With everything on the line in the most important basketball game in Prince Avenue Christian history, Lady Wolverines coach Richard Ricketts knew who he wanted to handle the ball.
Trailing Athens Christian by three points with less than 30 seconds remaining in overtime in last Thursday's Region 8-A tournament opener, Prince Avenue senior point guard Destiny David scored on a 3-pointer to tie the game, then hit a buzzer-beating layup to give the Lady Wolverines (24-3) the win and the first state tournament berth in school history.
"I didn't want that to be the last game of my senior year," said the 5-foot-3 David, who's played on the Prince Avenue varsity since her freshman year.
"Athens Christian ended our season last year. I did not want my senior season to end with another loss to our rivals."
Ricketts has a slightly different perspective, but he's grateful nonetheless.
"Winning that game fulfilled our preseason goal, which was to get to state," said Ricketts, whose team went on unprecedented seven- and 14-game winning streaks this season. "We obviously have had a great year up to that game. If Destiny hadn't stepped up when she did, it might have ruined all that we'd done. Her play in the fourth quarter and in overtime, it saved a lot of great things for us."
One of only two seniors on the Prince Avenue squad - which beat Towns County in the Region 8-A championship on Monday night - David was also the game's high scorer with 19 points, although Ricketts asks much more of his seasoned point guard than just to score.
"What's so good about Destiny is she understands what it means to be a point guard," said Ricketts, whose team played four games last week. "And the majority of the time, that means not scoring a whole lot. But Destiny keeps us on pace and gets us in the right stuff and she keeps us running. She's our coach on the floor. Her scoring average might not be that high, but she's picked up in the last couple of weeks."
"I like to think my strength is finding my teammates and giving them a chance to get open," added David, who's averaging 8.5 points per game, leads the Lady Wolverines in assists and steals and is among team leaders in rebounds. "I like to draw players into the lane and then kick it out. I love finding ways to get my teammates open. That's what I like to do."
The final sequence of plays in the Athens Christian game illustrated the communication Ricketts and David have developed in the last two years. After David's 3-pointer tied the game at 51-51, Athens Christian brought the ball down the court and committed a turnover with 9 seconds left on the clock. David took the inbounds pass, headed down the floor and listened for her cue.
"Destiny knew exactly what to do," said Ricketts. "She knew what I wanted in that situation. She needed to quickly get it to half court, and I'd call a timeout if I didn't like what I saw. As soon as I saw her split the last defender, I knew she was going to make it. At that point, the only thing in my mind was how many seconds would be left on the clock after she scored. She was in the right place at the right time, but she waits her turn and sometimes it comes at the end of a game."
After playing on teams that went a combined 20-47 in her first three seasons, David has experienced something this season that's been in short supply in recent times - fun.
"It's been really fun," said David, whose senior teammate is guard Lydia Campbell. "Even before we started playing region, we were having fun. It's basically playing a game, and when we all come together, it's been a lot of fun. Win or lose, in every game we've played this year we've gotten better at something."

My only tools: a KeySpan USB to Serial adaptor, serial cable, and telecom software on both ends. That would be fine for the short term, and sending files to and fro via Zmodem sure brought back memories. But I wanted something a little more elegant.
OS X doesn't support AppleShare over AppleTalk on LocalTalk, so that was out. And what was I to do about internet access?
Then it hit me -- I have a UNIX based machine sitting in front of me. One that surely has a PPP daemon. I could configure my iMac as modem-less dial-up ISP, and then use FreePPP/OtTCP on the Powerbook to access the 'net. Furthermore, OS X's FTP server would serve as a much nicer file transfer scenario than ZTerm.
So, in a nutshell, I:
- Mated the Powerbook and iMac using the KeySpan adaptor and serial cable.
- Used ZTerm (iMac) and Microsoft Works Communications (Powerbook) to transfer over FreePPP and iCab. (Had this Powerbook not had OS 8 which includes a TCP/IP stack, I would have used MacTCP.)
- Configured TCP/IP with an IP address local to my network (in this case, 192.168.1.245). Used OpenDNS IP addresses for the DNS.
- Configured FreePPP to use the Serial/Printer port, in lieu of the Powerbook's modem. Left the phone number field empty. Set the baudrate to max (230400).
- Run the following with root privileges on the iMac:
- sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 (tell the Kernel we want to forward IP packets)
- pppd 230400 tty.KeySerial1 local persist passive maxfail 0 proxyarp 192.168.1.102:192.168.1.245 (all on one line - activate the PPP daemon at 230400, using the KeySpan's #1 serial port, don't use modem control lines, persistent connection, don't dump out if the peer isn't there, ditto, add to ARP table so other networked machines can see it, Ip address of the iMac:Ip address of the Powerbook)
- Pressed "connect" on FreePPP.

My BASH script work perfect when i run it manualy, but not when it run in the crontab
I am Cuban
Sorry by language bugs.
I am run an script bash manually an d it run perfectly.
I copy my script into the directory /etc/cron.daily and i programing the crontab to run everything into the cron.daily directory and the script run withow problems but the result it`s wrong.
To be more especific:
My script do a copy of a file; I run it manually and the file copied good with the same size. When the script run by crontab the file that i have copied has 0kb.
Any subjection?
The usual problem when scripts run at the command line but not from cron is that they rely on $PATH and cron sets a very basic $PATH.
Try setting $PATH in the script, for example
export PATH='/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin'
the solution don`t works any other subjection?
Help me please!!!
Your solution dont work my friend. do you have any other subjection.
set up your crontab so that the output of your script goes into some text file. for instance, my backup cron entry looks like this:
30 4 * * * php /var/www/cron/data_backup.php > /var/www/cron/data_backup.log
like catkin said, the biggest difference between running a script via cron versus command-line is the path. another possible issue is permissions. when you run something from command line, it executes as whatever user you are logged in as. the cron job could be a different user depending on how you set it up.
Make sure to use the whole path to all the commands and files in the script.
Assuming it's a bash script, try changing the first line to
#!/bin/bash -l
sneakyimp's suggestion is good and may give useful information. Try it with 2>&1 at the end of the line, too. That may catch some error messages that > some_file alone does not.
Dont work
Every that you tell me is already ok, and the problem continue.
Is someone have any other solution.
I found the problem
I found the possible problem:
I run a pg_dump on a PostgreSQL Data Base.
In that line is the problem.
I probed the line in a SHELL manually and work ok but not in the script.
Any Subjections???
Please I need Help!!!
Are you getting anything in the output file named after > in the crontab?
If so then you can add lines like
echo "DEBUG $LINENO"
I'm wondering if he gets prompted for a password when running via CLI. the cron user may not have permission to dump the db.
This are the lines that are wrong
1- /usr/bin/pg_dump --host $hostName --port $port --username $userName --format tar --compress $compressLevel --file "/tmp/OBDBdump-$today-$now.db" openbravo
2- /usr/bin/pg_dump -i -h $hostName -p $port -U $userName -F c -b -v -f "/tmp/OBDBdump-$today-$now.db" openbravo
both work ok manually, but not in the crontab
Is anyone there?
Please Help Me!!!
Did you try outputting the result of those lines to a file? If there are any errors, they would be written to the file so you could see the problem.
Also, you have not showed us your crontab. Is this crontab created for the same user that you login as when you run the commands from the command line?

[Plugin: Thesis OpenHook] OpenHook creating huge core dump files?
Ive been noticing very large core. dump files (74MB each) in my public_html folder. On discussing with the hosting company, they say the issue is caused by the thesis open hook script.
This is what they said:
The trace is indicating that the application was killed with a signal 11 which means that it attempted to access memory that was non-accessible, this is normally caused when a script is attempting to use to more memory than alloted.
The application wrote the dump file after php crashed and reported the error to your error_log.
[20-Jul-2010 13:37:39] PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 62914560) (tried to allocate 40961 bytes) in /home/arjwiz/public_html/wp-content/plugins/thesis-openhook/functions.php on line 1065

If there is a way to figure out what exactly is causing the dumps, or how to recreate it, it would be great, since I am sure a lot of people would be inadvertently affected by this.

Humans, like most other animals, like to stake out territory, which they believe to be "mine". Hence, my house or my country. If others infringe on this territory, the fight or flight instinct is invoked. If someone kicks in your front door and starts packing up your tv, you either run or fight back. If one country marches into another, the invaded country either surrenders or fights back.
Wars are the natural result of human nature and for that reason, there will always be wars. Unfortunately, the modern state of weapons makes war risky to the entire human population.

The 1929 Spanish-style, four-bedroom home, chicly outfitted into a sleek and cozy modern bungalow with the help of Consort Design, channels a clever juxtaposition of effortless California cool and luxe sophistication.
"I gravitate toward open, spacious homes," Dobrev told mydomaine.com. "Light and bright is my favorite aesthetic. Maintaining the original character and history of the space was important." There's a original crown molding and dramatic arches adorn the living room, flush with natural light and complemented by organic materiality in the way of soft hued linens and warm woods. "A house has a soul and a journey. I'm just a small step and a passenger on the path of this home. It has good energy. You can feel that people have lived here. There is a Zen vibe. "

JPMorgan Chase, which got $25 billion in TARP money, is going ahead with plans to buy two luxury corporate jets and build a state of the art airplane hangar to house them, according to ABC News. A spokesman for the bank says no TARP money will be used to make payments on jets or hangars. Are you people that clueless? THAT IS NOT THE POINT.
JPMorgan's plan calls for the $18 million renovation of a hangar at the Westchester Airport outside New York City. Westchester Country holds a public hearing on it tonight.
The bank's architects say it'll be the "premier corporate aircraft hanger on the eastern seaboard," built with reclaimed wood, quarry tile and even a "vegetated roof garden." In other words, it's a green building. That's nice. Give back every cent of the green you took from taxpayers and you can have your environmentally-friendly hangar.
The jets are Gulfstream 650's that cost $60 million each. The manufacturer describes them as the "fastest," "widest" and "most comfortable" private jet ever.
I'm speechless. But as Vanity Fair points out, it's time to turn the populist anger into action. It's time to form a commission, like the Pecora Commission of the 1930's, to sort out who did what and to make heads roll.
From Vanity Fair:
When the governors of the New York Stock Exchange refused to send a questionnaire to its 1,375 members that Pecora wanted filled out, he threatened to subpoena every last one of them...
Pecora began at the top and worked down. He questioned J. P. Morgan Jr., the son of the legendary financier and one of the wealthiest men on earth, and got him to admit that he hadn't paid income tax the two previous years.
And all these decades later, his company is still trying to fleece the people.

NICKEL has closed considerably higher on the London Metal Exchange (LME), extending a strong price surge on the back of global supply concerns.
"Commodities are generally higher this Monday as geo-political tensions related to east Ukraine have provided a lift," noted Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank.
Precious metal prices had also taken strength from the heightened geo-political risks.
At the close of open-outcry trading in the London ring, LME 3-month nickel was up 2.2 per cent from Friday's closing price at $US17,790 per metric ton.
LME copper stagnated, closing flat at $US6,665 per ton, while aluminium fell 0.1 per cent to $US1,882 per ton.
Year-to-date, nickel prices are up some 25 per cent.
The metal's rally has been driven by factors including a ban on exports of unprocessed ore by Indonesia, leading to weaker shipments, and tensions over Ukraine.
Indonesia is one of the biggest producers of high-quality ore and Russia's OAO Norilsk Nickel Metal and Metallurgical Co is the world's largest producer of the metal. Russia last year accounted for 12 per cent of the global nickel supply.
A day after threatening a full-scale military operation to drive pro-Russian militants out of a string of eastern Ukrainian cities, the country's acting president offered an apparent olive branch on Monday, saying he wasn't opposed to a countrywide referendum on possibly granting regions greater autonomy.

" Natural is beautiful but make up is glam ".
For the face I'm using the Dior Air flash. Eversince I used this product ,my face always have that airbrush look and it stays longer. I don't have to retouched my make up or even worry about my face becoming shiny at the end of the day. Most of all it's not cakey either , it gives me full coverage, it's hypo allergenic so that means you will not break out. I didn't and my skin is very super sensitive when it comes to foundation.The only con about this product, its pricey. But a little goes a long way.
For the golden smokey eye I'm using Urban Decay Naked 1- I love this palette because it's very versatile, you can create a lot of looks for this palette from everyday look to glam look
The palette I used on :
the crease- Naked
the inner half lid - Half Baked
outer half lid - Dark Horse
corner of the eye - Buck

Too Faced Natural Face - everything in one to achieve that natural face glow with precise highlighting and contouring, it makes your face slender.
On this palette I used :
Luminizer - on the bridge of the nose
bronzer - the sides of the nose
* both luminizer and bronzer gives an illusion of a slender nose
For the concealer, blush and bronzer :
I finished it up with pink matte lipstick. I love matte because they look so natural .

Premier natives have everything on the line
Sheedy and McIntyre's futures under scrutiny in face-off neither wanted
THIS is not where Tipperary thought they would be. Nor is it where Galway hoped to be but, deep down, they always knew it was likely that the last Sunday in July would see them booked in for All-Ireland quarter-final duty.
That's a fairly natural thought process when you're jousting for territory with Kilkenny. What Galway didn't expect was to be meeting Tipperary, who were hot pre-championship favourites to walk straight out of Munster and into the All-Ireland semi-final.
Galway have a good quarter-final record against Tipperary -- two wins in 2000 and 2005 -- but they would still have much preferred to be playing Cork tomorrow. Of course, their dream clash would have been with Antrim but that fell Cork's way.
Tipperary would have fancied Antrim too. Failing that, a rematch with Cork would have been preferable to Galway but it wasn't a possibility since they had already met in Munster.
The defeat by Cork was a major setback for Tipperary and, although they might not have realised it at the time, bad news for Galway too.
If Tipperary had followed Cork's path and lost to Waterford, they would now have the easier quarter-final against Antrim, while Galway would be playing Cork, assuming, as seems likely, that the Rebels beat Wexford and Offaly.
All of which goes to show that a ripple in late May can grow into a large swell two months later. Now, Tipperary and Galway, the second and third All-Ireland favourites at the start of the season, find themselves facing a wave that will sweep one of them away for this year at least.
It could have personal implications too for the losing manager. Liam Sheedy led Tipperary into the undisputed No 2 slot behind Kilkenny last September, close enough to the champions to suggest they were by far the best placed to end the five-in-a-row pursuit this year.
If, 11 months later, Tipperary were to fall at the third-last fence, having re-mounted after tipping over way out on the Munster circuit, Sheedy's tenure would come under scrutiny.
Tipperary can be an unforgiving county so losing their place in the queue behind Kilkenny would not sit well.
As for Galway, the county is dipped in such deep frustration that another big championship defeat would probably trigger the two-year exit hatch for management. Since Jarlath Cloonan finished a three-year stint in 1994, only Conor Hayes (2003-2006 inclusive) has survived as manager for longer than two years (Mattie Murphy's four years were in two separate spells), which scarcely augurs well for John McIntyre if Galway's run without a win in Croke Park extends to five years tomorrow.
It's ironic that the careers of two Tipperary men -- Sheedy and McIntyre -- may well be on the line in a game that will also define precisely where Tipp and Galway stand.
Assuming Cork beat Antrim, the winners of Galway v Tipperary will play Waterford in the All-Ireland semi-final -- that is a much more enticing prospect than a clash with Kilkenny.
Both Galway and Tipperary are firing confident flares into the sky in an effort to create the impression that, while their campaigns wobbled earlier on, they are back on track armed with crucial information that will strengthen their second coming.
But are they? Tipperary's implosion against Cork, who were subsequently proven to be less substantial than they appeared in Pairc Ui Chaoimh on May 30, came as a complete shock. And while Tipp have since beaten Wexford and Offaly, it still doesn't remove the doubts that arose after the Cork defeat.
Did Tipperary begin to believe their own hype after losing to Kilkenny last year?
In fairness to Sheedy, he never blamed the questionable penalty awarded to Kilkenny as an excuse, but elsewhere in the county there seemed to be a feeling that Tipperary's defeat was down to circumstances beyond their control.
That was accompanied by an automatic assumption that Tipperary were the undisputed No 2 and that Kilkenny were their only real obstacle this year.
It was dangerous territory and a whole series of landmines exploded on Leeside in the first round of the Munster championship.
Things that had been taken for granted suddenly weren't quite as clear anymore.
Padraic Maher, All Star full-back last year and tipped to retain the No 3 jersey for the next decade, returned to the half-back line after a disappointing league campaign and an even more difficult clash with Aisake O hAilpin.
The half-forward line continued to misfire; midfield hasn't been settled, so Sheedy has had a lot on his agenda over the past eight weeks. Whether everything has been corrected remains to be seen.
Galway had the best possible build-up to the championship, winning the league after losing just one game in the process. Ironically, the defeat was against Tipperary after a dismal second-half performance by Galway.
They led by 0-13 to 1-4 after 32 minutes but lost the remainder of the game by 1-13 to 0-1 in what was an embarrassing collapse.
Still, they recovered and went on to win the league, setting them up for their second tilt at the Leinster title. A big win over Wexford kept the script in order, but it was followed by two games against Offaly that re-opened old scars.
Offaly have made good progress under Joe Dooley but Galway should be taking them out, especially when they opened a decent lead and were facing 14 opponents in the drawn game. They eventually made it home by two points in the replay that was followed by claims that it was the ideal way of fine-tuning for the Kilkenny test.
It was anything but, and it was evident that Galway weren't as coherently constructed as people thought. Indeed, their performance against Kilkenny was a throwback to the dismal old days. They were beaten after 14 minutes when they trailed by seven points.
Yes, they staged a revival in the second quarter but once Kilkenny hit the front, they don't tend to get caught.
Galway managed just seven points in the second half (one from a free and three from subs) in what was a mere training gallop for Kilkenny. They won by seven points without going anywhere near the higher gears.
The disappointing aspect for Galway was their failure to really put it up to Kilkenny as they had done a year earlier. Instead, they had Damien Hayes, one of their best finishers, playing around midfield for much of the second half in what looked very much like a damage limitation exercise, as opposed to a positive initiative to try and win the game.
And why was Joe Canning played so far outfield in the first half? Any wonder Brian Cody looked so calm on the sideline.
Galway have had three weeks to address the various issues but, like Tipperary, they won't have any idea how successful the repair work has been until the pressure comes on tomorrow. Also, again like Tipperary, this is their last chance to rescue the season. They will argue that having won the league title and lost the Leinster final to Kilkenny, their overall campaign has been quite good, but now they must prove it by beating Tipperary.
The stakes are just as high for Tipperary. Lose tomorrow and it's very much a case of two steps forward (2009), three steps back (2010).
Galway v Tipperary in the quarter-final would not have been on managerial wish-lists but now Sheedy and McIntyre have to get on with it. They will bid each other the best of luck before tomorrow's game, knowing that by 5.30, one of them will have revived the season in a meaningful way while the other faces into uncertainty.
The same applies to both squads, because tomorrow's game will probably be the last for some of the losers. That's tough but it's also true. It should concentrate the minds and make for a fascinating encounter.

Irelia Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
The Ionians have developed some of the most breathtaking and deadly martial arts on all of Runeterra - just one manifestation of their pursuit of enlightenment. The most remarkable blade style to emerge, however, was the unusual byproduct of foreign intervention. Master Lito was a swordsman whose teachings were sought by ruling classes from nearly every city-state. His art was a highly-guarded secret, but it was said that swords would breathe in his grasp. He withered unexpectedly from a mysterious disease which baffled the brightest of Runeterran physicians. When he died, he left behind Zelos and Irelia, his son and daughter, and a truly unique weapon. Zelos became a sergeant in the Ionian military and left to seek assistance from Demacia immediately prior to Noxus' invasion of Ionia. Irelia, charged with the protection of their home until Zelos returned, was alone when the Noxian forces struck.
The Ionians fought admirably, but soon Ionian blood stained the land beneath the prints of foreign boots. At the Great Stand of the Placidium, Ionians prepared for surrender, but were inspired to maintain their resistance when the young Irelia lifted her father's enormous blade and pledged to hold until her brother returned. In the chaos of the ensuing fight, Irelia was cursed with dark Noxian Necromancy. As her life ebbed, Soraka, the Starchild, made a final attempt to anchor her fading soul. Unwilling to relinquish her home, Irelia rose at the brink of death, and her father's sword lifted in the air alongside her. Irelia rushed back to the fore, unfazed by the blade's sudden animation. The weapon danced around her effortlessly, cutting down Noxians as they gaped in horror. The decimated invaders were forced to retreat from the Placidium. Irelia was appointed Ionia's Captain of the Guard, and when the defense of her homeland moved to the Fields of Justice, so did she.
'The sword flourishes, as though painting with blood.'
- Taken from a Noxian Field Report
Greetings fellow league attendants.
My name is Andreas. I'm from Denmark, and I wanted to make this guide to give you an idea how I like to play my Irelia. As I said, this is my guide, my way to build her, and you are free to experiment and try out different strategies for yourself.
This guide will show you a fun way to play Irelia, without getting owned.
I hope you find my build satisfying and totally awesome!
Irelia Off-Tank
- I Always start with a , because of the armor, the HP, and the HP/5 sec. It's a great start item, cause of it's many functions, and great survive-ability-boost.
- Is a really nice item to Irelia, because of the tenacity, and the magicresist. It's also really good, because it stacks with her passive, that reduces the duration of stuns, slows, taunts, fears, snares, and roots for each nearby enemy champion.
A needed item for a good Irelia. This item makes her almost unstoppable. And in the tank situation it's very useful if you want to help your team as much as possible.
- Is Irelia's main-item, no matter what. I will normally grap a first, because of the insane damage-burst in your early-game. Then i will go for my , so i can get the slow-effect and hp from it fast. And then ya, ill go for my , if i cant effort buying full. will boost my damage and movementspeed, my chasing-abilities will increase remarkably. It will give me the extra HP, and the damage, and the proc from sheen. All these insane pre-items, loaded into a single item. And that's why its called "TRINITY" "FORCE".
- I'm now going for a , so i can stack some HP, it's a very nice item, and really works well with your , because it refunds mana, and it's cooldown refreshes. And then it's easy getting many minionkills. You will get loads of HP, and get fed on minions.
- This item is fantastic, but very underrated, but it fits very good in this build. Your attackdamage will now change so it is 200+, and it gives you critical strike chance, and armor to, and it makes a very nice off-tank item.
- Is one of my favorite items. It works very well combined with the movementspeed from the , so you can "kide" your enemies around the lanes. It gives you some armor and health, health regen and cooldown reduction.
got a fantastic passive, that slows your enemies if they hit on you. And then the activate, that slows your all enemies movementspeed and attackspeed in a range of 500, by 35%, and that's a very nice, and useful activate, as tank.
For I will then as my last item pick a , So i can get the protection from the passive, and then the HP, mana and magicresist, is very useful to.
Core items
Irelia Off-Tank
Shurelya's Reverie
Shurelya's Reverie - Nice because of the health, health regen, and mana regen. It got this insane active, and it is really unique as it says. You and your teammates will run 40% faster for 3 seconds.
- It's nice with the extra health and cooldown reduction, but not something I've chosen very often.
- Is a very nice item, because it's cheap, and it gives a nice amount of health, and reduces your cooldowns and then this healing effect thing, where all your healingeffects are increased.
- Works very well with and gives great health, and armor, a very useful item, and very fun to experiment with.
- A very useful item Vs. heavy AD team, or at least AD-carry's. And it will deliver really much damage back to the enemies. And as tank this item can turn the tide.
- Really nice item, if you are playing against heavy AP-team, or feel in a need to run even faster! And the of course the health regen is very nice to.
- Quite nice, but prefer this as a support item, but in some cases i have bought it.
Skill sequence
Bladesurge - Irelia dashes forward to strike her target. If it kills the target, Bladesurge's cooldown refreshes and refunds 35 Mana.
Irelia dashes forward to strike her target, dealing 20/50/80/110/140 (+) physical damage.
If it kills the target, Bladesurge's cooldown refreshes and refunds 35 Mana.
60/65/70/75/80 Mana
I use my to move fast forward charging my enemies, and killing them fast, and without any problems. I often use it to chase what ever is running away from me. If my is on cooldown, my will proc, and make me deal a really nice hit.
Hiten Style - Irelia is skilled in the art of Hiten, passively giving her physical attacks health restoration. Activating Hiten Style gives her basic attacks true damage for a short period.
Passive: Physical attacks restore 10/14/18/22/26 health.
Active: Irelia's basic attacks deal 15/30/45/60/75 true damage for 6 seconds.
40 Mana
I use to proc before attacking, so i have it on when i use . And then if i play against a armor-tank, its great to proc, because of the true-damage from it's activate. And then of course i'll use it to get my health back when it's low.
Equilibrium Strike - Irelia's attack balances the scales, dealing damage and slowing the target. However, if the target has a higher Health % than Irelia, then the blow stuns the target instead.
Irelia pierces her target, dealing 80/130/180/230/280 (+0.5) magic damage and slowing the target by 60% for 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 second(s).
If the target has a higher Health % than Irelia, she stuns the target for the duration instead.
50/55/60/65/70 Mana
This is my favorite spell because of the stun/slow on the ability. It's really useful, both if you chase, or just 1v1 a enemy. And if you are in trouble, you can just turn around and stun the enemy. I love this ability.
Transcendent Blades - Irelia summons 4 spirit blades that she can fling to deal physical damage and siphon life from enemies they pass through.
Irelia summons 4 spirit blades that she can fling to deal 80/120/160 (+ ) (+0.5) physical damage to enemies they pass through. She heals for 25% of the damage dealt against champions and 10% against minions.
100 Mana
I use to finish people, and it makes it possible for me to kill an enemy on low health, that have flashed away from me. And i use this ability as much as possible, cause of its really low cooldown.
Ionian Fervor - Reduces the duration of stuns, slows, taunts, fears, snares, and roots for each nearby enemy champion.
1 Champion: 10%
2 Champions: 25%
3 Champions: 40%
How i use my abilities
I start using my , to proc the , and get the extra true damage, from it's activate. Then i dash forward by using , so i can burst, slow and maybe even stun my enemy. If they are on low hp, i will finish them off with . If they aren't i could use it to harrash my enemies, or get their HP lower, so i maybe could finish them with one more rotation.
Summoner spells
Irelia DPS
I take so i can get away, or chase my enemies. I would probably use it to flash into range of , and then lay a furious attack at my enemy. Or maybe if I'm in trouble i could flash over a wall, or just away from my enemies.
And then i grap , and i'll use it to finish of my enemies, or limit my opponents, so they cant regen health from lifesteal. It's very useful when you play against ...
You could take
- Its also nice if you are playing against lifestealers, or just some foes with high attack-damage-output.
- Heal is not a spell i would use, but it's okay in the laning-phase, and if you are getting ganked by your turret, or a place where the enemy will be in trouble.
- Teleport could be okay, if you know that you will need to get around on the map fast. But not a very often chosen summonerspell.
- Ghost is very attractive with a That's what many people are using, but i don't think it's that flexible. I still prefer Flash.
Irelia Off-Tank
I take so i can get away, or chase my enemies. I would probably use it to flash into range of , and then lay a furious attack at my enemy. Or maybe if I'm in trouble i could flash over a wall, or just away from my enemies.
Then i take so i can "kide" the enemies around, chase then, and let the kills be easier for my teammates to catch up on. It's also great if you play against one with massive attack-damage-output. It makes it possible for your team to help you our, or you to help your teammate. like a real off-tank should do.
- Its not that needed as off-tank, but a okay spell, if you want some kills, or maybe just wants to remove healeffects from the enemy-team.
- Heal is not a spell i would use, but it's okay in the laning-phase, and if you are getting ganked by your turret, or a place where the enemy will be in trouble.
- Teleport could be okay, if you know that you will need to get around on the map fast. But not a very often chosen summonerspell.
- Ghost is very attractive with a That's what many people are using, but i don't think it's that flexible. I still prefer Flash.
Irelia Off-Tank
Her tank masteries is chosen to get max health and max armor and magicresist. This would help you very much early-game. And then i got the last points in offence, to increase my damage.
Irelia Off-Tank
As tank i have chosen flat health, and it will give about 126 extra health at lvl 1. And you have 430 if you just go without runes and items. But with and the runes, you will go to your lane with 676 health. And with your masteries you will have 700+.
I have also chosen to get some flat armor and magicresist, so i will have a better chance in the lane in the start of the game. At lvl 1 you will have about 15 armor and 30 magicresist without anything, but with and masteries, and your runes, you will have 30 + 13,42 (from runes) + 6 (from masteries) = 49. And you will have 8 (from runes) + 10 (from ) + 6 (from masteries) = 39 armor. So you are very hard to counter.
Damage 53
Health 700+
Mana 230
Move Speed 320
Armor 39
Spell Block 49
Team work
Irelia Off-Tank
It's your task as Irelia Off-Tank, to take all the damage. Stun, start teamfights, exhaust, and still deal a nice amount of damage to the enemy team. It's also your task to tank turrets and baron when it's possible for your team. And you actually have to be quite aggressive.
A very flexible damage and movementspeed

Udyr History
The mystics of Ionia delve into the deepest mysteries of Valoran, pioneering the most inner depths of spirituality. Their adepts are some of the most devout proponents of enlightenment and harmony...but as is always the case, there are those who follow a very different path. Born in a grassy clearing under a red moon, Udyr has always been compelled by the primal drive within him. His will was not untempered, simply undomesticated. As a boy, he toiled on his father's farm, but he felt a much deeper connection with the mustangs that would graze in the distant fields than with the townsfolk who would visit. Oftentimes he was dragged into the house at night with a swat and a scolding when his parents would find him sleeping beneath the stars.
On the day of his sixteenth birthday, Udyr bade his family farewell and struck a path to the east, determined to shed the trappings of ''civilized'' society. Freed of the shackles of cultural expectations, Udyr tapped into a well of inner ferocity he hadn't known before. His feral senses roiled to the surface and he let them overcome him. It was at this point in his life that Udyr truly lost his humanity. Poachers and travelers who entered his territory did so at terrible risk, and rarely managed to leave it.
A monk on a long journey passed through his woods one day, and Udyr decided to scare him, leaping from a nearby brush. The monk casually turned and redirected Udyr to one side. Udyr, enraged, tried time and time again to best him, but the monk was unassailable. When Udyr was exhausted, the monk wordlessly beckoned him to follow, and together they walked in silence to the Hirana Monastery. The monks there took him in, and taught him to harness and control his animalistic fury...most of the time.
Skill Sequence
- Tiger Stance: Activation - Udyr's next attack will deal a high amount of damage over 2 seconds, and Udyr's attack speed is increased for a few seconds. Persistent Effect - Udyr's attack speed is passively increased.
Persistent Effect: Increases attack speed by 20/25/30/35/40%.
Activation: Udyr's attack speed is increased by 15/20/25/30/35% and Udyr's first attack rends his target, dealing an extra 30/80/130/180/230 (+) magic damage over 2 seconds.
55/50/45/40/35 Mana
This is my main dps stance, because of the big damage burst :D!!
- Turtle Stance: Activation - Udyr gains a temporary shield that absorbs damage. Persistent Effect - Udyr's attacks cannot crit, but he restores his health and mana equivalent to a percentage of his damage dealt.
Persistent Effect: Udyr's attacks cannot crit, but he restores 12/14/16/18/20% of his damage as health and 9/10.5/12/13.5/15% of his damage as mana.
Activation: Udyr gains a temporary shield that absorbs 60/100/140/180/220 (+0.5) damage.
55/50/45/40/35 Mana
I'm using my this stance to gain my HP, by killing creeps and by going into the jungle, and its a pretty smart spell to use when you are trying to get the last hit on a enemy... :D!
- Bear Stance: Activation - Udyr gains a large movement speed increase for a short duration. Persistent Effect - Udyr's attacks stun his target for 1 second. This effect cannot occur on the same target for several seconds.
Persistent Effect: Udyr mauls his target with such force that they are stunned for 1 second. This effect cannot occur on the same target for 6 seconds.
Activation: Udyr gains 15/18/21/24/27% increased movement speed for 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 seconds.
55/50/45/40/35 Mana
Bear-stance is totally overpowered! it increases your runspeed and gives you this great stun! witch is exceptionally good when you are chasing ppl!
- Phoenix Stance: Activation - Udyr sends out pulsing waves of fire dealing damage to nearby foes for 5 seconds and has increased ability power and damage. Persistent Effect - Every third attack, Udyr engulfs enemies in front of him in flame.
Persistent Effect: Every third attack, Udyr engulfs enemies in front of him in flame, dealing 40/80/120 (+0.25) magic damage.
Activation: Udyr sends out pulsing waves of fire dealing 15/25/35 (+0.25) magic damage each second to nearby enemies for 5 seconds. In addition, Udyr's Ability Power is increased by 16/24/32 and his Attack Damage is increased by half of that amount.
55/50/45 Mana
I dont really use this stance because i'm going AD and not hybrid..
- Entering a stance grants Udyr 10% attack speed and 3% dodge for 5 seconds. This effect can stack.
It's a really good passive ability because of the AS, witch works really good with our tiger-stance :D!!!
Im building my items as a normal melee AD, Crit, AS fighter, because i want to keep it simple and insane... All the items i'm using is cool good items, witch dont need to be triggered, because i hate to trigger items, if i'm standing in a big teamfight i want to be good all the way through not only when i trigger my items..
I almost always go for a item in the start, because its very effective and a good way to start.. If you are getting FB with a laning Udyr you will be unstoppable.
Im going for the Berserker Greves because of the AS witch is very useful as Udyr tiger-stance, and bears-stance as well..
The reason why i go for so early in-game is because the crit combined with the AD and your tiger-stance is so overpowered that you already from the start of your game will pwn. Then i'm heading for my , and that's because of the AS and the crit, and ya, it's always insane with some AS and crit.. and then the runspeed is really good with your bear-stance I'm then going for Starks Fevor, because my teammates will love me, and i need the AS and the LS.. And now, for my favorite item in the whole game !!! !! :D Its a really good item, it deals okay damage, and got that slow in every attack, really a enjoyable item as Udyr, and totally insane combined with bear-stance.. My last item is , and it don't have to be your last item, you can put it in the build exactly where you want, but i buy it as the last item..
If you got something to say about my item-build write a comment instead of voting down, then i have a chance to make it better..
Core Items
Trinity Force is good because of the damage, and the "proc", and the runspeed, the atackspeed, and its actually okay nice, but dont get frozen mallet and Trinity at the same time, that would be waist.
Warmog's Armor is nice, but only because of the health, and its nice when you are against heavy damage.
Wriggle's Lantern is a okay item, but only if you want to farm minions, an dont have the money for anything better.
Youmuu's Ghostblade is a nice item, if you know how to proc it.
Masteries/Runes/Skill Sequence
My masteries and my runes is just some standard Runes and masteries, because it's made for people who doesn't have "anything.
But i have a good reason why my Skill Sequence is the way it is!
I'm starting with Bear-stance because i want my lane to get FB, and the stun and runspeed is really good!, and then i'm focusing on both tiger and bear-stance... finishing turtle instead of phoenix-stance.. I wont skill phoenix up, because i'm AD, and phoenix need a hybrid build..
If you are charging into ppl with bear-stance stunning them, and then go tiger-stance your enemy wont stand a chance... :D
Summoner Spells
I'm doing that, because i want to keep it simple, but of course you can pick some other Summoner Spells, but Ghost, Exhaust is the spells i recommend, because its the basic AD carry summoner-spells?
You could grap
Ignite could be useful, if you have the problem that your enemies always get away with low health, and of course its good against AD carry's with lifesteal
Teleport is useful you know your teammates, and are speaking to them. You cant really use it to anything else than ganks and protecting turrets, but there's always some people who prefer this summoner-spell
Flash could be a good summoner-spell as a "support" to your bearstance!
As laning Udyr your job is to stun the target the team wants you to, and then just make huge DPS and kill the enemy really fast... and when you have the frozen mallet the enemy can't flee!
Its also your job to take down dragon, and maybe if you are good enough solo Baron..
Pros / Cons
High amount of DMG!
Great chase abilities
Great solo champ
Great champ to setup ganks with!
Can be bad if not feeded, and hes very item-dependent.
You need some skills to play him?!
Last Words
I will end my guide by saying thanks for reading, and I hope you like it.. If you don't got a brilliant score just like that, you should take some more games. This build takes some practice to master, and you'll learn some good tactics of your own along the way.
GL & HF enjoy my build, and vote up please ;)

... Datça ...
Datca Travel Blog› entry 1 of 5 › view all entries
The sweet town Datça (pronounce like 'Dutcha') was our first stop during the road trip. We started from Bursa, one of the biggest cities in western Turkey (and the 1st capital of Ottoman Empire), and until getting Datça, we passed through Balıkesir, Manisa, İzmir, Aydın, Muğla and Marmaris.
Lets start with some wiki info about Datça. Datça is a peninsula which is have been believed that separates Aegean and Mediterrannean seas. In other words, The Datça peninsula provides a natural boundary between the Gulf of Gökova in the Aegean Sea to the north, and the Gulf of Hisarönü in the Mediterrannean sea to the south. Among 75 km from Marmaris to Datça, the road winds among trees and hills, opening onto lovely views over the blue expanse.
There is also a village a few kms away from the downtown which is called Eski Datça (Old Datça). You will walk and hang out in narrow streets between stone houses here. Also have a drink in the local cafe(s), or buy some local art and hand-crafts as souvenirs or gifts from local people.
The marina in downtown Datça offers you daily boat tours for the famous bays of the peninsula, and price is so cheap (Around 15 EU). Tours starts early in the morning and end before sunset.
If you wanna see some ancient ruins, Knidos is exactly the place of you. At the end of the peninsula (38 km away from Datça) stands the ancient Carian city of Knidos, described by Strabo as "a city that was built for the most beautiful goddesses, Aphrodite, on the most beautiful of peninsulas". Famous as a center of art and culture in the 4th century BC, the city has two harbours: one on the Aegean and the other one on the Mediterranean. The boat trips I mentioned above stops by the bay of Knidos for their passengers to explore the ruins.
To sum up, we stayed 3 nights here, and we liked the town. It was so calm and peaceful. I would like to go there again in the future.

Pizza Pasta in the Slow Cooker
Feeding my preschooler, Ginny, is a challenge on a good day. She is very picky and more than willing to go hungry if we don't feed her what she wants for dinner. I'm also willing to let her go hungry because I'm not a short-order cook. Thank you very much!
What drives me nuts is that one day she'll eat chicken strips or nuggets and love them. A few days later, she will say, "I don't like chicken, Mommy." I'll remind her that she liked it the other day, but there is no convincing her. She'll reassert with "No, Mommy. I don't like it at all." Even more frustrating is her unwillingness to even try something. She'll look at what's on the table and declare, "That's yucky. I don't like it." Then, we'll convince her to at least lick it. She'll say, "Oh, I like it." But will she eat it? Nope.
Luckily, there are a few foods that Ginny won't refuse (well, most of the time): pasta, pizza, white rice, ramen noodles, and pepperoni. When we plan our meals, we try to incorporate one of those foods, if we can. Well, at least 90% of our meals have one of those. My husband and I do like a bit more variety than our daughter. (Oh, and just so she isn't ignored, Grace is not picky like her sister and will eat what we give most of the time.)
This recipe for Pizza Pasta incorporates two of Ginny's food loves: pasta and pepperoni. At first, when she looked at it, she declared that she didn't like it. I replied, "But, Ginny, it has pepperoni!" Her eyes lit up, and she decided she would eat it.
I started by boiling a pound of rigatoni for 5 minutes then draining it. I love my pasta al dente and didn't want it mushy. Instead of cooking the pasta all the way, I stopped before it reached the al dente stage so it would maintain firmness after cooking for 4 hours in the slow cooker.
I pulled together the rest of my ingredients: 32-oz jar spaghetti sauce, 1 pound browned ground beef, 3 cups shredded mozzarella, 8 oz pepperoni slices, 4 oz can of sliced mushrooms, salt, cracked black pepper, and Italian seasoning.In my lined 5 quart slow cooker, I poured half a 32-oz jar of spaghetti sauce, followed by half the beef, half the mozzarella, half the pepperoni, and half the mushrooms. I sprinkled a dash of salt, pepper, and about a teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Then, I repeated with the remaining ingredients.
I put the cover on the slow cooker and allowed it to cook on low for 4 hours.
What I love about this recipe is how easy it is to make. It is not only great for the family, but would make the perfect dish for a potluck. Oh, and did I mention that both of my girls loved this? It was a hit. Well, it was until Ginny saw the meat was touching the pasta after eating half of the serving on her plate. Oh well. Maybe next time.
- 1 lb rigatoni
- 32 oz. jar spaghetti sauce
- 1 lb ground beef, browned
- 3 C. shredded mozzarella
- 8 oz. pepperoni slices
- 1 4 oz. can sliced mushrooms
- salt
- cracked black pepper
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Boil the rigatoni for 5 minutes then drain. Don't let it cook all the way if you want it to remain al dente when you eat the pasta.
- In the slow cooker, place half of each ingredient, in the following order: sauce, pasta, cheese, pepperoni, and mushrooms. Sprinkle a dash of salt, pepper, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
- Serve.

Why I Dismantled Success and Followed My Desire
by Bob Wilms Dec 22, 2015
Imagine this: You've got a successful job; better yet, you've got your own business. You have a condo overlooking the San Francisco Bay. You're living in the most expensive city in the U.S., and you're living well. Eating out at the best restaurants - those places they write about in the NY Times and appointed with Michelin stars (it took me years to realize this wasn't a subsidiary of the tire company). Beck plays at your gallery. You've met Richard Branson, Tony Fadell, and other members of the billionaire glitterati. Writers write about your business all over the country, and you can pretty much call on anyone in the city, anywhere, anytime, and get in through the door.
So where do you go from here? Make more money? Vacation on those picture-perfect islands, and swim with dolphins? Grow your business? Start another business? For what? To take more of those vacations? Buy more of those cars?
In my case, you do the opposite. You do exactly the opposite you had done up to the very minute you made the decision to change.
You sell the business, you rent out the condo, and stare into the void. Your contact list, your status, the prestige: ALL GONE. Safety, career planning, retirement plan: ALL up in smoke. You let go of the safety, you let go of the money. You stop making decisions based on calculations of risk vs reward, and you start moving towards desire. You start saying yes. You stop saying no. You lean into the things that are the scariest, and you learn to use that discomfort as electricity to propel your life into the unknown.
What is this insanity? Well, I have what I believe is a relatively sane response.
It doesn't make sense. And the truth is, it doesn't need to make sense. My Bikram instructor said in class today that your "mind can't serve two masters," and it's true. I had let my ego drive my decisions for my whole life, and it was time to let it go. It was time to stop hanging on to that last crumb of self-will, and give space for my intuition to take center stage.
And this is where I started living the life I wanted to live.
I remember the exact moment that sparked this transition. One morning I received a lengthy email from an artist firing us. My heart dropped. I felt light-headed and sick to my stomach. Our biggest star was now our biggest failure. I was embarrassed. I had just flown cross-country to spend a week driving all over California with this artist, and he was firing us.
It took a bombshell like this to wake up. The sensation washed over my whole body. I couldn't wiggle around it. I couldn't hide from it.
In real-time I saw my life flash by.
I saw how I had convinced myself over the last 10 years that life was as good as I could expect it. That this was it. That this job, this career, and this business were the best options I had. That if I quit I wouldn't have enough money. I had a-thousand-and-one excuses to keep me in that thing I hated the most.
I had convinced myself, and convinced myself, and convinced myself until I had beaten out any sense of purpose, any sense of knowing what I want. And I had been doing this for a very long time.
And so the back to the moment after I'd read that email; I walked into my business partner's office, and we started talking. I said, "I think I'm done. I don't think I can deal with this anymore."
And it was over. I was done. D O N E.
I had written resignation letters to my business partners before, and each time we got together to discuss, I would dissipate the anger and the frustration of knowing that I wasn't doing what I wanted. Eventually the emotion would pass and we'd move on, and each time the blowout happened again, the fallout would be worse. I would retreat to my apartment with a migraine, watch TV for hours, and fall asleep. Then I'd wake up at 3AM and start my version of Groundhog Day. Every day, rolling out of bed, half-dead, wondering how on earth I was going to get through another day. This was my life for 10 years, and it was no way to live!
This time was different. I held the space. I pushed through the fear of confrontation, and I leaned into the conversation without an agenda. I asked for 100% of what I wanted, and stayed in the conversation to negotiate through to a solution that benefitted all, not just me. Even when the emotions ran high, and we got into disagreements, I stayed connected. And after a few months, both sides got what they needed and we all remained friends. They got the business, and I got my life back.
Funny that the thing that made this possible was a practice called Orgasmic Meditation, or OM. Having spent 14 years practicing yoga, meditation, and Qi Gong, it was this practice of stroking a woman's clitoris that brought me to face my greatest fear: intimacy. It taught me to embrace sensation. To establish connection with other human beings, and nurture and build that connection. Where I used to run - and I had been running for years - I could now face my darkest feelings, stay engaged, and move through the scene one step at a time, never losing consciousness.
Now I fully experience life, and that's worth a lot more than all that other stuff I was getting good at collecting, money included.
So I'm starting all over again. Building brick by brick. This time it's a life I choose...and I'm grateful to be here.

InVivo Therapeutics, Geisinger Health System to Conduct Preclinical Study of Injectable Scaffold for Peripheral Nerve Injury For FDA Submission
Back and leg pain along with neck and arm pain arm amongst the top five most common reasons for physician visit worldwide. Patients with peripheral nerve compression often experience chronic pain, tingling and numbness in the extremities, and approximately 3,200,000 chronic pain injections are performed annually in the U.S. to treat these conditions. InVivo will leverage its SCI platform technology to provide time-released anti-inflammatory therapies to this estimated $15B annual market.
"Chronic peripheral nerve compression can have a devastating impact on an individuals quality of life and even impair ones ability to function on a day-to-day basis," said Dr. Jonathan Slotkin, a renowned expert in spinal cord injury treatment and director of spinal surgery and spinal cord injury research at Geisinger Health Systems Neurosciences Institute. "InVivos innovative technology platform has already demonstrated success in the treatment of traumatic spinal cord injury in several study models, and we look forward to examining how this latest technology performs in this new application."
The study will be conducted jointly in the Tapinos Lab of Molecular Neuroscience at the Weis Center for Research and the Slotkin Lab of Spinal Cord Injury Research at the Geisinger Clinics Neurosciences Institute. The endpoint of the study will be the effectiveness of using injectable hydrogels for the controlled release of drugs to alleviate chronic pain resulting from compression-induced peripheral nerve damage. The study will compare the resulting molecular and behavioral impact among rodents receiving the injectable scaffold with drug therapy, the injectable scaffold alone, injectable drug therapy alone and a control group receiving no injection.
"The Geisinger Neurosciences Institute is one of the premiere facilities in the country for the study of innovative diagnostic and treatment approaches to neurologic disorders," said Dr. Ed Wirth, InVivos chief science officer and one of the worlds foremost experts in spinal cord injury treatment and regenerative medicine. "We believe there is tremendous potential for our technology to treat other neurological conditions beyond spinal cord injury, and we are eager to move forward in bringing these therapies one step closer to broad market availability."
InVivo is currently awaiting FDA approval to commence the first human clinical study using its proprietary polymer scaffolding device to provide structural support to a damaged spinal cord to help prevent paralysis and improve recovery and prognosis for patients with acute spinal cord injury. The human study is expected to begin in 2012.

Patient motivation is a critical to the success of any adherence intervention. Without it, patients lack the energy or desire to follow through on recommended solutions. Here are 6 reasons to make Motivational Interviewing a cornerstone of adherence improvement.
Patient Motivation Is Pivotal
My last post described patient motivation as the 'fuel' needed to drive an 'adherence improvement engine' (see here for the full story). Without this 'fuel', adherence improvement plans may never really have a chance.
Lack of motivation has always been recognized as a factor in non-adherence. However, the 'fuel' analogy throws into sharper focus just how important a factor motivation can be. It's like a veto, with the power to negate any plan a HCP puts together to improve adherence.
So patient motivation should always be a front-of-mind for concern in non-adherent patients. And if motivation is poor, it needs to be addressed before tackling any other factors contributing to non-adherence.
And one way to build motivation is through the use of the Motivational Interviewing.
Motivational Interviewing: The Headlines
As a quick introduction, Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative counseling style that uses special techniques to strengthen a person's own motivation and commitment for changing their behavior. It's an established approach for addressing substance use disorders and has successfully been used to address motivation-related adherence issues.
Further information about Motivational Interviewing can be found here.
Motivational Interviewing: Reasons to Make It an Adherence Cornerstone
Here are 6 reasons for HCPs to use Motivational Interviewing (MI) as an early and fundamental part of plans to address non-adherence.
1. MI Works!
Motivational Interviewing has been the subject of two meta-analysis/review publications (see here and here). The first reviewed and analyzed results from 72 randomized, controlled trials and found MI had a significant and clinically relevant effect in 74% of these studies. The second publication focused just on the impact of MI on medication adherence. It reviewed and analyzed results from 26 studies (5216 patients) and found an effect size of 0.34 (p<0.001).
2. MI Is Widely Applicable
The techniques of Motivational Interviewing are broadly applicable across different patient types and different conditions. Unlike other narrower, more focused adherence solutions, its effectiveness is not tied to specific patient reasons for non-adherence.
3. MI Helps Assess Patient Motivation
Motivational Interviewing techniques allow HCPs to quickly assess a patient's motivation level. If poor, MI-based conversation helps the patient discover internal motivations to adopt adherent behaviors. These internal motivations may then make the patient more willing to follow the HCP's recommendations for other adherence support solutions.
4. MI Has Sustainable Effects
Motivational Interviewing elicits a patient's own motivation to adhere. Because motivation comes from within, it has a higher prospect of being sustained by the patient. Especially if MI techniques continue to be the centerpiece of regular doctor-patient conversations.
5. MI Can Be Delivered in Small Bites
Motivational Interviewing techniques can be easily included into routine patient conversations. Indeed, several studies have shown adherence benefits based on individual MI-based discussions lasting between 5 to 15 minutes (see here, here, and here).
6. Bonus Reason: MI Provides a Long-Term Skill Enhancements
Motivational Interviewing has wider applications than just adherence improvement. Clinical interviewing competency has for the longest time been a key HCP skill. With the increasing move to patient-centered care and shared decision-making, the need to improve and expand these skills has grown ever more important. Training in MI provides HCPs with significant additional skills that will help them better navigate the new requirements of patient conversations. Skills that will remain of value over the longer-term. Indeed, MI is increasingly recognized as a valuable skills asset (see here for an article on Aetna's investment in MI).
Disclaimer: Just in case you're wondering; no, I don't have any vested interest in MI. All of the above is simply based on my extensive reading of adherence-related subject matter.

"The new face of Tajik television is the anchor Zarrina Rakhmonova. She is 16, one of the seven daughters of the Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon," said Khudzhanazari Aminien, the head of TV Tajikistan's news service.
The president's daughter is presenting a daily news slot in English on Channel One over the summer, the news chief said, adding that the Tajik channel broadcasts abroad on satellite.
She will not be paid for her work, he said. "Zarrina is trying to get work experience."
Her work will last two months, Mr Aminien said.
President Rakhmon has headed Tajikistan, the poorest of the former Soviet republics, since 1992. He has nine children, two of whom occupy political posts.
His eldest daughter, Ozoda Rakhmonova, serves as deputy foreign minister, while his son Rustam, 23, was elected as a deputy for a district of Dushanbe in February this year.
President Rakhmon changed his surname from Russian-sounding Rakhmonov, but some of his children kept their original Russian-style surnames.
In neighbouring Uzbekistan, President Islam Karimov's daughter Gulnara Karimova serves as the country's ambassador to Spain as well as performing as a pop star, whose songs are rotated on state television.
