Relax, you don't have Ebola. But thanks to the panic over infectious diseases, there's been an uptick in people getting flu shots this year — good news since you're way more likely to die from the flu. And with pregnant moms, infants and young children some of the most vulnerable to the disease it's important to stay updated on the new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control about how to keep your family safe.
Greater fears about contagious diseases, likely sparked by the recent panic over Ebola, have put this year's flu vaccine in high demand. And that's a good thing, say infectious disease experts. Even though there is currently no vaccine for Ebola and the flu vaccine won't protect you against anything but some strains of influenza, this spike could save a lot of lives.
Thanks to two new scientific developments this year, the CDC has updated its flu guidelines. Officially, experts recommend everyone over six months old get the flu shot or mist, with rare exceptions, but this year they're really pushing the vaccine for pregnant women. In the past, women have worried about the safety of getting the shot while gestating but a new study confirms how important it is.
"The protection that the woman builds up passes through the placenta and goes into the newborn baby and helps protect that newborn baby during the first six months of its life when the baby is too young to be vaccinated itself. And, so, there's a double reason to vaccinate pregnant women," said Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, to NPR.
In addition to pregnant moms and infants, young children are also a very vulnerable group. So not only is it important they get immunized against the flu but this year the CDC has changed its recommendation to say that kids between ages 2 and 8 should now get the FluMist rather than the traditional shot. Several new studies found that because of the way it's made — from a weakened live virus rather than a dead virus — the FluMist confers a stronger protection that lasts longer. (Bonus: No needles for terrified tots!)
Lastly, there's the newly approved mega-vaccine that gives you four times the dose of the regular one. While it's generally recommended just for the elderly or people with compromised immune systems, a new study found the high dose was 24 percent more effective at preventing the flu: "any influenza, no matter what circulated, no matter what strain it was." If you or someone in your household suffers from immune issues it's worth chatting with your doctor about it. The researchers found the only notable side effect was increased arm soreness for a couple of days.
But no matter what type of flu vaccine you decide to get, according to the experts, the important thing is to get immunized.

This week the Guardian 'Backbencher' column has no "Political Hottie" feature, Guido suspected the failure last week to include the feature was because it might have been written by Tom Happold (in drag as the short-skirted 'Backbencher'), but this week the feature is again missing.
Could the recent hectoring from this quarter of the blogosphere have led to its permanent and deserved demise? A question for Ros Taylor, the Media Wrap editor, methinks.
UPDATE : Its back this week!

by Helen Leung
Reviewed by Terry South for Quality Book Reviews
Here is another great book from one of our myspace authors.
Exposed is a story that will tug at your heart strings. This is a nice hard back book that is a quick read.
The story is that of the author's, Helen Leung, and her disease known as Dermatomyositis, and Dermatomyositis is one of a group of acquired muscle diseases called inflammatory myopathies. The disease, which has a somewhat severe onset, affects both children and adults. Females are more often affected than males, Dermatomyositis is characterized by a rash accompanying, or more often, preceding muscle weakness. Eventually, people have difficulty rising from a sitting position, climbing stairs, lifting objects, or reaching overhead. In some cases, muscles further away from the trunk of the body may be affected later in the course of the disease. Problems with swallowing (dysphagia) may occur. Occasionally, the muscles ache and are tender to the touch. Affected individuals may also feel fatigue and discomfort and experience weight loss or a low-grade fever. (Being a nurse had to explain a little of the facts of the disease so you can come to an understanding of this disease and its effects).
The story begins while Helen is at a young age, she discusses her somewhat abusive family life, her illness, and her diagnosis and the hardship and struggles and the attempts to cure her. She visited many physicians both in New York and China. As the years pass Helen begins to accept her illness. She is very courageous and overcomes her disease, even though she spends the high school years confined to a wheelchair. She is strong and her will to overcome all that she faces is amazing, she talks of other students starring and whispering, but determined to be strong she uses all their stares and whispers to full fill her dreams and desires to succeed against it all.
I highly recommend this compelling read, and commend such a strong lady, both her and her book get 5 stars, and her story is an inspiration to us all.

PwC and EY make list of most open-minded businesses
Research from salary benchmarking website Emolument.com has revealed which firms are the most open-minded and willing to consider new ideas. Professional services and Big Four firms PwC and EY made it into the top five, cited by 88 per cent and 86 per cent of employees respectively.
Goldman Sachs topped the list, with 90 per cent of employees being satisfied with the company's open-mindedness.
Investment management company Blackrock came in second with 89 per cent, while management consultants Accenture made it into fifth place with 80 per cent.
The research found young people with less than five years of experience are the happiest when it comes to their employer's open-mindedness, with 62 per cent being satisfied. This is compared to 49 per cent of employees with over 15 years of experience.
The sectors with the highest levels of employee satisfaction were also identified, with media businesses topping the list at 75 per cent. This was followed by web companies at 71 per cent and consulting and professional services companies at 67 per cent. Financial services also made the list, coming in seventh place with 57 per cent.
Emolument.com Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer Alice Leguay commented: "As corporates strive to connect with millennials and retain them, it is crucial for employees to feel they are part of a company which can remain current."
She stated that continuous training, skills development, flexible working patterns, sabbaticals and unlimited vacation are all ways in which businesses can show open-mindedness.

A RAPE CRISIS centre has revealed how it was forced to turn people away due to a lack of space.
The Galway Rape Crisis Centre was struggling to meet demand in its premises last year, requiring it to move to a facility three times bigger.
Officially opening the new premises last night, the GRCC said it still had a six- month waiting list, with more than 40 people waiting for long term counselling.
The new offices were officially opened by Druid Theatre founder Garry Hynes who said she was "honoured" to become patron of the group. "I'm really humbled because whatever little I can do for the group by being patron is nothing compared to the wonderful work they are doing every day," she said.
In 2011, 671 people contacted GRCC for help, one-third of whom sought long term counselling. The new building has 12 counselling rooms.
GRCC maintains a 24 hour/365 day service.

Here you'll find my answers to my most asked questions regarding nail care, nail polish, and nail art!!
Nail Care FAQ:
Nail Polish FAQ:
I wonder how you clean your striping brush in between colors/uses??ReplyDelete
I use a tiny shot glass with some Zoya Remove+. I soak it for about 1 minutes, then blot it in a paper towel. I repeat this until it's clean.Delete
IS cutting your cuticles really that bad for you? I feel like mine grow so much that I need to. :/
LOVE your blog by the way!
Cutting your cuticles is actually very bad!!! I use Essie Disappearing Trick cuticle remover. It gets rid of the excess without causing any damage!Delete
Super tips!! I already use most of them but I am in dire need of something for my splitting, sore nails or my blog will suffer! lol I will have to give Nailtiques Formula 2 a try!!! Thanks a million :)ReplyDelete
How do u sponge on your polishes? What do you use?ReplyDelete
I use a very porous basic bath sponge for creme colors. Shimmer shades are much easier for sponging, so I use a simple makeup wedge sponge.Delete
Very nice tips! I really don't want to spend $10 on a top coat, but if they seche vite at ulta, and I have a $3.50 off of 10 coupon, well, it may not be so bad!ReplyDelete
You can find Seche Vite for much cheaper at Sally's. :)Delete
Wow, these are awesome tips! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
How do i keep from biting my nails?ReplyDelete
This is actually a question that I get asked a lot!! There are a number of different things you can do! First off, keep a highly noticeable nail polish on your nails at all times!!! Seeing a nice coat of polish on your nails will make you much less likely to bite your nails and ruin your polish. If you damage them, start all over! If you have the urge to bite, busy your hands with something! It could be something as easy as squeezing a small stress ball. There are also solutions sold to put on your nails that have a horrible taste, should you try to bite them. I don't typically recommend these, as the flavor can get on to a food you are eating. You could even try wearing press on nails for a little while! A tiny amount of nail glue for this is much less damaging than using acrylics. After wearing them for a week or two, your natural nails will have grown out considerably and will be ready for an awesome manicure that you won't want to bite!!! I hope some of that helps!!! :)Delete
Great tips! My best nail secret is Swanson ionic trace minerals. My thin peeling nails stopped peeling and got so strong within the first week of taking this supplement. It's been about two months and my nails are so long and so strong that I can't even believe it.ReplyDelete
I love these tips! Oh, and I swear by Nailtiques Formula #2, it is my nails saving grace :O)ReplyDelete
I started taking biotin when I started my blog, it is phenomenal! I haven't chipped a nail in months!ReplyDelete
That's an awesome tip!!!!Delete
I love your colors and ideas. But I have an odd issue. Whenever I paint my nails the polish will peel off starting at my cuticle the next day. I also get tons of bubbles so it actually feels textured. What can I doReplyDelete
Try applying the polish in thinner coats. Thick coats are notorious for bubbling. Also, two thick coats take much longer to dry than three thinner coats. For the peeling issue, always make sure to wipe your nails off with remover prior to applying your base coat. The remover will get rid of any traces of oil on your nails and improve the lifespan of your mani.Delete
These are awesome tips - I've had the tape problem and the splitting nails issue. Thanks for putting this together! :)ReplyDelete
You're so welcome!! I really hope it helps!Delete
When I do my mani's my nail poliah starts peeling at the tips that same day. Can I fix this pronlemReplyDelete
For the peeling issue, always make sure to wipe your nails off with remover prior to applying your base coat. The remover will get rid of any traces of oil on your nails and improve the lifespan of your mani.Delete
i love your blog:) how many nailpolishes do you have??ReplyDelete
love your tips..I've started doing my own nails and they feel sooo much better and love SV!! i'm a mother of 3 so quick drying is VERY important to me!! Thanx!!!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad it helped you!!!Delete
I always let my nails breathe, I know you said you dont have to let them, but it helps prevent staining, and if you polish your nails a lot and then want to go naked your fingers will hurt. Not joking happened to my aunt.ReplyDelete
Oh wow, I've never experienced that before. Thanks for the input! :)Delete
Great tips! Thanks so much for the post. Your nails look almost too good to be true lol...I definitely will try some of these ideas :)ReplyDelete
Aw thanks so much Kelly!! I do everything I can to preserve my nail health, but we all have issues with them from time to time. :)Delete
Where do you get the nail stamping kit? I would love to try that!ReplyDelete
There are a lot of great stamping plate sets! Believe it or not, a good place to start is actually on Amazon! Here's a link to all the plate sets!!
I like the tip about using the stamper to apply a water marble to the nail. Do you have a tutorial somewhere showing how to do this? I have just discovered the water marble technique and tried it for the first time today. The results weren't great, but they aren't bad either (though I am a perfectionist). How would you clean the stamper after each marble?ReplyDelete
I don't have one up, just be sure to top coat the polish on the stamper after you've picked it up from the water. Let that dry, then peel it off with some tweezers, and put it on the nail.Delete
I love your blog! I'm curious about your storage solutions for your extensive polish collection? I'm having a hard time finding something that holds a large number of polish bottles!ReplyDelete
This was actually an issue for me too. I was using Helmers from Ikea for a while, but I was so tired of not being able to see the bottles and digging through the drawers to find the right shade. I had this piece commissioned from a company called GL Wooden Things. I love it!!!
This is absolutely awesome. What an amazing idea, and so beautifully made. I've just bought a really great DVD storage cabinet which my hubby is going to adapt for me, and your shelves have given me a couple of great ideas. Thanks for sharing. What an amazing collection of polishes, too. Nail Art Heaven, for sure!Delete
What a great site. I wish I had found it earlier!!ReplyDelete
Great site, I wish I had found it earlier!!ReplyDelete
Great tips! I deduced that most of my bubbling was caused by drafts - polishing in front of an open window, under an a/c vent, strong cross breeze, etc. Avoiding those has reduced my bubbles to virtually nil! I've never seen mention of this in any tips/tricks list. Hope it helps.ReplyDelete
Awesome tip! Thank you so much!! I'll add that to the list!Delete
Thanks for all your great tips. I am a newbie, and tips like these are just soooooo valuable. I have made a copy of them and saved them onto my computer for future use in case this post disappears.
I have one tip I'd like to pass on, and that is to use pure Jojoba oil on your nails and cuticles. When I went through chemotherapy earlier this year, my nails were badly damaged by the chemo, and they went all brown, flaky and peeling. No one told me to use cuticle oil or other nail treatments to protect my nails, but finally I discovered Jojoba oil, and now you can actually see where I started using it on my nails. The brown, yukky area is growing out, and there is finally light on the horizon. I have started my own blog in the hope that I can help other people going through chemotherapy to not suffer the damage I did. I do use other cuticle oils and hand creams as well, but I use Jojoba oil at least twice a day. I'm going to start making my own cuticle oil once I've used up the ones I've already got.
Hey Nicole,
I got a question for you. . . .How do I get my image bold and crisp when I am using my nail art plate? I can never seem to get my black to look really black and crisp. Iv tried using different polishes but I can never seem to get it to look sharp and dark like the pictures I see online. What do you do to get bold, sharp colors when you use your plates?
Are you making sure to use an actual polish made for stamping?Delete
Sure I accept all these tricks to create best nail art design. I want more tips and tricks like this.
Nail Polish Design
I tried the gradient french tip technique and, while the color blend looks great, I had issues with sponge particles getting stuck on the polish. What did I do wrong?ReplyDelete
I read once that sponges decay quickly w/ nail polish so try to use a fresh section of sponge for your gradient.
What should my wife do to prevent her polish from coming off while using acetone to take off other peoples polish and she also wears gel polish. please give us some tips thank u!ReplyDelete
THANK YOU for the tips about stamping! I've had trouble with getting the image to stick to my stamper. After reading here and filing a little on my stamper it works perfectly! Thank you so much, I can finally play with all my plates that have been laying around :D sorry if I double postedReplyDelete
Thank you for all the great tips! You have inspired me to take my acrylics off. Any tips on the best way to remove them? Thanks!ReplyDelete
Today at Target I saw "peel off nail polish" by Sally Hansen.
I wonder if that would help with glitter polishes.
Also I'm so happy that I found your blog!
Do you have a favorite base coat you like to use?ReplyDelete
I'm having an issue where I go to put on another coat of nail polish, and it takes off the polish I've put it the middle. One polish was just regular polish and I went to put Seche Clear on top and it took some of the colour off. I thought it was a flook because she an I use the same clear coat but hers is newer and thinner than mine. Then I took it all off, changed my mind about what colour I wanted, and used a Sally Hansen miracle gel and that did the same thing. On the second coat, after the first had completely dried and the first was a thin coat, I added another thin coat, but the middle kept thinning out. I painted a strip in the middle, filled the right then the left, but the middle rubbed off. Can you help please? I've noticed my polish is always a little thinner in the middle.ReplyDelete
I have a question. I've noticed that my manis never last more than a day; sometimes they chip within a few hours. I've tried everything: acetone or nail polish remover to remove oils from my nails, different base coats, different top coats, thin layers, thick layers, brand new polish vs.old polish, and it all results in chips! It's to the point where I don't even paint my nails anymore because I don't want to waste my polish on a 24-hour mani. What's your take on this?ReplyDelete

Neighbouring northwest communities of Bowness and Montgomery harken back to Calgary's formative years
Perched along the shores of the Bow River in Calgary's northwest, the adjacent communities of Montgomery and Bowness share a powerful sense of history.
"Bowness is now 116 years old, with generations of families that still live and work here," said Jacqui Esler, executive director of the Mainstreet Bowness BIA and former main street business owner.
Bowness began as a village in 1911, when a local developer purchased the lands from a longstanding, prominent ranching family. The community sprouted, fueled by a strong local flavour. It was tied by streetcar to the "big city" of Calgary, but did not become part of it until it was annexed in 1964 when its population was 9,100.
Montgomery's genesis was similar. "It began as a hamlet much like Bowness. They used to call it Mudgomery when it was first founded because it was so muddy," said Montgomery resident Katherine Moore. "There are still original homes attached to larger parcels of land in the area. One of my neighbours still has the original well on his property."
More than half a century later, not much has changed – many of the communities' founding families still own homes in the areas.
"Bowness is now 116 years old, with generations of families that still live and work here," – Jacqui Esler, Mainstreet Bowness BIA executive director
Perhaps two of Calgary's best examples of "live, work and play" communities, Bowness and Montgomery are dotted with a host of mom-and-pop stores, including everything from funky restaurants to auto shops. Many residents own businesses along the relatively untouched historical main street, which runs along Bowness Road for three blocks from 62nd Street to 65th Street northwest. Some of the businesses have been in families for generations, much like the homes.
Other residents are new to the area – artists, business owners, young families and those looking for the peace and quiet that proximity to nature and the river offer.
Esler says Bowness is attracting large numbers of new residents, especially young families. "Bowness offers affordable inner-city housing, along with a small-town feeling and strong community vibe," she said.
In Montgomery, the population is also inching upwards, growing by more than 15 per cent since 2010.
The interlaced communities are infused with lots of local art, from quirky murals to planters adorned with a collage of black-and-white photos of the original village. Local artist Dean Stanton has also whipped up some colourful magic, in the form of a community mural in Montgomery.
Local festivals and events ramp up the excitement in these two neighbouring communities, weaving people and ideas together. Events like the annual Tour de Bowness bike race and festival, Halloween on Mainstreet and Shop Local Saturday instill a strong sense of belonging and community spirit among area residents. The Montgomery Community Centre also hosts its share of fun-filled festivities, from the annual BBQ on the Bow to the Bow River Banquet.
And Bowness Park offers a variety of possibilities when it comes to outdoor adventures, from simply lazing by the river to cross-country skiing, running and ice skating.
Home styles in the communities are eclectic. In amongst the vintage homes, rejuvenation is occurring, as new builds and infills rise from the devastation of Calgary's 2013 floods.
"I'd say about 70 per cent of the homes around us have been knocked down and rebuilt. But I'm all about the sense of history and I love our original home," said Moore. "It's super funky and it has a real personality."

The Train Ride; The cheapest way to get to Ayutthaya is to get to the railway station in Bangkok and take the train (Hua Lamphong). It cost just 15 Baht (one-way) for foreigner and free for the locals. However, you get what you paid for, the train is very slow as it took around 2 hours and more for a distance of approximately 85km and bring you to Ayutthaya Station.
The Boat Ride; Seperated by the river, I had to take a boat for 20 Baht (one-way) to cross the river from the Ayutthaya railaway station to the town.

The city was captured by the Burmese in 1569, though not pillaged, it lost many valuable and artistic objects. The missing Buddha head are cause by the Burmese who cut them off during the war.
Wihan Phramongkhon Bophit; It is an active temple compound, and throughout the day many people visit and worship the Buddha image. Interestingly it lies adjacent to the famous Wat Phra Si Sanphet, and therefore both the ruins of Wat Phra Si Sanphet and the more contemporary Wat Mongkhon Bophit can be visited the same morning or afternoon.
Elephant Camp; Interact with elephants, feed, ride and many more. From the giant elephants to the baby elephants but I just decided to take a photo with an elephant.
Ayothaya Floating Market; You can enjoy traditional historic Thai opera against ancient kingdom of Burma. There are plenty of shops and food stalls for visitors. You could take lunch here or also catch up with the opera.
Other Random Sights;
Roti Sai Mai (Thai Cotton Candy); Originated from Ayutthaya, Roti Sai Mai is a must try for first timer here. It is a sweet dessert which is typically sold by Muslim vendors here.
The thin silk strands are actually spun sugar and the strands are usually found in a rainbow of colors. The crepe is very thin and the color green is from the pandan leaf
Coconut Ice Cream; A different version of coconut ice cream on a stick.
Headed back to Bangkok by a minivan (100baht) which took approximately just 1 hour as they day is getting late and wanted to avoid wasting time. The minivan will drop you off at Victory Monument.

Beer Coaster: Samuel Adams
I picked this coaster up in the early 90's, probably at one of the Sam Adams pubs in an airport.
Nothing really great about this coaster but it does feature the old stoic Sam Adams instead of the newer mug-raising "party patriot" Sam Adams that graces the bottles now. I prefer the version pictured above.

Beer Hunting: The Midwest, June 2007
I used Beer Advocate's BeerFly to locate some good beer stores along the way and hoped for the best.
That night I ran out to Luka's a few miles away as fellow Beer Advocates had deemed it the best place for beer in Kansas City (at least on the side of town I was on). My plans of just picking up one six-pack were quickly dashed as I wandered the aisles of beer. They had make-your-own sixpacks, a rarity in Atlanta, so I was guaranteed to have to get one of those and they had a lot of Bell's beers which I had not laid hands on in nearly two years so I was going to have to get a sixer of one of their stouts. In the end I got a mixed six of various Bell's and O'Dell beers, a sixer of Bell's Java Stout and a bomber of O'Fallon Smoke (I'm a sucker for smoked beers). I could've bought a lot more but was already over my self-imposed limit. La Folie? I wandered the aisles, scanned the shelves but there was no sign of it. If this store didn't carry it, who would?
On our way home, we stopped by Taylor's Pantry in Sioux Falls, SD to see what was there. The answer was: Not much that you haven't gotten elsewhere on this trip. I did get a mixed sixer of beers from Big Sky, Schell's, Boulder and more Spanish Peaks.
We stopped in KC once more on the way home and I had to go to Luka's just one more time. This time I walked out with a case plus of beer. I got some more Bell's Java Stout, O'Dells Imperial Stout, Goose Island Demolition, Anchor Small Beer and a mixed sixer with Schafly, O'Dell and Flying Monkey.
Some very nice scores on this trip. Reports on the actual beer to follow.

The Session #5: Atmosphere
The Waterworks Pub in Rockland poured brews from the (now defunct) Rocky Bay Brewing Company including the wonderful Viking Plunder in the winter. Good brunch there too. Since Dave lived just north in Camden, this made a natural spot for the occasional pint. And the nearness to Rockland Harbor didn't hurt either.

Happy April!
April certainly came in hot and fast. Actually she came in pretty chilly, the last weekend of March & first few days of the new month were down in the 40's and highs in the 60's, but I CANNOT COMPLAIN!
I feel like the boho look was made for the transitioning seasons – lightweight pieces like kimonos over jeans or denim cutoffs, suede, lace, embroidered details, chambray and layered florals with booties and wide-brim hats. Spring Break here in March almost always means we can take a dip in the pool or get some sun, but sometimes, winter ignores Punxsutawney Phil and stays around for a bit longer, so knowing what to wear while the weather makes up it's mind between seasons can be a struggle, unless you can learn to embrace and enjoy both the western & boho inspiration.
I LOVED that Western Chic had a moment this past Fall of 2018. It felt like everyone was scrambling to create & find super chic western inspired boots and pieces to add to their wardrobe. Meanwhile, here in Texas, it's as simple as going to Yelp & finding out there's a boot store within 3.6 miles from your house. Although, you probably wont find Fendi western boots at a Cavender's…
Compiling pieces for a western inspired look is incredibly easy when you live in a place where most people who aren't from here ask if you ride a horse to school/work everyday (I've seriously been asked this question on multiple occasions), and as second-nature as "y'all" in conversation!
Key elements of a "Western" look :
- Jeans/denim/Chambray
- Western or western inspired boots (think pointed toe, buckles, studs!)
- Embroidery
- Florals
- Flowy cardigans & kimonos
- Lace detailing
- Off the Shoulder anything
- Suede
- Wide brim hats/Cowboy hat
- Handcrafted Jewelry (Hello Turquiose!)
Similarly enough, lots of these same elements can be used to describe a "boho" look, too! So if you have a bunch of items from the Houston Rodeo Season, or would like to try the western inspired look without looking too much like Annie Oakley, here are a couple of looks that are fresh, springy, incorporates pieces you probably already have in your closet, and can even be used for Festival Season!
White Jeans | Chambray Top | Western Boots
Seriously a thousand ways to wear this combo. First of all, white jeans just screams warmer weather & pairing it with chambray gives it that western/boho feel when paired with some western boots, a suede/felt wide brim hat. Pair with a belt of your choice – you can use a scarf instead of a leather belt, plus a tribal inspired necklace to truly give it a boho look. Or do as I did here and add a gold chain for subtle chicness.
Keep the hat, pair with a lacy off the shoulder blouse, leave the boots or replace with suede booties to take this up a Coachella notch.
Floral Top | Denim Skirt | Suede Western Booties
This top is flowy, and has an open back – two of my favorite things. I paired with a circle skirt instead of the traditional denim mini skirt, because I get A LOT more use out of this skirt than with the conventional mini skirt. Pair with suede western inspired booties and a pair of horse-shoe looking earrings.
Turn up the desert vibes with a pair of high waisted denim cut offs and western boots.
Floral Skirt | Chambray Top
A chambray shirt is an absolute staple in my closet. Sometimes I like to tie at the base of my blouse, so if I'm exposing a touch of skin, I like to button the blouse all the way to the top & add a statement necklace to bring a focal point towards my uber-ly covered chest.
Leave the skirt, pair with an off the shoulder crop top and lace up sandals to listen to your favorite music act.
Flowy Jumpsuit |Denim Jacket
Jean Jackets – they're a staple, they can be found in abundance and they've been pretty much timeless for the last 3-4 decades, so they're likely not going ANYWHERE, any time soon.
If you're ever in need of western inspo or boho inspired outfit – throw a jean jacket over a flowy piece, add some boho accessories like a long dangly necklace with a bunch of other short, dainty necklaces, a panama hat, add some booties and you're ready for a Bob Dylan concert.
Nix the jacket, add the hat and leave the booties or pair with some sandals for that boho feel.
Flowy, Maxi Dress
I think I found the inspiration for this post in this dress alone.
I felt like Stevie Nicks once I completed this outfit.
Honestly, this was one of my rodeo outfits this year. But as soon as I pulled on my pair of boots with this maxi, I felt like I was heading to Woodstock or even a modern day music festival like Coachella. HELLO BOHO.
The pattern of this maxi is absolutely perfect for a boho inspired outfit, but any flowy maxi with boots or booties really gives that ethereal exoticism we often see with boho chic.
The best part of living in Houston, is that you can pair almost anything with western boots and no one raises an eyebrow. And the best part of Festival Season is that you can wear the style and you come off as trendy! It doesn't look like boho will go anywhere for a while, so buy the boots!

The AAFP and the Council of Academic Family Medicine, or CAFM, are hailing the introduction of a bipartisan graduate medical education, or GME, bill that would establish a pilot project to test and support primary care training models in nonhospital settings.
H.R. 3667, which was introduced by Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and Mike Thompson, D-Calif., is known as the Primary Care Workforce Access Improvement Act of 2011. It establishes a pilot project that would allow a portion of GME payments to go directly to community-based primary care residency programs. Those programs then would collaborate with local hospitals to provide necessary training in inpatient care.
According to AAFP President Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I., of Spokane, Wash., Medicare GME funding currently is funneled solely through hospitals. But that model does not compensate for many of the costs of training in nonhospital settings, which is where most primary care services are provided and where primary care residents need to spend the bulk of their training time.
- The AAFP and other physician groups are applauding the introduction of a House bill that would establish a pilot project to test and support primary care training models in nonhospital settings.
- The bill would send funds for graduate medical education directly to the entities where medical students are being trained, including the community settings where most primary care physicians receive training.
"More than 90 percent of care delivered by primary care physicians is in the community, and the vast majority of patients get their care in community settings," said Stream, in a prepared statement. "So this is where much of the training for primary care doctors should occur."
Although the legislation was only introduced on Dec. 15, it already has picked up key support. The CAFM, which consists of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, or STFM; the Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors; the Association of Departments of Family Medicine; and the North American Primary Care Research Group, is supporting the bill, as are the National Rural Health Association and a medical education partnership representing Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho.
According to Stream, "funding for physician training directly influences the types of physicians we produce as a nation. The current system doesn't foster production of primary care physicians. That's why this legislation is so important to Americans' future access to the care they need."
STFM President Jeri Hepworth, Ph.D., agreed with Stream's statement, saying, "This pilot temporarily shifts funding to entities whose sole mission is the education and training of primary care physicians. That means the educational focus will be on prevention, care coordination, implementation of the patient-centered medical home and meeting the ongoing health care needs of families, as opposed to responding to acute episodes that require costly hospitalization."
The bill would establish a five-year pilot to test four models whose principal mission is the education and training of primary care physicians. The models identified for testing are
- a community entity working with two or more hospitals,
- two hospitals working together to develop a primary care program,
- a hospital subsidiary or independent corporation working with the community to further primary care, and
- a medical school or university collaborating with a hospital.
GME payments made directly to the medical education entity would be based on that entity's number of full-time equivalent residents, according to the bill.

Women are a powerful force in their local economies and communities. In fact,
In the United States alone, women-owned businesses employ 7.5 million workers, delivering an economic impact of more than $3 trillion. For perspective, if U.S.-based women-owned businesses were their own country, they would have the fifth-largest GDP in the world. This is a win for all of us, because women typically reinvest 90 percent of their income into family and community.
Recognizing the impact of empowered women,
In North America,
The Adelante Movement
Unleashing the entrepreneurial and economic potential of Latinas is at the heart of The Adelante Movement, which was founded by media personality, entrepreneur and female empowerment advocate Nely Galán. Since 2015, the Adelante program has offered skills training to more than 15,000 women on achieving economic independence. Adelante participants learn how to take their businesses to the next level through skills development on building capacity, networking opportunities and business-building resources.
As Candy Ramirez, a young mother juggling two jobs and college, decided to turn her love of baking into a career. She found inspiration and empowerment from The Adelante Movement.
"Adelante was a turning point for me," says Candy. "For the first time, I was around other women who had careers while also raising families. It showed me I could do that, too."
Learning how to market her business with training from Adelante helped Candy's Cakes & More take off. With digital tools, Candy's business gained greater recognition and received sponsorship from a major cake company. Celebrities and companies began requesting her cakes, and Candy has been asked to share her skills beyond her home state of Arizona, including in New York and Texas. The Adelante Movement inspired Candy to launch #QueenBeeBaker, a positive online mentoring movement to support and encourage other bakers.
Candy's story is one of many that highlight Adelante as a benefit to business and life.
The Adelante Movement is working to reach women before they enter the workforce through its college pilot program. Beginning this month through end of year, empowerment workshops and events are planned for aspiring women entrepreneurs at colleges in Arizona and Colorado.
Self Made, also launched by Galán, is a platform that harnesses the new revolution of entrepreneurship led by multicultural women. It provides inspiration, training, digital tools and access to resources to help all women become Self Made and live a rich life in every way.
In The Black and More
Empowering African-American women is the focus of In the Black and Impact Odyssey, two organizations launched by Odyssey Media. African-American women are starting businesses at a rate six times the national average, and these programs provide access to training, networking, and resources via live events and webinars, with the ultimate goal to lead participants toward economic prosperity.
In the Black targets women who are established entrepreneurs, while Impact Odyssey focuses on women entering their entrepreneurial journeys. Impact Odyssey offers curriculum such as "How to Open a Restaurant" and "Starting a Business as a Single Mom."
In addition,
Coca-Cola also proudly supports The National Coalition on Black Civic Participation (NCBCP)'s Black Women's Roundtable "Healthy, Wealthy, Wise" program and Girls Inc., among other women empowerment programs.

This kid has been cracking us up lately. Sure he has his tough moments, but most of the time he is doing something absolutely hysterical. These photos represent my current favorite two things that he does; wearing baskets on his head and doing most activities with his eyes closed. The basket thing started a few weeks ago, he went through a phase where everything went on his head and it slowly transformed into being mostly this basket. He puts his head all of the way in and then runs around the house throwing toys and giggling. When there isn't a basket on his head he is doing regular activities (giggling) with his eyes squeezed shut. Like walking, dancing on the couch, and eating. Last week we made some pies with friends and he sat and ate an entire bowl of peppernuts all with his eyes closed. He makes for great entertainment at parties.

Published at Tuesday, April 16th, 2019 - 14:25:49 PM. Worksheet. By Violetta Tran.
Select "Slide Size" (usually in the Design tab) and set a custom size to your page size. You can definitely set it to 8.5 x 11 or 11 x 8.5. My school's printer doesn't like to print all the way to the edge of the page, so I always set my size to 10.75 x 8.25 or 8.25 x 10.75. Add borders, You can find all sorts of cute borders on TpT and insert them following the clip art step below. I personally like to make my own borders by inserting a shape. I use the rectangle to make my outline. In the Format tab (this only appears if you click on the shape), I choose the white center and black border and then click on "Shape Outline" and "Weight" to make it thicker. I didn't even think to add this as a picture, but you can easily make your border centered on the page too! Just go to that Format tab and click where it says "Align." Click "Align Center" and "Align Middle" and it will be perfect!
Now is the time to add some clipart images to your worksheets to give them some personality. You can find tons of clipart on the Internet, but you have to be sure to check out each site's policies before just using any clipart. Perhaps your school already has a license with a clipart company that allows them to use clipart on school documents. Check with the school secretary to see if this is something you can use on your worksheets. Simple copy and paste the images onto your worksheet where you would like them to go. Take a look at the worksheet that you prepared on your computer screen. Make sure you have included everything that you want. Now take a look at the worksheet in a "print preview" window. This window shows you exactly what will print. You will want to do this to make sure that everything you put on the worksheet will print out okay. This is an especially important step, if you have adjusted margins in any way. Once you have previewed how it will print, you can either make some adjustments (reducing font size, reducing clipart size, etc.) or just go ahead and print out the worksheet.

I was just trawling around the internet when I cam e across these new shoes from Nike. They are called the 'Soaker'. And from what I can gather they are designed for boating and wet weather type of things. The deal is that the shoes drain away water through holes in their sole! Interesting. We are waiting to get some here in the office because I think they might be OK for mountainbiking, especially as they come with Nike's new sticky rubber compound sole.

With all the benefits of aerobic exercise being touted by fitness trainers and medical physicians alike, its hard for anyone to deny that there must be something to this form of exercise. Providing perks for the heart, muscles and even the mind, aerobics isn't a trend, its a necessity for good health. Finding the best aerobic exercise to meet a persons individual tastes, however, will need some matching skills.
This form of exercise involves the use of the major muscle groups, including the cardiovascular system. Getting the body up and moving around, the heart pumping and the lungs working over time, aerobic exercise can be a whole lot of things. While some people might think it can only be had in a class with music, tights and dancing, that's just not true. The best aerobic exercise is almost anything a person wants or needs it to be.
Lets look at some possible personal preferences and the best aerobic exercise suggestions to fit those needs:
Outdoors type, likes to go it alone, but doesn't mind company once in a while.
This type of person can find all kinds of workout routines that would fit the classification of being the best aerobic exercise. From cycling and running to swimming and fast walking, there are many options here.
A people person who enjoys doing things in a class setting.
Regular classes might provide the best aerobic exercise options for these type of people. From aerobics dance to step classes, there's no limit to what can be done to meet these needs.
Homebody or one that doesn't have a lot of time to spare.
The best aerobic exercise options for these type of people involve anything that can be done in a living room or office. From stair climbing and jumping rope to exercising to an aerobics video or using a cross-trainer, there are all kinds of possibilities to fit these needs and wishs.
Someone with physical limitations or a need to avoid high-impact exercise.
For these people the best exercise is often found in the water. Whether its straight swimming or an aquatic aerobics class, this option provides all the benefits of a hard aerobics workout without risk of too much wear and tear on the body.
Providing for benefits as far-reaching as improved heart conditioning, better oxygen use, increase endurance and even disease prevention, aerobics exercise is something to embrace rather than avoid. The variety of options out there that fit the bill make it possible for just about anyone to find the best aerobic exercise to meet their personal needs.

A new understanding of grieving
(This article by Leslie Ellis appeared in a recent issue of Insights into Clinical Counselling)
Although the classic stages of grieving delineated by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross over 40 years ago are well known and widely accepted, more current research shows that grieving does not follow such a tidy, linear formula but comes more in waves or in a spiral pattern unique to each person, and to the particular loss they are grieving. To heal from grief is now seen as less about letting go and moving on, and more about finding constructive ways to hold on to what was meaningful about the person or thing they have lost.read more

Flublok Seasonal Influenza (Flu) Vaccine
Questions & Answers
On January 16, 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced its approval of Flublok [185 KB, 16 pages]®, a trivalent (three-component) influenza vaccine made by Protein Sciences Corporation, for the prevention of seasonal influenza in people 18 years and older. On October 7, 2016, FDA announced its approval of Flublok® Quadrivalent [182 KB, 18 pages], a quadrivalent (four-component) formulation of the vaccine intended for use in people 18 years of age and older.
What is Flublok?
Flublok® is a trivalent influenza vaccine that has been FDA approved for use in adults 18 years and older.
How does this vaccine differ from the other approved flu vaccines?
Flublok is produced differently and has a slightly shorter shelf life than most influenza vaccines.
- Flublok does not use the influenza virus or chicken eggs in its manufacturing process. See How Influenza (Flu) Vaccines Are Made for more information.
- Flublok has a slightly shorter shelf life than most other currently available injectable influenza vaccines; it expires 9 months from the production date. Health care providers should check the expiration date before administering Flublok.
What are the possible benefits of Flublok vaccine?
Flublok's manufacturing process has the potential for faster startup of vaccine manufacturing, which can be useful in the event of a pandemic or vaccine supply shortage, mainly because it is not dependent on an egg supply or limited by the selection of vaccine viruses that are adapted for growth in eggs. Also, this vaccine is suitable for vaccinating people with egg allergies because it is not made using eggs.
Who can get Flublok vaccine?
Flublok is approved for use in people 18 years and older.
Who should not get Flublok vaccine?
People who are not within the FDA-approved age range (those younger than 18 years) and people with known severe allergic reactions to any component of the vaccine should not get Flublok.
Is this vaccine safe?
Clinical studies show that Flublok is safe and effective for use in people 18 years and older. Flublok meets FDA's standards for influenza vaccines.
Are there any side effects that could occur?
The most common side effects reported after receipt of FluBlok were similar to those reported for other flu shots and include pain at the injection site, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches.
For more information see the FluBlok package insert.
Special Consideration Regarding Egg Allergy
The recommendations for vaccination of people with egg allergies have not changed since last season (2016-2017).
People with egg allergies can receive any licensed, recommended age-appropriate influenza vaccine and no longer have to be monitored for 30 minutes after receiving the vaccine. People who have severe egg allergies should be vaccinated in a medical setting and be supervised by a health care provider who is able to recognize and manage severe allergic conditions.

Maybe because it's MY CAR???- Because you said the *German* one would be better- *snicker snicker*- BWAHAHAHAH ';-P

And then being quite hot here again I was walking around barefoot with jeans that sort of drag on the floor ( yeah- sucks being a short shit!) when I felt this sudden BURN, needle pricking pain just below my knee- so I swipe at my jeans on the outside thinking I've got a thorn or something stuck in there- and BAM, another hit of pain- HOLEY COW- it feels like someone is burning me now with a match! So I try pulling the pant leg UP to see what the hell is going on and BAM BAM twice more- that wasn't so clever! lol -
Can you say jump and remove jeans in two seconds flat! – BWWWWAHAHAHAHA. I must have looked like a drunk doing a rain dance! OMG- it hit me another 3 times before I managed to get my freaking jeans off – and out flies a WASP!!! WASP! How the hell did I get a wasp in my pants???- lol ( Don't answer that Bunny- hee hee)
My knee swelled up something gorgeous last night! And I felt quite spacey from all the anti histamines I popped to get rid of the red rings arising all over. Wayne panicked a bit- but I think it was only because I sounded so, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm- slurry! lol
I now have 7 red welts around my knee today and they are a little tender to the touch- but besides that I'm fine. Just a little worried about walking around with my jeans dragging on the floor now- BWHAHAHAH.

For some reason, I thought "Never give up, never surrender" came from some epic Mel Gibson historical flick.
Nope, it's from the movie Galaxy Quest starring Tim Allen post-Home Improvement.
So after a few months' writing hiatus, I've come to the startling conclusion that I'm too busy for my own good and it sucks.
While I could sit here and blame "being an adult" and having a "grown-up job" as reasons for why I've neglected my passion for more than half of my lifetime, that's not really the case at all. I've just become a slacker of a writer and I'm sorry.
I've successfully convinced myself that I'm too busy to do anything other than to get up in the morning, go to work, eat food and sleep. To be honest, there are 24 hours in a day and I really only sleep for about six of those hours so it's time for me to suck it up and what better time to do it than at the start of a new season.
This is about the time people around me get tired of my ridiculous Patriots predictions and reminiscing about that one underdog that the Pats should've kept (Ross Ventrone, you're still my boy). I'm pumped and ready to get back into my football season groove.
To be honest, there is nothing that compares to interacting with everyone on Twitter during Patriots games. From the general complaints of announcers' inability to pronounce players' names (The Hoo man? Really? You're not even trying anymore) to shared nervousness when the lead depends on the leg of Stephen Gostkowski, it's a pretty awesome way to watch the game.
If you're not following me already, do it here.
So here's to my fantasty football team Horton Hears a Hoomanawanui kicking butt and the Patriots winning another Super Bowl.

Investigating emerging data analytics trends across Asia with Arun Sundar
29 Nov 2016, Cloud World Series: Cloud & Enterprise Tech Series
2016 DATA Analytics White Paper
An ACCA White Paper on Supply and Demand for Big Data Analytics in Asia Pacific
'Data Analytics to Bridge Knowledge Gaps: An ACCA White Paper on Supply and
Singapore, 14 October 2016: Published today by the Asia Cloud Computing Association (ACCA) 'Data Analytics to Bridge Knowledge Gaps: An ACCA White Paper on Supply and Demand for Big Data Analytics in Asia Pacific' reveals gaps in the current services offered by data analytics professionals and the actual data analytics requirements of companies looking to engage them. These sentiments were shared with the ACCA via a multi-phased survey carried out across the region amongst companies and data analytics service providers.
ACCA white paper reveals gaps in demand for data analytic and current
The white paper makes a number of key observations from the findings, including proposals on how to plug the gaps. They include:
There is a supply/demand mismatch in the perception of barriers to analytics adoption: On the demand side, analytics users see the cost of procuring analytics services as the greatest barrier; on the supply side, analytics providers believe that the greatest barrier is the prospective users' lack of awareness on how to execute analytics services and the lack of skilled analytics employees. Providers can help to address both barriers to adoption; better communication of the value of their analytics services through use cases will help CFOs justify the spend and therefore spur on company investments into analytics services. Those who play the dual role of assisting customers in identifying and procuring the right data through training and consultation, alongside analytics services provision, will be best placed to grow their customer base.
Providers that can offer greater customisation in analytics services will be in a better position to capture more market share among analytics users: Current and prospective users of analytics demand greater customisation of analytics services and interfaces for their needs. With the exception of e-commerce, companies in most industries find it difficult to leverage analytics for effective customer targeting and predictive analyses that feed into marketing and the development of new products and services. Therefore, industries outside of e-commerce demand greater customisation of analytics services to meet their specific needs.
Analytics insight is key to staying competitive: 62% of companies surveyed use data analytics. However, less than half of the companies use analytics for finance related decisions – and only one in 20 companies use analytics for human resource decisions. This indicates that, while analytics is mainstreaming, there is great potential for analytics to improve decision making in many areas. Companies that change their thinking, act on analytical insights and become data driven businesses will remain competitive. Access to data is not enough; senior management must use analytics to drive their decision making and become part of the story of their company.
Commenting on the white paper, Mr. Arun Sundar, Chairman of the ACCA Emerging Cloud Services Working Group, and Chief Strategy Officer, TrustSphere said, "The impact that efficient use of data analytics could create to APAC businesses is profound and imminent. However, to drive greater adoption and value, the entire eco-system needs to play their part. These include analytics providers helping customers understand the various data sources, potential skill gaps, providing training and services aside to developing customised value propositions. The role of Governments and trade bodies is critical at this juncture to bring the demand and supply side in alignment with industry best practices and frameworks. This will help to allay concerns about issues such as privacy and cross-border data transfer policies which will encourage business leaders in APAC to leverage analytics for improved business outcomes for both enterprises and consumers alike."
Access to training, simpler solutions and customised data analytics
'Data Analytics to Bridge Knowledge Gaps: An ACCA White Paper on Supply and Demand for Big Data Analytics in Asia Pacific' also offers some recommendations on how to unlock the potential of data analytics on cloud to four stakeholders: analytics providers, regulators and public sector organisations, innovators, and ecosystem players. They include a call for more transparent public education on the use of data insights, which would help citizens make informed decisions on how data collected from their daily lives are used for analytics by third parties; a need for continuous innovation in the use of data analytics across all industries; and greater encouragement of cross-pollination of analytics and data services with existing products and services to produce a better and more tailored user experience.
25 companies across Asia-Pacific were interviewed and surveyed for the research. The majority (67%) of the analytics providers in the study have a global remit and operate across the globe. The analytics users surveyed are companies from Asia-Pacific that operate in one (46%) or more (54%) markets in the region.

Three Questions for Mario Vuksan
Mario Vuksan is a co-founder of Reversing Labs and coordinates the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization's Advisory Board; I'm a member of that board. With co-founder Tomislav Pericin he presented a new tool for virus disinfection at the Black Hat conference this morning. I caught up with him for a few questions afterward.
Rubenking: In five years, what do you think you'll be fighting? What threats will you be finding a new defense against, or even attacking?
Vuksan: The more tools we've defined for actually fighting infections, will actually be the the tools the ones writing the infections will be leveraging, one way or another. It's always a chess game. They'll definitely be watching closely any innovations in the industry they can re-use, and they will raise the stakes by bringing new complexity to infection steps.
We'll definitely be seeing more virtualization detection in the attacks. And we'll definitely be seeing more sophisticated attacks that will be using the crowd-source or community-source model. The same sort of way we consolidate our knowledge to pool our power, you're going to see on the other side, providing the cheap infection components so that anybody who's willing to set up a botnet can do it.
Rubenking: No matter what you do to protect the user, if the virus says "give me all your money" and he does it, he's not protected. Do you see any possibility of a psychological component in security? Protecting people, not just their machines?
Vuksan: This framework is really targeting helping people get the machine into a better state. There's a huge gap there when people are continuously infected and refuse to be disinfected. They're a conduit for denial of service attacks, spam, a whole bunch of other things. Let's help get them disinfected before we start to educate.
Rubenking: You'll do your best to make them safe, even though they're doing stupid things?
Vuksan: Right, right.
Rubenking: One more. Do you have any embarrassing stories about being hacked yourself?
Vuksan: Yes, I was very lucky that I got Awfull [a sample used in the presentation] in a PDF sent to me by my kid's school. It had no body, it just said "here's your bill." All of a sudden I got the command line prompt, it was trying to get Adobe going, and it crashed. We spent four hours trying to analyze the infection, and then found it was broken. I was lucky; a lot of people aren't so lucky.
Rubenking: Thanks, Mario!
