The Third Annual Echosynthetic Fest is coming November 8th and 9th to Atlanta, and though I'm not allowed to officially announce anything yet, I'll let the picture hint that we're moving from The Earl (home of the last two festivals) for our third outing.
If you're interested in playing the show, this is your opportunity to be a part of our biggest lineup yet. Again, I'm not able to officially announce anything yet, but we've got two synthwave tours making stops at the show this year...including some massive west coast talent. What does this mean? Slots are VERY limited.
Echosynthetic Fest is 100% door split. If the show does well then everyone gets some cash in their pocket. I don't have a cut. Once the venue, promotion, and staff are paid, every other penny goes to the artists who play. That being said, if you're looking to make a killing by playing Echosynthetic Fest, this may not be the show for you. We broke even the first year, everyone got a little something last year, but it's not going to fill your bank account. It's more about the experience of coming and hanging out in Atlanta in what can only be described as a family reunion. Even if you don't know each other personally, you're going to be family by the time you leave. The post-Echosynthetic Fest comedown to reality is for real.
Unless explicitly discussed with an artist on a super rare one off, I do not have the funds to get you here or get you back home. I know, it sucks, but this is not a for profit blog and it never has been. I'm a dude with a wife, kids, and a full time job on top of Echosynthetic, and any spare money I have will be going into making sure the festival can happen in the first place. On the flip side, I will be booking an Air BnB for any out of town guests that are interested in having a place to stay. In short...if you want to play the show, you gotta really want to play the show.
If you've read all of the above and you're still interested in playing, please drop me a line at: email@example.com. See ya in November, and more news to come once we get the lineup squared away!

Client: Army Product: Recruitment Media: VR, 360⁰ online content, recruitment fairs, experiential
In brief: Engage potential recruits with the excitement and adventure of life in the Army.
Making a short story long: We could tell people about the excitement of a job in the Army, but they were never able to really experience it for themselves. We changed all that with Occulus Rift VR headsets that allowed people to take part in four fully-immersive experiences. We came up with the storyboards for each experience and partnered with VR experts to bring each one to life. Used in careers fairs and recruitment events, the Army experienced a 66% increase in applications while running this campaign.
Please note that the films below were filmed during a full 360⁰ immersive experience.
If you were to do these for real, you'd be able to look all around you as each of the activities takes place.

On March 18 a FlyDubai Boeing 737 flying from Dubai to Rostov-on-Don crashed shortly after attempting to land, killing all 62 passengers and crew aboard. As we knew from the first day, the weather in Rostov-on-Don was horrible, with limited visibility and gusty winds. However, bad weather in and of itself doesn't take down planes.
The pilots knew about the bad weather before departure, and loaded plenty of extra fuel in anticipation of some possible missed approaches. Around the same time time as the FlyDubai plane attempted to land, several other planes also had go arounds, and some ended up diverting to other airports.
In the case of FlyDubai, the plane attempted to land once, but had an aborted landing due to the conditions. Then they circled for about 90 minutes hoping for the conditions to improve. Then they came in for a second approach hoping for improved conditions, and they ended up aborting that landing as well. That's when things got bad, as the plane crashed just moments after the go around.
Below is the footage of the plane going down at what appears to be a nose down angle. It's horrifying to watch.
As usual, aircraft accident investigations can take years to complete, and intermediate reports are released every so often. Last week the most recent accident report was released, and it rules out a mechanical failure or violent weather as being the cause of the accident.
Popular Mechanics has a great explanation of what happened to the downed FlyDubai plane, according to the most recent accident report. Basically the crash was due to the pilots being disoriented, a phenomenon known as "somatogravic illusion." Here's the explanation:
During a go-around after an aborted landing, a plane tends to be lighter than normal since it's at the end of its flight and has burned up most of its fuel. That means its thrust-to-weight ratio is relatively high, so when the pilot pushes the throttle forward from idle to full thrust the plane accelerates with unusual alacrity. This acceleration pushes pilots back in their seats, which to the inner ear feels exactly the same as tilting upward.
Black-box data show that as the plane started to enter the cloud after the second go-around, the flight crew briefly pushed the controls forward so that its rate of climb decreased, as if the pilots were momentarily disoriented. Then the plane returned to its previous rate of climb. For a few seconds, all was normal. The flight crew members were almost certainly following their instruments, as years of experience had taught them to do. Then, as if suddenly disoriented and unable to believe their instruments were correct, the flight crew pushed the stick far forward.
The pilots probably believed they were preventing the plane from getting too nose-high, which could cause the plane to stall and crash. But in reality they were taking a safe situation and turning it deadly. The lurch downward would have caused them to rise up in their seats as though on a roller-coaster zooming over the top of a hill. By the time they rocketed out of the bottom of the cloud and gained a visual sense of their orientation, they were in a 50 degrees vertical dive at more than 370 mph and just a few seconds from impact. There was no time to pull out.
In conjunction with the other factors involved, including horrible weather and fatigued pilots, that explanation certainly makes sense.
I'll be curious to see the final accident report…

How to style Bernie Sanders: Local makeup artist on beautifying the Bern
Ever wonder what it's like to style Bernie Sanders? Wonder no more! Makeup artist and stylist Megan Lanoux, a Twin Cities native, just had the pleasure of getting Sanders camera-ready firsthand. After her styling work graced the cover of Hollywood Reporter, we got Lanoux on the phone to give us the behind-the-scenes dish.
First of all, how did you get this gig?
Hollywood Reporter is a client of mine, and they reached out to my agent and asked if I'd d be interested. The shoot was very intense. I've never had a background check done on me for a job before. They had to make sure I wasn't crazy.
Normally shoots are very artistic and everybody's very lax but this was the complete opposite. They had to inspect my bag, check my coat and my purse. When they were done I felt like I had gone through security and could get on an airplane.
What was grooming Bernie like?
When he got there he was like, "I don't have a lot of time." They had 30 minutes to shoot a cover and do the interview. I just had a lint roller, a comb, and some powder. I brushed his eyebrows and combed down his hair, because it's a lot like the pictures: a little crazy. I lint rolled and I was out.
So is he a pretty low-maintenance beauty guy?
He's very low-maintenance. His assistant said he doesn't like a lot of makeup. He was definitely a minimalist.
Was he nice while you were grooming him?
Yeah, he was really nice. He was like a sweet, older man. His wife was there, and you could just tell they were so in love. Before they took a picture, he would look at his wife and ask if his jacket looked okay and she would be like, "Pull your shirt down." When they were done, he'd go give his wife a kiss, and I was like, "They're so sweet… they're so in love." You could tell she's a very supportive wife.
He was very nice to me as well. We didn't have a full-on convo, but he shook my hand and was very friendly. He said thank you. [He was] very polite.
As a makeup artist, what would you say is Bernie's best feature?
That's a really good question. Even though his hair is a little bit crazy, I would say his hair. Its texture is thick, he has a good amount, and it's got a nice color.
It gives him that iconic look. We all know somebody who is a wise, older man. He has a very endearing personality, not threatening, intimidating, or snooty. He comes off very nice and relatable.
Have you done makeup for any other politicians?
No, this was the first. The seriousness on set was very different from what I normally experience. Usually I walk in and it's very relaxed and creative. With this shoot, it was a very different vibe. Much more serious. It's not about the makeup or the clothes or what backdrop you're using. He's a politician — he cared more about getting his point across than about his look.

Occupy protests take banks battle to US home front
PROTESTERS have "reclaimed" foreclosed properties, shouted down foreclosure auctions and waved banners outside banks as part of a nationwide day of action by the Occupy movement to draw attention to the plight of home owners.
PROTESTERS have "reclaimed" foreclosed properties, shouted down foreclosure auctions and waved banners outside banks as part of a nationwide day of action by the Occupy movement to draw attention to the plight of home owners."The basic message of the 99 per cent is that everybody deserves a place to stay, everybody deserves a place they can afford," said James Vann, an Oakland architect.Vann was holding a protest sign on the steps of the Alameda County Courthouse while about 40 protesters chanting, "Shame on you!" surrounded auctioneers attempting to sell off homes in arrears."The courthouse steps are a dramatic, shameful place where a home is passed by anonymous people to anonymous people," said Tony Wilkinson, a retired warehouse worker who lives in Berkeley. "Each one of these transactions represents a family and lives. This may be legal, but it's criminal."The "Occupy Our Homes" events, a series of direct actions and gatherings held in more than 20 cities across the country, including Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose, represent a new phase for the Occupy movement.It came as demonstrators marched on Capitol Hill to occupy the offices of members of Congress in Washington, DC.Occupy encampments locally and nationally were recently evicted by city governments. Now, in claiming common ground with home owners facing foreclosure and challenging big banks on their lending practices, the movement is focusing on an issue that highlights economic inequality.More than 6 million homes have been seized by banks since 2007 and another 8 million are likely to undergo foreclosure over the next four years, according to a report by Michelle Meyer, Bank of America Merrill Lynch senior US economist.The Obama administration's attempts to address foreclosures through voluntary programs for banks to reduce mortgage payments have helped only a fraction of struggling home owners, according to banking regulators.But President Barack Obama has picked up on the protesters' message, venturing into the conservative heartland of Kansas to deliver his most pointed appeal yet for taxes and regulations to level the playing field."This country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share, and when everyone plays by the same rules," he told a crowd packed into a school gymnasium.Mr Obama warned growing income inequality was undermining the middle class. He said it "gives lie to the promise that's at the very heart of America: that this is the place where you can make it if you try"."At stake is whether this will be a country where working people can earn enough to raise a family, build a modest savings, own a home and secure their retirement," Mr Obama said.It was the President's third trip out of Washington in three weeks to press for passage of the payroll tax break set to expire next month. Under the Democratic proposal, which Republicans have blocked, the cut that would go to most working Americans would be offset by a surtax on people earning more than $US1 million a year.

Wedding Cake Cheeses are becoming increasingly popular for good reason. They are proving to be an economic and stylish alternative to a traditional sweet fruit wedding cake. They look great, being entirely natural, showing off their own stylish colours and wonderful textures. They taste even better!
Many wedding parties find that they are making a great addition either as a cheese course or even as the centrepiece for an evening event. They are perfect with wine, beer and cider and hungry guests will delight in a substantial feast along with chutneys, pickles and a selection of crackers to complement.
Celebration Cheese Cakes are not just for weddings – they are perfect for all celebrations such as graduations, birthdays, anniversaries and Christenings.
Please call us on 01934 742810, we will be very happy to discuss this further if you are interested. We need a little notice to select, prepare and cut the cheese for you, so ask for at least two weeks notice for this bespoke service.
Our whole cheeses are approximately 13 inches in diameter (330mm).
We can cut to whatever depth you require- anything from 1 inch/25mm deep (around 2.9Kg) to 4 inches/102mm deep (around 11.4Kg). You may even select the age of the cheddar used so that you determine the strength of flavour.
We also sell other British guest cheeses in our shop in Cheddar such as Blue Stilton, Yarg and Shropshire Blue so are happy to provide more than just cheddar cheese rings if you wish.
Basically, it is made up of tiers of different cheeses. As in a traditional cake, the tiers get smaller towards the top. You can have two, three, four or more layers, each one being a different cheese. Many Cheese Cakes start with a substantial base of a cheddar ring, cut from a large truckle.
Building on this you can arrange your tiers stacked directly, or place risers and supports between the layers. You might complement colours and textures using a Shropshire Blue, a Cornish Yarg or even a classic Somerset Brie. The Cheese Cake can be decorated to fit in with your theme and mounted on a wooden board, or even a slate. Let your imagination fly!
We are the proud makers of authentic handmade award-winning cheddar, the UK's most popular and best-loved cheese. We can offer you a choice from our classic range of Cheddars (from Mellow to Classic Vintage or Cave) to form the base and foundation of your Wedding Cheese Cake. We'll select and cut the wheel to order for you. You will know that you have simply the best. We can offer you a proven choice of other tasty cheeses for balance and variety. As we have been making and providing Wedding Cheese Cakes for many years, we know what works and we will provide you with a memorable tasty talking point for years to come!
You should estimate between 50g – 100g per guest. 50g-70g is a good guide if your Cheese Cake is being enjoyed as a cheeseboard course.
You can order as far in advance as you wish! Ideally, we need a minimum of two weeks notice for our truckles, and three weeks if we are supplying complementary layers of other cheeses such a brie or Stilton. We will happily talk you through the order and give you an outline price which you pay in advance. Once the final cut is made we will adjust the price accordingly.
We will package your cheeses using environmentally friendly materials, along with ice packs to keep your cheeses cool. We send via DPD using a tracked courier system with text notification. We time your cheese to arrive two days before the event. We can deliver to a home address or to a venue.
Each cheese should be refrigerated until the big day. You assemble in situ, either stacking the cheeses directly or using separators or tier stands to create extra height. You simply unwrap the cheese, assemble and decorate.
The decoration you choose is entirely up to you, but we think simplicity is the best. The cheeses look delightful and stunning on their own and make a great talking point.
The simple use of fruit such as grapes or even figs, for example, can provide a lovely compliment. You may wish to incorporate flowers or decorations to fit in with your wedding theme. Your florist will be able to advise you.
Our whole truckles of cheddar weigh in at around 25kg to 28 kg however, we can cut a "slice" of Cheddar from any one of our whole truckles of cheese to any depth you require. The diameter will always be approximately 330mm (13″). We can offer you Mellow, Cave Matured or Vintage. Please see our tasting notes for further details. All of these are award-winning cheddars – and they are striking in taste and looks.
Stilton, Shropshire Blue, Cornish Yarg, Somerset Brie are also available to build up the tiers. The diameters are set out below. Most Celebration Cheese Cakes follow the traditional tier system with smaller cheeses on top and customers have the option of ordering more of the smaller cheeses, so nobody misses out on the selection!
All our cheddars are suitable for Vegetarians, and we'll try to source guest vegetarian cheeses if requested too.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Long before Ronald Reagan died on Saturday, you can bet that most major metropolitan daily newspapers had already written the former president's obituary. It's standard practice in the news biz to pre-write an obit for ailing public figures, and Reagan, on a death watch after ten years of battling Alzheimer's, would have to be one doozy of a package. Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle, which included an eight-page Reagan pullout, sure looked like more than a weekend afternoon's reporting, and indeed it was. According to Chron managing editor Robert Rosenthal, nearly all of the material in Sunday's paper was prepared in advance. In all, the Chron ran ten stories on Reagan, totaling nearly fifteen thousand words. The stories were of course updated to reflect the latest circumstances, but otherwise most of the legwork had already been done, from the reporting to picking the photos, Rosenthal says.
One giveaway was that "now-retired" staff writer Larry D. Hatfield was listed as a contributor to the main story. Hatfield retired more than two years ago. Reached by phone, he recalled having gathered material for the Reagan obit at some point prior to his retirement, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly when. "I did a lot of obits ahead of time," he said, adding, "It helped to have the research done" when it came time to write the real thing on deadline.
The Contra Costa Times had two Reagan stories -- one on his dealings with UC Berkeley, another on his time as governor -- prepared in advance, says Times managing editor Chris Lopez. Ben Bagdikian, former dean of UC Berkeley's School of Journalism who spent many years working for dailies, says he wrote Winston Churchill's obit when word spread that he was ill. To put together a story or a package of stories on a major historical figure like Churchill or Reagan "is not something you do overnight," Bagdikian says. Death-watch reporting might sound insensitive to some, but Rosenthal says readers benefit from having more thorough and thoughtful stories on major figures such as Reagan. "I'm sure many major papers in the country have the pope's obit done already," Rosenthal says.
To Criticize or Not to Criticize?
Very few people like to speak ill of the dead, and most people probably don't want to hear the dead dissed -- except for unapologetic lefties who thought Reagan was the one Great Satan. The activist Web site Indybay.org, for instance, contains a eulogy listing "criminal acts in the life and times of the 40th U.S. president," including the Reagan administration's support of murderous right-wing regimes in Central America.
That's downright polite when compared with this documented response: According to activist Web site Indymedia, hundreds of demonstrators at Saturday's war protest in San Francisco cheered upon hearing that Reagan had passed away. (Feeder didn't notice that little nugget anywhere in the mainstream press; of course, their stories were written years in advance.)
Harsh reactions. Still, they're refreshing compared with the hollow platitudes coming from local congressional Democrats who built their careers bashing Reagan and his politics. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, a well-known critic of Reaganomics, issued a statement saying, "Ronald Reagan served our country with dignity and he died with dignity. As an American, I appreciate Ronald Reagan's great leadership and service to our country. As a Californian, I admire the special grace and humor that endeared him to millions."
As a party leader, Pelosi had to say something nice. But what about Feeder's favorite cranky congressman, Fremont Demo Pete Stark? Surely Pete would find it within himself to say or do something inappropriate. This, after all, is the guy credited for: a) calling a female colleague a "whore for the insurance industry"; b) challenging a Republican, whom he called a "little wimp" and a "little fruitcake," to a fight; and, c) asking a National Guard sergeant who criticized a Stark vote why he's "such a great goddamn hero" on an angry voice-mail. Stark also refused to vote for a resolution wishing Reagan a happy birthday last year. So what did Stark say on the occasion of Reagan's death? "While I often disagreed with his politics," Stark said in a statement, "I always admired President Reagan's willingness to work with Democrats and the respect he showed those of us on the other side of the aisle."
Wow. That's almost classy. Well, Pete, you're learning. At the age of 72, you're finally learning.
Then Again, Maybe She Won't
With its petty politics and shaky finances, the Peralta Community College District -- which oversees Berkeley's Vista College, Oakland's Merritt and Laney colleges, and the College of Alameda -- is like a dysfunctional family. This past April, the district adopted former Oakland Mayor Elihu Harris as its new chancellor. So guess who recently toyed with the idea of joining the Peralta family? Harris' estranged wife, Kathy Neal. It has all the makings of a juicy soap-opera story line: Ex-wife campaigns to become her former hubby's boss. Unfortunately for gossips like Feeder, Peralta insiders say the Elihu and Kathy show won't ever make it to Must-See TV or PCTV.
Neal's name recently surfaced as a possible candidate for the Berkeley and Oakland hills district seat now occupied by trustee Susan Duncan, who hasn't decided whether she's going to run for re-election. Neal's name took some insiders by surprise. Her pals in labor, specifically the Peralta Federation of Teachers PAC had already endorsed someone else, Cy Gulassa. Some folks wondered if Neal's rumored interest in running for trustee wasn't so much political as personal. After six years in married-yet-separated bliss -- apparently following Willie Brown's formula for successful nuptials -- Harris formally filed for divorce in December.
Neal, a former member of the state community college board of governors, told Feeder she'd been approached by some people about running. As for whether she'd actually do it, Neal wouldn't give a definitive answer for the record. But at press time, all indications were that her trial balloon had popped, and she probably won't run after all.

Trazodone Overdose Amount, Symptoms & Treatment
Trazodone is a generic prescription drug that's approved to treat depression but also has many off-label uses as well. Some of the reasons a doctor might prescribe trazodone include to help with insomnia, fibromyalgia, diabetic nerve pain, and panic and anxiety disorders.
There are quite a few reasons doctors prefer trazodone over other antidepressants and sleep aids. First, as compared to other antidepressants, trazodone tends to work well when others don't. For example, trazodone may be effective in patients who didn't get results from SSRIs. As compared to other sleep aids, trazodone tends to be less expensive and have fewer potential side effects.
Trazodone is classified as a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor (SARI), and it's believed to work by preventing the reuptake of serotonin, which is a brain neurotransmitter. It doesn't have many of the side effects of tricyclic antidepressants either.
So is a trazodone overdose possible, and if so, how much trazodone to overdose?
A trazodone overdose is less likely than with other sleep aids or antianxiety medications because it doesn't tend to produce a high. However, it is still possible because it's not something that occurs naturally in the body.
If you were to overdose on trazodone, it's critical to seek help right away, because it can be extremely dangerous.
The trazodone overdose amount can vary depending on the individual and factors such as their kidney functionality because this determines how long it takes for the body to process and remove the drug.
For both adult and geriatric patients the recommended trazodone dosage is around 150 mg a day, although a maximum daily dose may go up to 400 mg a day for people suffering from severe depression. For inpatient treatment, dosages may go up to 600 mg a day.
For pediatric use, the recommended dosage should begin at 25 to 50 mg and only go up to 150 mg per day.
Anything beyond these dosages could lead to an overdose of trazodone. The trazodone overdose amount is also dependent on whether or not you combine it with other substances. For example, your risk of an overdose goes up if you combine trazodone with alcohol, central nervous system depressants or antihistamines.
Causes of a trazodone overdose can include accidentally ingesting it (usually occurs in elderly patients or children), or attempting to adjust your dosage on your own without following the instructions of your physician.
Some of them can include:
- Trazodone depresses the activity of the central nervous system, so if someone takes too much of this drug they may start to feel extremely drowsy, or they could even slip into a coma. Other symptoms related to the CNS include dizziness, coordination problems, and headaches.
- Cardiovascular symptoms are also possible with trazodone overdoses, and more specifically cardiac arrhythmias can occur. Symptoms of this can include fainting and decreases in blood pressure.
- Trazodone overdose symptoms can include shortness of breath and decreased respiration.
- In some cases, something called priapism can occur with trazodone overdose, as well as occurring as a general symptom of this drug. This refers to a scenario where there is a prolonged erection.
When a trazodone overdose occurs emergency care is necessary, particularly since respiration problems can occur.
Trazodone overdose treatment requires the management of symptoms primarily, but in some cases, patients may be given activated charcoal as well.
There are a few things to know if you want to prevent the risk of an overdose of trazodone. First, make sure that this medication is kept away from children or the elderly who may need to be supervised if they are prescribed to take it.
It's also important that it's only taken with a prescription and under the supervision of a physician.
It can take some time and some upping of dosages for someone to feel the effects of trazodone, so this is something that should only be advised by a physician as well. You should never try to increase your dosage on your own, without speaking with your doctor.
Trazodone overdoses aren't highly common, but they can occur. This is especially true if trazodone is mixed with other substances and in particular central nervous system depressants.

Supporting Most Vulnerable Children in Accessing HIV and Social Services in Tanzania through Community Quality Improvement Activities
The implementation of community-based Quality Improvement (QI) in MVC service delivery was initiated in 2010 through support of the USAID Health Care Improvement (HCI) project, followed by the USAID Applying Science to Strengthen and Improve Systems (ASSIST) Project of 2012 to 2017. From 2010-2017, community QI went through numerous stages at different structures and levels of the government, as described below.The initiation of community QI activities for MVC service delivery started at the national level to create buy-in from government and paving the way towards actual implementation at the community level. Multiple stakeholders were ultimately included in the design and implementation of community QI. ASSIST provided QI technical assistance to the Ministry, Regional Health Management Teams (RHMT) and District Health Management Teams (DHMTs), implementing partners (IPs), and community teams, all of which collaborated with one another on activities. The aim was to make sure different parties are involved to ensure smooth implementation of QI activities at various level to bring positive results to vulnerable children and families.This document details the specific changes and activities that were implemented and the best practices for initiation and follow-up when supporting community QI activities for vulnerable children. This document describes what was done from the national level to the community level. The implementation sites are termed as learning sites for different stakeholders to learn and spread the QI learning across councils, wards and villages.
The objectives of this guidance document are:
- To describe the process undertaken to improve quality of services for vulnerable children.
- To document change ideas that were used to strengthen capacity of community QI teams on improving access to HIV and social services among vulnerable children.
- To display lessons learned and recommendations based on efforts that resulted in improved access to HIV and social services among vulnerable children using locally available resources.
- To present tested change ideas and activities that strengthened facility and community linkage in improving retention to HIV care.

DICE's David Jaffe has said that the developer's next project is a game based 'somewhere between God of War and Calling All Cars'.
The company's next project was expected to be a HD makeover of the Twisted Metal games, but Jaffe's description doesn't really seem to fit. We expect to see something related at E3 later this year.
Jaffe added that if they were to attempt a reboot of the popular franchise, they would have to "re-earn each and every fan the series ever had". Well I'm in.
Jaffe also stated that attempting Calling All Cars for the PSN was a 'rookie mistake'.

Invasive species are one of the greatest threats to Samoa's natural heritage. In fact the impacts of invasive
The importance of coastal and marine environments to every aspect of the lives of Pacific Islanders
This document builds on lessons learned from 10 years of DEC-MNRE action on the myna issue, training workshops on invasive species management, a 2015 myna population transect survey (conservative estimate of total population in Samoa between 129,407 and 188,583 birds), appropriate literature and experiences in Pacific and other countries. Recommendations are made on strategies and the priority information needed to implement those strategies.
As we experienced with the Taro Leaf Blight outbreak in the 1990s, the introduction of exotic pests or diseases into Samoa can have disasterous effects on our people and on our economy.
Water lettuce is a free floating aquatic plant in rosettes of green leaves, rosettes occuring singly or connected to others by short stolons whose origins are uncertain. It forms large, dense floating mats. The plant can adapt to life in ponds, dams, lakes and quiet areas of rivers and streams, but cannot withstand salt water. Still continue with observation whether it is to survive in winter.
This document is a product of the GEF-PAS regional invasive species project 'Prevention, control and management of invasive alien species in the Pacific Islands' implemented by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and executed by SPREP.
Pacilic island countries are particularly vulnerable to the effects of invasive species. After habitat destruction or modification, invasive species are responsible for more species extinctions than any other cause. Further, the rate of extinction of native species has been higher on islands than anywhere else in the world. Invasive species have also degraded native ecosystems.
Guidelines for Invasive species management in the Pacific : a Pacific strategy for managing pests, weeds and other invasive species = Directives relatives a la gestion des especes envahissantes dans le Pacifique : strategie oceanienne de gestion des ravageurs, adventices et autres especes envahissantes
Common mynas have been introduced (often as biocontrol for insects) or colonised many islands in the Pacific. They are one cause of decline in some native bird species such as endemic kingfishers, and are a pest when they damage fruit and compete for food to put out for domestic animals.

Losses on job now approaching £150m
Galliford Try has said the cost to complete the road it is building around Aberdeen has gone up by a further £20m taking losses on the job to more than £140m.
In a trading update, the firm said completion of the final section was now due in December after remedial work on the Don bridge, near the city's airport, was hit by weather problems and complexities over carrying out repairs.
Work on the bridge – which involves realigning stretching ducts – was due to finish this month.
But in its update Galliford Try said: "As a result of higher than anticipated direct costs, and the further delay to completion, our estimate of the final costs to complete the contract has increased by approximately £20m."
In September it announced a £25m hit for the second half of its financial year and the boss of its construction arm Bill Hocking said the "vast majority of the road is complete" with 80% of it opening by the end of that month.
He added: "The bridge will be finished in late autumn. After that there is no practical impediment to opening the road."
The firm has now lost £143m on the scheme which was originally let as a £533m lump sum, fixed-price deal to a team that also included Balfour Beatty and Carillion, whose implosion has cost Galliford Try £25m of the £143m figure.
Cenkos analyst Kevin Cammack said: "[The road] is proving to be an almighty construction migraine that simply won't go away. Hopefully the latest expensive dose of tablets will get the job done."
But the firm said it was in "constructive discussions" with client Transport Scotland about recovering money on the scheme which it said in this afternoon's update was "significant".
Hocking has previously said the firm will not bid for any more lump sum, fixed-priced deals and that contracts it has taken on in the last couple of years have been hitting margins of 2%.
In its update, Galliford Try said the underlying construction was trading in line with expectations while its Linden Homes business was making "good progress" against strategic targets.

Rain Man is a 1988 American comedy-drama road movie directed by Barry Levinson and written by Barry Morrow and Ronald Bass. It tells the story of an abrasive, selfish young wheeler-dealer Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise), who discovers that his estranged father has died and bequeathed all of his multimillion-dollar estate to his other son, Raymond (Dustin Hoffman), an autistic savant, of whose existence Charlie was unaware. Charlie is left with only his father's car and collection of rose bushes. In addition to the two leads, Valeria Golino stars as Charlie's girlfriend, Susanna.

It seemed perhaps all too appropriate that on the day after Bill de Blasio, master of somnolent arrogance, effectively won a second term as the mayor of New York City, came a report that a former product manager at Google and his partner had started a company called Bodega, meant to rid cities of actual bodegas.
The idea, which manages at once to be bloodless and blood-boiling, is to fill apartment buildings, gyms, dormitories and so on with app-accessed "pantries,'' known to previous generations as "vending machines," and pack them with the sort of things typically found in corner stores but catered to the micro-demographics of particular environments — paper towels, seltzer, Pirate's Booty, condoms, cans of chick peas. The human element is conveniently expunged.
It is easy to imagine what other politicians past and present would consider doing to two guys who believed that what New York or any city needed was the automation of a serendipitous neighborhood shopping experience — wrap them in drop cloth and duct tape and send them somewhere toward the Panama Canal. It is hard to think of Mr. de Blasio, who addresses New Yorkers as "brothers and sisters," a humorously distancing trope he deploys in his campaign emails as if he were unionizing graduate students at Cornell, getting similarly impassioned.
For a long while now the commentariat has wondered how it is that four more years of Mr. de Blasio, who, despite clear successes, still grates on so many of his constituents, could be considered an inevitability. Part of the answer is certainly rooted in the mechanics of the system — term limits keep potentially serious challengers in the jobs they have until they no longer have them and can mount campaigns more easily. But at a deeper level of the city's neurology, Mr. de Blasio's supreme belief in his own way of doing things, his taste for patronizing lecture, his tendency to justify an absence of humility on the grounds that he is driven by virtue above all, seem well synchronized to the invasion of an equally righteous Silicon Valley ethos, and the culture of disconnection it choreographs.
Will New Yorkers who order dumplings through Caviar or Uber Eats when they aren't making grain bowls from meal-delivery kits at home and managing laundry from an online service so out of touch that it lists "New York City" and "Brooklyn" as separate places under locations served, wind up with a dynamic, big-personality mayor who really listens? Will they find and cultivate someone in the model of former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld, who made a habit of regularly going out drinking with legislators who disagreed with him to get the work done? Or will they default to self-isolation and apathy?
Mr. de Blasio won the Democratic primary by a wide margin — three-quarters of those who voted, voted for him, but less than 15 percent of the city's 3.4 million registered Democrats bothered to show up to the polls. Whatever this might tell us, it did not signal to the mayor that there was any need to feel embarrassed or inadequately fussed over. He was quick to note that turnout in 2009 was even lower, which is technically true but hardly apt given how many New Yorkers sat out the Democratic primary that year because they favored the incumbent Republican turned Independent mayor, Michael R. Bloomberg.
At the moment and timed to the mayoral election, Mr. de Blasio is the subject of a book called, "The Pragmatist.'' Nine days after it landed, it ranked 74,762 on Amazon, which would only seem to further confirm Mr. de Blasio's limited prospects for becoming a face of the counterinsurgency in Trump America. Were Mr. de Blasio more popular, this might have been one of the rare occasions in which a local election involving an incumbent produced a vibrant turnout. This is, in part, because of the national conversation on the renewed importance of state and municipal elections, but also because of the depth of antipathy for the current president in New York and what it would mean to come out in a strong gesture of support for a progressive politician. Under the most amicable of circumstances, mayors have to do battle with the federal government to maintain and increase city funding.
In the November general election, Mr. de Blasio faces the Republican candidate Nicole Malliotakis, who, although she has virtually no chance of winning, is showing us that she will not assume the role of wallflower. A state legislator from Staten Island, Ms. Malliotakis is running a campaign ad that displays a tabloid picture of the mayor taking a nap and has her putting on boxing gloves. The case she makes for herself: "The city that never sleeps needs a mayor that can stay awake." It is not inconceivable that Ms. Malliotakis, despite her conservative views, might benefit from what political analysts call a "Hillary effect,'' a wish among women to vote for a woman, in light of the events of November.
During Tuesday's primary in the city, Brooklyn voters were asked to elect five civil court judges out of a slate of 11 — women won all of the slots and not because they were, across the board, more liberal than their male contestants. Men running everywhere might want to take notice.

The dollar came under moderate pressure today. EUR-USD rallied some 30 pips after expectedly weak Eurozone data, making an intraday high of 1.3396. Eurozone July HICP inflation was confirmed at 0.4% y/y, as expected, while the preliminary Eurozone Q2 GDP estimate dropped to 0.0% q/q from 0.2% growth in Q1. The rebound in EUR-USD was an on-the-fact bout of profit taking on expectedly weak data, which seemed to spark a broader dollar correction. USD-JPY dipped to a low of 102.32, more than unwinding Tokyo session gains to a six-day peak of 102.66. Cable extended to a fresh two-month low before finding a toehold amid the generally softer dollar environment. USD-CAD breached below 1.0900 for the first time since Aug-1.
EUR-USD is higher after expectedly weak Eurozone data, aided by a generally softer tone in the dollar. EUR-USD jumped about 30 pips to an intraday high of 1.3396. Eurozone July HICP inflation was confirmed at 0.4% y/y, as expected, while the preliminary Eurozone Q2 GDP estimate dropped to 0.0% q/q from 0.2% growth in Q1, below the 0.1% consensus forecast but not a surprise following the 0.2% q/q dip in German GDP. The rebound in EUR-USD was an on-the-fact bout of profit taking on expectedly weak data, which seemed to spark a broader dollar correction that has seen USD-JPY, for instance, dip to a low of 102.32, more than unwinding Tokyo session gains. EUR-USD resistance is marked at 1.3415 (yesterday's peak) and 1.3432 (Friday's high). Price action has been turning less bearish since making a nine-month low on Aug-6. A JP Morgan model reckons the euro is 5% undervalued.
USD-JPY dropped back towards 102.30 after extending to a six-day high of 102.66. The high was seen during the Tokyo session following sub-expectations Japanese machinery orders data. The data follows the 6.8% q/q drop in Japanese Q2 GDP and the release of the BoJ minutes to the July 14-15 policy meeting, which showed most members remained committed to QQE as long as necessary. USD-JPY's drop back below the 200-day moving average at 102.38, though we remain bullish, assuming that geopolitical concerns remain contained. Support is marked at 102.17-20 and 102.00-10 (which encompasses the 100-day moving average).
Cable briefly traded below the 200-day moving average at 1.6664 in logging a four-month low at 1.6657, since recovering above 1.6680. This is the first time sterling has ventured below the 200-day average since September 2013. We see potential for Cable to trade as low as 1.6500 in the period ahead, though with U.K. growth expected at 3%-plus this year (consensus is 3.0%, BoE view is 3.4%) we don't seen too much bearish potential beyond here. Key will be at what point in the ensuing recovery we start to see wages pick up, which the BoE said in its Inflation Report yesterday is the key metric being monitored with regard to the timing of a rate hike. BoE MPC member Miles said U.K. growth remains good and that the recovery is not stagnating, and while the degree of slack in the economy means that interest rates can stay low, he also expects wages to rise to a +2% growth pace "soon." Cable resistance is now marked at 1.6725, 1.6766 (last week's low) and 1.6800.
EUR-CHF remains heavy, pressing below 1.2130 again. The cross last Friday made a five-month low at 1.2121, which now marks support, ahead of the cycle low at 1.2104 and 1.2100, which are key support levels. We would expect that the threat of SNB intervention into its 1.2000 peg to deter franc buying below 1.2100. SNB's Jordan repeated recently that the central bank remains committed to defending the currency cap.
USD-CAD has breached last week's low at 1.0903, which is another affirmation of an evolving bearish bias. Last Friday's rally had stalled a few pips shy of the Aug-6 three-month peak at 1.0986, leaving the 1.1000 level untroubled and painting a less bullish technical picture following a two-week rally phase. The recent oscillations within 1.0900-1.1000 are starting to look like a double top formation, which signals reversal potential to 1.0800. Key support is marked by a confluence of the 20-, 100- and 200-day moving averages, contained within 1.0860-1.0870.

Buying a Cars is an expensive venture which most of us will undertake at least once in our lives. Apart from the cost, below are some important factors that can affect your car buying decision.
Mileage and Maintenance: If you are looking for second hand cars for sale in Kenya it's said that cars which have been driven for 20,000KM or less per year are the best. Consequently, it is important that you buy a car that you can maintain, there is no need of buying a sports car or a turbo yet you cannot afford the large amount of fuel they require. Cut your coat according to your cloth.
Test Drive: Ensure that you test more than one car to ensure that the car is in good condition. Do not just settle for the first car you set your eyes on. Know that you can always walk away and check with several dealers to view variety before buying a car in Kenya.
Options: The worst thing to do is to put yourself entirely at the mercy of the car salesman. You need to have a number of good options and some form of information about the particular car make or model that you're interested in.
PigiaMe is one of the best places to start for this. Sample the thousands of new and used cars for sale in Kenya at a variety of suitable prices from our trusted sellers.

We have started our memoir writing unit. To begin, we dove into multiple memoir mentor texts, trying to deepen our understanding of what a memoir really is. We started to realize that memoir and personal narratives are very similar, so we looked at more mentor texts to compare and contrast these text types. Below is a venn diagram we constructed together.
Next, we started to read more memoirs to pull out themes that we can apply to our own lives. From here, we have started brainstorming stories that go with these themes. We will continue to analyze more memoirs and their themes, before we start to draft our ideas.
Below are pictures of students working in groups to analyze text themes.

When Will The Leaves Start to Change in The Hudson Valley?
Do you feel the change? The days are getting shorter and there is a chill in the air.
Fall will be here before you know it and the Hudson Valley will be painted in layers of red, yellow and orange. I think we can all agree that the Hudson Valley is a top destination for beautiful fall foliage views.
So to prepare for the leaf-peeping season I did some research and found an interactive foliage map thanks to SmokyMountains.Com.
According to the map, we'll start seeing some "patchy" foliage coloring around September 21st. Which makes sense, since the first day of Autumn is September 23rd.
By the 28th it looks like we'll have a partial color change.
Once we hit October in the Hudson Valley, the foliage will really be picking up. The map predictions say that by October 5th we will be near peak foliage. While way upstate New York will already have hit peak.
Clear your schedules for the week of October 12th. It's predicted that parts of the Hudson Valley will hit peak that week, while the following week (October 19th) all of the Hudson Valley should see peak foliage.
Are you ready for the color change Hudson Valley?

The deal adds 19 new members to RBZ, including founders Roy D. Kaufman and Howard M. Bernstein, both of whom are CPAs and bring more than four decades of experience. They specialize in providing business management services to the entertainment industry, including actors, writers, directors, producers, composers, as well as company executives and high net worth individuals who come to them for advice on long-term preservation and growth of their net worth.

Alright I am going to try what I did with Faker from wave 3. I will list what states sellers on Ebay are putting as the "ship from" state. This does not mean these sellers found these in that state though. They could have scored them from a border state or via online purchase. I will be going by what figures I find from series 5 in general since I have separate "saved searches" for Scareglow, Stratos and series 5 itself. I will not be listing what figure I saw just the State that was listed in the listing. As for figures this wave:
MOTU Stratos
MOTU Scareglow
TMNT Dontello
X-Files Mulder
X-Files Grey Alien(don't know name)
Alien(s) Blue Xenomorph
States listed on Ebay sellers listings:
Those are the only 2 states I have seen for now. When I did Faker I got up to the high 30's but stopped after I scored mine and stopped seeing listing for him. I am still not sure why I never saw all 50 states when I tried this last time. I am also still worried about distribution both last time and this time.

Report Urges Oregon Community Foundation to Focus on Disparities
Although the Oregon Community Foundation is committed to advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), it needs to step up its efforts to address the most pressing disparities in the state, a report from Philamplify, an initiative of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, argues.
Based on surveys, a document review, interviews with stakeholders, and data analysis, the report, The Oregon Community Foundation: Can It Build a Statewide Legacy of Equity and Inclusion? (72 pages, PDF), found that Portland-based OCF, the eighth-largest community foundation in the country, is applauded by its constituents for its investments in rural and urban areas, its culture of volunteerism and proactive donor engagement, and its responsiveness to the Latino community. But the report also found that the foundation's effectiveness is hampered by a perceived cautiousness, lack of inclusion, and underinvestment in grassroots, LGBTQ, and people of color-led organizations. According to the report, only 3.6 percent of OCF's grant dollars in 2012 supported grassroots social justice efforts aimed at empowering communities of color and other marginalized groups, while only 6 percent of the grant dollars it awarded between 2012 and 2014 supported LGBTQ- and people-of-color-led organizations.
While the foundation has established strong benchmarks for its equity, diversity, and inclusion work and, under new leadership, is addressing its reputation for risk aversion, a number of leaders of color interviewed by NCRP said it was moving too slowly on equity issues and that its efforts in that area had yet to show results. Among other things, the report recommends that the foundation embed social justice in its grantmaking and make specific commitments to increase its funding for grassroots organizing and advocacy; better communicate its EDI framework, benchmarks, and data and encourage more feedback from community leaders; and expand its efforts to diversify its donor base and engage donors on equity-related issues.
"Given the critical issues that Oregon is facing such as widespread homelessness, racial inequity, and public underfunding of education, many from Oregon's nonprofit community are impatient to see OCF respond more decisively," wrote Lisa Ranghelli, director of foundation assessment at NCRP and co-author of the report, in a blog post.
In response to the report, OCF said in a statement that as a statewide community foundation with many actively involved donors, it must "reflect and respond to a diverse set of needs, populations, and circumstances....We will publicly share our efforts related to equity, diversity, and inclusion, and will encourage funding partners, the nonprofit community, and community and state leaders to put and keep equity, diversity, and inclusion at the front and center of their work."

My daughter is three years old and we have spent most of our summer outside. I am good about putting sunscreen on my kids and lucky they have good skin. 4 times this summer after playing most of the day outside, my daughter has woken up about 10PM throwing up in bed. She would throw up and then be completely fine. Never sick, no fever. Any idea what this may be? The food she eats those days are not different from other days.

What else can baseball fans do in January but dream of October? In You May Say I'm a Dreamer, the Outside Corner staff will imagine the route to a World Series in 2013 title for all 30 teams.
While a World Championship for the Mariners seemed like a tall order coming into the 2013 season, Jack Zdurencik's squad managed to achieve the impossible and not only win the franchise's first pennant, but win their first World Series. Coming into the year, everyone thought that Seattle would struggle on offense this season. Well, they weren't a group of world-beaters, but the Mariners lineup was in the middle of the pack in the American League, a huge improvement over past years.
New left fielder Michael Morse thrived in his return to Seattle, smashing 35 homers and logging 600 plate appearances for the first time in his career. First baseman Justin Smoak finally broke through at the major league level after a solid finish to his 2012, finishing his year with 26 homers and an .813 OPS. Catcher Jesus Montero contributed 18 homers and a .761 OPS to the team, losing his starting catching job at midseason to rookie Mike Zunino, who hit .323 with nine homers in three months in the majors. In the second half, Montero split time at DH with veteran Kendrys Morales, who homered 12 times in limited playing time.
Seattle's infield defense was one of the top units in baseball, highlighted by their middle infield of Dustin Ackley and Brendan Ryan. Ackley's offense also ticked up a notch from a disappointing 2012, while third baseman Kyle Seager was the team's overall MVP as he put together a five win season.
But when it came down to it, the Mariners won because of their pitching. Felix Hernandez won his second Cy Young award and put together another typical Felix season: 236 innings, 241 strikeouts, and a 2.59 ERA. The signing of Joe Saunders in February was lambasted here on TOC, but Saunders posted a career best 3.29 ERA in 206 innings. Hisashi Iwakuma built on his solid 2012 and was one of the more underappreciated pitchers in the league, and young Erasmo Ramirez was incredibly impressive, bringing back memories of Hernandez at age 23. The bullpen, led by flamethrowers Tom Wilhemsen, Stephen Pryor, Carter Capps, and Charlie Furbush, was untouchable.
In the AL West, it was a two team race from the getgo with Seattle and the Angels. The difference ended up being starting pitching, as Seattle's quartet outperformed the Angels' duo of Jered Weaver and CJ Wilson, while the rest of the Los Angeles staff (including former Mariner Jason Vargas) struggled. The deathblow in the Angels season came on the second to last weekend of the season, when closer Ryan Madson allowed a three-run homer in the ninth to former Angel Morales, putting Seattle ahead 5-3 and giving them a four game lead with six games to play in the division after Wilhelmsen closed it out.
In the playoffs, the Mariners hosted the Tigers in the ALDS, and Hernandez outdueled Justin Verlander twice in Seattle's three games to one series victory. Seattle was matched up with the Rays in the ALCS, and pummeled Tampa Bay into submission, sweeping the team in four games behind the offense of Morse, Smoak, and Zunino. Finally in the World Series, Seattle squared off with the Washington Nationals, and Morse ravaged his former team en route to a six game victory and a World Championship for the Mariners.

Building your routing skills is essential if you're working towards gaining your Juniper Networks JNCIA-Junos certification. In this course, you'll master the basics of IP routing specifically for your Junos devices. First, you'll dive into the fundamentals and discover what is meant by routing in the context of IP networks. Next, you'll explore routing information sources that feed into the routing table on a Junos device. Then, you'll learn about routing tables, the forwarding table, and look at how Junos calculates the next hop for a given network destination. Afterwards, you'll cover routing instances, what some of the different types are, and why you would use them. Finally, you'll delve into static routing, along with dynamic routing protocols, and in particular OSPF. By the end of this course, you'll have the necessary skills and knowledge to utilize your new Junos routing skills in practice, and be one step further in obtaining your Juniper Networks JNCIA-Junos certification. If you are someone interested in gaining Juniper Networks JNCIA-Junos certification or simply want to know more about Routing Policy and Firewall filters this course is for you. First, you will take a look at the concept of routing policies and examine the default Junos routing policies for RIP, ISIS, OSPF and BGP dynamic routing protocols. Next, you will move onto how policies can control the flow of routing information into and out of routing tables. Then, you will explore firewall filters and look at how they work and how they are structured, and what the effects are when applied. Additionally, you will examine a Junos feature called Unicast Reverse-Path-Forwarding (RPF) and how it is used to validate the source of packets received on interfaces. Finally, you will wrap up the whole series of courses and provide some links for JNCIA-Junos JN0-102 exam preparation.

Did you just notice that the horizon in one of your photos was a little bit tilted? Are some of the lines in it not aligned properly the way that they should be?
Although a photo may not actually be tilted by much, it can have a big effect on how the photo is perceived. Subconsciously people tend to feel that there's something 'wrong' or 'unnatural' about photos that aren't level.
How to Avoid Snapping Titled Photos
Needless to say, it would be best if you could avoid snapping tilted photos in the first place – but that is easier said than done. Still, there are a few options that you could attempt:
- Mount the camera on the tripod to ensure that it is kept perfectly level at all times.
- Affix the horizon at either the top or bottom of the frame so that you know it is level. However, this doesn't work if you want areas both above and below the horizon to appear in the photo.
- Use the viewfinder markers or turn on the grid and try to align them with the horizon or any other straight line or object that can act as a reference point.
- Attach a spirit level to your camera so that you can tell whether or not it is level.
- Squeezer the shutter gently and don't press on it too hard to avoid throwing the alignment off at the last second.
Using PhotoWorks to Fix Photos that Are Tilted
Of course, if your photo is already tilted the steps described above won't help – but a quick bit of editing with PhotoWorks can. Due to its intuitively designed features, you will be able to use it to straighten a photo relatively easily.
The best way to fix a tilted photo in PhotoWorks is to open the Composition section and select the Geometry tool. In the various settings that are there, you can adjust the Rotation to rotate your photo until it is level.
It may help to tick the 'Show grid' option so that you can use its lines as a reference point while you rotate your photos. On top of that, you should also tick the 'Constrain crop' option so that PhotoWorks automatically crops your photo based on its initial aspect ratio.
After you're done and you click Apply you can compare both photos side by side and see what big a difference it made. Additionally, you can start to explore the other features in PhotoWorks to enhance the colors, touch up parts of the photo, apply artistic filters, remove unwanted objects, and more.
Overall PhotoWorks will let you fix, stylize, and improve a wide range of areas in your photo once you start to take advantage of its features. Trying it out and using it to fix a tilted photo is a good first step, and should help you to become more familiar with its interface. From there it won't be long before you're using it fluently.

Medical Crisis Guidelines
The Association for IEMT Practitioners - Guidelines for Dealing with Medical Emergency and Psychiatric Crisis
If a practitioner sees a sufficient number of clients then it is a reasonable probability that eventually an emergency or crisis of a medical nature will arise.
It is important that every practitioner is aware of how to respond should such a problem arise.
Realistically, the most common medical emergencies that may arise will involve one of the following: diabetes, epilepsy, asthma or other chronic respiratory disorder, and chest pain.
Less likely, a psychiatric emergency may arise such as threats of suicide, abreaction involving violence or threats of violence, psychosis and/or catatonia.
At the time of writing there is no evidence or suggestion that IEMT itself will trigger any of these problems, but where an individual has a history or disposition towards these problems, a situation may arise during the time the client is present with the practitioner.
In order for ongoing data-collection, research and development, it is requested that the International Director is informed of any problem such as these arising during an IEMT. Client anonymity should be maintained when reporting any arising situation.
Medical Emergencies
It is expected that every practitioner will have received suitable training and experience in basic first aid response and an awareness of diabetes, epilepsy, asthma or other chronic respiratory disorder, and chest pain.
Every client must be asked in pre-assessment for relevant medical and surgical history and for a list of any medication prescribed and taken.
Where there is a risk of instability in the client's symptoms, it is advisable to tell the client to bring any medication - i.e. asthma inhalers.
When working remotely (i.e via Skype) or in a new setting, the practitioner must know of the full address of the client or office from which they are working in case medical help is to be summoned.
It is up to each practitioner to decide on the policy of how they handle any potential emergency. Your legal and civil responsibilities are the same as any other citizen of your country, and in the first instance you ought to call for emergency help without delay if you are concerned for the client's welfare.
Exceptions may occur. For example, if your client is frequently epileptic, and you are experienced, trained and qualified in this area, and have been advised accordingly by the client and the client's treating physician.
Without exception, all instances of chest pain must be treated as potentially life threatening.
The guiding principle for all practitioners is that if you are concerned that a medical problem will arise, such as epilepsy, then the client ought not to be accepted for treatment.
Psychiatric Emergencies
A history of psychotic illness is a specific exclusion criteria for IEMT treatment unless the practitioner has specific training and experience in this area or is operating under direct supervision. However, psychiatric emergencies may arise such as psychosis, threats of suicide/self harm, and violence.
In such instances, it is wise for every practitioner to have to hand a variety of responses and to know to whom to either make a referral or who to call.
Thus it is advised that every practitioner know the contact telephone numbers of the community mental health and mental health crisis teams, the police and each client's GP practice where appropriate.
It is appropriate for the practitioner to seek advise immediately in such a situation and not to try and deal with it alone.
Risk or Threats of Violence
It is sensible to have a zero tolerance approach to violence and to threats of violence and to involve the police where appropriate. All instances of actual physical assault must be reported both to the police and to the association.
It is the belief of the association that an intentionally violent or threatening client loses the right for blanket confidentiality, with ready and full disclosures being permissible to the police and relevant legal and medical agencies only. However, disclosure to the members of the general public is not permitted unless in exceptional circumstances. Any disclosure must be recorded and a copy of the disclosures must be given to the client at the first suitable opportunity including details of to whom, when, what specifically was disclosed and the rationale for doing so.
Suitable risk assessment must be carried out to include things such as medications kept on the premises (including "bathroom cabinet medicines"), working alone, layout of the treatment room for easy exit and objects in the treatment that may be used offensively.
If you feel threatened and/or at risk, it is sensible to not try to control the situation or ask the client to leave. Where possible, in the first instance, the practitioner should leave the situation and create a safe distance and call for appropriate help.

The deeply depressed housing market finally seems to have found its bottom — and may even be starting to bounce back.
A wide range of housing indicators — construction, home sales, prices — has stabilized in the past few months, though remain at historically very low levels. And it looks as if construction activity in particular will pick up in 2012.
The latest evidence of the momentum — new-housing starts for November — was released Tuesday. The surprising 9.3 percent gain bumped the rate of new-housing construction to its highest level in 19 months, to a rate of 685,000 new units a year. The number of building permits issued for new houses and apartments also rose, to 5.7 percent in November.


text: AndreasAsmuss Report post Posted August 28, 2019 Hello CR Society, first time poster here. To preface this thread: I am not someone who practices CR, but I have been interested in the subject and others for nearly a decade. Due to economical and logistical constraints of living in a rural area, I have adopted quite a simplified protocol that entails daily fasting, anywhere from 18-23 hours, and a feeding of 2000-2500 calories of whole foods which include meat (I only eat organic meat from farmers with whom I have personal relationships) and many locally grown vegetables and canned goods which are often given to me for free or in exchange. Often when I read the diets and protocols of other members, I feel a sort of insecurity about my lack of supplementation and extreme variety that some members here seem to enjoy. Nonetheless, my weight has been stable for 6 years throughout this diet and I feel content with my energy levels all around. The main questions of this thread for the members are: 1) Do you ever considering simplifying your routine or diet? 2) Do you ever wonder if you are doing "too much" or more than is really necessary for your health? 3) Could a diet or routine with too many components, supplements, extracts, etc be detrimental in any way long term? The main example for this could be the excess consumption of protein, which can often result in the body simply expelling excess protein. Could it be that the things we are consuming do not have quite the impact we wish and are simply being flushed from our body because our body has no need and has compensated this deficiency with another process? I have many anecdotal examples of people in my community and in my family who have had far above-average lifespans, and most of these people are actually quite simple eaters. They eat junk food as treats, but generally eat a variety of whole foods including dairy, meat, and many canned and pickled goods, as well as fresh vegetables when they are in season. Strangely enough, most of the people I've encountered who live long don't even seem to do strenuous exercise, but lead lives where they walk, garden, read and visit others while shuffling about. To sum up, I often have a suspicion that longevity is not quite as complex and mathematical as we think, and I wanted to see if any other members here felt as though they could maybe be doing less and be just as well off.
