Fallen Arches: Give Your Flat Feet the Support They Deserve
We've all heard the term "flat feet". But what does being flat footed actually mean? Contrary to flat footed jokes you may have heard from your friends in school, having flat feet from fallen arches can cause weakness and pain throughout your body. This article will examine what fallen arches are, the causes of fallen arches, and solutions available to help with flat feet.
The Anatomy of Your Foot
Your foot is truly a powerhouse all on its own, containing one quarter of the bones in your entire body and made up of three main parts: The forefoot contains five toes and their connecting bones called metatarsals. The midfoot's tarsal bones make up the arch, which serves as a shock absorber as you walk and run. The hindfoot has three primary joints that connect the midfoot to the ankle and two long bones that form a hinge that allows your foot to move up and down. Within these three parts, your foot has over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments that support each other and work together to provide support and flexible motion. With such an intricate process as this, any single abnormality can cause problems that are felt across the entire body. One such issue is fallen arches.
What Are Fallen Arches?
Remember how the midfoot makes up the arch in your foot? For someone who is flat footed, this arch doesn't exist. In a normal adult foot, tendons in the foot and lower leg act as tight bands that attach to the tarsal bones in the midfoot to create an upward curve, or "arch". When the tendons are not pulling properly or acting as that tight band that connects with the bones, that upward curve disappears and results in flat feet.
This is caused from various issues like birth abnormalities, stretched or torn tendons, broken bones, nerve problems, and health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Fallen arches result in weakened tendons, ligaments, and muscles in your feet, hurt your posture, and lead to pain in your feet, legs, hips, and lower back.
How to Support Flat Arches
Flat feet can lead to more serious issues like shin splints, bunions, hammer toe, arthritis, and other conditions that can prevent you from walking, running, and participating in daily activities without discomfort and pain. Exercises for flat feet can help strengthen the tendons and ligaments and provide more arch support. There are also arch support insoles and products that can add the support and stability you lack with fallen arches:
Arch Support Insoles for Fallen Arches
Orthotic insoles aren't a cure for flat feet, but they can help provide extra cushion and stability to help support your feet and lower body. The Pinnacle Full Length Insoles are designed with a firm but flexible support shell, built-in foot support and heel cradle for motion control. When dealing with fallen arches, these insoles provide maximum cushioning for increased stability and comfort in any shoe you wear.
Further Arch Support for Flat Feet
If orthotic insoles aren't enough, there are other solutions that can help give you arch support. Another solution is arch boosters. Arch boosters are latex foam pads that you can place inside your shoes to better support your fallen arches. If the arches of your feet are completely gone and you're extremely flat footed, arch boosters work alongside orthotic insoles to give you higher arch support.
Fallen arches are detrimental to your feet and other parts of your body, and can negatively affect your day-to-day activities. Exercises focused on building arch support and leveraging arch support orthotic insoles and arch boosters can help improve flat feet and make it easier to walk, run, and go about your day more comfortably.

Radon Gas
All basement waterproofing work is subject to guidance given in BS 8102. The standard requires all waterproofing designers to take account of the risk of 'Ground Gasses', which over time could penetrate into a basement and present a health risk to occupants.
Radon is one of the naturally occurring ground gasses and is present in some quantities everywhere. It is a radioactive gas which is both colourless and odourless and comes from radioactive decay of radium deep under the earth. Radon has only been measured to any extent for around 50 years, but epidemiological studies provide strong evidence of association between exposure to indoor radon and lung cancer.
Radon gas can seep into enclosed spaces (e.g. Buildings), collect and build up; the levels reached are dependent upon atmospheric conditions, the structure of the building, local geology and ventilation. Basements are particularly susceptible to large accumulations, as there is a greater area in contact with the soil and radon tends to be heavier than air and will 'pool' in basements, rather like water will collect in a sump.
Due to the underlying geology and varying amounts of uranium present in the ground, properties in certain areas of the UK are more likely to contain high levels of radon gas. Although some properties are situated in a "non-affected" area it could still be affected with high levels of radon gas. Similarly, some properties in "affected areas" may not be affected by radon at all. Radon maps were not designed with basements in mind, so they cannot be used to reliably identify radon levels in individual properties.
In preparing our initial waterproofing specification, an assumption is made that radon levels are at or below the currently specified 'safe' level. However, in the light of the above, the best and safest way of determining this is to carry out radon testing.
This takes some time because radon levels fluctuate through days or weeks so we cannot say whether we initially need to specify extra protection to keep levels down.
All our client can decide to have testing carried out in advance of commencing their basement waterproofing project, so our specification can take account of the radon levels (if they are high), or you can ask for an enhanced waterproofing specification to keep radon down anyway (though the cost may be wasteful if levels are low), or you can commence without any radon testing, provided you are comfortable with the potential risks. Where radon is concerned you are in charge of any decisions, but we believe that you should be able to face these choices with good, accurate information.
Testing over periods of less than three months may not be completely accurate because radon penetration can ebb and flow over long periods. If this delay is not a problem then a three month test is recommended. However, meaningful testing can be done over 30 days. We do not recommend testing at shorter periods but subject to your instruction – 10 and 7 days periods can be offered as a guide only.
A written report is then produced with advice on what if any, action should be considered. This is an important document because even if radon levels are low, a written report confirming this will give you confidence that your family are not at risk spending time in the basement (this is especially important if bedrooms are included). In addition, the radon issue is growing in importance and the media are now reporting on it; if you wish to sell the property or raise finance on it in the future, a 'clear' radon status or a radon proofed basement system will be desirable.
For further information on Radon testing for basements, please contact us.

Steve Poltz is not normal. He was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada) but has lived most of his life in Southern California and those geographic poles are quite likely responsible for his unhinged genius. He is a dual citizen – Canada/USA – but has often said that, "should a hostage situation arise, I become conveniently Canadian."
Steve Poltz is known for his live shows and owns a crowd when he's on stage. His shows are the stuff of legend. He can take an unsuspecting audience from laughter to tears and back again in the space of a single song. He is a master of improvisational songwriting and works without a set list to be free to react instantly to the mood of a room.

Every educator who works in a DCPS classroom today owes DCPS retirees a debt of gratitude.
Retirees built the Washington Teachers' Union (WTU) as a union dedicated to creating and sustaining the conditions it takes to ensure that each and every student in Washington, D.C., receives a world-class education.
Retirees fought for and won the benefits they and active members enjoy.
Moreover, a growing number of members of the WTU Retirees Chapter are deeply involved in working to improve the DC community and in efforts to ensure excellence in DC public education. Several work to support pro-education candidates in DC elections and others run for public offices themselves.
Today more than ever active teachers look to retirees for guidance.

Even America's left wingers, like National Journal, thought Donald Trump's running mate, Governor Mike Pence, soundly trounced Senator Tim Kaine in last night's Vice Presidential debate.
Kaine looked like he drank one too many Red Bulls as he interrupted, interjected and generally showed Americans, most of whom have never seem or heard him, his real personality. Pence calmly and coolly countered each of Kaine's lunatic rants.
Pence drilled Kaine on Hillary's plans to raise taxes, grow the government and even grant Amnesty to illegal aliens, which Kaine confirmed last night.
Pence pointed out that his own record as Governor of Indiana led to cuts in taxes, growth in jobs and a 2 billion dollar state surplus, while Kaine's time as Governor of Virginia included proposing massive tax hikes, unemployment growth, and a two billion dollar state deficit.
Kaine attacked Trump for taking legal tax deductions twenty years ago.
Pence and the rest of us wondered out loud whether Kaine pays more in taxes every year than the law says he owes. We know Hillary doesn't, because last year she took the same kind of tax deductions she's bashing Trump for taking.
And now…here's Tim Kaine's 72 Interruptions from last night.

Marina Spadafora is a world renowned italian fashion designer known for her chic and sophisticated collection of knits. Marina has collaborated with fashion houses such a Ferragamo, Prada and Miu Miu. As an established designer in the industry Marina has linked African Designers with European Retailers to give them the opportunity to expand their brand and build a sustainable business relationship with one another.
Today Marina is on a mission as a project leader for the Fashion Development UN program with Italian's Vogue Director Franca Sozzani to bring awareness to the unfair work conditions in garment factories around the world.
I was given an amazing opportunity to sit down one on one with Marina and discuss her journey and "Fashion with a Mission" project.
Stay Tune for the full interview!
As consumers we forget how the garment made its way to our favorite stores. Marina opened my eyes to this very troublesome issue happening across the world in factories where workers are not being paid fairly and work in harsh conditions. As fashion students we are taught the step by step process of where and how the garment is made, but we forget that along that process not everything is being looked over.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in 1911 was one of the most tragic industrial disasters in the history of New York. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was know to produce the popular women blouses know as the shirtwaist. On March 25th, 1911 as the women worked long hours, in cramped spaces for a low wages a fire broke out. Unfortunately, the company policy was to lock the doors during work hours therefore made it very difficult to escape the flames. A few workers were fortunate to get out through the elevator before it shut down or to escape on to the roof. There were a great number of casualties and it took this devastating incident for labor laws, fire and safety laws to be implemented.
Today Bangladesh garment workers strike over low wags and better working conditions. This issue is not an issue of the past but of the present, we forget that all though we have laws in the United States and try to regulate the factories across seas there are still workers working in factories with little pay and inhuman conditions.
Marina Spadafora brings awareness to this issue by doing presentations in colleges to educate students and by working with the United Nation.
Due to the fact that the public isn't aware of this issue there isn't a way to get involved. Marina is a designer and a professor in Italy. She would love to teach in New York and take her students to see how the garment factories operate across the world.
Thank You Marina for coming to Berkeley College!

From St. Moritz, I boarded the train in the afternoon towards Tirano, where I changed to the Italian rapid train to Milan. It was a relatively easy ride but tiring at the same time as I reached Milan past dinner time. The Four Points Milan Center is located 2 blocks away from the Milano Centrale station and should be reached about 10 minutes away on foot. However if guests have plenty of luggage, it is perhaps best to arrive via taxi. Another thing to note was that there are some construction and upgrading works in and around the hotel which could restrict access.
Otherwise the hotel is quite easy to find and on entering the small hotel lobby, I was assisted by a front desk agent who checked me in. The process was fairly straight forward and he did mention I was upgraded based on my SPG Platinum membership, at the same time indicating breakfast would be served in the restaurant, including the 250 bonus points as an welcome amenity.
While I was assigned a room with the number 1518, there was not a 15th floor as the room was instead on the 5th floor. It was also nice to see I was assigned to a room near the elevators which I sometimes prefer for a normal city hotel where the view is not something I need.
Room No: 1518 Category: Executive Room
From the hotel floorplan, the assigned room I was assigned seems to be one of the larger rooms. For a one night stay, I did not ask for any suite upgrade, and it was nice to have been upgraded without me even asking since I had originally reserved for a Classic room which is the most basic. The room has a nice layout whereby the bedroom was not visible on entry. Instead it was a small foyer with a closet and a cabinet where the coffee machine was located.
The bedroom proper is located when you turn left from the foyer and is thus shielded from the main door. Inside there is a good sized Queen bed with bedside tables facing towards the window.
Across from the bed is a work desk and TV cabinet in the corner. A chest of drawers sit beside the cabinet, while an armchair and side table is located at the other corner. A luggage rack was set up by the windows. Furnishing inside the room was quite old but it was still usable. It shows this was one of the rooms that was yet to be renovated, while noting that this hotel is undergoing renovation and should have modern fitted rooms in the future.
In addition to the TV, there was a telephone on the desk, but what I liked was the power outlets and various output connectivity below the TV. This made it convenient for guests to charge their devices and connect any external source to be played on the TV. In addition, a Handy smartphone was provided inside the room for guests to have free online access along with the ability to make calls while touring Milan. This was the first time I saw it in a European hotel as I have encountered the same device in some Asian hotels in Hong Kong and Singapore.
Another impressive feature of the Executive Room was the bathroom which featured both a walk-in shower cubicle and a bathtub. This is normally something one sees in higher end hotels, so I did like this room for it even if the walk-in shower was somewhat small. The bathroom also has a bidet, common in many European lodging.
Like all Four Points Hotel I have been to, the shampoo and shower gel was wall mounted. Though I brought my own amenities so it was no matter. Guests should know that the lower tier hotels branded Four Points, aloft and element under the SPG portfolio uses common wall mounted amenities. So if you are particular about these, bringing your own bath amenities is recommended. It is another reason why I usually take some of the better bath amenities from my past hotel stays as you never know when they might come in handy.
However, the bathroom did have a nice range of toiletries provided to guests like shower cap, and individual lotions for use.
Breakfast in the hotel was served in the Restaurant Nectare which takes some time to find one needs to navigate the stairs since one of the section is not opened for breakfast. It was not exactly the largest space nor the most comfortable to dine in.
On the table I was seated at, there was a breakfast menu which indicated the buffet which was complimentary for me would have cost EUR20 (~$19). As I was seated, I was asked if I would like anything to drink, and I was able to order a cappuccino.
The breakfast buffet has the standard selection of scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages.
There are hard boiled eggs, mushrooms and potatoes as well.
Other food in the breakfast buffet are the usual cheese and cold cuts, salads and smoked salmon.
An interesting addition was a cabinet in the corner beside the chiller containing the yogurts. This cabinet has drawers that contains different kinds of bread, biscuits and crackers.
There is also an automated pancake machine, something usually found in US Airport lounges.
There was another corner containing various several croissants and pies as well as sweet cakes with a variety of preserves dispenser. The breakfast was adequate but it was not worth EUR 20 in my mind.
Aside from the restaurant, there was a bar located steps away from the lobby where guests could get a drink at night. There is also a table soccer outside the bar for entertainment.
Lastly, there is a fitness centre for guests to use. Though the space is not huge, there was a good range of equipments from treadmills and cycling machines to weights and benches. There is also the odd massage chair outside the fitness centre.
Another thing that I saw was a Smart car that was labelled as a courtesy car though I never found out whether it was a particular complimentary service. As a SPG Platinum member I was also able to get a late check-out at 4pm with no problems whatsoever.
My stay for the one night costs EUR152 inclusive of taxes and this was not cheap for a Four Points but it was in the lower range for one night in Milan. Due to the age of the room and really limited range of amenities and breakfast for guests, I would not call it the best value and I would rather stay elsewhere which is what I did for my next night in Milan.

When you find yourself unhappy in your relationship it may be time to make some changes. Do your best to stay positive and not let little issues turn into large arguments. Realize that you cannot change your partner, but you can change yourself. When you put effort into bettering yourself, it can inspire your partner to do the same. If you feel like your relationship issues are more than you can handle, try couples counseling.
Stop Being a Negativity Nelly
You cannot change your relationship, if negative thoughts rule your mind. Stop complaining about every thing your partner does. Start looking for ways to stay positive, advises medical doctor and life coach Susan Biali in her article, "Five Ways to Save Your Love Relationship." Does your partner come home late without calling? Do not sit around fuming in anger waiting to yell at him when he walks in the door. Use that time to read a book, or call a friend. Do what you can to stay in a positive frame of mind.
Stop Trying to Win
All couples fight at some point. When all you care about is winning an argument you will find yourself in a power struggle with your partner, says psychologist Margaret Paul in her article, "7 Ways To Improve Your Relationship." Instead of trying to be right, stop fighting and listen to your partner. Speak in calm, rational tones. Try to see the issues from your partner's point of view. Let go of trying to control your partner and realize you are both on the same team.
Creating Change
If you are unhappy in your relationship look for what you can change about yourself, like practicing more patience, or better communication skills. Do not focus on what your partner needs to change, because you have no control over what he does, advises professor of Family Sciences Douglas A. Abbott in his article "Change Yourself and Change Your Marriage." When you attempt to change your partner, he will most likely resist and become defensive. When you work on changing your behavior, you act as an inspiration to your partner. When he sees you making positive changes, he may want to join you.
Seek Counseling
Many couples do not seek counseling until it is too late. When a couple seeks counseling following a couple troublesome months, as opposed to years, there is a better chance at saving the relationship, says psychologist Margarita Tartakovsky in her article, "8 Surprising Myths About Relationships." A counselor can provide the couple with tools to be used throughout the life of the relationship. Counselors can teach trust, communication and compromise exercises to the couple. Couples therapy may be the best way to change an unhappy relationship.

RIP Cheetah...
Cheetah, 80, R.I.P.
December 27, 2011 by Don Surber
The good folks at the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor, Florida, spared us all a sad holiday by waiting until today to announce:
"It is with great sadness that the community has lost a dear friend and family member on December 24, 2011. Cheetah, star of the Tarzan films, passed away after kidney failure during the week of December 19, 2011. The Sanctuary's residents and volunteers would like to thank all of the community members for their continued support as the Sanctuary continues to expand on the legacy and foundation Cheetah continues to oversee as he watches over his supporters, friends, and family."
Although he appeared in only a few Johnny Weissmuller movies in the early 1930s, Cheetah-Mike was the Cheetah for a generation of children who watched the old black-and-white movies in the early years of television. He was also the inspiration for Blip in the cartoon series Space Ghost. Face it, Blip was the real hero who every week had to rescue Space Ghost after the twins landed him in trouble.
He lived in captivity about three times longer than he would have in the wild. Debbie Cobb, the sanctuary's outreach director, told the Tampa Tribune: "He wasn't a chimp that caused a lot of problems… He was very compassionate. He could tell if I was having a good day or a bad day. He was always trying to get me to laugh if he thought I was having a bad day. He was very in tune to human feelings."
He spent about half his life at the sanctuary. In some ways, he wound up better than many a Hollywood movie star of that era.

Areas of work
Priorities for joint work are set out in the biennial collaborative agreement (BCA) between WHO/Europe and Kyrgyzstan.
Priorities for joint work are set out in the biennial collaborative agreement (BCA) between WHO/Europe and Kyrgyzstan.
In Kyrgyzstan, we have supported the Government for over 25 years - since the country became a WHO Member State in 1992. Our goal is to build a better, healthier future for the people of Kyrgyzstan.
WHO has been providing assistance to Kyrgyzstan in all emergency situations for more than 20 years. Currently, its focus is on helping the country scale up implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005), build capacity for dealing with disasters and improve preparedness for infectious disease outbreaks.
In 2015, Kyrgyzstan began to implement the WHO Better Labs for Better Health initiative. Under this initiative, WHO leads and coordinates the efforts of national health authorities, donors and development partners to build national laboratory capacity on different levels.
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart and lung diseases, cancer, and diabetes account for 80% of all deaths in Kyrgyzstan. Surveys conducted in Kyrgyzstan with the support of WHO have shown a high prevalence of risk factors among the population.
In 2017, Kyrgyzstan introduced 3 new laws on medicines and medical devices. This was an important step towards establishing equitable access to quality essential medicines. National health authorities worked on developing these laws for several years, and WHO actively contributed to the process and promoted the adoption.
Street food is a widely accessible and inexpensive source of food in central Asia. However, it can contain high levels of salt and trans fats, which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The Twelfth General Programme of Work provides a high-level strategic vision for the work of WHO for the period 2014–2019. It reflects the three main components of WHO reform: programmes and priorities, governance and management.
Health 2020 is the health policy framework for the European region. It aims to support action across government and society to significantly improve the health and well-being of populations, reduce health inequalities, strengthen public health and ensure people-centred health systems that are universal, equitable, sustainable and of high quality.

The Bigelow Mine is located northeast of Hillsboro, New Mexico.
The Bigelow mine is known by a number of variants, including Big-Low, Bigelow, Bigelow Group, and Bigelow Mine - the most common reference found on the web. In "The Geology and Ore Deposits of Sierra County, New Mexico" by George Townsend Harley it is referred to as the Bigelow Group (p. 144). The Bigelow claims were in a valley at about 6,000 feet on the west slope of Richmond Mountain. The valley to the north is where the Garfield/Butler Mine Group was and the Bonanza Mine was located in the valley to the south. Harley (ibid. p 145) believed that the vein that was worked at the Big-Low Mine was an extension of the vein mined at the Mary Richmond Mine on the east side of Richmond Mountain.
Federico Antonio Chavez Luna describes working at this mine in his video interview.
When Steve Elam and I explored this location on March 12, 2015, we found that the main shaft at the Big-Low Mine was finished by boards on all sides for the first 90 feet (framegrab above from video taken by Elam at about 90 feet). Video of the shaft can be viewed on "Mines of the Hillsboro Mining District - Volume One"and "Mines of the Hillsboro Mining District - Volume 2", these video are also embedded below.
In Bulletin 39, "The Metal Resources of New Mexico and Their Economic Features Through 1954" by Eugene Carter Anderson for the State Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources (published in 1957) it states that "The Anderson Extension, Biglow, El Oro, Snake, Black Peak, and Portland properties were worked for short periods in 1950 and 1951. In 1952 the district produced 125 ounces of gold." (p. 124)
The "Diggings" website notes that A. L. Bird (Frederico Antonio Chavez Luna's step-father) owned this mine from 1935 until 1950. In 1950 Manuel L. Trujillo obtained ownership. The mine first started production in 1885 and the last year of production was 1950. Gold, lead, and zinc are all present in the mining group. "The Bigelow claims consist of two northeast trending parallel oxidized veins which follow along latite dikes emplaced within fault-fracture zones. The western vein was reported to be 3 feet wide. The eastern vein was reported to be 12 to 18 inches wide and mineralized the full length of a 400 foot tunnel. The mine consists of three unpatented claims."
The gold ore specimen from the Bigelow Mine shown below is housed in the Mineral Museum of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro, New Mexico.
Next to the headframe (see photo above) of the main shaft is a stone hut (photos above and below from March 12, 2015) which housed the winch which was used to lower and raise miners and ore. The winch is gone but in March 2015 a barrel stove was located in the corner.
There are two shafts at the Big-Low Mine, both are deep and vertical. The sides of the shafts are unstable so great care is warranted. A fall would be fatal. The photo below is of the second shaft, which does not have a headframe. The fencing around the shaft is in disrepair. The sides of the shaft have calved over time and are very unstable. This shaft is about 100' deep and appears to have a lateral mine to the north at that depth.
The two photographs below were taken from across the ravine to the north and show the mine on December 16, 2007.

I loved every minute of this TEFL class. It was an unforgettable, fun and superb informative experience. The people I worked with were all incredible, and I have absolutely zero complaints. I am so sad it had to end! The observations were really helpful in showing me how lessons are taught and the different ways teachers can approach a TEFL class.I came here without any experience teaching and after this month I feel very ready and confident to teach students in a fun and effective way. The school also arranged my accommodation at a super nice shared apartment close to the school, in a great location, my roommate is a very kind person from Argentina who helps me with Spanish and with daily household essentials. Florencia and Leila were amazing coaches and made me very excited to teach.

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he was considering scaling back an effort that could have cut billions of dollars in foreign aid and would decide on the proposal – which faces strong opposition in Congress – within days.
Trump administration officials have said they are reviewing State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development spending with an eye to using a budget process known as "rescission to slash up to $4.3 billion in spending that had already been approved by the Senate and House of Representatives.
"We're looking at it and we're looking at it in different ways, and we're talking to Republicans and Democrats about it," Trump told reporters at the White House.
He said "certain things" could be cut, but others might not be. "But we are looking at it and we have some things that are on the table very much. We'll let you know over the next probably sooner than a week," Trump said.
Many members of Congress, including some of Trump's fellow Republicans as well as Democrats, have called on the administration to cancel, or pare back, its plans. The administration also tried to use rescissions to cut foreign aid last year, but lawmakers thwarted that plan.
Opponents say the plan – developed within weeks of Trump signing a two-year budget deal into law – could imperil lawmakers' future willingness to negotiate spending deals with the White House.
Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives, wrote to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on Friday citing the Government Accountability Office's finding that such a use of rescissions was not legal.
Many sources said they expected the issue would end up in court if Trump pressed ahead with it instead of working with Congress.
Sources familiar with administration discussions said Trump's team was divided over the spending plan. Senior officials had said last week they expected it to be sent to Congress on Tuesday, or no later than Wednesday.
According to the sources, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and USAID Director Mark Green were among administration officials urging Trump to drastically pare back the rescission plan. Mick Mulvaney, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, was among those pushing for the cuts.
Opponents of the plan argued that funding programs that fight poverty, empower women, support education and promote global health – which account for less than 1 percent of the U.S. budget – are worthwhile investments that save on security costs in the long run.
More than 90 non-governmental organizations signed a letter sent to congressional leaders on Monday urging Congress to end the administration's repeated efforts to use rescissions to cut congressionally approved aid funds.
Many who object to the plan also say Trump's use of the rescission loophole is an effort to sidestep Congress' power, spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, to determine how money is spent.
Administration officials had said the proposed cuts would not affect efforts championed by those closest to Trump, including his daughter Ivanka's Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative and Vice President Mike Pence's "religious freedom" programs intended to protect Christians, Yazidis and other members of religious minorities in the Middle East.

MADISON—John H. Fett passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at his home on Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018. John was born on May 7, 1932, in Plymouth, Wis., to Walter and Lily (Weber) Fett. Growing up in Plymouth, John was active in FFA and 4-H, played the clarinet in his school's band, and worked on his family's farm. He continued to work on the farm, kept bees, and produced maple syrup for eight years after his 1950 graduation from Plymouth High School. He then enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Agricultural Journalism and Ph.D. in Mass Communication. John was hired as an instructor at the university in 1962 and joined the faculty of the Department of Agricultural Journalism (now Life Sciences Communication) as a professor in 1967.
In 1967, John spent three years at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre, Brazil, with a U.S. Agency for International Development program. It is here where he met his wife, Neiva. They were married in 1970 and returned to Madison. They spent nine months in Brasilia, Brazil, in 1976 when John was awarded a Fulbright-Hays scholarship. John served as chair of his department from 1977 to 1982. He spent his career teaching classes in radio, film, and publications. His research focused on development communication, information program evaluation, theory and practice of communication in rural development in developing countries, and evaluation of extension and other education information programs. He was passionate about his work and made wonderful, life-long friends of colleagues and students.
While John loved his work, his family was what was most important to him. He and Neiva and their children, Ana and Steven, enjoyed family vacations, holiday fun, Sunday afternoons on the golf course, and just spending time together. In retirement, John enjoyed making his grandchildren laugh, working on his golf game (in vain, he would say), cooking special meals, working in the yard, participating in a men's group at Bethel Lutheran Church, producing beautiful stained glass and wood working projects, and tackling a nightly crossword puzzle with Neiva.
John is survived by his wife of 47 years, Neiva; children, Ana (Jason) Stephens and Steven (Sayaka) Fett; sister, Jane Behrens; and grandchildren, Evelyn, Brady and Samantha Stephens. He was preceded in death by his parents and sisters, Carol and Helen Fett.
You have free articles remaining.
John was a wonderful husband, father, father-in-law, grandpa and friend. He will be missed more than we can say.
An informal open house will be held for family and friends on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018, from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. at the family home. In lieu of flowers, friends may donate to The American Heart Association: www.heart.org. To view and sign this guestbook, please visit www.ryanfuneralservice.com.

According to the Center for Disease Control, over 29 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes is a condition that occurs when the body stops naturally producing a hormone called insulin. Insulin converts the sugar, or glucose, we eat into energy. The glucose provides the cells in the muscles, tissues, and brain with the necessary energy to function. All types of diabetes prevent the body from processing glucose in an effective way, either due to the lack of insulin or a resistance to insulin. This leads to complications. If you recognize the symptoms and risk factors of diabetes, you can recognize that you might have diabetes and get tested.[1]
Method 1 of 3:
Diagnosing Type 1 Diabetes
1Distinguish Type 1. Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile or insulin dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition most often diagnosed in children. However, it can be diagnosed during any point in a patient's life. When a patient has Type 1, the pancreas makes little to no insulin. In most cases, this is due to the body's immune system mistakenly attacking and destroying the insulin producing cell in the pancreas. Since the body is not producing enough insulin, the glucose in your blood cannot be converted to energy. This also means that the glucose will build up in your blood stream, causing problems.
2Recognize the symptoms. The symptoms of Type 1 include frequent urination, excessive thirst, extreme hunger, unusual and rapid weight loss, irritability, increased fatigue, and blurry vision. The symptoms are severe and typically come on within a few weeks or months. These symptoms can also be mistaken for the flu at first.[4]
- An additional symptom in children may include sudden and uncharacteristic occurrences of bedwetting.
- Women may also develop yeast infections.
3Take the Glycated Hemoglobin (A1C) test. This test is used to determine Type 1 diabetes and prediabetes. A blood sample is taken and sent to a lab. The lab measures the amount of blood sugar attached to the hemoglobin in the blood. This reflects the patient's blood sugar levels over the past two or three months. This test results vary by the age of the person being tested. Children can have a higher percentage than adults.[5]
- If there is 5.7% or less sugar attached to the hemoglobin, the levels are normal. If the percentage is 5.7% to 6.4%, the adult patient has prediabetes. If the patient is an adolescent or younger, the level range goes up to 7.4% for prediabetes.
- If the percentage of sugar is higher than 6.5%, the adult patient has diabetes. For adolescent or younger patients, a percentage of sugar higher than 7.5% means the patient has diabetes.[6][7]
- Conditions such as anemia and sickle cell anemia have been known to interfere with this test. If you have these issues, your doctor may use a different test.[8]
4Get the Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) test. This test is the most commonly used test because it is accurate and costs less than other tests. During the test, the patient goes without food or liquid other than water for at least 8 hours. The doctors or nurses draw blood and send it to get tested for glucose levels.
- If the levels are calculated below 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl), the levels are normal and the patient doesn't have diabetes. If the levels are determined to be between 100 and 125 mg/dl, then the patient has prediabetes.
- If the levels measure above 126b mg/dl, the patient likely has diabetes. If anything other than a normal amount is measure, the test will be repeated to make sure that the results are sound.
- This test can also be used to detect Type 2.[9][10][11]
- This test is typically given first thing in the morning because the patient has to go without food for so long.
5Do the Casual (Random) Plasma Glucose test. This test is the least precise of the tests but is effective. The blood is drawn from the patient at any point, regardless of how much or recent the patient has eaten. If the levels come back above 200 mg/dl, then the patient may have diabetes.Advertisement
Method 2 of 3:
Diagnosing Type 2 Diabetes
1Understand Type 2. Type 2 diabetes, once called adult-onset or noninsulin-dependent diabetes, occurs most often in adults over 40. Type 2 diabetes develops when the body resists the effects of insulin or when the body stops producing enough insulin to maintain the glucose levels in the blood. With Type 2 diabetes, the liver, fat, and muscle cells stop using insulin in the proper way. This causes the body to need to make more insulin in order to break down the glucose. Although the pancreas does this at first, over time the pancreas loses its ability to produce enough insulin for meals. This causes the build up of glucose in the blood.
- Over 90 percent of people diagnosed with diabetes have Type 2.
- Prediabetes is the early stages of Type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes can often be reversed with treatments through diet, exercise, and sometimes medication.
- The primary risk factor for Type 2 is being overweight. This is true for children as well, as the number of childhood or adolescent diagnoses of Type 2 diabetes increase.
- Other risk factors include sedentary lifestyles, family history, race, and age, especially ages 45 and older.
- Women who had gestational diabetes and those with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are more prone develop Type 2.[14][15]
2Identify the symptoms. Type 2 symptoms do not show up as early as Type 1. It often isn't diagnosed until they do. The symptoms of Type 2 include those associated with Type 1. These symptoms are excessive thirst, frequent urination, increased fatigue, extreme hunger, unusual and rapid weight loss, and blurry vision. The symptoms unique to Type 2 are dry mouth, headaches, cuts or sores that are slow to heal, itchy skin, yeast infections, unexplained weight gain, and numbness or tingling in the hands and feet.
- 1 out of 4 people that have Type 2 diabetes do not know they have it.[16]
3Take the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). This test is given over a two hour period at the doctor's office. The patient's blood is drawn before the test. Next, the patient drinks a special sweet drink and waits two hours. Blood is then drawn over the course of the two hours and the levels are calculated.
- If the levels are less than 140 mg/dl, then the levels are normal. If they are between 140 and 199 mg/dl, the patient has prediabetes.
- If the levels are 200 mg/dl or above, the patient likely has diabetes. If anything other than a normal amount is measure, the test will be redone to make sure that the results are true.[17][18][19]
4Take the Glycated Hemoglobin (A1C) test. This test is also used to determine Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. Blood is taken from a patient and sent away for testing. The lab measures the blood sugar percentage attached to the patient's hemoglobin in the blood. This illustrates the patient's blood sugar levels over the past few months.
- If there is 5.7% or less sugar attached to the hemoglobin, the levels are normal. If the percentage is 5.7% to 6.4%, the patient has prediabetes.
- If the percentage of sugar is higher than 6.5%, the patient has diabetes. Since this test calculates the blood sugar levels over a long period of time, this test is not redone.[20][21]
- Certain blood conditions such as anemia and sickle cell anemia have been known to interfere with this test. If you have these or other blood issues, your doctor may have to use an alternate test.[22]
Method 3 of 3:
Diagnosing Gestational Diabetes
1Understand gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is only diagnosed in pregnant women. During pregnancy, a woman's body increases the production of certain hormones and nutrients that can cause resistance to insulin. This causes the pancreas to increase its insulin production. Most of the time, the pancreas is able to deal with making more insulin and the mother will have slightly elevated blood sugar levels, but it will remain manageable. If the body starts building up too much insulin, then the mother will be diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
- If you are pregnant, you should get tested between week 24 and 28 to see if you have it. There are no symptoms, which makes it hard to diagnose otherwise. If it goes undiagnosed, it can cause problems with the pregnancy.
- This type of diabetes goes away after the baby is born. It can redevelop at Type 2 later in life.[23][24]
2Notice the symptoms. Gestational diabetes does not have any obvious signs or symptoms, but the mother is at risk if she lived with diabetes before the pregnancy. If you feel like you may be at risk, you can get screened before you get pregnant to see if you might have any early indicators such as prediabetes. The only way to know for sure, however, is to be screen during your pregnancy.[25][26]
3Get the Initial Glucose Challenge test. This test requires the patient to drink a syrupy glucose solution. Then the patient has to wait for an hour. Once the hour is up, the blood is tested for blood sugar levels. If the levels are below 130-140 mg/dl, then the patient's levels are normal. If it is higher than this, you are at risk for gestational diabetes but don't necessarily have it. You will need a follow-up test called the glucose tolerance test.[27]
4Take the Glucose Tolerance Test. This test requires you to fast overnight. First thing the next morning, blood sugar levels are tested through a blood test. Then the patient drinks another syrupy glucose solution. This drink has a higher level of glucose. The blood sugar levels are checked once an hour for three hours. If your last two readings are higher than 130-140 mg/dl, then the patient is diagnosed with gestational diabetes.[28]Advertisement

Her professional path has included exploring interests in public policy and the built environment, new urbanism and sustainability.
Favorite historic building
I like urban settings that retain large-scale design elements with temporal and cultural dimensions that all respond to the natural environment. I love identifying those layers and how they interact to make a region distinctive. My favorite place right now is San Antonio, Texas, where that complex interaction is celebrated.
I am a preservationist because…
I think thoughtful historic preservation is an integral part of successful planning and land use. Utilizing embodied energy in historic buildings conserves resources while using existing infrastructure can encourage density. Plus, historic spaces can be dynamic and inspiring. Our favorite places often include historic settings that enhance quality of life and contribute to local economies.

The first week of our summer holidays started with the opening of our language summer camp "Englishland".The aim of creating this camp on the basis of our school was to encourage students to learn English, to develop their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, to destroy the language barrier and to open way for the students' creativity.
First of all I created a special classroom for my students where they could feel comfortable and full of interest and excitement. And here it is - our Englishland:
The board with our camp motto, the work plan and useful phrases
The name of our camp
And the board with my students' achievement points
Before opening the camp door, students got acquainted with the camp rules and put their signatures on the special list
Then all the students were ready for something funny and new for them
And we started with our camp song of friendship "Count on me"
After that all the students started to get acquainted: they put a character hat on and told us about themselves:
Valery is an emotional person
Then all the students were divided into two groups:
Noisy Bees
My children created their representative placards
did different English tasks in our Merry Train:
We are entering a new station
We are solving the English puzzle
We are doing the crossword
Noisy Bees are showing their planes in the game "Let me see your..."
We are playing the Mime game on the topic "Professions"
Noisy Bees are trying to show a doctor
Every morning in our camp starts with merry physical exercises:
We are very active, so we like to play "Eaten or Uneaten"
And we like to go on an excursions to our local park where we have fun and a good rest:
My campers especially like the game "Cola, Pepsi, Fanta, Sprite."
For developing our skills we spend time playing online games or doing online activities on our favourite site http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/ru/
My students also like watching movies and discussing their plots:
We celebrate special days. For example, my students represented their pictures devoted to the World Children's Day on June, 1.
The students in our camp are very creative, that's why we have got our own art-studio where we create interesting things:
This week our volunteer Inna Illivna visited our art - studio and offered to make decorations for "Cinderella" play:
And here are the results of our creative work:
And we always present our campers with special points for their work:
These are our first successful steps:
Small steps,
Big results -
It is all about us!
For these points my students will get prizes at the end of our camp, but that will be another story.
And our adventures in Englishland go on.
