Jennifer M. Sharp, MS
Nurse Practitioner
University of Michigan
When I began my advanced practice career, nurse practitioners (NPs) had been around for some time. The first nurse practitioner program was developed at the University of Colorado in 1965 by Loretta Ford and Dr. Henry Silver. The program was focused on pediatrics, and historically, most NPs were employed in primary care specialties. NPs were able to add to the provider work force in physician offices, increasing the number of patients able to be seen and followed by any given practice. Over time NPs began to develop individual niches and opened independent clinics with the supervision of a physician. The role evolved further as the industry was able to see that both physician assistants and NPs, now collectively termed Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), were able to expand care capabilities in more focused areas of medicine, such as acute care, surgery and critical care. Nurse practitioner schools began to develop acute care programs and other specialized programs for broadening the scope of APPs into hospital settings and subspecialty practices. Regulations were developed to better define the role of APPs and to take on issues of training and certification that naturally coincided with this expansion of APP practice environments.
While the addition of APPs to the medical workforce was a positive change for health care in general, there were a lot of murky waters to tread. While many physicians were on board with this expanding venture, others were unsure and unclear as to what APPs were supposed to be doing. What can they do? What are the liabilities? What is the difference between nurse practitioners and physician assistants? What is their scope of practice? How do they fit in on our team? What is the benefit of working with an APP? The uncertainty of answers to these questions led to confusion that likely contributed to underutilized APPs, decreased job satisfaction, and confused employers and team members.
I started in transplant as a bedside nurse, first at the Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH), then at University of Michigan Health System (UMHS). After completing my training as a nurse practitioner, I transitioned to transplant surgery. I emailed Dr. Jeffrey Punch, then the Chief of the Division of Transplant Surgery and the director of the UMHS Transplant Center, more than once. I even encountered his wife (also a physician leader at UMHS) in an elevator, at which time I promptly explained who I was and why her husband needed to hire me. The possibility of working as a NP in the transplant program was a very unique opportunity. It was a natural evolution for me but somewhat confusing for those around me. I was a little bit like a transplant unicorn. I had lots of bedside nursing experience with the transplant population, which was hard to find at the time, but I was now a mid-level provider (which was what we used to be called) able to use that knowledge and experience in a more in-depth manner on the transplant team. The team did not have an inpatient nurse practitioner. Dr. Punch probably thought: "This woman has emailed me repeatedly and confronted my wife in the elevator; maybe I should hire her. She seems persistent. But what do I do with her? What's an acute care nurse practitioner? How do we train her? Do we let the existing PAs train her?" These were legitimate questions plaguing program directors who were hiring APPs at the time. In our program, I worked alongside my fellow "MLPs" and learned the job. There were 4 of us (3 PAs and me) working with the inpatient team coordinating discharges and other tasks. We also completed H&Ps for kidney patients and saw post-operative liver transplant patients in clinic two days a week. Our center volume was 250 kidneys and 90 livers a year in the abdominal transplant programs at that time.
Fast forward to 2018: our transplant surgery team at Michigan Medicine is now 7 APPs (2 PAs and 5 NPs). We function in the outpatient and inpatient setting alike. Collectively and via self-management, we take day call for the inpatient kidney service, oversee the junior residents who take day call for the inpatient liver service, cover 3-4 clinics each day for post-operative kidney/pancreas and liver patients, and see all pre-operative living donor kidney and liver patients prior to surgery. We are making clinical judgments and providing care in the acute setting as well as directing and following through with plans of care in the outpatient arena. We run daily multidisciplinary rounds and collaborate independently with all departments. We act on behalf of our faculty in matters of patient care when they are not available. Our role in coordinating care for the post-operative liver transplant patients has been studied and shown to improve care coordination and contribute to decreased length of stay.
In addition to patient care, we serve on transplant center and hospital committees. We have been able to grow our group and retain talented providers. We collaborate with faculty on best practices regularly. We are involved in research, attending and speaking at national conferences. Additionally, some of us have been able to independently develop significant quality improvement interventions that have been implemented for the benefit of patients. We participate fully in the education and training of surgical residents, medical students, and NP students both in inpatient and outpatient care settings. We also play a critical role in orienting the ASTS transplant surgery fellows to our program each year.
The answer to these questions is complex. We know our patients have become older and sicker. Their needs have grown. Their time waiting for organ transplantation has increased. The manpower needed to manage these patients is increasing. In addition, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education work hour restrictions instituted in July 2011 have limited the amount of time residents spend in the hospital caring for patients. These issues combined have created a growing need for additional providers to meet the needs of the transplant patient population. Responsibilities have grown to meet the needs of patients, including daily clinic expansion, increasingly complex outpatient management, and maintaining the necessary continuity for successful patient outcomes and patient safety. The role of the APP has evolved in that we are able to manage, and we have gained a more autonomous role in directing, the care of transplant patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings. We provide an aspect of care continuity that is unique and have grown into a large, invaluable part of the transplant team to our faculty, fellows and patients.
For our center, this model is successful. All seven of us are able to fill in at any time, in any of the areas of responsibility. This is particularly important in transplant, as the daily work volume is unpredictable and highly variable. We continue to review and revise the role as the needs of our patients demand.
We have been successful in providing care and education by combining the following:
These factors are not often studied or written about. But there is a common thread among transplant teams that provide exceptional care: they work well together. Each member understands that an individual cannot carry out our mission alone. The care we provide is based around the team and the systems in which we operate. APPs enhance this structure of care delivery at Michigan Medicine.
I have described the role of the surgery APP group at Michigan Medicine. However, there are APPs all over the transplant center in every division. The field of transplantation is made up of several teams: medical, surgical, pre, post, and everything in between. APPs on all these teams form another layer of connection. We provide the same underlying network for all the specific organ teams, performing different responsibilities but overall ensuring that all patients have what they need, continuously.
Nationwide, APPs can be found in different transplant programs in clinic, in the hospital, in outreach, assisting in the operating room, and on procurements—each with different responsibilities in kidney, liver, pancreas, lung, heart, and small bowel organ transplantation. APPs are known to complete morning rounds, write progress notes, perform H&Ps, perform pre-transplant evaluations, oversee waitlist management, participate in transplant protocol development and quality improvement activities, manage post-transplant clinic follow up, coordinate discharge, and take in house and at home call. Currently there are several NP/PA fellowship programs around the nation that developed to intensify and specialize training that is needed in relation to the growing industry as APPs take on more responsibilities in transplant centers around the country and in other areas of health care.
It is my perspective that the next logical step for the transplant advanced practice provider is to be placed into a dual role, both clinical and administrative. We have proven how versatile we are in our current clinical position. Transplant centers can only benefit from positioning APPs in leadership roles that develop center policy, mission goals, center operational strategies, fiscal development, competitive practices, and center organization.
Being an ATP has afforded me a vast array of opportunities to grow in my profession. Transplant is a complex field. It has many moving parts. There are many important aspects of care that require extra attention and time. It is clear that the ATP role in transplant centers in today's healthcare delivery environment is now indispensable. I have heard our role described as many things through the years, some accurate and some not so accurate. The real deal is that it is hard to define this role universally. It is all relative to where you work, what the needs are, and what structural model is utilized at that particular center.
The field of transplant is very well suited for the APP role. The patients require intuitive, highly skilled, and continuous care. The APP allows the team providing this care to be just that: continuous. When working in tandem with faculty, the role allows for minimal breaks in delivery of quality patient care. I have no doubt that this role will continue to evolve in all parts of healthcare.
Having said that, the role of an ATP is specific to institution; efforts are still being made for standardization in skill sets, responsibilities, and scope of practice. There are advantages to creating a value-added role from the ground up in a particular patient population at a specific center. However, developing standard responsibilities that can be maintained by the ASTS could certainly be a helpful tool for employers and personnel alike in the ever-changing health care environment.
In an effort to continue the discussion on this topic, the Communications Committee will be collaborating with the ATP Committee members in coming months to collect job descriptions from ATPs around the country. There are currently 93 ATPs within the ASTS membership. This collaboration will give more insight into the diversity in structural models and current roles throughout the field of transplant. There is every reason to expect that ATPs will continue to play a growing role in the field of transplantation, and the ASTS is poised to help lead that growth.

One need only to see the statistics to realize the gravity of the current opioid epidemic; >115 people are dying of overdoses daily, equating to an economic burden of 78.5 billion dollars /year.
With more than 42,000 annual deaths attributed to opiates, a surge in the number of organs available for transplant is inevitable. In fact, there has been a 24-fold rise in organ transplants available from overdose deaths, a national tragedy earning the morose moniker of the "Grim Silver Lining."
Not surprisingly, opiates have been known to humans as long as the existence of recorded history. A reference to 'Hulgul' or joyplant was seen as early as 3400 BCE from Mesopotamia.
In the U.S., the 1990s saw an increase in the use of opiates for a variety of pain-control regimens, driven and pushed by pharmaceutical companies. Marketing budgets swelled to more than $200 million a year. Extended release formulations also began to appear, and doctors, nurses and pain societies advocated for these "non-addicting" opioids.
By 1994, 4 million people (2% of the population) were using prescription medications non-medically. Additionally, after JCAHO incorporated pain as the 5th vital sign, there was a doubling of the opioid abuse/misuse in one decade.
Opiate overdose contributed to 1.1% of all donors in 2000. In 2017, it was 13.4%, an increase of 17% per year. At the same time, the discard rate for these organs is much higher than for donors from trauma, due to 56% of donors from overdose being deemed as PHS high risk (especially due to Hepatitis C.)
We in the transplant world are acutely aware of the perpetual shortage of organs with more than 100,000 people on the waiting list. Every transplant is balancing the risk with the benefit. With the advent of new Hepatitis C drugs with excellent cure rates, trials have shown the feasibility and benefit of transplanting Hepatitis C–negative patients with Hepatitis C–positive kidneys. It is time for us as a community to adopt it in wider practice and decrease the discard rates of these organs.
The other face of the coin is more humbling. We have to contemplate how we, as surgeons, have contributed to this epidemic and how our actions affect transplant outcomes.
Opioids are intended for short-term treatment of surgical pain. For far too long we have prescribed opioids without seriously considering the long-term consequences. The best predictor of misuse was the number of post-discharge prescriptions, with an additional refill increasing the misuse by 44%.
Alarmingly, 80% of heroin users first used prescription opioids. The fact is that 67% to 92% of patients have unused opiates left with them after surgery, forming an important reservoir available for abuse.
Although the transplant rates have increased with the epidemic, outcomes have been adversely affected. Recent articles looking at the single center studies and national data have shown that graft loss and mortality are both increased in liver and kidney transplant patients who are chronic opioid users.

As the transplant community continues to search for a solution to the available organ shortfall, xenotransplantation remains a far-off promise and tissue engineered organs are in the earliest stages of research. Despite these challenges, the number of deceased donors has been increasing in recent years, due in large part to the opioid crisis. Between the years of 2010 and 2016, the number of deceased donors has increased overall by about 26%, while the number of donors who have died of a drug overdose has increased by 277%.1 Often these donors are classified as PHS increased risk, and many have recent or long term infection from Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Utilization of organs from donors that are seropositive for HBV core antibody has long been considered acceptable at many centers, given the available therapies including Hepatitis B immunoglobulin as well as the antiretrovirals with a long history of successful HBV prevention. The lack of effective therapies for HCV has long limited organs from these donors only to patients who already have HCV. Some have reported positive results by utilizing the narrow subset of donors that are HCV antibody positive and RNA negative.2 Yet in the current age of highly effective direct acting antiviral therapy, this way of thinking needs to be re-evaluated. The utilization of HCV positive organs for negative patients necessitates many ethical, financial, and medical questions be addressed in a thorough fashion, ideally by the entire transplant community.
The biggest hurdle in the utilization of HCV mismatch organs may relate to the ethical questions that arise from such transplants. Our medical school oath to "do no harm," and the thought of knowingly "giving" someone HCV causes great hesitation; however, the transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV) or Epstein Barr virus (EBV) in a seronegative recipient is rarely given a second thought. Treatment of CMV tissue invasive disease can be a significant though manageable challenge with severe cases causing morbidity and prolonged hospitalizations. Less frequently, EBV causes lymphomas necessitating chemotherapy and reductions in immunosuppression that can place the transplanted organs at risk of rejection. With the current state of treatment for HCV, patients receive a 12- to 24-week course of oral therapy that is often well tolerated with minimal side effects. De novo HCV infection almost never causes severe liver dysfunction, and with treatment response rates reported at 99-100% depending on the chosen direct acting antiviral regimen, post-transplant HCV should be a rather benign and easily treatable issue, especially when compared to PTLD or aggressive CMV. Given the treatability of HCV in the current era, use of these organs should flow from the basic tenets of medical ethics; with adequate informed consent, autonomous patients should have the option to proceed with these transplants.
The next tenet of medical ethics, beneficence, may be a trickier ethical question to address. The framing of the question should not merely revolve around "should this patient get an HCV+ allograft or not?" Rather, the issue is "should this recipient get an HCV+ kidney or remain on dialysis for another year or two?" or "should this low MELD recipient take an HCV+ liver or not get transplanted at all?" Bowring et al recently described the risks to kidney recipients who decline kidneys labeled as "PHS Increased Risk" in terms of delays in transplantation.3 What further gains might patients be able to realize in terms of decreases in dialysis time by opting for a HCV mismatched organ and going through treatment after transplant?
Once a program, surgeon, and patient are comfortable with the ethical issues regarding HCV mismatch, there are financial considerations to consider. While the early direct acting antiviral (DAA) therapies were reported to cost as much as $100,000, newer regimens are coming down in cost with estimates in the $25,000-35,000 range. When we compare these costs to the yearly costs associated with dialysis, earlier transplantation of kidney recipients might result in overall cost savings compared to waiting on dialysis for an HCV negative organ. Patients who are willing to accept HCV+ kidneys may be able to avoid dialysis altogether and realize the benefits of pre-emptive kidney transplant. As newer and more effective HCV therapies come to market and innovation and competition drive drug prices down, this will continue to be a more financially competitive option compared to years on dialysis.
Utilization of HCV mismatch organs is not likely to be a one-size-fits-all solution as it relates to medical suitability, including long wait times and donor shortages. Does it make sense to give a 30-year-old who has not yet started dialysis an HCV+ kidney? Would it make sense if the average wait time in that recipient's region was eight years and he was not expected to do well on dialysis? What if instead he had steatosis and grade 2 fibrosis? There are certainly patients where HCV mismatch makes a great deal of sense; older diabetic patients without living donors in regions with long waiting times are prime candidates to use HCV+ kidneys. Similarly, patients with persistently low MELD scores can benefit from liver transplant with HCV mismatch livers and DAA therapy afterwards.
The great efficacy that new DAA therapies for HCV have demonstrated has ushered in new opportunities for organ utilization. Given the rapidly increasing numbers of donors who are dying of drug overdose and who have HCV exposures, the transplant community has the opportunity and responsibility to utilize these organs for patients in dire need of lifesaving transplantation.

June is Men's Health Month. If there's ever a time as a male to think about your personal health, now's the time to do it. Over the next month we'll be discussing men's health issues and what you can do to improve.
Men in New Zealand on average live four years less than women, yet they're far less likely to go to the Doctor if they're sick, or for an annual check-up.
And generally speaking, men in New Zealand are not in very good shape. 6 out of 10 males are overweight, 1 in 4 are smokers, and 40 men are diagnosed each day with diabetes. Men are also at greatest risk of Cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Having regular contact with a health professional can go a long way to improve health outcomes. Our nurses can offer advice and tips to our clients during the Health Assessments and Pre Employment Assessments which many people find a lot of value in. But going to the doctor each year for a full check-up, even if you're not sick, is one of the best things for your health.
The Men's Health Website has a Men's Health Checker which will tell your health risks based upon your age and what you should get checked.
If you're going to your doctor regularly, they'll tell you there's almost nothing they can't help you with. Even something like cancer is treatable if you catch it early. But if you haven't been to the doctor for a few years, (some of us haven't been for ten years or more), the fear factor can be massive. You almost don't realise how big it is until call to book your appointment. Brave it out. Pick up the phone and make an appointment to see your doctor for a general check-up this week, even if you don't think there's anything wrong.
Find a Doctor
If you don't have a doctor, go to healthpoint.co.nz and select "GPs (General Practitioners)" to find one in your area. Or, ask your friends who they go to. Some clinics are open after work and on weekends, and prices vary. Book an appointment and ask for a double length appointment for a Men's Health Check-up. If you're unsure what to say at your appointment, just say "I'd like to get a full health check-up".

Dr. John Eveland
Part-time Faculty - Glenn R. Jones College of Business
Hi! I'm Dr. JD Eveland and I'm an adjunct instructor in the College of Business Administration. I'm an organizational psychologist by training, and a teacher and research advisor by choice. I believe strongly in the potential for technology to effectively augment human capabilities and enable equitable and just societies. The social and political choices that we make now need to be based on the best understanding we can develop. That's why I've committed so much of my life to making research both real and credible.
I've come to Trident this time through a long and sometimes winding career path through academia (nearly 30 years all told, at some eight or nine different institutions), government (National Science Foundation, Department of Health Education and Welfare), research (RAND Corporation, American Institutes for Research), and business (consulting to many different companies). I've been involved in online education at the graduate level since the late 1990s, and studying and applying information technology in organizations since the early 1970s. I was closely involved with Trident U. in its very early days. Whatever your topics and interests are, odds are I've been involved with them at one point or another over the years. I've chaired close to 50 doctoral committees over the years, so I know the system very well, and I'm committed to your success through the process.
I'm really looking forward to being back at Trident, sharing my skills and experiences where it's useful and continuing to learn from both colleagues and students. The road goes ever on and on.

Blog update--posted by Tony Garcia on 12/01/2006
Some of you may have noticed a huge lapse in posts here. Well, to be quite honest I have been too busy everywhere else in my life to blog.
Work has been a zoo. The election day preparations took too much of my time before the elections and my analysis of the elections (part of which was posted on this blog) forced me to look at an event that I was already sick of. That was energy zapping.
Projects for the radio show have me bogged down. We are hoping to complete "A Christmas Carol" in time for our Christmas Eve show. It is a tight schedule and I have people coming to my house to record their parts in what seems to be every other day. Finding the needed sounds, music and also adapting the story for radio was a huge task.
ThePete (co-author of this blog) has also been incredibly busy. He has been helping with technical upgrades for the Show's Discussion Board, building his own non-political discussion board, building a car or two, helping with the show's "A Christmas Carol" and who knows what else.
Additionally ThePete and I have been working on what will be the new Race to the Right website. It is not complete but take a peek...http://wiki.racetotheright.com.
So, I love blogging. But it always has been the most expendable thing on my plate. I would suggest, for the next several months at least, reading this blog with an RSS reader or something similar. Posts will be very infrequent at least until some of these projects for the show and some of the projects at home get completed. There are many good syndication feeds...Blog Lines, Google has a pretty good reader for your customizable home page, Pluck is another one...
Use them until we are able to post more regularly again.
Thank you.

When Does Risperdal Start Working?
Risperdal® (risperidone) is often prescribed for the treatment of autism, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. It comes in tablet form and is typically taken once or twice a day. Many people may wonder, "When does it start working?"
The recommended starting Risperdal dose for treating schizophrenia in adults is 1 mg or 2 mg twice daily. Usually, the dose can be increased slowly in the next few days. If no improvement is seen, your healthcare provider may increase your dose up to 16 mg total per day.
The usual starting dosage for bipolar disorder in adults is 2 mg to 3 mg once daily. Risperdal should start working around this time, but if your symptoms do not improve, your healthcare provider may increase your dose up to a maximum of 6 mg once daily.
For children weighing less than 44 pounds, the recommended starting dose of Risperdal is 0.25 mg once daily. For children weighting 44 pounds or over, the recommended starting dose is Risperdal 0.5 mg once daily. After a minimum of four days, your healthcare provider may increase the dose as needed to control symptoms of autism.
(Click Risperdal Dosage for more information on when the drug starts working, for more detailed Risperdal dosing guidelines, and for helpful tips on taking this medication.)

Before running the 40-yard dash Wednesday at Alabama's Pro Day, Bradley Bozeman shed his shirt, revealing a slimmer version of himself.
Picture respectable dad bod more than chiseled fitness model figure.
Bozeman has spent the offseason cutting weight to make himself more marketable to NFL talent evaluators, who seem to view the offensive lineman with a measure of skepticism.
The former Alabama center said he's dropped 32 pounds and now tips the scales at 296 -- the lightest he's been since seventh grade.
Whether that has helped change perceptions of the 6-foot-5 Bozeman is uncertain. At the end of that 40-yard dash Wednesday, he was clocked somewhere between 5.41 and 5.45 seconds.
"I gave it my best," Bozeman said, "and I'm good with that."
Bozeman has been subjected to much scrutiny. ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. called him an overachiever and some in NFL circles, Bozeman acknowledged, have questioned whether he has the raw physical ability to succeed as a pro.
"They have their doubts about my athleticism," he said after throwing up 225 pounds on the bench press 27 times Wednesday.
Bozeman wasn't invited to the league's scouting combine as a result. Instead, he had to rely on Alabama's showcase event to make an impression. In front of a gaggle of NFL front-office types as well as NFL head coaches Bill Belichick, Mike Vrabel, Mike Tomlin and Matt Patricia, Bozeman tried to make the case that he's worthy of being drafted.
"I think today, with all the people being here, really helps a guy like Bradley get exposure," Nick Saban said.
Not that he really needed it.
In the last three seasons, he's been on CBS 17 times and ESPN 15 more. He has had three appearances on ABC, too.
If NFL teams were watching, Saban said, then they would have observed that Bozeman excelled inside the lines.
"He played his position extremely well and was very consistent in his performance, and I think a lot of people are going to recognize that," Saban noted.
On Wednesday, they merely saw a reduced-sized Bozeman go through a bunch of tests.
"No one has really seen me at this weight before," he said.
And they may never again.
Bozeman plans to expand his diet again as he transforms back into a football player once again.
Asked if he's going to start packing some more on his plate, he smiled and said, "A little more than I have been."

"I wanted to live in the Uk but I just couldn't decide where. So instead of buying a house I've bought a camper. Now, I live where I want to live and If I feel like leaving, I move on."
Since Christmas Anna lives in Collin the Camper. The first of February Olle (The curious Malamute) joined her, now they're a perfect team.
Anna got rid of a lot of stuff, rented out her apartment and was free to go.
As a performance psychologist with her own business she lived the busy life in Amsterdam. With the need to prove, not only to herself but to everybody, she was able to have a blooming business as well as a busy social life. And she did, she proved it. With her own philosophy and all the knowledge she has, a lot of businesses and people were helped to be able to obtain an optimal sustainable performance. The balance in both physical and mental health.
Next to that she has also guided talented or professional athletes and trainers by giving strength training with a focus on weight- and powerlifting and injury rehab and -prevention.
"I've had issues like everybody has issues but I've worked hard and I'm okay with myself, okay with everything. You need to be okay with yourself because if you you live by yourself in a camper for longer periods you'll go crazy if you've got issues."
Tough woman, I hear you thinking. And she is. But next to the tough woman there is the warm, extremely happy woman who's completely at ease with herself. That's the first thing you notice as soon as you meet her. There's a contagious positive attitude and confidence around her that wants to make you go chase after your own dreams and adventures.
"The difference between living in the city and in the middle of nowhere couldn't be greater. When I spent my first night out in the camper I was afraid. I was all alone. However, I realized the things you have to be careful of in the city are not quite the same as the things in the middle of nowhere. For example, being a woman, walking on your own in the middle of the night in the city can be dangerous. But in the middle of nowhere? No, not there, it's much safer. On the other hand, when it's storming and raining like crazy, you don't need to worry that much. But when I'm in an open field, well, trust me, I am worrying. The same goes for running out of water or petrol."
"If I've learned one very important thing this whole journey, it is to put things in perspective. Things won't always go the way you like or go as planned. That's okay."
When she talks about this life, the beautiful moments and scary moments, you can see her face light up. If there's a nice job she'll go there, spread her energy and knowledge and then heads back to the land of the trees, mountains and quietness. Back to be on her own, with Olle as her companion or visiting friends and meeting interesting people, building strong and respectful relationships with them. "I'm made for a life like this!" And that's exactly what you see when she invites you into her world and get infected with the positive and powerful vibes she's breathing. <3

A bed bug infestation is a matter of concern for homeowners as these tiny intruders can give you sleepless nights. To add to your woes, they may bite you and result in skin allergies as well. Before you start looking for effective ways to get rid of them, there are some myths and facts about these creepy crawlies that you need to know. Here are some major bed bug myths debunked if you want them to go fast and for good.
Myth #1: Bed bugs travel by hitchhiking on fabric
If you think that these tiny organisms get transported only by sticking to clothing, you have your facts wrong. Bed bugs can crawl down hallways, climb up through the walls and even travel through electrical outlets to reach your bed. So if your neighboring apartments have them, your chances of getting them are high enough even if they do not visit your place.
Myth #2: A blow dryer can help you to get rid of them
Another myth is that you can wipe them away completely by using a blow dryer. Heat does kill bed bugs but only if you concentrate it long enough in the infested area. A hair dryer can flush them out of the nooks and crannies as they are unable to tolerate hot wind. However, this will not kill them unless you are able to give them heat till they are dead.
Myth #3: You can get rid of bed bugs yourself
You may want to work on an infestation to save money but there is a lot that goes into getting rid of these pesky creatures for good. The best approach would be to avail professional bed bug services because they will prove to be cost-effective in the end. DIY may save you some money but you may end up with severe allergies if the bugs still stay there. Also, you may have to throw things out and ultimately have to spend on professional services.
Myth #4: Cayenne pepper can kill bed bugs
You may have heard people claiming that cayenne pepper worked for them but it is just a myth. It can neither kill bed bugs nor finish off their eggs completely. Only professional exterminators know the best and safest chemical treatments for bed bugs. Rather than trying home remedies like cayenne pepper and natural oils, check out with professionals who offer effective extermination services.
Myth #5: Once they are gone, they will never be back
Do not be happy if you have cleared these irritating enemies because they can come back any time. They can survive for months and strike back again. So if you have a major infestation, you may require extermination time and again. This is a worthwhile expense because you would want your home and health to be fully protected against them.
These myths and facts give a clear idea about these troublesome little pests. If they do enter your place somehow, you need to take all measures to throw them out. Just keeping your place clean does not guarantee that they will not come because these tiny enemies can strike any time.

"i've planted some dry beans. we have been storing some in our preparedness suppiles. however, my garden is just an average size, and i question whether or not i have enough planted to make it worth while. how do you calculate your yield from a packet of seed?
Hi Lynn,
Thank you for the email regarding dry beans. In general, a packet (1 or 2 ounces, depending on the variety) will plant about a 20 foot row. From there, that gets a little bit more tricky, as each variety kind of has it's own range for yields. In general, pole beans will have more pods than bush beans because there is more biomass available for pods to grow on. In terms of the soil you have, heavier soils with more clay will have a little bit less yield than a sandy soil because there is more of a risk of various bean diseases and root rots.
In general, based on my own gardening experience, I yield about 1/2 to 3/4 of a brown paper shopping bag off of a packet of bush beans and about 3/4 to a full bag off of pole beans. The lower end of the range is from when I was living in an area with very heavy, black clay soil, and the upper range from when I was living at our current home with sandy loam soil. Once the beans are thrashed, I usually have about 1 to 1 1/2 plastic ice cream pails (5-quart type) from the bush and 1 1/3 to 2 full plastic ice cream pails from the pole beans. Again, it varies depending on the variety, with the larger beans producing more pails of beans.
I hope this information helps you out. If you have particular varieties that you are interested in, let me know. I keep garden journals off of my gardening yields for fun and can easily look up particular varieties to see how they perform. Also, if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Customer experience optimized with advanced personalization
Desjardins Online Brokerage offers several training and information sessions through a specialized event management site. When they approached Dialog Insight to realize their event management and personalized email interface, they had several goals in mind:
Optimize efficiency using a high performance solution
Automate processes and centralize client knowledge
Automate emails and reminders
Personalize event alerts
Offer an innovative user experience
A user-friendly event management interface
The project started with the implementation of an online event management center. This user-friendly interface offers an easy and efficient way for organizers to enter events, and for users to search for and register to events. It also offers various filters to make it easier to find an event in the calendar.
Month or list display
By location and distance from a given location
By topic
By language
By level (for trainings)
By speaker
By event type
Registration forms are available by clicking on the selected event and registrations are entirely automated and processed through Dialog Insight's platform.
Automation process
People registered to events are automatically integrated in Desjardins Online Brokerage's main database, where automated confirmation and reminder messages are sent from.
The registration process allows participants to also subscribe to alerts for events to come, and to various communications from Desjardins Online Brokerage.
Users can choose which events they want to be notified of by email using various criteria:
Type of event
Training level
Distance from user's location
Then, through an automated task, alerts are sent once a week to all Desjardins Online Brokerage contacts who have subscribed to such alerts. Each message is dynamic and includes only the events that match each user's preferences.
Desjardins Online Brokerage's emails have also been created with a responsive design as to display properly whether viewed on a mobile device, a tablet or a computer, thus always offering a top-notch user experience.
An advanced personalization experience
Event related emails can be extremely personalized. There are as many possibilities as there are subscribers. The alert message is offered in two formats, with a single event or multiple ones. The challenge here was to display events in emails based on both the event's particulars and the subscriber's preferences. Each event can therefore be displayed very differently, depending on whether there is one or more speakers, a picture or none, one or more dates available, fees, etc.
"Dynamic emails were a big challenge, but Dialog Insight handled it brilliantly. These messages are now perfectly adapted to each user's preferences, with no effort from our team."

$7 Billion Later, Shell to Withdraw from Arctic Oil Drilling
"The entire episode has been a very costly error for the company both financially and reputationally," said analysts at Deutsche Bank, who estimate the Shell's Arctic exploration project could cost the company about $9 billion.
Low oil prices played a major role as well, write Clifford Krauss and Stanley Reed of The New York Times.
(A)t at a time when global markets are glutted with oil, thanks to the advent of new drilling techniques, the announcement also confirmed major oil companies' increasing willingness to turn their backs on the most expensive new drilling prospects in the Gulf of Mexico and suspend plans for new projects in Canada's oil sands.
Low oil prices plus the high cost of drilling caused Chevron "to drop their test well drilling program in Canada's Beaufort Sea" last December. They are hardly alone.
"Earlier this year, Norway's Statoil postponed its Arctic Johan Castberg project again and in 2012 Russia's Gazprom, together with Total and Statoil, scrapped the Shtokman gas project in the Arctic Barents Sea," writes Schaps.
The title of our May 2012 post of Shell's initial exploration, "Arctic Drilling: From Improbable To Inevitable," could not appear at this time to be further from the truth, at least as long as oil prices remain so low.
This is the Shell's second setback in Arctic drilling. In December 2013, "(o)ne of Shell Oil's two Arctic drilling rigs beached on an island in the Gulf of Alaska, threatening environmental damage from a fuel spill and calling into question Shell's plans to resume drilling in the treacherous waters north of Alaska in the summer," according to The New York Times.
"Environmentalists, who have criticized Shell's drilling plans in an area that is home to populations of whales, walrus and polar bears, claimed victory," adds Schaps.
* "The 'unpredictable regulatory environment' that forced Shell out of the Arctic is otherwise known as massive pressure from more than seven million people," Greenpeace UK executive director John Sauven said.

Rangers' Log
During the period of July 12-16, U.S. Park Rangers at Grand Canyon National Park responded to the following incidents:
Thursday, July 12
o A Grand Canyon woman (name withheld, age not reported) was cited for unreasonable noise stemming from a water fight at Maswik Cabins.
o A Grand Canyon man (name withheld, age not reported) was cited for under the influence of alcohol after he was found lying on the pavement in front of Maswik Lodge.
o An emergency medical call was taken at the 1.5-Mile Rest House of a 36-year-old man with a history of hypertension complaining of exhaustion and vomiting. Preventative Search and Rescue rangers responded and found no indications of dehydration or other problems. The man rested and hiked out on his own.
o An emergency medical call was taken at Crystal Rapid of a 49-year-old woman with an injury to her right hand. While on a river trip, the woman's hand was pinned between the raft and its frame, resulting in possible fractured fingers and bleeding. The woman was flown out and transported to Grand Canyon Walk-In Clinic.
o Rangers received a call at 8 p.m. of a hiker 3/4 of a mile down the Bright Angel Trail who was off the trail and "not mentally coherent." While a hasty search was in progress, the reporting party indicated that the hiker had made it off the trail at 8:30 p.m. as evidenced by two separate contacts from NPS rangers.
Friday, July 13
o Rangers responded to a report of neglected puppies at a Trailer Village address. On arrival, rangers found the puppies had no water, no identification and were being self-choked by their metal chain. There was no one at the residence, so the puppies were taken to the Grand Canyon Kennel.
o A 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy were contacted for possession of marijuana in the woods between the General Offices and Shrine of the Ages. Juvenile referrals were filed.
o Ian Ronk, 20, Grand Canyon, was cited for minor consumption of alcohol.
o An emergency medical call was taken at Crystal Rapid of a 42-year-old man with a chest injury and possible fractured ribs. Two aircraft flying over the area had seen mirror flashes and called dispatch. The man, who was injured in a kayaking accident, was flown out and transferred to Grand Canyon Walk-In Clinic.
o An emergency medical call involving two individuals was taken at Phantom Ranch. One visitor was suffering from heat-related illness and dehydration while the other was suffering from hyponatremia. Both received care throughout the previous night from Phantom Ranch personnel. They were simultaneously flown out.
o Rangers reported a boat accident a Devil's Cove within Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Meadview rangers responded and found the vessel had struck a shallow reef. A 31-year-old woman was flown to a Las Vegas hospital and the operator was arrested for boating under the influence.
Saturday, July 14
o Nilton Nez, 27, Grand Canyon, was cited for shoplifting a bottle of alcohol from Canyon View Marketplace.
o An emergency medical call was taken (site not reported) of a 19-year-old man with a rash on his upper body. The patient self-transported to Flagstaff Medical Center.
Sunday, July 15
o Rangers responded to a report of a motor-vehicle accident in the Market View Plaza parking lot between a motor home and a Camero. There were no injuries.
o Rangers responded to a vehicle striking a tree along East Rim Drive. The driver reported the accident after arriving in Grand Canyon Village. There was property damage only.
o Rangers responded to an alarm at the Community Building. The alarm was caused by fault in a phone line. It was silenced and Grand Canyon Association was notified.
o Rangers received a report of a white male who approached a visitor's child behind the Bright Angel Lodge along the rim. The only information available was a white male wearing a baseball cap. The parents advised officials that they were so offended, they were leaving the park immediately. Rangers responded, however, could not locate anyone matching the description given.
o Rangers responded to a report of a woman screaming her daughter's name at the El Tovar Hotel. The mother and daughter were reunited before rangers' arrival.
o Rangers contacted a family at a Desert View parking lot with a disabled rental vehicle that required tow service. The family waited 2 1/2 hours for assistance from Fred Harvey Garage.
o Rangers reported that the Desert View and Mather campgrounds were full and overflow campers were found in several parking lots and overlooks.
o An emergency medical call was taken at Trailer Village of a 16-year-old girl with mild hyponatremia symptoms. The girl was transported to Flagstaff Medical Center.
o Rangers received a report of a plane crash at an air strip near Cliff Dwellers. The single-engine turbo plane carried two passengers, both receiving minor injuries. The crash site was not within Park Service boundaries.
o Rangers received a report of a 21-year-old man who was overdue from a hike. The man left Friday morning with an itinerary of hiking down Grandview Trail across the Tonto Trail to the South Kaibab Trail and down to Phantom Ranch in one day. Friends of the hiker reported him missing when he failed to show up for work Sunday morning. Searches began late Sunday afternoon and the man was found on the Tonto Trail at Boulder Creek. He was flown out for medical evaluation. The hiker had not had food or water since Friday afternoon.
o Rangers assisted the Navajo Police Department in a search for a Flagstaff resident who was overdue hiking to Sipapu on the Little Colorado River, about seven miles upstream from the confluence with the Colorado River. The subject walked out on his own.
o An emergency medical call was taken on the Bright Angel Trail of a 17-year-old girl with a sore knee. Preventative Search and Rescue rangers helped the girl walk out from the second tunnel on the trail.
o An emergency medical call was taken on the South Kaibab Trail of a 16-year-old girl with an ankle injury. The girl was assisted down the trail to the landing zone at Cedar Ridge, flown out and transported to Grand Canyon Walk-In Clinic.
o Rangers responded to a report via satellite phone of a commercial motor boat stuck on a rock at River Mile 105. Whitewater rescuers were inserted less than a mile upstream of the boat via helicopter and swam with boogie boards for access. Two rescuers spent the night on rafts with passengers. They secured the boat with were able to work it free in rising water at first light. The rescuers were then evacuated via helicopter in the morning.
Monday, July 16
o Rangers received a report of a hit-and-run accident on Hermit Road at around 1 p.m. at the First Trail overlook. No injuries were reported.
o Rangers responded to a motor-vehicle accident involving a minivan and a full-size van. The full-size van had been driving in reverse along South Village loop. The minivan received damage. There were no injuries.
o An emergency medical call was taken about one mile down the South Kaibab Trail of a 16-year-old girl with an injured ankle. The girl was assisted to Cedar Ridge and evacuated via helicopter and transferred to Grand Canyon Walk-In Clinic.

The intensity of a light source reaching any surface is measured in units of lux. Natural bright sunlight produces about 70,000-80,000 lux, although much of this is lost by the time it reaches aquatic plants. The lux requirement of aquarium plants varies between roughly 300 and 6,000 lux, depending on the species. Plants such as Anubias and Cryptocoryne spp., which are often found in shaded streams, require less light than plants found on or above the water surface and in open, shallow areas, such as dwarf Echinodorus and Myriophyllum. Lux can be measured by a photographic luxmeter, although measuring lux readings in the aquarium to ensure correct light intensity is unnecessary. It is much better to start by looking at the output of various light sources.
The output from a light source is measured in lumens. (Lux is a measure of lumens per square meter.) If the optimum output of light is achieved, taking Into account losses of light, it should be possible to ensure that the plants receive the correct amount of illumination. As a rough guide, a standard, rectangular, planted aquarium will require around 30-50 lumens per liter of water.
The efficiency of a light source can be measured by the amount of lumens produced per watt. An artificial light source uses electricity (watts) and converts it into light and heat. A fluorescent tube never gets very hot, and can be touched when in use. This is because most of the electricity used is converted into light, making a fluorescent tube very efficient. On the other hand, a 60-watt household incandescent tube will get much hotter and produce less light than one 60-watt fluorescent tube (or two 30-watt tubes). However, this does not mean that the most efficient light source is always the best one. For larger and deeper aquariums, a number of fluorescent tubes may be needed to produce enough output
(lumens). Each of these fluorescent tubes requires costly starter units and space above the aquarium. Before long, the cost and practicality of fluorescent tubes may become unwarranted and you should consider alternative light sources.
Although less efficient than fluorescent lamps, because they produce more heat and less light per watt, mercury-vapor or metal-halide lamps (halogen) lamps are a good choice. Their much higher wattage ensures a higher light output and higher light intensity. Initially these lamps may seem expensive, but compared to the equivalent light output of fluorescent tubes, they are actually considerably cheaper.
Lumen: Unit of luminous energy, historically the light from one candle. Lux: Unit of illumination representing one lumen falling on one square meter. Watt: Unit of electrical power.

_ KflJWUU
the surface of plant leaves. Suspended debris In the aquarium water can cut down the amount of light reaching the plants quite considerably, but is easily removed using a fine floss medium in the filter. Cover glasses and condensation trays can screen out up to 30% of the light output from a given source. Plastic condensation trays are particularly bad in this respect because they quickly discolor and are difficult to clean. If possible, use glass covers and clean them on a weekly basis to reduce any significant loss of light. The light from fluorescent tubes is given off in all directions and much is lost as it is absorbed by the aquarium hood or released through the aquarium glass. Using specially designed reflectors, you can angle the light so that it is only directed into the water and not outward. Reflectors can increase the effectiveness of fluorescent tubes by up to 40%.
What we can conclude from looking at different types of light is that the best type of light depends on the function it is required to perform. Household incandescent lights are inefficient and produce a lot of heat, but are very cheap and ideal for domestic use. Fluorescent tubes are very efficient and relatively cheap if used in small numbers, and ideal for smaller planted aquariums. The less efficient, but higher output/intensity lamps are ideal for larger planted tanks. Remember that it is often better to provide too much light rather than too little, although far too much light will be damaging. When choosing the correct lighting for a particular system, the four main factors to consider are:
1. Efficiency (output in relation to power consumption)
2. Output/Intensity
3. Initial cost
4. Light spectrum
Fluorescent tubes emit light by electrically charging a gas contained within the tube. The light produced by the gas is mostly in the invisible areas of the spectrum, but the fluorescent coating on the inside of the tube converts this into visible light. By altering the chemical coating on the inside of the tube, the spectrum of light emitted can be changed, so fluorescent tubes can be designed for specific purposes and to emit specific colors. Fluorescent tubes designed for aquarium plant growth often produce a red-yellow or red-violet-blue color, which, although ideal for plants, may give the aquarium a slightly garish look. To remedy this, full-spectrum tubes can be added to balance the color output.
Fluorescent tubes are the most widely used method of lighting aquariums,
How light is lost in the aquarium
Particles in the water will soak up a large amount of light.
Some light is lost through ^ the aquarium glass.
Large-leaved and tall plants take up light in the upper areas of the aquarium and reduce the light reaching smaller and/or lower plants.
Plants toward the bottom of the aquarium receive only a small proportion of the emitted light.
Large-leaved and tall plants take up light in the upper areas of the aquarium and reduce the light reaching smaller and/or lower plants.
Light from a fluorescent tube is emitted in all directions.
Particles in the water will soak up a large amount of light.
Some light is lost through ^ the aquarium glass.
Condensation trays must be kept clean to reduce light absorption.
Some light is refracted and/or reflected from the water surface.
Reflectors help to redirect light into the aquarium.
As light passes through the water, its spectrum is altered and intensity is reduced as it is absorbed and converted into heat energy.
mainly because they are very efficient, use little electricity, and are relatively cheap when used in small numbers. Most fluorescent tubes will last up to two years before they start to flicker and eventually become useless. However, their light output drops considerably within the first year of use, so the tubes become less effective and useful for plants unless they are changed at least once a year. Fluorescent tubes are by far the best lighting solution for smaller or shallow tanks, but for deeper or larger tanks or for plants that require intense lighting, there are other alternatives.
Although light is measured in lumens and lux (see page 60), fluorescent tubes vary in the intensity and output of light depending on the chemical coating used inside the tube and are rarely labeled in lumens or lux. Fluorescent tubes can be adequately rated for most purposes by the wattage of the light tube rather than its output of light. In aquariums that are 15 in (38 cm) deep or less, use 1.5-2 watts of light for every 4 liters (about 1 gallon) of aquarium water.
Metal-halide, or halogen, lamps provide intense, high-output light via a tungsten filament. They are ideally suited to deeper aquariums, with a water depth of 24 in (60 cm) or more. Suspended at least 12 in (30 cm) above the aquarium to allow ample ventilation, a single unit will illuminate approximately 2 ft2 (1,800 cm2) of surface area. (An aquarium 24 in/60 cm long and 12 in/30 cm wide.) Halogen lights are usually available in 150-watt or
250-watt versions; a 150-watt light should provide a suitable output for most aquariums. (250-watt versions are better suited to marine invertebrate aquariums, where demand for light from corals is higher.) You may need more than one lamp for aquariums longer than 42 in (107 cm). Halogen lights are initially the most costly method of lighting, but provide the best output for demanding aquarium plants.
Like halogen lamps, mercury vapor lamps are suspended above the aquarium and provide a high-intensity light that is able to penetrate deeper water than fluorescent tubes. For aquariums with a depth of 18-24 in (45-60 cm), mercury vapor lamps

The word aquarium originates from the ancient Latin language, aqua meaning water and the suffix rium meaning place or building. Aquariums are beautiful and look good anywhere! Home aquariums are becoming more and more popular, it is a hobby that many people are flocking too and fish shops are on the rise. Fish are generally easy to keep although do they need quite a bit of attention. Puppies and kittens were the typical pet but now fish are becoming more and more frequent in house holds. In recent years fish shops have noticed a great increase in the rise of people wanting to purchase aquariums and fish, the boom has been great for local shops as the fish industry hasnt been such a great industry before now.

Background Pickle Jobs
If you want a nice-looking, what do you do blog header image? If you want to have an info-graphic, what do you do? What do you do if you in the Event That You want: Pickle Jobs
- A new emblem
- A physical product layout
- Images for your child's birthday celebration
- A PDF to appear professional designed
- An advertisement designed
- Sales page graphics
- T-shirt layouts
Well, all Of much more and these things are jobs which Design Pickle has done over the past few months for me. So, you could post and out a project for a graphic designer every time you've got a tiny design work to do.
Or you could get it all done in 1 place. Oh, and it is"infinite" (more on this later) layouts for a flat monthly fee.
Inside This Design Pickle Review Plan to discuss what I like, what I do not enjoy, and what I've learned over the last year as I've used Design Pickle for my own design needs.
I highly recommend that you check out Design Pickle Right Here.
What's DESIGN PICKLE?
In Case You Haven't discovered, Design Pickle is an all-in-one graphic design service for one flat monthly fee. You can get unlimited designs.
Alright, However, what does"unlimited" really mean? About the design pickle website it says,"unlimited requests","unlimited revisions","unlimited brands". All those things are true. But, I want you to go in with a transparent comprehension of what that means.
Sure, you can submit infinite Requests and have brands that are boundless, but it does not mean you will acquire unlimited actual designs done. I shouldn't expect to get 1 million special design tasks done in a month for just $370 if I submit 1 million project requests in a month. That is crazy talk.
The way it works is that you've got Basically one designer assigned to your accounts. That same graphic designer also functions on a couple of different accounts (you aren't the only client they work with).
Basically, a Number of your tasks will Get finished slower or faster depending on how active they are. But what I've found is that I can usually expect 2 or 3 graphic design jobs to be finished a day.
This depends on the complexity. Straightforward jobs will get done, more complicated tasks will take. Pickle Jobs
My experience with Design Pickle
I have been a customer for more than Submitted 1800 and 3 years + design requests.
When I subscribed, we Had a rocky beginning but that was my fault.
I learned the Layouts I have back were only as good as the design brief they had to work with.
So, I knuckled down and composed Out a template brief that included as much info as you can.
This made it crazy for Me to fill but nevertheless gave my designer enough info to work with.
And I've had The same dedicated designer, John (he's amazing ). We have worked together for so long that he knows exactly what sort of images I am searching for.
You have to scroll Through our website archives to see lots of illustrations.
And based Seen for different clients, Design Pickle is capable of a lot more!
7 items I seriously adore about Design Pickle
Committed designer — Working with a single designer (unless they are on holiday) means they know which kind of pictures I like. Great for consistency. My devoted designer, John, is incredible.
No contracts — I can cancel my plan anyhow. But I get so much value out of this service that I don't think I'll ever cancel.
The service is rock solid — Design Pickle have been going for a little while now. I've been a customer for over 3 years. The processes and support team they have in place is outstanding. I've signed up for services from other suppliers that offer similar"unlimited" style offerings and one in particular just wasted my cash because they did not have the kinks worked out in their services. This is not true with Design Pickle — they know what they're doing and they provide.
Tremendous number of layout resources — Working for so many customers means access to more design assets. This saves time for everyone and the upside to your client is more high-quality imagery.
Choice of which file types you receive delivered — You have to choose which file types have been delivered. If you'd like editable documents like PSD's, AI documents, etc you can select which you want. You will also get the"ready to use" type files like PNG, JPG etc.. And you also can specify which file types when submitting your petition.
Unlimited projects — that I run a lot of different websites, which list is only likely to increase. But that's not going to be an issue
My branding resources are stored on file to save everyone time — Whenever I launch a new site, I ship the branding resources (logo documents, etc) to support and they receive them stored. I simply have to specify the project in the subject line of my email and they do the rest. How I utilize Design Pickle right now
Since I'm asked about my Graphics so much, I wanted to discuss a bit more on exactly how I utilize Design Pickle right now.
When a new blog article is Completed I will decide whether we need an in-content image any of the content. If it does, I will write up a brief and submit it to Design Pickle through email.
I will talk about this Briefs in a moment, but it is going to generally include a detailed description of everything I need, required links and image dimensions for inspiration to image illustrations. Pickle Jobs
Then I have three templates For three different layout briefs:
Featured images
Each set of images Are focused around a single design concept, with"flat" styled pictures. They are cartoony, but not 3D.
I ask for the picture Delivered in several different sizes:
700 x 300 pixels — This features a flat/cartoon-like picture overlayed on a background. The image dimensions are what I use for my featured image in WordPress
1200 x 628 pixels — This picture is the same as above. And is sized for when content is shared with networks like LinkedIn and Facebook. We use a plugin called Social Warfare to our share buttonsthat allows us to upload additional picture sizes for specific social networks.
1080 x 1080 pixels — This is the picture we use for discussing on Instagram.
What is About ordering these dimensions great is I have an whole collection of images that I can use for your own blog and social networks that are popular.
Extra Pinterest images
While pictures are Great for branding, that they don't always work as well on Pinterest.
Thus, I submit a request for Images that I will share to Pinterest. They will look completely different, although these be the normal 735 x 1102 size and can have our logo on.
In my petition, I'll send 3 Titles for inspiration for the post and example graphics.
This gives me the capacity to Experiment with different layouts, and schedule hooks throughout the entire year for additional exposure. And because a pin's lifespan is more than any other type of networking content, the results could be great.
Detailed Pinterest graphics
Pinterest is a traffic Powerhouse so I've been working on boosting my Pinterest game.
Infographics typically do They may be expensive which makes scaling tricky.
Here's what I do instead:
I produce a short and snappy Headline based on the original post title. I then look over the article to find some information that might be utilised in a graphic that is standalone.
Depending upon the size of the Post, this may be a list of each of the suggestions in a single post or it might be the sub-headings in just a section of the post.
The Wonderful thing about these Kinds of images is that they can promote sharing more, and also add immediate value for your reader. Pickle Jobs
Each of these brief's Counts as one petition. So I am submitting 3 requests, depending on how many pictures we need.
And any — I won't be needed by some Like imagery to be purposeful as possible.
It's also worth noting that We'll sometimes use in-content blog pictures to promote the post.
As Our Instagram plan is built by me, I'll be making changes to this framework. I will likely expand my design asks for every post to add quotes and suggestions from blog posts.
I highly recommend that you check out Design Pickle Right Here.
A few other ways I use Design Pickle
I mostly use Design Pickle But there are a couple ways I leverage their solutions.
For example, I had a symbol for One project that was not large enough resolution — they switched it to a vector graphic and delivered a higher resolution image.
Then there is the editing of Old pictures on the site — especially infographics.
Exterior of editing Pictures, they create a few stellar images that I use when upgrading older content too.
In my article on SEO Tactics, I discuss the importance of moving over old articles and updating them.
This can Help You to Get a nice Bump of visitors — especially from search engines.
The Majority of the time folks Upgrade the material but what will help push things further is new imagery. Notably vision that other individuals are going to want to reference in their articles (that means backlinks + more traffic for you).
I did a whole About how best to decide on a niche for your blog rewrite. I wrote it years ago and it was in need of an upgrade.
To follow the rewrite, I Had Design Pickle create an original pair of images that are featured in addition to some images that are in-content .
This comprised a custom graphic To back up one of the points in my article:
At the End of this post I included a listing of market ideas. So instead of displaying this we exhibited the information as an image.
So I will not it's a image that is large Include it here, but it's at the bottom of this article, if you want to take a look.
The upside?
These Two custom article Images are assets. This means they may be leveraged for link construction purposes! And utilized in networking campaigns.
It does require a subscription to, to get pictures like these Getty Images. This is managed by Design Pickle directly, so you just pay an extra $25/month. Well worth it, in my own opinion.
If you Are like me, you really want to understand what the line is. Are you going to be paying more or less using Design Pickle? Can it make more sense to hire a graphic designer to get tasks or use their service? Pickle Jobs
You will have to think through The calculation for your company because you may have less complex or more tasks you will request.
Here's my thought process:
To get a very blog It would cost me anywhere from $10 to $100. Just people would spend over $50 though.
I believe $10 to $30 is a secure For how much a typical designer would charge for blog header image that is first Suppose. In the event that you should hire a freelance graphic designer for a logo, you can get something from the $30 to $50 range, and that's considered really cheap.
A US based graphic design company Would cost more or $800. Sorry for throwing you under the bus US folks…
I figure I will get at least two Jobs done. So, 2 occupations x $20 (and this could be on the low end) is $40 per day, or $1200 a month.
Therefore, yes…my calculations reveal that In the event you utilize Design Pickle enough, it's definitely worth the price.
But, another benefit that is huge is The ease of use. My programmer is becoming used to my style and therefore it quick to order jobs.
That Are it. When I went to Upwork, I'd have to explain the task in detail, wade through applicants, hope they know my new, etc.. It would be a more time consuming than using Design Pickle.
I think it's also worth Mentioning that design pickle has access to inventory graphics or stock images they can use. What this signifies is that you don't need to pay for or offer any stock photos.
By Way of Example, let's say I needed a Professional picture with text layover of a couple. I would tell them to add these words that are specific and to go find a stock picture of a couple sitting on a bench.
I really don't pay for the stock photograph, Design Pickle already has it.
As mentioned, I have been using Design Pickle now for about a year. During that time, I've had them create graphics for all my businesses. I'd like to provide a few examples below.
I have used Design Pickle to create a few logos for me. For instance, below is the logo for the new AMZ Picture pluginthanks to Design Pickle.
Item Design and Graphics
I've used Design Pickle a number Of occasions to take my raw Amazon product images and make them look nice. This might be added graphics and descriptions to the pictures to callout attributes. Or it might be to simply enhance the photos in some manner.
You can utilize Design Pickle to Do much more, software boxes and ebook covers.
Facebook Ads
We use design pickle all the time To design nice looking Facebook advertisements. Pickle Jobs
Printables with Pictures
Yes, this Is for my Mother blog. The possibilities are endless with printables. If you can dream it up, then Design Pickle can help design it.
Blog Header Pictures
The professional services are used by me at Design Pickle all the time for blog header pictures. This is a great way to spruce up a blog post to make it look professional, which subsequently helps readers stick. And most of us understand that time onsite can really help your site rank better. Does Design Pickle help your website rank better in Google?
PowerPoint or Google Slide Presentations
I've used their service Create my presentations look professional on a number of occasions.
Revenue Videos, PDFs, and more
I've used a ton of graphics in my Revenue PDFs and movies. If you wished to write an ebook and sell it online, you can increase the perceived value of the PDF publication using Design Pickle undergo and make it look great for you.
I've done this a few times now.
I had Design Pickle perform a Product designs for me. Yep, physical product designs. Basically, I'll have the concept of the product and they will whip up a visual prototype for me I can send to some producer.
How to get the maximum from Design Pickle
The designs which are Delivered are as good as the brief you submit.
And to save As you can, you need to create.
Here are some good things to Include in your brief:
A comprehensive description of everything you need
Links to examples for inspiration
your intended audience
Color's to use, or to not use
Picture sizes (you may request a number of sizes if you prefer )
Any other notes you believe will help your designer
The more info you Include in your short, the less likely you will need revisions. And that's a good thing because your designer can be working on layouts instead of designs.
I advocate submitting requests in batches. This signifies submitting them back to back and is gathering your orders up.
Batching, Generally Speaking, is a Great way to improve productivity.
And even if I Didn't, sure, graphics would work out expensive. But the reality is that they'll still be much better price and better quality than if I had been to get them from everywhere.
Who is Design Pickle for?
If Your blog is at a place where it is making money, and you're taking a look at ways to scale — Design Pickle is a great way to offload easy design jobs.
This means you can claw back Some of your time and spend it.
Finally, you need to be Able to justify the cost, like with any purchase. But in addition, you have to have the ability to submit layout requests for it to be worthwhile.
And I'm getting requests Because my layout queue fills up, Finished for under $10 each is — there is always something for my own designer. And if my layout queue was only half full, it would still be worthwhile. Pickle Jobs
I bootstrapped the launch of Before it made more than sufficient money to cover costs similar to 22, My website and did all of the design work. It is only a case of waiting until the time was appropriate for a service such as this.
It's also worth noting that in case you can't convey what You need in an email, Design Pickle likely is not for you.
They do not offer Logobranding and's and for good reason — all these are specialized solutions which are more expensive. They can do infographics but you will need to supply data/stats and provide them an excess day since they to make.
I offset Design Pickle Services with a lot of services. By way of instance, I employ a designer on Fiverr for my logos called Obus — he is outstanding.
And for I, infographics Sometimes utilize PeoplePerHour since I can get content repurposed to a few formats at precisely the same time.
The chances are much More than I could pay in this one blog post. For any project that you may be doing that could require graphic design, you can use Design Pickle for this.
You Need to decide if Design Pickle is ideal for your company. Can you afford to invest $370 per month? Will using more images that is professional help increase your earnings or brand value by greater than the total cost of the service.
In my case, the answer is definitely yes. Pickle Jobs
I highly recommend that you check out Design Pickle Right Here.

Although my writings have been focused primarily on a specific theme, you can also see that these stories show parallels to significant social themes such as community, music and the positive outcomes of integrating a non-western culture into the mainstream.
