The following information will help you to prepare for your stay in Germany.
General information about Germany:
Visit the page of the Federal Foreign Office
All foreigners require visas for stays of more than three months or stays leading to gainful employment.
Exemptions apply to EU and EEA (European Economic Area) citizens and Switzerland. Citizens of Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea and the United States of America may obtain any residence permit that may be required after entering Germany.
Citizens from all other countries must obtain a visa to enter and stay in Germany.
After you have received a letter of invitation or a written confirmation from the Institute stating that you will be working in Germany, please contact your local German embassy or consulate-general as early as possible to apply for a type D entry-visa.
This visa will allow you to enter and stay in Germany for the duration of its validity (usually up to 90 days). If you wish to stay longer, the visa can be extended or changed to a longer-term residence title (e.g. residence permit).
Do not apply for a tourist visa. This visa would not allow you to work in Germany and would require you to return to your country of origin after 3 months.
The approval procedure may take between 3 weeks and 3 months to complete.
Please note that the visa will not allow you to travel to other European countries. Once you obtain a residence permit (Aufenthaltsgenehmigung) from the local Foreigners' Registration Office (Ausländerbehörde), you will be free to travel to other European countries in the European Economic Community.
If you will be accompanied by your spouse and/or children, they must obtain visas as well.
For more information about visa regulations, please visit the website of the Federal Foreign Office

Links to search for rooms in shared apartments (Wohngemeinschaft)
For a listing of apartments and shared apartments, you might also try
Renting an apartment
Special terms and abbreviations are common in German housing advertisements.
An ad will indicate the total number of rooms in an apartment, including a living- or dining-room. If, for example you wish to rent an apartment with a bedroom and a living-room, you must look for a 2-room apartment. A bathroom, kitchen or hall would not be included in the number of rooms listed.
The size of the apartment is indicated in square meters (qm²) and describes the size of the entire apartment.
Apartments are usually completely unfurnished, i.e. without lamps, curtains or carpets. The kitchen often is equipped with an electric cooker and a sink. Second-hand furniture can be bought easily. For example at Ebay or Zweite Hand
The rent is paid monthly, and usually consists of two parts: the basic rent and operating costs (Betriebskosten), which include running costs such as water, waste collection, street cleaning, staircase cleaning etc.
You generally pay separately for heating, electricity and/or gas and must therefore register with an energy and/or gas supplier. The charges differ considerably.
To compare energy costs, visit: verivox.de (in German only).
The landlord will typically ask for a deposit, which can amount up to three months' basic rent and is provided to cover any damage the tenant may cause to the property. The sum will be refunded to you – including interest – when you move out, provided the apartment is in good order. Simple measures to restore the apartment to its original condition (painting, filling holes, cleaning etc.) will typically be required of the landlord before you move out.
All details of the agreement are stated in the written lease. It covers, among other things, the amount of rent and operating costs, period in which you may give notice that you intend to terminate the lease, lease-period, terms for an increase in rent and additional agreements like parking the car or what and how many animals you are allowed to hold as pets etc.
As your signature binds you to the terms of lease, please read the lease carefully before signing it

For using radio and/or television and/or computers through which internet can be accessed you have to pay a users' fee (Rundfunkbeitrag). Currently the fee is €17,50/month, payable in quarterly rates (€ 52,50 for 3 months). It is payable once per flat and is valid for everyone who lives there regardsless of how many people live in the flat or how many broadcasting devices they have. It also covers car radios.
You are required to to register with the "Beitragsservice" which compiles data for the public broadcasters.
There are severe penalties for not paying the users' fee.
Here you find all registration forms
For more information see here (in German only)
Cable subscriptions have to be paid additionally and run about €20 to €30 a month. They are sometimes included in the operating costs for your apartment.
Two types of telephone services are available in Germany: analogue and ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network).
An analogue connection is easier to use; you will be provided with a regular telephone line with a single number. Access to the internet from this line is possible from a standard 56K modem via dial-up. One disadvantage of the dial-up modem is that it occupies the phone line when in use and prevents incoming and outgoing phone calls from going through.
ISDN utilizes digital network technology and offers two digital phone lines and three different telephone numbers along with additional special services.
Before deciding between these two services, please check with your landlord to verify that your house and apartment is wired for these connections. Changes may have to be made to the lines in your house. A DSL connection is possible with either an analogue or ISDN line.
Most apartments already have a telephone line installed. When registering for your telephone service, make sure to provide the complete address, including the postage-code and which part of the house your apartment is situated in. Knowing name and telephone number of the previous tenant may also simplify the registration process.
The easiest and most direct path to activating phone and internet in your apartment is through the Deutsche Telekom. Telekom shops (T-Punkt) can be found in all cities.
Other providers do exist, however. Competition between providers is high, which has driven down prices on services including long-distance calling. A comparison of providers is therefore strongly recommended.
You may have to wait between 3 and 14 days from the time that you apply until the services are activated . You will receive written confirmation with your new telephone number and the activation date. A Deutsche Telekom technician may have to come to your apartment to activate a line or to switch your line over from an analogue to ISDN connection. Additional charges will apply in those cases.
Itemized Phone bills are sent on a monthly basis. You must pay your bill on time, either as cash payment at any German post office or via bank-transfer. The preferred payment method is to set up a monthly transfer from your bank account to the provider.
Your provider will send you notice and possibly fine you if payment arrives late. Please be advised that Deutsche Telekom tends to shut off service soon after such a notice is sent out. Reconnection will likely be slow and costly.
Many telephone plans are only available with a 1- or 2-year contract and must be cancelled months in advance to avoid an automatic extension.
Please keep in mind that your bills, correspondences, customer care and service agreements will often be in German only. We therefore suggest that you sign up with a provider that offers contracts and customer support in English.
TKS, for example, offers English step-by-step set-up guides and manuals, and an English call-in technical support center.
Another telephone and internet service offering English customer care is extelsol.

There are many Internet Service Providers in Germany. Internet access is possible through dial-up, ISDN and DSL services.
Dial-up service
For analogue and the somewhat faster ISDN dial-up access you need not sign a contract with a provider. You will need an active telephone line and a modem, however.
The cheapest solution for people who rarely use the internet is an Internet by Call service. The providers offer a pay-as-you-go service, which is billed on a time unit basis. Flat rates are not available with this service.
Contracts in which a monthly fee is paid for a defined amount of time of internet access may be available from some providers as well.
Access rates differ considerably, so be sure to compare the services and fees offered by different providers. Detailed information and a comparison of internet plans and rates can be found at:
www.billiger-surfen.de (in German only)
High speed DSL service
High-speed DSL connections with download speeds up to 50 000kbps are available. A DSL 6000kbps connection is most commonly available in Germany.
A DSL connection will upgrade your phone line and usually requires no changes to the cables in your home. An "Annex B" DSL modem will, however be required.
Package deals offering hardware and activation discounts normally require a 1 or 2 year contract. If you cancel earlier, fees will apply so be sure to select your plan accordingly. Please be sure to note cancellation periods and the time period in which you must give cancellation notice!
Note: There are many ads offering seemingly good bargains. Please read the small print carefully as some may have major drawbacks.
Please keep in mind that your bills, correspondences, customer care and service agreements will often be in German only. We therefore suggest that you sign up with a provider that offers contracts and customer support in English.
TKS, for example, offers English step-by-step set-up guides and manuals, and an English call-in technical support center.

As mobile-phones differ considerably in their capabilities, and international calls can be extraordinarily expensive, it would be advisable to get a German mobile-phone or at least a German SIM-card.
There are many service-providers which offer a wide range of products.
You have the choice between prepaid phones and signing a contract.
With prepaid phones, you just pay as you go using a rechargeable card (Wiederaufladekarte) which can be purchased at provider-stores, kiosks or bookstalls.
The advantage of a contract is that you pay lower calling rates and get new phones at a lower price. Please keep in mind, however that you have to pay monthly fees (Grundgebühr), connection fees (Verbindungskosten) and that often a minimum monthly usage (Minimalumsatz) is required. The duration of a standard contract is 2 years. If you cancel before the contract expires, you may have to pay the sum of the remaining monthly fees in the contract-period. Meanwhile some providers offer contracts with a month's notice.
A pre-paid plan might therefore be the better option if you are unsure as to how long you will be staying in Germany.
To compare offers and tariffs, visit (all available in German only):
International prepaid calling-cards, which can typically be used from every phone (home, mobile or public) often represent the most inexpensive way to make phone-calls abroad.
English language service offers http://www.cellularabroad.com/
Note: In Germany it is forbidden to use a mobile phone while driving, be sure to use some sort of hands-free kit.
In Germany, driving without a valid driving license is illegal.
Foreign driving licenses or international driving licenses are usually valid for six months from the date of entry into Germany. "Learners' permits" or "provisional licenses" are not accepted.
After six months, you must be in possession of a German driving license (Führerschein) to drive a car. A license issued by an EU country can be used as long as it is valid.
Getting a new license can take up to three months, so applying for a German license as soon as possible is advisable.
For citizens from some countries, a German license can be issued without a theoretical and/or practical driving test; in these cases, a valid license can be exchanged for a German license (fee: €35,00/45,00).
Nationals from other countries must take the entire test (theoretical and practical).
Information can be obtained from driving schools (Fahrschule).
Detailed information at the website of Landesamt für Bürger- und Ordnungsangelegenheiten (German only) or How to Germany
Third-party Private Liability Insurance (Haftpflichtversicherung)
In Germany, there one is generally liable for damages caused to a third party. This includes, for example: damaging someone else's property, causing an accident as a pedestrian or cyclist, or while playing sports. Parents are liable for their children.
It is therefore strongly recommended that you take out a Third-party Private Liability Insurance (Haftpflichtversicherung).
A policy will provide financial coverage for claims compensating a third party resulting from accidental damage.
Further insurance options include:
For more information, visit the webpage on insurances at How to Germany
The terms and conditions of insurance policies differ considerably, so please read carefully before signing a contract.
In Berlin, every child from 1 year on until he or she starts school, is entitled to up to 7 hours care in a daycare center (Kindertagesstätte, "Kita" for short) or family daycare.
Daycare hours depend on the needs of the parents and on the facilities' concepts. These can range from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 or 6:00 p.m.
Some parents prefer to have their children looked after in family day-care or by a day-nanny (Tagesmutter). Tagesmütter normally care for younger children (up to 3 years) and are more flexible with their hours of availability. They offer part-time or full-day-care as well.
The fees depend on the parents' income and the length of time your child will spend in the daycare center. In Berlin, the last 3 years of Kindergarten before the child goes on to attend school, are free of charge except for a contribution of € 23,00 per month to cover boarding costs.
Before you can enroll your child in a Kindergarten, you must apply for a place at the Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt) in your local residents' registration office (Bürgeramt).
The application form (in German only) can be downloaded here
Additional application forms (in German only) can be found here
You will get a coupon for care coverage (Betreuungsgutschein). The coupon must be handed over to the Kindergarden you choose. Most day-care centers in Berlin take part in the coupon system.
Very few are privately operated; these have their own cost-sharing systems.
A contract is made with the daycare center or day-nanny you have chosen. Your contribution is paid directly to the facility.
A list of daycare centers can be found here here (in German only). There are a number of international or bilingual daycare centers as well. To find them search for bilingual
Addresses of day-nannies can be found through local newspaper ads or your local Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt).
Germany has an excellent public transport system. You can easily reach almost every destination by train, bus, tram or the underground.
Deutsche Bahn
Trains operated by the state-run Deutsche Bahn DB (German Rail), connect all of the larger and many of the smaller towns.
You can purchase tickets online, at ticket machines on railway platforms, at ticket counters at train stations or at travel agencies. Tickets should be bought before boarding.
There are many ways to obtain discounts and inexpensive tickets.
More Information on German Rail can be found at their English website.
Long distance coach
Traveling by long distance coach becomes more and more popular and comfortable. It is remarkable cheaper than traveling by train.
Long distance coach agency is
Tickets can be purchased online. Many agencies offer discounts.
An overview of traveling by long distance coach in Germany you can find here.
Ridesharing agencies and carpools (Mitfahrzentralen)
Ridesharing agencies (Mitfahrzentralen, agencies that coordinate shared-rides) are platforms that list carpools and ride-shares in Germany or other European countries.
The details of the arrangement, like point of departure and arrival, departure time and price are arranged between driver and car passenger via email, telephone etc.
Such listings include:
Public transport in Berlin
Berlin has an excellent public transport system. It even runs all night on every day of the week.
It offers transportation with S-Bahn, U-Bahn, buses, trams and ferries.
The S-Bahn (suburban train) is a mainly above-ground network of local trains and is operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB). The lines connect the suburbs with the city-center.
U-Bahn (subway, metro), bus, tram and ferry-networks are run by Berlin's transport company: the BVG.
Berlin is divided into three ticket-zones: Zone A represents the city-center within and including the S-Bahn ring-line, Zone B includes the rest of Berlin up to the city limits, Zone C is the surrounding area of Berlin, including Potsdam.
Tickets are valid for two or three zones: AB, BC or ABC. They can be used for all forms of transportation.
Tickets can be bought at ticket machines on station platforms, at ticket offices, at tourist information offices or some newspaper stands. If you use a bus, you can get a ticket from the bus driver.
A basic ticket (for 1 journey = Einzelfahrschein) must be stamped at the red or yellow ticket validator on the platform (Entwerter).
Please be sure to stamp your ticket. If you are caught without a valid ticket by a ticket-inspector, you will be subject to a 60€ fine.
If you make more than 2 journeys a day, a day-ticket would be the best choice.
If you make more than 2 journeys every day, a 7-day-ticket or monthly ticket would be a cheaper choice.
There are also special offers for visitors:
If you only want to use public transport and are not interested in the discounts for attractions, a normal day-ticket would be the cheapest choice.
For prices and more information about Berlin public transport, visit www.bvg.de
Taxis in Germany are relatively expensive but are useful under special circumstances like getting to the airport or train station when carrying luggage, or for getting home late at night.
The fares are regulated.

The map is generated through the NBN Gateway using their Interactive Mapping Tool.
This attractive foliose lichen is noted for its brown, round, broad lobes (distinctly more so than in P. intricata or P. lacerata) with the upper surface showing a partially ridged network surrounded by a flourish of beautiful lilac-mauve soralia occurring either as spots or growing along the developing creases. Chemically it has a distinctive C+ red medulla. In Ireland, the species is local in Counties Kerry and Donegal. In the nineteenth century the species was known to be more widespread and today should be searched for in Counties Cork, Galway, Carlow and Antrim. It is an oceanic species of mossy rocks and trees in damp woodland, particularly favouring hazel and willow.

The amount of Netflow data crossing enterprise networks is significant. Its purpose is to provide network visibility in areas of interest. Netflow is generally free and available in some form on most network equipment, and therein lies the temptation. While it can provide some high level usage stats on links and ports, it falls short in providing the visibility that network managers need today. There are many commercial and open source tools that ingest Netflow to help you visualise the results.
If you're ever considering netflow for visibility, here are 8 things you should keep in mind:
- 3rd Party servers & software: To collect all the raw Netflow stats from network equipment you will need software that collects, analyses, stores & presents the stats. Tools like PRTG, ManageEngine, Solarwinds etc will need to be installed on servers and network equipment will need to be configured to generate and send Netflow to these servers. More software, more servers and more router/switch configs to maintain.
- Time granularity: Netflow typically has 5 minute granularity. This means you have to wait 5 minutes before you can see what traffic was on the network. By that time, the problem has disappeared and the next one is in play. Some equipment can be configured to produce Netflow every 1 minute but you're still too far behind.
- Application granularity: Most Netflow sources are port based. So apps like instagram or Facebook will be reported as port 80/HTTP and apps like bittorrent and Skype will be reported as random port numbers. Cisco equipment has NBAR and NBAR2 that help with classification but provide a fairly basic application library. Other attributes like URLs, application subtypes like Facebook chat, BYOD types etc. are not available from Netflow.
- Pervasiveness: Running a network with distributed applications and offices and private/public cloud infrastructure, means that to know what's going on you need to be able to see across the whole environment - physical, virtual, cloud, SDN. While Netflow may be available in some equipment, it's not as pervasive across the cloud.
- Inconsistent data sources: Not all Netflow sources are the same. Old routers have different formats and granularity to new ones. This inconsistency in versions, granularity and depth make network wide visibility clunky and complex.
- Load on network & equipment: No point trying to see what's going on when you're flooding the WAN with visibility stats. This is very common with Netflow. The more traffic the more the load on the network. There are servers and software that attempt to reduce this load by processing and compressing locally which adds another whole layer of complexity to network visibility. Netflow can be sampled to reduce some load but you give up depth and granularity of reporting. Routers
- Scale: Netflow may be OK for monitoring a particular router to solve a specific issue but it becomes incredibly complex to deploy, maintain and most importantly provide a clear view of what's on the network. The effort and complexity involved in Netflow based solutions far outweigh the visibility benefits it can provide.
- Speed: The granularity of Netflow is already a big obstacle when it comes to troubleshooting speed. The network manager needs to know what's going on now, not a minute later. Historical queries in Netflow collector solutions are so slow and cumbersome that over time users drop using them.
- Time & Cost: Time to deploy, resources to manage and cost associated with missing vital bits of data due to lack of depth, breadth and scale are important considerations.
While its good practice to use existing infrastructure to get better visibility and solve problems, a Netflow solution introduces a new layer of complexity which increases TCO and ultimately doesn't provide the agile and deep and network wide visibility the business needs. Network managers end up spending resources on getting visibility to work as opposed to running a great network. Solving application performance issues on large or small networks is becoming increasingly difficult and Netflow is struggling to keep up in this challenge.

Question about Visioneer OneTouch 8100 Flatbed Scanner
I worked with the scanner 8100 Visioner One Touch using Windows XP. When I bought a new computer with Windows Vista I couldn't install this scanner. What is your advice?
Posted by vladgrizzly on
I have the exact same problem.
Link to the download does not work..........where else can it be found.
The links on the Visioneer official page don't work. I have the same problem. My Visioneer One Touch 8100 Scanner does not work on Windows Vista 32-bit and I want to upgrade the drivers to Visioneer OneTouch 9420, but it seems that nobody has working links for this driver download. HELP!
Verified to work with Vista Home Premium x64 (should work for x32 as well):
1. Make sure your 8100 is unplugged.
2. Go to Visioneer's website and download drivers for the OneTouch 9420 scanner:
3. Install the drivers. Nothing will work... yet, don't worry.
4. Now plug in your 8100. You'll get a message saying that Vista wants to find drivers. Select "Ask Me Later" or just cancel.
5. Next, open up Control Panel and then Device Manager. Find your 8100 in there (probably listed as "Unknown Device") and then right click on it and say "Update Driver Software". Now click "Browse My Computer For Driver Software" then "Let Me Pick From A List Of Device Drivers On My Computer".
6. Scroll down to "IMAGING DEVICES" then find Visioneer, then you should see the "Visioneer 9420" driver. Select it. You'll get a warning from Vista, but continue anyways. That's it... everything should work.
Posted on Mar 05, 2008
I just wanted to add that I've been trying to get my Visioneer 8100 One-Touch scanner (that I purchased well over 12yrs back) to work with new OS of Win10 64-bit. The above instructions for installing the 9420 driver worked for me. This was the 6th or 7th thing I'd tried and was gonna be the last. I was so frustrated after doing every poss thing in my power- to no avail. I tried this as a last resort and to my surprize- it worked. Thank u VERY, VERY kindly.
Posted on Jul 28, 2016
The same solution of using the visioneer 9420 one touch scanner works with a 32 bit processor. Visioneer has both the 32 and 64 bit downloads on its web site.
Posted on Nov 07, 2008
Install PaperPort as usual.
Open the Vista Program Compatability Wizard. Install the 8100 driver using the Wizard. I chose the XP Service Pack 2 emulation. Works just fine.

LATEYSHA Grace has given Kim Kardashian a run for her money by showing off her giant bum on the beach — following her fourth bum lift op.
The former star of The Valleys, who found fame when her dress split on TV while she was twerking, put her plumped-up posterior proudly on display in an electric blue bikini while her pal took pictures.
Lateysha looked sensational as she posed seductively in the waves and soaked up the Ibiza sun, before showing off her "thighbrows" as she sat on the beach.
Her huge bottom looked noticeably larger than it did a few months ago, showing she is taking her "womanly" body image ideal very seriously.
Despite all the risks involved in plastic surgery, Lateysha's most recent trip to the surgeon's was not the first time she's had her rump pumped up.
The TV personality and former pole dancer previously had a bum op before going into Big Brother last year, which involved having her body fat transferred to her backside.
She then had another bum op after she came out of the house, and showed it off on Instagram while posing in fishnets.
Before that she'd had illegal bum surgery in Miami which left her unable to sit down due for weeks to "shooting pains".
Most Read in Tv and SHowbiz
This means the aspiring singer's most recent bum operation was her fourth, and she seems to be loving the results.
In April the 24-year-old also had liposuction and claimed it would be the last time she'd ever have plastic surgery.
An MTV film crew has followed Lateysha's latest body journey for her own new show which she landed after her dress split on Big Brother's Bit On The Side.
The tattooed mum-of-one, who was previously linked to Geordie Shore's Scotty T, has now also bagged a role in a sitcom with Love Island legend Paul Danan and ex EastEnders star Ricky Norwood.
If her comedy chops are anywhere near as notable as her hindquarters, the show ought to be a success.
Meanwhile Lateysha's latest Instagram snaps are going down an absolute storm, with one of her most recent pics gathering comments like "Damn she got hot out nowhere" and "Wow when can we do dinner".

Re: Operation Tiger D-Day rehearsal
In reply to:
Operation Tiger D-Day rehearsal
Bev Sanders 1/11/07
I think it is called "Slapton Sands". It's very well documented, but only in recent years. Because so many toops were killed there when German E-boats got in among the landing craft during an exercise the US goverment covered it up and made it an official secret for many decades.
Appeals like your don't usually work because there are so few WWII soldiers left. In the case of Slapton Sands chances would be even slimmer. The death toll there was enormous. Thousands drowned because they were weighted down with invasion equipment. Then the survivors were sent to France where they faced death again.
Your best chance is to see if there is/was an association of survivors.

2Of disease: that assails or surrounds.
Late Middle English; earliest use found in John Lydgate (c1370–c1449), poet and prior of Hatfield Regis. From classical Latin obsidiōnālis of or relating to a siege (1st cent. a.d.) from obsidiōn-, obsidiō + -ālis.

The Why.
Feb 19, 2017 by Karen Lindauer
On August 11th, 2016 I walked into a Patient First and 24 hours later learned I had cancer. I will never forget the panic I felt when the doctor told me I had a mass in my chest that shouldn't be there. My mind immediately jumped to thoughts of lung cancer and I just knew I was going to die. I was 36 years old, a wife, mother, daughter, sister, employee, friend, athlete, and good citizen, but none of those titles excused me from having cancer. While I laid in my hospital bed waiting for a biopsy to be done and choking back a panic attack, an Oncologist walked into my room. He said "Without even looking at the biopsy results, I can already tell this is cancerous". He told me he thought it was either Lymphoma or something worse. Then he looked me straight in the eyes and said "We are dealing with a type of cancer that is curable". It took six days to get those biopsy results back. Six days where my mind went to some of the darkest places it's ever visited. When that phone call came and I heard the reassuring voice of my Oncologist, Dr. Lee, tell me that I had a type of Lymphoma that has a high success rate due to a chemotherapy regimen that had recently been developed, I could finally breathe again. If this doctor was telling me I was going to be ok, then I believed him.
That final clear PET scan did not come without a price though. What I had to endure to get rid of that cancer in my body was brutal. It was an experience that I can only describe as traumatic. I'm going to be spending years in therapy to work out that one. Cancer leaves you scarred, not just physically but mentally and emotionally. Find someone who tells you they are the same person they were before they had cancer and I'll buy you a unicorn.
As happy as I am to be able to tell people I am done with treatments and the final PET scan was good, there is still a tornado of emotions going on inside me. I am equal parts angry, scared, and relieved.
I am relieved that there was a cure for my cancer. I am relieved that there are smart people in this world that figured it out, and that there was money for them to do the research and clinical trials necessary. I am relieved that I was in good, capable hands with Dr. Lee and his team. When Dr. Lee gave me that fatherly side-hug after my good results came in and told me how proud he was of me, it felt pretty darn amazing.
I am scared because I can no longer go through life feeling immune to bad things happening. I can't take anything for granted any more. I don't even like saying that I'm done with treatments because I'm scared if I say it too loud, someone might hear me and make the cancer come back. I try to be strong and brave, but I am also human. I know what lurks on the other side of that door and it's a monster.
Then I am angry. I am angry this happened to me. I am angry that it happens to other people. Cancer is such a horrible, horrible thing and no one should feel it's wrath. It's this anger that makes me want to stand up and do something. I'm not smart enough to find a cure but how I wish I was. I'm not strong enough to be a person of support to a community of cancer patients. I am ,however, motivated enough to run a marathon and raise money to help fund research and grants, as well as help other patients afford the medical care they need. This anger inside me that says "ENOUGH!". Running a marathon is my way of saying "You can't take the best parts of me".
I can not do this alone. My team can not do this alone. We need your help. Please consider donating, you never know how much it can make a difference. It is because of donations made to help fund research, that Oncologists are able to look patients in the eyes and use the word "curable".
We're up and running (figuratively and literally!)

Thanks for clicking on our Team in Training's (TNT) fundraising page for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Separately, we are Karen L., Kristy, Steve, and Karen P. but together we make up Team "Cancer Better Run". We are a bunch of happy-go-lucky folks who share the love of a good run, laugh, and beverage (sometimes all at the same time). Each of us has been touched by cancer in some way whether it be the loss of a close friend or family member, knowing someone who has/had cancer, or even being a cancer survivor themselves. As our friend Carla always says, "Turn your scars into stars" so we are trying to do just that. We want to work towards finding a cure for the horrible beast that is cancer. Since none of us are smart enough to come up with this cure ourselves, we've decided we can at least help fund research done by the smart people.
The idea to fundraise for the LLS came to Karen L. during one of her many loooong chemotherapy treatments this past fall to treat her diagnosis of Mediastinal Large B Cell Lymphoma. As she sat there sipping her Coca-Cola and coloring her 100th picture, she thought "I want to do something to help others in my shoes". And so she thought and she thought, until a brilliant idea popped into her head. "Running! I love to run. What if I used running as a way to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society?" Karen didn't want to run just any old race though. She wanted to run one of the biggest marathons in the country and wanted her favorite running buddies to do it with her. It didn't take much convincing to talk Kristy and Steve into joining her. Within seconds both had responded with an enthusiastic "YES!!!" to her question: "Want to run the NY marathon with me as part of TNT?". Karen P. joined in when she caught wind of our plan because she also wants to help give ol' cancer the boot.
We greatly appreciate any donation you would like to offer whether it be $5, $50, or $5000 (ha, just kidding! But seriously, we would skywrite you a "Thank you" if you did.). LLS was able to invest $67.2 million in research in fiscal year 2015 to advance life-saving research because of people's generous donations. In case you are wondering "Does my donation really go to helping research and patient care?", here is your answer. This is what donations made possible in 2015:
· invested $49.3 million in research
· supported 268 research projects (and 22 Therapy Acceleration Program partnerships) in the United States, Canada and 7 other countries
· provided co-pay assistance to patients
· sponsored scientific conferences around the country
· produced educational materials and videos
· ran dozens of Family Support Groupsnationwide
Cancer sucks no matter which way you slice it. No one knows that better than our teammate Karen. Thanks to generous donations given to the LLS, it help fund the research conducted by the National Institute of Health to develop the treatment plan that saved Karen's life. We hope that by raising these funds to benefit the LLS, it will provide some assistance to the many others who will have to walk in her footsteps. Please help us make that happen.
With love,
Karen L, Kristy, Steve, and Karen P.

On Trails - An Exploration by Robert Moor Hot
After hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in five months, Robert Moor, an environmental journalist, began to study trails: how and why they were formed and altered, and what makes us follow them or veer off on our own. He focused on fossil trails and the travels of ants, explored hiking treks that spanned continents, and pondered highways from the interstate to the internet. He talked to trail-builders and thru-hikers and thinkers and nomads. What he discovered about trails sheds light on how our species evolved, and how, like physical paths, abstract paths shape our lives. "To deftly navigate this world, we will need to understand how we make trails, and how trails make us," he says in this book, which is a mix of wilderness adventure, science, philosophy, history, and nature writing. On Trails is a fascinating look at where we wander, and how that wandering forms who we are. Hikers, nature-lovers, science sleuths and philosophers will enjoy Moor's lively exploration through time, wilderness, and civilization.

Robert Moor has written for Harper's, n+1, New York, and GQ, among other publications. A recipient of the Middlebury Fellowship in Environmental Journalism, he has won multiple awards for his nonfiction writing. He lives in Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia. On Trails is his first book.

It's hard to describe how challenging the last week was for me—mostly because I can't talk. I mean this quite literally.
A week ago I was rolled into the operating room for some long overdue orthognathic surgery, otherwise known as corrective jaw surgery, or slicing and dicing up the bottom half of my head.
"It's just carpentry."
My surgeon
While this procedure was necessary for me, and I'll be reaping the benefits for years to come, recovery ain't a walk in the park. The first week involved me eating food through a syringe, poppin' plenty of pain meds, communicating via whiteboard, and wearing a jaw bra (ja, brah).
Although I'm sure the worst is behind me, I'm not out of the woods yet. All told, it'll be 8-ish weeks until I'm back to my old talkative, steak chomping, gotta-be-active self. That's a pretty scary length of time for me, and the thought of adjusting my lifestyle for that long is a seriously daunting thought.
During some of my toughest moments last week, I reminded myself of a man who's been through challenges I can't even begin to imagine:
"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms – to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
All right, cool, I thought. Just stay positive and push through this thing. It's just 2 months.
That's great, but something dawned on me today: I missed a huge part of the message. Leave it to my boy Ryan Holiday to post an article just when I needed it most:
"We are always so busy thinking about the future, we don't take enough time to focus on the opportunities right in front of us. Especially when those things look like burdens and not like opportunities. We think the future is something that happens, rather than something we make.
We think, This is just a job, this is just a crappy couple of [months, minutes, weeks] it doesn't matter.
Like Robert [Greene] says, if you're going to think like that, you might as well be dead. Your mind apparently is." Ryan Holiday
He's absolutely right. Sure, I could just write off Fall 2014 as a crappy page in the book of Lloyd Alexander (as I honestly had prior to surgery) or I can do some really cool stuff despite my limitations.
Reading. Writing (check!). Cooking (soupmaster extraordinaire). Coding (HTML/CSS). These are things I wanted to do anyway.
I may have developed a pretty serious House of Cards (dat Kevin Spacey) addiction over the past week, but it's time to be productive again. It's time to get back on track.

Their self-luminous aiming systems empower you to execute any shot with complete confidence in bright light, low light or no light at all. The AccuPoint 1-4x24 Riflescope, with its dual-illuminated reticle and generous field-of-view, delivers rapid target acquisition and the ability to lock-on to your target quickly. This AccuPoint combines a robust 30mm main-tube with a low-profile 24mm objective. The reticle is illuminated via Trijicon's proprietary fiber optic/tritium technology - no matter what time of day it is, or what kind of day it is - the aiming point will seem vibrant and vivid. When the hunt gets up-close-and-personal - this scope can be dialed down to 1x for an extremely broad FOV that will significantly improve your ability to sight-in on skittish game - even in the dense forest. Should the quarry become uncooperative and begin to bound rapidly across vast rolling prairie hills - no problemo. Just dial up to 4x, employ the both-eyes-open Bindon Aiming Concept, and you'll be back on target in a flash. To use a riflescope with your firearm, you'll need a mounting base and mounting rings in addition to the scope itself. Bases attach to your firearm and rings attach to your scope. Proper spacing of the rings, as well as the ring height should be considered to ensure a proper line of sight can be established. This will maximize the value of your investment, and enhance your shooting experience. It should be noted that in many mounting applications, a professional gunsmith's skills will be needed for proper installation. 1 Inch Main-Tube 6061-T6 Aluminum main-tube is waterproof to 10' Mil-Spec Finish Type III hard anodized per MIL-A-8625 , Class 2 dull & non reflective Multi-Layer Coated Lenses Provide superior clarity, zero distortion, flare/glare reduction BAC - Bindon Aiming Concept The Bindon Aiming Concept was devised by Trijicon's founder, Glyn Bindon. The BAC method of aiming with both eyes open ensures a far superior sense of balance, and a wider field-of-view. Combining these benefits with a magnified Trijicon sight gives you a considerable advantage over your target. Fiber Optics and Tritium Illumination Proprietary battery-free technology provides a vivid aiming point without the need for failure-prone batteries Dual-Illuminated Red Triangle Reticle A brilliant Red triangle sits atop a single hollow post at the 6-o'clock position. The reticle is illuminated though the use of fiber optics and tritium, providing a vivid aiming point without the need for failure-prone batteries.

Twine is a patient application and coaching platform.
Both versions can be accessed by smartphone, tablet, or, by computer through an approved web browser. Even if your patient decides not to use technology, Twine maintains its abilities as a patient population management tool. This gives coaches visibility into all of their patients Health Action Plans (we recommend you download the article at the bottom of this page to learn more), progress toward goals, check ins, and conversation history
Twine aims to create patients as self-care experts over time.
When patients begin using Twine, you create a scaffold, or support system, to develop self-care expertise by programming a Health Action Plan. Interacting regularly through the patient messenger, coaches guide practice, feedback, and reflection just-in-time. Twine makes it easy to evolves Health Action Plans to reflect change as patients learn. For some, pairing episodic (face to face or over the phone) interactions with the Twine coaching workflow is a new experience. Both formats are powerful in different ways. As you decide how to pair the two coaching formats together in your practice, here are some points to consider so that you can make the most of both coaching formats
- The Proximity (and Influence) of Coaching on Target Behavior
- Episodic Coaching: This form of coaching helps patients reflect on behaviors out of context in the coach's office or by phone in a location (by space or time) far away from where target behaviors occur. Since patients are often relying on their memory, this method is less reliable for behavioral assessment. However, the open space that these types of visits create can work to uncover general thoughts, feelings, and attitudes about change. This is called reflection-on-action. Face-to-Face or telephonic visits may be preferred when for working through "fuzzy" problems or ones that don't have clear solutions in the patients mind.
- Coaching with Twine: This form of coaching helps patients reflect on behaviors in context very soon after or while they occur by logging health actions and using the messenger. This more reliably documents actual behavior and often produces change in an ongoing iterative process as coaches deliver feedback just-in-time. This is called reflection-in-action. Use coaching with Twine as your default interaction, and allow episodic coaching to review progress, problem solve, and identify new change areas.
- Episodic Coaching: makes learning transfer more difficult. Patient must recall, apply, and maintain what they learn in coaching sessions on their own. If they get lost or miss an opportunity to maximize their changes, they have to wait for an appointment to "reroute" and further develop their goals.
- Coaching with Twine: makes learning transfer easier. If patients have trouble recalling or applying lessons learned from coaching, they can reference the coach at any time through the messenger. Because patients are not experts when they first start making change, they often don't know when they are off course until its too late. Coaches have an additional opportunity to step in to offer support in this case early relapses in change are observed through the History tab visualizations.
- Episodic Coaching: Coaches may be able to more quickly identify and work through ambivalence using non-verbal cues such as facial expression, body language, tone of voice, and, cadence of speech.
- Coaching with Twine: Coaches must rely on interpretation of written words. Though, with tracking, discrepancies are easier to identify and discuss with real-time data. Losing non-verbal communication may sometimes pose a benefit: patients who are unwilling to say things in person may offer up information and insights more freely online. Additionally, you can begin to elicit and validate your patients' attitudes over time vs. generalizing them through one or two interactions.
Has this article got you thinking how you'll manage your face-to-face sessions in Twine?
