Stress Relief and Relaxation
Stress is a fact of life. Although some stress is normal and even needed, too much of it can affect your quality of life and your health. There are simple things you can do to help relieve stress.
Tips to relieve stress
When you feel stressed, you can:
- Take slow, deep breaths.
- Soak in a warm bath.
- Listen to soothing music.
- Take a walk or do some other activity.
- Meditate or pray.
- Take a yoga class.
- Have a massage or back rub.
- Have a warm drink that doesn't have alcohol or caffeine.
You also can make some changes in your everyday habits to reduce and relieve stress.
- Get plenty of sleep.
- Stay connected to your family, friends, and other caring people in your life.
- Get regular exercise. It can help you clear your mind and work off feelings of frustration and anxiety.
- Don't drink or eat anything that has caffeine in it. Caffeine can make you feel "wound up" and more stressed.
- Don't smoke or use tobacco. Nicotine can make you feel more anxious.
- Don't drink alcohol. It can cause sleep problems and depression.
Muscle relaxation to relieve stress
Your body may respond to stress by tensing up, which can cause pain. If you learn to relax your muscles, you can reduce muscle tension and anxiety. Progressive muscle relaxation is an exercise that can help you do this.
In progressive muscle relaxation, you tense and then relax related groups of muscles. You can use a relaxation tape or CD to help you go through all the muscle groups. Or you can learn the muscle groups and work through them from memory.
Find a quiet place where you won't be bothered. Be sure you can lie on your back in comfort.
For each muscle group:
- Breathe in and tense the muscle group for 4 to 10 seconds. Tense hard, but not to the point of cramping.
- Then breathe out while you suddenly and completely relax the muscle group. Don't relax it gradually.
- Rest for 10 to 20 seconds.
Here are the muscle groups:
Hands and arms
- Hands: Make a tight fist.
- Wrists and forearms: Tense them and bend your hands back at the wrist.
- Biceps and upper arms: Make your hands into fists, bend your arms at the elbows, and tense your biceps.
- Shoulders: Shrug them.
Head and neck
- Forehead: Wrinkle it into a deep frown.
- Around the eyes and bridge of the nose: Close your eyes as tightly as possible. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before beginning the exercise.
- Cheeks and jaws: Smile as widely as you can.
- Around the mouth: Press your lips together tightly.
- Back of the neck: Press your head back against the floor or chair.
- Front of the neck: Touch your chin to your chest.
Upper body
- Chest: Take a deep breath and hold it, then breathe out.
- Back: Arch your back up and away from the floor or chair.
- Stomach: Suck it into a tight knot.
Lower body
- Hips and rear end (buttocks): Press the buttocks together tightly.
- Thighs: Clench them hard.
- Lower legs: Push your heels out and flex your toes up, as if trying to bring the toes up to touch your shins. Then point your toes away and curl them downward.
You may feel sleepy after doing this exercise. To "wake up" your body, count backwards from 5 to 1. Then move your fingers, toes, hands, and feet. Finally, stretch and move your entire body.
Be sure you are alert before you drive or do other activities.
Roll breathing to relieve stress
Roll breathing helps you use your lungs better and gets you in touch with the rhythm of your breathing. You can practice it in any position, but it's best to lie on your back, with your knees bent. Practice roll breathing daily for several weeks until you can do it almost anywhere.
When you are roll breathing, always breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth. As you breathe out, make a whooshing sound.
- Place your left hand on your belly and your right hand on your chest. Notice how your hands move as you breathe in and out.
- Breathe in to fill your lower lungs. Your belly will push your left hand up as you do this. Your right hand won't move. Then breathe out. Your left hand will fall as your belly falls. Do this 8 to 10 times.
- Next, breathe in as you did before, but don't stop after your left hand pushes up. Continue to breathe in. You will feel your upper chest expand and push your right hand up. Your left hand will fall a little as your belly falls.
- Breathe out slowly through your mouth. As you breathe out, feel the tension leaving your body. Both your hands will fall.
- Do this for 3 to 5 minutes. Notice how your belly and chest move like waves, rising and falling in a steady motion.
- Notice how you feel after you breathe this way.
Caution: Some people get dizzy the first few times they try roll breathing. If you begin to breathe very fast or become lightheaded, slow your breathing. Get up slowly.

The key to successful branding is to provide a memorable, useful item to your customers that they will use for years. Imprinted tote bags do just that, acting as a durable, walking billboard for college students, frequent shoppers, and busy parents alike. Custom printed tote bags are perfect promotional giveaways for colleges and universities and act as fantastic tools for carrying multiple promotional items at trade shows and conventions.
Why Choose Custom Printed Tote Bags as Advertising Gifts?
Tote bags are one of today's hottest accessories, although they've been around in one form or another for centuries. "Tote" means "to carry," and the name came to be applied to these multifunctional, purse-like hand bags in the early 1900's.
Most tote bags are slightly larger than the average woman's purse. They're handy for carrying items that don't fit inside a purse, and can be used anytime, anywhere.
Promotional imprinted totes have seen a jump in popularity in recent years as alternatives to custom plastic shopping bags and promotional paper tote bags, especially for everyday shopping. They can be used over and over again, saving the need for disposal of other types of shopping bags.
In fact, many Custom Printed Tote Bags can also be recycled at the end of their lives. This, plus the fact that many styles can be washed (either by hand or by machine) makes them an excellent choice for advertisers.
Art Promos carries a wide variety of styles, colors and designs of logo Imprinted Tote Bags. All feature the same basic structure, consisting of a roomy bag with handles for carrying in the hands. Longer-handled tote bags can also be slung over the shoulder. Either way, they're comfortable and easy to "tote" around.
Some bags feature open tops while others have optional Velcro, snap or zip closures. Bags with closures protect contents and keep them from spilling and also offers a measure of privacy.
Custom Totes are extremely versatile. They can be used for so many purposes: grocery shopping, a trip to the library, an afternoon in the park or at the shopping mall or pack them with summer toys for a day at the beach. You'll probably find a hundred different uses for them!
What makes imprinted tote bags so effective as marketing tools is that they are built around a single message ???????? your brand logo. And because they are so useful, they will likely be used time and again. Even if the person who received the bag doesn????????t follow-up, someone who sees the bag might.

Bela Lugosi Daylily
Hemerocallis 'Bela Lugosi'
Height: 3 feet
Spacing: 28 inches
Hardiness Zone: 2b
Velvety dark-purple trumpets with yellow-green throat; provides a bold contrast to other plants; sturdy, strong, easy to care for, great grassy texture and form; good for the beginner gardener and the pro
Ornamental Features
Bela Lugosi Daylily features bold deep purple trumpet-shaped flowers with yellow throats at the ends of the stems from early to mid summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its grassy leaves remain green in color throughout the season.
Landscape Attributes
Bela Lugosi Daylily is an herbaceous perennial with a shapely form and gracefully arching foliage. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Bela Lugosi Daylily is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Mass Planting
- General Garden Use
- Groundcover
Planting & Growing
Bela Lugosi Daylily will grow to be about 30 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 28 inches apart. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 7 years. As an herbaceous perennial, this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter, and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!
This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under typical garden conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.

Traditional or informal
Funeral services can be as formal or informal as you would like – and it's entirely up to you as to how religious the service is depending on your beliefs and the wishes of your loved one.
W.N. Allcock Funeral Services can organise the funeral and a burial at your chosen cemetery, graveyard or burial ground and purchase a grave on your behalf where necessary. Most burial grounds have a chapel or room where the service can take place, but you may decide you want the service to take place in a particular church or other venue that has meaning for you.
If you already have a family burial plot we may be able to arrange for it to be reopened before the burial. If you would like burial plots which are next to each other, you'll need to talk to the local authority about the possibility of purchasing or reserving multiple plots and again, we can help you with this.
What happens at a burial?
On the day of the funeral, depending on your preference, mourners may assemble outside the burial ground awaiting the arrival of the cortege with hearse, or may take a seat in the chapel before the coffin is brought in. Alternatively, the coffin can be taken to the venue prior to the mourners arriving.
A funeral service usually lasts around 20 to 60 minutes and can include a number of hymns or non-religious songs that mean something to you, eulogies and readings.
Following the funeral service (should you choose to have one) the committal service usually takes place at the graveside with the minister, clergy or other non-religious officiant conducting the service. This can be tailored to your requests with readings, songs and prayers.
W.N. Allcock Funeral Services can assist you in every step of the funeral and burial arrangements so please don't hesitate to ask us about any aspects or queries you may have.

In our drop-down menus for adding to cart, we show the gauge of the item you are ordering, then the length/diameter, then the ball size if it has any:
14g - 3/4 inch (5mm balls) 6g - 1/2 inch (8mm balls)
Jewelry is measured through a gauge system (conversion chart below). The higher the gauge number the smaller the wire is. For reference, a standard "earring" is usually 20 gauge. Jewelry gauges can vary between manufacturers. There is no universal regulation on companies to make a standard size in body jewelry. This is because some jewelry is made outside of the USA and measured in millimeters. And in the USA jewelry is measured in inches.

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

Retirement Seen Through Your Eyes
How do you picture your future? Some see retirement as a time to start a new career. Others see it as a time to travel. Still others plan to spend more time with family and friends. With that in mind, here are some things to consider.
What do you absolutely need to accomplish? If you could only get four or five things done in retirement, what would they be? Answering this question might lead you to compile a "short list" of life goals, and while they may have nothing to do with money, the financial decisions you make may be integral to pursuing them.
What would revitalize you? Some people retire with no particular goals at all. After weeks or months of respite, ambition may return. They start to think about what pursuits or adventures they could embark on to make these years special. Others have known for decades what dreams they will follow ... and yet, when the time to follow them arrives, those dreams may unfold differently than anticipated and may even be supplanted by new ones.
In retirement, time is really your most valuable asset. With more free time and opportunity for reflection, you might find your old dreams giving way to new ones.
Who should you share your time with? Here is another profound choice you get to make in retirement. The quick answer to this question for many retirees would be "family." Today, we have nuclear families, blended families, extended families; some people think of their friends or their employees as family.
How much do you anticipate spending? We can't control all retirement expenses, but we can manage some of them. The thought of downsizing your home may have crossed your mind. One benefit of downsizing is that it can potentially lead to no mortgage or a more manageable mortgage payment.
Could you leave a legacy? Many of us would like to give our kids or grandkids a good start in life, but leaving an inheritance can be trickier than many realize. Tax laws are constantly changing, and the strategies that worked years ago may have more limited benefits today.

How are you preparing for retirement? This is the most important question of all. If you feel you need to prepare more for the future or reexamine your existing strategy in light of recent changes in your life, conferring with a financial professional experienced in retirement approaches may offer some guidance.

If you're a fan of old-fashioned fireside comfort, firewood may be an important part of your home heating experience.
However, firewood selection isn't as "cut and dried" as it may seem, and care should be taken when selecting and handling the wood you burn in your home. The quality and safety of your fireside experience depends not only on the kind of wood you use, but how you use it, its source and how it's stored.
Not All Firewood is Created Equal
Firewood is not a one-size-fits-all proposition: different species of wood have diverse characteristics that affect their suitability as fuel.
In general, for sustained heating, hardwoods are a better choice. Hardwoods include species like oak, maple and birch — trees that have leaves and lengthy growing cycles. Their wood is dense and strong and burns with greater heat and less smoke than softwoods.
Softwoods include evergreen species such as pine, spruce and fir. The wood from these trees is more resinous and burns much more quickly than hardwood. While softwoods are typically considered to be less suitable than hardwoods for home heating, they are usually easier to ignite and can be a good way to start a fire.
How Do I Get Good Firewood?
If you're lucky enough to have a lot of spare trees on your property, assembling a cord or two of firewood for the winter may not be much of a challenge — provided, of course, that you're handy with a chainsaw and don't mind working up a sweat. For many people, though, buying firewood is the only option.
When purchasing firewood, it's important to deal with a reputable supplier who can provide information about the wood — particularly its moisture content. Wood that has been thoroughly dried is referred to as "seasoned" firewood.
The drier the firewood, the easier and more efficient it is to burn. Contrary to misconception, the buildup of creosote — a contributing factor to chimney damage — results primarily from low-temperature fires rather than the type of wood burned, so it's important to burn only seasoned firewood whenever possible.
Kiln-dried wood is often considered a great choice since it's dried in a controlled environment to ensure moisture is evenly removed. If you're buying firewood from a third party, ask how it was seasoned and for how long. If you're buying undried wood (or cutting it yourself), make sure to dry it for at least six months to a year before use.
Storing Firewood the Right Way
Once you've collected your firewood, you've got to store it properly. If it's unseasoned wood, it must be allowed to dry, and if it's seasoned wood, you've got to make sure it stays dry.
Three factors are important to keep in mind when storing firewood:
- Keep it dry. As noted, dry wood burns much more efficiently, so keep your firewood out of the rain and snow by covering it with a waterproof tarp.
- Make sure it's ventilated. Take care when weatherproofing your firewood so that it remains adequately ventilated. Cover only the top of the wood so that air can still pass through the spaces between the logs and carry away moisture.
- Keep it off the ground. Wood left on the ground will absorb moisture and begin to rot. It also becomes an inviting haven for creatures looking for a safe place to build nests.
If you're serious about firewood, you may want to consider a shed or ramada where you can conveniently store your wood on a rack, pallet or solid slab to keep it dry and critter-free.
Fireplace and Woodstove Safety
Now that you've got your stash of well-stored, seasoned firewood, it's time to get things blazing. But, before you strike that first match, make sure you've understood and observed the following safety tips:
- Inspect regularly. A clean and unobstructed chimney is crucial to safely heating your home with wood. Have your chimney and wood stove inspected and cleaned annually by a professional.
- Burn clean. Wood treated with chemicals of any kind can release harmful fumes when burned. Never burn treated or painted wood.
- Don't overload. Excessive heat can damage stoves, hearths and chimneys. Be sure not to overload your fireplace or wood stove.
- Use barriers. If you're burning in an open hearth, use a fireplace screen or glass door to prevent sparks from flying out of the fireplace. If you're using a wood stove, keep the door closed while burning.
- Extinguish thoroughly. Before leaving the house or going to bed, completely extinguish your fire. Remember: if it's still smoking, it's still burning.
Safe handling of firewood not only helps prevent nasty mishaps and protects your home from damage, it also ensures burning efficiency and even household air quality.
Comfort and Security
As you look forward to enjoying the colder months by the mellow warmth of a cozy fire, always keep in mind that fire is inherently dangerous. With a bit of preparation, though, you can prop your feet up by the hearth knowing you've taken the necessary steps to ensure your peace of mind.

The long-running hit show Dancing with the Stars has had its share of memorable moments, including a wedding proposal, a wardrobe malfunction, and lots of sharp dance moves. But just recently, one DWTS contestant had the bad luck of taking an elbow to the mouth on two separate occasions—one of which resulted in some serious dental damage.
Nationally syndicated radio personality Bobby Bones received the accidental blows while practicing with his partner, professional dancer Sharna Burgess. "I got hit really hard," he said. "There was blood and a tooth. [My partner] was doing what she was supposed to do, and my face was not doing what it was supposed to do."
Accidents like this can happen at any time—especially when people take part in activities where there's a risk of dental trauma. Fortunately, dentists have many ways to treat oral injuries and restore damaged teeth. How do we do it?
It all depends on how much of the tooth is missing, whether the damage extends to the soft tissue in the tooth's pulp, and whether the tooth's roots are intact. If the roots are broken or seriously damaged, the tooth may need to be extracted (removed). It can then generally be replaced with a dental bridge or a state-of-the-art dental implant.
If the roots are healthy but the pulp is exposed, the tooth may become infected—a painful and potentially serious condition. A root canal is needed. In this procedure, the infected pulp tissue is removed and the "canals" (hollow spaces deep inside the tooth) are disinfected and sealed up. The tooth is then restored: A crown (cap) is generally used to replace the visible part above the gum line. A timely root canal procedure can often save a tooth that would otherwise be lost.
For moderate cracks and chips, dental veneers may be an option. Veneers are wafer-thin shells made of translucent material that go over the front surfaces of teeth. Custom-made from a model of your smile, veneers are securely cemented on to give you a restoration that looks natural and lasts for a long time.
It's often possible to fix minor chips with dental bonding—and this type of restoration can frequently be done in just one office visit. In this procedure, layers of tooth-colored resin are applied to fill in the parts of the tooth that are missing, and then hardened by a special light. While it may not be as long-lasting as some other restoration methods, bonding is a relatively simple and inexpensive technique that can produce good results.
If you would like more information about emergency dental treatment or schedule a consultation, please call your dentist in Zionsville, Indiana at Holland Dental. You can learn more by reading the Dear Doctor articles "The Field-Side Guide to Dental Injuries" and "Knocked Out Tooth."

I am a mystery buff. I read detective novels — heck, I write them! I relish whodunnit movies and miniseries. I follow along with stories of true crimes past and present. And I watch a lot of crime dramas on TV.
I like to think I'm pretty much a full-fledged detective myself … of the armchair variety.
I might never have analyzed a peculiar residue left at a crime scene or immediately identified the cause of death of badly decomposed remains or tricked a suspect into confessing on tape. But I like to think I could — if I ever stood up and went outdoors. Yep, I'm an indoor gumshoe, and proud of it! I can totally solve anything … that's on TV.
Which is why I was so happy to receive an advance copy of the first episode of the second season of Perception, a crime drama on TNT. TNT is known as the Home of Crime Drama, and indeed, many of my favorite detective-in-training shows are right there on that channel!
I had never seen Perception, though, so I was eager to give it a viewing.
Hey, girl. Would you like a side of dreaminess with your detecting? |
Dr. Daniel Pierce is the main character played by the swooningly handsome Eric McCormack. (Hey, it never hurts to enjoy looking at your detectives!) He's an interesting and unique character in the world of detective fiction, because he has the expected genius when it comes to observing, reading people, and analyzing clues, but with a twist — he has schizophrenia, and the hallucinations and voices in his head can cloud his work even as they illuminate what his subconscious is mulling over. His training in neuropsychiatry helps him see clues in minute facial expressions, while his hallucinations actually help him focus in on the solution to the crime.
I got to see only the one episode, but it's intrigued me enough to want to see more. In the second season, everyone's doubt about a murder Dr. Pierce (thinks he) witnessed has landed him in deeper trouble, and the race is on to clear his reputation, reassure him and his supporters about his abilities, and, of course, solve the crime.
Rachael Leigh Cook is Special Agent Kate Moretti of the FBI who has recruited Dr. Pierce for his finely honed skills in neuropsychiatry, and Arjay Smith is his teaching assistant who helps him distinguish reality from fantasy, a role I found particularly interesting.
I can tell from the premiere episode of season two that this drama is the type to delve deeply into the interpersonal relationships between characters even as the episodes solve individual crimes. I'm encouraged that they're dealing in particular with the subject of mental illness in what seems so far to be a sensitive and enlightening way: Dr. Pierce is a respected professor and consultant who also has a mental illness, and a powerful one at that. I hope and trust that the series continually probes the stigma and reality surrounding mental illness.
In addition to all that, I appreciated the high-quality production, screenwriting, and acting I've come to associate with TNT and can't wait to see more!
The second season of Perception airs on Tuesdays at 10/9C this summer starting June 25, so fluff up your armchair cushions and settle in for some living-room detective work! Visit TNT for more information about Perception and the other summer shows in the lineup.

1. Service Commitment
Firebase will use commercially reasonable efforts to make Firebase available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at least 99.95%, in each case during any monthly billing cycle (the "Service Commitment").
2. Definitions
The following capitalized terms shall be given the meaning set forth below:
"Monthly Uptime Percentage" is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of continuous 5 minute periods of Downtime during the month. Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any Firebase SLA Exclusion (defined below).
"Downtime" means more than a five percent Error Rate, or complete lack of external connectivity to the service. Downtime is measured based on server side Error Rate.
"Error Rate" means the number of Valid Requests that result in a response with HTTP Status 500 and Code "Internal Error" divided by the total number of Valid Requests during that period. Repeated identical requests do not count towards the Error Rate unless they conform to the Back-off Requirements.
"Back-off Requirements" means, when an error occurs, the Application is responsible for waiting for a period of time before issuing another request. This means that after the first error, there is a minimum back-off interval of 1 second and for each consecutive error, the back-off interval increases exponentially up to 32 seconds.
A "Service Credit" is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit back to an eligible account.
3. Service Commitments and Service Credits
Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges paid by you (excluding one-time payments such as upfront payments) for a Firebase service for the monthly billing cycle in which the Downtime occurred in accordance with the schedule below.
Monthly Uptime Percentage | Service Credit Percentage |
Less than 99.95% but equal to or greater than 99.0% | 10% |
Less than 99.0% | 30% |
We will apply any Service Credits only against future Firebase payments otherwise due from you. At our discretion, we may issue the Service Credit to the credit card you used to pay for the billing cycle in which the Downtime occurred. Service Credits will not entitle you to any refund or other payment from Firebase. A Service Credit will be applicable and issued only if the credit amount for the applicable monthly billing cycle is greater than one dollar ($1 USD). Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account. Unless otherwise provided in the Terms of Service, your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by us to provide Firebase Services is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.
4. Credit Request and Payment Procedures
To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a claim by submitting a support request through https://firebase.google.com/support/contact/account-services/. To be eligible, the credit request must be received by us by the end of the second billing cycle after which the incident occurred and must include:
i. the issue category set to "Account Service";
ii. the issue component set to "Billing";
iii. the words "SLA Credit Request" as the issue summary;
iv. the dates and times of each Downtime incident that you are claiming;
v. the affected Firebase service urls; and
vi. your request logs that document the errors and corroborate your claimed outage (any confidential or sensitive information in these logs should be removed or replaced with asterisks).
If the Monthly Uptimte Percentage of such request is confirmed by us and is less than the Service Commitment, then we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the month in which your request is confirmed by us. Your failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.
5. Firebase SLA Exclusions
The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of Firebase Services, or any other Firebase or Firebase Services performance issues: (i) caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including, without limitation, any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of Firebase Services; (ii) that result from any actions or inactions of you or any third party; (iii) that result from your equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within our direct control); or (iv) arising from our suspension and termination of your right to use Firebase Services in connection with any breach by you of the Terms of Service or otherwise in accordance with the Terms of Service (collectively, the "Firebase SLA Exclusions"). If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in our Monthly Uptime Percentage calculation, then we may issue a Service Credit considering such factors at our discretion.

Can Workers' Comp Cover Injuries Developed Over Many Years?
Not all work-related injuries are caused by sudden accidents. Occupational diseases and cumulative trauma injuries can develop over time.
Repetitive Stress Injuries
If an employee is covered by workers' compensation insurance, he or she should be entitled to receive compensation for repetitive stress injuries caused by overuse across a long period of time. Back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome are examples of this type of injury. Workers with documented, sustained repetitive motion injuries are entitled to the same workers' comp benefits as other injured workers.
Occupational Illnesses
Workers can also receive compensation for diseases and illnesses that develop gradually because of working conditions. Examples include lung disease, heart conditions, and other illnesses caused by long-term exposure to chemicals or other toxic substances. Another example of this type of occupational illness is stress-related digestive problems.
How Can a Workers' Compensation Claim Be Proven for a Long-Term Illness or Injury?
To be covered for a long-term occupational illness or injury, an employee must prove that the condition resulted directly from performance of work-related duties. This may be more difficult to accomplish when an injury or illness develops over a long period of time.
Some illnesses caused by toxic exposure may not become symptomatic until months or years after initial exposure have passed. When exposure results in multiple health issues, such as asthma and cancer, it may be difficult to trace the cause of the illness back to exposure to toxic substances at work.
It may take years for repetitive stress injuries to become apparent. If an employee developed back problems after years of repetitive lifting at work, it may be difficult to prove that the injury was caused by duties at work as opposed to outside activities.
Evidence to Support a Workers' Comp Claim for a Long-Term Illness or Injury
A worker can take any of several different approaches to prove that a long-term injury or illness is related to work:
- Find out if other employees who worked under the same conditions in the same location developed a similar illness or injury. It can be a strong indicator that it is a work-related health condition if a number of people in the same industry and location develop the same or similar problems.
- Monitor recalls and changes in the law. If a substance an employee worked with for years on the job has recently become illegal because it is known to cause health problems, this is evidence that work-related exposure caused the injuries.
- Use a medical expert. A qualified physician may be able to help an employee document a long-term injury or illness. For a worker who has developed a repetitive stress injury, for example, a doctor may be able to make a determination as to whether the injury was caused by repetitive motions required in the performance of job duties. Any medical evidence an employee can provide to support a claim will go a long way toward proving it.
Most employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance. Our knowledgeable agents can review your business insurance package to help ensure that you have the coverage you need at the best available rate.

More About Mass suicide at Jonestown
On November 18, 1978, Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones leads hundreds of his followers in a mass murder-suicide at their agricultural commune in a remote part of the South American nation of Guyana. Many of Jones' followers willingly ingested a poison-laced punch while others were forced to do so at gunpoint. The final death toll at Jonestown that day was 909; a third of those who perished were children.
Jim Jones was a charismatic churchman who established the Peoples Temple, a Christian sect, in Indianapolis in the 1950s. He preached against racism, and his integrated congregation attracted many African Americans. In 1965, he moved the group to Northern California, settling in Ukiah and after 1971 in San Francisco. In the 1970s, his church was accused by the media of financial fraud, physical abuse of its members and mistreatment of children. In response to the mounting criticism, the increasingly paranoid Jones invited his congregation to move with him to Guyana, where he promised they would build a socialist utopia. Three years earlier, a small group of his followers had traveled to the tiny nation to set up what would become Jonestown on a tract of jungle.
Jonestown did not turn out to be the paradise their leader had promised. Temple members worked long days in the fields and were subjected to harsh punishments if they questioned Jones' authority. Their passports were confiscated, their letters home censored and members were encouraged to inform on one another and forced to attend lengthy, late-night meetings. Jones, by then in declining mental health and addicted to drugs, was convinced the U.S. government and others were out to destroy him. He required Temple members to participate in mock suicide drills in the middle of the night.
In 1978, a group of former Temple members and concerned relatives of current members convinced U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan, a Democrat of California, to travel to Jonestown and investigate the settlement. On November 17, 1978, Ryan arrived in Jonestown with a group of journalists and other observers. At first the visit went well, but the next day, as Ryan's delegation was about to leave, several Jonestown residents approached the group and asked them for passage out of Guyana. Jones became distressed at the defection of his followers, and one of Jones' lieutenants attacked Ryan with a knife. The congressman escaped from the incident unharmed, but Jones then ordered Ryan and his companions ambushed and killed at the airstrip as they attempted to leave. The congressman and four others were murdered as they boarded their charter planes.
Back in Jonestown, Jones commanded everyone to gather in the main pavilion and commit what he termed a "revolutionary act." The youngest members of the Peoples Temple were the first to die, as parents and nurses used syringes to drop a potent mix of cyanide, sedatives and powdered fruit juice into children's throats. Adults then lined up to drink the poison-laced concoction while armed guards surrounded the pavilion.
When Guyanese officials arrived at the Jonestown compound the next day, they found it carpeted with hundreds of bodies. Many people had perished with their arms around each other. A few residents managed to escape into the jungle as the suicides took place, while at least several dozen more Peoples Temple members, including several of Jones' sons, survived because they were in another part of Guyana at the time.

An international court has ordered Japan to revoke whaling permits in the Antarctic and stop granting new ones.
The country's government had argued that hunting whales was part of a research program, but the International Court of Justice ruled Monday that Japan hasn't generated enough scientific research to justify killing hundreds of whales. Critics said the hunts were instead a way to justify commercial hunting.
Under the whaling program, Japan had set annual "lethal sample size" limits of 50 per species for fin whales and humpback whales, in addition to approximately 850 Antarctic minke whales. But the court said the research program had generated only two peer-reviewed papers that together refer to nine whales.
"In light of the fact that [Japan's program] has been going on since 2005 and has involved the killing of about 3,600 minke whales, the scientific output to date appears limited," the court wrote in its judgment.
By a 12-4 vote, the court based in The Hague decided Japan must "revoke any extant authorization, permit or license granted in relation to" its whaling program, "and refrain from granting any further permits" related to it.
The court's ruling stems from a complaint filed by Australia in May 2010, when it accused Japan of being in breach of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling by operating a system that produced whale meat for sale in Japan, rather than creating scientific data.
Japan contested the allegations, saying the meat was sold in order to fund research. International conventions allow whale meat to be sold commercially when it's a by-product of research efforts.
Japanese officials have said the whaling program, called JARPA II, is for research on whales' age, sexual maturity and pregnancy rates, according to court documents. Some elements of the program were slated to go on for six to 12 years.
But the court noted that an expert who was called on to testify — Nick Gales, chief scientist of the Australian Antarctic Program — said Japan's program "operates in complete isolation" from other Japanese and international research efforts into Antarctica's wildlife.
As Australia's ABC notes, "Japan signed a 1986 moratorium on whaling, but has continued to hunt up to 850 minke whales in the icy waters of the Southern Ocean each year."
The news agency adds, "The ICJ's ruling is final and there will be no appeal."
Japanese officials have said they will abide by the ruling. But the country could also simply end its participation in agreements that curb whale hunting, ABC says. And as The New York Times notes, "The court left open the possibility for future whale hunting if Japan redesigned its program."
