|CoE Annual General Meeting 2017 - Students' Election
As communicated to you, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) shall be held on Friday 24th February 2017. At 5.45p.m. The undersigned has received two student nominations in total for election on the executive council. The number of vacancies for student members is that of one and hence an election needs to be held as detailed in the statute of the Chamber of Engineers. At a meeting held on the 24th January 2017, the council agreed to provide student members with the possibility of voting by post.
Short biographies of the nominees can be viewed here. You are kindly invited to vote either by post or during the AGM itself. A postal voting document is also in the post together with the short bios, election procedures and guidelines, a voting document specimen, a self addressed and prepaid envelope and the numbered ballot envelope with a covering letter. This is for those who have already paid their 2017 membership fee and any arrears.
Those who have not yet paid their 2017 membership fee or any arrears the bios only are included with the covering letter. Those members who did not yet pay their fee can still attend the AGM and vote, provided they renew their membership at the door.
Voting documents that are submitted by post must reach PO Box 02 Zabbar by latest noon of Tuesday 21st February 2017. The paid up members who intend to come to the 24th February AGM and wish to vote at the AGM rather then sending the voting document by post, are reminded to get the voting document and ballot envelope with them on the 24th February. All voting documents will be placed in a sealed box and opened only during the AGM at the counting stage of the election.
Despite of the possibility for students to vote by post, members are still strongly encouraged to participate in the AGM. Much is being discussed and actioned during these crucial times for our profession and your involvement and support is highly appreciated. We cordially remind you of the following AGM agenda:
1. Reading and approval of minutes
2. Matters arising
3. Correspondence
4. President's address
5. Treasurer's report
6. Motions and amendments to the Statute
7. Election of Auditors
8. Other matters
9. Election of Council Members (Opening of Voting Session)

The minimalistic white and red aesthetics not only captures the essence of the advertised medical product but also mirrors its' packaging design. A round letter "O" highlighted in Kagocel's logo became a starting point for various 3D transformations. No doubt, this dynamic, imaginative, clean and playful advertisement stands out from many others. It proved to be successful and has already evolved into a series.

hopefully he just tires out
Such a beautiful bird!
I think I never seen a similar one here or in Russia.
Probably he just wanted to say HI to his new neighbours ;)
Oh boy. Oh me oh my, I hope you don't get what we got last year. We had a cardinal that, literally, started in the spring and didn't finish until the end of summer. Every day - all day. lol Maybe this one is a little smarter. Great shots, too.
This is amazing!!! Because every spring it happens on our living room window too! I am calling my husband: "Look that crazy bird is here again", and I am always worried it will hurt itself! Yes, funny birds - in the name of Love! :-)
Thank you for sharing those awesome photos, I tried too, but did not succeed well.
Wishing you a happy day!
Does it help if you pull the shades? I'd be worried he could hurt himself, too. But he's so pretty!
He is a beautiful bird! I wonder what he's up to as well!
Every spring the evening grossbeaks migrate though, and they hit our windows with alarmingly loud booms. Usually they are ok-just dazed for a few minutes. We've tried putting hawk silhouettes on the windows, and closing the curtains, but neither does any good. Poor birds! But they sure are pretty too:)
Your photos are gorgeous Lisa!!
I love the photos in this entry! We have a cardinal who has been doing the same thing at the windows of our new house! Every day he is there tap-tapping at the windows.

We are living in days of rapid change and it can be difficult to keep up with that change; particularly when it occurs in an area that is not our specialism.
While many churches have some members who are involved in safeguarding in some capacity or other, many do not, and so keeping up with changes in the fast moving world of safeguarding can be challenging. Just keeping up with the changes in legislation and guidance can be difficult enough, but the more subtle changes in expectations from Local Authorities and Safeguarding Children & Adults Boards can pass us undetected.
Current and historic cases of abuse have led to a situation where there is increased scrutiny of any organisation involved with children, young people or vulnerable adults. This statement is true across the sector and churches, faith groups and other voluntary sector organisations are not exempt. In the past, there had been an assumption in society at large that people who give their time to charitable work on a voluntary basis were basically trustworthy. Revelations about historic and current abuse within the voluntary sector (including churches) have meant that there is now a perception that smaller organisations are less safe because they have less resources to scrutinise and supervise staff and so it may be easier for an abuser to operate within undetected.
In addition to this there has been a move over recent years away from a prescriptive approach to safeguarding to an approach that focuses on achieving the desired outcomes. On the one hand, this provides greater flexibility for churches to define systems that work effectively for them (so long as they comply with the Local Safeguarding Board procedures) but the flip side is that this requires greater understanding of the issues and places a greater responsibility on the church leaders to apply that increased understanding in an effective, appropriate and proportionate way.
Another major shift has been the emphasis on the responsibility to report poor practice or inappropriate conduct, often referred to as whistleblowing. Historical and current cases have emphasised the importance of challenging and investigating individuals who may pose a risk to children. The recent Royal Commission report will undoubtedly provoke a discussion that ranges more broadly into disclosure of information that is gained in a more pastoral context. It is not yet clear which direction this discussion will go, but it is likely to run for a considerable time. In light of the direction of travel over a number of years, there is likely to be considerable pressure at this point. That said, the current expectation that there will be robust systems in place to identify and respond to individuals or practice that places children at risk will continue and is likely to increase still further over the coming years.

Word is that Al Sharpton is holding a hunger strike to protest the fact that the Senate won't move on the Lorretta Lynch AG nomination. You can guess why Sharpton think things are held up. One of the real reasons why Ms. Lynch is under such scrutiny is her support of civil forfeiture. The seizing of property by the police even if someone has not been convicted of a crime. Across the country police departments have used the tool to feather their nests. The practice is often called "policing for profit." People lose homes and livelihoods even if they have done nothing wrong.
One such example comes from Frederick County Maryland. A small farmer who ran a cash market sometimes would deposit just less than $10,000 after a sale day in the bank in an effort to avoid the paperwork associated with depositing more that $10,000. This practice is called "structuring" and according to police it is a no no. So the police decided to seize the $63,000 in the account used for the farmer's market. They did this even though the police said they knew their victim was innocent of wrongdoing.
(From The Washington Post)
"We wanted to put the money somewhere my employees wouldn't see it and think we had a lot of money to spend," Sowers said. So his wife started putting the farmers market cash in a new account. A teller told her, Sowers said, that depositing more than $10,000 at once would require the filling out of a form. So the Sowerses kept their deposits below that amount, even when a weekend could yield $12,000 to $14,000 in cash.
On Feb. 29, 2012, two special agents showed up at the farm and asked Sowers about the deposits. He told them, according to court filings, that he was trying not to "throw up red flags." In other words, he admitted that he had intentionally avoided triggering the disclosure requirement.
"That's about when they quit asking me questions," Sowers said. The $63,000 in his account had already been seized.

The fascinating facts below came from the book, My Weird School Fast Facts-Space, Humans, and Farts by Dan Gutman. This book contains a lot of fun, humorous, and engaging information for kids. Your child will discover a love of science from reading this book!
Eating Tomatoes used to kill certain people
During the late 1700's, many people died after eating tomatoes in parts of Europe. It was called the "poison apple." Actually, the tomatoes did not kill people. Rich people ate off pewter plates, which were made from lead. Tomatoes are acidic and the lead leaked off the plates into the tomatoes. This caused people to get lead poisoning.
The planet, Mars, has the largest volcano
Olympus Mons on Mars is the biggest volcano in our solar system. It is three times as tall as Mount Everest. Mount Everest is the Earth's highest mountain above sea level.
Drinking Water is limited
Earth is covered with 70 percent water. Almost all of Earth's water is salty in the oceans. We can't drink it. Only about 3 percent of the water is drinkable fresh water. Most of this drinkable water is frozen in the Arctic and in Antarctica. Therefore, only about 1 percent of the world's water is available to drink. Don't waste water because we are not getting anymore!
Silk comes from Worms
Silk comes from worms. A silkworm eats mulberry leaves and lettuce for weeks. Its salivary glands produces "fibrion" which is gooey. Then it spends a cocoon and spends the next 48 hours turning around and around to create silk.
Thunder and Lightning Happen at the Same Time
During a thunderstorm, you will see lightning and then hear thunder seconds later. Thunder and Lighting happen simultaneously. Light travels a million times faster than sound. Lightning reaches your eyes faster.
Kids have more Bones than Adults
Adults have 206 bones and kids have 300. As kids get older, some of their bones fuse together.
Your lungs are different sizes
You have two lungs but they are not the same size. The left lung is divided into two lobes while the right is divided into three. The left lung is a bit smaller to allow room for your heart.
The Fastest Muscles in your Body
The fastest muscles in your body are in your eyes. They make it possible for you to blink as fast as five times a second. You can blink about fifteen thousand times a day. Blinking cleans your eyes of dust particles and lubricates your eyeballs. Women blink twice as much as men.
No kneecaps for babies
Babies are born without solid kneecaps. Babies' kneecaps are made out of cartilage and don't turn into solid bone until the baby is about three years old.
Why do Geese fly in a V?
Flying in a V conserves energy. There is less wind resistance when each bird flies a bit above the bird in front of them. They take turns flying in front so no one gets tired. Flying in a V makes it easier for the birds to communicate with every bird in the group. Jet fighter pilots do the same thing.
Crickets Can Tell the Temperature
Male crickets make a chirping noise by running their wings together. When it is hot outside, they rub their wings faster. You can tell the temperature by counting how fast a cricket chirps. If you count the number of chirps you hear in fifteen seconds and then add thirty-seven to it, the total will be very close to the outside temperature.
Albert Einstein's Brain was Stolen
Albert Einstein is a German-born physicist who was famous for this theory relativity. He is known as a genius. After he died, his brain was stolen!!! The doctor who examined him took his brain and kept it for 40 years.

The number of rooms we have to finish wood flooring on continue to dwindle! (Only two!) The guest room may have been one of the most fun to complete yet because with upheaving everything, a rearrange and purge was prompted that has made the room just a bit nicer.
After the landing dragged on and on, the guest room by comparison was easy to bang out in 5 work days – four weeknights and one full Saturday. (To give you a frame of reference, these two photos are facing opposite directions in the room.) Before and afters, I am obsessed with them.
The guest room has been the catch all for little decor accessories that I liked but did not have a planned place for. (That closet was stuffed with them.) After living in our house for a year, I have a stronger vision for most spaces and can better edit the things we have. Some pieces I like, but they just are not right for our house and I will never love using them, so I finally had the resolve to get rid of them.
Second, David suggested we put the bed on a different wall which was a significant improvement. My reason for placing it on the window wall had been so there would be space for a dresser. But, we do not have a dresser in here now, so there is no use keeping it that way. Plus, if or when we get a dresser I am open to just popping it in the closet; there is definitely room.
The red and black rug is back, I know. It is ironic that it would appear in a post where I talk about finally getting rid of things I do not like! It has forced me to honestly face the question that has haunted mankind of centuries, is a bad rug better than no rug? I guess my temporary answer is yes since I wanted to put this in here just for it to feel a little softer for some guests coming next week.
For finishing up wood floors, I really have my projections down which makes it easier to visualize how the rest of the install will wrap up. After so many rows, you get a pretty good handle on how many boxes of floors each room will need and how long the demo and install process really (realistically!) takes.
With that knowledge, I calculated we will need 25 boxes for the last two rooms (the kids' bedrooms). We have 27 boxes left. Not too much room for error! It would be ideal to have some extras at the end too for future damages and repairs too.

Long a buzzed-about name in the meetings world, Dolce Hotels and Resorts has been quietly making its mark in the leisure market with a fast-growing roster of hotels and resorts and an affinity for well fleshed-out guest experiences.
"Dolce is probably lesser known in the U.S. but more well known in Europe," says Barry Goldstein, Dolce's newly appointed chief revenue officer. "We see ourselves, in terms of our brand, as a collection of properties that falls into two segments of the hotel business: conference centers and hotels and resorts. Quite frankly, we're a place to go for inspiration…whether it's an experience with groups or with leisure travel."
According to Goldstein, the brand's vision is composed of three values represented as intertwining rings in the "o" of Dolce's logo. "We pride ourselves around three different elements of our brand," he says. One ring is nourishment, centered around refueling of mind and body through spas, amenities and great cuisine. This last aspect is a particular forte of Dolce's, as the brand takes pride in its gourmet and healthy culinary offerings and has, in fact, won quite a few awards for their efforts, including a Michelin star for the Carmontelle Restaurant at Dolce Chantilly in France.
The second ring, or element, is connectivity, which focuses on more than just technology and functional design. "Whether you are at a meeting or social event, we create a stimulating environment, putting people together for thoughtful exchanges or welcome experiences," says Goldstein.
The third ring is community—having a positive impact on each hotel's "guest community" as well as that which surrounds the property, plus being involved in green initiatives. "This is really about getting people together and providing a superior service around and within the community," he says. He adds that, "What makes us different with those three elements is that this allows us to reward our customers both in business or pleasure or leisure—to really have a full experience, not just an individual one."
Because their growth in the hotels and resorts business is recent, their relationship with agents is fairly new. Future plans include the launch of an agents-only website where you can learn about the properties and what they offer as a brand, as well as a possible loyalty program. Clients will benefit from several signature elements or experiences, as well as a refreshing of its spa component. Given that inspiration is at the forefront of Dolce's development and commitment to guests, the brand is constantly working on nourishing experiences so that guests can express and refuel themselves in an innovative and comfortable setting.
One of the better known properties in its North American family is the Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose, CA, a century-old resort and spa considered one of the South Bay's most unique historical structures. Formerly a private estate, it's a renovated Spanish colonial revival-style hotel listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with beautiful mountain views and the only Being Spa in North America (Being Spas are found throughout Taiwan). Golfers may enjoy a game at nearby Los Lagos, while foodies can take advantage of an award-winning Sunday brunch. The property's beautiful setting and romantic design has made it a popular location for weddings.
Dolce Chantilly, another "star" in the Dolce roster, is just 40 minutes outside of Paris. The hotel underwent a refurbishment in 2008 and is surrounded by the lovely Chantilly Forest, with close proximity to the Chantilly Castle and its fine art collection as well as to the town of Senlis. The guestrooms are bright and airy, with stenciled equestrian motifs and rain showers. There are jogging trails and a hammam, as well as an 18-hole course in an inland links design for year-round play.
Next month sees the grand opening of the Dolce Munich Unterschleissheim, just 20 minutes away from Munich Center and featuring an Executive Sky Lounge, Dolce Vital Spa with indoor pool, and state-of-the-art technology for special events.
The company was also recently appointed to manage The Thayer Hotel, a historic property on the grounds of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point—one of several Dolce properties affiliated with educational institutions. Dolce has properties in 12 U.S. states as well as in Ontario, Belgium, Germany, Spain and France.

How it all came down to this, only the Devil knows. Retail Rodeo is at the corner on my left. The motel is down the road to my right. I close my eyes and try to peer into the future. On my left, I saw days upon days of lipstick and ticking clocks, dirty looks and quiet whisperings. And burning secrets that just won't ever die away. And on my right, what could I picture?

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Kinkead's Restaurant Review: Chef Robert Kinkead's eclectic seafood menu centers on pristinely fresh fish and shellfish prepared in a variety of ways, from simply grilled to elaborately prepared Thai or Scandinavian stews. Kinkead's spectacular shellfish platter may seem like an expensive treat with its big price tag, but it serves six easily. Standards include crusty fried clams, grilled squid with creamy polenta, crab cakes and pepita-crusted salmon with a corn-chile ragoût. The menu changes daily to feature the very best of the catch-of-the-day. In the mood for casual? Sit at the downstairs bar or at the raw bar. The upstairs dining room, with its open kitchen, has the charm of yesterday's brasseries.

Villa Ekros in Lidingö Sweden
Winner of the prize, Rödfärgspriset 2012
Client: Private
Total Floor Area: 200 m²
Completed: 2010
Photo: Johan Fowelin
In an old residential area with traditional red wooden houses and green cultivated gardens, Villa Ekros aims to establish a contemporary language for the traditional Swedish red house within the constraints imposed by the area's rigid building regulations. The pitched roof together with the plan's twisted shape - designed to minimize views between neighbors and preserve the trees on site - provides for an interior of intriguing angles and unexpected views.
The staircase, situated in the middle of the house, works as a natural divider of space. The kitchen, living room and a playroom for children is placed on the entrance floor, while the second floor houses a double-height staircase gallery leading to bedrooms, bathroom and a walk-in closet.

Top 10 New Order Songs 10-6
10. Crystal – Get Ready (2001)
Ok, throwing them a bone. While their albums from the 2000s weren't as remarkable as earlier work, this song captured that bombastic pop sound of the early aughts before everything (including music) went to shit.
9. Regret – Republic (1993)
A little cleaner in sound as the band transitioned into the '90s, but still reminiscent of their characteristic hooks and style.
8. Dreams Never End –Movement(1981)
Here's one for the Joy Division fans. With Curtis-like vocals by Peter Hook instead of Bernard Sumner, this track stands out as something a little different.
7. Shellshock – standalone single (1986)
This song suffers from being about a minute too long, but is still a worthy offering. The vocals and almost abrasive synth-y orchestra bits make it a little less sentimental and more substantial. Hey, it was good enough for the film Pretty in Pink.
6. The Perfect Kiss – Low-Life (1985)
Heavy on the synth, as is the tendency of the '80s. This song throws in everything in sight (even frogs croaking, and do I hear cowbells?) and sees what sticks. Somehow, it works.

Blue Monday
The Village

Could the Secret to Pain Management Lie in Shaking Things Up?
What Promise Does Whole-body Vibration Hold for Pain Sufferers?
Wondering how to fight back against ongoing pain? While there are many options suited to different patients, one is shaking things up both literally and figuratively. Whole-body vibration is nothing new to those who view it as a type of comprehensive exercise, but for some pain sufferers, it might just hold the key to lasting relief. Here's how.
Whole-body Vibration Explained
Whole-body vibration is a form of exercise involving a machine that shakes people with a vibrating platform. As the device gyrates and jostles, the user's muscles react by contracting and relaxing, and this can produce a sensation of ongoing exertion.
Proponents of this type of activity have long touted its benefits. For example, it may increase muscle strength by placing the body under continuous pressure to work itself. Other potential...more
Making the Most of Your Time: Dealing With Pain in Minutes
3 Exercises You Can Do in 3 Minutes
According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, one in five American adults lose sleep every week due to pain or physical discomfort. The less sleep you get, the less time your body has to heal itself, which is why sticking with a pain management plan is so important.
That said, not everyone has time to exercise throughout the day. If you're suffering from pain while at work or school, some simple stretches can help provide temporary relief. Here are some quick stretching exercises that you can perform when you're pressed for time:
Ear to Shoulder Stretch
- 1. Sit on the ground with your legs crossed. Look forward and drop your arms to your side.
- 2. Take a deep breath. As you exhale, tilt your head to the side so that your right ear is approaching your right shoulder.
- 3. Inhale as you bring your head back upright.

PT vs. OT: The Definitive Answer
Johnny Alfredo
How do physical therapy and occupational therapy enhance each other -- and how do they differ?
For many of us, 'physical therapy' and 'occupational therapy' are interchangeable terms. Actually, while the two types of therapies occasionally overlap, the approach to each is different. At Advanced Pain Care, with clinics in Austin and Amarillo, TX, we believe that physical and occupational therapies can complement each other to assist in the healing process.
What does a physical therapist do?
Physical therapy helps everyone from victims of car accidents to cancer patients. This type of therapy treats the body to facilitate proper alignment, reduce or eliminate pain, and help restore mobility. Physical therapy can also be used as an alternative to surgeries and medications. Physical therapy, or PT, can help the injured get back to work, experience a wider range of motion, and participate once again in activities ranging from...more
Could Fighting Inflammation Be Your Best Weapon Against Pain?
Johnny Alfredo
Inflammation is the enemy of good health. But its causes are lurking in seemingly innocent foods and the everyday choices we make. While this may sound alarming, there is good news. Reducing inflammation is under your control. Making the right lifestyle choices significantly impacts your short- and long-term health in a positive way. At Advanced Pain Care, with clinics in Austin and Amarillo, TX, we help patients manage and prevent pain from inflammation and other causes.
How Does Inflammation Harm Your Health?
The body uses inflammation to fight what it perceives as threats. While this is generally a healthy response, it can cause disease when left unchecked. Under normal circumstances, inflammation appears in the form of temporary redness and swelling at the site of an injury. But chronic inflammation, caused by the wrong dietary choices, a sedentary lifestyle and poorly managed stress, is a different story. Ongoing inflammation puts you at risk for cancer, heart disease, respiratory problems and accelerated aging. The following...more
Advanced Pain Care Salutes our Veterans
New Research Shows Non-Drug Pain Therapies Attract More Female Than Male Veterans
At the Veterans Health Administration (VA), medical providers increasingly offer ex-soldiers, sailors and other servicemen and women chronic pain relief options that don't come in a pill or via injection.
Called "complementary and integrative health (CIH) therapies," popular types include acupuncture, meditation and yoga. Studies show that, among civilians, CIH therapies are increasingly popular because they are proving successful.
Disturbingly but perhaps unsurprisingly, a new study of CIH therapy usage by veterans age 18 to 54 with chronic musculoskeletal pain finds a gender gap. Substantially more women (36 percent) than men (26 percent) use CIH therapies to manage pain. Rates vary according to age and race/ethnicity as well: the percentages for women run from 25 to 42 percent; men's 15 to 29 percent.
The study's authors suggest VA clinicians should tailor "CIH therapy...more
Mark Pain Awareness Month – Learn How to Erase Pain Without Opioids
September is Pain Awareness Month, here are some scary numbers:
25 million: people in the U.S. who experience daily pain.
8 million: those who have pain so severe, it interferes with their ability to function daily.
43,000+: the number who died in 2017 of opioid overdoses, according to preliminary Centers for Disease Control data.
For years, opioids were the prescribed treatment of choice for constant, severe pain. Now, a spiraling epidemic of abuse has resulted, ravaging many families and communities.
It is a struggle for many of us individually and all of us as a nation: how should we best address these parallel crises of managing dreadful pain that makes living so difficult and guarding against opioid abuse that routinely leads to death?
Dr. Mark Malone, Medical Director and Founder of Advanced Pain Care, shed some light on this opioid epidemic and discussed alternative, nondrug therapies used to treat chronic pain with...more
Osteoporosis and Kyphoplasty Treatment Options for Vertebral Fractures
Dr. Mark Malone
This is National Osteoporosis Month, designated to raise awareness about bone health and encourage individuals to identify risks and make any necessary lifestyle changes. The National Osteoporosis Foundation offers wise guidance on adopting a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables and foods with calcium and vitamin D. Weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise also can help prevent fractures and maintain peak bone mass.
A healthy spine is so important because it fosters pain-free movement and supports your head, shoulders and pelvis. It protects your central nervous system within the spinal cord – in effect, playing a pivotal role in the healthy function of every organ, tissue and cell in the body. Any serious degradation of just a single vertebrae can cause continuous, significant pain impacting your quality of life.
A "compression fracture" occurs when vertebrae start to compress or collapse causing...more
In Pain for Months? Consider Functional Restoration
Long after three months, when "normal healing" can be expected, more than 25 million U.S. adults experience pain on a daily basis, a National Health Interview Survey found. This becomes more common as we age and more often experience ailments such as lower back pain or osteoarthritis.
It can prevent us from living any kind of normal life.
Not all sufferers have a physician-diagnosed health issue. Other times, pain can result from having two or more diagnoses of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome or something else.
Take lower back pain. One study published in the European Spine Journal (and subsequently fully posted online by the U.S. National Institutes of Health) found that, in western industrialized nations, it can afflict 49 to 70 percent of people at one time or another and annually occur in 15 to 45 percent of a...more
New Opioid Overdose Antidote Drug Recommendations
The U.S. surgeon general has released an advisory that urges more people to carry naloxone, an opioid overdose-reversing medication.
Naloxone, also called Narcan and Evzio, is an FDA-approved medication that can be given as a nasal mist or injection. It is not a long-term treatment, but it can temporarily stop the effects of an overdose until emergency responders arrive. Advanced Pain Care offers this potentially life-saving medication in their pharmacy.
Most first responders like EMTs and police carry naloxone, but now the surgeon general is recommending that more individuals, including family, friends and those who are personally at risk for an opioid overdose, have the medication handy.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, about 2.1 million people in our country struggle with an opioid addiction. Rates of opioid overdose deaths have spiked considerably since 2010 when there were 21,000. As...more
Understanding Pain: What is Your Body Trying to Tell You?
Your pain's traits may reveal important clues
A survey found that over 50 percent of American adults suffered from pain at some time during a three-month phase. Around one-ninth of the population reportedly endures chronic discomfort on a daily basis, according to The Washington Post. This medical predicament interferes with crucial everyday tasks and makes it difficult to enjoy life.
At the same time, painful sensations serve a vital purpose. They can warn you to stop engaging in an activity that harms your body. Physical discomfort may also alert you to a life-threatening disease and provide an incentive to seek treatment. You can learn more by carefully identifying the specific type of ache.
If you suffer from sudden discomfort that lasts no longer than six months, you might have acute pain. You may feel particularly anxious when it occurs. This sharp pain often...more
Why Psychological Support Is so Important When Dealing With Chronic Pain
Psychology Can Impact Pain More Than You Think
If you have chronic pain, it affects your thoughts, feelings and behaviors as well as your body. A holistic approach to pain management can be more effective than treating physical symptoms alone.
The Relationship Between Physical Pain, Emotional Pain and Stress
Chronic pain can limit your ability to function. Inability to function might make you feel angry, anxious, depressed, hopeless, frustrated and stressed. The more stressed you feel, the harder it is to deal with the pain and the more intense these negative emotions become. If the pain has no discernible cause, you might wonder if you're imagining it and question your own perceptions. You might feel guilty because you can no longer work, participate in activities you used to enjoy or take care of your family. You might blame yourself if you fail to respond to pain relief treatments, or you might believe your health care providers are undermining your condition.

What Causes Migraine Headaches?
How Can I Make Them Go Away?
Migraine is a specific type of headache suffered by about 12 percent of the population. Typically, these headaches are severe, painful, and recurring. They can also be debilitating and last for hours or days. Often, they occur on only one side of the head. They may be triggered by certain stimuli or preceded by one or more warning signs called auras. People between the ages of 15 and 55 are most vulnerable. No one really knows what causes migraines, but researchers suspect that they are symptoms of abnormal brain activity that affects cell communication in the central nervous system and chemicals levels in the brain.
Common Migraine Triggers:
- Stress and overexertion
- Sleep deprivation, jet lag and insufficient restorative sleep
- Shoulder and neck tension
- Hunger and dehydration
- Low blood sugar
- Premenstrual syndrome and other hormonal...
Chronic Pain Relief Without Medication
These Innovative Treatments Can Relieve Pain for Months or Even Years
If you suffer from chronic back or neck pain, you might be looking for pain relief that doesn't involve medication. Narcotic medications can be very effective for treating short-term or intermittent pain, but because these drugs are addictive and can lose effectiveness over time, they're not necessarily the best long-term solution for chronic pain.
Fortunately, there are a number of pain-relief treatments that can be effective and long-lasting that don't involve medication. The type of treatment your doctor prescribes will depend on the condition that's causing your pain and the type of pain you're experiencing. Here are some of the most innovative pain-relief treatments along with the conditions they're used to treat:
Epidural Steroid Injections
These injections contain anti-inflammatory agents (steroids or cortisone) and a local anesthetic and are used to treat sciatica and back pain. Steroids and the anesthetic are injected directly into the epidural...more
Understanding Spinal Cord Stimulation
Take remote control of your chronic pain.
Spinal cord stimulation therapy provides an advanced alternative to people who are suffering. If you have been dealing with chronic pain, you know how its tentacles work their way into virtually every aspect of your daily life, holding you back from enjoying even the simplest tasks that you used to take for granted. While spinal cord stimulation is not for everybody, it may help you free yourself from the insidious octopus of debilitating pain.
What is Spinal Cord Stimulation?
This therapeutic approach to pain, also known as neurostimulation, relies on electronic pulses to intercept the pain messages your spinal column transmits to your brain. Although the concept is not new – the FDA approved many neurostimulation devices in the 1980s -- the technology has progressed rapidly, making spinal cord stimulation therapy a relatively easy and often effective alternative to surgery. Also, if you have already been through back surgery, but the pain...more
The Benefits of Physical Therapy
Advanced Pain Care
How Maintaining Your Mobility Might Improve Your Quality of Life
Ever sustained an injury? You've probably been told to "walk it off" at some point. Although those who use this expression don't always treat you with the compassion that you deserve, they may not have been too far off the mark when it comes to chronic discomfort. Here's how physical therapy has the potential to help you manage your lasting pain.
Pain and Movement
Staying mobile has many benefits that could contribute to its reported pain reduction effects. In 2015, the American Pain Society noted that although individuals who experienced chronic pain exhibited distinct structural brain matter changes, those who practiced yoga showed the opposite effects. Instead of losing gray matter, they gain it in regions associated with managing pain.
According to the Journal of Pain and Relief other motion-based practices, like Tai Chi and Qigong, may...more
The Side Effects of Long-Term Pain
Advanced Pain Care
The Hidden Dangers of Ongoing Discomfort
When your aches and pains last for more than 12 weeks, they meet the definition of chronic pain. Although minor inflammation and passing tenderness are normal side effects of injury or harm, long-lasting discomfort may indicate more serious problems. Persistent irritation can also have life-changing ramifications. Here are some issues to look out for.
The Lasting Physical Effects of Long-term Pain
Chronic pain does more than just cause irritation. In some cases, it may be associated with stiffness or inflexibility that limit your ability to move and carry out normal activities, like performing your job duties or simply going through your daily routine as usual. According to the National Institutes of Health, you may also experience reduced strength and stamina.
Long-term pain is associated with other physical problems. The nervous system may respond to persistent irritation by undergoing maladaptive structural reorganizations that result in a...more
Pain and Sleep Quality: How Each One Affects the Other

Pain and Sleep Quality: How Each One Affects the Other
Your constant pain may be ruthless during the day, but when it's time to go to sleep, it becomes an even greater enemy. Both acute and chronic pain can cause insomnia and poor sleep quality. As if that's not frustrating enough, the opposite also applies; when you don't get enough sleep or your sleep quality isn't up to par, it can make your pain even worse by lowering your pain threshold.
Researchers believe that poor sleep may disrupt your nervous system's pain signaling ability and heighten your sensitivity to painful stimuli. When your pain tolerance decreases, it's even harder to sleep. It's a dreaded vicious cycle for many people who suffer from chronic pain. At some point, it may become difficult to determine whether the poor sleep is caused by pain or the pain is caused by poor sleep.
What We Know About Sleep and Pain
It's obvious that pain affects sleep quality. About 15 percent of the U.S. population and 50 percent of the elderly population experience...more
Waiting for Pain to Go Away: How Long is Too Long?
Advanced Pain Care
Acute pain associated with injury or surgery is self-limiting, normal and generally predictable, but what if it doesn't go away? When pain continues after healing, it can have devastating effects on your mobility, your psychological health and your quality of life. Many people suffer from chronic pain for months or even years before getting the help they need. In many cases, this is because they weren't sure how long they should wait for acute pain to stop.
The Difference between Acute and Chronic Pain
Acute pain is the body's way of signaling you that there's an injury or disease affecting your tissues. When the tissue regrows or mends and inflammation subsides, the pain should stop. This type of pain serves a purpose; it warns you to protect and stop using the injured part. If pain persists after healing, it no longer serves any protective function. When there's no obvious explanation for the pain and it doesn't go away on its own, it's considered chronic pain. It may be temporary, or it may last indefinitely.
Chronic pain can also be caused...more
Managing Chemotherapy-Related Pain
Advanced Pain Care
Modern medicine offers powerful options for overcoming cancer, which is great news for individuals who suffer from curable varieties of this terrible disease. Unfortunately, not every treatment is without side effects. Chemotherapy, which is often used to kill cancer and save lives, can cause suffering of its own. Here's what you need to know about chemotherapy-related pain and what you can do about it.
What Causes Chemotherapy-Related Pain?
Nausea and vomiting are well-known side effects of chemotherapy, but they aren't the only issues that this type of treatment can cause. Some individuals undergoing chemo also suffer from mouth sores, muscle pain and headaches. Others suffer from burning, tingling, numbness or shooting pain that seems to come out of nowhere. These latter issues are symptoms of something called chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), which can affect cancer patients of all ages and backgrounds.
CIPN happens when the medications used in chemotherapy...more
Chronic Pain and Memory – The Missing Link
Advanced Pain Care
If you suffer from chronic pain, have you suspected the pain may be affecting your memory? Many chronic pain sufferers complain that they experience brain fog, anxiety, depression or other mental or emotional disorders. Recent studies support the theory that there may be a link between chronic pain and short-term memory issues.
Studies have shown that pain can disrupt several cognitive processes, leading to problems in attention, spatial memory, recognition memory and decision making. One study of chronic pain sufferers in Canada found that patients performed worse on memory tests when they didn't have a pain-relieving procedure. The researchers noted that the results didn't seem to be linked to other factors such as age, sleep or stress.
An animal study by Portuguese researchers may provide some insight about the relationship...more
The Many Faces of Nerve Pain
Advanced Pain Care
Condition and pain care information for paresthesia sufferers
Paresthesia describes unusual nerve sensations such as tingling, itching, burning, numbness or crawling. If you've ever slept on your arm and subsequently woke up to a "pins and needles" feeling, you've experienced paresthesia. However, some of these sensations can indicate a much more complex underlying condition.
Causes of Paresthesia
Anything that places prolonged pressure on a nerve can result in symptoms of paresthesia. This can be something as simple as sitting with your legs crossed for too long or as serious as a tumor. Paresthesia may also be caused by conditions that lead to nerve damage or entrapment. Some common culprits include:
• Back and neck injuries
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Degenerative disk damage
• Diabetes
• Fibromyalgia
• Fractures
• Migraines
• Multiple sclerosis
• Osteoporosis
• Restless leg syndrome
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Vitamin B12 deficiency

Acute vs. Chronic: Understand Your Pain
Wendy Garner
Different Types of Therapy for Different Types of Pain
If you're in pain, you may have heard your doctor refer to it as acute pain or chronic pain. Both types are unpleasant, but they are distinct clinical symptoms which are treated in different ways.
What Is Acute Pain?
Acute pain is related to a specific illness, injury or event. This pain is caused by a normal reaction of the nervous system; it helps alert your brain that something is wrong. Acute pain resolves as the illness goes away or the injury heals. It can usually be treated successfully with medications during the healing process.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is a long-term condition in and of itself. When it's associated with an injury, it outlasts the normal healing time. It may also occur if you develop a chronic disease such as degenerative arthritis or spinal stenosis that persists for an extended period. Some cases of chronic pain are due to a malfunction of the nervous system, and others may be related to psychological factors....more

Lingering Post-Surgical Pain: Is It All in Your Head?
Wendy Garner
Pain management is not always as straightforward as treating the surgical area
Surgery is performed to restore normal bodily function, remove diseased tissues or alleviate painful conditions. After surgery, it's normal to experience post-surgical pain; in fact, it's expected in almost all cases. When the incision and the damaged internal tissues have healed, the pain should go away. Unfortunately, it's not always so simple. It's estimated that between 10 and 50% of people who have surgery experience lingering or chronic pain long after their surgery sites are completely healed. Chronic pain is especially common in back surgery and other surgeries that involve extensive manipulation of nerve tissues.

A Life of Pain
Wendy Garner
The challenges of pain, and the relief you can receive
If you're struggling with chronic pain, it may help to know that you're far from being alone. Experts estimate that some 100 million Americans are living with chronic pain right now, a number that dwarfs rates of other better-known conditions, including diabetes and heart disease. Yet treatment for chronic pain isn't given the same level of attention. Changing that by raising awareness and bringing compassion back to the pain management field is a shared goal across our community.
About Pain Management
The pain management industry has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a research field in the 19th century. Back then, physicians struggled to understand pain as a condition, and the prevalence of spirituality as a healing tool made it tough to get support for new medical studies. The first major step forward happened when Johannes Muller, a German physiologist, submitted groundbreaking work on pain transmission.
In the many decades that followed, we've learned a lot...more
The New You: Break the Pain Cycle, and Keep Your New Year's Resolutions
Wendy Garner
January has come and gone. Has your new year's resolution turned to dust? Each New Year's Day, people across America promise to make changes that improve their lives for the better. Popular New Year's resolutions include weight loss, smoking cessation, managing finances and spending more time with family. Unfortunately, some resolutions are not successful. It's not because they were made impulsively, it's just that keeping them turned out to be much harder than expected. This is especially true for people who must suffer with daily pain. When you have to deal with the physical and emotional stress of chronic pain on a daily basis, staying motivated can be quite a challenge. Instead of gaining your much-desired new outlook on life, you may find that you fall back into old habits quickly.
Pain Management Can Help You Keep Your New Year's Resolutions
Chronic pain doesn't have to be a life sentence. If you make conquering it one of your top New Year's resolutions for 2015, you'll probably find it easier to keep your others. Many pain management therapies...more

It's Not Just in Your Head
Wendy Garner
Chronic pain generally refers to persistent, non-acute, sometimes disabling pain in the spine, extremities, or other areas of the body. This pain can be associated with a known cause such as an injury, or it can be a symptom of other chronic painful conditions like as fibromyalgia or migraine headaches. Naturally, a person experiencing persistent pain may begin to struggle with depression and various other mental health conditions. It is estimated that about 35% of the American population has some degree of chronic pain, and up to 50 million Americans have some form of disability due to chronic pain.
Many individuals suffering from chronic pain may also have mental health disorders like depression or anxiety that can significantly impact the underlying chronic pain condition. The convergence of depression and pain is reflected in the pathways of the central nervous system. These pathways (which control the transmission of pain signals to the brain), use some of the same neurotransmitters involved in the regulation of mood and emotion such as serotonin and norepinephrine....more
The Surprising Truth About Testosterone
Mark Malone
Testosterone is the hormone in a man that helps him build muscle, deepens his voice, helps him mature in puberty, and in short makes a man a man. Testosterone is produced by the testes in men. It is produced in smaller quantities in women by the ovaries.
Hormone levels have significant effects on the human mind and body. Men are often so busy with their day-to-day functions and responsibilities that they may not recognize when a testosterone deficit is causing unfavorable changes in their bodies, and therefore in their lives. Signs and symptoms that testosterone levels are low could be: a decreased sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, fatigue and loss of energy, depressed mood, diminished mental aggressiveness, loss of body hair, decrease in strength and osteoporosis, a weakening of the bones. Testosterone is also important for cognition and memory and can play a role when low in insulin production.
After the age of 30, most men begin to experience a gradual decline in testosterone. As a greater percent of our population ages, there are much larger levels of low...more
After Knee Surgery Pain Management Techniques
Mark Malone
Before Knee Surgery – Available Classes
Some hospitals and special therapy centers offer education classes about pre-operative knee and other joint surgery. The information received will give patients a grasp as to what to expect after knee surgery. The surgery and rehabilitation will go much better if the patient knows what to expect. Topics that are covered at these classes are as follows:
- Preparing for surgery – home and body
- What to expect – hospital treatment and equipment
- Method of pain control
- Tips for performing daily living activities after surgery
- Options for rehabilitation
- Guidelines for physical activity
The chosen hospital will have a multidisciplinary joint surgery team, which includes nurses, physical therapists and occupational therapists, who will teach the course. Questions can be asked so that the patients will feel knowledgeable about every element of the joint replacement procedure. An MRI or CT scan is completed before surgery to establish an accurate three-dimension...more

This will concern many who believe that they need to take the fat-burning ingredients in Shred JYM before they work out to maximize fat burning. In fact, many have asked if they should replace Pre JYM with Shred JYM before they train. My answer is no! There is really no reason to take the ingredients in Shred JYM before you train. You are far better off and will get far better fat loss benefits, from taking Pre JYM before you train than Shred JYM. Let me explain.
Yes, research does show that taking several of the ingredients in Shred JYM will maximize the number of calories and fat you burn during your workout. However, what we are now realizing through research done in the lab and the gym is that it actually does not matter how many calories and fat grams you burn during your workouts. The real fat-burning benefits from training come the rest of the day when the workout is over. That is if you are training properly.buy now!

London's Formicarius joins Devilment for a fiendishly festive December show at the Camden Underworld
The fiends of Formicarius have been invited to join Dani Filth's Devilment for an evening of quintessentially English black metal at the Camden Underworld, on Sunday December 10th.
Formicarius will offer up a selection of dark delights from their Black Mass Ritual debut, before Nuclear Blast recording artists Devilment invite the assembled hordes to revel in the wickedness of The Mephisto Waltzes.
Formicarius launched their Black Mass Ritual album at the Underworld with a triumphant show alongside Tengger Cavalry and cannot wait to return to what is fast becoming a favourite venue for the performance of their black incantations.
There can surely be no finer diabolical pairing than the Cradle Of Filth frontman's gothic horror show of Devilment and the wild, symphonic darkness of Formicarius. A savagely splendid way to kick off the festive season we're sure you'll agree...
'Twas the Friday before Christmas, when all over the 'farm,
instead of turning in early, we raised the alarm,
A concert would be held, in ol' Camden Town,
Dress in denim 'n' leather, no need for a gown,
But who was the host of this festive soirée?
Orange Goblin of course, for their annual partayyyy…!
It doesn't matter if you've been naughty or nice this year, Orange Goblin invite you to their annual evening of stoner metal merriment at the Electric Ballroom in Camden Town, North London on Friday, December 22nd.
As is tradition, they'll be bringing along some Evil Elves to help spread the festive cheer, and 2017's Special Guests are none other than Karma To Burn, Black Moth & Riddles.
"It's that time of year again, when we get to unleash a little bit of Heavy Metal festive cheer," proclaims Orange Goblin front-man Ben Ward. "We are very excited to announce this year's show, back at the trusted Electric Ballroom in Camden on Friday, December 22nd, and we have an amazing array of support bands to make this a very special Christmas show.
First up, there's London's own retro firecrackers, Riddles, who are sure to get things moving with their groove-laden mix of Sabbath and Hawkwind. Next up, there's the awesome Black Moth, who are always devastating live and have just recorded what will surely be one of the albums of 2018. Then, as main support, we have a real treat for everyone with a very rare UK appearance from our old friends from West Virginia, the legendary Karma To Burn. Not forgetting ourselves, of course!
We've been very busy this year, playing festivals all over the world, and at the same time writing material for a new album, which will be recorded in January 2018. Who knows, we may even play a couple of brand new songs as an early Christmas present?? See you there, folks!"
Having survived the summer festivals, Orange Goblin round off the year with a handful of headline shows in Ireland, plus festival appearances in Greece, Switzerland, The Netherlands and the UK. November will see them return to the US for an exclusive one-off performance opening the main-stage at the biggest heavy metal festival in America: Ozzfest Meets Knotfest.
Tickets for the Orange Goblin Electric Ballroom event go on sale on Friday, September 29th at 10am.
Irish metal three-piece Dead Label have today, announced a special London UK showcase performance for fans and industry professionals in Camden's Black Heart on October 3rd. Tickets on sale now via Music Glue priced £5.00.
Following a busy Summer schedule with shows at Download UK, German dates with Nervosa as well as festival dates across mainland Europe, Dead Label are finally bringing their intense live show to London for a one-off exclusive showcase performance.
Having released their smash-hit video for 'Pure Chaos' earlier this year, the Celbridge-based metal band have been winning over legions of fans on both sides of the Atlantic, thanks to their infectious blend of formidable riffs and crushing grooves.
Check the out the video for "Pure Chaos here!
With a considerable amount of road experience under their collective belts, including 2014's Japanese tour, 2015's North American tour, 2016's European tour with Fear Factory, as well as Irish dates with Machine Head, Gojira, Raging Speedhorn and notable festivals such as Bloodstock Open Air, Download UK, Metal Days to name but a few, Dead Label continue their quest in becoming one of metals hardest working unsigned bands.
Hand-picked by Live Nation's Andy Copping for this year's Download UK Festival, as well as appearing in Metal Hammer's 'Hot New Bands' feature in their December 2016 issue, to which Dom Lawson described the band as 'A punishing groove metal monster with a thrash heart and a hardcore soul' Dead Label have proved themselves to be one of metal's most talked about unsigned bands and if you've seen them live, you will understand why that has come to be.
With Irish dates confirmed with SiKth this December and Hammerfest UK in March 2018, this will be the bands only London show for 2017 as they continue to write the follow-up to 'Throne of Bones'.

You can purchase tickets for Fear Factory's intimate Brighton show here:
Fear Factory @ Concorde 2, Brighton – August 12th
Fear Factory are still celebrating the release of critically acclaimed 9th studio album, 'Genexus', which was released in August 2015 via Nuclear Blast.
The record was produced by vocalist Burton C. Bell and guitarist Dino Cazares, (and co-produced by Rhys Fulber) with mixing handled by famed British producer and engineer, Andy Sneap (Arch Enemy, Testament, Exodus, Machine Head). It is the sound of Fear Factory in-extremis, the concrete-breaking staccato riffs that open the record with 'Autonomous Combat System' to the soaring melodies of 'Dielectric' to the album's elegiacal closer, 'Expiration Date.'
It is an unforgiving and unforgettable statement from a band that has long pushed the boundaries of extreme music.
By Ali Nichol-way
It seemed like the cosy venue that The Brickyard was famous for became a calling beacon for all metal fans throughout Cumbria. With what seemed like half of Carlisle queuing at the doors, this was a highly anticipated show that many still didn't believe was actually happening. When the show was announced on March 31st 2014, many thought it was an early April Fools. After all, Dragonforce is a huge international band who have played alongside the likes of Iron Maiden to sold out arenas; so it's with some disbelief they were playing this 500 capacity venue which is not in the most notable city in the UK. However this tour is in promotion of their new album "Maximum Overload". Playing in over 20 cities on this tour, their tagline of "this time it's personal" is very apt, with the intimate shows allowing them to connect with their fans on a personal level.
Neonfly opened the night with their classic Power Metal sound that is already fit to fill arenas. Their opening song, 'Ships Without Sails', has a pitch perfect delivery but was received with some lethargy from the audience, whilst 'Enemy' brought and created some headbanging, and fist pumping from the slowly warming-up crowd. This may have been due to Willy Nortons infectious energy as he bounced around the stage, shamelessly dancing before making lots of eye contact with the crowd, letting them know that this is their performance as much as Neonfly's.
They brought an onslaught of metal after playing three songs in a row without a break. 'Spitting Blood', 'Ornament' and 'Things That Go Bump' go down a storm as members jumped on to the barrier and into the crowd. The heavy machine gun-like double bass kicked off a frenzy, whilst the triple threat of the guitars lead for the perfect intro, simultaneously showing why they are much more than just your average support band. They ended their set with their biggest single 'Morning Star', which created a cacophony of hand clapping and fist pumping.
Before they had even left people started pushing forward and chants for Dragonforce began. As they had never played Carlisle before, this was a new experience that the dedicated fans were sure to make the most of. You could barely hear their atmospheric, electronic entrance music over the thunderous applause of the crowd. This was met with some disappointment as Marc Hudson's vocal were a fuzzy mess due to the outdated P.A. system. However this was soon made up for by the brutal guitar and keyboard solos which, after the success of Guitar Hero, is the main attraction.
Before the tour, Dragonforce had asked fans what songs they wanted to hear live, essentially allowing them to build the set list themselves. When Hudson said this, chants of 'Three Hammers' had begun before he'd got half way through the sentence. Sure enough 'Three Hammers' was next much to the fans glee as they clapped in time and sang along word for word. During Herman Li's mind blowing guitar solo a circle pit erupted as the slowly building tune reached its peak. This lead them headfirst into 'Black Winter' and 'New Song Season'. You could see that they were trying, and succeeding, to make it as personal as possible, however some grabby fans were pushing the limits as one tried to take Li's guitar from him while he was playing.
Their 90 minute set comprised of many guitar battles between Li and Totman, getting more and more wilder as the show progressed. Li's little kicks and tricks proved what a guitar playing god he was a he tackled complex melodies with smug ease. As they left the stage, "One more song" chants echoed around the room, goading them into coming back on stage for an encore, which was received with deafening applause.
After giving a brief introduction about how they wanted to play a cover, they went into the most brutal cover of 'Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash that has ever been conceived. This was added too by their amazing light display that looked like Kit from Knightrider on steroids. After telling fans there was a free meet and greet after the show they played what every fan in that room had been waiting for; 'Through The Fire And The Flames'. This was the perfect end to the night as the room erupted into musical chaos. This once again proves that Dragonforce is a band that everyone should witness live at least once in their lives.
