Family Check-up for Children
The Family Check-up (FCU) for Children is a strengths-based, family-centred intervention that motivates parents to use parenting practices to support child competence, mental health and risk reduction.
The intervention has two phases. The first is a brief, three-session programme that involves three one-hour sessions: interview, assessment and feedback.
The second phase is 'Everyday Parenting', a family-management training programme that builds parents' skills in positive behaviour support, healthy limit-setting and relationship-building. As a health-promotion and prevention strategy, phase two of the FCU can be limited to one to three Everyday Parenting sessions. As a treatment approach, phase two can range from three to 15 Everyday Parenting sessions. The first phase may be followed by additional community referral services as indicated.
The intervention model is tailored to address the specific needs of each family and can be integrated into a variety of service settings, including schools, primary care and community clinics. Although providers implementing the intervention are typically Masters-level therapists or social workers, bachelor and paraprofessional/non-bachelor-level providers, with the appropriate consultation and supervisory support, may also implement the FCU.
A component of Family Check-up for Children seeks to improve children's outcomes by improving the quality of interparental relationships (IPR).
EIF Programme Assessment
Family Check-up for Children has evidence of a short-term positive impact on child outcomes from at least one rigorous evaluation.
What does the evidence rating mean?
Level 3 indicates evidence of efficacy. This means the programme can be described as evidence-based: it has evidence from at least one rigorously conducted RCT or QED demonstrating a statistically significant positive impact on at least one child outcome.
This programme does not receive a rating of 4 as it has not yet replicated its results in another rigorously conducted study, where at least one study indicates long-term impacts, and at least one uses measures independent of study participants.
What does the plus mean?
The plus rating indicates that this programme has evidence from at least one level 3 study, along with evidence from other studies rated 2 or better.
A rating of 2 indicates that a programme has a medium-low cost to set up and deliver, compared with other interventions reviewed by EIF. This is equivalent to an estimated unit cost of £100–£499.
Child outcomes
According to the best available evidence for this programme's impact, it can achieve the following positive outcomes for children:
Preventing crime, violence and antisocial behaviour
Reduced disruptive behaviour (boys only) - based on study 1
Improved behaviour - based on study 1, study 2
Reduced defiant behaviour - based on study 2
This programme also has evidence of supporting positive outcomes for couples, parents or families that may be relevant to a commissioning decision. Please see About the evidence for more detail.

About the programme
What happens during delivery?
How is it delivered?
- FCU is delivered over nine sessions of 50-60 minutes' duration each by one FCU provider (often a therapist or social worker).
What happens during the intervention?
The FCU is delivered in two phases. The first is a brief, three session intervention based on motivational interviewing. The three meetings are conducted by a professional therapist in the home. The sessions consist of a one-hour assessment session, an interview session, and a feedback session.
- The first session involves a practitioner who reviews and discusses concerns with the caregiver, focusing on family issues that are most critical to the child's wellbeing. Specifically, the interview covers the parent's goals and concerns within the family.
- The assessment engages family in a variety of in-home videotaped tasks of parent-child interactions, while caregivers complete questionnaires about their own, their child's and their family's functioning. During this session, the practitioner completes ratings of parent involvement and supervision.
- The third meeting is a feedback session where the parent consultant can summarise results of the assessment and work with the parent to assess his/her motivation and willingness to change problematic behaviour. This final session also includes an overview of the behaviours and/or practices that need additional attention. At that time, parents are offered a maximum of six follow-up sessions to continue improving their parenting practices and family management skills. Two annual follow-ups are conducted to assess progress over the long-term.
- The second phase involves the delivery of Everyday Parenting, a family management training program that builds parents' skills in positive behaviour support, healthy limit-setting and relationship-building. As a health-promotion and prevention strategy, phase two of the FCU can be limited to one to three Everyday Parenting sessions. As a treatment approach, phase two can range from 3 to 15 Everyday Parenting sessions. The first phase may be followed by additional community referral services as indicated.
What are the implementation requirements?
Who can deliver it?
- It is delivered by one therapist or social worker who is qualified to QCF-7/8 level and has received 35 hours of programme training. With the appropriate consultation and supervisory support, a paraprofessional/non-bachelor-level practitioner also may implement the programme.
What are the training requirements?
- The practitioners have 35 hours of training. Booster training of practitioners is recommended.
How are the practitioners supervised?
- It is recommended that programme practitioners are supervised by one host-agency supervisor with QCF-7/8 level qualifications (who receives standard practitioner programme training, with an additional 28 to 45 hours of additional training support) and one programme developer supervisor also qualified to QCF.
What are the systems for maintaining fidelity?
- Training manual
- Other printed material
- Other online material
- Video or DVD training
- Face-to-face training
- Supervision
- Accreditation or certification process
- Booster training
- Fidelity monitoring
Is there a licensing requirement?
There is no licence required to run this programme.
How does it work? (Theory of Change)
How does it work?
- Family Check-up is based on social learning principles that assume that some parenting behaviours inadvertently encourage non-compliant behaviours in toddlerhood.
- Parents learn positive behaviour support strategies to help parents proactively structure family situations to promote children's self-regulatory development and minimise problem behaviour.
- In the short term, parents learn positive strategies for engaging with their child.
- In the longer term, children are less likely to engage in antisocial and risky behaviour.

Hi everyone,
I just joined this forum a couple minutes ago as I was looking for some information on the treatment of TMAU. I've known about the possible connection between TMAU and heart disease for a while, but now that I found this forum, I thought I would post this. I can't say this is for sure, but I just wanted to post some potentially good news about TMAU, especially since all we ever hear is bad news (yeah, we stink, we get it, but otherwise our health is supposedly unaffected).
Well, I'm really interested in diet and health, and I've known for a long time that scientists have found a connection between heart disease and the odorless compound most peoples' bodies make from choline (the odorless compound is trimethylamine oxide or TMAO). Here is one article discussing the connection between TMAO and atherosclerosis, with more TMAO leading to more atherosclerosis. http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic ... rt_disease
Here is an excerpt from the article:
"The researchers found 18 small molecules associated with fat buildup in the arteries. One of the best predictors turned out to be a by-product made when gut bacteria break down a fat called phosphatidylcholine (also known as lecithin).
"The more of this by-product, called trimethylamine N-oxide or TMAO, a person or mouse has in the blood, the higher the risk of getting heart disease, the researchers found.
"Gut bacteria are actually middlemen in TMAO production. The microbes convert lecithin to a gas that smells like rotten fish. Then an enzyme in the liver changes the foul-smelling gas to TMAO."
Anyway, as you all may know, our bodies do NOT produce this odorless compound from choline. Our bodies are unable to fully digest the choline into the odorless compounds.
My point is that I do think it's interesting that a compound our bodies can't produce (TMAO) is linked to heart disease.
Maybe that's why this genetic mutation has stuck around for so many years despite being such a stinky annoyance! Less heart disease means more opportunity to reproduce (as long as we don't put off our partners with our smell, hehe).
Anyway, just thought I'd share for some potentially good news about our condition.
Other people get heart disease from eating too much choline, and we may merely stink.

Nike to Release Air Jordan Retro 'Sport Blue' Pack in August
Nike is ready to release an Air Jordan retro 'Sport Blue' pack in August. With so many sneakers released from Jordan Brand, this pack will be highly sought after, although there's no official word on the price point yet.
Members of the Jordan Flight Club received news first of the 'Sport Blue' shoes and shared it with us common folk. There will be an Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 14 released in black, grey, white and photo blue color blocking. According to Kustoo, we should see these kicks in August 2014.
The Air Jordan 3 rocks a predominately black leather upper with accents of sport blue on the inner lining, eyelets, tongue branding and outsole. The leather looks amazing on the this retro Air Jordan 3.
The Air Jordan 6 features the white leather upper with blue hue on the midsole. We see black as the third accent color to bring a subtle contrast. Lastly, the Air Jordan 14 is dressed up in the wolf grey nubuck upper. We find minimal blue on this sneaker, which is a good look.
What are your thoughts on this Air Jordan 'Sport Blue' pack releasing in August? Leave a comment below.

Re: Developing Leadership Qualities as an INFP
No idea about articles or books, but we have something better: A crow. My advice is that you use the INFP strength, which is loyalty and trust, to encourage those whom you lead. Work on things that you aren't good at and use them with your strengths to provide a good fallback.

Re: Developing Leadership Qualities as an INFP
A crow says either you are a leader, or you are not. You could do what almost everybody else does, and fake it, but is that the same?
Observe Donald Trump, in minute detail, and see what you can see.
He is the real thing. Not everybody likes that. but whatever else he may be, he is a leader.
In purely practical terms, the more intimately you can get to know yourself, the better at everything you will be.
Leadership included.

Then check these arrays from >time to time and call appropriate finalization functions for objects >that have been reclaimed. That is an interesting idea -- but it won't work, because the destructor must be called _before_ the object is destroyed by the system. For example, one of my objects maintains the table of contents for a document, and when the object becomes unreachable, it is printed to a file as HTML. Obviously, the object still has to exist at this point, and retain all attributes. However, your idea of using weak arrays may be useful after all, if I can create a 'symbol' for the object, and put that into the weak array: the symbols contains lists of symbols, representing objects the object depends on. The collector will now collect symbols, and by checking the weak array I can execute destructors, and then release it for collection (by removing it from a corresponding 'strong' array). The problem is: it will be slower than reference counting, and not be entirely synchronous. The advantage is it will finalise unreachable objects with circular references. Also, reference counting can be added anyhow, to make non-circular finalisation synchronous. Hmm.

Wine Vitals:
|Houmoed Chenin Blanc
|100% Chenin blanc
|Tasting Notes:
|Rich, tropical notes, butterscotch with hints of ripe raisin-ey botrytis notes.
|Rich with restraint of fruit. The palate has oodles of yellow stone fruit and softly textured.
|Intense appearance for a white wine, yellow – green core with high viscosity
|Game fish , cheese and poultry
|Stellenbosch, Bottelary Hills
|Shows a style of Chenin blanc that can't be replicated anywhere else in the world; rich and dense with lovely balance. Distinct in its style and truly a South African beauty.
|Not needed
|Serving Temp:
|Serve and keep it cold, let it warm up and develop in the glass
|Louis Roos, cellarmaster at Mooiplaas works closely with his cousin and assistant winemaker Dirk (who incidentally made the red wine in this month's selection…coincidence?). When you taste this wine, it might not be all too surprising to you to find out that Louis is a devout Bonsai enthusiast. When he isn't pruning tiny trees, or medium sized vines, he also enjoys bird-watching, reading and walking his two dogs. We don't know him so well but all of this seems to shine through in the Houmoed Chenin.
Louis' high school aptitude test had him pinned as a Vet.
|Not just any old farm:
|Notably, Mooiplaas is operated as a Trust and very involved in conservancy efforts. (Not all Roos's are automatically hired ;), they actually do have to interview for the job). On a more serious note, Mooiplaas is also a Private Nature Reserve situated in the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom, one of only six plant kingdoms in the world. Although it is the smallest, the Cape Floral Kingdom is the richest plant kingdom, with 9600 plant species – more than in the United Kingdom's Kindgom! Quoting UNESCO: "The Cape Floral Region represents less than 0.5% of the area of Africa, but is home to nearly 20% of the continent's flora. Its plant species diversity, density and endemism are among the highest worldwide, and it has been identified as one of the world's 18 biodiversity hot-spots.
In 1995, Tielman and his wife Janine registered the Mooiplaas Private Nature Reserve on the estate, dedicating it to the conservation of endangered fynbos species. Tielman is chairman of the Bottelary Hills Renosterveld Conservancy of which the Mooiplaas nature reserve forms part. The whole area falls within the Cape Winelands Biosphere Reserve, which forms part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves.
|Why we picked it:
|Dryland. Stop. Bushvines. Stop. Chenin. Stop. Words we would have wanted to see in a telegraph back in the days of telegraphs. Looking into the future probably the future of SA's global wine presence and certainly the playground of some of today's great like Eben Sadie. Watch the Chenin space. The varietal is about as diverse as it gets, when working with old vineyards as with this wine, the grapes decide what it wants to be. We found this intriguing and beautifully sexy.
|Happy Experiment:
|The tight knit Roos clan have been farming Mooiplaas for many a moon; although they are known for good value wines, this Chenin is an experimental foray into using their heritage old vine blocks as a stand-alone rather than letting this unique juice get absorbed into large blends. We, for one, are thankful that they took that leap.
|All grown on the Roos farm, called Mooiplaas. This Chenin stems exclusively from a 2 hectare single eponymous vineyard. The Houmoed block was planted by the Roos grandfather in 1969 as dryland bushvines. Soils of the Bottelary are mostly decomposed Table Mountain sandstone, the soils are rough and puts serious pressure on vineyards to survive, those that do, give beautifully textured wines.

What Makes My Burnaby Property Increase In Value?
Most of what affects your real estate value in Burnaby for the most part, is predictable. The most elusive part of the situation is the time factor. However, this can be narrowed down to the gap in the journey to pick the right time. Every circumstance that can cause real estate to increase in value can be attributed to one or more factors. The first, is inflation. Inflation is the increase in the cost of any item or service because of the increased cost to reproduce that item. In real estate these costs will occur because of several different circumstances. For example when the cost obtaining a building permit to meet construct roads and newer facilities goes up, this affects you. The investor has to take this into consideration. When new buildings cost more to make, older buildings then turn more valuable. Because your real estate investment is tied to a specific location, older, already improved properties may not be directly comparable other then the cost of replacement. At any rate you have to look at the infrastructure of all the elements that make up the community. We have to include the roads, the public and private facilities, shopping centers, theaters, banking systems, schools, air ports, jails, hospitals, sewer and water facilities and much more. Improving or expanding the infrastructure of a community has an impact on the value of properties. This can be both a positive and a negative impact, and some properties may go up in value while others go down. This double sided sword requires all real estate investors to be very watchful of proposed community changes as they affect your investment. Long range benefits may cause a sudden drop in value due to temporary construction or road detours. A property owner or tenant who is operating on a tight budget could find that even a slight decline in revenue can mean disaster. Riding out these temporary drops in value will be profitable to a secure investor holding out for the long run.

The new poll feature was a bit of fun and I laughed when I saw the results were a split vote! 2 for red, 2 for white and 2 for yellow (I'm counting this as 2 since I have one last person commented that they loved the yellow). Colour is obviously a very personal choice.
I do want to say thank you though to all who commented on my last post. Many ideas and suggestions were noted and were very helpful. GardeningBren stated that dark colours would make the house appear smaller. This was a great piece of advice as I had thought a dark colour would make the house look even larger than it is. Now looking at the pictures I can see how it actually looks smaller and that helps to ease my mind should we go in a dark direction.
Island Threads mentioned that dark colours hold heat better which could be useful when considering plantings.
TS noted that perennials are useful in plantings around the house as they won't be damaged by snow falling from the roof. This is a concern I've pondered on a few occasions and I'm glad to hear about somebody elses experience with it.
Other things we've discovered are that dark paint fades faster in the elements and will require repainting sooner than a light colour. Also, solid stains last longer than oil or latex paints.
All this playing with colour has got us thinking about what it is we really want to achieve by painting the house. We don't actually dislike the colour of the house right now but I do find the ultra white and darkest black to be too stark for my liking. Something softer would suit me better. With that in mind I softened the yellow I had originally chose and brought it to this.
We also really want to show off the shingle work. Right now you can't see the half dozen varieties of shingle on the house because it's all one colour. Using variations of the same colour and bright trim colours will hopefully change that.
|We liked the creams of this house but added a dark green trim as an accent.
You can see we still have a ways to go on choosing a colour but I think we're starting to define more what we want. Thanks for all the thoughtful tips and when a decision is made you guys will be the first to know!

Sky Dancer by J. Lucas Loeffler was donated to the City by the artist and has a permanent home at Festival Plaza.
Jean Mellblom lived in Lafayette for nearly 10 years in the 1990s. She brought the concept of publicly funded art to town. Jean was a persistent, feisty, and very friendly person –all of which helped her convince City officials that public art was necessary in Lafayette.
Jean started her campaign at the same time the new library building was being designed. She saw a large, eventually windowless wall on Baseline Rd. as a potential canvas. After developing an idea for the mural with a local artist, she spent several years raising funds for the project. She asked for donations, convinced city council to contribute matching money, and organized a program of selling mural tiles to donors.
The mural happened, and Jean raised so much enthusiasm for outside art that city council approved a public art fee on new developments. Many people have been involved since then, but it all started with Jean and a vision she had for Lafayette. Because of her dedication and vision, the people's choice award for Art on the Street is named the "Jean Mellblom" Award.
Jean Mellblom passed away in January of 2013. The Lafayette Public Art Committee would like to acknowledge that one of Jean Mellblom's enduring legacies is the role she played in establishing Lafayette's public art program. With the help of the Jean Mellblom Memorial fund, Jean's family has purchased a sculpture, to be installed in Old Town Lafayette, as a way to honor her memory.

Should young children go to their parents' funerals? It's a question, thankfully, most of us aren't called on to answer. But if we are, our decision can have a lasting impact.
It has just come up in (of all places) The Archers. In a moving speech, Jill Archer, mother of Elizabeth Pargetter, whose husband Nigel famously died in a recent rooftop fall, explains to her daughter why the Pargetters' 11-year-old twins should go to their father's funeral.
Having lost her father at an early age, she reveals, she was denied "the chance to say goodbye" when her mother died not long afterwards, because at seven, she was thought to have been through enough. But, Jill says: "It made me think people could just disappear, without any explanation – people you loved, and who you thought loved you."
Long afterwards, she continues, "I was a very wary person. I didn't want to be hurt again. But then I met your father. He taught me to love again, so I could start to forgive my mother for leaving me without a word and never coming back."
Research by educationalpsychologist Dr John Holland, a specialist in the field, who describes Jill's story as "totally accurate", bears her out. In a pioneering study of adults who had lost a parent while still at school, none of the 47% who attended the funeral reported any negative experiences. Two-thirds said it was positive or helpful, allowing them to "grasp reality" and "letting them say goodbye".
Of the 53% who did not attend, however – many were forbidden outright, others distracted from going – more than 75% later wished they had. They felt regret, exclusion, anger, hurt, frustration, or a "detachment from reality". Those who were given the choice and decided not to go did not experience the same negative feelings.
"A funeral is a family rite of passage and important in the grieving process," says Holland, author of Understanding Children's Experiences of Parental Bereavement. "Don't force them, but it's important for children to feel involved. The golden rule is to explain what it's about, in terms they can understand – and give them the choice."
There is, he adds, no lower age limit: "A child will always gain something. And you should see the anger of people, 40 or 50 years later, who were banned or tricked into not going."

How fortunate we are to live in areas communities that think as we do, and do not have such laws.We don't risk any sanctions from laws that don't exist. And we will work to see that they don't exist.Your hypothetical situation claiming moral authority remains hypothetical.
I give no credit to slippery slope arguments. A law requiring the licensure of gun owners and/or the registration of firearms is compatible with the Second Amendment, and the potential abuse of such a law is addressed by the Constitution's protections. I will stand right with you if your Constitutional rights are infringed. Confiscation of property is the act of a tyrant, and must be opposed. But licensure and registration for the purposes of efficient and effective law enforcement, to lift more gun transactions out of the shadows and off of the back of trucks, is both Constitutional and, it sure as heck seems to me, simple common sense. What you do not have is the Constitutional right to be a law unto yourself. If the community decides that as a gun owner you must be licensed, just as you are with respect to the cars you drive, then yes, you are no longer law-abiding if you refuse to comply. Because such a law is lawfully enacted and consistent with the Constitution, and you are a member of the community. It is up to you whether to risk the law's sanction. Will you come out with guns blazing? If you do, you may or may not lose your life. But you will surely have lost your moral authority, in the eyes of man and of God.
You keep saying the Constitution will protect us, yet seem to give The Community boundless authority to pass anything they please that citizens must obey.
I give no credit to slippery slope arguments.
Sorry Pope Jazzhead, this is nothing but empty moralizing and pontificating, and convoluted logic.Licensing and registration will not affect 'to lift more gun transactions out of the shadows and off of the back of trucks' because those aren't sold legally to begin with. If they are breaking the law now, they won't obey the new one.By your logic if 'the community' (which is not how our govt works) decides that the rural areas must be cleared of all people for the sake of the environment and moved to the cities or camps en masse, then they must comply or they have ' lost your moral authority, in the eyes of man and of God'.You keep saying the Constitution will protect us, yet seem to give The Community boundless authority to pass anything they please that citizens must obey.
It's the fatal conceit in the argument. Gun grabbers are 100% sure the "constitution" will protect "them," because they are confident they will get to be the ones interpreting it. The rest of us are just too stupid, and need guidance from the annointed.
Registration doesn't keep guns out of people's hands so it is a useless gesture if you feel there are too many guns. Registering cars did not keep cars out of people's hands nor did registering bicycles or pets. So what is the point of doing it from a gun control aspect?
So what you're saying is the Constitution's just a worthless scrap of paper? I disagree. It is the foundation by which our individual rights are protected against the abuse of law by the community. I trust the checks, balances and protections against tyranny the Founders put in place; you prefer to be a self-appointed lone ranger. But whether you like it or not, the community - by which I mean your town, state or nation of which you are a part - still has the ability to pass laws - by means of its elected representatives - to address such problems as gun violence and gun trafficking. No, such laws cannot infringe the RKBA, but neither do you have the right to be a law unto yourself. Like I said, if you refuse to comply, you risk the law's sanction. That's your choice, but don't give me this crap about moral virtue. You will just be another criminal, taking the law into your own hands.
As I said, you believe the Constitution will protect us, but seem to give The Community boundless powers to pass any laws they please. You have two concepts in direct opposition to each other.Of course you rely on the 'interpretation' patsy, but if you have a document that can be 'interpreted' by those with the power then you really have no protection at all, just a flimsy pretense.
It's all about who gets to interpret it. Activist lawyers arrogate all that power to themselves because they know they are so much smarter than the rest of us. It's why we're called "laymen." Of course our friend is happy to rely on the constitution to protect him: His like-minded friends believe they control the meaning of it with clever wordplay.
The notion that a "community" outweighs the "individual" is repulsive to me. There's an Ayn Rand quote about the smallest minority.I don't think "licensure" is something the grabbers are going to allow to be decided at the local level.
Kinda like "I don't care who votes I care who counts the votes!"
Registration doesn't keep guns out of people's hands so it is a useless gesture if you feel there are too many guns.
Its purpose is very simple - to identify a gun with the owner who is legally responsible for it.
That's not the point. The purpose of registration is not to limit the number of guns you can own or provide information for unconstitutional confiscation. Its purpose is very simple - to identify a gun with the owner who is legally responsible for it. Guns are useful but dangerous implements - what is unreasonable about expecting the gun's owner to be responsible for its use, and its lawful transfer or disposition? In that sense, the purpose for registration of firearms is very similar to the purpose for registration of cars (although the liability regimes will, of course, differ).
But the gun problem in this country is due to people who don't obey laws in the first place, not to the people you describe in your post. You seem to have this tinfoil conspiracy that somehow registration is going to out some nefarious activity on otherwise lawful gun purchases by otherwise law abiding citizens.
It appears the purpose is to make many current lawful gun purchase illegal, making law abiding citizens into criminals.At that point, you have laws to take their guns away.
But the gun problem in this country is due to people who don't obey laws in the first place
And just who are they? A number of folks on this board have declared they won't comply with licensure or registration requirements for firearms, notwithstanding that such laws are Constitutional and would be enacted by the peoples' elected representatives.

Case Management Program (CaMP)
(In development) Asking for and receiving help can be difficult. I'm Positive, Inc. is developing an incredible Case Management Program (CaMP) that will make receiving assistance easier and more effective. This program will focus on all short-term, long-term and ongoing support solutions for all those affected by HIV or AIDS. Our CaMP Counselors and Case Managers will provide unparalleled service from the very first visit and throughout your participation in this program. Our goal is to make the process of receiving assistance as quick and easy as possible.
Offering a Line Service to our Members and Clients can reduce the number of days off from work required to meet with various sources of assistance (Social Services & Welfare, Social Security Administration, Community-based Organizations and Charities, Food Banks and more.) With I'm Positive, Inc. doing the footwork for our Members and Clients, there is less wasted sick-time off of work, enabling that time to be used for instances of actual illnesses. The cost of this program depends on the availability of our Volunteers and the number of participating Clients and Members at the time we launch this program. Stay tuned for more details!
If you are interested in applying to become a CaMP Counselor, Case Manager or Volunteer, click here. For more information about CaMP, please click here.
Workforce Responds To HIV (WoRTH)
(In development) Is your workplace ready to respond to HIV? The impact of HIV on the workplace intensifies with each year of this epidemic. HIV is the second leading cause of death among Americans aged 25-44 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This age group comprises the bulk of the U.S. workforce; in fact, over 50 percent of our nation's workers are in this age group. The CDC also estimates that approximately 1.2 millon people are living with HIV in the US.
Working while living with (or being affected by) HIV or AIDS can be hard. Many employers lack policies that protect individuals that are living with chronic illnesses. While there is some protection found in the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, these Acts alone do not protect a large population of people affected by HIV or AIDS. For example, to qualify for periodic time off for doctor's appointments, an employee must be employed by their covered employer for at least 12 months, have worked at least 1,250 hours AND the employer must have 50 or more employees. (Source: dol.gov)
People who are living with (or affected by) chronic, lifelong illnesses are not able to put their illness, nor the treatment of their illness, "on hold" while they work at least 12 months and 1,250 hours. With this loophole, any employer can terminate their sick employee providing they don't qualify for protection under the Acts.
To directly address this severe lapse in protection, I'm Positive, Inc. is developing the most comprehensive workplace training program ever created! In conjunction with the CDC-developed "Labor/Business Responds to AIDS" program, our redeveloped and improved framework for this program is poised to create tangible change throughout the workforce. With 3 individual education and training programs (Employer, Employee and their Families) WoRTH encompasses a broad-range of resources for both HIV-infected and HIV-affected people. The cost of this program is currently being analyzed. Stay tuned for more details!
If you are interested in applying to become a WoRTH Speaker, Trainer or Volunteer, click here. For more information about WoRTH, please click here.
Red Ribbon Productions
(In development) Being a charity based in Henderson and Las Vegas, NV, our community is full of talented people that care about our cause. Red Ribbon Productions is the perfect program that combines the talents and skills of our supporters to put on absolutely unparalleled productions that benefit people affected by HIV or AIDS.
We are currently looking for people interested in joining our VIP list as well as talented performers and artists to be a part of this fantastic opportunity to support a great cause and see a great show!
For more information about Red Ribbon Productions is coming soon!

We are excited to announce a new major upgrade to the flash flood
map in SCALGO Live. The new flash flood map is simpler to use and offers several benefits:
See the video below for a short demonstration.
The new flash flood map is available right now, but the old version will be available for a period to allow for a smooth transition.
You can enable or disable the new flash flood map from your account settings.
Water Flow:
The terrain topography determines how surface
water is transported to the ocean. Explore how water flows on the
surface and forms flow networks, interactively choosing network detail.
Sea-Level Rise:
The terrain contains barriers to rising sea water, once
water rises above these barriers there is a risk of flooding. Interactively
select any possible sea level rise and see the effects.
Watersheds: A point on the terrain surface can potentially receive surface
water from a very large upstream area. Interactively visualize the extent of the upstream area
of any point.
Customize your map with flow networks at desired detail, flooding from a given
sea level rise, and combine with watersheds, topography, as well as street
and place names.
The surface of the Earth is our natural habitat. Its topography
determines many things about our lives; where rivers form and where the
sun shines, it decides what we can see and the routes we travel along.
At SCALGO we work on analyzing huge digital representations of the
Earth's surface — below and above sea level. We seek to extract
information that can inform decision making processes and improve the
understanding of our habitat. We do so by building on advanced
algorithm technology, initially developed within leading US and
European research institutions, and further developed and
commercialized within SCALGO.
We work closely with scientists, data providers and end users to
develop groundbreaking analysis methods, and state-of-the-art algorithms
that allow these methods to be applied on a regional, national or even
global scale. SCALGO Live Global is our way of sharing global analysis
with the community and the general public. This first version focuses
very much on water flow and flood risk. Depending on feedback, we will
be continuously adding new analysis and new innovative tools to SCALGO
Live Global.
This is made possible by the near-global digital elevation model SRTM,
which is made freely available by NASA, as well as the hydrological
modifications performed in the HydroSHEDS
project by the WWF. The resolution of these data sets is three arc-seconds,
or 90 meter at the equator.
SCALGO also does a large range of commercial projects on high resolution (submeter)
digital elevation models, even for very large areas (e.g. national scale).
These enable a more detailed and precise analysis.
Contact us or visit scalgo.com
to learn more about SCALGO Live or our other
Since the models have a resolution of 90 meter at the equator,
geographic objects with a surface extent smaller than 90 m might not be
captured in the data. This of course adversely influences the result of
any analysis performed on the data, especially flood risk analysis since
dikes and dams may not be captured in the model. This should be considered
before applying the analysis results available on SCALGO Live Global.
SCALGO cannot be held accountable for any damages that might occur as a
result of using the analysis available on SCALGO Live Global.

"The heart is forever making the head its fool."
– François de la Rochefoucauld.
There are already many excellent texts and journals on Echocardiography. Unfortunately most of our patients haven't read any of them, leaving many students (and experienced sonographers) wondering how to deal with a particular situation. There is an information void for trying to approach the problems of echo that simply don't appear in any texts. I am not just talking about the freakish, weird and wonderful (although I do love the bizarre…) I am referring to the practical tips and discussion of the topics that face all of us everyday, but fall outside of the scope of regular texts and journals.
Echo.Guru is not designed to be an online course, but rather an unstructured discussion and education site. I will post about echo topics I am passionate about, tips that help improve your echo skills, and answer common questions that have arisen from my students and trainees.
Ultimately, the content will be determined by the readers who comment. What do you want me to write about? What areas of echo are a struggle? Contact me and I'll get writing.
Tony Forshaw is a university lecturer and clinical cardiac sonographer. He has a masters degree in Cardiac Ultrasound and continues to have a strong ongoing interest in research. His main areas of research include
: quality assurance, contrast echocardiography and muscle mechanics. Tony believes echo is a practical skill and passionately enjoys the art of performing echocardiography. He has been a sonographer for almost 15 years, a vocal campaigner for improving standards of sonographer training and an enthusiastic speaker at conferences on a variety of echo topics.

Twenty years after Pokemon characters and consumer goods took the world by storm, the brand is back in force in the new Pokemon Go game for Android devices. The game was designed to combine the fun of playing a virtual or augmented reality style video game with the opportunity to get out of the house or office and discover the local neighborhood that seems to be taken for granted.
For some people, the concept might sound familiar, and for good reason. A little less than four years ago, a video game developer named Niantic came to the Android-based gaming market with a augmented reality video game titled Ingress. Using GPS technology to create a map of the local area, players are charged with the task of going out into the real world and using the game screen to track down portals.
After securing its independence from former owner Google, Niantic composer Junichi Masuda wanted to capitalize on the popularity of Ingress, which currently has as many as 7,000,000 players. He conceptualized and developed a very similar gaming concept based on the popular Pokemon characters of yesteryear. While the gameplay requirements are quite similar to Ingress, the players are traveling around the local neighborhood trying to locate and capture Pokemon characters instead of portals.
Unlike Ingress, which was originally designed for Android and later redesigned for iOS, Pokemon Go was release simultaneously for both Android and iOS (Apple) users on July, 6 2016. In it's first week of release, the game is showing all the indications of being wildly popular, perhaps surpassing the popular Pokemon video games that were developed for Nintendo.
As expected, there are initial reports of bugs that need to be addressed. As was the case with Ingress, Niantic is having difficulty with its servers being able to handle the game's traffic. This is something the company need to address immediately or risk losing its customer base. There have also received complaints about the audio cutting out when a user's device receives a text message. Finally, new users are getting a "GPS signal not found" message, though a quick fix work-around is already available.

If sorting is the issue, what happens if you do an "ls -1U" (one file per line and unsorted)? Is that a lot faster? Alfred

While many ski resorts in Europe might have been left without a white Christmas, La Plagne in France is seeing a decent depth of snow for skiers. If you've enjoyed having a few days off over the festive period and are looking for a group ski holiday to get you through the rest of the winter – look no further!
Here at ActivityBreaks.com, we understand that when you're booking a holiday, you want to have as little stress as possible. Our group ski break in La Plagne stays at Chalet Ecole where you'll stay on a full board basis with a professional chef, meaning no need to worry about cooking or travelling to the local town after an active day of skiing. Transfers for Chambery Airport, and to and from the ski lifts are also included in our package. For your ski passes and ski hire, you have a professional host on-site who can help you arrange this and is paid for after arrival.
Your host can also help you with booking other activities in the area, such as tobogganing, ice climbing, or bobsleighing. For something a bit unexpected, fat bikes have been introduced in La Plagne for the 2015-2016 season! These look like normal bikes but with thick under-inflated tyres which allow you to speed down the slopes, whilst still remaining in control with brakes designed for the snow.
To make your experience as easy as possible, you can also download the free Paradiski app onto your mobile. This will allow you to easily check snow conditions, forecasts and even has live updates on lift queues to help you make the most of your day on the slopes. It also has information on activities and events in the area during your stay.

In an act of marketing synergy that Disney is a seasoned practitioner of, New York City jeweler Alex Woo has designed a pair of pendants inspired by Chimpanzee, a documentary that the Mouse House describes as a "remarkable story of family bonds and individual triumph." Available in recycled sterling silver and 14-karat gold, the pendants feature Oscar, the film's 3-year-old protagonist, swinging from a trio of vines that symbolize the Jane Goodall Institute's mission to protect people, animals, and environment. (Twenty percent of proceeds from sales of the pendants will benefit the nonprofit's conservation efforts.) Chimpanzee will premiere in theaters on April 20. Don't forget the Kleenex, y'all.

Another Tinker Tote - a finish Friday
**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links
It takes me about 3 days to make one of these bags. Usually around the time I making the bias binding, I start thinking about how I probably could have made a simple quilt in the same amount of time.
But, since Arianna will likely not have room for an entire quilt in her luggage anyway, I am happy I made her this bag instead.
Her favorite color is blue. I had to add in some aqua scraps to fill out the bag. I hope they make it "interesting" and not just "weird".
If you want to make your own Tinker Tote (cough, Patti), I highly recommend "Quilt-As-You-Go: Patchwork Bags with Tara Rebman" - I reviewed the class HERE. I also talk about the adjustments I made to the pattern for my 2nd bag HERE.
Thanks for reading today,

I love this bag! I've even bought the lesson, but I haven't got that far into it yet!ReplyDelete
I LOVE comments, they make my day! Most of the time I am too distracted to respond right away, but I DO read them...always.
When I respond, I usually do it via email. Sometimes Google makes this easy and sometimes it doesn't. I usually only reply when it is easy. Just sayin.
Obviously, I can't reply to you at all if you are a no reply blogger. Also, sorry to Anonymous commentors, too much spam lately. You will have to leave a comment another way.
Have a Super Sparkly Day!

First, your AJJ entry is fabulous. You really shined the light on your model. She's a beauty, too. I like how you depicted her in black and white, with the colorful background.
I was introduced to your blog about half way through 2016, so I really enjoyed seeing all the inchies together. They are fantastic. You did a really incredible job. I saw the list for 2017 last week, and I am not gifted enough to create animals. Nor do I have the digital skills to do so, either. But I plan to watch as you create your animals each week.
I wanted to tell you that I wrote a very comprehensive post on Boxing Day last year. There are many scenarios, so you might want to read what I have written: http://alteredbooklover.blogspot.com/2015/12/boxing-day.html
It includes your interpretation, but there are many others, too. Thanks for sharing this and happy Boxing Day.
I love your work with PSP. Makes me wish I would get back into it myself. I also love your inchie, a great one for sure. Not sure how you got those tiny words on there and the entire years inchies are awesome!!!!!ReplyDelete
