Why is a trauma lens important to healthcare professionals?
For the trauma survivor to have the best experience in a healthcare office, both you and your office staff needs to be trauma-informed. Your staff must understand the emotional issues, expectations, and special needs that a trauma survivor may require in a health care setting. Anxious feelings about appointments may be amplified for a trauma survivor. A simple office visit may trigger memories of past abuse; generating overwhelming feelings of helplessness and fear of physical harm. Think of what we do as pelvic health therapists in our assessment and treatment sessions. Our patients need to undress and are placed in positions that may feel very vulnerable (legs open). We may be introducing something into their body (instruments or a finger); we touch them and are in close proximity to some very intimate areas of their body.
How do you create a survivor friendly office?[i]
- Offer a calm and soothing office environment.
- Provide a relaxed and unhurried attention to the patient.
- Talk over concerns and procedures before asking the patient to disrobe.
- Give your patient as much control and choice as possible about what happens and when (wearing their coat, listening to music, leaving door open/closed/ajar during the exam).
- Validate any concerns your patient may have as understandable and normal.
- Be flexible about having a support person in the room with them.
- Explain each procedure and obtain consent.
- Ask if they are ready for you to begin.
- Be clear that they can pause or end the exam at any time.
- Encourage questions.
- Maintain a personable and friendly manner.
- Be straightforward and generous with information.
- Talk to your patient throughout to let them know what you are doing and why.
We are part of our patient's emotional healing process. When we provide a positive medical experience, we support healing from past trauma. These patients have often never had any control, learnt to say no or been listened to. When we provide them this control, it empowers them to counteract the helplessness they have always experienced.
What about our own emotional wellbeing when working with trauma patients?
Patients may open up and share intimate details about their lives and you may not know how to deal with this information. What impact does that have on you as a therapist? What if you are yourself a survivor of trauma? Working with a survivor of trauma can be a very draining experience as a physiotherapist. I have found that when I have a few trauma survivors scheduled in the same day, I finished the day exhausted.
You may encounter a few symptoms such as compassion stress, compassion fatigue or experience vicarious trauma where you may begin to see changes within yourself especially if you are a highly empathic, sensitive individual.
Self-care is necessary and I have to say, was my personal challenge. Are you sleeping well? Are you eating well? Do you need to ensure that you exercise daily, go for a good walk or run and get some fresh air? Do you need to do some restorative exercises such as yoga and meditation? If you are a survivor yourself and become triggered by working with a patient, do you have a plan to help you manage your own symptoms?
Shouldn't learning to treat with a trauma lens be introduced at the University level for all professions that are involved in the healing arts? It's not just about pelvic health! All physiotherapists, occupational therapists, physicians, nurses, massage therapists touch their patients. When we look at the statistics, it seems nonsensical that we are not better prepared to address the needs of trauma survivors. A basic understanding of recognizing the signs of trauma and knowing when to refer to the appropriate professionals should be part of our toolkit as therapists. A trauma course will teach you these basic skills as well as provide you with an understanding of how to respond if your patient has been triggered and how to best manage your own self-care. It was a game changing course for me both for my professional growth but also for my personal growth.

Women's soccer worldwide has suffered from a lack of support from major sponsors. Even in one of the most progressive countries, the United States, the teams of the National Women's Soccer League have relied on funding from obscure companies such as ProChain software, and several health insurance companies Providence, Moda, and Orlando Health. There are a handful of familiar names on the front of NWSL kits such as Continental Tire, Microsoft, and Domino's Pizza, a far cry from the days when ad patches on WUSA kits featured companies like Dent Wizard.
But it was announced today that UEFA, the continental governing body of soccer in Europe, had signed an eight-year agreement with Visa to promote the UEFA Women's Champions League, European Nations League, and European Championships through 2025.
What is enormous about this deal is not only its length, but the fact that UEFA already has financial and credit sponsorship already, but on the men's side. This is a gender-specific deal, and it could ratchet up competition for becoming The Official Credit Card for all of UEFA once the next deals are negotiated.
UEFA is also very protective of its sponsors; in the original version of the Champions' League opening credits for the world feed, the seven major sponsors figured prominently in the computer-generated animation. A couple of these sponsors remain on board to this very day, which shows how loyal this governing body is to the people who help finance major competitions within Europe.
And with the influx of cash, it could be interesting to see how many and which European club teams decided to spend money to attract top talent and compete with the NWSL for talent.

Interest rates
For those of you not paying attention, the bond market has had an amazing month and a half!
If you are thinking to yourself, "What does the bond market have to do with anything, I buy stocks," hold on to your hat.
Bonds are frequently used as the discount rate or the base rate from which discount rates on stocks are computed. This is most prevalently seen in the Fed Model, but is also the way almost every finance textbook used in business school starts.
If bonds drop in price, and their yields go up (as has happened lately), then stock prices should go down (all things being equal, and they never are). By how much? I'll get to that below.
Back on May 2nd, the 10 year yield on US Treasury bonds was 4.64% and the 3 month yield on US Treasury bills was 4.87% (according to Value Line's May 11 Selection and Opinion). Today, according to PIMCO's website, the 10 year is yielding 5.30% and the 3 month is yielding 4.72%.
This is a massive change! The 10 year's yield jumped 0.66% and the 3 month's yield dove 0.15%. Because the bond market has such a huge impact on all discount rates in the market, this is a huge change!
For those of you thinking the stock market's recent sell off has taken account of such a discount rate change, think again. The DJIA was at $13,211.88 on May 2nd and closed at $13,295.01 today, a 0.63% increase. All things being equal (assuming estimates on company earnings haven't changed), the DJIA should be at $11,566.60–down 12.45%! Instead, it's at $13,295.01, implying that earnings estimates for the DJIA have increased by 14.95% in the past month? I doubt that.
I'm NOT suggesting the Fed Model is correct or that stock prices should move precisely with bond yields, but I am suggesting that the stock market, and perhaps other markets, have not taken full account of recent bond price and yield movements.
Also, how do you think bond price moves will impact mortgage and housing markets? A 30 year mortgage on a $300,000 house should go up around 7% per month (or $130) based on this bond price change. Does it seem like that's been figured into market prices for home builders and mortgage companies? It doesn't seem like it to me.
As usual, I'm making no assumptions about what will happen in the market and when, but I do find recent bond market moves disturbing.
Perhaps bond prices and yields will go back to where they were, vindicating recent stock market moves. Perhaps fundamentals are improving just as quickly as bond prices are dropping and this justifies no move in prices.
I can't predict what will happen much better than the next guy, but I am scratching my head and wondering what other people in the market are thinking.

A woman's life is a juggling act; coping with career, home, family and kids, she hardly finds time to take care of her body and fitness. The result: By the time she enters into her
40s, the lack of exercises, besides the hormonal shifts and poor food choices, combinedly takes a toll on the health and makes her dependent on doctors and physiotherapists.
Not a good scenario, I must say. So, for a woman to remain ailment-free, one of the solutions, on which I bank upon and I am sure your doctor advises too, is a few exercises.
Boring they may sound, yet exercises are necessary evil. So that you don't make any excuses for skipping the exercise, I have rounded up a list (of exercises) which will hardly
take 5 minutes of your time to do each . Moreover these can be done anytime, anywhere and don't require any special equipment too to perform.
1. Anti-anxiety exercise: Women are anxious most of the time as they stress a lot about their family well-being or coping well in the job(to name two among many). To get quick
relief from anxiety, try performing these breathing exercises.
The first great stress buster technique is called Anoolom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) in yoga.
Steps to do it:
- Sit crossed legged and close your eyes.
- Close right nostril with thumb and take a deep breath through your left nostril. Do this slowly as if you want to fill the lungs with air.
- Now close left nostril with your ring finger and simultaneously release the thumb. Then breathe out slowly through right nostril.
- Next take in the air from right nostril and release the air through left (close right nostril with thumb). This completes one round of this practice.
- Do it once in morning and once in evening.
Second is Bhramari Pranayam, also known as Humming Bee breathing technique. It's a sure shot exercise to calm mind and reduces stress, anxiety and fatigue.
- Sit in the easy posture with straight spine (sukhasana- simple cross-legged position) on a blanket or yoga mat. If you have any knee issues, just sit on a chair with straight spine.
- Gently close the ear with both the thumbs. The purpose of pressing is just to minimise the external noise.
- Now, put the index fingers of both hands on your forehead, just above the eyebrows. Close eyes gently with remaining 3 fingers.
- Fold the tongue in such a way that its tip touches the upper pallet of the mouth.
- Slowly take a deep breath through both the nostrils. Then exhale slowly while producing a humming sound. ( Try chanting the OM sound without opening the mouth).
- Your mouth should remain closed during the practice. You would feel vibrations in your throat, jaws and lips.
This completes one cycle. Try doing at least 2 cycles at one go.You can check the video by clicking on following link.
2. Facial exercise: Don't have time to go to spa or saloon for elaborate facial session; try these facial exercises at home to keep those fine lines at bay
Tone the whole face: Gently massage the whole face as shown in the video. The purpose of massage is to increase the flow of blood and oxygen to the face, boosting the collagen
production. Just apply gentle but firm pressure to your face, forehead and neck with fingertips in upward motion.
Open your eyes wide: Sit comfortably in cross-legged position or in a chair. Now focus your eyes at a point in the distance. Slowly open your eyes wide without engaging any
other facial muscles. Make sure your eyebrows are not wrinkled. Maintain the position for about 10 seconds and relax. Repeat four times. These helps to minimise the fine lines
around the eyes.
Fill your mouth with air: Keep your lips tightly closed. Transfer the air in your mouth from one side to the another and up and down too. Now make circling motion inside the
mouth filled with air. Continue the procedure for a few minutes, relax and repeat a couple of times. This helps you get rid of chubby cheeks and wrinkles around the mouth.
3. Kegel: Have you ever laughed so hard that you peed a bit in your pants? You leak because you have weak pelvic floor muscles which is caused as we age or after child birth. To remain out of adult diapers later in your life, start performing Kegel exercises just for 5 minutes every day.You can perform this exercise while travelling, when you watch television or even going up and down the elevator!!
First identify the right muscles to engage in exercise. when you urinate, stopping midstream. The muscles involved in this act are the muscles you need to work on.
Now tighten your pelvic floor muscles (as if you are holding the urge to urinate) and hold the contraction for at least 5 seconds and then relax. Do it for at least 10 times in a day.
Be careful not to engage the muscles in the abdomen, thighs or buttocks. And breathe normally during the whole exercise.
4. Anti-bloating: Bloating is a frustrating symptom of hormonal imbalance, PMS, irregular or bad food choices etc. Here is the yoga exercise you can do at the comfort of your
home to say goodbye to bloating. Avoid if you have back pain.
Seated twist:
- Sit in a cross-legged position. Make sure your sit bones are in perfect contact with the mat.
- Keep your shoulders and chin parallel to the floor and spine elongated.
- Place the fingertips of your right hand on the floor behind your tail bone.
- Place your left hand on your right knee. Now hug your right knee into your chest with your left arm.
- Inhale and lengthen the pine, exhale as you begin twisting to the right side engaging your abdominal muscles.
5. Knee pain: A woman is more susceptible to knee pain because the estrogen level in the body decreases during the menstrual cycle as well as during menopause. (The estrogen is
female hormone which protects the cartilage around knee joint). Obesity too increases the risk of knee pain as (over) weight puts lots of pressure on knee. Strengthening the upper
and lower muscles that supports knee is of utmost important as strong muscles means putting less pressure on the knees, thereby getting relief from pain.
Quads Strengthening exercises: These exercises will strengthen the muscles at front of the thigh.
Quad clenches: Steps to do.
- Lay flat on your back and keep your knees and legs straight.
- Tighten the muscle on the front of the thigh and push the knee caps towards you.
- Hold the position for 3 -5 seconds.
- Do it for 10-15 times after every 3-4 hours.
Foot raise: Steps to do:
- Sit on chair with knee bent and feet on floor.
- Squeeze the thigh muscles and Lift your foot up and straighten your leg and knee as much as possible. Hold for 5 secs before putting it back on floor.
- Do this for twice or thrice daily each set for 10-15 times.
Hamstring strengthening exercise: This exercise will strengthen the muscles at the back of the thigh. Steps to do:
- Sit on a firm chair with feet on floor.
- Slowly slide one foot till the heel of the foot is placed against the leg of the chair.
- Now firmly press the heel of the foot into the chair's leg till you feel the back of the thigh muscles clenching. Heel of the foot should not move upwards during the exercise.
- Repeat the same with the other leg. You can do it twice or thrice daily for 10-15 times.
Calf strengthening: These strengthen the muscles on the back of the leg between the knee and the ankle.
- Stand with your feet slightly apart and hold onto something for balance if needed
- Rise up onto your toes lifting your heels as high as possible. Keep your body upright while doing this exercise. Hold for 3-5 secs and slowly lower.
- Repeat 15-20 times, twice or thrice daily.
Though I have written the above given exercises with keeping women in mind, but come to think of it, all of these can be performed by men too (ailment reasons could be different
but cure is same). So guys, get up and flex those muscles by performing these 5 minute exercises.

Well, there will be no comparison to the older tracks concerning speed. The turns are there but lot's of stretches have been lengthened, both on the flats and the turns. Tunnels taken out, ect. For the new tracks it would be great at least to get the exact layout of the track(length, and all the turns with the same curvature). The background look cool, so I'm not concerned with that. I was excited to compare sagarmatha to XL, but it is a longer track. However, it easy for any XL veteran to manouever through it. People keep saying the new physics would be impossible with the old track designs, but that is not true. There are some hard original tracks in pure that are harder than gare deuropa.

The Florist Singapore can also help you with the florist delivery of these plants whether you choose to send them for a same day flower delivery or for a delivery on a specific date and time. Since the beginning of time, these plants are associated with the holiday seasons because of symbolism and meaning, and they are still used today for any flower gifting and home decorations.
- Holly
The leathery and shiny leaves of the Holly and its fleshy bright red berries are a perfect match for the Christmas colors. They are a popular Christmas decoration to any home for the holiday seasons, and they make a very complementing enhancement to any floral arrangements for the festive celebrations. A florist delivery of a Christmas flower arrangement is usually accessorized with Hollies, whether live plants or dried and artificial ones.
- Amaryllis
The structure of a tall Amaryllis and its trumpet-like shape are among the reasons why it is a favorite Christmas plant. It can be used for flower gifting and flower arrangements for the holiday festivity. The florist in Singapore creates beautiful designs of table centerpieces and they are available in the flower shop Singapore during the winter months of the holiday seasons.
- Rosemary
Although this plant is not a traditional Christmas plant, many florists and planters prune this plant to create a lovely Christmas tree. It was once a part of the Christmas Nativity story and believed to give a sweet smell that brings good luck to people. Being one of the holiday plants now, Rosemary is available in the flower shops during the winter seasons.
- Poinsettias
Poinsettias are the most recognizable and visible Christmas plant. The leaves or bracts are in bright red and green colors, which make the plant very symbolic and significant to the holidays. Poinsettias are also available in a variety of colors, making them easy to match to any theme of Christmas home decorations.

When you choose to give Christmas plants as your holiday Flower Delivery Singapore, make sure that the recipient knows how to take care of them so that they will bloom right and richly. Ask the florist for help, in case you do not know how.

Did agricultural biotechnology corporation Monsanto ignore the health risks of PCBs in their products to gain more profits?
According to Bill Sherman, the assistant attorney general for the state of Washington who is suing the controversial agrochemical company, Monsanto execs knew the public health and environmental implications of their contaminated products but still went ahead with production.
Monsanto is facing several lawsuits from several cities in the Pacific Northwest and municipalities in California. Though the company admitted that PCBs are dangerous to the health and the environment, Monsanto is challenging the government's findings of toxicity.
Monsanto knew of grave health risks from toxic PCB chemicals it sold for years before ban, docs sayMonsanto used toxic industrial chemicals known as PCBs in the production of everyday appliances such as TVs, fridges and plastics for at least eight years after discovering the harm they did, newly-compiled archives claim to prove.
From the 1930s, and until the end of their distribution in 1977, Monsanto was the dominant US producer of the chemicals.
Now a trove of 20,000 documents, dubbed the "Poison Papers," gathered from regulators, lawsuits and archives by campaigners and scientists, claims that the Missouri-headquartered company openly discussed the environmental and health impact of PCBs.
"If authentic, these records confirm that Monsanto knew that their PCBs were harmful and pervasive in the environment, and kept selling them in spite of that fact. They knew the dangers, but hid them from the public in order to profit," Bill Sherman, the assistant attorney general for the state of Washington, which is suing the company, told the Guardian.
Several cities in the Pacific Northwest, including Seattle, and multiple municipalities in California, such as San Diego and San Jose, are also currently pursuing legal action against Monsanto.
As far back as 1969, an internal policy document admitted "damage to the ecological system by contamination from PCBs," and stated that "evidence proving the persistence of these compounds and their universal presence in the environment is beyond questioning."
The non-biodegradable nature of PCBs, which are still found both in water and in soil worldwide, has since turned out to be one of its most serious legacies.
"Direct lawsuits are possible… because customers using the products have not been officially notified about known effects nor do our labels carry this information," read the assessment. At the end of the document, the author provides Monsanto with three solutions: Do Nothing ("poor customer relations" and "potential loss of business"), Discontinue Manufacture ("not that simple") and presumably the option the company chose: Respond responsibly by phasing out the product.

Funds put a new roof over seven families affected by Harvey
United Way of the Coastal Bend gave Habitat for Humanity-Corpus Christi $40,000 for the long-term recovery of Corpus Christi residents. Habitat for Humanity's volunteers and recipient homeowners worked together to repair and rebuild the roofs of six homes. The seventh began construction on July 9th.
"Habitat for Humanity-Corpus Christi does great work for the people in our community, especially by providing them with a hand up on earning their financial independence," said Catrina Wilson, President & CEO of United Way of the Coastal Bend. "As we all saw with Hurricane Harvey, sometimes things in life happen that seem like too much to handle alone. When we work together like this, we build up our community as a whole."
Habitat for Humanity, an ecumenical non-profit, brings people together to strengthen communities by building the hope and homes of people in need. By committing to the required 300-500 hours of "sweat equity," Habitat homeowners earn a place they can call home and a 25-30 year interest-free mortgage. The lasting result is the strength, stability and independence needed for them to live a better life with decreased dependence on social services, improved mental health and better academic achievement in children. The homeowners supported by United Way of the Coastal Bend's gift weren't insured when the hurricane hit and were denied by FEMA.
"Habitat is truly honored to have received the $40,000 grant. It's our privilege to partner with United Way of Coastal Bend in helping families in need. This partnership has not only helped the families, it has brought a community together – neighbor helping neighbor," said Carol Gomez, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity-Corpus Christi.
About one dozen volunteers from Asset-Based Community Development worked on two of the roofs. The other five have been covered by Pinnacle Roofing. Each roofing project took approximately one week to complete.
View United Way of the Coastal Bend's video and get to know the owner of the seventh home, Ms. Rodriguez.

In 2011, C.R. Bard Inc. agreed to pay around $184 million to settle lawsuits consolidated in Rhode Island multidistrict litigation. The lawsuits alleged plaintiffs suffered severe harm because of defective Kugel Mesh hernia patches, which included memory recoil rings that could break after implantation resulting in abscesses and fistulas in the patient's abdomen.
At the time, Bard faced more than 3,000 lawsuits in state and federal court regarding its hernia patches. When it announced the settlement, Bard did not admit liability. The company defended the mesh, saying that some injuries were the result of doctor error.
Bard had reportedly agreed to the settlement after a bellwether trial resulted in $1.5 million awarded to a plaintiff - Christopher Thorpe - who alleged he developed an abscess and a fistula after a Kugel Mesh was implanted to repair a ventral hernia. Bard had filed for a new trial, but a federal judge rejected the request.
All three recalls were linked to reports of the memory ring breaking, resulting in painful and serious injuries. At the time, patients were warned to watch for signs of memory ring breakage, which included unexplained or persistent abdominal pain, fever and/or tenderness at the surgery site.
As a result, patients who had the Kugel Mesh implanted may still be at some risk of the device failing and may still be able to file a lawsuit if the memory ring breaks and they are injured as a result.
The settlement was linked to In re: Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch Products Liability Litigation, case number 07-md-01842, US District Court for the District of Rhode Island.

Top Films for October 2017
You know what time it is! Movie preview time! Here's where I list what I want to see/recommend people check out each month.
The Divergent Series: Allegiant – Film Review
The issue with the Divergent franchise is that it has always been far too similar, and not as good as, The Hunger Games, which also suffered a slump in its third movie because the final book was unnecessarily split into two films – an obvious money-spinning ploy which negatively impacts the momentum and energy of the movies. The Divergent series has never been amazing, but Allegiant is a new low that won't even please fans of the novel.
Oscars 2016: Best & Worst Dressed
We have finally reached the end of the film awards season! It felt like we would never get there but yes, the Oscars, the pinnacle of everything, happened Sunday night. Sure, the prizes are a good talking point but this is ALL about the fashion. This is the biggie – the event everyone saves their best for, and there were some damn good outfits on display.
BAFTAs 2016: Gossip & Picture Gallery
Last night I had the absolute privilege to report from the 2016 BAFTAs. This is such a big deal to me – I've watched the ceremony for years, been down there as a fan three times and only stopped that because I had to report on the broadcast from home. And this year I was there myself working surrounded by celebs and people who love film, and I was not going to waste this big opportunity. Read inside for all the info:
Kate Winslet & Maisie Williams at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards
Last night I went to down to the Mayfair Hotel in London to cover the London Critics' Circle Film Awards and I must admit I was slightly disappointed with the line-up simply because I was expecting one of The Revenant cast to be there, or at least a few more global stars.
Golden Globes 2016: Best & Worst Dressed
Now I love me some fashion, and after a sad day like today I need to distract myself by looking through the red carpet outfits from the 2016 Golden Globes Sunday night.
Steve Jobs: Film Review
I think I am in the minority when I say I don't see Steve Jobs as some sort of tech God. Yes, I can acknowledge everything he has done for the industry and how he helped revolutionise it, but as someone who doesn't buy Apple products or read about tech, I was very unaware of his whole story. I have never seen a Steve Jobs biopic until now, so I probably found this way more interesting than tech nerds who know everything about him already.
Top Films for November
It is that time of the month again and this November, there are some pretty sweet movies on the way as awards season is well and truly upon us. Find out my picks below:
BFI London Film Festival: What I want to see
Tickets for the BFI London Film Festival opened today and I have been through the schedule and here are my (pretty obvious) choices for the tickets I want to get my hands on:

¿Cómo la sangrienta historia de España dio lugar a la mayor concentración de ascensores del mundo? Cuando uno piensa en España lo que primero se le viene a la cabeza es la palabra ascensor, ¿o puede que no?.
Pues bien, lo cierto es que razones no faltan. Como se puede observar en el siguiente gráfico, el número de ascensores por cada mil habitantes es clara y comparativamente más alto en España que en el resto de países estudiados. La alta propensión a vivir en pisos podría ser vista a simple vista como la causa más lógica. En 2012, aproximadamente el 65% de la población residía en pisos o apartamentos, porcentaje claramente superior al 46% de la media europea y sólo comparable a países como Letonia o Estonia. Sin embargo, es importante tener en cuenta otros factores, como la mayor predisposición de los españoles a vivir en régimen de propiedad, tal y como se deduce del siguiente grafico.
What Bruce Lee Can Teach You About Design. Bruce Lee didn't know much about design, but he was not short on useful life philosophies.
Which is why D'Wayne Edwards, who was design director for Nike's Jordan line before starting Pensole Footwear Design Academy, counts the martial arts icon among his top inspirations. "Everyone knows him as a fighter," Edwards, one of Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business this year, said. What Edwards finds inspiring, however, is Lee's way of thinking. Like many young men, Edwards developed an interest in Lee through his movies. Alternate Reality Game Will Turn You Into a Fitness Maniac.
"Alternate reality game" is the term du jour for what used to be called "playing make-believe with your friends outside.
" The main difference is that ARGs are designed by professionals, aimed at adults, and usually harness the Internet and mobile phone technology to create their fantasy worlds as virtual "layers" over the real world. Silicon Valley's Smart Tech Foundation Launches $1 Million Competition For Safer Guns. Silicon Valley likes to think of itself as the ultimate problem solver.
Today, Ron Conway, a prolific angel investor (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Zappos), and serial entrepreneurs Jim Pitkow and Don Kendall are tackling one of the most urgent and complex problems in America: the epidemic of gun violence. As Pitkow told the audience this morning at Fast Company's Innovation Uncensored event in San Francisco, he and his colleagues want to entice a wave of inventors and entrepreneurs to help save lives. Paro agropecuario y Diseño Industrial en Colombia. Stealth Wear Makes A Jump From Art To Product.
Artist Adam Harvey has been working with the idea of anti-surveillance for years, creating, for instance, a handbag that thwarts paparazzi with a flash of its own, a series of portraits that fool face-recognition technologies with blocks of makeup and obtrusive hairstyles, and a line of "stealth wear" designed to camouflage its wearers from drones.
But only recently did his projects begin to seem as marketable as they are provocative. His latest invention, a collaboration with performance wear designer Johanna Bloomfield called "OFF pocket," is an envelope for cell phones that supposedly blocks all cellular, Wi-Fi, and GPS signals. More than 650 Kickstarter backers have contributed $56,447 to see it be manufactured en mass. The project may not have generated as much interest before the NSA's mass electronic surveillance program was revealed to the public earlier this year. How Infographics Are Changing Congress. Back in June, something amazing happened in Congress.
During the annual long-term budget outlook hearing, Maryland Congressman Chris van Hollen raised a single piece of paper confidently in the air. He pointed at it, cited it, and used it as an anchor for discussion on the future of our economy. This paper wasn't a bill or even a full budget report. Abre en Madrid la primera tienda de guillotinas de Europa. Aviso: Esta noticia tiene más de un año. Última actualización: 13/12/2012. IvyConnect, The Social Network That's Too Good For You. For the most part, the Internet is a democratic place.
It has connected billions of people, made publishers of us all, and has played a (debated) role in revolutions across the globe. The Internet still costs money to access conveniently, and the digital divide remains a reality, but few can contest that on balance, the Internet's forces have been on the side of inclusion, rather than exclusion. New Technology Sends Ads Directly Into Your Brain. Wildly Experimental Corsets, Inspired By Orthopedics And Smallpox. Apart from a few broken fingers and arms resulting from "a very sporty youth," Marina Hoermanseder's personal experience with hospitals and doctors has been relatively limited.
It was during a coveted--and incredibly fruitful--three-month internship at Alexander McQueen that the Austrian designer developed a somewhat unlikely fascination. Corsets, specifically, caught her interest. "I liked the way they embraced female forms," she tells Co.Design. And thus began a deep, sometimes twisted dive into the structural undergarments. Amplifying Creative Communities. 3D-printed Robohand helps children born without fingers. News: a prosthetic hand designed for people with missing fingers has been made available to download from the 3D-printing design database Thingiverse (+ movie).
How 3D printing is changing health and medicine. In this extract from Print Shift, our one-off publication about 3D printing, editor Claire Barrett reports on the growing number of medical applications for the emerging technology and asks how soon we can expect 3D-printed organ transplants.
Imagine printing a human liver. Or a kidney. One day this will be possible, and with a desperate global shortage of organs for transplant, the medical industry is pouring resources into developing technologies that will make this a reality. "Eighteen people die every day in the US waiting for a transplant," says Michael Renard, executive vice president for commercial operations at San Diego-based Organovo, one of the companies that is leading the way in tissue engineering. Goggles Block Facial Recognition Algorithms. How Misinformed Ideas About Profit Are Holding Back The World's Poor.
I run a for-profit business that delivers products and services to customers earning less than $6 a day in West Africa. When I tell people this, I frequently encounter disbelief or concern. The three most common responses I hear are: Surely you can't make money working with people who are so poor? Don't you feel like you are taking advantage of these people by making money from them? Wouldn't charity do a better job of meeting their needs? 5 Ways That Today's Culture Will Impact Product Designs Of The Future. I was recently given a behind the scenes visit to the anthropology archives at the American Museum of Natural History in New York by Paul Beelitz, director of collections and archives in the museum's Anthropology Division.
One of the drawers in the Hopi Indian section housed a pair of moccasins in a particular hue of green that couldn't possibly have come from a plant or insect shell. Beelitz said this unique color was a perfect example of what anthropologists like to call "culture contact." During the tour, I knew when I saw chemical-based paints, or further back, glass beads, that Europeans had come in contact with the native peoples and influenced their creative process.
What will anthropologists of the future think of the swath of time that encompasses the advent of the geodesic dome, the Shinkansen train, and Judith Jones's soufflé recipe; but also the popularity of gas-guzzling SUVs as we near peak oil? A New Ingeniously Designed Shelter For Refugees. What do you do when a flash mob of a million homeless refugees shows up to your third world country from the neighboring third world country? Make them sleep on the hot (or cold) ground and wait for the United Nations to show up with crappy tents, of course. Until next month, that is, when you'll be able to put them up in solar-powered huts on the cheap. A More Friendly Condom Brand, Designed For Women. To Talia Frenkel, the condom aisle is a battlefield. The brands--Magnum, Trojan, Armor--default to an aggressive maleness (a "sex-is-war kind of thing") that's out of touch with modern sexuality.

The Government Palace is one of the most outstanding buildings of the XIX Century. Its constructions lasted 10 years, 10 monyhs and 10 days beginning on July 21, 1881, while Luis Terrazas was governor, and was inagurated on June 1st, 1892 by then governor Lauro Carillo. Enginner Jose Ignacio Irigoyen designed the building and Engineer Esperon was in charge of its construction, with a total cost of 40 thousand gold dollars.
The Palace was built on the plot where the old Jesuit School once stood; its beautifully carved ochre quarry combines several stules in a magnificent way. Inside you find enormous erchways and a large central patio; in front is a marble stairway with a stained-glass window over the landing, depicting details pertaining to law and justice. The Palace's original design only had two stories, but in 1941 a large fire destroyed the old General Headquarters or the Inne Provedence's archive and a large part of the building; in order to restore it, a special tax was imposed and a third floor.
In 1960, Governor Teofilo Borunda asked master Aaron Piña Mora to paint a mural where Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla has been executes while it was th old Jesuit School and his prision. The result was excellent and they decided to continue on so the history Chihuahua, from the first Sapnish expedition, headed by Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Baca, around 1530, to the Mexican Revolution on 1910, is depited on the main floor's archway. Later on, murals about Chihuahua's main economic activities were painted on the second floor.
After a great just completed in this historical building, and as homage to the father of our country, we recently, incorporates th Museum of Hidalgo began on September 15th 1810, the war for independence. In one of the haslls, stands out scale of the dolores church facade, where a vitual recreation of this historical event took palace.

ALAN Templeton found it hard to kick the habit when he was forced to give up football at the age of 54, but 10 years later, he is once again enjoying the game he loves.
The lifelong football fan is the founder and coordinator of Walking Football Brisbane - a slower, more low impact version of the world game.
Alan said the six on six game was ideal for seniors who wished to stay fit and active without the pain that comes with fast paced sports.
He said the game was also a great way of making new friends and improving cognitive skills.
Alan first heard about the game while watching popular football program the Keys & Gray Show and having missed the game since reluctantly giving it away, he knew it was ideal for him.
"I still wanted to play, but knew my body just couldn't handle the pace of outdoor football any more," he said.
He investigated and after finding out there were no leagues in Brisbane, he decided to start one himself in mid 2017.
The league kicked off in North Lakes in January 2018 and has since expanded to Newmarket and Coorparoo.
There are currently around 90-100 regular players and approximately 200 casual ones ranging in age from 48 to 81.
Alan said the organisation hosted its first major tournament at QUT Stadium this year. Plans are in place for a trip to Japan next year and an Australasian Cup which would include some teams from the Pacific Islands and Asia.
He said the club would love to hear from new people who were interested in giving the game a try.
"Walking football is for anyone who is keen to get off their backside and be part of a team environment and it's a great way of dealing with social isolation."
"I'm delighted I heard about walking football. It's changed the lives of so many people."
The organisation hosts games at North Lakes from 3-5pm on Sundays, Newmarket from 12.30-2.30pm on Wednesdays and 12-2pm on Sundays and Coorparoo from 2-4pm on Saturdays.

In 1871, on the corner of Pearl and Perry streets, A.C. Sherman constructed the first hotel in Rossville. M.V. Lee operated the hotel until June 1877 when he sold it to Mr. O. Woods, who sold it in 1878 to S.B. Maxwell, who then renovated the hotel. The hotel became known as the Maxwell House. A.W. Gabbey, son of Dr. Gabbey, purchased the hotel and renamed it The Rossville Hotel, operating it until Mr. and Mrs. Charles Vorhies took ownership of the pictured Union Hotel in 1898. They continued running the business until it burned on February 14, 1901.

« All Voyages Zuza's Schedule »
Sail & Discover Mull, Jura & Islay
- Vessel: Zuza
- Where: Scotland
- Duration: 7 days
- Embark: Oban - 25 July 2020, 14:00
- Disembark: Oban - 31 July 2020, 10:00
Join Zuza and her crew for an incredible week of exciting sailing and whisky tasting around the Hebrides, Scotland.
There surely is no better way to spend your summer days than sailing on the fabulous yacht Zuza while exploring the wonders of the Hebrides in Scotland. Join Zuza for this incredible sailing cruise, experiencing the full glory of the breathtakingly beautiful Hebrides and even stop off at some of Scotlands most prestigious distilleries.
The land formation of the Hebrides features the oldest rock in the world and is made up of hundreds of islands, inhabited and uninhabited. The east side of the islands are composed of islets and sea lochs run whilst the exposed westerly side is pounded by the Atlantic and proffers vast stretches of untouched, white sand beaches, stretching for miles. There really is no better way to see this part of the world than by boat.
Wildlife in the Hebrides is a real treat; sightings of seabirds such as Black Guillemots can be seen in their hundreds and white-tailed eagles soar along the rugged coastline. Sailing on Zuza is often rewarded with widespread sightings of birds of prey like Buzzards, Kestrels, Sparrowhawks and Peregrines and, if you're lucky, you'll spot the diminutive Merlin. Scotland is also home to Fulmars, Hooded Crows, and snowstorms of Gannets diving for food on the open sea. The island of Rum has a massive Manx Shearwater colony that allows incredible views as they raft offshore around the Small Isles or shear the waves in feeding parties. Acrobatic Ravens give everything else in the sky a flying lesson. These sights are magnificently overwhelming, with the sound of seabird colonies, Puffins, Guillemots & Razorbills, it is like nothing else on earth.
There are frequent encounters with Common, Bottlenose & Whitebeak dolphins on board these trips, and Risso & Whitesided dolphins are also occasionally sighted. Basking sharks have been scarce the last few years but are still seen and seem to be returning – and we know the hot spots! There are plenty of whales in this part of the world too. Our most common encounters are with Minke – Humpbacks are a less frequent visitor, while the real star of the show is the resident pod of Orca if you're lucky enough to see them gliding through the water. So keep your eyes peeled and have your binoculars at the ready!
This week of exciting sailing will also give the opportunity to visit some of the traditional distilleries dotted around the Hebridean whisky trail. After a day of sailing and exploring you'll be mooring up in some of the most beautiful wilderness anchorages; feasting on delicious food while draining a dram (or two!) of Scotland's finest malts.
Our itinerary is, of course, subject to change due to wind and weather, but you'll have sailing guaranteed no matter what! All arrangements for your distillery visits will be done by your skipper Helen, some additional admission fees may apply. Here are a few places you could visit:
Tobermory Distillery
Established in 1798, this is the only distillery on the island of Mull and one of the oldest commercial distilleries in Scotland. It produces two different, but equally alluring, single malts: the fruity, unpeated Tobermory and the more robust and smoky Ledaig.
Jura Distillery
A remarkable location on the island of Jura, producing a complex single malt with subtle smoky notes and a sweet Sherry cask finish. Established in 1810 the distillery was reimagined in 1963 by the island community and still welcomes thousands of visitors each year.
Laphroaig Distillery
This small island of Laphroaig, off the West Coast of Scotland, is renowned for being the world's richest single malt Scotch. Laphroaig's award-winning spirit is matured in a range of different woods and casks, and the product of a 200 year old tradition of unique whisky making.
Bowmore Distillery
Bowmore is Islay's oldest distillery, and home to the world's oldest whisky maturation warehouse, the No. 1 Vaults. It's in this legendary warehouse that Bowmore whisky has been meticulously matured by master distillers for nearly 240 years.
Skipper Helen has been sailing these waters for years and you'll definitely feel her love, appreciation and knowledge for these waters, whisky and wildlife. She knows all the secret spots and loves sharing these with her guests. Sometimes she will even spontaneously jump in to swim with the seals! Along with her first mate, there is also an onboard chef ready to cook you locally sourced and freshly prepared meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are all included in your ticket price and the crew will definitely indulge you. Wherever you explore with Zuza, be sure that the views will be breathtaking and the wildlife in abundance, so have your eyes peeled and your binoculars at the ready for a wonderful trip. With food included, private cabins and comfy social spaces, this is an adventure not to be missed!
As with all Zuza's sailing holidays, your ticket price includes Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks and Soft Drinks. There are two twin cabins with a shared bathroom and two double cabins with ensuites. All cabins are available for single occupancy at a 30% surcharge. All cabins have bedding and towels provided.
Simply click "Enquire Now" to reserve your berth for five days whilst you sort your travel plans. No booking form or deposit is required until you are ready to book!

Guest berths: 8 Rig: Bermudan Cutter
Built in 1998, Zuza already has plenty of history. After being launched in South Africa, the British Royal Geographical Society chose Zuza to be an offshore base for an international marine research project off the east coast of Africa, where her features and reliability helped to facilitate groundbreaking marine research.
This expedition yacht has a double hull and Bermudan Cutter rig, which makes her very smooth and steady on the water, and is easy for those that want to learn more about sailing or to just sit back and enjoy the ride in the comfort of the warm and dry wheelhouse.
Zuza has a super experienced crew, lead by skipper Helen Walker, and spends her season sailing around the inner and outer Hebrides in Scotland. With trips to St Kilda, Mull, Jura, Barra, The Small Isles and Skye, Zuza can sail to locations that are not accessible by the larger cruise boats in this area which make her perfect for sailing holidays in Scotland. Her quiet approach also stands her in good stead as to not scare off wildlife, which means she can get as close as is fair to the plethora of marine and wildlife that calls Scotland home.
She has a modern cutter rig and operates her sails with an easy and safe winch system. So if exploring hard to reach Scottish Islands and wildlife watching in comfort is the sort of experience you are seeking, then Zuza is the boat for you!
This vessel accommodates eight guests with plenty of living room both on and below deck. Unusually for a vessel of this size, she has two lovely private double ensuite cabins, which are often popular with guests travelling as couples. There are also another two, private twin-berth cabins with bunk-bed style accommodation that share a bathroom. Zuza's versatile accommodation makes her a great fit for all party sizes whether you are smaller group, couple, solo traveller or are looking for a private charter. She has a comfortable saloon that is perfect for getting to know each other; trading sea-faring stories and enjoying some of the delicious food prepared by the chef. The saloon is adjacent to the well-equipped galley that serves as the chef's workstation, and there are lots of windows throughout to make the most of long summer evenings and wildlife watching with a glass of chilled wine. Read more about Helen, the skipper and life on board Zuza as she cruises Scotland.
Take a look at this unique yacht and enjoy some big boat sailing!

text: Alexander, Corker Say New VA Clinics in Hawkins and Madison Counties Will Expand Access to Care for Tennessee Veterans Posted on June 1, 2007 Washington, DC U.S. Senators Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Bob Corker (R-TN) today praised an announcement by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that it plans to open two new community based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) in Tennessee, in Hawkins and Madison counties. The clinics are among 38 that have been announced across the country. "This is great news for nearly 5,000 Tennessee veterans in upper East Tennessee and West Tennessee who should now have an easier time getting the care they need," Alexander said "This process started with hospital administrators in Mountain Home and Memphis, and I applaud them for recognizing the increased healthcare needs of our veterans." "Accessibility is a key factor in providing the best possible care for our veterans, and I'm thrilled that health care services will now be closer to home for thousands of Tennessee veterans," Corker said. "Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country, and I will continue working with Senator Alexander to ensure they are receiving the care they deserve." CBOCs are established to improve access to primary and specialty care for veterans in rural areas to reduce veterans' drive times, waiting times for follow-up care, and waiting times at parent hospitals. The VA anticipates that 2, 200 existing patients and 170 new patients will be treated at the clinic in Hawkins County. The Madison County clinic is expected to treat 2,115 existing patients and 298 new patients. According to the VA, these CBOCs will become operational in 2007 and 2008, and local VA officials will keep communities and their veterans informed of progress in establishing the new clinics. ###

… and now a ballistics match between the Cyclist and the Motorist. This is one of those stories seemingly missed by the national media as the course of time clouds the dot connections.
Back on April 24th the New York Post wrote an article about four incidents where motorists windows were shot out in a similar area in Colorado. The New York Post article was prompted by the shooting of a driver on I-25, Cori Romero (25):
[…] Mystery shootings in northern Colorado have prompted concern that a serial attacker may be targeting highway drivers, police said.
The worst incident occurred late Wednesday on Interstate 25 when a female driver was shot through the neck in Larimer County, authorities said.
"I'm on the highway right now and somebody just hit me and I'm bleeding from the neck and I'm scared," the unidentified woman told a 911 dispatcher, according to ABC News.
In all, there have four incidents in three days on or near I-25, a main north-south highway in Colorado. (link)
However, the incidents continued.
Since the New York Post article there have now been nine suspicious events with motorist windows shattering on/around the I-25 corridor in Colorado over the past month.
This is in addition to the April 22nd shooting where Ms. Romero was shot in the neck while driving on I-25. Fortunately, she survived her injuries.
Then, on May 18th, a man was randomly shot twice and killed while riding his bicycle on Country Road 15, just south of County road 72, in the same vicinity. Read here, for more information on bicycle accidents.
Police have now confirmed a link between the two shootings. According to 7News in Denver the link is a ballistics match. The FBI is now investigating the death of the cyclist, and has offered a $10,000 reward.
However, the police are reluctant to give more information.
"They appear to be random (shootings)," Windsor Police Chief John Michaels said. However, he wouldn't say if he believes a "sniper" is on the loose.
A local news report is available HERE.
Local Media have this timeline summary at the bottom of their report. Yet, the local police are reluctant to say if they have a sniper at large?
- May 19: FBI joins investigation after cyclist shot & killed
- May 18: Bicyclist shot twice and killed in Windsor
- May 14: 22 complaints of shattered windows in April
- May 11: Driver hurt by shattered window; Police blame road debris
- May 1: Larimer County increases patrols
- April 30: 3 more drivers report windows shattering

My beautiful baby!!!
I decided to let the professional handler run him this year. It was hard... I'm very possessive. ;) But I thought it would be good for him and good for me. And I'm glad I did. He was a brat for his braiding, but considering his age and experience, he was fine. He hauled by himself great and was a good boy at the farm. We hung out with the other babies and... he's big!! We got lots of compliments on him and his behavior too!
Then it was our turn. I handed him off and stood back to watch. He was pretty good at first in the conformation part where he had to stand still. For a bit. Then he got bored and started to dance and leap up a bit. Doh! Anke did great with him and got him settled. They started off at the walk and he was a bit fresh. I was cringing when she went to start the trot because I knew what was coming. hee hee... And yep, he cantered. But she was able to get him settled and by the time he hit the third stretch of the triangle...... WOW!!! It was impressive! He floated!
I was giggling because you could hear the crown cringing and tsking while he was being bratty, but then... you heard their jaws drop when he hit that last stretch of the triangle. They went from "tsk tsk" to "oooooohhhh....wow!! Look at that!"!! It was awesome!! Such a proud mommy. :) I even had a few people comment after telling me how lovely he was. Some lady (who I'm going to pretend was a fancy dressage lady, but she very well could have been) ask me what my plans with him were. When I told her eventing, she said "you should consider dressage!". Yay! :) He really was impressive. When I got him back from Anke, I apologized for his behavior. She laughed and said she liked him. She said they show better a little on edge and she was pleased with him. :)
We ended up in third place. We even won money!!! He was a little better behaved in the ring with his ribbon too. I'm so proud of this kid!! I cannot wait til we can really get to work and see how he blossoms!
Here's the video... listen for the sounds of the dropping jaws. ;) You can hear it. ;)
Danny's FEH video
And here's the slow motion version of that trot!!! Yummy
That trot!

Big Dog Working Man's Special
Make Model.
Front Suspension
Rear Suspension
Front Brakes
Rear Brakes
Front Tyre
Rear Tyre
Dry Weight
Fuel Capacity
The Working Man's Special is a low-cost version of the
company's flagship bike, the Traditional Bobber.
Simple and to the point: my test bike was well-built and fun to ride.
Now that that's out of the way, I'll tell you some of the particulars. My
Special was powered by a stock 80″ (1340cc) Harley-Davidson Evo mill fitted with
low-compression (8.5:1) pistons, which meant I could put 2.25 gallons (max) of
any grade of gas in the thing, and it ran fine. The motor is connected to an
Ultima six-speed tranny via a 3″ BDL open belt drive system. As you can see, the
final drive is a standard 530 chain wrapped around a 51-tooth rear sprocket. The
clutch is also from BDL and it, like the primary system, worked like a charm. As
for the Ultima tranny, while it did its job efficiently, it was noisy, shifting
felt a bit clunky, and it was almost impossible to get into neutral once
stopped. However, by the time you read this, Ultima gearboxes are no longer used
on SPS bikes. A RevTech is now standard and you can upgrade to a BAKER
transmission if you choose.
The chassis for the Special, being based on the Traditional, is well-planned and
constructed. Up front, the SPS-proprietary 30-degree rake, no-stretch rigid
frame is held up by a DNA springer that rolls on a Midwest 60-spoke, all-chromed
wheel wrapped with a 3.00-21″ Avon tire. The Special is also available with a
standard tube front end, if that's what you prefer. Out back is a 180/60-16″
Avon wrapped around another all-chromed Midwest 60-spoker. Stopping power up
front is supplied by a four-piston polished HHI caliper grabbing standard issue
11-1/2″ chrome Drag discs. Out back, there's a four-piston, black H-D caliper
doing the hard work. Braking power was definitely adequate, since the Special is
a light bike.
This chassis combo results in a nice handling, 495-pound (dry weight) bike with
a 65″ wheelbase, 4″ of ground clearance, and a 24″ seat height. With numbers
like that, you know even a short stack like me has no problem being flat-footed
at all times, or reaching the forwards. The apes also put my hands in a
comfortable spot, though they were a bit over my shoulders. The sprung seat was
fine during all my short blasts up and down the interstate, as well as around
The only glitch I had during my test was a lighting issue, as in the front right
blinker did not work. But that was fixed in short order by the SPS crew, and the
rest of my test was pleasantly uneventful.

Kosher Grass-Fed Beef
Welcome to the nation's only source of kosher regenerative 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef.
At KOL Foods, we know our cattle and tell you their story. We are committed to transparency, sustainability, animal welfare, your health and offering the most delicious meat on the market.
We believe that all animals should consume diets they were biologically intended to eat and roam freely outdoors. As a result, our beef is raised on open pasture just how nature intended. We strive to convert ranchers to Regenerative Grazing management and though our products, to create financial incentives to help change agriculture. Regenerative ranchers not only positively impact their local ecosystems, but the world at large. Their meat is more nutritious and the animals are treated with dignity.
"Just a little" grain is not the same! Although "just a little" grain may not sound like much, it makes a big difference. Grass-fed beef's benefits disappear after just a short while on grain.
AT: American Tradition Beef
Our American Tradition line of beef is the nation's only source for domestic regenerative 100% grass-fed and grass-finished glatt-kosher beef. Our AT beef is well marbled, more tender and generally graded Prime or Choice.
Our Grassland Range line of beef was our answer to you, our customers, who requested a leaner and more affordable supply of 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef.
Our Old Tradition Cuts are produced from the hindquarters of our US-grown AT Beef according to the strictest standards. Like our AT Beef, these special cuts are well marbled, more tender and generally graded Prime or Choice.
All KOL Foods beef products are glatt kosher [More information]. The hechshers are found on the butcher's label on the back of each package.

Injury most commonly causes eye pain, but many other factors may also cause it. It usually can be described as a sensation of stabbing, throbbing, burning, or aching in or around the eye. In some cases, patients feel a sensation that is like what is perceived when a foreign substance enters the eye. Eye pain that is not related to an injury is not a common complaint, but it may be a symptom of an underlying condition. As a result, it is important to have eye pain evaluated if it is severe, persistent, or causes changes in vision.
Injuries, Infections and Strain
Injuries are by far the most common cause of pain in the eye. Common injuries include corneal abrasions that occur when the surface of the eye is scratched, burns, and contact lens complications. Injuries to the eye may also occur during surgery and cause pain. Aside from injuries, numerous other disorders and complications can result in pain in or around the eye. Common causes include viral infections such as the flu, sinus problems, sties, glaucoma, migraine headaches, pink eye, inflammation of the upper or lower eyelids, or eye infections. In some cases, very mild eye pain may occur as the result of eye strain caused by improper prescription eyewear or extended periods of work.
Primary Physician or Ophthalmologist?
A primary care physician may be able to diagnose and treat eye pain, but patients are often referred to as ophthalmologists of severe injuries or disorders. The eye is carefully examined, and the patient's vision and eye movements are tested. To determine the potential causes your health care providers typically ask a series of questions to learn when the pain started, where it is located, and what factors seem to make the pain worse. Patients are also asked to describe what the pain feels like and if there are any other symptoms. Doctors may need to perform additional tests such as eye pressure checks for glaucoma, fluorescein examination, or slit-lamp examination.
Treatment Options
Because of the potential causes of eye pain vary greatly, there are numerous possible treatments. Antibiotics are often used in treating injuries and infections. Many conditions or injuries can be treated with various eye drops or oral medications. In limited cases, eye surgery may be needed to correct problems. Eye pain can usually be treated without significant complications. When left untreated, however, some injuries and disorders can lead to blindness.

Fly The Flag in NYC For an Independence Day To Remember
Federal holidays in the U.S don't come any bigger or louder than 4th July, otherwise known as Independence Day. In the bulging metropolis of New York – the epicenter for cultural diversity and cutting edge style, July 4th celebrations are bigger and more rambunctious than anywhere else in the country – namely due to it being responsible for the largest celebratory firework display associated with the commemorative date.
Short of rocking up to the archaic Bristol Festival at Rhode Island (the oldest Independence Day Festival in the U.S) New York presents one of the finest cities in which to absorb a little of the patriotic spill-over, with a jam-packed schedule of it's own colorful multi-cultural events.

Ronald LuVoy Jones
Ronald LuVoy Jones, age 80, of Dowling, Michigan, passed away, Sunday, February 19, 2017.
Ronald was born on November 12, 1936, to Earl V and Gertrude (Differding) Jones at their ranch-homestead near Rabbit Creek, Perkins Co., SD. He grew up there and attended the Happy Hill School a couple miles away. Ronnie had to leave school just after starting the 9th grade to help with ranch chores. He worked for the family and several other neighboring ranches preforming such duties as herding cattle and sheep, feeding and tending to cattle and also repairing fences. In 1954, at the age of 17, he joined the U.S. Navy and served during the Korean Conflict on the DD644 USS Stembel-destroyer as a 2nd Class metalsmith.
Upon Ronnie's discharge in 1957, he returned to Lemmon, SD, to do construction. He married his long time sweetheart, Ruth (Toots) Sperle, on August 9, 1958, in Deadwood, SD. On May 10 1959, daughter Belinda was born. While in the Navy, one of the ports Ronnie was stationed at was San Diego, CA, so after their daughter was born they headed back to California. Ronnie worked for Arrowhead Puritas. Then Ron went to barber college in Salt Lake City, UT. By June 2, 1961, they returned to Lemmon to have their son, Stacy. Next stop on these traveler's destinations was Billings, MT, where Ron continued to barber. Barbering was not Ronnie's passion. In 1962, they headed to Kimball, Neb., where he started with the iron workers working on the missile sites. Iron working also took him to Michigan City, IN, Battle Creek, MI, and finally settling down in Dowling, MI.
Ron was a lifetime Union Iron Worker for Local 340/25, retiring in 1995. After retirement, Ron and Ruth continued their desire for traveling heading to Texas and multiple trips back to South Dakota in their motor home. Ronnie enjoyed family, dancing, fishing, reading westerns, rodeos, always had a large garden, and loved to watch his humming birds. He was also a member of the VFW and American Legion.
Grateful for sharing his life are his wife, Ruth; daughter, Belinda (Keith) Morgan; son Stacy Jones; grandchildren, Darcy (Ben) Staton, Chad Jones, Misty Jones, Dustin (Alisha) Morgan, Blake Jones, great-grandchildren, Lillian and Caden Jones, and special family friend, Vanna Huver. He also leaves a brother, Clinton Casey Jones, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters Ester Schley, Alice Hall, and brother's Lawrence, George, Glen, and Gilbert.
We prayed for him not to suffer, and God granted our wishes as he left peacefully in his home with his loved ones.
A graveside service with military honors was conducted Friday, February 24, 2017, 2:00 pm at Fort Custer National Cemetery, 15501 Dickman Rd, Augusta, MI, 49012. Ronald's family will receive friends, Saturday, February 25, 2017, 11:00 am to 12:00 pm at Hickory Corners Bible Church where his Memorial service was conducted at 12:00 pm. Pastor Jeff Worden officiated.
In lieu of flowers please consider memorial contributions to the West Michigan Cancer Center or the Wounded Warrior Project. Please visit www.williamsgoresfuneral.com to share a memory or to leave a condolence message for Ronald's family.

My Mum picked up this second-hand Oobi top for Lily... she looooves it but it looked so much like a strawberry, it just made me laugh!
So of course I had to nickname her Strawberry Shortcake for the day (and explain who that was to her!)... nothing like kid's clothes with a bit of humour and a lot of cuteness!
