The NICHD conducts and supports a variety of clinical research related to PFDs. Select a link below to learn more about these projects.
Featured NICHD Clinical Trials
- ABC: Anticholinergics versus Botox Comparison in Women with Urge Incontinence
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the change in urge incontinence episodes between women receiving botulinum toxin A in bladder muscle plus daily oral placebo tablets, versus women receiving a similar injection of saline plus daily anticholinergic therapy.
- BOOST: Behavioral Therapy Of Obstetric Sphincter Tears
This study is designed to determine the incidence of fecal incontinence symptoms in women who sustained an anal sphincter injury when delivering their first child.
- Botulinum Toxin for Pelvic Pain in Women with Endometriosis
Botulinum toxin injection is widely used to treat conditions associated with excessive muscle activity and spasm. In this study, researchers want to see if botulinum toxin injections into the pelvic floor muscles can decrease pain and spasms in women with pelvic pain.
- OPTIMAL: Operations and Pelvic Muscle Training in the Management of Apical Support Loss
This trial assesses health-related quality of life following surgery for vaginal prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. It compares the effects of sacrospinous ligament fixation versus uterosacral ligament suspension with and without perioperative behavioral therapy and pelvic muscle training .
- E-OPTIMAL: Extended Follow-up of Patients Enrolled in OPTIMAL
The Extended Operations and Pelvic Muscle Training in the Management of Apical Support Loss (E-OPTIMAL) study extends the period of follow-up to 5 years with women who were treated for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence with one of two surgical approaches. The study will compare the success and complication rates of the two surgical treatment groups.
- E-OPTIMAL: Extended Follow-up of Patients Enrolled in OPTIMAL
- Refractory Overactive Bladder: Sacral NEuromodulation v. BoTulinum Toxin Assessment (ROSETTA)
This study compares the effectiveness of botulinum toxin A versus sacral neuromodulation for the treatment of urge urinary incontinence.

Lending in intellectual property (IP) collateral – even if it is "side collateral" – requires special tasks and skills. One must understand the nature of the IP, its relation to the associated enterprise, any limitations on its use, and the special methods that may be involved in perfecting a secured creditor lien. Valuation is different than for current assets, equipment or real estate, and the portfolio monitoring tasks are also different. And where necessary, foreclosure and disposition of IP collateral involves special considerations. Our panel of experts will provide valuable insights into understanding and evaluating a borrower's IP, as well as perfecting a lender's lien and, when necessary, exercising a lender's rights and remedies.

Your wrists will thank you.
Unfortunately, we all make mistakes while we're riding. Often the wrist is the part of the body that pays dearly for these mistakes. You probably already have a helmet, elbow guards, knee guards, shin guards, and gloves. Why leave your wrists' cheese out in the wind? Protect them in comfort with Troy Lee Designs WS 5205 Wrist Supports.
The WS 5205's internal stays disperse impact energy to reduce discomfort and injury in a crash. Adjustable hard plastic internal stays provide tons of protection, so you'll be protected even if you've had previous wrist injuries. Vented neoprene keeps the heat down by promoting airflow through the guard. The beefy triple-strap design keeps the wrist guard firmly in place to provide as much support as possible. The glove-friendly design stays out of the way of your grips while you ride so you have unobstructed access to your controls.
The Troy Lee Designs WS 5205 Wrist Support comes in Black. It's available in sizes S, M, and Large.
- Neoprene sleeve
- Hard plastic stays
- Three hook-and-loop closures
- Glove friendly

Does exactly what I need, and well
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As others have noted, this isn't a guard, but a brace. So, this won't save anything in the event of a crash (maybe it'll give a small cloth buffer), but it will support your wrist over the miles and mitigate pain that way. I needed a little extra support following a surgery a few years back, and this is just perfect. Around 1000 miles on it so far and it's held up perfectly well, can use with or without a glove (but not under a glove unless your glove is huge)
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
I guess this is for folks who have wrist problems and need a brace (which is consistent with the reviews). I thought I was buying a guard that would protect my wrist in the event my hand hit the ground first in a 'get off.' All of the protection, if you can call it that, is on the back of your hand. Otherwise, its a brace. So, back it goes.
For those of us that need the brace as you said, it's perfect. Bummer that's not what you needed.
Solved my problems
Really helped my tendinitis and has helped with a recent severely sprained hand injury. Well made, and TL customer service is top notch!!! So far all of their products that I've tried have been first rate quality.
Support is perfect for peace of mind
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Got this to keep things more immobile when healing from wrist surgery. The triple velcro has been very strong and can be dialed to a looser supportive feel or a tight grip of death. I have not fallen on this, but it's comfy enough that I'll wear it every ride until the arm's back to normal.
For the price/value/fit, this thing is perfect!
Works great
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I have a reoccurring wrist sprain that seems to never go away. I ordered this to help immobilize my wrist through small bumps while riding and this definitely helps. I have not gone down with this on, but i would imagine it would absolutely do its job. The one thing i would recommend is wearing gloves under, the part that goes in between thumb and pointer finger can rub harshly.
I ordered a med, the large may have fit better to put over any bulky glove but the med is great with a thin glove. I have a fairly skinny wrist and large hands. im roughly 170 and 6'1''.
A Must Have for all riders
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
I originally purchased this brace after breaking my left wrist in a race about a year ago. Once the cast was off I used it for the majority of the summer to protect my wrist and provide a little protection as my strength returned. I couldn't have been more stoked on the fit and ergonomics of this thing! It worked well with pretty much every glove I wore, and didn't feel uncomfortable holding the handlebars. They do take time to get used to as you lose some range of motion, but well worth it! Loved it so much I purchased a Right brace as well in the event i ever need it or a buddy does.
They thing is a life saver
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I broke my wrist at Whistler. It healed incorrectly and was hurting 6-9 months. I started riding 3 months after my break and wore this. I couldn't feel a thing. It was great! Oh and I ride pretty aggressive down hill, for reference.
they do the job
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
my kid had a real bad wrist break and needed something to help him get back on his bike quickly. these provide the right amount of support without being to bulky.
support, not protect
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
this is basically a snug wrist supporter. it will not offer protection on a significant level. it is a wrap with two thin plastic pieces on the back side of the hand. if you are trying to keep your wrist wrapped to support it in the case of carpal tunnel or recovery from an issue, it is great for the job. if you are trying to protect your wrist from fractures or other significant injuries, get another product.
Solid Product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Just picked these up before riding Whistler Mountain Bike Park. they are comfortable and dependable. I would highly recommend them!
Peace of Mind
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After a severe wrist break - these wrist guards (got them for both wrists) serve as great support and protection for DH and Enduro racing. Won't ride without them. Ever. Worth every penny.
Saved my season
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've been battling ligament and tendon issues in my left wrist since spraining it badly mountain biking. The pain was severe, and road biking hand position was especially painful. I took a week off (which I had done before but to no avail) and bought this left wrist brace, then tested it out on a short road ride, a long mountain bike ride, and a long road ride. The bracing keeps my wrist from flexing into painful positions, and I'm literally pain free so far. As pictured in another review, this fits great over any glove, or you can wear it alone. Highly recommended to prevent wrist injury or in my case to stabilize while healing from one. The bracing does change your natural hand position just a bit, as you might expect, but I got used to it quickly and it's a sacrifice worth making in my case. I might buy one for the right wrist just as a preventive measure.
Works with or without a glove
The best, hands down
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you'd messed up your wrist in a wreck or just need additional support, look no further than the WS 5205 from Troy Lee Designs and Shock Doctor. This support is beyond comfortable with or without a glove underneath, and unbelievably supportive. There is no comparison to other wrist guards/supports in the same price range.

You've seen the post. It's been linked everywhere. She's his mother, she says, though she's not. His mother is dead, as is he, and neither can answer any questions. Her son hasn't killed anyone. He's just scared them.
I was scared that way too, once upon a time.
Children are violent, you know. They lash out when they can't cope. They hurt each other and us until they are taught not to, until they are taught how to express what they want and need and fear, until they learn how to get away from what hurts them. Sometimes that happens easily and young. Sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes the violence lasts until muscles have grown. Sometimes lessons about how to make violence more effective are learned well before control. A violent child with the capacity for harm we normally associate with adults can be a very scary thing indeed. I know I was terrified.
He had a lot he needed to cope with. He would probably be prescribed Ritalin if he were a child today, and it would probably help. A form of ADHD seems to run in the family. Then there was the abuse. Also the neglect, some of it necessary, much of it benign for another child. There was the socialization more suited to an introvert than the child who wanted, perhaps needed, to be surrounded by positive attention. There was the teasing and the scapegoating. There were all the things that were simply never going to be fair.
There was a lot of anger and a lot of frustration. There was no good outlet for dealing with it. There were no skills.
There were, instead, doors with deadbolts. Doors with knife wounds. Furniture with scars. Broken…well, a large number of broken things, even for a house of poverty.
There was screaming and threats, fights and struggles.
There was destruction and there was fear.
What there was not was injury. For all the years that looked like they were out of control, no one came out bleeding. The pets were fine. The people were fine, if shaken and nervous and tired. Opportunities to hurt were never taken, threats never fulfilled.
That was decades ago now. No one has been gunned down in the meantime.
Some of the missing skills have been learned. Some small measure of help has been obtained, a replacement for part of the self-medication that got him through the ugly years when the world expected him to be the adult no one had taught him how to be.
He has carried the biggest burden of being that violent child. When he couldn't cope and he wouldn't injure others, he hurt himself instead. He came remarkably close to obliterating himself more than once. He was the sort of person who disappears for years at a time, who makes you dread a ringing phone lest it be some kind of news, who makes you wait and wonder until they identify each body they pull out of the river.
That's how these things usually go when they go very badly, you know. They don't result in "statement" suicides, just the stupid, impulsive, not-always-intentional kind. That's where your violent children end up if they don't get help, if they don't learn how to remake the world in ways that suit them, as the rest of us do.
Mostly though, the violent children do what this violent child did. They limp along from disaster to failure to minor catastrophe to brushes with the law, slowly growing up, until they find some niche that works well enough for them. They find a bit of the world that doesn't demand all those skills they never managed to learn, and they learn enough of the local customs to get by.
Is it all roses and happily ever after? Oh, no, but neither is it murder. Nor is it the manipulative, controlling violence we mean when we speak of evil. It is just learning to live with the frustration of living in a world everyone but them gets to control. It is living with the anger, because it isn't any more of a skill than the rest of what they've got.
He isn't one of the shooters. He isn't even one of the suicides. Chances are very good that her son, as much as he scares her, isn't one of the shooters either. Chances are less good that he won't be one of the suicides. Still, he's more likely to be one of the people we simply label "failures", despite their success in learning to live without the advantages we have, than either of those.
Telling us that he is one of the killers is doing him a disservice, even if he weren't going to see his mother talking about it on national news. A violent child is still a child in many very important ways. He (or she) is still living without the mental and emotional resources of an adult. Claiming that there is one way this child will turn out isn't just false; it's dangerous to the child.
Even a violent, scary child deserves better than that. If you don't believe me, ask one of them.

Proxylean Review
Proxylean's disclosed ingredients include inula racemosa, Deanol Bitartrate, Xanthinol Nicotinate, Codonopsis Pilosula, Evodia, Green Tea, Caffeine, White Willow, Cnidium Monnieri, Black Pepper, Inositol, and Yohimbe Bark.
Most of these ingredients are not related to weight loss or remain unproven in terms of weight loss. Black pepper if in bioperine form is a nutrient enhancer, but obviously they don't use that type. Otherwise, green tea is the only clinically proven fat burning ingredient, and they use small proprietary blends that hide the extremely small amounts of each ingredient, and in the case of green tea it is obviously extremely inadequate.
Proxylean is not safe to take if:
- You have a pre-existing medical condition such as heart disease
- You have a family history of medical conditions such as heart disease
- You have caffeine sensitivities
- You have high blood pressure
- You have a history of psychological disorders
- You are using an MAO Inhibitor
- You suffer from glaucoma
Possible Side Effects
- Insomnia
- Diarrhea
- Irregular heart beat
- Dizziness
- Vomiting
- Headache
- Loss of appetite
- Kidney damage
- Liver failure
- Reduced blood circulation to heart
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Raised blood pressure
- Increased heart rate
Overall Impression of Proxylean:
Proxylean is not the product you want. It has a couple proven ingredients, but not in the right amounts. And it has quite a few ingredients that don't work even in high amounts, one of which would actually promote side effects such as heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, and liver failure. All of this means you are taking the risks without the benefits.

Rachel & Callum: pre-wedding session
It was really lovely to spend some time earlier this year with Rachel and Callum. It's a little while until their wedding, but we decided to venture out into the chilly January weather and do their engagement photo session at a gorgeous spot that they know on Dartmoor. I'm always delighted when couples suggest somewhere special that we can visit for these sorts of photo sessions - I think that the familiar location can help people relax, which then helps me get to know you better. And it's also so much nicer to have your photos to be taken somewhere that has special meaning, as the images will be worth so much more to you. Rachel and Callum have spent many happy times at Spitchwick, Dartmoor, so it was great to be able to visit there with them. The muted greens and browns were beautiful for their photos, and we had good fun playing around with some different poses and exploring the undergrowth! I'm really looking forward to their July wedding, particularly as I'm hoping the weather will have warmed up a touch by then :)
Robyn & Peter's wedding at Muddifords Court Country House, Cullompton
It started off as a wonderful snowy morning, with a light covering of flakes on all the trees. The snow turned into very cold rain, but it didn't dampen the spirits of anyone at this wonderful February wedding. Robyn and Peter are the first couple to get married at this brand new wedding venue, and what an amazing choice they made! Muddifords Court Country House is a real gem, with the most fantastic buildings and grounds and the loveliest owners, Nicky and Pip. Even though the weather was too miserable for us to get outside and explore the grounds, the indoor spaces more than made up for it. The Cider Barn, where the ceremony took place, is the most incredible and intimate setting, with all the candles set out around the original cider press. And the Shippen is the perfect space for celebrating afterwards, with its amazing beams and stunning details. Robyn's flowers by La Luna Floral Design were just incredible. Nicky and Pip at Muddifords have put a huge amount of effort into creating this venue, and I very much look forward to photographing other weddings there in the future! But first here is a look at some of the highlights from this one:

Playing at school
I took some photos of the children playing at St Leonard's Primary School, Exeter this morning, which was really good fun! There are lots of great images that the school is planning to use as they develop their new website.
In the midst of all the general overexcitement, children running around and waving at the camera, I caught this lovely, quiet image of Hattie, lost in thought for just a moment before running off again! With her parents' permission, I thought it was a lovely one to share on here:

These days CIOs and IT leaders have a lot on their plate: business agility and efficiency, new technologies and enabling the always-on enterprise. Doing the same things and adopting the same technologies that everybody else already has doesn't deliver the desired competitive advantage. If CIOs want to add business value and help their organisations get ahead, they're going to need to take a few calculated risks and challenge the status quo – this means they need to innovate.
Every local business is facing the same challenges – exponential data growth, a constant stream of new technologies and flat budgets – but not everybody is tackling these issues in the same way. These challenges can hold your business back, but for those that adopt innovative solutions or fresh approaches they also represent a huge opportunity to get ahead of the competition by serving internal and external customers more effectively and efficiently.
The contemporary internal and external customer base is hugely demanding. Organisations need to cater to external customers that want to do online banking at 2am or shop at 9pm. They need to please tech savvy Gen Y internal customers as they move into the market. If businesses don't have the technology that allows them to satisfy these demands, they will lose market share, business and brand reputation.
The exciting organisations and leaders to watch are those that have the foresight to see where the technology is going and take a calculated risk to be early adopters of innovation.
The CIO as a driver of change
The CIO will play a critical role in exploiting opportunities working hand in hand with IT. IT must deliver value by enabling growth and directly impacting business outcomes. Furthermore, the pace of change is much faster with time-to-value as a key metric. The old plan/build/run model of IT development and delivery is not capable of meeting the demands for innovation, flexibility, and faster delivery cycles that are the hallmark of contemporary businesses.
To meet the challenges of digital disruption, a new operating model is needed that can leverage innovative technologies for the core infrastructure and modern data centre which includes cloud and virtualisation, while sourcing alternatives to satisfy the expectations of internal and external customers. This needs to be done within a landscape where staying on 100 per cent of the time and providing access to core systems and data is becoming more of a reality. To achieve this level of availability requires investing in technologies such as mobility and cloud; something that needs to be driven by the CIO.
The growth in investment in cloud technology
According to the CSC Global CIO Survey 2014-2015, cloud initiatives figure prominently in most organisations' overall budgets in some form or another. 80 per cent of respondents across all industries reported moderate to heavy investing in private cloud and 76 per cent of respondents across all industries reported moderate to heavy investing in hybrid cloud.
Almost 75 per cent of IT/telecommunications organisations say cloud technology is a high or critical priority over the next 12 months. Innovation in these technology areas is a key part of creating competitive advantage and staying ahead of the pack.
A leadership position
CIOs need to take the leadership position in business transformation, maintaining influence over technology acquisition, deployment, and spending. Running IT as a business is an essential element in this equation. If IT is not perceived as being a transparent, credible, and reliable provider of services at competitive prices, then it is doubtful it will succeed in making the transformation.
A number of New Zealand businesses prefer to work with a partner that has a local presence with a local data centre and a local cloud. Businesses can get the advantages of innovation, economies of scale, agility and faster resolution by leveraging a private or public cloud operated by a local provider. Cloud technology has matured to the point where cloud-based alternatives, either public, private, or hybrid, are viable for most situations, however there remain some concerns around the use of public cloud for various industries or specific types of data.
Organisations can still get the benefits of modern technology by having a sound cloud strategy that includes a mix of private and hybrid cloud with public cloud being leveraged for specific applications. CIOs need to embrace a cloud strategy but they should have a cloud governance framework specific to their business in order to realise the potential benefits of speed, efficiency and in some cases the cost benefits that may be inherent in cloud technologies.

True innovation
CIOs are the strategic enablers that lead their organisations through transformation. The business is looking for IT not just to support innovation, but also to be a source of innovation. True innovation comes from brave IT leaders that aren't afraid to challenge the status quo. Those that rise to the challenge of change will be the organisations that are at the forefront of their respective industries responding to their customers' demands in a competitive marketplace.
The exciting organisations and leaders to watch are those that have the foresight to see where the technology is going and take a calculated risk to be early adopters of innovation. These CIOs challenge the status quo by adopting a strategy that gives them significant capability in automation while catering to a specific cost envelope. They meet the demands of a flat budget and combat this with new capabilities that put them on a great footing for the future. They're more agile, nimble and able to respond to market drivers and the demand for always-on availability.

Sometimes it is very hard to distinguish between fact and fiction.
According to one group of contacts, the outlook for further education is particularly bleak. In this version of events, area reviews sweep the land like the eye of Sauron. The fellowships of FE are to be usurped by a swathe of expedient mergers, which will feel (for one side at least) like a siege, rather than a marriage of venerable houses.
Among other manager and teacher friends, these dour predictions are little more than high fantasy. The area review process is an unfortunate distraction. Mergers have long been a feature of the landscape and reviews will not, for practical and economic reasons, lead to a significant increase in their number. Institutional autonomy will hold fast. As Samwise Gamgee says: "But in the end it's only a passing thing, this shadow."
I suspect the truth lies somewhere in between. It does look likely that the rate of merger will accelerate, although we cannot be certain when or where this will happen for the right reasons (i.e. to better meet student, community and employer need and improve opportunities for staff).
However it is clear – from the literature and recent history – that where mergers in both further and higher education have been unsuccessful, there are a number of common factors.
Firstly, unrealistic expectations bear down on the enterprise like an army of orcs. Mergers are likely to disappoint those looking for savings in the short and medium term, and those who underestimate the challenge of integrating two recently distinct organisations. Failure to manage those expectations can lead to untimely intervention from funders, governing bodies and regulators.
Secondly, as one college Principal recently wrote, 'the risk of the weaker institution acting as a drag on the stronger in terms of teaching and learning performance is substantial'. We have seen very strong colleges for instance, led by capable teams, badly injured in the effort of dragging another off the field of combat.
Thirdly, they fall victim to 'poorly managed post-deal integration' – lack of appropriate planning and poor strategy and management[1]. Under this heading I would include poor communication and the inability to express a clear vision.
Where mergers proceed, institutions must set out a strong educational case[2] – otherwise they are unlikely to persuade their key publics (staff and students primarily) that it is the right thing to do.
But merging institutions often struggle to make this case. Sometimes there just isn't one to be made. Sometimes the consultation stage is too shallow to provide any robust evidence either for or against the merger and the opportunity is lost. Or in Tolkien's words: "There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after."
And sometimes the institutions involved simply do not possess the capacity to communicate effectively in such challenging circumstances.
It's tough. We are bringing together a group of communication experts, all of whom have first-hand experience of mergers, to help institutions overcome the communication and relationship management challenges that they will face.
These include creating and relaying consistent messages at a time when boards or leadership teams want to bring different agendas to the table. At the very point when employees are anxious and management teams are changing, those leading the process need to deliver stability and reassurance while retaining trust through timely, open and honest communication.
Unfamiliar structures – including regional boards and interim leadership groups – add another layer of complexity. The pressures of leadership, momentum, mission, unity, quality and due diligence threaten to relegate communication to an afterthought.
Among the noise of misinformation and speculation, itself often a symptom of the nervousness of key groups, colleges and universities can miss the opportunity to provide an alternative to negative narratives (the institution as victim) or to retain valued heritage rather than abandon it in the rush to create a new organisation.
The most significant challenges typically materialise after a merger; managing the cultural differences between previously competing institutions and minimising the disruption to employees of physical relocation and procedural changes, requires careful, considered and professional two-way internal communication.
Nevertheless some mergers succeed where, for instance, consultation is effective, ethical, and informative, institutions focus on engagement and retention, understand the risks in under-communicating with employees and place a premium on the individual without distracting from the day-job. "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future," says Galadriel. The outlook is not necessarily desolate.

The Major industries invest a lot to achieve "zero harm", Does it possible?
If you are overwhelmed that you have achieved "Zero harm" in your Industry, you must be read these shocking principles that you should realize before causing a harm.
Here I have listed you, 11 Shocking and factual reasons that make zero harm final declarations difficult.
1.Accidents are Unplanned:
The Accidents are unplanned, the prime obstacle, which makes the zero harm difficult. Till the safety practitioners realize this simple principle, there won't be real zero harm. There are always a ways to reduce the residual risks. and there are always the chances for accidents.
The Risk will never be zero.
The Zero harm could never be finalized.
2.Everyone is Unique:
Every one in this world is unique, and every human is having a different character, attitude, beliefs, and perceptions.
Every body in the organization, will not understand the safety principles in the same way.
The Zero harm is only possible when the safety principles are developed with varying characters in mind.
And developing a safety principle, that suits to every person in the industry, is really a major challenge.
3.The Peoples Move, Move & Move always
The employees will move often and there always be a staff turn over rate in the industries.
There always an involvement of trainees, visitors, customers in the industries.
The Industries are facing huge difficulties to control the staff turn over rates, and when the employees move and competency gaps exists the chance of harm is also increasing.
Which makes the things harder.
4.There is No 100 % Competence
The things will change and there always an improvement. A method which is safe today will be ineffective when the condition changes.
- The Equipment's will worn by use
- The methods will lose their effectiveness.
Remember: Irrespective of the nature of the job, always there will be competency gaps that need to be identified and filled.
5.The Risk is Never Zero :
Even after the implementation of all the controls, always the residual risk will present, and the probability of accidents will never be zero.
When there is a risk, there will be a risk of harm.
6.Eliminating all the hazards are not possible
We can replace one hazard with another type, for example, manual handling replaced with mechanical lifting and handling.
But Industry will always have a hazard and hazardous interactions which can cause harm.
7.Really, We are Working on most hazardous Industry:
All the Actions in HSE is planned as per the current scientific evidence, technologies, studies and the current legal requirements which are subject to change.
The Asbestos which used, years ago, is now determined as most hazardous, As days move and the technology improves, the results of research will prove that,
The Methods, substances and equipment's we adopted are most hazardous.
8.The People's cannot be programmed
Can you assure? that you will do the job in the same way till your Death / entire work cycle.
The human behavior will change and will not be same in all the situations.
The Behavior of the human/work force is the outcome of various inputs like work rate, work relationship, personal situation and etc.
The Human errors could never be eliminated, and the peoples cannot be programmed.
9.No Controls are 100 % Effective:
- We cannot eliminate the entire hazards in industry
- The Engineering controls will fail by time and poor design, manufacturing & maintenance
- The Training may not influence all the attendees
- The PPE will not prevent the accidents
- There is no guarantee for Safety Signs
All the controls, we employed are having their merits and limitations which must be identified and used with an account of that.
10.The Harms are Hidden :
You may declare that you achieved a Zero harm, but you could never guarantee that all the incidents are reported.
The Statistics says the workforce is more tend to hide the minor injuries.
Till the 100 % reporting achieved, the zero harm is not possible.
11.Zero harm is never Finalized :
Zero harm is never finalized, till the operations take place and industries run, there always chances for harm.
You Could never give a final declaration for "Zero harm"
Simply, Zero harm is an aim, which has no endings & time scale.

Singaporean Peculiarities – Singapore, Singapore
Singaporean Peculiarities
Singapore, Singapore
When stepping out of Singapore airport, prepare yourself to be hit by a heavy gust of humidity. Unfortunately, I've forgotten this little bit of advice myself, and I swelter in my denim jacket from London. Despite growing up on this little island, three years of life in gloomy, frosty London has broken all my defence mechanisms against intense 78% humidity and burning sunshine. I spend the first 2 days in my parent's home, sleeping, showering off the sweat and sleeping some more, unnatural amounts in fact, the result of a combination of jet-lag and lethargy brought on by the weather.
On my third day, I'm as perky as a button and I head straight to the nearest Hawker Centre and order my all-time favourite, Nasi Ayam (Roasted Chicken Rice with sambal, a Malay chilli sauce) and down it with freshly squeezed sugar cane juice. How I've missed the food here. The cheapness, the variety, the rich taste, the open-all-hours policy. London seems to shut down at 7 p.m. Over here you can head to a hawker centre at 5 a.m. and order fresh sambal sting-ray and chicken satay. Throw away any preconceptions you have of satay, as London has no clue how to prepare it. In London, they stick a few pieces of chicken breast on a stick and call it satay. That's not satay, that's chicken breast on a stick. Genuine satay is pounded meat slapped onto a stick and barbequed on an open grill, constantly being fanned and turned. It's an extravagance you can't miss if you visit Lau Pa Sat in Singapore, where dozens of satay stalls are perched outdoors waiting for your orders. Even the fast-food here is better! Burger King Singapore have this glorious invention called the Mushroom Swiss, and KFC do their coleslaw and mashed potato to perfection. However, the local customer service leaves much to be desired, but one needs to realize that they're not always being rude, it's just a peculiarity of the Singlish dialect, where sentences are shortened, making the speaker sound abrupt at times. Don't be surprised if you hear, "Cannot lah!" instead of 'Sorry miss, but I can't give you a discount' (yes, I've been shopping).
I rejoice in the little things, the little differences that make life so different here. Not having to wear 300 layers of clothing before leaving the house is one. Being able to step out in my Jesus sandals, and just simply EXISTING with only a thin cotton T-shirt and shorts. It's liberating! I realize that back in London, my fear of the cold makes me tense up every time I step outdoors, and I find myself reacting the same way here whenever I open a door, only to be pleasantly surprised by the warmth. Don't be fooled that there isn't any sub-zero weather in Singapore however. Wait till you get into a local bus, the air-conditioning is always strong enough to turn your toes purple.
Living in London, I've especially missed taking cold showers. You haven't taken a real shower until you've come in from a tiring, hot day outdoors, and you head straight into an ice-cold shower. It's therapeutic. Never mind that the first 30 seconds your body is screaming and you're practically having a seizure. But it's truly something to look forward to, and I regret 3 years of unsatisfying shower experiences. Showering in London is just not as blissful. No wonder people smell on buses.
Unofrtunately, my newly found discovery of Singapore doesn't all remain a fairy tale. One day, Mum sprays the whole house with Baygon insect killer because this island, in case you didn't know, is infested with creepy crawlies (beetles, cockroaches (star of my little tale), centipedes…you name it, we've got it). So, reacting to the spray, these bloody-useless-creations-of-God-designed-merely-to-ruin-my-life decide to come out of their hiding places and escape from the fumes. A word of warning here; sometimes, when you don't spray enough, they simply get a bit drunk on the fumes and refuse to die.
Anyway, so we've just about settled into sleep on our mattresses on the floor when suddenly, I feel something crawling on my leg. I fling my leg upwards and this huge black thing falls on the mattress next to my head. You wouldn't realise how fast your mind works when you're scared – because in a micro-milli-split-second my mind goes through a couple of stages, from contemplating whether to just hyperventilate and die on the spot with a heart attack, to screaming bloody murder and alerting the entire household (well, it is just Mum and me), to jumping up and telling Mum amidst hyperventilating gasps, that there's a cockroach on my bed and to get the bleedin' spray (minus the expletives, Mum would spray me instead).
Anyway, I choose the third option because the second one could have given Mum 'palpitations' which would go along the lines of "Farzina, how could you wake me up like that, you've given me, (wait for it)…palpitations! Not forgetting a headache…" and so on and so forth. But bless the woman, she jumps right up as well and runs for the broom and the spray while I just stand around jumping on the spot and shaking off imaginary roaches off my body. We eventually succeed in killing the little pest (who, by the way, simply refuses to die) and when sweeping it out the door, we find another one lying at the doorstep dead. At this point all hell breaks loose in my head and I lie back on our mattress constantly thinking they're under my pillow.
Two seconds into being back in bed and I hear fluttering around our heads and once again, I've dragged Mum out of bed and turned the lights on. There she is thinking I've gone psycho with fear, because I insist that I hear fluttering. She tells me in a deadpan "right she's lost it…" voice that "No, you're hearing things because I for one, can't see anything". I start muttering that perhaps we should go to a hotel for the night while she lies back down in bed, at which point I see it! I knew it; I have a sixth sense when it comes to these things (not always a good thing). This drunk little criminal is crawling near the head of our mattresses, and Mum swiftly gives it one short spray and – POOF! – it's gone.
So now that my Ma has to give me some credit for being right, she agrees to at least move the mattresses to the living room because it seems the pests are coming from the opposite direction, and we do that and eventually, fall asleep, although with much difficulty, because I keep thinking they're trying to get into my pants.
After the above-mentioned incident, a part of me starts to miss London, where everything is so artificial, and not quite so close to nature. A city where I can sleep with ease at night, and all I breathe in are the traffic fumes, and I am confident of being the only living creature in the bedroom. Jokes aside, I realize that life in every city is a matter of give and take. I left some pleasures behind when I moved to London, but I certainly won't miss my eight legged friends.

Then, one morning, a young girl pays them a dime to find out who murdered her parents the night before and took her grandmother's ring. Using inept methods, the team lucks onto the trail of the bad guys. Can they bumble to success and a renewed reputation? And what about coming of age?

You really need to make them public. Oh Well, no problem. I just might put some comment on top of each howto, telling you should check out my website, because now my Docs are web published en searchable in Google itself. Thanks Bro. for telling me.

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them: "Peace be to you."
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."
And when he had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them: "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him: "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them: "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe."
Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said: "Peace be to you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing."
Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him: "Thomas, you have believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
1. What does the word peace mean? What does it mean to be at peace?
2. What kinds of peace do we pray for during the liturgy?
3. Who came and stood in the midst of the disciples in this gospel? How does he greet them?
4. Who stands in our midst during the liturgy and greets us that way?
5. Who does he represent or make present to us?
6. When does he greet us that way? What do we do after he says that?
7. Who or what brings us peace according to this gospel and what we say in the liturgy?

1. Has the magic gone out of our relationship? Are you having a hard time feeling close? Agreeing on even the simplest things? Even remembering why you got together with this person?
2. Are you constantly being 'triggered' by the person closest to you?
3. Are you finding it hard to communicate with your partner without it turning into a battle?
4. Are you frequently having to stuff your real thoughts/feelings for fear of starting another argument?
5. Are you longing for a close personal relationship but the right person just never seems to come along--or to stay?
One of the most satisfying and potentially also one of the most painful aspects of our lives can be our closest relationships. We often choose people who inspire our greatest hopes but also trigger our most immature, fearful, angry or shameful reactions. Then we repeat the same arguments and patterns over and over again, hoping for a different result! Sometimes it's hard to work on a relationship if the two people don't have the tools to deal with their own issues. We can do individual or couples work or a combination. Relationships at work or with parents, friends, or family members can bring up the same dynamics. It is important to see these relationships for what they really are and to turn them into a powerful pathway to growth and healing.

Over a year after the race I am finally ready to write about the downfall of my whole race, the bike. The bike is my favorite leg of triathlon and I was so upset with how it went. With that bit of info lets dive into it.
After leaving the changing tent I ran to the bike corral and a volunteer handed me my bike. I ran to the mount line. Mounting my bike was interesting to say the least. I am used to small races, 500 people max, and being in the first group on the bike course. Trying to mount with 20 plus people was a wee bit freaky, but I was a successful. I went by my cheering squad again and was beyond excited that they moved to the start of the bike course. After exiting the res I dropped into aero and began the race.
My biggest fear on the bike leg of a triathlon is getting dinged for drafting. Most races I have done are too small for this to be an issue, but racing an Ironman with 2800 other people leads to a lot of congestion. I did my best to make sure I was not drafting. Thankfully the course thinned out and I was able to find my space to bike in.
The first 30 or so miles is an area that I know well, so I expected to do well. I felt good until the climb back up St Vrain Rd. It was at this point, mile 15ish, that I start a bonk. Having a chest cold meant that my body needed a lot more calories than normal. Usually on the bike I only need about 200 calories an hour. In typical stubborn Chelsey mode I only grabbed water at the aid stations. So my speed dropped and I felt really sluggish. I was upset that I couldn't enjoy the beautiful course. Normally the downhills are my favorite and I pedal as hard as possible. Coasting down was all I could manage. Around mile 40 I took a Roctane electrolyte pill, hoping that would help. It helped a little, but not enough. I kept pedalling and counting down the miles to special needs.
I was really excited to get to special needs because it was right in front of my step-sisters neighborhood. I filled my jersey pockets with M&M's and jerky; put sunscreen on my face; got sunscreen in my eyes (that was lovely); and hoped back on my bike. Then I was off on the second half of the bike course. I saw my step-sister and her family cheering for me. That gave me the pick up I needed for the next big hill.
I tried to eat my jerky, but it made me want to puke. Awesome. Back to pure liquid fuel I go. I got to see my step-sister and family again. Which really helped after my jerky experience. At the next aid station I grabbed a banana thinking that would be better than jerky. The banana was quickly denied by my body. I took 2 more Roctane pills and really hoped that would help. About this time I saw J and two of my friends. I stopped and got off my bike to tell J how bad I was feeling. He gave me a pep speech and sent me on my way.
It took about 20 minutes, but the Roctane pills finally started working. Around mile 70 I started feeling better and finally was able to take in fuel. My speed started going back up and my mood got so much better. As I turned West and started my trek back to Boulder. Going West and seeing the mountains always makes me so happy. This was also the point at which I saw my mom and step-dad for the first time. My mom was clicking away on her camera, so I had to smile.
Around mile 80 J and my friends showed back up. They had gone to the store to get my apple sauce and green juice to help me get fuel in. I refused the amazing offer because I was afraid a referee would DQ me for taking outside help.
Around mile 100 there is the hill of doom. I was in my lowest gear and just barely moving. Once I got to the top I was so excited. I knew it was downhill all the way to Boulder High. I flew through the last 12 miles and made sure to take in enough fuel and water to give me a good start for the run.
When I got to the dismount like at Boulder High, I hopped off my bike and took off running to T2.

The Raffle & Silent Auction are a fun way that we raise funds for Scholarships. At the conference, raffle items will be displayed, each with a bag for tickets. You can buy tickets and place them in as many bags as you like. At the end of the conference we'll draw names from each bag and you may take any items you've won with you.
We'd love to get a wide variety of items donated. Popular items include toys, games, books, knitted or crafted items, baskets, goodies, music – really, anything unschoolers will enjoy.
Our Silent Auction Basket theme is LIFE is Good! – Things that make life good! If your family would like to donate a basket, just put together some things that you think make life good. You can use any kind of container – it doesn't have to be a "basket". Use your imagination and have a great time with this!
To donate an item or basket, contact us or just bring it along to the conference with you. We'll take it from there.
What is the Instant Gratification table?
This is a chance for the younger members of our community to participate in the raffle without any waiting or disappointment. They get to exchange one ticket for any item on the table.

Institute for Economic Development
Universities' partnership will develop SBDCs in Honduras
The UTSA Institute for Economic Development has signed a new international agreement to expand the institute's presence in Central America.
The agreement allows UTSA and Universidad Jose Cecilio del Valle in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, to begin developing certificate training programs and a Small Business Development Center project modeled on similar SBDC programs in the United States.
UTSA Vice President for Community Services Jude Valdez signed the agreement with Rector Carlos Avila Molina of the Universidad Jose Cecilio del Valle.
"It is known as the entrepreneurial university in Honduras," said Robert McKinley, director of the UTSA Institute for Economic Development. "One of their priorities is preparing their graduates to become active in helping create small businesses."
Molina, a former Honduran Minister of Education, wants to eliminate his country's "brain drain" of highly educated Hondurans leaving the country for opportunities elsewhere. He wants to use the Institute of Economic Development as a model for a similar organization that could be developed across Honduras.

The decision to have any kind of plastic surgery, procedure or facial treatment is not one that should be made lightly, especially prior to your wedding day! While every bride has a different vision of what she will look like on her special day, many choose to take advantage of a wide variety of facial procedures and treatments that will help her achieve the flawless look she dreams of. However, brides should consider many factors before deciding which doctor to see and what option is best for her. Because this is such a big decision, we want our Pink Brides to be educated on what options are available to them and what they should consider before making any final decisions. So, I spoke with Nashville, Tennessee-based plastic surgeon Dr. David Gilpin and his wife Meredith to find out what brides need to do and know before committing to any facial rejuvenation leading up to their wonderful Tennessee weddings.
1. Do Your Research
Obviously, with such an important decision, it is imperative that brides do their research prior to scheduling any procedure or treatment with a particular doctor. Reviewing different doctor's training and credentials will help you make the most informed decision, and ultimately, give you the best results. Dr. Gilpin encourages brides to do their research and suggests visiting The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery website in order to find an accredited doctor in your area.
"You need to really know who is doing any type of procedure on your face. Don't just go to anyone. Make sure they are board certified in facial cosmetic surgery. I always like to tell brides that this is what I would tell my mother. Some people will just go to anyone, but you just need to do your research. A phone call or two is all it can take."
Meredith also reminds brides to research offices to find out what treatments are administered by the actual doctor and what is done by the nurse. Also, another important aspect to research about different doctors you might be considering, according to Meredith, is noting their fellowship training.
"You want to make sure that the doctor is fellowship trained in that specific area. If you really want to look your best, you really need to do your research on who is going to be doing your surgery or injections. It is always best if you can find someone who has done a fellowship."
2. Know Your Options
If you don't do your research, brides can fall into the trap of not realizing all of the different procedure and treatment options available to them. Some brides might not be ready for cosmetic surgery, but still want to enhance their features for their special day. That is why Meredith says it is so important for brides to educate themselves on all the treatments available and consult with their doctor to find the right one for her.
"Botox lasts about 3-4 months, and it helps correct the wrinkles in your forehead, around your eyes and the Glabella area, which is in between your eyebrows. It can really help you look a little more relaxed in that area, especially for someone in their late 20s or early 30s. Fillers can also be used, and these last anywhere from 9-12 months. Fillers are typically used a little later in life, more in your 40s or 50s. However, someone in the 20s to 30s age range can benefit if, for example, their bottom lip is bigger than their top lip or vice versa. Or, maybe they don't have much lip, and they want to have fuller lips for their wedding day. This is when we would use Restylane, which is a filler. It looks really, really good, and it lasts about 9-12 months."
For more information on the different procedure and treatment options, visit the Surgical Procedures and Non-Surgical Procedures sections of Dr. Gilpin's website.
3. Set a Timeline
Timing should be one of the first things a bride considers when making the decision to have facial procedures or treatments prior to her wedding. After all, the timeline will allow you to get the most out of your investment, while also giving you the best look for your big day! That is why, as Dr. Gilpin explains, trial units, healing time and optimal results timing are crucial to achieve the best possible results.
"As far as timing, a minimum of three months is necessary. Especially if you are going to start a skin care line or thinking about doing any fillers or Botox, at least three months is needed. For a bride thinking about doing Botox, I would suggest doing their first round at least six months prior to their wedding. Botox lasts for about three or four months, and you want at least one round to see how it works on you. Anything else, a good time frame is no less than three months."
4. Avoid Pricing Pitfalls
While budget plays a large role in decision-making throughout the wedding planning process, the decision to have a treatment or procedure should rely much more on the research you've done than budget. Of course, you need to find a surgeon who will fit in your budget, but you also do not want your results to suffer because you were trying to find the cheapest price. Dr. Gilpin advises brides to be careful of certain advertised deals because sometimes they are not really getting you more bang for your buck. So, Meredith says to be sure you decide which options are best for you then what price fits your budget, rather than simply going for what, at first glance, appears to be a steal.
"Especially with injections, it is important to avoid pricing tiers. Some people will try to sell you more product than you need. Some, like us, charge by the unit, while some by the area and others charge for packages of multiple units. What can happen with some of these pricing tiers is sometimes you can not get all of the treatments to achieve your goals because the price unexpectedly changes. This means your results might not be as good because you did not get all of what you needed due to a pricing tier. You can also have too many treatments, which might not be what's best for the person. That's why an expert is so important. If you are wanting a good value, try to find someone who is earlier on in their career, but still has the training. That is definitely out there, but you will have to do a little bit of research to find it."
Dr. Gilpin would love to help you learn more about available procedures and treatments to have you looking flawless on your wedding day! For more information, visit his website or connect with him on Facebook. To schedule a consultation, call his office, located at 397 Wallace Road, Holmes Plaza, Suite 101, Nashville, TN 37211, at 615.942.7301. Tell David and Meredith The Pink Bride sent you!
