Preventing ill health
We want to improve the way that services are provided with a greater focus on helping people earlier rather than later and keeping people well. Examples of this include:
- Supporting people to stop smoking - nearly 20% of people smoke in West Yorkshire and Harrogate. This is higher than the national average
- Reducing the number of people admitted to hospital due to alcohol consumption by 500 every year and reducing the number of ambulance call-outs for related incidents. In West Yorkshire and Harrogate alcohol consumption is a major concern - there are around 455,000 heavy drinkers across the area
- People with long term health conditions spend most of their time looking after themselves. We want to support them to do this with a focus on preventing illness, so they can stay well
- In West Yorkshire and Harrogate there are higher than average childhood obesity levels and 50% of people are overweight. We want to provide more people with support to help them to lead healthier lives
- Over 200,000 people are at risk of diabetes in the area. Our aspiration is that 50% of these people are offered diabetes prevention support.
You can read this presentation to find out more about our plans for a preventative approach to health and social care for our local population.
Mental health
We want to make sure that mental health services are integrated orcombined with physical health servces - this will ensure we care and treat the 'whole' person. For example, we will support people with long-term physical health conditions to cope with anxiety or depression.
We are developing services across the area to reduce the difference in the quality of mental health care that people receive in order to improve their wellbeing and make services better.
It is important to us to develop services to improve the experience of care for people in mental health crisis, and we want to reduce the number of people taking their own lives, so we are creating a region-wide multi-agency suicide prevention strategy.
West Yorkshire and Harrogate health care partners work together to prevent suicide
Organisations from across West Yorkshire and Harrogate are joining forces to adopt a 'zero' suicide approach, where every death by suicide is viewed as preventable.
Mental health providers, ambulance, police and fire services, local councils, prison services and voluntary community organisations are coming together to make a real difference through what is an ambitious but practical strategy to tacking suicide. You can read the plan here. An info graphic is also available here. The plan sets out how they will reduce suicide by 10% across the West Yorkshire and Harrogate area, and by 75% in targeted areas.
New committee brings together mental health providers across West Yorkshire
Our NHS mental health providers in West Yorkshire have developed new arrangements to further build on the work already underway across the area.
Known as the West Yorkshire Mental Health Services Collaborative, the organisations have been working together for the past 12 months to improve mental health services for local communities as part of our wider partnership approach.
The mental health collaborative includes:
· Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust
· Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LYPFT)
· Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust
· South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SWYPFT)
Each organisation's Board has approved the establishment of a 'Committees in Common', with each maintaining its statutory responsibilities to its own Board and responsibility for delivering its own services.
The new committee will help ensure that decisions are made together and in a streamlined way around a shared programme of work. It will also see that collective ambitions are achieved, for e.g. eliminating out of area placements for young people, and delivering the region's five-year suicide prevention strategy, launched in November 2017.
The first quarterly meeting took place on 30 April. The chair of the committee will rotate every twelve months and beginning with Prof Sue Proctor, chair of LYPFT.
The four organisations' chairs and chief executives sit on the new committee with an overarching set of principles, which will see the organisations:
- Working on the greatest challenges together to ensure high quality, sustainable mental health services
- Reducing variation in quality by sharing good practice which achieve better outcomes for people
- Taking a collaborative approach across the region to the delivery of acute and specialist mental health services, via clinical pathways and networked services (rather than individual place / provider-led developments)
- Developing 'centres of excellence' for more specialist mental health services such as forensic services, inpatient child and adolescent mental health services, and adult eating disorders
- Delivering economies of scale in mental health service support functions.

Every week 250 people in West Yorkshire and Harrogate are diagnosed with cancer and sadly 115 people will lose their fight each week. By working together in our partnership, our ambitions are to:
- Prevent cancer where possible and significantly reduce the 40% of cancers which are caused by behavioural, environmental and lifestyle factors, with a particular focus on tobacco control
- Make more cancer curable by improving the speed at which patients receive their diagnosis. We also want to support people to understand and act upon the early signs and symptoms of cancer
- Promote access to screening programmes for cancers
- Ensure that the experience of individual patients is taken as seriously as the seriousness of their clinical care and treatment
- Support people to live as full and active a life as possible with and beyond their cancer diagnosis
- Invest in modern and high quality services
- Transform the way that organisations work together to make sure that cancer treatment, care and support is wrapped around the patient and not purely based on a single condition or organisational boundaries.
Here in West Yorkshire and Harrogate, our Cancer Alliance works within the context and framework of the health and care partnership, taking forward the recommendations of the national cancer taskforce strategy to achieve world class outcomes for patients in the area. This includes agreeing, coordinating and assuring the delivery plans that are developed in the six local places of the partnership.

We know that a stroke can have a devastating impact on a person's life, as well as their family members.
September 2018 update
This information has been produced to give you an update on West Yorkshire and Harrogate (WY&H) stroke care work. Keeping everyone updated is an important part of our work. We want to keep you regularly updated so that you have the opportunity to discuss developments as they progress.
Since the previous update in February there has been lots of activity in order to progress the WY&H stroke care work. Following the workshop that took place on 2 February we scheduled further workshops in each of our six local areas (Bradford District and Craven, Calderdale, Harrogate. Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield) which took place during the week commencing 26 March. The sessions included health care profossional, community organisations and people who have experience stroke.
A further workshop also took place on 30 May. The aim of the workshop was to seek peoples' views on our work to date and gain their views on the development of a decision making criteria for specialist stroke services to further inform next steps.
You can read more about the workshops and what people told us here.
We have also continued to work closely with our partners, stakeholders, community and voluntary organisations, clinical experts and our staff to inform our work and have provided regular updates to the WY&H Joint Committee (held in public) and the Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (JHOSC), the WY&H Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Assurance Group.
You can read more about what people have told us and what WY&H stroke programme has progressed to date 'you said, we did'.
February 2018 update
This information has been produced to give you an update on West Yorkshire and Harrogate stroke care work so far.
Keeping everyone updated is an important part of our work. We want to keep you regularly updated so that you have the opportunity to discuss developments as they progress. Please see attached the draft timelines for the coming months work. Please note these are subject to change.
West Yorkshire and Harrogate stroke care event 2 February 2018
Over 50 health and social care professionals, community organisations, councillors, people who have experienced stroke and carers attended an event organised by West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership (WY&H HCP) in Bradford on Friday 2 February. The event builds on the public engagement work from February and March 2017, and a clinical summit in May 2017, where consultants, doctors and other health care professionals came together to consider how they could further improve stroke care across the area. You can view the slides here and a report from the event will be published here soon.
November 2017 update
This information has been produced to give you an update on West Yorkshire and Harrogate stroke care work so far.
Keeping everyone updated is an important part of our work. We want to keep you regularly updated so that you have the opportunity to discuss developments as they progress. You can also view the stroke report presented to West Yorkshire and Harrogate Joint Committee of the 11 Clinical Commissioning Groups on the 7 November 2017 here.
The Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network working with our partnership to prevent stroke
AF causes a fast and erratic heartbeat which is a major factor of stroke. The work is about detecting and treating people who are at risk of stroke so that around 9 in 10 people with AF are managed by GPs with the best local treatments, saving lives and delivering efficiencies too.
AHSN are also working closely with Right Care and the British Heart Foundation
to ensure the support they give is evidence based and delivers the best health care outcomes possible.
The work also highlights the importance of further improving awareness of the signs and symptoms of stroke.
The West Yorkshire and Harrogate programme involves the 11 clinical commissioning groups across the area. The AHSN will support 80 general practices to improve the care people receive across the area, saving a minimum of 190 strokes, over the next 3 years.
The intractable problem of irregular heart rhythm causes real problems. Every year, one in 20 people with AF will have a stroke. For every five people with AF that have a stroke, two will die, two will have to go into a care home and only one will return to their own home.
The AHSN has previously worked with West Yorkshire and Harrogate through the Heathy Futures Collaborative. In 2015, the collaborative created a commissioning strategy to improve care for people known to have AF. This successful strategy has benefitted 8,094 patients and is calculated to be preventing around 200 strokes a year.
Primary and community care
Primary care includes a wide range of services including your local GP, pharmacies and mental health and social care services.
We would like to see more care delivered in local community and primary care settings for example, a GP practice, rather than people needing trips to hospital. We think many of the tests and treatments for minor injuries and minor surgery that are usually provided in hospital could be provided closer to home.
We would also like to:
- Consider what other services could be provided under one roof, including physiotherapy and citizens advice services, bring everything together into 'community hubs'
- See more GPs in training, work together more closely with community and mental health services. By working in teams, health and social care professionals can provide advice and treatment for you together, instead of you needing lots of appointments in different departments
- See more GPs delivering 'social prescribing'. This is connecting up GPs with community based solutions to help people to manage their health conditions as effectively as possible. To find out more about what social prescribing is, and the work that the Patient Empowerment Project has been doing in Leeds, watch the video below
- Work with our GP practices to make sure that you can easily book an appointment, view your medical records, and request a repeat prescription online. Advice and support should be as convenient as possible for you, including making the best possible use of smart phones and digital technology.
To find out more about how we want to use digital technology to engage more people in health and social care services, watch the video below.
Please also find out more about how we want to support carers in the community.
Read this report to find out more about work commissioned by West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership about primary and community care. The report talks about the benefits of the 'left shift'. The left shift is about moving clinical care, as appropriate, for patients from hospitals into the community; with the intent that this will lead to better health and wellbeing, better quality of care as well as making sure services meet people's needs now and in the future
Urgent and emergency care
Many people believe that A&E is a convenient place to go if you have a problem with your health, as it is seen to offer the highest level of expertise, with access to diagnostic equipment such as x-rays. However medicine has changed – GPs, ambulance staff and people working in a wider range of services can and do provide urgent and emergency care.
We wanted to find out why people use A&E as a first port-of-call. As a member of our partnership, Healthwatch Kirklees carried out an exercise to find out why people use A&E and you can find out what they discovered by reading the engagement report.
Our vision for urgent and emergency care is that we should provide a highly responsive service that delivers care as close to home as possible, minimising disruption and inconvenience for patients, carers and families.
You can read lots of examples of how we are already taking new approaches to urgent and emergency care close to home.
The West Yorkshire Acceleration Zone (WYAZ) was set up to deliver improvements in urgent and emergency care delivery across our area. WYAZ is the only urgent and emergency acceleration zone in the country.
The Next Steps for Urgent and Emergency Care (UEC) was appropved by the UEC Programme Board in July 2018. This document outlines our three key priorities and deliverables.
Urgent and emergency care milestone tracker
This milestone tracker template was submitted to NHS England to set out our draft targets in achieving progress in key areas of work to deliver better urgent and emergency care across our area. Please note that the figures in red have been set by NHS England.
Urgent and emergency care dashboard
We are continuing to monitor the number of patients who are entering our urgent and emergency care system within West Yorkshire and Harrogate. An updated dashboard is now available to view which gives a breakdown on the latest figures including A&E attendances, how we are managing our discharge processes and more importantly the experience that patients receive when they access these services.
The dashboard will be produced and updated monthly.
Hospitals working together
We would like to see local hospitals working in partnership with one another to give you access to the very best facilities and staff. This could mean care will be provided by a team of expert medical staff who work together across a number of hospital sites within a single, high quality service.
Please read this document to find out more about the West Yorkshire Association of Acute Trusts and how it is bringing hospitals together.
Professor Liz Kay from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust talks about improving the medical prescription supply system and the benefits to patients by working together.
Making commissioning policies the same
There is a big opportunity to make all our commissioning policies (the policies we have about buying health and social care services) the same and reduce the difference in the treatment that people across West Yorkshire and Harrogate can access. People often call the difference in treatment that they receive based on where they live a 'postcode lottery'. We want to make sure that what care people receive is fair and consistent no matter where you live.
Our nine Clinical Commissioning Groups have joined together to form a Joint Committee, which will help us to make all commissioning policy the same.
You can read more about making our commissioning policies the same and best practice about getting rid of the postcode lottery.
Standardisation of policies engagement and mapping information
The elective care and standardisation of policies programme is one of our nine West Yorkshire and Harrogate priorities. Others include cancer, mental health, and acute hospitals working together, maternity, urgent and emergency care.
What do we want to do?
Elective care means health care and treatment that is planned or 'chosen' by people to help manage a health problem, such as an ongoing condition, rather than treatment that is required urgently or in an emergency.
Standardisation of polices means reducing differences in the way health care can be accessed in different places across West Yorkshire and Harrogate. Reducing unnecessary differences helps to ensure that what care people receive is fair and consistent no matter where they live.
The ambition for the elective care and standardisation of commissioning policies programme is to deliver the right care, at the right time, in the right place so that we achieve the best health for the people of West Yorkshire and Harrogate, and achieve best value in how we use our resources.
By supporting people to make healthier choices and preventing avoidable ill-health we can, in the longer term, reduce the demand on some of the elective health care services in West Yorkshire and Harrogate.
Providing the most efficient care and making the best use of our existing capacity is important if we are to increase the responsiveness of our services, improve access for patients and reduce the number of people who have to wait longer than they should to receive treatment.
By harmonising our health policies we aim to remove the postcode lottery and variation that currently exists across West Yorkshire and Harrogate, so that access and eligibility criteria are the same for all people, regardless of where they live and all people have a positive experience of care.
Our work plan
The programme is divided into the following strands which address various aspects of planned care:
1. Supporting healthier choices is a programme to ensure people are encouraged, and supported to make healthier lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking, losing weight or becoming more physically active at the time when they are referred to elective care services.
2. Our work on outpatient services will reimagine and transform how and where outpatient services are delivered, focussing on the needs of the patients. This programme will focus on elective orthopaedic and musculoskeletal services, and on eye care services.
3. Working in partnership with acute hospitals we aim to reduce variation in the delivery of services across the area, maximising capacity to reduce waiting times and ensuring a sustainable NHS for the future.
4. People's perception of a postcode lottery is driven in part by the variation in clinical thresholds and commissioning policies across West Yorkshire and Harrogate. We will work to align these across the area ensuring equality in access for patients, starting with procedures of limited clinical value and policy for elective orthopaedic and eye care procedures.
5. The prescribing programme will address unwarranted variation and waste, ensuring we are achieving best value from the medicines budget across West Yorkshire and Harrogate.
The West Yorkshire and Harrogate Joint Committee of the Nine Clinical Commissioning Groups has agreed that we will move forward with this approach over the next couple of years. It will take time to build the support we need in our communities; however we are not starting from scratch.
We already have some fantastic services in place, but they need to be able to meet the needs of a larger number of people and we will need to change the way in which that support is offered.
We serve a diverse range of communities and recognise that people have different needs which require different solutions. A big part of this is not presuming we know what people think, but asking, involving and listening instead.
Over the next few months we will be working to understand the differences in elective health care services and policies across West Yorkshire and Harrogate, and what we need to do to reduce the variation. We will be looking for examples of where things are working well so we can spread this across West Yorkshire and Harrogate. Most importantly we will be talking to staff and our communities.

Show Us Your Life (Kids Eat)
Show us your life at Kelly's Korner is what do you feed your kids? Brielle has always been a great eater. Now she's doesn't always eat well at every meal but as long as she has one really good meal a day I don't worry. I do not believe in feeding her fast food or any other junk until she's old enough to ask for it and wonders why every other kid eats it but her...even then I'm not sure I'll give it to her ha. Most the time I'll even make her dinner to take with us when we go out to eat...that saves us money and it's sooo much healthier for her!
MMMMMM rice cereal
I like my greens
Breakfast usually consists of a few of these, warm cup of milk, whole grain hot cereal, fruit, eggs, yogurt.
Her snacks pretty much consist of string cheese, cheerios, bananas, blueberries, whole wheat bread and yogurt, all organic if possible! (yes I buy organic cheerios, I'm a bit crazy when it comes to this stuff) She only drinks milk and water, I'm thinking about throwing some rice milk in the mix too. I still haven't given her honey or nuts, I'm too paranoid, I'll wait till she's 2 : )
Lunch and Dinner...Whatever we eat!
I also try not to make eating and meal time a big deal, meals shouldn't be a stressful time (the key word here is try, sometimes I do get frustrated) Also I always try to serve Brielle exactly what we eat, I've been around some moms who ask their kids what they want...so they say pizza...then mom makes pizza, and guess what, the kid doesn't want pizza anymore they want a hot dog! Not in this house! How annoying would that be!
Eating a chicken avocado sandwich for the first time by herself
mom actually let me have some ice cream!!!
feeding myself yogurt for the first time, we need a lot of practice!
If she says "no" and I feel like she's eaten enough, which she usually has, I will stop. I don't want her to learn to overeat and keep going even when she is full. I also do that to show her that I respect when she says "no" and that it's not just an annoying word we say all the time that doesn't' have true meaning, that way she will hopefully respect it when mommy and daddy say "no", so far so good!

You have a wonderful attitude toward mealtime and I wish more parents could have that ability to have that respect--she truly is a 'happy eater'! By the way I love your daughter's name and her eyes are amazing..I am sure you hear that all the time!ReplyDelete

Love keeping up with your sweet family through your blog and YES stay away from peanuts for as long as possible, Mason had some when he was 18 months old and had a horrible allergic reaction and almost died. I. AM. SCARED. OF. NUTS. :) You are an awesome mama! Take care!ReplyDelete

Crack Kitchen
Black pudding isn't everyone's idea of a good time. Then again, neither is transforming a run-down building into a busy city cafe.
When Katie Palmer and husband Kim spotted the former Franklin Street bank and video-gaming bar they knew they had to have it. Katie, who also owns The Loose Caboose, is the former owner of Semaphore's Whipped Bake Bar Cafe.
Crack Kitchen makes use of the tall, narrow building's natural light. There's a lot of white and a bit of a Scandinavian vibe. Emma Sadie Thomson (EST) plants and hangers add a touch of greenery to the space, which opened in 2016.
The first floor is dedicated to dining and a roastery operates on the mezzanine.
The all-day brunch menu is a nod to British head chef David Bennett's homeland. It includes bircher muesli; bubble and squeak; brioche Welsh rarebit; house-made black pudding; beef brisket; and gingerbread pikelets. Local suppliers include Fleurieu Milk Company, Gumview Free Range Eggs, Hoods Earth Eggs, Flavacado, San Jose Smallgoods, and Say Cheese.
Pots of tea, smoothies, fresh juices, milkshakes and organic soft drinks round off the menu.

These days there are lines out the door at weight watchers, gyms are jam-packed and supplement stores are making big profits, all because we probably ate a little too much over the holidays and have now vowed to lose the extra weight, and that's a good thing. Losing weight is actually not that hard; technically all you have to do is reduce your calories each day just a bit and workout and the pounds will typically come off, unfortunately these pounds are mostly water retained from being bloated, and muscle as opposed to fat. Fat loss on the other hand is more challenging; you have to eat the right amount of calories, the right types of food and do the right types of workouts all the while getting enough rest. Today we're going to look at how you can actually lose fat by eating certain foods and other strategies that you can adopt to get even better results.
The first item on our list is grapefruit. Grapefruit has the ability to reduce insulin levels and it contains a chemical called naringin which prevents fat from being stored in the body. Now don't go crazy and start a grapefruit only diet; ½ of a grapefruit with your breakfast is reasonable or eat 1 whole grapefruit as part of your pre-workout meal as I do in the morning. Next up ginger, a powerhouse food that can reduce inflammation, boost blood flow to muscles which in turn aids in muscle recovery and increases calorie burn. Ginger has a very strong flavor though, so a little bit each day goes a long way. Another great food is avocado, even with its high fat content it delivers tons of nutritional benefits. Avocado contains monounsaturated fat which can be readily burned as fuel during exercise which encourages the body to burn fat. It also contains a carbohydrate called mannoheptulose which is a sugar that blocks insulin resistance and enhances calcium absorption, which also leads to fat burning. Other fats that lead to fat loss include olive oil, flaxseeds, and walnuts. With olive oil the monounsaturated fats help to lower levels of the "bad" cholesterol while improving cardiovascular health and it's also more likely to be burned as fuel than stored in the body. Flaxseeds and walnuts contain the oomega-3 fatty acid alpha linolenic acid, which actually turns on the genes that stimulate fat burning and turn off the genes that increase fat storage. The key with flaxseeds is that they need to be ground up in order for the body to digest and absorb its nutrients, and they must be stored in a cold space otherwise they turn rancid very fast. Next on our list is a particularly wonderful grain that many already include in their daily diet, I'm talking about oatmeal. This very slow digesting complex carb keeps blood sugar and insulin levels low allowing for fat burning to stay high; this is a staple in my diet as it's inexpensive, versatile and easy to prepare. There are so many great and simple recipes out there for oatmeal; sweet, savory, as breakfast, in baking or even as a side dish at lunch. Finally there's chili pepper flakes which contain capsaicin, a chemical that can enhance calories burned at rest, reduce hunger and food intake (this typically works best when paired with caffeine). So go ahead and spice up your meals with this great ingredient; again there are plenty of recipes that use this spice whether for local or international cuisine.
Now that we've covered foods, let's look at beverages starting with coffee. Regular black coffee has no calories, but provides some great health benefits when taken in moderation. Caffeine not only perks you up, it also boosts muscle strength, intensity and fat loss during workouts. This works best when approximately 200mg of caffeine (the equivalent of 1 strong cup of coffee) is consumed at least 25 minutes prior to starting workout, just be sure to never have more than 400 mg of caffeine each day as this can impact your quality of sleep. I usually take a caffeine supplement in the morning before I workout and it really helps; I find that I can push harder during a tough workout without feeling like I'm about to keel over. Another caffeinated beverage is green tea, which has gained quite a bit of popularity in recent years and for good reason. Green tea contains polyphenols including flavonoids and catechins (both powerful antioxidants) which can reduce free radical formation in the body, which ultimately leads to a better protected body from all kinds of illness and toxins. Another strong antioxidant found in green tea is Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) which studies have shown can be used to treat many diseases. Along with its medicinal properties, studies show that green tea increases fat oxidation by 17%, turning your body into a fat burning furnace. As I mentioned though green tea does contain caffeine so limit your intake to no more that 2 cups per day. The last beverage we're going to look at is good old fashion reliable water. This is a no brainer, water keeps you hydrated, jack's up your metabolism, increases blood flow to the muscles, removes toxins from the body and aids in digestion. So do yourself a favor and drink up! For more information and tips, see my previous post "H2O: Are you getting enough?"
Now that we've covered nutrition, let's look at fitness and rest. Fitness-wise the best option for fat loss is cardio, namely High Intensity Interval Training (think spin class), where you do short bursts of intense all out exercise followed by a period of less intense exercise. Just be sure to mix up your workouts each day by adding in weight and strength training on alternating days, and never do HIIT on consecutive days. It's so important to let your body rest, which leads me to my next point which is this: don't overwork yourself. Always keep one day each week for rest where you do not exercise and make sure to get a full night of restful sleep each night (see my previous post "Sleep: Are you getting enough? For more info). If you are not letting your body recover all of your hard work will backfire and you could end up getting sick, compromising your health and injuring yourself while working out.
There are many fat burning supplements available that contain the ingredients and extracts from the foods and beverages listed above, so if you'd rather take one of those instead go for it. Just be sure to consult your healthcare provider to confirm that it's safe for you. I personally prefer to get it straight from the source, plus I find it's way cheaper to buy grapefruit and green tea than pills, but go with whatever you're comfortable with. If your goal is fat loss keep in mind that it will not happen just like that, I've said this before, it takes time to see and feel changes in your body so don't give up. Make this part of your lifestyle and you'll finally drop the extra fat and keep it off for good!

UWEC Theatre Presents: "Urinetown: The Musical"
Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself!
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a goverment-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admissions for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

High (Heel) Maintenance
This is one question I get asked all the time – how do I keep my heels in tip top condition? Well, I lived in Minneapolis and the Midwest for the last 21 years, up until this month (granted I had stints in Florence and Seattle). The salt takes it toll on suede booties, uneven city sidewalks dirty your favorite footwear and natural wear and tear can do quite a number on your pumps.
Over the years of being a heel-lover, I've found some tips, tricks and products to extend the life of your shoes. I've narrowed it down to five basic steps for before, during and after you put on your pumps to keep them looking to as close to new as possible.
1. Protect
Prior to wearing your new pumps, always coat leather or suede with a protectant spray (I use this one.) It will help shield your shoes from the elements (um, rain in Seattle). Because let's be honest, Mother Nature seems to have against something women in fabulous heels.
2. Block
You know the phrase that "I will bleed for fashion,: well I actually have. Some heels more than others, can really rub and cut into the back of your heels, leaving a painful aftermath after a night (or day) of glamour. I use Blister Blocker Balm when I'm breaking in shoes or have an extra pretty pair (which typically means pain-inducing) to prevent the whole ordeal.
3. Buff
If you're a lover of leather, then you are subjected to dull and lifeless fabric over time. Leather bags and shoes loose luster and a simple buffer, like this one, can bring it back to it's beautiful life. I like this one because their isn't a specific color associated with the buff.
4. Freshen
After a night out can become a nightmare of smell in the morning. Socks and heels don't exactly mix and the result is similar to a football team's locker room (but in form of Jimmy Choo's). I tried everything from dryer sheets to perfume (oh please don't use perfume) and found refuge from repulsive shoe stink in this bottle.
5. Store
Where and how you store your shoes can make a world of a difference in how they wear. Please don't stack, cram or shove your shoes. Display them if they are pretty, find a shoe rack (but not a shoe pile). I was guilty once upon a time.
As always, thank you for reading.

Selected Poems of C. N. BialikBy: David Aberbach (author)Hardback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionMore than 60 years after his death, Chaim Nachman Bialik is inevitably called the finest and most influential modern Hebrew poet. More than 60 years after his death, Chaim Nachman Bialik is inevitably called the finest and most influential modern Hebrew poet. In his lifetime, Bialik was hailed as the poet laureate of Jewish nationalism. He was seen as the poet of hope and revival in an age which witnessed the Russian Pale of Settlement, pogroms, the Russian Revolution, the rise of Zionism and of Hebrew as a living language. David Aberbach, the distinguished Hebrew scholar, has produced translations of a high order to stand beside the author's original Hebrew. The selection includes an extract from 'In the City of Slaughter' - the poem that made Bialik famous when it appeared in 1903 as one of a series of 'poems of wrath' - as well as a number of his folk poems which have frequently been set to music. Selected Poems is a collection of Bialik's poetry in dramatic new English translations, published alongside the original Hebrew. Of twentieth century Jewish poets, Bialik is the most influential, culturally and politically...He is the only Hebrew poet who warrants comparison with the great Romantics - with Pushkin, Schiller, and Wordsworth. - who more than the Modernists, his contemporaries, represented to him (as to most of the Russian and Jewish intelligentsia of his time) the ideal of high culture and poetic genius.

Cyber-Course Options
PCS works with online course providers like Edhesive and Educere to offer a number of cyber classes to High School students on an as needed basis or as an additional class taken in conjunction with our core curriculum. Full-time students continue to attend their regularly scheduled classes while they attend cyber classes in the cyber lab classroom or on their own time at home.
The purpose of this program is to offer remedial classes, provide alternatives to schedule conflicts, or to expand a student's course work through a broad selection of subjects. At any time, a student may choose to take a cyber course to advance their knowledge in a particular subject. This course will act as an elective course, but not act as a substitute for a required course (unless approved by the department chair and guidance department). Overall, these classes are fun, challenging and mind expanding – at the same time, students remain part of the supportive and encouraging PCS family.
For more information, contact Bob Brennan, School Counselor. Be sure to have your cyber class approved by the School Counselor before enrolling. If supervision is needed for this course, an additional fee would be incurred.

The paradox of choice theory has been heavily questioned and referred to as pseudoscience by economists and psychologists that are pro-choice. Pro-choice argues that adding options generally doesn't make a difference either way, and that it should rather be viewed as "pareto improvement", i.e. that the extra options create a better situation for those that want them, but it doesn't make the situation worse for the people that don't, since all they have to do is to ignore them.Read more here: http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20140821005053-37197151-new-tlds-and-the-paradox-of-choice.

TORRANCE, Calif. — OrbitalPay today announced the addition of Lee Bond to its e-commerce sales team.
The company said it was time for it to proactively revamp, refocus, refresh, and create a robust sales team.
"I love this industry and the people who make it what it is and as I assessed where I was and how I wanted to flourish, I knew I wanted to align myself with yet another solid company," Bond said.
He added, "Working with OrbitalPay is a major opportunity and I am excited to be learning the ins and outs of another very important sector of the business."
OrbitalPay's recently appointed vice president Jordan Stewart also expressed his excitement over the new hire.
"Having watched Lee work from a distance over the last year or so, I am confident that he will be a huge success at OrbitalPay and help us reach the goals and objectives that we have in place. In Lee we have picked up an extremely social and outgoing guy who is also incredibly smart, the amount of knowledge, skills, and friends he has accumulated in a relatively short amount of time is quite remarkable," Stewart said.
He added, "When I was given the opportunity to build a new and improved OrbitalPay I wanted obvious attributes like dedication and industry experience, which Lee has, but I knew it was equally important to find people as excited to be a part of this journey as we are and we definitely have that in Lee, I am thrilled to have him on our team."

Alan and JoAnn Adams
cattle • alfalfa • corn • soybeans
Sandwich, IL
Some things don't change
When we started farming cattle more than 60 years ago, it was to use land that was too rough or fragile to grow crops on. Cattle have always provided us a way to use our farm's resources to the best ability. Our management and breeding practices have evolved since we started, but we have always had a focus on using scientifically backed information to make sustainable decisions. One thing that has stayed the same is our commitment to raising cattle that provide safe, nutritious, wholesome beef products to consumers. This is only achieved by providing humane treatment to every animal and using production practices that conserve and enhance our soil and water resources.
Futuristic barns
What do you call a barn that looks like it has half a roof? A monoslope. While this futuristic architectural structure may seem unconventional for a cattle barn, it incorporates everything currently available to enhance a cow's comfort:
- The barn structure allows for maximum sun penetration in the winter, while providing a cool area protected from the sun in the summer.
- The roof design promotes air flow through the barn during hot weather, keeping cattle cool, comfortable and healthy.
Our resources
We grow corn, soybeans and alfalfa, raise a 59-head cow herd on the farm's pastures and operate a feedlot that feeds about 1,800 cows each year. Our farm is able to use byproducts from ethanol plants, sweet corn plants, and sugar refineries as feed sources for our cows. In turn, our cows contribute to sustainability efforts by providing manure that is used as fertilizer on our fields. Sustainability is not just a buzzword, if I can minimize someone else's waste by using it as a resource on my farm, then everybody benefits.
Family farm
Established in the 1840s, our farm has been home to our family for seven generations. My wife, JoAnn, and I run the farm alongside our son, Ross, and his family. Being a family farm is unique because we get to work with the people we love. Even though our whole family is not involved in the day-to-day operation of the farm, our two other sons, Jeremiah and Matthew, understand our passion. They have taught their children about growing up on the farm, and they understand that farming is a not just a livelihood, but a way of life.
About my familyWe farm with our son Ross near Sandwich, Illinois, about 60 miles southwest of Chicago. Ross and his wife, Jessie, have two daughters, who are the seventh generation to live on the farm.
We also have two other sons: Jeremiah and Matthew. Jeremiah is an attorney whose wife, Megan, teaches at a local school. They have one son named Graham. Matthew is a teacher in Wisconsin and his wife, Wendi, works for the Wisconsin State Crime Lab.They have three boys: Gideon, Cyrus and Asher.
For us, growing up in agriculture and the beef industry is not only our livelihood or income, but also a way of life.

text: My wife has a nice new (sort of) MacBook. Everything about it is great, except the wireless (and the casing which I had to have replaced). The problem with the WiFi is this: the signal is constantly lost. I can sit on the couch next to her using my iBook G3 and there is not even a blip, but her signal will go from 100% to 0% to 50% and then back again. This is the only computer in the house with this problem. As I said early, my G3 works fine as does my G4 eMac. Both the eMac and MacBook are running Tiger and all the wireless settings are identical. I recently switched from a WRT54G to the Airport Express because the Linksys died, but I haven't noticed any change during the course of that time. As a matter of trying to figure things out, I did switch the broadcast channel from 6 to Automatic, but it hasn't been long enough to tell if that has made any difference. Has anyone else had this sort of problem? I would think it was an interference problem if any of the other computers were having issues, but they are all happy. Thoughts?

Joan Mullaney has created a dark, disturbing portrait of an aging, devious mother in a power struggle with her middle-aged daughter in "The Beauty Queen of Leenane." The Tony Award-winning play is being presented by an emerging Las Vegas theater organization, A Public Fit, in The Usual Place theater in downtown Las Vegas Feb. 24-March 5.
Set in a small country village in Ireland in the 1990s, a 40-year-old virgin (and caregiver) engages with her 70-year-old mother in a relationship built on co-dependence, fear, deviousness and deception. The play explores the layers of misguided attempts to protect and love while clinging to neediness and self-indulgence.
It is her training that has transformed Mullaney from a confident woman to the decrepit, scared character witnessed on stage. When she was 60, Mullaney decided to pursue and obtain a master's degree in theater arts at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. At the time, UNLV was putting on four productions, each with a character of an older woman. With perfect timing and synchronicity, Mullaney was accepted into the program. After graduating in 2007, Mullaney planned to either return to New York City or move to Southern California. With the economic downturn, Mullaney felt she was stuck in Las Vegas and her mindset at the time was to try to make the best of it.
"My attitude is now turned 180 degrees for me now [in 2017] from being stuck to finding great opportunities here," she told AXS.com. Mullaney teaches as well continues to be involved with local Las Vegas theater.
"The Beauty Queen of Leenane" will be the fifth play Mullaney has performed in for A Public Fit theater company. "I love working with [artistic director and co-founder] Ann Marie [Pereth]. It is all working out here in Las Vegas for me."
Mullaney started in acting as a child and was involved with the New York Metropolitan Opera as a babysitter for other children. "To walk into the Met and hear these glorious voices was amazing." While her life took her into a different direction including raising a family, Mullaney always pursued acting, even with very small roles in a limited basis.
"The Beauty Queen of Leenane" premiered in 1996 in Ireland with a run in the West End and off-Broadway before debuting on Broadway. It would win four Tony Awards in 1998 including Best Actor (Tom Murphy), Best Actress (Marie Mullen), Best Supporting Actress (Anna Manahan) and Best Director (Garry Hynes) with Hynes becoming the first female to win Tony Award for directing a play. Mullaney actually attended a performance on Broadway of "The Beauty Queen of Leenane" not realizing she would portray one of the characters almost 20 years later.
"I knew that woman. She was the mother of a friend of mine. She had charm and wit but was so manipulative. It so resonated with me. I am also thrilled to act in a play with two strong women and interact with that character."
In the play, as tensions build in the private war between the two women, two men become part of the story a passion explodes in unexpected climax. The play also stars Mindy Woodhead, Mike Rasmussen and Darren Weller.
"The Beauty Queen of Leenane" by Martin McDonagh and directed by Ann-Marie Pereth will be performed at The Usual Place, 100 S. Maryland Parkway from Feb. 24-March 5. Performances are 8 p.m. with 2 p.m. matinees on the weekend. Immediately following the performance, The Buzzz is held as a moderated discussion about the play. To purchase tickets, click here.

Hey - Anyone have a fix for battery not charging? New battery last year. Rode it all day with no issue. Sat for five days. Battery completely dead, no lights on dash, tested at 2.5 volts. Charged on trickle overnight, full charge. Rode all day with breaks. Went to start to head back home and nothing. Dash did light this time.
I can probably fix if it's just replacing a part with pics and instruction. Hoping to not have to bring it somewhere.
Thanks Ben

What's wrong with giving a statement to the police?
If I didn't do anything wrong, what's the harm in giving a statement to the police? Even if somebody doesn't want to press charges against you after an incident, giving a statement to the police isn't a good idea. Why?
Several things…
First, it's not up to any individual to "press charges" – that is up to the prosecuting agency in the jurisdiction. The case can be forwarded to the DA for review even if the alleged victim doesn't want to "press charges". If the police are investigating, assume it will be sent to the DA for review and the possibility of charges being filed.
Next – even a misdemeanor conviction some harsh consequences. If convicted, there is potential jail time, probation, a conviction on your record indefinitely and other consequences depending on the charges. Some misdemeanors carry a 10 year ban on firearm possession, restraining orders, mandatory counseling, etc.
Aren't the police just trying to get my side of things?
Here's one fairly absolute rule: Do NOT talk to the police. They're not trying to "get your side of things" or clear you. For example, if you got in a fight and claim that you hit somebody in self-defense, that's a legal defense, but it won't stop you from being investigated, arrested or charged. The police aren't trying to help you by making a determination of self defense or not. They're trying to get an incriminating statement from you – plain and simple.
So if you're innocent, why not just tell them your side of things? Many reasons. What if you say the wrong thing? What if they mis-hear what you say? What if you're misquoted? Once they put it in the police report, unless it's recorded, everybody will assume what's in the report is true and accurate.
What if your statement contradicts what a witness says? Let's suppose the witness gave a statement to the police, but their interpretation was wrong, they didn't see the whole thing or they got the facts wrong? Then, if your statement doesn't match, they will assume YOU are being dishonest – after all, why would the independent witness lie about what they saw? See where I'm going with this?
Here's a link to another blog post I wrote with a video about why you shouldn't call a detective back.
It's time for a lawyer.
You're concerned enough to be searching on the internet for information. Probably well-taken concern. I'd suggest you sit down face to face with a good local criminal defense attorney to discuss things in greater detail. In the mean time, don't make ANY statements to ANYONE about this. No Facebook, Twitter, emails, texts or calls. Assume everything you say is going straight back to the police and will come back to haunt you.

KRK decides to troll Mohanlal, faces wrath of Malayalis
Don't angry Malayalis! Well, it may sound a bit filmy. But we all are aware of the wrath as well as the wit of Malayalis on social media. From Narendra Modi (for comparison between Kerala and Somalia) to United States President Donald Trump (for criticising Fidel Castro), everyone has tasted it. A recent name to be updated in the list is KRK, yes! no one's favourite Kamaal R Khan.
The actor-turned critic is popular, of course in a wrong way, for criticising celebrities on social media. But he was in for a surprise when on Wednesday his Twitter handle was filled with comments (abuses) in a language he is unable to read i.e. Malayali. Well the reason behind this troll is his tweet about actor Mohanlal. Apparently in the Rs 1,000 crore film Randamoozham (Mahabharata), Mohanlal has been cast to play Bhima. And this didn't go well with KRK. So he tweeted, "Sir @Mohanlal you look like Chota Bheem so then how will u play role of Bheem in Mahabharata? Why do you want to waste money of B R Shetty?"
Sir @Mohanlal you look like Chota Bheem so then how will u play role of Bheem in Mahabharata? Why do you want to waste money of B R shetty?
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) April 18, 2017
People pls see this Chota Bheem. It will be a biggest insult of Bheem if this joker plays role of greatest Bheem. pic.twitter.com/9MhsEXMVq2
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) April 19, 2017
KRK tried to act smart by pretending that he is not affected by the abuses and further mocked the star by saying that he looked like a joker in few movies of Ram Gopal Verma.
Sir @Mohanlal I have seen you in few films of @RGVzoomin n this is why I know you, n believe me u were looking like a joker in those films.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) April 19, 2017
Can't understand why Malayali ppl r abusing me since morning? M I wrong abut Mohanlal who is not equal 2Hathiyar of Bheem n wants 2play him?
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) April 19, 2017
After all the trolling, KRK posts another tweets in which he calls Mohanlal old-fashioned for using Facebook and his fans mawalis, uneducated and old-thinking people.
Mohanlal is using Facebook n it's proof how old fashioned he is n of course his fans are lukkhas, Mawalis, uneducated who also use Facebook.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) April 20, 2017
Modern, intelligent and educated ppl use @twitter while Mawalis, uneducated and old thinking ppl like Mohanlal still use Facebook only.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) April 20, 2017
Well, we all are aware of the fact that in the past Mohanlal's fans have hacked website of Pakistan Electric Power Company, National University of Modern Languages, Lahore Campus (NUML) and Pakistan's People's Party after they came to know about the actor's website called 'The Complete Actor' got hacked by Pakistanis. The fans went a step ahead by replacing Mohanlal's picture in all the website's homepage. Also, the homepage of NUML's website read, "Feel the power of Indian mad hunter, don't dare to mess with us, otherwise Kashmir toh hoga lekin Pakistan nhi hoga."
Mallu Cyber Soldiers today hacked KRK's social media accounts and e-mail address. The group in a Facebook post said that after few hours of efforts they are successful in accessing KRK's Twitter and Facebook recover e-mail and also informed KRK about his accounts being compromised. But after getting no revert from him the group has decided to attack his main income source 'adsense'. They further writes, "Mr KRK forget your ad earnings, we are now going to shut down your Google ad revenue account."

Research reveals that environments can increase or reduce our stress, which in turn impacts our bodies. What you are seeing, hearing or experiencing at any moment is changing not only your mood, but how your nervous, endocrine, and immune systems are working.

"Nature deprivation," a lack of time in the natural world, largely due to hours spent in front of TV or computer screens, has been associated, unsurprisingly, with depression. More unexpected are studies by Weinstein and others that associate screen time with loss of empathy and lack of altruism.
Scientific studies have shown that exposure to nature can both increase self-control and also improve our evaluations of the future. But with much of the world's population now living in urban environments, access to natural environments is out of reach for many.
Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical well-being, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. It may even reduce mortality.
Nature restores mental functioning in the same way that food and water restore bodies. The business of everyday life -- dodging traffic, making decisions and judgement calls, interacting with strangers -- is depleting, and what man-made environments take away from us, nature gives back.
Natural environments promote calmness and well-being in part because they expose people to low levels of stress. These stressful experiences are tame in comparison with the trials and tribulations that most of us associate with stress -- workplace drama, traffic jams, and wailing children on international plane trips. Humans thrive with some stimulation, but we're incapable of coping with extreme stressors, which push us from the comfortable realm of eustress (good stress) to the danger zone of distress (bad stress).
But not all is hopeless! Get out of your apartment or house as often as you can and visit parks and nature reserves, the beach or your local Botanical Gardens. Nature is sometimes only as far as a short walk or short drive.
Take your dog for a walk, even if it's just down the road you live in. If you're close to the beach, make the effort, your dog will love you for it!
Hug a tree, your dog always does! and
talk to any plants you may pass (albeit softly, or passers-by might think you're a bit looney!) and pick some flowers or a stalk of grass, feel the texture, inhale its aroma.
Take note of the birds and the bees - there's a whole community of small life going on around you! Take your camera with you when you go walking and capture some special moments.
Start a collection of 'natural' items - stones, pebbles, rocks, crystals, pieces of bark, shells. Touch them often and feel the energy revitalise you.
Surround yourself with nature inside your home - pick or buy fresh flowers and have them in every room
Get out into the garden more. If you do not have the space for a garden, buy a pot plant or two and keep them in the room where you spend most of your time. Seeing them often will remind you to tend to them and reconnect with nature.
Take up a hobby that gets you outdoors as much as possible - maybe a garden club or bird watching. Not only will it help you to reconnect with nature, but you'll also be meeting some great like-minded people!
There are many more ways for you to reconnect with nature, but my favourite is taking off my shoes and socks and sinking my bare feet into the grass or soft ground. One of my favourite quotes from Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us to slow down and notice nature, "Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet."
The next time you walk out your front door, feel your feet connecting with the earth, step by step.

Ding Ding! (Let the fight begin). Attorney General, Elliot Spitzer believes that Pataki is trying to pull a fast one with his proposed tax credit for underperforming school districts.Spizer believes that some of these credits will be used for private schools and is really a disguized voucher program ( oh no!).
"I think there will be serious constitutional issues if they are used for parochial schools," said Spitzer, the only announced Democratic candidate for governor.
The fight begins:
"Eliot Spitzer doesn't seem to have any problem with wealthy people being able to have school choice," Faso said. "It's constitutional because the credit doesn't go to the school ... I think that tax credits have been upheld and are constitutional in other states.
Could it be that Elliot Spitzer is show boating for some free press?

ATA Sydney Central branch meeting - What makes a sustainable home?August 14, 2017 at 6:30 pm
When: Monday 14 August 2017, 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start.
Where: Interface head office and showroom, 101 Chalmers St, Surry Hills (click here for a map).
Presenter: Tracy Graham is the director of Connected Design, consulting for individuals and organisations who want buildings that work well, feel good and reduce their ecological footprint. Tracy enjoys bringing together client, design process, engineering and builder to deliver beautiful, comfortable and efficient results. Tracy was honoured with the National Building Designers Australia Award in 2015 for the Green Living Centre in Newtown and Commended for the Marrickville Hempcrete House in 2016.
What Makes a Sustainable Home?
The Marrickville Hempcrete house is an exciting project that shows how acoustic requirements for aircraft noise can be met without compromising on thermal performance and aesthetics. The Design challenge was to create a better living space for a family of four without increasing the site coverage. The existing footprint has not been increased on the ground floor but reconfigured to improve circulation, usability and connection to the backyard. A mere 35 square meters has been added on the first floor. The result is a generous house that provides three bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms, laundry, generous kitchen dining area and outdoor space on a 197.5sqm site. This is a renovation that incorporates basic passive design principles combined for clients who weren't afraid to be bold with new materials, texture and colour.
The talk will cover the journey on finding the best design solution when renovating a semi-detached house, including overcoming challenges with a first floor addition with a shared party wall and acoustic requirements. It will also discuss why the decision was made to use Hempcrete in the project and the importance of a dedicated group of consultants, suppliers and an ambitious builder working collaboratively throughout the process.
Members and non-members are asked to register by selecting the event and clicking 'REGISTER' at: atasydney.eventbrite.com.au
Directions and further details:
Please arrive at 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start.
The Interface head office and showroom is located within the heritage-listed 101 Chalmers Street building in Sydney. Access from Central Station involves turning right as you leave the Devonshire St exit, and then a short walk with a second, almost immediate right - if you get to to Prince Alfred Park you have gone too far!
Look for a two-storey red brick and sandstone building that adjoins a single-storey library, known as the 'Railway Institute Building'. Entrance is at the rear of this building that has been faithfully restored and redesigned with stunning interiors, turning it into a showcase of environmental sustainability. Due to our proximity to Central Station, we encourage attendees to catch public transport to this event as nearby parking is limited.
Tea, coffee and tasty snacks are available before and after the talk, with donations gratefully accepted.
The ATA is an independent organisation that does not endorse products and seeks to provide members with information so that they can make well-informed sustainable decisions.

This course will be taught by Alissa MacMillan in English. Walter Van Herck is only involved as a go-between between instructor and students / instructor and administration. He can be contacted by students.
None different from the general prerequisites required for entering MA in Philosophy.
The course will be closely connected to the ongoing research project of Alissa MacMillan. This research project examines the shifting relationship between curiosity and religion and argues for curiosity's centrality in new 'naturalized' accounts of religion in the early modern period (1500- 1800). At once seen as a natural human propensity, central to scientific knowledge, and a sin by some theological thinkers, British philosopher Thomas Hobbes puts curiosity to new and transformative use, making it the foundation of his explanation of religion and, in doing so, providing the resources for a naturalized account of religion, or an account that appeals to psychological, cognitive, and social features of the human being. Religion begins to be seen as a human social practice like any other, not an exceptional, supernatural phenomenon. The project uses Hobbes as an anchoring figure and then turns to David Hume and others in the period, including Spinoza and Malebranche, and focuses primarily on curiosity and related concepts like anxiety and wonder. The project analyzes the shifting relationship between new understandings of curiosity and religion in the period and seeks to use these insights to take on questions encountered today, for example, questions about whether and how religion might be part of our humanness, how and why religion persists as it does, and, in light of changing perspectives on curiosity, how to make better sense of the relationship between religious and scientific knowledge.
