A new plan for training motivated San Francisco high school students to become The City's next generation of police officers, firefighters and nurses could be a big win-win. We already know many public safety vacancies will be opening up soon.
Right now, 358 San Francisco police officers could retire with maximum benefits, and 661 will be eligible within five years. Firefighters now eligible for maximum retirement benefits total 168, with 348 who could do it within five years.
These vital jobs must be kept filled — preferably with recruits who have strong connections to The City and would actually live in San Francisco during their careers. Community policing, which has shown early success, is particularly dependent on officers with an in-depth understanding of their neighborhood beats.
Today, only one-fourth of San Francisco's 2,308 police officers and barely one-third of the 1,408 firefighters live in The City. The majority of our emergency first responders are scattered from Sonoma to Santa Cruz. More San Francisco police officers actually live on the Peninsula (30 percent) than in The City.
Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi has introduced legislation to establish "public service academy" classes in the school district. The hope is to improve the dismal public safety job recruitment rate among San Francisco residents — less than 20 percent for police. The San Francisco Unified School District has long had successful programs preparing students for private sector jobs.
To be available for the 2011-12 school year, the public safety career program needs to go to the Board of Supervisors by June 30. The Police, Sheriff's, Fire and Health departments must coordinate plans with the mayor's work force development director and SFUSD. Requirements include paid internships, open enrollment, graduation credits and tuition assistance for post-secondary training.
Despite the harsh deficits looming over City Hall and SFUSD, backers say this is the right time to pass such a program because so many responder jobs will open up. Board of Education President Jane Kim said the training will "ensure that there are local jobs available for our students when they graduate."
The Examiner is optimistic about the potential of "public service academies" while also skeptical about its goal of hiring more police and firefighters living in The City. Even recruits who grew up in San Francisco will be strongly tempted to move to the suburbs once they have comparatively well-paid jobs and want more house for their families.
However, the related goals of filling impending police/fire retirement vacancies and helping city high school graduates get good careers are valuable enough to make the program worth trying. Of course, in tight-budget times like this, any final decision depends on how much money the training would cost and where that money would come from.

Roxana senior shortstop Chance Foss recently announced he will continue his baseball career at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville.
Foss has been a 3-sport standout for the Shells, playing quarterback for the football team, point guard for the boys' basketball squad and shortstop for the baseball program.
Last season Foss led Roxana with a .364 batting average. He also belted one homer and drove in 16 runs, while scoring a team-high 24 runs. His 16 stolen bases were also a team-best.
The Shells were 12-15 in 2015 and bowed out in a first-round regional contest, but finished third in the rugged South Central Conference.
Roxana opens the 2016 season at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at crosstown rival East Alton-Wood River.
After completing his senior campaign, Foss will join a SWIC program that went 30-18 and reached 26th in the national rankings. He will play for head coach Neil Fiala, who is entering his 23rd season as the head coach at SWIC. He was 817-445 with the Blue Storm entering the '16 season.

Diseases & Treatment------
A rare disease, also referred to as an orphan disease, is any disease that affects a s
mall percentage of the population.
Most rare diseases are genetic, and thus are present throughout the person's entire life, even if symptoms do not immediately appear. Many rare diseases appear early in life,
and about 30 percent of children with rare diseases will die before reaching their fifth birthday.[1] With a single diagnosed patient only, ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency is presently considered the rarest genetic disease.
No single cutoff number has been agreed upon for which a disease is considered rare. A disease may be considered rare in one part of the world, or in a particular group of
people, but still be common in another.
There is no single, widely accepted definition for rare diseases. Some definitions rely solely
on the number of people living with a disease, and other definitions include other factors,
such as the existence of adequate treatments or the severity of the disease.
In the United States, the Rare Disease Act of 2002 defines rare disease strictly
according to prevalence, specifically "any disease or condition that affects less than 200,000 persons in the United States,"[2] or about 1 in 1,500 people. This definition is essentially like that of the Orphan Drug Act of 1983, a federal law that was written to encourage research into rare diseases and possible cures.
In Japan, the legal definition of a rare disease is one that affects fewer than 50,000
patients in Japan, or about 1 in 2,500 people.[3]
However, the European Commission on Public Health defines rare diseases as "life-threatening or chronically debilitating diseases which are of such low prevalence that
special combined efforts are needed to address them."[4] The term low prevalence is
later defined as generally meaning fewer than 1 in 2,000 people. Diseases that are statistically rare, but not also life-threatening, chronically debilitating, or inadequately treated, are excluded from their definition.
The definitions used in the medical literature and by national health plans are similarly divided, with definitions ranging from 1/1,000 to 1/200,000.[3]
Relationship to orphan diseases
Because of definitions that include reference to treatment availability, a lack of resources, and severity of the disease, some people[who?] prefer the term orphan disease and use
it as a synonym for rare disease.[3] The orphan drug movement was begun in the United States.[3]
Others distinguish between the two terms. For example, the European Organization for Rare Diseases (EURORDIS) lumps both rare diseases and neglected diseases into a
larger category of orphan diseases.[5]
The United States' Orphan Drug Act includes both rare diseases and any non-rare
diseases "for which there is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing and making available in the United States a drug for such disease or condition will [be] recovered from sales in the United States of such drug" as orphan diseases.[6]
Prevalence (number of people living with a disease at a given moment), rather than incidence (number of new diagnoses in a given year), is used to describe the impact
of rare diseases. The Global Genes Project estimates there are some 350 million people worldwide currently affected with a rare disease.
The European Organization for Rare Diseases (EURORDIS) estimates that there exist between 5,000 and 7,000 distinct rare diseases. Although each individual disease is rare, the sheer number of individual rare diseases results in between 6% and 8% of the population of the European Union being affected by a rare disease.[5]
Rare diseases can vary in prevalence between populations, so a disease that is rare in
some populations may be common in others. This is especially true of genetic diseases and infectious diseases. An example is cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease: it is rare in most parts of Asia but relatively common in Europe and in populations of European descent. In smaller communities, the founder effect can result in a disease that is very rare worldwide being prevalent within the smaller community. Many infectious diseases are prevalent in a given geographic area but rare everywhere else. Other diseases, such as many rare forms of cancer, have no apparent pattern of distribution but are simply rare. The classification
of other conditions depends in part on the population being studied: All forms of cancer in children are generally considered rare, because so few children develop cancer, but the same cancer in adults may be more common.
About 40 rare diseases have a far higher prevalence in Finland; these are known collectively as the Finnish disease heritage.
Rare diseases usually are genetic,[7] hence chronic. EURORDIS estimates that at least 80% of them have identified genetic origins.[8] Other rare diseases are the result of infections and allergies or due to degenerative and proliferative causes.
Classification of a disease's rarity also depends on the population being studied. Every
form of cancer is rare among children,[9] but some forms are common among adults.
Symptoms of some rare diseases may appear at birth or in childhood, whereas others
only appear once adulthood is reached.
Research publications emphasize rare diseases that are chronic or incurable, although many short-term medical conditions are also rare diseases.[10]
The National Organization for Rare Disorders was established in 1983 by individuals and families with rare diseases.[11][12] The NIH's Office of Rare Diseases was established by H.R. 4013 in 2002.[13] H.R. 4014, signed the same day, refers to the "Rare Diseases Orphan Product Development Act".[14] Similar initiatives have been proposed in Europe.[15] Genetic Alliance, established in 1986, lists information and support groups for approximately 1200 rare diseases.[16] The Global Genes Project, started by the Children's Rare Disease Network, is creating greater public awareness, supporting the millions of families affected by rare disease through an online community & collaborative portal and other tools, and are funding innovations to support rare disease research.
The Canadian Organization for Rare Disorders (CORD) is the national network of organizations who represent people affected by rare disorders within Canada. CORD's intention is to provide a strong common voice advocating for a healthcare system and
health policy for those with rare disorders.[17]
The first Rare Disease Day was held in Europe and Canada in February 2008 to raise awareness for rare diseases.[18][19] It is intended to be observed on the last day of February every year.[20]
Patients with Rare Diseases in Greece are represented by the Greek Alliance of Rare Diseases .
A disease is an abnormal condition affecting the body of an organism. It is often
construed to be a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs.[1][2]
It may be caused by external factors, such as infectious disease, or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions, such as autoimmune diseases. In humans, "disease" is often used
more broadly to refer to any condition that causes pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, and/or death to the person afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact
with the person. In this broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable categories. Diseases usually affect people not only physically,
but also emotionally, as contracting and living with many diseases can alter one's perspective on life, and their personality.
Death due to disease is called death by natural causes. There are four main types of disease: pathogenic disease, deficiency disease, hereditary disease, and physiological disease.
In many cases, the terms disease, disorder, morbidity and illness are used interchangeably.[3] In some situations, specific terms are considered preferable.
The term disease broadly refers to any condition that impairs normal function. Commonly, this term is used to refer specifically to infectious diseases, which are clinically evident diseases that result from the presence of pathogenic microbial agents, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular organisms, and aberrant proteins known as prions. An infection that does not and will not produce clinically evident impairment of normal functioning, such as the presence of the normal bacteria and yeasts in the gut, is not considered a disease; by contrast, an infection that is asymptomatic during its incubation period, but expected to produce symptoms later, is usually considered a disease. Non-infectious diseases are all other diseases, including most forms of cancer, heart disease, and genetic disease.
Illness and sickness are generally used as synonyms for disease.[4] However, this term is occasionally used to refer specifically to the patient's personal experience of their disease.[5][6] In this model, it is possible for a person to be diseased without being ill (to have an objectively definable, but asymptomatic, medical condition), and to be ill without being diseased (such as when a person perceives a normal experience as a medical condition,
or medicalizes a non-disease situation in his or her life). Illness is often not due to infection but a collection of evolved responses, sickness behavior, by the body which aids the clearing of infection. Such aspects of illness can include lethargy, depression, anorexia, sleepiness, hyperalgesia, and inability to concentrate.[7][8][9]
In medicine, a disorder is a functional abnormality or disturbance.[10] Medical disorders can be categorized into mental disorders, physical disorders, genetic disorders, emotional and behavioral disorders, and functional disorders.
The term disorder is often considered more value-neutral and less stigmatizing than the terms disease or illness, and therefore is preferred terminology in some circumstances.
In mental health, the term mental disorder is used as a way of acknowledging the complex interaction of biological, social, and psychological factors in psychiatric conditions. However, the term disorder is also used in many other areas of medicine, primarily to identify physical disorders that are not caused by infectious organisms, such as metabolic disorders.
Medical condition
A medical condition is a broad term that includes all diseases and disorders, but can also include injuries and normal health situations, such as pregnancy, that might affect a person's health, benefit from medical assistance, or have implications for medical treatments. While the term medical condition generally includes mental illnesses, in some contexts the term
is used specifically to denote any illness, injury, or disease except for mental illnesses. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the widely used psychiatric manual that defines all mental disorders, uses the term general medical condition to refer to all diseases, illnesses, and injuries except for mental disorders.[11] This usage is also commonly seen in the psychiatric literature. Some health insurance policies also define a medical condition as any illness, injury, or disease except for psychiatric illnesses.[12]
As it is more value-neutral than terms like disease, the term medical condition is sometimes preferred by people with health issues that they do not consider to be deleterious, such as pregnancy. On the other hand, by emphasizing the medical nature
of the condition, this term is sometimes rejected, such as by proponents of the
The term medical condition is used as a synonym for medical state, where it describes a patient's current state, as seen from a medical standpoint. This usage is seen in statements that describe a patient as being "in critical condition", for example.
Morbidity (from Latin morbidus, meaning "sick, unhealthy") is a diseased state, disability, or poor health due to any cause.[13] The term may be used to refer to the existence of any form of disease, or to the degree that the health condition affects the patient. Among severely ill patients, the level of morbidity is often measured by ICU scoring systems.
Comorbidity is the simultaneous presence of two medical conditions, such as a person
with schizophrenia and substance abuse.
In epidemiology and actuarial science, the term morbidity rate can refer to either the incidence rate, or the prevalence of a disease or medical condition. This measure of sickness is contrasted with the mortality rate of a condition, which is the proportion of people dying during a given time interval.
In an infectious disease, the incubation period is the time between infection and the appearance of symptoms. The latency period is the time between infection and the ability
of the disease to spread to another person, which may precede, follow, or be simultaneous with the appearance of symptoms. Some viruses also exhibit a dormant phase, called viral latency, in which the virus hides in the body in an inactive state. For example, varicella zoster virus causes chickenpox in the acute phase; after recovery from chickenpox, the virus may remain dormant in nerve cells for many years, and later cause herpes zoster (shingles).
A cure is the end of a medical condition or a treatment that is very likely to end it, while remission refers to the disappearance, possibly temporarily, of symptoms. Complete remission is the best possible outcome for incurable diseases.
A flare-up can refer to either the recurrence of symptoms or an onset of more severe symptoms.
A refractory disease is a disease that resists treatment, especially an individual case that resists treatment more than is normal for the specific disease in question.
Progressive disease is a disease whose typical natural course is the worsening of the disease until death, serious debility, or organ failure occurs. Slowly progressive diseases
are also chronic diseases; many are also degenerative diseases. The opposite of progressive disease is stable disease or static disease: a medical condition that exists,
but does not get better or worse.
A localized disease is one that affects only one part of the body, such as athlete's foot or
an eye infection.
A disseminated disease has spread to other parts; with cancer, this is usually called metastatic disease.
A systemic disease is a disease that affects the entire body, such as influenza or high blood pressure.
Causes and transmissibility: Transmission (medicine)
Only some diseases such as influenza are contagious and commonly believed to be infectious. The micro-organisms that cause these diseases are known as pathogens and include varieties of bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi. Infectious diseases can be transmitted, e.g. by hand-to-mouth contact with infectious material on surfaces, by bites of insects or other carriers of the disease, and from contaminated water or food (often via faecal contamination), etc. In addition, there are sexually transmitted diseases. In some cases, micro-organisms that are not readily spread from person to person play a role,
while other diseases can be prevented or ameliorated with appropriate nutrition or other lifestyle changes.
Some diseases, such as most (but not all) forms of cancer, heart disease and mental disorders, are non-infectious diseases. Many non-infectious diseases have a partly or completely genetic basis (see genetic disorder) and may thus be transmitted from one generation to another.
Social determinants of health are the social conditions in which people live which
determine their health. Illnesses are generally related to social, economic, political, and environmental circumstances. Social determinants of health have been recognized by several health organizations such as the Public Health Agency of Canada and the World Health Organization to greatly influence collective and personal well-being.
When the cause of a disease is poorly understood, societies tend to mythologize the
disease or use it as a metaphor or symbol of whatever that culture considers to be evil.
For example, until the bacterial cause of tuberculosis was discovered in 1882, experts variously ascribed the disease to heredity, a sedentary lifestyle, depressed mood, and overindulgence in sex, rich food, or alcohol—all the social ills of the time.[14]
Burdens of disease
Disease burden is the impact of a health problem in an area measured by financial cost, mortality, morbidity, or other indicators.
There are several measures used to quantify the burden imposed by diseases on people. The years of potential life lost (YPLL) is a simple estimate of the number of years that a person's life was shortened due to a disease. For example, if a person dies at the age
of 65 from a disease, and would probably have lived until age 80 without that disease,
then that disease has caused a loss of 15 years of potential life. YPLL measurements
do not account for how disabled a person is before dying, so the measurement treats a person who dies suddenly and a person who died at the same age after decades of illness as equivalent. In 2004, the World Health Organization calculated that 932 million years
of potential life were lost to premature death.[15]
The quality-adjusted life year (QALY) and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) metrics
are similar, but take into account whether the person was healthy after diagnosis. In addition to the number of years lost due to premature death, these measurements add
part of the years lost to being sick. Unlike YPLL, these measurements show the burden imposed on people who are very sick, but who live a normal lifespan. A disease that has high morbidity, but low mortality, will have a high DALY and a low YPLL. In 2004, the World Health Organization calculated that 1.5 billion disability-adjusted life years were
lost to disease and injury.[15]
Percent of all YPLLs lost, worldwide[15]
Percent of all DALYs lost, worldwide[15]
Percent of all YPLLs lost, Europe[15]
Percent of all DALYs lost, Europe[15]
Percent of all YPLLs lost, US and Canada[15]
Percent of all DALYs lost, US and Canada[15]
Infectious and parasitic diseases, especially lower respiratory tract infections, diarrhea, AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria
Injuries, especially motor vehicle accidents
Cardiovascular diseases, principally heart attacks and stroke
Premature birth and other perinatal deaths
Social significance of disease
Obesity was a status symbol in Renaissance culture: "The Tuscan General Alessandro del Borro", attributed to Andrea Sacchi, 1645.[16] It is now generally regarded as a disease.
How society responds to disease is the subject of medical sociology.
A condition may be considered to be a disease in some cultures or eras but not in others. For example, obesity can represent wealth and abundance, and is a status symbol in famine-prone areas and some places hard-hit by HIV/AIDS.[17] Epilepsy is considered a sign of spiritual gifts among the Hmong people.[18]
Sickness confers the social legitimization of certain benefits, such as illness benefits, work avoidance, and being looked after by others. The person who is sick takes on a social
role called the sick role. A person who responds to a dreaded disease, such as cancer,
in a culturally acceptable fashion may be publicly and privately honored with higher social status.[19] In return for these benefits, the sick person is obligated to seek treatment and work to become well once more. As a comparison, consider pregnancy, which is not usually interpreted as a disease or sickness, even if the mother and baby may both benefit from medical care.
Most religions grant exceptions from religious duties to people who are sick. For example, one whose life would be endangered by fasting on Yom Kippur or during Ramadan is exempted from the requirement, or even forbidden from participating. People who are sick are also exempted from social duties. For example, ill health is the only socially acceptable reason for an American to refuse an invitation to the White House.[20]
The identification of a condition as a disease, rather than as simply a variation of human structure or function, can have significant social or economic implications. The contro-versial recognitions as diseases of post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as
"Soldier's heart", "shell shock", and "combat fatigue;" repetitive motion injury or repetitive stress injury (RSI); and Gulf War syndrome has had a number of positive and negative effects on the financial and other responsibilities of governments, corporations and institutions towards individuals, as well as on the individuals themselves. The social implication of viewing aging as a disease could be profound, though this classification is
not yet widespread. Lepers were a group of afflicted individuals who were historically shunned and the term "leper" still evokes social stigma. Fear of disease can still be a widespread social phenomenon, though not all diseases evoke extreme social stigma.
Social standing and economic status affect health. Diseases of poverty are diseases that
are associated with poverty and low social status; diseases of affluence are diseases that are associated with high social and economic status. Which diseases are associated with which states varies according to time, place, and technology. Some diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, may be associated with both poverty (poor food choices) and affluence (long lifespans and sedentary lifestyles), through different mechanisms. The term
diseases of civilization describes diseases that are more common among older people.
For example, cancer is far more common in societies in which most members live until
they reach the age of 80 than in societies in which most members die before they reach
the age of 50.
There are several severe or unbearable diseases such as ondine's curse, trigeminal neuralgia, Lou Gehrig's, Huntington's or Ebola, which have led to people asking why
God would allow that. This philosophy is called the problem of evil.[21]
Language of disease
An illness narrative is a way of organizing a medical experience into a coherent story
that illustrates the experience.
People use metaphors to make sense of their experiences with disease. The metaphors move disease from an objective thing that exists to an affective experience. The most popular metaphors draw on military concepts: Disease is an enemy that must be feared, fought, battled, and routed. The patient or the physician is a warrior, rather than a
passive victim or bystander. The agents of communicable diseases are invaders; non-communicable diseases constitute internal insurrection. Because the threat is urgent, perhaps a matter of life and death, unthinkably radical, even oppressive, measures are society's and the patient's moral duty as they courageously mobilize to struggle against destruction. The War on Cancer is an example.[22]
Another class of metaphors describes the experience of illness as a journey: The person travels to or from a place of disease, and changes himself, discovers new information, or increases his experience along the way. He may travel "on the road to recovery" or make changes to "get on the right track".[22] Some are explicitly immigration-themed: the
patient has been exiled from the home territory of health to the land of the ill, changing identity and relationships in the process.[23]
Some metaphors are disease-specific. Slavery is a common metaphor for addictions:
The alcoholic is enslaved by drink, and the smoker is captive to nicotine. Some cancer patients treat the loss of their hair from chemotherapy as a metonymy or metaphor for all the losses caused by the disease.[22]
Some diseases are used as metaphors for social ills: "Cancer" is a common description for anything that is endemic and destructive in society, such as poverty, injustice, or racism. AIDS was seen as a divine judgment for moral decadence, and only by purging itself from the "pollution" of the "invader" could society become healthy again.[22] Authors in the 19th century commonly used tuberculosis as a symbol and a metaphor for transcendence. Victims of the disease were portrayed in literature as having risen above daily life to become ephemeral objects of spiritual or artistic achievement. In the 20th century, the
same disease became the emblem of poverty, squalor, and other social problems.[23]
Epidemiology: Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of the factors that cause or encourage diseases. Some diseases are more common in certain geographic areas, among people with certain genetic or socioeconomic characteristics, or at different times of the year.
Epidemiology is considered a cornerstone methodology of public health research, and is highly regarded in evidence-based medicine for identifying risk factors for disease. In the study of communicable and non-communicable diseases, the work of epidemiologists ranges from outbreak investigation to study design, data collection and analysis including
the development of statistical models to test hypotheses and the documentation of results for submission to peer-reviewed journals. Epidemiologists also study the interaction of diseases in a population, a condition known as a syndemic. Epidemiologists rely on a number of other scientific disciplines such as biology (to better understand disease processes), biostatistics (the current raw information available), Geographic Information Science (to store data and map disease patterns) and social science disciplines (to better understand proximate and distal risk factors).
In studying diseases, epidemiology faces the challenge of defining them. Especially for poorly understood diseases, different groups might use significantly different definitions. Without an agreed-upon definition, different researchers will find very different numbers
of cases and characteristics of the disease.[24]
Prevention: Preventive medicine
Many diseases and disorders can be prevented through a variety of means. These include sanitation, proper nutrition, adequate exercise, vaccinations, and other self-care and public health measures.
Treatments: Therapy
Medical therapies or treatments are efforts to cure or improve a disease or other health problem. In the medical field, therapy is synonymous with the word "treatment". Among psychologists, the term may refer specifically to psychotherapy or "talk therapy".
Common treatments include medications, surgery, medical devices, and self-care. Treatments may be provided by an organized health care system, or informally, by the patient or family members.
A prevention or preventive therapy is a way to avoid an injury, sickness, or disease in the first place. A treatment or cure is applied after a medical problem has already started. A treatment attempts to improve or remove a problem, but treatments may not produce permanent cures, especially in chronic diseases. Cures are a subset of treatments that reverse diseases completely or end medical problems permanently. Many diseases that cannot be completely cured are still treatable.Pain management (also called pain medicine) is that branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach to the relief of pain and improvement in the quality of life of those living with pain[25]
Treatment for medical emergencies must be provided promptly, often through an
emergency department or, in less critical situations, through an urgent care facility.

Therapy or treatment, is the attempted remediation of a health problem, usually following adiagnosis. In the medical field, it is synonymous with the word "treatment". Among psychologists, the term may refer specifically to psychotherapy or "talk therapy".
Preventive therapy or prophylactic therapy is a treatment that is intended to prevent a medical condition from occurring. For example, many vaccines prevent infectious diseases. An abortive therapy is a treatment that is intended to stop a medical condition from progressing any further. A medication taken at the earliest signs of a disease, such as at the very symptoms of a migraine headache, is an abortive therapy.
A supportive therapy is one that does not treat or improve the underlying condition, but instead increases the patient's comfort.[1] Supportive treatment may be used in palliative care.
Overtreatment is treatment that is unnecessary or disproportionate to the situation. For example, the treatment of a condition that causes no symptoms and will go away on its own
is overtreatment. Similarly, extensive treatment for a condition that could be remedied with
very limited treatment is overtreatment. Overtreatment may be caused by overdiagnosis, the identification of harmless abnormalities.
Adverse effects: Adverse drug reaction and Adverse effect
In addition to (or in place of) the intended therapeutic effect of a treatment, a therapist may cause undesired (adverse) effects as well. When an adverse effect is weaker than the therapeutic effect, one commonly speaks of a "side effect".
An adverse effect may result from an unsuitable or incorrect dosage or procedure (which could be due to medical error). Some adverse effects occur only when starting,
increasing or discontinuing a treatment. Using a drug or other medical intervention which is contraindicated may increase the risk of adverse effects. Patients sometimes quit a therapy because of its adverse effects. The severity of adverse effects ranges from
nausea to death. Common adverse effects include alteration inbody weight, change in enzyme levels, loss of function, or pathological change detected at the microscopic, macroscopic or physiological level.
Adverse effects may cause a reversible or irreversible change, including an increase or decrease in the susceptibility of the individual to other chemicals, foods, or procedures (e.g. drug interaction).
Difference between preventions, treatments, and cures
A prevention or preventive measure is a way to avoid an injury, sickness, or disease in
the first place, and generally it will not help someone who is already ill (though there are exceptions). For instance, many babies in developed countries are given a polio vaccination soon after they are born, which prevents them from contracting polio. But the vaccination does not work on patients who already have polio. A treatment or cure is applied after a medical problem has already started.
A treatment treats a problem, and may lead to its cure, but treatments often ameliorate
a problem only for as long as the treatment is continued, especially in chronic diseases. For example, there is no cure for AIDS, but treatments are available to slow down the harm done by HIV and delay the fatality of the disease. Treatments don't always work. For example, chemotherapy is a treatment for some types of cancer. In some cases, chemotherapy may cause a cure, but not in all cases for all cancers. When nothing can be done to stop or improve a medical condition, beyond efforts to make the patient more comfortable, the condition is said to beuntreatable. Some untreatable conditions naturally resolve on their own; others do not.
Cures are a subset of treatments that reverse illnesses completely or end medical problems permanently. Many diseases that cannot be cured are still treatable.

Airlines cancel flights to Bali on volcano ash
Jakarta, January 27, 2011
Several airlines cancelled flights to Indonesia's top tourist destination island of Bali on Thursday because of volcano ash, an Indonesian government spokesman said.
Mount Bromo, on eastern Java island and one of dozens of active volcanoes in the archipelago, started erupting in November. Ash from Mount Merapi, also on Java, disrupted flights in November.
"Several airlines decided to divert their flights or return to base in connection with ash spewing from Mount Bromo," said Bambang Ervan, spokesman for the Indonesian transport ministry.
Ervan said Air France-KLM , Cathay Pacific , Jetstar, ValueAir, and Virgin Blue had cancelled or diverted flights, with the ash cloud at 18,000 feet and the wind direction southeast.
Yuli Sadoso, an official at Bali airport, said about 1,300 passengers had been hit by the cancellations.
A British Airways flight came close to crashing nearly three decades ago after its engines sucked in ash from another Indonesian volcano, Mount Galunggung, on Java. – Reuters

We recommend you contact a rescue group in your area to see who they recommend based on experience, and pricing.
Some cities, like Lincoln, also have funding available to help with spay or neuters to those who qualify financially. Call your local animal control facility or humane society to see if such services are offered in your area.
At most clinics a spay or neuter depends on if the animal is a dog or cat, and often the size of the animal. It is generally very cost effective to call multiple vets to compare prices, and in general smaller clinics or those in smaller towns offer better prices, sometimes half the price of clinics with multiple vets in larger cities.
If you opt to get your pet fixed at a vet clinic, other ways you can save money are to:

"John the Eunuch is one of the most entertaining of the historical mystery series being written today."
--Rob Preece
Read the whole review at BooksForABuck.com.
"The authors never seem content simply to present a dilemma
and then give us a resolution. They weave and interweave
their plot, sub-plots and counter-plots. They ensure that
we are subtly, yet consistently immersed in the times.
Occasionally humorous, sometimes metaphysical but never
boring, the Reed/Mayer books are a must read for those
interested in historical mysteries and particularly with the
history of this era."
--Ilysa Magnus
From Historical Novels Review, published by the Historical Novel Society.
"Reed and Mayer have created a fascinating series that gives us insight
into both a time period and a lifestyle that most of us know nothing
about. John is a witty detective who has the ability to move seamlessly
between the levels of society that rule the lives of all in this time and,
lacking all of the modern aides to detection that we take for granted, has
to use all the deductive talents he can muster to find a killer against
almost impossible odds. This series is a delight for anyone who enjoys
both history and a hero who has to use only his own skills to solve the

Bentley can be a bit shy at first; however after a while he will become your new best friend! Bentley is friends with all animals, including other dogs, cats, chickens, cows, and horses. He is best friends with his new older brother Brady, and likes to follow him everywhere! Bentley also likes the company of human friends, and enjoys affection and attention!

The nonlinear kinetic model of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration in supernova remnants (SNRs) is used to describe the properties of the remnant of SN 1006. It is shown, that the theory fits the existing data in a satisfactory way within a set of parameters which is consistent with the idea that SN 1006 is a typical source of Galactic CR nucleons, although not necessarily of CR electrons. The adjusted parameters are those that are not very well determined by present theory or not directly amenable to astronomical observations. The calculated expansion law and the radio-, X-ray and γ-ray emissions produced by the accelerated CRs in SN 1006 agree quite well with the observations. A rather large interior magnetic field μG is required to give a good fit for the radio and X-ray synchrotron emission. In the predicted TeV γ-ray flux from SN 1006, the -decay γ-rays, generated by the nuclear CR component, dominate over the inverse Compton (IC) γ-rays, generated by the CR electrons in the cosmic microwave background. The predicted source morphology in high energy γ-rays roughly corresponds to that of the synchrotron emission. The predicted integral γ-ray flux extends up to energies ~100 TeV if CR diffusion is as strong as the Bohm limit. Only if the interior magnetic field is much lower in the SNR, μG, then the observed γ-ray emission can be due to the accelerated electron component alone. In this case, not plausible physically in our view, the lowest permissible value of the electron to proton ratio is rather high, and the maximum individual energy and total energy content of accelerated nucleons so small, that SN 1006 can not be considered as a typical source of the nuclear Galactic CRs.
Key words: ISM: cosmic rays / acceleration of particles / stars: supernovae: individual: SN 1006 / radio continuum: ISM / X-rays: ISM / gamma rays: theory

Well, a Japanese company known as the Kimura Metal Industrial Corporation thinks that it may have just the 'board to overcome people's aversion to these products in the form of the waterproof eMARK Super Mobile Keyboard, whose vinyl coating should ward off even the nastiest coffee spills. Ranging in height from just one millimeter to five millimeters at its thickest point, the eMARK SMK features a retractable USB cable and comes in your choice of black or white. Again, we'll take a folding Bluetooth 'board over one of these models any day of the week, but if you're looking to get your roll on, you can pick one of these up later this month --in Japan, at least -- for the bargain basement price of only 2,980 yen (about $26).

Hey everyone! We are here today with Elizabeth Briggs, author of the Future Shock series. Future Threat, the second book, is out next week and we caught up with Elizabeth to chat about what we can expect and a little about her writing process!
Elena starts off in a pretty hopeless place in Future Shock. After the events in the first book, where is she at the beginning of Future Threat?
At the beginning of Future Threat, Elena is trying to move on with her life and have a relationship with her boyfriend Adam. Her life should be perfect, but she can't get over what she went through in Future Shock and is haunted by the lives she couldn't save. Plus, a strange black car keeps following her around, and she knows Aether Corporation isn't done with her yet.
The covers of both books are so gorgeous. What was the process like to arrive at the covers?
Thanks! Before Future Shock came out, my publisher asked me what I wanted on my covers and I gave them a few ideas. One of the main things we all agreed on was that if there was a girl on the cover she had to be Latina. They ended up working with a photographer and a model, so each book in the series uses a different picture from that photo shoot. They also made sure the tattoos and the background accurately matched the books. For Future Threat I specifically asked for Elena to have a new origami unicorn tattoo and that she be overlooking a futuristic Los Angeles with the sunset behind her. I think they did an amazing job and now I can't wait to see the cover of book 3!
What was your research process like for time travel?
I didn't actually research time travel all that much, but I did spend a lot of time researching PTSD, anxiety, and panic attacks, so that I could get into Elena's head in this book. I also researched flying cars and other futuristic technology to make the future they visit even more advanced than the one they visited in Future Shock.
How was writing Future Threat different than writing Future Shock?
Writing the middle book in a series is challenging because you have to make sure the characters have grown since the first book, but also leave room for them to change in the third book as well. Also, I tried to make all three books in the series stand alone, so that each one has its own mystery that is solved at the end of the book while also leaving a few hints for the next book.
If you could time travel, where would you go and what would you do?
This is actually the question that inspired me to write Future Shock! Like Elena, I would want to go into the future to see what happened to myself and to the world. But I would also be terrified of finding out something bad—and then wondering if I could change it…or if it was inevitable.
Future Threat

Six months ago Aether Corporation sent Elena, Adam, and three other recruits on a trip to the future where they brought back secret information--but not everyone made it back to the present alive. Now Elena's dealing with her survivor's guilt and trying to make her relationship with Adam work. All she knows for sure is that she's done with time travel and Aether Corporation.
But Aether's not done with her--or Adam, or fellow survivor Chris. The travelers on Aether's latest mission to the future have gone missing, and Elena and her friends are drafted into the rescue effort. They arrive in a future that's amazingly advanced, thanks to Aether Corporation's reverse-engineered technology. The mission has deadly consequences, though, and they return to the future to try to alter the course of events.
But the future is different yet again. Now every trip through time reveals new complications, and more lives lost--or never born. Elena and Adam must risk everything--including their relationship--to save their friends.
The second book in the New York Times bestselling Future Shock trilogy.

A Ratten! Adventure.
From the adventure intro:
"Secrets are like greens - their roots lie in the depth and dark. Even the ratlair was build on long forgotten secrets, which lurk in the shadows. And he who digs those roots risks to collapse what did grow out of them."

Hi everyone,
As i said, im back again, pretty soon huh :D?
The baby-boy album is actually ready, today i will send it to the beneficiaries. My sister, who ordered this album, decided that the parents will put the titles, so i except 1 single LO where the title just popped-up, none of the pages has a title. Also, this page is a double one, made according to the sketch posted in the current challenge back at Sketchy Thursdays, my favourite challenge blog ;). Again, the baby decided to play hide&seek with you, hope you will join him :).
Here is the double one:
And here are the composing elements in detail:
And here is the sketch:
If i had more pictures with the baby and if the order was not limited to 10 pages, i would have continued working on it. I will miss working on it and im already looking forward to the next baby scrap-album. I loved working on this album. I never before finished 5 LOs in one day, so that´s a record for me. I hope the parents will love the album as much as i loved working on it.
Until next page i will post here, i wish you all the BEST!!!

Day 2 of the road trip and I got up early to go for a run. I followed the sea south from Huskisson to Vincentia and back. It was beautiful to be out running with the sun rising over Jervis Bay and spotting rozella's, parrots and kookaburras in the trees.
After a quick breakfast we headed straight down to Pebbly Beach to try and spot the kangaroos that live there. Unfortunately they'd all had their breakfast and disappeared for a sleep by the time we arrived. We dipped our toes in the water, but it was FREEZING so we didn't end up having a swim.
After the beach we continued south to Narooma. We pulled in to have a break from driving and to check out the Tourist Information centre. Just behind the visitor centre there was a dog show with a sausage sizzle taking place. The BBQ was being run by the local fire brigade.
After the RSL the night before we were on a roll with the Top Aussie experiences for Andrew, so I sent him straight towards the BBQ (not that much convincing was required). I was a bit disappointed they gave him a proper bread roll instead of the usual piece of bread. However, it was still Top Aussie.
A short drive from Narooma are the villages of Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba (so good they named it three times). Gold rush towns from the nineteenth century their high streets have been preserved / restored to their original condition to create a bit of a time warp. Full of touristy shops it was an interesting place to wander round.
We spotted a home that belonged to Sea Captain Elliot, that is now a sweet shop. We had lunch at the Rose and Sparrow Café. The surly owner didn't give a friendly welcome, but the food was decent and the taster of the chocolate brownie we had was great.
After the Tilba's we pushed onto to our overnight stop of Eden. We were staying at Snug Cove B&B and hit the jackpot! Not the cheapest B&B you'll stay at. However, all the rooms were wonderfully appointed with great attention to detail and nice little extras. The welcome was friendly and what great views of Two Fold Bay...
Unfortunately Eden's din

- The event will be held on Jan.25 and the main festival from Feb.02~Feb.04.

2018 is the 20th anniversary of the Tamnaguk Ipchun Gut Festival. The pre-event will be held on Jan. 25 and the main festival will be from Feb. 02 to Feb.04.
Ipchun Gut is the customary gut (Shamanistic ritual) performed around the Jeju Mokgwana area in order to announce the beginning of spring and pray for a bumper crop year.
Ipchun means the first day of the spring. In Jeju, Ipchun has the double meaning of the start of spring and also the start of the new year.
|▲ The festival will be held at Jeju Gwandeokjeong. Photo courtesy Jeju City Hall
Being the hometown of 18,000 gods, Jeju has a special period called Singugan. This period runs from five days after the day of the Great Cold and three days before Ipchun.
People from Jeju believe the gods on earth go back to heaven during this period. In order to welcome the gods back, shamans hold the Ipchun Gut festival at the end of the Singuan period.
This year's Ipchun Gut Festival will be the time where the traditional and the modern, as well as the people and the gods, will all be together. During the pre-event, people from each village will make nangswe (sacred wooden cows) and traditional lanterns.
The Ipchun Gut will then be performed as the main event. At the festival , here will also be other events like food stands, citizen hands-on programs, and Ipchun markets. The Tamnaguk Ipchun Gut Festival will be a meaningful culture festival for anyone who wants to experience the traditional Jeju.
Date: Feb. 2~Feb. 4, 2018
Location: 19, Gwandeok-ro, Jeju-si (Gwangdeokjeong area)

Let's get cool in the pool
As my last post may suggest, I've been listening to a bit of High Places this week. The bonus has been that every time the end of Canary plays out, my iTunes here at work slips right into Cool in the Pool by Holger Czukay. It's become a much welcome treat in all it's oddball glory, with squeaky voices, rolling grooves and comedy Balearic twanging all adding to the appeal. Although, in this hot weather, it does highlight the need for a pool to get cool in - a scarce resource in central London unless you're a millionaire. Oh well, there's always London Fields Lido.
Download: Holger Czukay - Cool in the Pool
Download the rest of the album Movies from emusic. Believe me, it's worth it.

I don't know I prefer the natural landscapes, you know some place where the water run in a natural way, the song of the birds can be heared no matter the distance, a place where the grass grow as it want.

Phones have become a large part of our lives. We use our phones for nearly everything. Today we use it browse the internet, send messages, talk to people, access social media, take pictures, and listen to music and many more. Every new phone brings something new to the table. They are even made to various requirements such as screen sizes, thickness and strength. There have been many changes since phones were first introduced. We are basically holding small computers with our hands that are very powerful with multiple uses.
Alexander Graham Bell the father of the telephone first introduced to us the concept of talking to one another from great distances without any delay. These telephones or landlines become a common household item and every house had them. There were connected with wires therefore it cannot be moved as much. Its portability depended upon the length and movement of the wire. There was a gap in the market for mobile phones that were wireless. People rarely stayed at home and they wanted a phone to carry around with them. Then came the pager which was useful but it only gave a message to the user to call back a specific number.
The first mobile phones could only make calls and they were huge. It was like carrying a brick. Further they only lasted a few hours on its battery. Soon after, the ability to text was introduced on phones. The phone has a small black and white strip that would show the number or message typed. This was the time when popular smartphone manufacturers such as Motorola and Nokia existed.
As demanded for mobile phones increased manufacturers were able to make them smaller with bigger screens. The battery life improved too and many features that were on land phones such as telephone conference call and call waiting were introduced to mobile phones. Phones were able to access the internet too.
Soon after the phones stared getting colour screens and there were many features such as better games, video viewing and accessing the internet started becoming widespread. Even office phones evolved offering IP office phone system that used the internet and faster calling. As more and more features such as camera and computer like usage started showing up, manufacturers started making smartphones. The first smartphones were slow and had battery life but today smartphones are the most used mobile phones.
Smartphones have become very popular and manufacturers are investing millions to bring new features to smartphones. Most smartphones today can do nearly 80% of what a computer can do. Further with many apps becoming available to smartphones people prefer carrying just their smartphones with them rather than carrying laptops. Phones have evolved so much from where they were. The future will bring us even more surprises on the smartphone front.

I received some pretzels in a hamper for Christmas. While I don't hate pretzels, they are not something I turn to if I have the munchies.
Not wanting to waste the pretzels, I decided to make cookies with pretzels in. The Momofuku Milk Bar Compost Cookies had too many steps for me on a week night, so I instead searched for a simpler recipe, and landed on this one for Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies. I got 16 cookies rather than 10 using a small icecream scoop as the size guide.

Well, today is my birthday! The BIG 4—OH!!! Do I feel any different? Nope! I guess age is just a number after all. Anyway happy birthday to me…..
If you are Forty or there about this story will remind you of the good old days :)
Do you recall your younger days before the Internet, when MP3's and DVD's were not invented yet?
Pac-Man, Pong and Donkey Kong were games you liked to play. "Who shot J.R.?" and "Where's the beef?" were questions of the day.
Cellular phones the size of bricks helped some communicate. Actresses with fitness tapes helped chunky folks lose weight.
Designer jeans and mullets were considered cool and sporty. If you remember all these things….
You must be turning FORTY!!!!
Have a great day!
:) Phil

STARSTRUCK #5 Is Out Now!
STARSTRUCK, the illustrated Sci-Fi masterpiece where Riot Grrls take over the galaxy, has new pages on FACEBOOK!
> STARSTRUCK official website
We all know that the '80s renaissance of comix included WATCHMEN, DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, AMERICAN FLAGG, MIRACLEMAN, and LOVE & ROCKETS.
But easily as bold, much more ambitious, and far more funny was STARSTRUCK. Yet the acclaimed series by Elaine Lee and Michael Kaluta was criminally overlooked. And let's face it... it's because it starred kickass funny women instead of terse aggro men. Now it has returned in monthly issues with expanded art and stunning color.
Time to catch up to the better revolution and support STARSTRUCK today!
