What Works for Cough?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - February 12, 2018
If you're like everyone I'm seeing in the clinic these days, your cough may be keeping you up at night, and driving you and your coworkers crazy. Do any of the over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription medications really work for a cough? Let's walk through it.
First, let's go through the OTC cough suppressants
- Acute cough due to viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI) is the most common form of cough, and a ton of money is spent on prescription and non-prescription cough medications. See More
Do I Need Antibiotics for My Cough?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - December 10, 2014
Coughing brings many of you to the doctor. Most of this is acute bronchitis, an inflammation of the bronchi (airways) due to upper airway infection. For almost all of you, it is self-limited and will go away on its own. It may surprise you to know this respiratory condition is generally caused by a virus, but reports indicate that more than 60 to 90 percent of patients with acute bronchitis who come to the doctor are given antibiotics.

What's the Best Cough Medicine?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - June 02, 2014
Is your cough keeping you awake or driving your co-workers crazy? Read on—you are sick with a viral upper respiratory infection and the cough is bugging you all day. Yes, there are many opiate/narcotic prescription cough suppressants like promethazine/codeine (aka Sizzurp) that work well at night to suppress cough. But we can't use those all the time for many reasons: you can't afford to feel dopey during the day, codeine makes many folks nauseated, and it's habit forming. See More
Medicine Cabinet 101
Dr. Sharon Orrange - June 20, 2012
To avoid the 1 AM trip to the pharmacy you need to be well stocked at home. Headaches, pain, hives, fever, or an itchy rash may be easily remedied with over-the-counter meds. Here are ten things you and your family will face, so be ready:
1. Aches and pains: Toothache, pain from ankle sprain, tension headache
What works? The over the counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) include ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin and Aleve. See More

We gotta work work work work
(And have some fun)
(Let's get the work done) (x2)
Many things to do
And many many goals
If we don't work hard
we get nothing at all
Many situations
will put us to the test
but we can overcome them
if we try our best

What is a Thread in Java?
A thread executes a series of instructions. Every line of code that is processed is done so by a thread. Few threads can run for the complete life of the applet, while others are alive for only a few milliseconds. A thread can also create a new thread or kills an existing one if when a new thread is created by the user. The Threads run in methods or constructors. The methods and constructors reside in the computer's memory themselves are lifeless in thread case. The threads go into the methods and continue to follow their instructions.

Highlights of Alumni Interviews
What made you choose to participate in W.I.S.E.?
"Frankly there were not that many options at the time I participated in WISE program, but later on things changed." Jan Cerny
"The need for help to achieve my academic goals in the US. I needed help with residency program interviews (and a roof to stay dry)." Bob-Paul Erdelyi
"I had a will to try something new and different." Igor Fedor
"It was a unique opportunity to gain professional education outside of the old (bad) communist scholar system." Marian Heczko
"I wanted to get some research experience in the USA, the citadel of medical research." Zoltan Huszti
"I always wanted to live and work abroad for a while. I think this is an enormously useful experience, both in the professional and private life. People can learn a lot about the world and themselves by spending time in a different country. WISE seemed to be as a good starting point as any." Timea Kovats
"I had wanted to have medical experience abroad since my first year of medicine. Following the political overturn in 1989, I tested several possibilities and W.I.S.E. was on of those that worked. Thanks again to Carl for the offer and for the great work he did with us. If this is the right point to say thank you, I am doing it right now." Jan Kristek
"I was curious both about organization of the medical system in USA as well about the country itself. This program offered good opportunity to confront my ideas about the USA with reality." Krzysztof Laudanski
"I wanted to get practice in research in a country where research is being done on the top level. Further I was very much interested in the American culture, people, their work, thoughts and everyday life." Attila Markus
"The opportunity to learn more." Vladimir Nikolic
"I wanted to get acquainted with health care system in the US and I also felt I needed a little break from my studies at the medical school." Eva Pospisilova
"I heard about the program from friends who were former WISE students. I wanted to do research and test my skills for research before applying for residency. I wanted to improve my English, and have a 'life-training' experience, alone in foreign country, taking care of myself." Peter Svec
"The true story is that I am addicted to hi-tech. All this equipment just drives me crazy. So I heard about WISE from my friend, then called Dr. Hanson, and couple weeks later...Worcester, MA!" Victor Zaporojan
How was the emphasis of your medical education in your home country different than that of your American colleagues? Do you feel that your previous medical education and training adequately prepared you for the work during your participation in the W.I.S.E. program?
"As last-year medical students in the Czech republic, we spend about 70% of our time in classrooms and the rest running grand rounds with the department head. Only about 10% of our clinical time is spent doing bedside doctor "labor" - taking history, organizing investigations, discussing the cases and differential diagnosis, etc. The US way is more task-oriented; it emphasizes hands-on learning instead of memorizing symptoms of a syndrome that you might see only once in a lifetime." Ales Chrdle, Czech Republic
"I found many similarities between Romanian and American medical education, although the training received during medical school is applied much better in the US." Daniel Danila, Romania
"My medical education was fairly rigid and somewhat lacking in direct patient contact. I found myself spending a lot of time polishing my bedside manner (and Dr. Hanson helped a lot here, with rotations in his practice and the local ER). I believe that my basic medical education helped a lot, but it took a lot of jazz (improvising) and extra learning to get up to par with the Yanks, who were educated more along the lines of "throw them in the water from day one and let's see if they can make it…" I believe that this approach makes better clinicians, and people seem to like their doctors more in the US then back home. The low wage-poor job performance cycle seems to be unbreakable in some countries." Bob-Paul Erdelyi, Romania
"US medical education system emphasizes more practical, clinical skills. The system in my country was predominantly focused on theoretical knowledge, lacking enough patient exposure and problem-based teaching." Maros Ferencik, Slovakia
"My previous training experience was inadequate as compared to that of the U.S. medical students, or rather, it was incomparable." Marian Heczko, Czech Republic
"The Czech republic follows a 6-year system that starts after secondary school. This means that our starting doctors are much younger." Jan Hruby, Czech Republic
"The Czech and American systems are a bit different. I admired, enjoyed, and had trouble with the American stress on the practical aspect of medical training; [as medical students] we had the virtual role of responsible postgraduate doctors under the strict and helpful eyes of our residents and attendings. After the necessary period of surprises and uneasy adjustment to the foreign system, I think I caught up with my American colleagues relatively quickly. To summarize, I have the feeling the Czech education prepared us quite well." Jan Kristek, Czech Republic
"I have found that the education system in the Czech Republic is on a very high level a little bit more theoretical than in the US. In my opinion, the biggest difference in the European system (of German root medicine) is the emphasis on tradition." Hynek Mergental, Czech Republic
"I was totally unprepared and had no research experience before I came to the US. Medical education in the US prepares the students perfectly for medical practice. They learn to do things. It is more academic in my home country. We know a lot but are unable to do anything practical when we graduate. American medical education prepares the students for life much better." Eva Pospisilova, Czech Republic
"Medical education in Bulgaria was quite sufficient in terms of building a wide knowledge base, but most of the real advances in medicine were not widely available there. We could read about them but not practice them first-hand." Stefan Tachev, Bulgaria
"I think our medical training offers closer interactions between doctor and patient. It requires more analytical skills and a greater understanding of what is going on as compared to the American system which is like an industry: push the right button and get the result." Victor Zaporojan, Moldova
Did living in the W.I.S.E. community help you make the transitions that you had to make?
"I guess so! Definitely seeing people that had been in my shoes before and who had made it so successfully helped me to transition to the new concept." Daniel Danila
"Absolutely, every participant was there to help and I learned a lot more in a lot less time than it would have taken me to figure things out by myself (that's not to say that I admit to being slow after a few beers :)" Bob-Paul Erdelyi
"Yes, that's for sure." Igor Fedor
"Meeting people in Worcester helped me a lot, both in terms of my professional career (providing me with a resource of previous WISE students' experiences) and my social life (hiking, travelling, and trips with the guys form the WISE program)." Maros Ferencik
"In my life, wherever I go, the most important factor for happiness or just to manage is the people whom I meet. So, of course it helped a lot that I lived together with people who were in the same situation, got similar education ,and we could give company and help to each other." Timea Kovats
"It definitely exposed me to many challenges which made me more flexible when meeting with other people." Krzysztof Laudanski
"I got all of the recommendations and knowledge that I was looking for from friends in the WISE community." Hynek Mergental
"Hearing that it's not possible to make an American friend, and hearing the constant complaints about various 'senseless' things in the USA suggests that there was not a real transition going on." Vladimir Nikolic
"The WISE community is an excellent way to help new participants adjust to new conditions." Peter Svec
"Absolutely. It also helped me make some good friendships that I maintain to this moment." Stefan Tachev
"Living in the WISE community gave me a lot of support at the very beginning; it is really important to know that you are not alone. People around can give you lots of useful advice, cheer you up when needed, but also calm you down." Jiri Zvolanek
Sometimes, there are moments that come to symbolize adjustments in life, such as the meeting of cultures or the change from old to new. Do you have a story that describes the cultural, personal, or medical transitions that you were making while with W.I.S.E.?
"…we have a saying that when you want to learn how to swim, you first must jump into water (or somebody has to push you there). If you survive as you start swimming, you will be fine." Jan Cerny
"The ticket to Boston was one way only! Uncle Sxx, will you ever forgive me for this?" Bob-Paul Erdelyi
"I really saw that almost everything is possible for patients in the hospital. Day-to-day living [in the US] is extremely easy for people. Here is a typical story: it is always necessary to have an ID card in the hospital. In the Czech Republic, I would ask the office each week and I had to wait three months for it. In Great Britain, it took three weeks. And at UMass, they gave me an ID card within 10 minutes." Hynek Mergental
"The only transition I had to make was that I had to stop thinking as a 'physician' and had to start thinking as a 'scientist'." Eva Pospisilova
"My WISE experience showed me the liberties that people in the US had long before we got them in Eastern Europe." Stefan Tachev

Ohio in middle of pack in disaster preparedness, report says; state disputes scoring
State disputes part of preparedness rating
December 19, 2008
by Michael Sangiacomo
Plain Dealer Reporter
Ohio ranked in the middle of the pack among states in its preparedness for calamities such as disease pandemics, natural disasters or bioterrorist attacks, according to a report released this week.
But state officials noted they did well in eight of the 10 categories in the report by the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Ohio failed in two areas the foundation considered.
In one of those failed areas, Ohio's public-health laboratory was judged unable to meet the expectations of the state's pandemic flu plan. The other failed area was a lack of state laws to reduce or limit the legal liability of health care volunteers who serve during a public-health emergency.

On Friday May 22, on the eve of Wesleyan's commencement, reunion and other university-wide celebrations, the DKE house was vandalized by a group of people who object to our efforts to protect our rights as a fraternity. The house and grounds were sprayed with silly string and the yard was littered with pamphlets that strongly implied that the vandals were feminists who couldn't tolerate our continued existence.
To the perpetrators of this vandalism we say: we understand that you are angry, but believe that your anger is misplaced. We regret that you resorted to vandalism to make your point. Isn't the entire objective of a Wesleyan education to open minds and to create a space where open and honest debate is possible? Vandalizing our private property in the dead of the night and leaving anonymous fliers is completely contrary to the spirit of Wesleyan. We believe that the best way to resolve issues is through communication. To that end, if there is a way to facilitate greater understanding through open dialogue we are willing to meet with you and hear what you have to say – no questions asked and no charges filed. We know you read this website, since your flier refers to Cardinal Truths, and we hope you will respond positively to this offer. Just send us a message via this website's "contact us" button and we'll schedule a discussion.
Regrettably, this is not the first time that threats have been made against DKE. The Facebook page of a Wesleyan student group featured one post that said "BURN IT DOWN" and another that said "WE SHOULD JUST THROW ROCKS THROUGH ITS WINDOWS." The administration has taken none of these threats seriously, although they would be considered hate crimes if committed against any other organization on campus.
It's too bad the administration has created a hostile environment for anyone who thinks fraternities should have the same rights as any other campus organization. We call on Wesleyan to lower the rhetoric, to support free expression for ALL ideas, and to take these threats seriously before it is too late.
We also reiterate our call for a temperature-lowering dialogue with those who are angry enough to vandalize the house. Meeting face to face is the first step toward reconciliation.

Severe and Persistent Mental Illness
Mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada for people ages 15 to 44, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Fortunately, only about six percent – or 1 in 17 – suffer from a severe and persistent mental illness.
Source: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/the-numbers-count-mental-disorders-in-america/index.shtml
Severe and persistent mental illness, or SPMI, is the term mental health professionals use to describe mental illnesses with complex symptoms that require ongoing treatment and management, most often varying types and dosages of medication and therapy.
A Cyclical Illness
Severe mental illness typically does not level off and remain at a steady state. Rather, symptoms come and go in relation to stress. As a result, people with SPMI may be able to function independently for periods of time but may need intensive support with housing, school, work, social functioning, and other everyday life concerns when they experience a stressful event.
A Misunderstood Illness
There are many misconceptions about severe mental illness. For example, many people think schizophrenia means "split personality" or they believe psychotic refers to someone who is very angry. Others think that these disorders are identical to mood disorders. In reality, every severe and persistent mental illness is a biological phenomenon caused by physical changes in the brain, causing marked changes in a person's ability to make choices based on consequences, to socialize, to access community supports, to identify what is real, and to organize thoughts.
Common SPMI Illnesses
- Schizophrenia
- Schizoaffective disorder
- Delusional disorder, psychosis not-otherwise-specified, and other psychotic disorders
- Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depression
- Severe depression that resists treatment and impacts ability to function
- Personality disorders that are severe enough to prevent functioning
Our Program and Services
At initial visit, all persons receive a detailed psychiatric and medical history and assessment of their current functioning. Persons then receive a recommendation for services, which may medications and individual or group psychotherapy. An individualized treatment plan is co-created with a primary clinical therapist. The primary clinical therapist will coordinate care with input from the person and family.
Admission Criteria
This program is for persons age 18 and older who live within a 45 minute drive from one of our clinical locations. Those persons who live beyond a 45 minute drive may receive consultation services via in person or through our internet telemedicine (audio-video) interface.
Our Staff and Services
Clinical staff include psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, clinical social workers, psychologists, and professional counselors. Using research-based, best-practice clinical skills, we assist persons with their recovery. We provide illness education and medication management, and help persons come up with personal coping and relapse prevention strategies.
Clinical services offered include:

Have your say: How safe do you feel motorcycling in London?
In 2014 27 riders of powered two-wheelers, including motorbikes and scooters, were killed on London's roads.
Despite representing just 1% of all traffic, powered two-wheeler riders accounted for 17% of all casualties in 2014. In light of these statistics, The London Assembly Transport Committee has launched a new online survey of motorcycle riders in London.
"We're aiming to find out about motorcyclists' experience of London's roads, how safe they feel, and what they think can be done to reduce the unacceptably high level of casualties," it said on its website.
The Transport Committee is also inviting stakeholder organisations to make written submissions to our investigation, building on the findings of a meeting with leading experts in October. The questions we would like to answer are:
- What should be the main priorities of Transport for London for improving the safety of motorcyclists in London?
- How can road design in London be improved to increase safety?
- What can be done to increase awareness of motorcyclists among other road users?
- What has been the impact of the policy of allowing motorcycles to access bus lanes?
- How can the skills of motorcyclists be improved? What, if anything, should be done to increase take-up of post-test training?
- How can the use of Personal Protective Equipment be increased among motorcyclists?
- How can the police better enforce rules of the road to improve motorcycling safety?
- What impact has TfL's Motorcycle Safety Action Plan been on the safety of motorcycling in London?
- What can London learn from other cities in the UK or overseas about improving the safety of motorcycling?
If you would like to make a submission, please email firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday 8 January 2015.
Please feel free to address any of the questions set out above, or any other issue you think the Committee should consider.

4 YEARS and STILL COUNTING!
|Posted by Miss Lamadrid HCL on August 8, 2012 at 9:20 AM
---PART II of Stuck in Between Loss and Hopes (written in July 2012, on this site! See Below!)---
Last month, I wrote something about being stuck in someone'sworld and being trapped in my own hate and pain. My boyfriend and I were almost near to break-up again for the nth time. We've been on and off. It was really my fault. I must admit I was very insecure because of the past which I wasn't supposed to. Despite of everything, it was still the best relationship I've ever had, which I think had made me even more paranoid than I usually would be. My thoughts were irrational, I thought of things exaggeratedly, until those things were no longer realistic. Everyone has fears in their relationships. For some reason that I was being cheated on before that my mind became completely obsessed by the crippling thought that he might do it again. What I'm saying is that, I think I had nothing to worry because he said, there's nothing to worry about because that was a horrible mistake and he won't ever do such things to hurt me again. But still, my mind was completely in fear-mode. The very thought of being cheated on and in pain filled in paranoid dread, so how must I start feeling like I had nothing to worry about?
We had plans together, we already had planned our future.Our future wedding, where to build up our own home, how many kids we'll be having, etc…etc… One time last month, he told me to leave him alone. I knew he was sick and tired of all the dramas and arguments about anything and everything. I was afraid that it was for real and that we won't recover this time. I thought I couldn't handle that, so I must do something. I'm the weak one who doesn't know how to start living all over again without him. I made myself dependent on him in so many ways that he became a part of me. I pressured him to talk about it soon, I kind of wanted to hear it instead of waiting and being sad and confused for too long. Since our anniversary was coming, I wanted to spend the whole special day with him. I asked him if I could be with him from 12:00MN of Aug 7 to 11:59PM of Aug 8. I've been moving into a new stage of my life, stressing a lot lately, crying, and so on. I like him, even with his inability to say the things I need to hear and everything. He has a lot of good sides, which make me want to be with him regardless. I was desperate to make it work and fix our relationship. If only I could bring back time to just go back to everything the way it was, I'd be willing to try harder.
It was Aug 7 at 5PM when I asked permission from momma if I can go to where my boyfriend is working because the next day is our anniversary and she said I can go tomorrow instead. My family likes my boyfriend way too much,they make him feel welcome in the family. I explained to momma about my concerns, but didn't tell her the exact reason why I wanted to go. I just told her that I waited for 364 days for that day, that I waited for too long to spend the day with someone who makes the day special. Sure thing she didn't understand that I was trying to save my relationship with the most important person in my life. The next day, Aug 8, I went to visit my boyfriend in the city while working. He absented himself from his work which gave me enough reason that he'sthe right one for me. We spent 24 hrs together, rode the karitela at night, had our dinner date, and had all the time talking things out. It was another best day of my life, of our life. After 24 hrs, I went home with a feeling that was more than just winning as gold medalist from the Olympics. So, momma finally understood that I tried to save my relationship and thanks to her 'cause she let me.

Rise and shine!
In the last week we were blessed with really sunny days. It is quite a rare event here in England and I learned to appreciate it (coming from Italy, I have suffered quite a lot about the dark and cold of winter months).
I realised that Spring is around the corner and I allowed myself to wonder and dream about all the exciting projects I will soon cast/hook on.
My first thought was to find a new colourful palette to draw inspiration from. During this time of the year, thanks to the first warm weather, I feel like I just want to work with cotton yarn.
Thanks to my local yarn shop in Lichfield (The Sewing Shop) I always have a wide choice of yarn to choose from.
My own personal Spring 2014 colour palette features my favourite cotton yarn: Stylecraft Classique!
I have way so many ideas and pattern in mind and I really cannot wait to start creating something new.
I personally didn't consider working with bright colours before, but since I saw some of the projects on Let's Get Crafting! Knitting & Crochet magazine I totally changed my mind. I now feel daring!
From their issue #52 I already realised a couple of patterns. You can see one of them on my Ravelry page, it is called Geometric Cushion a design of Lucinda Ganderton.
On my list there are projects like this wonderful Placemat and Coaster designed by Tamara Kelly
I also fell in love with Oscar the Owl by Amanda Berry that is also featured in #52 of Let's Get Crafting! Knitting & Crochet. Isn't it simply adorable?
Yes this Spring crafting will be dedicated to decorative home items…but all this will have to wait a little bit longer.
I committed myself to a big project that has to be delivered before the end of the month (if you are curious you can find it in my WIP section), and until that one is finished I cannot really begin a new one.
I think it is the crafter curse… you start a project that you love and while you are still doing it, your mind comes up with many other creative ideas for a thousand more projects.
So SELF-DISCIPLINE is required… no new projects until the blanket is done! I will try really hard to stick with it as the blanket really means a lot to me and to the commissioner.
In the meanwhile I finally found a good use for the Cable Bag I knitted last September while I was on holiday.
The pattern is from Vogueknitting and you can find it in here, you just need to register to their website.
If any of you wants to share their Spring/Summer projects I will be happy to read about it, I love to see what my fellow crafters come up with.

Feng Shui Can Help Sell Your House
Sometimes I look back on my years of traveling and all I can remember are the months I spent preparing to move, and then the unpacking set-up. Every time we finally got settled, either our lease ended and we had to find a new house, or our assignment ended and we were on our way to a different country! I'm so grateful for our overseas experiences, and have no intention of taking away from the joy that comes from being immersed in fascinating, international cultures, but no matter how you slice it, moving is exhausting!!!
My ex-husband and I owned and sold seven different properties while we were married, and rented nine properties in the 17 years that we lived abroad. I can rant for hours about the stress associated with moving – but having to sell before you move?? That's a different can of beans.
So here we are – it's moving season and buyers are on the prowl for their next happy home! I figured there was no time like the present to share some basic Feng Shui tips to help you get that house sold so that you, too, can move onto your next chapter.
Let's get started.
1) Don't forget the basics. Feng Shui is not used to seduce buyers into acting against their best interests. Even with Feng Shui cures, you still need to list your home at a reasonable price, find the right real estate agent and decide on the right marketing strategy for your home. The main idea behind Feng Shui is to create the energy within your space that will attract buyers, or by making a great first impression, and we do this by maximizing the best energy of the house.
2) The two most important locations to make an impression are the curb and the first moment that your potential buyers walk in the front door. Make sure there is ZERO clutter both outside and inside. The lawn should be mowed, your home should look freshly painted, and something beautiful, welcoming and uplifting should greet visitors the second they walk through the door. Whether you hang a beautiful painting in your foyer or plant fresh flowers along your walkway, decorate in a way that makes you feel good about being home. Your potential buyers will pick up on this energy and associate it with living there. (Email me if you need tips specific to your home.)
2) Use sound! Activating your entrance with sound (especially clear, bell-like tones) promotes awakening and alerting energy. When you put your home up for sale, hang a beautiful sounding chime near your front door. It will awaken and draw chi towards the entrance of your home and energetically attract people (or potential buyers) while making them feel welcome.
When hanging your chimes (or whatever you decide to use), visualize your home selling rapidly, easily and at the right price. Remember to "feel" your visualization as if it were actually happening. Picture your buyer signing the paperwork, feel the excitement and the relief running through your body. Visualizations that are palpable will attract brilliant energy so that your visualization can become reality.
3) Make your entrance visible and accessible! If your entrance is not clearly visible or is blocked by shrubbery and/or clutter, you will have a similar blockage when selling your house. The entrance is arguably the most important part of your home. Adding light to shadowed entrances will energetically activate the entrance in the same way a moth is drawn to a flame. Similarly, removing any obstacles will allow for energy to freely flow to the entrance of your door. Keeping your entry well lit and free from obstacles opens you up to attracting and receiving opportunities to sell.
4) Fountains attract income, contacts and opportunities when placed in the right place. Therefore, why not use fountains to attract enthusiastic buyers? I'd recommend finding tasteful spots to place a fountain in these key locations:
- Outside the front door
- Inside the front door
- In the helpful people (NW) and wealth areas (SE) of your home and/or property. (Email me if you need help deciphering where that is in your home.)
As always, visualize what you want the fountain to attract when implementing the cure. Visualizing (as consistently as possible) is a vital step when employing Feng Shui methods.
5) Clean like your sale depends on it!! In my previous blog, "Spring Clean the Chi," I spoke about the importance of having a clutter free home. That is particularly important here! Make sure your home is clutter free, organized and cleaner than it's ever been. No one wants to move into another person's mess and YOU don't want to be held back by the stagnant energy that clutter creates.
6) Start moving now! You may not have a place to move to, but organize your energy so that it's already moving forward. Whether that means packing some boxes, setting a target move-out date and marking it in your calendar as "move-out day," when you move forward, your energy will follow suit.
7) Put on a happy face. Trust me, I know it's stressful, but half the battle is how we look at things. Remind yourself that it's all going to work out just fine, and that beginning a new chapter is all part of the excitement.
For any questions or specific concerns, please email me:
Good luck!

Can you imagine if former Bachelor Nick Viall and his third runner-up Corinne Olympios started dating again? Well, the blonde beauty recently revealed she wouldn't rule out a reconciliation with her ex.
"If I saw him getting back to the way he was when I first stepped out of the limo, I would seriously consider giving him a chance," she told Entertainment Tonight. "I would meet up with him, have coffee, talk to him and see how he is. He just broke up with his fiancée; it can't be easy."

Things didn't exactly end well between the duo. "We clearly had strong chemistry, I was falling so hard and I remember when he changed completely," she shared. "I went up to him, cameras not rolling, and was like, 'I just want to give you a hug before the night ends,' which is something we normally did. He was like, 'K, well, I'm gonna go give out this rose now.' I was like, 'Whoa.' It was a slap in the face, like, 'I'm too busy for you right now.'"
She continued, "I don't know why he got like that... I feel like [in the beginning] I saw a different side of him than what [he] shows right now."
Corinne's comments come just a few days after she stepped out with Bachelor in Paradise hookup DeMario Jackson at the 2017 Maxim Halloween party. The duo posed for playful pics but insisted they're just friends after a sexual encounter between the pair shut down production on BiP 4 after misconduct allegations surfaced. An internal investigation later revealed that nothing illegal had taken place, and filming resumed.
Apart from her role in the controversy, various reports alleged that Corinne had a boyfriend the whole time she was in Mexico. She stepped out with Jordan Gielchinsky over Father's Day weekend for lunch amid the scandal. Another ex claimed she was engaged during her time on The Bachelor.
Keith Berman wrote on his blog at the time, "Your bachelor stint was a complete sham and now the whole town knows it! You HAD A FIANCÉ THE ENTIRE SHOW! You FAKED THE WHOLE THING. I'll spare the Internet the details because there's no need for another kid to get dragged through the mud and bothered by the press as well but trust me I know exactly who her 'Mystery man/real ex-boyfriend/fiancé' is!"
In all honesty, we could see her and Nick making it work. But we wouldn't put it past them to reunite just for a spin-off!

(PRWEB) June 28, 2005
The extraordinary story of Cecilia The Band is worth writing about. The family band has been signed, wined, dined, and dropped by the ever-diminishing music industry and survived to defy it. They've stayed alive by playing the streets and parks of their hometown New York City when nothing else was bringing in any bread. They've connected with the people by touring nationally and building a virtual Cecilia headquarters in the form of the band's labyrinth-esque, fan-friendly website, CeciliaTheBand.com.
Cecilia is now in the process of finishing "This", a multidimensional pop/rock collection of well-crafted love songs, a record entirely financed by their fans, and subsequently building a model of how to remove the industry middle men by partnering directly with the people. As for the music, it seems to simply makes people feel good, one fan referring to the Cecilia experience as "a musical equivalent of a hug", certainly a rare commodity in the present climate of the music industry and the world in general.
Join the family band on June 29 at Off-Broadway's Zipper Theater for "Cecilia In The Living Room", a one night only reality concert experience that includes both a live pop/rock concert and a candid look at the band and the family as themselves, all in the party atmosphere of the family's living room. Go to CeciliaInTheLivingRoom.com for details. It's not to be missed.

Equity Basics | Functioning of stock market | Starting to trade
Wouldn't you love to be the owner of a prosperous business without actually working for the company? Imagine having the ownership in companies, seeing those companies grow, and collecting the dividend cheques year after year, without involving yourself in the workings of the business. This situation might sound like a fancy dream, but it's closer to reality than you might think.
Materializing this flight of imagination could be possible only by holding one of the greatest tools ever invented for building wealth, undoubtedly, the stocks or equities!!!
A share of stock (also referred to as equity shares) represents a share of ownership in a company. For growth of the business, a company can raise money from the public by offering them ownership in return for their money. Once the money is raised, the company lists on the stock exchange where the shares of the company can be openly bought and/or sold by the investors. So basically if you want to invest in a company, you will have to buy the shares of that particular company from the stock exchange at the current share price, provided that company is listed on the stock exchange.
Equities are a part, if not the cornerstone, of nearly every investment portfolio. When you start on your road to financial freedom, you need to have a solid understanding of equities and how they trade on the stock market.
Now you might be thinking--
1. Returns: Stocks can help you build long-term growth into your overall financial plan. Over the longer term, shares can produce significant capital gains through increases in share prices. Some companies also issue free or bonus shares to their shareholders as another way of passing on company profits or increases in their net worth. History has repeatedly demonstrated that stocks, as an asset class, have outperformed every other type of investment over long periods of time. The graph below shows how have different asset classes fared between 1980-2006:
Over the last few years, even the average person's interest in the stock market has grown exponentially. What was once a toy of rich has now turned into a vehicle of choice for growing wealth. This voluminous demand coupled with the development of India as an emerging market in the world scenario, integration of Indian capital market with several other markets of the world and striking advancement in our trading technologies has opened up our markets to a large investor base ranging from multi-million dollar FII's to every second household in our country.
2. Ownership: Holding shares of any company entitles you to become one of the several owners who are called the shareholders of the company and also empowers you to have a claim on virtually everything the company owns. In reality, this could mean that you own every piece of machinery, furniture, premises, contracts or trademarks that belongs to the company. Now, isn't that such a great idea?
3. Limited Liability: Another very attractive part of owning shares in any company is the limited liability feature attached to it, which means that as one of the many owners, you are not personally liable in case the company becomes incapable of meeting its debts. Wow!! That means that even while you gain the benefits, you are not supposed to be sharing the losses. In the worst case, the maximum you can lose by holding shares is the value of your investment. Isn't it then really worth a try?
4. Tax Benefits: Not only the companies themselves but even the government promotes investment in the equity market. And that is how investment in equities reaps great tax benefits. The dividend income generated from shares of a company is completely tax-free in the hands of shareholders like you and me!!! For those matter even long-term capital gains the government does not tax arising on equity investment at all. That would mean that if you invest in a company and keep the shares for 12 months, you don't need to pay any tax on the income that you earn on selling those shares after 12 months. That surely is heavens in a country like ours where virtually everything is under the tax bracket. Besides, short term capital gains tax on shares is also just a mere 10% as compared to investment in other asset classes that attract short term capital gains tax of 30%*.
5. Flexibility and Liquidity: You can choose to buy or sell shares of any company whenever you want and from wherever you want. Now that really sounds like some hell lot of flexibility!!! In other investments, like real estate, you cannot liquidate your investments easily even if you wish to. They often take longer time frame to sell and your money thus gets blocked. Whereas in shares your investment becomes highly liquid. If you want to liquidate your money, all you have to do is – click a button, enter into a trade and you'll be able to fetch your money back on the very 2nd day (T+2 settlement regime).

Shares are exciting!
Apart from the very real financial benefits of investing in shares, shares also appeal because individuals like to pit their wits against the market. They derive tremendous satisfaction from picking a winner and letting their friends know all about it.
There is a burgeoning investment community out there. Today, the equity investor has a vast range of information sources and electronic tools and services from which to choose. The growing interest in investment is reflected in vastly increased media coverage, on TV, radio, newspapers and the Internet. The Internet in particular has made up-to-the-minute news and information easy to access by investors and much of it is free.
Whatever said and done, equity is a must for any well-balanced portfolio. So, irrespective of whether you are a high net worth investor or a small retail investor and irrespective of whether you have a large or timid appetite for risk, you must hold some portion of your assets in equity. This is because it is the only instrument that has the ability to truly deliver a high return, when held over a long period of time.
However, the amount of equity that you hold in your portfolio is a very subjective decision and will depend upon various factors. These include your investment objectives, time horizon and risk appetite. But as a general guideline, there's a Rule of thumb which states that to decide upon the proportion of your assets that should go into equities, reduce your age from 100 and that proportion of your money which should be put in equities. Say at the age of 60, you should invest an amount equal to 40 per cent of your total investment and at the age of 70, an amount equal to 30 per cent. The remaining can be invested in fixed income securities.
Now considering the vast benefits of owning equities and seeing the attractive returns that they fetch in hand, I am sure you might be getting the butterflies in your stomach. Several questions might be burgeoning in your mind. How to start about investing in the financial markets? Whom to go to? How to keep yourself updated? How do you meet other people who are involved in buying and selling shares? But, hold on at this moment just go and sip a cup of coffee and keep aside all your questions. We are here to solve all your problems and give answers to all your queries. Just go through our knowledge centre to find answers to some of the most basic questions. And for the rest, our team at Arihant would enlighten you at every step as you associate with us.
Whether you want to invest independently, you need advice or you want someone else to invest for you, there are different avenues to get started to investing in the stock market. You have the choice to invest on your own (direct investment) or use professionals and experts to invest money on your behalf in return for a fee (indirect investment) through portfolio management services (PMS) or mutual funds.
You can directly invest in the shares of a company through Primary Markets or Secondary Market. Shares generally have two stages in their lifespan – Initial Public Offering (Primary Market) and Listing (Secondary Market).
1. Primary Market
The first stage is when the company initially issues securities to the public to raise money for the business. This is called Initial Public Offering (IPO). Investors or dealers generally buy the shares in the primary market and resell them in the secondary market.
Arihant provides complete transaction and research support to investors for investments in IPOs.
E-IPO'S: Now-days companies enter into agreements with stock exchanges to offer shares to public through the online mechanism. The brokers registered with SEBI (like Arihant) accept orders from the investors and place them with the company. Registrar is appointed by the issuing company that has electronic connectivity with the exchange. With a broker as an intermediary, investors are completely freed from the tedious process of filling in long applications and standing in queues to submit them that had to be encountered earlier.
With Arihant online IPO service (i-Trade), you can invest in IPO just by giving in the name of the company and the quantity of shares you want to invest in, and the rest of the paperwork would be managed by us .
2. Secondary Market
The second stage is when the shares of the company are listed on the stock exchange (NSE and/or BSE) after the shares are issued to the public. Once listed, the shares are available for trading for the investors. Like any other marketplace, there are buyers and sellers of shares in the market. Existing shareholders sell their shares to the buyers at an agreeable price, but there is no interaction between them, as the orders are placed online and is settled by the stock exchange. The buying and selling of shares is done through a stock broker like Arihant.
National Stock Exchange (NSE) and The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) are the two leading stock exchanges of India where most of the transactions take place. Working of stock exchanges has been further explained in details in the later section.
1. Investing through Mutual Funds
Investing in shares directly in the stock markets is certainly exciting but it may not be for everybody.
There are many who will wish to gain exposure to equity markets but who will feel they do not have the time, inclination or expertise to devote themselves to the task of choosing individual shares and monitoring their portfolio.
For those people, investing in an equity fund is the answer. Simply put, mutual fund works on the concept of pooling in money. Investors give their money to the experts and the experts invest on their behalf. These funds are split into 'units' and an investor can purchase as many units at the current Net Asset Value (NAV) as he or she requires. If there is profit in investment, they all benefit and if there is any loss, they suffer. Experts get certain fee for investing on their behalf. Investing in a mutual fund is slightly expensive than 'direct' form of investing. However, the decision-making and procedure of investing is transferred to the mutual fund company.
But remember, mutual funds do not work on charity. They charge a fee to the investors for their service.
Mutual funds are designed to offer the individual investor diversification and professional money management, even with low investment amounts. For naïve investors, it is a common practice to invest in the mutual funds.
You can choose a fund depending on your particular investment preferences, for example risk level, industry sector, international stocks and so on. Funds also offer the opportunity to diversify investments without the need to invest in lots of different companies to spread your risk.
You can either buy funds direct from the mutual fund company, or through a stock broker, who give you access to a wide range of funds, and also guide you which fund is the best for you.
More on Mutual Funds
2. Investing through Portfolio Management Services
You want to make investment in the stock market, but you do not have the time or may not understand the stock market mechanics. That is where Portfolio Management Services (PMS) will help you.
PMS is a unique solution for those who are looking forward to tap the growth opportunities in the financial markets but do not have the time and specialized skills required for the same. PMS allows you to delegate the responsibility of managing your investments to a team of investment experts who understand your investment goals and work towards achieving them. They will take complete responsibility for managing your investments and take investment decisions in your best interests.
Minimum requirement: You need to have atleast a minimum of Rs 5 lac to invest with a PMS, however some companies have a higher minimum requirement as well.
Charges: Different companies have different way of charging for their portfolio management service. Generally, apart from the taxes, companies charge a fixed fee and performance fee.

So you might be wondering, which investment avenue is best for me to invest in the stock market?
Well, let's put it this way. While choosing any investment vehicle, you have to keep in mind your skills, time available with you to create and maintain your investments and of course and the costs involved.
If you have the skills and time available with you then 'direct' form of investing is ideal as it has the least of costs amongst all other vehicles. For investors -- who do not have the skills or the time -- mutual funds seem to be the best option. They offer the benefit of your money being managed by the expert fund managers.
PMS works better if you can make minimum investment of up to Rs. 5 lakhs. It offers you more flexibility as compared to mutual funds; here you can interact with your portfolio manager on a regular basis and it also entails lower costs compared to MFs.
There are various risks that companies are exposed to and when you invest in equity, your returns are affected by these risks. These are:
Most risks associated with investments in shares can be reduced by using the tool of diversification. You must have heard of the old adage of 'not putting all eggs in one basket'. This is what exactly diversification does. Your equity portfolio should not be concentrated to one particular investment style or a particular sector. The portfolio pyramid below is a way of looking at your equity portfolio to determine if it is well-diversified. As you can see below, the pyramid breaks down into manageable layers, making it easy to uncover any unhealthy symptoms:
To reduce the risk,

Your investment and your personal and economic circumstances will ultimately determine your attitude to risk and investment strategy. Before you invest in equities:
Assess your personal circumstances: Before you embark on equity investment, it is important that you assess your current personal and financial circumstances and your investment goals. Start with understanding your attitude to risk. If you want to make gains in the stock market, you may have to take some risks. Your age will also be a factor. Younger investors can perhaps afford to be more aggressive and take higher risks as they have a longer remaining working life to make up for setbacks.
Obviously, whether you have dependants or not will affect your investment decision. You might personally have a strong risk tolerance but this may be tempered by the knowledge that your loved ones' future may be tied up with your investment decisions.
Assess your financial position: You will need to relate your financial position to your overall financial goals. You will also need to place a time horizon on those goals. For example, you may need to ask yourself whether it might be better to pay off personal debt rather than effectively funding your stock market investments through expensive borrowings. It is advisable to invest with money you have rather than money you owe.
Asses your financial objectives and your time horizon: See the following three investor profile to understand if share investment is right for you:
Swapnil and Shikha can invest with a moderate degree of risk, as they are investing for a long-term. They should consider investing in a mutual fund or a portfolio management scheme given their busy lifestyle. Their portfolio should comprise of about 60-65% in shares and the rest allotted to bonds and guaranteed investments.
You need to ask yourself why do you want to invest, what your financial objective is behind your investment and when you hope to realise it. If you are saving for your retirement, for example, you may feel you can afford to be more aggressive because of this longer-term investment horizon. On the other hand, if there is a possibility you may have a pressing requirement for funds in the short term, it doesn't make sense to invest in risky, volatile stocks. Indeed, the greater the possibility of short term funding needs, the less appropriate it is to invest in equities, particularly because of the costs involved.
Tip: Stocks, shares and equities are used interchangeably and mean the same thing
Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.
- John D. Rockefeller
For investing in equities directly, you need to:
[Note: Now- a -days most big broking houses (like Arihant) provides the service of depositories along with trading facility]
Mutual Fund were first sold in the United States of America in 1920s
The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money.

The Federation Bathroom[Previous post: Abbotsford Grandeur Next post: Historic Kirribilli ]
Table of Contents
1. Edwardian bathrooms
Generally speaking, the "Edwardian Period" is considered to be the period from 1901 to about 1920, which comprises the rule of King Edward VII and about a decade after his death. This is the period immediately following the death of Queen Victoria (and the end of the Victorian Era), and is stylistically different in a few ways for some major cultural reasons.
- First and foremost, by 1901 the middle class had begun to rise up suburbs, meaning lots of new construction and plenty of room for a new architectural style.
- This was also the time that both electricity and indoor plumbing began to become widespread, and the presence of servants in the home began to recede.
- Together, that made for wide, open rooms in lighter (non-soot-hiding) colors in simple, easy-to-clean designs.
2. Edwardian Toilets
When indoor plumbing had only just begun to become common during the Edwardian period, it's important to remember that that means the first flushable toilets.
- Before this time, the facilities were limited to chamber pots and outhouses, and during the Edwardian period toilet designs weren't what they are today.
- For the most historically accurate Edwardian bathroom, a cistern style toilet is recommended, where the tank is elevated high above the bowl and connected by a thin metal pipe, but many of the other designs of the time are neither in production nor particularly practical.
- Because of the latter, if going to break from historical accuracy, this is probably the one place to get away with it. Most people don't realize that the use of flush toilets is hardly 100 years old, so even just a decorative wooden toilet seat can probably get one by just fine.
3. Indoor Plumbing, Indoor Bathing
Before the Edwardian period, bathrooms and regular bathing were considered to be unnecessary, even decadent. But with the advent of widespread indoor plumbing, the notion of a permanent space reserved for toiletries was integrated into home architecture for the first time.
- Previously, both tubs and toilets were portable and not necessarily private (in fact, bathing was often a once-weekly family affair), but the invention of the enameled clawfoot tub by Kohler Co in 1883 replaced temporary tin tubs with permanent fixtures. Edwardian bathrooms featured oval-shaped clawfoot tubs with an even rolled trim all the way around, like the Roll Top Cast Iron Clawfoot from Elizabethan Classics for example.
- Bathrooms were still large and made for family use during this period, but were very much in line with the overall aesthetic of cleanliness.
- In an Edwardian bathroom, there's tile across the whole floor and tile or wainscotting half or a third of the way up the wall to make the surfaces easy to clean, and the walls above topped with light pastel colors or floral patterns.
- Empty corners and open spaces were the rule, with only as much exposed plumbing as was expressly needed to fill a Clawfoot Tub and feed the Console Sink and toilet.
- Edwardian bathrooms, as with the rest of Edwardian architecture, utilized lots of natural light, so there're lots of large windows, light pastel color schemes, and often bouquets of fresh flowers to emphasize the bright, natural aspect of the bathroom.
4. Bright, Open Bathrooms; Bright Open Fixtures
The form of Edwardian bathroom fixtures followed the architecture and overall design of the time, emphasizing light colors and open spaces.
- Revolutions in toilet technology meant that ceramic porcelain was becoming widely used, and the material was repeated in clawfoot tubs and simple, open console sinks. Mirrors and artwork were simple, with simple Mirror Frames.
- Ceilings were sometimes decorative, with molding or murals, but not nearly to the extent found in Victorian bathrooms. The ceiling decorations were simpler, easier to clean, and done in lighter colors because they didn't have to hide soot or smudges from gas lanterns.
- Unlike Victorian design, Edwardian bathrooms tended to have relatively very little ornamentation. While Victorian design favored lots of small knick-knacks and decorations, Edwardians preferred an uncluttered aesthetic, again relying primarily on floral ornamentation with some smaller clusters of decorations.
- Edwardian bathrooms were often decorated with beautiful leaded glass windows and large, ornamental or oriental rugs.
- Simple porcelain fixtures all offer a simple elegance, accessorized by decorative wall tile, the rug and window panes, and even the cloth of the curtain or paint or floral wallpaper on the walls.[1]
|Victorian bathroom with luxurious decorated porcelain
Picture Gallery
"A typical Federation bathroom had a tiled floor and tiled walls, with a free-standing cast-iron bath, sitting on four claw feet.
- Pipes were usually nickel-plated and exposed to view.
- A large, perforated shower-head stood ready to deluge anyone rash enough to turn the tap.
- Sturdy nickel-plated taps were fitted to both the bath and the nearby wash-basin or 'lavatory' as it was then known.
- Hot water came from a reservoir in the kitchen range, or ...from a chip heater".[2]
- And the loo had its own room at the back of the house, or even at the back of the garden.

"In the short half-century between 1875 and 1925 – the period of time between when indoor plumbing began to be

widely available and when it became almost universal – our attitudes toward privacy and modesty changed significantly.
What were once communal and family activities have become very personal and private activities."[3]
"Before running water, washing up, bathing, and (using the loo) happened in different places.
- Washing took place at a washstand in the bedroom, with a pitcher and a bowl;
- (the loo was) in the outhouse or the chamber pot;
- bathing, when it occasionally happened, was often in a tub by the stove in the kitchen, where the hot water was."[4]

Revolutionary indoor plumbing:"Thanks to the Industrial Revolution, steps were taken to mechanise the bathroom. Hot water could be produced for use in the home, and so personal bathing became much more common.
|Original Federation style bathroom with modern shower and tap ware and no loo yet.
|Almost original inter-war style bathroom with classic hand basin and pine dresser.
Fall of the pedestal hand basin:Note how the Victorian pedestal hand basin has given way to the modern combination vanity unit, with the wash basin again part of a more utilitarian bathroom design.
- Most Federation vanity units are made of wood, such as cedar, mahogany, or oak.
- A pedestal hand basin atop a tall, slender base is often considered a vintage look.
- marble top dressers with pitcher and ewer are early Victorian style, supplanted by the pedestal basin.
- Here are examples of a Federation vanity basin set installed in wooden furniture:
|Federation style powder room
|Original federation tiled bathroom floor and handbasin cabinet and the loo finally gets installed in the bathroom.
|Original period bathroom with updated twin shower stall and twin handbasins and the loo has been installed.
|Period bathroom with plenty of decorative style and a spa bath
Modernised bathrooms:
|Largely original floor and wall tiling and marble top handbasin unit
|Carefully modernised Federation bathroom with original tiling
|A modern take on an Edwardian bathroom, with bay window casements and built-in vanity unit. The loo is banished to a separate room
|Modern take on a Federation style
|Fully updated, but the window still shows the heritage style

Snow Advisory for our area. Drive safely. Roads are slippery, caution to on the Beltline. All city snow equipment is out. Secondary streets will not be until primary roads are cleared.
Snow Plowing Updates
by Chris Kelley, Streets Superintendent
posted March 12, 2017 1:34 PM
Madison, just when we thought we were out, winter pulls us back in. The winter storm forecast to hit Madison Sunday evening should impact the Monday morning commute. All roadway users should plan on needing extra time to get to their destinations safely tomorrow. Everyone is reminded yet again to keep making good choices on the roads - be cautious, be slow, and be alert. And don't forget to allow for extra stopping distance as slick spots may develop as the roads become snow covered.
The Streets Division will dispatch 32 crews to maintain the salt routes when the storm begins tonight. Salt routes are the major thoroughfares of Madison, Metro Bus routes, and roads around schools and hospitals. The salt routes will be continuously maintained throughout this storm.
Forecasts show that this could be another long-duration storm, not too unlike the other snow events we've all endured this winter. This means everyone should also plan for challenging road conditions throughout the day on Monday including the evening commute.
Residents are reminded that the Streets Division does not plow all residential streets until the storm is at or near its end and three or more inches of snow have accumulated on the roads. During the storm, everyone should anticipate residential areas being snow covered and potentially slippery.
Streets Division staff will monitor conditions throughout this storm, and operations will adjust as conditions merit. Future plow updates will also be provided.

Court Rules City Cannot Ban Guns on Public Buses; May Go Further
By Daniel Olson, Assistant Legal Counsel, League of Wisconsin Municipalities
A state law that preempts Wisconsin municipalities from enacting gun ordinances or resolutions that are stricter than state law also prohibits enacting rules that prohibit guns on public transportation, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Tuesday. In a 5-2 decision, the Court conservative justices overturned an appeals court decision that allowed a Madison Metro Transit rule to ban firearms on Madison city buses.
The city asserted that the Metro rule was not the same as an ordinance or resolution imposing stricter local gun controls. But the majority determined there was no action the city or a sub-unit could take that would not be considered an ordinance or resolution.
Email From Constituents - last week Alders received over 272 mass emails related to one city issue. Please note that all 20 of us read every email about ALL issues to help us be better informed. If you did not receive a response from an email you sent - please re-send, please do not automatically assume that you are not being heard. I have shared a few related to current issues. When there are issues of interest to D1 residents I do want to hear from you AND take your comments into strong consideration.
Dear Alder McKinney,
I just wish to let you know I also am against allowing guns on the city buses. It just seems like a disaster waiting
to happen. I appreciate your updates to all of us in your district. Thank you
(Name Withheld)
Dear Alder McKinney,
It was such a pleasure to meet you in person recently. I am writing to voice my opposition to Madison Metro passengers being allowed to carry weapons onto Madison Metro buses. The children of Madison use the buses to travel to and from school each day and it is unthinkable that they could find themselves surrounded with loaded guns. I strongly urge you to work with Mayor Soglin to do everything in your power to protect our children from this wholly unnecessary and unacceptable danger. Thank you for your time.

Subject: Fwd: Jeffy Trail - Neighborhood Needs Your Action
Alder McKinney,
I am feeling a variety of emotions on this topic: disappointment, bewilderment, and irritation to name a few. I've heard an assortment of reasons why the city feels it's important to connect Jeffy Trail to Raymond Road. It ranges from improved emergency response time, to improving the neighborhood, to the need to finish a 20 year old infrastructure plan.
Regardless the reason, I can assure you that Jeffy Trail is not set-up for a main road. My wife and I have called this small west side community home since 2001. We have witnessed first hand the increase in traffic flow that has occurred. I see how irresponsible drivers use Mica Road as a main drag. They have no concern for the safety of the community, specifically small children. It is not uncommon to have a car travel at 50+ MPH through our neighborhood. It is currently happening on Jeffy Trail now, connecting it to Raymond Road will make it more prevalent. Unfortunately one pedestrian death has already occurred on the bike path; please help us avoid another.
I'm typically proud to be a City of Madison resident. I feel it is a community that listens to their constituents, has vision, and is flexible enough to understand current community needs, even if that requires us to change course and go a different direction than originally planed. I'm surprised that I have not seen that hold true in this specific situation.
If I were in your shoes I would voice that it is in the best interest of the City of Madison to NOT connect Jeffy Trail to Raymond Road. Doing so creates more safety risks to the community, increases the cost to provide more law enforcement patrol, and has the potential of reducing the income stream by lowering property values in the neighborhood.
I ask you, as our representative on City Council, to support us in the effort to permanently block the construction of Jeffy Trail for the foreseeable future. Re-purpose the funding to improve other higher need infrastructure projects or to fund efforts that focus on the improvement of community race relations.
Thanks for listening.

Epidural steroid injections are generally very safe, but there are some rare potential complications. One of the most common risks is for the needle to go too deep and cause a hole in the dura, the tissue that surrounds the spinal cord and nerve roots. When this occurs spinal fluid can leak out through the hole and cause a headache . This headache can be treated with bedrest, or with a blood patch. A blood patch involves drawing some blood from the vein and the injecting it over the hole in the dura. The blood forms a seal over the hole and prevents any further fluid from leaking out.
Transdermal patches (adhesive patches placed on the skin) may also be used to deliver a steady dose through the skin and into the bloodstream. Testosterone-containing creams and gels that are applied daily to the skin are also available, but absorption is inefficient (roughly 10%, varying between individuals) and these treatments tend to be more expensive. Individuals who are especially physically active and/or bathe often may not be good candidates, since the medication can be washed off and may take up to six hours to be fully absorbed. There is also the risk that an intimate partner or child may come in contact with the application site and inadvertently dose himself or herself; children and women are highly sensitive to testosterone and can suffer unintended masculinization and health effects, even from small doses. Injection is the most common method used by individuals administering AAS for non-medical purposes. [45]

Onboarding is the first part of our vision for AdaptSuite Compass. Future development will complete the needs of the mobile workforce and staffing agency with extended candidate, client, and internal staff functionality.
Roswell, GA (PRWEB) July 08, 2016
Bond International Software, the global provider of staffing and recruitment software, announces the release of Bond AdaptSuite Compass. Bond AdaptSuite Compass delivers paperless onboarding for improved efficiency with new and existing employees.
Dave Williams, CEO of Bond International Software US, comments, "Our customers needed the time and cost-saving benefits of automated onboarding and AdaptSuite delivers. Early feedback is positive and we are excited to provide this exceptional functionality."
Candidate experience and convenience was a key component of the design. AdaptSuite Compass facilitates the onboarding process enabling candidates to complete all employment forms electronically through an online portal. Web-responsive technology allows the candidate to access the portal from any computer, tablet, or mobile device. Pre-populated forms leverage AdaptSuite data to save the candidate the time of entering data already obtained by staffing agencies. In addition, eSignature technology prevents the need for branch visits and additional hardware positioning the staffing agency to truly support the remote and mobile workforce.
The exceptional candidate experience delivered with AdaptSuite Compass parallels the ease of management of the onboarding process. Staffing agencies conduct all onboarding management directly within their everyday workflows in AdaptSuite. The AdaptSuite Onboarding Compliance studio provides visibility into candidates completing the process and allows staffing agencies to assign additional employment forms and packages of forms for completion. Through warning and prevent placement hiring requirements as well as email notification, staffing agency staff can ensure onboarding compliance without extra effort.
Bond designed the administration of AdaptSuite Compass with a focus on the customer allowing the functionality to grow with the staffing agency. Staffing agencies can add new and edit existing employment forms without additional cost or vendor involvement. Bond's commitment to ISO 27001 data security along with detailed user security within AdaptSuite protects the sensitive information obtained during the onboarding process.
Betsy Wilson, Director of Product Management for Bond International Software US, adds "Onboarding is the first part of our vision for AdaptSuite Compass. Future development will complete the needs of the mobile workforce and staffing agency with extended candidate, client, and internal staff functionality."

M/Y Leight Star Yacht Joins Southern California Charter Fleet
M/Y Leight Star Yacht Joins Southern California Charter Fleet
Combining unmatched performance with sumptuous cabins and amenities, the Leight Star Yact rivals any other luxury boat on the sea. That's why we're so pleased to add her to our fleet of yacht rentals in Los Angeles, San Diego and Newport Beach, California. She makes an excellent addition to our robust fleet of luxury yachts.
You'll find all you expect and more aboard the Leight Star, a 143-foot vessel which is available for charters by the day, week or longer. Or, if you want to host a truly memorable event, celebration or party aboard the Leight Star, we're happy to accommodate that as well. She can hold up to 120 guests for an experience they'll never forget.
With so much space and amenities onboard, the LeightStarYacht was designed with socializing and entertaining in mind.
Read on to discover all this sophisticated yacht has to offer the discerning customer.
The Leight Star's Luxurious Features
When you step onboard your Leight Star charter, you'll find surroundings that are nothing short of epic. Her traditional design is nicely complemented with the contemporary details our clients expect of a yacht charter in Southern California.
The interior's stonework, countertops and showers are made from marble, granite and semi-precious crystals. Burmese teak decks and interior cabinetry made from exotic woods like ebony, cocobolo, makore, mahogany are simply stunning. Even the bathroom sinks are crafted from copper for a timeless appeal.
Guests will feel enveloped in luxury and style while aboard your Leight Star charter. The ambiance exudes the sophistication and style your expect from a yachting experience.
Four Decks to Enjoy Aboard Your LeightStar Rental
Her shaded aft deck provides an exceptional spot for dining alfresco or just enjoying the ocean breezes while you chat with friends and family.
Leight Star's helicopter landing pad can accept all range of helicopters from R44's to the Agusta Westland AW109. Contact us to discuss landing opportunities.
The sky lounge sundeck features a wrap-around leather sofa that welcomes 10 people comfortably. Your guests can also enjoy drinks from the sundeck's bar or take a meal on the sundeck. Stretch out on the 60-foot sunbathing deck and when things get hot and you want to cool off, take a dip in the extra-large, 15-person Spa Pool. Or head up to the observation deck to see the panoramic view or a picture
esque sunset with that special someone.
Use the mid deck for private dining, or transform it into a dance floor. Your guests will dance the night away on the Burmese teak floors to beats pounding from the ship's cutting edge, ship wide sound system.
Lower down, an outdoor deck lends itself to customization of water-level dining. Complete with underwater LED lighting, heat and music, you can easily create just the right atmosphere for a memorable meal.
The LeightStarYacht's Accommodations
The master stateroom on the main deck forward features a king-sized bed, his and her cedar closets and a luxurious master bath complete with heated marble floors.
