State Treasurer Curtis Pitt has today handed down his second Queensland Budget and it is one that has regional Queensland at its centre.
A hallmark new policy will see a $100 million Regional Back to Work program, aimed at tackling regional unemployment, which in outback Queensland has hit 33 per cent.
The program rewards regional employers with $10,000 if they hire someone and keep them on for 12 months, bumping to $15,000 if the employee has been long-term unemployed.
Overall, the state's trend unemployment sits at 6.2 per cent. The government hopes to see that drop below 6 per cent over the forwards.
In other Budget news the Government plans will use billions from public servants' superannuation, to fund many programs.
The $4 billion repatriation from Queensland's public servant superannuation scheme will fund infrastructure and pay down growing debt.
"Half of that $4 billion will be used to reduce debt and half will be invested in infrastructure. We are making this decision to create jobs and support the economy and we make no apology for it." Treasurer Pitt said.
Today's Budget also shows state's economic growth fell short last year, bigger than forecast fiscal deficits, and shows a massive increase to spending on public servants.
The State hired 4,103 more public servants than forecast in 2015-16 with the wage bill skyrocketing by 7.3 per cent.
Mr Pitt says the Government had focussed on the restoration of frontline services. He announced a new principle of keeping public sector employee growth in line with population growth.
However, while this Budget forecasts population growth of 1.5 per cent in 2016-17, it also shows public service employee numbers will jump by an additional 5,088 or 2.4 per cent while the wage bill will surpass $20 billion for the first time.
Those figures also include the 4.8 per cent public service pay increase.
Continuing the practice established last year the Budget also sees the government again taking the government-owned corporation cash balances – about $750 million in total – and moving them to state books, lowering the government's own interest bill.
The money will still be available to the GOCs, when needed.
Overall state debt is still climbing towards $80 billion, with the projected overall debt set to hit $78.89 billion in 2019-20.
"This Budget again shows there is another way. We have proved there are alternatives to slashing jobs and frontline services or massively raising the taxes, fees, and charges paid by Queenslanders as Tim Nicholls did as Treasurer." Mr Pitt said.

The Telescope Library: What's Next for 2018/
In 2017, we have started to transform our Telescope Library to increase the value we deliver to our group. This is a good time to look back and appreciate the changes we've made, and the challenges we faced in the past year:
- Recruiting volunteers has made greater borrowing volume and high quality service a reality, and we will continue to improve in 2018. We also continue to look for people with talent and skills to help maintain and improve our collection. If you like to work with telescopes, we have a place for you!
- We are modernizing our collection and responding to your demands, by donations and planned acquisitions of newer gear, and retirement of older, less or non-borrowed items.
- We experimented with multiple-month loans, and customized orders. We will apply these ideas and lessons learned in 2018; expect to see more of this.
- Introducing web-based reservations has changed how telescopes are borrowed, improving planning for everyone. Most of our borrowing is now done by reservation, but you can still borrow a telescope on-the-spot, at any meeting, year-round. We already have reservation as much as 6 months in advance for 2018.
- We have provided special support and consideration for our Outreach efforts, all year.
- We supported numerous observers with equipment used during the solar eclipse in August.
- In partnership with many borrowers, we removed our collection from OMSI during the work done on the Planetarium. Thanks to all who helped!
We handled over 300 loans this past year, to over 80 people. We have more telescopes to loan than we did at this time last year, and we will be offering more variety, imaging capability, and more easily handled telescopes in 2018. Expect better services, more flexibility, and more choice as 2018 goes on!

UK American Civil War tribute hope
An American Civil War interest group has unveiled plans to get new memorials created to honour British and Irish men who fought in the conflict.
Edinburgh has a monument to Scots who served in the Union Army against the South. Unveiled in 1893, it is the only tribute of its kind outside the US.
The American Civil War Round Table UK's plan is for two plaques remembering those who fought for both sides.
One plaque would be erected in the UK and the other in the US.
In the States, 150th anniversary events to mark the 1861-1865 war started last year and will run through to 2015.
Of the three million men who bore arms, 300,000 were of British or Irish birth, the American Civil War Round Table UK said.
'Memorialise the sacrifice'
They fought for Union and Confederate forces in bloody land and naval battles and skirmishes.
By the end of the civil war a total of 620,000 were dead. The number included combatants from Britain and Ireland.
American Civil War Round Table UK president, Greg Bayne, said: "It was not their fight but Britons played their part in the terrible conflict.
"They came from all parts of the United Kingdom and they included many Irish.
"After the war a monument to the Scots who fought for the Union was raised in Edinburgh, but no monument has ever been erected to memorialise the sacrifice made by all those who took part."
Edinburgh's memorial, which features a bronze sculpture of a freed slave at the feet of President Abraham Lincoln, was unveiled in Old Calton Cemetery in 1893. Donations from Scottish-American families had paid for it.
It is inscribed with the names of six Scottish soldiers: Lt Col William L Duff, Sgt Maj John McEwan, Robert Steedman, James Wilkie, Robert Ferguson and Alexander Smith.
They had served in infantry and artillery regiments and also the cavalry.
Increase awareness
Many others from Britain and Ireland were drawn into America's violent conflict which had been sparked by clashes over slavery, politics and culture.
They included Robert Egan, from Chorley, Lancashire, who sailed with the Confederate Navy.
Members of the UK round table group have formed a new organisation to increase awareness of the memorials plan.
Called the American Civil War Commemorative Association and led by Basil Larkins, it will look at what sort of memorials should be created and where they should be situated.
The association hopes to raise funds for two plaques. One to be sited in the UK and the other in the US.
Mr Bayne said: "The plaques are to honour not just those who took up arms to either preserve the Union or defend Southern rights, but also the journalists, politicians, military observers and other intrepid travellers who witnessed these momentous events."
British civilians who became caught up in the civil war included English-born artist Alfred Waud. He was commissioned by newspapers to provide illustrations of battles and military manoeuvres.
'Real impact'
Paisley-born Alexander Gardner photographed the aftermath of bloody clashes. His 1862 exhibition, The Dead of Antietam, was the first time in history that the general public had been able to view photographs of a war.
Gardner's work has inspired and influenced modern day American photographers such as Richard Barnes and Robert Szabo, who use the Scot's wet plate collodion photography process to re-create civil war scenes using re-enactors.
Szabo, who featured in a BBC documentary about Gardner, first saw the Scots' civil war images when he was a boy.
He said: "I didn't know who took them then but they really had an impact on me.
"Shortly after I starting doing wet plate in 1998 I picked up a copy of the book by Mark Katz about his life. Gardner set the mark high with the work he produced."
Szabo added: "I used to work just a block from where his studio stood in Washington DC. Many times I would look at that corner and try to imagine what it might have been like there during the civil war."

While the thought of learning the basics of web design is spurring you on, you are also realizing just how overwhelming it will be. Learning more will help you to gain confidence when you embark on creating your site. With the information provided, you can design your own website that is both effective and attractive.
Website Development
In the "About Us" area of your site, write some good content about who you are. Many sites use very boring, trite ideas on these pages. You can share personal information, education history and career choices that have lead you to this point in your life. Provide some insight about your own story. How did you get inspiration? What are your goals? What led you to web design? How would you use ECommerce Web Design Solutions to fix their website issues?
Photoshop is a program that is well-known, and most understand that they must become proficient with it to have the greatest success in web page design. Fewer people are familiar with the program Dreamweaver, which can be just as useful.
Remember, designing a website does not need to be expensive. For each costly, popular program or tool available for web page design, there are equally useful programs or tools that are much cheaper. For example, open source software that is free can assist you in accomplishing tasks that are exactly the same as paid software. You can save lots of money by using open source software.
Keep in mind that a website does not have to be designed only by you. Lots of knowledge from different areas must be known about website design, which includes user interface design, search engine optimization, web programming, content creation, and graphic design. You should not feel ashamed to ask for help. So, consider hiring a specialist to help you make your website great.
If you are putting up a business website, avoid free hosting sites as this will cost you business. Though you can't beat the initial cost of free, free hosting includes ads and other features that can detract from your site. This can interfere with business practices and design, which can deter customers.
Make sure all your links are updated, and working properly. Sound web page design favors the user, if you have links that are broken or go to error messages, users will go away. Check each link on your website regularly to be sure they work correctly.
Add relevant keywords for your target audience throughout your site design. Keep in mind that outstanding website development focuses on persuasion as well as art. It's important to grasp who the website is targeting. What are the terms that will provoke the strongest, most positive response from your target audience? Find some and sprinkle them throughout your content.
It should be clear that website creation isn't as hard as it seems, once you know a bit about it. As you learn more about effective website design, it will become much easier to create a site that does justice to your brand and product offering. By using the tips you have learned here, you can design a great website before you know it.

This form of contemporary liturgical song was first developed for use by the ecumenical Christian community at Taizé, France. It uses repetitive structures that can easily be memorized, along with other parts for solo voices, choirs, and instruments. Jacques Berthier prepared the musical settings for Taizé chant. In recent years it has gained acceptance and is used in many denominations. Latin is now used for singing Taizé Chant at Taizé because of the international nature of the community. However, settings of Taizé Chant are edited for use in other languages, including English. Wonder, Love, and Praise has a variety of hymns that use Taizé chant, such as "O Lord hear my pray'r" (Hymn 827) and "Laudate omnes gentes" (Hymn 830).

Rallying a Generation Around God
A Q & A with Josh Wellborn
Josh Wellborn recently accepted the position of Assemblies of God national youth director. His path through ministry has been anything but traditional, but his vision for the future is no less grounded.
INFLUENCE: How did you get to where you are now, leading district youth directors across the Fellowship and steering the vision for the National Youth Department?
JOSH WELLBORN: It really started after graduating from Evangel University with a degree in communication studies. From there, I hosted a radio show geared toward teenagers and interned in youth ministry at a local church. Eventually, a door was open for me to move to the Flint, Michigan, area. We saw incredible growth. The church went from 700 to over 2,000 during a season of revival.
In the summer of 2015, I was approached to take the lead as the district youth director. It felt like a very natural transition for me. I was able to direct my attention to youth pastors throughout our state. When I was called to take this national position, though, it was never something I had dreamed of doing. I knew nearly every one of my predecessors personally. They've been my heroes, and I've always tried to emulate them.
What is your vision for the National Youth Department?
As far as long-term vision, I see three guiding principles directing us.
First, we need to focus on missions and Speed the Light. That means we are obedient to God, giving what He asks us to give when He asks. From those simple acts of obedience comes a wonderful testimony of provision.
"I want to see our teens rallying around God awareness."
— Josh Wellborn
Second is leadership development. Most youth pastors are high-capacity leaders, so I just want to challenge them to expand their horizons and be ready for what's next.
The third principle is two words: better together. How do we create a culture that prioritizes the body of Christ as a group fighting together for a common goal? I want to lead that charge.
If you could speak to every youth pastor, parent and student across America, what would you want them to know?
After the recent acts of violence in our public schools, I think more than ever we need to clarify our mission, especially on school campuses. As we see teenagers rallying around gun control, I want to see our teens rallying around God awareness.
I want to create a network of leaders where we are the first to respond. And I want to see students rising up to be the best leaders in the evangelical world.
Do you see something special about this generation of students?
Definitely. I've heard it said that Generation Z has the work ethic of the Greatest Generation and the attitude of Generation X. When students take the initiative, that could be a clue as to the kind of dynamic they have and the types of leaders they're becoming.
What we need to give them is a genuine encounter with the Holy Spirit and strong biblical literacy through discipleship and community. When we teach them to care for each other, emphasizing empathy and compassion, they can use that energy to change the world.
This article originally appeared in the May/June 2018 edition of Influence magazine. Sunday, May 20, is Graduation Recognition Day in the Assemblies of God. From all of us at Influence magazine, congratulations to the graduating seniors throughout our Fellowship.

Friday Night Fusion!
Do you like dancing? Do you sometimes like to not care what labels that other people around you try to put on the movements or the type of connection you use in a dance? Do you like to move to a variety of music, both old and newer, that might span over jazz, blues, pop, folk, classic and electronica? If so, we think you will enjoy Friday Night Fusion.
We who organize this all love blues dancing, but feel that there should be an outlet for more free-form dancing within our community, without blurring out the lines of what is and isn't blues.
This is a social partner dance night where any kind of music can be played, and where any kind of dance style can be incorporated.
Starting 19:30, Lillemor and Geoff will have an intro class.
Social dancing starts at 20:30 and DJ:s for the night are TBD.
There will be a "fusion fika" potluck. Everybody brings some food/snacks that brought together will be the fuel for our dancing. Since we've usually got all kinds of allergies covered between us, make sure to label your stuff! We will fix tea and coffee.
Entrance for non-members: 80 SEK
Entrance for members of Swedish Swing Society: 40 SEK

Vancouver Whitecaps FC trained Thursday at Dhillon Field at the University of British Columbia.
The central defence had bodies missing in action today as both Andy O'Brien and Johnny Leverón did not participate in the full session, instead the pair spent the session indoors working on fitness and getting treatment.
Jay DeMerit and Brad Rusin both participated in training today, but Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie was mum on the subject of whether Rusin or Demerit would factor in the weekend match against San Jose Earthquakes.
Kobayashi Daigo was sporting a cast on his right hand. The 30-year-old Japanese midfielder broke 3 bones in his right hand following a collision with goalkeeper Joe Cannon in Tuesday's training session. It doesn't appear as though Kobayashi will miss action due to the injury.
Canadian Russell Teibert and Jamaican Darren Mattocks returned to training following their time on international duty. Both are options for Rennie on Saturday.
Vancouver are scheduled to hold a closed door training session on Friday at UBC before travelling to California to meet San Jose on Saturday evening. The Caps sit 7th in the west, tied with San Jose on points, and are desperate for a victory to get themselves back into the Major League Soccer playoff hunt.
The Whitecaps are five points back of the final playoff position in the MLS's Western Conference.

I'm looking to get into the Bluetooth craze, but my iBook is not equipped with Apple's preconfigured Bluetooth module (and you can't get it installed aftermarket, from what I can tell). So, I guess that leaves me with the option to get a Bluetooth USB dongle. I know Apple recommends the D-Link DBT-120 but I don't find it aesthetically pleasing (because it doesn't match my iBook at all). Does anyone else out there know of another Bluetooth USB dongle that will work in Linux and OS X?
One Reply to "Bluetooth"
Think it's supposed to work with Macs, but not sure if it actually does, but there is a really nice Belkin Bluetooth dongle out there that you may find more aesthetically pleasing.

At its core, resistance to change is a label we apply to people who seem unwilling to accept a change. But for the most part, it isn't the change itself that people resist. People resist change because they believe they will lose something of value, or fear they will not be able to adapt to the new ways. The first step is for individuals, companies or even societies to be able to acknowledge the benefits of change and why or how they desire it to happen. This is one of the main reasons why Disruptor companies often struggle to "break" the market or make an immediate impact through their marketing channels despite hefty budgets being spent.
It is incredibly fun to be the disruptor, but it isn't easy. There will be plenty of cynics and trolls. So, what should marketers do when they are marketing a disruptive product or service? I have worked with several technology companies that operate in the so called "disruptor" field and have compiled 3 basic tips and strategies below that can positively impact a company that is operating in a disrupting industry while avoiding the pitfalls that come with being a pioneer.
Test The market
The most effective way to choose a direction for your messaging is to test the market. It is easy to test various messaging approaches on small sub-segments of your audience to see which one resonates the best with each industry or market you are targeting. There's no need to guess at what may or may not work – test, test and test again. Once you figure out your message, learn how to use that messaging to effectively nurture your prospects.
Maintain your ethos
Once you identify the best messages and story, stick with them. Consistency is critical to building a brand and a position in the marketplace you are trying to break into. It is easy to take the pessimists to heart and change directions, but resist the urge to do so. If you have effectively tested your messaging, stick with what is working with your target audience, and don't get drawn off course.
Share the love
Nothing makes a difference like real-world experience. What is important is that those who have the opportunity to experience your solution firsthand have a great experience. Perhaps even more important is that they share it. Make the experiences you deliver early on so memorable that people can't wait to share them. The most powerful path to success is through the stories your first customers and partners share, so make the experiences you deliver worth sharing or there is no point in doing it at all.
I could also add, avoiding the norm here and by that I mean, what your competitors or other companies have already done but I am pretty certain that from the 3 tips above, it is quite clear it is best to celebrate your individuality and embrace your company size or placement in the market accordingly.

Al-Georr, Ibrahim
Lebanese, 19th century, male.
Painter. Religious subjects, portraits.
Little is known of this painter, other than that he was also a sculptor and physician reputed to have been taught painting by an Italian Orientalist painter who lived north of Beirut during the final two decades of the 19th century. Ibraim Al-Georr produced portraits of leading personalities of his day in a style that was meticulously detailed, but somehow hesitant to the point of being almost naive....

My Boyfriend's French Horn Was Stolen
My boyfriend's French horn was stolen from his car. It's a Conn 8D CONNstelation series double horn. Rose brass with a fixed bell. Either it was stolen yesterday when we went to Best Buy between 5:30 -7:00 or last night while his car was our the driveway. We filed a police report and we are currently trying to locate it. We've already filed a police report.
Here are some photos along with a PDF of a flyer we've been posting around town. If anyone has any information please contact me @719-468-3878 or contact the Pueblo Police Department.
To prepare for the worst I've started a crowd sourcing campaign to help raise money to replace it. If anyone can donate or share this link, we would be very grateful.
If by chance we happen to find his french horn we will donate all money we raise to local charities.

Fox News Apologizes for Birmingham Muslim Comment After Widespread Ridicule
Fox News' mess ups, of which there have been many, are always cause for an emotional predicament — it infuriates and delights me equally, because the level of ignorance on the "news" channel is astounding, yet I love it when it tucks its tail between its legs in whimpering shame while retracting the many asinine statements its anchors make on air. This time — and finally, really — Fox News apologized for the Birmingham Muslim comment by the channel's terrorism commentator Steven Emerson.
On Saturday, Fox News host Julie Banderas apologized for Emerson's remark about Birmingham being a city fully controlled by Muslims and where "non-Muslims just simply don't go in," before adding that Sharia law was violently enforced in London. Referencing Emerson's discussion with anchor Jeanine Pirro on no-go zones in Europe where they alleged that Muslims have full control over, Banderas said:
Over the course of this last week we have made some regrettable errors on air regarding the Muslim population in Europe. To be clear, there is no formal designation of these zones... and no credible information to support the assertion there are specific areas that exclude individuals based solely on their religion...
We deeply regret the errors and apologise to any and all who may have taken offense.
Later on Saturday, Pirro also apologized for not challenging Emerson's inanity, and then provided census data from 2011 showing that 22 percent of the city's population self-identifies as Muslim and that there was no evidence of a "no-go" area. She said, on her show:
Last week on this program a guest made a serious factual error that we wrongly let stand unchallenged and uncorrected. The guest asserted that the city of Birmingham, England, is totally Muslim and that it is a place where non-Muslims don't go. Both are incorrect.
In fact, the channel took time out of four broadcasts on Saturday to apologize for four separate occasions in which its anchors made negative and ludicrous claims about Muslims. Anna Kooiman and Eric Shawn were the two other Fox News hosts who retracted the false information about Muslims that were previously provided, CNN reported.
Emerson's remark caused widespread ridicule of both him and Fox News, prompting Emerson to quickly apologize soon after in a statement, which he called a "terrible error." It was a remark so absurd in its erroneousness that even the Prime Minister of the UK, David Cameron, felt compelled to call him a "complete idiot." Cameron said:
When I heard this, frankly, I choked on my porridge and I thought it must be April Fools' day. This guy's clearly a complete idiot.
Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for calling out Emerson in what was surely the most publicly embarrassing moment of his career as a self-declared "terrorism expert." Here's hoping that Emerson will never again be publicly consulted on issues of terrorism, religious extremism, or national security again — basically whatever topics he has made a career being an "expert" on — but knowing Fox News' penchant for incendiary statements, we'll probably see him around again soon.

Scotland Men qualified for the next round of the Hockey Series Open after a convincing 4-0 win over Belarus in their final match on Sunday.
After a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Russia, Scotland responded perfectly, but had to wait until after a tight and goalless first quarter to stun Belarus in an all action second quarter.
Ironically, Belarus had put the Scottish defence under pressure by forcing two successive penalty corners, but a devastating and lightning quick counter attack following the second ended up with Robert Harwood and Kyle White combining for David Forsyth to finish in fine style in the 19th minute.
Two minutes later, Scotland succeeded where Belarus had failed, Cameron Golden doubling the lead from a well worked penalty corner routine, the ball slipped to Golden at the left post to score.
Scotland were truly in the ascendancy when Harwood scored their third goal leaving the Belarus defence in disarray in the 23rd minute.
Belarus had a chance to come back into the match four minutes before half time when they were awarded a penalty stroke following a penalty corner, but former Surbiton goalkeeper, Tommy Alexander made a save to his right.
Golden struck again in the 34th minute with his second goal of the match and sixth of the tournament as Scotland cruised to victory and moved back to the top of the table, with only Russia in position to overtake them with a victory in the last match of the tournament against hosts, Portugal.
Surbiton's Tim Atkins and Willie Marshall kept up their ever present record of being the Scottish starting lineup.
More information about the tournament can be found at the FIH website

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently returned to Austria and sources say that he has been paying child support even before he and Maria Shriver have officially filed for divorce, the Daily Mail reports.
Child support in Birmingham can be contentious because financial matters are important as a couple divorces and tries to move forward. So, hiring an experience Birmingham Divorce Lawyer is crucial to making sure all financial areas of a divorce are properly hammered out.
As previously reported by Alabama Divorce & Family Law Attorney Blog, the actor and his wife split after 25 years of marriage. At first, the public wondered why the couple, who has four children, ages 13 to 21, would suddenly break up. But news quickly surfaced that Schwarzenegger, famous as a politician and as an action movie star, had fathered a child 14 years ago with a worker in the family's California home.
The Daily Mail reports that as their lawyers continue working on a divorce settlement in advance of the divorce being filed, Schwarzenegger has been paying for his sons' private school bills. The newspaper reports that Shriver's lawyers are working to get a full estimation of his worth.
What couples entering divorce should consider is that every child has the right to be supported. But determining how much money is paid, who gets the money and the consequences of not paying are all important factors.
In Alabama, the court will consider several things before calculating child support payments. First, all relevant income of the parent ordered to provide child support is the first factor. If unemployed, the court will base its calculations on past earnings, likely future earning, the parent's education and other factors. The court may also take into consideration other factors as well.
Temporary child support orders may be put into place as soon as one spouse files a petition for divorce. It will remain in effect until the final divorce settlement. And the only way to terminate child support obligations is if the parent paying child support gives up their parental rights or if the parent receiving support abuses the child.
The court will not act as a monitoring agency for child support payments, but does have the authority in some cases to garnish wages or send a person to jail if they fail to make child support payments. Sometimes, an outside government child support agency can monitor these situations, but it is the parents' duty to govern this area.
Keep in mind that child support issues largely revolve around which parent gets custody after a divorce. So, making sure you hire an aggressive Birmingham Child Custody Lawyer is an important step to making sure you are able to have influence on and a strong relationship with your child after divorce. The court will take into consideration what is in the best interests of the child or children, so putting together an impressive array of information and witnesses is essential in persuading the judge in your case.
If you need to speak with a divorce lawyer in Birmingham, contact Eversole Law at 205-981-2450 for a free consultation.

Nebraska struggles to fund mental health services
November 15, 2017
COLUMBUS (AP) — A Nebraska lawmaker says the state is struggling to offer mental health services as it moves from state-run regional centers to locally run operations.
The state made the decision to switch from institution care to local programs more than a decade ago, The Columbus Telegram reported .
While the state has saved money by closing regional centers, local programs haven't received enough funding, said Sen. Paul Schumacher. That's led to a "real deficiency" in mental health services, particularly in rural communities, Schumacher said.

At Staxi were acutely aware of the issues that affect our customers and the changing dynamics of population and health issues that effect large sections of society. Diabetes is one such condition that effects large numbers worldwide and which is of great significance within the United States. The work conducted to gain further understanding of the condition has been significant; increasing education to improve its understanding and potential avoidance continues, whilst finding new and effective treatments give positive hope.
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Both types of diabetes are chronic diseases that affect the way your body regulates blood sugar, or glucose. Glucose is the fuel that feeds your body's cells, but to enter your cells it needs a key. Insulin is that key.
People with type 1 diabetes don't produce insulin. You can think of it as not having a key.
People with type 2 diabetes don't respond to insulin as well as they should and later in the disease often don't make enough insulin. You can think of this as having a broken key.
Both types of diabetes can lead to chronically high blood sugar levels. That increases the risk of diabetes complications.
An estimated 30.3 million (350 million people worldwide) of all ages—or 9.4% of the U.S. population—had diabetes in 2015.
The percentage of adults with diabetes increased with age, reaching a high of 25.2% among those aged 65 years or older
What's the cost? The total direct and indirect estimated cost of diagnosed diabetes in the United States in 2012 was $245 billion. Average medical expenditures for people with diagnosed diabetes were about $13,700 per year. About $7,900 of this amount was attributed to diabetes. After adjusting for age group and sex, average medical expenditures among people with diagnosed diabetes were about 2.3 times higher than expenditures for people without diabetes.
Most of us have a grasp on what diabetes is – Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn't make enough—or any—insulin or doesn't use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn't reach your cells.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems. Although diabetes has no cure, you can take steps to manage your diabetes and stay healthy.
Staxi is always looking at how we can promote awareness of conditions of patients and increase in knowledge and understanding.
The link to Staxi may seem like a tenuous one, however, the ability to control patient flow within a facility and manage patient needs with efficiency and dignity elevates much demand on the limited financial and staff resources, therefore the focus can be placed upon effective patient treatment time and optimized professional consultation.
Staxi provides a patient transportation solution that delivers a quantifiable ROI for years (many facilities still have their original chairs – purchased over 18 years ago!). the 600lb weight capacity standard medical chair is the ideal facility-wide transport solution (we also have the Staxi Max which gives a 1000lb user weight limit).

Have you heard of the phrase "the Sandwich Generation"? These are adults who have both dependent children and parents who are also in need of some care; often all requiring a significant part of the family finances to keep everything ticking over. Historically, most people with pensions in addition to the State Pension put most money into their pension between the ages of 50 and retirement. Therefore, these competing demands can make financial life a very complex balancing act!
As the population ages, there will be more family groups joining the Sandwich Generation and financial planning will need to be inter-generational or it will fail to be fit for purpose.
The two big financial hurdles for young adults, (after finding a job), are likely to be getting on the property ladder and minimizing or paying off student debt. A basic university education is likely to cost significantly more than £27,000, (just 3 years of tuition fees), with living expenses on top, without worrying about more expensive, longer courses like medicine or architecture. A deposit for a modest flat in London could easily be a similar figure, so doting parents could be looking to find £50,000 from their own resources at an inopportune moment.
Turning to the senior generation, it can get infinitely more complicated; it is not unknown for middle-aged children to find themselves funding care home fees for infirm parents for an indeterminate time and at increasing expense, with little on no access to resources from the State or the parents in care.
Let me illustrate this with an extreme, but entirely plausible scenario, involving three generations.
Jon and Sue are both 52 years old and have a daughter, Teri, 22, who has just graduated and has just started work in London as a web author. Jon's parents are in their early 70s, fit and healthy, but Sue's are much older; her father has dementia and her mother, his carer has just had a stroke. Neither of them have wills or powers of attorney, so social services have approached Jon and Sue, now that both parents will need to go into residential care.
Sue's parents owned their own home and have significant savings, £95,000, so although social services have provided a care assessment, they are unwilling or unable to provide any other support. Jon and Sue have to find a care home, so find a home they like the look of, that Sue's parents can both stay in, but does not have a Local Authority rate and will not accept part funded residents. As time is pressing, Jon and Sue get her parents moved into the home and make payments personally, pending a sort-out of her parent's finances and selling the old family home.
Just as the dust settles, Teri asks if they could act as guarantor and could she have a loan of £25,000 for the deposit on a flat she likes in easy reach of her new job. As an only child, Teri is a little spoilt, so the house deposit and the guarantee is given without much thought to the consequences.
In the meantime, the residential home has asked for a significant rise in the fees payable as Sue's parents are much more dependent than expected. Jon and Sue are not too concerned, as they believe it will not be too much trouble to meet the fees from the parent's resources.
Now they hit a snag, Sue's mother is no longer able to access the joint bank account, as the bank no longer recognizes her signature. Jon and Sue do not have power of attorney for either parent, so they can no longer access the parent's savings, neither can they sell the family home.
After many months' delay and £10,000 in legal fees, the Court of Protection grants Jon and Sue powers of administration, but the majority of the £95,000 is now used to pay off loans taken out by Jon and Sue to fund care fees and the legal fees incurred in accessing the money in the first place.
At this point Jon and Sue realize that they are in trouble; her parent's house has deteriorated while it was unoccupied and the estate agent has suggested that it is only worth £125,000 in its current state, which they calculate could easily be spent in 18 months and with no end in sight.
In situations like these, there can be no happy ending, the best we can hope for is a least-worst outcome, but without some pre-planning and knowledge of how the care system functions, one possible outcome is:
- Jon and Sue remain the contracted party to the care home, until they are declared bankrupt.
- They never get to top up their pensions, so will be poorer in retirement than their parents.
- Teri loses her flat, as without a guarantor, she cannot find a mortgage provider and has to sell.
- Sue's parents are forced to leave the current care home and are re-homed separately, eventually funded by the NHS and social services. By the time the parent's home is sold, there is no inheritance for Sue.
In an ideal world, Sue's parents would have a will and power of attorney in place; the liability for the care home fees would have fallen on Sue's parents rather than Jon and Sue and with some management of their declining funds and a regular reassessment of their care needs, Sue would ultimately have received a small inheritance. Jon and Sue would add to their retirement funds and Teri would have enough saved for a flat deposit on her own, (although mostly gifted to her by grandparents and parents!) The early use of professional financial advice makes the ideal scenario much more likely – ideally personalised advice for each generation.

|Facility Status:
Founded in 1986 as an autonomous institution funded by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), the Institute for Plasma Research (IPR) is ultimately dedicated to the development of nuclear fusion as an energy source. The institute conducts experimental and theoretical research in plasma physics, focusing on the physics of magnetically confined hot plasmas and non-linear plasmas. The institute is home to the Aditya tokamak. (A tokamak is a toroidal or doughnut shaped plasma containment device. As part of normal operations, most tokamaks remove and recycle small amounts of tritium which is a vital component in thermonuclear weapons.) The Aditya Tokamak is primarily used to sustain high plasma current at a high temperature that is confined by magnetic fields. Aditya, the first indigenously built tokamak in India, is a medium-sized tokamak that produces a plasma stream with a major radius of 0.75m and a minor radius of 0.25m. Since its original construction over a decade ago, the Aditya has gradually been upgraded with the integration of various discharge cleaning systems and online diagnostics.
A second project of the IPR is research and development of a Steady-state Superconducting Tokamak-1 (SST-1). The SST-1 is a further step in the development of a tokamak reactor as well as the development of nuclear fusion technologies. In addition, the institute conducts "basic experiments" on plasma and trains India's future plasma physicists and technologists.

What is the value of your ideas, dreams, and goals? I talk to so many people on a daily basis and I hear about dreams deferred, ideas that don't manifest and goals not met. It pains me to hear this because I was there at one point in my life and I know it doesn't have to be this way. So what changed for me? I became accountable to someone.
What is accountability? This is when two people come together in agreement on one goal. It is also when a person has committed to coming along side you to keep you on track with the goals you have set for yourself. Coaches are accountability partners. They help you see what is possible by removing the things that are blocking your vision.
Literally every successful person I know has someone they are accountable to. Accountability can bring life to your ideas. Think of Mark Zuckerburg, do you believe we would have Facebook if he didn't have an accountability partner? Someone he had in his inner circle that was equipped to ask the right questions to help him birth the fullness of his ideas. How about Steve Jobs, Oprah, or Tony Robbins? Believe me they all had someone that saw their potential and helped them manifest their ideas.
I believe we all have world-class ideas that could literally change the trajectory of our lives. Every one of us wasborn with enormous amounts of potential. So why is it that our dreams, ideas and goals don't come to life? Basically,we don't dedicate the quality time necessary to labor our ideas to birth. Let's be honest, in the activity of our daily lives our ideas and dreams are nothing but a mere nuisance, they could even be a source of frustration, so we just put them to the sidelines.
I would like to offer you a new perspective.Consider dedicating1-houra week to focus on your ideas, dreams, goals, and ultimately your possibilities. This one small act could change your life forever! I have seen it happen!It is such a small sacrifice to make for a potential dream deferred.
So, again, I present the Value Proposition: What valuedo you place on your ideas, dreams and goals? How important is it for you to discover what is possible and start taking the steps to get there? Whether it's finding that new job; starting a new business; saving for retirement; getting in shape; finding the love of your life or enjoying the love you have; or just being happy. It all begins with taking your first step.

It was the perfect day. The sun was shining brightly, and there was hardly anyone in sight. Together with five other people, we boarded the Anda, a beautiful 38ft speed boat which was going to take us to the beautiful waters of the famous Ang Thong Marine Park. Known for its crystal clear waters, emerald colored lagoon, and of course, the 42 jagged islands with pristine beaches, this is a spot not to be missed. Between the limestone cliffs, the stunningly beautiful landscape, and the diverse marine wildlife, we quickly understood why a trip to Ang Thong National Marine Park is a must for people traveling around Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

Koh Samui Boat Charter
After doing our research, we found out that there were loads of boat providers offering tours of the Marine Park. In fact, after walking along busy parts of Koh Samui like Chaweng and Lamai, it was slightly overwhelming trying to find a tour which wasn't too crowded. For this reason, we decided to partner up with Samui Boat Charter, a company with a fleet of luxury speedboats, yachts, and sailboards so we could truly experience the beauty of the marine park. Samui Boat Charter recently started doing VIP tours of the Ang Thong Marine Park and have gained nothing but fabulous reviews so we decided to give it a go.
Coincidentally, we also timed our trip perfectly because we went the day after the full moon party which meant there was hardly anyone there. Aboard the Samui Boat Charter, we were given a quick orientation of where we were heading. Together with a fantastic boat crew, a small group of other travelers, and a cooler full of soda and beer, we began our journey. Soon, we were heading towards the horizon as we gazed out into a sea of blues, heading for the marine park, excited about the day that was about to come.
Our Ang Thong Marine Park Experience
During the entire trip, one thing was clear. We could take as long as we wanted leisurely enjoying and making the most out of each part of the journey. Our guide didn't stick to any particular route or plan. He said as soon as we got to the Marine Park, that was when he would decide which activity to do first. They do this to avoid other boat and tour companies to try to provide you with the most personalized experience possible.
Around us, you could see the glistening jagged peaks of the little islands spread all around us. Some had limestone rocks protruding, some had little stretches of white sandy beaches. It was truly a vision to see. It's no wonder Alex Garland, author of the iconic book, The Beach used this place along with Phi Phi island as his inspiration when writing about this Utopian Paradise. The water was an unreal color of blues and greens, just beckoning us to dive in and cool off.

Snorkeling and Sea Kayaking in Ang Thong Marine Park
We stopped in one part of the island so we could enjoy the snorkeling. The staff and crew of the Anda quickly started preparing everything, ready for us to just jump in the water and enjoy. They had top of the line snorkel gear and fins, which was a relief as in our experience, we usually end up with snorkel masks that fogged quickly and ill fitted fins. Here, everything was up to par to make sure we had a good time.
Our guide jumped in the water with us and led our group to his favorite spots around the small island, pointing at interesting things like giant clams and trigger fish along the way. While we didn't get the best visibility while we were there, the water was still clear enough to enjoy a couple of hours snorkeling. Around the marine sanctuary, there are a couple of areas which have great snorkeling, with one area even boasting of reef shark sightings when the visibility is good. After we got back on the boat, we had a quick fresh water shower and proceeded to a beach where we could enjoy some sea kayaking.
My word of advice, if you have the chance to, definitely go kayaking! Our guide led us through some rocky overhangs and a few cool caves and caverns. He even led us inside this tiny cave where the water between the ocean and the salt water lagoon passes through. It was definitely a great experience. The kayaks were in great condition and were stored on a nearby island which was also nice to swim in.

The Ang Thong Marine Park View Point
There are two viewpoints within the Ang Thong Marine Park, with each boasting stellar views. From the viewpoint that we went to, you could also see the emerald waters of the lake from where we were. Interestingly enough, the entire lake is full of salt water and is due to a large sinkhole. When we got up to the top after scaling a series of steps and stairs, we couldn't help but stop and gaze at the slew of islands glistening below us. While the other view point gives you a much more direct view of the islands, the entire place was very picturesque and peaceful. The best part was that we were the only group that was there. Talk about perfect timing as earlier on, when we kayaked by, there were two other boat tour groups competing to get the perfect shot.

Samui Boat Charter VIP Snorkeling Trip Inclusions
Throughout the day, we were given access to a cold cooler full of drinks, fresh fruit, and a hearty lunch.

We were served a buffet meal made up of shrimp tempuras, sweet and sour chicken, salad, vegetables, soup, and fried rice. The food was delicious and was a great break from the usual pre-packaged fried rice and noodles that most tour groups serve.

When you are looking for the best possible platform for lawyer websites, there are a few things that it will need to have and that it will need to do. Making sure that you don't settle for a platform that is going to offer you less will ensure that your customers feel that you are extremely professional and that you are doing the best possible work that you can for their cases.
As most people know, being able to trust your lawyer is important and most people are going to base a large amount of their willingness to trust off of their first impressions. This is why law offices look so nice and at times imposing, when they could look much more sterile. This process has been repeated online by ensuring that most law websites look clean, well organized, imposing at times, and like the lawyer whom they are representing is a consummate professional. A good platform will be able to aid lawyers in their quest to make a good impression, rather than hampering it. Here are some tips from a Jacksonville Lawyer website designers.
The first thing that a good platform will need to offer is the ability to make both the lawyer and their future clients feel that the information that they are providing is secure. People send a surprising amount of information to lawyers through online forms and a platform that is unable to ensure the security of this information is not one that any lawyer needs to put their website on. The first thing that you should check is how the information that comes through the website is being stored and that it will be dealt with in a manner that does not violate the privilege that exists between a lawyer and their client.
The next thing that you need to check is that they are going to support modern coding and layout styles. This should be included in all different platforms, but some are simply unable to keep up with the times. If you choose one that has not opened itself up to important improvements in web design, you may find that you are not able to bring in as many clients as you want. This is because people will see an unprofessional website or a more dated on and assume that it is not done by a professional or that the lawyer has gone out of business.
The next thing that you need to look for is a platform that is stable and is able to operate without a large number of different interruptions. This again goes towards making you look like a professional, but also goes towards the ability for you to get more clients. If someone can't find your website, or if it goes down while they are navigating the site, they will simply look for a different lawyer. This may mean that you lose cases that would be perfect for you and that you could easily win.
Overall, when you are looking for a good hosting platform for your lawyer website, you should treat the process just like you treat getting an office in the real world. You want something that will be easy for your clients to access and that will give them a good impression of you from the first time that they see it. You want to make sure that they feel comfortable and that you never have to apologize to them for not treating their information with the respect that it deserves. Finally, you want something that is reflection of you professionally, that says you mean business.

May 8th West Central Texas Storm Chase - Wall Clouds and a Shelf Cloud
05-08-07 CHASE LOG: TX The film crew for "Twister Sisters" decided to take a day off...but that didn't stop the myself, MaryLynn, the Twister Sisters, Beau Gjerdingen and Eric Whitehill from going after a squall line that was racing across western Texas through the day! We wanted to show our guests a good time so we took off from Amarillo by late morning, trying to get ahead of the squall line that was racing east of Lubbock. We finally ended up getting far enough ahead to stop and get some pictures near Throckmorton, Texas. There were a pair of supercells out ahead of the main line of storms that each had non-rotating wall clouds upon moving north through our area. We did get some photos, but all agreed that they would not amount to much due to the squall line likely to overtake both storms soon. The squall line had one of the best shelf clouds I have ever seen and we let this overtake us at our position, all the while staying outside and feeling the full power of the winds that were gusting around 40 mph. The shelf moved overhead and had a very nice underbelly that we viewed before the rain hit and we called it a day. This was actually a very fun and relaxing chase day as all we had to do was get out ahead of the shelf cloud and wait for it to hit us. Plus we got to view a couple of supercells out ahead of the main line, which was a pleasant surprise to say the least. Check out the photos below!
Impressive updraft with a supercell ahead of the squall line and with wall cloud underneath as well as some striations.
Nicely structured wall cloudy developing underneath the supercell ahead of the approaching squall line.
MaryLynn and I in front of the wall cloud moving our north by a few miles.
Awesome shelf cloud about to overtake us with 40 mph winds and very heavy rain. Check out the shark teeth!
The underbelly of the shelf cloud that has just overtaken us. What a sight this was with all of the intense motion, horizontal and vertical.
