I, like many other clergy, did a semester of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). It is a requirement for ordination. A few summers ago I completed mine at the University of Virginia. There, like in many hospitals, is a small chapel. I spent a lot of time in that chapel. Praying for certain patients that I had met; sitting in the silence if only for a few seconds; praying with loved ones who were struggling with what was happening.
I was assigned a cardiovascular unit, many of whose patients were critical. At one point over the summer the hospital was so busy that there some patients sent to the unit to die. I sat with loved ones who had to make tough decisions. I listened to patients question God's plan for their lives. I held the tiny little hands of newborns as I prayed for with their families before that newborn went into surgery.
In the midst of a busy hospital, the chapel was a place of serenity.
In last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy (11.11), the chapel at Grey-Sloan Memorial is the main character. Amelia is the first character who goes to the chapel. She has battled with drug addictions. Her friends April and Jackson had received unwanted dignasos for the unborn baby. Amelia, knowing that there is nothing that she can do, goes to the chapel, says a prayer and lights a candle.
When others in the hospital ponder out loud about April and Jackson's situation, Amelia encourages them to go to the chapel and pray to whoever they pray to. Slowly, different characters came one-by-one into the chapel to light a candle and say a prayer. Including Jackson himself, who perhaps offered the most heart-warming prayer of all.
Jackson's prayer is a plea to a higher being – any higher being – that may be listening. Jackson and April differ when it comes to matters of religion. April grew up in a more conservative, evangelical family. While Jackson provides no evidence of a religious background at all. Jackson's prayer is not for himself or for the baby. His prayer is for April, his wife. While April's faith has always proven strong, in this situation it is weakening. April needs a sign. This is what Jackson prays for.
Amelia, who was the one who suggested to the others that they make a visit to the chapel, is mentoring Stephanie the intern through a complicated tumor. Amelia's words to Stephanie ring true to all who visit the chapel: "You must be willing to look for light in the darkest places."
The episode is filled with dark moments, as is life, in need of light. The woman who unexpectedly loses her husband. The parents having to make difficult decisions for their unborn baby. Though we live in moments of darkness, we seek the Light. We must be willing to look for the Light.
At the end of the episode Amelia returns to the chapel, and finds that all the candles have been lit. Light breaks forth.

We can prepare pupils for Associated Board practical exams which are available in most instruments and voice. The Associated Board also offer written theory of music exams.
We organise a special Associated Board exam session in Camden just after the end of every term. To enter your child we need the completed application and payment by the deadline. Please send the application form as soon as the teacher says your child is ready, then confirm the booking with a payment before the deadline.
Exam preparation sessions tailored to each pupil are available at our Senior Saturday Music Centre.
Exams provide a progressive system of assessments. They start with the Prep Test, a gentle introduction where the examiner gives encouraging feedback but there is no pass or fail.
Grades 1 - 8 require 100 marks out of 150 to pass. Pupils can study in their own time and at their own pace and there is no need to take every grade. Many pupils skip a level or enter for strategic grades.
The 'grades' are recognised as international benchmarks and are valued by teachers and institutions all over the world. Grades 6 upwards also carry UCAS tariff points.
To enter at grade 6 and above, pupils need to have passed grade 5 theory.
Exams don't suit all pupils, but for some they provide clear attainable goals and are good for motivation.
The Music Service enters pupils for practical and theory examinations three times a year.
During the exam pupils will be asked to perform three prepared pieces of music. Most pieces have a piano accompaniment and all candidates (apart from those entering for piano or guitar) will need an accompanist. We are usually able to provide an accompanist for pupils we enter, although pupils are welcome to bring their own.
In addition to the pieces, candidates will be asked to play some prepared technical exercises (called scales and arpeggios). Also, candidates will be asked to play a short piece of music they have not seen before. This is called sightreading. Finally, the examiner will ask candidates to take three or four short aural tests.

Continuous learning, be it on the job or as a private initiative, assures that employees are more productive, achieve goals more quickly and increase their job satisfaction. Effectively helping companies to be more flexible and adaptable to changes in technology.
Training, be it face-to-face, virtual or by means of e-learning is hot these days. And for good reason. 33% of all the jobs, that will be filled by 2020 don't exist today. This means that companies need to be prepared to fill the knowledge gap between what people know today and what they need to know in one year and more. This requires a structured change management process and a dedicated learning path.
In the webinar-recording below, our Certified Salesforce Trainer, Marina Cooreman, explains the benefits of Continuous Learning with Salesforce.
Need more information in regard to these benefits? Read our blog that goes more in-depth into the different topics of Continuous Learning with Salesforce by clicking this link.
Kick-start your Continuous Learning strategy
Training is more than reading a manual or following a seminar. Training should be scenario based, showing exactly what employees are facing every day in their job, and then showing them how to improve results, spend less time searching and meeting deadlines earlier or easier. Effective training also lets trainees participate by means of questions, knowledge checks and sometimes a test.
Are you in for the long-run? Then kick-start your continuous learning strategy by contacting us via this form or via e-mail.

Branding Inspiration of the Month: May
Nothing thrills us more than seeing a whole brand come together across multiple pieces of packaging and in-store touch points. Here's what's inspiring us this month.
Pablo & Rusty's is considered one of Sydney's premier coffee roasters and cafes, specialising in delivering an experience nothing short of quality. Culture and customer-centricity is at the heart of this brand's philosophy, and when you see the effort that's gone into their branding; you can hardly be surprised.
Through their clean and simple aesthetic and modern approach to cafe traditions, Pablo & Rusty's identity successfully defines Sydney's cafe culture, and encompasses the essence of a society so reliant on it's coffee.
Pro tip: Your brand is unique, and so are your customers. Take the time to understand exactly who they are and what interests them, in order to create a memorable experience – one which ensures their return.
The colour palette of rich blues and soft neutral tones deliver a sense of sophistication and maturity to the eye, complimenting and enhancing the warm tones of coffee. As a result, the coffee and the food, becomes the centerpiece of attention, since the colours draw attention to what is yet to be consumed.
Although it maintains a high sense of sophistication; the brand identity still remains highly approachable. This is created through the incorporation of woods and neutral tones, which produces a feeling of warmth. This welcoming 'feel' is further strengthened by the contemporary approach to stencil typography, as well as the application of their moniker, 'P&R', which is displayed across almost all pieces of branding.
Backed by a commitment to delivering quality coffee and food, Pablo & Rusty's have ensured that their customers not only return, but encourage others to accompany them on their next visit.
We hope you enjoyed this feature article. For more inspiration, please join us on Instagram or Pinterest to explore the very best of packaging across all industries.

Carolyn's Online Magazine (#COMe)
ANNOUNCEMENT: A photography exhibit displaying the work of the late Charles (Chuck) R. Martin is scheduled during April in the Ligonier Valley Library Pennsylvania Room hallway. The Foothills Writers (formerly the Beanery Writers Group) is hosting the opening night reception at 6:30 p. m., April 5th. Martin's widow, Sal Martin, will speak about the photos, which include images from the April 1968 Martin Luther King, Jr., demonstration and images from local reenactments of the French and Indian War. For further information contact Shirley Iscrupe in the Pennsylvania Room of the Library, 724 238 6451.
Chuck and Sally Martin became special friends whom I met through writing groups, first the Foothills Writers Group that met in Mt. Pleasant in the late 1990s and early 2000s, then the Foothills Writers (formerly the Beanery Writers Group) that continues to meet in Latrobe Pennsylvania.
It was several years into the Latrobe Foothills meetings that we discovered both Chuck's ancestor and my ancestor (Michael Rugh) were part of a committee of 5 which purchased the land for the Westmoreland County Courthouse in Greensburg Pennsylvania. To top it off a small piece of that land was purchased from Sally's ancestors. This connection solidified our friendship.
That I, as a New Englander, even had ancestors in Southwestern Pennsylvania (the Mechlings whose land grant is now Westmoreland County Community College, and the Rughs of the Rugh blockhouse) is another story that began in San Francisco when a young vacationer entered a shoe store to purchase shoes. But then, that's another story.
Chuck was a professional photographer who passed away a couple of years ago.
I wrote two articles on Chuck in CAROLYN'S COMPOSITIONS , my online magazine that preceded my current online magazne, Carolyn's Online Magazine. You can enjoy the articles @:
- Pittsburgh Photos the Day After Martin Luther King's Assassination
- Chris Moore Was in Jones Mills (PA) to Interview Chuck Martin
For those of you who live in or are visiting the Ligonier Valley/Latrobe area of Pennsylvania I invite you to attend opening night, or to stop in and view Chuck's photos on display at the Ligonier Valley Library in Ligonier, Pennsylvania.
NOTE: The WordPress writing prompt for March 21, 2016, is friend.

I think I watched every episode of Gardening Australia while Peter Cundall was on it and I came to really like that pom enough to almost accept his advice. What I like most about him still is his determination to stop woodchipping Tasmania's old growth forests and to stand up and be arrested, at 82, for the cause. He also single-handedly brought organics into the homes of every Australian TV gardener, making purchasers of chemicals quiver in their boots, with his outspoken criticism of chemical agriculture and horticulture.
Yesterday I visited the Royal Tasmanian Botanic Gardens, where Pete's Patch from Scratch began. Cleverly, placing this in a botanic gardens gives it credibility somehow and also ensures that it continues to inspire people long after Peter has left Gardening Australia and hopefully long after Gardening Australia has finished too. I knew I was approaching "his" vegetable garden because the use of vegetables as garden features seemed to have leaked out and spread into surrounding garden areas, as good ideas are wont to do. In this photo, left, of the conservatory garden, a narrow, stone wall raised bed is filled with silver beet (foreground) and each corner of the square is punctuated with a teepee of scarlet runner beans in their full flowering glory. Herbs and more vegetables form 90% of this entire beautiful garden, including the centrepieces of the 4 lawns filled with sweetcorn and rainbow chard (right).
The vegetable garden was of course lovely but what I loved most was the ecology of it all.... like I am always going on about.... surround your vegetables and fruit with herbs and flowers and native plants and you will gain on every level.... few pests, more variety to pick, whether food or flowers, and the sheer joy of seeing such abundance flourish so effortlessly as a result. And the earth will gain too, in too many ways to go into again here. There were bees and butterflies and birds and all things wise and wonderful in this beautiful border of herbs and perennials which formed the backdrop of the vegetable garden.
At the very back you can just see a corner of a massive, old, brick wall which provides a much needed warmer microclimate for some of the fruit trees which are thriving here in less than ordinarily ideal conditions. There are citrus and tamarillos and passionfruit to name a few.
Scarlet runner beans grow to enormous heights here, as you can see in this photo and beans in general seem to produce incredible crops right through summer.
In the glass house were some tropical herbs like lemongrass.
All in all it was a wonderful, lush, productive garden full to overflowing with fruit and vegetables, all grown without chemicals of any sort.
"I guess that's your bloomin' lot".... as Peter would say .... "but you'll be absolutely blown away by the rest of the Botanic Garden that I will write about soon."
I will upload some more photos here soon. In the meantime, you can read about this beautiful garden here.

The case shows that the bankruptcy debtors in In re Trump Entertainment Resorts, 2016 WL 191926 (3rd Cir. 2016) operate the Trump Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, which employees 2,953 individuals. UNITE HERE Local 54 (the "union"), the largest of the casino's employee unions, represents 1,136 of these employees.
The union and Taj Mahal reached a collective bargaining agreement in 2011, which included a three-year term with the following durational provision: "The collective bargaining agreement shall remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 14, 2014, and shall continue in full force and effect from year to year thereafter, unless either party serves 60 days written notice of its intention to terminate, modify or amend the collective bargaining agreement."
The bankruptcy approached the union with notice on March 7, 2014, declaring their "intention to terminate, modify, or amend" the labor agreement before requesting to initiate a new agreement with the union. The union neglected to respond, and subsequently received a follow up request on April 10. The union responded on April 30, describing a hesitance towards a new collective bargaining agreement, given how prematurely the debtors demanded change (as in, five months before the expiration of the contract). The union notified the debtors that they would respond before the expiration of their current contract.
The debtors subsequently requested a meeting with the union on August 20, voicing concern over their precarious financial circumstances. The union did not respond, as such, the debtors recommended some alterations to their agreement on August 28, suggesting a 401(k) program to replace pension contributions and requesting subsidized coverage via the Affordable Care Act instead of the current health and welfare program. Although the union was interested in resolutions to its pension dilemma, it would not comply with suggestions regarding the health and welfare program. Overall, the two parties did not reach an agreement.
This impasse, caused the debtors to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on September 9, 2016. Two days later, the debtors approached the union with a request to extend the term of the labor agreement—a request the union denied. The debtors and the union did not reach a new arrangement, and the previously established agreement expired on September 14, 2016. Three days later, on September 17, 2016, the debtors sent another proposal to the union, providing evidence of the debtor's grim financial situation and a request to meet within one week. The union agreed to a meeting with the debtors on September 24, and after that meeting, the union asked for more evidence – items the debtors quickly produced. Apparently, it did little to satisfy the union, and after two days, the union approached the debtors with inquiries for even more information.
On September 26, 2016 the debtors filed a motion under section 113 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code requesting the dismissal of the labor pact and incorporation of what the debtors initially wanted in their last proposal. According to the debtors, dismissal of the labor pact was essential to a three-part business plan towards reorganization that expects allowances from the union, lien lenders, and local and state authorities. Without the requested relief, the debtors would have no choice but to liquidate and shut down the casino. The motion in question was granted by the Bankruptcy Court, and the debtors were subsequently obligated to satisfy their proposal. The Bankruptcy Court ascertained the debtor's fulfilment of requirements laid out in Section 1113 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy Court came to the conclusion that debtors' proposal was crucial to its reorganization efforts, and the union rejected the debtor's proposal on unfair and unjustified grounds.
The union, on the other hand, has grown to be a source of concern for both the Bankruptcy Court and the debtors. The union continued to visibly protest, voice slanders and dissuade customers from setting up conferences at the casino. The court noted that the union was not as receptive to negotiations as the debtors, but was more interested in making business exceedingly difficult for debtors. When the Bankruptcy Code supplants the NLRA, measures are only taken to keep the debtor in business and recognize that reorganization is the best way to accomplish preservation of the enterprise.
The first lien secured creditor was explicit – action would only take place if the labor agreement and tax relief contingencies were fulfilled – as relief is critical to the survival of the business. Debtors' plans to reorganize can only come to fruition when terms sanctioned by the NLRA are rejected. To that effect, the Bankruptcy Code gives debtors the breathing room to collect themselves and restructure. A debtor can modify its debts to ensure its longevity with a Chapter 11 reorganization, for example, building profits to reimburse creditors in light of any losses incurred from bankruptcy. Economically speaking, it is in the best interests of employers and employees to restructure and not liquidate, keeping assets and jobs intact.
A successful reorganization is contingent on time, however, and rejection via Section 1113 is faster than the more gradual and elaborate process laid out by the NLRA. Section 1113 nonetheless carries a potential obstacle, a holding that refuses debtors the chance to reject expired bargaining agreements or its proceeding terms. For all of Section 1113's beneficial goals, such a holding may prevent a business's survival. The alternative presented itself to the debtors who, when restrained by either the NLRA or their contract, yielded to the expired agreement, prohibiting any restructuring from taking place. The 3rd Circuit contends that the debtors should not be forced to submit to the expired agreement's terms until both parties negotiate, just because they filed a Section 1113 motion a week after the agreement expired. In regards to this whole dilemma, the Court of Appeals was in sound agreement with the Bankruptcy Court's judgment.

1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS25-t!
I've only owned this car for a few months now, its not packing a lot of firepower or even mods in general. But that means its just the ideal grass-roots drift car! We're looking at a bone stock RB25DET with nothing but a Tomei Expreme Ti exhaust. And as for suspension it has Cusco Street Zero-A coilovers. The rest of the tasteful mods are all listed below in my attempt of a magazine feature style photo set!
To top off, ACTION SHOTS!
except for the KamiSama stickers (Shoutout to BigSmoke!) which we had to print out

With towering glass buildings along the waterfront and a breath-taking mountain backdrop, Vancouver is an incredibly photogenic city. An urban playground on the edge of the wilderness, Vancouver is a photographer's paradise. From bustling markets and hip neighbourhoods to suspension bridges in ancient rainforests, there are so many beautiful places to take pictures. Here are 18 of the most instagrammable spots in Vancouver that you won't want to miss.
The most instagrammable spots in North Vancouver
Take a short ferry ride from Downtown's Waterfront station and you'll find yourself in the North Shore, home to Vancouver's most beautifully wild scenery.
1. Cypress Mountain Vancouver Outlook
This is a beautiful spot to photograph sunrise in Vancouver. Located just off the road on the way to Cypress Mountain Resort, the lookout offers an unrivalled view of Vancouver. Watching the sun light up the city and the surrounding mountain ranges is a magical experience.
Address: Cypress Bowl Road, West Vancouver, BC V0N 1G0
2. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
Situated in a West Coast rainforest, there are so many beautiful photography spots in the park. The suspension bridge is the main attraction but I actually preferred taking photos on the Cliffwalk and up in the trees on the Treetops Adventure. We visited Capilano in January during the Canyon Lights Festival which made the park even more enchanting. As night crept in, the rainforest lit up with thousands of tiny lights and became a winter wonderland. The festival runs from late November until the end of January and I would highly recommend going if you are ever in the area at that time. They run a free shuttle bus from Downtown Vancouver all year round.
Address: 3735 Capilano Road, North Vancouver, BC V7R 4J1
3. Lynn Canyon Park
Capilano can get very busy, especially in the summer and during the Christmas period. Lynn Canyon Park is a lovely alternative and is actually free to explore. It has a smaller suspension bridge and is far less crowded than Capilano. There are lots of hiking trails through the dense forest which offer plenty of opportunities to take some more original Instagram photos. The park is easily accessible from Downtown. You can take the Seabus from Waterfront Station to Lonsdale Quay and then get bus #228 or #229 to Lynn Valley Center. From there it is a 15 minute walk to the main entrance.
Address: 3663 Park Road, North Vancouver, BC V7J 3G3
4. Lonsdale Quay Market
Step off the Seabus from Downtown and you'll find yourself in the bustling Lonsdale Quay Market. Located on the waterfront next to the Shipyards, the market offers one of the best views of Vancouver's skyline. In the summer, the Shipyards host a Friday night market each week where you can sample delicious food whilst watching the sun set over Vancouver – it definitely is one of Vancouver's top Instagram spots!
Address: 123 Carrie Cates Ct, North Vancouver, BC V7M 3K7
The most instagrammable spots in Stanley Park
Stanley Park is one of North America's largest urban green spaces. Just walking through the park amongst the majestic trees offers so many photo opportunities. On a sunny day you can capture the light bursting through the canopies as you wander the trails which crisscross through the park.
5. Stanley Park Seawall
The Seawall offers spectacular views of the waterfront and Vancouver's skyline. Enter from Coal Harbour and you'll get a lovely view of Vancouver's skyscrapers juxtaposed against the dense trees of Stanley Park.
Address: Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC V6G 3E2
6. Brockton Point Lighthouse
Built in 1914 to prevent further shipwrecks on Stanley Park's dangerous shores, the red and white lighthouse has become a popular spot for photographers. It is situated on the park's easternmost peninsula and offers beautiful views over the skyscrapers in Downtown, Lions Gate Bridge and North Vancouver. You can see the lighthouse from various points along the Seawall but my favourite spot is half way between the lighthouse and Lions Gate Bridge where you can see the lighthouse against the stunning mountain backdrop.
Address: Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC V6G 3E2
7. Prospect Point Lookout
Situated at the northern tip of Stanley Park, Prospect Point has the best view of Lions Gate Bridge and is the spot where most of the shots you see on Instagram are taken from. With a beautiful mountain backdrop, you can get amazing shots at any time of the day; however, the best time to go is when the light is fading so you can get long exposure shots with light trails from the cars.
Address: 5601 Stanley Park Drive, Vancouver, BC V6G 3E2
8. Lions Gate Bridge
Lions Gate Bridge itself is very photogenic but it's also one of the best places in Vancouver to watch the sunrise. If you walk half way along the bridge you'll have a wonderful view of Vancouver's skyscrapers peeking out over the treetops of Stanley Park. If the conditions are right, you can get some stunning shots of the sea fog rolling in.
Address: Lions Gate Bridge Road, Vancouver, BC
9. Siwash Rock
If you wander further around the Seawall you'll find Siwash Rock, a famous rock structure with a small Douglas fir on top. It is located between 3rd Beach, Prospect Point and Lions Gate Bridge and is one of the most photographed spots in Stanley Park.
The most instagrammable spots in Downtown
The heart of Vancouver is made up of several colourful neighbourhoods which have their own characteristics. Downtown is easily walkable thanks to the grid street system so you can cover a lot in one day. Here are a few of the best photo spots in Downtown.
10. Canada Place
Located at the heart of Vancouver's waterfront, Canada Place is both a cruise ship terminal and a convention centre, hosting world-class events all year round. It is one of Vancouver's iconic landmarks and is quite a photogenic venue with a roof shaped like sails. It also offers a stunning view of the North Shore mountains and is home to the famous Digital Orca sculpture.
Address: 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC V6C 3T4
11. Coal Harbour
Coal Harbour stretches from Stanley Park to Canada Place. The Seawall along Coal Harbour is a beautiful place for photography, with the marina and mountains on one side and the modern towering glass buildings on the other. In the mornings, the sea mist makes the walk even more spectacular.
12. Davie Village
Head to Davie Village to get a shot of the much-photographed Rainbow Crosswalk. Located at the intersection of Davie Street and Bute Street, it's one of Vancouver's most colourful Instagram spots and plays a big part in Vancouver's annual Pride celebrations.
Address: 1238-1216 Bute Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 1Z6
13. Sunset Beach Park
It's called Sunset Beach for a good reason. We watched two incredible sunsets on this beach during our trip to Vancouver. There are lots of large tree logs along the beach where you can sit and watch the sun go down.
Address: 1204 Beach Avenue, Vancouver, BC V6E 1V3
14. Water Street
Located in Gastown, Vancouver's oldest neighbourhood, Water Street has retained its historic charm. The Steam Clock is a popular tourist attraction but if you wander down the street you'll also find beautiful vintage lampposts and well-preserved picturesque buildings which have been converted into shops, restaurants and galleries. It is even more magical at night when the lampposts give the street a warm orange glow.
Address: 305 Water Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 1B9
15. Granville Island Public Market
Stands piled high with fresh fruit and vegetables, cute boutiques filled with colourful flowers and the large neon lights under the bridge, Granville Island's Public Market is an Instagrammer's heaven. Wander around the stands inside and take some photos of the local produce before heading outdoors to get some shots of the warehouse and the bridge. It does get very busy at weekends so try and go during the week if you can.
Address: 1669 Johnston Street, Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
The most instagrammable spots in South Vancouver
If you want to get a glimpse into local life in Vancouver, then head across the bridge and explore South Granville. Home to some of Vancouver's best attractions, South Granville is not a touristy district so you can really get a feel for daily life in the city. There are lots of beautiful boutiques, heritage houses, peaceful gardens to explore.
16. Hadden Park
Once you have taken some photos of the Granville Island neon sign, walk left onto the Seawall trail. Follow this trail and you'll get some lovely photos of the harbour looking back at Granville Island and Downtown's glass skyscrapers. Keep walking along the trail and you'll eventually come to Hadden Park where you will get a wonderful view of the dense forest of Stanley Park and the mountains.
Address: 1905 Ogden Avenue, Vancouver, BC V6J 1A3
17. Queen Elizabeth Park
For a panoramic view of Vancouver, head to Queen Elizabeth Park. As the city's highest point, the park has a clear view of the dramatic mountain-framed cityscape and has become a popular Instagram spot. If you take a walk around the park you'll find lots of other cool places to take pictures.
Address: 4600 Cambie Street, Vancouver, BC V5Z 2Z1
18. Bloedel Conservatory
Located in Queen Elizabeth Park, Bloedel Conservatory is a great place to go to escape the rain and warm up. However it's also a very cool photography spot and you can get some impressive shots inside the glass roofed garden. Filled with tropical plants and home to some very brightly coloured birds, there are plenty of places inside the conservatory where you can take some great photos, including a flower wall and a cute little bridge.
Address: 4600 Cambie Street, Vancouver, BC V5Y 2M4
With its breath-taking mountain backdrop and colourful neighbourhoods, Vancouver is quite possibly one of the most photogenic cities I've ever been to. From rainforests and beaches to historic buildings and skyscrapers, there is no shortage of instagrammable spots in Vancouver. I hope this post inspires you to go and explore this beautifully wild city.
Love from Steph

In Sweden, an expected growing gap between available resources and greater potential for medical treatment has brought evidence-based guidelines and priority setting into focus. There are problems, however, in areas where the evidence base is weak and underlying ethical values are controversial. Based on a specified definition of multiple-diseased elderly patients, the aims of this study are: (i) to describe and quantify inpatient care utilisation and patient characteristics, particularly regarding cardiovascular disease and co-morbidity; and (ii) to question the applicability of evidence-based guidelines for these patients with regard to the reported characteristics (i.e. age and co-morbidity), and to suggest some possible strategies in order to tackle the described problem and the probable presence of ageism. We used data from three sources: (a) a literature review, (b) a register study, based on a unique population-based register of inpatient care in Sweden, and (c) a national cost per patient database. The results show that elderly patients with multiple co-morbidities constitute a large and growing population in Swedish inpatient hospital care. They have multiple and complex needs and a large majority have a cardiovascular disease. There is a relationship between reported characteristics, i.e. age and co-morbidity, and limited applicability of evidence-based guidelines, and this can cause an under-use as well as an over-use of medical interventions. As future clinical studies will be rare due to methodological and financial factors, we consider it necessary to condense existing practical-clinical experiences of individual experts into consensus-based guidelines concerning elderly with multi-morbidity. In such priority setting, it will be important to consider co-morbidity and differens degrees of frailty.
Demographic trends and other factors are expected to continue widening the gap between health care demands and available resources, especially in elder services. This growing imbalance signals a need for priority setting in health care. The literature has previously described problems in constructing useable means of priority setting, particularly when evidence is sparse, when patient groups are not satisfactorily defined, when interpretation of the term patient need is unclear, and when uncertainty prevails on how to weigh different ethical values. The chosen study object illustrates these problems. Moreover, the Swedish Government recently stated that care for elderly persons with complex health care needs remains underfunded. The general aim of this thesis is: to study micro-level priority setting for elderly heart patients with complex needs, as illustrated by those with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI); to relate the findings to evidence-based priority setting, e.g. guidelines for heart disease; and to analyse how complex needs could be appropriately categorised from a perspective of evidence-based priority setting.
Paper I presents a register study that uses data from the Patient Register to describe inpatient care utilization, costs, and characteristics of elderly patients with multiple diseases. Paper II presents a confidential survey study from a random sample of 400 Swedish cardiologists. Paper III presents a prospective, clinical, observational multicentre-study of elderly patients with myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Paper IV presents a questionnaire study from a purposeful, stratified sample of Swedish cardiologists.
The results from Paper I show that elderly patients with multiple diseases have extensive and complex needs, frequently manifesting chronic and intermittently acute disease and consuming health care at various levels. A large majority have manifested cardiovascular disease. Results from Paper II indicate that although 81% of cardiologists reported extensive use of national guidelines in their clinical decision-making generally, the individual clinician's personal clinical experience and the patient's views were used to a greater extent than national guidelines, when making decisions about elderly multiple-diseased patients. Many elderly heart disease patients with complex needs manifest severe, acute or chronic, comorbid conditions that constitute exclusion criteria in evidence-generating studies, thereby limiting the generalisability of evidence and applicability of guidelines for these patients. This was indicated in papers I-IV. Paper III reports that frailty is a strong independent risk factor for adverse, short-term, clinical outcomes, e.g. one-month mortality for elderly NSTEMI patients. Particularly frail patients with a high comorbidity burden manifested a markedly increased risk.
In the future, prospective clinical studies and registries with few exclusion criteria should be conducted. Consensus-based judgments based on a framework for priority setting as regards elderly patients with complex needs may offer an alternative, estimating the benefitrisk ratio of an intervention and the time-frame of expected benefits in relation to expected life-time. Such a framework, which is tentatively outlined in this thesis, should take into account comorbidity, frailty, and disease-specific risk.

Spireites legend Bob Newton will have a keen eye on Saturday's game as the Spireites come up against the last English club he represented, Bristol Rovers.
'The Newt', who celebrated his 60th birthday earlier this week, took time out to look back at his short time in the south west, when he played under Bobby Gould.
He said: "Bristol Rovers is a great club. There were some great lads who played for them, including Nicky Tanner, John Scales, Gary Penrice and Steve Yates.
"I'd also like to mention Tim Carter, a goalkeeper who sadly took his life a few years ago. He was great lad. It just shows you that football isn't everything and life has a different view. Tim was a great guy and a great coach.
"Gould signed me and Dave Rushbury we were there to essentially keep them up and that's what we did. I wasn't at my best but we had the experience and good young lads as well like Tanner, Penrice and Darren Carr, so they were blended with our experience and got them through it. Bobby actually wanted me to be his assistant and I don't know why I turned it down.
"I've got some great stories of Bobby. We were bottom of the league and hadn't played for four games because of bad weather. We turned up for our next game and the pitch was like a mud bath, there was no way it could be played but Bobby got hold of the referee and insisted it was playable. The referee said, 'No chance' so Bobby replied, 'Get your Wellingtons on and go on the pitch.'
"Bobby took the ref to what he thought was the driest part of the pitch. They were both still arguing and eventually the ref said for the final time to him that the game was off and walked off. Bobby tried to walk off but he was stuck in the mud and had to remove his boots to get off the pitch!"
Bob, who scored 35 goals for the Spireites between 1983 and 1985, thinks it'll be a close encounter between his two former employers at the Proact. He commented: "I see it being a draw but my football predictions are terrible!
"Bristol Rovers have a great defence so I think that's what's got them through it so far, but we're on the back of a win so we can get there.
"I love both clubs and it's a difficult one when you've played for both but I am a Spireite through and through so I want Chesterfield to win."

Yesterday after the workout I met my sister's and their husbands/families at our mom's house for a labor day cookout / clean up. We filled the back of two pickup trucks and my utility trailer with items for the dump. We set up a big tent/car port to prepare my mom for a party she is throwing this weekend "just because".
We socialized while we worked. Then we had a nice cookout. And to top it off one of my sisters had a slow leak in her tire due to a nail so my brother in law and I changed it out. But, of course, the spare was rusted in place underneath the vehicle. "There's no such thing as an easy job". A big hammer and a little while later and we managed.
Today's workout:
Five rounds for time of:
Row 250 meters
135 pound Front squat, 10 reps
15 GHD Sit-ups
20 Box jumps, 24 inch box
I don't have a rower so I sub'd sumo deadlift high pulls (SDHP). I figured the 135 pounds was doable but since the WOD appears to be something to blister through I lowered the weight to 95 pounds so I wouldn't be taking any breaks.
My time was 18:05. And I left a puddle and splatters of sweat everywhere.

Corn Moussaka
This is a delicious casserole. It is also different, with the flavors of corn, tomato, and cinnamon coming together harmoniously. I spotted this recipe in a magazine (Sunset ?) over 25 years ago. I have been making it ever since and I think your family will enjoy it as well. The only liberty I have taken with the recipe is the type of corn used as well as the amount.
|Corn Moussaka.

Title : THE METABOLISM OF PELARGONATE-1-C14 BY WHEAT STEM RUST UREDOSPORES,
Corporate Author : NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF CANADA SASKATOON (SASKATCHEWAN) PRAIRIE REGIONAL LAB

Abstract : Uredospores of Puccinia graminis were incubated in phosphate buffer (pH 6.2) containing pelargonic acid-1-C14. After 3 hours 97.5% of the tracer was assimilated. Fifty-five percent of this was released as C14O2 and 36.2% was incorporated into the spores. About one-half of the carbon-14 in the spores was soluble in ethanol and water, whereas nearly a third was ether extractable. The amino acid and carbohydrate fractions contained about equal amounts of carbon-14 and together accounted for twothirds of the radioactivity in the ethanol-water extract. The organic acids were also radioactive. Glutamic acid, gamma-aminobutyric acid, aspartic acid, and alanine were the most highly labelled amino acids. Fifty-three percent of the radioactivity in glutamic acid was found in carbon 1 and 46% in carbon 5. This distribution suggests beta-oxidation of perlargonic acid to acetyl CoA and extensive utilization of the latter by means of the glyoxylate cycle. (Author)

From The Guardian, an excerpt from "A History of the World since 9/11," a new book by Dominic Streatfeild, wherein the U.S. ignores warnings by munitions experts and allows al-Qaeda to get its hands on "the greatest explosives bonanza in history" - and then tries to cover it up. Read it and weep.

What U.S forces on a non-sanctioned "sightsee" stumbled on, then handed to Al-Qaeda: "Within a quarter of an hour, they started
finding things. Paved roads. Watchtowers. Perimeter fences. And, within
them, munitions of every possible shape and size. There were fat bombs,
thin bombs, cartoon-style bombs with big fins and, lying in the hot
morning sun, bombs that appeared to be leaking corrosive brown material.
Some of them were as big as Volkswagens."

While proofreading my latest paperback novel- which I'm trying to complete quickly without butchering the storyline- I've been busily sketching, organizing, and brainstorming for my next style guide. Since I'm already behind, and I have missed my 2019 goals by a long-shot, I am leaning toward a frothy, cozy winter theme that doesn't include holiday inspiration. Where I am currently residing, winter can continue until May, which is a heartbreaker for me- I just miss those warm Carolina sunsets. Neverthless, I love watching the snow fall along the farms. I love thick, colorful sweaters that feel so warm and toasty. I love driving through the snowy mountains when no one is around. My next style guide will be a combination of winter moments featuring a glitzy collection, a getaway to the Teton mountains, and a home project that is perfect for those long, dark afternoons that just won't shine… Paperwaif

St. Pete Dentist Reveals 3 Simple Teeth Whitening Tips
Three Easy Teeth Whitening Tips
Over time, the enamel on our teeth begins to thin and the dentin, or the inside part of our teeth, can look darker. Incorporate drinks like coffee or wine, and staining foods, and our teeth can discolor. Smoking and tobacco are the quickest culprits to stain your teeth. Some people are born with naturally dark or yellowish dentin; that cannot change. Even medications can make our teeth appear darker, particularly when we are growing up. Tetracycline is an antibiotic that can discolor a child's teeth and affect their smile.
There are easy ways to whiten your teeth at home. Keep in mind that over the counter products are not as potent as those utilized by your dentist. Certain products require a prescription and supervision under a licensed dentist. Dr. Brayer reveals three simple ways to whiten your teeth at home.
Brushing with peroxide will lighten your teeth to a degree. Peroxide will bleach some stains with regular use. The downside of peroxide is that it has the ability to cause sensitivity. However, the concentration of regular peroxide is far less than that found in a dentist's office.
As a trusted St Petersburg Dentist, I often share with patients that OTC products may lighten their teeth one or two shades. For mild staining, this can be all you need. Strips or molds that fit over your teeth with bleaching fluid and toothpastes work to remove stains by bleaching or abrasion. One home remedy is to use baking soda as a stain removing abrasive. The drawback is that continuous use of abrasives can wear away the enamel of your teeth.
Avoiding anything that will stain your teeth is the simplest way to maintain the enamel's appearance. Unfortunately, that would mean giving up a healthy diet to obtain whiter teeth. You can limit the exposure of these substances to avoid the substances that accumulate to cause stains. Your local St. Petersburg dentist can advise you about other methods to whiten your teeth such as bleaching, veneers and more.
