Okay, so way back in the end of 2012, I found out I qualified for a college scholarship. I got my first degree in 1985, which managed to be enough until we got to human resources databases that reject people if they don't have the "right" degree. But what's that got to do with Machiavelli?
After being stuck in a dead-end part-time job for the better part of three years, I figured that there was only one way to move forward again, and that was by going back to college for a degree that proved I knew what I was doing with web design and art. Unfortunately, the requirements for the AA degree (in Interactive Media, if you must know) included taking a basic art class on which everything else hinged, and without that class, I was dead in the water.
So, okay. Take the one class, start full time in the fall. I can get behind that, especially since I'm only part time at work anyway. But in order to get the scholarship money (or a fraction thereof), I need to be at least part time at college, and that meant taking a second class in something. Anything.
When I launched this blog back in 2012, I was already compiling a bunch of historical data (dates, names, events) for arguments on Facebook and Live Journal, and that was a darn sight better than I did the last time I took a history course (American history, and I got an incomplete, so there was a reason to worry).
I looked at the catalog and found World History to Modern Times. The actual range of dates (which I wasn't expecting when I walked in that first day) was 962-1949. Daunting? You bet. Until the professor allowed me to use my laptop for taking notes. That, friends, changed everything. And it's a good thing, too, because I still have the spreadsheet I used for tracking my timeline.
See, the professor threw dates, names, events and phrases around with wild abandon. He offered a set of study guides that were essentially in timeline form, and he insisted that we read a book (that he never actually referred to more than twice in the entire semester, or I'd have included the title here). There were questions from the timeline study guides, and questions from the stuff he threw out in his lectures. And if I hadn't captured ALL of it and then checked for sources and more data using the campus internet connection, I'd have bombed this class, too.
Instead, I built a fairly solid picture of where we were and how we got there, from the Holy Roman Empire to Nazi Germany.
You can check out the spreadsheet to see what I mean. Lots of notes, some of which are designed as simple date reminders for regurgitation on the tests. I've only just added an eighth column, to hold the relevant Wikipedia link, which I should have done way back then but didn't bother to do because I could always look it up when I wanted to. Since I'm making my work available to you, I figure anything to make the source easier to locate is a good thing.
Now, before you go all "Yeah, Wikipedia. Like THAT's trustworthy!" on me, bear in mind that some pages, like the one on Hitler, contain so many outside references, there's no limit to the number of additional reading sources for you to consider. And I encourage you to do just that. Go check the sources. Get lost in the data. And then come back to the spreadsheet for further source material. Eleven centuries of history (give or take a year) is a lot to digest in one sitting, or even one class. And this is World History, not just American History, so context is everything.
Anyway, with the class, there was a required paper. It's a history class, and I think I got off easy with just one paper and an extra credit question, aside from the weekly quizzes and midterm exam. The paper is reproduced below. It's long, so you'll have to go under the cut to find it. If you haven't read The Prince yet, the link to Gutenberg is below. There's really no excuse.
I'll leave the rest as an exercise for the reader.
How did we get here?
One step at a time.
Oh, and the class? Got an A. (On the paper, too.)
A Reflection Paper: The Prince, by Niccolò Machiavelli
April 26, 2013
When I decided to return to college this year (2013), I had some serious concerns. My past history as a student taught me that I needed to have some interest in the subject or I would have considerable trouble completing reading and assignments. My last brush with History left me with an incomplete, as a result of my failure to hand in a paper.
As a result, I lack fundamental courses for my new career track (Interactive Media). 2-Dimensional Design was the underlying course required for all other classes I needed to take in the field. I had a minimum requirement of six credits to fulfill for receiving a grant to offset the cost of classes. Looking at the degree requirements, and knowing how much time I spent daily debating politics online in forums and in my own Blog, I decided it would be prudent to take a course in modern history, and I settled on Western Civilization.
While I was surprised that we started with the middle ages, I understand the value in gaining perspective on the European political landscape at the start of The Enlightenment, as the knowledge bears directly on events and motivations for the French Revolution and everything that came after. In many ways, this course has helped me recognize events that helped shape our world today, and the traps we might have avoided with a little of that perspective, combined with today's communication tools.
Early on in this course, we covered the subject of Machiavelli's The Prince, but only in the context of material that would eventually inform political leaders in Germany, Italy and the other areas most affected by World Wars I and II. It seemed worthwhile to me to take the time outside of class to read the book, in order to gain a little more of my own enlightenment on the subject, and be better able to recognize its influences over world leaders. I decided to read the Project Gutenberg edition, translated by W. K. Marriott, available online at: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1232.
Of the book in general, I find the language tough to read. As with writers of the period, flowery, overly descriptive writing makes reading and understanding intent difficult at best, even as the style of writing places the document firmly in its time. It is more a lengthy analysis of personal observation (a Renaissance-era 'blog of sorts, or perhaps better described as a diatribe) rather than a purely historical retelling of facts and events. That this document could be taken as an instruction manual for dictators is both frightening and a telling point for anyone currently documenting the behavior of our political leaders.
Following are my impressions of a few select passages. For example, in CHAPTER III, CONCERNING MIXED PRINCIPALITIES, Machiavelli writes:
He who would attack that state from the outside must have the utmost caution; as long as the prince resides there it can only be wrested from him with the greatest difficulty.
And the usual course of affairs is that, as soon as a powerful foreigner enters a country, all the subject states are drawn to him, moved by the hatred which they feel against the ruling power. …he who does not properly manage this business will soon lose what he has acquired, and whilst he does hold it he will have endless difficulties and troubles.
Machiavelli's specific target in the chapter, Louis XII and his actions against Florence, can easily be construed as a guide for future "dictators" in the way that his arguments are written. By not specifying whom the writer intends as the subject of the writing, leaving the reader open to interpret the text as an instruction manual of sorts, rather than a simple historical documentation of the effect Louis' actions had on the people of Florence. Machiavelli's writing comes across as the codification and sharing of philosophical ideas rather than the description of actual events. It is remarkable that this work survived over the course of 500 years, but I believe it has done so because of the colloquial language and the simple (if diabolical) illustrations provided within its chapters.
The Prince succeeded in serving as an instruction manual of sorts, because Machiavelli's observations of activities in his own time are adaptable to current conditions, and because many of the same political structure survived long past the lives of the specific monarchies and individuals to whom he referred in his book.
…a prince ought to live amongst his people in such a way that no unexpected circumstances, whether of good or evil, shall make him change; because if the necessity for this comes in troubled times, you are too late for harsh measures; and mild ones will not help you, for they will be considered as forced from you, and no one will be under any obligation to you for them.
It is easy to imagine the crowned heads of Europe reading Machiavelli's words and heeding his cautions as reasons to act against their enemies in the way they do, but that leads me to wonder what our world political structure might have been if he had not written the book and if it had not been published subsequent to his death. Was his work simply an illustration of inevitable behavior or was it something more sinister: The fundamental key to the rise of Nazi Germany and the foundation for the Holocaust? Clearly, his views on propaganda regarding an outward show of (though the current term was not made popular until the early 18th century, according to the Merriam-Webster Concise Encyclopedia, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/propaganda)
For this reason a prince ought to take care … that he may appear to him who sees and hears him altogether merciful, faithful, humane, upright, and religious. There is nothing more necessary to appear to have than this last quality, inasmuch as men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, because it belongs to everybody to see you, to few to come in touch with you. Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many…
Machiavelli's instructions to be careful about appearance, to seem better than one actually is for the sake of controlling the people, is at the heart of Hitler's rise to power and the war that followed. His enigmatic speeches, the frenzied response of the people to supposed injury by the Jews, Russians, Poles, their sympathizers and anyone else who appeared to oppose Hitler's regime, and even the counter propaganda that allowed for so many Allied troops to join in the defense, were proving Machiavelli's points, that the outward appearance was everything, and that all manner of evil actions could be justified if given the proper grounding. People who are taught not to question authority are capable of unspeakable acts if they believe those acts to be in their best interests. Fortunately, there were people who were capable of seeing through the smoke and mirrors and were still empathic enough to risk their lives and oppose the Nazi movement, but the vast majority (as borne out by recent discoveries of unmarked graves will attest) were not much better than the Schutzstaffel (SS) themselves.
A prince, therefore, ought always to take counsel, but only when he wishes and not when others wish; he ought rather to discourage every one from offering advice unless he asks it; but, however, he ought to be a constant inquirer, and afterwards a patient listener concerning the things of which he inquired; also, on learning that any one, on any consideration, has not told him the truth, he should let his anger be felt.
I find it more than a little disturbing that viewing recent military actions through the filters suggested in The Prince such as those between the United States and Middle East, Eastern Europe and elsewhere, our country's leadership bears a striking resemblance to those most reviled in terms of justification and outcome. For that matter, viewing President Nixon's behavior between his resignation and the subsequent Frost interviews, one might gather even he had something to learn from The Prince, concerning propaganda and flattery.
For example, look at the way we are viewed in Iraq. Some of our nation's leaders at the time of the Iraq War's launch viewed our role in the war as helpful, while at the same time we were (and still are) reviled by those we claimed to be "helping," because we didn't approach our role from a standpoint of aid and assistance, but of violent upheaval, and we are not there to enjoy the fruits of our labor, but as overseers. That role is destined for failure.
From this a general rule is drawn which never or rarely fails: that he who is the cause of another becoming powerful is ruined; because that predominancy has been brought about either by astuteness or else by force, and both are distrusted by him who has been raised to power.
Just so. We gave Iraq our support, then when they exercised their power, we went back in and took it away again, with disastrous results. And now, with the onset of the Tea Party in our most conservative forms of government, we have allowed the "neutral" press to serve our propaganda on a silver plated Fox News platter.
When discussing propaganda, as one frequently does when discussing Fox News, Time Magazine, CNN or other suspect news sources, are we led to the Nazi comparison in Godwin's law (Mike Godwin's 1990 Internet-based adage: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.") because of their constant use of propaganda instead of unbiased reporting? Is it a natural follow-on to the theme of making the bad guy appear to be good and vice versa that leads to the inevitable comparison to Hitler?
Narrowing down this paper's scope, the correlation between the adage and our own news media occurred to me, specifically because I got caught pulling the Hitler card a couple of days ago in a conversation regarding Same Sex Marriage (a Biblical reference to Adam and "Steve" that reminded Christians that Hitler was also God's responsibility).
My problem is that I can see the seeds of Nazi Germany in the dealings of the Tea Party's leadership, in the actions of the Koch brothers and others and that correlation, frankly, scares the hell out of me. Muslims in the US, specifically in relation to the Marathon bombing, are seeing a resurgence of the initial reaction to 9/11 that has set off a firestorm of racial hatred which I fear is backed by indiscriminate vigilantes with guns. Their implication seems to be that unless you're the right flavor of Christian, you're not safe to be around and you might just be something less than human, and that appears to be exactly what the current-day propagandists hope to accomplish.
Anything can be justified if it's done to less superior human beings. All it takes is a prince in charge who knows how to control the population.
Thanks, Machiavelli.

Case Study: Rising star charity
Snow-Camp is the UK's only charity using a unique combination of skiing, snowboarding, education and vocational opportunities to support and empower inner-city young people
Date 2019
Region South East
Size 50-249 employees
Sector Charity
Programmes are developed and delivered by young people and this peer-to-peer element is fundamental to the charity's growth and success. The young people who become volunteers or apprentices for the charity act as its voice in their communities helping at-risk peers feel more positive about themselves and reducing negative behaviour.
Working alongside youth organisations, the programmes offered include a two-day induction, instructor qualifications and an apprenticeship with work placements provided through industry partners. To-date over 270 young people have become snowboard instructors and the charity has employed 31 apprentices. All training is at zero-cost to the participant and this is achieved through the charity securing highly reduced costs through partnerships and building a loyal supporter base. Admirably, 80% of funds raised are spent directly on the programme.
Snow-Camp is reaching its ambition of breaking down barriers associated with snow sports and achieving positive change with at-risk youths. Last year 820 young people were trained by 80 youth volunteers and 8 apprentices. 91% went on to gain instructor qualifications enabling them to move on to employment, training or further education.
With a vision to grow the programme in order to offer an apprenticeship course in every region, this small charity with big ambitions is empowering the youth of today. By creating and strengthening unexpected bonds and increasing life skills and opportunities Snow-Camp is also providing young people with a much-needed voice.
'There is wide spread grief, sadness and most understandably anger amongst our youth in and around the borough. A chance to not only have the experience of Snow-Camp and all that is offers, but to progress to a higher level is something of great value to these young people at this time in their lives.'
Youth Worker
'My future only holds what I make it and I'm looking forward to continuing to share what I've learnt with the new young people. Snow-Camp has really changed my life and given me opportunities that I could only dream of and that's the reason I come back year after year. To offer more young people the same chances and support I received.'

The language of the law. Part Latin, part Greek, part Anglo-Saxon, all confusing.
Along with hundreds of other genealogists from around the country, and even the world, The Legal Genealogist is heading off to Pittsburgh today for the 2017 Federation of Genealogical Societies conference.
It's a great conference where I'll be presenting on topics ranging from the ethics of DNA testing to the records that resulted from the black laws of the north.
It's going to be a terrific conference!
But it does mean that time to write blog posts is in short supply. Since nobody wants the blog to go totally silent while I'm off having fun at the conference, however, let's continue having fun as time allows with legal alphabet soup.
So, for today, H is for "HAMESECKEN".
Go ahead.
I dare you.
I double dog dare you to use that in a sentence without having to look it up.
And, I confess, it's a sure bet I wouldn't have been able to do it — at least not with a straight face — until I looked it up, and found that it's a term from Scottish law that means "the violent entering into a man's house without license or against the peace, and the seeking and assaulting him there. … The crime of housebreaking or burglary."1
Which of course immediately raises the question of the difference, if any, between housebreaking and burglary.
And, it turns out, there used to be one — and that distinction still exists in some places.
Housebreaking is defined as "breaking and entering a dwelling-house with intent to commit any felony therein."2
Burglary, however, is something more: In criminal law. The breaking and entering the house of another in the night-time, with intent to commit a felony therein, whether the felony be actually committed or not.3
So every burglary is a housebreaking, but not every housebreaking is a burglary.
On the other hand, every burglary or housebreaking is a hamesecken.
Got that?
Now you know what that crime was that got your ancestor transported to America or Australia, right?

Winter Skin Saviour: Selexir Peace Balm review
Saturday 5 January 2013
11 comments
Wow, that sure is pricey! But it sounds very soothing and luxurious, anything that can minimise itchiness is always a plus :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Definitely, I'm going to have to ration this out!Delete
I've suffered an eczema flare up this last week (most likely from exam stress!) and have been looking for something like this to use as I don't have my usual eczema lotions and potions with me at university. I love the sound and look of this product (your photos really make the packaging look stunning) but the price makes it, sadly, unaffordable to me. But definitely for those out there who rely on products like this (especially in the short term) it's most likely money well spent as the quality of this sounds amazing xxReplyDeleteReplies
It is very expensive and I know that I'd struggle to afford a replacement when it runs out so I'm going to have to ration it or something! My favourite (more affordable) products that I find work really well for eczema are things like LUSH's Dream Cream, Barefoot SOS Rescue Lotion, Lavera's All Round Cream and Weleda's Skin Food. Would recommend any of those and they're all under £15 xxDelete
I'm not sure I could personally spend that much on a product like this, but it does sound utterly wonderful.xoReplyDeleteReplies
I think I'll have to save up and buy the much the smaller tube when this one runs out myself. It's a fantastic product, but definitely on the higher end of the market! xxDelete
Lovely photos! xReplyDelete
This sounds amazing but wowza the price. I suppose if you buy the 30ml it isn't too bad. xReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, it's an amazing product but I think I'd only ever be able to afford to buy the 30ml size myself in the future xDelete
Hi Evelyn,ReplyDelete
I really adores your photography, do you have some tips or maybe some photography secrets that you can share? I just followed your blog for a few months and have been falling in love with your posts, the writings and the photos are very lovely..
Hi Yuri, thank you, that's very kind of you to say that! :)Delete
My main photography tip would be to get yourself a light box - it really helps to illuminate everything, especially if you're taking photos on a day where natural daylight is limited like in winter, and keeps things looking bright and crisp. Other than that, I'd recommend a mini tripod to make sure everything stays in focus, and of course the macro setting on a camera is a blogger's best friend :) Hope that helps! xx

The simple heart emoji is a classic – and here it is in the form a chocolate cake topped with raspberries. *insert heart-eyes emoji here*
Don't these pancakes look almost a little too perfect?! How come mine never look that good? Amazing job, Garrick!
The pumpkin emoji was a popular choice today, and here is Bonnie's pumpkin-inspired dish. Pumpkin lasagna with mushrooms and caramelised onions sounds pretty good to me!
Day 3: Leader of a country, place, or group
Rosie the Riveter needs a protein packed meal more than anyone! I'm sure she'd be happy with this quinoa, tofu,and broccoli dish.
Of course, there are great leaders in our own homes and families too – Moon made this gazpacho and tofu-egg salad in honour of her mother-in-law, and we'd love to join them for a meal!
Of course, there's no obligation to follow our daily prompts or weekly themes – Food for Dissertating is posting about packed lunches all month. Not only does this look like a delicious lunch, but I can confirm from personal research that the recipe for these chocolate hazelnut oat bites is to die for!
Day 4: Artist inspired
KZ shared this beautiful Pitaya bowl, which definitely looks like a work of art to me! Plus there are some philosophical musings on art and perception.
Top marks to Michelle for transforming a bunch of leftovers into a Rothko!
Look at these Mary Blair-inspired cookies that Clare made! There were even diagrams involved!
Day 5: Inspiring cookbooks
Oh, hello, bookshelf of my dreams! But which one is Kristen's favourite?!
Check out this dish from a 1970s cookbook, originally called 'Governor's Lady Deviled Crab' and now veganised for the modern times!
Sarra is posting on the theme of vegan travel, and shared some of the cookbooks she's picked up on the road – including non-vegan ones, which she promptly veganises, as you can see from her famous bicsuits!
Day 6: The Anti-Vegan
How does Sandy deal with people who claim to hate tofu? She turns tofu into a pizza base! Check out the recipe for these tofu pizza bites!
Burgers featured pretty heavily on this day, and here's just one example of an amazing burger that can win over any meat eater!
Meanwhile, Vegan Raptor continues to post Buffy-based puns alongside tasty vegan dishes as part of his Buffy Menu theme. I'm sure we can get Buffy to slay the anti-vegan brigade!
Day 7: Colour
If you follow Vegan Dollhouse on Instagram or her blog, you'll expect nothing less than adorable food at all times. Just check out these purple steamed buns!
Have you ever been served a yellow lasagna before?! Learn how to do it on this post from Wister!
And why settle for one colour when you can eat the whole rainbow? Emily leads the way with this colourful bowl.
Day 8: Your own flops
Most of us have probably experienced a disaster which almost cost us a beloved dish or utensil. But you've got to have the courage to try again, as we can see from this beautiful looking focaccia!
Cindy has been thwarted in the past when making crispy fried tofu, but now she's really shown it who's boss! Find out her secrets, and get the recipe for her BBQ nut butter sauce as an added bonus!
All this week, Angie has been veganising some classic Pennsylvania Dutch recipes, and she finished up with this shoofly pie, which apparently tastes just like gingerbread! Yum!
Here's to another amazing week of VeganMoFo 2018!

Benefit consultants working with small business clients to launch or revise a health insurance plan know that your company may not have the budget for as robust an offering as a large corporation would. Shifting some of the premium cost to the employees can be a win-win for everyone. You as employer can offer a variety of coverages to your employees to protect themselves from risk. Employees can then choose what to purchase. Understanding the budget limits of your company, as well as goals for offering health insurance coverage, will help you to craft a benefit proposal that is in-line with employee needs. The human resources or benefits manager at your business can be an asset and an effective source of information for identifying in which direction to direct your benefits offering.
Define Needs
When writing a health insurance proposal be clear about what exactly the business wants to accomplish. Do you want a robust benefits offering to help attract new talent, or simply want to offer a simple plan to account for employees' basic health insurance needs? Defining goals for the company's benefit offering will help streamline your proposal and offer a solution within your means. Consulting with the director of human resources or the person that manages benefits can identify the strongest needs in your benefit plan with the greatest impact for employees.
Define the Business
Business size -- how many full-time employees you employ -- will have a huge impact on what type of plans you include in your proposal. If your business has more than 50 employees, you are subject to penalties under the Affordable Care Act for not offering affordable and adequate coverage. This means your company must offer plans that are at least of the ACA's "bronze" level, meaning that the value of the plan must account for at least 60% of the actuarial value of the coverage. The premiums paid by employees must also not exceed 9.5 percent of the employee's income. A company with fewer than 50 benefit-eligible employees is not subject to these standards and will not be at risk of a fine. However, if a company has fewer than 25 employees and also meets other criteria, such as wage parameters, they could be eligible for a health insurance credit from the government. A human resources manager should be aware of the hours each employee works and who is benefit eligible, which will be a great resource for crafting an effective benefits proposal.
Medical Coverage
Medical coverage forms the core of a company's benefit offering and will form the primary focus of your healthcare insurance proposal. For a small company with a limited budget, a High Deductible Health Plan or HDHP could be an option that suits your business. These plans have high deductibles and typically lower premiums than traditional copay plans, and are also Health Savings Account eligible. This is an affordable option that could be appealing if you simply want to provide employees with a basic offering. Work with your human resources or benefits manager to estimate what employees will likely want or need as far as medical plan design and whether cost or coverage is their greatest driver. Position a HDHP plan next to a traditional copay plan for comparison and variety and suggest that employees can contribute more in premiums to support their choice.
Ancillary Coverages
In addition to the medical plan that forms the foundation of your health insurance proposal, consider offering ancillary coverages for voluntary purchase. Ancillary coverage typically includes dental insurance, short- and long-term disability plans and life insurance. Though your small company may not be able to fund these options for employees the way many large corporations do, offering them as voluntary, or optional, benefits to employees at their own expense allows the employees to decide for themselves if these coverages are important to them. If they are, employees have the option to purchase them at group benefit rates with their own money. Your human resources manager should have data regarding employee absences in the past, such as surgeries, pregnancies or workplace injuries. This information could be very helpful in designing a plan for ancillary coverage and fit the offering with the trends of need in your organization.

Everybody has different edges. What some people think it edgy is often not a big deal for me. But then there are certain activities that other people think is not big deal but they unnerve me.
Sometimes I just want to, no, I need to, push myself. For a long time I have been fantasizing about doing a strip in front of a lot of people. I thought about doing it this year at Leather Retreat. And then I thought about doing it at Dark Odyssey. But I finally got the guts to do it last weekend at just Play in Baltimore.
One of the things that sweetened the pot for me was the fact we were all dancing for real money as a fundraiser. That excited me. Chairs were set up in a long narrow oval on the third floor. Women (and trans) were seated waving dollar bills for special attention. This was different than stage performance. We were expected to interact with the audience so that we could collect money. They stuck money in my thong and they stuck money in my Wesco boots. I worked that room.
Here's the song which I found at Cinekink 2005:
Another element was that this was a contest. I really did not think much about that because I never thought I would win. I just wanted to do it. But the most amazing thing happened – I did win!

When you've already seen Kate Upton nude, all other possibilities pale in comparison.
Indeed, the super (duper!) model is featured in the latest edition of Great Britain's The Sunday Times, scarcely wearing any pants and offering up some decent cleavage shots in a couple poses.
But, considering other recent bikini photos of the blonde, it's hard to get overly excited about these overly layered shots. Upton has simply set the mostly-naked bar far too high for herself.

Having heard so much about Term Insurance and why it's so important to have one, you've decided to go ahead and insure yourself. But while doing some research on the products available in the market, you've come across this variant called Term with Return of Premium (TRoP) and it really appeals to you. After all, it provides you the best of both worlds – not only does it insure you and provides financial protection to your family in case you die but also promises to pay you back your premiums if you survive till the end of the policy term. No doubt, it seems like a win-win proposition but it may not always be true.
You need to make sure that you've considered the math behind the proposition. While the feature of 'return of premiums' may seem attractive, do bear in mind that this makes the product more expensive than pure Term Insurance Plans (without any return of premium) and depending on the premium being charged may not really be beneficial.
Take an example of a 35 year old male taking an insurance cover of Rs. 20,00,000 for a term of 20 years. Let us assume his premium for a Term Insurance plan is Rs. 6,000 and for a TRoP plan is Rs. 17,000 (an example that is fairly close to two such products available in the market today).
In both cases, the risk cover on his life is the same i.e. Rs. 20,00,000 (the amount that would be paid to his dependents in the case of his death). However, if he buys the Term plan, he ends up paying Rs. 6,000 every year for 20 years with no survival benefits while in case of TRoP he pays a higher Rs. 17,000 every year but gets back Rs. 3,40,000 at the end of the 20 year period (17,000 times 20).
Now the simple math:
Since there is an additional Rs. 11,000 (17,000 minus 6,000) that our friend is paying every year when choosing a TRoP, this choice can only make sense if he cannot deploy this additional amount elsewhere to earn more than Rs. 3,40,000 in 20 years.
Rs. 11,000 invested at a minimal rate of 4.5% can fetch an amount greater than Rs. 3,40,000 in 20 years time. Don't know about our friend but most of us could safely park our money where it could earn more than 4.5% per annum.
That's all there is to it, really. One just needs to make sure that the opportunity loss on the extra premium under TRoP is not higher than what will come back to you as return of premium.
Look at the extra amount you have to pay for a TRoP and consider various alternate investment options available for this money. If these options give you a return that is lower than what you would get through the 'return of premiums', do consider TRoP but if not, then stick with the good old Term Insurance plans.

During my recent trip to Las Vegas, We managed to take a day in order to drive over to something I've always wanted to see: The Hoover Dam!
It was on my Uncle's bucket list to see the Dam and the surrounding area, so we, of course, had to make a trip! I brought out a newer lens I hadn't really had a chance to play around with, and I also brought my first vintage lens to show my cousin and take some panoramas.
Would you believe that the massive Hoover Dam took four years to complete, and was ahead of schedule? It took 2500 miles of concrete to make the Dam. Can you imagine pouring 2500 miles of concrete in just four years? It's really hard to understand how massive the Dam is until you actually see it.
These pictures might not do it any justice.

What a difference a party on the left can have!
US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, at the annual International Security Conference in Munich stepped up pressure on Germany to send more troops to Afghanistan and commit them to active fighting not only in the currently more peaceful north but in the battle-ridden south as well. US troops are in short supply.
German Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung categorically said, "No. Not us." Or at least, "Not just now, anyway, certainly not until October, or if at all, then only in emergencies." He insisted, "We can't overturn the decisions and limitations imposed by the Bundestag."
Gates doesn't quite understand that. His president in Washington has never given a tinker's damn for what Congress says – on the rare occasions when it hasn't kowtowed to him. So why should Jung worry?
Of course, basically, Defense Minister Jung wouldn't give two euros for the Bundestag's opinion either. And in the past the governing coalition, whether it consisted of Christian Democrats and Social Democrats or of Social Democrats and Greens, has almost always played "follow the leader" with Washington. The one exception was during the second Iraq war, when Gerhard Schroeder wanted to win the election so desperately that he suddenly began to talk like a king of peace. But even then Rumsfeld's warriors were permitted to use every military facility in Germany – and are still using the country as its main base for the war against the Iraqis.
But this time the situation has changed. For years, the small PDS (Party of Democratic Socialism) was confined almost entirely to the five eastern provinces of Germany, the former German Democratic Republic, and to some extent to Berlin. It had hardly a tiny toe hold in the far more populous ten western provinces, limiting it to the role of a rarely-needed extra in a b-movie.
But then it merged with a small but dynamic new West German party, made up largely of disgusted ex-members of the Social Democrats and Greens, who rejected the miserable anti-social, pro-corporate and "growing military readiness" positions of both their parties. Add to this mix, people's rapidly-growing dissatisfaction with the economy. The new merged party started chalking up gains in both the west and the east.
The big fear of the four ruling parties (the fourth was the right-wing business party FDP (the Free Democrats), was that this new party, calling itself Die Linke, or The Left, might some day seep out of its east German ghetto and influence politics in the west.
And this is just what happened! Last spring it won seven seats in the city-state of Bremen. Then came Lower Saxony, where the Christian Democrats had a popular candidate. The Social Democrat got walloped – and the Left won eleven seats, creating, for the first time, a genuine opposition. In the state of Hesse (where Frankfurt/Main is located), a far more bitter battle was waged. The big news, however, was the 5.1 percent vote for the Left, just barely enough to get into the provincial parliament with seven seats, but enough to pull the bottom card from a shaky house of cards.
The next provincial elections are on February 24th in Hamburg. The polls now give the Left about ten percent. It seems almost inevitable that the Left will make it into the fourth West German legislature, with more votes coming up next year.
Jung's tough words about obeying the will of the Bundestag and not sending more troops to Afghanistan was undoubtedly pronounced with an eye on the coming elections in Hamburg, for the word has been spreading that the Left is the only party which opposes military actions by German soldiers anywhere on the globe – a position reflecting the will of perhaps 70 percent or more of the German population.
The powerful old forces of 20th century Germany and their offspring, are striving to make Germany a world power once again – not just economically but militarily as well, and their slogan, coined by the last Social Democratic Minister of Defense, was ""the boundaries of our security requirements lie in the Hindu Kush" – in Afghanistan, and elsewhere. And thus far, only the Left has said No.
Important as provincial elections can be in German politics, no one is forgetting that the next national elections are in the autumn of 2009. The Left is not untroubled by inner disputes regarding strategy and direction. One important disagreement concerns the question of joining a coalition with the Social Democrats or Greens, a policy some members reject completely. But it is unquestioned that the Left not only opposes foreign military intervention but also calls for a minimum wage, for preserving the weakening medical insurance system, for winning back free education, and saving the unemployed from compulsory, menial jobs at starvation wages. It also calls for ending discrimination against immigrant minorities. The media strive daily to suppress these facts.
Still, the worst fear of the powers-that-be are becoming reality. The Left, possibly now the third biggest party in all Germany, can no longer be ignored, and the tough-sounding rejection of Robert Gates' demands by the Defense Minister in Munich is the clearest proof of this.

Computer applications have reduced human effort considerably, aside from also improving service delivery within organizations. Many companies have previously adopted custom software solutions for diverse operations. The primary purpose of with such programs is streamlining business functions and improving the overall operational efficiency. To be able to undertake custom software application development your firm needs to construct a group is containing a method analyst and programmer/custom software developer. You may also decide to hire custom software development companies that will help you.
There are many benefits of utilizing custom software programs inside an organization. Included in this are:
1) Coordinating Business Processes
Business Web applications enable firms to attain coordination of numerous processes, via a central information repository, an action that reinforces communication in various departments. Various stakeholders can make use of the centralized software within the firm, which boosts efficiency and repair delivery.

Management and employees both get relieved through the gains that can come from adopting custom mobile phone applications. Procedures for training are easy, as employees could have been knowledgeable about the processes used.
It is actually your employees that designs the custom software applications employed by your business. Consequently, your company firm won't require acquiring any licenses to be able to operate them, because it owns the license and legal rights of utilizing that software. What this means is your organization can so something with it. Custom software application development is useful especially where huge figures of personnel get for their services free of charge. Another advantage is your company won't also require any authorization when performing alterations in future to support business growth.

DISCLAIMER: I am writing this article on a foriegn keyboard so I apoligize for spelling errors and anywords that are autocorrected.
Whether it is a week long hunting trip, a three night camping trip, or a day hike the same questions seems to always arise: Who are you going with? If you are anything like me then thats the most despicable question you will ever encounter.
It is my belief that to truly enjoy the outdoors and completely immerse yourself in the beauty and raw power of Mother Nature you have to cut ties with all forms of civilization and really go by yourself. Now some people would say that is a death wish and call me ignorant and stupid. I call it adventerous and exhilerating. With that being said going hunting or camping with someone can be just as fun, but you absolutely need to find that perfect fit. Going hunting with someone is not as easy as it may seem. You need to trust that person completely with your life because if you dont, their true colors will come out in a time of most need. Perhaps not on the first or second trip, but when it does happen it could very well be fatal. When looking for someone to explore the wild with you there should be several componets that they possess such as physically fit, mental strong, a good attitude and a good personality. These are just a few, but the most important one is their morales and ethics. These two things are above all the most important things that you should look for when you find that someone who you will be outdoors with.
You want to be confident that your partner will not take Mother Nature for granted and disrespect her or any of the animals that she allows to live in her kingdom.
With that I leave you to ponder, but stay updated with missionak and spread the word, posts will be coming weekly hopefully so stay updated!

It's a two-way street, finding out if a doctor is good for you or not. So make sure to ask the right kind of questions.
Go with your gut.
When in doubt, always trust your feelings. You have to be comfortable with the doctor if you're foreseeing a long-term relationship with the physician. Ask yourself things like:
Get another opinion.
In the end, you just might not be sure. That's not a problem.

What is in a flu shot? People get worried about what's in a flu vaccine, but many studies over the years have shown that flu vaccines are safe. It is by far the best way to avoid having the flu and spreading it to other men and women. Influenza viruses are constantly changing, which means that the flu vaccine is updated each year.
However, these are the components that commonly comprise flu vaccines.
Influenza viruses
The flu vaccine includes tiny amounts of the viruses it protects from. The presence of the viruses from the vaccine triggers the body's natural defence mechanism to produce antibodies to fight them. This means that the body quickly recognizes them when actually invaded by the virus.
Admittedly, formaldehyde is toxic and potentially deadly in high doses. But, it is present in such tiny amounts in an influenza vaccination that it is completely benign.
Formaldehyde's function in the flu shot is to inactivate toxins out of viruses and bacteria that may contaminate the vaccine through creation, in addition to the viruses naturally present in the vaccine.
Formaldehyde is typically present in the human body also, and is a product of healthy digestive function.
Aluminum Salts
Aluminum has been used in vaccines for over 70 years. Aluminum salts are adjuvants, meaning they assist the body to come up with a stronger immune response against the virus in the vaccine. Because they improve the body's response, this usually means that the vaccine can contain smaller amounts of the virus.
Comparable to formaldehyde, and to many ingredients in the flu shot, the quantity of aluminum within the vaccine is extremely tiny.
This chemical isn't necessarily present in flu vaccines though. There are a few of which are aluminum-free.
Thimerosal is not found in all flu vaccines. To describe exactly, thimerosal is a preservative that retains the vaccine free of contamination by fungi and bacteria. Without this, the growth of bacteria and fungi is common when a syringe has a multi-dose vial (a vial that contains over one dose).
Thimerosal is made from a natural form of mercury called ethylmercury, a secure compound that usually only remains in the bloodstream for a couple of days.
It is different from the typical mercury which can cause disease in massive doses, and from the type found in fish (known as methylmercury), which can remain in the body for years.
Flu shots will only include thimerosal when they're in a multi-dose vial. Single-dose vials, pre-filled syringes, and sinus sprays do not need to incorporate this preservative since contamination is not a problem.
Chicken egg proteins
Proteins from chicken eggs help viruses to grow until they move into the vaccine.
Influenza viruses used in vaccines are usually grown inside fertilized chicken eggs, where the virus creates copies of itself. Following that, the germs are separated out of the egg and placed in the vaccine; this usually means that the final vaccine may contain small quantities of egg proteins.
It is also usually safe for people with egg allergies, but those who have an egg allergy must mention it to the doctor before receiving the shot. Someone with a severe egg allergy might require monitoring by a physician after the injection.
Of course, egg-free flu shots are also available.
Gelatin is used in the flu shot as a stabilizer. Stabilizers keep the vaccine effective from manufacturing until it is used..
Stabilizers also help to protect the vaccine from the harmful effects of heat or freeze-drying. Most influenza vaccines use pork-based gelatin as a stabilizer.
Antibiotics are present in the flu vaccine to help keep bacteria from growing during the manufacturing and storage of the vaccine.
Vaccines do not include antibiotics that might lead to severe reactions, such as penicillin. Instead, vaccines include other forms of antibiotics, such as gentamicin or neomycin. Neomycin is also an ingredient in many topical medicines, like lotions, lotions, and eye drops.
All in all, the above are the common ingredients in a vaccine. As we've stated, these ingredients are very much benign, and though some may be harmful in large doses, those ingredients in very very tiny amounts that they don't pose any threat at all. However, it is always a good idea to consult your physician if you feel that you could have any allergic reactions or concerns.
It is very important to keep our eyes healthy, as they can come under various conditions that threaten our vision, and more. That's where an ophthalmologist comes in.
What is an ophthalmologist?
Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that deals with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye. An ophthalmologist is a doctor of medicine who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of ailments of the eye, besides diagnosing systemic diseases that manifest in eye signs or symptoms.
Since ophthalmologists perform operations on eyes, they are considered to be both surgical and medical specialists.
In fact, the single health professional trained both medically and surgically to treat eye conditions -- such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma -- is an ophthalmologist.
What does an ophthalmologist do?
Historically, the practice of ophthalmology has encompassed all aspects of visual function in health and disease, such as refraction, orthoptics, binocular vision and strabismus. Medical and surgical treatment of disorder between the visual system and comprehension of ocular manifestations of systemic illness are also an essential component of the practice of ophthalmology.
Ophthalmologists offer a thorough approach to ocular symptoms and disease. They are mostly concerned with correcting imperfections and treating ailments of the eye that cause diminished or lack of eyesight. They assess the state of the patient's eye, diagnose any abnormalities found, intervene to preserve the sense of sight, and evaluate if the condition has improved.
An ophthalmologist may also conduct eye surgeries such as cataract extraction, lens replacement, cornea reshaping, transplants, retinal detachment repair, and glaucoma treatment. Most of these procedures are usually performed with the aid of lasers and computerized surgical tools, but the majority are still done by hand.
In addition to diagnosing and treating celiac disease by medical or surgical means, ophthalmologists offer comprehensive ocular-visual assessment, which may include the prescription of corrective lenses.
Ophthalmologists may also operate on animals, since the eye's anatomy and physiology have few differences among closely related species. But a veterinary eye physician is often considered a different specialist with separate licensing and regulation. Generally, ophthalmologists are supposed to be wholly dedicated to the treatment and study of the human eye, but some may find veterinary ophthalmology practice to be a more attractive area.
When to see an ophthalmologist
See an ophthalmologist as soon as possible if you notice any of these symptoms:
What is a gynecologist?
A gynecologist is a physician that specializes in the female reproductive system, which includes the cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, vagina and vulva. Menstrual problems, contraception, sexuality, menopause and infertility problems are diagnosed and treated by a gynecologist; most gynecologists also provide medical care, and some provide primary care.
What does a gynecologist do?
Many women begin visiting a gynecologist from their early teens and continue to attend a clinic for overall health issues as well. Women are advised to pay a visit to a gynecologist yearly for a checkup, and any time that they have symptoms that concern them.
When you visit a gynecologist for a regular screening, these are what your gynecologist may do.
Here are some procedures that a gynecologist will do.
Diagnostic Activities:
Surgical tasks:
When to see a gynecologist?
A visit to the gynecologist is recommended for annual screening and any time a girl has concerns about symptoms such as pelvic, vulvar, and vaginal pain or abnormal bleeding from the uterus.
Conditions commonly treated by gynecologists are:
Tips on seeing a gynecologist
A visit to the gynecologist, especially if it's the first time for a young woman, could be pretty confusing in terms of what to expect. Here are some tips to help that.
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor (MD) or a doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) who specializes in vision and eye care. Ophthalmologists are trained to do eye examinations , diagnose and cure disease, prescribe drugs and perform eye surgery. In addition they write prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses.
What is an optometrist?
An optometrist is a eye doctor who has earned the Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree. Optometrists examine eyes to both vision and health problems, and correct refractive errors by prescribing glasses and contact lenses. Some optometrists also provide low vision care and vision treatment .
The biggest difference between the two is that an ophthalmologist is a medical doctor that specializes in the eye, and an optometrist is an eye doctor.
If your eyes are healthy and do not need specialized medical or surgical procedures, the type of eye doctor that you choose for a routine eye examination is a question of personal preference.
Optometrists and ophthalmologists both execute routine eye examinations and both kinds of eye doctors are trained to detect, diagnose and manage eye diseases that require medical and anti inflammatory therapy.
When should you see an ophthalmologist?
Ophthalmologists are trained to provide the full range of eye care, from prescribing glasses and contact lenses to performing complex and delicate eye surgery. They might also be involved in research about eye diseases and remedies. Some ophthalmologists will get additional fellowship training in a subspecialty field of ophthalmology, including retina, cornea, glaucoma, pediatrics, oculoplastics, refractive surgery, uveitis, pathology, or neuro-ophthalmology.
When should you see an optometrist?
Optometrists can perform an eye examination and can ascertain the existence of vision-related problems. They can also prescribe glasses and contact lenses. Based on the condition in which they practice, optometrists may be allowed to treat eye diseases and prescribe eye drops for various conditions, but they are not trained or licensed to perform surgery on the eye.
Seeing both an ophthalmologist and an optometrist
In many cases, care for a particular eye problem might be provided by an optometrist and an ophthalmologist working together. This arrangement is known as co-management.
In co-management, your primary care doctor (usually an optometrist) refers you to a specialist (usually an ophthalmologist) for a definitive diagnosis and treatment strategy. The ophthalmologist might opt to manage the problem medically, perform eye surgery, or even both. After the status is controlled or properly treated, the expert then sends you straight back to your primary care eye doctor, who proceeds to monitor and treat your condition or carry out post-operative care dependent on the specialist's recommendations.
Co-management is an especially good solution if you're quite happy with the standard of care you are receiving from your primary care doctor, but you desire to have any specific medical eye conditions treated by an experienced specialist.
Urology is an old practice of medicine, even going back to the time of the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, when doctors frequently examined pee's colour, odor, and texture. They also looked for bubbles, blood, and other indications of disease.
Today, urology is a complex area of medicine that has come very far. Here's a look at what urologists do and when you should consider seeing one.
What is a urologist?
Urologists diagnose and cure ailments of the urinary tract in both men and women. They also diagnose and treat anything involving the reproductive tract in men.
In some cases, they may perform operation. For instance, they may remove cancer or open a blockage in the urinary tract. Urologists operate in many different settings, such as hospitals, private practices, and urology facilities.
The urinary tract is the system which creates, stores, and eliminates urine in the body. Urologists can treat any component of the system. This includes the:
Urologists also treat all portions of the male reproductive system. This system Consists of the:
Manhood, which is the organ that releases urine and carries sperm from the entire body
prostate, that's the gland underneath the bladder that adds fluid to sperm to produce semen
testicles, which are the two oval organs inside the scrotum that make the hormone testosterone and create sperm
What is urology?
Urology is the field of medicine that focuses on diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive tract. Some urologists treat general ailments of the urinary tract. Others specialize in a particular kind of urology, such as:
Which conditions do urologists deal with?

You should also see a urologist if you are a male and you're experiencing these signs:
What is the flu or Influenza? As flu season arrives again, it's probably good to know what this nasty little bug actually is.
Influenza, or flu, is a respiratory disease brought on by a virus. Flu is highly infectious and is normally spread by the coughs and sneezes of an infected individual. You could also catch flu by touching an infected individual, for example, shaking hands. This means that you can spread the influenza virus before you know you are infected.
It typically goes around from the autumn through spring months. There are numerous types, depending on the type of protein that the virus carries. Here are the most common:
Influenza A: One type of seasonal influenza occurring in birds and some mammals.
Influenza B: The other type of seasonal flu that occurs mostly in mammals and seals.
Influenza C: Much milder type of seasonal influenza which may produce local epidemics.
Avian Flu: Spreads from birds to people in Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Swine Flu: Known as H1N1, it spreads from pigs to people.
The flu doesn't typically have long-term consequences in most people, and often resolves on its own. However, in rare situations, it can be fatal and causes 10,000 to 50,000 deaths a year. For that reason, it is important to stop it from spreading as far as possible.
Common symptoms of the flu include:
Usually, symptoms persist for approximately 1 week. On the other hand, the sensation of fatigue and gloom can persist for many weeks.
It's worth noting that not every single individual who has influenza is going to have all the symptoms; for example, it's likely to get flu without fever.
The best way to treat the flu is to not get it, via getting vaccinated. However, even with vaccination, you may end up catching the flu.
As flu is caused by a virus, antibiotics cannot help, unless the flu has led to a different illness caused by bacteria. Antivirals may be prescribed in some circumstances.
Painkillers can relieve some of the symptoms, such as headache and body pains. Numerous painkillers are available to buy online. It is very important to compare different products, and only take them under the advice of a health professional.
People with the flu should:
Flu shots are a must during flu season. But unfortunately, there's a lot of misinformation with flu shots. Not sure about whether you should get flu shots? Here are some facts vs fiction.
Fiction: The flu shot can give you the flu.
Fact: It is not possible to get the flu from a flu shot.
The majority of individuals don't have any negative effects from a flu shots, and when they do occur, they are typically quite mild. Although soreness, redness, tenderness, or swelling is common in which the flu shot is given, the flu shot can't cause you to catch the flu. This is because influenza vaccines are made out of viruses that are inactivated or weakened, and recombinant influenza vaccines don't have any virus at all.
When people report getting the flu after getting vaccinated, it's very likely that they were already sick or were exposed to the flu virus throughout the 2-week interval it takes for immunity to settle in. Another explanation is that some rhinoviruses, which are connected with the common cold, cause symptoms similar to the flu and may be wrongly understood as the flu.
Fiction: It is fine to skip the flu shot if you have gotten vaccinated in years before.
Fact: You need a flu shot every year.
Unlike the polio and chickenpox vaccines, protection via the flu shot declines over time, so an annual vaccination is required to get the best defense against the flu. Even though you might have some protection if you got the flu vaccine this past year, the surest way is to get it every year. Strains of influenza are diverse and may undergo changes, so it is important to get the most updated flu shots.
Fiction: Flu season has started, so it is too late for the flu shot.
Fact: It's not too late to find a flu vaccine until flu season is over.
So long as the flu is going around, vaccinations can still be beneficial, even in January or after because influenza activity can start as early as September and continue as late as May. This usually means you have loads of opportunity to come in contact with the flu.
Fiction: Pregnant women shouldn't get the flu shot.
Fact: Pregnant women should get the flu shot.
Because of the changes in the body during pregnancy, pregnant women, and individuals who recently gave birth, are more likely to undergo acute illness, hospitalization, and even death from the flu.
It also protects both the mother and the child. Flu antibodies are passed to the fetus during pregnancy and provide protection after birth, at a time when the child is too young to be vaccinated. Therefore, any woman who is pregnant or considering pregnancy during the flu season ought to be vaccinated.
Fiction: If you're young and fit, you do not need a flu shot.
Fact: It is important to get the flu shot for everybody older than 6 weeks.
The flu is a severe viral illness that could make anyone seriously ill, even healthy people. For those older than 65 or younger than 2, and individuals with chronic diseases, there can be a higher risk of getting the flu. However, for anyone outside of that group, you can still get the flu. Just children younger than 6 weeks and those with severe, life threatening allergies to flu vaccine should not get the flu shot.
Fiction: I received the flu shot, so it's not possible for me to get the flu.
Fact: The flu shot reduces your risk of getting the flu.
The flu shot is the best way to safeguard yourself and others around you from getting the flu. But in addition to getting vaccinated, it is possible to take regular preventive steps like washing your hands to decrease the spread of germs. The flu shot simply reduces your risk and it can't assure that you won't receive the flu. If you do get the flu despite getting the vaccine, your illness is generally considerably milder. If you're down with the flu, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading it to other people.
Flu vaccines are around the corner. The flu vaccine is your very best way to protect yourself against the flu virus. You need to get one every calendar year, unless you've got a medical reason not to.
How do flu vaccines work?
Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body approximately two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine.
The seasonal influenza vaccine protects against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. Conventional influenza vaccines are made to safeguard against three influenza viruses; an influenza A (H1N1) virus, an influenza A (H3N2) virus, and an influenza B virus. There are also flu vaccines made to protect against four influenza viruses (known as"quadrivalent" vaccines). These vaccines protect against the same viruses as the trivalent vaccine and an additional B virus.
Can I get the flu from getting flu vaccines?
No. The viruses in flu vaccines are dead. The nasal spray, which has a weak variant of the influenza virus, cannot give you the flu.
What are the potential side effects of flu vaccines?
Most people have no problems from flu vaccines.
You may have a mild fever and feel tired or achy subsequently. Some folks also have redness, soreness, or swelling where they got their shot. These issues are not severe and don't last long.
Serious side effects are infrequent. If they do happen, it's within a few minutes to a couple hours after you get the shot. Call your doctor right away if you have trouble breathing, feel weak or dizzy, or have a fast heartbeat afterward.
If you get the nasal spray, you might have side effects like a runny nose, cough, headache, and sore throat. These are milder and shorter than the actual flu.
Should I Talk to My Doctor Before I Get Flu Vaccines?
You Should Consult your doctor or pharmacist first if:
It's easy to feel hurried and confused at a doctor's appointment or unsure of the information and instructions you are given.
The medical system is complicated and may be overwhelming. But with a little preparation you can become your own health advocate. In order to get the best possible outcomes, it really helps to be active.
Here are some ways to make sure that you get the most out of a visit to the doctor.
Get Ready Ahead of the Doctor's Appointment.
How many times have you left a doctor's appointment only to think of a question that you wish you'd asked during the appointment? This can be easily resolved by creating a list of questions ahead of the visit to the doctor's. The questions can be about something complicated, including your treatment, or simple, like if you should get a flu shot. Write down your own questions, because it is so easy to forget everything you wanted to ask.
Describe Your Symptoms to the Doctor
Give all information regarding your symptoms and other health concerns, even when you're not asked. The doctor needs to understand why you are there and what is bothering you. Take into consideration which health problems you may have. Are you currently struggling with insomnia, or feeling depressed all of the time, or having even more heartburn than normal? The more information your doctor has, the better he or she can get to the bottom of what's going on with your body.
Ask the Doctor Questions
Remember, it is your body and you should be the person who is most motivated to know about what's going on with your body. It is much better to be pushy than not to understand what to do to take care of yourself. Ask your doctor anything and everything, and write down the answers.
Bring a Buddy to the Doctor's Appointment
Because doctor's appointments may be a little confusing, it will help to have an extra pair of ears to pick up on directions and other information. It is tough to keep track of all the information from your doctor. Having someone who can take notes and help you have more info can be helpful, because it can be overwhelming to listen to information about a new diagnosis or complicated changes to your medicines.
Bring Drugs You're Currently Taking
Bringing your current list of drugs to show your physician helps the physician understand what you're taking. Include the names of the medications, the doses, and the schedule of when you take those drugs. This includes vitamins, nutritional supplements, and over-the-counter medication. You can also simply put all of your pill bottles and other medicines in a reclosable plastic bag. That's easier for you because you don't need to write down complicated names and doses.
Get a Recap of the Appointment.
Before leaving your appointment, ask for a recap. Write things down, so you can recall what you talked about after the doctor's appointment. And also, make sure to know how to contact your physician's office if you have further questions. How are you supposed to let them know if the treatment is--or isn't--working? How can you get in touch with somebody?
