Health Status: Health & socioeconomic disadvantage of area
Self-rating of health A person's perception of their own general health status is considered a useful measure of their current physical and mental health, and a predictor of mortality in people aged 60 and over.4 In 1995, a greater proportion of both males and females in the areas of greatest disadvantage rated their health as poor or fair (rather than good, very good or excellent) than those from other areas. There was a clear gradient of more negative assessment of health with greater disadvantage of area. Among all people, aged 15 years and over, 17% rated their health as fair or poor, with this percentage ranging from 12% of those in the least disadvantaged areas to 22% of those in the most disadvantaged areas. PROPORTION(a) WHO HAD SELECTED CONDITIONS(b) BY QUINTILE OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE OF AREA, 1995
(b) The fifteen most common conditions, excluding conditions classed as minor.1 (c) 1st quintile - most disadvantaged; 5th quintile - least disadvantaged. (d) Includes minor conditions. Source: Unpublished data, National Health Survey, 1995. Illness Despite the clear gradient in negative perception of health, there was no clear gradient in the total rate of illness by socio-economic disadvantage of area, after adjustment for age differences. The great majority of the population (88%) had at least one condition in the two weeks prior to interview, and proportions for each quintile ranged between 87% and 90%. The high proportion who had at least one condition results partly from the prevalence of some extremely common minor conditions, both chronic and acute, such as eyesight problems correctable by glasses, headache and the common cold. Out of the fifteen most common non-minor illnesses recorded in the survey, five were more common in the most disadvantaged areas. These were: arthritis, asthma, bronchitis/emphysema, ulcer and diabetes. There were two conditions which showed the reverse pattern: hayfever and dental problems were more common in the least disadvantaged areas. (The least disadvantaged quintile also made more use of dental services. The diagnosis of dental problems is more likely when people visit the dentist regularly.) For these seven conditions, the rates for males and females followed a generally similar pattern by quintile of socio-economic disadvantage of area. Those conditions which showed no clear pattern by socio-economic status of area included some serious conditions such as heart disease. However, an examination of mortality data for adults aged 25-64 years found that death rates from ischaemic heart disease were higher in more disadvantaged areas (after adjusting for age differences between quintiles).1 Other conditions or causes with higher death rates in the most disadvantaged areas included: Bronchitis/emphysema, pneumonia/influenza, lung cancer, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease (mostly strokes), suicide and traffic accidents. Both the total death rate and the rate of avoidable death in the most disadvantaged areas were substantially higher than in the least disadvantaged areas. There are a number of possible reasons why some illness rates recorded in the National Health Survey may not show gradients similar to death rates compiled from death certificates. It may be that there are important differences in the severity of particular illnesses, or in the co-occurrence of illnesses, which are not captured by the data on illness rates, but contribute to higher death rates in more disadvantaged areas. Some deaths, such as deaths through injury, or some heart attacks, are not necessarily preceded by illness. Moreover, it is possible that the likelihood of a condition being diagnosed, and hence reported to interviewers, may vary according to socio-economic disadvantage. Finally, some serious conditions occur in relatively small numbers in the population, and for these conditions it is more difficult to calculate a reliable rate from a sample survey. PROPORTION(a) WITH SELECTED RISK FACTORS BY QUINTILE OF RELATIVE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE OF AREA, 1995(b)
(b) For smoker status and alcohol consumption, data relate to the population aged 18 years and over. For weight and exercise, data relate to the population aged 15 years and over. Source: Unpublished data, National Health Survey, 1995. Risk factors A healthy lifestyle, comprising good nutrition, regular exercise, and not smoking or drinking alcohol at a high risk level, is promoted by health experts in the interest of reducing the incidence of some major causes of illness, disability and death in the population. Smoking has been associated with several cancers and chronic lung disease. Excessive intake of alcohol has been associated with liver disease, high blood pressure, cancers of the digestive system, and injuries from accidents and violence. Lack of exercise and being overweight have been associated with mature onset diabetes. In addition, all four of these risk factors have been associated with coronary heart disease and stroke.5 In 1995, the prevalence of these potentially modifiable risk factors varied according to socio-economic disadvantage of area. In 1995, both males and females (aged 18 years and over) in more disadvantaged areas were more likely to smoke. The lower proportions who smoked in less disadvantaged areas partly reflected the higher proportions who had never smoked in these areas. 48% of males and 62% of females in the least disadvantaged areas had never smoked, compared to 33% of males and 51% of females in the most disadvantaged areas. Further, of those who had ever smoked, a larger proportion in the least disadvantaged areas were ex-smokers (65% of males and 61% of females) compared to those in the most disadvantaged areas (47% of males and 45% of females). A small proportion of the population aged 18 years and over (4%) drank alcohol at a medium or high risk level (based on information they gave about alcohol consumption in the week prior to interview). For males, the proportion was highest among those in the most disadvantaged areas (7%). For females, the highest proportions were recorded in the most and the least disadvantaged quintiles (4%). A larger proportion of females in the areas of greatest disadvantage were overweight or obese than in the least disadvantaged areas (34% compared to 27%). However, this pattern was not observed for males. A larger proportion of both males and females in the areas of greatest disadvantage did no exercise, compared to those in the areas of least disadvantage. PROPORTION OF CHILDREN AGED 3 MONTHS TO 6 YEARS FULLY IMMUNISED(a), BY QUINTILE OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE OF AREA, APRIL 1995
(b) Vaccines for these diseases are usually given together. Source: Unpublished data, Children's Immunisation Survey, Australia, April 1995. Preventative health care In general, people from the more disadvantaged areas were less likely to have taken preventative health actions such as immunising children against contagious diseases, or having certain cancer screening tests. The Child Immunisation Survey, 1995, found that the proportion of children fully immunised against the seven diseases listed on the National Health and Medical Research Council immunisation schedule was lowest in the areas of greatest disadvantage. The highest rates of immunisation were recorded for measles (92%) and mumps (90%) - for these diseases the difference in the immunisation rate by socio-economic disadvantage of area was relatively small. The lowest immunisation rate was recorded for the disease Haemophilus Influenzae type b (Hib) (50%), which at the time of survey had only recently been included in the immunisation schedule. The proportion immunised against Hib was 40% in the areas of the greatest socio-economic disadvantage and 59% in the areas of the least socio-economic disadvantage. The difference between the immunisation rate for the lowest and highest quintiles was also relatively large for whooping cough and diphtheria/tetanus. Women from the more disadvantaged areas were less likely to have had certain recommended cancer screening tests than others. (Women who reported having had these tests would have included some who had them in response to symptoms or family history rather than as a general screening test.) In 1995, 51% of women aged 50-69 had had a mammogram (to detect breast cancer) within the last two years. The rate was highest among women from the least disadvantaged areas - 56% of the 4th quintile and 58% of the fifth quintile - while the rate for the other quintiles ranged between 44% and 48%. Of women aged from 20 to 69 years, 66% had had a pap smear (to detect cancer and precancerous conditions of the cervix) within the last two years. The rate was somewhat lower in the most disadvantaged areas (63% of the 1st and 2nd quintiles) than in other areas (68% to 69% of the other quintiles). Those in the most disadvantaged areas were also less likely to check their skin regularly for cancers, although the difference between quintiles was relatively small. There were 54% of males and 62% of females in the most disadvantaged areas who said that they regularly checked their skin for cancers, compared to 59% of males and 67% of females in the least disadvantaged areas.
Health insurance Taking out private health insurance is one way of planning for health expenses. Depending on a person's insurance cover, this may include planning for some services not covered by Medicare (the public health scheme), such as dental services, physiotherapy services or the cost of eye-glasses. Those with hospital cover may be able to have some hospital-based services, such as surgery, performed in a more timely fashion, through recourse to services in private hospitals. People in the areas of greatest disadvantage were least likely to have private health insurance. Of those in the most disadvantaged areas, 24% had private health insurance compared to 61% in the least disadvantaged areas. The three middle quintiles were more closely grouped: the proportion with private health insurance ranged from 40% to 44%. Apart from Medicare, there are some other government health schemes which make it easier to access some health services. Most of these apply income tests to ensure that assistance is restricted to those less able to afford medical expenses. Data from the health survey confirmed that those from the most disadvantaged areas were most likely to be covered by a government health care card or a veteran's concession card. 53% of those in the most disadvantaged areas were covered by such a card compared to 22% of those in the least disadvantaged areas.
Primary health care People from the areas of greater socio-economic disadvantage were more likely than others to have visited a doctor in the two weeks preceding interview. They were also more likely to have used outpatient/casualty services in the two weeks prior to interview than those from less disadvantaged areas. This pattern of greater use of certain medical services confirms that of other studies and is consistent with people from more disadvantaged areas having poorer health.1 In contrast, a greater proportion of those in the least disadvantaged areas had visited a dentist. As dental services are not covered by public health arrangements to the same extent as are the use of doctors or hospital services, this is consistent with those in less disadvantaged areas being more likely to hold private medical insurance and to have higher incomes.

THERE HAVE always been two Mary Robinsons. There's the public persona: the outspoken campaigner with the cool demeanour and an occasionally bone-crushing handshake.
Then there's the private Robinson. Before this week, we had only glimpsed this person: in interviews when she talked of her love of Mayo, or in acquaintances' allusions to a softer side, such as the characterisation by her friend, the poet Eavan Boland, of her as a "dreamer".
An extract published at the weekend from her new memoir reveals that during her first year as the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, a chasm opened up between the two personas. In public, she remained forthright and fearless. Privately, she was floundering.
Robinson reveals that she missed the company of her husband when she travelled. She lost her appetite, had trouble sleeping, and began missing family mealtimes. She started taking sleeping pills. It came to a head when her brother, Ollie, warned her that she was "straying into nervous-breakdown territory and needed to pull [herself] together".
It's tempting to welcome this insight into the former President's private turmoil as a strike against the mental-health taboo. It emerged in Suicide Awareness Week and coincided with the publication of a survey by St Patrick's University Hospital, which reported that one fifth of people believe those suffering from mental-health problems are "of below average intelligence".
"When somebody with that international respect talks about mental-health difficulties, it . . . gives people permission to say 'yes, I have also suffered from mental-health problems'," the chief executive of St Patrick's, Paul Gilligan, said about Robinson on Morning Ireland.
He's right. If you're suffering from stress at work, it's a relief to hear that someone such as Mary Robinson has been there and taken the sleeping pills.
The trouble with the term "mental health issue" isn't just its faintly Victorian resonance: it's that – outside the medical profession – the words are often applied to a wide range of conditions. At one end of the spectrum, there are temporary responses to stressful situations, like lack of sleep or mild anxiety; at the other end, there are serious illnesses, and personality and mood disorders.
Perhaps because "mental health" has become such a loaded term, almost one third of the 300 people surveyed by St Patrick's University Hospital said they would shun a friendship with someone who has a "mental-health issue".
Possibly, some of those respondents themselves hover somewhere on the mental-health spectrum. I'm one of those lurking in the grey areas, though I have never thought of myself that way. If you asked me if I had ever suffered from a mental-health problem, I would instinctively say no. But under other people's definitions, I have. For example, I have had panic attacks.
I remember the first one clearly. I was eight and at a cousin's house, where we were playing one of those sensory-deprivation games children love – I can't remember much except that it involved a stool and a blindfold. The aim was to disorient you, but in my case, the effect was much more profound.
I felt a frightening sensation wash over me, like falling asleep in a public place and waking up with a start. For the rest of the afternoon, that feeling of having "stepped out" of my own consciousness lingered.
Though it would take me years to recognise the term, that was my first panic attack. The rest came in similar, unpredictable waves. In McDonald's, aged 11, staring at a strawberry milkshake and wondering how I got there. In art class at 15, gazing out the window at the autumn leaves, and feeling that sickening rush of panic.
Eventually, I told my parents I thought I was going mad; they suggested that panic attacks were a more likely explanation.
Their support helped, as did having a name for it. Over time, I learned to isolate the triggers and developed techniques for talking myself down. But in the end, what helped most was accepting that occasional panic attacks are simply part of who I am.
If we want to normalise so-called mental health issues, and tackle the shame and secrecy surrounding them, we need to start by demystifying them.
I'm not suggesting a blanket ban on the term "mental health issues": there are very serious conditions that fall under this heading, and rightly so.
But no one should be defined by a mental health issue, whether it's a temporary problem, or one with the potential to have a serious impact on their life.
Helpfully, Robinson herself uses measured language in her memoir. She describes feeling "exhausted" and "depressed" but doesn't attempt to medicalise her experience.
Sometimes, what are popularly labelled "mental health issues" are simply by-products of being alive: sane responses, as the Scottish psychiatrist RD Laing might or might not have said, to an insane world.
Don't give up the
day job
MICHELLE OBAMA is the "mom-in-chief". Ann Romney is the proud stay-at-home mom and cheerleader for a love "so deep only a mother can fathom it". Sarah Palin was a "mama grizzly". Spot the trend emerging here? It begs the question: why are bright, powerful and articulate women such as Michelle Obama and Ann Romney so keen to identify themselves first and foremost as mothers? Men don't seem to suffer from a similar compulsion to out themselves as dads.
Is it because these women know that, if we can imagine them at home, cutting the crusts off their kids' sandwiches and arguing over how many carrots constitutes a full portion, it somehow neutralises their power and makes them more palatable to the voting public? That might explain why, in her speech at last week's Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama managed to tell her whole life story without mentioning that she'd had her own career.
It would also explain why the Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has been described by an opposition senator as unfit for office because she is "deliberately barren" – as though her choice not to have children is somehow an affront on a par with, say, stealing handbags from old ladies.
As a woman who also happens to be a mother, as opposed to a mother for whom everything else is secondary, I wish we could agree to stop this mythologising of motherhood. It's not doing any of us any favours.
Ireland's limbo generation
A REPORT this week warned first-time buyers that they face a stark choice: have a house, or a baby. But don't try to do both at the same time.
After this grim message to consumers from Irish Mortgage Brokers ("Hold off having kids if you want a mortgage . . . Go for the house first"), the Irish Banking Federation denied that its members were discriminating against people with children. And I hope they're not. But the warning does raise the spectre of a generation for whom major life decisions have to be put on hold, or bypassed altogether, because of the economic crisis.
The New York Times has dubbed the generation just coming of age in the US the "Limbo Generation" – and the way the banks are making Ireland's twentysomethings bend over backwards to get a loan, that may not be a bad term for our lot either.

November 6, 2017
By Dr. Glenn Mollette
Our hearts go out to the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The First Baptist Church of this town and the entire community was ambushed in what resulted as the worst mass shooting in Texas history. Twenty-six people are dead and many others are currently fighting for their lives in intensive care. This is heart crushing for this Texas community and all of America as we must conclude no place is safe in America anymore.
My hometown church in Inez, Kentucky kept the backdoor of the church unlocked during most of my high school years. The church was a place where anyone could enter and pray, and seek refuge from the problems of the world.
A little Catholic church around the corner from where I once lived in Louisa, Kentucky kept the front door unlocked the entire time I lived there. My sons and I went in there a couple of times to just be quiet, think and pray.
While growing up as a kid my family attended different churches and there was never a thought of anything being unsafe about our worship.
Times have changed. Sutherland Springs, Texas again reminds us that evil is everywhere and no place is perfectly safe. Worshippers in this quiet Texas town gathered to sing, pray and hear a good sermon Sunday. They never dreamed their lives would end in church at the hands of sick and evil gunman. We don't know his motive for sure but it seems to me based on various reports that Devin Patrick Kelley was there to kill his in-laws.
Kelley's past was filled with troubles that included domestic abuse and a dishonorable discharge from the military. Unfortunately Kelley needed mental help that might have saved 26 lives and carnage that this Texas community will never overcome.
Too bad a good deacon in the foyer or vestibule area of the church did not shoot Patrick Kelley dead. I know my good moderate Christian friends frown on me for this line of thinking. However, maybe several lives could have been saved if the church had a game plan for reacting to terrorism. This has been a hard concept for my religious friends to embrace. Many have ignored the times of this world and simply sloughed it off. Some have said, "God will take care of us." Others want to brush off today's crisis with, "Something like that would never happen here."
Wake up reader.
Bad stuff happens everywhere. This is our world. Walkers on a bike path in New York City are not safe. Concertgoers in Las Vegas are not safe. People shopping in Colorado are not safe. Moviegoers and schoolchildren are not safe. Quaint café wine drinkers on sidewalks in peaceful neighborhoods in Paris, France are not safe. Busy people trying to earn a living in prestigious skyscrapers are not safe.
We are all vulnerable. If we do not take a position of defense we are more vulnerable. People sitting in churches, concerts, movies and many other places are in danger of being attacked by surprise. It's very difficult to survive an ambush. This is why there must be a defense plan in place for all churches, civic groups, businesses, factory work places, offices and families.
When I was child I remember when my mother started locking the front door. We had not always locked the front door but my mother had heard about people walking our road late at night and decided it was time to do so. We also had shotguns.
Today, of course, people with common sense lock their doors.
America has changed. We still have a great country. I love America. America mostly has good and decent people. Sadly, there are Devin Patrick Kelleys scattered throughout our country. There may be one in your state or even your community. You have to be ready to confront him or them.
By the way, Kelley was denied a gun permit. He still managed to obtain guns. Evil people will find ways to rent trucks, obtain guns, knives or make bombs. Please think about this and live, and sadly now, worship defensively. Even church is not safe anymore.

Tumbling is a characterised by the complex, swift and rhythmical succession of acrobatic bounding from hands to feet, feet to hands or even feet directly back onto feet. A tumbling pass may be over in a matter of seconds and is performed on a tumbling track that is 25 meters in length.
In tumbling, a gymnast performs a tumbling pass which sees the gymnast gain speed and power by running along a track and performing a series of somersaults and twists. World-class tumblers perform no less than two double somersaults in one run, the best of them three, with twisting elements in addition.
A typical tumbling competition will include the gymnast completing three tumbling passes. The first is called a Straight Pass (composed of somersaults), the second is called the Twisting Pass (twists) with the third and Final Pass (composed of both somersaults and twists.
Tumbling is the perfect sport for those looking for a fast-paced and daring challenge. Join a gymnastics club today.

"Chapel in the Meadow" | Nature Photography Print
Please select all options.
Fine Art Photography by John Scanlan. Limited edition prints are available on fine art photo paper, gallery wrapped canvas or aluminum.
Dolomites, Italy. "I've always loved the Dolomites because of their massiveness. Their jagged peaks do a wonderful job at reminding us just how high we have to reach to touch the sky. Aside from their grandeur, I also love them because they are home to chapels such as this. Something so small with something so big can give us the perspective we need when it comes to our faith, our lives, our world. So, as simple as it may be, its importance remains because without that chapel; it would be just another meadow. Without the mountains there wouldn't even be a meadow. But combine them all, both big and small, and you get the full wonderful picture; a chapel in the meadow."

In every image, we offer a tribute to the uniqueness of the places we have visited, reflecting an admiration for the beauty, history or symbolism in each location.

Free Art Consultation
Looking for some guidance choosing art or have specific questions? We are just a phone call away!
I purchased a couple pieces of landscape art from MK Envision and was impressed with the selection, the staff, and their customer service. Highly recommend.
They were so kind in helping us get our newly painted walls covered with amazing artwork! They are extremely professional, and always go above and beyond to do precision work. Our large windows posed a serious glare issue, but they handled it with style and grace and made our office one of the nicest places any of our vendors and clients had seen (the compliments are still rolling in)!
I had been searching for almost two years for wall art to hang above my sofa, and one day, I googled modern coastal wall art and a couple of clicks in, found MK Envision Galleries! I had been waiting to find the perfect piece, and I did. I saw "Shore Break At Sunrise" and it immediately spoke to me, so I knew almost instantly that I would be buying it. I was certain it would be as beautiful in person as it looked online (and it is) but had a couple of questions before committing to the purchase. Response time was quick, communication was informative, fun and professional...Start to finish, just an awesomely great experience!

Okunoshima is a small island located in the Inland Sea of Japan in Hiroshima Prefecture. The Island often called Usagi Jima or "Rabbit Island" is famous for its rabbit population that has taken over the island and become a tourist attraction with many people coming to feed the animals and enjoy the island's tourist facilities which include a resort, six hole golf course and camping grounds. During World War II the island was used as a poison gas facility. From 1929 to 1945, the Japanese Army produced five types of poison gas on Okunoshima Island. The island was so secret that local residents were told to keep away and it was removed from area maps. Today ruins of the old forts and chemical factories can be found all across the island.

Only first-time accounts are eligible for a refund. For example, if you've had an account with us before, canceled and signed up again, or if you have opened a second account with us, you will not be eligible for a refund. Violations of this Agreement will waive your rights under the refund policy.
Non-refundable Products and Services.
There are no refunds on domain names, dedicated servers, administrative fees, license fees, and install fees for custom software. Please note that domain refunds will only be considered if the domain was ordered in conjunction with a hosting package and will be issued at HostRadar's sole discretion. Any refunds issued for domain names will be reduced by the market value of the gTLD. Purchases of ccTLDs are non-refundable.
Cancellation Process.
You may terminate or cancel the Services by giving HostRadar written notice via the cancellation form provided. In such event: (i) you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation and (ii) HostRadar may, in our sole discretion, refund all pre-paid fees for basic hosting services for the full months remaining after the effectiveness of such cancellation (i.e. no partial month fees shall be refunded) less any setup fees, applicable taxes and any discount applied for prepayment, provided that you are not in breach of this Agreement.
Once we receive your cancellation form and have confirmed all necessary information with you via email, we will inform you in writing (typically email) that your account has been canceled. Your cancellation confirmation will contain a ticket/tracking number in the subject line for your reference and for verification purposes. You should immediately receive an automatic email with a tracking number stating that "Your request has been received." HostRadar will confirm your request and process your cancellation shortly thereafter. If you do not hear back from us, or do not receive the automatic confirmation email within a few minutes after submitting your cancellation form, please contact us immediately. We require all cancellations to be done through the online form in order to (a) confirm your identity, (b) confirm in writing that you are prepared for all of your files and emails to be removed, and (c) document the request. This process aims to reduce the likelihood of mistakes, fraudulent/malicious requests, and to ensure that you are aware that your files, emails, and account may be removed immediately and permanently after a cancellation request is processed.
Cancellations for shared accounts will be effective on the account's renewal date.
Domain renewals are billed and renewed thirty (30) days before the renewal date. It is your responsibility to notify HostRadar's Billing department via a support ticket created from https://www.HostRadar.net/client to cancel any domain registration at least thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date. No refunds will be given once a domain is renewed. All domain registrations and renewals are final.

Exchange rate fluctuations for international payments are constant and unavoidable. All refunds are processed in U.S. dollars and will reflect the exchange rate in effect on the date of the refund. All refunds are subject to this fluctuation and HostRadar is not responsible for any change in exchange rates between the time of payment and the time of refund.
HostRadar may terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, without notice in the event that: (i) you fail to pay any fees due; (ii) you violate this Agreement; (iii) your conduct may harm HostRadar or others or cause HostRadar or others to incur liability, as determined by HostRadar in our sole discretion; or (iv) as otherwise specified in this Agreement. In such event, HostRadar shall not refund to you any fees paid in advance of such termination, and you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such termination.

Bandwidth Usage.
Shared servers are not limited in their bandwidth allowance.
Uptime Guarantee.
If your shared server has a physical downtime that falls short of the 99.9% uptime guarantee, you may receive one (1) month of credit on your account. This uptime guarantee does not apply to planned maintenance. Approval of any credit is at the sole discretion of HostRadar and may be dependent upon the justification provided. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor's network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please visit https://www.HostRadar.net/client to create a support ticket to our Billing department with justification. Uptime guarantees only apply to shared and reseller solutions.
Price Change
HostRadar reserves the right to change prices, the monthly payment amount, or any other charges at any time. We will provide you with at least thirty (30) days' notice before charging you with any price change. It is your sole responsibility to periodically review billing information provided by HostRadar through the user billing tool or through other methods of communication, including notices sent or posted by HostRadar.
Discounts and coupon codes are reserved for first-time accounts or first-time customers only and may not be used towards the purchase of a domain registration unless otherwise specified. If you have previously signed up using a particular domain, you may not sign up again for that domain using another coupon at a later date. Any account found in violation of these policies will be reviewed by our Sales department and the appropriate charges will be added to the account. Coupon abuse will not be tolerated and may result in the suspension or termination of your account. All coupons and discounts are only valid towards the initial purchase and do not affect the renewal or recurring price.
Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL HostRadar ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, OR ANY USER CONTENT, USER WEBSITES OR OTHER MATERIALS ACCESSED OR DOWNLOADED THROUGH THE SERVICES, EVEN IF HostRadar IS AWARE OR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, HostRadar'S LIABILITY TO YOU, OR ANY PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU, FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO HostRadar FOR THE SERVICES IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE INITIAL ACTION GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. THIS IS AN AGGREGATE LIMIT. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM HEREUNDER WILL NOT INCREASE THIS LIMIT.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless HostRadar, our affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each an "Indemnified Party" and, collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, suits, actions, demands, proceedings (whether legal or administrative), and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees) threatened, asserted, or filed by a third party against any of the Indemnified Parties arising out of or relating to (i) your use of the Services, (ii) any breach or violation by you of this Agreement; or (iii) any acts or omissions by you. The terms of this section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
By using the Services, you hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in connection with any dispute relating to, concerning or arising out of this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator chosen by HostRadar and will be held at the AAA location chosen by HostRadar in Missouri. Payment of all filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this paragraph. In the event you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, HostRadar will pay as much of your filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. The arbitration before the AAA shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state arbitration law, governs all arbitration under this paragraph. All decisions rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final.

Catit Flower Fountain LED
- Description
Combining the unique design cats love with some new features never seen before, the Catit Flower Fountain just got an upgrade. The Catit Flower Fountain LED's compact 3 L (100 fl oz) water reservoir was designed to take up little floor space.
The new features include an LED light, which makes the fountain light up at night, and a handy water level indicator so that your cat's water will never run low. The unique petal top feature pours water into the six pockets, allowing your cat to drink even when the fountain is turned off.
The Catit Flower Fountain LED allows up to 3 different water flow settings to appeal to picky drinkers! Cat owners can switch between gently flowing water, faucet-like streams of water, or streams of water with a bubbling top.
The fountain provides clean, cool water at all times by pushing only filtered, running water to the surface. It is easy to disassemble and clean and has an ergonomic design which helps prevent whisker stress and feline acne.
It includes a triple action filter, which helps prevent urinary tract diseases. Additional replacement filters are available separately in a pack of 2 (43745) or a pack of 5 (43746).

SpringTMS, the first transcranial magnetic stimulation device for migraine that will be available to patients, has received FDA approval. Details are still sparse, but I've written up what I can find in SpringTMS Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Device for Migraine Receives FDA Approval on Migraine.com. The highlights:
- Approval was based on a study of people with episodic migraine with aura. Participants had to have a visual, sensory or motor aura preceding at least 30% of their attacks and have between one and eight attacks a month. This may not be the final target population, though, depending on who is included in the pilot study and what the findings are.
- Before becoming available to the general public, several headache centers in the U.S. will conduct a pilot study to determine the optimal way to use the device. These clinics have yet to be made public. I'm looking into how to become part of the study and will let you know what I find.
- The cost is unknown. In England, it cost £160 per month (about $270 USD), as of January 2014.
- It will probably eventually be covered by insurance, but those details are unknown.
- It will be prescription-only.
- SpringTMS is a smaller version of Cerena, which received FDA approval in December 2013. Cerena will not be available to patients.
Here's what I learned about the pilot study after I saw my headache specialist, who is organizing the study, in January: Update on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Device Availability. It looks like it could be on track for general availability in January 2015.

It was the year 1846, and women admitted to the maternity clinic of Vienna General Hospital were inexplicably dying during childbirth. Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, a new addition to the maternity clinic, was disturbed by the high mortality rate of patients and was determined to find the cause. After a number of experiments and observations, Dr. Semmelweis changed the course of healthcare with one simple discovery: Washing hands saved lives.
"Most of those dying had been treated by student physicians who worked on cadavers during an anatomy class before beginning their rounds in the maternity ward." explained Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of CDC's Hospital Infections Program in a published article by the CDC. "Most of those dying had been treated by student physicians who worked on cadavers during an anatomy class before beginning their rounds in the maternity ward."
She explained that because the students didn't wash their hands between touching the dead and the living, pathogenic bacteria from the cadavers were transmitted to the mothers by the students' hands.
Though Dr. Semmelweis' findings were conclusive and remain one of the most important contributions to public health, most of his colleagues were resistant to changing their habits. Even now, you may come across a physician who has to be reminded to wash his or her hands before treating a new patient.
In an article published by usanews.com, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reported approximately 75,000 people in the United States die from hospital-acquired infections each year. Despite the healthcare industry being fully aware of the importance of cleanliness, many of today's hospitals struggle with outbreaks of two common bacteria, Clostridium difficile and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In fact, according to a recent Consumer Reports survey, only 6 percent of hospitals scored well against these two bacteria.
What is the number one preventative way to control the spread of these bacteria? You guessed it. Wash your hands. The report also referred to the cause of bacteria spread being attributed to the overuse of antibiotics and inadequate disinfection practices.
"We encourage both staff and patients to regularly wash their hands." said Mark Walker, director of therapy for Orem Rehab and Skilled Nursing. "We stress to our staff to wash hands between treating patients and keep our equipment clean. When it comes to washing hands, more often is better."
So if you are looking for a way to better combat the flu season or other diseases that lurk in the chilly corners of the germ-riddled winter months, these three magic words will be your best defense: Wash your hands.

In the famous fable, Henny Penny, aka Chicken Little, cries "the sky is falling!" Another famous fowl, Wild Turkey Bourbon, says that's all there is to this so-called 'whiskey shortage,' at least for them.
Today, Wild Turkey released a statement from Andrew Floor, the senior marketing director, dark spirits at Campari America. He explains how both Wild Turkey and Russell's Reserve are weathering the storm.
While demand for quality American whiskey is at an all-time high, Wild Turkey is not affected by the 'whiskey shortage' that has been widely publicized by other distillers in the industry. In fact, Wild Turkey is bucking the 'shortage' trend and is set to meet the dramatic growing demand of its products, not only domestically but overseas as well.
For many years, the Wild Turkey bourbon brand has implemented a sophisticated long-term forecasting process that guides production. More importantly, the Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, Wild Turkey Distillery has two of the ultimate forecasters in father/son distilling duo Jimmy and Eddie Russell. With 93 years of combined experience, these whiskey prognosticators know how to stack the deck in Wild Turkey's favor to ensure enough aged whiskey is available for the public.
As a reminder, Wild Turkey's parent company, Gruppo Campari, has invested more than $100 million in the brand since its purchase in 2009, including doubling the plant's production capabilities, constructing a new packaging facility and building multiple barrel warehouses.
We are confident consumers' enjoyment of Wild Turkey and Russell's Reserve won't be interrupted any time soon.
