The Zombie Progression!
It's no longer implausible now. It's happening everywhere, it's rampant everywhere and it's not imperceptible. We need to retain some of the humanly senses to understand it and to think about why it's being so.
They prominently exhibit brutality, but emotionless. They are like programmed entities guided by machines, gadgets and devices. They act on instant impulses taking those to the final realization. Like the professional executioners. Totally devoid of feelings, they demonstrate their skill everywhere, on the streets, in the highways, in the hotels and within four walls of the homes. They seem to indulge in human activities only, but not as humans. The emerging species of the zombies, if you take it as natural you do indeed belong to them.
The programmed beings react immediately to impulses provided in-built by a wide variety of sources. Some of them quarrel in public places; someone, still not programmed and a rarity, comes up and tries to mediate to bring peace. They disperse, but the ire of an unfulfilled impulse remains. So they waylay that unsuspecting person much later and usher in an orgy of violence and killing. All other bystanders in both instances fail to emit any kind of emotion and just watch on. A few bystanders switch on their mobile cameras and take pictures of the bloodied person lying writhing on the ground. Yes, they need those pictures for others of their ilk in all the social spaces available. Who cares a thought for saving the victim!
They drive vehicles guided by the maniacal impulse. At the slightest provocation both parties involved get ready to kill each other. Sometimes they hit someone down and run away guided by the avoid-trouble impulse. The bleeding being sees some hope as pedestrians gather around. However, they get busy with their gadgets and get busier still as the one on the ground slowly bleeds to death. No one thinks about saving a life. The thought process is irrevocably blocked for the impulse-driven entities.
Beggars and the deprived normally act as humans, because most of them do not enjoy access to those impulse providers. One of them one day loses the last ounce of her energy and falls flat on the hard concrete pavement of the busy street resigned to the inevitable end. Beings will be rushing past all around her hardly taking notice, because they are mostly guided by the work and related impulses. Even if somebody notices s/he will shrug it off with 'what can I possibly do' kind of programmed thought. Some award-winning photographer in search of impulsive 'death' takes this opportunity for a few 'precious' photographs. This process may very well be spread over two or three days. Finally the municipal machinery will clear away the human garbage. It does not matter at all if the municipal machinery is being operated by humans only, programmed as they are too.
Sometimes both the predator and bystander types of beings get guided by diverse impulses, the former by perpetrating-excitement impulse and the latter by watching-excitement impulse. In various cases of violent encounters and abductions mostly in public places they get abundant loads of fulfilled impulses. Who cares for the victims, right? The victims always get thrown out in death throes, pushed into the drains or hillsides or land up purely dead with their throats slit. If someone, still left with some human values, takes up the case of a victim like a brave Good Samaritan he or she would most probably end up with the same fate.
Not many of the impulse-driven activities within four walls of the homes come into the public domain. However, the media whose duty it is to report puts out the details in gory glory how the impulsive robbers not only looted the house, but killed all those of the family exhibiting extreme brutality. Who cares for the victims again! The media having done its public duty the impulsive readers get their money's worth too.
Experts say that the brutality demonstrated in all crimes has been increasing alarmingly in India over the last few years. Their studies also reveal the utter lack of human emotions in the criminals.
So far in the endless expanse of space planet earth happens to be the only place where human beings live. The rate at which humans are losing their values and humanity the zombie progression is most likely to engulf mother earth very soon making her unable to bear the burden any longer. The Endgame, indeed? Would anybody 'human' be able to prevent it and make way for better times on our Planet Earth? Hope, undoubtedly, is the most positive human emotion. And the clock ticks on.

The Chinese believe the Lunar New Year is about ushering in luck and fortune, and this year may be particularly prosperous for the country's wealthiest, according to research firm Wealth-X.
The year of the Green Wooden Goat, which kicks off on Thursday, could see Chinese ultra high net worth (UHNW) individuals - those with $30 million in net assets - get even richer.
"The combined net worth of China's UHNW individuals will grow by 5.2 percent, due to a strong performance across all UHNW wealth tiers - creating an additional $80 billion of UHNW wealth in the country," Wealth-X said in a new report on Monday.
In 2014, China's UNHW wealth stood at $1.6 trillion, or roughly 7.3 percent of the country's total wealth.

Meanwhile, the bottom tier of the UHNW group, or those with a net worth between $30 and $49 million, will grow by 8.5 percent, Wealth-X noted, riding on the wave of China's growing middle class boom and increased social mobility.
Some trends that could be observed in the Chinese wealth population this year, according to WealthX, include:
- More charitable attitudes, with Wealth-X expecting a 24 percent increase in the number of private foundations set up by Chinese UHNW individuals, compared with just 5 percent currently.
- Money made in public businesses will outstrip private wealth this year, as co-operation between Chinese stock exchanges translate to an additional $45 billion held in public companies, compared to $20 billion in private firms.
- China's crackdown on excessive luxury spending will dent luxury spending among the rich by 4 percent this year and see more millionaires spend their money abroad to avoid the attention of officials.
- Loosening capital controls will also see more funds invested abroad: "Chinese UHNW individuals will invest on average 5 percent more of their net worth in foreign businesses, amounting to an additional $7 million per individual," Wealth-X said.
- First-tier cities in China - Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou - will continue holding the majority of UNHW money at around 60 percent.
- Lastly, China will become more attractive to global millionaires. The luxury intelligence firm anticipates the number of foreign-born UHNW individuals to increase by 40 percent this year.
Did you know?
UHNW individuals born in the Year of the Goat have an average net worth of $155 million, which is 10 percent more than the global UHNW average, Wealth-X stated. However, they aren't the richest among their zodiac peers, ranking third behind Dragon and Ox UHNW individuals.
"Goats" are known for their determination and dependable personality, Wealth-X said, and they typically work in finance, banking and investment.
More than 8 percent of the global UHNW population was born in the Year of the Goat, making it the fourth most common Zodiac sign in the sector. Currently, half of the world's wealthy "Goats" reside in the United States and 7 percent live in China.

Where to Stay in Cape Town
An insider's guide revealing the best area and accommodation for your family's holiday in Cape Town
Table of Contents
Choosing the best area to stay in Cape Town for your holiday can be tricky if you aren't intimately familiar with South Africa's Mother City.
Fortunately, as local accommodation specialists based in Camps Bay, Nox Rentals can help you with choosing the best place to stay in Cape Town.
The various areas of Cape Town
Cape Town, in the Western Cape province at the southern tip of Africa, consists of various areas, each with their own charm and unique appeal.
Seaside locals include the Atlantic Seaboard, the Deep South, and the Table Bay area, which stretches to the north-west along the West Coast. The Southern and Northern Suburbs are residential areas that are not within walking distance to the beaches.
Other areas that fall outside of the Atlantic Seaboard include the City Bowl, which offers accommodation options at the foot of Table Mountain but further away from the seaside.
Although the Table Bay area has exquisite views of Table Mountain from Milnerton, Table View and Blouberg, it can get too windy here for holidaymakers, still making the Atlantic Seaboard a better option for sun-seekers.
The Southern Suburbs in the shadow of Table Mountain is a cool respite in the leafy suburbs of Claremont, Newlands, Constantia and Bishops' Court.
The Northern Suburbs is near the Durbanville winelands and places you closer to the Boland, where you can explore the vineyards of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl.
On the False Bay side, you get a taste of a different Cape Town with the laid-back seaside suburbs of Muizenberg, St James, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek Glencairn and Simon's Town.
If you head over to the Helderberg to explore Somerset West, Gordon's Bay and the Strand, the sea temperatures are slightly higher than the cold Atlantic Seaboard, thanks to the inflow of the warmer Indian Ocean into False Bay.
Ready to start looking for accommodation?
If you are ready to book accommodation for your trip, browse through our portfolio of luxury villas and apartments in Cape Town's best suburbs.
If you have any questions, email reservations or call us on +27 21 201 1217 for advice and assistance.

Cape Town is a cosmopolitan city, rated by top reviewers as one of the best places to visit in the world and recipient of numerous awards.
Its natural beauty in combination with its magical position at the southernmost tip of Africa, bolstered by its vibey culture and special place it holds in the heart of the rainbow nation which is South Africa, makes Cape Town a highly desirable tourist destination.

Business travellers get especially weary of impersonal hotel stays and when it is time to take the family on vacation, the last resort would be to choose hotels for a holiday stay.

According to CBS News, a 42-year-old southwest Idaho man with seven convictions for driving under the influence has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Police pulled over the Idaho man on March 17, 2014. A warrant leading to a blood draw found that he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.287, well over the 0.08 limit for Idaho.
He pleaded guilty to felony DUI in June. Authorities say this is his fifth felony DUI and his seventh lifetime DUI.
Judge Molly J. Huskey deemed the man a persistent violator, allowing for stricter sentencing. Prosecutor Bryan Taylor says the repeated crimes mean he's too dangerous to be allowed on the streets.
If you or someone you know have been stopped, questioned, or arrested for driving under the influence, the first call you should make is to a qualified DUI defense attorney. We are available 24/7 on our on-call attorney line at (253) 217-4849

Record-Breaking Mako Shark Tips Off Conservation Debate
On Monday, a group of anglers from Texas, Colorado, and California hooked a colossal fish off Southern California. After a long struggle, they reeled in a shortfin mako shark that they say tipped the scale at 1,323.5 pounds (600 kilograms).
A sampling of the comment section: It's not just depressing, it's revolting. How proud these people must be to have tortured to death and butchered one of God's most amazing and beautiful creatures, then stuffed its brutalized body into a garbage dumpster…This is simply disgraceful. Rationalize and justify it all you want, Knowlton, but what you did was an act of horrible violence and desecration. You have destroyed something irreplaceable. You and your gang of marauding thugs (and no surprise you are from Texas) make me sick. Read the article and comments

Across the ever-innovative USA, a crop of farm-to-spoon ice-cream boutiques are teaming up with regional small producers and using hyperlocal ingredients that impart a sense of place with every lick. There's tangy bay laurel at Seattle parlour Kurt Farm Shop – where the essence of Washington State's aromatic evergreen is swirled into each spoonful – and locally caught lobster ice cream at Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium in Maine. The latter might strike some as uncommonly adventurous, but it's actually fantastically tasty, not so different from a frozen lobster bisque. And at the San Francisco outposts of super-trendy mini-chain Salt & Straw (pictured below), the maverick riff on a Bay Area cheese plate is also a monster hit; blending triple-cream Mt Tam cheese from a smart local dairy with candied chunks of fruit and walnut bread from Acme bakery, it's a coneful of rich, funky, crunchy delight.
Owner Kim Malek abandoned a six-figure salary to start the company, which adapts its menu seasonally, and locally to each shop, with flavour highlights including blood pudding from Portland and California-grown black olive brittle. Keep an eye closer to home too — in Scotland's St Andrews, ice-cream café Jannettas sources seaweed to make a sorbet; in Brighton, Boho Gelato has cooked up a cep mushroom and chocolate fudge sundae; while in Galway, Ireland, Aniar restaurant has created a wild Atlantic oyster ice cream that's served in its shell.

6 Great Ideas You May Not Have Thought About
Many traditional health care providers consider any treatment other than Hormone Replacement Therapy as "alternative".
But since herbal treatments are considered main-stream by most women, we will look at treatment options that are a little more out of the ordinary.
Herbal Treatments
Home Remedies
Relaxation Techniques
Lifestyle Changes
Chinese Herbs
Here we are introducing six alternative menopause treatments you may not have thought about. These are Menopause treatments that are not commonly known but are successfully used by some women.
These alternative treatments include such things as:
- Acupuncture
- Relaxation and Other Stress Reducing Techniques
- Yoga and Pilates
- Diet and Dietary Adjustments
- Lifestyle Changes
- Exercise
Some of these treatments can be used together with more conventional therapies to come up with your own individualized treatment plan.
It is time to play an active role in the management of your health – with a good health care provider by your side.
1. Acupuncture for Menopause
Newer research has shown the effectiveness of acupuncture for hot flashes and night sweats. It works for several other symptoms such as low libido, lack of energy and depressive mood as well.
Numerous women swear by acupuncture in conjunction with Chinese herbs to manage their menopause symptoms. You may have to go several times to an acupuncturist to get total relief but the benefits are certainly worth it.
Acupuncture, like all the methods of traditional Chinese medicine, is a holistic approach. This means that the practitioner does not just treat one symptom but considers the total health history of the patient.
Find an experienced acupuncturist in your area and give it a try.
Dr. Csaba Mihaly has a great acupuncture site that explains in detail how and why acupuncture for hot flashes works.
2. Relaxation and Other Stress Reducing Techniques
Anything you can do to relax and reduce stress will help with coping in menopause. Numerous studies have shown that stress is one of the main reasons for speeding up the aging process and making your body prone to diseases.
Moreover, it has been proven that stress will make your menopause symptoms worse.
These techniques will not work overnight. You will have to practice and be consistent to have success. But they will work to ease the severity of your symptoms and in some cases even stop them (i.e. hot flashes).
Any one of the relaxation options is a great treatment but they work even better in conjunction with other remedies.
You can find several of the most common relaxation techniques such asprogressive relaxation or deep breathing exercises with specific instructions in a separate article about coping with menopause.
3. Yoga and Pilates
A recent study from India has shown that regular yoga can help alleviate hot flashes and increase memory.
It is believed that yoga increases the levels of mood regulating chemicals in the brain but it also provides help for other typical menopause symptoms, such as heart palpitations, sleeplessness, headaches and many more.
Yoga and Pilates are both mind-body exercises. This means that it doesn't just engage the body, but provides a stress relieving benefit at the same time.
Plus you stretch your body to relieve tension, stay more flexible and fight of osteoporosis.
The combination of burning calories and helping your menopause symptoms simultaneously makes this a great alternative treatment that every woman should consider.
4. Diet and Dietary Adjustments
A diet for menopause symptoms and control of hot flashes must support ahealthy hormone balance and help with weight loss.
There is no denying that the metabolism slows down when we get older. Plus the loss of estrogen makes it easier for fat to accumulate in the cells.
So this is a double whammy for women: Not only do women suffer from menopause symptoms but they have to stay away from comfort foods even more. Not fair!
The menopausal transition is a time when decades of bad habits cause problems. Over time, the western diet of highly processed, fatty and calorie-dense foods damages not only the hunger control mechanism but other hormonal systems as well.
So now is the time to make some healthy changes to bring everything back into balance and lose some weight in the process. Check out the page onTips for Losing Weight During Menopause.
By focusing on fresh vegetables, healthy fats and beneficial fiber, you are well on your way to make the menopause transition a time of true change.
A tasty and easy way to achieve this goal and to get more fruits and vegetables into your diet is through natural juices and Healthy Smoothies. Follow the link for recipes and information. It will open in a new window.
5. Lifestyle Changes
Nobody wants to hear that the lifestyle they were leading is contributing to feeling bad. But just because it is not a fun message to hear, doesn't make it go away.
Bad habits like smoking, being in constant stress, eating out and neglecting the body has its toll and the price comes due at menopause (if not earlier).
We already mentioned that stress makes your symptoms worse and this is true as well for a host of other lifestyle choices.
You can easily avoid some triggers of hot flashes such as spicy foods. It is also easy to change some of the clothing to be able to take layers of or put them on when the hot flashes strike.
Other lifestyle changes will be a lot harder. Do we even dare to mention that smoking can trigger hot flashes? Or alcohol or sugar?
The reward is not only less (or less severe) menopause symptoms but also a longer and healthier life – and that is goal worth fighting the inner demons for. Don't you agree?
Here are some great ideas for healthy lifestyle changes. Just start with some of the easy ones. You will be glad you did.
6. Menopause and Exercise
Menopause and Exercise: as if we were not sweating enough as it is! However, everybody knows that exercise is good for our body:
- It is good for your energy level
- It keeps the pounds in check
- It keeps the bones strong
- It keeps the brain functioning
- AND helps with hot flashes and other symptoms.
We already mentioned yoga and Pilates which are two of the exercise methods that are known to benefit women in menopause. But whatever exercise you like, even simple walking, brings long term benefits and short term symptom relief.
Alternative Menopause Treatment Summary
Any of these ideas for an alternative menopause treatment will help youcope with menopause and other life events.
Even if you use other menopause treatments, hormonal or natural, any of these ideas will benefit your overall health. So give them a try.
We realize that this list of alternative treatments for menopause is by no means complete. We could also talk about acupressure, Reiki or several other methods that would fall into this category. If you have any experience with alternative treatments, please let us know.

Posted below this post are 20 different papers that were written primarily for the top tax counsels and staff on Capitol Hill, primarily in the Senate and on the House Ways and Means Committee.
In August 2010 Tom's work was discovered and quickly became required reading for the top tax counsels in the Senate for taxes affecting businesses, at the request of then Committee on Finance Chair, Senator Baucus. It is regularly known that Tom's papers also became regular reading among most top tax experts, particularly on the Finance and Ways and Means committees, and particularly with Democrats.
All of the below paper's have at least to some degree influenced public policy and discussions in Washington DC, The most important, and crucial first step, tax reform idea of Tom's, the Employer Tax Carve Out, became an important bipartisan bill in the U.S. Senate in fall 2010. The ETCO has been called "the linchpin" to any tax reform and budget deal by it's influential cosponsors, Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri.
An ETCO, with the personal income tax, is simply a shift of the personal income tax burden, off of domestic employers and onto the wealthy who do not employ domestically. This tax carve out for active American employers is achieved through a tax credit for domestic employees, that are W2'd where all FICA taxes are paid, that are worth just less than the employer's side of employee FICA taxes paid, So a financial gain will not incur simply by employing domestically, only a tax credit and tax carve out against one's personal income tax bill. With this carve out a much more efficient personal income tax system is created.
Since the vast majority of personal income taxes are paid by the wealthy, and since active domestic employers account for a very small percentage of all income within even the wealthiest income strata, for example within the top 2% of U.S. incomes only 14% of all income is generated from active U.S. employers, yet these domestic job creators are among the fastest growing in the U.S., generating typically around 50% to as much as 80% of all domestic private sector jobs, meanwhile the wealthy non-employers in the U.S., those for example who generate the 86% of income within all of the top 2% of US incomes that are not generated via US employing businesses, they have some of the highest savings rates in the entire economy, about 40% and in savings vehicles that are least often invested tangibly in the U.S., so therefore, this shift in the personal income tax burden, off of domestic employers and onto wealthy non-employers in the US, will create a much more efficient personal income tax system while raising tax revenues without raising overall taxes, by freeing up capital for America's fastest growing domestic job creators, increasing taxes in the place of the economy where it is least spent tangibly in the U.S., and creating a tax incentive for wealthy non-employers to employ in the U.S., and further, the greater the difference in effective tax rate between the domestic employing and those who do not, the more tax revenues will be generated and the greater will exist an incentive to employ domestically, thus increasing domestic labor compensation!
The truth is that the Employer Tax Carve Out is likely to become law over the next 2.5 years, given that most members of congress are committed to bringing forward some kind of business tax reform, at least right after the 2016 election, and that the ETCO is an essential part of Capitol Hill's leading business tax reform plan. This leading plan being: To make our C Corporation income tax code more efficient and globally competitive by eliminating or reducing certain tax deductions that are taken mainly by many of America's largest corporations, in exchange for lowering overall C Corp income tax rates. This shift in the tax burden would be more apt to benefit smaller, and faster growing in the U.S., C Corporations. Thus creating an economic efficiency benefiting domestic growth. Yet this leading business tax reform plan also calls for a similar elimination, or reduction, of certain tax deductions for a reduction of overall income tax rates for pass-through businesses that are taxed as personal income. But if an Employer Tax Carve Out were not also enacted with this reduction of tax rates for pass-through businesses, every American taxpayer, domestic employer or not, could simply claim to be a small business pass-through and receive a lower income tax rate. But with an ETCO, a much more efficient personal income tax system is created!
All of the papers below have influenced policy and debate in Washington DC. The latest post describes the above leading business tax reform plan and the ETCO's role with this plan, among other things. A great paper for learning the bassics of Tom Pallow's tax reform and other economic policy work is the paper, "Wrestling and Bouncing Crude Keynesianism Out of Washington DC for Good." The best paper for details of how ETCOs work, and very importantly, how ETCOs, and Employer Tax Credits that create ETCOs, can be used in nearly all areas of tax codes in ways that will create more employment domestically and in higher compensating manors, read, "Our Tax Reform Submission Paper to The Senate Committee on Finance." You can also watch Senator Collins discuss the ETCO on Larry Kudlow's CNBC TV show if you YouTube search, "Senator Collins and Larry Kudlow, Protecting small businesses, job creators from the Fiscal Cliff."

Well we have been of grid for awhile… I have spent so much of my time working on my blog design that my family thinks I have forgot to cook, clean, or do laundry. I have been searching high and low for the "perfect blog theme" and never was totally happy. I think that your blog really reflects who you are…. Those of you who know me creating what is around me is vital to who I am. All I can say is…. my poor hubby I have not baked in weeks! When I begun designing our new site I tried many programs wanting the easy way out.I am sure y'all have heard "if it is too good to be true… it probably is…" So I had to, as my friend Lindsey would put it, "put my big girl panties on and find a way… " That road was waaaay longer than I ever thought possible. But I have FINALLY finished and am so super excited about our new "digital home".
I know everyone is super anxious to hear how our Minnie girl is doing…
I am sure each time I look at her that I have seen a modern day miracle. I know that sounds completely cliche, but there is no other way to explain how miraculous she is. She is running and swimming and biking… She is laughing and singing and dancing… She is a true example of the Lords work. We as a family are in complete awe of Him, I can not begin to explain the JOY that we are given each day.
I hope that prayers are still being sent Minnie's way, each day is a new adventurer for her. Some days she hurts so super bad and some days she is just perfect. But really each day is a true blessing and we are all thankful!
I am planning on blogging about "Mighty Minnie" on Monday's… Those of you who are her prayer warriors thank you! And Please join us on Mondays, I will post updates and pictures… And she plans on writing a little too!
This Thursday she gets Braces!!! Can you believe it! Just yesterday she was a baby.
Stay tuned Rogers Family Blog has a ton in store… I just know that God has led us to blog to strengthen and heal us.
With love and gratitude…

Emotion is a hard thing for me. So Menopause is like living in my own personal hell. I am not kidding… I thought that things were rough when I was a teenager… Try adding two kids one of which is an adolescent young man and has the whole world figured out already, a spouse who "understands" that I am "nuts". There is no book on how to go through Menopause in your 30's… Well there might have been, but they made it out of chocolate and the only other 30 year woman in menopause ate it! Now I am left hanging out here hungry and not knowing what to expect next. I am sure Josh is expecting my head to start spinning and my kids are pissed that that lady ate the chocolate book because now Mommy might eat them if they don't stop chewing there food anywhere near me because it is driving me insane. Really, I am my own freak show. I am trying to keep my emotions in check and wouldn't you know some will look at me and my whole freaking world is turned upside down. This has to stop because everyone in town keeps giving me dirty looks, and I KNOW everyone is talking about me. I am not kidding people, how am I supposed to drive home without road rage after being LOOOOKED at like that!
It seems as though each and every day is a "different" Rach. I forget a lot what my body is going through and I'll try to figure out why it is I am so "nutty" and when I am at my whits end I will remember… Not that it take the "nuttyness" away it's just nice to know my rocker is still on the porch!

Many years ago, an overly ambitious jet-skier that couldn't swim, wasn't wearing a life-jacket, and had been reportedly drinking beer like Cooter Brown drowned in a nearby lake.
He was last seen flailing about in the water by the hot water run-off from a nearby power plant - creating a quirky and swirling current - so his body could have been transported anywhere.
Divers did not locate him where he was believed to have gone under so they called out my search team to help locate him.
In the inevitable scuttlebutt of where he could have ended up, a young fireman made an offhanded comment that a couple of years prior to the current drowning, another victim went under in nearly the same spot and ended up resurfacing in a cove clear across the lake.
- The problem was that the young fireman didn't share his memory officially nor did he say anything until the second full day of the search.
Alas, the drowning victim was eventually recovered 2 days later right where the previous victim was located years earlier.
- What would the results have been if we all knew that people that drown in area "X" tend to drift and resurface near area "Y"?
- What would the impact be to the family of the victim, the other lake visitors, the responding agencies?
That firefighter's knowledge about prior drowning victims was critical to know, but it was not institutionalized.
It required that at least one of the responders from year's back be present to recall their experience. And of course when those with the requisite knowledge are not available, that knowledge is no longer available either.
- Which ultimately means we have to re-learn each lesson over and over and over.
Sound familiar?
Institutional knowledge is like common knowledge ... it's neither institutionalized nor common unless we takes steps to make it so.
"Institutional knowledge is like common knowledge ... it's neither institutionalized nor common unless we takes steps to make it so." ~Mike McKenna #leadership
The simplest way to make knowledge institutional is to debrief every response, every crisis, every planned and unplanned event.
For better or worse, that requires leadership at the top to influence that 'change in how business is done.'
Debriefings don't need to be long and drawn out but they do need to be consistent and thorough enough to transcend the trap of having to rely on anyone's collective memory.
Power Tip - "The Huddle"
It is common among bureaucratic organizations to get stuck on the presumed 'formality' of debriefings.
While anything written down could surely be subject to legal scrutiny, the core purpose of the debriefing should not be overlooked.
If you find your organization getting tripped up over the mostly-meaningless details of a debriefing, try this:
- Grab a pen and paper.
- Call a "huddle" with the key players.
Gather around a table, a tailgate or a lamp post and purposely capture the key findings.
Trust me, a simple "huddle" can do more for improved communication than dozens of overly-managed and scripted formal meetings.
After collecting the results, they need to be tagged, indexed or otherwise incorporated into future plans and operations through documentation in manuals, teach-ups, and other forms of ongoing training.
- We have policy manuals, on-boarding manuals and reference manuals for operating the coffee maker ... so why not have a manual (living document) for referencing previous responses?
This process forms a repeatable cycle of communication and improvement.
And repeatable cycles create institutional memories.

In a recently declassified Pentagon Inspector General report (embedded below) obtained originally by Truthout via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, It was revealed that detainees at Guantanamo Bay were forced to take "mind altering drugs."
Unfortunately, this is not the only horror story which has emerged from the Guantanamo Bay military detention center. One of the more disturbing cases involved the alleged suicide of three detainees which became highly questionable after a soldier came forward with testimony completely contradicting the Pentagon's story…
Always keep in mind that these "detainees" have not been convicted of anything. Moreover, the drugging casts doubt on the efficacy of any military tribunals and confessions.
During this summer of Occupy and subsequent police brutality, the subject of torture is hotly denounced by protesters and conveniently ignored by candidates. Like that ostrich diving head first into the sand of political expediency–Americans want to focus on the alleged debt crisis or gay marriage–anything that absolves us from the messy subject of tortures committed in our names by the Bush/Cheney administration and which continue under Obama to the present day…

Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Michigan Wolverines Game Preview and Prediction
Bo Pelini and the Nebraska Cornhuskers travel to Ann Arbor to face off against Brady Hoke and the Michigan Wolverines in this conference battle at the Big House at 3:30 pm ET on ABC. The emotional states of Nebraska and Michigan players could not be more different after last week. The Cornhuskers beat Northwestern on a Hail Mary pass from Ron Kellogg III to Jacob Westerkamp as time expired. On the other hand, the Wolverines scored six points and put up just 168 yards of offense against bitter in-state rival Michigan State. The loss dropped Michigan out of a position to play in the Big Ten Championship, while Nebraska stayed alive in the Legends Division of the Big Ten. The Cornhuskers will once again be without starting quarterback Taylor Martinez, who is now battling a hip pointer and a shoulder injury, after being sidelined for two games earlier this season with turf toe.
fter being riddled with turf toe and sidelined for two games, the senior quarterback is now battling a hip pointer and a shoulder injur - See more at: http://athlonsports.com/college-football/taylor-martinez-likely-out-michigan-game#sthash.SPRsCfOe.dpuf
3 Things to Watch
That's the amount of rushing yards Michigan had last week against Michigan State. It's the lowest rushing output in the program's lengthy history. Gardner had -46 rushing yards thanks in large part to the fact that the NCAA counts sacks as negative rushing yards. On the designed runs for Gardner, he rushed 11 times for three yards, including four negative rushes. Fitzgerald Toussaint rushed for just 20 yards on eight carries. Michigan only had five rushing attempts in the second half, and the only drive the Wolverines moved the ball into Michigan State territory in the second half ended with a Devin Gardner interception. Perhaps they can revitalize themselves on the ground against a Nebraska defense that allowed Northwestern RB Treyvon Green to rush for 149 yards and three touchdowns and QB Kain Colter to rush for 86 yards.
Offensive Line Play
After last week, many believe that the proud tradition of a strong offensive line hasn't been lived up to this year at Michigan. While they did struggle last week in allowing Devin Gardner to be sacked eight times, outside of that game, Michigan has only allowed 12 sacks in seven games. The Wolverines are led by All-American tackle Taylor Lewan and, while they have had some issues with chemistry and communication, this is still a talented bunch capable of shutting down an opposing pass rush. Where the Michigan line has struggled has been in opening holes in the run game. The Wolverines are 10th in the Big Ten in rushing offense, averaging just 154.9 yards per game. The Cornhuskers don't have as a talented of a front seven as Michigan State; however, they have some nice pieces that could cause Michigan some problems. Look for an impact from defensive end Randy Gregory, a versatile 6'6" end that has recorded three sacks in the last three games. Nebraska defensive coordinator John Papuchis loves to move Gregory all around the field and will do so often to keep him from being matched up with Lewan. If Lewan is able to contain Gregory, then Nebraska will need its leading sacker, freshman Avery Moss, to make some big plays. In the other camp, Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison has to be licking his chops at the idea of sending pressure on a vulnerable Nebraska line. The Cornhuskers were severely hurt by the injury to All-Big Ten guard Spencer Long and will be forced to shuffle things even more with the recent injury to the other guard Jake Cotton. Both injuries have forced inexperienced players to grow up fast and are a large reason why Nebraska allows nearly four and a half sacks per contest.
Freshman quarterback at The Big House
Michigan Stadium is the largest stadium in the United States with a capacity of 109,901. That's no easy atmosphere for an experience quarterback to undertake, much less redshirt freshman Tommy Armstrong Jr. Armstrong has experienced nothing like the road atmosphere in Ann Arbor as his only road start in his career came against Purdue. In that game he went six for 18 for 43 yards and three interceptions. It was the first of two straight games in which the young quarterback has thrown three interceptions. Nebraska has won just seven of 15 games away from Lincoln since the start 2011, while the Wolverines are undefeated at home under Brady Hoke.
Key Player: Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska
This junior has been beyond impressive in 2013. He currently ranks sixth in the entire nation in rushing yards with 1,108 and is second among top 15 rushers with a 7.1 yards per carry average. Abdullah has gone over the 100-yard mark in seven of his eight games this year, including a 225-yard performance against Illinois. His only game under 100 yards? That was when he rushed for 98 yards on 23 carries against UCLA. He's averaging nearly 161 rushing yards per game in Big Ten play. Last year against the Wolverines, Abdullah rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries.
Final Analysis:
Michigan's offense looked terrible last week. But then again, so did Nebraska and Tommy Armstrong Jr. The Cornhuskers may have gotten a win, but they did against a Northwestern team that hasn't won a game since September 21. Let's chalk Michigan's struggles up to the stifling Michigan State defense. Nebraska doesn't have anything close to resembling what Mark Dantonio and Pat Narduzzi have built in East Lansing; however, they do have the nation's No. 4 ranked pass defense. Nebraska wins this game if they can pounce on Michigan early with a turnover, get a quick lead and take the air out of the ball the rest of the game. Forget it. Devin Gardner and the Wolverines are too tough at home and they offense that scores 37.9 points per game will show up in full force.
Prediction: Michigan 31, Nebraska 20

I ended up paying like $30 for one on Amazon. Thats when I discovered that there were alot of vhs vids going for decent money and the great thing was, i could find them for $1, sometimes more but there was a good profit that was made off of all these vids. I would drive hours sometimes after planning out my route to the stores selling vhs. Gas was much cheaper then. I still have quiye a bit of stock. I just couldnt get them on Ebay fast enough so some have been released on dvd so the vhs isnt worth as much. Therefore will be donated.

Patient panels act as an extremely useful tool to discuss and improve parts of the patient journey. They provide an opportunity for discussion between healthcare professionals and patients, so that both can genuinely understand each other's situation and move towards a mutually beneficial service improvement or solution.
It is important for an IBD service to continually improve to meet patient expectations but also to optimise efficiency both in terms of time and cost. Supporting patients in self-management and being flexible in the service provided to an individual supports both aims.
This case study fits under numerous standards, through the work with patients to improve specific parts of patient's ongoing care pathway.

What is your tuberculosis prognosis? Submit Your Comment
I never dreamed that I had tuberculosis. I was strong, felt healthy, and was doing a lot of sport. I had dry coughs and bled every time I brushed my teeth. My dentist said I had no gum problem, and my doctor said I had no reason to cough. One day after coughing I saw blood. I am now well. I was healed in 2003. I have no problem in breathing although 1/3rd of my lung does not function. My problem is that every day I spit yellow and cough. I sometimes choke if I swallow meat and must drink while eating, to get my food down. My doctor said he can do nothing about it.
I had tuberculosis (TB) in 2002 and I got treatment for 9 months. After a long time, doctor told me that I was infected again due to over smoking and asked me to start treatment. At present he is giving me AKT-4 for 2 months. Already he asked me to take liver function test only and the report is ok.

Jamie Lee Curtis is taking on the role of Laurie Strode for a fifth time on the big screen in David Gordon Green's upcoming "Halloween" sequel, but she might not have taken the gig had it not been for Jake Gyllenhaal. In an interview with Variety, Curtis revealed Green personally sent Gyllenhaal on a mission to track her down while she was vacationing in the mountains with her husband, Christopher Guest. Gyllenhaal's mission was to convince Curtis to hear the director's pitch for a new "Halloween" film. Gyllenhaal is Curtis' "unofficial godson."
The reason Gyllenhaal could vouch for Green is because the actor had just worked with the director on the Boston Marathon bombing drama "Stronger." Gyllenhaal starred opposite Tatiana Maslany in the movie, which earned Green some of the best reviews of his career and put Gyllenhaal in the Oscar race for best actor. Gyllenhaal missed out on landing a nomination, but he helped convince Curtis to talk to Green by telling her his time working with Green on "Stronger" was the "greatest experience of his professional career."
Gyllenhaal's enthusiastic endorsement of Green resulted in Curtis giving the filmmaker a call. The two ended up hitting it off immediately, and Curtis told Variety she agreed to return to the role of Strode after she realized how similar Green was to original "Halloween" director John Carpenter.
"They're both laid back and don't take themselves too seriously," Curtis said.
The new "Halloween" serves as a direct sequel to Carpenter's 1978 original, meaning it ignores the nine sequels made afterward. Strode is now a grandmother who has been training her whole life for another showdown with Michael Myers. After the psychopath escapes from a mental asylum and goes on a killing spree, Strode does everything she can to protect her family and kill Myers once and for all.
"We shed all of that other stuff and just went back to what made the original so great," Curtis said of the new film. "John [Carpenter] didn't write most of those films, so it was just all these new people making up stories. But with this one, we just literally cut the line. Whether or not people loved or hated those stories has no relevance to this movie."
"Halloween" also returns Carpenter to the franchise. The franchise's original director serves as an executive producer on the new film, and both his and Curtis' involvement was integral for producer Jason Blum.
"You can't make 'Halloween' without John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis," Blum said. "If you did, you'd be starting out with two and a half strikes against you."
Curtis promises Green's "Halloween" is "terrifying," "old-school," and "terrifying." The actress said working on the movie felt like working on the original, with Green focused on character and the cast and crew hungry to do the work. The experience differed greatly from Curtis' time working on the sequel "Halloween H20: 20 Years Later."
"'H20' started out with best intentions, but it ended up being a money gig," Curtis said. "The film had some good things in it. It talked about alcoholism and trauma, but I ended up really doing it for the paycheck."
Fans will get to discover if Green's "Halloween" is a worthy sequel when the movie opens nationwide October 19 via Universal Pictures. For now, let's thank Jake Gyllenhaal for getting Curtis back on board.
