Frozen yogurt bark topped with mixed berries and crushed pistachios – super easy, delicious and a refreshing no-cook recipe that is perfect for breakfast, snack or dessert!
Before my wedding, I managed to lose 5 kilos (11 lbs) in just 3 weeks by following a few simple rules. I controlled my portion size, I ate more fresh fruit and vegetables, I didn't drink any liquids with my meals, and I made sure that I had 100-150 calorie breakfast within 1 hour of waking up.
Having a small breakfast within 1 hour of waking up, helps increase the rate of your metabolism and eat less during the day. So I started experimenting with low calorie and low-fat breakfast recipes, and this frozen yogurt bark is one of the recipes that I've been making and loving in the past couple of months.
To make this super easy and tasty recipe you only need 4 ingredients!
A tub of yoomoo vanilla frozen yogurt
Maple syrup or agave syrup
Fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
Crushed pistachios to garnish
Simply line a shallow baking tray with parchment paper. Then blend the frozen yogurt and maple syrup in a high-speed blender until smooth.
It is not recommended to thaw frozen yogurt and refreeze it, so I use the blender method instead. yoomoo frozen yogurt is already sweetened so it's up to you to add maple syrup or agave syrup or not.
Pour the frozen yogurt mixture into the prepared baking tray and spread it smooth with the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the desired toppings over the blended frozen yogurt. I've used mixed berries and crushed pistachios, but feel free to add different fruits and toppings.
Freeze the yogurt mixture for 2-3 hours or overnight until set. Cut into squares and serve cold before it starts melting, or store in a container in the freezer.
yoomoo frozen yogurt is currently my favourite frozen yogurt brand, not only that it comes in different flavours and all of them are very tasty. But it's also low in fat and calories. 100 grams of this frozen yogurt contain as little as 126kcal, and 1.2 grams of fat so it's a lovely alternative to ice cream.
I usually eat yoomoo frozen yogurt with a spoon straight from the tub because it tastes great on its own, but it's also great in recipes such as fruit smoothie bowls, this frozen yogurt bark or even served on the side with a breakfast waffle!
yoomoo is UK's number one frozen yogurt brand, and it's available in all major UK supermarkets.
These frozen yogurt bark squares are perfect for breakfast and make yummy treats to have during the day. They're very convenient in the morning, as they don't require any preparation and all you need to do is take them out of your freezer and enjoy them! I usually have 2 squares in the morning, as each square contains as little as 37 kcal.

Book review: 'The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini
I APPROACHED this book with prejudice. I had not expected to like it, firstly because almost anything that wins universal high praise – books or otherwise – sets up an expectation that very often has the perverse effect of turning me off the subject. Widespread lavish admiration engenders a suspicion in me, justified or not, that it is being prompted by fashion: in other words, hype makes me cynical and rebellious.
I had not read reviews of this novel beyond headlines, partly for this reason. Continue reading

Title: Queens of Geek (2017)
Author: Jen Wilde
Publisher: Swoon Reads
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, LGBTQIA+
Extent: 288 pages
Release Date: March 14, 2017
Rating: ★★★☆☆
Goodreads Description
Charlie likes to stand out. She's a vlogger and actress promoting her first movie at SupaCon, and this is her chance to show fans she's over her public breakup with co-star Reese Ryan. When internet-famous cool-girl actress Alyssa Huntington arrives as a surprise guest, it seems Charlie's long-time crush on her isn't as one-sided as she thought.
Taylor likes to blend in. Her brain is wired differently, making her fear change. And there's one thing in her life she knows will never change: her friendship with her best guy friend Jamie—no matter how much she may secretly want it to. But when she hears about a fan contest for her favorite fandom, she starts to rethink her rules on playing it safe.
Going into Queens of Geek, I was actually kind of hesitant. Fandom books are somewhat of a rarity, in my experience, and what's there is not always a hit. When I heard about this one and how it's yet another con experience with best friends as main characters (like All the Feels or The Geek's Guide to Unrequited Love), I was fully prepared to be let down. Thankfully, Queens of Geek managed to surpass those stories — at least in my humble opinion. 😉
The tagline is "three best friends, two love stories" and while that's not inaccurate, this is really about two people: Charlie, an up-and-coming bisexual Chinese-Australian YouTuber, and Taylor, a chubby girl who is somewhere on the autism spectrum and suffers from anxiety. It is these two who experience the most growth, these two who start the story with a problem and have to find solutions to fix it, throughout the one fan convention they've always wanted to experience.
"This is it, you guys," I say as we approach. "Everything we've always dreamed of. This is our Holy Grail."
When we say it, it's a whisper, like the name itself is to be cherished: "SupaCon."
One of the most important things in a contemporary novel is its characters, as well as the relationships that they have with one another, and Wilde certainly brings it. Charlie and Taylor are both particularly well-developed, and their friendship with each other (as well as with Jamie) is so sweet, so adorable. The romances are also super sweet when the relationships start to develop, to the point where I actually start shipping them — especially Taylor and Jamie, because hell, they are freakin' adorable and they're perfect for each other. 💖
Queens of Geek also doesn't disappoint on the representation front. Not only does it have diverse characters, it takes a stance on important issues multiple times throughout the book, and the characters have a couple of realistic discussions about these issues. Coming from a friendship group who does talk about these things in real life, it was great to see this happen. And yay for friendship!
"You don't need to fit yourself into what society tells us a girl should be. Girls can be whoever they want. Whether that's an ass-kicking, sarcastic, crime-solving FBI agent or a funny, gorgeous, witty beauty queen — or both at the same time."
One tiny complaint, though: I wish there was more of fandom stuff! I liked the bits that were there, but for some reason this book didn't really make me feel nostalgic the way some other fandom books do. This is probably more on me, though — while I've been a fan for more than half my life, I've actually never been into cons and cosplay and probably can't relate that much to that side of the experience. 😅
I also, unfortunately, didn't feel like the supporting cast is as well-fleshed out as our protagonists, especially love interests like Jamie and Alyssa. I don't feel like I really know them beyond their romance with Taylor and Charlie, and what was there was more "told, than shown". It's not a huge problem because it doesn't necessarily detract from my enjoyment, but it does mean that the book isn't as ~perfect~ as I want it to be.
Overall, though, I really enjoyed this glimpse into the world of fandom! Both Charlie and Taylor are root-worthy protagonists, and I liked seeing the world through their eyes. Queens of Geek is a cute, easy read that delivers a good time. 🌸
REAL RATING: 3.5 stars.

Every year when the holidays approach, traffic seems to worsen as everyone frantically tries to rush through shopping and holiday parties. Trying to navigate through the craziness to get home after work is frustrating enough without having to also worry about getting to family gatherings, and office parties on time. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to escape the bumper to bumper hell? Well, it's your lucky day, friends!
COBI is here just in time to help you ride through winter by bike! COBI has a customizable app and a handlebar-mounted hub which is made up of various sensors and specific wireless connections that assist with turning your smartphone into a supercharged dashboard. Pretty cool, huh?
An added bonus, setup is super easy. After installation, you'll have the ability to take calls, receive navigation instructions specifically designed for bikes, get weather updates to make sure you're riding in fair conditions, and even stream music.
Not only are you wining by avoiding the crazy holiday traffic, but COBI includes some additional features that make it even better! This bike has integrated AmbiSense lights that are meant to keep you visible when the sun goes down after 5 PM, a theft protection system so you don't have to worry about someone taking off with your bike, and a rain cover just in case you end up running into some flakes or raindrops on your journey. To top it off, COBI will keep your phone charged for those longer than expected rides. That's something we can all appreciate.
It sounds like COBI is the answer to our Christmas prayers, and the end of our traffic nightmares. Travelling by bike will lessen your overall stress (which is necessary during the holidays anyway.) Park your car, hop on your bike, and cruise to your holiday destinations!

A student at my school made a really cool scratchboard in art class.
It's approximately 8 by 10 inches. Here's a close-up of the peacock's face:
I loved it immediately and offered a barter! I knit her this scarf in order to trade. Here is Madison modeling. Her hair is orange now, but I swear it has been every color in that scarf this school year!
The chunky yarn is Ironstone Fun, and the skinny stuff is Shibui Silk Cloud that I got at a new local shop Blazing Needles.
Look at the little snowflake!!
Hooray for barter! I'm thrilled to hang this fancy peacock on my wall!

LOVELAND, Ohio"– If you_re going to go into cardiac arrest, it_s best to do it with an AED and trained"EMS providers nearby.
On January 3, Loveland-Symmes Fire District (LSFD) officials were at the Symmes Township Hall in"Loveland for a township meeting. At the conclusion of the meeting, Fire Chief Otto Huber, EMT-A, went to the back room with Symmes Trustee Ken Bryant to make copies. When Bryant handed Huber a copy, he suffered a heart attack.
˙He said, ÂOh no_ and crumbled to the floor,Ó Huber said. Bryant did not have a pulse and was not breathing. Huber and the other LSFD officials started assisting Bryant while a township administrator ran to a Medtronics AED just 50 feet away.
Huber said Assistant Chief Tom Turner, a paramedic, used the AED to get Bryant_s heart beating. ˙He administered two shocks and continuous CPR, and the patient regained a pulse and then within a couple minutes regained consciousness,Ó Huber said. ˙At that point, the paramedic unit and the first responding ladder company arrived and continued with ALS procedures.Ó
They then packaged and transported the patient to"Bethesda"Hospital, where the emergency room physician said, ˙Had it not been for the defibrillator, the patient would not have survived,Ó Huber said.
Since the incident, Bryant has received a five-way bypass.
˙I think the lesson in this is that we need to, as a fire and"EMS community, impress upon our powers to be and our communities that early defibrillation and having our public trained in CPR is the difference between life and death,Ó Huber said. ˙The more AEDs we can put in their hands and CPR training we can give, the more saves we will have.Ó
Huber says all public buildings in"Loveland-Symmes"Township, including schools, have AEDs, as do many of the industrial buildings and large retail outlets. Engine companies check AED batteries quarterly as a part of the LSFD fire prevention program. Huber estimated 99% of the township_s AEDs are by Physio-Control, Inc.For more on this story,"click here.

I'm sure Mr. Joseph is a fine fellow, however it might have been more useful to the viewers to see more of the speaker. Elsewhere in this blog (Burmeister transport?), Mike Rodman makes some good comments about journalistic integrity and usefulness. Here is a case in point - it does no service to Mr. Joseph's product or the reader. C'mon Stereophile.
Joseph Audio's Surprise Joys
Nothing beats starting off four days of room-hopping at CES on a joyful. In this case, the delights were provided by Jeff Joseph of Joseph Audio.
I snuck into the Joseph/Bel Canto room an hour before the show's official opening, and invited Jeff to play me music I might not know. With a wry smile, he took me on a journey that began with Midori playing a Chopin transcription for violin and piano. Then we transitioned into Harry Belafonte surprisingly doing a highly credible job of singing the blues ("Fool for You"). Next came Duke Ellington's hilarious, tongue-in-cheek version of "Moon Maiden," complete with the system's pristine reproduction of the celeste. We ended with The Roches singing "The Troubles." (Apologies if I have some titles wrong; I was too blissed out to get everything down word-for-word).
On display were the new Joseph Audio Pearl II speakers ($28,500/pair). Their gorgeous wood finish, which no longer shows exposed bolts on the sides, houses a new crossover topology inspired by Jeff's work on the little Pulsar. "You can go room-to-room and see the same drivers in different speakers," he said, "but the crossover makes all the difference in the sound. It's not the brand of capacitors we use that's most important, for example; it's how whatever capacitors we use are configured that matters most."
The Pearl II goes down to 23 or 25Hz (Jeff Joseph coulnd't rember exactly). As an 8 ohm speaker that doesn't go below 6 ohms, it's equally friendly to tube and solid-state electronics.
"For something to be satisfying long term," says Jeff, "it has to be so balanced that it can play all kinds of music and sound real." Which the Pearl II certainly does.
The system, powered by Bel Canto electronics and connected by the new Cardas Clear cabling that I kept running into at the show, was fed by either a Macbook Pro connected to the Bel Canto DAC by the Bel Canto 24/96 USB Link, or a Q-Sonic Server. It was hardly the most transparent or showy system at CES. But the solidity of the bass, and the sheer groundedness of the sound, made for a marvelous musical experience.

Do I need to apply for a visa for Brazil?
Yes. Brazil requires U.S. citizens to have a visa to enter. EducationUSA provides an invitation letter for each representative, which aids the visa process.
Representatives may apply for a tourist visa since they are unpaid speakers/participants. Please plan on starting the VISA process as soon as you confirm you trip to Brazil.
How should I pay for the fair?
In the invoice that each university receives, EducationUSA provides information for payment via credit card.
What type of social media advertising will EducationUSA use to promote the fair?
EducationUSA utilizes one or more means to promote the fair: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and radio advertising as well as print ads. Representatives are encouraged to send as many blurbs and videos as desired to be added to the online media.
Will I be able to make my hotel arrangements through EducationUSA or should I contact the venue hotel directly?
EducationUSA Roadshow offers hotel reservations at the discounted consular rate. In order to have access to the discounted rate, representatives should make the reservation through the EducationUSA Roadshow registration system. This is an optional service, however reservations made directly with the hotel will not have the same discounted rate.
Will the hotel be located near the fair venue?
This will vary from city to city. In most cities, EducationUSA provides hotel arrangements at the same venue as the fair, but in some cities this may not be possible. In that case, we will provide transportation to and from the Fair venue and other visits.
Will my credit card be charged for the hotel reservation?
No. The hotel request form requires credit card information to hold the reservation. The credit card will not be charged for the reservation. Each representative will pay for each hotel at check-out in each city.
Is it possible to arrange either early check-in or late check-out at the venue hotels?
Early check-in and late check-out is a possibility at all of the venue hotels. There may be an additional fee for each of these services. This information will be available before representatives arrive. Representatives must confirm this request with EducationUSA and the hotel will confirm availability.
Will I receive a confirmation number for my hotel requests?
Each hotel has a different protocol for confirmation. Some hotels will provide confirmation numbers while other reservations are made through each representative's name. Each city's advisor will provide the representatives with this information once the hotel reservation is made and confirmed.
Can I ship materials to pass out at each fair before the fair circuit begins?
EducationUSA encourages each representative to ship their university's materials to the EducationUSA Center in each fair city. The representative's welcome manual will provide instructions for each city's protocol. Please ship materials at least 2 months in advance from your trip.
Should I arrange my own ground transportation?
EducationUSA will provide arrangements for airport pick-up in selected cities only, and instructions on recommended services for other cities will be available in the welcome manual. We also provide transportation to and from school/university visits or social events planned (as well as to and from the Fair Venue in cities where the Fair does not take place at our recommended hotel). Before the event, each representative will receive information on the ground transportation options, with varying prices, and can choose accordingly. This service is optional.
Will there be visits to local universities or high schools during the school visits?
The school and/or university visits are arranged by each host city and vary from year to year. As the fair approaches, the school visit information will be provided in the fair circuit agenda and the online registration system. Transportation to and from the school visit is provided at no extra cost. There is no additional cost to join the school visits. Participation in the school visits is not mandatory.
If I have taken a few Portuguese courses, would it be recommended to hire a translator for the fair?
Even though the students who visit the fair are expected to have a foundation in English, many parents who accompany their children may not. If the representative does not feel comfortable carrying on a full conversation about the academic programs that their university provides, EducationUSA recommends that the representative hire a translator/helper. Translators are also of great help in dealing with the crowd.
Will I have to pay for a translator for each event?
There is a fee of USD $100 per translator per fair. Each representative is responsible to inform EducationUSA if they would like to hire a translator and for which cities.
Am I allowed to bring another representative with me to the fair?
Each university is welcome to send as many representatives as they would like, but there will be a fee if the university is bringing more than 2 representatives per city. EducationUSA asks that each university provide the names and email addresses of each representative.
Do I need to submit my flight itinerary to EducationUSA even if I do not want ground transportation arranged?
EducationUSA asks that ALL representatives provide their flight itinerary.
Can I use alumni to help me at the fair?
Alumni are welcome to help universities. Please provide alumni information for each city, so they can be given access credentials.
Is the FAUBAI Conference included in the registration fee for the Brazilian EducationUSA Roadshow?
No. The FAUBAI Conference is a separate event. We are just giving you the opportunity to attend that event while participating in our Roadshow. Registration and payment for the FAUBAI Conference are done seperately.

Our mission at ApneaTreatmentCenter.com is to educate sleep apnea sufferers on the most effective sleep apnea treatments without CPAP.
CPAP is considered the "gold standard" of sleep apnea treatment, but for many people the discomfort, claustrophobia, and side effects of CPAP are simply not worth it.
That's probably why up to 83% of CPAP users are not "compliant" in using it regularly…
And many patients simply give up using CPAP altogether.
But the fact is, there are many alternatives to CPAP that sleep apnea sufferers (and doctors) simply don't know about.
Our mission is to spread the word about these new, effective, and proven alternative treatments for sleep apnea.
The American Sleep Apnea Association's sleep apnea definition states that "apnea" is a Greek word that means "without breath."
According to the National Institutes of Health, sleep apnea is a condition that causes episodes of momentary breathing stoppage (the "apnea") while you are sleeping, as well as shallow breathing (which is called "hypopnea").
Sleep apnea comes in three different forms:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA – the most common form of sleep apnea)
- Central Sleep Apnea
- Complex Sleep Apnea (a mix of obstructive and central)
Sleep apnea disrupts your sleep as well as the sleep of anyone who shares a bed with you. The breaks in your breathing may last a few seconds or a few minutes. Regular breathing typically re-starts with a loud snorting or choking noise. A vicious cycle is repeated all night long.
Your bed partner is usually more aware than you of your breaks in breathing. Generally, you will experience more than 5 episodes each hour (in severe cases, up to 100 episodes an hour).
Sleep apnea often escapes proper diagnosis. It cannot be detected by a blood test. In addition, you might not exhibit the breathing symptoms when you make a visit to your doctor's office. However, you could be referred to a sleep clinic where overnight testing is undertaken.
Before your initial visit to the doctor, you might like to ask your significant other to make recordings during the night so that your physician can hear for him- or herself. But be prepared to be shocked - the sounds are not pretty!
Sleep apnea noises are not your grandfather's gentle snores. No, sir! The nightly chorus is a cacophony of sounds that include:
- Short, abrupt snorts
- Drawn out, extended buzzing that sounds like a forest of electric saws going full tilt
- A rattle that is akin to the worn-out engine of an old car trying desperately to ascend a steep hill - and failing miserably
In addition, the noises are sometimes accompanied by leg twitches, jerks and spasms. This may be linked to central sleep apnea, whereby brain signals are being sent to the wrong muscles.
With all the twitching, heavy breathing and breathing lulls, some partners can be forgiven for thinking that the sleep apnea sufferer is enjoying some kind of wild sleep sex. It is nothing so devious. In reality, the sounds and twitches are just symptoms of sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is a relatively common condition, so do not be alarmed if you are a sufferer. You are certainly not alone!
The bad news is that the disorder is chronic, which means it is not going to stop anytime soon, and will likely last forever if not treated properly.
The better news, however, is that there are a number of effective natural remedies for sleep apnea. You are by no means condemned to this terrible condition forever!
Two main types of sleep apnea exist. They are:
1) Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (also known as "OSA") is the more common of the two conditions.
OSA occurs when your upper airway becomes blocked, or when it collapses. As you struggle to breathe, air is squeezed past the obstruction. This causes the loud snoring noise that your bedfellow has grown to hate.
2) Central Sleep Apnea
Central sleep apnea is far less common than OSA, but is no less serious.
If you suffer from this type of sleep apnea, it means that the "breathing control center" within your brain is not functioning correctly.
With central sleep apnea, your breathing muscles do not receive the proper signals. This causes your breathing to stop for short periods of time. It might be a brief respite for your partner, but it is a potentially dangerous situation for you.
The cause of sleep apnea depends on the type of sleep apnea you have:
- Causes of obstructive sleep apnea are most commonly weak muscles and/or excessive flab in the upper airway, which results in your upper airway getting blocked when you sleep
- Causes of central sleep apnea are typically a malfunctioning of brain signals, which results in your brain failing to "tell" your body to breathe
There are a number of sleep apnea risk factors, including:
- Excess body weight. Being overweight makes it more likely that you have flabby tissue in your upper airway – a primary cause of obstructive sleep apnea
- Elevated blood pressure. When your body is not getting enough oxygen (due to sleep apnea), your blood pressure may rise in order to increase the flow of oxygen to the brain and heart.
- Enlarged adenoids and tonsils. Adenoids are a blob of soft tissue behind the nose; tonsils are the blobs of tissue on either side of the top of your throat. If any of these blobs becomes swollen they will obstruct the flow of air into your airway.
- Diabetes. Numerous studies have found a correlation between sleep apnea and insulin resistance, suggesting that OSA may contribute to the development of diabetes.
- Consuming alcoholic beverages (especially bedtime drinking). Alcohol acts as a muscle relaxant. This means alcohol may cause the muscles in your upper airway to relax – and close during sleep.
- Smoking. Smoking can cause an inflammation of the tissue in the upper airway, causing your airway to close while you sleep.
- Hypothyroidism. Low levels of thyroid hormones can lead to changes in the upper airway, including changes to the muscles of the throat and enlargement of the tongue.
- Allergies. Nasal allergies can block the nasal passage, restricting the flow of air into your body.
- Having a large neck circumference. Males with neck measurements of 17 inches or more, and females with neck measurements of 16 inches or more, are more likely to develop sleep apnea. This is because a thicker neck may indicate an excess of fatty tissue in the upper airway.
There are a handful of tell-tale sleep apnea signs. The main symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea are:
- Frequently occurring episodes of loud snoring, mixed with quiet periods (when breathing stops) lasting 10 seconds or more. This can happen more than 100 times each night.
- Constant tiredness and daytime drowsiness/sleeping
- Memory and concentration difficulties
- Frequent headaches: especially in the mornings
- Lack of a social life because of extreme fatigue
- Depression and mood changes
- Weight gain due to lack of energy for exercise
- High blood pressure
- Impotence or erectile dysfunction in men
According to the Mayo Clinic, untreated sleep apnea can lead to other associated health conditions. Sleep apnea effects include:
- Coronary artery disease
- Congestive heart failure
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Brain damage: In clinical research that used MRI to study the brain's cerebral cortex (that is, the "gray matter) it was discovered that this area of the brain is quite a bit smaller in sleep apnea sufferers.
The cerebral cortex is involved in cardiovascular activity, breathing, memory, concentration and a whole host of other neurological functions. Having less gray matter equates to brain damage.
- Elevated glucose levels: If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, it could mean that your glucose/blood sugar and insulin levels are higher than they should be.
Abnormal levels of blood sugar negatively impact the way in which the body processes glucose. This could lead to insulin resistance and potential diabetes.
- Nocturia: This is a need for frequent urinating during the night.
- Acid reflux
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD in children: Children who suffer from untreated sleep apnea are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD.
- Sleep deprived partners: Bedmates of sleep apnea sufferers are usually kept awake by loud snoring and sporadic jerking each night. If your partner is grumpy and glares at you with puffy, red eyes in the mornings, more than likely it is due to your disruptive sleep apnea. (Related: read our guide on the best earplugs for sleeping.)
- Insomnia: in addition to your partner having a hard time sleeping, many sleep apnea sufferers themselves suffer from insomnia (check out our article "How to fix insomnia" for tips specifically for sleep apnea).
- Non-health-related effects,like job loss and other loss of income: It's an unfortunate fact that some people who suffer from sleep apnea are so debilitated by the condition that they experience sleep apnea disability. There are also additional costs borne by the condition (like the cost of sleep studies and equipment), and not all treatments are covered by sleep apnea insurance.
(At this point, you might need a picker-upper! Take a moment to get some inspiration from celebrities with sleep apnea.)
Before looking into selecting the best sleep apnea treatment, you'll need to know for sure if you have the condition. There are a number sleep apnea tests that can show you how to diagnose sleep apnea:
Sleep Apnea Quiz
A sleep apnea quiz should be your first step in determining if you have the condition. These sleep apnea online tests can help you answer the question "do I have sleep apnea?"
Typically with these quizzes, you provide answers to a set of questions. Each answer is worth a set number of points. The total number of points that you accrue will show either a high or low probability that you are suffering from sleep apnea.
We have reviews of the best online sleep apnea quizzes here.
Sleep Apnea Test At Home
If the sleep apnea quiz suggests you have sleep apnea, it's not guaranteed that you actually have the condition.
To be more certain, you need to either do at sleep apnea test at home or stay overnight in a sleep center for a sleep study (which we cover in the next section).
At Home Sleep Apnea Kits – What Do They Involve?
1) To use the device, you simply attach the sensors to certain parts of your body at bedtime. You might also have to press a button on the machine, or keep a sleep log.
2) You will remove the sensors upon waking up the next morning.
3) After that, you will return the device to the sleep center. The sleep team will interpret the data and come up with your "score".
Within a number of days or weeks, a sleep doctor will contact you to talk about the results.
Your doctor may arrange for you to use at-home sleep apnea test equipment, or you can purchase at home sleep apnea kits online. To read our review of the best home test kits for sleep apnea, please click here.
Increasingly, self-administered home studies are proving to be a viable alternative to studies undertaken in sleep centers. If you feel you might not be able to sleep overnight in a sleep center, a home study might be just right for you. It is certainly less costly.
Sleep Study
According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, an overnight sleep study that is undertaken in a sleep lab is the most definitive means by which a diagnosis of sleep apnea can be made.
The sleep study typically records the activity that occurs over six hours of sleep. The procedure in totally painless and there are no needles involved.
The components of a sleep study include:
- An electroencephalogram/EEG to measure brain waves
- An electroculogram/EOG to measure chin and eye movements in response to various stages of sleep
- An electrocardiogram/EKG to measure your heart rate and rhythm
- Monitoring of the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood
- Monitoring and recording of leg movements
The test is officially known as a polysomnography. The test usually performed by a registered polysomnographic technologist.
The most important data from a sleep study is the apnea-hypopnea index/AHI. As mentioned previously, "apnea" means a complete stoppage of breath, while "hypopnea" means that a breath is constricted, or a "shallow".
The AHI indicates the total apneas and hypopneas that the sleeper experiences during the course of each 60 minutes. How many apneas and hypopneas you have determines the severity of your sleep apnea:
- An AHI between 5 and 15 is classed under mild obstructive sleep apnea
- An AHI between 15 and 30 is classed under moderate OSA
- An AHI over 30 is classed under severe OSA
Did you know there are many proven, natural treatments for sleep apnea that you can do at home?
Due to the influence of CPAP manufacturers on doctors' recommendations, many of these remedies have not been widely known…until now!
Below we've summarized the best natural remedies for sleep apnea, treatments that have shown success in clinical trials in eliminating or minimizing the condition. We also summarize the best sleep apnea devices and surgical procedures for sleep apnea:
Home Remedies for Sleep Apnea
Mouth and Throat ("Orofacial") Exercises
Research has proven that by regularly and consistently exercising your mouth, jaw and throat muscles, sleep apnea exercises are an effective method that can cure (or significantly reduce) apnea in as little as three months.
Many researchers are convinced of the effectiveness of this treatment (but family doctors are taking some time to catch up!)
Singing Therapy
Inexpensive and fun, singing exercises for sleep apnea work to dramatically lessen your OSA.
Through singing, you can effectively your strengthen airway muscles so they don't collapse during sleep. There are no drugs involved and no side effects: just sing some songs and tighten up those throat muscles!
Didgeridoo Therapy
The "didgeridoo" is an ancient Australian wind instrument invented by aboriginal people. It's played by blowing into the end of a small hollowed-out log.
When you blow into a didgeridoo, the muscles of the airway are exercised and made stronger. Research shows that 25 minutes a day of didgeridoo for sleep apnea can lessen sleep apnea symptoms in as little as 3 months.
Positional Therapy
Positional therapy for sleep apnea involves sleeping on your side instead of on your back. Making the change produces a marked improvement in mild and moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Herbal Remedies
Research studies have demonstrated the power of some herbs for sleep apnea, including essential oils for sleep apnea. In addition, teas such as lavender and chamomile are used as sedatives to calm the nervous system for better quality sleep.
Yoga Breathing Exercises
The breathing exercises used in the practice of yoga can be utilized to effectively ease sleep apnea symptoms. Yoga for sleep apnea works by making the diaphragm stronger, increasing your intake of oxygen.
There are many other health-related benefits of yoga exercises, including stress relief and weight loss.
Sleep Hygiene
Sleep "hygiene" doesn't mean you need to be cleaner! It refers to the daily habits you have related to sleep.
Specific sleep hygiene tips include trying to get up at the same time each morning and going to bed at the same time each night, avoiding daytime naps, and other techniques to keep your circadian rhythm in balance.
Buteyko Breathing Technique
Do you believe that word-of-mouth recommendations are best? Well, many people swear by the Buteyko breathing technique for sleep apnea as a cure (we've received many emails here at Apnea Treatment Center).
Proper breathing is an art, and this technique teaches you to breathe in the correct manner. The improved breathing technique that you practice during your waking hours will carry over to your nighttime sleep. This will result in a noticeable reduction or elimination of sleep apnea.
Acupuncture Therapy
Research that has been published in reputable scientific journals demonstrates the viability of acupuncture as an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.
Acupuncture for sleep apnea works by stimulating the upper airway, keeping it open while you sleep. The result: no more sleep apnea!
Weight Loss
Losing weight is extremely important in the fight against sleep apnea. Excess fat in the neck and abdomen area will be reduced, thus taking pressure off the airway and the respiratory muscles. If you're overweight, weight loss for sleep apnea is a must. If you'd like to learn more about losing weight, make sure to check out our guide to sleep apnea diet.
Foods to Eat/Foods to Avoid
Certain foods can cause or worsen sleep apnea, and there are also foods that help sleep apnea. You should avoid bananas as well as fast foods and heavily processed foods. A Mediterranean diet that incorporates lots of leafy green vegetables, olive oil and avocados helps to reduce the symptoms of sleep apnea.
Allergy Treatment & Nasal Irrigation
According to a study in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, daytime drowsiness and nighttime nasal congestion are reduced when allergies are properly treated. This translates into improved sleep.
Nasal irrigation is useful for unblocking noses and fighting infections. Many people swear that a daily rinse of their nasal passages helps to alleviate sleep apnea. Commercial kits for nasal irrigation are readily available.
Lifestyle Changes: Stop smoking and drinking alcohol
Many small lifestyle changes can make a big difference to your sleep apnea.
For example, if you smoke or drink alcoholic beverages, those substances will negatively impact your lung and respiratory functions. As such, they can cause or worsen your sleep apnea.
Sleep Apnea Devices
Aside from CPAP equipment, there are many sleep apnea devices available for purchase online or through your dentist (many of these also function as anti snoring devices). Here are the most popular and effective:
Nasal Strips
Band-Aid-like nasal strips for sleep apnea are available over-the-counter or online. A nasal strip is placed across the nose to decongest the nasal passages and aid breathing.
Sleep Apnea Pillows
There are two main types of sleep apnea pillows:
1. Sleep apnea position pillows are designed to reduce - or completely eliminate - sleep apnea symptoms by keeping your head and neck in the optimal position while you sleep (i.e. positioning your head and neck so your airway stays open).
Some of the positional pillows available include wedge pillows for sleep apnea to keep your body elevated, sleep apnea pillows for side sleepers, and cervical pillows for sleep apnea.
2. CPAP pillows are made specifically to allow CPAP users to sleep comfortably with their masks. These pillows are often irregularly-shaped and include "cut-outs" that allow you to sleep with a CPAP mask and hose. Depending on the position you sleep in with your CPAP equipment, you'll want to check out the CPAP pillows for side sleepers, or get a CPAP pillow for stomach sleepers.
Bumper Belts
Bumper belts are sleep apnea positional belts that prevent you from sleeping on your back (which is a major cause of obstructive sleep apnea). These can be highly effective. Prescribed by many doctors, the belts successfully treat positional obstructive sleep apnea.
Chin Straps
According to a study published at the website for the National Institute of Health, a chin strap for sleep apnea resulted in an improvement of severe OSA. The chinstrap was found to out-perform the CPAP machine. You can either purchase or make your own chin strap.
Mouth-Guards/Mouthpieces (Purchased Online)
You can purchase a variety of sleep apnea mouth guards and mouthpieces online. They are very much like the mouth guards worn by athletes. While you sleep, the mouth guard holds your lower jaw in proper alignment to keep your airway free and allow easier breathing.
Oral Appliances (Fitted By Your Dentist)
Your dentist can take an impression of your mouth to create a custom mouth guard that will be fitted by the dentist. The device has hinges for ease of jaw movement.
The dental appliance will stabilize your soft palate and tongue so as to facilitate an open airway and easy breathing.
Provent Therapy
Provent Therapy is FDA-approved for the treatment of sleep apnea. This therapy uses disposable micro-valves that are placed over each nostril at nighttime. They prevent collapse of the airway and help you to breathe much more easily.
Winx Sleep Therapy System
The Winx Sleep Therapy System comprises a console, a tube and a flexible mouthpiece. The system draws the soft palate of the mouth forward so as to stabilize the tongue and keep the airway open.
Winx eliminates the need for a mask, making it easier to sleep in any position. However, Winx must be prescribed by a physician.
Sleep Apnea Surgery
Upper Airway Stimulation (Inspire)
The Inspire therapy consists of a surgically-implanted device that monitors the pattern of your breathing during sleep. When needed, it stimulates your main airway muscles so as to keep the airway open.
Studies have concluded that tonsillectomy is a safe and effective surgery for the treatment of sleep apnea. Other clinical research found that overweight children who underwent the surgery for OSA became obese very rapidly.
UPPP stands for uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. This procedure has been widely used for more than 25 years. During surgery, excess tissue is removed from both the pharynx and the soft palate.
Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty/LAUP has been found to be effective in treating general snoring, and may also help sleep apnea.
Pillar Procedure
The Pillar procedure, or soft palate implant, alleviates mild sleep apnea. The procedure uses three polyester rods that are placed into the soft palate. This causes an inflammatory response that stiffens the soft palate. Ultimately, apnea and snoring are reduced.
Mandibular Maxillary Advancement
This is a three- to four-hour surgery in which the upper and lower jaws are moved forward to create a larger airway.
Hyoid Advancement
The hyoid is a very small neck bone that connects the pharynx and the muscles of the base of the tongue. By surgically re-positioning the hyoid, the airway becomes expanded and less likely to collapse.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation is a temperature-controlled procedure that reduces the volume of the tissue in the soft palate. It has helped patients with mild to moderate OSA.
Tongue Advancement
This highly invasive procedure involves moving one of the chief tongue muscles to a more forward position so that the tongue does not fall backward while you sleep. The procedure is very successful.
This surgical technique is generally used on very obese or very sick patients. During the procedure, a passageway is created so that air takes a direct route to the lungs from the trachea in the neck.
Your septum separates the two nostrils of your nose. Septoplasty is the surgical procedure that straightens out a bent septum (the "wall" between your nostrils) so that the flow of air does not become blocked.
Nasal Valve Surgery with Rhinoplasty
Nasal valve surgery with rhinoplasty is a routine treatment for any kind of nasal obstruction that starts at the outside of the nose.
This surgical procedure removes bone and soft tissue to open up your nasal passages and clear airway obstructions.
Like septoplasty, turbinoplasty also straightens your nasal septum. It is a fairly straightforward procedure that does not leave any bruising or swelling. The outward appearance of your nose will remain unchanged, but breathing will be much easier.
Bariatric Surgery
Obesity is both a primary cause of - and a precipitating factor in - sleep apnea. While bariatric surgery for sleep apnea can lead to massive weight loss, research has found that the surgery does not lead to a significant improvement in obstructive sleep apnea.
Apnea Treatment Center is the #1 site on the Web on how to cure sleep apnea naturally without CPAP - but we would be remiss if we didn't cover CPAP therapy, because it's the most common treatment for sleep apnea.
While CPAP is a bitter pill to swallow for many sleep apneics (due to its many side effects), it can also be a life-saver - if you're comfortable sleeping with a mask on your face and you don't experience the drawbacks.
In fact, while there are many sleep apnea sufferers who can't live with CPAP, there are an equal number who couldn't live without it.
So with that in mind, if you're interested in getting the most from your CPAP equipment, we've created a number of guides that we hope will help you:
What is CPAP?
A quick description of how CPAP works.
Types of CPAP Equipment
Did you know there are three different types of "PAP" (positive airway pressure) machine? We explain the difference and which you should choose.
Pros & Cons of Using CPAP Equipment
At this point you probably know that there are quite a few drawbacks to CPAP - but there are also some life-saving benefits. Click here to learn the pros and cons.
Can You Buy CPAP Over the Counter?
This is a common question among people who don't have health insurance. In this guide we cover how to buy a CPAP machine online.
CPAP Masks: Beginner's Guide
The type of CPAP mask you choose will depend on a handful of factors, most importantly your sleeping position. This article is a great beginner's guide to CPAP masks.
Best CPAP Masks
If you've decided to buy a CPAP mask and want to find the best prices online, we have a guide to help you find the best CPAP mask.
Best CPAP Pillows
Regular pillows aren't made for sleeping with CPAP equipment, and finding the right pillow can be a bummer. That's why we created this guide to the best CPAP pillow.
Best CPAP Chin Strap
One big challenge faced by people who "mouth-breathe" is keeping their mouth closed while they're sleeping (to state the obvious, CPAP doesn't work if you don't keep it in your mouth!). So in this guide we cover our recommendations for the best CPAP chin strap.
CPAP Machine Cleaning and Disinfecting
You might be surprised at the amount of toxic and disgusting germs that build up inside a CPAP mask, tube, and machine (or maybe not?). In this guide we tell you all about CPAP machine cleaning and disinfecting as well as the best CPAP disinfectant.
How to Clean Your CPAP Mask
This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to clean your CPAP mask. Not sexy - but necessary!
How to Clean Your CPAP Hose
Just like the previous guide - but for CPAP hoses!
CPAP Cleaners
Even though you can clean your entire CPAP by hand, if you have the money we strongly recommend investing in an automatic CPAP cleaner like the SoClean CPAP Cleaner and Sanitizing Machine. Trust us - once you try it, you'll never want to wash your equipment by hand again!
CPAP Battery Backups
Do you like traveling and/or camping? Then you'll probably need a CPAP battery backup. This is a very practical guide to a surprisingly handy piece of equipment.
CPAP Hose Holders
Last but not least! The neglected CPAP hose holder. You'll be glad we pointed you to this handy little tool!

After spotting jewelry designer Meredith Kahn in person -- a vision of tousled black hair, tattoos, and unusual punky gems -- we'll admit, we were a bit desperate to see what was insider of her handbag.
Equal parts Patti Smith and Chan Marshall, there's no denying that Kahn is one of the coolest ladies designing in New York City. Her jewelry collection, "Made Her Think," which finds inspiration in everything from the Victorian Era to bird talons and cobras, has become a favorite among hip downtown-ers seeking luxe adornments with an edge. While you won't find thorns or tusks in her satchel (and you might half-expect them, considering the content of her collection), Kahn keeps plenty of bauble "back-ups" and design materials on hand to accommodate sudden bursts of inspiration.
1. Sunglasses: "I never leave home without my Norma Kamali tortoise cat-eye sunglasses"
2. Lip Balm: "Fresh's Sugar Lip Tint In Plum is the perfect hint of color and moisture"
3. Design Kit: "Being a designer I never know when or where I will be inspired, so I keep pencils and paper on me at all times. I love pens from Muji in Soho."
4. Candy Wrappers: "As a mother and business owner I am always on the go. I keep candy in my purse to snack on -- Twix are my favorite."
5. European Wallet: "This wallet is an exact replica of my grandfather's from World War II. I loved it so much I had it re-made so that I wouldn't mess up the original. When it was passed down to me it still had European bills in it."
6. iPhone - "I am a Mac! I use my iPhone constantly and always have an iPod for the subway rides."
7. Jewelry - "As a accessories designer, I always have either inspiration pieces or emergency jewelry in my bag. Sometimes both. This 'Viking Ring' is one of my favorite pieces!"
8. Baggu - "I am, and always have been, a bag lady. I feel better knowing I have my BAGGU to use instead of wasting paper or plastic.

I should have a shirt that says: "Street Luge ruined my life" Cuz I can't seem to get any constructive work done anymore.
Anyways, I'm new at this Rush called Street Luge. I picked it up after watching friends fly down hills on their Longboards. I thought I'd bring back 1996 and build a Street Luge, scare myself, then stop. SO much for that... I'm hooked.
I initially built my first 'woodie' as a prototype after doing some research and watching some YouTube videos. Now I want to build a more serious Luge out of Aluminum, and still be a weekend warrior. I've got leathers, stop-shoes, gloves, helmet and a GoPro. Now I'm looking for the resources to help build a better sled. I'll post my current spec's and hardware soon.
Update: Current Setup:
Wooden Droprail Type: Construction 2x4's & Plywood: Gunmetal V2 180mm 42 Degree Double Barrel Trucks: Abec11 75mm 78a Wheels: Wheelbase 51.5''
Total Length 63'': Deck 16'' Wide: 37'' Long. Rider 225lb.
I've got a set of Abec11 90mm flywheels and some board modifications to happen soon.
Ex: Handlebars, and chop the overall lenght. I'd really like to build an aluminum one in the neer future.

So, what would probabilistic tools look like in this context? You could imagine a tool for learning probabilistic models from linked data, but getting it to scale and avoiding overtraining seem like difficult problems.

I never said there weren't difficult problems to solve here ;)... Just meant to indicate that they were worth solving in the long run and we that we have footsteps to follow.
It would be useful if we had tools that could compute relationships between concepts that had not been asserted directly nor could be inferred through deduction and where there was a probability associated with each such relationship. We can do this already with existing methods of course (I imagine Google is very very very good at this for example), but I'd like to see this kind of thing become a focus for the semantic community.

Hi Ben,
Interesting take on this subject. Reasoning and reasoners is not a strength, but do you think there is a role in this for fuzzy logic?
I still think the scope and nature of the predicates used will potentially play a big role.
Thanks, Mike

Mike, I'm not enough of an expert to say whether we should be working with fuzzy logic or a competing approach. Most people I know that do this kind of thing work in terms of Bayesian probability. This is similar in intent, but not equivalent to fuzzy logic.
I don't disagree at all that the nature of the asserted predicates on the semantic web will have a major influence on what can be done. I'm all for getting people to more clearly express what is 'known'. I just think that no matter how good our languages for representing knowledge or our politics for getting those languages shared, there is guaranteed to be a degree of error, a large amount of context sensitivity, and a massive wealth of learnable connections that will never be formally stated.

but, afaik, those statistical models---good data crunchers as they are---aren't really good at representing the knowledge. Maybe Shakey and Stanley could/should get married?
(there is quite a bit of work on probabilisitc ontologies, with Bayesian reasoners and with extensions to the standard DL reasoners).

I think a Shakey-Stanley marriage could be great and, like you say, I know there people working on such things but I haven't as yet gotten my hands on something I could really use. Your comment about statistical models not being good at "representing the knowledge" reminds me of the different arms of this beast. On the one hand, we want to efficiently capture what is known so that we can re-use it and logic-based methods work pretty well for that. On the other, we want to be able to use that knowledge as a way to push discovery and I think that is the place where Stanley really comes into the picture.

I'm tempted to speculate that reasoners might be good at rapidly determining/classifying the type of problem, and [insert something else here] might be good at finding the solution to that problem in-context... (and as you know, I think SWebServices are the "something else" we're looking for ;-) )

Seems like semantic web services are one potential vehicle for dynamically accessing the 'something else(s)', not necessarily 'the' something else by themselves. (I'm guessing thats what you meant.)

SANS Institute Abu Dhabi training to focus on ICS defence
Industrial control systems are inherently insecure, as they are built chiefly with automation and reliability in mind
SANS Institute, which provides cyber security training globally, will hold 'SANS Abu Dhabi 2018' a series of training courses focused on helping regional cyber security professionals skill-up in digital forensics, intrusion detection, and the defence of industrial control systems (ICS).
Historically, ICS systems have been designed chiefly with automation and reliability in mind. But given that Shamoon and other internet-based attacks have specifically targeted the industrial sector in the Middle East, there is a clear need to reassess the effectiveness of current ICS defences.
Professor Thomas Brandstetter, who is teaching the ICS Security Essentials course, observed that both information technology and operational technology roles have converged in today's industrial control system environments, hence the need for a common understanding between the various groups who support or rely on these systems. "Those attending the ICS course will learn the language, the theory, and the basic tools for securing industrial control systems across a wide range of industry sectors and applications," Brandstetter added.
The five-day ICS410: ICS/SCADA Security Essentials course will run from the 8th of April. Other courses featured in SANS Abu Dhabi 2018 include FOR500: Windows Forensic Analysis and SEC503: Intrusion Detection In-Depth.

Francisca Christy Rosana, Jakarta – PKB and Golkar are not the only parties eyeing the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) speaker position. Gerindra also has the ambition to have that position given to its politician.
Gerindra DPD chairman Sodik Mudjahid claims that giving the position to his party is part of the 'reconciliation spirit' after the presidential election.
"The spirit of reconciliation for the unity of the nation must first be shown by members of the MPR, especially political party leaders, in determining who the MPR speaker should be," Sodik said in a written statement Friday, July 19.
According to Sodik, the basics of reconciliation is to reinforce unity for the greater good.
It is for that sole reason, Sodik said, that Prabowo Subianto was willing to meet with president-elect Joko Widodo despite risks of losing supporters.
Therefore, he added, it is fitting for Gerindra to be given the MPR Speaker position, since the DPR speaker seat is already taken by PDIP as the winner of the legislative elections.
Meanwhile, Golkar said they are more eligible to get the position, considering they are the runner-up in the legislative elections. Golkar chairman Airlangga Hartarto said the party has had talks with other parties to establish an MPR package with Golkar's politician as the speaker.

Data can be defined as two values of levels of measurement (qualitative and quantities). Qualitative and quantitative data form the theory of scales by American psychologist Stanley Smith Stevens. Data can be words, numbers, figures, etc. The document that we are discussing contains many dates, percentages, numbers and words. For this statistical investigation, the document should contain sufficient data backing up statements. This gives the reader acknowledgement that sufficient background research has been done.
"More than a billion mobile phone connections have been added to the global tally…" – this statement contains data in the form of words.
An article congaing too many figures can be confusing to the reader. Thus, words can be used to substitute figures. However, this has a weaker effect compared to figures.
The article mentions the number "18". This is an example of a data type (number) used within a sentence to express value. Numbers can be used to ensure a sound effect.
The text mentions "47%".
This is another example of data used to support arguments, statement, and allegations.
The article mentions "June 2010". This, like all previous examples of data types, is used to provide backing to statements.
Dates, percentages, words, and numbers are used to provide precise and specific material. If the article were to contain mere words, it would give a broad, generic vibe.
Qualitative, Quantitative, Subjective and Objective Data
Quantitative data is used to describe things, which can be counted or numerically expressed. Quantitative data can be contrasted to qualitative data. Qualitative data is data, which is used to describe things in terms of qualities or categorizations. Qualitative data can be gathered from interviews and surveys. "Ben Wood, mobile phone analyst at BBC Insight said the mobile phone may be "the most prolific consumer device on the planet"" – This is an example of qualitative data. "…Given that 30 million phones are sold every year in the UK" – This is an example of quantitative data.
The statement is counting that 30 million phones are sold every year in the UK. This is also an objective statement, since it contains facts, which are observed. Subjective data is based on personal feelings, such as someone's opinion or personal judgment. An example of subjective data is: "Mobile phones have taken the word by storm". Subjective and objective data can be quantitatively or qualitatively measured. Capturing Data
Data can be gathered by doing primary or secondary research. To insure data accuracy, one may choose to do a primary research. Primary research involves gathering and processing data personally. Primary data can be gathered in many ways, such as interviews, questionnaire and surveys. There are advantages and disadvantages to all the mentioned methods. Questionnaires can be taken at certain times and compared to previous ones. Results can be used to produce charts and graphs. The results could also be used to forecast upcoming growth, sales, etc. The questionnaire can be specifically designed to reach such results. The downside to questionnaires is misinformation. The consumers could give incorrect information. This might be due to vague questions, or participants rushing through questions. For example, a questionnaire could ask: "Would you recommend this phone to a friend?" The participant might answer with a "yes", while he would not recommend the mobile phone to any of his/her friends. This is a major disadvantage of capturing data through questionnaires.
Capturing data through surveys is another common way. This is usually in the form of feedback. Surveys could be placed on websites to reach larger demography. Thus, feedback can be diverse, in terms of reaching people from many different ethnic and racial backgrounds. This method can be useful in studying the social feasibility of releasing a new product or idea.
Secondary research or desk research is research that is collected from existing primary research. Secondary research is suitable when low cost, quick results are needed. The disadvantage to secondary research is, existing primary research used could be biased or inaccurate. The Internet is also used to conduct secondary research. The Internet contains voluminous amounts of data. However, it could be difficult to find sources of information. Books, newspapers, and magazines could be used to avoid such problems. Using the Internet is much easier in terms of conducting searches through search engines and organizing work. Whether you use books or the Internet, there is always the risk of outdated data (e.g. the data displayed could be of 2003-2009, while the material displays the data as 2003-Present). Newspapers and magazines could be used to do secondary research, as well as Television. The risk of gathering incorrect information is high, this could be due to biased information. In conclusion, primary research is accurate yet time consuming. Secondary research has the high risk of incorrect information, while low in cost.

Recovery is a Decision, Not a Negotiation
This is important.
Each morning I think: "Good morning, John. You are an alcoholic. Pay attention." The first and most fundamental fact about my life is that I am an alcoholic and the first priority is my sobriety. If my sobriety slips to number two in my life, I will probably lose it.
First, I choose to be sober TODAY, and then I find out, as the day goes on, what the price of that choice will be. I don't negotiate a price in advance.
On good days, the price turns out to be low. It is sunny and pleasant, and everyone I meet seems to agree with me. Sobriety is easy. On bad days, it is 100 degrees and humid, and people seem to annoy me. Sobriety is harder and it's price is higher. No matter what, I make the decision for sobriety first, without knowing today's price.
If I try to negotiate sobriety, and set a limit on the price I will pay, I will lose my sobriety. If I say I will go to meetings only when it is convenient, or only if no one offends me, or only if I get to keep my favorite character defects, I will drink again.
On page 58 of the book, the following invitation is offered: "If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it–then you are ready to take certain steps."
That means, unless we are willing to go to any lengths, ready to stop negotiating our recovery, we are not ready to recover.
We avoid recovery by studying recovery instead of recovering. We cannot recover from a disease by studying it. We recover from a disease by treating it. I got a phone call from someone who wanted a scientific book on alcoholism for a friend. The friend had a drinking problem, and didn't want "any of this spiritual stuff", but preferred something scientific. I did as I was asked, and gave the name of a good book of science. I then said, "Giving this book will not help. We can no more recover from alcoholism by reading a scholarly book on alcoholism than we can recover from cancer by reading a scholarly book on cancer."
Another version of negotiating with alcoholism is by negotiating for a lower level of activity than is necessary for recovery. Here we want what the program has, but are not willing to go to any lengths to get it. My first sponsor was blunt. He opened the book in front of me and said, "Here is the book. It's in black & white. There are no grey areas. Read the black part. If you will read chapter 5 & 6, 'How It Works' and 'Into Action', and do what they say, you will never drink or use again."
I have read it, and done it to the best of my ability every day so far, and I have confidence, not in myself, but in this program.
One more thing about this decision: It expires in exactly 24 hours. Every day, I need to make this decision over again. With the Grace of God and the fellowship of the program, I will keep making the right decision, without any negotiations.

My addiction counselor read this to me and gave me a copy and I found it to be incredibly profound and thought I would share it with everyone. Sorry it's so long, but length, in my opinion, doesn't matter much when the content could save a struggling alcoholic's life.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend and I hope to write more soon :)

I really enjoyed reading this - thanks for posting! I agree with him that sobriety has to be number one in your life - it doesn't work if you don't have your sobriety as the number one priority. We certainly made our addictions our number one priority...we have to go to the same lengths in recovery that we went to in our addictions. And my sponsor has said over and over to people who want "what we have" but aren't willing to "go to any length to get it" - "This is NOT easy. If you want what we have, you have to be willing to go to the lengths that we go to. If it was EASY all the time, everyone would do it and stick with it." So true. I'm babbling...but I really did enjoy this :)ReplyDelete

I'm glad someone enjoyed it and commented :) I was beginning to wonder..."is anyone out there" from some song - haha!ReplyDelete
Let's hear from everyone - I know you're out there somewhere :)
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone! I have my first ARU meeting tonite since I've gotten outta rehab and am a little nervous, but my sponsor says I'll be fine and that they will be able to better identify with me since I've just been sober for 57 days. Anyway, I'll let y'all know how it goes!

GE completes Ion Track purchase
PLAINVILLE, Conn. - A month after announcing plans to purchase a provider of advanced trace detection systems used in aviation security and high threat facility security , GE Industrial Systems has closed on the deal.
The acquisition of Wilmington, Mass.-based Ion Track from Castle Harlan, the New York merchant bank, expands GE's offerings of security related services. The company will become a subsidiary of GE Interlogix, with Ion Track's chief executive officer Anthony Jenkins remaining on board. Terms of the transaction were not released.
"The Ion Track acquisition is another strong example of how we are expanding in growth markets, and in ways that help improve people's lives," said Lloyd Trotter, president and chief executive officer of GE Industrial Systems.
GE entered the security market earlier this year, picking up Interlogix in a deal that provided GE with a platform to grow in the security market. Since then, the company has also bought a structured wiring line known as ConnectionCenter.
Ion Track is a pioneer in the advanced detection technologies market. The company developed the first handheld explosive detector using gas chromatography technology. Its product collects and analyzes minute traces of vapor or particles emitted by contraband materials.
"With Ion Track's technology leadership, we can offer our customers a much broader portfolio of GE security solutions to challenges created by events in a changing world," said Ken Boyda, president and chief executive officer of GE Interlogix.
Castle Harlan acquired Ion Track in 2000, according to Ben Sebel, vice president of Castle Harlan. A majority interest of Ion Track was held by a private equity investment fund organized and managed by Castle Harlan. Management also held a substantial stake.

Julian Cope presents JAPROCKSAMPLER.COM
Apryl Fool
Hiroyoshi Yanagida – organ, piano
Eiji Kikuchi – lead guitar
Tadaki 'Chu' Kosaka – lead vocals
Haruomi Hosono – bass
Takashi Matsumoto – drums
Led by prime mover and ex-Floral organist Hiro Yaganida, the extremely cool and longhaired Apryl Fool quintet was one of the few New Rock bands even to approach the power and originality of their Western equivalents. Still suffering from weak-as-shit drumming and an inability to let go of their eary '60s influences, Apryl Fool nevertheless hit a coupla real peaks on their lone self-titled LP, released in 1969 on Nippon Columbia. For, while most of the record is perfunctory bar-room post-Animals blues, their attempt at real psychedelia on 'The Lost Motherland' does approach genuine meltdown, in much the same way as late '60s American LPs such as St. Stephen were want to do. If only there had been more of that stuff within the grooves, though… who really needed versions of Dylan's 'Pledging My Time'? Well, bass player Hosono and drummer Matsumoto, obviously, for the pair of them went in precisely that obvious direction with their next Band/Little Feat-styled project Happy End. And mightily successful they were, too. Nothing more was heard from lead guitarist Eiji Kikuchi, but vocalist Tadaki Kosaka joined the chorus of the musical HAIR. Keyboardist Yanagida also worked on HAIR, but in the far more lofty position of keyboard player in the house band. Thereafter, he recorded two solo LPs, MILK TIME and a self-titled second effort, as well as contributing major to the sessions for Love Live Life +1 and Foodbrain.

For those who haven't seen it yet, here are the photos from the facebook campaign, (Be)lieve in (You)rself. I've noticed that on social media sites girls tend to be awfully critical and negative towards themselves and others. I've even seen girls post photos where the caption underneath is 'ugly', 'gross' or even just 'ew'. With this campaign we're aiming to stop all the self-hate by spreading messages of positivity. Check out the awesome photos below, and there's even more to come!

So the boss has left me alone with the dogs already! She went north to Kotzebue on Saturday to see the Kobuk 440 sled dog race and stay with friends. She'll be back tomorrow. It has been weird to be completely alone with 40 dogs, so soon. Thankfully, the dogs have all been very-well behaved. No sick dogs, no loose dogs, no bad dogs! I think we are coming to an understanding.
For entertainment, I have been calling a lot of people and talking their ears off. Thanks for listening! I have also watched two Pink Panther movies with the amazing Peter Sellars. However, for those of you who actually care about this: The Revenge of the Pink Panther and The Trail of the Pink Panther SUCK. With a capital S. Peter Sellars is forced to re-hash old rountines in both films. I have to say, nothing in the Pink Panther series compares to The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976). Classic Sellars and Herbert Lom (former Chief Inspector Dreyfus) at their finest.
Anyway, enough about free movies from the library. Dogs are good, weather is good, missing Indiana and the people who inhabit the state is BAD. I think the move has hit me and I miss all things familiar. I have been trying to keep busy as best I can; it is hard when there is little to do around the property. I also have to wait to fix up my cabin until I get added to the Spenard Building Supply account that the boss has. Ah, unending credit at a hardware store….that could be dangerous.
Tomorrow I am officially hanging out and making friends! A super nice couple I met at the boss's birthday party have offered to have me over for lunch, while my truck is being worked on (note to future car buyers: check to make sure the headlights work before you drive a car off the lot). The same couple worked as dog handlers for my boss for 3 1/2 years, while she was first building her house and moving from northern Alaska. So, I suppose they have some insight that will be useful. It will also be nice to converse with other humans that aren't 3500 miles away or strangers. It will be nice to not be alone!

When an individual dies, their debts have to be paid and their assets, including property and money, have to be distributed. If the decedent did not have a living trust, then the probate process may be necessary, even if there is a will. Many states throughout the country follow the Uniform Probate Code; however, California does not. The state of California has its own probate code, which is complex. You can benefit from enlisting the assistance of a Huntington Beach estate planning lawyer from our firm.
At Sterzer & Associates, A Law Corporation, we are dedicated to helping clients understand the steps that must be taken during the probate process. After a loved one has died, you must first determine whether probate is necessary. In California, probate is necessary if the value of all property not held in trust and not passing by beneficiary designation or right of survivorship exceeds $150,000. If probate is necessary, the estate representative must present the will, if one exists, to the probate court. As you pursue probate on behalf of your deceased loved one, obtain guidance from our Huntington probate attorney so that every aspect of the process is handled correctly.
Probate begins after a petition is submitted to the probate court to initiate the proceedings. Important probate actions include:
At Sterzer & Associates, A Law Corporation, we can help you through probate. Without proper assistance, it can become extremely complicated, especially with large estates, and certain property could be distributed in ways that conflict with the family's wishes. Common complications to probate consist of having no will present, legal challenges to the will, and complex estates. Securing the service of a Huntington Beach probate attorney can help make the process run smoothly. Contact us today to schedule a consultation!
