Choosing the Best Rabbit Insurance
It is estimated that while there are approximately 1.5 million pet rabbits in the UK only a tiny percentage are actually vaccinated against such diseases as myxomatosis walking shoes for heavy people and the like. Here you can know how do baby wipes expire. Most recognised insurance companies now offer insurance for rabbits to cover such things as vet costs, third party cover, lost/stolen dogs, quarantine and other similar costs. Here you can find to the best blenders for juicing

Prior to looking for an online rabbit ins quote you need to consider a number of elements of the cover available, including:
Rabbit Insurance policy optionsCheap Rabbit Insurance
The cheapest rabbit insurance policies usually give you the lowest protection for your rabbit with the likelihood of limits on both time and money payable if your rabbit requires immediate treatment or more long term assistance. With this type of policy, once your rabbit has exceeded the cost or time limit for the treatment, that particular condition will not be covered for the future.
This is the most basic of cover on offer and while useful in some situations, can be disastrous if your rabbit was to acquire a long term illness. Not only would the cover be limited but you would not be able to insure your rabbit elsewhere because of the historic illness.Medium Price Rabbit Insurance
As with the cheapest rabbit insurance above, there are specific limits as to the amount of cover on offer. While average payments will normally be around 2 or 3 times that available on the cheapest policies there is still the problem of not being able to insure your rabbit elsewhere if they were to suffer from a long term illness. While it may be a step up from the cheap rabbit insurance there are still drawbacks to this level of cover.Lifetime Rabbit Insurance
Lifetime or lifelong rabbit insurance is not only the best rabbit insurance available but the most expensive. While there will be a maximum payout per year, it is still possible to obtain financial assistance for long term conditions so long as you continue to renew your policy each year. As the title suggests, this cover is for the full life of your pet with no maximum age limit in place and offers the highest level of assistance available in the rabbit ins market.
Vet Costs
Each and every rabbit insurance quote which you receive will at the very minimum contain a reference to pet rabbit vet fee vaccinations, with even the cheapest rabbit insurance policy offering significant vet insurance cover. Treatments and drugs available have moved ahead over the last decade and it is the rising cost of these advances which has seen many look toward rabbit health insurance.
Rabbit Quarantine Costs
While you might think that the likelihood of requiring rabbit quarantine services would be fairly limited, there have been occasions in the past when there has been a need to separate animals for their own good whether when entering the country, or the dreaded myxomatosis which was appeared in the past. Again, it is worth checking the small print of your rabbit ins to see if it is mentioned.
Rabbit Treatment Costs
If your rabbit is involved is a serious accident or is possibly attacked, there is every chance that they may require treatment with the number of rabbit operations increasing as well as the need to remain under observation for some time. A simple rabbit medical insurance policy will assist with the substantial costs which may be incurred and while rabbit medical cover policies vary in detail, it is strongly advisable that you check you rabbit insurance quote prior to deciding which one is right for you.
Rabbit Accident Cover
While the rabbit insurance market is considered something of a specialist area, there are a number of similarities with the general insurance market. Some of the best rabbit insurance companies are actually offering to reimburse the cost of your rabbit should they succumb to a fatal accident.
Rabbit Emergency Related Costs
As competition in the rabbit pet cover market continues to grow, we are seeing the creation of a variety of clauses designed to attract new customers. While some of the cheap rabbit insurance polices may not contain a clause regarding the repayment of cancelled holidays and other emergency costs incurred, it is certainly worth shopping around for the better rabbit insurance deals on offer.
Lost Pet Passport
After numerous delays we are finally seeing the emergence of pet rabbit passports for those animals which cross over national boundaries and while they are very useful for tracking purpose, they can be very expensive. Many insurance for rabbits will ensure that financial assistance is given should a passport be lost or stolen, something which many rabbit owners will welcome with open arms.

George Michael. Skeptic. Volume 21, Issue 4. 2016.
Last June, the long awaited sequel Independence Day: Resurgence opened in theaters around the world. Although not as commercially successful as its blockbuster predecessor, the film at least elaborated in greater detail on alien motivations for conquering Earth. As explained in the story, the alien mothership sought to harvest the heat of the Earth's core, which in the process would destroy the planet's magnetic field, thus obliterating all of its inhabitants. Such a scenario is highly improbable because there would be more feasible methods for alien civilizations to extract comparatively greater amounts of energy, including harnessing the heat of stars, which are estimated to number 400 billion in the Milky Way Galaxy alone. Moreover, it does not seem plausible that an advanced alien civilization capable of traversing interstellar distances would be interested in extracting the relatively crude energy sources or harvesting resources to be found on Earth when such commodities could be obtained in much greater quantities closer to the home planet. From the perspective of an advanced alien civilization, plundering the Earth for its resources would be neither practical nor desirable. Be that as it may, there would be good reasons for interstellar colonization, primarily for defensive, rather than offensive purposes. To ensure its longterm survival, a civilization would need to keep apprised of what is happening outside of its star system, for there are a number of perils that lurk in the Galaxy. Thus, the construction of a Galactic Defense System is advisable.
Perils In the Galaxy
The most serious threats that we face in the Galaxy are not hostile aliens as depicted in science fiction films, but naturally occurring astronomical phenomena. Concomitant with the discovery of new celestial bodies, astronomers have come to understand the perilous nature of the cosmos. These discoveries correlate with recent findings in the field of geology. Periodic mass extinctions as indicated in the Earth's fossil record suggest a galactic culprit may be responsible. The physicists Richard Muller and Robert Rohde, for example, found a distinct 62 million-year cycle in the pattern of marine extinctions. Perhaps as our solar system passes through the Milky Way's spiral arm, the Earth is subjected to a number of exogenous forces stemming from that part of the Galaxy.
Astronomical events have the potential to wipe out life over broad swaths of space. To give one example, when a large star explodes in a supernova the radiation produced within 30 light years of a habitable planet would probably destroy all of its surface life. In July of 2016 it was reported that an exploding star might have triggered a minor mass extinction 2.59 million years ago, around the start of the Pleistocene, when hominins began to flourish in Africa. Thankfully, our Sun is located in the suburbs, far from the galactic center where most supernovae occur. Astronomers have not detected any large stars with the potential to become supernovae in the vicinity of our solar system. But other habitable planets may host advanced alien civilizations that are not so fortunate, in which case they would have a great incentive to monitor potential supernovae.
The most powerful known explosions in the universe-gamma ray bursts-emit more energy in a few seconds than the Sun will emit in its lifetime. Although their cause is not yet certain, these massive explosions might be produced when neutron stars merge with each other. Such events occur about every hundred million years in the Milky Way Galaxy. Awesomely bright, they can be seen far away across the universe. Even if one occurred in a distant region in the Galaxy, it could possibly destroy our protective ozone layer and by doing so, sterilize all life on the planet. Far more powerful than a supernova, some astronomers believe that a gamma ray burst from up to 10,000 light years away could affect the Earth.
Finally, there are the perils related to comets and asteroids. Although less immediate and devastating in their initial impact, they occur with much greater frequency than supernovae and gamma ray bursts. In fact, in some instances comet and asteroid impacts can wipe out complex life forms on a planet at a stroke. The roughly 200 known asteroids whose paths take them near Earth pose a real threat to life on this planet. About 20 percent of them, sooner or later, are bound to strike Earth, with possibly devastating consequences. Every few hundred years on average, the Earth is struck by an object about 70 meters in diameter. The resulting energy is roughly 50 megatons-equal to the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated. Even worse, approximately every 10,000 years, a 200-meter object that could precipitate serious climatic changes collides with Earth. And every million years, an impact by an object over 2 kilometers occurs, the impact of which produces an explosion equivalent to nearly a million megatons. Such an impact would provoke a global catastrophe, wiping out a significant fraction of the human race-perhaps up to a billion people on the planet. Geological evidence suggests that asteroids have been implicated in mass extinctions in Earth's past, as indicated by the massive Chicxulub crater buried beneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. The asteroid that struck the Earth 66 million years ago likely engendered the demise of the dinosaurs.
Astronomical disasters can come without much warning. At present, Earth's civilization is left to the mercy of the vicissitudes of the Galaxy. But with exciting scientific and technological developments on the horizon, we may someday realistically plan a defense system to guard against these galactic perils.
Prototypical Earth-based Defense Systems
Throughout Earth's history, a number of defense systems have been produced to protect nations against international threats. Under the leadership of Emperor Quin Shi Huang, construction commenced on the Great Wall of China in 220 BCE to guard against the various nomadic tribes of the Eurasian Steppe. During the Cold War, the joint U.S.-Canadian command-NORAD-was established to provide an aerospace warning and defense system for North America, primarily against the threat of the Soviet Union. Even more ambitious, in 1983 President Ronald Reagan proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative (popularly called Star Wars) as a missile defense system intended to protect the United States and its allies from attack by ballistic nuclear missiles. Although an operational system has yet to be deployed, technological advances could one day make such a system feasible.
The good news is that since the end of the Cold War, both the United States and Russia have drastically reduced their nuclear arsenals. According to many indices-as Steven Pinker noted in The Better Angels of Our Nature-the world is actually becoming a safer place. More and more, governments reject the appropriateness of waging war. As a consequence, if the nations of the world can get past their differences, military systems-such as ballistic missile defense-might be redesigned for protection from threats outside of our planet.
Someday the human race might develop the capacity to obliterate dangerous asteroids or deflect them away from the Earth. It has been suggested that a nuclear weapon could be used to destroy an incoming asteroid exploding it into enough small pieces so that it would produce a harmless, though spectacular, meteor shower. Another method would be to nudge an asteroid out of harm's way with slow but steady rockets that could be attached to one side. Even more exotic, lasers could be used to vaporize or deflect potentially hazardous objects en route to Earth. Working in collaboration with the European Space Agency and Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory, NASA is examining ways to redirect near-Earth objects away from our planet using a variety of techniques. Of course, deflection technology would have a great potential for misuse. Its dual-use nature means that it could be utilized for offensive military operations, which would make arms control efforts problematical.
A Galactic Defense System
To date, nations have built defense systems to protect themselves against their terrestrial rivals. If governments around the world could someday set aside their differences, however, they could embark on a truly planetary defense network to protect the Earth from exogenous forces in space. What form would a Galactic Defense System take? Technology permitting, a network of sensors deployed throughout the Galaxy could be used to detect astronomical events and alert the Earth to potential perils related thereto. A number of formidable challenges would have to be surmounted in creating this network, but the fledging field of robotics holds much promise on the construction end of the project. John von Neumann and Ronald Bracewell once conjectured that extraterrestrial civilizations might send selfreplicating robotic probes to explore other solar systems. These probes would be programmed to extract raw materials and construct additional new machines that would spread throughout the universe. Inasmuch as these machines would be selfreplicating, they would require no additional effort or expenditure from the civilization that created the original prototype. New breakthroughs in nanotechnology and computers could someday enable the development of long-range space missions capable of establishing a galactic network of sensors.
With a monitoring system functional in the galaxy, an advanced civilization on Earth could take measures to protect itself against dangerous eventualities emanating from deep space. One obvious method would be to construct a protective bubble around the planet. Freeman Dyson theorized that a hypothetical megastructure could be utilized to encompass a star as a system of orbiting solar power satellites to capture most of the energy output. To be sure, constructing a Dyson sphere, as it has come to be called, would be a gargantuan engineering undertaking, but a theoretically possible one. To complete the project, Dyson suggested it might be possible to use solar energy to dismantle planets and rearrange their pieces as parts of a massive solar collection sphere. The proposed biosphere would not be a solid shell, but rather, a "loose collection or swarm of objects" independently orbiting the star. Although Dyson had energy extraction in mind when theorizing on his megastructure, the basic design could certainly be modified for protective purposes as well. This part of a Galactic Defense System could be constructed in such a way as to totally envelop the home planet, which would provide a protective shield from harmful cosmic rays.
Of course, it is quite possible that an advanced civilization might someday transition to a form of post-biological life. In that vein, in 2005 the noted inventor Ray Kurzweil predicted that by the year 2045 we will reach the Singularity, that is, an epoch in which humans will transcend their biological bodies and meld with computers. According to Kurzweil, this transition will be the natural next evolutionary step. But even if intelligent sentient beings have evolved to a form of post-biological life, they would still most likely be concerned with developments in their galaxy. After all, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) on Earth can disrupt and damage electronic equipment. Likewise, solar activities-including flares and coronal mass ejections-could destroy power grids on Earth. It would seem to follow that the cosmic rays emanating from supernovae and gamma ray bursts could be harmful to computer-based life as well. Consequently, even sentient machines would have an interest in developing some sort of Galactic Defense System.
Perhaps even more challenging than the engineering projects discussed above would be to develop a message system that could relay superluminal messages to the home planet or space colony. Inasmuch as the lethal X-rays and gamma rays emitted by supernovae travel as electromagnetic waves, they would reach the Earth at the speed of light and their lethal effects would be sudden. Therefore, even if probes were deployed in distant regions of the cosmos and their messages were relayed back to the home civilization by way of standard electromagnetic transmissions, it would be too late by the time they arrived. Not long after we saw the stellar explosion, or received the warning message, we would soon be dead. To be effective, this early warning system would have to somehow relay information back to the mother planet at a rate faster than the speed of light.
According to Albert Einstein's 1905 Special Theory of Relativity nothing can travel faster than light, which would seem to rule out the prospect of a superluminal communication network as envisaged for the Galactic Defense System. However, Einstein later amended his own theory in 1915 with the General Theory of Relativity in which he conceded that under certain conditions, the superluminal transmission of information is theoretically possible. For instance, one could use large amounts of energy to continuously stretch space and time. The fabric of space could be compressed so that a radio message or even a spacecraft could travel though the medium at a sub-luminal speed yet arrive at a point in time and space comparable to having traveled at a superluminal speed. Another way to avoid the cosmic speed limit would be to use a wormhole as a shortcut across space and time. Einstein and Nathan Rosen once speculated that a so-called "Einstein-Rosen bridge" could connect two universes creating a shortcut through time and space. Theoretically, one could create a wormhole by compressing an object so that it becomes smaller than its "event horizon." The energy requirements for such a system, though, would be extraordinary and well beyond the scope of our current capabilities.
More promising would be the use of quantum entanglement to transmit information. This concept grew out of a paper written in 1935 by Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen. Their thought experiment-which came to be known as the EPR paradox-maintains that when two particles, such as photons or electrons interact with one another, the observation of one particle will produce instantaneous effects for the observer of the twin particle, even when vast distances separate the particles. In the parlance of theoretical physics, such particles are said to be "entangled."
In the EPR paper, Einstein sought to demonstrate that the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics was incomplete. Largely devised by Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, it posits that physical systems do not have definite properties prior to being measured as had been assumed in classical physics. Instead, at the quantum level, we can only predict the probabilities that measurements will produce certain results. The very act of measurement affects the system causing the set of probabilities-or "superposition"-to collapse to only one possible value immediately after the measurement. A central tenet of the Copenhagen interpretation is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which posits that one cannot simultaneously know the exact momentum and position of a particle. Consistent with the EPR paradox, however, the state of particle B would depend on which measurement an observer chose to make of particle A. Thus, how could particle B possibly "know" whether it should have a precisely defined momentum or a precisely defined position? This proposition would seem to violate Einstein's dictum of locality, which postulates that what happens in one place cannot affect something in a faraway location unless a signal is sent to the other location at a speed equal to or less than the speed of light. Einstein concluded that no reasonable definition of reality could permit this phenomenon, which he derided as "spooky action at a distance."
Nevertheless, entanglement has been demonstrated on numerous occasions in experiments conducted by noted theoretical physicists, including Nicholas Gisin, John Bell, Anton Zeilinger, and Alain Aspect. When two particles are entangled with each other, they exhibit a peculiar bond that seems to transcend space.
Could quantum entanglement ever be used for practical purposes? Donald E. Tarter speculates that some day we might be able to use quantum entanglement to communicate instantaneously across vast interstellar distances. For his plan, Tarter calls for sophisticated "photon traps" that would grab and store the photons for polarization measurement. The information transmitted would be carried in the changing polarization of the photon stream. Once two space stations have entangled photons in the position, instant communication would then be possible. However, the initial contact could not exceed the classical limit of the speed of light. Tarter imagines that advanced civilizations might use massive and distant cosmic phenomena such as gamma ray bursts to carry their quantum keys throughout the universe.
Alas-at least at present-it does not appear possible to send readable messages faster than the speed of light. According to our current understanding of quantum mechanics, entanglement cannot be used to send superluminal messages because the act of measuring the spin of one pair of entangled particles always gives a random result, even if the results of the two measurements are correlated. Any attempt to pre-set the spin of a particle would break the entanglement. The "quantum message" cannot be read until one pole in the system sends a code key to the other pole in the system. As George Musser explained in his 2015 book Spooky Action at a Distance the only known way to send the code key would be to use "some run-of-the-mill communications system such as e-mail, phone, or marathon runner. The extra requirement of performing a comparison makes entangled particles useless for transmitting a signal."
Still, exciting new research holds out promise in the area of quantum communications. For example, in September of 2015, a research team led by Hiroki Takesue succeeded in teleporting information over 62 miles using quantum entanglement. But to date, no experiment has demonstrated a way to use teleportation to send information at superluminal speeds. Despite the failure to achieve faster-than-light transmissions in a laboratory, it might someday be possible as an advanced civilization unlocks more mysteries of physics.
This proposed Galactic Defense System could serve as an early warning system alerting advanced civilizations to the astronomical perils in the Galaxy. Admittedly, the successful construction of this network presupposes yetto-be-discovered speculative laws of physics that might not exist. Further, Herculean scientific, technological, and engineering accomplishments would be necessary for its completion. But based on the history of science, it behooves us to consider the possibility that new and revolutionary discoveries could be on the horizon.
In the year 1900, the eminent British scientist and one of the founders of thermodynamics, William Thompson (Lord Kelvin), proclaimed to the British Association for the Advancement of Science that there was nothing new to be discovered in physics. All that remained was for scientists to make more and precise measurements. Then in less than two decades, relativity and quantum mechanics emerged to shake the foundations of classical physics. In the near future, a concatenation of new technologies and scientific discoveries-nanotechnology, quantum computing, fusion, and string theory-implies that progress will proceed very rapidly, exponentially, rather than linearly. With these capabilities, we may someday be ready to journey outside of our solar system and construct ambitious engineering projects, including a Galactic Defense System.

President Karen Rue of the Texas Association of School Administrators, similarly to Marcus Hiles' beliefs, urged that, "kids deserve transformational, top-to-bottom reform. We need a better understanding of what it costs to educate 5.2 million students." Assisting policymakers in ensuring every child is educated enough to command a job paying above the poverty line is the AEI-Brookings Institute, a Washington, D.C. based nonprofit public policy research organization, which formed the Working Group on Poverty and Opportunity. Its 2015 report encouraged policies to boost public investment in preschool and postsecondary education, encourage social-emotional as well as academic skills, modernize the organization and accountability of the educational system, and close resource gaps. Education remains a vital way for Texans to transform economic circumstances and access to quality education has the potential to provide improved opportunities for countless American children.

The SimScale engineering team has been hard at work over the last couple of weeks to improve and enhance SimScale's capabilities. Here are some highlights of the last release.
Boussinesq Approximation for Thermal Flow Analysis
Natural convection plays an important role in many engineering and architecture applications. For example, in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning design (see the thermal comfort simulation of a theater room below) but also in the thermal management of electronics equipment. The available analysis type on SimScale for such buoyancy-driven flows has been enhanced to allow the user to switch on the "Boussinesq Approximation". If this approximation is switched on, all effects of density differences within the flow are being ignored, except for the one due to gravity. This is a simplification of the actual physics which holds true for many low-temperate, low-speed flows and allows for significantly faster simulations!
Porous Media Flow Simulation Enhancements
Defining parts of a flow domain as porous media is a great way to efficiently approximate the pressure loss within a flow across a radiator or a perforated plate, for example. Historically only available in thermal flow analysis, porous media properties can now also be assigned within incompressible flow simulations, as well as based on parts of the mesh and not just via geometry primitives. Below is a screenshot of a project where porous media flow was used to model the radiator of a Formula 1 car.
Unit Awareness in Post-Processor
We're working on improving the result visualization and analysis capabilities of SimScale. As a first step, the post-processor has become unit aware, such that all result fields are now displayed, including the unit.
Identify Problematic CAD Regions
New reporting mechanisms can help identify and fix problematic CAD regions in cases where the mesh cannot be generated successfully.
Orthogonal Projection in 3D View
The projection options of the 3D view have been extended with an "Orthogonal Projection" which is often advantageous in selection or alignment procedures. A new drop-down in the viewer menu allows switching between "Orthogonal" and "Perspective" options. The drone CAD model below shows the different projection types: On the left "Perspective", on the right "Orthogonal".
And more…
Each week many small improvements, fixes, and enhancements are being shipped that never make it to such a blog post. Here is a couple of them:
- Faster project loading times: Both your private and public projects can now be loaded and searched much faster. Try it yourself here.
- Faster switching between different 3D views
- Convenient "Generate" button for meshes: The new "Generate" button takes you from CAD to Mesh with a single click!
- Numerous meshing algorithm improvements: Based on tens of thousands of meshes being generated, the meshing algorithms have been improved and refined. Specifically, the hex-dominant mesher for fluid flow simulations has undergone a major update.
- Streamlined design: To provide a more consistent user experience, the entire UI has been aligned to the same design.

A health screening test is a medical test or procedure performed on members of an asymptomatic population or population subgroup to assess their likelihood of having a particular disease. We often think of screening for early diagnosis of cancer (such as Pap smears for cervical cancer or colonoscopy for colon cancer), but there are many other screening tests commonly used, for example, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) for congenital hypothyroidism in newborns, cholesterol level for heart disease, urine drug screen for illicit drug use, or blood pressure for hypertension. Some screening tests are applied to a large segment of the population (for instance, all adults older than age 50), while others target a smaller subset of the population (pregnant women). Many screening tests are widely used in the United States. Healthcare providers can agree that early diagnosis of a life-threatening disease, for which there is an effective treatment, is a positive action.
Unfortunately, health screening is complicated. Many articles about screening present a bewildering array of medical economics and biostatistics to make their points and a multitude of credible organizations have offered their own (often differing) screening recommendations. The economic implications of screening are real. Even a single screening test, applied to a large number (millions) of people, can result in billions of dollars of health care expenditure annually. There are legitimate debates about sensitivity and specificity, disease prevalence, predictive values, lead-time bias, screening intervals, and appropriate cutoffs for positive or negative results. Recently, "shared decision making" has been suggested as an option when there is uncertainty about the advisability of a particular screening test (such as the prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer). That may be possible if your patient is an educated professional. However, asking a patient without medical training to understand issues that challenge the intellect and judgment of most trained clinicians does not seem realistic. That the issue even arises highlights the urgent need for better screening tests.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The function of health screening is to assess the likelihood that an asymptomatic individual has a particular disease, with the goal of preventing illness or death from that disease. There are several characteristics of a good screening test.
There is no perfect screening test, but looking at a questionable screening test and a reasonable screening test is helpful for understanding the issues.
First, consider a questionable (bad) screening test. Many patients get an annual (or periodic) complete blood count (CBC) and comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP). Doctors do this to identify some asymptomatic disease (screening for anemia or hypokalemia). Is there any scientific support for this? No. There is none. It is a shot in the dark. The patient in question is a healthy asymptomatic adult, not a hypertensive patient in whom we are following serum chemistry or a patient with menorrhagia in whom we are following a CBC. There's no evidence that a routine CBC or CMP in a healthy, asymptomatic adult is useful, reasonable, or cost-effective. However, doctors order these tests. The reason (not without some basis in reality) that they are more likely to be criticized (or sued) for doing too little rather than too much, so they err on the side of doing too much. Moreover, they may rationalize that at least they are not ordering a total body CT scan for screening. Multiply one CBC or CMP by thousands or millions of patients per year. By eliminating these unnecessary tests, we can pay for thousands or millions of rational screening tests per year.
Then, consider a reasonable ("good") screening test. Checking a blood type on a woman early in her pregnancy has become standard of care in the US since the 1970s. It is done as a screening test primarily to identify women with Rh-negative blood type. Why? Because if Rh incompatibility is present, antenatal and postnatal RhoGAM given to the mother dramatically reduces the incidence of the problems that can result. (The problems occur when a woman is Rh-negative, and her baby is Rh-positive, and they mainly affect the baby. If untreated, the problems get worse with subsequent pregnancies.) Because checking the mother's blood type in pregnancy is now almost universal, and most Rh negative women receive RhoGAM, most younger US physicians have never seen a case of severe hemolytic disease of the fetus or newborn. A simple, inexpensive, and readily available screening blood test, with appropriate follow-up treatment when indicated, has virtually eliminated what used to be a common and potentially fatal consequence of Rh incompatibility.[7][8][9]
A good screening test should target diseases that are prevalent in the population and cause significant morbidity and mortality. The leading cause of death is the United States is heart disease. The second leading cause of death is cancer, with lung cancer and colorectal cancer accounting for the highest number of cancer deaths. The following are the screening tests available for these three diseases.
Heart Disease (ischemic heart disease or coronary artery disease, rather than valvular heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). The following can be done to diagnose heart disease while it is asymptomatic.
First doctors can identify risk factors to determine patients at increased risk for heart disease, for example, they can routinely inquire about smoking and family history of heart disease.
They can check blood pressure and lipids (total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL) and blood sugar (to detect diabetes) periodically. Exactly when to start checking blood pressure and lipid profiles and fasting blood sugar, and how often to check them, is less clear.
There are a variety of heart disease risk-assessment tools, none of which are superior to the others. Then screening tools become more controversial among healthcare professionals. For example, the value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), resting EKG, exercise stress testing (with or without nuclear imaging), coronary artery calcium (CAC) score determined by electron beam or multidetector row computed tomography (EBCT or MBCT), and CT angiography have yet to be determined. They are not recommended in an asymptomatic low or average risk individual. Their place in screening an asymptomatic high-risk individual is less clear, but there is no consistent recommendation for their use. Doctors should get a complete history, a blood pressure reading, a lipid profile, and a fasting blood sugar as screening tests, not for heart disease itself but to determine the risk factors for heart disease.[10][11]
Lung Cancer
As we noted above, previous recommendations for screening chest x-rays for the early diagnosis of lung cancer were stopped. While lung cancer could be diagnosed earlier by a screening chest x-ray in an asymptomatic individual, it became clear that early diagnosis did not change the course of the disease. This is an example of lead time bias. Patients may seem to live longer, but only because the cancer is diagnosed earlier. Other tests, such as sputum cytology, have not been shown to be beneficial. The most promising test currently being studied is low-dose helical CT scanning (LDCT) performed with maximum inspiratory breath-hold, in 25 seconds or less, with high-resolution reconstruction. There is evidence of a mortality benefit from LDCT, but more studies are needed. Candidates for annual screening are patients aged 55 to 74 (some recommend up to age 80) years, a history of smoking at least 30 pack-years, and, if a former smoker had quit within the previous 15 years. For former smokers, annual screening should continue until 15 years has elapsed from the date of smoking cessation. Other screening tests currently being studied include PET scanning and identification of molecular and protein-based tumor biomarkers in sputum specimens. There is insufficient evidence to recommend these tests at this time.[12][13][14]
Colorectal Cancer
Both the incidence and the mortality rates from colorectal cancer have been decreasing in the United States for a number of years, partly (although not exclusively) because of increased screening. There are two general groups of screening tests available. Stool-based tests include the guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (gFOBT), the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), and the FIT-DNA test. Endoscopic and radiologic tests include flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and CT colonography (CTC). These tests vary as to cost, ease, sensitivity, and specificity. None of these tests has been found to be superior in head-to-head trials, so at this time they are all considered viable options for colorectal cancer screening. Until one screening test is demonstrated to be better than the others, any screening test is better than none. Tests such as digital rectal exam and air-contrast barium enema are no longer widely recommended for colorectal cancer screening.[4][5]
It is incumbent on clinicians to recommend screening tests that have strong evidence to support their use, not to recommend screening tests that do not have such evidence and to be familiar with additional information about specific screening tests as it becomes available. Fortunately, many organizations make and frequently update screening recommendations for a broad range of diseases. Both the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) offer broad screening recommendations that consider, in detail, the pros and cons of various screening tests. Recommendations for a narrower range of screening tests come from organizations such as the American Cancer Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Heart Association, to name only a few.[4][12][1][15][6][16]
Healthcare workers including nurse practitioners should not order screening tests that lack evidence or are very rare. This only leads to higher healthcare costs and subjects patients to unnecessary tests and procedures. It is important to discuss with the healthcare team the merits of a screening test before ordering one. Both the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) offer broad screening recommendations that consider, in detail, the pros and cons of various screening tests. If there is a doubt about a screening test, consultation from a specialist should be sought. Only through open communication between the clinicians can screening tests be used when appropriate and reduce the costs of healthcare.
Nurse practitioners should be familiar with disorders that can be screened for. In general, screening for rare disorders is a waste of time and is associated with higher healthcare costs. It is important to consult with a specialist before ordering a screening test. Most of the screening tests have not lived up to expectations.
When nurse practitioners do order a screening test, it is important to follow up. An area of frequent malpractice is ordering a test and not following on the result.

Time To Tell The Truth About Israel …Without Fear Of The Mind Police The Thought Censors Don't Like It? Tough
March 20, 2010 Leave a comment
So, yet again, the people of the virtual-concentration camp, known officially as 'Gaza', are being bombarded from the sky by the bully-boys of Tel Aviv.
State-of-the art Israeli jets, paid for by the United States, bomb civilian targets in this tragic, poverty-stricken wasteland which acts as a holding camp for the human beings the Israeli government would rather be dead. Waiting in the wings are Israeli tanks preparing for a possible ground invasion of Gaza, again paid for by the United States.
The world watches as a nation of people, the Palestinians, are systematically crushed and destroyed by the tyrants who call the shots in Israel on behalf of that country's real power structure the House of Rothschild.
And, taxpayers of America (and elsewhere), you are paying for this calculated slaughter.
The Palestinian 'territories' of Gaza and the West Bank
American aid to Israel accounts for something like a third of all US overseas aid when Israel is home to just .001 per cent of the global population and has one of the highest incomes per head in the world. This is even without all the 'private' donations from US corporations and individuals which are tax-deductible even when given to the Israeli military, unlike any other foreign power.
According to 2007 figures, the United States government gave more than $6.8 million to wealthy Israel every day while to the desperate and devastated Palestinians of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank they gave just $300,000.
US military 'aid' to Israel increased by more than a quarter to an average $3 billion a year in 2007 a figure guaranteed for ten years. This and other support makes Israel the biggest recipient of United States foreign military funding since the Second World War.
The United States is also Israel's biggest supplier of fighter planes, weapons and other military technology. As a result, Israel has the world's largest F-16 fleet outside the "United States Air Force" US Air Force. In their book, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt write:
'Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing the amounts provided to any other state. It has been the largest annual recipient of direct U.S. economic and military assistance since 1976 and the largest total recipient since World War ll. Total direct U.S. aid to Israel amounts to well over $140 billion in 2003 dollars.
Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one-fifth of America's entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year. This largesse is especially striking when one realizes that Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income roughly equal to South Korea or Spain.'
Why do they do this? Because the House of Rothschild controls Israel and the House of Rothschild controls the political system of the United States. The network that links the two is called 'Zionism', a Rothschild creation just like Israel itself.
The might of this Zionist cabal spanning Israel, the United States, Europe and beyond is yet again, like the playground bully that it is, attacking the little kid in the calipers the people of Gaza.
At the time of writing the death toll is 430 Palestinian men, women and children with more than 2,000 injured. They are bombing the unarmed innocent knowing there will be no credible response the way all bullies operate. Oh, brave men of Israel; oh how Yahweh would be so proud:
'When the LORD your God hands these nations over to you and you conquer them, you must completely destroy them. Make no treaties with them and show them no mercy.'
Deuteronomy 7:1-4
What we are seeing in Gaza, and have seen so many times, both there and in the Lebanon, is merciless Old Testament slaughter: cold, calculated, heartless slaughter.
'So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. "This is what you are to do," they said. "Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin".'
Judges 21:10-24
'Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple".'
Ezekiel 9:5-7
'So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told.'
Ezekiel 9:5-7
The parallels are endless between the bloodthirsty 'God' of the Old Testament and the actions of the heartless, soulless, Artificial Intelligence that controls Israel, most notably the biological robots of the House of Rothschild who thus have no soul, no empathy, no more mercy for the consequences of their actions than a desktop computer.
Imagine if Iran or anyone else outside Israel and the United States (both Rothschild assets) was doing what the Israeli military is doing in Gaza. There would be global condemnation, not least from Israel and the United States, resolutions passed in the UN Security Council and talk of the need for sanctions or military intervention to 'save the innocent'.
But when Israel does it we have vacuous calls for a truce, an end to the violence while 'understanding Israel's position', and, in terms of soon-to-be President 'Change' Obama, silence. It's all a fraction of what others would face because Israel is a wholly-owned asset of the Rothschilds and so is not subject to the same rules as anyone else. As former Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, said:
'Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial.'
And Prime Minister Golda Meir betrayed the same Zionist arrogance:
'This country exists as the fulfilment of a promise made by God Himself. It would be ridiculous to ask it to account for its legitimacy.'
Ah, it's all in the Old Testament? Gotcha, right, well do as you like then.
The 'Jewish homeland' was from the start a Rothschild fiefdom orchestrated through the global secret society network of interbreeding families known as the Illuminati.
During the Israeli military attacks on the Lebanon in 2006, the Israeli writer, Barry Chamish, told of a meeting with Evelyn Rothschild's grandson, who abandoned the family to be a Mormon (so actually he didn't, even if he thought he did).
Chamish said he learned that just seven families were enjoying the 'fruits of the war' with the Lebanon. The grandson had said of the Rothschilds: 'They created Israel as their personal toy. It makes them richer and gives them more control. It's not going to be destroyed.'
The Rothschilds funded the early European settlers in Israel, manipulated events in Germany that led to the horrific treatment of Jewish people and others, and then used that as the excuse to reach their long-term goal – a Rothschild-Illuminati stronghold in Palestine using the Jewish population as fodder to be used and abused as necessary.

Brownsville Police have confirmed to Fox New South Texas 31 year old German Ornelas was shot while police were attempting to deliver a felony warrant. Ornelas was hospitalized at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Brownsville, but was later pronounced dead due to his injuries.
Police released a statement regarding the indecent. Police arrived at the location where German Ornelas was located at 55 W. St. Charles St. They say Ornelas was discovered in a back room, armed with a knife. Officers tried to negotiate with Ornelas, but he refused to cooperate and tried to attack officers.
That's when officers say they felt threatened and shot him.
The full statement by Brownsville Police:
BPD identified the subject involved in this morning shooting as German Ornelas (31). He expired today at a local hospital. The warrant that the Officers were serving was for Burglary of Habitation (2nd degree felony). Case remains under investigation by the Texas Rangers.
At approximately 10:50A.M. today, Uniformed Services Division Officers and Detectives were attempting to serve a felony warrant at 55 W. St. Charles St. While doing so, the subject was located in a back room and brandished a knife. Subject defied orders given by the officers to drop the knife and our officers came under attack by the suspect. At that point, the officers fearing for their lives, fired on the subject to end the threat that they were under. Subject was transferred to local hospital, condition unknown. Case is under investigation by the Texas Rangers.

"I know well that no man will ever bring out of that office the reputation which carries him into it," Thomas Jefferson once wrote in a letter to Edward Rutledge about the American presidency. "The honeymoon would be as short in that case as in any other, and its moments of ecstasy would be ransomed by years of torment and hatred."
Who could deny our third president's candid and prescient assessment? In 2008, President Obama was swept into office boasting approval ratings nearly eclipsing 80 percent. Fast forward five years, however, and the "moments of ecstasy" he once enjoyed have given way to disappointment, disillusionment, and, yes, disapproval.
Speaking of which, according to a new CNN/ORC International survey, the president's disapproval rating is exactly the same as his predecessor's: 51 percent. This was, perhaps, wholly inconceivable during the Hope & Change era. After all, when Bush left office, his disapproval ratings -- depending on which poll you looked at -- were in the low to mid-60s. Today, his approval/disapproval numbers are virtually indistinguishable from his successor:
In January 2009, as President George W. Bush was days away from leaving the White House, the unpopular President's favorable rating stood at 35% in a CNN/ORC International survey. The man who was succeeding him, Barack Obama, was fresh from his historic 2008 presidential election victory and had a 78% favorable rating among Americans.
But a new CNN/ORC International poll released Thursday indicates a milestone of sorts: Obama is now as unpopular as Bush. Fifty-one percent have an unfavorable view of Bush; 51% feel the same way about Obama. Obama's favorable rating is now at 47% - a new low for him, and virtually identical to Bush's 46% favorable rating, a significant improvement over his 2009 numbers. ...
"This marks the first time in a CNN poll that a majority of Americans have an unfavorable view of Obama," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "And, at 51%, his unfavorable his higher than his favorables for the first time as well."
Mistakes, crises and scandals have taken a toll on this president -- as they do on all presidents. It was only a matter of time.

A GranFondo Retrospective. Try It, You'll Like It.
My first hitch of the day was applying sunscreen to my arms, and then trying to roll up my arm warmers. The forecast for the day was hot: yet leaving my house by the light of the moon and riding to the start of the GranFondo required warmth, thus the sunscreen/arm warmer combination. The two don't mingle, it turns out, and I think all of my sunscreen was scraped off by the time my arm warmers were in place.
These are the things you just can't plan for, but they always make race days memorable.
I left my house at 5:45 am to ride the 10 kilometers to the start (in effect making it a 132 km event, since my mind did record every kilometer we passed), when the second hitch struck. There are no streetlights on my road, and I couldn't see a thing. I gingerly glided down the hill in the dark, hoping I didn't spill before I even got to the starting line.
Once down on the well-illuminated main road, I was immediately caught up in a cheerfully growing peloton making their way over the Lion's Gate Bridge, to the start of the race on Georgia Street. Thus began the camaraderie – I knew no one, but felt a common bond. For those who don't do these races, this a big part of why we do them.
A full hour before the race, thousands of riders were already in place for the start. It was a sea of spandex and rubber, so I had to text to find my friend. Once in place, we watched the circus unfolding around us. Finally at 7:00 am, Barney Bentall and Jim Cuddie sang our national anthem, and then hopped on their bikes for the 122 km ride to Whistler. I know, cool, right?
This beginning section was what I feared most: bikes everywhere in a narrow corrider, unclipping from my pedals hundreds of times until we got some space between us to ride freely. But my fears were unfounded: race organizers did a bang up job and it went off without a hitch. We were on our way.
Riding through West Vancouver was so much fun – it was thrilling to have our own lane on the highway, and spectators huddled on overpasses and along the exits to cheer on riders. I was so relieved to be actually on my bike and upright after the start, I felt rather invincible.
That wouldn't last long however: shortly after Horseshoe Bay riders were off their bikes and motioning for us to slow down. A rider had crashed and looked badly injured, medics were already on the scene. One look at the accident and I lost my mojo, slowing considerably for a while after. A split second can change everything.
I had lost my friend but found her again as we rode up the Furry Creek hill. We decided to stop at the next rest stop in Britannia Beach and grab some food. The rest stops were somewhat of a party, with hundreds of bikers milling about and always familiar faces. It was nice to get off that seat, if only for a couple of minutes. We refueled and hit the road; it was literally all uphill from here: the biggest increase in elevation occurs between Squamish and Whistler. I had ridden to Squamish and back in training, but didn't have much knowledge of the road from that point on.
It is drastically different when driving.
As luck would have it it was getting hot as we started the uphill slog after Squamish. I noticed lots of riders beginning to slow down, and could see the distance was taking its toll. My knee was starting to throb, and getting up out of my seat was painful. I kept my head down and hoped the pain would subside eventually, since I otherwise felt fine, if a tad tired.
I pulled into the rest stop at the Salt Shed, with about 30 kilometers to go. Thankfully the medical tent was even closer than the water station. I walked in and asked, "What do you have for pain?" One volunteer sat me down and started rubbing what I hoped was miracle cream on my knee, while another got me Advil and refilled my water bottles. As this was happening two other riders came in asking the million dollar question, "What do you have for pain?"
With 30 kilometers to go, I was fairly certain I could finish, even if I had to pedal with only my left foot. But eventually either the Advil kicked in or the cream started to work, and I felt better. This was fortuitous because this is where the killer hills lurked. The sun was beating down on the asphalt and reeking havoc with tired riders. Many were pulled over during the last fifteen kilometers trying to stretch out muscle cramps, while others were losing their lunch. I focused on the road in front of me and counted down the distance; the kilometers at this point passing almost intolerably slowly.
Finally we were at Function Junction, and the tree cover provided a break from the unrelenting sun. The undulating hills that brought us in to the village were much kinder than the previous steep climbs, and of course there was the knowledge that the finish was near. Things were getting better.
Riding the last couple of turns were actually pleasurable – despite the pain running through my body, from a sore neck to an incredibly sore butt – knowing the race was behind me, the finish line in sight, and a beer would taste incredibly good soon.
Sitting on the grass later that evening, listening to 5440 play an outdoor concert as the sun fell behind Blackcomb mountain, it was hard to argue this was not an amazing event. I had been nervous about making the jump to road riding, but was euphoric I had done it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
For GranFondo Virgins, Myself Among Them
If you plan on heading to Whistler this weekend, pump up your tires and join the crowd: you will be served better by two wheels than four. The RBC GranFondo is in town. If your Italian is rusty, GranFondo translated means long race, massive pain. The upside is that cyclists will have their very own precious northbound lane along the Sea to Sky corrider from early morning until late afternoon.
For this special day, cyclists will not have to choke on exhaust. They will not be forced onto the gravel shoulder of a road by cars insistent on hugging the white line. They will be able to enjoy the breathtaking views in their peripheral vision without the distracting roar of engines.
Combine these attractions with the aging demographic, who find cycling easier on the joints if hard on the pocketbook, and you get 4000 participants in last year's inaugural event. A huge turnout by any race standard. This year the event has almost doubled in size – it sold out in April to 7000 riders.
And yes, I'm one of them.
I have logged hundreds of miles, much of them uphill, in preparation. I've gone from shakily practicing those damn toe clips in my driveway to manouvering skillfully through intersections. I've only fallen once this summer (and that was down stairs without my bike). I feel ready for this challenge – but for one caveat.
I'm used to avoiding hulking weapons of steel, otherwise known as cars, on my rides, but what about the 6,999 other cyclists? I've ridden with the occasional friend in my training, but it's hard to practice riding in a pack without, well, a pack.
So I've been busily interviewing every cyclist I know and Googling the hell out of "Tips for cycling races." The best advice I've had so far has been from my friend and uber-athlete, Chrissie, who told me NEVER, in any circumstances, take your eyes off the road. This may seem obvious, but I frequently shoulder check while I ride, which entails taking my eyes off the road for a millisecond. This is a no-no. I am to use my peripheral vision to shoulder check.
Eyes front.
The other thing she told me was to not watch the wheel of the rider in front of me, but rather look through them at the level of their hips, in order to see the road in front of that rider (as best you can without possessing x-ray vision).
So eyes front and slightly raised.
But what about all of those obstacles that we swerve to avoid, like broken glass and large potholes? Cyclists that I know will point these out with a wave of their hand if they are in front of me. If I'm alone however, I sometimes don't see them until the last second. The answer, according to bloggers, is to slowly and steadily steer around these obstacles, with the emphasis on slowly and steadily. If you see it too late, and if it's not big enough to swallow you and your bike whole, then ride through it rather than swerve and risk the rider behind you crashing into you.
Once again, the message here is eyes front. I'm getting it.
So it goes without saying when reaching for water bottles or fuel, do it without taking your eyes off of the road. My friend caught grief from riders in the Napa GranFondo when she inadvertently dropped her water bottle. Of course it was a mistake, but one that could have had consequences. I'm planning on not touching my bottles until well out of the pack.
Eyes front, steady hands.
Of course there are other niggling worries for the 120 km ride: proper nutrition and hydration, fatigue, my incessantly complaining ass. But they all pale in comparison to staying upright through the thickest of things. My biggest challenge will be to remain focused on the road in front of me, even if the rider beside me is naked.
Eyes front, smiling permitted.
Marathon Memories of Boston
It was only one short year ago that I was in Boston on this very weekend, getting ready to run the marathons of all marathons on Monday. People have since asked me, "Was Boston really all that?" The answer is it IS that, and so much more.
From the moment you set foot in Boston for marathon weekend, you feel you are on holy ground. The city transforms itself into a sea of blue and yellow, and you would feel out of place if you had anything on your feet besides runners. Runners signify athleticism over geekiness, a welcome change of events.
People everywhere near the runners expo at the Hynes Convention Center have their recognizable blue and yellow race day packages slung over their shoulder. Workers are lining the street with barriers and building the finish line stands. People are photographing each other on the finish line, smiling today knowing they may not be smiling on Monday. It is a hub of activity and excitement.
As you walk around on this blue and yellow cloud, it's hard to believe it is just a regular weekend in other parts of the world.
I was humbled by the people I was meeting, runners who have run not one or two but sixteen and seventeen Boston's. I met a man who had traveled from New Zealand for the race. People from all corners of America who regularly make this pilgrimage. The camaraderie is non-stop and all-invasive – not the place for a quiet weekend of reflection. It's a place to embrace, and be embraced, by our great sport.
It's hard not feel like you're a part of running history by simply being there. At the runner's expo I brushed elbows with storied people like Kathrine Switzer, Amby Burfoot, Joan Benoit Samuelson, and David Willey. Heady with touches of greatness and cross-eyed by the massive amounts of people, I actually got lost in the expo and couldn't find my way out.
Everywhere, people are helping people. It restores ones faith in humanity. My high-tech Garmin watch broke on Sunday, and the manager at their booth simply gave me her watch to use. I was traveling alone, but was invited by a fellow runner to have dinner with his large extended running family in Boston's storied north end. Everywhere people are speaking the body language of helping. It is impossible to get lost, or not know something. The first person you ask will help you.
It was surreal to walk out of my hotel at 6 am on race day and see the street lined with yellow school buses as far as the eye could see. Making my way to the Commons it could have been rush hour, as long lines of people waited to get on the buses that would take us out to Hopkinton, 26.2 miles outside of Boston.
The athletes village, set up at the Hopkinton high school, housed gigantic tents, with food and beverages being served at several tables for pre-race nutrition. People milled around in large groups, music boomed from speakers, and runners nervously chatted about their strategy or lack thereof. It was like being at a gigantic party. I reluctantly tore myself away from it and made my way to the starting line.
Waiting in my corral at the starting line, excitement crackling in the air, I could feel the ghosts of past runners who had stood on this same spot; albeit with fewer participants. In widely varying weather conditions, snow, rain, draining sunshine, people had stood here on Patriot's Day, waiting to begin the journey to Boylston Street.
If the entire weekend leading up to the race wasn't incredible enough, the race itself is out of a dream sequence. The festivities continue long after the sound of the gun. I saw a runner down a beer at the biker bar just down the road from Hopkinton, to the delight of the bikers. A runner veered off course in Natick to play lawn bowling with residents. Several runners stopped to kiss students in the Wellesley tunnel of love. I ran beside Captain Canada for a while, decked out head to toe in maple leafs and flags. Along the way people are holding up signs with the latest Red Sox score. Thousands of people lined the route, high-fiving and screaming the entire time.
It was evident that this was a moment in time. Despite a nagging pain in my knee that started only 5 km in, the momentum of both the crowd and the runners carried me through long after I would typically thrown in the towel. Boston is far from typical.
After Wellesley there are the Newton Hills, of which Heartbreak Hill is only one. Looming even larger is the descent from Heartbreak Hill to the Cleveland Circle, for me infinitely more difficult on my legs that were by then searing in pain, complaining loudly that they had had enough.
But Cleveland Circle leads to Beacon Street, and that meant thousands upon thousands of spectators lining the route, in some places 8 people deep, people on rooftops and balconies, everywhere spectators cheering you on. The Citgo sign appears, a vision to shoot for, proof that the end is actually in sight. If you can only put one foot in front of the other for a few more miles.
Fenway Park and the Citgo sign are the the last mile markers that send you through the famous directions, right on Hereford, left on Boylston, the shortest turn on the course, and undoubtably the loudest. Rounding the corner, the finish line is a short sprint away. Or crawl, depending.
As for the finish, let's just say it is an odd juxtaposition, feeling physically terrible but mentally high. Yet I very much recommend it. If you ever get the chance to run the Boston Marathon, just do it. The mountains you may have to move to get there will be waiting for you when you get back. The memories of the race will stay with you forever.

Easter is coming and there will probably be some candy in your life.
If you don't care about candy you don't need to read this blog. If you eat some candy and then have no trouble stopping, this blog isn't for you.
If you have studiously avoided candy because it's a "red light food" for you that sets you off on an out-of-control-overeating-extravaganza this blog is for you. If you have avoided candy because you fell for the message in the docu-crappery, Fed Up and you think sugar is killing you or that you suffer from sugar addiction, this blog may be for you.
I don't want to convince anybody to do something they think they "can't do."
Many years ago I presented a point of view that if a woman could eat 200 calories of red licorice and be satisfied, she could do the same with 200 calories of milk chocolate. One woman decided that, on my word, she would do the impossible because I said it could be done. According to her, it triggered the aforementioned out-of-control-overeating-extravaganza and she wanted me to be relieved of my duties as a Weight Watchers Leader effective immediately.
The point I'd like to make is that you are in control of your mouth.
If food goes into it, it's because you put it there. If you believe that you will lose control of your mouth because you ate something that will take over both your hands and your mouth, then yeah, don't put that substance in your mouth – even if somebody says it's okay. Take responsibility for your actions! That woman was probably the same kid who rode her bike off a cliff because somebody "told her to!"
So for those of you who are still with me and ready to challenge a limiting belief, let's get challenging!
Repeat after me:
- I am not addicted to sugar; I just like the taste!
- I can eat candy in balance and moderation!
- Candy enhances my life and is part of my healthful diet!
After making those statemements with conviction, eating candy in control starts by selecting your piece of candy on a full stomach. Indulge after having eaten a tasty and satisfying meal.
Choose a really special piece of candy.
If you don't particularly love dark chocolate, for example, don't choose it because you have read that it's "healthier." Eating candy isn't about healthy food choices, it's about an exquisite treat! So, go for what you really love! I'll take either milk chocolate covered caramel or a milk chocolate covered marshmallow egg!
Eat your candy in no fewer than 3 bites, and more if you can do so. Eat it slowly to enjoy it fully. If you like to let it melt in your mouth, then do it. Candy isn't for hastily gulping. No guilty feelings allowed. There is nothing sinful or decadant about eating candy and those words and feelings can undermine your pleasure and your power to stop.
If one piece of candy doesn't satisfy and you're tempted to have more ask yourself some questions?
- In an hour from now will I be happier or unhappy if I eat a second piece?
- (If the answer is unhappier) WIll I be unhappy because I feel deprived or because I was weak?
- Will the next piece taste any better or bring me more pleasure than the first piece?
- Is candy leaving the planet? Is this the last chance I'll ever have to eat candy again?
Those are questions that keep your logic engaged and avoid irrational emotions. They can apply to any food you think is "dangerous" to your weight and/or health. A little bit of any food can be part of an overall healthful eating plan.

Although electric vehicles are fast becoming a major technological showcase for numerous automakers, Mahindra has ruled out EVs for Australia citing cost, and the lack of government incentives, as the reason behind the decision.
At the local launch of the petrol-powered XUV500 SUV, Mahindra's chief of international operations, Arvind Mathew, confirmed the brand's focus would remain on petrol SUVs and diesel light-commercial vehicles.
Mahindra's electric vehicle history stretches back eight years, putting it ahead of many traditional automakers, but cost concerns mean Australia will go without.
"We do electric cars, but I don't think Australia is ready for electric because the kind of incentives you have to offset the high cost of batteries is not enough." Mathew told Australian journalists.
Mahindra was also the first vehicle manufacturer to enter the Formula E electric racing category, and plans to use its experience on track to contribute to the development of future road cars.
"We believe that investing in Formula E has its benefits, because the race-to-road concept. Whatever is proven or disproven on the track can feed into production three to four years later." Mathew said.
"Creating the technology that will flow into future cars and products is also a big benefit of formula E."
Mahindra's current EV range includes the e20 Plus light hatch, eVerito small sedan, passenger and cargo versions of the eSupro small van, and an electric auto rickshaw called the eAlpha.
While the current range features lithium ion-batteries and fast-charging capabilities depending on the model, specifications fall below what Australian buyers would expect – with as little as 110 kilometres of driving range from the eVerito and a maximum speed of 86km/h when fully laden.
The Indian government has suggested plans to become an EV-only market by 2030, though no firm policy has yet been put in place. In response, automakers in the region are planning to increase the number of electric vehicles available.
"We will keep expanding our portfolio as it goes forward." Mathew said of the EV switch, later confirming that to fit Australian market demands and emissions regulations, "commercial vehicles will stay in diesel, but when you're in passenger vehicles [SUV] they have to be gasoline."

You've seen him visit some of the most exotic locations on earth- and you've seen him taste some of the wildest creations imaginable. And yet Sunday night, there was Travel Channel personality Andrew Zimmern right there in person, inside of the Metropolitan West event space as the de facto host of the Asian night market known as "Lucky Chopsticks." The un-official show closer to the 2016 New York City Wine and Food Festival, the event saved some of the best dishes of the entire long weekend for last. And best of all, the three hour tasting affair was priced at just $75, a bargain given both the delicious dishes being offered and the number of quality restaurants participating in the evening.
To celebrate some of the best in Asian inspired fare, event promoters pulled out all the stops in assembling a terrific collection of chefs, backed by a limitless supply of VOSS Water, ice cold bottles of Heineken and an arrangement of sakes curated specifically for this night. To commemorate the launch of Zimmern's new show 'Driven by Food' the dimly lit market setting was perfectly appropriate to cap off a banner weekend, with a house DJ working the mix as guests paraded around the room decoratively donning white karate-style bandanas. And then of course, there was the food.
Amid the reported closings of Park Slope restaurants Pork Slope and Thistle Hill Tavern, Chef Dale Talde showed off his cooking chops with an outstanding "Singapore Style Rigatoni." Immaculately seasoned, a salt-filled XO sauce coated some wonderfully al dente pasta cylinders, surrounded by mussels and Chinese sausage. No ingredient was wasted in the delectable bowl, an immediate favorite with our impressed taste buds. Tuome meanwhile whipped up an equally savory selection, enveloping piping hot and tender duck meat within a halved brioche bun and topped with daikon relish. The 'Quack on Brioche' was both generously portioned and definitively memorable, from the Asian-leaning East Village restaurant.
After popping several "Beef Short Rib & Flower Chive Dumplings" from RedFarm and some red chili oil doused "Liang Pi 'Cold-Skin' Noodles" from the growing chain of Xi'An Famous Foods, we jumped on line to grab a few moments with Andrew Zimmern, who, while overwhelmed, was attentive to each and every guest request. Be it posing for selfies or chatting with some awestruck folks, the charismatic and knowledgeable personality was game for anything in between passing out small containers of "Black Bean Braised Goat," a dish that did not photograph well, but was as complex and flavorful as any that we tasted all evening long.
From "Lobster Tacos" (Haru Sushi) to sesame sprinkled "Crab Claws" (Mr. Chow New York), sauce covered "Bao Buns" (2nd City) to excellent "Shrimp Toast" (Duck Duck Goat), Sunday night provided a literal feast for the hundreds in attendance. Many of the guests may have been worn down from an extended weekend of overindulging, but when faced with the prospect of a mouthwatering dumpling, a bowl of oily noodles or a fluffy white bun stuffed with fresh pork- it's nearly impossible to waive the white flag. It's best to just sharpen up those 'Lucky Chopsticks' and dive right in.
