Breast Cancer Questions
I just got the results from my breast biopsy and it's bad news.
Asked by Gabriella on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
I just got the results from my breast biopsy and it's bad news.
I am a bit in shock. Just made an appointment with Doctor Carlin at Cedars. Does anyone know him? What questions should I ask? I appreciate any help :(

Of course you are in shock. We hold our breaths for so long waiting for test results; hearing the bad news can just put us in a tailspin. So take a deep breath.
I am sorry that I am not familiar with Dr. Carlin.
The Susan G. Komen site has some good "questions to ask your doctor" for various stages of treatment. Go to the site, then click on the "Understanding Breast Cancer" tab and scroll down until you see "Questions to Ask Your Doctor." These are documents you can print out for the different stages of treatment and I found them very helpful. You can print out these PDFs and bring them with you to your visit. Here is the link: http://ww5.komen.org/BreastCancer/QuestionstoAsktheDoctorPDFDownloads.html .
There is so much information to absorb that it really helps to keep a pen and notebook of questions and information that you bring to doctor visits. Some people bring a tape recorder with them. Many people bring a partner or friend. it really helps to have some back up during visits.
I hope this helps a bit. Best wishes to you.
My first visit with my oncologist is a comeplete and total blur. Yours will probably be as well. Be sure to take someone with you. Looks like Lynn1950 took care of your question concerns. Good luck with your treatment. Keep us posted on your progress.

Oh boy. That's quite a dip into the cold water. You are not alone. You have something going for you, and that is-- the ball has started moving in the right direction now. There may be the opportunity to intervene and do something about it. That could be the good news with the horrible news. Everything is so overwhelming and confusing at the start, I think they need an orientation to prepare people for what to expect.
Here are some information resources from the American Cancer Society and the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute:
I think some things are common to most experiences with different cancers, and many other problems:
1. Your detection that something isn't right. For dad's lung cancer, it was difficulty breathing, and a little cough that wouldn't quit. For his pancreatic/biliary cancer, it was a tumor detected in his liver on a follow-up visit for the lung cancer.
2. Doctor visit, examination. Doctor detective starts to gather all the data to start that evaluation process. At some point you end up at the specialist to continue the process.
3. Tests are ordered to see what's going on in there, that can include blood tests, imaging, and biopsy. In my dad's cases, for lung, lymph node, adrenal gland, and liver biopsies, they were done in the hospital, as an outpatient.
4. When these tests are done, in our experience, the oncologist generally knows what's happening with regard to the blood after the lab sends their lab report. The test for the tumor markers was sent to a lab that made a more complete report on the findings. The images are interpreted by a radiologist who makes a report for the doctor. http://www.cancer.org/treatment/understandingyourdiagnosis/examsandtestdescriptions/imagingradiologytests/imaging-radiology-tests-who-does The biopsy is interpreted by a pathologist, who makes a pathology report for the doctor. http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/detection/Fs5_33.pdf These reports have more detailed information, and it's good to ask for a copy of these when you go in to see your doctor-- especially the radiology reports and pathology reports. They have all the million-dollar words on them that can be useful later when you try to remember what Bill Nye the Science Guy just rattled off to you. Supercalifragilisticexpicarcinoma? If you feel confused and lost at first, you are not alone. All of the evidence gathered, and their knowledge and experience narrow down their understanding of the possibilities of what's happening inside your body, until they end up with the most reasonable answer they can reach.
5. You may have already started reading information to familiarize yourself with some of the possibilities, and the terms. I got the impression from the oncologist that most people they see don't want to know the details, they just want it fixed. I like to know about it, so I can try to be a more effective caregiver.
6. Doctor visits to go over the results of the tests, and what to do about it.
7. At this point, when they have made their evaluation based on all that evidence, it's a good time to ask questions and get those copies into your hands. Where are we now? What exactly the heck is going on inside my body? What's the diagnosis? What type of cancer, precisely, do I have? What's the stage, and has it spread anywhere? What are the options for moving forward to fix this problem? Do you deal with similar situations often? What would you recommend to do at this point, if a family member you love was sitting where I am (if they know what's happening at this point)? What can I expect from here on out? How long are we looking at? What, when, and where is the next step? (WHAT NEXT?) If the next step is a doozie, you might want to consider whether you want a second opinion, and take a breather to learn more. There are good questions in those links. You may have questions of your own. Do not be afraid to ask them, or "stand in the doorway" until they are answered. I noticed that people like to run out fast in the medical business. So, have goals for what you want to achieve with each doctor visit, and walk in with a list of your questions ready to go. Bringing someone with you might help. A lot of questions about details of the cancer can be answered by your own research.
8. You are the commander of your body and your health care. At this point, based on all the evidence available, you have an educated assessment on where you are and what you can do about it. Maybe you have read more about it. You have a decision to make about what to do. Write down your goals for your health. In my opinion, err on the side of optimism. When you know what you want to achieve, or the best possible outcome for which you can aim, you can develop a plan for treatment with your doctor, and come up with the best ways to handle the finances, to hit those targets. Start putting those dates onto the calendar. Write everything down in one location.
9. Here we go. Time to kick cancer's rear end to what ever extent possible, so you can get back to living normally, or having the best possible outcome under the circumstances. Get the support of the people around you, execute the plan, head down and don't look back. There are people to help you along the way. You can do this. For some people, the outlook is not as good long-term with some cancers. But that doesn't mean goals can't be set, and someone can't move towards the best possible results, for what's right for them. There are good information resources online for what to expect during treatments, when those are determined.
10. You wonder at some point how you'll know whether you're making any progress. They will measure your progress along the way. You can ask them for your particular cancer how they will determine if it's working, and when you're completed with your treatment.
11. Worrying and fearing about the possibilities long-term. It's time to take a deep breath, turn down the high beams, turn on the low beams, go on with your life, live for today, and take one day at a time, one small step at a time, with hope for tomorrow. For good or for bad, the future will arrive all by itself whether we worry about it in the mind or not. You are not the first one with cancer. You are not alone in your experiences. And, you are bigger than anything that can possibly happen to the cells and tissues of your body during your life.
I dont know your doctor, but I do know that hearing that news is very scary and overwhelming. I also know that second and third opinions were very helpful to me. It is hard to make a decision after talking to someone for a few minutes. Make sure your doctor doesn't rush you, listens to you and gives you all of your options. I went into this knowing my options and having already made my decision, however, I still listened to my surgeons opinions. I don't, for one minute, regret my decision to have a bilateral masectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants. I write a blog and talk about my whole journey there. It may be helpful to read it, but understand that it isn't warm and fuzzy, it's the hard truth about what I went through, physically and emotionally.
I can't tell you about your doctor or your hospital--and certainly nothing about breast cancer--but here are a few things that occur to me.
Yes, bring a notepad. Write down the answers and get the spelling for any unfamiliar words. The doctor should be able to explain all terms and concepts to you in words you can understand without talking down to you.
Write down questions that occur to you ahead of time. Things I would ask include:
Precisely what is the diagnosis--medical terms?
What can I expect from the cancer both if treated and untreated?
What treatments are recommended?
What are the side effects?
How will those side effects be treated?
If chemo is recommended, what are the names of the chemicals--spelling?
How will I know if this is working?
Other questions will occur to you. At this stage you should have lots of questions and the doctor should answer them. Knowledge is strength.
Oh, and some mixture of fear, anxiety, and confusion are normal at this stage. I found that focusing on how I was going to fight helped me.
All of these are good lists of questions. I would recommend taking someone help listen and ask questions and if possible recording the Drs answers (easier than notes that will distract from listening). I would add the folloing questions:
What are the alternative treatments that are not being recommended and why? Alternative may be other chemos, radiation (there are actually several forms) etc.
How often will you get scans to check for tumor reduction,growth or spreading?
How fast does my type of cancer normally grow? This is important to know to understand how agressive the cancer is and it helps in determiniong if the treatment is doing good or not. If the treament slows the growth then it is helpiing some but not achiving the ultimatre goal of getting rid of it.
If you are going to have chemo you will want to know the schedule for the regimen and will want to get meds to help with the side effects prescribed and filled before treanment.
You should also ask about things like cancer support groups, for both you and family members. While you are the one with cancer your whole family will be going through it with you and support may help them help you.
As others have said we know that feelings of fear and anxiety are normal but you need to be able to control them. If you start feeling overwhelmed or depressed please tell your Dr as soon as possible. These can be treated with meds.
Good luck with your journey your cancer can be beat.
It looks like you'll be in excellent hands with Dr. Karlan. Beth is an incredibly well-credentialed oncologist, and heads up the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists. Her education, research and practice record is outstanding. Here's a link to her bio
Best of luck to you. Like others have said here, keep your chin up, your determination in high gear, your focus on healing, and you'll come through this!
Be sure to bring your questions in writing. Also, I strongly urge you to bring a friend with you, someone who will sit in the back of the room and take notes to review with you later. You are about to be bombarded with information and your mind may get "hung up" on things. My husband and I had a friend that would come to all the appointments and it was amazing how much information she captured that we had missed. I am so grateful to her for being that person for us.
En dfSorry that you just became s member of our club. Hugs. Remember to take someone with you to this and all appointments get notebook to write your questions and the answers you get,, get contacts info so you can follow up, I email a lot. Questions you may want to ask. Type, stage of cancer what type of treatment plan is the doctor considering, how soon will treatment start. What if any pre- treatment tests/ scans will be needed. Are you seeing an oncologist, breast surgeon or both. Ask how the doctors feel about getting a second opinion (I highly recommend you do) if they say no find someone else. Good luck, once the shock wears off and things start falling in place it does get relatively easier. The waiting and uncertainty is the worst
We all react differently and need different things, but universally we are all in shock and overwhelmed especially with learning all there is to know and then making decisions. And that doesn't even address the emotional roller coaster ride.
I have been pushy, pushy asking a thousand questions. As much as possible, I type up everything on my laptop. I type the questions for my doctors and print them out and sometimes even send them by email a head of time. At appointments, I type directly onto the documents on my computer. When my husband goes with me, he has a hard copy so he can take notes. Even with all this, I miss some things or just can't remember. It's like taking a graduate course without getting any credit for it but the post test is unreal.
So absolutely do not let anyone rush you and get as complete answers as you need and write everything down. I have a notebook full of just "my breast cancer" stuff, everything from research papers to pathology reports to a timeline of the diagnosis and treatment to a list of all the drugs I got during surgery. I am still working on a second opinion
I am a survivor from Utah, but I suggest you check out www.breastcancer.org. It is a site I still go to. Remember, Breast Cancer is not the death sentence it was once thought to be! This was my second cancer & there are a lot of us Survivors out here. Good luck to you. Try to bring someone with you to your appointments. They can help you remember what is said.

With the use of high–yielding varieties of crops, the use of fertilizers and pesticides has increased a lot. Excess fertilizers may mix with surface water and may get drained into water bodies (surface runoff). These fertilizers overstimulate the growth of algae, causing eutrophication, and robbing the water of dissolved oxygen vital to other aquatic life. During the past century, lakes in many parts of the earth have been severely eutrophied by sewage and agricultural and industrial wastes. Continue reading What is Eutrophication?

A playground on a winter�s day. A father pushes a toddler on a swing, a dead look in his eyes. On the climbing frame, twins jostle each other; their mother stands underneath, issuing warnings. I see only one adult smiling, but then she�s talking to her friend. There�s nothing revelatory about parents wishing they were anywhere but the playground. What is striking is how few will admit to feelings of ambivalence towards their children. Parental ambivalence is one of the last taboos, yet is as old as mythology itself. Think how many fairytales begin with children cast out, such as Hansel and Gretel abandoned in a wood, or Snow White condemned to death by her stepmother. In modern usage, ambivalence often means having mixed feelings about someone; as developed by psychoanalysis, ambivalence refers to the fact that, in a single impulse, we can feel love and hate for the same person. It�s a potent, unpalatable idea. Yet, as any honest parent will tell you, this is often how it feels. Speak of it, though � as Lionel Shriver did in We Need to Talk about Kevin, (2003) � and you face criticism from those who would rather not believe that parents can harbour such feelings. Part of the reason must be that we live in a society in which, according to the NSPCC, one in four young adults is �severely maltreated� during childhood. If we acknowledge that we, too, have less than loving feelings towards our children, does this mean we could be abusers? Societal pressure exacerbates the situation. �Congratulations!� friends say, on learning news of pregnancy. We may be pleased, but also aware of the pressure to have an adoring relationship with our baby. Motherhood is credited, in the words of Rozsika Parker, author of Torn in Two, a study of maternal ambivalence, with being able to �satisfy a woman�s longing for union�. But what if, Parker writes, a mother doesn�t �experience a joyful sense of love and oneness�? �Some do but many don�t,� she says. �The nineteenth-century tradition of presenting a new mother with a pin cushion bearing pins arranged to spell out the words �Welcome Little Stranger� was in many ways a more appropriate representation of the state of affairs.� How much harder to admit ambivalence when you�ve been through IVF or spent years being grilled by an adoption agency. The high incidence of post-natal depression in the UK, where three in ten mothers are said to be afflicted, cannot be unrelated to the pressure on mothers to deny their ambivalence. Donald Winnicott, who spent a lifetime working with families, understood why the mother�s scales of ambivalence might tip towards hate. The baby, he wrote, �is a danger to her body in pregnancy and at birth�, he �is an interference with her private life� and he �is ruthless, treats her as�a slave� (Winnicott, 1949: 201). Then there is the effect of the arrival of a third party on a couple�s relationship. Nora Ephron saw the birth of a baby as like �throwing a hand grenade into a marriage�. Lionel Shriver�s mother warned her that motherhood would �completely transform� her relationship. �Though she did not spell it out,� Shriver writes, �there was no question that she meant for the worse� (Shriver, 2005). When mothers admit to ambivalence, as Rachel Cusk did in her memoir A Life�s Work, they are attacked as irresponsible. And so we enter parenthood oblivious to the demands ahead. Estela Welldon, author of Mother, Madonna, Whore, says that the trend to have children later in life can trigger hostility. �For people these days, having children is a big investment. They often give up part of their careers. The parents are investing a lot, and they expect a lot in return.� If the return is not forthcoming, hostility may not be far away. Hostility can also be triggered when we are made to face things we�d rather not. Before having children, it is possible to think of ourselves as patient and tolerant. Parenthood strips us of these illusions. The problem is not that we feel ambivalent, but that we deny it. We soon cease to know what is appropriate anger and what is dangerous hostility. Through anxiety, we try to repress all negativity in ourselves and in our children. As Welldon cautions: �The important thing is that children of whatever age feel they have the right to express feelings of hostility and anger. The more they try to repress it, the more it will explode into action.� What can psychoanalysis teach us? A hypothetical example; Sadie�s mother died giving birth, and she was raised by her father. To make him happy, Sadie repressed whatever negativity she felt. When her boyfriend left her with two young children, rather than express her rage, she made an attempt on her life. She found it difficult to tolerate negativity from her children and, during therapy, found it hard to express hostile feelings towards her counsellor, although she would routinely �forget� to come to her session after a break. Gradually she became more overt in her hostility towards her counsellor. As she discovered that he could survive her antagonism, she became more assertive at home, and her children began to calm down. As Estela Welldon puts it, �We are not therapists so that people can love us. People need to be able to not like us. People slam doors at me, they shout at me. I facilitate their expression of their anger.� Once we have said how angry we are, we are less likely to do harm and more likely to draw appropriate boundaries with our children. Donald Winnicott told how he and his wife looked after a nine-year-old boy with a history of violence and truancy. When the boy became violent, Winnicott said, he �engendered hate in me�. The fact that Winnicott allowed himself to acknowledge this meant that he was able to contain his own impulses to retaliate. �Did I hit him? The answer is no, I never hit. But I should have had to have done so if I had not known all about my hate and if I had not let him know about it too� (Winnicott, 1949: 200). Winnicott claims that the analyst, like the mother, must be able to hate as well as love his patients: �However much he loves his patients he cannot avoid hating them and fearing them, and the better he knows this the less will hate and fear be the motives determining what he does to his patients� (Winnicott, 1949: 195). If we deny our hate, we become risky to others. Becoming aware of our destructive impulses can bring on guilt-driven depression, but guilt can spur us to do better. In the end, our children will survive our hate, just as they will survive our love. In the Brothers Grimm�s �The Three Languages�, the father, enraged by his son�s refusal to obey, orders his servants to kill the boy. The servants disobey, and the son survives. This may be the Grimm way of saying that we are not as destructive as we fear. If that�s the case, perhaps we need be less afraid of admitting our ambivalence.Tags -

Sinead O'Connor insists she can prove American Music Awards bosses plotted to recruit Pope Francis to introduce her at the upcoming ceremony after they dismissed her story as "lies".
The Irish singer recently exposed the plan in a post on her website, revealing AMAs executives approached the Vatican to see if the pontiff would be interested in welcoming O'Connor onstage via satellite.
O'Connor, who famously ripped up a photo of the Pope's predecessor John Paul II during an appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1992, admitted even she was taken aback by the verve of the awards show organizers, and wasn't surprised when they heard nothing back.
The event bosses subsequently laughed off the singer's claims, insisting they did not reach out to the leader of the Catholic Church, but now Sinead claims she has proof they did.
O'Connor has passed on emails between her management team and her record label bosses, which clearly reference a discussion they had with AMAs staff about appearing alongside the Pope, to TMZ.com.
In one, Sinead's manager claims when he asked who producers were trying to snag for the show, the record label rep said, "Take a deep breath... Pope Francis. No joke."

Baker Peak Trail is a 5.6 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Danby, Vermont that features beautiful wild flowers. The trail is rated as moderate and primarily used for hiking and walking. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

wild flowers
Nice hike with a lot of interesting things to see in the woods. Very wooded until the very top. It was a little hard to tell when you reached the very top, I think we made it. A few stream crossings to navigate.
Nice trail! My dog loved it!
HIked this trail two labor days ago and it was humid as hell. I've seen a few reviews about the "boring" beginning of this trail....within the first 5 mins of the hike I saw a gorgeous Barred Owl in the ravine to the left of the trail. Luckily I had my binoculars with me and watched it for a good 5 mins, it wasn't bothered at all by my presence. As for the trail itself I loved it..moderate hike but challenging in the humidity, thinking ahead I packed cold beers for the summit and that was my motivation to fight through the stifling heat
Kirsten K.
It's like a walk through the forest...Although steadily uphill, it is not very steep. The surrounding area remains monotonous. No outlook, no variety on the trail. The overlook is not worth the effort. Besides one million flies.
At the beginnig of the trail there is not even a map.
Best parts of the hike were the stream and waterfall on the way up, the bridge sort of on a cliff, and the white rock scrambling at the top (New for me). It wasn't the best summit view and the flies were very bad towards the top.
Tips: heavy bug spray, lunch at Cilantro Taco in Manchester post-hike :)
I give it a four because i dont have much to compare it too yet. Overall i thought it was a pretty good trail. There werent a whole lot of markees, but they were placed where they were needed haha. It's pretty easy to stay on the trail otherwise. Like some others said the first 15 minutes or so is bland like your normal trek through the woods, but then it changes after the bridge haha. well worth it if youre nearby. I drove 90 minutes to get there and dont regret it a bit.
First ten minutes is kind of a boring access path behind people's properties. Then the trail gets narrow, crosses a sweet bridge and begins to make some good gains up hill. Beautiful water feature with a flowing brook that comes and goes throughout the hike. Awesome leaf peeping hike. Afternoon or morning adventure. View facing West. Could be a great running trail. Light tread. We did it hungover, so, I'd say it's on the easier side!
Great hike. Keep dogs on leash until you cross the old bridge, its a sheer granite face. At Mcginnis Creek you can continue to Bakers Peak ( North ) or head right ( East ) up to the Lake Trail. The last third of a mile is a tad strenuous. Once at the top the views are great, then you can head south along the ridge and hook up to the Lake Trail. The trail bisected my in-laws property and I have done this hike often. There are many Black Bear in this area. I usually hook a small cow bell on my pack, as well as , and especially on my dogs. There are also a good number of hunters in this area, make sure to wear blaze if hiking during hunting season.
A great hike! Well marked and the view was worth it!

Very fun moderate hike, getting to the peak is very rewarding.
A very well maintained trail, with good signage and great views, plenty of water and at this time of year, empty. We parked by the gate which was open. We came up from Peru Vt, which was a great treat to come back down to and have snacks at JJ Hapgoods.
A great half-day hike, especially peak fall colour!
Bruce E.
Great weather 70 a the trail head, got a little chilly at the top. Really nice trail, views appear very quickly on the way up, I was going to head over to Griffith Lake but thought I'd save it for next time. Parking was easy room for 5 cars. Found a stolen backpack in the woods at the trail head and called the guy who 'lost it'. It turned out to be my good deed for the day, along with a very enjoyable hike. Will do it again in the winter.
Just did this hike for the second time! Excellent views from the peak. I ate lunch up there yesterday and it was beautiful. I definitely recommend going up there in the Fall to see the foliage.

And speaking of bad guys…
A delightful development in the world of opera dvds has occurred. Two (!) versions of Paul Hindemith's 1926 opus, Cardillac have recently appeared. I make the assumption that even serious opera fans may not be acquainted with this fascinating piece, except in Germany. Maybe there are old records of Hans Rosbaud or Otto Klemperer conducting it, I haven't looked. I assume there are cds of the work… Arkiv probably has some.
As in the cartoons, only a puff of dust was in the air to indicate where I'd been been just prior to rushing off to order the DG Munich production, featuring one of the great Wotans and my favorite Sachs, Donald McIntyre, New Zealand's claim to operatic greatness as Cardillac, the murderous goldsmith, and the redoubtable Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting a production directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, from the Munich Staatsoper (1985).
Robert Wiene's cinematic masterpiece, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari(1919) is commonly supposed to be the definitive expressionistic statement in film; Cardillac is a sort of musical equivalent. Nightmarish obsession is coupled with grotesque humor and unexpected pathos in the opera, as in the film. Like Fritz Lang's "M", one is dealing with a vicious psychopath who not only cannot help himself, but is perversely proud of his crimes; they are a part of himself, the most intimate part of himself. Hindemith, in his "bad boy" period, is a greater exponent of Berlin asphalt grittiness than Kurt Weill, who was a theatrical master and a creator of memorable, even immortal tunes, but whose greatest works (Dreigroschenoper and Mahagonny) are simple to a fault compared with Hindemith's comprehensive musical technique.
Weirdly, I also perceived Cardillac to be a cruelly ironic gloss on Wagner's Die Meistersinger; the story of a craftsman in love with his craft, who takes that love a little too far; way, way too far in Cardillac. The versatile McIntyre is as perfect for the Mr. Hyde side, Cardillac, as he is for the Dr. Jeckyll side, Hans Sachs. A monster in the one case and a noble human being in the other (Hans Sachs, not Stevenson's mediocre Dr. Jeckyll) these two opposites are crazily similiar in at least some of their conceits. In fact, Hindemith ought to have altered the E.T.A. Hoffman story by setting it in Nuremburg rather than Paris. But if he did that, Regiedirectors would inevitably bring in the Nazis. Yuck.
I recommend this opera, and the dvd mentioned, with great conviction.

New AIDS Pill Simplifies Treatment
FDA Is Close to Approving A Once-a-Day Medicine That Combines Three Drugs
AIDS patients, who have long endured drug regimens requiring them to swallow multiple pills each day, may soon have a much simpler option: a triple-combination "cocktail" in a single daily pill.
The new pill is the result of an unusual corporate joint venture between Gilead Sciences Inc., a Foster City, Calif., biotechnology company emerging as a major player in the market for AIDS drugs, and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., an established pharmaceutical giant. Despite a complicated history, the two partners managed to forge...

Policy Interventions for Improving Child Health Outcomes in Pakistan
Monica Das Gupta, World Bank Group
Ghazala Mansuri, World Bank Group
Nistha Sinha, World Bank Group
Tara Vishwanath, World Bank Group
High child mortality in Pakistan results from poor service delivery, and constraints on women accessing services. This is because of cultural restraints on women's mobility and on their autonomy to make and implement health care decisions for themselves and their children. Both these problems have been widespread in South Asia, but some countries such as Bangladesh have successfully mitigated them by expanding the density of fixed facilities, and also through home health visitor programs. These two approaches have also been tried in Pakistan, and here we analyze their impact. We find that both approaches increase the likelihood of immunization, but that health visitors have the larger impact. However, we find that health visitors do not significantly increase the uptake of other maternal and child health services, indicating lack of synergy between the health visitor program and the health facilities. Policies to improve these synergies would further improve child health outcomes.

Topic : Job description template definitions.
Prepare job summaries, if relevant. You can use the job description template you use for each position that you advertise by filling in the template with the information that is relevant to that position. However, if you do (or expect to do) a lot of hiring of a particular position, you might make a special template that includes a summary of that job. This will save you some time.
To make it easier to create and manage job descriptions that are complete, clear and consistent, it is best to start with a job description template. The number of templates you need will depend on the variety of jobs in your organization, but as with all things - less is more. But while many HR professionals and managers agree that job description templates are a foundational talent management tool, many struggle with knowing exactly what to include in their templates.

Shalom to ALL
With All Saints Day and All Souls Day behind us and our clocks turned back, as Daylight Savings Ends, let us move forward into November, where we celebrate Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Native American Heritage Day. Pray a special blessing upon all our veterans, who served their country well and allow us to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Did you know that the first Thanksgiving in America and all that have followed since are based on a biblical feast day? May we continue to honor God with the first fruits of our labor and let the words of our lips and the meditations of our hearts be pleasing unto Him. As we gather with friends and family around our holiday table, say a special prayer for those who are less fortunate.
New Mexico has more Native American Tribes than any other state in our union, all with a rich heritage worth finding out more about. May we all honor our diverse cultures and work toward true unity in our communities.
As we fall back and regroup for the remainder of 2017 and look forward to what God would have us do come 2018, I ask that you seek after His Vision, Passion, Power and Prayer. If you would like to hold an event in your area of our state or the surrounding region, don't hesitate to contact me.
May The Lord Continue to Bless You This Month,
Mark Tross
NM Prayer Connect Coordinator

"[Frank Lowy] is a man who has deliberately sought to be under the radar here [in Israel]... It may not bear his name, but the Israeli version of Sydney's Lowy Institute for International Policy - the Institute for National Security Studies, attached to the University of Tel Aviv - is equally his creation." (The quiet benefactor: Lowy's close ties with Israel, Jason Koutsoukis, SMH, 29/9/08)
"It was my birthday this week (yes, another year older) and how did I spend my day? Well I had lunch with Frank Lowy, for starters! Yes I was sitting just 2 seats from Frank Lowy at The Lowy Institute's Wednesday lunch. The Lowy Institute is an independent international policy think tank based in Sydney - but apart from the Wednesday lunches on site, everyone can access a huge array of podcasts, research papers and an extensive video library of its presentations via the website. The objective of The Lowy Institute is to generate new ideas and dialogue on international developments and Australia's role in the world. Its mandate is broad. It ranges across all the dimensions of international policy debate in Australia - economic, political and strategic - and it is not limited to a particular geographic region. Most of the events at The Lowy Institute are free to attend but they book out fast so my friend Sue Jackson at Westpac Women's Markets suggested we join The Lowy Institute's Wednesday lunch club - to get advance notification of the free lunchtime lectures every week. So along I went to hear about Post-Election Iran from a visiting Israeli Professor and sure enough - at my very first turnout - I met Frank Lowy!" (Lunch with Frank Lowy & tap into the resources of the Lowy Institute, Jen Dalitz, The SheEO Blog, sphinxx.com.au, 21/8/09)
Hmm... Sounds like The Lowy Institute's running a bit of an agenda here. But just how much of an agenda? Well, if its Australia & The World: Public Opinion & Foreign Policy polls from 2007 to 2009 are anything to go by, its agenda could be described as positively elephantine.
Let's deal first with The Lowy Institute's elephant-in-the-room - Israel. In its 2007 poll, just over 1,000 Australians were asked to rank 15 foreign countries on the basis of their feelings towards them. The higher the %, the more favorably those polled felt towards these countries. Of the three Middle Eastern nations included, Israel scored 50%, while Iraq and Iran scored 36% and 34% respectively. Perhaps the 50% rating for Israel came as something of a blow to Frank, and so may explain Israel's omission in the 2008 and 2009 polls. Such a pity. It would have been most interesting to see Israel's post-Gaza approval rating in the just-released 2009 poll, but alas we're afforded no such opportunity. Out of sight, out of mind.
Given, then, that the institute's elephant-in-the-room is Israel, its current agenda could only be... Iran:
In the 2007 poll, we find the following thoroughly loaded and decidedly Israel-centric question: "Iran has recently announced that it has successfully enriched uranium. Do you think that Iran is producing enriched uranium strictly to fuel its energy needs or do you think it is trying to develop nuclear weapons?" While 62% of respondents plumped for the latter, and 19% guessed the former, only 19% had the humility to say they simply didn't know. In the same poll, we find the following question (without, it should be noted, being told whether only the above 62% were asked): "You said you think that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. In your opinion what is the best response?" It seems that 62% opted for a combo of economic and diplomatic efforts, 22% for diplomatic efforts, and just 9% for military force. (Total:93%)
In the 2008 poll, by contrast, Iran (and Iraq - but not, as I've already indicated, Israel) cropped up only in the 'rate your feelings towards the following (17) countries' section, scoring 38%, a 4% improvement on the 2007 poll's rating.
The 2009 poll, however, gave Iran a prominent place, chiming in with the wider USraeli-Murdoch media war on that country as a diversion from the fallout of Israel's rampage in Gaza and a softening-up of public opinion for a similar Israeli rampage in Iran. Iran again featured in the 'rate your feelings' section, gaining another 38% rating. It also cropped up when those polled were asked to 'rate your trust in other countries to act responsibly', coming in with the largest negative rating at 75% (in contrast to the US's positive rating of 83%!). As well, Iran even got its own heading with the following commentary: "Iran's nuclear program has attracted considerable media attention since our last poll. To test Australia's preferred way of approaching Iran's continued obstructionism [Note the spin and the assumption that we have to do something], we asked people whether they would be in favour of or against the use of military means, economic sanctions, and diplomatic negotiations to deal with Iran developing nuclear weapons. [Note the assumption that this is what Iran is actually doing] The most favoured response was 'diplomatic negotiations', with 85% of respondents supporting these. A large majority (69%) also supported 'economic sanctions', while just a third (32%) were in favour of 'military means'." That 23% increase over the 9% warmonger finding of the 2007 poll must have been gratifying!
Now here's a question I'd like to see in a Lowy Institute poll: While Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program has attracted considerable media attention, Israel's actual possession of 200+ nuclear weapons has not. Is this because a) Australia's mainstream media is biased in favour of Israel; b) Israel is harping on Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program to divert attention from its own nuclear weapons stockpile; c) Israel is more than ever in need of a diversion following the exposure of its war crimes in Gaza; d) Israel needs to deflect attention away from its colonization of the West Bank and East Jerusalem; e) Israel is always in need of an external threat, whether real or not, to justify its aggression towards its neighbours; f) All of the above?

The realm contains 3 fishing spots, numerous sheep for shearing, rams for killing and a range. The realm is the perfect spot for lower levelled fishers wishing to level up. The range is in close vicinity of the fishing spots, allowing for easy cooking. However, access to the realm requires completion of the Holy Grail quest. The Magic whistle obtained from the quest will be needed to reenter the realm if players do not use the Fairy ring. The realm is usually empty, thus making it the perfect area to kick back, relax and fish. Also, there is a lake with about twenty level 2 ducks. These are very good for training magic and ranged for low-levelled players.
When you first enter the Fisher Realm during the quest, it is in a bad state due to the Fisher King being sick. During the Holy Grail, the Fisher King's son Percival takes on the mantle of King and the Fisher Realm becomes lush once more.
Travel Edit
- Blowing a magic whistle under a tower near a gold mining spot north of Brimhaven.
- Fairy ring BJR (3 3 2) is another way of accessing Fisher Realm.
Music Edit
- Miles Away (after the quest)
- It is possible that it was based on the earliest version of RuneScape, as the realm looks similar to landscape of Lumbridge or southern Asgarnia, and also like in RuneScape Classic, the strongest monster used to be the Black knight, although the titan version is quite a bit stronger and different looking.
- The fact that this realm cannot be reached by conventional means and that Percival later becomes king of it is a reference to a King Arthur legend where after Sir Percival, Sir Bors, and Sir Galahad find the Holy Grail, Sir Galahad dies, Sir Percival becomes king of the land surrounding the magic castle holding the Grail which cannot be found using conventional means, and Sir Bors reports back to King Arthur.
- If entering through the fairy ring and standing in the north-west corner of the Fisher Realm you can see the area of the Freaky Forester event by using the Orb of Oculus and going as far to the north-east as possible.
- In the image of the Fisher Realm, there seems to be a garden which says " PCB L3S " it is located right behind the house with the cooking range.

Pocket-sized folk 'taster' EP - 'The f Spot' from Folkstock(June 02, 2014)
Their mission statement includes the phrase 'Opening opportunities for aspiring acoustic artists to fulfil their dreams' … and since I first met Helen Meissner, the impetus behind Folkstock Arts Foundation at last year's Folkstock Festival, I never experienced a single moment's doubt about the potential for the concept. The journey continues with Folkstock Records, responsible for some outstanding folk artists, and for a pocket-sized folk 'taster' EP - 'The f Spot' - gives further exposure to some seriously skilled artists.
The EP brings together the talents of Zoe Wren within the soaring vocals and ominous portents of 'Pandora's Box', Luke Jackson's longing, image-rich narrative 'Mary May', and the softly wistful voice of Minnie Birch' on 'Castles'. There's also the gentle examination of 'Butterfly' conveyed through Roxanne de Bastion's distinctive vocals and the combination of Marina Florance and Ben Smith with the deep Americana-tinged sadness and fatalistic insights of 'Getting Away'.
Tongue in cheek or simply one letter removed from that elusive zone, 'The f Spot' expounds precisely what Folkstock promises: '… nurture, mentor, produce and promote original acoustic talent.' And should you be among the few that haven't yet encountered the potency that is Folkstock then 'The f Spot', produced by Lauren Deakin Davies, is as a good an introduction as you could want.

If a bill passes both houses by a 2/3 majority the first time around, does it still go to the President's desk? If so, can he still veto it, forcing it to pass through both houses again at 2/3rds? Or would a bill that passed both houses the first time by 2/3rd or more become law immediately, without going to the President's desk, even ceremonially?
When we're talking about 50% and 2/3rds majority, is that ALL the members of Congress, or just the ones who are present when the voting is done? For example, if it wasn't a very controversial bill and only 20 senators were on the floor that day, could it be passed by a vote of merely 11? Same question for the house.

Entries are invited in six categories:
1) Residential – Individual Houses
2) Residential – Multiple Houses
3) Commercial
4) Institutional
5) Urban
The Urban category includes large projects such as townships or neighbourhoods where the network of space or other urban elements are critical to the functioning of the development. In addition to masterplans, this category can apply to infrastructural developments such as parks, roads, transit systems, etc.
6) Socially-Inclusive
A Socially-Inclusive development is one with a strong social agenda, issues such as social equity, community ties, livelihood, stakeholder involvement through participatory design, etc.
In the case of mixed-use developments (where, for instance, the programme is a mix of commercial and residential), the category selected should reflect whichever is the dominant programme, measured as percentage of total floor area.

The map is generated through the NBN Gateway using their Interactive Mapping Tool.
This species should be searched for on limestone soils and on old, mortared walls. The growth habitat is similar to that of M. sabuletorum (described elsewhere) except that the thallus becomes minutely squamulose (scale-like), the squamules white with a dark centre. Under the microscope the spores will be seen to be shorter: 14-20ųm compared with 18-45ųm for M. sabuletorum.

You've listed your home for sale and are open for business.
Let the showings begin...
Here are 3 reasons I believe you should NOT be present at your home's showings:
1) Awkwardness
Whether the potential buyers are coming through the home with their realtor or your realtor, you want them to take their time and really get a 'feel' for the home. Sellers always want to walk them through the home (or hover anxiously in the background) pointing out certain things that they feel is superior, or just rave about the neighbourhood.
This is awkward and serves no greater purpose.
I compare it to walking into a clothing retail store… what do you as soon as a sales person comes up to you? You say 'just looking' then proceed to bee line it away from them. Now what if that same salesperson followed you around and pointed out every clothing rack, the amazing quality of fabric and why you should purchase it at their ticket price? Now flip the switch… imagine walking into a retail store with your personal shopper that you trust and already have a relationship with (ie. Your realtor) and you proceed to sift through all the racks, try on different clothes and compare… I guarantee, you will take your time, ask lots of questions and really be able to enjoy the experience which ultimately leads to making a purchase.
2) Bias
Of course you are. We all are. It's your home. You paid a lot of money for it and no matter what it looks like, the condition it's in, it will always be the 'best' home on the street.
That brutal wallpaper in the living room is 'art deco', those green granite floors are one of a kind, and the fifty year old hardwood flooring under the broadloom is exactly what people are looking for. Right?
A little extreme but nonetheless, no matter the work you put into your home, you want to showcase it and 'sell it'. This becomes problematic when you harass the buyer with all these upgrades/features and the buyer couldn't care less, sees right through the BS, or simply wants to focus on what's important to them.
This is where a great buyer's agent comes in – they are able to focus on what it is the buyer's really looking for in a home and tailor the showing, the experience, to that.
3) Emotions
Imagine you being present for a showing and the potential buyers have a look around and tell you the home is ugly and overpriced.
Do you:
a) cry
b) open up the conversation for debate
c) tell them to *$%# off
Let's face it; there will be all kinds of people walking through your home with different personalities, backgrounds & cultures. Some may barely peak their head through and some may spend an hour only to buy another home… all these high and lows will take its toll on you.
Some buyers and agents will try to sway you one way, and maybe after five bad showings, you are no longer thinking rationally. It's important to take the emotions out of the entire process and being present for showings makes it that much more difficult to do so.
Do not be home for showings.
Buyers hate it.
Buyer's agents hate it.
Contrary to popular belief, you gain nothing from it and if you don't think your agent who is hired to sell the home is able to do a better job than you in presenting your home - you've hired the wrong agent!

The only way I can get it to work is if I hold the card in (slot 1) just a little, and it plays just fine (shows Danny phantom icon and everything). If I release pressure, it freezes whatever game I'm playing. I have tried it with official Nintendo games and it doesn't have this problem. Any help is appreciated as I am desperate to get my m3i zero to work. I flashed it the day I got it and it has worked fine in my lite, except the occasional time it isn't detected. I got the card from Kick Gaming about four and a half months ago. I have tried using scotch tape to add thickness to it, but it didn't work. Thanks again, Ken

We were delighted to welcome Alexandra Dariescu to Brighton for the opening concert of our new season at Brighton Dome on Sunday, conducted by Barry Wordsworth, and what a tremendous performance!
5 stars from The Argus – the first review of Sunday's concert to appear was by Louise Schweitzer (who also had the pleasure of interviewing Alexandra immediately before the concert). Read her review here: http://www.theargus.co.uk/leisure/critic/15584152.Review__Brighton_Philharmonic_Orchestra__Brighton_Dome__October_8________________/
More praise followed for the Brighton Phil, Barry Wordsworth and Alexandra from Susan Elkin who reviewed Sunday's concert for Lark Reviews – read it here: http://www.larkreviews.co.uk/?cat=3
And for The Latest Belinda Greenhalgh wrote the following glowing review: https://thelatest.co.uk/brighton/2017/10/11/brighton-philharmonic-orchestra-alexandra-dariescu-piano-barry-wordsworth-conductor/
Phil Dennett's review for The District Post is entitled "Dazzling Alexandra gives season great start" and can be viewed on page 17 of this link: https://issuu.com/thedistrictpost/docs/20171013
Our final review will be published in the Mid Sussex Times next week, and is by Chris Francis who writes:
"The only disappointment about Sunday's stunning opening concert in the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra's 93rd season was that there were such a surprising number of empty seats at the Dome.
Those who could have filled those seats certainly missed out on a real treat served up by conductor laureate Barry Wordsworth and his wonderful orchestra, who on this occasion were supplemented magnificently by the prodigious piano talent of Alexandra Dariescu.
The young Romanian was one of the top 30 under 30s world-wide to be tipped for a spectacular career by International Piano Magazine and is rapidly justifying that lofty tag. And her talents are not limited solely to the keyboard as she is also responsible for her own production of The Nutcracker and I, a ground-breaking multimedia performance created for piano solo with dance and digital animation.
Her relaxed and uninhibited performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 should have come as no surprise from one who last year recorded the same piece and it contributed hugely to a truly memorable start to the BPO season.
The choice of programme is largely the tried and tested big works but there has been an attempt to intersperse that with a little of the less widely known and on this occasion that was provided by Schumann's overture to his only opera Genoveva. Wordsworth suggested this was the first time some -if not all – the orchestra had ever played the piece.
It provided a tasty hors d'oeuvre to the more substantial Tchaikovsky before the second half was devoted to another mighty work in Brahms' Symphony No 3.
If that was not enough to boost ticket sales, then perhaps the second concert on Sunday November 12 (Remembrance Sunday) may have greater appeal with its emphasis on the quintessentially English. Bach's Tocatta and Fugue (arranged by Stokowski) bucks the trend before Britten's Violin Concerto, Butterworth's A Shropshire Lad and Vaughan Williams' Symphony No 4."
The appreciative audience relished the opportunity to meet Alexandra during the interval and thanks to Brighton Phil volunteers Penny & Malcolm Crawley for helping her with her CD signing.
After the concert Friends of the Phil wrote to us saying:
"I just wanted to thank you for a stunning concert yesterday, the lovely Alexandra D in the Tchaikovsky 1 was fab. But the performing of the Brahms 3rd was exceptional, a favourite of mine for more than 50 years I have never heard a better performance. Very many thanks." Richard Cooper
"Fabulous Tchaikovsky Sunday, thanks. One of my favourite pieces and played at the first concert I attended as a teenager in London." Sarah Tobias
David Gerrard, the BPO's photographer, said: "Loved the concert. Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 is one of my favourites and was the first classical music record I ever bought. Some people (including my old music teacher) are a bit snobby about Tchaikovsky but I love his music. Wonderful performance – it gave me goose bumps!"
Whilst BHPS Chairman Nicolas Chisholm said: "The concert was a magnificent start to the season and it was a treat to hear the Tchaikovsky which I haven't heard live for many years. Congratulations all on a wonderful concert."
Other comments about our guest soloist on our Facebook page included:
"Sensational! Played with consummate ease and full of joy." John Bruzon
"Agree John, in four decades or so of attending concerts I cannot remember an artist play so passionately, with such humanity, and look like she was enjoying herself so much. Pity there is no DVD. I doubt anyone will see a better performance of this piece at the Dome." Phil Dennett
"The soloist, Alexandra Dariescu was truly fabulous." John Trussler

Essays- The Function of an articleWritten by PremiumWritingService.com
- font size decrease font size increase font size
One needs to understand what an article is if they have dreams to write an essay on the Functions of an article. An article is a word combining with a noun to indicate the sort of reference the noun makes. Articles aim at specifying the grammatical preciseness of the noun in question. The English Language uses three types of articles;
The English language uses the three article words differently, "The" is used for more define nouns. "an" is used for indefinite and singular nouns which start with a vowel sound. "a" is used for and singular nouns which start with a consonant sound. For students using English as a second language, it can be frustrating to master the functions of articles but it is important to understand that articles fall under some several basic rules;
The: Known things
The function of article " the" is when one speaks about a definite thing which the listener already knows about. This is the most common function of this article. For instance, I fell on the floor. " The" has been used to identify a floor which the audience already knows about, not just any other floor.
The: Things already mentioned
Another function of article " the" is to make reference to something already mentioned. For example, I ate two burgers in the morning. The burgers have one mention already, so when referring to them later, you could say I had bought the burgers yesterday.
The: Reference to a unique the.
Referring to unique things can be another function of article " the". For instance, I have talked to the president of the United States. This shows that there is only one president of the United States. Using another article, for instance "a" in a sentence like I saw a president of the United States of America, shows that there are several American presidents.
The: Superlatives
Article "the" can be used with superlatives. A superlative is a word which expresses quality or degree. For example, most expensive, highest, biggest, smartest etc. "The" can be used with superlatives in sentences like; Asia is the largest continent in the world. This is the fastest car I have ever bought. It is also important to know that the function of article " the" with superlatives is applicable when talking about a single, specific and unique thing.
A/An: Substitute for any/one.
Substituting one or any is the common function of indefinite articles. Any writer should use the articles "a" or "an" before any singular and countable noun, and it must be indefinite. Example , Today, I saw a train. Article "a" has been used because the train is not mine nor the only train.
A/An: To show frequency or allotment.
Another function of articles " a" and "an" would be to show allotment or frequency. Allotment comes when talking about specific things for instance, buying of tickets or certain goods eg. The novel costs $30 a copy. Frequency is demonstrated by the number of times one does a particular thing eg, I walk to school once a week.
A/An: To show not a single thing .
This form of article use is not common but nevertheless, it is a function of articles a/an. These articles are mainly used in negative sentences to show a single thing for instance, There was not a car in sight, There was not a drop of water in the gallon etc.
