The Longing Within
For me this is a beautiful week as we celebrate Passion week in my faith. This last year has been super hard for me. LOL I was just telling my good friend Kathy in a message that it's been a rough THREE years….so much loss of loved ones, my beloved dog Schatzie, a hard-earned business (online school) I built with my colleague, and friendships I never thought would end. And yet. And still…I have Him. Jesus. To me He is the MOST beautiful thing there is. So with eyes firmly upon Him I move forward. He is my All. He ought to...read more
Resting and Fasting
In the western countries people can really freak out about missing even one meal – never mind that a big portion of the world is blessed to eat even once a day! Resting our digestion is a REALLY good thing considering how much happens in the body during that – all the expended energy used up as well as free radicals formed. Resting digestion helps the body to clean up debris and healing will happen faster. For our dogs as carnivores, resting digestion isn't really optional. The carnivore anatomy and physiology makes fasting...read more
Hugs and Laughter for Healing
On the day after St. Patrick's day I shared the following post on Facebook because my own sister took her life on St. Patrick's Day in 2016. When I shared that, so many people shared virtual hugs with me. It made me think more about the healing power of hugging. Which then got me started thinking about healing myself from a recent two day acute illness. I healed myself for free, with the exception of my essential oils. No doctor visits. So I decided to look into other things that help us heal naturally without any money...read more
The Power of Our Attitudes
What does that mean, the power of our attitude? In other words the power is in our attitudes towards what is happening in our lives. We can react or respond. We can rise above and soar or sink and let it take us into a place of bitterness and despair. It's a choice. It always is. Do I always succeed at soaring or rising above, or responding positively? No. But it is my goal as I go through life for sure. From January 2018 to January 2019 I lost a cousin to suicide (October 2018), my beloved dog Schatzie to cancer (January 2019), an...read more
The Lies Only Get Bigger…
Here's the thing, the more we share the absolute truth, the lies only get bigger. With censorship on the rise in this country, especially right now in social media, it has become far more evident that we need to continue to spread the truth. This is nothing new because there is nothing new under the sun. Let me share with you one lie that is continuing to grow and then you can listen to this week's podcast for another lie that is growing and all the quotes I shared on that – the good, the bad and the ugly! DOGS ARE...read more
Sunrise and Nature
This was our sunrise on March 2nd – yes on a Saturday morning. It's just another beautiful thing about having dogs – we never miss the sunrise so I'm very grateful to enjoy this beauty daily while honoring the laws of health. In this case we get to honor 2-3 of the laws of health: exercise, fresh air and even sometimes sunshine! And all while being out in nature, woot! We also were the only humans out and about but it was evident to us both that Spring has indeed arrived in NM because we were greeted with a cacophony of the Dawn...read more

Canaan Dog or Carolina Dog?
A friend shared this on my timeline this month and I wanted to share it here with you all. First she shared an article and then a very beautiful and encouraging comment to me which totally made my day.

What is our SEO service worth to you as a customer?
A few days ago, we spoke with a potential customer on the phone after we had already sent him an SEO Audit for his site. He told us that everything in the audit was quite clear, but he asked to describe to him, what exactly is he paying for. He wanted to know what the SEO is about and how can we measure it, so he knows exactly how much our SEO service worth to him as a customer and calculate the Return on Investment (ROI).
Then we decided to write this post, although our Link Building page thoroughly describes our work process and what you can expect from our service. In this post, we'll explain in more detail how and why SEO helps your online business and how we measure our work.
High ranking in Google's organic results for business-critical keywords
Quite often, our clients want to bind the SEO contract with specific rankings and terms. Unfortunately, it's something that does not depend on us, especially now that the Google search is profoundly personalised, people from different places would see different results. Mobile devices also show different search ranking results compared to desktops.
Years ago, as you may know, there was one major indicator of site strength – Page Rank. For some reason, Google has stopped using it and has four other metrics instead that are used to measure the likeliness of a website to be ranked high:
Domain Authority (DA) – overall domain authority;
Page Page Authority (PA) – page level authority;
Trust Flow (TF) – measures the quality of a link profile
Citation Flow (CF) – domain/brand quote on the Internet.
A site should be structured correctly, with clear and clean code, relationships, meta tags, elements, design and usability. It must also be updated with high-quality content on a frequent basis and shared across the internet to rank well for critical keywords. This will bring a lot of relevant traffic, and even the turn organic search (i.e., traffic from search engines) into the largest traffic channel for your site.
A well-structured site with premium design and UX
For a website to claim popularity, adequate metrics, and high rankings, it must meet several conditions first. It is essential for your site to be designed correctly and to provide an advanced user experience (UX). This is what we have previously referred to as on-site optimisation.
Most SEO professionals rarely know much about design, but we can all recognise when a site has a poor design that confuses the visitors and makes a bad impression. If your website's design has flaws in it, this is one of the first things that you will need to address.
Our optimisation service includes a free SEO Audit that will show the current status of your website, what needs to be done and remedied to get a stable and correct foundation on which to start everything else.
Website speed
The speed of your site is also a crucial factor that affects your rankings according to the search engine algorithms. If this is an aspect where your website is underperforming, you should carefully consider speeding it up to have positive SEO expectations.
Here are some excellent speed test tools:
Google PageSpeed Insights
GT Metrix
Relevant traffic from links
An essential part of search engine optimisation is building links to different pages of your site. This process is called link building.
In recent years Google's algorithms have become quite sophisticated and complicated, but much more accurate than ever. Nowadays, to make any real breakthrough with SEO optimisation, your progress will have to be achieved naturally. While the number of links was of primary importance for years, quality and relevance even more critical now. It is quite natural to get a link to your site from another one that is thematically similar to yours. This also suggests that the audience would also be interested in your content (product, service). It will surely bring you relevant traffic to your site and perhaps potential customers.
Search by images
"One image equals a thousand words," someone once said. Studies show that people prefer to absorb and process information from images rather than text.
Optimising for Google's images search has several significant benefits:
– Your site gets faster;
– Consumers are much more likely to buy if they have a clear picture of the product;
– Many users are already searching looking straight into Google images;
– Visual elements attract more clicks and interactions.
Google has connected shopping results with images, that is, buying products directly when searching for images. When improving and fine-tuning the on-site optimisation, it is essential to optimise the photos as well.
It is almost imperative for an SEO expert to understand marketing. We provide a lot of advice to our customers about how to present their brand, how to segment the market and approach the various audiences differently. What can also provide recommendations on how to impose and reinforce your brand, and how to combine the SEO service worth, branding and PR.
Mobile search
The time of desktops is now indeed gone. The advantages of gadgets that we can carry with us all are indisputable. At any time and wherever you are, you can pull out your smartphone, look for what you needed and BUY it or get the information you need. It is obligatory for every self-respecting website and for any online business that wants to succeed, to have an excellent mobile version of their site and to abide by the rules for mobile optimisation.
Relatively recently Google decided to give priority to the mobile index. You may have noticed that big companies are already making their sites thinking first about mobile devices and then for desktop computers.
Now mobile SEO is an indispensable and integral part of the entire optimisation process.
Local search
There is a say that there is no such thing as guaranteed search result pages, and that is due to the recent location and personalisation of search engine algorithms. Although, the local search could be highly rewarding and make the most out of your SEO service worth.
Google's self-learning and distinguishably smart algorithms can easily understand what you tend to like as a customer. They can also offer you a service you need close to your physical location.
Long-tail keyword phrases
When you want to buy, for example, a Samsung Galaxy S9, you will certainly not search for a phrase like "mobile phones" or "smartphones". You will be far more likely to search for something like "buy Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone". Additionally, searching for such phrases instantly boosts the probability of you becoming a potential buyer.
We as your SEO guides will conduct keyword research and find the right long-tail keywords for your business that would bring you a noticeable conversion rate. Simply put, our SEO service worth is more sales for your company.
This will enable your site to rank among the top results with the keywords we generate for you, thus justifying your investment. And do not forget that this is just one of the many advantages SEO can provide to your successful online business!

> And there is no such thing as centrifugal > force, it's a illusion based on inertia. Bah. Centrifugal force is real. Inertial reference frames are an illusion. Nobody in human history has ever been in a non-rotating reference frame. They're a purely theoretical construct. Save it for the physicists. Anybody doing practical work uses centrifugal force when it's the most sensible way to describe the system.

Your Name
I get SO many emails from people looking to lose weight, gain lean muscle, and get in shape. After speaking with them, I realize that they're just doing a few small but important things wrong.
It's usually not their fault they're doing the wrong things, they've just been misled and misinformed about what it truly takes to get results. It doesn't matter if you're a man or women, the weight loss process is the same for both.
To lose weight, you must create a calorie "loss". Calories are the "cause" of gaining weight. So in order to lose weight... you have to focus on burning off more calories. And if you'd like to learn the fastest and easiest way to do it... then you'll want to check out my program""
The nutrition advice will give you some simple things you can do to lose weight, gain lean muscle, and get in amazing shape. It's like following a "road map".
Follow these tips and you'll lose weight. I took all of the things I've learned about nutrition and exercise and put them into a guide that anyone can follow. You will NOT find a simpler, yet more effective program.
That's because you'll start spending your time on only the stuff that works, dropping the rest.
Do me a favor... Daydream for a moment.
Imagine how it would feel to lose that unwanted body fat from your body. How do you feel? Do you feel more confident, more attractive?
Well, you can have all of those and more. But you must first decide to go after them. And if you've made the decision to finally take charge and change your physique for the better, what do you do? Follow my proven program.
It's a "do this, then do that" type of simple read, not a boring text book. I cover all the basics of getting a lean physique: So save the time and aggravation. Skip the trial and error. Use my experience as your shortcut guide to getting the body you want and deserve! You will not find a more simple, yet more effective fat-loss program.
That's because you'll start spending your time on only the stuff that works.

A citrus worker in the Central Valley has died after a 600-pound blade from a wind machine broke loose and hit him.
The Fresno Bee says 53-year-old Richard Escobedo was fatally injured on Jan. 3 in an orchard near Visalia.
Wind machines circulate warmer air to prevent orchards from freezing.
Escobedo's brother, George, says he was told his sibling was shutting down the machine when it began vibrating badly and the propeller snapped off and struck him.
Escobedo worked at Wonderful Citrus, a division of the Wonderful Co., the nation's largest citrus grower. The Bee says the company was cited for two accidents in 2016.
Wonderful says it's investigating the accident and will take any steps necessary to prevent a recurrence.
State regulators also are investigating.

Trade show truss systems are unlike any other show display on the market because you have the ability to reconfigure them and create a whole new look to fit your needs and style at the convention. What makes truss displays so simple to reconfigure is the fact that each truss section is lightweight and can be assembled with either knob connectors or twist-lock connectors, requiring no tools.
Truss displays systems may have extravagant constructions, but can actually be packed up into easy-to-transport shipping cases. Dont let these lightweight, portable trade show exhibits fool you; they are actually very sturdy and tough for a long-lasting build. Some display stands only have a lifespan of a couple of years before they begin breaking and coming apart. With the exhibition truss, you won t have to worry about that because it is built of heavy-duty aluminum or steel. The graphics can easily be changed in order to promote new products or services from one show to the next.
Most truss components are manufactured in the United States, guaranteeing they are designed of high quality. Even if you have never been to a trade show in the past, you probably have still seen truss systems because they have been used on popular TV shows as back walls, such as American Idol, America s Got Talent, and on cable networks such as ESPN. Truss booths are one of the few display systems that can be used year-round as point-of-purchase displays or advertising tools, with their unique designs, lightweight construction, and portability.
If you just need a simple trade show display to show off a product or two without taking up much space, then the 10x10 exhibit and display truss may be the perfect fit for you. If you want to wow your audience with over-the-top display booths, then the 20x20 truss display is definitely the way to go.
Whatever your preference and need is, there s definitely a truss exhibit that will work. If you have any further questions on this display or any other show displays, please contact Smash Hit Displays and we d be more than happy to answer any questions you have.

The EJOT DELTA PT® screw facilitates reliable joints in the area of direct fastening assemblies into plastic. Some designs require the use of thermosets, which pose special demands on the direct assembly because of their hardness and brittleness. Slightly modified thread ends are necessary to make a direct assembly with these especially demanding materials possible. With the thread form DS (DuroSet) EJOT responded to these challenging conditions. For the EJOT DELTA PT® DS screw special grooves, which help to cut the female thread, are applied to the thread geometry of the established DELTA PT®.

It is time for a new person in the Oval Office—Republican, Democrat or independent—the sooner, the better. The fate of our Republic depends upon it.↩ The New York Times
People in Los Angeles live in stacked pods to afford rent.
In a column for the Los Angeles Times, Nita Lelyveld interviews residents of a pod complex in Hollywood, where people pay up to $945 a month for a sleeping berth. Granted, there's also a trendy co-working space, a trendy Peloton bike, a trendy backyard fire pit to enjoy. Still...
Here's the catch: Each single-sex unit is designed to accommodate 18 men or 18 women. Each diminutive bedroom with its private bathroom: four to six adults in small, stacked rectangular spaces called "pods" just wide enough for a mattress and high enough to sit but not stand on top of it.
Perhaps not too small for someone like Stephen Johnson of San Antonio, who lives with just 11 things. (But what does he wear on laundry day?)

It never occurred to the first white settlers who came to Yosemite and exclaimed that it had the pristine beauty of a European garden that it in fact was a garden, that this untouched wilderness was formed from intentional and continual human interaction.↩ Real Life
We learn that a "visionary and relentless" Jeff Bezos continued to drive a beat-up Honda Accord even as he became a billionaire, but his reported remark to an Amazon sales team that they ought to treat small publishers the way a lion treats a sickly gazelle is apparently not deemed worthy of the historical record.↩ The Nation

NEW YORK, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Hollywood couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have reportedly welcomed baby No. 2.
News outlets reported Friday that the 29-year-old actress and 39-year-old actor welcomed their second child in New York.
Sources told Page Six that Lively's close friend Taylor Swift was headed to visit the infant at the Manhattan hospital where the actress gave birth. Lively and Reynolds have yet to comment.
The Shallows star and Reynolds met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010 and married in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., in 2012. The couple are already parents to 21-month-old daughter James, and confirmed they were expecting again in May.
"I feel good," the actress said on Live! with Kelly in July. "[This pregnancy has been] much easier. A lot faster. You get bigger faster, too, which has been nice to try to fit into clothing strategically."
Lively had previously told the Today show that she and Reynolds hope to have a big family, joking that they're "officially breeders." She said in the July issue of Marie Claire that her family is the No. 1 priority in her life.
"All my eggs are in one basket, and that's my family. That's where my heart is. That's where my everything is," the star declared. "My family: That's the thing I feel most protective of and the thing that I feel is the most exposed when I feel exploited."
Lively is known for playing Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl and will next star in All I See is You with Jason Clarke. Reynolds is slated for Deadpool 2 and the comedy-drama Truth in Advertising.

Eliot Rahahl lapse into the sort of Odd Couple shenanigans that may be standard for this book, but would feel completely inappropriate for the situation.
The artwork here is particularly strong. Francis Portela Andrew Dalhouse. Colorists are often among the unsung heroes of comic books, but he does a masterful job here -- cold blues to depict the blackout-stricken city, hot oranges and yellows of the fire, and truly beautiful work blending and juxtaposing the two. The book really looks great.

Government sources yesterday dismissed as "factually incorrect" media reports of former Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) chief T.S. Raju claiming that the defence undertaking had signed a work-share contract with French company Dassault Aviation -- the manufacturer of Rafale fighter jets.
"In the news item published (Thursday) ex Chairman and Managing Director, (CMD) HAL has been quoted as stating that an agreed work-share with Dassault Aviation (DA) was submitted to government. The same news item also referred to the cost of the aircraft, life cycle cost issues, etc. The statement attributed to ex CMD, HAL is factually incorrect," said the sources.
The sources said that Mr Raju was a member of the Contract Negotiations Committee of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and "there were many major areas of disagreement between HAL and DA".
They said that the HAL, in a letter on Oct 10, 2012 to the MOD, "brought out these disagreements pertaining to the work-share between them".
"Subsequently in July 2014, HAL in its letter to MOD has also highlighted one major unresolved issue regarding responsibility sharing between DA and HAL for licence manufacture of the aircraft.
"Further, the man hours required for manufacture of various components of the aircraft in HAL was also a point of disagreement between DA and HAL. There is, therefore, a contradiction in the claims attributed to Raju," they said.
The sources also said that the since the work-share between DA and HAL was "never agreed upon", the statement claiming lower life cycle cost is "completely presumptive".
They said that because of these reasons, the proposal for 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) could not be progressed further.
In an interview to a national daily, Mr Raju who retired from the HAL on Sep 1, asserted that HAL "could have built Rafale fighters in India had the government managed to close the original negotiations with Dassault".
Riding on Mr Raju's statements, the Congress led by its president Rahul Gandhi demanded Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's resignation accusing her of "lying".
The party claimed that Mr Raju's remarks "nailed Sitharaman's lie" that HAL didn't have the capability to build the Rafale.

Gentle Bones & Myrne
Universal Music Singapore
4 stars
Joie Tan
4 stars
The collaboration between indie-pop singer-songwriter Gentle Bones and electronic music wunderkind Myrne created quite a buzz in the home-grown music circle - a meeting of two Singaporean creative forces who stand head and shoulders above the rest in their respective scenes.
The two pre-album singles released last year, the disco-hued JU1Y and breezy B4NGER, were quite distinct from each other and explored different parts of the electro-pop spectrum.
The full, 10-song album confirms what was only hinted at in the two singles.
B4NGER PROJECT is truly eclectic, a delectable collection of futuristic, forward-looking pop that balances soulful hooks from Gentle Bones (real name Joel Tan) and crafty production from Myrne (real name Manfred Lim).
Tracks like CRA2Y, S3OUL and 7OVE YOU see Tan infusing pop sensibilities and meandering melodies into Lim's canny use of arresting drops, constantly morphing rhythms and modulated effects.
While songs like JU1Y, 5HE DGAF and HEART8REAK see Tan lamenting relationships gone south, various whimsical moments peppered throughout the release keep the proceedings from getting too mopey.
In V0DKA, which features a sensuous cameo by fellow home-grown singer Sam Rui, Lim drops a playful "public announcement" to his two collaborators: "don't drink and drive... and don't text your ex".
Joie, another recent local release, is the debut of budding singer-songwriter Joie Tan.
While not related to Gentle Bones, the pair have performed together. And like Joel's lyrics in B4NGER PROJECT, her album sees her craftily navigate the vagaries of being in and out of love.
The 10-track album is a testament to how far she has come from her early years singing pop covers on YouTube.
She shows off her musical versatility, whether through the bubbly pop-soul of album opener Can't You See or the stripped-down piano ballad, Right Here Right Now.
While Just A Little Bit is playfully flirty with a funk-lite groove, What Is Love's desperate plea and lush first half build up to an electronic rock soundscape.
She shines best in the dreamy, ethereal-pop track, How Long, a breezy juxtaposition of downbeat vocals with insistent, driving beats.
The subtle electronic touches throughout the album - handled by the home-grown dream team of producer Bani Hidir and mixer Don Richmond and with mastering by Evan Low - accentuate Tan's lissom vocals and canny grasp of melodies.

Apheresis instruments are designed to separate whole blood into its component parts to selectively remove one component and return the remaining components to the patient. By processing one or more blood volumes, a significant amount of pathologic solutes or cells may be removed while the intravascular compartment remains relatively euvolemic. In an exchange procedure, replacement fluid or blood is given back to the patient to allow plasma or red cells to be removed. With any apheresis procedure, some type of anticoagulant is added to the circuit to ensure that blood flows freely. Centrifugation apheresis instruments use either a continuous or a discontinuous flow method to deliver blood to the separation device where blood cells and plasma are differentially sedimented according to their specific gravity. Continuous flow methods draw blood into the extracorporeal circuit, separate blood into components in the centrifugation chamber, divert the unwanted component into a collection bag, and return nonpathologic components to the patient without interruption. Discontinuous, or intermittent, flow methods accomplish the same steps but draw and process a discrete amount of blood into the extracorporeal circuit and then return the processed effluent before another discrete volume of blood is removed. Discontinuous procedures take a longer time than continuous procedures but require only single vein/catheter access [1]. The component to be collected is pumped from the device to a collection bag, and the remainder of the blood is returned, along with appropriate replacement fluid, to the patient. B: Circuitry and instrumentation for selective removal of pathogenic substance from the patient's plasma. The patient's anticoagulated blood is pumped to the separation device, and separated plasma is then delivered to the selective removal device. The purified plasma is then combined with the cellular portion of the patient's blood and returned to the patient. The extracorporeal membrane consists of either a flat plate or a hollow fiber with a pore size that excludes cellular components from the filtrate. The plasma that is separated in the instrument is diverted for disposal or treatment, whereas the other blood components are returned to the patient [2]. Specialized columns and instruments have been developed over the years to treat separated plasma, with the goal of selectively removing pathogenic proteins or other solutes [2,3]. Two different columns are approved for patients with familial hypercholesterolemia who have failed combination drug therapy. For solutes that move freely between intravascular and extravascular compartments, complete reequilibration between the compartments occurs at approximately 48 hours after a plasma exchange. Circulating blood cells also traffic between sites of vascular margination and/or splenic sequestration and this, in turn, can affect the efficiency of a therapeutic cytapheresis procedure. The rate of intravascular regeneration of a pathologic solute or blood cell population after apheresis also depends on the rates of synthesis or production and decay or cell death. Plasma exchange typically removes large molecules at a rate that greatly exceeds their natural synthetic rate; thus, a simple one-compartment mathematical model is used to predict the depletion of soluble plasma substances. Assumptions of the model are that the plasma removed is replaced with a fluid devoid of the target substance, and that complete mixing of the replacement fluid with the remaining intravascular plasma volume occurs [6]. The reliability of the one-compartment model to predict removal of soluble substances may be limited by conditions that cause an expanded plasma volume, such as paraproteinemia, molecules with rapid synthetic rates, and situations where rebound IgG production occurs, such as in the setting of humoral solid organ rejection due to a preformed antibody [7]. The one-compartment model predicts that approximately 60% of the soluble substance will be removed from the plasma with a 1× plasma volume therapeutic exchange, and approximately 80% will be removed with a 1. Because roughly 50% of IgG distributes to the extravascular space, reequilibration between the intravascular and extravascular compartments occurs between sequential procedures, and 6 or 7 1× volume exchanges are needed to deplete whole body IgG to less than 10% of the pretreatment level. By comparison, IgM is predominantly intravascular, and, therefore, only 3 or 4 1× volume exchanges are needed to deplete whole body IgM to less than 10%. Factors that may hinder the prediction include a rapid rate of cell production, such as occurs with untreated acute leukemia; the propensity of the spleen to sequester abnormal circulating cells or platelets; and miscalculation of the plasma volume of the patient. Current apheresis instruments limit both the anticoagulant (citrate or heparin) dose and rate of blood return based on the patient's total blood volume.
Sudden apparent loss of consciousness discount depakote 500 mg otc, occasionally with seizures 250mg depakote with visa, may be the first signal of arrest and requires prompt reaction generic depakote 250 mg without prescription. After determining unresponsiveness, the pulse is assessed by a health care provider for no more than 10 seconds. Compressions should be performed at a rate of 100 per minute, compressing the chest 2 inches with each repetition and allowing the chest to recoil fully. Interruptions to compressions should only be allowed for essential interventions, such as intubation or defibrillation. Meticulous attention to establishing an airway and supplying adequate ventilation is essential to any further resuscitative effort. The team leader must carefully monitor the adequacy of ventilation, as well as direct the resuscitative effort. Because considerable cervical hyperextension occurs, this method should be avoided in patients with cervical injuries or suspected cervical injuries. The jaw-thrust maneuver provides the safest initial approach to opening the airway of a patient with a cervical spine injury; it usually allows excellent airway opening with a minimum of cervical extension. The angles of the mandible are grasped using both hands and lifting upward, thus tilting the head gently backward. Rescue Breathing If spontaneous breathing is absent, rescue breathing with an airway– mask–bag unit must be initiated (see Chapter 8). If equipment is immediately available and the rescuer is trained, intubation and ventilatory adjuncts should be used initially. Each breath should be delivered during 1 second, allowing the patient's lungs to deflate between breaths. A rate of 10 to 12 breaths per minute is maintained for as long as necessary, with tidal volumes of approximately 600 mL. Delivering the breath during 1 second helps to prevent gastric insufflation compared with faster delivery. If the patient wears dentures, they are usually best left in place to assist in forming an adequate seal. If air cannot be passed into the patient's lungs, another attempt at opening the airway should be made. If subsequent attempts at ventilation are still unsuccessful, the patient should be considered to have an obstructed airway and attempts should be made to dislodge a potential foreign body obstruction. Chest Compressions Artificial circulation depends on adequate chest compression through sternal depression. The safest manner of depressing the sternum is with the heel of the rescuer's hand at the nipple line, with the fingers kept off the rib cage. It is usually most effective to cover the heel of one hand with the heel of the other, the heels being parallel to the long axis of the sternum. If the rescuer's hands are placed either too high or too low on the sternum, or if the fingers are allowed to lie flat against the rib cage, broken ribs and organ laceration can result. Although it is important to allow the chest to recoil to its normal position after each compression, it is not advisable to lift the hands from the chest or change their position. The rescuer's elbows should be kept locked and the arms straight, with the shoulders directly over the patient's sternum. This position allows the rescuer's upper body to provide a perpendicularly directed force for sternal depression. In large patients, a slightly greater depth of sternal compression may be needed to generate a palpable carotid or femoral pulse. At the end of each compression, pressure is released and the sternum is allowed to return to its normal position. Equal time should be allotted to compression and relaxation with smooth movements, avoiding jerking or bouncing the sternum. One rescuer, positioned at the patient's side, performs sternal compressions, while the other, positioned at the patient's head, maintains an open airway and performs ventilation. Lay people have not been routinely taught this method in the interest of improving retention of basic skills. When the rescuer performing compressions is tired, the two rescuers should switch responsibilities with the minimum possible delay. Awareness of these potential complications is important to the postresuscitative care of the arrest patient. Gastric distention and regurgitation are common complications of artificial ventilation without endotracheal intubation. These complications are more likely to occur when ventilation pressures exceed the opening pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter. Although an esophageal obturator airway may decrease the threat of distention and regurgitation during its use, the risk is increased at the time of its removal. To obviate this risk, the trachea should be intubated and protected with an inflated cuff before the esophageal cuff is deflated and the esophageal obturator removed. Complications of sternal compression and manual thrusts include rib and sternal fractures, costochondral separation, flail chest, pneumothorax, hemothorax, hemopericardium, subcutaneous emphysema, mediastinal emphysema, pulmonary contusions, bone marrow and fat embolism, and lacerations of the esophagus, stomach, inferior vena cava, liver, or spleen [46]. The more serious complications are unlikely to occur if proper hand position is maintained and exaggerated depth of sternal compression is avoided. Overzealous or repeated abdominal or chest thrusts for relief of airway obstruction are more likely to cause fractures or lacerations. Monitoring the Effectiveness of Basic Life Support the effectiveness of rescue effort is assessed regularly by the ventilating rescuer, who notes the chest motion and the escape of expired air. The adequacy of circulation is assessed by noting an adequate carotid pulse with sternal compressions. However, fixed and dilated pupils should not be accepted as evidence of irreversible or biologic death. In the sedated or ill patient, regurgitation of stomach contents into the pharynx is a frequent cause of respiratory arrest. Blood clots from head and facial injuries are another source of pharyngeal and upper airway obstruction. Even otherwise healthy people may have foreign body obstruction from poorly chewed food, large wads of gum, and so forth. The combination of attempting to swallow inadequately chewed food, drinking alcohol, and laughing is particularly conducive to pharyngeal obstruction. Children are also prone to airway obstruction by placing toys or objects such as marbles or beads in their mouths. Patients who experience partial obstruction with reasonable gas exchange should be encouraged to continue breathing efforts with attempts at coughing. A patient whose obstruction is so severe that air exchange is obviously markedly impaired (cyanosis with lapsing consciousness) should be treated as having complete obstruction. Patients who experience complete obstruction may still be conscious, but are unable to cough or vocalize.
As goal directed echocardiography is not designed to reliably detect this type of injury purchase depakote 500 mg without a prescription, the management team obtains immediate consultative echocardiography cheap 500mg depakote with amex, if there is clinical indication to do so 500mg depakote with visa. These are classified as multiple-path artifacts that are the result of reverberations between strongly reflective surfaces. When the ultrasound beam strikes an interface with large impedance mismatch between media, multiple reflections occur, especially if the interface is perpendicular to the direction of sound propagation. In the case of the ascending aorta, these commonly occur when the left atrium or right pulmonary artery are smaller in diameter than the ascending aorta. The source of the reverberation artifact is the interface between the posterior wall of the ascending aorta and the anterior wall of the left atrium or right pulmonary artery. Reverberations between this interface and the esophageal transducer may occur with the resultant linear reverberation artifact occurring in the aorta. The resulting linear artifacts do not correspond to anatomic structures, as they derive from reverberation between an interface and the ultrasonography transducer in esophageal position. These linear artifacts may be misidentified as intraluminal dissection flaps and lead to surgical intervention for a false positive result [110]. Multiply injured patients with thoracic injuries need to be comprehensively evaluated and their injuries prioritized and as a result, their successful care often requires a multidisciplinary approach. The treatment for thoracic injuries is evolving and requires a working knowledge of a number of both diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. As with almost all other traumatic injuries, the key to optimal treatment and outcomes is dependent upon having a high index of suspicion for the injury and to identify it early. The ability to competently manage all aspects of a critically injured patient is also important in effecting a successful overall outcome.

Leblanc D, Bouvet C, Degiovanni F, et al: Early lung ultrasonography predicts the occurrence of acute respiratory distress syndrome in blunt trauma patients. Few areas of the human body are as difficult to assess following injury or to monitor subsequently as is the abdomen, particularly in the obtunded or intubated patient. Much of the morbidity and mortality due to abdominal injury results from delay in recognizing conditions that can be corrected once identified. Furthermore, the resuscitation for traumatic abdominal injuries is now known to have systemic physiologic effects. Trauma surgeons have traditionally separated injured patients into those injured by blunt mechanisms such as car crashes and falls and those injured by penetrating mechanisms, which are subdivided into gunshot wounds or stabbings. Blunt trauma patients are more frequently managed nonoperatively, whereas penetrating trauma, particularly gunshots wounds, more often require operative exploration. There will be a tendency for the intensivist to consider these patients identical to the elective general surgical patient who has undergone a comparable operation. Although there are certainly areas of commonality, there are critical differences that must be considered. The general surgical patient will usually have only a single acute problem unlike the trauma patient who may have sustained injuries to multiple body regions and possibly more than one organ in the abdomen. These differences often lead to management problems and complications that would not be expected of the general surgical patient. This approach has grown out of the recognition that many trauma laparotomies are nontherapeutic as opposed to negative. For example, a laparotomy for hemoperitoneum that identifies a small liver laceration and a minor tear in the mesentery is certainly not a "negative" laparotomy, but if both injuries have stopped bleeding spontaneously, it is difficult to argue that the surgery was therapeutic. Operations are painful; they expose the patient to complications rates in older series of up to 41% [2] and in more recent studies of 14% [3]. Complications include wound infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, deep venous thrombosis as well as ileus, bowel obstruction, and incisional hernias. Nonoperative management of abdominal solid organ injury is appropriate only for hemodynamically stable patients whose injuries are identified by imaging. The elderly, in particular, have an increase in mortality with blood pressures lower that 110 to 120 mm Hg [4]. Certainly, patients who require ongoing resuscitation with blood and blood products or pressors to maintain normotension are not considered stable. Other factors to consider include tachycardia or metabolic acidosis, and if present, would also preclude a state of physiologic stability. Patients with severe head injuries or ischemic heart disease are often considered to be at high operative risk, but a failure of nonoperative management also poses a high risk of mortality [5,6].

One major problem I've had with the server we've been on for the past couple of months is the lag. Not low fps, but lag. People would constantly run around me, desync, and teleport back to where they were. This made playing very annoying for me especially.
Also the long connection times didn't help much either.
I decided to get another server at our old host, to see how good they are now with the latest DayZ Mod versions. They had pretty good connectivity in the past, but they lack any real support, so it was risky even testing them again, but i went ahead and did it, and EVERYTHING SEEMS GREAT!
Only issues i've had so far is the server just not showing up in the new DayzCommander, but its fine.
So, I have decided to switch hosts, the existing/old server will expire on August 9th, so you can plan on it til then.
The new server has the same feature, if not more. Since we are at a capable host now, i have reneabled 4 hour days, 2 hour nights. Some people wanted nighttime, now they have it.
The new IP is 18.104.22.168:3238
I am working on getting things such as remove clothing from bodies working.
I wasn't able to reimport the old database to the new host due to some changes. I was however able to get the vehicles moved over, so if you had a base on the old server up until last night, it should be on the new server.
Tents as well were copied over.
come join the new server! less lag!

text: Missouri's Deep-Water Bass Options September 30, 2010 The Show Me State is one of the nation's finest sources of enjoyable summertime angling -- provided that fishing deep doesn't intimidate you! Detailed here: a few of the best to try this summer. By Ed Harp Photo by Tom EvansSummertime fishing: The days are hot, the water's hot and the bass are only biting deep, if at all. Even worse, you don't like to fish at night. What to do? All is not lost. For one thing, not all the bass are as deep as you think. And even if they are there are deepwater options available, good ones in fact. You just need to know where to fish -- and with what -- to enjoy summer daytime bassing success.We'll cover five of the best in the state. All are accessible from major highways, have full service marinas, dining facilities, lodging and plenty of recreation for the family. LAKE TANEYCOMO Lake Taneycomo, near Branson, is best known as a trout lake, but it'll produce good largemouths under the right conditions. To fish Taneycomo's waters properly, you need to understand a little of her history. This White River impoundment began life as a warmwater fishery when the Power Site dam was built in 1913 on the river at Mile Marker 506.8. Forty-five years later, conditions changed. In 1958 the dam at Table Rock was completed; it's located at Mile Marker 528.8. In no time flat, Taneycomo was transformed into a coldwater lake. The water temperature dropped almost overnight. The frigid waters churning through the generators at Table Rock get the credit. (Or maybe, depending upon your point of view, the blame.) According to Bill Anderson, the Missouri Department of Conservation fisheries biologist assigned to the lake, Taneycomo is a great place for a big one. When asked, he defined "big one" as 6 pounds or better. (To be fair, however, it's not the best numbers lake.) Anderson, himself an avid angler, reports that the key to largemouth bass fishing here is the power-generation schedule. Because the water is so cold, the current flow affects the bass in a very immediate way. When the generation is slow or nonexistent, anglers will find most of the fish off the bank, holding near the deep, main lake ledges and along the main channel. Without a strong current flow the water warms and the bass seek relief in deepwater sanctuaries.Any of the usual deepwater lures will provoke strikes. Try jig and pig combinations in black and blue, silver or gold blade baits and Carolina rigged plastics. Lizards, creature baits and big worms are all popular and effective. The better colors are purple, watermelon and red flake against almost any translucent background. Drag or hop your lure along the shallow side of a ledge or channel. Every now and then allow the bait to drop over the edge of the break into deeper water. If the plant is generating, fish shallower areas. The generation chills the water very rapidly, causing the largemouths to look for any warmth they can find. In most cases, that'll be in spots with little or no current and lots of strong sunlight. Typical locations include boat docks, marinas, submerged brushpiles and rock.Work these areas with spinnerbaits, shallow-running crankbaits and even topwater plugs if the water is less than 10 feet deep. Match your lure color to the prevailing water clarity. If it's clear, throw light natural colors. If the water is stained, try bright colors and combinations of high contrasting colors.Professional guide Bill Babler, (417) 332-7016, has a very different view of summer bassin' on Taneycomo. He recommends ignoring the generation schedule and fishing the numerous coves and bays, especially those on the east side from the Old 65 Bridge to Forsyth. He points out that no matter the generation schedule, there's no current in the backs of these coves. And, even though the water ranges between very shallow to around 10 feet, deep the bass are usually holding shallow, and will hit shallow-running baits with abandon.One of his favorite lures for cove bass is a floating worm. Nothing fancy here: Tie a circle hook to your line, run the hook through the worm at the egg sac and toss it out. Let it float down to the bottom with no help from you. The ends will flutter and quiver as it falls. Bass like that.If the fish are hesitant or the bite is a bit slow, modify your worm by inserting a small nail into the head. Carpet tacks are just about right for most applications. The nail will cause the worm to spin slowly as it falls towards the bottom. Sometimes that spiraling action will do the trick. Another top producer is the venerable buzzbait. Throw it along the bank and at any visible cover you spot. Don't worry about what time it is or how bright the sun is shining -- they'll hit it. This lake gets a lot of fishing pressure. Babler reports that it's not unusual to see three or four boats, one lined up after the other, fishing along these coves. That amount of pressure conditions fish. You'll need to make modifications to your lures if you expect to be successful.Floating worms can be modified with a little dye. Don't always think about changing the tail color, however. Put stripes, spots, squares and spirals along the body of the worm. Give them something they haven't seen before. You can also make your buzzbait look and sound different on every pass. Modify it for a different sound, action and splash. An easy change to make is to bend the blades in or out. Bending the blades in will quiet the splash. Bending them out will increase the commotion. You can try changing the head or skirt color. Frankly, most buzzbaiters believe color, other than perhaps light and dark, is of no importance whatsoever. If you disagree, have at it. All you need are a few bottles of fingernail polish and several skirts in different colors. (For unique colors of nail polish, try fashion outlets catering to punk rockers and metalheads.)LAKE OF THE OZARKS LOZ is a top pick for big, healthy largemouths during the summer months, particularly if anglers follow a few common sense suggestions from Greg Stoner, the MDC fisheries biologist assigned to the impoundment. Lake of the Ozarks is nearly equally distant from St. Louis and Kansas City and south of both. It is a massive impoundment covering over 90 square miles of surface water. That is approximately 55,000 acres. Its shoreline's as long as the east coast of the United States. Not only is it huge, but it's old as well. Formed more than 70 years ago by damming of the Osage River it has evolved through many changes. If you're going to fish this freshwater ocean you need to know something about it. When they impounded the Osage River in 1931, fish habitat was not a top priority. Much of the timber was cut and sold. Some of it was weighted and sunk to the bottom of the reservoir. What little remained was burned. Standing timber was not even thought about, much less planned. All this directly affects the fishery, but not in ways you might first imagine. The pleasure boat traffic on Lake of the Ozarks is heavy to the point of being ridiculous. The craft are big and fast, and throw huge wakes and rollers. That makes fishing the main lake or anywhere the big boys are playing impossible. Said Stoner, "It's a safety issue, not a fishing issue." Now, that's not to say that the fish aren't under there somewhere along the channel. They probably are -- scared stiff, but there nonetheless. You just can't fish for them. It's time to go to Plan B.Plan B, according to Stoner, is to work up any of the deeper arms of the reservoir until you're beyond the range of the pleasure boats, at least the really big ones, and then fish what's left of the channel from that point until you run out of water. Some of his area suggestions include the Glaize, Niagua, and Gravois arms.Fish along channel swings, drops and ledges with an old-fashioned jig and pig combination. Every angler has a favorite color. With that in mind, it's hard to beat black and blue. If jigs don't work, try blade baits. Early and late in the day -- especially if you can get away on a weekday -- the fish will move shallow along the flats bordering the channels. At that time they're vulnerable to topwater baits like poppers, walking stick baits and buzzbaits. Lake of the Ozarks bass don't get as much pressure as do those on Taneycomo, but they still see a lot of lures. Pick a color they haven't seen before. Modify your baits. Make them think it's something brand new.TABLE ROCKLocated just north of the Arkansas state line and south of Springfield, Table Rock just may be the hottest pick of the bunch. It can be described as a classic highland reservoir: The waters are deep and clear, with a high number of inflowing tributaries. It's also characterized by large numbers of bluffs, points, cuts and bays. Table Rock is full of chunk rock and sand. All this is important to the fishery. On top of all that, it has a thriving forage base.Professional guide Pete Wenners,www.hookedonbass.com, opines that forage, coupled with water clarity, will be your key to hot weather, daytime largemouths. "If you can find some water that has a little color to it, they won't be so deep," he said. The best forage and water color in the lake during the dog days of summers will be found in the James River Arm of this massive reservoir. The water there is more fertile than most of the lake. It'll be a little darker, a little more stained, and the shad will be active. Wenners points anglers towards areas where channel swings and twists run into big gravel flats. It matters not if the swing is inside or outside. But there must be a flat, no exceptions. If there's large chunk rock in the area, so much the better. (Wenners believes that Table Rock largemouths relate more to rock than they do to wood.)He throws crankbaits that'll get down to the flat and bump along the bottom. Crank them that way until they drop off the channel break, over deep water. "That's when they'll bite," he said with certainty.Jigs are also an effective choice. The local favorite is a football head on a peanut butter and jelly body. (That's alternating strands of brown and purple on the skirt.) Work them as if they were a crankbait -- along the flat with a freefall over the channel edge. Wenners emphasizes that anglers shouldn't think the bass bite only early and late in the day. Some of his best catches come around noon. He attributes this to increased shad activity. Our Taneycomo expert agrees in general with his fellow guide. "The James River," was Babler's answer when he was asked where to fish for largemouth bass on Table Rock during the daytime in summer. (He also guides on Table Rock.)Babler does offer this tip, however. He opines that the Bear Den area is the very best spot on this lake. He suggests fishing around and over the countless humps that populate the Den. They can be easily located on any good lake map with a little help from your electronics.Almost as an afterthought, he added, "Tell them not to neglect the long points, either. They should start fishing them around the thermocline." That's usually near 26 feet.BULL SHOALSNot too far from Table Rock lies Bull Shoals Lake, right on the Arkansas border. It's endured some tough times, but they're over. This 45,000-acre impoundment may now be the bass hotspot in the state.A.J. Pratt, MDC fisheries management biologist for the lake, is very enthusiastic about the largemouth population. He reports that largemouth bass fishing in the lake looks good after several the down years. This improvement is due in large measure to a terrific spawn in 2002. "It's the second largest spawn since 1972," he replied, with obvious pride in his voice.That's good news -- real good news -- for 2005. Largemouths in southern Missouri grow to 15 inches (the legal limit) in about three years with a good forage base, which Bull Shoals has. The product of that 2002 spawn should easily be legal length by this month. They should offer anglers a huge number of keepers for their summer fishing.For daytime largemouth bassin,' Pratt recommends heading up the lake towards the very end of the impoundment, between Bee Creek and Forsyth. Fish the channel swings, twists and drops. Concentrate on those areas having 25 to 30 feet of water. Spend some time with your depth finder before you start casting. Try to find a brushpile or two along one of the swings. That shouldn't be difficult. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of them along the channel.The top bait on the lake is an old-fashioned Texas-rigged plastic worm. This is basic fishing. Work it around, into and through the brush. Early in the summer, try an 8-inch model; as the summer wears along, or if you're looking for a trophy, upsize the offering to a 10-inch worm. Color selection should be equally basic; black or purple works just fine.TRUMAN RESERVOIRA final choice, up north about halfway to Kansas City, is the Harry S. Truman Reservoir. It doesn't get as much press as some of the others, but it's a fine bass lake nevertheless. The bass fishing should be good in 2005, said MDC fisheries biologist Trish Yasger, who is assigned to the lake. She reports that sampling studies in 2004 indicated an excellent population of "big, fat, slick and obviously healthy" largemouths. She also reports a good shad spawn in 2004. Big, healthy bass with plenty to eat is about all it takes to make for some good fishing.If you're going to fish Truman during the day in July and August, you had better be in one of the major arms of the impoundment. The best are the Osage, Grand River, Tebo and Little Tebo arms. The deep water and heavy cover offer bass some protection from the elements. They fish much like the arms on Lake of the Ozarks and Table Rock. They'll also produce the same high-quality bass fishing.Well, there you have it. As this handful of great largemouth bass options suggests, the state offers great fishing for largemouths this month -- and anglers don't have to fish at night to enjoy it! Get Your Fish On. Plan your next fishing and boating adventure here.

Recently I've been playing NIN, and liking the job alot. I'm currently working on taking everything NIN has high skill in to the max (Ninjutsu, Parrying, Katana, Evasion and Throwing are all A- for NIN). Yet I recently noticed that most throwing ammunition is scarce, very expensive or takes an incredibly long time to obtain. So far the easiest shuriken to get are Manji Shuriken, but they are Lv48, and quite expensive to synthesize. The other options are Fuma (which only stack to 12), Nokizaru (which is rare) and Koga (which you obtain 1 from a long repeatable quest).
My suggestion I guess is, it would be nice to see NIN have more access to these higher level shuriken, possibly allowing Fuma to be stacked to 99, allowing Koga shuriken to be more easily obtainable, or lowering the amount needed/increasing the yield for existing recipes. Or simply coming out with a new shuriken to use.
I think this would be great, since I'm sure alot of people love NIN, but most nowadays think its way too expensive/troublesome to obtain shuriken for practical use. I think it would add a great addition to NIN while not letting that A- skill go to waste.
Thanks for reading!

Fish maths and Ruby's certificate
Today for maths we used our fingers to add to 10. We did 5 dots + 5 dots = 10 dots , 6 dots + 4 dots = 10 dots and 2 dots + 8 dots =10 dots. Look at the cool fish in the fish tank we made to show adding to ten. Ruby also received a certificate for excellent progress in reading.
