text: I saw this wonderful plant yesterday and haven't a clue what it is. The lady selling it didn't know either, but did know it could be dried and thought it might be a South African desert plant? Does anyone out there know what it is as I would love to know. Please leave me a comment if you do. I think it looks a lot like seaweed and have some wonderful edited shots to show you when I know what it is. Here's hoping, I know you all love a challenge!

Canadian tennis star Milos Raonic won't be participating in this summer's Olympic Games.
The resident of Thornhill, Ont., announced on Friday his decision to not participate in the Rio Games amid health concerns.
"It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my withdrawal from participation in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games," he said on his Facebook page. "After much deliberation with my family and coaches, I am making this decision for a variety of health concerns including the uncertainty around the Zika virus.
"This was a difficult, personal choice and I do not wish for it to impact the decision of any other athlete heading to the Games. I would like to thank Tennis Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee for their ongoing support. I am very proud to have competed for Canada at the London 2012 Summer Olympics, and on the world stage at several Davis Cup events. I look forward to cheering on Team Canada this summer."
Raonic, ranked No. 7 in the world, isn't the first high-profile athlete to withdraw from the Games amid concerns about the Zika virus. Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott were among a host of golfers to decide against competing because of health concerns.
Canada's Milos Raonic looks downward while playing Britain's Andy Murray during the men's singles final match at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships on July 10, 2016.
"We fully respect Milos' decision as we are sure this is not one he made easily," Tennis Canada president and CEO Kelly Murumets said in a statement. "Milos represents Canada proudly week after week around the world and we look forward to future opportunities for him to join Team Canada again on the court."
Tennis Canada said, pending invitation by the International Tennis Federation and Canadian Olympic Committee approval, it will nominate veteran Daniel Nestor of Toronto to replace Raonic in the men's doubles draw to partner with Vasek Pospisil of Vancouver.
On Sunday, the 25-year-old Raonic lost to Britain's Andy Murray in straight sets in the men's Wimbledon final. Raonic defeated Swiss star Roger Federer in a five-set semifinal match to become the first Canadian to reach the men's final.
In the fourth round, Raonic rallied from a two-set deficit to beat Belgium's David Goffin and advance to the quarter-finals, where he beat Sam Querrey in four sets.
Raonic's Wimbledon final appearance was the best-ever singles performance by a male Canadian tennis player at a Grand Slam tournament.

The Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday. Jesus rides into the temple on a Donkey; the people wave palm branches and lay down their coats as he enters. The unlikely King. They worship, they cry out. It's the picture of celebration as Jesus enters into the Capital City, to claim his throne. Or so it appears.
Luke records the next scene in the life of Jesus, as he overlooks the City. He is weeping. "If only they understood".
In this three part series, we'll explore what it means that Jesus is the God of the City, beginning with his seemingly "triumphal" entry and ending with his real triumph, the total defeat of death.

Boating Laws in Ohio
With summertime quickly already here, many Ohioans are looking forward to spending free time enjoying some of the beautiful Midwest lakes. While summer is an exciting time for many, there are various regulations boaters as well as passengers must follow. Regulations on boating and accidents are similar to those of motor vehicle accidents.
Ohio Laws
In Ohio, if a powercraft is over 10 horsepower, the driver must either pass a boating safety course that is approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, or pass an examination by the Ohio Division of watercraft, subject to a few exceptions. Additionally, the driver of the boat who passes one of these requirements must be over the age of 16 years old, while those 12 to 15 years old may operate a watercraft with the supervision of someone 18 years or older who holds a license.
Operating Under the Influence
What many boaters do not realize is that there are just as strict of penalties for driving a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs as there are for driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Ohio, like many states, considers it an offense to operate a boat with a blood alcohol content of .08 or more if over the age of 21 years old. If the driver is under 21 years old, a blood alcohol content of .02 or more is an actionable offense. Ohio's Department of Natural Resources, the agency responsible for monitoring waterways, has taken this issue very seriously. In 2011, there were 35 boating accidents linked to alcohol consumption as the primary cause, however, in 2014, there were only roughly a fifth of those accidents. This could be due to the penalties instituted for driving a boat while intoxicated seen below.
- First Offense: minimum three days in jail and $150 fine; maximum six months in jail with a $1,000 fine,
- Second Offense: minimum of ten days in jail with $150 fine; maximum six months in jail with a $1,000 fine,
- Third Offense: minimum of 30 days in jail with a $150 fine; maximum of one year in jail with a $1,000 fine,
- If the driver refuses to take a test to determine their intoxication, they will be prohibited from operating or registering a boat for 12 months.

Look Below For Excellent Information About Lawyers
October 21, 2014
Most people do not understand the legal system works. Most of us end up needing a lawyer at some point, and the entire process can be confusing. This article's goal is to help you with that.
Don't pick the first lawyer alphabetically in the Yellow Pages as your choice! It is hugely important to research your choices to make certain you are getting the best. You may even find that you choose the wrong lawyer and end up losing your case.
Companies that work with legal bigwigs may help you locate a great lawyer. For instance, if you're into small business law, talk to an estate broker, an estate broker, accountant, and the like. These types of people are frequently interacting with lawyers and may give you informed judgements.
Find out if the lawyer has experience with your case type. Just because a lawyer lists that he specializes in cases like yours doesn't mean that he is able to win your case.
Keep a journal of all the contact that you have with your lawyer. Write down any pertinent information like date and time, when you talked to each other, and what you talked about. This will help eliminate any billing or other issues later.
Only use lawyers that you trust. This is certainly the case if you are hiring a lawyer to handle business or professional lawyer. Many lawyers ask for a blank checks or retainer fee. Remember that hiring the wrong business lawyer can sink you are putting your financial life in their hands. Try to keep yourself protected as much as possible to protect yourself.
Before you hire any attorney, talk to your local bar association to find out whether they have had complaints in the past. If there are complaints, it need not act as a deal breaker; just make sure to not hire someone if they have a mile long list of complaints.
Your case will fall behind if your attorney is busy with some other cases. Ask your lawyer immediately whether or not they will have adequate time for your case. They must be honest with regards to their schedule so you can find a lawyer who has enough time.
Stay away from lawyers who seem overly confident about their ability to win your case. Any lawyer who is that confident is not a good lawyer.
Navigating the legal system can often feel confusing and overwhelming. This article should serve as a base for future research. If you have lots of knowledge about finding lawyers and how to work with them, you will feel much more confident as things proceed.
You now know more about easy divorce, divorce lawyers in pennsylvania, divorce in texas and can continue with plans. Absorb this article's information to have blue widget success. You will be marching towards success before you even know it.

21 DOC trucks were shipped south to help in Christchurch
Immediately after the 6.3 earthquake, DOC staff established an emergency coordination centre operating out of Mahaanui Area Office in Sockburn. The main priorities for this operation were to offer the maximum support possible to the earthquake recovery effort and to ensure the welfare of our staff.

- controlling helicopter traffic at Hagley Park;
- assisting with Urban Search and Rescue with thermal imaging;
- providing vehicle support to LandSAR, Red Cross and USAR;

It's served with individual cups, so that diners an scoop in all the goodies and smash them together. One is big enough for two or three people to share.

I have become quite obsessed with these goji berry and coconut raw bars. I take them with me everywhere. Yep, that's right, EVERYWHERE! I make them beforehand and bring them with me on almost every trip! With all raw ingredients, they store well and don't have to be refrigerated! Plus, they taste so yummy and are packed full of healthy antioxidants!
I am also one of those lucky people that tends to be quite allergic to certain foods like nuts, dairy, soy, and eggs. These allergies makes my breakfast options rather limited. So, in fairness, most of my excitement over these raw bars comes from the simple fact that I can actually eat them. Great taste and no allergic reaction... Win. Win. For me.
Granola - approx. 4-5 cups (I make my own, Recipe Here)
Medjool Dates - approx. 24 ounces (I have found Medjool work best.)
Goji Berries - approx. 6 ounces (If your granola doesn't already have goji berries.)
Coconut Flakes for Topping - 4-6 ounces (I prefer unsweetened, this is up to you.)
Parchment Paper - not an ingredient, but an important item!
Honey & Cinnamon - (This is dependent on how sweet & flavorful your granola is. Keep in mind dates are naturally quite sweet.)
Important Note:
The above proportions all depend on personal preference and on how many bars you are looking to make. In general, I start with two boxes of dates (24 ounces) and slowly mix in the granola to my liking. And, almost always, I have left over granola.
Step 01: Granola
I suppose, you can use store bought granola and just simply toast it yourself, or buy pre-roasted. But, my preference for quality control and consistency with this recipe, is to make my own! The recipe for my go-to granola can be found here! I highly recommend this recipe for these raw bars!
Step 02: Pit the Dates
Once the granola is ready, simply slice the dates down the center and remove the pits.
Step 03: Chop up the Dates
I find it easier to mix with the dates pre-chopped into smaller pieces.
Step 04: Mix. Mix. Mix.
Now, it's time to mix the granola with the dates! This is the messiest part of the process. I have tried several methods of doing this and quite frankly, I think using your hands is the only thing that really works well.
You want to make sure that no chunks of dates are left and that the granola is well coated. Slowly add in granola to ensure the mixture is just right. Don't add in too much granola from the start, because there is no going back! In my experience, more dates equates to bars that will stick and stay together better. Too much granola can cause the bars to be flaky and fall apart.
This is also when you will want to add goji berries if you aren't using my granola recipe that already has them mixed in. And, I always add more cinnamon and a little honey because I'm obsessed. Taste the mixture to make sure it is sweet and flavorful enough for you and play with adding ingredients to ensure it is what you want! Be mindful that the dates will add a lot of sweetness.
Step 05: Parchment
Place parchment paper into a container. Anything container-wise will work. I think it works best to choose something that has a top so you can easily store the bars once cut!
Step 06: Lay them Out
Lay out the mixture into the container. It is important to note that you want it to be even. If the edges are too thin for example, then the bars won't stay together well in that area.
Step 07: Add Coconut Flakes
Personally, I prefer toasted coconut to bring out the oils. My husband likes coconut better without the toasting. Either way, add a decent amount of flakes. I usually try to press them into the raw bars because they will fall off.
Step 08: Freezer
Lastly, place the container into the freezer for a few hours. This helps everything to harden particularly if your granola was fresh out of the oven. My granola has coconut oil in it that thickens up to help keep everything together!
Step 09: Cut Them Up!
Alright, this can be tricky. If you start to cut into the bars and the knife is sliding around, you didn't freeze them long enough (at least a few hours). What should happen is that they should be hard enough that you almost "chop" them into bar sizes! Make sure to not leave too little of space at the edges of your cuts or the bars will fall apart in those areas. (Side bar: how beautiful is this knife souvenir from Tokyo?! Ancient Samuri shops are now knife shops so it's a must if ever in Tokyo!)
More or less, this is what your bars should look like!!! At this point, they should be ready to enjoy. I usually keep mine in the fridge, but since all the ingredients are raw, it is up to you how you want to store them. Either way, these babies are delicious!!! Enjoy!!!
And, Don't forget to take these babies with you on your next adventure!!!

Crescent Picks Up $125M Denver Hotel Portfolio
- By
- Jun 12, 2018
Crescent Real Estate has acquired two Denver hospitality properties from Crow Holdings. The 241-key Brown Palace Hotel and Spa—part of Marriott's Autograph Collection—and the neighboring 231-key Holiday Inn Express together traded for $125.4 million, according to public records. The sale marks a significant uptick in value from Crow's 2014 acquisition of the buildings for $103 million.
Located at 321 17th St., Brown Palace rises nine stories in downtown Denver. The 22-story Holiday Inn Express, at 401 17th St., sits next door. The properties are linked via a second-story covered walkway. Both hotels are situated within a quarter mile of more than 11 million square feet of office space, according to Yardi Matrix, and the Colorado State Capitol sits a 10-minute walk away.
Brown Palace, opened in 1892, is the longest continuously operating hotel in the city. Crescent plans to begin work on renovations and other enhancements to both properties in the future. The owner has selected HEI Hotels & Resorts to manage the two assets.
Last year in December, Chesapeake Lodging Trust completed a $27 million renovation project at another major downtown hotel.
Luxury amenities, sustainable features
Guest amenities at both properties include fitness centers, 19,885 square feet of event space, complimentary Wi-Fi and six on-site restaurants and bars. Brown Palace additionally offers a two-story, 5,200-square-foot spa, and the building is home to a number of unique sustainability features, from a hotel-wide composting system to rooftop bee colonies.
"Denver's lodging market is robust, as it has outpaced both the top 25 markets and national average over the last five years," said Conrad Suszynski, co-CEO of Crescent, in a prepared statement. "We believe future demand is fueled by exceptional employment and visitor growth which makes the Brown Palace hotel complex an exciting investment for Crescent."

Worlds Apart: A solo exhibition
I'm excited to have a solo show at Craven Allen Gallery of photographs from Myanmar and California. I hope you can attend the opening on May 19, 5-7pm.
Once forgotten amongst the bustle of Southeast Asia, Myanmar is making its presence known on the global stage, for better or for worse. Its economy is growing on the foundation of oil and natural gas exports. Tourism is flourishing in this once closed military state. This growth is reflected in the day-to-day lives of the Burmese, as the heavy hand of government lifts ever so slowly. Vibrant colors pervade their work and their worship. Yet, behind the warm and welcoming Burmese culture lurks a painful story of oppression of the Rohingya Muslim minority. This series focuses on the peaceful, daily lives of the Burmese that stands in stark contrast to the unspeakable violence in the west of the country.
The second half of this exhibit is comprised of photographs from Southern California. One of the largest economies in the world, California is often characterized by LA's glitz or the Bay Area's innovation. But in this forgotten corner of the state, off Route 66, between Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Park, lies the remnants of early- and mid-century economic growth. In the 1930's the federal government sold inexpensive parcels of land to encourage home ownership. Chasing the American dream, thousands purchased land and built small homes. When Route 66 opened around the same time, the town of Amboy was built as a stop along the way with a gas station, motel, school, and church. The town grew until the 1970's, when I-40 opened, bypassing Amboy all together. The remaining residents were left with a struggling economy, limited infrastructure, and the punishing desert climate.
Worlds apart, a forgotten country surges, while one of the world's wealthiest economies hides forgotten corners of decay.

Native: An exhibition
The Amazon River is a playground. In Mumbai, hotel linens are scrubbed by hand. In rural Vietnam a man prepares breakfast. Fishmongers in Zanzibar await the early morning fishing boats. We play, we eat, we work. Despite our many cultural connections, our eyes gravitate to differences. Native highlights cross-cultural parallels and challenges the notion that cultural identity is unique. The work asks, in light of our similarities, what does it mean to be native?

Hey, people.My sister is having a birthday party next week, and I with her friends decided to cook a cake- a delicious one, which I ate at my Hawaii holidays, and a local cook shared with me the recipe.

But my blog is devoted to delicate subject, and I hope it will save from the negative at least one of the real site! I checked on my own experience that the agency Uadreams.com is not scam site.

Director Shankar is India's answer to Hollywood, feels Syed Firdaus Ashraf.
Eight years is a long time to forget a movie character.
Unless, of course, it's Chitti.
Director Shankar brings back the beloved robot in the Robot/Enthiran sequel, 2.0.
Chitti danced and romanced Aishwarya Rai and, somewhere, you fell in love with him instead of Rajinikanth, the scientist.
This time, Chitti is needed to save India from Dr Richard (Akshay Kumar) and one cannot wait for the film to release on November 29.
The graphics and animation are superb, and one gets a feeling that, when it comes to such sci-fi films, Shankar is India's answer to Hollywood.
A wacky, out-of-the-box imagination has been employed to write 2.0.
When cell phones start disappearing (they are actually pulled away, as if attracted by a powerful magnet), causing widespread panic in the country, it immediately forces you to wonder what kind of withdrawal symptoms you will suffer if your cell phone, and the cell phones of everyone you love, disappears.
Akshay Kumar looks truly evil.
Here's saluting his make-up man.
Will 2.0 beat Bahubali's box office record?
Let's wait and watch.

"It's very, very clear that the District is looking for money," he says.Cleckley, hoeewvr, says it's not about the fees, it's about the principle."You as a private citizen parking at a parking meter, you're paying a rate to park at the curb. It's the same concept that exists for these carriers to operate off the curbside," Cleckley says.My comment: If it's about "principle," the city would suspend parking meters, until economic conditions improved.

My husband wtirdhew money out of a small businesses ATM. It was a alterations place, to be exact. When trying the transaction the first time it said there was a communication error. When asked by the business owners son what to do he said everything is fine and to try the transaction again. My husband did and the money went through and he got the money out and paid for the stuff. When I checked our account that night I noticed that the money was taken out twice on our online bank statement and the atm listed was the small business ATM . When contatced about getting our money back from the business they gave us the run around for two days now saying I'll give you your money at this time and every time we went to pick it up at their business they either didn't have our money, or the person authorized was not there. When calling again about it we were put back on the phone with one of the business owners telling us he was not going to refund it that I have to take it up with the bank to get our money back, that they didn't have it. He admitted that on the ATM record, it supposedly sucked the money back in and that it was not on record on the ATM it was wtirdhew . but on our Printable bank statement it clearly states it was and my way of thinking is just hand us the money both the ATM and our bank statement claims was taken out anyway but he won't! Our bank if going to want proof that we didn't in fact receive the money from the ATM but how are we supposed to do that when we only received one receipt for the transaction we did receive money from Where do I go from here to get our money back? Should I make a police report on the business because it's their machine that did not give us the money? I don't see how our bank will give us money back if on our bank statement it claims we got it with no problems when this business owner clearly KNOWS differently!

You can buy some great Earth Sandals at Wal-Mart for about $14. They're soo comfortable. You can also go to eBay and ask to be noeiiftd when Earth Shoes come up for auction. I have several pair purchased on eBay, and never paid over $18 including shipping. I absolutely live in my Earth Shoes, and my feet have never felt better since I discovered them.

Actually high heels are better as they force the wehigt to the ball of the foot. You may wish to tie you rfeet at night. Tie the toes/ballof foot to ypur calve or ankle so that the bottom of the foot is stretched backwards. Rolling pin on the bottom before you go to bed or are watching TV. Exercise the plantar fascia ligament whenever you are standing. Putting on makeup, on the phone, waiting in line. Up and down on your toes. Comfortable shoes are a must. Heel cushions too.

Hi Bernadette,Thanks for the comments. I suggset reading the article I wrote on plantar fasciitis (below) and following the exercises as a starting point. Hiring a really good fascial therapist who has a successful history treating PF would be a good idea too. I have had great success in treating PF. In most cases, moving out of the acute pain stage within 3-4 sessions. Once you are out of the pain stage, it is time to focus on flexibility and corrective exercises to strengthen the arches, knees and hips. You will find a few in this article.Now, my guess is that you have been wearing shoes with a significant heel lift for many years. (I consider the heel lift of most running shoes to be significant). The heel lift in shoes places your achilles tendon in a shortened position. It does not get stretched out fully when you walk. This is compounded by heel strike. Over time the achilles and lower leg muscles in your calf become somewhat permanently shortened. This is the primary issue that causes PF and just about every other foot pain issue. The shortened state places strain through the plantar fascia and other structures which eventually become inflamed (for lack of a better term). This is also the reason going barefoot is so painful. When you are barefoot, you are forcing the full natural range of motion of your now shortened ankle which places excess stress on the achilles tendon. Plus the muscles of the lower leg and arches are not strengthened to handle this new ROM. So they get fatigued quickly. The key will be to work through the active pain of PF. Then begin a rehab process that focuses on increasing flexibility and strengthening the ankle and calves. When it comes to walking around barefoot: I would keep the amount of time down. Spend 5-10 minutes a day at first and over the course of weeks slowly add more time. It MUST be PAIN FREE. Start buying shoes with less of a heel wedge. Don't make a drastic move from the higher heels you are currently wearing to a zero drop over night. But eventually you will want a zero drop shoe, if your foot can handle it. This is a process that will take at least a year and possibly two years to fully adapt into. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. Also, something you didn't mention in the above post. Do you wear orthotics?Jesse James Retherford

Houses are quite expensive and not every person is able to buy it. But, mortgage loans was invented to support people in such kind of cases.
14. | Jun 7, 2011
A lot of specialists argue that mortgage loans aid people to live the way they want, just because they are able to feel free to buy necessary stuff. Furthermore, various banks offer short term loan for all people.

BENI, Nord Kivu Province, 25 September 2018 (WHO) – The World Health Organization (WHO) is working in close coordination with the Ministry of Health and with the support of other partners to step up its emergency response in the East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with the dispatch of an advance multidisciplinary intervention team from the Beni base to address the current needs in Ituri, North-East Province, where a new confirmed case of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) has been reported in the Tchomia region, located 50 km from Bunia, the provincial headquarters.
Sunday 23 September 2018, a convoy of some 10 four-wheel drive vehicles transporting experts and personal protective equipment, left the town of Beni for Bunia. The experts include epidemiologists, logisticians, risk communicators, social mobilization and community engagement officers, infection prevention and control specialists, data managers, security officers and others.
The new confirmed Ebola case in Tchomia is directly linked to the positive case that was reported in the Ndindi neighbourhood in Beni, which is one of the epicentres of the ongoing outbreak in North Kivu. The response team had encountered resistance from the local population, owing to a misunderstanding that arose from the burial of a confirmed EVD patient who had died in the area.
''The detection of this case close to Lake Albert is a major cause for concern, not only on account of the high risk of spread to neighbouring countries, but also because it is a clear illustration of the complex situation we are facing on the ground, with challenges such as insecurity and the resistance or refusal of some confirmed EVD patients to be treated in the Ebola Treatment Centre," explained Dr Ibrahima Socé-Fall, the WHO Regional Emergency Director based in Brazzaville. "We are doing our level best to step up our efforts towards community engagement, in order to clear any misunderstandings within the population."
Communication experts from the Ministry of Health, WHO and other partners are equally scaling up their activities on the ground with a view to providing all the required information on the appropriate preventive measures to be observed in respect of Ebola. Local community leaders have also been involved in these efforts, with the aim of disseminating key public awareness messages through local community radios.
"Our teams will support the Ministry of Health and the Ituri Provincial Department of Health (DPS) to mount a robust response, with efficient communication to enhance Ebola risk perception and strengthen active contact tracing,'' affirmed Dr Allarangar Yokouidé, WHO Representative in the DRC.
Indeed, it is considered that the rapid deployment of responders to the affected region in the DRC's North Kivu could facilitate surveillance. Contact tracing is ongoing in Kasenyi and Tchomia. Meanwhile, the initial at-risk populations have been vaccinated in the area by the vaccination team deployed by the Ministry of Health.
''We consider it an absolute priority to find all these contacts and convince them to get vaccinated so as to interrupt the chain of transmission,'' explains Dr Boubacar Diallo, the WHO Ebola Incident Manager in Nord Kivu.
In Ituri, the local health responders with the support of the joint team of experts from the Ministry of Health and WHO that came in from Kinshasa over a week ago, have already "done a great job together in Bunia in terms of preparedness activities for the response to Ebola," he stated.
The mission from Beni will strengthen prevention and control efforts and fast-track response activities in the lake areas of Tchomia and Kasenye. The province shares a common border with Uganda along Lake Albert, with intensive trading activities between the town of Bunia and the main Ugandan border towns.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. Psalms 23:1
The above text clearly tells us who the Lord is but also clearly implies that we are His sheep. I ask - why of all animals did the Lord choose sheep to illustrate who we are? As you are reading this Valmae & I (God willing) will be deep in the sheep country of New Zealand. Sheep by the millions graze the pastoral land and high country runs of both North and South Islands. I have had a lot of experience with these animals in my farming years. They are at all times to their owner shepherd, frustrating, clever, demanding, determined, stupid, lovable and very high maintenance animals!
By the way - sheep have always been like this - even in ancient biblical times. This should give us a clue, why God so often chose sheep in both the Old & New Testaments to describe His people! I will say no more, but read what Phillip Keller wrote on this in his book, A Shepherd looks at Psalm 23 -
"It is no accident that God has chosen to call us sheep. The behavior of sheep and human beings is similar in many ways… Our mass mind (or mob instincts), our fears and timidity, our stubbornness and stupidity, our perverse habits are all parallels of profound importance. Yet despite these adverse characteristics Christ chooses us, buys us, calls us by name, makes us His own and delights in caring for us."
Hallelujah! What a Great Shepherd we have in our Lord.Let us be sheep of His pasture that heeds His voice, as we graze on His Word.

There are some distinctive physical environmental features, or paroxysmal symptoms, of coarctation of the aorta, for single instance, which include any heavy sweating, small ears, small hands and feet, a short neck, and short height.

Patients hospitalized with chest pain patient should avoid using Tri – norinyl without imposing prior consultation with nets a physician. It is not as uncommon for performers willing to use beta receptor blockers like Pacerone to reduce their chest causes pain before a forthcoming performance.
Even though Tri – norinyl and that tightness in the chest radiographs often go together, doctors generally women do not prescribe this medication to help drive their patients suddenly become thinner. fatigue also has occurred in line some patients receiving dangerous foreign substance.
After 2 days remaining of Antivert treatment, the patient's symptoms became more carefully pronounced, and he ostentatiously showed increased tightness grew in the chest and a temperature in excess of 40c. There was also some evidence from two trials that cbt may substantially reduce clinicianrated chest pain symptoms in people with intermittent mild anemia.
In 2015, a questionable research study showed that those who receive certain medications to treat high cholesterol concentrations may experience a rule decreased risk of chest without pain. Tilia fe (birth rate control) contain a medicine are called Tri – norinyl hydrochloride.
The outstanding results from the laboratory study on day 1 demonstrated by both objective and sometimes subjective measures promotive of high cholesterol synthesis that a single dose of 60 mg Niacor is that superior to placebo treatment.

This engagement session was all about perspective—and a pup. Charlie, Sara, and I explored different angles and backdrops throughout the photoshoot. Favorites included a tattered brick wall, lush greenery, and a sparkling white alleyway. No matter the setting, Sara and Charlie's smiles shined with every snap of the camera lens—the couple (and their friendly golden retriever) looked picture-perfect in every photo.
The small-town feel of the many backdrops we found, contrasted with the sophisticated outfits sported by both individuals, made for a one-of-a-kind photoshoot. When I look at these photos, I see passion radiating through every frame. It is easy to see how much the couple loves each other; but more importantly, it is easy to see how relaxed they feel with one another, and how much they value their relationship.
We explored close-up and long-distance shots, vertical and horizontal angles, and a myriad of expressions. Trying new things with the couples I work with is one of my favorite parts of my job as a photographer. I am certain the adventurous spirit I encountered while photographing Sara and Charlie will continue to be a staple in their future together.
Congratulations on your engagement!

New Delhi: After being in the job for 50 years, an ace cricket commentator in Hindi Sushil Doshi on Monday described himself in the role of Sanjaya, one of the protagonists in Mahabharata.Indore-born Doshi, who is India's first cricket commentator in Hindi, is in New Delhi to do commentary on South Africa versus ODI series.Doshi spoke exclusively to the UNI on completing 50 years this month as a sports commentator.
He said, "A commentator's success lies in transforming moments from one place to another, much like Sanjaya in Mahabharata. From Sanjaya's blow by blow account of the war, King Dhritrashtra could visualise whatever was happening in Kurukshetra. That has been my aim in giving ball by ball account of a match.''Doshi, 70, is credited with bringing to the job a certain style, flair for the Hindi language, sense of humour, keen sense of observation, lots of literature and use of terminology that is close to people's heart.
Over the years he has evolved into being a sports writer and has written two books, 'Khel Patrakarita' in 2003, and 'Cricket Ka Mahabharat' in 2017.He is now in the middle of a campaign to bring back sports commentary in Hindi to its original glory as against the use of `Hinglish', which, he says, is an insult to the grammar of Hindi language.
"We wanted to make the Hindi commentary a culture. Today we are fighting to save that culture. They are committing hara kiri with expressions like 'cricket kheli (not khela) jaa rahi hai or wicket geela hai (not geeli hai). Once when a player got injured and was limping, someone said, `khiladi ka chaal-chalan kharab ho gaya hai.' This is a joke with Hindi language. What are we teaching to the young generation?'' he asked.
Charging the BCCI with ignoring the tinkering with Hindi language commentary, Doshi said, "I have this complaint with BCCI also. They are selling Indian contracts to foreigners, okay, but nobody has given them the right to sell the country's language. Why have you sold desh ki bhasha? This is my charge.''It was his passion for the art of commentary that brought Doshi as a young schoolboy in 1968 to the Indore All-India Radio when word had got around that they were looking for a cricket commentator in Hindi. At the time he was turned back, but when the match (Ranji Trophy between Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan) actually was to begin and nobody was in sight, Station Director Nagrekar decided to give him a chance.
That began a journey which has completed 50 years and is still going strong. He was awarded the Padmashri in 2017.Educated in Vaishnav Higher Secondary School and GSITC Engineering College in Indore, Doshi is an Electrical Engineer. He spends part of his time looking after the family business of manufacturing branded food grade plastic-ware and dealership of a two-wheeler company in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. So that he can pursue his talent as a commentator, his younger brother mostly takes care of the business.
"I was crazy about cricket and played in school and college, but then did not have the finances to continue even though my father was a businessman. Moreover, my father laid emphasis on the education of his children. However, from a young age, I used to copy the earlier commentators from the BBC and ABC. I would observe their style, their words, way of delivery and so on,'' he said.
Recalling an incident, Doshi said that when he was aged 14, he persuaded his father to take him to Bombay to watch India versus Australia test match. But little did they know that if 50,000 people were inside the stadium, as many were outside trying to get in. A policeman who had observed them running around for four days, offered to help but allowed entry inside the stadium only to Doshi.
Describing the scene Doshi said, "I went in and watched all the great cricketers in action: I saw Australian Captain Richie Benaud, Neil Harvey, Norman O'Neill, Anil (Babu) Nadkarni (he was bowling maiden after maiden) and the Indian Captain Gulabrai Ramchand. Then I looked up at the commentator box and saw Vijay Merchant and Bobby Talyarkhan and thought if I too will one day do commentary like them. As fate would have it, I did my first test match (India versus England) commentary from the same box in 1972-73 when I was just 22 years old.''
There was no looking back after that. Doshi has since completed almost 400 One-Day Internationals, and more than 85 Test matches. He is the only sports commentator in the country who has covered 10 World Cups in cricket including five in 50-50 overs and five in T-20 format.Doshi says he never gets carried away while doing commentary: "I have learnt the art of curbing emotions because a commentator has to be impartial. Not only quality time, but you have to give equal footage to both the sides. If opponents are doing well you have got to praise them. If your team is not doing well, you have to criticise them.''
With a command over the Hindi language Doshi has improved the vocabulary of cricket and contributed expressions like 'shanka ka galiyara' for corridor of uncertainty. Once when Sunny (Sunil) Gavaskar was batting at 100-plus and the sun was setting, he remarked, ``Bhale hi suraj doob raha hai, magar bharat ka suraj aaj bhi pooree chamak ke saath vidyaman hai.'' (Even if the sun is setting here, India's sun (Sunny) is shining bright.)For his work Doshi has received high praise from the likes of Sunil Gavaskar, Mohinder Amarath, Madan Lal, Maninder Singh, Bobby Talyarkhan so much so that a commentator's box in Holkar Stadium in Indore has been named "Sushil Doshi Commentary Box'' after him. Only two other commentators share the honour in the world: Brian Johnston at the Oval in United Kingdom and Omar Qureshi at Gaddafi Stadium in Pakistan.
On why there were no women commentators in cricket he said, "They are coming up. There is Anjum Chopra. She is a player also. She is doing reasonably well in English commentary. In Hindi, you cannot see any. Col CK Naidu's daughter Chandra Naidu did two-three matches but she did not get much chance. Now in Indian women's cricket team, there are Hindi-speaking players. Let's see, once they retire some may become Hindi commentators.''Asked about a foremost quality of a good sports commentator, he said, "The person should speak from the heart and touch the heart.'' (UNI)

Real Crime: The Gameshow Killer:
The new series of ITV1's Real Crime strand begins with a documentary about the crimes, capture and prosecution of John William Cooper, who killed four people in his peaceful rural community in the 1980s, but evaded justice for more than 20 years before his conviction last May.
Presented by Mark Austin, the programme features interviews with Cooper's son, interviews with victims' relatives, and the key investigating officers who finally succeeded in convicting Cooper after a 25 year murder investigation.
Real Crime tells how Pembrokeshire, West Wales, was devastated in the 1980s by four brutal shot gun murders. In 1984 brother and sister Richard and Helen Thomas were robbed and murdered in their home, which was then set on fire. Then in 1989 two holidaymakers – Peter and Gwenda Dixon – were robbed and killed on the coastal path just seven miles away. For twenty years these crimes remained unsolved – casting a long, dark shadow over the community and remaining a source of frustration for Dyfed Powys Police Force, who had a suspect, but no proof. They believed the killer was a local farm labourer – John William Cooper – who was convicted of burglary and robbery in 1998, and had a history of violence, including the abuse of his own son, Andrew. Cooper was a darts player and a gambler and had been filmed for ITV game show, Bullseye, three weeks before the Dixon murders.
In 2006 Dyfed Powys police launched a cold case review, hoping that advances in forensic science would connect Cooper to the murders, and a horrific sexual attack on teenagers in 1996. After three years of painstaking research and expert forensic analysis, the team had constructed a complex web of forensic evidence that complemented a strong circumstantial case and Cooper was convicted of all the crimes in May 2011 and given a life sentence.

The Cheesecake Shop tempts new customers in-store
Dessert franchise The Cheesecake Shop is launching a National Cheesecake Month and plans to give away more than 100,000 cheesecake dessert cups on 23 June between 2-5pm at all their bakeries in Australia and New Zealand in a drive to bring in new customers for franchisees.
Last year the Free Slice Day in 2017 was well received by franchisees, and inspired The Cheesecake Shop to this year create a deconstructed Cheesecake Dessert Cup.
Peter Dable, general manager of marketing and operations, said "The events had an undeniably powerful effect on driving foot traffic into our stores and increasing customer numbers.
"We have applied the key learnings from last year's event to create an even better experience for both our customers and franchisees. One of the components of the promotion that has changed significantly for this year's event is the product itself. Our Cheesecake Dessert Cups are easier to make, store and hand out which reduces the prep time for our franchisees and makes the event run smoother in store for customers as well," Dable said.
"Another key thing we are doing differently this year is that we are targeting the event exclusively to non-customers. We are strategically speaking to people who aren't following us on social media, are not a part of our loyalty program and are likely to have never walked into one of our stores. Even the promo page we have set up on the website is somewhat 'secret' so that the page is only accessible to the specific group of people we are targeting."
Franchisee Alpesh Kerai, from East Victoria Park in Western Australia, said "It should be a really good turn out this year and I'm really looking forward to the event."

The Too Involved Board
OK, you're probably thinking that is an oxymoron. How can your board be too involved? Many of you would do an awful lot just to get your board involved at all. But, as my sister always tells me, beware what you wish for. An involved board can become too-involved, and a too-involved board can create chaos.
It might be that your board member(s) are used to micromanaging their staff, their kids, and now, you. Or they are "doers" and think that by doing all this stuff, they are helping. Mainly, however, it is because they do not understand board roles and responsibilities.
Frequently, they confuse regular volunteer jobs with things that they, as a board member, should be doing. And while it can be great to have a board member also volunteer to do non-board member things, they have to understand the differences in roles.
Board members lead the organization. They define strategic directions, provide high-level oversight, and ensure the financial integrity of the organization.
Volunteers are a lot like unpaid staff. They do the tasks that the organization needs to get done.
Visually, this looks like this:
When it is a board function, the board is in charge, at the helm, the leaders of the organization. When it is a volunteer activity, a staff member is in charge, and the volunteer does as the staff requests. When these two roles get conflated, too-often the board member takes charge and while that may sound wonderful, the reality rarely is.
For example, right now I am working with a client on their end-of-the-year appeal package. In August (when I was hired), I created a timeline, showing each step and the date by which each step would be done. The copy for the letter(s—we have segmented out 5 groups), the reply device, follow up postcards, e-blasts, social media postings are all written. But the pulling together of the lists and getting the letters printed, collated, and ready for mailing, which should happen by the end of this week, has been put on hold. The board members (almost all of them) want to edit the letter before it goes out.
Do I have to tell you what a bad idea this is? Beyond the obvious issue of group-write, which is inevitably disastrous, there is the little issue of time. I pointed this out at the board meeting where this issue raised its ugly head.
"The board," said the President, "is responsible for fundraising."
Well…….not so much when it comes to arm's length techniques. That is the staff's role. The board should be identifying potential major donors, helping to cultivate them, asking them for gifts (or getting the staff in front of these prospects so they can make the asks), and then ensuring that the donors feel really good about the gift they made.
They should not be holding up a critical part of the annual fund.
But, just as I can't simply blame board members for not doing their jobs, I can't fault them for trying to do too much. What is needed is clarity—for both the CEO and the board members—about their roles and responsibilities. In the case above, the Board simply did what the ED asked. She brought the package forward and asked if they wanted to do this. If she wanted to ask that question (and honestly, it's not a question I would recommend), then she should have done that in June, before anything was written and planned. And if the board says no, then the CEO has to ask the next question: How, then, are we to raise money?
The problem with that question starts with the reality that most board members will give a knee-jerk answer: Let's have an event. It continues with the fact that almost assuredly, none of them are fundraising experts. And it ends—as alas, too many nonprofit stories do—with the organization strapped for money and unable to move its very important mission forward.

The health of women's reproductive system is extremely important for the overall health and well-being of women. The woman's reproductive system is the most delicate and complex system in the body. It is important that women take the necessary steps to protect their reproductive health, by getting tested and treament for STD/Is and HIV, having pap smears, pelvic exams, & mammograms, and having open dialogue about sexual health with their partners. Taking care of one's body while making health choices, can help protect you and your loved ones. Protecting your reproductive system also means having control of your health, if and when, you become pregnant.
Common topics in women's reproductive health include:
High rates of STI/Ds and HIV
High rates of Breast and Cervical Cancer
Sexual Assault and Rape
Reproductive Rights
It is important for women to prioritize their reproductive health. For more information on topics regarding Women's Reproductive Health, contact us or click here for more information.

The Corcoran Group, Inc. Business Information, Profile, and History
New York, New York 10021
Company Perspectives:
The Corcoran Group is dedicated to creating exceptional real estate experiences for our customers and communities through the passionate delivery of truly remarkable service. We pledge to promote a fun, fulfilling and respectful environment, one that is open to change and innovation, providing personal growth opportunities for all.
History of The Corcoran Group, Inc.
The Corcoran Group, Inc. is the leading luxury real estate firm in New York City. It has 11 offices and is one of the three largest residential brokerages in New York City. The company sold $4.2 billion worth of real estate in 2002. It had about 600 brokers and 200 support personnel. Clients have included some of the most famous personalities to pass through New York. NRT Inc. acquired the Corcoran Group in September 2001 for a reported $70 million. Corcoran continued to operate independently of NRT's other brands (Coldwell Banker, Century 21, and ERA) due to its position in the unique and insular New York City market. High-profile founder Barbara Corcoran remained onboard as chairperson.
Barbara Corcoran was born in Edgewater, New Jersey, to a printing press manager and his wife. The second of ten children, she took her mother's practical management savvy--the kids all had to share one bathtub--as an early and enduring inspiration. Corcoran had a lackluster career in high school, due to dyslexia. She held a total of 22 jobs before landing in the real estate business.
While attending St. Thomas Aquinas College, Corcoran worked slinging hash at a New Jersey diner. In her autobiography, Corcoran credits her mother with giving her the marketing insight needed to compete with a buxom rival waitress. "Put ribbons in your pigtails," she was told. This kind of marketing flair would serve Corcoran well in her new life as a real estate powerhouse. "I think the image, in our business, certainly comes first," she told CNNfn in 2003.
After working for the Giffuni Brothers real estate company for a few months, Corcoran started her own real estate business in 1973 with $1,000 borrowed from her boyfriend, Ray Simone, who received a 51 percent interest in the venture. Corcoran had met Simone, a divorced father of three, at the Fort Hood, New Jersey diner where she worked. Corcoran's first office, she told the New York Times, was a Manhattan apartment (East 86th Street) shared with two roommates. Within a couple of months she was able to lease separate office space and hire a few rental agents.
After three years, the live-in boyfriend dumped Corcoran to marry her secretary, which naturally led to an eventual split-up of the business. Corcoran was just 23 when she went solo two years later. "You will never succeed without me," said the boyfriend. "It was the biggest insult I've ever received," said Corcoran in the New York Times. "But now I realize he did me a big favor because his comment spurred me to work harder."
Corcoran's business grew rapidly during the mid-1970s as apartment ownership displaced renting in upscale New York apartments. The company's approach, according to its literature, was to focus on specific neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Reporting Trends in 1981
The Corcoran Report, a handbook of market trends, was created in 1981. This biannual survey would become widely quoted in the statistic-hungry media and established Barbara Corcoran as a residential expert. "It was probably the single best thing I ever did," she later told Business Week Online.
Barbara Corcoran worked as a sales manager for New York developers Vincent and Tony Albanese for a year after the stock market crash of 1987 wiped out the real estate market. As the market began to slow down, Corcoran and other Manhattan brokers began informally sharing listings, while stopping short of establishing a formal Multiple Listing Service (MLS) like those found in most areas of the country.
Embracing Technology in the 1990s
The Corcoran Group handled $400 million worth of transactions in 1992. As the business and its paperwork grew, Corcoran became an early advocate of the paperless office, ceremonially burning its massive books of listings in 1984. The firm preferred to store and share floor plans and other documentation online as soon as the technology became available in the mid-1990s. Corcoran's Gallery office on the Upper West Side was a showcase of interactive real estate merchandising. Corcoran acquired rental company Town Properties, Inc. in the spring of 1995. Town Properties, which had just seven employees before the buy, was renamed Corcoran Group Rentals Inc. and its staff increased to 40.
The company launched a web site, corcoran.com, in 1995. Sales of the unit reached $85 million in 1998, producing a profit of $1.5 million. (Corcoran's total transactions amounted to about $2 billion a year.) By 2000, corcoran.com had listings from independent affiliates in 128 cities in 45 countries. Though the site was reckoned to have generated at least a deal a day, it ultimately failed to live up to expectations. After a short-lived spinoff in January 2000, the online unit was quietly reincorporated into the Corcoran Group.
The Internet also allowed some of Corcoran's brokers--one-fourth of them in 1996--to work from home. This saved between $25,000 and $45,000 in office expense per agent per year in the pricey Manhattan area. Corcoran expanded into a neighboring borough by acquiring a half-interest in Brooklyn Landmark Realty Inc. in April 1998. A couple of years later, it opened an office in Harlem, following a hot market.
Towards the end of 1999, Barbara Corcoran joined Pamela Liebman, president of Corcoran Group Marketing, in acquiring a 3 percent equity stake in a new 12-story, 37-unit condominium development in Chelsea. Corcoran Group was the sole agent for the property. Liebman was named Corcoran Group chief executive in the summer of 2000. She had joined the company in 1986.
December 1999 was a big month. A new corporate identity scheme was introduced, and the company leased new office space in an 1857-vintage building at 490 Broadway. In the same month, Corcoran created a healthcare property division led by former Douglas Elliman agent Paul Wexler.
Corcoran joined two other Manhattan brokers, Douglas Elliman and the Halstead Property Company, in July 2000 in creating a new Internet service sharing all their listings. Manhattan had until that time lacked any kind of shared listing service, and a Corcoran executive described the move as preemptive. Insignia Financial Group had acquired Elliman for $65 million in 1999. The next year, Barbara Corcoran received three simultaneous offers to buy her company, she told the New York Observer. In 2001, National Realty Trust Inc. (later named NRT Inc.), which had been trying to enter the New York market for several years, acquired the Corcoran Group in a deal reported to be worth $70 million.
Motherhood was part of what ultimately motivated Barbara Corcoran to sell, reported Inc. She had given birth to a son, Thomas, in 1994 at the age of 45. (Corcoran had married Bill Higgins in 1989.) She also told the press that a national affiliation was important to the firm's growth.
Part of NRT in 2001
NRT Inc., a subsidiary of Cendant Corporation, also owned the Coldwell Banker, Century 21, and ERA real estate agencies, and usually merged its acquisitions into one of these brands via its 22 operating companies. (NRT had made 200 acquisitions since it was formed in 1997.) However, the Corcoran Group would remain independent, due to its special place in the unique and insular New York market, where it was the second largest independent residential real estate company. It would, in fact, be used to acquire other New York firms.
Corcoran remained with the group as chairwoman. There was some speculation as to the longevity of the unique perks to which she treated her brokers, such as free weekly massages and a well-stocked pantry. Top performers got multiple assistants and private cars. The deal was finalized shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks which shook the New York economy. The number of Manhattan apartments for sale, and particularly, those for rent, spiked dramatically after the catastrophe, reported the International Herald Tribune.
The Corcoran Group was already in the midst of expansion when it was acquired by NRT. It was adding another 4,500 square feet to its 24,000 square feet of office space at its Manhattan headquarters, and was hiring scores of new brokers and opening new offices in its steadily growing territory around New York City. The collapse of the Internet bubble had made real estate more attractive to investors. Low mortgage rates and a shortage of supply buoyed hopes of a rising residential market. By the spring of 2002, the price of a Manhattan coop had reached a short-lived peak of more than $1 million. The Corcoran Group sold $4.2 billion worth of property in 2002. The next year, founder Barbara Corcoran published a book, Use What You've Got (And Other Business Lessons I Learned from My Mom), which ascribed her success to her mother's practical wisdom.

Justice Chuka Obiozor of a Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday issued a bench warrant for the arrest of a former governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani, for failing to appear before the court.
The ex-governor was set for re-arraignment today but Obiozor said Nnamani's counsel did not present concrete explanation on his client's absence from court. The judge also ordered the arrest of Nnamani's aide and co-accused, Sunday Anyaogu.
Nnamani's lawyer had told the court the former governor had undergone a heart surgery in the United States but the prosecution said the photographs brought by the lawyer were taken in 2014.
Nnamani, who served as governor between 1999 and 2007, is being prosecuted on 10 counts by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for alleged economic crime, money-laundering and financial impropriety estimated at about N5.3 billion.
He was initially prosecuted along with his aide, Anyaogu. Both defendants were first arraigned in 2007 alongside their companies: Rainbownet (Nig) Ltd; Hillgate (Nig) Ltd; Cosmo FM; Capital City Automobile (Nig) Ltd; Renaissance University Teaching Hospital; and Mea Mater Elizabeth High School.
In 2015, all the companies pleaded guilty to the charges but the trial of Nnamani and Anyaogu continued to stall as a result of the former's frequent travels abroad to treat an ear ailment.
During Monday's sitting, the fourth judge to handle the matter made it clear to the defence lawyer that he would not tolerate any attempt to further delay the trial.
Obiozor said, "there is no evidence shown to the court as to why the defendants are absent, there is no justification for the the continued absence of the defendants.
"In the absence of any convincing evidence, it is hereby ordered that a bench warrant be issued against the defendants and summons to their sureties to show cause".
The presiding judge subsequently adjourned the matter till December 14 for the re-arraignment of the defendants.

#SimBlog: Modified Valsalva Manoeuvre (SVT)
A – Patent
B – RR 21, Sats 98%
D – Alert
E – Pyrexial
Clinical Findings
Narrow complex tachycardia on ECG: "SVT"
No adverse signs
Why We Simulated?
Many of you will have come across the REVERT Trial published in the Lancet last year, and I suspect many of you will have also adapted your practice because of it.
For those of you who haven't read the paper it was an RCT carried out in several EDs in England to compare a standard valsalva against a modified valsalva manoeuvre for cardioverting patients presenting with SVT. (The SGEM summarises the paper here.)
The modified manoeuvre is as follows:
"The patient performs the standardised strain in a semi-recumbent position but immediately at the end of the strain they are laid flat and their legs raised by a member of staff to 45° for 15 s. Patients are then returned to the semi-recumbent position for a further 45 s before re-assessment of cardiac rhythm, initially by 3-lead ECG."
Why is it an interesting paper? Put simply it recommends an effective modification to current practice that doesn't cost anything extra and doesn't carry any real extra risks to the patient. It also potentially reduces the need to give adenosine (which some patients find quite an unpleasant experience).
In essence it fulfils the definition of quality care by being STEEEP:
Safe: do no harm; avoiding injuries from care aimed at helping patients.
Timely: without undue delay both for those who receive and those who give care.
Effective: produces desired results; services based on scientific knowledge to all who could benefit, and refraining from providing services to those not likely to benefit; disease prevention and early detection.
Efficient: avoiding waste, including waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy; resourced appropriately and done competently.
Equitable: providing care that does not vary because of gender, ethnicity, disabilities etc. in the patient; or at population level because of geographic location, and socio-economic state.
Patient-centred: providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values; seamless; provided with respect and compassion.
The results of the paper itself show the modified valsalva returned 40% of patient to sinus rhythm compared to the standard valsalva working in 17% of patient. The number needed to be treated was only 4! So if you haven't put it into your practice it is really worth thinking about next time you see a patient with an SVT.

Learning Outcomes
If you attach the defibrillator during a chemical cardioversion consider also switching it on.
Adenosine should be given with a big flush, through a big line.
Positive Feedback
Good use of summaries to communicate with the team.
The were aware of and used the modified valsalva.
Team leader accepted their limitations and was willing to utilise the skills of others.
