There are so much job openings when it comes to a phlebotomy position, which can be proof enough that the area has definitely earned the respect of most employers. This great news created a wide following of students wanting to be phlebotomy technicians one day. If you are curious about the person involved in this field, he is known as a phlebotomy technician or phlebotomist whose main function is to collect blood samples from patients and send them to the laboratory for evaluation. A successful blood collection means being able to accurately retrieve samples and get them examined without creating any harm to individuals. Accredited phlebotomy training programs are extremely helpful in molding students into becoming highly-skilled and extremely capable, and there is a need for technicians like these to be hired to get the job done properly.
So as to keep the quality services of medical professionals just like phlebotomists, every phlebotomy training course is expected to educate first-class knowledge and produce highly- skilled and equipped individuals to perform the job. But before enrolling in a course, know your purpose first whether it's for certification or for a degree. It is good to remember that there are numerous schools to pick from offering programs which include in-class lectures and hands-on training courses; the essential tools needed so you can get certified and be among the lineup of highly-capable phlebotomists. Dependent upon the certifying body involved, proper training usually covers 12 to 50 weeks as observed in San Francisco. Upon completion, trainees have to pass a licensing exam in order to get certified and enjoy the benefits surrounding it.
For individuals who are interested in having a degree, there are actually training programs designed to cater this purpose which require a 2-year education centering on advanced blood collection strategies (venipuncture, arterial puncture, and capillary puncture) and also reaching out to the basics of some other medical professions. This will undoubtedly be a boost to your credentials and will present you with greater job opportunities even outside your career of preference.
Enrolling in a phlebotomy program is possible through a lot of institutions like community colleges, vocational educational facilities, and private training centers. You can even avail of courses offered online. You should be aware that certification will not be possible if the school isn't accredited; so make certain your college has accreditation. These certifying bodies include but are limited to the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), National Phlebotomy Association (NPA), and Association of Phlebotomy Technicians (APT). With the inclusion of books, clinical fees, and other add-ons, training costs for 12 weeks normally reach up to $1,000 in San Francisco.
For those who are pondering, some states allow the practice of phlebotomy even devoid of getting certified. Because of their strong campaign for a preserved standard of quality, California does not allow those who are not certified to work as phlebotomists. San Francisco is among those who have large number of job opportunities in the phlebotomy area, and this is the place where your license is most helpful in gaining edge on other hopefuls. A license is your ticket to better employment opportunities; strengthening your credentials and verifying your worth as a qualified professional. It's not easy searching for a job that fits you well, but with all of your credentials; you don't need to look for them simply because they definitely will find you.

Two years ago Owen arrived and enriched our lives in every possible way. I'm so in love and amazed by him daily. How he counts to ten and names every colour and shape, how he tells us how he's feeling with words, how he sings songs and loves to hear guitars, how he runs around carefree, how he draws and uses his imagination. He's funny, goofy, fearless, opinionated and loving.
He's our beautiful boy and he's getting big.

But its been so fun picking up where his teachers left off and helping him grow and learn. We have our trying times, but its mostly been a fun and growing experience for us both. I love the undivided attention we give each other during this time. And I love watching him learn.

[Review] Lovelyz - R U Ready? (2nd Full Album)
Lovelyz is back to the kpop scene after a 10 months hiatus with a second full album! After finishing the promotion of Destiny, the group took their time before releasing another album, taking a break after being quite busy in 2015 and the beginning of 2016. It's quite a risky decision to take this a hiatus this long, especially since they haven't really established their name and had only gained momentum from their sleeper hit, Ah Choo (which is still quite strong). It's such a pity that Ah Choo is a late hit, only blooming into popularity after the group finished their promotion. I have always liked the song since the first time it was released, but at the time of the release people were calling it boring, and the song got appreciated very late (You were veeery late, people). But well, it's time to move on from Ah Choo and it's time to embracing their other songs!
P.S: I'm not good at music and my likings to songs can be random at times, perhaps this will be my first and last music review.
The Title Track
Before the release of the song, I felt curious about how "WoW" is going to be like since it was media played as having similarities to "Ah Choo". I was skeptical about that since I don't want them to think that they need to release a song that is similar to "Ah Choo" to succeed, and I don't want them to try to copy "Ah Choo". Turned out, "WoW" is not copying "Ah Choo", which made a lot of people feels disappointed, but actually made me feel relieved. The song is kind of a combination of Lovelyz' past songs, especially "Ah Choo" and "Destiny", without copying them. A lot of people thought that it sounded similar of "Destiny", but there were only a few bit that sounded like "Destiny". The song has an instrumental that is a reminiscence of "Ah Choo" in the synths, but the vocal and the way the girls sing has the serenity of "Destiny".
I didn't like the song right away, in fact, I have mixed feelings about it the moment I listened to the song. It sounded like two songs mixed into one, so there are parts that seemed disjointed. But as I listened to the song more, the more I got addicted to it and the more I appreciated the song. It's not the kind of songs that will hook you in on the first listen, but as you listen to it and analyze it more, the more you can feel that 1Piece, the composer of the song, put a lot of thought into the song. I have fun picking apart the instrumentals, as I started to hear not only the intro of the album, but also a lot of retro, synths, and electro influences. The instrumental is well made, and I have grown to really love it.
I like the contrast between the melancholic vocals and the cute instrumental, even though it was jarring for a lot of people, weirdly for me it was the one thing I like about the song. It was actually the repetitive part that made me have mixed feelings about the song--so far, this was the most repetitive title track Lovelyz ever had. Their previous songs don't have forced catchy parts, in fact, the catchy parts grew on you. But for this one, it was apparent that they were trying to put a purposely catchy parts. Those parts did grow on me, as it made the song so weird, unique, and special in a sense. It's a very experimental song.
The song itself reminded me of the b-tracks in Lovelyz' first full album, Girl's Invasion, such as Secret Journey, Goodbye Chapter One, and the song in the repackage, Amusement Park. They were similar in a sense that they were unusual and weird, but those songs are the reason why I finally decided to put faith into Lovelyz' discography. Honestly, if you are a Lovelyz fan, you shouldn't be surprised at how weird their songs can be if you remember the songs in their first albums.
My number one complaint is the song is a quite repetitive and ends quite abruptly, it makes me feel like I don't have enough time to marvel at it, feel like I am being left hanging. For me, this is a weaker title track than Lovelyz' other title tracks, but even at their worst, the song is still good. It's unfortunate that Lovelyz' songs would always be the kind of songs that people appreciated late, or never at all, because those songs don't catch you at first listen and most people only judge at first listen, when the songs are usually too complicated to judge at first listen. It received a lot of negative comments, unfortunately. But it was not strange for a Lovelyz song, even Ah Choo the legendary song got quite negative reviews at first. Not everyone could appreciate their songs.
The Album
Even if you don't like "WoW", you should go check out other songs. This is one of the best full albums I have ever listened to. All songs were good, and it was obvious that a lot of work was put into the album, especially when you look at the range of composers who works on the album. The album has songs that have the usual Lovelyz sounds ("Cameo", "Knock Knock", etc), but at the same time, it also delves into a more mature Lovelyz through songs like "Day and Night". The review of the songs in the album will be very short because I am sleepy, haha.
"Cameo" is the song that can be a title track (there is always at least one song on every album), in they way it seemed more cohesive than "WoW". While I did admit that it can be a title track, I also felt that there is something lacks about it that would still make it not a so perfect title track. But it's still a very strong side track, which I'm sure will be in a lot of people's list of favorite songs. If it's a title track, though, I bet there will be people who call it boring, lol. "Emotion" manages to combine the mature side and the fun side of Lovelyz, it has a perfect balance of being melancholic and yet at the same time fun. "First Snow" is one of the slower songs on the album, and it's a good song that exposes Lovelyz' fantastic harmony (I freaking love their harmony). I think "Hide and Seek" will make a good concert song, it reminds me of first love, somehow, lol. This and "Knock Knock" shows off Lovelyz' Whimsical side, which I have always loved. "Day and Night" are the type of songs that Lovelyz had never really tried before, and it's freaking fantastic. It's my favorite group songs from this album, it's a nice song to listen to before sleeping. Lovelyz also fit this kind of song and I hope they will do more similar songs in the future.
Other than groups songs, the album also has unit songs, meaning songs that only sung by several members of the group. Jisoo and Jiae's song, "My Lover", is one of my favorite songs in the album. Even though they are two of the weakest singers in the group, this song utilizes their voices well and makes them stand out. Their soft voices fit this kind of song and it showcases their voices, making the song feels haunting. Jiae's voice fits this song and "Doll" from their past album, "A New Trilogy", so I hope she and Jisoo would get to do more songs like these in the future. "The" is influenced a lot by soft rock, and it's a really good song that showcases Yein's improvement in singing. Personally, I think Yein is the member that showed the most improvement on this album, although everyone else also improved. Sujeong has always been a strong singer for me, and her voice fits the song the most. Mijoo also has always been a decent singer, but for some reasons, her voice always sounded a little weird and out of place in Lovelyz' songs, including in this song. But it was only in several parts, for most parts this is one of the songs where she doesn't sound so out of place. The song itself is a fun song that reminded me of Disney Musical Movies osts, haha.
Unfortunately, for me, the weakest song on the album is the main vocalists' song. It's not a bad song, per se, but for me it's almost too basic compared to other songs and the three members who sing the song has other songs that showcase their vocals better...which is why I am glad that they are the main vocalists, because they have a lot of other songs that can be used to judge their vocals, unlike the other members. Jin and Baby Soul's vocal especially stands out for me on this album, Jin has gotten better at hitting high notes, not sounding like she is straining anymore. Baby Souls' vocals also finally shine on this album, after previously she doesn't have a lot of prominent parts in Lovelyz songs despite being the third best singer in the group. Kei's voice is utilized lesser in this album than in previous albums, I think, but she really stands out when she is leading the harmonies in the album. Everyone knows that she is a very good singer, anyway, so even though she is utilized less I think it doesn't matter much. (I should fangirl over her performances in Girl Spirit again when I have time...)
As I say, this is a very solid album which has a variety of genres. Some of the songs are very Lovelyz, but there are also songs that are experimental for them. I am sure if people give it a chance, they will find some gems. My ranking of the songs:
- Night and Day
- Knock Knock
- My Lover
- Emotion
- Hide and Seek
- The
- WoW
- Cameo
- First Snow
- Dawn Star
You know...I'm actually surprised that Cameo is quite low, and maybe people are surprised too that I like WoW better. I don't know, my ranking ends up like this, haha.

In the last 15 months or so since we started renovating Gunk Haus we have been blessed with an absence of injuries. Sure, there are occasional cuts, skin rips, and hammer-hits-thumbs, and our bodies are aching all the time from the physical work, but nothing major.
Our tools and clothing have not fared so well. I have gone through several ripped pants, one pair of boots (though my old military boots are starting to go as well), and numerous work gloves.
Today's victim was E!'s power drill. It did not survive the six foot drop off a ladder (I am sorry, Tom, to report its death, it didn't have to suffer though, but it was a fine drill all its life).
So we set out to get E! another power drill. That set in motion a whole journey across three counties, because our dear friend Jerry gave us this 10% off coupon for Lowe's, and I needed some tools, too, and oh, why don't we look for a new washer then.
Therefore, another victim of today was the day itself, but we did get E! a fancy new power drill.
Happy Birthday, Amy ...

Occasionally, we've had the awesome opportunity to work with other authors in the fantasy community. These people are generous, talented, outspoken or a combination of all of these qualities. Above all else, they are folks that we want to keep in contact with, and we'd like you to be aware of them as well. This is a new feature on the website, so you'll see this page grow more over time.
L.E. Parr is the writer of the stunning urban fantasy series Fariidinus. She's been incredibly generous with her time and her work, and we'd like to celebrate her character and her talent here on Tellest.
A productive storyteller and worldbuilder if ever there was one, Parr's main focus is on a world on Earth that's just beyond our comprehension, where fairies dwell—beings that are as lethal as they are beautiful.
She's also begun work on a second urban fantasy series called Sirenhawk. It follows shapeshifters from a hidden place in Sierra Nevada, and it's just as interesting as her fairy series!
Parr is an author to watch out for. She's got a showcase of her completed and upcoming books on her website. Don't take our word for it—go and check it out now!
Eric K Barnum
The creator of the Forsaken Isles books, Erik K Barnum is as prolific a fantasy author as they come. We're incredibly lucky to have rubbed shoulders with him here on Tellest.
Barnum's works include Dar Tania, Malcor's Story, Bomoki's Gate, Set's Dream, and Khalla's Play, as well as the novella The Healer's Making. Each of them comes with a fair share of world-building, character development, and twists and turns that keep you on your toes.
If you're interested in seeing what Barnum is up to, check out his website to see what's going on in the Forsaken Isles!
Jon Franklyn
As the writer of the immense epic The Carbynarah Chronicles, Jon Franklyn has already got his first wonderful tale under his belt. You can tell that Jon is passionate about his writing and the world he's crafted, and we end up reaping those benefits.
When I say epic, by the way, I mean it. At over 600 pages, The Carbynarah Chronicles is a massive piece of work. And since Franklyn is a giving person, you end up getting all that for the fraction of the cost that you might expect.
There's no better time than now to focus on Franklyn's work. Check out The Carbynarah Chronicles on Amazon right now, and don't forget to check out Franklyn's website as well to keep up on his latest goings-on.
J.S. Morin
We have had the privilege of working with J.S. Morin on multiple occasions over the years. It all started with an interview in 2014, and proceeded on with a few promotions for his books.
Let us tell you, he's got plenty of them. Morin is one of the more prolific writers we've had the opportunity to witness over the years, and it doesn't look like there's any stopping him. With a score of books behind him that cover Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Steampunk, Morin is definitely one of the authors you want to keep on your radar!
Jeff Kish
The artisan of the Runic series, featuring both Diamond Bonds and Sapphire Ambition, Jeff Kish is a fantastic storyteller. We've kept him on our radar since 2016, and you can be sure we'll continue to do something as long as he pursues his craft.
The Runics series feels like home for fans of fantasy, but it's expressive and different enough to have surprises around every corner. We love the magic system, the world Kish has built, and the adventures he crafts.
If you're looking to keep up to date on this growing fantasy series, check out the Runics Facebook page!
Dan Osarchuk
Writer of the Night Skies Over Valhallow series, Dan is a writer who is robust with his words. His books are set in a dystopian future of our world, and they contain the right mix of humor, action and allegory.
Check out our promo for his book, Red Noon at Helltowne when you get the opportunity, and give it a look on Amazon as well!

Hidden away in the Badlands of South Dakota, Warehouse 13 is a top-secret repository for historical artifacts imbued with dangerous supernatural properties. Secret Service agents Pete Lattimer and Myka Berin are ever on the lookout for loose artifacts threatening to ruin the world's day. Their mission: "Snag it, bag it, tag it."
Reports of a genuine psychic healer, along with a simultanous epidemic of mysterious illnesses, lead Myka and Pete on a hazardous investigation that stretches from a carnival sideshow back to the blody history of the Civil War. But when Pete is infected with a deadly disease, Myka nd the rest of the team, including Artie Nielsen and Claudia Donovan, must track down a pair of cursed gloves - before a madman unleashes a virulent plague upon America!
Received from the publisher for review.
This one gets three stars. I am by no means a hardcore Warehouse 13 fan but I do enjoy the show and found this intriguing. It was, like most books based on a television series, a solid independent story that was true to the television show and its characters. This was firmly along the lines of a Doctor Who, Torchwood, or Eureka novel - entertaining and gives you your fix between seasons. This is highly recommended for fans of the television series.
★★★☆☆ = Liked It

A digital edition of Simon Forman's & Richard Napier's medical records 1596–1634
Simon Forman writes in a typical Elizabethan secretary hand, with some italic features. Perhaps echoing medieval practices, he sometimes writes initial letters or whole names in much larger script, occasionally using red ink.
Richard Napier also writes in a typical late Elizabethan secretary hand, with more italic features, and his script is notoriously slovenly. Their casebooks were working documents, not fair copies.
Good introductions to palaeography (the study of old handwriting), with online tutorials and guidance on deciphering Elizabethan secretary hands, are Cambridge University's online course on English Handwriting 1500-1700 and the National Archives' online palaeography tutorial.

Water is life. We are made up of mostly water. Our planet is covered by over 70% water. Bringing the healing, life-giving power of water together with music creates a profoundly immersive experience we call MindTravel Underwater.
Imagine floating weightlessly or swimming beneath the surface as the music plays through a network of underwater speakers. The sound is otherworldly and transports you back to the womb. You spent the first 41 weeks of your existence in water, so in many ways, this MindTravel is like coming home.
"It was mind blowing...it was like a modern-day shamanic baptism." - Jeremy F.
Water teaches us about letting go. We can't grasp it or resist it. As Alan Watts, the Zen philosopher, said, that once you give yourself to the water "…you find that the water holds you up, indeed in a certain way you become the water."
With so many people together bound by the water and music, you truly get that we are all deeply connected. You literally feel the music. The energy of the collective overwhelms and puts you in touch with your source.
Enjoy a journey into the realm of the subconscious while experiencing new levels of reflection and rejuvenation.
MindTravel Underwater is currently in beta in partnership with exquisite pools in New York and Los Angeles with more cities to come soon. Sign up with your email address below to receive special updates when this immersive experience comes to a city near you.

– Judge HappyTail73's Comment:
The monochromatic scheme implied in this wall was used to highlight the girl which is on the center using the spilled blood scattered on those flowers as well as the create a little diversion using the crimson colored eyes to add more focus on the character's expression were really commendable. The only thing I notice is the use variety of shades are not that fully utilize meaning a lot gray, white and black tones were not used here. On the technical side, clean and neat vectoring are Cilou's trademark. While the "Out of Focus" blurred that suggest distance perspective was done really well, but the only downside here was the spilled blood, they some lack some necessary effects to be called as such.Very appealing wall indeed since the monochromatic theme was integrated very well to her advantage. Making this one a little bit superior from others.
– Judge Kuryuki's Comment:
The red goes well with the monochromatic scheme and it fits the scan of choice as well, but I feel the blood stains isn't working as well as they should have been, they're not spreaded realistically. I do appreciate the reconstruction + background, but again, there's a disconnection between background and foreground.

total score from judge HappyTail73: 16.5
total score from judge Kuryuki: 25.5
– Judge HappyTail73's Comment:
This stands out against its fellow contestants because it didn't utilize the normal "Ice-Breaker Color" deal (other competitors are kinda fond of reds). Instead it uses a minimalist approach on the black and white color palette but it would be appreciated better if maximum shades of grays were used. Merging a vector art and a realistic photo in a monochromatic wall were done flawlessly, wasn't so commendable but still good. The level of creativity is the thing that this wall really boast of, but in terms of overall impact its not that high compared to other competitors out there.
– Judge Kuryuki's Comment:
I find the monochromatic scheme works really well with the images of choice. Techniques wise, the vector is lacking, it's far to simple to complement the photo used and there is a style conflict between the two.
Entry 3. 'Bloody Red' by cKori (full view @Minitokyo.net)
total score from judge Eldarwen: 22.5
total score from judge FlameColonelRoy: 29.5
total score from judge HappyTail73: 17.5
total score from judge Kuryuki: 20
– Judge HappyTail73's Comment:
Eyes, blood and flowers are red while skulls are gray with gradient tinted background to sum it up. Just a normal entry for any monochromatic contest like this one that suggest a creepy feeling. Utilizing a little variety of blacks, grays and white was just fine. But the empty background was really better if it was filled with something. Clean vectoring with good application of blurs, better if skulls have textures though. The overall scary feeling that this wall was gives off was really effective though the generic feeling was still imprinted, thus it deserves the score that I've given.
– Judge Kuryuki's Comment:
Red goes well with black and the chrysanthemum's are well constructed. But the red on the chrysanthemum distracts the viewer because it's all over the wallpaper. the point of using the red should be to direct the viewer's attention to a certain point to highlight that subject.
Entry 4. 'Love Never Ends' by AngelEarth10 (full view not available)
total score from judge Eldarwen: 26.5
total score from judge FlameColonelRoy: 30
total score from judge HappyTail73: 13.5
total score from judge Kuryuki: 16
– Judge HappyTail73's Comment:
The overwhelming shades of white were really evident in this one with a little usage of grays to start with. Though I feel that the monochromatic scheme was not that appropriate for this kind wall making my score a little bit low. The character extraction was fine but it do have some artifacts intact because of the scan's original size. Light rays were diffused as they go down and those light globules flying around were done just nicely as they are. Issues regarding saturation on the upper left corner and simple typo that you've got here justifies my score on the technical side. Piling up the inappropriate monochromatic theme and the issues on technicalities making me score this one a little bit inferior compared to others.
– Judge Kuryuki's Comment:
This was the only entry that I felt would work better if it wasn't monochromatic, the theme feels like it's added at the end instead of being incorporated starting in the planning stages. The red doesn't really stand out since the wall is quite bright. Overall the foreground, background and text seems like separate elements and does not compliment each other.

Lucky Black-eyed Pea Salad
Photo: Jennifer Davick; Styling: Lydia DeGaris Pursell
Peppery watercress fills in for traditional greens. January is peak season for fresh Chilean peaches—ripen at room temp in a brown paper bag until fragrant and juicy.
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare peas according to package directions, simmering only until al dente; drain and let cool 1 hour.
Step 2
Whisk together cilantro and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Add cooked black-eyed peas, bell pepper, and onion, tossing to coat; cover and chill 8 hours. Stir peaches and watercress into pea mixture just before serving.

Ginitown's Review
This was great! It was part of a summertime "Southern" appetizer buffet, including cornmeal crusted chicken tenderloins, deviled eggs and watermelon. Guests could not stop raving about it, went back for seconds and thirds, and the whole thing was completely gone fairly quickly. I made this after attempting another black-eyed pea salad that was swimming in oil. I rinsed everything thoroughly, and started over re-using the peas, chopped regular white onions and chopped celery that were already mixed together. I think the red onion would be even prettier, but the final taste was not a disappointment. (I am not sure I used the whole two cups of watercress, and to be honest, I really wasn't sure how to tear it--it is all stems with just leaves at the top; I used mostly the top halves of one whole bunch that was sold growing out of a little piece of sod.) This combination of flavors was so fresh and complex. I will make it again and again. Great cool salad for a hot day!

Marleymags's Review
Delicious! I used arugula instead of watercress. Be sure not to overcook the peas. This held up well in the fridge overnight and would be a good potluck dish since there's no mayo to spoil.
cid3154's Review
I made for New Years Day. There was no watercress in the grocery store, so I substituted 2 stalks of celery diced. It added a nice crunch. I wasn't sure about the peaches, but everyone liked the dimension the peach added to the recipe.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
Some days I have so much inspiration that I feel like I can accomplish everything and more. I'll pick up numerous freelance articles for the week and go to work planning, interviewing and writing them – all while getting back to countless emails, maintaining the website for the magazine I run, its daily social media and putting together the next issue.
At the same time I'll go out with friends, run errands and generally be a social person. I'll feel energetic, motivated and positive, holding on to these feelings with the optimism that they'll stay and consistently increase my work.
But then sure enough, my steam will run out just as quick as it arrived and I'll spend the next week pushing myself to get out of bed – feeling lethargic, unmotivated and doubtful that there's any point to what I'm doing with my life.
Inspiration comes and goes, but for someone who's involved in social justice work their life has everything to do with their ability to stay motivated – especially because for so many of us we're either volunteering or being paid very little. Many of us have day jobs that pay the bills while we make time around them to focus on what we're passionate about. But the problem is, when our lives are based around inspiring others to create change, we can easily fall victim to burnout in a field where we feel guilty for slowing down and admitting that we need a break. And when we finally take that break because we're so fried that we can't go any further it forces us to ask the question: When you're the backbone who's working to lift everyone up, who's going to catch you?
As a writer and entrepreneur, my career is built around empowering young women through the stories I write and the publication I run, and I'm constantly a source of motivation for the volunteers who work with me, through giving them guidance and support. When I've pushed myself too hard it's usually after a surge of energy left me feeling like my motivation was invincible.
Well, let me be the first person to admit that motivation is not invincible. Despite how much we love what we do and want to succeed, we all have a breaking point where we need to recharge before we can keep going – and it's especially hard to admit this when we're the person holding everything together.
The worst time I suffered activist burnout was a couple years ago when I was organizing a SlutWalk rally. I was putting a new issue of the magazine together and had started organizing the rally meetings – but suddenly I was overcome with so much anxiety from all the work I was doing I started missing meetings because I was feeling sick. I ended up going to the hospital because my anxiety turned to bouts of nausea and a constant fever, and despite begrudgingly telling people I was feeling unwell, I was forced to quit the rally and even lost friends who didn't believe I was as sick as I was and thought I was making excuses.
As someone working in the social justice field, I know how difficult it is to give ourselves permission to take care of ourselves without feeling guilty. The thing that we have to remember is everyone in our community may be working hard at the same thing – but not everyone has the same limits and it's not fair to compare each other. By taking care of ourselves we're actually benefiting the causes we're working for by having more energy to put into them.
When we're suffering from burnout we're just going through the motions – and that doesn't benefit anything or anyone. People pick up on your attitude towards them and if we're not excited about what we're doing then they're not going to be excited either. This is why it's so important to work on self-care every day.
Recently I pushed myself to my limits and the signs of burnout started to creep up. I couldn't get out of bed when I usually look forward to starting my day. I was irritable when generally I would be even-tempered. I started to feel depressed when I haven't felt like that in a long time. I was so drained that I couldn't even stand to look at my phone. The biggest sign was that I was Googling things like "signs of burnout" and visualizing being out in nature with no cellphone reception – and by this point it was too late. As I sat there completely exhausted and unable to carry on until I recharged, I took out the following tools from my self-care kit and got to work on becoming myself again.
1. Reach out to a support system.
Even if you're the backbone of our social justice community, there are so many other aligning communities that intertwine with yours. It's important to get to know people who work in similar fields and have them there for friendship and support.
At the end of the day our friends and/or partner/s are great, but they might not fully understand our field and this makes a world of difference when all we want to do is talk to someone who understands how hard it is and how much we want it at the same time.
2. Make time for yourself.
In order to ensure we don't get to the point of burnout, we need to set time in our day to do something that gives us time to relax – like taking a hot bath, going for a run, meditating outside or reading a good book. Doing something every day that gives us time for ourselves makes sure that we'll continue to be at our best.
My favourite way to recharge is to be around nature – such as going for a hike in the mountains or swimming in the ocean. Watching powerful films about strong women also works wonders because it reminds me that I'm not alone in my struggles.
If burnout hits, we need to make sure that we're not caught off guard. Having a team to take over for us in the worst case scenario helps immensely if we need time to recharge but still have deadlines to meet.
For example, I've begun to look for more people to help me with the magazine not only for emergency purposes but to take the pressure off myself in my everyday life. Just because we can do everything ourselves doesn't mean that we should.
4. Follow a routine.
Of course not everything can go according to plan, but as a general rule it's a good idea to follow a routine of self care every day. It's so easy to overwork ourselves when we don't have set times to eat proper meals, get enough sleep or turn off work mode.
Setting a daily schedule for when we plan to do these things helps keep them in the back of our mind so we can develop a routine. I find that writing a list in the morning of things I need to do that day – including when I'm going to eat, sleep and relax – helps me feel less guilty about putting in time for myself.
5. Laugh.
This one is so important and so overlooked. In the social justice field we have a tendency to take our work so seriously that we forget life doesn't always have to be serious. As someone who spends long hours working at home, I have to make more of an effort to go out, socialize and laugh.
If you find that you don't have time or money to go out with friends as much as you'd like, turn on some standup, a YouTube video or a funny movie. Calling a hilarious friend or partner also works great to remember what it's like to laugh again.
What are your tips for overcoming activist burnout? Let me know in the comments below.

A middle aged couple come back from the supermarket. His gut's hanging over his tracksuit bottoms, necking a can of strong beer.
A pigeon flies over the trees that cover up rows on rows of 10 story tower blocks, Soviet era. Clapped-out 1970s Russian sedan parked on the pavement.
Stubbing a cigarette, the door downstairs chimes as an old Russian lady fumbles inside, shopping bags bulging.
Earlier this morning, a postman came by with a bag full of promotional leaflets marked U.S. Mail. People still carry around those old plastic bags branded with American cigarette company logos, and my wife tells me these were hot stuff back when the Russians hated the Americans and her step-dad was locked up for wearing Nike trainers as capitalist contraband.
That's the view from my window right now as I write this, reflecting on my first year living in Latvia, a tiny European country still haunted by its time as part of the Eastern Bloc.
As a sheltered, naive kid born in the most middle-class village in England, the brutal soviet grit aesthetic always fascinated me. It's as far as you can get from nicely spaced, roomy detached cottages along a winding road with neat verges.
Getting to anywhere-but-there was what drove me to London for university, where I chose a flat in the vandalized side-streets of Hackney and started work on a novel about industrial melancholy that won't ever get finished. An old man rides the tube, overhears conversations, meets people, is an insider, is an outsider. That's about all I can remember. It won't ever get finished.
Before I was even officially released from university, I'd married a Latvian girl and moved back to her home city, living in a beautifully dismal tower block on the outskirts, the allure of the ghost suburbs winning out over the safety of English village life, or even London.
All but 2 people I've asked even know where Latvia is. It's a Baltic country in Eastern Europe, west of Russia and south of Estonia. Its had a turbulent past, having been occupied by German and Soviet (1940-1991) military. Before 1991, it hadn't had a say in its own future or politics since World War II. So, as you can imagine, the readjustment process is still underway. Latvia hasn't yet recovered from the economic toll of 51 years of Soviet control.
Along with Soviet control came the criminally underreported deportation of tens of millions of people to the deep wastelands of Siberia to die in gulags, leaving the Soviets with almost twice as much blood on their hands than Nazi Germany.
For me, coming from a country wasn't shattered by tyranny, the lasting effects of Latvia's past stood in stark contrast to the existence I knew.
The Latvian population is dispossessed — a society still early in the recovery process after Soviet control
Two kids sit in the shell of an old petrol station, sharing a 2-liter bottle of strong beer as I drive past, deeper into the suburbs where tower blocks surround patches of mossy grass and where the whole place looks as if it was carved straight from ancient forestland in the past decade.
For most of Latvia, everything apart from the rural farm land and exact city centers is new. However, when Soviet control was given up in 1991, it left so much of its grand plans half-finished, and even a cursory glance around will make that clear. Skeletal, unusable multi-level car parks sit as abandoned building sites next to massive expanses of concreted wasteland.
As soon as you get a few miles out of the center, houses are left to turn to ruins and no one gives much of a shit because they were probably turned out of them and housed in tower blocks during the occupation. A McDonalds opens up on the doorstep of Radiotehnika, an abandoned radio factory that has been out of action since 1991 and previous to that struggled with a reported 95% rejection rate of its output, meaning that for every 100 items it produced, 95 of them were deemed unacceptable for distribution.
And so, on the dawn of the downfall of the Soviet Union, the factory was left as one amongst thousands of Soviet relics. Relics like ghost factories, unfinished complexes, U.S. Mail bags and rusty American imported cars come together in my mind to paint Latvia as an almost abandoned ghost town. Looking over the sparse cityscape at 3am, feeling false nostalgia for the junk shop at the end of the world.

Need for independent investigation and fair trials
(14/02-2007) The violent handling of the Self-Determination Movement's protest on Saturday raises serious concerns about leadership in Kosovo.
The Norwegian Helsinki Committee, the Swedish Helsinki Committee and the International Helsinki Federation question the international and the national leadership's ability to reassure the public that the institutions in Kosovo have the both authority and the ability to lead the province fairly and efficiently. The organisations believe that it is mandatory that
an independent, transparent and swift investigation into the deaths and injuries be undertaken
all demonstrators apprehended are tried in accordance with the rule of law or released
There are media reports that some of the demonstrators arrested were within days sentenced to forty days imprisonment. Those reports raise the question of how it would be possible that a severely backlogged court system can in two days time fairly try and sentence several protestors, particularly when an investigation of the police is not expected for another two weeks.

Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican presidential field by wide margins in New Hampshire, but two of his opponents, Chris Christie and Ted Cruz, are rising rapidly in Granite State polls.
Christie, New Jersey's brusque two-term governor, has jumped from ninth place to fourth and reached double digits in the first-in-the-nation primary state with 10 percent support among GOP voters in Public Policy Polling's latest survey. Similarly, Cruz, the anti-establishment Texas senator, has gone from sixth place at 8 percent to second place at 13 percent since October.
With 27 percent support among New Hampshire Republicans, Trump remains unchanged from where he stood two months ago. In third place, with 11 percent support and well within the margin of error against Cruz, is Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
Ben Carson (9 percent), John Kasich (9 percent), and Carly Fiorina (6 percent), are the only other candidates polling above 5 percent in the Granite State.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

February 14, 2010 --A filmmaker is waging a battle by Twitter with Southwest Airlines because he was kicked off a flight for being too big.Kevin Smith may be best known for portraying Silent Bob in films like "Clerks" and "Mallrats," but he has been 'tweeting' about his experience with Southwest.
Smith was flying from Oakland to Burbank Saturday when he was asked to leave.
Southwest policy states that passengers who can't lower the armrests comfortably need to buy two seats.
Smith originally purchased two seats but changed his plans when he decided to fly standby, and only one seat was available.
He insists he fit in the seat, but the crew asked him to leave anyway.
The airline gave him a $100 voucher.

PETE HAM could perhaps be termed the "grandfather" of the "Powerpop" genre, having composed "No Matter What," the first crunchy, souful, rockin' blast to hit the airwaves after the demise of melodic rock'n'roll, which came after "Flower Power" had dissapated into blues-rock and progressive influences.
BADFINGER was his group, which he first founded as THE IVEYS. Throughout the early 70s BADFINGER kept a Beatle-ish flame burning with their catchy pop songs that were without pretense, when virtually no one else dared to venture there, less they crumble under the journalistic snobby backlash.
Ham ended up writing a number of "Classic Rock" standards: "No Matter What," "Day After Day," "Baby Blue" and his co-composed all-time ballad "Without You." (with TOM EVANS) His first band, The Iveys, had originated out of Swansea, South Wales. They were the first act signed to the Beatles' Apple Records label in 1968.
Badfinger first hit the Top Ten in 1970, with "Come And Get It," which was written by Paul McCartney. Ham did various sessions for the Apple label, most notably his famous acoustic guitar duet on "Here Comes The Sun" with George Harrison for the "Concert For Bangladesh." Ham was an extremely accomplished musician on many instruments; George Harrison quoting Pete to be a "fantastic guitarist" and a "great singer."
After Badfinger released six albums and four hit singles, they became embroiled in managerial issues and internal politics. Ham was cited by all his friends, family and business contacts as a lovely, honest, soft-spoken gentlemen, with a heart of gold. Also a jokester, but not in a sarcastic way, deeply serious about his craft, and the one who everyone leaned on for support. But by April 1975, Ham's income had been cut off and he was contractually confined. Serious depression had set in. He was a proud man, who could not reach out openly for help, instead he even burned himself with cigarettes out of incredible frustration. On April 24, 1975, he hanged himself.
Ham left behind a pregnant girlfriend, Anne, and her son, Blair, His daughter, Petera (named after him), was born one month after his death. Ham's suicide note was accusatory of Badfinger's business manager and showed his faith in mankind had slipped away.
It read: "Anne, I love you. Blair, I love you. I will not be allowed to love and trust everybody. This is better. Pete. P.S. Stan Polley is a soulless bastard. I will take him with me."

He later asked Trump if he had done the things that he talked about on the tape, coming on to women by groping and kissing them.

Treatment has improved so much over the years that detecting cancer early has become less important. A new study questions the value of mammograms for breast cancer screening. The two main things that put women at risk for developing breast cancer is age or family history. The answer is no because the greatest risk factor for breast cancer is age - the older you get, the higher your risk.
This injury means Josh Tomlin is now the starting for today's Game 2 matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays, but fans should not look at this as a bad thing.

The Democratic attorney general could also make Trump return any money that had been raised. Unsurprisingly, the Trump campaign has not commented on the matter as of yet.

Home > Life Insurance > Page 1
If you die tomorrow, your family members will only have a few days to come up with several thousands of dollars to pay for your funeral. Your remains will have to be stored according to local and state laws. One of the best decisions you can make is to buy burial insurance.
8 Questions you should ask before you buy life insurance. Answering these questions is key for a good understanding of what you should know and what you can get out of life insurance, no matter who you are.
When many begin to look into assistance through insurance, they question what will provide the most effective options for lifestyle needs while staying within a specific budget. There are different qualities and characteristics that are a part of life insurance, all which can help you to get the support you need. A popular option that is used is 30 year term life insurance.
The rates for life insurance are not all the same!
The lowest life insurance premium is not always the best value. But we compared Apples and Apples, and found a $300 a year difference on the price for a million dollar term life policy on a 45 year old , non smoking man. These different term life quotes came from the top 10 highly rated insurance companies, and were all for the same healthy individual! Over the 20 year term, this would have been a $6,000 difference!
Every life insurance policy, although there is no nationwide uniformity in wording, will contain certain provisions which, in one form or another, are found in all life insurance policies. These may be called the "contents" of the policy. There are two important types of options available to purchasers of most insurance policies: dividend options and settlement options. These may be called "policy options." Finally, there are certain clauses which may or may not be affixed to the life insurance contract.
If you're looking for great life insurance you don't go to one company. You go to several companies and get insurance quotes from all of them. Online Life Insurance Comparison is the Best Way To Get Cheap Life Insurance. Don't waste time driving from office to office asking for life quotes. It's simply not practical.
New and exciting experiences abound in college, thanks to some privileges enjoyed by college students. Because most students are of legal age, the range of activities that they can participate in has just widened. This opportunity obviously did not escape the attention of many co-eds.
Some insurance companies still require insurance applicants to undergo a medical examination prior to insuring them. This largely depends on the type of insurance policy being applied for but there are many insurance companies today who don't require a medical exam prior to insuring them for a term life policy.
Life Insurance Needs After Retirement. Your needs will change after you get your gold watch and leave your office or factory floor for the last time. But does that mean that your needs for a life policy will entirely evaporate? Well, the answer will probably be different, depending upon your own goals and financial situation. Let us look at a few options for obtaining a life insurance policy after 65 (or any retirement age).
Shopping for financial products is actually quite similar with shopping for other items. The most important thing is to know exactly what you need. To help you to make better decision, a few questions need to be clarified by yourself before you go out shopping for the best rate.

What are my opportunities as a physiologist at the AIS?
All physiologists have undertaken university courses (initially an undergraduate science degree, then a postgraduate degree such as an honours, masters or PhD) in:
- Exercise Science
- Human Movement
- Sport Science
- Physical Education or a related field.
Increasingly, high school students are gaining an interest in Physiology through the physical education curriculum and we would encourage students to consider the STEM subjects to pursue a career along this pathway.
Before focusing special projects and advanced studies in third and fourth year on Exercise Physiology, student's initial stages of a university degree should include a broad range of subjects including:
- Anatomy and Physiology;
- Biomechanics;
- Coaching Science;
- Skill Acquisition;
- Psychology;
- Statistics;
- Information Technology; and
- the sociological aspects of sport.
Apart from an academic program, students should have a passion for sport, a burning curiosity about sports science and they should endeavour to obtain some practical experience in an Exercise Physiology laboratory or with elite sports team or an elite sport program.
AIS Physiology offers a limited number of placements on an annual basis to students who wish to gain industry experience, as detailed below:
- Postgraduate Scholarship (Quality Assurance)
- Postgraduate Scholarship (Physiology)
Go to the ASC Jobs page for further information or for opportunities coming up.

Like many other healthcare providers, the hospital was still highly dependent on paper records such as patient medical files and financial documents. Transferring these paper files into a digital database by hand was time-intensive and involved significant human error. Even more so, keeping digital records up-to-date manually for every change in medical or financial information was nearly impossible to maintain because this prevented employees from spending the necessary face-time with patients.
Another pain point was inventory management. The hospital monitored the supply levels of every inventory item, right down to syringes, gloves, and needles, based on anticipated demand and previous use. Yet, an inefficient inventory tracking system meant that 20-30% of its supplies went unused. The hospital was also faced with significant proportions of appointment cancellations, which were especially costly if the empty space could not be filled. Due to these no-shows, many other patients were unable to access services in the time-frame needed.
RPA increases control of operations
The hospital turned to RPA in order to regain control of its operational processes and significantly improve the patient experience. Through RPA digitization, the hospital was able to eliminate a significant number of internal functional silos and provided its patients with increased transparency. Automation streamlined the supply chain by determining optimal inventory levels based on previous needs and patterns in the demand, especially through the use of real-time reporting. At this point, the hospital was using software robots for roughly 80% of claims and billing, thereby reducing processing costs from $4 to $1 per claim.
Patients welcomed the change. More than 75% of them (across all age groups) wanted to use innovative and functional digital services. The increasingly digitized infrastructure supported by RPA was a success. Patients were able to access their medical histories, billing information, and appointment scheduling and reminders from a unified online platform, which resulted in optimized appointment turnout and more timely payments. While RPA provided operational improvements for the hospital, the patients were the ones who most significantly benefitted.
Intuitive user interfaces. Ease of implementation. The ability to cut the complexities and eliminate the redundancies in today's healthcare industry. With UiPath, make the most of a simple user experience with streamlined implementation and unparalleled customer support. Our RPA solutions boost operational growth and create a positive patient experience unmatched by other companies throughout the automation industry.
Patients are at the forefront of the healthcare industry, and RPA allows service providers to improve the quality of their forward-facing operations. With its cognitive RPA, UiPath's automation is able to achieve complex language, named entity recognition, and sentiment analysis capabilities by integrating Google, Microsoft, IBM & ABBYY cognitive and OCR services. When applied to digital helpdesks or communication platforms, UiPath's front office capabilities allow software robots to efficiently respond to patient requests.
UiPath does not locally store any process-related data from software robots. The platform only maintains robot-related activity reports, either locally or on the Orchestrator if using the server option. Patient information accessed during automation of data transfers or claims processing is always confidential.
UiPath non-intrusively runs automation through human-like interactions with the user interface using intelligent computer vision. Because the software is a process and is application-agnostic, UiPath allows automation of existing healthcare systems and applications (both native and web) to be modeled without affecting the underlying code. It also works exceptionally well in Citrix environments (8x-10x faster) where there is no access to the application's user interface elements. This is crucial since 90% of large healthcare providers leverage Citrix solutions.
A software robot's expense is typically one-fifth the cost of a full-time healthcare staff member. RPA can deliver up to 47% overall savings, especially in healthcare payer BPO. With UiPath's intelligent scheduling and multi-tenancy, healthcare providers can leverage a cost-effective workforce and significantly reduce operating costs. Robots can be deployed in Cloud or on-premises from a single central server, making automation possible across multiple independent business units.

Starbucks has moved to respond to Kelly Osbourne after the star went on a public rant at the coffee shop chain.
The daughter of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne claimed staff refused to let her use their toilet.
Kelly had a go at the American corporation on Twitter, saying they humiliated her because she wet herself.
She used the hashtag #P*ssedMyOwnPants.
She tweeted Starbucks saying: "SHAME on U.
"#P*issedMyOwnPants in this location because UR shameful employees refused to let me use the [toilet] I have piss on my shoe."
Starbucks have now responded, the Mirror reports, saying they just don't have a toilet in that branch.
"We are working to follow up with Ms. Osbourne to clarify any confusion," a spokesperson said. "There simply is no restroom in this store, and inquiring customers are typically directed to a store a few blocks away.
"We sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding and hope to welcome Ms. Osbourne back for a beverage on us very soon!"
Kelly, 32, shared a picture of the branch that refused her access to the bathroom, which is at the junction of West 27th Street and Sixth Avenue in New York.
Her followers were split in their opinion on how she handled the matter, with some sympathising with her.
"Sounds to me like Starbucks owes you a new pair of shoes and a new pair of pants. Wow!" one told her.
"Access to bathrooms is a human right," said another.
But others pointed out that the staff had no legal duty to let her use the loo and said she should have bought something from the cafe first.
"The baristas are just doing their job, following policy and u made their day way harder on a busy weekend by p*ssing all over the store," posted one.
"Have some respect for minimum wage workers everyone on shift at that time deserves an apology from you."
Another argued: "You're an adult, how do you not know how manage your p*ss by now. Are you waiting until the last minute? Did you go before you left home?"
And a couple of New Yorkers suggested the branch in question might not even have a toilet as it's too small.
One follower said: "This one doesn't even have seats, it's tiny."
Kelly was also oversharing with her followers on Saturday, when she got stuck inside her dress and took to Instagram to update her fans.
Flashing her underwear while constricted by the garment, she captioned an image of herself struggling: "When the dress is too big for your body but too small for your ass.
"I've been in this bathroom for 20 minutes trying to get it off!"
