She Speaks My Heart
Throughout the book "Kisses From Katie"… Katie shares how God prepared her throughout life for what she is doing today. When I read her words, it speaks to my heart. I see a similar path I followed, in preparation of my future and how it led me to where I am.
As a parent though, you can understand why one might be concerned… your child, who has everything going for her from a worldly standpoint – willingly changes their course of life, not just a little bit – but in an unimaginable way – just to obey God, while in the process disobeying you.
If she doesn't believe in a works based salvation… then why on earth would someone do that in this day in age? Give up modern conveniences, parental approval, and "worldly successes" for… what? To "follow God's call"? Does that sound like a little TOO MUCH God to you?
Well when God calls you to something – you know. It's not that you don't question … why? or how?… or "are you sure?" But deep down in your soul – you KNOW the answer He desires for you and anything else just isn't going to work.
I tell you, it was very humbling to read some of Katie's journal entries – her struggles, and still – her victory in Christ, and her rejoicing… and yet, in some small way – I could relate. I don't live in Uganda, and I have nothing of the circumstances she has… but yet, often times I'm asked,
"How do you do it?"… or
"Why do you do this…?"
This could be having 8 children in 10 years, being open to life in a world that says two is almost too many (hey I agree, traveling would have been a lot easier!)… home schooling… you name it. Even about being healthy, people think I must have some super-powers to be able to workout late at night, or not eat myself silly during stressful times…
It's nothing of me. I'm NOT special. I don't have super powers… and I truly don't think of me as "doing" any thing as anything other than obedience to His call for us. Sure, we could have chosen other things – but that wasn't our calling… and not each call can be the same. God uses ordinary people – He always has. That is all I am. Just like you.
In the book, Katie talks about all of the ordinary people God used – Moses, Jonah, David, Mary, Paul… and then she shared this:
"Sometimes, the everyday routine of my life feels so normal to me. At other times the idea of raising all these children seems like quite a daunting task. I realize that since I have chosen an unusual path it is easier for outsiders to look at my life and come to the conclusion that it is something extraordinary. That I am courageous. That I am strong. That I am special. But I am just a plain girl from Tennessee. Broken in many ways, sinful and inadequate. Common and simple with nothing special about me. Nothing special except I choose to say "yes". "Yes" to the things God asks of me and "yes" to the people He places in front of me. You can too. I am just an ordinary person. An ordinary person serving an extraordinary God."
AMEN. That about sums it up for me.
So, when you're feeling like you can't say NO to that temptation of food… or you'd rather say NO to exercising. Remind yourself that you're saying YES to God, and His plan for your health. It's okay to say no to things… it means we're saying yes to something else. Self-denial is unconventional for sure… but sometimes it's really worth it.
"For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable." -Romans 11:29
For what it's worth, Katie has a blog that tells what she's up to. Check it out if you feel led! 🙂

When working with people of other faiths or even non-believers, a safe and neutral place to interact is often a necessity. So several years ago we helped some of our indigenous missionaries procure a run-down building. The price began at $200k and eventually it was purchased for $50k; German and American churches helped as well as individuals from those countries.
More specifically this building is needed:
Our vision and perspective for use of the building:
More specifically this building is needed:
- To go to the next step of our ministry, from building relationships (libraries, personal communication) to the study of the Scriptures and to the weekly worship services
- For camps for children and young people during the winter and summer vacations.
- Sporting events between young athletes, believers and non-believers, in order to preach the gospel and reach some for Christ.
- For programs like music and painting to be offered to children from low-income families as an avenue for friendship evangelism.
Our vision and perspective for use of the building:
- To enable the first church for a specific people group
- Creation of a training center.
a) for the intensive study of scriptures with new believers.
b) for the preparation of leaders from different places for ministry.
c) to conduct seminars on family and marriage.
g) to prepare leaders for the camps for children and youth.
- Creation of a medical center in collaboration with the Christian Medical Association.
The building was not in good shape on the inside - the doors and windows were partially bricked up, but vandals managed to sneak inside. After securing the purchase, the missionaries living there began renovations on the interior - here are some "before" and "after" images. Pretty impressive improvements!

Chennai-based Star Health Insurance is looking to raise `. 400 crore from a clutch of private equity investors to fund its expansion plans, according to its chairman and managing director V Jagannathan.
Star Health is a joint venture between ICICI Venture, Sequoia Capital, Tata Capital Growth Fund, Alpha TC Holdings and Oman Insurance Company . "We have appointed JM Financial to raise this fund," Jagannathan said, adding that Star Health needs capital to grow its business.According to Jagannathan, last year the company grew its gross written premium income by 34%.He said the industry has the potential to grow at 25-30% a year.
Health insurance business accounts for about a quarter of the total non-life insurance business in the country. Penetration of the insurance industry has grown at a steady pace since non-state companies were allowed in 2000.
Penetration, defined as the ratio of insurance premiums to GDP, was 2.71% at the time. It rose to 4% at the end of March 2012. Nonlife insurance penetration was 0.60-0.78% over the past decade, despite health insurance growing at a 30% compounded annual rate over the past seven years.
Star Health has a capital base `651 crore. It is the first stanof .dalone health insurance company and is dealing with personal accident, mediclaim and overseas travel insurance. The company has moved away from writing mass government policy like Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana. Jagannathan said that Star Health is writing mostly retail health policies, which account for 90% of its book. "We do not write much corpo rate business as it is not adequately priced," he said.
The government hiked foreign direct investment in insurance from 26% to 49% in March 2015.The company posted a profit of . 50 crore in the first quarter of the ` financial year. It came up with rights issue of ` . 75 crore earlier this financial year. The company operates through a network of 290 branch offices.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish since this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and control them. With instant access links, you'll also be able to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.

Today was like many other days, but more annoying than many. I awoke later than I wanted to, but that is becoming the norm. My ankle was still sore as I had rolled it the day before last, and I had an exam to contemplate. What fun was to be had by all today.
So today began, and after the work lappy booted and I got established on the work network, I go hunting for the memo my boss wants. I find it and wait for the email client to be ready. I send it in and now sit wondering if it will be read by anybody this time.
Ablutions complete, I make myself ready for the day. Shaving my ankle to taking the tape off won't hurt so much felt a little weird and caused me to wonder why shaving with the grain of the hair is more effective. Why shaving my face for these last few years hasn't made me ask the same question is beyond me, for now. Heading to the bus stop the day continues.
On the bus to Uni today nothing of note happened; this is of course unusual enough for me to feel the need to say something.
On a fail note, I left the text book for the subject of today's exam at home. I am a moron sometimes. Then again it was multivariate calculus and I reckon I did just fine. My exam was at noon (well the start time was 11 past, but close enough) and I had gotten through 18 / 20 marks in short order, but the damn proof of the greatest directional derivative being in the direction of the gradient had me stumped and I still think that I got it wrong although my arguments at points were pretty good. I think I put just enough errors in there for me to lose most of the 2 marks assigned. And I will have made other little mistakes on the paper.
Then I went to the bar with D. I had one too many to precede the computational mathematics lecture. I still understood what the lecturer was talking about, but I am going to have to do some serious study of the concepts to maximise my result on the end of semester exam.
On the plus side schooners of Bundy Draught are only $6.50 at the Guild Bar, Level 3 L Block, QUT Gardens Point. Epic.
Stupid, annoying colleague gave me the shits this afternoon and I wasn't even at work. Why would you call somebody while they are on a day off and ask them about the redistribution of tasks? Am I the only one who finds that annoying? Maybe I should call her on her next day off, while The timetable she has at her desk shows that she is in a lecture (grrr… calling me in a published lecture block I mean WTF?) and not leaving a message.
Work isn't going to be fun any time soon either. New acting boss who is normally one of our key service providers, who has been arguing for the dissolution of our section and the transference of the responsibilities to his section for years now. Yeah, he's not going to abuse his position of authority over us.
Oh and I'm still, probably permanently, single. Doesn't help that the one time I look like having actually commenced a relationship I get shafted. Joy.
Oh, I did read some good things today but I'll talk about readings another time.

Coke oven gas is one of the main by-products of the coking industry. Every ton of Coke will produce about 300-350 m3 coke oven gas. About 40-50% of coke oven gas is used for burning in the furnace. The rest of the gas must be recycled by special recovery devices, otherwise it can only be burned and discharged into the atmosphere. Some small enterprises, because coking produces less coke oven gas, investment in methanol, fertilizer and other projects may not reach the scale, cost advantage is not obvious, so the coke oven gas power generation is a small investment, effective way.
2. performance characteristics of internal combustion coke oven gas generating set
The working principle of the coke oven gas internal combustion engine generator set is similar to that of the automobile engine. It needs to be ignited by spark plug. The efficiency of the internal combustion engine is much higher than that of the steam turbine and gas turbine because the working temperature in the cylinder reaches 14 000? And the power generation efficiency is more than 35%. Its characteristics are:
2.1 compact structure, small volume, less occupation.
2.2 the thermal efficiency is high, which is 10% higher than that of steam turbine and gas turbine.
2.3 easy operation and quick start.
2.4, the scope of selection can be wider and several or more machines can be used.
2.5 because of simple process and less investment, automatic control can be carried out.
At the end of 2010, our company purchased 3 sets of BG12V190DJ gas-fired internal combustion generating units from Nantong, Jiangsu Province. They have been running steadily since they were connected to the grid in 2011. The power generation power reaches 1500KW or so, which can save 30-40% of the annual electricity consumption and create considerable economic benefits for the enterprises.
3. 内燃式焦炉煤气发电机组做为备用电源的设计
3. design of internal combustion type coke oven gas generator set as standby power supply
3.1 After the coke oven gas internal combustion engine generator set is composed of an internal local power supply network, a set of synchronization device is installed at the low-voltage main switch of the main distribution room, which can be used by the enterprise after the synchronization device and the low-voltage power supply of the market are connected to the grid.
3.2 Installing a set of inverse power protection modules at the low-voltage main switch of the main distribution room can prevent the power generated by the generator from being sent back into the municipal power grid when the external power grid is cut off.
3.3 When power failure occurs in the external network, the low-voltage main switch controls the circuit breaker to jump through the reverse power module, and the generator turns into an isolated network to ensure the normal operation of the main equipment such as blower, circulating ammonia pump and so on. It can avoid the pyrotechnic pollution of the coke oven caused by blower shutdown, and if the power is large enough, it can also ensure the normal production of the coke oven.
3.4 when the external network is powered again, it can be connected to the grid again through the main switch.
3.5 Generator Set can monitor all kinds of temperature, pressure, voltage, current parameters and automatically adjust gas, cooling water and other flow through the program-controlled computer software to ensure the normal operation of the generator set.

"'This will be catastrophic': Maine families face elder boom, worker shortage in preview of nation's future," from The Washington Post, could be a description of a dystopian movie: it's not. This is the state of State of Maine, which is the harbinger of things to come for the rest of these 50 United States. We need to listen to this alarm.
We're facing a demographic dilemma: not enough young people to fill all jobs, even those outside of elder care. We need them now! Where do we get them? We can't hire them because they were never born! Thus, current workers remain on the job long after it's safe or appropriate. Results include accumulated injuries to workers who keep doing injurious jobs. Even the field of healthcare can't find enough workers or volunteers.
The State of Maine has learned that there is no one available to fill home care jobs. There is no one to fill care facility jobs either. Professional fields have the same problem; many of the number of nurses and doctors are now older and there are not enough of them it is and there's no one to replace them.
Medicaid pays far less than other employers, drawing the few workers away from elder care. However, simply raising wages won't help if there are not enough people to hire!
Maine is already experiencing the results, some facilities closed altogether. Others closed admissions for months due to too few staff. No vacancies in care facilities means families must place their loved ones wherever they can. A loved one far away means a l-o-n-g commute to visit. Younger, disabled people also get caught in this care-crunch. If no one is available, some adult children try to fill the gap. Those care gaps further pressure the few remaining working adult children.
Keep this number in mind:
*By 2030, 1 in 5 Americans will be over 60.
*The number of seniors will DOUBLE between 2015 and 2050.
*The senior population over 85 will TRIPLE in that same period.
**We will need 7.8 MILLION new people to fill these jobs. Since we didn't give birth to them; where do we get them?
This isn't as riveting as a news story as a fire, or a shooting, that's the problem. The numbers of affected families are there, but they aren't collected (aggregated). This problem is spread everywhere.
We're in a presidential campaign yet no candidate is talking about this national problem. Why? This demographic dilemma is happening one family at a time: Your family is next.
According to The Strange Political Silence On Elder Care, the problem is our society has an extraordinary number of caregivers who haven't formed a group to push for change. Unlike other groups, such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), caregivers should have formed a constituency to insist on changes which better support them; but they haven't. Why not? One surprising finding is that caregivers don't recognize themselves! How can our society offer support to a person who denies needing help? How can we help if they believe they can't ask? What is the effect of this lack of coalescing, lack of self-identification and the resulting failure to prepare and plan?
This article describes the possible reasons:
Senior Sidekicks has stood with caregivers for the past 12 years! The caregiving phase is the newest part of life's journey. A little over 100 years ago, people didn't live long enough to reach this stage. Our firm has struggled to get new caregivers and those in the midst of caregiving to accept help. Perhaps this article explains why people, who are otherwise prudent, take such a strange view of caregiving.
Let's compare and contrast caregiving attitudes with attitudes to other parts of life's journey:
Your getting married, do you make plans? What kind of a wedding would you have if you didn't acknowledge you were engaged? How would you bring your lives together in marriage: legal, financial, religious, integrating your families, where to live, and children?
My parents, like many during WWII, had a hurry-up wedding. They were high school sweethearts, and engaged in college. When my father finished his course work and ROTC, he was shipped to Texas. The university mailed his diploma. My mother took the train to Texas and they were married by a preacher on base. They had 3 weeks of wedded bliss before he shipped out for 3 years!
Mother went home to a fire storm! Both sets of parents were in shock. Mother had not completed her college education; could she go back and finish? Would the all-girls school take her back as a married woman? Neither of my parents had completed paperwork naming her his spouse? Forms and letters took a long time to reach soldiers in the field and even longer to receive replies. Who would be the listed next-of-kin in the event he didn't come home? She even had to discuss possible burial arrangements!! Who was now responsible to pay for her education? Was she to receive his pay since she was his spouse? Mother described it as a very trying time that she had to face alone because they didn't plan.
Weddings are as much a family matter as caregiving. A wedding, without planning, causes major stress. Caregiving, without planning and support also causes major stress. Yet, families will tell me they'll handle it all by themselves: really?
Let's look at another example:
You're having a baby! Does that mean you don't need any help? If you're expecting do you still need proper medical care, resolve legal matters, insurance, or a larger place to live? We expect that expectant parents need help. We've developed the social systems to provide it. Having children brings many resources into the family. There are Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for both parents in certain situations. There are prepared childbirth classes, visiting nurses to the home after delivery and new mother's groups. Relatives come to help the new mother and baby. Everybody sends food!
It's acceptable to have help for babies, why not for caregivers? The difference is we've had babies for millennia; caregivers, less than 100 years.
Thus, the family caregiver may or may not receive some defacto help from her church, neighbors, or friends. There's no visiting nurse system. The caregiver can take FMLA but it's complicated and doesn't always cover the type of caregiving the employee needs to give the elder. Many FMLAs don't pay the employee. Caregiving may mean moving the elder closer to the caregiver, or moving in with the elder. Caregiving may be so demanding that it afflicts the caregiver's health. The caregiver may be forced to quit the job. A break in the caregiver's career creates a major financial setback as the caregiver tries to re-enter the workforce. Caregivers often draw on their retirement savings during caregiving.
Other developed countries have seen this writing on the wall and started putting plans in place. Why can't the US do that? We can, if we act now.
You can do two things:
Talk to your neighbors. Ask what your church is doing for caregivers? Ask your employer the same thing. FMLA, by itself, is not an adequate response.) Are you a member of a union; put caregiver support on the bargaining table. We already have mandatory courses in sexual harassment and discrimination. Make caregiving training the next mandatory course. Are you an employer? If you prepare for tornadoes; prepare for this gray tsunami. By 2030, 1 in 5 Americans will be over age 60
ENTER THE POLITICAL DEBATE ON THE SIDE OF CAREGIVERS: It's time to insist that the political conversation of this campaign is about p-r-e-p-a-r-i-n-g for this gray tsunami! It touches everyone. It's not red or blue, it's GRAY. Candidates will ask for your vote; tell them to put caregiving in their platform to get your vote!
Caregiving is at least as important as any other policy
I've spent most of my career working with seniors and now I'm a senior. That position allows me to see certain situations with two viewpoints, professional and personal. A recent incident allowed me to glimpse a common situation families experience with seniors but from the internal viewpoint.
The typical scenario goes like this; family member does something they think would help the senior. They do it without discussing it with the senior; just present their contribution. The senior is far from appreciative. Instead, they are upset, angry, or dismissive. The family member reports that they feel wounded, or frustrated. Families say; "I was only trying to help!" Why didn't the senior see the value?
Ask yourself; "When I do things for my senior, am I doing it with them or to them?"
I got to experience this myself. Recently, I visited my children in New York. We rented a B&B which turned out to be awful! After confronting the agent and securing a refund, we had a sad dinner. It was late at night and the children were on their phones looking for lodging. We trudged to the hotel; I checked in and went to bed. Unbeknown to me, the children believed the hotel was "dodgy". They stayed up to late to book another hotel! Now, I was on the hook for a bill I knew nothing about!
I woke up to a call from my daughter-in-law with this news. I had not yet showered, no breakfast, and now I've got to deal with this! I strenuously objected. Insight came to me in the shower (which was running very s-l-o-w-l-y). Three words stood at the center of this conflict: for, with, and to.
My children thought they were doing something for me by booking another hotel. It didn't feel like that to me. Is that what's going on internally when the senior objects? Does for take away another piece of their autonomy?
They didn't do it with me. They kept silent instead of sharing their concerns about the hotel. They made financial assumptions instead of asking me questions. Their decision put me in a money bind.
I felt as though things had been done to me. Is that what's going on internally when seniors object? Are they really mad about the item or the way it came to them? Do families need to take time to walk the senior through the process (preferably after breakfast) or find some way to engage them? I believe that for is a good thing, in the combination of with, so it doesn't feel like to.
P.S. The next hotel had a better shower.
Thanksgiving Is A senior Cyber Weekend
When families gathered on Thanksgiving day, some realized that their senior was not the same as last year. Families often respond by doing internet research. The internet is a good first step. However, some sites make outlandish claims. I saw one that offered a treatment that "cured Alzheimer's". There is no cure and some of these sites can offer dangerous suggestions.
Here are a few reputable sites that offer reliable information:
Alzheimer's Association. This site also has a page devoted to explaining the different types of dementia. It also lists other physical conditions or environmental conditions that can look like dementia.
American Society on Aging. It can feel encyclopedic in size. The society has done decades of research and offers reliable information. It's a good second step.
AARP offers many programs and information for families as well as seniors. Each state has a chapter with offices in each area. Look up your state to find help in your area.
And Senior Sidekicks offers a course; Preparing to Parent Your Parent, to prepare families for the practical issues they will face as they become caregivers. Contact us about teaching this course in your church or at your job. Call (217) 787-5866 or email us for more information.
Has Your Senior Outgrown The House?
How do you know when this old house is the wrong house now? Seniors who are reluctant to move may refuse to leave.
One senior refused to leave her old neighborhood even though the neighborhood had changed. As she left for church one morning, she was shot in the heart by a stray bullet. Waiting to move until there's a crisis means the senior loses control of the move. The senior who was shot was moved by others. They didn't know what she had wanted to take with her; she lost some things which made her very sad.
Taking your senior on a decision-making journey helps them to see for themselves that things have changed. A senior realized a move was necessary when she needed more medical care. The house by the lake was too far away. She spent anxious moments waiting for first responders to arrive when she was in need.
A house is not a home, even though some seniors think they're the same. One senior wanted to keep e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, including the china hutch. She measured her new apartment to show it would fit. However, the movers couldn't get it through the front door. Perhaps it doesn't fit after all. What else won't "fit"? We move into a house and we make it a home.
What's really important to your senior? It's probably not the kitchen sink or the screen door. Important things, like photos and mementos, can go anywhere. These can go to the next housing phase. Senior won't lose the important things: their history.
One family referred to the next phase of housing as a new "home". Their senior dug in her heels and refused to do anything! The family called for my help. I asked the senior to define the word "home". She described an early 20th century county old age home! I explained that the last of those had been torn down years ago. I offered her a different option; her own apartment with indoor mail box and a grounds crew to mow and shovel. She was willing to learn more.
How has your senior's old neighborhood changed? Sometimes they need to see it for themselves. I took my Grandfather out to his front porch. Together we remembered the old neighborhood. He talked about the people who once lived there, the streetcar track, and the horses stabled at the end of the street. Each time I asked him, "Where are they now?" At the end he was silent for a moment. Then he said;"They're all gone". I offered that if all the people and horses had left, maybe it was OK for him to move on as well. "I like my front porch!" my Grandfather said emphatically. "You're right; your next place MUST have a front porch!" I said just as emphatically. Then my grandfather pointed to the two trees in the front yard. "I planted those to shade the house", he said. "They do a great job", I told him. "100 years from now, they'll stand as a testament to your efforts".
Referring to changes as; the next phase of life, works better than to call it; giving up your home. One of my clients was forced to move when she was robbed at home, twice! Even so, she was very upset about leaving. I took her for lunch and a tour of a senior apartment building. She gazed in awe at the beautiful chandelier in the lobby. She did a double-take when a uniformed waiter asked for our luncheon order. After lunch, we toured several apartments. As we drove back to her house I asked her what she thought. "It looks so nice", she said, "When can I move?"
Another senior had been a great gardener. He was unhappy about leaving his garden. I contacted a newly-constructed facility and asked about gardening plots. On our tour, they pointed out future space for residents' gardens. The senior explained that the area had too much shade and offered another part of the yard. Since the plots were not yet set, the staff agreed to consider his idea. He would be their gardening consultant! He moved.
Seniors may see a change of housing as a loss of who they used to be; show them how they keep their interests, their memories and mementos.

Attention all veterans! Have you heard about the changes in Aid and Attendance Pension Benefits?
October 18th, the V.A. is starting a 36 month "look back" on gifts. This will affect the eligibility for The Aid & Attendance Pension Benefit. It has been a lifeline to afford the Long Term Care they need. The V.A. is also changing the asset limit (the amount they family can hold and still qualify) to $123,000. If the veteran still lives in the house; it's not counted toward assets. If they are planning to sell the house, the money from the sale could be counted. However, with proper strategies, they might still be able to qualify. Some veterans can no longer live in the same house (too many stairs, too far from care) If a veteran is planning on selling the house, please contact the Veteran's Financial immediately: 1-800-835-1541.
I Forgot To Tell The Doctor
One of my patients recently complained. I asked her what her doctor said. She told me she had forgotten to tell her doctor. She told me that she had become used to the problem and "accepted" it. Many senior-related articles advise writing down symptoms and questions before visiting the doctor. Good advice; as far as it goes. It's the stuff that falls off the radar that could be the most important. The doctor needs information from the patient or the patient's advocate. That information is the basis to decide which questions/tests to pursue.
What kind of information doesn't get to the doctor?
Please Complain!
Age is a stage of life, not a diagnosis. Sadly, some seniors think is a diagnosis. Seniors may accept pain or changes in their bodies as "just getting old". Pain is a symptom. It's our body's way of telling us (at any age) that something isn't working. Please take your senior's complaints seriously, even if all they say is; "I don't feel good." That complaint is a place to start. Repeated complaints indicate a persistent problem. I use three points to examine complaints: frequency, intensity, and duration. How often do they complain? How long have they complained? Do they report things are worse or better than earlier? Doctors analyze these kinds of information to help them decide what questions to ask next. Please complain; it's helpful.
Some seniors believe they shouldn't complain. You may need to explain to them that this is a report on their health rather than an annoyance. Some seniors complain without words. Does the face contort? Does the voice tighten? Do they seem more irritable at certain times of the day? Something's going on. Ask them to please complain to you out loud.
Earlier this year I knew something was "off" within me. I went to the doctor but the lab tests were inclusive. Nevertheless, I persisted. I tracked what I felt and when. I brought this information back to the doctor and insisted on considering other options. Eventually my pattern was clear enough to prompt the doctor to ask other questions. I received a new medication and it worked! I complained, but really I was advocating for myself. Some seniors cannot self-advocate. That's why caregivers are so important. Please persist if the first treatment doesn't work. Please complain for them.
By the way; this is a portion of my course; Preparing to Parent Your Parent. Senior Sidekicks can bring this course to your church at a time convenient to you.
Imagine you're sitting quietly in a meeting or religious services; suddenly your heart starts pounding. You feel like your blood is coursing through the veins in your arms and legs. It's bewildering and scary: Why?! There is nothing about this setting that calls for such a reaction. Yet, you have this reaction. It is important that caregivers understand what leads to this reaction and what they can do about it.
It's a "fight or flight response gone wrong. It developed when we had to run away from Saber Tooth Tigers. Our ancestors were successful, that's why we're here. Those ancestors passed down to us their methods of coping with their world. Our modern world doesn't have the same kinds of stressors, especially for caregivers. Our stressors are less clearly defined And they last longer. Our stressors change shape; one minute we're dealing with the house-the spouse-the kids-and-the job. Then there's a crisis and we're caregivers for Mom! From that point forward, our caregiving increases but with no way to know when the need will become greater or how long caregiving will last.
Our bodies respond as our ancestors' once did; we produce Cortisol to rise to this crisis. The process goes like this: Stress causes the Hypothalamus to secrete. That triggers the Pituitary Gland to secrete. The Adrenal gland secretes Cortisol. This process has several names: HPA Axis, HPA Cascade or Syndrome X, or AKA Insulin Resistive Syndrome. (Wouldn't it be helpful if we could all agree on one name?) It's not the crisis that's the problem. It's the crisis that doesn't end that creates bad effects on caregivers.
The effects show up in different ways. Cortisol encourages promotes fat deposits in the outer layer of the body, especially the waist. Some caregivers gain weight. We can measure this effect by doing a BMI (Body Mass Index). Other caregivers have different conditions; heart disease, Type-2 Diabetes and Stroke. We can measure Cholesterol levels through a C-Reactive Protein lab test. We can also do a cheek swab to check Cortisol level. However, how many doctors don't even ask patients if they are caregivers. The tests are there but they are not used to evaluate identified caregivers at this time on a general basis. You need to ask for them.
When our bodies rise to meet a crisis: they must also let down. Even Saber Tooth Tigers would give chase and then give up. The caregiver's duties do not end the same way. In fact, they do not "end" unless we place some "ending points" into the caregiver's life. That is the role of self care, to provide end points such as respite and small moments. That's why it's necessary to spread the caregiving load so it doesn't fall on one person. That is why we need to enlist family to give caregivers this kind of support. Otherwise, the caregiver can be sitting quietly in religious services and the Cortisol response "alarms" for no exterior reason. We need to advocate for caregivers to be recognized in the medical arena. Learn more by taking our course; Preparing to Parent Your Parent.
Caring for Yourself: How? Part Two
When someone advises you to, "take care of yourself"; that doesn't explain how. Elder caregiving is so new that some methods are still under development. However, we know some things that work and some to avoid. Self care does not mean a day at the spa. For many caregivers such a day would be out of reach financially or out of time to devote to a spa. Therefore, plan to care for yourself in moments, not hours. Think about your life like your heart; it beats all the time. Actually your heart takes a tiny rest between each beat that allows it keep going. When you care for yourself in moments, you pause and continue.
Try these ideas. Put up a sign saying, I NEED A MOMENT, to remind yourself to pause. Put up other signs family can see to remind them that you might need a moment before you can respond to their requests. Is the person in need bleeding or on fire? If the answer is no, then it's OK for you to take a moment. It's OK to train your family to allow you to do so. It's OK for you to ignore repeated pleas for your attention (for a moment). Training takes time but you're worth it.
What do you do in that moment? Be sure you are safe. If you're up on a ladder, get down first. Focus on something blank, like a wall or the ceiling. Breathe, deeply, through your nose, hold and count to 3 or 4. Let your breath out through your mouth but slowly; 1-2-3-4. Now, if you can afford the time, try looking at something peaceful; out a window, at a picture, or at some memento that is meaningful to you. Breathe again the same way.
Many caregivers respond with; "I don't have time to …" You're right, time is at a premium. Most caregivers find themselves in that role at the same point they also have the house-the spouse-the kids-the job-the pets and MOM! You have a lot on your plate. Sometimes caregivers believe they can wait until they have time. By waiting until later, the damage from lack of self care will have done its worst. Undoing damage is much harder. The best intervention is prevention. Prevention comes in bits of time you claim now.
Suppose you actually have a whole hour to yourself. It's a gift! Ask yourself, "What refreshes me?" Notice I didn't say what can I eat nor where can I sit down? Some caregivers eat to cope with stress. We need nourishment but not that way. Rhythmic movement, like walking, can help us feel less worn and is surprisingly refreshing. If you can't go far; walk around the house or around the block. If you live in an apartment building, walk in the hall. "Go get the mail", that errand will buy you a few minutes. Try to set a self care routine just as you have set other routines with child care or at work. Routines help us get things done without doing us in.
Some things to avoid include sugar and alcohol. The stress hormone, Cortisol, takes sugar and converts it into weight around your middle. Sugar may not be sweet; baked goods convert to sugar. As part of a balanced meal they're fine; as a snack, not so much. Large amounts of food can have a numbing effect; like a Thanksgiving dinner. When we feel numb, our minds seem to turn off. When you see you have time and turn to the refrigerator; ask yourself why are you eating? In a similar way, alcohol can create a numb feeling. We believe we're relaxed but a caregiver's immune system is more vulnerable and needs extra protection that alcohol doesn't provide. Alcohol is also a depressant, which won't help caregivers.
So how does one "turn off" the constant "list-making" that goes on in the caregiver's mind? Try other things. Try relaxing teas like Passion Flower, Elder Flower or Chamomile. Try playing some relaxing music that's meaningful to you. Try a rhythmic movement "dance" (try it with your partner). Try a hot shower or better, a hot bath. Try placing essential oil of lavender in your bedroom. All of these set the stage for relaxation. Develop your own mediation or routine to think about at bed time instead of a to-do list. There are also tapes available. So self care comes in moments you claim as your own. To learn more ways to cope, take our course: Preparing to Parent Your Parent.

Arthur Roger first set up his gallery in 1978 and quickly became a staple on New Orleans' flourishing contemporary arts scene. In 1988, Arthur Roger Gallery relocated to its current space designed by celebrated architect and urban designer Wellington Reiter and, during the 1990s, hosted solo exhibitions by renowned contemporary artists including painter, sculptor and printmaker Charles Arnoldi and photographer Herb Ritts. Arthur Roger curated the award-winning Katrina: Catastrophe and Catharsis touring exhibition in 2006, which featured local and national artists' responses to the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Among the artists currently represented by the gallery are glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, stylised photography duo Anderson & Low and the internationally acclaimed kinetic sculptural artist Lin Emery.

Capital works as a bulwark against losses and affords protection for depositors during periods of economic trouble for the bank. Therefore, when it comes to measuring an an institution's financial stability, capital is key. From a safety and soundness perspective, more capital is preferred.
Citizens Savings and Loan Association, FSB achieved a score of 30 out of a possible 30 points on our test to measure the adequacy of a bank's capital, better than the national average of 13.13.
One commonly used measure of this buffer is a bank's Tier 1 capital ratio. Citizens Savings and Loan Association, FSB's Tier 1 capital ratio was 64.52 percent, above the 6 percent level considered adequate by regulators, and higher than the national average of 25.65 percent. The higher the capital ratio, the better the bank will be able to weather financial headwinds.
Overall, Citizens Savings and Loan Association, FSB held equity amounting to 19.58 percent of its assets, which exceeded the national average of 12.03 percent.
This test's purpose is to estimate how the bank's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization could be affected by problem assets, such as unpaid loans.
A bank with lots of these types of assets could eventually be required to use capital to absorb losses, cutting down on its buffer of equity. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning interest for the bank, pushing down earnings and elevating the risk of a failure in the future.
On Bankrate's asset quality test, Citizens Savings and Loan Association, FSB scored 40 out of a possible 40 points, exceeding the national average of 37.49 points.
A widely used indicator of asset quality is the percentage of problem assets a bank holds compared to its total assets. As of December 31, 2017, 0.87 percent of Citizens Savings and Loan Association, FSB's loans were noncurrent, meaning they were more than 90 days past due or were in non-accrual status. That's below the national average of 1.01 percent.
Banks keep a reserve to handle problem assets known as an "allowance for loan and lease losses." Comparing how large that reserve is to the total amount of problematic loans can be a useful indicator when evaluating a bank's ability to manage problem assets. Unfortunately, the FDIC did not provide information on Citizens Savings and Loan Association, FSB's loan loss allowance in its most recent filings.
A bank's profitability affects its safety and soundness. Earnings may be retained by the bank, expanding its capital cushion, or be used to address problematic loans, likely making the bank more resilient in tough times. Losses, on the other hand, diminish a bank's ability to do those things.
On Bankrate's earnings test, Citizens Savings and Loan Association, FSB scored 0 out of a possible 30, less than the national average of 15.12.
One widely used way to measure a bank's earnings is return on equity, calculated by dividing net income (profit, basically) by the total amount of equity. Citizens Savings and Loan Association, FSB's most recent annualized quarterly return on equity was -0.43 percent, below the national average of 8.10 percent.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the bank earned net income of $-164,000 on total equity of $37.5 million. The bank experienced an annualized return on average assets, or ROA, of -0.08 percent, below the 1 percent deemed satisfactory in accordance with industry standards and below the average for U.S. banks of 1.00 percent.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

XTRA Lease, the leading provider of over-the-road trailer equipment rental and leasing, and Telular, the leader in IoT Telematics solutions, today announced that XTRA Lease is installing the SkyBitz GXT5000 solar-powered fleet management system on over 50,000 of its over-the-road dry vans and reefers, including approximately 9,000 new trailers purchased this year. The GXT5000 series operates on the 3G/4G and LTE cellular networks and is ideal for operations that require near real-time reporting on the status of trailers. The trailer tracking solution, powered by SkyBitz, helps improve asset allocation and enhances logistics and security for XTRA Lease customers."We're excited about this latest leap forward in trailer tracking, which we make available to all customers to help them better manage their rental and lease trailers," said Bill Franz, President and CEO of XTRA Lease. "One of the most important services we can deliver to fleets is the ability to identify dormant and under-utilized rental trailers. That way, fleet managers can target low-use trailers and return them to XTRA Lease or deploy them elsewhere in their operation. Our new trailer tracking dashboard takes this concept to a new level. "We're also excited about the improved battery performance achieved with the solar-powered SkyBitz product," Franz added. "Customers require outstanding battery performance. In fact, we believe today trailer tracking without solar power is like spaghetti without meatballs."XTRA Lease and SkyBitz have also collaborated to create a new web-based portal that delivers the critical trailer tracking data needed by fleet managers to better manage their rental and leasing fleets.

While Sundar Pichai settles into his new roles that have been given to him by Google CEO Larry Page, Andy Rubin, the well known co-founder of Android, which Pichai has been running for a while now, has decided to leave Google in pursuit of starting up a hardware technology incubator. The Wall Street Journal reports that Rubin will be leaving the search company and his position overseeing robotics outside of Google's X lab. Right now there isn't a whole lot of detail as to the exact specifics about Rubin's decision to venture out onto his own path as the story is still developing.
James Kuffner, who is a current research scientist with Google will be taking over Rubin's roles, while Rubin sets out to go his own direction. Android has come a long way since it began as Rubin's project, but whatever he ends up doing going forward it will more than likely be something exciting. As exciting as Android? Who knows, as we have no idea what his plans are. Reports about Rubin's departure have apparently been confirmed by Google with Page stating that he wishes Rubin the best on whatever he has planned next. He further went on to say that Rubin created something truly remarkable with Android and we're certainly inclined to agree.
The exit from Google by Rubin comes as we're about to see a release of some of the most exciting milestones in Android, with the launch of the new Nexus 6 and the Nexus 9, and Android next version of software, Android 5.0 Lollipop. Today's Android may not be quite the same as the Android we know from when Rubin sold Android Inc. to Google years ago, but that is only on the surface, as deep down it's still very much the Android it has always been, with a deep tie to open sourced creativity and innovative technology to enrich the way we use our smartphones. With Andy Rubin now gone, and Sundar Pichai completely at the Android helm, we're eager to see where things go and how whatever Rubin does in the future might play into the Android ecosystem. What are your thoughts on Andy Rubin leaving?

- May have perineural invasion
- No extensive necrosis and very low mitotic activity
- Unusual feature: foci of high grade / dedifferentiation with large nests and comedonecrosis (Virchows Arch 2015;466:245)
Microscopic (histologic) images
Cytology description
- Cellular smears; background of eosinophilic, filamentous matrix and mucin
- Sheets and clusters of bland polygonal epithelial cells with patterns ranging from acinar-like structures, papillae and tubuloglandular (Head Neck Pathol 2013;7:S30)
- Most tumor cells have abundant small cytoplasmic vacuoles, some containing mucin; others will have a finely eosinophilic granular cytoplasm
- Dispersed, isolated cells with a "histiocyte-like" appearance
- Nuclei are uniform, small, round, eccentrically located, with small nucleoli
Cytology images
Positive stains
- Cytokeratins: CK7, CK8, CK18, CK19, AE1 / AE3, CAM 5.2
- S100, STAT5a (strong, diffuse), GCDFP-15 (most cases) (Head Neck Pathol 2013;7:S30)
- Tumor cells and eosinophilic material will stain for mammaglobin
- With appropriate morphology, the positivity of both S100 and mammaglobin are strongly indicative of MASC (Head Neck Pathol 2015;9:85)
- However, these two stains alone are not entirely specific (Hum Pathol 2013;44:2501, Hum Pathol 2013;44:1982)
- Eosinophilic secretory material stains for PAS / PASD and Alcian blue
Molecular / cytogenetics description
- t(12;15)(q13;q25) translocation, a fusion of the ETV6 and NTRK3 gene (also identified in secretory breast carcinoma, infantile fibrosarcoma and acute myelogenous leukaemias)
- Other ETV6 translocation partner (ETV6-X fusion) (Am J Surg Pathol 2015;39:602)
