Natural remedies for Eczema
Eczema help!
What are Eczema causes and Symptoms?
Eczema is an inflammatory condition of the skin characterized by redness, itching and oozing, vesicular lesions which become scaly, crusted or hardened. The word Eczema literally means boiling over of the skin and is characterized by redness, flaking and tiny blisters on the skin.
Read more on herbal supplements.
The causative factors include allergic reactions; allergies to certain foods, chemicals and cosmetics, reaction to the sun and wind especially in the winter, stress and inherited weak immune system.
The symptoms include reddish or brownish gray colored patches on the skin, itching. Skin may crack, flake and also one would see noticeable thickened patches on the skin. It generally occurs on the hands, feet, elbows, knees, ankles, wrist, face, neck and upper chest area. New research shows that eczema is associated with weak immune system and it could be painful, uncomfortable and debilitating.
Natural remedies for Eczema -
Although the below mentioned home and natural remedies could be effective, consulting a Medical Doctor and if necessary starting a treatment is important as soon as one notices Eczema.
Boil water with the bark of Neem, clean the affected area with this water daily. One can also make and apply the paste of the above on the affected area and leave it till it becomes dry. Then wash it off with warm water.
Take warm showers rather than baths and use mild soaps.
Avoid wearing tight and abrasive type of clothing.
Application of Olive oil is also beneficial as it reduces inflammation. Olive oil is rich in Vitamins C and E. It acts as an excellent moisturizing agent and helps to keep skin moisturized for a long time.
Avoid stress as it makes the immune system weak.
Red clover is a member of the Pea family. It contains tocopherol, a powerful antioxidant, which helps to destroy toxins and is therefore useful in Eczema.
Avoid sour foods like pickles, and also avoid yogurt, meat and fish.
Eat Water melon fruit daily.
Licorice root helps to relieve swelling, allergy symptoms and also helps to improve Liver function. One can also take supplements of this herb.
Eat warm, steamed, boiled or slightly baked foods.
Aloe vera gel acts as an anti-inflammatory product; so apply it on the affected area.
Drink at least eight glasses of water daily.
Aromatic and perfume based products like scented soaps and lotions can cause irritation to the skin, so avoid using them.
Make a fine powder of oatmeal, add a cup of this powder when bathing and wash it off, using warm water.
Omega 3 oils are beneficial. Hence use of Flax seed oil or Pumpkin seed oil in salad dressing should be helpful. One can also take supplements of the above.
Sea salt helps to relieve pain and inflammation. So take sea salt Bath. This bath not only helps to remove dead skin cells but also could help with Eczema.
Take daily walks and get some fresh air.
Milk thistle, an herb could help with Eczema and also any problems related to liver.
Mix Apple cider vinegar and water in equal parts, and then with the help of a cotton swab, apply this to the affected areas.
Use cotton clothes all the time.
GLA an Omega-6 fatty acid found in Primrose oil and other sources is very effective in controlling Eczema symptoms. But more research is required in this field.
Apply a mixture of Camphor and Sandalwood, taken in equal parts, on the affected areas.
Apply a paste of Turmeric powder mixed in water on the affected area. One may even consume a pinch of Turmeric powder mixed in milk or water early in the morning alternatively. Finally for convenience once may also opt to take Turmeric supplements.
Take Grape seed extract orally, which will help to detoxify the body, thus helping to relieve the symptoms of Eczema.
Applying externally to affected areas of Tea tree oil which contain Terpenoids is beneficial. This oil acts as an active antimicrobial agent and also could helps to prevent or to treat bacterial infections.
As I mentioned earlier, in most chronic and severe causes it is important to take advice of a medical professional. I hope the above natural remedies for Eczema and related problems help all people that are trying to address this condition.

"Kids Face 'Cooking Pot for Asthma' in California'S Central Valley"
"MODESTO, Calif. – The students filing into Bret Harte Elementary School every morning barely notice the flags fluttering by the school's main entrance. There is the American flag, the California state flag and the color-coded asthma flag – green when the air is clear, red when it is a respiratory nightmare, as it so often is here."
"'Asthma pretty much rules our medicine cabinet,' said school nurse Diana Connacher, revealing a stockpile of inhalers belonging to the school's youngest students, at least one or two per classroom. 'We have a lot of 'frequent fliers' around here.'

The Germ Guardian UV-C room air sanitizer kills, as simple as that ... but only the airborne germs. With ultraviolet germicidal irradiation technology which uses naturally occurring UV light, this room air sanitizer manages to kill 99.9% of airborne germs without the use of chemicals, according to tests performed by the Harvard School of Public Health and independent third-party laboratory testing. The UV-C light is the same technology hospitals use to sanitize. UV-C penetrates the outer structure of the cell and alters the DNA molecule, preventing replication and causing cell death. The sanitizer gets rid off Influenza-A, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Tuberculosis and others, in addition to eliminating odors from smoke, cooking, mildew and pets. It also destroys airborne mold spores and other allergens. The special UV-C bulb that Germ Guardian room air sanitizers use, does not produce ozone. Available in six colors to fit your decor, these air sanitizers cost $200, while replacement bulbs are available for $30.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Blizzard conditions have descended on the midsection of the country again today.
The National Weather Service has issued blizzard warnings and watches in Kansas and Oklahoma through tonight as the storm tracks north and east across West Texas toward Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.
Airports in the Texas Panhandle are closed and National Guard units are mobilizing to assist stranded motorists as the storm blankets the region with a foot of snow in some places. State troopers have been unable to respond to calls for assistance as roads are impassable.
Heavy snow is piling up quickly in western Oklahoma and, combined with high winds, visibility is near zero. Oklahoma State Police are urging people not to travel through the blizzard. Even snowplows were getting stuck in snow in the Panhandle and the northwestern corner of Oklahoma.
Not all of the region's temperatures are below freezing, though, and eastern Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana are being pelted by heavy rain and thunderstorms.

Apr 25 2008Del Toro is Definitely Doing 'The Hobbit'
Guillermo del Toro, director of Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth--and the same man who, at NYCC, told a 15-year-old that "the pubes are popping"--has been formally announced as the director of The Hobbit and its planned sequel. This had been rumored as a nearly sure thing for some time, but this was the first absolute confirmation. I, for one, am pretty confident del Toro has the skills to pull this off. Particularly the scenes where Gandalf shoves his eyeballs in his palms and chases Bilbo around.
Guillermo del Toro to direct 'Hobbit' [Variety]
Reader Comments
If Mr.Jackson can't or won't do it I think Del Toro will be an amazing second choice.
He is an awesome director, PL, The Orphanage, Hellboy, and I'm sure it's sequel are/will be great.
at least he looks like a LOTR circa Peter Jackson
this is great news and i agree he does have the "middle earth director" look goin on
Don't worry, Peter Jackon's vision will bein this as well, as he's producing the 2 films together with Fran Walsh.
Del Toro, Jackson and Walsh will make for two amazing films!
I agree with everybody. This should be good.
I'm still waiting for confirmation of Sir Ian, Hugo Weaving, and Andy Serkis, though.
Quite frankly I am disappointed with this article -- from the title, I was expecting it to have some juicy details about Del Toro involved in some nasty hobbit fucking.
This film needs to be good.
I mean, it NEEDS to be good.
I will be so fucking disappointed if they screw up my favourite book.
Especially as I'm very pleased with the choice of director.
I'm thoroughly overjoyed that they didn't choose someone American to direct it. Prejudice? Yes.
But ffs look at how many generic, dull, piece-of-crap films Hollywood churns out. They've taken so many good films and made pointless, Americanised versions of them that frankly suck the nut.
And why the fuck do they feel they have to get shows from other countries and make their own sub-standard versions of them?? If the show is so good in the first place that you wanna poach it why not just fucking leave it as it is?!
And wtf is up with 'American English'???!! Why do Americans feel they need to take words and knock letters out of them? Why oh why!>!>!>!>!>!??!!?!?
Having said all that though America ain't all bad. It has produced some amazing tv shows, music, literature, technology etc etc.
So anyway, to conclude, yey for the non Americaness of Del Toro. And, America, stop sucking so much. Sort your yankee doodle ass out.
He didn't direct the Orphanage. He was one of the producers. Also, the only good stuff he does is when he writes and directs a movie.

While next week is the big Emmy show, yesterday the Emmy's were given out in some of the "lesser" prominent categories.
Betty White, 88, won her sixth Emmy for guest-hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, while Neil Patrick Harris, 37, picked up two Emmys: for his recent turn hosting the Tony Awards, and for his guest-starring appearance on Glee.
During his acceptance speech for his hosting triumph, Harris thanked his longtime partner David Burtka; the couple is expecting twins via surrogate, due this fall.
Other winners included Jaime Oliver's Food Revolution (best reality series) and Survivor's Jeff Probst (best reality-show host).
John Lithgow earned his Emmy for his menacing season-long arc on Dexter. The Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa won (well, the creators of his ad, Weiden + Kennedy, won — for best commercial).
Ann-Margret won for her guest drama turn on NBC's Law and Order: SVU. Cartoon Network's Robot Chicken won outstanding short-form animated program.
HBO won the most awards (17), followed by ABC (15) and Fox (9).

Earth 2 #0 Review
Six years ago, Terry Sloan chose to save his world, even if doing so made him its greatest villain, in Earth 2 #0.
Earth 2 #0
Six years ago, Earth 2 was at war. Against the entire planet of Apokolips, stood only eight heroes, who managed to keep the fight a stalemate. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Supergirl, Robin, a mysterious seventh hero, and Terry Sloan, the Eighth Wonder or "Mr. 8." In his attempts to save his world, Terry Sloan created a device that allowed him to see into other worlds, and other futures. His visions showed him that Earth would lose the fight against Apokolips unless they cut their losses, destroying the occupied countries that had already fallen to the Anti-Life Equation. And so he did just that, destroying huge chunks of the world in order to save the rest.
While the main Earth 2 book has focused on the "new" heroes like Green Lantern and Flash, this zero issue takes us back to a time when the Trinity was still alive and kicking. But appearances can be deceptive, because in reality this book isn't about Earth's greatest heroes, this was the origin story of the man who might end up being the main villain of the series.
We've already seen Sloan take down Mr. Terrific, and reveal his association with the World Army, which has been stockpiling superheroes against their will. Now we find out that he was responsible for fire-pits that are spread out across the world, ironically making it look like the very world they were fighting, Apokolips. The metaphor is a juicy one, basically to stop Darkseid, Sloan had to become Darkseid.
And while his M.O. comes across as a little too much like Ozymandias from WATCHMEN (smartest guy on Earth blows up a part of it to save the rest), it is still a motivation I find enjoyable. I can get behind a bad guy who thinks he's doing the right thing, as opposed to one who just likes to kill and hurt people for fun.
Frankly, there's not a lot here to discuss. The whole issue is basically one long fight scene, with Robinson falling back on the tried-and-true method of having the bad guy take control of Superman and turn him into a monster for the other guys to fight. Seeing has how the Parademons were seen attaching something to Superman's head as they "killed" him back in issue one, I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a precursor to Superman returning as a brainwashed monster in the main book sometime.
Tomas Giorello's art was very nice, and fits in with what Nicola Scott has been doing in the main book enough to not be distracting, although I wish both of them would draw Superman's suit the way Ivan Reis does on the covers, instead of with that big metal s-shield. Giorello's art has a blurred, almost painted edge that helps with the flashback tone of the story.
Overall, this was an enjoyable if somewhat standard tale. The real point here is the "introduction" of Terry Sloan, who I fully expect to turn into the main bad guy, or at least one of the "bosses."
|Good backstory for a bad guy
|Nothing we really didn't see in issue 1

Corporations are ramping up formal programs that pair seasoned managers with up-and-comers, experts in the field say. Such programs are among the tools companies are using as they strengthen succession-planning efforts and transform them into broader talent development programs.
Fostering one-on-one relationships in effect replaces how it was done a few decades ago, when bosses informally took rising stars under their wing. It's a practice that declined in the go-go 1990s, but has ancient roots, says Wayne Hart, a senior faculty member at the Center for Creative Leadership training facility in San Diego. "It's a return to the wisdom of apprenticing," he says.
Hart says key benefits to mentoring include company-specific guidance and having a supporter who can open internal doors, "kind of like an advocate."
Preliminary data in a study on succession planning by Aberdeen Group researcher Katherine Jones show that 41 percent of firms have mentoring programs with higher-level executives or emeritus employees.
Companies can go too far in structuring mentor programs, says Jerry Hunt, management professor at Texas Tech University. In particular, he warns against top-down pairings. "Programs seem to work better if the protégés pick the mentor or have something to say about who the mentor will be," he says.
About two and a half years ago, apparel firm Kellwood launched a succession-planning program in which five senior executives serve as mentors to high-potential managers. About 30 promising junior executives have been placed in the "talent pool" at the firm in Chesterfield, Missouri. It employs about 30,000 people worldwide and owns brands including Phat Farm and Sag Harbor.
Every quarter, mentors spend two to three hours with each of their five or so charges. A mentor might sponsor the junior executives for senior positions, talk with them about how to handle current business issues and discuss what they've learned in training sessions.
John Short, Kellwood's director of organization development and employment, says the mentoring relationships, along with quarterly conversations among top executives dedicated to talent issues, have helped lift the company's internal hiring rate for vice president positions and above from 10 percent to about 30 percent last year.
It also is triggering a cultural shift at Kellwood.
"It's begun to sow the seeds for more of a coaching-mentoring approach to talent development," Short says. "Typically, our industry is pretty impatient, and expects people to come to positions fully developed."

It has been argued that technologies for 'memory' should be designed to support creativity and meaning building, rather than the passive capture of cues for remembering [25]. We report findings from a study inspired by this in-sight, in which older people made personal digital timelines using a new tool called Project Greenwich. We explore how the constraints of the timeline metaphor offer a framework for authoring, and examine how timelines can be used to underpin meaning building in relation to personal content. We highlight the importance of making, this being a vehicle for connecting with others in the present, and a potential means of emphasizing those elements of the past felt to be most salient when looking back.

Still gradually edging my way toward getting another folder, and looking at Bromptons. I might order online if I do get one.
One company I'm looking at, because they are listed on the UK Brompton site, is C.M. Wasson. ( http://foldabikes.com/ ). I had one brief Email exchange so far, and left a message on their voice mail. Has anyone here ordered from them? How did it go?

What are the sources for WeatherOnline forecasts?
The WeatherOnline forecasts are created by using a MOS system developed in-house with the most current US weather services model data (GFS). The statistical methods of the Model-Output-Statistic (MOS)-System were developed in cooperation with the Meteorological Department of the University of Bonn.
What is a MOS-System?
A Model-Output-Statistic (MOS)-System combines the data of the weather forecast model and the locally recorded data for any given point by transforming the model data from a coarse grid to detailed small scale areas.
In order to do so, one needs a large volume of past model forecast data as well as the corresponding recorded data for any given location. The MOS-System relates these two sets of data in an optimized fashion allowing development of the local weather forecast by using the most current model forecast.
What are the time intervals used in the temperature and icons of the local forecasts?
The forecasted maximum temperature always refers to a 12hour window from 6am to 6om local time.
The forecasted minimum temperature always refers to the 12hour window from 6pm of the day before the forecast day to 6 am of the forecast day.
The weather icon for the morning refers to the time between 6am and 12pm local time, the icon for the afternoon is valid from 12am to 6pm local time and the evening icon refers to the time from 6pm to 12am local time.
How often are the current weather conditions and forecasts updated?
The current weather information as well as the satellite images are updated every 30 minutes whereas the radar images are being updated every 15 minutes.
The local weather forecasts as well as the weather charts are updated 8 times a day. The updates start at 2 am CEST or 3 am CEST depending on daylight saving time and continue on a three hourly bases.

MORGANTOWN - Wheeling manager Mark Delbrugge had one clear message after his team's 4-3 loss to Morgantown at West Virginia University's Hawley Field.
Don't count Post 1 out of the West Virginia American Legion Baseball Tournament just yet.
''That was a great baseball game,'' he said. ''How can you hang your head after that? This game could have gone either way. Morgantown played very well and did the little things. We didn't quite execute the way we have been.''

Wheeling's Andrew Kowalo takes a cut during their game against Morgantown Post 2 Thursday in Morgantown.
Post 1 (28-10) hit into five double plays in the first six innings and didn't collect an RBI until the top of the eighth when Eric Crow drove in Russell Schwertfeger to tie the game at 3-3.
After getting nothing in the top of the ninth, relief pitcher Trevor Stewart earned a K to start the bottom of the frame, but Morgantown's Jimmy Galusky doubled on the next at bat.
Wheeling looked as though it would force extra innings as catcher Chad Harper caught a popup for the second out, but Travis Renner sent the first pitch he saw deep down the left foul line to score Renner.
''Galusky is a great player and that double in the ninth really hurt,'' Delbrugge said. ''He almost battled his way out of it. It was a great baseball game. Sometimes you come out in the good end of it and sometimes you don't. (Thursday) we didn't. We're not done yet.''
Morgantown struck first in the fourth. Lucas Travato doubled with two outs and scored on an error.
The lead was short lived for Post 2 as Jameson Murray tied the game on a wild pitch in the fifth.
Morgantown got the run back in the fifth as J.T. Stegmaier hit a leadoff doubled and scored on a Connor Boyd base hit.
Post 2 turned a leadoff walk by Lucas Travato into another run as Kurt Latocha's base hit drove him in to make it 3-1.
Post 1 made it a one run game in the seventh. Justice Jackson doubled to lead off the inning, went to third on a fly out and scored on a wild pitch.
Morgantown pitcher Tyler Shorter earned the complete game victory. He retired three batters on strikes and allowed eight hits.
''I think we blew some chances,'' Delbrugge said. ''We hit into five double plays. Anytime you do that, you're going to have a hard time scoring runs. We had bad base running mistakes that cost us. I thought (starter) Mario (Peroni) and Trevor threw well.''
One key for Post 1 as it moves forward in the double elimination tournament is the fact it still has pitching left. Jameson Murray, Matt Brooks and Justice Jackson are still available.
''We're not done in this thing,'' Delburgee said. ''Don't count Post 1 out of it yet.''
Wheeling will return to Hawley Field today at noon to face Fairmont, a team it beat in the tournament opener, 7-6.
Nick Naumann will get the start on the mound for Post 1.
'' We'll rebound,'' Delbrugge said. ''I feel confident.''

KANEOHE, Hawaii – Washington State women's golf moved up one spot on the leaderboard to finish fifth place at the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational. The Cougars scored a 302 in round three bringing their final score to 906 (+42). This is the second time this season that WSU has finished in the top-5.
Mississippi State (35-golfstat) won the tournament with a score of 875 (+11). North Carolina State (19-golfstat) came in second place (+32, 896) followed by Southern Methodist in third posting a score of 897 (+33). Washington State finished one stroke behind a local rival, Gonzaga (39-golfstat), making WSU the highest non-ranked finisher of the tournament among NCAA D-I schools.
Junior, Kristen Rue, moved up ten spots on the leaderboard to land in the top-15 individual finishers. Rue placed tied-11th overall with a score of 224 (+8). The junior had the strongest performance of the day in the final round of the tournament carding a 73 (+1).
Another Cougar cracking the top-25 was senior, Mallory Kent, who finished tied-16th (+10, 226) at the end of the tournament.
Sophomores, Nani Yanagi and Monica Huang, both nearly missed the top-25 finishing tied-28th (+15, 231). Yanagi, shot her second lowest round of the tournament (+5, 77) and Huang's final round (+3, 75) was good enough to move her up 24 spots on the final leaderboard.
"I am proud of the team's finish this week at the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational," said Head Coach Kelli Kamimura. "We left a few shots out there, but the players continue to compete hard and show improvement."
Next, the Cougars head to Tempe, Arizona for the annual Ping/ASU Invitational hosted by Arizona State on Apr. 4-6, 2014.

Let's Build A Character For The Dresden Files (Part One)
Last time I showed you an example of a character build, it was for Anima, which is a very mechanically complex game. This time, we will be looking at a character in The Dresden Files RPG, and see how that differs. In this game, it is very important to have a concept going into this character build, otherwise you will just be lost. For this build example, I am going to go with a character idea I have been thinking about playing for some time in this game: a traditional werewolf. I adore the books and have long been a fan of the character Billy Borden. Here is my chance to build that sort of character.
To start off, we need a concept; a High Concept, specifically. A concept that will define what our character is. If you were to describe the character in just a few words, this is what you would tell people. For example, Harry Dresden himself is "Wizard Private Eye" because that is what he is. Concepts are very important in this game, as they help define both who your character is and what they can do, but I will not go into that too deeply for this example build. The only rule regarding it is that any template you might want to use must be mentioned in some way, which is "werewolf" in this case. So, for now, we'll say "Teenage Werewolf." It is simple, gives you a basic idea about the character, and includes his template, yet it still feels like it is missing something. How about "Teenage Werewolf on the Run." Much better. More dynamic. What is the character on the run from? Let's find out.
Next we need to come up with a Trouble Aspect. Like the High Concept, this is meant as a simple description of the character, in this case the main complication in the life of the character. We have already determined that the character is running from something, so now we need to figure out from what. It would be easy enough to come up with some external threat that is coming to get him, but I want it to be more of a struggle with the bestial side of him, the werewolf side. Normally, in the books, traditional werewolves have a great deal of control over their wolf-form and the heightened abilities gained from it, but what if this was not the case? What if the character was running from himself, fearing he might do something that might hurt people. Very Bruce Banner-like. So, for his Trouble Aspect, we can write down "The Beast Within."
Now we have a High Concept and a Trouble, so next comes the other Aspects. These are meant to be more minor details that tell the story of the character's life up until the point of the game, and the first one of these is "Where did you Come From?" I imagine this character growing up on the East Coast, likely up in New England. The picture that I have in my mind is of an Irish-American youth who knows how to handle himself on the streets. For this Aspect, let's go with "Born on the Wrong Side of the Tracks." Next we have "What Shaped You?" This Aspect will relate to when our character first became a werewolf. Playing with the idea of our character being brought into something like a gang that taught him how to change form, we have "With Friends like These…" which also plays up how these "friends" of his might not always be the best sort of folk. Next comes "What Was Your First Adventure?" and for this one, I have an idea of the character learning about how the alpha of their "pack" was actually using the others for their own ends and how he tried to put a stop to it, which is what drives him out of the pack when he fails. However, I see this guy as a tough kid who never knows when to give up, so let's call this one "I may be down, but I ain't out."
We still have two Aspects to go, as well as our actual build, but that will have to wait for next time. Next comes the part where we need the input of other players.
As always, thanks for reading and I wish you all good gaming.

There are many companies that claim to be experts in medical animation, but will often misrepresent the complexities of the underlying science. For example, incorrect DNA structures depicting the left-handed type Z spiral, only observable when the DNA has been chemically modified, are pervasive in scientific graphics and used incorrectly to represent the DNA found in conditions normal to cells. It would take a trained eye to pick up on the nuance of the awkward and step-wise left-handed DNA spiral versus the smooth turnings of the right-handed type DNA.
The migration toward "non-personal promotion" combined with the complexities and nuances associated with the development of scientific graphics prompts us to propose some basic guidelines for pharma brand managers in search of an effective medical animation firm.The core objectives behind the medical animation process are to take complex information, break it down into component parts, and then transmit the essence in a succinct visual message that is accurate, educational, and aesthetically pleasing. When considering a company, it is important to take into account the following criteria:
1. Scientific Accuracy
In a November 15, 2010, New York Times article called "Where Cinema and Biology Meet," the author makes the point that it isn't always desirable or necessary for animators to create images from scratch. In fact, one company has developed a way for animators to extract data directly from the Protein Data Bank into a 3-D animation software program like Maya allowing for many of the 60,000-plus proteins in the database to be more easily rendered and animated. This can be a helpful technique since often a key question is whether or not there is data to support the image that is being created.
Although some creative license needs to be taken with respect to certain variables, such as color, texture, and spacing, it is important that the starting point for any video involves a rigorous process of scientific research in order to understand what is happening even at a cellular or molecular level.
To this end, it is critical that the medical animation company you choose not only has the artistic expertise and technological savvy, but also the medical knowledge. Some important information to decipher is the educational background and experience of the medical animators.
Many are highly specialized, interdisciplinary professionals who have advanced degrees from universities affiliated with medical schools. These degrees offer education combining medical science, art, communication, and technology. Others are also board-certified medical illustrators or CMIs, which is a testament to their commitment to maintain professional competency.
2. Educational Value
Content is king. No matter what animation solution you use or how it is delivered, make sure that the medical information is something that HCPs truly want instead of just communicating what you think is important. Start by asking yourself, "What value can we bring physicians and how can we help them be more successful?" Answering this question will assist you in developing the script, which is a core part of the animation development process. It is essentially the story you tell about your product and the associated disease state.
If you use the wrong approach, your audience can lose interest just like they would with any story. It is up to the medical writers and animators to create just the right buzz about your product, so that the audience will not only remember what the key messages are, but will also want to know more.
It is essential then that you find a company that is willing to collaborate with you from the beginning to fully understand your product's key features and points of differentiation. They also need to understand any medical and regulatory constraints that may also exist.
In theory, you should go through several iterations of developing and fine tuning the script before settling on a convincing story that is ready to be aligned with visuals.

text: Babelgum presents the latest installment in their hilarious "Kids Reenact" video series, and this time the subject of satire is "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Watch as little girls play the roles of Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Kris, and a hilarious little dude plays Kourtney's boyfriend Scott. The funny thing about watching little kids play vapid reality stars is that it's really not that far off from the truth. We'd even argue the little girls' acting skills rival that of the Kardashians' "reality" skills.

For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo. It's not surprising that William Shakespeare's tale of star-crossed lovers has provided the inspiration for dozens of films over the years, but there seems to be something in the water at the moment in particular: Disney had a surprise hit at the start of the year with their (very loose) animated take, "Gnomeo & Juliet," while Hailee Steinfeld and Douglas Booth are gearing up for a more faithful version, while Keira Knightley and Lily Collins are supposedly competing for the lead in "Rosaline," which will focus on the titular girl, who Romeo is in love with before he gets all flustered by Juliet.
Now we've got one more to come, although it sounds a little more... left-field than some of the others that are in the works. Deadline report that a new film entitled "The Locals" is currently gearing up to shoot, one described as giving 'a Jewish/Italian twist' to Shakespeare's tale, and it looks to have drawn in an impressive cast; veteran Shirley MacLaine is signed on, while Alan Arkin and Vera Farmiga are both said to be in negotiations to join her.
Sue Kramer, who was behind the Heather Graham rom-com "Gray Matters," has written the script and will direct, and comments on her take "These two cultures have so much in common. Love of gab, love of good, they talk with their hands, and they feed you with guilt." It sounds like it'll come closer to "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"-style cultural stereotyping comedy than heart-rending tragedy, but we suppose you never know. Filming will get underway in the Bronx in the fall.

"I do. Every time I hear cars or car doors close, I wake up. I look out the windows," said David Morehouse.
David Morehouse can't forget what it felt like after someone broke into his home in October. He hasn't finished picking up the mess left behind. An army chest was one of the targets. It contained the only things he had that belonged to his Dad.
"You come in and you find a broken lock and right away your stomach sinks," said David.
The burglars took his medication, emptied his drawers and threw his boxes everywhere.
"Every time I found something that was missing, it made me more, more angry," said David.
David was far from alone. But, there seemed to be some improvement when it came to burglaries here in Yakima. KIMA dug up the numbers. Yakima saw a total of 637 burglaries in October, November and December of last year. Over the same time this year, the number dropped to 517. That's a 19 percent drop.
"During the holidays, you could make yourself a target if you post where you're going on social media," said Reporter.
Some of the burglary hot spots in Yakima were South 1st Avenue, Cornell Avenue, and South 7th Avenue. David said the experience changed him.
"I sleep with a gun under my bed," said David. "I've never done that before."
Now, he's planning to move somewhere else with the hope it won't happen again.

Well, I was at 340#s about 7 years ago. I have been loosing weight slowly. Not making any BIG changes of habit or diet. I got down to 260#s last spring. Then started cycling with my kids over the summer. Lost down to the mid 240's. Maintained over the winter. Now down to right at 220#s. Again, small steps. This weight seems to be a wall for me. I have yet to see a weight in the 2-teens area. It will come. My waist size is now down to a 36" from a 42" earlier this year. My internest has told me to not worry about weight so much anymore, but concentrate on the stomach size. (its a diabetes thing) I don't have any digital photos from my real heavy days. I'll have to see about getting one or two of them scanned so I can put together a comparitive image.Originally Posted by WonkerJaw
Thanks for the complement. My wife keeps telling me that I am completely different than when we married 8 years ago. I didn't really believe her until I saw the photos I posted above.

In a message addressed to the Albanian people, Meksi says: "Albanians should think of themselves, Albania and their own children. The only thing I would ask from all the people is to start the quick process of disarmament, institution refunctioning, dialogue between the political forces and the recovery of the Albanian economy.
This would be the first thing for the Albanians to do, if they love Albania, their own children and future". a.ke/kei/lm
Filo told this during the first interview for the Albanian Television after being appointed Albanian Premier.
"Today, the duty of the Albanian Premier is a very difficult one for the current situation in our country. This would be done by every patriot and honest Albanian in these difficult moments for our country", said Fino.
According to Fino, the new government would have a great job to solve the very urgent and sharp problems of Albania today.
With regard to the support for this government, Fino said that this government should be supported not only by the Albanian political forces, but also by the European Community, and especially by USA, because Albania is an European country.
"The European countries themselves are not interested to have a chaotic situation in Albania in these difficult moments. I think this support is not given to Premier Fino, but to all Albanians, to the Albanian nation", said Fino further on.

It feels like a well-armed Christmas morning at Sledgehammer Games.
Michael Condrey and Glen Schofield, co-founders of the video game studio responsible for the next ''Call of Duty'' installment, are excitedly unwrapping virtual goodies in the chummy meeting room that connects their offices: A pistol with a polycarbonate grip! A rifle equipped with a ballistics computer! A leather captain's cap!
''You can end up with something like 22 billion combinations,'' Condrey told The Associated Press recently while zealously swapping the gear and guns on his on-screen avatar. ''It's kind of an outlandish number, but it's not really about the number. It's just that it's fun to you. You can be one of 22 billion. You can finally, really customize your character in `Call of Duty.'''
''It took him three weeks to calculate that,'' joked Schofield, the Oscar Madison to Condrey's Felix Unger.
As players snipe opponents and meet goals in multiplayer match-ups, they could end up with three different pieces of such loot each round. While virtual booty is hardly an original idea in gaming, Condrey and Schofield expect their new swag system to make a big impact on ''Call of Duty,'' where even subtle changes can shift how the game is played by millions online.
''We call it supply drop,'' said Condrey. ''It provides you with thousands of rewards for time played and accomplishments for your play style - more than 350 weapon variants, thousands of pieces of unique character gear and consumable one-off rewards like extra perks and score-streaks. This will really be the most reward-based `Call of Duty' experience to date.''
The more customizable virtual army is one of several updates coming to the multiplayer mode of ''Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare,'' the latest installment of Activision Blizzard's wildly successful shoot-'em-up franchise. ''Advanced Warfare,'' scheduled for release Nov. 4, is setting the 10-year-old military series' sights squarely on the future.
The single-player campaign kicks off in 2054 with a global terrorist attack on several nuclear reactors. The raid leads to the rise of massive private military companies, such as Atlas Corp., a fictional outfit armed with futuristic war toys like walking tanks that's led by the power-hungry Jonathan Irons. He's portrayed in a voice- and motion-capture performance by Kevin Spacey.
The high-tech elements extend to the game's multiplayer matches, the addictive mode where ''Call of Duty'' players spend most of their time. ''Advanced Warfare'' gamers will each

DESCRIPTIONByetta (exenatide) and Victoza (liraglutide), anti-hyperglycemic medications for subcutaneous (SC) injection, are incretin mimetic medications that bind and activate the human glucagon-like peptide01 (GLP-1) receptor. Activation of this receptor increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion by pancreatic beta-cells, suppresses glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying.
Byetta and Victoza are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Byetta is administered SC twice daily, while Victoza is a once daily SC injection.
Another medication in this drug class, Bydureon, is not currently covered on the BCBSMS formulary.
Clinical Rational
To achieve and maintain this goal, the algorithm provides a set of tier 1 well-validated therapies that includes 3 steps. The first step in the algorithm is to make lifestyle changes and start metformin. If lifestyle intervention and the maximal tolerated dose of metformin fail to achieve or sustain the glycemic goals another medication needs to be added. This second step includes the addition of either insulin or a second-generation sulfonylurea (glimepiride, glipizide, and their extended formulations are preferred). If lifestyle, metformin, and sulfonylurea or basal insulin do not result in target glycemia levels, Step 3 should be to start or intensify insulin therapy. When insulin injections are started, insulin secretagogues (sulfonylurea or glinides) should be discontinued, or tapered and then discontinued, since they are not considered to be synergistic. Although addition of a third oral agent can be considered, this approach is usually not preferred as it is no more effective in lowering glycemia and is more costly than initiating or intensifying insulin.3
The algorithm also includes a second tier of less well-validated therapies. In selected clinical settings, this algorithm may be considered. When hypoglycemia is particularly undesirable, the addition of exenatide or pioglitazone may be considered. If promotion of weight loss is a major consideration and the A1C is close to target, exenatide is an option. The algorithm does not recommend the use of rosiglitazone.3
Medications not included or excluded in tier 1 and 2 are considered 'other therapies' in the algorithm. Although these medications may have a place in certain T2DM patients, they are not the preferred medications due to a variety of clinical reasons (i.e., µ-glucosidase inhibitors have frequent gastrointestinal side effects and need to be taken 3 times daily; glinides are associated with weight gain, hypoglycemia and have to be taken 3 times daily; and DDP-4 inhibitors have not established their long-term safety).3
The algorithm notes that the expected decrease in A1C with monotherapy is 0.5-1.0 with exenatide. Advantages of exenatide are the weight loss associated with use (2-3 kg over 6 months) and the lack of hypoglycemia. Disadvantages include two injections daily, frequent GI side effects (30-45% of treated patients experience one or more episodes of nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea), and the long-term safety has not been established. GI side effects tend to abate over time.3
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologist/American College of Endocrinology (AACE/ACE) consensus panel on type 2 diabetes mellitus wrote an algorithm for glycemic control.4 Metformin is considered the cornerstone of medication therapy for most patients as in the ADA algorithm. However, exenatide is considered a second line preferred component because of its safety, with nearly complete absence of hypoglycemia and because of its potential for inducing weight loss. Also, the algorithm notes that it has the ability to inhibit glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner after consumption of meals, to increase satiety, and to delay gastric emptying.4
Clinical Trials
There is one head-to-head trial published that compared liraglutide to exenatide.5 It was a 26 week open label, parallel group study of 464 T2DM patients inadequately controlled on maximally tolerated doses of metformin, sulfonylurea, or both who were randomized to additional liraglutide 1.8 mg SC once daily (n=233) or exenatide 10 mcg SC twice daily (n=231). The primary outcome was change in A1C. Liraglutide reduced mean A1C significantly more than exenatide (-1.12% [SE 0.08] vs -0.79% [0.08]; estimated treatment difference -0.33; 95% CI -0.47 to -0.18; p<0.0001). Weight loss was similar between groups with patients losing 3.24 kg with liraglutide versus 2.87 kg exenatide, p>0.05. Nausea was significantly less persistent with liraglutide than with exenatide (estimated treatment rate ratio 0.448, p<0.0001). Minor hypoglycemia was significantly less frequent with liraglutide than with exenatide (1.93 vs 2.60 events per patients per year; rate ratio 0.55; 95% CI 0.34 to 0.88; p=0.0131; 25.5% vs 33.6% had minor hypoglycemia). A 14-week extension study found switching from exenatide to liraglutide significantly reduced mean A1C from 7.2% at week 26 to 6.9% at week 40 (-0.32 ± 0.043%; p<0.0001), but remained similar with continued liraglutide (7.0% to 6.9%; -0.06 ± 0.041%, p=0.1222).6 The group that switched from exenatide to liraglutide and the group that continued liraglutide tolerated liraglutide well. Calcitonin levels remained at the lower level of the normal range (<1 pg/mL) and did not differ between groups. No medullary thyroid carcinoma or pancreatitis cases were reported during the extension.
A review was conducted to evaluate the possible association between GLP-1 agonist use and pancreatitis in patients with T2DM.7 Clinical trials for exenatide and liraglutide and postmarketing reports for exenatide have demonstrated that patients with T2DM have developed acute pancreatitis while taking these medications.7 Several retrospective cohort studies have not shown an increased risk of pancreatitis in patients taking exenatide.7 Based on recommendations from the FDA, the current prescribing information for exenatide includes a warning about the risk of acute pancreatitis, including fatal and non-fatal hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis.1 Prescribing information for exenatide and liraglutide includes a warning about the risk of pancreatitis, without specific mention of type or severity.2,8
POLICYEffective 01/01/2013, step therapy is required for new start prescriptions for Byetta and Victoza when purchased at a pharmacy. Sampling will not be acceptable for patient being on stable therapy.
BCBSMS covers Byetta and Victoza with prior authorization when the member meets all of the criteria for one of the following conditions:
POLICY EXCEPTIONSStep therapy for Byetta/Victoza is not required for Federal Employee Program (FEP) and State Health Plan members.
POLICY GUIDELINESInvestigative service is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized by certifying boards and/or approving or licensing agencies or published peer review criteria as standard, effective medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and as such therefore is not considered medically necessary.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.
11/30/2012: New policy added. Effective 01/01/2013.
08/28/2015: Medical policy revised to add ICD-10 codes.
This may not be a comprehensive list of procedure codes applicable to this policy.
The code(s) listed below are ONLY medically necessary if the procedure is performed according to the "Policy" section of this document.

Firstly - kills. Yes. My pokeball theory is that when a pokemon in a pokeball is taken to a pokemon centre, it can be re-healed to a previous stage - much like a computer's backup - even if it's dead. The dying and reviving creates a connection between them - they're alike in that regard.
Doom desire - i do have a reason for that. Asbol's pokedex entry states that it causes (or predicts in some cases) disasters. My fictional theory is that an absol enters a cursed state while asleep, and casts doom desire upon an individual - or a town - which is nearby.
Celebi... okay, i'll have to think around that. That's a good point...
Thanks for the help, btw.

The commissioners of the Town of Dewey Beach feel compelled to voice our strong support of Town Manager Marc Appelbaum in response to recent opinions expressed by James Pryzgocki.
First, it is important to state that the commissioners, town manager, and staff are committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government.
Second, it is important to remember that a letter to the editor is an expression of opinion, not fact. The town manager's contract terms were subjected to legal review and unanimously approved by counsel. The commissioners have fully reviewed the facts, and found that Mr. Appelbaum has, as always, conducted himself in an ethical and responsible manner and is in full compliance with both the letter and the spirit of his employment contract.
We have complete confidence in our town manager.
Diane Hanson, mayor and Dewey Beach Town Council
