Albert Einstein is reported to have said that if he only had one hour to solve a problem, he would spend 55 minutes defining the problem and the remaining five minutes solving it. That's why the findings of a recent HealthLeaders Media Intelligence survey justify deeper examination. In the survey, HealthLeaders asked respondents to rank their top challenges impacting financial performance and to identify specific areas of concern within each of those issues. Their top three issues were:
The May survey polled 125 senior, clinical, operations, financial, marketing, and information leaders across the industry from both nonprofit and for-profit settings. The majority of respondents (71%) are from hospitals and health systems, and within that respondent group, 72% work for a nonprofit organization.
On the surface, it's tempting to think these findings aren't surprising. The issues cited by respondents reflect pain points hospital executives have faced for years. Yet emerging external factors, including the cumulative effects of the HITECH Act (meaningful use), the Affordable Care Act, and an aging U.S. population, are creating new frameworks in which to view and solve these traditional problems.
Following are some key survey findings, exploration of the new frameworks, and an open, constructive discussion about strategic choices going forward.
The plurality of respondents (42%) cited implementing new clinical or financial systems while maintaining current IT systems as having the biggest impact on financial performance in the next two years. Another 36% indicatedthat interoperability within the system or clinically integrated network was a top concern.
And why not? Adopting technology that slows doctors down and impacts day-to-day operations has been one of the healthcare industry's biggest problems for years. So has achieving system interoperability for a wide range of complex technology applications that do not talk to each other.
New framework. When it comes to system capabilities and interoperability, federal program incentives—as well as penalties—are increasing. Simultaneously, in bracing for the unknowns of healthcare reform, everybody is merging together. Hospitals are building ambulatory clinics, and private physician practices are shifting toward hospital employment models. The result is a much more complex environment in which to implement systems across an enterprise.
Chris Taylor, president of Parallon, which sponsored the survey, says the survey findings illustrate the critical juncture providers find themselves in. "System interoperability is one of the biggest hurdles in improving the effectiveness of patient care and financial performance," he says. "We've seen a lot of movement to create large hospital and physician networks, but they're not really an integrated care system from an IT perspective."
A variety of implementation decisions can hold back an optimized EHR. Some hospitals customize the system to meet existing workflows. Others choose to only adopt the clinical modules vs. the entire module suite. In other cases, the legacy financial system is kept intact. Another common hospital IT strategy misfire is underestimating the effort and cost required to gain data flow from ambulatory systems.
"Getting the system live is often seen as the success point of implementation, but what is often left unmeasured is whether the new clinical technology is making the physicians and the nurses more productive and effective," Taylor says. "When the implementation plan underestimates the impact on physicians, it can damage the EHR adoption rate within the hospital."
To avoid these pitfalls, Taylor recommends taking an enterprise view in crafting an IT strategy road map. Separating which systems are imperative to standardize vs. what things should, or can, remain local, will create the right balance and a natural priority list of investment and focus. Top of the list for systemwide integration is the EHR, so that "everyone is speaking the same language" from a patient care perspective. Second is the supply chain. "A standardized purchasing order system along with a centralized warehouse and distribution model can ultimately drive down inventory SKUs and costs," he says.
"Also, standardizing patient registration and centralizing revenue cycle functions is recommended. Standardization and centralization of registration and revenue cycle functions streamlines processes, improves revenue clearance and reduces costs," says Taylor.
At the end of the day, what stays local is the patient care. "Health systems should take advantage of their size and scale from a system perspective, but every market is a little bit different, and the IT strategy should be determined by those unique patient, payer, and local market factors," he notes.
If the supply chain is the second largest expense category for healthcare organizations, the largest is typically the salaries and benefits of hospital staff. This is why managing human resources has been a mainstay concern for hospital leaders.
About a third (33%) of the respondents agree that the biggest impediment to a cost-effective, productive workforce is trouble recruiting and retaining the right talent. Almost the same number (31%) reported their biggest impediment was lack of the right technology to optimize staff productivity.
New framework. Demand for healthcare services is expected to swell, thanks to those with new insurance from the Affordable Care Act and aging baby boomers with increased medical needs. Yet the supply of healthcare providers is predicted to fall, with shortages of 90,000 qualified physicians and nurses forecast by 2020. Plus, the majority of current healthcare workers are baby boomers themselves. Nearly half of all registered nurses will reach traditional retirement age in five years.
Taylor advises hospital leaders to embrace technology adoption as a priority in anticipation of upcoming staffing challenges.
"A system to analyze the productivity of your workforce is the first step to planning and allocating labor resources appropriately," he says. "Performance analysis tools enable identifying the right staff matrices by department, by shift and by day."
Taylor describes how in one instance, performing a nine-month labor assessment on a mid-South 100-bed hospital enabled the organization to achieve more consistent staffing levels, which in turn drove value and savings. "This type of analysis set the stage for staff right-sizing to reduce costs and avoided layoffs," he explains. "Layoffs are a difficult course of action. It's so disruptive to day-to-day operations and the community in general. Plus, it's only a short-term fix."
Hospitals should approach staffing technology in context of patient flow. "There needs to be consideration of the patient moving through the delivery system from beginning to end," says Taylor. "For example, hospitals may want to consider how the physicians are interacting with staff and patients and factor in those touch points."
Benchmarking data and scheduling technology also are fundamental. "Information is power. Without the benchmark information, there is no threshold to right-size," cautions Taylor. "And the right scheduling technology tools not only reduce waste and cost, but can offer better flexibility in scheduling to enhance employee retention and subsequently enhance patient safety and satisfaction."
Last, accountability is a very human, but essential key element. "Leaders must be accountable for meeting their staffing targets and goals. Accountability goes hand in hand with the technology," he emphasizes. "Without a culture of accountability, the investment in tools and information has no value."
The hospital revenue cycle has traditionally represented fragmentation, whether in its processes; its labor-intensive, siloed departments; or its myriad of bolt-on technologies. For the past several years, provider budget priorities have focused on clinical systems, given the opportunities and imperatives of achieving meaningful use.
New framework. The two basic prongs of the ACA are expansion of health insurance and reform of the healthcare delivery system reimbursement model. The former is creating more insured patients, but also a rise in high-deductible health plans and a greater need to collect up-front patient payments. The latter is moving Medicare reimbursementstoward a value-based payment model, with many commercial payers following suit.
The survey findings illustrate the ways hospital executives are contemplating their revenue cycle in light of these drivers. Thirty-nine percent of the HealthLeaders survey respondents indicated that their most difficult revenue cycle challenge is reengineering their operations to fit payment models based on fee-for-value. Almost one-third (31%) believe that collecting more copays and deductibles from patients with high-deductible health plans is their biggest revenue cycle difficulty.
According to Taylor, most providers are feeling the pressure to optimize up-front collections and prepare for value-based payments, but it's still a very big question of priority in making those improvements.
"Every market is a little different, and some markets aren't being pushed to move in the fee-for-value direction at all right now," he says. The catch-22? If a hospital moves ahead of the market demand for value-based payments, then it creates unnecessary risk. Moving too slowly toward these capabilities, meanwhile, could put the hospital at risk for losing payer partnership opportunities.
"There's necessary and great opportunity to enhance the revenue cycle in most hospitals," Taylor explains, "but in a world of many competing high-priority projects—ICD-10, meaningful use, to name two—it's imperative to understand your market, your payer and patient mix, and adjust your focus and investments accordingly."
Generally speaking, all hospitals, regardless of whether they are in a market with more risk-based payments, are going to be challenged to make their cost structure more efficient to be successful in the future healthcare marketplace.
"My recommendation is to bring a third party in to strategize," advises Taylor. "Whether it's IT, recruitment, or reimbursement, transitioning the organization and its functions doesn't happen overnight, and it requires planning and expertise. Bringing on a strategic advisor to flesh out informed enterprise views, identify standardization opportunities, and to help prioritize projects may require some investment initially, but it will likely reduce cost overruns down the line."
In conclusion, as hospitals consider various ways to strengthen their financial performance, they should beware focusing on all the right problems while overlooking the current frameworks in which to solve them.
"You have to know the regulatory impacts, where you are in the marketplace, and what current best practices look like in order to know where your opportunities live in driving value for your organization," Taylor explains.
"Having been a hospital operator myself, I learned the value of having a partner with deep understanding, including the supply chain, workforce management, clinical applications and workflows, and revenue cycle," he says. "You especially want advisors who have done it before, with an organization like yours and from an operator's perspective."

My children and I stayed here this past weekend. Our room was 219, which overlooked the front desk and I was initially worried about the noise level but that concern was unfounded. The room was clean, quiet and easily accessible to the elevator. The bed was comfortable and soft. We slept very well. While there, we had time to swim and soak in the pool and hot tub. The noise level in there is super loud but since we were the only ones in there and they were my kids, I can't complain too much. I didn't use the gym, but the equipment and room looked nice. Breakfast service was great and the ladies who work there are very helpful. I will definitely stay here again!

(Warning: today's post is a bit of a rant…)
Why do people have such difficulty in knowing what to say to a pregnant woman? Is it just me, or do they honestly forget common courtesy when they realize you have a baby in the oven?
I was talking to a bunch of pregnant Mommas the other night at an Infant CPR class and we exchanged stories about all the horrible things people have said to us while we're pregnant. A common question hurled at many of us: "Are you having twins?"
Seriously?! Don't ever, ever ask a pregnant woman how many babies she's having – you will always be wrong. Some of us, and by that I mean me, carry our babies way out in front because we have very little space between our ribs and our hips. There's just no place for the baby to hide. It's going to look like we have an entire litter inside of us. We know. You don't need to remind us.
But the opposite end of the spectrum is no better. If a woman carries "small," then people ask her if the baby is okay. "Are you sure your baby's healthy?"
What are you doing? And why?! These women tend to have nice, long torsos with plenty of room for their little peanuts to tuck in and hang out. And they're entirely healthy, I might add.
By all means, don't ever make the mistake of asking someone if they're pregnant in the first place. This is a huge no-no. If you think there might be a bump, you need to pretend to be a secret agent in the special Black Ops and stealthily ask those within her inner circle what's up – but never, ever ask the woman directly.
This reminds me of an episode from the TV show, "Malcolm In The Middle" from years ago. The Dad gets a new job and is walking around meeting all his other office mates. He gets introduced to his big boss, a woman who's a little rounder in the middle, and the he does the unthinkable – he pats her belly and asks, "And what do we have here?" To which she responds in an equally sugary tone, "My big, fat belly!"
You don't ever want to be that guy.
Which makes me break for the tangential but equally annoying rant: Why would having a baby in utero mean that I want complete strangers to rub my belly? The group of ladies I was with the other night compared even more stories on this topic. Some involved the super cute and proud great grandma showing off the brand new baby bump to all the guests at a wedding! But there are some of us, and by that I mean me, who felt assaulted when drunk woman after drunk woman wanted to rub my belly at The Lilith Fair music concert many years ago. How would anyone else in any other life circumstance feel about random strangers coming up and placing their hands on their belly? Ick. Don't do that. I'm surrounded by pregnant bellies all the time, but I can honestly say I've only ever touched a woman's belly when she has asked me specifically to do so (wondering if she's having a real contraction, wanting confirmation of the position of her baby, etc.)
Really, when it comes down to it, it's not that difficult. When you notice that someone might be pregnant – don't say anything, just smile at them. They're pretty used to it. People notice their belly and smile – because they're a beacon of hope and light for the world! It comes with the territory, so a smile can be enough. If you must say something the comments, "You look great!" or "You're doing a great job!" are always welcome.
P.S. – these comments also work wonders for women who: have recently given birth, haven't had a shower in a couple of days, are really trying to get the hang of this breastfeeding thing, are super sad about going back to work, feel super guilty about not feeling super sad about going back to work, are still wearing their "big girl" pants in the early postpartum period, find themselves both loving and hating being at home with the baby… You get the idea.
Becoming a mother – all the way from the first signs of a positive pregnancy test until the child is grown and out of the house – is a time of self-doubt and questioning.
When you're in doubt, remember what Thumper says in the movie, Bambi – "If you can't say something nice – don't say nothin' at all."
Mommas around the world will thank you for your self-restraint.
Ever experience cringe-worthy comments while you were pregnant? How did it make you feel? How did you respond?

"And so, like most temptations I knew I should steer away from, he drew me in even closer. He took me for rides in his junkyard car, driving to midnight lookouts high above the city of Zihuatanejo, and brought me to bars to meet his friends and echar unas chelas. He told me just enough secrets to make me feel like he really cared. Most of the time we spent in bed, grasping each other's skin, desperately embracing and not wanting to let go of what, inevitably, we would have to leave behind. We made love continuously, as if this act would validate who we were to each other. But we both knew that what we had was fleeting.
On the last day, he begged me to stay. It was a plea so open, so honest, and so pitiful that I wanted to stay with him, even if it was partially because I felt sorry for him. He made promises of making me so happy that I would never again yearn to see the rest of the world, because it was the world that he would give me through his love and affection. I swore I even saw tears building in those big black eyes of his, and I did want to stay. But as wrapped up as I was in this whole lust-love thing, I knew that this would never be enough.
And so I found myself, once again dragging that purple suitcase behind me. I headed through the glass doors and into the airport with dozens of mosquito bites covering my legs and a rawness between them that I had never before known. I loved this man, but I was walking away, out of his life and back into what had become of mine. I was leaving him for a promise of something much bigger than I would ever experience with him and his trite concept of love. "

A Gothic novel by Mary Shelley, published in 1818. She had begun it in 1816 when she, her husband Shelley, and Byron wrote ghost stories to pass the time during a summer in Switzerland.
Frankenstein, a student of natural philosophy in Geneva, builds a creature in the semblance of a man and gives it life. Possessed of unnatural strength, the creature inspires horror in those who see it but is miserably eager to be loved. The unhappy Frankenstein deserts the creature but is pursued to Chamonix, where he agrees to make a mate. However, a wave of remorse makes him destroy the female he has been constructing, and the creature swears revenge on his creator. He kills Frankenstein's bride on their wedding night. Frankenstein's father dies of grief, and the scientist's mind gives way. Eventually he recovers and sets out to destroy his creation. After a chase across the world, the two at last confront each other in the Arctic wastes. Frankenstein dies and the creature, mourning the loss of the man who gave him life, disappears into the frozen wilderness, hoping for his own annihilation..

Benefits and Functions of Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin):
Vitamin B12
(Cobalamin) is required for the body to absorb, store and activate
folate to its coenzyme forms. It works in conjunction with folate
to facilitate replication of cells and to produce red blood cells.
Vitamin B12 is necessary for the production of all blood cells,
including platelets and red blood cells, and white blood cells.
Vitamin B12 functions as a component in a number
of cellular processes that create energy from the metabolization
of carbohydrates, fat, and protein.
It promotes healthy growth and development,
the production of critical substances necessary for proper cell
function, and for metabolizing nutrients required for normal cell
growth. Cobalamin also acts to aid in the production of genetic
material, DNA and RNA.
Cobalamin plays an integral role in the processes
related to numerous body chemicals and helps the body to utilize
amino acids and fatty acids.
Vitamins B12, in conjunction with vitamins
B6 and B9 (folic acid), functions to regulate the levels of the
amino acid homocysteine in the blood. High blood homocysteine levels
are thought increase the risk ofr vascular disease and certain birth
It plays a vital role in maintaining the health
of the central nervous system, in supporting healthy nerve function,
in keeping nerve cells healthy, and in protecting against certain
types of nerve damage. Nerves are encased in a fatty sheath composed
of a protein called myelin which shields nerve fibers from each
other. Those who suffer from a vitamin B12 deficiency display irregular
damage to myelin sheaths, which could ultimately result in paralysis,
nerve and neurological damage, and even death.
Signs of Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) Deficiency:
Because vitamin B12 only comes
from animal sources, strict vegetarians or vegans who don't consume
any animal-based foods are the people most likely to have a deficiency.
Those who have difficulty absorbing vitamin B12 may also suffer
from a deficiency. Cobalamin is absorbed in the intestines and needs
a secretion from the stomach called gastric intrinsic factor in
order to be effectively absorbed. Those deficient in gastric intrinsic
factor absorb much less vitamin B12, and therefore may suffer from
a deficiency of it.
General symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency
can include tiredness, weakness, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation,
flatulence, reduction in appetite, and menstrual problems.
A lack of vitamin B12 can lead to megloblastic
anemia, which illustrates the connection between folate and vitamin
B12. Pernicious anemia is a type of megaloblastic anemia that results
from insufficient vitamin B12 intake or from deficient secretion
of gastric intrinsic factor. The effects of vitamin B12 deficiency
are almost identical from the symptoms of a folic acid deficiency.
These signs may include pallor of skin, headache, fatigue, syncope,
short breath, and palpitations. These symptoms can be totally reversed
through vitamin B12 treatment.
Neurological problems can also result from
a vitamin B12 deficiency. These problems can include numbness or
tingling sensations in the hands and feet, progressive neuropathy,
weakness in the legs, and problems walking. Neurologic problems
caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency may happen without any hematologic
problems (caused by anemia). Depending on the severity of the symptoms,
neurologic disorders resulting from a cobalamin deficiency may or
may not be able to be reversed through treatment.
Adeficiency of also can disrupt the synthesis
of DNA, which can negatively affect normal cellular growth and repair.
In elderly people, vitamin B12 deficiency may
result in mental disorientation, memory loss, and a yellowish tint
to the skin (jaundice).
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
Toxicity, Overdose:
Vitamin B12 is generally safe and is not toixic
even when ingested in very large doses through either food or vitamin

Double Barrel Speedway Stout
Online Bottle Sale
For those not able to attend our Anniversary Party and partake in the presale, we will be conducting our online bottle sale for Double Barrel Speedway Stout on Monday, August 14 at 11am sharp!
There will be a two (2) bottle limit, with no proxies this time around. The sale page can be accessed here. UPDATE 10 Aug 2017: DELAYED
We're looking forward to seeing everyone at AleSmith's 22nd anniversary party in the tasting room this Saturday, August 12 from 11am to 11pm! We've made a couple changes to our original plan and are excited to share updates with you:
Double Barrel Speedway Stout Stays in the Barrel:
When an artist works on a painting, it's up to that artist to decide when the final brushstroke has been applied and a work of art is ready to be shared with the world. Often it's those last few strokes that take a piece from "great" to "masterpiece." Here at AleSmithBrewing Company, we pride ourselves in taking this same meticulous approach to the craft of brewing the world's highest quality beers.
We anticipated having Double Barrel Speedway Stout ready for our fans in time for our 22nd Anniversary Party. However, we've decided it needs a few more strokes to go from great to masterpiece. So we've pushed back the release date to give this blend some extra time in the barrel to reach peak complexity.
Opening the Archives:
On a weekend that's all about celebrating the past, it seems only natural to swing open the archives and make rare, vintage AleSmithbottles available. Our loyal fans will have an opportunity to purchase classics and fan-favorites like variants of Barrel-Aged Speedway Stout, old vintages of Decadence, and other popular Barrel-Aged releases. Due to the extremely limited nature of inventory for each of these beers, there will be a one (1) bottle per person limit.
We will also be marking 22 individual bottles in honor of our 22 years and giving away prizes to the lucky purchaser of each marked bottle! Prizes will include VIP access to the speakeasy for you and nine friends; a private brewery tour for you and three friends hosted by AleSmith co-owner/CEO, Peter Zien; VIP access to the grand opening of CheeseSmith for you and one guest; and other great prizes.
Additional Party Details:
We will also have these amazing specialty beers on tap for the party in addition to our spectacular core lineup:
Tasting Room Specialty Tap List:
2016 Vietnamese Speedway Stout
2016 Barrel-Aged Speedway Stout
Nibs & Beans Speedway Stout
Lavender Lil' Devil
Dueling Casks: Bourbon Barrel-Aged Vietnamese Speedway Stout vs. Rye Whiskey Barrel-Aged Vietnamese Speedway Stout
Randall: Thai Speedway Stout infused with Bird's Eye Peppers
DJs will be spinning tunes for your entertainment during the middle of the day. Thank you as always for your support over these passed 22 years and we look forward to taking a walk down memory lane with you.
See you Saturday!

Psychiatrist Thomas Szasz labeled psychiatric coercion as medicalized terrorism.
Read books that psychiatrist Thomas Szasz wrote. Read his book Psychiatric Slavery or read his book Suicide Prohibition: The Shame of Medicine. Thomas Szasz wrote about thirty-five books.
Suicide should be respected as a civil and human right for adults. Psychiatric force, coercion, and confinement should be illegal.
Do what you can to outlaw psychiatric coercion. Once psychiatric force, coercion, and confinement are outlawed, we will live in a more just and peaceful society.
Tell legislators that psychiatric coercion should be outlawed. Email them, call them, Tweet to them, talk to them and so forth.
We need to have lots of individuals advocating for the abolition of psychiatric slavery.

27 Nov Cocktail Tuesday: Winter Sun Cocktail
Posted at 08:30h in Cocktails 0 Comments
Happy Cocktail Tuesday! If you're in Michigan like us, there's a pretty good chance you had snow on the ground this weekend. It was such a lovely surprise to wake up on Sunday morning to a fresh blanket of snow. It felt so refreshing and cleansing. So although winter is just getting started and we're really excited about the snow, we all know that there are some winter days in which you need something bright! We think this Winter Sun Cocktail from Two Tarts would be just the thing to brighten up a winter day.
Photo and recipe from Two Tarts.

Different Types of Stock and Stock Markets
For a new investor, it is important to know the various types of stocks on the market and the different markets, or different stock markets.
There are two basic types of stocks:
1. Ordinary shares
2. Preferred Stock
Ordinary shares are the "basic stocks" of companies directly affected by fluctuations in the Company's profit or loss. These shares are also distributed to the company's employees. Although high-risk is associated with common stocks, they are also highly profitable instruments because they have no fixed dividends. After the common stock, the preferred stock is assigned to the selected stakeholder. These shares hold a fixed dividend associated with them and are paid periodically to the stakeholders. They may be further subdivided into categories A, B and C with different price, limit and dividend amounts
Preference Shares Shareholders pay dividends before paying their ordinary shareholders' profits. If the company is liquidated for any reason, its preferred stockholders may withdraw their funds, and the common shareholders may not. However, less profit associated with the preferred stock
When the company's stock demand falls substantially, the company issues stock splits. Here, investors can buy twice the value of the stock at the same amount. With the increase in demand, there may be reverse split, which happens to be the opposite of the stock split.
The actual location of the securities transaction is called Stock Exchange ]. There are also two basic stock exchanges:
1. Physical Exchanges: For example, the New York Stock Exchange and AMEX
2. Virtual / online transactions: For example, NASDAQ
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has been operating since 1792. It is located on Wall Street and has strict rules for listing companies. New York Stock Exchange lists large companies such as Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart and General Electric. The New York Stock Exchange is also known as the "auction market"; this is because investors compete for shares on the floor as they do in auctions, and that share goes to the lowest bidder. The NYSE's stock is believed to be volatile and less volatile.
The American Stock Exchange (AMEX) is another major physical exchange operated in Manhattan. The maximum listing fee for the exchange is $ 250,000 and the maximum annual listing fee is $ 50,000. AMEX's core business is Exchange Traded Funds . In 1998, the American Stock Exchange merged with the American Securities Dealers Association (Nasdaq) to become the "NASDAQ – American Stock Exchange Market Group". Compared with the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, the American Stock Exchange has a free listing policy. Some companies listed on the AMEX are B & G Food Holding, Otelco, etc.
For Nasdaq, trading is virtual or via an online network. Investors and stock traders trade and interact via the Internet, virtually buying and selling stocks. Therefore, the Nasdaq there is no trading floor. Nasdaq lists "tech giants" such as Microsoft, Cisco and Oracle. It is also referred to as the "dealer market", and the transaction is not through auctions, but through dealings with buyers and sellers. The exchange's maximum listing fee is US $ 150,000 and the maximum annual listing fee is US $ 60,000. Therefore, the stocks listed here are more "growth-oriented"

To panic or not to panic? The pros and cons of PERS
Sombit Mishra
A few days ago, Neil Versel from MobiHealthNews wrote a piece called Panic Buttons for Seniors Must Go.He's partially right. Inasmuch as panic buttons are unlikely to protect seniors, either because seniors are unable or unwilling to press them in emergencies, there is a prevailing perception among caregivers that the panic button is a last resort option. To date, the panic button has been valued as a tool that can not only potentially save someone in case of a fall, but also protect them in the case of a home intrusion or other emergency event.
The November market report from Aging in Place Technology Watch reinforces that seniors are still more aware and likely to use panic buttons/personal emergency response solutions (PERS) and security alarms than technologies like electronic pillboxes and sensors that detect falls. What's interesting about the chart below is that 60% of seniors also said that they would value and use an activity monitor.

Hi mates, some of you asked me not too long ago to describe a day at work for a car designer and I promised I was going to write a hub about it. So here I am attempting to jot down about this unknown working envorinment. A large automotive supplier upgraded its brake line quality control processes by incorporating extra automation into its air-testing machines. In your case I suppose you possibly can have an opportunity to work one day in automotive business and close to design department. That's why most — if not all — automotive DMMs include a convenient audible tester that means that you can examine for continuity without having to look at the meter's display. They can have the suitable materials and experience to do the repair properly.
I will see if I can keep in mind the place it's. It's been a while since I services one, as I had a high technician who might do it higher than I could, so I solely did a few of these myself. Because most product literature will only define the good news and not the unhealthy, I'll be reviewing each one with sensible info on its makes use of and limitations. Parts of this text (those associated to -content/uploads//Ranking-2014-Q4-Rev.- ) have to be updated. Teens are exposed to Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Ocean Engineering in addition to Computer Science, Nanotechnology and Physics. If you have no choice however go to your automotive dealer, prepare the next finances for your new automotive battery as a result of these services are typically costlier. You can clear the paint off, and enhance the standard of and the grading of the bike.
Automotive Use: Since most trendy autos make use of an onboard laptop, some specialised handheld oscilloscopes may help a technician or mechanic take a look at the signals on each the pc itself and the sensors it depends upon, eradicating much of the guesswork. This automobile would have looked splendid if it had obtained a quality job in the original Mercedes-Benz Light Green Polyester paint. Touch screens, for example, aren't a lot use to those without tremendous motor expertise.
As you may see under, there's a development of the certification course of to tell apart what level of skill your auto restore technician is at. Built on practically 100 years of experience, the TI Automotive Fluid Carrying Systems Division designs and manufactures fluid carrying systems that meet the advanced assembly, design and performance challenges of at present's automobiles. Product and operation tests and inspections at completely different phases of the value chain are made to avoid these product recollects by ensuring end-person safety and security and compliance with the automotive trade necessities. For chrome components there's so much you are able to do. If you look at this, this is a fork crown.
To secure extra breadth within the auto restore market place, I would all the time combine alignment with a disc rotor and brake drum machining service using an Ammco 4000 series brake lathe. This perspective wants to vary as a result of retail prospects will spend thousands of dollars on components and labor, which have the very best profit margins of any product you sell. Scribbles 3D Fabric Paint bottles have thin nozzles that allow you to create comparatively tremendous traces of paint. I used a coats 10-10 for a pair years and there's a forty-forty that looked pretty tempting but I do not wish to buy yesterdays technology especially when the wheel business goes to excessive tech.

10 Photoshop alternatives
Affinity Photo is one of the few image editors outside of Photoshop that supports the CMYK color space, so it's the only one of these apps that I would call a true Photoshop alternative for designers. The $49 price tag ain't too shabby, either. Of course, if you're a web designer or photo hobbiest, you have a ton of options—including the excellent Pixelmator.
We Don't Need More Designers Who Can Code
I've always appreciated someone who has multiple talents. But I much prefer someone who does one or two things extremely well over someone who does a mediocre job at everything.
This article is a must read.
Filed under: I'll believe it when I see it
Epson has released the EcoTank series of printers, which claim to be able to run for nearly two years without having to replace ink cartridges (with an average run of 60 color and 30 b&w prints per week). The only catch being that you're going to pay $400-$500 up front for the printer.
My problem has never been that Epson printers cost too much or don't print ENOUGH. My problem has been that the cartridges clog or expire LONG before the ink cartridge runs out. EVERY. DAMN. TIME!
So file all this happy horseshit under "I'll believe it when I see it."
How to export InDesign layers as a layered PSD file
InDesign Secrets shared this excellent InDesign script that converts your layered InDesign file to a layered Photoshop file. Mike Rankin takes you through the simple steps in the article, but I'll tell you from experience that this is the sort of thing that is best left to designers who are obsessive about details like naming and organizing their layers, regardless of what program they're working in. And as Mike points out, this is something that is best left as the "final" step—as you won't know (or have a whole lot of control over) what remains editable after the conversion.
Ideal image sizes for your social media posts: It's actually really complicated
Who would have thought sharing an image on social media could be so complicated. After all the particulars, it appears that it boils down to using 1024×512 for horizontal images, and 800×1200 for vertical images.
It surely helps to scale and crop your images to the perfect size for each social network, but the bottom line is that if you share compelling images (or pictures of Kim Kardashian's ass), people will click and open the full size image anyway.
All you need to know about macro photography
Digital Photography School has put together a fantastic collection of links for their best articles on macro photography. If you're a photography hobbiest, it's well worth browsing through the articles.

Why "above the fold" in web design is complete bullshit, and why it still matters
"Users don't scroll for fun. They scroll for a purpose."
Back in the early days of the web, designing a web page meant putting the most important things "above the fold." Back then, that meant the first 500-600 pixels. Today, we have screens that show twice that amount on a cell phone, three-times that on small laptops, and even more on desktops. The "fold" is complete bullshit now, as the screen sizes have increased and vary widely by device.
But above the fold design still matters. You've probably heard the term "content is king." It's the truth that the very best web design can't escape. If you have great content, and you lead off with it above the fold while giving people a REASON to scroll, people WILL scroll.
Take a quick look at The Fold Manifesto: Why the Page Fold Still Matters.
5 web design myths debunked
Following-up on my earlier post today, here are 5 web design myths that simply aren't true.
"You can't have too much choice" is a phrase that all of us are familiar with, but in the context of design, is it true? Bluntly put, no it's not. In fact, it couldn't be further from the truth.
I had said that "above the fold" was complete bullshit, and number 2 in this article explains why quite nicely. Too many choices is another area where designers struggle with client requests, along with white space.
This article is a great read, with lots of informative links.
Adobe updates Creative Cloud apps
Adobe has updated the bulk of their Creative Cloud apps such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Premiere. Rather than list all the changes, I've linked to an update list provided by Macrumors.com. Some of the additions to Photoshop are really interesting, and InDesign seems a bit speedier. Another nice little update from Adobe.

Atlanta archbishop apologizes for sumptuous residence
In this Walk 31, 2014 photo, the former residence of Atlanta Archbishop Wilton Gregory sits under construction to be used as a rectory for six priests after Gregory moved to a in the vicinity $2.2 million mansion for his own use in Atlanta. Gregory apologized
One of the get the better of things that I have is take two of the Wilton decorating classes. Usually you can find these classes through the local craft store. Nothing better than hanging out with a collection of randoms twice a week, learning to make Victorian Roses. seriously, it was fun. and gave me something to do when the hockey season was over. A few things I learned:. #1: True your cake people. You know that cake hump that forms after it is baked. Slice that puppy off before you flip over the cake to get it out of the pan. Warm chocolate cake top with frosting. Crisco, Cake Release, or some other substance is the best way to go when coating your pan. back away from the spread. It takes awhile to figure out frosting. I went through a lot of batches before I mastered the consistency for frosting borders and swirls for cupcakes. Don't hesitate to research and practice all at the same time. This is how I learned to do flowers, borders, etc. Below is my first go at decorating with multiple colors. aptly named "Here fishy, fishy. I love to bake and to buy shoes. Especially ones from Italy I see at discounted prices. The thrill is in the hunt for the best bargain. I enjoy feeding people tasty treats from my small kitchen. Especially when the treats are so honourable, it is a race to my desk at work to grab one. Baking is something I do for fun and find relaxing. The pricing sheet is the cost of the ingredients, decorations, and time since I am not a licensed baker.

Terms of Alliance between the Galactic Empire and the Empire of Barsus
ARTICLE I: Economic Relations
SECTION 1: Trade The Empire of Barsus and the Galactic Empire agree to coordinate trade relations through their respective economic organs, the Imperial Trade Federation (GE) and the Imperial Economic Advisory Council (EoB) to such extent as to relax restrictions and support reciprocal moves aimed at diminishing or abolishing trade barriers between the signatory alliances.
SECTION 2: Foreign Investment In the same spirit as Section 1, both parties agree to reduce or remove barriers to foreign investment by the other party within the combined economies. National policies of member states will remain respected by both parties, but alliance-based restrictions should be reduced as much as possible to allow for the free flow of investment capital.
SECTION 3: Technology The signatory alliances agree to lay the framework for a technology-sharing program to voluntarily exchange technologies as offered or requested by both members. Such exchanges would be entirely at the agreement of both parties, and would not in any way be mandatory in order to protect the key strategic and tactical technologies. Upon approval by both signatories, the framework would be made available to private corporations to also act as a patent and copyright mediator in the event of cross-alliance disputes.
SECTION1: Non-Aggression Agreement The signatory alliances pledge to not enter into an armed conflict with the other, and to actively work toward preventing conflicts between individual member states. While both alliances may act in their own defense should unruly members of the other initiate offensive operations, both alliances will refrain from offensive action on behalf of the alliance's recognized government as long as this treaty remains in force.
SECTION 2: Reduction of Tensions In the event of a conflict of interest, both signatory alliances pledge to exhaust all diplomatic options with the other to reduce tensions and avoid an armed conflict.
SECTION 3: Member Relations The signatory powers agree to work to maintain good relations between member states, and to intervene should a member state declare war on a member state of the other signatory, be it through military action or political-economic means, including expulsion or a blockade.
Section 1: Mutual Defense The signatory powers agree to mutually defend one another in the event of an unwarranted attack by an outside power. This agreement does not extend to conflicts initiated by either of the signatory powers or their members. Conflicts entered by either alliance as a result of another mutual defense pact or other treaty do not require support from the other signatory. The level of support will be decided by the providing nation.
Section 2: Execution In the event of the invocation of Section 1, the signatory powers will agree to notify each other of major operations and to consider the possibility of joint operations, if warranted or feasible.
Section 3: Defense of a Mutual Member In the event of hostilities initiated against a mutual member, both alliances will negotiate a course of action; either one signatory will take the role of defending the member, or both alliances will agree to jointly protect said member.
SECTION 1: Humanitarian Relief The signatory alliances agree to assist the other in a time of humanitarian crisis that exceeds the afflicted alliance's response capability.
SECTION 2: Abrogation The treaty may be legally abrogated through the declaration of either signatory power with one week's notice. One week after notice is given, the provisions of the treaty will be considered terminated and the treaty itself null and void.
These Terms of Alliance, as ratified by the Imperial High Council, were signed into effect on this day, the Twenty-Eighth of September, Two-Thousand Ten.

Hear Her Roar!
You can find Jae on Facebook, Twitter, IG, wix.com, YouTube
We are gonna do things just a little bit different Baltimore. My girl Jae TheLyoness took the time to answer some real questions while out doing her thing. Let's hear her roar!
What part of Baltimore are you from? What do you love about the city?
I am not from a specific part of. I moved around a lot. I lived in baltimore for 5 years and for two I was homeless. So I was mostly in the west or east parts of the city. I love the Downtown harbor area because It helps me escape the other things in the city.
When did you start writing and how did that flow into music?
I started writing when I was 7 years old.
I was singing at 3. So music has just been in me.
My mom sings. My dad use to DJ.
My cousins rap and sing and play instruments so music has been here.
What is the most common misconception about female rappers?
The biggest misconception I would say is, the fact that female rappers have to compete with each other. That we "HAVE" to steal each others spot light. When really we were all given a different purpose in life so its no need to fight.
What makes you different from the others?
The fact that I rather give than receive. I rather give the message to those in need without thinking about who will give back to me. My lyrics show that i am not afraid to push the envelope. The fact that I am fearless and I am not afraid to be myself. I don't follow trends and I do what I feel is right and not what society tells me. I am a rebel.
What gives you your inspiration? When you start to rap, are you surprised by the reaction from those listening to you? (Talk about your Apollo Experience)
My inspiration can come from anywhere and anything I am doing at anytime.
I wouldn't say surprised because when you are confident knowing your gift and when you accept it and realize what your purpose is and follow it, its more of a sigh of relief that I was able to reach those I was supposed to. When I was at the apollo I was happy at the reaction that I got because it was like people actually got what I had to say. Sad to say that the opposite race from another country understood me more. They treated me like I was really a celebrity. It was awkward at first but it made me feel good about what I was doing. Maybe that was who I was suppose to target that night. You never know what plans God has for you. So Hey lls.
Who inspires you? Do you find that vulgarity in rap music is needed or can we do without?
God, My Mom, sisters, My Best friend (Evon Uniique), Lecrae , Logic and Dee-1 inspires me.
I feel like as an artist you should be able to express how you feel anyway that you like. As long as it isn't hurting the next person. Personally I am not an artist who is vulgar. I feel I am a lot better when i'm not.
What about your music do you want other to pay the most attention to?
The Message. The vision. what do you see when you hear it? How do you feel?
Talk about your first recording and first release; was it what you expected?
My first recording and release was produced by me and written by me. I was very proud of myself. It was the first beat I ever made but not the first song I've ever written. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. It was an experiment for me.
What was a true learning experience for you being a female in business?
THIS IS A MANS WORLD……lol so as a female I have to be aggressive to gain respect. You do have people who will try to take advantage of you.
Do you feel Baltimore as a whole accepts or looks down on artists in general? How real is the struggle from your view point?
Honestly everybody raps about the same crap so my answer is yes they get looked down on. I think that most artist from this area have to work ten times harder because Maryland is small. It takes more energy to get noticed here. Especially if you aren't saying anything that catches someone's attention. I think the struggle is hella real but as long as you are consistent, confident and quick with thinking you could really make it. Everything takes time.
What advice do you have for other up and coming artists?
Just be true to who you are. Always be real with yourself and your audience. Never allow negativity to ruin your goals and always Keep God First. This business is cruel so…..Be Strong and be aware. Dont believe everything you hear or see. Protect yourself and your music. keep your circle small. Be humble and keep the faith.
Who would you like to do a collaborative work with and why?
I would like to work with Lecrae,Dee-1, Logic and DMX. None of them are afraid of the truth and They seem like humble guys. despite what media says about DMX I still love my brother because everybody has flaws and my man is gifted. All of them are. I think we would create the most powerful music in history.
There you have it! Serious about her music, the struggle and the message. Jae is a force to be reckoned with in the music world!
With a message as real as the soul that presents it. This soft spoken, bright smiling always positive female is a force to be reckoned with!

My Take On the World of Bloggin'...
Why do we do it? Why do we blog?
I have read a lot of blogs.....I prefer blogs to Facebook or MySpace....that is a different world...OVER THERE....I'd rather blog!
But to each his own!
For me, bloggin' is a way to get all that crap that rattles around in my head out!!
I feel the need to vent.....a lot.....picture me when I'm ventin' as a woman that is stompin' around wavin' her arms......and this a great way to do it!
Now I don't put 98% of the bitchin' I have goin', here....I would seem very negative....and I don't want Jim Dandy to come and slap me around.....again....okay maybe I do......Go, Jim Dandy, Go....but that is beside the point!
I have little tales to tell....funny things....sad ones.....I wish others did the same...just a bit of background. When I blogged about the run away horse...2 gals said they had the same thing happen to them.
Tell me more!
I have found out one my favorite people was a Cougar!!
When I grow up that's what I want to be!!!
Hear me roar!!!
Bring on them YoungBucks!!!
What did you do as a teenager?
What makes you tick?
What are your hopes and dreams??
Do what feels comfortable to you! But Blog and tell me more!

It's been too long. . . but I've finally snuck in some blog time! I'm with you. . .the Myspace, facebook thing is just not my thing. Blogging seems a little more personal. Myslapce just reminds me of high school, and I don't like to work when I'm home.
You've given me some good blog idea too!

Well, my blog is about my cat, so I can't really go on, and on, and on, about me there. I can email you if you are really that interested.

Good grief, Nadine! I didn't know when I came over here that you were givin' a POP QUIZ!!! hahaha
I'm with you on the blogging vs MySpace/Facebook. I had to suspend my facebook for awhile because it was too distracting getting all those notices about messages and stuff.
I can't think of anything to tell you about right now but I'll put some thought into it.
