Published on January 21, 2015
NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA, PA (January 21, 2014): Nazareth Hospital's Professional Practice Council recognized the hospital's DAISY Award recipient for the third quarter of 2014: Terrie Cannon, BSN, RN, OCN, Oncology Nurse Navigator with Mercy Cancer Center at Nazareth Hospital. Terrie was presented with the award by Michael F. Beshel, MBA, MHA, MSN, RN, NE-BC, VP, Patient Care Services/Chief Nursing Officer on Friday, January 16.
Terrie was nominated by Karen McGinley, Executive Assistant at Nazareth Hospital. Karen had this to say about her experience as a patient and colleague working with Terrie:
"As a Nazareth employee and former cancer patient treated here, I have dealt with Terrie on both sides. As an employee, Terrie is a fine example of a team player. She works hard, asks questions, offers assistance, and wants successful outcomes. As the oncology nurse navigator, there is no one like Terrie. She is there for patients regarding any issues (clinical, financial, emotional, or seeking advice and suggestions). No matter how Terrie is assisting, you have her full focus and attention.
I also attend the Nazareth Cancer Support Group monthly meetings, which Terrie has chaired for many years. It's a close group and we try to support each other and share helpful information. New cancer patients tend to arrive timidly and display a huge smile when they see Terrie. After the meeting, new patients leave feeling more confident and knowledgeable. It's amazing the individual support Terrie offers these folks. You can just tell that she has been involved and available for them privately and one-on-one during their case.
Since I went through cancer and know how overwhelming it is, I can identify from patients' expressions and body language that Terrie is very important to them. Terrie is also right in the middle and oversees a committee that annually honors cancer survivors at a Nazareth Hospital luncheon. It's very enjoyable and Terrie's committee is so devoted to making this a special day.
I believe you have to be a very special person with very special qualities and skills to be an oncology nurse navigator. We are so fortunate that Terrie has what it takes and that she is here at Nazareth."
The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick "Pat" Barnes. The care Patrick received inspired the Barnes family to create the DAISY Awards to recognize nurses who make a profound difference in the lives of their patients and their families.
Patients, visitors, physicians, other nurses or team members can nominate a Nazareth nurse for the DAISY award. One recipient is selected each quarter. Each honoree receives a beautiful and meaningful sculpture called "A Healer's Touch," hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Africa. The DAISY award winner's unit coworkers celebrate with a treat of cinnamon rolls, in keeping with a tradition the Barnes family established.

Planting Guides
Stachys (Lambs Ear) is a big family of primarily Old World perennials that bloom from late spring into mid-summer (depending on the variety) and are easy-to-grow. They are resistant to browsing rabbits and deer.
Preferred growing conditions:
- Stachys grow well in most any type of soil including clay that doesn't sit wet.
- Mulch with common mulching materials.
- Most do well with regular irrigation to keep the soil moderately moist. But the gray fuzzy-leafed Stachys byzantina and cultivars are quite drought tolerant and grow well in dry shade.
- Plant in full sun or part sun. Some can grow in more shade.
- Just a few handfuls of compost and Yum Yum Mix in the planting hole is enough. Lambs Ear doesn't like rich, compost enhanced soils. Special comments:
- Some seed grown species can re-seed vigorously and should be deadheaded.
- Varieties that spread by underground roots (groundcover types) are easily divided to propagate more plants and restrict their spread in the garden. Garden Care:
- Fertilize in the fall with Yum Yum Mix and good quality compost.
- Deadheading is not necessary.
- Stachys byzantina should be cut back in late fall; the fuzzy foliage can rot over the winter/early spring in moister climates.
- Other groundcover types (S. maxima) need only to be deadheaded after blooming. Large patches can be mowed with a lawn mower with mowing deck set high.

Comments about High Country Gardens Stachys coccinea Mountain Red:
I planted about 4 of these on my property in late May. By July, they had reached at least one foot tall and were covered with little red flowers that the humming birds loved. I planted some in full sun and some in more shady areas. The ones in full sun grew faster than the ones in shade, but all of them flowered in the first year. I haen't seen much sign of them yet this year, but I am looking forward seeing them pop up!

Comments about High Country Gardens Stachys coccinea Mountain Red:
I purchased five of these, planting them in May and June. By mid-July, three of the five are already blooming and 10-14 inches tall. The hummingbirds go crazy for these plants. I have planted a large selection of agastaches and penstemons, but the hummingbirds go for this plant the most.

This is a wonderful plant to attract hummingbirds! I planted it last year and was worried about how it would survive it's first winter in zone 4. This spring which has been cold, cloudy & rainy, it is up & growing. A beautiful plant!

Suggested Companion Plants:
USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Onion Creek Loop Trail is a 16 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Prairie City, Oregon that offers scenic views. The trail is rated as difficult and primarily used for hiking, trail running, camping, and backpacking. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

I completed the Onion creek trail in late August 2013. The trail is Brutal. Steep, rocky, and very narrow. I used Onion Creek to complete the loop to Strawberry Mountain and then through the meadow to strawberry lake. Overall it was a 2 day backpacking trip that covered approx 12.5 miles. The views from onion creek down to prairie city and John Day are spectacular. This is a trail that I'm glad I did, but most likely will never attempt again. The open meadow about half way up has plenty of trail markers as there really isn't a trail in this are. Please be warned that its a true butt burner and your knees will be pissed at you when your finished.

Summer can be uncomfortable for anyone. But for people with diabetes, the heat and humidity can be particularly hazardous.
One of the complications of diabetes, both Type 1 and Type 2, is an impaired ability to adjust to rises in temperature, which can cause dangerous increases in body temperature during the summer. The underlying problem, nerve damage, occurs in 60 to 70 percent of Americans with diabetes; it can affect nearly every organ in the body, including sweat glands. When nerve damage keeps the sweat glands from working properly, the body fails to cool down as the mercury rises.
In one small study, scientists compared diabetic patients and a group of healthy control subjects as they were exposed to increasing temperatures. The subjects were hooked up to devices that measured skin temperature, core temperature and sweat rates. As temperatures rose, the control subjects' perspiration rates increased proportionately; their core temperatures stayed constant.
"For subjects with diabetes, sweat seemed to plateau irrespective of an alarming rise in core temperature," the scientists wrote. "The diabetic subjects' generalized inability to sweat across the body had a profound effect on core temperature."
Research by the Mayo Clinic in Arizona shows that diabetic patients have higher rates of adverse events — like hospitalizations, dehydration and death — in the heat. Yet a survey by the clinic found that many were unaware of the greater risk and the need for special precautions.
People with diabetes are particularly vulnerable to hot weather.

Three separate technological advances – miniaturization, cloud storage and increased processing power - have changed the workplace forever. Miniaturization means that everything we do, be it on our cells or wearables, leaves a digital trace. Cloud storage means we can store this mountain of data and access it anywhere in the world. Processing power means that the depth of analysis that we can perform on this data provides insights that were not previously possible.
This is the era of Big Data.
Big Data is changing the way businesses make decisions. It allows us to see patterns that we were unaware of and react to events that have not yet occurred. Do you know how it will effect EHS and how will it change your job in the coming years?
In this webinar, Medgate's in-house experts for Business Intelligence and Environmental & Safety team up to answer what Big Data is, why it matters and where is it going for EHS professionals.
Attend this webinar and learn:
- An exploration of what Big Data means
- An examination of how it is changing the way we make decisions
- A look at how it will impact EHS

The day after Mitt Romney's win in Illinois, former Massachusetts Gov. Jeb Bush is endorsing him and calling for the party to unite around the former Massachusetts governor who has struggled to close the deal.
"Primary elections have been held in thirty-four states, and now is the time for Republicans to unite behind Governor Romney and take our message of fiscal conservatism and job creation to all voters this fall," Bush said in an e-mail sent out by his education foundation. "I am endorsing Mitt Romney for our Party's nomination. We face huge challenges, and we need a leader who understands the economy, recognizes more government regulation is not the answer, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism and works to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to succeed."
Many Republicans unhappy with Romney had held out hopes that Bush would get into the race, despite his protests to the contrary.

5 Must Read Business Books for Successful Entrepreneurs
I've become a startup, small business and entrepreneurship book curator – literally. We receive a lot of great books from best-selling authors and business extraordinaires, but unfortunately few have the depth to make the read "plausible" and the breadth to capture your attention – and keep it.
Recently, I considered that many of us often stay within an industry-specific comfort zone when it comes to selecting new books. Traditional wisdom may suggest that you stick to what you know. But I've found that much of the strategic insight and tactical knowledge that impacts your business is found in the unlikeliest of places.
Hence, I was so impressed with several excellent – yet diverse books, that I had no choice but to share them with you. In hopes that you'll read them and that they'll spark genius and refresh your business.
Sure! We all have our tried and true business books that take up coveted space in our iPads, Nooks, Kindles and office shelves … but these five books should definitely be on your list. And here's why:
1. The Lean Startup
"Be more innovative. Stop wasting people's time. Be more successful," says Eric Ries, entrepreneur and author of the New York Times bestseller "The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Business."
Ries evangelizes his mantra of Lean Thinking principles applied to the entrepreneurial process. His inspiration? The lean manufacturing process, fine-tuned in Japanese factories decades ago which focused on eliminating any work or investment that doesn't produce value for customers. While it's heavily praised in tech circles, entrepreneurs across a wide array of industries could benefit from reading this book. Visit the website or buy the book.
2. By Invitation Only
Harvard MBAs Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, the founders of Gilt Groupe, reveal how they built the web's most famous fusion of high tech and high fashion empires.
Their book, "By Invitation Only: How We Built Gilt and Changed the Way Millions Shop" explores how they took their passions and developed a simple idea into a members-only, high-end "flash" sale website that soon became a viral hit and later hit a valuation of $1 billion – reaching 3.5 million members. It's a refreshing read with a ton of great insights. Visit the website or buy the book.

A Long Island boy, 6, who was born without part of his left arm, whispered a wish into Santa Claus' ear during a recent visit: he would like prosthetic arm so he can finally play an Xbox One, MyFoxNY.com reports.
Insurance does not cover a prosthetic limb for Christopher Kiezek because it was determined that medically it is not necessary to his life. But Robert Jackson, a friend of the family, heard about the boy's secret wish and started fundraising.
"I cried," Jackson told the station, upon hearing the request. He hopes to raise $25,000 by Christmas. By Thursday afternoon, the fund was over $28,000.
Kiezek, who just recently started to take up fishing, however, took back his Christmas wish because he does not like the attention being paid to his disability. His mom said he just wants to look like other boys his age.

Nacogdoches, Tx (KTRE) Dragon football is all about the team....and family.
"We want to make sure that when the football is snapped, that every player knows that he is representing his brothers around him," said head coach Bill Harper.
On the outside Henry Wiederhold and Evan Chatman, couldn't be more different, but a closer look, shows that they, are just as much a family as you will find.
"We think of each other as brothers, we have always thought that way," says Wiederhold.
"I treat him like he is my brother, we are just great friends," said Chatman.
Just over a year ago, Henry's family legally adopted Dragon swimmer Hunter Gerrard, not long after, Evan found a second home.
"It just go to the point that I started taking him home, and he just started living with us," said Wiederhold.
"They are great people, they are willing to help me and Hunter out," said Chatman, "and I really appreciate them for that."
Of course, three boys in the house, can certainly wear our a path to the kitchen.
"I'm sure my parents feel it on the food bill, but other than that, it is all good," said a smiling Wiederhold.
Though legally there is no relation, the bond is certaily there.
"It is really just like family, there is no difference at all," said Chatman.
"We have been around each other for so long, I dont even think about it any more," said Wiederhold.
And just like family, the competition between the boys never stops.
Wiederhold compared the two, "I hit Evan almost everyday, he is a little quicker than I am, but I can handle him."
The competition never stops, but neither does the admiration, both are starters on the undefeated Dragon team.
"When he is on the field I am rooting for him," says Chatman, "and when I am on the field, he is rooting for me."
Everytime Henry Wiederhold and Evan Chatman take the field in 2008, not only to they play for the team, they play for each other, they play for family.

Bartol: November full of lectures, events
"Gloria in Excelsis Deo," "Glory to God in the Highest" is the hymn of praise that begins with the words that the angels sang when the birth of Christ was announced to the shepherds in Luke 2:14.
On Sunday, Nov. 3, members of the St. Barnabas Church choir will present choral music from centuries of musical settings of the "Gloria" from Tallis to Paulena, beginning with the Renaissance and ending with the modern. It will be at St. Barnabas Church at 5 p.m., produced by J. Michael Roush, conductor and director of music and liturgy at the church. An interesting bit of church history.
The English Speaking Union has gone from a unique lecture by Curt DiCamillo on Castle Howard, ancient Rome and Brideshead, to a different gender, upcoming on Friday, Nov. 8, by Stephen DeAngelis on the "Collapse of an Empire: Romanoffs and Soviets."
Of course folks are always interested in Castle Howard due to the movie "Brideshead Revisited," and we were not disappointed. Horace Walpole's words written in the 18th century are true today, "Nobody had informed me at one view I should see a palace, a town, a fortified city, temples on high places, the noblest lawn in the world, and a grand mausoleum." We were informed that the word mausoleum came from a king of Greece whose name it was.
A most interesting and amusing speaker, DiCamillo told us he feels the castle is one of the greatest houses of today, and being kept that way by the Howard family using the movies and other ways to help the exchequer.
Next we will hear about the aftermath of the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, resulting in a provisional government headed by the bourgeoisie, the swift emigration and random arrests of the "white Russian aristocracy, looting by rogue regiments and finally a Bolshevik takeover." The lecture will talk of Lenin's announcement that rang true, the "Soviet state is for sale." He will review the sale of state treasures and the "reign of terror" under Lenin and Stalin -- two very different worlds to think about. I look forward to the Nov. 8 lecture at the Round Hill Club.
"Change the Future" will take place Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 6:30 p.m. at the Greenwich Country Club to change the future of diabetes. There will be an elegant, formal seated dinner by executive chefs, featuring farm-to-plate cuisine paired with wines to celebrate the harvest. There will be a Stop Diabetes Heroes Award honoring chef Michael Mischan, and Greenwich residents Linda and Peter Crummin. This will benefit the Connecticut American Diabetes Association.
Have you ever seen or tasted Roly Poly zucchini, vanilla peppers, rainbow potatoes, and delicate sweet dumpling squash? I hadn't until I discovered them at my favorite farm on King Street owned by Kathy and John Augustine. I asked Kathy about them and she told me that their taste was excellent, thus I enjoyed the slightly different flavor. Of course there is the usual variety of New York state apples, pumpkins and cider. Do take a look.
The school board that comes up for election on Election Day certainly has its work cut out. Frankly, I don't see how they will manage to keep both the state of Connecticut and the Greenwich school parents happy. Parents want to keep neighborhood schools, and I don't blame them. On the other hand, the state wants racial balancing.
Is a choice-based policy the only way to go?

Alright class, let's take a look into the archives a bit here. Nothing too dramatic though, let's move forward from the originals like Astro Boy, maybe further past the Gundam, and little more over to when Anime started to make it's way to the West…Ah here. Here is a good spot, this one is a particular favorite and with good reason. Everyone pay close attention, this will be on your next quiz. Now, how many of you have heard the tale of The Big O?
Every now and then we gotta look back at some of the greats that stood out here in the west. After all, even someone like me gets lazy and wants to talk about the better days when anime was new over here in the States and we honestly had not seeing anything like it before. It was something we never saw before, we grew up on Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, and other great cartoons, but those were mostly comedy. Hell, Batman, Superman, and Spider-man had their cartoons around that time but those were comic book characters that almost anyone can recognize. None of us knew Vash the Stampede, Kenshin Himura, and Yusuke Urameshi, or what they're powers and stories were, but as we found out, these weren't the heroes created by Marvel and DC. These were the stories of a different version of heroes, something closer to actual stories we'd read in novels. These were stories of men and women who were affected by "Fate" in a different way. They didn't usually put on colorful costumes (magical girl anime aside), but they would name out attacks, use more traditional weapons, and have casts that were more involved.
The Big O was one of these greats. The art style was reminiscent to the aforementioned Batman the Animated Series, but the tone was Film Noir. Oh and there is a giant robot, named the Megadeus, or as it was commonly called "The Big O". The series follows a man that goes by the name of Roger Smith, a negotiator who will take just about any job so long as it paid well. Whether it's a simple board room meeting or a kidnapping situation, Roger Smith is the best he is at what he does. However the things change for Roger Smith as he is set up on a job that takes a strange turn: the kidnappers deliver a humanoid robot name Dorthy, the same name as the kidnapped daughter, instead. From there we learn that Paradigm City, or as it's called "The City of Amnesia" is a city whose populace have literally no memories of their past lives. Everyone from the common day worker, to the high profiled roller who controls the city, has lost their memory in a strange event known as…."The Event".
Someone must have lost their memory on how to actually name life changing events. The only clue is of course the aforementioned Megadeus', the giant robots that were present at the time of "The Event". As the series unfold we learn the secret of Paradigm City, the role of the Megadeus, and why "The Event" happened. The answer was something that was even more confusing and will probably put off a lot of people. I'm not going to spoil it, or even give a reference to what the ending is because that isn't really a lot of fun. Strange thing is, that I actually don't mind the ending; I just mind that the ending meant we were never going to get a full explanation for it. Which is frustrating as all hell and I want to scream every time it I watch this anime. Yet, still I love this anime, but man the actual ending is the real huge fault in it. I guess this is one of those times where a good beginning and middle can make up for a lackluster end for me.
How about we discuss the more positive things about the anime first? For starters, the animation is the most unique in anime that I've ever seen, again the series could almost pass for a Western Style Animation instead of actual anime. Things are mostly straight lines and hard angles, different from the usual oval style of animation you'd see normally in anime. Want to know what is also awesome? The fight choreography between Big O and the enemy of the episode is satisfying to watch. Whether it's a giant robot controlled by another robot using a keyboard, or a giant sea serpent that shoots a giant laser, the show does not disappoint when it comes to big action. The best part is when you see the finishing moves, whether it's a literal explosive punch or the annihilating laser shot, it never stops being satisfying. However it's not all giant monster fights, and really the strongest feature to this anime was the writing. The stories were almost always stand alone, sometimes the main plot would be moved further along but really it normally didn't pick up until near the end of both seasons.
Character wise? Big O delivers pretty well, with Roger being our suave and sarcastic protagonist. His faithful butler, Norman is dry but loveable with a pretty awesome mustache and eye patch. Norman is also the mechanic to Big O, which pretty much solidifies him as the anime equivalent of Alfred. Dorthy also is another straight man for Roger, though her schtick is that she's trying to understand "what it means to be human", which may not sound the most unique thing you'll have heard in a sci-fi noir series, but hey it's all in the delivery and Dorthy is one of my favorite robotic companions. Saving that idea for later when I'm desperate for another topic. There really doesn't seem to be a big bad until the later half of the series, but really it's the interaction between Roger and Dorthy as Roger introduces her to a myriad of different characters. Each episode tells a self-contained story that also furthers the overall plot: the mystery of Paradigm City and it's ties with the Megadeus, though each episode does basically end with "monster of the day" the overall plot does develop quickly.
Unfortunately, Big O is still a flawed classic of an anime. Where the first season ended on both a triumphant note and cliff hanger, it's second season is where it stumbles. Again the ending of the second season is the huge fault for this anime, but it also lacks a sort of major antagonist. We do get one, but it comes a little too late to make much of an impact. In fact we get more than one, but the problem is that the anime is trying to both over-explain and yet over-simplify what is happening by the end. It's not like at the end of Evangelion where everything goes to shit, but it does have one of those moments where you're left wanting to know more while thinking you might be better off just leaving it be. Our major antagonists are pretty uninspired too, they're motivations work but the characters themselves are very lackluster. If anything could be changed about this anime it'd be it's ending and perhaps more emphasis on a major antagonist. This anime really wanted to tell something unique but familiar and it kind of faltered on both by the end.
Yet Big O is still a fantastic anime, that also has aged well, the first season anyway. I highly recommend giving it a watch, in fact I'd say watch season one and just stop there unless you really want to know what happens next, just brace yourself for what might not be a good anime to what is essentially a classic.
Next time we'll be getting into something a little more heavy and uncomfortable but it is something I've been wanting to talk about for a while. No worries, I feel it'll be more or less a brush up on the subject and we'll get right back to something more light hearted afterwards. After all, I can't burn you all out too soon, eh class? You're dismissed, please enjoy your viewings and see you next class.

Jackson's three children -- Prince, Paris and Blanket -- took center stage to place their father's shoes and a famous sequined glove into the cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The children were also allowed to place their own handprints next to their father's.
"For me, and I think I speak for him as well, this right here is his lifetime achievement award," said oldest son, Prince. "This is what he strived to get, and this is what we are giving him now today."
Some big entertainment names were in attendance to honor Jackson, such as Justin Beiber, Smokey Robinson, Quincy Jones and comedian Chris Tucker.
"He was just a great person. Not only was he the biggest star in the world, and changed the world, and there will never be another one like him, but he was also the kindest man in the world," Tucker said.
Jackson's mother, Katherine, and brothers Tito and Jackie also attended the event.
The event, produced by the executors of Jackson's estate, was aimed at more than just paying tribute to Jackson. The ceremony also marked the Los Angeles run of a Cirque du Soleil production featuring Jackson's music called, "Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour," which is set to open on Friday. Cirque du Soleil announced it will be adding more L.A. performances in August due to high ticket demand.
Jackson died on June 25, 2009, at age 50 from an overdose of the powerful surgical anesthetic propofol. His personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to four years behind bars.
Nearly a billion of Jackson's records have sold worldwide. Jackson also had 13 No. 1 songs and was voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice.
Jan. 26 was officially declared "Michael Jackson Immortal Day" in the city of Los Angeles.

As someone living with plaque psoriasis, you have many treatment options. Most people start with topical medications, such as corticosteroids, before progressing to systemic medications. Systemic medications work inside the body, attacking the physiological processes that cause psoriasis. In contrast, topical treatments work on the symptoms of psoriasis at the site of outbreak on the skin.
Systemic treatments are for people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Typically, these drugs fall into one of two groups: biologics and oral treatments. At present, biologics are only given by intravenous (IV) infusion or injection. Oral medications are available in pill, liquid, and sometimes injectable form.
Biologics (injectable psoriasis treatments)
Biologics are different from conventional drugs because they're made from biological cells or components. Traditional drugs are made from chemicals in a laboratory and are far less complex.
There are designed for the treatment of psoriasis. Some are also prescribed for psoriatic arthritis. secukinumab (Cosentyx), etanercept (Enbrel), adalimumab (Humira), ustekinumab (Stelara), brodalumab (Siliq), ixekizumab (Taltz), and guselkumab (Tremfya) are all given by injection. People taking these medications typically administer the injection themselves at home. Infliximab (Remicade), by contrast, is given through an IV infusion by a healthcare provider.
These biologics typically work by stopping certain proteins that cause inflammation. Because they tackle the immune system, they can cause some serious side effects like infection. The exact side effects and precautions depend on the type of medication you take for plaque psoriasis.
According to a , those taking injectable medications were highly satisfied with treatment because it was both effective and convenient. After an initial dosing period, injectable biologics are given on a more infrequent schedule. Depending on the specific medication, the time between doses may be as short as a week or as long as two to three months.
Oral medications
Oral medications have a much longer track record of treating psoriasis than biologics. These include cyclosporine, apremilast (Otezla), and acitretin (Soriatane), all of which are taken by mouth in pill or liquid form. Methotrexate, another well-established treatment, is taken orally or by injection.
All of these medications have serious side effects that you should discuss with your doctor. For example, cyclosporine increases the risk of infection and kidney problems. The risk is even greater with ongoing use. According to the , cyclosporine can't be used for long periods of time because of these risks. Long-term use of methotrexate also increases the risk of serious side effects, such as liver damage.
Oral medications are typically taken once or twice daily. Methotrexate is the one exception. It's taken with one weekly dose or divided into three doses over a 24-hour period. Unlike some biologics, there's no need to take oral medications for psoriasis in a clinical setting. Those with a prescription can take the medicine at home on their own.
Apremilast is a new oral medication that works a bit differently from traditional drugs for psoriasis. According to the , this medication acts upon molecules inside immune cells. It stops a certain enzyme that causes inflammation at the cellular level.
The takeaway
When deciding on a treatment plan for your plaque psoriasis, your doctor should take into account many different factors. In addition to how effective the treatment may be, they should discuss the potential risks of each drug with you. Injectable treatments are typically more convenient for those with psoriasis. However, they use newer technology and come with the risk of serious side effects
Oral treatments also have potential side effects, but may be appropriate for people who prefer to take a pill than receive an injection. Be sure to have an open conversation with your doctor before deciding on the right treatment for you. Together you and your doctor can determine the best way to manage your plaque psoriasis.

1. They're Perfectly Handbag Sized
I was recently in a workshop where we were asking members of the public to empty their bags and show what products they took with them on a daily basis. It was shocking how many women are lugging around giant 100ml fragrance bottles with them every day, hurting their shoulders and backs in the process - those things aren't light! Rollerballs and solid scents are the size of a lipgloss, meaning you can even pop one in a clutch bag. There's no need for a tote the size of a suitcase just to pop to the shop.
2. You Can Target Pulse Points
Rather than spritzing fragrance all over (and inevitably getting it in both your eyes and up your nose,) these little vials allow us to specifically target our pulse points - the inner wrists, the base of the throat, behind ear lobes, in the cleavage, behind knees, and the inner elbows. These areas are where the scent can be enjoyed the most, both by the wearer and the sniffer! This also saves a lot of product and ensures you're only using what you need; we all inevitably spray ten times the amount that's really required.
3. Oils & Solids Work With Our Skin
Due to the way our skin works, oils and solid formats work much better than liquids when applied directly. Put simply, they're able to 'melt' into the skin and work with our natural oils and secretions - making the result much more natural and complementary to our own odour. This not only enables them to last longer, but the result is much more subtler and just helps to create the illusion you just stepped out of the shower smelling that way.
4. They're Brilliant For Travel
If you've ever struggled packing a case for the airport and had a nightmare with your liquid allowance at customs, solid scents are your new best friends. Just think how many extra lipglosses and moisturisers you could take if you swapped a giant bottle for a teeny vial with just as much power! I now never take perfumes in the traditional sense away with me; they're always replaced by a rollerball or solid alternative for pure practicality.
5. You Can Layer & Experiment
I love to layer my scents and create something altogether new, but it is harder with spray formats - you have to be a bit more targeted and ensure you'relayering in the right place! With rollerballs and solid scents it's much easier to mix fragrances and create something unique, massaging the scent into skin for an understated sophisticated edge. These formats are mostly less expensive too, meaning from a cost perspective you're more willing to experiment!
Although they are more fiddly to store, I just love these formats and have been collecting them like football stickers. Byredo Parfums offer a range of incredible fragrances in rollerball format that are inspired by fantastic stories; this Bal D'Afrique (£47) is described as "a warm and romantic scent inspired by late '20s Paris and its infatuation with African culture, art, music and dance." Diptyque also have a range of roll-on perfume formats, including this new comforting Eau de Lavande (£32) scent that reminds me of my mother. Le Soft Perfume (£20) is the brainchild of Isabelle Masson Mandonnaud (who started cosmetics mecca 'Sephora'), who has poured her unparalleled beauty and business wisdom to create this exquisite range of solid stick scents. I love 'Artist' which is a masculine cedar-wood scent houses in a skin-nourishing, solid perfume base made with shea butter and natural waxes. These are perfume, but on another level. What's not to love?
Byredo Parfums (£47) is available from Liberty, Diptyque (£32) from Space NK and Le Soft Perfume (£20) from Cult Beauty.

Your Recommended Daily Dose Of Ubiquinol
Ubiquinol is a vitamin like substance that is produced by your own body and not only is it presents in every cell of your body, but at the same time it seems that it has amazing properties that help protect your system from various diseases. Over the years, ubiquinol has been praised as a crucial supplement to overall health, including liver, heart and skin health, but if you want to take it, you should speak to your doctor first.
Studied effects First of all, you should know that most of the times the use of ubiquinol is going to be approved for people who need it. For example, if you have a mitochondrial problem and therefore a slow metabolism, your doctor will surely approve the use of ubiquinol in order for you to get better soon. In preliminary studies, doctors have been able to discover that ubiquinol plays a vital role in the treatment of hypertension. In their tests, they found out that people suffering from hypertension who were on ubiquinol, registered a massive improvement in their condition.
The Typical Dose
When it comes to the typical dose of this substance, it ranges between thirty to ninety milligrams per day and it's important that the doses are divided. Of course, based on the conditions you may be suffering from, you may need to increase your dose. For example, if you're someone who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, then taking the general daily recommended dose is not going to help you improve your overall health. To make that possible, doctors recommend that you up your dose to twelve hundred mg of ubiquinol per day. It's only this way that you're going to see improvements.
HIV and cancer have also been tested with ubiquinol and the results were not really conclusive. This means that if you suffer from any of these diseases, you're not going to get much benefit from taking ubiquinol. Further testing is still considered at the moment, but no information as to what the results are has been made public.
Interactions With Other Drugs
If you want to take ubiquinol supplements, you should keep in mind that there may be unpleasant interactions between ubiquinol and any drugs you may currently taking. To avoid any side effects, it's best that you speak to your doctor first and he will let you know if taking coq10 is recommended or not.
The Best Way You Can Finally Have Beautiful And Young Looking Skin

The Best Way You Can Drink Turmeric Without Overdosing
If this is not the first time you have heard about turmeric, then you're probably aware by now that this is a very popular spice in India where it's used by the locals in order to cook delicious main and side dishes, but also to alleviate different kinds of pains, skin problems, reduce the chances of prostate cancer and so on. In fact, curcumin is the main ingredient in turmeric which gives mustard its yellow color. As for its taste, people say it's buttery and earthy, but it's up to you to find out how it really tastes by making some tea out of it.
Take The Supplements Every Day
For those who don't have the time or don't like to make tea at all, it seems that they can still take advantage of the amazing benefits of turmeric by taking it in capsule form. You can get it from the majority of online stores, such as http://www.amazon.com/Purely-Holistic-Turmeric-Curcumin-BioPerine/dp/B00HRXMQ50/ so make sure you only get it from a reputable seller. This way you're going to be certain you're getting your hands on the real deal.
Making The Actual Tea
In order to make tea from turmeric curcumin, you'll first of all need to consider filling your teakettle with four cups of water and then turn the stove on so you bring it to a boil. When the kettle begins to whistle, you should take it off the stove. Get your favorite teacup, fill it with water and then dung a tea bag into it and making sure that it's fully submerged. Let the bag steep for about 5 minutes. After that time is off, all you have to do is remove the bag and then begin drinking your turmeric tea.
How Many Time Can You Have It A Day?
You can actually drink as much as 3 to 5 cups of turmeric tea per day, but if you've never had it before, you should start by drinking two cups a day and then advance to 3 cups and five cups when your system has gotten used to it.

You can also use it if you have indigestion and soon you're going to feel much better.

VBAT was commissioned to refresh the visual style of the campaigns of Het Concertgebouw, one of the finest concert halls in the world.. With no real graphic system in place, all existing communications were inconsistent in terms of photography, layout, use of graphic elements and logo lock-ups.
Inspiration was drawn from the classical architecture of the building itself. Atop the Great Hall sits a gilded lyra, the instrument of Apollo, the Greek god of music. As a highly recognised symbol of Het Concertgebouw, it's outer shape forms the basis for a new graphic system.
Colour inspiration came from the rich velvet and leather upholstery found inside the building.
As a finishing touch we reintroduced the Futura family as the Het Concertgebouw brand typeface. Ultimately flexible in use, we created a design system that can be applied easily across all communication platforms, in both traditional or digital media. Reminiscent of the eight bars of a musical scale we created a new lock-up for the brand logo and pay-off. Set to music with an array of scales in various styles i.e. orchestral, jazz, percussive etc. it forms a highly memorable piece of audio branding for Het Concertgebouw.

Government spokesman Thairoung Suwanakiri was talking about the suicide Monday of Damrong Lathapipat, Thailand's minister of science, technology and energy. He shot himself just before a special Cabinet meeting called to discuss a five-year economic plan. Sanga Saopasri, the permanent secretary for science and technology, said Damrong felt that the economic plan did not place enough emphasis on science and technology for him to reach his goals. Suwanakiri said the plan is only in the discussion stage: ''The meeting was only to discuss the goals and directions.''
