On Friday's episode of Treatment, the Helpers discuss several players who have gone on to new teams and assign new fantasy value to their respective situations. Players discussed include Andre Johnson, Jeremy Maclin, Frank Gore and Ryan Mathews. Plus Bill Walton drops. This is going to be fantastically fun.
NFL Free agency is upon us, and fantasy football value is about to shift all over the place like a bunch of tectonic plates under a fault line. With so many players moving around, there's always a lot to take in. But here are the biggest running back transactions so far and what their fantasy impact is.
Podcast notes
Trent Richardson out, Frank Gore in
After the debacle of a trade that ended with Cleveland attaining a first-round draft pick in exchange for Richardson, the lifetime 49er is about to finally see what it's like to put on a different jersey after signing with the Indianapolis colts.. Gore turns 32 in May but the veteran back has shown remarkable consistency despite his age. He rushed for over 1,000 yards for the eighth time in his last nine seasons in 2014. Gore has also never averaged less than 4.1 yards per carry.
From an NFL standpoint, Gore made a great choice signing with Indy. It's a winning team with one of the Top 3 quarterbacks in the league. Gore will get another chance to compete to a championship in the somewhat weak AFC and the AFC South will be a cakewalk compared to the types of defenses he saw in the NFC West.
From a fantasy perspective, Gore will likely assume the role of former Colt Ahmad Bradshaw. Always an underrated receiver, Gore posted reception numbers of 61, 53, 43, and 52 from 2006-09 with San Francisco. He compiled those numbers before the run-minded Jim Harbaugh took the helm, which resulted in less passes being thrown his way.
Now that he's back on a team that passes a lot (Indy threw the ball 616 times last season which ranked 3rd highest in the league) expect Gore to see plenty of passes in the flat similar to what Bradshaw saw when he caught six receiving touchdowns over the first half of 2014. While Gore is a bit older than Bradshaw, he's also more durable, playing in all 16 games for the last four seasons.
Gore likely won't be the only back seeing snaps in the backfield, as Dan 'Boom' Herron showed some positive signs as a runner last year, but make no mistake Gore is going to be fantasy relevant as an RB2 this season.
LeSean McCoy out, Ryan Mathews, DeMarco Murray in
An injury prone back who's still in the prime of his career at 27, Mathews still has plenty of value as a running back and should see much better run blocking from the Eagles offensive line than the one he had in San Diego.
Obviously, you can't generate too much fantasy value if you're hurt, and Mathews has long been a guy who has never finished a season strong even when healthy. It's why the Chargers backed him up with so many other players (Danny Woodhead, Brandon Oliver and Donald Brown) in hopes of keeping him fresh throughout the season. But the situation is better in Philadelphia because of the offensive line. Plus, Chip Kelly's system will allow the athletic Mathews to use his conditioning to beat defenders rather than bruise through them.
As far as Murray goes, the former Cowboys running back will see plenty of runs as well in the offense. There should be enough ball to go around so that Murray and Mathews will remain fantasy relevant.

A Pediatric Practice Suffering from Growing Pains A Case Study in Organizational Development
by: Tom Pearce, President, iLead Training & Consultant
Our client, a private pediatric practice, has been recognized annually by the local paper as the best pediatrician practice in town. The five physician practice served over 23,000 patients in 2011 and would be considered by all to be a model practice.
By late 2011, issues began to arise, mostly due to the rapid growth of the practice over the past three years. Since its inception in 2002, the practice had grown from two providers to five. As a result of their growing pains, the principal doctor retained Tom Pearce of iLead Consulting & Training to help him smooth out some of the rough edges in his expanding practice. There were several ongoing obstacles in the practice during this time:
Provider turnover: Through no fault of their own, the practice experienced the turnover of four providers in six months. There were resignations, terminations and people moving on to focus on different specialties.
Inconsistent hiring practices: As the practice rapidly grew, people were hired for various reasons. Some were a great fit for the practice, some were not. This lack of consistency led to 100% turnover of staff in 2011. The constant training and retraining of staff took its toll on the morale of the group.
Inexperienced administrators in key roles: Several administrators started in their positions when the practice was much smaller and open fewer hours during the week. As the practice grew, the challenges become more complex. One key player, despite her sunny disposition, skills and talents, found her confidence waning. Facing burnout, she decided to leave the practice to pursue a totally different career path.
In order for the practice to retain its status as the best pediatric practice in town, the principal doctor recognized that the practice needed to change. In addition, it was his goal for the practice to become an employer of choice by creating a healthy work environment.
The iLead team met with the doctor and his CFO, the group developed a four-point plan designed to transform and re-energize the practice. The plan included the following steps:
Conduct an employee survey: The entire staff was surveyed in order to identify the specific issues that needed to be addressed. The results revealed that the top three issues within the practice were: 1. Provider and staff communications, 2. Customer service and 3. Employee turnover.
Conduct employee interviews: The next step was to interview each staff member looking for ways to improve in each of the three key areas. Employees were encouraged to speak openly and honestly about issues which were holding them back from doing great work.
Make hard decisions: Once the interviews were completed, it became clear that the practice would not move forward until people who had very poor work-performance were separated from the organization. Great care was taken to give notice and ultimately separate each of these employees. As a result of these tough decisions, several staff members decided to follow suit.
Recruit right person, right fit, right time: In order to quickly and efficiently find talent to replace the providers and other talent a process was created to recruit not only for the necessary skills, but also for the right fit for the practice. The mantra became, "right person, right job, right time." The principal doctor and his team wanted to find people who would uplift the group and not bring the team down. Within just a few months, all the critical positions were filled including the practice administrator as well as key provider openings. Two top performers were promoted and one senior-level employee had her job refocused so that it was a better fit for her professional interests.
Create a meaningful rewards structure: Through a series of coaching sessions and discussions with the CFO, employees were hired and contracts were renewed with an eye toward rewarding the right behaviors. Contracts were structured to encourage creativity and productivity. Pay structures were designed to balance the needs of the practice with the needs of the individual to grow and develop.
Provide team-building and leadership training: Once the new team was in place, the iLead team began training with an eye toward improving customer service. The training included sessions on team building, improving customer service and effective communications.
Write performance reviews focused on building a positive work climate: As of this writing, the focus continues on placing the right person into the right job at the right time. Employee performance reviews are given in the spirit of compassion and tough love. Ultimately, there will be more employee turnover, but it will be managed, thoughtful and respectful. Those who stay and thrive will be given opportunity to increase their salary and their professional challenge.
Working together, the practice leadership and the iLead team re-energized and refocused this team. In less than six months, the practice successfully transformed from experiencing an uncertain future into a thriving and healthy practice. The results – better communications, more disciplined staffing processes and compensation practices which motivate desired performances and a positive work climate. In March, 2012, the practice was once again recognized by the local paper as the best pediatrician practice in town.

Several months ago I was fortunate to attend Gallany event. It was to celebrate the collaboration between Billy B, the makeup artist, and Gallany.
I took this picture from my Instagram. Here are the things I received at the event. I grabbed a cotton candy and a mirror. For this post, I will review the palette on the bottom left.
Billy B X Gallany Essentials Palette
Where to purchase: online at gallany.com
Price: $54
Made in USA
Description from the website: Go from a natural look to knock-out glamorous with this Face & Eye Palette, designed by celebrity makeup artist Billy B. This multitasking collection of luxe pigments is formulated to be used as eye shadow, eyeliner, blush, highlighter and contour for maximum payoff all in one product. From Billy B. by Gallany.
Talc, Zinc Stearate, Lauroyl Lysine, Nylon-12, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Boron Nitride, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Isopentyldiol. MAY CONTAIN: Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Carmine (CI 75470), Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), Tin Oxide (CI 77861).
Thoughts: I first heard of Gallany several years ago when I received a lipstick from Gallany in my Generation Beauty LA swag bag. So when I was invited to the event, I was excited to attend. I didn't see the palette until I came home. I had an overview of how it looks but I didn't get to see the inside. It is perfect with the theme of peachy warm tone trend that is going on right now.
Now for looks I did...
Look #1:
L'Oreal Infallible Paints/Lips Mattes in Festival on the lips.
Look #2:
NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in Get It On on the lips.
Look #3:
Dose of Colors Liquid Matte Lipstick in Play It Cool on the lips.
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the packaging is nice. It comes in a cardboard packaging and the simple design stands out. It says "Billy B X Gallany" in shiny bronze on top of bronze. I don't own a lot of bronze packaging. For that reason, it stands out with my colorful and black palettes. With that said, it's sturdy. It has magnets on the inside corners inside the bronze packaging. I can feel a tight seal when I open/close the palette. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. It also comes with a mirror which makes it to easy to apply if you're traveling. Best of all, the palette is thin and light-weight. Secondly, most of the colors are matte except the bottom two on the left. If you're into shiny eyeshadows like myself, there isn't much choices. This will make a great palette with other eyeshadows. If you're not into shiny eyeshadows, this will be your only palette. You will not need other palettes and products. You can use this for the entire face. There's eyebrow color, eye makeup from lid to eyeliner, contouring, highlight, and blush. With that said, this is an exceptional palette. The consistency of the shadows are buttery soft. It feels so good in-between the fingers and the shadows are compacted. There hardly any loose powder anywhere on the palette. It's easy to use and if you're going to use the small shadows for other parts of the face like blush, it might be too small to grab with a small brush. I cannot guarantee that since I only used it as an eyeshadow. I will tell you I loved the different browns in the palette. It's perfect for contouring and the ranges are great for all skin colors. Third, the colors are wide range from light to dark. It'll be great all year depending on how you use it. Eyebrow, eyeliner, blush, contouring, and highlight is good for every day of the year. Eyeshadow-wise you can get as versatile as you like. It can be natural, you can smoke it up, and some of the colors are perfect for this fall trend. With that said, it's mostly warm tone. Pigmented-wise I was impressed. It's not the most pigmented but it is up there. It's comparable to a lot of high-end products or at least in my opinion. I didn't have to layer for it to show up on my face. Lastly, it lasted all day on me. I did not see any creasing, smudging, and so on. At the end of the day, it looked like how I applied it but most products do. I'm glad I got this palette. It's a very useful palette. I'll definitely use it for other things like contouring.
* Comes in a sturdy, cardboard, bronze color packaging.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Having accepted this information as fact I am always stunned by the offerings our food manufacturers seem to find appropriate in their efforts to get us to start the day with their products. With obesity levels heading towards infinity, why would anyone even invent a way to ingest high levels of saturated fat and sodium soon after waking? Take Jimmy Dean. Please. What idiot thought a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant was a good idea? With 45% of your daily intake of fat consumed by 9am what are you supposed to do the rest of the day? Chomp on lettuce and carrots? Not likely.
My experience with starting off on a less than nutritious note is that it signals the beginning of a terrible day. When I used to endure monthly breakfast meetings I handled the tray of pastries like a mouse with an eating disorder. First I'd pile on the fruit salad, thinking it would edge out all the other bad options. But then maybe just that mini blueberry scone and how about that tiny, baby cheese danish? It's so cute! Then I'd finish the fruit and start picking at the two treats with my fingers, nibbling tiny little pieces as if I planned on leaving some left over, which I never did. By the end of the meeting the scone, danish and ½ a blueberry muffin that somehow found its way onto my plastic plate would have disappeared down my gullet and two hours later I was starving.
Now listen, I'm not some breakfast Nazi wielding an oatmeal coated wooden spoon. I've had my share of frosted raspberry Pop-Tarts and I've never met a slice of Entenmann's Pecan Danish Ring I didn't like. You don't need me to pontificate on the evil chocolate(y) dripping fangs of Count Chocula or the blood glucose spiking 410 calories of a Mocha Coconut Frappucino. But recently two commercials have caused me to press pause on my DVR in disbelief.
I am as grumpy as the next person if I don't have my morning cup of coffee and I completely appreciate taking pleasure in a big mug of joe. But despite my childhood obsession with General Foods International Coffees (they seemed so sophisticated!) the smell of fake flavorings makes me sick. And that's why I can't wrap my head around a new product that seems truly foul, Baileys Coffee Creamers. At first I assumed they were made to enhance after dinner coffees, assuming Baileys=after dinner drink. (The plural "coffees" makes me cringe, by the way.) But the commercial (click yellow link to watch) proved me wrong. A woman wakes up, makes her java and sits outside on her porch watching the sun come up with her hands wrapped around her steaming cup of non-alcoholic Irish coffee. Can you think of anything more disgusting? Who would want that taste to be their first of the day? Not to mention Baileys is a little creepy whether the sun is up or down. And why do people on TV always hold their hot drinks like they're trying to warm their freezing hands? She's only wearing a sweater so presumably it's not that cold where she lives. And who has time in the morning to sit outside pondering the day?
Meanwhile, while this woman and her coffee seem to be enjoying a very leisurely start, another woman is busy trying to get her kids fed and off to school. Who knew it was so hard to find a child pleasing breakfast? Even my finicky nieces scarf down a toaster waffle (organic and whole-grain of course) or a bowl of Kashi Heart to Heart without a fuss. But this poor mom can't think of any other way to get her children to eat other than to slather a piece of toast with Nutella. (She makes a point of using the word "multi-grain" as the bread is the only nutritionally valid part of her planned meal.) Click here to watch. I was so taken aback by the positioning of Nutella as a breakfast food for children that I just had to consult the jar I had in my cabinet. (Yes, I keep it on hand for when I want to make that decadent and totally delicious pound cake.) Okay, I kind of wish I hadn't done that. The ingredients are sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa, skim milk, lecithin and vanillin (fake vanilla) and the suggested two tablespoon serving delivers 200 calories, 11 grams of fat and 21 grams of sugar. How's that for a breakfast of champions?
But even more important was my Nutella…wake-up call. For some time now I've been a little turned off by the oily sheen that sits on the surface and it kind of freaks me out that it doesn't need to be refrigerated if in fact it contains milk. Also, why does palm oil come before nuts if it is a hazelnut spread? That can't be good. (Isn't it funny that when hazelnuts are buried in a nut-mix they're called filberts and are usually abandoned to rot at the bottom of the can with the despised, waxy Brazil nuts?) All of this was running through my mind the last time I dipped a Pretzel Crisp into my jar of Nutella (sweet and salty, the best combo) and led me to tackle the make-your-own chocolate-hazelnut paste printed last March in the Times. It is so easy and truly sublime: the semi-sweet chocolate enhances the nuts in a way cocoa just can't compete. It's more like true Italian gianduja and the texture is a little thicker than the stickier goo of Nutella. But what you lose in ooziness you gain in flavor—this spread is so rich and intense that I'm tempted to toss my Nutella into the trash. Or maybe I'll just make one last pound cake. And nibble on a tiny slice for breakfast.
Not for Breakfast Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread
Adapted From The New York Times, March 15, 2011

Interactions Between Private and Public Resource Governance: Key Insights from Fisheries/
Note from the Digital Editor: In order to highlight the high-level of research and scholarship from the authors who have published in the William & Mary Policy Review's peer-reviewed print journal, we have reproduced the abstracts from Volume 8, Issue 1 along with a link to an electronic copy of the full form of the piece.
Growing in presence and visibility, eco-labels and other forms of green certification are the more obvious signs of a broader social and policy phenomenon: the rise of private regulation and non-state, market-based governance of environmental and resource practices. The growth of private regulatory initiatives, especially initiatives led by NGOs and other civil society actors, is increasingly accompanied by concerns over their potential to detract from public, government regulation.
This paper seeks to generate some empirically grounded insights on the nature and consequences of interaction between more traditional forms of public, government regulation and the growing realm of market-based regulation by non-state actors. It does so by focusing on the burgeoning field of private, market-based fisheries regulation to highlight some intriguing new trends of public-private interaction that are emerging in the fisheries context.
My observations and analysis suggest there is potential for positive synergies between private and public fisheries regulation, and specifically, between the private, market-based regulatory efforts of NGOs and their broader endeavors for public regulatory reform.

Multiagency Wake County searches of parolees, probationers lead to 41 arrests
Federal, state, county and local law-enforcement officers arrested 41 people and seized guns, cash and drugs during two days of searching people on parole or probation in Wake County, the state Department of Public Safety (DPS) said Thursday.
Teams of law enforcement officers searched 56 locations and served 56 arrest warrants that contained 75 charges, a DPS statement said.
The arrests happened Tuesday and Wednesday during what officials dubbed Operation Summer Solstice.
People who are on probation as a sentence for a criminal conviction or who are on parole after serving time in prison can be searched any time by a probation or parole officer without a search warrant, state law says. The law covers a person's vehicle and residence as well as long as the probationer or parolee is present.
The search teams went to 105 locations to attempt searches, the statement said.
Along with the arrests, DPS said, the sweeps netted 15 guns, $21,000 in cash and various drugs.
Officials said the guns came from a sex offender who had nine and a man on probation who had six guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
Federal personnel working on the operation included U.S. marshals; agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and representatives from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the state's Eastern District, which includes Wake County.
State probation and parole officers, Wake County sheriff's deputies, and police from Raleigh, Apex, Cary, Garner, Holly Springs, Knightdale, Rolesville, Morrisville, Wake Forest and Zebulon were involved, the statement said.
The U.S. Marshals Service swore in about 40 local officers as special deputy marshals for the operation, giving them arrest authority beyond their communities.
"We are grateful to our federal and Wake County law enforcement partners for their hard work on this operation," said Public Safety Secretary Erik Hooks.

The many nutrients found in a single orange can have a significant impact on an elderly person's health. Phoenix senior care experts discuss how these nutrients work and why your elderly loved one might want to eat oranges more regularly.
Everyone carries different genetic dispositions to certain diseases, and the rate of aging also differs from person to person. However, what people eat weighs heavily on how and when genes express themselves. Flavonoids have attracted the attention of researchers in recent years due to their exceptional ability to affect gene expression. This plays an important role in the rate and the quality of your loved one's aging. Oranges possess more than 60 flavonoids, which the elderly need more than younger adults.
Aging affects the immune system. As a person ages, vulnerability to virtually all diseases increases, including heart disease and most cancers. If your loved one has chronic inflammation, it can have a synergistic negative effect in the probability of acquiring these illnesses. Oranges contain over 170 phytochemicals. These molecules have powerful anti-inflammatory properties and can drastically reduce your loved one's risk of various diseases.
An adequate amount of fiber is beneficial to everyone. However, the elderly tend to be more susceptible to irregularity, and the fiber found in oranges can help promote regular bowel movements. Many experts recommend eating whole fresh oranges because they contain far less sugar than a serving of orange juice.
Blood pressure also tends to increase with age. Keeping your loved one's blood pressure at a desired level is a major factor in reducing his or her risk for both heart attacks and strokes. A key to minimizing this is having a high potassium-to-sodium ratio in the body. One small orange has 240 mg of potassium, and just one orange per day can go a long way toward meeting your loved one's recommended daily allowance of this nutrient. However, your loved one should still be mindful of sodium intake even if he or she is conscientious about getting plenty of potassium.
A nutritious diet is one of the key components in living a long and healthy life. At Home Care Assistance, we seek to encourage this and many other healthy lifestyle factors through our proprietary Balanced Care Method. Our caregivers are expertly trained in senior nutrition, and we are a leading provider of Parkinson's, post-stroke, and Alzheimer's home care Phoenix seniors and their families can rely on.

Whether you are already a parent or are expecting a child soon, you will need to design a kids bedroom for your infants and it's not going to be as simple as getting a bed and setting it up. As your kids grow older, their bedroom becomes their own little world, housing everything from their books and toys to their clothes, shoes and games.
Keeping this in mind, the design, decor and furniture you choose for your kids' bedroom will affect how they feel and how they act, react and learn new things. In this post we are going to be sharing 10 kids bedroom decor and design ideas including tips for the kind of furniture you can opt for.
The design below is quite traditional and goes for a classic look which is ideal for boys. The color scheme is light blue and white, but a splash of red is thrown in there with the bed sheets and couch. The room is spacious and the uncluttered decor makes it look bigger than it is.
If you've got a small space you can always opt for bunk beds, however, the most important design decision in the bedroom shown below is its color scheme. The walls and ceiling are neutral, and the only instances of color are on account of the curtains and fabric. This makes space for modification of the room and changes in the room as the kids grow up.
This kids bedroom design makes the most of the limited amount of space it has. There are two beds and the wall is providing space for cabinets and shelves. A makeshift study desk is also created out of the shelves and the room remains uncluttered because all of it is focused towards one side.
This bedroom is ideal for small kids and incorporates multiple colors and toys without actually making any permanent or big changes. The walls remain neutral and the whole effect is achieved by interior decor, which is mainly hinging on the wall posters and paintings.
The design below is strictly functional with just the right amount of personality thrown in. There are two small tables with drawers which can hold items along with the shelf on the wall. The study table is large enough to be comfortable and the bed is pushed to the other side, clearing the front and making the room look bigger.
If you're looking for something colorful, you can refer to the design below which uses a red and white wallpaper to spruce things up a little. Similarly, the double bed is made to maximize the use of space and offers a proper wardrobe and drawers for daily items. A wall shelf for books is also set up in the side along with a work space and seats.
This bedroom is actually smaller than most but the design makes it work. The wardrobe is curved towards the inside instead of having protruding, blocky edges which take up space. Similarly, shelves are mounted on the wall and a panel running across the wall's length serves as a work desk. The bed, though small, is pushed to one side and has drawers under it for storage.
This bedroom design takes things a little further due to availability of space. The double bed is next to the wall along with a shelf to hold books and toys. The centre table is good for keeping the kids occupied and this design would work for both boys and girls.
If you've got older kids, the design below should do well because it's neutral and doesn't go for bright or multiple colors. The shade of green isn't exactly childish while there is ample room for books and other items. The furniture in this room makes good use of the available space.
If you're thinking of turning your attic into the kids bedroom, the design below can serve as inspiration. The raised platform can hold another bed while there can be a wardrobe under it. The choice of light blue color makes the room appear bigger and the flooring here is also interesting.
The 10 designs above will give you lots of ideas for setting up your own kids' bedroom, but if you've got any other suggestions, please feel free to comment below and let us know. The main thing you need to keep in mind is the choice of furniture to make the maximum use of available space. Moreover, you need to decide whether you wish to keep a room open to changes as your kids grow or set it up in a manner that will require major renovations later.


text: Progressing clinical academic careers 9 December 2015 BHF Press Office Category: About BHF Despite many clinical researchers advancing to leadership positions, they still face widespread barriers to their progress as both clinicians and academic researchers according to a new MRC-led review to which we contributed. The review details the experiences of more than 400 clinicians - including cardiologists - who applied for clinical research training fellowships or intermediate clinical research fellowships from us or these other medical research funders: the MRC, the Academy of Medical Sciences, Cancer Research UK, the National Institute for Health Research and the Wellcome Trust. The review explores how these fellowship applicants became interested in research, the career pathways they have pursued, and what they felt helped or hindered their progression as a clinical researcher. The importance of clinical researchers Clinical academics are in a unique position, straddling the worlds of clinical practice and academic research. In order to embark on a career as a clinical academic, clinicians can apply for a fellowship to support their training and development. These are offered by us and many other research funders, including those above which undertook the review. Are you an aspiring clinical researcher? Find out about our grant funding.The review consulted fellowship awardees as well as those whose applications had been rejected, and in both cases the majority contribute to research activity in some form in their current role. People with a fellowship were more likely to hold an academic leadership role now and to have secured significant further funding. The review includes how these awards contributed to their career progression. Enabling progression The review highlights the importance of research funding, personal mentorship and tailored careers guidance in enabling aspiring clinical academics to progress, along with a number of wide-spread barriers they face. Those taking part reported that maintaining research activity, the inaccessibility of relevant careers guidance and support, and a lack of alignment in organisational support to combine clinical duties and research time were particular concerns. The review makes a number of recommendations for research funders and other stakeholders in clinical education and training in order to maintain the pipeline of early-career clinical academics, and ensure seamless, coordinated support for clinical and academic progression. Download the review here. Our thoughts on the review Our Senior Research Advisor, Dr Shannon Amoils, said: "This review highlights the many challenges faced by early career clinical academics, who are combining a busy schedule of clinical training or practice with a research career. This cohort brings a unique skill set and a clinically relevant knowledge base to cardiovascular science, and nurturing the next generation of cardiovascular clinical academic is of paramount importance to the BHF. "As the review highlights, personal fellowship awards are an important enabler for a successful academic career. In line with this, and as part of our new strategy, we are committed to providing flexible funding schemes for talented doctors who are pursuing a research career."

Unless you've been on a media fast, you've heard that Apple has released a new mobile device called the iPad. When Steve Jobs made his keynote address at the launch, he opened with a quote from the Wall Street Journal that said something to the effect of "the last time there was this much excitement about a tablet, there were some commandments written on it."
Publishers certainly have been waiting with bated breath. The biggest media losers in the Internet age, the magazines and newspapers, hold some hope that the device will be their salvation. They've lost so many subscription and newsstand readers to free content on the Web, including free content on their own sites, that their very survival is tenuous. They hope the iPad will be a venue in which they can finally generate revenue from digital content delivery.
Though not on the same scale, book publishers also face ever-increasing competition in providing information and entertainment. The Kindle made a bit of a stir, since it held the potential to replace ink on paper for at least novels and other one-color books. Until now, though, no handheld device existed that gave the user a satisfactory experience in reading full-color books. The iPad holds that promise, and a major feature is its brand-new iBook store, the bookstore equivalent of iTunes.
Do I worry? Maybe I'm supposed to, but I don't. I want traditional books to survive, and I think they will. They've existed for centuries and hold an almost sacred place in our culture. However, I'm also tremendously excited about the possibilities of books that can hold video to show how-to content much more clearly and thoroughly than still illustrations or photos; books that can be interactively searchable, replacing the need for an index, which always seems to fall short, no matter how good it is; books that reduce the demand for unsustainably harvested paper and toxic inks; and so much more. I want to be a part of that, and I hope traditional book publishers across the spectrum don't cede these opportunities to new media publishers or (horrors!) new media divisions within their companies but rather embrace e-books as part of a holistic, integrated publishing program.

I just can't imagine not having a real book in my hand. Whether it's a cook book that I can thumb through and find popular recipes from the stains on the pages to the beauty of a well-bound book with heavy paper and torn edges. There is an intimacy with books that electronic devices will never replicate. Keep on publishing thoughtful, informative and beautiful books! Jen

Because I'm always a day late and a buck short...I wanted to do my weekend update, but well, it's Tuesday...so we are going to do a little pretend....(even though no one EVER wants a redo of Monday, #yuck).
This weekend was pretty chill...after I got my ark built, I pretty much did nothing...Highlights from the weekend -
I "Heart" new Blake Shelton song!
I'm dying to do some house remodeling...nothing major, but just enough to fix my restlessness! First item of business, these ridiculous bathroom towel racks!
Apparently they are glued on...which means in order to remove them, my whole wall could possibly come down. Maybe something I should leave to the experts, but I have a bad feeling one Friday night it's going to come down!
On Sunday, Jill & I went to Panera to "work on our blogs" - well I was mostly concerned with getting a picture, but I'm so terrible when it comes to someone taking my picture. Where do I put my hands (and why does that even matter), which is my good side (apparently neither)...I was just joking with this one, but Jill snapped, and you know what, it kinda cracks me up!
And lastly, all week and weekend I was stressed (still working on it) but I still am. Feel like there is way too much on my mind - and quite frankly my head is spinning. I found this on Pinterest, and it seemed to be speaking right to me! I really think prayer is the answer, for everything...now I just need to live it!

Italy v England, Six Nations 2012
Italy eye historic victory
ESPNscrum Staff
February 6, 2012

England will be going out to extend their unbeaten run against Italy when the two teams come face to face at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.
There have been 17 Test matches involving the nations since 1991 with the Azzurri yet to taste success. Indeed, England are the only team among those competing in the Championship that Italy have never beaten.
Italy came close to ending that run in Rome in 2010 where England laboured to a 17-12 victory - Italy's second best result in the history of the fixture. Italy's last visit to Twickenham ended in disaster though with Martin Johnson's charges making light work of the threat posed by the Azzurri as they ran in eight tries en route to their 59-13 triumph.
England's 80-23 triumph at Twickenham during the 2001 Six Nations is the highest score and biggest winning margin of the series. The result also stands as the record score for any International Championship match.
Italy's 23 points that day is their highest score against England, though their best result was the four-point (19-23) defeat in Rome in 2008.
England's 10 tries at Twickenham in 2001 is the most by a team in a match in this series. The best Italian try return is three at Twickenham in 1996.
Jonny Wilkinson set the mark for the highest individual score in a match. He gathered 35 points at Twickenham in 2001 to set the current individual record for most points by a player in any International Championship match. Diego Dominguez scored 15 points for Italy at Huddersfield in 1998.
Austin Healey scored the first of the three try hat-tricks by England in the matches, crossing in Rome in 2000. Jason Robinson repeated the feat in Rome in 2004 and Mark Cueto at Twickenham in 2005. But last year, at Twickenham, Chris Ashton smashed all the records as he ran in four scores for England - the first to do so in a Test since Nick Easter against Wales back in 2007. No Italian player to date has scored two tries in a match.
Jonny Wilkinson heads the list of overall scorers in the series with 148 in nine appearances. Diego Dominguez, who played seven times against England, holds the corresponding record for Italy with 51.
Austin Healey and Mark Cueto are the leading overall try scorers with six. Mirco Bergamasco has three tries in the series.
Italy-England results in the Six Nations:
In 1986, a full-strength England XV were held to a 15-15 draw in Rome in a match that only Italy recognised as a cap match.
The Azzurri also gave caps for three matches against England under-23 sides between 1975 and 1982, and for the match in 1985 against England B. The results of these games were as follows: 1975 England u-23 29-13 (Gosforth); 1979 Drawn 6-6 (Brescia); 1982 Italy 12-7 (Padua); 1985 England B 21-9 (Twickenham).
Neither the RFU nor the FIR awarded caps for the Italy XV - England XV game in Rovigo in 1990, even though the teams fielded were of Test standard. The English won 33-15.

- SolangeMarch 10, 2018 at 11:42 AM
They are more contemplative, moving, meaningful. They are often inspirational that you just have to see, or will change your world, that will simply blow your mind, or break your heart, or take your breath away. I empathise and connect with the story and that actually feels good.ReplyDelete
It makes me feel more connected to the characters, which I love.ReplyDelete

Reading what someone else has gone through will make you see what you have in life is good and it will make you want to help others who don't have it so well.ReplyDelete
They are heart warming and touch me emotionally!!ReplyDelete
Samantha D
I love reading emotional stories because it make my heart clenches a lot and my body feel tingle all over. It also help me release my stress by making me cry.ReplyDelete
I can even tell you why, all I know is that I get all the feels, I suffer with heroes and I love a good emotional story.ReplyDelete
I love emotional stories because it takes me into the shoes of the character and creates a special bond. Books become more than just stories when they make you feel something, when they help you explore your own depths as you navigate their world.ReplyDelete
I love the connection I feel to the characters when reading them.ReplyDelete
Sometimes you just have to get emotional and they help you reach that point.ReplyDelete

I love how involved I get with emotional storiesReplyDelete
They touch you deep down and mess up your whole brain.ReplyDelete
You can relate to the characters more easily and relive their storiesReplyDelete
Emotional stories make me think & evaluate my own relationships.ReplyDelete
I don't really express my emotions in everyday life, so these kinds of books allow me to live vicariously.ReplyDelete
i like feeling like im living though everything with the characterReplyDelete
I think it makes the characters more relatable and that they show that all books aren't always "happy endings" or things turn out the way people want when they want. I do enjoy reading the journey and seeing what happens though. Saying that I always seem to need a box of tissues when I read them, although it doesn't stop me.ReplyDelete
Not sure why I read those, I love romance in general, but read more emotional stories when the mood strucks. Honestly, I don't know why.ReplyDelete

Dealing with all of the New York City agencies can be overwhelming, especially when one wants to have construction work done. Here is a step-by-step guide to this process.
1Decide what you need done. You need to look at your budget and priorities. You might try to find neighbors, family members or a local business that might help you decide.
2Find an architect who can determine what could actually be done. The end result would be the drawing of architectural plans that would be needed to proceed with the work. An architect can help with a proposed budget for the work as well. Prepare a detailed contract with the architect so there are no questions or concerns later on. Architects
3Get your plans filed and approved. The architectural plans have to be approved by the Department of Buildings. This can be a time-consuming process, so plan accordingly. The architect will be able to help in this process. Your architect will play a substantial role in your construction, depending upon the size of the job. Your architect must be capable of performing a controlled inspection and must be registered with the Building Department to do special inspections. The architect, who may have worked with a number of builders, can recommend a reliable contractor.
4Search for a contractor. Make sure the contractor is licensed and insured with the NYC Dept. of Buildings as well as the NYC Dept. of Consumer Affairs. A contractor can also help you find other tradesmen such as electricians and plumbers. Sometimes contractors will have their own sub-contractors with whom they work closely on projects. Talk to the contractor about this. It sometimes helps the project proceed smoothly if a contractor has control over the subs when they are used to working together.
5Hire a contractor. A contract should be signed by all parties involved, and insurance certificates should be shared. Once this is squared away, the permits can be processed.
6Get your work permits. Obtaining work permits sometimes involves expeditors. These are Building Department employees with on-the-street experience in obtaining permits. There are permit-filing fees, which should be spelled out to you beforehand.
7Start your work. Once permits are obtained (not before), the work can begin. Make sure enough time is allowed for the permitting process. Contact your architect prior to starting construction, because he/she will have to inspect the excavation and footing.
8Work with the contractor and architect along the way in order to monitor progress.
9Be ready for the inspection. Once the work is completed there will be an inspection required for the Department of Buildings before it will sign-off on the work. Involve the architect or contractor in this step, too.
10You need to obtain the sign-offs for plumbing, electrical and general construction in order to get a Certificate of Occupancy or Letter of Completion. You can go to www.nyc.gov/bis to see what still has to be done in the Required Items screen.
Community Q&A
QuestionDo I need a contractor to get a work permit?Community AnswerNot usually, but you do need to do the work exactly the way the municipality wants it done. Have them give you their guidelines. If you're up to the work, then you complete an application, get the permit, and have them inspect it, maybe multiple times.
QuestionWhat if I want to cut the deck and leave it as is in the original plans?Community AnswerThis may be fine, but the Property Records may need to be updated. Therefore, a Permit may be needed as the only method to give notice of the change.
QuestionHow much is it to obtain a working premit to fix a gas pipe?Community AnswerIt's all based on the cost and scope of the project, contact the municipality for their fee structure or schedule. Neighbors may have to be notified or there may be multiple inspections required for specific steps in the project and the project may be delayed in waiting for an inspection.
QuestionFor a private house, who has to apply for a renovation work permit in New York City, the owner or the contractor?Community AnswerEither can, but it's usually best for the contractor to do so. This way, the Inspector can deal with someone knowledgeable and therefore meet with the person(s) responsible for getting the work done right.
QuestionDo I need a work permit to have my sidewalk fixed?Community AnswerYou, as a property owner, may not be required to have a license depending on your location, but it's still preferred. A contractor or official employee would almost certainly need a license though.

- Discuss any and all concerns with your architect and/or contractor prior to the start of work to ensure you have a good experience all around. Keep lines of communication open throughout the project.
- Make sure you know exactly what work you want done before they start. It can be very costly to make changes later on.
- Find competent people by talking to neighbours or others that might recommend architects and contractors. Use the internet to search for local architects. You can go to http://www.aia.org or the Better Business Bureau. Make sure the architect you are hiring is registered, insured and has the ability and authorization to do controlled inspections. Do not engage the services of anyone other than a registered architect or professional engineer to do design and filing in NYC.
- Never hire an expeditor to do any architectural work, because they are not licensed to seal plans and do not have the training and experience to design structures.
- Make sure whoever you hire is licensed and insured to perform the work. If not, you run the risk of total liability if something goes wrong. Your insurance company may well drop you if they find you hired the wrong people.
- Before hiring an architect or contractor, investigate them for possible complaints against them with the Better Business Bureau or the city's Department of Building.
- Don't hire a contractor before you hire an architect. You need the architect first for the process of design, permitting and taking competitive bids from potential contractors.
- Never do complicated work yourself unless you have tools and experience in construction.
Things You'll Need

Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers will embark on a summer tour through the Southeast during the months of June and July. The band will make stops at the famed Georgia Theatre in Athens as well as four shows in North Carolina as well as stops in Kentucky and Delaware.
In addition to the new tour, two new members will join The Noisemakers as fiddle/mandolin player Ross Holmes and guitarist Gibb Droll will join the group. These additions mark the departure of longtime Noisemaker band members Bobby Reed and Doug Derryberry.
On Reed's departure, Hornsby said, "Bobby Reed is one of the greatest musicians I know. I've loved playing with him , and hope to always have opportunities to work with him. He was with us for twenty years, and I'm so grateful for his great taste, good humor, soul and musicianship during his long tenure."
The former Grateful Dead keyboardist also commented on Derryberry leaving the group, saying, "When I released the Spirit Trail album in 1998, I needed to find a guitar player who could play John Leventhal's great orchestral guitar parts that enhanced that music so much. Doug Derryberry filled that bill and much more, with his guitar, strong vocals and mandolin playing giving us what we needed for fifteen years."
Tickets are available now for select shows, with pre-sales scheduled for April 10 for the remaining shows. General on-sale begins April 11. All ticketing information is available here.
Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers Dates:
May 9 St. Petersburg, FL—Taste of Pinellas at Albert Whitted Park

We theoretically study the stacked optical transients generated from a series of square pulses passing through a cold atomic ensemble. Using the hybrid analysis and fast Fourier transform, we identify the stacked coherent transients [Europhys. Lett. 4, 47 (1987) ] as optical precursors. With slow-light and electromagnetically induced transparency, we obtain nearly 700% transmitted intensity at the transient spikes resulting from the interference between the delayed main field and the stacked optical precursors.

Hinton Ampner
On one of those sultry, early May afternoons, when a storm seems imminent but never quite arrives, we drove over to Hinton Ampner, a National Trust property about 7 miles east of Winchester. It's a strange place, and one that the Trust seems to be fiddling about with constantly, so that it can seem like a stage-set at times. Which makes it a good place to wander about the grounds, casually photographing whatever happens to be lying around, on this occasion with a Ricoh GR.
The more I use it, the more I like the Ricoh GR as a carry-anywhere camera. The thing is so small and so light, you can actually forget which coat pocket it's in, not something you'd expect of an APS-C sensor camera. It seems to deliver high image quality effortlessly, and it's not surprising they're so hard to find second-hand. If you ever see one, just buy it and try it; you'll have no trouble re-selling if it's not right for you. I've completely got over the lack of a viewfinder, and the fixed 28mm-equivalent lens is a price worth paying for the overall compactness. It also gives the full depth of field that I like without having to think much about aperture (bokeh? ptah! I got hyperfocaleh!).
True, it's a wider angle of view than I would choose, and it can be frustrating see photographs that a longer lens or a zoom would suit better: the one below is an example. What I got is the top version; what I saw was the crop below, impossible to achieve with "foot zoom". Though I don't know that the full image isn't actually a better picture. It's funny: we like to think we choose our kit to suit our "vision", and I suppose the sort of photographer who carries a weighty bag of lenses everywhere may actually do so. Personally, I prefer to wander about as unencumbered as possible – a mere 245 grams, in this case – and find my vision will change, conveniently, to match whatever happens to be hanging round my neck. "Love the one you're with", I suppose.

That the vision adapts to the lens(es) available - that's a curious thing, isn't it? It matches my experience after I switched to a Nikon FX kit with old manual focus Nikkors. I carried only a 35mm and a 50mm for almost two years and resolved that if something didn't yield a picture with this kit, I'd just walk away and look for something else. In the beginning, this prospect bothered me a lot; to my big surprise, it never happened!
If you turn the argument around - that your vision is formed by the lenses at your disposal - it becomes interesting: Consider the "cover everything from 14mm to 400mm in my LowePro rucksack" kind of kit - what kind of vision does that form?!

It seems the brain-eye connection is trainable -- apparently, if you fit someone with glasses that invert everything, after a bit the brain adjusts so that "wrong way up" becomes "right way up. Take the glasses off, and everything is "wrong way up", even though it's now "right way up" (or at least, so I read somewhere once, a long time ago -- don't think it was on April 1st...).
I can't relate to those bag full o' lenses guys at all... A lot of them carry a tripod, too! And a flash... And filters... And reflectors... Must weigh a ton.

Tasty! Mind you, that's the wrong camera... Easily confused, but the GR and the GR1 are very different beasts, though even more confusingly the GRII is the latest version of the GR...

I like the first photo, with the jumble of the foreground being echoed by the wonderful clouds. Nice.
I went for the Nikon Coolpix A, tiny and brilliant. A few, the first three are in New Orleans, the others in Tucson:

Interesting, those have an almost "large format" feel of airiness, especially the last, which I like very much. Kit-wise, it's the same idea as the GR, of course -- DSLR sensor in a compact body, with a perfectly-matched fixed lens. Given the market failure of Fuji's offering (X-70) I suspect these will continue to be a tiny "niche", given the competition from phones, and the insistence of most camera-types on viewfinder, interchangeable lenses, zooms, etc. I do hope they don't go extinct...

Thanks. Yeah, "large format." Not sure how that came to be, but am trying to loosen up. Getting into tilts, out-of-focus main subject, etc. Of course, that it's being done consciously might cast a self-conscious, large format, hipster, artsy instagram filter thang. Oi!
Well, the Nikon Coolpix A is history, as might be the Ricoh GR II. So, there it does.

Good Boat Insurance
Boat insurance is what can provide the necessary compensation to boat owners for the repair or replacement of boat that is damaged or destroyed. Boats are fun and great for family recreation but they also are often the largest investment one can make outside of buying a home. This coverage is needed to help with any of the repair of damage that can often be prohibitively expensive. Basically anyone who owns and operates a covered water craft can greatly benefit from the protection that this coverage affords a policyholder. People who are in their boats often will be most well served from by the coverage inherent in this insurance policy. Obviously, a more frequently used boat is more likely to sustain accidental damage due to its regular utilization by an owner. Those who regularly take their boats out on the open water are far more likely to see the importance of the benefits that can be had with good boat coverage. However, all boat owners can be greatly served by the appropriate levels of coverage for their boats.
These insurance policies are actually not that complex. The buyer simply pays a regular monthly premium for the policy coverage and they are then protected from the risk and potential costs of handling a boat that accidentally is damaged or destroyed. Several different kinds of boat insurance are available for purchase, so riders can be confident that when they buy the policy that best fits their needs and budget, they will be well protected. Hull insurance is arguably the most important and certainly one of the most common kinds of insurance options obtained. This aspect of a policy covers the damage to a ship's hull structure and can often be increased to cover the engine and other components as well. Insurance can also be utilized to help pay for the costs of cleaning any fuel leaks, which is required for the mandated protection of the water environment. Many policies also will provide salvage assistance should the boat be damaged beyond repair. Not only will this help pay for the cost of salvaging a sunken boat, but will also help the policyholder to get in touch with the appropriate local business that can provide the appropriate service. And, in conclusion, there are those policies that are designed to meet the needs of those boat owners who utilize their watercraft for specific reasons, like fishing for example.
The largest benefit in obtaining this kind of insurance is the peace of mind inherent in having the financial security of being appropriately covered. Having good boat insurance coverage ensures that the boat owner will get back to the water as soon as is possible to resume the fun of owning a boat.
