As we watch the Trump administration dismantle environmental and occupational regulations, as well as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), it may be naive to inject a bit of hope and optimism. But some bright spots are certainly emerging, even in the reddest of states. Of course, we know the ironies: the success of the Kynect website in Kentucky, home of the 2 senators most opposed to the ACA, and Susan Collins’s and some governors’ support of Medicaid expansion despite the fact that they’re Republicans. Less surprisingly, California has been leading the way in environmental regulatory efforts to limit CO2 emissions and to promote stringent air quality standards.
California has also pioneered actions in the use of civil courts to protect future generations from a number of industrial pollutants. Perhaps the most far-reaching was the 2013 decision by Superior Court judge James Kleinberg to address the age-old epidemic of childhood lead poisoning in the state’s case against Sherwin Williams, NL Industries, and ConAgra, 3 companies that marketed lead paint before the 1950s. He ordered them to pay for lead removal from the walls of San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Oakland, and a number of other cities and counties in the state.1 This has now been reinforced by California’s Sixth District Court of Appeal, which unanimously upheld the lower court’s decision. Pending a final appeal to the state Supreme Court, the companies are to pay for removing lead paint from the walls of tens of thousands of California homes. The court held, based on the historical evidence presented, that the companies responsible for marketing and promoting lead paint should pay to detoxify at-risk homes.2 This case was groundbreaking because it was the result of nearly 2 decades of legal wrangling over the responsibility for preventing childhood lead poisoning, arguably the longest childhood epidemic in American history. Until this decision, suits for lead poisoning or other industrial pollutants were brought under liability law statutes—for harms that were done in the past. Now, under the principles in the California decision, communities can sue to prevent future damage.
This post-hoc remedy was frustrating to public health advocates around the country. The most obvious failure of this system was that the legal “solutions” were antithetical to every principle of prevention that was the basis of their profession. Rather than remove lead paint before children were harmed, we waited for poisoned children, veritable “canaries in the mines,” to identify poisoned homes with their health.
The California decision was the result of over 20 years of legal wrangling that occupied a generation of once-young lawyers and scholars who first developed the case in Rhode Island and then, after some heartbreak, continued to fight for the principle of prevention in California. In Rhode Island, Sheldon Whitehouse, the attorney general at the end of the last century (and now a US senator), began the suit. (Full disclosure: I have been involved as a consultant, researcher, and witness in both of these efforts since the beginning.) Whitehouse used and the court accepted the innovative argument of “nuisance law,” which historically has been used by public health departments4 to stop people from polluting public water supplies or from dumping garbage in their own or a neighbor’s backyard. Like polluting the water supply, lead paint on the walls of Rhode Island homes also presented a foreseeable hazard. The principle was simple: the companies made the mess, so they should clean it up.
In March 2006, after the longest trial in Rhode Island civil court history, the jury ordered the companies to pay up to an estimated $4 billion for the removal of lead paint from the state’s windowsills, doorframes, and other obvious sources of lead paint dust and chips.5 This was immediately attacked by the business press and appealed by the companies. Two years after the trial, in a heartbreaking decision, the state Supreme Court reversed the verdict, arguing that the case had been brought to court under the wrong law: the state could not sue companies for damages that had not yet occurred.
Despite this disheartening reversal, California, which had begun a similar suit in the early 2000s, brought its case in 2012. As a precaution against years of useless legal efforts, the state’s lawyers and staff, including veterans of the Rhode Island effort, Fidelma Fitzpatrick, Laura Holcomb, and Bob McConnell of Motley Rice, approached the California Supreme Court to get a preliminary ruling as to the applicability of nuisance law. Would the court reverse a possible verdict in favor of the state using the same justification as did the Rhode Island court? No. The court instead said the case could go forward. After all, all public health law and regulations were meant to prevent disease and if the state couldn’t act until the damage had occurred, no public health statute would be enforceable. Again, after a lengthy trial that made headlines, the state won. Judge Kleinberg ordered the companies to pay $1.15 billion to the cities and counties to remove lead. The companies appealed and this past November, after 4 years, the court denied the defense’s appeal. Now the paint companies are appealing to the California Supreme Court and we will once again hold our breath.
This victory at the appeals level is significant in and of itself. Yet the principles laid out in the superior and appellate courts’ decision can have a much wider application to all sorts of historical environmental injustices. The federal government may have dropped the ball on environmental pollution, so now let us look to the states to take up the slack.

Now that 2014 is here, people are trying to stick to their resolutions and make a better version of themselves for the New Year. Though losing weight or being more organized are good resolutions, there is one resolution that is oftentimes overlooked, and that is the resolution to have a healthier smile. Believe it or not, making sure you are in tip-top oral health means many other parts of your body are healthier. For 2014, why not make the commitment to yourself to be a healthier you?
Most people are advised visit the dentist every six months. During a routine examination , your dentist will complete an oral cancer screening protocol and check for periodontal (gum) disease, making sure there are no early signs and, if there are, treat it right away. They will look at every single tooth, checking for cavities, decay, cracks, and other possible harm. They may also take X-rays , making sure there are no underlying problems that can’t be seen.
Your dentist may recommend an oral hygiene therapy visit .This aspect of dental care is an opportunity to remove tartar from below the gum line, while root planing smoothes out the rough surfaces where plaque has built up. Some people are advised to have an oral hygiene therapy session every 3 to 4 months.
By taking care of your dental needs, you reduce your risk of heart disease, oral cancer, severe tooth decay, and other possible health problems. You will be able to smile with confidence, knowing that your mouth is clean, healthy, and dazzling!
Give yourself the gift of excellent oral health this year, and you will not be sorry. Contact us today via our website www.harrow-dentist.com or call 020 84272543. | 2019-04-26T02:27:43 | https://harrowdentist.wordpress.com/tag/oral-hygiene/ |
102 years ago, on June 26th, 1913, the Presidential and Municipal Suffrage Bill became law. Illinois was the first state east of the Mississippi River to grant presidential suffrage to women. The bill was signed by Governor Edward F. Dunne who was a former resident of River Forest. Grace Wilbur Trout and the Nineteenth Century Club were essential in the seeing the bill become law.
Grace Wilbur Trout moved to a house on the 400 block of Forest Ave. in Oak Park from Chicago with her family in 1903. While in Oak Park she devised and implemented a strategy to attain the right to vote for women. Trout joined the Nineteenth Century Club of Oak Park in 1906. Trout went on to lead the campaign for a new state constitution that guaranteed equal rights for women. After she retired to Florida, Trout found new issues to occupy her time, including municipal planning.
Trout was lauded as "the supreme ideal of cultivated womanliness." She was a wife, mother, activist, and organizer. Trout was also a talented politician and orator. An example of the strong political time period is captured below with an event advertisement from the June 1913 Oak Leaves. The event being advertised is a baseball game between the Suffragettes vs. the Anti-Suffragettes.

Dr. Richard Young holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry and has been the vice president of the Council for Optical Radiation Measurement (CORM) since 2001. He has also been recognized for his professional participation in and contributions to the Aerospace Lighting Institute (ALI), the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA), and the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE).
Gooch & Housego was established as an optical radiation instrumentation, standards and calibration laboratory in 1970. Forming the nucleus of the company were two former NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology, formerly the National Bureau of Standards) physicists who had individually made significant contributions to the field of spectroradiometry and electro-optical technology.
The company was established to eliminate a void that existed in industry, government, and academia in the area of optical radiation standards, calibration services, and measurement instrumentation. As the result of a constant emphasis on precision and accuracy in these endeavors, the company has earned a worldwide reputation for high quality instrumentation and unique solutions to the most difficult and complex light measurement challenges.
The key to Gooch & Housego’s capabilities lies in the nearly 100 collective years in light measurement accumulated by senior personnel. The contributions to optical radiation measurement by the company’s former resident scientist alone, Dr. Richard Young, span more than 30 years. Other key personnel’s education, involvement in industry organizations, and hands-on experience make them among the most respected professionals in this field.
Though initially patterned after the procedures of NIST laboratories, Gooch & Housego has evolved its practices more toward handling practical calibration problems. As a result, the company provides unique calibration services that include, but are not limited to, providing spectroradiometric, radiometric and photometric standards.
Most of the standards and calibration services supplied by Gooch & Housego are directly traceable to NIST. In those cases where NIST standards are not available, standards from other national laboratories or standards set up at Gooch & Housego are used. | 2019-04-18T21:08:50 | http://light-all.com/content/zh-cn/support/service/test-service.aspx |

A submersible in situ spectrofluorometer, which permits the differentiation of four algal groups (green algae, diatoms, cryptophytes and cyanobacteria), was used for phytoplankton monitoring in five reservoirs with varying levels of eutrophication and composition of their phytoplankton communities. Data obtained in situ were compared to standard laboratory methods for phytoplankton quantification; concentration of chlorophyll a and microscopy analysis. A high correlation (r = 0.95, n = 96) between chlorophyll a levels using different methods was found in all types of phytoplankton community. Taxonomic analyses and cell counts were closely related to the ratio of algal classes measured by the in situ spectrofluorometer. The submersible device used in the study measures in a continuous mode, which is advantageous in comparison with discrete sampling. This method appears to be a good tool for water quality management and can be used in the detection of natural horizontal and vertical variability in phytoplankton communities or for the early detection of cyanobacterial blooms. The device used in this study is recommended as a screening tool that enables more effective sampling that can be focused on the localities and depths where changes in phytoplankton composition occur. | 2019-04-23T22:56:52 | https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10750-005-4268-1 |
The old time Christians used to sing alot about their eternal home,and so should we. If you look at some old song books, you will find alot of songs about Heaven. This sermon is taken from Revelation 21 and 22, where John "the Revelator" gives us the Holy Ghost inspired description of the Heavenly Jerusalem that is built four-square, with walls of jasper and gates of pearl and a street of gold. Jesus told us that He was going to prepare a place for His people, and that place is the City of the Saved. It is a PERFECT city, unlike any this world has ever seen. If you are not a citizen of of Heaven, you can apply and be accepted for membership by repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. | 2019-04-20T19:12:30 | http://www.solidrockbaptist.net/audio/category/heaven |

In Part 3 of his deep-dive into the recent EAS decision, Touchstone Consulting Group’s Gary Timm, a former broadcast engineer with experience in alerting, covered what the FCC left the same, updated an often-used acronym and discussed four rules that the commission eliminated. Timm has been analyzing the FCC’s 5th Report & Order on EAS.
Timm pointed out that aside from the elimination of the Governor-originated CAP alert, the agency also eliminated the Emergency Action Termination code as part of the presidential alerting process. The agency noted that the EAT was a holdover from when EAS station manual operation was the norm and does not translate well for automated operation, Timm states on the Alerts, Warnings & Response to Emergencies blog.
Earlier, in Part 2 of his analysis, Timm discussed what the FCC calls “intermediary devices,” which convert CAP messages to legacy EAS messages and then routed those messages to an existing non-CAP legacy EAS unit for airing. The commission clarified that if the intermediary device outputs the messages in legacy EAS protocol, then the device needs to be certified. | 2019-04-19T20:43:32 | https://www.radioworld.com/news-and-business/timm-what-the-fcc-changed-eliminated-in-eas-rules |

After admitting last week that "protocol was not followed" when at least two individuals called the FBI's anonymous tip line to warn that Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old suspected of murdering 17 of his former classmates, the No. 2 FBI official said Thursday that he had visited the FBI's call center this week as part of his review of why the tip wasn't followed.
He also addressed, in the most detail yet, the mounting criticisms facing the bureau, according to the Washington Post.
The remarks followed NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch's assertion that the FBI was primarily to blame for not preventing the shooting.
Shortly before Bowdich spoke Thursday, NRA chief executive Wayne LaPierre, who was speaking at the same event, said the FBI's leaders had gone "rogue."
Acting deputy director David Bowdich said he believes the biggest threat to the FBI is "losing the faith of the American people"
"Look, I don’t want to get into who says what, but I do want to project out to the public, is when I look through the prism of risk for our organization, I find the number one risk for our organization is losing the faith and confidence of the American people. Number one," Bowdich said when asked about the criticism from the NRA and others.
Still, while Bowdich provided some details about his visit to the FBI call center, he offered no new insight into why or how the tip wasn't followed up on. The FBI is actively investigating why the tip wasn't passed on to its Miami field office.
"People make judgments out on the streets every day. Every now and then, those judgments may not have been the best judgment based on the information they had at the time," Bowdich said.
Last year, the FBI received about 765,000 calls, in addition to about 750,000 Internet tips, and 9 out of 10 did not produce leads that could be followed. He said the bureau was going back through its "holdings" to make sure there aren't any other similar tips that have slipped through the cracks.
Wray has held on so far, and speculation is mounting that he might stay on to supervise the internal probe into why, exactly, these tips weren't followed up on. | 2019-04-18T12:28:41 | https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-23/there-was-mistake-made-fbis-no-2-refuses-provide-details-how-cruz-tips-were-fumbled |

Lately, I've been doing a lot of thinking about health. My daughter has too, and has come to the conclusion that she needs to be Vegan. I'm not sure if that is the best answer to many of her health issues. I'm not sure it isn't either, so I am going to be doing some research and sharing what I learn each Wednesday. I might include a new recipe, an article I found about something concerning our health or exercise, or just some thoughts about what I have found that has worked for me.
Many of you already know why I have named this Word of Wisdom Wednesday, but many of you do not. So, for the first week, I will share with you why I have picked that name.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has a health code called the Word of Wisdom. This code is found in Doctrine and Covenants section 89. I hope you click on the link to read exactly what it is.
We believe that we have been blessed with a body, and that we need to take care of it. The Word of Wisdom helps us to know how to do so. Most people look at the Word of Wisdom as a bunch of don't do this and don't do that, especially when it come to what we put into our bodies.
Personally, I have never had an issue with drugs, alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee; even before I joined the church. That's not to say I never tried any of them, just that when I did, I did not like it. I will have to say, I NEVER tried doing the drug thing. Heck, I don't even like taking ibuprofen (it knocks me out). Growing up in the South, you would have thought I was a tea drinker. I never like the stuff, and when I joined the church, the tea/coffee thing was not an issue, and I am grateful for that.
My focus will mostly be on our food. Today, we hear a lot about allergies to nuts, gluten dairy, etc; things that when I was growing up was unheard of (mostly). Personally....I think people are becoming allergic to these things because it is in EVERYTHING, and I mean everything. Start reading the labels. You will find gluten in your shampoos! (just one example of what I am talking about.) WHY!? One thing the Word of Wisdom points out is moderation, and there is no moderation in many of our foods.
Well, I am not going to go on any more, in hopes that you will go read about the Word of Wisdom by clicking on the link here and here. Then next week, I will hopefully have some insight to share about one particular thing in the Word of Wisdom. I would also like to hear what all of you are doing to take care of your bodies, so please share.
This morning I got up and decided to make everyone's favorite for breakfast. I should have thought about blogging about it then, and take pictures and all, but, oh well.... Actually, it's a pretty easy recipe.
First you mix together 1/3 cup soft shortening, 1/2 cup sugar and one egg together (with a beater) and set aside.
Then you mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 1/2 t baking power, 1/2 t salt and 1/4 tsp nutmeg in a small bowl.
Alternately, stir in the milk and flour mixture a little at a time...milk, then flour, milk, flour, until all ingredients are mixed together really well.
Fill greased muffin tins about 2/3 full and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes (until golden).
Just before the muffins are done, melt about 6 T or more of butter in one bowl, and in another bowl mix about 1/2 cup sugar and 1 t cinnamon.
As soon as you take the muffins out of the oven carefully remove them from the tins. Then dredge them in the butter, then cover them with the cinnamon and sugar and serve warm.
Not too long ago, my sister saw these bags and fell in love. She became a consultant and told me all about them. I ordered some and have also fell in love. See the bag on the left? Well, I ordered that exact one and have used it several times. I first took it on our cruise, and now it is my pool bag. Let me tell you....it holds A LOT!!!!
I go to the gym everyday. Most days, before I head to the pool I have a class. Afterward, I change into my bathing suit and swim, so this thing NEEDS to hold a lot. On a typical day, after I change into my swim suite, I will have three towels, my exercise clothes, shoes, my cover up, goggles, swim gloves, a small container of coconut oil for my hair, sunscreen, AND my purse (which is pretty big). Yes, it all fits.
For the month of May, which is almost over, there is a special that I want to get in on. If you buy $31 worth of stuff, you get half off on any thermal. I want to get this big guy. It holds A LOT. It's the Thermal Market Tote and you should see all the stuff my sister got in her's! She had two containers of half and half, milk, scallions, strawberries, lettuce, two things of feta cheese, cilantro, a bunch of cucumbers and a bunch of lunch meat. All that with quite a bit of room to spare. The handles are sturdy for this type of thing.
I am having a quick party, from now until Thursday (30 May 2013). If you are local, let me know, if not and you want to order, let me know too and I will send you the link. For non local people, it will be an extra $4 to be delivered right to your door.
By the way, all the stuff from Thirty-One is VERY durable!
Glad I Was NOT in the Caribbean!
On Sunday afternoon, 6 April, I started to have an uncomfortable feeling in my lower right side. No biggy. Not sure what I had done, but it was General Conference and I was sitting around all day watching it on TV.
The next day, Monday, I woke up with the same feeling in my side, and as the day went on it got worse. I was busy with the roofer, as we had had some issues and he was coming over to fix it. All day long my husband told me to go to the doctor. After the roofers left, my husband called (for the upteenth time) and told me to go to the doctor. I told him I would if he would come with me. I made the appointment and was on my way in the late afternoon.
My appointment was at 3:00. They immediately got me in and started pressing on my side. It really did not hurt much until that point, and then, BOY!!!! That HURT!!! I was sent to the hospital for a CT scan. The result, "one NASTY appendix" as the doctor put it; and it had to come out, NOW! I looked at him and told him we were leaving on a cruise to celebrate our 30th anniversary TWO WEEKS from TODAY. He said, "Well then, let's get you on that boat!
By about 10:00 p.m. or so, I was one less organ and tucked snugly in my bed. I really don't remember much 'til the next morning when the doctor came in and told me my appendix basically ruptured. Glad I went to the doctor! The plan was that I would be heading home the next day (Wednesday). Not so! My blood count would not go down and my stomach still hurt...A LOT; more than it did before I had that bugger out. I am allergic to a lot of different antibiotics, and the stuff he had me on was not working, so he upped it a bit. He told me that I was not dying, but he was going to give me an antibiotic that they give to people who are. I was also on morphine. I really don't like that stuff.
Thursday, nothing had changed, and my stomach REALLY hurt and I looked like I was pregnant. They upped my antibiotic, which made me sick, I went in for my second CT scan, and...fluid! So, in went drainage tubes; one in my stomach and one in my hip (about where you would get a shot). They did not leave the one in my stomach, but the one in my rear had to stay. The first night, I slept on my stomach. I could not move. They kept asking me, "On a scale from 1 to 10 how much pain are you in?" I was not in any pain, just uncomfortable. I finally told them, no pain, but discomfort, like about an 11 or so! So they gave me more morphine...yuck!
Friday, I was really hungry. I hadn't really eaten since before I had gone in the hospital. Nothing sounded or looked good, but I was hungry. They brought me something, I tried a few bites, and blah...! It was hard for me to sit or lay down, so I stood up and walked around quite a bit that day. Also, I had been poked so many times, that my veins would not cooperate anymore; so the lab would just prick my finger. Now why did they not do that to begin with? They only needed a very little amount of blood.
My original IV was not working anymore, and they tried to start one on my other arm, with zero luck. So, I had to get a picc line. Next time I have to go to the hospital, I am having a picc line! No more of this rolling veins thing!
Saturday, white count was still high, and the doctor came in to talk to me. In the past he would always say, something positive about the cruise, but not that day. He didn't even mention it. After he left, I called my mom and told her I think he just wrote off our cruise. I was not a happy camper.
The nurses were great. They tried so hard to make me comfortable and cheer me up. That stupid tube in my rear so uncomfortable! My back started to bother me. I did NOT want any more of that morphine, so I just suffered through it. Monday, my lab work came in, and my blood count was normal. YIPEE!!! I called my mom, and told her pack your bags, we just might make that cruise! The doctor told me that if my blood count stays down, I might be able to leave the next day.
Tuesday. White blood count back up....what?! NO WAY! I was really depressed. A few hours later, the doctor came in, and....blood count was NOT up, it was normal. He told me I needed another CT scan, and that if all was normal, they were going to take that tube and picc line out and I was going home!!!! YAY!!!
All was normal, I was going home...oh....all my tubes had to come out. I was nervous. Was it going to hurt? When they put all that stuff in, I was numb. I was really scared, but excited to go home. I'm not going to lie, it did hurt to get the tube and picc line out, but boy, was it nice to be FREEEEEE!
After eight LOOONG days in the hospital, I was ready and able to go home! Doctor's orders, though, NO lifting for a week! I could ride in a car, walk, and climb stairs. Whenever we go on vacation, I like to clean my house, REALLY WELL. Well, that was not happening. I was lucky to get packed. We left on Friday for Tennessee to pick up my mother in law, and headed to Florida on Saturday. We all made the boat on Monday, and had a wonderful time.
Doctor said, "You better be glad this did not happen in the middle of the Caribbean, little lady!" I agree, I am very glad that did not happen in the middle of the Caribbean.
For several years, my daughter has had some health issues. In fact, when I look back, a lot of these issues, she has had all her life, like her upset stomach. I think she thought everyone felt like that.
There is one thing that has come to haunt her in recent years that she did NOT have an issue with when she was younger...acne. Now, I am not saying she never had a zit, but she didn't have near the problem she has developed in the last few years; and she is 23!
Ashley is probably the few people I know that hardly wears makeup and washes her face like she is suppose to, so that is not the problem. She is also a very healthy eater, so that's not the problem. She has been to numerous doctors and most of them say, "Accutane!" Well, she will NOT be going down that path, too many negatives with that drug. I'm not sure if she is a candidate for it anyway. She has the cystic acne, but since she is married, at child bearing age, is at high risk for osteoporosis, and has intestinal issues, etc. All these (and then some), make her pretty much ineligible for the drug. Besides, I think we have figured it is more of a hormonal issue.
My daughter has been doing A LOT of research lately on the foods we eat and how they affect our body. She has also been doing some research on essential oils. When she first looked into the oils, I was a little skeptical. When her and her husband ordered them and started using them, I was amazed at some of the claims. Essential oils are a bit pricey, but if they do all that they claim to do, it would be worth it.
As time went on and Ashley and her husband used the oils, some of her symptoms subsided. Her husband's dad has had some health issues, and he started using the oils too--with great success. As I talk to some of my friends and other family member who use the oils, all I hear are great stories. So, I've decided to try them.
A few weeks ago, I found myself in the hospital with a ruptured appendix. I spent eight days in there, and this was just two weeks before our 30th wedding anniversary cruise. The doctor had me on "the gorilla of all antibiotics," as he called them. I am allergic to a lot of antibiotics and can't take many. The stuff he started me on were doing NO good, so he brought out the big guns. After I left, he didn't want to send me with any antibiotics due to the risk of me developing yet another allergy to an antibiotic. A friend who has been doing the oils for awhile now, sent me some oregano oil and Digestive Blend and told me how to take these while on the cruise. I did, and was fine. I really didn't know if it kept me from getting sick, so I was still a bit skeptical.
On the way home from the cruise in Florida, we stopped to visit with my daughter and her husband. I had ordered small bottles of lemon oil, lavender oil and peppermint oil. On the way home I developed my fourth set of fever blisters since my hospital stay. I read where lemon oil could help, and so I tried it. Within three days, they were GONE!!!! Hmmmm...Jury is still out.
I have had a nagging cough for MONTHS! Like maybe four or so. I get it every year, usually around Thanksgiving, and then it is gone by the summer, not this year! Anyway, I saw where you can take two drops each of lemon oil, lavender oil and peppermint oil into a capsule and take three times a day for allergies. I have heard that most cold/cough issues are allergies, so what the heck I'll try it. I took my first capsule last night before I went to bed. When I got up....I could really tell a difference. Not coughing as much at all! So I took another capsule at breakfast, and then at lunch. There is a HUGE difference in my cough. All the crud in my chest is breaking up and my cough is almost gone.
Okay....I guess I will have to be ordering me some more oils. So, do you use oils? If so what are your favorites? I have lemon, lavender, peppermint, oregano, Digestive Blend, Metabolic Blend (my daughter got this for free and she does NOT need to loose weight so I took it), and then Ashley gave me some Whisper for Mother's Day (mmmm, smells soooo goooood!). How do you like to use your oils? I would love to hear from you as to what and how you use your essential oils.
Several months ago, my mom was telling me about some necklaces she had seen and tried to describe them. I had no clue what she was talking about.
A few days ago, we were in the mall and went into one of those places where people rent spaces to sell their craft. We noticed one vendor made the necklaces my mom was trying to describe to me so many months ago. When I saw what they were made out of, I remember I had seen the yarn in a store recently. I was sure Walmart carried it, so we made our way there. I was wrong, Walmart does not carry it. I was disappointed because we were going to go home and create.
The next day, my mom and dad went back home to Florida. They had been visiting and sadly, their stay had come to an end. As I was changing sheets and doing other chores, the phone rang. It was one of my friends from my stitch club. She knew I liked to make jewelry and asked if I had ever worked with ladder yarn. THAT's it!!!! The yarn my mom and I were looking for the day before.
My friend proceeded to tell me she had a bunch of it and wanted to know if I would like to buy it off her for REALLY cheap. I met her that afternoon, came home and made a bunch of these.
I'm not sure most people realize how hard it is to move, especially for pre-teen and teenage children. Of course, those of you who move around a lot like we do, get it.
My husband and I have been married for 30 years, and we tend to move every three to five years. No, we are not military, we just tend to move a lot due to my husband's job as a Mechanical Engineer in the pulp and paper business. Each time we move, we look at it as an adventure, and, for the most part, it has been; some bad, but mostly all good.
Moving so frequently really never was been an issue until our children got older. Well, not an issue for our kids. When we moved from Wilmington, North Carolina, my husband practically took me kicking and screaming. I loved that area, and I had some good friends too.
I loved going to the beach in Wilmington!
When we moved from Muncie, Indiana, that was when it was getting hard on our children. When we first moved to Indiana, it was quite the adjustment. Both my husband and I grew up in the South, and we are not a fan of the cold weather. The kids had a good time there, due to the snow they had never really been around. Well, around much...we would get a couple of inches in Crossett, Arkansas that would stay around for a tiny bit. Nothing like the feet we would sometimes get up in Muncie.
Moving to Monroe, Louisiana from Indiana, was when our kids really started to balk at moving. Bill and I were so glad to get back down to the South were it was warm, but all of us missed our friends in the North; and so did our children. Our daughter especially was upset, as she had to leave her boyfriend. It all worked out in the end...they are now married! See things work out for the best!
This last move from Louisiana to Western Kentucky was probably the hardest. We lived in Monroe longer than we had lived anywhere else--almost six years! I left behind some wonderful ladies and I truly miss them. I feel that we will be lifelong friends. Our two youngest sons hated the move too. Especially our youngest--it was his Senior year. I said I would NEVER do that; move when we had a child still in high school. I learned to never say "NEVER." But, it all worked out in the end. He finished high school early and started going to BYU-Idaho this past January.
As I said at the beginning of this blog, "I'm not sure people realize how hard it is to move..." is so true. I'm not going to mention any names or places, as I have met some great people in ALL the places we have lived, but there have been a few places we have been to where it was rough in the beginning. One place we had just moved to, I was told that, as a new person, it was MY responsibility to be the one to stand up and introduce myself. Well, first off, I tend to be VERY shy. I have come a long way since my high school years, but that shyness is still there, and it is very hard and awkward for me to be pushy and stand up and say, "Hey, I'm new!" Not sure how that would come off either when people are in their own little clicks and not paying much attention to others around them.
I'd like to say, Kentucky is NOT the place this happened in. I have loved being here in Kentucky. Everyone is so nice and has welcomed our family with open arms. I am grateful for that! I just wish every place could be that way. Even with my shyness, I try to go up to people at church or at the YMCA, etc and introduce myself. It is hard for me, but I feel it is MY responsibility to go up to the newbie rather than them come to me.
So, I would like to challenge everyone to seek out the new people you come in contact with at school, church, fitness center, the kid's ball games or dance lessons, work, etc, and welcome them. Who knows, you might just meet your best friend.
I've been missing for a few weeks. But now, I am back!!!!
About a month ago, I found myself in the hospital with a ruptured appendix. This happened just two weeks before my husband and I were to leave on a cruise to celebrate our 30th anniversary.
We were able to make the cruise...barely and had a great time. I'm sure I will be blogging about it soon.
While I was in the hospital, my sister sent me a cool video class on how to make these Amigurumi animals. I finally was able to sit down yesterday and take the class and finish it today.
So, what do you think? There are a few boo boo's, but for my first one, I don't think it's too bad. I learned a lot making this critter. I had never done any increasing or decreasing so I learned how to do those, and I had only done something in the round once, and I really did not know what I was doing (kinda made it up as I went). I learned THREE new things doing this cute little duckie. He is actually suppose to be a little bluebird, but since I had bright yellow and orange yarn on hand, I decided to change it up a bit.
I just found out that Bill and I got married on Star Wars Day, lol yes..."May the forth be with you" which is May 4th. I can't believe it's been 30 years.
The old saying, "Time goes fast when you're having fun" is so true. These past 30 years with Bill have been the greatest!
Here we are celebrating 21 years.
This is where we were married; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint's Washington DC Temple.

Pentland Ferries catamaran vehicular ferry "Pentalina" arriving from St. Margaret's Hope in Orkney and about to berth at the Gills Bay terminal in Caithness. Not as high speed as her lines might suggest; she typically operates at around 16 to 18 knots. From a passenger point of view she is definitely "no frills" and as she is not drive-through you may well have to reverse your car on or off. | 2019-04-21T23:08:24 | http://forums.clydemaritime.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=37613 |
If you have a plan to buy a snowboard, then the very first and foremost thing that you need to perform is to determine your experience level. Are you a beginner in terms of snowboarding? Or are you an expert on pro-level snowboarder? This is very important because if you are unable to determine which level you are in then you won’t be able to choose the right snowboard for you. Because choosing a snowboard is not like pay a visit to any local store, choose, pick, and pay. You just need to think about a lot of things before going to decide anything and evaluating your experience is a primary factor. So for those who are beginners, choosing snowboard might be one of the easiest tasks for them as they don’t need to bother about the upper-level snowboards.
The reasons behind creating this article are to let the readers know about various types of snowboarders so that they will have a pretty clear knowledge about their snowboarding experience. Therefore keep reading to know more in details. Hope you will be benefited in several ways after you finish reading this article.
So at first, let’s talk about the beginner snowboarders. Basically, they are the person who has never done and snowboarding yet or just have some little experience will move slowly. At present, a vast majority of snowboarders are in this stage. Therefore, still, you will get plenty of readymade snowboards made only for the beginner snowboarders. Hope this is clear.
Now let’s talk about the intermediate snowboarders. So what you think about them? Well in general, they are pretty much experienced when compared with the beginner snowboarders but not more than the expert snowboarders. In general, this type of snowboarder has the ability to ride toe and heel edges. If you would like to establish yourself as an intermediate snowboarder then you must need to be a lot more solid on your feet. Otherwise, you won’t be able to move ahead.
In this section, we will talk about the expert snowboarder. Basically, this kind of snowboarders is more experienced when compared with both the beginner and intermediate snowboarders. And in general, this type of snowboard have solid confidence at the time of snowboarding. They have the super ability to adapt to any condition and elements and have the ability to ride the steepest terrain as well as maintain control at the same time.
For those who are in “pro” level, they are basically someone who has been doing this from long since and they are pretty much comfy on a board rather than they’re running or walking on their feet.
So to sum up, those are the four different types of snowboarders. Now based on the above-mentioned levels, by now you should easily figure out which level you’re in or could suit you the most because this will be needed while purchasing a snowboard or used snowboard boots. You don’t really all these criteria while purchasing snowboarding related thing like used ski boots, bindings but for buying a snowboard, there is actually no alternative of evaluating your experience. Thanks for reading!

Fulton Towing Service - Serving Fulton and surrounding areas. Highly trusted for over 15 years!
When your vehicle breaks down in Fulton, Maryland, it never seems to happen when you’re out for a fun drive or when you do not need to be anywhere important. Instead, it never fails to break down when you’re late for work, picking up the kids from school or when you have an important meeting to get to. Having a great towing service on hand, through a roadside assistance plan, means that you get a faster response time than simply calling the first tow company you come across. Most roadside assistance plans offer tows within thirty minutes of getting your call so you know you’ll be taken care of quickly.
With a roadside service plan, you can be assured that the Fulton, MD tow company has your best interests in mind and that they will take the best car of vehicle possible. Some tow companies only look at the bottom line and don’t really care how they handle your vehicle, they just want to get it to its destination as quickly as possible so they can move on to the next call. This means that you could end up spending more money do to their negligence or poor care of your car.
Each state requires a certain licensing for any tow trucks that are on the road but not all tow truck companies follow these rules. If you do not know the Fulton, MD tow company you are dealing with, you could end up having your vehicle damaged with no recourse to be compensated for the damage. A good roadside service company only deals with those towing services that are fully licensed and that meet the standards set for tow companies in your state. This means a higher quality of service for not only your car but for you when you are at your most stressed. | 2019-04-22T15:27:29 | http://towtruck.daytondefender.com/emergency-tow-truck-service-near-me-fulton-md.html |

Life's Funny Like That: On the other side.
Don't hesitate to get treatment for depression. You think it may be from your job, but it could be caused by all sorts of things, including breast cancer and other health ailments. I made that mistake for many years. Hugs to you.
It sounds like that place wasn't good for you in a multitude of ways.
One lesson I have learned from my 20 years of work - when a place treats you badly, every aspect of your life suffers as a result.
Even though you might not see it with your eyes, even though people who notice a change in you might not speak it out loud to you, there are tiny little ripples caused by that "being treated badly" pebble being thrown into your lake.
I hope you can find happiness now, Debby. You certainly deserve it. Or maybe I should say contentment. I've learned they're not necessarily the same.
I thought I commented on your last post. Maybe I'm going to your spam. Hopefully this will make and through and you'll get this ((hug)).
So, so good to hear from you. God is faithful. Am I right?
I do believe that is your "niche". You certainly seem to enjoy it and I know the patients are enriched by having you to care for them. | 2019-04-20T02:48:01 | http://lifesfunnylikethat.blogspot.com/2015/07/on-other-side.html |

Recycling is big business and particularly after the news that plastic and plastic waste is killing our wildlife, our oceans and our planet. And it’s no surprise to say that many of us were shocked at the images and news of what was really happening.
So, how can be more environmentally aware and just how can we recycle? The confusion surrounding bins and what can and can’t be recycled seems to be never-ending with more and more bins coming our way – but no real idea of what to put where!
Here at Designer Sofas 4U, we take our commitment to the environment very seriously and we’re well on our way to reducing our waste every single day as we adopt policies designed to make the planet a better place. So we’ve compiled a list of easy things you can do at home to recycle and be more ‘green’!
We’re all well aware of the plastic bag charge which came into effect earlier in the year designed to stop us from using as much as plastic. Plastic bags are now charged at five pence in most convenience stores and supermarkets.
Note down your shopping days on your calendar at home – doing this will help you to remember to take your bags from home and will avoid you having to purchase them in store. Even better, try and invest in cloth bags – not only are they much stronger, but they also last longer, meaning you can carry much more in them than in a standard bag and also you won’t have to fork out for another for a long time!
Whether it’s clothing, furniture, toys or even appliances – every little helps! Donating furniture to those who would like a second-hand sofa, or even to charities less fortunate means your old and unwanted items are less likely to go the tip and end up in a landfill.
There are plenty of ways to sell these days including online, on social media and some charities even arrange free furniture collections when you donate your items to their stores. Recycling your items has twice the economic impact of burying it in the ground and with less and less space available in landfills, it’s one of the most effective ways to ensure others can benefit, too.
One of the biggest things you can do to help you with your recycling is to reduce, reuse and recycle. Firstly, reduce the amount of waste you consume so for example, attempt to buy in bulk as buying in bulk usually means you’ll be using a lot less packaging than individual or wrapped items.
Next, reduce your waste by attempting to fix things before throwing them out. If your favourite pair of shoes have broken, look into getting them resoled as opposed to reaching for the rubbish bin.
Many electronics can be returned to their retailer once they’ve reached the end of their life so be sure to investigate what you can do with larger items and appliances. Additionally, switch to paper-free billing for your household bills and bank statements. These will then be delivered to your emails instead and you’re reducing the amount of post you get. Plus, many suppliers actually give you a discount for switching so look into it!
Then, reuse. Reuse your old containers, particularly helpful for food, reuse bags and paper where possible. Don’t forget about water bottles! They can be reused hundreds of times, so fill it up before throwing it out!
Finally, recycle. Anything that can’t be reused will need to be recycled where possible. Check your local council websites and read up on the recycling rules for your area to ensure you follow their guidelines as best you can. If you have items at home such as a coffee machine, check the manufacturer website as some of the coffee capsules can be recycled in brand new schemes organised by them. Don’t forget to buy items that have been created through recycled materials, too.
How do you recycle at home? Get in touch on Facebook or Twitter and let us know and we could feature your tips soon! | 2019-04-22T09:06:17 | https://www.designersofas4u.co.uk/easy-ways-to-recycle-at-home |
New account creation from Lead convert not performing duplicate check.
We've got a Lead conversion process that associates Accounts (and Contacts).
When converting a Lead with no existing Account relationship, the user must create a new Account as part of the conversion.
While duplicate check is performed when first clicking Convert, it is not performed again after the user has created a new associated Account.
I would expect that the default Account create duplicate check would be performed upon Lead conversion, but this isn't the case; a duplicate Account is created silently. | 2019-04-24T03:53:33 | https://community.sugarcrm.com/thread/26553 |
Shoes, do we take them for granted?
Think about this, are you a... keep them beautifully forever, boxed or chuck them in the cupboard kind of person? Perhaps you have shoes for everyday and shoes for special occasions or one pair for all? Have you many pairs as vital pieces of your wardrobe? Sneakers, sling-backs, kitten heels, court shoes, ballerina shoes, ankle boots? Or, do you just wear the same pair everyday until they wear out?! Whichever shoe persona you have, what you may not know nor appreciate is the work that goes into making them. Our thinking at Mandarina Shoes is as you have to wear shoes, they may as well be good shoes. Well-made shoes will last longer, just like friends.
Did you know that dogs only have skin on their feet? We call them pads, but it is just hard skin. Think about that when you are next moaning about an uncomfortable pair of shoes!
We should all be thankful to the human invention of THE SHOE! | 2019-04-18T12:28:39 | https://www.mandarinashoes.co.uk/blog/shoes-do-we-take-them-for-granted-3 |

Pacific Grove Hospital offers inpatient and outpatient care for individuals with mental health disorders and/or substance dependency. The individualized program includes individual counselling, family support, group therapy, experiential therapy and more. Pacific Grove Hospital is located in Riverside, California.
Pacific Grove Hospital is committed to provide individualized services for individuals willing to rehabilitate from substance addiction and/or seeking help for a mental health diagnosis. The program will provide caring and supportive staff that will help through the whole process of recovery.
Pacific Grove Hospital is a 68-bed rehabilitation facility that will provide different treatment services for individuals with alcohol and/or substance addiction. The program includes individual counseling, group therapy, family support and more.
They are not good advisors, they force the hospitalization and detoxification programs, they are very disorganized in the assignment of appointments. I would never go back to Pacific Grove Hospital, nobody should go if what you are looking for help.
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. At Pacific Grove Hospital, they offer an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that makes for a perfect step up from traditional outpatient therapy or an ideal step-down program from their inpatient program. They offer three different types of IOP programs, based upon the needs of the clients. Those who have psychiatric diagnoses such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, or anxiety disorders will receive treatment in the same IOP program. Their second track is chemical dependency track, which provides for the special needs of their clients facing addiction to drugs or alcohol. The third track is their co-occurring, dual-diagnosis program treats people who are struggling with both an addiction and co-occurring, comorbid mental health disorder.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don't require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for ~ 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals. The Partial Hospitalization Program meets Monday through Friday and the Intensive Outpatient Program meets three (3) days per week.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals. Pacific Grove Hospital offers a Trauma Exposed Professionals Program through an evidenced-based, best practice approach that helps military, police officers, firemen, first responders, healthcare workers, and other community providers become empowered, strong and able to successfully deal with life’s challenges.

NASA's environmental spacecraft Aura will study Earth's atmosphere.
A school bus-sized space observatory that will monitor the health of Earth's atmosphere in unprecedented detail rocketed into polar orbit today, finally darting away from its California launch pad atop a Boeing Delta 2 booster after several frustrating delays.
Rumbling into the predawn sky at 1002 GMT (6:02 a.m. EDT; 3:02 a.m. PDT), the two-stage rocket creating a dazzling light show for spectators at Vandenberg Air Force Base and beyond. Ten minutes later, NASA's Aura satellite reached an initial orbit above the planet while still riding the rocket's second stage motor.
Aura was originally supposed to launch June 19, but multiple technical concerns conspired to postpone the mission six times, keeping the satellite earthbound for an extra month.
Today's launch shot came after two back-to-back countdowns were scrubbed.
"I guess the third time was the charm for Aura," NASA launch director Chuck Dovale said.
"We worked through a couple of hard days and unfortunately couldn't get off the ground the last few days. But the team stuck together and worked a lot of issues, actually in the last week. This one provided tough to get off."
Nearly an hour after liftoff, the rocket restarted its second stage engine over east-central Africa to propel Aura into an orbit 370 nautical miles high. Sixty-four minutes into flight, the second stage opened its latches and then gently backed away from Aura, successfully delivering the 6,600-pound craft into space for the start of its six-year mission.
"We wish the Aura team well," Dovale said.
"Aura, the first comprehensive laboratory in space to help us better understand the chemistry and composition of the Earth's atmosphere, is fundamentally a mission to understand and protect the very air we breathe," said Ghassem Asrar, NASA's associate administrator for Earth science.
Our planet's atmosphere "is one of the most important life-sustaining resources. In fact, every breath we take reminds us of this importance," said Phil DeCola, Aura program scientist from NASA Headquarters.
"However, it is not the oxygen or even the nitrogen, which make up 99 percent of Earth's atmosphere, that is the focus of the Aura mission. Aura is focused on a fraction of the remaining one-percent -- the trace gases and aerosol particles that are almost as important as oxygen itself in sustaining life on Earth."
Is the stratospheric ozone layer recovering? The satellite's ability to study ozone chemistry should improve predictions of ozone change, scientists say.
What are the processes controlling air quality? Aura's tracking of atmospheric chemistry will provide a daily view of global air pollution, and researchers say the satellite will help distinguish between industrial and natural sources.
How is the Earth's climate changing? The spacecraft will measure greenhouse gases in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, aerosols in the lower stratosphere and lower troposphere and water vapor inside high tropical clouds. Scientists say this information will help climate forecasting.
"What Aura will do is help us to understand...how local and regional emissions can affect the global atmosphere and in turn how global chemical and climate change can impact our ability to have good air quality in local regions where we live," DeCola said.
The scientific return from Aura's view of Earth has the potential to impact environmental policies around the world.
"We are faced with many important decisions both nationally and internationally. This kind of information is a national and worldwide treasure to make sound decisions and form good policy for managing important resources," DeCola said.
"NASA is not in the business of making any regulations. We are in the business of providing the sound scientific understanding and information for our government and in partnership with governments around the world in making these decisions.
"Having said that though, it will be interesting to see how international treaties might be formed in the future. Right now, there are no international treaties that address the issue of air quality in that sense. Of course, there have been attempts at getting international treaties related to climate change, and we've had success in treaties for stratospheric ozone. But nothing really is in place right now or even really in a major way in the works to address the issue of global air quality.
"So in the future one might imagine that the kind of information that Aura is delivering could be used in that way."
Aura is the third of three large satellites in NASA's Earth Observing System -- a program aimed at taking the pulse of the planet's environment. The flagship Terra was launched in late 1999 to study the land; and Aqua followed two years ago to monitor Earth's water cycle.
"(Aura is) a perfect complement to our other Earth Observing System satellites that, together, will aid our nation and our neighbors by determining the extent, causes and regional consequences of global change," Asrar said.
The joint U.K./U.S. High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder instrument will measure trace gases, temperature and aerosols in the upper troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere.
The Microwave Limb Sounder will measure important ozone-destroying chemical species in the upper troposphere and stratosphere and measure trace gases in the presence of ice clouds and volcanic aerosols. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory built MLS.
Ozone Monitoring Instrument is Aura's primary sensor for tracking global ozone change and will continue the record of space-based ozone monitoring that began in 1970. OMI was built by the Netherlands and Finland in conjunction with NASA.
Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer will measure tropospheric ozone directly and other gases important to tropospheric pollution. JPL also made TES.
"The four instruments onboard Aura will be able to help us to unravel the links between climate change, air quality and stratospheric ozone recovery. We are very excited about this opportunity and we're really looking forward to the payoffs both in terms of scientific understanding and benefits to society that are going to come from this Aura mission," DeCola said.
Aura should complete its in-space tests and begin science operations by mid-October. Researchers expect to release first results by year's end.
Today's launch was the 114th flight of a Delta 2 rocket and fourth this year. The launcher is riding a string of 59 consecutive successes dating back to 1997.
"Aura will provide invaluable information on the condition of our atmosphere," said Will Trafton, vice president and general manager of Boeing Expendable Launch Systems. "Our Delta launch team knows that mission success in deploying satellites that enable important research such as this to continue, will benefit the people of the world today and for future generations."
The next Delta 2 launch is scheduled for August 2 when NASA's MESSENGER probe embarks on its voyage to orbit the planet Mercury. Workers are busy assembling the rocket on pad 17B at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
"We are looking forward to that," Dovale said. "There is about a two-week window we have to get (MESSENGER) off in. So we are looking forward to that challenge." | 2019-04-20T23:01:40 | https://spaceflightnow.com/delta/d306/ |

Just measure, click, and record. Macaron is a concept Bluetooth tape measure made to make measuring process easier while also assisting visually impaired to take accurate measurements. This project was inspired by a blind student who couldn’t renovate his house due to his difficulties in seeing marking on the tape measure. Macaron has been designed to answer this issue, a product that is designed to be usable and benefit all people.
This universal access smart tape measure can store measured information in a quantitative format to an app on the paired mobile device. You don’t need to read any marking or record using pen and paper, it’s practical and more efficient measuring method.
Macaron by Oseyeris doesn’t need user to read marking to know the measurement, it has multiple sensors for accurate measurement and is paired to a specifically developed app to provide user with audio feedback. User can use the app to preset the object and distances to be measured, voice input is also available for this setup. This measuring device uses a patent pending method that monitors the reel as the thread comes out and converts the reading into a quantitative measurement. That magnetic tip allows for precise positioning of the tape measure for accurate round measurements, whereas the flip out tip pushes down and straighten the measuring thread for accurate linear measurements.
Macaron concept measurement device provides an instant visual-audio feedback and when the length is adjusted, it also updates the feedback for user. Any measured values can be saved to the phone app by simply pressing a button, it’ll then trigger a haptic feedback to let user know that the measurements have been saved.

Among uremic patients, chronic nephritis is the most common cause, accounting for about 36%. Therefore, it is necessary for patients with chronic nephritis to take early measures to avoid uremia.
According to different pathological and physical signs of patients, the treatment of nephritis vary. But in the following, we list three main methods to help you.
The influence of blood pressure on kidney disease ranks first. If kidney patients have high blood pressure, the risk of Kidney Failure will increase dramatically. Blood pressure is directly related to the life expectancy of kidney patients.
All kidney patients should monitor blood pressure regularly. And patients with hypertension should be monitored at home every day. If they exceed the standard, they should be fed back to the doctor to discuss the countermeasures. The ideal blood pressure of kidney patients is below 130/80mmHg. If the urinary protein has been completely relieved, the blood pressure can be relaxed to below 140/90mmHg, and the elderly patients can also be relaxed appropriately.
The first choice of antihypertensive drugs is RAS blocker, that is, ACEI/ARB drugs (except for renal artery stenosis, hyperkalemia and pregnant patients), which can reduce urinary protein and protect renal function while lowering blood pressure. If a single antihypertensive drug fails to control blood pressure or the initial systolic blood pressure reaches 150, calcium antagonists can be added.
Low salt diet is another important way to reduce blood pressure. Every day when salt intake is lowered by 1 g, blood pressure can be lowered by 1 mmHg. Low salt diet usually reduces systolic blood pressure by 5-10 mmHg.
Low salt diet means that daily salt intake is less than 6g, equivalent to 24 hours urine sodium control at 100 mmol level. If the 24-hour urinary sodium exceeds 100 mmol, it means that salt intake is too large, and you should reduce it.
24-hour urinary protein quantification is more than 1g for a long time, which is usually a sign of poor prognosis of nephropathy (membranous nephropathy is 4g).
Patients with urinary protein quantification above 0.5g should consider taking ACEI/ARB drugs to reduce urinary protein. Some kidney patients may need to take them for life.
If the urinary protein is still greater than 1g, the dosage of ACEI or ARB should be increased within tolerance, or low dose spironolactone should be added, and integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine should be adopted. Chinese medicine can further reduce urinary protein, reduce the side effects of Western medicine and eliminate occult blood. Steroids, immunosuppressants and monoclonal antibodies may be considered in patients whose urinary protein is still greater than 1 g after routine treatment.
24-hour urinary protein quantification below 1 g is the treatment target of most patients with proteinuria. Long-term excessive urinary protein will lead to progressive progress of nephropathy. The target value of urinary protein in young patients should be lower than 0.5g, in order to maintain renal function for a longer time.
Chronic nephritis has a nickname: cold sequelae. Take IgA nephritis, the main part of nephritis, for an example, it is initially induced by infection in most cases. Nephropathy is generally prone to recurrence. In the course of treatment, cold infection is also an important factor leading to recurrence.
Kidney patients with 24-hour urinary protein of less than 2g should actively exercise to enhance disease resistance.
Pay attention to plasma albumin and immune function. If necessary, we can take plasma albumin transfusion and immunopotentiator to treat it. Don't let immunity be too low.
Influenza vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine are recommended for nephrotic patients.
In addition to protein reduction, blood pressure reduction, and infection prevention, anticoagulation, lipid reduction, diuresis and other treatment for kidney disease is also very helpful. For more information on CKD treatment, please leave a message below or contact online doctor. | 2019-04-21T20:11:19 | https://chinesemedicines.org/ckd-list/285.html |

The fire began in the early hours of Friday morning at a campsite in Oléron, off the western coast of France.
It remains unknown what caused the blaze, but 1,500 campers were forced to leave the campsite from around 2.30am.
Four people suffered minor injuries, including a 5-year-old girl who had inhaled smoke. All were taken to a nearby hospital.
Some 60 firefighters were called in to extinguish the blaze, and it wasn't until around 6.30am on Friday that campers were allowed to return.
The damage was "significant", reported the France Bleu channel, and spread across roughly 500 metres squared.
While many of the campervans escaped serious damage, a handful of mobile homes and cars were totally destroyed, as was some of the island's vegetation.
"The families affected are in total shock," a local firefighter told the channel.
The island of Oléron, near La Rochelle in western France, is the second largest island of metropolitan France behind Corsica, and is a popular tourist destination. | 2019-04-20T05:16:39 | https://www.thelocal.fr/20160819/fire-on-french-tourist-island-sees-1500-evacuated |

I am happy to present you the latest, third edition of ERYICA’s Good Practice Booklet. Like before, it is filled with success stories from our network and it seeks to inspire the creation of new, innovative projects, while giving recognition to the achievements displayed. The importance and relevance of youth information and counselling these times are flagrantly exemplified by the thickness of the Employment chapter and we do believe these tools and efforts provide much expected help for young people. On the other hand, the exchange of such experience is also one very attractive aspect of membership in ERYICA. The booklet, which has been published biannually since 2010 with the same frame but ever changing content, is once again based on SHEryica, the online platform for youth information workers. All that could not fit the frames of this printed edition is interactively available and updated online at sheryica.org.
The success of this publication is reflected by the co-operations and projects that develop from the ideas presented here. Therefore I envisage meeting little twins, clones and other, genetically engineered mutations of these good examples across the ERYICA network.
introduction In July 2014, 5.062 million young persons (under 25) were unemployed in the EU-28, of whom 3.327 million were in the Euro area.
counselling work and makes position of YIC work extremely important and useful.
of job fairs and other events where young people can meet potential employers).
Firstly, in transition from education to labour market young people want all kind of reliable information, but also professional support in finding right opportunities for them to become more attractive at labour market and for their career development (e.g. about different courses and training programs, mobility programs, ERASMUS+, scholarships for continuation of their education etc. available for young people).
Some YIC services have special programs to support young entrepreneurs in various ways (counselling on establishing start-ups, info on registration, finding other support, funding etc.).
Thirdly, in some countries YICs are used as a focal point for consultation processes with young people on youth employment measures, especially in the framework of Youth Guarantee National Implementation Plans. This dynamic work and variation of methods of youth information and counselling services across Europe give important support for youth employment today. However, their good practice is also useful for learning and it serves as inspiration for their peers with challenges and experiences they have in their projects.
1.1 now act! youth employment solutions – yes! The issue of youth employment is handled by many stakeholders. However, one aspect of crucial importance that is often overlooked in the solving of this issue is the participation of the young people, as they are the only ones who know best what they need, what is missing, what would help them the most to get work. The project Now Act! Youth Employment Solutions – YES! is implemented by the United Nations in Montenegro in collaboration with NGO Forum MNE and NGO Expeditio. Among other aspects, the project implied online and offline consultations with young people on the issue of youth (un)employment. Forum MNE was in charge of both consultations’ processes, as the organization that reaches the biggest number of young people from all parts of Montenegro.
to be financed and implemented. All of the solutions contribute to improvements of some aspects in the area of youth unemployment. The solutions are in the process of implementation.
use of resources and related techniques and in personal skills, occupational awareness, safety and work experience. Applied learning also provides learners with tasks and situations and includes applications of information, knowledge, elements of career awareness, career exploration, and the integration of industrial knowledge and practices into their work and provides multiple ways for young people to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. The method of learning in the programme is distinctly different from the learning methods in primary and secondary education. The learning environment aims to encourage the active involvement of the young person, bearing in mind that it is not a traditional classroom environment. Diverse modes of learning include effective use and assessment of information and leisure, cultural and educational activities are also organized and the programme aims to inform, empower and motivate young people to become more active participants in their own learning.
Achievements: Youth.inc is an integral part of Malta’s Strategic Plan for the Prevention of Early School Leaving, the National Employment Policy and the National Literacy Strategy and works in cooperation with relevant entities including the Directorate for the Prevention of Early School Leaving. Youth. inc will also be integrated with Aġenzija Żgħażagħ’s existing youth information and counselling services. The aims of Youth.inc are to • Instil a work and lifelong education ethnic among young participants. • Inform young people of learning and employment opportunities. • Increase their chances of gaining employment. • Reduce the risk of unemployment. • Promote lifelong learning. Projected outcomes for young participants are • Personal and social development and increased self-esteem.
Access to quality information and advice. Second-chance education and training. Promotion of independence, personal autonomy, active citizenship and a pattern of lifelong learning. Integration into further education and training opportunities and/or the labour market.

1.3 student job search Since the year 2000, the Youth Information Centre in Luxembourg (CIJ) has deployed ways to collect national job possibilities for young people.
of their application letters and their CV. Practical guides are available at the information desk of the Youth Information Centre. The promotion of job offers is not only made available through the information desk at CIJ and the website jobs.youth.lu, but also through the participation of the Youth Information Centre at regional job fairs. Obviously the CIJ generally responds to questions of young people and companies about issues of the rights of work, the remuneration for young people, the terms of contract and other practical details. A large number of youth services and administrations affected by the theme of youth employment rely to CIJs’ job related services.
Based on the right to anonymity as described in the ERYICA youth information charter, the CIJ is respecting personal data of young people that can appear in documents such as the curriculum vitae and supports the autonomy of young jobseekers to contact the employers.
Achievements: Every year, the Centre Information Jeunes counts, through its statistics and evaluation reports, more than thousand young people who consult between 1000 and 1500 job offers collected each year for or outside school holidays. The main objective of this service is firstly the provision and information of job offers, not the follow-up of young jobseekers or to make contact with companies.
This centralized service at CIJ allows young jobseekers to benefit at one site from a generalist and free consultation about youth employment.
1.4 career guidance in terms of curriculum reform The project “Career guidance in terms of curriculum reform” was prepared with the aim of fostering young people’s decision-making when choosing further education or career.
system that contains all necessary information for informed decision-making on education and career. The system is unique because it combines educational offers with updated information from the labour market and this way it provides comprehensive informational support for decisions. It also brings an important feedback about assertion of graduates in the labour market and it contains a list of jobs showing where a lack of educated professionals is. For better orientation in the educational and career offer, the portal provides short videos with job descriptions and short on-line test about professions. The methods of practical usage of the system are verified among users at the schools by trained youth information workers – tutors – from the regional youth information centres. Department of NÚV – National Youth Information Centre is coordinating this part of the project.
Youth and Sports, regional authorities, employers and trade unions can all receive something from it. For example, it can serve as a tool for predicting further trends on the labour market.
1.5 youth idea Since the beginnings, one major aim has guided the work of the Solna Youth Centre: to support young people’s dreams – from small to big. Youth Idea tries to answer fast to young people’s demands.
out students, young people in a situation of unemployment, etc. During this autumn Youth Idea will focus on creating a better collaboration structure between municipal bodies and companies in order to support young people’s ideas. The “One hour” initiative will make possible for employees/companies to offer, mainly through the companies’ CSR programmes, just one hour to support young people. This support will manifest in the form of study visits, job-shadowing, mentorship, meetings and more. In the future, we hope that this time investment will be followed by economical support.
on international level. Young people with fewer opportunities who, with some support and guidance, created their own football team. Now they are supporting other young people in the area to establish new teams. A young person who left the school and was unemployed, after participating in a training and an international seminar, started to work in his new field of interest. A group of young people worry about social issues, borrow some facilities and music equipment and organized a very successful charity concert. During the project they also learnt to use computer design programmes to create their own poster for the event.

dictated by cards organized in four themes, discover the working world, existing training possibilities when you don’t have a diploma, how to prepare for a job interview... By fulfilling some challenges, the youngster assimilates without realizing it a lot of information and therefore lives an experience that can be useful and guide them in their professional steps. It’s accompanied by a user guide and a lexicon so the participants and the facilitator can get through specific vocabulary. All those tools can be used separately and are complementary so you can have a transversal approach of the subject, and moreover adapt your activity to the group and the timeframe you have.
including Sector Skills Councils, Training Providers and national skills organisation Skills Development Scotland, as well as with employers and apprentices. Young Scot supported employers throughout the process of recruiting a young person, supported with any issues, and provided soft skills and employability training for their apprentices once a month throughout the course of the apprenticeship. An employers’ handbook was developed allowing for best practice to be gathered and shared for future programmes. A fund was also provided that allowed employers and apprentices to address any training needs by requesting to go on additional courses. Young Scot also worked with apprentices, supporting them to develop personal development plans, developing their training needs analysis and working on positive destinations with each of them.
interview people working in their field in different locations and question them about their career journeys. Having a Modern Apprenticeship Coordinator in place meant there was somebody to oversee the programme, ensured there was consistency in practice and that all young people were being adequately supported and allowed for additional training to be in place. The support mechanism was an important tool for employers, many of whom were small organisations with only a few members of staff and minimal human resources expertise. Creative Scotland also developed a progression programme of Traineeships, aimed at 20 to 30 year olds, to reach young people who perhaps were one stage up from an apprenticeship programme.
The project contributes to the visibility of the diversity of young people in all their aspects. Reducing unemployment rates for young people living in Catalonia, regardless of their origin, is our priority.
young people find work. We reach that by training them so that they could get jobs in fields of employment and economy that provide a specific response to the demands and benefits of each region. In addition, the programme seeks to improve networking between professionals, institutions and organisations working with this group. To this date the programme has benefited nearly 300 young people from all over Catalonia.
In addition, the programme seeks to increase and improve social and occupational opportunities for less qualified young people. This means getting young people who have dropped out of (or been unable to access) education for whatever reason back into school.
Another of the programme’s core areas is enhancing the skills of young people with a lower educational profile. The programme also aims to foster the integration of young people taking part in the Fórmula Jove through participation in the associations and community life of their area and surroundings.
a chance to be heard. Structured Dialogue should not be just superficial consultation with young people, but a tool for real dialogue between young people and all actors participating in the development and implementation of policies that concern young people. By enabling young people’s involvement, we are building our common future and the kind of Europe where young people want to live. Feeling good about oneself and being able to strengthen one’s skills is important for us all, but particularly for young people. Therefore, this section’s good practices in youth information related to participation and involvement are an inspiration and example for all of us. I consider it important that Good Practice in Youth Information is not just for ERYICA’s members, but that its excellent examples will be spread widely through different networks and channels.
achieving results. To enable high standards for evaluating young people’s participation and involvement, we need indicators and key figures. It makes sense to involve young people in developing them. Read more about the targets, national structures and measures of Structured Dialogue. Engage young people in discussion and provide them with space to be heard. Let’s make young people visible!
and also via newsletters and websites such as the European Youth Portal and Youth Board of Cyprus. An additional relevant dissemination tool is the Structured Dialogue Online Blog (developed by an intern of the YIC), where policies, information, pictures, data of meetings and conferences are available to youth of Cyprus. The dissemination process is also supported and achieved with the help of the National Working Group on the Structured Dialogue based on collaboration with Eurodesk, Youth in Action, YIC and general support from the Youth Board of Cyprus. Participants who took part at the Public Consultations had then participated at the European Youth Conferences and had also become Youth Ambassadors of the SD in Cyprus. The Youth Ambassadors had also contributed to the SD section of the European Youth Portal.
Recommendations are used by the YIC to advocate young people’s needs towards relevant stakeholders, according to the different topics under discussion.
pops and discussion forums – that aimed to inform young people about the nature and role of the democratic process at European level and the role of the European Parliament in particular. The aim of the project was not only to inform and facilitate young people’s active participation in European Parliamentary elections but also to foster in them an appreciation and knowledge of the democratic process itself and its importance for their lives and that of their communities. As part of the project, Aġenzija Żgħażagħ, employing its register of young people who hold the European Youth Card (some 3,000 young people) and its register of national and local youth organisations (some 100 organisations), conducted an online survey of young people between the ages of 18 and 30 during the period February-March 2014.
Achievements: A number of identifiable features are apparent from the survey as regards the voting patterns and intentions of young people in both national and European elections, their views of the role of the European Parliament and their attitudes to and expectations of politics at European level. With regard to voting in General Elections and European Parliamentary elections, the response was very positive. Almost 79% of respondents indicated that they had voted in the 2013 General Election, while almost 75% expressed their intention to vote in the European Parliamentary elections in 2014. These findings are in line with the evidence which places voting by Maltese young people among the highest in the European Union.
Almost 80% of respondents considered themselves as being European as well as Maltese citizens, while over 70% indicated that they were aware of their rights as European citizens. Immigration, education and employment were the most important national issues respondents would like Maltese MEPs to raise in the European Parliament. In general, respondents emerge as active in the electoral process at both national and European levels and positively aware of the role of the European Parliament and Maltese MEPs. They have a positive view of European citizenship and they appear to see the European Parliament as a means of addressing issues that are as much local and national – immigration, education and employment – as they are European.
Over 70% of respondents were aware of the role, structure and composition of the European Parliament, while over 60% of respondents expressed a willingness to involve themselves in the electoral process for the European Parliament.
With regard to the issue of European citizenship, the response was also positive.

2.3 de deux/trois choses l’urne “De deux/trois choses l’urne” is an exhibition-animation created by the local information center Info J and Maison de la Laïcité (La Louvière – Belgium), where the young people have to build their own city, so they can understand how a city is organized in an interactive and funny way. They can also exchange their points of view, choose the priorities of the city and manage the decisions about concrete situations. They participate to the city elections in comparing their self-created fictional programs with the real programs. For the older, an approach of the belgian political configuration with the political divide and its structuration will be proposed. It has been created in partnership with Latitude J2 du Centre et de Soignies, Lire et Ecrire Mons-Centre-Borinage, the CiepMOC, the Club Achille Chavée and the FPS du Centre et de Soignies.
2.4 jubel JUBEL (Jugendbeteiligung Liechtenstein, English: Youth Participation Liechtenstein) is a project founded by the Youth Information Centre Liechtenstein (aha – Tipps und Infos für junge Leute).
make the most of these “short ways” and learn how to use them to their advantage. Some examples of past projects include: Jugend Energy; a co-financed solar roof; several youth exchanges; youth cafés and a youth parliament. The key to work successfully with youngsters is to meet them as equals, have good examples of projects that have already been successful, and be empathetic. Moreover, the mentors have a good understanding for where they are at in their lives (e.g. defining themselves, being in love, physical changes, etc.) JUBEL is a learning environment for everybody; Coordinator as well as mentor. Learning by doing is a central value of JUBEL; the Jublers explore how to realise their projects themselves. The Coordinator guides them in this process through nonformal learning methods. JUBEL alumni provide mentorship support to the new Jublers. It is a continuous learning journey for participants and the people that facilitate the process.
Achievements: With JUBEL, more than 300 young people could become active to shape their surroundings and future. Those people were giving life to about 30 projects. In addition, some former participants are still mentoring new groups that form out of JUBEL or have their own initiatives, e.g. the Liechtenstein Youth council (www.jugendrat.li).
2.5 politics as a boring matter for youngsters? think again! On the occasion of the European elections in 2014 De Ambrassade designed1 a game to inform and sensitize youngsters about the impact of the EU as a decision-making body on our daily life.
Flemish Parliament and presented it to politicians. In this way, the point of view of youngsters was pushed forward on the political agenda. To be able to participate, information is the key. Parallel to the events mentioned above, De Ambrassade added clear and accessible information about politics to her generalist youth information website www.jongerengids.be. Complex political terminology and information about our democratic system was translated in no– nonsense information. On top of this, a website was created with information about the point of view of the political parties on 15 subjects concerned important by youngsters. You can find this position matrix here: http://www.moederallerstandpunten. be/#.
stimulating them to weigh on the political debate, and last but not least: convincing politicians of the importance to take into account the point of view of young people. Because youngsters do have political opinions! As concrete results De Ambrassade had more than 20 games sessions initiated, 70 campaign images were created with opinions of approximately 100 youngsters. Visitor numbers peeked massively on our youth information websites, especially in the days before the elections. The closing event was streamed on several big media websites and was even broadcasted on television. The event was also a trending topic on Twitter.
3.1 vertti – a peer-to-peer youth information initiative Vertti is a peer-to-peer youth information initiative, funded by a grant from the Ministry of Education, which started as a pilot project in the Turku region in 2007.
The idea was to try a new type of peer-topeer information model, and one of the objectives was to encourage and involve young people in planning and carrying out youth information activities in their school. The guiding principles were to mobilise young people’s own ideas to improve the availability of youth information at school and to develop co-operation between municipal youth workers and schools. How to become a VIO In the Vertti initiative, 13 to 16-year-old secondary school students that have volunteered to participate are trained to become peer-to-peer youth information officers (Vertti information officers, VIO). They operate in their own schools and collaborate with local youth workers and the school, improving the regional youth information and counselling services to better meet the genuine needs of young people. The number of VIOs in a school can vary between two and six, depending on the level of enthusiasm. The total number of VIOs in the Turku region each year is around sixty.
VIOs are selected by schools either at the end of the spring term or as soon as the autumn term begins. The same young people may participate throughout the secondary school. Young people may become VIOs in several different ways. Some volunteer to participate, while others join in after their teachers have encouraged them to do so. Some schools even arrange a special application process, which resembles the process of applying for a job, during which existing VIOs interview the candidates before selection. Some VIOs are also peer students in their school or belong to a municipal youth council. What VIOs do Since the Vertti initiative is a joint effort between schools and the municipal youth services, three different people need to be involved: 1) a secondary school student who wants to become a VIO; 2) a contact person at school, such as a principal, student counsellor or teacher; and 3) a youth worker who coordinates the VIOs.
make stage announcements and take care of catering for artists and VIP guests. Every year, VIOs have Christmas and spring parties where the VIOs in the region get together to have some fun: bowling, snowshoeing or something else. At the end of the spring term, VIOs get a certificate.
Achievements: After the project, the tried-and-tested initiative has become an elemental part of youth work in nine municipalities in the Turku region. The initiative is coordinated by the Youth Work Centre of the Leisure Section of the City of Turku, but cooperation in planning and implementation in the participating municipalities covers all youth workers who work as Vertti coordinators. In addition to joint meetings, the coordinators communicate with each other via e-mail and through a closed Facebook group.
Madeira, Portugal Regional Government of Madeira – Regional Service of Youth and Sport Since 2003 (first version of the program). The periodicity of the program is annual.

to the working hours of the YIC where they are placed with safeguarding of their school hours, not exceeding eight hours per day. The young participants in the Program are responsible to disseminate youth information, assist users in accessing internet and computer tools in general and help in the implementation of the activities in the YIC.
Achievements: This program gives the opportunity to the participants gain experience in a professional context and allows them to put into practice their knowledge and skills. We are currently planning empower the participants in the program in specific areas of youth information.
In 2014, we are not opening a new YIC but we are changing the location of one of them, and looking for young people where they can benefit more from their location.
In 2013, the YIC of Madeira Region provided support to 43 100 users, a number that has grown over the years and has been driving the opening of new Centres, which were three in 2003 and now, in 2014, are seven.
3.3 watch your web infoscouts “Watch your web” is a project on consumer protection oriented Youth Information and Media Literacy in social networks. It aims to sensitize youth for a responsible use of data online.
Besides an information portal, a video magazine and information brochures, the project also makes use of the Peer-toPeer approach and involves youth in the information. It organizes trainings for young people to become a so called Infoscout. The “watch your web Infoscouts” help others with using digital media in a safe and responsible way. They address problems and demonstrate safe practices. Any keen young person between 14 and 20 interested in media can become an Infoscout.
Infoscouts take on the responsibility to be available as contact persons for topics related to Internet Security at school, in youth groups and online. They are trained in the fields of “data privacy”, “Smartphone security”, “consumer protection” and “cyber mobbing” and learn methods which enable them to pass on their knowledge to others.
Achievements: Every Infoscout is obliged to organize an event on a specific subject. This can be a workshop, a presentation, a flash mob, a consultation-hour and much else. They receive and create materials for their performance with which they can inform other young people about the edited topics.
So far two three-day Workshops have taken place – one in Berlin and one in Cologne, during which 25 youngsters were trained to be “watch your web Infoscouts”. After the workshops, online meetings were offered to support and advise the young people with their projects. Some of them informed their peer-group online in social networks, others organised information events in their school. Furthermore, a group of Infoscouts was on hand for E-Mail consultation during the “European Cyber Security Month”.

It seems that everyone from parents to big companies such as Quaker are paying attention to gluten these days. With people swearing by a gluten free lifestyle for their family, it leaves some parents with questions. Should I eliminate wheat from my family’s diet? How do I know if a family member is sensitive to gluten?
Dr. Katalenas sat down with Dr. Murali Jatla, a Pediatric Gastroenterologist to answer all of your questions.
Dr. Katalenas: What is the difference between Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity?
Dr. Murali Jatla: When we do a biopsy of someone with Celiac disease, we will find inflammation of the small intestine and abnormal antibodies. The person must have the genes to go along with it and the intestine must be inflamed. In a person with gluten sensitivity, gluten may upset the stomach but there will be no inflammation. In patients with gluten sensitivity, they might find relief from their symptoms by eliminating gluten from their diet.
Dr. Katalenas: Is this a new disease or something that has surfaced in the last 10 years and we have been missing it all this time?
Dr. Murali Jatla: That is hard to know. We have reports of people diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome or spastic colon but actually Celiac disease was the source of the problem. They felt better when they eliminated gluten from their diet. There are definitely more options available gluten-free which is healthier because it forces people to eat more fruits and vegetables.
Dr. Katalenas: If someone is diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, does it make sense to eliminate gluten from their diet to see if they feel better?
Dr. Murali Jatla: I would recommend doing blood tests first and screening for Celiac disease. If we eliminate gluten from the diet before the tests are done, we might not find the Celiac disease. We then would have to instruct the patient to put gluten back in their diet for four weeks, which would make the patient miserable.
Dr. Katalenas: What is the diagnostic process like for Celiac disease?
Dr. Murali Jatla: I lean heavily on blood tests. If there is any question, I will do the gene test and the endoscopy. Most of the time, the blood test is all that is needed. For example,there is no test that proves Irritable Bowel Syndrome, so we look for the symptoms of Irritable Bowel and the things we do know how to diagnose. If we have ruled out all other possibilities, then we can say it is Irritable Bowel.
Dr. Katalenas: Are we eating too many carbohydrates in our diet?
Dr. Murali Jatla: I imagine that we eat a reasonable amount of carbs. I think one place where there is an over indulgence is soda and fructose and those types of simple sugars. As far as complex carbs, we are doing a fair job of eating a reasonable amount.
Dr. Katalenas: I see the additives in juice drinks and the high fructose corn syrup that is added everywhere. Children eat and drink a large amount of these carbs. Do you think this has anything to do with all of the stomach and intestinal issues we see in our children today?
Dr. Murali Jatla: I think sometimes we forget that too much of a good thing is not a good thing. We also take things for granted. Some things that were invented, such as sports drinks, were invented for people that expend a lot of energy and a lot of kids that are drinking them are not expending a lot of energy. They use them as their primary beverage. So whenever possible I encourage that children drink water as the primary beverage even if we have to flavor it with a sugary flavoring.
Dr. Katalenas: Often I talk to families who say all their stomach issues have gone away with a gluten-free diet and ask if they should eliminate gluten in their children’s diet. Is gluten the cause of all intestinal problems today and are probiotics the cure all?
Dr. Murali Jatla: I have an idea that gluten is just one of the culprits. Again, I think there is nothing beneficial about gluten in your diet. It is just hard to separate it from the food it is in. I think it is important that everyone knows before embarking on a gluten-free diet that it is not to be taken lightly. It is a serious decision and the primary care doctor should screen for Celiac disease before removing gluten from their diet.
Regarding probiotics, I think, again, we are eating less foods where we would normally get these things, like breast milk, yogurt and things like that. We need to incorporate those back into our diet. I think there are ways to get back to the basics without having to go out of our way to avoid things in our diet or to supplement with probiotics. I think probiotics are low risk but it requires time, effort and money and no one should take anything they don’t need. We need it in our diet but I don’t think we should supplement. I also don’t think gluten is the source of all intestinal problems and probiotics is not a cure all.
Dr. Katalenas: Can you tell us what probiotics are and what is in them?
Dr. MJ: The most common probiotic people think of, “lactobacillus” are in the active cultures that are found in yogurts and buttermilk and are starting to be fermented. There are other probiotics “acidophilus”, “florastor” and “bifidobacterium”. We think they are all sort of equivalent and are the good bacterias that we normally get in our diet, but we might be low if we don’t eat the right type of foods or if you have been on antibiotics lately. Probiotics come in tablet and powder form and are megadoses of billions and billions of these bacterias in each of these capsules. I think all brands are equivalent and can be found in grocery stores or drug stores or whatever is on sale.
Dr. Katalenas: Where can patients go for help and where do you see patients?
Dr. MJ: I see patients as part of the McLane Jones Hospital of Scott and White in Bethel, Waco, Round Rock, and I partner with seeing patients in San Marcos, Killeen and College Station Texas. Our website is www.swchildren.org.
I think some of these issues are very complicated and it’s important to find a General Provider that feels comfortable consulting about these issues and takes the time to explain the symptoms; because for a patient and parent it can be very confusing.There is a lot of advertising that is not clear and of course the doctor should be comfortable discussing the difference. Sometimes the symptoms appear subtle but there are really big differences between Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, so you need to find someone to help you navigate down that path.
Dr K: Some patients tell me that doctors act a little skeptical when dealing with digestive problems and that we are telling them it is all in their heads and acting as if they don’t really have a disease. How do you feel about this?
Dr. MJ: As a pediatric gastroenterologist I am very sympathetic when someone says “I don’t know how to explain that when I take these I feel better”. If that is the case, whether I agree or not, or support it or not, I feel it is dangerous and we need to make up any deficiencies by thinking of ways to get around that.
I am not in people’s kitchens to say you can’t do certain things. We have a dietitian that works closely with us and there are many times we try a gluten free diet or try something else if we are not one hundred percent sure or have some clue it will work. So again I think the key is not to make your life anymore restricted than it needs to be, and to know when to stop doing something, and when to say we did that long enough. I think if someone has guidance to try something for two days, two weeks or two months, and it doesn’t help we need to move on and try something else.
As in Irritable Bowel Syndrome there is definitely an emotional component associated with this. There is no doubt that there is a mind and gut connection and it is much stronger in the gastrointestinal area than in other conditions. So we try to be supportive and sympathetic and sometimes it is hard to prove some of these things. At the end of the day, our job is to give information and a lot of these conditions don’t have specific answers. A lot of it is trial and error, and some of it is what the patient feels, and we perform the tests we have at our disposal, but they don’t always answer all of of the questions. | 2019-04-23T14:29:15 | http://www.pediatriccenterofroundrock.com/celiac-disease-gluten-sensitivity/ |
I was born and raised in Traverse City, Michigan. I attended Calvin College where I earned a degree in Elementary Education. I graduated from Calvin in 2005 then moved to Arizona with my husband Hendrik (a LC grad) where I taught Kindergarten at an inner city school in Phoenix. We moved to Lynden the following year. For six years I taught both Kindergarten and First Grade at Skyline Elementary in Ferndale. In 2012 I accepted a job at Fisher Elementary where I then taught both First grade and Kindergarten for three years. I am excited and honored to have become a part of the LC community in 2015. I am grateful for the opportunity to do what I love, which is to teach children about God’s truths and who He is while discovering the talents that each one of them has been given to use for His Kingdom. I want each child who comes into my classroom to know that God has give each one of us beautiful feet. These feet will get hurt or dirty but can always be cleaned by God’s grace and mercy. God’s calls us to use our feet to serve others and bring His good news.
My husband Hendrik is a Physician Assistant in Bellingham. We have three beautiful daughters: Caitlin, Katherine, and Megan. We are active members at Sonlight Community Church where we have long served as youth leaders. Our family enjoys spending time in God’s creation by hiking, running, and camping. | 2019-04-20T01:14:48 | http://www.lyncs.org/staff/sarah-kok |

In this article, we will be going over what the best muscle building exercises are, based on how efficient they are, the risk versus the reward ratio, as well as the lifting experience that is necessary to complete each exercise safely to build muscles.
We will sort the exercises by muscle group, and explain the safest way to complete each workout. The different moves and styles of exercises for those who are new weight lifting, as well as those who are advanced weightlifters will also be detailed.
This article should be a guide to help you take your workouts to the next level, and to show you what the best bodybuilding movements for men are in order to stay healthy, and bulk up.
On the right side of the page you can find a great infographic that puts everything together.
Your chest is one of the most defining features of any man. It is important that you use weight training workouts to build up your chest to its full potential.
For the beginning weightlifter, who does not have the experience or the strength yet, the most effective workouts are dumbbell bench presses.
Dumbbell bench presses are easy to learn and do not require a lot of equipment. You must lie down on a flat bench, and hold a dumbbell in each of your hands, resting on either side of your shoulders. You then lift up, hold, and then come back down.
Watch the video how to do it.
For the more experienced weightlifter, the best weightlifting exercises will be the pec deck. Many people call it the butterfly, and can be done with machines at the gym, or on your own with free weights.
Hold your weights in your hands and spread your arms to their maximum wingspan, and then bring your arms together in front of you, repeating as necessary.
The best muscle building exercises for biceps are similar for both experienced and inexperienced lifters. The biggest difference will be whether you complete the exercise with free weights or not, and how much weight you choose to use for this training.
Curls are one of the best ways for anyone to build muscle. You can do cable curls on the machines at the gym, or you can use free weights, dumbbells are recommended.
Take the weight in your hand, and extend your arm, holding the weight palm up. Bring your arm back up to your shoulder, and repeat as necessary.
For those who have not had a lot of experience lifting weights, you should use lighter weights, and do fewer repetitions. For those who have more experience and more strength, you can use heavier weights and complete more repetitions.
Now You Can Have Powerful Workouts at Home… Even If You Have No Space!
If you want to build massive arms, you should not forget about your triceps. This muscles group is the largest one on your arms, and it takes place in a lot of exercises. Hence, it is crucial to strengthen it.
The best triceps exercises are dips for mass and strength. For muscle definition and strength, I prefer the exercises with dumbbells, but cable moves are also beneficial.
Many people think that there is no need to train the forearms since they are engaged in triceps and biceps exercises. However, a strong grip is crucial to perform moves likes deadlift, pull ups and other exercises with free weights correctly and efficiently. In addition, huge forearms look great.
Bodyweight exercises such as pull ups and chin ups strengthen the lower arm and grip efficiently but there some unique workouts with free weights as well.
Getting six pack abs is one of the biggest dreams of men. However, it is not mainly about the abdominal workouts you do, but your nutrition. If your stomach is covered with fat, you can only get rid of it by being on a proper diet. Cardio workouts can also help to burn more calories.
Moreover, most of the people do abs exercises that are inefficient such as simple crunches and a lot of sets and reps. Quality is more important than quantity. Exercises such as various hanging leg raise, bicycle crunches, and stability ball moves can bring far better results.
When looking at the best exercises to gain muscle, you cannot ignore your legs and thighs. Focusing on the upper body is easy, but you must never forget to also include exercises that work your lower body as well. Squat and its variations are vital exercises to build muscle since they have an effect on the entire body.
The best exercise for thighs for beginners is goblet squats. To complete a goblet squat, hold a kettlebell with both hands, and hold it at the top of your chest. Spread your legs apart, and squat down, still holding the kettlebell at your chest. Repeat this move as necessary.
For more experienced weightlifters, the split squat is one of the best ways to continue thigh muscle growth. For this exercise, place one of your legs on a flat bench, and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Then, bend the standing knee down, bringing your body down while keeping the weights at your side, and one leg still on the bench. Bring yourself back up, and repeat necessary, always remembering to switch legs and do the same repetitions on each side.
To complete the look and the feel of a well-muscled man, you will need to work out the muscles on your back, and your mid back in particular. This will help you appear more balanced, as well as feel more balanced.
The best workout for beginning weightlifters to work this part of the body are the rack pulls, which are also known as partial deadlifts and pin pulls.
To complete this move, set up your power rack, and place the bar on the pins. Position yourself in a deadlift position, and place your hands at a shoulder’s width apart on the bar. Face forward, and pull up until you are standing upright. Return the bar, and repeat as necessary. This will help you build up your back muscle, and create a stronger foundation for continuing to weight lift.
If you are looking for more of a challenge and are not new to weightlifting, rows will be the best move for you. You can complete either dumbbell, barbell or cable rows, whichever is your preference.
To complete a dumbbell row, you will need a flat bench and two dumbbells. Place one leg on the end of the bench, keeping your upper body parallel to the floor. Use your right hand to hold yourself on the flat, and with your right hand, pick up the dumbbell from the floor, and lift so that your angle makes a 90-degree angle. Lower your arm back down, and repeat as you desire.
Do You Want to Set Up Your Home Gym?
Along with your mid back, your shoulders are the basis of much of your weightlifting. Whether you are a newcomer or a pro, you should make sure to add muscle building exercises that focus on your shoulders.
One of the best ways to begin, for either beginners or veteran weight lifters, is with reverse flyes.
For this exercise, you will want an incline bench and two dumbbells. Lay flat on the incline bench, holding the dumbbells in your hands in front of you with your arms straight ahead. Extend your arms perpendicular to your body, holding the pose for several seconds. Return your arms in front of you, and repeat as often as you want.
To differentiate for beginners versus professionals, you can add and remove the weight that you use for the move. Beginners should not use heavy weight when they first start out, and slowly add more weight as you gain strength and more experience.
Now you know the best exercises for building muscle. Includes these moves into your workout plan.
Keep in mind that your muscles develop when they rest so let them time to recover, especially if your are a beginner.
Furthermore, proper nutrition is critical as well. You need to consume more protein each they to feed your muscles and not just by consuming various supplements. A nutritious eating plan with real foods is vital for health.
Here are the best tips on this topic.
Proven methods to get the muscle you always wanted.
Can you suggest a mass building workout?
Sure! Here are few routines that I have tried and worked for me.
This workout is designed to increase your muscle mass as much as possible in 10 weeks. Works each muscle group hard once per week using mostly heavy compound exercises.

The BED|STÜ team recently traveled to the Marche District to collaborate and work with the following local artisans to proudly bring you our BED|STÜ Italian collection. Read more about their travels below.
The tranquil rolling hills of the Marche district is one of our favorite places in the world. Here, old world traditions and the importance of family are treasured: From the handmade pastas now sold all over the world, to cottage wineries that supply neighbors and local restaurants in the area with wine. Rustic farmhouses are transformed into family restaurants serving up the best Italian food, this pocket in Italy is simply magical.
This area is also known for where some of the best Italian shoes are made.
Meet the Lupetti’s – a small family, where dad is the gentle and creative artisan that transforms leather into works of art in his shoe making. Warmhearted mama, aunt and son are the production team and their lovely daughter runs the business side of the operation.
We also met Marco, an ambitious young man who grew up making handmade shoes. He decided to start his own shop by convincing his father who worked all his life as a cobbler, to mentor and work with him. Together, they bring old world experience, business savvy and exuberance.
We were excited to meet Roberto and Paolo, whose grandfather raised a family and would travel from home-to-home to individually custom make each shoe based on the persons foot. The tradition of handmade shoes was passed onto the dad and his two sons. They now honor their grandfathers craft of handmade shoes.
Lastly, meet Renzo’s family, an extended family of shoemakers, whose sons grew up riding horses and making shoes. They now make some of the best shoes in the industry that are all handcrafted. They have raised the bar on handmade shoes and they now bringing up the next generation of shoemakers.
Honoring the craft is one of the core beliefs at BED|STÜ. Here in the Marche district, one can feel the old world traditions of and the respect for the traditional cobbler craft. Marche, is a shoe lovers heaven on earth. | 2019-04-25T22:51:29 | https://blog.bedstu.com/bedstu-visits-the-marche-district/ |
i can't say enough wonderful things about this couple. I absolutely love my time before the big day to spend time photographing the couple together. These two are so sweet to one another, have so much fun, and really are perfect together!
here's a few from our evening together all around zumbrota, Minnesota area!
i LOVE their boots. they look so cute!
we were walking around Kelsey's parent's farm, and came across these old frames, and we used them for lots of silly (and adorable) faces!
Okay i have to explain this one with the cows. i've never seen this before when photographing on a farm. they all came up to a gate and just stared, so we decided we had to get one since they obviously wanted to be photographed too!
those are just a few of my favorites, there were so many sweet moments i just had to share! I can't wait to see their beautiful wedding day, and to be a part of it! congratulations Ty and Kelsey! | 2019-04-20T01:22:46 | http://www.davistaphotography.com/blog/2013/5/28/minnesota-farm-engagement-kelsey-and-ty.html |
Confident machine operation starts with precise machine control enabled by the 815K's load sensing hydraulic steering system.
The 815K is specifically designed and made with purpose built structures to remain safe and durable for the long run. Advanced design, materials and robotic welding contribute to increased durability and overall machine strength.
The Cat C7.1 ACERT engine is designed for maximum fuel efficiency and increased power density. Two engine options are available to meet Tier 4 Final/Stage IV or Tier 3/Stage IIIA equivalent emission standards. This engine features innovative Cat electronics, fuel injection process, air-management systems and aftertreatment solution with Cat Selective Catalytic Reduction. While in operation, the aftertreatment will be seamless to the operator thanks to the passive regeneration system which is utilized.
Cat engines equipped with an SCR system inject DEF into the exhaust to reduce NOx emissions. DEF is a precisely mixed solution of 32.5% high purity chemical grade urea and 67.5% de-ionized water. DEF used in Cat SCR systems must meet the requirements outlined in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 22241-1.
Cat injection timing precisely controls the fuel injection process through a series of carefully timed microbursts, providing more control of combustion for the cleanest, most efficient fuel burn. On the 815K the high pressure common rail fuel systems boost performance and reduce soot for the C7.1 ACERT engine.
The modified chevron tamping wheel tip design provides greater ground pressure, more compaction, excellent traction and a smooth ride.
Compaction is achieved from the bottom of the lift to the top. The tapered tips walk out of the lift without “fluffing” the soil. The top of the lift is compacted and the surface is relatively smooth and sealed so hauling units are able to maintain a high speed when traveling over the fill. The 815K travel speed allows four forces of compaction: pressure, manipulation, impact and vibration. Since the 815K can also spread fill, the number of spreader tractors may be able to be reduced.
Equal compaction in forward or reverse is the result of the symmetrical tamping tip pattern. Tips are full perimeter and replaceable. The tip is welded to a base assembly, which then is welded directly to the drum.
Each wheel has two cleaner bars to keep the drums free of carryover dirt, regardless of rolling direction so efficiency is maximized. Cleaner bars are available with standard or abrasive tips depending upon the application.
The adjustable cleaner bar tips are heat-treated and direct hardened, cutting edge steel to increase wear life, which translates into lower operating costs.
COMPACT technologies combine advanced compaction measurement, in-cab guidance and reporting capabilities to help you consistently meet compaction targets fast, uniformly, and in fewer passes – saving on fuel and the cost of unnecessary rework.
The factory Cat Compaction Control system uses Machine Drive Power (MDP) technology to measure rolling resistance and correlates it with soil stiffness. MDP works in both cohesive or granular soils. Optional 3D mapping system maps compaction measurements to the precise location the operator is working, providing a real-time view of progress, and a record of compaction uniformity.
DETECT technologies help keep people and equipment safe by enhancing operator awareness of the work area around working equipment and by monitoring and reporting unsafe conditions, like avoidance zones.
The 815K is an efficient, productive machine that's designed to conserve our natural resources for generations ahead.
The 815K is built to be rebuilt with major structures and components capable of being remanufactured to reduce waste and replacement costs.
We can help you succeed by ensuring your 815K has design features to reduce your downtime.
Reduce downtime with VIMS™ system notifications so your operators and technicians can resolve any problems before failure. | 2019-04-24T07:05:52 | https://www.cat.com/en_US/products/new/equipment/compactors/soil-compactors/1000008886.html |
It was a real privilege to be part of this trip with dolphins swimming under and around the bow of the boat.

I’m nearly in tears writing this. No really. You’re one month already? Where did that month go? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was still pregnant with you wondering when you’d make your appearance. Wondering what you’d look like. Now I know! You have the most perfect little nose ever. You have my lips and I love it when you smile! Your face is adorable, even when you’re upset. I can’t get over how cute you are and that you’re all mine!
Things you love: momma and daddy snuggles, kicking, back time, napping, staring at faces, smiling, and bath time. You love to be clean, whether it’s bath time or just changing your diaper. You love it. I hope you continue to love that! You like it when daddy does bicycles to help you get gas relief (poor little one!). Life as a one month old seems pretty sweet to you!
Things we love about you: of course we love the snuggles! I love how alert you are and how you love staring at me. I love how you try to talk to me, but can’t, and only get a few sounds out. I love how you sometimes just need to snuggle to calm down. I love your smiles and how you smile at me when you realize it’s me. I love the noises you make. I love it when you start to wake up. Your eyes open and close and your face starts twitching. You smile occasionally. It’s the cutest thing! I love it when you laugh in your sleep. It’s adorable! Your daddy loves to come home from work and snuggle you. He loves telling you about his day and talking to you about yours. Your daddy really loves you and it’s so cute! I love that you can recognize my voice and face. I love being your momma.
Really, this month has gone by so fast. I really wish I could slow time down. Everyone warned me about how they ‘grow up too fast’. I believe them now. My little momma heart is so full and happy. I love being your momma and I love our family. You really made my heart grow bigger with love when I first saw you. You’ve changed my life for the better and I can’t imagine it without you. I am so excited to watch you grow. To teach you. To be there for you.
Grow, little one, and be healthy. But don’t grow too quickly. My little momma heart can’t take it. You’re amazing. I’ll love you forever. I’ll like you for always. As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be. | 2019-04-25T04:36:08 | https://alydawnphotography.com/letters-to-my-little-one-1-month-old/ |

Saskatchewan Polytechnic student, Blossom Lamalice knows that when you love something, you take care of it.
“Everybody loves their lakes and they want them to be here for future generations. If we start taking care of them now, they will be here for many years to come,” she says.
Lamalice is currently in her second year in the Integrated Resource Management diploma program, which is part of Sask Polytech’s school of Natural Resources and Built Environment. She is passionate about the future of Canada’s waterways and spearheads the Love Your Lakes applied research project in Saskatchewan.
The project examines the sediment, vegetation and other features of various shorelines to assess the current environmental state and ultimately provides a report to property owners.
Funded by the North Saskatchewan River Basin Council, the District of Lakeland and Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Sustainability Initiative Fund (SIF), the program and associated applied research consists of a packaged shoreline evaluation and stewardship program.
“My personal hope is to see people have a better understanding of their shoreline and realize how they can improve certain things,” says Lamalice.
For Natural Resources and Built Environment instructor, David Halstead being able to provide students with applied research opportunities, such as the Love Your Lakes project is an exceptional learning opportunity that’s hard to find in other post-secondary institutions.

On Thursday, President Trump announced his administration’s intent to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, even though to do so sets the country against literally every other country on the planet outside of Syria.
Nicaragua is the only other country besides Syria to have not signed onto the deal, but it’s because they want a stricter agreement. President Trump, on the other hand, wants a deal that’s “better for American businesses,” even if that means sacrificing progress forward on stopping climate change.
Unsurprisingly, Trump garnered a significant bit of support from the core of his base, meaning people like Mike Pence and Trump’s son Eric.
Surely to cast it in light of the President’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Accord, Eric Trump highlighted a Thursday news story on his Twitter account stating that the stock market had just closed at a record high.
As some sort of demented, childish form of approval seeking behavior, the President himself retweeted this early Friday, and unsurprisingly, the comments calling out the Trumps for cackling about a stock market bump while pulling out of efforts to keep the planet from destruction poured in.
For what it’s worth, the presently underway economic growth began under Obama.
Check out some of the best replies to the above tweet below.
It wasn't even related, yet another trump lie!!!
It won't work!This is making us even stronger and more determined to get you all for treason and more!You won't like the stripe suit!No tie!
America has become a laughing stock on every level, champ.
yeah, Obama set you guys up pretty well!

Are you Suburban Woman, loving but exasperated owner of Fido and Fifi? Does your home seem like the 5th at Santa Anita every time the doorbell rings? Wouldn't it be wonderful if your dog actually moved away from the door when the doorbell rang rather than crowd you for a position to greet, or "eat", the people on the other side? Wouldn't you love to have a dog that sits, lies down, or even runs to another room when the doorbell rings-instead of all the embarrassing things your dog currently does?
Many dog owners complain that their dogs steal food from kitchen counters or even the dinner table. A new term was even coined to describe this behavior: counter-surfing. If you're tired of losing your dinner to a sneaky pooch every time you turn your back, here's what you can do about it.
Editor’s note: Dogs are relinquished to shelters for many reasons. People move, have a new baby, get divorced, lose their homes. | 2019-04-21T14:34:56 | https://clickertraining.com/taxonomy/term/1?page=4 |

Chief Outsiders Fractional CMO, Neil Anderson, has a conversation with Vistage Member and President of Linx Multimedia, Travis Deatherage, about his experience with Vistage, an executive coaching organization that provides leadership training and business coaching to CEOs and Executives.
I grew up in Fairfax, Virginia and went to college at Virginia Tech. After school, I moved back to the DC area and I worked for Bell Atlantic, which was the phone company at the time. Now it all rolls up into Verizon.
I always wanted to live in Colorado. I had come out here skiing many times as a kid. It had pretty much always been my passion and goal to get to Colorado. The first job I had out of college was not the career I wanted so the move was set in motion. I moved out with three other friends from back east. The debate was – do we move to the mountains and become ski bums or do we move to Denver and get real jobs? Fortunately, the job market was good so we decided to settle in Denver and have fun on the weekends. I now live in Denver with my wife and two kids.
What was your path to success?
I worked in telecommunications and IT services from 1997 until 2002. In 2002, after the Dotcom bubble burst, I decided to start my own business and Solstice Multimedia was born. I tried to take what I had learned from the Dotcom world where there was very heavy venture capital investment presence and apply it to my new business. I wanted to do something simpler that required no venture capital money to start up.
I started out by doing automation systems for custom homes, which leveraged my IT services background and my passion for audio visual systems. We were doing home theaters and whole house automation and trying to bring our commercial experience to the residential market from 2002 - 2011. Then in 2008, when the housing market turned, we really flipped our business model to focus on commercial businesses instead of residential projects.
In 2011, I met the founders of Linx, which is the company I am a part of now. We merged our company into Linx and I took over running the AV division within the company. Since 2011, Linx has grown the business from 30 to over 100 employees in the AV division. We have had 20% YOY growth over the last six years as well.
Linx has three lines of business: structured cabling, multimedia systems and security solutions. The part of the business that I run is called Linx Multimedia and we focus on providing solutions that help businesses present, collaborate and communicate internally and externally. We provide everything from microphones, TVs, projectors, to video conferencing systems and other collaboration tools to allow them to locally communicate but also communicate across the world.
We serve mostly Colorado businesses but 10 to 15 percent of our work is national. This area of our business is growing rapidly. A lot of it originates as a customer out of Denver and we end up going national with them to other offices. Currently we have about 1,500 projects per year. They can range from $1,000 per project to a couple million dollars.
I was familiar with other smaller CEO peer groups but they weren’t as formalized as Vistage. When I got to Linx, I was talking to our CEO who was already a Vistage member and he suggested that I take a look at the organization. I was impressed because I thought that it was a much stronger organization with more structure and a lot more value than some of the other groups that I had explored previously.
I have been a member for five and a half years. I started attending meetings pretty quickly after joining Linx.
Can you tell me about Member Guest Days?
These happen two or three times a year and we bring folks from our company to the speakers when the topic is relevant.
What are the two greatest values Vistage offers you?
The top value that I get out of Vistage is about better decision making for me and my business. Since joining, I think that I make better decisions that have higher impact on the business. I am now able to make them with higher confidence and at a faster pace.
I think that a lot of these smart decision-making skills were acquired in my Vistage small group. This includes the group helping me process the issue and the support, questions, understanding, and idea challenging that the group provides. In doing so, it makes you find more depth to an issue. You also might uncover false barriers that you might be creating for yourself and learn how to work through those. I think this has a massive impact on my business in terms of staffing, supporting our customers and growing sales.
The value of the speakers is also tremendous. You are exposed to high-quality presenters, trainers, and business philosophers. There is the opportunity not only for the value of that first meeting, but also to bring the speakers back to our company for extended trainings, workshops and events. In these meetings, we have been able to go deeper with the content that the speaker might bring.
Certainly one of the biggest challenges for our business is that we do custom integration. I have a number of manufacturers in our Vistage group and I naively thought, what do I have in common with these manufacturers?
Two years ago, after listening to their business practices, we decided to try a manufacturers approach to custom integration development. We spent a lot of time with the manufacturing members gaining insights from them on how to manage and execute a manufacture style process. In doing so, we have probably reduced our time on a client sight by 30-40%. We are seeing a cost savings of 20-30% in how we execute our projects. I think this really sets the groundwork for future scalability.
It sounds like you spend a lot of time talking through issues and opportunities as a group. Have you benefitted specifically from any peer relationships?
How do you see the ROI?
I think it is 10x return every year. It is not inexpensive to join Vistage but I can easily say I return 10x the value in our bottom line profit above what it costs me to be a Vistage member.
Who is your current chair and what are the one-to-one meetings like?
Sam Allen has been my chair since the beginning. When I joined Vistage, I was under the impression that Sam was there to give advice so I would often ask him what I should do. I have learned over time that he is actually there to ask the right questions and get me to think. He acts as a coach, not an advisor, and is really there to facilitate the conversation and my thinking and to help hold me accountable instead of telling me what I should do.
What speakers have you seen that really resonated with you?
There are two speakers that come to mind that had a great impact on our business.
The first is Brad Remillard from IMPACT Hiring Solutions. He has a workshop on how to hire, interview, set expectations and write cohesive job postings. He also touches on how to develop a plan for someone to be successful in a job. His workshop completely changed how we interview and recruit. We have done a much better job finding people who will be successful in our environment.
The second speaker that had a great impact on our company was Agnes Mura, who did a workshop called “Leadership as a Coach”. This program changed how we interact with our employees and give them the tools to grow.
You are going to get out of it what you put into it. Every business owner that is interested in bettering their business, being more sustainable or growing their business should consider joining. You must be willing to be open and humble and then you will benefit tremendously from the Vistage experience. | 2019-04-19T11:17:10 | https://www.chiefoutsiders.com/blog/develop-decision-making-skills |
Gala Deluxe had the opportunity to participate in the Luxe Pack Convention in Los Angeles just last week (2/27-2/28). Our company has been in the packaging industry for 15 years, and we have had experience in a variety of industries such as food, toys, cosmetic jewelry, electronics, stationery packaging, and so much more.
During the convention, people that stopped by our booth loved the magnetic business card holder we were giving away. The business card holder has customized foiling with our brand and logo on it. This black little box is simple, small, chic, yet useful at the same time. The Gladys Tamez Millnery folding rigid box was also very eye catching to many people as it was big and sturdy. There is a silky black ribbon as a handle that closes the box. The box was also designed to be compact and fold-able. The advantage of it being fold-able is that clients get more quantity with a lower shipping cost.
There were many people looking for rigid boxes and luxury packaging at the convention, which we provide and allow customization to your liking. We have our own in-house designer to assist clients with their graphics layout from subscription boxes to luxury packaging for various products. | 2019-04-23T22:25:06 | http://design.galadeluxe.com/tag/convention |
Authorities in northern Chiang Rai province began the risky mission to bring out the 12 boys and their coach earlier on Sunday.
An ambulance carries one of the boys rescued from Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Thailand.
Volunteers outside the cave in Chiang Rai cheered as news of the first boy rescued on Monday emerged.
Officials said that rescue operations could continue for two to four more days. The search and rescue operation has involved dozens of worldwide experts and rescuers, including a USA military team.
"I would like to inform the public at home and those who have been giving us support all along, after 16 days, today's the day we've been waiting for, we are seeing the Wild Boars in the flesh now".
Authorities on Monday confirmed that water inflows into the cave remained at controllable levels while drainage efforts continued.
A spokesman for Musk's Boring Co. tunneling unit, which has four engineers at the cave, has said Thai officials requested the device, which could potentially help the children through narrow, flooded cave passageways. The scheduled time was advanced from Monday night to race against time.
"When everything was taken into account, including a forecast of possible rain, the water level and the physical health of those involved, the operation was advanced 4-5 hours".
The operation to rescue the Thai football team trapped in a cave has begun this morning.
"We have more operating personnel". But she added she was happy at the prospect of seeing her son again. Still, they were undergoing medical checks in a hospital and were not yet allowed close contact with relatives due to fear of infections, who were able to see them through a glass partition. He said rescuers told the parents that the "strongest children" would be brought out first.
Sunday's "masterpiece" three-and-a-half-hour mission saw four children being calmly guided to safety after 15 days of being stuck in their fetid underground prison.
When Sgt. -Maj. Saman Gunan, a former Thai navy Seal, died while laying oxygen tanks along the route out of the cave, people grieved and became fearful about what could lie ahead for the team. Moreover, not all the boys know how to swim, let alone dive underwater.
Lastly came Pipat Bodhu, 15, aka Nick, who was not even in the team but came along as a friend of the goalkeeper.
The toughest part of the route is a section at nearly halfway called "T-Junction", which due to its narrowness causes divers to remove their air tanks to fit through.
The names of the rescued boys have not been released out of respect for the families whose sons were still inside, and they have not been reunited with their own families, he added.
