There is already a diverse international community at the partner universities of the IUMC. This provides an interesting experience for students as it gives them the opportunity to build a global network of friends and associates. Having to participate in inter-cultural exchanges, students enjoy a rounded education and develop personally while pursuing their academic objectives.
International students are well looked after. They find it easy to settle in quickly with the well-developed support services for international students. In the wider community, students enjoy the welcoming and warm hospitality of the lrish people. Students who come from English-speaking backgrounds have no language difficulties because Ireland is an English-speaking country and the medium of instruction at the universities is through English. All this ensures a truly enriching educational experience.
To learn more about the student support services and facilities provided:
Each of the universities has modern university residences around their campuses and a number of places are set aside for international students. Typically, these are self-catering apartments comprising several individual rooms which may be en suite or having shared utilities. Each apartment usually has a comfortable common room and fully equipped kitchen cum dining area. There is usually a coin or token operated laundry facility within each complex.
Sports and Recreation
There is much more to life on campus than lectures and the library. Each university has extensive sports, recreation and cultural facilities making for a rich, diverse and vibrant student life.
Clubs and societies provide avenues to meet new people and to find new friends from all walks of life. There is something for everyone - from debating to dancing, music to sci-fi, from acting to archaeology and from trekking to photography.
All the universities have modern and fully equipped sports complexes, and pitches for soccer and hockey and tennis courts are in close proximity. Trips, tournaments, competitions, training or just meetings all add to students' enjoyment and experiences in the universities.
Academic Services
The universities provide an impressive range of academic services, principally the Library, IT Access and Language Centres.
The main libraries are usually centrally located to support the research and teaching of all courses. As well as printed resources, information technology is being increasingly employed to ensure comprehensive and easy access to the growing electronic resources available locally and over data networks.
Language Centres offer a valuable service to language learners of all levels and abilities, whether it is to improve competency to facilitate learning of your chosen course or for purpose of learning a new language.
Orientation Programmes
The universities are committed to making your transition to third level education a positive one. Before starting lectures new students would be invited to participate in orientation activities. These are designed to provide useful information and advice about the academic, social and practical aspects of campus life.
Student Services
Eateries on campus range from cafes that offer a simple breakfast of coffee and muffin to restaurants that provide a hearty meal. Banks, bookshops and convenience stores are strategically located on each campus.

The Other Eden
In 1924 Eleanor Rose turns 21 and inherits her family estate in Louisiana, 'Eden's Meadow'. Left an orphan as a child and brought up in Boston by her maternal grandfather, she looks to the south as a haven in which to grieve and to concentrate on her music. Her tranquillity is soon disturbed by a growing love for an enigmatic Russian pianist and by a shocking discovery surrounding the house which threatens her sanity and her life.
The Other Eden is a novel set in the past and may disappoint those readers wishing for more historical content. The story is often confusing, with literary pretensions and unsympathetic characters, and it reads at times like a book of musicology. It is overcrafted: the mystery is imprisoned in a plethora of words struggling to free themselves yet remaining immured on an altar to indulgent refrain. Only the epilogue liberates the narrative from its cacophony of words.

Minister of Labor Says Laid Off Industrial Workers Were Duly Compensated
A significant part of the economic downturn has been attributed to problems in traditionally robust industries – like papaya, shrimp and bananas. Fruta Bomba has closed its doors, shrimp farms are struggling to recover from disease and over a thousand acres of bananas have rotted in the fields after Mayan King was forced to close. Those crises resulted in massive layoffs of employees, but today Patt told us that his Ministry was involved at every turn to ensure that the laborers received what was due them.
Hugo Patt, Minister of Labor
"I can tell you for one that for one we have been able to speak to all of the stakeholders and I will take the case of the shrimp industry. I will take the case of the papaya industry and I will take the case of the banana industry. While there are events that have affected their capacities to operate, in terms of labour relations, in terms of benefits to the employees that is one that we have managed to keep abreast of. As a matter of fact I can tell you that before any decisions are made there is always consultation with the Ministry so that we know that everything that is being done is to the benefit of both the employers and employees but more importantly that this is done in compliance with the law, and so we have been able to speak to all the industry stakeholders particularly with issues relating to labour, specifically the industries that are having difficulties at this present time."
"Sir relating to Fruta Bomba, can you tell us the role the Ministry played in the winding down of that company and how they assisted in trying to protect the rights of the former employees of the company."
Hugo Patt
"We knew from the onset because of several situations that Fruta Bomba was practically winding down. As a matter of fact I think this is the last two weeks that it will be operational. But from the onset it was mentioned that at the time we knew there were initial talks of winding down we engaged the company in us being able to preserve the rights for our people and so we look at everything but more importantly we made it clear that while any company that winds down and is closing down, there needs to be that compliance with the law and there needs to be benefits given to our employees. As such we feel very confident that in winding down they have applied the law as is required."

Japanese OEM is launching a new 10HP model for European market.
Gaku Shimada, Panasonic
Since introducing outdoor CO2 condensing units in Europe in 2017, Japanese OEM Panasonic has sold 600 as of October, according to Gaku Shimada, Overseas Sales Manager for Panasonic's Refrigeration System Sales Department.
In marketing these units, Panasonic has targeted small-format stores, gas stations, fast food chains and restaurants, said Shimada during a presentation at ATMOsphere Europe, in Warsaw, Poland, on October 16. Europe is the world leader in transcritical CO2 system installations with 23,000, though most of these are rack systems in supermarkets.
Panasonic initially sold 100 CO2 condensing units in Europe in 2017; this grew to a cumulative total of 300 in 2018, reaching 600 this past October. The company has sold 10,000 CO2 condensing units in Japan through 2019, along with 30 in Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia) and 30 in Australia.
Shimada added that Panasonic is launching a new 10HP CO2 condensing unit for the European market. The new unit has 16kW (4.55TR) of medium-temperature capacity, 7.5kW (2.13TR) of low-temperature capacity, a heat-recovery option, and a larger sized 12L (3.17gal) CO2 tank for "easier CO2 charge amount control."
"This time we included special tubes for installers to connect additional heat exchangers," said Shimada. "By doing so, you can get some heat, free of charge."
Panasonic launched its 2HP CO2 condensing unit in Europe in 2017. The first version of its 10HP unit followed in the summer of 2018.
Surviving 48°C (118°F)
Shimada attributed the success of the CO2 units to several factors including ease of installation and reliability in high temperatures. "The most popular thing I hear from our installers is 'Gaku, this product is very, very easy to install,'" said Shimada.
In addition, Shimada said that the CO2 units ran without issue during this past summer's heat wave which exceeded the system's rated ambient operating temperature maximum of 43°C (109°F). "Actually, this summer in France, we experienced 48°C (118°F), and the unit ran without any issue," Shimada said.
"This summer in France, we experienced 48°C (118°F), and the [CO2] units ran without any issue."

So below you'll see a few videos from International Day at Hamslice's Montessori. It was his first school performance, and just as cute as can be. I should mention that Hamslice's class was the last one to perform, so they had been sitting on the floor patiently for about an hour before this. I imagine this explains some of the behavior...
Here's the warmup -- Hamslice fooling around on stage with his favorite buddy, Brooks. Our guy is the blond in the front row, wearing the dashiki
Next comes the introduction where the class says Good Morning in Swahili
Here's Hamslice doing his speaking part. I was so proud
And then... well.... then there was the singing and dancing portion, which Hamslice took to a new level complete with stunts, a time out, and a dash to his mom. My poor baby.

[See update]
Over the past few years, studies have surfaced indicating that P2P file sharing either has no statistical effect on music sales or that it is responsible for the loss of untold billions in lost profits. Maybe it depends on who is paying for the study.
Today, Ars Technica points to new one in the* Journal of Political Economy* (abstract here, subscription required) from Felix Oberholzer-Gee and Koleman Strumpf.
The study finds the former to be true: that there is no causal link between a song being heavily trafficked on P2P networks and its sales declining. The study's finding is familiar, but its methodology is new.
What makes this study different is that the researchersingeniously tracked whether increased availability of music shared byGermans on P2P networks had an impact on American sales figures. Thatway, they were able to eliminate a problem that has dogged earlierefforts: the fact that something that's popular online is also popularin stores, making it hard to tell whether online downloads are contributing to hype or detracting from sales.
The study concluded that less than 6
million albums went unsold in 2002 due to online piracy; the remaining74 million CDs that sat on store shelves at the end of the year did sodue to something other than online piracy.
Update: The title of this post is unfortunate. As revealed in the comments section (thanks, Mathew), this study was originally made public in 2004. For some reason, it appeared in the February, 2007 edition of the Journal of Political Economy, and then in a post today on Ars Technica. As I mentioned in the comments section, I still think this was an ingenious way to structure the study; maybe a sequel is in order. People still seem to be interested in the original. (The whole study is here, if anyone's curious.)

In a departure from my normal lame travel and food reviews, in an attempt to provide a service to the community today's offering is a bit different.
This post is to inform people about my experience of applying for a Long Term Social Visit Pass (Pas Lawatan Sosial) in Malaysia – that's the long name of what I would call a spouse or spousal visa. We went through the process in July 2018 at the WPKL office in Hartamas, also known as Jalan Duta; this post should be considered as only being relevant to my application at this time, and is definitely not any sort of legal advice.
As such, the following is to be treated as informatory (is that a real word?) in nature only. If it helps, I am happy and you are welcome, but you'll want to make sure you ask people at the immigration office to be certain you are doing the right thing. Enough disclaimers for now and on with the post.
UPDATE: Mohammed has provided a useful comment on his experience at the Shah Alam office, including having to use the Islamic Affairs Department to help with the application. I recommend searching for 'Mohammed' to find and read it. Also, if you are interested in how to get a work permit after you get your spouse visa, please go here.
I am a British citizen and my wife is Malaysian; we registered our marriage in Singapore (I will probably do a post on this later including how to register it in Malaysia).
We had the assistance of a Commissioner of Oaths who we paid to help us with the paperwork. With hindsight, that might not have been necessary. While it was helpful to have the forms completed for us, and certainly saved us time, we felt we could have done them on our own. However, if you are interested in using the one we did, leave your email in the comments and I will put you in touch. It is necessary for two of the documents to be stamped by a Commissioner of Oaths anyway, so you might want some of the hassle removed.
Whether you opt for help or not, make sure you have the latest forms from the Immigration Office, which will also include a handy checklist. I do have PDF versions of the forms applicable at the time which I can supply again on request (and for information purposes only!).
You'll hear or see the abbreviation CTC repeatedly both in this post and in real life. This stands for certified true copy and may well be the bane of your life. Other abbreviations are JPN (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara – the registration office), UTC (Pusat Transformasi Bandar, known by the initials in English for Urban Transformation Centre), and I/C (Malaysian identity card, also known as MyKad).
You have to go to the Immigration Office for the place where you live (unless you are Nigerian or Chinese – citizens of these nationalities have to go to Putrajaya; I am unsure why), along with your spouse. Make sure you have all of the documents ready, as your application will not be accepted without them.
The forms and supporting documentation that I needed were as follows:
Borang (Malay for form) IMM 12. This is a blue and white form which you need two copies of, complete with passport photos (at first I wrote it has to be stamped by a Commissioner of Oaths, but commenter Jeff points out this is incorrect – thanks!). It asks which type of visa you want, for your details, and for your sponsor's details (see below).
Borang IMM 38. This is a white form, which asks for a few more details about the applicant. You need two copies.
Borang IMM 55. This is a form for extension of visit pass. You need one copy, and I assume it is needed to capture more details about your passport and current visa.
My passport and photocopies of every page which wasn't blank.
Spouse's Malaysian passport and photocopies of every page which wasn't blank.
Spouse's I/C and CTC by JPN or UTC. You might think the immigration officer could check the card and then make sure the copy is the same. You would be wrong. Fortunately there was a JPN branch in the building when we had to get the CTC.
Overseas marriage certificate and CTC by embassy. You might think the immigration could check the details on the original and make sure the copy is the same. You would be wrong again. Cue a frantic taxi ride to the Singapore high commission by my lovely wife to get our photocopy stamped (total time in vehicle 80 mins, time in high commission 5 mins).
Certificate of registration of marriage in Malaysia and CTC by JPN. You might think…ah, you probably get it by now. Anyway, we were lucky in that there was a JPN wedding branch (different from I/C section) where I queued for an hour to get a stamp, while wife went to the high commission.
A form which makes a declaration under oath about your marital status (including any previous marriages, divorces and children, if applicable). This also needs to be stamped by a Commissioner of Oaths.
Sponsor's information form. You need a sponsor for the visa who earns more than RM2000 per month (no matter what you earn). They must also attend when you submit the application. This can be your spouse, however.
Security bond form. This details the personal information of the applicant and the spouse, plus makes a legal commitment to pay a penalty in the event the applicant breaks the terms of the visa. The form must be signed by the spouse and witnessed by a third party. The witness must either be present at the immigration office or must supply a photocopy of their I/C. This photocopy must be certified. So you need CTC of their I/C by JPN or UTC… (we didn't have this and had to ask a kind gentleman to re-witness for us, so be warned).
The bond form has to show stamp duty has been paid. To do this, you have to go to a branch of Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negara (Inland Revenue Board). I did this in advance at one near my flat. The stamp duty is RM10 (so is questionable in efficiency but you have to do it).
Effectively the bond is enforced by taking the money from you when you pick up your visa! It is then returned in the event of divorce, death or attaining permanent residence. The amount depends on which country you come from. For a Brit like me, it is RM1500. Latest details were at http://www.imi.gov.my/index.php/en/visa/security-bond-bank-guarantee-rates.html at time of writing.
A photo of the wedding ceremony. This should be in at least size 4R. We chose one which had us holding the certificate. We were told it should only have the bride and groom in shot, so no group photos.
Sales and Purchase Agreement for your property (sometimes known as SNP), or tenancy agreement if applicable. We were told in advance we only needed to have copies of the front page, stamp duty page, signatures and property details like official address. On the day I had to run out to get copies of EVERY page.
House photos. You need photographs which indicate the place where you are living. We were told to take photos of: the street sign (for us impossible due to the signs all being removed for roadworks); the condo sign; the whole condo; the block in the condo; the front door of the unit; the door plate with the number of the unit; and the living room. We had printed copies of the six we had, and the immigration officer attached these to the application forms. More on why later.
CTC of spouse's employment offer letter, stamped by employer.
CTC of spouse's last three months' payslips, stamped by employer. Actually, they accepted two months' worth as wife was working in Singapore before then. We also supplied a copy of her by-now surrendered Singapore Employment Pass.
Last three bank statements for spouse, plus CTC by bank. Again, they accepted two from us. The bank charged RM2 per sheet. The bank statements should show a monthly income of at least RM2000.
We also took our original birth certificates and photocopies, Singapore tax filing and statement, and original EPF (Malaysian Employees Provident Fund) statements, just in case. These weren't needed in the end.
We had a bit of a nightmare with our attempt to submit the application. When we turned up at KL office, the system was down, and the queue was 100 people long according to the number-giver. She therefore refused to give us a number. She said we might be able to be seen at Putrajaya, so we rang to explain our situation, checked the system was working, and drove the 40 minutes over there.
That's when we found out it was only for Chinese and Nigerian applicants, and the few people (90,000) who live in the federal territory. Next step, call back to the KL office to check the system was working again. They said it was, so back in the car.
When we got back, the system was down again (possibly intermittent) so we sat and waited. At 12.55, we, and everyone, were kicked out so the staff could have lunch.
We came back 30 minutes before the end of the lunch break so we could be first in the queue. This ended up being a good decision, as quite a long queue developed.
We handed over our documents and most were acceptable, with the exceptions as noted. Originally they said we would have to bring them back the next day, but we decided to try that day as we still had 2.5 hours until closing.
Or so we thought. While my wife was away getting the marriage certificate copy stamped and after I had picked up the last available document there, I was waiting for her when – an hour earlier than expected/advertised – all of the officers began leaving.
We were really grateful when the immigration officer who had looked at our file earlier was happy to come back and finish dealing with us (we are really grateful to Umeirah for this). After going through everything again, she had us wait while she entered it in a different room.
When she was done, she gave us a piece of paper which had a return date three weeks later. That was it for visit one. We had been informed that we might have a formal interview during which the officer could test us on our knowledge of each other (luckily, a year ago I trained my occasionally forgetful wife to know my birthday by setting it as her luggage code!), but that didn't happen.
I went back on my own on the given date and was first in the queue for new files. After waiting a little more than 90 minutes I was called to the cashier and paid. She printed me a receipt and made me get it photocopied around the corner. I then took that copy to another counter after another 20 minutes to swap it for my passport, complete with visa.
When looking into how to apply, I saw on a couple of sites that people were paying additional fees of RM500 or so. That might be due to paying an agent. All we had to pay was the security bond (variable on nationality as above), visa fee (for me RM90, for 6 months) and stamp duty (RM10).
I mentioned the house photos earlier; I was told there was a chance that the Immigration Office might do a home visit to check we were actually living there. Apparently they look for photos of the couple, look in wardrobes to check there are clothes for both of you, and they might even check your saucepans to see if they are being used! It's all to check you are actually living as a couple.
Anyway, sorry for the long read. I hope you find it useful. All comments welcome. If you are a regular reader, normal service resumed very soon; if you have come just for this, please do stick around to see if you like my reviews, and good luck with your application!

Use French when no translation
I disagree with your project of changing the actual default language when no proper Breton version is available.
Yes, that was clear. I'm trying to see if there is some principle we can agree on, so that we can star from there to build an agreement. Not answering my questions does not help.
I've been trying to answer your question(s) the best I could for about a week now, with no success I confess, it seems your mind is already made from the start. You want to change our fallback language (because we're French and French people speak French), something nobody is asking for on our wiki (because precisely we're trying desesperately to survive with a litte bit less French around in our life and building an enciclopedy in our language is one of the answers for that). Therefore, I don't see what kind of agreement could possibly be on the table there, or it is English, or it is French.

Fort Lauderdale Fishing Report – June 2009Posted on: June 17, 2009
Fishing in Fort Lauderdale during the month of June is truly satisfying. There is an abundance of activity inshore and offshore. Take your pick or fish both sides, I can guarantee that you will go home with a sore arm, a huge smile and a memory to last a lifetime.
Now on to the good stuff; fishing. In the late afternoon, the inshore bite is hot and heavy for giant Tarpon. It's common to get 5 – 6 bites by 100 lb'ers during a 4 hour period. On June 5th, the Lady Pamela II went 2 for 5 on the Tarpon bite just inside of Port Everglades. After putting out our baits, it didn't take long before he was on. The 5 ft Tarpon started his series of jumps and our anglers enjoyed every second of the fight. Throughout the night, we had 4 more strikes, one of those being a solid hook up. After a few minutes on the line and one good jump, the fish managed to pull the hook and give it back. Our anglers went home happy as clams with a story to tell their friends.
Fishing offshore in Fort Lauderdale is nothing short of epic. Whether you're making a deep drop for Daytime Swordfish in 1,800 ft or trolling over the reef just a mile offshore, you'll find action. The Kingfish, Mahi, Barracuda, Blakfin Tuna and Bonito will show themselves and stretch your line.
Not only is there action below, the Lady Pamela II has come across schools of jumping porpuses swimming alongside the boat and a handful of sea turtles mating on the surface.
We've found great success with Daytime Swordfishing, the bite has definitely picked up. They're hungry and willing to battle with you during the day and the night. Broadbills are one the toughest fighting game fish in the Southeast, average encounters last more than an hour. If you're looking to tug on something big, Swordfishing is the trip for you, during the day or night.
Summertime is Mahi time. June is well-known for its solid Dolphin bite as it is peak season from now until the end of July. The seas lay down, the water heats up and the weed lines drift on the surface. Weed lines are always a good sign when searching for Mahi offshore. Come across a weed stack a few miles out and chances are you'll have a run in with a school of 30+ beautiful blue-ish green Dorado's looking to eat. They put up one hell of a fight and fillets make for a great meal. Fresh Mahi – Mahi is a true South Florida souvenir.
June is also the time of year when we head across to the Bahamas for sportfishing expeditions. The weather is perfect, the seas are calm and the fishing is nearly endless. The yellow eye snapper bite is red hot in 850 ft water. You can reach your limit in no time and leave 'em biting for the following day. The Lady Pamela II has traveled to Bimini quite a few times this month and caught monster size Mahi – Mahi, Wahoo on the troll, giant Amberjacks on the wrecks and we've seen two 500+ lb Blue Marlin jumping within feet of the boat. How can you go wrong?
Fishing is strong and steady in all places with all techniques this time of year. So, let's get out there and catch some fish!
Sea ya on the water…
Tight Lines!

So… here I am unemployed again. Well technically unemployed. As in I do not have a job to go to anymore. I have had numerous good interviews, I'm trying to write long gestating ideas, and eBay is a wonderful thing. However, having experienced now three periods of unemployment in two years there is one word that comes to mind and one image that keeps popping up in my head.
That word is gratitude.
That image is this one:
For those of you who don't know, that is one of the greatest wrestlers of a generation trying to gather up every bit of strength left in his body so he doesn't collapse into a puddle on the floor. And that is his wife beside him transferring everything within herself into his soul.
Thank God I have someone like that.
The worst time between jobs lasted almost a year. Not once, not once did my wife give me any grief or waver or do anything that showed other than absolute eternal love. It was amazing.
See, if you don't know this about Western culture then I hate to be the one to break it to you, but society expects the man to be in charge. I am the one to get a job, make money, sacrifice all time outside of the home while she is the one to raise children and cook and clean and all that stuff. We have never been like that but I didn't realize how much our home is a council and not a dictatorship.
I cant find work, so she did. She's not here (because she's now working) so I try to keep everything neat and tidy at home. She cooks dinner because I'm horrible at doing it. But I did the dishes after!
Today we were laying in bed, debating taking a nap while the kid took his. Here I am, unwashed, losing my hair, losing work. I can tell her every member of the Avengers but I cant tell her why the car makes that noise. I can tell her all the Days of Future Past but I cant tell her what tomorrow will bring. And this woman was giving me the biggest smile and had an inner light in her eyes that radiated unconditional love for me.
I could be gypsy cursed to live forever and it still wouldn't give me enough time to tell her how thankful I am that she married me. While I am not perfect, and while life has given more downs than ups lately I know that as long as I'm with her tough times will never be permanent.

Earlier this year, news broke that at least fifty people had been a part of a ring of college admissions cheating, ranging from falsified varsity sport records all the way to fraudulent SAT and ACT tests. While this was a shock to everyone, what isn't a shock is that the most privileged in our nation,...

Polarized Politics

November 6, 2019
Garfield's political climate is more polarized than ever. Compromise, bipartisanship, and unity have been replaced by identity politics, polarization, and discord. Politics have become binary; we view people as either with us or against us, with no room in the middle. This attitude undermines our school...
Worthless Walkouts

Garfield students are tired of walkouts. I don't blame them. Our walkouts are rising in frequency and diminishing in passion.

Am I Still a Woman – Life After Cancer
Tell me about that painting! – Am I Still a Woman?
Cool Painting…
- What does it mean?
- What was the story behind it?
- Why were you compelled to make it?
- How long did it take you?
I find that when people are drawn to artwork, these are just some of the questions that are going through their heads. Something catches their eye and keeps them exploring.
Since I too am asked these questions, I've decided to create blog posts to explain what my work is about and what compelled me to create it. My goal is to bring more meaning, understanding and appreciation for each piece. I also hope it helps ignite curiosity and enthusiasm in you, my reader.
Today, my 'Tell me about that painting!' I'm going to discuss is:
Am I Still a Woman?, Acrylic on canvas, 48×60, 2012 it's the story of a woman who had cancer; beat it; but lost parts of her body as well as part of her identity in the process. The Question of 'life after cancer' is real for her. Though I never have had cancer, I've seen enough of people go through it to embrace their fears and feel their trepidation of what is life going to be like afterward. The colors I chose for this piece represent what she may have been feeling when being told by her doctor, 'you have cancer.' She went through the surgeries and chemo and now is left with scars and a few less body parts that previously defined her womanhood.
She has rid the cancer from her body, but at a price. She no longer has her breast or her uterus and fallopian tubes. As she is walking forward in life and trying to see the future for herself. Her body is scarred by stitches across her breast and her abdomen. The red by the stitches represent not only her bleeding from the physical changes but of what her definition of who she is as a woman. Under foot are two clear boxes, which represent caskets. In one is her breast and in the other is her fallopian tubes and uterus. She looks to the side, not wanting to truly face her emotional pain. She wants to believe she is more than her physical appearance or a vessel for a fetus. In the background on the left side are the words not easily visible Am I Still a Woman? she asks herself that not sure if she is ready to answer. And not sure if society will still consider her whole.
Though this piece may seem quite morbid, I find it uplifting. I find that since she is still walking forward in life she is going to be ok. Her posture is straight and her chin is up. It's ok that she is questions and mourning her body. After mourning comes healing. She will be able to answer her question and feel whole again. I have no doubt.
I've always enjoyed painting strong women or women seeking clarity on a physical or spiritual realm. I appreciate women who dare greatly and even if they fail, they've achieved by attempting what's scary to them.
This piece was part of an exhibition called Beauty Imperfect from 2012 promoting women's health and breast cancer awareness and survival. You can find it and other pieces from my Beauty Imperfect collection.

Robshaw's Rule
A football report in The Times yesterday spoke of Stoke City's "febrile defence". What can the reporter have meant? "Febrile" is a synonym for "feverish". Did he mean that Stoke's defenders were all running a fever? No, I don't think so: I think he meant feeble. He was tempted by a word that sounded similar but more impressive and didn't bother to check the meaning. This is further proof of what I think I shall call Robshaw's Law: Where two words sound similar and occupy roughly the same semantic area, writers will tend to choose the more impressive-sounding word over the more accurate one.
That's not a very snappy rule. But I think it's right. It explains why people consistently and wrongly choose fortuitous over fortunate, simplistic over simple, and however over but.
Oholibamah permalink
I disagree with this one. It's possible to use the word "feverish" — and by extension, febrile — outside the narrow meaning of "having a fever." Off the top of my head, I'd put the figurative meaning as something close to, "involved in a lot of excitable action." Example" "We worked feverishly to tidy the room before her arrival…"

Bronchitis Treatment
Post: #1
Bronchitis Treatment
Bronchitis Viral - Bronchitis Treatment - Patience is Not a Virtue When It Comes to Bronchitis
Quote:Writer once said that every time medical science demonstrates that with proper resources and with proper treatment, diseases might be treated if they aren't cured.
Aspirin - a drug which is usually used like an "analgesic" for reducing minor pains, body aches etc. However, aspirins aren't recommended being used by children unless they're advised by their doctor. Even if you are a stranger in the world of Bronchitis Treatment, once you are through with this article, you will no longer have to consider yourself to be a stranger in it!
Bronchitis might be cured if you learn the ways for making yourself better. These information might also be very helpful for your caretaker. Relieve the cough. A substantial amount of the words here are all inter-connected to and about Bronchitis. Understand them to get an overall understanding on Bronchitis.
Try Getting Enough Sleep
If you don't sleep due to the inability to breathe normally, try increasing your bed's head. When you do this, the nasal passages and sinuses would have better amount of drainage and it won't induce a "tickle" inside the throat. We wish to stress on the importance and the necessity of Symptoms Bronchitis through this article. This is because we see the need of propagating its necessity and importance!
Chronic bronchitis does entail long-term treatment when compared to acute one. Medical findings reveal that there's no cure for this chronic bronchitis. The prime objective for us to treat this kind of illness is by relieving you from these symptoms and by keeping off the complications.
Antibiotics - there are some antibiotics which would be prescribed by doctors for treating individuals who're in danger to develop various other complicated matters. Acute Bronchitis is the substance of this composition. Without Acute Bronchitis, there would not have been much to write and think about over here!
Some doctors may recommend the consumption of antibiotics. But this is suited only for infections which recur. Also, the usage of steroids like Corticosteroids may sometimes be prescribed to those who may not act according to the recommended treatments. There are few doctors who might not prescribe this kind of medication as it may lead to many side effects. Corticosteroid is used only when its needed. Get more familiar with Acute Bronchitis Drugs once you finish reading this article. Only then will you realize the importance of Acute Bronchitis Drugs in your day to day life.
Use drugs which don't need a prescription. There are many recommended such medicines if you possess acute bronchitis. These drugs are given to decrease fever and any other discomfort pulled in by these kinds of symptoms. In addition to what we had mentioned in the previous paragraph, much more has to be said about Bronchitis Treatment. If space permits, we will state everything about it.
Since cough might be very annoying, you must find ways to stop coughing. The very effective action is drinking plenty of fluids (non-caffeinated) like water and juices. Studies reveal that water is a best expectorant for easing your cough and it's thin like mucus. If you find anything extra mentioning about Symptoms Bronchitis, do inform us. It is only through the exchange of views and information will we learn more about Symptoms Bronchitis.
Acetaminophen - a drug which is commonly used for relieving soreness of our body and fever as well. 2. Ibuprofen - this drug is given for individuals for giving aid to the fever which they possess. Once you are through reading what is written here on Symptoms Bronchitis, have you considered recollecting what has been written and writing them down? This way, you are bound to have a better understanding on Symptoms Bronchitis. .
The chronic bronchitis is to be considered very severe then you'll have to do "oxygen therapy." This is a kind of therapy which administers oxygen as its therapeutic modality where the oxygen supply would be heightened. With the use of a nasal cannula or a mask, oxygen would be supplied to us. The title of this composition could be rightly be Bronchitis. This is because what is mentioned here is mostly about Bronchitis.
You're a smoker, it'll be recommended to you to discontinue smoking. Substances inside a cigarette have irritants which may contribute for the severity of the cough. We have gone through extensive research and reading to produce this article on Bronchitis Drugs. Use the information wisely so that the information will be properly used.
Industrial Pollution is Another Culprit
Chronic bronchitis is found in higher-than-normal rates among coal miners, grain handlers, metal molders, and other people who are continually exposed to dust. But the chief cause is heavy, long-term cigarette smoking, which irritates the bronchial tubes and causes them to produce excess mucus. We have not included any imaginary or false information on Chronic Asthmatic Bronchitis here. Everything here is true and up to the mark!
Acute bronchitis is usually caused by a virus. It is more common during the winter months and often develops after an upper respiratory illness such as influenza (flu) or a cold caused by a virus such as coronavirus, adenovirus, or a rhinovirus. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) may be a cause, especially in adults older than About 10% of the time, acute bronchitis is caused by bacteria.
What Causes Bronchitis?
Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses, and it may occur together with or following a cold or other respiratory infection. Germs such as viruses can be spread from person to person by coughing. They can also be spread if you touch your mouth, nose, or eyes after coming into contact with respiratory fluids from an infected person. Using our imagination has helped us create a wonderful article on Bronchitis Caused. Being imaginative is indeed very important when writing about Bronchitis Caused!
Shortness of Breath
Aggravated by exertion or mild activity Frequent respiratory infections that worsen symptoms Wheezing, shortness of breath, recurrent infections and cough all appear as symptoms of this problem. While these also occur in those with simple asthma, those with chronic asthmatic bronchitis tend to have increased severity and frequency of these complaints. Even the beginner will get to learn more about Types Bronchitis after reading this article. It is written in easy language so that everyone will be able to understand it.
Treatment for Acute Bronchitis:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history Extent of the condition Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies Suppressing our knowledge on Chronic Bronchitis Symptoms is not our intention here. In fact, we mean to let everyone know more about Chronic Bronchitis Symptoms after reading this!
When the main air passageways in your lungs (bronchial tubes) are inflamed, they often produce large amounts of discolored mucus that comes up when you cough. If this persists for more than three months, it is referred to as chronic bronchitis. Mucus that isn't white or clear usually means there's a secondary infection. This is a dependable source of information on Bronchitis Cough. All that has to be done to verify its authenticity is to read it!
Bronchitis Symptoms
Cough is a common symptom of bronchitis. The cough may be dry or may produce phlegm. Significant phlegm production suggests that the lower respiratory tract and the lung itself may be infected, and you may have pneumonia. Enhancing your vocabulary is our intention with the writing of this article on Bronchitis Mucus. We have used new and interesting words to achieve this.
Expectations for the course of the condition Water Drink a minimum of eight glasses of water or other fluids every day. This will help to keep mucus thin, making it easier to cough up. Avoid sugar and dairy products because they tend to weaken the immune system and cause excessive mucus production. We have avoided adding flimsy points on Acute Bronchitis, as we find that the addition of such points have no effect on Acute Bronchitis.
What is Bronchitis?
Bronchitis is defined as an inflammation of the bronchi. Bronchi are airways in the respiratory tract that bring air into the lungs. This inflammation is typically caused by viruses or bacteria, but it may also be caused by inhaled irritants, such as cigarette smoke or harmful chemicals.
Since the immune system is the best (and in most cases, the only) way to fight the infection that causes bronchitis, patients might benefit from taking supplements that support and boost the immune system. Bronchitis came into being some time back. However, would you believe that there are some people who still don't know what a Bronchitis is?
How can You Prevent Bronchitis?
A vaccine for a Haemophilus influenza, which commonly causes bronchitis, was developed in 1985. However, since the vaccine only boosts immunity for six months, it is typically only administered to those most at risk.
Anyone who wants to limit their risk of bronchitis should stop or not start smoking. Even secondhand smoke may lead to bronchitis. Workers who are often exposed to dust or irritating chemicals should wear a dusk mask to prevent inhalation. Everyone who wants to decrease their risk should also limit their exposure to air and traffic pollution. It is of no use thinking that you know everything, when in reality, you don't know anything! It is only because we knew so much about Common Bronchitis that we got down to writing about it!
Most bronchitis cases are the result of a virus, and antibiotics are only designed to treat bacterial infections. Many doctors are aware that antibiotics are ineffective for bronchitis, but prescribe them anyway because they feel pressured by the patient to treat something besides the symptoms.
Most cases of bronchitis cases involve a viral pathogen. The inflammation is usually the result of the mucus lining of the airways becoming swollen due to irritation. Anyone may contract bronchitis, but people with weak immune systems, such as children and the elderly, are particularly vulnerable. Common Bronchitis are basically interesting parts of our day-to-day life. It is only that sometimes, we are not aware of this fact!
Study from 2002 titled "Azithromycin for acute bronchitis" published in the medical journal "The Lancet" referred to this pressure from patients, concluding that "Many patients with acute bronchitis require their physicians to 'do something.' "And that it should not include the "defensive use of ineffective antibiotics." After reading what was written here, don't you get the impression that you had actually heard about these points sometime back. Think back and think deeply about Acute Bronchitis.
Many have claimed good results with taking colloidal silver for bronchitis. Colloidal silver can be taken orally or through a nebulizer. If you would like to take colloidal silver for the treatment of bronchitis, it may be interesting to note that some patients have reported the best results with true colloidal silver versus inferior products that are mostly ionic solutions.
What are the Symptoms?
Coughing up phlegm or spit, difficulty breathing, and wheezing are all common bronchitis symptoms. Patients typically seek treatment for bronchitis once the coughing becomes uncomfortable or painful. If the inflammation is particularly severe, fatigue, fever, or chest pains may arise. In rare cases, gastrointestinal bronchitis symptoms may arise. Developing a basis for this composition on Bronchitis Treatment was a lengthy task. It took lots of patience and hard work to develop.
Immunologists have long warned that over prescription of antibiotics will only lead to stronger and more resistant bacterial strains. Unnecessary prescription of any medicine can be harmful, and patients who take antibiotics may suffer side effects such as vomiting, headache, and rash.
Are you looking for a natural cure for bronchitis, coughs & colds? Well, I am going to tell you what worked for me. About 13 years ago, I had a horrible case of bronchitis. I never believed in natural cures back then so I went to the doctor... and then back to the doctor... and then back to the doctor because it never went away. For 3 months, I had this horrific cough that was making me nuts. The doctor put me on antibiotic after antibiotic and then he put me on steroids. I was only about 28 years old... way too young for all of that.
She Told Me to Do 2 Things..
1. to start drinking fresh carrot juice and 2. to go buy "homeopathic cold pills" from my local health store. In the back of my mind, I still thought this was crazy but I did it anyway. I went to the local health store for a few days and bought carrot juice and I bought the "cold pills" as well. Don't be surprised if you find anything unusual here about Bronchitis Coughs. There has been some interesting and unusual things here worth reading.
Since then, I have gotten married and had a child so I have been limited on time and the last thing I feel like doing at the end of the day is cleaning up a juicer... so I have stuck with the homeopathic cold pills as well as chewable Esther Vitamin C. They both work really well to stop bronchitis, coughs and colds naturally. And again, I have never had a problem like I did 12 years ago. Having a penchant for Bronchitis Coughs led us to write all that there has been written on Bronchitis Coughs here. Hope you too develop a penchant for Bronchitis Coughs!
Ok, I Will Continue With My Story
So I had had it at this point. I was talking on the phone at work to some stranger and she couldn't help but comment on my chronic cough. I had told her I had bronchitis for 3 months and she told me exactly what to do. Had it been 3 months earlier, I would have thought she was nuts but at this point, I was willing to try anything. I had been sick way too long. There has been an uncalculatable amount of information added in this composition on Bronchitis Coughs. Don't try counting it!
3 days, I was a new person! My cough was GONE. I couldn't believe it... 3 months of taking drug after drug... and paying money after money! After that, I went out and bought a juicer and started juicing carrots every day. We have included the history of Bronchitis Coughs here so that you will learn more about its history. It is only through it's history can you learn more about Bronchitis Coughs.
Well, I am happy to say, I am 41 now (ok, that's not the good news.. ha, ha) and I haven't had a case of bronchitis since then. Nor have I hardly had a cold... and when I do have one, it is always a short version because I now know how to cure it naturally. We would like you to leisurely go through this article on Bronchitis Coughs to get the real impact of the article. Bronchitis Coughs is a topic that has to be read clearly to be understood.
But please don't spend a lot of money on homeopathic cold pills, though... or any vitamins for that matter. I have bought homeopathic cold pills as well as other vitamins at my local health stores and spent way too much on them... for way too long. You can buy them for a lot cheaper online. There is a lot of jargon connected with Bronchitis. However, we have eliminated the difficult ones, and only used the ones understood by everyone.

Traffic jam in Bangkok is a nightmare. Moreover, hailing a taxi in the hot and humid weather of this popular Asian tourist destination is an unpleasant experience. But this will be a thing of the past when taxis go high tech in the country. Research by members of the King Mongkut's University of Technology Thon Buri combines the three technologies of base-map software, GPS and Geographic Information System (GIS). and GSM or CDMA mobile networks to enable customers to get the nearest available taxis faster and more conveniently.
How does the system work? Taxis will be installed with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver and a terminal equipped with a GSM or CDMA Sim. This will enable taxi cooperatives to know the exact location of each cab and its availability to take passengers. In the HQ, staff monitor the taxis using a base-map software as well as the existing radio system. Passengers requiring a taxi can either call from a taxi kiosk at convenient public places or send an SMS and receive an immediate answer from a taxi-calling number. Once the various systems can be coordinated, other information such as weather, vehicle speed and traffic flow could be included to analyze and transmit vital information to the drivers and passengers. Besides increasing the efficiency of the taxi service, this new system could also enhance security as all taxis could be tracked in real time and emergencies could be handled with better control and immediacy. In the long term, this could be extended to buses and private vehicles and may greatly improve traffic conditions in the city, as well as reduce pollution.

There is a solution to every problem. This rechargeable motion light with a magnetic stick-on mounting will likely be the solution to many people's problems around the house. Be it a dark wardrobe. A guide to the bathroom at night for the elderly or a child. Or perhaps something more permanent like a light source you can take with you in a dark shed attic or garage.
Here is a video of my initial thoughts.
The case is a fairly strong aluminium with a plastic strip across the front. Under this are 40 LEDs that emit a bright, low powered, glow. In the middle of the plastic panel is a plastic (removable) bubble were the motion sensor lies in wait. The blurb suggests the motion sensor light is housed under an advanced anti-glare panel. I call it fairly transparent plastic that does the job.
The motion sensor can detect movement of a person in a range of around 10 feet. The description states there is a 120° angle for detection but depending on which way you mount this, you might get different results, vertically appears to have less of an angle. Once the motion sensor is activated and the LEDs are on, the unit will automatically turn off after 15 seconds if there is no motion thereafter.
The use of the energy-saving LEDs allows the 1000mHA rechargeable battery allows the unit to operate for a long time. Obviously, this depends on how often it is activated. In my shed, somewhere I go at the weekend and rarely at night, the light lasted almost a month before I had to charge. However, having my father-in-law to stay for a week and his frequent bathroom runs during the night gave the light a good workout and it lasted a full week. I saw it die on the last night of his visit when I set it up. This was using it over 7 days on half power.
A full charge through USB can take around 3 hours from empty to full and there are four working modes. Off and On being two of these. The other two are full brightness and half brightness and in the middle of the night, half brightness is plenty bright.
The one stroke of genius here is the mounting method. I expected screws or plastic hooks. Instead, you have a stip of metal with 3m tape along the back. You put this up and the light sticks to it, easy to remove and charge then remount, you can even do it in the dark. However, as the magnets are in the back of the light you can actually mount it to anything metal meaning once you have decided where it is going, you can move it temporally and attach it to a radiator or metal shelf in another location.

Update your RetroPie-Setup script first, then try again. Your version of it is too old and the

@marus You don't need to update your packages, just your Retropie-Setup script. Without a more recent version of the scriptmodule for
mame2003-plus, you won't be able to install it.
marus last edited by marus
@mitu So updating only the script i will remain to 4.3, right? Do you think i need a backup before updating script or is a task safe enough to avoid it?
Other option could be installing from SSH I suppose....

Ok, I've updated script and had success to install mame2013-plus.

The Meaning Behind 108 Sun Salutations
Why 108?
This number continues to appear in many places in the worlds of yoga, religion, and ancient tradition, continueing to be considered a sacred number symbolizing spiritual completion; The japa malas are composed of 108 beads, pranayama is completed in 108 cycles, and the Sun Salutations are completed in nine rounds of 12 postures (total of 108). The significance of the number 108 is open for interpretation.
108 appears plenty of other places too:
- 108 is the number of "Upanishads" comprising Indian philosophy's "Vedic texts".
- 108 in Eastern philosophy symbolizes a complete circle.
- 108 in Numerology symbolizes the ultimate number of the divine.
- 108 pithas, or sacred sites, throughout India.
- 108 is the number of names for Shiva.
- 108 is the number of names for Buddha.
- 108 is the Chinese number representing "man".
- 108 is the number of beads on a Catholic rosary.
- 108 is the number of beads on a Tibetan "mala"
- 108 is twice the number "54", which is the number of sounds in Sanskrit (sacred Indian langauge).
- 108 is twelve times the number 9, which is the number of vinyasas (movements linked to breath) in a Sun Salutation.
"The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are." – Rumi
So what makes the number 108 so special? It is often said that "the entire universe is within us", or "what is happening above us is mirrored within us". Not only do we see the number 108 in our external surroundings, but what is even more astonishing is that we see the number 108 manifesting right in the inner core of our being. It is said there are 108 energy lines, or nadis, converging to form the heart chakra, and 108 marmas(pressure points) or sacred parts of the body. And 108 degrees Fahrenheit is the internal temperature at which the human body's vital organs begin to fail from overheating. Incredible, isn't it?
Like the mantra Aum, 108 seems to have an essence that connects us to the whole of existence. Whether it's used to guide sun salutations, to tally up the number of chants to the Divine, to count the steps leading up to a temple, or to measure the structures built for the heavens, it serves as a reminder of the wonder and interconnectedness of the universe.
Why 108 Sun Salutations?
The practice of 108 sun salutations is a moving meditation in honor of the sun as the life giving force, the change of season, and in honor of our changing selves. Typically this ritual is performed 4 times a year, with the start of each season to acknowledge the changing world around us. Personally, I practice twice a year with the Earth's major seasonal changes – the Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice. Consider it a time to connect with your goals in alignment with the seasons' turnings points.
Summer Solstice – The summer solstice is the marking point half way through the year, the height of summer and the Earth's longest day and shortest night. On the longest day of the year, the sun radiates its energy directly into your being, filling you with the purest form of power and vitality. Summer Solstice serves as a half way mark to check back in with your goals, and to see what opportunities need to open up for the rest of the year leading up to Winter Solstice.
Winter Solstice – The winter solstice brings the darkest day of the year, symbolizing death and rebirth. Winter Solstice is a time to look back at what you've achieved in the year, to let go of what doesn't serve your self-development (death), and to set clear intentions and objectives to look forward to in the new year (rebirth).

Advantages Of Insurance
Insurance is a means of protection which usually provided by an insurance company to protect people or business organizations from financial, uncertain loses and the risk of a contingent. Insurance transaction involves the person who is insured assuming a guaranteed and known relatively small loss in form payment to the insurer in exchange of the insurers promise which involves compensation of the insured when there is a loss, even if the loss may not be financial it must be reducible to financial terms.
Some of the types of insurance include auto insurance, commercial insurance, casualty insurance and many more. Vehicle insurance covers both the property risk which includes damage or theft to the vehicle and legal claims arising from an accident, the property holder is protected against financial loses associated with the accidents such as in a traffic collision and theft. Home insurance is an insurance which covers someone's home when damages occur to the owner's belongings, and the damages may include earthquakes and other natural disasters.
It is essential to ensure your home, automobile, and other things are insured to prevent spending a lot to pay for the loses. Insurance is a safety net when risks go wrong for example in a family should a member be lost. Insurance has helped many businesses to run smoothly without difficulties even when a member goes out of the commission or even equipment. Insurance provides an intangible piece of mind for example the people who own businesses can take on certain business ventures, this is because they can shift the risk.
Some states require some properties to be insured for example automobiles to help mitigate risk of life on the roads, they also make it compulsory to compensate workers because it is a compulsory insurance. Insurance benefits individuals and organizations in more ways than people realizes, it helps in management of cash flow uncertainty in an organization and also provides the payments for covered losses hence paying for the losses out of pocket is reduced significantly. Insurance ensures efficient use of the resources that are insured because it sets aside a large amount of money to pay for any financial consequences that may arise making people to use money more efficiently.
It is crucial to do a lot of research in order to get the best insurance company for your organization, home or automobile because this is the only way to know if the company is licensed. Reach out to your insurance companies social media platforms like Facebook and see how they respond to your issues about coverage. Getting a good insurance coverage that is affordable for your car and home is important because you will never look for loans hence your financial expenses will not exceed your families budget. It is important to consult an agent or a broker cause they will help you to get better coverage rates and also help you to shop around.
A Simple Plan For Investigating Services

The 12th Pfizer Health Index, an annual survey which charts the health perceptions, attitudes and behaviours of Irish adults, was today launched at the Royal College of Physicians in Dublin.
Focusing this year on the theme of workplace health, the findings of the Index were discussed by guest speakers, Prof. Anne Drummond, Director of the UCD Centre for Workplace Safety and Health, Kate O'Flaherty, Director of the Health and Wellbeing Programme at the Department of Health and Health Index Ambassador, former Rose of Tralee and Startup Founder Maria Walsh. Paul Reid, Managing Director of Pfizer Ireland presented the findings to an audience of healthcare and employment-related associations and stakeholder groups.
The Pfizer Health Index is a national study of health and wellness, and focuses on topics such as attitudes and perception of health, disease incidence, illness experience and impact, health funding, interaction with medical services and levels of health insurance. This year's findings demonstrated that:
- The majority of people surveyed (63%) rate their health as 8 out of 10 or higher with 14% giving their health a score of 10 out of 10;
- Key personal priorities for Irish people continue to be family health and wellbeing, personal health and financial health;
- The volume of people holding a medical card dropped just one point from 2016 to 42%. Numbers of medical card holders in Ireland first began to increase in 2010 and remain at recessionary levels.
- In terms of medical insurance levels, 26% of people of those surveyed have neither private medical insurance or a medical card;
- Engagement with medical professions is relatively high with 30% of those surveyed having visited their GP in the last month, and 41% having attended a screening in the last year;
- Irish people view the greatest priorities for Government spending as – 1. health (75%), 2. education (50%)and 3. job creation (30%).
Each year, the Pfizer Health Index focuses on a particular topic and this year, the topic of health in the workplace was chosen. The survey asked questions such as how workers feel about health and wellbeing, how stressful their jobs are and how and whether employers in Ireland prioritise workplace health.
In terms of workplace health, the Pfizer Health Index found that:
- 80% of Irish workers feel they have a good work/life balance and 88% of people find the content their job interesting;
- The vast majority of people say they have a good relationship with colleagues with 92% of those surveyed giving their work relationships a ranking of between 3 and 5;
- The average number of sick days per year is 3.56;
- In relation to disease incidence, 27% of those working have a health condition – high cholesterol, high/low blood pressure, asthma, chronic pain and arthritis are the most common conditions;
- Workplace stress is an issue in Ireland with 62% reporting moderately to very stressful work environments;
- The majority of people (75%) have never discussed a health issue with their employer, citing a lack of understanding/ability to support as the main concern in doing so. For those who did speak to an employer about their health, the vast majority (80%) found their response to be good or excellent;
- 17% of those surveyed have their private health insurance paid for in full by their employer;
- 51% have flexible working options – they can start early, finish early, make the most of flexi-time and job-sharing options.
Unveiling the Pfizer Health Index findings, Paul Reid, Managing Director of Pfizer Ireland said, "Each year, the Pfizer Health Index shines a light on a new aspect of health policy. This year, as the economy recovers and employment levels continue to rise, it is timely to be focusing on workplace health and to ask questions of employers and employees – as one of Ireland's largest private sector employers, at Pfizer we are pleased to participate in the conversation. Against a backdrop of economic renewal, it is also noteworthy, that again in 2017, the survey shows that people view health as the greatest priority area for Government spending."
Kate O'Flaherty, Director of the Health and Wellbeing Programme at the Department of Health, said, "We know work is good for our health and the workplace is recognised internationally as a priority setting for promoting and improving health and wellbeing. Healthy Ireland is currently developing a national Healthy Workplace Framework, which aims to maximize the opportunity this presents to improve the health of a large part of our population. Building a workplace culture which values health and wellbeing will be of benefit to all sectors."
Professor Anne Drummond, Director of the UCD Centre for Safety and Health at Work, said, "The majority of adults spend so much of their time at work that protecting and promoting the health of the working age population can only be good for individuals, organisations and ultimately the economy, thereby benefiting every citizen. The Pfizer Health Index results highlight areas of their health that are of concern to Irish workers. These results are timely in the context of the current development of a national Healthy Workplaces framework as part of the national Healthy Ireland goal, and confirm that workers see the value of good health."
Health Index Ambassador, Maria Walsh said, "As workers, we are continually tackling challenging phases in our professional lives – while also managing our personal lives. The Pfizer Health Index has shared insights into how we need to collectively start taking accountability for sustaining and also further developing workplaces driven by employee wellbeing. This has particularly been shown to be the case for the 30+ age bracket. While I am a 'newbie' to the 30+ group, I am not new to the conversations on the importance of a healthy work/life balance. It is essential we all push towards and promote these conversations at work."
