Relationships: Not all guys like tall girls of model appearance. Model criteria have long been a thing of the past. Today, many are sympathetic to the miniature female person. But before deciding on a relationship with such an "inch" it is worth knowing all the features of such a union. And they, as it turns out, a lot.
Respect her as a person
Girls often complex about their small stature, so try not to focus on this particular of them. As a rule, low people compensate for the lack of a few centimeters in growth by the rich inner world. Showcase how you value her talents, character, and mind in every way.
If it works, then instill in her that low growth is more of dignity than a disadvantage. Never emphasize in everyday situations that she cannot reach for something, or merges with a crowd of teenagers without heels. It may seem to you cute and funny, but for her, it will be an extra reason for the complexes.
Do not give her offensive nicknames
If your girlfriend is sensitive to the theme of her height, then be especially careful in expressions. Avoid gentle nicknames, which she may regard as a hint of insufficient physical development. Do not call it tiny, petty, decently, and other offensive words.
Be her protection and support
Little girls subconsciously choose high guys as partners. On the one hand, they want their children to be tall and strong. On the other hand, they are seeking compensation for what they are deprived of because of their height. Try to help her in the household trifles that cause her difficulties: hang the curtains, take out objects from the upper shelves, sit her down on the steps in the transport or carry through puddles that she cannot jump over. Remember that you are for her – the support and the wall, the main assistant and protector.
Let her be with you sometimes as equals
Imagine what a short girl to communicate with you, constantly looking from the bottom up. Be prepared for the fact that you will often bend over to kiss her or whisper something in your ear. And in moments of quarrels, let her feel on a par with you, sit down on a chair or vice versa – put her on a stool so that she can express her complaints to you in the eyes. As practice shows, in such cases, both partners cannot hold back smiles and quickly come to a reconciliation.
Find the pros
Short stature does not make your girlfriend inferior or worse than others. You know, as they say – small spool yes roads. So in this case. Miniature ladies are not inferior to tall women. And in some situations, they can even give them a head start! For example, they can penetrate into hard-to-reach places, or easily put your hand into the bottle, taking out a pickle or tomato for you. Notice such advantages and do not stop talking about this to your darling. Let him know that you appreciate her and be proud of how special she is.
Avoid long walks
It is no secret that small girls often wear heels to visually appear higher. When offering your favorite another walk in the park, do not forget that for her legs this will be a real challenge, even if she does not give a look. Remember this always and try to take breaks, sitting on the benches or in the cafe. Do not let a girl in heels stand for a long time – take care of her legs.
Carry it on hand
What woman does not love when her beloved is in her arms? Everyone thinks this gesture is incredibly romantic. If the girl is miniature, it will not be difficult to do it more often. Delight your baby with similar signs of attention. Take her in your hands more often, turn around, call her a fluff – such compliments will be very pleasant to her.
They say that in a perfect union opposites attract, therefore, if your chosen one is short and you are above average, then you have great chances for happy and harmonious relations. Less pay attention to the disadvantages, and more concentrate on the beneficial aspects of communicating with a miniature girl.

Secret Santa at the Dollar Store

How about doing Secret Santa each day in this last week before the break with a few fun station employees?

Buy things you know will make that person laugh or have an emotional reaction as they unwrap it on the air. The listeners will get the best gift of all, laughter.

On Wednesday, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) will be hosting one of the most far-left activists in America at their biennial conference, for the purpose of promoting Critical Race Theory, Breitbart reports.
Ibram Kendi, the author of numerous books that fuel racial division such as "How to be an Antiracist" and "Antiracist Baby," will be a featured speaker at AFT's Together Educating America's Children (TEACH) conference. Other speakers who will appear during the five-day conference include Jill Biden, failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, and the Deputy Secretary of the Education Department Cindy Marten.
The speaking slot marks only the latest indication that Kendi and his writings have become firmly ingrained in the nation's public education system. As one of the leading proponents of Critical Race Theory – the far-left and debunked notion that all White people are automatically racist and that America is an inherently racist and evil nation – Kendi's works have become recommended reading in several branches of the United States military, as well as by the Department of Education.
One of the earliest speeches of the conference was given by AFT's president Randi Weingarten, who claimed that teachers will face an even more difficult year in 2021 than in 2020.
"It won't be easy, and some people will try to make it harder," Weingarten said in her remarks. "Like those who have disparaged educators, scapegoated our unions, and blamed us for things outside our control, like school closures caused by a pandemic." The latter assertion is false, as it has been well-documented that teachers' unions were, in fact, widely responsible for prolonged closures due to frequent strikes and lists of impossible demands of school districts before they would return to work. Such tactics, seen in cities and states across the country, significantly prolonged the return to in-person learning and continued students' reliance on the ineffective method of virtual learning.
Weingarten then went on to defend Critical Race Theory, declaring that "our union will defend any member who gets in trouble for teaching honest history…Teaching the truth is not radical or wrong. Distorting history and threatening educators for teaching the truth is what is truly radical and wrong." However, she then falsely claimed that "Critical Race Theory is not taught in elementary schools or high schools," but is instead, allegedly, "a method of examination taught in law school and college that helps analyze whether systemic racism exists."

FabFilter releases FabFilter Volcano filter plug-in
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, May 25, 2005. FabFilter announces the upcoming release of FabFilter Volcano, a versatile filter effect plug-in for Windows and Mac OS X. FabFilter Volcano stands out with many modulation options and above all FabFilter?s unique digital filter technology that results in extremely smooth and analog-sounding filters.

The panning setting creates cool stereo effects without phase problems by changing the filter frequency for the left and right audio channels independently. FabFilter Volcano?s interactive filter display shows the curves for both filters and lets you drag them around, separately or both at the same time.
Frequency, peak, and panning settings can be modulated in any way imaginable with the two LFOs and the triggered envelope generator. The LFOs have adjustable triangle and square wave forms and can be synchronized to the host tempo.
The new MIDI learn feature lets you control FabFilter Volcano with any MIDI keyboard or controller within minutes, simply by turning knobs in FabFilter Volcano?s user interface and on the controller.
FabFilter Volcano is available on May 25, 2005 for $139 (US) as an Audio Units plug-in and a VST plug-in for Mac OS X and as a VST plug-in for Windows on www.fabfilter.com. FabFilter One owners can purchase FabFilter Volcano for just $99 (US).

The resurgence of COVID-19 cases due to the rapid spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant is forcing many companies to prolong remote working arrangements. Consequently, the demand for advanced and efficient networking products and solutions is on the rise. In addition, the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), the need for networking security, the use of AR/VR devices with the availability of 5G technology, and the approval of a bipartisan infrastructure bill in Congress (which promises improved internet access) should drive the networking industry's growth.
Furthermore, the continued digital transformation should keep networking solutions in demand. The global Virtual Networking market size is projected to grow at a 19.4 % CAGR between 2021 - 2026.
We believe that the growing demand for networking solutions should drive the performance of fundamentally sound networking stocks Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO), Nokia Corporation (NOK), and Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAV). Therefore, it could be wise to bet on these stocks now.
Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO)
CSCO in San Jose, Calif., designs, manufactures, and sells Internet Protocol (IP) based networking products and services related to communications and information technology worldwide. The company sells its products and services directly and through systems integrators, service providers, resellers, and distributors.

Many users are experiencing overloaded schedules and challenges when trying to connect with teams or customers during their virtual meetings. Vidcast's offering of recorded, instantly shareable videos should help users reduce distractions and eliminate the need to align schedules across time zones, making space for uninterrupted workflow and more thoughtful communication.
On July 15, 2021, Bharti Airtel, India's premier communications solutions provider, launched advanced connectivity solutions for enterprises based on CSCO's Cisco Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) technology to accelerate its digital transformation and allow it to deliver applications to users with greater visibility, security, and performance.
During its fiscal fourth quarter, ended July 31, 2021, CSCO's total revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $13.13 billion.

May is a particularly intense month for the Communications Department.
First of all, the meeting of Salesian Publishers in Europe met in the Bavarian city of Munich from the 2nd to the 5th. The Rector Major sent them a message saying: "Aware of the world crisis in the print publishing scene I am inviting you to reflect with hope, creativity and professionalism. In particular, look for opportunities to surmount the financial and economic challenges (self-sustainability), technological (the digital world), and cultural ones (new digital readers), and to constantly update your personnel in a vision of strict collaboration among yourselves and between Salesians and lay people. The publishing sector helped Don Bosco to not remain locked within the walls of his works; publishing became a way of going out to accompany the young and sow the good message in society through his books, encyclopedias, magazines. It is all about doing good to young people, families, protecting and motivating their faith."
Then, from the 9th to the 12, again in Munich there was a meeting of Communications Delegates from Provinces in Europe. GC28 was the central theme, seen from a communications perspective: What kind of Salesian communicators for the youth of the digital world? The results were good and will be added to proposals from Delegates from other Regions. The sharing of best practice on the part of the Delegates and the theme developed by theologian Sonja Pohl: "Young people and the Church in the digital world", left us with good ideas and challenges for our mission to the young in the digital world. My thanks go to the German Province and the Salesianum in Munich who so kindly hosted us on both occasions.
Last year ANS, IME Communications and a team of collaborators began the experience of a video for the novena for the feats of Mary Help of Christians. Convinced that Mary Help of Christians in our vocation and mission is a charismatic dimension rather than a personal devotion, the team has committed itself to presenting the novena with comments by the Rector Major and sharing so many testimonies from the Salesian Family, focused on the charity that changes the world. It is up to us Delegates to promote it both within and beyond the Salesian Family to motivate and protect the faith of the people of God with the same apostolic passion that Don Bosco had. I know that so many communities, families, oratories and works look at it and comment on it and promote it enthusiastically. This too helps us to grow in faith and our sense of belonging to the Congregation.
I will finish by informing you that from 25-29 May in Rome there will be the international meeting of Salesian Bulletin editors, developing a central theme: "The Salesian Bulletin: communicating for involvement in the mission, amid press and digital culture". The SB is the institutional magazine of the Congregation: that is how it was conceived of and became in Don Bosco's mind. Aware as we are today that we live in a very different context to the origins, we would like to relaunch the SB, always maintaining its identity but without losing its relevance for our interconnected, hyper-informed society dominated by the digital environment. Experts in the field of history, journalism, social media, international magazines and digital communication will help us to continue the process of updating Don Bosco's magazine.
Together with the Department's team I wish you all a happy Feast of Mary Help of Christians:
Fr Filiberto González Plasencia

Committee Chair Leaving
Scoutmom707 posted a topic in Cub ScoutsHi, I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can find in writing who is supposed to step up if there is no one to replace a committee chair who is leaving after 6 years? Thanks in advance
New Volunteers vs the Old Guard
WisconsinMomma posted a topic in Issues & PoliticsHere's what I have observed in some committee meetings where I am. A few of the parents of Scouts who are no longer in the troop complain that current parents are not volunteering and honestly, they start to come across like the only ones capable of getting anything done. Do they go out and ask the current parents to volunteer? No. They put a note in the minutes saying they need someone to volunteer and then complain that no one shows up. I asked a mom from my former den if she would take over the wreath sale. She said yes as long as she doesn't have to attend committee meetings. Voi

But we have all been gifted with 70 or 80 years of life free. So why do we put a price on it! Why do we skimp our labour? Why do we treat the creative, careful loving of the work before us as something to avoid? We buy our furniture and clothes rather than make them. We seldom grow our own food, except as a pastime. We are defiling this free gift of life.
And even the creative effort of designers is squandered. How many millions of person-years of work is wasted as we go through consecutive versions of Microsoft Windows and its attendant software, created only to be thrown away when the next version appears? What a waste of human creativeness!
That is not how God intended.

Offshore Health and Safety
The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPB) is responsible for assuring that offshore oil and gas exploration and exploitation activities are conducted with due regard to safety. In this role, the CNSOPB ensures that all such activities are conducted in a manner in which identified risks are assessed and controlled to acceptable levels according to legal requirements and stakeholders concern.
Safety Plan Requirements
All operators must receive authorization from the CNSOPB prior to conducting any petroleum-related activity in the Nova Scotia offshore area. In support of an application for authorization, the operator is required to submit a description of its safety-related policies and procedures for Board review. An integral component of this submission is the Operator Safety Plan that meets the requirements of the Safety Plan Guidelines. The Safety Plan highlights critical requirements for safe operations in the offshore area. In most cases, the Safety Plan typically evolves as an integral component of a continuously improving Management System framework.
Particular attention is dedicated to reviewing submissions to ensure that the written policies, programs, and procedures address the following items:
- Authorities/command structure
- Risk assessment
- Facilities & equipment
- Operation & maintenance
- Training & qualifications
- Contingency planning
- Physical environmental monitoring
Authorization is only granted to an Operator if the Safety Plan is deemed acceptable by the Board.
Monitoring of Authorized Work and Activities
The CNSOPB monitors Operator compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements along with any conditions affixed to an authorization, including reviews of daily operational reports, site inspections and audits, documentation/record reviews, and personnel interviews. The Board also investigates worker complaints, work refusals, accidents, spills and other significant incidents. Part III of the Accord Act gives authority to the Chief Safety Officer (CSO), the Chief Conservation Officer (CCO), and safety and conservation officers, to conduct these types of activities.
Officers also have the ability to issue orders, including those to cease or limit activities in the event that an unacceptable risk is posed to worker health or safety. Non-compliance is generally addressed through a tiered process that motivates appropriate action from the operator; notwithstanding this, penalties for non-compliance can range up to $1-million per day plus time in jail.

Ready to learn Minecraft coding? Today we're going to guide you through everything you need to know about Minecraft coding for kids, and the ways it will benefit your child.
Kids love playing games, especially Minecraft. If you've ever watched kids as they play games together in person, you've noticed they create their own rules and modify the game as they go. Perhaps you've heard your child lament that they wish they could add or change something in their electronics games.
What if there was a way for kids to learn critical thinking skills, important computer science concepts and modify a popular electronic game, like Minecraft all at the same time? Lucky for you, there is!
By the way do you know how different power sources such as Redstone blocks, torches, and switches can be used to power blocks around them in different ways in Minecraft? Join an award-winning virtual Minecraft engineering class for kids and find out how to customize your Minecraft worlds all sorts of cool ways, led live by an expert:
And learn how to code your own games when you join an award-winning virtual Minecraft coding class for kids, led live by an expert and designed by professionals from Google, Stanford, and MIT.
Getting started: Learn Minecraft coding
So today, we are going to discuss what Minecraft is, how educators are using Minecraft in schools, how you can get your child started coding in Minecraft (also referred to as modding because they are modifying the game), and so much more.
What is Minecraft?
Minecraft is a video game where players create and break apart various kinds of blocks in three-dimensional worlds. The game has two different modes: Creative Mode and Survival Mode.
While in Creative Mode, if you can dream it, you can build it. Kids have access to all the Minecraft blocks, potions, weapons, and more. This is where kids can construct anything they desire with an infinite amount of resources. Creative Mode is perfect for your budding architect or interior designer, as well as a child who wants to create an entire world as an escape!
You can also play to survive, in Survival Mode. Battle mobs, construct shelter, and explore the landscape—it's all in a day's work when you try to survive and thrive in Survival Mode. This is the most common way kids play Minecraft. They enjoy playing with limited resources. Kids have to find the resources they need to survive and craft weapons to destroy the mobs before the mobs destroy them. This mode of the game teaches kids to problem solve and make choices about how to most effectively use their resources!
Minecraft is a game that you can play with friends. Build together, search together, have fun together. The world of Minecraft is even better when explored with your best buds. Playing with friends helps kids develop communications skills because they have to decide how they want to play; on teams cooperating or on teams against each other. It also teaches them how to strategize!
What is Minecraft Education Edition?
Minecraft Education Edition is a version of Minecraft that can be used in schools featuring tutorials and other game features that bring subjects to life. It is a game-based learning platform that promotes creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving in an immersive digital environment. Minecraft Education Edition has classroom-friendly features for educators, supporting educators in classroom management and formative assessment.
Is Minecraft safe for kids?
Minecraft is safe for kids when good digital citizenship is followed. Make sure you and your child only play on a server they own or trust. Monitor who is joining the server or game, and ensure you actually know all participants. Remind your child not to give out any personal information and not to converse with someone they don't know. Obtain your own account and join them in Minecraft to understand the game and spend time with your child.
What coding language does Minecraft use?
The coding language that Minecraft uses is Java. The Java™ Programming Language is a general-purpose, concurrent, strongly typed, class-based object-oriented language. Minecraft Education Edition's Hour of Code 2020 edition uses block-based or Python code to bring two villages together. Learn to Mod's website uses block-based or Javascript code. Microsoft's Makecode website also uses block based, Python, or Javascript Coding.
Learn Minecraft coding using these resources
Kids who are interested in coding and Minecraft have the opportunity to combine both of their interests through Minecraft modding.
A great free website is Microsoft's Makecode. There is a place for your child to watch tutorials about how to use the interface and how to get started creating projects. It allows your child to program three different ways depending on their comfort level. Lava tower is a really cool option to start as well as flower trail. The tutorials are engaging and offer flexibility for your child to try out different programming languages.
Another great website to use is Learn to Mod. This is a paid site, unless provided to your child through their school or a class that gives them a class code. This is the platform Create & Learn uses to teach Minecraft modding.
Your child can program using blocks or Javascript. Learn to Mod also provides tutorials, where kids earn badges, and has its own simulator to run the tutorials. It also motivates kids to keep learning through a diamond economy that they can use to purchase more features.
Coding Minecraft Mods: Here's how to start a farm in 10 steps using Learn to Mod
Let's jump in!
1. Login to your Learn to Mod Account.
2. Select Play and Mods.
3. Name your mod Farm and select Blocky Multiplayer.
4. Create a main, an animal, and a fence function.
5. Create new Variable called d, set to new drone, and place it in the main function.
6. Code d to spawn mob types of whatever animals you want on your farm inside your animal function.
7. Code d to create a 20 x 20 fence.
8. Callback animal and fence function in your main function.
9. Click green Mod button and run in Minecraft.
10. Go back and modify as needed.
Minecraft coding lessons
When deciding which Minecraft coding lessons are best for your child, remember your child's learning style. If your child likes to learn new concepts on his/her own and can follow directions independently, try out some of the tutorials recommended above. Remember to pick lessons that interest your child and have step-by-step instructions and/or videos to demonstrate the skills your child will be learning.
If your child prefers learning with a teacher, check out Create & Learn's Minecraft courses. In our live online classes, your child can expect personalized learning and support as they continue to build their confidence and skills. We help students set up their own Minecraft server and Learn to Mod account, and embark on engaging projects: coding a farm, creating a game, and more.
Now you're ready to learn Minecraft coding!
Now that you've learned about Minecraft, the different way kids play it, how schools use it, and how it will transform the way your child thinks about coding, get started coding Minecraft! Whether you and your child decide to start coding on your own or through our classes, we believe your child will develop an interest in coding and game design while fostering his/her problem solving and critical thinking skills for life. Begin with our Minecraft modding quest class (grades 2-5) and this one for grades 5-7 - or learn engineering concepts with Minecraft Redstone.
Up next, read how to code Minecraft mods, how to make cute Minecraft castles, or explore the best Minecraft skin editors.
Written by Adrienne Unertl, instructor at Create & Learn. In 2017, Adrienne was awarded Wyoming's Elementary STEM Educator of the Year. She brings over over 15 years of experience teaching. And currently teaches coding through Scratch, robotics, 3D printing, micro:bits, makey-makeys, and Arduinos.

Yesterday as I was parking at the park, getting ready to walk to school, I was thinking. I heard myself talking to myself 🙂 I noticed some of the usual homeless folks not too far away, and thought maybe it's not so weird when they do it.
the term mental rehearsal crossed my mind, and I thought about the mental rehearsal that I was doing. I was talking to a room full of people about time and consciousness.
I realized that on the outside I probably sounded quite crazy.
then, when I got to the art room, next door to my music room, I saw the vocabulary words on the whiteboard, and what do you think 1 of the vocabulary words was? Mental Rehearsal.

Correspondence about the original study: Stephen B. Thacker, MD, MSc, Director Epidemiology Program Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, MS CO8, Atlanta, GA 30333. E-mail: [email protected] Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine 15(2):p 113, March 2005. | DOI: 10.1097/01.jsm.0000151869.98555.67 Buy Metrics Abstract Objective: Effect of Stretching on Sport Injury Risk: a Review To assess the evidence for the effectiveness of stretching for the prevention of injuries in sports. Data sources: MEDLINE (1966 to September, 2002), Current Contents, Biomedical Collection, Dissertation Abstracts, the Cochrane Library, and SPORTDiscus were searched for articles in all languages using terms including stretching, flexibility, injury, epidemiology, and injury prevention. Reference lists were searched and experts contacted for further relevant studies. Study selection: Criteria for inclusion were randomized trials or cohort studies of interventions that included stretching compared with other interventions, with participants who were engaged in sporting or fitness activities. One author identified 361 articles reporting on flexibility, methods and effects of stretching, risk factors for injury, and injury prevention, of which 6 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. Data extraction: Three independent reviewers blinded to the authors and institutions of the investigations assessed the methodologic quality of the studies (100-point scale) and reached consensus on disagreements. Details of study participants, interventions, and outcomes were extracted. Weighted pooled odds ratios were calculated for effects of interventions on an intention-to-treat basis. Main results: Reduction in total injuries (shin splints, tibial stress reaction, sprains/strains, and lower-extremity and -limb injuries) with either stretching of specific leg-muscle groups or multiple muscle groups was not found in 5 controlled studies (odds ratio [OR] 0.93; 95% CI, 0.78 to 1.11). Reduction in injuries was not significantly greater for stretching of specific muscles (OR, 0.80; CI, 0.54-1.14) or multiple muscle groups (OR, 0.96; CI, 0.71-1.28). Combining the 3 ratings of methodologic quality, median scores were 29 to 60/100. After adjustment for confounders, low quality studies did not show a greater reduction in injuries with stretching (OR, 0.88; CI, 0.67-1.15) compared with high quality studies (OR, 0.97; CI, 0.77-1.22). Stretching to improve flexibility, adverse effects of stretching, and effects of warm up were not assessed by appropriate intervention studies. Conclusion: Limited evidence showed stretching had no effect in reducing injuries. © 2005 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Although the growing trend of automation may seem alarming to those looking for pharmacy jobs, the resulting expansion of the pharmacist's role as a member of the healthcare team is cause for excitement. Here's a look at how the pharmacist's job description is changing and how technology can help.
Visit Club Staffing to find a travel pharmacy job that challenges you and lets you experience flexible employment in interesting locations.
Gallup polls consistently rank pharmacists high in ethical standards and honesty. Three of the top-rated occupations are in the healthcare industry — nurses, doctors, and pharmacists. Of these three, the retail pharmacist is the most easily accessed health professional. Without an appointment, you can visit your local pharmacy and receive answers to a variety of questions concerning health and medications.
Unfortunately, this access comes at a cost. Most store pharmacy jobs include no designated lunch period, long work hours and an obligation to be continuously available to your demanding public. It's no wonder that pharmacists are increasingly at risk for burnout.
New advances in automation are able to lessen the stress in pharmacy and pharmacy tech jobs by removing monotonous and repetitive tasks and replacing them with rewarding patient-centered duties. \
Automation Tools That Help Take The Burden Off
- Pill counters
What used to take an enormous amount of time during a pharmacist's day can be accomplished in minutes thanks to the various pill counters on the market today. Simple models just count pills; more advanced designs take photo images to supply documentation of the drug and quantity dispensed.
- Automated dispensing machines
These devices go beyond pill counting by bottling, capping and labeling prescription vials. Locking containers heighten medication security and specialized controlled substance dispensers keep a running inventory count of narcotics. Hospital dispensing machines give pharmacists a chance to get back to patient-focused care.
- Adherence packaging systems
These machines create strip packaging to be used in medication management. Each day's regimen is sealed into plastic strips that are designated for morning, noon, evening and bedtime dosing. Medication management systems are ideal for group homes, assisted living facilities or elderly patients living on their own. Supplying all the medication in one batch saves the patient time and reduces the repetition in pharmacy jobs.
- Unit dose packaging equipment
These specialized machines seal individual tablets and capsules into cellophane or plastic squares. The individually labeled pills are used in hospital and nursing home carts for nurse-performed med passes.
- Inventory management systems
Pharmacy jobs require a significant amount of inventory management skills. Systems designed to reduce on-hand inventory and increase turns save time and money. They also increase patient safety with barcode and image recognition software. Space that was formerly used for storage can be devoted to other pharmacy activities.
All these new technologies let pharmacists step out from behind the counter and interact as the health advisor they were trained to be. Artificial Intelligence is becoming a reality in health care occupations as well, and the new positions it creates will be just around the corner. Farsighted university programs and supportive associations are making sure that pharmacists are ready to embrace their expanded role in health care.
- Medication Management Therapy (MTM)
During an MTM consult, a pharmacist meets with a patient and discusses their medical history and current Rx usage. The pharmacist is looking for adherence problems, drug interactions, high-risk medications and recommended treatments for certain chronic conditions. The pharmacist will assist the patient and their doctors in creating a workable treatment plan.
Steve Anderson, an independent pharmacist in Canton, Ohio, enjoys his time spent in MTM work. "It is an unfortunate fact that many people do not take their medications as prescribed," he says. "If their adherence problem is medication cost or side effects, I can work with them and their doctors to find alternative therapies. I always follow up with my patients in a month or two to see if they've been able to increase their compliance."
Insurance companies now realize that money spent on MTM pharmacy jobs is gained through reduced inpatient hospitalization and emergency room visits. The American Pharmacist Association has documented how one such program in Ohio proved beneficial to a Medicaid provider.
- Immunizations
Americans have come to understand the importance of the yearly flu vaccine, and new vaccines are developed each day. Doctor's offices often experience difficulty ordering and storing the required serums. Pharmacists are the logical choice to offer immunizations as they have immediate access to wholesale drug vendors and are readily accessible to high-risk populations.
- Clinical patient consults
Clinical pharmacy jobs engage in patient-focused care in hospitals and group practices. Pharmacists make hospital rounds with the doctors to advise on medication therapies and spend time visiting hospital care divisions. Some medical group practices have their patients meet with the staff clinical pharmacist to discuss newly ordered medications and address any concerns with current treatments.
- Management of specific disease states
Since retail pharmacies are located in the same geographical area as their patients, they have the advantage in trying to manage chronic disease states. Diabetes, high cholesterol, COPD and asthma are all conditions that may be addressed through local pharmacy management programs. These initiatives provide a variety of services including record keeping, group counseling, coordination of care and individualized instruction on medical devices and medication administration.
Pharmacists Continue To Provide Quality Care
The willingness to assume new roles and master technology is characteristic of those employed in pharmacy jobs. And technology that takes the tedium out of daily pharmacy work is now allowing pharmacists to step into roles that can provide for better patient outcomes.

Just 7 months after the split from her relationship with the 'Property Brothers' star, Jonathan Scott, Jacinta Kuznetsov said yes to photographer, filmmaker and conservationist Will Allen. Kuznetsov, 30, recently shared on Instagram that she's found love again and officially announced that she is off the market.
View this post on Instagram
"First — if you are in love — that's a good thing — that's about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don't let anyone make it small or light to you. Second — There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you — of kindness and consideration and respect — not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn't know you had." Thank you for your friendship for six years, my love. I am grateful we figured it all out. And thank you for asking me to be your bff forever 💍 #yesyesyes To read the full Steinbeck quote and instantly feel inspired, click the link in bio 🔝
She wrote: "Thank you for your friendship for six years, my love. I am grateful we figured it all out. And thank you for asking me to be your bff forever #yesyesyes." Prior to this development, Jacinta had parted ways with Jonathan Scott back in April after dating for nearly three years. 'Sometimes life takes you on unexpected paths and those paths aren't always in the same direction,' Jonathan wrote at the time of the breakup. There's no drama or negativity; no jealousy or hate. Not even sadness or sorrow. Our memories are filled with joy and we will continue to advocate for each other as friends wherever we go.' In reaction to Jacinta's engagement news, the Property Brothers star simply said 'I wish Jacinta the very best, as always.'Photo Credit: Getty

So I'm extremely excited (read = excited, wary, broke, excited) about the arrival of my new elliptical machine during my lunch hour today. I anticipate drinking a few beers with Hubby tonight while we sit on the floor of our dining room to assemble it…that's right, the dining room – we don't use the damn table anyway. Good riddance! I definitely need to get the thing in working order before the morning so I can do a killer workout on it because the biggest get bloated fat and feel awful from eating holiday of the year is here tomorrow. Yep, Thanksgiving! My fav holiday of the year because there is none of the stress of gift giving (totally not a fan of obligatory gift giving, yep, I'm weird) and you simply sit around with family and close friends while eating your fav comfort food from childhood and drinking beer while watching TV with the aforementioned people. Nothing wrong with that picture, that is, unless you're on a CALORIE COUNTING bender where you therefore spend the entire day feeling like you're betraying your calorie counter and teetering on the edge of disaster.
On the up side, we just spent five days in St. Louis with my extended family, and I managed to only gain 0.6# on the trip after losing 2# the week and a half preceding that. Not bad for vacation! Even got my butt out of bed and ran two of the mornings. UGH, I hate running, but it made me feel better about the beer I drank the rest of the day. Gotta love vacation.


text: My generator is a Honda EM5000S it cost about $2500 new I will sell it for $800. Im not going to put any gas in it, the the person who buys it can do that. If it will not run I will refund the money. It is a very good generator we used it about 2yrs ago to run an air compressor for a nail gun. It has not been ran since.

Save Hidden Hills
Please sign this petition to keep Hidden Hills open to serve our community!
Hidden Hills Elementary is a unique school serving a diverse student population. A true neighborhood school, most families walk to our school to attend back to school night, parent teacher conferences and PTA events. The proposal to close Hidden Hills would leave many families no longer supported or engaged in our community and unable to attend events at their new school location.
Hidden Hills hosts several state funded preschools, 2 autistic preschool programs and K - 5 education for our student population. Hidden Hills offers many services from after school computer lab access, homework club, robotics club, breakfast bunch and reading interventions.
Hidden Hills is facing closure to house Community Roots Academy, a charter school currently sharing the Wood Canyon Elementary campus in Aliso Viejo.
Please stand with our community to save our school!!
