People usually go for chemical medicine to treat their cysts. Perhaps because not many people know that there's actually an effective natural remedy to make cyst disappear. Here you will find a natural remedy for ovarian and kidney cysts. These ingredient has been known for its ability to strengthen immunity after treatment of serious illnesses.
The two ingredient we talked about before are leaves from spelt (triticum spelta) and healing green juice from sprouts. First, let's talk about the grain first.
Spelt is a grain originally comes from southern Asia. This grain was spread to Middle East 9000 years ago and then started to spread to the whole Europe. After used for centuries, the use stop and only utilize to feed top race horses.
Nowadays, this grains is used in many placed, mainly for the reason because people who are allergic to wheat are not allergic to spelt. However, this grain still contains glutens, though in a relatively smaller amount compare to other grain. Still, people who are allergic to gluten are not recommended to consume this spelt.
Spelt taste delicious and has a nutty flavor. This grains has a thick membrane that protect it from insect and pesticides as well as other toxic substances. Spelt's ability to strengthen immune system is much attributed to this thick membrane.
So how do spelt become a natural remedy and dissolve cysts on kidney and ovaries? Spelt contain some important substances that can fight cancer cell, including chlorophyll and vitamin B17.
Chlorophyll in Spelt boost oxygen level in the blood and prevent the growth of cancer cells. Dr. Otto Warburg who won Nobel Prize in 1931 was the one who discover this substance and unveil their benefit to fight cancer.
Spelt also contains wonderful juice with more than 300 enzymes. One of those enzymes are very rare and only exist in our body after birth. Over time, due to various factors such as stress, diet and toxins we only left with small amount of them in the liver. However, drinking this beverage will reproduce the enzyme and strengthen your body.
Another substance you can find in Spelt is B17 that has the ability to destroy cancer cells. To take the benefit of consuming this drink, you have to consume it fresh or while frozen. Drink it early in the morning before you consume anything.
So here's the recipe:
- Take young green leave, grind the leaves and squeeze the juice. Pour the juices into ice cubes and put them in the freezer.
- Take one of the cubes in the morning and place it in a glass. Wait until it melts and drink immediately. This drink contain a lot of minerals, vitamins, amino acid and many other beneficial substance.
- You will start to feel better after drinking this beverage for less than a month.

Open Season: How Can Makers of Biologic Drugs Navigate the Current Political Climate?
Politicians have never been shy about picking targets upon which to build platforms or make their pet issues. Unfortunately, due to rising healthcare costs and the public perception of drug prices, the pharmaceutical industry has become an easy target. The pressure upon lawmakers to do something has become enough that even presidential hopefuls who have traditionally supported the pharmaceutical industry have taken to attacking manufacturers of biologic drugs and other medical therapies. It is perhaps not the most surprising turn of events, but the added attention puts companies in an awkward position.
To further complicate matters, legislators aren't waiting until after the upcoming Presidential election to take action. The future of the Trans-Pacific Partnership remains uncertain1, but Congressional committees are ramping up industry oversight. Both the House and Senate has dedicated resources toward investigating pricing practices and taking action to curtail rising costs.2 The increased scrutiny has cast a shadow over recent successes of the pharmaceutical industry—namely that we've seen the accelerated development of major new therapies. In 2014, the FDA approved 41 new drugs, 10 of which were biologic drugs.
A Hostile Political Climate Means Makers of Biologic Drugs Need to Justify Costs to Sway Public Opinion
With the spotlight shining on the prices of new drugs, life sciences organizations will need to be even more scrupulous in their R&D efforts. By focusing on the ability to maintain streamlined and efficient release cycles, they can support more market-ready products given regulatory approval and thereby demonstrate good faith to lawmakers.
While makers of biologic drugs should do their best to curtail rising costs without sacrificing margins, their primary aim needs to remain upon developing innovative, life-saving drugs. In recent years, we've seen the FDA approve groundbreaking biopharmaceuticals geared toward improving the quality of life for various patient demographics. They need to carry on that legacy into the future, continuing their role as the central drivers of discovering and developing new treatments. By concentrating on therapies deemed necessary in the public eye, life sciences companies can bolster their market standing and improve their reputations, which can help justify R&D costs as unavoidable and acceptable. Since political pressure is often the result of public opinion, currying favor from the general populace can pave the way for a future more favorable toward the pharmaceutical industry. Presently, smaller biopharmaceutical companies are driving this movement, but larger organizations should not allow themselves to be left behind. They can follow their competitors' example by diversifying their catalog of biologic drugs during the R&D phases.
In addition to drug pricing, legislators and regulatory bodies are also turning their eye upon manufacturing practices. As their interest grows, life sciences organizations will need to ensure they've implemented solutions that support the development and manufacturing of biologic drugs with clear quality guidelines. Not only that, their efforts must remain compliant with regulatory guidelines via periodic review. After all, a large part of scrupulous practice consists of the ability to report the necessary metrics, to prove that all requirements are being followed in the first place.
No matter the result, the next few years are sure to be an interesting period in U.S. political history. To weather the storm, life sciences companies that specialize in developing biologics drugs and other pharmaceuticals will need to make sure they remain steadfast in the face of a highly critical public that has made them into an easy target for politicians jockeying for advantage. One way to do that is by ramping up efforts to be streamlined, efficient, and scrupulous in their R&D practices.
The BIOVIA Biologics Solution is a comprehensive set of tools developed to support life sciences organizations in the discovery and manufacturing of biologic drugs. Through a common platform, the solution optimizes both the development of biotherapeutic candidates and the overall workflow surrounding the release cycle. Its capabilities support various crucial tasks such as data management and analysis of quality metrics, which contribute to boosted efficiency and innovation. If your life sciences organization is interested in adopting an integrated solution to help its R&D efforts, please contact us today to learn more.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. — Devon Spika, a Whitman College sophomore and the only Nordic skier from the western U.S. to qualify for the NCAA national championships the past two years, has been voted to ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-District At-Large team.
Spika is one 11 student athletes named to the women's At-Large Team in the College Division of District VIII. The district includes all NCAA Div. II/Div. III and NAIA schools in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii, California, Utah, Nevada and Arizona, as well as British Columbia.
The At-Large teams represent student athletes in a variety of sports, including golf, skiing, gymnastics, ice hockey, swimming, lacrosse and tennis.
Players on All-District At-Large teams from around the nation are now eligible for election to the Academic All-America teams. That voting takes place in early June. The College Sports Information Directors of America (Co-SIDA) administers the Academic All-America program, which is in its 57th year and has honored more than 14,000 students at all levels for all recognized NCAA sports.
Spika, who is majoring in economics at Whitman, was named to the women's All-District team in her first year of eligibility. She finished ninth in the freestyle at the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association's West Region championships in late February, after having placed as high as seventh in freestyle races during the regular season.
Competing in March against an international field at the NCAA Skiing Championships (Divisions I, II, III), she placed 33rd in both the freestyle and classic races.
A graduate of Denmark's Copenhagen International School, Spika is the daughter of Drs. Deberah Davis and John Spika of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Who knows exactly how long ago humans noticed that we don't fit into our world we as neatly as many organisms occupy their places in the grand tapestry of life? Certainly, since the middle ages, the cultural conversation has focused on what makes humans different from animals. It's only recently that we can say, "from OTHER animals." While we are clearly made from the same stuff as other life on Earth, we also seem distinctly different. According to the Christian worldview, the things that set us appart from animals are the hallmarks of our superiority. We are made in God's image, endowed with souls and free will, and given dominion over the Earth. These self-flattering assumptions have blinded us to the potential consequences of our "split from nature," and we will need to set them aside if we are to respond in a truly intelligent and adaptive way to the suite of challenges that beset us in the 21st Century.
The things that set us apart from other animals are our ability to co-ordinate our actions, create complex abstract representations of our world, ourselves, and the processes which affect our well-being. We can then communicate our abstractions to our fellow humans and thereby make reference to our shared abstractions, modify them collaboratively, and use them as guides for action. We can also record them outside of our genes and outside of living memory. Chimps and Orcas may have culture and learn things from one another, but no chimp has access to a 200 year-old annotated and illustrated manual for havesting termites. No Orca can compare his own understanding of the state of his environment with a record layed down by an Orca a thousand years ago. Because the patterns that allow our adaptive and massively coordinated behavior change much more quickly than most organisms adapt to their environments, we have gone from living in caves and simple shelters to building castles and onion-domed towers, to constructing buildings from steel and glass which provide electric light, running water and flush toilets a thousand feet or more above the ground. In the time that our buildings have changed so dramatically our genes and bodies have seemingly changed very little.
But those same capacities for abstraction, communication and coordination have allowed us to lose ourselves in worlds of fantasy and self-deception. Today, even poor people have access to rich catalogs of music, art, drama and forms of entertainment that no king or emperor of ages past. We have remade the world to prioritize our abstractions over the tangible and to surround ourselves with a mesh of constantly chattering, battling, complixifying culture. Because we treat abstractions as being as real as rocks and water, we subject ourselves to contrived systems of authority. Differential selection guarantees that organizations which prioritize their own continued existence and growth over serving whatever purpose they were originally conceived to servie will proliferate in the environment. We allow these systems, which care nothing for our happiness or our values, to sacrifice our freedoms, health, and options to them.
Merely recognizing the source of our challenges does not necessarily provide a guide for effective action. Sometimes we can only wait, observe, anticipate and gather our stregnth in order to respond with wisdom and agility for when the moment of transition is at hand.

If the reports coming from Amaravati are to be believed, contracting firm Transstroy India Ltd, promoted by senior Telugu Desam Party leader and Narsaraopet MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao, might be shown the door from executing the multi-purpose Polavaram project.
According to these reports, TDP president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who reviewed the works of Polavaram project on Monday, expressed serious concern over the inordinate delay in the execution of the project by Transstroy.
He ordered the Irrigation department to issue show-cause notice to the promoters asking them to explain the reasons for the delay and give detailed explanation as to how they were going to complete the project within the stipulated time.
It is learnt Naidu might drop Rayapati's firm from the project and entrust the task to another bigger contractor which can complete the target to supply water through gravity by 2018.
As part of spillway and concrete works, the major related tasks which are outstanding will reportedly be given another company through tenders before the first week of October.

Come With Me Now - Kongos
To celebrate the 4th July our next LCM featured artists are a band of 'brothers' currently based in the US. South African-born Greek-American alternative rock band KONGOS consisting of four brothers: Johnny (accordion, keyboards, vocals), Jesse (drums, percussion, vocals), Daniel (guitar, vocals), and Dylan Kongos (bass guitar, lap slide guitar, vocals). Sons of British singer-songwriter John Kongos, they grew up in London and South Africa, and are now based in Phoenix, Arizona. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay 'Come With Me Know' is guaranteed to get the blood pumping and your toes tapping. It is taken from their 2014 album 'Lunatic'. We love the accordion, which we think is often lacking in rock music.
The band's sophomore album Lunatic was released in 2012. Kongos's single "I'm Only Joking", from their album Lunatic, topped various South African charts, including all three of Tuks FM's charts, and received copious airtime on 5FM and on many other stations in South Africa. The music video for the song debuted on TV 5 on SABC 3 and was in rotation on MKTV. Their second single "Come with Me Now" was in rotation on both 5FM and Tuks FM. The song appeared on the 5FM Top 40 and the Tuks FM Top 30 charts.
In late October 2013, the band self-released Lunatic in the United States. In 2014, both "I'm Only Joking" and "Come with Me Now" began receiving noticeable exposure in the United States, gaining momentum in airplay on radio and being featured in television commercials there. Their song "Come with Me Now" was used as the official theme song for WWE's pay-per-view event 'Extreme Rules' and in the motion picture The Expendables 3. As a result, the band was signed by Epic Records in late January 2014 and the band re-released 'Lunatic'. "Come with Me Now" had sold more than 70,000 copies as of March 2014, but has since been certified Platinum by the RIAA, signifying sales of more than a million copies
On June 10, 2016 Kongos released their second album 'Egomaniac', would be released on June 10, 2016. Their first single, "Take It from Me" premiered on April 15. On April 28, 2016, the second instant grat track "I Don't Mind" was released to album pre-order customers.

Making the Resonator
(part 2)
(Jon Tirone)
An enthusiast is one who believes about four times as much as he can prove, & can prove about eight times as much as anyone will ever believe.
The next challenge was, "how will I make the side of the resonator?" which is like a wooded ring about ½" thick and 1 ½ " tall that will be glued onto the wooden dish that you saw in part 2 of "Making the resonator". Boy this took some thinking. The first thing that I tried in order to create this was to glue strips of veneer in a circle to make the side. This was somewhat successful but it was hard to get it real nice and accurate. So I gave up on that idea.
I got the idea to glue some scrap blocks of hardwood together that I would router out to make a wooden ring.
I got a piece of square steel bar that I used to make a guide or circle cutter for the router. I cut out the outside diameter of the resonator, which is about 13 3/4". I kept on increasing the depth of the cut using a 1/4" square headed router bit until I was almost through the other side of the wooden block assembly which is about 1 ½" thick. I then used a coping saw to finish cutting out the circle.
Here is the cut out circle. I then sanded the cut edges smooth.
I then began to cut the inside of the ring by re-drilling another hole in the square flat metal bar to make the diameter of the cut smaller. Here I made a 1/4" lip in the ring and I went down 1/4" deep. I then readjusted the steel bar again to go inside the circle a bit more and the cut through to almost the other side, which the remainder was cut through with a coping saw.
After I cut the ring out completely with the coping saw I trimmed it up using my Swiss army knife and then smoothing it with a rasp and sand paper.
Here is a drawing of the shape of the wall or wooden ring of the resonator to hopefully give you an idea what I just made. This is the profile of the wooden ring glued onto the wooden dish or back.
OK! Here is the back of the resonator after the ring is glued on. It doesn't look very elegant as I patched up any flaws with auto body putty. This doesn't matter as after sanding it smooth, I covered the whole outside of the resonator with veneer.
See "Part 3" of "How to make the Resonator."
Enthusiasm is the all-essential human jet propellant. It is the driving force which elevates men to miracle workers. It begets boldness, courage; kindles confidence; overcomes doubts. It creates endless energy, the source of all accomplishment.

Stanley Caldwell is back once again as his script is being made into a movie. At the beginning of the film we are introduced to Stanley once again, though he looks a bit different. He is talking with a lady who insults Stanley, not knowing that she is actually talking to Stanley, and Stanley drowns her. Later on Stanley sneaks onto the set of the movie and says that he is a friend, a roomate, of Stanley's and that he knows a lot about him. Eventually he gets rid of the director and he takes over the position of director of the film and he will stop and nothing to complete his masterpiece.
I enjoyed this one much better then the first, mainly because it didn't have that girl Mallory in this one. She was really annoying in the first. There really aren't any characters like her in this one. Stanley Caldwell is back on another psychotic rampage filming his script. The acting wasn't anything great, but this is a made for TV movie. One of my favorite scenes in the movie was the ending, when it took place in the studio. But one thing I never could understand was why no one recognized Stanley as he took over the director's position. I mean there are riots and everything going on because of the film being made and I am sure everyone on that set would have seen his picture on the TV or something, but no one recognized him until the end of the movie. But anyways, this movie isn't that great, but it's cheesy fun. And it is far better then the original. I give this movie a 5 out of 10.

|Au hasard Balthazar
Robert Bresson (France, 1966)
Inspired in part by the donkey anecdote in Dostoyevsky's The Idiot, Bresson cast Balthazar the donkey as the central character. Passed from one owner to the next, Balthazar is both witness to and victim of their stories, their suffering, their violence. His life and death are as mysterious, if not meaningless, as any of theirs. If anything, Balthazar's deep eyes, as captured in Bresson's fragmented framing, intimate an understanding lost to the blank-faced peasants. He is the transcendant Bressonian actor. The other main figure in the film is a young farm girl who befriends Balthazar and suffers some of his fate in the grip of her passion for a leather-jacketed motorcyclist. Bresson was interested not only in the Biblical image of the donkey—his patience, his humility—but in the Greek and Roman concept of the donkey as a symbol of sexuality. The film is at once extremely sensual and a work of unearthly sensitivity.
—Judy Bloch
• Written by Bresson. Photographed by Ghislain Cloquet. With Anne Wiazemsky, François Lafarge, Walter Green, Philippe Asselin. (95 mins, In French with English subtitles, B&W, 35mm, From Rialto Pictures)

Police officers, firefighters, and paramedics descended on a Jewish centre in Oxford earlier today, following reports of a "shocking and deeply distressing" anti-semitic attack.
Initial reports suggested that police had discovered a suspicious substance outside Chabad Student Centre on Cowley Road.
However, it is now understood that the offenders threw "talcum powder" at the centre, with one woman at the scene telling the Oxford Mail that an offensive note was also left by the offenders.
Oxford West and Abingdon MP, Layla Moran, said in a statement: "It is shocking and deeply distressing to hear reports of an attack on the Oxford Jewish Centre. I wholly condemn this attack – we cannot tolerate anti-Semitism of any kind in Oxford."

On October the 19th, we celebrated the advancement of technology in our industry, RecFest style!
RecTechFest is a one-day celebration where we explored our industry's leading technologies and what our market can expect in 2018, from emerging innovation to the evolution of the existing offerings.
Each hour was dedicated to a specific category of technology and, over 2 cinema screens, 14 resourcing leaders shared a success story of how a technology has helped them solve a problem. Each speaker was followed by a live product demo, taking the delegates on an eye-opening journey through the recruitment technology landscape.
RecTechFest is a unique event experience, being the perfect place to explore the technology landscape before planning where to invest in 2018.
Watch all the tech demos below
Would you like to connect with any of these techs?

James Gillard
Travel port
"I wanted to say thanks and again and well done for RecTechFest! It's nice to see an events company disrupting the way recruitment communication is thought of, and in turn, see there is a hunger for such events. Also, what a lovely bunch of people to have spent the day with.
I thought the event was great and I loved using conversation starter app. I thought how the demos were planned was very clever, our previous presentation ended on programmatic and ours started on programmatic. Brilliant set up!"

Welcome to the Newcomer's Page!
Feature Article:
Membership Matters
*The following is an excerpt from Christianity Today, making the case for why Church Membership matters, written by Ed Stetzer.
Biblical Membership
Why do we have membership? Because regardless of how the culture sees it, or Christians misunderstand it, membership is not simply an opportunity to say, "I'm a part of a club, but rather a scriptural expression of covenant-connectedness to a church."
There are three things that help us understand why church membership is biblical and important... READ MORE
(source: www.christianitytoday.com)
We see in the Book of Acts, that the early church was a tight-knit community that met regularly and was committted to each other. Now, in today's culture, membership into a group signals a clear shift from dabbling, and even participation, to ownership. It is a two-way commitment between yourself and the Braeswood Church family.
As a member, you belong to the church family, and will be fully invested into the life and mission of Braeswood Church through your time, talent, and treasures. At the same time, Braeswood Church better understands who is committed to that mission, and who to count on for needs and key decision-making.
The MEMBERSHIP PROCESS involves 3 steps for the prospective member:
Attend our DISCOVER BRAESWOOD, Membership Class.This one-day class is as interactive as it is, also, informative. Sessions are designed to help you not only get acquainted with Braeswood Church, but also learn how to grow in your faith, as well as how you can discover God's purpose for your life through the exercise of your gifts and talents in the service of others - within as well as outside the local church. To sign-up for the Discover Braeswood class, click HERE.
Complete, and submit, a Membership Application.
During the Membership Class, you will be asked to fill out a MEMBERSHIP application. A Membership Application provides us with information about your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and involvement at Braeswood Church, or prior churches you have been a part of. It will also include the following:
A clear testimony of salvation.
Believer's Baptism by Immersion.
Agreement with our Statement of Faith and Bylaws.
Get to Know You.
Upon completing the application, you will be contacted by a member of our Assimilation Team, to schedule an interview with our Campus Pastor. This will especially beneficial - during this process - as you will have an opportunity to discuss areas of clarity, including: what salvation through Christ means; what church membership entails; and, how you can thrive spiritually at Braeswood Church.
Upon satisfactory completion of your Interview, the Campus Pastor will recommend your membership to the Deacon's Fellowship. If additional steps are required, prior to your acceptance into membership, you will be informed. On the first Sunday of every new quarter, the Campus Pastor, and/or Lead Pastor, will officially induct new members.

Today was warm here, not very Christmassy but kind of nice to go outside and find some December gifts. There is nothing as beautiful as nature, there is nothing in a store to buy that comes near that beauty.
I am ending the day with a hot cup of organic coffee and a teaspoon of honey from my bees of summer – I can't express how wonderful this moment is to me. I decided to cap it off with a blog post just to make it memorable. Unfortunately, however, I've not much to say. I am waiting on a cold front to arrive early tomorrow and cause the Christmas spirit to stir – at least I hope so, for it is not here. I draw on childhood memories to help get me there. I have so many and so many different focuses.
The ones about Miss Sue are so pure and deep. They are connected to nature; they are about cutting cedar trees in the woods, trees with bird's nests and moss in them, and getting sticky sap on your carcoat and gathering giant pinecones from a place near the bayou and bringing them home to just be. They are about giving her a gift of homemade food and a late December visit by the fire. Those memories stir me, those memories made me. She was untouched by the commercialism of Christmas.
Another memory is about my dad and the colossal effort he made one year to put together a huge wreath made from cedar boughs from the woods – this thing was engineered and I'm sure, the source of much stress – for him. I don't know why he did it – but I remember it.
I remember my mother too, of course I remember her – the manifestation of Christmas for me – the giver, the miracle worker, the one who created the magic; she defined it for me.
Of all the things about Christmases past, most are not about things.
Those people are gone now and so are the Christmases of childhood but, as is evident with this post, their spirits remain a constant in my life.
I don't have the tree up and I have not been shopping, instead, I wait patiently for the arrival of the Christmas spirit.
I gathered these gifts from the December yard today – citrus from the trees, camellias to put in vases that were a birthday present from a dear friend and narcissus bulbs dug up in my yard at Thanksgiving to be forced bloomed for Christmas.
Christmas is the day that holds all time together.

We've all got "must-watch" lists pages and pages long, filled with titles we know we'll likely never stream (or at least remember). Skip the list; these 3 anime are worth watching tonight.
|One Week Friends is a classic in the making.
I love cheesy and typical romances, but this one is special. One Week Friends details the day to day lives of both Yuuki Has and Kaori Fujimiya.
Sadly, Kaori suffers from a special memory loss that resets her brain every week – she forgets new friends and some mundane stuff, but focus is on the friends aspect. So what does Yuuki do? He attempts to fix that by restarting their friendship, every single week.
It is cute, it is an emotional ride and it has everything I like in an anime. If you like a soft and sweet romance anime this one is a keeper.
|Kyousougiga is a title that I feel deserves more love than it has received.
I've chatted about this anime before and by golly, I will talk more about it! Kyousougiga is just an artistic trip with a confusing story that's admittedly bonkers, yet sensible. For me the artistic nature of this anime is what stands out most as an unearthed gem.
The anime's focus is on Koto trying to find out where her father has run off to in a world known as Looking Glass City.
It meshes religion, family, duty and love into a beautiful tapestry that I think most will enjoy.
|We Without Wings can unravel a person in a short matter of time with its fan service alone. (Honestly, it will beat you senseless.)
The anime follows three different people: Takashi, Shūsuke, and Hayato.Think a school vignette, bar vignette, and street vignette.
The animation is solid and the composition is not half bad either, but be forewarned: there are a lot of characters. It has twists and storylines that you end up falling in love with, and it's addicting to watch each world intertwine with another.

Light Test
3 Edited Styles, Original (Exposure Corrected)
Yep. We are a bit different. Please don't say hipster. No were not necessarily offended at the adjective you attributed to us, we just think that it is wrong. We recognize the style that is, and we recognize the connection it can elicit in us as people. We would like to call ourselves artists. Brash a bit yes if you would like, but with an honesty.
We use ourselves through hair, make-up, photography and sometimes every artistic cliché to create that moment when we connect with our selves. Who doesn't want to have that moment as much as you can?

The Australian Palliative Care Outcomes Collaboration (PCOC) is the national evidence hub on patients' daily pain and symptom outcomes in Australia. This is evidence of the effectiveness of palliative care.
We have information on pain and symptom control for more than 250,000 people who have received palliative care over the last decade.
The information produced by PCOC is used by clinicians and by local, state and national providers of palliative care to continually improve care for patients and their families.
Only about 40% of people who could benefit from palliative care receive it.
Palliative care is highly effective for the majority of people. For most, symptoms and problems improve with palliative care.
About 100,000 people die a predictable death each year in Australia.
Of those, 40,000 receive specialist palliative care and 60,000 do not.
PCOC provides the best national and local evidence of the needs and outcomes of patients and their families, including the effectiveness of their care.
Palliative care clinicians use our standardised patient and family / carer assessment tools to assess and respond to each patient's needs.
People may receive palliative care for years, months, weeks or days before death. The PCOC assessment tools are used to measure and track symptoms and problems.
PCOC measures outcomes for pain, physical symptoms, psychological-spiritual needs, as well as family and carer outcomes. We also measure outcomes for people as they move between home and hospital.
The majority of palliative care patients have no or mild symptoms and problems in the last stage of their life.
A small number of people have high symptom needs and burdensome problems.
Fatigue is the most common symptom. It causes severe distress for around 13% of patients and this reduces to approximately 8% just before death.
Pain is next most common symptom, with 7% of people experiencing severe distress and this reduces to approximately 2.5% just before death.
Other problems with appetite, breathing, bowels, insomnia and nausea are experienced by less people and all of these symptoms are improved by the end of palliative care (see figure below).
Percentage of patients reporting severe distress at the beginning of palliative care and just before death
For people receiving palliative care, severe pain or other distressing symptoms are rare in the final stages of life.
Despite what most people think, pain and other symptoms actually improve as people receiving palliative care move closer to death. People in their final days and hours experience less pain and other problems than earlier in their journey.
In the final stage of life, some people do experience problems with fatigue, pain, appetite, breathing, bowels, insomnia and nausea. PCOC's information tells us that around 5% of people experience severe distress from some, not all, of these problems. The most distressing problem reported in the final stages of life is fatigue.
Clinicians use the information PCOC produces to measure the effectiveness of the care they provide and to continually improve the palliative care provided to people and their families.
The CareSearch website provides trustworthy information about palliative care for patients, carers and families as well as for the health professionals providing their care.

Taiwan Power Delays New Nuclear Plant Launch, Seeks More Funds
TAIPEI -(Dow Jones)- Government-owned monopoly utility Taiwan Power Co. has to delay the start of commercial operations at its No. 4 nuclear power plant by two years to 2011 and ask the government for more funds, company spokeswoman Tu Yueh-Yuan said Wednesday.
The plant has been plagued by construction delays, soaring raw material prices, and at one point, a decision by the previous administration to halt construction altogether because of its "nuclear-free homeland" policy.
The budget for the No. 4 plant's two units was originally NT$233.55 billion ( US$6.77 billion), but now Taiwan Power wants to ask the government for about NT$ 40 billion more, said Tu.
"We need more funds mainly because of rising construction costs and the depreciating Taiwan dollar," said Tu.
The figures are not final, as the final new budget must be approved by the government, she said.
Taiwan Power operates three nuclear reactors with a total of six power generating units and a capacity of 5,144 megawatts, or 13.1% of its total installed capacity.
The No. 4 nuclear power plant, built in Lungmen, Taipei County, will operate two units with a planned

At the weekend the 6, rapidly-growing-fit-for-christmas-dinner were allowed out for a stroll! They spent alot of time scratching and being rounded up by Brandy the dog!
They had a great time and will be taking a trip out again in the near future. Next time however, they will NOT be allowed on the new grass as it seems they have VERY big feet!

The Old Man and the Old Cars
Two of the boys, Kent and Ricky, picked me up Saturday morning and took me to a car show in celebration of Fathers' Day. The show was the 30th Annual John Dillinger Legendary Bank Robbery Run in Daleville, Indiana, a bucolic thirty-minute drive from the house.
Whatever the show had to do with John Dillinger I failed to see, but it was a great car show! Tons, literally, of entries ranging from '27 T-buckets to Cadillac road arks of the Fifties and Sixties and MoPar muscle cars of the Seventies.
To my surprise one of Kent's favorites (he's big on MoPar muscle cars) was a '63 Rambler 440. He also was amazed at the Willys vehicles which he said he had never seen. Ricky was enthralled with the Cadillacs.
After I was worn out and had seen about all the old iron I could process in one session, Kent treated us to a steak dinner, then home.
Great day!

There is evidence on record to
show that with the advent of the British Army in India, Polo in
its present form was introduced by the officers of a British
Cavalry Regiment stationed in the country in the seventies of the
last century. Polo was then played on small ponies, as a result
of which the game was not of high speed. After world War - I,
international rules were framed, which all countries accepted and
now it is played under those rules, everywhere.
Miniature Painting of
Rajput Princesses playing "Chougan"(Polo), during
the medievial period.
Polo thrived under the Patronage of the Mughal Emperors
and Rajput Kings.
The Indian Polo Association was formed in the year 1892, a time
when there were many clubs, patronized and endorsed by the princes
of modern India. Among the most prominent teams were those of
Jaipur, Alwar, Bhopal, Bikaner, Hyderabad, Patiala, Jodhpur, Kishangarh
and Kashmir were some of the prominent ones.Some of the well -
known army teams were those of the Indian and British cavalry
Regiments,e.g. : The 15th Lancers, The Central India Horse, and
the P.A.V.O. Cavalry. The Inniskilling Dragon Guards, The 17/21st
Lancers, The 10th Royal Hussars. In the early years of the last
century the greatest contribution towards raising the standard
of the game came from Rajputs & Sikhs. Superb horsemen, the
members of these teams were also noted for excellence of their
stick-work and horse control .
In 1933, the famous Jaipur Team
established a unique and an unbeaten record till date, by winning
all the open tournaments in the United Kingdom and the Indian
Championship successively from the year 1930 to 1938.
With the interruption
caused by the Second World War, and the mechanization of the Cavalry
regiments, the game suffered a severe set back in the 1940's.
So,in the Indian context, the whole burden of reviving Polo and
maintaining the grounds fell on the Indian Polo Association. It
was considered that the best way to popularize the game and to
revive it , was to invite a foreign team, which would play exhibition
matches at different places across the country. In 1950, the Argentine
Polo team was invited to come and take part in our tournaments
in Jaipur, Delhi and Bombay, and we also staged exhibition matches-
Argentine versus India. In 1955, the Pakistan Army Polo team was
invited in the same series of events. Both these visits were of
great significance to Polo in our country and the game was once
again put on the map. As a result Jaipur, Delhi, Calcutta and
Bombay started holding tournaments. In this Calcutta took the
lead, Polo being a popular game with the sports-loving people
of Bengal.
In the year 1957,
India sent an official polo team to take part in the World Championships
in France comprising of Major Kishan Singh, Kr. Bijay Singh, Rao
Raja Hanut Singh and H.H. Maharaja of Jaipur. India won, beating
all other combinations which included many great players from
England, Argentina, Spain, Mexico and France. In 1956, after a
lapse of 17 years, owing to the II World War, the Indian Polo
Championship was revived and has since been played regularly at

NORTH YARMOUTH — State Rep. Anne Graham, D-North Yarmouth, must fend off a challenge by Durham Republican Paul Chace on Nov. 4 to win a third term in the Maine House of Representatives.
The candidates are running in House District 46, a redrawn district that includes North Yarmouth, Durham, and half of Pownal. Graham's former District 109 included parts of North Yarmouth, Gray and Pownal.
Chace, 47, has been a pharmacist for almost 25 years, most of that time at Rite Aid. He previously owned a pharmacy with his wife, who also is a pharmacist. He is a member of the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine, the Durham Rod and Gun Club and the National Rifle Association, and served eight years on the Maine Board of Pharmacy.
This is his first campaign for elected office.
"A lot of what I've been doing (as a pharmacist) would be considered involvement with how we interact with our business partners, insurance companies, relationships with the medical providers and community, so I've done a lot of things in pharmacy that most pharmacists aren't usually involved in," Chace said.
He got to use his knowledge of pharmacy therapeutics to work in the business side of that world, "trying to make things more practical for our patients, more practical for our physicians," Chace said, noting that he worked in Augusta for a few years for the processor for the state's Medicaid program.
Chace called himself "a strong listener," with a history of listening to people in difficult situations and trying to help them find reasonable solutions.
"The state has a lot of issues going on right now," he said. "We have an aging population that is tempted to move away," as well as a younger one tempted to do the same thing, "and it's very easy for us to become frenetic about how spend our money and where we focus our resources."
He said the Legislature must narrow its focus, to "the core issues and items that are going to get us on track as a viable state."
Graham, 55, is married and has three sons. She is a nurse practitioner, on the adjunct faculty at St. Joseph's College, and served on the North Yarmouth Board of Selectmen from 2007-2010.
Graham also started the North Yarmouth Economic Development and Sustainability Committee, represented North Yarmouth on a school consolidation committee, and headed Foundation 51, the independent educational foundation for Cumberland and North Yarmouth schools. She also has served on the Governor's Advisory Council on Health Systems Development.
"I really enjoy the work I do," said Graham, who during her time in Augusta has been House chairwoman of the State and Local Government committee. "I like standing up for the smaller communities that I represent. I feel like I'm a strong voice for health care, and for issues around children."
Crossing the aisle
Graham said it is important to cross the aisle between the Democratic and Republican parties, and work together in a bipartisan way.
"Unfortunately, over the past two to four years (Gov. Paul LePage) has vetoed 183 bills, which is frustrating for us," she said, adding that "looking at reform of our property tax system, reform of our welfare system, those are things we can do working together. … And I think that as we move forward, we can get a lot done working together, as opposed to fighting one another."
In the last two years, the Legislature has tried to have a common ground caucus, which Graham co-chaired. "I would like to see that happen again," she said."That we make a concerted effort to find common ground, despite our partisan differences."
Chace said that in his profession, he works with both sides of the political spectrum.
"When you're mixing health care with business, you already do have two sides of the aisle talking most of the time," he explained. "Everyone's got opinions, everybody's got ideas. We all pretty much want the same thing; the difference is maybe finding more concise and accurate ways to get there."
He added that Augusta cannot experiment with taxpayer money, and must be focused on how it spends those funds, and what the true results of those expenditures will be, "and whether where we're focusing our resources is really going to return a benefit."
Boosting business
Chace said that when he and his wife owned their small business, it was their goal to employ as many people as they could.
But they "had to contend with the burdensome regulations facing Mainers and companies who are trying to operate a business and to provide employment in our communities," he said.
In order to thrive, he added, we need sensible policy in Augusta, specifically lower taxes and reasonable regulation.
"Working for such policies will be my priority," he promised.
Graham said one way to make Maine more business friendly is to encourage young people to move back to, or come to, the state.
"In North Yarmouth alone, I think that at least a half dozen families have moved into our community, and are choosing to live in our community, because it's a great small town," she said, "but also because Maine is one of the safest states in the country, and it's one of the best place … to raise families."
She said she would like to see Maine marketed to the rest of the country, as a place to bring and grow businesses and families.
Graham said people should vote for her again because she works hard, noting that more than 20 of her bills have been passed during her four years in the Legislature.
She recalled times when constituents have approached her with concerns, and she referred them to the appropriate department within state government; sometimes a bill would come out of those concerns, she said.
"I consistently work hard for my constituents," Graham said.
Chace said the Legislature's goal should be to improve citizens' lives, capitalize on the resources Maine has, and capitalize on the ethic, ability to work hard, and ingenuity of the citizenry.
"I don't know how to go half way, and I enjoy solving puzzles," he said. "… There is always an answer; some are easier to see than others."

You were chosen to test a pattern, sewed up a muslin/final product, gave comments and now it is time for final photos. Or maybe you sew up strike-offs, samples, for fabric promotion. You know only the best ones get picked for the online gallery and promotion photos, plus you will be doing some spamming for promotion of your own, so…now what?
How do you get quality photos?
I will discuss a few of your options, in addition to posting some helpful links.
- Watch your backgrounds. I know not everyone has an HGTV yard and perfectly in order house to take magazine cover worthy photos. This is not something you need! You basically just need 2 feet on either side of you to look decent.
When framing your shot consider out of the way corners, interesting doors, and non-distracting backgrounds (i.e. no cars in the shot, random stray toys, garbage cans…yes, people do notice the backgrounds). Do a bit of Googling of your neighborhood and see if there is any interesting, off the beaten path areas that you could use for a photo op. I'm not suggesting trespassing (illegal) or standing on railroad tracks (also illegal), but you may find some hidden gems.
Corner of my house with an overgrown vine
Dead end road on the edge of my city
This was from a deserted waystation overlooking a river valley that my city owns. It wasn't exactly a city park, but it was open to the public. There were just about 10 feet of ruins here from an old wall, but that was all I needed. There also was a small tree growing on one side that helped shade her from direct sun. This gave some decent lighting without hot sun spots on her (hot spots are overbright areas in a picture where all detail is lost – no amount of Photoshop will bring them back). Side note: This isn't perfect. There were a few spots where the sun peeked through and you can see those on her.
Don't look on the scene as a whole, but on a small space that you can use.
- Avoid noonday sun and midnight photos. Embrace the golden hour before the sun sets. The lighting is better in those times, but it is more yellow. You may have to do some color-correcting if it is for a strike-off photo.
High sun gives harsh shadows on individuals, and can also produce those "hot spots" or overexposed areas where the detail is lost.
Example of hot spots on her hair and white shirt:
This is especially prevalent on white clothes and blonde hair. Instead choose morning or an hour before the sun sets when the sun is low in the sky. Cloudy days are also a good option, as long as there is still enough light.
If you absolutely MUST take photos in full daylight, find a shady spot (watch for sunlight creeping through the leaves, though) or invest in a reflector/diffuser. You use the diffuser over them to filter the light. You will need a helper, but if you have a tripod you can get an attachment for them. The subject needs to stay in place, though (i.e. probably won't work for a toddler).
Photos at night are a challenge if you are trying to take photos without a lighting set up. If you have a DSLR you can buy an external flash and bounce the flash off the ceiling or walls. Do not point it directly at your subject. Bouncing off a wall or ceiling diffuses the light for a more natural look.
A wall in my office at home…I had to clone out an electrical outlet
You can also buy a lighting kit. Amazon has a lot of them. Invest in a couple of vinyl backgrounds if you don't have a great place in your house to take photos. You don't need huge ones, just big enough for photos, so a 5 x 7 will work. I have used those in the past.
You can either tape them on the wall (they are fairly light) or buy a backdrop stand and clips to hold them on there.
I also have white seamless paper that I use for a backdrop, but you do need a backdrop stand for those.
Option 1: I don't own a DSLR Camera…I only have my phone.
Camera phones have increased in quality over the past several years. In addition there are some great apps out there that can help in editing your photos.
A few tips for phone cameras –
- Select Portrait mode. This helps to focus on you and can give a blurry background called "bokeh".
- Shoot during daytime as much as possible. Use a window for natural light, though watch to make sure it is diffused light and not direct sunshine on them. It is hard to get a good nighttime shot with just a phone. Either the flash gives high contrast shadows, or if no flash, your photo is not crisp and contains a lot of "noise". There are some apps that can help smooth out the noise, but the crispness is not going to get better.
- If you don't have a photographer, get a tripod and Bluetooth enabled remote. You can find them on Amazon for pretty reasonable prices. I bought a package of a tabletop tripod and Bluetooth remote for less than $20.
Option 2: I have a DSLR, but haven't moved it off "A"
There is a reason you purchased this big, bulky camera, and that is the ability to take fantastic pictures! I think we all started out on Automatic, but eventually it is time to take the plunge into Manual Settings. Start by going off auto and using the different priority features.
Shutter priority – you choose the shutterspeed (how quickly the camera takes a photo)
Aperture priority – you choose the aperture (depth of field or amount of bokeh)
Manual is when you choose all of the options yourself. That is what I use when taking photos.
The Trinity of Manual
ISO –You want to keep this number at 400 or lower, but truly mine is set at 800/1600 so often in the winter. This adds grain to your images. If you have the photo exposed properly with a high ISO, then it doesn't show as much.
Shutterspeed – This is another setting that sets your light sensitivity but at the expense of movement. With adults you don't need to worry as much with shutterspeed, but you do with kids. They tend to run around (i.e. faster than the speed of light movement at all times), so you will need to set your shutterspeed at 250 or above. This generally will be at the expense of a higher ISO.
(In brief: High ISO = BAD, High Shutterspeed = GOOD)
Aperture – Last, but not least, is the aperture. This gives the bokeh, or blurry background. Lenses generally have a minimum/maximum aperture value. My kit lens only goes down to around 3.8, but my prime (fixed length) lenses will usually go down to 1.8 to 1.4. If you can't get your aperture down to a lower number (which means that it is wide open and lets in lots of light), then it doesn't really matter what your settings are for the shutterspeed or ISO. This is why I would recommend at least getting a 50mm 1.8 lens. This is generally on the cheapest end of the prime lenses for both Canon and Nikon. This type of lens is really needed indoors, as it is hard to take pictures without that low aperture option.
When using a really low aperture of f1.8 you may lose focus if you are close to a subject. You want the eyes to be in focus, so I generally focus on the bridge of their nose. If you need to get the clothing in focus (I assume so), you will either need to be far away or use a higher aperture.
Setting the aperture low gives you the shallow depth of field (meaning: a blurry background), which is great if you have subjects really close together. If you want to take group shots you need to be far away to have a setting at 1.8 (or thereabouts), but a 4.0 is usually the setting you would want otherwise not everyone will be in focus.
(In brief: Low Aperture = more light, which is good if you are okay with a shallow depth of field)
When I set my camera up for pictures I decide what I want from the photo. Do I want a shallow depth of field? I will set the aperture first and make the rest of the settings work for proper exposure. If I need to make sure everything is in focus (i.e. NOT a shallow DOF), then I set my aperture around 4.0 and adjust SS and ISO.
Next step? Take lots of pictures! I don't really need to think about settings anymore. I can just quickly set mine once I get a feel of the lighting situation and can get to taking pictures.
Practice, practice, practice…that is how you get good at anything.
I would also suggest getting a tripod and remote for your camera. I have a radio remote, so it doesn't need line of sight to take pictures. That means I can hide it behind me and push the clicker to focus and take pictures. Amazon has a plethora of options…just search by your camera type. Tripods are pretty generic. I have a tall one, a short one for a table top and one for my phone.
The hardest part for most people is just getting comfortable in front of the camera. It may be helpful to look at Pinterest for some posing examples, so you don't just have one static rigid pose.
Some things to think about when posing for the camera:
- You are selling a product, so make sure you are getting detailed, clear shots. Faraway shots that are hard to see will not sell the product.
- Having a more "open" pose is more flattering. This means hands on your hips and arms not glued to your sides. Your legs should be cocked, too, so not together like a mermaid.
- It is more flattering to have the camera shoot down at you than shoot up at you. An example would be to stand at the bottom of the stairs and have the camera shoot down towards you.
- Shooting from the side is more flattering than shooting with you standing towards the camera.
- Putting your weight on your back leg is more elongating.
- Tip your head to the side and slightly down from camera.
- Face the sunlight or light source. It will add light to your eyes and there will be less shadows.
This is another area, where just take a lot of photos. You will find the most flattering angles for yourself. It helps to pose in front of a mirror first to have a starting point.
This is where I'm not very knowledgeable on for phone apps. I am a Photoshop girl. I have used Lightroom a little bit, but for the most part I edit in Photoshop.
I shoot RAW (a non-compressed jpeg file), and do most of the color correcting, exposure, highlights, etc. in Adobe Camera Raw. I open all of my RAW files at the same time, do the edits to one and then synchronize to the rest of them. I may need to make some slight changes to some photos, but they should all look consistent.
I open those files in Photoshop, and defog (Unsharp mask 20/60/0 – reduces digital haze), make any additional color corrections (make sure the fabric color matches my screen) or brightness in Levels that I think it may need, flatten the images and use Scripts to batch save Facebook sized photos (2048 px on the long end). I have written actions for the things I do to my photos. An Action in Photoshop is basically just a group of effects that you set up to run on a photo. You can open up several files and do a batch Action, reducing your editing time.
Color correcting is especially important when sewing strike-off fabrics for custom fabric groups. People are buying based on what they see on the screen. I usually check the picture on my phone to make sure it shows correctly there, too. Your computer screen may need to be calibrated correctly, so may not show correctly either.
Have the fabric next to you and get it as close as possible. Shooting inside or during the "golden hour" will skew more yellow, so you add blue. Cloudy days maybe more green, so you add red.
Some phone apps I have used and/or seen recommended:
- Photoshop Express
- Adding a watermark – iwatermark
- Enlight
- PhotoQuilt – for making collages
- Picsart
These apps aren't quite as precise as Photoshop, so you need to play around with them a bit more to get the desired result.

Posing Tips from Becca Duval at Free Notion – How to Stop Posing With Trees
I have an old photography blog that has a list of Photography tips on it. Some of the photos were linked to an old site, so I am in the process up updating the posts and adding newer (i.e. better) pictures.
Let me know if you have any questions or are now more thoroughly confused. I tried to touch on many things, but it is all just the tip of the iceberg.
The TL;DR version is:
- Watch your lighting
- Watch your backgrounds
- Shoot in natural light as much as possible
- Detail shots
- Color correction, if needed, especially on strikes.
- Shoot lots…you'll get better
