Practice is an essential part of learning anything.
Yet, it is common to make excuses not practice music: "I couldn't find my music." "I was busy with _______." "I had too much homework."
The most surprising excuse? "I didn't have an instrument to practice with at home."
Sometimes this is because the student left the instrument at school. Occasionally, it is because the instrument broke or ran out of battery power. It is even sometimes because the student simply doesn't have an instrument to use at home ever.
I can't fix the "busy" excuse and I don't want to compete with homework, but I hope this post might begin to fix the problem of not having an instrument.
Below are a range of decent and extremely affordable keyboard options, starting with one that is just the cost of a single lesson. If you or your child takes piano lessons and doesn't already have a piano or keyboard to practice on at home, this is a great place to start. All students should have a convenient instrument to practice on every day of the week.
In the future, I will put together similar lists for more advanced piano options and other instruments.
Please Note: I have not tested all of the instruments and options recommended below. I have chosen these recommendations mostly based on three factors: included features, overall perceived value, and word-of-mouth/online reviews. I encourage everyone to do their own research before making a purchase.
If you indeed choose one of the options listed below, please use the links in this post to make your purchase. A small portion of the purchase amount will go towards a budget for improvements and upgrades to the instruments used during private lessons.
The Ultimate Starter Keyboard
Plixio 61-Key Mid-Size Electric Piano Keyboard
If you are currently taking lessons and don't already have a piano or keyboard at home, this is the perfect place to start. Currently priced at just $40, it is at the far opposite end of the piano spectrum from a Steinway grand. But, it is lightweight, has an impressive 61- keys, and is extremely easy to store just about anywhere, such as under a bed.
The Lowest Cost Full Keyboard Set
RockJam 61-Key Electronic Keyboard
For most keyboards, you will need to either set them on your own furniture or purchase a stand separately. This keyboard set comes with it all: keyboard stand, music stand (for books and sheet music), bench to sit, and even headphones so you don't bother your family. All for $119.
The keyboard itself is a step up from the Plixio above, but is definitely not the quality of the Casio below. All in all, it is a good middle ground between the two and has all the accessories you need in the same box.

The Most Affordable Touch-Sensitive Keyboard
Casio CTK-4400 61-Key Portable Keyboard
It's rare that you'll see a Casio piano/keyboard used professionally. But, Casio is a solid brand that has been around for more than half a century. Their keyboards make for great, affordable instruments for beginners to practice. And, they usually have quite a selection of additional features built in.
At $179, this keyboard is no exception. In particular, it has touch-sensitive keys. The softer you play, the quieter it sounds. This is very helpful for beginner and intermediate students learning to play with dynamics.
Mastering 88-Keys on a Budget
Alesis Recital 88-Key Beginner Digital Piano
Few beginner students need 88 keys on a keyboard. This is the size of a full piano. But, this is not only the most affordable 88-key option currently available, it is also from a very trusted brand. Alesis is will known for making quality electronic instruments such as keyboard, synthesizers, and even electronic drum kits. My personal keyboard is an Alesis and it is currently one of the two keyboards I use with the students at school.
At $210, this will definitely cost more than the Casio and will likely have less of the "fun" features. But, the real advantage of this keyboard is that it will play and feel a lot more like a piano. It won't quite be as good the "real thing", but it may very well be the only keyboard the student will ever need.
Clearance & Used Items
There are many places to get used keyboards at a steep discount. The most important things for a beginner keyboard are:
1) at least 61 full-size keys
2) built-in speakers (you don't want to have to pay extra for an amp or external speakers)
3) a power supply (batteries are expensive and are a pain to replace)
A step up is touch-sensitive keys for changing volume as you play. And, semi-weighted or weighted keys will give a better feel of piano. Anything that says "digital piano" is a usually step in the right direction.
The best brands are Roland, Korg, Yamaha, and Casio. Alesis keyboards are nice too, but do not have built-in speakers.
Guitar Center is a good place to start, especially since you can then pick up the keyboard locally. Also, check their Clearance and Outlet (open box) sections for special deals on new(er) items.
Craigslist also has a lot of great deals. Just be safe and avoid scams.
Musician's Friend also has several categories to check out. They have open box sections for Keyboards and Digital Pianos. And, they have regular "Hot Deals" and Clearance items.

No, not all journals are available online. Some databases include full-text articles along with abstracts/citations and some only provide citations. I just checked and you are right, we do not carry Environmental Hazards online or in print. However, you may request an article via interlibrary loan.

Question about Aiwa HV-MX1 VHS VCR
Aiwa HV-MX1. The tape stuck on rewind. catridge won't come up and eject. I have cut the tape to help release it but nothing is happening and the machine will cut off after about 4 seconds. Thank you
Posted by camelothouse on
Guy's, you are supposed to tell me! I don't know if there is worm gear (whatever that is). Is there a big label that say's motor and others for worm gear etc? That site that every one of you sent me to is just general. The HV-MX1 is a digital converter, I have what looks like mother boards to remove before I can even see in never mind find the motor, gears and whatever else is stuck in the road. Also the site for database does not list Aiwa, so that is just useless. So please. I know $9.99 isn't a fortune but a little more help would be nice.
Thank you.
Thank you,
How do I get the Service manual from your site? If I hit except will it take me to the download?
again thanks.
The site you are listing is the "user manual" I have the user manual and it say's nothing about stuck tapes (apart from conensation) never mind how to fix it. The site I would need is the "Service manual".
Thank you for your efforts but we do seem to be going round in circles. I have removed stuck tapes before from standard vcr's with ease but the MX1 is a different beast and unless you know the machine (it cost $650) this is not easy.
thank you anyway but I'm still at ground zero.
I have the cover off. I have removed the ciruit boards that cover the complete top of the machine. I cut the tape (it had to be sacrified) and pulled miles of tape out but still nothing. The drum is easy to see but the motor? On the right side there is a small metal canister and this maybe the motor but again I don't see any shaft in there. Plenty of spools and the tape still stays anchored to the mechanism, like set on concrete. Do you know where I can get a diagram that would show me what is what?
Thanks but that was the sight I visited before contacting you guy's. I have downloaded it but can't see or print it because it requires WinRAR to extract. That means buying their system and for one print-out it's not worth it.
locate the motor that powers the cassette carriage. If there is a worm gear in the mechanism, you must hand cycle somewhere between the motor and that gear. Once again, the shaft or pulley that comes out of the motor is usually the best place."
Here is the site which tells how to eject the caste when it is stuck.
Please don't forget to rate me as fixya..
Posted on Feb 08, 2008
Give this a try:
Unplug the VCR, take the cover off, find the motor (probably on the
right side of the mechanism) and turn its shaft with your fingers until
you have run the tape back out. Now plug it back in and try it
again with a scarificial tape. If it continues to fail, replace
all the rubber belts in the mechanism.
Hope ya fix it!
Unfortunately, the best chance you got of getting the tape out is to open up the video to release the tape.
Posted on Feb 08, 2008
Here is the service manual should you decide to open it up.
Sorry, I didn't realize I didn't post the link.
I will look for one and get back to you ASAP.
You can download and use winrar to download and extract the file for free (eventhough it's a trial version).

The ultimate sacrifice, is one laying down his life for another. Oh I'm sure there are many who have done so, but it's the Veteran of War who definitely stands out as having done so.
There is a price for freedom, and it doesn't come cheap. I would say, perhaps I'm wrong, but most Americans and those from more democratic societies take there freedoms for granted.
How did we get here? You can complain all you want about our form of government, but I must conclude it's most assuredly better than most. Just look at those under communism and other forms of oppressive dictatorships. You and I, for example, have the opportunity to buy and sell real estate. Ask 1 of the 1 billion people who live in China if this is true in their case. Point made! I'm not saying it's a perfect society, it has it's problems. However, our founding fathers wanted for the most part, nothing other than freedom and justice for all.
Did that come without a price? Of course not, people gave there lives for the cause. So today, you and I reap the benefits of those who gave their all for our freedoms.
Some wars stand out more than others in the degree of effect for the cause of obtaining and maintaining our freedoms. However, each and every man and woman who were willing to give there lives to fight for our freedoms, deserve our honor.
We must not forget those who died during war, yes many have been willing to die and we honor them for that, however there are those who gave the ultimate price and sadly never had the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of their labor. We must never forget those who perhaps were still teenagers, who sacrificed there lives for others. They never had the opportunity to get married, have children, buy land and have a homestead. May we honor them today.
Just what does it mean to honor someone anyway?

Slow scan during file system backup with multiple large volumes
Article ID: SCAN0002 Scan process scans multiple volumes in serial manner.
File System agent subclient backup takes a long time to complete scan of multiple volumes.
Regardless of the number of readers configured for a subclient, the scan is a single process. The scan process walks the entire directory table for each volume sequentially. As such, the content of a subclient containing multiple volumes with a large number of files can take a long time to scan.
If possible, use Optimized Scan method. Optimized Scan uses a customized database containing information about files on a volume. The database is maintained by background processes and can be quickly queried to determine which files to back up. Note that the first backup scan may take just as long as before while initializing the database. Subsequent backup scans will be a lot faster.
To improve the overall scan time further, split the volumes into multiple subclients. Running multiple subclients in parallel will yield parallel scan processes which should complete the scan quicker. Splitting content along volume boundaries separates disk I/O demands of each subclient's scan and backup processes. However, if the volumes contain a greatly unequal number of files, better performance may be achieved by balancing the number of files protected/scanned by each subclient.
For example, if you have a subclient with four volumes, one of the volumes with 50K files and the other three volumes with 10K files each, you can split the volumes into two subclients; one subclient with the volume containing 50K files and the other subclient with the remaining three volumes containing 10K files each.
Note that using multiple subclients increases resource requirements on the data source, transit media, and destination library. Make sure these path components can support parallel subclient processing.

This past weekend was the worst one of my life. My partner in crime and best friend of 11 years died suddenly of a ruptured tumor near his kidney. My husband and I do not have children so in many ways Harper was our child. To those of you who have actual children, you may scoff at this idea but until you have actually walked in my shoes, please do not judge. The house seems so empty and everything reminds me of him in some way. The grief is very real and more than I ever anticipated. For those of you with dogs, you understand that the life span of your pets is but a heartbeat so we enter into the relationship knowing they will not outlive us. However, the bonds that are forged span a lifetime. We were very fortunate in that Harper's sudden passing meant that he did not suffer. My last image of him is sitting in the surgical suite with one paw on my shoulder and him looking at me as if to say "Mom, I'm going to be fine. It's just a little surgery." He was also so reassuring in that way. Over the past few days, in between my ugly crying spells and reflection I've put together some lessons that Harper taught me over the years. Funny that we often think we are training and teaching our pets yet the lessons they teach us are far, far greater.
Love Unconditionally
Harper loved almost everyone and he instinctively knew when you needed his love the most. Just a few months after I adopted him, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. I'll never forget him coming to her bedside to lay his head on her hand to offer her some comfort. Many times over the years he would curl up next to me in bed and lay his head on my heart and comfort me as I cried or worried over some challenge. If he didn't like someone, he would also become fiercely protective and I trusted his instincts about people and on several occasions he proved that he knew best when someone with questionable motives came around. However, he wasn't biased over someone's race, religion, sexual preference or lifestyle choice. People should really pay more attention to a dog's behavior. The world would be a much happier and peaceful place.
Protect Your Loved Ones
We used to joke that Harper stayed on 'high alert' most of the time. It's true he had a hard time relaxing but mostly he assumed the role of protector of the house, especially when my husband began traveling for work and we were at home alone. I realized this early on when I was living by myself and Harper woke me up barking like crazy. Of course, I kept telling him to be quiet. Finally he did calm down but he slept by the back door the rest of the night. When I walked outside the next morning to go to work, my car had been broken into and Harper was the only one who realized it! I never doubted him from that moment on.
Forgive and Forget
Harper used to sneakily get into the trash or better yet, he would somehow manage to sneak bacon off of a paper towel without so much as even touching the napkin. It was a skill, for sure, but he would be reprimanded. It didn't take much; all I had to do was use a stern voice and his ears would go back and he would look down guiltily. However, a minute later he was back to wagging his tail and coming to cuddle with me on the couch. He got over our spats very quickly and resumed being the 'happy-go-lucky' dog I loved. And he forgave me many times when I would forget to pick up his dog food and he would have to eat rice for dinner. Maybe that was easier to forgive but the point is that he didn't hold grudges and never dwelled on the past.
Live In the Moment
Harper lived each day (and each moment) to the fullest. You'd never catch him worrying about yesterday. Perhaps his biggest worry was catching that squirrel which we'll discuss in just a moment. He was present in every moment and even in his final few days he was chasing squirrels, getting into the trash and snuggling with me on every occasion. He lived a life with no regrets and in so many ways he was my role model.
Never Give Up the Chase
Every single day Harper would wake up excited to face the day and run to the backdoor and literally jump off our back deck to chase the same squirrels. And every time he failed! The beauty is that he faced each day with the same excitement and the chase never got old. He motivated me so many mornings to go chase my day with the same level of enthusiasm.
My beloved fur baby has left me with so many wonderful memories. And his wisdom about living a full life each and every day will stay with me always. Go chase those squirrels, Harper! I'll see you again one day.

CD REVIEW: SCREAM by Lifeline
SCREAM by Lifeline
(Escape Music)
UK based rock outfit Lifeline breakout onto the music scene with their powerful debut release, 'Scream'. The band is comprised of, Nigel Bailey (Three Lions, Bailey) on vocals, bass / Lee Small (Shy, Phenomena) on vocals / Paul Hume (Demon, Lawless) on guitars and backing Vocals / Steve Clarkson on drums Backing Vocals and Andy Bailey on keyboards backing vocals. British hard rock and the melodic rock world are where Lifeline take their musical lead from. There's no question there is a gap in the market for some solid, hard `n' melodic old-school British blues-rock bands. In that regard Lifeline deliver right from the get-go. The band serve up twelve stellar tracks packed with monstrous riffs and soaring melodies that seamlessly combine the vocal styles of Nigel Bailey and Lee Small without ever losing their individuality. Highlights are, "Fear No More", "Jezebel", the title track, "Danger In The Sky" and "Destination Freedom". There's certainly no fillers which points to a band that has taken time to develop these songs and make sure the album flows well and doesn't overstay it's welcome. For those of you who were brought up on rock music that has melody and really good musicianship then I strongly suggest that you check this album out. 'Scream' by Lifeline is an album just rocks all on all cylinders. It's smooth, catchy, rocking and just has a fantastic energy overall. - Highly Recommended

Organized Complexity
"Organized Complexity" is a work that has a multitouch-sensible table and a multiple unit interaction software. In a scale of thousands of units, the result that emerges are coherent graphic compositions, like watching the development of a live organism or the transformations of a city along time, from an aerial perspective. From that elevated point of view, the observer has the chance to interact indirectly, through the extremely natural and intuitive touch-table interface, undoing formations, forcing mixes. Movements here don't generate certainties and attitudes, they rather modify momentarily the space where units are inserted, transforming the generated image, which is fruit of the environment and the units' relationships, and not of a concrete goal.
Luis Felipe Carli graduated from the School of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo, where he developed a research on Organized complexity and emergency in the production of graphic images. He is a directing partner of Estúdio Origami since October 2007, and developed works for Oi telecom, MTV Brasil, WallMart, Embraer, and others. He is part of the Grupo de Pesquisa Design, Ambiente e Interfaces, at FAU-USP.

Will "Big Sam" Allardyce be sacked after controversial exposure?
Already this story you are about to read is already trending on social media, and Big Sam Allardyce , former west Ham and Bolton Coach and newly appointed England Coach has no idea his job is on the line.
According to an exclusive investigation carried out by UK based News Firm, The Telegraph.
Sam Allardyce used his position as England manager to negotiate a £400,000 deal and offered advice to businessmen on how to "get around" FA rules on player transfers, The Telegraph can disclose.
Before he had even held his first training session as England's new head coach, Allardyce negotiated a deal with men purporting to represent a Far East firm that was hoping to profit from the Premier League's billion-pound transfer market.
Unknown to the England Coach, who has only played and won one game since he took charge , the "businessmen" were undercover "pressmen"
Talk about "letting your guard down and being caught pants down"
Below are the juiciest part of the undercover investigation.Enjoy
He agreed to travel to Singapore and Hong Kong as an ambassador and explained to the "businessmen" how they could circumvent Football Association rules which prohibit third parties "owning" players.
The issue of "third party ownership" in football has been described as "slavery". It effectively allows companies to own a stake in a footballer. The FA led the way by banning the practice in 2008 and football's world governing body, Fifa, followed in 2015.
Allardyce, 61, told his prospective employers it was "not a problem" to dodge the "ridiculous" rules.
During Allardyce's meetings with the reporters he also:
Criticised his predecessor Roy Hodgson, dubbing him "Woy" and saying that he "hasn't got the personality" for public speaking; Said England's players were underperforming because they had a "psychological barrier" and "can't cope"; Suggested that players who were not being played for their club should not be picked for England; Described the FA decision to redevelop Wembley as "stupid".
IN QUOTES | What Sam Allardyce said
On why Roy Hodgson, former England manager, would not be a good public speaker:
"He'd send them all to sleep, Roy. Woy. He hasn't got the personality for it."
On where Roy Hodgson went wrong as England manager:
"Players let him down in the end. I think maybe he, he was too indecisive. Cast a bit of an anxiety over to the players maybe. I mean prior to the Iceland game, he won all 10 qualifiers. We'd drawn with Russia, we should have won. We beat Wales, and that was our worst performance. We drew with Slovakia, and we only had to draw with Iceland to get through ... he just collapsed."
On Gary Neville, former assistant manager England manager, advising Hodgson on the decision to substitute on Marcus Rashford during the match against Iceland in the Euros:
"They were arguing for 10 minutes about bringing him on, him and Gary Neville. So Gary was the wrong influence for him. ----ing tell Gary to sit down and shut up, so you can do what you want. You're the manager, you do what you want, not what they anyone else"
On the chances of footballers playing for England:
"Can't play them then. Joe Hart. Jack Wilshere, on the bench for Arsenal. Oxlade-Chamberlain on the bench. You can play them, but they're not playing for the club. When they're not playing for the club, they're just short of match practice."
On Wembley Stadium:
"They [the FA] stupidly spent £870 million on Wembley, so they're still paying that debt off. They completely rebuilt it. If they'd built it anywhere else, it would have cost about £400 million. They completely floored it and then rebuilt the new stadium which is fabulous, but that sort of debt is not really what you want. Most of the money the FA make[s] will go to the interest on the debt."
On the gambling habits of current or former senior England players:
"[A club owner] bailed [a player] out twice. That's players for you, dealing with the boredom, see. It were worse in our time … we gambled more in our time than they do now. We played cards, played cards all the way back [from away matches] … you'd do your wages in."
On the Football Association:
"They're all about making money aren't they? You know the FA's the richest football association in the world? Well, I shouldn't say that. They're not the richest at all. What they do is they have the biggest turnover in the world with £325 million."
On the Duke of Cambridge failing to appear at the launch of the Euro 2020 football tournament:
"The only one that never turned up was Prince William. He's our ambassador for the Football Association, so it would have been nice if he'd have turned up but he obviously had more, much busier things on."
On Prince Harry:
"Harry's a naughty boy. He's a very naughty boy, very naughty. He shows his bottom and all sorts."
Meanwhile, The Telegraph detailed its findings in an email to the FA yesterday morning which set out 18 questions about its findings, including Allardyce's comments in the two meetings. However, the FA declined to answer any of the questions without receiving full transcripts of the conversations.

Engelbert Kaempfer
Engelbert Kaempfer. The history of Japan.London, 1728.
In 1692, Engelbert Kaempfer (1651-1716) physician with the Dutch East India Company, smuggled out of Japan the first systematic collection of Japanese materials to be seen in Europe. Kaempfer's collection became the basis of the West's earliest scientific account of the closed island empire. Sir Hans Sloane, a founder of the British Museum, purchased Kaempfer's library and papers from his nephew between 1723-5. He then arranged for Kaempfer's German manuscript to be published in English. This was undertaken at Sloane's expense by his librarian, a Swiss doctor called Johann Caspar Scheuchzer (1702-29).The publication of the History of Japan in 1727 immortalised Kaempfer as 'the first interpreter of Japan'. It contains descriptions of acupuncture, the use of opium and cannabis and a systematic description of tea, as well as extensive botanical observations. It was praised by Linnaeus, who adopted Kaempfer's nomenclature. Luis Borges was fascinated by Kaempfer's work and frequently referred to it in his fiction.

The old adage 'you play like you train' is never truer than when applied to athletics.
Think about it: every other sport your kids are involved in requires them to turn up at least once a week for practice, so that they'll be up to the challenge come Saturday/Sunday morning games. Running, jumping and throwing are no different—the more you put in on the training track, the better you'll perform on match day.
At BLAC, we're all about personal development and enjoyment. We invite your athletes to come down to Dendy Park during the week to receive top quality coaching from experienced coaches and pro athletes. We're really ramping up the coaching and training this season and we're hoping to boost the number of athletes attending.
We also want to dispel the myth about who training is for: It is for anyone who wants to develop their technique in a particular event(s). It's not just for the fastest, or strongest, or highest/longest jumpers. We want to encourage participation and improvement.
Training days are also a vital part of building camaraderie and team spirit among athletes. Athletics is for the most part an individual pursuit. By attending training midweek, your athlete will have a great opportunity to forge new friendships whilst pushing each other to greater heights at the same time.
So coaching at BLAC 63…check out the below for all the fast facts.
What coaching is available?
We have Coaches who cover all the different types of athletic events that your athlete/s will participate in during a competition day. This means Throws (discuss, shot put etc), Sprints
(70m – 200m), Distance (400m+), Hurdles (all distances) and Jumps (high, long and triple!).
We also have extra-curricular coaching in every discipline throughout the week or booked by appointment. See below for a full list of our expert coaching staff, their contact details and training sessions.
When & where is coaching?
Coaching is provided at the top oval at Dendy Park – our usual competition location during summer.
Field Training: Tuesday 5:30 – 7pm *
Tuesday is field day, with training from 5.30pm onwards.
*Throws start at 5.30pm and Long Jump / Triple Jump / High jump starts at 6pm to allow for cross discipline training for those who want it in the one session.
We have experienced coaches (Jack & Damian on Throws and Brett on LJ/TJ) running sessions for throwing events—discuss, shot put and javelin—as well as jumps—long, triple and high.
Track Training: Thursday 5:30 – 7pm*
Thursday is track day, with training for sprints starting at 5.30pm and Hurdles at 6pm sharp. Stay tuned for details about distance training as well!
Relay Training: Sunday 4:30 – 6pm
Sunday afternoons are for relay training. As many of you will know, BLAC is an active participant in regional and state relay championships and we have a proud history of sending many teams and snaring some excellent results with our relay teams. BLAC veteran Cameron Tampion is heading our relay training and will be running sessions on Sunday afternoons from mid-October. Stay tuned for details about when training starts.
We need more coaches and parent participation!
Whilst we have an excellent array of experienced coaches across most events, we are always keen to get more people on board. All parents are encouraged to support the athletes on competition days. The most important attributes we're looking for are enthusiasm and commitment (a bit of kid-wrangling comes in handy too!). But if you really want to develop your own coaching skills, we can arrange for you to attend an Introduction to Coaching Course (ITCC), which Little Athletics Victoria schedules regularly during the season. We'll even pay for you to become a coach!
If you're interested in getting involved in coaching, please contact BLAC coaching director David Saunders at: firstname.lastname@example.com
See below for further details about the Introduction to Coaching Course.
BLAC Sponsored:
Take your first step into basic athletics skills coaching.
All practical .... No exam .... No previous experience necessary!
If you want to learn more about athletics for kids, then the ITCC is for you!
The ITCC is designed to help participants become better placed to assist children to perform basic athletic skills. The course is great for parents, school teachers and other interested persons who want to know a little more about the skills of the sport so that they may help to coach children of Primary school age, assist at Little Athletics Centres or prepare students for a school athletics carnival. Participants will be shown skills, drills, games and activities relevant to the target age group.
The ITCC is a non accredited practical coaching course designed for Little Athletics and conducted on behalf of the Australian Track and Field Coaching Association (ATFCA).
Course Outcomes
At the conclusion of the course the participant will, for the target age group:
- Better understand an appropriate working model for each Little Athletics event
- Have a greater knowledge of appropriate drills, skills, games and activities for particular event groups
- Identify some of the more common technical faults of events
- Have a basic understanding of a simple coaching session
- Better understand how to organise a group safely
1 Day course - 6.5 hours duration - approx. 8.45am to 3.20pm
Participants need to be minimum of 16 years of age at the time of the course.

Make Sure Your College Student Has These Shots Before Returning To Campus
Teens and young adults have a tendency to believe they're completely invincible. But their lifestyle – which often involves high levels of stress, inadequate amounts of sleep and close living quarters – can put them at an increased risk of certain infections such as flu, mumps, meningitis and HPV. As students return to class after winter break, they're reunited with classmates, roommates, and professors who may have been exposed to infectious diseases during their travels to other states or other countries.
While it's impossible to prevent every cough and sniffle, parents can help protect their kids by ensuring they're up-to-date on all their recommended vaccines.
So what are all the vaccines that are recommended for teens and young adults?
And wouldn't they be required for school anyway?
Vaccine requirements vary by state and don't necessarily include all the vaccines that the CDC recommends. Therefore, as winter break come to an end, parents should review their students' immunization records and arrange for them to get any missing shots before they return to class.
Here are a few of the diseases that students should be protected against.
Influenza is a dangerous viral infection that causes hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths each year in the U.S., even among health people of all ages. For the best protection, the CDC recommends that everyone over the age of 6 months receive an annual influenza vaccine.
Unfortunately, while flu vaccination rates are typically the highest among children, rates tend to drop among teens and young adults. If your college student hasn't already received their annual flu vaccine it's not too late. Bring them to their healthcare provider or local pharmacy to get them protected before they return to campus. Although it can take up to two weeks to develop antibodies post-vaccination, flu season often extends well into Spring, so students will benefit from protection for many months to come.
Mumps may not be considered "common" in the U.S. thanks to a 99% decrease in mumps cases once mumps vaccination began in 1967, but there have been several mumps outbreaks on college campuses in the past year, and approximately 4,258 cases across 46 states and DC in 2016.
This shouldn't come as much of a surprise when you consider that crowded environments, such a large classes and dormitory living can all contribute to the likelihood of outbreaks. Also, since mumps is spread primarily through saliva, coughing and sneezing, teen behaviors such as kissing or sharing plates, utensils, cups, lipstick or cigarettes, are all factors that can increase the likelihood of transmission.

Triumph Over Smallpox Reminds Us That Vaccines Help Prevent Disease Every Day
Every Child By Two's State of the ImmUnion campaign is honoring National Immunization Awareness Month (#NIAM16) with a Blog Relay highlighting the importance of vaccines across the lifespan and across the nation.
In this guest post, we hear from Heidi Parker, MA, Executive Director of Immunize Nevada. She reminds us that promoting health and preventing disease is not just a cause to recognize during the month of August; instead, it is something we need to do each and every day.
By Heidi Parker, MA, Executive Director of Immunize Nevada
Dr. Donald A. Henderson passed away recently, with little media attention or fanfare. This is alarming, considering "saving millions of lives" was listed as one of his life accomplishments.
In case you're wondering who he is, Dr. Henderson led the global effort to eradicate smallpox — a disease that, in the 20th century and before it was extinguished, was blamed for at least 300 million deaths. Clearly, his triumph over smallpox proved the power of vaccines.
During National Immunization Awareness Month, we are reminded that promoting health and preventing disease is not just a cause to recognize during the month of August; instead, it is something we need to do each and every day.
We must be relentless, much like Dr. Henderson was. Why? Because our news feeds continue to be filled with stories of vaccine-preventable diseases – a teen dies from meningococcal disease; a summer camp closes due to a whooping cough outbreak; college campuses battle mumps; measles spreads at music festivals; an infant too young to be vaccinated dies from pertussis; the list goes on.
In the United States, vaccines have reduced — and in some cases, eliminated — many of the diseases that killed or severely disabled people just a few generations ago. My great-grandfather died during the 1918 Influenza Flu Pandemic, along with millions of others; but decades later, our family is protected from this deadly virus when we get our annual flu shot. By vaccinating children against rubella (German measles), the risk that pregnant women will pass this virus on to their fetus or newborn has been dramatically decreased, and birth defects associated with that virus are now rarely seen. Countless examples like these demonstrate, day after day, vaccines are one of public health's greatest achievements.
Unfortunately, tens of thousands of Americans still suffer serious health problems, are hospitalized, and even die from vaccine-preventable diseases. Read more…
I Want Parents to Know About the Additional Meningococcal Vaccine That Could Have Saved My Daughter
As a mother and a nurse, I was vigilant in having both of my children up-to-date on all recommended vaccinations, including meningococcal vaccination. I was under the common misconception, as many parents are, that the meningococcal vaccine that my daughter received would fully protect her from meningococcal disease, when in fact, it didn't protect her against meningitis B. The meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) only protects against four of the five common groups (ACWY), leaving adolescents and young adults vulnerable to meningitis B. Meningitis B is a type of bacterial meningitis, also known as meningococcal disease, which is a potentially fatal bacterial infection that can kill a healthy person within 24 hours.
When my daughter Kimberly Coffey died in 2012 from bacterial meningitis, a vaccine was not available to protect her. But since 2014, meningitis B vaccination has been available in the United States. Kimberly was a perfectly healthy 17-year-old high school senior, and I believe she would be alive today if meningitis B vaccination had been available to her.
I established The Kimberly Coffey Foundation in Kimberly's honor to educate other parents and health care providers about meningitis B, also known as MenB.
It's critical that parents know that MenB vaccination is now available, and that without requesting MenB vaccination in addition to the common meningococcal vaccine (MCV4), their child will not be fully protected against meningococcal disease and MenB.
The Kimberly Coffey Foundation has partnered with Pfizer on the National Meningococcal Disease Awareness Survey to gain a better understanding of parents' knowledge of meningococcal disease and its available vaccines. This 2016 survey revealed that nearly 4 out of 5 parents didn't know their child wasn't fully immunized against the five common groups of meningococcal disease unless they had two meningococcal vaccines (MCV4 and MenB).
The bottom line is this – without adding MenB vaccination, we are going to lose more lives. There will continue to be more college outbreaks, especially since MenB has been responsible for several recent college outbreaks in the United States. According to data released by the CDC, MenB currently accounts for approximately 50% of meningococcal disease in the United States among persons aged 17-22 years old. MenB vaccination is available for individuals ages 10-25, and public health insurance and most private insurance plans provide coverage. However, your child's provider may not mention it.
I want parents to have the knowledge to request MenB vaccination, in addition to the meningococcal vaccine, so that their children can potentially be fully protected against this devastating disease.
As a mother who lives every day with the heartache of not seeing my beautiful daughter live the full life she deserved, I know only too well how important MenB vaccination is. My daughter Kimberly's life was one too many lost to this terrible disease.
I will be Kimberly's voice as I continue to promote awareness of meningococcal disease, which includes MenB. I don't ever want another parent to experience what I have. And more important, I don't want another person to experience what Kimberly did when she battled for her life.
Kimberly contracted MenB two years too early—two years before the MenB vaccine was made available. She didn't have the protection of the MenB vaccination, but your children can. Please protect your children – because YOU can.
For more information about meningitis B and the MenB vaccine, please visit the Kimberly Coffey Foundation at www.kimberlycoffeyfoundation.org.

The State of the ImmUnion in Maine: Tweens, Teens and Vaccines
Every Child By Two's State of the ImmUnion campaign is honoring National Immunization Awareness Month (#NIAM16) with a Blog Relay highlighting the importance of vaccines across the lifespan and across the nation.
In this fourth guest post, we learn how Maine has made great strides in stepping up the state's vaccination rates for infants, babies and young children to at or above national levels. But when it comes to adolescents, Maine – like many other states – still has some catching up to do.
At Vax Maine Kids, they're working hard to make sure parents know how to protect their childrenfrom several serious illnesses that can strike during the teen years.
This guest post by Franklin Health Pediatrics pediatrician, Dr. Gabe Civiello, highlights the importance of vaccines for preteens and teens and explains what Maine is doing to improve adolescent immunization rates.
By Gabriel Civiello, MD in collaboration with Vax Maine Kids
Healthcare providers all across Maine are celebrating the recent rebound in vaccination rates for our youngest children. In fact, our childhood immunization rates rank among the highest in the country. According to the 2014 National Immunization Survey, over 85% of Maine toddlers are up-to-date on their recommended vaccinations, and kindergarten non-medical exemption requests fell to 3.9% during the 2014-2015 school year.
The trends aren't quite as positive for Maine's preteens and teens, however. Nationwide, as children grow into their preteen and teen years, under immunization becomes much more common—and Maine is no exception. In fact, Maine's vaccination rates for the meningococcal vaccine and the tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine are below the national average and the lowest in New England. Following the national trend, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine rates in Maine are at least half of the rates of the other adolescent vaccines.
Why are immunization rates lower for Maine teens?
- Preteens and teens have lower attendance at well child visits. If they aren't seeing their healthcare provider on a regular basis, they and their parents aren't being reminded of the CDC-recommended vaccination schedule (and the importance of sticking to it). When teens see a provider solely for sick visits or emergencies, vaccinations may not come up in the discussion as often as they should.
- Critical vaccines for teens are not required for school attendance in Maine. Teens are allowed to attend school without getting the meningococcal vaccine and the HPV vaccine, and Maine is one of only three states that doesn't require the Tdap vaccine. By leaving these vaccines out of school requirements, parents may get the impression that their children don't need them.
- The HPV vaccine remains as poorly understood and under-utilized (by families and providers), in Maine as it is elsewhere in the country. We aren't communicating the importance of safely vaccinating adolescents against the common cancers caused by the HPV virus before they become sexually active as well as we could.
There is good news for Maine teens in the NIS data, however. Our HPV vaccination rates are higher than the national average. This tells us that Maine parents and providers want to protect our children all the way into adulthood, and that HPV vaccine rates will likely improve with better communication about the vaccine.
Which diseases threaten Maine teens, and which vaccines can protect them?
There are four vaccines that are routinely recommended for all preteens between 11 and 12 years of age. Teens also need a booster dose of meningococcal vaccine at age 16, and teens may also need additional vaccines based on risk factors, travel, or if they missed previous doses. The vaccines routinely recommended for preteen and teen girls and boys are:
- Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, which protects against four types of meningococcal disease. Meningococcal disease is caused by bacteria and is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis – a serious infection around the brain and spinal cord – in teens and young adults. Two doses are needed for full protection.
- HPV vaccine, which protects against several types of HPV. HPV can cause cancers of the cervix, vulva and vagina in females and cancers of the penis in males. In both females and males, HPV infection can also lead to head/neck cancers, anal cancer and genital warts. Three doses are needed for full protection.
- Tdap vaccine, which is a booster shot against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. Pertussis (whooping cough) can keep kids out of school and activities for weeks. Infants, for whom pertussis can be deadly, are often infected by an older sibling or adult. A Tdap vaccine is recommended between the ages of 11-12 (with boosters for tetanus and diphtheria (Td) needed every 10 years throughout adulthood).
- Flu vaccine, because even healthy kids can get influenza, and it can be serious. All preteens and teens, should get the flu vaccine every year.

5 Ways to Keep Your College-Bound Student Healthy
Preparing a kid for college is akin to preparing for their arrival at birth. There are so many details to think about, choices to consider and preparations to be made that it's easy to become completely overwhelmed. As parents, we want nothing more than to ensure that our children are well prepared – both physically and emotionally – for all the challenges they are about to face.
While it's natural to focus on the dorm items your child might need, parents should also help prepare their teen for the responsibilities they will have in managing their own health. Once they move into that dorm, you will no longer be there to fill their prescriptions, fetch their medicine, make their doctor's appointments, or otherwise ensure they are getting the medical attention they need. It will be up to them to maintain a healthy diet, get adequate rest, and protect themselves from the dangers of alcohol, drugs and unwanted or unsafe sex. They will need to know when to seek professional medical attention if they should get sick, injured or find themselves struggling with mental or physical needs.
Before your child heads off to college, here are five things you can do to help them stay healthy:
1.) Get your child a physical exam.
When kids are young, parents are accustomed to bringing them in for well-visits. However, it's not uncommon for kids to miss yearly check-ups in lieu of sports physicals and sick visits. Before your child heads to campus, make sure to schedule a comprehensive health exam. The conversation your child has with the doctor should help prepare them to manage their current health conditions while away at school (such as any known allergies, specialist appointments and regular medications) while also opening the discussion to the dangers of stress, poor diet, inadequate sleep, binge drinking, drug experimentation and unsafe sex. If their provider fails to cover these issues completely, it's important that parents weigh in on these concerns as well. You can let your child know that while you trust them to make responsible decisions, you are always available for advice and support.
2.) Get all the recommended vaccines, not just those required by the school.
For many students, college can be a time of significant stress. Students don't always eat a healthy diet or get the proper rest. They live in close quarters and have a tendency to share cups and eating utensils. At some point your child may travel, or engage with fellow students and faculty members who have traveled, to areas where diseases are more prevalent. And studies show that college students are more likely to engage in risky behavior. All these conditions make students more susceptible to illness. It is also what contributes to the chances of outbreaks occurring on college campuses.
Making sure your child is up-to-date on all the recommended vaccines, not just those required by the school, can help them avoid dangerous and sometimes even deadly illnesses. While there are several immunizations that are recommended for college-age students, each state and college may have different admission requirements.
To best protect your college-bound student from preventable diseases, parents should consider the following vaccines for students before they arrive on campus: Read more…
How My Vaccinated Daughter Died From Meningitis and What I'm Doing About It
This is a guest post, written by Alicia Stillman, Director of the Emily Stillman Foundation. One of the missions of the Foundation is to raise awareness of meningococcal disease and the various vaccines that are now available to prevent it.
February 2, 2013 my life changed forever. I was told my beautiful and healthy nineteen year old daughter no longer had any brain activity, and that she would die. Those words will forever haunt me. There is no preparation, no training, and no practice for what was to come. The loss of a child is like none other. It is the wrong order. When you lose a child, a piece of you dies as well.
On January 31, 2013 my middle daughter Emily called home from college, and mentioned she had a headache. I thought she was possibly coming down with the flu. She thought it may be from lack of sleep. We decided she would take Motrin and go to bed. Several hours later she woke up to increased pain and was taken to the hospital where she was treated for a migraine. It was not until hours later that the medical professionals realized they may be looking at meningococcal disease, and performed a lumbar puncture to confirm.
The entire two hour drive to the hospital I begged the medical professionals to double check the results. Since I knew my daughter had been vaccinated against meningitis, I did not believe it was possible for her to have that disease. I feared that something else would go untreated, and I wanted them to heal her.
When I arrived at the hospital, Emily was already unconscious as they prepared her for a craniotomy to relieve the swelling in her brain. When the nurse took me to see her, she asked if I wanted them to call clergy. That was the first time I actually realized the seriousness of this disease. I did not understand how this could be happening. My daughter only had a headache. She was vaccinated.
Within 30 hours from the onset of her headache, my daughter was brain dead. Her life was over. We decided Emily would want to be an organ donor. She was able to save five lives with six organs, and countless others with her bones and tissue. She was a hero.
As I said goodbye to my sweet daughter in that hospital bed, I made her a promise. Read more…

Flu shots do not protect arthritis patients who are being treated with the intravenous drug rituximab, according to a new study by Dutch researchers, The New York Times and Los Angeles Times reported Jan. 7.
Rheumatoid arthritis, which affects more than 4.6 million people worldwide, is an autoimmune disease that attacks the patient's joints and surrounding tissues. It also compromises a patient's immune system, leaving him or her at risk to a variety of infections. Most physicians recommend that patients receive a flu vaccination every year to ward off serious illness, and also recommend immunization against pandemic H1N1 influenza.
But the study found that in patients vaccinated close to the time they get rituximab, the drug does not promote the formation of antibodies to protect against arthritis. Researchers recommended giving the shots well before the rituximab treatment.
The study began long before swine flu emerged, but the effects on that vaccine are expected to be similar. Rituximab is sold under the names Rituxan and MabThera.
Dr. Sander van Assen of the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands studied 23 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who were taking rituximab, 20 patients taking methotrexate and 29 healthy individuals, all of whom were given the seasonal flu vaccine.
Among those taking rituximab, 11 received the vaccine four to eight weeks after treatment and 12 were given it six to 10 months after treatment. The team reported in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism that those given the vaccine in the weeks after treatment developed no protective antibodies, while those given it later developed some antibodies, but not as many as healthy people. Those taking methotrexate developed normal flu protection.
The doctors recommended that patients being treated with the drug be given the vaccines for seasonal flu and H1N1 flu before treatment begins.

The overwhelming fear of dental appointments can be a common cause of anxiety. Many people visualize a drill-wielding man in a white coat just waiting to cause pain and remove teeth. The reality, however, is very different. The comfort, relaxation, and happiness of the patient are the primary focus of any good dental practice. The staff at the practice will do whatever they can to reduce anxiety, allay fears, and provide painless, quick treatments.
Recent technological advancements have meant that in many cases, dentists are able to replace noisy drills with painless laser beams. There are also a wide variety of safe anesthetics available to eliminate pain and reduce anxiety during routine appointments.
Here is a list of some of the most common dental fears:
How can one overcome dental anxiety?
Dental anxiety and fear can become completely overwhelming. It is estimated that as many as 35 million people do not visit the dental office at all because they are too afraid. Receiving regular dental check-ups and cleanings is incredibly important. Having regular routine check-ups is the easiest way to maintain excellent oral hygiene and reduce the need for more complex treatments.
Here are some tips to help reduce dental fear and anxiety:
Talk to us – We can't read minds. Though it can be hard to talk about irrational fears with a stranger, we can take extra precautions during visits if fears and anxiety are communicated.
Bring a portable music player – Music acts as a relaxant and also drowns out any fear-producing noises. Listening to calming music throughout the appointment will help to reduce anxiety.
Agree on a signal – Many people are afraid that the dentist will not know they are in significant pain during the appointment and will continue with the procedure regardless. The best way to solve this problem is to agree on a "stop" hand signal. Both parties can easily understand signals like raising the hand or tapping on the chair.
Spray the throat – Throat sprays (for example, Vicks® Chloraseptic® Throat Spray) can actually control the gag reflex. Two or three sprays will usually keep the reflex under control for about an hour.
Take a mirror – Not being able to see what is happening can increase anxiety and make the imagination run wild. Watching the procedure can help keep reality at the forefront of the mind.
Sedation – If there is no other way to cope, sedation offers an excellent option for many people. There are several types of sedation, but the general premise behind them is the same: the patient regains their faculties after treatment is complete.
Ask about alternatives – Advances in technology mean that dental microsurgery is now an option. Lasers can be used to prepare teeth for fillings, whiten teeth, and remove staining. Discuss all the options with us and decide on one that is effective and produces minimal anxiety.
If you have questions or concerns about how we can help you overcome anxiety and fear, please contact our office.
"Dr. Cho is the best dentist I have ever had. After years of bad dentists, and even some that I thought were very good, only this man stands above the rest. He holds a unique philosophy of preventative dentistry and wants his clients to understand the full benefits of the methods involved. You will also see proof that he invests in superior technological advancements, such as electronic x-rays. I had never heard of such a thing, but it allows the patient to see high-resolution results of an x-ray in mere seconds on the LCD screen. He may also take pictures of all your teeth using a special oral digital camera. Now I call that attention to detail! He also has an amazingly well-balanced personality with interests in varying fields. You might even learn something new just by chatting with him in between your cleanings."
"I must recommend Dr. Cho to anyone in the Orange County area looking for a great dentist. I hope your visits are as enjoyable as mine. Good luck!"
-- K. Hermans
"I hate going to the dentist… more than anything in the world. I have been needing to go to the dentist for a long time, and finally decided to gather up courage and go. As soon as I called to make an appointment I had a great feeling. The woman on the phone was extremely nice and helpful. I went to my appointment (palms sweating) and was warmly welcomed by that same woman whose voice I remembered from my previous call. I met Dr. Cho and I have never felt so comfortable in a dentist chair. He was very caring and understood my immense fear of the dentist and did a wonderful job of making me feel at home. He definitely knows what he is doing. He explained everything and was very patient with all of my questions. He is personable, smart, and kind, and most of all..GENTLE! I look forward to my future appointments with him! The dental hygienist only works 2 days a week but I had the pleasure of being her patient. The entire staff is amazing!!! There aren't enough nice words for the people at this office! Needless to say..I am no longer scared to go to the dentist! Thank you guys!"

Working Towards A Better Industry & Environment
One of the key roles of the NGIWA is to ensure that best practices are adhered to within the growing and selling of plants and to this extent, members can become accredited through a number of national programs known as the Farm Management System. The accreditation scheme NIASA has gone a long way in not only combatting the pathogen Phytophthora but also reducing the introduction of naturally occurring pest and diseases in our diverse but fragile environment.
As part of its advocacy role, NGIWA continues to work closely with local and state government to ensure landscaping and revegetation programs are carried out under environmentally responsible and sustainable guidelines and that plant material is sourced where possible from accredited nurseries.
NGIWA is an active member of the Green Space Alliance which was formed in 2014. This group seeks to improve our environment by safe guarding and improving public open space particularly where new developments are concerned. It is vital we all work together to ensure a clear formula is achieved where physical structures impede on our natural landscape so that green space can be safeguarded or created.
We have also built strong relationships with key stakeholders within our industry and these include, but are not limited to, the Water Corporation and Perth NRM. For 2017 we will be rolling out across garden centres and nurseries a series of public workshops to promote sustainable horticultural practices that support WA's diminishing water ressources.
NGIWA is now firmly considered the peak body for horticulture in WA and belonging to a professional Association cannot be underestimated in value to an individual or a business. NGIWA prides itself on being an Association that is informative, up to date and working with leaders in all facets of horticulture. Above all it delivers true fellowship which ensures the nursery and garden industry will continue to grow for many more generations.
NextGen is a networking and social group for young people who work in the horticulture industry. The nursery and garden sector is full of enthusiastic and successful individuals and NextGen is a forum for those people between (but not restricted to) the ages of 18 and 35 to meet, exchange ideas, hone leadership skills and most of all have fun!
NextGen WA is an NGIWA initiative to help future leaders within the Western Australian horticulture, landscaping and related industries meet their peers and form useful, educational and lasting relationships. Our members are from all facets of horticulture and embody the next generation of industry leaders. We meet regularly in a social environment to share, network and learn.
The group aims to build membership numbers and establish a forum for its members to become more familiar within their chosen career.
