We work hard to nurture a positive, engaging workplace.
Troy, MI (PRWEB) August 30, 2016
Billhighway takes the cake with a fourth win of Crain's Cool Places to Work in Michigan, building on previous wins in 2011, 2012, and 2014. This is their second workplace award this year, further validating that the innovative HR practices in place are working to build and maintain a fun and engaging culture.
Crain's Cool Places to Work collaborates with the Best Companies Group, a Pennsylvania-based research facility, to gather data and conduct surveys on each organization. The assessment is twofold: one part collects information from the employer on its perks and policies, while the other part surveys the actual employees. The findings are weighted with seventy-five percent based on employee feedback and twenty-five percent based on employer response, then used to determine the overall organization rankings, which are divided into three categories based on organization size. Companies are subsequently given the results, so they can strive to improve any workplace weaknesses and build upon strengths. This year, Billhighway ranked 19th in its category.
Attracting and retaining talent is a never-ending concern of companies everywhere. That's why Billhighway has upped the ante with its Team Member Success (Human Resources) team, which focuses on creating an environment that stimulates results by powering the team with HR programs and practices that are meaningful to them. They believe strong communication and transparency is the key to a successful culture. Brenda Gallick, Director of Team Member Success at Billhighway stated, "We believe dialogue with our team members should be a two-way street. Therefore, we focus our time and efforts on finding out what our team members really care about. We work hard to nurture a positive, engaging workplace." To facilitate this, they have installed an anonymous suggestion box where team members can submit ideas for improvement. A few of the cool things that Billhighway has implemented based upon team member feedback include Flex Fridays, where team members are allowed to work four ten-hour days and take Friday off in order to better enjoy the few short months of summer. The company also recently introduced a Family Flex Policy to make it easier for new parents to transition back into their position. When hearing about the new policy, Michael Medonis, a Client Relations Consultant at Billhighway stated, "I am thrilled to have this flexibility with the upcoming addition to my family. It means a lot to me to work for a company that recognizes the value of work life balance and family life." In addition, stand-up desks and posture balls were not only great suggestions, but helped to improve overall workplace wellness.
A shared passion for doing good and making a difference is a big part of what is important to Billhighway team members. The company takes this to heart by providing paid time off to volunteer in the community, bringing volunteer projects on-site, and incorporating charitable giving in their everyday programs and events. Incorporating a charitable aspect into their annual Billhighway Olympics competition (a team member favorite), allowed the winning team to choose a charity to which they could donate their first place cash prize. Knowing that time is precious to their team members, they also bring local volunteer activities on-site, where the entire team can get involved. Recently, they packed seeds for Keep Growing Detroit and hygiene kits for Common Group Sanctuary. Every year, Billhighway hosts a Bring Your Kids to Work Day, where they work to inspire the same passion for doing good in the next generation.
Billhighway not only understands the importance of keeping their team members happy, but also recognizes their need for growth and development in their careers. In response to that, Team Member Success went to work on developing the Billhighway Academy, a program that mentors junior developers and teaches them coding skills, as well as creating a career development and mentor program. The program includes many different paths, ranging from improving technical expertise to learning leadership skills required for a new role. In an effort to encompass their Customer Commitment 365 play (core value), they added a Training Certification Program that addresses the company's need for scalability and knowledge transfer. At Billhighway there is no shortage of benefits, making it one cool place to work.

CLIFF WALKExperience Cliff Walk as this 3.5-mile path that traces the edge of the sea and is one of the most beloved "things to do" throughout New England. Whether you're a casual walker, a mansion gawker, a long-distance runner, a hobby photographer, a dog walker or an international jetsetter, you'll fall in love with this awe-inspiring place. 2. FORT ADAMSThough home to the world renowned Newport Folk Festival, Newport Jazz Festival, premier sailing events and killer views of Newport Harbor, Fort Adams State Park is also home to Fort Adams, the largest coastal fortification in the U.S. Step back in time as you trek the maze of underground tunnels and visit the quarters where officers and their families lived more than a century ago. Here you'll find over 180 years of American history and military culture all within the walls of this architectural and engineering feat. 3. MANSIONSSee more than a dozen legendary mansions and get an insider's look at how America's wealthiest Gilded Age families spent their summers. The Breakers (famous for being the grand Vanderbilt home), Rosecliff(The Great Gatsby starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow was filmed here) and Rough Point (the home of Doris Duke) are just some highlights. Don't forget Bristol's stunning Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum and historic Linden Place. 4. EAST BAY BIKE PATHWhether you walk, run, bike or snowshoe all or part of the scenic 14.5 mile Easy Bay Bike Path, you're in for a treat. Extending from Bristol to Providence, this wide, welcoming and unobstructed path weaves through coves and marshes, over bridges and through gorgeous Colt State Park. 5. SAILINGReady? Set? SAIL! Some accuse Newporters of having saltwater running through their veins and as the sailing capital of the world, it might just be true. Sailing is part of the very fabric of this coastal city. Race on an authentic America's Cup-winning 12 meter yacht, sit back on an impressive 70+ foot three-masted schooner, sip local libations on a lobster boat, get cozy on a sleek sailboat—get your sea legs on the vessel that's just right for you. 6. BEACHESRhode Island might be the smallest state in the U.S. but it touts more than 400 miles of spectacular coastline, with much of it in Newport and Bristol counties. Visit our Beaches page for the scoop on what each distinct seashore offers. 7. CULINARY HOT SPOTOur destination has earned its enviable reputation as a culinary hot spot. Local chefs celebrate the local dining experience, working with area farmers, foragers and fishermen so they can compose dishes highlighting seasonal ingredients, so eat your heart out! 8. MUSICThere's a reason why legendary artists including Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Judy Garland, Johnny Cash, Joan Baez, The Allman Brothers and other beloved musicians consider Newport hallowed ground. Our Newport Folk Festival and Newport Jazz Festival can both be considered the brass ring of music festivals. 9. NATURAL WONDERSExplore our natural wonders including hundreds of acres of protected habitat, miles and miles of bucolic trails and places like Hanging Rock, where American author, poet, philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau found inspiration. Norman Bird Sanctuary alone boasts 325 acres and seven miles of trails that wind through diverse habitats. 10. SHOULDER SEASONThe shoulder season (November through April) may just be our destination's best kept secret. A vibrant community all year long, you'll find so many of the things you love about visiting here except with a little bit of a slower place, lower lodging rates and rarely a need for reservations at the best restaurants in town!

In this Sunday's gospel from Luke 10, Jesus appointed seventy two of his followers and sent them out to spread the gospel message.
The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest
to send out laborers for his harvest.
Go on your way;
behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
Jesus told them not to take any supplies with them. He warned them that in some places, they would not be welcomed. Their job was to teach others about God's love and to trust in the goodness of God's plan.
This gospel passage reminds us that as sons and daughters of God, it's also our job to spread the "Good News". Sometimes, this is very hard. Our friends may not believe what we teach them or they may even be mean to us. If this happens, we should still be kind and loving to them, but we should also remember them in our prayers.
How can you be a "laborer" in the harvest for God?
Spend a few minutes reading Luke 10 in your bible today and then go be a laborer in the harvest today!

Love the ring. I have been looking for something to be a constant reminder of my Andycat that I lost last year. When I saw this ring and was able to get his birthstone i thought it would be the answer. I had to go back twice to finally get the right size and the animal rescue team has just been wonderful in helping me with that fix. I am very happy with this and all the products I have bought from this site.

I am wearing this beautiful ring as I write this. I bought September (Sapphire) because I wear a lot of blue, and I also got the earrings to go with it. I have not removed the ring since it arrived! It is so beautiful, and very well made. So are the earrings. I could not be more pleased!!

It's adorable! It is a gift and she's going to love it! Plus it bought 70 bowls of food which is a great cause to support!!
- April 3, 2017
Pretty and delicate ring, which is a pleasure to wear. Rings tend to bother me, but this one is lightweight and smooth. I have the pink one, which I believe is for October. I chose pink because cat paw pads are usually pink. I also bought the earrings and they are pretty and well made, too. Thanks for these really nice products!

As I travel, I find golf courses becoming progressively better. Unfortunately I did not have clubs with me, however I am thinking a Golfing TRIO now!
Corrigin Golf Club will cost a little more than Kondinin Golf Club but rightfully so. Besides having a hole on the green, this course actually has flags! Wahoooooo! It will cost $5.00 for 18 holes! Well worth the experience!
Another feature this course has is a practice fairway. I think I have just found the new Long Drive Championship course. With the practice fairway extending past 300 meters means that a quick bush clear out at the bottom end can accommodate the BIG hitters.
Of course….I can see ego coming into the picture with a little more run than usual. Hopefully in the right direction! [LOL]
The tees are made from artificial turf. The fairways are about the same as Kulin, but I think these are cut a little shorter. The greens seems to be made of oil sand or black sand, but this time they have a scraper by the green so that you can smooth out the surface after you finish the hole.
Outside of this, the rules are pretty tough. I thought the course by itself would be a challenge. However, one can receive a 2 shot penalty if you hole a ball of edge of scraper mark. I not entirely sure what this all means but I can only guess that if you run a groove through the hole and then putt and hole out…then you receive the penalty
Of course, one can clean the ball only on the same fairway. This is pretty interesting because if you hit a great shot and it hits a rock to be deflected to another fairway – you are out of luck.
However…you can place the ball. So it is all good…only if that ball is on the same fairway and green of the hole you are playing. Phew – these guys are tough….!
Tips for playing this course:
- I would say – second hand clubs come into the picture?
- Water, Suncreen, and Hat
- Aim for the center of the hole when putting.
- Watch out for snakes. Apparently you play at your own risk! LOL
- Technically I would take a wood, an iron and a putter with some balls. I guess that helps me have a quick getaway in case I see a few brown things moving in the grass! 😉

A SECURITY guard was kidnapped by robbers who stole two lorries full of shoes from an industrial unit in Skelmersdale.
Two men wearing balaclavas raided Taylored Lines transport depot on Paddock Road in Pimbo in the early hours of Saturday morning (May 10).
They threatened the security guard on duty and held him hostage while they hooked up two HGV lorry cabs with two trailers containing consignments of shoes.
They then bundled the man into a purple van and drove him to Abbeywood in Digmoor where he was trapped until a woman heard his calls for help.
One of the lorries, a maroon Volvo with the registration number N290 PRP, was discovered abandoned without its load in Kirkby on Sunday. It is now being examined for forensic evidence.
Police are still searching for the second lorry, a white Scania with blue curtain sides, registration number X589 JFR.
Any witnesses or anyone with information about the lorries is asked to call Skelmersdale police on 01695 724 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The moral of the story, among many others in "West of Memphis," is that there's always more to the story. This controversial case would have been totally different if not for turtles. (You'll see.)
A deeply troubling if narratively flawed documentary on the 18-year saga of the West Memphis 3 (previously covered in the three "Paradise Lost" documentaries), "West of Memphis" tackles a true story about which it's impossible not to have an emotional response.

On Friday, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) released its Blog Year In Review for 2013. The annual review is a veritable gold mine of the bizarre things people have tried to bring on airplanes in the United States over the past year.
Some of this stuff has to be seen to be believed.
First off, the TSA found 1,813 firearms in carry-on bags at airport checkpoints last year. That's about five a day, and represents a 16.5 percent increase from the year before.
Of those 1,813 guns found in 2013, 81 percent were loaded. The most guns were found at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with Dallas/Fort Worth International coming in second place.
Here are some of the handguns the TSA found last year:
Other items found in travelers' carry-on bags in 2013 included 562 stun guns, black powder, inert demolition explosives, smoke grenades, flashbang grenades and flare guns.
Oh, and also, this mace, which was found in a carry-on at Chicago's Midway International (no that's not plastic -- that's actual wood and metal):
Airport officers with TSA also found some interesting items in travelers' checked bags, including a World War II-era bazooka (luckily it wasn't a functioning weapon) and this rather realistic-looking suicide vest, which ended up being fake and belonging to an explosives instructor:
In a checked bag at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida, officers found one of the strangest things of the year: human skull remains. The bone fragments were found in some clay pots in checked baggage, whose owners said they had "no idea" the skull pieces were in there.
Lastly, TSA agents found lots of walking canes with concealed swords inside them ...
... and combs containing hidden daggers:
So the next time you get annoyed with the long lines at an airport checkpoint, remember: Those agents are there for a reason.

Over the years, as I have built my business, there is one recurring aspect that continues to frustrate me. Clients rarely order prints; heck, I rarely order prints. Why is this? Why do we spend the time to shoot, edit, oooh and ahhh over the finished product but then never display them? Some will say it's a sign of the times, and I agree with this statement to a certain extent. I give my clients all of their digital files; I recently decided it does me no good to hold on to them. However, I often wonder do they in turn print them? I doubt it because I rarely print my own.
{I have done better as of late; these are two 5X7s that came in today}
I love nothing more than to hold a printed image in my hands and recall the moment it was captured. Oftentimes the memory makes me smile; sometimes it makes me sad. That's the point of photography, right? To capture moments in time that we want to remember. To forever document a second that we will never see again.
One reason, I believe, we don't order prints is because we now have so many to choose from and so little time to choose. Maybe these few steps will make it easier for you...
1) Decide how you want to display or store the images. Do you have a blank wall you've been meaning to hang something on? Would you rather store your images out of the way but where they are easy to access? Do you have a bookshelf with an empty spot that has been needing some color? This is also the time to write down every person that would enjoy one of your images. Grandma, great-grandma, aunt in New York, neighbor, etc...
- a few suggestions: photo albums (harder to find now than they use to be), photo boxes (can find almost anywhere), frames, wall space, etc...
2) Once you have decided how you want to display your images it is not time to decide what size you need. I do believe this is one of the more overwhelming aspects of ordering prints.
a few suggestions:
-wall display: 11X14 or larger
-bookshelf/side table: 5X7
-photo box/album: 4X6
If you are wanting to display an image over you couch, for example, a good rule of thumb is to measure the width of the couch and subtract several inches. You may wish to order multiple sizes and create a collage. If there is a blank space between a window and the corner wall you may want an 8X10 to frame and hang; as seen in the example below.
3) It is now time to do the dirty work; sit down at your computer preferably (easier to see than on a phone) with a piece of paper and a pen. As you go through the images write down the image number of any that strike you. Once you've done this you will have a general idea of how many images "speak" to you.
Sidenote: If you are a client of mine my website has a "favorites" feature that makes going through your images EASY! As you find a photo you like add it to your favorites. You can then view them all in a separate gallery. If there is a certain number you are trying to cull to you can quickly see how many you have chosen and eliminate as necessary.
{I am a refrigerator junkie - I never take them down and there is now no more space BUT it is my favorite photo spot. Our wedding snap shots are there, our dating pictures are there, our newborn muffin pictures are there - it's one of my very favorite spots.}
4) Now that you have your favorites selected you can more easily decide which one you want to order in an 11X14 for that special place in your living room. If you have budgeted for pictures I would HIGHLY recommend ordering 4X6 prints of all of your favorites simply for posterity sake! One day your grandkids or even great grandkids are going to love going through those prints!
{My crafty father-in-law made me this wood framed piece of tin - I found magnets at dirt cheap and filled her up. As you can see I've also resorted to using push pins on the wood. I love to leave some of the special photo christmas cards up all year.}
I hope this will inspire you to take the time to sit down and decide which images you love and want to keep. Having the digital files is great but if you never open them or display them what good are they doing you?
{I even have snapshots tucked in little corners. Please ignore the dust - I blame it on the copious amount of windows we have.}
For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. James 4:14

Exclusive interview with Vassil Kanev, Commercial Vice President - East Europe Region at Ideal Standard International; Executive Director and Chairman of Board of Directors of Ideal Standard-Vidima AD for the "Investors of the Decade" Business Survey of Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency) and Novinite.bg.
At the end of last year Ideal Standard-Vidima became one of the export companies that increased their production. Can we take this as a sign of recovery?...
Some years ago I was the purchasing manager for the UK division of the worlds largest supplier of building materials and, as such, was Ideal Standards largest customer in the UK and Europe so it is interesting to hear this man's view of things. I do believe that Bulgaria is poised to capture some good investment and the government should be pleased with the way the economy is shaping up against many western European countries. The main stumbling bloc to investment in Bulgaria is OC and corruption and a transparency in the bureaucracy in setting up a business. Some departments and officials give themselves too much power and government allows it and it becomes frustrating for a foreign national to start up a business that, after all, would benefit the country and its people by paying taxes and employing locally .

Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles has confused fans by suggesting the superstar has been telling tales about her real age.
The Halo singer has long listed her birthday as 4 September, 1981, making her 34, but Mathew claims she is actually the same age as pop star Pink, who was born in 1979.
Recalling the early days of their careers, when Beyonce was still trying to find fame with Destiny's Child, he recently told The Breakfast Club, "These guys had a competitiveness. (Music mogul) L.A. (Reid) had a girls group, but I bet you don't know who the lead singer was - Pink. She's the exact same age as Beyonce and there used to be this battle of who was better."
He added, "You had Usher, he was the same age. They were all 14 or 15 years old living in Atlanta."
Usher turned 37 last week (14Oct15).
Beyonce has yet to comment on her father's statements, but it's not the first time conspiracy theories have surfaced concerning the superstar's age. In 2006, TMZ editors claimed officials in the Department of Health in her native Texas had her listed as seven years older than she claims.

From Thomas Paul's Amalfi Collection - casual coaster dishes perfect for the beach or a picnic. Complements the Amalfi dinner plates, trays and side plates.
The Amalfi collection is inspired by the glamorous and alluring, Amalfi Coast in Italy, during the 1960's. A fun collection of bold prints in vibrant hues and vintage themes, for your home and any seaside escape. Happy travels!
Thomas Paul's vision has always been about combining classic design motifs from different periods in textile design, incorporating anything from an 18th century Damask pattern to a camouflage print. The unifying thread between so many different styles is to change the designs so they are updated for today. In reducing down the colors and details, most designs are reduced to two or three colors and become very bold and wonderful prints.

Mistresses Sabrina and Lacie are lesbians. But this guy thought he could turn them and fuck the two of them in an epic threesome that would turn them straight. The mistresses were angry at him and sought to punish him. But they did not let him know they were mad. They played along and when they were alone in the house, they trampled him and facesat on him and made him lick and smell their dirty asses while they had their lesbian fun.
Cruelty runs in the family of Lady Nicole. Today, Nicole and her sister were humiliating and degrading a loser. The guy did not do anything to them but they felt the need to humiliate him and torture him. They forced the guy to lick the dirty soles of their sneakers before trampling him and spitting on his face. The guy even apologized for his non-existent crime but they did not listen to him.
This guy wanted to impress and charm mistresses Vanessa and Marinka. She had even bought them drinks at the club and they decided to go home with him. But they did not plan to fuck him like he thought. They just wanted to have fun at his expense. So they made him lick and smell their feet and their shoes as they sat back and gave him orders of what to do.

Head of Marketing and Communications
Clapton is god
Head of Marketing and Communications
Clapton is god
Herman has been with us since the beginning of November. He's an active member of our society so we thought it was time to lift him up to the light and see what makes him tick.
Herman is a Software Engineer who joined the Support team on his first day. Support is a great place to learn how everything in the company works because it gives you a taste of all of the products and technologies in play at WAUK. Shui is his Senior Engineer at the moment, though previously he was on Jeff's team. It looks like SuperJeff was unable to hold onto this new starter. Herman spends a lot of his day working on various website functions, Acumen and Brease.
You may remember, but if not…here's the video, that Herman participated in the Red Nose Day Chilli Eating contest. Herman loved it, absolutely loved it. Then he stopped eating, the adrenaline went away, and the pain set in. Ouch. Herman would definitely participate again, but he would require an exorbitant appearance fee. You'll find Herman's exit at 3:28.
Herman has a lot of hobbies. When he was younger he was the Point Guard on his basketball team. There is no reason to doubt Herman's basketball handling abilities, so perhaps, given his stature, it is not surprising that he played Point Guard. Just as a reference. Average height of a Point Guard in the NBA is between 5'10" and 6'3", to give some contrast the average height of a Small Forward is 6'6" to 6'11" and a Center is on average 6'10" or taller.
Other than Basketball Herman likes to watch movies, play video and PC games, and build things. At the moment he is putting together the components to build a computer, finding the best price for each individual part like the conscientious consumer he is. Herman likes a challenge and has been enjoying learning new technologies and concepts like MVC in ASP.NET. His early school years much have been pretty challenging as well.
Herman moved to England from Hong Kong when he was in Primary School Year 5, at the time he didn't speak any English. With time and a lot of effort Herman's English is not excellent; whenever he hears a recording of himself speaking he can clearly hear his accent, I thought he was a native English speaker. Adapt to a new country with a new language, there's a challenge for you.
Herman also enjoys his movies; he is a big fan of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the Pirates of the Caribbean series. He even liked the 4th PotC instalment, apparently the plot was fine but the movie tried too hard to replace Elizabeth (Keira Knightly) and Will (Orlando Bloom). A fun extra fact is that Herman has never successfully made it through an entire Star Wars Movie. He has seen bits here and there but has never sat and watched one from start to finish. Not even the originals. None. As far as I know, he's the only person I've ever met who has never seen one from beginning to end. Craziness.
Finally, Herman is a gentle soul. He appears to have avoided the modern-day psychopathic trend of loving movies and games with lots of horror and blood and gore. His favourite games are Gran Turismo and the Final Fantasy series, neither heavy on the gore. He enjoys games where your character/avatar is allowed to grow up with you. Herman is definitely a little bit of a dreamer; he loves development because it allows you to be creative without worrying about current aesthetic trends and hey, he really thought he could handle all those chillies…

ESB Electric Ireland
A man, a room and some mind warping drugs that send him hurtling through time brandishing a kettle and a dangerously brittle mug full of boiling liquid. That's what this ad may appear to be about on first viewing however, some may say unfortunately, no such luck. This one sees the ESB (now ESB Electric Ireland ) celebrate their many years of serving electrons to our power hungry country and a little brand change thrown in for good luck.
In the background we see household objects morph/transform into new household objects. Some may question the ethics of plastic surgery spreading its manipulative and exploitative money stained fingers into the domain of inanimate and therefore, defenseless objects but I for one welcome it. I'd rather have a flat and barren white shelf than one with character any day if the price is right! All this digital surgery was achieved with the help of many hundreds of reference photographs of the objects on set and then brought into the computer, modeled and then textured. Then each had to be figured out like a puzzle that wont sit still to change from one object into another. Some had to morph 3 or 4 times to go from 1920's, to 50's, to 70's to modern objects. There are lethal levels of compositing and vfx trickery going on to achieve a veritable nuclear explosion of an ad. Too much? Ok, its a nice ad but could clearly have been improved if our hero was tearing up the house in a Delorean during his time traveling spiel.
On the graphics side of things it was Sam Boyd, Gavin Kelly and me on the 3d end and Gavin Kelly and Paul Heagney on the compositing end.
All work completed at Piranhabar.

text: Print DiagnosisYour doctor will likely diagnose infant jaundice on the basis of your baby's appearance. However, your doctor will need to measure the level of bilirubin in your baby's blood. The level of bilirubin (severity of jaundice) will determine the course of treatment. Tests to determine jaundice include: A physical exam A laboratory test of a sample of your baby's blood A skin test with a device called a transcutaneous bilirubinometer, which measures the reflection of a special light shone through the skin Your doctor may order additional blood tests or urine tests if there's evidence that your baby's jaundice is caused by an underlying disorder. TreatmentMild infant jaundice often disappears on its own within two or three weeks. For moderate or severe jaundice, your baby may need to stay longer in the newborn nursery or be readmitted to the hospital. Treatments to lower the level of bilirubin in your baby's blood may include: Light therapy (phototherapy). Your baby may be placed under special lighting that emits light in the blue-green spectrum. The light changes the shape and structure of bilirubin molecules in such a way that they can be excreted in the urine and stool. The light isn't an ultraviolet light, and a protective plastic shield filters out any ultraviolet light that may be emitted. During treatment, your baby will wear only a diaper and protective eye patches. The light therapy may be supplemented with the use of a light-emitting pad or mattress. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). Jaundice may be related to blood type differences between mother and baby. This condition results in the baby carrying antibodies from the mother that contribute to the breakdown of blood cells in the baby. Intravenous transfusion of an immunoglobulin — a blood protein that can reduce levels of antibodies — may decrease jaundice and lessen the need for an exchange blood transfusion. Exchange transfusion. Rarely, when severe jaundice doesn't respond to other treatments, a baby may need an exchange transfusion of blood. This involves repeatedly withdrawing small amounts of blood, diluting the bilirubin and maternal antibodies, and then transferring blood back into the baby — a procedure that's performed in a newborn intensive care unit. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Lifestyle and home remediesWhen infant jaundice isn't severe, your doctor may recommend changes in feeding habits that can lower levels of bilirubin. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about how much or how often your baby is feeding or if you're having trouble breast-feeding. The following steps may lessen jaundice: More-frequent feedings. Feeding more frequently will provide your baby with more milk and cause more bowel movements, increasing the amount of bilirubin eliminated in your baby's stool. Breast-fed infants should have eight to 12 feedings a day for the first several days of life. Formula-fed infants usually should have 1 to 2 ounces (about 30 to 60 milliliters) of formula every two to three hours for the first week. Supplemental feedings. If your baby is having trouble breast-feeding, is losing weight or is dehydrated, your doctor may suggest giving your baby formula or expressed milk to supplement breast-feeding. In some cases, your doctor may recommend using formula alone for a couple of days and then resuming breast-feeding. Ask your doctor what feeding options are right for your baby. Preparing for your appointmentBilirubin levels in the blood tend to peak when your baby is between three and seven days old. So it's important for your doctor to examine your baby for jaundice during that time. When your baby is discharged from the hospital, your doctor or nurse will look for jaundice. If your baby has jaundice, your doctor will assess the likelihood of the jaundice being severe based on a number of factors: How much bilirubin is in the blood Whether your baby was born prematurely How well he or she is feeding How old your baby is Whether your baby has bruising from delivery Whether an older sibling also had severe jaundice Follow-up visit Based on these factors, your doctor may recommend an earlier follow-up visit. When you arrive for your follow-up appointment, be prepared to answer the following questions. How well is your baby feeding? Is your baby breast-fed or formula-fed? How often is he or she feeding? How often does your baby have a wet diaper? How often is there stool in the diaper? Does he or she wake up easily for feeding? Does your baby seem sick or weak? Have you noticed any changes in the color of your baby's skin or eyes? If your baby has jaundice, has the yellow color spread to parts of the body other than the face? Has the baby's temperature been stable? You may also prepare questions to ask your doctor at your follow-up appointment, including: Is the jaundice severe? What tests will my baby need? Do we need to begin treatment for jaundice? Will I need to readmit my baby to the hospital? When should I schedule a follow-up visit? Do you have any brochures about jaundice and proper feeding? May I continue current feedings? Don't hesitate to ask other questions.

Woman, 91, fined for trash at home where she no longer lives
Woman, 91, fined for trash at home where she no longer lives
A man is fighting back after his 91-year-old sister with dementia was fined for littering outside a rowhouse where she no longer lives.
Doris Simms was issued a $75 ticket in July after an inspector found five garbage bags in front of her home, according to a report in The Washington Post.
But Warren Simms says his sister is in a nursing home and could not have left the garbage. He plans to make his case at November administrative hearing.
The District's Department of Public Works issues citations regardless of age. This summer, a 2-year-old girl was ticketed over a wayward piece of mail bearing her name. Spokeswoman Zy Richardson says the agency was working with the Simms family to "minimize hardship."

as some of you know, a few weeks back we kept our friends' five kids with us for a couple of days. we popped up the tent trailer in the driveway, and they spent a good amount of time in their own space, playing games, snacking and just being fun, crazy kids. they are all similar in age to our older four, so they ended up grouping together at times, or all plopping on the couches relaxing, since let's face it, they didn't get a whole lot of sleep.
there was creek exploring, and almost injuries, finding odd treasures, and nerf wars. they all live out in the country, but some of our wildlife was new to the boys and brought about conversations of how they can "hunt" next time. ("neighborhood hunting"… let's just say it won't be happening if i have anything to say about it.) we watched movies, and snacked all day, and ottilie was in heaven with five more older "siblings" she could join at any given moment.
as we had meals around our table, i found myself loving every second of making large amounts of food for all these kids. feeding my family, and friends is something i love doing; and although, it means most of my time is in the kitchen preparing or cleaning up, i don't mind it one bit.
the food went quickly, and plates were being filled and emptied before i could catch up and get more on the table. but everyone was happy and filled with the most grateful hearts to just all be together. till the next time!

errata--On Body Rows 10-13: it says to repeat Rows 1 and 2 twice, but it should say this....Rows 10-13: Repeat Rows 8 and 9 twice. This is the ribbing.
Thanks to haramis for catching this.
Sorry, in my excitement to share this, I did not proof it as I should have.
I recommend making the size down from your bust size and doing the beginning ribbing in a needle size smaller too. Otherwise the neck may be a bit too big.
I designed this to wear as a cover-up for my sleeveless summer dresses. I wanted something quick, simple, cotton, knitted from the neck down and as simply knit as possible. I made it with a wider, sort of ballet neck. It does not have a buttonhole. I used a large 1" button and sewed a snap on under it. It would look wonderful with a nice antique pin.
This is a brainless, super easy, quick summer knit. Enjoy.
I have some Brown Sheep Cotton in a Provincial Rose that I plan on using next.

Professional Clinicians' Views and Use of DC: 0-3R
Social Work
Date of Paper/Work
Degree Name
Master of Social Work (M.S.W.)
Type of Paper/Work
Clinical research paper
David J. Roseborough
In 1996, the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood was published to address the paucity of options for addressing infant and toddler mental health. Currently in its revised version and referred to as DC: 0-3R, it is designed to help professionals formulate a comprehensive assessment of infant and toddler mental health and relational issues. This paper addresses current research on infant and toddler mental health, the importance of prevention and early intervention, and the role of DC: 0-3R in these areas. Since professional perspective can ultimately influence the diagnostic process, this study focuses on the views and uses of professionals using DC: 0-3R. This is accomplished through the use of a qualitative study during which ten professionals were asked interview questions focusing on their training and experience, how they use the tool, and their thoughts of the tool. The data collected from these interviews is described and compared to other research on DC: 0-3R and infant and toddler mental health.

I think many of us are hungry these days. We're fed so much garbage from our fast food culture. A friend of mine sent me an article from the Washington Post that for me was a total confirmation of these thoughts and inklings. The article (attached below) absolutely confirms what many feel is an illness, a malignancy, a cancer of the modern mind: that loss of a sense of wonder. An ignorance of beauty.
The Washington Post pulled off this incredibly sobering stunt a few months ago. The full article is here, with video clips from the hidden camera: http://tinyurl.com/29k6hu
The short of this very long article (so worth the read) is that we are moving too fast, living too fast, and passing by beauty sometimes without a second glance. In the case of this story, many of us are not only NOT stopping to smell the roses, but we don't even remember what a rose is anymore!
Joshua Bell, one of the world's great musicians, was asked to slip incognito into a D.C. Metro station during the morning rush hour, open up the case of his violin, and play some of the world's most beloved classical music of all time for the masses. The point? Would the people notice? Would beauty stop them cold, or would they coldly pass beauty by in the rush to "other appointments"?
Shakespeare once wrote that it was "strange that sheep's guts should hail men's souls from their bodies." Do they still? Can music still calm the savage beast in us and raise our minds to what is above?
I'd love to know your thoughts on this one! So read on!
I'll close with a favorite poem of mine. I was introduced to this one by listening to Bishop Fulton Sheen, who often quoted it in his talks. I think you'll see the parallel when you read the article. For what is the sound of music, even the most beautiful, when we discover that the Musician Himself has been with us all the while?
"When Jesus came to Golgotha they hanged Him on a tree,
They drave great nails through hands and feet, and made a Calvary;
They crowned Him with a crown of thorns, red were His wounds and deep,
For those were crude and cruel days, and human flesh was cheap.
When Jesus came to Birmingham they simply passed Him by,
They never hurt a hair of Him, they only let Him die;
For men had grown more tender, and they would not give Him pain,
They only just passed down the street, and left Him in the rain.
Still Jesus cried, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do,"
And still it rained the wintry rain that drenched Him through and through;
The crowds went home and left the streets without a soul to see,
And Jesus crouched against a wall and cried for Calvary.
- G.A. Studdert Kennedy (1883-1929)

On 22 April, Darden Executive Education will welcome 20 outstanding management executives from the Middle East for a 24-day Leadership Development Program (LDP), designed to enhance their leadership skills and potential.For the third consecutive year, Darden is partnering with the Institute of Banking in Saudi Arabia and the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance for this executive development program, which will run 22 April – 16 May. Participants include heads of compliance, directors of information and learning technology, acting CEOs and financial controllers.The LDP faculty team, led by Darden Professors Sherwood Frey and Bob Conroy, has created an impactful program of action-oriented learning experiences and participant-centered classroom discussions. The program begins with understanding the big picture of business as an integrated system. The case study method allows participants to explore actual business problems and solutions that will lead them to develop new ways of thinking about their challenges. Through assessments and coaching, participants gain a better understanding of who they are as leaders and identify areas for improvement. Participants will focus on creating plans for personal and organization development. Learning team and class discussions offer opportunities to practice influencing others, explore differing viewpoints and stretch strategic thinking.The benefits of attending include increased effectiveness as a result of examining personal leadership practices; broadened business perspectives and improved decision-making; and the improved capability to think and act more strategically. A follow-up assessment and post-program coaching are provided to continue the learning and self-improvement after the program. Past participants who completed a follow-up assessment saw significant and positive results in most leadership skills that were measured.
Recent participants in the custom LDP II program said:"The design of the program in terms of its approach, teaching methodology, content and delivery was exceptional. The Leadership Development Program added true value for all participants, and we are confident that what we learned was indeed life-changing! The program will definitely contribute to the growth and prosperity of our respective organizations."Fatima BudhaishSenior Manager - Head of Credit ReviewNational Bank of Bahrain"It was my pleasure being one of the Leadership Development Program participants at the Darden School of Business. I highly valued the leadership experience; the program helped me discover my leadership capability, which would in turn contribute to my organization's growth. It was a truly rewarding experience for me personally and professionally, with a well-balanced mixture of participant's thoughts and class discussions that challenged me to think differently."Issa Al HuraimeesRegional Head - Central RegionAl Rajhi BankTo learn more, contact us at email@example.com.

Seen on July 5, 2015 @ National Arts Festival, Grahamstown
Get a big band together of outstanding musicians in their own right and add a three decade experience of recording and performing with some of the world's leading composers and you have the Stockholm Jazz Orchestra opening with a very powerful Fire to open an evening presenting the music of Ann-Sofi Soderqvist, hailed as Sweden's answer to Maria Schneider. Living up to ts name the first composition is heavy instrumental fireworks. Big band composer and arranger Soderqvist has travelled with the orchestra and is clearly delighted to present her work through her admiration of this formidable orchestra. A bientot, written for her mother ttreasures the memory of someone dear "just a breath away" with breath held, full of promise, warm feelings and a gentleness that climaxes in an utter cry of farewell. A very different atmosphere is evoked in Remembering Frieda, which molody was the leading theme in a play about the Mexican artist known for her self portraits,symbols and dreams full of colour. Did I hear a hint to a Mexican trumpet?
The joy of creativity and a celebration of life can be heard in the next composition with an abundance of sound that make you loose your way. The music gives extra dimensions to the lyrics sung by Lena Swanberg. Similar support from the instrumentation comes in I want to stand strong where vocals, guitar, bass, piano are the undercurrent that catch the words and grow bigger than all self doubt and makes an alley. Soderqvist joins on French horn and shows that she enjoys playing as much as conducting. Four South African guest singers join the already full stage for a Wham song that hets totally funky. Soderqvist clearly enjoys her music played by this class band.
It is time to take the music down. Prayer was composed after a lunatic shot 67 young people gathered on an island near Oslo where 16-18 year old Social Democrats where discussing political ideas on a camp. The young man dressed up as a policeman and arrived at the island armed. It took the police one hour to arrive because the camp happened on an island. The song voices the despair that came over Soderqvist as she washed the trial live on TV. A song in honour of all the springflowers that were never allowed to blossom. Angry hearts and a frightened child offering a prayer for hope, light and love, always love.
With the bear walks in Sea the set of very diverse work of Soderqvist and entertaining solowork from Karl-Martin Almqvist, Gustavo Bergalli, Ola Bengston and Lena Swaneberg leaves the audience hungry for more.
