|Is 'query' broken in RC3?
|Tue, 02 May 2006 02:19:55 GMT
I've been trying really hard to figure out the right combination of flags to pass to query to get it to produce anything meaningful... with not much luck. I've got my broker listening for JMX on a different port, so I have to pass it --jmxurl service:<cut> (and not I did not actually pass it <cut>, but a valid string... just adding it here to show that I must always pass this in). Lets say I want to display all of the Queue's, this is what I am lead to believe by the docs is the right flags: ./query --jmxurl service:<cut> -QQueue=* This spits out: ACTIVEMQ_HOME: ... And then exists. Not very useful. If I run with no flags (other than the --jmxurl) I get a ton of stufff, one of them being: <snip> Type = Queue Destination = BUILD.TASKS QueueSize = 1022 DequeueCount = 8467 MemoryPercentageUsed = 0 ConsumerCount = 22 MemoryLimit = 9223372036854775807 EnqueueCount = 1475 BrokerName = localhost </snip> So, why doesn't this Queue show up when I say -QQueue=*? If I specify the full name it does not work either: ./query --jmxurl service:<cut> -QQueue=BUILD.TASKS I'm not sure that -xQ works either, since this: ./query --jmxurl service:<cut> -xQTopic=ActiveMQ.Advisory.* Spits out stuff that includes: <snip> Type = Topic Destination = ActiveMQ.Advisory.Producer.Topic.BUILD.PING QueueSize = 0 DequeueCount = 0 MemoryPercentageUsed = 0 ConsumerCount = 0 MemoryLimit = 9223372036854775807 EnqueueCount = 27 BrokerName = localhost </snip> Seems like the -xQ and -Q stuff just does not work. --objname seems to work better. For example, to list all Queue's: ./query --jmxurl service:<cut> --objname Type=Queue This actually does what I expect. So does: ./query --jmxurl service:<cut> --objname Type=Topic,Destination=BUILD.* Furthermore, query does not parse its command line options very well. It should allow long options with values to be defined as -- opt=value or --opt value, but it does not support the first, but it will recognice that you are trying to use the --opt flag. For example: ./query --jmxurl service:<cut> --objname Type=Topic -- xobjname=Destination=ActiveMQ.Advisory.* This will complain with: ERROR: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object name query not specified But this works... ./query --jmxurl service:<cut> --objname Type=Topic -- xobjname=Destination=ActiveMQ.Advisory.* Destination=ActiveMQ.Advisory.* And it does the right thing... which seems quite insane to me. I would also recommend that if an option parsing or handing error occurs to just exit... since chances are the output is not going to be what the user wanted. Currently, the above ERROR continued to spit out all Topics (including all ActiveMQ.Advisory.* stuff) which is not what I wanted. I highly recommending using Commons CLI http://jakarta.apache.org/ commons/cli (or something similar) to get consistent posix-style command line argument parsing. * * * Is anyone actively testing these admin features for the 4.0 release? So far I have not had much luck with any of them to get useful stuff that a sysadmin might want to see. I did play with `browse` a little, and noticed that it just caused a bunch of exceptions to be thrown on the server-side. :-( --jason This email and any attachment(s) thereto, are intended for the use of the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and or confidential information under applicable law.

By Uma Sivanathan
The subject of maintaining brain health is of personal interest to me because my husband and I are 66 years old and my father had Alzheimer's Disease. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, and it often shows up after age 65, but can begin as early as age 45. It is a progressive disease, due to the loss of neuron function in the brain.
What I learned, as I surfed the web for information, is that we need to care for our brain, no matter what age we are, but particularly as we enter our Golden Years. I also learned that Alzheimer and other dementias, for the most part, are preventable.
My first step on this investigative journey was to take a simple quiz that I found at: helpguide.org in their article, "Is It Memory Loss or Dementia?" I learned that Alzheimer's often begins with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Symptoms can include: forgetting faces, names, dates and appointments, trouble paying attention, leaving tasks unfinished, misplacing keys, glasses, cell phone, finding the right words to say in a conversation and trouble recalling recently read information.
I found out that the hippocampus part of the brain is the memory area and requires continual new cell growth. With Alzheimer's and other dementia, this part of the brain becomes damaged and gradually shrinks in size causing memory loss. As Alzheimer's progresses, tissues in other parts of the brain are damaged and the whole brain shrinks in size, compromising brain function.
I came upon a wealth of information from Dr. Russell Blaylok's website, w3.blaylockwellness.com. Dr. Blaylock was a neurosurgeon for 26 years and now dedicates his life to preventing chronic illnesses through education. I highly recommend that you check out his website.
After visiting many sites, this is the compiled advice I found on how to achieve optimal brain health:
1- Exercise: At least 30 minutes or more of daily exercise can reduce the risk of mental decline by up to 50 percent. It stimulates the brain's ability to maintain old connections and make new ones. Walking and swimming are good as well as those exercises that accelerate the heart beat rate. A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that middle-aged adults who are physically fit have better cognitive function at age 65.
2- Socialize with friends and family: Develop new friendships, take classes, volunteer.
3- Choose a brain-healthy diet: Drink plenty of water-the brain is 70 percent water (non-fluoridated filtered water is best); avoid inflammation causing foods, such as sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour and white rice; consume brain boosting omega-3 fats such as walnuts, eggs and flax seeds; use healthy oils, such as coconut oil and olive oil; eat lots of organically grown fruits and veggies, particularly those with protective antioxidants and vitamins are broccoli sprouts and all cruciferous veggies; berries, especially blueberries; green leafy veggies; red grapes; drink green tea, white tea and oolong tea to enhance memory and mental alertness. Avoid foods with MSG, hydrolyzed protein, fast foods, fried foods, processed foods, and hydrogenated oils; cook at home often.
4- Supplement with superstar brain nutrients: Number 1 is turmeric. It inhibits plaque build up and destabilizes plaques that have formed. It is thought to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer's damage; ashwagandha; DHEA; folic acid, vitamins B12, P (OPC), C and D; magnesium; ginkgo biloba; coenzyme Q10; grape seed extract, hyperzine A. Dr. Blaylock offers brain boosting supplements on his website. The Master Cell Protector can be purchased at holistichealthtools.com. Studies have found that a synergy of brain nutrients produce the most benefit.
5- Engage in challenging mental stimulation: Learn to play a musical instrument, learn a foreign language or find a new hobby. The greater the challenge, the greater the benefit. As the saying goes, "If you don't use it, you lose it." Memorize things to strengthen memory connections; play brain games such as scrabble, sudoku, crossword puzzles; change routine-take different routes, eat with the other hand, vary habits.
6- Get quality sleep-take naps if needed: Deep, restorative sleep is essential for memory formation and removal of toxins from the brain.
7- Stress management: Stress causes shrinkage of the brain in main memory areas and disrupts nerve cell growth. Do relaxation activities such as yoga, meditation and deep breathing exercises.
8- Other very important advice: have a positive mental attitude, maintain a healthy weight, don't smoke and minimize alcohol intake.
The next part of the journey was to find out what the causes are of mental decline. From numerous studies, evidence points to various factors. One is the build up of beta-amyloid plaque which causes cell death and tissue loss in the Alzheimer brain. Plaques are abnormal clusters of "sticky" fragments of protein. A study at the Stanford University School of Medicine showed that the damage from beta-amyloid begins by destroying synapses (connections between nerve cells-neurons). When it clumps into plaques, it causes healthy neurons to stop functioning. Then those neurons lose connection with other neurons and die. Many of the above listed brain nutrients protect our brain by preventing beta-amyloid plaque build-up.
It is believed that one of the root causes of mental decline is chronic inflammation of brain cells. Inflammation also worsens already existing conditions. Other researchers believe that oxidative stress by free radicals is a cause of dementias.
On the last leg of my research journey, I found out what oxidative stress is, what free radicals are and how anti-oxidants defend against them. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with odd numbers of electrons and can be formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. Once formed, they are highly reactive and can damage cell DNA and cell membranes. They can combine and react chemically with other molecules that they were not meant to combine with. This process is called oxidation.
Free radicals are produced when our bodies are over exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun; x-rays; gamma rays from radioactive material; cigarette smoke; car exhaust; industrial fumes; pesticides and herbicides, etc. It is estimated that our bodies can get thousands of free radical hits per day, depending on our lifestyle and the environment in which we live.
Anti-oxidants are molecules that safely interact with free radicals and stop their chain reaction, before damage is done. Our bodies have an anti-oxidant defense system, but we are exposed to so much that produces free radicals, it is recommended that we ramp up our system with a healthy diet, abundant in anti-oxidant rich foods and supplements with essential brain boosters.
Luckily, the evidence is in that we can grow new brain cells and continue to improve the structure and function of our brain, throughout our lifetimes.
We are so blessed to live on beautiful Kaua'i. May we be stewards of her land and preserve her special, health-giving environment for generations to come.

Today I'm sharing a simple Salmon Stir Fry recipe, that I can get done in about twenty minutes and offers very little washing up.
I'm all for simple, healthy and easy dinners. Especially mid week, when we've both been for a run or I've been delayed on my way home. The Salmon Stir Fry is a staple, go too recipe for both of us.
With simple recipes you need less faff too. Using Marigold Gloves saves the faff when you're marinating the salmon (my eczema means my hands are often sore and touching raw meat/fish hurts more). Marigold also offer a range of useful cleaning products that make the washing up process quicker too. From the good old rubber gloves, to their Cleaning Me Softly square sponges, that are non-scratch, perfect for cleaning the wok. They also make Super Absorbent Sponge Squares, useful for cleaning up spills. A great range of products to make cleaning up after dinner so much easier!
- 2 salmon fillets
- 4 tbsp Runny honey
- 2 tbsp Light soy sauce
- 1 heaped tsp Chinese five spice
- Bag of stir fry veg (you could use fresh or frozen)
- 2 nests rice noodles
- A further 1-2 tbsp Light soy sauce
- Preheat the oven to 200C fan. Prepare a tray with two squares of tinfoil ready to wrap the salmon in.
- Heat up the honey with 2 tbsp light soy sauce ad the Chinese five spice. A gentle heat for about 5 minutes is perfect.
- Put one filler of salmon in to each square of tinfoil. Fold the edges upwards so you create a boat. Pour the marinade over the fish and make sure it coats each fillet. Fold over the top, so the salmon steams and pop into the oven for 20 minutes.
- After 10 minutes start preparing your stir fry. Heat up some oil in a frying pan, and throw the veg in.
- Prepare the noodles as per the packet (usually about 3 mins in hot water). Drain then throw in with the veg. Towards the end add in the 1-2 tbsp light soy sauce. When done take off the heat. Get the salmon out of the oven when it's done.
- Pour the noodle/veg mix into bowls, then serve with salmon on top. Enjoy!
This Stir Fry Salmon recipe is just so wonderfully quick and easy. You can play around with your marinades too. We also use Thai spices and cook our noodles and stir fry in coconut milk and Thai paste. Sweet chilli sauce as a marinade is wonderful too, served with soy noodles and chopped chilli (don't forget to use gloves!) For veggies you can use these marinades with firm tofu, they work just as well.
What's you're favourite simple mid week dinner? Do you like Stir Fry Salmon? Let me know in the comments,

Sundar Pichai, the newly appointed and highly influential Chief Executive Officer of Google Inc. honoured the lively audience gathered in the sports Complex of SRCC, with his gracious presence today. All the young minds of the colleges and schools of Delhi were eagerly waiting for this day to come- the day when they can meet Mr. Sunder Pichai. He is a man, not only of great wisdom and judgement but also of unparalleled simplicity and integrity. All the spectators who witnessed his being and experienced the feelings which his words created, would never be able to forget this auspicious afternoon.
After rigorous security checks and registrations, the students were provided with an id card and two coupons, one with which they could fill their anxious stomachs with tasty food and the purpose of the other coupon was a surprise for which everyone had to wait till the end of the event.
After entering the Sports Complex and taking their seats, the students were confused with the presence of drums under their seats. Their confusion echoed in the sports complex until the hosts for the event announced that there was going to be a special performance by four enthusiastic drummers. Their performance was quite unequivocal and proved to be a great energiser to the excited audience. The whole sports complex echoed with the solitary sound of drums. There was another performance by 6 fantastic artists who created music solely with their own mouths. Their whimsical performance kept the party going.
Finally the moment came which everyone was waiting for, but before that, everyone was startled at the realisation that Mr. Sundar Pichai will be interviewed by the famous cricketer and commentator, Mr. Harsha Bhogle.
The sports complex reverberated with the claps of the gathered spectators at the arrival of the man himself, Mr. Sundar Pichai. The interview initiated with the question as to how he felt on his first day at google, to which he replied "I felt like a kid in a candy store". Talking over a variety of subjects, he had everyone filled with laughter and the same time an unparalleled inspiration.
From his obsession with football to the future of software development in India, his each and every word filled everyone's heart with great pride. Talking about his childhood, he said that he would add sambhar to payasam as he did not prefer sweetness and also could recall every single phone number his parents needed to telephone. He confessed that he is not really into Twenty20 Cricket wave and that he would like to name the next Android OS after an Indian mithai.
He accepted that he is all about taking risk and taught the gathered audience the importance of being insecure. According to him, one should never be worried or ashamed of being insecure. Also, it is very important to embody creativity in education. Only the embodiment of creativity in education can make everyone educated.
When asked about how many smartphones he has with him or at his home he replied that he has 20 to 30 smartphones lying around in his house that he uses for tests from time to time. He brought his first smartphone in 2006.
After answering questions asked by the live audience, video questions from students of IIT Kharagpur and twitter questions, he made a concluding remark that one should always do what s/he wants to do and never follow others. Filling everyone's heart with great pride and inspiration, he bid adieu to the audience, making it impossible for them to forget the inspirational afternoon spent with him in SRCC. But before that he declared that the second coupon which the students were asked to keep with them till the end of the event was to avail Google Cardboard as a gift from him which filled everyone's hearts with utmost joy.

I clip my nails, and occasionally file them with a glass nail file. I subject my nails to a LOT of acetone, so I use a moisturizing treatment on them every night (Trind Nail Basalm).
I use Trind Nail Balsam too! Any time acetone touches my nails, it is always followed by Trind Nail Balsam or Trind Cuticle Balsam (which differs by just one ingredient and the results are exactly the same – I wouldn't have bought both if I knew this beforehand). Other than that, glass nail file every other manicure session and Burt's Bees Lemon Cuticle Butter a few times throughout the day, everyday. During the winter, my nails get really dry and peely so I treat with Trind Nail Repair. When my cuticles get out of control, I use Nfu-Oh Cuticle Remover and an orange stick (the metal kind and the plastic kind never work well for me).
i bite them to the nub until they bleed & are painful & get acrylics to make myself look somewhat normal & presentable.
I clip them when they get too long and file them with a metal file to shape them. I sometimes rub salve into my cuticles to keep them soft, and I use a clear nail protector because I work with my hands a lot.
No matter what polish, I use Orly's Won't Chip top coat and it keeps my nails looking nice for about 10 to 15 days 🙂
I wish I could have it as uncomplicated.
I have very fast growing and very, very sensitive cuticles and since a couple of years dry and brittle nails. :-/
To remove nailpolish I use acetone remover, as acetonefree remover makes my nails even drier. I use a mineral file to shorten them.
full Manicure:
– Nfu.Oh cuticle remover (holy grail, my cuticles are so sensitive that I can not cut them or use any harsh stuff on them)
– treat with oil
– polish with polish/buffer powder worked in with suede leather file (holy grail: Tana Manoa-Cristal; seals the nails and makes them shiny without removing nailtissue like the regular polishing files)
– base coat with calcium before applying nail polish
– afterwards and every day cuticles get treated with either Lush Lemony Flutter or nipple cream (yup, that stuff for breastfeeding mommies, it contains a lot of lanolin and is way cheaper than Lush, it's also good for the lips)
I'm waiting for replies, I'm so curious and I hope to learn a lot! 😀
you should join the Makeupalley Nail Care Board. Lots of tips!!
Im hooked on gelish nails.Its hard and anti chip like acrylic but doesnt damage the nail and its not thick and ….best of all you can do it at home!!I can finally grow my nails!
its the best..its ricey but… its great my nails always look nice
Once every 3 weeks I clip and file my nails (glass nailfile from KOH, it's amazing!). Once or twice a week I paint my nails, every time I use the Trind nailcaresystem as a base and everyday I use cuticlecream (L'occitane, Lush or Burts Bees). My nails grow really fast and are superstrong (they always were, but thanks to the Trind-system they don't split or break anymore).
I paint my nails around twice a week, my nails are always polished. I clip my nails and then file them with a cheap file… I use a very good nail polish remover that doesn't dry out my nails or my cuticles. Sometimes I use nail harderner for two weeks. Then they're strong enough to hold it for two months.
I file my nails when they need to be filed with a glass file. I use a cuticle remover once a week. I moisturize them at night when I remember.
Change nail color like every three days. I file when I see a chip or a snag and I wear a treatment on my nails since it is super fragile at this point.
I clip my nails whenever I feel like it, and that's pretty much it! xD
Gel refill every two weeks either permanent french or a neutral/nude color–and they last with zero chips for the full 2 weeks. Ahava hand cream with special attention to my cuticles.
I obsess way more over my nails, because I quit biting them a few months ago. 12 years of a bad habit conquered! YES! 😀 They are really thin and fragile though and the cuticle is dry. I use SolarOil to moisturize and a few layers of nailpolish at all times because then I won't bite them.
clip, file square, buff, sanlly hansen maximum growth, burts bees cuticle creme> repeat when they start breaking lol
Okay, I guess I'm kinda of behind but what is a glass file and which one do you use?
I file my nails (or clip if it's too long or I just can't get it even). I then do a four-step buffing routine, followed by a nail strengthener, white under-nail pencil from Sephora, and Sephora for OPI cuticle oil!
I absolutely swear by Barielle Nail Strengthening Cream and Healthy Hoof Intensive Protein Treatment. If I don't use them every night, it shows the next day. They're essential for me because my nails and cuticles get very dry (lots of hand washing and, until recently, lots of polish application and removal!)
As for a routine, I mainly just file them any time there's a rough edge to smooth it out. I love Revlon's emery boards, especially the ones for weak nails & their 'saw' metal file. Then at night I use the creams and apply moisture gloves. That's about all I do.
I also swear by Barielle Nail Strengthening cream. it's amazing and worth buying it in the pot for $17 vs small tube. I always have liked Barielle's Intensive Nail Oil as well but never used the 2 products today – UNTIL I read on the Barielle web site that is just what you should do and what a difference it's made. I always thought if I used the oil over the cream it would dissolve the cream, like on product usually does with another. But these 2 are really compatible. Every night aftering doing my feet with my Footfil (Sally's and in the RED one, not the green one – lasts for more than 7 years – amazing) and I put on Barielle Total Foot Care Cream, I then wait a few mins for that to absorb into my hand skin. Next is the Barielle Strengthening Cream – a little bit of it goes a long way. Then I over lay after about 30 seconds of the cream sitting on my nails, the Barielle Intensive oil and lay there in bed calm and getting into sleep mode – no books, puters – just relax. Let the oil do it's thing. Takes about 10 mins for the oil to absorb into the finger skin and nail area before I can turn and put my hands on my pillows or anywhere. You need to allow this time for the product to absorb. It has kept my always pealing, thin nails from being like that for years now. If I don't use it, in a week my nails are a mess again. They grow, my cuticles are healthy, next to no hangnails ever. And I am one who has MAJOR live long pealing, thin nails. This has made me have beautiful natural nails. I also ONLY use glass nail files. I get mine at Walgreens – not sure of the brand. I like them to come in a plastic storage case. Wash them now and again and they freshen up. Don't like the one you bought, buy another until you find one that has a really good surface. There are a lot of icky glass files out there. Glass is far better than ceramic files – emery boards tear your nails as do the metal (usually sapphire imbedded) files. A glass one lives in my purse and one by the bedside table, one in the drawer next to the couch so they are all over like is my Jack Black lip balm! More on my nail routine later, but I wanted to really give a cheer when I saw another reader who swears by Barielle Strengthening cream…just add the Intensive Nail oil to the routine. You can use the oil in mid day as well if you have time. I am the queen of having tried a ton of oils, creams, gels etc.
I file them square, buff them smooth, and use Deborah Lippman Cuticle Remover (HG!!!)…Then if I am polishing, I use Zoya Anchor Base coat, Polish of my choice, and Zoya Armor top coat….once they dry I use some CND Solar oil…I gotta try a glass file…
I use a glass file to shape my nails, and if they get too long, I just clip them. I use the OPI cuticle remover product thing (lol, how good am I to name products) and then some cuticle oil… that is when I remember to use them lol otherwise, just use an acetone free nail polish remover and then always use a base coat to avoid extreme staining of my nails. Nothing special I think
I have acrylics (fill every three weeks or so) painted with my signature hot pink (OPI La Pazitively Hot for like five years now). I keep them long and square; I know they're kinda tacky but I loooove my ghetto-fabulous nails.
In the process of learning shellac nails (Shella by CND and Gelish by Nail Harmony) so I can stop paying exhorbitant salon prices!
I shape them with a medium grit file..then I use Nail Magic Base Coat Therapy. Then I will either polish them or leave them with just the clear coat. i normally use Poshe t/c but i've run out so i'm using some random color club top coat that came with a set from Ross. I push back my cuticles using the opposing thumb nail lol and sometimes use hand cream..yup.
I get silk fills every 3 weeks. My natural nails are too ridged and peel like onions, don't hold polish well at all, and I don't do well with acrylics. I've had no problems at all with the silks.
I use the CND Shellac every 7 to 10 days,and CND Solar Oil everyday along with lotion.I file them with a Diamencil nail file just in case one snags or looks uneven.
i do gel nails.. its easier, they never chip..however it gets pricey..my nails are soft so a regmanicure doesnt last me more than a few day
I use a nail polish remover that has acetone. I use a crystal file to shape my nails and a buffer to buff out the ridges. I use a base coat and top coat and sometimes drying drops. I also use a cuticle oil and lotions to keep my cuticles hydrated. Various brands, find what works for you! But IMO, all are necessary for a nice, long lasting manicure.
I get a manicure every two weeks.
I'm trying to cut my cuticles less now, but usually I'll just push them back after putting on Butter London's cuticle eliminator. I file them once a week with a glass file and I don't cut them unless they feel like they're going to break. I really like Zoya's nail polish remover because it doesn't dry my cuticles that much. My cuticle oil is usually 100 percent pure argan oil, but I also like Butter London's oil as well (it's just really expensive). Avoplex is okay too. My biggest issue is unruly cuticles that are dry. If anyone has any tips for that, please let me know.
I get an acrylic fill every two weeks. I used to do them super square but I just recently tried some nude stilettos (a la Rihanna) and I am so in love
Well up until recently I didn't have a nail routine because I was a nail biter. I know it's gross,but I've bit my nails ever since I can remember and I am 37 now. It's weird because about 2 months ago my nails just started growing like crazy. I had no intention to quit biting my nails,but they were growing so fast I figured I'd just stop biting them and see what happened.
I went out and bought some stuff to take care of them,a file,orange stick and strengthening polish and went home. I got my file out and started working at my nails trying to even them out and I kept taking too much off one side and so I'd go back and file the other until I ended up having nothing left to file.
Now,like you I am only using nail clippers and I'm saving the file in case I get a rough spot. I know this is going to sound like some infomercial,but I swear that using Haus of Gloi body butter on my hands strengthened my nails to where they would actually grow. I used to have thin,weak nails and the only change I can think of is that I started using the body butter several times a day.
What nail polish remover does everyone recommend? I'd like something that works that isn't super harsh. I need to check out these glass files as well.
Right now, All I do is remove and repolish my nails on Sundays. I really need to develop some kind of routine. Do you have any suggestions, tuts or books to hel me start?

Since the Great Recession hit us in 2007, job security in corporate America has never been the same. Most of us decided to go at alone once we realized that having a job is just as risky as owning a small business. Entrepreneurship wasn't looking too shabby. Since more of us are seeing entrepreneurship as the key to long term financial stability and security, it's important that we know how to analyze our current situation to determine if we're ready. Ask yourself the following questions to determine if entrepreneurship is a quest you're ready to take on:
- Why do you want to be your own boss? Are you just chasing money? If that's the case you may want to rethink your quest for successful entrepreneurship. Your reason behind starting your own business should be so much more than that. You should not only be in it to make money but to help others. As the old saying goes, Help and be helped. You help others improve their lives by what your company offers and you make money. It's a win-win situation.
- Are you in it for the long haul? Growing a successful small business takes time, patience, smart work, and perseverance. There's not many overnight successes in entrepreneurship. You may have to pay yourself the minimum wage when first starting out or forego a salary all together. You'll have to dedicate long hours to building your business so you need to be in it for the long haul and forget about the illusion of easy money.
- Are you ready to be a "Jack or Jill of All Trades?" In the beginning you'll be wearing many hats — owner, manager, sales and marketing director, etc. Therefore you'll need to have a variety of different skills or be willing to expand your knowledge in all areas of business from marketing to information technology. It could be a good long while before you can afford to hire skilled employees in these areas. (Keep in mind that it's always a good idea to outsource these positions to other skilled entrepreneurs in these areas).
- Is Passion Your Driver for Success? Let's face it, entrepreneurship is flat out tough and the number one thing that is going to get you through the hard times is pure passion. You need to be passionate about what you are doing with your small business, if you are not, it will be much harder to motivate yourself and keep it going.
If your answers to the aforementioned questions are mostly positive and you believe you can handle what entrepreneurship entails, it may be time for you to go on your entrepreneurial mission. Before you do, it's also important that you know the top 3 reasons small businesses fail so you can avoid those failures and get the results you want.
Don't be a Failure
It's a well-known fact that more than 95% of new businesses fail. Most of the time it is due to reasons that if addressed early on, are fixable. There are three top reasons most businesses fail:
- Incompetent Leadership: Business owners who aren't innovative and/or don't stand out from the competition. To be successful, you have to know who your customers are and what they want. You also have to provide it to them in a way that no one else has. If you don't know your market and how to reach them, chances are you won't get very far.
- No Real Vision for Growth: As an entrepreneur you need to have a clear vision for growth and be able to share that vision with others that may be able to help you. You need to know where you are now and where you're going to be successful. Not having a plan for growth is a quick way to fail.
- Failure to Take Advantage of Available Resources: You are always going to need extra help. If you don't know exactly what needs to be done to start and grow your business, it would be wise to seek assistance. After all, you won't be able to do everything on your own. Business owners who don't have the proper guidance in areas that they are not well-versed in may find it difficult to reach the level of success they desire. Needing help with marketing and advertising, capital and contract acquisitions, or daily operating tasks is normal in business. Seeking help for these things can take your business to the next level.

- Start with Reasonable Calorie Reduction – often our weight loss goals are significant at the start of the New Year. Being too restrictive and shaving off large amounts of calories can leave a person feeling deprived, bored, fatigued, and at risk of nutrient deficiencies. Evidence shows that slow and steady weight loss through reasonable calorie reduction is the key to weight that stays off long term. So instead, try decreasing your caloric intake by 500 calories per day. This manageable change will make a significant impact in weight within a relatively short period of time. Eliminating 500 calories per day from your diet may sound daunting but it is often easier than you think. On average 1 slice of pizza is around 250 calories, a bagel with cream cheese is roughly 500 calories, and many specialty coffee drinks such as frappuccinos or lattes can run up to 500 calories or more! By reviewing your diet and eliminating some of these items, the small changes you make will add up quickly supporting progress in your weight and health.
- Track Food for Success – figuring out how many calories you consume in a day can be difficult to assess. The best way to stay on top of your diet is to track your foods. This is especially true when you first start making changes in your eating and are unaware of the calories in many of the foods you eat. SuperTracker and My Fitness Pal are both excellent food tracking resources. Getting familiar with the foods you consume on a regular basis can help to direct the changes you make to your diet to adjust calories. A tip on tracking your calories – recommended daily minimum caloric intake for women is 1,200 calories and for men is 1,500 calories. Make sure when tracking you are meeting these minimums for optimal health.
- More Fruits and Veggies – it cannot be stressed enough the importance of more fruits and vegetables as part of a balanced diet. The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends a minimum of 2.5 cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit per day. Not only do fruits and veggies pack a powerful health punch of vitamins and minerals essential for your body but they are also low in calories. This can be very useful when trying to reduce calories in your diet. Try replacing high calorie desserts with fruit or adding more veggies to soups, omelets, and family favorites like lasagna to reduce use of more calorie dense foods like cream and cheese.
- Move More – You don't have to be in the gym hours every day to stay healthy. ANY exercise is better than NO exercise. One of the biggest challenges for working Americans is that being on the job requires sitting ALL. DAY. LONG. Excessive sitting has been linked to many detrimental health outcomes, contributing to conditions such as obesity and high blood pressure. So rather than feeling overwhelmed by the idea of living at the gym, focus on finding ways to be less sedentary. Take the stairs, park farther from stores when shopping, walk with a friend at lunch, stand at your desk whenever possible, or start the day with a brisk walk around the block. These small changes develop positive habits that support larger exercise efforts, improve mood, reduce stress, and can have ripple effects in your health.
Dr. James Levine of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine summarized his findings on inactivity and cognitive processes by stating, "Sitting too long can put our brains into a slumbering state, resulting in slower processing speed and impeded problem-solving capability, learning, and memory retention." I'm not experienced in establishing corporate cultures, but my instincts tell me reduced cognitive ability in the workplace needs direct and purposeful intervention.
The culture of movement minimization in the workplace likely crept into the mainstream because of the responsibility each employee feels to produce. Incorporating physical activity into our normal work patterns is a great way to keep our brains and bodies firing on all cylinders while satisfying our responsibility to be productive members of society. Speaking bluntly, traditional "employee wellness" is a fringe Human Resources issue. Increasing employee productivity to positively impact the bottom line is front and center in every executive office. What steps can companies take to realize the financial benefits of an active workforce?
- Establish a culture that supports and encourages movement at work.
- Moving meetings: recommend that participants in a longer meeting stand as needed and schedule brief meetings as standing or walking events.
- Structure all meetings to end 5-10 minutes early if possible so that attendees can participate in a short bout of movement prior to returning to their desk.
- Where possible, flexible scheduling allows employees to incorporate movement in ways that are convenient to them while still meeting essential business needs.
- Make the environment movement-friendly.
- Increase attractiveness of existing stairwells by using color, good lighting, decoration, and cleanliness.
- Centralize the location of employee mail, office supplies, printers and copiers to promote walking from the desk to these locations.
- In larger buildings, designate and clearly mark approved walking corridors by adding directional arrows. These corridors can be utilized for walking meetings and create a climate controlled space for walking during lunch.
- Add standing height tables without chairs to employee break rooms
- If you are a manager or supervisor, you can be a role model and involve your team members. Investments in movement-friendly policies might fall short of expectations if they lack the support and example of leaders within the company.
"The bottom line: Any employer who aims to maximize work quality and quantity will want to create a movement-friendly workplace as a core business strategy. Changes to the work environment and policies that make movement throughout the workday the norm can help promote a high-performing workforce."

An everyday Youtuber, Linda Morales, uploaded an excruciatingly brief video featuring - I think(?) - an oblong craft with lights all around. Sort of like, a, flying saucer. Or... it could be a bus passing by, or a lit up office building, or... something far stranger. As always, you be the judge!
Read a few quotes from the video (for folks who are at work and can't listen) and watch it here:
Should be an airplane
The video earned a cute comment from the witness' niece:
That's my uncle!! Did you get abducted???

A Week in Tokyo 11
Another week in Tokyo. First up is a snap from the next office tour. There was a lot of sensitive stuff lying around so the company needs to go through the material and approve it. If theres anything left after approval then I will upload ^^; Can you guess which company?
When I first came to Japan, I refused to wait 10 mins for what I considered to be fast food. I then learned how nice the burgers are at Mos Burger and that they are completely different to what one would expect at Mc Donalds.
For example, rice replaces the bread with this seafood rice burger.
An example of how cigarettes are promoted in Japan.
Some Cha-Han for lunch - or "fly lice" as we used to say back in England.
Our car gets the Sha-Ken [車検] - a checkup to see if the car is road worthy and must be taken every few years. Each checkup costs about 70,000 yen. If the car is not inspected by the next checkup due date then one is not allowed to drive the car.
Currently playing Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword on the DS. I have the PS3 version and was skeptical at how a single stylus could control the main character and all the different moves. After playing it for a bit however, I'm still pretty amazed at how well the game is put together in terms of graphics, sound and gameplay.
Ninja Gaiden in action below.
Lunch, Meeting and Haruhi.
This is Taiyaki - its a snack where some read bean paste or custard is sandwiched in some batter and grilled in a mould the shape of a fish.
And this is what it looks like close up - sprinkled with some sugar power.
Posters for the Akihabara Entertainment Festival - ends tomorrow ^^;
At Bic Camera to check out the latest gadgets.
The view from the Starbucks in Shibuya.
At Hachiko where you will always find a load of people waiting around.
The absolutely yummy Maki Horikita.
More Maki. Yum.
Mac users - have you ever seen this message appear after your machine crashes?
I have my home directory on a different partition than my system folder - a habit that I carried over to Mac when I switched from Windows.
When the machine crashes, the partition that has my home directory is unmounted for some reason. After leaving the machine for 5 mins, the lost partition will remount itself and I'm able to log in again...
While the Macs do crash from time to time, they don't need restarting as much as my Windows machines did. When Leopard is booted up, its usually on or sleeping for a few weeks without a single restart.
Question for all users - how often do you restart your machine?
Bento for dinner.
One of the most annoying dramas I've seen. Saw bits of it now and then because my wife liked it ^^; How many of you enjoy Korean dramas too? The only Korean drama that I seem to remember was called "Icing" and that was over ten years ago when I first started to learn Korean.
Getting folks in Tokyo to smile while you take a picture of them is not difficult.
Especially when you are wearing something white n shiny ^^;
I notice more signs that display the station name in Korean and Chinese of late.
This reminds me of when I went to Seattle - they has signs at the airport directing passengers to arrivals in Japanese, Korean and Chinese - but no English ^^;
Italian lunch meeting.
Shopping for groceries.
"Sakamichi"[坂道[さかみち]] is the word for a sloped road and you can commonly hear this word in songs for some reason.
At a shopping center in Kanagawa.
At the Tamiya modeling studios.
Some kids pulling on the bears dolphin.
Picking up groceries before heading back home.
Some mango slush for dessert.

The Wonderlic Test is a standardized test that some employers use to assess the abilities of workers or prospective workers. It became popular in the 1970s, when the National Football League (NFL) began to administer the test to prospective draftees. There used to be only one Wonderlic Test, but now there are two: the The Wonderlic Basic Skills Test (WBST) which measures basics like math and reading and the WPT (Wonderlic Personnel Test) which measures cognitive or problem solving skills.
Find out which Wonderlic test you are taking. Each test is very different, and will affect how you prepare for and study for the test. It will also affect which online practice test you take, if you choose to do so.
Familiarize yourself with the details of the test version you are going to take. The test can range from basic skills learned in school to more cognitive thinking, which tests your ability to problem solve. Being prepared for the specific type of test ensures that you will not waste time practicing the wrong skills or prep questions.
Familiarize yourself with the scoring system of the Wonderlic. Since your final test score depends on correct answers, you are not penalized for incorrect answers. This could affect your test taking strategy, depending on what score your test administrator wishes you to get.
Read a practice guide for your version of the Wonderlic. There are many available online, some for free and others for a fee.
Set a score goal. Depending on who is giving you the Wonderlic test and what they would like for you to score, this goal can vary. Set your goal then follow the rest of the steps until you achieve it.
Take a practice test. There are many practice tests for each version of the Wonderlic available online. Some are free, while others charge a fee. Make sure to take the test under test conditions, such as in a quiet environment. Don't forget to time the test, since all Wonderlic tests are timed.
Score your practice test. If you did not get to your goal score, review the practice guide and try again. Repeat until you achieve your goal score.
Things You Will Need
- Timer
- Computer
- Internet Connection
- Take a few sharpened no. 2 pencils with you to the test if your test is in written form. If you are not sure if the test is computerized or written, take some anyways just in case. Better to be prepared and look prepared in the eyes of a possible future employer.
- Get a good night's sleep. Even though most Wonderlic tests are fairly short, even the smallest cut in sleep time can result in difficulty concentrating and decreased awareness. Either one of these could lead to increased time to answer each question, resulting in incomplete tests. This could impact your final score.

By Madhu Raghunathan, Product Strategy Leader at GE Healthcare Life Sciences
In today's bioprocessing industry, there is an increasing demand to cut costs while ensuring that product quality is not compromised whatsoever.
Specifically, improvements in productivity and efficiency are ranked as the single most important area on which the biomanufacturing industry should focus its efforts (12th Annual BioPlan report 2015).
These improvements are relevant for both existing and new facilities, and agility and flexibility in production are key elements. Novel technologies and innovative process strategies, such as intensified processing, enable more efficient biomanufacturing operations, even for existing facilities.
FIND OUT MORE: See Madhu Raghunathan talk at BioProcess
International European Summit in April – register here
Better expression systems, media & process control strategies, and improvements in bioprocessing equipment have led to improved Upstream efficiencies and increased titers. With these improvements, new, and previously unexplored, challenges arise. Downstream processes need to handle higher amounts of both target protein and impurities. So, to make full use of the upstream advances, downstream processes must be intensified.
Process intensification can be thought of as a toolbox comprising of a set of tools that include technologies and solutions such as – single use technology, automated column packing, continuous processing, inline buffer conditioning, etc. – that when applied independently, or in conjunction with each other, can significantly improve the overall efficiency and process economics of existing or stickbuilt facilities.
Madhu Raghunathan is speaking on the various methods for improving downstream operations, including details of the techniques, process economics and case studies on Day 2 the BioProcess International European Summit in Vienna (Unlocking the Potential for Efficiency in Downstream Bioprocesses).

After the update, the following mail was sent to all players:
Captain's Council, Lion's Arch
Emergency — Lion's Arch Is Being Invaded
To all Tyrians,
This is a general emergency warning. A few hours ago, a massive flying platform has entered Sanctum Harbor, bringing destruction and spreading a lethal miasma over the city. Furthermore, Aetherblade airships, Molten portals, and Toxic forces are overwhelming the Lionguard response.
Some of the citizenry is still trapped inside the city limits. We are calling on available heroes to assist in the evacuation efforts.
Lion's Arch needs you. If you can, please report to the forward camps in Gendarran Fields, Bloodtide Coast, and Lornar's Pass at once.

School attendance is mandatory for all children in Germany between 6 and 15 years of age. Home schooling is not permitted.
The German school year usually starts in August or early September and ends in June or July. The actual dates vary from year to year and from state to state. Summer break lasts about six weeks, with further holiday periods of varying length in autumn, around Christmas, and in spring.
Most primary schools are half-day schools and offer classes in the morning only, but a growing number of Göttingen primary schools nowadays provide after-school care. Some secondary schools are full time schools and even in those that aren't: the higher the grade, the more afternoon sessions will be held.
The vast majority of schools are public schools, run by the government and do not charge tuition fees. You do, however, have to pay for books and teaching material, as well as for excursions. The same goes for the Roman Catholic schools. The private Montessori and Waldorf schools are co-funded by public funds and charge moderate income-related fees.
The general language of instruction is German. English language classes usually start in grade one in Göttingen. Later, pupils have the opportunity to learn further foreign languages, such as Latin, French, or other languages.
After four years of primary school (Grundschule), pupils are streamed to different types of secondary schooling (Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium, Gesamtschule) depending on their abilities.
Children start primary school (Grundschule) between the ages of five-and-a-half and six-and-a-half, depending on the month your child was born. The number of weekly hours of lessons at primary school varies from 20 to 30, depending on the class and the age of the child.
Primary school lasts for four years. In the final year the child and the parents receive a recommendation from the teachers concerning the type of schools most appropriate for her/his continuing education in secondary school. This recommendation is based on the teacher's evaluation of the child's performance, abilities and interests.
The lowest track in the German education system is the general school (Hauptschule), which goes through to the 9th or 10th grade. It prepares pupils for vocational education and ends with a "Hauptschulabschluss". The Hauptschule is designed for those who are less academically gifted and where pupils prepare for occupations that require vocational training. Graduates generally enter an apprenticeship (Lehre) in a manual trade, sometimes combined with some part-time studies at a vocational school (Berufsschule).
A Realschule is more advanced than the Hauptschule and goes through to the 10th grade. It offers a broader range of emphasis for intermediary students and ends with a "Realschulabschluss/Mittlere Reife". The Realschule is designed for those who will be entering an apprenticeship in a commercial trade or medical profession such as nursing. The emphasis is more on mathematics and language skills than on manual activities. If pupils have performed well in Realschule, they can transfer to the Gymnasium.
This school is the highest level of secondary education and ends with the Abitur and prepares pupils to enter university. It goes through to the 12th (some still to 13th) grade. This is the most demanding type of schooling, with 32 to 40 hours of lessons per week and lots of homework.
The comprehensive school (Gesamtschule) combines the Gymnasium, Realschule and Hauptschule. This school type allows pupils to switch between the different tracks without changing the schools.

Guild Wars 2 – review
Guild Wars 2 is a game which was awaited by millions, virtually by the whole MMO genre, and I waited too – for more than five years. But relax, let's start from the beginning that is from the first Guild Wars, which in 2005, in a way, has revolutionized the MMO market. The game was original, but excelled in a slightly different target than the reigning then World of Warcraft. The whole experience from Guild Wars one and observation of the market allowed to start work on the follow-up, which at the time of the announcement seemed as a wonderful, perfect MMORPG.
Some of you will say that each game in the assumptions to be great, unique, super perfect. It's true, but Guild Wars 2 has made something out of the ordinary. Despite postponing the release date, the vision of the game was still coherent and materials that came out from time to time were coinciding with these from 2007. In the meantime, there were released some "killers" like Star Wars: The Old Republic, Warhammer Online, or Age of Conan. All of these productions imitated to a greater or lesser extent the WoW hoping that, thanks to the known universe they will gather crowds of fans. What have made people from ArenaNet in the meantime? Virtually the same as in the case of the first part of the Guild Wars – they redefined the genre rather than compete with existing giants.
At first glance, it looks like a rather standard MMORPG. We run around the map, do quests, kill monsters, go with a bunch of friends to a dungeon, collect raw materials to produce items, earn money, or fight in the arenas. The only thing that seems to stand out is the World vs World mode, but I'll discuss it later. Guild Wars 2 does not change the assumptions of the genre, but only consolidates all elements constituting a coherent whole, which was re-planned from scratch. So, for example, creators removed from the quest system the requirement to visit the NPC in order to approve a task or get a prize, and as the main source of experience points there are the dynamic events. They act as a lure for all players in a given location. Immediately a dozen or more players come and just after the quest was completed they go back to what they had been doing before. The reason for this is probably the biggest advantage of Guild Wars 2 which is no separation of experience points. It does not matter whether the monster is killed by two or two thousand players – everyone will get the same amount of experience points, and loot of course. This is the end for the principle "first come, first served". In Guild Wars 2 everyone is a winner. It is compounded by a system of achievements and awards for any action in the game. This system was already present in other productions, but here it is applied to virtually any activity.
However, the end game content, which in other games is available only after achieving the maximum level of experience, here can be accessed by players from the very beginning. Everything the game has to offer in the subject of Player vs Player, you can try out from the first level of experience. Only special dungeons for 5-player groups of players are unlocked every ten levels. Guild Wars 2 is so hipster that instead of flying on wings or using some mounts to do so, ArenaNet bet at the underwater world. While entering the reservoir of H2O your equipment is replaced with an aqualung and some weapons in the form of a harpoon, spear, or trident.
Finally the time has come for World vs. World in which for 2 weeks three servers fight each other on a huge map for the raw materials, fortifications and, of course, points. However, you do not need to meet any restrictive requirements because each new character can immediately jump into this mode. The only pity is that the ability to teleport on this huge map is so limited and after death the way back to the battlefield may take longer than the fight itself. On the other hand, it is possible that the creators wanted players to be better at planning their actions, rather than mindlessly threw themselves into the battle.
The PvP mode is quite different. Here, every player is equal in terms of equipment and their skills, so it is the reflexes and good tactics that counts. Matches are played on four different maps. The first team to reach 500 points wins. It is a PvP mode that is probably the most similar to what offered the first part of the Guild Wars.
Fighting is based on three pillars – skills, dodging and tactics. Of course, if you spam with one skill you will be able to do something, but only after reading up with your character, skills and choosing your own style of play – the real fun begins. When I play my thief I very often toggle between short bow and two daggers. It makes five permanent skills for a particular type of weapon more understandable. You just have to find your style of gameplay and not stick to just one type of weaponry. While fighting it is wise to remain in motion and use dodging – very often it can save your life. However, if you don't manage, not everything is lost yet. Each player before his death first receives the status of downed. While downed you can be resurrected, cured by another player, or by using four special skills and a dose of luck to save yourself.
Guild Wars 2, as its name suggests, has also a guild system. Guilds show their power in the World vs. World. Cool thing is that each player can belong to several guilds at a time and only change, which is currently representing. The friendly image of Guild Wars 2 is broken a bit by lack of direct item trading system. The only way is to dispatch items by mail, however, you will never be sure if the contractor will send the promised goods.
Now about microtransactions. Of course, it is best, when there is no Item Shop. But the game must earn for itself. Fortunately the game is constructed in a way that even the most epic, or expensive item will not change any gameplay balance.
Tyria is a huge and super diverse. Each area is very well thought out and seamlessly connects with the others. But the most spectacular is the design of locations and the whole artistic project of the game. Even the interface looks as if it was painted. As always, there is the ultra awesome Jeremy Soule soundtrack which only deepens the artistic-pathetic climate. The game impresses with refinement, although in the first week after its release there were some minor problems with quests and the auction house. The overall optimization has been greatly improved in relation to this, what you could have experienced during the beta tests. And right now probably only the World vs. World mode may cause some problems on mid-end machines. The issue of queues was also cleverly resolved – there are no queues. To put it simply, if the server is full the player is sent on a second, backup server and can continue his or her adventure.
Time for a verdict. Guild Wars 2 gets from me a 10 out of 10. The main reason for the highest possible grade is that ArenaNet kept its promises made five years ago. No subscription fees , many ways of development, various game modes and a great world that each player will be happy to visit – and even more because each activity is rewarded in some way. Guild Wars 2 is a game that simply does not disappoint.

ESFA TROPHYMoorland School from Clitheroe aiming for national glory in the ESFA PlayStation®Schools' Cup Finals
Moorland School from Clitheroe will take to the hallowed turf of Reading FC's Madejski Stadium as they bid to win the countrywide U14 Boys English Schools' FA (ESFA) PlayStation® Schools' Cup.
Moorland School will be part of the three-day PlayStation Schools' Cup Festival, which runs from Monday 21st to Wednesday 23rd May. They will face Ibstock Place from Surrey, on Tuesday 22nd May with the opportunity to be crowned the ESFA U14 PlayStation Schools' Cup champions.
The finals festival sees all players given the full match-day experience. They will warm up in Reading FC's £1million indoor training facility before changing in the main stadium dressing room and making their way onto the Madejski Stadium pitch in front of a lively and enthusiastic crowd.
With free entry for all attendees, the Festival has become a popular day out for supporters and school friends. Over 6,000 spectators attended last year's finals. A feast of football, celebrity appearances and a series of spectator competitions and activities contribute to the electric atmosphere. The volume will be cranked up even louder this year with a decibel meter measuring the noisiest supporters each day.
Last year's Festival was backed by Peter Crouch, Leighton Baines and England women's captain Steph Houghton. This year's finals are set to attract a host of star names keen to support this highly acclaimed grassroots initiative – the biggest in England.
PlayStation UK Marketing Director Mark Bowles commented: "We're delighted to return to Reading Football Club for the 2018 PlayStation Schools' Cup Festival. It is great to give so many pupils the chance to represent their school in a national tournament. For the competing players and their travelling supporters, the trip to the Madejski Stadium will be their equivalent to a Wembley final."
ESFA Chairman, Owen Aiston, added: "The ESFA PlayStation Schools' Cup Festival is a fantastic opportunity to showcase some of the very best Schools' Football talent in England. Teams who have made it to the National Finals have already shown themselves to be amongst the best squads in the country, which is an outstanding achievement for all involved. We are thrilled to be welcoming schools and their supporters back to Reading FC's Madejski Stadium for, what is sure to be, another fantastic event."

We Specialize in Evidence-Based Acupuncture to Treat Pain
Dr. Godwin practices acupuncture based on a modern scientific model. This approach is also known as "medical acupuncture" or "evidence-based acupuncture."
Only the top 3% of Acupuncturists Have Earned the Doctor of Acupuncture and OM Degree (DAOM)
Acupuncture is no longer a "complement" or an "alternative"—it is an option. Evidence-based acupuncture is the future of acupuncture in the US. The integration of acupuncture into mainstream medicine is lead by DAOMs, who have the highest level of education and specialty training in acupuncture. Jacob Godwin is currently the only DAOM practicing in Spokane—and we are happy to have him.
DAOMs rely on the same diagnostic information as other doctors along with acupuncture-specific diagnostic information. This means that they are better able to integrate your acupuncture with your other treatments, such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, medications, and surgery.
With more education in biomedicine, a DAOM is able to communicate effectively with other members of your health care team. It also means that your acupuncture treatments are designed and implemented according to the very best evidence available. This approach may differ from that of acupuncturists who have not earned a DAOM, and can make a big difference in the effectiveness of your treatments.
Jacob Godwin, DAOM, LAc
Dr. Godwin has been one of Spokane's highest ranked acupuncturist for 2 years now by healthgrades.com. His practice is one of the fastest growing acupuncture clinics in Spokane. Dr. Godwin is the "go-to" acupuncturist for surgeons, primary care physicians, and many other healthcare professionals.
What is the key to Dr. Godwin's success, you might ask. Well, it is simple: Dr. Godwin has the highest possible degree of training in the field of acupuncture, he embraces an evidence-based approach, and he has more than a decade of clinical experience to bring to bear on his patients' problems.
Dr. Godwin's specialized advanced training along with his 10+ years of clinical experience make him a valuable addition to the Spokane healthcare community. Dr. Godwin's doctoral training and research has focused on evidence-based approaches to acupuncture. The leading edge of acupuncture is taking the best from the tradition of Chinese medicine and upgrading it with a scientific approach.
Besides his clinical work, Dr. Godwin is a published author heavily involved in research and integration at the national level through the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AAAOM) and the National Guild of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NGAOM).
