Return from press room for freelance writer maria pease
"A cardinal rule of writing to follow is, never write your own back cover copy. Why? You're too close to the work and can't be objective. Enter Maria Pease.
I contracted her services to write the back cover copy for my upcoming novel, Crossing Lives. The only caveat was, my manuscript was nowhere near finished. Despite this obstacle, Maria took on the project.
Most copywriters won't touch this type of project unless you can furnish them with a copy of the entire work to be summarized.
In a span of three weeks, with just a few chapters and handful of character sketches to go by, she was able to craft a masterful blurb that captured the essence of the story I'm trying to tell.
Maria communicated with me on consistent basis and took a personal interest in my project. This was a pleasant surprise. Most "work for hire" is cold, aloof, and distant.
I highly recommend Maria Pease for all your copywriting needs."
Matt Leatherwood, Jr. Author, Train To Baghdad http://youtu.be/4ENnNDy-Thc
"Thank you very much for the job well done! I hope we will have an opportunity to work together again in the future."
Timo Kestrel - Website Owner, UK
"I needed a website for my new practice and I had no time or skills to do it myself. Thank goodness I met Maria through a business associate.
She had my site up and running in no time. She even gave me some suggestions on how to make some affiliate income along with the service I provide.
If you need a writer who listens to what you want and gives great ideas on how to improve it, call Maria. You won't be disappointed."
Sandee West - Marriage & Family Therapist
"Maria has developed a business brochure and numerous newsletters and has been able to interpret the information I give her into professional writing pieces that communicate to my clients the value of my product.
Maria's professional knowledge has played a large part in portraying my
company in a professional light.
Maria Pease has been a pleasure to work with and I feel she would be an asset to any company in need of a commercial writer."
Lisa Beach -The Box Wrap Company
"I needed to update most of our marketing and sales materials including a brochure, a couple of sales letters, tips sheets and some in-house communications. Maria took care of it all and did a beautiful job on all of it. If you are looking for a capable, and enjoyable copywriter to work with, you can stop looking, Maria is your girl."
Wayne Francis - Window and door installation services
"My advice is to hire Maria Pease to write for you. She is full of great ideas and will execute them beautifully. I have worked with her many times on several different types of projects from articles to websites and more and she never disappoints. She is truly a delight to work with. If you need a writer, look no further than Maria."
Ken Sellic - Business Owner
"I hired Maria Pease to help me promote my business and have been extremely pleased with her performance. She has developed all of my marketing materials to date including brochures, postcards, and promotional flyers.
Maria is a pleasure to work with, always energetic and enthusiastic about the task at hand. She continues to come up with fresh, new, innovative ideas to help move my business forward. She is dedicated to providing a superior product and has continued to exceed all of my expectations. It has been refreshing to me, as a small business owner, to be able to rely on an outside consultant to be professional, reliable, and self motivated."

I'm not perfect
Just perfectly flawed,
With broken edges
That are curved & broad.
I've been ripped apart
Only to be stitched,
Sewn with resilience
And a little added bitch.
I'm a cocktail of disaster
A messed up recipe,
With a teaspoon of spice
And a dash of profanity.
I'm a hurricane
So beautiful to view,
Just not a storm
To get sucked into.
With a life forged
Full of rejection
I became perfect
A perfect imperfection
Source: Perfect imperfection.
I saw this beautiful poem on a friend's blog and decided to share it with everyone. I love it because the writer knows she's not perfect and decided to own her imperfections.
We all need to learn from this poem to be proud of who we are. You can only work on changing the bad things about you not because you want to impress anyone but because you know it's the right thing to do… Let's not forget this month of March is a month of "self forgiveness". Realize your mistakes, own your past, forgive yourself and try to move own.
Every single thing you have been through is part of live molding you to become who you are expected to be.
It's all about you….. Never forget that.

Diarrhea in Dogs is a health problem that often affects your pet dog. Some cases of diarrhea in dogs are not a serious problem, because they can heal with proper care at home. By taking the right action, your own at home can cope with diarrhea attacks with diarrhea not so severe not accompanied by complications of other diseases then you can handle it yourself without requiring help from a veterinarian. It's just that, sometimes the diarrhea experienced by your dog is quite serious, requiring treatment from a veterinarian. Then, how do you treat diarrhea in dogs?
Many causes of diarrhea dogs include viral infections such as Parvovirus and food effects. But the most common cause is the effect of food. Dogs who like to bite, often make it bite any object nearby including dirty objects that cause indigestion. In addition there are customs of some types of dogs that find food from the outside or from the trash. Then, how do you treat diarrhea in dogs?
In order to answer how do you treat diarrhea in dogs, there are first aids you can do. Firstly, give coconut water to clean the bowels. A few minutes after drinking coconut water, the dog will vomit and some toxins in his body will come out.When diarrhea many liquids are wasted. Return the liquid back into the dog by giving the oralitic fluid, do it bit by bit but often. Or mix a spoonful of sugar with a little salt in a glass of warm water. Blend with a spoon.Do not feed or fast for 24 hours if the animal is mature. However, if still a fasting pantry is 12 hours.Give neutral food and do not irritate digestion, such as boiled chicken or tuna stew that is blended. Can also be given boiled chicken egg yolk. There are also special foods for diarrhea dogs sold in pet shops. Then, place the animals in separate places with clean, dry and warm conditions.

During the last millennia Europe suffered a crippling 'Dark Age'. True, recent historians have singled this description out as a misnomer. There was still art, and some trade, a bit of literacy, and peasant's lives weren't as horrid as once thought. All the same the feudal system was a far cry from the free grain for Roman citizens or the democracy and trial by jury of Athens.
Our image of Vikings is often wrong. No Viking helmet has ever been found with horns – such illustrations and descriptions are the fancy of those attempting to depict barbaric ferocity. So too must we content ourselves with the mundane realization that they were predominately peaceful farmers, who only on occasion would sail out to raid other kingdoms. Yet the Scandinavian societies eventually grew in strength and enjoyed great geographic and cultural influence, with colonies and outposts from Greenland to Spain, Moscow to Cape Cod.
In the midst of this civilization were the British Isles, politically divided and comparatively weak. Viking settlements on the island are not merely coastal fair-weather habitations, but far inland towns and permanent bases. From the Norse culture we gain a new pantheon of Gods and heroes to add to the Greco-Roman, and the origins of the English language. Beowulf concerns both of these developments.
Literature after Rome hit a low that would continue until the first stirrings of the Renaissance. What writings there were are usually poetic, although the saga – prose tales of battles and journeys – was also a Norse development. Beowulf is clearly situated in the field of epic poetry. It was written in a language that is seen as the earliest predecessor of modern English. It would be nearly impossible to read today. Its opening lines read:
"Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,
Þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
Hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
This may not look like English, but it is the progenitor, and happens to translate as the first lines of the poem:
So. The Spear-Danes in days gone by
and the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness.
and the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness.
It may strike us that the story begins with days gone by – an oddly nostalgic choice for an epic. Beowulf was the last of the great ones, similar in strength to Hercules. The stories passed down to us concern the story of Beowulf versus Grendel and Beowulf, past his prime, fighting a dragon. The latter story is interesting for two reasons, in that there seems to have been two strains of the Beowulf story: one as a courageous hero and one as a bit of an oafish object of ridicule, all brawn and no brains. The encounter with the dragon is of this latter type, but the dragon itself is the other interesting feature of the latter story. A whole menagerie of beasts as well as important tropes come to the Western world from Norse and, by extension, Germanic and Celtic sources: gold-hoarding dragons, elves, warlocks, giant wolves, the twilight of the Gods (much of the Tolkien's Middle Earth can be seen as heavily Norse influenced).
Some scribbling monk fiddled around with the copy of the manuscript we have. The influence of Christianity on the Norse world eventually took its toll on the unique mythology of Northern Europe. Late depictions of Thor's powerful magical hammer are fashioned as an object in the shape of a Celtic cross. Peculiar, out of place mentions of God and Jesus pepper Beowulf which certainly were not original. But this too tells an important story – an important stage in the progression of Christianity throughout the continent. Written around 900 CE Beowulf comes from the heart of the Viking Age, ~700 – ~1000 CE, by which point the inland kingdoms, sometimes with Viking help, had achieved sufficient strength to unify their surroundings and dispel invading armies or raiders.

SEO is focused on understanding an online audiences' search patterns and provides
the foundation as to the type of content that a website needs to incorporate. As Paul Cookson stated:
"A website without SEO is like a car with no gas". As search engines, such as Google, become ever more
demanding on the requirements of a website, SEO is the engine that drives the vast majority of users to a website.
A true reflection of SEO at work can be seen in the execution of our Mall of Africa SEO strategy. A world class strategy has led to over two million page views on the website since its creation in April. With SEO contributing to over 80% of the total search traffic and an ever increasing number of keyword rankings, we will continue to see the benefits of SEO on a daily basis for many years to come.
With more than 93% of online experiences starting with a search engine, a retailer cannot afford to not be found on Google. Developing the right SEO strategy, with a particular focus to the specific retail centre and area, can make a substantial online difference and subsequently effect awareness, footfall and potential sales. With the inclusion of Google Directions and Locations, the additional information obtained can be overlaid, and create specific, and targeted, communications to the user's that are searching for you.

"Redhill School initially contacted FGX to create our new website. The product was such a success, and the working relationship such a pleasure that we asked them to also create an integrated school management system for us. The result was School Ignition, and it was much more than we anticipated."David Lea - Independent Schools Association of SA

Seeking a second term in District 2, Todd Chase, 47, said working for the future financial health of GRU remains his primary focus.
In 2011, City Commissioner Todd Chase came into office and soon began conveying concerns about the terms of the biomass contract and its impact on electric rates and Gainesville Regional Utilities' finances.
At first, Chase said, he felt like the lone voice of concern among seven commissioners. He recalled former Mayor Craig Lowe once comparing him to Chicken Little at a commission meeting for the dire tone he often used when discussing the impact the biomass contract would have on Gainesville Regional Utilities' future finances and electric rates.
Move ahead to May 2013, when the commission majority voted to send Chase to New York City so an elected official was present at a mediation session with the biomass plant owner over a multimillion-dollar contract dispute going through arbitration.
Chase said he feels this turn of events showed that during his time in office his concerns over the financial and rate impacts of the biomass contract and the expense of government in general for residents and businesses had gained traction with his fellow commissioners.
Chase said he felt the same has happened with his call for commissioners to become more involved in the oversight of GRU.
"What I'm most satisfied with is that we are at least talking about it," he said
Seeking a second term in District 2, Chase, 47, said working for the future financial health of the utility remains his primary focus. It is an issue that permeates city government since the transfer of utility revenues and money generated by the utility tax are very much the lifeblood of the city's general fund, he said.
"While I'm in office, my main priority will be focusing on the long-term viability of the utility," he said.
In the midst of an ongoing community debate over potential changes to the governance of GRU, Chase said he feels the lack of county representation needs to be addressed when roughly 30 percent of the utility's customers are outside the city limits. He's previously said that GRU needs a decision-making board with more utility expertise.
Still, he said he has misgivings over some portions of the bill that state Rep. Keith Perry, R-Gainesville, is mulling to require a vote of GRU account holders on whether a new utility authority board should take over decision making from the City Commission.
Specifically, Chase said a vote of account holders would mean that some registered city voters would not have a voice and that was a cause for concern.
He was also troubled by the current draft of the bill that would have the governor appointing three members of the board that would make decisions for the local utility.
He said he would like to see the City Commission take the lead on an open-minded discussion on potential changes to governance, with the participation of the County Commission and input from residents and the business community.
Ultimately, he said the decision on any change to utility governance should lie with the city's voters.
Chase said he appreciates the commission's push for renewable energy sources through the biomass plant and the solar feed-in tariff. Noting that the city says it has already reached its carbon reduction goals, Chase said there needs to be a balance between affordable rates and environmental responsibility.
"This is not about cheap power. Cheap energy is just a word thrown out by people who want to stir up the issue. The term cheap energy has never left my lips," he said.
"I think there has to be a better balance between environmental responsibility and affordability. I think the average person knows the difference between cheap and affordable."
Looking ahead to 2014, Chase said a key issue is a potential county transportation sales tax referendum and the City Commission's decision on a project list to submit for funding.
In 2012, Chase was the lone city commissioner to vote against opposing the County Commission's transportation sales tax referendum that removed the city's transit projects.
The point of contention that year was bus rapid transit. Chase said roads should be the main priority of a transportation tax but money should also go toward bicycle facilities, sidewalks and transit.
Chase said the city should focus on improving the current bus system, adding routes and cutting down on the time between buses, instead of a rapid transit system.
Three years ago, Chase said he ran because of the financial impact that the cost of government could have on senior citizens or those of moderate to low income. He recalled the money concerns that his mother, who has since passed away, expressed after the commission adopted the fire assessment.
He said he still keeps that in mind when voting on spending and budgeting issues.
Chase said he feels he has treated city residents with respect and listened to their concerns during his time in office. He said he supports the current limit of two terms and won't run for city office in the future.
"I hope people have seen things in my first term that will make them support me in my second term," he said. "Then I will be on my way."

BRONXVILLE, N.Y. -- Bronxville School officials are working with other stakeholders to redesign space within the high school to help students get the most out of their education.
Representatives from Fielding Nair International, a planning and architectural design firm, designed three innovative state-of-the-art classrooms in the district last September and two additional ones this year – a math and science classroom – which were funded through the Bronxville School Foundation.
The firm also met with members of the high school council, students, teachers and administrators to discuss the next steps and prioritize the district's needs.
They discussed redesigning three spaces within the high school – the art room, special education wing and a not yet determined third location.
As the district's five-year plan progresses, administrators said it was an opportunity to share ideas and to further support student development through the use of innovative learning spaces.
"As our students continue to develop the capacity for the kind of work that relates to the four Bronxville Promise dispositions – engaged citizenship, critical thinking, leadership and innovation – we're really moving toward them directing their own learning," Bronxville High School Principal Ann Meyer said in a statement. "The outdated design of a teacher at the front of the classroom with desks in rows does not facilitate student-led inquiry. The reason why we're looking at those spaces is because the way in which teachers educate is no longer being served by the traditional design."
Meyer said the district is looking to provide students with access to areas that are flexible, conducive to interdisciplinary projects, student interactions and teacher collaboration, as well as spaces that allow for the teacher to be the facilitator of the learning.
The district's goal is to realize flexible learning spaces that will support and enhance a creative and innovative environment and continue to provide students with the tools to develop their critical thinking and leadership skills as they engage with the world around them.
"The ideas that are being generated are exciting," Meyer said. "The teachers see our commitment to this work because we're actually changing the physical environment in which they're working and it helps to solidify our movement in this direction."

Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan's Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya : What We Know About Badri
Badrinath bansal a.k.a. Badri of upcoming film 'Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya' falls in love with his dream girl Vaidehi Trivedi who refuses to even consider him. But Badri is just not 'giving up' types and pursues his love against all odds. He takes up the challenge and from there on his journey starts to prove Vaidehi that he is the one for her. Badri is loving, caring and can make you laugh. So what is his character is exactly which Vaidehi doesn't approve of? Dharma Production's film has already sets the expectations high and there is already a chemistry between Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan. Since the character of Badri has been introduced, everyone including Shahrukh Khan and other Bollywood stars are already curious about the character.
Badrinath is only Virat Kohli's fan and a huge fan. Varun Dhawan wrote in a tweet, "Badri is only @imVkohli fan. Thank you virat for being so cool and humble we all have a lot to learn from u #realhero."

— Varun Dhawan (@Varun_dvn) March 1, 2017
Badrinath is kaccha in math and is defeated by compound interest. On the other hand Vaidehi can calculate simple and compound interest. He does eventually wrestle with and learn the formula for simple interest – but compound interest defeats him.
Badrinath Bansal doesn't have a brain, but has a heart which beats only for Vaidehi. During the launch of the trailer of Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Varun Dhawan said that at one point of time, he was like his character Badrinath. He told news agency IANS, "Badrinath doesn't have a brain, but he has a heart. I was like that probably when I was in college." Varun tweeted this too.
BADRI. Characters are created from the heart not the mind pic.twitter.com/pzR4K9QPb0
— Varun Badri Dhawan (@Varun_dvn) February 19, 2017
By the way, Badrinath is very expressive when it comes to women. Badrinath is naive but has no problem approaching women – and, indeed, annoys Vaidehi by skipping the preliminaries and 'taking rishta' to her house. In an interview to Indian Express, Varun said that Badrinath Bansal is very expressive and smart. "Badri will create a scene if he has to. So to become Badri for the film, I had to break a lot of personal barriers. I just cannot talk to girls the way Badri does," he said.
Also Badrinath loves Sanjay Dutt. In the film Tamma Tamma song is there which is a remixed version of the Nineties hit from Thanedaar, featuring Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt.

text: Hi, NSMB has stopped working on my wii, and will not work on 2 other wii's that I have just modded. I am using cIOSrevx21 on 149. The game was working for me last time I played it in the summer, so I know it is not a bad copy. It will not work on either Wiiflow or Configurable USB Loader. The game just loads to a black screen, and then my TV says "No Signal Input" however, I can hear the game through the speakers and I can click on buttons in the game, so it is not froze...just no video. Any ideas?

I'm With Stupid – March 2, 2012
by Todd Hartley
OK, before we get started with this week's column, I have a very important disclaimer: I am not a doctor – not even close. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, I've never even stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. I'm really just an idiot who spouts off about things each week because people allow me to. So keep in mind as you read this that I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.
That being said, when I'm not pulling in money hand over fist as a humor columnist, I do a lot of medical writing for a children's health website. On the surface, this might seem to give me some insight into medical conditions, but since I write more than 50 health-related articles a year, the facts behind each tend not to stay in my brain for very long, rendering me no more informed than anyone else.
In the course of my medical writing, I recently wrote a series of articles on hepatitis, which prior to a couple of weeks ago I had no idea was a liver disease. (See? I told you I'm an idiot.) In doing my research for these articles, I learned a fact that seems, to my limited intellect, somewhat questionable.
There are, as most people smarter than me know, three main types of hepatitis in America: A, B and C. Of these, C is considered the most damaging, followed by B and then A. Doctors recommend that all children get vaccinated against hepatitis B at birth, and there's a good reason for this: hepatitis B, which typically isn't very serious, can sometimes lead to liver damage or cirrhosis that could potentially be life-threatening.
Sadly, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C, but there is one for hepatitis A, and doctors recommend that kids be given this inoculation at birth as well. That sounds reasonable enough, doesn't it? But let's take a closer look at the facts behind this recommendation, a discussion of which I feel is relevant to the national debate on health care in general.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 70 percent of kids under age 6 who contract the hepatitis A virus will be asymptomatic, meaning they won't seem sick in any way. When kids with the hepatitis A virus do get sick, the flu-like symptoms are generally mild and typically clear up within a couple of months, causing no long-term complications. And once someone has recovered, they will be immune to hepatitis A for the rest of their lives.
Now, I'm not going to go all Michele Bachmann on you and claim that vaccines give kids gingivitis or anything like that, but I do question the wisdom of giving everyone vaccines against a disease that really isn't a big deal. I mean, obviously, it would be nice to not feel crappy for a couple of months, but by denying ourselves the chance to strengthen our immune systems against a disease, aren't we actually making ourselves weaker as a result? (That's not a rhetorical question; I really don't know the answer.)
Then there's the price of the vaccines, which often require an expensive doctor's consultation that can make them cost as much as $300. Sure, that's not terribly steep, but when multiplied by the approximately 4 million kids born in America each year, it adds up and is yet another factor in the outrageously high cost of health care in this country. Yes, insurance usually covers the cost for each individual, but if you think insurance companies don't pass those costs on to us, you're dumber than me.
In 1989, a high-water mark before the vaccine was widely used, there were less than 40,000 reported cases of hepatitis A in the U.S. That works out to a rate of less than .016 percent of the population. And virtually none of those 40,000 people who didn't have other pre-existing liver conditions died as a result of the disease. In fact, more recently, the CDC reported a total of zero deaths from hepatitis A from 1999-2009.
Now, I'm not opposed to vaccines. Certainly, I'm quite happy to be vaccinated against polio and smallpox. But there's a part of me that feels like the more we vaccinate ourselves against everything, the less prepared our immune systems will be when something new comes along. Is this actually the case? I don't know, but I'd love it if someone was able to tell me.
Just make it quick, though, because I've moved on to something else, and in a week I'll forget everything I pretended to know about hepatitis.
Todd Hartley recommends taking two pills and calling in sick to work.

It's easy to understand how people were drawn to the Wealth Creation Allowance. Offering buy ins at as little as $2.00 with returns at over 160% it seems like a relatively low risk investment. Gene Wolff explains below how he could tell that the offer was too good to be true.
Wealth Creation Alliance Scam Review
Just days after the Zeek Rewards collapse Blaine Williams and Paul Skulitz launched Wealth Creation Alliance.
Accepting investments of $2 and guaranteeing a ROI of $3.25 per investment made with the company (an effective 162% ROI), Wealth Creation Alliance managed to rack up an alleged 20,000 investors in just three short weeks.
The most irritable part about this new ponzi scheme is how fast it sprouted and also how fast it changed. Just recently Wealth Creation Alliance changed there business name to World Consumer Alliance. MM, this was due to the amount of people yelling scam on the itnernet. So naturally they changed there business name in hope that no one would notice. Atleast no one new.
These brand new system or business model was created on the basis it would recoup all the lost affiliates that went astray after zeekrewards got shut down and labeled a ponzi scheme by the FDA.
Having to change the name of your blatant Ponzi scheme because some guy used the same company name a few years ago to run some other scam? Priceless.
Wealth Consumer Alliance Scam
Williams then went on to introduce the new company name, "World Consumer Advocates Scam", which is notably different to the new name that appears on the WCA website, that being World Consumer Alliance.
I'm not particularly sure which new name WCA are going to settle on so for now I'll go with the name on the website, 'World Consumer Alliance Scam'.
Watch out for Wealth Consumer Advocated Scam!
Getting back to William's reasoning behind the name change, I too have no idea who Chuck Hughes is but note that the cited abundance of scam reports behind the name change to be somewhat ironic.
When WCA first launched, they did so guaranteeing a 162% on all $2 investments made with the company:Personally when i across owners who apparently have been involved with ponzi schemes before, your more than likely gonna run across it again. Most times in marketing you will get blatant BS marketing tactics to get you into the system, upon which alot of things then change after. If you could count up all the SCAM reports combined, well im sure you could make your own judgements on this system.

Our email account is monitored twice weekly and we aim to respond within 7 days of receipt.
Please call 0208 748 7398 to book or cancel appointments, or speak about a medical matter.
Prescription requests can be made online, posted or handed in at reception, WE CANNOT ACCEPT REQUESTS OVER THE TELEPHONE OR BY EMAIL.
Please ask at reception if you would like to join up and make use of our online booking system or view the practice website for further information www.gleberoadsurgery.co.uk.
Thank you for your co-operation.
The RGPA 'Hub' was created in 2015 and designed to extend access to routine GP appointments.
In Richmond, all GP practices work together to provide additional booked appointments at evening and weekends. These appointments are available at two conveniently located "hubs" in the borough.
If we are unable to offer you an appointment with a GP at our surgery the receptionist will be able to offer you an appointment at one of the 2 hubs. These additional appointments will suit anyone who needs an appointment on the same day or unable to see a GP during normal working hours.
When you attend the hub, you will be asked to give consent to the GP you are seeing to access your medical records. This helps the GP to better assess your condition and provide the most appropriate treatment. The GP will update your records so that your own practice is kept up to date.
In addition, the Richmond GP Alliance and Health Help Now have jointly developed a local website designed to help people find the right service in Richmond. The website has been enabled to to be used on mobile devices that have internet access. This means that it can be used on any smart phone or tablet with internet access, as well as via the desktop and laptop computers with internet access. The address is:
There are two hubs, open Monday to Saturday 8am to 8pm. Sunday service operates between 8am and 8pm on a rotation basis between the two Hubs.
26th November - Hub 1 Essex House
3rd December - Hub 2 Teddington Memorial Hospital
10th December - Hub 1 Essex House
17th December - Hub 2 Teddington Memorial Hospital
Bank Holidays operate with one Hub open between 8am to 1pm.
Please speak to one of our nursing team for further information on receiving a vaccination.
We are running our seasonal flu vaccination clinics on the followings days and times:
Flu clinics for 2018 are to be confirmed.
This year the nasal spray flu vaccination is being offered at our surgery to all children aged from 2 to 3 years old, with dates of birth ranging between 1.9.13 and 31.8.15.
If your child falls into this group, or is in one of the 'at risk' groups we will be sending a written invitation to book an appointment during one of our children's flu vaccination clinics.
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
Travel Health Questionnaire
To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.
Travel Questionnaire
Travelling in Europe
If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.
Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:
The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.

Before the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) became the law of the land, proponents marketed it to skeptics as an amalgamation of Republican and Democratic proposals in one package. The most widely used example was Massachusetts' state-wide health care initiative implemented under a Republican governor. One fact that gets overlooked, however, is that it was actually George W. Bush's administration that first promoted a national mandate for an electronic health record system. "In 2004, President Bush set as a goal that every American would have an electronic health record by 2014." 1In 2014, it's now standard practice for a physician to greet his patients with a handshake and a computer tablet. By encouraging physicians to create EHRs for each of their patients, Bush's administration set in motion a practice that would, 10 years later, prove invaluable in providing some of the big data necessary toward understanding and treating complex diseases, developing more effective, individualized patient treatments, and reducing costs.
EHRs are an important part of a much larger puzzle. It's now widely accepted that big data can significantly transform health care delivery and improve outcomes for patients everywhere. The "Policy Forum on the Use of Big Data in Health Care" states: "Big data has the power to transform lives. In health care it can reveal the factors that influence health, help target appropriate care for individuals or populations, enable new discoveries, shape outcomes, and reduce costs."2
Additionally, the authors of the report, "Embracing the Complexity Of Genomic Data For Personalized Medicine," point out that "Numerous recent studies have demonstrated the use of genomic data, particularly gene expression signatures, as clinical prognostic factors in cancer and other complex diseases."3 Big data, in this context, refers to all of the types and varieties of data that are now available and can be integrated with patient information (both health care related and non-health care related) to provide more targeted and effective care and treatment, also known as personalized medicine. Among the data now available is data that is referred to as omic data. In health care, the more popular types of omic data currently being studied include genomic, pharmacogenomic, and proteomic (just to name a few):
- Genomics is the study of the genome (both the genes and the non-coding sequences of the DNA/RNA) of an organism.4
- Pharmacogenomicsis the study of the impact of specific pharmaceuticals relative to a person's genome.5
- Proteomics is the study of the entire set of proteins produced by an organism.6
Data scientists have already accomplished considerable research in these fields. Rich sets of this type of information can be accessed and are often available for download from institutions such as the CDC, NIH, NCI, FDA, HHS, CMS, and many academic institutions. When this data is combined with patient-specific information, diagnoses and treatments have the potential to be more accurate and more effective, thus improving outcomes.
By including all this data, we can provide new insight into the whole health care ecosystem. We also exponentially increase the amount and complexity of information available for decision-making. The authors of the genomic data for personalized medicine report explain state: "Clinical disease states represent exceedingly complex biological phenotypes reflecting the interaction of a myriad of genetic and environmental contributions."8 No matter how smart some of us think we are, our human ability to process this amount of information doesn't hold a candle to the current capabilities of big data's processing power. The following chart from "The Learning Health System and its Innovation Collaboratives Update Report" illustrates how much information a typical human is able to leverage in their decision-making process versus how much information is actually available for decision-making, specifically in the case of diagnoses made by physicians, in the coming years.9
Note that the scale on this chart is a log scale, and the amount of information begins growing by orders of magnitude. This indicates that the amount of information available to assist with clinical decision-making has already greatly overwhelmed a human's ability to process it.
Practical Applications and Solutions Available Now
This is where big data solutions in clinical settings enter the picture. Humans (e.g., physicians and caregivers) need help to effectively analyze the available data and use the results of that analysis to determine the best courses of action relative to current circumstances. Exciting advancements in big data and data science allow us to configure a big data solution to perform much of the required analysis (e.g., genomic pattern matching) necessary to integrate clinical and research data with a patient's unique EHR, and then provide only the relevant and salient results to a caregiver. This pinpoint process allows the caregiver to make decisions based on a manageable amount of highly filtered and relevant information. For example, certain cancer drugs have far less efficacy if a certain genotype is present in a patient. Now that we can analyze the patient's genome prior to prescribing a cancer treatment, a more effective course of treatment can be prescribed immediately rather than waiting weeks or months, only to determine the first prescribed drug was ineffective.
We've learned from our work in this area that the key to bringing together and integrating all of these types of data is a very flexible, accommodating solution architecture. The solution architecture provides a way to link to and/or accept data into it. It also integrates and models the disparate types of data into structures that make sense for the desired usage of the integrated data. Finally, it provides an appropriate interface to facilitate the needed functionality such as reporting, informatics, modeling, research, and eventually, predictive diagnoses. From a technical perspective, the solution architecture must be both scalable (can handle bigger volumes of more types of data and support more users) and extensible (can perform enhanced and new functions).
Because the types of data are varied (e.g., structured data, lab results, text files, scanned images, scanned text, unstructured data, etc.), the solution requires more than one type of data store. The most common type of data store over the last couple decades has been relational databases. This type of storage is very effective for managing structured and well-understood data in support of data integration as well as reporting and analytics. However, it's not as strong at managing extremely large volumes of data and less-structured data such as raw text or documents.
The need to accommodate unstructured data led to the development of different types of data stores, the most popular currently being Hadoop, though other good solutions for unstructured data also exist. This type of data store is best for storing and archiving data as well as doing batch loads of large volumes of data. Its redundant architecture protects data and reduces the need for system backups.
Another common type of data store is columnar databases. They are similar to relational databases, and can often be queried using identical tools, but they store data in such a way that greatly improves response times on queries performing analysis on large volumes of data.
By combining these three types of data stores into a common platform, nearly every type of data and analysis can be supported. Like most big data solutions, the key to the success of this platform still resides with the actual data management protocols, using a robust metadata approach. For data ingestion, all data must comply with the defined ontologies, taxonomies, business definitions and syntactic standards. The loading and integration of the data is effectively managed with rules supplied within the data integration metadata, and the access to and use of the data is controlled through a comprehensive semantic layer. These mechanisms help ensure the end user is getting the data they intend to get and using it appropriately, according to their level of data access as defined by privacy laws.
Many facets of this overall solution are already well-established. Health Information Exchange software solutions allow for the integration of EHRs and other data across many different facilities and organizations. These software packages have built-in capabilities to connect to the all the leading EHR packages and the logic to consolidate patient records and other information. Hadoop and other NoSQL solutions are widely used to analyze the vast amounts of omic data that is produced. Newer and more powerful statistical methods are constantly being developed to improve the understanding and use of the omic data.
In the end, it boils down to discovering a transformative quality of care using a patient's EHR data with research data and omic data to get down to the individual patient to determine variants and isolated factors relating to a person's specific DNA/genomic identity. When this omic data is combined with patient EHR data in real time, and caregivers can access a wide variety of research data/clinical test data at the same time, it greatly increases the efficacy of treatment for patients, minimizes the need for re-visits and reduces costs. The good news is that the technology and big data resources are already in place toward achieving an underlying architecture that can support the wide variety and high volumes of data and make it accessible to researchers, clinicians and physicians in a manner that supports their decision-making processes.

A Turkish man has sued his wife for allegedly insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Turkish Penal Code Article 299 makes it "a criminal offense to insult the president." The offender may receive one to four years in prison.
The man, identified as Ali D., told his wife to stop insulting Erdoğan when he made appearances on television or he would file a complaint against her. She continued and even told him to record her to lodge a complaint.
He obliged and recorded her swearing at Erdoğan on the television.
"I kept on warning her, saying why are you doing this? Our president is a good person and did good things for Turkey," insisted Ali.
He filed the complaint in the İzmir province. She responded by filing for divorce.
"I would file a criminal complaint even if I had a father insulting and swearing at the president," he said.
Erdoğan has launched numerous complaints against people who insulted him since his time as prime minister.
Last month, the authorities opened an investigation into the editor and producer of CNN Turk's morning program after Turkey's Republican People's Party (CHP), Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, allegedly called Erdoğan a dictator.
Erdoğan took his rival to court in September 2015 after Kılıçdaroğlu played "leaked tape recordings involving corruption claims that engulfed former government officials during his tenure as prime minister."
A year ago, officials arrested former Miss Turkey Merve Buyuksarac because she quoted a poem on social media that insulted the president.
Police also arrested a 13-year-old boy during class over an insult against Erdoğan on Facebook.
A few weeks later, a court sentenced two cartoonists to 11 months in prison over a cartoon that implied the president is a homosexual.
The government forced a private firm to fire a custodial staffer after she allegedly insulted Erdoğan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu on Facebook. Initially, the firm refused to fire her but changed its mind when officials threatened to award the cleaning contract to another firm.
Authorities detained a 17-year-old at the end of last year for allegedly mocking the president on Facebook.
A court sentenced Filiz Akinci to 11 months and 20 days in prison over an obscene hand gesture she allegedly made two years ago towards then-Prime Minister Erdoğan.
Last September, police officers raided Turkish magazine Nokta after it published an illustration of Erdoğan taking a selfie next to a soldier's coffin. The officers also seized remaining copies from the newsroom.
On September 4, police ransacked the offices of opposition paper Bugün after the publication ran a story that claimed Turkey sent weapons to the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) in Syria. The paper included pictures that allegedly show the weapon exchange.
Only a few days later, angry supporters of the Erdoğan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) and a member of Parliament attacked the officers of Hürriyet with stones and shouted, "God is great," after the publication tweeted Erdoğan's remarks about the PKK. The outlet deleted the tweet but face a probe for allegedly insulting the president. Editor-in-chief Sedat Ergin condemned the attacks.

What would you do if you ruled apple?
The movie "Jobs" takes a look back at Apple's earlier years under Steve Jobs (played by Ashton Kutcher), but it's the company's future that seems to be on the forefront of most people's minds. Can Tim Cook return Apple to its former glory after stumbling badly in the post-Jobs era? What steps should Apple take?
Most tech analysts shy away from such questions, perhaps fearing that the criticism would paint a bulls-eye on their back for all the Apple zealots to take dead aim. Tech analyst Rob Enderle, however, is the exception. He doesn't fear the slings and arrows that almost always come his way after making sweeping suggestions.
Here are the top changes Enderle says he'd make at Apple:
What We've Got Here Is Failure to Innovate
Nearly every Apple pundit is heralding the coming of a low-end iPhone to compete with Samsung, and it's a good bet Apple will deliver one-but it shouldn't.
A cheap, plastic iPhone coming the fall was "confirmed" after a China Labor Watch report on labor practices last month said Apple is assembling such a device.
The report states: "How does a prosperous company like Apple produce a discounted version of its phones? At this moment, in Shanghai, China, workers in Apple's supplier factory Pegatron are monotonously working long overtime hours to turn out a scaled-back, less expensive version of the iPhone."
But a cheap iPhone goes against Apple's storied legacy of playing in the high-end of markets and its willingness to forego volume sales and market share on the low-end.
A Forbes story earlier this year said that such a product goes against Steve Jobs' four-pillar strategy to offer a small number of products; focus on the high end; give priority to profits over market share; and create a halo effect that makes people starve for new Apple products.
"Kill the efforts for a low-cost anything and look at an even more expensive halo product to re-establish the firm as a Porsche-like consumer electronics company," Enderle says.
Along these lines, Enderle also says Apple should pump even more dollars into the marketing budget. Apple is engaged in a high-stakes game for mindshare with Microsoft and Samsung, and Apple can't afford to pinch pennies here. Samsung, for instance, spent a whopping $400 million last year on Galaxy ads.
Apple is the king of advertising. Its sleek-yet-simple marketing messages consistently hit a cord with high-end buyers; a recent Consumer Intelligence Research Partners survey found that iPhone owners in the United States tend to be richer and better educated than Samsung smartphone owners. Apple television advertisements are some of the best of the business, and Apple needs to do more to offset the damage done by Samsung to its brand, Enderle says.

A sudden gust of wind would send leaves flying though the air glittering as they passed between light and shade. A pure blue sky peeks though the golden aspen and creates a extravagant display of colors to stir and refresh the soul. Living in homes and cities, we sometimes forget we are creatures of nature. Spend an afternoon with nature and you feel refreshed and energetic. The smell and sight of a Fall forest near a running stream is subtle yet awe-inspiring. Wild places are needed to refresh the soul and remind us we are very much a part of this Earth. I may live in a house, but this is where I truly dwell. © Darvin Atkeson 2011 Store | About | Contact | Licensing Powered by ZENFOLIO User Agreement Cancel Continue

I was delighted to get inside the lighthouse even though I had a few events planned for that day.
This lighthouse was never used as a warning but to guide boats into Belfast. In the early years the boats paid for its use but with technology this was no longer required. Fortunately due to automation the cost us lower to maintain.

So today I had to force myself to get out. I have a tendency to isolate, where I just don't want to leave the house or be seen in public. A big part of it is the fear that I will have a panic attack in public, which is very embarrassing. But Today I was determined to dress up, put on makeup, fix my hair, and go shopping. I have a tendency to plan out everywhere I go and have a set reason for being there. for example at Sepora in jcpenny they had a makeup brush on sale I wanted that was normally 38.00 and marked down to 11.00. Also at bath and body if you bring in a copy of sixteen magazines or the print out you get a free full size lotion of the new fragrance Paris allure. Then the real fun begins, HOBYLOBBY, crafters nirvana and pocketbook hell. They always have great sells and the metal gallery is 1/2 off, wires and cords 30 percent off. Look what all I got for around 28.00. I love this aluminum wire with the copper affect and all the pretty antiqued chains.
I would like to dedicate this blog to the Glory Hound inside myself and among us, showing off your creations ,getting positive feedback ,and above all just doing something you can be proud of is so important to all of us in some way. Please never be afraid to ask me how I do something, I don't believe in keeping trade secrets. Please comment, suggest, and enjoy .

Re the Jan. 25 story Advocates: Time to build Metrorail path: The M-Path from the Miami River to the Busway south of Dadeland is a passive park with a meandering path shared by recreational and commuting pedestrians and bicyclists. The original path design welcomed native plants such as the cycad, known as coontie, which attracts the rare and beautiful blue Atala butterfly.
The proposed Underline might be a power grab of public property to develop sections of this linear park for retail and commercial uses. Also, straightening the meandering path into two paths would place the bicycle lane consistently within inches of dangerous traffic on U.S. 1.
The University of Miami architectural school design doesn't include certain urban factors, such as the electrical transmission mega-poles that Florida Power & Light intends to install along the M-Path.
I suggest that all of these creative resources focus on creating a Greenlink from the Brickell Metrorail station, across the Miami River and continue in the northerly direction of the Metrorail. That's a tangible challenge that would be a definite community improvement.
