Communication and Resolution After an Adverse Health Care Incident.
Pettersen B, Tate J, Tipper K, McKean H. Colorado Senate Bill 19-201.
Communication-and-resolution mechanisms are seen as important approaches to improving transparency and healing after an adverse event. This state bill, referred to as the "Colorado Candor Act," protects conversations between organizations, clinicians, patient, and families from legal discoverability and outlines criteria to guarantee that protection.
Legislation/Regulation > Federal Legislation
Veterans' Access to Care through Choice, Accountability, and Transparency Act of 2014.
HR 3230, 113th Congress (2014).
The Veterans Affairs (VA) health system has both achieved success and struggled to provide safe care to its patients. In an effort to address shortcomings in care, this bill allocates additional funding to the VA. Goals of this legislation include regulating and improving staffing levels, enabling veterans to access non-VA facilities, and enhancing patient access to telemedicine.

How the Nature-Nurture Dynamic Works in the Wine World
Nature and nurture aren't topics limited to biosocial science. They also are hotly debated in winemaking and may determine what you'll drink with dinner tonight.
Wine fermented juice is essentially natural. Because bubbling, roiling fermentation is a spontaneous process, wine production originally was not so much "making" anything, as much as standing back and shielding your eyes.
Wine's breakthrough technology (circa 1 A.D.) was the wooden barrel, intended for transport and storage but discovered to impart more, or less, subtle flavors. For the next two millennia, farmers and vintners massaged wine's every step from the field (vine spacing) to the table (container closure) to nurture fruit into a potable product. Note: not delicious, mind you, simply potable.
In the 1900s, wine took crucial and divergent directions.
In Europe, age-old technique was codified into law (such as France's AOC), designed to identify and protect each region's typical flavors. Note: not delicious, simply typical.
In the U.S., with "how to make wine" books for technique and little regulation, producers decided to make wine that was potable, sometimes typical, but always with flavors that people wanted to drink (i.e. purchase.)
That Yankee spirit yielded spectacular success with oceans of well-made values (from wineries such as Gallo and Sebastiani) and ripe, food-enhancing elegance (Clos du Val, Trefethen and recently Landmark Vineyards.)
It also yielded the sweetened Chardonnay, "white" Merlot and the over-oaked everything of McWine.
Today, U.S. sales are drifting back to Old World wines with lower alcohol, higher natural acidity and unique, regional flavors. …

Recognizing Common Signs of Melanoma
New or Changing Moles Later in Life
While moles often appear or change during childhood and adolescence, it is much less common for moles to develop in adults over 25 years of age. If you notice a new mole or if a mole changes color, shape, or size, have it checked out by a doctor.
ABCDEs of Melanoma
Moles that...
(A) are asymmetrical
(B) have a poorly defined border
(C) have shades of different colors
(D) have a diameter larger than a pencil eraser
(E) are evolving
...may be early signs of melanoma.
Moles that start bleeding unexpectedly or are continuously bleeding should be evaluated by a doctor.

The ABC's of Your 123's ~Part 2, Y is for Yoga ~
The ABC's of Your 123's
Y is for Yoga, Part 2
The idea of Numerology is to connect with yourself, so too is the intent for yoga.
"If you want to fail at yoga, look around the room during class. If you want to succeed in yoga practice, look inside." Tricia Gunberg
****FREE Wellness Numerology readings for anyone who wants to contribute to this article. Commitment includes attending yoga 1-2 times per week for at least 6 months.****

Part 2
This little video clip shows you where I am at with my balance. As I try to convince more people of yoga's benefits, recording my efforts seems like a good idea. Doing this on lava rock was extra challenging. With the camera rolling, I had extra focus.
NOTE TO PRACTITIONERS: if you would like to contribute to this article with supporting statements- thank you in advanced. If you would like me to do a Numerology/Energy interpretation of any ailments, I would be happy to do so if you are contributing to this article.
My goals with this article(s)are:
A. Encourage people to do yoga by showing people yoga is so much more than what their body can do. We know why yoga is so good, but most people do not understand the depth of yogas benefits.
B. Give evidence of body-mind connections using Numerology and Louise Hays body of work.
C. Show, with examples, approaches that work for specific ailments/challenges based on Michael Brills body of work.
I would like to record case studies using numerology 1-9. Here are a few examples.
To find out your Life Path number, add all the digits of your birthday down to a compound digit and then to a single digit (If you would like to become part of this study I will do a Wellness Numerology reading for you. You can purchase a numerology reading here.) The compound digit as well as the single digit is called the Life Path. Look for any of the three (or four) digits below. How well do they match what is going on in your body and in your life? If you are a practitioner, does the Numerology for a client match their aliments? Free readings for those who want to contribute to this body of work.
1- (Creativity and Confidence) One is about leadership, moving forward and being in your body. Do you have issues with your legs? Do you stub your toes or have injuries to your lower body? APPROACH: While doing tadasana poses pay attention to your legs. Strengthen your legs so that you can move forward in life with ease and grace.
Note: If you have a 1 in your life path you are here to blaze your own trail and show the world your uniqueness. According to Dan Millman: "You are here to bring a positive creative energy into this world."
Possible aliments: legs, constipation, reproductive issues, joint (doing for self, confidence), pain on left side: incoming responsibilities, pain on right side: perceived as a need to prove self
How Yoga helps: Twists help with constipation, internal organs and seeing from another perspective, improves leg strength
2- (Cooperation and Balance) This is about sensitivity and muscle tension. Before you can help others, you need to understand and attend to your own needs. You are here to show people how to live in harmony and therefore must create it within yourself.
I have a theory that people double jointed people or really flexible people have a 2 in their numerology.
Note: If you have a 2 in your Life Path - your motto needs to be: help if asked but only if you love the task (balance, harmony)
Possible aliments: stress related ailments, resentment, physical tension, 'overly flexible',
Standing in tadasana, is your body leaning back (resenting the past) or does it lean forward (anxiety: fear of the future)
How Yoga helps: Actual physical balance, strengthening,
3- (Creative Expression) All about creativity. The hips are your focus. Love on them and all the stuff in between them. Learn stretches that you can do at home and at work so you can keep your creative juices flowing
My tight hips example in the introduction.
Note: If you have a 3 in your life path…..
Possible aliments:
How Yoga helps:
4- The building and step-by-step energy is about a solid foundation. ***4 issues Building health and wellness takes time. Give yourself a 4 year plan, take an assessment of your results after that much time. Take photos of yourself now in several positions (chose difficult ones) and each year for the next 4 years. I promise with only a 1x- 2x a week commitment you will make huge changes!
Note: If you have a 4 in your life path…..
Possible aliments:
How Yoga helps:
5- (Freedom and Discipline) This is about flexibility. Are you inflexible both in body and life? Do you fear change?
Note: If you have a 5 in your life path…..
Possible aliments:
How Yoga helps:
6- (Vision and Acceptance) Unconditional love is the energy of the six. The flip side is perfection (accepting things as they are is unconditional love). You might be avoiding a yoga class because you won't be prefect at it.
Note: If you have a 6 in your life path…..
Possible aliments:
How Yoga helps:
7- (Trust and Openness) Trust is an issue. You are an expert on your body-this takes both practice and trust. Releasing thoughts, emotions and feelings takes trust.
I made this connection in a 'ropes' class. I was feeling very clumsy and heavy in most of my attempts to get up the wall. As I struggled (I was comparing myself to others in the class- I know this is a no-no!) I realized I didn't trust myself. This realization came to me because once I got into a position I was fine. Crap! This is my life story and the reason I do not creatively express myself. I will continue to go to this class; working on strengthening both muscles of my body and the muscle of self-trust.
Note: If you have a 7 in your life path; you are here to trust the light, in yourself and others, and to share your inner beauty with the world.
Possible aliments: Heart issues, tightness around the chest, nervousness/anxiety.
How Yoga helps:
To be continued….

Collectors spend the most money on their hobbies (£3,328), but cyclists are most serious about having the latest fashionable gear with over half (51 per cent) admitting it was important that they had the most up-to-date technology or equipment. On average, millennials have spent £2,533 on their hobbies so far, while retirees have spent £2,092. Over two-thirds (37 per cent) of millennials surveyed said they were likely to upgrade their kit, equipment and invest in the latest technology every year, versus just 15 per cent of 45 – 54s or seven per cent of retirees (65+). 14 per cent of millennials estimate they have spent more than £5,000 on their hobby equipment during their lifetime so far.
"When you've really exerted yourself, you'll have depleted your glycogen stores so a rest day is a great day to top your energy stores back up. That can take 36-48 hours if you've had a really demanding couple of days," explains Matt Rowe, former professional, now part-time racer and founder of Rowe&King coaching.

Sandwiched between the cultural giants of Venice and Florence is a region of northeastern Italy that's still comparatively under the radar. Yet for the discerning traveller, Emilia-Romagna offers a treasure trove of delights just waiting to be discovered. Our base for this fascinating short break is its beautiful capital, Bologna, which is known in Italy as La Dotta, La Rossa e La Grassa: The Learned – home of the Western world's oldest university; The Red – after its many terracotta-coloured rooftops; and The Fat – the city has been at the heart of a rich agricultural region since Etruscan times and has evolved into the capital of Italy's well-loved culinary heritage.
Food and wine are revered throughout Italy, but take on an almost religious fervour here. Emilia-Romagna is the home of iconic culinary delights, including dark balsamic vinegar from Modena, and rich and nutty Parmigiano Reggiano. You'll visit traditional artisan producers to see how they're made and understand why they're so prized.
Italian history, art, architecture and cuisine at its most authentic – this exceptionally well-balanced tour is a true recipe for success.
You will be met by a member of the Riviera Travel team before your flight to Bologna. On arrival we transfer by coach to the four-star Royal Hotel Carlton, set on manicured grounds in Bologna's old town close to many fine restaurants. Settle in before joining your tour manager this evening for an informal welcome drinks reception, followed by a dinner of typical Bolognese dishes at the hotel's restaurant – the perfect setting for getting acquainted with your group.
This morning enjoy a sightseeing tour of Bologna to fully appreciate this attractive city. Beautifully preserved over the centuries, its original Roman street plan is still discernible and 10 of the 12 original gates that encircle the historic centre still stand. At Bologna's heart is the majestic main square, the Piazza Maggiore, surrounded by grand Renaissance palaces and dominated by the enormous church of San Petronio. Despite being one of Europe's largest churches, the Gothic basilica remains unfinished as ambitious plans to surpass Rome's St Peter's were halted by Pope Pius IV. Adjacent is another impressive square, where medieval civic buildings frame a bronze statue and fountain dedicated to Neptune, god of the sea. One of Bologna's many surprises is that it can 'outdo' Pisa, boasting not just one but two 12th-century leaning towers!
After the tour, the rest of the day is free for you to explore. Why not follow whichever delicious smells take your fancy through the city's maze of tiny alleys and streets, lined by tempting food shops filled with locals sampling the fine produce. As you soak up some of the wonderful ambience, remember you're off the main tourist trail here, so the enthusiasm for these culinary pleasures is heartfelt and refreshing in its authenticity.
Home to the Western world's oldest university, Bologna has for over a millennium been an academic hub, and public dissections used to be held in the intriguing 17th-century Anatomical Theatre, where detailed wooden carvings of two skinless figures flank the lecturer's chair. Another 'must see' is the pretty Sanctuary of the Madonna of San Luca, proudly perched on a hilltop overlooking the red-hued city. It is renowned for its black icon of the Virgin Mary, supposedly painted by St Luke, as well as the world's longest portico, so if you're feeling energetic you may wish to stroll under this covered walkway, which is supported by 666 arches, to the very top.
Tonight is another opportunity to discover why Bologna is so aptly nicknamed la grassa. Dinner is at your leisure, which gives you the chance to sample a recommended restaurant with some of your travelling companions. Absorb the rustic atmosphere of a modest trattoria over pear-stuffed tortellini, dig into earthy porcini risotto in a cosy osteria, or savour a multi-course degustation prepared lovingly with local ingredients in a century-old palazzo. Then walk it off with a gentle wander through charming side streets until you find a gelateria for a satisfying finale to the evening's culinary affair.
After breakfast, the morning is free for you to further explore. Bologna's skyline is dominated by the sky-piercing Two Towers – at nearly 319 feet, Torre degli Asinelli is the tallest leaning medieval tower in the world and a symbol of the city. Despite being some 900 years old with a noticeable lean, you can safely climb to the top – there are 498 steps, but the views are tremendous! A stone's throw away, La Macchina del Tempo offers a very different museum experience with its virtual reality feature, which takes you on an immersive tour of Bologna during medieval times.
As lunch inches closer, follow the narrow alleys to the Quadrilatero, the commercial heart of the old town. Butchers, bakers and grocers have their little shops here, alongside jewellers and craft stalls. Perhaps pick up some edible souvenirs such as cheeses, wines, dried pasta and cured meats. Or simply relax at a café with a hot chocolate and freshly baked torta di riso, a traditional cake made with rice and lemon zest. By the end of your trip, you'll have mastered the art of dolce far niente – pleasantly doing nothing.
The fertile region of Emilia-Romagna has been an agricultural powerhouse since Roman times and this afternoon, we discover its culinary superstars. We drive through bucolic countryside and endless waves of green hills to visit a renowned producer of Parmigiano Reggiano. True Italian parmesan bears the Parmigiano Reggiano name and is produced only in a small area. We'll learn the painstaking processes and techniques necessary to make this 'king of cheeses'.
We then visit a local maker of Modena's famous balsamic vinegar and discover the centuries-old process of creating the perfect bottle. Unlike the pale imitation sold at supermarkets, traditional balsamic vinegar is delightfully complex. During our tasting, you can try to discern the flavours of oak, cherry and other woods, depending on the barrels in which the grape concentrate is left to age.
Our last visit is to an award-winning winery, which produces superb organic wines where, after a tour of the wine-making process, we will sit down to a four-course farewell dinner accompanied by matching house wines – a perfect end to our day of gastronomic discovery.

A review of the 2017 Executive Roundtable Session. The second round focused on the work environment, technology, and collaboration.
Corporate Social Responsibility is so much more than companies giving money and support non-profits. Companies have a responsibility to their own people.
CSR needs to be "less like a badge" and more woven into the fabric of the organization.
6 ways to integrate responsible business practices, and put people first:
- Periodic evaluations of stakeholder/employee performance against the mission statement
- Involve more people - this leads to better ideas, more acceptance and engagement
- Encourage employees to start their own initiatives
- Report and publish reports on the impact of CSR
- Improve the skills of people in the community where they operate - this benefits the company and the whole community
- Don't just tolerate, rather EMBRACE diversity
What are other ways companies and organizations can practice their values to strengthen the work environment?

There are four main algae control methods; chemicals, aeration, mixing and ultrasound. Using the right method, will help you to keep a healthy, well-balanced water body. Excessive cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and green algae growth in lakes and reservoirs can have negative consequences for the water quality. The water turns green, sand filters can clog, and some algae can produce geosmins and MIB, giving the water an 'earthy' and 'molty' taste. This blog post provides a complete overview of algae growth conditions and four main control methods, including a chemical-free solution.
Jump to section:
1. Algae control
2. Algae growth conditions
3. Algae problems
4. Control methods
5. Chemical-free algae solution
What is algae control?
Algae control are actions taken to manage algae problems. The long-term management of algae should at least involve reducing nutrient inflow into the water body. However, long-term nutrient reduction requires extensive changes in policies and human activities and therefore take many years for significant improvement in water quality can be seen. There are some short-term treatment options available for managing algae problems such as aeration, chemical or biological additives or ultrasound technology.
A preventive measurement that can be taken is the real-time monitoring of essential water quality parameters and algae indicators. Real-time monitoring of water quality parameters related to phytoplankton dynamics such as Chlorophyll-a, phycocyanin, Temperature, DO, pH, Turbidity, and Redox is essential for short-term forecasting of potentially harmful algal blooms. These parameters provide direct and indirect information about the concentration of algal biomass in a waterbody. Once a bloom is predicted, it is easier to anticipate an algae bloom and take preventative measures.
Algae solution
LG Sonic technology provides an environmentally friendly solution to monitor and control algal blooms in large water surfaces.
- Treat large water surfaces
- Reduce chemical usage
- Safe for fish, plants and other aquatic life
Algae growth conditions
In all water bodies, a basic level of algae is present. These algal concentrations belong to the normal lake ecology and are important for the ecological balance within the water. However, when a specific algal type starts growing exponentially, it can suffocate other organisms within the water that are important for a balanced lake ecology, causing a deterioration of the water quality, and eventually massive deaths of fish and other aquatic organisms, creating an imbalance in the lake that may result in reduced levels of dissolved oxygen, reduced plant growth and altered pH levels.
Favourable conditions for blue-green algae are stagnant water in combination with high temperature and high concentration of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) in the water. Especially in the summer months, when the water temperature increases, the concentration of algae can grow exponentially. Water in raw water reservoir is often stagnant, the lack of circulation of the water can cause the algae to over-compete other organisms in the ecosystem and thus create massive algae blooms.
Even if new nutrients cease to be introduced into the water body, the biochemistry of a pond or lake is such that, due to the laws of growth, decay and gravity, eutrophication will not be stopped. This is because of an internal phosphorus cycling; the plant food never leaves. Further introduction of nutrients related to human activity, such as agriculture, will increase the level of eutrophication. A gradual increase of eutrophication is a natural process for any lake, but when it escalates beyond a certain level it causes virtually irreversible changes to the ecosystem. This again provokes the release of nutrients stored in the bottom sediments, and the process accelerates.
"Excessive algae growth can be caused by nutrient pollution, high temperatures, low turbidity, and/or slow-moving water."
Ultrasound to control algae
Ultrasound technology reduces algae up to 90% and prevents the growth of new algae.
Reduce chemical usages. Environmentally friendly. Low operational costs.
Algae problems
Excessive cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and green algae growth in a water reservoir can have negative consequences for the water quality. Cyanobacteria- also known as blue-green algae- cause problems when blooming in lakes, ponds and reservoirs. Toxins from cyanobacteria have caused many instances of fish kill and death of domestic animals. They can also cause illnesses, paralysis in humans and some are suspected to be involved in the occurrence of liver cancer. Where surface water is used for drinking purposes, cyanobacteria may also endanger the supply, because toxins and odorous metabolites can dissolve in the water and escape conventional treatment, giving rise to health issues and taste and odor problems to the water.
"Blue-green algae cause problems when blooming in lakes and water reservoirs, such as health issues, fish deaths, and odor problems."
Algae types
Algal growth occurs in three basic forms:
- Planktonic
- Filamentous
- Macrophytes
Planktonic algae are single-celled, microscopic algae that float freely or in colonies in the water. They can turn the water green or to other colours, including yellow, brown or red. Filamentous algae are single celled algae which form together long hair like mats. Macrophytes algae resemble true plants in that they appear to have stems and leaves.
Algae control methods
The presence of cyanobacteria is a severe and global problem. When it comes to lakes or bigger ponds, the current methods all have their advantages and disadvantages. While some methods are environmentally unfriendly (Algaecides), other methods are expensive (Aeration). The next chapter will also explain the new concept of combining real-time water quality monitoring, web-based software and ultrasound to monitor, predict and control algal blooms in large water surfaces. To treat and control the growth of algae, current options that are commonly used include the following four main methods:
- Chemicals
- Aeration
- Mixing
- Ultrasound
1. Chemicals
Chemical intervention involves treating the water with a variety of additives, such as alum, lanthanum, or any other products that precipitate or sequester the ionized orthophosphates. Aquatic herbicides used to treat algae are called algaecides and are often copper-based compounds, such as copper sulfate, copper chelate communes or the chemical Endothall. Care must be taken in the use of algaecides because they can cause algal cell rupture, which can result in intracellular toxins being released into the water reservoir. A rapid decay of an algal bloom may result in the release of high concentrations of algal toxins into the water. In addition, the potential long-term effect of chemicals on the ecological balance of the entire lake is a serious factor that needs to be considered.
2. Aeration
Aeration is used to increase the level of oxygen in the water. Aeration is an environmentally friendly technique to maintain and rejuvenate water bodies. To eliminate chemical use and create a healthy ecosystem, aeration systems can be used. It is important to maintain healthy levels of dissolved oxygen in your pond because the oxygen aids in the breakdown of decaying vegetation and other nutrients that find their way into the water.
This breakdown of the bottom silt is carried out by microorganisms where the water meets the soil. The decomposition is carried out by both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Aerobic decomposition requires a continuous supply of oxygen and proceeds more rapidly as dissolved oxygen concentrations are near saturation levels. The primary result of aerobic bacteria decomposition is carbon dioxide. Anaerobic decomposition is slower than aerobic decomposition, and the end products are organic compounds such as alcohols and foul-smelling organic acids.
The disadvantages of this technology are the high costs for maintenance (labor costs) and energy use. Since aeration does not kill the algae directly, the efficiency of this technology against algae is not always certain.
3. Mixing
The main function of mixers in a reservoir is destratification, which is a process in which the water is mixed to eliminate stratified layers (Epilimnion, Metalimnion, Hypolimnion: see figure below) and make it less favourable for algae growth in certain layers.
To control algae effectively, it is usually advised to circulate Epilimnion and Metalimnion to keep iron, manganese, and anoxic odors that commonly occur in the Hypolimnion layer away from the surface water.
The disadvantage of the mixing or circulation of water is often the high maintenance required to the systems regarding wear and tear, and the fluctuating results the systems can have on algae blooms.
4. Ultrasound
Ultrasound are sound waves with frequencies higher than the upper audible limit of human hearing (22 kHz). At specific frequencies, these sound waves can be used to control algae growth (video).
Cyanobacteria use gas vesicles for buoyance and depth regulation. During the day, algae are photosynthesizing in the top layer, using carbon dioxide and dissolved nutrients from the surrounding water to produce oxygen and polysaccharides. At night, the cyanobacteria cells empty their gas vesicles (vacuole) to sink to the bottom and use oxygen and nutrients to produce biomass.
Ultrasound waves create a sound layer in the top layer of the water. The sound layer has a direct impact on the buoyancy of the algae. The algae cells will sink to the bottom and are unable to photosynthesize and eventually die due to a lack of light.
Controlling algae with ultrasound is a well-established technology that has existed for many years. It is an environmentally-friendly technology that is harmless to fish and plants. It is, however, important for the efficiency of the technology that specific frequency programs be used, based on the type of algae that requires controlling. Due to the adaptability of algae during seasons within a lake, the ability to change these ultrasonic frequencies is of importance for long-term algal control.
"Low power ultrasound is safe for fish and other aquatic life."
Summary of different control methods
Chemical-free algae solution
There are various ultrasonic solutions available to treat smaller water areas (up to 200 meters/650ft). The devices comprise floating systems with transmitters that emit ultrasound waves underwater in order to control common types of algae. For larger water surfaces such as drinking water reservoirs, there are products available based on solar powered buoy constructions, for example, the MPC-Buoy. The MPC-Buoy, developed by the Dutch company LG Sonic, is a solar-powered platform that makes use of continuous water quality monitoring to control algae with ultrasound.
Within a body of water, physicochemical parameters, water flow, and microorganisms present can differ. The type of algae can vary and even change during the season. To use ultrasonic waves effectively, it is important that specific ultrasonic frequencies be used. LG Sonic uses scientifically proven ultrasonic frequencies to control many types of algae. The size of an algae cell, its morphology, and the general water quality determine the frequency necessary to control algae. It is therefore very important to monitor the water quality (Chlorophyll a, Phycocyanin, Turbidity, DO, pH, Redox, temp) to predict an algal bloom and to identify what kind of algae is growing and effectively base the ultrasonic treatment on that.
The MPC-Buoy provides a complete overview of the water quality by collecting the following parameters every 10 minutes:
- Chlorophyll α (green algae)
- Phycocyanin (blue-green algae)
- pH
- Turbidity
- Dissolved Oxygen
- Temperature
The collected data is delivered in real time via radio, GPRS, or 3G to a web-based software platform. Based on a developed algorithm, LG Sonic is able to modify the ultrasonic program to the specific water conditions and predict an algal bloom a few days ahead. Depending on the information received, the ultrasonic program can be modified to address the water conditions and type of algae present. In this way, it is possible to eliminate existing algae and prevent algal blooms.
The University of Portsmouth, UK; UNICET Catania, Italy; and BOKU, Austria found that LG Sonic units are safe for fish. LG Sonic devices have been tested to determine their effect on zooplankton, and no negative effect was found.
"At this moment LG Sonic is running MPC-Buoy projects in more than 15 countries worldwide."

My lunch was heavy on the Trader Joe's. Two products particularly of note:
CRANAPPLE BUTTER! YESSSSSSS! I have waited for that stuff since the slightest hint of autumn appeared. Also, a new tomato soup. They were out of my usual low-sodium tomato bisque. This one was not as good :(
Lunch incorporated both new purchases.
An open faced turkey sammie on TJ's spelt (I needed a Nature's Path break!) with CRANAPPLE BUTTER! Yay sweet and savory! Excellent, Thanksgiving-reminiscent sammie.
For warmth, the soup. It is soup weather here, for sure. I also had it for dinner last night and tonight, hah!
Yes, that would be my favorite smiley face mug. Everyone all together, with yog!
This lunch was quite SWEET. The soup was sweet tomato, the sammich had the cranapple butter, the yogurt was strawberry. I guess I was craving it?
Now to mix it up a bit, I thought I'd give people a bit of an insight into me, since I know my blog is a bit more food-centric.
- Where is your cell phone? I think it's in my gym bag still. Must transfer to purse.
- Your hair? Brown and recently hacked off! I was in NYC, admiring the beautiful people and hating my own hair. We were on the upper west side and walked by a cute looking salon with dec prices, and I went in and said "I hate my hair, do whatever you want!"
- Your mother? The best. She would do anything for me.
- Your father? A little whacky.
- Your favorite food? I'm going to commit and put it on the record and say it's gnocchi.
- Your dream last night? I had one! I know I did! But I can't remember.
- Your favorite drink? Parisian hot chocolate.
- Your dream/goal? Win the lottery and be able to do whatever I want. I'm not saying money buys happiness, but what I really want is the financial cushion so that I can figure out what it is I want to do with my life without the rent looming.
- What room are you in? Hah, I have a tiny apartment. The living room/dining room/kitchen/guest room/tv room room.
- Your hobby? I'm a crossword puzzle fiend.
- Your fear? Air travel. HATE!
- Where do you want to be in 6 years? Haven't a clue.
- Where were you last night? In transit back from PTown, then my apartment.
- Something you aren't? Decisive. I like to think it's because I'm a Libra- we're the scaaales, we have to weiiigh everything.
- Muffins? The best ones I ever made were for sure the carrot-oatmeal-apricot ones. I am making those again, fo sho. In terms of purchased, that Union Square sweet potato muffin was UP THERE.
- Wish list item? A camera that isn't horrible, an autumn coat that isn't hardcore parka territory but is warmer than the hoodies I've been wearing
- Where did you grow up? Spokane, WA
- Last thing you did? Made tea
- What are you wearing? Jeans, a stained tee, and a man's hoodie. I've looked better.
- Your TV? Ridiculously heavy. My dad got it for me, which was very sweet, but when a boy buys electronics, they always get the hugest, regardless if it's practical.
- Your pets? My two beloved kitties at home.
- Your friends? I am actually surprised at how much I still cherish my high school friends, because I was expecting us to drift apart. My best friend is the bestesty best.
- Your life? I'm definitely in "get me out of here" mode about college.
- Your mood? Midterms are hanging over me
- Missing someone? the fam
- Vehicle? at home I drive a Camry.
- Something you're not wearing? makeup. Almost never do.
- Your favorite store? In a dream world, Anthropologie. Their stuff is gorgey.
- Your favorite color? The green of growing things.
- When was the last time you laughed? My best friend's here at the mo, so it's pretty continual.
- Last time you cried? My lame birthday :(
- Your best friend? Lydia! She is on a chair next to me doing homework.
- One place that you go over and over? The park behind my house at home. I go there to turn my brain off.
- One person who emails me regularly? My aunt and I are on an email kick. We both have inappropriate senses of humor. It's great!
- Favorite place to eat? In DC, Al Tiramisu in Dupont Circle. Absolutely serenely lovely.
There will be more NYC and Provincetown posts. My pictures are scattered over various peoples computers where I uploaded them for safekeeping so I could take new pictures, due to my lack of memory card.

The Financial Services Board is currently looking at the second level of priorities in terms of the provision of financial advice and intermediary services to consumers of financial products. It called for "…contributions from industry associations on possible refinements to the definition of intermediary services in the current insurance laws and reforms to related remuneration structures."
The first change that took place resulted in the commission structure of investment products being radically changed, with advisors only receiving 50% of the commission upfront, and the balance being payable over 5 years.
The so-called "Work Stream 2" issues will now be addressed, with the focus on "intermediary status and related remuneration".
Where current practices or business models consistently fail to deliver fair outcomes for consumers in terms of ensuring products and services (including distribution models) are appropriate to the needs of the target market, advice is appropriate to client needs, and products deliver as per customers' reasonable expectations, then the Financial Services Board (FSB) will consider structural interventions to mitigate the risk of unfair customer outcomes.
Yesterday, a front page article in Rapport carried yet another story about a property development scheme gone sour. Propspec promised a 30% annual return on investment, which dried up four years ago, according to the article.
The simple question I want to ask is this: where is the root of the problem?
Does it lie with those marketing the product, or those who put it on the table?
The article on the Propspec scheme quotes liberally from a substantial investor who is an auditor. One would expect someone with his knowledge and experience to be very wary about investing in dodgy schemes.
The same question can be asked about most of the other investments that went belly up. Should those who were duped by the propagators of the schemes, be they investors or advisors, be held accountable, or those who "spun a web of lies and deceit…" according to the late Charles Pillai, commenting on Leaderguard?
Methinks that the FSB is barking up the wrong tree in its focus on intermediary status and related remuneration. They are treating the symptoms, while the Aids in the industry is not receiving the required attention.
An advisor who recommends a product is obligated to conduct a due diligence exercise prior to such a recommendation. Why should this be necessary when the provider was issued with a licence to do business by the regulator?
Who is beter equipped, or empowered, than the FSB, to test both product and applicant?
Is this not an obligation which should rest with the official watchdog, who is responsible for looking after the interests of the consumer? What then is the value of a licence approval? Surely this is the acid test before consumers are exposed to the product by advisors?
Getting back to the request for input from the industry:
Whether the product is recommended by an in-house advisor being paid commission, or an independent advisor receiving a fee from the client, it is still the same product.
Shooting the messenger does not address the underlying problem. As Shakespeare put it so aptly: "…and therein lies the rub".
While the root cause of the problem is not addressed, you can fire all the advisors in the industry, and the problem will remain.
In fact, it will worsen, without the eyes and ears of the honest advisor who often expose the fraudulent activities long before the authorities become aware of it.
There are other areas identified by the FSB that deserve far more urgent attention than definitions and remuneration models.

How to quickly select keywords for a site using online services?
Do you want your online store or another web resource to quickly move to the top of the search engines? Then you probably know that for this each of its pages should be optimized for specific search requests.
So, in this article we will consider:
- What are keywords?
- What are the online services for the selection of key queries?
- What's the difference between Keyword Planner and Yandex.Wordstat?
- How to get started with Keyword Planner?
- how to get started with Yandex.Wordstat?
- how to extend the list of keywords?
- caveats in optimizing pages.
What are keywords?
Keywords are queries that users search for search engines to retrieve information.
Those pages that correspond to the necessary queries and have the correct content, search engines will be considered more meaningful, which means - to raise them up to the top-10. That is why this issue should be given enough attention.
If before you there is a purpose - to advance Internet shop in the top, for you optimization of each existing and created page under keywords becomes necessary. This will enable potential customers to access the page of the web resource for a specific request. Optimizing pages is a prerequisite for modern search engines in the successful search engine promotion. Otherwise, your place will be taken by competitors.
This task is quite complicated and requires a professional approach, therefore, often, it is transferred to work for specialists. Specialists of web-studio NeoSeo will help to optimize your Internet-shop at search promotion.
However, there are situations when the customer wants to independently promote themselves ... In this case, online help for the selection of keywords will be necessary.
What are the online services for selecting key queries?
Depending on which search engine you choose keywords for, the following tools are used:
- Google AdWords: Keyword Planner;
- Yandex.Wordstat.
Note that these sources are used by almost all known descipt programs.
What are the differences between Keyword Planner and Yandex.Wordstat?
The Google Keyword Planner is an absolutely free tool that makes it possible to compile a list of keywords obtained from the requested key. With it, you can also get more advanced information on the search query:
- additional phrases;
- change in demand for seasons;
- recommended cost per click, etc.
Yandex.Wordstat shows statistics based on its search engine. The tool shows not only the requested keywords, but also one more column that displays similar search queries. This search engine is mainly used in the CIS countries, so you can specify the country or city for which you want to optimize the page or the entire site.
How to get started with Keyword Planner?
1. Registration. To access this tool, you need to register at
2. Search for keywords.
After successful registration, you will see a menu that contains the item "Search for new keywords by phrase, site or category." After clicking on the link, you will go to the form that you need to fill out correctly. Pay special attention to the following marks:
- the main word of the group;
- language of search;
- the desired country for site optimization;
- search engine;
- words that should not be displayed (for example, if a user searches for a bed in Lviv, he will not be interested in sites selling beds in Kazakhstan);
- refinement of the keyword filter;
- Definition with variations of keywords.
3. Results. Then press the "Get variants" button. Before you open a tablet containing all the requested information.
By browsing the functional, you can select the most necessary requests for promotion:
- variants of keywords (reduces the width of word output);
- negative keywords (a filter that filters out unnecessary queries);
- View statistics for specific cities and mobile devices.
4. Options and filters. The "Keyword Variations" tab allows you to view detailed information for each of the received queries. You can find out their frequency, the cost of a click and how many competitors they use.
The download option allows you to get the entire list of keywords in the desired resolution of the document.
To enable the filter, you just need to click on the "Keyword Filter" option, which is located in the "Search Parameters" column.
If you find unclear information, you can hover over the mouse to refine the information about the item of interest.
Keyword Planner is a universal service that can really make it much easier to search for key queries for a site promoted primarily through Google.
How to get started with Yandex.Wordstat?
This tool is also free, but its work is aimed at working with the search service Yandex.
1. Registration. Register the account in the Yandex system, and then click on the link:
2. Selection of words. Before you open the panel in which you can enter a search query, and then you need to click the "Pick up" button.
After that you will get the data of the keywords in the statistics for this query. On the left you will receive data on request and similar keys, and on the right - extended keywords searched by users in Yandex.
3. Filters. You can filter the information received for a specific region, region, city.
4. "History of requests". With this option you can see how the popularity of the request varies depending on the season.
Note that Yandex.Wordstat opens statistics only on the key query and its word forms. To get more accurate information, you need to use special operators:
- <">> - data on the phrase frequency;
- <!> - data on the exceptional frequency.
How to expand the list of keywords?
We will reveal to you one more little secret of optimization of a site - expansion of the received list of keywords. For this, search tips are used. This is the data that is displayed in the drop-down prompts of the search line. Thus, you can quickly expand your semantic kernel.
Pay attention to the block, located under the top queries - "along with this search." Here you will also find a lot of useful information for expanding the list of keywords.
Here are some simple online services for searching for keywords, work with which is very simple and does not take much time to optimize the pages.
Cautions in page optimization
Pay attention to the fact that search engines are "smart enough", so incorrect use of keywords can play a cruel joke with you. To avoid this, it is necessary to carefully study the requirements of each of the search engines and do not overdo the optimization of the page.
Remember that in the pursuit of top positions, many site owners forget about the main thing - their visitors. It does not matter if you fill the site with selling content or informative - it should be written and created, first of all, for people, not search engines. For example, in Yandex there are specialists who manually check the pages of top sites, and, if there is oversampling, or re-optimization, they can send the site to the ban. Therefore, always dose the number of keywords used.
We are happy to answer all your questions - please leave your comments. NeoSeo team wishes successful promotion of your web resource on search queries!

I'm trying to make a purchase, but my card keeps getting declined. How do I fix this?
This is mostly an issue for our American customers where banks are extremely vigilant about putting a hold on your credit card if they don't recognize a merchant for any reason, and we assume they are confused by the charge in CAD.
If you log into your credit card account online, and acknowledge the blocked charges as legitimate, this should clear the hold on your account, and allow future purchases from us to proceed unhindered. If you're still experiencing a problem, please contact us so that we can help you resolve the issue.

Oops! The launch of the Austin A90 Atlantic at the 1918 Earls Court Moto Show in London was a gallant but misguided attempt to create a postwar export winner, by appealing directly to the American market with a car that looked vaguely . . . American.
Unsurprisingly, the USA had plenty of American-styled ears of its own, and preferred imported vehicles to have the cachet of patently European design. Sadly for Austin, this meant that the Atlantic was successful on neither side of the Atlantic – despite heroic marketing efforts that included rally outings and record attempts – and production was ended in 1952 after fewer that 8,000 of these distinctive vehicles had been built .
It's a pity, because these streamlined two-door cars are certainly appreciated (and appreciating in value) today. The first Atlantics were convertibles with an interesting optional power-operated mechanism to close the hood. A hardtop sports coupe version followed in 1949 which had an unusual wind- down rear window. In fact, the styling wasn't truly American, but did include a rounded front end with five chrome strips and central fog lamp, plus bravura touches like a 'Flying A' mascot on each wing as well as the central Austin winged motif. Those teardrop wings swept down to a sloping tail with enclosed rear wheels.
It also sported novel flashing traffic indicators rather than the more usual semaphore arms and offered optional hydraulically operated windows and an Ecko radio.
But the Americans still weren't convinced, and only a few hundred were sold in the States, though buyers in Europe and British Commonwealth countries were more easily impressed and nearly half the total production run was exported to Scandinavia and Australasia. Few examples of this interesting failure have survived, as handling was poor and rust-proofing wasn't a priority.
FIRST manufactured;
1948 (until 1952)
2,660 cc Straight four
A top speed of 92 mph (148 km/h) was claimed, with a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 16.6 secs
The A90 was not replaced when it was discontinued, though the engine lived on in the classic Austin Healey 100 sports car and another Austin A90 appeared in 1954 – though this was the entirely different Westminster model.

En encounter between dance and paper, where luminous forms become new territories, haunting sculptures that breathe.
Cocons somatiques is imbued with a sub-aquatic metaphor, with bodies cohabiting the stage space with cocoons, strange organic sculptures that bewitch and transform them, aided by visual and poetic intrigues created by the visual artist Manon De Pauw, and brought to life in danced metamorphoses by Pierre-Marc Ouellette. From this transformation emerge silhouettes and identities, sired by strangeness and mystery.

Andre Luiz Campos Cerutti
Mr. Andre Luiz Campos Cerutti - Mestre Peixe's achievement in 2004 was the highest belt of Capoeira, the black belt, from the founders of Capoeira Brasil and guests Mestre Acordeon, Mestre "Antonio" Vargas, Mestre Lobão, Mestre Peixinho, Mestre Gato, Mestre Hulk, Mestre Rã, Mestre Ramos, Mestre Cabeça, Mestre Indio, Mestre Girino, Mestre Naval, Mestre Mão Branca, Mestre Paulão and Mestre Boneco.
André Cerutti was given his capoeira nickname by Mestre Boneco at his first grading. The name Peixe Ensaboado means 'slippery fish'.
Mestre Peixe was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil on the 25th January 1969 and began his training with Mestre Boneco in 1985. Prior to this he had trained in a number of martial arts, but found Capoeira captured his attention after watching a display by Mestre Boneco.
After joining his family in Australia in 1992, Mestre Peixe hoped to train Australians in the same way he was trained in Brasil. From small beginnings, hundreds of people have been introduced to Capoeira through Mestre Peixe. Some of these have gone on to qualify as Capoeira instructors and teachers and continue to work with Peixe under the Group Capoeira Brasil banner.
Mestre Peixe has helped to contribute hugely to the standard of Capoeira in Australia. He has brought many of the great Capoeira Mestres out to Australia for workshops and festivals and has given demonstrations, festival performances and made appearances in film and television.

I knew about them but have always been confused about which means what. Thanks for this little bit of helpful information!
French Etiquette: Silent Communication Using Silverware
When eating at a fine restaurant in France, there is a silent code diners use with forks and knives to talk to waiters. A sort of sign language via le couteau and la fourchette.
As an American I was unaware of this table etiquette when I first arrived, but with just a few moves you can master it. This communication also exists in the United States, but the positions are a bit different and I find it is more widely used in France.
"I'm still eating, just taking a break"
This position expresses that you are still enjoying your dish, but just resting your silverware. The first is the "European" style and your knife and fork can cross or not. The "American" style on the bottom is quite different and I'm not sure it would be understood in France.
Don't put your silverware on the table while eating because it may stain the tablecloth. Crumbs can be removed between courses, stains can't.
"I'm done with this course"
This position signals that the waiter can take your dish away.
The "European" and "American" signals for being done with a dish are the same, just with the fork tines facing different directions. But unless you are dining with the president, I wouldn't worry about the tines so much.
"I'm completely done eating"
If you are enjoying a long, multi-course meal, this is the signal that you are completely done eating.
These signals are very simple, and once you know about them you will notice a lot of people using them. I find that here in France this type of communication is most commonly used in fine dining and gastronomy restaurants.
Did you know about this silverware sign language before coming to France? Any other signals you've learned? Leave a comment and share!

Dear Brother Wolf Supporters,
As Brother Wolf's new Executive Director, it's important to me to keep you updated and to be transparent about the status of the sanctuary. Since starting my job at the end of January, I have been working hard to understand all aspects of this organization and to ensure that our animals are well cared for, now and into the future.
What's clear is that the sanctuary project was founded by a team of deeply passionate individuals who wanted the best for the animals in our community who require long term medical or behavioral rehabilitation. What is also clear is that lofty goals were set, resulting in an overly optimistic project scope, timeline, and budget.
To better understand the entirety of the sanctuary project, I will be reviewing financials, meeting with past and present project contractors, speaking with donors who gave to the project, and conferring with Brother Wolf's Board of Directors, management team, and staff members. We'd also love to hear from you, our valued supporters. Please click here to give your feedback through our anonymous online survey.
Moving through these steps will take time, and I humbly ask for your patience as I sort through four years' worth of information related to the sanctuary. I value honesty and transparency, and believe our community deserves it. I will know more about the status of the project within a few months and will keep you updated about how we will be moving forward.
It is still a long term goal to have a facility that addresses the needs of those animals who require long term medical and behavioral rehabilitation. In the meantime, we will continue this work at our Adoption Center and through our network of incredible foster homes.
Thank you for your continued support for the animals, and for all that we have — and will — accomplish together for animals in need.
Leah Craig Fieser
Executive Director
P.S. Please stop by our Adoption Center at 31 Glendale Avenue in Asheville to spend some time with our animals and learn how you can get involved in our No-Kill mission!

Five Favorite Apps For The Digital Dad
As a guest recently on Randi Zuckerberg's SiriusXM Radio Show I was asked to provide five of my favorite apps as a "digital dad." My kids are teenagers and I don't think there are apps I use specifically for parenting, so I took a bit of a different approach in the hope that the listeners would find at least one that they liked.
We live in a mixed phone family with both iPhones and Androids in the house so I wanted to only share apps that work on both.
Travel is a big part of my life and I'll book speaking engagements sometimes as far out as a year in advance. TripIt keeps all of my details for traveling organized and up to date.
I've been a paying customer for years and last year had the opportunity to appear in their latest commercial.
As the person who does the majority of the grocery shopping and cooking in our house, I'm always forgetting to pick something up at the store.
After looking around and trying out several different shared grocery list apps, our family has decided on using Bring!
It works on both iOS and Android and it simply works. The kids or my wife can see and add to the lists whenever they need to. I also love that as I'm about to go to the store I can push out a notification to let them know if they have any last minute additions it needs to be now.
Parents need to use the tools their kids are using so that they are both educated about them, but also to communicate with them.
My teenagers use this to communicate with their friends all the time and by following their stories I get to peek a little inside of their lives outside of the house.
It also allows them to stay in touch with me when I'm on the road and to follow along on my travels by following what I create and share.
One of the reasons I love photography and take so many photos is I love being having a way to look back at the past.
Every day I open up Timehop and I'm presented with checkins, posts and photos of what I was doing on that exact day over the past eight years.
This morning it was showing me photos from our family trip to Atlantis six years ago and tomorrow something else on it will make me smile.
If you post on social media, I can't understand why you wouldn't be using this.
Laura has really gotten into the world of geocaching so this app comes in handy.
No matter where we are in the world, we can open it up and see if there are any hidden treasures nearby.
This is an activity that anyone can participate in and it gets that family off of the couch and out in nature.
I do have to add a late addition to this that might not be perfect for parenting, but it sure does help with this parent's sanity and that is the latest Verizon FiOS apps.
I recently forgot to set up recording of a few new shows and got in trouble for it, but quickly added them from my phone while away from the house. Any app that can help me calm down an angry teenager is a good one in my book and these certainly did that so thank you!
What apps are you and your family using?
Any break out hits that I've got to try?
