"Why did you choose this product?"
I debated & debated, but I am glad I did. This one is so much prettier in person. The photo looks a bit darker gold, but in reality it is just perfectly gold.

This was one of my best purchases on overstock and I've been a club o member for maybe 9 years....

Great quality
This rug is very nice and large. Great for a living room that has lots of traction. I have had it for several months, with people constantly walking on it and has no dirt marks (visible to the eyes, at least)Read More
Area Rug Manager
We purchased rug for a customer as a replacement instead of cleaning. the rug is like Berber carpet it snags very easy with pets and urine gets trapped in the rubber backing. also rubber breaks down. not a good choice for some one with pets or a lot of traffic. also you have to remember this is a disposable rug like a bath mat it will wear out.Read More

Not Yellow, but Gold!
This product initially disappointed me. I was looking for a gray and yellow area rug for my living room. When it arrived my stomach dropped. the rug was not yellow, but gold. I toyed with sending the rug back, but decided that the price point was right and several friends loved it and thought it blended very nicely in my home. Ironically, when I went looking on the Overstock site while considering my return, I discovered that the 5x8 of this rug is actually listed as GOLD. Shame on you Overstock for not being consistent in the description of your products.Read More
colors didn't meet expectations
The quality of the rug seemed decent, but the colors did not match the picture at all. The white is pure white, the gray is light grey with green undertones, and the yellow has orange tones in it. It might work for some people but it clashed with everything in my room. The customer service was great and I was able to return it easily.Read More
color not accurate
the yellow is a goldish/tannish yellow. darker than in the picture. the grey is a greenish-grey, also not what appears in the picture. the rug itself is a very nice quality and a great price, but the colors of the rug are not as they appear on the screen.Read More
Awesome rug
Love this in my living room- the yellow is more of a gold which goes great there, and it's an excellent value for the money.Read More
Lots of compliments
It's hard to find a cheap rug that is 8x10. Other viewers are correct, the yellow is more of a gold. I was also add that the grey has the smallest blue tinge.Read More
Questions & Answers
"What is the backing made of? Latex or rubber? Is it true that latex rug backings are toxic and therefore rubber is better? Is nylon considered to have lower VOC? Is this rug mold-resistant? Thanks!"
Hi nebulaenebulae, The backing is an action back. It is a blend of natural and synthetic rubber latex. The latex backing is not toxic or harmful. There is a small minority of individuals that are allergic to rubber or latex. This product family has been tested and found to be low VOC as determined by the Green Label Plus certification program. We do not make the claim that the rug is "mold resistant" but the components of the rug do not generate mold. The likely cause of mold in a rug would be water damage (mold in the water) or dirt and particles that are not cleaned from the rug. Thanks for your interest, hope this helps!

Ellen DeGeneres Steals the Show at Daytime Emmys
Ellen DeGeneres stole the show at last night's Daytime Emmys, winning the Best Talk Show Host award for the third year running.
After picking up her first prize–the comedienne's show also won the Best Talk Show award–DeGeneres praised presenter Rosie O'Donnell, who quit talk show The View after a bust-up with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
She said, "I liked what she did. This was the year she should have won. I wanted to acknowledge Rosie because she has done a lot."
Other winners included the newly retired Bob Barker for Best Game Show Host.
The Best Soap Award was split between two nominees for the first time ever–after judges couldn't decide a winner from Guiding Light and The Young and the Restless.
The Best Performer in a Children's Series category was also split–between Sesame Street's Oscar the Grouch and Elmo, played by Caroll Spinney and Kevin Clash.
Last night's ceremony took place at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre–the home of the Academy Awards.

Unearned Premium
What is 'Unearned Premium'
Unearned premium is the premium corresponding to the time period remaining on an insurance policy. Unearned premiums are proportionate to the unexpired portion of the insurance and appear as a liability on the insurer's balance sheet, since they would be paid back upon cancellation of the policy.
For example, at the end of the first year of a fully prepaid five-year insurance policy with insurance premiums of $2,000 per year, the insurer has earned a premium of $2,000 and has an unearned premium of $8,000.
BREAKING DOWN 'Unearned Premium'Unearned premiums are portions of premiums collected in advance by insurance companies and subject to return if a client ends coverage before the term covered by the premium is complete. An unearned premium may be returned when an insured item is declared a total loss and coverage is no longer required, or when the insurance provider cancels the coverage. For example, consider a client who paid an auto insurance premium one year in advance who experiences a complete destruction of his vehicle four months into the coverage period. The insurance company keeps one-third of the annual premium for coverage provided and returns the other two-thirds as unearned premium.
Provisions for Unearned Premium
Provisions in the insurance contract govern the terms for unearned premium. The provisions must follow regulations related to the area where the coverage is offered. A specific formula for calculating the amount of the unearned premium may be required.
Reasons for Not Returning Unearned Premium
In certain circumstances, an insurance company may not have to issue a refund for unearned premium. For example, if the policyholder has falsified information on the application for obtaining insurance coverage, the provider may not be required to refund any part of the earned or unearned premiums collected. Policies typically outline the conditions that must be met when applying for and receiving the unearned portion of a premium.
Insurance providers may not have to return a portion of unearned premium when a policyholder terminates the coverage for no given reason, or for reasons such as securing a similar policy with a different provider. It is best for the policyholder to wait until the coverage period of the last paid premium is close before switching insurance companies. However, if the insured can prove the provider did not honor the terms and conditions described in the provisions of the policy, any unused portion of the premium should be refunded.
Unearned Premium and Balance Sheet
Because canceling a policy may mean issuing a refund, unearned premiums appear as liabilities on an insurance company's balance sheet. For example, an insurance company receives $600 on January 27 for coverage from February 1 to July 31. As of January 31, the $600 has not been earned. The insurance company reports the $600 in its cash account and reports $600 as a current liability in its unearned premium revenue account. As the company earns the premium, the provider moves the amount earned from the liability account to a revenue account on its income statement.

As gun sales rise in the wake of Sunday's Orlando, Fla., massacre, the profile of who is buying the guns is a reminder that Americans' right to self-defense does not depend upon sexual orientation.
Mike Smith, a firearms instructor in Colorado Springs, Colo., is among those who have noticed a surge in gun sales to gay and lesbian Americans.
"I think right now because of what happened, people are looking for answers," Smith told KDVR-TV. "You walk into a gun shop and you expect to see people, frankly, who look like me. I think we forget we're a country of all people, not just people who fit that predetermined mold."
Advertisement - story continues below
George Horne, the owner of the Gun Room in Denver, said business is "three to four times what we normally have."
The Pink Pistols, a club for gay and lesbian gun owners, said it has seen its membership double this week.
TRENDING: 5-foot-Tall Farmer Nicknamed 'White Death' Was the Deadliest Sniper in History
"It's sad that we must consider such things, but when there are persons out there who mean us harm, we must find ways to protect ourselves within the law," club spokeswoman Gwendolyn Patton said in a statement.
She also noted that "just as one might have a designated driver who stays sober, one might have a designated carrier with a concealed-carry permit who goes armed and does not drink."
Advertisement - story continues below
The Pink Pistols oppose gun restrictions.
"At such a time of tragedy, let us not reach for the low-hanging fruit of blaming the killer's guns," Patton's statement said. "Let us stay focused on the fact that someone hated gay people so much they were ready to kill or injure so many. A human being did this. The human being's tools are unimportant when compared to the bleakness of that person's soul. I say again, GUNS did not do this. A human being did this, a dead human being. Our job now is not to demonize the man's tools, but to condemn his acts and work to prevent such acts in the future."
The Daily Wire noted that rainbow flags with the snake symbol from the Gadsden flag and "#ShootBack" popped up Wednesday at a post-Orlando gay rally in California.
"Looks like bible hugging redneck conservatives aren't the only people that believe in self defense," Andrew Mark Miller wrote on Young Conservatives. "This is obviously a good development and the more armed law abiding citizens we have in the country the better. That will clearly take a bite out of crime as well."

"Just think about how many lives could have been saved if people in that club had been armed. Definitely a step in the right direction," he wrote.

Everton have joined the race for Fenerbahce midfielder Ozan Tufan according to Fanatik.
The report claims that the Toffees are considering making a move for the Turkish intentional midfielder.
The Newcastle Cronical meanwhile recently reported that Manchester United have been scouting the Fenerbahce star over the past 12 months.
United were recently the bookmakers favourite to sign Ozan Tufan with Betstars pricing the Premier League outfit as overwhelming favourites at 15/8 to sign the 21-year-old.
Trading director of Betstars Ian Marmion confirmed that United are leading the race to sign the young midfielder.
"Ozan Tufan impressed for Turkey at Euro 2016 and it's no surprise that he's been the subject of much interest from several Premier League clubs," Marmion was quoted as saying by the Sport Review.
"After a flurry of bets in the last 24 hours, Manchester United have emerged as overwhelming 15/8 favourites to sign him."
Tufan is widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Turkish football and his Fenerbahce manager Vitor Pereira went as far as to describe him as a new Yaya Toure.
"He still has a lot to learn and that is my job but the world will soon have a central midfielder on the level of Yaya Toure on their hands," he said speaking on Sport Tv following Turkey's 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic.
Despite being linked with various Premier League clubs a source close to the player only recently revealed to Turkish-football.com that Fenerbahce do not want to sell Tufan over the summer.
It would take an offer in excess of €20 million for Fenerbahce to consider parting ways with the Turkish international midfielder.

Colombian President Honors Cuba's National Hero
Havana, July 17 (Prensa Latina) Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos paid tribute today to the Cuban National Hero Jose Marti in the Memorial of the Revolution Square, accompanied by the Deputy Foreign Minister Rogelio Sierra.
Later, Santos will hold official talks with his Cuban counterpart, Raul Castro.
On this same day, Santos, along with some 20 Colombian businessmen in the sectors of construction, packaging, agribusiness, food, electricity and electronics, engineering and services Oil, and energy and chemicals, participated in a Cuba-Colombia Business Forum held at the National Hotel of Cuba.
Likewise, Santos and his official delegation will attend in the afternoon in a tribute to the Nobel Prize in Literature (1982) Gabriel Garcia Marquez in the Palace of Marquis of Arcos located in Old Havana, according to a press release from the Colombian government.
Cuba and Colombia reestablished diplomatic relations definitively on October 28, 1993, after several breaking-off: in 1961, due to the isolation policy to the Cuban Revolution, and in 1981, under Alberto Lleras´s term.
At present, both nations hold a friendly exchange of mutual respect, in which he stressed the role of Cuba as guarantor and venue of the Conversation Talks between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-People's Army (FARC-EP), in order to reach the signing of the Final Peace Agreement in that nation.

What is color temperature?
Light is not always what it seems. Our eyes are very forgiving, so when we move from place to place everything seems normal in terms of color. So, for example, when moving from a bright daylight environment to a room lit by a candle all that will appear to change, to the naked eye, is the light level.
Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography,videography, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics,horticulture, and other fields.
Color temperature is typically recorded in Kelvin, the unit of absolute temperature. The scale ranges from the flame of a candle at around 1900K to deep blue sky at around 10,000k as illustrated by this diagram. Cool colors like blue and white generally have color temperatures over 7000K, while warmer colors like red and orange lie around the 2000K mark. Colour control filters are broadly split up into two categories: colour conversion and light balancing filters. The strong colour conversion filters are in the 80 and 85 series and are used for large colour changes while weaker lighting balance filters fit in the 81 and 82 series and are used for making small colour adjustments.
The requirements for color temperature differ a lot in different industries. As for lighting building interiors, it is often important to take into account the color temperature of illumination. For example, a warmer (i.e., lower color temperature) light is often used in public areas to promote relaxation, while a cooler (higher color temperature) light is used to enhance concentration in offices.

Divine Silence
. . . Divine silence might just be an expression of God's preferred mode of interaction, and that we need not experience his silence as absence … if we live out our lives in the conviction that God is ever present with us, and if we seek something more like communion with God rather than just communication. [Michael Rea, Divine Hiddenness, Divine Silence].
Silencing our thoughts is not easy. Our intellect is always mumbling — muttering something, indistinctly yet loud enough to keeps us distracted, diverting us from the Divine.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "… whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should speak what is good or keep silent." [Sahih al-Bukhari].

Often we hear ourselves explaining to others what we, ourselves, don't really understand. Even more disgraceful is our intellectual efforts to convince ourselves of what we really don't believe.
A (person) may seem to be silent, but if his heart is condemning others he is babbling ceaselessly. But there may be another who talks from morning till night and yet he is truly silent; that is, he says nothing that is not profitable. [Abba Poemen, 27].
Immersed in our spiritual monologues and self-centered introspection, we forget what inner silence sounds like. Even while acknowledging our inability to comprehend, we continue quoting ourselves and rewording our shallow worldviews.
There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence. [John Calvin].
Divine Language
Humans have convinced themselves that the rational mode of expression is the highest form of communication. We reason that God should express Himself in our language of reason and logic. We even demand that He be available for examination and submit to our academic interrogation.
Hence, do not utter falsehoods by letting your tongues determine [at your own discretion], "This is lawful and that is forbidden," thus attributing your own lying inventions to God: for, behold, they who attribute their own lying inventions to God will never attain to a happy state! [Quran 16:116].
Prayer is not a conversation you can dominate or monopolize. We must come to God in submission as obedient servants, dedicated devotees and diligent students. The hallowed space we enter when we surrender our will to our Lord echoes the Divine silence.
Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being, between the silence of the world and the silence of God. When we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from God, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality. [Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude, p. 83].
Amplifying the Divine Silence
By silencing our thoughts, we amplify the Divine silence that calls us to spiritual attentiveness. Dissonant thoughts become infused with pious apprehension as we muffle our mind and quiet our desires.
There is hardly ever a complete silence in our soul. God is whispering to us well-nigh incessantly. Whenever the sounds of the world die out in the soul, or sink low, then we hear these whisperings of God. He is always whispering to us, only we do not always hear, because of the noise, hurry, and distraction which life causes as it rushes on. [Frederick W. Faber, Spiritual Conferences, p. 408].
In mystical terms, Divine silence does not refer to the absence of God's presence, nor to a silent or hidden God. It describes a sacred state which we cultivate to amplify our spiritual consciousness.
Divine silence is the medium in which communion is possible, it is the liquid in which our soul swims, the vacuum in which our spirit orbits.
We know well enough how to keep outward silence, and to hush our spoken words, but we know little of interior silence. It consists in hushing our idle, restless, wandering imagination, in quieting the promptings of our worldly minds, and in suppressing the crowd of unprofitable thoughts which excite and disturb the soul. [François Fénelon, Selections from Fénelon, p. 107].
When St. John of the Cross explains that "the knowledge of God is received in divine silence," [St. John of the Cross, Sayings of Light and Love, #26], he is not referring to the absence a response from God. He is describing the condition that prevails during Divine communion.
The spirit needs to be so free and so completely annihilated that any thought or meditation which the soul in this state might desire, or any pleasure to which it may conceive an attachment, would impede and disturb it and would introduce noise into the deep silence which it is meet that the soul should observe so that it may hear the deep and delicate voice of God which speaks to the heart in this secret place. [St. John of the Cross, Living Flame of Love, Stanza 3].
Tuned In to Divine Silence
"Tuned in," we respond to the signs of God by our conversion to Divine servitude, to holy obedience, to the natural order established by God and the essence of contemplative communion.
We need the prayers of words, yes; the words are the path to contemplation; but the deepest communion with God is beyond words, on the other side of silence. [Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water].
We have to listen carefully to hear the Divine silence. It is an intimate tranquility easily disturbed by the clamor of daily existence.
Immersed in Divine silence, we no longer hear clanging desires. Disengaged from profane phenomena, we are invited into the private chambers reserved for servants of God.
The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual; though the body has its share in it, even a large one. It is a caressing of love so sweet which now takes place between the soul and God, that I pray God of His goodness to make him experience it who may think that I am lying. [St. Teresa of Ávila, The Life of St. Teresa, p. 267].
Divine Frequency
Through the Divine silence that prevails in our longing heart, anxious thoughts become still and we begin to hear in accordance with the amplitude, pulse and frequency of Divine communion.
Real prayer is communion with God, so that there will be common thoughts between His mind and ours. What is needed is for Him to fill our hearts with His thoughts, and then His desires will become our desires flowing back to Him. [A.W. Pink, The Sovereignty of God].
These mystical moments of Divine silence are beyond our comprehension. However, when they recur, each is uniquely recognizable by the Divine signature that authenticates their broadcast.
This involuntary nature of the mystical experience highlights our submission, requiring that God remain our only path to true perception.
[God has said] … when I love him [devotee], then I shall be his ears with which he listens, his eyes with which he sees, his tongue with which he speaks, and his hands with which he holds; if he calls Me, I shall answer him, and if he asks Me, I shall give him. [al-Kulayni, Usul al-Kafi].

JEFFERSON TWP. - Supervisors during a Monday meeting passed a resolution to apply for a Keystone grant that would cover the costs of a plow truck and improvements in stormwater management.
The plow truck, which costs about $85,000 to $87,000, would serve as a replacement for one of the township's older trucks, Supervisor John Patterson said. The grant would also fund costs of improving stormwater management in sections of Jefferson Heights and Happy Acres. Also at Monday's meeting, supervisors approved a motion to have Kanton Realty Inc. perform a second appraisal of the planned township park at $1,800. The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which recently awarded the township a $30,000 grant, required the township to get second appraisal, officials said.

Gawker staff votes to unionize
We are unionized. It's not a phrase you hear very often anymore, but that is what the Gawker staff posted online this morning.
On Wednesday, the staff voted in a rather unusual way, bypassing the National Labor Relations Board with the full blessing of Gawker Media CEO Nick Denton.
The vote wasn't close: 80 votes YES, 27 votes NO.
"The next steps: determining what we want to bargain for; forming a bargaining committee; and negotiating a contract," the Gawker staff wrote.
One might think that the vote of a small staff of journalists at Gawker would not be a big deal, but anti-union forces saw it as nearly the end of the world.
Watchdog.org, an organ of the Franklin Center for Government & Public Integrity, a free market organization, said a vote to unionize would mean the staff would have to start paying a portion of Writers Guild of America, East CEO Lowell Peterson's $300,000 salary. Apparently, large salaries are a no-no in the world of free enterprise, who knew?
Anyway, my guess is that the sun will come up tomorrow.

In this case we are on board the Hype train and loving every minute of it. This show is violent, edge of your seat action, and set in a very interesting world. As the internet has pointed out this show has ties to Attack on Titan, this is true as some of the talent working on this project worked on Attack on Titan. Fear not AOT haters, I have friends who hated AOT that have fallen for Kabaneri, give it a shot you might like it. This is not a review or preview just a our humble recommendation.

Richard Bach Quotes About EarthQuotes about: Earth
We think, sometimes, there's not a dragon left. Not one brave knight, not a single princess gliding through secret forests... What a pleasure to be wrong. Princesses, knights, enchantments and dragons, mystery and adventure... not only are they here-and-now, they're all that ever lived on earth!
So much of what we said sounded crazy, yet none of it was false... as if two theoretical physicists stood on stage to say that when we travel near lightspeed, we get younger than nontravellers; that a mile of space next to the sun is differnt than a mile of space next to the earth because the sun-mile space is curved more than the the earth-mile. Silly ideas, worth the admission price in smiles, but they're true. Is high-energy physics interesting because it's true or because it's crazy?
Have you ever felt so at one with the world, with the universe, with everything that is, that you were overcome with love? That is reality. That is the truth. What we make of it is up to us, as the painting of the sunrise is up to the artist. In our world humanity has strayed from that love. It lives hatred and power struggles and manipulations of the earth itself for its own narrow reasons. Continue and no one will see the sunrise. The sunrise will always exist, of course, but people on earth will know nothing of it and finally even stories of its beauty will fade from our knowing.

A growing number of health care leaders are expressing concerns about a funding crisis in the NHS. For instance, in November 2015 the chair person of St George's Hospital Trust in London warned that the NHS faces "wide scale financial collapse" if the government does not provide at least a further £4 billion each year. Similarly, NHS Providers, the body that represents hospitals across England fears that the NHS is close to breaking point because of its escalating cash crisis as a result of years of underfunding. According to NHS Provider's Chief Executive,
And because the funding is 'front loaded' (i.e the amount is higher in the earlier years), the Director of Policy at the King's Fund has said
Similarly, in October 2016 members of the House of Commons Health Select Committee said that the NHS is "doomed to fail" without financial investment.
Findings from a 2016 study of 99 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) – around half of those in England – indicate the extent of the cutbacks that are planned over 18 months:
- one in three CCGs expect to close or downgrade Accident and Emergency departments,
- one in five expect to close consultant-led maternity services, forcing women in labour to travel further,
- more than half intend to close or downgrade community hospitals,
- 46 per cent are planning an overall reduction in inpatient NHS beds,
- one-quarter expect job cuts in hospitals, and
almost one-quarter expect to close inpatient paediatric departments. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/30/almost-half-of-nhs-authorities-to-cut-hospital-beds-and-third-to/)
Over the past 26 years the number of available hospital beds in England has more than halved, especially those for people with learning disabilities, mental illness and for the longer-term care of older people. Statistics from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development show that among 23 European countries, the UK has the second lowest number of hospital beds per capita – and this is before the bed closures that NHS England expects to see set out in the new footprints' STPs (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/30/almost-half-of-nhs-authorities-to-cut-hospital-beds-and-third-to/).
And even before these closures there has been an increase in intensity with which beds are used: occupancy rates for acute beds increased from 87.7 per cent in 2010/11 to 89.5 per cent in 2014/15. And, according to Freedom of Information requests, towards the end of 2016 there were some NHS Trusts where the occupancy rate was as high as 97 to 100%. The National Audit Office has suggested that hospitals with average bed occupancy rates above 85 per cent will have regular bed shortages, periodic bed crises and increased numbers of health care-acquired infections (https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/projects/nhs-in-a-nutshell/hospital-beds). The stress on staff will also be severe.
Bed crises have arisen in part from cuts in funding for social care, leaving vulnerable people, like the elderly, at risk. It's meant people are relying more and more on A & E departments, hospital admissions are increasing, and there are severe problems with discharging patients home: between April 2012 to July 2016 there has been a 70% increase in those unable to be discharged because of lack of support at home (http://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/sites/files/nuffield/publication/understanding_patient_flow_in_hospitals_webv3.pdf).
At the same time, despite of a growing need for residential care for an ageing population, the total number of beds in care homes fell by 19,490 over the years between 2010 and 2016. Many providers of care homes are pulling out of the sector because they can no longer make enough profit. Costs have increased because, e.g. of the introduction of the national living wage (NLW),while cash-strapped local councils can't pay providers higher fees. The Care Quality Commission is concerned that more and more home closures could leave needy, vulnerable older and disabled people with nowhere to go. (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/oct/11/elderly-and-disabled-people-put-at-risk-by-care-homes-closures)
With a deficit of over £2 billion forecast for NHS providers (e.g. Foundation and NHS Trusts) during 2015/16, NHS Improvement – the organisation that oversees service providers – is saying that the NHS is unaffordable. It is therefore asking providers to
- cut costs,
- fill only essential vacancies,
- reduce staffing levels
- adopt safe staffing guidance "appropriately and proportionately" (work on national guidance for safe staffing levels has already been stopped),
- transfer patients to where there is spare capacity, and
- consider the financial impact of managing waiting lists as well as patient experience (in other words, make patients wait longer in all but exceptional circumstances).
It seems that balancing the books is taking priority over staffing levels and patient safety (see http://keepournhspublic.com/blog/press-release-nhs-2-billion-in-the-red-and-rising/ and http://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/jan/29/hospitals-told-cut-staff-nhs-cash-crisis).
Some health leaders are also talking about the necessity in future to stop funding a wide list of procedures on the NHS, including hearing aids, cataract operations, vasectomies, and hip and knee replacements, if not withdrawing treatment from patients with 'unhealthy lifestyles' (https://www.opendemocracy.net/ournhs/caroline-molloy/nhs-cuts-are-we-in-it-together).
Repeatedly, the government's message is that managers are not to cut frontline services. But it has quickly become evident that many Trusts cannot find ways of reducing costs without cutbacks to patient services.
Following its Five Year Forward View, NHS England has required that the NHS in England is divided into 44 local health economies or 'footprints' each of which must produce a Sustainability and Transformation Plan that will restructure services and reduce costs. Many of these proposed Plans are expected to achieve savings by replacing health care professionals with less qualified staff. The Health Services Journal, for example, has collected data from a sample of one in four STPs suggesting that savings rely heavily on job cuts, with a 2.3 per cent fall in registered nurses, and a 1.6 per cent reduction in all jobs. Applied across England, it would mean reducations of around 17,300 staff in total, including 7,300 nurses, midwives and health visitors. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/01/16/7000-nurses-could-face-axe-secret-nhs-plans/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_tw

I recently listed a few pestilences of modern life in my diary.
(1) Corporate arrogance and technology in general… lack of customizability and options; the forced pace of progression (whether real or artificial). Products becoming obsolete long before they've actually broken down or outlived their usefulness. I can't afford to keep updating or subscribing to everything. Things aren't always matching up so that everything works together at the same time… like camera, different kinds of software, the hardware, scanner, printer… there's always something that's not able to use something else because it's too old. Everything and everybody is supposed to be seamlessly connected, but it's not working out that way. I'm starting to ask myself why I bother — I'd like to dump all of this stuff and just knit, tend my plants, watch a few DVDs and read paperbacks!
(2) Apps (and subscription software). Sometimes a project is interrupted (temporarily or permanently) because the way the app works changed in an update. It's not progress to have goal posts constantly moved or options taken away.
(3) Keeping everything in the cloud. Huge security risk. And what happens when we lose connection?
(4) An increasing number of ads. It's reached an impossible level. It doesn't help when a website doesn't let you zoom in on the text… their print is too small and my eyesight is not what it was.
(5) Increasing number of photos, podcasts and embedded videos. When an online news article is packed with them, you have to scroll cautiously to get past these obstacles to the next little dollop of text without losing your place… sometimes needing to scroll slightly back because something on the page changed and pushed all the text away. Some videos I'm able to watch, but a few aren't captioned, or are captioned poorly. It's frustrating when everyone's saying how great a video is, but you don't know what it's about.
For poorly captioned videos, I'm thinking mostly of YouTube type captions — automatic? I'd rather have them than nothing, but they are hard to follow because, for instance, 'Brexit' becomes 'breaks it' or 'breakfast', and UKIP becomes 'you kept'. I can barely remember what was said by the end, whereas I have a clearer grasp of content if I read an article or transcript. I don't know if others find the same? Possibly too much of my concentration is taken up with decoding the captions — it's as though there's a filter between me and the information.
Earlier tonight I found the following two articles, both of which are food for thought. They reminded me of the grumbles listed above. Life doesn't seem richer or smoother — instead it's becoming more frustrating and not a little frightening.
The Perils of Globalization: An Interview with Gerry Mander
The New Luddites: Why Former Digital Prophets Are Turning Against Tech
Play Runrig
Once I laboriously compiled a list of my ten favourite Runrig songs… it involved playing every song of theirs that I had and adjusting my list till I was happy. That's the beauty of top tens!
I was a member of the Runrig fan club until the club HQ had a fire in Aberdeen and lost some of their records. Rumours abounded… I still know nothing of what happened there. I continued to receive newsletters, I think, which was how I knew, but decided to let the subscription go… probably had all I wanted from the newsletters. I've never been a concert-goer and it seemed to be mostly a publication for those who were interested in that, but I bought at least one Runrig tape (Play Gaelic: the first 'legendary' recordings) and a couple of concert videos before bowing out.
It was the club who asked fans for their top ten Runrig songs, and just now I was wondering which I said… I don't think my list influenced the final results much; I was disappointed when they weren't word for word my own choice. 😉 Tsk! Ruined by all these other terrible fans writing in with their inconsequential favourites! None of the old Gaelic songs, for instance, if I remember right. They were somewhat looked down upon but I thought they were beautiful. Chi mi'n Geamhradh (I See the Winter) made it to my top ten. I found (for the first time) a translation… here. (There are a number of songs on the page, do a search for 'winter'!) An alternative translation on another site is a little bit different, it says 'mists' instead of 'city'.
Knowing my squirrel habits, I know I kept that list… somewhere. The distant voice in my mind (the continuity part of me) is even telling me where.
Shurrup. I'm going to bed.
Digging Deep for Clues in Higher Ground
I've not been thinking all that much about music or playing it at all recently, but looking through those boxes of old things… most of all that letter… seemed to set my mind very much on a different track. It's still as though I'm viewing something done or written by somebody else, but there's a small corner of my mind that says "yes, I remember that." It was hanging about when I knew which items those old invoices detailed before I even looked, and sometimes explained things I didn't remember at all… or didn't think I did. "Yes, I know why this packet of postcards is here; you had them in an album and decided it was taking up too much room… so you took them all out and put them in boxes. And that pretty but pale greetings card of a white sea unicorn swimming in sea breakers (by Jan Brett) was a particular favourite of yours and you put it in a cheap and ugly old frame, which you eventually got rid of as it was just annoying you. But you kept the card. And here it is. Amongst the old postcards."
Oh. I'm still me, then.
"Yes," said the tiny, faraway voice. "And when you wrote that letter or filed those things, you probably had the hi-fi on. You would listen to things like UB40."
Which was why I suddenly jumped up and put a UB40 CD on… I couldn't bear the silence any longer. That isn't me any more. I used to be full of life, sound and movement. I talked and wrote letters to other people and did things. And I'm still that person… suddenly I felt happier and more connected.
And every hour of every day
I'm learning more
The more I learn, the less I know
About before!
The less I know, the more I want to
Look around…
Digging deep for clues in higher ground
The fishes swim while rivers run
Through fields to feast my eyes upon
Intoxicated drinking from
The loving cup of burning sun
In dreams I'll crave familiar taste
Of whispered rain on weary face
Of kisses sweet and warm embrace
Another time, another place
(from UB40's Higher Ground)

To reverse the Falcon's recent sales slide, Ford is offering dealers a $1000 bonus if they register Series I BA Falcons before January 1 - but even sharper deals can be found.
Peter Warren at Warwick Farm has 2003-built Falcon XT Series I sedans for $26,990 drive-away - a saving of $11,500. Pay another $3000 for 2004 Series I models - at $29,990 drive-away, they represent a saving of $8500.
Only three colours are available: venom red and two metallics, harvest green and luscious burgundy, both of which are $355 extra. All come with a five-year/100,000km factory warranty.
The Falcon is powered by a 4.0-litre six-cylinder engine. Standard equipment includes dual airbags, anti-lock brakes, air-conditioning, CD player, remote central locking and power front windows.
Other items include a driver's seat with power-adjustable height and tilt adjustment, front seat belt tensioners, a trip computer and a 60/40 split rear seat.
Falcon sedan sales to the end of November 2004 trail those of the Holden Commodore by more than 13,000, a similar figure to this time last year. Sales of both large cars are running about 7000 units down on the same period last year, according to official figures.
Overall, large car sales for the first 11 months are down by nearly 11 percent, however, the traditional arch-rivals remain the nation's biggest selling models.
Ford concedes that one of the reasons for the lower Falcon sales this year is substitution by its relatively new Territory two and all-wheel-drive.

Cabo-Style Observing
Jack Kramer and Greg Lutes
In early April this year, we took a vacation trip, along with our wives, to Cabo San Lucas at the tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula. Since Cabo is around latitude +23o, this afforded an opportunity to view some far-southern celestial objects that are inaccessible from up north here, and even from the latitude where we normally go for the club's annual observing trip to the Southwest. Greg brought along his 6" Maksutov-Cassegrain scope and Jack brought a heavy-duty camera tripod for the telescope and binoculars. We also prepared ourselves with a current Southern Hemisphere star chart in S&T and some latitude-specific printouts from planetarium programs. So after days of fun in the sun, we were prepared for some time under the stars.
One concern was where we could set up the telescope so as to be away from the glare of all the lights in the area. It turned out that the solution was to get above the lights. The resort where we were staying had a veranda on the seventh floor roof with gym equipment and a jacuzzi. Normally this was closed after 7 PM, but the resort people agreed to open it up each night for us. This wasn't a totally dark site, but at least we were above the lights...and it was certainly convenient. In addition, the fact that we were seven floors up allowed a better vantage point for seeing above the hills to the south.
At least once we had to try something really degenerate - observing while enjoying the luxury of the jacuzzi. Taking the telescope into the jacuzzi was out of the question, but in the photo below, Greg is using binoculars to observe M42 in Orion.
On a more serious note, our telescopic search concentrated on the far-southern sky. The days were always sunny, but at night there was a persistent band of haze in the southern sky over the ocean, right were we wanted to observe. So we made the most of the situation and looked as far south as possible. On several nights we did observe Omega Centauri, the huge globular cluster in Centaurus. There was one night that was clear right to the horizon, and this gave us the best view of the Southern Cross. We also picked up some brilliant open clusters: NGC 2516 and IC 2602 in Carina, and NGC 4755, the "Jewel Box Cluster" in Crux. The bright navigation star Canopus just brushed the hilltops to the southwest, and as it set, it seemed to be following the slope of a large hill on the Pacific side of the cape. We watched it disappear, then moved about 20 feet to see it reappear then set again. We moved several times until we ran out of floor space on the hotel veranda. And to top things off, we saw several bright, slow members of the Virginid meteor shower. What a vacation trip!Published in the May 2003 issue of the NightTimes

Starting and growing a medical practice requires careful planning and preparation, countless hours, and thousands of dollars. All of your hard work and decisions can easily be wiped out if you don't protect yourself and your practice. The following statistics show how easily you could be affected:
As a physician, you know the importance of treating your patients individually to meet their specific needs. When it comes to insuring your business, you want the same individual attention.

That's precisely what CMIC Group offers through its MEDICAL OFFICE INSURANCE PROGRAM. Here are a few of the coverages we offer:

Corona, California (October 27, 2016) - If past performances can be a guide to the future it's safe to say Matthew Hicks isn't the least bit upset that the Lucas Oil Modified Series championship will be decided at Havasu 95 Speedway.
Madera, California (October 8, 2016) – Dylan Cappello got even with LoanMart Madera Speedway Saturday night (October 8).
Corona, California (October 5, 2016) - The Lucas Oil Modified Series makes its second appearance of the season at LoanMart Madera Speedway Saturday night (October 8) and there are plots and sub-plots in abundance for what may be the pivotal race of the season.

Bakersfield, California (September 18, 2016) - A couple of nights ago, while the Lucas Oil Modifieds warmed up for their return to Kern County Raceway Park, Travis Thirkettle talked about how nice it was to be somewhere he'd raced before. That meant he wouldn't have to use two or three of the limited practice sessions getting familiar with the track and instead could work on getting ready for the race.
Corona, California (September 15, 2016) - This weekend, the drivers and teams in the Lucas Oil Modified Series presented by LoanMart definitely will feel the need for speed.

Is the matter frozen energy?There is a mass-energy equivalence that leads to a common ignorant like me to think that the matter is made of energy. Besides, the temperature in the vacuum is near to cero, so, is it in the space between the molecules? Is it between subatomic particles? Or is too stupid what I'm saying?
I believe this is a quote by Albert Einstein, but dont quote me on that. Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.~Albert Einstein
I agree with my buddy, Al.

After being awake since 4am, perhaps the last thing I should have done was go to a gig that would involve me getting home at almost 3am, but considering Insomnium were going to be playing their Winter's Gate album in full at the show, it would have been silly to pass up on what was destined to be a great night.
Opening up the show was Wolfheart, a band I've seen twice already overseas (with Swallow The Sun in Germany and at last year's Nummirock) so it was nice to be able to see them on home soil for a change, and it was the best performance I've seen from them to date. The band got the night off to a great start and what was especially good was that there was a good chunk of the crowd that was really into them, singing along and giving them a good response – not bad for an opening support act! And despite there being a few complaints of the guitars being too loud onstage, the levels seemed to be fine from my point of view in the crowd, so hopefully it was just a problem limited to the stage. And although the set was only 30 minutes in duration, Wolfheart also included plenty of good songs, such as Strength And Valor, and new single Boneyard which went down a storm! It was an all-round great performance that set the scene well for the rest of the night.
Main support came from Barren Earth, and although I wasn't the biggest fan of their latest album On Lonely Towers, I was still interested in seeing how the songs translated in a live environment, as well as hearing how vocalist Jón took on their older material. The new material certainly sounded better in a live environment, but as I mentioned in my review of the album, the clean vocals were somewhat weak and although the harsh vocals packed a serious punch, the contrast in quality between the two left it sounding quite disappointing as a result. However, he was an engaging and interesting performer, and the band worked so well as a unit, giving a tight and empowered performance – and guitarist Janne is always such an involved performer that it's always so fun to watch him interacting with both his bandmates and the crowd! So really, aside from a semi-minor complaint, it was a good set from the band.
The room was pretty much packed by the time Insomnium were due onstage, with the temperature in the crowd becoming a little unbearable with everyone packed tightly together down at the front, but Insomnium brought the winter in a musical sense with a full rendition of their Winter's Gate album, a piece of work consisting of one sole song divided up into seven parts. To say it was an absolute treat to witness this song in the flesh is somewhat of an understatement; whilst the song is magical on CD, it somehow has an extra dimension in a live environment and you can't help but just get lost in the music as the band progresses on their music journey, with you on-board as a passenger.
The band also played a good mix of older songs once they were finished with Winter's Gate, including Change Of Heart and The Gale, but perhaps my favourite song of the night was crowd favourite The Promethean Song, which featured a very moving clean vocal delivery that gave me goosebumps as I sang along at the top of my voice to it!
As a whole, it was a fantastic night with all three bands putting on a great show. The lineup was well put-together, with the three bands all complementing one another, and was most definitely the perfect start to my 2017 gig year!

Communication Assessment
Getting your message across in a way that is clear and coherent to everyone that is listening is a critical skill in organizational as well as personal life. This not only helps in one-on-one conversations but in the many different ways that we have to get our messages across in group situations and through an increasingly wide array of channels (some of which are very high-tech these days).
Whatever kind of communication an individual may be doing the most, a diagnostic appraisal of the capacity to communicate well is always a useful first step. In ideal circumstances a good communication assessment with therefore identify areas of strength and areas that are in need of development to give individuals a chance to hone or polish skills and be a better communicator (both the talking and the listening side of this equation, of course). This means that a particular person will be much more effective in using this increasingly critical skill and make the major difference in his or her ability to empower the people that he or she communicates with in the future much more successfully.
The "Communication Effectiveness assessment" (see link below) provides a highly structured process through which to look at the large and often complex subject of communicating with others. The subject is therefore broken down into seven sub-categories as follows:
- Empathizing
- Receiving
- Clarifying
- Understanding
- Reading Non-Verbal Clues
- Feedback Giving
- Transmitting Your Message
This online and paper-based communication assessment gives individuals the opportunity to not only carry out a self-assessment (which provides scores and interpretive information in all seven of the above categories) but also allows participants to undertake the communication assessment as 180-degree feedback (including his or her boss) and even 360-degree feedback (adding in up to ten colleagues as well). Individuals end up with a personalized report of results which also then shows where efforts to improve or make small adjustments in approach may be focused in the future. The $20 spent on this assessment is therefore well-worth the investment.

I'm sure you've heard about it in the news – the flu virus has mutated, therefore leaving the flu shot less effective this year. A lot of you are catching the flu (along with your families), and those who haven't yet are freaked out that they will. I'm right there with you sisters and brothers, and that's where we're here to help.
There is still hope and lots of ways to help the flu – even if your family doesn't take the flu shot. See below for surprising ways to keep your immunity up and to help prevent the flu (and other viruses):
- Eat local honey. Local honey (it needs to be cultivated from the town you live in) is very effective in not only improving your immune system, but helping prevent seasonal allergies
- Garlic is a natural antibiotic, helping your body to fight off germs the natural way
- Organic Plain Yogurt. Be sure to buy organic plain yogurt (Greek is even better). This type of yogurt has the highest concentration of the good bacteria you need to fight off the bad bacteria and keep your immune system (and digestive tract) healthy. We like Stoneyfield Organic Yogurt.
- Kefir. This super food (drink) has many times more of the good bacteria than yogurt, and different types of strains as well. Your best bet: to either have a serving of each every day, or alternate out (one serving of Kefir one day, one serving of yogurt the next).
- Lemon with Cayenne and Ginger in Hot Water: I know – this does not sound appetizing, but it will keep sickness away. Mix this tonic together every morning on an empty stomach and not only will you improve your immunity, but also your overall health, digestion, and you will be giving yourself a good detox. ONLY use either whole lemons or organic lemon juice.
- Lemon Water on a Regular Basis: Pouring a glass of water? Add lemon. Ordering water (or tea) at a restaurant? Add lemon. This small but important habit will improve your health and immunity. Take my word for it. And REMEMBER: only use whole lemons or ORGANIC lemon juice – none of the fake stuff (and yes, a lot of it is fake – I've done the research).
- Exercise: At least 30 minutes of exercise daily is known to improve overall health, including immunity. Don't have 30 minutes? Break it up into 10 or 15 minute increments. My time-saving exercise tip: Do office exercises on your lunch break, or take a walk at lunch (weather permitting). It will improve your productivity for the rest of the afternoon as well!
- A Multivitamin: A multivitamin doesn't replace a healthy diet, but will supplement you with Vitamin C, D and B vitamins (among others) that you need to keep a healthy immunity.
- Vitamin D: Most of us do not get enough Vitamin D this time of year, so it's a great idea to take a supplement. Although we think mostly of vitamin C as being a good immunity booster, Vitamin D is as well.
- Saline Nose Spray. Keeping your airways moist will help to fight off germs. This is one reason why so much sickness goes around in the winter – the dry air we breathe.
- Humidifier. Same concept as above. Definitely use one while you're sleeping if anything.
- Get the Flu Shot. Although the virus is mutated, the flu shot is still 50% effective in fighting off the flu, and if you do get the virus that has mutated, the flu shot may help lessen symptoms. Although it doesn't have the usual 80% effectiveness, it's still worth taking.
- Sleep is one of the top immunity boosters, making it a very high priority on this list. Your body repairs itself and the immune system during sleep. Aim for eight hours a night (with your humidifier on of course ).
- Nap When You Can. This is one that has helped me a ton (maybe also because I'm pregnant), but on the days you can, fit a 20 minute nap in when you feel the sluggishness coming on. It's proven that a 20 minute nap is rejuvenating and good for your health.
- Yoga helps repair and heal the body in so many ways – mentally and physically. By doing yoga, you are strengthening yourself physically, while reducing stress (which has a huge impact on the immune system)
- Speaking of Stress, Meditate. Meditation may sound or feel strange if you have never done it. But you don't have to chant "OMs" (or you can if you want). All you have to do is find a quiet place, maybe add a nice scented candle and/or relaxing music, but absolutely no distractions. Just sit in peace with your eyes closed. This is a good time to let thoughts fall pass in and then let them fall away, or use this as prayer time to sit and listen for God. Meditation is proven to reduce stress and increase health/immunity.
- Legs Up the Wall Pose. This and meditation go hand in hand for me. You don't have to, but I recommend it. Take a pillow and put it up against a wall. Lay flat with your buttocks on the pillow and legs straight up the wall. Stay in this pose for about 15 minutes.
- Eat a Healthy Diet. Your diet can make your break your health – literally. So choose fresh veggies and fruits, and go organic when possible. Eat lots of lean meats, and eat out as little as possible (definitely stay away from fast food). Eating healthy supplies your body with the vitamins and nutrients it needs to fight off those bad bugs.
- Avoid Sugar and Alcohol When Possible. It's ok to indulge every now in then – I'm all about moderation. Just don't overdo it on the sweets or alcohol. It's healthy to have one glass of red wine or one beer a day, but anything over that (especially for women) can be unhealthy and lower your immune system.
- Green Tea. Green tea, another super food (or drink), is known to boost the immune system and improve overall health, including reducing the risk of many cancers. Drink up! Add lemon to increase its effects.
- Wash Your Hands Frequently and keep your hands away from your eyes and mouth. This is a no-brainer, but many people skip this super important health-must. All it takes one of those little suckers (flu viruses) to enter your body and contaminate you, so wash wash wash.
- Stay Out of Large Crowds. I know this sounds a little OCD and isn't always possible, but if you have the choice, stay away from huge crowds and stay home when possible, and resume those social activities when flu season has passed (or at least lessened a bit)
- Don't use Antibacterial Soap or Hand Sanitizer. Sounds contradictory, doesn't it? Well we have some evidence to back this one up. Repeatedly using hand sanitizer and antibacterial soaps have shown to weaken our immune systems by not giving our bodies a chance to be able to fight off the bacteria/viruses it needs to. What's more, theories are out suggesting that it may contribute to food allergies. Why? Because it lowers our immunity to a point that our body is looking at certain things (foods) as being "bad" for the body, when they really aren't, and trying to fight them off. So the plan: stick with good ole' regular soap. Our grandparents knew what they were doing
- Floss. "What does flossing have to do with my immune system?" you may ask. Inflammation caused by not flossing can introduce bacteria and inflammation to other parts of the body, increasing your risk of heart disease and cancer, so floss those pearly whites!
- Get a Massage. Want a good excuse to pay for a massage? This is it. By reducing stress and increasing your amount of natural killer cells, massage definitely improves immunity. So what are you waiting for?
Got anymore tips? Write them below in the comments section…we'd love to hear from you! And cheers to good health this winter!
*Disclaimer: These tips are not guaranteed to prevent the flu, just overall tips on helping you to stay your healthiest to help prevent it as much as possible.
