I spent the weekend listening to country music singers sing about love. So many songs are about love … or the loss of it … or the want of it …. or the pain of it. Books are written about it. Unrequited love is as powerful … or I might even say more powerful … as the love that endures a thousand kisses. For something that is so powerful, and so much in the heart of every person alive, it can be so elusive. I did a google search to find out what is love? Psychology Today had this article of the same name which I think pretty much nails it. It's an uncontrollable, unpredictable force.
According to Google, what is love was the most googled term in 2012. So, if we all do it, feel it, receive it and think about it all the time, why are we so curious about what it is? I mean, if I'm craving chocolate, I know what it looks like, feels like and tastes like. Even a nun knows that love is undefinable.Love is more easily experienced than defined. As a theological virtue, by which we love God above all things and our neighbours as ourselves for his sake, it seems remote until we encounter it enfleshed, so to say, in the life of another – in acts of kindness, generosity and self-sacrifice. Love's the one thing that can never hurt anyone, although it may cost dearly. The paradox of love is that it is supremely free yet attaches us with bonds stronger than death. It cannot be bought or sold; there is nothing it cannot face; love is life's greatest blessing. ~~Catherine Wybourne is a Benedictine nun
As a teenage girl, I daydreamed about love. I had no idea what it was other than what I saw in the movies, but I longed for it. The songs of my youth stirred up natural desire and expectations to the point that it became an obsession. Of course, the flooding of hormones coursing through my body heightened my arousal for it, and it was complicated with romantic love's companion, the lusty desire for sex. I didn't know what that was either, and when I finally tasted it as a teenager, it was so much less than I ever imagined. What a disappointment! But, I didn't give up on love. In some ways, I thought sex was the ticket to love. I didn't realize at such a young age that love is separate from sex. It has nothing to do with it unless I made that choice to combine the two.
What is love but acceptance of the other, whatever he is. ~~ Anais Nin
A Star is Born was one of my favorite movies growing up, and I was drawn to the love between Norman and Esther. They loved each other, but he was troubled. He was unavailable due to his obsessions and addictions and his eventual jealousy of his precious Ester's success. Ironically, he had set her on that path to success. In the end, he took his own life because he couldn't be who he wanted to be with her, and, I believe, he was tired of hurting her. There were plenty of other ways, but he couldn't bring himself to see them. The movie never says he committed suicide. It looked like an accident. But, I believe that accident was intentional even if he wasn't doing it intentionally. That is the power of love. Esther always loved him … even through the pain. That, too, is the power of love.
Love is like a fever which comes and goes quite independently of the will. … there are no age limits for love. ~~ Stendhal
I've loved a few men in my life. I've been infatuated with a few. It's hard to tell the difference between love and infatuation in the initial stages. My sister introduced me to The Road Less Traveled when I was in my early 40s. This book defines love, in my opinion. Yes, it is a powerful feeling, and feelings can't be controlled. But, Dr. Peck says true love is an action. It is allowing someone to be who they are and have their own growth path whether or not that includes you. It doesn't have boundaries. It is a choice that we make to love somebody through it all, just like the romanticized version between Norman and Esther. I had this kind of love for my second husband. My friends kept asking me how I could love somebody that treated me so badly. I was set free when a friend of mine's therapist gave her permission to love somebody that was abusive but not seek a relationship out of it. I made a choice to love him from afar because I couldn't love him up close. Making that choice freed me from some of the emotional pain of letting him go. I prayed for him for years twice a day, and I pray for him still. I do love him. It's just not safe for us to be together. Does it hurt? Almost every day.
Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves. ~~ Albert Einstein
When I was young, I thought love was for the young. In the movies, I saw young, sexy bodies laughing, running on the beach and making love. I was astounded in my 30s after my first divorce that the feeling of love was not exclusively for the young. At middle age. love is as heady and intoxicating as it is when hormones and energy combine in the teenage years. It can cause you to think about the costs to chase it, and the costs get more and more expensive as you get older. Other people are involved, lifestyles are impacted, and money and financial security become issues in the pursuit of it. I was talking with a friend this weekend about a scandalous affair in her family. She said she was really angry at first, but, now that she has been married for awhile, she gets it. Marriage, fidelity and love don't always come together. In fact, often they do not. And, the costs multiply exponentially.Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams ~~ Lyrics from the song Amazed by Lonestar
When I think of love now, and when I hear love songs, I feel them from a different place than when I was young. When I was young, I was hopeful and expectant and enamored with the whole idea. Now, when I hear those songs, I feel a compassion for the lover singing the song for I also know there will be pain. Whether the relationship ends or not, there will be pain. Love is a cocktail of heady, lusty emotion and deep levels of longing and sadness. For, in reality, whether we are with our lover or not, we can never be one with them. Love seeks entwinement. That's why sex is so evocative. It is the closest we ever get to being one with a lover. The older I get, the more I realize that I am blessed when I love. It is not something that happens everyday. I believe it is a spiritual connection with another spiritual being that lasts beyond the grave. I believe Norman and Esther are locked in love as spirits in movie heaven. And, there are no costs in heaven. There is just pure love. I can't wait.
My favorite unrequited lover, Tim McGraw, and my favorite unrequited love song.

Although this texture is more than 30 years old, it is still one of the most specified architectural effects and has been used on high rises, sound walls, parking decks and even a boat ramp. These designs also work well when combined with artistic cut-outs like the transportation graphic shown on our Art page.

Targeted audience...
Is it important?
Yep...You're in the right place and you're going to learn how to do keyword research for your website! 🙂
If you're building your website, your audience is very important for you.
If you're building a blog or an online business - you don't want random people to visit your website.
To have a successful blog or online business you must have a targeted audience.
Success- meaning in terms of targeted audience visiting your site and are interested in the products you are promoting.
That's a great question...
You do have a chance to convert anyone who visits your site because it will depend on how great your copy or sales page on the product you are promoting.
In order to drive targeted audience to your website, you need to work on your keyword research.
There are a lot of different methods of doing or learning how to do a keyword research for your website.
One way is using a keyword research tool.
SerpStat is an affordable and effective method in doing a keyword research.
Below is a tutorial from SerpStat and you'll learn how to do keyword research using SerpStat.
By the end of this posts, you can check out our "Keyword Research Checklists: 12 Methods for Effective Keyword Research!"
- The keyword they are demonstrating has the intent to "buy, if you are looking to research for a keyword it's always good to know or guess the intention of your target audience.
- Look at the four blocks of metrics below the "Overview" text and you'll get an immediate idea about the keyword you are looking for - in this example, he is searching for the keyword "buy a car".
Here are the four blocks of metrics:
#1 Search Volume
- You have the "Search Volume" where it shows how many times the keyword has been searched for a particular month or a specific country.
- In this screenshot, it shows the country where you are trying to search for that keyword and you can select another country you prefer by clicking the dropdown menu.
#2 Competition
- If you are interested in knowing the level of competition in domains regarding Google Advertising for the given keyword on a scale of 1-100% - you can see it in the "Competition" block metrics.
- A higher number means higher competition for that specific keyword.
- In the screenshot above your "CPC" or cost-per-click is shown in an average- meaning this will be the amount of money you would spend if you bid on this keyword for ads.
#4 Keyword Difficulty
- The last block metrics "keyword difficulty" -this is where you can evaluate the level of competition for organic search.
- 0-20 is easy, 21-40 is medium, 41-60 is difficult, 61-100 is very difficult
Organic Keywords
- You can check out a list of phrase match keywords in the "Organic Keywords" wherein all the words you are searching for are included in other forms.
- This will be very useful to see what other phrases or words your keyword is being searched for.
Ads Keywords
- You can also check out what other phrases your keyword is being used in Ads or PPC campaigns.
Keyword Trends
- This is a cool way to skip switching to google trends and just look at the google trends directly inside SerpStat's keyword trends.
Keyword difficulty explained:
- If you saw the levels of keyword difficulty on the previous step you'll know that the keyword chosen is a difficult keyword to rank for.
- The table shows the top 10 url pages that rank for the keyword you typed.
- On the table above you'll also see four block metrics, Serpstat Trust Rank, Serpstat Page Rank, External Backlinks, and Referring Domains - the higher the trust rank and backlinks the harder it is to rank for that keyword.
- The other metrics highlighted above is not as important as the other four metrics: Number of main pages in SERP, Domains with the keyword in title, and Pages with a keyword in the title - this is mainly metrics that shows exact keywords are being used in main pages, in their domains and title pages. (the higher the number the harder it is to rank for that keyword)
Competitors in organic search:
- The next table in the overview page is the "Competitors in organic search" - this is not the websites that are ranking for the keyword you entered but this are URLs that rank for the phrase exact match in your "Organic Keywords" table.
- The important metrics in the "Competitors in organic search" is "All Keywords" and "Common Keywords"
- All Keywords shows the number of keywords the domain is ranking for.
- Common Keywords is showing the number of phrase match keywords for the main keyword you are searching.
Competitors Graph:
- Competitors graph shows how closely related the URLs in the "Competitors in organic search" are.
Competitors in ads:
- This is basically the same lists in the Competitors in organic search but this is URLs that are using the highest number of phrase match keywords in ads.
Ads examples:
- Here you can see how the ads descriptions are being used and the pages that are being used to target the keyword you are searching.
- Although this may not be of importance to you in the beginning stage of building your WordPress website you can use this as a reference if in case you'll be doing any ads targeting for your website or product promotions.
SEO Research > Keyword Selection:
- In the SEO Research page > Keyword Selection you'll see a list of phrase match keywords and you can also check out result in other countries by clicking the tabs with flags.
- You do have the option to filter the result, it wasn't shown in this video but it was explained in other tutorials. Just select the filter you want and click apply filter.
- If you want to work on a spreadsheet you can do so by clicking export.
SEO Research > Related Keywords:
- In Related Keywords section, you'll get lists of keywords that don't have the exact keyword you are searching for but are related to the keyword you are searching.
- If you are looking for other keywords search terms that your audience is trying to look for - they suggest you check "Related Keywords" first.
- In "Connection Strength" you'll learn how many pages are ranking for the keyword you are searching - so you can see how relevant the keywords to your audience.
SEO Research > Search Suggestions:
- Search suggestions are the same as the google suggestions - and you'll get every possible search suggestion for your keyword search.
- You can also click the filters in blue boxes that you think your audience will be interested in.
- Another cool feature about Serpstat is the option to show search suggestions in the form of questions only. All this question suggestions comes from what your audience is looking for and typing in search engines.
- This will be a great idea for contents and idea for keywords to target.
SEO Research > Top Pages:
- This shows top pages that rank highest for the phrase match keywords - this is not the same as the organic search lists because Serpstat is looking at the whole website but in top pages, serpstat is looking at pages only.
- In this section, you can also see the number of social shares and potential traffic.
SEO Research > Competitors:
- In this section of SEO Research > Competitors - you have an expanded lists of top competitors for the keyword.
PPC Research > Keyword Selection:
- In here you'll see phrase match keyword that is being used for ads and also you'll see information about the keywords like search volume, cost-per-click.
- You can also see ads examples, what page they are using for that keyword, what ads description they are using, and title of the ad page.
PPC Research > Competitors:
- This is the same on the overview page - this is a list of competitors who are doing ads campaign for the keyword you are searching.
PPC Research > Ads Examples:
- This is where you get a list of pages that are targeting the phrase match keywords.
- You can click the keywords and analyze the keywords that specific page are targeting - which you can also use for your own ads.
PPC Research > Ads Research:
- This is used for PPC ads as well but instead of pages, you have a list of campaigns which you can use to analyze keywords used.
- All of the PPC Research section is useful if you're going to do any PPC campaign for the keyword you are targetting.
SERP Analysis> Top by Keyword:
- This section basically shows you on one page the top 10 pages and competitors who rank highest on the phrase match keywords.
- You also have top 100 domains who rank for that keyword.
- Also, if you have a link to google results (organic search results) if you want to see how the keywords look like.

TLC-NJ Pedal for Preservation 2016
If you have the means, please consider this opportunity to get the family out on the trail. As off road cyclists, we often benefit from the land preserved by this organization. They also help counties and townships develop master plans for recreation and land use. Your participation helps to support their operations and show how appropriate off road cycling is for public land.
5th Annual Pedal for Preservation
Saturday, June 18, 2016
Cyclists of all ages and abilities are invited to hit the trail and help raise money to preserve and protect New Jersey's land and water resources. The Pedal for Preservation is ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Participants are urged to ask friends and family to sponsor their ride.
The Land Conservancy hosts New Jersey's Premier Rail Trail Ride — an off road biking experience on a relatively flat tree-canopied trail, ideal for both avid cyclists and casual riders to explore. This acclaimed route traverses forest, farms, and parkland alongside the South Branch of the Raritan River and through small towns in Morris and Hunterdon counties. The trail surface is natural dirt and crushed stone. There are also hike/walk options for non-cyclists.
What kind of bike is best for the trail?
fat tire, hybrid, cyclo-cross, mountain bikes, off-road, and comfort bikes work well. The trail is natural and gravel surfaced so road bikes are not recommended.
I only have a road bike but I'd love to join you. Can you help?
Marty's Reliable Cycle has a limited number of bikes available for rental with advanced payment. Contact Rhonda at the Conservancy and she'll help you out.
What if it rains?
The ride will be held rain or shine.
What if I can't make it, can I get a refund?
All fees and donations are non-refundable.
Can my kids ride alone?
An adult parent or guardian must accompany each rider younger than 18.
What about tricycles?
No trikes or training wheeled bicycles are allowed.
Do I need to wear a helmet?
Helmets are required.

We at MDG know that our kids' bathrooms can be scary places. But with the right decorating—and chores!—we can make them inviting spaces to get squeaky clean. Bathrooms are quick to get cluttered so organization is key. Plenty of storage for all bath time fun will keep things going smoothly and prevent slip-related injuries. Best of all, you can change the entire look of a bathroom with just a few quick paint jobs, hanging new art work, and a crisp shower curtain. Below are some of MDG's favorite components of a kid's bathroom.
1) A step stool. A sturdy wooden version with no-slip grips will stay put while fold-up designs tuck away when not in use.
2) Towels and rugs and robes, oh my! Give slippery feet and soapy hands something soft and colorful to dry off with.
3) Tubs and baskets. Tall and deep tubs are perfect for storing toys and extra towels, bottles of bubble bath and shampoos. They will keep the bathroom a bit more clutter-free.
4) Art work and a fun shower curtain. Let those personalities shine through and give the kiddos something to look at during bath time.
5) Organizers. Use individual mason jars or silverware drawer organizers for toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss.
6) Toys and fun soaps. Need we say more?

Pet dental care: Does your pet need a dental checkup?
February is National Pet Dental Health Month, an important reminder that your pet's dental health plays a major role in his or her overall health. But how often does your pet really need a dental exam and professional teeth cleaning - and what exactly does it involve?
Below we provide an overview of pet dental care for dogs and cats - including answers to frequently asked questions.
How often should my pet have a dental checkup?
The American Animal Hospital Association recommends regular oral exams and dental cleanings for all dogs and cats. Your pet's teeth and gums should be examined at least once a year by a veterinarian, ideally during your pet's annual wellness checkup. Your veterinarian will check for early signs of problems - such as tooth decay and gum disease - and may recommend a professional teeth cleaning. Depending on the health of your pet, your veterinarian may recommend a teeth cleaning anywhere from every six months to every two years.
What happens during the teeth cleaning process?
Dental cleanings for pets are performed under general anesthesia. This makes it possible for your veterinarian to thoroughly and safely clean the teeth with minimal pain and stress to your pet.
Teeth are cleaned with a scaler that removes plaque and tartar, cleans under the gum line and on all sides of each tooth. After teeth are cleaned they are polished to create a smooth surface that's more resistant to plaque buildup. Depending on your pet's oral health, the veterinarian may also want to take dental x-rays, order bloodwork and do minor oral surgery, such as extractions, if needed.
How long does a professional teeth cleaning take?
A professional teeth cleaning in the veterinarian's office usually takes about an hour. If your pet needs to have any teeth extracted or other minor surgery, it may take up to a few hours. Most pets go home the same day of the procedure, but may feel a bit groggy for the rest of the day due to the anesthesia. Most pets return to their normal diet within 12 to 48 hours after their dental cleaning or procedure.
How much does it cost?
Professional teeth cleaning can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over $1,000, depending on the type of treatment your pet needs. Other factors that can impact cost include x-rays, oral surgery and any prescribed medications, such as antibiotics. Many veterinary offices offer dental cleaning discounts during Dental Health Month and other times of the year.
What can I do to help keep my pet's teeth healthy?
Here are three ways you can help keep your pet's teeth and gums healthy between professional teeth cleanings:
- Gently brush your pet's teeth with a soft toothbrush and pet-specific toothpaste a few times a week
- Offer your pet dental treats and flexible chew toys to help remove plaque buildup
- Keep pets up-to-date on preventive checkups with their veterinarian
Dental health is an important part of your pet's overall health. If you notice any symptoms that may indicate poor dental health, contact your veterinarian immediately. These symptoms may include bad breath, bleeding gums, discolored, loose or broken teeth, and pain or swelling around your pet's mouth.
Keep in mind that you can use your CareCredit credit card for both services and products at participating veterinary practices. Use our handy Acceptance Locator to find a veterinarian near you that accepts CareCredit.

text: Mechanism of cardiovascular disease benefit of glucagon-like peptide 1 agonistsReed, Josh; Kanamarlapudi, Venkateswarlu; Bain, StephenCardiovascular Endocrinology & Metabolism: March 2018 - Volume 7 - Issue 1 - p 18–23 doi: 10.1097/XCE.0000000000000147 Review articles Free Abstract Author InformationAuthors Article OutlineOutline Article MetricsMetrics Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)-based therapies reduce hyperglycaemia in type 2 diabetes. Diabetes cardiovascular comorbidity remains prevalent, although current treatments are effective at reducing hyperglycaemia. GLP-1 exerts specific actions on the cardiovascular system in both healthy individuals and patients with cardiovascular pathology, and GLP-1 therapies have improved the cardiovascular profile of diabetic patients. GLP-1 exerts its action by binding to its receptor (GLP-1 receptor) at the cell surface. Mechanistically, it is not clear how GLP-1 therapies exert beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. It is difficult to arrive at any conclusions on the ability of GLP-1 receptor agonism to reduce cardiovascular disease from animal/human studies because of varying experimental designs. This review highlights recent findings from long-term human GLP-1 therapy studies, and summarizes postulated mechanisms as to how GLP-1 receptor agonism may alleviate cardiovascular disease. School of Medicine, Institute of Life Science, Swansea University, Swansea, UK Correspondence to Stephen Bain, FRCP, School of Medicine, Institute of Life Science, Swansea University, Singleton Park, Swansea SA2 8PP, UK Tel: +44 1792 602205; fax: +44 1792 602148; e-mail: email@example.com Received November 2, 2017 Accepted December 2, 2017 Abstract Acknowledgements Conflicts of interest References Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic complex multifactorial disease with an incompletely understood aetiology and pathogenesis 1,2. The majority of T2D patients are overweight (60–90% in western countries), implying that diets involving excessive nutrient consumption cause disease pathogenesis 3. However, this does not explain how individuals with a BMI of less than or equal to 25 develop T2D and the majority of overweight individuals remain disease free 2,4. Interestingly, ∼50% of T2D patients are not overweight in Japan 5. It is also noteworthy that overweight patients have been reported to have a lower mortality rate because of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than normal-weight patients, termed 'the obesity paradox' 6. The obesity paradox implies that the diabetic phenotype promotes CVD independent of patient BMI. Despite current treatments being effective at reducing hyperglycaemia, diabetes cardiovascular (CV) comorbidity remains prevalent, and therefore novel therapies are desirable: ∼75% of diabetic patients die from CVD 7. Evidence suggests that glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) exerts specific actions on the cardiovascular system (CVS) in both healthy individuals and patients with CV pathology, and GLP-1 therapies have improved the CV profile of diabetic patients 8,9. The best-characterized function of GLP-1 is its promotion of the incretin effect 9. The incretin effect is reduced in T2D – incretin hormones account for less than 20% of the insulin release after glucose ingestion in T2D patients compared with 70% in nondiabetic individuals 10. The current consensus is that GLP-1 levels are normal in T2D, but its action is reduced 11. GLP-1 has a very short half-life (∼1.5 min) because of its rapid proteolytic degradation in the plasma by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) enzymes 11. The DPP-IV resistant GLP-1 analogues are effective at reducing hyperglycaemia in T2D patients as they prolong the GLP-1 response because of their extended half-lives 8. However, GLP-1 also has extrapancreatic functions (Fig. 1) 9. Importantly, GLP-1 therapies induce weight loss, which is associated with reducing CVD in diabetic and nondiabetic patients 8,9. GLP-1-based therapies also appear to exert other specific actions in diabetes 9. Fig. 1 GLP-1 induces its effects by acting as an agonist to the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R). The effects induced by GLP-1 vary in different tissues as GLP-1R is coupled to a range of intracellular signalling pathways in different tissues, each of which promotes the desired physiological response elicited by receptor activation 12,17. GLP-1 also indirectly affects organs through the insulin secretion that it promotes – ∼28% of the postprandial insulin released into circulation is because of the action of this hormone 13,18. GLP-1R knockout and knockdown studies in mice have shown that the ability of GLP-1 to act as an incretin hormone is dependent on the presence of its receptor in islet β-cells 19,20. GLP-1R is a class B G-protein-coupled receptor, consisting of a large hydrophilic N-terminal extracellular domain, seven hydrophobic transmembrane α-helices (TM1-7) joined by three hydrophilic extracellular loops (ECL1-3) and three intracellular loops (ICL1-3), and an intracellular C-terminal domain. The GLP-1R C-terminal domain interacts with heterotrimeric G-proteins that consist of α, β and γ subunits that activate downstream signalling pathways upon agonist (GLP-1) binding (Fig. 2) 17,21–24. Fig. 2 There are currently five licenced GLP-1-based therapies, one of which has two modes of delivery (exenatide as twice-daily Byetta or once-weekly Bydureon) 25, and semaglutide is being considered by regulatory authorities 26. These have differing levels of efficacy on glycaemic control and weight loss, perhaps because of differing GLP-1R activation of these drugs – for example, because of different penetration of the central nervous system 27. Both animal and human studies generally suggest that GLP-1 therapies exert beneficial CV actions 9. Chronic GLP-1R agonism in rodents was reported to reduce blood pressure (BP) and prevent hypertension 28–31. However, acute GLP-1 infusion in rodents increases heart rate and BP 9,32. Human short-term clinical trials have reported conflicting findings as acute GLP-1 therapy has had no effect on BP and heart rate, or increased both 9. GLP-1 analogue-based and DPP-IV inhibition-based therapies reduced plasma lipid levels in healthy and diabetic rodents, and the same therapies also had similar effects on T2D patients 9,33,34. However, one study found that exenatide treatment for 24 weeks had no effect on lipid profiles 35. Rodent in-vitro studies have reported vasorelaxant actions of GLP-1, and different studies postulated different mechanisms as to how this was achieved 9. In-vivo rodent studies have reported that GLP-1 induces vasodilation of certain blood vessels and promotes vasoconstriction of others, as well as improving endothelial function 9,36,37. Similarly, improved blood flow and endothelial function has been reported in diabetic individuals in response to acute GLP-1 therapies 9,38,39. Interestingly, exendin-4 treatment did not affect short-term triglyceride exposure-induced endothelial dysfunction in rat femoral artery, which suggests that the reported in-vivo beneficial actions of GLP-1 therapies on the endothelium likely occur by extracardiovascular GLP-1 signalling 40. Rodent and human studies have provided evidence that GLP-1 therapies have antiatherosclerotic actions and angiogenic effects 9,41,42. GLP-1 therapies have been reported to reduce levels of proinflammatory molecules (associated with atherosclerotic development) in patients 9, and one study reported that anti-inflammatory benefits persisted for 12 weeks in obese T2D patients after a single exenatide injection 43. Finally, GLP-1 treatments during rodent and human in-vitro/in-vivo studies have been reported to exert beneficial effects on the myocardium such as protection against diabetic cardiomyopathy 9. Long-term human studies have shown that chronic DPP-IV inhibition did not significantly confer any CV benefits 44,45. In contrast, chronic GLP-1-based treatments showed multiple CV benefits in diabetic patients 9. Four cardiovascular outcome trials have been reported for GLP-1 analogues: ELIXA 46, LEADER 47, SUSTAIN 6 26 and EXSCEL 48 trials have tested lixisenatide, liraglutide, semaglutide and exenatide, respectively. ELIXA showed no advantage over placebo in terms of influencing the primary outcome of a four-point major adverse cardiac event, which included CV mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke and hospital admission for unstable angina 46. The other cardiovascular outcome trials all used a three-point major adverse cardiac event primary end-point (excluding unstable angina); superiority was found for liraglutide and semaglutide (albeit not a prespecified analysis for semaglutide), but not for exenatide. All-cause mortality benefit was shown for liraglutide and exenatide, but not for semaglutide, although the latter agent was tested in a smaller study. The ELIXA population all had a CV event within 180 days of the study start, and it is reasonable to assume that the stability of their coronary lesions would have made any drug effect difficult to determine. Conversely, the EXSCEL study included 27% of patients at a much lower CV risk, which may have resulted in the marginal lack of statistical superiority. Examination of components of the primary end-point showed heterogeneity between the two trials that reported reduced CVD with GLP-1 analogues, with the LEADER superiority being driven by a significant reduction in CV mortality, whereas SUSTAIN 6 superiority was largely because of a reduction in nonfatal stroke. In both of these studies, the mechanisms by which these drugs reduced CV outcomes are elusive. A moderator analysis of the LEADER study suggests that the reductions in glycated haemoglobin, weight and systolic BP were insufficient to account for all of the benefits. Recently, an analysis of severe hypoglycaemia has also been shown not to influence the outcome. The slow separation of the event curves in the Kaplan–Meier plots from both LEADER and SUSTAIN 6 suggests an impact on the atherosclerotic process, which is in contrast to that observed with the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors 49. Mechanistically, it is not clear how GLP-1-based therapies exert beneficial effects on the CVS, but studies have suggested several pathways (Fig. 3). According to the postulated mechanisms, it appears that GLP-1 therapies mediate these effects directly and/or by promoting the incretin effect 2. By promoting the incretin effect, GLP-1-based therapies alleviate the potential of the diabetic phenotype to promote CVD by reducing hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia, as well as by improving blood flow systemically because of increasing vascular nitric oxide production 8,9. These therapies also appear to promote the effects by direct mechanisms as well 9. In addition, studies have found that GLP-1 therapies improve angiogenesis, reduce atherosclerosis progression, increase cardiac function and improve the prognosis of cardiac ischaemia by the incretin effect and extrapancreatic GLP-1R activity 8,9. Chronic GLP-1 therapies have also been reported to prevent hypertension, and evidence suggests that this was achieved by CV GLP-1R activity 9. Fig. 3 Currently, several studies are testing the chronic effects of other GLP-1 analogues 9. It is difficult to arrive at any conclusions on the conflicting findings on the ability of GLP-1-based therapies to reduce CVD from animal and human studies: animal species and trial design differed between animal studies, and trial design and cohorts varied between human studies. The notion that the 'inactive' forms of GLP-1 may have direct effects on the CVS warrants investigation 50. The effect of allosteric GLP-1R agonists (discussed in the study by Thompson and Kanamarlapudi 11) on the CVS is another area of future research. A better understanding of T2D aetiology/pathogenesis and how the disease phenotype promotes CVD, as well as further elucidation of GLP-1 activity/targets could provide better insight into the therapeutic potential of GLP-1R agonism to reduce T2D-associated CVD.

Emotional cords form energetic links between you and other people or situations.
Although some cords with children and spouses are appropriate,
most of the cords we have are unhealthy and create an unbalanced dependency
or codependency with other people.
Negative cords can form when we have traumatic experiences,
or from a sense of betrayal, guilt, blame, anger, depression,
or attachment of any kind. Because of its intimacy and intensity,
sexual interaction, even a deep kiss, results in being corded for seven years!
When a cord has formed between two people, energy flows between them
even if they are no longer in each other's lives or in physical proximity.
If negative emotional patterns are associated with that relationship, person,
or experience, your energy and life force can become drained and depleted,
keeping you stuck in patterns of the past.
Once your cords are cut through this process, you are free to reconnect with
those who are important to you! As a result, you can establish your current relationships
on a new and healthier level, with new energy and a new focus.
This session is free of charge.
I will suggest those who need this session.
You can ask me if you feel you need this.

Booster Seat Effectiveness Among Older Children: Evidence From Washington State
D. Mark Anderson, Lindsay L. Carlson, Daniel I. Rees
American Journal of Preventive Medicine
The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that children as old as 12 years use a booster seat when riding in motor vehicles, yet little is known about booster seat effectiveness when used by older children. This study estimated the association between booster use and injuries among children aged 8–12 years who were involved in motor vehicle crashes.

I've lived in Greenpoint, Brooklyn all my life. In 1976 I married my husband Mike, a Navy Vietnam Veteran. We had six children. And today we have five beautiful grandchildren. I love art, music, writing, seashores, candles, incense, creativity. But for many years I've been forced to focus on community health, environment, parks, and waterfront issues. As we became more involved in our community, we felt more and more that our family's multiple health issues were the result of community wide exposure to chemicals, sewage, garbage and so on. My family's medical health history reads like an Area 51 report. My sister and brother both have a congenital blood birth defect. And my world turned upside down when I began to have Lupus symptoms. I was the third in my building. My daughter is the fourth. My son and brother both have undiagnosed autoimmune diseases. And an exclamation mark was added to our concerns when my mother, father, and their dog died from brain disease. Because my husband & I have been so involved in the community's environmental issues, the things we love to do often get placed on hold. Therefore, every environmental marker used on Habitat Map to indicate environmental problems in Greenpoint, such as waste transfer stations, chemical plumes, sewage treatment, and so on, represents a doctors visit, symptom, disease, or sacrificed moment my family's experienced. This is the way the map looks through my eyes.

For this design, I began by sawing out the shape from a thick piece of sheet metal and stamped the back of it with my maker's mark. I hand-filed the edge to smooth out the circle shape. I measured and cut a piece of thick wire, shaped it into a circle that perfectly sits on top of the circle's edge, and soldered it closed as well as onto the circle metal. I, then, cut, filed, and shaped wire for the letter. I, carefully, placed and soldered the little pieces onto the thick sheet of metal, while assuring they stayed in place during the 'slippery' soldering process. The tiny flower detail I made by sawing out the shape from a piece of sheet metal and doming it to start shaping the flower. I hand-filed the piece to smooth it out. I melted a piece of metal into a ball and soldered it onto the middle of the flower. I, then, soldered the finished flower onto the top of the pendant, all the while playing a balancing act and making sure that the flower would not slip off before it soldered into place. When done with the front of the pendant, I cut, filed, and shaped a bail, as well as a small ring, soldered the bail to the back of the pendant, and the small ring through the bail. Once the soldering was complete, I tumbled the piece, for a substantial amount of time, until the perfect amount of strength and additional shine was reached. I, then, thoroughly hand-polished the entire piece. Finally, I attached the pendant to a fine chain that I finished off with a clasp, which I soldered closed, and added a dainty logo tag to.
Although it is a lengthy and messy process, the beautiful results makes it all worthwhile. As seen in the photos, this is a standout piece you will feel proud to show off.

Good morning everyone. It has been a while since I have been back and posted something but I have a nice topic to talk about. Fear, something all of us as quitters have experienced in our journey to get smoke free. As your quit date approaches you start getting anxious, scared, doubtful of whether I can do this, I am going to suffer, What if I can't etc all the fears and questions your smokers brain will bombard you with not only before but also during your quit. Lets look at fear as a acronym F.E.A.R = FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL let that sink in read it again !!
We have been lied to by the tobacco companies for years they present us with images that smoking is glamorous if we smoke their brand we will jet off to some island beach on a yaught, go racing in Monaco etc. what a load of rubbish. This is false if we smoke we are going to die, we are poisoning our bodies, we are going to huff and puff up stairs wheeze our way through the park and what do we do ? We let the fear that we can't quit the fear that we are not going to benefit from quitting the fear that well we are just not strong enough. I read my stats the other day over 7667 cigarettes not smoked well hell if I let my fear present me with false evidence appearing real and believed my smokers brain I would not be here today I would still be hiding behind my fears. Step up step out blast those fears into the past embrace the new non-smoker that you can and will become love life live it take it back from tobacco and enjoy every moment of freedom that you chose to deserve.
God bless

On June, 23-24th 2015 the foundation conducted – together with the authorities of Wola district – a two day design workshop entitled "Recreation zone in Józef Sowiński park in Wola". The workshop was dedicated to the students from the Stefan Bryła 24th Group of Schools in Warsaw.
The aim of the "PARKowanie" event was to conduct a workshop for the students of one of the schools from Wola and then to professionalise the results along with dissemination and promotion of the project among the inhabitants of Wola and the city of Warsaw.
The name "PARKowanie" (PARKing) is a word play. It can be perceived in several different ways. PARKowanie can mean spending time in the park, the process of stopping, which refers to relaxing on a lawn in a square or a park. PARKing means also each activity we can do in the park: running, walking, playing, relaxing, listening, looking, reading, tasting etc.
Maja Skibińska (The Department of Landscape Art at Warsaw University of Life Sciences), Marzena Popielarczyk MSc Eng (Werbena Art), and foundation's operations coordinator, Karolina Wlazło-Malinowska MSc Eng (The Department of Landscape Art at Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Sztuka w Mieście Foundation) were the consultants and leaders of the project.
Three project teams composed of students participated in the workshop. The teams consisted of the following members: team I (Marta Dąbrowska, Karolina Krępska, Ewa Kucharska, Katarzyna Rowicka, Elwira Zakrzewska) team II (Magda Błaszczyk, Filip Sieńczewski, Natalia Wądołkowska, Karolina Wrońska), team III (Patrycja Białowąs, Krystian Sikorski, Jakub Szałański, Artur Wyłupek).
The starting point for the workshop was a contest organised by the Wola Local Authorities in 2014, entitled "Shaping the recreation and leisure space in the south-western part of the gen. Józef Sowiński Park". The workshop focused around the winning project by Magda Błaszczyk (one of the attendees of the workshop) – her design became the inspiration for the workshop works.
Project teams prepared a design through 4 types of design exercises:
ACTIVITIES – What do we do in the park?
COMPOSITION – In search of the form of a square
THEME – Square's identity
FURNITURE CATALOGUE – Urban furniture for the square
The ideas the teams came up with were then presented in a form of drawings made by the painter Chris Hernandez.
Chris Hernandez
Born in 1974. Graduated from Southwest Texas State University, Magna Cum Laude. Studied metalwork and painting. Over the years he adapted a more narrative take on the paintings making geography, entropy, construction and deconstruction his main topics. Widely exhibited in USA and Poland.
The introduction of the element distinguishing the area in the form of a scaled urban furniture.
The division of the spatial development of the area into separate interior with green - trimmed hedges of varying heights.
Shaping the identity space using a common template - plant theme (flower and stem of the rose) - introduced its furnishings.
The use of triangular forms in shaping the composition of space and its equipment - for example wooden, triangular platform with seats.
The creation of the closed-alone hedges space, which will become a lonely bench. Place thoughtful, intimate meetings, hidden space.
Setting in the field easels, on which it will be possible to set your own canvas, blocks, boxes, drawing sheets.
Construction of the small stage - the platform, which is the counterbalance to the big amphitheater. It will be a space for small, impromptu speeches, and also a place where you can practice, sit, lie down, read a book.
Lay of the land fall in the form of a green wave sloping toward the lawn with wooden platforms. The wave can be used as a place of sitting, lying down, children's play area.
The unification of the elements spatial development by introducing an element of the illumination in the same color.
The creation of the zone - a fragment of the designed space - which will be embedded edible plants.

Let's start with a list and than some more info:
- Nivea 3 in 1 micellar cleansing water 200 ml
- Oriflame Sweden True perfection miracle perfecting serum 30ml
- P2 Sand style polish in shade 070 Pretty and 080 Lovely
- Essence Studio nails hardening nail base
- Essence frame4fame lash glue
- Essence eye blender brush
- Essence say NO to dark circles 30 bright rose
- Bourjois BB cream 8 in 1 shade 21 vanilla
- Ecotools bamboo blush brush
- Oriflame Sweden Professional Make-Up sponge
- Labello Soft Rose, Vitamin Shake and Lip Butter Original
- Make up Revolution London Salvation velvet lacquer in shade Keep lying for you
- Essence Come to town LE lipstick 02 Wrapped in pink
- Oriflame Sweden The ONE Power Shine lipstick in Trendy Berry
- Oriflame Sweden Giordani Gold Iconic lipstick in Satin Beige
For face I bought another Essence product, Say NO to dark circles under eye concealer and I really hoped this will help me with my dark colouring under my eyes. And well it did some, but it didn't do such a great job I could say this is worth the purchase. Also got this Bourjois BB cream on 50% sale at DM store and I must say I was really surprised this is quite covering and the shade is perfect for me too, just like the rest of my Bourjois foundations. So far I really like this and love to use it. From Oriflame Sweden I bought this professional makeup sponge and it's really soft and helps me with excess foundation, so that I have smooth skin and not patches where foundation stayed on the surface. It's quite a gentle little helper. Plus I traded something of mine for this new EcoTools blush brush, but I haven't used it yet. I only tried how dense and soft it is and I am really excited to start using it :) But I think I will end up using it for powder more than for blush, as it looks big enough.
And now the part where I buy way too many products for lips :) I have used 30% discount at DM store for Labello lip balms and have bought Lip butter original, Soft Rose and Vitamin shake. I have already had at numerous occasions the last two and I keep repurchasing, especially the Soft Rose one, as it actually also helps my lips, nourishes them well and makes them really soft. The new addition is my fourth lip butter, so when I saw this one at the store, I simply couldn't say no. The only one that I currently don't have is Raspberry, but I didn't like the scent of that one and I don't think I will be buying that one.
As for lipsticks and lipglosses I have treated myself with some Makeup Revolution London Salvation velvetlacquer in shade Keep lying for you and I must say, this is an amazing shade and I really love wearing it! Somewhat similar but more pinky and less purply is this new shade by Essence, from their limited edition Come to town in shade 02 Wrapped in pink. Not such a me colour but when I saw it in stores I really couldn't resist :P Plus I bought two new lippies from Oriflame Sweden. One is by Giordani Gold Iconic lipstick and it's in shade Satin Beige. Such a gentle shade and gives such lovely finish I would want to wear this anywhere really. Whether it's a party or dinner for two or just work.. I can't wait to buy another lipstick from the Giordani Gold range. The last one is by The ONE Power shine lipstick and it's in shade Trendy berry. This is my second lipstick from this range and I really thought this could be very suitable for the festive season ahead as it's slightly red but shimmery and so perfect for parties :)

Thanks for reading!

Do you have a hobby?
My hobbies have always been creative involving art and crafts, music, sewing and knitting. Not forgetting my most wonderful creations -my three beautiful, talented children!!!
I find that doing something productive, in which you create something that you can see, touch or hear at the end of it, is incredibly beneficial to your well-being.
When I get a bit down in the dumps I create.
Having rows of beautiful beads I've made, or a new sewing kit or learning a new chord on my guitar makes me feel really good about myself again.
You don't have to be Van Gogh, Madonna or Kirsty Allsop to be creative!
Everyone has creativity somewhere inside them, but sometimes you just need a
little encouragement.
So why not try one of my Creative Workshops? It might just be what you need.
In the meantime, tell me what makes you happy either below this post or on my facebook page

In our blog post from last year, we summarised what to expect from the Solvency II regulatory framework review to be performed by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA). Now, EIOPA has released their final report containing their second set of advice regarding this review.
Advice from EIOPA
The report is extensive and the final advice consists of, but is not limited to, possible areas of simplification, technical corrections and calibrations to be revised. Below, we will outline a small selection of interesting highlights from the report.
- EIOPA suggests on revised calibrations within the calculations of e.g. non-life premium risk and reserve risk
- The existing model for estimating interest rate risk in the Standard Formula underestimates risks in an environment with negative interest rates. Therefore, EIOPA proposes implementation of a relative shift-approach to the modelling of interest rate risk. According to tests performed by EIOPA this change would affect a life undertaking with a drop in solvency ratio of 14 percentage points.
- A harmonisation of the treatment of own-funds items between Solvency II and the banking frameworks is proposed. For example, this proposal includes permission of partial write-down of restricted tier 1 capital instruments when the 75% SCR and MCR breaches have not been triggered
- A number of simplifications are proposed, including
- removal of the "disability that lasts 10 years" scenario to simplify the standard formula within mass-accident risk
- simplified calculations with regards to man-made fire risk
- simplified calculations of the counterparty default risk, regarding e.g. risk mitigation techniques, calculation of the loss-given default and calculations of type 1 exposures.

Professional Scrum with Team Foundation Server 2010
I own a copy of "Professional Scrum with Team Foundation Server 2010". I would like to download the code samples for this book and follow the book with the code samples. I do have Visual Studio 2010 Professional on my computer, but I do not have a local copy of Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 on my computer.
Can you please give me step by step instructions on how I can gain access to an online hosted TFS 2010, copy the books' code samples to that hosted TFS 2010, and then connect my local Visual Studio 2010 Professional to the code on the hosted TFS 2010? Thank you.
