Sport Physicals
2019-20 Sport Physical Information:
All student-athletes must complete a physical examination and corresponding PIAA CIPPE paperwork in order to be able to participate on any athletic team. Per PIAA rules, this physical exam MUST be performed or certified after June 1, 2019 – NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE TO THIS DATE. All athletes that wish to participate in more than one season must complete Section 7 of the CIPPE form (see CIPPE Section 7 link below) to be re-certified for subsequent seasons.
If a student-athlete is injured and seeks medical attention during a season they must have Section 8 of the CIPPE form (see CIPPE Section 8 link below) completed by the attending physician before they can participate in a subsequent season. It is recommended that you have Section 8 filled out at the time your student is cleared by the physician so you will not have to return and have the form filled out at a later date.
The school district will sponsor sport physicals once a year, which will be held on Monday, June 3rd from 6:00PM-9:00PM. All student athletes (Fall, Winter & Spring) are invited and encouraged to attend the school physicals. Physical packets will be handed out when students sign up for a Fall sport during lunch periods on May 2nd and May 3rd. Any student-athlete who does not plan on doing a Fall sport but does plan on doing a Winter or Spring sport should pick up a physical packet during the Fall signups or extra physical packets can be picked up in the Athletic Office or Middle School Office. The cost for the school sport physical is $5 (if pre-registered - directions on how to pre-register is on the physical packet cover letter and can be found linked below) or $20 (walk-ins on the day of the sport physicals) and checks should be made payable to: Oley Valley School District. All students who pre-register will be given a specific report time for the school physicals. All walk-ins on the day of the physicals should report at 8:00PM. If you need a referral to obtain a physical because you are unable to attend the school physical or you have any questions about these requirements please call the Athletic Office at 610-987-4111 Ex. 2. WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE ALL STUDENT-ATHLETES TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL-SPONSORED PHYSICALS SO THAT THERE IS NO DELAY IN CLEARING A STUDENT FOR PARTICIPATION IN A FALL, WINTER OR SPRING SPORT.
*Please make sure the entire CIPPE booklet is completely filled out prior to showing up for the physical exam and all necessary signatures are completed.
**If completing the sports physical with your primary care physician, you must submit the completed packet before the start of each season. Students will not be cleared to start participation until 24 hours after the completed physical packet is submitted to the Athletic Office. Due dates for completed CIPPE packets and/or recertification forms each season are:
Fall - Thursday, August 1st
Winter - Friday, November 8th
Spring - Friday, February 21st

Medical: CEIT Biomedical Engineering - Precise implants for cranial, jaw, and facial bones using Additive Manufacturing
Slovakian Healthcare Pioneer CEIT Biomedical Engineering, s.r.o. Relies on EOS Technology for Cranial Implants
Cranial implants are generally only necessary when patients have suffered accidents or serious illness. The attending doctors face a major task with each procedure: there is no room for error while working on an open skullcap, and doctors must also ensure that, following the procedure, the patient is able to live a life free of discomfort. This makes it all the more important that suitable implants are used. To put it simply: an exact fit of the implant is a prerequisite to ensure the procedure will be successful in the long term. Slovakian company CEIT Biomedical Engineering, s.r.o. relies on EOS technology in providing doctors with bone replacement material for their patients as quickly as possible.
The basics of medical implant manufacture were, until now, control technology, the relevant machine-tools, and often manual work carried out during the operation itself. Yet as in other areas these technologies led to certain problems. Despite the relatively fine control offered by CNC machines, their design limitations mean that it was simply impossible to manufacture certain shapes. In addition, the process is relatively drawn out and expensive, particularly in the manufacture of custom-made parts. Because of this, it is not ideally suited to the production of parts designed to reside within the human body.
The team at the Slovakian company CEIT Biomedical Engineering, s.r.o. was well aware of these issues. CEIT is a spin-off company of the Technical University of Košice (TUKE), and was created for the purpose of promoting Additive Manufacturing in the medical sector. "As a company with close links to the university we were familiar with the technology. We wanted to explore its potential for implantology and at the same time develop solutions for patients which were both helpful and economical," explains Assoc. Prof. Radovan Hudak, PhD, Managing Director of CEIT.
The aim and the challenge were thereby clearly defined: how can Additive Manufacturing contribute towards the manufacture of a custom-made perfectly fitting cranial implant for surgery? It was necessary to explore the limits of the technology and its potential application as well as discovering the optimum process and finding a suitable material. Precision, reproducibility and surface-quality were all high up the list of specifications, along with a production process that was as free as possible from production errors. The main aim was then to acquire state certification for cranial, jaw, and facial bone implants.
Following intensive research, Hudak's CEIT team decided on EOS as its technology provider, while opting for a titanium alloy as the starting material: "We took a year to explore the market and to analyse what was available," confirms Hudak, describing his detailed search for the right solution. "EOS and its EOSINT M 280 convinced us by meeting the core criteria, such as experience, market success and penetration as well as offering the complete package. In addition, a number of clients confirmed their satisfaction with the system itself."
The decision paved the way for meeting the required technological criteria – hence the flaws in the CNC area: on the one hand, it enabled manufacture of extremely thin walls with the necessary uneven surface geometries. In addition, the CEIT team was now able to introduce cavities to the implants – such as shapes comprising complex hollows or canals. Lattice structures became a key element in the scope of possibilities.
For the actual manufacturing process of the first implants, all that was needed was a suitable patient and their medical records. In this specific case, the task was to produce a piece of the cranium approximately 15 cm in size from the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V – a biocompatible standard alloy in medical technology with excellent mechanical characteristics. To achieve this, the team used the results of the computed tomography examination, where all the necessary contouring information is recorded in detail. The data transformation to a CAD program and the design and manufacture of the implant all took place at CEIT.
The first success was at the technological level: CEIT was able to successfully implement the production process for both the series production of standard implants and the production of one-off, custom implants. The team was also able to produce the desired lattice structures by means of Additive Manufacturing. The first patient-specific manufactured implant weighed just 63 g, with a thickness of only 1.5 mm. A feature of the implant was that the team successfully created the previously mentioned hollow structure, enabling the integration of micro-sensors for the recording of medical data inside the implant.
Even greater success for the company followed with the registration of the implant for cranial, facial and jaw applications with the Slovakian State Institute for Medicinal Control (SIDC). This resulted in official EU-wide approval. Negotiations with the largest national insurers over cost coverage also proved successful. One reason for this is the fact that the sales price is in line with the market. The implant benefits from higher precision contouring and a lower error rate in production.
So company director Assoc. Prof. PhD Radovan Hudak is able to draw a positive conclusion: "We were able to meet all of our challenges and achieve our goals. The great thing about it is that we can give people a higher quality of life thanks to the precision fit of the implants. The accurate contouring has a positive effect on recovery, long-term compatibility and the final visual result. When the wound has healed the exact insertion of implant makes the evidence of the procedure far less noticeable. This aids the psyche of the individual significantly." Additive Manufacturing as support for both body and soul – a truly innovative technological masterpiece.

Keeping Step With Financially Safeguarding Your Kids After Divorce
First, I learned that bipolar disorder is hereditary: a person may inherit the event or inherit it in part, the fullest cycling or a smaller cycling, a treadmill may get either the manic side or the depressed mentoring. It was a classic revelation. It explained good about me, and my brothers and sisters. Knowing this, we have a significantly better chance attempting to control it.
I knew that I did support from family and If you cherished this article and you also would like to acquire more info about how to file divorce in virginia nicely visit our own internet site. friends so also knew that easily was in vicinity of my husband, I could hardly resist making a pest of myself. Discover went home to see my nuclear family (which was hundreds of miles from these locations.) This was hard at first but it forced me to back off a modest and it meant i was with and backed up by people who loved and supported our company. This eventually improved my attitude and outlook and little by little, this helped to raise things with my husband, who became interested again when I wasn't so accessible.
Suddenly, one person's irritation about leaving towels scattered around snowballs into a requirement for separation. These couples end up lashing out at eath other and painting a harsher picture of its relationship than what it really looks for instance.
Another ingredient to include this mix is being congenial. Required need to agree with everything but you shouldn't be argumentative, either. Being agreeable means allowing others to own their opinion without it affecting yours. Arguing your point all of the time creates the partner feel like they can not do or say the right thing. That's hardly conducive while you don't want divorce the particular picture.
Territorial Defense: This is usually a identified as duty of this pet dog. Most regularly dogs believe your territory since their very own territory which casue to be able to guards the site. When a distinct individual as well as animal enters into an location, your dog views them as a threat to his territory that typically leads to excessive shouting. When the threat gets closer, the barking typically gets louder. Your dog will appear alert and even show aggressive actions throughout this associated with barking. Is offering almost considered one of the most fundamental cause behind too much barking.
In these ancient teachings it was assumed that in everything there would be a mind-body net connection. There is no separation between the problems among the body as well as the emotions for this mind. "As above, so below," may be taught each major religion and philosophy from a sluggish start time. If you would like conditions a person to change, first they must change as your intended purpose.
The day that letter arrived was the day his angel finally found and redeemed him. His friend's last act unlocked all the sorrow, anger, hurt, and distress this man had locked up inside the actual began to finally forgive those who he felt had wronged him as well as could for you to forgive very little.
A pearl pendant and for that matter any pendant, rests around the heart; the reason is because cardiovascular system symbolizes love and a pendant should be its postponement. Of all the pearl jewelry, women are extremely possessive about rings and pendants. Both symbolize great human virtues.
We all can easily relate to what we know about Bill Barriers. There are those who don't bode well with how he built his business enterprise. Many don't hold it as something deserve note since he began a wealthy family. Not withstanding, materials he designed will be generating income for several generations. If he put his mind to it, he couldn't give everything away. His resources in order to create income.
Make Love. This goes along with spending time together, but a healthy sex life is very essential in a marriage. Too often couples allow stress and lack of sleep to interfere inside love making and that is a big mistake. Regular physical contact with your spouse will deepen your associated with intimacy. Attempt avoid evening excuses gaining excited along the possibility of sex exactly like. Send a suggestive text while at work; reminisce about the before you made love; or get home early and develop an ambiance (even lighting just one candle can set the mood). You'll find that products and solutions make time for sex, you will do time every single other various other areas you can make.
It is understandable if ever the children would want to keep seeing your spouse after divorce. Blood relations can never end. And if they want to express it, accomplished. Talk to them and these understand why you had a single choice.
You can be assured, you aren't going to being attractive when you're complaining. Have you noticed if nagging and complaining might experienced something related the erosion of your partner's affection and dedication to your marriage?
We are very mindful that the demand for energy never disappears completely. The demand for oil shifted with the appearance of vehicles before we consumed all known associated with this efforts. The need for oil and its by-products have not waned ever since then. Who had control of this resources away from this country, however, has shifted. Modifications to the demands for oil, in it's forms, is a constant your past economic announcement.

Women experience menopause in different ways. This is because our bodies are unique, like in giving birth, where every labour is different, so no two women experience menopause the same way. Some women have very few symptoms while others may have discomforts which interfere with their daily activities.
Irregular Periods
This is normally the first sign of a woman approaching menopause. The periods can be inconsistent in length or occurrence, or unusually heavy or light in flow. Nonetheless, women may still conceive during this period, thus it is advised that women continue using contraceptive for at least a year after period cessation.
Hot Flushes
Hot flushes are a common menopausal symptom that causes uncomfortable body heat coupled with headaches, palpitations or dizziness. They usually start as a feeling of pressure in the head followed by a wave of heat passing over the body and heavy sweating. These episodes which usually last for a few minutes can be embarrassing but never dangerous. Hot flushes can occur at any time but may be triggered by hot drinks, alcohol, warm room temperatures or stressful situations.
Night Sweats
Night sweats are hot flushes that occur during the night and because of the frequency, they often lead to poor sleep and fatigue the next day.
Sleep Disturbance
Psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety may consequent in poor sleep. In addition to that, sleep is likely to be interrupted by night sweats and hot flushes which can occur any time and even in deep sleep.
Mood Swings
Mood changes are one of the common psychological changes during menopause. These may be due to confusion, memory loss or lack of concentration. These factors further distress women and may lead to depression. Depression here refers to the state of overwhelming inability to control or feeling of loss of oneself. Anxiety, weepiness, irritability, frustration, moodiness or depression is some of the common emotional effects that a woman feels while approaching menopause.
Aches and Pains
The decrease in estrogen level also causes the loss of muscle strength. Emotional stress and tension can also cause various aches. The back and neck are the common areas where women in the menopausal stage suffer from aches. The stress and tension women experience may also contribute to headaches.
Vaginal and Urinary Problems
Estrogen plays a major role in maintaining the function of a woman's vagina and urinary tract. Hence, during menopause, the loss of estrogen will also lead to problems such as the following:
Urinary Incontinence
As the tissues around the urethra (opening for urine) become thinner and weaker; women in the menopausal years may experience involuntary leakage of urine; also known as incontinence. These include stress incontinence (e.g. leaking urine when coughing) and urge incontinence (leaking on the way to the toilet). Women may also experience problems such as not being able to hold their bladder or even an increase in frequency of urination.
Vaginal Itch and Discomfort
The lack of estrogen causes vaginal thinning and dryness. This is mainly due to the decreasing number of small glands that produce lubricating mucus that keeps the vagina moist. The surrounding tissues weaken and shrink and in the long run, it will result in the vagina becoming shorter, less elastic, drier, and it may even cause the genital skin to look paler. Inflammation may occur as a result of the changes around the vagina and women may encounter pain during sexual intercourse consequently.
Women are advised to consult a doctor if the pain continues as those in the menopausal age are more vulnerable to infection. The infected vagina will also secret a smelly, unpleasant vaginal discharge.
Decrease in Libido
Women may start to experience discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse, causing a loss in sexual desire. This pain is due to the vagina being smaller and drier. As the vagina becomes less elastic, it is not surprising that women find sexual intercourse painful. The tendency of the vagina being sore makes this even worse. Therefore, the decrease in libido can be so significant in some of these women that they actually find sex repulsive.
Skin and Hair Changes
After menopause, the skin and hair tend to become thinner and drier. These changes are caused by an estrogen-related loss of collagen. Some women may even experience an increased growth of facial hair.

It's a mild Halloween night in Southern California and I'm holed up in my apartment. The desk lamp provides enough light to see the keyboard but no more. I do not need illumination tonight, I need courage. This is not the usual essay. There is no funny twist, no cheery moral, nothing about this is written to make you smile. But if you do, fear not. It's good to laugh at the things that frighten us. I'm grinning now because I don't know exactly what's coming next. You see, the story I'm about to tell you tonight has never been written down. Not by me, not by anyone else. I've kept this experience close for fear of how you might look at me once you know the things I've seen.
Over a decade ago, when I was 16, I almost died in the hospital. Heavily sedated and in a medically induced coma, my body fought to live. It took me nearly two months to get out and several more before I could return to the world. But, this is not the story of how I got sick or how I got better.
Unconscious, dying in a hospital bed, this is the story of what happened to me between our world and the next.
It is as real to me now as it was then.
A dream one cannot wake up from becomes not a dream at all.
You have been warned.
The journey begins aboard a cruise ship docked in a wide, blue river. We gather on the deck, my family, my friends and I to wave goodbye to those on shore. The floorboards remind me of a gymnasium, they have a certain squeak and I bristle at the obnoxious noise people make with their sneakers. I'm told the sounds will dissipate once we get to the ocean, but I don't believe them. The ocean is big but squeaks don't go away, I insist. My protests are ignored. The sun sets behind the ship, casting long shadows across the bow. My father and I stand at the railing. I wear a life jacket because I can't swim. We don't talk much, content to stare at the water. I look to the riverbank and see the flat, muddy land pockmarked with uniform holes, like dimples on a golf ball. There's a few brown tents being set up in the distance. I ask my father what's going on. He doesn't know. I want to find out. My father tells me to wait. The ship will get there, he says. I close my eyes.
When I open my eyes, I'm sitting in one of the holes with my father. The consistent curve of the rim and cavity makes the whole thing feel like a factory-created foxhole. No longer wearing life jackets, my father and I are clad in brown loincloths and nothing else. It's okay if you want to laugh at that image, I do, but what comes next may damper your mirth. A haggard woman ambles into our foxhole. She carries a bright, silver knife. She's here to make us ready. I can't look away from the knife, but when she turns around, I try to climb out of the foxhole. The muddy sides have turned to a yellowish brown slime. I glimpse beyond our hole. The others have brown tents and are filled with people dressed like us only they are covered in bleeding scars. The purpose for the bright, silver knife becomes clear. Before I can warn my father, the haggard woman is on me, holding my leg down, exposing my thigh. With a quick swipe, the tip of her shiny blade draws a bleeding line across my skin. It hurts, but not as much as you'd think. The bleeding is the worst part. I worry it won't stop. I yell for her to leave, I insist this is all a dream and I should wake up. I stare at my bleeding thigh. I do not wake up. When I regain my composure, the woman is gone. My father is gone. All the other people are gone. Only I remain, with my bleeding thigh, alone among the muddy foxholes. From the distance, the land looks like a giant egg-crate mattress.
I don't know how long I stayed there or what I did to get out.
The next thing I remember is standing on the porch of the house I grew up in. It's the Christmas season and there's the annual party going on across the street. My parents are there, but I have another mission to complete before I can join them. There's an old lady in the neighborhood and I need to go to her house to have a sandwich. It's a tradition, I'm told, and even though she's starting to lose it, it will be good for me to go. I set out walking down the moonlit neighborhood streets. When I reach the white, stone bridge over the creek near the park, the one where the walking trail goes underneath, I see two children mixing buckets of plaster of Paris. These children look like street urchins imported from a Dickens novel, although I find their clothes not unusual. What frightens me about the street kids isn't their poverty but the way they mix the plaster, with experience. I ask them what they're doing, feeling responsible. They tell me they're waiting for the rain. Why the rain? They look at me as if this is a dumb question. The dogs will come, they reply. Dogs? Yes. Dogs. One of the urchins smears the plaster on the inner wall under the bridge. We will catch them, they say. I see their eyes and their eyes are not children's eyes. I leave them to their grim work.
Continuing on my way, I come across a small, eclectic group of people I know. Several push strollers. A blonde girl from school invites me to walk with them. I decline. I have to go eat my sandwich. Before we part, I warn them about the bridge. Something is not right.
The old woman's house, the one who makes the sandwich, is a small two-story duplex. Immediately upon entering, I'm hit with a stifling warmth, the wafting smell of vegetable soup and ointment. Her decor is pack-rat and overstuffed with junk. Navigating to the TV room isn't easy, especially when the only light is from the glowing screen. There is a couch and its upholstery looks like crusty nacho cheese. A person could collapse here and never be found again. The old woman sits on the couch. I never see her face. I stand behind the couch. There is a sandwich in my hand and I take a bite. It's mostly white bread, there's very little filling. I take another bite and another. I can finish this quick, I think, and then head back to the party. Halfway through the meal, I realize I can't swallow. The bread halves of the sandwich fall away to reveal the filling is nothing more than canvas with buttons and yarn latch-hooked on. I yank it out of my mouth, but like a clown's handkerchief, it just keeps coming. I panic, I'm choking and this old woman is doing nothing. I stumble for the door, but it's too far. A hand grabs from behind, pulls me up. It's the old woman's nurse. She takes a vacuum nozzle and hoovers out my throat. I thank her and tell her I should go. She agrees, but makes me promise not to say a word about this incident. I nod.
Outside once again, I feel the air has gotten colder. There's a mist. It has rained since I was inside the house.
Walking back to the party, I know I'm going to pass by the bridge again, so I steel my nerves to deal with the children. The park trail slopes downward and soon I am back under the bridge. The children are not in sight. Along the freshly plastered walls, like a hunter's mounted trophies, are the dogs. The children's vile plan becomes clear to me now. When the rains come, the creek floods, washing all the dogs left outside under the bridge where they get caught in the fresh plaster. They make no sound. The poor creatures are dying in silence plastered against the wall. I cannot bear this and try to pull one off but succeed in only getting my arm stuck to the wall. From the other side of the bridge, the children appear. I watch in spellbound horror as they take butcher's cleavers and sever the limbs of their prey. I struggle to free myself, the chipping plaster crumbles making a noise and catching the attention of the children. I cannot get my shirt unstuck. They look at me. In their eyes I realize they do not see me as one of them, but as another fresh body stuck to their hideous wall. They make no hurry to get to me, they've never had something escape before. I get my arm loose, strip off my shirt, and without looking back, I run.
Behind me I can hear them chasing, their cleavers jangling on their belt. I run until I cannot hear them anymore. Whether they still chase me, I do not know, but I never see them again.
Stumbling down stone stairs in my flight from the murderous urchins, I finally stop at the back of a large passage beneath the city. The bricks form an arch overhead. The whole places feels older than it looks, as if this was the inspiration for ancient Roman architecture instead of the other way around. I huddle behind some crates in the shadows feeling very secure in my invisibility. There are others here, in the subterranean tunnel. They wear hooded cloaks and gather in small groups. I get the sense they're waiting for something and so I wait with them. Not much longer, I hear one whisper to another. He's coming they say. I shiver in my shadowy corner. He's coming. The whisper becomes a chant, an expectation of arrival hastened by the repeated words. He's coming, they say. He's coming. I want to know who, but already my stomach churns as if my body knows something my head does not. He's coming. Who's coming? I almost ask, but I see on the opposite end, matching shadows descending stairs. He's coming. I peer above the crate, my unseen-ness protected by the attention facing forward. He's coming. I must know who. He's coming. The shadows grow larger and I see three figures descending the far stairs. On the left and the right, they appear to be human, I can see their feet, but the figure in the middle I can't make out. He's coming. I lean further to see farther, exposing my position to the room (He's coming.), but they are too entranced with the Being on the stairs. He's here! The final whispered cry hushes the room. In the next moment, I know I am caught. He sees me. His face I cannot remember. My guts seize up and I am chilled from the inside out. Maybe Hell isn't the furnace we think.
I shut my eyes.
I see myself in bed.
Men in uniform put a box around me. They load me into the back of a delivery truck. I watch them drive away, floating above the road.
I drift upwards.
Higher and higher above the land, above the clouds, above the world I soar. From outer space, I look back down on Earth. I want to go farther, I think.
And so I do.
Like zooming out of a close up picture, the solar system, the galaxy and even the universe fall away from me. Alone in the blackness of existence, I come to understand that everything is a sphere. Go back far enough, and everything looks like a sphere. It's how, I decide, we interpret reality, as a series of spheres among other spheres. And since we know other shapes exist, then this reality must be permeable. We can't break it, but we can control it. We can be masters of our own fate. I didn't want to be out here, alone. I want to be back on Earth, back with my people, but the terrors that chased me here won't allow it. This makes me mad. Really really mad. My rage seethes, crackles, and bursts from my back in the form of two widespread wings of golden energy. A golden sphere of the same energy explodes from my heart encompassing my body. Within this sphere, no harm can come to me or anyone else. Outside this sphere, the wilds of an uncaring universe. I am not done yet. I enrage this golden sphere to expand bigger and bigger. It swallows up the nearby systems, the galaxies, all the way until it reaches Earth, and Earth too is consumed. I yell, I scream, I unleash my battle-cry, the last battle-cry I may ever wail, at existence itself. I am the universe, and I am nothing.
There's a blinding, white light, and then it is gone.
I am standing in the backyard of the house I grew up in. In the moonlight, I can see four holes in the grass. They form a square, each hole one point of the shape. I stand at the bottom of this array, and I know I must go in one of them. The first hole, the one on the bottom left, has vines coming out of it. The bottom isn't visible, the hole is more of a tunnel or the inside of a root. I know what it means. It's a plant. I go in that hole and I join the plant kingdom. My body would dissolve away in the nectar and I would become the trees. Patient, past the point of caring what happens to those around me, but still able to watch them, to know how they live and die. The next hole, the one on the bottom right, is lined with broken glass, bent nails, and needles. The bottom isn't visible, but when I lean in, I can hear the sounds of my friends in the cafeteria. The warm smell of chicken nugget day hits my nose. I want to jump in. The cutting edges keep me at bay. I walk over to the third hole, the one on the upper right. It's quiet and empty and I know there is no bottom. The sides of the hole fall straight down into a blackness from which no light will ever return. It's cold- the cold of an early Spring day that you don't mind so much if you don't think about it. There's a sense of peace to this hole. No beginning. No ending. I feel myself drawn towards its endless depths. I ache, I am tired. I feel myself lean forward.
But this is not what I want.
The finality frightens me, shakes me out of my stupor. No. I didn't come all this way to stop now. I remember the bright, silver knife cutting my thigh, and I am filled with grit. Damn the blood. Damn the pain. I don't bother looking into the last hole. It remains unknown to me. I leap into the second hole. It hurts exactly as bad as you think.
I can hear my friends.
After three weeks in an induced coma, I wake up in the PICU of my local hospital. I don't know when exactly these events took place, but they are as vivid to me now as they were then. What meaning I take from the experience is my own to keep. What meaning you get is your business. Great hope can come from the darkest places, but so can grand delusions.
Okay, I have a confession. There is a moral. There is a twist.
When it comes to what happens after we die, I don't have the answers. And neither should you. Everything about my journey is told exactly as I experienced, but for one thing. All of these vignettes are completely true, except one is utterly made up.
November 1st is All Saints' Day. Only the dead know the truth.

According to an ISCA report, agriculture Minister Mahmoud Hojjati stated that areas such as Khuzestan and Mazandaran Provinces farmers can use low-depth wells to deal with the situation for the time being.
Energy Minister Reza Ardakanian said water shortage would negatively impact the spring cultivation of agricultural products.
The head of Mazandaran Agricultural Jihad Organization said on Wednesday that there are serious concerns regarding problems farmers are likely to face during rice planting season, which takes place in late Bahaman and early Esfand, the eleventh and twelfth months of the Iranian calendar respectively.
"Our suggestion is that farmers in the cities of Sari, Miandoroud, Behshahr, Galugah and parts of Juybar and Simorgh avoid rice planting and opt for the cultivation of oilseeds, or fodder instead," he was quoted as saying.
Although water scarcity is one of the biggest environmental challenges facing Iran, inefficient management of the valuable resource is largely to blame for a crisis that has emerged over the years, says Director of Iran Water Industry Federation.
"The revenue earned from the sale and export of many types of crops does not equal the value of water used for their irrigation," Foroughi said recently.
Reportedly, about 92% of the country's water resources are used up by unsustainable and wasteful farming practices.
The country's nearly two-decade struggle with drought, combined with high consumption and waste, has caused renewable water resources to drop under 120 billion cubic meters. However, by some accounts, that figure is closer to 88 bcm.
Located in one of the world's most water-stressed regions, Iran's average precipitation rate has been lower than the global average for at least 10 years. Some 37 million Iranians are said to be living in water-stressed regions.

Do you guys remember a few months back when #MrStealYoGrandmama Came out. Well … He's back… BUT this time he's got Friends! I saw him on FB, AND GIRRLLL it got me thinking Sugar Daddy's Matter TOO dammit!!!
Before you know it me and my BFF are surfing the internet looking at fine grand Daddies. All of a sudden we were hit with sites that set young damsels in distress up with generous wealthy gentlemen with style and open wallets. It got me to thinking about the current state of the dating world. Although Sugar Daddies are nothing new #ElizabethTaylor For example .. though she married most of her Sugar Daddies LET'S JUST BE CLEAR she was a Sugar baby before it had a name #DontShootTheMessenger.
It makes you wonder how pop culture has changed the state of relationships so much so that women are shunned for wanting financial security with their companion; vice versa men are emasculated for being generous with a woman he enjoys spending his time with. It all causes us to walk around not wanting to be LABELED so we make bad relationship decisions and end up in financial peril. IDK I'm just thinking out loud here. Anywho, SeekingSugarDaddies.com has lots of open wallets waiting for a lovely young lady to spend some extra money be exposed to new experiences and live yo best life!!!
These gentlemen certainly have been blessed with style, swag and time has treated them well. Here's a little eye candy for your troubles.
Stay Healthy Happy and Always Loving

The vegetables in the diet food list above that are marked with an asterisk are cruciferous, and they have a very slight effect of reducing iodine, which is used by the thyroid to make hormones. This would probably only occur if you ate cruciferous vegetables exclusively since raw nuts and other foods replace the iodine. To be conservative, if you are consuming a moderate-to-large quantity of cruciferous vegetables every day on your low-carb diet plan, add some sea kelp or dulse to your diet — just a small sprinkle on your food or greens. You will achieve significant fat loss if you have plenty of these on your plate.
Cruciferous Vegetables Definition: A group of veggies that belong to the Cruciferae family and are also considered cool weather vegetables with flowers of four petals, resembling a cross. These vegetables have high vitamin C content and soluble fiber. They also contain phytochemicals and several nutrients.
Animal Proteins
You can also include animal protein foods in the ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting. Depending on your size or body type, consume 3 to 6 ounces of animal protein (eggs, fish, meat, chicken, etc.) with meals. Grass-fed cows are a great source of meat for keto.

Vegetarian Proteins
It is more difficult to find vegetarian proteins for our purpose because vegetables tend to come with carbohydrates. However, the proteins below you can buy in the grocery store and are known for their long-term healthy effects:

People always ask, "How many grams or ounces of fat can I eat?" That's a hard one since you have many variables to consider: bile reserve, digestive strength, age, history of eating fats, liver function, and so on. You will have to test the waters but between 20 and 40 grams is about average. Start out with a small piece of Brie cheese (2 to 3 ounces), a small handful of nuts, or maybe a teaspoon of peanut butter after each meal. But, always eat your fats with the meal, not as a snack, to take advantage of the diet's health benefits.
With the list of ketogenic diet foods I mentioned above, you can narrow down your search for the types of foods to consume for your long-term weight loss program. Just remember the right amounts of fat and protein you have to take in every meal and calculate your net carbs from the total calories to monitor your carbohydrate intake.
Which of the items from the ketogenic diet foods list above is your favorite? Let us know in the comments section below.

Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia Secondary to Daptomycin: A Potentially Fatal Adverse Drug Reaction
1Duke University, Durham, NC
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2011, May 10-13, Dallas, Texas.
Abstract number: 353
Case Presentation:
A 78‐year‐old man with no history of lung disease presents with increasing dyspnea on exertion. Two weeks prior to presentation, the patient underwent endovascular stenting of his left femoral artery that was complicated by a methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) abscess at the surgical site. Therapy with daptomycin and rifampin was initiated. The patient then developed fatigue, nonproductive cough, fevers, and progressive dyspnea. He denied chest pain. On exam, the patient appeared chronically ill and was breathing 40 times per minute with an oxygen saturation of 93% on 4 L of oxygen a minute. Lung examination revealed diffuse crackles and expiratory wheezes in all lung fields. CT of the chest revealed diffuse interstitial infiltrates. He had a white blood cell count of 24,000 × 103/dL with 84% segmented neutrophils and 6% eosinophils. Blood cultures were negative. Daptomycin was discontinued immediately. A bronchoalveolar specimen revealed 147 nucleated cells/mm3 (8% eosinophils). All cultures from the bronchoscopic specimen remained negative. Patient was started on solumedrol 60 mg intravenously every 6 hours. Over the next 4 days, the patient's dyspnea and hypoxemia steadily improved. At discharge the patient was able to ambulate 100 feet on 1 L of supplemental oxygen. One week after discharge, the patient was no longer requiring supplemental oxygen.
Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is a rare cause of severe respiratory illness. It is a diagnosis of exclusion that is defined by the presence of an acute febrile illness, with diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, and hypoxemia. Bronchoscopy reveals eosinophilia in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or an eosinophilic infiltrate on lung biopsy. AEP has rarely been associated with daptomycin exposure, with fewer than 10 cases of daptomycin‐related lung toxicity reported in the literature. To make the diagnosis of daptomycin‐induced AEP, patients should meet the above criteria, have exposure to daptomycin prior to the onset of symptoms, show improvement following cessation of daptomycin, and recurrence of symptoms with rechallenge (although given the severity of disease, rechallenge is not recommended). Notably, peripheral eosinophilia may not be present. Treatment of suspected daptomycin‐induced AEP includes prompt cessation of daptomycin therapy, with concurrent administration of alternative antibiotics until infection is reliably excluded. Steroids have been used, although there is no conclusive data supporting their use.
Given the increasing prevalence of invasive MRSA infections, daptomycin use by hospitalist physicians is likely to increase. It is important for physicians to recognize this relatively rare but severe adverse drug reaction.

text: When it came to Kev and Roxanne's wedding, I think good old James Brown said it best: 'Whoa-oa-oa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now, I feel good, I knew that I would, now – so good, so good, I got you -bum-bum-bum-bum yeeeeeaaaah.' Because that's exactly what this wedding at The Farmhouse in Langebaan was – full-on, flat-out, feel good stuff. Even the weather (which can sometimes be a bit dodge in Langebaan in July) turned on an exceptional performance with a 34 degree Celsius winter's day. And from the moment Rox hit the aisle, the mood was one of laughter, joking, jovial celebration. It wasn't flippant stuff, it was just good, solid happiness. I caught myself chuckling artsandhealth.ie/zovirax/ quite a lot during the service as Kevin and Roxanne added a seriously healthy dose of humour to the proceedings. Rox almost ran away just before the vows, Kevin gave the guests a beady eye when they were asked if anyone objected to them getting married, and so on and so forth. The formals were a laugh a minute and when we eventually got down to the beach there was a lot of banter between us and some of the locals. It was refreshing stuff – as were the speeches later on in the evening which had everyone moving between laughter and tears. Good on you guys – that's what wedding are all about. Here are a few of their photos.

Java Gets Updated for Microsoft Flaw
Page 1 of 1
From the "Have you updated yet?" files:
Sun is out this week with a significant security update for Java SE 6. US-CERT warns that the Java vulnerabilities could potentially enable an attacker to execute arbitrary code or bypass authentication methods.
Technically speaking, the update is labeled update 15 (6u15) and is accompanied by no less than 7 separate Sun security alerts: 263408, 263409, 263428, 263429, 263488, 263489, and 264648.
Perhaps the most significant flaw patched by Sun in the Java update is detailed in alert 264648, which is directly related to the recent out-of-band updates from Microsoft
It's interesting to see how many third-party vendors were affected by the ATL issue. Adobe was also affected by the same issue.
