1. I'm a student midwife! I'm currently in my first year, but I don't talk about it too much on my blog because we have to be careful about confidentiality etc. But, I am absolutely loving it, even though it is far harder than I ever imagined it would be. (Just as an added extra seeing as I'm sharing ... I've delivered two babies myself and seen 16 babies being born in total)!
2. My parents currently have a Shetland pony staying in their back garden that my brother decided to rescue. Aswell, as about 16 chickens, 2 cats and a dog.
3. I'm engaged!!!!
4. I met my fiancé at school when we were 11, we started going out at 15 and have made it through university! So it can happen, and don't let people tell you it's only a school relationship if you feel like it's more!
5. I play rugby for my university. I play full contact, and on my first match won forward of the match and had to down a can of pear cider. It was the first time I've ever drank cider and I failed miserably :)
6. I am also part of the knitting society.
7. I absolutely love chocolate and Diet Coke, in fact I'm drinking a can now and am seriously contemplating going to the shop to get some chocolate.
8. I am also addicted to the Daily Mail. I know everyone says it's crap, but I would rather keep up to date with some sort of news than not pay attention at all.
9. Unfortunately, one of my close friends from school passed away this summer.
10. My surname is Mee. Yes, really.
11. Honey Boo Boo Child brightens me up when I'm feeling down. Haha.
Some of my favourite quotes include;
'I wish I had an extra finger ..... so I could grab more cheeseballs'
'I'm going to vegetate my fat ass'
'There's nothing wrong with being a little gay ... everybody's a little gay'
12. I had an operation under general anaesthetic when I was 8 to remove a needle that I got stuck in my hand when I was doing handstands on some material... the day before we were going on holiday.
13. That same holiday, my dad trapped my fingers of the same hand in the car door and I broke them and we had to go to a French hospital.
14. I'm an emotional hoarder, and literally keep everything e.g. cards, cinema tickets, from anyone/anything that means something to me.
15. I really don't like flying, but I have been lucky enough to go to some amazing places in the world. I've been to China, Russia, New York, Dublin, Sicily and many other lovely places, especially when me and Mike went round Europe together a couple of summers ago.
16. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother, all of whom have partners who we are very close to (so that's a pretty big family), and my eldest sister has Cystic Fibrosis, and she also has a little boy!
17. I love going to the cinema! It's definitely one of my favourite things to do!
18. I'm rubbish at staying in touch with people, but I make a lot of effort to see people if I can and when I do see them it's like we've never been apart :)
19. I ran a half marathon for Birmingham Children's Hospital, and I reached my goal of completing it in under 2 hours!!
20. I'm from Stratford upon Avon ... where Shakespeare was born, yet have never been to his birthplace museum.
Hopefully, you now know a little bit more about me!

George Clooney has perhaps learned an important lesson -- malaria makes traveling the globe a lot less fun than it should be.
Malaria drug: An earlier version of this article misspelled the name of the preventive drug mefloquine.
Sure, it's noble to go on philanthropic missions around the world, helping those who can't help themselves, but it's probably hard to feel noble when shaking from the chills. And Clooney should know. The actor apparently has just recovered from malaria, which he contracted in Africa earlier this month, media reports said Thursday.
CNN's Piers Morgan on Wednesday night tweeted that Clooney was fighting the illness and posts this clip of the actor talking about his condition. Clooney apparently got the disease for a second time while in southern Sudan during the pivotal election for independence. People magazine ran a statement from a spokesman Thursday saying the actor is completely over the illness.
Malaria is a serious, sometimes fatal disease contracted by a mosquito bite, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. And Clooney's illness highlights the risk that travelers face. Symptoms include high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like illness. So take care -- take preventive drugs such as chloroquine phosphate and mefloquine before you go. Here's more information from the CDC.

This April marks the 13th annual Oral Cancer Awareness Month, a time for patients and dental professionals to promote awareness for oral cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It is important to note that oral cancer cases are on the rise and individuals must take proactive steps to prevent the formation of this serious condition. The Oral Cancer Foundation urges Americans to take part in this initiative by learning more about oral cancer, who it affects, and how a screening from your local dentist may be an invaluable method of early detection and treatment.
The American Cancer Foundation estimates that about 35,000 Americans will develop oral cancer in 2012 (i). It is further predicted that 6,800 individuals will die from oral cancer over the upcoming year. Unfortunately, awareness for this common and tragically fatal disease is at an all-time low. This April, the Oral Cancer Foundation celebrates the 13th annual Oral Cancer Awareness Month. It is a time for doctors and patients alike to open the lines of communication regarding oral cancer while promoting awareness for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

In this [article](http://en.audiofanzine.com/sound-technique/editorial/articles/infected-mushroom-sound-alchemy.html) for audio fanzine, Eisen from Infected Mushroom says, "For a mixer we use the Yamaha 01V96 version 2. Which is great, in the live show we just push the button and 99% of the soundcheck is done. The only thing I have left to do is just final EQ for the system, and that's it."more
According to Colin Newman's of [Colin Newman & Corrado Izzo](http://equipboard.com/band/colin-newman-corrado-izzo), [Wire](http://equipboard.com/band/wire), [Githead](http://equipboard.com/band/githead), and [Spigel*Newman*Colin*Malka](http://equipboard.com/band/spigel-newman-colin-malka), gear list at [Swim Studio](http://www.colinewman.com/studio.html), he has a Yamaha 01V96 V2.more
Quoted as Yamaha Artistmore
He uses the Yamaha 01v96 V2 for his personal monitoring and for sending one stereo channel of entire drums mix to the FOH.more
I really love this mixer because it's just so extremely flexible and has a pristine sound quality. I really hate this mixer because it does add nothing to my sound and lets me do all the hard work.
It's a bit like the average Japanese car: What it does, it does very good (clean, precise mixing and flexible routing) and reliable (never had any breakdown) but it's at times quite uninspiring and does suffer some "workflow" issues (e.g. where you can tweak the EQ of two tracks at the same time: select on track, tweak, select the other track, tweak). Nowadays, most of this could also be done in the box.
What I fail to understand is, that newer versions of the 01v96 came with the free FX bundles for free but existing users would still have to pay a ridiculous amount to unleash them.
The only reason I'm keeping it is because I did not yet find anything better within that price range but one day it will go.

Babes" is the kind of show folks are going to disagree about.
Some are going to love it, some hate it. Some are going to think it enlightened, some exploitative.
The bottom line on the pilot for the new Fox television show about three sisters, each of whom weighs more than 200 pounds, is this: By the end of the half hour, it is clear that the producers have tried to make viewers care about the women as individuals. And for a show to do that -- in a culture and an advertising environment that lives by the expression "you can never be too thin" -- is a lot.
The sitcom, which airs at 8:30 tonight on WBFF-TV (Channel 45), stars Wendie Jo Sperber, Susan Peretz and Lesley Boone as the Gilbert sisters -- Charlene, Darlene and Marlene, respectively. Darlene's the oldest; Marlene's the youngest. Tonight's pilot explains how they all come to live inCharlene's tiny apartment and deals with Charlene's search for a job.

In about a month GameCube owners will finally be able to get their hands on THQ's newest wrestler, WWE Day of Reckoning. The Yuke's developed title features more than 40 superstars, a host of Legends, and all the popular venues and play styles that combine to make the WWE a dominating force in the television arena today. The game also boasts an incredibly deep create-a-superstar feature that is clamped hand-in-hand to what could be called the most robust addition to last year's WrestleMania game: a compelling new story mode.
We've spent several weeks exploring the story mode in the game. Below, we take you through it.
The Full Story
Thinking about taking The Rock or Triple H through the story mode in Day of Reckoning? Think again. The mode does not include the option to play with existing superstars. Instead, it has been designed from the ground up to revolve around aspiring fighters. You have two choices: you can ether select a character -- a generic model type with pre-determined attributes -- from the game's template. (There are roughly eight different choices from the start.) Or you can utilize the game's impressive create-a-superstar mode to build a wrestler from scratch.
The latter is the preferable path because you can design your ideal pro from head-to-toe, literally. The create-a-superstar option is so well made and runs so deep that virtually every facet of a model is customizable. You can select head shape, size, jaw line, mouth line, width, eyes, nose, hair, color, shoulders and chest build, arms, stomach, waist, thighs, calves, feet -- the list goes on and on. You can change skin color, texture, add hair or muscles, add veins or bruises, scars or cuts -- whatever floats your boat. You can select masks, facial expressions, wardrobe, tattoos, and more. And when you're done with the looks, you can perfect your future superstar's attributes. Want him to be a brawler? Then up his strength. Want an acrobat? Set his fight style to high-flyer. Then direct your character's ring entrance from camera angles to music selections, opening animation, pyrotechnics and much more. You can and likely will spend several hours first creating your perfect wrestler, and then several more perfecting his look and style.
For the record, we created a sizzlingly sexy superstar whose nickname is Girlie Man. He goes by the stage name Assy, though. Assy is a handsome devil with bright red hair wings, a diseased face and silver eyes. We've included a screenshot of the powerhouse in today's article.
You begin your long, arduous journey to the top of the WWE at the very bottom. You're a nobody. A bruiser. Little more than a wannabe. You've won a couple of matches here and there, but you're hardly proficient. Still, you're determined to make a name for yourself. The story in Day of Reckoning unfolds in-between matches in cut-scenes running real-time on the game engine. There is no voice work, unfortunately, a shortcoming that THQ hopes to address in next year's version. Still, player models are highly realistic and are better portrayed through the use of believable facial and body animations. Text appears on-screen to indicate what each person is saying.
A scene opens to Vince McMahon's office. The head of the WWE picks up the receiver of his phone and says, "Okay, I'm ready for the next one. Send him in." You enter. McMahon takes a look at you and gives you the standard speech. He says that you graduated from wrestling training, top of your class. That you were "a big fish in a small pond." But that none of it means anything. He explains that you'll have to start all over again and -- possibly -- through hard work and training, you might get a chance to play with the big boys. Finally, he asks if you're up to the challenge.
Of course, you are, and so you report to WWE Developmental, where you can first tweak your character and game settings in the locker room. Next, you'll meet the Coach, who will set you on the right track. You'll start small. The Coach will simply want to see if you're capable. You'll have to brawl with a couple of bums and trainees. After each match the game tallies up all of your actions and awards you a score, which translates to cash. It'll gauge successful strikes and grapples, strikes and grapples countered, stamina used, deciding move and score a total.
If you're good enough, you'll eventually impress the Coach and he'll decide to introduce you to former WWE general manager Mr. Heyman, who will set you off on a series of matches to really prove what you've got. The game picks up in difficulty around here. Instead of merely winning, you might have to win in under five minutes, or perform two finishing moves before you pin your opponent. Meanwhile, the competition steady grows more challenging.
The formula continues. You continue to win and you climb the ranks. It isn't long before you're competing in less popular WWE venues and fighting rising stars, and before you know it you're in the big time.
Stay tuned over the next couple weeks for movies that show off the story mode in motion.

The document addresses certain issues related to the enlistment, continuation and retirement from the military. In particular, it will allow soldiers drafted under various types of contracts during a special period to continue service under a new contract or retire at their will.
"It allows you to terminate contracts with those who want to return home, but at the same time not in the least reduce the combat effectiveness and readiness of units, especially those deployed in the ATO zone to protect our state," Poroshenko told Minister of Defense Stepan Poltorak and General Staff Chief Viktor Muzhenko as he signed the law.
"The citizens of Ukraine who concluded virtually unlimited contracts during a special period are given the opportunity to restore justice and allow commanders to effect their dismissal," the president pointed out.
He also noted the conclusion of contracts progresses as planned.
"We are rapidly approaching 70,000 [contract soldiers], and it testifies to a very high level of patriotism and readiness to defend Ukraine with arms in hands," Poroshenko said. "We can really argue we've built a new Ukrainian army over 2.5 years," he added.

Silent Vaughan continues to lurk, but why?
Instead, after requests for a post-match interview were turned down by the ECB, it was left to Sajid Mahmood to speak on Vaughan's behalf. "He's still vocal, still his usual self. It's good to have him back," said Mahmood, who produced a decent but inconclusive spell of 2 for 61 and spent most of his time fielding various enquiries about the form and fitness of a man he has never played under in Test cricket.
It's becoming a recurring theme on this trip, because Vaughan's presence in Australia is veering towards the supernatural. He's the captain without a voice, the minister without portfolio, the familiar face among the anonymous rookies of the ECB Academy. And the harder the ECB attempt to play down his presence, the more they stir their own pot of innuendo.
And so, we ask again, what on earth is Vaughan doing in this match? It's a reasonable question and it deserved a reasonable answer, especially given Duncan Fletcher's suggestion to the BBC yesterday. "There's not enough cricket between now and the third, fourth and fifth Tests," said Fletcher, "especially cricket where he has to stay in the field for a long time, probably two days standing on that leg, and for a long innings. So until he can do that and he's confident in his knee we won't consider Michael Vaughan."
So here instead, courtesy of the ECB, is Mahmood's take on the situation: "He was a huge success in the Ashes last year, and to have him back in the field was great for the lads." So, given that all we are can to do is speculate, Vaughan must be out there geeing up a dispirited side and getting them back on track for the last three Tests. I bet that'll do wonders for Andrew Flintoff's sapping morale. After all, leading by inspiration is meant to be his one true talent as a captain.
Make no mistake, Vaughan deserves sympathy for his plight and admiration for his refusal to bow to what has long seemed the inevitable. Like Jonny Wilkinson, his rise and fall is a tale lifted straight from a Greek tragedy - the glory of his finest hour giving way instantly to pain, suffering and recriminations. But there is a time and a place for such a public show of single-mindedness, and right here, right now - on the eve of England's make-or-break moment in an Ashes series - is emphatically neither.
Before the tour began, those in the know - most of whom are in and around the press box and the England camp - were scoffing at the prospect of Vaughan making an Ashes comeback. Many in fact questioned whether he would ever be seen on a cricket field again. Now, however, who knows what we are to believe. England have already shown themselves to be obsessively fixated with the team of 2005. Is it really so improbable that Vaughan is about to be parachuted into the fray?
Vaughan is not a quitter. That much is abundantly clear, and so there is a perverse logic in having him hanging around so close to this Ashes squad, so close to their final, final, chance. But that's all it is. Perverse. In days gone by, before he lost faith in the men at his disposal, Fletcher would have backed his captain to the hilt - publicly, privately, and everywhere in between. And by captain, I mean Flintoff, who had to reiterate last week that he had been put in charge for all five Tests, and not Vaughan. Just in case Fletcher has forgotten.
Instead, Fletcher has thrown a hospital pass to his active captain by blaming him, through a mysterious source at The Daily Mail, for the selection disasters at Brisbane and Adelaide. Rumours, rumours. But now, what's this we read today? " It was the right choice to make [Freddie] captain and I'm not sure if he's getting the side he wants," said a certain Shane Warne in his Times column today.
Shane Who? Amid all the bickering, the struggle for the Ashes seems to have been forgotten. But at least we now know that Mahmood "put the ball in good areas" and "felt in good rhythm in the nets". All hope is not yet lost.

Get your local

Despite the very wet and unsettled weather, the signs of Spring are visible throughout the Mulkear catchment. Overall it has been an extremely mild winter with only very limited periods of prolonged cold.
While the land is still super-sutured grass growth has continued almost without interruption and now plant growth is taking life. Signs of new life abound. Trees along rivers in catchment are budding new shoots and many are in the early stages of leaf.
As we enter the first week of March 2014, the Lower Shannon is experiencing a massive spring tide and the Mulkear catchment is experiencing some welcome sunshine. Spring is an extremely busy time for a great many throughout the Mulkear catchment. Farmers involved with MulkearLIFE are busy calving, while others in the upper catchment are busy lambing. Given the level of rainfall over the eight weeks, many cattle are still indoors as the land is simply too wet to take them. It is hoped with a good dry spell cattle will be out of their winter housing within a matter of weeks.
Birds and wildlife are busy with young. Birds are busy searching for mates, food and nest materials. Along rivers and riverbanks dippers, grey wagtails and kingfishers are equally busy.
Unfortunately, the mild weather has also greatly assisted the early emergence of non-native invasive plant species.
It is expected that work on non-native invasives will recommence within the next two weeks. This will be spearheaded by Limerick County Council and the Office of Works.
In the coming months, normal or near normal spring and summer rainfall levels, and corresponding normal or near normal waters levels in the Mulkear River and tributaries will be key to MulkearLIFE achieving its objectives this year, the final year of operation of the project.

From News Services
Monday, April 4, 2005; Page B05
Mitch Hedberg, 37, a stand-up comedian who channeled his shyness into an act of offbeat musings, earning him a nationwide following and repeated appearances on the "Late Show with David Letterman," died March 30 in a hotel room in Livingston, N.J.
Pending the medical examiner's report, the cause of death appears to be a heart ailment, said his mother, Mary Hedberg. She said that her son, who struggled with drugs and alcohol, was born with a heart defect and frequently was anxious about his condition.
Hedberg said speculation that her son's death was drug-related was gossip. "It's not a secret Mitch used drugs. Whether that played a role in his death or not, we don't know," she said.
Mr. Hedberg made jokes about his drug use a staple of his act. He took a hiatus from performing for several months after he was arrested in May 2003 in Austin for felony possession of heroin.
Mr. Hedberg recently had completed a 44-city tour and was between dates on the East Coast. With his wife and opening act, Lynn Shawcroft, he toured constantly, most at home with an itinerant comedian's lifestyle.
Mr. Hedberg delivered absurdist, random observations in a spacey staccato. His long, dirty blond hair harkened to the image of a 1970s stoner.
His beatnik approach to the life of a stand-up contributed to his popularity among younger comedy fans. His act married a timid, slacker drawl with jokes that understated the absurdities of life in a consumer culture. The jokes came one after the other, with no apparent segues.
"Rice is great when you're hungry and want 2,000 of something," went one joke.
"I tried to walk into a Target, but I missed," went another.
His rambling, non-sequitur style often drew comparisons to Steven Wright, but Mr. Hedberg disagreed.
"If I made potato chips and put them in a can, people would say I was ripping off Pringles," he said. "But what if I put them in a bag?"
When casting directors chose him for productions, such as the film "Almost Famous" in 2000, it was sometimes to take advantage of his retro-1970s look.
In 1999, after Mr. Hedberg drew raves at the Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, Time magazine suggested that he could become the next Jerry Seinfeld. Television deals followed, although Mr. Hedberg never got his own sitcom. He wrote and directed the feature film "Los Enchiladas!" in 1999.
Mr. Hedberg was born in St. Paul, Minn. He overcame stage fright to become a comedian after high school, when he was living in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and working as a restaurant cook.
On the road doing low-paying gigs, he would sleep in the back of a pickup. Eventually, he moved to Seattle and became more established, although he still worked as a cook.
Besides his mother and his wife, he is survived by his father, Arnie, and two sisters.

Following on from the trailer for Dead Space 3 which was released back at the end of last month. EA games has now released a 20 minute video trailer showing gameplay, with narration by Executive Producer Steve Papoutsis.
The new trailer provides you with a in-depth look at how Isaac and his partner Carver will work their way through the frozen planet of Tau Volantis, in scene two of the new Dead Space game. Dead Space 3 is expected to arrive around March 2013, but nothing has been officially announced by EA Games at the present time.
Dead Space 3 will include new environments, co-op mechanics, weapons, enemies, and of course epic boss fights which have become the hall mark of the Dead Space Series.

There should be no box to begin with!
I was recently reading the profiles of the Association of MBAs regional committee and this phrase attracted my attention:
"[Derek Chesire believes] that 'out of the box' thinking does not exist: there simply should be no box to begin with".
Yes absolutely! I like this simple way to put it. I suppose what he really meant is that out of the box in fact does exist but is mostly ineffective at generating innovation and competitive advantage.
An organisation with a culture not conducive to creativity where knowledge sharing and spontaneous collaboration is not encouraged and rewarded, will eventually feel the need to ask from its employees to "think outside the box" in the hope that some good ideas will come out of the exercise. Out of the few good ideas that might come out, only very few of them (if any) will lead to an innovative implementation. This is because this process (idea through to implementation) requires an environment where mistakes are not only permitted but encouraged, where work outside initial job description and spontaneous collaboration is natural and rewarded.
When an organisation with an organisational culture not conducive to knowledge-sharing and creativity ask its employees to be creative, it is a bit like asking a group of junior mechanics to build a racing car from a pile of spare-parts, without the authorisation to collaborate with one another! You might obtain a car eventually but very unlikely competitive.
It's much more effective to let the group of mechanics organise themselves as a team and let them work out what they can build together. That way, they could come up with the next F1 concept car!

What should i title this?
We've friends coming up for the day tomorrow & we are so excited! Think i'll bake some cookies!
Duane got home last night & i'm so glad!!! I have to say i was surprised at how deeply & intensely i missed him!
I am not a particularly patriotic person if your definition of patriotism is blindly following our country's leaders. I didn't like Bush & i don't like Obama nor the direction either was/is taking.
I do love this country, its people, the ideals on which it was founded & the original intent of the founding fathers & the constitution. We have drifted so far from that. I am patriotic to the country as it was intended, not what it has become.
I am NOT a "God Bless America" person. I AM a person who advocates "America Honor God." There is a difference.
Regardless, i hope everyone is able to enjoy our weekend of celebrating the birthday of our country. Happy 4th of July! Happy birthday America! America honor God!
Pics from Duane's camera, last 2 years. BB has one of the best light shows in So Cal.
I wrote this part first, but it is long, & rather boring. About my search for a doc & frustration. You can skip it if you want.
Today i was reading the blog By His Grace Alone. She's a lot going on in her life right now, & she spoke of wanting just to be quiet. That was a thought that really resonated with me.
I've not done much the past few days. There is no reason i wasn't writing. I ALWAYS have plenty going on in my head. But somehow the just being quiet has been appropriate.
I'm still struggling with feeling myself lazy, & often i am. Once i've been not doing anything for a while it seems hard to motivate myself to be up doing. And, i'm still discouraged over knowing what i can do.
Think i mentioned this before, but by the time i realize i've pushed myself too hard it is too late. I really wish there was a line somewhere that i would know, "I can go this far but no farther," & it would be clear to me. But that is not how it works. Sometimes i think i'm not pushing myself hard enough, & what??? the next thing i know i've gone too far. It is the balance thing, but i've always had a hard time with balance.
But i AM doing something . . . I left "conventional" medicine as it is practiced by most American M.D.s about 3 years ago. I've worked with a number of alternative practices, but i'm finding "alternative" medicine is a very hit or miss thing. I've had really good results from a couple of things, mostly CranioSacral Therapy (from which i no longer need meds for migraines) & acupuncture (which did improve my energy levels, some). And of course Chiropractic. The Chiropractor i work with (professionally & for my own health) is outstanding. Still, there is no one looking at the big picture here, except me. And sometimes when you are too close to something it is hard to see the big picture.
Finding someone who can manage my unusual outlook is something else entirely. I've had a number of wonderful, caring, Christian M.D.s over the years. But one thing i found almost universal was that the more time they had been in practice the more paternal & condescending they became. I did not appreciate that at all, because as i learn more i believe very strongly that it is important to make responsible decisions based on the info i have & NOT place my care blindly in someone else's hands. Not even the best doctor out there. I believe this to be a universal need & that much of the problem we have with health care these days is that folks want a quick fix & are willing to put total control in someone else's hands. I've come to believe that most M.D.s do not see the big picture, either. They are very limited by the small box of "conventional medicine" of which they have been taught.
Another problem with finding someone is that many of the practitioners, even in alternative medicine, have "specialized" so that they only deal with a small portion or issue. Sis #3 has seen a doc she loves very much & trusts very much as well. And i've looked at her info many times. But she doesn't do "primary care," & she is very expensive.
So i would pay out of pocket something like $600 to see her a couple of times & STILL have to find a doc that does general care. (At this point i've not had a PAP since just after i lost Kaylee. Three & a half years. I'm not big on a lot of screenings, but that is one i should do occasionally.) It would irritate me greatly to spend that amount of money to see this doc my sis loves & then have to pay $150 out of pocket to see some other doc (that i would still have to find) to get that PAP done.
And over the past year or so i've done many online searches trying to find someone with whom i'd feel comfortable. Usually i get discouraged & walk away from it. However, i've been at a plateau of functioning for a long time now, i'm very discouraged, & need something to help facilitate me to improve.
I learned about something called "concierge" doctors. There is actually a TV program on right now about such a doctor, tho i do not believe what the program presents is accurate. Like most TV shows. Anyway, i looked as several different ones. In general, they charge a specific amount of money per month/per quarter/or per year & they treat you for that amount. With some of the docs that amount of money is high, but you then have the option to see them as often as you feel you need to. With others, the fee is lower, but then you do pay an amount for cost of service.
In a way, this replaces insurance & you are contracting directly with the doc. These docs recommend that you still have some insurance in place for emergency situations. The doc in turn promises not to contract with so many people that it is difficult to see him/her or have time to discuss your issue. In general a HMO doc is contracted to cover between 3,000 & 5,000 patients. Is it any wonder it is hard to get an appointment? A concierge doc by contrast usually covers about 500 folks.
There is a doc not far from my ILs who does this kind of medicine, but she is on the high end of the scale. Her fee, for a year, for one person is $1800, but that grants you unlimited contact with her. This doesn't fit well for me. That amount of money actually encourages folks to see her frequently. I don't see docs all that often & would be hard pushed to justify this amount of money.
There is another one in the desert, a drive for me, but i'm willing to drive, occasionally, for good service/advice/care. His site lost me immediately when he began justifying vaccines & stating that flu shots will be available in his office this fall. He obviously still makes a profit from the pharmacia.
But i have located one i think i will like. He is quite a drive, not in San Diego, but in San Diego County. But his site lists supplements often recommended by him, & they are high quality ones, as well. The very fact that a M.D. would recommend supplements is a big deal. He answers his phone directly, or sometimes his daughter. He does not have a big office. He does not double/triple/quadruple book. And his fee is $600/year plus cost for the time actually spent. This works for me well, because beyond seeing him a few times early on to give history, get general screenings, & creating a "game plan" for my care, i don't think i'll be seeing him very often.
By comparison, i figured that when i was on HMO insurance thru Duane's work & that i never used we were paying $3000 per year for my coverage. I do still have insurance that will cover me in case of something emergent, but i don't use it as a rule. It doesn't cover the type of care that i seek.
I've an appointment to see him next week. One of the things he mentioned right off was food allergies. I know many of these doctors focus on that (dear friend Cindy is seeing one that is helping her, but that doc takes insurance - just not the kind i have). I'm hopeful that this can be another step in moving toward higher functioning. :)
Another thing that i've been doing these past few days is looking, again, at all the children in our country that want a home & are in foster care. But, i've many, many thoughts on this & this post is already long. Save it for another time.

Praying for the next step in your search for the kind of health care you deserve. Much love to you and Duane and Happy 4th! Just spent the day with my sister and mom. Sis helped me move some clothes and other things over today. I'll do more tomorrow after church. See you this week!

Indian city sets new national heat record
The new record in Phalodi, a city in the desert state of Rajasthan, is the equivalent of 123.8 Fahrenheit and comes as a heatwave sweeps the nation.
It tops a previous record of 50.6 Celsius set in 1956.
"Yesterday (Thursday) was the hottest temperature ever recorded in the country… 51 degrees in Phalodi," said B.P. Yadav, a director of the India Meteorological Department, told AFP on Friday.
Temperatures in northern India regularly hit the high 40s in May and June — the hottest months of the year — but topping 50 degrees is unusual.
The weather office has issued warnings of "severe heat wave" conditions across large parts of India's northern and western regions through the weekend.
India declares a heatwave when the maximum temperature hits 45 degrees Celsius, or five degrees higher than the average for the area in previous years.

I have to apologize, ya'll. I haven't felt up to posting the past couple weeks. The thought of having to write about food has made me absolutely ill. I've had no problem baking, and even made Dorie's sugar cookies last week but couldn't bring myself to write about them. Forgive me?
This week's TWD recipe is hosted by Heather of Randomosity and the Girl. She chose Dorie's Buttery Jam Cookies which is a recipe I've never noticed despite flipping through Dorie's book a couple times a week. That's the best part of TWD… I try recipes that I would never have looked twice at.
Anyway, this was a very simple recipe that incorporated jam into the dough. It called for 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger but I had to cut that in half. I can't stand ginger and even 1/4 teaspoon was too much for me. I used strawberry jam and I think it was perfect for the cookie. The cookies turned out very soft. I saw some TWD'ers referring to them as biscuit-like and I think that describes them better than cookie. My only problem with these cookies is that they seem to get sweeter as the days go by. Or maybe I'm just weird..
To get the recipe, visit Heather and make sure you check out the blogroll.

For those who didn't know, Azerbaijan's 2009 Eurovision behavior started raising eyebrows immediately after it aired and the drama continued well into 2010. Those who saw the Azeri Eurovision stream noticed that the number to call Armenia was not showed as it was with all the other countries. This wasn't a huge hurdle to voting, because they were in a numerical order so it was easy to determine what number was for Armenia- but not showing the number to vote for Armenia was of course a breach of the rules. Lebanon was famously kicked out of Eurovision a few years before for not being able to affirm that it would air Israel's performance on its broadcast.
That was tame compared to the bizarre circus which followed though. As the BBC reported, a number of the 43 Azeris who did manage to cast a vote for Armenia despite the number being obscured were met with knocks on their door from the authorities. That's right, all because they voted for Armenia in what is almost universally lambasted as a ridiculous continental sideshow, citizens of Azerbaijan were accused of being "unpatriotic and a potential security threat" for their vote in the contest. Not denying what happened, "the Azerbaijani authorities said people had merely been invited to explain why they voted for Armenia", not intimidating or scary at all right? The article notes "Civil rights campaigners say freedom of expression is increasingly suppressed in Azerbaijan under the presidency of Ilham Aliyev", who now two years later has been seeing the biggest protests yet against his rule as a general authoritarian despot without a taste for dissent.
I also admit having no idea who "French-Syrian businessman Omar Harfouch" is, but according to this article from "The Eurovision Times" (umm that exists?) he accused Azerbaijan of cheating even worse than all that:
Azerbijan exerted pressure on jurors of several countries, paying bribes through Azerbaijani embassies in these countries. He also stated earlier that Azerbaijan had sent money to its embassies so the personal could vote for their country and influence the televote espacially in smaller countries. According to Omar Harfouch, the bribes total sum amounted to $20 million.
As I said I don't know who he is, and cannot indict Azerbaijan on the claim of one person, but it does seem to match their over-the-top Eurovision fervor. That's the worst part about all these post-Soviet countries who have joined recently, they aren't so much "in" on the Eurovision joke amongst the old guard and treat it like its the Olympics. Armenia does this to a degree as well, but Azerbaijan is by far the worst offender of conflating national power and pride with ones ranking at Eurovision. If anyone would take it serious enough to funnel its oil millions to Eurovision judges, it would likely be Azerbaijan.
What will be interesting is to see how Azerbaijan will fare with the challenge of hosting an international competition. I don't know the number of hotel rooms in Baku, but one would have to assume they will need a lot more to accommodate the influx for Eurovision. It has used its oil wealth to fuel a building boom which means it would certainly be in a better position than Armenia to meet the demand, but that is far from a guarantee that it actually can. Perhaps it will take a break from its multi-billion dollar 'defense' budget aimed at resuming war with Armenia for such a purpose? Is it too bold to suggest that winning Eurovision means the NK conflict won't be able to heat up at least another year as Azerbaijan preps for the European spotlight?
What is most interesting however is the outstanding question of Armenia. After all, in 2004 NATO exercises which were supposed to be held in Azerbaijan were canceled due to Azerbaijan refusing to allow the participation of the Armenian delegation. It was the first time these exercises ever had to be canceled and caused strain on the Azeri-NATO relationship. Azerbaijan has a well-known "no Armenian" policy within its borders, whether it regards the ancient Julfa Armenian khachkar cemetery it was videotaped destroying in the past decade, Armenian sports players (even members of third-party nations who are of Armenian descent), and just regular Armenians wherever they might be from who request a visa to visit. Foreign travelers to Azerbaijan often return with confusing stories about having the Armenia section of their Lonely Planet travel guide ripped out before being allowed to enter. I do think in the past year there was finally an officially sanctioned Armenian sports team who was able to attend a competition held in Baku, but on the whole it is clear Azerbaijan's attitude towards Armenians anywhere within its borders is chilling.
It's hard to say what will come next, but I am hoping there isn't a repeat of Georgia's boycott to perform in Russia. Armenia should seek to perform in Azerbaijan like all other countries come what may. Instead of preemptively refusing to participate, it should seek to and let Azerbaijan sort it out. If it wants to refuse Armenian participation as it usually does then it will have to pay the price, which is why I highly doubt we'd see a repeat of such behavior from Azerbaijan. Hopefully everyone can sober up and treat each other like humans, but Eurovision will definitely require extraordinary protection for any Armenian participant like it hasn't seen for a long time. It'd really be ashame for Armenia to miss out on Eurovision, regardless of where it is held, (that is unless it tries to be represented by a song like Boom Boom again!) We'll see what happens...

Security industry best practice encourages organizations to adhere to secure development lifecycle (SDLC) principles by embedding security measures in all stages of code development. However, even the most diligent adherence to SDLC principles will not eliminate all vulnerabilities.
Initiatives that reward the public for uncovering vulnerabilities in websites and software, known as bug bounty programs, are fast becoming successful common practice with companies like Facebook, Google and Microsoft. Without a bug bounty program, organizations run a higher risk that there will be more incidences of hackers or security researchers trying to extort or blackmail them if they discover a vulnerability, risking both financial and reputational harm. Crowdsourcing the hunt for overlooked flaws is a cost-effective and controlled way to ensure that your organization is doing all it can to strengthen the security of its code.
Related Blog Posts
Inviting hackers and security researchers to find flaws in your product does come with risks, so it's important to design and implement bug bounty programs carefully to ensure safe reporting, quality submissions, and smooth execution. The following tips highlight considerations to help you develop the right program to achieve your company's vulnerability hunting goals.
Have the right resources in place to execute the program
The foundation for a successful bug bounty program is preparation, specifically having processes in place and the right resources to carry them out effectively. A few important areas to focus on are:
- Sufficient staff. Make sure you have sufficient resources within your team to address and manage the queue of fixes to vulnerabilities identified through the program. This should also include staff who can quickly validate submissions and accurately prioritize fixes based on the level of security risk.
- Vetting duplicates. Have a process in place for vetting vulnerabilities that have already been reported to avoid duplicative entries in defect tracking systems. Not only will this provide a better experience for the bounty hunters but also it will help prevent you from having to pay for the same vulnerability twice.
- Language skills. You will need the ability to communicate in different languages with the researchers and hackers who find the vulnerabilities, as English may not be their first language. With money and security at stake, clearly understanding the vulnerability they are describing is important.
- Coordination. Work with your security operations team to make sure they can differentiate between a bounty hunter and an attacker who is not part of the program. Their focus should remain on identifying malicious threats.
Price bounties thoughtfully
Certain factors will impact the value a company assigns to vulnerabilities. For example, some people may argue that a bug found on Facebook or Google may be worth more than the same vulnerability found on a small or medium sized company's website or product. Another factor to consider when pricing is the level of security risk posed by the particular vulnerability, which many companies address by instituting a sliding scale.
On the other hand, putting too high of a price on a vulnerability risks incentivizing 'bad' developers within the company to write insecure code and then tip off a friend to report the bug and split the bounty. Assigning value and criteria for payment is a balance between being generous enough to motivate skilled hunters for high-quality submissions while not incentivizing dishonest behavior and being reasonable enough that it's still cost-effective and you're not overwhelmed with low level submissions.
Choose the right crowdsourcing approach
There are different levels of crowdsourcing you can employ in a bug bounty program. Opening the program up to everyone on the internet is likely to produce a high volume of submissions that can lead to faster results. However, you will need to be sure you have the internal resources to sift through the noise to find the quality submissions and, more importantly, skilled resources to monitor the activity to differentiate between bug hunters and malicious attackers. A better option for many companies is to use a select group of familiar researchers who are more experienced and can reliably provide actionable intelligence.
Good bug bounty programs require considerable internal resources to design and implement effectively. If your company does not have available resources you can hire external vendors to manage the program on your behalf. Instituting a bug bounty program is a responsible and effective step to strengthen a company's cyber defenses and protect its critical assets.

Too hot to handle: life in a four-degree world
Full Article at http://www.climatecodered.org/2014/03/too-hot-to-handle-life-in-four-degree.html#more
by Gabrille Kuiper,
The book Four Degrees or More? Australia in a hot world, edited by political scientist Peter Christoff, is a timely overview of what we know currently about both global and local predicted impacts of climate change.
As Christoff notes, 'this four-degree world is one of almost unimaginable social, economic and ecological consequences and catastrophes' but, given current international and Australian energy and climate policies, it is "an impending reality". The book contains contributions by Australia's leading scientists and economists, including Ross Garnaut, David Karoly and Will Steffen, setting out a four-degree future across the ecological, social and economic impacts, and the adaptation that will be required.
Previously, climate change dialogue has mainly focused on two degrees Celsius of global temperature rise, which had been identified as a key environmental "tipping point". Scientific consensus is now that our business-as-usual trajectory will cause the global average temperature to rise by a global average of four degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by 2070-2100.
Nonetheless, regional increases will range from four to sixteen degrees on land, with the Arctic continuing to heat up the most, as it has done to date.
One of the key insights from Four degrees or More? is that almost nothing about the consequences of climate change will be uniform.

According to a press release by the State Controller of California, John Chiang, he has completed "stress testing" the Department of Finance's cash projections from the State's newly-revised budget and has determined the new spending plan will provide the State Treasury with enough cash to stop issuing IOUs on September 4, almost one month earlier than expected.
The Controller has advised the Governor, Treasurer and legislative leaders that current projections show the State will need to borrow $10.5 billion to meet California's cash needs for the fiscal year.
Based on the State Treasurer's assurance that he will be able to obtain an interim $1.5 billion loan by August 28, the Controller set September 4 as the date he could stop issuing IOUs and the Treasurer may begin redeeming those that have already been issued.
At the Controller's request, the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) has scheduled an emergency meeting for August 21. At that meeting, the Controller will ask the board to approve a redemption date of September 4, which is almost one month earlier than the October 2 maturity date printed on the IOUs.

Rochdale Council child protection 'inadequate', says Ofsted report
An Ofsted report has found child protection at Rochdale Borough Council to be "inadequate".
Findings identified "gaps in service provision", but no children were found to be "at significant risk from harm".
The unannounced inspection, focused on safeguarding children from sexual exploitation, came after a grooming ring was uncovered in the town.
Gladys Rhodes White, Children's Services director at the council, said she was "disappointed" by the findings.
The report stated that the inspection follows the launch of Operation Span, carried out by Greater Manchester Police from 2010.
Nine men were given sentences from four to 19 years after being found guilty of child sex offences in May.
Ofsted said: "The overall effectiveness of the arrangements to protect children in Rochdale Borough Council is inadequate".
The results of the ten day inspection, held in November, gave leadership and management an overall "inadequate" rating.
'Tough year'
Ofsted said previous senior leaders at the council "lacked urgency in driving the strategic momentum of responding to child sexual exploitation".
It added that recent appointments to the council, including a new chief executive in May, were "beginning to drive improvement forward".
Quality of practice and effectiveness of help and and protection were found as "adequate".
The report praised social workers as being "very committed to helping children and protecting them from harm".
Ms Rhodes White, who is interim executive director, said the outcome was fair.
She said: "Today's report makes a number of very clear recommendations for the council and our partners.
"Although previous concerns about leadership and management have affected our overall rating I was pleased to see that the strengths of our new arrangements were highlighted."
"This has been a tough year, but the inspectors identified many positive improvements that we are firmly building on."
She added: "We will get stronger by the time Ofsted come back".

For those that have been looking for major changes in the way that mental health is treated and looked at, they don't need to look any further than Talkspace, an app that makes therapy easier than ever. One of the biggest hurdles for people to overcome when it relates to therapy is the price of therapy. For a lot of people, even those with insurance, it is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. It is very, very expensive. In addition to that, they can wind up waiting a very, very long time before they actually get in the door to see someone. There is nothing about the process that is easy and there is nothing about it that makes sense. After all, if someone is going through a difficult period in their life, they should have access to the proper mental health care.
It is why Talkspace has made sure they can have an app that is affordable for everyone. They don't want anyone to feel left out or like money is the reason they can't get the treatment and therapy they desire and need in their lives. Money should be the last thing on their minds, quite frankly. They should just be focused on getting better, feeling better, and being on the right path in their life.
Talkspace has a group of over 1,000 professionals that are ready, willing, and able to help out someone in need. They take it upon themselves to be there through text message, phone call, or a video chat. With text messages, they can even text them daily to get a word of encouragement or make sure they are staying on the right path in their life. It is a truly wonderful invention that is making therapy something that more and more people can obtain.

Press Release
MHRMI and AMHRC Call on Nimetz to Resign Post and to Denounce Name Negotiations
April 16, 2013
Читај ја оваа страница на македонски
Toronto, Canada and Melbourne, Australia (April 16, 2013) - As the first UN mediator for the name dispute, Robin O'Neil, has said,
"Macedonia must not and will not change its name in order to appease Greece. If Macedonia succumbs to pressures and changes its name, such events will only give more firepower to Greece until it reaches its final goal - Macedonia to vanish from the map."
Macedonian Human Rights Movement International (MHRMI) and the Australian Macedonian Human Rights Committee (AMHRC) call on the current UN mediator, Matthew Nimetz, to publicly come to the same conclusion as his predecessor, resign his post and denounce the nonsensical name negotiations.
As MHRMI and AMHRC have stated in the
Our Name is Macedonia
campaign, which calls on Macedonia to immediately stop the name negotiations,
"Would any other country negotiate its own name?"
Instead of entertaining ridiculous suggestions such as the recent "Upper Republic of Macedonia", apparently for the "privilege" of entering the European Union and NATO, Macedonia, and the international community, must put an end to the name negotiations.
Despite claims to the contrary, any change to the bilateral name used between Macedonia and Greece would change Macedonia`s name internationally.
Macedonians worldwide are vehemently against the name negotiations and rightly so, as it is common sense to see that there is no "solution" when one country is being asked to change its name to appease another country's racist notion that it has no right to exist.
Help Macedonians overcome the human rights abuses that they face on a daily basis by joining the MHRMI Human Rights Fund or the AMHRC's Macedonian Minorities Support Fund. MHRMI and the AMHRC are the only organizations in the Macedonian diaspora that finance and organize Macedonian human rights activities in the Balkans. Your donation will go directly to funding vital Macedonian human rights activities.
Macedonian Human Rights Movement International (MHRMI)
has been active on human and national rights issues for Macedonians and other oppressed peoples since 1986. For more information:
, 1-416-850-7125.
Established in 1984 the
Australian Macedonian Human Rights Committee (AMHRC)
is a non governmental organisation that advocates before governments, international institutions and broader communities about combating discrimination and promoting basic human rights. Our aspiration is to ensure that Macedonian communities and other excluded groups throughout the world are recognised, respected and afforded equitable treatment. For more information please visit

(Heb. leshem), a precious stone mentioned in (Exodus 28:19; 39:12) as the first in the third row of the high priest's breastplate. It is impossible to say, with any certainty, what stone is denoted by the Hebrew term; but perhaps tourmaline, or more definitely the red variety known as rubellite, has better claims than any other mineral. Rubellite is a hard stone, and used as a gem, and is sometimes sold for red sapphire.

We're available 24/7 to discuss treatment options.
The Care Management and Nurse Navigation teams at Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) provide clinical support throughout your initial visit to the hospital, treatment and recovery process. These two teams will also coordinate every aspect of your care.
Before you arrive at CTCA®, a nurse navigator will call you to talk about your current health and medical history. On your first day at the hospital and every day during your initial evaluation period, your nurse navigator will meet with you to make sure your needs are being met and questions answered. Your care manager steps in once you begin treatment and will stay with you throughout the rest of your care at CTCA.
Our nurse navigators and care managers are registered nurses with oncology expertise. As a member of your overall care team, your nurse navigator or care manager will communicate with your doctors and other clinicians, caregivers, and health insurance company on your behalf to make sure your initial visit and treatment runs smoothly.
The following are some of the specific services your nurse navigators and/or care managers provide:
We understand that traveling to a treatment facility from out of town can be stressful. CTCA takes care of many details for you, including scheduling your appointments, handling insurance and billing questions, and getting you in touch with your doctors. The nurse navigation and care management teams stay in close contact with you to ensure your individual needs are met.
Nurse navigators and care managers are available in the hospital clinic from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
You can talk with your nurse navigator or care manager in person, by phone or via the computer through a secure Patient Portal. Contact information will be provided to you as soon as you decide to become a patient at CTCA.
The members of the team also help to make sure your medical needs are met when you return home. They are available via telephone or email at any time if you have medical concerns between visits to CTCA.
Fran Reichel serves as the Director of Oncology Patient Services and Care Management at CTCA in Philadelphia. Evelyn Dobson, Manager of Care Management, leads the care management team.
Our Philadelphia hospital's care management team currently consists of care managers, all of whom are registered nurses with oncology expertise. The team also includes care management assistants, who are licensed practical nurses. In addition, a care management coordinator helps answer calls and relays information to the nurses.
"The care manager is here to do a lot of symptom management. We try to assist patients with diet, staying hydrated, and managing issues such as pain, constipation, lack of appetite, and nausea, so they can continue with treatment," says Reichel.
"We also do a lot of teaching and education. We want to make sure patients have all the information they need so they can make decisions that are best for them. And, we support patients in whatever decisions they make. Here, patients have a voice in their care," she adds.
Fill out all of the form below and we will connect you to someone to assist you.

Why no, I didn't fall off the face of the earth! We put our house on the market about 2 weeks ago, accepted an offer after the open house, and are now busily house-hunting. Frankly, worrying about getting my kids to try new things has fallen to the bottom of my to-do list... bad mommy!
I came back from an afternoon of house-hunting last week and had to prep for dinner date. Good thing I had decided to do a little Semi-Homemade Theme! I used to love to watch Sandra Lee and her table-scapes, but never made much of what she did. I felt like every dessert involved a store-bought pound cake or angel food cake. For my semi-homemade, I hit up Trader Joe's for some mixes that I like to keep in the house, and worked from there. This dinner date certainly came together a lot faster than I'm used to!
1 package prepared polenta (it comes in a tube)
ground cumin
ground coriander
Parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
This could not be easier, but the mommies loved it. Once Abby got past the initial texture shock (my bad... I told her it was a cracker) she loved it, too!
Preheat a griddle pan or an indoor electric grill. Slice polenta into rounds. Sprinkle each round with spices and cheese to taste. Grill for about 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
2 packages macaroni and cheese, prepared according to package directions
1 lb ground beef
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
10-16 oz package of frozen veggie (I used broccoli spears, which the kids completely avoided)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare the mac and cheese. Set aside in a big bowl.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef. When cooked through, drain out the fat and add the spices. Cook for one minute more, coating the beef. Add the beef to the mac and cheese. Add the veggies. Stir all together.
Divide between two 1-qt casserole dishes (and freeze one for later!). Sprinkle cheese all over the top. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
The brownie crust eliminates any need for frosting...
1 package of brownie mix, mixed according to package directions
1 package of vanilla cake mix, mixed according to package directions
zest of one lemon
Preheat oven to the temp called for on your cake mix box. Generously grease two 9-inch cake pans.
Divide the brownie batter between the two pans. Stir the lemon zest into the cake batter. Divide the cake batter between the two pans, carefully spreading it over the brownie batter.
Cook for the lowest time in the cake mix's time range; if a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, the cake is done.

Springtime in Florida. April droughts instead of showers. May flowers blooming since February. High school baseball, golf, tennis and track teams -- the so-called ''spring'' sports -- compete in the winter, then shuttled off the fields in May to make way for football.
Spring football in Florida has an interesting history. It has been around almost as long as the sport itself, but it seems every year critics want to do away with it. So far it has thrived, even though being declared technically dead.

1. Who would benefit from taking this course?
This course is intended for nurses who hold current TNCC verification cards and who want to renew their verification by studying on their own, spending only one day instead of two in the classroom setting.
2. How do nurses prepare for the TNCC 1-Day Renewal verification testing on their own?
The one-day course is designed for nurses who already have verification and so will be familiar with the elements of the class and the testing procedures. Nurses will have advance access to all of the TNCC Seventh Edition Provider Course learning material, including the 24-chapter comprehensive manual, the five interactive online learning modules, and the online video demonstrating trauma nursing process. They can also use the new TNCC Provider Course Study Guide, and Features and Updates of the Seventh Edition, which are located with the online modules.
3. How is the one-day renewal course different from the two-day course?
The TNCC 1-Day Renewal course begins with a hands-on review of the trauma nursing process, airway and ventilation, and trauma interventions skill stations with expert instructors. Nurses then go directly into the skill station testing and the written TNCC exam. Course completion requirements are the same as the two-day provider course. Successful completion of the renewal course requires a score 80% or higher on the multiple-choice exam and 70% or higher on the skill station evaluation.
4. Who can I contact for more information about TNCC 1-Day Renewal courses offered in my area?
Please click here to locate a course in your area. Check back often, as courses are added on a regular basis. If you don't see a TNCC 1-Day Renewal course listed, contact your local TNCC Course Director.
5. Are contact hours awarded?
Yes, all attendees will be awarded a contact hour certificate.
6. If I have a question regarding the clinical content of the course, who should I contact?
For questions regarding clinical content, nurses can contact ENA's education team at firstname.lastname@example.com or 847.460.4123, Monday through Friday, between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, CT.
