Sub-national Capacity Strengthening for Monitoring Socio-Economic Development Plan Implementation (SCSM)
Annual and 5 Year Socio-Economic Development Plans (SEDPs) play a key role in the development process of Vietnam at both national and sub-national levels. However, the implementation of SEDPs in the past often went without proper Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) and was considered a factor contributing to its low effectiveness and efficiency.
Along with the preparing development results-based SEDPs, the Government also undertakes a number of initiatives in monitoring the progress in implementing SEDPs and towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The first SED M&E framework was developed by the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) in 2007 to define the M&E framework concerning the implementation of the national SEDP 2006-2010. It also provides a guiding framework and calls for provinces to develop and implement their own SEDP M&E frameworks and guidelines.
Within the AA4 global initiative, UNDP and SNV Viet Nam have helped Thua Thien - Hue partners in formulating a new project with a goal to develop and field-test a local M&E framework and guidelines to monitor the implementation of SEDPs at all 3 sub-national levels. The project will run for 2 years 2008-2009 by the Department of Planning and Investment of Thua Thien - Hue province. UNDP and SNV will be providing technical assistance to and quality assurance of project activities.
What are the project's key results?
- Local M&E capacity strengthening needs assessed, M&E data stock-taken, M&E indicators and baselines developed
- SEDP M&E framework/guidelines for Thua Thien - Hue province developed, field tested and validated for use in Thua Thien - Hue province
- Lessons learned and results of pilot activities gathered, analyzed and shared for replication inside and outside Thua Thien - Hue province

Skill Level Beginner
When you're working on a photo in the Full Edit workspace of the Editor, you'll do a lot of zooming in and out, and a lot of moving around or panning around the image. So it's useful to know how to zoom and pan most efficiently. When you first open a photo into the Full Edit workspace by default it comes in a floating document window like this, as I explained in an earlier movie, and it will open in that window at the largest magnification that will fit in your editing space and you can see that number here at the top of the document window.
In this case it's an odd percentage. If I want to see the contents of this image in a larger view, I can zoom in on them, and if I want to see more of the image but with the content smaller I can zoom out. Keep in mind that zooming in and out doesn't change the actual size of the photo just the magnification at which I'm viewing the photo. There are lots of ways to zoom. Some are more efficient than others. The most basic way to zoom is to select the Zoom tool here in the toolbar and then to go up to the Options bar and click the plus symbol here to zoom in or the minus symbol to zoom out.
I'll get the plus symbol and then I'll click in the image and that zooms me in to a set percentage, in this case 50 % as reported here in the title bar. In order to ensure that a particular part of the image, say this red part of the boat is visible as I zoom in, I want to put my cursor on top of that boat as I click. Now, if I want to zoom out, I'll click the minus symbol in the Options bar, and I'll click several times in the image to zoom out by set percentages. When I'm working with a document in a free-floating document window like this, I like to resize the actual window as I zoom in and out.
So in the Options bar for the Zoom tool, I'll generally click Resize Windows To Fit. Now, I'm going to click the plus symbol and I'm going to click in the image, and you can see that the document window has expanded as I zoom in on this image, and if I click the minus symbol and I zoom out, the document window resizes to fit the image. As you get more used to working with Elements, you'll realize that you don't have to use the Zoom tool per se in order to zoom in and out. So let's say that I'm working with another tool, say the Brush tool and I'm painting in my image and then I've realized that I want to zoom in.
Instead of selecting the Zoom tool, I'm going to press the Ctrl key on my keyboard and then press the Plus key a couple of times, and each time I do, I'll zoom in on the image. If I want to zoom out, I'll hold the Ctrl key down again as I click on the Minus key on my keyboard. There are lots of times when it makes sense to view an image at 100% of its actual size and that means that every pixel in the image will be assigned to one pixel on your screen. That's important to do when you're at the step of sharpening an image for print, and you want a sense of how it's really going to look when it prints.
One way to view your image at 100% is to go back and select the Zoom tool, and then to go up to the Options bar for the Zoom tool, and click this button 1:1. As you can see in the title bar of this document window, that took the image to 100%. But I can't see the entire image here in the document window, and that's because the image itself is bigger than the window that I have here on my screen. So in this case, I'd like to see the entire image and to do that, I'm going to use another button in the Zoom Tool Options bar, Fit Screen, and that will set the zoom percentage to the largest number at which the entire image can be seen in the space that I have available here.
There is also a Fill Screen button, which zooms to a percentage at which the image fills the entire width and height of the available space. In this case it's more than 100%, and there is also a Print Size button, but that's one that I never use. It's really not very helpful. Now you don't have to bother going up to the Zoom Tool Options bar to either set the image to 100% view or to Fit Screen. Instead, you can use shortcuts for that purpose. So say I'm working with another tool, maybe the Type tool here, and I decide that I want to look at the image at 100%.
I'm just going to go to the Zoom tool in the toolbar, and I'm going to double-click the Zoom tool, and that is the same as clicking on the 1:1 button up here in the Zoom Tool Options bar. If I want to view the image to fit the screen, I'll go to the Hand tool, and I'll double-click that tool. That's the same as clicking the Fit Screen option in either at the Zoom Tool Options bar or the Hand Tool Options bar. I am going to go back to 100% view by double-clicking the Zoom tool. Now, I can't see the entire image in the document window, because it's just too big to fit there.
So in order to see a different part of this image, I'm going to use the Hand tool, which I'll select here in the toolbar. Then I'm going to come in, and I'm going to Click+Hold and Drag to reveal a different part of this zoomed-in image in the document window and this is called Panning. Often I'll be using a different tool, say the Spot Healing Brush tool, and I need to pan to another part of my image to use the tool there. Well, there is a shortcut for accessing the Hand tool, so that I don't have to bother selecting the Hand tool manually in the toolbar.
Instead, as I'm working in the image with any tool, I can press down on the Spacebar on my keyboard, and then with the Spacebar down, I can click-and-drag to pan in the image. I'm going to release my Spacebar and show you another way to pan in an image, and that is to open the Navigator panel from the Window menu at the top of the screen. I am going to bring the Navigator panel out by clicking on its tab to make it a free-floating panel. I'll go to the bottom-right corner of the Navigator panel and I'll drag down to make the panel bigger.
Notice the red bounding box in the Navigator. That indicates the part of the image that's currently showing in the document window. To move to another part of the image, I can click inside of that red bounding box and move to another part of the image, and then that part of the image is viewable in the document window over here. There is also a Zoom slider inside the Navigator. So I can click-and-drag that Zoom slider, and it will zoom me in on just the part of the image that you see inside the red bounding box. I'm going to close this panel by going to the panel menu and choosing Close Tab Group.
So when you want to get closer to part of an image or when you want to back off, so that you can see more of an image, try using some of the zooming and panning techniques that I've shown you here.

The following application of common assignee contains some common disclosure with that of the present application:
Title: Improved Thermal Conductive Material
Ser. No.: 07/251,1783
Filed: Oct. 3, 1988
This invention relates to thermally conductive adhesives and, more particularly, it relates to an adhesive matrix filled with a three-dimensional arrangement of mesophase pitch based carbon fibers.
Thermal management in electronic packaging has always been an important design consideration, and it is even more so today because packaging density (and hence heat dissipation) is increasing dramatically. More powerful and closer spaced chips, finer grid patterns, and surface mount devices such as leadless ceramic chip carriers need materials exhibiting high thermal conductivities and/or tailorable coefficients of thermal) expansions (CTE), so that heat removal is efficient and/or CTE mismatches between components are reduced. Facilitating heat removal and reducing CTE mismatches are very desirable attributes for they lead to more flexible packaging design, improved operating performance, and increased life expectancy (through reduced failures).
Thermally conductive, tailorable CTE organic-based adhesives (in paste or film form) play an important role in thermal management in electronic packaging. They are used for a variety of applications, including:
die (chip) bonding to chip carriers, substrates or heat sinks
chip carrier and substrate attachment to printed wiring boards (PWB)
PWB bonding to heat sinks
heat sink attachment to chassis
lid sealing
resistor, capacitor, diode, etc. attachment (i.e. using fillet adhesives)
Typically these adhesives are filled with metallic fillers such as silver or inorganic fillers such as alumina or boron nitride. Alumina fillers, which are electrically insulating, increase the thermal conductivity of the base polymer approximately 3-5�, based on the filler loading, geometry and size. Silver flakes are used when maximum thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity are required, as it too increases the thermal conductivity of the base polymer approximately 3-5�, depending on the loading. All of these fillers have several drawbacks, however. High weight percentages of silver are required (e.g. 79 wt. % is used in some adhesives to achieve the desired performance levels), and since silver is expensive, the cost of these fillers becomes substantial. Similar to silver, high weight percentages of inorganic fillers are also required and are relatively expensive as well. Silver also suffers from a phenomena referred to as metallic electromigration; an article by S. Krumbein (IEEE Transactions on Components, Hybrids, and Manufacturing Technology, Vol. 11, No. 1, Mar. 1988) describes metal migration in more detail.
It is known to use adhesives filled with carbon fibers for the purpose of making electrical connections in electrical systems bound together by the adhesive.
An adhesive material has been developed to complement the move toward thermal management in electronic packaging which exhibits a cost effective combination of needed properties including high thermal conductivities, uniform in-plane CTE's, low density and high stiffness. This material comprises an adhesive filled with from about 20 to about 60 weight percent of three-dimensional structure of mesophase pitch based carbon fibers. The carbon fibers are of variable length and variable width. Preferably the fibers have a length to width ratio greater than 10 and the fibers have a distribution of width of from about 1 to about 10 micrometers. These fibers are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,861,653 which is incorporated herein by reference.
Suitable adhesive resins are synthetic adhesives such as thermosetting, thermoplastic, elastomeric or combinations of these types.
According to the "Adhesives Technology Handbook" (Noyes Publications, 1985), there are four basic types of adhesives: liquids, pastes, tapes and films, and powders or granules. The two most common type of adhesives for structural and electronic applications are pastes and films. To make a three dimensional structure of mesophase pitch based carbon fiber filled paste, the fibers are added as uniformly as possible to the paste and the components are mixed to get a homogeneous blend. The rheology of the filled paste would be closely controlled by varying the chemistry of the paste and the amount of fiber that is added. (Pastes typically have high viscosities).
To make a three dimensional structure of mesophase pitch based carbon fiber filled adhesive film, at least two routes are available. First, if the adhesive resin was in liquid form, the fibers would be added as uniformly as possible and the components would be mixed to give a homogeneous blend. This methodology would help ensure fiber encapsulation and promote film uniformity and homogeneity. As for the pastes, the rheology would be closely controlled by varying the chemistry of the resin and the amount of fiber that is added. To form the adhesive film, the homogeneous blend would be cast using film-casting equipment.
An alternate route would be if the resin is in powder or granule form, such as a thermoplastic resin might be. A three dimensional structure of mesophase pitch based carbon fiber would be added as uniformly as possible and dry blended to give a homogeneous mixture. The homogeneous blend would be cast to form an adhesive film using an extruder and film casting equipment, or what is commonly done is to extrude pellets of the blend and then use the pellets to extrude adhesive film.
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross sectioned elevation view of a general electronic packaging arrangement in which the thermally conductive adhesives of this invention are useful.
FIG. 2 is a photomicrograph of an adhesive layer of this invention.
FIG. 2a is a vector diagram representative of three dimensional fiber placement in the adhesive layer of FIG. 2.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the structure 10 shown is referred to broadly as an electronic packaging system that includes as component parts a base 12 carrying a plurality of pins 13 and having a cavity 14 covered by a lid 16. Within cavity 14 is a die or a chip 18 that is adhered to a heat sink 20 by means of thermal adhesive layer 22. A similar thermal adhesive layer 22 seals lid 16 to the base 12 and the base 12 to a printed wiring board 24.
In FIG. 2 the adhesive layer of Example 3 (28 volume percent fibers) is displayed photomicrographically (200�). A structure showing a resin filled with a three-dimensional fiber structure with fibers of varying lengths and widths is observed. More particularly, fibers 30 are oriented in-plane in the x direction, fibers 32 are oriented in-plane in the y direction; and fibers 34 are oriented out-of-plane or through-the-thickness in the z direction.
These broad utility, general purpose adhesives are particularly attractive to the electronic packaging community, where thermal management is always an issue while weight and stiffness can be (such as in avionic systems). They do not suffer from metal migration and they require less weight of filler than incumbent technologies (e.g. silver flakes or alumina fillers) to achieve a desired level of performance. These adhesives can also be used for structural applications (e.g. bonding a composite part to another composite part or bonding a composite part to a piece of metal such as an end fitting), where CTE mismatches must be minimized. In these applications, the filaments' propensity to form ˜3-D reinforced composites may also be advantageous in increasing the interlaminar shear strength of bonded composites through through-the-thickness (out-of-plane) reinforcement.
Thermal conductivity (TC) is measured in accordance with the following methods and is designated as (BTU)(in)/(hr)(ft2)(�F.):
This is a transient technique in which the thermal diffusivity of a composite is determined by subjecting one face of the sample to a brief pulse of energy (less than 1 millisecond duration) from an infrared laser and monitoring the temperature rise on the opposite face with an infrared detector. Knowing the time/temperature profile of the back face of the sample and the distance between the two faces, the thermal diffusivity of the composite is calculated. Knowing this value and the density and specific heat of the composite, the thermal conductivity of the sample is calculated by taking the product of these three values.
The film is placed on an aluminum surface which is held at a temperature of about 40� C. An aluminum cylinder, of known properties and equipped with a thermocouple, is held at room temperature (˜25� C.) before being placed on top of the film sample. The temperature rise of the aluminum cylinder is monitored and subsequently analyzed to obtain the thermal resistance of the film and the film/aluminum interfaces. At least four layers of film are added sequentially to establish a relationship between thermal resistance and film thickness, from which the film thermal conductivity can be determined because compensation can then be made for the film/aluminum interface resistances. Pressure is applied to the "stacks" to minimize interface thermal resistances.
The sample is placed between two copper-surfaced plates controlled at different temperatures Surrounding the sample is a guard heater maintained at or near the mean sample temperature to minimize lateral heat transfer. The heat flux between the two plates is measured with a heat flux transducer attached to one of the plates. The overall temperature difference between the two plates surfaces is measured with built-in thermocouples. To reduce thermal resistance of the film/plate interfaces, a thin layer of a commercially available heat sink compound (such as Dow Corning 340) is usually applied to the sample and the test is run under external pressure. Knowing the sample thickness, the plate surface temperatures, the measured heat flux and the contact thermal resistance, the thermal conductivity of the sample can be determined.
The Dynatech C-Matic tester is not particularly suited for very thin materials (i.e. with thicknesses less than 0.040"). Therefore, a guarded heat flow method and apparatus to measure through-the-thickness thermal conductivities of thin films has been developed.
The device consists of two copper rods, approximately 1" in diameter and 2" in length. Embedded along the length of each rod are two thermocouples, spaced 1" apart. The rods are wrapped in fiberglass insulation to prevent lateral heat loss. The film sample, coated with "Nujol" mineral oil, is placed between an end of each of the copper rods (which also have a coat of oil) to form a rod/film/rod stack. (The oil is present to ensure good heat transfer between the rods and the film). The stack is positioned between two heated press platens (top platen always hotter than the bottom platen), put under a compressive load to minimize interfacial thermal resistances, and wrapped with another layer of insulation. The stack is allowed to reach equilibrium and the resultant temperature profiles across the copper rods are recorded. The experiment is repeated with different platen set-point temperatures and stack pressures. By monitoring the resultant equilibrium temperature profiles across the copper rods and comparing them to a "standard" material under similar conditions, the thermal conductivity of the film can be calculated.
87.5 grams of Ciba-Geigy hardener HT9679 and 12.5 grams of Ciba-Geigy hardener HT939 were added to a mixture of 60 grams of Dow Chemical "Quatrex" 1010 resin, 160 grams of Dow Chemical "Quatrex" 2010 and 180 grams of Union Carbide ERL-4206 resin. The resulting mixture was stirred until uniform. 40 grams of a three dimensional structure of mesophase pitch based carbon fiber were added to 60 grams of the resulting mixture to form a 40 weight % fiber reinforced epoxy resin. This filled mixture was passed through a 3 roll mill five times and cast onto a 5 mil thick silicone coated polyester film using a spatula. After curing at 160� C. for 1 hour, the filled adhesive film was removed from the polyester film and was polished using 500 and 1200 grit paper.
The polished film was tested for through-the-thickness thermal conductivity using the Guarded Heat Flow: Thin Material method. The thermal conductivity of this adhesive, listed in Table 1, is at least equivalent to those of 79 weight % silver flake filled Ditac� QL� Ribbon adhesives commercially available from Du Pont, yet the weight percent fibers was only 40%.
27.5 parts of Union Carbide "UCAR" PKHJ phenoxy resin and 1.7 parts of Union Carbide "UCAR" BRL-2741 resole resin were dissolved in 53.2 parts of methyl ethyl ketone and 17.6 parts of toluene. 22.7 grams of this solution were mixed with 5 grams of a three dimensional structure of mesophase pitch based carbon fiber to yield a uniform dispersion. The filled adhesive resin solution was cast on 2 mil Mylar� film using a 20 mil doctor knife and was dried in an oven at 120� C. for 5 minutes. The Mylar� film was removed and a 4 mil thick, 45 weight % fiber reinforced adhesive film remained. Two 4 mil thick films were laminated together at 150� C. and 200 psi for 15 minutes to form a 6-8 mil thick adhesive film. An unfilled phenoxy/phenol-formaldehyde sample and a 56 weight % fiber reinforced film were prepared in a similar manner.
The three samples were tested for through-the-thickness thermal conductivity using the Guarded Heat Flow: Thin Material method. Test results are given in Table 1 and indicate that the thermal conductivity of the filled adhesives are up to 2� those of 79 weight % silver flake filled Ditac� QL� Ribbon adhesives, yet at fiber loadings only 56% by weight or less.

A three dimensional structure of mesophase pitch based carbon fiber filled films containing 15, 29 and 39 weight % fibers (10, 20 and 28 volume percent fibers, respectively) were prepared as follows. Three separate dry blends of fibers and K copolyimide powder (representing the three fiber loadings) were prepared by placing the required weights of fiber and powder in polyethylene bags, tying the bags off, and then shaking and mixing the blends to make as uniform a mixture as possible. K copolyimide powder is based on pyromellitic dianhydride and a 70/30 (by weight) mixture of 1,3-bis(3-aminophenoxy)benzene and 2-phenyl-1, 4-bis(4-aminophenoxy))benzene. Approximately 600 grams of each blend were prepared.
Approximately 150-200 grams of a blend were spread out between two cover sheets of Kapton� polyimide film on a belt and the "sandwich" was run through a continuous belt press with heated platens (345� C.). The cover sheets were removed and a fiber filled film remained. When one blend was completed and several pieces of film made, the procedure was repeated for the remaining two blends.
After this initial pass through the press (at a belt speed of 5 feet/minute), the pieces of film were run through the press two more times (with Kapton� cover sheets which were then removed) but at a speed of 1 foot/minute to further reduce film thickness. The resulting films were approximately 3-4 feet long, 6-8 inches wide, 10-19 mils thick.
Unreinforced films were made similarly. The resulting films were approximately 45 feet long, 10 inches wide, 8-14 mils thick.
Pieces of the films were tested for in-plane tensile properties and coefficients of thermal expansions, as well as through-the-thickness thermal conductivities. Because thermal conductivity measurements are made using a variety of techniques and methods, the thermal conductivities were measured via four different methods described herein for comparisons and data validations.
Table 2 gives the results which indicate that the film properties are a function of fiber loading; as fiber loadings increase, both out-of-plane thermal conductivities and tensile moduli increase while in-plane CTE's decrease. The highest loaded film has a uniform CTE (10 ppm/�C.) near that of alumina (6-8 ppm/�C.), a typical "target CTE" electronic packaging material. Compared to Ditac� QL� Ribbon adhesive data, the thermal conductivity and modulus of the highest loaded film are at least equivalent and the CTE is 4� lower than these silver filled adhesives, yet the fiber loading was only 39% by weight.
Two identical 2"�2" squares were cut from a circuit board constructed of six layers of Du Pont Pyralux� flexible composites bonded together with Pyralux� LG1002 glass reinforced modified acrylic adhesive. Each layer of flexible composite was constructed with a LF9111 copper-clad laminate coverlayed on both sides with LF0210 coverlay.
Two identical 2"�2" squares were cut from a pitch fiber reinforced metal matrix composite heat sink constructed of 16 layers of 6063 aluminum reinforced with E-120 continuous pitch fibers. The fiber orientation was [0/90]4S and the fiber volume fraction was 35%. One surface of each metal matrix square was scraped with a razor blade and cleaned with solvent to remove all surface contaminants.
One circuit board square was bonded to a heat sink square using Hysol Aerospace & Industrial Products Division Epoxi-patch clear 0151 two part epoxy adhesive by brushing a well stirred mix on the clean metal surface, placing the circuit board on the adhesive, and curing the laminated sample under minimum (<25 psi) pressure. The other squares were bonded to each other with the same base adhesive but the adhesive had been filled with 25 weight percent of a three-dimensional structure of mesophase pitch based carbon fiber blended in as the two part epoxy was mixed.
Both samples were tested for through-the-thickness system thermal conductivities using the Guarded Heat Flow: Dynatech C-Matic Thermal Conductance Tester method. The system thermal conductivity of the sample having the filled adhesive was 3.398 (BTU)(in)/(hr)(ft2)(�F.) vs. 2.705 (BTU)(in)/(hr)(ft2)(�F.) for the sample having the unfilled adhesive, a 26% improvement.

pins and needles, numbness in lips, face and arm

pins and needles, numbness in lips, face and arm

Dr. Chip
replied 4 years ago.
How long has this been going on and is it constant? Your other medical conditions and medications and what studies has your doctor ordered to get at a cause?
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 4 years ago.
Thanks Dr Chip,
This has happened twice in the last week, both times while playing golf. Both times I was 3/4 of the way through my round when I nstarted to exp numbness in my lips on left side of mouth, then gradually and sporadically, symptoms of pins and needles/numbness spread across left hand side of face, neck and down left arm. No pain or discomfort, just weird. Both times was able to continue golf and finish my round but symptoms persisted after finishing for several hours. Yesterday symptoms[sporadically and less severe] persisted from midday until I went to bed at 10 pm.
My GP has made arrangements [after my first episode] for me to have a brain CT scan, thinking that it may have been a TIA. He also conducted an ECG and bp test which were both normal and has referred me to a specialist appt in a weks time.
My uncle died of MND at 62 yrs of age but the symptoms don't seem consistent with that thankfully.
My father passed away recently at 88 yrs and in his final few yrs suffered from Myasthenia Gravis but he died from strokes.
Hope you can help with possible diagnosis.
Dr. Chip
replied 4 years ago.
And there was no weakness to the facial muscles or the arm muscles?
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 4 years ago.
I didn't notice any. The facial thing didn't seem to be in my tongue and didn't affect speeech. It felt just like a dental anaesthetic wearing off.
My arm just felt weird not any noticeable weakness. When I say weird, from time to time, I exp something like a hot tingling sensation in different parts of the arm. Sometimes high in the arm, sometimes around the elbow, sometimes down into the hand and fingers of left hand. But I had no trouble gripping a golf club, so it didn't seem to affect the strength of my grip.
Dr. Chip
replied 4 years ago.
Did your doctor check you for B12 deficiency, autoimmune disorders, thyroid deficiency and heavy metal toxicity?
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 4 years ago.
I recently had a blood test done to monitor cholesterol levels and PSA ,and received results last Thurs. The results all came back normal except for thyroid. The printout he gave me showed that there was "mildly elevated TSH" and suggested another test in 6 weeks.I can't make out any specific info re B12, or autoimmune disorders it just says all haemotology parameters are within normal limits. I have been a white collar worker all my life with no real exposure to heavy metals that I am aware of
Dr. Chip
replied 4 years ago.
Any problem with headaches, and when this happened were there any vision changes?
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 4 years ago.
No headaches and no vision changes. The only overall physiological affect was that after having the symptoms for several hours I started to feel a little feeble. Not sure feeble is the right word but just a bit off overall but that may just have been a pschosomotic reaction to not knowing what was wrong with my body. I am a tall, strong and reasonably fit person for my age, who usually enjoys robust health.
I should have given the exact TSH resuly in my last reply....it was 6.0
Dr. Chip
replied 4 years ago.
Are you certain about that TSH? If that's correct it would indicate that you are hypothyroid and probably should be on thyroid replacement
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 4 years ago.
The report definitely says 6, with normal levels between 0.4 - 4.0 and it then says as follows.
"Mildly elevated TSH.. Suggest thyroid tissue antibodies or a repeat test in 6 weeks if recovery after a transient thyroiditis is suspected.Alternatively, this pattern also could be recovery after an intercurrent illness which depleted Thyroxine reserves".
I haven't had any illness that should equate to the 2nd part of that description.
Dr. Chip
replied 4 years ago.
Well, hypothyroid disorder can cause a peripheral neuropathy like syndrome but not likely on just one side. TIA is still a possibility here and I would do carotid studies and have you have a cardiac workup. That said, I think this is probably what's called a variant migraine syndrome--the aura, if you will, of a migraine without the headache. I would have you see a neurologist about this possibility.

The reader finally realizes that Vera also made up the story of the husband's death in order to scare Nuttel when the husband returns. We also discover how deceptive and cunning Vera can be, which is the whole point of the story.

I was made aware of the fact by a "different garage door company" that GDS had bought the door from that morning! I contacted this "other company" because GDS did not install the finishing seal on the outside of the door which pretty much makes the double steel insulated door ineffective at keeping out the Minnesota cold. When ordering, the salesman asked me if I wanted the trim in almond to match the door. He didn't itemize the trim on the contract/agreement so the installer didn't have the materials to finish the job.
GDS informed me over the phone that it would be an additional $150 to install the trim when I had already paid them $1,309. for a 6x8' door and opener. So I called a "different garage door company" who just happened to have supplied GDS with the door just installed and they said GDS is bad! bad! bad! and just about the worst choice I could have made.
The "other garage door company" installed the trim for $35 in less than 5 minutes.
To make the service even worse, GDS had promised (written on the agreement) that the door would be installed within 2 weeks. NOT! It was 4 weeks before they installed it.

This is a crook and a thief, I was hired and couldn't believe what I heard from him and his wife. This guy was so dis-honest I quit the next day after working there one day. Laughed about how much he had in customer cars and joked they weren't done paying him yet. Tried to screw people out a lot of money for used parts. Was just a total jerk and control freak. Total thief and I couldn't work there, and I have been in the car business 10+ years. Can't believe this guy isn't closed down or faced leagal action. Plus never paid me for my day o fwork. There is a special place in HELL for guys like this. Gives car guy's a bad rap. Jerk off #1 running this place.

- The Doctor Is In: 5 Tips To A Healthy Family Vacation
I went in for my annual pap smear with my OB. It's usually each April, but for whatever reason, I couldn't make it to the original appointment. Rescheduling the appointment was not my first priority, so I actually didn't get into see my OB until right before Christmas 2009. I think it was December 18. He did a routine breast exam and I saw his facial expression change. I had a mammogram a couple of days later. I had a biopsy right after the new year and I was diagnosed on January 13, 2010.
I was at work. I had to keep my composure since I work with the public. I just wanted answers on how to fight. Finding out that I'd have to harvest eggs and go through in vitro fertilization five years down the road if I wanted to have children, was more devastating.
The plans were to see if I had any spread to my lymph nodes first, so I went into surgery to have 18 lymph nodes removed. I found out I was 2 weeks pregnant via pre-op lab work. This would be my first and only pregnancy. My entire treatment course was modified from that point forward, but I chose to keep the pregnancy. I was warned of a host of risks that the fetus had been exposed to because of all the tests involving radiation–MRIs, X-rays, nuclear body scans, and radioactive injections. I had four rounds of chemo and three surgeries while pregnant.
I no longer cared about the side effects of chemo. I was just prayerful that the chemo and tests that I'd endured wouldn't affect my unborn baby like I'd been warned.
To go to the American Cancer Society's web page . You can't trust what's being published on the Internet. Surround yourself with other survivors, even if they are strangers. Nothing breeds familiarity like a (potentially) terminal illness. Talk about your fears because they tend to shrink that way. Stay faithful. The difference between a dying cancer patient and a cancer survivor is the sheer will and faith to live beyond the disease. Fearing that you could die from this is pointless and a waste of whatever time any of us have left. None of us can escape death. You might as well live well while you're here and able to wake up to another day.
January 2014 will be four years.
I learned countless lessons. I learned to love harder, to appreciate the beauty of this life–sunrises and sunsets, the colors of nature and the the sky–to forgive quicker, to serve in order to be blessed, that no matter what I'm engaged in, to make it count, and how to relax, for stress can steal years away without you knowing.
Get healthy, stay healthy, and get checked. Cancer knows no age and no race. Listen to your body. No matter the storm, walk in faith. My baby, Faith, will be 3 on September 20. She's completely healthy and she loves trucks, dinosaurs, and chocolate.
I was born in Tamuning, Guam, and moved to Texas at age 3. Now 40, I am a single mother to Faith. I am the first to graduate with a 4-year degree in my entire family with a BA in Marketing from UTA in 1996. I've been in nonprofit management for 17 years. I'm currently the Director of Volunteer Services for Texas Health Dallas.
Cancer has been a blessing to my life in so many ways. It helped me to filter and narrow down what REALLY matters in life. I pay a lot closer attention, I quench moments and experiences, I forgive quicker and I love harder than I ever have before. I've also become a mentor of sorts. I support newly diagnosed women going through the stages of diagnosis, treatment, surgeries, and post-treatment. To date, I've supported nine women. I'm also a spokesperson for the American Cancer Society. I love the work they do to educate, support and empower the entire family of those diagnosed with ALL cancers.

I feel my prenatal vitamin regimen is unnecessarily grueling, but there's a rationale behind each pill my OB recommended:
1. Prenatal multi
OK, fine - I take prenatals even when I'm not pregnant (regular vitamins are too hard on my stomach), so nothing new, but then....
2. 4,000iu vitamin D
My OB has a laundry list of reasons he wants me on vitamin D supplements.
3. 2 prenatal DHA (nordic naturals brand)
4. Feosol iron pill, taken with fiber gummies
I was on "gentle" iron pills, and test anemic on those; I just am not absorbing those well. So my OB put me on Feosol brand. I have *terrible* constipation issues, but they've knocked out the constipation. I also cook with a cast iron pan 1-2x per week, and make sure we eat red meat 1x per week.
5. extra choline pill
Saw great studies about brain-boosting infants with prenatal choline, so I brought this one on myself.
6. Calcium pill with magnesium; calcium gummies
If I don't take the pill, I get horrible, terrible leg cramps at night.
Because I'm on iron AND calcium, I have to take 1 in morning, the other at night - calcium blocks iron absorption. Every now and then I forget to take one in the morning - I then get the choice of EITHER calcium/magnesium OR iron, which stinks, because those leg craps are killers.
What're you on?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
So, at the initial appointment, I brought some requested photo prints and met with Patrik's husband, Paul. He was exceptionally sweet and answered a lot of my questions (later it was revealed that he's not even really in this industry, he runs some sort of boutique), he took some video of my child and told me that he would send it to Patrik in NY, and get back to me if they thought my child would have solid opportunities (since, he stated repeatedly, they were paid exclusively on commission and didn't want to waste their/my time).
A couple days later, Paul and I spoke on the phone, and he told me Patrik absolutely loved my son and already had a job in mind, so we should get moving ASAP. I came in the following day and signed contracts (which are fairly straightforward, though I was annoyed at being forced to drive to sign 4 sheets of paper with the abundance of PDF's, faxes, etc these days). Paul also charged my card $280 for the photography shoot ($30 of this was tax). He expressly told me that this fee paid for everything - the photographer, retouching, prints, all inclusive. I'm even looking at the form we signed as I type and it specifically states:
"Professional Industry Digital Photography
Professional Makeup Artist(s)
Professional Hair Stylist(s)
Posing and locations coordinated
Appropriate Portfolio Photography
Photographic Styles - Headshots, Full Body & 3/4 Color Images
Equipment & Processing
Three Separate Looks
Studio & Location Lighting
Proofs via Email from Entire Shoot
3 8x12 Photos
($100 Value of Prints & Retouching Included)"
The bold font is mine, and I do it to make a point. When I came in to review the photos, Patrik slid a sheet of paper across the desk to me indicating that I needed to pay an additional $65 for retouching ("to get the full 5 looks for the ZED card") and THEN pay $280 for 100 ZED cards to be printed. So, in the course of just a few conversations, we've gone from no fees, to $250 plus tax, to $595.00 plus tax!
This doesn't include the parking/gas we've paid so far or the clothing for the specific "looks" we'd purchased. For a young family such as ours, particularly with the economy in its' current state, this is a LOT of money! When I told Patrik that I wanted to discuss with my husband first, he responded that he would just "sit on the photos and wait to retouch them" until he heard from me. What about my 8x12's promised in your contract???
So I jumped on the internet and started doing research...
My first find was that, despite the placard stating a BBB rating on the receptionist's desk, he is NOT accredited by the BBB. I even went so far as to go to the NATIONAL search query. It pulled up ONLY the business in AZ, which has 3 complaints recorded, 2 of which were never responded to.
My second find was that he is running a licensed business in the state of CA. This is his registered business name: P&P BOYZ, LLC DBA NETWORK INTERNATIONAL MODELS & TALENT
HOWEVER, he is not compliant with their regulations (according to the CA Labor Code, he should at minimum have his business license posted along with his fee schedule in a conspicuous place).
He obviously isn't doing that, or someone like me would have turned right around and left without another question.
The thoughts that keep swirling in my mind, particularly, is that there were a good dozen people present each weekend waiting to have photos taken...
12 people x $250 each = $3,000 per weekend, so as a rough low-ball estimate he's bringing in $12k/mo, right? So much for no fees! And I'm really supposed to believe that he's content to take between 10-20% commission on an artist's work? Paul (Patrik's husband) showed me pay stubs for 2 children that had just done work- supposedly for 10-30k for either job. That means Patrik's cut is from 1-3k per job. Awesome, for those of us who work for a living, but if you're already bringing in quadruple that on people's dreams... is it worth the extra effort?
I hate to be negative, but between the fees that keep cropping up, the research I've done and this man's reputation, I'm pulling the plug now. Please wish me luck in getting my son the recognition he deserves!

Since I already paid for the photos, I demanded print-quality sized computer files of them. It took several weeks and harassment on my part before I was able to obtain them. At one point, Patrik and I were literally screaming at each other on the phone. Apparently, since the "photo company" was called 'Beverly Hills Photo Studio' (look it up if you can - no such agency exists, and as already noted I'm pretty confident on the computer), he didn't feel obligated to "fulfill their contract". I told him that having contracted their services and collecting payment entirely on their behalf, he was very much obligated to provide them. On that note - he took a second look at that contract and sent me the prints he was legally obligated to provide as well. He picked and chose 3 without my input, no retouching, and in a nasty envelope that got bent and scraped on the way to me. Guess he was afraid of being sued.
Finally, he sent me a list of my top 10 photos (picked from the thumbnail sheet). He intends to hold your photos hostage, folks. I even offered to find a better priced printer than $280 for 100 ZED cards for him (which he gracelessly rejected) before a friend pointed out that most people use email these days, not printed cards, and most job submissions are entirely via internet - more on that later.
Fortunately for me, the photographer that did take photos of my son was a wonderful lady who fell instantly in love with him, and we managed to connect on Facebook. After providing the contract to her to cover her butt as well, she took pity and shared her Picasa album so I got all the photos she had for me, even the duds. BTW - that photographer was only recently contracted (as in, the first day we came in for photos was her very first photo shoot for him) with Patrik when I met her, and her company was "One Sweet Light" photography, NOT 'Beverly Hills Photo Studio'.
Patrik never sent my son's photos in for a single submission, and refused to terminate my SAG contract with him. He'd already made it abundantly clear that he had no intention of working with me, even told me to talk to his associate "Miss M" if I ever called again. This made me very angry. You won't like me when I'm angry.
I demanded to know which methods he used for submitting work. I've lost my notes since then, but he had 3 semi-under-the-radar websites he used exclusively. Another friend (who has had more success than us in this industry) remarked to me that the big ones are Agent Access, Actor's Access, and a third I can't remember... and they are so completely bombarded, they rarely check the lesser sites. Via rumor, I found out that he's blacklisted from the bigger sites, but obviously I can't confirm that. All I can confirm is that the sites he DOES use are NOT the main ones in the area.
So, I contacted SAG. I sent them everything I had. Contracts, emails, you name it. Patrik's franchise with the Screen Actor's Guild was terminated because he is a slimy mo-fo and he screwed with too many of the wrong people... namely, me.
I also emailed the BBB about that misleading placard, but they never did get back to me. And I've been all over the internet exposing him for what he is. There's a little more to this story, but I can't put it out there without jeopardizing anonymity of other people connected to him that I've met on this little adventure.
Best of luck to you, reader, on your search into this industry. Don't rely on this guy.

I read feeds all the time and they look clean, polished, with images and such.
My feed looks like a long paragraph without spaces, images, or anything else that is actually in the Event page. Is this normal?
I would like at least a some spaces and an image or two. How can I do this?
Thank you.
