Infant Carriers by Baby Ktan
Baby K'tan
is a company that was developed by a mom and a close friend. Michal Chasal was preparing for the birth of her first baby, Cody in 1999. Cody was born with Down syndrome. Michal was using a baby carrier that she received as a gift, but the baby carrier wasn't going to work for Cody, because of his Down syndrome and his low muscle tone that comes with the disease. Michal experimented with the baby carrier's that was currently on the market. She would put two slings together to, so she could hold Cody close to her and support his low muscle tone. Michal created her own baby carrier. Her friend Isaac Wernick borrowed the carrier that Michal created when their baby was born with a heart condition. Isaac encouraged Michal to bring her amazing baby carrier to the public and together Michal Chasal and Isaac Wernick started Baby K'tan. The Baby K'tan baby carrier is unique. It is similar to a sling, but so much more. The baby carrier allows the baby to be carried upright, breastfed and so much more. The baby carrier has seven different positions. The baby sling supports the baby, while providing the weight of the baby to be distributed on both shoulders, instead of just one, which is excellent for parents. The Baby K'tan comes in a variety of colors. It is machine washable. It is made of a 100% cotton that has an amazing one-way stretch added. This provides the baby to move, but be secure along with providing the support that babies with special needs depend on. The Baby K'tan is a unique and amazing product that is designed for all babies, but especially for babies with any special needs. The Baby K'tan comes in different sizes to fit the weight of your baby. The Baby K'tan is a unique baby carrier that meets more than one need.

R & B Mods only had a day to pack in everything they could about CeBIT. There are 9 pages of photos that cover almost every area of the show, and give you a great tour. A warning, if you are still using dial-up, it may take you a day to see their whole tour as well.

exhibitions. I had the pleasure to go down to Hannover Germany this year to take a part of this
huge event.
IPTV, coming to the small screen near you
Subject: General Tech | March 13, 2006 - 11:57 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Sure we have all streamed video over the net using TCP/IP, but webTV with the same technology has never seemed to catch on. The newest incarnation is IPTV, and Ars Technica can explain how it is supposed to work, and just why the Telco's are interested in broadcasting it.
"IPTV describes a system capable of receiving and displaying a video stream encoded as a series of
Internet Protocol packets. If you've ever watched a video clip on your computer, you've used an
IPTV system in its broadest sense.

It has probably been a while since you last played Quake 3, but there are still people who are. Maybe you aren't impressed that they can only get around 15 fps, and have to turn off some of the lighting effects to get it that high, but what if they were doing it on 24 monitors? The Inquirer links to pics of that, and a Warcraft 2 setup which shows the entire game map.

In an editorial on Malware, PC Mechanic hits on the real solution to spam and adware. Those pop-ups appear because someone is hoping to make money, and if everyone stops buying from spammers and pop-up ads, they just wouldn't exist.

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter 0 Shares Male pattern baldness (or androgenic alopecia) is largely a genetic disorder. It arises in some men because they are genetically predisposed to having higher levels of 5-alpha reductase in their bodies. 5-alpha reductase is an enzyme that converts the male hormone, testosterone, into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT shrinks hair follicle cells over time resulting in thinner hair. As DHT accumulates, hair gradually thins until it is lost entirely in certain areas.

This is my third try to get into a residency.
In the United States licensing and practicing medicine is not federally regulated,
each state licenses a physician with its own rules and laws so if a physician is licensed in one US state and practice for 10 years, they want to move they must apply and their license may or may not be granted in the next state. For an American Medical School Grad (AMG) this is not an issue, for an International Medical School Grad (IMG) this can be a nightmare.
While the US states differ on rules and laws such as how many USMLE attempts will be acceptable for license, they agree on all of the following:
at least 1 Year of Residency for AMG to be licensed 3 years of Residency for an IMG to be licensed ( one state still allows 1 year to fulfill this requirement)
Passage of USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam) all three steps ( different rules on this in each states from unlimited time to 7 years to complete and Unlimited attempts to 3 attempts per step)
IMG must be ECFMG certified this is when the IMG passes Steps 1,2CK and 2CS, the medical degree is certified and clinical rotations.
What is new is the FCVS verification, see below from the site
FCVS Overview
FCVS was established in September 1996 to provide a centralized, uniform process for state medical boards to obtain a verified, primary-source record of a physician's core medical credentials. This service is designed to lighten the workload of credentialing staff and reduce duplication of efforts by gathering, verifying and permanently storing the physician's and/or physician assistant's credentials in a central repository............
Yes the ECFMG may certify the all this but the Federation of State Medical Boards was not making enough money and the states were not uni-formally accepting the ECFMG certification and passage of the USMLE and a completed residency of 3 years in the USA as enough so now some states want the FCVS. Whats next? A third verification company that each state board gets a fee too? It may be in our future.
What the average IMG pays for the match:
for 100 programs applied to $2175 in 2014
Funds for travel to residency interviews is around 300 to $500 in the USA from other countries more.
From 100 programs applied expected interviews for average scores on USMLE and complete application package is 5 to 10 max. So usually less than 10% and if 5 interviews you will need at least $1500 for interview money.
This year and what has happened:
We waited at our computers on the Morning of 9/15/2014 ready with a list to apply to and a Credit Card to pay our fees with ERAS running and crashing for over 6 hours. Few if any were able to apply to the programs. If we are to believe that at least 20,000 IMG's apply ( some say 40,000) and average 100 programs at least ( I know of many 200 plus) then the one day revenue from the 20,000 applications to ERAS is $42,000,000 gross for applying to programs. This is all done by computer software and servers. So the crashes? What is the most important part of this process? What makes ERAS a service? The application delivery, you see ERAS is a post office for the Residency programs.
ERAS stands for Electronic Residency Application Service. The sole purpose for the collection of fees from applicants is to deliver the residency application to programs.
So on the system crashed on 9/15/2014 and then we had an Email crash, messages from programs dissapeared and were not going through. Programs report difficulty in downloading applications and crashes on their end. After paying these fees and days trying to apply we have this from a service that had time to prepare and has been collecting these fees for years. I have my own thoughts on this and I have to tell you I think its a shame no one regulates this. Last year I found out about the software functions, a function to the programs is screener software. The screeners can be set to Year of Grad, Scores and Attempts on USMLE, ECFMG certified, Visa status, Citizenship. and probably other.
So the screener stops the application the applicant paid for ERAS to delver to the program. The program screens out your application and never see the application thanks to ERAS who you paid to deliver. The US Mail would never do this, we pay for the application to be delivered to the program it would reach them, if not the service was not provided. So if your application was screened out by ERAS own software, was service provided to you? Did you get what you paid for? You just paid a fee to have an application delivered but ERAS did not deliver it because the same computer system blocked it. Hmm think about it for a minute.
I applied to 41 FM and 10 IM programs I hand picked because they say they look at the application.
I chose states I can be licensed in.
I chose programs who claim to care more about the applicant than scores.
I pray.
Good Luck

2010 Wedell Hillside Chardonnay Edna Valley
Our 2010 Wedell Cellars "Hillside Vineyard" Chardonnay is all about Terrior. The wine is unlike any other Chardonnay from the Edna Valley Appellation. Although it has undergone 100% malolactic fermentation there is no hint of butter and while it has been aged for a considerable amount of time in new French oak, the oak is complimentary but not overpowering. The 2010 Wedell Cellars "Hillside Vineyard" Chardonnay has an incredible rich mouth feel, immersing you in a spectacular balance of oak, fruit and acidity with a lingering complex finish. Because it is so balanced, we feel that we have created a wine that while enjoyable now will age and mature beautifully for many years to come.

News & Events
This page contains information on what's new at ARG and a listing of press releases. Press releases are issued by the communications department at the Public Health Institute (PHI) and are available for viewing on their site. Media inquiries should be directed to PHI.
Special Edition Release: Examining the Social Model Approach in Recovery Residences
ARG Senior Scientist, Doug Polcin, heads up a special edition of the International Journal of Self Help & Self Care as guest editor. This recently released edition focuses on sober living houses (SLHs) - alcohol and drug free living environments for individuals attempting to abstain from alcohol and drugs - and their model of recovery care. Highlights include the history of SLHs, how architecture impacts residents and faciliates their recovery, along with a first-hand account from a sober living homes' developer. In addtion, ARG Associate Scientist Amy Mericle's article explores different types of recovery residences based on standards developed by the National Alliance for Recovery Residences to determine if recovery homes in Philadelphia differ from SLHs in California.Newly funded study assesses effectiveness of alternatives to 12-step programs for people who suffer from addiction.
While the number of alternatives to common 12-step programs has grown over the past few years, there has been little to no research on how effective these programs are in treating addiction, in particular over the long term. ARG Senior Scientist, Sarah Zemore's project seeks to do just that - compare traditional 12-step programs such as AA to alternatives in a NIAAA funded study.Zemore hopes that study findings will help determine the benefits and limitations of specific programs, including measuring outcomes such as abstinence and quality of life over a 12-month period. The study may also prompt a closer look at specific alternatives thus providing individuals who suffer from addiction a much wider range of effective treatment options. Read more.
How effective is Intensive Motivational Interviewing (IMI) for women with an alcohol dependency?
A new randomized-control trial compares approaches to determine which treatment will help women significantly reduce the amount they drink over time.ARG Senior Scientist, Doug Polcin's recent NIAAA award enables the researcher to build on previous findings where women with serious drinking problems who participated in intensive motivational interviewing significantly reduced their alcohol consumption compared to women who received standard motivational interview treatment. This new study will increase the number of participants and provide an opportunity to randomly assign women to a treatment group to see which approach is more effective. Policin and colleagues will also assess whether IMI has a longterm effect on drinking and alcohol-related problems by interviewing women at two months, 6 months and one year following the intervention.
Factors that may contribute to more positive outcomes will also be measured, including retention, relationship with the healthcare professional, self-efficacy, motivation, satisfaction, and use of outside services. Read more.
Innovative study seeks to prevent drinking during pregnancy and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) through a low cost computerized tool.
The NIAAA announced that a trial to assess a computerized tool for preventing prenatal drinking, better known as an electronic screen and brief intervention (or "e-SBI"), has been funded. The three-year pilot project that builds on previous work on cost-effective strategies to reduce alcohol-related harms will be headed up by ARG Associate Scientist, Madhabika B. Nayak. Nayak and her team plan to adapt the bilingual (English and Spanish) tool for use with non-pregnant women to see if this low-cost approach is effective in reducing drinking.Study findings will help design a larger trial of e-SBI's efficacy and provide critical information on health risks and possible negative related outcomes such as increased drug use among participants. Read more.
New study tackles how social, economic and cultural factors influence a person's drinking and health over a lifetime.
The NIAAA announced that ARG Senior Scientist and Center Associate Director William Kerr's study on inter-relationships between life-course alcohol patterns and health conditions has been funded. A four-year project, Kerr and colleagues will examine the effects of alcohol use over a lifetime, including social and economic hardships, and racial and ethnic differences in factors that may contribute to poorer health.Kerr will use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) 1979, 1997 cohorts and the 2010 National Alcohol Survey (NAS) to assess risks for alcohol-related health outcomes. in addition, Kerr hopes his study findings will help determine how health problems affect future drinking as well as providing new data nf the impact of the recent economic recession on a person's health.

Another Post-doc Receives an NIH Loan Repayment Program (LRP) award. Congratulations, Paul Gilbert.
Paul's research explores the ways that the social environment shapes substance use. His current work describes the associations of gender and racial/ethnic discrimination with specialty treatment, use of 12-step groups, and other help seeking for problem drinking. His next project seeks to explain racial/ethnic disparities in alcohol services use, including whether intermediary factors that facilitate or inhibit services vary by gender. Together, Paul's research may lead to more efficacious interventions to increase alcohol services use.Congratulations to Priscilla Martinez on her recent NIH Loan Repayment Program (LRP) award.
Priscilla's investigation of immune function associated with alcohol use disorder and psychological distress comorbidity was selected from a highly competitive pool of applicants within the Clinical Research Program, highlighting the significance of this young, talented researcher's work. All of us at ARG are very proud of her accomplishments and look forward to her future research contributions that this grant enables her to pursue. Congratulations again, Priscilla!International alcohol and injury project gets another green light.
The NIAAA announced that the Cross-national Analysis of Alcohol and Injury study, which began in 2002, will receive funding for another five-years through to March 2019. This competing continuation headed up by Cheryl Cherpitel, explores the relationship between alcohol and injury with data gathered from 33 emergency room sites across eight countries as part of the Emergency Room Collaborative Alcohol Analysis Project (ERCAAP)/World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborative Study on Alcohol and Injury.Research highlights include the relationship between amount of alcohol consumed and injury type, country and regional drinking patterns, and the relationship between blood alcohol content and clinical assessment of intoxication.
Congratulations Cheryl, Jason Bond, Yu Ye and Rachel Korcha. We look forward to another five years of innovative and informative research on injury and alcohol from around the globe.
The public health case for legalizing pot: it could replace alcohol
In a recent review of the scientific literature, researcher Meenakshi Subbaraman, of the Alcohol Research Group at the Public Health Institute, found that marijuana can act as a substitute for alcohol for some people. In one survey of Canadian medical marijuana users, 41 percent said they replace alcohol with marijuana because pot causes less withdrawal, fewer side-effects, and better symptom management. In another survey, medical marijuana patients in California reported alcohol use at two-thirds the national rate.As Subbaraman explained "some people just want to wind down at the end of the day; whether they do it through alcohol or marijuana is personal preference. Legalizing marijuana, then, could allow some people to pick pot over alcohol without worrying about the potential repercussions of engaging in illicit activity." Read more.

Some racial/ethnic groups overestimate the number of drinks they can have before driving.
Black and Hispanic drinkers are more likely to overestimate how much they can safely drink two hours before driving, a new and innovative study examining impairment limits found. The study, to be published on line ahead of print in the American Journal of Public Health, determined that, on average and controlling for other factors such as weight, education and drinking history, self-reported impairment thresholds (number of standard drinks one could drink in 2 hours before driving without being impaired) were 30% higher for Black drinkers and 26% higher for Hispanic drinkers than for White drinking drivers. Further, 28% of Black drinkers and 31% of Hispanic drinkers reported 5 or more drinks can be consumed in two hours without their becoming too impaired to get behind the wheel compared to 12% of White drinkers.

International study finds acute aclohol consumption causes higher risk of injury for woman than men.
A new study of emergency department patients in 18 countries led by ARG Senior Scientist, Cheryl Cherpitel, made available online by the scientific journal Addiction, shows that the risk of injury caused by acute alcohol consumption is higher for women compared with men. While the risk of injury is similar for both men and women up to three 'standard' drinks (containing 16 ml or 12.8 g of pure ethanol), the risk then increases more rapidly for women, becoming twice the risk to men around 15 drinks and three times the risk to men around 30 drinks. In this study the drinks were reportedly consumed within six hours prior to injury.The risk of violence-rated injury is consistently larger than the risk of other types of injuries and has a steeper dose-response relationship than other types of injuries, meaning the risk of injury from violence increases more rapidly as the volume of alcohol consumed increases. The 'standard' drink used in this study equals less than a 350 ml glass of 5% ABV beer, a 150 ml glass of 12% ABV wine, or a 44 ml glass of 80-proof spirit, each of which contains approximately 18 ml of pure ethanol. In this study, one 750-ml bottle of 12% wine equals 5.6 drinks. The study looked at over 13,000 injured patients from Argentina, Belarus, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Guyana, India, Ireland, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Study finds that alcohol-programming outreach is important to women of color.
There has been very little research conducted on racial and ethnic disparities in the utilization of alcohol services and little known about whether such disparities also carry across genders. Sarah Zemore, a senior scientist at the Alcohol Research Group and the corresponding author of the study that assessed the combined impact of race/ethnicity and gender on alcohol services utilization, found lower service utilization among Latinos and Blacks, versus Whites, and women, versus men. Such lower utilization rates reveal the difficulty that ethnic minorities and non-English speakers have in accessing treatment services with female Black and Latina drinkers at a greater disadvantage.

How Much Alcohol Is in Your Drink? Stronger Beers and Wines Make It Harder to Tell.
Consumers often don't know how much alcohol they are actually drinking, according to "The Blurring of Alcohol Categories," a new report from the Public Health Institute's Alcohol Research Group (ARG) published by the National Alcoholic Beverage Control Association. Many new beer and wine products have increased alcohol content—blurring what were once clear lines between the alcohol content of beer, wine and spirits. Read more...October 9, 2012

Craig Hagopian | November 11, 2011 | Comments
Start with location, creative, and platform.
An eMarketer report declared that mobile display will be a dominant ad format by 2015, when U.S. mobile ad spending will increase to $1.9 billion from this year's $434 million. More advertisers are willing to invest in mobile, particularly display ads, because of its advanced targeting capabilities and the opportunities to engage a growing population of smartdevice users.
If you are one of those advertisers who hopes to get in early and reap the rewards of targeting a highly desirable audience of engaged consumers, keep in mind that making the most out of your mobile-display ad buys will require a change in mindset from the more familiar desktop advertising. That's because mobile display is unique from its desktop counterpart in three distinct ways.
Location-based targeting is more important for mobile than desktop, as mobile can target users based on their exact locations versus desktop's broader capabilities of targeting by IP addresses or search histories. Due to this granular level of targeting, mobile allows advertisers the ability to incite consumers to take local actions.
As a result, marketers will want to first determine the desired reach of their campaigns, keeping in mind that mobile can be targeted to very specific local areas such as a specific business address, radius from an address or Zip code, and even a specific latitude or longitude. Please note that although pinpoint accuracy limits your advertising risk, it could, in turn, limit your branding goals because fewer consumers will be exposed to your ads the more narrowly you focus your campaigns. My advice is to start with your business's physical location, and then determine the radius of your reach - or how far away you want your advertising to be seen by consumers. From there, you can always refine your focus either more narrowly or more broadly, depending on the initial results.
Finally, embedded in the local granularity of mobile targeting is also a time component. As an advertiser, you must simultaneously satisfy both the where and the when if you're to appeal to consumers who are not only nearby but also demonstrating serious, immediate purchase intent. Fortunately, most ad providers offer both geo-targeting and dayparting (remember to ask about marrying the two for optimal performance).
You have probably been instructed to integrate your marketing strategies across all media. That's true to a point. Again, mobile requires a new mindset. In fact, the Interactive Advertising Bureau recently released a statement asking advertisers to shed the one-size-fits-all approach because mobile display is very different than traditional online display. You cannot assume that what works online will work in mobile.
A big reason for separating the two is that mobile requires simplicity. Bandwidth, load times, and processing power are just some of the preventative measures keeping highly interactive online ads from performing well on smartphones. On top of that, online ads run a greater risk of not rendering properly on mobile because they're formatted only for traditional browsers, whereas mobile ads must appease a fragmented landscape of devices, operating systems, etc.
Holding firm to simplicity, understand that mobile also comes with advanced features, like built-in cameras and real-time GPS, that do a better job of engaging end users in meaningful ways. I encourage you to marry your creative with some of those features to create ads that do more, like inciting action. For example, tie into your creative a coupon or code that can be instantly utilized without printing. But whatever you do, be sure to test how your creative transfers to the mobile screen, which will impact the consumer's impression of you.
When combined with local targeting, creative can even speak to a consumer's exact location, plus be embedded with other locally relevant content such as offers, directions, click to call, and social sharing. You can even incorporate local weather patterns into your ads. For example, a roofing contractor wanting to appeal to a consumer needing shingle replacements may want to cite in his display ads the recent hailstorm that swept through the searcher's area.
With mobile, you can actually target consumers based on platform: browser, operating system, and device. On the contrary, online display only gives advertisers access to a user's browser type. With mobile's advanced targeting capabilities come even deeper insights into user demographics, as each platform reaches a slightly different age group, income status, gender, etc. Take, for example, the demographic differences between users of smartphones and non-smartphones. Given that the smartphone audience is typically comprised of younger, more-affluent users compared to the featurephone audience, consider how this might translate in your targeting and creative goals.
Based on demographic data, you'll want to familiarize yourself with your target audience before proceeding, so you reach the right consumers with the right ads. Analyzing user information by platform ensures that your ads fit in with mobile experiences specific to each end user. If you're unsure, work with an ad network or agency provider that'll help you wade through the marketplace and myriad of options. If you're going at it alone, I encourage you to focus on a specific platform for which you tailor your ads; once your campaign concludes, use what you've learned to set benchmarks and expand from there.

Literature and the shaman: Jung, trauma stories and new origin stories in The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
Rowland, Susan (2009) Literature and the shaman: Jung, trauma stories and new origin stories in The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Journal of Jungian Scholarly Studies, 5 (1). pp. 1-13. ISSN 1920-986X
| PDF - Published Version Download (172kB) | Preview |
The paper first considers the role of Jungian ideas in relation to academic disciplines and to literary studies in particular. Jung is a significant resource in negotiating developments in literary theory because of his characteristic treatment of the 'other'. The paper then looks at The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950) by C.S. Lewis whose own construction of archetypes is very close to Jung's. By drawing upon new post-Jungian work from Jerome Bernstein's Living in the Borderland (2005), the novel is revealed to be intimately concerned with narratives of trauma and of origin. Indeed, a Jungian and post-Jungian approach is able to situate the text both within nature and in the historical traumas of war as well as the personal traumas of subjectivity. Where Bernstein connects his work to the postcolonial ethos of the modern Navajo shaman, this new weaving of literary and cultural theory points to the residue of shamanism within the arts of the West.

Leaking Metal Roof
This is my first post so please forgive me if I do not do it exactly right or if it is in the wrong location, but here is my question.
We live in Northern California and have an add on with a flat roof. A couple of years ago it started to leak, we tried and tried to fix it but it still leaked so we tore off the old roof leaving only the plywood base and replaced it with another flat roof. It still leaked so again we tore off the old roof leaving only the plywood base and this time replaced that with a shingle roof and it still leaked. So we once again tore off the old roof leaving only the plywood base and this time replaced it with a metal roof and it STILL leaks. AUGH.... What we have done so far is... black jacked old plywood seems, put felt on top of old plywood, put new plywood on top of felt offsetting the seams, black jacked all new seems, installed ALL new flashings trims etc. We have followed manufactures and suppliers directions to the "T". But it still leaks. THIS IS NOT A LITTLE LEAK IT IS LEAKING ACROSS THE WHOLE ROOM. We have now torn off the wet and soggy ceiling and can see it coming form the old seams. We believe it may be coming from where the addition meets the original roof and running down because it is locking metal roof sheets, how would the water get through that? We have done everything we can think of and it has cost us thousands of dollars. PLEASE any advise on what we're looking for and how to stop it. I will download pictures as soon as I can... Thank you for any advice! Advertisement |

Leaking Metal Roof
With no pics i will take a stab.
Your installing it wrong or the leak is above what your doing and leaking under your new flat. If you provide pics we could provide you with some direction. Does this flat tie into wall or another roof ? After re-reading your post, it sounds like the there is an improper tie in but only pictures will show us what your dealing with.
