People always ask us how we keep the tanks in the shop so clean! Here's a few tools
and techniques we use to ensure tanks are always maintained to perfection.
- The first and what we believe to be the most important is understanding the
dietary requirements of your fish in the aquarium. The stomach's of your fish have
evolved to cope with certain foods they would eat in nature. By recreating this
natural diet in the aquarium the fish will use the food to convert into energy
rather than being unused and turned into waste. A few examples here would be
satisfying the vegetarian needs of livebearing fish. Within the shop we mainly feed
JBL Premium Spirulina. This contains 40% spirulina which is one of the highest
content of any vegetable/ algae based food. Also it's very important if you have
fish in the aquarium which are scavenger,s to supplement their diet using meat based
foods because in nature they would feeds mainly on small crustaceans and fish. Here
in the shop we use JBL Novo Tabs which conatin 80% animal protein, with a total of
43% protein and 8% fat it makes it the perfect meal for scavenging Catfish and
- The second is again food related. This time its the variety of foods offered to
your fish. Fish can be fussy eaters and using the same flake foods day in day out
can get awfully boring. This is why we try to ensure each meal our fish recieve is
different to the last! A brilliant way to add variety into the diet of your fish is
using frozen foods. These are cheap, natrually harvested, can be used to bring fish
into spawning condition and a lot of them would be what fish would eat in nature. A
few brilliant one's we'd use here are Krill, Bloodworm, Daphnia and Garlic Enriched
Brine Shrimp.
- A little one now, which can make a huge difference if you struggle with algae in
the aquarium. Generally when perorming aquarium maintainance removing algae from the
glass will be done after removing the water for a water change. This means all of
those algae spores you have removed from the glass will still be within the
aquarium. Once refilled, they can settle and start growing again. It is therefore
always beneficial to remove all algae from the aquarium before performing the
waterchange, this means when water is removed, your're always removing all those
algae spores! What do we use to remove algae in the shop ? JBL Blanki, this is a
simple product which uses stainless steel to remove algae. This elimates dangerous
blades meaning its brilliant to get children involved in cleaning the aquarium. It
will remove even the most stubborn of algae with a quick scrub and even makes quick
work of calcium deposits (limescale) which is a huge problem with our highly
alkaline Bristol water.
- Gravel cleaner. A very simple piece of equipment which makes a huge impact on the
cleanliness of your aquarium. All tanks in the shop are Gravel cleaned once a week.
This is using a simple vaccum type tool which lifts gravel from the base of the
aquarium and spins it around to lift out any waste that has built up. A build up of
waste on the base of the tank can be very dangerous to the the delicate whiskers of
aquarium favourite, Corydoras Catfish. If you've ever had problems with snail
infestations, this waste build up could be a huge contributing factor. Excess waste
and foods provide a constant food source for pest snails enabling them to thrive.
Remove this food for them and they will soon start depleting in numbers. If you've
never used one, give it a try, you may be shocked at what is hidden underneath all
of that gravel!
- A long length of hose. This may not apply to smaller aquariums, but those with
large aquariums at home will know what a nuisance it can be carrying buckets back
and forth when doing water changes. Here we use a gravel cleaner attatched to a long
length of garden hose which goes directly out to the drain. This means you can
remove 100's of litres of water without lifting a finger! When disposing of old
water, remember this is normally high in both Nitrate and Phosphate which means it's
brilliant for watering house and garden plants! When removing water, sometimes you
may remove more water than you wish before cleaning all of the gravel. This is where
a simple inline tap to the hose comes in. You can adjust the flow of water being
removed meaning you can remove more dirt and less water! When refilling the aquarium
its always important that the water you replace is of a similar temperature to that
in the aquarium and free of chlorine, chloramine and heavy metals. Here all water is
prepared the day before. Its treated using Fluval aqua plus water conditioner. This
has a very high concentration meaning its much cheaper to use in larger aquariums
than other brands. It also gives the water plenty of time to come to ambient room
temerature meaning it won't effect the overall temperature in the tank during a
partial water change.
- Keeping the glass of the clean. It's not just important to remove algae from the
inside of the aquarium but also cleaning the outside of the aquarium too! This makes
a huge difference in viewing the aquarium, there is nothing worse than watching an
aquarium and being distracted by drip marks or limescale. Now here, you can't just
use household glass cleaners. These are very poisonous to fish and are best kept
well away! Here we use and Recommend JBL Clean A. This is non-hazardous to both fish
and plants and removes stubborn limescale and water marks.
- Water clarity isn't a measure of the water quality: The water clarity in the
aquarium may be crystal clear but that doesnt mean there isn't a hidden pollutant
building up or fluctuation in water chemistry that is unseen. This is where water
testing is very important! We recommend testing water atleast once a week to keep an
eye on these unseen levels. There are many ways of testing water but a simple quick
test we'd use is JBL Proscan to monitor both customers and our water. This contains
24 test strips to measure Nitrate, Nitrite, General Hardness, Carbonate Hardness,
PH, Chlorine and CO2. Dip the analysis strip into the water, place onto colour
chart, wait 60 seconds and scan the analysis strip into your smartphone using the
free Proscan app. Once scanned the results of the test will be displayed on screen.
Simple to use and no chance of human error. The app will then offer recommendations
if anything is not quite right. Ease of use and super quick, this really is the
future in water testing!
- External filter pipes: These pipes are ideal conditions for the settlment of both
dirt and algae. This build up within the pipe can reduce the flow of your canister
by up to 40%. Performance loss of an external filter can be dangerous to the water
quality. A simple tool you can use to keep the pipes clean is JBL Cleany. This is a
steel helix fitted with brushes to clean pipework of up to 30mm in diameter. If done
every time you clean the filter, your external will always be running at its maximum
flow rate!
- Aquarium log book: This is something every aquarium owner should have.This will be
a record of previous water changes, filter cleans, water testing results and
introduction of fish. Keeping record of everything aquarium related means if there
is ever an issue, you can look back to try and determine where something may have
gone wrong. Now everyone has good intentions when it comes to aquarium maintainance,
but hectic busy lifestyles mean sometimes the aquarium may be left weeks without the
attention needed. Keeping a log of previous water changes and filter cleans means
you always know when maintainance is needed to ensure the aquarium doesnt go into
disrepair. It only takes a few missed water changes for a build up of harmful
Nitrates and algae promoting Phosphate to take hold! Here you can also add reminders
of when filter media may need replacing. Carbon will need replacing routinely. Once
it has absorbed all it can, it becomes ineffective against the removal of impurities
so it's important to replace every 6-8 weeks in most filters. Keeping a record of
fish in the aquarium is not only useful to yourself but also for the retailer you're
purchsing fish from. If you can provide the exact fish housed in you're aquarium the
retailer can select fish which be be perfect in terms of their compatabilty. Its
very difficult to base recommendations not knowing what the fish are going to be
housed with.

All I Need Is Him
I am such a lover of peace. When the waters get unsteady, I doubt and fear and I do both quickly. So, the buzzwords in my head lately have been surrender, trust and "all I need is Jesus". My heart so easily takes on the concerns of the world like the economy and the election. Then there are concerns for our children, grandchildren and their future and desires for better family relationships in many areas. And then there is always our own future and the when in this area. I find myself praying often lately like the father of the boy who had seizures in Mark 9:24, "help my unbelief". While I would love for a consistently peaceful life I know that is a far off dream of mine. I know that we are called to suffer as Christ suffered for me and I know that it's in these uncertain times where I have no answers that God is growing me and teaching me a deeper trust and dependence in Him.I love the song "Somewhere in the Middle" from Casting Crown's Album, the Altar and the Door. "how close can I get Lord to my surrender without loosing all control", "will I trade my dreams for His or am I caught in the middle", "somewhere between my faith and my plans", "somewhere between peace and always wanting more", "somewhere in the middle you'll find me". While my heart sags at the true realization that this most often describes me, more and more God is showing me that all I truly need is Christ. "God help my unbelief"!

I have been reading Revelation, and how applicable it is. To roll back the scroll of fog that unveils the spiritual world behind the scenes of the present tense happenings and to glimpse God's glory! How encouraging it is to know that He is in control. I have taken the supernatural completely for granted in the affairs of men. Thanks for always reminding me that truly He is all we need. I love you. Lynn

According to the latest population predictions from the Census Bureau, minorities will become the majority in the workforce by 2038. In addition, the population as a whole will grow more slowly. These changes will have a dramatic effect on the workforce as we know it today. Senior leadership and direct managers must immediately begin thinking strategically about managing the impact this will make on day to day business management.
In a recent article for TalentManagement magazine, Brookings Institute demographer, William Frey considered the implications. He insists that it's vital to focus on the younger generation who will be entering the workforce as these changes play out. "The only way we're gaining population for the younger part of our age structure is because of minorities," he says.
Chief among Frey's concerns is ensuring that young people, particularly minority youth, have adequate education and training to take their place in the workforce.
"It's important we pay attention to these kids," Frey says. "Especially the second generation of immigrants, whose parents may not have had the kind of education and background that would put them in the middle class."
Various strategies have been proposed to make this crucial investment in the future of the workforce, from improving public schools to partnerships on technical training. However, ensuring adequate focus and attention on these issues at a national level is challenging and, with the younger part of the population growing much more slowly than the older part, we're potentially looking at critical talent shortages.
We'll be taking a look at the issues raised by demographers and considering how companies can be thinking now about their future workforce in the next issue of our BoldAssertionsTM newsletter, but we'd love to start the conversation now. Let us know what your business is doing to position itself to train, attract or supplement the changing workforce.

This series of posts shares field notes from the study abroad
course "Environment and Society in a Changing Arctic." The course begins
at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and then students
from the University of Illinois and KTH travel north to conduct research
in the Arctic. This blog was originally posted on KTH's Environment and Society in a Changing Arctic webpage.

Our guide talked about how demand for iron ore has risen in the last 10 years, mostly due to the rising demand in East Asia. At the same time, the price for iron ore has dropped because of competitors from Australia and South America. However, LKAB has decided to expand their operations by cutting down personnel and making their iron ore extraction more effective, but they will not dig any further down into the mountain because it would be too costly. We asked the guide whether this market condition has caused their profitability to decline, and currently LKAB has approximately zero net profit.
The tour guide also talked about the move of the town Kiruna to another location, and how they have had to consider different interests before the move can take place. Although LKAB wanted to separate and move the city further the decision ultimately fell on the municipality, who wanted to keep the city into one unit. The guide talked about the possibility of having to move the town again, perhaps in a 100 years from now, because LKAB plans to continue extracting iron ore in the area, which can potentially reach the relocated Kiruna.
After lunch, the group started the afternoon by walking to the Kiruna tourist center. We spent half an hour exploring the center, specifically the large exhibition by LKAB detailing information regarding their mining operations, their sustainable practices, and the move of the town. The model of Kiruna, pictured below, was particularly interesting; under it, one was able to view the size of the iron ore deposit in relation to the town. The reason Kiruna is moving is because of the sheer magnitude and profitability of this deposit, as well as the significance that the iron ore mining industry has on the town.
After visiting the tourist center, the group headed to Kiruna's city hall, where Clara Nystrom and Therese Olsson, two employees of the town's municipality, gave us a delightful and informative presentation about Kiruna's relocation. The developmental design was described as a symbol of the new Kiruna, and "a place to be proud of". The town currently has many areas of national interest related to mining, heritage, reindeer herding, nature and mountains, and transportation. However, the mining and economic interests take precedence over the others. They identified the key-actors involved in the planning of the new city including the political leadership, developers, investors, residents, LKAB, the county and transportation administration boards, and the architectural firm involved in designing the new Kiruna. We were also shown illustrations of what to expect from the new city, and were able to ask many questions related to the relocation.
Later in the day, our group reconvened to debrief and analyze the two days we spent here in Kiruna. Our main topic of discussion was the way in which the landscapes, the current and planned built environment, and the promotional and information materials of Kiruna expressed the city's identity and cultural heritage. One of the points that came up was the idea of "industrial nature", and how the town's industrial and natural landscapes are meshed together. Another was whether or not the Romanticist idea of the "sublime Arctic" could be applied to Kiruna.
The relocation is Kiruna is a very fascinating concept that is getting worldwide attention due to it being the first of its kind. In this class, we've established that the LKAB mine is a very important part of Kiruna's economy and cultural identity, which is the primary reason for the town's relocation. LKAB has also taken the majority of the fiscal responsibility for the move. However, Clara Nystrom posed a very important question during her presentation: how will they move the sorrows, feelings, and history associated with this town?

Deep Space Networks (DSNs) are a class of DTNs. In such networks, owing to limited radio range and node mobility, end-to-end paths between source and destination nodes are not available. Messages are relayed by store-and-forward strategy and may be buffered for long periods before being forwarded to the next hop. Therefore, the buffer of message carriers may overflow, and congestion follows. To address this issue, this paper proposes an early detection and rejection probability-based congestion control algorithm, named ERBA, in which every intermediate node estimates rejection probability when a new message arrives and refuses to receive the message with the rejection probability, so as to avoid congestion. To validate its effectiveness, ERBA is merged into static routing (SR) and dynamic routing (DR). SR and DR are classical routing algorithms for DSNs. The simulation results show that when working with ERBA, the routing overhead of SR and DR decreases rapidly.

Winter's Choice
We sat in silence. I was cautious of everything, not shifting my shoulder on which her head rested, regulating my breathing as on my chest, though not bare, she placed one of her hands and slowly and sensually, she stroked, then my face and chin, the tickling ensuing her stroking of my untended and rigid beard I endured gratefully. It was breezy and cold, so cold I could feel myself shivering; only slightly though, I hoped she did not notice. I finally understood what my ears had grown tired of hearing about the energy they say is generated when two lovers are together, in the dark, at a place they were sure no human soul would appear and disconnect their sheer bliss. What dominated my thoughts were two verses from one of the first classic poems I ever read, John Clare's 'First love' and how the reality of those words were unveiling on me. Clare wrote that:
"Are flowers the winter's choice?
Is love's bed always snow?"
I could not wait for a lengthy two weeks to complete our end of semester exams, as our previous agreement stated before seeing her, so I insisted we met that night. She resided at the school hostel. I claimed to be spending the night at school to read. "Who are you kidding?" I suspected she would have thought to when I told her on the phone earlier that historic night. Like a bride arriving late to her wedding, she came out of her hostel and walked slowly to where I was standing, seemingly in slow motion like a blockbuster movie's trailer, for me to get a complete preview of a package I was to acquire, or hope to acquire.
"Let's go somewhere less public." I suggested seconds after her arrival.
We were somewhere between two main University buildings that housed hundreds of students that night, majority of whom, unlike me, were genuinely reading, or trying to read. I led the way as we walked to a place I knew we could sit comfortably. I could feel my heart trying to force its way out of my chest. It was beating loudly and fiercely. Maybe she was right after all, in her message on facebook, the message that prompted this meeting, maybe I was not man enough. I started talking shortly after we sat, picking my words like peanuts with a fork. I avoided her face as I spoke and she seemed so relaxed, almost daring me to talk.
"Why don't you just say it? Just say what you want to say and stop beating around the bush." She said, interrupting the incoherent gibberish I had been saying. Like a little boy swimming for the first time, I hung my fear in the air and took the plunge. What I said next was less than one-tenth of everything I had said earlier, yet, a lot more sensible.
"I wonder why I waited three years to say this…" I started, fearlessly.
"…and I know it may be too late and make no difference but I think you, at least, deserve to know. I love you Bidemi, and it would be the greatest thing for us to be together. I have loved you since I first saw you and no matter what the outcome of tonight is, I will always love you." My heart stopped racing and my mind became lighter. I heard her sigh loudly and I knew what would follow. She told me how she had waited for me to say this for so long and how much she loved me as well, but she was with someone else and she was 'too deep' in that relationship to back out. Surprisingly, I was not upset. I had braced myself for this before meeting her; I just needed to hear it in her words.
She urged me to draw closer. It truly was magical what I felt, what I believe we both felt for the next hour. I felt as though she melted, and my shoulder received her head. I kissed her on the forehead and she kissed me on my cheek. I feared a volcano would erupt if I kissed her on her lips. I was sure she wanted me to, but I thought it was best we kept the molten in the ground. We shared intimate secrets that night. I recited a few poems to her and was surprised at my sense of humor as we talked. I struggled to believe we were not going to be together, that the energy we generated that night would go to waste. I wondered why love had to grow like flowers born in winter, never making it to spring. It was obvious she would leave the other man for me on a basis of love, but societal morality would not let her. I was in a glorious twilight, knowing the sun would set soon and never rise again. I savored the moment, we both did. I escorted her back to her hostel later that night and watched as the most valuable asset I could ever possess walked away. I watched until the darkness took her away and turned around immediately. It was still breezy but the cold had gone. I felt nothing until the next morning. It hurt more than childbirth, I was sure.
The examination result for that semester was the worst I ever had in any exam in my entire life, I hoped it would be the worst I will ever have. All I have left now are tormenting memories and a poem I wrote for her. The last stanza of the poem read thus:
"I picked my shaky legs up to walk away from love
With every step I took, I knew
I would be forever lost
I kept looking back,
And back I kept looking
I looked until the still night in the distance swallowed you
Then I knew that if it was not with you,
It really will never be, as it will with you."
The Seven-Year Orgasm I
That something; the something that always pops up where you're about to make a really stupid mistake popped up at the same time Tiwa's caramel breasts jumped out of the azure bra and into his face.
The something said you're going to regret this.
The other something in between his legs answered; regret is so overrated.
Segun hesitated. His right hand didn't, reaching and grasping a left appendage that was both firm and soft at the same time.
There's no clearer way to illustrate contradictions than with a woman's body; he thought.
And with that, the busybody something shut up.
It hadn't been easy; turning Tiwa down routinely. No one agreed with his decision; everyone seemed to think he was mad and so on because Tiwa was…Tiwa wasn't the kind of girl a regular guy turned down. To quote Jide the office…

Paul Adrian's ROBIN IN FLIGHT
Let's imagine for a second that the robin
is not a contained entity moving at speed
through space, but that it is a living change,
unmaking and remaking itself over and over
by sheer unconscious will, and that
if we were to slow down the film enough
we would see a flying ball of chaos,
flicking particles like Othello counters,
air turning to beak in front just as tail transforms to air behind,
a living being flinging its changes at a still universe.
This would require infinite alignments. Each molecule
privy to the code of its possible settings,
the capacity of a blade of grass to become
the shadow of a falling apple by pure force
of the tree's instinct. Every speck of world with the potential
to become stone, dog's breath, light twisted through glass,
filth under fingernails, the skin's bend at the bullet's
nudge the moment before impact,
the thought of a robin in flight,
the thought of the thought of a robin in flight.
Fruit with dying stalk
Unripe, but threatening to fall
To be free but lost
I inclined my head to read thoughts I wrote
On a star, which I should have breathed life on
But the sun had sent it off to die
The day dragged itself on
Stretching seconds until they felt like minutes
Countering every effort of redemption.
When again I saw familiar winks in the sky
I looked up and called on the distant light
To give back that which I left behind
It said it was a newly born star
That the one I sought was its older sister
Which the night will never bring back
My rage wore off; I turned to depart
I searched my brain for thoughts, ripe but unhatched
As I saw a rising sun breaching darkness
For remorse is a play in which I long not to cast

text: Talon is a new title from DC branching out of the pages from Scott Snyder's Batman storyline Night of the Owls – Possibly the best Batman storyline since R.I.P., and one any nerd worth his weight in testicular awesomeness would know. The main character Calvin Rose is an escape artist and rogue Talon assassin of the courts who has returned to Gotham to check in on rumors of the courts recent appearance and ultimate demise by Batman and his cohorts (the court had their merry band of immortal assassins execute a great number of city officials but Batman is the shit and wrecked shop… read NotO dammit!) During Calvin's investigation he tangos with a talon assassin and thus realizes the rumors are greatly exaggerated. As the fight resolves Calvin makes the acquaintance of an old Haggard man named Sebastian Clark (who creepily resembles an owl) who seems to hold an even stronger grudge against the court than our hero. Clark informs Calvin that the court of owls is not defeated but rather recuperating and is getting prepared to retake Gotham. Amongst the remaining court there's also 16 Talon assassins still on the loose protecting the courts holdings, "If we eliminate their resources and neutralize their talons, they will be finished!" So now we have our hero and our mission set for the series. This issue is mostly set up and could have some promising and worthwhile adventures, especially for any Batman fan. Skeevy old men in suits tend to freak me out, so I'm still skeptical as to Clark's true intentions but definitely dig on the arsenal and "owl cave" he has already prepared for Calvin. I'll be checking into this title again, what is the nerdosphere's thoughts on this latest addition in the batman family?

Tao Te Ching
Lao Tzu
Approx. 600 BCE
Lao Tzu – or Laozi – may or may not be a real dude. He's often said to have been a court record keeper during the period of the Zhou dynasty, though a signficant number of historians believe he's actually a philosophical character, a composite of real historical figures and mythological ones. Doesn't really matter, either way, for our purposes – the Lao Tzu we know is the recognized founder of Taoism, and to many a near-deity.
The Tao Te Ching is the primary canonical text of Taoist thought, and like all foundational texts its authority and inspiration is claimed by scholars, religious groups and political actors across the spectrum. The Tao is the unseen source of all creation, not a transcendent power but one that imbues all existence and represents the ideal of all existence. The tao is a state of balance, of natural harmony in which humans individually and collectively have no special or privileged place in the creation but are, like all, of it. Human consciousness, language, knowledge, technology, progress – human action in the world and to the world generally – can easily upset the fundamental balance, the drive to desire, act, and achieve being at odds with the Dao's harmonic state of calm, of acceptance, of being at peace with oneself and the world.
This is, of course, a profoundly impoverished description of the Tao Te Ching and the philosophical/ spiritual basis of Taoism generally. It gives some indication, though. Bottom line is that the text's impact on the world cannot be overstated. One of the most widely translated and widely-read of all books, it has provided the philosophical basis for a massive tradition of Asian thought, has profoundly impacted and shaped western philosophy more recently, and has influenced art, literature, politics, aesthetics – and even gardening – across the globe.

Selected poems by Abha Iyengar
A Woman's Cry
And then one day, we tried to change things,
Slavery is hard to bear, so is freedom,
Don't give up, fight hard,
So Particular
The apple was so good
Who asked you to be
The Moon Laughs
Caterwauling through life
Strange Lands
In Berlin I cried,
I have cried in strange lands
A MATTER OF TIME (a short story)
My eyes watered as the dust stung them even as I tried to shield
myself from the storm that was building up. I entered the old library on Arya
Samaj Road in Karol Bagh. The Ghalib Library was now a ramshackle, decrepit
building that had a drab yellow look speckled with the black of fungi and
disuse; much like the mottled, unkempt look of a street dog trying to survive in
a world that cared little for the old and destitute.

Tips When Choosing the Right Aged Care
Once you reach the time when you have to find the perfect place to spend your senior years, choosing from different kinds of age care facilities can either go smoothly or lead to arguments. So, when listing down prospects for providers of aged care services, you need to know the basics about home care.
Types of Aged Care Facility
- Low-Level Residential Care
This kind of age care facility, usually called a hostel, generally includes an accommodation and personal care such as assisting you with showering, dressing up, and other nursing care. Most recipients for low-level care can still move and do things on their own but need help in some areas of living. Sometimes, low care is only necessary when the current caregiver is on leave, or when you met an accident, or when you need short-term respite care.
- High-Level Residential Care
Unlike low-level care, high-level residential care facilities provide round-the-clock monitoring and nursing care for their elderly clients. This can be a long-term or permanent home care service or can also be short-term respite care due to an illness or accident.
High-level residential aged care facilities provide individual assistance with eating, nursing care, personal care, recreational therapy and activities, medical aids, and toiletries. Whichever of the many Australia age care facilites you choose, the government covers almost all of the costs especially for those who have little to no income at all. However, there still exists an asset assessment process which helps care providers determine the paying capacity of their recipients.
- In-Home Support
Unlike low-level and high-level residential aged care services, in-home support is the services offered to an elderly who wants to live at home. In Australia, the government itself has a home care service offered to people who are more than 65 years and who are too young to live in aged care facilities.
Things to Consider
- In-home care vs. residential care
First and foremost, try to do a little research about the difference between living with in-home care services or living in residential care. You can browse online for reviews and experiences of people who have relevant experiences or have family members who have tried both services. Also, you can talk to your doctor, family, and friends to help you assess your situation.
- Care providers
Try to contact a wide range of care providers to help you compare and decide which aged care facility you are going to live in. Try to talk to aged care clients and their families and ask for their personal recommendations.
- Do personal research
Create your own checklist when looking for an aged care facility. You can request for a short interview with various care providers to now about their services. Be sure to prepare a list of questions.
- Staffing arrangements
Make sure to check the aged care staffing arrangements, training, and skills ratios. When conducting a site tour, carefully observe how their staff do the work. Consider asking if they have different people working for nursing care and other services like the laundry and kitchen services.
- Access to Specialty care and medical services
Specialty care is something to be considered when looking for the right age care facilities as there are patients who suffer from Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease which require them to have a special care by medical professionals. There are those who are also deaf, blind, mute, or physically disabled who need special attention as well.
- Consumer feedback
There is no other viable selection except when you are able to observe and get a little experience inside the facility. If deemed necessary, ask for a little time to observe during meal times or talk to a current customer to know their experiences in the facility.
- Fair rights and responsibilities
Be sure that you know your rights as recipients as well as your responsibilities toward the age care facilities. It is your right to be treated well, taken cared of well, and to be provided with the utmost quality of services. For more information about your rights, refer to the Department of Health charters for Home Care and Residential Care. For more info, visit https://arcare.com.au/residential-aged-care-at-arcare/

Sumner County Woman Charged with TennCare "Doctor Shopping"
NASHVILLE, TN – A Sumner County woman is charged in an indictment for TennCare fraud involving "doctor shopping," or using TennCare to go to multiple doctors to obtain prescriptions for a controlled substance.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) with the assistance of the Sumner County Sheriff's Office, today announced the arrest Katherine L. Fry, 32, of Whitehouse. She is charged with seven counts of fraudulently using TennCare to obtain a controlled substance by "doctor shopping." The drugs involved were both strong painkillers, Hydrocodone and Oxycodone.
"The rise in prescription drug abuse is prominent across the country," Inspector General Deborah Y. Faulkner said. "The difference in Tennessee is we have laws against 'doctor shopping' for drugs, and we are intent on eliminating the abuse of painkillers and similar drugs in TennCare."
TennCare fraud is a Class E felony carrying a sentence of up to two years in prison per charge. District Attorney General Lawrence R. Whitley will be prosecuting this case.
The OIG, which is separate from TennCare, began full operation in February 2005 and has investigated cases leading to over $3.5 million paid in restitution and recoupment to TennCare, with a total estimated cost avoidance of over $173 million for the TennCare program, according to latest figures. To date, over 1,900 people have been charged with TennCare fraud.
Through the OIG Cash for Tips Program established by the Legislature, Tennesseans can get cash rewards for TennCare fraud tips that lead to convictions. Anyone can report suspected TennCare fraud by calling 1-800-433-3982 toll-free from anywhere in Tennessee, or log on to www.tn.gov/tnoig and follow the prompts that read "Report TennCare Fraud."

Key Findings Details
Social Security Benefit Claiming and Medicare Utilization
John Bound, Helen Levy and Lauren Nicholas
- We use administrative Medicare claims linked to nationally representative Health and Retirement Study data to compare health care utilization at common ages among four groups of Social Security recipients.
- Social Security beneficiaries claiming prior to their Full Eligibility Age are modestly less healthy than those who delay, but significantly healthier than DI recipients or rejected applicants.
- Rejected applicants appear more similar to DI recipients than to beneficiaries who never apply for DI benefits, though this difference is attenuated with additional time in Medicare.
- Our results suggest there could be a modest increase in DI application and receipt in response to increases in the EEA and FRA, though most early claimers would be too healthy for DI.

How to help children deal with shyness
One of the ways to achieve happiness and success in children lies in their capacity to comfortably relate to different kinds of people. Those who suffer some degree of shyness often face hardships. Children will miss a lot of opportunity, experience exclusion in a society, damaged self-esteem and loneliness, which could rob them from fun and fulfillment that life can offer. Concerned guardians or parents may often get confused and sometimes wouldn't know what to do to help their kids deal with shyness along with its accompanying challenges.
Ways to Help Your Kid to Deal with Shyness
Recognize the shyness pattern in your child. Kids are often affected by shyness to different degrees. There are those who will not answer the phone and there are also those that will not make any calls at all. To a shy child, any spontaneous encounter will become especially difficult because your child is required to answer quickly and spontaneously without any preparation. For a shy child, playing with a group is harder than in one-on-one situation. These are just some situations where you can recognize the shyness pattern in a child and often it includes denial and defensiveness.
Respect your child but show them your concern and curiosity about their shyness. Allow your child to consider whether they have thought about how shyness affects them. There are kids that consider shyness as avoidance. You should know how to explain how these social barriers would get in everyone's way to some degree. Tell them what you have observed especially when they are missing out on some great opportunities of life and express your desire to help them every step of the way. Allow them to decide whether they are willing to list down all times when they are free from shyness and the times when they suffer from them. Assist them by giving out your observation so that they will view shyness as something they can overcome.
Allow your child to understand that shyness can be overcome through drills and skills. It is important to let your child know that shyness is just like any other achievements or competitions where overcoming it is some sort of a goal. Tell them that they can improve their performance and help them craft simple but empowering words like "kiss goodbye to shyness." Help them out in their responses by allowing them to memorize conversational tools such as "how are you?" "What have you been up to?" or "It's great knowing you." You can label these expressions according to when they are going to use it and for whom. You could also show a situation wherein these expressions are applicable to.
Let them practice the use of phrases and spontaneously conduct drills. There are times when you should let your kids know that their skills are necessary such as when you invite family friends or relatives over. If you regularly have visits, they will know how to act around people. However, ask if the kids are willing to practice with parents while you craft out typical scenes where all of you have different roles to portray. Allow the child to watch and observe and emphasize how helpful these drills can be when they are suffering shyness in the same situations. There may be times when the drills are spontaneous wherein they are required to say their greetings, ask questions and comments during the drill so the child knows how to maintain their end of a conversation.The above article is written by Native English Tutor Wonderland.

Juniors Zach Sturman and Michael Faikes heard these words of guidance from College of Charleston's President Emeritus Lee Hignon last year and they set out to put them into practice. When they assumed the roles of Student Body President and Vice President last semester, Sturman and Faikes decided to make some major changes in the organization – and they received overwhelmingly positive results. Thus far, this new juggernaut has created a new addition to the campus meal plan, increased the quality of Residence Life, spearheaded a drug amnesty policy across the state and even worked toward providing students with a much needed umbrella rental service.
The political duo seized the opportunity to run last semester after they realized there was a troubling dichotomy between SGA's purported role and its actual efficiency over the past years. This was the problem they set out to fix. "The reason we ran," Sturman said, "is [because] we asked the question, 'What has student government been doing for the student body? What have they done for students?'" According to Faikes, "We've both been on SGA for the past two years together, and we could not tell you a great thing that SGA has done for the past two years." In the eyes of Sturman and Faikes, SGA was simply not operating as a student government should.
The primary difference between the old structure and the new is the role of four of SGA's six committees. The Allocations Committee and Student Organization Review Board will remain the same, but the other four committees have dropped their specific roles and now share only one operative: initiatives. Each committee will decide upon a timely and relevant problem on campus and set out to fix it as fast as possible. These committees, each motivated by a common initiative, have created greater flexibility and momentum not found in previous years. Even SGA's finances have been redistributed. "In years prior, the majority of our funds were spent on non-profits in our area and on our personal budgets," Sturman said. "We'd like to reallocate those resources and pump them right back into our campus for projects."
In order to accommodate for the loss of previous committee roles, Sturman and Faikes created new SGA positions called "liaisons." These individuals will represent each former committee ousted by the new structure in order to continue work from previous years. For example, the former committee for SGA Community Outreach has been replaced with one liaison who specifically seeks out community partnerships. In essence, SGA has more people working on more goals than ever before.
"Our new sort-of motto that we adopted is 'Your vision, our mission,'" Faikes explained. "[We aim to] throw all of our resources, all our time, all our energy at responding to what students need on campus."
Sturman and Faikes have flipped the system so that the power to bring change rests on the committee members and their executive initiative directors. This power shift has resulted in a sharp increase of involvement. As senators adapt to the new system, seek students' needs and develop innovative changes, Sturman and Faikes have their campaign platform to complete, which consisted of five key changes they aim to complete by the end of their term.
One change that is well under way is the process of improving the Medical Amnesty Policy on campus. Currently the Amnesty Policy, called the Good Samaritan Policy, allows students on campus to seek medical aid for a friend with an alcohol-related emergency without student disciplinary punishment. Sturman and Faikes are trying to bring drug-related emergencies under the envelope of this policy. They hope this change will promote safety on campus and encourage students to seek medical attention without fear of retribution. Another impending change to the policy is the addition of a Student Recovery Program on campus. This program will assist students who are addicted to alcohol or drugs with their recovery. This addition is the first of its kind in South Carolina among public universities. "That's going to be something that can quite literally save lives in the coming years," said Sturman. "So we're excited…it's a big change."
Another change from their campaign platform, one that has already come to fruition, is an improvement in residence hall swipe-ins. When they took office, the dynamic duo saw a need for a newer, more effective system. With their aide, Residence Life was able to produce a new system of digital swipe-ins for students living in dorms on campus.
Perhaps the most notable change from their platform has been the addition of Maroon Meals at the St. Phillip Street Einstein Bros Bagels. Numerous students on campus, particularly those living on the north side of Calhoun Street, were frustrated that City Bistro does not offer breakfast on weekdays. SGA senator Meghan Longtin proposed a solution. "I didn't really want to walk all the way downtown [to] Liberty to get breakfast in the morning, but I like Einstein's," Longtin explained. "So I was like, why can't we have [a deal] where I can swipe at Einstein's… to get breakfast in the morning up to a certain amount?" The result was the creation of Maroon Meals, a "predetermined retail combo meal swipe" that allows students to use their dining plan to eat breakfast at Einstein's.
According to Sturman, Einstein's has seen a considerable increase in student volume during breakfast hours, which would not have happened without the direct influence of SGA. "It came from the people who matter most in our organization, and that's our senators," Sturman said. "Michael and I can sit here all day long, all year and make changes on our end, but if our entire organization isn't empowered and feeling like they're making changes, that's not a sustainable model for student government."
So what of the future? Each of the four initiative-based committees has already presented ideas and is in the process of completing them. One that might motivate more students to attend athletic events is the sale of beer in TD Arena. Gunnar Burts, the executive initiative director of the committee heading this plan, explained that the idea was the logical next step after beer sales were allowed at Patriot's Point sports games. He believed that school spirit has been an issue at the College, which has affected sports attendance. Allowing beer at TD Arena may be just the solution to increasing this attendance factor and strengthening a subpar culture of school spirit.
As for the presidential duo, Sturman and Faikes have already shown a drive for progress extending beyond their initial campaign goals. "We have a commitment to the students to make sure that our five things are done on [our] platform," Sturman explained. "We've made sure three of them are, and we're going to focus intensively for the next semester to get the other two done." One of the two forthcoming platform goals is to reform printing on campus by adding printers in locations in addition to the library. Sturman emphasized that this was an area that needed a completely new approach. "We realize that's an area of deficit," he explained, "but we're going to have a test case in the Education Center most likely for a printer that's connected to one's 300 free prints in the library, and then once that's successful, we hope to expand it throughout campus."
The political duo has worked hard to bring their original platform to completion. While senators have begun compiling initiatives for the coming months, Sturman and Faikes have done some research into their own ideas. The latest result, and the final goal on the Sturman-Faikes platform, came in the form of a New York City-based start-up that could revolutionize campus life across the country, and the College could be one of the first to experience it. The start-up's name: 'brellaBox.
"It's essentially Red Box for umbrellas," explained Sturman. "We're going to have a low fee for students who want to rent umbrellas from one machine and drop them off at another machine on another part of campus." Sturman and Faikes have been working in close collaboration with the company's CEO for a while now, and it appears that logistics and funding are the only obstacles standing in between SGA and a campus-wide umbrella network accessible at the push of a button. If the 'brellaBox initiative succeeds, the College will be the only school to date that adopted this change through the student government rather than through the administration. "['brellaBox's founder] loves that," Sturman said. "He loves the story that we bring, and he hopes to use us as a model moving forward around the country."
The Student Body Government's newfound functionality has broadened the horizons for campus life at the College. The goal of representatives is to seek innovation through the experiences of students on campus. "I definitely think the best way for senators and even anybody to come up with ideas to change the campus is really just through experience," said Longtin. "I feel like I can actually accomplish something. I feel like the new leadership that we have this year is so different and supportive than before." Sturman and Faikes hope that students will recognize this and seek out SGA directly for further change. "I think that the new direction is actually self-reinforcing," said Sturman, "because if students are being made aware that there are changes that are happening that are successful like Einstein's, they're going to say, 'Wow. Maybe if I have a problem I can actually go to them and see a similar result.'"
As far as one can observe, Sturman and Faikes have lived out Lee Hignon's advice with great efficacy. In the coming years students on campus may look forward to a higher quality of campus life and a governing body that actively seeks to solve problems on campus.
"Our priorities are effecting change on campus in meaningful ways," Sturman said, "and we're going to make sure we accomplish those if it's the last thing we do."
