The Brown family from Melbourne had the time of their lives in Club Med Phuket, Thailand with days packed with activities, discoveries and even a sports tournament for all 18 family members! While the kids loved competitive sports, the adults enjoyed spending well-deserved carefree time together. The family also has a love for dancing and made the most of the lively evenings on the dancefloor.\n1. Why did you choose to go to Club Med Phuket?\nWe have been to other Club Meds previously and loved the resort locations, facilities and activities and felt that the weather in February was perfect for Phuket.\nMy husband and 3 children, my husband’s 3 siblings and their families, and my mother- in- law.\nI started with the early group walk, met my family for breakfast then joined the Zumba and Pool Aerobics, often joined by other members of my family. After lunch I would relax by the pool. My husband and children loved the competitive sports and competitions. After dinner, we enjoyed the evening entertainment and of course the crazy signs and dancing each night. We also had our own table tennis tournament with all 18 family members. For a large family group of 3 generations, there was something for everyone and so many ways for us all to enjoy being together.\n5. What do you love most about Phuket as a destination?\nThe weather is consistently warm, the beaches stunning and the people so friendly.\nThe GO’s were amazing and really enhanced our experience. The central focal point of the pool, fun activity area and restaurant meant there was always a place to go to meet others and have fun. The quality and variety of cuisines was a delight. The beautiful beach and the town are at your doorstep if you choose to explore It is perfectly located.\n7. What is your top tip for a successful family trip in Club Med Phuket?\n8.

Which Club Med are you going to next or would you like to try next?\nFinding a future date and coordinating all the family is a big challenge but maybe Mauritius would be exciting.\nAnswers by Nicole Brown from Melbourne, thanks for your participation!\nPlanning on your next holiday? Discover more about Club Med Phuket here.\nFrom Perth, all 17 members of the Lim family stayed in Club Med Cherating Beach, Malaysia for some well-deserved time away together. They enjoyed the exotic jungle surroundings, indulged in all-inclusive food and drinks - perfect for a group full of super energetic and hungry teens and extra-easy for everyone to enjoy their holiday! Discover their full interview and photographs below.\n1. Why did you choose to go to Club Med Cherating Beach?\nMy family had been fortunate enough to have stayed at Club Med Bintan 5 years ago or so and we had always said we would love to go to another Club Med. We were also keen on going on a holiday with our good friends and my sister in laws family before all our kids grew up.\nSo in planning for this holiday we needed to stay at a place that was hassle free, full of activities for everyone and was also good value for money which is why Club Med was an obvious choice. We decided on Cherating Beach specifically as it was relatively close to Perth.\nI have a family of six (kids aged 7,9,11,13) and we travelled with my nephew (aged 15), our good friends ( kids aged 14,16) and also my sister in laws family (kids aged 9,11,13,15).\nAlthough the Kids Club was available, our children just loved spending time with their friends and cousins and even us adults! Our typical day in the resort started out with a fantastic breakfast over which we would plan out what everyone wanted to do for the day.\nWith activities being held at various times for different ages and at different locations, and also having to cater for our group of 17 people, we had to sort out the logistics of who was going where to do what and when !\nAfter busy mornings, lunch and afternoons - we would then return back to our rooms, freshen up and meet back at the bar and Orchid lounge for pre-dinner drinks before having dinner.\nAfter dinner, some of us would stay back to enjoy some more cocktails and watch the evening shows which were always entertaining.\n4. What do you love most about Cherating as a destination?\nCherating is actually set amongst a really beautiful natural lush environment which is lovely. I would also say the staff (from the reception staff to the Chief of Village) really made our stay a very memorable and enjoyable one.\n5. What were your highlights from the trip?\nThere actually were plenty of highlights from the trip rather than just one single thing or event. Just seeing the families really enjoy their time together, relaxing and having fun was more than enough of a highlight. The activities were made even more enjoyable because of the staff who were in charge of them. In fact, it was the staff and their pride in their job to make guests feel welcome that really made the trip a fantastic one.\nGitish who leads the circus team (Ray, Pascale, Candy and Ally). They were all so encouraging and friendly and our kids (and some of us adults) just loved going to the trapeze every day.\nGerard really hit it off with some of the kids at the Archery range and also thanks to Chico, Adam and Kuga who made our time at rock climbing and the tree top course lots of fun.\nA personal impromptu dance class kindly organised for us by Mike, the Chief of the Village, was another highlight from the trip.\nGuilherme the CM choreographer can truly move and his passion to teach has also inspired our kids to keep dancing.\nParticipating in all the activities helped us meet lots of amazing people, create precious lifelong memories and we even made some new friends along the way! (A big hello to Andrew, Janelle, Kaitland and Molly Smith from South Australia!).\nThe food at Club Med Cherating was fantastic and another stand out highlight from the trip. There was always such a huge variety to satisfy everyone in our travel group and the attention to detail and quality of food was second to none.\nWe managed to participate in all the activities during our 7 nights at CM Cherating and they were all enjoyable so it is really hard to pick out just one thing. If I had to choose, I probably enjoyed the Trapeze and Tennis (coached by Annie from Brisbane) and also of course the food the most. I think it really depends on your own interests though with regards to how one can best enjoy the resort. Some of our friends really loved going to the adults only zen pool to relax or having a massage ( not included in the package). Some of our kids really enjoyed the archery and trapeze whilst others enjoyed sailing and playing volleyball. The great thing about the resort was there was so much to do and everyone had ample opportunities to do whatever they preferred.\n7. What is your top tip for a successful family trip in Club Med Cherating?\nI would suggest staying for long enough (7 nights) to be able to try everything at least once or twice. Get involved in the activities on offer and interact with the fantastic GO's who are there, see what is on every day and then plan your day and night according to what you want to try and which part of the resort you want to spend time in.\n8. What are your favourite activities for a perfect family holiday in Club Med Cherating?\nI would have to say the eating and drinking are definite favourite activities for a perfect holiday in CM Cherating, followed closely by the Trapeze, hanging out at the sports activity area or going to other side of the resort to enjoy the beach and water activities available there.\n9. Which Club Med are you going to next?\nWe are actually heading back to Club Med Bintan next year to celebrate my mother in law's 75th birthday with all her children and grandchildren. So for this trip, we will have 8 adults and 10 children in total and I am very keen to see how Club Med Bintan compares to our wonderful CM Cherating experience.\nHopefully in the future I can also look at visiting one of the Club Meds in Japan for a snow holiday with my family but that is just a big dream in the pipeline at this stage!\nAnswers by Stephen Lim from Perth, thank you for your participation!\nIf you’d like more information about Club Med Cherating beach, discover all activities and about the destination here.\nJen Dugard, personal trainer, founder of mum-focused fitness business Body Beyond Baby and creator of Fitness Professional education Safe Return to Exercise, took part in Body & Soul 2018 in Club Med Bintan Island just a few weeks ago! She tells us everything about her experience and top tips for an amazing Body & Soul experience.\nBody & Soul is a two-weeks wellness journey where participant can come at any time to revitalise mind, body and soul in Club Med Bintan Island, near Singapore. On top of the Must-Try Experiences, you can look forward to additional activities, specially curated by our wellness instructors and partners. Whether with friends or family get ready to Eat Well, Move Well, Play Well and Feel Well to your heart’s content at Club Med Bintan Island, just a one-hour ferry ride from Singapore.\nInterested on hearing more about Body & Soul? Head over to our page explaining the concept and stay tuned for the 2019 edition!\nHi Jen, can you please introduce yourself?\nI’m a mum of two, Personal Trainer, founder of mum-focused fitness business Body Beyond Baby and creator of Fitness Professional education Safe Return to Exercise. I am a self-confessed adventurer, love taking part in challenging fitness events and exploring the world. Within my mission to ensure women are exercising safely and effectively after becoming a mother I hope this gives them the strength within to go out there on their own adventures, connect with their family and partners and accomplish all the things they dream of.\nCongrats on participating in the Body & Soul 2018 event, how did you find the experience?\nThank you! I had a ball and it’s such a beautiful place to be ‘working’ in. I found all of the Club Med staff and guests to be very welcoming and enthusiastic about Body & Soul. I also gave the classes of some of the other international trainers a go and loved them!\nInterestingly, I actually met a lot of Australians along with those from other parts of the world. Energy within our classes was great and I loved spending time with the guests. I especially loved being able to spend some one on one time with a few of the mums that came to my classes and we could talk about their own unique postnatal experiences and follow ups they might do once they got home.\nDescribe your typical day in Club Med Bintan Island during Body & Soul?\nMy typical day involved getting up anywhere between 6.30 am and 7.30 am depending on what I had planned; a run or my own training session followed by sampling one of the other trainers classes; yoga or beast move for example. Then heading to breaky to enjoy the amazing Club Med buffet! I would then work for a few hours on my computer (it wasn’t all a holiday for me) though I did take the weekend off and on these two days I relaxed and read by the pool instead of keeping up to date with my computer work. I would eat lunch around 1.30 and at 2 pm it was time to get ready for my mums-only class at 3 pm. An hour’s downtime in-between sessions and then set up for my Bootcamp / Circuit class at 5.15 pm. After this a quick swim, then shower and time for dinner! Some evenings we would then catch the show and others jump in to bed for an early (kid-free) sleep!\nWhat were your highlights of Body & Soul?\nDefinitely the amazing people I got to meet and the beautiful location!\nI LOVE spending time by the pool (but with the sun lounger facing the ocean rather than the pool ;) and also on the beach. I also found a couple of quiet hide spots where I could both sit and work but also take in the beautiful surroundings.\nWhat is your top tip to enjoy an active yet relaxing holiday – whether with the family or not?\nMy top tip would be to make sure you also relax and enjoy yourself and ALLOW yourself some down time as well as activity time. I think we sometimes forget to allow ourselves to just STOP, have fun, read a book or simply do nothing. I’m a big advocate for continuing activity or training on holidays but I like to make sure there’s relaxing too.\nMy bag was FULL of training clothes - both for training myself AND for running sessions. I also had a great book with me for down-time. My computer and notes to stay up to date at work. Ear-plugs and my own pillow - if I can’t sleep I’m grumpy and frustrated so these two things have become a vital part of my travel pack!\nI felt satisfied; excited from the awesome time we had and also a little tired. I was also pretty excited to be heading home to my family too by the end!\nThis is a tough one - if it was just my choice I’d be off to the Maldives or Mauritius but I also know my husband is super keen to head to Japan for the snow!\nInterested in knowing more about Club Med Bintan Island? Hear over to the resort page for more information!\nStart the day gently by finding balance with a yoga by the sea session, followed by a nourishing breakfast. The zen way to start the day!\nPractice your swing at your own pace or enjoy the all-included lesson to improve your game at the neighbouring Ria Bintan Island Golf Course - voted Asia Pacific's Best Golf Course.\nNourish your body with healthy salads, a fresh cold-pressed juice at our juice bar, or taste an indulgent lunch with international and local flavours. Who said holidays couldn't be healthy?\nGet active with snorkelling, sailing and stand-up paddleboarding; or treat yourself at the Hilltop Spa* with a relaxing massage while your little ones enjoy a cooking lesson in the Kids Club. Fun activities for everybody!\nWatch the kids soar through the air at sunset on our flying trapeze. A must-try in Bintan Island, don't forget the camera to capture this special moment.\nAfter a full day, it's time to savour a gourmet meal at La Terrasse specialty restaurant or to discover new culinary experiences at our renovated main restaurant, The Waterfall.\nWatch your little ones perform in a show, spend the evening at the bar, or just relax... The choice is yours!

Increasing acknowledgement that agriculture should be among the key sectors driving the economy and job creation in South Africa has leaned mainly on potential expansion in hectares of labour-intensive and globally sought-after horticultural products as well as traditional grains and oilseeds.\nIn addition to the aforementioned crops, the changing perceptions about cannabis around the globe – and its growing value – raise a question of whether South Africa should put a concerted effort into research on this crop so that policymakers can better assess if its production benefits could be balanced by measures to mitigate unintended consequences.\nA recent Constitutional Court ruling decriminalised the private use of cannabis in South Africa, but the conditions and boundaries still need to be considered and legislated. Furthermore, the decriminalisation for private use might not be where the commercial value lies. The focus should rather be on exploring the possible benefits for the country through the controlled international trade in cannabis and its products, and also medicinal-use purposes in the domestic market.\nPotential export markets include the US, Canada and China, as some regions within these countries have decriminalised cannabis. In the state of California in the US, the value of the cannabis industry was estimated at $3 billion in 2017. Colorado and Florida were valued at more than $1 billion each.\nIn the same year, Canada spent over $5 billion on cannabis for medical and non-medical purposes.\nIn China – which grows nearly half the world’s legal hemp – sales of textile fibre made from the plant’s stalk totalled $1.2 billion in 2017.\nSouth Africa already trades agricultural commodities with these countries. Their increasing desire for cannabis and its product is thus interesting. It would offer extra value if South Africa was to follow the route of producing the crop for international trade and medicinal use within a clearly regulated environment.\nI am not arguing for any particular policy position regarding cannabis, but rather for increased research that would assist policymakers in evaluating the benefits, and possible unintended consequences, of growing and trading cannabis. The research should take stock of the changing perceptions surrounding this crop globally, as week as its growing demand and commercial value.\nIn the coming years, depending on whether South Africa’s policy position on cannabis follows global developments, the ideal provinces would be Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo due to favourable climatic conditions.\nWandile Sihlobo is an agricultural economist and head of research at Agbiz.\nWe should, but let’s just remember that while marijuana is legal in for example Canada, California, Colarado – they do not permit imports at all.\nOn the positive side, we already have ten million skilled growers, so getting going will be easy.\nSeems logical although is that the only thing that can be grown in those areas? If not then the gov should prioritise getting that land into productive use regardless of the product really. If we are going to fully legalise it then formalizing the production then makes a lot of sense and should be supported, we need all the wins we can get right now.\nAnyone know the going rate per hectare for land around the Port St Johns area? Asking for a friend.\nThe knowledge of both the medical and non medical properties have been known for 100s of years, just like the electric and hydro powered vehicle.\nIt’s simple the control of big business and government that have kept it out of the public reach so that the big businesses benefit and keep control of their industries.\nYou can also include crypto currencies and other drugs which will at some point in time become both legal and safe to use.\nSouth Africa has a problem and that is “entitlement”, some how we all believe or have been made to believe that the world owes us for our own historical misfortunes and poor rule.\nIn order to make this work we would need much more than sheer policy.\nOf course we should… The gains we could make in our textile, energy, medical and other sectors would be massive. Even if we can’t export the fact that we would be importing less would be huge. Investment would come as well.\nLol, and to whom will we export our pristine product?

I don’t actually know the book you are referring to, but it sounds like the kind of book that was really popular around that time. I can see some value in the business pivot idea, as you haven’t wasted as much time and money developing something that maybe people don’t want, or will require major rectifications and changes.\n“Business pivot” seems like a really odd kind of expression, though. It doesn’t really sound like it has relevance to the subject matter Eric Reis is talking about.\nThanks for your visit and for sharing your thoughts on the post. I do appreciate it.\nI used the term “business pivot” to differentiate it from the physical pivot step, and perhaps it isn’t a common expression.\nAs for the mind-pivoting thing, while I do value openness to other people’s suggestions and am most appreciative of those who give me feedback, I am perhaps a bit leery of anything that might lead to having such an open mind that your brains fall out. But, that’s just me….\nThanks for your article, Netta!\nI kind of think I know this concept, but not with this name. Years ago I used to make web sites, and there I could see two different approaches. Some people they really tweaked and tuned the web site until it was perfect to the very last pixel and tested and everything 110% ready. And then there were others, like me, who wanted to get reasonable site done pretty quickly, and then improve upon it over time. I guess the overall time spent would still be the same, though.\nThanks for your visit and your clarification of the concept. Maybe I’m applying the thing too broadly.\nAs luck would have it, I’ve just stumbled across a new book, PIVOT: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One, by Jenny Blake who is the co-creator of Google’s “Career Guru” program. It’s aimed for people who are looking for making a career change. I’ll see what she has to say on all of this.

It is usually a good practice to remove these things.\nNote The name "apps for Share Point" is changing to "Share Point Add-ins".\nDuring the transition, the documentation and the UI of some Share Point products and Visual Studio tools might still use the term "apps for Share Point".\nThe infrastructure will rerun the event, , up to three additional times.\nAfter four timeouts, Share Point will roll back the entire add-in installation.\nSince your service will be sending a cancel message to Share Point, the add-in will not be removed from the recycle bin.\nIf it is restored from there and used again, it may fail to work without that database entry.\n実行します。アドインは、ハンドラーが完了するまで使用できませんし、ハンドラーはインストールをキャンセルできるからです (キャンセルすると、Share Point によってインストールの一部として実行された操作内容すべてがロールバックされます)。実際に、これはハンドラーにおけるエラーをキャッチして Share Point にインストール内容をロールバックするようにさせるベスト プラクティスです。詳細については、「アドイン イベント ハンドラーにロールバック ロジックと『既に実行』ロジックを含める」をご覧ください。The App Installed event runs immediately after Share Point has finished everything that it needs to do when the add-in is installed, but before the user is notified that installation is complete. The add-in is not available for use until after your handler has completed and your handler can cancel the installation (which will cause Share Point to roll back everything it has done as part of the installation).\nIn fact, it is a best practice to catch any errors in your handler and instruct Share Point to roll back the installation.\nThere are two ways to register a handler: When a registered event occurs, Share Point calls the appropriate method in your service and passes an object that provides some context information for your code.

Morale patches have been an important element in military culture for generations. Some patriotic, some humorous, there are many sizes and styles to choose from. But we have yet to see a morale patch that is truly functional, so we decided to change that.\nEmbrite is the TEC Accessories proprietary glow technology, affording the brightest, longest lasting 'glow-in-the-dark'(GID) effect available today. And now you can get Embrite performance in a morale patch! And like a beacon shining in the night that offers a bright guiding light, the BEACON morale patch will be just as effective.\nThis Embrite morale patch features a 2" x 3" surface area, and is 3/16" thick. The "hook" side of a standard Hook and Loop fastener is applied to the back for attachment to any flat surface containing the "Loop" side of the fastener. This makes the perfect glow marker or "find in the dark" feature to anything it is attached to. Stick one on your tactical bag, cap, or anything containing the "Loop" fastener material. We also include the mating "Loop" material which has a strong industrial adhesive backing, so you can attach this patch to virtually any surface you install the material onto.\nWhen exposed to sunlight or UV light, the proprietary Embrite slab will glow for hours... the longer the exposure time and the higher the light intensity, the longer and brighter it will glow. Glow times can last as long as 12 hours! This cutting edge technology will outlast and outshine anything on the market.

We're going back twenty-five years once more to the Middlewich of 1987 with these pictures from the Carole Hughes Collection taken by her friend Diane Parr.\nThe second photo in this diary entry focuses on the interior of one of the town's most fondly-remembered shops but, before we take a look at it, it's well worth looking at the picture above in its own right as it shows the way things were in those days when it came to shopping in Middlewich town centre.\nTo the left of the picture, next to the church and bathed in sunshine, you can just make out Brockley's paint, wallpaper, and decorating supplies shop with its side window facing the lower part of Hightown.\nBrockley's moved from this location to a shop near the top end of Wheelock Street not long after this picture was taken.\nNext to Brockley's is the shop we've immortalised as 'The Butchered Butchers Shop'.\nDaniel Preston managed to get pictures of this unfortunate shop just after it closed at the end of 1988 and fell into the hands of people with scant regard for its history and architectural merits.\nThen comes the NatWest Bank (which, in those days, kept regular banking hours like any other bank) and the Co-op, by this time no longer billing itself as 'The Co-operative Superstore', but still boasting its rather impressive canopy, albeit with a small blue Co-op logo replacing the original sign.\nLooking at this nondescript building today, with its modest Tesco Express and Pineland shops it's hard to imagine that it could ever be described as a 'superstore', but appearances are deceptive.\nMuch of the building is taken up now by a large storage area at the rear of the premises belonging to Pineland. This is the area which was once the Co-op's furniture department, reached by a rather impressive staircase from the ground floor.\nThe removal of the canopy from the front of the building has served to emphasise its loss of stature.\nNext comes another long lost Middlewich institution, Skellon's shoe shop, where we were all taken as children to be fussed over by assistants with tape measures, rulers and 'Clark's Children's Foot Gauges' to ensure that we were always given shoes which fitted properly, thus avoiding our being maimed for life by shoes which were too big or too small.\nNext comes that wonderful shop which everyone remembers with a great deal of affection - G Samuel & Son, which we'll be examining the interior of shortly and, finally, Reg Taylor's Newsagents, once the employers of the redoubtable Daniel Preston and Cliff Astles, both pioneers of the art of paper shredding.\nWell, whoever would have thought we'd ever see this scene again, even if it is only in photographic form?\nIt's the interior of the legendary Samuel's shop - technically, at least, an ironmongers but in reality stocking a bewildering array of household goods of all kinds: plastic buckets, seeds, disinfectant, paint, dusters, walking sticks, coat-hangers, garden tools, ribbon, washing baskets, clothes dyes....and that's just a random selection of what can be seen in this photograph.\nThe two Samuels - Senior and Junior - were seldom stumped, whatever you asked them for and if they should happen to be 'temporarily out of stock' on some item or other, you could be sure they'd get it for you in very short order.\nIt was a delight to shop there; the Samuels had that old-fashioned courteous way of dealing with the public which we all miss so much these days and the words 'thank you!' and 'ta!' were bandied about freely.\nIn fact, in the end, Peter Samuel adopted his own portmanteau word and would say 'thankyou-ta!' at the slightest provocation.\nYou get something of the same feeling today when shopping at Middlewich DIY.\nWe're grateful to Diane Parr for having the foresight to take this photo and to Carole for allowing us to bring it to you.\nLynne Towers I love this photo. Fantastic Samuels!\nKaren Reynolds It sold everything you needed!\nMaureen Condra I called in there a few times when I was over for a visit.\nChristine May The shop always had a nice smell.\nCarole Hughes It did, Christine. It was a great shop.\nDave Roberts Does anyone know the older Mr Samuels first name? I know the son was called Peter. They were both a delight to do business with, full of charm and old-fashioned courtesy. And yes, the shop sold everything you could think of, and if it wasn't in stock they'd get it for you.\nMaureen Condra I bought a lot of things there. I still have a tea-towel and some cups I bought there.\nChristine May I'm so glad I didn't do the stock-take!\nWendy Sproston My Mum used to go in there for everything.\nPaul Hough What a fantastic shop. I've still got a kitchen knife I bought there. Twenty-odd years old and still going strong!\nDave Roberts Absolutely wonderful! Who would have thought we'd ever see it again, even if it is only a photograph?\nSince this entry was written, the NatWest Bank has closed its doors for good and the premises are, by all accounts, going to become a carpet shop.* Pineland, too, has closed down and the Choklat Bar, which was based in Reg Taylor's shop, closed down after a partial collapse of its floor on New Years Eve 2013. The likelihood is that it will be absorbed into the neighbouring Chimichangos Mexican restaurant.\nUpdate (2017): In fact what used to be the Choklat Bar is now Maggie Finn's Tea shop.\n* In the Spring of 2017 Manchester Carpets opened the shop for the sale of beds and mattresses.\nIn October 2017 'Maggie Finn's Tea Shop' relocated to Maggie Finn's Tea Garden in Canal Terrace and Reg Taylor's former shop underwent yet another transformation, this time into the offices of a web design company.\nAlthough I moved from Middlewich in the sixties Carole's photo is exactly as I remember it. I always think of Samuels when I see the Two Ronnies "4 candles sketch". Anyone remember being told to go to Samuels for a "pound of Skyhooks"\nFunnily enough, Margaret, that sketch always reminds me of Samuels too.

It’s summertime! The kids are out of school. The weather is at its warmest. And the outdoors is beckoning. But summertime is an important time to stay diligent about skin care and skin protection so we’re sharing some tips that will surely keep your skin healthy and dewy, even as the mercury rises.\nYou may think you only need to wear sunscreen when taking a trip to the beach or a dip in the pool, but even those walks to lunch or running errands can put you at risk of too much sun exposure. So be sure to make sunscreen application a part of your everyday morning routine, and it will surely become a habit come fall.\nThe intense summer sun, in combination with the heat, humidity and indoor A/C, will wreak havoc on your skin. If you’re not using moisturizer, now is a good time to start. Use a moisturizer with SPF during the day but opt for a richer lotion after beach days and before bed to keep your skin hydrated and soft.\nYour body tends to lose a lot of moisture in the summer. So it’s important to drink lots of water and eat foods like cucumber, watermelon and pineapple, which all have high water content, to replenish the skin and keep it looking radiant.\nYour lips and eyelids are the most delicate parts of your face, and most susceptible to wrinkling, if neglected. Protect those sensitive areas with creams and balms. If your usual products are feeling a little too heavy in the summer heat, replace them with lighter formulas.\nWe can’t talk about summer skin care without discussing bug bites. The combination of summer heat and moisture is a breeding mecca for bugs, and creates a flourishing population of mosquitoes, ants, ticks and bees. Commonly used insect repellents have the potential to cause damage to the nervous system, so I always recommend non-toxic alternatives. For example, 100-200 mg of thiamine, or Vitamin B1, taken orally for 1 to 2 weeks has been known to repel mosquitoes. And zinc, which can alter a person’s body odor, seems to make people less likely to be bitten. But if you feel you need a repellent spray, try California Baby, an all-natural product that is safe and effective.\nOf course, the holy grail of healthy, glowing skin during the summer and throughout the year is a healthy diet, a lot of sleep and moderate exercise. So in addition to the tips above, don’t forget to eat a balanced diet, get some exercise, get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day. Enjoy your summer!

Anti-TNF levels will be checked at birth in mother, cord and infant. If levels detectable, will check infant at 3 months; if detectable at 6 months.\nIf you have a patient enrolled who is on anti-TNF therapy will be eligible for this. We would really LOVE to capture these patients.\nResponse to vaccines will also be measured in all infants greater than 7 months of age. This is part of standard of care to see if they responded to their vaccines given immunosuppression use. We can enroll any existing PIANO patients in this regardless of medication exposure. We are targeting 300-400 patients.\nT and B cell development. This is a substudy, separately funded, where we are measuring T and B cell development in children exposed to anti-TNF in utero.

Do you think your cardio workouts have to be long to be effective? What if you could burn more calories in a shorter amount of time?\nIncreased your metabolic rate, allowing you to burn calories for hours after you were finished.\nImproved your oxygen consumption (VO2 max).\nDecreased both your heart rate and blood pressure.\nHelped you lose that stubborn fat, even belly fat.\nPerhaps it sounds too good to be true, but research shows that high intensity interval training can provide all of these benefits, and more.\nHigh intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of cardio that alternates periods of intense exercise with low-intensity recovery periods. Typically the sessions last from 10-30 minutes in duration.\nSo, how does this look? I always start my clients out on a stationary bike. For the first 45 seconds of every minute I have them pedal at a normal pace. Once the timer hits 45 seconds, they are instructed to sprint.This is the high intensity part. Your heart rate should be between 80-95% of your maximum heart rate (maximum heart rate = 220-your age). If you don’t have a way to monitor your heart rate then just make sure you can’t talk during those last 15 seconds.\nStart with a total of 10 minutes and work your way up to 20-30 minutes one to two times a week. While I always start my clients out on the stationary bike, any form of cardio will work. For more info, see https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/benefits-of-hiit.\nKaren empowers women ages 40 and over to improve their overall health so that they can take on life's challenges and adventures with renewed energy and confidence. She is a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and an elite personal trainer with Dynamic Fitness Management in O’Fallon, MO.\nHave you made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight, exercise more, or eat better only to feel defeated a month or two later?\nAlmost nothing can make us more despondent than stepping onto the scale one morning to find that we have gained three pounds overnight. What’s really happening?\nYou’re under pressure at work or home and the stress is beginning to show. Perhaps you have noticed some weight gain, specifically that bulge around your middle that wasn’t there before. Chronic stress may be one of the culprits.

Poetry collections are unlike any other type of book, because they appeal to the reader on an entirely different emotional and intellectual level. Poetry can almost be described as an “art form” of the written word—so readers will expect poetry book covers to reflect that unique spirit. There are so many directions you can take based on the theme of your poetry collection. Yet, just like the images used for any other genre, the design of your self-published poetry book’s cover must grab your audience’s attention and entice them to buy.\nFor National Poetry Month, Self-Publishing Relief shares design tips that you can implement when creating the cover for your self-published poetry chapbook.\nIn this example, we have the outline of a falling woman against a black background with the title in lowercase type. The woman’s ghostly outline conveys drama and suspense. This could be just the thing to catch a potential reader’s eye in a bookstore, a social media stream, or an online bookstore.\nPoetry often invites readers to experience the written word—and the world—in a new, surprising way. This beautifully drawn image of an elephant delicately balanced on teacups echoes the balance that can be achieved through the mindfulness, joy, and philosophical elements of the poetry featured in this book. Use artwork that reflects the tone or theme of your collection.\nUnlike genres where the cover is expected to look a certain way and use specific fonts, poetry book covers have more freedom to express creativity. You can experiment with distinctive, attention-grabbing typefaces to determine which is most likely to embody your poetry collection and attract your audience.\nThe artwork for your poetry chapbook cover doesn’t have to be deep and serious—especially if your writing has a touch of humor or whimsy! Shel Silverstein’s quirky drawings let readers know immediately that they’re in for an uncommon poetry experience, and have become as memorable as his poetry.\nQUESTION: What is your favorite poetry book cover?

The natural forms of Rio’s morros and beaches generate an elastic, malleable quality within the city’s urban fabric, while the dynamism of Copacabana – with its energy and rhythm – is one of the city’s most important public spaces.\nCasa Atlântica’s design continues the liberating composition and spatial flow inherent within Brazil’s rich Modernist tradition, engaging with the unique tempo and vitality of Copacabana’s urban beach culture, as well as the fluidity of its renowned Burle Marx promenade.\nWorking within site restrictions governing the height and distance from adjacent buildings, Casa Atlântica’s design establishes a fluid order defined by its structure which morphs and expands at each level to define generous balconies, and dividing each floor into separate residential units.\nFacing southeast to Copacabana Beach, the design branches towards its neighbouring buildings to establish a continuity with the existing the urban fabric of Avenida Atlântica.\nAre you sure you want to delete this placement from Casa Atlântica?\nAre you sure you want to delete from Casa Atlântica?

WASHINGTON – It’s no surprise that constant stress can make people sick, and now a team of researches has figured out how.\nThe study also found the increase in IL-6 can linger in care givers for a s long as three years after a caregiver had ceased that role because of the spouse’s death. Of the test group, 78 spouses died during the survey.\n“This really makes a link to why chronic stress can actually kill people,” said Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, professor of psychiatry at Ohio State University.

UNITED NATIONS, July 20 -- It's a late Friday afternoon in late July at the UN, and Korea is the theme. In Conference Room 4, a General Assembly committee is meeting on North Korea's complaint about Japan "abusing the national sovereign rights of Koreans in Japan in wanton violation of the internationally recognized norms and regulations."\nLet's say you're a reporter. The sign in front Conference Room 4 doesn't say "closed," as the sign in front of a Department of Political Affairs "Donor Round Table" in Conference Room B did. So you go in and sit down. Japan's deputy permanent representative Shinyo is speaking, about what he calls the entirely legal and routine closing down of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan.\nYou start taking notes, but a man in a suit comes over and asks to see you identification card. "No press," he says. You head back into to the hall, stopping to listen to a second-tier diplomat you know. "Are you here for North Korea?" you ask.\n"No, something else," he says. Terrorism. "There's a problem in every room." That's the UN. You head to the Vienna Cafe for a $2.10 medium latte. As an always friendly staffer, who works for Aramark catering, foams the milk for you, the head of the UN's Office of Internal Oversight Services, Inga-Britt Ahlenius, gets up from her table, sees you and nods.\n"Cote d'Ivoire," you say. Three hours earlier at Ban Ki-moon's spokesperson's noon press briefing, it was announced that OIOS is investigating a contingent of UN peacekeepers based in the Ivorian city of Bouake for "wide-spread sexual exploitation and abuse." While the Spokesperson doesn't say from which troop contributing country the accused contingent comes, those who are based in Bouake include Moroccan, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Ghanaian forces. An insider's tip says the continent is Moroccan, and 800 soldiers strong.\n"We finished that report," says Ms. Ahlenius of OIOS. One of her staffers, always with her, whispers. "No that's something different," she adds.\n"You all are everywhere," you say, to keep things friendly, referring to seeing this same troika in the lunchroom-like cafeteria and now in the Vienna cafe.\n"We have to be," Ms. Ahlenius replies. And then is gone.\nBan Ki-moon, on Cote d'Ivoire, has done months without appointing a replacement special envoy. Ban has just returned from a one day meeting in Lisbon. While he was away, the South Korean mission opened an exhibition in the General Assembly's lobby, of Korean crafts. Ban Ki-moon's wife Yoo Soon-taek, mostly called "Mrs. Ban," spoke at the opening, and was shown all the displays.\nNow that Mr. Ban is back, the show will be repeated, but for a smaller crowd. Nearly all Korean, as it turns out. The event was not in the UN's Media Alert, but was listed in an update to Mr. Ban's schedule. You've also been told that a Korean TV crew is bragging they have an interview with Ban, as if he's a Hollywood celebrity.\nThe UN, as an aside, loves movie stars, and often hands them the podium. On Thursday a press conference on human trafficking was held by Julia Ormond. Among other things she referred to "a member of Hezbollah" who funded operations by "trafficking women in Vienna," using his "cell phone from prison." Video here, from Minute 26:55.\nThat this sounds like an urban legend is not the point. As one snarky correspondent was heard to say as the briefing began, she has only really heard of Julia Ormond within the United Nations. "What movie was she in, again?"\nBut back to the Secretary-General, or Ban Ki-Whom as one English paper put it. As you approach the crafts display, you're told, "This is just a photo op, no questions can be asked." You nod: you have a camera. But when Mr. Ban arrives, he bows and shake hands, and then speaks to the Korean media. In Korean. He gets applause, he poses for pictures. Then he heads back to the 38th floor, for a meeting with three representatives of the African Group, including Zimbabwe. The topic presumably will be Ban's consolidation of the Office of the Special Advisor on Africa. "No questions," you were told. But there's nothing but questions.\nGiven Mr. Ban's omission of Somalia in his July 16 press conference, click here for a Reuters AlertNet piece by this correspondent about the National Reconciliation Congress, the UN's $200,000 contribution from an undefined trust fund, and note the cancellation of the UN's pre-Congress flight to Mogadishu.

One of my resolutions this year is to save, save, save but this is so hard when all I do is spend, spend spend. Like seriously, I’ve already bought myself a new designer bag, a holiday, new tops and an outfit from Asos this month and it’s currently the 10th January. To be fair I don’t go buying holidays every month, and the bag was in the sale but I just can’t seem to be strict enough with myself. Do you guys have any tips? I might be a nerd and make an excel spreadsheet of my outgoings to try and track my spending and guilt myself into not making that asos order.\nI’ve been wanting to re-do my bedroom for a while, I’ve got a built in wardrobe but it’s so big and bulky it just consumes a third of the room almost. I was thinking of having one of those Ikea systems like these instead but again it’s just more expensive when I’m supposed to be saving. I also want a new flooring for it, a re-paint (but luckily I have a painter decorator boyfriend) so that’s going to be my project for the next month or so. I’ll keep you posted.\nI just love how ALL of these points are totally contradicting point 1 ‘to save’ pah. This has been planned for a while though so totally doesn’t count AND it’s not going to break the bank so all good, in my head. Myself and my bestie Rosie are planning a long weekend in Berlin. We couldn’t decide between there or Budapest but I think Berlin might just be winning. Hopefully we’ll book up this week so any tips would be amazing! Things to do, places to wander, shops to visit, restaurants to eat, basically anything!\nAs you might tell, I’ve been doing a fair amount of holiday browsing this month – I think it’s a bleak ‘get me out of this rainy country’ January thing. I was looking for inspo on the Ice Lolly blog and came across their Holiday Heroes competition, where you could nominate someone who deserves a holiday for the hard work they do for others. They’ve now picked a worthy winner, and it made me realise, I do preeeetty much nothing to help anyone or anything in need apart from the odd donation. I’ve been having a look around at local charities and found a rabbit rescue I hope to be able to volunteer with, putting time to good use and an activity that doesn’t involving shopping/spending money.\nI have about ten million notebooks and planners that I should really be putting to good use. This week I’m going to attempt a blog planner and see if I stick to it. As I also work 40 hours aside from this blog it can be tricky to always be on top of content, posts, collaborations and social media, the list goes on! I don’t want to be that girl that cancels on drinks with a friend because ‘sorry got a blog post to write’ but I’m thinking if I try and plan my free evenings and blog evenings in advance it might make life easier.\nThis felt a bit like a therapy session, unloading the thoughts rattling around in my head but hopefully I didn’t bore you too much and I’ll be back with all things shoes, bags and coats soon.

Response to the article: “A Teacher’s View on Tenure”.\n1. It was written by a teacher.\n2. She is a department chairperson.\n3. A teacher working in the Los Angeles USD (LAUSD).\n4. It is a “different” discussion concerning teacher tenure.\nI greatly appreciate that this article is written by a teacher; and that she does not rely on some of the old tired, and false clichés of “protecting academic freedom”. I won’t speak for all superintendents but in my experience (and in my own principal experience); I did not see principals rushing to get rid of teachers who were effective in the classroom; and thus aiding in the principal’s own “professional survival”! One of the great myths in public education is this idea of this drive on the part of principals of trying to get rid of good (effective) teachers. For sure, I have seen some principals who were ineffective in the role of being good school building instructional leaders; or some even not very good at being good building/staff/people managers. But these few people don’t make the case for the need for teacher tenure in the K-12 world. It would be much more productive, educationally (for the sake of the children), to professionally develop, or (if that fails) remove these ineffective principals. The response to a “bad” principal is not a bad regulation that would allow ineffective teachers to essentially keep a job for life, regardless of the quality of the professional product. Further a lengthy, expensive and distracting process of removal for reasons of incompetence, and in many cases criminality is also not in the best interest of a resource strapped public school system. It is important to note that the writer is a departmental chairperson. This fact goes a long way in understanding her thoughtful take on tenure as a teacher. (For those who may not know) As a departmental chairperson she has no doubt gained the respect of her peers, and administration for her effective classroom practice; why is this important? The discussion of tenure among educational professionals is almost always related to a: “personal situation” (Our stand on the topic is often based on where we stand professionally!). As a principal (and my entire professional life) I actually never thought about tenure; my focus was on the pursuit of professional excellence; “how well were the students doing?” was my primary question. Now, my life perhaps would have taken a very different professional, and monetary turn if I had been more of a “careerist”; but I make no apologies, and have no regrets, as to my singular focus on students. Further, the best (most effective) teachers I have supervised cared less about tenure, and more about their students succeeding academically. And the “best of the best” actually wanted to be challenged to improve their practice. Also important, effective teachers were not “impressed” with colleagues who were “poor performers” or “slackers!” The most effective educators I have encountered over the years; have in a sense, been driven by a set of core ethics; these ethical values would produce a great deal of discomfort on the part of that teacher, if students were failing, and they were just “collecting a check”. At the same time these individuals wanted to work in an environment where the leadership practices and evaluations, were driven by school building leaders with knowledge of teaching and learning standards; and who also evaluated them through a code of professional ethics. No professional should be judged by arbitrary, or unprincipled standards. I actually believe that the two principles of: “Do no harm to children”, and the good professional and ethical treatment of teachers can be balanced; but it would take a little more intellectual and political courage then has been displayed so far in this national conversation on teacher tenure. One of my primary critiques/concerns of the entire “teacher tenure” conversation is its limitations. This is due in large part to that fact that the conversation is being led to a large extent (on both sides) by people who have little, to no experience in the actual practice of school based teaching and leadership! Or, on the other hand by people and organizations who don’t have the educational interest of the children as a primary (not accidental) objective of the entire public education effort. This misguided conversation is also taking place in an atmosphere where the “solutions” to pedagogical problems are “oversimplified”, “sloganized”, and “dumb down”; or in the case of some printed journalistic efforts: insanely and provocatively sensationalized. And it is this: “one act solves all educational problems” approach that is responsible for so much harm, and misdirected behaviors presently at work in the profession. This confusion further contributes to a primary reason that public education continues to fail, and in particular, fail children and communities of color. Unfortunately, these same theoretically deficient “ magic-bullet solutionneers”, just take turns, by ascending and descending into, and out of power; and so we never get at the fundamental problems that cause so many children to not have a positive public educational experience.\nSome very well-meaning folks have invested time-effort and money in legal challenges to state teacher tenure laws (thus the LAUSD point). I agree with the fundamental idea that they put forward, that “tenure laws” are inconsistent with creating learning institutions that affirm the child’s right to be safe, and to effectively learn; above the right of an individual adult to be employed in that particular job category. Now this is not such a strange or radical idea that people make it out to be. Every day our “rights” are evaluated in relationship to the greater “community good”; and the rights of others in the community. We have a right to own a car, but not a right to drive without a license, insurance, recklessly or drunk; “free speech” (as we are often forced to explain to students); does not mean any speech, in any place, at any volume, and at any time. “Rights” don’t exist in isolation, they are not absolute, there are “standards”, and a “hierarchy of rights” that must be taken into consideration. Society has even gone as far (and rightfully so) to say that your right to be a parent, is not greater than your child’s right to not be abused, to not be put in physical or psychological danger, or to not be educated. And so I agree with the fundamental premise of the “no tenure” folks. My concern is that too much is being promised with the removal of teacher tenure; promises that in reality can’t be realized by this single act. Even if a school district was able to remove 15% of its lowest performing teachers (assuming we created a sound standard-rubric based system to determine such people); we would still need to effectively and efficiently improve the practice of the remaining 85%. We would need to make sure that the 85% “good practitioners” had the materials and supplies they need to do their work effectively. We would need to come up with a plan to retain these effective teachers; and also come up with a plan to recruit replacements for the 15% that were removed (at the same time that a percentage of the 85% are also retiring each year). And particularly in middle and high schools, we would need to make sure that these 85% effective teachers could work in a safe, “teaching-efficient” and productive school learning environment. This would mean adding all of the much-needed out of classroom student support systems and resources (i.e. counseling, informal education programs, academic support, etc.) to complement all of this “good teaching”. Finally, to fully support the 85% we would need to develop a strong crop of effective school building leaders (SBL). These leaders would need to have a deep knowledge of how to build a strong, positive, safe and productive school culture, knowledge of pedagogical theories, strongly literate in content standards and teaching methodology; and be fluent in theories of personnel development. These SBLs would need to function as the “Chief Instructional Coach”, and primary professional developers in the school building. My hypothesis (based on experience), is that a school can survive a lot of things; but it is almost impossible for a school to survive, and thrive under poor and ineffective leadership. A bad SBL could even undermine the best work, of the best teachers!\nFurther, the terribly misguided and destructive approach of many of the “anti-tenure” crowd, to utilize standardized assessments to “weed out” bad teachers is just plain bad pedagogy. The role of standardized assessments is to serve as a diagnostic tool to better serve the needs of children; while at the time improve and sharpen teaching methodology. This means that the teacher evaluation process should be focused on discovering and developing talent, not “catching folks”. Therefore the “evaluation process” should be in three parts: standardized assessments, the formal and informal observations of teachers, (guess what) teaching; and the assessment of student work (product). Utilizing standardized assessments, and classroom observations as punitive tools; is to try to fix a political problem (the absence of the will on the part of politicians to declare children a “protected class”) with tools designed for student diagnostic/development purposes, and a teacher professional development tool. In education, when we use good tools for the wrong reasons; bad things happen to children and adults.\nThe action needed must be different as the writer points out; but I would go a step further and say the plan must be “upsetting” and “disturbing” to the present state of affairs. “Nibbling” on the edges of the problem won’t get it. Things are not going well; and if so many children are not successful; then how can the professionals who serve them call themselves successful; or in our language: Proficient? The “teacher tenure” question, in my view is a professional ethics question (and the way it should be solved). If as professionals we declare that public schools are “High Reliability Organizations” (HROs); or as I also like to call them High Risk Organizations; an idea from the book: Managing the Unexpected, Sutcliffe & Weick. Although very diverse in their missions and structures; HRO’s all seem to have some fundamental organizing principles in common. In short HROs are those organization where a “failure” can lead to serious injury, great societal harm, or death; examples of these type of organizations are: Air craft carriers, Nuclear power plants, hospitals and fire departments. In these types of organizations incompetence could equal death, to either the professionals involved, or the public in general. Therefore, they necessarily recruit based on the criteria of “high competence”; and they also have an extremely low tolerance for incompetence. It is an important first step that these organizations recruit the best, and most skilled for the job description. Sincere outside stake-holders who are unpracticed, untrained and lacking in the technical professional knowledge; don’t make the personnel decisions for HRO’s. Second, there is some type of extensive internship program where after earning certification, the practitioner must further train under the watchful eye of an effective “master” veteran in the field (they never have their practitioners leave “basic training”, and then go directly into solo practice). Third, there is a great deal of constant attention to the upgrading, (and yes evaluation) and professional development of skills and competency. Fourth, since the emphasis is on competency; tenure (or right to a position) can’t be used to compromise the mission, the successful operation, the safety of the organization, the success and safety of the team, or the safety and well-being of the public it seeks to serve. Finally, these HRO’s all seem to have very powerful systems of review, monitoring, and “operational redundancy” (someone is always checking on the “checker”, so that nothing is missed); and have strong “self-evaluative-correcting procedures in place; (i.e. they honestly deal with the: “What went wrong question”. Now some of us believe that public schools fit the definitions of HROs. And if proof is needed, all one need do is to visit any state prison (and imprisoning a lot of people, is actually something we do pretty efficiently as a nation); and there you will encounter the casualties (prisoners) of a public education system that failed to capture the curiosity, talent and the natural inclination to learn that these prisoners had at a young age. There is a terrible societal price we choose to pay for so many poor educational outcomes. In an interesting and tragic way we have transformed “school failure”, into some very robust, financially rich and vibrant criminal justice-social service systems. However, I think that there is a more humane, positive and a safer path to economic development besides depending on school failure.\nAnd that is why the answer to the “tenure” question will ultimately reflect our thoughts on the ethics of professionalism, and our responsibly to the nation’s future. If public schools were declared, and designated HROs, the tenure debate would be brought into a self-determining/defining focus. A hierarchy of “rights” will be established that in all situations favor the safety and educational well-being of children. The school system would then shift from a primary mission as a “business”, and an employer of adults; to a “prime directive” to do everything within its power to do no harm to children; which means to educate them as if we all saw every school child, as our own child; as if we need every child to cure, care and comfort us as we pass on the responsibility for the planet to them. As if our future well-being as a nation depended on them; and you know something; it really does!

A luscious spiced coconut milk sauce and nutrient-dense bok choy add a delightful light, sweet flavor to this stovetop-braised fish. Try it today to enjoy both its delectable flavor and health benefits.\nNot only is coconut prized for being delicious, like in the recipe for Fish Cooked in Spicy Coconut Sauce with Bok Choy above, but this tropical fruit is prized for its versatility and healthfulness. When young, a coconut is large and green, and used mostly for coconut water, a refreshingly sweet drink full of electrolytes, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The white meat at this stage is soft and gelatinous. Coconut products such as fresh and dried coconut, coconut milk, and coconut oil are made from the thick white meat of the mature coconut, which has fibrous brown skin on the outside.\nCoconut oil, a traditional oil used in such diverse cultures as India, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being anti-viral, antibacterial, and anti-fungal. The oil is used to stabilize blood sugar, which makes it good for those suffering from metabolic syndrome; it is good for those with candida and digestive ailments as well.\nStart your day out right with one of our hearty, healthy breakfasts. We've added 30 new delectable breakfast recipes including breakfast burritos and quesadillas, omelets, muffins, and more. They taste great and can be prepared in just minutes, so you can be out the door in no time and primed to begin a new day.\n1. Say “Ah” – your oral health matters as it is a direct link to your heart health. The sage advice to ”brush and floss” and stay current with your dental check-ups holds true as inflammation and problems in the mouth affect the heart as unchecked nasty oral bacteria can travel and cause cardio havoc.\n2. Look beyond your cholesterol profile – key biomarkers for your heart health also include: cardio C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation), serum homocysteine (an amino acid involved in vascular health), and lipid particle size (the “size” of your good and bad cholesterol is important.) Be sure to pay attention to your triglycerides as these blood fats are an independent cardiovascular risk factor.\n3. Assess your “middle weight” – your waist measurement and your waist to hip ratio indicate whether you are carrying too much belly fat and a thick waist increases your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. A simple tape measure is a heart smart tool, so for the gals, aim for a waist measurement under 35 inches or a waist to hip ratio less than .8 and for the guys, aim for a belt that buckles under 40” and a waist to hip ratio less than .9-1,0.\n4. Dance the night or day away – or zumba, walk, bike, swim – any aerobic activity that keeps your body moving for at least 30 minutes every day is “a heartfelt message in motion” to your cardiovascular system.\n5. Eat to your heart’s content…whether you follow the DASH diet, Portfolio Plan, Ornish program, Mediterranean Diet or Sinatra Solution, one thing is for sure… It’s important to bathe the heart in naturally nutrient rich substances including phytosterols, polyphenols, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. MyFoodMyHealth recipes are packed with these heart smart goodies. Here’s our “delicious dozen” to keep your heart happy: avocadoes, berries, celery, flaxseed, dark greens (kale, Swiss chard, bok choy, collards etc), legumes (lentils, beans and whole soy foods), olive oil (extra-virgin of course), nuts, salmon, sardines, seeds and whole grains (barley, oats, quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth).\nTry a heart-healthy recipe for Armenian Red Lentil Soup from our heart loving kitchen to yours.\nWhen you make food choices nutrient density is an important concept to follow. What does this mean? Nutrient density simply refers to the amount of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and fiber found in a portion of food relative to its calories. An excellent nutrient-dense food has a high nutrient to calorie ratio.\nFoods with a high nutrient density are essential for a strong immune system, detoxification and cellular repair. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and poultry are all nutrient-dense foods that pack plenty of nutrients for the calorie. Some of our favorite nutrient-dense foods include kale, watercress, bok choy, spinach, blue berries, strawberries, plums, all beans, brazil nuts, walnuts and seeds such as flax, sunflower and sesame.\nWhen shopping, make sure to stock your grocery list with nutrient-dense foods. The best place to find nutrient-dense foods at the grocery store is along the outer edges of the store where the fresh produce, fresh lean meats, low-fat dairy, and fresh bakery goods are located. Avoid the inner aisles with the processed and pre-packed foods. These foods are often loaded with calories but do not have much nutritional value.\nIn the video How to Choose Your Food, MyFoodMyHealth's expert on food, Annemarie Colbin, Ph. D., talks about her philosophy on whole, fresh, natural, local and real food and teaches you how to choose food that tastes great and is good for you.

Quality improvement, process improvement, physician leadership development, patient safety, physician professionalism.\nPURPOSE: Physician disrespectful behavior affects quality of care, patient safety, and collaborative clinical team function. Evidence defining the demographics, ethnography, and epidemiology of disrespectful behavior is lacking.METHOD: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of reports of disrespectful physician behavior at Stanford Hospital and Clinics from March 2011 through February 2015. Events were stratified by role, gender, specialty, and location in the hospital or clinics where the event occurred. Event rate ratios were estimated using a multivariable negative binomial regression model. Correlation of rates of faculty and trainees in the same specialty were assessed.RESULTS: One-hundred-ninety-nine events concerned faculty; 160 concerned trainees. Events were concentrated among a small number of physicians in both groups. The rates of faculty and trainee events within the same specialty were highly correlated (Spearman's rho: 0.90; P < .001). Male physicians had an adjusted event rate 1.86 (95% CI = 1.33 - 2.60; P < .001) times that of females. Procedural physicians were 3.67 times (95% CI = 2.63 - 5.13; P < .001) more likely to have a disrespectful behavior event than non-procedural physicians when adjusting for other covariates. Most common location for faculty was the operating rooms (69 events, 34%); for trainees, the medical/surgical units (43 events, 27%).CONCLUSIONS: Patterns of physician disrespectful behavior differed by role, gender, specialty, and location. Rates among faculty and trainees of the same specialty were highly correlated. These patterns can be used to create more focused education and training for specific physician groups and individualized remediation interventions.\nBecause of modern challenges in quality, safety, patient centeredness, and cost, health care is evolving to adopt leadership practices of highly effective organizations. Traditional physician training includes little focus on developing leadership skills, which necessitates further training to achieve the potential of collaborative management.The aim of this study was to design a leadership program using established models for continuing medical education and to assess its impact on participants' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and performance.The program, delivered over 9 months, addressed leadership topics and was designed around a framework based on how physicians learn new clinical skills, using multiple experiential learning methods, including a leadership active learning project. The program was evaluated using Kirkpatrick's assessment levels: reaction to the program, learning, changes in behavior, and results. Four cohorts are evaluated (2008-2011).Reaction: The program was rated highly by participants (mean = 4.5 of 5). Learning: Significant improvements were reported in knowledge, skills, and attitudes surrounding leadership competencies. Behavior: The majority (80%-100%) of participants reported plans to use learned leadership skills in their work. Improved team leadership behaviors were shown by increased engagement of project team members.All participants completed a team project during the program, adding value to the institution.Results support the hypothesis that learning approaches known to be effective for other types of physician education are successful when applied to leadership development training. Across all four assessment levels, the program was effective in improving leadership competencies essential to meeting the complex needs of the changing health care system.Developing in-house programs that fit the framework established for continuing medical education can increase physician leadership competencies and add value to health care institutions. Active learning projects provide opportunities to practice leadership skills addressing real word problems.\nPurpose Physician leadership programs serve to develop individual capabilities and to affect organizational outcomes. Evaluations of such programs often focus solely on short-term increases in individual capabilities. The purpose of this paper is to assess long-term individual and organizational outcomes of the Stanford Leadership Development Program. Design/methodology/approach There are three data sources for this mixed-methods study: a follow-up survey in 2013-2014 of program participants ( n=131) and matched (control) non-participants ( n=82) from the 2006 to 2011 program years; promotion and retention data; and qualitative in-person interview data. The authors analyzed survey data across leadership knowledge, skills, and attitudes as well as leadership titles held, following program participation using Pearson's χ2 test of independence. Using logistic regression, the authors analyzed promotion and retention among participants and non-participants. Finally, the authors applied both a grounded theory approach and qualitative content analysis to analyze interview data. Findings Program participants rated higher than non-participants across 25 of 30 items measuring leadership knowledge, skills, and attitudes, and were more likely to hold regional/national leadership titles and to have gained in leadership since program participation. Asian program participants were significantly more likely than Asian non-participants to have been promoted, and women participants were less likely to have left the institution than non-participants. Finally, qualitative interviews revealed the long-term impact of leadership learning and networking, as well as the enduring, sustained impact on the organization of projects undertaken during the program. Originality/value This study is unique in its long-term and comprehensive mixed-methods nature of evaluation to assess individual and organizational impact of a physician leadership program.\nThe aim of the study was to examine the impact of a surgical comanagement (SCM) hospitalist program on patient outcomes at an academic institution.Prior studies may have underestimated the impact of SCM due to methodological shortcomings.This is a retrospective study utilizing a propensity score-weighted intervention (n = 16,930) and control group (n = 3695). Patients were admitted between January 2009 to July 2012 (pre-SCM) and September 2012 to September 2013 (post-SCM) to Orthopedic or Neurosurgery at our institution. Using propensity score methods, linear regression, and a difference-in-difference approach, we estimated changes in outcomes between pre and post periods, while adjusting for confounding patient characteristics.The SCM intervention was associated with a significant differential decrease in the proportion of patients with at least 1 medical complication [odds ratio (OR) 0.86; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.74-0.96; P = 0.008), the proportion of patients with length of stay at least 5 days (OR 0.75; 95% CI, 0.67-0.84; P < 0.001), 30-day readmission rate for medical cause (OR 0.67; 95% CI, 0.52-0.81; P < 0.001), and the proportion of patients with at least 2 medical consultants (OR 0.55; 95% CI, 0.49-0.63; P < 0.001). There was no significant change in patient satisfaction (OR 1.08; 95% CI, 0.87-1.33; P = 0.507). We estimated average savings of $2642 to $4303 per patient in the post-SCM group. The overall provider satisfaction with SCM was 88.3%.The SCM intervention reduces medical complications, length of stay, 30-day readmissions, number of consultants, and cost of care.\nA growing body of evidence suggests that patient (including family) feedback can provide compelling opportunities for developing risk management and quality improvement strategies, as well as improving customer satisfaction. The Patient Representative Department (PRD) at Stanford Health Care (SHC) (Stanford, California) created a streamlined patient complaint capture and resolution process to improve the capture of patient complaints and grievances from multiple parts of the organization and manage them in a centralized database.In March 2008 the PRD rolled out a data management system for tracking patient complaints and generating reports to SHC leadership, and SHC needed to modify and address its data input procedures. A reevaluation of the overall work flow showed it to be complex, with over-lapping and redundant steps, and to lack standard processes and actions. Best-practice changes were implemented: (1) leadership engagement, (2) increased capture of complaints, (3) centralized data and reporting, (4) improved average response times to patient grievances and complaints, and (5) improved service recovery. Standard work flows were created for each category of complaint linked to specific actions.Complaints captured increased from 20 to 270 per month. Links to a specific physician rose from 16%-36% to more than 80%. In addition, 68% of high-complaint physicians improved. With improved work flows, responses to patients expressing concerns met a requirement of less than seven days.Standardized work flows for managing complaints and grievances, centralized data management and clear leadership accountability can improve responsiveness to patients, capture incidents more consistently, and meet regulatory and accreditation requirements.\nAs complexity of care of hospitalized patients has increased, the need for communication and collaboration among members of the team caring for the patient has become increasingly important. This often takes the form of a nurse's need to contact a patient's physician to discuss some aspect of care and modify treatment plans. Errors in communication delay care and can pose risk to patients. This report describes the successful implementation of a standardized team-based paging system at an academic center. Results showed a substantial improvement in nurses' perceptions of knowing how to contact the correct physician when discussion of the patient's care is needed. This improvement was found across multiple medical and surgical specialties and was particularly effective for services with the greatest communication problems.\nEvidence-based performance measures, known as core measures, have been established by The Joint Commission to improve the quality of care for patient populations, such as those with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure, and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), as well as to improve the quality of surgical care--the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) measures. Hospital administrators have traditionally held academic and community physicians and hospital clinicians accountable for integrating the core measures into daily practice. Such efforts have often led to suboptimal results because of the belief that the "organization" (macrosystem) is the appropriate level at which to work to improve quality. Stanford Hospital and Clinics (Stanford, California) has instead held leaders of clinical microsystems--the clinical units where care is provided--accountable to improve performance on the core measures. The strategic approaches taken for this initiative include engagement of the hospital's board of directors; clear assignment of accountability among interdisciplinary care teams to drive the change; implementation of a unit-based medical director program; transparency of core measure performance at the microsystem, mesosystem, and macrosystem levels; and concurrent monitoring with rapid feedback of results.In 2007, the first year of this initiative, the 24-metric composite compliance score for all four core measures increased from 64% to 82%. The composite score was sustained at a minimum of 90% during 2009 and Quarter 1 of 2010.Holding clinical microsystems accountable for improving unit performance proved beneficial to macrosystem performance of the Joint Commission core measures.\nTo develop a new instrument for judging the appropriateness of three key services (new prescription, diagnostic test, and referral) as delivered in primary care outpatient visits.Candidate items were generated by a seven-member expert panel, using a five-step nominal technique, for each of three service categories in primary care: new prescriptions, diagnostic tests, and referrals. Expert panelists and a convenience sample of 95 community-based primary care physicians ranked items for (i) importance and (ii) feasibility of ascertaining from a typical office chart record. Resulting items were used to construct a measure of appropriateness using principals of structured implicit review. Two physician reviewers used this measure to judge the appropriateness of 421 services from 160 outpatient visits.Primary care practices in a staff model health maintenance organization and a large preferred provider network.Inter-rater agreement was measured using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and kappa statistic.For overall appropriateness, the ICC and kappa were 0.52 and 0.44 for new medication, 0.35 and 0.32 for diagnostic test, and 0.40 and 0.41 for referral, respectively. Only 3% of services were judged to be inappropriate by either reviewer. The proportion of services judged to be less than definitely appropriate by one or both reviewers was 56% for new medication, 31% for diagnostic test, and 22% for referral.This new measure of appropriateness of primary care services has fair inter-rater agreement for new medications and referrals, similar to appropriateness measures of other general services, but poor agreement for diagnostic tests. It may be useful as a tool to assess the appropriateness of common primary care services in studies of health care quality, but is not suitable for evaluating performance of individual physicians.\nA Joint Planning Committee Report was issued in 1974 exploring how Stanford University might itself provide primary care to students, faculty, employees and their dependents at low cost. The report called for the creation of a health maintenance organization owned by its subscribers in affiliation with Stanford Medical Center. However, because the report was dismissed by the dean of the School of Medicine as being unworkable, the Midpeninsula Health Service (MHS) began operating as an unaffiliated, nonprofit health plan in downtown Palo Alto in January 1976. The MHS's planning, early operation, move to the Stanford campus, financial viability and ultimate fate are examined as an example of action research in health care.Source documents were examined by the authors, a founding MHS board member and its two inaugural medical directors, in compiling a 30-year organizational history.The MHS was remarkably prescient in its early use of small primary care groups that included midlevel practitioners, the principles of evidence-based medicine, the participation of patients in self-care activities, and a commitment to the continuous monitoring and improvement of quality. Imputed annualized costs of care were 30% lower than contemporary fee-for-service care and 20% lower than that of Kaiser, with no discernible difference in health outcomes.Action research methods can be useful in identifying and testing potential solutions to vexing problems in health care delivery.\nMeasuring and improving the quality of care while curtailing costs are essential objectives in capitated care. As patient care moves from the hospital to outpatient settings, quality management resources must be shifted to ambulatory care process improvement. The Quality Improvement and Efficiency Financial Incentives Program at Stanford University Medical Center was adopted to increase quality improvement efforts and contain costs. THE INCENTIVE PROGRAM: Each department's budget for care of capitated patients was reduced by 5% from the previous year. Return of a reserve fund (10% of payments for specialty care) required completion of substantive quality improvement projects and containing costs. Successful departments were also eligible for bonus funds. Implementation strategies included endorsement by clinical leaders, physician education, use of administrative data to identify project topics and support measurement of quality and cost variables, project templates and time lines, and the availability of clinical quality managers with special expertise in clinical process improvement.Eight of 13 clinical departments developed and implemented 19 ambulatory quality improvement projects to varying degrees. Success in the program was roughly correlated with the potential impact of the incentive on revenues and the status of the lead person selected by the department to spearhead their efforts. Only 5 departments achieved their cost containment goals.Financial incentives are one method of encouraging physicians to use clinical process improvement methods. Endorsement by clinical leaders and selection of realistic beginning projects enhance chances for success. The capitated population has attributes that make it an attractive focus for initial quality improvement efforts.\nThe demand for teachers of family practice is being met in part by recent residency graduates. The background of these individuals would not predict that they would become teachers, and a major role adaptation is required of them. Yet a number of factors lead them to elect to become faculty members. They possess several qualities different from faculty members coming from practice backgrounds and are, therefore, able to make unique contributions. A combination of recent graduates and practice-experienced faculty members may represent the ideal mix for the further development of academic family practice.\nProviding exposure for family practice residence to all aspects of community medicine is a common goal of training programs. The Antelope Valley Hospital Medical Center Family Practice Program has initiated an innovative project which involves residents serving as team physicians for local college athletic teams. This provides a valuable opportunity for residents to learn skills they can be expected to need in their future practice. The team physician's role offers educational potential for family practice residents through experience with acute orthopedic problems as well as the preventive and psychological aspects of sports medicine. This role also serves as an example of physician responsibility for health-related activities in the acommunity.\nPROTEIN BINDING OF CALCIUM AND STRONTIUM IN GUINEA PIG MATERNAL AND FETAL BLOOD PLASMA AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY Twardock, A.

WorldNetDaily columnist Erik Rush writes today that President Obama is to blame for rising persecution of Christians in Iraq — which started following the 2003 U.S. invasion of the country — and traces it all back to Obama’s real father: Malcolm X.\nWhile many conservatives have speculated that President Obama’s father was actually labor activist Frank Marshall Davis, others such as Pamela Geller believe that the president’s father was Malcolm X.\nConsidering the president’s Islamist and Marxist proclivities and the philosophical bent of his closest collaborators, it ought not be too much of a surprise that Obama’s sympathy index for these persecuted Christians is in the negative digits. Still, his lack of inclination to even pretend that these atrocities are unacceptable not only adds insult to injury, but indicates something more than a mere lack of sympathy.\nIt indicates derision and perhaps even hatred of Christians.\nIn his pre-teens – once again, according to the narrative – Obama headed to Hawaii and fell under the care of his communist grandparents. He was also mentored by iconic communist Frank Marshall Davis (whom some contend is his real father, but we won’t go there just yet). Even still, during this period, Obama become more intimately acquainted with Marxism rather than Islam.\nFrom there it was on to a posh high school in Hawaii, then supposedly to college back on the mainland, where the narrative becomes infinitely more sketchy.\nSome have speculated that Obama’s real father may have been the slain black civil rights leader Malcolm X, who embraced Sunni Islam after his pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964 and being expelled from the Nation of Islam. Apart from the uncanny likeness of the two men, there are those who claim that ample evidence exists to support this theory. One former intelligence operative has come forward, asserting that DNA evidence exists excluding Barack Obama Sr. as the president’s father. None of these parties has been able to produce incontrovertible evidence, however.\nAll things considered, a Malcolm X paternity certainly would explain the president having also embraced Sunni Islam, which he is dedicatedly working to advance. It might also explain his poorly concealed anti-Christian bias, as well as his administration’s appalling treatment of Israel.\nTragically, the wholesale persecution of Christians in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere in the Muslim world is likely to continue for some time, as are the ongoing efforts of radicals and Islamists in America – also aided by the Obama administration – to disenfranchise Christians here. There are many fronts upon which the latter is occurring, although the chief principals of these efforts are a distinct minority among us.\nWhile the majority of Americans would find themselves unequivocally at odds with Obama’s ultimate goals, arresting the advancement of his agenda will probably fall to another distinct minority among us – those who, like our nation’s founders, understand and love liberty, and who are willing to stand alone if necessary and articulate hard truths.

Despite dramatic economic gains, Africa still lags behind other regions in certain economic indicators—perhaps nowhere more so than in the level of investment in science, technology, and innovation (STI). In this policy brief, Southern Voices Network Scholar Ayodotun Bobadoye discusses the importance of STI on the continent and recommends a coordinated new approach, embodied in the AU's STISA-2024 plan, to kickstart Africa's knowledge economy and capture the unrealized STI potential of African women.\nThis is Policy Brief No. 1 of The Southern Voices Network publication series.\nFor more in-depth analysis, please see below for Research Paper No. 7 of The Southern Voices Network publication series.

Gymnastics with Cricket owner Kristen Gogerty had her heart set on finding a Naples beach bungalow fixer-upper in the mid-$300K range.\nGymnastics with Cricket owner Kristen Gogerty, who goes by the nickname “Cricket,” had her heart set on finding a beach bungalow fixer-upper in the mid-$300,000 range — a rarity in the Naples area.\nHelping Gogerty to find her dream home was Naples Realtor Dovile Collins, of Caine Premiere Properties. This will be Collins' first appearance on the show but the fifth episode "House Hunters" has aired based in Naples.\nEach episode of "House Hunters" has a dilemma — for Collins, it was finding something in Gogerty’s budget near the water.\n“For this kind of a budget, to find a single-family home near the water is difficult,” Collins said.\nGogerty’s best friend, Jennifer Fox, who works as a parks manager for Naples, joined her in the show to be her voice of reason and help her find the perfect home in her budget.\nBut Fox didn’t see eye-to-eye with all of Gogerty’s visions.\nAlthough Gogerty couldn't say much about the homes she visits on the show, she wanted an authentic Naples home.\nThe show was filmed six months ago over a span of five days, but Gogerty said she has yet to see the episode.\n"It was so much fun," she said. "I think I made a fool of myself on national television, but I hope to make people laugh."\nGogerty will see the episode for the first time Thursday night with family and friends at a watch party at Bokamper’s Sports Bar and Grill in North Naples.

The term “ephemeral” is a most notoriously negative term in reference to marketing (unless of course you’re describing Snapchat.) Trending or being a fad is NOT the goal you want with your marketing. The goal should be timeless content. Timeless content is key, or in the words of DJ Khaled “The King of Fads,” timelessness is the key to success.\nContent that can withstand the test of time, besides the show Friends, is one of the most difficult things to achieve. However, with the right tools, knowledge, and strategy it can be done. Think of timeless content this way: content that drives traffic forever. Sounds great right?\nWith so much content overflowing our feeds, inboxes, and brain space, most of the content we have access to is relevant only momentarily or for a short time, thus ephemeral. However, there is certain content that can drive traffic to your site continuously. Think about subjects in school, these subjects remain current forever. Although more information is added on a continual basis, the basic concepts stay the same. When you’re producing your content, think about things that people will always want to know. Although not all content you produce lasts forever, if you have some timeless content, you’re good to go.\nAnother great way to create timeless content, answer the important questions. What are constant questions within your industry or certain areas that always need reinforcement? Consider creating content based on those types of needs and always circle back to keep the content alive and well.

Home >Speed Up >How to speed up WordPress website from the non-technical perspective?\nWe will show you how to speed up WordPress website from the user perspective, using some of the simple, yet efficient techniques and tools, so-called “quick-wins”.\nThe stuff that speeds up (or slows down) a web site is truly a random pile of tweaks, tips and changes. It’s a ton of little things that add up to enormous impact for visitors and search engines alike.\nYou will see which free web tool to use to identify the biggest speed problems on your site, and how to remove them.\nWe will briefly introduce you to Swift Performance Premium plugin (speed up “Swiss Army knife”) which you can use to perform most of your site improvements in the shortest time possible.\nWhy page speed really matters?\nPage speed is a measurement of how the content of a site’s page loads.\nA faster site (which means faster-loading pages) provides a better user experience.\nLower page load times mean that less visitors are visiting more than one page.\nSites with average page load times of 2 seconds get 8.9 page views on average, while those with 7 second page load times get just 3.7 page views on average.\nContent sharing and likes improve—if your visitors actually see your site’s content.\nPages that load slower than 2-3 seconds make visitors impatient.\nThe better the user experience, the more you sell. Page speed impacts the very core of the user experience and conversions.\nIf it takes too long for your website to load when someone clicks on your ad, they’re more likely to give up and leave your website.\nPoor website speed experience really can impact your customers’ perception of and loyalty to your brand.\nThe client, which is usually the web browser, asks the server for content.\nWhen the server delivers its response, the browser has to ‘draw’ it all.\nIf a web page is poorly coded or structured, the browser has a hard time doing that rendering and slows down.\nThe server gets the request from the “client”/web browser and delivers a reply.\nIt has to build all of the pages on the site, process various forms, manage leads and do all the other “dirty” work.\nIf the server is slow, than everything’s slow. If you speed server up, everything runs faster. However, tweaking server performance requires certain expertise.\nThe “pipe” (or bandwidth) delivers the output that server creates.\nOnce the web server replies to a browser request, the response goes through the “pipe”. The more you put into the pipe, the slower it goes.\nHow fast is fast enough for your pages?\nacceptable site’s speed for Desktop is between 2-3 sec and preferable speed is about 1 sec (nearly half of web users nowadays expect a site to load in 2 seconds or less).\nacceptable site’s speed for Mobile is between 4-5 sec.\n75% mobile users will abandon if takes more than 5 seconds to load.\nsecond delay in page response can result in a 7% reduction in conversions.\nHow do you measure the page speed?\nPage speed optimization can be difficult, but there are free online tools that make our lives easier – they “advise” us what to do, in order to improve the speed of site’s page.\nQuick page speed test. Super simple. Great for impressing (or depressing) clients.\nYou get the basic summary data.\nWith Pingdom, you have an option to test the page speed on 4 different locations. Results are all different for each location, which shows that server geo location is important.\nOptimization details are listed/ordered by importance and rated on a scale from 0-100. If you follow the tasks and optimize the ones that don’t have a 100% score, you’ll be able to speed up WordPress site relatively quickly.\nIt keeps track of the history of the tests.\nAnother quality page speed tester, with a lot more features than the previous tools, for more advanced users.\nIt has more locations to choose from, an internet speed can be selected, you can enable/disable a few browser options and you can test specific devices.\nIt does ‘film strips’ showing page render, and lets you ‘race’ with other sites.\nEvery WebPageTest run is actually 3 runs and displays a detailed waterfall report for each run.\nIt provides first and repeat load monitoring so you can see how well your browser caching is performing.\nIt gives the all-important measurements of when the page starts to become useful to the visitor.\nMeasures page load time and displays it in the Chrome browser toolbar.\nit doesn’t accurately measure your site’s speed when it comes to how your visitors perceive it around the globe.\nit doesn’t provide any speed result, instead it throws you a list of things you should improve. On top of that throws you a score without giving sources of results.\nits score isn’t based on the actual speeds of the site but on the “things Google believes you should be optimizing”.\nIf your visitors get a fast site that’s easy to use, then you did your part of the story.\nHow can you improve the page speed?\nPrice – choosing the cheapest hosting usually isn’t a good idea. You know how the saying goes: “you get what you pay for”. If you want your site to grow and (probably) generate income, you must invest in server power to guarantee fast loading pages and 100% uptime.\nLimitations/tech specs – when you’re running an e-commerce site or a site rich in content and multimedia, you must sign up for a hosting plan with enough RAM, disk space and processing power to meet your business needs.\nSupport – hosting with 24/7 support is your target. If your site unexpectedly goes down – you want to be able to talk to someone to sort out the issue, day or night.\nReviews – check what real people say about specific hosting. Testimonials help you figure out if a hosting service is really as reliable as the company advertises. When you want to check some provider, go to ReviewSignal – read how real users perceive their service.\nWe recommend SiteGround shared hosting: their servers with SSD disks are very fast, highly secured, with advanced integrated services (backup, advanced caching, staging, CloudFlare CDN, etc.), especially in the GoGeek shared hosting package we currently use.\nAs much as we would like to think that all themes are created equal, the real truth is they are not. Many themes have bloated code with more functionalities than you’ll ever use.\nMany WordPress themes are overkill. Your goal should be to choose a lean and lightweight theme that provides the design required for your website and basic functionalities needed.\nBefore installing a new theme on your WordPress website, test the theme’s demo using one of the above-mentioned on-line speed tools. The results will provide insight into how well-coded the theme is.\nThemes we recommend and use: X Theme and X Theme Pro.\nEvaluate potential plugins before you install them on your website. With WP Speedster free tool you can analyze the effects of hundreds of plugins on site performance and can help you decide which ones are a no-go.\nTest your website. Before installing a new plugin, test your website by using an on-line speed analysis tool. After plugin’s installation test the website again. If you notice website slowed down, find an alternative – more lightweight plugin.\nCarefully choose your plugins. Every time a plugin is added to your website more server requests are required to allow them to function properly on the front end of your website. Try to use one plugin that performs multiple functions (such as Swift Performance plugin) rather than using several separate plugins. Also, make sure you do not use plugins that are outdated, as they present security risks and can cause slowdown problems on your website.\nUse a plugin Query Monitor: it is a debugging plugin for people with more advanced knowledge/experience.\nDoes plugin perform complex operations?\nDoes plugin load many scripts?\nDoes plugin increase the number of database queries for all page requests?\nDoes plugin perform requests to external providers?\nIf the majority of answers to above questions is YES, you should really avoid such plugins and find alternative/lightweight plugins.\nSimple things like images compression can have a huge impact on site performance because they are eating up bandwidth so that the server can’t upload and the client can’t download quickly enough. These are among the easiest speed up optimization “quick wins”.\nWhen you create or delete posts, delete comments, change WordPress options, install/uninstall plugins or themes, your database could get bloated with “leftovers” that need to be cleaned regularly.\nCleaning the database on a regular basis rids you of drafts, spam comments, leftover tables, and so on. It’s also recommended you delete unused images, themes, or plugins and fix broken links. Otherwise, your site can seem sluggish.\nAn alternative is WP-Optimize: an effective tool for automatically automatically cleans your WordPress database so that it runs at maximum efficiency.\nPlugins Garbage Collector: scans your WordPress database and shows the tables beyond of core WordPress installation.\nKeeping WordPress, themes, and plugins up to date gives you access to the latest features and also lets you take advantage of possible speed improvements.\nYou must keep your WordPress site, theme and plugins updated to the latest versions if you don’t want your site to became slow, unreliable and vulnerable to security threats.\nCaching your site temporarily stores copies of web content to satisfy user requests from the cache database. Caching is really effective to speed up your WordPress site.\nSwift Performance (relatively new plugin for website optimization).\nWP Rocket (the most popular Premium caching plugin).\nquick-win optimization is to upgrade the PHP version to 7.x (which every decent hosting should offer nowadays). PHP 7.x version is, in comparison to older PHP versions, a great speed and performance improvement. It’s rather easy to switch to it, so we recommend you to take advantage of it.\nRegularly test your website pages using speed test tools to monitor your site’s speed at different times. We recommend: Pingdom & Page load time.\nInvest in a quality hosting provider that can handle your website’s traffic.\nPick an optimized theme with only the functions you need.\nWe recommend: X Theme & X Theme Pro.\nCarefully choose plugins you use to reduce server strain.\nClear out your database of unnecessary data dragging your site down.\nResize, crop, and compress images that you upload to your website.\nWe recommend: Imagify Image Optimizer.\nUpdate your plugins, theme and WordPress.\nAlways cache & speed up optimize your website.\nwebsites are created for people, your potential clients.\nyou must have a good balance between content, design, user experience and page speed.\ndon’t be obsessed about page speed (and especially with page speed scores!).\n… and yes, speed matters, a lot!\nMore useful info/curated posts on Speed Up topic you can find in our Speed Up Knowledge base.\nWordPress Speed Up group on Facebook.\nThanks for the information. There are a lot of helpful tips which I’m going to try out.\nI am glad you found it useful and in case of any questions – you can ask us here or even better in our specialized Speed Up group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wordpressspeedup/.\ngreat guide, i use siteground and wprocket plugin, but still my TTFB is more than 1sec. I even tried swift performance plugin but no change.. how to fix it?\nGreat article! My website it hosted with Siteground but it’s on my previous web developer’s hosting account which is part of a larger Siteground account. Does this sound okay or are not all of Siteground’s plans shared hosting?\nThx! You are right that not all of Siteground’s plans are shared hosting.\nDo you recommend me checking if it is shared? If it isn’t do I need to change it to help increase speed?\nIf your current hosting plan satisfies your business needs – you are ok.\nAlso my theme is ‘x child theme’. Is that different from the theme you suggested and is it okay speed wise? Thanks in advance!\nWe use X Theme and sometimes its Child theme and for us it is enough well speed optimized.

Adding a conservatory on to your property is something fantastic that you can do for your whole family, and for yourself.\nIt is a way of adding some additional room to your property, giving everyone a little more breathing space, and particularly important if there are young or teenage children in the home! There are many benefits to having a conservatory, some you may know about and some you possibly won't have even considered.\nAdding additional space to your property - A conservatory is a fantastic way to add some extra space to your property without having to throw anything out or ask any of your children to leave! Whether you use your room as a living room, a dining room or even just a family room this is a wonderful place where you can all relax together. An extension will generally be a lot more expensive, so this is a fantastic way to have some more space without blowing the budget.\nSomewhere to spend time together - This is particularly relevant if you have your new conservatory as a living room, a dining room or a family room. Your whole family will be able to get together here, play games, eat meals together at the table, dance, sing and just generally have a real large space that can be filled with fun. A conservatory makes a fantastic space for children, who will love being able to play with their toys - particularly in the gorgeous daylight that you have flooding in.\nInsulating your home in the winter time - A conservatory will be, generally, built on the back of your home, and will be a fantastic way to insulate your walls and keep the back of your home warmer during the coldest months. This will work as an extra barrier between your home and the elements, and is a great way to save some money on your energy bills.\nA suntrap - During the summer months you will be able to enjoy the garden and the sun from your conservatory. This is particularly handy if you are having a family gathering or a barbeque, as you can keep the guests out in the garden and have somewhere else to retire to should it become chilly - or if the typical British wet weather shows up.\nAdding value to your property - In addition to generally being a fantastic investment for the whole family, a conservatory is a brilliant way to add some extra value on to your home. It can be advertised to a prospective purchaser as an additional reception room, as well as being a fantastic way to showcase your wonderful gardening skills - and your property's unique appeal.\nOverall, there are many fantastic benefits for the whole family from having a conservatory. It is a fantastic way of adding some extra space without having to think about selling your family home and all the upheaval that goes with it.

NORTH MANCHESTER, IND. – Three Manchester University players wound up in double figures Wednesday, Nov. 18, helping send the Spartans past Olivet College of Michigan 84-75.\nSenior guard Brady Dolezal (Tipton, Ind.) fired in 22 points, which included an impressive 13-of-19 effort from the free throw line; freshman guard Adrian Johnson (Indianapolis, Ind.) continued a strong first week in a Black and Gold uniform tallying 17 points to go with a team-high five steals; and sophomore forward/center Enis Becirevic (Fort Wayne, Ind.) came off the bench to total 15 points. MU, improving to 1-1, held a 43-34 edge on the glass, too, with junior guard Blake Brouwer (Elkhart, Ind.) grabbing 12 rebounds to add to a line that included seven points and three blocked shots.\nThe hosts, winning the program's 10th consecutive home-opening game, brought the crowd inside Stauffer-Wolfe Arena to its feet early and often. After trailing 8-4 in the opening moments, an 8-0 run gave the Spartans a lead they would relinquish just once. The advantage expanded to as much as 10 late in the first half before the Comets (0-3) rallied back and trimmed the margin to four at the break (41-37). Olivet continued to battle in the opening portion of the second half, eventually holding a 66-65 edge with 9:36 to play before Manchester University went on an 11-2 run and didn't look back.\nMU returns to action Saturday, Nov. 21, continuing a three-game home stand. Indiana University – Northwest comes to North Manchester for a 5 p.m. tipoff.\nNOTES: Dolezal recorded his ninth 20-point-plus career effort. It was the second in his last three games dating back to the end of 2014-15 … Brouwer's 12 boards were a personal single-game high and the second time he's grabbed 10-or-more … The 28-of-40 free throw total for the Black and Gold marked the most made and attempted charity shots in a game since the 2011-12 campaign.

WASHINGTON – "Today we are proud to announce that Damian Goddard has joined NOM's Marriage Anti-Defamation Alliance (MADA), to speak on behalf of the rights of decent, loving, law-abiding citizens to speak, to write, to donate, to organize and to act to defend marriage," stated Brian Brown, president of NOM, announcing a new spokesperson for the group whose goal is to create a supportive community for those who have been threatened for standing for marriage.\nDamian Goddard, a former sportscaster for the Canadian network Rogers Sportsnet, lost his job after tweeting his support of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. After a career of nearly 20 years spanning both radio and television sports broadcasting, and at the time one of the leading anchors on Sportsnet, Goddard was immediately fired for voicing his view on marriage.\n"I expected that they would try to force me to recant, write an apology, would threaten a suspension, or give me a 'slap on the wrist' of some sort. Instead, just seconds into our meeting, I was told I was out of a job." explains Goddard. "We cannot stay silent on this, we have hope and a message and we cannot just sit back and be silent. Marriage is a unique institution and we must become involved."\nNow Goddard has taken on a new role, as spokesman for MADA, giving a voice to others who have faced pressure to remain silent on the marriage issue. "In the sports world, no matter the sport, if you sit back and relax and you are going to lose. The National Organization for Marriage and MADA are giving people the voice they need to fight back, and, while I wish I had not been fired from my former job, I am thrilled to be able to be a part of this effort," said Goddard.\nSee Damian Goddard tell his story in his own words here.\nThis entry was written by NOM Staff, posted on at 2:41 pm, filed under MarriageADA, Press Releases.

Jammu: Movement across the International Border (IB) indicates that Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) has come out with a fresh move to push the infiltrators to the Indian side for unleashing more terror in the Valley. This cunning move by the ISI came to light after the observations made by different intelligence agencies in the past few days, especially at the IB. Highly placed sources said now the terrorists, as per the new move, were opening gunfire from across the border to give a slip to the Indian security forces. Earlier, before the November 2003 announcement of ceasefire, Pak rangers used to trade gunfire with Indian forces to give cover to the infiltrators to sneak into India. However, to avoid criticism from the international community, the ISI is now imparting special training to the terrorists how to tackle with the Indian troops at the border while crossing over the sources said. They added that the new modus operandi of the terrorists now was that a group of armed terrorists would open fire from one side across the border to ensure the concentration of Indian troops towards that side, and while there would be exchange of fire, a small group of two to three armed terrorists waiting on the other side would attempt to cross over through the fenced border. The pointer to this fact is the recent exchange of fire between armed terrorists across the border and Indian troops in border village Manguchak in Kathua district late Monday night. However, the attempt was foiled and the terrorists had to crawl back due to the retaliatory fire. Later, on late Wednesday night, a similar attempt was repeated by the terrorists from Thakurpura border belt in Pakistan - area falls between Border Out Posts Katao and Chack Dulma in Hiranagar sector - which, too, was foiled by the Indian security forces, said the sources. They added that what was worrying the forces was the 'silence' of Pak rangers, even after witnessing the fire from across the border. When contacted, Border Security Force (BSF) officers confirmed that a suspicious movement was sighted across the border and about 20-30 rounds were also fired simultaneously by the naka party at Chak Dulma and Katao BOPs, but strictly maintained that there was no infiltration. Denying that any terrorist has managed to sneak into the Indian side, a BSF officer said the naka parties even fired para- bombs to light the border area to check infiltration.

Find Top Gold Coast Sports Chiropractors Near Me.\nChiropractors can assist with frequent sports injuries It is typically best to go to a chiropractor first prior to visiting a massage therapist, especially if you feel like you experience an injury forming. Our staff of chiropractors may also recommend massage in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments as a piece of a general treatment strategy.\nFirstly, there’s treatment for symptoms. If all these therapies aren’t doing the trick, you might need to think about back surgery. Manipulative therapy denotes the procedure for manually re-aligning the musculoskeletal structure.\nMassage therapy is quite an important type of healing, but it doesn’t have the exact same broad reach of practice that chiropractic does. What you might find after undergoing massage therapy is how it actually will help to place your skeleton into the right alignment.\nAn answer to ensuring appropriate sleep, and avoiding back pain, is the usage of a suitable mattress. Taking corrective measures about the way somebody’s sleeps can aid in avoiding back pain on the job.\nA standard complaint among people at work is recurring back pain. In the realm of massage, it might actually trigger concern to the Massage Therapist. A person intent on a general healthier life, and who desires to avoid back pain on the job, should take part in a standard exercise or physical fitness routine. Now think about an individual, who’s either single or within a non affectionate `non touching’ relationship.\nFor those who have a condition that may require attention, see your chiropractor they’ll be able to assist you or steer you in the direction of somebody who can assist you.\nThe spine is trustworthy for two significant functions. The spine, which is ordinarily called the backbone, is a significant portion of the human skeletal system. Work with the scar as frequently as you consider it.

The first International Organization for Standardization (ISO) tank containers were manufactured in the late 1960s, with the ISOTANK name being registered by Andrews of Aintree Ltd, Liverpool, UK in 1969. These were also the first tanks to gain design approvals for international transport by Lloyds Register and the UK Department of Transport.\nToday, tank containers are used to transport a wide range of cargoes including gases, powders, liquids and other hazardous and non-hazardous loads, as well as a wide range of perishable and non-perishable food and food-grade products including orange juice, wine and even liquid chocolate. They can be cooled or heated using thermal jackets, either to protect perishable goods or to turn viscous commodities like heavy fuel oil into a more liquid state for unloading. The majority of tank containers are constructed from stainless steel and are manufactured by a handful of global companies. One such company is Welfit Oddy, based in South Africa. In 2016, they manufactured 6,300 containers, some 14% of the global total.\nApproximately 80% of the stainless steel used to manufacture the containers is Type 316 – containing 2% molybdenum – although other grades including 304 and lean duplex 2001 are also used. Stainless steel accounts for more than 60% of the weight of the container – 2.5 tonnes of the total empty weight of 4 tonnes. At least one manufacturer has started to produce the tank barrel from higher strength 2205 duplex stainless steel to make lighter packages with even better corrosion resistance.\nA typical container has a capacity of 25,000 liters and a maximum gross weight of 34 tonnes. The tank is usually surrounded by a protective insulating layer of polyurethane and aluminium and is secured inside a rectangular steel frame made to ISO specifications, nearly 20 feet (6 meters) long, nearly 8 feet (2.5 meters) wide, and approximately 8 feet (2.5 meters) high. The ISO accreditation is important as it guarantees that the tank unit will seamlessly connect with an entire transport infrastructure by road, rail and sea, just as regular ISO containers do.\nIt is this intermodal capability which has proved such a catalyst for the growth of the container industry, as the goods remain in the same container throughout their journey, whatever the mode of transport. Roger Gloor is Technical Manager for Bertschi AG, a global logistics service provider. Sharing his insights of tank container transport and its growing impact on cargo movements, he said: “What we have seen in the past decade is a globalization of product flow. Products are increasingly sourced not just regionally or on the same continent, but globally, and containerization makes this easier, allowing us to ship cargo ‘door to door’, using the most appropriate method. This means we can plan better, reduce lead times, and fix costs much more competitively.” Container transport is as flexible as the infrastructure allows, and because of this, it is usually also the most sustainable, saving energy and resources.\nSo why use molybdenum-containing Type 316 stainless steel? “Type 316 has several advantages,” said Roger. “It is easy to clean, provides excellent resistance against chemical corrosion and has good tensile strength. Because of its global availability, it’s also easy to source and repair anywhere in the world, and given its durability, it is competitively priced.\nChemicals are increasingly complex and present new corrosion challenges, but providing that the tanks are thoroughly cleaned and loaded correctly, there is no reason why containers shouldn’t give many years of reliable service.” Once the product has been delivered, the tank is cleaned according to the nature of its contents and is ready to be used again. There are many different cleaning processes depending on the cargo, and each process has a different application time, rangingfrom a few minutes to several days. These processes are an important factor in ensuring the quality and safety of transportation, and are regularly checked in accordance with international regulations.\nThe ease of cleaning stainless steel and its durability over repeated cycles is also an important logistical consideration. Historically, many commodities were transported in bulk by sea or in drums, which can be difficult to clean and are often disposed of after a single journey. In comparison, tank containers are rarely unused for any stage of a journey – including when they are initially delivered to their logistics customers. New containers built in South Africa typically leave laden with the country’s largest export – wine – in an elegantly efficient matching of one-way supply and demand.\nProducts are transported to and from every continent, with the flexibility of intermodal container transport helping to make previously unviable journeys possible. New rail routes have recently been opened up between China and Europe, taking advantage of the shorter distances and transit times over land compared to the sea route. Convoys of tank containers complete the 8,000 kilometer rail journey in just 18 days. The efficiency – and ultimately, sustainability – of tank containers are fuelling a boom in this sector which shows no sign of abating. In 2016 another 44,450 tanks were manufactured around the world, using more than 110,000 tonnes of stainless steel and nearly 1,800 tonnes of molybdenum, making tank containers a significant end-use application for molybdenum.\nAt the end of 2016, there were some 508,000 containers in existence around the world, an increase of 8.5% over the previous year. This popularity is due in part to the durability of the containers and their resistance to corrosion. Despite a variety of corrosive cargo, endless movement and vigorous cleaning, the containers are used over and over again, thanks to molybdenumcontaining stainless steel.\nInternational Molybdenum Association (IMOA) was founded in 1989 and is registered under Belgian law as a non-profit trade association (ASBL) with scientific purposes. IMOA currently represents some 85% of mine production and almost all conversion capacity outside China, as well as some mining and conversion capacity within China.\nThis article was originally published in the IMOA’s MolyReview, 1/2018 and is reprinted with kind permission.

Epub 2011 Apr 22.\nNational trauma databank analysis of mortality and limb loss in isolated lower extremity vascular trauma.\nKauvar DS1, Sarfati MR, Kraiss LW.\nDivision of Vascular Surgery, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84103, USA.\nLower extremity injury is common in trauma patients; however, the influence of arterial injury on devastating patient and limb outcomes can be confounded by the presence and physiological derangement of concomitant head or thoracoabdominal injuries. We analyzed isolated lower extremity injuries with an arterial component. Our aim was to elucidate factors associated with mortality and limb loss in this selected population.\nWe reviewed trauma incidents from the National Trauma Data Bank (2002-2006) containing isolated lower extremity injury codes and a specified infrainguinal arterial injury. Demographics, injury patterns, clinical characteristics, and adverse outcomes (death, amputation) during initial hospitalization were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for limb loss.\nThere were 651 isolated infrainguinal arterial injuries. Death (18) and early limb loss (42) were studied by mechanism (penetrating, n = 431; blunt, n = 220). Half of the deaths involved injury to the common femoral artery (CFA), and over 80% had injury to the CFA or superficial femoral artery (SFA). Death was three times as frequent in the CFA/SFA than in the popliteal/tibial injuries (P = .02). Penetrating injuries were present in almost 80% of deaths, and most of these were gunshot wounds. Patients who died had mean initial systolic blood pressure of 59.7 mm Hg, and almost 40% had no blood pressure on arrival. Mean initial Glasgow Coma Score was 4.5, and almost 80% arrived with a Glasgow Coma Score of 3 despite the absence of head injury. Twenty-seven above- and 15 below-the-knee amputations were performed. The popliteal artery was injured in half of the amputations, with injury isolated to the popliteal or tibial arteries in about three-quarters. Amputation was twice as frequent in popliteal/tibial than CFA/SFA injury (P = .03) and twice as frequent in blunt than penetrating injury (P = .05). Multiple arterial injuries (odds ratio, 5.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.7-15.6; P = .003), and fracture (odds ratio, 2.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-4.2; P = .02) independently predicted amputation, while the presence of nerve injury and soft tissue disruption did not.\nIsolated lower extremity trauma with vascular injury has a nearly 10% rate of mortality or limb loss. Mortality is associated with penetrating mechanism and early shock, likely resulting from prehospital proximal arterial hemorrhage. In contrast, early limb loss is more common with blunt distal vascular injury, especially to the popliteal and tibial arteries. Neither nerve nor soft tissue injury predicted limb loss but may result in delayed amputations not captured in this acute outcomes dataset.\nCopyright © 2011 Society for Vascular Surgery.

Today’s guest post is by Nuri Abdur-Rauf. USA native, Nuri, is interning with us at Asilia while she pursues an MA in Contemporary Typographic Media at the University of the Arts London College of Communication. We’ve been privy to what she’s working on for her final project – getting tidbits and sneak peeks of work in progress over lunch. I personally have learned a whole lot about African American English (AAE) and my own perceptions/preconceptions have been challenged! Here, Nuri shares a little bit of her fascinating topic. Enjoy!\nThere are about 5,000-7,000 recognized languages in use in the world today. The amount of dialects (versions of languages that are specific to a region or group) can't even be traced because of the vastness in variation that is related to factors like geographic location, education level, ethnicity and social status.\nI've always been fascinated by language and all that it embodies. This is why reading books are some of my first memories, why I couldn't be consoled after I got tripped up while spelling "carriage" in my 4th grade spelling bee and why I proofread for pleasure. I think it's also a big part of why I decided to get my Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Creative Writing and even though I'm working on my Master's right now in Graphic Design and Typography, the research I've decided to concentrate on deals squarely with linguistics and how people remix language to suit them.\nMy research centers around African American English (AAE) – also known as Black English, African American Vernacular English and many other monikers – and how it can be represented typographically. African American English is what its name suggests – a dialect of English that is primarily spoken by African Americans. It includes its own set of grammar and pronunciation patterns, a huge vocabulary of words and terms, distinct tone and inflection styles as well as body language. To put it simply, it's a rich and complex way of speaking that reflects its speakers. It developed from our creation as a people nearly 400 years ago, out of the need and desire for those taken from different parts of the continent to find a common linguistic ground to tread on and communicate amongst themselves in the strange land they'd been forcefully brought to. It began as a means of survival and has endured to the present day, morphing and adapting to the changing times, still with the undertone of survival but also of expression, identity and tradition.\nGrowing up down south in the states, in Georgia and South Carolina, hearing and speaking AAE was natural to me. It was just as natural to learn that there were times to speak it (around close family and friends and in relaxed settings); times when you should switch to the more mainstream, accepted form of English (I revoke the term Standard English because I don't think such a thing exists, but that's a different blog post) and; times when your speech could fall somewhere in between. This practice is called code switching and is a fluid occurrence that almost every Black American person I know considers to be second nature. The ease of turning it on and off comes from conditioning and is a window into what being Black in America entails. Code switching is necessary because of the unsettled racial inequality that exists in the country. Those who can't successfully code switch may miss out on opportunities. Their voices are often marginalized, their character is often judged unfairly and incorrectly. This complicated relationship that America has with AAE is the basis for my research and I hope to unpack some of the misjudging by presenting this way of speaking visually and in a positive light.\nThere is intense academic debate over the true origins of AAE – whether it is an amalgamation of the many African languages that converged when slavery in the United States began, versus whether AAE is a byproduct of the various English dialects that slaves first heard spoken by the white British, Scottish and Irish indentured servants they labored with. Personally, I think it's all of the above and it's a waste of time to "pick a side." Nevertheless, it's ridiculous to believe that AAE doesn't have ties to the ample amount of languages across the diaspora.\nDuring my research, I've come across the possible etymology of some of the words found in AAE's lexicon and their roots in the Wolof language of Senegal and Gambia (see illustrations above). While listening to a recording of a talk held at The British Library in 2010 on the language of hip hop, it was eye-opening to hear moderator MK Asante drop knowledge on these words – considered slang in mainstream America – and how they tie the African American experience to Africa (I could do an entire seperate project on AAE as it relates to hip hop music).\nAs I continue my research, I hope to uncover more connections. Information like this and the general discussion about this subject will hopefully help foster acceptance and begin to dissuade the isolation that AAE speakers experience by simply trying to communicate.\nAAE is beautiful. Just as its speakers are, just as the struggles they triumph over are, just as their ancestral homeland is.\nNuri is conducting a survey to gather opinions on AAE. It is open to all, from AAE speakers to those who are learning about it for the first time. Find it by clicking here. The survey is open until the end of August.\nTo follow along with Nuri's research, visit nuritypes.tumblr.com.

According to a folk belief widely circulated in Europe, certain persons were capable of transforming themselves into wolves on Christmas Eve. The night itself was filled with innumerable magical possibilities: water became wine; the mandrake root of legendary fame bloomed and apple trees simultaneously bore blossoms and fruit. At this time of year Frau Holda appeared with True Eckart, leading an unruly procession. An encounter with this Christmas goddess and her companion was both terrifying and rewarding. An unsuspecting mortal who unwittingly crossed path with Frau Holda’s procession received that most illusive Christmas gift of all, one that kept on giving. If you were lucky enough to be holding a beer stein when you met up with her, your glass would always be filled with tasty beer. That is, until you unwittingly disclosed the source of your secret brew.\nThe night was also good for augering the future. On Christmas Eve the curious hollowed out 12 onions and filled them with salt. Placing them strategically around the room, each onion was designated as a month of the year. On Christmas morning the onions would be carefully examined and the future predicted according to the shape of each onion. A shriveled January onion could only mean a month of meagerness. Likewise a bloated bulb could only portend a fat and prosperous 30 days. As in most things, it appears that much was left to the imagination of the beholder.\nBut back to the Christmas wolf. The wolf was originally significant as companion to Woton (Southern Germanic tribes) or Odin (Northern Germanic tribes). Two wolves reputedly were always by his side and they behaved more or less like hunting dogs. Because of this connection, the wolf became forever associated with heathen or pagan beliefs. An unbaptised child was referred to as heidenwolf (heathen wolf). There were certain methods one could employ to become a wolf: rubbing your body with magical salve or fastening your buckle in the 9th hole of your belt were popular methods. But remarkably, it was on Christmas Eve when pagan powers were especially potent. Persons with such inclinations could transform themselves into wolves quite easily on this night. Why someone would want to become a wolf is anyone’s guess. The night itself was considered to be imbued with supernatural powers.\nA wolf in December is a ravenous beast. The all-devouring creature in Little Red Riding Hood is juxtaposed with the life-giving nourishment of wine and cake the maid brings her grandmother. In Europe, there is a traditional cake associated with Christmas and the month of December, with many different regional variations. In Germany, this cake is celebrated for its richness and is called Christmas stollen. Other countries also eat a sweet cake, often filled with raisins, nuts or other fruits. Folk tradition stipulates that eating this cake is absolutely necessary, for its richness awards strength and much needed poundage to survive the long winter months. To ward off the ravenous beast within, bake this Christmas stollen and enjoy. Substitute raisins for the dried cherries to bake a more traditional European stollen.\nAdd while kneading:1 3/4 sticks soft butter, the dried fruit/rum mixture, 1/4 cup coarsely chopped and lightly toasted almonds.\nRoll into log about 6 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameterRemove dough from bowl and lightly roll out to a 1-inch thick oval (roughly 14 x 9 inches).\nPlace nut log in center. Fold over and shape into loaf.\nBrush loaf with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Place on greased cookie sheet.\nPreheat oven to 350 F. Using sharp knife, cut 3 cross-shaped notches across top of loaf. Let rise until double in size. Bake stollen for about 50 minutes or when knife inserted in center comes out clean. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Top with powdered sugar.

Restore Church —Rest or Toil?\nI was cleaning out my garage the other day of all the mess winter gathers and I found an as-yet unused two-person travel hammock that I received at a Yankee Swap from a family Christmas party. It’s unlikely to ever be used by two people, but I’m thankful for the added security. I pulled it out and set it aside, hoping that the day would come when I could lay in it and take a rest.\nRest. That’s what the hammock symbolized for me.\nIt probably doesn’t strictly needto be warm outside to rest. But I feel like it does. I’m not going to hang the it out in the cold and bundle myself up in blankets. I’m going to rest by swinging from the maple branches, the leaves forming a canopy rustling ever so slightly in the warm breeze.\nAll of this came back to me as I was driving, and the sun came out from behind the clouds. It provided immediate warmth, reminding me, it’s April. Warmth is coming, it’s just a little late this year. With warmth comes rest, and the thought of it brought an almost immediate sense of comfort and contentment.\nWhy was that? I think because I felt an immediate sense that things were going to be okay.\nI should note, it’s not like anything particularly stressful or difficult or out-of-the-ordinary was going on. There wasn’t some impending sense of doom. It was just normal, run-of-the-mill tiredness. It’s the tiredness that comes from feeling like we’ve just been at it too long, like everything depends on us, like we’re responsible for all of the things.\nThis past week in church we talked about contentment. God wants us to “find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun,” but that contentment and enjoyment is directly related to how much we trust God with our future. The teacher of Ecclesiastes was relating it to our finances: how much we enjoy the wealth God has given us will be in direct proportion to how much we trust that it came from Him. It’s true of other areas, as well, especially our daily toil: our contentment, enjoyment, and satisfaction in our daily toil will be in direct proportion to how much we trust him with our future.\nThat’s the thing about rest: it’s not just a future reality. It’s a present reality, and one that we can only experience when we believe that things really are going to be okay.\nEvery now and again we need a reminder. The warm sun was my reminder. What’s your reminder?\nNewer PostWho Should We Be?

Today August 26, 2016 we bring entrepreneurs around the world exciting news regarding a new measure USCIS plans to implement designed to benefit entrepreneurs of startup companies. USCIS has announced a new proposal that will make it easier for certain foreign entrepreneurs to receive temporary permission to enter the United States, also known as ‘parole,’ for the purpose of starting or scaling their start-up business enterprise in the United States.\nThe rule has been referred to as the ‘International Entrepreneur Rule’ which will give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the authority to expand discretionary statutory parole status to eligible entrepreneurs of startup companies, who can demonstrate that the startup enterprise they are interested in creating, has a substantial potential to yield rapid growth, and job creation in the United States.\nUnder the rule, entrepreneurs are eligible to receive an initial stay of up to two-years for the purpose of overseeing and growing the startup enterprise in the United States. At the conclusion of the two-years, the entrepreneur would be required to submit a re-parole request to receive three additional years of parole. A re-parole request would only be granted if the entrepreneur and start up enterprise would continue to provide a significant public benefit to the United States demonstrated by the startup entity’s increases in either capital investment, revenue, or job creation.\nThis ‘International Entrepreneur Rule’ will be published to the Federal Register, at which time the public will have the opportunity to make comments on the proposed rule 45 days from its date of publication. The proposed rule will not take effect until the final rule is published in the Federal Register stipulating the date of enforcement.\nTo read more about the International Entrepreneur Rule click here.

Some of the more common causes of a toenail turning black are centered on physical trauma. When a toe experiences trauma, either through repetitive motion or a single event, the nailbed can become bruised or blood can begin to pool between the nail and its bed (which is known as a subungual hematoma). Black toenails are frequently experienced by runners who train long distances.\nDarkened nails could also be an indication of a fungal infection. In rare cases, the dark coloration is the indication of malignant melanoma. Although this is not common, it can be quite serious, and is a good reason to always have discolored nails evaluated.\nMost subungual hematomas do not require much with regard to treatment. However, the condition can cause discomfort, so you may want to have the pool of blood safely drained. We can perform any care you need here at our Richardson, TX foot doctor office. Call Richardson Podiatry Associates at (972) 690-5374 for more information or to schedule an appointment.\nWhat Types of Allergies Affect Your Feet?\nAllergic reactions are responses by your body’s immune system to some sort of trigger. Many people are familiar with animal or food allergies, but do not realize that foot allergies exist until they begin to feel the symptoms of this particular problem.\nContact dermatitis of the feet occurs when direct contact is made with substances like detergents, certain fabrics, latex, solvents, or poisonous plants. These irritants can all invoke allergies of the skin and lead to reactions that are uncomfortable or even painful.\nAngioedema is a skin disorder resulting in welts that are itchy and possibly painful. This condition is triggered by such substances as animal dander, insect bites, eggs, shellfish, berries, and pollen.\nIf you live in the Richardson, TX area and have itchy or painful welts on your feet, schedule an appointment with Richardson Podiatry Associates today by calling (972) 690-5374. Come in and let Dr. Gene Reister determine if you have foot allergies and provide the medical attention you need.\nHow do I Check Spots for Skin Cancer?\nMelanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and it can spread quickly, making it imperative to be caught and treated as early as possible. Knowing the warning signs and how to check for skin cancer is your best form of protection.\nFirst, make a point to do a whole body examination at least once a month, more often if your doctor recommends so. If you are unable to look at certain areas, enlist a friend or family member to help. It is not often that people take the time to examine their feet. For this reason, when melanoma is found on feet it is often at an aggressive stage. Keep in mind the ABCDE’s of melanoma: Asymmetry (one half looks different), Borders (irregular or scalloped), Color (has different shades), Diameter (greater than the size of a pencil eraser), and Evolving (the spot looks different or is changing).\nIf you have any questions or concerns about a spot on your skin, do not wait to seek diagnosis and treatment. Contact Richardson Podiatry Associates to make an appointment with Dr. Gene Reister. You can reach our Richardson, TX, office by calling (972) 690-5374.
