Ransomware attacks against healthcare organizations increased 89% in 2017.
That's according to CryptoniteNXT Healthcare Cyber Research Report for 2017. All of the six largest attacks against healthcare organizations recorded in 2017 by the Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (HHS OCR) were attributed to ransomware. So far in 2018, healthcare organizations continue to be a favorite target of ransomware attackers, with ransom demands climbing higher than ever. In addition to the ransom cost, many recent ransomware attacks have brought healthcare systems down for weeks with impacts well beyond the IT sphere, including patient health and safety.
Ben Stone, Supervisory Special Agent, Cyber provides insight into current ransomware trends from the FBI's perspective. Barbara Holland, Regional Manager of HHS Office for Civil Rights discusses OCR's approach to ransomware cases, and the regulator's perspective. Sean Hoar, Partner at Lewis Brisbois and Chair of the firm's Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice shares his experience as outside counsel for the nearly daily stream of ransomware cases and Ben Goodman, CEO of 4A Security & Compliance moderates the discussion and provides insights based on his work helping organizations prepare for and respond to ransomware incidents from the cybersecurity consultant's perspective.
What they cover:
What does the FBI Cyber Squad see as the current trends in ransomware?
What is the regulatory perspective and how does HHS OCR handle HIPAA enforcement ransomware attacks on healthcare organizations?
What is unique about ransomware attacks against healthcare organizations from the perspective of outside counsel?
What makes one healthcare organization more vulnerable to a damaging ransomware attack than another, from the cybersecurity perspective?
What should counsel do to help healthcare organizations prepare for a ransomware attack?
What are the best recommendations for organizations to keep in mind when responding to a ransomware attack?

Dear Members,
Henry Ford once said "whether you think you can or can't, you're right." I believe in this quote he was wryly observing that our thoughts become a self-fulfilling prophecy. In recent years 'self talk' has been the subject of research in many fields, one of them being athletic performance. It has been found that improving the quality of your self talk can have a direct impact and improvement on your performance. So next time you're at training this week, think about how you are thinking and what you are saying to yourself when you're trying something new or hard, and when you are motivating yourself. Do you beat yourself up if you don't get it first time, or are you kind, positive and encouraging?
You can read a bit more about self talk in our latest TKD Tools for Success article - the last article in our series on mental skills for Taekwon-Do.

Yonaguni is a small Southern Japanese island that has remarkable underwater features off its coast, at depths as little as 20 feet in places. They have led to continuous debate since their accidental discovery in 1995. The conventional wisdom is that the monolithic formations are natural in origin and composed of granitic sandstone. Dr. Robert Schoch, who twice visited and dived at the site, supports this view.
However, there is a persistent claim that the enormous edifices are in fact the remains of an ancient sunken city. This school of thought is led by Masaaki Kimura, a marine geologist from the University of the Ryukyus, who has been diving and studying at the site for over 15 years. Some have gone as far as to claim that the site as that of the lost city of Mu, a Pacific counterpart of Atlantis.
*Carl Feagans has published an extensive article debunking Masaaki's claims(a) .

Brawn tribe member Alecia Holden has become the fifth castaway to be eliminated from Survivor: Kaôh Rōng – Brains vs. Beauty vs. Brawn.
The 23-year-old Real Estate agent from Dallas, Texas was voted out after the Brawn tribe lost their third immunity challenge of the season. Alecia was clearly on the bottom of her tribe and had a tumultuous relationship with Jason and Scot, to say the least. Despite her never give up attitude it wasn't enough to win her tribemates over.
Alecia received three votes from Cydney, Jason, and Scot. Alecia voted for Scot.

This WhisperGreen Panasonic bathroom fan features built-in intelligence called SmartFlow Optimum CFM Technology. This unique electronic-brain lets the bathroom fan do what was once thought to be impossible, perform at a constant CFM regardless of elbows and other factors that might hinder performance. Basically, when a WhisperGreen bathroom fan faces static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure that the desired CFM is actually achieved. This allows the bathroom fan to perform as rated and makes for easier installation because the installer no longer has to worry as much about compromising the bathroom fan performance.
Quiet Motor Means Quiet Operation
Panasonic is the first ventilation fan manufacturer to incorporate a DC motor in residential mechanical ventilation fans. The WhisperGreen(tm) series incorporates a totally enclosed DC motor designed for extremely quiet, energy-efficient operation. The permanently lubricated motor is also engineered for trouble-free, continuous run for several years.
ENERGY STAR(R)-Qualified for Energy Savings
ENERGY STAR(R)-qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The ENERGY STAR program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. As an ENERGY STAR partner, all of our fans are ENERGY STAR-qualified and labeled accordingly.Features:

There are many property agents on the Costa del Sol, why should you choose Altavista?
It's a valid question and you wouldn't find us saying that we're the only good estate agents in Marbella, but Altavista Property does belong to a select group of companies that ranks among the very best because of the reputation they have built up for knowing the market, its properties and professional modern processes of luxury real estate marketing and client service like no other.
We belong to this group of leading real estate agents in Marbella because we have worked very hard to be considered – by clients and peers alike – as a serious, professional company that puts its expertise at the disposal of clients, regardless of whether you are in the market for a holiday apartment, a luxurious villa or a significant investment opportunity.
It is this consistency of standards that we are proud of, so we guard it jealously through the kind of corporate procedures, selective hiring policy and ongoing staff training you would expect of a serious company. Not surprisingly, we are the only ISO 9001 accredited real estate agent in Marbella, and just in the past few years have received official recognition through awards such as the OPP Gold award for Best Real Estate Agent 2011, the Overseas Living Best Real Estate Award 2011, the Best Real Estate Website Spain and Europe awards in 2012 and Highly Commended Real Estate Agency Spain 2012, all in recognition of the results we achieved in promoting La Resina Golf & Country Club, and the manner in which it was done.
More recent awards include the Highly Commended Award for Real Estate Agency Website category for Spain 2014 and a Five Star Award for Real Estate Agency Website category for Spain 2014, which were recently received. Indeed, Altavista's list of professional references is long, and includes not only clients but also developers, banks and law firms.
You can entrust your property search or the selling of your home to us because this is exactly what the leading property developers and banks in the region have been doing for some time now.
Indeed, as a leading agency, Altavista Property is recognised as a specialist in the promotion of new real estate developments in the greater Marbella area.
Our track record speaks for itself, and has made us a serious partner for the most important real estate developers and financial entities in this area, which in turn enables us to negotiate the kind of prices, financing and purchasing conditions that put you, the buyer first.
Altavista is a company that understands the contemporary property market and how best to promote and market homes both locally and abroad, yet at the heart of all of this there has to be a commitment to buyer and seller alike.
Ours is first and foremost a service industry, and we provide a service to both parties. Indeed, our job is to bring vendor and homebuyer together, if the property, the price and the conditions are right.
We take this task seriously and use not only modern marketing tools, management structures and technology to be highly effective and efficient in doing so, but also never forget that real estate is not about marketing, nor even about houses – it's about providing people with a personal service.
Contact us with your property requirements and test our way of working for yourself.

Spectators at a Rural Game
August 15, 2013 § Leave a comment
This snapshot — more or less evenly split between the game action (or perhaps infield practice?) and a small group of spectators, with what looks like a distant farmhouse visible past the head of the person standing towards the left of the crowd — has a simple beauty, I feel. It's also interesting to me in that it shows that split, Ty Cobb-like grip in use. I've always wondered how common that actually was (and how long it was used), especially after seeing some film of Ty Cobb in which he started with his hands apart, but then seemed to bring them together as he swung. This person clearly finished his swing with them still held apart. I have enlarged a section with the batter so it can be better seen.

Jack Clements: Left-Handed Catcher
June 14, 2013 § Leave a comment
Jack Clements played from 1884-1900, and is regarded as being the last left-hander to catch regularly, as well as the first to wear a chest protector. I hope he also — at least eventually — wore a glove. According to this excellent overview of the history of the baseball mitt, the first confirmed use of a glove was in 1875, and by the 1890s wearing one was the norm.
When Clements passed away in 1941, his obituary in the New York Times read in its entirety: "NORRISTOWN, PA., May 24 (AP) — Jack Clements, former left-handed catcher who played with the Phillies, St. Louis Nationals and Cleveland Spiders in the Eighteen Nineties, died yesterday after an illness of six weeks. His age was 76."
Too Big a Bat
June 12, 2013 § Leave a comment
This boy's "grip" is of course not really a grip, but players of the era did sometimes employ — as it would appear George Pinkney did, from the previous post's photos — a wide grip for better bat control. Ty Cobb famously claimed he could hit more home runs if he so chose, and he appears to have abandoned his classic grip at times to generate more power. From a piece on baseball bats at sabr.org:
"In 1920 and 1927, Babe Ruth hit more home runs than every other team in the American League. On May 5, 1925, however, Ty Cobb put up power numbers that even the great Ruth couldn't muster. Frustrated with the publicity Ruth's slugging had garnered, Cobb commented to a reporter that hitting home runs was not as hard as it looked. He declared that he too would start trying to swing for the fences. With a new mindset and a hands-together grip, Cobb went 6-for-6 that day, with two singles, a double, and three home runs, giving him sixteen total bases—still an American League record (shared with several others) for a nine-inning game. The next day, Cobb hit two more home runs, totaling five in two days—still a major-league record. Satisfied he had proved his point, Cobb returned to his familiar grip and style: trying to get base hits instead of hit home runs."
George Pinkney, Ironman
June 8, 2013 § 3 Comments
George Pinkney played major league baseball from 1884 to 1893, for teams such as the Cleveland Blues, Brooklyn Grays/Bridegrooms/Trolley Dodgers and the Louisville Colonels. He is the player whose record for most consecutive innings played (5,152, from 1885-1890) was broken by Cal Ripkin, Jr. in 1985. (Note that this was a different statistic than the consecutive-games record Ripkin set when he bested Lou Gehrig's streak of 2,130 in 1995.) Interestingly, I have seen Pinkney listed as both a left- and right-handed hitter in different places (but not a switch hitter) — perhaps explaining (or explained by?) the photos from each side of the plate?
C.M. Gilbert and William Bacon were well-known photographers in Philadelphia beginning in the 1870s; their studio was located at 830 Arch Street, with a second (from 1886) at 1030 Chestnut Street.
Frank Chance by Paul Thompson
June 4, 2013 § Leave a comment
Frank Chance was, of course, the first baseman in the famous Chicago Cubs' double-play trio of Tinkers to Evers to Chance. He was also the team's manager from 1905 to 1912, and in fact his winning percentage of .667 is still a franchise record.
This circa 1910 photo — part of a series of portraits used for a set of baseball cards issued by the American Tobacco company in 1911 — was done by New York freelance photographer Paul Thompson. According to a 2009 article by Harry Katz on smithsonianmag.com, not much is known of Thompson: "Even such basic biographical information as the dates of his birth and death is hard to establish. But some two dozen of his player portraits survive in the Library of Congress, bringing to life the subjects' determination, their enduring passion for a physical game and the ravages of a lifestyle that predated the luxury travel, sophisticated equipment and personal trainers of today."
It is a striking image. Thompson had a studio at 10 Spruce Street, but according to Katz, he took the photos "against rough wooden backdrops at New York's ballparks. With a shallow depth of field and an unsentimental lens, he brought out in sharp relief the players' leathery faces and steel-eyed stares, capturing their pride, their toughness and the effects of extended exposure in the field. The rough dignity of his portraits survived the translation into color prints on cardboard."
Harry "Peanuts" Lowrey & Outfield Advertising
May 21, 2013 § Leave a comment
This snapshot of Peanuts Lowrey would date from the early 1950s, as he played for the Cardinals from 1950 to 1954. One of the reasons I like it is for the signs on the outfield wall, something you just don't see very much anymore. (And when you do, like currently at Dodger Stadium, it isn't, of course, at all the same.)
Lowrey was born in the Los Angeles area and apparently worked as a child actor for a time. He also set a record with seven consecutive pinch hits while playing for the Cardinals in 1952.

A Loving Heart

Hello Everyone
I promise this isn't too long a post, a few photographs but short on words as I know, even though we have said goodbye to Christmas 2015, it is still a busy time of the year.
One of the gifts I made this Christmas is this pendant, centred around a Prima Relics and Artifacts' heart – have I mentioned how much I have fallen in love with this range of products!!! I knew the style I had in mind so I had a root amongst some of my favourite stamps from The Stampsmith, which I am sad to say, haven't been inked up for a wee while. After the lengthy decision of which image would best suit the shape of the heart I opted for this, one of my all time favourite Stampsmith stamps (with Ophelia possibly being my absolute favourite Stampsmith stamp.)
Frescos helped me achieve the look I was aiming for on the heart, almost a stone like appearance,with simple embellishments of beautiful vintage lace and rhinestones and a pearl all set on a long chain with a decorative closure.
There is a little secret to this pendant. Flip it over and there is a message on the rear. The wearer doesn't need to display this side of the heart but kept close to her heart she will remember that many, many people know she has a loving heart and a dear friend to so many.
(The words above are from PaperArtsy Eclectica ESN (Sara Naumann) along with stamped music score which I quickly distressed before heat setting and sealing. Also, if you are interested in the Relic and Artifacts heart, you can source some of the product range at PaperArtsy.
I hope to squeeze in one more blog post for 2015 which I will share on Hogmanay. Until then, many thanks for your visit to this blog post.
Sparkle, Glisten, Gleam (The Stampers' Sampler)

Hello Everyone
In this post I am sharing one of the cards I have published in the latest issue of The Stampers' Sampler, a card I submitted to the Holiday Happenings Challenge Call.
If you are a regular visitor then you probably recognise the stamp on this card, She Loves Snowflakes , as I have already shared a wee hanging with this stamp, HERE.
This card has a very simple colour palette of Kraft, winter white and black but it also has lots of sparkle and shimmer!
Stencilled snowflakes with one of my all time favourite mediums for artwork relating to this time of the year, which can be found here at That's Crafty, Maimeri Iridescent Paste. This is the paste I have been using on all the mittens I've made recently.The sparkle appears in different forms, some I cannot now remember (!) but there is definitely Crystal Glamour Dust (DecoArt), Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Mica Flakes (both available from That's Crafty) and a dash of vintage glass glitter.
The sentiments are from another wonderful Redlead stamp, HERE, Stamp Some Tape:- Snowflakes and Christmas Greeting. It is such a brilliant idea of two stamps in a set with the idea that you can stamp your own tape. So one design is snowflakes and the other is Christmas Greeting. Click the link to discover what they actually look like. With the Christmas Greeting stamp it means you can stamp it to appear as a piece of tape or as I did for this card, stamp onto cardstock (Kraft painted with Gesso) and then cut into strips.It looks as though I still have a fair few festive posts to share with you. I might hold the more winter themed posts to share into the New Year. Funny how to my mind, once Christmas is over and done with, I seem to think it has to be the end of all winter artwork, moving in my mind onto more Spring like style or Valentine's yet it will still be the middle of winter in my part of the world!
(At the time of drafting this blog post, Redlead had a Christmas Greetings discount code of 30%)
She Loves Snowflakes

Hello Everyone
All of a sudden it feels as though Christmas is nearly here and the realisation that I still have a few festive pieces to share.
Last year I was lucky enough to receive some beautiful Redlead Paperwork Christmas themed stamps to play with, including She Loves Snowflakes.
With this delightful stamp with the sweetest little girl surrounded by a flurry of pretty snowflakes, I made this wee hanging. The handmade paper, with the little white dots, brought to mind snow and when torn it created the fluffiest of edges, perfect for adding some softness to the panel and as a way of tying in with the stamped image, with the snowflake background. To add to the flurry I also scattered diamond glass glitter and a dash of the teeniest tiniest pearl stickers.This lovely sentiment is available on this particular set HERE (also from Redlead Paperworks). I so love this set because the sentiments are just a little bit different to the normal Christmas/festive greetings. I've been dipping into this set many times for Christmas 2015. I can just imagine this sweet girl donning her pristine ice skates to skate on the local frozen lake with her friends, catching falling snowflakes on their tongues. I can almost hear their giggles ringing sweetly through the frosty air!Sharon and Chris at Redlead are so productive, they are constantly releasing new products whether new stamps, collage sheets, chipboard or wooden items. Their on-line store is a treasure trove of goodies.
Many thanks for your visit. I always appreciate them.

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune. One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. "I may look like just an ordinary guy," he said to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die and I will inherit $200 million." Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother. Women are so much better at financial planning than men.
A retired South Dakota teacher now living down south for the winter shared that story with me. I don't know whether it was he or his wife who planned to spend the cold winter days down south, but someone did. Due to their planning they are enjoying warm days in their retirement years. Planning is a good thing. As the saying goes, "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail." It is a true statement.
This Sunday two talented football teams will meet and I'm certain the each team has a game plan that is designed for them to win and not to fail. In the military we spend a lot of time planning. We even have the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) which is a super detailed planning process. The plan takes into account facts, figures and even assumptions in order to come up with the best course of action (COA) in order to achieve the goal which is to win the battle.
We plan to succeed, but if a person's plan for retirement is based on winning the lottery, all one can say is "good luck" because you will need it. Wise planning doesn't depend on "luck". Wise planning doesn't depend on "inheriting" wealth, because as the earlier story illustrated, inheritances don't always go the way we think they will. The truth is wise planners gather information, evaluate the risk, and listen to advisors as they make plans for their future whether that future includes retirement, or buying a house, or choosing a career. But, if we are truly concerned about our future, then we should also plan for the future after this life is over.
The truth is all of us will die. Death is real. The scriptures state the reason for death is sin. "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23) we will die and then what? What is our plan for the hereafter? As a member of the Christian faith, I know I have a future, and the best part is that my future doesn't depend on me. In fact if it did I would have no hope. But the key to my future is God's gift of His Son who came to be my Savior. Jesus said it this way, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
Because of God's amazing promise I and all who trust in Jesus have a future beyond this world. As a believer we not only make plans, but we start by asking God to bless our decisions and plans. That doesn't mean God will make all our dreams come true but we live knowing that we have a loving Lord and Savior who promises to be with us no matter what troubles or obstacles we face. We know that God is watching over us and knowing that we can move forward into this New Year with confidence, making plans and decisions based on facts and figures, but most of all based on knowing God is with us now and forever and that nothing can separate us from Him, because He is all powerful. Now I know not everyone believes God's promises, but without God what kind of future does one have beyond the grave, beyond tomorrow? Without God what's the plan?
That's just my thoughts from this SE corner of South Dakota CH (COL) David Gunderson

text: Learn more with The Ultimate Guide to the Six Traits of Writing Motivate Young Writers with Holiday Topics FAQ: What are ways to use the upcoming holidays to spur on my young writers? ANSWER: When the holidays draw closer, young students often get so wrapped up in the excitement that they struggle to stay focused on their learning. Rather than deny them this normal reaction, let's use it to spur on their writing. Here are four favorite ideas that motivate students to write even more in the weeks leading up to the winter holiday. IDEA #1 PK-K students could draw and label a picture of Santa... or they could paint and label Santa! Kindergarteners in Maria Bachuchin's class at Bailly Elementary (Chesterton, IN) used their knowledge of pictorial writing to "draw" Santa with paint instead of crayons. They painted Santa one day and labeled him on another. Painting is a great motivator for young writers and could be applied to a variety of different holiday items (e.g., Christmas tree, the North Pole, etc.). IDEA #2 If students have a solid understanding of phonics, invite them to generate holiday-based lists. Provide a photo as inspiration and ask them to list everything they see in the scene. This activity allows students to continue to work on sound-stretch spelling, writing on a line, and precise vocabulary and word choice. IDEA #3 If students are already writing single sentences, then this third idea might be just what you're looking for. Kindergarten teacher Maria Bachuchin set Twinkle the elf in front of students. Naturally, they had lots of questions. What is that? What's his name? Whose is that? How old is it? Rather than answering their numerous questions, Maria simply said, "Let's write these questions down." For several days, students wrote questions to Twinkle. Maria planned this activity to coincide with instruction about writing question sentences. (TIP: Maria made sure that Twinkle replied. Of course, that only prompted students to write even more!) IDEA #4 If students are already writing multiple sentences, target simple opinion writing. Utilize the three blackline masters below and tape them to create a WHAT-WHY-HOW product. Within the first sentence students write/draw WHAT they would like to receive this holiday season. Within the second sentence students write/draw WHY they want it. Within the third sentence students write/draw HOW they would feel if they received this gift. All four of these ideas could be easily adapted to any holiday or seasonal topic. In fact, if you check out the "Related Posts" connected to this video article, you'll find a few more ideas that would be very appropriate this holiday season.

TheraNatal Core Preconception Vitamins (90 day supply)
TheraNatal Core Daily Preconception Vitamin supports fertility health for any woman trying to conceive.*
TheraNatal Core Preconception Vitamins (90 day supply)
Contains Quatrefolic (methylated folate), 2,000 IU of vitamin D3, choline, iodine, and other essential nutrients to prepare your body for pregnancy.
TheraNatal Core provides the optimized dose of nutrients for preconception and early pregnancy with higher vitamin D, lower iron, and methylated folate.
TheraNatal Core is free from artificial dyes and certified gluten-free.
Made in the USA. Independently tested and certified by NSF, in a cGMP registered facility.
A preconception prenatal for any woman trying to conceive.
Just one tablet a day will provide you with all the core nutrients you need while trying to conceive and during early pregnancy.
TheraNatal Core Preconception Vitamins (90 day supply)
Take one tablet per day with food.
Artificial Dye-free. Gluten-free.
TheraNatal Core is a daily preconception prenatal for any woman trying to conceive.* It is designed specifically to prepare your body for pregnancy, with 1,000 mcg (1 mg) of folate, 2,000 IU of vitamin D3, 100 mg of choline, 220 mcg of iodine, and other fertility focused ingredients.
Q. Should I continue taking TheraNatal Core once I find out I'm pregnant?
Yes. TheraNatal Core supports your nutrient needs while you are trying to conceive and during early pregnancy (through your first trimester). Before beginning your second trimester, it is best to switch to a prenatal vitamin designed for pregnancy, like TheraNatal One or TheraNatal Complete.
Q. What is the difference between TheraNatal Core and TheraNatal OvaVite?
TheraNatal Core is a daily preconception tablet for any woman trying to conceive.
TheraNatal OvaVite is comprised of the TheraNatal Core tablet PLUS two coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) softgels. CoQ10 is a nutrient that supports mitochondrial energy production for improved egg quality.* Egg quality declines with age, women in their mid-30s and beyond may want to consider TheraNatal OvaVite.
Q. Can I take other nutritional supplements along with TheraNatal Core?
Yes. Certain other supplements can be taken along with TheraNatal Core (like omega-3 fish oil or other single-nutrient fertility supplements such as DHEA, inositol, and others). However, do not take any type of multivitamin or other prenatal while taking TheraNatal Core.
Q: Can I take TheraNatal Core if I'm allergic to shellfish?
Yes. There is no shellfish in TheraNatal Core. If you have reacted to radiocontrast material or antiseptics which contain iodine, you may still be able to safely take TheraNatal Core even though it contains iodine. These reactions are commonly confused with sensitivity to iodine or shellfish, though studies have shown that they are not related.
Q. Does TheraNatal Core interact with any prescription medications or other supplements?
Yes. TheraNatal Core may affect the absorption of certain prescription medications.
Separate by at least 2 hours:
Dilantin (phenytoin)
Levofloxacin (Levaquin)
Oral bisphosphonates (i.e., Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva, and Didronel)
Penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen)
Sotalol (Betapace)
Separate by at least 4 hours:
Tetracycline antibiotics (doxycycline, minocycline, demeclocycline)
Thyroid hormone (levothyroxine, Synthroid)
Separate by at least 6 hours:
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
Check with your doctor due if you take the following medications:
Anticonvulsant medications
Moxifloxacin (Avelox)
Chemotherapy medications
CYP34 substrates
Thiazide diuretics (hydrochlorothiazide)
Coumadin(warfarin): Studies show that the low dose (100 mcg) of vitamin K is unlikely to affect INR, and may help stabilize INR levels.
Dietary supplements:
Do not take TheraNatal Core with other multivitamins or prenatal vitamins. If you take a single-nutrient supplement (such as calcium), check your total intake from all supplements, including TheraNatal Core, to ensure you do not take more than the safe upper limit of the nutrient.
If you still have questions about TheraNatal Core, please visit the general FAQ page.
Feel free to reach out to the Nutrition Department by phone at (888) 899-3899 ext. 2 or by email here.

Our Best Sellers
I am Professor Neil Barron, the founder and inventor of Litelok, a former Aeronautical Engineer (Rolls-Royce aero engines), designer and keen cyclist. After having several bicycles stolen on the streets of London, and fed up with having to carry around heavy bike locks, I thought there must be a way to create a high-security, lightweight bike lock. Many cyclists I spoke to agreed that it didn't seem right that as bicycles were getting lighter and lighter, secure bike locks were getting heavier and heavier.
Our history
The development of litelok
After years of research, development and testing, my team and I created and patented a new composite material called Boaflexicore. It is made of layers of innovative materials that keep Liteloks lightweight but difficult to cut or break. Each layer provides additional security, meaning it can withstand sustained attack from tools like bolt croppers, crowbars and hacksaws. The locking mechanism is made from hardened steel and is very difficult to pick. This is also patented.
Funding future development
In March 2015 we ran a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, raising over £232,000. This helped turn the Litelok idea into a reality. We have built on this early success, now offering Liteloks all over the world. I am delighted to announce that as of August 2017 we have secured a seven figure co-investment from Finance Wales and a syndicate of Business Angels. Supplemented by other early stage funding which came from the European Regional Development Fund, through the SMARTCymru programme, this investment will allow us to invest in high-tech manufacturing in South Wales, as well as sales, marketing and product development.

Every year hundreds of needy families in the Lehigh Valley have their Christmas made a little merrier by the Spirit of the Lehigh Valley.
For the past 18 years, the non-profit organization has hosted more than 4,000 people each year at a Christmas Eve dinner where they are treated to a holiday banquet and gifts including toys for all the children. But this year the dinner is facing a shortage of toys because Toys for Tots, the charity run by the U.S. Marines Corps Reserves, has said they may not be able to provide toys for the annual event.
Toys for Tots recently announced they will have to cut back on the toys they distribute because there are more than double the children in need as last year and donations of toys have stayed flat.
"We are in dire need of toys," says George Pitsilos, the coordinator of the Spirit of the Lehigh Valley.
He says in the past years, the majority of the toys - more than 2000 - have been donated by Toys for Tots, with the rest coming from local businesses, schools and families. Pitsilos says he was notified by Toys for Tots this year that they can't "guarantee any toys this year" for the Spirit of the Lehigh Valley.
"So here I am a week out and not knowing if we will have any toys for the children," Pitsilos says. "The need is great."
Pitsilos is appealing to the community to donate new unwrapped toys to give to children at the dinner that is only a week away. Toys can be dropped off at the Holiday Inn Conference Center, I -78 and Route 100 South, Breingisville. He also can be contacted for donations at 610-530-4604.
Families are referred from over 35 social agencies from Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton to attend the dinner at the Holiday Inn Conference Center.
The event includes live entertainment, winter clothing, including hats, scarves, and mittens for those in need and a Winter Wonderland with Santa Claus giving toys to the children. Children also receive a new book from Cops N Kids literacy program and a stuffed animal from the Allentown Toy Company.
Pitsilos says this year nearly 5,000 people are expected at the dinner.
" We are in good shape with food items thanks to local companies like Jandl's, Coca Cola, Nestle Waters, and the Lehigh Valley Safari Club," he says.

Holborn Studios has a new Location Support facility in Cyprus. The island was selected because "it is a microcosm of world location photography". All the pictures featured here were shot on the island.
It takes about three hours to cross from one of the island to the other by car. This, together with more than 300 dry, sunny days a year, and a very co-operative local attitude make it easy to get good location pictures.
Holborn Studios' fleet of vehicles includes a motor yacht and specially equipped Land Rover Defender and an assortment of people carriers. After flying in to Larnaca, you will be met at the arrivals hall and accompanied throughout the trip. The St Raphael Marina Resort provides excellent accommodation and facilities, and has central access to the whole island.

Gabrielle Giffords kicks off gun control campaign by shooting at firing range
Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., is reigniting her push for a federal law expanding background checks on gun purchases but with a strong emphasis on the idea that gun owners like herself should get behind stronger regulations.
To kick off her seven-day "Rights and Responsibilities Tour" on Monday, Giffords visited a shooting range in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"I am taking this week to pay tribute to the Second Amendment -- both the rights it bestows and the responsibilities it requires," Giffords wrote in a USA Today op-ed published late Monday. "In these divisive political times, gun safety and gun rights are too often pitted against each other. But Americans can meet in the middle. Now all we need is for our elected leaders to meet us there."
- Colorado gun laws go into effect facing immediate backlash
- Newtown families relaunch gun control push
Giffords' seven-day tour stops in seven states, as the website for the campaign says, "to thank senators who voted in favor of the [background check] bill - and to show those who voted against it that there is broad public support in their states for them to change their votes."
The tour stops in Nevada, Alaska, New Hampshire and North Dakota, which are all represented by at least one senator who voted against the failed background check expansion in April. However, according to polling commissioned by Americans for Responsible Solutions, the gun safety group Giffords founded, there is strong public support for expanded background checks in each of those states.
Giffords is also stopping in Ohio, home to Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who voted for the bill, and Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who voted against it. She visits North Carolina, where Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., voted for it and Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., voted against it. Finally, she visits Maine -- the state's Republican Sen. Susan Collins and independent Sen. Angus King both voted for it.
Since the Senate rejected the background check bill in April, gun control has gone nowhere in Congress, even though the families of gun violence victims have kept up public pressure on Washington.
Giffords acknowledged in her USA Today op-ed that she may seem like an "unlikely advocate" for gun rights since she herself sustained horrible injuries after the 2011 mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz.
"But I'm a patriot, and I believe the right to bear arms is a definitive part of our American heritage," she wrote. The former congresswoman wrote she supports background checks because, "As gun owners, my husband and I understand that the Second Amendment is most at risk when a criminal or deranged person commits a gun crime."

I know, I know I said I wasnt going to buy anymore makeup and start making sure that I used up what I had... well clearly I didnt stick with that and picked up this beaut while having a casual browse in boots. But who can blame me, look at how pretty it is! I couldnt just wander past the stand and ignore it!
This is the No7 Vital Enlightening Highlighting powder which is part of the limited edition Floral Brights collection by Lisa Eldridge, it became avaliable on the 25th January so the chances are if you pop into your local boots you will be able to purchase one!
Unlike the lipsticks in the collection this powder did not come in a box, however the No7 stands are always immaculate so I knew that there wouldnt be any damages to the product or the packaging be messy so all was good! The packaging itself is really nice, i love the floral details on the top of the compact, Inside houses a large mirror which is a bonus, I really dislike compacts that dont have a mirror in for some reason! If the outside is pretty it's going to mean the product itself is pretty in my books and No7 delivered. Its a gorgeous peach toned velvety powder with subtle shimmer to provide you with the most perfect highlight! I LOVE how it is in the pan, so pretty! I'm a sucker for any makeup product that is a bit three dimensional, so that was a bonus!
When swatched the highlighter gives a really nice healthy glow to your skin, the shimmer/glitter isnt chunky at all which I find can be a bit of a problem with some highlighters. It's such a versitile product, not only is it great to highlight your cheekbones and under the brows it could also be worn as a subtle eyeshadow. A quick sweep of this across your eyelid and some winged eyeliner and you'd be good to go!
It retails at £13.00 which I feel isnt bad for 10g of product compared to other prices some highlighting powders avaliable. There are some other bits in the collection which are well worth a look at, There is a 5 shade eyeshadow palette, which was mainly neutrals, 2 cream blushes which looked quite bright in the pan but when swatched and blended they werent so scary! Then two lipsticks, one in a bright barbie pink shade and the other was a coral pink. If I'm honest I would have picked up the bright pink lippy as it was so beautiful but I limited myself to the one item as I am trying to use my makeup up afterall!
So will you be picking up this highlighter or maybe something else in the collection (FYI the 3 for 2 offer is on at the moment) I know Charli has already, solely on a text message I sent her! (I'm such an enabler!) To be honest its too pretty to say no to, right?
Much Love

Cathy Rowan - Focusing Member in west midlands
Personal Statement about Training Program:
I work with people individually, by phone and by Skype.
I am passionate about Focusing as it has transformed my life. Prior to a car accident in 1999 I worked in the field of acquired brain injury and I now use my knowledge of neuroscience to support my practice and work.
For over 10 years my life was severely restricted by a chronic pain condition and my life was about micro-managing the pain. Then I discovered Focusing: it has guided me in the process of releasing layers of old trauma locked in my body and so finding a path to wellbeing and thriving. This is an ongoing journey.
Focusing is the heart of all I do professionally. I combine it with Mindfulness, Reiki, Neuro-education and Positive Psychology. All my work is about helping people live more fully in their body and become more fully who they are.
A Sample of my Work: I write an occasional blog: http://livinglifeonebreatheatatime.blogspot.co.uk/ My Publications: Self in Presence:
The Transformative Agent in Healing Chronic Pain http://focusingresources.com/downloads/SELF-IN-PRESENCE-Final.pdf
What I'm Doing Now
What I do:
I am trained in teaching Mindfulness and Reiki and use these to support the Focusing process when appropriate as well as my applied neuroscience background.
Areas of particular interest include:
Twelve Step work
Neuro-education in connection with cultivating health and wellbeing
In particular I find my approach can help people with the following challenges in their lives
Chronic pain and other medical conditions including addiction
Traumatic grief

Deutsche Übersetzung dauert noch ein wenig.
Celebrating their newly released single Chance, you can now read the Interview with Changing Clocks. Check http://changingclocks.com/chance-free-download to download the new single.
Great that you found the time for the interview! And good job on getting out that new single. Let me start with the first few questions: The two lead singers in your band do a pretty good job at complementing each other. How did you get together? Is Changing Clocks the first and, for now, only project for everyone involved?
Thanks. Matt Rod put together the band in 2008. It had been through various forms with different members. Erika Cole is actually a country singer but when Matt heard her he knew the she'd be great for his music, so he called her and Erika happily agreed to perform the music. Everyone is fully dedicated to Changing Clocks. However, we are also all involved very much in other musical projects too. Seth Botos is currently organising a music festival in Boston, Carl Eisman is a working jazz guitarist, Matthew Edwards is too and plays with the Dropkick Murphys when they are in Boston, Erika performs in a wedding band, Matt is president of the Berklee Music Business club and always collaborating with others, and we all play in any bands we think are worth it!
Since you release a new Single this thursday, could you tell us more about it? How did the song come about and how long did it take to work on that song?
The song is called Chance. It actually came about as a follow up to the song Anne. In a way, it is a continuation of that story. A love affair between 'Anne' and 'Chance', hence the dialogue between both vocalists in verses of 'Chance' and the somewhat similar harmony (on occasion) in the choruses of both. The song was recorded quite some time ago, but because of University life and gigging we hadn't had time to finish it. Matt Rod went back home this summer to South Africa, and was able to finish recording all the guitars, editing, and mixing the whole song in his room. Overall it took about 6 months, but we were not working on it most of the time!
While we are at it: How would you describe the creative process of writing a song? Where do you get your inspiration from? Is this a collaborative process or do you have clear defined roles when working on a song?
In Changing Clocks, Matt Rod writes all the music. It's a group he put together with a very specific vision and sound in mind, and each person contributes with their performance of the music. Matt writes all the stuff.
How come that your first EP was recorded in Boston and South Africa?
We all met and continue to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston, so we did the 'basics' sessions there. As in, we recorded as a band 'live' and used those recordings as the basis for overdubs. We chose to not use any click-tracks to keep a more organic feel for the EP (although Chance was recorded to a click!). Erika's vocals, the live strings, the backing vocals (girls) were all done in Boston. Last summer Matt came home to South Africa and finished recording all the guitars, his vocals, edited and finished the music in South Africa in his room (it was cheaper than going into a studio!!!)
Is there any plan to work no and release a LP in the future? Speaking of which, are there any other general plans for the future?
Right now we'd like to continue gigging in and around the East Coast of the USA. So far we've had a great response in Boston, Brooklyn NY and NYC. If we can afford it we'd love to record a couple more tracks around October but for now we want to play as many shows as possible. We have a hell of a live show!
Speaking of your future plans. While searching for a way to contact you I stumbled upon "http://changingclocks.com" Do you plan to update it to a proper website representing your band in the near future? While this project is still in the works, what is the best place to get news about you right now?
Sorry about that. Haven't set up the redirect yet. It's currently under development. For now there is: www.changingclocks.bandcamp.com And of course, our myspace and facebook pages etc.
While that is still far away, what were the greatest moments you already experienced regarding your music?
Don Was - who has produced Bonnie Raitt, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan etc - happened to hear the Changing Clocks EP when he was visiting Berklee. Matt received an excited text message from a friend saying "Don Was just heard your music and wants to come to a rehearsal or gig!". Unfortunately we didn't have any shows booked while he was in Boston but he did come out to our rehearsal and sat in on it. It was a wonderful experience. Don Was is a truly humble, friendly and genuine man. He was extremely complimentary and called the EP - Blooming in particular - "Magical". That was really great for all of us.
In Germany we had a pretty significant revival of that style of music you are making (namely one million sold albums for Roger Cicero which is not really the same music but you get the same blues/swing vibe from it), while I can't remember anyone else making this kind of music who was that succesful during the last few years. Would you say that this genre is on the edge of a comeback?
Funnily enough, we often struggle categorising ourselves. Which, for marketing purposes, is very important. I'm not so sure that particular genre is coming back. But I do believe the general public is much more open to different kinds of music than one thinks. You just need to get their friends to like it! Then, they can feel 'OK' about liking something a little different.
I love to ask about music recommendations. Bands you love? Or bands you really think deserve more listeners? Any hidden gems?
Matt: "Yes check out The Cat Empire. Australian band who I absolutely love. If you have to get one album, get their self-titled album The Cat Empire. Now there's music that defies a single genre! Brilliant!"
Thank your for taking your time!
