Marriage in 2018? Hold on Venus goes Retrograde
Greetings dear, souls. Are any of you planning on getting married this year? Or is someone whom you care about planning a wedding? If so, there may need to be a reschedule on the entire nuptials.
I was going through my new ephemeris for 2018, checking to see what the planets have in store for us this year and man, it's a lot. Something caught my eye that I felt compelled to share with you now, so you cannot say I didn't give you plenty of advanced warning. Unless you are remarrying an ex-spouse or renewing your vows do not plan a wedding after September 9, of 2018 until mid January 2019.
Venus will be retrograde in Scorpio starting October 5, 2018 this is NOT a good time to start a new relationship or get married. Venus goes retrograde the least out of all of the planets. A retrograde planet is one that looks as if it's going backwards from our vantage point on Earth. So please take notice. Plan to marry before the September 9 2018 or just wait and find a good date in 2019. In classic astrology, marrying while Venus is in retrograde is certain to make for a broken heart and unhappy marriage. However, this fall will be a double whammy for Venus because she will either be retrograde of in the sign of Scorpio from Sept 9 until mid January of 2019.
My friend is a hedge fund manager and will often call me to ask when Mercury will be retrograde. He finally confessed his interest in retrograde planets was because a client would not sign the contract while Mercury was going backwards. Mind you, in order to be a client at his firm, one needs to invest a minimum of $100,000. Many wealthy folks use astrology to strategize their business dealings and you should too.
Still not convinced finding the most auspicious day for your nuptials is necessary? Perhaps you feel you are so in love nothing could possibly break the bond? How many couples have you known that lived together for 10, 15 even 20 years, then they get married and they don't even make it to their 2-3-year anniversary. Chances are they met on a favorable day and then married on a day that was less than supportive for signing long-term contracts.
Spread the word, save lives and broken hearts. Venus won't go retrograde again for another 3 years.
Research a better time to marry and you have a higher chance to get your happily ever after.

Testing rates for COVID-19 remain steady in Ararat
21 people were tested for COVID-19 in Ararat across the weekend.
In total,139 people were tested during the week from June 20 to June 26, slightly below the 157 tested the week before.
Meanwhile west of Ararat in Horsham, testing has skyrocketed in response to an outbreak.
350 people were tested at a drive-through clinic in the town across both Saturday and Sunday, as several members of the Australian Defence Forced arrive to assist.
The Horsham council region had seven active cases on Monday.
There was also a miscommunication between the Wimmera Health Care Group and the DHHS creating confusion around whether asymptomatic people can be tested.
The Wimmera Health Care Group announced that it would be testing asymptomatic persons on Sunday, but has since been forced to backtrack.
Only people with symptoms and those deemed close contacts of a positive COVID-19 case can now get tested.

Pipilotti Rist
Luhring Augustine | Chelsea
Pipilotti Rist's new video installation, Herbstzeitlose, 2004, immersed the viewer in a multimedia bath of transcendent female power under the gaze of the Mother. Part earth goddess, part techno-banshee, Rist's alter ego or animating idea inhabits a symbolic register in which sight, sound, and touch have never been split apart. Neither ironic nor sanctimonious, this presiding spirit assumes as the baseline of experience an enveloping, polymorphous, often lulling but sometimes scary physicality.
Rist's vehicle in this case was a multiscreen panorama filmed in the green Swiss hills around St. Gallen, where Rist grew up. Herbstzeitlose means "meadow saffron," a flower native to those hills. But it also translates as "autumn timeless." Thus poised between natural detail and disjunctive eternity, the piece engulfed viewers in a paradoxically soothing hyperstimulation, gently appropriating their

The interactive tool to quantify and visualise the potential impact of the OECD's Unified Approach proposal on your business
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)'s project to address the tax challenges arising from the digitisation of the economy is likely to mean fundamental, unprecedented changes to long-standing principles of the international tax system. The Unified Approach proposal under Pillar I will also affect traditional business models, as the overarching aim is to increase taxation in market jurisdictions by re-allocating taxable profits to market countries.
While these changes could lead to uncertainty, increased tax disputes and disproportionate compliance burdens, they also have the potential to impact the way you do business and require you to realign your tax model accordingly.
Have you assessed the impact of Pillar I to prepare for the coming changes?
PwC's Market Taxation Analyser uses variables that can be modified to map different scenarios illustrating the potential impact of Pillar I.
Our PwC tax specialists have developed a user-friendly, interactive dashboarding tool to quantify and visualise the potential impact of the OECD's Unified Approach on your business: the Market Taxation Analyser. We'll use the tool to run an impact assessment so you can estimate the profit reallocation per jurisdiction, compare scenarios and see the potential effects of this profit reallocation on your ETR. Modelling these scenarios will help you foresee any operational and structural changes to implement, so you can prepare accordingly.
The tool will also be ready to assess the impact of Pillar II, the OECD's proposal for a global minimum tax in response to the challenges of the increasing digitisation of the economy on a global scale. Stay tuned.

Valley of Flowers Trek is a trek to a vast valley settled in the vicinity of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. The entire valley of flowers is rich in biodiversity and lies in the transition zone between the Greater Himalayas and Zanskar Range.
The best time to visit Valley of Flowers is in the months of July and August when the blooming of flowers is at peak. Around 300 species of wild-flowers bloom during this season. The prominent species are Brahmakamal, Blue Poppy, Cobra Lily Anemone, Geranium, Marsh Marigold & Prinula. Apart from a wide range of flora, the valley of flowers national park is also home to rare and endangered animals such as Himalayan Black Bear, Brown Bear, Snow Leopard, Red Foxes, Himalayan Tahrs, Musk deer and Monals. Also, the valley has to offer much more than flowers. There are waterfalls, glaciers, towering mountains, gushing rivers and quaint villages.
The landscape of Valley of Flowers showcases the wilderness and raw beauty of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. The Valley of Flowers national park covers an expanse of 87.5 square km and about 8 km long and 2 km wide.
The trek to Valley of Flowers begins from a small village named Govindghat located 22 km from Joshimath on the Rishikesh Badrinath Highway. The actual trek starts from Pulna, which is 4 km and a 20 minutes drive from Govindghat. The trek from Pulna to Ghangaria is 9 km long and is done on a paved trail. Ghangaria is a small settlement where trekkers can stay and buy some essentials. The route further from Ghangaria divides into two routes, one leading towards Valley of Flowers and the other one leading towards Hemkund Sahib.
Another important destination that will be covered in this trip is Hemkund Sahib, which is a renowned pilgrimage site for Sikhs and also the highest gurudwara in the world, situated at an altitude of 4632 meters or 15200 feet above the sea level. The Trek to Hemkund Sahib also starts from the village Ghangaria. The trek from Ghangaria is about 8 KM long and the trail is fully paved but quite steep.

For Valley of Flowers Trek we gather at Haridwar ISBT in the morning, after that, we start our journey from there. Govindghat is 290 km far from Haridwar and it takes around 12 hours to reach there. We drive through Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, and Joshimath.
The drive is scenic and it goes along the Alaknanda river, which is one of the tributaries of Ganges. The interesting thing about the drive is that you will be crossing all five confluences of sacred rivers (also known as Panch Prayag in the local language). These five confluences take place at Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, Nandaprayag, and Vishnuprayag. Don't forget to take photos at the confluence of Bhagirathi and Alaknanda in the town of Devprayag.
We reach Govindghat by evening. Dinner and overnight stay in Hotel at Govindghat.
Wake up, freshen up and get ready. We will take a taxi from Govindghat to Pulna village and then began our trek towards Ghangaria village. The trek is 9 km long and is completely paved.
The gradient of the trek is easy and is steep at a few stretches. More than half of your trek goes parallel to the river. The whole trek is scenic and is full of scenic views of valleys, mountains, and waterfalls. Ghangaria is a kind of settlement situated at an altitude of 3010 meters and offers some great views.
The village houses some shops where one can buy daily need stuff. After arriving at the village, relax and enjoy the beauty of the place surrounded by conifers covered mountains.
Dinner and overnight stay in hotel/guest house at Ghangaria.
Wake up and get ready for the most important day of the trip. This day you will be trekking to Valley of Flowers. The trek to the valley is around 4 km long from Ghangaria.
We take the upwards route from the village and after walking for barely 500 meters we will reach a dividing point. The route will be divided into two routes, the straight one going towards Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara and the left going towards the Valley of Flowers. We take the left turn and continue our trek and reach the forest check post.
We resume our trek through that narrow route, after getting the entry permit. The trail is covered by dense bushes on both sides and soon we start seeing flowers on the way. We cross a bridge over the Bhyundar river and continue our trek on the trail. The waterfall near the bridge looks massive and beautiful. We will reach the main valley after getting out of the forest route.
The valley of flowers looks amazing. Enjoy the heavenly beauty of the place. We will explore the valley to its fullest and try not to miss any flower. We start getting back to the village by late afternoon and reach there by evening.
Dinner and overnight stay in hotel/guest house in Ghangaria.
We start a bit early today as we have to trek up to Hemkund Sahib, which is the highest gurudwara in the world, situated at an altitude of 4632 meters and 15,200 feet above the sea level.
The trek is 8 KM long on each side and is quite steep throughout the way. We take the same upwards route from Ghangaria and continue it on the Hemkund Sahib route. After crossing the waterfall, the steep ascent starts and the route continues in a zig-zag way. We could see the village Ghangaria from the route while trekking. After 3 hours of continuous trek, we reach a point from where the tree line ends. It will take us around 4-5 hours to reach our destination.
The gurudwara is beautiful and offers magnificent views. One can also spot the mighty Nilkanth peak if the weather is clear. We will have Langar there and then start descending back to the village. The downhill trek will take less time and we will reach back by evening.
Wake up and we start our downhill trek to Govindghat in the morning after having breakfast. We take the same route that we took on the Day 2 while trekking up. It will take us around 3-4 hours to reach Govindghat. After reaching the village, one can visit the famous Badrinath temple and Mana village (Last Indian village at the Indo-China border) if time and weather allow. Dinner and overnight stay in Hotel/Guesthouse at Govindghat.
*The taxi for Badrinath and Mana village is not included in the cost.
We start our drive from Govindghat by morning and take the same route. We will drop you at Haridwar by late afternoon or evening and you can continue your onward journey.
*It is recommended that you keep the buffer time and book your return bus/train tickets scheduled in the night.

Himalayan water is considered the purest water and safe to drink. But for safety purpose, we sometimes boil the water and then use it for drinking and cooking.
In case you find any clean water on the trek, always fill your water where the water is running not where the water is stable or is in rest.
Q. Can we change the itinerary?
Yes, you can give suggestions. We will look into that and if we find it feasible then we will apply it.
Q. Can you customize the Valley of Flowers trek?
Yes, we can customize any trek as per your needs and as per the feasibility.
Q. Will the doctor accompany us on the trek?
No, but our trek leaders are certified in Wildlife First Aid course and they always carry first aid kit and oxygen cylinders on high altitude treks.
Q. Do you prefer I should bring some medicines with me?
Yes, it is advisable that you carry your own medication on the trek.
Q. Diamox is advisable or not?
Well, it totally depends on person to person. Usually, there are no side effects of Diamox but if you are having any prior medical conditions then it is better to consult your doctor.
Our itinerary is designed in a way that we take sufficient time to get acclimatized. In case if you are having problem on the trek then tell your trek leader about your condition as soon as possible.
Q. Can I take my child along on this trek? What is the age limit?
It depends on the difficulty level of the trek. Minimum age for eligibility is 14 years.
Q. What will we do if it rains?
If it starts raining slowly while trekking then we will continue our trek as per the plan. Your poncho will keep you dry. In case if it is raining heavily then we will try to find any shelter and wait for the rain to stop or slow. If it rains at the campsite then there would not be any problem because all our living tents, kitchen tents and toilet tents are waterproof. You will stay dry inside.
Q. Why is the trekking pole necessary?
It differs from person to person. If you think that it would help you maintaining balance while trekking then do bring the pole. Some people think that trekking pole disturbs the walking rhythm. So it's up to you.

The Downfall of Othello
The Downfall of Othello
The Failure of Othello in the play appears to be strong and brave. He is a combination of achievement and weakness. Othello is intelligent and confident in military matters but socially insecure, one of the reasons that result in his failure. Othello is uncomfortable and protective about his difference from other Venetians. He sometimes even speak about himself as an outsider. He is various from those around him, due to his origins and his life history. More significantly, he is noticeably various due to the color of his skin, due to being a Black among white people, which is viewed as wickedness, while white is viewed as pureness and innocent.
Despite the fact that he wins Desdemona's heart with his story and tale but deep inside he does not believe that his words would win her. Othello's inexperience deteriorates his self-confidence. Iago discovers it simple to drive Othello to jealousy and believe that Desdemona likes another male, due to the fact that he currently feels that her love for him is too great to be real. Othello sees Cassio as the man who a lot of Venetian females would like to wed and as the guy she would rely on if she stopped enjoying her other half.
He is waiting for the dream to come to an end, for Desdemona to decide that she has slipped up in weding him. His awkward becomes a weak point that Iago utilizes to control him. Othello is lack of judgment. He lets his guard down after getting to Cyprus. He believes the Turks are defeated, and there disappears enemy. Iago utilizes his honest track record and starts with the believable recommendations in building up Othello's jealousy. For that reason, after listening to "Honest" Iago's innuendo, whatever he sees leads to the conclusion that Desdemona has an affair behind his back with Cassio.
Othello places excessive faith in the one he thinks about as a friend, Iago, who is complete with covert jealousy for Cassio's position and the rumor about his partner, Amelia, and Othello. Iago easily benefits from Othello's trust and plants the jealousy in Othello's mind. Othello is likewise full with male pride. He does not think his own other half. He selects to trust Iago's opinion above his wife's and his own. He has no reason to expect that Desemona is truly unfaithful, just Iago's lies which he holds to heart. He never question Cassio about his suspicious.
Nevertheless, he asks Amelia, who tells him that Desdemona is faithful, which he does not trust her word, because his belief that females are wicked and untrustworthy. His male pride causes him to trust what Iago states and nobody else. Iago just puts a couple of words of tip and innuendo into Othello's mind, makes him think that he is betrayed and lets Othello does the rest actions, falling under Iago's trap, judging, violating and eliminating Desdemona. The downfall is largely affected by Iago, but Othello was extremely responsible for his own downfall as he was easily manipulated by Iago.
The majority of the causes are his own flaws. His insecurity damages his marriage life for Othello does not wholeheartedly think that he has actually won Desdemona with his terrific story and that his better half truly enjoys and is royal him. Othello's lack of judgment is a benefit for Iago to develop trap, then has Othello challenges himself with his own judgment and finish up everything. Othello damages the very best of himself with his own weak point. After recognizing his own error, he judges himself and carries out execution to die with his beloved.

When you search on Google, you get directed to the Search Engine Results Page often referred to as SERP. This page displays the information Google thinks you want based on what you searched for.
Google keeps adjusting its interface to show you more information on the first page. For example, when you type in Google "What does snippet mean?" a definition of a snippet in a box on the top of the page will appear.
Featured snippets look like this:
It is a short summary that Google believes answers the searched question. This is helpful because the information displays at the very top of the Google search page.
There are three major types of featured snippets:
How do you get your content featured as a snippet?
Let's review a specific example. Instead of targeting a general keyword "marketing" consider answering a question instead like "How to launch a marketing campaign?". This query is longer but, it is more likely your page will display as a Featured Snippet. And answering the question will showcase your company as an expert on that topic.
If you aren't sure what questions to answer, try visiting Answer the Public. This is a great resource to figure out what your prospects are searching for. Also try searching in Google's search bar. It is another way to see what general questions are, and who else is looking to answer those questions. If it is a competitor, then you are on the right track.
The most popular featured snippet is "paragraph" type of answer. Follow this recommended format and answer the main question concisely in 45-90 words. The rest of your page should support or elaborate on the answer to that question.

Modify the online store channel
Shopify provides several different ways to add additional functionality to the Online Store through your app.
A ScriptTag is a tag that represents some javascript code running on a remote server. If you load a ScriptTag into an Online Store page, then the javascript code from the remote server will be added to the page when the page is viewed.
Using ScriptTags in your app allows you to add functionality to an Online Store page without having to manually edit any theme templates. This means that if a merchant uninstalls your app, then they won't need to edit their theme templates to revert any changes.
Application proxies
An application proxy is a feature that fetches and displays data on an Online Store page from an outside location that you specify. The content you add to the Online Store with proxy pages can be dynamic. You can use application proxies to display content such as image galleries, statistics, and custom forms.
Get started with Application Proxies
App snippets
App snippets are blocks of liquid code that are automatically made available when an app is installed, and automatically removed from the store when the app is uninstalled. App snippets allow for more precise injection points within an existing section, but require direct changes to the theme code. App snippets are only available when using the online store design experience preview.
Javascript best practices
Since Shopify is a hosted solution, there are a few best practices to keep in mind when using JavaScript on a Shopify store.
Adding code to storefronts
If a merchant has installed a sections-compatible theme, using app sections is the preferred method of adding custom code to a storefront. Within your app, check if
Pages/{page-type}.liquid exists in order to see if sections have been enabled for the given page.
If sections have not been enabled, use app snippets to add custom code to legacy theme templates.

Saturday 1st September 2018
lINE UP: ARTHUR BROWN, DICK TAYLOR & PHIL MAY WITH JC & ANGELINA, ASHLEY HUTCHINGS, THE ALBERTS.
OUTLANDISH late-60s rock star Arthur Brown is to perform at All Wight Now, the Isle of Wight retrospective to mark the 50th anniversary of the original Island festival back in 1968.
Arthur, the flamboyant vocalist who sold a million with worldwide hit 'Fire', starred at the inaugural festival at Ford Farm on the Island on September 1, 1968.
Exactly 50 years to the day, he will be back to join fellow 68 festival performers Ashley Hutchings, an integral part of the 1968 Fairport Convention lineup, and The Pretty Things' Dick Taylor and Phil May, with support from local band The Alberts.
Ashley (founder of the Fairport Convention) will bring both his music and his unique reminiscences of that time. Bob Dylan said of him (in September 2015): "Ashley Hutchings is the single most important figure in the history of English folk-rock."
For this first event as a special 'one off,' Dick Taylor & Phil May (The Pretty Things) are teaming up with Popular Island Artists JC & Angelina.
The venue for this year's event is The Cow at Tapnell Farm: a stunning rural location in the West Wight with unrivaled views overlooking the site of the legendary 1970 IW Festival at East Afton.

Comforting practice for the hospitalized elderly in light of bioethics

Bioethics raises discussions of great relevance regarding the values and moral principles that are present in the daily practice of nursing in hospital gerontology. Hospitalization emphasizes the fragility of the elderly, leaving them susceptible to suffering, vulnerability and discomfort. This fact can hinder their recovery, entailing the adjustment of the care provided. The objective of this article is to reflect on the promotion of well-being for the hospitalized elderly, based on the Theory of Comfort and the principles of bioethics. Thus, it is essential for health professionals to offer holistic and humanized care that addresses patients' physical, psycho-spiritual, sociocultural and environmental needs, taking into account the comfort of the hospitalized elderly and the principles of bioethics.
Key words: Population dynamics; Health of the elderly; Bioethics; Patient comfort
A bioética traz discussões de grande relevância sobre valores e princípios morais presentes no cotidiano da prática de enfermagem em gerontologia hospitalar. A internação acentua a fragilidade do idoso, deixando-o suscetível ao sofrimento, à vulnerabilidade e ao desconforto, o que pode prejudicar sua recuperação, implicando adequação dos cuidados prestados. O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre a promoção do bem-e=star do idoso hospitalizado a partir da teoria do conforto e dos princípios da bioética. É imprescindível que os profissionais de saúde ofereçam cuidado holístico e humanizado que contemple as necessidades físicas, psicoespirituais, socioculturais e ambientais dos pacientes, tendo em vista o conforto do idoso hospitalizado e os pressupostos da bioética.

With technological and scientific advances in the field of health, longevity and increased life expectancy have become a significant reality in society. Population aging is a phenomenon characterized by an increase in the proportion of elderly people in relation to other age groups, leading to social and health service changes1 , 2 . Aging is a natural and progressive process that occurs throughout life, resulting in biopsychosocial changes. Old age predisposes the individual to chronic diseases, dependence, functional decline, falls, hospitalization, institutionalization, and death3 - 5 .
Although old age does not mean disease but a stage of life with its peculiarities and values, the elderly end up consuming more health services. Hospitalization of the elderly is representative and more frequent than that of people in other age groups, and it also takes longer bed occupancy, which requires professionals prepared to meet the needs of this growing population group5 , 6 .
The disease associated with hospitalization accentuates the fragility of the elderly4 . During hospitalization, these people may lose their functional capacity due to their disease, previous clinical conditions, procedures to which they are submitted and adaptation to the hostile environment, increasing susceptibility to suffering, vulnerability, and discomfort5 - 7 .
In the hospital environment, nursing professionals must understand the aging process and be prepared to meet the specific needs of the elderly. Nursing care in gerontology should be based on scientific knowledge –biological, psychological, social, and cultural knowledge – that allow nurses to put into practice a global and bioethical approach to the elderly8 , 9 .
For integrated gerontological assistance to the hospitalized elderly and taking into account the multidimensionality of the aging process, interdisciplinarity is necessary. This requires professionals to integrate technical and scientific knowledge and actions based on bioethics, in order to restore and promote the health of the elderly. It is essential that the nursing team offers holistic and humanized care that addresses the physical, psycho-spiritual, socio-cultural and environmental needs, aiming at the well-being of the hospitalized elderly8 - 10 .
The promotion of comfort measures is intrinsic to nursing and imperative for humanized and bioethical care11 , 12 ; however, it is often minimized in the face of technologies in the hospital environment13 . Comfort is a basic human need11 , an essential result of universally desirable nursing care. Relevant to various professional taxonomies and area theories11 , 12 , 14 - 16 , welfare measures based on the principles of bioethics - beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and autonomy - can reestablish the health of hospitalized elderly14 - 16 and even strengthen their relationship with health professionals.
Comforting is a complex act, more comprehensive than keeping patients well-positioned, warm in bed, and relieving their pain11 , 13 . It also includes the expectation and experience of the elderly to be helped and/or encouraged11 , 14 , 16 , ethical care that includes respect for autonomy and encouragement to the hospitalized elder. In this way, comfort goes beyond providing measures to mitigate suffering; it is about meeting the needs of the elderly in all human dimensions11 .
In this sense, the nursing staff, especially nurses, should provide care based on a holistic and humanized view, promoting strategies that favor comfort, respect, dignity, and relief from suffering, as well as guaranteeing principles and values of bioethics in the sphere of caring.
Considering the growing number of hospitalized elderly people, the advent of new technologies and interventionist possibilities in the hospital environment, it is essential to discuss the promotion of holistic comforting care based on the principles of bioethics. The goal is to sensitize nursing professionals to this phase of the human life cycle, understanding the ethical and moral values to care for the hospitalized elderly. This subject is entitled to the satisfaction of their biopsychosocial needs, respect, well-being, and comfort, all promoted holistically.
Therefore, this study aims to reflect on the promotion of comfort to the hospitalized elderly, based on the theory of comfort, by Katharine Kolcaba11 , and on the assumptions of principlist bioethics.
Comfort for the hospitalized elderly in light of bioethics
The term "bioethics" emerged in the 1970s through technological advances in the fields of biomedicine, establishing a method for analyzing concrete cases and ethical problems that arose in health care practice17 . The principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice underpin this approach - which is why it was called "principlism" - guiding professional conduct in decisions in the face of moral conflicts of care and contributing to care based on respect and human dignity17 - 19 .
Bioethics brings discussions of great relevance, related to the values and moral principles of nursing practice in hospital gerontology. It recognizes that every advance in the field of biomedical sciences must be at the service of humanity, paying attention to the conscious use of new technologies in the medical sciences17 - 19 . Thus, it is concerned with the care provided to the elderly, especially in the hospital environment, where sometimes technological resources are available, and it is important to reflect on bioethical issues involving this type of device.
The hospital environment is hostile, with norms, pre-established routines and technological devices imposing changes in the quality of life of the elderly. Care is increasingly dependent on technology, and humanistic practices of affection, solidarity, and even comfort for the hospitalized elderly are less valued20 . They are not always involved in decisions about their lives or communicated with in order to understand the strategies established for their assistance.
In hospitalization, the elderly become more fragile and their autonomy even more restricted. Loss of autonomy is one of the main problems faced not only by older people but by most hospitalized patients20 . This process of institutionalization entails social isolation, the imposition of different degrees of immobility, exposure to risks, adaptation to the hospital environment (with restrictions) that result in greater danger of functional decline and increased dependence4 , 5 .
Respecting autonomy presupposes that the hospitalized elderly or their family can choose comfort, and these choices must be ethically respected even in the face of the inability to manifest them. The comfort strategies promoted by nursing should be perceived and planned according to the desire of the protagonist of care, the hospitalized elderly. For humane and comforting care, it is essential that the nursing staff value communication with this vulnerable patient due to illness and hospitalization, listening to their concerns and doubts to provide clear and objective information for them and their families to understand the procedures and rules. of the institution5 , 6 .
If nurses include the principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice in their gerontological care, considering the person and their experiences, they will indirectly offer comforting care to the elderly. For this, the patient's decision-making capacity, as well as their beliefs and moral values, should be considered, that is, comforting care should be adjusted to the needs and singularities of the elderly11 .
For Kolcaba, comfort is the immediate experience of being strengthened by having the needs of relief, tranquility, and transcendence met in the physical, psycho-spiritual, social, and environmental contexts 21 . Relief represents the experience of the elderly having met the need for specific comfort. Tranquility, in turn, refers to the state of calm, quiet or satisfaction of the elderly in the hospital environment, promoted by the nurse. Transcendence, on the other hand, is when the elderly overcome a problem or pain, assisted by the professional, which improves the nurse-patient relationship11 , 12 , 16 . These types of comfort established in Kolcaba's theory are interdependent, based on the principles of bioethics.
In gerontological care, beneficence refers to the act of doing good to the hospitalized elderly, promoting strategies for their comfort17 , 18 . The nursing team should share and explain to the patient and their family the need, benefits, and risks of the actions to be performed, avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures and respecting the decision, beliefs, values, identity, and privacy of those involved. The principle of beneficence encompasses another inseparable one: non-maleficence17 , which consists of the professional duty not to cause harm and minimize the risks to the patient's quality of life22 .
Comfort actions should be chosen and discussed with the elderly and their families, based on the principles of bioethics. Respecting the will of these subjects and including them in care planning, the interaction with the professional is strengthened11 , 14 , from the perspective of holistic care.
By promoting comfort, recognizing their ethical and moral duty to act on behalf of the other, the nurse establishes a relationship of trust that can prevent invasive therapeutic actions. The principle of non-maleficence determines that the health professional commits to evaluate and avoid predictable harm to the patient. For Kolcaba, comfort can also be interpreted as the experience of being helped, supported or encouraged, a way of not causing harm 23 .
The nurse must respect the dignity of the elderly, value them and, above all, consider them in their entirety, recognizing their physical, psychological and/or social needs. Thus, the care provided will contemplate the bioethical principle of beneficence.
Based on the concepts of the holistic approach, Kolcaba defined four contexts in which comfort occurs: physical (body sensations), psycho-spiritual (internal self-awareness), explained as esteem, sexuality and meaning of life, social (social inclusion, relationships interpersonal, family and cultural or financial aspects) and environmental (light, noise, color, temperature) 24 . The author states that at the sociocultural comfort level, health professionals should promote some social and cultural aspects during hospitalization, as well as ensuring the rights of the elderly by developing the bioethical principle of justice 25 .
Such principle implies equal treatment and comfort17 , 18 , offering the older patient what is needed according to their demands and particularities. The nurse, by ensuring comfort actions - which sometimes provide maximum benefit at minimum cost - puts into practice their awareness for the fight for the rights of the elderly. The principle of justice is linked to that of charity and both should be assured to every hospitalized citizen.
Thus, holistic and comforting nursing practices constitute charitable interventions and strategies, individualized and consented by the elderly and their families. The goal is to meet the patient's needs by valuing their preferences and life experiences with particular comfort actions. This involves listening, clarifying doubts, positive interaction/communication, touch, smile, unconditional presence, integration of the elderly and family in care, relief of discomfort and pain, actions to maintain functional abilities, respect for the decisions of those involved, care for hygiene and personal arrangement. It is about providing full support at the time of suffering and hospitalization10 .
Final considerations
Comfort based on bioethics can provide support for change in the thinking and actions in gerontological care, leading to reflection on comforting and humanized holistic practice for the hospitalized elderly. This reflection has the potential to guide society in understanding aging and the importance of respecting beliefs and ethical values in gerontological care. It is evident that bioethical principles can guide nurses to decide and act correctly, as they are the basis for assisting the elderly in their entirety.
The principlist theory is indispensable to guide the reflection and practice of gerontological care in nursing. This article is expected to provide subsidies for research on health care for the elderly, as well as on ethical conflicts in vulnerable groups in the hospital context.

West Grand wrestler Rene Dominguez punches ticket to state tournament
West Grand's Rene Dominguez has qualified for the Class 2A state wrestling tournament by finishing in fourth place at last weekend's regional tournament in Montrose.
Wrestling in the 138 pound weight class, Dominguez went 4-2 in his matches on Friday and Saturday, as the two-sport athlete posted the Mustangs' top finish and made state.
Other top performances for the Mustangs came from Ben Biekert and Omar Dominguez, who were both sixth.
"We had a good season," coach Brian Strathman said of his team, adding that there's a lot to look forward to next year.
Last week's snowstorm kept the Mustangs from traveling to a tournament in Rawlins, Wyoming, and the time off one week before regionals probably didn't help West Grand going into the state qualifying contest.
However, the Mustangs are still young. The wrestling squad that had as few as four wrestlers only a few years ago was up to 16 boys on the roster this year, and there's only one departing senior.
"I have everybody coming back but Cameron (Wood), so we're looking good to the future," Strathman said.
The coach credited Wood for strong leadership throughout the season and helping get the program where it is today. At regionals, Wood was 2-2 with both of his victories coming via pins.
"He had a really good year," Strathman said of the team's only senior. "He's been a good leader for the last four years, and he's done a lot to bring the program to where it is… The program is going in the right direction. We just need to take that next step."
The state tournament begins Thursday at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

We all know Rapsody can rap her face off, but she can also deliver a strong message in her music with her Eric G produced ode to men growing up without fathers titled "The Man."
I wrote this song as a dedication to all the boys growing up without fathers who now have to try and fill those big shoes. I wanted to tell the story of how they have to grow up fast, lose their innocence so young, and the damage it does (no matter your race). The interlude that follows deals with racism, and how people of color have to have these tough conversations with their children that others parents don't. It's hard to explain to a five year old that because of the color of their skin, they will be treated differently. But, that's a reality for us.

To build this sled, you will need to a few items that you may even have lying around your garage or hanging out in your basement under some laundry.
You will need:
Tools needed:
This is all you need to make this functional piece of equipment!
First, you want to start by selecting the right tire. I for one like a heavy tire that keeps me from having to add weight (I have two different tire sleds. One is for warming up and one is for working sets) and go through the process of trying to add weight to the sled. You will need to be able to secure the tire in place so it doesn't roll around on you so I would suggest having a buddy there to hold that sucker in place. After that, drill your hole. Try to find the center between the top and the bottom of the tire; I try my best to find the middle because no one honestly wants a tire sled looking more ghetto than it already is. One important factor that you must consider... Do not make the hole too big or the eye hook will shift and move around too much... I suggest having the eye hook with you when deciding what size drill bit to use so you don't wind up going overboard. Once you are done drilling, you will now 'thread' your eyehook through the hole in the tire; slide one washer on before you insert the eyehook and slid the other on before you thread on the nut.
That's it! You have done it! Your tire sled is now complete and all you must do now is decide what handle to attach and which type of rope or strap you will use to bring it all together! As far as handles go, I would suggest a simple straight bar handle sold at your local gym outfitter; if you are still looking for the cheap way out, just use some pipe with a hole in it. Since I am a grip fanatic, using a 2 or 3 pipe would be best. Wooden dowels would be ok to use but if you go to heavy (like I do) with one wrong move, your new sled handle will splinter and snap in two.
Here's one I made earlier :
Good Luck and I wish you all the best on your fitness journey!
Matt Hunt is an avid grip enthusiast and personal trainer. He is a certified Mash Monster and has dabbled in strongman, powerlifting, and Crossfit which has brought him much success in the weight room and in life.

Chandigarh Nov. 19, 2020:- In order to create awareness on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary diseases (COPD), a team of Doctors from PARAS Hospitals Panchkula shared the various facts and myths regarding the diseases related with lungs. Present on the occasion were Dr S K Gupta Associate Director Pulmonology & Dr Sumit Jain Sr Consultant Internal Medicine from Paras Hospital Panchkula.
Throughout the world millions of people are affected by COPD Diseases including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, refractory (non-reversible) asthma, and some forms of bronchiectasis. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an umbrella term used to describe progressive lung diseases. This disease is characterized by increasing breathlessness.
Shedding light on the ailment Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and its treatments, Dr. S K Gupta, Associate Director Pulmonology, PARAS Hospital Panchkula said that COPD 2nd Largest killer after Heart Problems & Cancer worldwide and India has become COPD Capital of World. Many people mistake their increased breathlessness and coughing as a normal part of aging. In the early stages of the disease, you may not notice the symptoms. COPD can develop for years without noticeable shortness of breath. You begin to see the symptoms in the more developed stages of the disease. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive form of lung disease ranging from mild to severe. It is characterized by a restriction of airflow into and out of the lungs that makes breathing difficult.
Sharing his experience Dr Sumit Jain Senior Consultant Internal Medicine, PARAS Hospital Panchkula said that COPD most often occurs in people 40 years of age and older who have a history of smoking. These may be individuals who are current or former smokers. Not everybody but most of the individuals who have COPD (about 90% of them) have smoked. COPD can also occur in those who have had long-term contact with harmful lung irritants in the workplace like chemicals, dust, or fumes, organic cooking fuel, may also cause COPD. Even if an individual has never smoked or been exposed to pollutants for an extended period of time, they can still develop COPD. 'COPD prevalence is around 5.5 to 7.55% in Indian. ' Recent studies suggest prevalence rate of COPD in males is as high as 22% in men and 19% in females.
On this occasion Dr S K Gupta also said that many sufferers have trouble walking short distances and are especially susceptible to illness and pneumonia. Often, sufferers need oxygen support 24 hours per day. If you show signs of emphysema or chronic bronchitis you may have COPD. The long-term effects of COPD result in an enlargement of the right side of the heart and eventual death." There is no permanent cure for COPD, but treatment options are available to prevent more damage and improve quality of life.'
Dr S K Gupta further added that also, as the temperature drops, people having COPD are more prone to illness. The symptom becomes more aggravated during colder weather. The effects of cold weather on the lungs can be extreme and chronic exposure to cold environments is known to cause dramatic changes to the respiratory system. If a COPD patient develops COVID, it really life threatening.
The lungs provide oxygen to the bloodstream and the heart pumps blood, delivering oxygen to various parts throughout the body. With an onset of low to extreme temperatures blood vessels begin to narrow, restricting blood flow and depriving the heart of oxygen. The heart is forced to pump harder, which ultimately increases blood pressure. In mild winters particularly, the largest strain on the respiratory system can be found, leading to a higher rate of cold-related mortality among the elderly. That's why it is important that you talk to your doctor as soon as you notice any of these symptoms. Ask your doctor about taking a spirometry (Pulmonary Function Test) test. ''
Early screening can identify COPD before major loss of lung function occurs. Most cases of COPD are caused by inhaling pollutants; that includes smoking (cigarettes, pipes, cigars, etc.), and second-hand smoke. Fumes, chemicals and dust found in many work environments are contributing factors for many individuals who develop COPD. Genetics can also play a role in an individual's development of COPD—even if the person has never smoked or has ever been exposed to strong lung irritants in the workplace.
On this occasion, Ashish Chadha, Facility Director Paras Hospital Panchkula said that the current scenario demands an immediate emphasis be laid on preventive healthcare. This involves raising awareness about COPD & other Lung disease and its risk factors. Conducting public education programs, workshops and counseling sessions for creating awareness at a mass level. about COPD & related problems.
