The Beginners Guide To Attorneys (Chapter 1)
Learning Benefits of Lawyers
A lawyer is a person who practices application law to abstract legal theories and knowledge to solve specific individualized problems. The meaning of a lawyer is different from place to place. Therefore they have all the qualities to operate in any given court. Lawyers have too brief the court in writing on the issues in the case before the effects are argued out orally. The client-lawyer relationship mainly begins with an intake interview. You will learn that a lawyer will shape the client's expectations as to what actually can be performed and therefore begins to develop various claims or the defenses.
This is due to inadequate legal or representation in the court. It can be straightforward as seeking advice on some legal questions, or it can be as tricky and complicated as being represented in the court cases. A successful resolution of a case merely to win against the opponent, but it is more important that the situation is heard in the courtroom. First look at the soul, a good lawyer has self-respect, dignity and more integrity. So good quality lawyer competes with his weakness, not with the other lawyers. , In that case, you have to know if he updates knowledge through constant research. The measures of a good lawyer is not a matter of tracking record or fame or even the government connections.
Furthermore, you have to look at the lawyer's heart . Most people assume that any lawyer knows all sorts of legal issues and can handle any of the claims. Those that specialize in one or two types of cases become incredibly knowledgeable in those areas. This is to know how their experience was with the given lawyer. If these tips are applicable be sure of getting the best service . Hence, they may represent you in court, mediation problems ,family conflicts and any other legal proceedings where the law would be discussed.
In each and everything that we deal with our lives even the little decisions would always need a lawyer. On the other hand, your repair is another person's despair because in each case there is a winner and a loser. For instance, executing the wishes of a deceased . The a lawyer will, therefore, support the client in instructing her or him to record the properties with either the government or respective governing body to receive protection. From the interviews the lawyer will be able to gather evidence and formulate that to initiate legal action on the given situation. Moreover, the duty of a lawyer is to evaluate findings and try to develop the strategies . To add on this, the lawyer should be able to develop federal and state programs.

The All-Female '21 Jump Street' Desperately Needs These 7 Hollywood Ladies
If you're a comedy fan, you've likely seen (and loved) the amazingly hilarious 21 Jump Street movie, and the follow up — aptly titled 22 Jump Street — starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. The big screen adaptation of the popular '80s TV show was a major hit, and for good reason: it was REALLY good. And now it's about to get even better, because it's just been announced that an all-female version of 21 Jump Street is in the works and is being penned by the immensely talented Broad City writers Lucia Aniello and Paul Downs. Talk about a double whammy! I'm SO pumped, you guys.
This is all pretty new, with Tracking-Board reporting that the ink has only just dried on the contracts for this project, so there's not much in the way of serious details yet. But so what? I don't need to know the nitty gritty to start getting excited for what is sure to be an awesome all-female comedy. We've already got an all-lady Ghostbusters , and now 21 Jump Street? YAAAS, QUEEN! (See what I did there?)
Since nothing has been set in stone other than that a new 21 Jump Street is actually happening, that means we've got room to dream of the perfect cast. There are only two leading roles, but there are things called cameos and supporting roles that mean we can totally fill this sucker up with some amazing women. Who's ready? Let's do this!
Amy Poehler & Tina Fey
That's right, I'm counting Amy and Tina as one person, because they come as a pair, in my books. Of course, it's a total pipe dream to think they'd take on the starring roles in the 21 Jump Street remake, but imagine how AMAZING it would be if they did? The only thing funnier than Amy and Tina as themselves is Amy and Tina going undercover as high school students.
Ellie Kemper
We were all first exposed to Ellie Kemper's greatness on The Office, and now that she's starring in The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, her genius has become even more pronounced. Ellie could pull off the whole high school schtick with hilarious ease, and I'd love to see her take part in this movie.
Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock is an absolute comedy queen. Seriously, have you seen The Heat (among others)? SO GOOD. If anyone's a shoe-in for an all-female remake of a classic dude comedy, it's gotta be her, right?
Emma Stone
Emma Stone is a natural, and she's already done the whole high school comedy thing — albeit under different circumstances — so she'd fit right in here. Just imagine her trying to be totally cool and casual and totally not succeeding at staying undercover! It'd be amazing.
Jennifer Lawrence
Much like Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence has that endearing awkwardness that translates into a natural charm and hilariousness on and off screen. Maybe we should even pair the two of them up! They could be the new buddy comedy duo we never knew we needed! Oh man, I'm kind of a genius for coming up with that, right?
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is killing it on Veep (who am I kidding? She kills it in everything she does), but she needs more big screen comedy roles. I need her to do more big screen comedy roles. Imagine if she joined 21 Jump Street with Tina & Amy? Or even one of the two? Ah, my brain is about to explode from all the awesomeness.
Let's get this movie made!

Power-Hypertrophy Program
Back in early April, I finished my goals for cutting which was to drop back down to 10% BF and reset my bulk. During my previous attempt to gain muscle mass, I failed to change up my routine and ended up gaining just a shit load of fat. While the rate at which I bulked was spot on, failing to alter my workouts to hypertrophy was my downfall. So this time around, I wanted to get it right.
By recommendation from a lot of friends, I looked into a power-hypertrophy program. The ideal was to start workouts with strength-focused, compound movements in order to maintain and grow strength. Then, follow up with hypertrophy in order to promote muscle growth. By not choosing one or the other, you can get the benefits of a bodybuilding style workout while maintaining the advantages of a powerlifting-focused routine. In theory.
I scoured the web for a program, and there was virtually nothing available -- for free, at least. Fuck paying for it. After some time, I finally found one that had a lotttt of missing pieces. But, with the barebones, I read up on some additional theory and created a program. After three months and some excruciating work, I think it was a success -- of course, with some need improvements. Here's another download link if you actually decided to read this article. Yeah. It's free.
A few notes about logistics and implementation of the program spreadsheet:
- File > Download As... to make a copy of the program spreadsheet for yourself.
- It's a 6-day program with only 1 day of rest per week. If you can't handle, then feel free to drop Saturday's workout.
- Update only the PINK numbers and the spreadsheet should update the rest. Incrementing across weeks will differ depending on your gym's available equipment, so feel free to adjust those equations.
- This is NOT a beginner's program. This is intended for an intermediate lifter who has been lifting for 1/2 to 2 years such that their SBD is at least 185|275|315.
- Lift hard but be safe. Belts don't correct bad form.

Roles: Art Direction / Lead design
An interactive web-game, aimed at young children. The website walked through the steps involved in building and growing the Coco Seed Head kit, part of a promotion from Kellogg's. The site encouraged kids to learn through interaction, and 'gamified' the process of building and planting seeds in their kit, through fun and cute animations.
I worked on the initial art direction, followed by the leading full design and storyboarding of the game. Then worked closely with the development team to deliver the desktop only website, localised for launch in four key European markets.

A message from the President...
All of our volunteer destinations contain a common denominator. They are home to children and families who often lack basic needs like quality education, clean drinking water, and a chance to become upwardly mobile and self-sufficient.
I frequently hear "How did you get involved?" and "I want to travel but don't have anyone to travel with." Well now you do! Stop procrastinating and sign up! I can promise you wont regret it.
I am 28 years old and have been flying for more than 7 years. Growing up, my family traveled frequently instilling in me a sense of adventure and exploration. In these last 10 years I have covered 50 states, 70+ countries, and 6 continents. The first international trip I took alone was to Thailand where I left with $400 in my pocket and ended up staying for 2 weeks.
This group has inspired me in so many aspects of my life; I couldn't be more thrilled at the interest all of you have provided. My volunteering has always been focused on enriching the lives of those less fortunate. Recently I have become involved in the recognition and prevention of human trafficking, which I am excited to soon share with all of you.
Please join us on our next Airline Vigilantes trip. You will be joining a group of fun-seeking adventurers just like yourself. There is no better way to see the world and no better reward than making a difference in the lives of others.

A note from your Vice President...
I like cats, pizza, long walks through tiny towns in Europe, planning trips around the world, squealing at wild turtles, and spending vast amounts of time asking my garden why it wont grow.
I started volunteering at a young age through school programs and decided to take that passion into the real world. To date I have visited thirteen countries. My first volunteer trip was to the Elephant Nature Park in 2015 with Airline Vigilantes! I hope to do many more. Internationally volunteering is the perfect combination of two of my favorite things; travel and doing my best to make a difference in the world.

"Seeing the sunrise is a beautiful thing. For me it can mean one of three things - I'm at work doing what I love, I'm finding new things to love while travelling, or I've had a late night with people I love to surround myself with. Travel has always been an important part of my life thanks to my parents - particularly my father - who literally dragged me around the world. To the east. On purpose. In high school I had a bunch of wild stamps in my passport, meanwhile my peers had... I dunno, the big bulky first generation iPod? I got lucky, and the bug stayed with me. Jumping into a career in aviation was no accident, and with Airline Vigilantes I get to scratch the travel itch in a meaningful way and see the sunrise all three ways at once.
Greg is a pilot for United Airlines in San Francisco, California. He is also Airline Vigilantes' resident nerd and computer guy. If this website is broken, it's his fault. Greg has been around the world to the east twice (once on accident), and now celebrates his birthday two days early. Do not feed after midnight.
"I like going to the supermarket late at night. Somewhere around midnight to one in the morning. There are never any lines, you can take your time deciding what you want, and you meet people you'd otherwise miss in your day to day routine. Delivery people, sales clerks, back-stockers, and fellow midnight shoppers. Sure, there's a sense of isolation, and a feeling that what you're doing isn't normal, but sometimes it's worth it. One time, an elderly couple and I got into a conversation about oddly flavored soft drinks at a local Safeway. I recommended they try a peach flavored soda, and they recommended I try chocolate. When I got home, I drank my chocolate soda and realized I didn't like it very much, but was glad I tried it, and glad I met the elderly people who were also shopping shortly after midnight. Even though it takes place in America, I feel like this story explains why I like to travel."

For some reason we like to think that Valentines Day is the time of year when people are really looking for love. But that's apparently not the case.
The people at Match.com sifted through twenty years of data, trying to find the time of year when love is most likely to bloom.
Would you believe it's this Sunday, July 8th? #truth
In fact, if you're single, you'll be treated to a 20% increase in the number of people who sign up for online dating compared to Valentines Day. And, to make it more enticing, the number of people who actually communicate online will be going up, too.
We chatted about this on the radio show, and here's my theory: After getting together with friends during the holiday - for cookouts, lake parties, etc - a lot of people started comparing and contrasting, you know?
Or they went solo to the party and noticed that their friends were happy in love, so they are rolling up their sleeves this weekend to show they can snag a partner, too.
The survey also asked about the most popular summer activities. At the top of the list (in case you're hoping to connect with someone of similar tastes) were:
Going to sporting events
Wine tasting
Salsa dancing (what??)
Skydiving (oh come on)
Whitewater rafting
Hmm. Do you think people are just trying to seem like they have an exciting life?
Regardless, if you're into online dating, set aside an hour or so this Sunday and go fishing. It looks like they'll be biting.

I'm so mad at myself. I figured out how to make homemade potato chips in such an easy, head-smackingly simple way, I'm going to make them all the time and gain a million pounds. It all started when I thought about the shallow-frying technique I used to make pita chips and tortilla chips; why wouldn't that work for potato chips? Turns out it does, better than expected. If I wanted to, I could have a plateful of homemade chips in front of you in 15 minutes. Warning: this is a dangerous thing to know how to do. You'll never stop wanting to do it.
Killer Homemade Nachos
On Saturday morning, I woke up with a throbbing headache, totally dehydrated and desperate for coffee. That's always the sign of a successful Friday night (ours involved seeing "Blue Jasmine" so you know it was wild). A few hours later, feeling better, I was craving some greasy food to accompany my viewing of "It's Complicated" on Netflix. I remembered that I had corn tortillas in the refrigerator; what if I fried those up and made nachos? I immediately got to work.
Chicken Liver Toast & The Secret To A Good Chicken Salad
For as long as I've been roasting chickens (and I roast chickens all the time) I've been throwing away the liver that comes stuffed inside, along with the giblets, because–well–I don't know: am I supposed to cook and eat that thing?
Well, yes. I mean not all the time. But they don't put it in there to throw away, right? It's in there because a chicken died and one of its parts tastes very delicious if you know how to cook it the right way. In fact, cooked the right way a seared chicken liver competes with the pope's nose as one of the major treats afforded to you, alone, in the kitchen when you're cooking chicken. So here's what you need to do….
Hushpuppies (A Recipe)
I have a distinct memory of a spring day in New York, back when I lived in Park Slope, at Brooklyn Fish Camp. Craig and I were sitting outside at a picnic table with benches and under that warm blue sky, the first of its kind after a harsh winter, a waitress presented us with the basket of hush puppies that we ordered. I didn't know much about hush puppies; they just sounded good to me. And seeing them there in that basket–fluffy orbs of corn meal that had been deep-fried in oil–I suddenly felt the winter drop out from beneath me, and felt the heat of summer rising up at full blast.
Pickled Sugar Snap Peas
There's a very hip restaurant in my neighborhood called Joseph Leonard; you go there, and everyone else is either more attractive or more wealthy than you. There's a very cool bathroom with a medicine cabinet over the sink that has Q-tips, Altoids and tampons (I bet women wish more restaurant bathrooms had tampons; or maybe they do and that's just a secret between women and restaurants?) and on every table a little jar of cornichons. It's that little jar of cornichons (not the tampons) that I'd like to talk about today. It led to my own table decorating revelation, one involving sugar snap peas, garlic and lots of white wine vinegar.
Yogurt with Walnuts, Raisins, Honey & Mint
As a kid, I felt the same way about plain yogurt as I did about white crayons: why do these things exist? Who would eat plain yogurt? Who would color with a white crayon? What kind of sick, twisted soul would find these things appealing?
As an adult, I still feel the same way about the white crayon–Why does it exist? To color on black paper? Who has black paper?–but I've had a change of heart about plain yogurt. Especially now that I've discovered plain Greek yogurt, which is thick and rich and, when paired with other flavors, very satisfying as an afternoon snack.
Pimento Cheese
Growing up, I hated mayonnaise and I hated cheese. Strange for a kid, yes, but the cheese-hatred had some basis: my dad hated it, so we never had it in the house. And I became so conditioned to hating cheese, it took me years (and a cheese-loving boyfriend) to get over it. As for the mayo, that was entirely my own thing: nothing repulsed me more. The gummy, gooey whiteness mortified me; nothing could ruin a sandwich faster than spreading mayo on it first. I could abide it in coleslaw and tuna salad because I didn't see it go in, but a turkey sandwich with gloppy mayo on top? To this day, I'd say "no." So imagine how repulsed I'd be if, as a wee lass, you'd presented me with a Southern delicacy known as "pimento cheese"–cheddar cheese mixed with mayo and chopped up pimentos. I might've, to use an elegant verb from my childhood, hurled.
The Elvis Dog
Inspiration strikes at the strangest moments. Like Newton under the apple tree, you might be daydreaming about "The Golden Girls" episode where Dorothy's friend has a lesbian crush on Rose and BOOM–you've invented gravity!
Such was the case for me, last week, while grading student work in my Gotham Food Writing class: I had the sudden, inexplicable urge to stick a banana in a hot dog bun, schmear it with peanut butter, drizzle on honey and call it "The Elvis Dog." This was a great moment in human history.

In styling the 21' / 6.45m Speedboat, design engineer Ross Weene captured cues of classic speedboat and streamlined automotive design from the 30's-50's but focused on making her stand alone as an element of modern design. In short, the goal was to turn heads, to make people say "Wow".
The design began as a sketch Ross did in 2006 of a "Retro Runabout" that was a style continuation of an "organically sculpted" powerboat he experimented with at the Landing School in 2001. Associates Niall Rafferty and Antony Rushton of Custom Yacht Outfitters remarked at the sketch on our wall, and thought we should develop her more as a proposal for a tender for sloop Perseus3, a new build at Perini Navi. P3's owner accepted our proposal, and asked that a second tender be built with the same hull, but with open deck and cockpit as a "Utility / Crew Tender." Stewart Wiley and Ted Brown of Al Fresco Composites were chosen for the build, and "Constellation Custom Tenders" was born.
CNC milled molds let a designer translate very complex shapes from drawing board to production, with perfect accuracy – Mouldcam of Bristol, RI milled the molds 1.2m over-length, to allow a longer 7.7m "barrelback transom" version of the boat to be marketed. Carbon / foamcore construction was chosen for a high strength to weight ratio. The powerplant, an Allison gas turbine, powers an Americanjet drive. The turbine is supplemented by an electric drive for maneuvering and low speed cruising. A bridle system with single-point pick is used to hoist her in and out of service.
Constellation Custom Tenders offers both the Speedboat and the Utility for new build, in length range 6.45m – 7.7m. Powerplant options include conventional diesel, diesel turbine / electric hybrid, and dedicated electric drive.

Sephora Beauty Insider Appreciation Event Haul
The shopaholic is back because when you get 20% off at Sephora you take advantage of it. This is actually a different sale at Sephora, separate from their biannual sale that happens in April and November, because this is celebrating some new changes to the Beauty Insider program. The updates to the program can be seen here in red on Sephora's website. The sale goes through September 3 and Rouge get 20% with code YESROUGE, VIB get15% off starting today with code YESVIB and Insiders get10% off starting today as well with code YESINSIDER (all codes can only be used once online but in store multiple times). From my understanding this is an additional sale and will not be replacing the regular November sale but that's just what I've gathered from skimming through some Instagram comments so I could be wrong (but I hope I'm not). Normally I would say this is great time to buy some skincare and/or fragrances because those are typically some higher ticket items where you'll save more with the discount but I'm currently fully stocked in those departments so I stuck to bath & body, hair and of course, makeup. I haven't had a chance to actually try everything yet since I've only had it for a few days and had priorities for what to try first but I still wanted to show you everything I picked up in case there's something here you might be interested in. Let's get to the goods, shall we?
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian 4 Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel $25
I actually bought this and the following product at Dermstore during their recent 25% off sale but thought I would include them both here since they're also sold at Sephora and are definitely worth checking out (I was going to get them at Sepohra but then saw the Dermstore sale and it was a slightly larger discount so I took advantage of it). If you're a regular here you might remember me saying this was just a 'Meh' in my 2017 Beauty Recap because it wasn't moisturizing enough for my super dry skin but I've since found a moisturizer that works really well for me so I ran back to this body wash since it smells so damn good. I actually would recommend this if you want a really good smelling body wash because the smell is intoxicating and actually makes me enjoy taking a shower more. It is mildly hydrating but I just have super dry skin thanks to a medical condition so thank goodness I've found a lotion that actually keeps me from feeling like a raisin so I can use this again because I love it.
Prices with Discount: 20% off = $20, 15% off = $21.25, 10% off = $22.50
Sol de Janeiro Samba 2-Step Foot Fetish Care $27
My feet were looking extra dry this summer because I finally got to start wearing my Birkenstocks, after years of trying to break them in, so I thought I would try this from Sol de Janeiro since I knew it would smell good. And you know what, it does smell really good. It's the typical pistachio caramel scent from the brand and my feet are looking significantly better after giving them a good buff and lathering them up in the lotion so I can attest that it does actually work and is a good product. Would definitely recommend if you don't like minty foot creams (seriously though, why are they all mint scented?).
Prices with Discount: 20% off = $21.60, 15% off = $22.95, 10% off = $24.30
Biossance Squalane + Bamboo Deodorant $16
I was so, so excited to see this on Sephora because I have extremely sensitive underarms and since this is from a skincare brand that I know is good for sensitive skin I was hoping it would be the answer to my prayers. Sadly, it's not. The scent is a lighter version of Agent Nateur Holi(stick) No. 3 but isn't strong enough, at least for me, to cover up my body odor. Some deodorants work really well with your body's natural chemistry and some do not and for me this one does not. I found that I actually smelled worse after only three hours of having this on than I would if I hadn't applied anything and all I'd been doing for those few hours was sit in a chair while working on my computer. I've been using natural deodorants for as long as I can remember so it's not my body adjusting to natural deodorants either, this one sadly just did not work out for me. If anyone has any natural deodorant recs please let ya girl know! I'm currently using Native but it gives me a rash so I can't continue using it anymore and might go back to Agent Nateur once I finish my Native (I have to finish it even though my skin hates it because I don't want to waste any and it ain't cheap...plus the Lychee & Goji Berry scent does smells really good). Also worth mentioning because it annoys me that some people don't realize there's a difference and then get upset when they switch to a natural deodorant but still sweat; deodorants do just that, they help disguise odor but antiperspirants are what help control sweat so before switching to a natural deodorant keep in mind what you're currently using and what your lifestyle requires.
Prices with Discount: 20% off = $12.80, 15% off = $13.60, 10% off = $14.40
Sachajuan Leave In Conditioner $31
I bought this since I recently-ish went back to being blonde and my hair is a bit dryer from all the bleaching and is in need of some extra TLC. What drew me to this leave-in is that this particular formula is oil-free which is better for icy blondes since oils can pull blonde hair brassy and I am trying to prevent that. The fragrance is pretty strong, or maybe I just put a lot in, but I like it and would describe it as herbal/natural but with something spicy in the mix, patchouli if I'm not mistaken. This formula is also good for those with thinner hair, which I would qualify myself as, because it is super lightweight and won't weigh the hair down. I've only used this once and my hair has only been dry for a few hours after initial application but I can say that my hair does feel softer than it normally does, compared to when I don't put anything in it, but it doesn't feel heavy and my hair still has a lot of movement. So far so good and I look forward to seeing how it does with continued use.
Prices with Discount: 20% off = $24.80, 15% off = $26.35, 10% off = $27.90
Normally I'll only buy the white, nude or black beautyblenders because the colorful ones bleed a lot of dye and that drives me nuts but they are like that on purpose because it's supposed to help tell you when you need to replace it (if the dye quits bleeding when you wash it then it's time for a new one). Even though the dye bleeding drives me bonkers I had to pick this one up while it's still available because my favorite color is teal/aqua and I couldn't pass it up. I've tried quite a few different kinds of makeup sponges but the beautyblender, despite it's ridiculously high price tag, is still a top favorite of mine because the shape is just so damn good (I do love the Fenty sponge though for its bouncy-ness). I actually just ended up having to retire my old beautyblender and an Ofra sponge (another fave) because they were both starting to split and fall apart so I picked this one up just in the nick of time.
Prices with Discount: 20% off = $16, 15% off = $17, 10% off = $18
Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette – Coconut Fantasy Collection in Fantascene $49
I know, I know...like I really needed another eyeshadow palette but this one has been calling my name ever since it was released and I figured now was as good a time as ever to cave and try it since there's a discount. While this is technically a "warm" eyeshadow palette, which I generally hate because the trend is so overdone at this point and I hate yellow and orange eyeshadows, there's just something different about the tones in this palette that set it apart from all the other warm eyeshadow palettes on the market (namely it doesn't have any yellow or orange shades). I haven't gotten around to playing with it yet but I've heard excellent things about the formula in the Marc Jacobs eyeshadow palettes and am now even thinking about picking up the other one I want, Edgitorial, when I go in store to return the deodorant because I've been selling some stuff on Poshmark (one of which was an eyeshadow palette) and have saved up the money to now buy it as well. Fantascene, which is limited edition, has a 4.1/5 star rating on Sephora and the other Eye-Conic eyeshadow palettes have a collective 4.7/5 star rating so I don't think I'll be disappointed and can't wait to play with this palette.
Prices with Discount: 20% off = $39.20, 15% off = $41.65, 10% off = $44.10
Hourglass Scattered Light Glitter Eye Shadow in Aura $29
I actually own several other products that are on the market right now that I think are very similar to this, the Tarte Chrome Paint Shadow Pot, which I have in Fire Dancer, and Elcie Cosmetics Jewels of which I own in the shade Pearl. I haven't had time to try this out yet but some of my favorite YouTubers have been raving about them so I decided to pick one up and see if it's as good as the others (I haven't played with the Tarte one yet but my Elcie one gets used almost daily as an inner corner highlight). I was super torn on which shade to get, I also like Smoke which is a taupe, but I went with this one since it's a little more unique and will pair nicely with the Marc Jacobs Fantascene palette. I can't critique it much since I haven't tried it yet but I will say the packaging compared to the Tarte Chrome Paints and Elcie Jewels feels cheaper (the other two are the exact same packaging but with different colored lids). The Elcie and Tarte come in a glass jar that is bigger but the Hourglass packaging is plastic and is much smaller. Packaging isn't everything and having smaller packaging is better for storage and traveling purposes but Hourglass is $7 more than the other two but feels cheaper because of the packaging so to me the packaging doesn't match the price point with the standard that the other two similar products have set. I'm very passionate (re: snobby) about packaging, can you tell?
Prices with Discount: 20% off = $23.20, 15% off = $24.65, 10% off = $26.10
Nudestix Soft & Smokey Set by Melissa Alatorre $59 (sold out at Sephora)
This set is already valued at $154, all of Nudestix's pencil products cost $24 each, and then getting any sort of discount on top of that is an insane value so I jumped at the chance to try out several different shades and products from the brand. Plus, Melissa Alatorre is legit one of my favorite influencers and I want to support and show her some love because she is super talented and I personally love her makeup style. I am so shocked and pleasantly surprised by this set and I think Melissa did an amazing job at curating shades that work exceptionally well together. The following section has been updated: I wasn't going to talk about this product much here because I was planning on doing a separate blog post on it but I'm not happy with how one of the sets of images came out, you literally can't see any of the shades on my eyelids, and I don't have time to reshoot before I start working on the next posts so I'm just going to share the look that I do like on Instagram. As far as how they wear I have very oily eyelids and most cream eyeshadows crease on me within at least four hours but I was able to get nine hours wear time without any creasing when I used micellar water to clean my eyelids prior to makeup application. The lip pencils go on very creamy but settle down to a comfortable matte finish. I did find Raven, the darker lip pencil, to be a little on the streaky/patchy side but almost all lipsticks this shade are so I'll just use a lip liner with it next time. The set also includes a sharpener because these are not twist up pencils so you will have to sharpen them from time to time but for the way I use and apply them I find that I don't need a sharp point so I'll be able to go a while between sharpening - this is important to me because I hate sharpening pencils and find it to be slightly wasteful because you're loosing whatever product you sharpen off. Overall I am thoroughly impressed and would highly recommend this set. Ironically at the time of update this set has sold out on Sephora and has been removed from the website so I'm not sure if it's going to be restocked but you can still find it at Ulta and Nudestix (you can get 15% off with Melissa's affiliate code at Nudestix by using MELISSA at checkout which brings it down to $50.15).
This section has also been updated: I went into my local Sephora to exchange that dreadful deodorant and got the last Edgitorial palette in stock, a few Bite lip liners since they're on sale for $9 and picked up this volumizing hair powder from IGK because I wanted to have a product that adds volume but isn't necessarily a dry shampoo. I hope you enjoyed todays haul, I actually held back a little this time and didn't go too crazy since I'm hoping we'll still get the usual VIB sale in November but if not then I'm still really happy with what I did manage to scoop up. Be sure to keep an eye out on my Instagram if you want to see a look I created with the Nudestix x Melissa Alatoree collection to see what it looks like on a fair skin tone. Until next time... ❤

At least 350 different languages are spoken in homes across the country and tens of millions of people in the U.S. do not speak English well, according to new Census Bureau data.
In tables based on American Community Survey data collected from 2009 to 2013, the Census revealed more than 60 million people in the U.S. speak a language other than English at home, 25 million of whom speak English less than "very well."
More than 231 million people in the U.S. speak only English at home.
The top languages other than English spoken in U.S. homes include Spanish (with more than 37.4 million speakers), Chinese (with about 2.9 million speakers), French (with 1.3 million speakers), Korean (1.1 million), German (1.1 million), Vietnamese (1.4 million), Arabic (924,573), Tagalog (1.6 million), and Russian (879,434).
Within each language category the Census Bureau details how many people do not speak English well. Among Spanish speakers, for example, more than 16.3 million speak English less than "very well" as do 1.6 million Chinese speakers.
Large metro areas boast a wealth of language diversity, as the Census reveals. For example 192 different languages are spoken in New York metro area homes and 38 percent of the population over the age of five speaks a language other than English at home.
Additionally, more than half of the population of Los Angeles, 54 percent, speaks a language other than English at home and at least 185 languages are represented. More than half of Miami, 51 percent, also speaks a language other than English at home and 128 languages are spoken.
Other metro areas of distinction include Chicago where 29 percent of residents speak languages other than English at home and at least 153 languages are spoken. In Dallas 30 percent of the population speaks a non-English language at home, as does 37 percent of Houston, 26 percent of Washington, 23 percent of Boston, 40 percent of San Francisco, 40 percent of Riverside, Calif and 26 percent of Phoenix.
According to the Census, Tuesday's release represents the most comprehensive data on languages spoken in the U.S.
"While most of the U.S. population speaks only English at home or a handful of other languages like Spanish or Vietnamese, the American Community Survey reveals the wide-ranging language diversity of the United States," said Erik Vickstrom, a Census Bureau statistician.

Poor Documentation – The Reason Your Visits are Being Denied by Medicare/
While most documentation at FTS is thorough and compliant, the occasional mishap occurs when Medicare or private insurers deny payment because of poor documentation. The purpose of this post is to prevent those denials. Listed below are 11 elements that must be included in documentation and a few tips to improve compliance. These 11 elements are listed in Medicare denial letters and I do my best to describe the elements below.
Hint: Element #7 and #9 are the most common reasons FTS therapists are denied!
1. Reason for Referral
Make it clear in your documentation why the patient is being referred to home health and how the patient would benefit.
2. Diagnosis/condition being treated
The diagnosis must be stated in each visit documented. Occasionally, the diagnosis will not be included in the Zuum app which will require searching through the Patient tab of HCNet in the General Notes section. In Kinnser, select the patient's name under My Patients, then click View and Patient Profile. If the diagnosis is unclear, a specific PT or OT diagnosis needs to be stated i.e. upper/lower extremity weakness, impaired ability to transfer, decreased endurance with ambulation, pain with location, joint ROM deficits, dyspnea on exertion, etc. In HCNet, the diagnosis will automatically generate on the note once the SOC or Recert OASIS is in transmitted status. This can take up to a week after the SOC so if you are building from a previous note before the OASIS is transmitted, it will not automatically generate. Insert a new note from scratch and the diagnosis will be in the medical necessity and home bound review section.
3. Prior level of function (PLOF)
PLOF is the status of functional abilities prior to the condition causing the need for rehabilitation services. Including the patient's PLOF will strengthen documentation by addressing medical necessity. Good details to document on the patient's PLOF at evaluation include:
Ambulation distance, amount of assistance needed to ambulate, assistive device being used for ambulation
- How much assistance needed for each specific ADL
- The patient's ability to drive
- Living situation: home alone/with family, ALF, senior apartment complex, etc.
4. Evaluations must contain physical and cognitive baseline data necessary for assessing rehabilitation potential and measuring progress.
Physical baseline data at the time of evaluation can be described in objective tests, amount of assist needed with ADLs/IADLs, etc. These baseline physical measurements should be documented and compared to the patient's PLOF. If the current level of function is hindered compared to the prior level of function, this would be category to address in the plan of care and goals for the patient. Cognitive baseline data is addressed in checkboxes in HCNet and Kinnser and is a requirement for each visit documented.
5. Current level of function
The patient's current level of function should compare clearly to the documented PLOF. For example, a patient was previously able to ambulate community level distances of 500 feet independently. Now the patient's current level of function is 50 feet of ambulation with minimum assistance. Both should be documented, and in this scenario, gait training should be addressed in the patient's plan of care and goals.
6. Objective measurements such as strength, ROM, pain, ADL level, and edema
Every evaluation and reevaluation should include objective measurements. Good examples include: manual muscle tests, goniometry ROM measurements, TUG test, Tinetti test, Functional Reach, 30 second Sit to Stand Test, Berg Balance Test, distance of ambulation, edema grade etc. The amount of assistance with transfers, bed mobility, specific ADLs, gait training, etc. should also be included. Each test should consistently be performed at eval and each reeval to show progression or regression in that category.
7. ***Treatment techniques/modalities selected for treating current illness or injury***
Copy and pasting the same details from visit to visit is a very common reason for denial in regular and evaluation visits. In HCNet, this is most commonly done in the Medical Necessity and Home Bound Review portion when building from the previous note. The documentation in this box should include the details of a SOAP Note (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan). While the format of this box is left up to the discretion of the therapist, all four components of the SOAP note must be included. No portion of the SOAP note should be the same visit to visit. This website describes the SOAP note in more detail. https://www.physio-pedia.com/SOAP_Notes
8. Limitations which may influence the length of treatment
While the Medicare minimum requirement is 30 minutes for a billable visit, most agencies prefer the visit time to be 45-60 minutes. If the visit is shorter than 45 minutes, there should be documentation stating why. Some agencies have a specific minimum time-limit. This will be stated in red font on the Zumm app under Important Notes.
9. ***Short and long-term goals stated in objective measurable terms, and their expected date of accomplishment***
This is the most common reason for denial! Long-term goals (LTG) and short-term goals (STG) must be updated at every eval and reeval. The timeframe to achieve each goal must be documented in one of three types of measurements: number of visits, number of weeks, or an expected date of accomplishment. In order for a patient to be eligible for therapy, at least one LTG and one STG that is not met must be documented. Currently, it is required to document goals in two separate locations in HCNet. First, each eval must begin with selecting checkboxes for all orders, goals, and DC plans under the Assessment tab. The second location of documenting goals should occur in the Baseline/Reeval portion of the note and each should be typed out in its entirety. For this LTG and STG section in HCNet, it is required to state the expected date of accomplishment for each goal. The expected date of accomplishment must be updated at every reeval for each goal. If the patient is still progressing to an unmet goal at the time of reevaluation, please clarify by documenting something like "Ongoing – Not Met" next to that goal. If the goal is met, please document "Met" next to the goal. There must be at least one unmet LTG and STG for every reeval. LTGs and STGs can be added and/or adjusted to be more appropriate for the patient's POC at each reevaluation. Please clarify if the objectivity of a goal is adjusted by writing "MODIFIED" next to it. If all LTG and STG are met, the patient should be discharged.
10. Frequency and duration of therapy
Eval and reeval visits require documentation stating the frequency with the effective date. The frequency with the effective date should be documented in three locations for each eval and reeval visit. Those three locations include the documented note, a verbal order, and in the Zuum app.
11. Re-assessments must be performed at least every 30 days to be a qualified physical/occupational therapist. The 30-day clock begins with the first therapy's visit/assessment/measurement/documentation of the PT and/or OT.
The PT/OT must complete a reevaluation at least every 30 days. The supervising therapist and assistant must communicate for scheduling the 30-day reeval. This can easily be done in the Zuum app messaging feature. At the end of the 60-day certification period, a recert visit must be performed to continue seeing the patient into the next 60-day cert period. The recert visit must be completed within the last 5 days of the cert period. If it is not completed inside that 5-day window, a new eval must be documented for the first visit in the new cert period.
More recently, HHCCN & NOMNC signatures have become a requirement. Medicare is now denying payment when these are not completed properly. These forms are both in the patient's folder in their home. In HCNet, you can get a digital signature from the patient by clicking on the ESignature Forms.
HHCCN (Home Health Change of Care Notice)
The PT/PTA, OT/COTA, and ST are all required to get an HHCCN form completed and signed anytime the frequency is decreased or discontinued early. If a termination involves the end of all Medicare covered care and no further care is being delivered by the agency, the only notice issued would be a Notice of Medicare Non-coverage (NOMNC). Medicare requires a copy to be left in the patient's home. This must be collected even if the RN plans to continue to see the patient
- This form can be completed electronically in HCNet:
- From the home screen in HCNet, select "Add/Review Visit Notes"
- Search for the patient's name and select the appropriate one
- Select "ESignature Forms" – A blue tab on the right side of screen
- Scroll to bottom of screen and select "Create New HHCCN Form"
- Adjust date to the appropriate day of therapy; Fill out comment box under "Item/Services" with physical therapy services or home health services
- Select Sign and have the patient sign the box and click sign again to save the signature
- Select "Add/Save HHCCN Form"
- NOMNC (Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage)
The PT/PTA, OT/COTA or ST must get this form completed and signed 5 days before the patient is to be discharged from the agency. If that is not possible and doesn't happen then this form should be completed and signed at the discharge visit. This form should only be completed if the patient is being completely discharged from the agency and the RN nor any discipline does not plan to continue. Medicare requires a copy to be left in the patient's home.
- This can be done electronically in HCNet:
- From the home screen in HCNet, select "Add/Review Visit Notes"
- Search for the patient's name and select the appropriate one
- Select "ESignature Forms" – A blue tab on the right side of screen
- Scroll to bottom of screen and select "Create New NOMNC Form"
- Type Home Health Services or physical therapy, etc.
- Select Sign and have the patient sign the box and click sign again to save the signature
- Select "Add/Save NOMNC Form"
Reasons for Verbal Orders:
- Missed Visits – if there is a missed visit during the week, please insert VO to explain why it was missed
- Vital Signs outside of normal parameters – In HCNet, this will be completed automatically once the note is submit complete. Please leave a message with the referring physician to notify what the vital signs were. A call to the agency is not necessary unless specified in Zuum.
- New frequency or any change in frequency – A VO with the frequency and effective date must be entered at any initial eval, recert, or reeval where there is a frequency change.
- Discharge, Non-Admit and Eval Only – A DC visit or non-billable DC must have a VO stating why the DC occurred. Non-Admitting a patient means an evaluation was not completed and it is non-billable which requires a VO. An Eval Only visit means an evaluation was completed and the patient is not appropriate to continue which is a billable visit and must have a VO stating why the patient will not be seen.
Please review the Therapist Training Manual on the FTS website if you need further clarification on any of these items. The Manual can be found on the FTS website under forms: https://www.foremantherapyservices.com/therapistforms/. The training videos are also great to revisit when questions come up: https://www.foremantherapyservices.com/trainingvideos/. I hope all this information allows us to keep our documentation compliant and gives us a better understanding on why Medicare would deny payment for any inadequate documentation. We want to do our best to keep our agencies and patients happy!

Garden Tuesday: Snow
Actually, it was 40 degrees here yesterday, and a lot of the snow on the ground melted. Naturally, the plow guy made a big heap at the side of the driveway.
The boys just tromped through the snow, without bothering to shovel. Well, it's not MY feet that are cold.
A closer look at human and critter tracks.
We fared much better than locations as close as 50 miles from here, though. I'm not unhappy!
Happy Tuesday, everyone!

It was supposed to be in the 60s here yesterday. We didn't make it. Snow again tomorrow... probably less than what you show there.
Weird weather!!

It's been 60s here for several days. The weather dude promised us snow tonight, but he's already changed it from 4 inches to just one inch. We probably won't get any at all. Bummer!

Love your outdoor pics - your property looks lovely in all seasons :-)
We had a big thaw in January and a lot melted - then in way of weather, we got MORE. It's hovering about 0° most of this week so it's melting. I can't wait til spring !

I thought of you when I watched a little of Westminster. It was great seeing some of the big guys do their thing. I was a little sad the giant St Bernard didn't make it (180 lbs and travels with ice and 3 fans) but a younger man took the prize. Great Neopolitan mastiffs though. Missed the English Mastiffs. Hope your snow is doing well... it does look pretty.

Five Nutrition Strategies for Long-Distance Travel
Long-distance travel for competition can wreak havoc on your body. From less than healthy food options and over-indulging, to cramped seats and chatty passengers, your nutrition choices can ready you for performance or it can undermine all your hard work. Food, drink, sleep and keeping all muscles at the ready are the areas that will make or break your performance on race day. Focus on these, and you will be ready to go when you get to your destination.
Food is Your Friend
No matter how far you travel, or the mode, having your own food will ensure you eat the right things and don't go hungry. Bring it with you. If you rely on the flight provisions, you will be relegated to small servings of peanuts, pretzels or crackers, which won't be adequate. On the other hand, with food on hand, don't make the mistake of grazing all the way to your destination, as this can result in overeating. If an energy-dense diet is your angle, bring along energy bars, trail mix or whole grain cookies. If low-calorie is the plan, make sure to have plenty of fruits and veggies on hand. Try to eat at usual times and bring along activities to prevent boredom like a deck of cards, a book, movies or music.
Food can be your enemy if it spoils. Keep food safe by chilling foods in a small igloo or lunch pack. Or, freeze food ahead of time and make sure to eat it first. If meals are available on a long flight, choose the carbohydrate-rich vegetarian option, which will likely be a rice or pasta-based meal. You may need to request this ahead of time, so double check with the airline. If travel is by bus, the food options may be limited to fast food establishments. In this case, opt for whole grain breads, salads with protein, hearty soups and breakfast options with eggs, potatoes or breads.
Stay on Top of Fluid
Flying is naturally dehydrating. The humidity on an airplane can be 10-15%, which encourages more water evaporation from your skin and lungs. This type of dehydration is subtle and may cause headaches or constipation. Water is by far your best option for a beverage, along with an occasional 100% fruit juice or a sports drink. Drink at least a cup of fluid each hour. Bring your own water bottle and ask for a refill from the flight attendant as needed. Remember to go through security with an empty water bottle and purchase water near your gate.
Avoid Painful Muscle Cramps
Rowers may feel cramped on a plane flight, as the seats are compacted together and legroom is at a minimum. It is also difficult to get up and move around. Get an aisle seat if possible and make sure to store extra baggage overhead to optimize legroom. Get up and walk around and stretch every hour or so to minimize cramping and encourage blood flow. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids because dehydration is one of the top reasons for muscle cramps. If you experience cramping, be sure to drink more fluids with electrolytes from a sports drink, or drink water and eat salty carbohydrates like pretzels or crackers.
Cut Constipation
Everybody's "system" is different, but long distance travel can mess up anyone's regularity. It's a drag to feel bloated, have gas and not be able to "go." Part of this is due to dehydration, eating the wrong foods and immobility on a long trip. The antidote: eat high-fiber foods (fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and beans) and keep up with fluids. If you do become constipated, try some natural remedies such as prunes or prune juice, apricot or pear nectar, or celery. Be sure to move around and drink plenty of fluids.
Get Some Sleep
Sleeping on a plane can be very challenging. The excitement (or stress) of traveling, odd positioning for sleep and the noise of others around you can keep you awake. But you will be better off in terms of adjusting your body clock to the new time zone at your destination if you can get some. Use noise-reducing ear plugs, eye covers and a pillow. These will help you fall and stay asleep. Eat a high-carbohydrate snack like a granola bar before snoozing to increase brain serotonin, which will help you sleep.
These strategies will help you be ready to compete at your destination, no matter far you have to travel. With a little forethought and planning, you can journey with confidence!

There's no denying that there is a certain emptiness to the conference finals this year after the flameouts of the Rangers in the first round and the Islanders in the second round.
As the schedule reached the home stretch of the regular season, it seemed like both of these teams might be in a position to pull off what the Pittsburgh Penguins have actually accomplished this spring.
The Pens were matched up with the Presidents' Trophy-winning Washington Capitals in the second round after overpowering the Rangers in five games in the opener. They dictated the pace against the Capitals throughout the series, and deservedly won the series in six games.
Mike Sullivan, a name very familiar to Rangers fans because of his stint as an assistant coach with the Blueshirts from 2009-2013, deserves quite a bit of credit. When he took over behind the Penguins' bench this season, the Penguins were a tired, underachieving team filled with question marks.
Suddenly, they turned it on. The pundits tell us that the Penguins have suddenly turned on the speed, and that's why they have been able to roll since early March. But that's not the full story. They are playing well in all aspects of the game, including the board battles and the defensive aspects that eluded Sidney Crosby & Co. in the past.
Here's one other factor working in the Penguins' favor: Young goalie Matt Murray has been playing sensational hockey and has made the most of his opportunity. That means that No. 1 goalie Marc-Andre Fleury (concussion) has been on the bench.
Fleury has a lot of supporters, but his record in the Stanley Cup playoffs has been quite unsettling. Fleury had a four-year postseason run from 2010 to 2013 that ranged between awful and ordinary, and keeping Murray between the pipes may be the key to their Eastern Conference finals with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Fleury is healthy once again, so Sullivan will likely have a difficult decision on his hands throughout the series.
While it appeared the Islanders had a good chance to win the series after taking the opener in Tampa, the Lightning responded with back-to-back overtime wins in Brooklyn that ruined Jack Capuano's team.
The Lightning have put together an 8-2 record in the postseason, and the feeling is that they have not truly been tested. Of course, they have been playing without Steven Stamkos (blood clot) and Anton Stralman (fractured fibula), and that speaks to their depth.
Stralman could be back for the series opener Friday night, and that would be a huge plus for the Lightning. This is a team that registered a Game 7 shutout win over the Rangers last year to keep them from getting to a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final, and the inspiration of losing in last year's Final to the Blackhawks should be enough to allow them to turn this into a seven-game series.
However, as long as the Penguins don't get ruined by the return of Fleury to the nets, they will come away with the series win and make it to the Stanley Cup Final.
The Western Conference matchup between the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks will be must-see hockey for all fans who love the sport, and not just the local teams.
Both of these teams have overcome substantial demons and years of disappointment to win two rounds of the playoffs, and the belief here is that the team that emerges from this series is going to have an excellent chance of winning the Stanley Cup for the first time in their history.
The Blues grew tremendously by beating the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks in the first round, and then won three out of four road games against the Dallas Stars to emerge from the second round.
The Blues have tremendous depth and a commitment to defense, and those two factors were the primary reasons they were able to outlast the Stars in seven games.
Vladimir Tarasenko, Jaden Schwartz, Robby Fabbri and David Backes are all performing well in the postseason, but look for Troy Brouwer to step up at the key moments and score the most important goals.
The Sharks have long been thought of as significant chokers throughout their history, and they played in recent years as if they knew something awful would happen to them in the postseason every year.
That thought process played out until last year, when the Sharks didn't even make the playoffs. That brought about the hiring of Peter DeBoer, and the Sharks have a new energy and optimism.
While they struggled at home during the regular season, they have been stellar at "the Shark Tank" in the postseason with a 5-1 record. They have received stellar performances from Brent Burns, Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski, and even noted playoff underachiever Joe Thornton has performed well.
Both teams are big, fast, physical and hot, and this should be a brilliant series.
Give a slight edge to the Blues because goalie Brian Elliott has been on top of his game throughout the playoffs, while Martin Jones has been just a shade behind for the Sharks.
There is a tendency to think about what might have been with the Rangers and Islanders, but both conference finals have compelling aspects that need to be appreciated by real hockey fans.

EC students learn the art of fine dining
On Wednesday, Oct. 5, around 45 professionally dressed students filled the Prospect room in Founders for "Which Fork Do I Use?" an annual event where students learn dining etiquette all while enjoying a complimentary meal.
The event hosted by the Center for professional Excellence (CPE) is designed to teach students how to avoid social blunders while dining in a business setting. To do this, the CPE brought in professional business consultant Patricia Cook.
Cook believes that in today's competitive job market you need to be the best, look the best and do the best, and this starts with making a good first impression. She said that you only have about seven seconds to make a strong first impression. She further expressed her dismay with gum chewers, teeth pickers, and over-sharers and she strongly believes in a firm handshake.
"I got six bad handshakes earlier this evening," she said. "Keep your thumbs up. A weak handshake makes you look like you have no self-confidence."
As the evening progressed, students learned many other important tips to use when dining out. Cook encouraged students not to be overwhelmed by a confusing place setting, but to work from the outside in and to watch those around them.
As the students enjoyed their dinner — which consisted of soup, salad, Chicken Marsala, and a cannoli for dessert — Cook continued to give them pointers to help avoid embarrassment in the future such as keeping your napkin in your lap instead of using it as a bib and setting it down on your chair if you have to leave the table.
Even chewing matters when it comes to dining etiquette. Take smaller bites than you normally would, for as Cook pointed out, "the whole cow doesn't need to fit in all at once," meaning that no one looks professional when they have a mouth full of food.
Although the event did cover many traditional etiquette practices, such as passing food to the right around the table, Cook shared some more modern etiquette practices regarding gender etiquette.
A firm believer that today's society is gender neutral, Cook explained that as a man you do not have to pull out a woman's chair and that it is perfectly acceptable for a woman to hold the door for a man.
Rafiya Dadar, a senior who attended the event found it both enjoyable and enlightening.
"The dinner retaught many aspects [of dining etiquette] that are often forgotten, and these skills will definitely place me ahead of the game in any setting."

Why won't cats use the litterbox? There are several reasons that we will tell you in this article. We will also give you solutions to help you solve your litter box problems.
Litter box avoidance and inappropriate elimination (urinating outside the litter box) are the most frequent and irritating disagreements humans have with their kitties.
Inappropriate urination and defecation may mean that the litter box facilities are sub-par, that there's a medical problem or, in the case of marking behavior, that your cat is trying to signal something.
Cats use elimination of urine (and sometimes feces) for communication – a kind of pee-mail if you will. That can be a sign that something is wrong. In the latter situation, your kitty is not mean or spiteful. She's got a problem and you'll have to figure out what it is if you want it to go away.
Punishing your cat for inappropriate elimination will not solve the problem. It will only teach her to fear and avoid you and eliminate when you're not around. In fact, it can actually make the problem worse, since inappropriate elimination is often caused by stress, and punishment will only add to her stress level.
What Should You Do if Your Cat Doesn't' Use the Litter Box?
When your cat eliminates outside the box, you should first schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease(FLUTD), a group of disorders and diseases affecting the urinary tract, and colon disorders, such as irritable bowel disease, can cause inappropriate elimination.
Symptoms of FLUTD include frequent voiding, straining at the end of urination, and blood in the urine. If your cat shows any of these signs, schedule an appointment immediately. Both males and females are at risk, but males are more likely to develop life-threatening blockages. If your cat strains to urinate and only produces a tiny amount of urine, rush him to the veterinarian. This is a life-threatening emergency.
Once your veterinarian rules out a physical problem, then you should start to unravel the problem by looking at what's going on in your cat's life. Watch carefully and find out when and where she is eliminating inappropriately, and what's happening in the household at the time.
Recognizing the reasons for litter box avoidance and addressing the cause will help you find a solution to the problem. With understanding, patience, and persistence, most such problems can be overcome.
Here are the top eight reasons cats won't use the litter box with some helpful solutions:
8 Common Reasons Cat's Won't Use the LitterBox
1. Dirty Litter Box
A common reason for litter box avoidance is the cat's natural cleanliness. If you think the box smells bad, just imagine how it smells to your cat, since she has 200 million odor-sensitive cells in her nose compared to your 5 million. If she is turning up her nose at the box and eliminating elsewhere, it could be that it's not clean enough and offends her sensitive olfactory apparatus. In the wild, there's a good reason for such fastidiousness. Predators locate prey by scent. This is one good reason why cats are so careful about covering their waste – to keep bigger predators from locating them. A dirty litter box can make your cat feel vulnerable.
Clean the box often. Scoop out the soiled litter and solid wastes daily or twice a day, and change the litter and scrub the box with warm, soapy water weekly if you are using regular clay litter. Don't use harsh cleaners, such as bleach, to clean the box; they may offend your cat's delicate sense of smell further and add to the problem.
Some cats are simply fussier than others, so a weekly scrubbing might not be enough. If so, you might try a clumping litter. With clumping litters, the litter needs changing less frequently and still remains relatively odor free. By scooping out the clumps and solid wastes once or twice a day, depending upon the number of cats you have, you can make all but the most sensitive cats happy. Ultimately, you and your cat will have to reach an agreement on the cleaning frequency.
2. Placement
Location is also vital. If your cat doesn't like the litter box's location, she may not use it. For example, if you place the litter box too close to her food and water dishes, she may avoid the box since cats don't like to eat and eliminate in the same area. If the box isn't easily accessible – for example, down in the basement or up on the top floor – she may not be able to get there in time or may think it's too much trouble. If she has to brave some stressor to get to the box, such as a noisy water heater, the washer, and dryer, or a dominant cat's territory, she may look for a safer place to eliminate. Cats like quiet, safe, private places to do what they have to do. Follow your cat and observe what's going on.

World Food Day and the Fiesta de Marisco
16 Oct, 2012, 19:00 BST
LONDON, October 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
• Annual World Food Day taking place on 16 October
• Spain celebrate food in same month with Fiesta de la Exaltación del Marisco
• Thomas Cook offer range of great holidays for cultural travellers
One of the great things about having the opportunity to visit different countries on your holidays is the chance to try out all the new tastes and flavours that are offered by the wide range of cuisine you will find whilst there.
The food industry is a large part of the appeal of many different cultures and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) celebrates this with an annual World Food Day - which takes place on 16 October this year.
The official World Food Day theme changes annually and this time round will highlight the splendour of different styles of cooking and ingredients whilst increasing awareness of the shocking statistics that still exist regarding world hunger.
One of the aims of World Food Day is to improve food security and contribute to the eradication of hunger around the world. Although this is still a major problem across the continent of Africa, it is something that can rear its head all over the planet; whether due to manmade wars or natural disasters such as earthquakes and droughts.
Although World Food Day is about awareness of problems, it's also a celebration of the diversity of global cuisine and presents some great opportunities for those taking their holidays around the time it takes place.
Thomas Cook offer range of holiday options
Package holidays to Spain are extremely popular with travellers and holidaymakers, thanks in no small part to the attraction of the Mediterranean diet. Different regions in the country offer different specialities and local variations on popular dishes, making Spain a great holiday option for those looking to celebrate food.
With a diet based on fresh ingredients and plenty of fish, the Fiesta de la Exaltación del Marisco (Fiesta in Honour of Seafood) is held in October in the town of O'Grove on the coast of Galicia and celebrates the region's unique relationship with food from the sea.
The Fiesta sees fish and shellfish being prepared in traditional ways by locals and then sold at fantastic low prices. The event attracts visitors in their thousands and other elements include dance displays, music, competitions and sports events.
Of course, it isn't only Spain that has a strong reputation for the diversity and quality of seafood used in its cooking. Cheap Portugal holidays give everybody the chance to experience the unique mix of Mediterranean and Atlantic coast culture which impacts greatly on the types of seafood available and the way they are incorporated in the cuisine. Cheap holidays to Algarve are a particularly good choice for any seafood lovers.
