If there is anything well understood by every family in Nigeria and Africa that should be unemployment.
If you search very well in any extended family, you will see someone who has finished university or polytechnic a few year ago and till date still looking for job.
That`s to talk about unemployment, not under-employment, since the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria only report unemployment as "measures of the number of people actively looking for job as a percentage of the labour force"
But what about millions who are underemployed or underpaid?
Being underemployed or underpaid, in my opinion, is just as bad as being unemployed.
There has been so much opinion about what causes unemployment in Nigeria, Africa and every other places in the world.
Some people blame government, others blame bad economy.
In my opinion, these people are wrong.
Economy and government may be contributing agents to the woe of unemployment, but there is one "man" who is the real cause of unemployment.
The name of that "man" is school.
Wait! Let me explain.
Whenever we have a problem, our first task is to identify what is the cause of our problem and why is it the cause.
If we miss this face in our solution finding process, we`ve missed solution itself.
I guess the whole world continues blaming the wrong "person" for unemployment and that`s the reason why the rate of unemployment is growing worse every day.
Why school is the cause of unemployment and what is the solution?
Borrow me your mind and let`s imagine this scenario together.
Africans give birth to about 20 million children (or more) every year. Two years after, these children will be taken to prisons (sorry, schools).
They will start learning alphabet, figures and other basic academic stuff, which is very good.
As these children continue with school, it only takes a few years before they will be brainwashed to think only in direction of job, "good job".
Before an average child finishes junior secondary school (that`s the first three years in secondary school), he must have started dreaming of working for a bank, an oil company, a big hospital or just any other business.
These children will not (never) think of creating or building a company… because they were never taught to think in that direction.
Am I making some sense with my analyses?
Thank you.
Now tell me, if in a country (Nigeria, Kenya or South Africa for example) two million children are given birth to and are trained just as explained above… in the way of job, by the time those children become 30 years old (and every one of them is searching for job), who will provide those jobs?
I have asked these questions many times and people usually wonder how simple the mathematics is, though some still give me silly answers such as, "government will provide jobs for them" or "they should become self-employed".
These two answers are silly (just as silly as people who think in those directions).
First let`s talk about people becoming self-employed.
I have written here that a Nigerian state governor is ignorant because he also think in that direction.
This is what I want to ask you: how easy is it to make a chicken fly? How easy it is to make a dog climb tree?
Difficult, very difficult.
But think about it. Chicken has feathers just like eagle and dog has four legs just as monkey. Chicken cannot fly high because it was never trained to fly. Dogs cannot climb tree like monkeys because it was never trained to do so.
How hard is it for our universities graduates to be self-employed?
Just as hard as it is for a chicken to fly.
How hard is it for our polytechnics graduates to be self-employed?
Just as hard as it is for a dog to climb trees.
Stephen, but why?
Because they were never trained to think in the way of creating things of value, marketing them and making money through them. They have been trained all their lives to think and work in a ready-made business system.
Becoming self-employed requires a lot of creativity. You must be able to think, create and sell. Unfortunately, these people have spent 25-30 years in a prison (sorry, school) where creativity was never taught or inspired.
Becoming self-employed requires that you`re able to take little risks left and right (at least if you want your business venture to grow). Unfortunately, our graduates have been trained to run away from risk and instead think of security (when in the real sense of life, security doesn`t exist. Now you see why I hate school).
What exactly is in the school curriculum that teaches skills needed to start a business? Or are you deceived too about that theoretical courses you offered that was called. "Entrepreneurship 101" or "Intro to business"?
Don`t be deceived!
Those courses were written by lecturers who never sold biscuit and are taught by lecturers who never market water. More so, they were never taught so that you will become an entrepreneur, instead, just to fulfil all righteousness of the curriculum.
So how can we hope to cure the disease of unemployment in Nigeria, Africa and the world through self-employment when we never taught our youths (practically) how to think, create and market values?
Let`s see how foolish is the second opinion (about asking government to create job).
This is sillier than the first argument yet, it is the most popular.
Can government create job?
Let`s see that mathematics.
What is the first thing we have to do if we must create jobs, many jobs for our youths?
We have to create businesses, I mean profitable businesses. Without many (thousands of) profitable businesses, unemployment will continue to be the biggest problem in Africa.
You agree with me? Of course you will. It`s only profitable businesses that can employee hundreds and thousands of people.
So let`s see the second question. Who can create, run and sustain a profitable business?
Politicians? Government?
You make me laugh.
I have heard many people saying this many times, "let our government build companies that will employ our youths".
Hahahaha…. Se company na bread and tea? Na so then they build am?
If you think government should build company, you must be thinking that what it requires to have a profitable company is money.
That will be wrong.
If I give you one million naira (or Shillings) today, I tell you, you cannot start and succeed in business with it, without needed business skills.
You tell me, which government (of any nation) ever run a successful company?
The answer is, no government of any nation has ever ran a successful business.
If for a mistake you have assumed that some of the "businesses" being run by some governments are successful, let me tell you their secret… monopoly.
Monopoly is a business system by which one single seller is allowed by the law to sell a particular product or offer a particular service.
That`s what Nigerian Nepa was (even till now, only in different form and names). That`s what Nigerian water cooperation is.
That`s what most of the governments` businesses are all over the world. That`s to show you how coward, incompetent and weak any government is, when it comes to managing a businesses.
Because it`s a known fact that government cannot manage a business, whenever governments want to get involve in a particular business, they know they have to create a monopolistic market or they will fail.
Why? Because government doesn`t have the necessary business skills to compete in the business world. Give Nigerian government 5 billion naira and give Dangote only one billion naira and let them both (a government of the whole country vs a single man) organize and compete in any given market. It will take Dangote only two years (or less) to have 70% shares of that market and just about five years, Nigerian government might have liquidated its own company.
If you don`t see it this way, you need a little research into how governments manage their investments in the past.
I analyzed that the only way we can reduce unemployment is to create profitable businesses. I claim that it`s silly to advise someone to be self-employed after haven trained him for 25 years on how to be an employee.
Now I'm proving to you that government cannot solve the problem of unemployment because it cannot create, run and manage a profitable business.
You may ask me, "Stephen, but why? Why can`t government create, run and manage businesses'?
Because the politicians (who are the decision makers for governments' investments and businesses, were rarely trained business owners.
Make a list of the world presidents, prime ministers, governors etc. and tell me who they were before they became who they are now.
Some of them were lawyers, some were engineers, some were soldiers etc. only one out of a hundred of them was a business man. If someone was a soldier all his life and now president of Ghana, how do you expect such a person to make smart business decisions about government`s businesses and investments?
I have proved to you that school (by teaching all children to love job) is the cause of massive unemployment.
I have proved to you that it`s silly, stupid and senseless to advise our youths to be self-employed after haven brainwashed them for 25 years about job and security.
Since we know there is no more jobs, why don`t we start training our children how to create, run and manage businesses even right from their early age?
I have proved that government cannot build companies because it cannot manage business, profitably.
So what is the solution to the problem of unemployment in Nigeria, Africa and the world?
This is the simplest part of our discussion, yet it`s the hardest to follow.
It`s simple because if you were fully with me all through my above analyses, you must have seen it (obviously) what the cause of unemployment is and what will not be right solutions.
In the realm of man, whenever we discover the cause of a problem, the solution is right on our door-step (if we`re willing to take the right steps).
The solution to the problem of unemployment is for us to kill school.
I know that`s too harsh and I have no apology whatsoever. If the present school system continues to be our lord and god as we take it today, I prophesy that in the next 10 years, only one out of a hundred university graduates will be able to secure a job that can feed him.
The whole thing school is teaching is anti-creativity, anti-business-strength, anti-everything that can give us jobs.
I`m advocating for a new system of education which will build up our children to be thinkers, creators and sellers (of their ideas and themselves). I`m advocating for a new educational system that will not train people to be slaves, but warriors.
I`m advocating for a new educational system where the graduates will not be helpless, so they won`t depend on anybody or government, but themselves, their brains, their God-given skills and talent.
Such education will give us more jobs than we have people to do and our next problem will be scarce labour, instead of scarce job.
Unfortunately, such education is difficult to adopt by the world because it`s more tedious to operate it.
What is the solution?
Only you can give yourself (and your children) such education.
Education is the solution to the problem of unemployment in Nigeria, Africa and the world.
When I say education here, I didn`t mean to say school. Forget school for a moment. That "guy" doesn`t give the right kind of education we need in this era.
When I talk about education, I mean seeking knowledge that will equip your mind with strengths, creativity and skills needed to create the kind of life you desire either by creating a great product, rendering a great service or selling your talents and giving values to people in exchange for their money.
Develop the habit of reading books written by great men and women. Develop the habit of reading books written by entrepreneurs and which teach you how to be a successful business owner (like these great business books).
If we equip our brains on how to create, run and manage businesses, we`ll have courage and skills to succeed in business world. We will have more successful business. We`ll have many jobs and our unemployment rate will drop to near nothing.
This is what you have to do. This is what all our youths have to do. This is what will solve our problem of unemployment.

Introducing Raj Khiroya - for Chorleywood South and Maple Cross!
Originally published by West Herts Liberal Democrats - Working for Hertfordshire, for Britain and for You!
Local Liberal Democrat Members have selected Raj Khiroya to standing in the forthcoming Three Rivers District Council Elections to be held on May 2nd.
He is hoping to join Cllr Martin Trevett and Cllr Phil Williams as one of the three local District councillors for the Chorleywood South & Maple Cross Ward.
Raj has lived in Chorleywood for 33 years and is married to Tanuja, who manages the Radiology Department of an important University NHS Trust. They have two adult sons who were both educated at a local school. Raj has set up and run a number of successful small businesses across the country.
Raj has experience of local government, having served as a Chorleywood Parish Councillor since 2008. He is currently Chair of the Planning Committee and was previously Chairman of Chorleywood Parish Council. He also sits on the Parish Council's Open Spaces Committee and the important Policy & Resources Committee.
Raj Khiroya also has experience as a Three Rivers District Councillor, where he has served as the District Councillor for the Penn & Mill End Ward. During his time as a District Councillor he was a member of the Planning Committee, Vice Chair of the Audit Committee and a member of the Licencing Committee.
An active member of the local community, Raj is a former Chair of the Chorleywood Residents Association and a governor of a local school. He works with a number of charities, including serving as a member of Chorleywood Care, works with Rickmansworth Foodbank and the Mill Café, based at the Methodist Church in Rickmansworth and he volunteers each week to provide hot meals to homeless people in central London.
Raj strongly supports local issues relating to the environment including recycling, preservation of Green Belt in our area and the need to fight overdevelopment.
Raj Khiroya has been no stranger to hardship, adversity and sacrifice.
He was born in Uganda and came to the UK in February 1969 for higher education. Unfortunately he could not return to Uganda after the family were made refugees by the Idi Amin regime. His father and brother were kidnapped in 1972 by the Ugandan Army to extract money from the family. His parents were able to reach the UK in 1972, but as a result of these losses, Raj could neither complete his education nor follow his aspiration of a career in law. Instead he gave up his dreams to start working to support his family in business. Raj very quickly learnt collective responsibility and duty in taking care of the family.
It is this that gives him his continuing drive to play his part in public affairs and in charitable work to help and support those in need.

Chevrolet Blazer Warning Lights and Gauges
in Chevrolet
The problem started last march with the engine light. I used a small shop for repairs. they couldn't fix it. they would reset it and it wouldn't come back for months. This month it came back so i took it to dealer. they fixed it. now it is back on again! the light seems to come on once a month.

tidester, host0
kaatman12 Posts: 1My service engine light remains on all the time. I have had it reset several times to no avail. When the diagnostics are run, the error says that the O2 sensor is shows a high voltage. I have had this replaced but keep getting the same error.
Problem appears to be in the computer. The real question here is that when I try to get my vehicle emmission tested for licensing, the computer shows that it is "NOT READY" and gives the same error message. Is there anything that can be done besides replacing the entire computer to solve this problem?0
There are 3 O2 sensors on a Blazer so did the right one get replaced? Need code to make sure. Plus if 99-01 model you have secondary air injection and if that has a fault can often show as an intermittant O2 sensor or bank rich due to a system check the computer runs - the system pump may be failing or a check valve frozen or hose burned out so give the code/model/year.0
Need to get the code read out and then can help direct you to a fix - Advance and Autozone and many others read for free so stop by and write the code down - then have them erase it too. Post code - hundreds of possibilities.0
I am sick of my 2001 blazer.It has 64000 miles. The check engine light came on again. The dealer calls the code p0410. That's a air pump. That code has been part of the last problem I had.The last time it had 5 codes at one time.(po101 0141 0155 0410 and 1416). Now it's only the po410. That one part will cost me $500 to fix.
The part is on national back order. That tells me the part is in demand. So alot of blazers have this problem. Why is it not a recalled item? By the way since march I have spent $2000 in repairs.0
Only used 99-01 so you lucked out - just kidding.
Fixed my 01 and a total rebuild on the 99. Some parts can be obtained from a local auto store using the Delco # found on the pump and the check valves eveyone has. Got the pumpine for $100. See the description below because there are a few check valves, hoses, and solenoids also that often fail.
DTC P0410 (SES Light On) - Secondary Air Injection
P1415 and/or P1416 for secondary air injection Bank A and B can also be set if the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a heated oxygen sensor voltage mismatch and activates an internal test to confirm.
Circuit Description:
This is located under the radiator (pump, electric solenoid, and vacuum shutoff valve) and tees off up to the exhaust manifolds thru 2 check valves on 4.3L. For 4wd remove the front skid plate to access. The secondary air injection pump is used to lower tail pipe emissions on start-up. The PCM supplies a ground to the pump relay, which energizes the pump and the electric solenoid valve. Engine vacuum is applied to the shut-off valve when the solenoid is energized. The engine vacuum opens the shut-off valve that allows air to flow to the exhaust manifolds. Often the pump gets water/moisture in it and freezes up blowing the fuse and the check valves rust or freeze open internally and then burn thru the rubber hose, and even melt the lower "T", shutoff, and even pump impeller.0
theugamom Posts: 1My check engine light just came on while traveling from Miami to Savannah, GA. I had the code read at Autozone and they said it was P1970 - manufacturer controlled transmission code and to see a dealer. Is there a way to fix this myself or must I take it to a dealer. Transmission is slipping a little but not bad - yet!0
Believe you meant P1870.
Harsh 1-2 Upshift, SES, MIL, or CEL Illuminated, DTC P1870 Set (Replace Valve Body)
When the conditions for setting DTC P1870 are met (first trip), the PCM commands maximum line pressure and harsh 1-2 shifts are the result. This may result in a harsh 1-2 shift with no history code if the conditions for setting the DTC required for the second trip are not met, on two consecutive trips (Ignition cycles, with a drive cycle).
Bottom line driving it may or may not damage it more - I had this occur on my 99 and after shutting it off and restarting it went away and that never returned. At least stop by and have the pan dropped and the filter changed ($60-85) and see if all works OK. This normally only requires a TCC solenoid replacement if any repair - but depends on mileage and use/abuse (towing/offroading etc).0
broke3 Posts: 1Replaced the alternator a few months back. Then the coil went. replaced. a month later coil went again. replaced. a month later coil went again. have replaced coil, coil wires, distributor, fuel pump and filter, dist. cap and rotor, coil. now... burns coil before it even starts...twice. Getting very expensive! Can you help?0
The ignition module in the dist probably does not shut off completely and always a low voltage to the coil overheating it. My guess. There are specific tests for this listed in most manuals requiring a simple volt meter.0
wgz4life Posts: 1my blazer (2000) has a weird problem. It's like the it can
t shift gears. It has no power. I hit the gas all the way and all it gives me is like 20 mph. That Service light has come on again for ny vehicle. they first time we had the Alternator replace and it helped. Second time me and my dad replaced the Alternator and it worked again. But this is getting very costly. what should I do? Should I get rid of this car or should I attempt to fix it?0
Need to read the code out and post it - most auto stores read for free and most tell you the part that MAY be bad.
$150 for an alternator is pretty cheap as things go on vehicles. Also is it 4wd and what mileage and what else have you done recently.0
connypa Posts: 2I am looking for some advise on a problem I am having with my dash board guage lights. I can not see anything on my dash board because it doesn't light up. I have check the fuses and they are ok. Would anyone have any idea what else it could be? This is for a 1993 Chevy Blazer S10. Any help is appreciated.
lineman052 Posts: 3I just got a 2000 GMC Jimmy, SLE. I had it about a week and when I fill it it never goes below 1/2 full. I have about 500+ kilometres on the trip meter and sometimes when I turn it on it goes to empty then the low fuel light comes on. Once I start to drive it goes back to half full.
I need some direction to look for a cause.
Thank you for any and all help.0
Most are simply due to the crappy sender in the tank part of the pump assembly - Delco pump ranges from $300-400 and then have to drop tank to install. My 01 does same type thing randomly so I use the trip odometer to make sure I get gas - I'll fix when I really get pissed at it. You can try to clean the electrical connectors on the output on top of the tank reached by dropping the spare tire and reaching up - tight fit - and make sure the ground is good but my guess is its the sender. A resistive swing arm type.0
Don't have specifics on this year but first I would look at the headlight switch dimmer knob control and see if that works. If its a digital dash 89-94 range they are known to fail/have faults so google on them and you can get a rebuilt for about $150.0
auto9999 Posts: 86This may sound too simple but I have also experienced that problem before, and my cure was to move the light dial from the lowest. The lowest position in the dial totally shuts off any lights on the dash on my 2000 Blazer.0
My husbands jimmy's check engine light has been on for about 5 months. We now know that the fuel pump is bad because one day it wouldn't start and he tapped the bottom of the tank and then it started. He doesn't have to do this every time. We took it to the shop for an inspection knowing that we would have to get that fixed before they would give the sticker. Any way they found 5 or 6 codes and said it would be $1500.00. AIR (air injection regulator) pump, hoses and check valves. Fuel pump, filter and hoses/lines. Also a CERP belt. Could the fuel pump being bad cause all the other codes? Is it really needing all these parts. I didn't write down the codes the shop gave but i can get them if you need them. Also should we fix this our selves? Also how hard of a job is it?0
wbgal Posts: 9I an not an expert but I just had my Jimmy put on the computer the other day too because my check engine light was on and we were having major problems with it. I was given two codes, one for the O2 sensor and one for the 3-2 shift selinoid in the transmission. After replacing both I was told that the computer was wrong and that the entire transmission is bad and has to be replaced immediately. Two different mechanics told me that the computer doesn't always give the exact answer, it gives a round about answer of what it could be and then the garage/shop tries to narrow it down from there (not sure if that's true or not but that's what the mechanic told me at the time). I would suggest having it put on another computer just in case, there is no point putting out all of that money if it's not the cause (like I just did).0
Sorry for the slow response I was campimg and yes it did rain of course!
1. As for the air pump - yes those often fail and their is a pump under the radiator that pumps air into exhuast for 1 min or so on startup and the hose stucks water, the 2 metal check valves fail open and burn the hoses off too, and then their are 2 solenoids and 2 pplastic diaphrams that can get burned.
2. Fuel pump pressure has to be tested and its 60psi min at start (key on engine off) and 53psi min running. Need a pressure tester on the test rail about $35 from Actron. In the tank and a pain to drop if not setup to do it. Use only a Delco pump as most aftermarkets have had problems and only have a 1 year warranty. Part is $400-500.
3. Yes, possible that low or fluating fuel pressure cabn cause other codes but need the codes - a P0300 random misfire is one but that has about 6 other possible reasons too.
4. Serpentine belt is the big "fan" belt that is $25-30 part and then thereare 2 pulleys tha may squeal called the idler (fixed on top) and the flex one called tensioner.0
The most common problem for this occurance, is your entire Fuel Sending Unit. Theres a float arm that reads OHM's, and well, over time, the metal slide plate inside the tank, on the unit itself goes bad.
I would recommend a stock DELCO unit, but you can get aftermarket units for fairly cheap.
Another place you can buy a fuel sending unit is from a guy in florida, who runs a very reputable EBay store. I've bought many S10/Blazer parts from him, and never had any problems. He is a really good guy.
Heres a link to his store - S10 Warehouse
Keep in mind, that when you install the new unit, to be very careful with the arm when your putting it back in. THEY ARE VERY SENSITIVE...
-- Cheers, "KuT"0
Just recently, I installed a new Multi-Blinker/Cruise Switch, and cruise box. I had taken the dash apart to do some deep cleaning, (Radio Removed, Gauge Cluster removed). It all sat out for about 24 hours. When I put it all back together, My Security Light stays lit, the truck turns over, runs for <1sec, then dies. Passlock engaged, disabling the fuel injectors?? Also, None of my courtesy lights are working neither. Checked all fuses and relays, everything checks out ok.
Could having the radio unplugged for so long, reset the Anti-theft/passlock code? Im lost, and dont know where else to turn..0
When you turn the key to run the security light should go out after like 5 sec - if it does not passlock maybe activated. If it goes out you have another problem.
The Passlock Anti-Theft system involves resistor codes which are generated by resistors located in the ignition key cylinder switch. The GM Passlock system uses what is known as a Hall Effect Sensor to send a resistor code to the Passlock module. The resistor code is activated when the ignition key is physically rotated in the ignition switch. Depending on the model of GM vehicle, the actual resistor code is only introduced to the Passlock system when the ignition switch is turned to the ignition on (run) position or only when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position.0
Thank you for that bit of knowledge, it does help.
This is also what I learned (Don't know if it will help others)
When I unplugged the wiring harness from the Multi-Switch/Ignition, I forgot to unhook the battery before doing so. (I swear I took the cables off). With the battery still giving juice, and my taking the harness off, the system took it as "Teft Tampering of the wires", and put the system into Anti-Theft mode. Also, being that I had stuff unplugged so long, there was a communication error, and the system body module had lost some kind of information.
The dealer diagnosed it, popped 3 codes, and reset everything, and had to "re-teach" the module.
All being said, the truck runs (yay), and I now have C/C. What I thought would be an easy task, and a fairly cheap one, turned out being nearly $300 after everything was done.
Meh.. Im just an uneducated 23 year old, learning from his mistakes.0
thanks a bunch for your comment. We ended up just forking out the money so every things under warranty. We probably could of fixed it for less than half their price but O WELL.
Lifes a B.
thanks again0
I have a 99 Blazer that has 16,500 miles on it. When I start it up the gauges do not work and the engine light is on. If I push in the button for the trip then everything works but all the idiot lights are on. The truck also does not run good when the gauges are not working. The problem happen once before and I took the gauge unit out and made sure the connections were good and then it worked fine for a few weeks. I tried that again and this time nothing. The Blazer ran good before the dash went out.
Anyone have an idea what to check for?0
I would say the main harness is not plugged in all the way behind the gages or the battery/terminals are not allowing 12.6 volts - Blazers act weird at lower voltage (Is the volt gage reading around 14 volts as the alternator is charging?0
The connect to the gauge unit is good good. Is there another I should look for and where would it be? While checking to see what the volt gauge read, which was over 14 volts. I noticed that the volt gauge and the speedo work. Its the fuel, oil pressure, and the temp don't work. Also the mileage does not lite up.0
uptown Posts: 2i agree it should be a recalled item. this is ridiculous. i am and have been going thru this for a year . now after hurricane. so im sure water had something to do with it. now we had a flood; so htis p0410 is it something i can fix. i am changing the fuel pump and regulator. will this do it. well dad is doing it.!! ha ha0

With the deaths of ruling party's Fukuoka Member of Parliament and his eldest son, his heir apparent, in an plane accident, a by-election had to be held right away and, Kanbayashi Masaichi, the House secretary of the ruling party,conceived the idea of fielding the second son, Asakura Keita, and sent his secretary Miyama Rika to complete the task.
Keita was an elementary school teacher in Nagano and his hobby was star gazing.He had no interest in politics. At Rika's persuasion and the pressure of his family, he reluctantly agreed to run for office but with no intention of winning. However, with the help of Nirasawa Katsutoshi, an election strategist, he went on to win by a narrow margin of just 164 votes.
When the Prime Minister was forced to resign over allegation of sexual harrassment, Kanbayashi concocted the idea of nominating the inept Keita to run for the party's leadership and thereby becoming the next Prime Minister as he thought it would be easy to manipulate him and work the situation to his own advantage so he would become the next PM when Keita failed. However, the sincerity and hard work of Keita soon won over every sceptic and as Kanbayashi found out, he was not a puppet on his strings. Kanbayashi had to come up with another scheme to destroy Keita. How far would he go to realize his ambition? Could he succeed?

If there is one group who are in desperate need of support to be at their best, it's our teaching community.
The omnipresent need to be preparing, planning, teaching, reviewing and managing extra-curricular activities combined with the importance of the task itself is a challenging environment for teachers at all levels.
This represents a risk on a cognitive, behavioural and emotional level which if left unchecked impacts your personal wellness and teaching performance.
While there are many philosophies for what we should do, the neurological evidence provides us with a more scientific basis for action.
What is clear from the data is that we are attempting to operate in a way in which we are not designed and the result is a level of stress which has become the norm, rather than an emergency response that something needs to change.
The good news is that the evidence also points to 6 specific areas where we can make good decisions to be at our best.
We call them the 6 cylinders of wellness.
NUTRITION: Get a diagnostic on what your body needs and feed it the fuel it requires.
ACTIVITY: 30 mins of low intensity activity per day and movement every 45 minutes.
SLEEP: Regular sleep patterns without technology in the bedroom.
SOCIAL CONNECTIONS: Connecting regularly with positive people face to face, not online.
TIME OUT: A weekend away or holiday is an important sustainability measure.
OUTLET: Any activity which engages your mind and body.
Our 2014 research shows that by making small changes, stress reduced by 8% and workload pressure reduced by 16% in 6 weeks.
So to be at your best, you need to be selfish here and look after your own wellness. In doing so, you'll be a more effective teacher.
A complete guide can be found on our website with a personal scorecard and action plan for you to complete.

To be fair, just as CNN or Fortune disclose that they are "a Time Warner Company", I should let you know that although not in it now, I grew-up in the consumer show business (my parents own and or operate a bunch in the Albany, NY market). Consumer shows (Auto, Home, Bridal, Boat, RV, Ski, Sport, etc) have been around forever and yet for the most part have not been consolidated (although there are two companies working on that now), re-invented, grown, or even been on most of our radar. Consumer shows are a huge growth area for the Live Entertainment and Branded Live Entertainment Businesses and something you should look into right away.
Certainly can't speak for the rest of the world, but in the U.S., consumer shows are for the most part controlled market-to-market. One promoter usually "owns" a city or region and does a majority of the shows in that market by locking-up the convention center or best venue or venues in town (e.g. Javits Center in NYC). There is no reason for this model to continue, although if you wanted to start this way, there are markets open for you to jump into all over the country. Because consumer shows are not seen as sexy to the entertainment industry (no real talent, very short windows to make money, low margins), we have ignored them. As consumer show promoters' die-off, there is no one there to take their place so the markets now lay dormant. Opportunity there for sure, but what I'm thinking is looking at this from a whole new angle.
Consumer shows work perfectly into today's economy. What I'm suggesting is infusing what all of you do best into a model that in many cases needs some updating. Have you been to one of these shows recently? If not, go. You would be surprised that with few exceptions (some of the auto shows for example), not much has changed. Same booths, same pipe-n-drape, skirted tables, demos, brochures, promotional giveaways, and appearances by "celebrities" you've kind of heard of…you think. What if there was real celebrity, real production, and great brands all built around the idea of helping consumers with a problem?
As an example, "the news" is full of reports that the new home starts are way down. Makes sense since banks have no money to lend. So what if Sears were to grab two big celebrities they currently work with, Tye Pennington (new school) and Bob Vila (old school) and build "Do-it-Yourself Workshops" around the country starring Tye and Bob? Besides Tye Pennington and Bob Vila, Sears and Craftsman become the stars and their brand breaks through the clutter. Sears and Craftsman advertising and promotions not only push the brands, but the upcoming events (which they also have a piece of), their stars and their stars' brands (sold through Sear's outlets and online). You could do the same with Kmart, Wal-Mart, Target, Ford, Dell, AIG (no spa treatments please), P&G, Coke, Wells Fargo, and any other brand that wants to reach consumers. Again, you must be helping people with a problem.
The keys to success are these.
1) Be Authentic. Your event needs to be the real deal, not a mobile marketing campaign for your brand.
2) Have great talent involved up and down the line. It isn't enough to have a few celebrities involved; you need to have a first class event. As an example (although not a consumer show), if you were to ever go to Michael Jordan's adult fantasy camp, you would notice that you not only get MJ himself, but a whole team of NBA and NCAA coaches, training and hospitality staff.
3) Media partners are key. Most consumer shows don't spend much on advertising. They usually will partner-up with a local print, TV, and radio partners.
4) Make money before you open the doors. Between selling booth space and sponsorship your consumer show should be making money before you sell a single ticket. Any money you make at the gate is gravy.
5) Don't charge the public a lot of money for a ticket. If your show is extremely talent heavy and in a major market, maybe you charge $20 with no coupons (of course there should be multiple places for consumers to get coupons for discounted tickets).
6) Solve problems for consumers. As an example Wells Fargo (my bank) could setup "Get Back Your Money" shows where they bring in the biggest names in personal finance as well their best local stars to help consumers get back on their feet.
7) Start Now!!!
If ever there was a time to get into the consumer show business, now would be it. Whether you are a brand, live event pro, or currently in the consumer show business, it is at least worth a look to see if you could find an opportunity for yourself or company in consumer shows.
Would love your input.
Talk to you soon…

|Tuise Crom, the last samourai (of his village)
- I took out all the paints I would be using and placed them in groups for each part
- I plugged the hairdryer in the bathroom in case I'd need to speed drying times for washes or anything
- I went to the toilets before (you do not want to urinate yourself just because you're almost done with your last details
and then at 19:59 I took the photo of the primed model and started when the 20:00 signal appeared...
|That's the point where you know the beginning but not the end...
2 while minutes just to add 3 drybrushes for the basing ! I'm already getting late (I really thought this would only take 30 seconds...)
|I must have spent as much time on the logo in the back as on the highlights of the whole suit...
|Oh yeah, nice idea, let's make a sort of reflexion on this piece instead of painting it in a plain colour...
The model was kindly donated to me by the excellent Sho3box when he heard about this little project.
|Why did you paint me this way JB-sama ?
|Akira Kurosawa's 7 samourai
Another way to see things :
|The magnificent 7
|Picture from Solegend
|"- You and me sempai !
-Yes Tuise, you and me..."
And I'd like the pieces of equipment to be a bit better like my own Kendo helmet (called Men)

6 years ago I can remember feeling so tired and sluggish ALL the time!
I specially remember getting out of bed sleepily in the morning around 8 or 9 on my days off and waking feeling like I hadn't even slept.
You know that feeling when it's like… awe man it's time to wake up already… WTH!
As I opened my bedroom door and headed to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth all I would be thinking is I need more energy!
So I would hop in my black Jeep Cherokee, head out of my apartment complex down the winding road to Starbucks that was just a 5 minute drive, if that.
Then I'd proceed to pull into the drive thru and order my favorite thing on the menu which was the Caramel Macchiato.
Now depending on the season I would either get the iced one or the hot one… either way that was my usual and extra caramel, whipped cream and sugar was my jam.
This was my routine for months, in order for me to get my energy going for the day...but honestly it only kept me energized for like an hour or 2 before I'd feel the slump and then reach for something else to get my energy going like sugar, sweets, or some carbs and that would last a bit then…up here it comes a gain… You get the point.
It would always be these high's and lows of energy that caused me to reach for something sweet or carby… at the time I didn't really know it had anything to do with my unstable energy as to why I was always addicted to sugar and carbs.
Can you relate?
Feeling low energy, sluggishness, and irritable… I mean don't let someone even look at you the wrong way or else!
At least until you've had your fix of coffee, sugar, carbs, or caffeine.
When I look back on that time in my life… it really prevented me from truly enjoying the most out of the moments I shared with friends or family because I was always so tired.
It also prevented me from truly giving the energy I needed to things I wanted to do outside of work… like learn how to play guitar, work on my YouTube channel I had back then on natural hair lol, or honestly just enjoy life outside of work.
I wasn't really living and part of that had to do with the lack of energy I had.
Along with lack of energy… I also struggled with bloating, constipation and acne which required me to need 3 mediations to control it.
Then the huge turning point came for me in April 2014 at the age of 27 I was diagnosed with a rear cancerous tumor growing in my left knew that left me shelled shocked.
As I dove into research what the heck was going on with my body… the constant low energy, adult acne, and now cancer I fell down a rabbit whole of nutrition and lifestyle information that I was NEVER TAUGHT in nursing school (oh yea to date I've been an RN For 10 years working in critical care and we still never talk about proper nutrition). I'm a graduate of the Institute of Integrative nutrition, where I received my certification as Holistic Health Coach.
So what did I do that helped me gain more energy to power through my day, calm by adult acne to get clearer skin, build my immune system so that cancer couldn't stand a chance in my body, and start living my life again?
I detoxed and went on a full on plant-based diet.
With in weeks I started to feel energy that sugar couldn't compare to, my skin started clearing up, I felt confidant about taking my health into my own hands, and finally now could live my life to the fullest and do things I wanted, not having all my energy consumed by my job.
I was completely living again and felt good in my body doing so!
Since then it has been my mission to help women all over the world build healthier bodies, lose weight, gain energy, get a flatter belly, and feel confidant in their skin.
This is done through detoxification, plant based nutrition (by the way this doesn't mean you have to give up meat.. but more so transition to getting most of your nutrients from plant based sources), building heathy lifestyle habits, and infusing soul/spiritual health in the mix.

Old Navy: Printed Banded Scoopneck Top Review
This is a top from Old Navy. I have no idea what it is technically called, but it's printed, banded at the hip, and has a scoopneck. It's item number 634320, is alpha-sized, and was priced $15.
I like this shirt a lot. It is made out of a nice, soft jersey material, that flows and hangs very nicely. It fits true to size, and is meant to be a more relaxed fit. I think the top looks pretty nice from the front - it has a flattering scoopneck, and blouses nicely.
From the side, I think it's still a cute looking top. It's still a relaxed fit, but doesn't add any extra weight from the side. I like the length on the sleeves - not too short, and not too long.
From behind, it is a basic, banded top, but nothing super special. Again, it drapes nicely, and has a nice silhouette.
Here is a close-up of the pattern on the shirt, as the main pictures came out a little blurry.
Overall, I did like this top, and I even bordered on loving it, but I was trying to be good, so I left it behind for now.
What do you think? Do you like this top? Do you like the print?

Contraception has been in the news lately in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby that closely-held corporations whose leaders object to contraception for religious reasons can opt out of covering contraception as part of their employee health care plans. (Though the Hobby Lobby case focused on just four forms of contraception, the Court has clarified that the ruling covers all 20 forms of contraception protected through the Affordable Care Act.) Considering the fact that around 90 percent of corporations are closely-held, the ruling could affect a lot of women.
Opinions about the ruling aside, I've been stunned by some of the misinformation circulating around social media about contraception, the most unhelpful of which characterizes women who use contraception as "entitled," "sluts," "moochers," and "whores."
I've shared my own thoughts on contraception in a post entitled "Privilege and the Pill," but today I wanted to yield the floor to ten women whose stories challenge these unfair caricatures. I am incredibly grateful for their bravery and honesty in stepping forward to tell the truth of their experiences. Please, listen:
Samantha Field
I had my first hemorrhagic cyst when I was just fourteen. After a barrage of tests to eliminate insulin problems, my doctor diagnosed me with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and prescribed hormone therapy to manage it.
Over the next six years, I experimented with a variety of "birth control pills" trying to find one that wouldn't cause migraines and nausea. Eventually I discovered the NuvaRing, which worked amazingly—except that in graduate school, I couldn't afford it anymore. This meant I had to deal with periods that were so debilitating, prescription narcotics couldn't touch the pain. It affected everything in my life.
Once, during the middle of a lecture I was assisting, I felt a sudden, breathtaking surge of pain. I stumbled out of the classroom, half-blind, not even really understanding where I was going except away. I collapsed in the hallway and went into shock, and my boss had to call an ambulance. I waited in the ER for fourteen hours before a doctor told me what had happened: a cyst had ruptured.
Today my medical insurance covers the NuvaRing for free; my periods have returned to something approaching manageable, and I haven't had any cysts for the last two years. I don't know what I would do if my employer suddenly stopped covering my treatment.
Rachel McGlone Hedin
I am a pro-life lactation consultant and public health nurse. I use birth control because I love my husband and three kids. I have had three cesarean sections due to a congenital uterine malformation, and the risk of uterine rupture is too high to get pregnant again.
I never used birth control prior to having kids, though I am a supporter of it for many reasons. Using birth control now protects my life and my family.
Heather Barmore
In 10th grade I had my first incredibly painful period. The cramps were excruciating and I was vomiting. I spent two days at home in the fetal position, wishing my womanhood away. The only things I used to alleviate the pain were Midol and a heating pad.
It wasn't until college, during another month of severe cramps that I resorted to birth control. At the time, I was one of those people who believed there was no need for birth control if I wasn't having sex. Let's just say that ignorance isn't too blissful when you're crumpling in pain once a month.
I use birth control not for precautionary measures—though that is a nice side effect—but because I cannot spend one week out of every month immobilized in bed. I use birth control to improve my health and the quality of my life.
Erica March Menard
My 15-year-old daughter suffers from ulcerative colitis, an autoimmune disease. She was diagnosed at the age of 9. Before starting birth control, her monthly periods (which exacerbate the chronic pain she experiences, especially while in "flare") were so unbearably painful that she couldn't even walk. I'll never forget picking her up at school, where she—a stoic, proud and reserved girl—told me that she had to limp to the nurse's office, in full view of her classmates and with tears running down her face, because she was in such agony.
If my daughter didn't have access to birth control, she would be unable to attend school (or get out of bed to go anywhere else, for that matter) for five days of each month.
Jen Buck
I first started using birth control as a 16-year-old teenager to help with migraines. There were added advantages that it helped clear up my acne and eased my menstrual cramps.
I was celibate until I was married at age 27, and I took contraceptives that entire time, not for the purpose of birth control.
Now that I am a married woman, I still use birth control because my husband and I feel convicted by God to adopt children. We believe there are more than enough children in the world that need a home, and we want to become parents through adoption rather than biologically.
I use birth control because I don't want to get pregnant. I'm 33 and have been married for six years, and I don't want to have a child right now—neither does my husband. We use birth-control methods that allow us to carefully and responsibly plan our family. For now, that family is planned for two people, and we're taking up both slots!
Heather R. Owens
Just a couple of days ago, a friend of mine put on her Facebook page a disturbing status about how women who are on birth control are all sluts. Little did she know I use birth control because my uterus is misshapen, causing it to have pockets where blood gets caught.
This makes my periods ten times worse than most women's. Birth control allows me to go about my life without being interrupted by three to five days of being completely bedridden.
Dianna Anderson
I am no longer on birth control for medical reasons (higher risk of clots in my family), but when I was on it, I used it because I didn't want to get pregnant while working full time, writing full time, and living as a single woman.
My insurance covered it (for a short time) with a $25 co-pay at Planned Parenthood.
I'm a virgin. On birth control.
As a 20-something single, I know I'm going against the norm, even as a Christian. Almost everyone my age has "done it" at least once. But I believe sex is best saved for marriage. I just have seen too many friends hurt and too many lives fall apart to seriously consider sleeping around. Plus, I actually live a pretty great life as an independent single woman and have no desire or plans to change that anytime soon.
So what's with the birth control? Last October, as the sweltering Southern summer faded into a cool autumn breeze, I noticed my friends were getting out their jackets and scarves. I was still burning in my short sleeves. As everyone else shivered in the winter, I started having shaking episodes at least once a day while feeling like I was in an oven. I was suddenly extremely sensitive to sugar and got so lightheaded that once I almost passed out after eating a few M&Ms.
After months of lab tests and doctors and "here, try this medicine and see if it works," I still had no diagnosis. I mentioned to my endocrinologist that I had also become really emotional lately. My anxiety was higher than ever and I was occasionally depressed. I would get angry at nothing or overwhelmed with nondescript emotions taking over my mind and heart. He suggested we try putting me on the Pill for a few months.
I never got an official diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome or anything. We eventually gave up trying to find a label for whatever causes these symptoms after testing everything he could. But I can say without a doubt that my life is better because I'm on the Pill.
The shaking episodes have stopped. The hot flashes (that never seemed to "flash" off) are greatly reduced. I'm no longer afraid of passing out in public. Best yet, I'm back to being in control of my emotions instead of drowning in them. I refused to believe the lie that these emotions were "just part of being a girl" or typical "female crazy" as stereotypes would have me believe. My boss, mentors and friends all remarked that this new moody irrationally paranoid girl wasn't the real me, the me they knew before last fall.
Thanks to the Pill, I'm me again. I can live a normal life. Well, normal for me anyway. I'm still a happily single 20-something virgin. Who happens to rely on the Pill to be healthy.
Neely Stansell-Simpson
I recently saw an article that said birth control can be purchased for as little as $9, so health insurance coverage for contraception should be a nonissue. However, not all birth control is the same, and women use birth control for a variety of different reasons.
When I was taking birth control to control ovarian cysts, I had to take a specific type, which was $60 out of pocket, $20 with insurance. $60 is a third of what I budget weekly for groceries. So I definitely want it covered by insurance, especially since I'd much rather take birth control for ovarian cysts than have an ovary removed or get a hysterectomy.
After my daughter was born, I began using an IUD because I was breast feeding, and breast feeding mothers can't use hormonal forms of birth control. An IUD costs $1,000 without insurance. Luckily, my insurance plan at the time covered IUDs. So, I only paid $500. I'm just sayin': this stuff is expensive, y'all! So is health insurance. You know what else is expensive? Babies.
Emmy Kegler
I had painful periods beginning almost immediately at menses at age 13. They got progressively worse, to the point at which (at age 16) the maximum dose of over-the-counter pain medication still couldn't give me relief. Two days a month, I was in immense pain, spending hours cramped up in the fetal position, curled around a hot pack, or soaking in a scalding bath -- trying to get some kind of relief.
I was on Vioxx (rofecoxib) and Tylenol 3 (with codeine), maxing out the daily dosages. I saw three specialists, all of whom were certain it was endometriosis, but after three separate exams, no evidence could be found. The final doc sent me back to my GP, who wrote a prescription for oral birth control -- "the pill", as I knew it then. After a few months, my periods were significantly reduced in pain; just an Advil could take care of the cramps and back pain for a whole day. I was amazed. I spent four years on the pill entirely to regulate that unmanageable pain, and I am so grateful for the doctors who made it possible.
Also, be sure to check out Ellen Painter Dollar's excellent piece, "How Having an (Insurance-Covered) IUD is Saving My Life," where she writes:
Because of my IUD, I hardly get periods anymore. This is convenient, but it's far more than that. My periods were horrible, painful, long, irregularly constant (as in, I would sometimes bleed all but three or four days a month), copious, clotty, hideous things. I am deeply grateful for the reproductive goings-on behind even my horrible periods, because they allowed me to conceive and carry three children. I am also deeply grateful to no longer have my vision narrow to a pinpoint in the throes of menstrual cramps or bleed out of my vagina more days of the month than not. (Sorry to be graphic, but I want you to understand from what sort of captivity I've been freed.)
More important, because of my IUD, I carry no anxiety about an unwanted pregnancy. My desire not to have another baby is not just because we have three beautiful kids and that feels like enough, just right. I don't want another baby because I'm convinced that carrying and giving birth to another baby would damage me, and secondarily our entire family, in deep, perhaps irreparable ways....read more.
If you are using, or have used, contraception, please feel free to share your stories in the comment section. If you haven't, maybe consider just listening for a while.

Vehicule Stability Control
Vehicule Stability Control
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic active safety system that helps the driver to stay in control of his vehicle during a critical manoeuvre.
Keeps you on the road
Keeps you on the road
VSC significantly reduces the risk of understeer, oversteer with jack-knifing, or roll-over of the vehicle combination.
VSC uses various sensors to continuously compare the driver's steering input (steering wheel angle) with the motion of the vehicle (wheel speed, yaw rate, lateral acceleration). As soon as a potential loss of control is detected, VSC cuts the engine throttle and brakes individual wheels to stabilise the driving conditions within the physical limits of the vehicle combination.A driver losing control of his vehicle may easily become involved in a serious accident. Injuries, media exposure, damage to vehicle and goods: the outcome for the transporter will only be negative. VSC is an effective instrument to lower the risk of such an accident.

"You can get somewhere in life by being like the people here," explained Desiree Settle, 13, a student at Lakeview Junior High School and member of Pheasant Run Girls Circle. Desiree was joined by two other Pheasant Run (Reynoldsburg) friends, Iman Cardwell, 12, also of Lakeview Junior, and Maya Gibson, 15, a Pickerington High School North student.
Homeport runs the Leadership events to create relationships and build communities. Leaders can help promote and participate in various events sponsored by Homeport within the rental development communities, from community garden programs to food drives to backpack distributions.
They also serve as a network to encourage residents to sign up for financial education courses provided for free by Homeport, and educate their neighbors about services and programs of added value and need, from Kindergarten readiness assessments to emergency utility payments.
Layden Hale, senior housing counselor for Homeport, reminded the audience of the value they bring to the process, noting the free financial service counseling would cost $150-$500 if provided by other organizations or individuals.
"We care. We Share. We bring it. That's what it is all about. You guys are the leaders in the community and are going to make my job easier (by promoting services available through Homeport)," Hale said at the program held Sept. 18 at Homeport headquarters, 562 E. Main Street in Columbus.
Participants were saluted by Homeport President/CEO Amy Klaben and Homeport Board members.
"You are resident leaders because you choose to be here," Klaben said. Klaben took special time to recognize the three young women from Pheasant Run for what she called a "micro-enterprise." Besides learning more about Homeport, they sold silk, felt and checkered fabric hair ribbons. For each ribbon purchased, one is donated to girls in a homeless shelter.
James Settle, Desiree's father, chose to participate as a leader of his Pheasant Run community, but also acknowledged it was exciting to participate "as part of developing a healthy relationship" with his children.
Joining him at the Leadership Institute event were his wife, Sharrion, Desiree, and three other of his children, Daijah, James and Shayla.

Too Hot, Too Cold, Too High, Too Low - Blame it on Dysautonomia!
- Many children and adults with mitochondrial disease complain of erratic symptoms that "don't make sense", such as heat intolerance, erratic blood pressure, dizziness, nausea, intermittent gut dysfunction, and more.
- These symptoms, while typically not life-threatening, are often the most troubling and affect a person's everyday quality of life the most.
- Dysautonomia describes an inability of the autonomic nervous system to regulate "typical" body functions, and is the cause of many of these troubling and confusing symptoms.

Too Hot, Too Cold, Too High, Too Low - Blame it on Dysautonomia!
Presented by: Richard G. Boles, MD; Medical Genetics, Children's Hospital Los Angeles; Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Keck School of Medicine at USC
Introduction Dr. Boles is a clinician and researcher dedicated to further discovery of treatments which will offer a better quality of life and a decrease in symptoms for children and adults suffering from mitochondrial functional disorders such as autism, cyclic vomiting syndrome and depression. The application of science and research for his patients is apparent in his role a Director of the Metabolic and Mitochondrial Disorders Clinic at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and director of a research laboratory in mitochondrial genomics as well as his leadership within organizations like CureMito.org.
His discussion focuses on the disturbing symptoms of dysautonomia, which, although usually not life-threatening, affect a person's daily quality of life in a profound manner. Dysautonomia describes an inability of the autonomic nervous system to regulate "typical" or "automatic" body functions, thus causing troubling symptoms like heat intolerance, erratic blood pressure, dizziness, nausea, and intermittent GI dysfunction. Dr. Boles is one of the few physicians specializing in functional disorders as they relate to mitochondrial disease.
Slides which accompany this discussion can be found on the link above and will be referred to throughout this summary. (www.mitoaction.org/blog/dysautonomia)
Dysautonomia The first few slides show the complex of symptoms that may be the result of dysautonomia. The first slide demonstrates the "pedigree" or matrilineal inheritance of many functional disorders in one particular family. The elephant slide also shows the many related functional mitochondrial disorders, such as cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) and migraines can be related to dysautonomia.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is that part of the nervous system which reacts to danger. It is alert and signals the body to "run away quickly," and it turns on various body systems immediately when it senses danger, high stress or crisis. When the danger has passed, it then gives the body the "all clear signal." The sympathetic nervous system is that part of the autonomic system which switches on for danger, and it reacts very quickly. The parasympathetic nervous system is the "off switch" and signals the body that the crisis is over and all can go back to normal. The slides demonstrate how all encompassing the autonomic system is; virtually every organ is innervated by an autonomic nerve. The sympathetic nerves come out mainly from the spinal area; they are fairly short and close to the organs they stimulate (a few inches in length). When they switch on, they do so quickly and the entire system is "on." The parasympathetic nerves, on the other hand, come out mainly from the brain (though a few do come out from the bottom of the spine) and travel much longer distances to the organs which they stimulate (several yards); they are quite slow to react and it takes a much longer time for the body's systems to "turn off." Typically, for people with mitochondrial disease, the sympathetic system works well, whereas the parasympathetic system does not - thus causing the various functional disorders we see.
Case Study 1 This case study of a 15 year old girl demonstrates this pheonomenon. She came to clinic with symptoms of cyclic vomiting syndrome, constipation and chronic fatigue. During vomiting episodes and viral infections, she could not read. Her ophthalmologist could find nothing wrong with her eyesight (including her optic nerves, eye structure, etc.) and her school blamed her symptoms on psychiatric illness. This teenager also preferred to always wear a hat - even indoors.
In truth, her symptoms were related to dysautonomia. When she became ill, her sympathetic system would turn on and thus she had strong peripheral vision (for seeing distances in case of danger her pupils dilated), but her parasympathetic system was very slow to respond and turn off so her eyes could not focus on near things (pupils did not constrict or accommodate for central vision) which is necessary for reading. Bright lights bothered her indoors as well. These symptoms make sense when you consider dysautonomia: her sympathetic system worked, but her parasympathetic system did not because of decreased mitochondrial function. She was in full "on" mode for much longer than necessary every time she became ill or was under stress. She could use reading glasses (even though her eyes were structurally normal), and sunglasses or hats to decrease the glare. Her issues were functional not structural.
Blood Vessels The next few slides show blood vessels, both arteries and veins. Most of the symptoms of dysautonomia come from the reactions of the blood vessels to signals from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. The arteries are depicted in red on the slides and the veins in blue. There are lots of muscles that are controlled by nerves which cause the arteries to constrict or dilate; the veins have fewer muscles. The arteries supply blood to organs so they are important in organ function.
POTS: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome is a condition associated with light headedness, fainting or dizziness when changing positions - especially from sitting or lying to standing. The arteries control the amount of blood going to the brain, and the blood has to travel further when one changes position from lying or sitting to standing. Usually, muscles in the legs and gut would constrict the blood vessels there so that more blood could travel to the brain - and this would be done very quickly. If it does not happen immediately, the individual gets light headed, can even faint, or (more common in adolescents) appears like a seizure. The heart beats faster in an attempt to get more blood pumped to the brain. All of this occurs because the signals to the muscles which in turn control the arteries do not work quite fast enough to adapt to the change.
Other related symptoms which we see with mitochondrial disease include changes in skin color, either redness and flushing or blueness and cold, because the blood vessels cannot react quickly enough to changes in temperature. The body's normal response to cold is to constrict blood vessels in the skin so that we don't lose too much heat. Likewise, when it is hot, the blood vessels dilate so we can lose heat. For many Mito patients, this does not happen quickly enough (the parasympathetic system is not working). Many patients appear to have "mottling", especially on the legs.
Pain syndromes also are related to this phenomenon. Too little blood flow to an area may stimulate pain fibers, while too much blood flow causes more pain (migraines). The body cannot function properly due to this manifestation of dysautonomia.
Case Study 2 A 14-year-old boy with mild dysautonomia symptoms (his sisters had many more symptoms) lost consciousness, preceded by nausea and dizziness. Paramedics were called and he was sent to the ER, then to the ICU. Later they found that he had not actually lost consciousness, he had heard them throughout, but he had been unable to talk during the episode. This was an extreme case of POTS. For unknown reasons, this appears to be more common in adolescents.
Treatment for POTS typically includes increased fluids and salt intake as a first line approach. Obviously, teaching the patient to remember to get up slowly when changing positions is necessary. Medications can be used in extreme cases (L-arginine is generally recommended).
CRPS Complex Regional Pain Syndrome This usually occurs after trauma to tissue or after surgery (any time there is damage to tissue). In this syndrome, the pain does not go away after the trauma, but rather gets worse in intensity. Other abnormal autonomic symptoms also may occur like discolored skin (hotter or colder than normal) and swelling. The slides show an injury to a 16 year old who was unable to walk because of pain until he received treatment. As difficult as it is, exercise and daily use of the affected limbs is a very important treatment. Even though there is significant pain, immobilization is counterproductive and can worsen CRPS. Giving IV fluids at the very onset is also important (10% dextrose with other electrolytes, also known as D-10 with lytes).
Cardiac effects Dysautonomia certainly effects cardiac function. With dysautonomia, patients may have both increased heart rate at times as well as decreased heart rates. Individuals with chest pain need to rule out cardiac causes, although chest pain is most commonly related to GERD (Gastric Esophogeal Reflux Disease) . GERD generally causes pain in the morning or when lying down, but does not include feelings of shortness of breath. People with GERD also do not typically have fainting (syncope). Nonetheless, it is important for Mitochondrial disease patients to undergo appropriate cardiac testing (often including an echocardiogram) to rule out structural problems as a cause of these symptoms.
Secretory Glands All the glands in the body are part of the autonomic system; they are told to turn on or off by its signals. Consequently, dysautonomia can show various symptoms. There can be too much sweat or not enough. Dry mouth or drooling might be another typical symptom, or dry eyes and/or too much tearing. In the GI system, diarrhea or constipation are common symptoms.
GI System The GI system seems to be the one most affected by dysautonomia in mitochondrialpatients. This should not be a surprise since the GI system has high-energy demands and is made up of many muscles, nerves and glands. Since the sympathetic system tells the GI tract to shut down (no time to eat - crisis is here - danger), digestion more or less stops, thus causing many symptoms common to mito patients. When the parasympathetic system comes on much later, then blood flow to GI tract increases and digestion is now allowed. Common symptoms include dysmotility - which actually means "bad movement" - so the gut is either moving too fast (resulting in diarrhea) or too slow (resulting in bloating and constipation). Dysmotility could occur at any level of the GI system: mouth, esophagus, stomach (delayed gastric emptying), small intestine (malabsorption), large intestine (irritable bowel).
GERD is fairly common in the general population (about 10- 20% of adults), but is almost universal in the Mito population. Clinical signs vary and can include heartburn, chronic nausea, allergies (acid refluxes into nose), asthma (acid refluxes into lungs); additionally, fatigue and lack of growth often occur in children with chronic reflux. The slides which accompany this summary show numerous ways to diagnose GERD as well as some treatments. Among the treatments is to be sure to not lie flat, but rather have head of bed elevated. Prilosec is also found to be an over the counter drug that works. Delayed gastric emptying and gastric paresis are related problems that often affect Mito patients as well.
Recommendations to treat these various GI problems include: eating small amounts of food throughout the day rather than three large meals, a low fat diet is tolerated better, and maintenance fluids (by mouth) throughout the day. Malabsorption can be another problem, but is harder to treat. If the small intestine is where food is absorbed and it is not working, there is not a lot we can do. Diarrhea and failure to thrive are sometimes related to malabsorption.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common problem among the general population. Chronic constipation alternating with diarrhea can occur. For Mito patients, the incidence of IBS is even higher than the general public. Clinically, IBS can be complicated to diagnosis when presented as chronic belly pain (with or without chronic diarrhea and constipation). Treatment for IBS often includes a healthy low fat diet and use of osmolytic laxatives (such as Miralax). This medication basically helps draw water into the bowel to prevent constipation. It does, however, cause dehydration, so care must be taken to keep well-hydrated. Miralax should be used by mito patients prophylactically - before constipation sets in. IBS can become serious if there is an obstruction. If vomiting occurs, it should be taken seriously.
SUMMARY: General Principles of Therapy for Mitochondrial Dysautonomia
- Decrease energy demand
- Increase energy supply
- Treat specific symptoms
- Avoid fasting
- Hydrate
- 3 small meals + 3 snacks a day
- Special care/caution with virus infections
- Exercise (exercise has been shown to increase mitochondrial function)
- Cofactors ("Mito cocktail")
- Medications (some psychotropic drugs have been shown to increase mitochondrial function) like amytriptiline, proton pump inhibitors

POTS (postural orthostatic
POTS (postural orthostatic hypotentsion)?
How sad you can't even get your information straight, POTS is Postural Orthostatic TACHYCARDIA. If you want to talk to Orthostatic Hypotentsion you should look at NCS (Neurocardiogenic Syncope) It's bad enough when 95% of the research only deals with the hypotentsive group, the true POTS patients are a minority in a rare disease. Doctors are so uninformed about dysautonomia as it is, this doesn't help at all. I expected better from mitoaction.
I'm sorry my morning post
THANK YOU, thank you thank
THANK YOU, thank you thank you Doctor Boles. The slides were really helpful and your explanations made the strangeness of dysautonomia so much clearer. Definitely a 5 star vote from me!
Thank you Dr. Boles for this
Thank you Dr. Boles for this teleconference. It was very informative, I learned a lot and have a much better understanding of my son's problems.
Dr Boles gets a HUGE GOLD
Dr Boles gets a HUGE GOLD STAR for his presentation. This was one of the best and most insightful and easy to follow teleconferences. I didn't make it live as I had my own severe dysautonomia last week and was in and out of the hospital with severe 'pseudo-obstruction' and other mitochondrial disease related problems. So when I did hear his presentation and slides ... it was 'right on the mark' ..
Blessings to you Cristy for continuing to make education, adovacacy and support for all of us such a delightful prioorty ... you never let us down. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!
Thank you is not enough Dr.
Thank you is not enough Dr. Boles for the information you have given me in this 1 Presentation alone. I am a 53 yr old woman who has had mitochondrial disease for over 10 years now and after listening to your information last night on my iPod, I feel that I finaly understand part of what is going on with me. I feel I will even better know how to explain it so I can get a doctor to understand how I feel on my bad days. I had a Dr. in Cleveland Clinic all these years until this past January and now maybe this will make it a lttle easier to start looking for a new Doctor to help with my Mito symptoms.
Thanks to Christy for holding these podcasts and all that you do.
Something to look into
Those with mitochondrial damage that is not one of the identified hereditary diseases should look through their medical records to see if they have ever taken fluoroquinolone antibiotics - cipro/ciprofloxacin, levaquin/levofloxacin, avelox/moxifloxacin or floxin/ofloxacin. These drugs do severe and long-lasting damage to mitochondria. Here are some articles about how fluoroquinolones damage mitochondria -
Even the FDA notes that mitochondrial destruction is the reason for peripheral neuropathy induced by fluoroquinolones - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzLMHZg5q0Y3VkVJUmhxSlQtbWs/edit?usp=sh...
Many people suffering from fluoroquinolone toxicity suffer from dysautonomia - among many symptoms.
For those suffering from mitochondrial destruction resulting from fluoroquinolones, there is hope. www.floxiehope.com for stories of healing.

While visiting my sister's family in Georgia last week, they took me to the quaint town of Savannah - not far from Hilton Head Island. It was smokin' hot (both the temperature and the town), and so much fun. We strolled through the park areas and brick pathways and came to a little store called The Paris Market.
I walked into the store and fell in love. The first floor was full of odds and ends of things, including a hutch storing all kinds of beach goods. I heart shells and sand dollars and sea stars etc...
Also on the first floor was a children's section full of vintage toys. I especially liked this little wooden wagon filled with lettered blocks. The lettered side had a pretty pattern and other sides of the blocks had pictures that started with the letter. Too cute.
I adored this sign that would be perfect for any family room/play room/bedroom. Perfect for families with kids.
After browsing the first floor, we made our way down to the lower level, and let me tell you, this is where the goods were stored. There was a lot of (expensive) furniture and home decor items. Some of it newer, most of it antique, all of it I wanted. And we walked around on a charming old brick floor.
I really wanted the coffee table pictured above. It's hard to tell in the pic, but the top is made of rustic wood planks and then it has an iron frame. I love that combo. I also love the chairs pictured above and below. The shape is sleek and with the neutral fabric, the chairs could be used in any room.
I loved all of the sepia-toned and black-and-white prints that were being sold. Too bad they were way out of my price league.
The basket below was one of my favorite items and one of the most affordable. It looks like a woven material but it's actually wire. The handle is situated so that you can hang the basket on a wall. I would have bought 2 if I could have found a way to fit them in my suitcase.
The store had a ton of kitchen items I loved too. From seeded glass to pretty pitchers, all the antiques were beautiful and in mint condish!
Below you can see a nice dedicated section to many items that were bird-related. It made me grin.
One of the last items my sister and I particularly loved was this gray hutch with tin door panels on the bottom. It was beautiful in person.
Alas, as most of these items cost a pretty penny, we walked out of the store empty-handed. But we had fun, and it doesn't cost anything to look!

"I have never dealt with a recruitment company who gave so much support. The consultant called me when they said they would, kept me informed all the way through the pre interview and interview stage and even after I was offered the position, they stayed in the loop - assisting in getting my start date. Before my interview, I was made fully aware of the job role, guided fully through the interview process and provided with all the information I would need for the interview. In fact, I hadn't been on an interview for some time and if it wasn't for Marshall Moore I would have been far more nervous than I was. I would always use Marshall Moore in the future and recommend them to others as whenever I needed to contact them I was dealt with in a friendly and professional manner. I was made to feel special. Once again, I would like to thank you."

What is My School My Choice?
We are an umbrella coalition made up of parents, teachers, public charter schools, public e-schools, choice advocacy groups, families and education leaders who care about the rights of all Ohio children and their families to choose the best school to meet their individual needs. We exist to give them a voice at the local, regional and state levels.
What We Believe
Supporters of My School, My Choice share a common understanding and commitment to our three principles of choice regarding public education:
- No child should be forced to attend a failing public school.
- All children should have the opportunity to attend a high-quality school in which they excel and grow, where learning is combined with personal attention for students and parents, and where education is tailored to meet students' individual needs.
- Traditional public schools are important, but are not the only approach to public education.
Our Goal
My School, My Choice started in 2007 when Governor Strickland attempted to eliminate key elements of parental choice. Then in 2009 the My School My Choice Statehouse rally of over 4500 was the turning point in the effort to again save parents' right to choose. The coalition will continue to be active, communicating ideas to policy makers and advocating for equal opportunity in education.
We want not only to protect parental choice in Ohio, but to advance it so that every child gets the best education possible.

first off all, i want to thank you for this wonderful Project.
Now my Problem
I want to connect/control the wdlxtv box from my Homematic CCU1 Server (thats a Home Automation System - switch Lights, power sockets and so on.
To control this stuff there is a nice Ipad Application (Casalive). They include a lot of stuff like my Onkyo Receiver, my Dreambox.
Now i want to connect all this things.
My Problem:
- The wdlxtv web-inface sends the command to /tmp/ir_injection over /var/www/addons/remote/index.php.
And in this index.php is a POST Variable - so i cant integrate the "button" value into the url.
Also this is on RO Filesystem .. so i cant change or integrate a new php programm that accepts values from url.
- The Homematic can not do a telnet, nor i found a binary for this very,very small Linux (some kind of busybox).
So i tried a javascript programm (running on the homematic) - doing a XMLHttpRequest - but this Method does not accept remote connection (i think a security issue)
So i have no clue what do to - the simplest way i think would be some php scripts.
wdlxtv is not open source -am i right ? - because i would have no fear to build a "new" version for me ...
Do you have any suggestions who to solve this issue ?
thx a lot
