New to Medicare? Follow this Checklist for a Successful StartPosted by Medicare Made Clear
If you've recently joined Medicare, welcome! You're one of more than 50 million Americans1 who get their health care coverage from this government-sponsored health insurance program.
You may feel a bit overwhelmed from the enrollment process. You're not alone. Medicare can be complicated, and there is a lot to learn.
And you may be wondering, "What are my next steps?" Don't worry. Here are 7 tips to help make your Medicare journey a smooth one.
- Review your new Medicare card to learn how to contact Medicare and what kind of Medicare coverage you have. You may have other cards as well if you signed up for a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C), a prescription drug plan (Part D) or a Medicare supplement insurance plan (Medigap). Keep all your health insurance cards in a safe place. Bring them with you to the doctor or pharmacy.
- Schedule your Welcome to Medicare visit during the first 12 months you have Medicare Part B. This is a one-time exam that will give you a full review of your health and teach you about preventive services you may need. There is no additional cost for the visit, and the Part B deductible does not apply.
- Fill out an Authorization Form if you want a family member or friend to call Medicare on your behalf. Before Medicare will give personal health information about you to anyone, you must first give Medicare your written permission.
- Sign up for MyMedicare.gov, Medicare's secure online service where you can access your personal Medicare information 24 hours a day, every day. You can:
- Track your health care claims
- View your Medicare Summary Notices (MSNs)
- Order a replacement Medicare card
- Check your Medicare Part B deductible status
- View your eligibility information
- Track your preventive services
- Find information about your Medicare health plan or Medicare Prescription Drug plan (Part D), or search for a new one
- Keep your Medicare information in one place
- If you have Medicare Part B, learn the five ways to pay your premium.
- Mark your calendar to review your coverage every year before Medicare Open Enrollment, October 15-December 7. Your health needs and budget may change, and you may want to fine-tune your coverage, too.
- Stay informed. Receive Medicare updates and information monthly by signing up through MedicareMadeClear.
Knowing what to expect and do now that you're on Medicare will help make your journey a much smoother one.

Custom Made Dress Form Christmas Tree: Leopard-print with Silver & Gold
Item #ct4554
This handmade dress form tree has been created on a cloth dress form. It's a statement of glamour to the max!
Environmentally friendly, our made-by-hand trees use faux garland. This one features the leopard-print form embellished with white poinsettias, with gold and silver decor. To finish her off in style, we've added a golden bow at the waist.
This Christmas tree was commissioned by a customer who found us via our Pinterest board and asked us to make a dress form Christmas tree out of her favorite fabric - animal print. We have plenty of animal print left but the choice of decorations on the skirt will be different if you want this because those decorations were just for her. So, you get to choose what colors you want for the decorations.
We can modify the color scheme to match your own holiday decor. Just let us know what you want.
And it's a breeze to remove the decorations (leave the skirt intact) and decorate it seasonally or to store away after use!
The knob at the bottom of the dress form allows you to raise and lower it to whatever height you want. Its maximum height is 5'4."
*Note: The ribbon color may vary slightly in color and texture depending upon availability.
This requires a 3-week lead time.
Shipping: $50.00 (Please Note: Handmade trees include the form and decorations but the decorations will be removed and packed separately for shipping.)
Used Mannequins are excluded from Free Shipping

[John Martyn on On The Cobbles]
20 Apr 2004
He's been on the phone all day, everyone from The Guardian to the Manchester Evening News to the Basingstoke Echo has been speaking to him as his first tour since 2001 approaches. The 56-year-old musician tells it in his own way, how he 'copped a huge belt' off his guitar amplifier, thereby damaging a cyst at the back of his right knee. A serious infection subsequently set in. " My leg went -he gives a mock-dramatic shriek- "big and red and horrible." I said to the guy, 'listen, I think you'll have to amputate here.' He says, 'I think you might be right.'"

Wells Fargo Dominates Home Loans Business
Wells Fargo Dominates Home Loans Business
Wells Fargo & Co. is the largest U.S. mortgage lender, taking an unprecedented 28.8 percent share of all home loans nationwide last year, The Wall Street Journal reports. That's up from 11.2 percent in 2007.
"They are dominating the retail space because they are huge, and because there is so little competition from other big banks that have pulled back," Alan Rosenbaum, chief executive of GuardHill Financial Corp., a New York-based mortgage bank, told The Wall Street Journal.
Wells Fargo's home loan production topped $524 billion last year — a record for any one lender. What's more, that number is more than all of the next five lenders' home loan production combined, according to the publication Inside Mortgage Finance.
Wells Fargo has been aggressively approaching real estate brokers and developers to expand its home lending business, striking deals to become preferred lenders.
Wells' preferred-lender arrangements give it "first crack at a lot more loans," says Rosenbaum.

There is a battle for the soul and it begins in the mind.
She wrote with such vigor
erasing memories one word at a time.
Who knows how far she traveled
spanning many a moon.
Fate stood, a gleaming smile he wore
tossed into the sea,
she's no longer seen anymore.
Her sorrow, she saw the day of her death
shared unequivocally* with the world,
her standing last breath.

Historic homes go on the market on a daily basis — but when one like the Daniel Bliss Homestead in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, goes on the market, you sit up and pay attention.
Why? Because it was restored by the guy who pretty much wrote the book on preserving and restoring old homes, John T. Kirk.
This week's historical shelter is a historic colonial farmhouse with two-and-a-half stories. The main part of the home was built in 1750 and features details common in the era and area — including the Georgian, five-bay-wide, center-chimney structure.
Kirk restored the home in the 1970s, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
Kirk, whose book "The Impecunious House Restorer," is not only a how-to on buying an early American house and how to preserve it inexpensively and authentically by deliberately deciding what to leave as is and what to restore. It's also the story of how he rehabilitated the Bliss Homestead, which began with Daniel Bliss and a family that was later torn apart by the Revolutionary War.
"This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful piece of preserved Rehoboth history," listing agent Jennifer Mello of the Mello Group said. "The renowned and gifted restoration guru John T. Kirk restored this home's original features and documented his experience in his book."
In addition to the main house, the property also features a one-bedroom guest cottage with a restored 17th-century great room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and brick fireplace.
The main house has four large bedrooms, five fireplaces, and the original keeping room with its gorgeously restored feather edge paneled walls and beamed ceilings.
The kitchen was updated again in 2012 with slate floors and soapstone counters. The sunroom has cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and a wood stove to keep out the New England chill.
Outbuildings also include a three-car detached garage and a large horse barn.
It is listed by Jennifer Mello of the Mello Group for $575,000.

Doha, Qatar
The kid brother to Middle Eastern megalopolises Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Doha is rapidly catching up. It's getting its own share of starchitect attractions, such the cucumber-shaped Burj Doha by Jean Nouvel. At an outpost of New York's beloved Jazz at Lincoln Center, artistic director Wynton Marsalis brings in top talent from all over the world. The port is about a 15-minute drive from the city center, and a spiffy new cruise terminal is in the works.
What We Love
Al Zubarah Fort: Even as the new skyscrapers gleam, pieces of Qatari history remain intact. Built as a coast guard station in 1938, the fort is now a museum for traditional handicrafts such as Bedouin Al Sadu weaving, fishing boats, and gypsum and wooden ornaments.
Dune Bashing: If nothing else, this is a way to see the spectacular emptiness of the desert and get a glimpse of Bedouin life. But buckle up: Local drivers speedily maneuver 4x4s up, down, and around sand dunes, which can get the adrenaline pumping.
Best Known For
The Corniche: The city's spiritual center is the promenade that curves along the Persian Gulf. Join the locals out strolling for the evening or hop on a dhow cruise to take in the city's modern skyline.
The Museum of Islamic Art: Designed by I.M. Pei, the architecture is impressive, but so is the extensive collection that it houses, which spans three continents and 1,400 years of history.
Find a Cruise
Who It's Best For
Arts Lovers: Along with the museums and the jazz, there's also an edition of the Tribeca Film Festival here.
Shopaholics: There's everything from the traditional gold souk and Souk Waqif, with its spices and textiles, to the luxury boutiques of City Center Mall and the Italianate Villagio Mall.
Don't Say We Didn't Warn You
Summers Are Seriously Hot: There's a reason the residents hardly go outside before dark. Two words: the heat.
It Can Be Hard to Find a Beer: In deference to Islamic beliefs, most restaurants don't serve alcohol. Look for a drink in a hotel, or do as the locals do and socialize over "shisha" (a hookah pipe).
Ann Abel is a Brooklyn-based contributor to ShermansCruise who has also written for Departures.

Short Review: Rob Bell's "Love Wins.
By Michelle Amirault
a book about heaven, hell, and the fate of every person who ever lived"
What a wonderful concept Love winning actually is. Talk about hope for the hopeless. Any real thinking person has to admit they have wondered about some of the thoughts the author discusses. Rob Bell takes the courage to not only submit his thoughts, but to lay himself on the line of scrutiny to write about and discuss the kinds of things we all should be wondering and discussing. If God is love, why are there so many evils? Does Love really Win? Does God have His will and way in the end? What is hell? What is God's purpose in creation? Are all things restored to God? What do the words translated 'eternal' and 'forever' actually mean?
I feel Rob is doing a wonderful job here and being used of God to put these thoughts out on the table. I have also seen that ALL being restored to God is in clearly taught in the church's history as Rob plainly declares. What he discusses is more than a noble thing to bring to the forefront.
So why all the uproar?! Because the traditions of men, that including believing in a place of eternal torment, make the actual word of God of no effect; see for yourself Matt 15:6-9. Going against the majority, even if you are bringing people out of the dark ages, is not an easy task.
The last two chapters of the book not only invite you to have your own relationship with this wonderfully loving God, but he affirms it is your choice. Although, I believe God makes each of us thirsty for His kind of love, Rob expresses that having the choice is part of love and I concur with that. This book surely does that too. It gives you a choice to embrace the heart of what God says, or continue to believe what you want about Him and yourself. I like what our Father says more than what I think.
My brief summary in no way can make up for your reading this book yourself. And remember, when you enter the pearly gates, you will not be able to bring your pastor or Sunday school teacher along side to blame them for not knowing the truth. You need to find out the truth for yourself. He who the SON sets free (not some human teacher), is free indeed. Go learn of love and grow!
I suggest you give it a try. Michelle Amirault who believes truly indeed "love wins!"

An Indian drug company has launched what it claims is Asia's first vegetarian insulin.
The new insulin is derived from yeast, as opposed to pigs or cows, as most insulin in India is at present.
The company which has manufactured the drug, Wockhardt, says that this type of insulin will also avoid other viral infections such as BSE and CJD associated with insulin derived from animals.
Until now nearly 90% of the insulin available on the Indian market was derived from pigs or cows which are proscribed respectively in the Muslim and Hindu communities.
Wockhardt says it has launched the yeast-based insulin after 10 years of research.
Company chairman Habil Khorakiwala says: "This is a technology breakthrough not for Wockhardt but for India."
Insulin-dependent diabetes patients have to use the drug for life and for that reason a vegetarian variety is welcome in India, which has the world's largest population of diabetics.
Most insulin products currently on sale in India are manufactured by foreign multinational companies, but are assembled and packaged in the country.
This will be the first type of insulin to be manufactured inside India.
Wockhardt has priced a 10-centilitre bottle of the insulin at 130 rupees (nearly $3)
Other insulin products are available at between $5 and $8 a bottle.
But critics are concerned that once the patients are dependent on insulin the company might raise the price.
The World Health Organisation predicts that by 2025, the number of people suffering from the disease in India will rise from 30m to 57m.

The conservative talk radio show host has been released from the hospital after a health scare.
Honolulu, Hawaii (WiredPNews.com) – Rush Limbaugh has been released from a hospital in Hawaii, after a health scare. As reported by AFP, the conservative radio host, who suffered chest pains earlier in the week, left the hospital Friday and stated tests showed no issue with his heart.
Limbaugh is quoted by AFP as stating of the care he received and the current administration's plans for health reform, "I have been treated to the best health care the world has to offer — that is right here in the United States… I don't think there is one thing wrong with the American health care system it is working just fine, just dandy."
Limbaugh was reportedly vacationing in Hawaii when he entered the hospital.

The writer Arnold Bennett was so delighted with the egg, smoked haddock and parmesan concoction that chefs at the Savoy created for him, he insisted on it being made wherever he travelled. And at the Savoy, Omelette Arnold Bennett remains a standard dish to this day.
The recipe
For the fish, simmer 200g of smoked haddock in 250ml of milk, drain it and break it into large, juicy flakes. Use the milk left behind after cooking the haddock to make a white sauce with 40g of butter and 3 lightly heaped tbsp of flour [see footnote]. Fold in the flaked haddock and 3 tbsp of finely chopped curly parsley. Put 30g of butter into an omelette pan, warm it gently, then add 6 lightly beaten eggs. When the omelette is ready, add the sauce, scatter over a small handful of grated parmesan and grill until bubbling. Makes one very large, deep omelette, 30cm in diameter (it will serve 2 or 3), or two smaller ones.
The trick
Don't overcook the haddock, it probably needs less than 10 minutes. Make the haddock sauce before starting the omelette, so it remains nice and fluffy.
The twist
Stick with the classic interpretation unless you want the wrath of Arnold Bennett's ghost upon you, but a few tarragon or chervil leaves added to the sauce would be a possibility. I have always wanted to make this with flaked, cooked kippers or possibly with mussels, steamed and pulled from their shells.

• This correction was published on 8 January 2012:
For the avoidance of doubt, we should clarify that our recipe for Omelette Arnold Bennett (Magazine) requires three 15ml measuring spoons of flour – not three large tablespoons. It needs to be quite a thick sauce – but not that thick.

The Lee Family. Once upon a time Noel and Rena got married and had 2 kids - Doris and Donald. Then one day, Doris got married to Jeremy and had her own 2 kids - Vince and Edda. We all live far apart, and keep moving around. It's hard to keep tabs on each other. Welcome to our blog.

Ruby is deaf and almost blind. I went to an online dog age calculator which takes into account that she's a large breed dog and it said that she was 93 years old. She's still going up and down stairs, still eating well, pooping well and still giving lots of wags and licks.
I think after 10 years of watching the same 7 movies, Edda might be tiring of them. I'm trying to introduce new ones into the mix - it isn't an easy task. And now that I realize that she'll hang onto a video for a decade, I don't want to introduce any lame videos to her. This morning - an emphatic thumbs down to Beauty and the Beast (which is a shame because it's my favorite) and thumbs up to Cars. Lightning McQueen, we are on to you, just a decade after you came out.
I went to breakfast with my pal, Julide. Her daughter goes to the same camp as Edda. If you can't tell, today was the color wars day. Ingrid and her counselor were on the yellow team.
Our evening walk - I like to brush Ruby in the common area in our neighborhood. Jeremy thinks I'm littering. I think I'm giving birds materials to build their nests.

Sweet Ruby. You really could knit a new dog with all that fur. She is such a great dog.

Our next-door neighbor brushes his dog outside to give the birds nest material, too. Most of it stays on his lawn, but some of it travels.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii – 28 Sep, 2015 – Entrepreneur Elon Musk, founder of Telsa Motors and Solar City, together with celebrity physicist Stephen Hawking made headlines by digitally signing an open letter dedicated to mitigating the potential risks of autonomous weapons empowered by artificial intelligence. One of the AI experts who also signed the letter, computer scientist and AI developer Dennis Foster, believes it is already too late to prevent an autonomous weapons arms race, as well as sweeping deployment of AI in everyday life. The result, according to Foster, holds the potential for previously unimagined progress, but also global catastrophe.
"Undoubtedly, equipping weapons with independent reasoning will spawn an AI weapons arms race," Foster asserted. "Russia rolled out its Armata T-14 fully robot-capable battle tank in August, the first of a planned fleet of 2,400 such death machines. America has been developing robotic aircraft and ground weapons since the 1970s. It's not by accident that the first electronic thinking machines were designed and built specifically to wage war. Already, a mind boggling assortment of AI weapons are ready to deploy, from robotic land mines and self-guided gun turrets to autonomous death machines and killer satellites." Foster points out that Dr. Hawking has predicted the self-extinction of humanity within 100 years as a result of our innate warring instincts.
However, beyond expert systems and machine-engineered updates, new research in "deep learning" aims to make use of artificial neural networks, similar to the architecture of the human brain, Foster stated. "Such networks theoretically could process complicated concepts, such as how to eradicate disease, poverty, and famine, or reverse global climate change, more efficiently and accurately than any team or organization composed of humans alone."
Foster is the CEO of Mundus Institute, one of the world's largest organizations involved in AI research, development, and deployment. He gave several examples of how current AI research will benefit society: "Computers that design human DNA, create new organisms, diagnose and treat disease, perform surgery, and formulate new wonder drugs; autonomous machines that seed and plow fields, manage farms, and distribute produce to market; devices that monitor, analyze, and manage economies, preventing stock market crashes, currency inequities, and financial malpractice; teaching machines capable of transfering the sum of human knowledge to a learner in less time than it takes to download a Windows update; such machines are the stuff of science fiction. Yet, they could become integral to future civilizations."
Given the seeming inevitability, Foster is concerned about civilization becoming over-reliant on super computers. "Dwindling global resources and shrinking sustainability threaten to derail not only civilization, but also the quest for machines that reason. Ordinary planetary and astronomical influences are also serious perils to both existing and future integration of technology. Solar storms, magnetic field disturbances, rising oceans, and geological disturbances can disrupt and even extinguish the global power grid, instantly transforming every electrical device on earth into useless junk. The level of preparedness of nations and organizations for such catastrophes is at best a token effort."
"It's the not the rise of robots that we need to fear," according to Foster, "it's the vestige of the killer instinct still present in humans. As B. F. Skinner put it, the problem is not whether machines think, but whether humans do."

text: View Larger Image Wearable Technology at CES – Day One CES Day One – Wow! by Ann Arnold So I arrived in Las Vegas this morning to attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). What was I expecting? Well, I have been coming here for almost 25 years to the jewelry shows, so how different could this be? Well if we thought it was busy during jewelry week, you have no idea what busy means! The show takes place in several locations, so I started today at the Sands Convention Center. I was greeted by the new security procedures that were put in place – all bags are searched and no roller bags allowed. Then, as I continued down the hall, I was herded and yelled out to stay to the left and keep moving. Wow, what an introduction. But then I entered Hall C. It is amazing how different this hall looks when it is not a bunch of jewelry booths. I was greeted by such innovative, and grand showcases. Talk about overwhelming. This must be what someone coming to a jewelry show feels like for the first time. The section that I am concentrating on is produced by Living in Digital Times and houses many of the fitness, digital health and wearable tech companies that I wanted to check out. My adventure started with a cup of cappuccino, of course. But this was not ordinary cup of coffee. They first took my picture, and then a 3-D printer printed a picture of my face in the foam – HOW COOL! There is virtually everything here! From Robotic looking toys, to smart rubber duckies, how I ever raised a child without all these gadgets amazes me. I did find, however, a few interesting jewelry companies amongst all the wearable fitness gadgets, digital pianos and fitbits of the world. Here is a recap of a few that stuck out at me. GlamFit is actually a jewelry company. You may have heard of Liberty I Exchange – a fine jewelry line of bullion coins. They introduced some of their smart jewelry last year at the JCK show and will be there again this year. What struck me about this line is how much it actually looked like jewelry. So much of the "smart jewelry" out there all looks the same with basically non-existent design style. GlamFit has combined style with fitness. As all devices do, you download their app and then sync the device to your phone. You can track your activity, as well as your sleep. GlamFit uses Sterling Silver and combines it with genuine gem stones. This keystone line has a MSRP ranging from $120-$400. (firstname.lastname@example.com ; www.glamfitjewelry.com) The collection consists of a host of pendants and bracelets. This Black Onyx bracelet retails for $300. This starter set consists of a rubber bracelet that starts at $60, and then charms that can be added. Charms range from $20-$60.This starter set consists of a rubber bracelet that starts at $60, and then charms that can be added. Charms range from $20-$60. As you can imagine, there are so many "watches" here. I have to say, they all start looking the same. A few however, did stand out. I first checked out the Fossil showcase, how could I not. Their watches are activity trackers with interchangeable bands. They also had LED lights that you could customize the light colors, so that you can be notified when a call comes in. So if you are busy, and set your husband to green, you will see that he has called when the green light flashes. These watches have an MSRP between $175-$195. They even have a digital, touch screen version. All these watches sit on the pads you see. These are actually the charger for the phone! Another watch that caught my attention was MyKronoz. This Swiss watch company currently distributes their watches in over 40 countries and are now coming to the US. Besides the basic models, which quite honestly looked like all the others I saw, they also have a "Premier" collection. This style combines leather straps and Swarovski crystals, making a fashionable smart watch. You can not only tell time and track your activity, but also receive notifications, and on some models even make calls. The basic band on the left starts at $59 MSRP (looks like all that we see everywhere), but then they added a leather strap – the one in the middle which retails at $79, and then if you want to add the crystals the MSRP goes to $99. These all have removable straps as well. If you want the more of a "watch" look you can go for the ZWatch, which does not have removable straps. These have a retail up to $199. How do these fit into your store? This entire category – wearables – open up a whole new customer for you. The disposable income and discretionary dollars that are being spent at Best Buy, or on Amazon, could be redirected to your store. This gives you not only a way to capture new customers, but also a way to differentiate yourself in your market. Looking at the price points above, your typical watch buyer may get a nice new "toy", and your non watch buyers may start looking at you differently. These price points allow impulse purchases for your regular customers, and allow you to offer something different. As I was talking to some of the companies, they were mentioning that stores like Verizon are starting to approach them to carry jewelry in their markets. Are we going to allow all these outside industries take a piece of what we do? Let's embrace this for ourselves and take back some market share in the new crossover industry called wearable technology!

A few weeks ago, I picked up Charlie and Millie from summer camp and surprised them with lunch in town at our favorite burger place. Charlie loves a good cheeseburger and Millie could beat grown men in a french fry eating competition and also this made for one fewer meal I had to prepare at home so we were all pretty jazzed to be there.
This restaurant happens to be super small so when we entered, we headed straight to the counter to put in our order before finding a table. We found ourselves behind a young man placing a large takeout order. He was hot and sweaty and dirty and had obviously been working outside and appeared to be taking food to the rest of his crew.
After paying for our burgers and fries, I thought it best for the kids to wash up because who knows what they do at summer camp but it probably should come off of their hands before lunch so we headed to the bathroom. Upon returning to the little dining room, we were greeted by what could only be described as a mustard explosion. We stopped in our tracks and kind of did that cartoonish double-blink with our eyes. On one side of the restaurant, mustard was everywhere. On a couple of the tables, on the walls, the chairs, the floor. Bright, yellow mustard painted all over the place. And, all over the shirt and jeans and hands of the young man with the takeout order who we were behind in line when we arrived and who was obviously the point of origin for the mustard detonation.
In the short time we were in the bathroom, this customer's order had come up and he had obviously attempted to add some ketchup and mustard to the burgers in the bag before heading out the door. At this restaurant, both of those condiments are in big red and yellow plastic squeeze bottles. I don't know if the lid to the mustard wasn't on tight or maybe, since the restaurant had just opened for the day, the temperature change from the cold refrigerator storage and the super warm dining room caused some sort of volatile buildup in the bottle which led to the explosion? I'm not sure but my CSI splatter analysis suggests the latter. It must have been absolutely spectacular.
What was even more spectacular is that no one was helping the young man clean it all up. He had grabbed a couple of napkins and was futilely trying to wipe the mustard from his pants but he mostly just looked overwhelmed and embarrassed. Two of the six tables in the restaurant were occupied – one with parents and their teenage children and another larger family with a few adults and lots of young kids. It was, without a doubt, impossible to not notice what had happened which made it so surprising to me that no one was moving a muscle to assist. Everyone had witnessed it and then just… continued on. Like nothing had happened.
I assigned Charlie and Millie to an open table that wasn't dusted in mustard and went to help, interrupting the lady at the counter to ask for some paper towels and then returning to start wiping up the tables and the chairs and the floor while the young man looked at me and tried to explain that he had no idea what had just happened. I reassured him it was all okay and after several minutes, we had made some good progress. An employee eventually emerged to help. We all worked together a little bit longer and had most of it wiped up in short order. When we went to throw the mustard-covered paper towels in the garbage, the young man looked at me, smiled, and said, "I'm going to smell like mustard all day now." I laughed and offered to hold the door open for him as he left with his tray of drinks and paper bag filled with burgers and fries and most likely, too much mustard.
Then, our order came up and the kids and I devoured our food, talked about how crazy that mustard thing was, and left in search of ice cream.
So much going on in this world right now makes me feel completely and utterly helpless. Not hopeless. I haven't lost hope. But, it feels like there isn't enough helping going on anymore. I think that's what brings me the greatest despair. The lack of genuine compassion for one another. Sometimes, it feels like no one has the space or the patience to just be kind.
I can donate my time and I can donate my money and I can speak passionately and I can listen empathetically and I can educate myself and I can advocate for others and I can rearrange our entire November vacation to be home in time to vote at our local precinct in the mid-term elections because I'm a little leery of absentee voting and it just seems better to be there on that day to vote in person, right?
I can do all of those things. And, I can show my children how to be helpers. How to put yourself in someone else's shoes. How to imagine a situation – a life – that is different than their own. How to see a need and then fill it. How to clean up mustard with sub-par, non-absorbent, eco-friendly paper towels.
In the tiniest, seemingly inconsequential of ways and in the biggest, most significant of ways, helping others, compassion for others, kindness for others, matters.

Scientists discover protein that helps trigger allergic asthma
Scientists have discovered a blood clotting protein they believe contributes towards allergic asthma.
The findings, published in the journal Science, could help develop more targeted treatments in the future.
Allergic asthma is often marked by the symptoms of difficulty breathing in, wheezing and coughing, and can be trigged by different factors in the environment such as dust, mould or animals.
Researchers investigated allergic reactions in mice. They looked at how a protein, called fibrinogen, is broken down by elements found within mould. The researchers found that in addition to causing blood clotting, fibrogen also causes clotting that creates a barrier to breathing and inflammation, triggering allergic asthma.
The results found that the protein is part of a protective biological chain of events in some people, but not others.
The researchers suggest that medication which can prevent the breakdown of the protein could help in the future to prevent allergic asthma.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas' mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas began operations in November 1965, with the opening of the West Dallas Boys Club.
In 1990, the Boys Club added "Girls" to its title and an aggressive effort to serve both girls and boys was initiated. Today, Clubs are open to all boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 18, regardless of race, religion or national origin. Our local Clubs serve a membership base of more than 6,000 youth annually, providing programs based on physical, emotional, cultural and social needs, and the interests of boys and girls. Clubs offer diverse program activities in three areas: Academic Success, Good Character & Citizenship and Healthy Lifestyles. These services are offered through a network of center based, professionally staffed, small group and one-on-one teachable moments and classes. Programs implemented enhance character and self-esteem, are educational and fun and ultimately contribute to youth realizing their maximum potential.
A Boys & Girls Club Provides:
- A safe place to learn and grow
- Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals
- Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences
- Hope and opportunity

China is changing rapidly and further medical reforms are underway.
Rapid economic development in China has promoted medical reform. In China, with 1.2 billion people, the scale of hospitals is extraordinary. Konica Minolta image equipment for digital medical care has been introduced to many foundation hospitals with the latest facilities in major cities and has significantly contributed to the progress in medical services. We interviewed Peking Union Medical College Hospital, one of the organizations to whom we introduced our equipment and reported the latest circumstances of Chinese medical care.
(Report partner: Beijing Intech Housun Corporation)
Patient-Driven Cutting-Edge System Capable of Better Treatment
China is a country of 1.2 billion and 65 million people with a land area about 26 times larger than Japan. In October 2005, the National Bureau of Statistics of China announced that the rate of growth in the gross domestic product (GDP) from July to September in 2005 was 9.4% compared with the same period a year earlier. The phenomenal economic growth exceeded 9% for the 9th consecutive quarter and drew a lot of attention from all over the world. Trying to catch up with the dramatically developing economy, the government embarked on medical reforms with improvement of medical service as one of the most important policies, promoting disease prevention/countermeasure system establishment and emergency/treatment system development and reinforcement.
A premise of Chinese medical circumstances is that hospitals are ranked. There are three levels (3, 2, 1) and sublevels (A, B, C), and the highest rank is 3A. Hospitals ranked as Level 3A meet specific medical environment standards and are located in 800 places across the country under the direct jurisdiction of the Chinese Ministry of Health (equivalent to Japanese Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry) and the municipal Health Office. Hospitals ranked as Level 2 are under the direct jurisdiction of the lower section of the city or province class, and hospitals ranked as Level 1 are the town hospitals. The Peking Union Medical College Hospital (hereinafter referred to as the PUMC Hospital) we interviewed is ranked as 3A, the highest level.
The current administrative category representing jurisdiction over hospitals is classified as province level, prefecture level, county level, and township level. The province level is the first-class administrative area positioned just under the nation, for example, 23 provinces (including Taiwan), 5 autonomous areas (such as Nei Mongol and Tibet), 4 direct control areas (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and the special administrative areas of Hong Kong and Macau. Each administrative area is subdivided into the prefecture level, county level, and township level in that order, but the names vary.
The medical insurance system is also very different between Japan and China. Personal medical costs were small until the 1980s in a system of complete welfare; however, the later medical reforms in 1998 introduced different systems depending on the occupation and place of residence, increasing the ratio of personal medical costs. It should be noted that although personal medical costs increased, expectations and demand for "better treatment in a better hospital" has been increasing. For example, at present, hospitals with a certain scale employs a system where the photos and career experience of enrolled doctors are posted in the lobby so that visiting patients can select whom to consult.
Ranking of physicians is an important element in the selection. Doctors in China are classified into entry-level, middle-level, sub-high-level, and formal high-level depending on the level of skills (refer to the table on the right).
About the Ranking of Physicians in China
Entry-Level Physician
Those who passed the national unified exam (occupational medical licensing exam) one year after graduating from school.
Middle-Level Physician
Those who passed the national health middle-class technical exam after working as an entry-level physician for five years.
Sub-High-Level Doctor
Those who passed the thesis exam and high-level physician exam after working as a middle-level physician for five years and were officially promoted after the probationary period required by the Health Office and senior organizations.
Formal High-Level Physician
Those who were officially promoted after working as a sub-high-level physician for five years.

4 bathroom cleaning hacks
January 5, 2018
Article originally sourced from jg-tc.com
"Everyone likes a clean bathroom, but no one likes cleaning the bathroom. These bathroom cleaning hacks will help you save some serious elbow grease, while leaving your shower, sink, and commode sparkling.
1) Tackle Gross Grout
You don't need to painstakingly scrub grout with baking soda, vinegar, and a toothbrush when it gets stained. Simply coat it with a Clorox bleach pen, let it sit for several hours, then wash it away for bright white grout.
2) Wash Away Shower Curtain Grime
If you've been cleaning your shower curtain liner by hand, or tossing it and buying a new liner each time it builds up gunk, you need this hack in your life. Next time the liner builds up grime, toss it in the washing machine on cold, then hang it up and let it dry.
3) Fizz Away Clogged Drains
Alka-Seltzer isn't just the miracle product that got you through all those mornings after college parties. It also does double duty as a bathroom cleaner. Clear your clogged drain by dropping a tablet or two of Alka-Seltzer down, pouring in vinegar, waiting a few minutes, then rinsing with water. Clean your toilet bowl by dropping in a couple of tablets, allowing them to fizz, then running a wand around the bowl.
4) Get Rid of Hard Water Deposits
Your shower head can build up crusty hard water deposits over time, which reduce pressure (and don't look great either). Clear them out by filling a plastic bag with white, distilled vinegar and placing it around your shower head using a rubber band."

Words are important. More than 300 human rights organizations and anti-trafficking advocates from 40 nations sent an open letter asking the Associated Press to avoid terminology that legitimizes prostitution as a form of work. Many groups with whom we work (like Coalition Against Trafficking in Women) are trying to end the use of the term "sex work" because it conceals the violent and exploitative nature of the commercial sex trade. They asked the editor of the AP Stylebook to adopt alternative vocabulary that reflects the life realities of individuals bought and sold in prostitution. Studies and testimony of survivors demonstrate that the sex industry is predicated on dehumanization, degradation, and gender violence that cause life-long physical and psychological harm. Between 65 and 96 percent of people in prostitution have been sexually assaulted as children; 60 to 75 percent have been raped by pimps and sex purchasers; and between 70 and 95 percent have been physically assaulted in prostitution. One survivor said "prostitution is not 'sex' and it is not 'work' – it is a harmful practice steeped in gender and economic inequalities that leaves a devastating impact on the survivors." It also renders invisible the traffickers, pimps, and brothel owners, and the buyers who prey on vulnerable people.
Given the world situations right now, this may bring you some hope.

We love sports, and we really love food, so it only makes sense that we desperately search out the greatest places to thoroughly enjoy both. Our favorite sports bars don't just provide us with hundreds of high-definition flat screen televisions and great drink specials; they also offer food you'd be happy to eat even if the TVs were off. Thankfully, you don't have to choose between the game or the meal. We've picked out the sports bars that offer you the best of both worlds, so you can enjoy both equally.
2933 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale; 954-525-2010; quarterdeckrestaurants.com.
Our Pick: Lobster Dinner, $14.95 with the purchase of a beverage every Tuesday and Thursday.
There are certain parts of the United States where even if someone tells you the lobster dinner at your local sports bar is great, you take a hard pass in the name of caution. South Florida is not one of those locations. Quarterdeck is serving up surf 'n' turf throughout their menu, but the Lobster Dinner special they have available twice a week is
Some cities do french fries or pizza well, but in South
Frankey's Sports Bar
Building 1720, 900 Silks Run, Hallandale Beach; 954-464-2333; frankeysbar.com.
Our Pick: Tacos — Beef, Organic Chicken, or Fish, $12.
Flanigan's Seafood Bar & Grill
2041 NE Second St., Deerfield Beach; 954-427-9304; flanigans.net.
Our Pick: Prime Rib, $17.99 (Served after 4 p.m.).
Flanigan's is known for its food; there's no debate there. While some sports bars might be about drinks or the size and number of televisions, Flanigan's is a food-first place. Most think of chicken wings or ribs when they think of Flanny's, but for our money the prime rib is the secret sauce. The 12-oz.
Bru's Room
1000 N. University Dr., Coral Springs; 954-656-8041; brusroom.com.
Our Pick: Triple-Threat Chicken Wings, $11.99 for ten wings.
If you're trying to stand out in the world of bar food, chances are you're going to need to fry alligator nuggets or put some Man vs.
Bokamper's Sports Bar and Grill
1280 S. Pine Island Rd., Plantation; 954-533-7152; visit bokampers.com.
Our Pick: Smokehouse Ribs, $16.99 full rack ($9.99 Wednesdays).
Former Miami Dolphins defensive end and Bokamper's Sports Bar owner Kim Bokamper just looks like a guy you can trust with your ribs. He's big, he's burly, and he has the appearance of a man who has stared at a smoker for hours on end perfecting his rib recipe. We aren't sure if this is true, but however he came up with his award-winning Smokehouse Ribs, we aren't complaining. Bokamper's might offer the best menu of all the sports bars in the area from a sheer selection standpoint, but the Smokehouse Ribs are definitely the go-to pick.
Duffy's Sports Grill
4800 W. Hillsboro Blvd., Coconut Creek; 954-422-9789; duffysmvp.com.
Our Pick: The Hangover Burger, $12.49.
Duffy's Sports Grill takes a special interest in putting together an amazing not-your-average-sports-bar-menu. It recently even opened a new test kitchen in Lake Worth in a state-of-the-art studio that will expand their research and development and culinary training departments. That's cool and all, but to be totally honest, what they are doing now is pretty great, especially the tried-and-true Hangover Burger. This half-pound burger is made up of a farm-fresh sunnyside-up egg, pepper-crusted bacon, two slices of American cheese, and all the usual veggies. It's simple, yet effective; trust us — we've tested it out time and time again.
It's pretty
Funky Buddha Brewery
1201 NE 38th St., Oakland Park; 954-440-0046; funkybuddhabrewery.com.
Our Pick: 1201 Burger, $11.95 (suggested pairing: Hop Gun).
It wasn't too long ago that Funky Buddha couldn't possibly be included on any list that praised food simply because they hadn't moved into the culinary space yet. Those days now seem like forever ago, because since Funky Buddha opened their Craft Food Counter & Kitchen back in November of last year, they have had their foot firmly inserted in best bar food discussions.
As with everything Funky Buddha does, their food is outside-of-the-box, fantastically done. Our personal favorite, however, is a very inside-the-box dish: a cheeseburger with a Funky spin on it. The 1201 Burger is a special signature meat blend, a "3Sum sauce," lettuce, tomato, and pickled onion all topped with a gooey Manchego cheese. Take them up on the option to add a fried egg and bacon to this glorious take on traditional bar food, and what you have is a masterpiece.
Tucker Duke's Lunchbox
1101 S. Powerline Rd., Deerfield Beach; 954-708-2035; tuckerdukes.com.
Our Pick: The Tucker Duke, $10 ($5 Tuesdays).
What Tucker Duke's Lunchbox lacks in size and number of televisions, it more than makes up for in quality of food. Tucker Duke's menu is the sort of reading material you hold onto after you ordered just to figure out what you are going to order next time, or better yet,
The first thing that sticks out about it is that right there on the menu, they state there will be zero changes to this order, and trust us, they aren't joking. The Tucker Duke burger comes stacked high (like, crazy high) with fried onions rings, American cheese, Tucker sauce, lettuce, and tomato. That's it. That's how you'll eat it, and that's how you'll like it. Trust us — you'll like it.

American Social
721 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale; 954-764-7005; americansocialbar.com.
Our Pick: Chicken and Waffles, $14.
Everything about American Social almost makes you forget you're technically in a sports bar: the decor, the clientele, the location (Las Olas Boulevard), and, most importantly, the food. Their menu definitely has nothing in common with your run-of-the-mill dive sports bar. You just don't expect to find items like rock shrimp flatbreads, lobster grilled cheese, steak paninis, and meat and cheese boards at most sports bars. American Social has all that plus our personal favorite, their notoriously sexy
These herb vanilla waffles come topped with southern-fried chicken, cherries, bourbon mascarpone, and a sugary maple syrup sauce. Now that you've read that, you can get in your car and go stuff that thing in your face. It's waiting for you.

Oh My Goodness!!!Well, suffice to say, the title of my post expresses quite well how I'm feeling on the eve of my 24th birthday............
24!!!!! Where have the years gone??
Gone are the carefree days of my youth, check out what I did today:
- Woke up early and went to the doctor regarding pain in my fingers which I sustained at work.
- Went to the physio to shed some light on the matter. He told me he would need to see me tomorrow also. "But it's my birthday tomorrow!!!" I said. He told me that they would have a cake for me.
- I met up with Holly after that and we discussed our friend Roxanne's upcoming wedding, and also Holly's almost five year old son's antics.
- I then shopped for a present for Natasha who will be leaving for a trip around Europe in 2 weeks.
- I came home and had lunch (to save some money).
- I washed my clothes.
I don't know if any of this is interesting, but I guess 'boring' goes hand in hand with being 'old'. That's how I'm feeling at the moment, old and boring. Whoever thought I'd be trying to get worker's compensation??
I hope I haven't depressed anybody.
Jack Handy Thought For The Day: I remember how the other kids used to say that old Mister Swenson was the meanest man in town. But I said I thought he was nice, that he just didn't know how to show it. The meanest man in town, I said, was the mean old guy who lived in the big white house. "THAT'S MISTER SWENSON," they said. Oh, my mistake.

Pearl Harbor Ship Becomes New Dive Site in BVI
Billionaire Richard Branson has partnered with organizations Unite BVI, ARK and Beneath the Waves to develop the YoKo BVIArt Reef on the Kodiak Queen (YO-44), a former Navy fuel barge.
The old ship that survived attacks during Pearl Harbor is now being transformed into an artificial reef and fantasy adventure dive site in an "art meets world history meets ocean conservation" project.
"This reef will allow people to experience the wonder of the ocean and its species up close, while having the time of their lives. That way, what they will learn with stay with them and affect them deeply and hopefully turn into more action to conserve the ocean," said Branson, owner of Necker Island in the BVI and founder of the Virgin Group.
The highlight of the art installation will be a giant Kraken sculpture that will be wrapped around the boat. After the art is installed, the team behind the project will monitor the marine health of the area. Not only will this initiative provide a sunken art gallery and help rehabilitate heavily over-fished marine populations in ways that boost the BVI economy, the project will also be saving the decorated World War II ship from being scrapped for metal. The YoKo BVIArt Reef is set to open in mid-April.

Tech Tip:
This week's tech tip is not so much a tip but rather a report. Earlier this week all students grades 7-12 at Goodhue Schools took a survey about their own personal computer use, what they have access to at home, and their attitudes toward school (click here if you would like to see a copy of the survey questions). The survey produced some interesting results that should help us to make informed decisions regarding technology policy, purchases, and instruction. Please take a moment to look over these results. Did you find any of these results surprising? Does knowing this information change anything about what we expect of students or what we can or should do?

Hair Loss Treatment In Bhubaneswar For Men Possible With Wide Variations
For the restoration of hair on the scalp, men are quite worried. If you are having the problem of hair loss, it would be an advantage to know that hair treatment clinic in Bhubaneswar is offering wide number of options. There are different ways in which the scalp can look full of hair as in the youthful days. Since this is a big concern for lots of men nowadays, they look out for ways to get the right and best type of hair treatment in Bhubaneswar. It also helps that such treatments are being carried out by the top rated dermatological and cosmetic surgeons in the city. But, before the specific type of treatment is started, it is important for people to know that proper assessment is necessary to get the optimum results.
- Assessing the suitability for hair loss treatment for men needs to be the best for successful implantation
If you are looking for successful hair treatment in Bhubaneswar, you need to visit the Radiance Clinic in the city and go for consultation with the trained doctors and support staff. During such consultation, the need for hair transplant is assessed. This is done because everyone with balding patches might not require transplant. Otherwise, they may not be suitable candidates for the procedures. This can happen if there is lack of healthy hair at the donor site or there are incumbent infections in the transplant site. If these are the cases, men would not be recommended to go for transplant. Also, necessary treatments are provided by the dermatologists to get rid of the problems. Graft sites also determine the number of hairs and the type of transplant procedures which are to be carried out. All these factors can be properly taken into account if the patients present for an initial check up and assessment, thereby establishing the success rate.
- Different modalities in hair transplant available with our clinic for optimum results for our patients
To help men get rid of their baldness problem, transplantation of hair may be a bright option. After ensuring that a person is the right candidate for such procedures, few sittings are recommended, which again depends on the type of transplantation. There are actually punch grafting, micro grafts, slit grafts, mini-grafts and strip grafts. All of these features are able to pick hairs in varying numbers from donor sites and put these on to the recipient site. While each has its own advantages, the presently preferred modality is the FUE technique. In follicular unit extraction method, single strands are picked up along with the roots and implanted in the donor sites. This is highly effective method for hair loss treatment for men with very little chance of failure. Even though it is time taking, many hundreds of hairs can be put down at the recipient site in one sitting. So, depending on the type of treatment required by you, we will provide the hair loss treatment in Bhubaneswar, which can also be influenced by the suitability of the receptor sites.
At Radiance Clinic, it has been possible to provide the best facilities to our patients because we undertake a thorough assessment of the patients. Depending on their requirements and the suitability, the hair treatment in Bhubaneswar is provided. This not only amounts to best hair loss treatment for people but also makes our hair treatment clinic in Bhubaneswar the best among the best in the country.
