6 Healthy Pregnancy Myths - Busted!/
Whether you're about to try for a baby or are expecting, many women find themselves looking at their diet. Old wives tales and myths abound when it comes to pregnancy. Here are six myths - busted - so you can take care of yourself, and your baby.
Myth: You need to eat for two
This myth is pervasive, and you'll face legions of well-meaning family members, friends and coworkers offering you goodies once you let them know you're expecting. The fact is, gaining too much weight in pregnancy puts both you and your baby at risk, upping the risk of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia and a C-section and increasing your child's risk of obesity and birth defects. While you do need extra calcium, iron, folate, fiber and other nutrients, you actually don't need more calories until the second trimester. Even then, if you began your pregnancy at a normal weight you will only need an additional 300 calories a day in the second and third trimesters.
Myth: You shouldn't exercise or start exercising
Back in the day, pregnant women were told to rest and eat up, and even recently it was recommended to only exercise if you had already been doing so. Now things are changing, and pregnancy is considered a great time to introduce healthy habits. Recommendations for pregnant women are the same as for non-pregnant women - 20 to 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. The list of benefits is impressive: less gestational diabetes, less risk of c-section, less low back pain, less preeclampsia, and lower frequency of urinary incontinence. Women are also less likely to give birth to babies over 8 lbs 13 ounces (called macrosomia), which reduces these children's risk of obesity later in life. Bonus: exercising may help during labor, and being a strong mama can help your recovery post birth as well.
While exercise gets the green light, there are a few precautions to take. It can be easier to overheat while pregnant, so exercises like long-distance running or exercising in extremely hot conditions should be avoided. Make sure to stay hydrated. Weight lifting is iffy, though it's generally accepted that you can lift what you did before pregnancy and build slowly if desired. In some women, laying on their backs causes weight to press on major blood vessels, so it is recommended not to do exercises in a supine position. Abdominal exercises, such as crunches, may increase the risk of diastasis recti, when the abdominal walls separate. This occurs in 2/3rds of pregnancies, but it varies in severity. Don't be scared off by these precautions - the benefits far outweigh the risks!
Myth: You shouldn't eat fish
Many people, both pregnant and not pregnant, find fish recommendations confusing. You may know that you should go for low-mercury fish, but when you're standing at the fish counter it can be hard to tell what's what.
Here's some good news - one study found that the benefits of eating fish during pregnancy outweighed the risks from mercury. In fact, women in the study who ate 21 ounces of fish a week, way over the 12 ounces currently recommended, had children whose IQ scores were about 3 points higher and had reduced rates of autism. Fish contain omega-3s, like DHA, that are important for brain development in babies, and may reduce the risk of postpartum depression in mamas, too.
Look for low-mercury fish like salmon, cod, shrimp, and tilapia. Avoid swordfish, tilefish, shark, tuna, and other large fish. Remember, the longer a fish lives and grows, the more mercury it accumulates. If you love a tuna sandwich, you'll be happy to know that canned light tuna has lower levels of mercury than regular tuna, but it's a safe bet to stick to one can a week. If you've never cooked fish and you're nervous, our Honey Garlic Broiled Salmon and Parmesan Panko Baked Cod are SUPER easy, we promise!
Myth: You need an iron supplement
This really varies from individual to individual. Your OBGYN will test your levels and let you know if you should supplement. About 15-25% of women are anemic while pregnant, according to the American Pregnancy Association. If you don't have low levels though, iron supplements can cause constipation and nausea, annoyances pregnant women already frequently suffer from. Remember you can find iron in all sorts of foods besides meat, like in leafy greens and fortified cereals. Eating vitamin C at the same time helps you absorb iron from non-meat sources, so add a splash of lemon to your hummus or for a snack eat an orange with a handful of nuts.
Myth: You shouldn't go on a diet
While it's ideal to be a healthy weight before becoming pregnant, you can still have a healthy pregnancy if you become pregnant while overweight. Depending on your weight, it may be recommended to gain very little or no weight during pregnancy. Remember, though that babies need glucose and many nutrients to grow, so it's important to find the right balance. This can be really tricky, so your best bet is to speak to a registered dietitian or your OBGYN so you can get it right. Below is the recommended weight gain, based on your BMI:
- 18.5-24.9 BMI → Gain 25 to 35 pounds
- 25–29.9 BMI → Gain 15 to 25 pounds
- Over 30 BMI → Gain 11 to 20 pounds
Myth: You should cut out caffeine
So far, there are no conclusive studies on the exact levels that are safe during pregnancy. Current recommendations are based off of animal studies that noted increased risk of infertility, miscarriage and birth defects but only when caffeine was ingested in excessive amounts. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, recommend keeping your daily caffeine consumption under 200 milligrams to be safe, so you don't have to cut out a cup or two of coffee. A standard 8 ounce cup of coffee contains about 95 mg of caffeine while tea contains about 50 mg caffeine.

Are you about to leave work with nothing planned for Valentine's Day tonight?
It's ok, slow down, catch your breath.
You aren't screwed, just scroll down...
Play Hooky
What's more romantic than chucking a sickie together, err I mean being unable leave each other's side, even for work?
You and your lover could always plan to leave work together at lunch and say you had an afternoon appointment or because you're feeling ill. Spend the rest of the day in bed instead!
Make sure you actually both get the afternoon off though!
Worst case scenario: You're at home alone because your partner couldn't pull off a convincing enough fake cough.
If you do find yourself at home alone, use the time to plan a romantic night with some of the below suggestions!
Couples Yoga
Why not try your luck for a romantic evening with a bit of 'Partner Yoga for Lovers' over at Bloom Yoga in Duncraig.
Develop some strength, fitness and awareness together with your partner and other like-minded couples.
This is a great unconventional idea for a date that'll get you communicating, working together, up close and intimate with one another and most importantly, having loads of fun as a couple!
Stop in at our Duncraig store to say Hi to our Barons Andrew & Michael who share a combined industry experience of over 50 years. While you're there, pick up a 6 pack of beers or a bottle of wine to enjoy after your class.
If you behave yourself, and you're lucky, then bae might agree to go to Boo Ze Yin Beer Yoga in Burswood next time.
Building a Love Garden
Spend a whole day together in the backyard planting together. Don't forget a few ice cold white rum mojitos with fresh mint from the backyard as you dig.
As a final gift, bae gets a brand new garden of love to enjoy for years to come.
Pinot & A Painting Class with Bob Ross
This one requires a bit of prep and planning but looks like a blast.
Duck out of the office early to visit the art supplies store. Grab a bottle of Pinot, two easels, canvases and a couple of paintbrushes. Pop Bob Ross on Youtube.
Your partner should walk in the door to a glass of vino and softly candle-lit room while Bob whispers quietly about how fun it is to wash his brushes.
Follow along carefully and "beat the devil out if it" all night long.
Python & Pizza Night
Avoid those cliche romance flicks at all costs today.
All the Monty Python movies are an epic choice for a movie marathon night, they'll never get old.
Cue up your favourites while you pick up a quality pizza to munch on and listen to the cries of the sacred word "Nee" or talk of shrubberies.
Build a Time Capsule
This is a great way to declutter all that sentimental
relationshipy crap nostalgia you and your partner can't bring yourselves to throw out. Bury it in the backyard instead!
Throw in some cool items you would love to rediscover and rummage through in half a century with your partner.
While you're turning the house upside down looking for things to send heroicly into the future, why not mix up some appropriately themed Time Traveller cocktails?
Write tiny fortune cookie-sized love notes to one another and fill the empty Tanqueray bottle with them to add your time capsule.

- 1 tsp homemade butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 slice 100% whole wheat whole grain toast

Next, heat homemade butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Set the bell pepper down in the skillet and crack an egg in the middle of each ring.

Tiplady, C. M., Walsh, D. B., & Phillips, C. J. C. (2017). The Animals are All I Have: Domestic Violence, Companion Animals, and Veterinarians. Society & Animals.
This article describes a study of thirteen women who had lived with companion animals during a domestic violence relationship. The women were interviewed in order to investigate how animals were affected by the violence, as well as how veterinarians were involved. Most women reported that companion animals had been abused or neglected by their partners, and they had delayed leaving due to concerns for animals left in the home. Affected animals most commonly demonstrated protection of the woman, and avoidance or aggression towards the partner. Only one woman confided to a veterinarian that she and her animals were living with domestic violence, and in four cases women's partners had prevented them from accessing veterinary care. It is recommended that veterinarians are educated on issues regarding animal guardianship during domestic violence to enhance their ability to provide knowledgeable and compassionate support when confronted with these cases in practice.

Now it's 2018, and things are different. Health care is a top issue for midterm voters, and polling shows that more Americans now support the current health care law than oppose it. For Republicans, that's a problem. For Democrats, it's an opportunity.
Across the country, health care has been a centerpiece of Democratic campaign platforms as candidates try to put Republicans on the defensive. Democrats are lining up in support of a provision included in the ACA that protects coverage for preexisting conditions.
The weird thing is … so are Republicans. Despite spending nearly a decade beating the drum for a full repeal of Obamacare, conservatives like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are now saying that "everyone agrees that we are going to protect preexisting conditions."
But what do they mean by that? Just last year, Republicans came close to passing a health care bill that would have stripped Americans of protections for preexisting conditions without offering a comparable plan to replace them.
The hypocrisy is astounding.
In the past month, candidates from both sides have gone all-in on the fight over preexisting conditions. Republicans are running ads saying they've worked hard to protect them, while Democrats are rushing to say that's not true. While both parties are now saying they've fought to protect coverage for preexisting conditions, the record clearly shows that Republicans have maintained a longstanding effort to remove them.
To be fair, the Trump administration has revealed a new plan to protect Americans with preexisting conditions, or so they say. On closer inspection, it looks a lot like a plan to create loopholes to avoid them.
Whether Republicans have actually had a change of heart or are just working to appeal to midterms voters remains to be seen.

Offline and out of touch
We recently went to Vegas on vacation and during the trip spent several days at Red Rock Canyon. It was a beautiful spot and a lot of fun to explore.
We brought our usual geocaching setup — Garmin 60csx for navigation and bcaching.com on the Motorola Droid for paperless info and field notes. Verizon gives us pretty good coverage and we can usually access bcaching.com from almost anywhere, but we weren't so lucky in the canyon where it was spotty at best. Usually we had no signal at all.
If you're using Blackstar on the blackberry (one of the few apps to currently support the bcaching API to access your geocaching data and store it locally in the phone) it's not a big deal because you can load the caches into the device when you have a signal then you're good to go whether you have a signal or not.
But if you're using the mobile website only, it becomes woefully inadequate with no signal. We could still find traditionals since they were loaded into the garmin, but we didn't have the information we needed to do earth caches and multis. We also couldn't record field notes after each find/dnf so we kept track of what we did in the garmin and plugged them into bcaching later.
What would be nice is if more mobile geocaching app developers would take advantage of the bcaching API… like geobeagle or georg for android, cachemate, etc.
Another possibility is to take advantage of html5 features that have been showing up in various mobile browsers, especially webkit. Using application caching, local storage and even local SQL databases it would be possible for a well written web app to function reasonably well without a reliable signal.

2 tenants critical, 2 firefighters recovering after 4-alarm firePosted: Updated:
Two tenants are in critical condition and two firefighters are recovering after a massive four-alarm fire in Hunts Point.
The fire broke out early this afternoon at 754 Manida St. and took 200 firefighters more than three hours to get under control.
Firefighters say the fire started in a fourth-floor apartment and then jumped to an adjacent home.
Fire officials report that two of the firefighters were electrocuted and are recovering in the Cornell Medical Burn Unit; 13 other firefighters were taken to Jacobi Medical Center.
The Red Cross and a missionary group helped those affected find housing, clothing and provided food.
Officials say they are investigating the cause of the fire.

Ryan Bourne – Supermodern World of Beauty
Light and dark. Exultation and despair. Love and death… Supermodern World Of Beauty, the debut offering by Calgary musician Ryan Bourne, is a kaleidoscopic descent into a realm of contrast. It is sprawling and sparse, joyful and pensive, raucous and delicate. Evocative vocals, raw guitars, analog circuitry and homemade effects crackle and soar where unabashed songcraft, meet the outer limits of psychedelic rock.
From the bouncy opener "Calling From Beyond", to the beautifully mournful "Serves You Right", the ten songs collected on Supermodern World Of Beauty comprise a raw, psychedelic, era-defying mosaic, with echoes of influences as diverse as Syd Barrett, Bach, late GBV, the Beach Boys, The Flaming Lips, Willem DeKooning, Indian philosophy, the torture of heartbreak, Calgary sunsets, and the ceaseless flow of moments in a day.
Supermodern World Of Beauty was produced, arranged and recorded by Jay Crocker (Ghostkeeper, Lorrie Matheson, Mark Davis) in the spring and fall of 2008 at Artunit, Crocker's fully analog studio. With the help of Bourne's stalwart bandmates Steve Fletcher (Woodpigeon, MBF, Jay Crocker) on keys and Eric Hamelin (Chad VanGaalen, Nomoreshapes) on drums, along with a handful of Calgary's finest including Scott Munro (VanGaalen, Crocker, Gunther) on bass, and Jon May (Polyjesters, Cam Penner) on drums, Bourne and Crocker concoct a polychromatic magic while maintaining the singleness of a classic album. The result is a contemporary psych-pop gem.

Classical signal theory
Methodological reductionism is a driving force of scientific thinking. Unlike the more controversial, and philosophically dubious, connotations of the term, methodological reductionism embodies a general principle of intellectual parsimony. It does not establish debatable hierarchies among pedagogically distinct scientific areas, it does not seek to identify equally controversial ultimate constituents of reality. Instead, it attempts the consolidation of a collection of more or less intuitively connected items into a more general item, of which they become refinements or specializations.

Moreover, the concept of \multimedia social networks" can be applied into the ¯eld of signal and image processing. If each pixel/sample is treated as a user, then the whole image/signal can be regarded as a multimedia social network. From such a perspective, we introduce a new paradigm for signal and image processing, and develop generalized and uni¯ed frameworks for classical signal and image prob- lems. In this thesis, we use image denoising and image interpolation as examples to illustrate how to use game theory to re-formulate the classical signal and image processing problems....

Gloria Estefan Shouts Out 2007 at 2017 NYE – VIDEO
Gloria Estefan thought the year was 2007 instead of 2017 during her performance on New Year's Eve.
The Cuban singer performed in New York City to help bring in the new year…but she was bringing in the wrong one.
While hyping up the audience she made mention of it being almost 2017 – but instead said 2007…teen!
She saved the moment by adding the word 'teen' after awkwardly giving out a decade-old shoutout. We love bloopers! WATCH the vid!

Experienced museum staff have been asked to donate a portion of their salary to new lower-paid workers in an in-house effort to resolve a long-running dispute over weekend payments, MSPs have heard.
National Museums Scotland (NMS) staff have complained of a "two-tier workforce", with long-serving staff earning an extra allowance for working weekends which has been withdrawn for those more recently appointed. The dispute has already seen strike action – including a walkout last week – and dispute resolution service Acas has been called in to mediate between NMS bosses and the PCS union.
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said it would cost the government £394,000 a year – amounting to £1.2 million over the current government spending period – to provide weekend allowances to all staff.
Labour MSP Sarah Boyack told MSPs that "some of NMS's members have been asked to donate some of their salary to other low-paid members".
She said: "How can that be acceptable? If affordability is the issue, how can the Cabinet Secretary think it acceptable for the government to spend £150,000 on a commercially-viable profit-making enterprise like T in the Park rather than sorting out this long-term, debilitating, reputationally-damaging dispute?"
SNP MSP Jim Eadie said: "The mood of the workforce who I met on the picket line last week is steadfast in its opposition to a two-tier workforce which has been imposed by the management without appropriate consultation."
He called on Ms Hyslop to encourage parties to come to a resolution "that provides fairness in the workplace and brings to an end a dispute that is damaging the reputation of NMS and has gone on for far too long".
Ms Hyslop said: "In order to introduce a new weekend allowance for staff, it would cost £1.2m over the next spending review.
"I would point out over the last spending review, which took place at the time of changes back in 2010/11, there has been no request from any member of parliament to implement a change which would provide £1.2m required to do what the PCS is asking for."
The Scottish Government has been accused of "cronyism" for handing £150,000 to T in the Park organisers to help them locate from Kinross to Strathallan following successful lobbying by former government special adviser Jennifer Dempsie.
Ms Hyslop said: "In order to address the issue [at NMS], we would have to find £394,000 a year to address an increase and provide an additional allowance.
"There are proposals on the table to address the issue of low pay in that sector.
"I hope every employer, whether it's public sector, charity as is the case with NMS, or others, would be seeking to resolve that, but it is a real task.
"There is an offer that has been provided to PCS and I would encourage them to get round the table to discuss it with Acas and address it."

According to Baer, the federal code's failure to distinguish fraud crimes in degrees (e.g., "first degree fraud," "second degree fraud," and so forth) is problematic, especially at a time when critics claim the federal government simultaneously overcriminalizes and underenforces white-collar crime. Baer contends that the ungraded statutory regime generates self-destructive expressive gaps—delivering mixed signals about what the law intends. "Graded criminal codes rely on legislatively written criminal statutes to make categorical distinctions. Ungraded codes collect a large amount of behavior under the same statutory umbrella," she writes. This creates confusion. A minor fraud offender can be charged under the same offense as a more serious offender. As a result, society fails to learn—from the statute itself—how seriously the government views the underlying offense. At the same time, Baer argues, lack of gradation means that the legislature never hashes out—in an open and deliberative way—the factors that make some fraud crimes qualitatively worse than others. Baer proposes ways in which the federal government might go about grading fraud—as states do homicide, robbery, and other crimes—including by making use of white-collar misdemeanors and low-level felonies. In an online response to Baer's paper, Lauren Ouziel, Associate Professor at Temple University Beasley School of Law, writes that, although she concurs with Baer that white-collar crime generates expressive gaps, the answer might lie instead with altering enforcement priorities: "Should we change federal penal statutes to better reflect enforcement realities by adding misdemeanor provisions or other lower degrees of culpability? Or should we endeavor to change enforcement patterns to better effectuate statutes' aims?" she asks. Baer's article suggests, however, that this is the problem: the fraud statutes themselves are too opaque and too broad to promote effective enforcement. Bloomberg Opinion columnist Matt Levine has also taken notice of Baer's proposal and agrees with her premise: "It is easy and probably correct to say that the white-collar laws reflect society's views that all types of white-collar crime are serious and therefore deserve condemnation, but you still need a ranking," he writes. At the Law School, Baer is associate director of the Center for the Study of Business Law and Regulation and teaches in the areas of corporate law, white collar crime, criminal law, and criminal procedure. She has been a frequent commentator on legal issues related to the white-collar crime, including the Special Counsel's investigation into Russia's interference with the 2016 presidential election.

Are you confused in your relationship? Are you feeling confused about your love? Oh, not to worry, it is not a big deal. It happens and you can even sort it out easily. You just need to take time and evaluate how you feel. There are so many things which make you fall into confusion before getting into a relationship. Relationships are integral parts of our life that drive our overall growth process. So, clear all your confusions what you have in your mind before entering into a relationship.
When You Are Confused In A Relationship
I am going to share what to do when you are feeling confused in a relationship in this post. Maintaining a healthy relationship is not an easy task. You need to handle each and every moment of a relationship carefully. Make sure that you will be able to take care of your relationship beautifully before entering into it. If you think you can do it then go ahead. However, you have some confusions whether to go for the relationship or not, go through the post.
Don't Rush Into A Relationship
Keep always in mind that you should take a decision slowly before anything. Take your time as well as give time to your partner to know each other. Discuss frankly what you want to and let the partner know what kind of person you are. Do not be hesitate to say what do you feel about your love. Do not go for the relationship that because of you are getting bored being single. Do not rush, let your natural feeling comes out for your partner.
Try To Communicate With Your Partner
Needless to say that communication is the best way to know each other. No matter how busy you are but try to give some time to your partner as much as you can. It helps you to know your partner's feels for you and yours as well. So, find a good time, make a conversation and clear all doubts about the relationship.
Do Not Be Afraid To Be Frank
Oh yeah, only communication does not matter if you do not share your feelings with your partner. Always respect your guts and tell the truth. If you hesitate to say what you are feeling, the relationship never can be grown. Do not forget to listen to your partner's inner feeling. Unlike you, your partners may have confusion for the relationship.
Spend Time & Make Fun Together
Communication is not enough to make a relationship. You should spend time together to know each other. So, try to make a dinner date, outing etc to know each other's interest and thoughts. When you start spending time and having fun together, you can examine your fears and insecurities.
So, Before getting into a relationships think deeply and take a decision. Do not get into a relationship only because of your boredom or your friends are in a relationship.

Today, I am delighted to have been asked to launch the European Thrombosis and Haemostasis Alliance, together with my colleague Aldo Patriciello, and the European Thrombosis and Haemostasis Alliance (ETHA) at an event titled "Tackling Non-Communicable Diseases: EU leadership in thrombosis and haemostasis research"
The event will address the burden of thrombosis and haemostasis in Europe and the need for greater recognition of medical research in the field of non-communicable diseases, in particular thrombosis, in the upcoming Framework Programme 9.
For almost a year now, I have chaired the European Parliament Working Group on innovation, access to medicines and poverty-related diseases. In this Working Group the focus on health is directed more towards developing countries and the difficulties patients face when trying to access treatment.
As you may already know, 1 in 4 people worldwide die of conditions related to blood clots. Cardiovascular disorders caused by thrombosis cost EU health systems around 1.5 to 2.2 billion EURO per year in direct costs, while indirect costs such as disability and productive life years lost are estimated to be as high as 13.2 billion EURO per year.
We know that in Europe, but not only, there is a rapid increase in chronic diseases coupled by an ageing population, so we are expecting these figures to rise year on year.
The European Commission has already funded a number of research projects on thrombosis and haemostasis, and I am hoping they will do the same with the next round of funding.
Many people are not aware of the signs and symptoms to watch for and so many cases deteriorate unnoticed, leading to preventable premature deaths.
As a politician, I would like to see the Commission taking this matter seriously and directing some of the FP9 funding towards supporting medical research, mission projects and promoting best practices among EU member states.
In order to see real change happening, we need more thorough awareness raising by public health authorities and better education about thrombosis and haemostasis among the general population. We also need to see more consistency when it comes to applying preventative measures, in order to reduce the rates of preventable clots. This is a cross-cutting public health issue which could be tackled from various angles, from physical exercise to diet and more widely available literature.
Finally I would like to make a point about the negative impact Brexit will have on access to health care on the Island of Ireland if cross-border health care is jeopardised in the negotiations.
At the moment, cancer and cardiac care and ENT surgery are among those services now provided on a cross-border basis in certain areas. More specifically, cardiac treatment in Derry is available to patients from Co Donegal and pediatric cardiac surgery services in Dublin are available for children from Northern Ireland.

First, a word about quinoa in case you've never heard of it (with thanks to South Beach Diet online for the following information):
Move over couscous — there's a new grain in town, quinoa (pronounced keen-wa). Actually, quinoa isn't new at all — it's been grown for thousands of years in the Peruvian Andes and has been a staple in some South American diets for centuries. North Americans are just beginning to discover quinoa's unique nutritional makeup and versatility.
Quinoa grains are the seeds of a leafy, spinach-like plant. The Incas referred to quinoa as the "mother grain" because of its high protein content — the highest amongst the grains — and because it's a great source of vitamins and minerals, particularly potassium, the B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and copper.
Quinoa is as easy to make and use as rice, but cooks in half the time. To cook, rinse grains and combine one-and-three-quarters parts water with one part quinoa, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve it up as a side dish, as part of a one-pot meal, or as an addition to soups and stews. Any uncooked leftovers can be stored for several months in an airtight container.
Since quinoa is still relatively new to the American marketplace, at the moment you may only find it in specialty food stores or very large supermarkets. And though it can be expensive, keep in mind that besides its many nutritional benefits, it increases about three or four times in volume after cooking, which gives you more bang for your buck.
The recipe I like is below, but I also totally use it as a rice substitute on occasion.
Dena's Quinoa Pilaf
1 ¾ cups water or chicken stock
1 cup quinoa
½ cup shelled unsalted pistachios
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 small tomato
½ red onion
2 tsp white wine vinegar
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
(To turn it into a main course, I add sauteed veggie Italian sausage or diced chicken.)
Heat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse quinoa with a fine-mesh strainer.
Combine water (I use chicken stock to give it that nice rich flavor – low sodium and low fat, of course) and quinoa in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and place in a mixing bowl.
While quinoa is cooking, spread pistachios on a baking tray and bake until lightly browned and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Cool and roughly chop (I actually leave them whole).
Heat 1 tsp of oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red onion until they become fragrant and softened. Then add bell pepper, tomato, and scallion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add to quinoa, along with pistachios, vinegar, and remaining oil; stir to combine. If making it a main course, add protein. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

People always say that the best way to remember something is to write it down. I used to take it very seriously writing everything down during studying, reading a book and of course I used to make endless to-do lists. At some point I felt I was drowning in tones of colourful sticky notes surrounding me everywhere I go. I always thought this was a pretty good strategy to commit the material to memory.
Research suggests a more effective strategy to boost recall, and I'm happy to share this with you today. Instead of writing something down, draw it. As the lead author of the study explains:
"We pitted drawing against a number of other known encoding strategies, but drawing always came out on top. We believe that the benefit arises because drawing helps to create a more cohesive memory trace that better integrates visual, motor, and semantic information."
Drawing the information outperformed writing it down, creating mental images of it and viewing pictures of it. Indeed, a simple sketch turns out to be an excellent memory enhancer.
Don't freak out if you are not Picasso 😉 The good news is that the quality of the drawings doesn't seem to matter much. Taking four seconds to draw a rough picture is enough to gain a "huge advantage" in memory.

Ayew brothers named in Swansea preseason tour despite interests from other clubs
Black Stars forwards Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew have been named in Swansea City manager Graham Potter's preseason tour team despite interests from other clubs.
The Ghana duo have attracted interested from several clubs in Europe, with Fenerbahçe close to signing a season long loan deal with Andre who has also been linked with Besiktas.
Meanwhile, Jordan Ayew has been linked with Scottish giants, Celtic and Premier League club, Liverpool.
The Swans are due to fly out for an eight-day tour of Europe where they are expected to play two 60-minute games against FC Magdeburg and Genoa in Germany, before travelling to Austria to play friendlies against La Liga side, Eibar and Bundesliga side, SC Freiburg.
The Ayew brothers are expected to feature in these games as Swansea coach Graham Potter seizes the opportunity to access his side ahead of the upcoming Championship season.
Jordan, 26, was on terrific form last season as he scored 11 goals in 45 appearances and was named the club's Player of the Season, but his elder brother Andre managed just 12 appearances without a goal on his return to the Liberty stadium mid-season following an unsuccessful spell with West Ham United.

MiscreationSo I recently started playing a game called Path of Exile, and one of themes that appealed to me late in the game is the contrast of beauty and ugliness. One of the early bosses is a beautiful siren that slowly turned into a tentacle monster, the entire zone before her is sporadically peppered with illusions of her beautiful form beckoning you in.But particularly towards the end, there are two temples occupied by opposing sides at war with one another. In the former, you fight through golden statues originally in alluring poses and what are basically animated tapestries (more terrifying then you think)While in the second temple, it looks the same- with golden hallways and red carpets, but as you go deeper down, it is mostly inhabited by humans that have been experimented on and transformed into 'miscreations', until at the bottom level there's piles of bodies and literal pools of blood- some of the sickest metal-ist shit ever. But I digress from the point, what I'm interesting in writing is;A story about transformation, from something beautiful to something hideous. A basic I had took inspiration from that game, but here it is;A sorcerer/ess begins to experiment on a male or female human... and with crazy magic, ends up slowly deforming the person over the course of the RP. The experimentee could be a lover or the crazy magic scientist is simply perverted, but sexual encounters continue unabated. Needless to say, neither character could be considered particularly sane at the onset of this story- and in fact towards the end there might be redemption for one... but probably not both.What do you think?

While I am a reader who usually doesn't "play favorites" (mostly because it's just so hard to choose), I have to say that Wally Lamb is one of my favorite authors. I've only read two of his works, this one and I Know This Much Is True, but I've loved every word of both of them...and for very different reasons, which tells me that I'm on the right track. This book was purchased during my college years (probably at Target, as that's the only place I shopped back then). I actually finished this book last Monday, while I was spending seven hours in the Baltimore airport, waiting for the next flight to Florida, since my original flight was delayed and I missed my earlier connection.
I first read She's Come Undone in college, probably my freshman or sophomore year. It's hard for me to remember exactly when it was, since I didn't keep track of my reading back then. I remember the book being only okay for me when I read it in college, so I wanted to re-read it as an adult to see if my perceptions or understanding of it changed at all. I'm such a different person than I was in those early college years that I felt sure the experience would be different for me now than it was then. And I was right.
The book is the story of Dolores Price, from childhood through adulthood, set in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. She is a fairly normal child, but then her parents' divorce and her mother's ensuing mental illness throw her a little off track. When she is raped by the upstairs neighbor, she comes fully unraveled. Her mother soothes her own guilt over the rape by giving Dolores everything she wants, which includes food, food, and more food. Eventually, Dolores becomes morbidly obese and withdrawn from the world because of her obesity. When her mother is killed in an accident, Dolores decides to grant her mother's last wish and go to college. However, she is nothing like the other girls and is bullied and taken advantage of by them. Finally, she leaves college and descends into the mental illness that has been nipping at her heels since her mother died. She spends the next seven years at Gracewood, a mental institution, letting go of her anger, her despair, and her extra weight. When she leaves Gracewood, perhaps she is not quite fully "cured," as she sets out to find her college roommate's ex-boyfriend, whom she has obsessed over for years. She finds and marries him, only to find that the reality of Dante is not what she had created in her mind. It is only after her divorce, when she is focused on herself, that she meets her equal and earns her happily ever after.
I remember being extremely depressed by the subject-matter of the book, and that part hasn't changed. At least for me, this book was just so, so sad. Dolores Price is a protagonist who makes you want to root for her, but her life is just one sorry episode after another. I really related to her, having been significantly overweight for most of my adult life, and having struggled with the psychological issues that attend the physical. However, I think I have a bit more spunk than Dolores and, as a result, I refused to play the victim or let others victimize me. Dolores, on the other hand, was continually the victim: first of Jack Speight's rape, then of the bullying and cruelty of the other girls at college, then of Dante's thoughtlessness and selfishness. When she finally realizes that she is owed more from the world, I was so happy and excited for her. Lamb did a great job in making his protagonist both repellant and loveable at the same time.
Overall, I'd give this book four and a half out of five Whatevers. I cried and cried throughout the book. Recommended for those who love a good tearjerker, or those who enjoy a psychologically complex heroine, as Dolores Price is the most complex I've experienced in a long while.

The life story of Annabel Grace Shelander... living with Trisomy 18, the struggles along the way, and the triumphs that she continues to have.

"Oh Happy Days..."
I am truly hoping that I can sing this most of the summer! I have been reading this blog "Caleigh's Corner" and this mom has some great resources. If she doesn't know it, she probably knows someone who does.
I was looking on her blog and saw her daughter swimming with this tube around her neck. I went directly to the Waterways Babies site and purchased one. It arrived the following day and we were in the pool that afternoon. Of course this was after purchasing some tegaderm bandage from another mother whose daughter has a central line. On her daughters blog she details about her daughters dressing change and how to care for it. So today Annabel's dressing stayed dry and she swam for 45 minutes. I can only imagine how much freedom and good therapy this will be for Annabel. Of course, this make for a very happy momma if I feel we can give Annabel good quality of life. I was just watching over the video and it looks as if Annabel cannot see. We have to shield Annabel from the sun as her eyes are very sensitive to the sunlight. We have the brim of her hat very low and sunglasses on and then of course the intertube. She can see us and we can see her smiling when she is floating.

Abigail and Dolley readers we have reached the end of the line for our tolerance for government schools. We are pulling our son from public middle school and moving him to a Christian Academy. I have nothing positive to say about our experience with Community House Middle School in Charlotte, North Carolina. I am not alone in my dissatisfaction with this school, virtually every parent we know is in agreement with me on some level.
If you are moving to Mecklenburg County or are considering if you should send your child to this public school, I urge you to consider alternatives to Community House Middle School. If Hawk Ridge Elementary was "A Place Where Children Soar", Community House Middle School is where the poachers shoot them down.
Structured like a prison with no freedom, free time, or chances to be kids; they systematically squash all that is great about being a school kid. 80 minutes blocks with 5 minutes in between, they expect 11 year old boys to sit still, be quiet and listen perfectly. Talking, laughing, and fidgeting are strictly prohibited and will get your kid sent to the office. There are assigned seats at lunch and like Elementary School children the kids are escorted in a line to the lunch room. No exercise or physical activities are given to the children except for the one semester where they have gym every other day.
Community House prides itself on being a technology school, so assignments are posted on individual teacher's wiki pages. The wikis are not uniform, some are good, some are horrible but all require that the parent and child spend quite a bit of time navigating the pages EVERY night. There is parent assist but grades are not updated regularly and often done in big blocks where assignments from weeks before are posted. If there are missing assignments it becomes quite a project to assist your child in making up work that was due several weeks before. Honestly, my husband felt like he had a part time job managing our son's school.
The effort would have been worth it if there was reward for the hard work. Teachers are there to "facilitate" and "disseminate" the material but not tasked with teaching. Instead, we spent most of the year unprepared, behind, and frustrated. We hired tutors who shared our frustration and struggled to help our 11 year old boy navigate what is in essence a collegiate system of student's taking responsibility for their own learning. This is fine if the freedoms associated with that environment are granted but as described above they are not. So it is the worst of all worlds.
The time spent on Community House Middle School is equivalent to a full time job. Catching the bus at 8:30am and returning home at 5:00pm with then at least an hour of homework... it has truly taken its toll on our family. Forget about after school activities, sports, clubs, ect - it's all school all the time. My son is now 12 years old, he has the rest of his life to work 45 hours a week.
So we are shaking the dust off our feet and never looking back. All I can say is good riddance.

The morning cloud cover matched the concrete sidewalks, as we made our way through the streets of downtown LA to meet with new friends. We juggled bags from one arm to another and wrapped a hug around natural beauty and Musician Casey Carlson, aka Quigley, and Photographer Jordan Voth.
Nature and Music
The Minnesota-born Quigley took off her statement hat, perched herself in the hair and make-up chair, and settled in with us for great conversation and laughs. EDM tunes played as sunbeams broke through clouds and drifted across the naturally lit studio – today was going to be epic! Although her morning usually begins at 9am with a cup of coffee and hanging out with her cat, Meatball, Quigley took on our early morning project with zest.
The Earth's Song Collection mirrored Quigley's effortless, bohemian style as she changed from street outfit to sporty outfit, loving the color and feel of each tank. We told her the meaning behind the Outback-inspired prints, while laughing at the unintentional irony of the Quigley Down Under movie. Nature is the underlying creative force behind Stelari's intention-based collections. The Collection illustrates the power of listening to nature, feeling its rhythm, and letting it heal you -- just as music does.
Quigley was involved in musical theater in high school and college, but started experiencing the beauty and depth of electronic layering of her vocals and beats. She calls herself a "visual performing artist" and loves to literally watch her music come to life on her laptop. Her most recent Initium EP, showcases her artistry. It's hard not to get mesmerized by the beats and you'll most likely have her lyrics swirling in your head for hours.
You promised we'd stay the same. Baby it's good to change. Come with me and you'll never be lost, you'll never be lost, you'll never be lost.
Curious to uncover a bit of Quigley's creative lures, we asked her a few questions:
Nature inspires us, where do you go to connect with nature?
The beach - probably Malibu. I grew up in Minnesota, so I'm a lake person. The ocean is quite foreign to me, and I think because of that it's impossible for me to look at it without being in complete awe. I also go on runs in the park by my house and hikes in the canyon. I like to exercise outside!
Musicians are creative beings, what activity stirs your creativity most?
One of my favorite things to do in LA is go to the Flea Market. We have tons of markets and occasional arts and craft fairs where locals share their work. Because I work in the world of music, I get the most inspired by visual arts because it's something different for my senses! For that same reason, I'm on Pinterest a lot!
You said that studio sessions can can collaborative, but also lonely and in your head. What makes you feel the most connected with people?
To be honest, probably my bar job! I work at a gorgeous bar in Hollywood called No Vacancy. It's a speakeasy type cocktail bar located in an old victorian house. I like talking to people, and this is probably where I do most of my socializing!
Questions, conversations, and laughter ping-ponged among the whole crew and throughout the day as we ventured into the streets of LA, lunched at Urth Caffe, danced in the studio, and hiked through the tall grasses of the canyon. We squeezed out the final minutes of sunlight and it was a wrap. As the sun melted behind the horizon, Quigley put her hat back on, flashed a smile and peace sign, and then we all parted ways. A day in LA with boho babe Quigley was officially epic!
Flip through The Earth's Song Lookbook to see more images from our day with Quigley.

Tashan-e-Ishq: Twinkle Is Shocked To Know RT's Truth; Will She Accept Him?
In the latest episode of Tashan-e-Ishq, we saw RT trying to convince Leela to accept him. Leela asks him not to get drunk,rather take care of himself.
Meanwhile, Kunj (Sidhant Gupta) is worried about telling Twinkle (Jasmin Bhasin) the truth; that RTis her father. In the night, Twinkle and Kunj share some sweet moments together with Twinkle taking care of Kunj.
Twinkle prepares for her dad's Barsi. This will put Leela in a dilemma as she knows that her husband is alive but not able to spill the beans to Twinkle.
Kunj tries his best to unite Leela and RT. He will constantly ask Leela to disclose everything to Twinkle. But Leela disagrees. Leela will ask Kunj to stop Twinkle from doing the Barsi havan.
Truth Revealed!
Kunj stops the havan and introduces Twinkle to her father RT. Twinkle is shocked to know that RT is her father and that is why he used to stalk Leela.
Twinkle Doesn't Accept Her Father
Twinkle is taken aback to know the truth about RT. She is unable to digest the fact that RT is her father. She doesn't accept him and is angry with him for leaving them alone in times of need.
Kunj Calms Twinkle Down
Twinkle cries a lot and is not able to come out of the shock. Kunj will try his best to pacify Twinkle and make her understand Leela's plight.
Twinkle Agrees
Twinkle will eventually accept RT as her father. Both, Twinkle and Kunj will try to reunite Leela and RT and in this process, will discover love for each other!
The following morning, Kunj discusses with Leela regrding informing Twinkle about RT. Leela refuses it and leaves from there. In the temple, while Twinkle is praying, Leela arrives.
She asks Twinkle why she is crying. Twinkle says that she misses having a father, so that Leela won't have to be lonely and there would be someone to take care of her.
Kunj and RT overhear Leela and Twinkle's conversation. Twinkle goes on to thank Leela for chosing Kunj as her husband. She tells Leela that Kunj understands her and takes care of her.
Twinkle notices RT and gets angry. She questions him why he has been stalking her mom. She warns RT to stay away from them.
Twinkle will start preparing for her father's death anniversary (Barsi). She tells Leela that she wants tomake all the arrangements. Leela freaks out listening to Twinkle's words.
Leela thinks that she has to stop it at any cost. Meanwhile, Kunj takes care of RT and asks him to forget the past and rather work towards winning over Twinkle's heart.
He receives a call from Leela. Leela tells him that Twinkle wants to do Barsi havan for her dad. Kunj informs RT about this. They all become sad.
In the upcoming episode we will see Twinkle making all arrangements for her dad's death anniversary. Leela will be waiting for Kunj to stop the havan. What will happen next on the show?

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Please note that this page is in the process of being updated - June 12, 2019
FCN Course
FCN Preceptor and Educator Courses
FCN Skills Workshops
What titles, signatures, designations or abbreviations does Foot Canada Training recognize for graduates of a Foot Care Nurse course?
Can PSW's and other unregulated workers register for Foot Canada Training's courses and workshops?
Do you provide a T2202A CRA tuition certificate (tuition tax receipt)?
Why can't I pay my tuition/registration fees with my credit card?
What is the demand for Foot Care Nurses?
Across Canada, employers from medical health teams, clinics, health centers and community agencies actively recruit our graduates year round, as there is a serious shortage of Foot Care Nurses that possess the skills and knowledge acquired from the Foot Care Nurse course and meet the Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses' National Competencies for Advanced Nursing Foot Care In Canada (2017).
Unfortunately, many positions that have been posted in the past few years have not been filled, and some employers don't get responses from advertisements, as there are insufficient numbers of highly qualified Foot Care Nurses that can provide comprehensive high-risk screening, diabetic foot care and ongoing high-risk foot care management.
Other career-related notes:
- The majority of graduates of the Foot Care Nurse course are practicing foot care in their workplace.
- There is a high demand for Foot Care Nurses in the community and nursing homes due to an aging population, an increasing number of persons with diabetes, and an increasing need in First Nations and Inuit communities.
- There is a high demand for Foot Care Nurses in medical clinics and emerging multidisciplinary Health Care Teams.
What titles, signatures, designations or abbreviations does Foot Canada Training recognize for graduates of a Foot Care Nurse course?
Foot Canada Training recognizes the use of 'Foot Care Nurse'.
We recommend that nurses who have successfully completed both the theoretical and practical mentorship/clinical components of a Foot Care Nurse course, AND meet CAFCN's National Competencies for Advanced Nursing Foot Care in Canada write 'Foot Care Nurse' next to their name.
For example: Jane Doe RPN, Foot Care Nurse
Nurses need to verify with their provincial and territorial regulatory bodies for limitations to using the term 'Foot Care Nurse' (i.e. CLPNM's Practice Direction).
Currently, Foot Canada Training does not recognize the use of any other adjectives, titles, signatures, designations or abbreviations added before or after the 'Foot Care Nurse' title.
Do you offer customized courses?
Yes, we do! In addition to our regular scheduled Foot Care Nurse, FCN Preceptor and FCN Educator courses and skills workshops, we also design and deliver customized courses for health care agencies, government departments and educational facilities. We have Educators available to travel to most Canadian locations and able to provide a customized course on location to meet your needs.
Is your organization interested in collaborating with Foot Canada Training? Please read this message from our Director on options to collaborate with Foot Canada Training to find our more about how to receive a complimentary textbook, a free consultation and more.
Interested in learning more? Please contact our Operations Management Consultant and Liaison, Marie-Pierre Hamelin, at firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule a free consultation to discuss how we may be able to accommodate your agency's needs.
Can PSW's or other unregulated care workers register for Foot Canada Training's courses and skills workshops?
Foot Canada Training's courses and workshops are specially designed to teach nursing foot care skills to nurses. PSW's and unregulated workers are not eligible to register, as our current curriculum does not meet their continuing education needs.
Do you provide a T2202A CRA Tuition Certificate (tuition tax receipt)?
This is general information only, please consult with your accountant for tax provisions specific to your situation.
T-2202A CRA tuition certificates, which are required to benefit from the tuition tax credit, can only be issued by designated educational institutions such as private career or community colleges and universities certified by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). Foot Canada Training is a privately owned business, which does not fit in this category.
One benefit of being independently owned and managed is that it allows us to be more flexible and effective in customizing programs as soon as nursing foot care advancements happen. Although we do not provide T2202A CRA tuition certificates, we do provide an official tuition receipt to each student, which can be used to gain access to other financial aid opportunities, such as:
- Educational grants (See our financial aid page for more details)
- Claiming tuition and other course related expenses as an income tax business deduction (if in independent practice)
- Full and partial reimbursement from employers who offer professional development funding
- Accessing funding from other sources, such as community or government programs
What is Foot Canada Training's head office mailing address?
Why can't I pay my tuition/registration fees with my credit card?
Did you know that a growing number of colleges and universities across Canada no longer accept credit cards? (1) Similar to other education providers we have had to weight the balance between affordability for our students and payment option convenience.
We used to accept credit card payments in the past, but moved away from this as there were so few requests at the time. The majority of our course applicants opt for an e-transfer as their preferred payment option. Money order and direct deposit have so far provided an alternative for when an e-transfer hasn't been possible. We recognize that credit cards would provide an added convenience, particularly for organizations, and we have recently explored this option again for this reason. Unfortunately, the conclusion we have come to is that accepting credit cards would significantly raise our operational costs, which would mean raising tuition fees. In an effort to keep our courses, workshops and conference fees as accessible as possible, we have decided not to offer credit card payment as an option at this time.

CAMOSUN Q & A - Why don't you accept a credit card to pay for tuition
Foot Care Nurse Course
Will the course provide me with a certification to be a foot care nurse?
Does the FCN course cover advanced and diabetic nursing foot care?
Why would an experienced Foot Care Nurse need to take FCN Part 1?
Do I have to purchase personal protection coverage (liability/malpractice)?
How does your FCN course compare to other Canadian Foot Care courses?
Will this course provide me with a certification to be a Foot Care Nurse?
The Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses (CAFCN) currently does not recognize or endorse any Foot Care Nurse certification process in Canada. Although a recognized certification process for Foot Care Nurses is not currently available, we welcome its development and are working hard to ensure that our Foot Care Nurse, Foot Care Nurse Preceptor and Foot Care Nurse Educator course graduates will be ready for this process as well. In addition to keeping abreast of any certification developments and integrating these to our courses, we are also offer an annual Advanced Foot Care Skills Conference where participants can participate in 3 advanced skills workshops for a total of 4.5 CEU's. We are also in the process of developing curriculum for a number of advanced skills workshops to be taught in communities across Canada by independent clinical education providers with a licence to access and use Foot Canada Training's Clinical and Workshop Curriculum.
All training and professional development opportunities offered by Foot Canada Training are based on current best practice guidelines and evidence-based practice, including the CAFCN National Competencies for Advanced Nursing Foot Care in Canada (2017). Our team completes an annual review of the curriculum and provides regular updates for our courses to stay current and to improve the student experience.
Does the Foot Care Nurse course cover advanced and diabetic nursing foot care?
Yes, as per the competencies outlines in the National Competencies for Advanced Nursing Foot Care in Canada( 2017), we are able to confirm that our Foot Care Nurse course does cover the criteria for advanced nursing foot care. Our FCN course also teaches diabetic nursing foot care skills, which is a component of advanced foot care skills.
Why would an experienced Foot Care Nurse need to take FCN Part 1?
Historically the specialty of nursing foot care hasn't had any continuing education requirements, such as having Foot Care Nurses refresh their FCN course competencies every 5 years, having a minimum number of practice hours per year (except MB), or tracking a minimum number of yearly Continuing Education Units. Since all FCN courses in Canada have different curriculum to date, experienced Foot Care Nurses taking Part 1 of the Foot Care Nurse course, which is newly updated and online, is a way for them to challenge their knowledge base and ensure all nurses moving forward with additional FCN continuing education courses are on the same page.
Is there funding available to help with tuition?
Yes, please visit our Financial Aid page for details.
Do course participants attend sessions online?
Are there travel requirements?
Can I take this course if I do not live in Ontario or British Columbia?
Thank you for your email. Although a large majority of our students reside in Ontario and British Columbia, out-of-province nurses are welcome to apply! The Foot Care Nurse (Theory) course (formerly FCN Part 1) is completed entirely online and is accessible to students from all locations. Having said this, students should note that this is a two-part process. Together, both the FCN (Theory) and FCN (Clinical) courses are designed to prepare participants to function as a Foot Care Nurse within a health care team:
- The Foot Care Nurse (Clinical) course requires in-person participation. Clinical Education Providers with a license to use our curriculum for this course are currently located in Ontario and British Columbia only. New locations are expected shortly.;
- students are required to be registered/licensed to practise in the province of their FCN (Clinical) course location and that this registration/licensing process can sometimes take 2-3 months or more;
- to be eligible to register for FCN (Clinical), students must have graduated from FCN (Theory) within 12 months of the FCN (Clinical) start date.
We recommend prospective out-of-province students complete the following steps prior to registration:
- contact their professional regulatory body to ensure that this course meets the criteria to practice as a Foot Care Nurse in their home province;
- contact the professional regulatory body in the province where they are planning to complete FCN (Clinical) to inquire about the registration process and expected timeline;
- contact their preferred FCN (Clinical) location to discuss the registration process and any additional considerations to keep in mind as an out-of-province applicant.
Can I take FCN Part 1 without taking FCN Part 2?
Tuition for Part 1 and Part 2 of the FCN course are separate. Registration to FCN Part 1 does not obligate students to complete FCN Part 2 and is a great way to learn and refresh knowledge on current nursing foot care theory and best practice guidelines. However, students should note that as FCN Part 1 does not provide any practical training in foot care, nurses are not yet qualified to provide foot care to clients after completing this part of the FCN course.
It is the responsibility of each nurse to ensure they are working within their scope of practice by following the requirements of their provincial or territorial nursing governing body and national nursing foot care associations as outlined in related policies, competencies, guidelines, standards, acts and regulations
To practice as a Foot Care Nurse, nurses must ensure they have successfully completed both theoretical and clinical/mentorship components of a FCN course, such as Part 1 and Part 2 of Foot Canada Training's FCN course, or any other equivalent FCN course. Please read Foot Canada Training's Limitations to Practice Policy, which must be read and submitted by all FCN Part 1 students, for further details.
Can I take FCN Part 2 without taking FCN Part 1?
Unfortunately, no. Although the tuition for Part 1 and Part 2 of the FCN course are separate, one of the prerequisites for FCN Part 2 is successful completion of FCN Part 1 with a minimum grade of 75%.
Can I pick my own FCN Part 2 Mentor/Educator?
Unfortunately, no. Only approved FCN Part 2 education providers listed on the FCN 2 (Clinical) page of the Foot Canada Training website are authorized to teach Part 2 of the FCN course. Each FCN Part 2 Educator uses the same course outline and the same standardized, peer-reviewed, multi-authored lesson guidelines. Adding an FCN Part 2 education provider requires extensive screening, training and coordination. Having said this, we do keep track of requests from prospective students for alternative locations should there be an opportunity to expand FCN Part 2 locations in the future. Please Contact Us to if you are interested in adding your location to the list.
Do I have to purchase personal protection coverage (liability/malpractice)?
In 2015, the College of Nurses of Ontario declared that all nurses registered in Ontario must purchase personal protection coverage. All other provinces and territories regulatory bodies already include personal protection.
What will the Educator's availability be during FCN Part 1?
An Educator will be assigned to you to answer questions, review and mark weekly assignments. During course time, your Educator will be available to respond to questions submitted via email within 1-3 business days. In addition, students are also encouraged to help each other, ask questions and collaborate using the course discussion board.
How do assignments work for FCN Part 1?
FCN Part 1 is scheduled over an 11 week period with one assignment per week. Although it is recommended that students submit one assignment per week, students may proceed through the course at their own pace as long as all assignments are submitted by the course end date. Please refer to the Part 1 Course Outline and Appendix A for complete details on assignments for Part 1 of the FCN course.
Students should set aside 4-8 hours per week for assignments. The time required for each assignment will depend on the student's level of knowledge as it relates to each chapter of the course textbook. If interested in reaching a more precise estimate of the time commitment required for the course workload, prospective students are encouraged to purchase and complete a preliminary review of the course textbook to better assess their current level of familiarity with the course material. Please visit the Bookstore page of our website for details on how to purchase the course textbook: Art & Science of Foot Care: A Clinical Resource for Nurses in Canada (2017).
Can I complete assignments for FCN Part 1 ahead of time?
We recommend students keep ahead 1-2 weeks (if possible), in order to complete the course as scheduled. Having said this we do not recommend students complete the assignments out of order.
Do you provide information on operating your own business?
Not in depth, although one assignment in FCN Part 1 provides an overview of Foot Care Nurse roles and different clinical settings including private practice. In order to increase competencies and improve patient outcomes, we recommend that all our graduates practise as a Foot Care Nurse for at least 2 years in a team environment with a variety of onsite interdisciplinary team members, including experienced Foot Care Nurses, prior to considering private practice. In addition to 2 years of foot care nursing experience, we also recommend graduates considering private practice take additional continuing education courses which focus on the skills needed to run a small business.
How does your FCN course compare to other Canadian foot care courses?
The Foot Care Nurse course offered by Foot Canada Training and select education providers offers unique features. First, it is important to note that our course follows a comprehensive, advanced and diabetic nursing foot care curriculum. This curriculum is based on current Best Practice Guidelines and evidence-based practice, including the Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses' National Competencies for Advanced Nursing Foot Care in Canada( 2017), which are integrated as exit competencies to the course. Included below are some of our course features we would like to highlight:

- FCN Part 1 is completed over a period of 11 weeks and includes 90 hours of course work.
- FCN Part 1 is online and can be completed from your home computer.
- Webinars for FCN Part 1 are pre-recorded and can be viewed on your own schedule.
- FCN Part 1 has a discussion board to help students network and ask questions.
- FCN Part 2 is the mentorship and clinical component of the FCN course and focuses on hands on learning and includes 43 hours of course work.
- FCN Part 2 is now offered in 6 central locations in Ontario and British Columbia, making this course widely accessible.
- The curriculum for FCN Part 2 is standardized across locations, each FCN Part 2 provider uses the same peer-reviewed education guidelines and course outline.
- In addition to the FCN course, we also offer a variety of continuing education opportunities for Foot Care Nurses to fine tune their skills, including and FCN Clinical Refresher course, FCN Skills Workshops, an FCN Preceptor course, an FCN Educator course and an FCN Conference.
We recommend reviewing the FCN Part 1 Course Outline and Appendix A as well as FCN Part 2 Course Outline for more details about what the FCN course has to offer.

Aluminum Science and Technology
Cold Extrusion of Aluminum Alloys[1]
Cold extrusion is typically used to create near-net-shape products, such as fasteners and automotive components. Aluminum alloys are well suitable to cold (impact) extrusion. This article describes the tooling, dies, punches, and tool materials of equipment used for cold extrusion. Typical tool materials and their working hardnesses for the extrusion of aluminum are presented. The article reviews the preparation of aluminum slugs in terms of tolerance on slug volume, surface preparation, and lubricants. It concludes with a discussion on extruded parts, such as shallow cup-like parts, deep cup-like parts, and parts with complex shapes.
