MEREDITH SEGAL / Hockessin, Delaware / Born April 6, 1978 in Bogota, Colombia
THE BEST THING ABOUT BEING AN HLAA MEMBER IS… knowing that I am not alone in what I am dealing with and that there are people who I can reach out to and know that together we can come up with a plan to get through the challenges. It helps to brainstorm with others who truly know what you're dealing with.
MY HEARING LOSS… My parents didn't discover my hearing loss until I had testing in kindergarten. I didn't get my first pair of bilateral hearing aids until first grade (I was 6). My hearing had always stayed the same until I got to high school and I knew once I was switched from in-the-ear to the behind-the-ear hearing aids, my hearing was worse. I qualified for a cochlear implant and got it March 5, 2013. I now have a cochlear implant in my left ear and wear a hearing aid in my right ear.
WHEN I WAS LITTLE, I WANTED TO BE A… basketball player (got a lesson in reality from my mom, who informed me that I couldn't be a professional basketball player because of my height—I was in either fourth or fifth grade).
MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY IS… spending time with my family, trips we took together, and getting to go to Honduras with my parents to get my new sister and brother!
I LOVE THE SOUND OF… thunder (until my cochlear implant I couldn't hear it at all). I love hearing my nephews and niece telling me they love me.
I MOST DEFINITELY AM NOT… taller than three feet (91 cm)!
I MISS… my dad and late orthopedic surgeon Dr Kopits.
PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED THAT I… took Taekwondo and broke a one-half inch thick board with my foot; that I used to take horseback riding lessons.
HAPPINESS IS… loving yourself and accepting the things that make you different.
I HAVE A FEAR OF… bugs and bats. Also, I am wary of dogs tails—especially if they are wagging. I have been knocked off my feet with a dog's tail!
I WOULD LOVE TO MEET… my birth parents (my adoption was a closed adoption).
WORKING NINE TO FIVE… I worked for Discover Card, Kmart (seasonal), Kohl's (seasonal), assistant to the manager of my ENT doctor's practice (before my hearing got really bad) and as a volunteer at the local hospital in their mail room.
I AM… a little person, a loyal friend and loving.
KINDEST THING SOMEONE HAS DONE FOR ME… In my senior year in high school we had a banquet and all the senior guys got on their knees to dance with me. That same year the senior class took a trip to New York City. One teacher said I couldn't go unless my mom came with us because if my scooter broke down, I would be a liability. My friends found out what this teacher said and they told him that if my scooter broke down they would carry it back to the bus and load it, and would carry me around! He wouldn't budge and told them I would be a liability. They said "no, you are the liability, not Meredith." When the senior trip day came, about 50-75 percent of the senior class choose to not go on the class trip as a direct result of what the teacher said.
I like all the feature articles in Hearing Loss Magazine, especially the Seen & Heard profiles of people with hearing loss.

CAROL HALLA Charleston, SC / born January 3 in Evanston, IL
MY HEARING LOSS…I started losing my hearing in both ears rapidly while I was in the Air Force, stationed in Hawaii, when I was 26. I was tested extensively. Over the course of the next 10 years, my hearing loss continued to deteriorate. It would seem to level off only to drop again. No definite cause was ever found, but a lot of scary stuff was ruled out. Through the 80s and 90s I wore increasingly large and powerful hearing aids and remained on active duty. After my retirement from the Air Force in '97, my industrial strength hearing aids no longer provided the benefit I needed.
I felt the frustration, isolation, and grief that only a person with a profound hearing loss can truly understand. When I found out that I was a possible candidate for either one or two cochlear implants, I was at a total loss as to what to do. After doing my own research, working with the helpful folks at the Veterans Administration, our local CI center, and receiving a wealth of information, I took a giant leap of faith and had my CI surgery in July 2010. Now, I wear one CI on the left ear and a hearing aid on the right ear.
SAGE ADVICE…Educate and advocate for yourself! If you need a hearing aid, wear it and take pride in not allowing yourself to be too stubborn, shy or self-conscious. Be up front with your friends and family—they should offer the most support—but only if they are fully informed! Don't give up easily—most hearing aids are programmable or adjustable to fit your needs.
FUNNY HEARING LOSS MOMENT…Last year during my annual routine mammogram, when the technician had placed me in the position then went behind the screen to activate the machine, she said over her shoulder what I thought was "say cheese!" But what she really said was "don't breathe!" Too funny! We both cracked up.
WHEN I WAS LITTLE, I WANTED TO BE…a vet because I love animals.
PETS? Yes—three crazy furball cats—Snickers, Doodles and Katie.
THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER DONE…During my Air Force career, I deployed to the Persian Gulf twice. The first time I lived in a tent in the desert for seven months with 2 other women. The bathroom facilities were one-quarter mile from our tent and were—shall we say—very primitive! The second time it was an apartment-type dwelling in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with a different group of women for four months. When I got home each time, I really appreciated all the little comforts of home—like my own bathroom!
I LOVE THE SOUNDS OF…With my new CI, I never tire of hearing the birdsong in my backyard. After activation, the sounds blew me away and brought tears to my eyes.
IN MY SPARE TIME, I…love to read, follow my friends on Facebook and the Hearing Journey, work in the yard on a nice day, continue organizing old pictures, crafts and learning more about my new Canon camera.
PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED THAT I…completed three marathons while I lived in Hawaii.
WHO HAS HAD THE MOST INFLUENCE IN YOUR LIFE? Other than my parents, it's my loving husband of 28 years, Bruce.
I HAVE A WEAKNESS FOR…vintage jewelry.
I COLLECT…dust bunnies under the furniture (shhh!).
MY FAVORITE COLOR IS…sunny yellow—a real mood lifter.
FIVE PLACES I HAVE LIVED…Wilmette, IL; Stuttgart, Germany; Selma, AL; Aiea, Hawaii; Rapid City, SD; Las Vegas, NV; Charleston, SC. Okay, that's more than five, but who's counting?
WORKING NINE TO FIVE…drug store clerk, shoe store clerk, Pizza Hut waitress, 22-year Air Force career, inventory management at an engineering company
I AM… stubborn, persistent and caring.
I HAVE THE UNCANNY ABILITY TO…think the same thing my husband is thinking at the same time. Great minds think alike, right?
I SIMPLY CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT…love and hugs.
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED…as someone who looked for the good in people without being judgmental.
"I love the interviews and articles in Hearing Loss Magazine. I love reading about how other people are successful in what they chose to do and don't let hearing loss rule their world."
We'll be heading out to Boyce, Virginia to the Blandy Experimental Farm to check out the Ginkgo grove this coming Saturday, so maybe I'll have new fall photos to post!

"They say we dream in black and white. And the world we see with open eyes has colors. How about merging of both worlds, fantasy and reality and have more choices?! Never the less, we keep juggling between the both. Either way you dice it, sometimes we have dreams and other times dreams have us. Who knows we are simply visitors to both the worlds, within and without."
So lets make the most of both worlds!

The state has launched a new website to help corral donations for areas in West Africa afflicted by the Ebola virus.
The first donations as a result of the partnership between the Department of Business and Economic Development, other state agencies, nonprofit and private groups shipped last week, according to DBED. They included more than $60,000 worth of medical supplies, including protective suits, syringes and rehydration solution from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, Potomac-based Creatv Microtech and Cera Products, which funded part of its gift through the Child Health Foundation of Maryland.
DBED Secretary Mike Gill said in a statement the effort reinforces DBED's relationship with the private sector, as well as other work in the fight against Ebola happening in the state. The website includes a list of needed items developed by Liberia's Health Ministry.
"Maryland is on the front lines of fighting the Ebola virus, from early clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health to a number of Maryland companies developing vaccines," said DBED Secretary Mike Gill. "This effort, bringing together government, non-profits and the private sector, is another way that we can give health care workers in West Africa the tools and resources that are so critically needed to help save lives."
The idea grew out of discussions held after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, when John "Jock" T. Menzies, the late head of the Terminal Corp. and founder of the American Logistics Aid Network approached DBED willing to ship donations, said Tim LaValle, DBED director of general services.
"That always stuck with me," said LaValle, who organized the effort. "Unfortunately we couldn't help out with hospital beds, but when this crisis came on board the first thing I thought about was Jock."
Other groups involved in the effort include the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA); the Governor's Office of Community Initiatives (GOCI); International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC); as well as LIFT, a not-for-profit logistics provider that is working with the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN), Airlink and The Terminal Corp. of Baltimore.

This year I was joined by a group of friends and together we walked the new route which took us through the forest and past ancient trees felled by the winter windstorm. At the end came a delicious gourmet picnic lunch and great musical entertainment. Enjoy some great photos of the day!

The artwork on this note card was created by 5768 WRJ Art Calendar artist Césan d'Ornellas Levine.
On Monday, April 23rd, the RAC sent a letter to the Trump Administration urging them to reconsider their proposed short tearm health plan, which would weaken consumer protections for health services and raise costs for the sickest and most vulnerable among us.
Read our letter below:
Dear Administrator Verma,
On behalf of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose 900 congregations across North America include 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of Americans Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 2,000 Reform rabbis, I write to express our strong opposition to the proposed rule on short-term, limited-duration health insurance. The Reform Movement is actively working toward a health care system that enables all Americans to access high quality, affordable care. Expanding the scope of short-term insurance plans will damage our country's progress toward that goal.
The Affordable Care Act made many laudable changes to the health care system to protect consumers. At the same time, the law is imperfect. Too many families who use the individual marketplace cannot access the choice and affordability they deserve. However, short-term plans are the wrong solution. These plans are notoriously difficult to understand, leaving consumers without the coverage they think they will receive and vulnerable to financial calamity. Furthermore, these plans will bifurcate the health insurance risk pools between people who use short-term insurance and those who remain in the private marketplace. Those who stay in the individual market are likely to be the sickest and most in need of comprehensive care—and will likely face higher costs as healthy people leave their risk pool. President Trump has promised to protect people with preexisting conditions, but this rule would renege on that promise.
Our Jewish tradition teaches that God did not divide creation between the sick and the well, between those who can afford health care and those who cannot, between those who are entitled to health care and those who are not. God created all of us, endowed us with equal rights, and charged us with the responsibility to be partners in the act of healing. These beliefs inspire our conviction that a person's health should not determine the type of care they receive. We believe that at a time when 30 million Americans still lack insurance, and millions more struggle to afford the insurance they do have, government should seek solutions that will allow all people, including those with preexisting conditions, to receive comprehensive, affordable, and quality care.
Opening up access to short-term health plans will do little to strengthen our health care system for consumers, instead making insurance costlier and less comprehensive for many. Expanding reinsurance, widening eligibility for premium tax credits, and reinstating enrollment support funding would be more effective mechanisms for cost-containment in the individual market. We oppose the proposed rule and urge the administration to enact policies that will benefit people most in need of assistance.

Director, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism

Specialty retailer The Wet Seal, Inc. and WRWB, Rochester's WB 16 will host Eden's Crush on Friday, Novevember 9 at 2:30 – 4 p.m. at the Mall of Greece Ridge in Rochester, NY. The girls will sign autographs while the store will gave away prizes.
Eden's Crush in FHM
Got my copy of November's FHM magazine which focuses on music, including Eden's Crush. FHM asks each Eden's Crush member 10 questions including Ivette Sosa being asked if she'd make out with rocker Marilyn Manson. Sosa says, "Eww, no. I'm not even sure what Marilyn Manson is. Is it a man, a woman, or an alien?" Nicole Scherzinger told FHM when she's 'in the mood' she listens to "Coldplay. I've listened to that album at least a million times. But when I'm really in the mood, it's Massive Attack." …Best looking photo of the group? Maile Misajon, who's wearing spiked heels, thong panties, and a lace and very sheer top, all in black.
Eden's Crush Tells Popstars 2: Be Thankful
Launch.com talked to Eden's Crush singer Ivette Sosa about the new batch of males and females vying in Popstars 2 and what advice she had for them. Sosa says, "Be thankful to be there, to audition, and having the chance to sing. And if it doesn't work out, don't stop, keep going, keep singing, follow your dreams. Things happen for a reason, and if it doesn't happen at this time, it will happen later."
Top Eden's Crush August Search Queries
Popstars Eden's Crush managed nearly 14,000 search queries on Goto.com in August and amazingly, 'Eden's Crush nude' didn't get the number 2 spot as is typical of the young female genre. Eden's Crush lyric was in the second spot with 1,860 searches, while only 152 searches were for Eden's Crush nude. Their most searched for song? 'Love This Way'.

GCMH Forms Partnership with General Electric
Last Updated on Apr 7, 2015 at 12:25pm |
Health & Social
"What's Happening" is a regular feature of
The Lake-Front magazine
and is being reprinted here in its entirety with permission. This article originally appeared in the April 2015 issue.
Garrett County Memorial Hospital
and General Electric have entered into a contract agreement that will upgrade and replace the critical care monitors for the Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Department, Surgical Suite, Post Anesthesia Care Unit, and the Same Day Surgery Unit. Also included in the critical care equipment package are three new ventilators and two new c-arms for Radiologic/Surgical procedures.
"Technology is one of the most important tools in healthcare. I think it's important that the hospital have the latest technology to offer the community," explained Mark Boucot, GCMH President and CEO. "Providing high quality healthcare requires having state of the art technology available to the physicians and staff."
Boucot went on to explain, "This deal with General Electric provides GCMH with technological infrastructure for the most advanced critical care monitoring available and will carry us into the future with the new construction project. It will also give doctors remote access to rapidly assist in care."
Hospital-wide upgrades will provide standardization of equipment so that all departments are on the same platform. Innovative advancements in technology allow the physicians to better diagnose and treat patients. It has the potential to save countless lives and improve the overall quality of life.
"We see, firsthand, every day, the impact that improved equipment has in the lives of our patients. It's everywhere; from our phones, to our laptops, to our x-ray machines to defibrillators. Funding of new technology is always a challenge and often requires lengthy and savvy negotiations with medical suppliers to achieve our objectives. We do take a proactive approach to advancing our service lines as with the recent grant funding for telehealth services," said Boucot.
GCMH was recently awarded a $62,000 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission to fund telehealth services. The funding will allow for the purchase of four new telehealth units to improve the community's access to specialty medical services and consults from larger hospitals. As many community residents simply cannot afford to travel the long distances for specialized treatment, they often go without proper medical care as a result. This will allow patients to receive the same care as patients at a larger facility.
"I think it's exciting that GCMH is in a growth mode and moving forward at an unprecedented level. These upgrades and advancements are a major investment on behalf of Garrett County Memorial Hospital, and they signify a real commitment to provide the best possible care to the patients of the Garrett region of Western Maryland. This technology advancement will carry GCMH well into the future. With structural improvements, increased square footage, and state of the art equipment, we can improve diagnostic capabilities, increase efficiency of services, provide a more comfortable and positive patient experience, and continue to ensure excellent care of our patients. GCMH will have the ability to meet the community's need for quality healthcare and allow patients to spend less time in the hospital and more time enjoying life," said Boucot.
"Garrett Memorial is on a road of continuous quality improvement and service excellence. We are constantly looking for new ways to improve the access to care as well as enhance the quality of care available locally," concluded Boucot.

Oh sweet, thanks for the tip.
I have that Puma Blues collection. Or a Puma Blues collection. If it's Dover, I never noticed.

If it's the 2015 one with the new ending, that's the Dover one.There's only one Vertigo book in that lineup, really - Mercy was a Touchmark refugee, but probably came along with the Seekers rights when they were dealing with deMatteis.
― kelp, clam and carrion (sic), Thursday, 28 June 2018 02:00 (one year ago) link
Yeah, that's the Puma Blues edition I have. It's a nice big hardcover, which is not what I generally associate with Dover.
Delano's World Without End was a proto-Vertigo DC mature readers title.

The Charyn/Boucq graphic novels are all essential, esp The Magician's Wife - just a shame the page size is smaller than on the original Catalan translations.

It ain't been what it once was for many a moon, but still...RIP(?) Vertigo.

If true, it feels inevitable, but still sad.
And that 25th Anniversary celebration book didn't even materialise!

I'm sure Morrison will be given carte blanche to do whatever he wants to do under the regular DC banner, but I'm not sure he'd want to given the changes they made to creator contracts a while back.
I mean, there's not much material change, as whatever little wisp of Vertigo currently remaining doesn't in any way resemble what it was back in the day, and since (as far as I can tell) the Vertigo-esque/Vertigo-lite stuff they've been publishing lately (eg Gerard Way's Young Animal stuff, the Sandman-verse titles) are unaffected. Even though the line has been a bloated drunken shut-in for most of its existence, I still mourn for the impact it had in its sleek and jaunty youth.

I think the last Vertigo comic I bought before Seaguy was the third issue of The Invisibles. Inbetween was my "comics, they ARE just for kids" snooty teenage phase.
TBH, as a kid, Vertigo's biggest draw was the extra boobs in SHADE.

Been reading <i>The Unwritten</i>, got to Volume 3 and gotdamn this series has gotten good. Issue #17, "The Many Lives of Lizzie Hexam - A Pick-a-Story Book!" is a marvel.

I know. I just wanted to enthuse to somebody about this series. Also, I figure sooner or later DC will have another brainfart and dig the name back up, probably within five years.

just noting for thraed posterity!
― don't care didn't ask still clappin (sic), Tuesday, 28 January 2020 03:09 (four months ago) link
The Unwritten was great for a while, but IMO it went on a bit too long and got a bit too meta (even for a series whose whole premise is about metafiction), Carey should've wrapped it up a bit earlier. Still, it's definitely the best post-90s Vertigo title that I've read.

If you lose your job without having committed any fault, you will find this situation most stressful. We will not talk about dismissal. Your employer will have let you leave because of a shortage of work, the end of a seasonal job or a massive layoff due to an economic slowdown.
Fortunately, there are many ways you can deal with becoming suddenly and unexpectedly unemployed.
Employment insurance
The government is providing support to the unemployed through the employment insurance program. Basically, this program offers benefits to people who have recently lost their jobs. To ensure their eligibility, individuals must have lost their position without any responsibility on their part, and must be able to work.
Employment Insurance will provide them with consistent benefits until they can find another job. In order to guarantee them benefits, they will apply for Employment Insurance within four weeks of their last day of work. They will submit their documents immediately after the loss of their employment.
They will also have to actively look for work during this period of unemployment. A government social worker may request documents that prove their research. They will then have to keep a written list of employers they have contacted to show that they meet this requirement.
They will not receive employment insurance if they decide to leave their jobs themselves or if their misconduct has resulted in dismissal. However, those who work in the fishing industry, those who wish to take care of a family member or even the self-employed can receive benefits through another program.
Find a new job
The government also assists those looking for work. First, they operate a nationwide job bank and list positions available to the public service. Second, they refer job seekers to federal hiring programs. You can find these opportunities by visiting the National Job Bank website. You will also be able to sign up for alerts that will let you know if an employer is posting a job that matches your skills.
Even if you work, you may want a little more money to recover financially. Why not apply for a loan online? Only one pay stub and one bank statement will fit for the purpose. Once you start working again, you will use your next check to pay it back. In this way, a new job and two checks to your credit will allow you to resume the normal course of your life as a worker.

Stratasys will use this year's Hannover Messe (April 1-5) to announce important product news.
Stratasys will also unveil new details of a global manufacturing customer enjoying unique material benefits, as well as significant time and cost savings from deploying its 3D printing solutions across its production process.
In addition to these announcements, visitors can look forward to up-close demonstrations of the company's latest PolyJet and FDM additive manufacturing solutions. Visitors will see a series of complex 3D printed parts from a range of industries and learn about diverse application possibilities – from ultra-realistic fully-functional prototypes, to tooling and final part-production.
One such example is global cleaning technology leader, Kärcher, which is leveraging the multi-material, full-color 3D printer, the Stratasys J750, for the production of highly-precise prototypes for its EASY!FORCE trigger gun. Kärcher has seen reductions in lead times compared to traditional methods, which has enabled it to redistribute efficiency savings across the production floor and accelerate time-to-market for other products.
Similarly, Stratasys will showcase how plastic part manufacturer, Elkamet, is experiencing benefits from using the FDM-based Fortus 450mc Production 3D Printer to overcome the limitations of traditional low volume tool production by 3D printing lighter, one-off tools on-demand customized to production needs. This has seen Elkamet shorten the production lead times of tools, such as gauges, by up to 75%.
As part of its activities at Hannover Messe, Stratasys' Frank Schäflein will deliver an insightful free-to-attend keynote address entitled, "How to enhance production processes with Stratasys additive manufacturing technology". Taking place on Thursday 4th April at 4:30pm in Hall 4, Booth E44 (Forum Industrial Supply), this session will offer a closer look at how companies can exploit the full potential of the technology to enjoy improved cost- and time efficiencies throughout the production process.

Today was going to be a bit of a problematic day. The
group was divided as to what course the next leg should take.
Bill & Dave wanted to go south, whereas Ray and Alex wanted to
go back inland. Little Dave had already left that morning for
Shanghai because he had an early flight to catch.
So in reality it was down to me, which way would I go - back
inland to see Confucius' home town, or cycle along the sea and get
in some more miles. I must admit that it was a tough
decision. The idea of seeing Confucius' home town was very
seductive, however, I haven't been doing that much cycling in the
past few months and the idea of a few more miles under the belt was
more appealing, irrespective of the cycling conditions.
[Saying Goodbye to Alex & Ray]
So in the end, we said goodbye to Ray and Alex and boarded a
ferry to get us to the other side of the Qingdao bay towards

The scenery wasn't all that eventful on the ferry, but I did
manage to spot a cargo ship registered in Valletta - it's always
pleasant to see a reminder of my home placated on the side of a

We took a few wrong turns and ended up in the middle of a port
city stinking of rotting and salted fish. I can't say those
few kilometres were very pleasant, but when we eventually found the
right way towards Jiaonan the road improved, as did our speed.
Finding a hotel wasn't a problem and after a few minutes of
navigating we were lucky to get a local to offer and lead us
there. In actual fact, we were quite surprised to find such a
nice hotel surrounded by such awful scenery - very industrial and
[We can almost see our beds for the night]
If it was cycling we were after, we certainly got that
today. With an early start, we arrived a little after 3pm and
had plenty of time to look around the local shopping complex which
was part of the hotel. The star attraction of the day though,
was the all you could eat buffet which had something for
everyone. For me, that was the vegetarian sushi and plenty of
wasabi :)

Grasshoppers president says he was blackmailed by own fans
ZURICH, May 13 (Reuters) - The president of fallen Swiss giants Grasshopper Zurich wants tougher sentences for football hooligans and has said he was "blackmailed" by the club's own fans on Sunday.
Angry Grasshopper supporters threatened to storm the pitch after their team fell 4-0 behind to Lucerne in a Swiss Super League match, forcing a match involving the team to be called off for the second time in two months.
If the result is confirmed by the Swiss Football League disciplinary commission, the 27-times Swiss champions will be relegated, ending an unbroken 68 years in the top flight.
"I will look to speak to politicians and the federation. We need action now," Stephan Rietiker told a news conference on Monday. "A mix of repression and dialogue is needed. It is a society problem.
"In this country, car drivers get tougher punishments than hooligans."
Dozens of fans moved to the front of the terraces and threatened to storm the pitch after Lucerne's fourth goal and Rietiker said he had no option but to talk to them.
The fans demanded the players hand over their shirts as they were "not worthy" of wearing them - a demand to which the club agreed.
"The intention was to calm things down," said Rietiker. "I went against my heart and agreed to giving up the shirts. It was the best thing to do in this situation otherwise we could have had hooligans in the dressing-room."
"Clear threats were been made by fans. It was clear blackmail. But I had to weigh things up. There was not much police there. I decided to fulfil the jersey gesture."
Coach Uli Forte, meanwhile, said he would stay with the club for next season's campaign in the second tier.
Swiss football has been plagued by fan violence over the years, far removed from the Alpine nation's reputation for peace and order.

Factors to Consider when Getting a House Cleaning Software
Since there is no need of us cleaning the house and end up redoing it because we are not pleased with the look after cleaning in the first place when one decides to perfectly clean his or her house it is important to first look at the ways and things that we will use when cleaning a house for the purpose of doing to our desire. For one to have their house cleaned perfectly as they desire because one will be at a position to hire the best cleaning company which will do it per one's desire one should consider the following tips.
It is good for one to consider the enquiring from the friends and family members concerning the best house cleaning software since some of our family members and friends may be well informed concerning the best cleaning software for the house and how to get it. Therefore, one should have the opportunity to here from others concerning the best house cleaning software and how to hire it for them to be on the safe side when deciding on which one to hire to avoid the issues like disappointments and having the house not done as per their desire.
It is also important for one to consider having a list of house cleaning software companies for them to narrow it down and end up getting the one that they desire for their house since when doing comparison one ends up getting the best than when one just goes to the company and selects it. Hence before doing any payments or even contacting it it is important to have a list of several house cleaning software that will guide you in having the best one that you desire for the purpose that you need it for.
Since some companies tend to overcharge for their services though they are good but others that are cheap while they offer very poor services are still there when trying to get a house cleaning software it is also good to consider the cost of hiring it and weigh it against the work that you have in terms of the size of your house and how dirty it is for you to be able to choose then one that fits your wish. Therefore, it is good to look at the price of hiring the service for one to have a better plan on how to make their payments and which company's charge fits them.
Finally, one may also consider the availability of the house cleaning software since there are some which are ever occupied hence letting one spend a lot of time on waiting for them every time which they could use to do other beneficial things in that they just minding about the company and when they will do the work from them. Therefore, it is good for one to have a look at the schedule before proceeding to make payments for them to be at a position to plan well and efficiently too since one may get mad with such companies that do not tell the truth when busy.

Heart Disease is the Silent Killer of Women
Heart disease and stroke is a leading cause of death among women in Canada. More women than men die from heart disease and stroke.
Heart disease has long been thought of as a man's disease, but this idea is mistaken. Heart disease or stroke will kill one out of every two women. Compare this to breast cancer, which kills one out of every 25 women.
42% of women who have a heart attack die within one year, compared to only 24% of men. And, we are starting to hear about women under 40 having strokes, or heart attacks!
Q – What are the risk factors for women between the ages of 30 and 50?
The main risk factors for heart disease in women aged 30 to 50 include:
- High total cholesterol, high LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and low HDL ("good") cholesterol
- High triglycerides
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Obesity
Unfortunately, these risk factors are really only a marker of underlying silent inflammation. If you have one of the above risk factors for heart disease, you have silent inflammation. Silent inflammation is the initial trigger of atherosclerosis, or the buildup of plaque, that is the hallmark feature of coronary heart disease. Silent inflammation is also intimately involved with all of the risk factors for heart disease—silent inflammation leads to, and is worsened by, the risk factors of heart disease mentioned above.
When we understand that the underlying cause of heart disease is silent inflammation, we can then address heart disease by going all the way back to the beginning. Instead of placing the focus on treatment of the markers of heart disease (high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc.), if we first focus on quelling the underlying inflammation, we can be much more successful at steering clear of this potentially fatal disease before it has a chance to develop. This becomes clear when we consider the alarming fact that 50 percent of people who die of a heart attack have normal cholesterol levels. Something is missing.
Q- How does a woman know she is having a heart attack?
The symptoms of a heart attack in women differ from those in men. Men tend to experience the classic heart attack symptoms of chest pain and chest pressure.
Women experience subtle symptoms like:
- Anxiety
- Arm Pain
- Back Pain/ Chest Pain
- Cold Sweats
- Dizziness
- Indigestion
- Jaw Pain
- Nausea
- Shortness of breath
- Sleep disturbance
- Unusual fatigue
- Weakness
A survey of 52 women found that pain of the jaw, arm, back, chest, shortness of breath, fatigue, nausea and sweating were all reported as acute symptoms by women who had experienced heart attack.
Q – What can women do to keep their hearts healthy and strong?
Know your numbers. If you have high total cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and/or are overweight or obese, you have silent inflammation. To address silent inflammation there are three important dietary and lifestyle factors to address:
- Track your sugar intake. The sugar consumption of most Canadians is way out of control. High sugar intake leads to high blood sugar levels, which creates silent inflammation and leads to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, increasing waistline, and to heart disease itself. To maintain a healthy blood sugar level, your body requires only 10 teaspoons of sugar daily—from added sugar, natural sugars, and carbohydrates (especially refined and processed carbs) that break down into sugar in the body. Track your teaspoons of sugar daily to stay within a heart-healthy range. Having a high sugar level creates silent inflammation—and high BP and high cholesterol.
- Address digestive imbalance. A little-known fact is that your digestive system—home to up to 80 percent of your immune system and ten times more bacterial cells than cells of your body—is a main source of silent inflammation. As one example of many, gut bacterial imbalance has been found in people with type 2 diabetes, a major risk factor for heart disease.[i] Digestive conditions, and disruptions in the bacterial balance of the gut, must be addressed as the root source of silent inflammation that affects systems of the body seemingly unrelated to the gut. The digestive system is at the heart of perfect health. As the Diva of Digestion, I highly recommend a probiotic daily.
- Eat more fat. That's right! —Many people think fat is bad, but that's a myth. There are good fats and bad fats, and the average Canadian eats far too many bad fats (in the form of saturated and trans fats, and the omega-6 fatty acids) and too far too few good fats (in the form of omega-3 fatty acids, the beneficial fats found in fish, flax, and walnuts). Minimize saturated fats, eliminate trans fats, and increase your intake of heart-healthy omega-3 fats—especially those found in fish oil. Researchers from Harvard University have estimated that 84,000 deaths could be prevented by adequate omega-3 intake.[ii]
Naturopathic doctor, Brenda Watson, C.N.C. has dedicated her career to helping people achieve vibrant, lasting health through improved digestive function. A dynamic health advocate, she is among the foremost authorities today on optimum nutrition and digestion, natural detoxification methods, and herbal internal cleansing. A New York Times best-selling author of seven books, Brenda continues to educate people about the digestive connection to total-body health. Her fifth PBS special, "Heart of Perfect Health" currently airs nationally. She also contributes regularly to various magazines, television and radio programs, as a natural health expert.

The techniques you tried above will not work since the requirement the frequency of each choice be equal is incompatible with randomness. A uniform distribution over the integers 1 to 5 with enough samples will result in *apporoximately* equal numbers of each but not *exactly* equal numbers of each integer. If you require equal numbers of each sample, you can achieve some semblence of randomness by using a random permutation.

Chandigarh (Kulbir Singh Kalsi):
Punjabi music industry is blessed with the talented people who know what resonates with the audience. They know the kind of songs people love and the right timing to drop them. However, there are very few singers in the industry who have tried to give relevant songs every single time. BJay Randhawa is one such name. Starting his career with songs like Theth Gabru, Star, Pegg, etc. that clicked with the youngsters, he moved to performance based numbers like By God and Fitoor where he gave us a reason to love him even more. With Hello Friends, he tried his hands at direction and little did we know that the singer is set to surprise us yet again in his very next outing. He has recently released a duet with the queen of Punjabi music industry Miss Pooja, titled Nature.THE SONG RELEASED UNDER THE T.O.B. GANG LABEL AND MARKS HIS DUET DEBUT WITH MISS POOJA
Sung by BJay Randhawa and Miss Pooja, Nature's lyrics have been written by Karan Aujla. The catchy music is given by Gupz Sehra. The video shows sweet banter between a couple and stars BJay Randhawa opposite Nikeet Dhillon. The video is directed by Dilsher Singh and Khushpal Singh of Trumakers. It is produced by Prabhjot Kaur Mahant under the T.O.B. Gang label.
Talking about the song, BJay Randhawa said, "I have sung quite a few songs and have been lucky enough that they have been loved by all. However, this is the first time I have tried a duet. Everybody knows that Miss Pooja is probably the biggest female vocalist of Punjabi music industry. It was an honour to get a chance to work with her. You definitely inherit so many things and habits from your parents and this is a cute song about that. Unlike my previous songs that were meant for youngsters to dance on, Nature is a family song. You can take your parents along with you on the dance floor to enjoy this song. I had so much fun shooting for it as well. I hope people will love the song because this will encourage me to try new things in future as well."
Dilsher Singh and Khushpal Singh of Trumakers, the directors of the video told, "Nature is very different from BJay Randhawa's usual songs. Most of the people think of him as a singer who makes songs for the young and party-freak audiences. But this time he has given a very cute and family-oriented track. We had a ball of time shooting for it. BJay is a natural performer and so is Nikeet, the girl opposite him and it was a smooth ride. We are sure the video will bring a smile to your face."
"We always encourage our talent to explore beyond just their comfort zone. BJay Randhawa has tried everything, from stunts to anchoring to singing and performing. When BJay (Randhawa) had shared his wish to direct the song we had supported him. Now, he wanted to do a duet. Miss Pooja is an unmatchable talent of the industry. It was challenging to sing alongside her but BJay has delivered beyond our expectations. Nature is a complete package song, a song you can enjoy with your family. We, at T.O.B. Gang, are proud to be associated with such artists", said Prabhjot Kaur Mahant, the producer of the song and Managing Director of T.O.B. Gang.

Commodity markets signal much more to comeNFU Scotland has welcomed positive milk price moves in recent weeks and believes that commodity prices indicate that a farmgate price of 30p per litre is achievable.NFU Scotland's Milk Committee visited First Milk's headquarters in Paisley yesterday (12 June). The farmer-owned First Milk announced a milk price increase of 1.2p per litre for July taking its price on a liquid standard litre (4% butterfat and 3.3% protein) to 27.20p, whilst the manufacturing standard litre (4.2% butterfat and 3.4% protein) will be 28.12ppl. Recent welcome price announcements from Muller and Arla also reflect the strengthening seen in all dairy commodity prices. Speaking from Paisley, Milk Committee Chairman John Smith, a dairy farmer from Campbeltown, said: "We firmly believe that a farmgate price of 30p per litre is achievable. It is essential that all parts of the supply chain ensure strengthening markets are reflected quickly in prices. "There are many different milk contracts out there and achieving all the quality and production bonuses will be a challenge for some, but the tone of the market is definitely changing. More increases must follow as futures markets and physical sales of commodities are both very positive. "All processors must take this opportunity to build trust in their pricing models by increasing farmgate prices at a pace and magnitude that reflects where the market is."Key price indicators, the Actual Milk Price Equivalent (AMPE) and Milk for Cheese Value Equivalent (MCVE) now sit at an average of more than 33p per litre. Prices for milk powders, butter and cream are all up by more than 10 percent in the past month. "That justifies price increases that would allow dairy farmers to start to rebuild their balance sheets after a very difficult extended period of poor prices and higher costs due to a very difficult winter."At the visit to First Milk, committee members heard more about the co-op's recent move back to a simpler pricing model for all members, and the development of a strong farmer governance structure. The new focussed strategy is designed to simplify and streamline the First Milk business for the benefit of their members after several difficult years for the co-op. The committee also discussed the need for a more open dialogue with milk buyers on Red Tractor standards and the prospect of legislation on dairy contracts, after Defra accepted a recommendation from the Grocery Code Adjudicator that dairy farmers are disadvantaged by an imbalance of power in the dairy supply chain. Milk Policy Manager George Jamieson said: "NFUS and our fellow UK Unions are very clear that we see this as massive opportunity for the entire dairy supply chain to develop an agreement on contracts that build trust, fairness and efficiency, resolving the key factors of pricing, volume and volatility."That there is a problem is clear to see. Any progressive processor confident in their business and who values their milk supply should view this initiative as an opportunity. Sadly, the reaction of some processors is to view this as a threat and are already using 'fear' tactics to cloud the issue. "NFUS is actively assessing all the evidence and are open minded about the choices, but we will pursue positive outcomes for the sector." Notes to Editors
