 to know your brand and the message you’re trying to communicate, then use their training and expertise to create marketing materials that make your business stand out.
Unlike an agency, when you work directly with a designer on your own, you get an additional level of control. You can look through portfolios yourself and find someone whose style you like. You can even initiate a brief phone call in which you get a feel for whether you’re work well together.
How do you find a great designers? Start by browsing portfolios and look for someone whose style matches your preferences. You’ll be able to ask for project quotes and compare rates to see who will best fit inside your design budget.
A second option is to work with several designers at once by launching a design contest on 99designs. After you post your project, multiple designers will submit their concepts based on your design needs. Then, you select your favorite! This is a great way to collaborate with a variety of designers so you can find the perfect one for you and start building an ongoing working relationship.
As you start searching for freelance graphic designers, you’ll likely notice costs are all over the board, even when you’re pricing the same type of item with multiple freelance designers on the same site.
Once you get a few quotes, start a conversation with your potential freelancers and ask lots of questions so you can understand exactly how much your design will cost and how your money is being spent.
How long do you estimate this design will take?
What will the review schedule look like?
What is included with the project rate?
*Please note that these are only rate estimates. Freelance designers are able to charge whatever they’d like for their work, so you may find rates outside of these ranges.
Many freelancers charge by the hour—especially for ongoing creative work like social media posts, digital ads or emails. When you see an hourly rate, keep in mind that freelancers take on the full responsibility of running a business, including healthcare, equipment and marketing.
Other freelancers charge a one-off fee per project—usually for projects that have a clear beginning and end. Think a logo, business card, flyer or template. This means you’ll get a flat fee for your design rather than a surprise invoice for 20 hours once it’s complete.
Freelancers typically have a rate structure they prefer, but ask questions and negotiate with your designer to come to a rate that works (and makes sense) for both of you.
The more you know about how much you can spend on design, the easier it will be to find a designer who can work within your budget. Whether you choose to buy all your design in one month or spread it out over months or years, once you’ve found a good designer, hopefully you’ll be able to keep that person around for affordable, high-quality design work whenever you need it.

Antibiotics are screened for any negative effects on humans or other mammals before approval for clinical use, and are usually considered safe and most are well tolerated. However, some antibiotics have been associated with a range of adverse side effects. Side-effects range from mild to very serious depending on the antibiotics used, the microbial organisms targeted, and the individual patient. Side effects may reflect the pharmacological or toxicological properties of the antibiotic or may involve hypersensitivity reactions or anaphylaxis. Safety profiles of newer drugs are often not as well established as for those that have a long history of use. Adverse effects range from fever and nausea to major allergic reactions, including photodermatitis and anaphylaxis. Common side-effects include diarrhea, resulting from disruption of the species composition in the intestinal flora, resulting, for example, in overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria, such as Clostridium difficile. Antibacterials can also affect the vaginal flora, and may lead to overgrowth of yeast species of the genus Candida in the vulvo-vaginal area. Additional side-effects can result from interaction with other drugs, such as elevated risk of tendon damage from administration of a quinolone antibiotic with a systemic corticosteroid. Some scientists have hypothesized that the indiscriminate use of antibiotics alter the host microbiota and this has been associated with chronic disease.

What besides the individual patient is targeted when antibiotics is being used?

Share the post "Album review: COCO MONTOYA – Songs From The Road"
Coco Montoya’s ‘Songs From The Road’ stands or falls by his record company’s claim that it transports you to the front of the crowd at his two appearances at The Triple Door in Seattle.
Happily this double live album does precisely that, as Coco has the engaging personality, ringing guitar tone and road drilled band to bring to life the narratives and melodies of his songs, and for the rest he lets his guitar do the talking.
The songs form a crucial a backbone to a set in which the solos and instrumentation supports rather than dominates the material. The former Albert Collins and John Mayall’s Bluesbeaker undoubtedly has blues running though his veins, but he’s also a writer who is perpetually in search of a melody to suit his tone.
And the fact that he’s also branched out to collaborate with the likes of Little Feat’s Paul Barrere, bluesman Doug McLeod and The Hawks’ David Sleen, suggests he’s restless in his desire to nail the perfect blues song.
‘Songs From The Road’ is a fine recording on which producer Jim Gaines probably didn’t have to work too hard on the sequencing as the balance of the album mirrors Coco’s live set.
Coco opens with a homage to his former employer on Albert Collins, on ‘I Got A Mind To Travel’ – as with many of AC’s songs, it was actually written by his wife Gwendolyn – but the tone and sustain are unmistakeably Coco’s take on Albert.
‘Hey Senorita’ employs a similar strident tone, but is framed by a Latino feel, while the soulful ballad ‘Too Much Water’ is the first of two co-writes with Doug McLeod, which much like the later ‘Good Days Bad Days’, finds him unafraid to share his emotions, via a heartfelt vocal and weepy toned solo.
Coco also tells us that the mighty shuffle ‘Love Chair’ is actually written for Albert Collins, and he again indulges in subtly crafted sustain and a ringing tone over a cool band accompaniment.
He swaps tones again on the funky groove of the Montoya/Barrere composition ‘Don’t Go Making Plans’, which slips into jam mode over a metronomic pulse, punctuated with bass accents.
It takes maturity, style and an unbreakable belief in the songs to pull off a gig like this. At various points in the night Coco brings his crowd to a hushed silence, before ultimately stoking the fire and bringing them back to fever pitch, as he puts the emphasis on the harmonies and the hook of ‘I Want It All Back’.
The subsequent 3 song encore starts in a surprisingly laid back style, as Coco unusually plays slide on ‘You’d Think I’d Know Better By Now’. But for all the restraint, polish and feel, he finally heads for a climactic finish with the magnificent ‘My Side Of The Fence’, a mega shuffle with magical guitar work and inspired band interplay.

According to the United States National Institutes of Health, the medical community places the cause of diabetes as a genetic disease. People who have two copies of the defective gene, known as DKC6T, for insulin-dependent diabetes, also referred to as “wild type”, are at a higher risk of developing the disease than those who have just one copy of the gene.
As a person’s age increases, his or her risk of diabetes increases, as does the number of dysfunctional genes. The body’s inability to produce insulin can lead to the production of excessive glucose in the blood.
In fact, the primary cause of diabetes is not yet known. There are many theories as to how diabetes develops, and one of the most likely explanations is the presence of unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as eating too much sugar or fat, lack of exercise
