According to a new cost benefit analysis of diagnostic of angiography, angioplasty and stenting, the use of the radial artery in the wrist instead of the femoral artery in the groin for catheter access results in less vascular complication for patients and significant cost-saving for the healthcare system. During angioplasty and stenting procedures patients receive high doses of anti platelet drugs which carry substantial risk of local bleeding and hematoma. In comparison to femoral(groin) approach , the most significant benefit of the radial (wrist) approach are far less vascular complications, less chance of access site bleeding, hematoma and infection.

Common Core Standards: Five Big 'Real Deal' Ideas
by adminadam in articles, education, humor
Based on "From Common Core Standards to Curriculum: Five Big Ideas" by Jay McTighe and Grant Wiggins.
IDEA #1 – Common Core Standards have new emphases and require careful reading.
To fully comprehend the BRAND-SPANKING-NEWNESS of the Common Core Standards you have to read them very carefully, because A) you are biased and think it's just the "Same Old, Same Old", and B) you don't read things carefully. They are actually, really, truly new. Oh, yeah, and the Common Core Standards are Beautiful, Special, and Unique Snowflakes – each and every one of them. Read them daily with your microscope, magnifying glass, or monocle and (re)discover their never-ending novelty.
IDEA #2 – Standards are not curriculum.
Standards are not curriculum; goals are not processes; vision is not logistics; overall philosophy is not a set of specific instructions for instruction. Don't forget it. Oh, and because you weren't aware of any of this it most likely means you have been "(m)arching through a list of topics or skills" and calling it "guaranteed and viable" in your teaching. And this ain't never gonna yield the "Sophisticated Outcomes that the Standards envision". So quit throwin' your meaningless labels on what you're doing and callin' it good, yo! Also, don't you dare forget to capitalize the 'Standards' in 'Common Core Standards'; them dudes is holy, you see?
IDEA #3 – Standards need to be "unpacked".
The Common Core Standards are not one whole, but four, read: Four Cohesive Whole's. And the Whole's gotta be unpacked, ya'll.
- One Whole is Long Term Transfer Goals. Meaning kids apply what they learn from your class to what they're doing in other classes, and possibly even in real life. Transfer that one to your Long-Term Practice – 'cause I bet you never would've!
- Whole Number Dos is Overarching Understandings. Meaning that students will now be able to build an archway over their heads under which they can stand. Comprende, muchacho? In this way they will truly understand what bridge builders go through on a day-to-day basis. Pretty cool, huh?
- Whole Number Three is Overarching Essential Questions, so students can be empowered to ask things like 'What is the quickest, most effective way for me to build this bridge so I can drive over it into the Land of Bridges which is college?'. Or, 'What is the meaning of life if I'm ditched by my homecoming date?'.
- The Last Whole is Cornerstone Tasks. Neither stones nor one-time items on a to-do list, these are life-long performances that students will learn to act out. Things like teamwork, creativity, or pretending to be able to use a computer. This brings us into the 21st century, which, by the way, is the New Century that began 14 years ago. So we're a bit behind, you see? Because that's when computers, the internet, creativity, and the idea of team-work were invented. Let's get these kids ready for the year 2000. You may not know this, but at least two states have already brought their Art Standards up to the Year 2000 Level: Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. They had content experts and experienced teachers (yes, both!) unpack — literally 'take out of their backpacks' — brand new Next Generation Arts Standards. Things you couldn't even imagine before the creation of the internet, like building Mood-based Color-changing Dubstep/Techno Unicorn Mobile Speakers (which now hang from the ceilings in every classroom in their states). Rumor has it students in Massachusetts will be adding RC laser-pointer horns to the unicorns sometime during second semester of this year. And in April, Pennsylvania school districts will begin auditions for endurance violinists who can stand under and accompany the unicorn dupstep mobiles throughout the school day. What's your state doing?
IDEA #4 – A coherent curriculum is mapped backward from desired performances.
Map it backwards. Start from the end-point and walk backwards to the beginning. Students need to see this kind of performance modeled. This is the only way they will know where they're going, and the only way you'll know for sure how to get them there. Do the same with your curriculum; write it backwards. (.noitautcnup ruoy htiw gnitrats yrT)
IDEA #5 – Standards come alive through assessments.
Holy cow! Assessments are what bring the Standards to life. The Standards were already holy, of course; now they will be transubstantiated into Performances, Quizzes, Tests, and Country Reports. It is Apotheosis: Physical. Let there be Cornerstone Tasks!

Naturally detoxify your pineal gland.
The pineal gland acts as the spiritual center of your brain. It produces both melatonin and DMT, otherwise known as the "spirit molecule". It helps you to sleep, dream, and transcend the atomized, materialist world we live in. Unfortunately, through the constant abuse that is our everyday consumption and absorption of contaminated food, water, and air, the pineal gland calcifies, or hardens. This results in a major diminishing of its potential. It produces far less of the wonderful substances and hormones, like melatonin, that it should. Part of the reason that pineal gland calcification is such an issue is due to the fact that the pineal gland is a small (tiny) gland which is, however, exposed to some of the greatest volumes of blood-flow of any gland or organ in the body. Note: It is not behind the blood-brain barrier, although it is still considered part of the brain.
The major culprits in the calcification process are the halides (fluoride, bromide, and chloride). Also harmful are: mercury, pesticides, and excess calcium, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol. With this in mind it is advisable to avoid fluoridated water and toothpaste, high-mercury fish, non-organic food and produce, and similarly it is recommended to eat (and drink) moderately, eat fresh, eat organic, and ingest some of the following very beneficial and decalcifying natural foods and supplements:
Iodine is a proven detoxifying, decalcifying element. It is also something many people are deficient in around the world. In fact Americans used to consume much higher amounts of iodine, in addition to being given supplements like Lugol's Solution for a wide variety of ailments, particularly metabolic ones. Iodine is necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and concomitantly it very efficiently flushes halides like fluoride out of your system — if you have enough of it, that is. If you begin supplementing with iodine, you may in fact notice just how good of a job it's doing: you happen to come down with a variety curious and gruesome symptoms — nausea, acne, and fevers. These are actually the symptoms of fluoridism, bromidism, and chloridism; acute doses of these halides are being released into your system all of a sudden as a result of the detoxification process with iodine. You don't feel such symptoms normally because A) you don't (probably) consume acute doses of these halides, and B) because these toxins have been building up and hiding away in your fatty tissues, in your bones, and in calcium deposits all throughout your body for YEARS! Note that I am talking about detox symptoms that can occur upon starting supplementing iodine a la Iodoral, which is a substantial boost of 12.5mg of iodine per tablet. This amount is actually roughly equivalent to the average daily dose a Japanese person gets from their diet. Interestingly, Japanese people also have significantly lower rates of metabolic syndrome, thyroid issues (hyper-, hypo-, goiters), and also of breast cancer than we Westerners do. They get this bounty of iodine through kelp and seaweeds primarily. Other good food-based sources include cranberries, potatoes (with the skin), and yogurt.
A word to the wise if you are going to pursue supplementation with what we might call 'acute' doses of iodine, it is good to keep some things in mind: 1) the detox symptoms (which may be caused by a Herxheimer reaction due to bromine release) are temporary, 2) they are most likely a sign that you are detoxing from large quantities of halides, 3) the symptoms you feel as this is happening can be attenuated significantly, and 4) the way to do this, to ease your detox process, is to drink lots and lots of fresh, natural water, consume extra Vitamin C and some unrefined salt (good for bromine detox), and also supplement magnesium and calcium to ease the fluoride detox process, one which leeches calcium from your body on its way out, forming calcium-fluoride before being excreted.
Melatonin supplementation may be helpful in the decalcification process. It is also a powerful anti-oxidant which gobbles up damaging free-radicals and is helpful in falling and staying asleep.
Raw Apple Cider Vinegar such as Bragg's contains malic acid, which is a powerful detoxifier. Remember to buy your vinegar raw — and go organic if you can. I put about a half-tablespoon of it into a tall glass of water and imbibe it. (I find this aids my digestion as well.)
Garlic acts as a decalcifier and is also an immune-booster and a natural antibiotic. I eat raw garlic finely chopped up — I actually swallow this with lots of water without chewing any of the pieces. This helps me avoid the burning sensation and intense flavors taking over my mouth. FYI, leaving your garlic to air out for a while after you chop it up allows for more of the essential oils and beneficial compounds in it to activate.
Oregano oil is a natural antibiotic that is apparently able to break through the calcium shells that harmful bacteria build around themselves within the pineal gland. Cool, huh?
Organic beets (and beet powder) contain high levels of naturally occurring boron, which is a powerful detoxifying agent and cleanser for the pineal gland. Eat the beats or mix the powder into a glass of your filtered or distilled (non-fluoridated) drinking water.
Cilantro, raw lemon juice, raw cacao, and chaga mushrooms are all said to be positive contributors in this fight as well, for various reasons. Cilantro as a general detoxifying food, the lemon juice for its citric acid, raw cacao for its high antioxidant content, and the chaga mushroom for its multiple phytonutrients and high melanin content. These are all probably very healthy for you otherwise as well. The superfood Chlorella, a species of single-cell green algae, is also great for detoxing (pulling heavy metals out of the body) and is packed with nutrients.
For cost effectiveness, try the apple cider vinegar, garlic, beets, and iodine-supplement route. From my research these are all superfoods (or supersupplements) that will boost your immune system and metabolism as they help you detoxify your body and decalcify your mind.

The Seven-Lesson Schoolteacher

The Seven-Lesson Schoolteacher
By John Taylor Gatto
New York State Teacher of the Year, 1991
Call me Mr. Gatto, please. Twenty-six years ago, having nothing better to do at the time, I tried my hand at schoolteaching. The license I hold certifies that I am an instructor of English language and English literature, but that isn't what I do at all. I don't teach English, I teach school — and I win awards doing it.
Teaching means different things in different places, but seven lessons are universally taught from Harlem to Hollywood Hills. They constitute a national curriculum you pay for in more ways than you can imagine, so you might as well know what it is. You are at liberty, of course, to regard these lessons any way you like, but believe me when I say I intend no irony in this presentation. These are the things I teach, these are the things you pay me to teach. Make of them what you will.
A lady named Kathy wrote this to me from Dubois, Indiana the other day:
"What big ideas are important to little kids? Well, the biggest idea I think they need is that what they are learning isn't idiosyncratic — that there is some system to it all and it's not just raining down on them as they helplessly absorb. That's the task, to understand, to make coherent."
Kathy has it wrong. The first lesson I teach is confusion. Everything I teach is out of context. I teach the un-relating of everything. I teach disconnections. I teach too much: the orbiting of planets, the law of large numbers, slavery, adjectives, architectural drawing, dance, gymnasium, choral singing, assemblies, surprise guests, fire drills, computer languages, parents' nights, staff-development days, pull-out programs, guidance with strangers my students may never see again, standardized tests, age-segregation unlike anything seen in the outside world….What do any of these things have to do with each other?
Even in the best schools a close examination of curriculum and its sequences turns up a lack of coherence, full of internal contradictions. Fortunately the children have no words to define the panic and anger they feel at constant violations of natural order and sequence fobbed off on them as quality in education. The logic of the school-mind is that it is better to leave school with a tool kit of superficial jargon derived from economics, sociology, natural science and so on than to leave with one genuine enthusiasm. But quality in education entails learning about something in depth. Confusion is thrust upon kids by too many strange adults, each working alone with only the thinnest relationship with each other, pretending for the most part, to an expertise they do not possess.
Meaning, not disconnected facts, is what sane human beings seek, and education is a set of codes for processing raw facts into meaning. Behind the patchwork quilt of school sequences and the school obsession with facts and theories, the age-old human search lies well concealed. This is harder to see in elementary school where the hierarchy of school experience seems to make better sense because the good-natured simple relationship of "let's do this" and "let's do that" is just assumed to mean something and the clientele has not yet consciously discerned how little substance is behind the play and pretense.
Think of the great natural sequences like learning to walk and learning to talk; following the progression of light from sunrise to sunset; witnessing the ancient procedures of a farmer, a smithy, or a shoemaker; watching your mother prepare a Thanksgiving feast — all of the parts are in perfect harmony with each other, each action justifies itself and illuminates the past and the future. School sequences aren't like that, not inside a single class and not among the total menu of daily classes. School sequences are crazy. There is no particular reason for any of them, nothing that bears close scrutiny. Few teachers would dare to teach the tools whereby dogmas of a school or a teacher could be criticized since everything must be accepted. School subjects are learned, if they can be learned, like children learn the catechism or memorize the Thirty-nine Articles of Anglicanism.
I teach the un-relating of everything, an infinite fragmentation the opposite of cohesion; what I do is more related to television programming than to making a scheme of order. In a world where home is only a ghost, because both parents work, or because too many moves or too many job changes or too much ambition, or because something else has left everybody too confused to maintain a family relation, I teach you how to accept confusion as your destiny. That's the first lesson I teach.
The second lesson I teach is class position. I teach that students must stay in the class where they belong. I don't know who decides my kids belong there but that's not my business. The children are numbered so that if any get away they can be returned to the right class. Over the years the variety of ways children are numbered by schools has increased dramatically, until it is hard to see the human beings plainly under the weight of numbers they carry. Numbering children is a big and very profitable undertaking, though what the strategy is designed to accomplish is elusive. I don't even know why parents would, without a fight, allow it to be done to their kids.
In any case, again, that's not my business. My job is to make them like it, being locked in together with children who bear numbers like their own. Or at the least to endure it like good sports. If I do my job well, the kids can't even imagine themselves somewhere else, because I've shown them how to envy and fear the better classes and how to have contempt for the dumb classes. Under this efficient discipline the class mostly polices itself into good marching order. That's the real lesson of any rigged competition like school. You come to know your place.

Key Ideas from This Talk:
- No man is an island; we're all 'born in funk' and we all will 'die in the funk'.
- Denial, dodging, and dismissal of death, maximum distraction and "deodorized" discourse.
- Learning to die, through/with Philosophy, as a means to real growth.
- A more just society requires more critical, courageous thinkers that can even give up their dogmas when necessary.
- Holding opposing ideas simultaneously in our head, and yet still continuing to function, e.g. the U.S. as both a Noble Experiment in Democracy and an Ignoble Experiment in Empire.

Alan Watts on Nothingness
by adminadam in education, quotes, videos
- Sleep, passivity, rest — these are all things which are neglected due to a fear of Nothingness.
- Nothing is more fertile than Emptiness.
- It's not 'You can't have Something for Nothing', it's 'You can't have Something without Nothing'.
- That which is void is precisely Form. And that which is form is precisely Void.

The Food for Thought series explores the intricate relationship between food and culture as seen through the eyes of travelers. As we travel, visiting a local market, sharing a meal, or learning to cook with new ingredients are great ways to get to know a new destination. We forge new relationships, and make new friends based on this basic human need. We all have to eat! This week we meet Yara from the blog Heart of a Vagabond. Yara's blog reminds readers that different eating habits or beliefs don't need to hold you back when it comes to travel. With a little flexibility and an open mind, you might find your travels are enhanced as you discover new dishes that broaden your palate. Check out Heart of a Vagabond for some great tips on finding vegan options around the world, as well as articles on eco-tourism and Ayurvedic and other traditional medicines.
Meet Yara
Yara's Heart of a Vagabond is a mindful, sustainable, vegan-friendly travel and lifestyle design blog. As a long-time solo female traveler, Yara Coelho's coverage is steeped with experience and a depth of knowledge few others can match.
Food for Thought
The underlying idea of the "Food for Thought" series is that to truly experience a culture you must taste it. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
I totally agree with it. Traditional foods express not only the history of a country, but they're part of the identity of a culture as a whole. Religion, believes, and other factors shape the identity of foods around the world.
I studied Ayurvedic and Classical Chinese medicines, where food is basically the number one pillar of these holistic medicines. In china a doctor will prescribe certain foods as medicine and integral part of a treatment. There are restaurants specialized in medicinal food.
The Ayurvedic Medicine, has very precise "rules" on matching the foods we eat with out constitutional types to prevent and treat diseases. While in India studying this ancient art, I ate foods recommended for my constitutional type, which helped me overcome a food poison crisis that lasted 20 days.
The concept of food changes so much from culture to culture and includes herbs, spices, roots.
What food do you identify with "home?" Does it reflect something about your own culture or upbringing? Do you crave it while you're away?
I was not a "normal" child as far as eating, to be honest with you. Since I was a tiny child I always refused to eat meat, and basically all Portuguese traditional foods contain either meat or fish. So I never had any typical Portuguese food. My mother always made special food for me, mostly vegetable soups.
There are a couple of things I do crave when I'm away. One of them is Portuguese bread soaked in olive oil which is something very Mediterranean. I remember buying a small bottle of olive oil while I was in Thailand, just because I craved it too much. It cost me a little fortune, but it gave me a lot of pleasure.
How has travel affected the way you think about food?
Traveling really broadened the way I eat. It revolutionized everything for me. Being a vegetarian in a country where meat is very present, and vegetarianism was totally unknown back then, I was limited to very little options. When I started traveling, I was finally exposed to so many cultures and food varieties. I found out there are countries that are mostly vegetarian. I tasted flavors, textures and combinations that really changed the way I eat on a daily basis.
I have a rule of trying all vegan based dishes of the countries I visit. Every country has at least one, others can be "veganized".
Do you have a technique to try and understand local cuisine? (ie: Attending cooking classes or food tours? Hunting the best street food?)
I love visiting local markets! I think that's something I've learned with my father who was a fanatic for international markets. I have fun looking at the different varieties I can't find back home. I love finding fruits and vegetables I can barely identify, because later on, I can enter a restaurant and order them.
I started taking food tours when I visited Switzerland. My first food tour was a chocolate tour and all my old perceptions of what a good chocolate was changed forever. In Philadelphia I took a food tour through the old Italian market, tasted different foods and olive oils, trying to compare them to the ones I've tried in Italy.
I have a couple of food tours booked for my next two trips already I love street food as well, unfortunately Europe doesn't have a big street food culture. Asia is a paradise for street food lovers like me.
Tell us about a memorable meal that was so special it is forever ingrained in your memory. Where was it and what set it apart? What was served, and who shared it with you?
There were so many memorable meals. One of them was Aloo Paratha, a potato filled bread dish from India. I got so obsessed with it, I ate it for 6 months on a daily basis! I tried the Aloo Parathas from basically all Indian cities and states I crossed and had fun with the little regional variations. Some added onions, some added garlic. Some would be very thick, others make it very thin. When I crossed the border to Nepal I carried my Aloo Paratha obsession with me and noticed how the colder weather of Nepal required a more filling dish with a richer sauce.
My travel mate used to joke about my obsession, but I had other ones, like the Korma curry dish from India. I ate it till I got sick and tired of it.
What food have you tried in your travels that some might find shocking or surprising? Would you eat it again?
Hard to shock someone with a vegan dish, ahahaha.
And just for fun, if you had to choose one country's cuisine to eat for the rest of your life what would it be?
Hmmm, let's see. I think I'd stick with the Nepali food. Nepali food combines the best of the Indian food (less spicy, thank god!) with the rich and filling Tibetan foods. I love how rich and delicious Nepali food is and even though I absolutely love Indian food, after 5 months of continuous spicy dishes (while visiting India), Nepal was a well deserved rest.
Unfortunately, it's hard to find Nepali food easily. I could live on Nepali food forever I guess.

|My girlfriend and I set off on the Falling Waters trail around 6am, arriving at the summit of Little Haystack around 9:30am. From there we traversed the ridge to the summit of Mount Lincoln. From Lincoln we set off for the summit of Mount Lafayette around 12:15pm. We had zero visibility all day above treeline, making it tough to navigate certain sections and gauge how far we had to go. We finally have top of the line gear, except that my new new-matic BD sabretooth crampons kept popping off my Koflach arctis expe boots. After the 4th time they came off I switched to my hybrid crampons and life was swell. Took the Bridal Veil Falls trail 2.9 miles back to the trailhead, arriving around 3pm. Great day.

As I mentioned earlier, there has been a little controversy about FMF's guest post on get rich slowly. Some people actually stated that they were unsubscribing from GRS in disgust. The biggest problem cited is that non-religious people don't want to hear about religion on a personal finance blog.
This got me thinking. To what extent should I refrain from stating my opinions on taboo subjects like religion and politics in my personal finance blog? To what extent is it even possible for me to do so?
My non-believing paradigm colours many aspects of my life and is certainly a prime factor in my values – I notice this the most when I am reading posts on personal finance from someone from whose strong believer's paradigm becomes evident (like rocket finance or free money finance).
My political views also impact on the way IÂ see the world – and the world includes personal finance. I know that my political views are coloured by the country that I live in – which differs from most other personal finance bloggers – but I'm not sure whether I inadvertently subject people to my way of thinking as if its the only possible way, or whether my politics detract from my writing.
What do you think? Are my views on religion and politics too evident? Does it even matter? Should personal finance blogs be more or less neutral?

A Greeley middle school teacher's sexual relationship with a student allegedly began during the last school year, lasted through the summer and through her move to a different school. READ MORE: http://bit.ly/1IY1VfJ
GREELEY, Colo. - A Greeley middle school teacher's sexual relationship with a student allegedly began during the last school year, lasted through the summer and through her move to a different school.
Katerina Bardos, 24, was arrested Thursday and charged with sex assault on a child, sex assault on a child in a position of trust, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The Greeley Police Department said the former Brentwood Middle School teacher allegedly had sex with a 13-year-old boy whom she taught in her sixth grade classroom in 2014. Police believe the sexual relationship continued over the course of a year. The teacher is also accused of providing the student with pot.
The Greeley School District released a statement confirming the alleged victim is a student at Brentwood. But officials said Bardos' contract was not renewed in 2014.
She then began working at the Charter School, Frontier Academy, as a fourth grade teacher until her arrest. School officials sent a letter to student parents. It reads, in part: "The first thing we want you to know is that the safety of our students is our number one priority, and we have been informed that the arrest was unrelated to any student at Frontier Academy."
The letter goes on to state that Bardos' employment has been terminated.
Neighbors told 7NEWS they were shocked to learn of the charges. Allia Ashkanani said she grew up living next door to Katerina Bardos. She describes the teacher as one of the nicest people she's ever met.
"She was my mentor," Ashkanani said. "I've always looked up to her. She's always been a great person involved in the community."
We saw similar sentiments on the 7News Facebook page in response to the allegations. One person commented: "knowing her as long as I have it is so difficult to believe that it could be possible."
"I have no idea whether this is true or not but all I have to say is everybody makes mistakes," Ashkanani said.
Bardos holds a Colorado teaching license for elementary education, which was issued in 2013.
Bardos has no previous arrests on her record with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. She is scheduled to appear in court on May 18.

One of the first few names that come to your mind when you are planning to buy a decent camera is Nikon, a popular camera manufacturing Japanese firm. Of course there is Canon, Kodak, Sony etc but let's face the facts – Nikon is no slouch. Nikon cameras have been accepted by almost all countries in the world. The camera market has been fruitful for Nikon for many years now. Nikon's success streak doesn't seem to be much diminished. Nikon cameras with cool specifications impress a lot of people.
But nobody expected to get surprised with Nikon's recent quick decision. Recently, Nikon made it official that they discontinued the production of Nikon camera models D700 and D300S. In the official website of Nikon, Nikon's list of officially discontinued camera models also had the names of D300S and D700. The list of discontinued models is pretty long as well, which obviously means that Nikon is preparing for a major change, hopefully for the better things.
Nikon discontinuing the D700 and D300S gave rise to many doubts and rumours, obviously. And the rumours are also linked with Nikon's announcements for a change. It has been known for a while now that Nikon is all set to unveil the D800. But the question is whether the D800 is a replacement for the D700 model. If the answer is no, then there is also a question if Nikon is going to bring in cameras with names D700S or D700X, which would be a completely revamped version of the D700.
The Nikon D800 will supposedly be launched next week, according to reports. Nikon hasn't confirmed whether D800 is a replacement for D700. There are rumours about the D300S as well. But nobody knows if the D300S will have a replacement. And Nikon hasn't let out a word about it. Many forums called for the specs details of the Nikon D800, which was recently revealed.
Known specs about D800:
- 36 Megapixel sensor
- 51 Auto focus points
- Dual memory card slots
- Nikon Expeed 3 Image processor (expected)
These details haven't got any official confirmation yet. But many a few experts are placing bets on a screen over 3 inches, an ISO sensitivity up to 6400 and USB 3.0 support.
About the D300S, many people and forums claim they have heard reports and been tipped that there will be a successor for the D300S, which most claim to be D400. But as mentioned earlier, no words are out on this. Instead of just waiting to hear more rumours, we had better prepare ourselves for a surprise from Nikon with the D800 and more details about the change they are planning to go through.

Norman F. Gant/American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology Fellowship
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies) bring together the most eminent researchers, policy experts, and clinicians from across the country to work together to provide nonpartisan, scientific, and evidence-based advice to national, state, and local policymakers; academic leaders; health care administrators; and the public. The National Academies are uniquely qualified to offer an exceptional learning environment to selected early-career scholars and future leaders in medicine and public health. Through an endowment from Norman F. Gant, MD, and the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG), the Gant/ABOG Fellowship was established under the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) Fellowship program in 2009.
The Gant/ABOG Fellowship is named in honor of Norman F. Gant, MD, a member of the NAM and a former executive director of ABOG. The overall purpose of the Gant/ABOG Fellowship is to enable talented, early-career health science scholars in obstetrics and gynecology to participate actively in health- and medicine-related work of the National Academies and to further their careers as future leaders in the field. The program especially welcomes nominations of under-represented minority candidates. Diplomates or Active Candidates for Certification by ABOG, who hold non-tenured faculty positions in any university, are eligible for the program.
Program Description
The Gant/ABOG Fellowship will be awarded for a two-year period. During this time, the fellow is expected to continue to work at his/her main academic post, while being assigned to a health- and medicine-related board of the Academies. The boards are:
- Children, Youth, and Families
- Food and Nutrition
- Global Health
- Health Care Services
- Health Sciences Policy
- Population Health and Public Health Practice
The fellowship requires a 10 to 20 percent commitment of time for two years, and includes attendance at a one-week orientation to health policy, the Fall NAM Annual Meeting in October and the meetings of the assigned board. Additionally, the fellow will participate actively in the work of an appropriate expert study committee or roundtable, including contributing to its reports or other products. Studies will be identified that would enable the potential for the fellow to contribute to the value of integrating medicine and public health.
This experience will introduce the Gant/ABOG Fellow to a variety of experts and perspectives, including legislators, government officials, industry leaders, executives of voluntary health organizations, scientists, and other health professionals. Each fellow will be assigned to an NAM member who will serve as a senior mentor during the two years of the fellowship.
A flexible research stipend of $25,000 will be awarded to each Gant/ABOG Fellow. The stipend will be administered through the appropriate department in the fellow's home institution. Stipends are not intended for use as salary offsets.
Eligibility Criteria
Nominees for the Gant/ABOG Fellowship must meet the following requirements:
- Nomination by a member of the NAM or the American Gynecological and Obstetrical Society or a Director of the ABOG
- Diplomate or Active Candidate for certification by ABOG
- Non-tenured member of an academic faculty

Try this Coarse Fishing Reckoner before you go
Have you ever wondered whether the weather conditions will affect your fishing? Do you think that the previous night's moon phase might stop the barbel feeding or the drop in barometric pressure might put the carp off?
Well now you need worry no more, as a new website has been created that can help you pick the right species to target given any weather condition...
Mark Gaster, a 55-year-old Hastings-based angler, has been collating results of his fishing trips together with details of the prevailing weather conditions for the last eight years to come up with a computer programme that predicts which species is most likely to be feeding over the next five days.
And now he has made it available to anglers so that they, too, can target the right fish.
By feeding the appropriate information into the programme, such as wind direction, weather conditions, air and water temperature, air pressure and moon phase, it will then tell you which fish are most likely to feed so that you can make an informed decision about where and when to fish.
"I've been field-testing the programme for over three years now and it really does work very well it has definitely helped me to catch more consistently since I started using it," claimed inventor Mark, who advises people to use the BBC website's five-day weather forecast to find the necessary data to feed into his computer model.

It is crazy to me how even though the days are getting longer, I feel like I get so much less done. The sun is actually out and that means only one thing to me. Being out.side. And wanting to be outside from sunup to sundown really challenges my self-discipline when it comes to getting anything done inside. Like schooling, editing, blogging, bathing, cleaning, cooking, anything computer related, sleeping, resting, eating … etc. Even right now, at 7:23am, my house is still sleeping, I'm blogging, but the sun is calling and I am itching to get outside and start watering, weeding, planning, breathing, listening, enjoying. As soon as the dry weather sets in, the outdoor projects explode and once I (we) get these projects going, the energizer bunny in me has a one track mind. I'm trading in my space-heater and screen-time for my gardening gloves and sun-screen.
My boys (every last one of them) share my sentiment, which further enables me to lighten our indoor load and just be outside. This is great, but still, responsibilities of the indoors still call. Anyway, I'll get it worked out but I do hope you'll stick with me if I don't post every day. 😉 It'll just mean I've been outside. <3
Thankfully, our weeknight evenings have freed up just in time for this weather to come. We've finished up with swim lessons and even while we were there, Kaden soaked up what sun he could.
Since it was their last lesson, it was mostly just fun and games…
They'll be putting these lessons to good use in our pond before we know it! And when that time comes, I may only be coming inside to sleep! 😉
Thanks for visiting! <3 I hope your weekend was great and that your week has gotten off to a wonderful start!

Parenting on your own can leave you feeling overwhelmed. It's exhausting because your children depend on you for everything. You're responsible for all aspects of your family's well-being, from managing the finances to keeping track of homework assignments, meals, and extra-curricular activities. The only way you can sustain the energy needed to do this job well is to create some pockets of "me time" where you can get in touch with who you are as an individual and replenish... your energy levels. Here are ten tips for carving out that precious "me time" on a regular basis:
10 Ways to Carve Out "Me Time" as a Single Parent
01 of 10
Get Up Earlier
You've probably heard this suggestion before. This time, I want you to do something different: Try it! Until you've applied this strategy for at least seven days in a row, you're not going to realize how powerful it is. Start by setting your alarm for fifteen minutes before you really need to get up. Then use that time to listen to the quiet, write in a journal, or engage in another activity that restores your soul. Do not, however, use this time to get a head start on chores. Use... this time for you.
02 of 10
It's hard to plan for some alone time in the evening when your kids go to bed at a different time every night. Instead, implement a consistent bedtime routine so that your kids can anticipate rest and learn to fall asleep on their own. If you have early risers, you may also want to put an alarm clock in each bedroom and teach your kids to play quietly until at least 7:00 a.m.
03 of 10
Give Yourself at Least One Night Off Per WeekPart of what you need in your life is some time in your head - time to think , to plan, to dream. This is one of the most rejuvenating gifts you can give yourself! So at least once a week, give yourself a night off. After the kids have gone to bed, resist the urge to do the things you would normally do, like chores or watching TV. Instead, spend some time pursuing a hobby you love, reading a book, or reconnecting with a friend. Everything else can wait.
04 of 10
Use Your Shower TimeThose few minutes you spend in the shower each day are probably the most regular "alone time" you get. Plan to use it well! Purchase some energizing aroma therapy products that you love, and make the most of the few minutes you have to yourself. While you're there, take some deep breaths and let the water wash away some of that tension you're carrying.Continue to 5 of 10 below.
05 of 10
Take a Walk on Your Lunch HourLet's be honest. You don't need to hear another story about your co-workers's cat; so at least once a week, break away from the employee break room and go for a short walk on your lunch hour. This doesn't mean skipping lunch altogether, of course. You need those calories to sustain you through the afternoon. Eating a light meal and going out for a brisk walk is a great way to clear your head and exercise your body.
06 of 10
Introduce Quiet TimeIf your children are too old for naps, but still young enough to require constant attention, introduce "Quiet Time." This is when your kids read or play quietly in their rooms for one hour in the afternoon. You can then use that time to relax, read a magazine, or do something special for yourself. If you need to, create a behavior chart where your kids can keep track of their quiet time hours. Celebrate their cooperation with a trip to the library, a local park, or the children's... museum after several argument-free siesta periods.
07 of 10
Make a Date With Yourself
Why don't you have time for yourself? Go take a look at your calendar. Everything you do gets listed there, from dentist appointments to karate tournaments. Most likely, the privilege of regular, sustainable "Me Time" won't become a reality until you actually schedule it on your calendar. So grab a pen right now and mark at least one "Me Time" date for this month, even if it means hiring a babysitter.
08 of 10
Maximize Your Commute
Most of us spend a considerable amount of time in our cars. Instead of turning on the radio or making another phone call, turn everything off and enjoy a brief period of quiet. This simple habit can help you respond effectively to the challenges you face as a single parent, rather than reacting from your emotions or exhaustion.Continue to 9 of 10 below.
09 of 10
Use "The Box" Technique"The Box" is a collection of items that your children love to play with, such as Play-doh, special markers, and activity books. You can even save happy meal prizes to include in the "The Box." Then, when you need a few minutes of quiet, invite your children to play with "The Box" for fifteen minutes. As you begin to employ this strategy regularly, rotate the items inside so your kids don't become bored with what they find. It's amazing how much fun they can have... with simple toys that you make available for limited amounts of time.

Do Not Use Your Kids' TV Time to Do Chores
When you use your kids's TV time to do chores, two things begin to happen: 1) Your kids don't participate in the chores, and 2) They end up watching a lot more TV. Instead, do the chores together as a family. This way, you can use your children's TV time to sit and relax, collect your thoughts, listen to some music, or write in a journal.

Hopefully I have succeeded in providing for others the same experience I am looking for when searching for a unique and lovely holiday experience.
Pat Robertson purchased this cottage in 1978
It is my honor and a privilege to be the gatekeeper of this beautiful piece of property for many years. Sharing with others allows you to experience the unique and wonderful spirit of the Pacific Northwest. After the days adventure the cottage is your home away from home.
Cozy, creative and private with lovely views out of all windows into lush west coast gardens and soaring cedars.
We are so sad that we have to move to different accommodation here in Tofino. This is such a sweet house. Our family enjoyed the fire pit (smores), grilled salmon we actually caught and cooked on the grill outside, rode bikes up and down the bike path to get gelato and chocolates. This place is awesome. Wish we could stay longer!
The Heron House was a key part of our fabulous trip to Tofino. The location was excellent, easy biking distance to the beaches, town and the Wildside commercial area. Nestled in a cedar grove, the house is private and quiet. Walking down to the sound with a cup of coffee was a great way to start the morning. Pat is a good communicator and very responsive.
My boyfriend and I stay in Heron House for a week in January. We had only planned to stay four nights and ended up staying six because we loved the house and Tofino so much! It was perfect for two people and would be great for a few close friends or a family. The house was well-stocked with kitchen utensils, food staples, puzzles and games, books, and movies. Loved soaking in the claw foot tub after surfing or hiking, and then sitting in front of the fire with a pint of Tofino brew.

Proud parents-to-be Evelyn Lozada and fiance Carl Crawford are more than excited about the pending arrival of their baby boy (See HERE). So much so, the couple couldn't help but to show off Ev's growing baby bump.
Although the couple's faces are covered, Ev bares her nude bump with her fiance standing behind her. The couples hands, one atop the other, are also seen cradling her stomach.
Evelyn also shared the below image adding, "Me & fam #MrsCrawford"
We're not quite sure if Ev was referencing herself as Mrs. Crawford or whether this is Carl's mom or just his relative?
Seems a bit young to be his mom, doesn't it?
The couple who also announced they plan to wed last year (See HERE), haven't yet disclosed the details of when they actually plan on getting married.
We will keep you posted. Congrats to the happy couple!

5 Reasons Why Your Legitimate Online Business will Improve if You Write Your Own Articles
If article marketing is one of your main advertising methods for optimizing your online business website and generating targeted traffic then you need to be writing your own articles. In this article we will talk about 5 of the reasons why this is important and what the benefits will be to your business.
If you are working with a limited advertising budget for your online business, then article marketing is definitely a method you should use, mainly because it is free as far as out of pocket cost is concerned.
Your biggest expense will be the time involved in writing and posting your articles to various article directories.
1. Anyone can learn to write articles as there is no need for them to be masterpieces and as long as you are prepared to learn it is easily attainable.
There are hundreds of article directories on the internet and many of them offer free training on the ins and outs of article writing and marketing. It is an important skill to have in your arsenal of internet marketing skills, and can greatly improve your online business if you learn to do it correctly.
2. The main reason that people write articles is to generate targeted traffic to their websites and help build email lists as this is where your sales will come from. The more traffic you can attract to your site the better your online business will do, and the greater your profit will be.
By publishing your articles in various article directories where people go to find content for their own blogs or websites, you can generate a huge amount of traffic with the links to your website which you are able to place in the resource box.
The resource box is the bit at the end of your article that the readers can access to find out some information about the author and this is where you are allowed to place a link back to your own website.
Your articles will be found by all the search engines and will be spread even wider on the internet by other people who find them when looking for content, this all leads to more traffic for you.
3. Your website will be ranked when the search engines pick up your articles and once they are indexed people will find your site when looking for information. This is another opportunity for you to attract more traffic to your website and increase the possibility of making a sale.
4. By writing your own articles with information that is connected to your niche, you will become known as an expert in that field and you will be branding yourself at the same time.
The reason that this is important is that the better you are known, the more people will feel that they know and can trust you, and people are always more willing to purchase things from someone they feel they can trust.
5. If you for any reason doubt the benefits your legitimate online business can gain and the traffic you can generate from writing your own articles then think carefully about this. You can only benefit from paid advertising while you are actually paying for it. You no longer get any benefits from your advertising from the moment the payments stop.
The beauty of article marketing is that anything you may write will go on generating traffic as it remains online for many years.
By writing articles using your own words and style you will make them unique as no two people write in exactly the same way. The benefits that your online income business gains from you writing your own articles is huge and it is not really a difficult job to undertake. It takes a bit of practice in the beginning but the more you write the easier it gets and the rewards you receive are well worth the effort.
If you do not have the time to submit your articles to directories yourself, using a directory submitter will save you time and effort.
