Seborrheic Dermatitis
• Dandruff, Seborrhea
• ]]>Aloe]]>
• ]]>Folate]]>, ]]>Tea Tree Oil]]>, ]]> Vitamin B 6]]>
Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammation of the upper layers of the skin that causes scales on the scalp, face, and other parts of the body. When it affects newborns, it's called cradle cap.
Seborrheic dermatitis starts gradually. In adults, it often first appears as a condition similar to dandruff, but involving more inflammation of the scalp; itching, burning, or hair loss may occur. Seborrhea may also affect the skin behind the ears, on the eyebrows, on the bridge of the nose, around the nose, or on the trunk.
Besides inflammation of the scalp, newborns with cradle cap might get red bumps on their faces, scaling behind the ears, or a persistent diaper rash. Older children with seborrheic dermatitis may develop a thick, flaky rash.
Seborrhea tends to run in families and often worsens during cold weather. Researchers don't know what causes it and they haven't found a cure, but there are ways to control the condition. Special shampoos containing selenium sulfide, pyrithione zinc, salicylic acid, sulfur, or tar may be helpful for adult dandruff associated with seborrhea.
]]>Corticosteroids]]> may be used for intensely inflammatory lesions. Milder treatments, such as salicylic acid in mineral oil or medicated baby shampoo, are used to treat young children and infants who have scalp rashes.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
There is some evidence that the herb aloe might offer some relief to people with seborrheic dermatitis.
The gel inside the cactus-like leaves of the aloe plant ( Aloe vera ) has traditionally been used to treat burns and cuts. While it may not be effective for this purpose, a recent study indicates that aloe may help relieve the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis.
In this double-blind, placebo-controlled]]> study, 44 adults with seborrheic dermatitis applied either an aloe ointment or a placebo cream to affected areas 2 times daily for 4 to 6 weeks. Compared to the placebo group, those who used aloe reported that their symptoms improved significantly (62% versus 25%). Doctors who examined the participants also concluded that those using aloe had a significant decrease in scaliness, itching, and number of affected areas. ]]>1]]>
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full ]]>Aloe]]> article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
In a 4-week, placebo-controlled study of 126 people with mild to moderate dandruff, use of 5% tea tree oil]]> shampoo significantly reduced dandruff symptoms. ]]>5]]> Unfortunately, this study was not ]]>double-blind]]> : the researchers knew which participants were receiving tea tree oil and which were receiving placebo. For this reason, its results can't be taken as completely reliable. (For more information on why double-blinding matters, see ]]>Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies?]]> )
One small double-blind study found benefit for dandruff with an extract made from the traditional Mexican herb Solanum chrysotrichum . ]]>6]]>
Highly preliminary studies in the 1950s and 60s suggest that ]]>folate]]> taken orally, or ]]> vitamin B 6]]> applied topically, may relieve some symptoms. ]]>2,3]]>
Essential fatty acids, ]]>zinc]]> , ]]>iron]]> , and vitamins ]]>A]]> , ]]>E]]> , ]]>D]]> , ]]> B 1]]> , ]]> B 2]]> and ]]>C]]> have also been suggested as treatments for seborrheic dermatitis but there is no real evidence as yet that they work. ]]>4]]>

Israeli PM rejects corruption allegations in live address billed as 'dramatic announcement'
JERUSALEM — In what was billed as a "dramatic announcement," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a prime-time address on Monday to again dismiss a series of corruption allegations against him.
Netanyahu said that it would be "unjust" for him to be indicted ahead of early elections called for April 9 without a chance to respond to the claims against him. He said authorities had denied his requests to confront state witnesses in person, and he offered to do so on live television. "What are they afraid of? What do they have to hide?" he said.
Police have recommended indicting Netanyahu on an array of charges stemming from three corruption investigations, but it falls to Netanyahu's hand-picked attorney general, Avichai Mandelblit, to decide whether to bring charges. It's unclear whether he will do so before early elections scheduled for April 9.
Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing and branded the investigations a "witch hunt" orchestrated by his political opponents and a hostile media. He has said he will not give up his re-election campaign or resign from office if indicted.
The Israeli media scrambled to cover his address on Monday, running it live on all major stations, only to have commentators widely dismiss the brief address as a ploy by the prime minister to again attack the investigation.
In a terse statement, the Justice Ministry defended its probes, saying they had been handled professionally.
Last month, police recommended indicting Netanyahu on bribery charges, saying they believed he had used his connections with the controlling shareholder of Israel's telecom giant, Bezeq, to promote regulatory changes worth hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for positive press coverage on Bezeq's popular news site Walla.
Police said they believed there was sufficient evidence to charge Netanyahu and his wife Sara with accepting bribes, fraud and breach of trust.
Police have also recommended indicting Netanyahu on corruption charges in two other cases. One involves accepting gifts from billionaire friends, and the second revolves around alleged offers of advantageous legislation for a major newspaper in return for favorable coverage.
Over the course of the investigations, three former top aides to Netanyahu have turned state witnesses against him.
Netanyahu nevertheless said Monday that he was "certain of my innocence."
"I request to confront all the witnesses who stated things that don't align with my position, the truth," he said.

No fewer than five co-located events related to the materials handling industry are happening between Monday and Thursday at McCormick Place. In addition to ProMat 2011 in the South building, Automate 2011 is located right across the Grand Concourse hallway in the North building.
Organizations affiliated with the materials handling and robotics industries have seized the opportunity to host events during these four days—including the 42nd International Symposium on Robotics (fully integrated with Automate) and the 2011 Industrial Crane & Hoist Conference (co-located with ProMat).
Further, associations and affiliated groups are hosting gatherings to give show visitors the chance to meet and learn more about topics specific to their industry in private rooms at McCormick Place. These include WERC Council of Chicago, The Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA), and the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL).
Automate 2011
Your ProMat 2011 registration not only gives you access to all the exhibits, keynotes and educational sessions located in McCormick Place South—but also grants you full access to Automate 2011, held across the Grand Concourse in McCormick Place North. Like ProMat, Automate is held just once every two years.
Formerly known as the International Robots, Vision & Motion Control Show (which dates back to 1977), Automate showcases the latest robotic, vision, motion control and automation technologies and systems from leading global suppliers. It is sponsored by the Automation Technologies Council (ATC) and its trade associations Robotic Industries Association (RIA), Automated Imaging Association (AIA) and Motion Control Association (MCA). More information about the show can be found at [url=http://www.automate2011.com]http://www.automate2011.com[/url].
The idea of co-locating the two shows has been discussed for nearly 20 years, says John Nofsinger, CEO of the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA, [url=http://www.mhia.org]http://www.mhia.org[/url]) and sponsor of ProMat. "Of all the events out there, there's a reasonable amount of overlap in materials handling and robotics technologies—obviously robotics are used in vision and motion in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution—but MHIA and ATC don't have a lot of overlap in membership that might complicate matters for exhibitors."
Co-locating the shows gives attendees even more to do and see with the limited amount of travel time and budget that they have, Nofsinger says, because of the logical fit between the industries and their technologies. "This has particularly become the case as the robotics industry evolves away from primarily manufacturing line use and the technologies are finding their way into non-manufacturing applications, such as warehousing, packaging and assembly," he adds.
Right at the front of Automate 2011, companies that provide integration of automation, robotics and machine vision will show actual demonstrations of systems. This allows attendees to see live demos that solve the challenges they face in their industry, as well as to learn from solutions used in other industries that may be beneficial to them.
A comprehensive educational conference and certification program accompany the Automate show. Classes are for skill levels from beginner to advanced, and are taught by experienced industry professionals. Other highlights include an emerging robotics pavilion, a theater with demonstrations of new products, a display celebrating 50 years of robotics, a gala dinner to present the Engleberger Awards Tuesday night, and a networking dinner Wednesday night.
Both shows share identical hours: Monday through Wednesday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Additionally, ProMat and Automate are co-hosting this morning's keynote address, "Fortune Favors the Brave: The Net Gain of Supply Chain Security in a Risk-Based World." Presented by Tom Ridge, the United States' first Secretary of Homeland Security and a distinguished statesman, the keynote runs Monday from 8:45 to 9:45 a.m.
Both events have also teamed up to present Tuesday's keynote address, "The Development of Robonaut 2 (R2)," presented by insiders at NASA and General Motors from 8:45 to 9:45 a.m.
42nd International Symposium on Robotics
Held in the United States for the first time since 2007, the 42nd International Symposium on Robotics (ISR) is considered the world's leading annual robotics conference. Held in conjunction with Automate 2011, ISR attracts a global audience seeking the latest developments in industrial robotics, service robotics and robotics research.
"From the conference topics to the exhibits on the trade show floor to the special events, I think this will the most exciting ISR we've ever hosted in North America," says Jeffrey A. Burnstein, president of the Automation Technologies Council. "We look forward to greeting industry leaders from throughout the world."
Robotics-related sessions of special interest to ISR participants include: The Fundamentals of Robotics, Robotics System Integration; Advances in Robotics Research, New Developments in Robot Safety, The Latest Developments in Service Robotics, Cost Justifying Automation, Advances in Robotic Vision, and The Latest Developments in Human-Machine Interfaces.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Hosted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the U.S. Department of Energy, a full-day workshop is offered Monday to discuss current onboard energy storage technologies and industry experiences with alternative technologies.
Entitled "Onboard Energy Storage Performance Needs for Motive Markets," the workshop is geared end users, OEMs, distribution center operators. Participants will learn more about cost, reliability and performance of onboard energy storage devices for materials handling equipment, as well as about commercially available clean, efficient, and cost-effective alternative technologies.
The workshop will be held in Room 501 B/C on the fifth level of McCormick Place South, and is broken into two sessions, from 9:00 a.m. to noon and again from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Lunch (from noon to 1:00 p.m.) is included for registered workshop attendees.
Workshop attendance is open to the public, with pre-registration required (registration for ProMat 2011 is not required). To register, contact Chris Ainscough, senior engineer for technology validation in NREL's Hydrogen Technology and Systems Center at 303-275-3781 or [email protected].
Warehousing Education and Research Council's (WERC) Chicagoland WERCouncil
Members of the Chicagoland WERCouncil will gather Monday in Room S401A on the fourth level of McCormick Place South for a luncheon and to hear ideas for reducing worker injuries by changing the approach to health and safety training in the warehouse.
The presentation, entitled "An Ounce of Prevention," features speakers Troy R. Appel, director of central distribution at CDW Corporation and Dennis Downing, CEO of Future Industrial Technologies.
Appel and Dowling will share a case study detailing how CDW's injury rated decreased substantially—while production and employee morale improved—after the company implemented an innovative work-safe program. The company's initiatives included a focus on education, stress-reducing stretches and hands-on training.
The session is open to WERC members and pre-registration through the organization ([url=http://www.werc.org]http://www.werc.org[/url]) is required.
Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA)
Monday night, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m., the Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA) will host a reception for its members in Room 402A at McCormick Place South. MHEDA is the only national trade association dedicated solely to improving the proficiency of the materials handling equipment distributor.
The reception is sponsored by MHEDA.NET, a program organized by the group for distributors to meet virtually for discussion of industry business topics. Nearly 200 distributors are currently involved in the program.
Additionally, the group has reserved Room 402B in McCormick Place South for all four days of the show as an amenity for its members, giving them a space to meet face-to-face and unwind away from the show floor.
For more information, drop by MHEDA's Booth 1878 in the Center for Manufacturing & Assembly Solutions section of the ProMat show floor. The organization's members and staff will be on hand to provide information about membership benefits, educational programs and networking opportunities. The exhibit also highlights the group's 56th Annual Convention, held from April 30 to May 4 at the JW Desert Ridge in Phoenix.
2011 Industrial Crane & Hoist Conference
Developed as an independent forum where crane users and suppliers can discuss the real-world dynamics of working with overhead crane and hoists, the Industrial Crane & Hoist Conference (ICHC) is also being held in conjunction with ProMat.
Held only on Tuesday, the conference is in Room S504 on the fifth level of McCormick Place South. The event is supported by the Overhead Alliance, which consists of the Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMMA), the Monorail Manufacturers Association (MMA), and the Hoist Manufacturers Institute (HMI).
At ICHC, safety personnel, fleet and facility managers, and crane operators from all industries that use overhead cranes and hoists will find information to help them enhance both productivity and safety in their facilities.
ICHC sessions kick off at 7:30 a.m. with registration and coffee, and launch into opening remarks at 8:30 a.m. Discussion topics include industry regulations, safety training and the application of new technologies. The conference concludes at 3:40 p.m., at which time attendees are invited to join a tour of the ProMat show floor.
ProMat 2011 will be held March 21 - 24, 2011 at McCormick Place South in Chicago. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry.

The Nissan Leaf electric car's advertised purpose is protecting the environment. But with an advertised range of 100 miles-per-charge and a propensity for running out of juice early and with little warning, the company's solution in Japan involves chucking that "save the earth" nonsense out the window in favor of a big ol' diesel-engined five-ton truck.
Don't tell Captain Planet, but Nissan would rather not leave electric car owners stuck on some Japanese highway tweeting away about how much their car sucks so they've teamed up with the Japanese Automobile Federation — Japan's version of AAA — to provide a giant portable generator.
Dubbed the "EV Rescue Vehicle," the five-ton truck runs on good old dependable recycled dinosaur with a 29-kilowatt diesel generator attached to the back. Its crew of two Mighty Morphing Powering Rangers work to give the Leaf another 25 miles, which involves hanging out on the roadside 20 minutes spewing particulates into the air. Particulates that are likely KILLING A POLAR BEAR RIGHT NOW.
According to Automotive News, the JAF has rescued 86 stranded electric vehicles in less than a year, the vast majority of which suffered from dead batteries. Sounds like there may actually be something to that whole "range anxiety" thing.
Right now this is just a pilot program for cars in Nissan's home prefecture, so if you're anywhere else in the world your best solution is probably to carry a 5,000-ft extension cord with you.

An inspirational story of getting a decent book published about an inspirational story of conquering illness.
How meta!
Posted on January 21, 2010 Posted by John Scalzi 15 Comments
What you want to hear vs. what you need to hear: This is an eternal struggle with writers when they approach someone to read the drafts of their work. What you want to hear ("It's brilliant! Change nothing!") is sometimes very different than what you need to hear ("Here are the problems") — so much so that even when we hear what we need to, we'll still fight against it.
Josh Sundquist knows of this struggle. A cancer survivor turned motivational speaker, he had written a draft of what would eventually become his memoir Just Don't Fall: How I Grew Up, Conquered Illness, and Made it Down the Mountain. He knew what he wanted to hear about it. But was he ready for what he needed to hear? Let's find out.
"My advice to you," the handwritten letter read, "Is to throw away this draft of the manuscript and start over from scratch."
I was too young to understand it at the time, but I was lucky to receive such a letter. Very, very lucky.
Most first-time authors, upon completing their manuscript, assemble an inner circle of friends and family to read over the draft and give their honest feedback as to whether they think it's ready to be submitted to agents. But therein lies the problem with this practice. Friends and family are inherently biased to like anything you produce and tell you what you want to hear. You are a genius. This is a surefire bestseller. It would make a great movie, too, probably staring somebody really famous.
What an author needs instead is an impartial reader, someone who doesn't know him personally. There are two ways to find such a person. Number one, you could approach a random individual in a bookstore or some other place book readers tend to congregate (say, Whole Foods), hand her your manuscript, and hope she has an unnaturally strong inclination towards lending her free time to strangers. Number two, you could pay for feedback from a professional. But most first time authors don't have that kind of money. I know I didn't back when I wrote my initial draft.
Which is why I went with option one: Getting lucky with a near stranger. That, of course, is the very definition of high risk behavior (in writing and otherwise), but I was fortunate in that I received the aforementioned painfully honest handwritten letter in response to my request for feedback.
I was only sixteen years old at the time. As it happened, I had been featured in a national newspaper for the motivational speaking career I had recently launched. I was traveling to schools across the country, talking about how I had lost my leg to childhood cancer and gone on to become an internationally ranked ski racer.
After it was published, I sent the writer of the article my manuscript and asked if he'd read it. He was a professional journalist, I figured, so maybe he'd have some helpful suggestions.
He did. And that's how I found myself reading his handwritten note telling me to throw away my life story as I'd written it and start over.
"You to need to tell us what it was really like for you," he wrote. "You're hiding behind motivation."
He was right. It was a habit I'd developed on stage as a fledgling speaker, coupling motivational clichés with an I'm-so-perfect-and-heroic version of my story. But it wouldn't be until I returned to writing in my mid-twenties that I was ready to take his advice.
Back in the first draft, for example, I wrote about my amputation like I was some kind of inspirational wunderkind, perfectly resolute in my bravery even at the tender age of nine. Why I wrote this way, I'm not sure. I guess it was a role I thought I was supposed to play as a motivational speaker. But when I wrote the new draft, I was ready to share the real story, the story of how for weeks leading up to the amputation I would sit in bed and hold my leg and cry myself to sleep. I wasn't brave. I wasn't inspirational. I was just a boy facing the fact he'd never play soccer again.
When I took drafts of this new manuscript to friends and family, I received warnings that certain passages were overly raw and revealing, that they were dangerous to my career as a motivational speaker. But this time around, I knew these readers were too close to me, that they just wanted to protect me, that they in fact loved me too much to be able to step back and understand my big idea: Writing a memoir that connects on a deep, human level means writing a memoir that strips off the public mask and exposes the deeply flawed and frail child hiding underneath.

Learning how to be self-critical helps. I mean, if you can't criticize your own work, then it's going to be even harder to listen to someone else. A good coach can make all the difference, of course. But I assume, with more artistic endeavors, that criticism can be based on much more than performance. Sure, you need to lean the bones of your craft, and that craft can be honed, but then the art needs to be experienced with a sense of naivety. For instance, how to you coach an author like William S. Burroughs? Who said: "Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it 'creative observation.' Creative viewing."
Or how to you coach or critique a painter or his new style?
Too much reliance on other peoples' opinion of your art will kill your Muse.
Another option somewhere in between those listed is to form or join a critique with other writers (who don't happen to be close friends.) Obviously, this can turn into a case of the blind leading the blind, but at least you can get objective comments from a group of interested and willing readers.
you seem to have made a type: your amazon link seems to be the same BN link.
as have I [made a typo]
gonzo @4: Shhhhh.
Sweeeet! I'm an adaptive ski instructor, but I hadn't heard about this book yet. I can't wait to get my hands on it!
I started posting chapters and segments of my various works-in-progress on-line; of course, a lot of the readers were cyber-friends, and fans anyway. Then I did some "swaps" with other authors – you read mine and critique, I read yours … and after a while, it wasn't the comments saying "I love this!" or "You should do that!" so much, it was those comments which gave me better ideas about how to manage the story, or made me think more deeply about my rationale for telling it a certain way.
The best kind of critical reader is the kind who fires you up with fresh ideas about your particular project.
This may possibly be the best Big Idea piece yet. (And a lesson that anyone who builds fictional characters should take to heart… I know I will!)
This is a really big Big Idea!
Also, I will be buying this, as I have been a fan of champion athletes with disabilities-turned-writers-and-motivational speakers ever since I got to know Bonnie St. John in college.
I know Bonnie! She, of course, used to compete in the same sport as me–disabled alpine ski racing. She's great, huh?
I know the bar is quite high for the Big Idea pieces, so thanks, I really appreciate that!!
Maybe I'm crazy, but I wouldn't mind reading a book about how this book became a book, starting with the first draft.
This is very compelling.
I think another good option is if you have friends who give honest critiques— especially if they're not precisely your target audience. If you're writing "the next Mercedes Lackey" book, why not run it by somebody who is, perhaps, more an expert on engineering? Then they can tell you that your town is unlikely, your fights are implausible, and your society doomed— and then tell you why.
And maybe the story will turn in another direction after that…
Thanks, Jason — I appreciate that!

Major Porn Site Will Donate Money to a Breast Cancer Charity for Every Boob Video You Watch
If tearjerking comedy shows aren't enough of an incentive to support breast cancer research, perhaps PornHub's "Save the Boobs" promotion might persuade you to lend a hand.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (and to celebrate the passing of No Fap September), the world's third largest porn site is offering to donate 1 cent to a breast cancer charity for every 30 views of either a "big tit video" or a "small tit video."
If that doesn't seem like a lot, consider this: Over 12 million videos have been viewed so far this month — and it's only October 5th.
PornHub is still looking for a charity willing to get in bed with it — Susan G. Komen for the Cure pulled out at the last minute, saying it did not want the website's money.
If you're a breast cancer charity and would like to partner with PornHub, get in touch with them. Just make sure to wash your hands afterwards.

Advertising Your Home Business on a Budget
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
When you are starting out in a new home business and no one
knows who you are, one of the greatest challenges you will face
is how to drum up new business.
If there were not people in your community or marketplace that
you knew who needed your products or services, you probably
would not have started your business to begin with. But, once
you have talked to those who you personally knew who needed your
what you offer, then your next task is to find others who will
help keep your doors open.
Many people know that they must turn to advertising at some
point in the future, but they hope that day will be long down
the road. For some, this Utopian concept will come to fruition.
But for the rest of us in the real world, we must come up with
creative solutions for meeting our home business advertising
needs while working within our budget.
Most people have a misconception about having to spend lots of
money in order to advertise their home business. When you start
out, you honestly will not have much money available for
advertising, and if you do, you should still spend it wisely.
Before you jump headfirst into the world of advertising, let me
share some of the lessons I have learned concerning this most
important topic.
It does not have to cost an arm and a leg to advertise your home
business, unless you fail to plan and fail to test.
As much as is possible, you should always test your advertising.
If you jump in and start dumping tons of money in to advertising
without first testing your advertising, you might find yourself
broke and without sales at the end of the road. Most people who
commit this error write off their failure on the home business
they chose or the economy or any of a hundred other excuses.
But, if they are unwilling to take responsibility for their
mistake, they will never learn from their mistake. Don't let
this be you.
All testing should be done in blocks. If you begin to advertise
simultaneously in newspapers, radio and television, how will you
know which advertising is bringing people to your cash register?
You won't. All you will know that something might be working,
but you will not know what is actually doing the trick.
Even if you tell people in your advertising to tell you how they
found you, my experience shows that fewer than 10% of the people
ever will tell you anything — and those people who do may not
even get the facts straight! You cannot rely on your customers
to tell you what advertising is working for your home business.
You must put in the extra effort to know for yourself.
Only when you have a proven and solid advertising portfolio
should you venture to drop big bucks in an advertising campaign.
Even then, you should be careful to keep further measurements to
determine how much the maximum advantage of an ad would be.
Sometimes you might be able to reach ten times as many people,
but depending on the kind of media and other factors, the
additional exposure will only generate twice as many sales. Keep
your eye attuned to situations like this to get the most from
your advertising dollars.
As Lesson #3 illustrates, sometimes your best advertising
investment may actually cost you less money. When you are first
starting out, whether you are running a home business or a
business outside of your home, you need to be able to get people
talking and thinking about your business.
If you are busy testing ads in media's such as the newspaper,
magazines, radio, and television, you need to learn ways of
promoting your business that do not require large cash
expenditures. A few examples are:
· Word of Mouth
· Business Cards
· Press Releases
· Non-Primetime Ads on Radio and Television
Here is more information about each type of low-cost advertising:
This of course is the cheapest kind of advertising on the planet
— it does not cost you anything. Ask your customers if they
know anyone who could also use your products or services. When
they are happy with your offerings and service, they will be
willing to tell you whom you can contact, and they will pass the
word for you.
You can usually pick up 500 business cards for about $20. When
you do, hand them out. Do not give more than a couple of cards
to each person. If they need more cards from you, they will ask.
Some people are known to network with others on a regular basis.
Some of these people are also known to be always looking for an
extra few bucks. With these people, you can suggest to them that
if they write their name on the back of one of your business
cards and the card is presented to you, then you will pay a
referral fee to them. You do not have to offer much —
sometimes one dollar is enough. Look at your home business and
your offerings and decide how much would be a good referral fee.
Press Releases are a good source for generating news about your
home business. The business editor at your local newspaper is
always on the lookout for a good business story to fill the
business news section of the newspaper.
Of course, the business editor understands the economics of
running a paper and is more inclined to run your story if you
buy advertising in his/her publication, but will still print
stories for special events and openings.
The important thing to remember about Press Releases is that it
must be constructed in the form of a news story. Even if you are
a sole proprietorship, quotes from you should be written in a
third person format: John Doe said, "Your quote here."
A Press Release should pack the most important information at
the beginning of the copy, and leave extra details towards the
You should always provide the reporter who gets the task a
simple and easy way for him/her to contact you directly. Often
the reporter will want to contact you to get details that will
enhance their take on your story.
To learn more about creating Press Releases, you may check out
Rusty Cawley's site: http://www.PRrainmaker.com/
Believe it or not, some of the b.est r.ates for radio and
television are on the overnight and non-primetime venues. These
target times are not a total waste as they can easily keep the
infomercial people in business.
These off-hours are just less populated than the primetime hours.
Don't be afraid to check your local radio and television rates
for non-primetime hours to see what bargains may exist. With
television, primetime is 7pm to 10pm. With radio, primetime is
8am to 5pm. This sure leaves a whole lot of hours available to
advertise your home business at discount rates!
When it comes down to it, there is a lot to understand about
advertising, but when you have the basic knowledge down pat,
everything will fall into place and bring more dollars to your
bank account.

That is excellent advice on Double Chin Diary, my friend. "We should not drink loads of water at the same time as eating. A lot of people wrongly assume that drinking water as we eat is the best for us, and as you say, it is not. Your stomach does fill quicker, and it "dilutes" the nutrients that the food has to offer you.
I first wanted to read this blog because of the title lol.
http://bit.ly/2Mk8CkM VERY EFFECTIVE WAY
Great advice, this could help others too thanks

I was 260lbs and severely depressed. Drinking to much, eating to much not working out. I felt like I was in the worst cycle of my life. I needed help, I needed a kick start because I felt like I couldn't do it on my own. Biofit quite possibly saved my life. It helped me loose wieght even with an unhealthy lifestyle. Then when I started seeing results it gave me the motivation to get after it!!! Started light, easy yoga, stuff like that. Then after 3 weeks I lost 3 inches and was down 14 pounds!!! Long story short, one year later I'm 152 and actually went rock climbing the other day!!!!!! Do this for yourself, this is the link I used, http://hybridmarketing.org/Biofitchallenge Love yourself!!!!!!

Google now appears to be going full throttle on personalization, choosing it as the way forward to improve relevance and usefulness.
The short story is this. By watching what you click on in search results, Google can learn that you favor particular sites. For example, if you often search and click on links from Amazon that appear in Google's results, over time, Google learns that you really like Amazon. In reaction, it gives Amazon a ranking boost. That means you start seeing more Amazon listings, perhaps for searches where Amazon wasn't showing up before.
Searchers will have the ability to opt-out completely, and there are various protections designed to safeguard privacy. However, being opt-out rather than opt-in will likely raise some concerns.
With only one generic relevance rank, Google has been finding it is increasingly difficult to improve search quality because not everyone agrees on how relevant a particular page is to a particular search. At some point, to get further improvements, Google has to customize relevance to each person's definition of relevance. When you do that, you have personalized search.
For more on recent moves to personalize news and advertising at Google, please see my posts, "Google CEO on personalized news" and "Google AdWords now personalized".
Update: Two hours later, Danny Sullivan writes a second post, "Google's Personalized Results: The 'New Normal' That Deserves Extraordinary Attention", that also is well worth reading.

OVERVIEW: What every practitioner needs to know
Are you sure your patient has an epidural hematoma? What are the typical findings for this disease?
Epidural hematoma (EDH) is an intracranial hemorrhage between the outer membrane of the brain (dura mater) and the skull, usually caused by trauma. The hematoma is most often caused by laceration of the meningeal arteries or their branches. However, in children the most likely etiology is venous bleeding from skull fractures in areas of rapid bone growth.
Typical locations for children are frontal, parietooccipital and posterior fossa. Clinical signs vary depending upon the age of the child. Classic symptoms are initial decrease in consciousness caused by the actual trauma, followed by a symptom-free interval. As blood accumulates in the epidural space, the child can deteriorate rapidly. Computer tomography (CT) typically demonstrates a biconvex and hyperdense lesion restricted by suture lines, often associated with a midline shift.
Prompt diagnosis and management are essential to avoid neurological deterioration and subsequent deficits.

Epidural hematomas occur most commonly after a head trauma, which may cause a temporary loss of consciousness or a coma. The trauma often involves the temporal lobe and leads to tearing of the middle meningeal artery; it can also occur from rupture of the anterior meningeal artery or the dural venous sinuses. The majority of cases are accompanied by skull fracture.
EDH may be associated with a transient period of consciousness, also known as a "lucid interval", after the initial loss of consciousness due to the primary brain injury. Following this "lucid interval", rapid deterioration due to blood accumulation may cause headache, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, aphasia, seizures and hemiparesis.
If the hematoma remains unresolved, potential complications include increased intracranial pressure (ICP), ipsilateral dilated pupil due to compression of the oculomotor nerve, and the Cushing response comprised of hypotension, irregular breathing, as well as bradycardia. EDH involving the posterior fossa often raises the ICP by obstructing the fourth ventricle outlets and causing hydrocephalus. In addition, cortical blindness may also be a presenting symptom.
What other disease/condition shares some of these symptoms?
Subdural hematomas (SDH) are associated with a slower onset EDHs due to the slower venous bleeding. Clinical signs may appear within minutes or may be as delayed as 2 weeks. The head computed tomography (CT) shows a hyperdense crescent-shaped lesion in acute SDH.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may present with variable symptoms. The characteristic features include a severe and sudden-onset headache, often described as "worst headache of my life". The headache may be associated with a brief loss of consciousness, seizure, nausea, vomiting, or meningismus. On CT scan, blood is present in over 90% of the cases if imaging is performed in the first 24 hours.
What caused this disease to develop at this time?
Epidural hematoma is almost exclusively due to head trauma. The highest incidence occurs in adolescents and young adults. The temporal lobe is often involved, disrupting the sphenoid bone and tearing the middle meningeal artery as it passes through the foramen spinosum. This rupture leads to blood accumulation between the dura and the skull. The expanding hematoma resembles a biconvex lens on imaging studies. Increasing ICP secondary to blood accumulation ultimately leads to brain herniation and death, unless the compression is surgically released.
Although most cases involve arterial damage, disrupting one of the dural venous structures can also result in EDH. In this case, clinical deterioration may be gradual, corresponding to a slower accumulation of venous blood.
Non-traumatic EDH is very rare, and some possible causes include complication of neurosurgical procedure, epidural abscess, hemorrhagic tumors, infection, coagulopathy, congenital anomalies or vascular malformations of the dura, pregnancy, sickle cell disease, systematic lupus erythematosus, open heart surgery, Paget disease of the skull and hemodialysis.
What laboratory studies should you request to help confirm the diagnosis? How should you interpret the results?
Head CT and/or brain MRI should be obtained initially. Lumbar puncture is contraindicated in a setting of acute bleeding and increased ICP. Supplementary laboratory studies should include a complete blood count and coagulation profile. These studies are essential to the management of EDH.
Various other studies may be necessary depending on the individual case. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a useful tool to assess the neurological status of the patient; furthermore, in children aged 2 years and younger, the pediatric GCS is recommended.
Would imaging studies be helpful? If so, which ones?
Head CT is the imaging study most commonly used to determine the presence of an EDH, as it is both widely available and time-efficient. Epidural blood usually resembles a biconvex lens due to the firm dural attachments present at the cranial sutures (See Figure 1 and Figure 2.). Occasionally, heterogeneous foci of lower intensity may appear within an EDH and may indicate active extravasation of blood and require immediate surgical evaluation.
Up to 8% of EDHs are undetectable on a head CT, possibly due to severe anemia, severe hypotension, early scanning after trauma or venous bleeding. A head CT may not be sufficiently sensitive to detect a reduced blood volume. The laboratory studies previously mentioned, such as a complete blood count, can help determine if any of these scenarios apply. Furthermore, an EDH undetectable by head CT may be detectable with a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (See
Figure 3 and Figure 4.). The majority of EDHs are evident within 8-24 hours; therefore, they are usually detectable upon repeat imaging in the first day.
The volume of an EDH is correlated with clinical outcome and considered in the treatment planning. This measurement can be obtained from a head CT using the formula ABC/2, which estimates the volume of an ellipsoid lesion. A is the largest diameter of the hematoma on the CT slice with the greatest area of hemorrhage. B is the largest diameter 90 degrees to A on the same CT slice. C is the number of CT slices containing the hematoma multiplied by the slice thickness in centimeters. A single CT slice is included in C if the hemorrhage area is greater than 75% of the hematoma in the CT slice used in A; whereas, it is excluded if the area is less than 25% of the greatest area of hemorrhage.
Brain MRI may be supplementary or substitutive. MRI is most useful for detecting EDH at the vertex. The appearance of an EDH may evolve over time similar to a parenchymal hematoma. An acutely formed blood clot is hypo-intense on a T2-weighted MRI due to the presence of deoxyhemoglobin. During subsequent weeks, deoxyhemoglobin degrades to methemoglobin, which appears bright on both T1 and T2-weighted MRI. After several, with only hemosiderin deposits remaining, the blood clot becomes hypo-intense on the T1-weighted MRI.
Cerebral angiography may also be helpful to assess for any abnormal vascular lesions.
Confirming the diagnosis
As with any other medical condition, a thorough history and physical exam are pivotal steps in making an accurate diagnosis.
Important features of history include head trauma, loss of consciousness, altered mental status (i.e. a change in behavior of the child as noted by the parents), headache, vomiting, irritability, and pallor. A symptom-free interval followed by rapid clinical deterioration is typical of a temporal EDH. With an EDH involving the posterior fossa, the abrupt deterioration may be preceded by dizziness and decreased coordination.
While examining infants aged 12 months and younger, a cephalohematoma may be palpable. The examiner must also look for any lateralizing signs such as hemiparesis, hemiplegia, and anisocoria (unequal pupils). The Cushing response is a sign of increased ICP and possible brain herniation.
If you are able to confirm that the patient has epidural hematoma, what treatment should be initiated?
Immediate Care
Children who present with EDH are treated like trauma patients, and the initial assessment follows the "ABC rule" of advanced trauma life support: airway maintenance with cervical spine protection, breathing and ventilation, as well as circulation with hemorrhage control. Furthermore, children with GCS of 8 or less and with rapidly worsening mental status are intubated and ventilated to maintain pCO2 between 35 and 40 mmHg. Fluid resuscitation may be required to prevent hypotension.
In addition, the cervical spine must be immobilized while providing supplemental oxygen to keep saturation over 95 percent. If there are signs of herniation and increased ICP, hyperosmolar therapy is initiated with mannitol while elevating the head of the bed at an angle of 30 degrees. Mild hyperventilation, with PaCO2 at 30-35 mmHg, is recommended for children whose signs of herniation do not respond to mannitol.
Signs of increased ICP include altered mental status, seizures, pupillary changes, and vomiting. Headache and altered level of consciousness followed by pupillary changes and bradycardia are suggestive of an impending transtentorial herniation in children. Herniation through the foramen magnum is associated with downbeat nystagmus, bradycardia, bradypnea, and hypertension.
Coagulopathies should be managed with vitamin K, protamine sulfate, fresh frozen plasma, platelet transfusions, or clotting factor concentrates.
Indications for surgical evacuation include any symptomatic EDH, rapid decline in level of consciousness, increased ICP, acute asymptomatic EDH radiographically greater than 1 cm at its deepest point, pupillary abnormalities, cerebellar signs, hemiparesis, and comatose state.
Long-term care
A follow-up head CT 4 to 6 weeks after surgical evacuation is strongly recommended to assess for any residual or recurrent hemorrhage. Children without subsequent neurological deficits may return to school within this time period. Depending on the child's age and extent of bone damage, contact sports are allowed when the bone has sufficiently healed.
Occupational and physical therapies are indicated for children with residual neurological deficits. For children with iron deficiency anemia due to blood loss, iron supplementation is recommended.
What are the possible outcomes of epidural hematoma?
Prognostic factors associated with good neurologic recovery after surgical evacuation of EDH include short time interval between onset of neurological symptoms and surgical evacuation, high GCS at presentation, and lack of associated lesions such as pupillary changes or subdural hematoma.
Children under the age of 5 years experience lower morbidity and mortality from EDH than older children or adults because their skull sutures are more flexible and able to accommodate an expanding EDH. The mortality rate associated with EDH in the pediatric population is 2 to 6% but is higher in children who present with a "lucid interval" because this apparent improvement can delay an accurate diagnosis and definitive treatment.
What causes this disease and how frequent is it?
EDH occurs in approximately 1-3% of closed head injuries in the pediatric population. Males are at least twice as likely to be affected. Etiologies vary according to age. EDH is rare in new-borns but may be associated with delivery by forceps or vacuum extraction. In infants and young children, a low velocity impact (i.e. a fall) is the most common mechanism of injury. Child abuse accounts for 6 to 18% of cases. In older children, motor vehicle collisions are the primary cause of EDH.
As described in the Monroe-Kellie doctrine, the overall volume of the intracranial compartment cannot change within the rigid skull with closed sutures. The pressure within the cranial vault directly depends on the volume and compliance of the brain parenchyma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and blood. With an expanding EDH, the brain parenchyma, CSF, and venous blood are all displaced. Eventually this mass effect may result in brain herniation through the foramen magnum, which is fatal.
This pathophysiology may not apply to young children whose skull sutures remain open until 18 months of age and whose subarachnoid as well as extracellular spaces are relatively large; therefore, they can tolerate an expanding EDH better than older children and adults. Due to this capacity for large-volume intracranial bleeding, young children may become anemic before presenting with signs of increased intracranial pressure (ICP).
Spontaneously formed EDH is rare. In the pediatric population, potential etiologies include middle ear or sinus infection, complication of neurosurgical procedures (i.e. ventricular shunt placement), minor head trauma in children with coagulopathies such as hemophilia or thrombocytopenia, invasive skull tumor such as Langerhans cell histiocytosis or solid tumor metastasis to the skull, and sickle cell anemia with skull infarction.
Other clinical manifestationsthat might help with diagnosis and management.
Children with an EDH in an acute setting, with a GCS of 12 or lower, need to be seen by a neurosurgeon to evaluate the child for surgical intervention.
How can epidural hematoma be prevented?
Protective measures to prevent head trauma include helmets used in athletics and cycling, use of car seats, and public health measures that highlight responsibilites of parents and other child care providers to prevent non-accidental abusive head injuries.

I love how this turned out. Ya'll did a great job for sure.ReplyDelete
However I have to be honest. I was offered this backsplash and it was delayed due to waiting on the trim. So I delcined the offer eventually. The folks at 1005 design are very nice. You did a fabulous job and it looks great. Everything happens for a reason, and in the end I'm glad I didn't use the faux stainless. I thought I wanted the stainless look, but I went with something much more casual.
I'm not sure I could have made this project look as wonderful as you did! bravo!
What a fantastic upgrade for this backsplash area! It made it all look so much more contemporary and finished. Great idea to cover the light valences, too. :-)ReplyDelete
