Get into the Tiwi Island rhythm and dive into the language with this new Indigenous play for the whole family.
The Northern Territory contribution to Collected Works: Australia, Wulamanayuwi and the Seven Pamanui bursts with songs and puppetry, as it mixes the enchanting tradition of European fairytales with the Dreamtime characters and stories of the Tiwi Islands.
Wulamanayuwi tells the story of a young girl and her experiences with the spirit-beings of a mystical, dreamtime land. In the tradition of the Brothers Grimm tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Wulamanayuwi- daughter of the rainbow serpent, runs away from her evil stepmother into a land of water spirits, dingoes, wallabies and frogs. Guided by a white cockatoo, she meets the seven Pamanui (spirit beings) who, in a quest to seek revenge and justice, will lead her back home via a path of myth and magic, disaster and adventure.
A mutli-art form delight, Wulamanayuwi will whisk you away into the stories and the world of one of Australia's most unique cultures.

Jambul (Syzygium cumini) is an evergreen tropical tree in the flowering plant family Myrtaceae. Jambul is native to Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Indonesia.[citation needed] The name of the fruit is sometimes mistranslated as blackberry, which is a different fruit in an unrelated family.
The tree was introduced to Florida, USA in 1911 by the USDA, and is also now commonly grown in Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. In Brazil, where it was introduced from India during Portuguese colonization, it has dispersed spontaneously in the wild in some places, as its fruits are eagerly sought by various native birds such as thrushes, tanagers and the Great Kiskadee. This species is considered an invasive in Hawaii, USA.[1] It is also illegal to grow, plant or transplant in Sanibel, Florida.[2]
Contents |
Other names [edit]
Jambul is also known as Jambhul/jambu/jambula/jamboola, Java plum, jamun, jaam/kalojaam, jamblang, jambolan, black plum, Damson plum, Duhat plum, Jambolan plum or Portuguese plum. Malabar plum may also refer to other species of Syzygium. This fruit is called Neredu Pandu in Telugu, Naaval Pazham in Tamil, Navva Pazham in Malayalam, Nerale Hannu in Kannada, Jam in Bengali, Jamukoli in Oriya and Jambu in Gujarat. Jambul is known as Duhat in the Tagalog-speaking regions of the Philippines, Lomboy in the Cebuano-speaking areas and Inobog in Maguindanao.[3] It is called Dhanvah in Maldives and Dhuwet/Juwet in Javanese. Among its names in Portuguese are jamelão, jambolão, jalão, joão-bolão, manjelão, azeitona-preta, baga-de-freira, brinco-de-viúva and guapê, always with lower case, the early four derived from the Konkani name jambulan.[4] They are called rotra in the Malagasy language (Madagascar).[5]
Description [edit]
A fairly fast growing species, it can reach heights of up to 30 m and can live more than 100 years. Its dense foliage provides shade and is grown just for its ornamental value. At the base of the tree, the bark is rough and dark grey, becoming lighter grey and smoother higher up. The wood is strong and is water resistant. Because of this it is used in railway sleepers and to install motors in wells. It is sometimes used to make cheap furniture and village dwellings though it is relatively hard to work on.
The leaves which are an aroma similar to turpentine, are pinkish when young, changing to a leathery, glossy dark green with a yellow midrib as they mature. The leaves are used as food for livestock, as they have good nutritional value.[6]
Jambul trees start flowering from March to April. The flowers of jambul are fragrant and small, about 5 mm in diameter. The fruits develop by May or June and resemble large berries. The fruit is oblong, ovoid, starts green and turns pink to shining crimson black as it matures. A variant of the tree produces white coloured fruit. The fruit has a combination of sweet, mildly sour and astringent flavour and tends to colour the tongue purple.
The seed is also used in various alternative healing systems like Ayurveda (to control diabetes, for example.[7][8]), Unani and Chinese medicine for digestive ailments.
The leaves and bark are used for controlling blood pressure and gingivitis. Wine and vinegar are also made from the fruit. It has a high source in vitamin A and vitamin C.[9][10][11]
Jambul has been spread overseas from India by Indian emigrants and at present is common in former tropical British colonies.[12]
Nutrients and phytochemicals [edit]
Nutritional information for both jambul leaves and fruit are detailed here.
Cultural and religious significance [edit]
According to Hindu tradition, Rama subsisted on the fruit in the forest for 14 years during his exile from Ayodhya[citation needed]. Because of this, many Hindus regard jambul as a 'fruit of the gods,' especially in Gujarat, India, where it is known locally as jamboon.
Lord Krishna has been described as having skin the color of Jamun. In Hindu mythology several protagonists have been described as having the color of jambul[citation needed].
In Maharashtra culture [edit]
In Maharashtra, jambul (locally known as jāmbhūḷ Marathi :जांभूळ) leaves are used in marriage pandal decorations. There is famous Marathi song "Jambhul pikalya zada khali...". The seeds are used in tisanes for diabetics. It is proved to bring the sugar level down
In Telugu culture [edit]
This tree is called Neredu(నేరేడు) in Telugu. Besides the fruits, wood from Neredu tree is used in Andhra Pradesh to make bullock cart wheels and other agricultural equipment. Culturally, beautiful eyes are compared to this fruit. In the great epic of India Mahabharatha Sri Krishnas'[Lord Vishnu] body color is compared to this fruit as well.
Kerala [edit]
In Malayalam the jambul tree is called njaval and its fruit are njavalpazham. The fruit is particularly plentiful in Kollam.
Kannada [edit]
In Kannada the jambul tree is called Nerale mara and its fruit are Nerale Hannu nerale hannu is widely used by diabetes patients as they thought it cures the same. the bears like this fruit. this tree is found liberally every where in village areas of karnataka.

The "Undiscovered Country" up "The River"
While "The River" wasn't my favourite new series when it came out a few months ago — the "found footage" genre just isn't for me, however, I do like the unique site it built for "The Undiscovered Country," the show within the show.
The unique site has all the elements of a proper TV site, with episode recaps, video, galleries, and "news" that lines up with the fictional storylines within "The River." This is a great extension that shows how tranmedia-ish elements can pad out the world of a series. As a non-fan, I haven't really dug into the blog posts to see if there are any clues about the big mystery within the show, but if I was, I would be all over it. For most sites, this kind of thing would be a "nice to have," but considering "The River" is meant to be considered "real," then a site like this would be a must. It's a great way to build out the story-world, and provide a little bit of an interactive easter egg for audiences.
I should also mention that "The Undiscovered Country" looks really great, as it should. For the "30 Rock" one-offs, I can get behind making them look lacklustre if it's just related to a gag… but when a feature is much more essential to the mythology, it should be really thought out, planned and deftly designed as this one has.

If you have a clear-cut career goal and would like to get into the job market quickly, you may want to consider a technical or other specialty program. Technical colleges vary widely in majors, length of programs, cost, and other characteristics, but they have one thing in common: an emphasis on training for a specific career.
"Unlike liberal arts colleges, [technical colleges] generally place students directly in the major, and they take major-related courses in their first term," says Clayton Smith, director of admissions and marketing for SUNY (State University of New York) Cobleskill.
What careers can technical colleges prepare you for? Common fields of study include health care (practical nursing, home health aide), computers, other technology (electronics, auto mechanics, plumbing, heating and air conditioning), culinary arts, business, and more. The specific degree or certificate may vary depending on your field, but two-year associate's degrees are common. Some technical colleges do offer four-year degrees or help students who wish to transfer to a four-year college after earning their associate's. If this interests you, make sure you ask about which credits might transfer to a four-year college.
Technical colleges stress a hands-on approach to learning. At SUNY Cobleskill, for example, culinary arts students run a restaurant, and landscape development students maintain much of the college's grounds.
You should take the same care in choosing a technical college as you would in choosing a liberal arts college. Visit the campus, talk to professors and students, and check out the courses and facilities for your intended major. If you're interested in a field that changes quickly (like electronics, machine technology, or computers), make sure the equipment and facilities are up-to-date.
Attending a technical college can have some disadvantages. Because of the specialized nature of the majors, changing majors can be difficult or impossible without starting over. So do as much research as possible before you start classes: read about the career fields that interest you, "shadow" someone who works in your chosen field, and ask plenty of questions about what a typical day on the job looks like.

Art To Pay For Illustration
I'm currently amassing pictures to sell to help finance my comic book work. Which is odd and backwards but everyone's got funny twists in their careers. Above is a teeny ink and watercolour on handmade paper. It's about five inches by three and a half. I'm thinking of ding a bunch of these and selling them. They are so much fun to do. I love monsters. Also, I've started a series of pencil drawings to sell. These will be mid sized detailed pieces. Work I love doing. Has anyone tried this? Any advice, thoughts?

Privatizing liquor
Liquor store auction nets $31 million for Washington
LACEY, Wash. – An online auction to privatize Washington state liquor stores netted nearly $31 million . It's all gravy for the state budget.
State Liquor Control Board business director Pat McLaughlin said today that nothing was penciled in for anticipated auction proceeds. But McLaughlin says he expected the bidding to be fierce. And it was.
"I'm not surprised at the total number. This has been a very profitable business for the state of Washington. Hundreds of millions of dollars are generated every year and redistributed. I have always thought of this as the ultimate profit sharing program. So it doesn't surprise me that others wanted a piece of the action. I think they'll do quite well," McLaughlin said.
Bidding for the rights to take over the 167 state-run liquor stores ended Friday.
The highest winning bid was $750,100 for an individual store in south Tacoma. The cheapest store license went for just $49,600 for an outlet in Spokane. Starting in June, groceries and big box stores like Costco and Walmart can begin selling liquor too.
Washington voters directed the state to privatize liquor sales via a ballot measure (I-1183) that passed last November.

Think of an island with 509km of Coastline & 155km from the East Coast to the West Coast. With native bushland, wildlife, adventure & exploring. Where pristine beaches, local wines & sunsets are on your doorstep. You'll need longer than you think!
"There really aren't enough adjectives to accurately describe the beauty of Kangaroo Island. In fact, words can almost spoil the moment. Even photos don't do this wildly gorgeous destination justice".Isaac Bober, Symmetry, Australia
Kangaroo Island is a pristine wilderness - a place that has offered protection to substantial populations of native Australian animals, a place of beauty and a place of escape.
Kangaroo Island (or 'KI' as the locals call it) is also big and surprisingly diverse. If you traverse its 155km length you'll find soaring cliffs, dense forest, towering sand dunes, wetlands and massive arcs of bone white beach. But just because it's wild, don't underestimate the welcome...
You'll discover an abundance of sumptuous seafood and local produce to indulge in.Disconnect from the world and reconnect with what and who is truly important to you.
Just some of the fantastic getaways that are on offer include:
Kangaroo Island Quick Fix2 nights + 2 day tour from $669* per person twin share
Kangaroo Island Escape4 nights + 5 days car hire from $735* per person twin share
Island and Vines2 nights, 4-star and 3 days touring from $825* per person twin share
South Australia Family Escape7 nights + 8 days car hire from $1195* per adult and $289* per child
For travel dates please refer to the booking website.Packages are available for booking now to 31 May 2013.
Seaside holiday homes where you'll hear waves lapping on the shore. Bushland cottages with a trail to your own wilderness sanctuary. Luxury lodgings with a chef on call. From budget to well deserved budget-breaking, there's a place for everyone o Kangaroo Island.
The Kangaroo Island Farm Gate and Cellar Door Trail introduces you to producers and products at their source. It invites you to enjoy the rich fruits of Kangaroo Island producers' labours in your own time in a natural unspoilt environment.

While the top of the International Scouting Services 2013 NHL Draft rankings stayed the same in November, the competition amongst the top-10 may just be heating up.
The scouting agency – which just released another set of its monthly rankings of the top draft eligible prospects – held firm to the top three prospects from its October list.
Halifax Mooseheads centre Nathan MacKinnon remained the number one prospect after racking up 18 goals and 32 points in just 20 games so far this season.
Seth Jones – a big defender for the WHL's Portland Winterhawks – remained in second while Finnish dynamo Aleksandr Barkov held on to the number three spot.
From there, however, the deck got shuffled.
MacKinnon's Mooseheads teammate Jonathan Drouin jumped the queue in the top 10, going from his 10th-overall ranking in October to the fourth spot this month.
Said one scout of Drouin: "Can not say enough good things about this player... with added size and grit he would challenge Nathan for Number One overall."
His big surge moved a pair of centres – the Ottawa 67s' Sean Monahan and Edmonton Oil Kings' Curtis Lazar – down to fifth and sixth respectively.
Medicine Hat pivot Hunter Shinkaruk moved up a spot to seventh, jumping Finnish blueliner Rasmus Ristolainen - who dropped to eighth – and Russian winger Andre Burakowsky who dropped to 11th.
Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds defender Darnell Nurse jumped into the top 10 from the 16th spot in October's list, landing at ninth with Swedish centre Elias Lindholm rounding out the top-10, dropping one spot from last month.
Jason Dickinson enjoyed the greatest jump within the projected first round, jumping 12 spots to number 14, while US National team defender Keaton Thompson, Swedish centre Viktor Crus-Rydberg and Seattle blueliner Shea Theodore were amongst the month's debutants.
Check out the full rankings on TSN.ca's DraftCentre page.

Dallas Museum of Art names Anne Bergeron as Associate Director of External Affairs
Bergeron has over 25 years of experience as an arts administrator, fundraiser, and consultant.
Maxwell L. Anderson, The Eugene McDermott Director of the
Dallas Museum of Art
, today announced the appointment of Anne Bergeron as the Museums Associate Director of External Affairs, effective November 5, 2012. The naming of Bergeron to this new role completes the reorganization of the DMAs senior leadership team announced in March, which included the appointment of Robert Stein as Deputy Director and the promotions of Olivier Meslay to Associate Director of Curatorial Affairs and Tamara Wootton-Bonner to Associate Director of Collections and Exhibitions. Bergeron has over 25 years of experience as an arts administrator, fundraiser, and consultant, and has held senior management posts at cultural and educational organizations, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Missouri Arts Council, and the Rhode Island School of Design.
In the newly created position at the DMA, Bergeron will oversee the Museums development, marketing and communications, and visitor services departments, as well as its merchandising and food and beverage activities. As part of the Museums departmental restructuring, the position of Chief Development Officer will be eliminated and the search for a Director of Development, reporting to Bergeron, will be conducted.
Anne brings an extraordinary depth of experience in the field of resource development, including fundraising and operational planning, for non-profits and the arts. Her leadership and critical expertise will both strengthen our organizational development and help us continue to expand and enhance the ways we engage and serve our community, said Anderson. We know she will be an incredible asset to the Museum and are thrilled to be adding her to our team of Associate Directors.
Im honored to be joining the wonderful team that Max has assembled and feel fortunate for this opportunity to help realize the DMAs bold vision for the future, Bergeron said. When it comes to culture, Dallas has long been a one to watch and learn from community and Im delighted to soon be a part of the rich cultural heritage emanating from North Texas.
As owner and principal of Anne Bergeron & Co. Consulting LLC, Bergeron has specialized in resource development for cultural and social enterprise nonprofits. She has helped organizations in the arts, design, education, and historic preservation fields achieve financial sustainability and build community by enhancing their operations and leadership, expanding outreach to constituents, and increasing philanthropic support. She has spearheaded planning for programmatic and capital initiatives, and assisted organizations in creating and implementing viable operating and fundraising plans. Her efforts have consistently raised leadership gifts from individuals and institutions alike. Past and recent clients have included Historic New England, Judd Foundation, National Museum of American Jewish History, St. Anns Warehouse, Inc., U.S. Biennial, Inc., and the World Monuments Fund, among others.
Prior to establishing her consulting firm in 2007, Bergeron held senior management posts at the National Writers Voice Project, where she managed the national expansion of a local literary arts program; the Missouri Arts Council, where she oversaw the programmatic development of a $200-million statewide cultural trust fund; the American Federation of Arts, where she created and led the department of external affairs; and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, where she secured national landmark status for its historic building and multi-million dollar funding towards its exterior restoration.
Bergeron has taught graduate level courses on fundraising and philanthropy at Bank Street College of Education, Brown University, and others. In 2010-12, she served as Visiting Practitioner at the Center for Public and Nonprofit Management at Georgetown University, co-researching a book on the traits and approaches that result in superior museum performance, slated for publication next year.
A native of Connecticut, Anne holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from Trinity College and an executive certificate in nonprofit management from Georgetown University. She is a member of the American Association of Museums, the Association of Fundraising Professionals and The Museum Group.

Mission District
Bernal Heights, Potrero Hill These neighborhoods all share a sunny outlook. Boasting some of the best weather in the city, the Mission District, Bernal Heights and Potrero Hill take advantage of an abundance of fog-free days. New restaurants and night spots are a draw while Mission Dolores, 16th and Dolores streets, is the oldest structure in San Francisco. Many of the city's pioneers are buried in an adjacent cemetery. The largest concentration of murals in the city adorn buildings, fences and walls throughout the district. Potrero Hill's Dogpatch neighborhood is one of 11 historic districts in the city and home to the second crookedest street (after Lombard) in the city.

My name is Henrik Hartz, and I joined Espen and Marius January 2nd this year after working 7 years at Trolltech and Nokia. For the first week and a half I have been getting busy with existing projects while Espen and Marius are pushing new frontiers – for the time being focusing on an Android project.
Aside from 50% growth, we also moved to a new office – literally across the road from the old one. The new place is a lot larger – the three of us share an office – while we have a lunch-room (with a red couch and gaming system) and extra offices to spare. We want to grow even more this year.
After moving in – the place was in a bit of a shoddy state..
After a quick stop at IKEA, we got some new office furniture to get us ready for a busy New Year!
After organizing and cleaning up, we're ready to take on the new year

Article Free PassOccurrence of radioactivity
Another category of natural radioactivity includes species produced in the upper atmosphere by cosmic ray bombardment. Notable are 5,720-year carbon-14 and 12.3-year tritium (hydrogen-3), 53-day beryllium-7, and 2,700,000-year beryllium-10. Meteorites are found to contain additional small amounts of radioactivity, the result of cosmic ray bombardments during their history outside the Earth's atmospheric shield. Activities as short-lived as 35-day argon-37 have been measured in fresh falls of meteorites. Nuclear explosions since 1945 have injected additional radioactivities into the environment, consisting of both nuclear fission products and secondary products formed by the action of neutrons from nuclear weapons on surrounding matter.
The fission products encompass most of the known beta emitters in the mass region 75–160. They are formed in varying yields, rising to maxima of about 7 percent per fission in the mass region 92–102 (light peak of the fission yield versus atomic mass curve) and 134–144 (heavy peak). Two kinds of delayed hazards caused by radioactivity are recognized. First, the general radiation level is raised by fallout settling to Earth. Protection can be provided by concrete or earth shielding until the activity has decayed to a sufficiently low level. Second, ingestion or inhalation of even low levels of certain radioactive species can pose a special hazard, depending on the half-life, nature of radiations, and chemical behaviour within the body. For a detailed discussion on the biological effects of radiation, see radiation: Biological effects of ionizing radiation.
Nuclear reactors also produce fission products but under conditions in which the activities may be contained. Containment and waste-disposal practices should keep the activities confined and eliminate the possibility of leaching into groundwaters for times that are long compared to the half-lives. A great advantage of thermonuclear fusion power over fission power, if it can be practically realized, is not only that its fuel reserves, heavy hydrogen and lithium, are vastly greater than uranium, but also that the generation of radioactive fission product wastes can be largely avoided. In this connection, it may be noted that a major source of heat in the interior of both the Earth and the Moon is provided by radioactive decay. Theories about the formation and evolution of the Earth, Moon, and other planets must take into account these large heat production sources.
Desired radioactivities other than natural activities and fission products may be produced either by irradiation of certain selected target materials by reactor neutrons or by charged particle beams or gamma ray beams of accelerators.
Energetics and kinetics of radioactivity
Energy release in radioactive transitions
Consideration of the energy release of various radioactive transitions leads to the fundamental question of nuclear binding energies and stabilities. A much-used method of displaying nuclear-stability relationships is an isotope chart, those positions on the same horizontal row corresponding to a given proton number (Z) and those on the same vertical column to a given neutron number (N). Such a map is shown in Figure 2. The irregular bold line surrounds the region of presently known nuclei. The area encompassed by this is often referred to as the valley of stability because the chart may be considered a map of a binding energy surface, the lowest areas of which are the most stable. The most tightly bound nuclei of all are the abundant iron and nickel isotopes. Near the region of the valley containing the heaviest nuclei (largest mass number A; i.e., largest number of nucleons, N + Z), the processes of alpha decay and spontaneous fission are most prevalent; both these processes relieve the energetically unfavourable concentration of positive charge in the heavy nuclei.
Along the region that borders on the valley of stability on the upper left-hand side are the positron-emitting and electron-capturing radioactive nuclei, with the energy release and decay rates increasing the farther away the nucleus is from the stability line. Along the lower right-hand border region, beta-minus decay is the predominant process, with energy release and decay rates increasing the farther the nucleus is from the stability line.
The grid lines of the graph are at the nucleon numbers corresponding to extra stability, the "magic numbers" (see below Nuclear models). The circles labeled "deformed regions" enclose regions in which nuclei should exhibit cigar shapes; elsewhere the nuclei are spherical. Outside the dashed lines nuclei would be unbound with respect to neutron or proton loss and would be exceedingly short-lived (less than 10−19 second).

Cancer and the Elderly |
Elderly people with cancer face unique challenges as they battle cancer. The normal aging process and its effects on the body, in addition to the psychological stress that accompanies the diagnosis and subsequent surgery and/or treatment, may adversely affect an aging patient's ability to heal or cope with having cancer. Some of the larger issues elderly patients face include the existence of risk factors, awareness of possible clinical trials and advances in research related to their cancer, planning for palliative care, and financial implications. Risk FactorsThe process of growing older increases the likelihood of cancer. "Older tissues are more susceptible to environmental carcinogens," says Lodovico Balducci MD, Chief of Geriatric Oncology at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida. "Some changes in body environment—decreased immunity, increased resistance to insulin, chronic inflammation—may accelerate the growth of cancer." Dr. Balducci outlined several risk factors and their relationship to age.
Are Seniors Savvy on Treatment, Clinical Trials, Research?Stuart M. Lichtman, MD, Medical Oncologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Commack, NY, says the older population has a number of ways they can access information about cancer treatment and cancer centers, and help with finding doctors and clinical trials. "They are increasingly becoming more savvy and self-reliant but still use traditional methods of obtaining information, such as television, newspapers, and family," he said. "Access to accurate information is an important goal for older patients as they face a greater number of health issues, and use prescription drugs and health care services at a higher rate than younger patients." However, Dr. Lichtman cautions, education and income may play a role in access to or understanding of these data. "Older adults are not using the Internet in place of other traditional media channels; they use the Internet in addition to other media channels," he says. Therefore, he suggests that older adults be given health information in writing. "Additional studies show that despite the use of the Internet, older individuals do not use the information from the Internet to change the way they participate in health care; when it comes to decision-making, older individuals prefer a physician-centered model of care," Dr. Lichtman added. "They also place reliance on their family and friends." Palliative CarePlanning palliative and hospice care are important issues for cancer patients to discuss with their physicians. Palliative care options for the elderly should include goals of care, which may include keeping the patient's pain under control, managing side effects, managing depression, and incorporating the patient's personal wishes. "As with patients of any age, there are those who are prepared for their death and those who are not," says Roma Tickoo, MD, MPH,a geriatrician at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York."I find that most elderly patients are ready to face their death. This is particularly true if the patient has lost loves ones and/or friends and is feeling alone." Dr. Tickoo says often elderly patients will express the opinion that it is "my time to go and I am ready." Challenges often arise with elderly patients in the advanced stages of cancer, such as those who are incapacitated and have not left directives specifying their desire (or lack thereof) for the use of aggressive life-sustaining measures. "Family members frequently wish to protect patients who are frail or who have cognitive deficits, taking on decision making about care," she says. "If the patient has not expressed their end-of-life wishes, family and/or health care providers may feel compelled to press for more aggressive treatment than might be advisable and desired by the patient." Therefore, she advises that "every patient should discuss their wishes about end-of-life with their family and health care providers while they are able to ensure that everyone is on the same page." Financial StrainBarbara A. Murphy, MD, Professor of Medicine, Director of Pain and Symptom Management and Program Leader of the Head and Neck Research team at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, Tennessee, says elderly patients often have financialissues. "Most are retired and no longer working, thus disability is no longer an issue," she says, and therefore time off from work is not a factor. But that does not mean the disability will not impact a patient's financial situation in many cases. "A cohort of patients is financially stable in retirement and has sufficient funds for any medical circumstances that arise. Another group of patients has sufficient funds to deal with most medical issues that arise but do not have sufficient wherewithal to provide for custodial care should they require substantial assistance with daily care." There is yet another group, she continues, of those who live on a small, fixed income. "They may have difficulty dealing with day-to-day finances," Dr. Murphy adds. "The addition of an illness may cause severe hardship due to insufficient funds. These are patients who may need to make a decision about where to spend their money: daily expenses versus medical expenses." Social workers can sometimes help by providing financial counseling and information about community support services. They can also help patients set priorities and find information on pharmaceutical companies that provide assistance programs. Furthermore, Dr. Murphy adds, "a network of families and friends can help by providing meals, transportation, emotional support, and a shoulder to help with the burden." |

Five tips for journalists posting stories on Facebook
Most journalist know that Facebook and Twitter are important tools in building community and sharing stories. I'd like to think the industry has largely moved away from the mindset exhibited by an editor to me a few years ago who walked up to my desk and said "What's up with this whole Facebook thing? I don't get it."
But there's a vast gulf between knowing something is important and knowing how to use it. Here's a few tips for using Facebook as a journalist:
1. Use photos with your stories. Even if it's a file photo. Photos have always pulled in readers, whether it was print, the web or mobile. Facebook is no different. According to a study on people's Facebook habits by social media management firm Virtue, image posts received 54 percent more engagement than text only posts. That's a huge difference. Videos received 27 percent more engagement than text posts. Photos grab our eyes and we know subconsciously when we click on them that we can look and go on our way. A text-only post requires us to invest more time. Photos rule the social media world. Use them.
2. Timing is everything. Do you pay attention to what time of day you post? You should. Do you know what day of the week people are most active on Facebook? What time of day? With such a rapidly updating news stream in most user's feed, getting your post viewed can depend a lot upon when you are posting. According to the same study by Virtue, generally speaking Friday posts have the most engagement while weekend posts have the least. And I can tell you from personal experience that posting a story on a beautiful Saturday afternoon during the summer will pretty much flop. Either wait or post it again Sunday evening after 6 p.m. People begin migrating back at that point.
Of course, posting content every day is the best strategy, but when you do, what times will get you the best reader engagement? According to the same Virtue study, posts made before noon get 65 percent more engagement than posts made after noon. This makes sense if you consider most people's social media habits of checking their feeds first thing in the morning and then moving onto work. But if your posting schedule follows a 9 to 5 routine, you may miss them. If they're starting work at 8 or 9 a.m. and checking their Facebook news feed, are you already there?
3. Interact. Journalism as a broadcast, one-way medium is outdated. Page views aren't the only goal of growing an online audience. Engaging with your audience not only can generate story ideas, it tells your audience that you are engaged. A lot of newspaper Facebook pages I see have readers making comments or asking questions of the staff. When these go unanswered, readers feel they're not being heard and that you don't care. Not good. Stay engaged, don't get defensive or go on the attack, but do answer questions and inform. Be the smart, reasonable source they expect you to be.
4. Promote. Include a link to your Facebook page at the bottom of every story on your website. If your reader liked what they read, they'll be inclined to want to like your page.
5. Don't just post links. Facebook is great for driving traffic to your stories, but use it as a communication tool as well. Don't be afraid to post one-sentence news items, questions or links to other sites. Links will get more likes and engagement, but showing that you're about more than just driving traffic makes you part of the community.

News Starving Charles Barkley Eats an Entire Stripper
"I was so hungry," said Barkley. "For dinner I only had some baked chicken and a vegetable medley or something. It's tough to always count calories. Me and Brandi were fooling around a little bit, her cleavage smelled like cocoa butter, which reminded me a little bit of cookies and before I knew it, I had picked the meat clean from her entire torso."
With only the legs and arms remaining of Brandi, Barkley continued eating the rest of her to cover up any evidence, should anyone notice the 22 year-old Arizona State student missing.
"I think it proves how effective Weight Watchers is," said Barkley. "My appetite isn't what it used to be thanks to them. Full after half a stripper? That never would have happened before."
News Charles Barkley: "I'd have to have a few drinks before having sex in a car with a Miami woman"
"I'm telling you, I don't like these people," Barkley said during an interview on a Dallas sports talk radio station. "And some of the female ones are hot. Real hot. The kind of women I'd normally have sex with in a bar bathroom or nail out behind an Applebee's against a dumpster. But I don't know anymore."
Barkley infamously got arrested for a DUI in late 2008 while racing to get oral sex from a woman he had met an a Scottsdale, Ariz., bar, but he said today that if that incident occurred with a Heat fan, he could never forgive himself.
"That would be a personal low," said Barkley. "I can just see the headline: 'Charles Barkley Gets a DUI Going to Have Sex with a Heat Fan.' It could be the end of my career. I have never believed I'm a role model, but I also don't want kids thinking it's not shameful to have sex with these people."

The "General" classification covers a gamut of surface conditions. If your particular surface material hasn't been specifically identified on this (or other pages) of our site, that doesn't mean that there isn't a protective film that will work for your application … it just means that we either aren't aware of the surface you need to protect or we didn't happen to think of it when it came time to prepare the applications chart. Check out some of the insights in the How to Select a Protective Film and you will probably be able to identify a few films that you would like samples of for testing. Or, just give us a call. We'll be happy to help.

This table is designed to assist you in selecting which Surface Armor products you might want to evaluate for your specific application. As there are many variables involved in the relationship between a protective film and the surface it is applied to, it is usually a good idea to test two or more samples on your specific surface(s) in all phases of the intended surface protection life cycle. This guide can serve as a starting point when requesting samples, which are FREE by the way.
Along the left side of the table you will find various Surface Armor tapes and films listed by their adhesive type, tack level and the material these products are made from.
Adhesive Type – This is the product identification number of the adhesive
Tack – Measured in ounces per lateral inch, this defines the level of "stickiness" of a particular adhesive. Because there are many variables at play, the tack level of most adhesives will be expressed as a range of values rather than a single, specific measurement.
Material – This identifies the product substrate, itself (type of plastic / paper).
The top of the table lists the various surfaces to be protected, grouped by classification.
Give us a call (or email) to discuss various film options, adhesive characteristics, and how they might apply to your specific application. We can probably ship samples to you today.
