Capacity Building on UNESCO's OER platform under the Kenya ICT Competency Framework for Teachers
UNESCO and Teachers' Service Commission (TSC) proceeded with a face-to-face training on knowledge deepening in ICTs for teachers in Nairobi, Kenya on 10 and 11 February 2015 to be followed by a 12-week online course.
The integration and application of ICT in education is a high priority in Kenya and UNESCO is assisting the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the Teacher Service Commission and the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development in the development of Open Education Resource materials in ICT integration in education. Fifty master trainers drawn from all the 47 counties, including two special needs teachers, attended the two-day face-to-face training in Nairobi.
With the integration of ICT in education, the roles of teachers definitely take a different turn. Instead of being the knowledge transmitters, they automatically become the facilitators of learning processes. Therefore this capacity building equipped the master trainers with various skills and competencies on how to train other teachers and holistically understand the concept of ICT integration. Ms Janet Mayora of Mwijabu Primary school, Mombasa County stated, "With the advent of ICT integration in education, most school operations are bound to change; there's going to be a shift from the traditional way of teaching to the modern way. Learning will shift from the long boring lectures to student centered approach. Online learning and web-based courses will grow to enable students to directly access information sources on their own."
The training also focused on teachers with special needs. Mr Collins Odanga, a visually impaired teacher at Tambach Teachers' College, Uasin Gishu County, stated, "The ICT integration for learners with disabilities is extremely important avenue to manage disability related challenges. Some types of disabilities pose a big challenge when using the orthodox chalk-talk approach. For instance, for a visually impaired person or one with physical challenge it might be almost impossible to write on a chalkboard. Therefore, the use of computer and a projector is a good solution for this challenge. In addition, the voice programmes, such as jaws for windows, thunder, NVDA and many others will transform the digital life of visually impaired persons and enable them to use the computer just like everybody else. The acquisition of ICT skills will definitely improve the employability level of people with disabilities."
At the end of the workshop, participants expressed their satisfaction about understanding how the KICT CFT fits into the larger picture of Kenyan educators' professional development. They also appreciated a better understanding of Open Education Resources and UNESCO's ICT CFT, as well as their potential use. Mr Bonga Jobunga from Asumbi Teachers' Training College, Homabay County stated, "The introduction of new learning platforms will help teachers and learners meet various teaching, learning and communication objectives. The introduction of ICT will help improve communication with parents. This is considered to be important in reducing the home-school divide. For enhanced teacher delivery and improved learner participation, parents play a critical role. Enhancing communication with them will, therefore, result in an increased curriculum delivery."
This activity falls within UNESCO's mandate to assisting educational planners and teacher training course developers to prepare teachers for making effective use of technology solutions. This activity is a direct follow-up to the 2012 World Congress on Open Educational Resources which released the Paris Declaration on OERs calling on governments to openly license all educational materials produced with public funds. Supported by a generous grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation (USA), UNESCO is working with the Governments of Kenya, Oman, Bahrain and Indonesia to implement dynamic and relevant policies to guide and recognize teachers and learners to find, adapt, use, develop and share Open Educational Resources.

Teeth Whitening for Wedding Day
Get perfect teeth for your wedding day with whitening and other cosmetic dentistry services from Dental Associates!
Every bride wants to look picture perfect for their wedding day. From their hair, makeup and dress, every detail is important for achieving this goal... including having a picture perfect smile! Whether you want to whiten your teeth or address larger dental issues, Dental Associates can help you achieve that perfect smile for your wedding day.
Just like booking your venue in advance of your wedding date, we recommend you schedule a dental exam as early as possible to determine any treatment you may need before your big day. It's important to schedule an exam in advance to plan for the costs of dental treatment without affecting your wedding budget and to assure you have enough time to get your dental needs met to achieve that dazzling wedding day smile.
Dental Associates offers the following cosmetic dental procedures for the bride-to-be to improve her smile:
Teeth Whitening
To get that sparkling photo-ready smile for your wedding day, teeth whitening is a quick and easy option to brighten teeth that are discolored or stained. At Dental Associates we offer in-clinic chairside whitening or take-home whitening kits. Both during teeth whitening treatment and after you've completed whitening, you will want to avoid dark foods and drinks, such as tea and coffee, as they can re-stain your teeth.
For the brides who have planned their big day well in advance, we offer traditional braces or Invisalign clear braces to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth. While both of these options will give you the smile you dreamed of for your wedding day, an advantage of Invisalign is that it uses a series of clear removable aligners so you won't need to worry about seeing metal braces on your teeth during your pre-wedding festivities.
Composite Restorations
If you need a filling to restore your beautiful smile, tooth-colored restorations, also known as composite restorations, are available to give you a natural smile. Composite restorations come in several shades to match the color of your teeth and are used to restore small to moderate defects in the teeth caused by cavities, tooth fractures, or developmental defects.
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, veneers may be a solution for you to achieve that photo-ready smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made sheets of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surfaces of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the tooth thereby changing their shape, size or length. Veneers can be made from porcelain or composite material.
Whatever your dental needs may be for your big day, Dental Associates is here to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile for your wedding day.

Definition and cause
The basic underlying cause for allergic dermatitis in dogs and cats is an exaggerated immune response to allergens such as pollen, dander, molds, dust mites and other environmental allergens and chemicals. The basic exaggerated immune response is believed to involve T-and B-lymphocytes, the production of IgE, and the stimulation of mast cells and eosinophils, causing the local, cutaneous reaction.
The result is that sensitized animals react in receptor sites in the skin, leading to pruritus and secondary issues. There is also an inherited component; many popular breeds such as Golden Retrievers, Irish Setters, and Old English Sheepdogs are more prone to the condition.
Medical therapy rationale, drug(s) of choice, and nutritional recommendations
The central focus of standard therapy is to identify and eliminate the causative agent in combination with antihis-tamines and oral and topical immune-suppressing drugs such as corticosteroids and cyclosporine. In addition, allergen desensitizing (immunotherapy) injections are favored by some dermatologists. Dietary recommendations include hypoallergenic diets in combination with omega-3-rich sources of fatty acids.
Anticipated prognosis
Most animals with allergic dermatitis respond well to topical and oral therapy in combination with avoidance of exposure to allergens. Allergic dermatitis is a progressive condition and most often requires ongoing medical therapy to control the allergic response.
Integrative veterinary therapies
Pollutants, preservatives, food additives, and a host of compounds can lead to tissue injury and activate the immune response. The mucosa is the primary barrier and location of many immune elements, and anything that injures the mucosal integrity can lead to immune dysfunction.
Once allergens gain access to these tissues, they can be removed and processed by macrophages in a wide variety of locations (especially the gut, liver, spleen, and lung). In cases in which the damage is rapidly repaired, there is a reduced likelihood of chronic allergies developing, but if a chronic defect in mucosal integrity occurs, then allergies can develop more easily. Genetic predisposition is a factor in this situation.
The liver is responsible for processing much of the material that originates from mucosal borders. The hepatic macrophage system of Kupfer cells is very efficient in removing and processing antigens. The liver can metabolize, conjugate, and excrete many homotoxins, and support of liver function and excretion is a critical portion of any allergic therapy.
Macrophages present the antigen components to lymphocytes and these dictate the development of immune response through the action of T-lymphocytes (TH-0, TH-1, and TH-2 cells). Alteration of the T-helper cell can determine the type of immune response by the organism. Homotoxins that are not removed by first passage through the liver can also be excreted by the kidney, skin, and lung. Homotoxins that have been eliminated by the liver but reabsorbed through the enterohepatic circulation also enter the system at this level.
Support of mucosal tissues is critical, and therefore one of the first areas requiring attention in allergic patients is the intestinal tract. The patient should be fed an easily digested ration which ideally lacks excessive amounts of allergens. This allows for improved intestinal function and reduces homotoxins presented to the liver. It also allows for improved mucosal integrity. In managing airborne allergens, it is advisable to reduce the level of homotoxins such as pollens, scented products and incenses, and toxic agents such as ozone and pollutants, which might damage mucosal integrity.
Adequate water consumption is also important in maintaining proper immune function and repairing damaged tissue. Probiotics may greatly assist in protecting the mucosal border and local immune system and are useful in most immune imbalance cases. Antioxidant agents such as vitamins and minerals, as well as other nutraceuticals, herbals, and whole foods, provide needed protection from oxidative damage and assist in repairing tissues.
Support of liver function assists greatly in handling allergic cases and in many clinical situations support of the enterohepatic system is the first action in preparing a case.
Providing attention to the renal system further assists detoxification, and is especially necessary in cases that are undergoing regressive vicariation from the Impregnation Phase to the Deposition and Inflammation phases. Providing adequate levels of fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids, assists in repairing cell membranes and in decreasing levels of tissue inflammation.
Unnecessary or redundant vaccinations should be avoided in all patients, but this is particularly true in allergic pets. Risk for vaccination reaction is higher in atopic pets. In 1983, a study showed that allergies (such as atopic dermatitis) develop in dogs when vaccinated for distemper, hepatitis, and leptospirosis just prior to, but not after, exposure to pollen extracts. Dogs predisposed to atopy produce excess amounts of IgE antibodies in response to antigens, resulting in chronically irritating skin inflammations. Other organs may exhibit signs of hypersensitivity causing, for example, conjunctivitis or rhinitis, as exhibited in further studies by this group. A recent study demonstrated no increase in the rate of atopy in children receiving vaccinations. Good medical practice dictates caution in the use of any agent in patients that are known to be prone to allergic reactions.
Note: See Homotoxicology for the "4 Rs" approach to an allergic patient.
General considerations / rationale
While the target tissue is often the skin or intestinal tract, allergies are metabolically a systemic disease. They often involve multiple organs, particularly the liver, which shares the same detoxification enzyme systems. In addition, the elimination of toxins, allergens, and metabolic wastes often burdens the organs of detoxification, namely the bowel, kidney, lung, and skin. The use of immune-suppressing drugs such as cortisone, while often necessary because of self-trauma, actually exacerbate the condition by slowing elimination and covering up the inflammation. Because allergies are metabolically a multi-organ disease, a physiological evaluation of the blood is recommended to more closely address nutritional deficiencies and required gland support (see site, Nutritional Blood Testing, for additional information).
Appropriate nutrients
Nutritional / gland therapy: Glandular intestines, kidney, adrenal, thymus, liver, and pituitary supply intrinsic nutrients that improve organ function, reduce cellular inflammation, and promote and enhance detoxification (see Gland Therapy, site, for a more detailed explanation).
Probiotics: Administration of the proper combination of probiotics has been reported to have a positive impact on the intestines and the digestive process. Probiotics have been shown to improve and enhance the digestive process by secreting their own source of enzymes.
Sterols: Plant-derived sterols such as betasitosterol show antiinflammatory properties, which appear to be similar to corticosteriods. A cortisone-like effect without the associated immune-suppressing effects is beneficial in all allergic reactions. Bouic (1996) reports on the immune-enhancing and balancing effect of plant sterols, which are also beneficial to animals with allergic reactions or responses.
Evening primrose oil (EPO): Evening primrose oil has been proven to have both antiinflammatory and antipruritic effects. As part of a balanced nutritional program, evening primrose oil can exert a positive effect on animals with skin disease. Studies suggest that evening primrose oil is beneficial in people with atopic dermatitis and eczema.
Quercetin: Quercetin is a flavonoid and has potent antioxidant properties (see site, Phytonutrients). Quercetin also functions similar to an antihistamine in that it can inhibit cells from releasing histamines. This antihistamine attribute helps treat allergic conditions such as asthma, dermatitis, and eczema.
Chinese herbal medicine
General considerations / rationale
Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine consider allergic dermatitis to be a combination of Wind, Heat, and Damp. Allergy generally is considered to be an immune disorder. Heat refers to the inflammation, which tends to be red and may be warm to the touch. Dampness describes the greasy nature of some allergic dermatitis patients. It can also apply to skin with serous discharge, i.e., "weepy" sores or purulent debris in pustules. Wind translates into itching, in modern terms.
Appropriate Chinese herbs and acupuncture
Angelica (Bai zhi): Has been shown to have antiinflammatory and antipruritic effects in mice.
Atractylodes (Cang zhu): Has activity against Staphy-lococcus aureus and dermatophytes.
Bupleurum (Chai hu): Decreases the effect of histamine release and has antibiotic effects against streptococci.
Cicada slough (Chan tui): Has been used successfully in humans to treat chronic urticaria.
Licorice (Gan cao): Inhibits the growth of Staphylococ-cus aureus. It contains glycyrrhi-zine and glycyrrhentinic acid, which have corticosteroid activity.
Lonicera flower (Jin yin hua): Has antibiotic effects against Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and is antiinflammatory.
Mint (Bo he): Relieves itching and has antiinflammatory effects.
Moutan (Mu dan pi): Demonstrates antiinflammatory actions via inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis and decreases vascular permeability. It inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, streptococci, and dermatophytes.
Platycodon (Jie geng): Decreases allergic reactions.
Poria (Fu ling): Has inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus.
Rehmannia (Sheng di huang): Has shown antiinflammatory activity in mice.
Siegesbeckia (Xi xian cao): Inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (Phytochemistry).
White peony (Bai shao): Contains paeoniflorin, which is a strong antiinflammatory. It also has antibiotic effects against Staphylococcus aureus, some streptococci, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and some dermatophytes.
Acupuncture has been used to treat skin allergies. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, it is possible to stimulate the pet's immune system and reduce the itching and inflammation associated with allergic dermatitis.
The authors have used GV14, SP9, and SP10 to control inflammation (Clear Heat in traditional Chinese medicine terms). LI11 can be used to stop itching and HT7 can be used to calm the animal so it does not lick or scratch and irritate the skin further.
Local points can be used. These include LI4 for the front legs, GB34 for the back legs, and GB20 for the neck.
General considerations / rationale
The basic biophysiology of allergies is well described. Allergic reactions represent Impregnation Phase homo-toxicoses as IgE binds to mast cells and alters the response of the connective tissue to allergens. Numerous homotoxins are released as part of the allergic response; histamine is a major homotoxin that requires detoxification and elimination. Excessive amounts of histamine lead to tissue injury and progressive vicariation.
Understanding the elimination pathways for homotoxins is critical to properly handling allergic cases. Biological therapy for allergies involves decreasing the levels of homotoxins, improving detoxification pathways, increasing elimination of homotoxins, and supporting repair of injured tissues and organs.
4 Rs: This system for approaching allergic cases consists of:
Remove: Remove toxic materials, antigenic substances, pathogens, disease-causing stressors, and other factors that favor pathology. This allows for a cessation or reduction in tissue injury, and calming of the overtaxed immune response. Healing occurs best in a safe environment at a microscopic and macroscopic level. Avoidance of unnecessary vaccinations and unnecessary symptom-suppressive medicants, and use of limited-antigen and more natural diets, air filters, hygiene, endoparasite control, ectoparasite control, as well as an altered environment, are all examples of this step. In some cases, all that is needed for recovery is removal of the antigenic stimulation (flea allergy, mild pollen or food allergy). This is an important first step in handling all allergy patients. Detoxification therapy is useful in this step and it has been frequently observed that allergic pets do better clinically if they are given routine detoxification therapy at regular intervals (at least twice yearly). In mild cases, the easiest form of detoxification is the Detox Kit. In deeper homotoxicoses, the deep detoxification formula is recommended.
Repopulate / Revive: Provide adequate probiotic bacteria to repopulate a proper intestinal and mucosal flora, and revive function of chief excretory organs such as the liver and intestine. Probiotic bacteria also provide a means of reactivating damaged enzyme systems from earlier disease elements such as bacterial or fungal toxins and pharmaceutical agents such as cortisone, NSAIDs, and antibiotics.
Rebalance / Repair: Assist the natural bio-oscillation of inflammation and pH fluctuations, eliminate diseased tissue elements, clear the matrix of debris, promote collagen repair and replacement and provide improved circulation of hemic-lymphatic components, and provide adequate raw materials for enzyme production and tissue repair.
Reorganize: Cycles of repair continually improve the status of the diseased tissue and its relationship to the body as a whole. Hering's Law of Cure manifests at this level as we see the body repair from inside to outside, from most important organ to least important organ, from the head down and in reverse order of present pathologic history. This is a useful tool for the clinician in determining whether a patient is undergoing regressive vicariation (in which case the clinician would simply continue therapy), or undergoing less desirable progressive vicariation (in which case the clinician would need to intervene and address the patient's worsening condition).
In patients that are already on symptom-suppressing drugs such as corticosteroids, antihistamines, antibiotics, or cyclosporin, it is advisable to begin therapy gently and not to stop these medications initially. After the system has been sufficiently strengthened, the dosages can be gradually reduced until many patients no longer require as much medication to manage their cases. In some instances they may no longer need symptom-suppressing medications to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Not all allergic patients can be cured, but it is a worthwhile goal to simply improve their quality of life and when possible reduce their dependency on pharmaceutical agents.
Allergic patients can be greatly assisted by proper use of biological therapies and many make surprising recoveries if they are allowed to go through regressive vicariation and are not subjected to further suppression of their body's natural healing responses. Homeopathy has been used for many years to treat allergies in human and veterinary patients. Clinicians should advise clients that this process might take from 1 to 3 years, and ascertain if the clients are dedicated to the process before embarking on such a program. It may be more expedient for some clients to simply suppress symptoms, but for those who desire maximizing the health of their pet, it is very rewarding and challenging work. Biological therapy options should be discussed with clients as part of the informed consent procedure as an option to administering potentially damaging pharmaceutical agents.
Appropriate homotoxicology formulas
A large number of antihomotoxic formulas may be needed to manage a case of allergic skin disease. Autosanguis therapy can be particularly useful. (Also see sections on Otitis externa and Otitis media; vomiting and diarrhea; coughing; and seborrhea, throughout this chapter). Careful attention to phase and phase shifting is needed to guide remedy selection. A list of commonly used agents follows:
Aesculus homaccord: Promotes improved circulation and lymph drainage.
Apis homaccord: Used for urticarial reactions (especially when combined with Lymphomyosot). Also used for pruritic dermatitis, pustular dermatitis, and bullous eczema.
Belladonna homaccord: Treats intensely red lesions, furunculosis, boils; the skin is dry, red, and hot; patients resent being touched. The ears may itch intensely, to the point that the pet drills things into the ears or rubs excessively. There is excessive head shaking.
Berberis homaccord: Part of Heel's Detox Kit used for adrenal support and detoxification of the renal system and liver, in cases with pigmentation of the axillary area.
BHI-Allergy: Used for skin rashes and hives, and respiratory and ocular allergy symptoms. In the authors' experience, this remedy is usually not sufficient to use as a single agent, except in mild, acute cases, and works best when combined with other remedies in management of allergy symptoms. Contains Sulphur 12X, which is useful in a wide variety of skin conditions and chronic illnesses.
BHI-Inflammation: Used for pyoderma, itching, inflammation, and atopy (especially when there is a tendency toward pyoderma with multiple small lesions). Can be used like an antihistamine in these cases, before other drugs are tried. Response can be seen within 1 week. Provides long-term control of itching in some patients as a simple nontoxic strategy.
BHI-Skin: Used for "eczema, blisters and cold sores, rashes and hives".
Coenzyme compositum: Provides metabolic support.
Cutis compositum: A wide-reaching formula that stimulates nonspecific defenses in a variety of cutaneous conditions. Can be used in any phase homotoxicosis; opens skin to drainage and repair. Supports regeneration and repair of organs involved in skin health. Contains Cutis suis, Hepar suis, Splen suis, Placenta suis, Glandula supra-renalis suis, and Funiculus ubilicalis suis. Also contains Sulfur to repair blocked enzyme systems and Cortisonum aceticum to repair damage from prior corticosteroid exposure. The ingredient Aesculus hipposcastanum supports circulation and drainage.
Detox Kit: A combination of Lymphomyosot for lymph drainage, Nux vomica homaccord to support the gastro-hepatic system, and Berberis homaccord for adrenal, renal, and hepatic support that is used as a method of general detoxification.
Echinacea compositum: Used to control bacteria infections and for immune normalization.
Engystol N: Supports immunity. Through Sulphur, acts as a catalyst in chronic diseases. Useful in viral infections and allergic disorders.
Galium-Heel: This remedy is indicated in most allergic cases. It is a phase remedy for Deposition to Dedifferen-tiation phases. It has diuretic effects due to Galium aparine, Sempervivum tectorum, Ononis spinosa, Junipe-rus communis, Betula alba, Saponaria officinali, and Acidum nitricum, and detoxifying effects due to Galium mullugo. It supports parenchyma (lung, liver, kidney, and heart) through Phosphorus. Galium-Heel is used for edema and to create drainage through connective tissue. It also is used for itching (Apis mellifica), infectious Inflammatory phases (Pyrogenium-Nosode,), and eczema and dermatosis (Urtica urens). Finally, it is also a cellular drainage and repair agent.
Graphites homaccord: Used in obese patients with alopecia, oozing purple-colored lesions, and erosions that develop into suppurative sores.
Hepar compositum: Provides drainage and repair of the liver, support of metabolism, and reversal of prior corticosteroid therapeutic damage. It is critical as a first line of defense in skin repair, because it bears the brunt of detoxification.
Hepeel: Provides liver detoxification.
Histamin-Injeel: A homeopathically prepared histamine that assists in reversal of damages from histamine excess in allergic patients. When combined with BHI-Allergy vials it may produce a more potent Histaminum homaccord.
Lymphomyosot: Provides lymph drainage and support, as well as support of the thyroid function.
Mucosa compositum: Supports mucous membranes throughout the body. Used intermittently during repair stages.
Nux vomica homaccord: Provides detoxification of the liver and gastrointestinal tract; is part of the Detox Kit.
Psorinoheel: An exudation and cellular phase remedy that is used for itching, precancerous conditions, chronic skin conditions, acne, seborrhea, eczema, and pruritus.
Pusatilla compositum: Reverses the effects of prior cortisone therapy and regulates rigidity cases to move them toward inflammation and regressive vicariation.
Reneel: Provides kidney and urinary tract detoxification.
Schwef-Heel: Contains a homaccord of Sulphur, which is widely used in homeopathic practice. It is used for dermatosis with eczema, pyoderma, and red skin. It has great affinity for skin and adnexal tissues, and is known for working from the inside out on dirty and filthy animals prone to skin infections. Helps with redness and itching made worse by heat and red body orifices, and often is useful in concomitant use with other remedies in opening cases.
Solidago compositum: Provides renal support and is a phase remedy for Deposition Phase disorders.
Sulfur Heel: Used for eczema, pruritus, neuralgia with sensitivity to cold air (Daphne mezereum), urticaria with burning and itching skin (Arsenicum album), and irritating eczema (wood tar). It is also useful in scabies dermatitis.
Thyroidea compositum: Provides endocrine support and deep matrix cleansing. It is a phase remedy in Impregnation Phase disorders.
Traumeel S: Provides nonsteroidal antiinflammatory action, activates and regulates normal inflammatory responses, and unblocks enzyme systems.
Ubichinon compositum: Provides metabolic support.
Authors' suggested protocols
Skin and immune support formulas: 1 tablet for every 25 pounds of body weight BID.
Intestinal and / or liver support formulas: One-half tablet for every 25 pounds of body weight BID. When required, kidney and pituitary support can be added.

KPMG split an "overreaction": PwC Legal
PRICEWATERHOUSE-COOPERS has condemned the move of multidisciplinary rival KPMG to cease providing legal services as "an overreaction" to audit-independence concerns.Australia's first
PRICEWATERHOUSE-COOPERS has condemned the move of multidisciplinary rival KPMG to cease providing legal services as "an overreaction" to audit-independence concerns.
Australia's first MDP law firm, KPMG Legal, last week announced it would stop trading under the banner of the Big Four Accountant pursuant to a directive from global partners.
KLegal, the multi-jurisdictional network that houses all of KPMG's in-house law firms, will be disbanded, with members now examining the merits of establishing an alliance completely separate from the accounting firm.
"The announcement reflects changed market conditions, including the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which restrict the provision of non-audit services to audit clients, particulary legal services," a worldwide statement read.
Once the decision became public, speculation immediately focused on the intentions of other Big Four operators: PwC, Ernst & Young and Deloitte — all of whom maintain legal branches.
While the latter two failed to respond to Lawyers Weekly enquiries, PwC tax and legal chief Paul Koenig was quick to hose down predictions of a domino effect at his end.
Confirming that PwC Legal would not follow KPMG's lead, Koenig suggested that his rival had perhaps jumped the gun.
"Completely separating legal services is an overreaction, we think, and there's no intention to do that here," Koenig said. "It's not in our best interests and we don't feel we need to make that change."
Koenig revealed that a meeting of all PwC's Australian-based tax and legal partners, held earlier this month, had considered the ongoing ramifications of Sarbanes-Oxley and reached a "broad consensus" that structural change was not necessary.
Asked to explain why PwC was confident of negotiating the generic independence concerns that prompted KPMG's actions, Koenig said his firm was more self-sufficient and did not necessarily rely on referrals from other practices to survive.
"Clearly SEC rules and independence concerns impact on everyone in some way, but here in Australia there is no need to put any greater distance between [lawyers and PwC generally] than already exists."
"We are a much more substantial law firm, with 300 staff, and have a very substantial existing client base."
Australian lawyers at KPMG confessed they expected the split to eventually take place, but were caught off-guard by the expediency with which global directors acted to sever the legal arm.
Ever since 2002's disintegration of accounting giant Andsersen, which felt the brunt of Enron's spectacular collapse, KPMG Legal staunchly maintained remedial conflict provisions formulated in the US would not impact upon Australian MDP interests.
"The timing was a bit out of the blue," said head partner Jeff Goss. "We originally thought this scenario would come up within the next calendar year. You could say [the decision] leapt up on us.
"We anticipated that certain national practices could maintain close ties and but that option has now been taken away."
As part of the split, KPMG Legal will undergo a name change and formal separation is expected to be achieved by the end of the year. Goss said a "best friends" arrangement would be established with audit, tax and accounting arms of the wider firm.
No freeze would be placed on hires, he added, during the process.
"If we get the model right, we're seeing this as a significant opportunity for growth," Goss said.
Echoing Goss's sentiments were remarks from a number of sources with KPMG legal, many of whom said they were "relieved" by the news.
One lawyer described the split as a "breath of fresh air", adding that Sarbanes Oxley provisions meant time consuming conflict searches had become an odious fact of life at the firm. As a result, it had been difficult for KPMG Legal to attract the best talent.
Another insider said KPMG Legal had been disappointed at partner growth in recent times, with the legal arm accommodating fewer senior lawyers than anticipated.
Commenting on the difficulties inherent in Sarbanes-Oxley, Goss concluded: "To comply it takes time to conduct a global search and ensure there is no conflict with audit services. Waiting for an answer has practical implications that were always going to lead to these inevitable circumstances."

They did it so we can, too! Only to fall short after less than a week; our confidence plummeting even lower than when we started.
Frequently, the problem lies in not having the skills needed to be successful on a program- any program. We think finding the right program is the problem but, to be honest, adherence to the program is the issue. You'll want to work on a few skills before you jump in like planning a meal menu in advance and forgoing spontaneous snacking. You'll also want to assess your ability to practice portion control. Deciding whether what you are feeling is real hunger verse boredom or another emotion is also paramount to success on a program. Lastly, you'll want to assess your thoughts regarding your body, yourself, and your relationship with food in general.
I haven't met anyone who was able to casually go through the day and stay on their nutrition plan that needed to shed extra pounds- myself included. Typically, we got to this point by having trouble with some (or all) of the other skills listed and aren't very good at meandering through the day without a plan.
To begin, don't change what you would normally eat. Do you love having pasta night with buttery garlic bread at your house? Great! Work on making your meals in advance and setting a menu for the week.
Consider how often you pick off someone else's plate or eat standing up. Maybe you munch in the pantry while looking for another snack (like yours truly). After you plan your menu, give yourself credit for each time you pass up mindlessly munching.
Being busy is glorified today. We have convinced ourselves there is not enough time to make a single change. (see schedule clean up if you need help with this) I noticed I had much more time when I pulled back on activities like browsing social media and watching murder mysteries. See where you can consolidate errands and remove optional activities. Sit down to eat your meals slowly. Focus on each bite- the flavor, texture, and smell. Eating mindfully gives your brain enough time to register you are in fact eating and will let you know you are full. Increasing your satisfaction at meal times is important when you embark on a diet and will be consuming less food. Think quality over quantity.
Take time before you diet to see how much you are putting on your plate. Is that one piece of lasagna or two pieces hidden as one oversized slice? Get a food scale or use eyeballing with tips like a serving of protein or an entrée is a deck of cards, a cup of carbohydrate is the size of a softball, a serving of dietary fat (like oil, butter, peanut butter) is the size of your thumb. You'll probably shed weight just from using this tactic before you formally begin your new program.
Emotional eating happens to most of us. Long day at the office leads to diving headfirst into a pint of Ben and Jerry's. Besides being busy, we all are "stressed out." Lowering stress levels is key, but so is learning how to soothe yourself without indulging. This week, journal when you are truly hungry verse when you are stressed, sad, bored, lonely, or happy and decide to eat. Be honest with yourself. Ask yourself if you are feeling hunger in the pit of your stomach or if you are feeling a craving in your mouth or throat. If you are hungry, any food will do. If you are craving something, you will want a specific food- usually something salty or sweet.
Once you have identified the emotions you are feeling, if they are emotions of distress, try replacing eating with another activity that will relax you. Take a hot bath, light candles and make hot tea, meditate. I like to paint my nails to keep my hands busy until the urge to eat subsides.
Do you beat yourself up for falling short? When things don't go your way, how do you react? If you commonly have thoughts that include "always" or "never," it is time to change your tune. We all make mistakes. Give yourself credit for the wins and give yourself grace when you miss the mark. Ask yourself "would I say this to or about my best friend? How would I feel if I heard her talking to herself like this? What would I say?" Controlling negative thoughts will give you the ability to move past slip-ups and continue forward. You need to build yourself up- build up your confidence- so you can adhere to a program long term.
Once you get a grasp on these skills, it's time to find your program. Adding the aspect of accountability always helps. Snag a coach and a solid nutrition program. If you find your adherence slips for more than a moment here and there, return to this list and work on each skill one by one. After you ingrain these positive habits, dieting will become easier.

What's life without love? That's what Jacqueline Hellyer, one of the most well-known authorities regarding sexlife and relationships asks. Before we start, let me ask you something: Have you ever struggled through those times in which sex with your partner becomes a task? Have your kids given you light but, at the same time, have taken with them your sex life? Have sex become irrelevant between you and your partner? If so, you are not alone. A huge number of couples become loose interest in their sex lives as soon as the babies come. It happened to me and my husband too. However, everything changed and I discovered the secret the Jacqueline wants to tell to all of the couples out there: it is possible to have children and a healthy sex life at the same time. Yes, it is. And if you want to learn more about this secret, then you should continue reading the Great Sex After Kids review.
I know that when you have children, it seems as sex is not important or something that is postponed due to a more important task: taking care of your children. And, yes, I know too that this task is really important which is both tiring and fulfilling at the same time. However, it is important that your life doesn't consume all at once because of your kids. A healthy sex life is not only an amazing thing, it is also necessary for the overall of your well being and, guess what? it is actually helpful for parenting and being able to be at your 100% performance as a parent.
So, having a good sex life is relaxing, makes you feel better about yourself and adds a meaning to your life. If you are like me, it is possible that the mere thought about sex makes you tired. Well, let me tell you that if you fall out of a sex habit it can have consequences that will last in time. Why is that? Well, a good sex life makes a couple stronger and makes you bond with your partner. Having great sex creates a kind of loop in which sex gets better and, at the same time, strengthens a relationship. This means that the better your sex is, the better your couple is and the much better your sex gets. It is like a cycle of wellness. If you stop that cycle, it can be very hard to get back the habit of sex into your life.
So. if you stopped having sex. remember that you're also giving up on your relationship. I know that at this point you may be thinking that the Great Sex After Kids program will give you a whole lot of work. Believe me, it won't. In fact, the author of the book knows how much work you have to do now and, with some simple tips, you will be able to improve the quality of your sex life. How's that? Well, in fact, if you download the program you will find that the load of taking care of children will be unbelievably lightened and life will become much more easier.
To sum it up, if your sex life gets better you will be taking life at a slower pace, you will be feeling gently and you will discover that not only great sex after kids is possible but it can be better than the sex you had before!
What is Great Sex After Kids?
Nobody tells you about the changes you will face after you have a child. Nobody mentions it. Not even at the birth preparation classes. Along the lines of books there is something as vague as "sex could become an issue for a little whileâ€. There is no need for me to tell you that this information is not enough. So, if you have been struggling with an empty sex life, it can be shocking to find yourself not wanting to be intimate with your partner. And, no matter how much you have been told to talk about your feelings, let me tell you that there is more to the situation than just talking.
The Great Sex After Kids PDF is the most complete guide that will help you to master parenthood and sex life.

So, how long will this poor sex life phase will last? It is up to you. You are the one who decides if you are going to stay in this awful and long term loop. Great Sex After Kids will teach you how to enjoy sex again, bond with your partner and overcome the natural issues that happen during partnerhood. Â And, the most important part of it, is that you will actually learn how to reverse this situation once and for good.
Who is the author of Great Sex After Kids?
Jacqueline Hellyer is one of the most well known and recognized sex therapies over the U.S. As hard as it seems to believe, she mastered the art of being a mother of three and still have a fulfilling and enjoyable sex life. In fact, this is what made her as popular as she is today.
As a sex therapist and relationship coach, she knew that is what her call to help couples to stay together. How? It all starts with bonding. And guess what is one of the most important issues when it comes to a couple bonding? Yes, it is sex.
So, not only Jacqueline has already helped hundreds of couples out there but she managed to do it herself with this awesome program. If you decide to download Great Sex After Kids she will become your coach and you will be guided by her into a fulfilling intimacy with your partner and, believe me, the benefits in the long run of restoring the habit of sex are huge. So, how much are you willing to compromise? I would say that improving your sex life is totally worth it.
Don't wait a minute more!

Great Sex After Kids is an easy to follow practical guide with a lot of romantic, philosophical and spiritual stuff as well that will lead you to the best sex you ever had.

Using words and language is a powerful tool to transform your whole life. Your words give power to your thoughts, which affect your feelings, which then affect the actions you take. So if you keep discouraging yourself and using discouraging language, it will affect the results in your life.
If you feel anxiety or pain, the last thing you need to do is look at yourself. Whenever you feel like this you must go in. – Sad Guru
Start with Awareness
Being aware of how you feel, journal and write it out, what is bothering you?
"By changing your words you can change your world, because your word is your world."
I can't
I have to …..
Next time
Some Day
Words Give Feeling
Our life is always based on how we FEEL, we do everything for how we will feel. We buy something because it makes us feel good, we go somewhere because it will feel good. Your words give your life FEELING. So by using language like "I can't" you feel like you are not in control of your life. Use words that EMPOWER you.. "I am choosing not to do this." "I CAN and I WILL." "I am becoming…"
Words effect The Body and Mind
"Words have a biochemical effect to the body. The words determine how we feel. Change your words and you change how you feel. Be careful who speaks to your life." – Pastor Joseph Gilson in the book Keys to Prosperity.
Think And Grow Rich
In Think And Grow RichNapoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich he explains how you can change your thought pattern by the repetition of words, then eventually you will start to believe it.
"We must carefully orchestrate our speech if we want to achieve our goals and bring our dreams to fruition." —Dr. Andrew Newberg
Pay Attention To What You Feed Your Mind
Treat your mind like you would treat your body when you are trying to be heathy, you choose the foods you eat more carefully, thoughts and words should be the same.
Mararu Emoto did a Rice Experiment by putting rice into 3 cups and speaking to them differently, the results show how positive or negative words can really change things.
Affirm your life
Wake up every day and tell yourself, it is going to be a good day and you can do whatever it is you set out to today. Talk about things you love, talk about how you love who you are becoming, talk about how much you love your life and what is becoming. Speak a new story.

As a Christian, understanding how to respond to stress and anxiety can be difficult. There is the balance between determining if someone has a sin problem (e.g. they are worrying to much and should instead be trusting God to provide and take care), if they are reacting in a proper and healthy way to that which is occurring (e.g. Jesus sweating blood in the Garden of Gesthemane when under an amazing amount of stress and pressure) or if it is an uncontrollable physiological reaction (e.g. medical depression and anxiety that some people are more prone to that others).
The Bible provides us wit a few instructions regarding worry, I think they are useful when thinking about the issues of stress and anxiety.
"This is why I tell you: Don't worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the sky: they don't sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they? 27 Can any of you add a single cubit to his height by worrying? 28 And why do you worry about clothes? Learn how the wildflowers of the field grow: they don't labor or spin thread. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these! 30 If that's how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won't He do much more for you—you of little faith? 31 So don't worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' 32 For the idolaters eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first the kingdom of Goda and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. 34 Therefore don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:24-34)
Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6)
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, because He cares about you. (1 Pet 5:6-7)
It is good to be reminded to be trusting in God for all that we need, to cast our cares upon the Lord, so to speak. But one point that was made during the lecture was that quoting bible verses at people who are struggling with stress and anxiety is not always the best solution. Professional counselling may be required, even medication, to deal with the anxiety problems people may be facing. Here is where wisdom is required, and also a humility to see that we can't fix all the problems that people come to us with.

Tigers suffer first loss since last season
EDWARDSVILLE - When Edwardsville scheduled Normal Community High for a soccer date Saturday, Tigers coach Mark Heiderscheid knew the matchup could be important to his team. Not so much from a win-or-lose standpoint, but as a way to preview a possible sectional opponent and as a chance to gauge his own team's progress.
And despite Saturday's 1-0 Normal victory, Heiderscheid got what he was looking for - almost.
The Ironmen (11-0-1) got a goal from Josef Holcomb in the 54th minute and held on to hand Edwardsville its first defeat of the season. The Tigers are 9-1.
"Always want a win, of course," Heiderscheid said, "but we got a look at a quality opponent who we may well see down the line in the postseason.
"Of course, a lot of things would have to happen before then, so let's not get ahead of ourselves."
It was in fact the Tigers' first varsity loss since Sept. 13 of 2013, when they lost to Batavia 1-0 in the Morton Tournament. The following day, they tied Moline 1-1. Since that time, Edwardsville had gone 24-0, including a 15-0 streak at the end of the season that culminated in winning the Class 3A state championship.
"This a downer, but not sure it qualifies as adversity," Heiderscheid said. "We'll see how the team reacts to it, though, as their first loss in quite a long time. We like to look at the overall picture. We had some bumps last season, too, but it ended pretty nicely for us."
On a hot afternoon at the District 7 Sports Complex, Normal set the pace for the game early and the Tigers never seemed to adjust. But the Ironmen couldn't break through on the scoreboard in the first half, despite outshooting Edwardsville 5-1.
Midway through the first half, Normal's best chance at a goal came when Eddie Plesha fired a pair of point-blank shots that were saved by Tigers goalie Trent Daley. But when the second rebound scooted away, the ball landed at Holcomb's feet. But his long shot was also saved. That combination reaped dividends in the second half.
"We coaches knew Normal was very strong," Heiderscheid said. "And the players said they did, too. But our players were probably thinking, 'They're not a CBC or a DeSmet,' and I'm not so sure they bought into it.
"They're believers now. Normal is a quality team."
If the Tigers hope to repeat as 3A state champions, their road will go through the Normal Community Sectional Tournament. Edwardsville will play host to its own regional tourney, with the winner advancing to Normal, along with regional champs from Collinsville, Bradley Bourbonnais and Orland Park Sandburg. The sectional winner will return the following week to Normal Community for the 3A super-sectional and a battle for a Final Four berth.
After the Ironmen had dominated much of the first half, the Tigers appeared rejuvenated as they kicked off the second half. They appeared more organized on offense and created several scoring chances. But the Ironmen, on a quick counter attack, made them pay.
More precisely, Plesha and Holcomb made them pay.
Plesha, Normal's leading scorer with 15 goals, broke in on Daley and leveled a shot. The Tigers goalie made the save, but the rebound went straight to Holcomb, who redirected the ball into the net. It was Holcomb's third goal of the season.
"In the second half, we stepped on the gas pedal," Normal coach Brian Pelton said.
The Tigers applied considerable pressure the rest of the game, but were unable to get the ball past Normal goalie Josh Millmore.
Edwardsville's best chance came with 6:38 remaining in the game when the Tigers' Max Kieffer broke in on Millmore, but his shot from six yards out was saved.
"We'll need to learn what can be learned and move on," Heiderscheid said. "We have Alton coming here here Tuesday."
N - Holcomb (Plesha)
Shots: Normal 6, Edwardsville 4; Corner Kicks: Normal 2, Edwardsville 1; Fouls: Normal 6, Edwardsville 5; Saves: Normal 4, Edwardsville 5.

Cyril was thinking that man flu was a good excuse for spending some time in bed. His wife, being the canny sort, decided that Svetlana was the answer. She didn't mind that Cyril would have someone lovely to gaze upon, every old man needs the occasional treat, but Svetlana, being of Russian extraction, was never going to be a push over. Cyril was out of that bed in a jiffy, Svetlana was awesome with her syringe threats, and he was soon on the road to recovery.
You can find Svetlana and Cyril HERE at Dr Digi's House of Stamps along with lots of other fabulous stamps

Provider failure and emergency incidents - A checklist for regional response
Provider failure and emergency incidents
A checklist for regional response – September 2017
- Purpose of this document
Local Authorities all have emergency planning arrangements in place and guidance exists to support authorities in the event of provider failure or similar emergency situations. In recognition of the increased risk of provider failure across more than one local authority area, this document provides an additional checklist to enable regions to plan for such an eventuality and to facilitate a more widely co-ordinated response. The intention is for this checklist to be used to develop bespoke plans for the respective regions.
This framework is focused primarily on business continuity, rather than wider emergency planning, and it may in due course require updating / adjustment in light of work being undertaken to learn from recent major incidents. Reference should be made to the civil contingency governance in the local area.
- Key Principles
Available guidance identifies a number of key principles in dealing with provider failure;
- Person-centred care – individuals' needs are paramount and any process/practice should maintain dignity and respect.
- Safeguard – while providers may fail, service continuity should not. The local authority's duty to safeguard and ensure continuity of care comes first.
- Communicate – service users, carers, their families and care workers themselves must never be left out of the loop.
- Managing information – holding good, accessible data on people receiving care.
- Management of personal data will be crucial in fulfilling the duties in the Care Act and ensuring continuity of care for all individuals in a locality, including self-funders.
- Be prepared – preparing, testing and regularly reviewing contingency plans.
- Related Guidance. The documents below include checklists and templates which regions may find useful in developing a regional plan;
Care and Continuity : Contingency Planning for Provider Failure. A guide for Local Authorities (Care-ContinuityFINAL.pdf) Provides background and policy context around provider failure (including summary of Care Act duties and responsibilities) and a 'how to' guide for developing business continuity and contingency plans. The appendix includes other useful references.
Quick Guide – Managing Care Home Closures (1577_QuickGuide-CareHomes_9.pdf) Practical guidance and case studies to support health and care systems.

For those of you who don't know what AR is...Accelerated Reader is a program that allows students to read and then get tested on their comprehension of the story. Most books have been checked by AR for their "reading and testing level." The students should choose books at their correct reading level and then answer 10 multiple choice questions on the book's content. If you fail an AR test, you can not retake it. Many schools make AR points part of their assessment and grade requirements.
I have mixed feelings on AR. I love the concept of children being rewarded for reading at their level and understanding the content of the book. I completely dislike the idea of a school putting a
mandatory point requirement on grading. Andrew, my oldest, is a very strong reader and LOVES reading. Because of that, he tested in the high school AR level in 5th grade....NO 5th grader should be reading the same type of content as a high schooler. Andrew's AR point requirement was so high that he usually had a hard time meeting it each quarter. Trust me, he would read and pass his AR tests but the book points at his appropriate emotional level were so low that they fell short on the AR required points. Then there was Chloe. She's also a strong reader but can't stand reading! For whatever reason (maybe she worked the system) but she was reading picture books in 5th grade to get her low AR points that were required!
At our school, each child would have a different requirement of AR points, depending on their reading abilities. I've also seen at other schools, that they require the same amount of AR points per quarter regardless of a child's reading ability. Another BIG problem. I really do like AR, just not as a mandatory part of school. I think it's a great incentive for readers and ALL readers (regardless of their AR point value) should be rewarded for their successes.
|You can find these labels HERE!
Regardless of how your school uses AR, you need to have your AR books labeled for the kids to find. I created these cute AR labels to go on the spine of the books. This way, kids can find their appropriate AR level when looking for books to read. The labels are editable for you to type in the book AR level and AR points. Or you can print them out as is and just write on the labels. The bottom section of the labels are intended to be cut in half- so you can get 2 labels out of one for picture books.
And here's your FREEBIE- an AR poster!

"THOUSANDS of mothers in Scotland suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder every year after giving birth, according to experts.
Doctors believe that, like soldiers returning from war, women can suffer lasting psychological damage due to their experience.
Colin Howard, executive director of Manor Hall, Centre for Trauma in Stirling said that up to 6% of mothers in Scotland suffer from PTSD after giving birth, meaning almost 35000 women suffer from the debilitating disorder each year.
Experts say it can have a "disastrous" effect, with mothers suffering for years with traumatic flashbacks, and that it can damage their relationship with their child."
"One mother, who wished not to be named, said: "What was supposed to be one of the best experiences of my life, was the worst. Of course I love my daughter but it was all just too much.
I was in labour for over 24 hours and I had to have an episiotomy. While giving birth I ended up tearing and losing a lot of blood."
"Dr Alexander Yellowlees, medical director and consultant psychiatrist at the Priory in Glasgow said that he had treated a number of women who have suffered PTSD after giving birth.
Not many women talk about it, and I think that is why we do not hear about it. Like when soldiers came back from the war, they were just expected to get on with it, there is the same mentality here too."

San Francisco police are searching for a suspect accused of assaulting a female Muni driver early Thursday morning.
A 38-Geary bus was near Main and Folsom streets around 3:25 a.m. when a pedestrian approached the coach and attacked the woman from the operator's window, according to Paul Rose, a spokesman for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.
The suspect left the scene after the crime and is currently on the lam. The Muni driver was taken to a hospital as a precaution, but is expected to be OK, Rose said.

Decades ago, it wasn't unheard of to have your family doctor make a house call, visiting families at home to diagnose ailments or offer care. Today, you won't find too many doctors making in-person visits to their patients in their own homes. However, technology has made it so that doctors can virtually make a house call.
How Telehealth and Can Help Seniors Stay Healthy
Enter the concept of telehealth (also referred to as telemedicine), which makes use of technology — including video conferencing, telephone calls, smartphone apps, email, and text messaging — to help improve patients' access to healthcare, scaling back on the cost of that healthcare without sacrificing quality. Telehealth serves as an alternative to traditional healthcare in that patients don't have to visit their doctor's office or the emergency room in order to receive a diagnosis and treatment.
For seniors who live alone or who recently lost their driving privileges due to age or declining health, it may not always be easy to get a ride to a last-minute doctor's appointment. For members of the Sandwich Generation — juggling caring for an older relative and children of their own — busy schedules can make it tough to take off work and make arrangements to get a parent, a child — or themselves — to the doctor, if needed.
Saving Time and Cost
One such platform for telehealth is GriswoldConnect Virtual Care. An extension of Griswold Home Care's services, GriswoldConnect Virtual Care is a platform that makes it simple for seniors and their families to get the care they need without having to leave home.
Given the unfortunate trend of understaffing in the medical profession, it can be difficult for patients in need to receive care for treatable ailments in a timely manner. Simple, easy-to-diagnose conditions like bronchitis, pinkeye, or a UTI can worsen if left untreated or without a doctor to prescribe proper medication to help a person back on the road to good health.
And if you need to head to the emergency room to get timely treatment for a simple condition, that can pack a hefty punch to your pocketbook — even if you're just going to get a prescription filled for a cough or to stop an infection. Additionally, it can cost money to take a day off of work to take a loved one to visit the doctor or to drive yourself.
One of the groups that stands to benefit the most from telehealth are seniors and their families. It may come as a surprise to some, but many seniors are quite tech savvy. According to the Pew Research Center, 6 out of 10 seniors use the internet regularly. Additionally, 27% of seniors have a smartphone — and if they don't have one, chances are, they have a younger loved one who has access to this technology and will show them how to use it.
In an article featured in Time, the National Center for Health Statistics revealed that 41% of American households had ditched their landlines. However, that also means that 59% still used a landline — and many of those in this grouping of landline-exclusive households are adults aged 65 and older. Despite the abundance of older adults using the Internet and smartphones, a good many of seniors still rely on simple home telephones, which is why it's important that telehealth services be accessible via a landline, too.
Telehealth: Helping Patients AND Care Teams
GriswoldConnect Virtual Care and other telehealth programs give people same-day access to licensed, board-certified doctors via phone or video conferencing. If you call to make an appointment, you will usually get a follow-up in minutes. These "virtual visits" are conducted like any in-person doctor visit. The only difference is, you're being treated in your own home with a medical professional "seeing you" on the other side of a computer screen or on the other end of a phone call from either a landline or cellphone.
These programs allow people to receive treatment and written prescriptions for cold and flu, bronchitis, allergies, or other conditions. Additionally, these telehealth programs can be expensed through HSA, FSA, and HRA accounts. And since many of these accounts require users to "use it or lose it" with funds that can't be rolled over into the next calendar year, a telehealth visit can be a helpful way to use these spending accounts.
Like many other telehealth programs, GriswoldConnect Virtual Care securely sends your medical records from your virtual visits to your primary care physician so he or she has an accurate log of illnesses you've been treated for.
Outside of basic care, telehealth is helpful to other medical professionals — including discharge planners and social workers who deal with patients with more serious disorders that have required a hospital stay or follow-up care.
Social workers and discharge planners must meet with patients and other personnel on a patient's care team to make sure comprehensive plans are in place for a patient once they are discharged from the hospital. It can take time and resources to coordinate meetings of all personnel involved on a patient's care team, and it can be difficult to get them all in the same space at the same time. This team may include doctors, nurses, physical therapists, social workers, family members, and the patient themselves.
Being able to use secure telehealth programs to "meet" virtually helps save time and money, as well as reduce the risk of a patient needing to be readmitted because of a flawed care plan after release from the hospital.
A service such as GriswoldConnect Virtual Care can "link up" all of these parties, as well as keep a person's primary care provider informed of changes to their health and medical records.
Empowering Seniors to Take Control of Their Health
Given how many seniors are adopting technology or how many have adult children or teenage grandchildren who can show them how to use it, telehealth programs are a great way to encourage seniors to stay on top of their own well-being. Even if seniors do not have access to a computer or smartphone to actually "see" the health care professional they're talking to, telehealth programs such as GriswoldConnect Virtual Care can be accessed with a landline phone.
Knowing that a doctor is on-call and able to make virtual house calls on an as-needed basis can offer them added peace of mind. Furthermore, access to telemedicine programs can help seniors stay healthier longer with the prompt care they need — when they need it — without having to depend on friends or family members to do so.
Do you think you or someone you love could benefit from access to a trusted telemedicine platform?

By explicitly considering the spatial dimension of local regional labor markets, we develop a simple dynamic model that explains the spatial correlation between unemployment rates. We then test this model by using UK local data. Our evidence shows a significant spatial dependence that has been growing over time and characterized by a low distance decay. Highly localized effects are explained by commuting flows. These results are consistent with the theoretical model.

Songs have been written about it, it's been the backdrop for innumerable movies and television shows, and even a drink has been named for it! Manhattan conjures up everything vibrant about New York City, about wealth and privilege, and comfort and convenience. In fact, the very name is aspirational. It has been said that Manhattan is where you move to when finally you've 'made it'. It's been that way for decades, and it's probably even more so today. Of course, with a whopping price tag attached to most luxury condos for sale in Manhattan, it tends to cater for young professionals who have established themselves and are ready to graduate to the next level. Once they join the well-heeled crowd, few leave, after all they've reached the top.
Living in Manhattan
There's much that is great to say about living in this part of NYC. It's an upscale area, but the residents feel the price is justified by what's being offered. For a start the buildings and apartment high-rises are beautiful, some are pre-war with magnificent facades, and these sit in comfortable juxtaposition next to elegant towers of glass and chrome. Manhattan is known for having the best schools and parks in New York, so it's perfect for young families. For the double-income parents, this is 'nanny-land' and young girls from all parts of the globe can be found pushing strollers through the leafy streets and in Central Park. Mingling with the old school are the growing numbers of staff who attend to their employers' needs. On their days off they can be found wandering through one of the many museums on 'Museum Mile' or enjoying a drink at a sidewalk bar and watching the glamorous and exclusive world go by.
Tourists in Manhattan
Tourists flock to NYC and Manhattan is at the top of many must-see lists. Part of the reason for this is the plethora of celebrities who have made their homes here, and spotting a famous face is always a thrill for an out-of-towner. Many of the wealthier tourists are also snapping up luxury condominiums for sale knowing that having a slice of real estate in this part of the city is a good investment, and wanting to ensure that they can make many more trips to this vibrant place any time they feel the urge. For tourists, there are endless sights of beautiful buildings and magnificent mansions belonging to the elite. The shopping is among the best in the world and the nightlife bears out New York's title as being 'the city that never sleeps'.
Manhattan House is situated in the heart of the Upper East Side of Manhattan. They offer luxury condos for sale in Manhattan with unrivalled opulence.

Sorry for the lack of posts everyone. Not only have I been SUPER BUSY (I know I say I'm busy a lot, but wow I have a lot of editing to do....some of which I can't show you because I'm still shooting some weddings for the studio I used to work at and although I'm the photographer, I don't own the copyright, so i can't show them to you) So on top of the busyness....I've got a head cold that is kicking my butt. At least sitting in front of the computer doesn't require a lot of energy. So be sure to check back in the next few days for some updated posts. Thanks!
