By: Kendra Thornton
Being a health-conscious mom isn't always easy. It takes enough work to make sure my kids eat healthy foods and get plenty of exercise while they're at home. You can imagine, then, how much effort it takes to maintain these habits while we're traveling. Fortunately, I've managed to come up with a number of secrets over the years to make it work, and I'd like to let you in on them.
Practice Moderation
When you're on vacation, you're likely to be repeatedly confronted with buffets. These smorgasbords are famous for their decadent fare and constant availability. Relax. It's perfectly okay to indulge a little, but it's essential to moderate yourself. Limit yourself to one plate-full, and be sure to choose plenty of healthy foods, too. If you do go overboard, you can make up for it by making your next meal a lighter one.
Eat Local
More locally supplied restaurants are popping up all over, so the next time you're on vacation, consider eating at one. The less time food spends in transit, the more it maintains its nutritional value. Furthermore, these eateries typically cater to people looking for healthier options, like dishes that use a lot of fresh, local produce.
Healthy Accommodations
People are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of their health, and even the hospitality industry is starting to take notice. After all, you shouldn't have to neglect your diet and fitness just because you're on vacation. When you arrive at your hotel, reject the key to the minibar. The only things that await you there are high prices and empty calories. Buy your own healthy snacks and drinks instead. You should also ask the hotel what they offer for physical activity. Most hotels at least have a swimming pool, but some others have gyms, walking trails and tennis courts. This is important for convenience purposes and is something I considered for our upcoming trip to Orlando. There are so many hotels in Orlando and sites like Gogobot can help you in finding the right hotel.
Get Your H2O On
Your body needs water in order to function properly. When traveling, it's easy to forget to drink enough water, particularly if abundant sun exposure is involved. This can result in issues ranging from low energy and light-headedness to heatstroke and electrolyte imbalance. Be sure to keep an ample supply of water within easy reach at all times. When it's readily available, you're more likely to stay adequately hydrated.
Routines are important, especially the ones that govern your health. That's why I make an effort to keep my kids in the habit of choosing healthy foods and staying active. This also extends to our family vacations, because healthy habits at home are just as useful during travel.

8 Ways to Create an Attitude of Gratitude in Our Children./
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more…It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend."
- Melody Beattie
Happy Holidays, Mamas!
We hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Holidays are a busy, busy time for us parents – preparing meals, preparing our homes, and preparing our pockets for the extra expenses! But of course, you still found the time for what is at the heart of Thanksgiving…giving thanks, right?!
We each may have practiced different holiday traditions and ways to give thanks, but one thing's for sure – expressing gratitude is a mood saver for us all. Having a grateful outlook on life obliterates roadblocks and paves the way to a full, happy life, as Melody Beattie stated.
Why do you think everyone's so happy on Thanksgiving? Because we're reminded to give thanks for an entire day! Okay, maybe it has to do with a little more than that…but studies indeed show that expressing gratitude has numerous positive effects!
CHICmom urges you and your family to continue in yesterday's thankful spirits today, and every day…especially while you're out scrambling to find the latest in fashion, gadgets and toys for your loved ones on this busy Black Friday.
As parents, it is important to lay the foundation for the road that leads our youth to full lives. Therefore, we must make thankfulness habitual. And CHICmom is here to help!
Here's a list of 8 kid-friendly tips to cultivate good habits and help mold thankful, grateful, humble little citizens of the world!
1. Involve your child in your finances!
Don't dismiss this idea just yet! It is a borrowed concept from a panelist of our 2017 CHICmom Spill the Tea event, and she proclaimed that it worked wonders for her children!
What's more, I recently learned, from an interview she did with Robin Roberts, that Michelle Obama was a product of this very teaching!
Interested now?
I mean, sure, it negates the old faithful saying, "Because I said so!" but our panelist argued good points and certainly convinced me.
The idea is to bring home your check in cash along with your physical house bills or print outs of different expenses (clothing, activities, etc.). Have your child(ren) help allocate the appropriate amount of money and set it beside each bill/expense. Your child(ren) will witness the original "stack" of cash shrink as they physically distribute funds to ensure that each of their needs are met. In return, they will begin to see the value of your hard-earned money and will grow appreciation for the things you can do for them as well as for the things you cannot (or will not) do.
2. Show him/her an attitude of gratitude, firsthand!
Obvious? Yes. But how many times have you found yourself expecting of your child(ren) what you forget to do/won't do, yourself? As you're still counting on your fingers, let me just jump to the point! Children learn by what we do and less by what we say. If your child shows kindness, always reciprocate. Show your child(ren) that you appreciate him/her daily through communication, small gifts, or acts, which can be as simple as giving your time.
3. Have your child give to a child in need!
Your child donating toys or other personal belongings is a big deal! As we all know, children cling to their things like no one's business! Donate things your child no longer needs or wants, but be sure to include a special toy or two. Take it a it a step further and have him/her physically deliver the items to a little girl or boy in need (when possible). This will help him/her connect with others while being thoughtful and selfless.
4. Encourage volunteerism!
True, volunteering at the local shelter, for example, isn't the most glamorous or fun activity for children, but it helps his/her capacity for gratitude grow in more ways than one. Once pushed out of his/her comfort zone, your child will experience mental, emotional and spiritual growth. He/she will also develop a sense of community and pride when the results of the kind act is visible through his/her labor or through the tears of joy on the face of a recipient.
5. Use your child's strengths!
What I mean is, after you've learned his/her unique strength, utilize it to involve your child and make him/her feel helpful. Being helpful leads to a sense of gratitude. If your child is great at decorating the house for the holidays, let 'em! Call on him/her in your time of "need," and be sure to thank your child and also praise the wonderful job he/she has done!
6. Set expectations when shopping!
It helps before making a fateful Target run (I say fateful because Target is no good for our pockets, lol) to actually tell your child, "Today is a 'look' day…"window shopping" only," or "Today is a one-item-only" day. Having that dialogue with your child actually makes a HUGE difference, and helps him/her be grateful for purchasing days. Be sure to have more 'look' days than purchasing days as this will also aid in the development of gratitude.
7. Teach the value of earning and contributing!
Go the old fashioned way! Have your child earn an allowance and actually contribute $1-$5 a month toward a monthly reward, the family travel fund, or a desired toy. While creating a sense of responsibility, it also teaches the value of money and will help your child appreciate the activities he/she does and the things he/she has because they have contributed their hard-earned money.
8. Create a daily routine!
Again, gratefulness must become habitual. Borrow (or create) a saying, or decide on an engaging activity to commit to daily that will inspire thankfulness. For instance, at the start of each day, you and your child can say, "Today will be a wonderful day, I am thankful for it already!" Another example is to have him/her state one thing to be grateful for at dinner time.
We've adopted this idea from our very own CHICmom, Shanika Dennis, who has already created a terrific routine with her daughter, Mariah!
We appreciate all of our readers and we hope you found these tips to be beneficial. I encourage you to actively work on instilling a sense of gratitude in your child(ren), not just in the days surrounding this holiday of giving thanks, but every day!
In helping your child live a life of gratitude, you will ultimately alter how he/she views and responds to life's twists and turns. By helping shift the focus in a more positive direction, your child will begin to appreciate life's current blessings and learn to accept the things that cannot change; your child will experience more joy and be better prepared for life!
Wishing you and your family a life full of happiness today and always!

A comprehensive examination of the effect of age on occupational accidents and injuries at a major urban health care facility

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of age, professional classification and length of service on the job, on the rate of occupational accidents, types of accidents, and types of injuries among health care workers.A total of 4514 accidents were studied. The independent variables used were: age groups, professional classifications, and length of service groups. Dependent variable used was incident rate. Regression models were fitted using logistic regression to approximate Poisson regression. Plots of incident rates were used along with test results to examine the relationships of the independent variables with accident rate and with each other.The results indicated that age, professional classification, and length of service, significantly influenced rate of accidents. Professional classification had a greater influence on the rate of accidents than age or length of service. Between age and length of service, age had the greater influence on accident rates. The interaction effect of age and length of service was greater than the main effects of age and length of service, by themselves. Large variability of accident rates was found among types of accidents and types of injuries. The variability of accident rates among types of accidents and injuries, was in fact, much greater than the variability in rates among professional classifications, age groups, or length of service groups.The results indicated that it will be more effective to use professional classification as the subject criterion for directing intervention strategies, than age or length of service. Between age and length of service, age will be the more effective criterion. Results also showed that while using age and length of service, subsetting age within length of service or vice versa, would be more effective than using age or length of service by themselves. The large variability in accident rates found among accident and injury types indicated that if aggregate accident rates were used to direct prevention strategies, the effects of high frequency accident and injury types predominant within particular subject criterion groups, would be obscured. Thus, results recommended that prevention efforts be focused on specific high frequency accident and injury types within subject criterion groups, for greater effectiveness.The predominant accident and injury types for overall population, professional classifications, age, and length of service groups were tabulated and recommendations made for their control and prevention.

Grant to us, Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who cannot exist without you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will...
Our hearts are given to the way of Jesus. But we often need a grant from the spirit in order to follow it.
As mentioned in Jonathan's sermon, at least a dozen of us from St. Paul's did stop by the Sikh temple in Lynden after the service. They opened their holy books, explained their services, allowed us to approach the altar, and were most welcoming.
They served an amazingly delicious meal to all who walked into the temple. A woman confided that they toned down the spiciness for us :-)
I met gentle, devout, kind people reaching out with sadness in their hearts, but with a firm resolve not to give in to fear and despair. They are Children of God. Keep them in your prayers.

I thought of ending my life just recently. I was too stressed of everything happening around me. College, fangirling, reality and fantasy… But then I was too lazy to get up and do any thing. I was scared of getting hurt. I remembered that someone would miss me if I was gone. I gained strength through those things. To not do it. To continue living because I don't want to cause anybody grief because of me. Also BTOB's It's Okay really helped a lot. Truly a healing song.
P.S There is no date bc I wrote this at around 2AM and without internet so yeah. And it's late because I thought I posted it already. Anyway, it's still for Day 5

Case Discussion
Entericobiliary fistulas represent a complication of cholelithiasis or choledocholithiasis. Cholecystoduodenal fistulas are the most common type, followed by cholecystocolic and choledochoduodenal fistulas.
Distal small bowel obstruction from an impacted ectopic gallstone, called gallstone ileus, is an unusual complication of chronic cholecystitis and affects only a minority of patients with cholecystoduodenal fistulas. Gallstones that result in intestinal obstruction typically exceed 2 cm in diameter.
Pneumobilia suggests the presence of an internal biliary fistula in the absence of prior
sphincterotomy, surgical bypass procedure, recent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, or passed common duct stone.

How about the person who spent a lot of money to end up with less than quality photos? Or worse, the friend that ended up with blurry photos or the photographer's fingers showing in not one, but multiple photos. This happened to me. This happens to a lot of us. So how come more of us aren't talking about it? Why aren't we sharing our experiences to educate each other and help more couples on this topic?

The beleaguered New Zealander Shane Anderson, moderator of The Mac EvangeList (one of the longest running Mac-centric lists, originated by Guy Kawasaki) is ready to hang it up, and is looking for someone to take up the mantle.
The why of Shane's giving up the list is a long and sordid story, but hopefully someone with the interest and ability to make it viable will pick it up. Today the list is only a shadow of its former glory, but there still is potential in the name.

Few could dispute that Corvettes are naturally sexy, but there's always room for more. There are some--okay, many--individuals who love to see their Corvette dressed up a bit. For them, the need and desire to customize, personalize, individualize, differentiate, and simply make their cars look hotter is a major driving force. But there are a few discriminating people who, you might say, see it as a passion for fashion.
Take for instance Aaron Fleming. The 27-year-old president of Design Specialties Custom Products in Bowling Green, Kentucky, learned from an early age to take customizing very seriously. His father, the late Steve Fleming, used to own one of the 723 '82 Corvettes in the unique metallic Silver Green (color code 40) paint, and it had dealer-optioned Weld chrome wire wheels. According to Aaron, "He didn't want to bring out a brand new car and show it stock," so he waited 10 years before hitting the show circuit while he fabricated many handmade, one-of-a-kind accessories for it. The result was a chromed-out Silver Green Shark that won over 250 awards between 1992 and 1998!
Perhaps, though, the experience gained while customizing the '82 was even more vital to Steve and Aaron than the awards that car won. Steve had begun by buying accessories over the counter and rechroming them, "hoping to get the show quality he was looking for," but he was always disappointed in the quality. Finally, one of the platers suggested that he make the parts himself with a higher grade of materials. "With this," Aaron says, "he found ways to make parts himself and make people notice. As time went on, more and more people wanted accessories made for their Corvettes and other show cars." Thus Steve went into business and started Design Specialties.
Aaron joined his dad when they were contracted to build a custom Impala SS. "The Impala was a fun project that taught us both a lot about fabrication, plating, and teamwork," remembers Aaron. At the show where it debuted, a gentleman approached them about customizing his new '98 triple black C5 convertible. When the black C5 was delivered to them a few weeks later, "My father and I saw a Silver Green C5 with Silver Green interior roll out instead." It would be a while longer though before they would be able to build the full custom C5 they dreamed of.
In February 2002, three and a half years later and after they had moved from Florida to Bowling Green, they finally had the opportunity and bought an '01 Quicksilver convertible with a Torch Red interior. "The '82 was always unique since we had never seen another Corvette that looked so different, but still looked like GM made it that way. Our C5 had to be something totally different and unique." They discussed the project plans for a week, then dove in headfirst and had the C5 completely disassembled, documented, and ready to paint in 12 hours!
With the car completely apart, the stock hood was chucked in favor of a custom high-rise one, and a GTR rear fascia with an integrated spoiler replaced the factory tail. A front spoiler and side skirts were also added. The whole car was sprayed in Dupont Metallic Silver Green with custom metallic green accents. The entire interior--including the carpet, leather seats, dash, door panels, steering wheel...everything!--was also dyed Silver Green to match. Even the leather shift boot and knob for the six-speed's B&M Ripper short-throw shifter were dyed to match the monochromatic convertible, while white-faced gauges, and Design Specialties' own chrome door sill plates and 2-inch "roadster bars" add a nice contrast.
Under the hood, the LS1 powerplant is mechanically stock other than a Twin Flow intake and the fully polished Corsa Pace Car Edition exhaust system with Pro-series tips. However, the engine bay is swimming in eye candy with tons of precision-crafted chrome pieces. All of the accessories have been chromed, along with the brackets, and mirror-finished chrome covers adorn every inch that hasn't been painted Silver Green. The new chrome fuel rail covers are artfully etched with flames in addition to the Corvette and Design Specialties logos. Not a detail has been overlooked. Even the hood struts are chromed!
Just as Steve believed with his '82, the combination of Silver Green with lots of chrome really catches the eye. The C5 rolls on chromed reproduction Z06 rims with stock run-flats. Z06-style rear brake ducts also feed cool air to the Baer brakes with Hawk pads and braided lines. All of the Corvette-style logos and lettering are tripled-chrome-plated brass, and for added flash, Design Specialties built a custom strobe light system that features 12 exterior strobes and four motor strobes. All the lighting equipment is installed in the cargo compartment, and includes its own gel cell power supply, remote on/off and pattern control. This C5 definitely makes its presence known.
Steve and Aaron began the two-month project in February 2002, which was scheduled to be unveiled at the 2002 NCM Birthday Bash. Sadly, Steve suffered a fatal heart attack in March, half-way through the build. "He never did see the car completed, but told me many times that he saw it in his dreams the night before," recalls Aaron, who, despite his father's absence, still had a car to finish. The Silver Green C5 custom did make it to the Birthday Bash in April, and "with the help of family, friends, and the great people from Corvettes Limited of Bowling Green, a beautiful brick was placed in front of the Museum for Steve," says Aaron. "Even though Dad is not here, his dreams and his achievements are. This custom is dedicated to him."
Indeed, Steve's vision is very stylish. With the naturally good looks of a Corvette, the way this Silver Green '01 wears its chrome is somewhat akin to putting Michaelangelo's statue of David in an Armani three-piece suit, or a Pierre Cardin scarf on the Venus de Milo. So does that make this the Versace of Vettes? Maybe, but it's a fact that this stylish C5 turns the open road into a fashion runway!

California Whip is yet to live up to the expectations that followed his impressive arrival in Hong Kong 18 months ago but the five-year-old's victory in the Class One Hong Kong Macau Trophy (1,400m) suggests he might be heading in the right direction.
With Neil Callan aboard, the gelding dug deep in the straight to reel in leader Calculation and trainer Tony Cruz has his sights set on the Group Three Sha Tin Vase on May 27, potentially followed by the Group Three Premier Cup on June 24.
"I won on him on the dirt over 1,200m and he broke the track record in Class Three carrying top weight," Callan said about California Whip's first victory in Hong Kong in January last year.
"In the four-year-old series [last season] he had actually been mixing form quite well – he ran well in the Classic Cup and I just thought with a season under his belt he would come out and improve quite a bit. I thought he'd at least be a Group horse.
"In his early races this season he'd been racing quite well but was bumping into horses like Fifty Fifty and the four-year-olds coming up and I thought maybe he was just limited.
California Whip puts it all together to win the Sha Tin feature, the Hong Kong Macau Trophy, for @neilcallan78 and Tony Cruz. #HKracing pic.twitter.com/RFzvCUA6Hn— HKJC Racing (@HKJC_Racing) May 12, 2018
"It's not where I thought he'd be. I rode him last time and I just had to chase him too hard on the dirt over 1,200m and it just wasn't his go."
With California Whip now likely to get his chance at Group level, Callan is confident there is room for further improvement.
"There is always a strong pace in the Hong Kong Macau Trophy and I knew going up to the 1,400m it was going to give me the chance to ride a race on him. It is what he's been needing and he did that," Callan said.
"Hopefully that will give him a bit of confidence now and he can maybe try and sneak a Group race in the near future."
It might have been the Hong Kong Macau Trophy but it was a dismal showing from only the two Taipa raiders, with Krystrump and Kelowna Star filling the last two places.
It capped a tough week for the visitors after Mister Kaopu and Victory Megastar were pulled from the field on Friday after testing positive to a prohibited substance.
The race itself opened up nicely for California Whip after pre-race favourite Calculation was caught three wide early on, forcing Karis Teetan to loop the field and take him to the lead.
Over his injuries, Tony Millard's Shimmer And Shine shows his promise at Sha Tin
"Everything worked out perfectly for him today," Cruz said, adding that he was always sceptical about the chances of Romantic Touch sweeping the interport series.
"I said he should be in the first three, but I expected The Golden Age to do something but for Romantic Touch, he had no chance in this kind of ground. Only in Macau do you get a soft track."
Callan notched a double on the day, winning the Class Five Guia Hill Handicap (2,200m) with a gem of a ride on Pearl Furu.

With the leading group bunching up in front of him, Callan seized his moment, booting Pearl Furu to the front at the 1,000m and holding off Holy Unicorn to win for Paul O'Sullivan.
"The plan was to either lead or sit outside the leader and he jumped well but he had no speed and I couldn't push him around the field in a Class Five because if I used him up like that he wasn't going to finish," Callan said.
"So I left him alone and the pace kept coming back in my lap and when I got to the 1,200m I just thought 'let him roll'.
"I think it was a race-winning move because he is quite a one-paced horse anyway. It was the right time to let him go and I just kept the momentum going and he just kept the gallop going."

John Wick Chapter 2: WICKed Efficiency, WICKed Fun/
John Wick Chapter 2 (2017)
Dir.: Chad Stahelski
With the first John Wick, Keanu Reeves thrust himself back into the spotlight as an action hero for his first major action role in over a decade. Despite what one may think about the star's acting capabilities in the face of his usually out-performing costars, Reeves' skill in delivering stunt-heavy choreography and his commitment to the roles in which he is cast cannot be overstated. The film was an admirably crafted, well written action thriller that established an interesting universe full of vibrant characters and action set pieces that felt at equally unique, visceral, and real. While it may not have singularly revitalized Reeves' career, it did provide an upswing in interesting roles for the actor. But most importantly, Reeves and co. showed the world that well-crafted American action films are still relevant, in the wake of foreign hits like the Aussies' Mad Max: Fury Road and the Indonesian The Raid films. With John Wick: Chapter 2, Reeves, along with director Chad Stahelski, the cast, and crew, not only prove that they have enough action set pieces and creative ideas for an ultra-violent, high-octane sequel, but they also develop the John Wick universe, as the curtain is further lifted on the international assassin ring that Wick finds himself once again working with.
While one usually does not watch films such as these for the plot, the writing in the second John Wick film proves just as efficient and intriguing as the first film--and as taught as any drama currently lighting up the silver screen. Its strength is in its simplicity: through unforeseeable circumstances, John Wick once again goes on a mission to assassinate targets. I won't spoil particular details, but I will say that while Chapter 2 works as a standalone piece quite effectively, it would behoove you to watch the first film, as you will feel more invested in the characters, and you will understand the protagonist's motivations much more clearly. Most admirably from a narrative standpoint, the film never feels like it provides a plot that works seemingly as an obligatory excuse to progress from action set piece to action set piece. None of the same stunts and brutally efficient assassinations are repeated from the first film, and Reeves' commitment to realism (for instance: this is an action film in which characters have to reload the magazines in their guns)in the face of such dangerous looking stunts provides the viewer with a level of immersion that could rival only the likes of Tom Cruise in terms of sheer awe.
The pacing of the second film does feel a little bit slower than the first, though this is not to say it ever ceases to be interesting. The dramatic elements in Chapter 2 are carefully crafted and intentional; if you're looking for Fury Road levels of non-stop tension and chase sequences, be forewarned that there are some breather scenes. Fortunately, they never feel unnecessary or forced. Overall, while the pacing has been changed, I appreciated how Chapter 2 built on the universe created by the first film, as it helped to augment the growing appreciation I had for the skill at which the film's secret society managed its deadly affairs. The pacing in the second film might not be as breakneck as the first, but for an action film fan, there are plenty of unique action pieces to keep the audience entertained from beginning to end.
Speaking of the action sequences, the technical prowess with which kills are attained by hitmen as efficient as Wick continues to be a driving thematic and visual strength in this sequel. Never does Wick run out of methods, tools, or ideas to bring down his aggressors. This time, the focus on Wick widens to include multiple other assassins similar to his skill level, and Wick feels more threatened than he did in the first film. Whereas the first film used its action to focus on how awesome John Wick is as an assassin, the second film balances this visual aspect by providing him with a small handful of worthier adversaries. The first Wick film showed a neat final confrontation between the titular character and the antagonist, but here Wick contends with more menacing adversaries. The stakes are raised in the action set pieces, partially as a result of these additions, and partially because Wick's newfound mission in the film dictates he perform hits he does not necessarily want to undertake. The cinematography is lush and choreography is on par with such stylized action hits as The Matrix, but it never feels borrowed. Chapter 2 combines a use of dark and blueish color saturation with remarkable sound design in order to relay a visual kaleidoscope of violent delights unto the viewer. The film never ceases to be thrilling, even in its slow dramatic segments, because put simply, the filmmaking on display is astounding.
Reeves' performance as John Wick remains consistent in the sequel, as he succeeds in remaining equally as heroic as he does deadly. Not only is his commitment to the stunt work throughout the film admirable, but he also shows his dedication to developing the character of John Wick beyond just a simple revenge-driven widower in Chapter 2. Through his conversations with other characters and his actions throughout the film, the audience learns more about Wick as an individual, as he proves more than just a singular entity of death-dealing vengeance. Welcome returns from Ian McShane and Lance Reddick further provide returns on investment from viewers of the first film, and Laurence Fishburne shows up in a surprising role as a character who intentionally comes out of nowhere. All of these players in this game of murder prove more than just pawns on the board, as they all have their own, unique agendas and individual guiding motivations. Whereas most of these characters existed in the first film as a conduit to further conduct Wick's revenge to a more fruitful degree, here, they show much more personality, and the world-building feels more enriched for it. If John Wick becomes a multi-film franchise, as it seems like it has ambitions for, the cast and crew have provided two solid films worth of a foundation for its characters to explore in-depth.
What The Conjuring 2 did for horror last year, John Wick: Chapter 2 does for action films this year. Chapter 2 succeeds as a genre film just as well as its predecessor, and it's a confident, ultraviolent, stylishly thrilling good time. If you are a fan of big set-piece action films, creative gunplay, inventive choreography, believable world creation, or even just the first John Wick film, you will be nothing short of delighted by the second addition to its franchise.
