College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) (BC): Elizabeth Elliot, Jane Winder.
ePortfolios as a method of scaling-up integrated quality assurance
Quality assurance is an evidence-based process that is known to improve patient safety and health outcomes by ensuring the application of standards and promoting high quality patient care. In B.C., the College of Registered Nurses has a legislated requirement to implement Quality Assurance to ensure that the 37,000 nurses in our province provide safe, competent and ethical care. Recent research with nurses in B.C. demonstrates that CRNBC needs to focus on implementing value-added supports for registrants so that they can readily achieve their quality assurance and professional development requirements. Using ePortfolios is an emerging trend with substantial promise as a method for helping nurses to plan, implement, assess, and evaluate their quality assurance activities. Building on the successes of our nurse-practitioner quality assurance program and leveraging our current client-records management (CRM) system, CRNBC will design, test, implement, and evaluate an ePortfolio system for nurses in B.C. One of the successes of the nurse-practitioner quality assurance program is the emphasis that CRNBC places on working collaboratively with nurse-practitioners in implementing quality assurance. This draws on our Relational Regulation approach and we see this project as an important opportunity to work with nurses to create a systems level method that helps nurses to understand the links between practice, quality assurance, quality improvement, and high quality, safe patient care and improved health outcomes.

Since he was a babe in his mother's arms, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been exposed to the virtues of train travel. That's thanks to his father, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who had a genuine affection and respect for passenger trains. He travelled ...Read More »

|Home-fried potatoes a la Frank Simpson.
By popular demand (okay, one person asked!), here is my dad's recipe for home-fried potatoes. It was never written down anywhere, and I have only successfully replicated it after many, many years of mediocre homefries.
These are perfect on a Saturday morning when you have lots of time.
Start with potatoes that have been boiled and then refrigerated for at least 12 hours. The starches in the potato change after cooking and cooling, and the potato will be denser. If the skins are falling off, remove them. Otherwise, leave them on.
Slice the potatoes into disks approximately 1/2 inch thick. If they are not quite dry, place them on a paper towel to remove surface moisture. (Moisture will prevent the browning that makes them so perfect.)
Melt 2 tablespoons butter (Dad used margarine, but I prefer the taste of butter) over low heat in a heavy skillet. Place sliced potatoes in the melted butter. Make yourself a cup of coffee. Yell to get the teenagers out of bed.
Be patient.
After five or so minutes, flip the potatoes. If they do not flip easily, they are not ready.
Add butter as needed. Do NOT raise the heat.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve with ketchup.
(While the potatoes are turning golden, cook your bacon in the oven.)
Note: my dad died of heart disease. This recipe and others like it should not be consumed on a frequent basis. ;)

My only problem is that my nails seem really thin and weak, they always break on the sides and sometimes even start to spil like two overlapping nails meeting only in the middle. does this happen to anyone or does anyone have any suggestions to make my nails stronger?

Microsoft Corp released its biggest ever software patch yesterday to fix a number of security issues in its programs, including its yet to be released Windows 7 operating system.
The patch, comprising 13 security bulletins, which Microsoft sent to users of its software in its monthly update addresses 34 vulnerabilities across its Windows, Internet Explorer, Silverlight, Office and other products.
The company said six of the bulletins were high priority and needed to be deployed immediately. The bulletins that update software to write over glitches served to protect users from hackers and malicious software inadvertently downloaded over the internet.
Eight of the bulletins have been given a security rating of 'critical', Microsoft's highest alert while the remaining carry an 'important' risk level.
The eight critical bulletins cover fixes for components in Server Message Block, Windows Media Player and Runtime as also software for Internet Explorer, Active Template Library, .NET and GDI Library. All eight bulletins address flaws which could allow remote execution of codes by a hacker on a targeted system.
The bulletins marked important include two fixes for remote code execution flaws as well as a pair of patches for denial of service vulnerabilities, a spoofing flaw and an elevation of privilege vulnerability.
The company said that the update will also include a re-issue for a previously-fixed flaw in the XML Core Services component of Windows. The re-issue would extend the coverage of the bulletin.

text: Hello everyone, for the las five years, I was trying to make a living by playing poker online. But I found that I?m not getting enough from it, both financially and personally. I think the main reason for that is ? I didn?t have passion for it. I want to do something that interests me and creates value for others and also gives me financial freedom. That?s how I became interested in internet marketing as I started to see great potential in it. One of my hobbies is cycling which led me and my friend to create WordPress blog about cycling. My goal is to learn some IM stuff and improve my English while writing our blog. What do you guys think about learning IM that way? Maybe someone has worked in cycling niche and has some advice?

Yesterday, hubby dropped me off at Wynneth and Tom's and, collecting Tom, headed off to do some chores whilst Wynneth and I took their car and headed off to Lakeland for the day. Our first port of call was Violettes where Wynneth shopped for England (that's my girl).
Then it was to the Lakeland Mall where I bought a dress and shrug for next week's cruise.
Onwards and northwards to Michaels and then Joann's. By this point my craft shopping gene kicked in and I made my first craft spend of the day in Joann's ...... $4 on four of their dollar stamps!! Yee Haa!
Having had the Silver Streak (aka Wynneth) "in da house" so to speak, has encouraged me to get inky a lot more this last day or so and I thought I would love to share some of my creations with you, using stamps old and new. The first piece, an ATC, uses one of my newest images - acquired just days ago on the foray to Sparkle n' Sprinkle .......

It is summer here in Dubai, I'm not complaining about the weather because I prefer Summer to winter. The humidity makes you a little more sticky wicky here but that's nothing a shower or two can't resolve. I have been taking Omar to the pool, he loves it and I've been taking a dip in the water myself too in my Ian Thorpe inspired suit aka Alien swimwear. Fashion aside :D, we've been having a splashing good time in the pool and making some new friends Alhamdullilah.
Here's Mr Baywatch in action, don't ask me how he got hold of the life bouy, here's where I insert, That's Dubai for you !

This place is nice but damn it can get crowded. As you can see the carts behind me are already closed. I prefer to visit later in the evening. The parking garage sucks you seem to go in a circle forever until you find a place to turn out to find a space. If you get a validation and leave under 4 hours...it's $2 bucks! If you get to the exit at 4 hours and one minute, the fee is $38.25! If you are over 5 hours, it's $837.55! God forbid you lose your ticket, if you do, you have to give the parking management your car and ride the bus home! Jorge Bueno

11-11-11 is Nigel Tufnel Day!
Because his amps don't just go to 10. He cranks them to 11!
In case you don't remember the scene from Spinal Tap, here it is:
So to celebrate Nigel Tufnel day, do what you do today with a little more zest and a little more zeal than you normally would. Crank it up to 11!
PS: Is Nigel looking kinda familiar to you, but you don't know why because you've never seen Spinal Tap?
Perhaps it's because Christopher Guest is also the six-fingered man from The Princess Bride.

You asked for it so here goes.
Sean and I met sometime in the fall of 1997. I had a room mate whom I hated didn't love and I was good friends with his room mate. So I spent a lot of time in his apartment. I have no memory of meeting him, our eyes did not meet across a crowded room, angels did not sing, in fact, for a long time he was just Micah's big grumpy room mate. (And now he's my big grumpy room mate. But I'm getting ahead of myself.)
And then we started to hang out. As in all of us. We went to movies, we went to eat, we rented movies and watched them at their apartment. And that was fine, he was a nice guy, no big deal.
And then one day Micah told me that I was going to have to start dating Sean. (Apparently, Sean and Micah had had a conversation or two about me.) I laughed. As in that's ridiculous. He wasn't my type, he was a BYU boy, he had short hair for the love of Pete, I'd never dated a guy anything like him. Or so I thought.
But the idea stuck. And every time I saw him after that the idea was more and more interesting.
Then one night while we were watching a movie at their apartment Micah got tired, too tired to stay up and watch with us. (I have no information as to whether Micah was actually tired or trying to help us out.) So he went to bed and we stayed up. On the couch. Watching the Shawshank Redemption (talk about a romantic movie, woohoo!). And by the end of the movie we were holding hands. And when he drove me home, I kissed him good night.
Why? I have no idea. I had no idea by the time I made it into my apartment.
Luckily, Sean (and Micah) spent the next few days in Vernal (with Sean's family) so I didn't have to see him and deal with what I had done.
Unluckily, (or maybe still luckily, depending on your point of view) the room mate with whom I did not see eye to eye and I got into a huge HUGE fight that weekend (at one point I may have tried to hit her with a mop) and I had nowhere to go.
And then they came home! And so, all embarrassment over the kiss forgotten, I headed to their apartment. And I confessed what I had done to my room mate and he laughed and from then on we were just… together.
I started stopping by his apartment on the way in to work. And in between classes and …
It was about a week after the first kiss that we were kissing talking when I pulled away and said "yep" and he said "what?" and I said "I'm going to have to marry you." (see, it's not that kind of "have to marry you") and he said "ok". So we were engaged.
The next time we went out, a drive to Salt Lake and back for bread from his uncle's bakery (Why, I have no idea because he was working at the Great Harvest in Provo at the time and while their bread is not as good, the difference is hardly worth an hour and a half drive.) among other things that I can't remember, I told him that since we were going to get married I was going to have to hear his life story so on the way to Salt Lake from Provo and back, he told me his life story. (When I told his sisters that they immediately said, " and you still wanted to marry him?" Well, obviously, I did.) And then for the next five minutes I told him mine. Needless to say (but I'm going to anyway) his was far more interesting. And I found out that he was not a BYU boy (and, incidentally, the hair which was cut once a month the entire time I had known him, after the wedding didn't get cut again for another three years. Sigh.) in short he was a lot like both of the boys I had dated seriously and he was exactly my type.
We decided to get married sometime in January (I really don't remember when it was) and we told our families on Valentine's day (actually, it was the day after) and we got married August 6, 1998.
The End.

Here's a new recipe I tried last week. I found this on Pinterest under freezer meals. It makes 2 meals - one to eat and one to freeze. It was delicious!
For more recipes, visit Sandra at Diary of a SAHM.
Baked Cheesy Chicken Penne
6 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper
16 ounces penne pasta
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic
6 cups whole milk
8 ounces thinly sliced mushrooms
1 cup sliced, oil-packed, sun dried tomatoes, drained
2 cups provolone/mozzarella mix (I used Sargentos)
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan
- Preheat oven to 400. Butter two shallow 2-quart baking dishes. If you're going to freeze one, use a disposable foil pan. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 3 minutes short of al dente; drain pasta and set aside.
- While pasta is boiling, heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Halve each piece lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. While chicken pan is still hot, toss the mushrooms in and saute until golden brown (3-4 minutes). Use a little extra olive oil if needed.
- In a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot (I just use the pot I cooked my pasta in), melt butter over medium. Add flour and garlic; cook, whisking, 1 minute. While whisking constantly, gradually add milk; bring to a simmer. Keep whisking frequently as sauce thickens, about 1 minute more. Add mushrooms and tomatoes; cook 1 minute. take the pan off the heat and and gradually stir in provolone and 1/2 cup Parmesan.
- Add chicken and pasta to pot; season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide pasta mixture between baking dishes. If freezing, place remaining parmesan cheese in a zip-top baggie. If cooking, sprinkle on top.
- Bake, uncovered, until top is golden and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
To freeze, prepare through step 4 and then let pasta cool. Cover pan well with plastic wrap. Place extra cheese in baggie (for topping) on top and then cover entire pan well with foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. To bake, preheat oven to 400. Remove foil and plastic from pan and set cheese baggie aside. Place foil back on pan and bake for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove foil, stir pasta, and top with cheese. Return pan to oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until mixture is hot and bubbly throughout.

This is so great! I can update my website without evening going to Tripod now!
So yeah I've made a remix contest for the "Here's an Egg" song. Download the samples here. The only basic rule is that your remix must include a provided sample from "Here's an Egg." There is no limit to how many remixes you may submit, and you must submit your remix to firstname.lastname@example.com . There is no set due date but don't let that stop you from being hasty. Prize(s) for best submissions are tbd but will rock. Remixes will be judged on creativity, use of samples, musicality, and originality. Each sample is split from the actual song, so there may be empty spaces where that particular instrument is not playing. Maybe you want to make a sweet four-on-the-floor dance version, or maybe your band wants to create a heavy rock version. Or maybe you just want to use it as an excuse to make fun of me. I really don't care. Just make sure to have fun with it :D

You know what? I'm too negative. Yes, this is a terrible novel that never should have been published and owes its success exclusively to the fact that the cover bears the name of a famous ideologue. But it's not all awful. There are little moments here and there, and one of them closes out the chapter.
This one takes place at the "community's Authority building," so I was wrong - there's actually a third location we visit, albeit for this one scene and never again.
The Central Authority building had a smell like moss, old shoes, and wet grass. The light was dim and the workers looked pale and dull.
That's a decent description, getting a lot of information in without laying it on too thick. The smell makes sense to me - a lot of buildings in China have that aroma (though not government buildings so much, which are more antiseptic).
|Dirty, melting snow doesn't help.
And then we get this little moment with the file clerk:
She leaned forward across the counter that separated us and whispered, "I am so sorry for your loss."
I felt a rush of love for this stranger. She touched my hand, then quickly pulled away. A warmth lingered where she hade made contact.
The clerk didn't really do anything here, but that's the point. A person starved of interpersonal contact may exaggerate any tiny gesture offered to her. The perfunctory expressions of sympathy that inspire an eye roll from most of us register as far grander acts in the mind of a lonely soul.
You see that, Ms. Parke? That's subtlety. That's what happens when you hint at something without clobbering the reader over the head with it.
Only time will tell if this was a fluke or if she genuinely learned a lesson. (Future me: Fluke, definitely)

At this time of the year there are always programs recapping the last year on tv, so I figured it is time for me to do so as well.
My goals for this year were:
1) pass the bar exam
2) attain at least a 50% ROI playing poker
3) make $100 k playing poker, and
4) get back in shape.
I accomplished 1 and 2 and although I didn't make 100k I made enough so that with our combined income we lived perfectly comfortably. I am still woefully out of shape so of the four goals that is the one I failed most miserably.
I also became an instructor for pokerpwnage.com which was unexpected but has gone really well so far. So all in all, I feel like I had a really good year.
My goals for next year are going to be pretty similar to last years':
1) I want to maintain an ROI of at least 50%
2) I want to profit 100 k playing poker
3) I want to play at least 2500 tourneys (doubling my volume this year - and basically guaranteeing a 100k year if I can get close to a 50% ROI)
4) I want to continue garnering more exposure in the pokerworld which will hopefully lead to more moneymaking opportunities (sponsorships, writing deals, etc.), and
5) I want to get back in shape.
I am also seriously considering taking on a student or two as a sort of "protege" and will coach them in return for a percentage of their winnings. The only thing keeping me back from announcing this at this point is that I want to really concentrate on getting my volume in first - once I feel that I have that under control and have time for coaching I will do so.
The rest of this year will consist of playing when I can but there is going to be a lot of non-playing time too with all of the visits and visitors we have planned.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of add-on Yang-Xue-Qing-Nao granules (YXQN) on sleep dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
PD participants fitted with an actigraph took either YXQN or placebo granules in a randomized manner for 12 weeks while maintaining other anti-parkinsonism medications (e.g., dopaminergic agent, dopamine agonist) unchanged. Additional participants without sleep disturbance or PD served as controls. The changes in detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) of physical activity with respect to diurnal activity (DA), evening activity (EA), nocturnal activity (NA), Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS) score and unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) score were evaluated every 4 weeks during the 12-week YXQN intervention period and again at week 16.
A total of 61 (placebo group, n = 30; YXQN group, n = 31) idiopathic PD participants with sleep dysfunction (mean age ± standard deviation, 63.4 ± 8.6 years; mean duration of illness, 5.8 ± 6.6 years) completed the study. Significant improvements in EA (p = 0.033, 0.037 and 0.029), DA (p = 0.041, 0.038 and 0.027) and PDSS score (p = 0.034, 0.028 and 0.029) were observed in the YXQN group at weeks 8 and 12, and maintained until week 16, respectively.
YXQN improved the DFA parameters, and PDSS and UPDRS scores in PD participants.

A high incidence of sleep dysfunction has been reported in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) [1, 2, 3], especially in patients receiving dopaminergic agent treatment [3, 4]. PD patients with significant sleep dysfunction may indicate early progressive degeneration of the sleep centers [5]. Chinese medicine (CM) preparations have shown beneficial effects on aging-related symptoms [6, 7] and chronic diseases, such as PD [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13], including improved nocturnal sleep disorder in PD patients [14].
As a CM compound for treating headache and dizziness associated with serious sleep disturbances, Yang-Xue-Qin-Nao granules (YXQN) attenuate cerebral microcirculatory disturbances during ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo[15], which might improve the sleep dysfunction in PD patients. YXQN (Tianjin Tasly Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Tianjin, China) is a newly developed compound medicine that was approved in 1996 by the China State Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of headache and dizziness associated with cerebrovascular diseases. The granules are composed of 11 herbs: Radix angelicae sinensis (Dang Gui), 6.76%; Rhizoma chuanxiong (Chuan Xiong), 6.76%; Radix paeoniae alba (bai shao), 5.41%; Ramulus uncariae cum uncis (Gou Teng), 13.51%; Caulis spatholobi (Ji Xue Teng), 13.51%; Spica prunellae (Xia Ku Cao), 13.51%; Concha margaritifera usta (Zhen Zhu Mu), 13.51%; Radix rehmanniae preparata (Di Huang), 5.41%; Semen cassiae (Jue Ming Zi), 13.51%; Rhizoma corydalis yanhusuo (Yan Hu Suo), 6.76%; and Herba asari (Xi Xin), 1.35%. Available evidence from in vitro studies has revealed that at least six chemicals derived from these herbs exhibit antioxidant potential, inhibit neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells and decrease infarct size and brain tissue damage [15]. YXQN was reported to show effects on functional and structural changes in microvessels in the cerebral cortex of gerbils induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury [15]. These granules might improve non-motor symptoms, such as dizziness, headache and even depression [16, 17].
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of add-on YXQN in PD patients by analyzing actigraphic measurements [18, 19]. The changes in detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) parameters were analyzed by the actigraph records for diurnal activity (DA), evening activity (EA) and nocturnal activity (NA).
Participant inclusion and exclusion criteria
The UK Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank clinical diagnostic criteria were used to assess the eligibility for participation in this study. PD was defined by the presence of at least two of the four cardinal features (bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity and postural reflex abnormality). Subjects were included if they had idiopathic PD, were being treated with daytime levodopa and had at least three awakenings per night occurring at least three nights per week and attributable to PD symptoms [20]. Exclusion criteria were current direct dopamine agonist treatment, dementia, depression, psychosis, hallucinations, and prior intolerance to dopamine agonists or use of sleep medications. All patients were at least 40 years of age, were evaluated in the middle of their levodopa dose cycle at maximal mobility ('on') for the severity of parkinsonism and signed informed consent before participation. The study was approved by The Ethics Committee of Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and was performed in accordance with the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki.

Equipment and data analysis
Each participant wore an actigraph which was a small watch-type activity monitor equipped with a computer (MicroMini-Motionlogger; Ambulatory Monitoring Inc., USA), on the wrist of their non-dominant hand for 6 consecutive days in the series time windows (4 weeks each) during the 16-week observation period. Zero-crossing counts were recorded every minute by the actigraph to quantify the level of physical activity. The data were transmitted to a computer and the activity scores were plotted for 3 consecutive days to determine the daily profiles and biological rhythms of each participant. The data acquired from the actigraph were categorized into DA (between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.), EA (between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.) and NA (between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.). Discontinuous data were combined through an integrative method as follows. We divided the difference between the two connecting terminals of the two data into four quarters, made the connection into an oblique line (it was a broken line before integration) to avoid connecting errors, and connected all the pieces of data into one continuous sequence for fluctuation analysis [18]. Subsequently, we analyzed the DFA value α to evaluate the relationships between time scales and magnitudes of fluctuation (standard deviations: SDs) within each time scale [21, 22]. More correlated signals represented a greater growth of the fluctuation magnitude with increasing time scale or length of data windows [18]. The outcome measures were assessed at baseline and every 4 weeks during the 16-week intervention.
Clinical evaluation
The unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) score [23] and Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS) score [24] were evaluated for all participants at week 0 (baseline) and at weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16 by neurologists who were blinded to the test granules. The PDSS score in the control group was evaluated once on the first day of the recording week.
Statistical analysis
Repeated-measure ANOVAs were conducted to test the differences among changes in outcomes at baseline and every 4 weeks for 16 weeks. When a significant difference was detected, a post hoc test (Bonferroni test) was conducted between the YXQN group and the placebo group to compare the UPDRS total scores, the α values of DA, EA and NA, and the changes in the PDSS scores. The differences at baseline between the control group and the YXQN group, and between the control group and the placebo group were analyzed by t-tests. A significant difference was defined as P < 0.05. SPSS for Windows version 17.0 (SPSS China, China) was used for statistical analyses. All data were expressed as the mean ± SD.
Eighty-two idiopathic PD patients at the Department of Neurology of Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were recruited, and 70 patients who met the criteria were enrolled. Five PD participants in the YXQN group withdrew from the study for drug-related reasons: two participants experienced nausea and three were unable to tolerate the bitter taste of YXQN. Four participants in the placebo group dropped out: one participant was unable to tolerate the bitter taste of placebo, two participants dropped out because of inefficacy and one dropped out through a conflict with other CM preparations prescribed for concomitant diseases.
A total of 61 PD participants completed the trial, and were randomized into the YXQN group (n = 31) and the placebo group (n = 30) (Table 1). All control participants (n = 35) completed 1 week of recording. No differences in age or sex distribution were observed among the three groups. No differences in PD duration, UPDRS total score, PDSS score, α values of DFA for DA, EA and NA or dose of levodopa at baseline were observed between the YXQN group and the placebo group (Table 1).

Herbal treatments may influence PD symptoms and the effectiveness of dopaminergic therapy [25]. The improved NA associated with YXQN, but not with nocturnal levodopa, may be attributed to differences in the pharmacologic actions on dopamine receptor subtypes or the effects of YXQN on other neurotransmitter systems [15]. The UPDRS scores improved slightly after YXQN administration (Table 2), and the observed benefits might be caused by the sleep effects, rather than direct motor effects, in patients with PD.
Currently, complementary and alternative treatments are becoming more effective for the treatment of chronic disorders, such as dementia, sleep disorder, mood disorders, high blood pressure and anxiety [26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31]. However, there is no reliable quantitative and objective equipment to evaluate the effects. Several studies have demonstrated the utility of actigraphs [14, 18, 19, 20] and their application in PD to assess disease severity, NA and circadian rest-activity rhythm with aging and Alzheimer's disease [32], and to distinguish tremors from soma activity in PD patients [33]. Although actigraphs cannot distinguish between NA owing to wakefulness and NA caused by other nocturnal sleep disturbances, such as REM sleep behavior disorder, periodic limb movements or sleep apnea, none of the latter effects are caused or worsened by dopamine treatment. Nocturnal sleep disturbance may arise from these symptoms [2, 3, 4], and demonstration of improvements may indicate that the sleep disturbance can be treated by alternative therapies such as YXQN. The exact mechanisms of the effects of YXQN on REM sleep behavior disorder, periodic limb movements or sleep apnea remain to be determined.
In this study, administration of YXQN three times per day for 12 weeks was effective for improving EA and sleep dysfunction in PD participants, and these improvements were maintained for 16 weeks. A lower α value of DFA indicates a higher activity ability during the diurnal period, while a higher α value of DFA reflects a lower activity ability during the nocturnal period [18, 21, 22]. No treatment-related adverse events, such as hypotension, abnormal liver and/or renal function, diarrhea or coagulation defects, were observed in the study participants, indicating that YXQN is likely to be a safe therapy for PD patients with sleep dysfunction.
YXQN improved the DFA parameters, and PDSS and UPDRS scores in PD participants.

Here is a list of errors for your machine.
I hope they help you.
When an error occurs, the alarm noise will sound and the error code displayed in the program window. Listed below is a series of error codes you may or may not see for your model of Samsng Washing Machine. The errors are shown as blinking in O.5 second intervals until the error status has cleared. In this case, all the driving devices are turned off until the error is cleared.
1. WATER SUPPLY ERROR - Display shows 4E.
Water Supply Error occurs when water level frequency does not show changes more than 100Hz or water is not supplied up to the preset water level after 10 Minutes or more at the time of initial water supply. The error status can be cleared by turning the POWER switch OFF and back ON.
2. WATER DRAIN ERROR - Display shows 5E.
5E is displayed if the water level frequency detected is 25 KHz or less in the initial phase of the UNB -detecting cycle. The Water Drain error can be cleared by turning POWER SW OFF and back ON.
3. OVER-FLOW ERROR - Display shows oE.
Over-Flow error occurs when the water level is too high. It can be cleared by turning POWER switch OFF. Water is drained prior to POWER switch OFF. The tub is drained for 2 minutes if a frequency of more than 25 KHz is detected.
4. UNBALANCE ERROR - Display shows UE.
Laundry load is unbalanced, manually loosen any tangled laundry.
If only one item of clothing needs washing, such as a bathrobe or jeans, the final spin result might be unsatisfactory and an UE error message will be shown in the display. Unbalance error is cleared by POWER switch OFF and back ON.
5. WATER HEATER ERROR - Display shows HE, HE1.
HE, HE1 is displayed if the water temperature rises by 7 C or more in 1 Min or by 2 C or less 20 Min after heating process has started. The error can be cleared by turning POWER switch OFF.
6. WATER PRESSURE SWITCH ERROR - Display shows 1 E.
* Generated Frequency Signal of WATER LEVEL (WIL) SIW (KHz)
Normal Level = Abnormal W/L Frequency
Low Level = 30.00 Khz
High Level = 15.00 Khz
If the same signal is detected for more than 5 seconds, it is a PRESSURE SWITCH Error. When this error occurs the drain pump will operate for 3 min. and the display will show 1 E indicating a pressure switch error.
7. ABNORMAL WATER TEMPERATURE ERROR- Display shows cE.
e.g. If the water temperature is 50 C or more, during a Delicate or Wool cycle.
At the time of initial water supply, if the water temperature is not appropriate, the display will show cE. This error can be cleared by POWER SWITCH OFF.
8. WATER LEAKAGE ERROR - Display shows 11 E.
Water Leakage error occurs when the water drains naturally, (by leakage) after the washing program starts.
9. THERMISTOR ERROR - Display shows tE

TACOMA, WA— It was a rare moment at the Tacoma Soccer Center on Saturday night. As the Tacoma Stars Reserves and Sporting Everett FC walked off of the pitch for the halftime break the scoreboard over their head in the rafters read 0-0. It's the first time in the history of the WISL that neither team scored a goal in the first half.
UPDATE: Sporting Everett has been awarded a 1-0 forfeit win over Tacoma Stars Reserves due to Tacoma using an ineligible player 1-14-17.
It was a different story in the second half though. Eddie Na scored a hat trick as Tacoma pulled away from the visitors in an eventual 7-1 win.
It was 2-0 going into the 4th quarter. The Stars had gotten goals from Na and Danny Minniti to break the scoreless match.
In the 4th quarter Tacoma erupted for 5 more, including 2 from more Na.
The other Stars goals came from Eli Gordley, Nate Ford and JJ Schmeck.
Sporting Everett's lone tally was by Corey Hendrickson.

Depression During Pregnancy
In any woman's life, pregnancy is the most crucial and exciting time. Various feelings work together at the same time. She is sometimes happy and at other times there is a state of confusion, fear, stress, sadness or even depression. Do not fear, this is normal but the mother still needs a little extra care and support at this time.
Approximately 2- 30% of women tackle depression during their pregnancy, while 10% of the women suffer from severe or major depression. Depression is significantly present in pregnant women but is often not properly diagnosed as the world around her sees it simply as hormonal changes.
Depression during pregnancy is defined as a mood disorder. Mood disorders are generally considered as a biological illness that involves changes in brain chemistry. Actually, when a woman becomes pregnant, a number of hormonal changes take place that can change brain chemicals which in turn, can directly relate to depression and anxiety.
Causes of Depression During Pregnancy:-
Some of the major causes of depression during pregnancy are listed here:
- Relationship problems.
- Any history of depression in her family or personal life.
- Treatment of fertility, if taken, can also cause depression.
- Any previous miscarriage. This is going to be in the mother's mind as she proceeds through her new pregnancy.
- Life has stressful events and that stress can cause the mother to become depressed.
- Any kind of complications in pregnancy can cause her to become depressed as well.
- History of trauma or abuse. Abuse is never okay and if the mother is or was at any time a victim of abuse, she can be plagued with depression.
Depression During Pregnancy Can Cause Harm To Your Unborn Baby:-
If the depression is not treated in an appropriate amount of time, then it can cause harm to both the mother and her baby. In such a case, the mother will suffer from poor nutrition, possibly begin drinking, continue or begin smoking, and possibly entertain suicidal behavior; all these things can result in premature birth, low body weight of the baby, and developmental problems in the baby. Not to mention it is harmful to the mother and it will not just go away after the baby's birth. Depression is a serious medical condition that needs ongoing treatment as soon as it rears its head. No one should ever assume that a pregnant mother is just having hormonal changes, it never hurts to go with her to her doctor and voice your concerns.
A woman suffering from depression has neither the courage nor the desire to take care of herself or of her developing baby, it is best to become a part of her support system and in effect, the baby's support system.

Hi All,
I am trying to implement a Drag and Drop from a listing (not a portal) and I have my global variables working correctly, marking the start ($$Drag) and end ($$Drop) records. All I need to do is place the $$Drop variable back in the $$Drag record "order" field. I'm using the OnObjectEnter script trigger to get the id into the $$Drag variable and the Auto Calculation to place the $$Drag value into the destination "order" field, then use OnObjectModify script trigger to get the record number for that field ($$Drop) so I can put that back in the starting record. I want to use filemaker SQL because I don't wan't to clutter up my Relationship graph.
I'm having trouble with the SQL syntax for an update statement in the script step ExecuteSQL (as a script trigger). Here's what I have and it seems to run except the system wants an ODBC source. Execute SQL [UPDATE Course_Weeks SET order = $$Drop, WHERE WeekNumber = $$Drag]
I have been using the ExecuteSQL function elsewhere successfully with something like this:
Let ([
~TableName = GTN ( Get ( LayoutTableName ) );
~FieldOrder = GFN ( Course_Weeks::order );
~FieldWeek = GFN ( Course_Weeks::WeekNumber );
~SQL = "Update " & ~TableName & " SET " & ~FieldOrder & " = " & $$Drop & " WHERE " & ~FieldWeek & " = ?"];
ExecuteSQL ( ~SQL ; ""; ""; $$Drag)
But this doesn't work at all (get the ? result). Perhaps because the Let statement works with the ExecuteSQL function and not the script step. So, where have I gone astray?
Thanks in advance;

Ahhhh yes another 80's film about teenage angst. Five teenagers comes together on a Saturday in detention, clearly against their wills. What starts off as a dreadful morning turns into a day none of them will ever forget. We are presented the classic high school stereotypes of the popular princess, the dumb jock, the badass bad boy, the brain, and the basket case.
As the day goes on, these five students, who would never normally even acknowledge each other, spill their hearts out to one another. They all reveal truths about themselves that no one else bothers to hear because in high school, rumors are always true.
By the end of the day, all the kids have cried. They have opened up and shared things about themselves that nobody else knows. The basket case and the jock share a moment. The princess and the bad boy hookup in a closet.
The Breakfast Club is a classic, and anyone who hasn't seen it needs to. While the movie is funny and makes viewers laugh, it highlights the real issues that go on in a high school. The movie pokes fun at stereotypes associated with high school, but also shows that in a way, they are true. After spending an emotional day together, all of these individuals go on with their lives as if they had never met. There is a deeper meaning though in that sometimes there is more than meets the eye, but, i'll let The Breakfast Club explain that to you.

Tonight at confirmation we started with a simple subject, "Who is God?" I asked all the kids, 'If someone came up to you and ask you, "Who is God?" What would you say? Most kids had a completely confused look on their faces. The unfortunate thing was that the kids who are usually in worship had no idea what to say. Even worse, I would not had said anything because I never said anything in confirmation!
After looking at simple verses of God being omniscent, omnipotent, omnipresent, eternal, holy, and a spirit. It all came down to one great and wonderful thing, God is LOVE. Love that goes beyond our love, love that first came to us through the cross, and a love that will be there through all things.
Who is God? Love!

Uncle's Livestock
I don't know much, or anything, about durocs, hampshires, poland chinas or hogs in general. These, I believe, are china.
My Uncle Ellis, who was an auctioneer and a farmer, had some livestock on his farm, e-i-e-i-o. He had a sow which, at the time of my last visit with him, was confined to a very sturdy stall in the barn. The quickest and most efficient way to get to the nether regions of the farm was to pass through the barn. Uncle advised me to give Ms. Piggy's stall a wide berth, for, he said, she is perfectly capable of reaching much farther past the wall than one might think, and her intent in so doing would be to bite off my arm.
It didn't take much warning to this city boy.
Down in the back forty was another animal resident of the farm, a jackass which Uncle had bid in at an auction he had cried a year or so earlier. It had, he said, become a pretty good pet, but it had been a bit intractable at first.
Uncle Ellis told me that fairly early on in their relationship he wanted Jack to go from the barn lot to a field across the road. In order to exit the home place, one had to transit a wooden bridge over a small rill. Jack walked down the lane so far as the bridge, but refused to step onto it. Uncle cajoled, he smacked the animal in the face with his hat. Uncle probably cursed and stomped. Nothing doing. The farmer walked back to the barn and picked up a three-foot length of two-by-four. With this persuader, he smacked the donkey on the rear. Repeatedly. No go. So it was get a log-chain and fire up the Oliver. Everything in position, donkey chained, tractor up and across bridge. Now as it was told to me, the donkey crossed the bridge, but he never lifted a hoof across the entire span!
To my knowledge, Uncle Ellis never took a vacation in all the years he lived on that place. Dairy cows, doncha know. And we won't even talk about his getting caught up in the nutria raising bidness.

Your first paragraph alone brought back a plethora of memories as I grew up raising show and commercial hogs on our family farm. And as the granddaughter of a dairy farmer, I think that is the most demanding of any type of animal raising.

Shelly, we live in the heart of "hog country" and I enjoy seeing the youngsters show their livestock at the 4-H fair. But I've no inclination to be involved beyond that level. Well, I can be persuaded to eat the ham and bacon.
Shark, farming is serious and not always profitable business. We need to appreciate the things these people do for us.

Animals are expensive and hard to keep. Many farmers are ditching animals for the crop and windmill business now.

Lin, it is true that most animals are raised in factory-style operations. When I moved to this county forty years ago, virtually every farm had hogs or other livestock. Now one could count the hog operations on the fingers of one hand-- but they are big operations.

Sometimes it's a wonder what possesses me to think I can do something.
After attending a fantastic quilt show and taking photos of some of the materials used in the quilts...I found a pattern I really liked and I "wondered" if I could possible figure out the "step outs" (which means directions in Zentangle talk) to making it.
Taking the pattern down to the BARE minimum and then working your way back up takes some outside-the-box thinking. It often requires looking at "negative" shapes instead of positive ones.
Anyway, I thought it was kind of fun but it took me a good hour and a half of "futzing" around to work myself back into steps that would be repetitive so that someone else could do the pattern too.
I hope one of you out there will try it for me and see if it is repeatable! It's not the easiest tangle but not that hard either once you get the hang of it.

I remember about two years ago…I was 20 years old, when my mom and dad finally split. They were never married, but they we together for my entire life so the whole ordeal was quite traumatizing. With my sister being two years older than me and more financially secure she had already made plans to move out. My brother who's five years older than me had been living alone for years. Then there was me…. the lost 20 something year old little girl trying to figure out where I would be living, working etc.. I couldn't stay with my mom because she decided to move back to her hometown in North Carolina and living with my dad wasn't really an option.
So, I moved in with my big sister. I slept on her couch for about a year. Once I found out my niece was on the way I knew I 'd have to leave soon. My sister's one bedroom apartment wasn't really enough space for all of us. To make a very long story short I spent almost two years sleeping on couches, living room floors and in guest bedrooms. It was not fun, at times it was very stressful…but by keeping faith and working hard I finally landed a job that would provide the financial security I was longing for.
This past November, I finally moved into my very first apartment! Moving into my own place was on on my to do list for about 2 years before it actually happened. It has to be one of the scariest and the most amazing things that has ever happened to me. Although this post wasn't really supposed to be about my personal life drama lol, I felt the urge to share that story, maybe it can help someone else. I used to be embarrassed about it, but not anymore. I'm living proof that if you are going through a rough time, it's only temporary!
It's been a hell of a journey but, I'm so grateful that it has finally happened. Going through all of that makes it so much more special today.
Now time for the fun part decorating! I've been kind of obsessed with Pinterest as of lately. I have so many cool ideas for how I plan to decorate my new space. The inspiration is a Modern-Vintage style. I'm truly obsessed with cream, white, ivory, egg shell and bright pops of color. Here's some of my favorite inspiration pics for more check out my pinterest.
I'm completely obsessed with this flamingo wall paper! Does anyone know where I can find it?
Another one of my obsessions include anything that is Egyptian & Indian inspired!
I'm in love with the idea of taking vintage pieces and updating them…something like this.
What do you guys think? I'm planning of making a video on moving and living alone in the near future.I'll be sure to add an apartment tour into the video!

You Are Mine
I love the refrain from a song in Church on Sunday.
"Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me, I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine."
The words were very fitting for what we've been feeling and going through with Anna for about a week now. Issues I can't really find the words for except to say that there are places in her heart that are still in raw pain. Raising an adopted child leaves Scott and I sometimes (altough it's not as often now) emotionally exhaused. We haven't seen an 'episode' (we'll call it) in a loooong time and we're not sure why. We can only guess that two field trips in one week has thrown her off. She does not feel safe in her world when the routine is changed, when there's unexpected, when as she puts it, "things are all loose". For this reason we ask her teacher to please leave her desk the same all year if possible when they change things up.
Anna is a sweet girl with lots of love in her. She adores her sister and really needs her to feel safe when we're out and about. Abigail is her little security blanket. She loves her home and her family. She loves school and learning and is such a hard worker. She just amazes Scott and I sometimes that she can do all she does; be all she is while working through the pain caused from her first 14 months of life. She still struggles to look in my eyes when she says "I love you" , to cuddle, and to let us hold her for long periods of time. But we do, and we do on purpose.
This weekend I was rocking her through some hurt and praying, asking God for strength for me and I kept feeling His arms around me and I though of those words...
"Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me, I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine."

I have just finished the book; Born to Run by Chris McDougal. I would recommend it this to all runners as it would change the way you look at running completely. Here is a video on the Tarahumara who is featured in McDougal's book and looks at barefoot running vs running with traditional running shoes. You decide which one is best!
