This is a topic that is close to my heart, because it stabs right through! I was watching a rerun on My 600 Life: it was a follow-up episode and the patient was doing fairly well, having lost about 200 lbs. The problem now was her 23 yr old daughter's weight, which was around 300 lbs. The patient (Charity) was desperate to keep her daughter (Charlie) "from going through what I went through" and was essentially hounding her to lose weight. I have been that daughter. For more years than I care to think about, I have listened endlessly to all kinds of threats, inducements, plain old bribes, suggestions subtle and not at all subtle about my weight. I know the mother's behavior stems from her love and desire to protect her daughter, but the girl is now an adult and the best way to show that love is to respect her daughter's decisions, even if she thinks they are the wrong decisions. It's okay to disagree with her and be respectful about it, but constant criticism is only going to drive a wedge between them. Think about it: let's substitute 'boyfriend/ girlfriend' for 'weight.' How many of you have listened to a parent complain about the person you are dating/ involved with? How much fun was it seeing your parent when you had to listen to them talk badly about someone you love? How long was it before you limited your exposure to your parent and/ or tuned them out as soon as they started complaining about your boyfriend/ girlfriend?: "You wouldn't have to do XYZ if Bobby had more ambition." "If Jolene dressed a little better she'd probably get a better job."
I am sure Charity thinks she is doing what moms are supposed to do and look out for their children. She no doubt thinks she's 'guiding' Charlie, but Charlie has already told her that when she criticizes her weight or her eating habits, it hurts her feelings (frankly, that's more than I could ever tell my mom!) So, Charity does the 'next best thing': when they show up at Dr. Nowzaradan's office, Charity tells him to tell Charlie she needs to lose weight! (One of those not-at-all-subtle suggestions!) What Charity does not realize is that she is not helping her daughter any more than the constant criticism and humiliation at the hands of others helped Charity to lose weight herself! As someone who has been in Charlie's shoes, I can tell you that all Charity is doing is making Charlie feel more inadequate and more like a failure or disappointment. There is the 'constant qualifier' to her self-esteem and worth as a person: 'you'd be such a pretty girl if only you weighed less"; "you could do XYZ if you didn't weigh so much"; etc. In other words: "you're just not good enough because you're too fat." I am sure that this is not what Charity believes just as I am sure this is not the message she wants to send to her daughter, but this is the message she is sending her daughter when she criticizes her weight and her eating habits: you are screwing up!
People eat for a variety of reasons and two of the biggest are emotional solace and simple control. We hear a lot about people 'eating their emotions' because they are either feeling something they don't know how to deal with or they don't want to deal with, so they distract themselves by eating something that makes them feel good, or they want to celebrate by making the good feelings last longer, so they eat something to reinforce those positive feelings. The end result is usually obesity: 'I can't handle my emotions.'
Control is another reason: pretty much the ultimate control over your own body is what you eat. Remember how little kids will refuse to eat? They are exercising control over their situation in the only way they can. This can end up as an eating disorder, usually anorexia. Sadly, this is how my grandmother died: as her health deteriorated and there were fewer things she could on her own, she chose to eat less and less. Despite being hospitalized and having the doctor (and others) flat out tell her that she would die if she didn't eat, she refused to eat. The flip side of self-starvation is obviously obesity: 'I am in control of what I eat and I am choosing to eat!' The irony is that the more you choose to eat or not eat, the less control you have over your situation. As my grandmother grew weaker, there were fewer and fewer things she could do, until she finally ended up in a hospital where she died. The same is true for the super morbidly obese: the more they eat, the bigger they become, the less mobile they are, the less they can do until finally they are bedridden and dependent on someone else bringing them the food they still demand because their ability to eat as much as they want is still under their control as they learn to manipulate their enablers.
In a situation like Charlie's, the more disapproval she senses from her mother, the more likely she is to eat her emotions: she feels bad that her mom is unhappy with her, and her mom makes her feel bad about herself, so she eats to feel better, and then feels guilty that she ate or that she ate the 'wrong thing,' so she eats something else to feel better. I think for Charity growing up, she ate for control (I know I did): her childhood was chaotic and scary and eating was something she had control over, so she ate as much as she could to make herself feel safe and secure (it was kind of the same for me). When everything is chaos and disorder, you control what you can, even if it's just a bag of potato chips. The point is that having used food for solace and control in her own life, Charity should realize that her nagging behavior is not supporting Charlie. Unfortunately, like most of us, Charity is too close to the issue to be objective.
It's hard to say what I would do in a similar situation: I've been morbidly obese like Charity (technically I still am) and I grew up being hounded over my weight like Charlie. Obviously since my weight remained a problem, one thing I am absolutely sure of is that hounding someone is guaranteed not to succeed. Constant nagging only alienates those involved and in most cases adds to the stress which triggers the 'offending behavior,' whether it's smoking or eating (my mom hounded one of her boyfriends about smoking with the same results!) There's that old expression: "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." You also can't push him down the road you think he should be on. All you can do is try to lead him, and leading by example works a whole lot better than bullying or humiliation.
When it comes to other family members, whatever they choose to eat is their own choice. There are few things more personal than what you choose to put in your body. My sister was vegetarian for many years and while it's not my choice, it was hers and I respected that when we went out to eat. My dad eats the Standard American Diet, and when he was recovering from an illness recently, I bought groceries for him. It would have been easy for me to buy him what I think he should be eating (my mom would have) but I bought things he likes, although I did buy the healthiest versions of them that I could. I could have filled his bags with organic produce and meats and left out the breads and processed foods he likes, but that's what I choose to eat for myself. Having been the recipient of "healthy" groceries chosen by my mom, based on whatever "doc of the day" said was healthy, instead of being grateful, I was more hurt and annoyed than anything else. I confess, when I shopped for him, I leaned a little more heavily on the fruits and vegetables he likes rather than the stuff in cans or boxes, but they were all things he enjoys. His grocery bags looked way different than mine do and that's the point: we all choose different things for ourselves. You may not like what someone else chooses to eat: you might think it's bad for them; that they are eating all wrong; that they need to 'fix' whatever in their diet, but the fact remains that it's their life, their body, their food and their choice. We need to respect one another's choices as we expect them to respect ours.
Do you know what has helped me the most in my weight loss? Other people respecting my food choices. My mom disagreed with my choice to eat Paleo (at least until the "doc of the day" gave it his thumbs up) and just like before, I tuned it out. The rest of my family was kind of interested in it, or at least they faked it for my sake, and they encouraged me to make better choices by respecting my different way of eating. Now if I eat something that 'isn't Paleo,' they tease me about it but won't tell me that not to eat it. Being supportive doesn't mean being critical; it means respecting someone else's decision. If Charity really wants to be supportive with Charlie, she can do it by inviting her to share her healthy meals, setting a good example and letting Charlie decide for herself. After all, what is more encouraging that being around someone who is happy, healthy and is holding the door open for you to join her?

Goldsmith's campaign faces further accusations of racism
28 April 2016, Blog
Conservative mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith has come under increasing pressure this week over allegations his flagging campaign has resorted to Islamophobia.
Zac's ambitions have been blighted in recent months by accusations of dog-whistle politics and underhand tactics. Zac's campaign team have been quick to fire back on the criticism, claiming that Labour's Sadiq Khan is in fact the candidate guilty of looking to gain an advantage by any means necessary.
In spite of Goldsmith's denial, Islamic organisations, such as the Muslim Association of Britain, have said they are "disturbed at how some candidates have gone to extreme measures to attack either Islamic practices or Muslims as a method of attracting support."
Goldsmith has also come under fire from members of his own party, with unsuccessful Tory General Election candidate Anzia Shawan suggesting that using words like "radical and dangerous to describe Khan is unacceptable."
Earlier this week, a spokesperson for Zac's campaign stated that "this allegation is complete nonsense. Only one candidate in this race has an Action Plan for Greater London – a candidate who will keep the economy strong, invest in the transport network and freeze mayoral council tax…. Zac Goldsmith!"

Art brings emotion and humanity to your life. You seek out works that stir emotions, resonate aesthetics, or evoke memories. But how often do you bring that same energy into your personal and intimate spaces? Your desk at work? Your bathroom? Your car? I'm talking about the places where you are at your most unguarded, unmasked self; the places you often neglect, but are possibly the most important because it's at those times you're likely the purest, most distilled version of you.
My goal is to bring the same beauty and emotion and energy to your personal "micro spaces" — your desk, your vehicle, your nightstand — as you bring to your macro spaces such as your living room or bedroom.
I endeavor to create an intimate emotional relationship between you and my art.
Matthew was interested in art from a very young age. Instead of playing baseball or other sports, Matthew spent his time filling notebook after notebook with his "doodles".
Planning a career in art, Matthew continued to spend his time drawing until, one day, he experienced something brand new that he knew was special; it would change him and the world: personal computers.
Immediately fascinated, wholly absorbed, and captivated, Matthew focused all of his energy and attention on this new paradigm shifting device.
Years went by.
Ever doodling, but never really returning to the passion of drawing he had as a boy.
After years of creating and building virtual things that were intellectually tangible but physically untouchable, Matthew was involved in a motorcycle accident causing him to acutely focus his attention on what was truly important in his life. Being a dad of two sons. Family. Friends. Love.
But there was something missing… a passion. After a period of deep introspection and self-reflection he had an epiphany: being an artist was his true passion.
Matthew returned to art and working with his hands by creating pieces for Art-o-mat; art that's dispensed from repurposed cigarette vending machines. His work has continued to grow and evolve from "tiny" art pieces - 3.125" x 2" in size, including handmade wood frames, to works up to 9" x 12". All the while, focused on creating an intimate relationship between the art and its owner.
Completely self-taught, Matthew's art explores and combines his love for science, technology, and the natural world.
Some pieces require that you stop what you're doing, hold them very close to you, and be present for the moment, so you can experience the minute detail. And in doing so, the art fosters an intimate relationship that's unlike other works of art.

NEW DELHI: Union Minister Arun Jaitley today said rollout the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has not been disruptive in the last one year and exuded confidence that higher revenue collections would enhance the capacity of the Government to rationalise tax rates going forward.
Speaking on the occasion of the first anniversary of the GST rollout, the Minister stressed that the best in terms of the impact of new tax regime on the GDP growth, ease of doing business, expansion of trade and industry, Make in India initiative and promoting honest business practices was yet to come.
He also dismissed the idea of a single rate GST being advocated by Congress President Rahul Gandhi as "flawed" saying that it can only work in a country where the entire population has 'similar and high' capacity to spend.
Jaitley, who is recuperating from a kidney transplant, joined the 'GST-Day' celebrations through video conferencing. (AGENCIES)

No Money Down on Chapter 13 Cases
For Qualified Wage Earners!
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy from $850
Phone and Video ConsultationsAvailable Today!
Both Chapter 7 and
Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be used by individuals to pay off their debts. However, Chapter 13 bankruptcy has a number of advantages over Chapter 7.
Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the most common type of bankruptcy use by individuals, all of your assets except for a few protected assets will be collected by a trustee and sold for cash. The sale of your assets will go towards paying off your debts. Property that can be used to settle your debts includes your home and any vehicles, but personal items as wedding rings may be excluded.
Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, assets are not sold off and liquidated in order to pay debts. Rather, people who have a steady income can use Chapter 13 bankruptcy to reorganize their debts and set up a repayment plan that usually takes 3 to 5 years to pay off that person's creditors. During a confirmation hearing, a bankruptcy judge will either approve or disapprove the plan that you and your bankruptcy attorney come up with.
Thinking about moving forward with bankruptcy? A Chicago bankruptcy attorney can help you determine which form of bankruptcy might be best for your situation.
Contact Bizar & Doyle, LLC now to learn more about the different
types of consumer bankruptcy.

For many of us creating informative social media content is something we all do, but surely creating content that will go viral is a whole different story. Whether you're a beginner, amateur or expert at performing content marketing, knowing whether or not your newly created content has what it takes to go viral is nearly impossible to predict. Everybody has their own opinion on exactly what type of content can absolutely go viral, but surely, according to the expert opinions contained within this informative article on Hub Spot, https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/what-makes-content-go-viral, the success of your content should be focused on some type of emotion.
Whether inspired, angered, excited or otherwise, your content should be eye catching, appealing and even unique in order to grasp the attention of potential readers or viewers. You want to be certain to catch the eye of potential viewers with content that is creative and intriguing at best. As a rule of thumb you should consider two scenarios when creating your new content in your efforts to determine if it is indeed content that will, over time, go viral. The first consideration is "would anyone share this content and if so, why," and the second is "Can this new content help individuals to be able to better express themselves?" Since the tendency is for people to share emotionally driven content it is up to you, the content creator, to identify a strong emotional driving element and elaborate on it. When content is able to excite or entice an audience and generate an emotional response that is so strong that the viewer can't help but share it, then surely you have created outstanding content that, from the human side, is apt to go viral.
In researching the article referenced above, we found the advice of the three content marketing experts that were presented to be quite helpful. From Megan Conley, a Content Marketing Strategist at HubSpot, and Nadya Khoja, the Director of Marketing at Venngage, to Eric Peters, a Growth Marketer at HubSpot Academy, we found all these comments and analyses to be not only interesting but helpful in understanding what it takes to create content that will go viral. We learned that the first and most important step in creating content that can make its presence known in the viral world you need to have a complete understanding of what sets the standards for sharing content overall.
There are a variety of features that need be present in order for your social media content to go viral including, but not limited to, invoking laughter, joy or even awe, using lists and/or infographics, allowing viewers to feel engaged and smarter for having shared the content in the first place, helping relationships flourish, and/or allowing individuals to get the word out to the public on issues they are passionate about. Further research and studies have revealed that many people admitted sharing content because it contained helpful hints or tips, it was quite entertaining, it contained inspirational quotes, images or sayings, it shared warnings about possible dangers or even recalls, and it contained unique, eye catching facts and pictures.
It's important to recognize that viral posts are truly a rare occurrence and that they are more times than not the exception and not the rule. With that said, in today's world a good majority of posts that go viral touch upon many of the pointers above but it seems that many incorporated the use of lists within the content, are posts that make people laugh and/or feel entertained or excited, or contain inspirational quotes that help to inspire people from day to day.
For content marketing experts, the crème Brule of informative content and creative social media posts are truly those that, overtime, find a successful path to the ever popular world of viral social media content.

Report: Those Close To N.C. State's C.J. Leslie "Optimistic" Of His Return
N.C. State men's basketball forward C.J. Leslie has yet to make a decision about whether to enter the NBA Draft or return to school, but according to Jeff Goodman of CBS, those close to him are "optimistic" that he'll return.
[tweet https://twitter.com/GoodmanCBS/status/190793094722097153 align='center']
Leslie said earlier this week that he expect to make a decision by the end of the week and that he was "leaning a little bit one way," according to Star News Online.
"Last year we definitely ended on a good note and we did a lot of things people didn't think that we'd be able to do," Leslie said. "That's definitely good for us and good for me, and it's definitely going to play a part in my decision."

UTMN offers foreign citizens flagship master's programs
According to the Sociocenter, the Federal State Autonomous Scientific Institution Center for Sociological Research, the most sought-after specialties include engineering, medicine, jurisprudence and social sciences.
The University of Tyumen invites all talented students to join master's and doctoral degree programs.
Today, 64 students from neighboring countries (Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine) and 16 students from far-abroad countries (USA, China, France, Syria, Iran, Togo, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Afghanistan) are studying for a master's degree.
There are 16 postgraduate students from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine and 19postgraduate students from foreign countries (Yemen, Palestine, Iraq, France, Bulgaria, Cote d'Ivoire, Estonia, China, Nigeria, Guinea, Vietnam).
Thus, 115 foreigners have chosen UTMN to receive modern and high-quality Russian education.
"The number of international students should continue to grow as this corresponds to the strategic objectives of our country. Furthermore, we should integrate the most successful graduates into regional science as much as possible," said Valery Falkov, Rector of the University of Tyumen.
UTMN offers foreign citizens flagship master's programs at the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities, the School of Advanced Studies (Digital Cultures and Media Production), the Institute of Environmental and Agricultural Biology (Plant Biosecurity) as well as other programs in biology, philology, linguistics, IT- technologies and engineering.
It should be mentioned that in 2018 UTMN became a co-organizer of the International Olympiad "Open Doors: Russian Scholarship Project" for prospective Master's degree students.
The International Olympiad gives all non-Russian citizens a chance for an early admission to a tuition-free Master's program at one of the top universities in Russia. The registration is open until January 31, 2019.

Asphalt roof shingles are the most popular and economical sort of residential roofing material. They are available in many different colours and styles. They are also fairly durable; lots of asphalt roof shingles now take a 130 mph wind rating and come with warranties of up to 50 decades.
Asphalt roof shingles are made from fiberglass infused with asphalt. The granules offer shade, UV protection, and algae resistance. They are available in many diverse styles, the two most common of them being three-tab and architectural roof shingles.
They typically take a 60 mph wind rating as much as a 25 year guarantee. Due to the flat silhouette of a 3 tab roof shingle as well as its ability to shed water fast, 3-tabs are often the most acceptable for lower pitched roofs in North Carolina. Architectural roofing shingles also called dimensional, laminated or composite shingles, possess a heavier base mat with several layers of added material. Architectural shingles continue into some 130 mph wind rating and up to 50 year warranties. The two types are different aesthetically and a lot of men and women favor the architectural shingles, which also weigh roughly 50 percent over the three tab shingles. This makes them survive more than the 3 tab kind of shingle.
Echo Hills Roof Repair is a licensed licensed roof shingle applicator to all substantial shingle manufacturers.
The most notable quality of clay and concrete roof tiles is that they endure a couple of nature's toughest weather, such as wind, rain, hail, earthquakes as well as flame. On most programs, Echo Hills Roof Repair utilized Polyfoam Adhesive to adhere tile to roof decks. Polyfoam provides the ideal performance in hurricanes and adds a level of insulation for energy efficiency.
Since tiles are set up separately, the airspace around them creates natural ventilation that supplies a thermal barrier out of heat transfer to the roof deck. This gives energy savings by reducing the peak load demand by different hours, which directly affects structures in both cold and hot climates.
Concrete and clay roof tiles are found in an amazingly huge array of finishes and colors, which vary from 1 color to a matrix of up to five colors. Which range from flat to barrel-shaped, and offering striking differences in layout, concrete tiles can simulate traditional clay tiles, wood shake, slate and rock. Lots of women and men favor tile due to the unmatched beauty, flexibility and security. Additionally it is very economical because of its lifespan of 50 — 100 decades or longer.
Tile roofs are also simple to fix and require limited maintenance, and it is more typically limited to the roof gutters, flashings and ventilation in relation to the tile itself. Furthermore, because clay and concrete tile do not deplete natural resources because they are made from naturally occurring substances, they are prized as green, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Request Echo Hills Roofing around tile roof to your next roofing project.
One of the fastest growing divisions of the roofing business, metal roofing is growing in popularity everywhere due to its many positive qualities — it is long lasting, energy efficient, and safer than other kinds of roofs. This also indicates that in some regions, metal roofing can lessen the homeowner's insurance premiums significantly.
Elegance and beauty aren't qualities which individuals are accustomed to attributing to metal roofs, but during the years, technology has united what has been exceptional durability with modern elegance and beauty due to the awesome capacity to replicate such roof styles as Spanish tile, wood shake and slate. Architectural designs also have standing nickel and stone coated metal roofs.
Even though the initial investment is higher, metal roofing saves money in the long run. Furthermore, metal can be made to seem like almost any roof materials. Unlike other kinds of roof materials, such as asphalt, metal roofing does not absorb heat; it reflects heat, which makes it extremely energy efficient. In addition, metal roofing is extremely wind resistant, doesn't crack, peal, break or rust. Metal roof is incredibly lightweight, and doesn't stain or flow.
There are plenty of myths about metal roofing which will have to be dispelled. By way of instance, metal roofing does not increase the probability of light striking your own residence. It truly disperses the energy during the building. It is not noisy as it is installed with solid sheathing, which really silences rain, hail and other bad weather. The coatings in metal roof prevent rusting and accept long-term paint colors. Providing a 150 mph wind rating, it will not dent.
Your office is the lifeblood of your business. Occasionally it can be easy to forget about the condition of your company's roof. Over the span of time, your roofing requires a beating from Echo Hills's harsh, cold climate, torrential rain and wind.

International credit rating agency Moody's announced on Tuesday that the outlook for Egypt's banking system remains Negative, reflecting the continuing political and social tensions as well as the "government's strained finances".
"Against the backdrop of the unsettled security situation and political climate, the banks' operating environment will remain difficult," said Constantinos Kypreos, Senior Credit Officer at Moody's Investors Service. "This is because the outlook for foreign investment, tourism and consumer confidence remains weak, leading to subdued credit growth and low business generation for banks."
Moody's said that the banks' exposure to the Caa1 rated government debt poses a credit risk and ties their ability to meet long-term financial obligations to sovereign default risk.
"Banks' thin capital buffers are also insufficient to absorb potential losses under Moody's scenario analysis," the international agency added.
The report, titled "Banking System Outlook", indicated that banks would not face funding shortages due to their strong deposit bases. According to Moody's, customer deposits comprise over 76% of the banking assets as of September 2013.
The rating agency added that the pool of deposits in the bank allows them to operate with minimum reliance on foreign funding and riskier markets. The report said that banks will face some challenges regarding liquidity and profitability, however.
"Banks face a liquidity squeeze in foreign currency, as the government maintains currency and exchange controls," Moody's said.
The report added that the banks' profitability is under increasing pressure, a result of "rising loan-loss provisioning charges, lower interest rates and declining government bond yields."Providing forecasts for the banking system, Moody's pointed out that over the next 12-18 months, banks' exposure to government securities will rise.
"The government continues to rely on local banks to fill the funding gap in the absence of foreign funding and continues to run high budget deficits," the international rating agency noted, adding that "the high exposure to sovereign paper is the major credit risk for linking the banking system's credit profile directly to that of the Egyptian sovereign."
Moody's report noted that government's ability to support the banking system has significantly diminished.
The agency also forecasted that Egypt's gross domestic product (GDP) would reach around 2.9% in 2014.
Moody's stated that the Egyptian economy could regain strength over the medium-term because it is "relatively large and diversified".
Earlier in October, the international agency announced that it is maintaining its negative outlook and Caa1 sovereign rating on Egypt due to ongoing economic and political uncertainty since the 25 January Revolution.
"Political uncertainty and turmoil in Egypt since the eruption of the revolution in January 2011 remain a constraint on the country's credit profile," Moody's said, adding that the "Fiscal deficits have widened sharply as heightened social tensions led to higher wage and subsidy expenditures, while weak economic conditions have also depressed [Egypt's] revenue performance."

Patient engagement is an essential part of health care. When patients are involved in their own care, it supports lifelong health in the same way that strong bones support the body.
Yet engagement is like a muscle that patients and health care professionals must strengthen and sustain. To enhance treatment and communication, providers, health administrators and staff must become something like personal trainers in the realm of patient awareness and action.
Spotting Engagement Weak Points
Engagement is about more than patient compliance or following orders. It is a state of action, in which patients become willing and able collaborators in their health care experience.
One obstacle to increasing engagement is the initial discomfort that many patients feel when prompted to become a partner in their care. For example, a patient's digital skills might be limited, hindering their ability to use emerging health care apps. Others may be fluent with technology, but are unconvinced that such tools will be effective or convenient for them.
These patients aren't necessarily less invested in their health. They simply have not learned the basic "exercises" of patient engagement. Learning new techniques requires overcoming the habit of inactivity in health care decisions.
Finding the Engagement Sweet Spot
Each type of patient requires a different training plan to increase engagement, but some tools have the potential for more general application. DHA Connected Health's podcast "A Better Night's Sleep," which I helped produce along with Dr. Julie Kinn, is one of those tools that can benefit a broad audience.
The platform is a promising patient engagement tool for a couple of reasons:
By listening to leading experts and learning ways to improve sleep habits, both groups get the "reps" they need to build mental muscles for engagement. It is a stepping stone to more in-depth exploration of their own health.
Building a Culture of Engagement
As health care professionals, we must recognize that patient engagement is everybody's job. It can feel like a long, uphill climb. But just as everyone is capable of building muscle through regular exercise, everyone has the ability to become more engaged in one's own care through consistent encouragement and guidance.
By focusing on small gains and consistent messaging at every level of the health care team, we can develop a system that is truly patient-centric and encourages patients to co-create their health care experience. The results: better outcomes, higher satisfaction, lower cost. These payoffs are all worth the sweat and hard work.

Mary Berry on The Great British Bake Off series four and the RT Audience Award
"It is very exciting for all of us... we want the Radio Times viewers to vote for us"
Queen of baking Mary Berry, her judging sidekick Paul Hollywood and the team behind hit cooking competition The Great British Bake Off have found themselves nominated for not one but two awards at this year's TV Baftas. One of which is the Radio Times Audience Award…
Speaking to RadioTimes.com at the Bafta nominees party, Mary Berry said: "It is very exciting for all of us… We've all been talking about it. And we want the Radio Times viewers to vote for us – I hope they do!"
Asked why she thought viewers should get voting for the sweet-toothed show, the 78-year-old trend-setter said: "It's got everybody baking… we've converted people to enjoy baking," before adding: "It's a great thing to share, and once you've made a few cakes, the whole family enjoy it and obviously are very proud of the people who are making them. It's a great thing to do together, a great family thing."
GBBO is known for its dedicated fan following, with the hashtag #GBBO trending during every transmission and hundreds of you getting out your spatulas to join in. "We get a lot of emails [from fans]," said Berry. "The great joy is when we get emails from children and they send maybe a picture of some cupcakes and they stand behind, absolutely straight, and you can see them beam and how proud they are."
Mary and Paul are currently back in the iconic tent, getting their bake on for the fourth series of The Great British Bake Off, and fans have reason to be excited, thinks Berry: "We're on the fourth programme and the standard is ever better."
The Great British Bake Off has recently had some competition in the form of the newly recommissioned Great British Sewing Bee. With WI sewing teacher May and dapper Saville Row sewer Patrick as judges on the new show, there have been plenty of comparisons between the crafty duo and Mary and Paul. But that's not a comparison Mary thinks is worth making…
"I didn't really [see any similarities], no," said Berry. "But I did enjoy it… I thought that was great and I was awfully pleased that the older lady won. Wasn't she lovely?"
The Great British Bake Off is nominated in this year's Bafta Radio Times Audience Award, the only Bafta which can be voted for by the British public. See the shortlist and vote for your favourite here

In Episode SH044 of Star Hopping…
We'll examine the Orion region, and show you how to find three great nebulae: the Running Man Nebula in Orion (NGC 1977), the Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118), and Hubble's Variable Nebula (NGC 2261).
Well once again it is Thanksgiving in the US, and I am in the Florida Keys as usual with my family. However I did shoot this episode back at the observatory studio this year, so we won't have any noisy wind blowing like we did in Episode 9 of Star Hopping. But interestingly enough in that episode we were looking right in the same area that we'll be exploring tonight.
Before I get into tonight's Star Hopping targets, I do want to recognize, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, how thankful I am to have all of you continuing to watch Star Hopping on a regular basis. We have right around 400 subscribers on our YouTube channel, and are pushing 600 followers on Facebook. You all have stuck with me for over a year of the show, and I just want to say Thank You for your time and continued interest in Star Hopping.
So we have three interesting objects tonight, one very bright, one very faint, and one very small! Let's start off easy with the Big Bright One (otherwise known as a BBO!) We'll find it, right after this message…

I initially came to live in Winchelsea after closing my Record Shop in Northcote. I had already moved to Point Lonsdale a couple of years before, seeking a quieter life than Melbourne offered, after a major heart attack slowed me down. I found the coastal lifestyle made up for the inconvenience of commuting.
A position advertised in the Geelong Advertiser was asking for a Coordinator of Programs at a day centre for the elderly in Winchelsea. My background in Nursing secured me the position. Fortunately, I was offered an old farmhouse to rent just outside Winchelsea and eventually we built here. So, I guess you would say that it was circumstantial that I came to be living in Winchelsea, but the location has always proved convenient.
I love being close to both the Otway Ranges with the wonderful parks and reserves, walks and waterfalls, and many other natural attractions that drew me into taking up photography again. My decade as a record shop owner delayed my passion but now was the right time. I purchased a new camera and was deeply engaged once more.
Living in Winchelsea meant that I was close to so much natural beauty for inspiration. My studio is named Still Point, referring to a calm place. My work often falls into the quite abstract category, rather than the usual grand landscape category, and even though you might say "That could have been taken anywhere", the inspiration came from where I was at the time, and most of the time that has been a calm place on the Surf Coast and in the hinterland of the Otways.
My main interests are abstractions, creations and derelictions, which incidentally was the title to an exhibition I had in Melbourne several years ago. I love nature and the world around us, but I love to look closely at small parts of creation rather than the big picture. Sometimes I choose to abstract the subject matter because this seems to tell the story better; sometimes I do this by design and sometimes it just happens unconsciously…and sometimes it works! When you remove some of the reference points in a composition, the viewer has to work to understand it in the light of their own experience, and as someone once said: "The image too easily understood is the image too easily forgotten".
I am also drawn to what happens when the passage of time and the processes of nature work their transforming magic on the creations of human hands. In this process there is often a subtle and strange beauty that results…this is what Japanese culture knows as "wabi sabi", and it intrigues and draws me in. I love rusting and decaying objects, the changes in texture and colour intrigue, amaze and inspire me.
You can see my work by appointment at my small home/studio/gallery in Winchelsea called Still Point Studio. I am open to the public during the Surf Coast Arts Trail on the second weekend of August. I also take my work to two regular markets: Aireys Inlet Market which is held on the second Sunday each month from October to June (and every Sunday in January), and the Barwon Heads Market which is held on the last Saturday of every month throughout the year, and every Saturday through December and January. I have also had a book published by the American boutique bookmaker, Blurb, and you can view or purchase it at: http://www.blurb.com/books/3243284-abstractions-creations-derelictions
Feel free to contact me or come and say hi at the next market or art trail:

This will be the last entry from St. Kitts. 73!
Amateur radio operators travel to far away and exotic places to communicate with other "hams". Such an expedition is often called a "DXpedition", an expedition to do distance communication. The "100 pound DXpedition" describes my quest to do these DXpeditions with a minimum of equipment and maximum fun.
Hope you are feeling better. Have had to travel back feeling poorly myself and I empathize with you on your return leg.
All the best, safe travels and speedy recovery!
I'm sorry to hear that you've now gotten the flu on top of everything else.
But look at it this way: You have used up all your bad luck for the rest of the year, and probably for a good part of next year as well!
Hope you feel better soon, and hope that your trip home is quiet and uneventful.
David, K2DBK

Mothers Day
I had an AMAZING mother's day. I think it was the best I've had so far. Drew made me some preciousness at school, Sean & Drew each got me cards and flowers, and although we started the day in the ER with D, we ended with an amazing family dinner. We also got to spend the day with Grandma and Grandpa. I completely respect and admire Grandma Glouner as a mother. She raised an amazing man, my husband's father, and continues to be an loving matriarch for our family, so celebrating this special holiday with her made it even better.

(This is an abridged version of a story that appears in the March 1 of Investor Intelligence.)
Codie Sanchez is a "traditional, conservative, risk-centric investor at heart."
But after taking the time to analyze and understand the cannabis industry, Sanchez, a partner at early stage investment funds CS Ventures and Magma Partners, recognized the opportunities underway and emerging in this new market.
In the latest issue of MJBizDaily's Investor Intelligence, Sanchez shares tips – in her own words – on how to

Just an update. Shoot I am really failing at blogging, I can't believe it's been over a week again.
I went to two Swell Sister meetings last week, very exciting stuff happening. We have an art show scheduled for December for Second Saturday. Second Saturday is a regular art event here in Sacramento. For more info go to http://www.2nd-sat.com/ This will be my very first art show, I am so jazzed about it. We are meeting to plan the evening, writing our bios, getting press releases together, planning the reception, and oh yeah thinking about what to paint… well I am thinking about painting cause that is what I do. Other sisters have other art that they will show. It is all exciting. Our show will be at the Coffee Garden http://www.thecoffeegardenonline.com/ a local coffee house. It's a little off the beaten path for Second Saturday, but there is another gallery next to it and they have been doing a Second Saturday event for a while so we have high hopes! Our theme for the show is 'Gather the Women'. I am still contemplating what my subject might be!!
I am also involved in the current Swell Sisters Indi project. There are 9 of us, (I think 9 maybe 10), each of us started a painting or piece of art. Then we passed off what we did to another sister to work on. I am posting both my piece I started and the piece I worked on second. But remember these are both UNFINISHED works in progress! The piece with the drummer, there was only the background when I got it to work on. But in that background I saw him! Whala!! He has a creepy unfinished face, his lips are not right, and underdeveloped hands, I had to force myself to stop working on him cause he bugs me unfinished and he's just staring at me through those dark glasses! Smirking at me... but I get to pass him off Friday so I'll be ok! :) The girl, I started her, put her down and then worked on her again because I found out I had longer that I thought. First it was just the background and her, no head or arms. Then I added the mirror, with the reflection with a head and messy hair and the light. I see it as a self image kind of thing. It will be interesting to see what the other sisters do with it!
Oh and more painting at home. We are now working on Lindsey's old room, our soon to be new office. Her room was dark blue ceilings, bright green walls and had hot pink trim. We decided to just paint the trim, we could live with the blue and green. So I bought a gallon of paint, well last week Joe accidentally dropped the paint can. Yep. Paint all over the carpet. Yikes!! But we worked quickly, scooped up what paint we could, shop vac'd out the excess we couldn't scoop up then I steam cleaned over and over and over again. Really the paint doesn't even show on the carpet, so that was good. BUT… now that we are almost done, guess what, we have about a half of a quart too little paint. Just about what we lost. So I guess it's off to Lowes again we go! Once it's painted we can move the office, then next, MY ART STUDIO!!!!!!
And last a Chester update. He made it through the surgery great! He had to wear a cone on his head for 2 weeks, until the staples were out. That cone was a pain, he kept just plowing through things, running into walls, I thought he was going to break his neck and he almost knocked me down more than once. But it's all good now and he's back to his sweet loving self!!! That's all for now, be well! Tj.

"Dr. Nethers? Neil Nethers?" The nurse asked.
"Dr. Sudekus is expecting you."
Neil followed down and through the corridors of Allister Psychiatric Hospital past the moans and screams coming from the other side of the thick metal doors that lined the dark beige colored walls.
As they passed a man kneeling and working on a control panel, Neil said, "Why are there high voltage signs posted everywhere?"
"To keep them in their rooms of course. Where did you say you were coming from?" The nurse quipped curiously.
"It's funny you mention that. I can't se…"
"Hello, Dr. Nethers." Dr. Sudekus thrust his hand out.
"Hello, Doctor," Neil returned.
As Neil went to shake hands, he caught a glimpse of a figure crossing the doorway behind Dr. Sudekus. The shadow seemed to move with purpose and determination. Even though it appeared to walk it practically floated and blurred into the surrounding background,
"Let's get started right away doctor," Dr. Sudekus turned and headed toward the nearest steel door. "We keep the illest patients closest to our offices in case we need to act," he said pushing the key-like object into the small opening on the door. "Prepare yourself, Dr. Nethers. This woman has been here since the beginning. She has grown powerful over the many years."
Flipping a switch on the wall, Neil heard the hum of electricity begin to subside. Dr. Sudekus opened the door and motioned Neil to enter behind himself.
"This is Natalie. Try not to look directly into her eyes for too long. She has, uh, she has abilities—let's say—beyond the others."
Neil stood before a woman strapped to an upright table by bounds the glowed blue with energy. The woman he looked at couldn't have been more than thirty years old from what he could tell. Most of her face was covered by a metal mask with just slits for eyes, a nose bar, and a solid cover for her mouth, "I thought you said she'd been here the longest? She's fairly young isn't she?"
"Natalie's been here eighty years," Dr. Sudekus replied, moving closer to her. "Hello, dear. This is Dr. Nethers, he just joined us," with that she let loose a scream from beneath the mask that nearly knocked them both over as they ran from her room. Slamming the door, flipping the switch, and inserting the key-like device again, "She gets like this sometimes."
As Neil was about to respond another shaded figure emerged from the locked door and passed in between him and Dr. Sudekus. "What the hell is that?" He nearly yelled
"Oh, you don't remember yet do you?"
"Remember what?"
"Well, our electrified cells keep the souls in, but the living can go where they want. Dr. Sudekus placed his hand on Neil's shoulder, "and this isn't hell. Think of it more like weigh station, and we're sort of like handlers, zookeepers if you will."
"But that means that I'm, that you're…"
"Dead, Neil. We are all dead. Welcome to Allister Psychiatric Hospital. Asylum for the deceased and insane."
