The Village Kitchen

"Not only do you get to eat great food, you make a difference in the lives of women andchildren." - Silvia, Associate Director of the Good Shepherd CenterOn the outskirts of downtown Los Angles lies a sanctuary of sorts. It's a place where one can seek solace, shelter, and a coconut cupcake. The Village Kitchen looks like a cozy bakery cafe, scones and muffins lining cases and savory soups wafting about. But the magical women who work there make it more than a restaurant. They come from Good Shepherd Center, a serene homeless shelter with space for 93 women and 45 children per night. Working in The Village Kitchen is part of a culinary arts training program and will eventually earn otherwise homeless women a food management certificate, experience, and job opportunities.
You feel your karma kick in upon entering. Women with bright smiles offer foamy lattes or freshly baked tarts with raspberries spaced atop just so. Head Chef Ali mans the kitchen, but the women bring their flavor too, sharing unique skills or recipes from their childhoods. They serve a new blend of soup from scratch each day AND they bake their own bread (dipping optional). The baguettes are like crusted pillows, and knowing they were fluffed right there adds an indescribable sweetness. Ali bursts with pride as he shows me the Cobb salad, turkey sandwich, and a fat burger served with baked fries (baked means they're healthy, right? Right?). Go for lunch and stay for dessert. Scones, banana bread, cheesecake, and peanut butter cookies bigger than your hand are all made in-house. It's hard to decide what's betterthe red velvet or the place itself. Go make your lunch mean something!
Menu Highlights:
Cobb Salad, $8.00
1/2 Turkey Sandwich/Greek Salad combo, $8.00
Cheeseburger with baked fries
Breakfast sandwich, $4.25
Monday - Friday, 7 am - 4 pm

Chris Brown Says He Loves Two People in Vulnerable, Drunken Video
Want to get to know the real Chris Brown? Well, you can catch a glimpse in this two-minute, vulnerable but tipsy clip that Breezy shared where he admits to loving two women.
Brown and Rihanna fully reuniting as a couple seems more and more imminent after you hear what Breezy says in this video. The two women he loves are RiRi and his now-ex Karrueche Tran. Brown ended things with Tran yesterday (Oct. 4), but seems well on his way to reclaiming RiRi, as they were spotted on a "date" at a high profile concert.
In the 'Taxi Cab Confession' video, a tipsy Brown talks while in the backseat of a cab. While he speaks of his love, footage of both RiRi and Tran flashes on screen.
Brown admits, "We had fun at the club. I'm a little drunk so I'm gonna be honest. Y'all don't really get the real Chris Brown, so I'd like to just be honest, man. I'm stressed out… it ain't about the music – I love my fans."
Now that we've gotten that out of the way and are aware that his stress is personal, not professional, the R&B star spills his guts.
It's just, you know, when you share history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it's kinda difficult. It's like, is there such thing as loving two people? I don't know if that's possible, but for me, I just feel like that. Y'all are probably like what the f— is he talking about right now? But I'm being real. I don't wanna hurt either or. I'm just me – I'm not trying to be a player or a dog. My mama raised me differently… So it's like, I just care too much… Life of Chris Brown.
While we play the world's smallest violin in honor of Breezy's first world, famous dude problems, we've certainly seen quite a different side of the singer. He seems remorseful at hurting Tran, but also seems magnetically drawn to Rihanna.
And to answer his question, of course you can love two people at once. But this is the first time that he has admitted he feels the same way about RiRi that she feels about him.
There are scenes of the singer sitting solo, clearly emotionally burdened by his situation.
RiRi recently tweeted that what's going on is of no one else's concern.
Ain't nobody bidness….. But mine and my baby!

Right. So the firefighters won't get electrocuted by big UPS's IN a rack, only by smaller UPS's on the floor. Makes perfect sense. Sure. I'm going to try to figure out how to put an EPO in this room for less than a fortune, even though I'm pretty sure that it isn't strictly required. Even if it is just one that controls the UPS's -- so that the building power can be cut externally and one can bop off the UPS's on entering the room. The building power is tricky enough as it is -- they have a gas generator that kicks in transparently on loss of grid power (it's a medical clinic). That is not my thing, though. rgb -- Robert G.

Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith got himself disqualified from Sunday's 30-7 win over the Tennessee Titans after making contact with an official. It appears he'll avoid serious punishment for his actions.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday that Smith is expected to be fined, but not suspended, for the incident.
The incident occurred in the second quarter following an Antoine Winfield interception. Smith was seen shoving Tennessee wide receiver Nate Washington before back judge Steve Freeman stepped in to pull him away. As he was being tugged from the play, Smith pushed Freeman away. He was penalized 15 yards and ejected.
Smith apologized for his behavior after the game, an act that likely helped his cause. He did so again on Monday, according to 1500ESPN.com.
"It wasn't even a play so it was just stupid for me to be involved," said Smith, the Vikings' first-round pick in April's draft. "I just got kind of caught up in the heat of the moment and at the end of the day you can never touch the officials. They have a hard enough job as it is and to make it harder on them is just stupid and is something I don't ever want to do from this point on."
If Freeman went to the ground after the push, Harrison probably doesn't get off the hook here. The thin line between a huge story and a healthy fine.
UPDATE: The NFL will not suspend or fine Smith, according to Judd Zulgad of 1500 ESPN. Ray Anderson, the NFL's executive vice president of football operations, determined that Smith's ejection from the game was sufficient punishment, Zulgad reports.

China's remarkable economic rebound after the global economic crisis in 2008-2009 has been a source of envy and puzzlement for the rest of the world. Instead of recession, the Chinese economy has recorded double-digit growth, and is actually showing signs of overheating – a sharp contrast with the stagnation in most Western countries. How did the Chinese do it? Perhaps advocates of 'Chinese exceptionalism' are right after all: Beijing has found a secret formula of economic success that has eluded the West.
Part of the answer to this mystery was given in late June by the Chinese government. It turns out that Beijing has managed to keep its economy growing during the global slump by resorting to massive bank lending to local governments, which then went on an infrastructure spending binge that's certain to haunt the country for years to come. If we remember the causes of the economic crisis that has ravaged the United States and Western Europe, the most important one is something euphemistically termed 'credit boom' – excessive lending and borrowing that fuelled housing bubbles and unsustainable consumption. China seems to have been afflicted with the same disease, with only one major variation: much of the debt incurred in China has gone into the infrastructure sector, not consumption. So much for Chinese exceptionalism.
Based on the figure released by the National Audit Office (NAO) at the end of June, local governments have accumulated debts totalling 10.7 trillion renminbi (RMB) or $1.65 trillion – about 27 percent of China's GDP in 2010. Because the NAO's figure was based on a sampling of 6,500 local government-backed financial vehicles (out of more than 10,000 such vehicles nationwide), the actual magnitude of local government indebtedness is much greater. The People's Bank of China, the central bank, recently estimated that local government debt totalled 14 trillion RMB (most of which was owed to banks), almost 30 percent higher than the NAO figure.Enjoying this article?

Several interesting questions are raised by the revelation of local government debt in China. First and foremost, it has shown that public finance in China is in much worse shape than previously thought. On paper, China's debt to GDP ratio is under 20 percent, making Beijing a paragon of fiscal virtue compared with profligate Western governments. However, if we factor in various government obligations that are typically counted as public debt, the picture doesn't look pretty for China. Once local government debts, costs of re-capitalizing state-owned banks, bonds issued by state-owned banks, and railway bonds are included, China's total debt amounts to 70 to 80 percent of GDP, roughly the level of public debt in the United States and the United Kingdom. Since most of China's debt has been borrowed in the last decade, China is on an unsustainable trajectory at the current rate of debt accumulation, particularly when economic growth slows down, as it's expected to do in the coming decade.

Calstrs Makes it Official: It's Pulling Out of Firearm Investments
California State Teachers' Retirement System, better known as Calstrs, said in a statement it has decided to sell "certain firearms holdings."
Calstrs had said in the wake of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that it would review its investments in firearms. One investment was in a Cerberus Capital Management fund that owns the nation's biggest manufacturer of high-powered rifles, including the kind used in Newtown, Conn.
Wednesday Calstrs released the following statement:
"I think we've taken appropriate action, given the unspeakable and tragic loss of life that occurred in Connecticut last month-the latest in an ongoing line of similar incidents involving assault weapons and mass casualties," said Investment Committee Chair Harry Keiley. "This latest incident, which occurred at a school and involved fellow educators and the children we cherish, is a tipping point for CalSTRS and speaks to the correctness of our actions. This is not only the right thing to do but positions us to deal with the financial pressures we anticipate this sector of the industry will face."

President Barack Obama signed legislation in November 2013 aimed at increasing the availability of epinephrine in schools, saying the law would help people, such as his daughter, Malia, who suffers from a peanut allergy. The medicine can help prevent adverse reactions and death in children with severe food allergies. The law, which took two years to move through Congress, comes after two students, one in Illinois and one in Virginia, died after ingesting peanuts and suffered an anaphylactic reaction while at school. The law provides an incentive to states to boost the stockpile of epinephrine at schools. "This is something that will save children's lives," Mr. Obama said at a ceremony to sign the bill, adding that "some people may know that Malia actually has a peanut allergy." Mr. Obama said making sure so-called EpiPens are available in case of emergency in schools "is something that every parent can understand."
Rather than require schools to stockpile EpiPens, the School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Law provides a financial incentive. States that require schools maintain a supply of the medication and permit trained school personnel to administer it will get preference for receiving federal children's asthma-treatment grants. A similar preference has been in existence since 2004 for states that allow students to self-administer medication to treat asthma and anaphylaxis. Only four states currently require schools to stock epinephrine, including Nebraska, Virginia, Maryland and Nevada, according to the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) advocacy group. About 20 other states allow schools to stock the medication but don't explicitly require they do so. Advocates for the bill say the law will provide an incentive for states to go a step further and mandate schools to stock the medication.
"I think anytime the House, Senate and president all say this is something we should do, we should stock epinephrine in schools, I think this will reopen the debate among those states that have already passed, but haven't mandated it," said John Lehr, CEO of the Food Allergy Research & Education organization. Last year, a 7-year-old girl at Hopkins Road Elementary school in Chesterfield County, Va., died after eating a peanut on the playground. She did not have an EpiPen at school. In 2010, a 13-year old girl died after eating food that had been ordered in for a school event and contained peanut oil. The following year, Illinois passed a law allowing but not requiring schools to maintain a supply of epinephrine on site and to have school nurses to administer the medication to any student suffering a severe allergic reaction. A few months later, Illinois' U.S. senators, Richard Durbin, a Democrat, and Mark Kirk, a Republican, introduced the School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act to encourage states to go beyond simply allowing schools to stockpile the medication.
The bill languished for more than a year, despite bipartisan support and as an array of backers pushing for its passage, including doctors' and nurses' associations, advocacy groups and country music star Trace Adkins and his daughter, who has severe food allergies. The bill's fate was hung up on liability issues, as critics contended the legislation as written would set a dangerous precedents for so-called "Good Samaritan" laws. The legislation was tweaked to require state attorneys general to certify a state has reviewed any applicable civil liability protection laws and has concluded it provides protection "to such trained personnel" who administer the medication. After the signing ceremony, Mr. Obama watched Rob Nichols, one of FARE's board of trustees and the president of the Financial Services Forum, demonstrate a new high-tech epinephrine auto-injector, which talks people through administering the medication.
Tip of the Day
Buy produce that lasts! Does your produce keep going bad before you can eat it? Try frozen fruit instead; it provides the same nutritional value.

No. 24 UCLA (2-0) vs. Sacramento State (1-1)
Today, 8 p.m., Pauley Pavilion
TV/Radio: Pac-12 Networks/AM 570
Preview: UCLA will try to top 5,000 in attendance, battling Los Angeles traffic and a lackluster nonconference schedule. The Hornets will try to beat a major conference team for the first time since squeaking by Utah by three points last November. The two teams have met only once before, with UCLA winning in an 86-56 blowout on Dec. 23, 2005. Senior forward Travis Wear could make his season debut, having missed two games recovering from an appendectomy three weeks ago. He averaged 10.9 points and 5.2 rebounds last season, and scored in double figures in seven straight games. Sophomore center Tony Parker, who shed over 20 pounds this offseason, is coming off a career-high performance against Oakland. The former four-star recruit and McDonald's All-American had 21 points and 12 rebounds last Tuesday, more than doubling his previous rebounding mark. He made 10 out of his 12 field goal attempts, staying out of foul trouble through 34 minutes on the court.

Arkansas Post
Other Names: Fort Hindman
Location: Arkansas County
Campaign: Operations against Vicksburg (1862-1863)
Date(s): January 9-11, 1863
Principal Commanders: Rear Adm. David D. Porter and Maj. Gen. John A. McClernand [US]; Brig. Gen. Thomas J. Churchill [CS]
Forces Engaged: Army of the Mississippi [US]; Fort Hindman Garrison [CS]
Estimated Casualties: 6,547 total (US 1,047; CS 5,500)
Description: From Fort Hindman, at Arkansas Post, Confederates had been disrupting Union shipping on the Mississippi River. Maj. Gen. John McClernand, therefore, undertook a combined force movement on Arkansas Post to capture it. Union boats began landing troops near Arkansas Post in the evening of January 9, 1863. The troops started up river towards Fort Hindman. Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman's corps overran Rebel trenches, and the enemy retreated to the protection of the fort and adjacent rifle-pits. Rear Adm. David Porter, on the 10th, moved his fleet towards Fort Hindman and bombarded it withdrawing at dusk. Union artillery fired on the fort from artillery positions across the river on the 11th, and the infantry moved into position for an attack. Union ironclads commenced shelling the fort and Porter's fleet passed it to cutoff any retreat. As a result of this envelopment, and the attack by McClernand's troops, the Confederate command surrendered in the afternoon. Although Union losses were high and the victory did not contribute to the capture of Vicksburg, it did eliminate one more impediment to Union shipping on the Mississippi.
Result(s): Union victory

About the Workshops
-Workshop Overview-
Workshop Goals
Workshop Structure and Materials
About the Contributors
Workshop Overview
this workshop, teachers will explore science concepts in force and
motion and come away with a deeper understanding that will help
them engage students in their own explorations.
The study of force and motion really begins the first time a child
picks up something or notices something move. If children are using
high-quality instructional materials, they will have numerous opportunities
to drop, slide, roll, float, and balance various objects and observe
how the objects behave. They will also be encouraged to compare
the results of these school-based investigations to their real-life
Students come to the classroom with deep-seated intuitive views
about how the world works. Their K-12 science lessons should allow
them to explore their own notions about common, everyday phenomena,
discuss their observations with peers, and draw conclusions that
can be tested. Since force and motion encompass phenomena that relate
directly to the student's world, they provide a content area where
students can make predictions, practice data collection and graphing
techniques, and start to make scientific sense of their observations.
This also provides students with an opportunity to apply some of
their growing mathematical understanding.
content workshop consists of eight one-hour professional development
programs. Each program features footage from a complete science
lesson related to force and motion. These lessons, virtually unedited,
take place in real classrooms across the grade levels. As children
explore the relationships among motion, force, size, mass, and speed,
the camera captures the students ideas and how they change
and build during the activity and subsequent discussion.
As each classroom lesson unfolds, science and education experts
act as guides, highlighting and expanding on the key points that
emerge. Their commentary, coupled with graphics and video demonstrations,
reinforces the science concepts taught in the lessons, and supplements
the lessons with background information about gravity, friction,
air resistance, magnetism, and tension. As the students begin to
connect science concepts to real-world phenomena, teachers will
be asked to think about their own ideas on force and motion.
The lessons teachers
observe in the video and the activities they do in this Science
in Focus workshop will provide them with the opportunity to
test some of their own initial ideas about force and motion. The
goal is to move teachers toward a greater understanding of forces
as interactions, the concept of action at a distance, the various
ways to describe motion, and the effect of physical surroundings
on the motion of objects.

share some information about CTR
CTR is the ratio which tells that how many times your site link has been clicked for a particular add impression you are doing optimization.It is calculated by
CTR = (Clicks/Impressions) x 100
Gross CTR = (Gross Clicks / Gross Impressions) x 100
Unique CTR = (Unique Clicks / Unique Impressions) x 100
Basically CTR is stand for Click Through Rate. This is depend on how much Impression of your site / page (you can check it out in webmaster tool - differ search engine has different search tool)
Higher search engine better CTR, this is not so true for that we should optimized our title & meta description.
If we say that CTR is one of the signal than it's not false. one of the strongest element for benefical for ranking.
Thanks, 🙂
CTR(Click Through Rate) is the number of clicks that is divided by the number of times your ad is shown.
It is the ratio of total number of links on your ads with total impression (no. of times it is displayed) when someone conducts search on internet for the keywords you have targeted. It is one of the quality factor in improving your ad rank in sponsor listing.
Click through rate is no.of clicks / no. of times ur ad shown.
Clickthrough rate (CTR)
A ratio showing how often people who see your ad end up clicking it. CTR can be used to gauge how well your keywords and ads are performing.
CTR is the number of clicks that your ad receives divided by the number of times your ad is shown (called impressions).
Each of your ads and keywords have their own CTRs that you can see listed in your account.
A high CTR is a good indication that users find your ads helpful and relevant. CTR also contributes to your keyword's Quality Score which can affect your costs and ad position.
You can use CTR to gauge which ads and keywords are successful for you and which need to be improved. The more your keywords and ads relate to each other and to your business, the more likely a user is to click on your ad after searching on your keyword phrase.

Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen acknowledged the recent string of weak economic data and commented on regulation and fiscal policy during her testimony in front of the Senate Banking Committee Thursday.
Continue Reading Below
"A number of data releases have pointed to softer spending, and part of that softness may reflect adverse weather conditions. It's difficult to discern how much," she said.
The central bank head noted she and her Fed colleagues will continue to monitor the data and how it could potentially impact the Fed's monetary policy when it comes to tapering its asset-purchase program, QE3.
Yellen said despite the weaker-than-expected data over the last month, she believes the U.S. economy is continuing on its track toward recovery.
"We see accommodative monetary policy as remaining appropriate for quite some time. There's no conflict at all at the moment between the two goals the Congress has assigned to us of promoting maximum employment and price stability," she told lawmakers.
Weekly employment data out Thursday morning showed an unexpected rise in the number of Americans filing for first-time benefits, while the latest monthly picture was similarly disappointing, with only 113,000 jobs added for the month of January, far lower than what economists forecast.
On the topic, Yellen said the 6.5% unemployment-rate target the Fed has cited doesn't represent so-called "full employment" and that the central bank will likely begin boosting its benchmark interest rate well after the that level is reached.
"The unemployment rate is not a sufficient statistic to measure the health of the labor market. An additional 5%, an unusually high fraction of our labor force, is working part time for economic reasons ... and we have an unusually high fraction of Americans who are unemployed and have been for substantial amounts of times," she said.
The Fed chief reiterated asset purchases are not "on a preset course," and said a significant change in the economic outlook would cause the central bank to reconsider its taper timeline. Still, Yellen declined to "jump to conclusions" during Thursday's testimony.
Recently, the Fed has been paring down its bond purchases at a rate of $10 billion a month, with the central bank now targeting purchases of $65 billion a month.
In a nod to Congress, Yellen said she hopes the U.S. government and its squabbling over fiscal policy over the last two years would not continue to stand in the way of economic improvement.
"Fiscal policy really has been quite tight and has imposed a substantial drag on spending in the U.S. economy over the last several years," said Yellen.
"The drag is likely to lessen substantially during the current year, but nevertheless there remains some drag. Of course it is true that because there has been fiscal policy drag the burden on monetary policy has been larger."
To her point, the federal government has stepped out of the fiscal spotlight for the time being. Congress passed an omnibus $1.1 trillion budget for fiscal 2014 back in January, and avoided a major showdown on the nation's borrowing limit earlier this month when lawmakers voted to raise the debt ceiling, allowing the U.S. to continue borrowing through March 15, 2015.
The Fed chief also said the central bank is working on how to regulate large insurance companies. Such institutions, like American International Group (NYSE:AIG), are tightly linked to the health of the financial system, but are different from banks the Fed overseen for many years.
"We are looking very carefully to design an appropriate set of rules for companies with important involvement in insurance to recognize that there are very significant differences between the business models of insurance companies and the banks that we supervise and we are taking the time that is necessary to understand those differences and to attempt to craft a set of capital and liquidity requirements that will be appropriate to the business models of insurance companies," Yellen noted.
The freshly-minted Fed chief's appearance is the second portion of her semi-annual report to Congress. It was rescheduled after a major snowstorm slammed Washington D.C. two weeks ago.

Common Jeep Electrical Snafus - Stop, Stupid!Posted in How To: Electrical on January 24, 2014
Some of the things that we are most proud of here at Jp are all the things we've screwed up over the years. Sounds kinda weird, doesn't it? A wise man once said, "Learn from your mistakes." And, boy, have we. Unlike some of the other rags, we aren't afraid to share some (OK, pretty much all) of the dumb stuff we've done over the years with our readers. Some of it is stuff that as we are doing it we think: "Hmm, this might not be a good idea." And some of it we've done with the best of intentions, only to learn later on a far-flung trail somewhere exactly why it was a bad idea.
It doesn't matter if it is experimental fabrication, Speedos, or electrical stuff, we've all had those moments. The important thing is to remember them and learn from them. One of the least understood, thought about, and thus often most messed up parts of Jeep maintenance and modification is the electrical system. Whether you bought a Jeep where the wiring was already jacked up, or had a temporary fix that became permanent, or something that just couldn't have been foreseen, it doesn't matter. At some point in our Jeeping careers, we all have to deal with the dreaded smoke in the wires. Here are a few more ways to keep that smoke in the wires longer and get the Jeep further down the trail.

Sorry to hear about your tangle with the ants, I hope you recover quickly and feel better soon! Your trip looks fun and thanks for the pictures of the birds. They are so beautiful and nothing like I see in the USA. Your new stitching project is very cute, I can't wait to see more! Have fun and stay away from the stinging, biting insects!

Oh Val, so sorry to hear about your bites! THey must be driving you mad. I hope you have antihistimines on hand all the time. I know bull ants have a nasty sting that causes horrendous pain that keeps coming back every few minutes. LOve the pics, it looks so serene. I also love the little cottage applique/stitchery. Looking forward to seeing that completed. Angel hugs

Your pictures of the birds are great. They look so amazing as to almost seem artificial! Glad for you to have the get-away to an obviously beautiful place. How awful about your gardening experience though! Yes, indeed, you need to stitch more. What you're creating is adorable.

Me again, was just looking for a way to contact you privately but this message doesn't really matter if someone else reads it. Just wanted to say I purchased the fan fare table runner pattern from under the mulberry bush yesterday and received it today. Was very excited as it is a gift for a friend. The other thing I was happy to see was the design was by YOU!! The reason I purchased it initially was two-fold, firstly I loved the design from the very small picture on the website (hence I didn't read it properly and notice it was by yourself), then I saw that all profit will be donated. So thank you for being so generous. I hope my friend loves it. (I might have to get one for myself!).

Most club owners use a variety of communications tools to keep their members and employees informed. However, many of them still do not communicate well because they impart information in an inconsistent and untimely manner. Developing a communication plan for staff and members is essential to prevent problems.
You plan for members will vary slightly from your plan for staff. Implement the following suggestions when making your communication plan for members:
- Send a weekly electronic bulletin on the same day and at the same time each week. The bulletin should be short and to the point with bulleted headlines and brief descriptions for each topic. E-newsletters should include information about upcoming events and activities, member photos and interesting content about club programs. They also are an excellent tool for internal sales and marketing that promotes club products and services.
- The club website should have a public section for nonmembers and a password-protected section for members to access pertinent schedules, their member statement, reservations, etc.
- Social networking for clubs is still in its infancy, but many progressive clubs are retaining full- or part-time staff that focus on spreading the club's messages through the most popular networks, including Facebook, Twitter, etc.
- Electronic signs, posters and fliers are a good way to promote upcoming events.
- E-mail can reach individual members or smaller groups with specific and pertinent information.
- Letters from the general manager about important topics, such as capital improvement plans and explanations about dues increases, can have a tremendous impact.
- Word-of-mouth is still the best form of communication. Every day, club managers should tell their service teams what messages they want passed on to members. Staff have literally thousands of touch points each day with members, and each is an opportunity to promote something that will benefit the club.
- Annual calendars and a member appreciation party help you share upcoming special events with your most valued and connected members, who will then help you promote club activities throughout the year.
Lack of communication is probably the No. 1 reason employees feel demotivated. Remember these items when communicating with staff:
- During employee orientations, offer a full explanation of the club's vision, mission, values and objectives, a thorough property tour and introductions. These all help ensure your new employee shares the company's common goals.
- Weekly management meetings reinforce company culture, continue educational efforts and allow for sharing information about all aspects of club operations.
- Regular departmental meetings reinforce company culture and allow for sharing pertinent, team-specific information as well as passing along important news from other areas.
- Quarterly or semi-annual full staff meetings bring together all employees so the club manager or owner can share information about the state of the club and its long-term prospects.
- E-mail is an excellent tool for informational announcements but a terrible method of communication for sensitive or emotional issues.
- Payroll stuffers and employee bulletin boards are a good way to get important messages to those staff members who do not use company e-mail as part of their job.
- Word-of-mouth communication is often how employees receive their company information. Managers must accept this reality and embrace it as an effective way to spread accurate information instead of uninformed rumors.
- There is no substitute for personal, informal visits between managers and staff to gain deeper insight into what people think.
Club managers may have no more important responsibility than to effectively communicate with members and staff. Take some time to carefully consider the way communication functions at your club and address weaknesses as quickly as possible.

Kidneys are mainly responsible for the filter of waste from the water and blood. It also helps in maintaining the balance between sodium, phosphorous and protein level in the blood. If the kidneys stop working, it ultimately results in the failure of the kidneys which require a quick Kidney failure treatment in Ayurveda. There are mainly two types of kidney failures:
-Acute kidney failure is a sudden condition that results in the complete shutdown of the kidneys.
-Chronic kidney failure doesn't result in complete failure, but the condition can keep on worsening without treatment.
-Polycystic kidney disease is an inherited kidney disease which can result in the formation of cysts in the kidneys
-Nephrotic syndrome is a disorder which results in the excretion of high levels of protein in the urine
Symptoms of kidney failure
Kidney failure is a slowly progressive disease which may not show the visible signs in the early stages. Some common symptoms a kidney patient may experience in this disease are:
-Nausea and vomiting
-Swollen hands, feet and ankles
-Pain in abdomen
-Joint pain
-Dry and itchy skin
-A loss of appetite
-Rise in the blood pressure due to high toxic waste in the body
-Foamy and dark colored urine
-Abnormal weight loss and weight gain
Possible causes of kidney failure
There most common reasons that can trigger kidney failure in people are diabetes, high blood pressure or hypertension, family history of the disease, kidney stones, polycystic conditions and prostate disease. The people suffering from the above conditions have most likely chances of experiencing kidney failure. Apart from this, a blood loss due to physical injury to kidneys can also cause the kidneys to fail.
Diagnosis and common treatment
If the above symptoms prevail for long one should go for an immediate diagnosis to confirm the situation. A blood-urine test, dipstick test and ultrasound can help in identifying the stage of the kidney failure.
Most people opt for allopathic treatment for immediate relief. The most common are kidney dialysis and transplant. Both of the treatment doesn't cure kidney failure condition but only increase the life of kidneys.
A planned diet for kidney failure
It is important for the patients suffering from impaired kidneys to change their diet. A right diet can help in controlling the disease and strengthening the kidneys. There are certain points that one should keep in mind while forming a perfect diet chart, such as:
-It is important to limit the salt and sodium intake in the meals
-It is also necessary to limit the potassium and phosphorus
-High-quality protein food should be included in the diet like fish, eggs and skimmed milk
-Fluids like water and juices should be included in the diet as it helps in easy discharge of the waste
-Fresh vegetables rich in fiber like cabbage, red bell pepper, garlic, onions, etc should be included in the diet
-Alcohol, aerated drinks and coffee should be cut out from the diet
-Fresh fruits rich in Vitamin C and a good source of anti-oxidant such as cranberries, strawberries, blueberries should be included in the diet
How can Ayurveda help in kidney failure?
Ayurveda is an ancient science of treating physical ailments with the help of natural herbs and prehistoric techniques. Ayurvedic medicines for kidney failure are made up of unrefined herbs such as Punarnava, Gokshur, Shirish, Shigeru and Milk Thistle. All these herbs are 100% natural and free from any side effects. A healthy diet along with Ayurvedic medicines can help in the faster recovery of the kidneys.

Kale Ginger Daiquiri Recipe
When shaken, kale juice makes an especially frothy daiquiri. Fresh ginger spices things up nicely.
Note: Your juice yield will vary depending on which juicer you use. We found that it takes about 3/4 pound of kale to produce 4 ounces of juice.
