Dry shampoos can be hit or miss: They either work amazingly well, or they don't work at all. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that it's a total pain for me to do my hair; I'm also probably not alone in the fact that I'm usually on the lookout for something that will let me wear it down more than once. Hey, it takes time to straighten, style, and so on—I may as well get a few good days out of it, amiright?
Knowing this, then, guess how excited I was to find Alterna Haircare's Bamboo Style Cleanse Extend dry shampoo ($22, sephora.com) waiting for me in my mailbox recently? SO. FLIPPIN'. EXCITED. Seriously. And happily, it falls into the first camp, rather than the second: It works!
The bamboo extract used in Alterna's offering boosts hair's intrinsic strength, flexibility, and sustainability, while blue yucca root nourishes and provides hold. Oh, and the formula is virtually translucent, which means it doesn't leave any of that chalky white residue some dry shampoos are guilty of—unless, y'know, you spray it for thirty seconds on one part of your head. Some things just can't be helped.

I usually do a quick flat iron run over the top layers first to tame any cowlicks that may have settled while I was sleeping; then, sectioning my hair out bit by bit, I spritz a little at the roots to absorb excess oil and freshen things up. FYI, the ideal distance to hold the can is about ten inches away from your head. Once the shampoo has had a few minutes to work its magic, I brush it through, then do a little finger styling. Et voila! More than passable second-day hair with a delish mango coconut scent.
Apparently you can also use it to boost volume in freshly washed hair, too; I haven't tried this particular technique (the last thing my ridiculous mane needs is more volume), but for the fine-haired ladies out there, it might be worth a shot. For those of you who aren't wild about fruity fragrances, it's also available in sheer blossom; in both cases, though, the scent isn't at all overwhelming, so you're good to go no matter which you choose.
Pick 'em up at Sephora stores and sephora.com. If they're good enough for Katie Holmes, they're good enough for us!

Aside from beauty, fashion and my dog, one of my big loves in life is music. I have a really eclectic music taste - everything from your typical Lady Gaga-pop to Sheryl Crow country, emo Brand New, chilled Ed Sheeran or ska No Doubt. I always think if I hadn't been good at writing, then music would have been my thing. If only I could actually read music... those clarinet lessons never paid off unfortunately!
Whether it's listening to upbeat dance tracks in the gym, having a cry to a sad song when I'm feeling low or having a dance around the kitchen when I'm baking, I can't go a day without listening (and singing) to music. Therefore, it kind of goes without saying that when LG contacted me about reviewing their MusicFLOW P5 Bluetooth Speaker*, I jumped at the chance. We don't actually have a radio or CD player in our new house, so when it comes to listening to our favourite songs we usually resort to using the TV or, when I'm in the kitchen, making a make-shift speaker out of my phone and a bowl (never very effective, but better than nothing).
Therefore, I was really looking forward to testing the speaker out. I've had little portable speakers in the past but unfortunately they've never really been very good, so I was keen to see how this speaker would fair. I wasn't disappointed. Quick and easy to set up, this speaker charges up with a USB cable which is supplied, but you do need a USB adapter (or, in my case, the plug bit from my iPhone) to plug it in. Once charged it can be placed anywhere and thanks to how diddy it is (I hate nothing more than big ugly speakers) it doesn't compromise the decor in my living room.
For such a little speaker you'd think it wouldn't be that powerful when it comes to sound, right? Wrong. This speaker is LOUD. I had to go outside and crank it up full blast because I didn't want the neighbours getting mad - and it was honestly loud enough to please a busy party. I've always found portable speakers to be really quiet so I was absolutely delighted to see just how loud this one can be.
In terms of switching songs and turning the volume up and down, there are buttons on the speaker (as you can see in the pics above) but you can also control the speaker using your phone, which is really handy if you're lazy (and indecisive when it comes to choosing songs) like myself. I always use Spotify to listen to music so I can just swipe through the songs on my phone and they'll automatically change on the speaker. A really nifty feature which is perfect for parties is that up to three devices can be paired with the speaker at a time - so everyone's unique music tastes can be catered for.
Overall I absolutely love the speaker and I think it does the job perfectly. I think £99.99 is a decent price for it too - after all it's a quality bit of kit and you can take it anywhere. One of my favourite artists to listen to on this little beauty is Ed Sheeran (this man has my heart, swoon - I'm actually listening to him on it right now) and if you enter LG's amazing competition you can be in with a chance of winning a trip to meet the beautiful man himself in Sydney (full details here). To round things off nicely I put together a little playlist of all the songs I'm currently listening to on my LG MusicFLOW. You can check it out here. What are your favourite songs at the moment? Let me know!

Arrogate puts 'Frankel on dirt' tag on the line at Dubai World Cup
Arrogate will start the Dubai World Cup as heavy favourite and his trainer Bob Baffert believes the colt is the dirt-track version of the legendary Frankel.
The four year old races under the same green, white and pink colours of Prince Khalid Abdullah as flat-race great Frankel, who enjoyed a stunning unbeaten 14-race career in England.
An unbeaten status is not something Arrogate can lay claim to after he was beaten on debut, but his pedigree is undeniable.
He has emerged victorious in his six starts since that defeat 11 months ago, claiming a Breeders' Cup Classic triumph in November as well as the richest purse in racing at the $12million Pegasus World Cup in Florida in January.
Those successes have led Baffert to believe Arrogate is the best in the world and comparable to Frankel.
"It's pretty amazing the Prince has had a superhorse like Frankel and now he's got a superhorse like this horse," Baffert said in quotes reported by The Guardian ahead of the event at Meydan. "Turf versus dirt, it's so different.
"Frankel was an incredible horse, I remember every time he ran I made sure I got up real early to watch his races in England and he was spectacular.
"I think this horse is like the dirt version, in the States, of Frankel, so it's pretty amazing he would own two of the best horses that we've seen.
"I trained [2015 Triple Crown winner] American Pharoah, and I thought when he retired it was going to be really tough to fill those shoes, and then here comes Arrogate. He got into those shoes and just kept on.
"Arrogate is the best horse in the world but this is still a challenge for him, to bring him over here and for him to run his race. Hopefully he takes to it but it's different here.
"The barn area is so far away, that walk really changes things because our horses aren't used to it. So far he's handled everything well and I haven't seen anything that tells me he's not going to run his race."
"I'm not too sure I have ever sat on anything like this" jockey Mike Smith speaks about #Arrogate ahead of the #DubaiWorldCup#Meydan#DWC17pic.twitter.com/gIkK5fhUUM-- Meydan Racing (@DRC_Meydan) March 24, 2017
Steve Asmussen-trained Gun Runner is second favourite behind Arrogate, and has previous with seven wins from 13 starts over eight different tracks.
Baffert is also wary of the pace of Neolithic and he is taking nothing for granted despite the expectation on Arrogate.
"He's the heavy favourite but he still has to have racing luck and get around there, so it's not a gimme," he added.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. ─ (October 23, 2012) ─ Christopher A. Holden, President and Chief Executive Officer of AmSurg Corp. (NASDAQ: AMSG), today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Revenues for the quarter were $226.4 million, a
16% increase from $194.8 million for the third quarter of 2011. Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to AmSurg common shareholders were $15.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012 compared with $13.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011. The 2011 period included acquisition transaction costs of $0.03 per diluted share. Excluding these costs from the prior year, net earnings from continuing operations per diluted share attributable to AmSurg common shareholders increased 9% for 2012.
Revenues for the first nine months of 2012 increased 23% to $688.2 million from $560.1 million for the first nine months of 2011. Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to AmSurg common shareholders increased to $47.4 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2012 from $37.3 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, for the same period in 2011. The 2011 period included acquisition transaction costs of $0.05 per diluted share. Excluding these costs from the prior year, net earnings from continuing operations per diluted share attributable to AmSurg common shareholders increased 20% for 2012.
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Holden remarked, "We are pleased with AmSurg's earnings performance for the third quarter, which met the high end of our guidance. We produced same-center revenue growth for the quarter of 2%, even though there was one less business day in the quarter compared with the third quarter last year. With this extra day, same- center revenue would have increased 3% for the quarter. Our revenue growth also reflected an increase in centers in operation to 229 at the end of the quarter, up from 223 at same time in 2011. Our new centers contributed to an increase in total procedures for the quarter of 8%, while revenue per procedure increased 7%, as multi-specialty centers grew as a percentage of our center mix.
"We acquired one center during the third quarter and, at the end of the third quarter, had 15 centers under letter of intent, which generate annualized operating income in aggregate of approximately $60 million. We acquired one of these centers in the fourth quarter, and we expect to complete the acquisition of many, if not all, of the remaining centers in the next 90 to180 days. To effect these potential transactions, we are considering a number of alternative funding scenarios, with the dual goals of completing the current transactions and using the strength of our balance sheet to build a capital structure that will support our long-term growth objectives. We expect that such a change in our capital structure could result in annual costs of $0.15 to $0.20 per diluted share above our current funding costs. Although these costs would offset a portion of the incremental earnings anticipated from the acquisition of the immediate letter of intent pipeline, such a change would also be expected to enhance our ability to implement our future growth strategy.
"Net cash flows from operating activities increased 16% for the third quarter of 2012 to $72.5 million from $62.6 million for the third quarter of 2011. Excluding distributions to noncontrolling interests, net cash flows from operations rose 21% to $32.2 million from $26.5 million. After capital expenditures for maintenance and acquisitions of $12.4 million for the third quarter of 2012, we primarily applied our free cash flow for the quarter to net repayments of long-term debt of $21.8 million. At the end of the third quarter, our ratio of total debt to trailing 12 months EBITDA as calculated under our credit agreement improved to 2.5 compared with 2.8 at June 30, 2012 and 2.9 at the end of 2011. We had cash and cash equivalents of $35.7 million at the end of the quarter and availability under our revolving credit facility of $179 million.
"Based on our performance through the first nine months of 2012 and our outlook for the remainder of the year, we today adjust our financial guidance for 2012, while establishing our guidance for the fourth quarter of 2012, as follows:
- Revenues in a range of $915 million to $925 million for 2012 compared with the previous range of $905 million to $925 million.
- Same-center revenue increase of 3% for 2012, up from the prior range of 2% to 3%.
- Center acquisitions for 2012 that generate annualized operating income in a range of $60 million to $65 million, including approximately $3.8 million from centers acquired in the first nine months of 2012.
- Net cash flow provided by operating activities, less distributions to noncontrolling interests, in a range of $115 million to $120 million for 2012.
- Net earnings from continuing operations per diluted share attributable to common shareholders for 2012 in a range of $1.98 to $2.01 compared with the previous range of $1.97 to $2.01.
- Net earnings from continuing operations per diluted share attributable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2012 in a range of $0.48 to $0.51."
Mr. Holden concluded, "While we believe the unusual spike we have experienced in our acquisition activity is a consequence, in part, of the unresolved budget and tax issues facing the federal government, it is also reflective of trends we have discussed for some time. The pressures on physician practices have grown more intense and become more complex due to increased government regulation, changing reimbursement policies, growing requirements for IT and other expenditures, and the economic downturn.
"As a result, we expect to see an increase in consolidation momentum in the years to come, although this year's surge does not necessarily mean we will expand our annual acquisition goals. In addition, for reasons explained earlier, we believe our pipeline of centers under letter of intent affords us the opportunity to optimize our capital structure to support our growth for the long-term, rather than an opportunity to generate an immediate stair-step in our growth.
"Ultimately, we believe the centers under letter of intent at the end of the third quarter and the increasing trends toward consolidation validate our commitment to building the market leading position as the physician partner of choice. In an industry that remains highly fragmented, we believe our success at differentiating AmSurg through our physician centric culture is one of our most important strengths and will support the long-term growth in our earnings and shareholder value."

Key Points
Ten-year Treasury yields may have peaked for this cycle at 3.25%. Tighter central bank monetary policy, a strong dollar and weaker global growth may dampen growth and inflation prospects in 2019, limiting the rise in bond yields.
The Fed may pause or end federal funds rate hikes by mid-2019, near 3%, if the yield curve flattens and inflation remains tame.
Volatility likely will continue as markets adjust to the end of the easy-money era.
We expect the dollar to stay firm until there is evidence that the Fed is done tightening and/or global growth picks up.
Peak expectations
The worst may be over for the bond bear market. After more than two years of steadily rising bond yields (and falling bond prices, which move inversely to yields), our research suggests that 10-year Treasury bond yields may have peaked for this tightening cycle at the 3.25% level. The Federal Reserve likely will continue to raise short-term interest rates to about 3% in 2019, but we don't see longer-term yields moving much above the recent highs. Tighter global monetary policy, a strong U.S. dollar and sluggish global growth exacerbated by trade conflicts are likely to weigh on economic growth and inflation, limiting the rise in bond yields.
However, the path forward isn't likely to be smooth. As markets adjust to tightening financial conditions, volatility is likely to increase.
It's stormy at the top
We expect the Federal Reserve to raise rates two to three more times, bringing the federal funds target rate to the 2.75% to 3% area in early 2019, short of the Federal Open Market Committee's 3.4% median estimate for 2020.¹ Because short- and long-term interest rates tend to converge at cycle peaks, the yield curve likely will flatten toward zero. We suggest investors gradually add to average portfolio duration when yields rise.
As the Fed normalizes rates and reduces its balance sheet, volatility may increase in riskier parts of the fixed income market—such as bank loans, high-yield and emerging-market bonds—due to issuers' high leverage. We suggest investors move up in credit quality and/or limit exposure to these asset classes. Municipal bonds may post solid performance in 2019, as demand appears strong for tax-exempt income.
- Consider adding to portfolio duration as bond yields rise, in order to capture more income, as the business cycle advances.
- Consider moving up in corporate credit quality. Corporate bond market risks are rising, but the additional "yield premium" that both investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds offer versus Treasuries remains relatively low.
- Consider higher-rated municipal bonds, in the five- to eight-year part of the yield curve. Although muni credit quality is generally strong (albeit with pockets of risk), tight credit spreads don't justify taking on additional credit risk.

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend spent with family and friends. I'm so thrilled to finally share our 2017 family Christmas pictures. Last year we shot our Christmas cards in Uptown Charlotte. This year we opted for a more Southern Country look with two of our favorite furry friends. This mama & daughter duo of donkeys seemed interested in the Christmas trees more than anything.
Blogging & Working Full-Time
Working a full-time job and blogging is a complete juggling act. I'll be 100% honest, sometimes it's exhausting and overwhelming. I need and crave balance in my life so trying to find that in the midst of everything is hard sometimes.
Hot Pink for the Cold
This weekend was FREEZING in Charlotte (okay like 46 degrees). Since the temps have been dropping, I've been keeping my eye out for warm, cozy sweaters. I've also became hooked on bright pink sweaters since I found this one. This sweater is equally cozy but at a much more reasonable price. If you don't love the pink, there are several neutral colors. How cute is this beanie?!? It also comes in several colors and I can't get enough of it. It's only $14 too!
How to Style a Cardigan
During college, I wore cardigans but I never really liked how I styled them. I always ended up looking like a school girl rather than effortlessly chic. As my style has evolved, I feel like I've cracked the code for styling a cardigan. For me, they have become a closet staple because they are a transition piece I can wear for work and play. I have 5 tips for helping you style your cardigans:

Becoming and being vegan are thoughtful acts; by doing them we commit to living thoughtfully. But do we do enough to be thoughtful in our advocacy? How can we ensure that our intention to live thoughtfully is really borne out in what we promote? Vegan Lass explores how certain types of advocacy are not in fact consistent with thoughtfulness and can actually harm our cause. By highlighting the problems with common advocacy methods - from naked advertising to violent campaigning - Vegan Lass suggests a considered, an inclusive, and, most importantly, an effective approach to vegan advocacy.

We know that the environment is suffering from the deadly effects of livestock production and that the diseases which kill most people in the west have their roots in animal products. So why are the Government, church, media and the ruling classes so silent about it. Because they're doing nicely, thank you!

From the LADY: [to Maggie:] I will always love you. I will take care of you forever. I loved you when you were only a picture on my iPod that I carried around and showed people. "This is the dog I'm trying to adopt," I would say as people squinted at the tiny picture. I loved you when I saw you for the first time. I scanned the parking lot at the adoption event, quickly skipping over all the dogs that were not you. When I saw you, I knew I would always be your lady.
Below is a slide show of the adoption event where we met Maggie. Many Thanks to everyone at HART, especially to Kim who was an awesome Foster Mama.

These are people who will truly work with you and your child. My child received a well-rounded, multi-cultural experience which was important during a difficult transition in our lives."
- "An especially good place to have your children, if you are looking to have an experience for your child, which is nuturing. Reading is such a good example and the Y Staff read to my granddaughter daily. LOVE IT. Today we worry about how much we spend. However, this daycare is affordable for the working parent and there is NO COMPROMISE on the quality. It is AWESOME"
- "After having two friends who also have children in their care that recommend the facility it was a no brainier to put our son here. They got him started with less then a weeks notice after I got a quick job offer. The playground area is nice and the classrooms are filled with books and toys. My son hugs everyone goodbye each day and freely walks into class and hugs me bye without a blink and smiles every time I say the word school."

In the torrential downpour, we got of the cable Car past the Walgreen's drug store and wandered to Angelo Brocato Ice Cream, the famous gelato eatery near City Park. Angelo Brocato was on my NOLA hit list for a while now not only for gelato, but for their Italian pastries.
There were so many flavors to choose from including amaretto, praline, pistachio almond, baci, coconut, and apricot.Angelo Brocato pastries including cream puffs, Baba Rhum and napoleans.
The cucidati and fig cookies were absolutely amazing. They were either plain, covered in sugar glaze, rainbow sprinkles or almonds.
Cucidati is an Italian fig cookie and the better version of the Nabisco Fig Newton. Boy have I been missing out. The soft, lightly sweet fig filling with a crumbly lightly sweetened exterior.
Roman candy is like a harder taffy candy rolled in wax paper, which comes in ice cream flavors vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.
Spumoni is a layered ice cream, with multiple flavors including chocolate and pistachio flavors.
Peach gelato was THE BEST gelato I have ever eaten. The peach flavor was so fresh and a genuine bite of summer. I felt like was eating a perfectly ripened, sweet peach.

Marketing has at all times been the important thing determinant of business progress and success. The function of this examine continues to be the development of significant benchmarks by which the management of associations can consider their very own membership marketing methods and ways. When excited about marketing, you will have to set out some form of plan and write your goals down so you know what you need your marketing marketing campaign to attain, whether it's just getting more people to learn about your company or whether it's something else. You can make bold statements and even create a controversy, in case you assume that is going to help your marketing.
The privilege of marketing to people who want to be marketed to. This asset is large enough and invaluable enough to construct a complete enterprise round (witness Scott Adams and Amazon) and it upsets traditional power buildings in just about each industry. About 4 years in the past i spent $32 shopping for an information marketing e Book which had a catchy title: information marketing a way to earn revenue. The most simple marketing tool is the product which includes product design, high quality, options, branding, and packaging.
Journalists typically love talking to indies as a result of they get to speak to the precise builders: actual folks instead of some random marketing puppet! Sure, I can recognize a wise marketing tactic as a lot as the subsequent guy, but searching for one, or perhaps a handful of these ways to do the job simply isn't a sound approach. Finally, what I was expecting was some sturdy advice on Intenet marketing but I felt more like I was getting a sales pitch as to why the firm I labored with should seek the advice of with Godin's firm.
One significantly unscrupulous manager I had used to change time punches slightly so that he wouldn't should pay as a lot additional time, highly illegal if he had been caught. All the efforts which have gone in accumulating data and dealing hard on the marketing analysis initiatives culminate in the remaining report generation. Integrate marketing planning, budgeting and monitoring throughout all channels, including email, digital, social, SMS, and traditional. Viral marketing entails the creation of content for the business that's then shared by shoppers to one another.

February 13, 2018
Greetings colleagues,
In the interest of increased transparency, and in an effort to help us all better understand the issues facing our school district, I'll be sending updates following School Board work sessions and meetings.
Here are key takeaways from today's work session:
External operator recommendation
Polk County Public Schools currently has six schools that are in Year 2 of the school turnaround process. Those schools include Bartow Middle, Garner Elementary, Griffin Elementary, Kathleen Middle, Lake Alfred Polytech Academy and Lake Marion Creek Middle.
The state mandated that Polk County Public Schools develop a contingency plan if the schools cannot improve to a grade of C or better during the current school year. School grades will be released in June.
The state gave Polk County Public Schools three contingency plan options, including closing the schools and transferring students to higher performing schools; closing the schools and reopening them as charter schools; and hiring an external operator(s) to manage the schools and achieve gains in the schools' grades.
My senior staff and I selected the external operator option because we see it as the most collaborative turnaround option available to us. The external operator will help us build the instructional capacity of our schools, while causing the least disruption to the schools and their surrounding communities. Our goal is to improve our schools and keep our students, employees and schools as part of the school district. Closing the schools or turning them into charters were never options under consideration.
Today, my senior staff and I recommended Educational Directions as the external operator that will work with the six schools listed above if they are unable to improve their school grades to a C or better.
Why did we recommend Educational Directions? Because of the three external operators we interviewed, Educational Directions offered the greatest degree of collaboration and flexibility. The first question I posed to each of the external operators was, "What happens if the schools improve to a C or better?" Educational Directions was the only firm that agreed to hand all school operations back over to the district if the schools improve to a C or better. The other firms wanted to continue their involvement, at a financial cost to the district, even if the schools reach a grade of C or better. That was unacceptable.
It is our intent to begin contract negotiations with Educational Directions, with the aim of having a contract to present to the School Board on Feb. 27.
However, let me stress again that the external operator is a contingency plan. The staff and students at each of the six schools listed above are working incredibly hard to improve their school grade. I am extremely optimistic that the schools will make a C or better.
For additional information on Educational Directions, visit http://educational-directions.com/index.html. I'm also making available the presentation Dr. Michael Akes, chief academic officer, made to the School Board today. You can find it here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/di351y2j1k5p3d3/AADCoxds61wK-FgfNUB3qfpQa?dl=0
Charter School Contracts
Today, the Board also heard reports on two charter schools seeking renewed contracts: Polk State Lakeland Gateway to College and Discovery Academy of Lake Alfred. The Charter Renewal Team recommended renewing contracts with both charter schools. The School Board will vote on Feb. 27 whether to begin negotiating contracts with the schools. The presentation Melissa Brady, director of charter schools, gave to the School Board can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/di351y2j1k5p3d3/AADCoxds61wK-FgfNUB3qfpQa?dl=0
Learning Support Update
Learning Support staff members also provided the School Board with an update that included a snapshot of the school support structure of the division; the various supports the division provides directly or facilitates through contracted providers; the process for requests for support and consultation; professional development areas provided through the division; and an overall view of ESE funding/spending categories. The presentation Dr. Kimberly Steinke, Assistant Superintendent of Learning Support, gave can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/di351y2j1k5p3d3/AADCoxds61wK-FgfNUB3qfpQa?dl=0
We will continue to provide updates from Board work sessions and meetings going forward.
Thank you for all you do!

Last month, we looked at ways that healthcare organizations are working on transportation options to improve patient attendance for non-emergency appointments. This month, we will look at how healthcare organizations are working with hospitality organizations to improve patient experience with on-campus or nearby housing options for patients and their families.
Here are some examples:
While millions of dollars are being invested in these housing options, it makes financial sense for hospitals to find alternatives to in-patient treatment. Says John T. Murphy, CEO of Murphy Development Group that oversaw the construction of the Cleveland Clinic Holiday Inn, "For hospitals, the economics to get patients out from under their roofs is compelling. Housing some patients can cost up to $2,500 a night; the Cleveland's new Holiday Inn is around $250. And patients are often more comfortable outside a hospital's walls, too."
What, if anything, is your organization doing to improve accommodations for patients and family?
Most organizations know that it's no longer "customer service"—it's "customer experience." With the advent of multiple channels to reach and engage with customers, it has become imperative for organizations to develop and implement a seamless customer experience (CX) across all those channels.
How do you develop consistent, excellent customer experience? Here are some tips:
Has your organization reviewed its customer experience strategy lately? Are you looking at touch points?
In May of 2016, the El Paso Times published a series of articles detailing the extent of liver disease in the El Paso-area Hispanic population. This led The Hospitals of Providence, an El Paso-area health system to collaborate with the newspaper and a gamification software company to develop an online trivia game focused on liver disease.
The newspaper series revealed that more Hispanics in the El Paso area died each year from liver disease than from lung or breast cancer. It also found that the county's death rate from liver disease was twice as high as the state average in 2013. As liver disease is often preventable, hospital officials decided to follow the lead of other providers who have used online tools and interactive games to target specific populations to provide information about disease prevention.
An online trivia game on liver health topics was developed. It includes educational videos, links to a podcast and infographics on liver disease. As of early January, the game has been played more than 3,000 times on mobile devices and computers.
The gamification software company, OfferCraft, plans to develop more mHealth games in the future. Aron Ezra, CEO of OfferCraft, says, "While this game deals with liver disease, in the future we aim to release new games to provide important information about many other diseases. Making education about a tough subject less intimidating and more memorable can help improve health and save lives."
What is your organization doing towards population health efforts? Do you have a gamification story to share?
By closely tracking data patterns from wearable devices, it may be possible to detect when a person is getting sick, according to new research from PLOS Biology.
The research team, led by geneticist Dr. Michael Snyder at Stanford University, looked at 2 billion measurements taken from 60 study participants. The measurements included weight, heart rate, skin temperature, sleep, blood oxygen levels, physical activity, caloric burn and exposure to gamma rays and x-rays, and were measured by one or more of seven commercially-available activity trackers. Baseline data for each participant was established at the beginning of the study. The researchers found that data patterns deviated from the established norm for each participant in situations such as changes in environmental conditions (flying in an airplane, etc.), illness or other factors affecting health.
Specific health observations that were detected by the wearables:
The researchers say, "Overall, these results indicate that portable biosensors provide useful information for monitoring personal activities and physiology and are likely to play an important role in managing health and enabling affordable health care access to groups traditionally limited by socioeconomic class or remote geography."
Has your organization looked at using wearables to track patient health status?

Game 3 of the 2009 World Series between the Phils and the Yanks got off to a late and wet start.
Originally set to start at 7:57 p.m, the game didn't actually get going until 9:15 p.m.
The Phillies tarped the field shortly after 7 p.m. when the rain became more than a pre-game nuisance.
MLB officials interviewed on Fox-TV assured viewers the game would get underway and would get finished Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Cole Hamels was on the mound for the Phillies against the Yanks' Andy Pettitte.

No one was home and I mean no one. but we had a fun activity that was supposed to be with non-members and less actives, but it just turned into a branch party pretty much, but it was still fun we watched Meet the Mormons and had tones of snacks. So I don't know if you know Eliza or not but she got married this week. She was one of my friends but she didn't go to success, she was a year younger than me.

Land of the Narnias: Adventures on a Boat
Friday December 10th 2010
Somehow, three Narnia films have now been made and still nobody seems to have noticed that the entire cast are entirely incompetent. The little girl who looks like Lily Allen, the guy with the annoying hair, her with the enormous lips and, of course, the living incarnation of crap that is Ben Barnes: they're all incapable of expressing even the slightest of emotions without also making 70% of the audience want to sacrifice themselves to the nearest patch of evil mist.
So thank God (or a lion who is the physical manifestation of God, or something) that Voyage of the Dawn Treader introduces Son of Rambow alumnus Will Poulter (Lee Carter!) into the world of Narnia, and he's more than willing to show every other cast member exactly how this acting lark is done.
If anything, he's so much more engaging than the rest of the cast that you end up siding with his supposedly antagonistic character for the best part of the movie. WHY EXACTLY SHOULD WE BELIEVE IN TALKING RATS AND MAGICAL LIONS AND PARALLEL WORLDS? YOU TELL EM WILL! It's all bullshit anyway.
Someone give him a starring role before I come over there and do it myself.

There are a number of questions about the future of the African National Congress (ANC) leadership in KwaZulu-Natal. A disgruntled faction won their case to have the 2015 leadership congress declared null and void.
The African National Congress Youth League in KZN, as well as the ANC Women's League, gathered on Wednesday to convene a way forward and addressed the media.
The ANCYL said this isn't about the conference but is rather an attempt to destabilise regions and the KZN province towards the elective conference in December.
In 2015, former chair Senzo Mchunu was forced to resign after losing the ANC's provincial leadership race to Sihle Zikalala.

Take a listen:
Earlier, on the Eusebius McKasier show, ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa said the ruling has far reaching implications for the party.

A tiny energy revolution
We've come to the point where community gardening is well understood – could community energy be far behind? Just as many people don't know how their food reaches their plate, many aren't plugged into where their power and heating originates.
"We have been completely disconnected as consumers from our sources," says John Sorenson, the executive director of Portland-based Natural Neighborhood Energy (N2E).
Chatting over coffee last week about the all-volunteer N2E – a non-profit focusing on developing "community energy" projects – Sorenson described a recent conversation he had with an official in a small Oregon city. Asked where natural gas comes from, the offical told Sorensen "the pipe."
"We have a notion that someone else pays for electricity," Sorenson said. Changing that notion will require education. Sorenson hopes that once more people better understand that importing power takes money and accountability for environmental impacts out of the community, they'll take more ownership of it.
N2E made headlines last year for proposing a thermal energy utility based at Portland's Sunnyside Environmental School that would use excess heat from the school's boilers to serve its surrounding neighborhood. It has also discussed a thermal energy system for Portland's toney Pearl District powered by waste mash from the city's breweries. Of course, Sunnyside and Pearl aren't exactly economically distressed communities, but the projects are examples of new interest in "community energy."
Community energy could help the development of so-called "energy democracy," according to the Center for Social Inclusion, which in June released a white paper on community scale energy projects. The goal, the paper says, is "transforming neglected and isolated communities - often poor, and often communities of color - into energy producers who contribute to the nation's overall capacity, add clean energy to the grid, enhance their economic and political ties across the region, and supply their own energy needs."
Hundreds of volunteer groups across the country are working on such projects in communities large and small and defined in myriad ways, not just by geographic, economic and demographic factors.
After my post last week highlighting the job worries preventing many communities from taking more dramatic environmental stances, it's encouraging to see efforts to identify what common resources communities share that they can deploy both for improved economic activity and environmental benefit. Sorenson, who assisted the study, said there isn't a single way to make this happen. Instead, community energy is all about identifying a given community's specific energy demands and the resources within that community that might be able to serve those demands.
The challenge for N2E and other organizations is to figure out what resources and opprotunities communities have in common. In a state like Oregon where it's legal to trade thermal power across property lines, waste heat from a coffee roaster might be a resource. In Mammoth, Calif., abundant geothermal resources have value. Santa Fe is one of many communities experimenting with getting energy from biomass.
"We're not saying we have a silver bullet," Sorenson said. In fact, in many communities, the "shared resource" might not be a tangible fuel source. Another nonprofit, Seattle-based Northwest Sustainable Energy for Economic Development, promotes weatherization and energy conservation as well as facilitating financing for community solar and wind farms in its own community energy project.
"When we're talking about community energy it's definitely key to keep in mind that we're not just talking about renewable energy production," says Jessica Raker, a NW SEED project manager. "We're also talking about energy efficiency. That is the key area to hit as far as some of the biggest impact."
Northwest SEED focuses on education and technical assistance for projects that keep clean energy within communities across the region. One of the group's first projects brought 10 rural landowners together into a wind cooperative that pooled its money to build a wind turbine which, in turn, offset some of their electricity costs. The group – which has helped communities get better financing and grants for projects and worked with Native American tribes in Oregon and Washington to do conservation training – tries not to strictly define "community" and not to focus too much on energy production over conservation.
Instead, self-defined communities approach Northwest SEED for assistance. In turn, the group educates them on the best way to maximize the community's economic interests while increasing awareness about climate impacts from energy choices. Meanwhile, by bringing different stakeholders together, developing community energy has the potential to promote community involvement in general.
"When you look at what's going on in energy right now there are a lot of different scales" Raker said. "Commercial projects are great because they are certainly increasing the ammount of community energy within our mix, but a lot of times most of the economic benefits are going to companies that are not located in the community. We see our niche as working with communities to participate in this sort of clean energy future to keep those benefits within the community."
Bill Lascher is a Portland, Oregon-based freelancer. He focuses on the environment's intersection with science, business, culture and policy.
He got the name for his Web site, Lascher at Large, from the legal column his father penned for 20 years before his death. Lascher is currently working on a project with his grandmother to tell the story of her cousin, Melville Jacoby, a foreign correspondent who died in the early days of World War II.

Mesh Bee is a 2.4GHz wireless transceiver mady by seeed studio. It uses JN516x wireless chip from NXP. It is open hardware, open source. The IDE and tools from NXP are also free.
At first, I bought two Mesh Bee modules. But the default firmware inside the modules are co-ordinator firmware. And I need to change one of them as end device. For that, I bought a UartSBee v5 and tested as shown in http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Mesh_Bee.
To connect Co-ordinator to computer, I used UartSBee. For the end device, I used FTDI 3.3V cable with 3V3, TX1, RX1, GND connected via breadboard.
And I found that they worked correctly.

Crime and Criminal Justice provides students with a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the study of criminology by taking an interdisciplinary approach to explaining criminal behaviour and criminal justice.
The book is divided into two parts, which address the two essential bases that form the discipline of criminology. Part One describes, discusses and evaluates a range of theoretical approaches that have offered explanations for crime, drawing upon contributions from the disciplines of sociology, psychology, and biology. It then goes on to apply these theories to specific forms of criminality. Part Two offers an accessible but detailed review of the major philosophical aims and sociological theories of punishment, and examines the main areas of the contemporary criminal justice system â including the police, the courts and judiciary, prisons, and more recent approaches to punishment.
Presenting a clear and thorough review of theoretical thinking on crime, and of the context and current workings of the criminal justice system, this book provides students with an excellent grounding in the study of criminology.
