Hypothermia in burns is common and increases morbidity and mortality. Several methods are available to reach and maintain normal core body temperature, but have not yet been evaluated in critical care for burned patients. Our unit's ordinary technique for controlling body temperature (Bair Hugger®+ radiator ceiling + bed warmer + Hotline®) has many drawbacks e.g.; slow and the working environment is hampered.
The aim of this study was to compare our ordinary heating technique with newly-developed methods: the Allon™2001 Thermowrap (a temperature regulating water-mattress), and Warmcloud (a temperature regulating air-mattress).
Ten consecutive burned patients (> 20% total burned surface area and a core temperature < 36.0°C) were included in this prospective, randomised, comparative study. Patients were randomly exposed to 3 heating methods. Each treatment/measuring-cycle lasted for 6 hours. Each heating method was assessed for 2 hours according to a randomised timetable. Core temperature was measured using an indwelling (bladder) thermistor. Paired t-tests were used to assess the significance of differences between the treatments within the patients. ANOVA was used to assess the differences in temperature from the first to the last measurement among all treatments. Three-way ANOVA with the Tukey HSD post hoc test and a repeated measures ANOVA was used in the same manner, but included information about patients and treatment/measuring-cycles to control for potential confounding. Data are presented as mean (SD) and (range). Probabilities of less than 0.05 were accepted as significant.
The mean increase, 1.4 (SD 0.6°C; range 0.6-2.6°C) in core temperature/treatment/measuring-cycle highly significantly favoured the Allon™2001 Thermowrap in contrast to the conventional method 0.2 (0.6)°C (range -1.2 to 1.5°C) and the Warmcloud 0.3 (0.4)°C (range -0.4 to 0.9°C). The procedures for using the Allon™2001 Thermowrap were experienced to be more comfortable and straightforward than the conventional method or the Warmcloud.
The Allon™2001 Thermowrap was more effective than the Warmcloud or the conventional method in controlling patients' temperatures.
Transient hypothermia (i.e. low body core temperature) is common in burns. All patients risk a decrease in body temperature between the scene of trauma and admission to the burn unit. At the burn unit repeated procedures under anaesthesia mean that the risk of hypothermia is not reduced for a long part of the patient's stay. Despite this risk, little progress has been made to resolve the issue.
In our burn unit the typical approach to combat hypothermia would be increased ambient room temperature, resuscitation with warm fluids, warm blankets, radiators in the ceilings, and hot air. These techniques are often easily available and technically less demanding but often not effective enough and slow working as well as influencing the staff's work environment.
For hypothermic trauma patients a number of rewarming modalities have been described and can be divided in three main strategies; passive rewarming (optimizing the environment thus allowing endogenous heat production), active external rewarming (adding heat to body surfaces), and active core rewarming (adding heat to internal body surfaces) [1].
Even though passive rewarming could be considered the basic first step in rewarming a cold patient it alone is seldom efficient enough in burn care and should be combined with other modalities. Active external rewarming by e.g. convective air blankets is routinely used in burn care. However, peripherally vasoconstricted patients are often less susceptible to active external rewarming and can also sustain thermal injuries by intense local heat build-up, especially in already traumatized (burned) skin. Probably the most frequently, and easiest, used active core rewarming technique in burn care is intravenous infusion of warm fluids. There are, though, more elaborate examples such as e.g. body-cavity lavage and airway rewarming available.
Any of the three rewarming strategies may be appropriate in certain settings and in situations where resource availability varies.
However, hypothermia during admission and procedures are still reported [2-7], even though numerous (new) rewarming approaches, including invasive techniques, have been described [5,8-13].
Invasive techniques using e.g. intravascular thermal regulation catheters have been proposed to be effective and reliable [13]. However, invasive techniques are not commonly available and certainly more technical challenging at least regarding burn patients. Catheters need to be introduced centrally in highly bacterial susceptible patients and its safety and efficacy is still to be investigated in burn patients.
Hypothermia is associated with several deleterious effects and increased morbidity and mortality. Complications such as myocardial ischaemia, arrhythmias, vasoconstriction, and coagulopathies are associated with hypothermia, as is impairment of wound healing, and abnormalities of the immune-, stress-, and neurological systems [8,14-18].
The patient's core temperature is defined as the temperature in the central circulation, and is regulated by the hypothalamus. The core temperature in a healthy human being is fairly constant (36.5-37.5°C) despite fluctuating ambient temperatures, and this allows the biochemical processes to function unaffected by the outer conditions [5,15]. However, patients being anaesthetised in general, and injured patients in particular, face an inherent risk of hypothermia during procedures [5,8,11,19,20]. Hypothermia is technically recognised as a core temperature of less than 36.5°C, but a usual threshold for healthy subjects is < 35.0°C [8,15].
Hypothermia is further commonly divided into three groups depending on the core temperature (ranges for injured patients in brackets) [8]: mild 35-32°C (36-34°C); moderate 32-30°C (34-32°C); and severe < 30°C (< 32°C).
To prevent and combat hypothermia in burned patients in our unit we use Bair Hugger™, radiator ceilings, bed warmers (warm air), and Hotline® or Fluido®- infusion heaters. However, we still encounter hypothermia occasionally in patients, both during and after procedures. Because of the warming technique used, the ambient room temperature is often negatively affecting the staff while working close to patients for long periods of time. We have also noticed that even though warm air is circulating around the patient from the bed warmers, patients with leaking wounds (and thus wet bandages) become even more hypothermic, probably as a result of strong convection effects cooling the patient.
This spurred us to investigate other ways of preventing and combating hypothermia in burn patients, while keeping the staff's working environment tolerable.
Many methods of heating have been reported in the quest for the optimal and most efficient technique [9,16,21-24], and two relatively new techniques appealed to us: the Allon™2001 Thermowrap (a temperature-regulating water mattress-fluid-convection), and Warmcloud (a temperature-regulating air mattress-air-convection).
The fluid-convection technique has been studied during thoracic and abdominal surgery and has been reported to increase (and maintain) body temperature more efficiently than traditional methods [12,22,23,25,26]. Extended details about the Allon™ 2001 Thermowrap are given by Nesher et al. 2001 [12]. There are fewer scientific reports about the KanMed Warmcloud [21,24].
We could find no reports of the use of either the fluid- or air-convection techniques for patients with burns, and so have investigated them in burned patients, and compared them with our ordinary heating technique.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether either the fluid-convection or the air-convection technique could prove to be more efficient in preventing and combating hypothermia in burn patients as compared to our conventional method.
The study was approved by the local ethics committee (Dnr 03-303) in accordance with the ethical principles that originated in the Declaration of Helsinki.
Inclusion criteria were patients with burns (> 20%TBSA-total body surface area), a core temperature of < 36.0°C, and oral and written informed consent. Consecutive patients with these criteria fulfilled were considered for inclusion on admission, or after procedures.
Patients were randomised to be treated with 'Allon'-Allon™2001 Thermowrap+ Hotline® ((Allon Thermowarp™, MTRE, Israel), (Hotline® Blood and Fluid Warmer, Smiths Medical Sverige AB, Sollentuna, Sweden)), or 'Warmcloud'-Warm cloud + Hotline® (KanMed Warmcloud, KanMed AB, Bromma, Sweden), or 'Conventional'-Bair Hugger®+ radiator ceiling + bed warmer + Hotline® (Bair Hugger®, Medicvent AB, Umeå, Sweden).
All medical equipment including the Allon™2001 Thermowrap and KanMed Warmcloud was used according to the manufacturers' instructions.
The protocol was designed so that all patients were to be exposed to all 3 methods in a random fashion (according to a pre-study randomization scheme each patient could start with any one method and the other two followed randomly). Each treatment/measuring-cycle lasted for 6 hours, and should contain all three methods assessed for two hours each. Core temperature was measured every 15 minutes using an indwelling (bladder) thermistor.
To illustrate: a patient starts the study by being randomized to be rewarmed with the three techniques in the order of Conventional-Allon-Warmcloud. Thus the patient is subjected to firstly 2 hours of Bair Hugger®+ radiator ceiling + bed warmer + Hotline® (Conventional heating), thereafter the Bair Hugger® is removed, radiator ceiling and bed warmer turned off and the patient is put on the Allon™2001 Thermowrap mattress + Hotline® for two hours (Allon heating), whereafter the Allon™2001 Thermowrap mattress is removed and the patient is put on the KanMed Warmcloud mattress + Hotline® (Warmcloud heating) for two hours. Thus a 6-hour treatment/measuring-cycle is done with 2 hours assessment of each heating technique measuring core temperature every 15 minutes.
The planned 6-hour treatment/measuring-cycle was completed even if the patient reached a core temperature of > 36.0°C during the cycle. If a patient did not reach a core temperature of > 36.0°C within the 6-hour period, the same patient was included again, this time with a new randomisation protocol, and a subsequent 6-hour treatment/measuring-cycle.
Paired t-tests were used to assess the significance of differences between the treatments within the patients. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess the differences in temperature from the first to the last measurement among all treatments. Three-way ANOVA with the Tukey HSD post hoc test was used in the same manner, but included information about patients and treatment/measuring-cycles to control for potential confounding from ordering and also because not all patients received all treatments. A repeated measures ANOVA with information about all times and controlling for treatment, patients, and measuring-cycles for the same reason as above. Data are presented as mean (SD) and (range) if not otherwise stated. Probabilities of less than 0.05 were accepted as significant. The paired t-tests and one-way ANOVA were done with the help of StatView for Windows (version 5.0, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA) and the three-way and repeated measures ANOVA were done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, version 17, SPSS Inc, Chicago, Ill, USA).
A total of 10 patients that fulfilled the inclusion criteria of > 20% TBSA and a core temperature < 36.0°C were included in the study. The 10 patients (9 men, 1 woman) had a mean age of 48 years, mean body weight of 77 kg, and a mean total body surface area burned of 47%. The demographic data is shown in Table Table11.
The included patients gave rise to 18 treatment/measuring-cycles together with 21 'Allon', 23 'conventional', and 10 'Warmcloud' 2-hours periods. Of the 18 treatment/measuring-cycles 8 were completed with only the 'conventional' and 'Allon' methods however still in a randomized fashion. In these cases the 3 × 2-hour period with 15 minute intervals was followed, but the patient was exposed to only the two methods of heating. This was considered in the management of statistical data.
Individual results are shown Table Table22 and the complete data-set is found in Table Table3:3: Appendix. 'Allon' increased the temperature in all 21 cycles and gave a mean change in temperature of 1.4 (0.6)°C (range 0.6-2.6) whereas 'conventional' showed a mean change in temperature of 0.2 (0.6)°C (range -1.2 to 1.5). 'Warmcloud' showed a mean temperature increase of 0.3 (0.4)°C (range -0.4 to 0.9) (Figure (Figure1).1). The 2 hour-cycles of the 'conventional' heating technique either increased the patients' body temperature in 12/23 cycles, did not affect the temperature at all (1 cycle), or decreased the temperature in 10/23 cycles. Of the total 10 cycles the 'Warmcloud' increased the patients' body temperature in 8 (Table (Table2)2) and decreased the temperature in 2. There was significant differences (p < 0.0001) in temperature change in favour of 'Allon'. When split into first, second, and third 2-hour periods of the 6-hour treatment/measuring-cycle there were larger increases in core temperature with the 'Allon' than with the other two techniques for each period (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, and p < 0.05, respectively) (Figure (Figure22).
There was a significant difference between the methods of heating (p < 0.001) with a significant advantage for 'Allon' compared with both 'conventional' and 'Warmcloud' techniques (p < 0.001 in both cases). There was a significant interaction between the 'Allon' technique and time (Figure (Figure33).
Transient hypothermia in burned patients is common. Because the burn itself includes damaged and severely disturbed thermoregulation and fluid regulation, burned patients are at risk of developing hypothermia, which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Several ways of reaching and maintaining a normal core temperature are available.
Burned patients also often become hypothermic during prehospital treatment and procedures, and it is difficult to rewarm patients, in part because their large open wounds leak fluid that increases heat loss by evaporation; leaking wounds also lead to wet bandages and so convective loss increases.
To be able to maintain a patient normothermic during resuscitation and treatment is important to avoid complications and for an adequate wound healing. A randomised controlled trial by Melling et al. showed that preoperative warming of patients significantly reduced the number of post operative infections [16].
The basic principle of increasing the ambient temperature is seldom sufficient, and the staff's work environment is also affected.
The fluid convection technique increased core temperature in all patients during all treatment/measuring-cycles, whereas the conventional method and the air-convection technique quite often either reduced the core temperature of the patients or increased it by only a small amount. The fluid convection technique was the only method that showed a significant correlation with time, that is, the longer the patient was left on the temperature regulating water-mattress, the more the core temperature increased (Figure (Figure33).
The fact that 8 treatment/measuring-cycles consisted of just the conventional and the air-convection techniques has been considered in our analysis. However, even though the number of patients and treatment/measuring-cycles included is fairly small, a significant difference in increase in core temperature was shown among the different methods of heating in favour of the fluid-convection technique. This was true regardless of the order in which the patients were treated by each method (Figures (Figures11 and and2).2). Still, a two-way experiment (with reverse-crossover) to confirm these findings would certainly be of considerable value. Nevertheless, these findings make us think that the results are relevant and may be generalizable to a larger group of patients and settings.
The superiority of the fluid-convection technique in increasing and maintaining body temperature better than the other heating techniques examined, based on intravenous fluid warmer and forced-air warmer in open heart and abdominal surgery (previously shown by Nesher et al. and Janicki et al.) [12,22] further strengthens our assumption that our findings are also generalizable to the burned patients.
Even though not studied in this paper, others have shown that the haemodynamic state of the patients is also improved when they are treated with fluid-convection technique as indicated by a higher cardiac index and lower systemic vascular resistance [12,22]. This is also of considerable value for burned patients but needs to be further studied.
The work environment also improved because the bulky and noisy bed-warmers (fans) could be omitted and the ambient temperature was improved (reduced to levels more comfortable to the staff) because the ceiling radiators could be turned off without the patients' core temperatures being reduced while warmed by the fluid-convection technique.
It is important to stress that the evaluation of the three warming techniques was done on patients that for some reason had developed mild hypothermia and the methods were evaluated on the point of ability to normalize the temperature in a short time perspective, i.e. 2 hours. An evaluation was not performed on the ability of the techniques to maintain normothermia. The latter effect may be less demanding for any technique.
It needs also to be pointed out that the conventional temperature controlling technique presented in this investigation has been developed and used for many years prior to this study and the burn treatment most commonly offered during the development of the technique has been the open exposure technique for burn care. This procedure is not used today and this is also an argument supporting the use of the fluid-convection technique. However, the changing and using another temperature regulating procedure also calls for an evaluation of how the temperature control systems may affect the whole burn care program and in the final end the wound healing process. The latter has not been evaluated in this study and needs also to be considered in the overall conclusions of the temperature regulating procedure used.
Nevertheless, it is obvious that the many adverse consequences of hypothermia in burn patients suggest that everything that can be done to prevent, or combat, low core temperature is important as to avoid increased morbidity and mortality.
The fluid-convection technique (represented by the Allon™2001 Thermowrap) was more effective than both our conventional method and the air-convection technique (represented by the KanMed Warmcloud mattress) for the normalisation of accidental mild hypothermia in patients with significant burns. This technique also lead to an experienced improved work environment for the burn unit staff.

There are infinite benefits that travel can bring to our lives. We all deserve to see the beauty of this world and experience the variety of cultures that comes with the territory of travelling. There is something so wonderful about exploring a place you have never been to before!
A new perspective
When travelling, we inevitably gain a new perspective of the world and our outlook on life. For me, it has been and will always be an eye opening experience to see how other people live and the different landscapes that nature provides in abundance. Travel gives us the opportunity to leave the comforts of home and get out into the big wide world and experience life in a new country.
Time to ourselves
Only when we truly take time to enjoy exploring new countries, it may become apparent that life is what you make of it. Every time I go abroad, I feel excited to indulge in a new environment. Travel will allow you to take life at your own pace and really reflect on your life and what you want out of it.
We are all students of the earth and we don't know everything; travel really highlights this. I have come to the conclusion that I really don't know that much at all! Learning about new cultures and their customs and traditions is fascinating and in some cases, it's life-changing! We can all learn a thing or two from taking the plunge to just travel.
Exploring the world will give you a new found feeling of gratitude for the life you have, especially if we are visiting a third world country. I have always felt truly grateful for my life and the people in it. When our problems seem like the end of the world, travel will shake us by the arms and show us that we have a won the lottery, our lives.
Life choices
People travel for different reasons. Some are looking to find themselves on a long quest of self- discovery, and others just want to visit friends and family. Some of us are travelling for professional reasons, and for some of us, it's an escape from our current reality. I could go on…but what I am getting at here is travel is a choice that leads us to self –discovery and a new understanding of the world regardless of the reason. And that in of itself is a great reason to travel.
New friends
Inevitably, if you travel alone especially, you will meet people and potentially form new friendships alone the way. I have experienced this and it is truly magical to connect with a new person who has your best interests at heart. I feel this is probably the highlight of travel. A place isn't a place without the people. When we travel, it is a chance to form a connection with people that could potentially stay in our lives! These are the friendships that create the spice of life!
Develop skills
Travelling offers a great opportunity to gain new life skills. Becoming adaptable and flexible when travelling is paramount. We are all capable of looking after ourselves at home, but once we travel, this is truly put to the test. Travel almost requires you to be open, resourceful and sociable.
These are a few ways in which travel has benefited me and I wouldn't have it any other way! I have developed life skills, made many friends around the globe and most of all, travel has given me the gift of precious memories that will forever make me smile inside. I want to encourage you to join me in exploring the world and come back and let me know how it went! If you are apprehensive, I say go for it because tomorrow is never certain and today is all we will ever have!

BENIN — THE kidnappers of the special assistant to the first Lady of Edo State, Mrs Clara Oshiomhole, are demanding N20 million ransom.
The whereabout of the General Manager of the Rapid Response Agency of Edo State government, Mr Isaac Osahon, who was abducted the same day is still unknown.
The demand of the kidnappers comes as a pastor with Deeper Life Bible Church, identified as Tada Ehondon, was abducted by armed men suspected to be kidnappers yesterday at his residence in Benin City.
It would be recalled that Governor Adams Oshiomhole recently launched a joint security outfit, tagged Operation Thunderstorm penultimate week and urged the operatives to stop the incessant incidents of kidnapping and violent crimes in the state.
But kidnapping has persisted, even after the president approved the deployment of soldiers to assist the mobile policemen already on ground.
Vanguard was reliably informed that the situation was giving the governor grave concern and has urged security agencies in the state to double their efforts.
The pastor, whose name was given as Tada Ehondon, was said to have been abducted on Monday night in front of his house at Ugbioko village, along Ekenwan Road, near Benin City .
It was learnt that the abductors of the special assistant to the first lady, identified as Mrs Omheme, opened contact with the family Tuesday night and are demanding N20 million to release her.
It is yet to be ascertained whether the same gang of kidnappers was the one that abducted the general manager of the Rapid Response Agency.
The two government officials were kidnapped separately last Monday.
However, spokesman of the police in the state, ASP Peter Ogboi, said "all efforts are being made to secure their release and that is all I can tell you for nowâ€.

Over the weekend I started on the Land rover as I had a sneaking suspicion that it would be troublesome and I can tell you it was. It has loads of ejector pin marks, poor fitting parts and lots of flash to clean up. I have fiddled and fettled the body parts now so they all line up and actually follow the correct lines. The worst fit issue was with the rear body that when in place left a gap between it and the doors you could drive a pig through! I just cut the locating pins off the bottom and ensured it butted up to the cab floor.
Having said all that the details such as they are look good especially the land rover badges. The canvas tilt looks more like a hard top but I plan to get it glued then attack it with the sander to get a more realistic look. I have also used accurate armour wheels as the kit ones look too skinny. I used AA set LRA005, goodyear tyre set. Five minutes work and the wheels are sorted.

Great job mate ,sorry didn't get back sooner been on night duty, the Accurate armour wheels make a big change still amazed that they didn't remove the six bolts and change them to five in the kit ..I used a sander and some gentle heat to alter the tilt on one I made a while ago .ReplyDelete
Keep going mate.
Great start and I love how this one goes together.ReplyDelete
Cheers guys glad you like it, Terry thanks mate I eventually went for the accurate armour ones in the end thanks for that.ReplyDelete

WASHINGTON – Federal officials declared a public health emergency for Texas and Louisiana Friday in anticipation of Hurricane Rita's strike, even as they continued to urge people in the storm's path to get to safety — or hunker down if it's too late to leave.
The government already had moved some emergency medical supplies to Texas, but Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt (search) declared a public health emergency to ease some of the state and local resources have been fully mobilized," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said as the Category 4 storm bore down on the Texas and Louisiana coast, with landfall expected after daybreak Saturday.
Victims of Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged the Gulf Coast last month, were promised federal housing assistance including three months rental payments for people left homeless.
Chertoff said more than 1.5 million people have been evacuated from Rita's danger zone. Heavy rainfall from two breaches in New Orleans levees caused water to pour into parts of the city still flooded — and largely abandoned — from Katrina, he said.
"We will do whatever it takes to help all these citizens get back on their feet, to repair the damage from these twin disasters and to rebuild their lives and their communities," he told a news conference.
President Bush visited the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Washington before flying later in the day to his home state of Texas, where highways were jammed with people trying to escape. The president was to review preparations and thank first responders who were among the hundreds of emergency personnel dispatched to expected disaster areas.
Later Friday, Bush planned to monitor Rita's approach from the U.S. Northern Command in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Bush received a video briefing on Rita from the National Hurricane Center during his visit to FEMA. "We will make sure that my entourage does not get in the way of people doing their job."
Bush told FEMA employees, "We now are facing yet another big storm. I appreciate the folks here working so hard to help the folks on the ground prepare."
Chertoff said military assets that were already in the area included 40 Coast Guard aircraft, nine cutters, more than 5,000 members of the Texas National Guard and 26 helicopters.
He said they would begin to aid Rita's victims "as soon as it is safe to do so."
Responding to hundreds of thousands of people left homeless by Katrina, Chertoff and Housing Secretary Alphonso Jackson announced an estimated $2 billion program to pay for three-month rental costs anywhere in the country for homeowners or renters whose residences were destroyed in the storm.
Through the program, FEMA will pay upfront costs of $2,358 — based on national fair-market housing rates — for Louisiana and Mississippi victims who qualify. That amount would be adjusted after the three-month period, when victims have settled in and can determine their actual temporary rental costs.
Homeowners and renters will be eligible for assistance for up to 18 months as FEMA works with state and local authorities to rebuild the devastated communities, officials said.
Additionally, Katrina victims who had been living in public housing or were homeless when the storm hit will receive 100 percent residential assistance through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the official said.
"We're going to make sure help is on the way immediately to those who need it," Chertoff said.
As of Friday, more than 747,000 households struck by Katrina had qualified for FEMA assistance.
Bush's Cabinet met to begin assessing the government's response to Hurricane Katrina, which brutalized the Gulf Coast. Frances Fragos Townsend, Bush's in-house homeland security adviser, is leading an administration investigation of "what went wrong and what went right" in the sluggish federal reaction.
With $62 billion already appropriated by Congress for the ongoing Katrina relief effort, there is federal money for the additional costs of Rita.
About $46 billion remains in FEMA's disaster relief fund as the pace of spending slowed to an average of $300 million per day over the past week. At one point, the government was spending some $2 billion a day in response to Katrina.

These books of self-help, teach theories only.
One has to apply the theory practically in his life.
In and during the process of applying theories, one shifts from own reality.
During and after the process, one tries to become what he is not.
One becomes and tries to become, what he is not.
So here I see a conflict:
Conflict between
'I am' and 'I want to be/become'.
What Jiddu says is his view.
UG may have has different and shouting words on this topic.
Leave Osho please.
Buddha, Mahavira, Ajit, Makkhali, Nanak, Kabir.. all might have had different or same or similar opinions.
Spiritual books are not less than Self-Help books for religious people.
Same with philosophers -words from thinkers (including names mentioned above) are nothing but entertainment for their intellect.
One lives and dies for nothing,
As time comes,
To complete the process, journey, ..
After spending a whole life, one becomes useless
For society, and
For himself too.
He remembers/recalls the past because of having no future
To dream about,
To plan for.
An old man also is not always in 'I am'.
Ha has nothing 'to be/become'.
But I don't see them happy and free from the conflict.
They are stuck between the conflict of
'I am' and 'I was/used to be'.
'I am' is always
In between
'I was/used to be' and 'I want to be/become'.
I have not given or said anything new or strange, amazing, fantastic.
What before 'I was/used to be'?
What after 'I want to be/become'?
(Oh these two questions are useless, producing uselessness through so called spiritual / intellectual talks)
I see conflict because (may be) I'm in conflict. I'm not sure about others and commoners. My observations are not observations of all and I can't make opinion/derision for all.

Jersey Post issues Red Cross stamps
Stamps marking the 150th anniversary of the International Red Cross movement are being issued by Jersey Post.
The stamps are being released in time for Liberation Day on 9 May, the anniversary of the day Jersey was liberated from Nazi occupation.
Melanie Gouzinis from Jersey Post said the stamps reflected some of the aspects of work undertaken by the Red Cross.
During the occupation islanders received aid from the organisation.
One of the stamps will feature the SS Vega, the Red Cross ship that brought much needed food supplies to the island towards the end of the occupation.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement provides protection and assistance to people affected by disasters and conflicts.
Wednesday, the day the stamps will be released, is officially World Red Cross Day.
Mrs Gouzinis said: "The stamps have been illustrated to reflect some of the different aspects of work undertaken by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement around the globe.
"During the Occupation of Jersey from 1940 to 1945, islanders experienced first-hand the life-saving efforts of the Red Cross and the stamp subjects were as relevant then as they are today.
"The stamps are presented in sheets of 10, each one with a different border illustrated according to Jersey's own association with the Red Cross."
During the Occupation, the Red Cross postal message system kept Channel Islanders in touch with their relatives and the Red Cross ship SS Vega delivered food parcels.
Following the Allied Invasion of Normandy, supplies to the island were cut off with many islanders close to starvation.
The arrival of the SS Vega into the harbour at St Helier with much needed supplies at the end of 1944 has been illustrated on the miniature sheet.
Nick Chandler, operations manager for the Red Cross in the Channel Islands, said: "We are delighted Jersey Post has chosen to honour the Red Cross with this beautiful set of stamps."
The stamps, First Day Covers and Presentation Packs have been painted by stamp artist Nick Shewring.

Image acquisition
X-ray tomography produces three-dimensional images of the interior of rock samples without destroying them, in just a few dozen minutes. However, this technology generates huge volumes of data, which might end up not being used effectively.
Image processing and analysis
Voxaya develops digital simulation and analysis tools based on 3D images. Specially created for petrophysical applications, these tools are both effective and unprecedented. In particular, they offer the unique feature of operating rapidly on very large images, without any limitation on precision. This makes it possible to evaluate a rock's porousness in just a few minutes.
Digital simulation
Voxaya's software is based on work performed by the company's founding team, combining experimental research, imaging, and digital modeling. We are particularly dedicated to leveraging the complementary nature of these different approaches to produce precise analyses. We also feel that is very important to evaluate the uncertainty introduced by limitations of image acquisition equipment and digital methods.

Initiated in January 2005 by the then Prime Minister and current President of Sri Lanka, President Mahinda Rajapakse, Nenasalas are Sri Lankan telecentres which "provide access to diverse and unrestricted sources of information and means of communication to all the citizens." It's been 8 long years since the first ever Nenasala was opened at the Kirivehara Temple in Katarama and there are almost 700 Nenasalas being established around the country. Since its inception in year 2005, Nenasala's have been a great initiative by the Sri Lankan government and also is fine example that is being implemented by various other countries. According to a survey by ICTA, monthly more than 200,000 persons use the network of Nenasalas. It is approached by farmers, fishermen, the self-employed, the private sector, school children, teachers, vegetable vendors, foreign employment seekers etc.on a regular basis.
In celebrating the success of the Nenasala project since its inception eight years ago, ICT Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA) has recently launched a book on the Nenasala project. The book titled "Nenasala The Sri Lankan telecentre experience" was written by Dr. Basheerhamad Shadrach, former executive director of Telecentre.org Foundation. Nenasala:The Sri Lankan telecentre experience reveals the history of eight year long story of nenasalas, its evolution and uniqueness of the project. It further discusses the present status of the project along with lessons learned and several case studies. Not only that, this publication is also dedicated to "celebrates the handy-work of the grassroots champions in each of the 664 nenasalas; the team at ICTA; the partners who lent support; and, the stalwarts at the President's office, who believed in the Nenasala movement."
The book was officially launched during the event: Nenasala Felicitation Awards 2013 which was held recently in Colombo, Sri Lanka. ICTA has published the book in Sinhala & Tamil (local languages of the Country) versions as well.

Dollar for dollar, a good press kit is your best tool for publicity. A press kit qualifies as a strategic tool and how you use it requires some finesse.
What is a press kit? In quick summary, it is a presentation for people in the media that helps them run a story about you. This presentation captures all of the key facts about what you are doing – it answers the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How of something newsworthy. Beyond this, the goal is a compelling story that engages readers.
Press kits are covered in great detail by many web sites – it's not our purpose here to reinvent the wheel. Two points deserve emphasis:
What you might not find discussed elsewhere is press kit customization. Just as you should engage to personalize your emails, so also do you want to customize your press kit to each venue. While you want all of your information to be consistent, you might want to emphasize specific parts of your story to certain venues. Some venues will be interested in the human side of your business and app development. Other venues will be interested in what your app does – for business, travel or entertainment.
If you've done your research, you will have a good idea of the type of stories a specific publisher likes to run, even what kinds of stories individual editors, journalists and bloggers like.
You might make your press release publicly available for download on your site or set it up behind a form so you capture names and email addresses. Getting contact information is recommended. Whatever your choice, have this or instructions to get your press kit set up on your contact page.
Newsworthy Stories. Place yourself in the shoes of a journalist or blogger, someone who gets a lot of email, someone tired of the same old press releases. Is your story honestly going to stand out enough for them to run your story? That's the difference between your story being seen by potentially hundreds of thousands of people or being tragically deleted.
Research and Targeting. When it comes to sending your press kit out, do your research to get it into the right hands. A business news editor is usually not interested in new game releases.
The Show Must Go On! Getting your story published is just the beginning. Let your media contacts know they can source questions through you if needed. If you come across important breaking stories, keep them in the loop. If you develop your media relations right, your future press releases will get more and better air time.
Your goal is to accelerate the penetration of your app within your audience. You are likely competing with many other developers, many other apps. Your means to success is based upon a simple process – get two of your friends to show your app to two of their friends. If you managed to repeat this every day for a month, you would literally achieve global domination.
But, nothing works that simply or that consistently.
While it takes extra effort, developing relationships with groups and organizations can help you accelerate your marketing efforts.
What are these groups? They could be:
This starts with having something to offer and a friendly or professional relationship with a decision maker in the group. This is the old fashioned way of networking. Obviously, you want to approach groups that would have a specific interest in your app.
Consider that the recommendation of a respected professional within an organization is likely to be followed by many others. There's the potential for guest articles, backlinks, reviews, interviews, collaborative projects of all sorts. This is directly in line with building "authority alliances" and grassroots networking.
Social networking is good. Approaching people one on one can take a lot of energy. Approaching leaders and advocates who are able to influence groups of people helps maximize your effectiveness.

As a person advances into their golden years, they may face new challenges due to changes in their health and finances. Understanding the top concerns among the elderly can help them and their families identify strategies to alleviate their worries.
Budgeting and Financial Management
The majority of elderly adults live on a fixed income after retirement, which can make budgeting essential for their financial wellbeing. However, the rising cost of food and utilities can make it hard for seniors to follow a strict budget. Having an emergency fund set aside for unexpected expenses can help to reduce financial concerns.
Options for Affordable Housing
Every age group has been hit hard by the fluctuating prices for homes, yet seniors face new concerns when finding a balance between their needs and what they can afford. Downsizing is one option that many elderly adults find helpful since a smaller home requires less maintenance and less money spent on utilities.
Paying for Healthcare
Health insurance coverage, copays, and other medical expenses can all add up, and trying to navigate through the different pricing structures can be confusing for seniors. Seniors and their families can cut some of these costs by carefully shopping for insurance plans and comparing rates. It is also important to try to prevent health issues by making sure seniors eat a healthy diet, exercise, and are protected from fall-related injuries.
Plans for Long-Term Care
New health problems are an inevitable part of aging, and seniors frequently worry about who will be responsible for their long-term care. Some seniors may worry about being a burden to their family, and others may not want to leave the comfort of their home. Fortunately, seniors today have a wide range of options for long-term home care in Annapolis that can be tailored to fit their needs. Talking about their preferences with loved ones can provide reassurance that they will be happy with the decisions made regarding their care when the need arises.
Learn more about promoting senior wellbeing by reaching out to Home Care Assistance. A trusted caregiver in Annapolis can run errands, grocery shop, prepare healthy meals, provide transportation and mobility support, and offer companionship. Call a friendly Care Manager at 443-302-2771 and learn more about how in-home care can benefit your aging loved one.

Shipping Out From Shanghai
By SUZANNE M. CHARLE; SUZANNE M. CHARLE is a writer and editor who divides her time between New York and Indonesia.
Published: January 22, 1989
AT the Shanghai Hai Xing Shipping Company dock, just down river from the steel skeleton of the Waibaidu Bridge, the summer holiday crush was on: Western backpackers, like the overburdened camels that once traveled the Silk Road, lumbered toward the inconceivably small immigration gate, while hundreds of old Chinese men and women flooded around them, pushing, pulling, shoving trunks and suitcases and well-wrapped baskets of vegetables, roots and assorted exotica.
A friend and I had been traveling through China at bone-jarring, brain-numbing speed and had decided to ease the pace by crossing the 823 nautical miles separating Shanghai from Hong Kong aboard the Hai Xing (the name means Ocean Excitement, or Ocean Happiness), one of three Chinese ships that sail the route with cargo and passengers. For 60 hours our most pressing decisions would be whether to rise in time for breakfast in the ship's dining room (7 to 8 A.M.) or to take a cup of tea from the bar up on A deck and sit in a rattan chair, watching whatever might float by on the East China Sea.
First, however, we were faced with the prospect of sharing our cabin with 70 other travelers: a well-meaning Shanghai acquaintance had volunteered to pick up tickets for us and had come back with fourth-class tickets, not the first-class tickets we had asked for.
My companion quickly achieved the proper perspective: as two Americans who could not hear the tonal difference between the Cantonese for four (pronounced say) and the Cantonese word for death (also pronounced say), who were we to quibble about a misunderstood vowel and sibilant? This would be a close encounter of the fourth-class kind, high jinx on the Hai Xing.
High jinx and high camp. Greeting us, with much waving of white-gloved hands, was the cabin crew, two conga lines of men and women dressed in 50's fashions. At the head of the lines was the gangway, precariously perched on a vintage 1958 orange and white pickup truck, its chrome-encrusted tail fins arching toward the upper decks of the Hai Xing. I all but expected to meet Bob Hope, on the road again and ready to sail on a slow boat from China. Instead, we were greeted by Jiang Guo Guang, the ship's second purser-cum-social director, an amiable man in his late 30's who promised to find us a private cabin, once the ship was under way.
Across the wide teak deck, we found General Class, once a salon dedicated to first-class pleasures but now, with egalitarian camaraderie, honeycombed with bunks. A young woman showed us to ours, Nos. 61 and 63, then offered us some cool, wet towels and cups of green tea. Refreshed, we stowed our gear and took our place at the starboard railing.
Up the Huangpu River, the outline of the Bund shimmered in the late afternoon haze. In this light, the strip of pre-revolutionary Beaux Arts buildings - all gussied up with burnished brass doors, Gothic columns and Chinese tile roofs - took on a sumptuous air. Shanghai had captured the imagination of generations of adventurers and writers: Aldous Huxley had called the city ''life itself, nothing more intensely living can be imagined.'' Marlene Dietrich hinted at some of that intensity in ''The Shanghai Express'' when she quipped, ''It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily.''
The buildings had been the work and play headquarters for Europeans and Americans who, in the mid-19th century, commandeered ''concessions'' in this rambunctious river port. Looking at the buildings' profile, it was easy to forget the slightly rundown reality of modern-day Shanghai and imagine, instead, the ''Paris of the Orient,'' where Noel Coward stopped at the Cathay Hotel (now part of the Peace Hotel) to nurse a bout of influenza and complete a draft of ''Private Lives.''
But our ship was heading east now, away from the Bund, past godowns of timber and terminals black with coal dust, red with iron ore. On the river, scores of ships - tankers, barges, small tenders, fragile fishing skiffs - tangoed to some unheard tune. Their names rolled in a crazy, global syncopation: Hai Ying, Zhen Fen, Seki Kochi, Da Ye Bei, Mild Ocean, Jesus Mendendez, Cameilio Cienfuegoes, Kemerovo, Boxing Hai. Portside, the Pu Jiang tooted a greeting.
Passengers waved from two decks of the riverboat, but the bottom seemed deserted; ''Sometimes, the lower deck is flooded,'' a Danish backpacker explained. ''So it's really cheap, but you have to go up two decks to get dry.''
What, we wondered, of our own accommodations? As if on cue, Mr. Jiang appeared, ready to escort us to our new cabin, Class 2A. All luxury and first were taken, but perhaps this would be all right.
All right? The Deck A cabin could not have been better. Berths (three, one unclaimed) and desks (two) were designed in a 50's moderne style, with light wood and brass fittings. A separate shower and toilet, two sinks in the room, lace curtains blowing in at the open porthole completed the picture.
Next morning, in Deck A common area, a steward put up a timetable for movies (two showings, all in Chinese; English-language films - ''We Only Just Began (sic),'' ''It's Yesterday Once More'' - on return passage.) In the lounge on the bridge deck, we met Mr. Jiang who, as promised, told us about his ship.

This is always a moving target, but many museums have tested glue guns for gluing Ethafoam, Coroplast, and Volara for exhibit mounts and shipping crate cushions. The 3M 3748 seems to get good reviews, but I think it requires a special glue gun. The National Gallery of Art (USA) is always doing a lot of tests on this sort of thing, because they send out tons of travelling exhibits. It would be good to see what they are currently using.

Get the facts about Saint Martins University sonography program, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Nursing is one of the fastest-growing job areas, and for good reason. As the population ages, medical care will continue to expand rapidly. Concentrating on Saint Martins University sonography program, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the MRI department for course registration deadlines, and ultrasound program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Saint Martins University.
MRI technologists operate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners to create diagnostic images, whereas radiologic technologists perform diagnostic medical imaging using x-rays. An X-Ray Scan utilizes a collimated X-ray beam to produce an image on film. Several different views are obtained of the body part being imaged. The films are then passed on for review by a radiologist and your primary care physician. This is the oldest method of imaging, but is still the standard in general medical practice. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), on the other hand, provides detailed pictures of the body without ionizing radiation. During this procedure, the patient is placed within a large magnet and radio waves are passed through the body. Computer-generated images clearly show diseased tissue in the brain, spine, and joints.
For further definition, a Cat Scan utilizes a high tech, 16-slice scanner. The computer is able to render different perspectives, in order that the image may be viewed in various planes. Images appear on the technologist's monitor in a matter of seconds, and because there is no waiting for film to be developed it reduces the need for repeat exams. Digital images are easily stored and transferred, eliminating the dependency on one set of originals, which can be misfiled or otherwise lost. Beyond major requirements within the MRI department, you may consider Edgecombe Community College cafeteria menu as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

The Farmhouse
Eastfields Farm lies to the north of the village of Melchbourne and enjoys a private elevated position protected by its own grounds and land, with stunning views over open rolling countryside.
The Farmstead is approached along a tree lined drive with the south facing, late Georgian Grade II Listed farmhouse dating to the mid-19th century, with later additions. The farmhouse has been sympathetically upgraded, but has not lost any of its charm or original character and many period features remain. Complementing the farmhouse is a detached cottage.
The extensive range of well-maintained traditional farm buildings lie to the north and provide approximately 10,854 sq ft of covered accommodation. Whilst currently used for storage and leisure purposes, they clearly have potential, subject to planning, to be converted for a wide range of uses.
A viewing will be essential to fully appreciate not only the tranquil rural setting, but the lifestyle opportunities Eastfields Farm provides.
The Accommodation
Part glazed doors open into the tiled porch with matching doors leading through to the tiled reception hall, which runs through the middle of the house. The two main formal reception rooms lie either side of the hall.
The drawing room has a feature brick fireplace with central exposed beam and full height French doors with working shutters opening to the main garden, which enjoys a southerly aspect.
To the side of the fireplace is a walk way through to the study and small conservatory beyond.
The dining room is the perfect size for entertaining and features a black marble fireplace and hearth with cast iron grate and inset tiling. Fitted book shelves sit to one side. Full height French doors with working shutters open to the garden.
A glazed door leads through to the conservatory which enjoys wonderful views over the main garden and open rolling countryside beyond.
Adjoining the conservatory is the farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams.
A two oven Aga is set within a brick fireplace and kitchen units are limed oak. Complementing the Aga is a Neff four ring hob and the kitchen has an integral Bosch dishwasher and double bowl stainless steel sink with drainer. A stable door opens onto the gravelled courtyard.
Lying off the kitchen is the utility room with butlers sink and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Within this room is a full height cleaning cupboard, a cupboard housing the oil fired boiler, with Sheila Maid and slatted shelving and a separate cloakroom.
The family room with wood burner and sitting room with stone and brick inglenook fireplace, lie along the rear of the farmhouse. Beyond the sitting room and having its own external door, is a further study with en suite shower, which in the past has been used as a bedroom. The cellar is accessed from the reception hall and is the perfect environment for laying down and storing wine.
First Floor
The main staircase gently rises to a galleried landing with picture window enjoying a wonderful view southwards over the rear garden and front field. The master bedroom suite lies at the western end of the house and enjoys a dual aspect with cast iron fireplace. The dressing room lies off with bespoke cabinetry and double doors open into the white bathroom suite.
Across the landing lies bedroom two with an original fireplace and walk-in wardrobe. Off landing is a part tiled family bathroom serving bedrooms two and three, which lie opposite. Bedrooms four and five lie off the rear landing and are served by another family bathroom with fitted storage and airing cupboard.
The Cottage
Lying to the eastern side of the farmhouse and attached to the five bay open carport is a brick under slated roof cottage. A stable door opens into a small hall with cloakroom to one side and storage cupboard opposite. The hall leads into the sitting room which opens into the kitchen/breakfast room.
Stairs lead up to the vaulted bedroom with en suite bathroom. Glazed doors open onto a small balcony and to the rear of the cottage is a paved seating terrace.
Farm Buildings
The traditional farm buildings lie to the north of the farmhouse, with the main range forming a U shape and enclosing a hard tennis court lying within the former open cattle yard. The eastern wing is divided into four rooms and currently used as games rooms; as identified on the floor plan.
The western wing features a workshop, dog kennel with walled run, garden stores along with main storage barn and former stables with brick feed manger.
The northern wing includes the former grain store and threshing barns. Adjoining is a further L shaped range providing seven open storage bays, along with store room and enclosed grass courtyard to the front.
Garden and Grounds
The main formal grounds lie to the front of the house and enjoy a southerly aspect. The manicured lawns are edged by well stocked herbaceous borders with mature trees providing dappled shade and adding structure. Lying to the east is a more enclosed cottage garden with borders offering a profusion of colour in the late spring/early summer. To the west is a further area of lawn which gently falls away down to a pond with small grass paddock beyond.
The Paddocks
The farmland extends to approximately 21.64 acres and is classified Grade II according to the Agricultural Land Classification of England & Wales. The soils are typical of the area being Calcareous Clay. The main arable field lies to the front of the farmhouse with boundaries defined by mature hedgerows and a belt of woodland running along the southern boundary. The remaining land lies to the north of the traditional farm buildings and enclosed by mature hedgerow boundaries is sown to grass and currently used for forage conservation. A fenced off natural pond lies in the south eastern corner.
Melchbourne is a picturesque former estate village set in open rolling countryside of North Bedfordshire. It has a church and public house.
The village is within a short drive of Kimbolton which offers a good selection of shops for essential needs, with the neighbouring village of Riseley having a shop for general provisions.
