Question: Recurring Pustules On Face (Pics)
|Ellis3 - Wed Nov 04, 2009 7:50 pm
I am a 25 year old male. I have never had any acne other than the occasional pimple. Over the past year and a half I have been getting extremely bad breakouts. I will go to sleep clean and wake up with a handful of pustules on my face, some fairly large in size, and as the days go by they multiply. They form fast, sometimes even over the course of an 8hr work shift. They itch as well.
I have cleaned up my diet, as well as tried to narrow it down to a cause with no luck. I am running out of options. I cant even look in a mirror anymore. I go back to school in less than two months, and this is just killing me. I have been to a dermatoligist, whom prescribed tazorac and doxy, and a gen prac that said it may be follectulitis and did another antibiotic.
I am looking for any more opinions. Please,
Thanks for your time

Hello,Those who are taking long term treatment for acne develop sometimes what is known as a gram negative folliculitis.These do not respond to standard antibiotics used for acne and need to be treated with specific drugs after a culture and sensitivity test.Again this area is common for a parasite called Demodex folliculorum and responds to permethin application.You need to get investigated along these lines and get treated.Best wishes.
|Ellis3 - Tue Nov 10, 2009 12:24 am
Thank you for your reply!
Demodex Folliculorum, from my reading, sounds VERY close to what I have, in fact it may be it!
Reading about it fits perfectly. Everything from the itching, to it being reactive to tea tree oil, as I had just started a tea tree oil maybe a week prior to this massive break out, as well as the frequent pustules in the nose wings I also saw mentioned.
From what I read, this is usually treated with Ivermectin orally?
The reason I ask is, due to financial reasons, if I suggested this to my general practitioner , is there any negative to having it prescribed and NOT having any mites? It looks to be cheaper to just get the prescription than have to pay out of pocket for a derm, and then additional money for the lab test. If the problem goes away, that was the cause, if not I move on to the next possible cause.

Plasma Lash 1.0 is the base Nanovor of the Plasma tree and is a Wave 1 Nanovor.
Plasma Lash specializes as a kind of "bang for your buck" Nanovor due to its low SV compensating for it's mediocre stats.
Plasma Lash 1.0 is the cheapest Nanovor to add to any swarm; with a mere 155 SV, you'll likely find space for it somewhere. It's specialty is the high HP value and reducing the STR of the opponent, and typically does not last long without some help of ARM overrides.
It is particularly useful for setting Yellow Spike overrides at the cheapest possible cost.

The FBI has uncovered a homegrown, jihadist compounds/classic/rte_icons/link.png in the small Alabama town of Macon County.
The FBIs search warrant described the property as a makeshift military-style obstacle course in a story first reported by Sinclair Broadcast Group. The land where the group gathered reportedly looked like an abandoned dump, and was led by Siraj Wahhaj, who allegedly trained children to commit school shootings in a similar terrorist breeding ground in New Mexico last year.
Wahhaj and four other alleged Islamic extremists were indicted on terrorism, kidnapping, and firearm violation charges earlier this year.

In an interview with Sinclair Broadcast Group, former FBI agent Tim Fuhrman warned of the increasing threats of domestic terror that exists in every region of the United States and affects all walks of life.

I recently upgraded by Bug Out Bag to an ILBE military surplus bag.
The good news is that it holds everything I need. The bad new is I now need to have a system to keep it neat and ready.
It's very important to Keep your Bug Out Bag Organized!
Keep your Bug Out Bag Organized
It is very likely you will be cold, tired and it may even be dark when you need to reach for your survival gear. Save yourself a lot of frustration, energy and time by taking the time today to pack your bag in an organized fashion.
When it comes to packing your bug out bag it actually requires quite a bit of thought. You cannot toss items in and hope to find them in an emergency. Your bug out bag needs to be methodically organized. In a survival situation, you are likely going to be more than a little stressed. The last thing you need is to add to the chaos by trying to find a vital piece of survival gear.
A large backpack, like the ILBE rucksack, can give you thousands of cubic inches of carry space, but if you don't organize and pack it well, you'll may have to empty the entire bag just to find the one item you need.
Here is a combination of methods that will help keep your gear organized.
Group Items into "kits"
Separate your backpack contents into logical groups and keep each group in a dry sack, inside the of the backpack.
This will keep your items dry and keep them organized. You'll be able to identify the contents of each dry sack by color, or if they are all the same color. You can label them with some type of permanent maker (or other method).
Now your gear is in 5-7 smaller kits. Each kit is in a separate dry bag, protected from water.
Backpack Load Out
Load out your backpack (bug out bag) from top to bottom:
- Sleeping bag goes in the very bottom of the bag. The Military 4 piece sleep system can provide you with the flexibility to sleep in any temperature, down to -30°F. The bivy sack covering is waterproof and can be used instead of a tent for shelter. Make sure to get the genuine military surplus!
- Tent goes next, on top of the sleeping bag. If you don't carry a full tent or if you use a military poncho, for shelter and/or rain gear, you can skip the tent. Your military poncho shouldn't go in this position as it will always rain when you bug out (really, why wouldn't it), so you'll want it towards the top.
- Food and Cooking gear is the next item that goes in the bag (on top of tent or sleeping bag, if you are tent-less). Keep your food in a separate dry sack, apart from your cooking gear (and fire starting).
- Clothing (wool socks, non-cotton shirts and pants, wicking undershirt and under garments)
- Cordage, tent stakes, maps, compass, headlamps, flashlights, additional fire making tools in another dry sack.
- First Aid Kit, right on top, in it's own dry sack (usually a Red one).
- Military rain poncho on top (because it's going to rain, trust me). The poncho is water proof, so there is no need to put the it in a dry sack.
Tent poles and really big maps can be inserted down the side of the gear inside the pack. Foam sleeping pad can be secured outside the pack, since they are typically water proof material.
Your knife and radio should already on your belt. Keep your cold steel shovel, machete, and tomahawk (or camp axe) are strapped to the outside of the pack.
It essential to Keep your Bug Out Bag Organized! If you keep items sorted into quickly identifiable kits and sorted into dry sacks, you can quickly find the items you need, when you need them, keep items dry and will allow you to load and unload your gear fast.
You can watch this video to get an idea about how to pack your survival gear. Keep in mind, your bag is likely going to be a little different and may have fewer or possibly more pockets or MOLLE straps. This strapping system is designed to be very strong and to make is easy for you to personalize your own kit.
Craig Caudill is organizes his gear bag with supplies from Dan's Depot. He is also the chief instructor at his Nature Reliance School.

Health & Welfare
There is one private hospital – Kamuli Mission Hospital – and one public hospital in the Kamuli region, serving a population of 750,000. If they are ill, people have to make a long trek – often taking many hours on foot – to get to a hospital/
Children of Uganda (UK) recognised there was a need to supplement limited hospital services, by taking basic healthcare out into the community. Community healthcare will focus on preventative care to reduce the need for hospital treatment.
On their last trip to Uganda, Trustees of Children of Uganda (UK) met with Kamuli Mission Hospital, doctors working in the local government hospital and with UK Rotarian doctors working in the Kamuli area.
We are committed to providing a Community Centre to house this healthcare programme for our local community.
The Community Centre will provide the infrastructure and expertise to focus on health and social issues in the community.
In the meantime, Annette (BSUF Founder) and the team keep a close eye on the students and try to look after their health and welfare. Recently she noticed that some of the children at the local nursery school appeared to be sick.
BSUF holds its first Mobile Medical Clinic at Butansi Nursery School
The charity arranged for a visiting medical team to test and immunise the children for HIV-Aids, Malaria and other infectious diseases. Some of the children were found to be sick, with malaria, mumps and fungal infections! So the team could give immediate front-line help in the form of the right medicines. We need funds to organise more of these pop-up clinics across more schools in our local area – until the Community Centre is built with its permanent medical clinic facility.
Helping Arafat
When the UK trustees were on their last trip to Uganda and visiting the schools, it was noticed that one of our children, Arafat, was not in class. The group then went to his home and discovered that Arafat was bedridden. They immediately took him to the nearest hospital, where he was diagnosed with a seriously degenerative hip problem requiring an operation. This involved taking Arafat to a hospital in Kampala. Children of Uganda (UK) paid for the operation and all Arafat's medical and transport costs. Arafat has now recovered and is back in school. Ambrose is still involved, taking Arafat to regular medical check ups.
More recently Annette was on hand when Blair, one of our younger students, was bitten by a snake. He was rushed to hospital, where it was then discovered he had a severe case of Malaria which also needed urgent treatment. We are delighted to report that Blair is now fully recovered and back at school.
Helping Owino and his family
When we heard of the plight of a family having difficulties paying for the education of their four children, we took over the cost of the education for Owino, their third son. Both parents are profoundly deaf and so Owino, is at a special school for the deaf (and non-deaf) in the area. We are delighted to support this family.
Home Visits
Annette and the team go on regular home visits to check on the welfare of their students and their families and to lend their support when needed. Here is Annette with Rose, one of our students who lives with her mother.

John 8:31-32
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
"You can't handle the truth!" – A Few Good Men
I am a seeker of truth. Truth is scary. I find it much easier to live the illusion, filling every waking minute with the things I have to do to maintain the illusion. Figuring out how to make more money, have more things, do more things. And then I catch a glimpse of the truth and it is without fail, something simpler, deeper, more life giving. But it's hard to LET GO. It's hard to let go of the idea that I have to keep up with the Jones or I will lose my esteem in the eyes of my friends. And that doesn't give my friends much credit now does it? So I continue to seek and hope that the glimpses last longer and that I become a more courageous seeker.

As a new collage artist creating a collage is not really something you need step-by-step instructions for. The College Office for Arts and Humanities is situated in the Keir Hardie Building (Building 4 on the Campus Plan ). See our welcome video below. Myth 3: A Bachelor of Arts degree is a waste of time and money and does not earn as much money as a bachelor degree in science and technology.
Heather Whitton was appointed Associate Dean in the Faculty of Animation, Arts and Design in 2007. Sociology is also a broad science that covers many different disciplines in the social sciences. The Technical College provides further programmes of study at MQF/EQF Level 4 in closer collaboration with industry.
We provide children from across the State with Gifted and Talented Arts Programs and all students study a comprehensive range of academic subjects alongside their specialist course. The Mumbai-based college offers both undergraduate and post-graduate courses in science, commerce and arts.
Each daily prompt is developed to help with overall technique, design skills such as color and composition and basic principle of good design. Pablo Picasso and George Braque were both the original modern collage designers, although there are a few people in the art industry, who says both gentlemen were definitely one of the very first collage artists to be identified.
Decoupage is a type of collage usually defined as a craft It is the process of placing a picture into an object for decoration Decoupage can involve adding multiple copies of the same image, cut and layered to add apparent depth. It gives me immense pleasure in welcoming you to Vivekanandha College of Arts & Science for Women.

The week of my 35th year on this planet is here and it's kind of tripping me out.
It's not because I feel "old", but more because I can vividly remember my own parents when they were this very age. I can so clearly remember warm days with my Dad mowing the lawn, and watching his beloved Mets, and my mom always ready with a Pop-Ice and calling us from the front door to come in once our street lights went on around 8:30. And, the crazy part to me is, that it doesn't feel like it was that long ago. Yet, here I am, turning that same age, and calling my own kids onto the deck for a Pop-Ice (organic, of course. Yay for 2017.).
From that time in the early 90's until now, I've learned a few things. Seriously, just a few…I am still far from a wise adult offering sage advice and I often wonder how I am as adulty (a bit of neologism for ya) as I am (and expected to be).
But, alas, here are a few things I've learned, and would note to my younger self… if I could go all Marty McFly on myself, of course:
Also, drink more bellinis. They are your bliss.

In the midst of the political chaos that our great nation is facing, I am (for some reason) yearning for a trip back to D.C. I have such fond memories of our last trip there with the boys, and look forward to taking them back there soon. Below is an article I wrote back in 2013 about a weekend trip there…when we were only a family of 3! Included are some great tips for heading there with the family!
I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane, like I did!
For my husband and I, traveling was a major part of our life before baby, and we vowed that we wouldn't change that after our family grew! But, as we were to find out, traveling with a family can be expensive. Add in a destination that requires a flight, and you could have yourself a costly vacation.
A few weeks ago, we took our first Macaroni Kid West Morris Road Trip to the Washington, D.C. area. We spent a long weekend having fun at museums, eating at delish family friendly (but mommy & daddy approved) restaurants, swimming and just relaxing. Holy smokes, did we have a great time! The easy 4 hour drive took us to Alexandria, VA, a suburb right outside of the D.C. area. Alexandria has a Hoboken or Princeton-like feel, with adorable shops, tons of restaurants, and more strollers and dogs on leashes than I have ever seen in a small city. After settling in, we took a drive to the National Waterfront. We lucked out and had a beautiful day to walk around the water front, do a little window shopping and visit the National Children's Museum. Admission to the museum is $10 for children & adults ages 1 year and up. We spent a full 3 hours at the museum exploring, playing and learning. Older children will have a wonderful (& educational) experience exploring the foods, clothing (dress up!), and even transportation of other countries. And the "Our Town" exhibit replicates a small local town, and allows children hands on experience in a mock Fire Engine, Pizza Parlor, and even a shipping dock! And of course, it wouldn't be Washington, D.C. without a little politics! Children can participate in choosing a "candidate" by listening to platforms that may be of interest to them (i.e. why or why not soda should be allowed in schools). National Children's Museum has a unique partnership with Sesame Workshop, which means their under 3 area (under 3 ft. tall, or under 3 years old) is adorned with every toddlers favorite Sesame Street characters. Elmo, Abby, Big Bird and more are photographed on the walls, and Cookie Monster's food truck can be driven to places that only a toddler's imagination can take them. My son (15 months) loved this area! The small area to climb on was a big hit (like a small obstacle course), as well as the toys, felt and magnet boards, and puzzles. If you continue through the Under 3 area, you will find classrooms that have at least 2 different crafts being offered on a daily basis. If that isn't enough to keep you busy, there are also mini productions and story times in the theater! We truly cannot wait to get back there and enjoy it again!
Our last day was spent exploring Washington, D.C. The National Mall and most of the museums were just a short 15 minute drive from our hotel (including a bit of normal traffic). The majority of the museums in D.C. are free of charge to get in. So fantastic for a family, because we all know how bored kids can get. You can visit the parts of each museum that your find interested, and then head to the next one! My son was pretty excited about the Museum of National History (if your kids have seen Night at the Museum, they will be even more excited!). The elephant in the lobby, animals, dinosaurs and the ocean exhibit were all big hits. This mommy liked the Harry Winston exhibit (Valentine's Day ideas, anyone?!). For older children, the Air & Space Museum will be incredibly exciting. The IMAX theater programs and the giant airplanes hanging from the ceiling are always crowd pleasers. The Spy Museum would also be a lot of fun for an older child. Of course, with the various monuments, Capitol Building, White House, etc… there are so many things to do in D.C. that one trip is not enough! We visited many, but will be back to finish soon!
Other than the in museum café's, there is not much in the way of restaurants by the National Mall. Luckily we parked right by the popular Food Truck scene. Good food trucks beat a casual restaurant for me any day. This is the link that has the popular Food Trucks in D.C.; we ate at the Crepes Parfait food truck in the link. Amazing.
The Washington D.C./Alexandria, VA area was a fantastic 3 day weekend trip. We look forward to returning soon!
I want you to close your eyes and fantasize about going on the vacation of your dreams with your family…your husband, your wife, your kids….
Are you day dreaming of a tropical beach, and laying on a lounge chair drinking a frozen daiquiri while the kids play for hours in the white sand? Or, are you picturing your beautiful family smiling in front of the Arc de Triomphe while noshing on a perfect croissant?
Now, open your eyes and remember this is real life. And, in real life, when traveling with your family, and especially young children, your strawberry daiquiri is most likely watery because you didn't drink it fast enough due to separating non stop sand fights between your kids, and your toddler is most likely having an epic meltdown in front of that epic Arc.
So, you ask, if this is the case, and this is the reality of traveling with young kids, then why the heck have we traveled with our children over 20 times in the past few years?! The answer is simple: although it might not always be easy, or "picture perfect", the experiences and memories made as a family far outweigh anything else.
Our day-to-day lives are filled with school drop offs, appointments, cell phones, meal preps, household maintenance and work. We go, go, go. When we travel, even if we are only a few hours from home, we slow down. We talk uninterrupted. We make eye contact. We laugh more. We connect. Without fail, I always find out something new about my kids each time we travel.
And, possibly, moreover the family connection and memories, we travel because it affects our children in such a profound way. Each and every place we visit raises questions of culture, future adventures, and personal discovery. I can see them grow on each new trip, and their "where are we going next" excitement in between in each trip is infectious, and drives us to never stop adventuring.
Although they might not remember all of our trips when they get older, I know that they are forever changed for the better for having the experiences. And, I am forever changed by experiencing the new adventures through their eyes.

If you haven't guessed it by the title of our blog, we love music. Our boys' room is music (and travel) themed and even has the quote on their wall, "Don't bother to pack your bags, or your map, We won't need them where we're going, We're going where the wind is blowing" from the band Weezer. We have been known to dabble with a few instruments, so we figured we would share the instruments that we thought were the best for travel.
The instruments I focused on were small, inexpensive, and could withstand the elements. Most are easy enough to learn the basics and you can be well on your way to playing them with just a little practice.
UKULELE. It's small, light weight, easy to play and sounds great. Kala is one of the best uke makers on the market. For outdoor enthusiast like us, Kala makes a plastic uke (the Kala Makala Waterman). Play it while rafting, play it on the summits and play it in the rain. The sound does not compare to the wooden versions, but with a price tag of $45, I place this at the top of my list. We were able to pick up this uke at our local family owned outdoor store, Ramsey Outdoor. It's great that even outdoor retailers understand the joy a little music on the road can bring you. By learning 4 different chords (Am, C, F, and G) you'll be able to play hundreds of extremely popular songs. Oh and if all of that was not enough, they made the uke transparent.
HARMONICA. This is much more difficult to learn to play but small enough to put in your pocket. It's relatively rugged and doesn't have to be tuned. Just take it out and play. They cost between $3 and $45 and you can get a quality one for around $20 so you won't have to break the bank to try this one out. Down side to the harmonica is each one is in a different key so other people will have to play songs in the key of your harmonica.
The ocarina is not as well know, unless you played the Legend of Zelda growing up. It also is small enough to fit in your pocket or even hang around your neck (which may result in being picked on, so, don't say we didn't warn you!). If you buy a clay or plastic one you don't have to worry about the weather. Melodies are easy enough to learn and you'll take all of your friends back to their high school years with your legend of zelda tunes. They cost between and $8 and $30.
THE MOUTH HARP. I know what you're thinking, what's next? The spoons?! It's small, inexpensive and can hold up to bad weather so here it is. It can be found in almost every country in the world and depending on the materials it is made out of you can get some crazy sounds. You can grab one for a few dollars so you won't really be out to much if you give it a try. A disclaimer that my wife insisted I add- your tent mate might decide to take their chance sleeping in the wilderness, far away from you, if you bring the Mouth Harp along (she is not a fan).
Last on our list is just behind the mouth harp, it's your voice or maybe mine. Singing can be amazingly beautiful to those that are good at it but even if you're tone deaf…who cares! Singing with friends around a fire is always a good time and if someone in the group has a mouth harp, you can all bust them even if you guys can't hold a tune yourselves. It's free and takes up no extra space. Chances are you were going to bring it on your trip anyway.
And if you needed a little more of us in your life, here is a little video of us using our new Kala Makala ukulele. Keep your eyes glued to our instagram account for a ukulele giveaway curtesy of Ramsey Outdoor.
No matter what you choose to bring with you music and travel go together amazingly.
Any avid hiker in the northeast knows about the Presidential Traverse. A string of nine (or 10 if you include Jackson) summits threaded through the White Mountains of New Hampshire with water falls, glowing moss, and stunning summits, it's no wonder this venture is on most hikers' bucket lists. It was on mine and it only took me three attempts. Like so many others, my first two trips were canceled due to hurricane-like, 110 mph winds on Mount Washington. Little known fact: Mount Washington held the highest recorded wind gust for 62 years at 231 mph.
I was looking to shed a little weight, so I packed my Deuter ACT Zero with all of the essentials. The Trail consists of 20,000 feet of elevation change over 23 miles, so I ditched the big camera bag and stuffed my point and shoot into my Deuter Zip Pack Lite. I've never used it for that purpose but was stoked to find out it fit perfect.
The Prezi can be done as a one-day sprint from dawn to dusk or as an overnighter. Wanting to spend as much time as possible in the mountains, we chose to do it over two days. We hiked it from north to south instead of the reverse. Hiking and rock scrambling 4,000 feet in the first four miles up to Mount Madison is an endeavor all in itself. The boulders we scrambled over were pitted and sharp from the intense weather, and I could only compare them to lava rock found in Hawaii. After you reach elevation, the hardest part is done and you can take in back-to-back summits miles of tremendous views.
This article was originally posted on the Deuter blog, check it out and give it a follow!
I love researching gear almost as much as I love using it. I truly believe that there is no one perfect piece of equipment, but with that state of mind there is always room for improvement. The best equipment can make your experience that much easier and more comfortable, but at a cost. Top of the line shells, mid layers, and base layers could cost you well over $2000.00. Some people may not have to bat an eye at that but I can't even afford a Gore-Tex jacket right now. People have been hiking throughout the winter long before $2000.00 outfits were ever an option. Here are some budget tips to keep the money in your pockets and your feet outside.
Matt (the Live and Let Wander daddy of the fam), and I have been an item since the late nineties. We met in high school and almost instantly bonded over our mutual love of sushi, 80's movies, and punk rock. We were both musicians (he slapped the bass with friends in a garage band who covered the Foo Fighters and Blink 182, while I was a theater geek who sang everything everywhere), and our passion for music has been in the forefront of our relationship for the past 17 years.
We have rocked out at countless concerts together, and have jammed for endless hours together while dreaming up our next adventures (usually while also drinking beer. Beer and music always make for a good starting point for adventure planning).
Music moves us and inspires us, and certain songs just light that fire under us….they make us want to get out there, and see the world! Here are a few of our favorites that always give us that wandering feeling…
"Don't bother to pack your bags or your map, We won't need them where we're goin' We're goin' where the wind is blowin" We love this quote so much we had it turned into a wall cling and it's currently the focal point in our boys bedroom.
"When you want more than you have You think you need And when you when you think more than you want your thoughts begin to bleed, I think I need to find a bigger place 'Cause when you have more than you think You need more space" No song reminds us better that life is not about how many things you can acquire but how many experiences you can cram into one life. This is our pre travel song that reminds us why we spend our money on travel instead of things.
"I speak in many tongues of many men, Argue with angels and I always win" The lyrics are not heavily worded around travel however this song is like much of The Alchemy Index album RAW. It reminds of the the dirt on the trails and the weather on our faces. This is our hiking song.
"The boat and the plank, They are all that I know. The sea calls my name and so I must go" Another song off of The Alchemy Index albums. This is one of the water songs and you will find no better songs to ski or snowboard through fresh powder than those from the "water" and "air" album. They capture the elements in every song. The ebb and flow takes hold of you as you float along.
"Don't hold a glass over the flame, Don't let your heart grow cold, I will call you by name, I will share your road" If the title of song doesn't take hold of you, the song will. With their fast paced folk Mumford rhythm, your heart will start pumping and your feet will start to travel even if your mind is not ready.
"Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me, And when I lose my direction i'll look up to the sky" This entire album is my favorite flight travel album. It puts me at ease (I am an uneasy flyer), and sets me up for whatever adventure I am about to embark on.
"Let's sail away, Find our country, We'll build a house and get tired of palm trees, Let's get away, Let's push our lives aside" I mean, don't you ever just want to build a house on a remote island and open a juice bar? No? Just me? I think I like this one because it makes me think of the beach. And being the mountain dwellers that we are, we don't get to the beach all that often!
We hope that 2017 brings you new adventures, countless memories made, and beautiful music!

Based in Colorado, Jenny has worked with Sculpey polymer clays for over 25 years, and has been delighted by the colorful medium since she was young. Jenny attended art school, but is entirely self taught when it comes to polymer clay. In 2015 Jenny launched her clay studio, Wishing Well Workshop, where she enjoys creating what she calls, "dimensional illustrations", mostly focusing on fantasy art. She spends time conceptualizing her whimsical designs by using her knowledge of structure, composition and color to provide truly one-of-a-kind sculptures. She loves using natural elements like stones and driftwood she's collected from her beloved Montana because she believes that her favorite place should have a place in her art. Jenny Sorensen says her purpose on earth is to create and share, and she finds true joy when she shares her ideas with others through her polymer clay workshops, demonstrations, and lessons across the country.

Marco Noris (Bergamo, Italy, 1971) lives and works in Barcelona.
A drawer and painter in essence, Noris made a foray into the world of video art, net art and photography before re-establishing and re-focusing his artistic practice on painting.
Since 2015 he has experienced painting as a means to develop performative experiences as an extension of his studio work. More recently, he has dedicated himself to walking as an aesthetic and artistic practice with the project with the project On the Border (2017, Barcelona Producció award, La Capella, Barcelona, Spain) and the most recent La entrega (2018, Art i Natura grant from La Panera de Lleida together with the CAN de Farrera, Spain).
In Spain, he has exhibited in Barcelona (La Capella, Galería Trama, Cyan Gallery, Galeria Esther Montoriol, Galeria Contrast, Galeria H2O, The Private Space, Casa Elizalde, Can Felipa, Espai M at La Escocesa, Galeria Sicart, etc.), in Madrid (Matadero), in Castellón (Galería Cànem), in Vic (Roman Temple of Vic, 5th Biennial) and in La Jonquera (MuME – Exile Memorial Museum).

You will be surprised to know that CBD oil can be effectively used in order to treat anxiety. Also, CBD or cannabidiol oil has been known to be an effective remedy for anxiety these days.
Some of the individuals prefer to use CBD oil for soothing day to day worries whereas the others use it in order to treat some of the more serious conditions such as generalized anxiety disorder.
There is the presence of a compound in the marijuana plant which is known as cannabidiol. Nowadays, it has generally increased accessibility as the usage of marijuana is again legalized in many states present in the country.
So, these are mainly used as important natural remedies for many problems related to pain as well as anxiety. When consumed this cannabidiol does not contribute to producing a "high", unlike THC or tetrahydrocannabinol which is also found in marijuana. But, still, now, the usage of this CBD oil is illegal in many states.
When it comes to any kind of cannabis products, there is a wide variation in the state laws. So, before the usage of this particular product, it becomes very much important to consider if the usage of the CBD oil is either legal or illegal in your state.
Uses Of CBD Oil
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, the most common mental illness in the U.S. is considered to be anxiety disorders which affect most of the people each and every year.
Mainly, the disorders related to the anxiety are treated with the help of psychotherapy, medication or a combination of these two. Many of the people usually opt for several self-treated and also standard approaches with many products like CBD oil.
To treat many kinds of medical condition, it is specifically evident from many of the surveys that about 62% of the cannabidiol users have used this CBD. This thing generally applies for many top three conditions such as depression, pain as well as anxiety.
But, still now, there is a lack of research and so, the scientists are not usually sure of the way in which the CBD oil might be useful to treat several issues which are related to anxiety. Some of the conducted research also indicates that the cannabidiol also may influence the receptors which are involved in the modulation of serotonin and also additionally, it impacts the endocannabinoid system.
The serotonin is an important chemical messenger which is considered to play a very important role in the regulation of anxiety.
CBD Or Cannabidiol And Its Particular Effects
There is usually most evidence for the effects of CBD on anxiety which comes from animal studies and also laboratory experiences.
Most of the scientists have analyzed the topic and preferably found that the CBD oil usually shows promise in the acute treatment of several conditions such as panic, anxiety as well as stress disorder.
But, there is currently a lack of some clinical trials which tests the usage of the CBD oil in the treatment of anxiety. A study which was published in the year 2011 in Neuropsychopharmacology also helps in the determination that the CBD may generally help in the alleviation of social anxiety.
It is also evident by most of the results that pre-treatment with the CBD helps in the significant reduction of discomfort, cognitive impairment as well as anxiety. So, there is a gradual presence of the anxiety-reducing effect of the CBD.
Many researchers have found that after the administration of different CBD dosages mainly before a test related to the public speaking, the subjective anxiety measures were again found to be lowered with the CBD dose of 300 mg. This thing does not apply with the 100 or 900 mg dosages of CBD.
So, it is evident from many of the researches that the CBD is preferably used in order to treat anxiety It also helps in the reduction of anxiety along with the acute treatment of conditions such as several panic as well as sleep disorder.
Anxiety related disorders also preferably affect a huge segment of our population nearly about 40 million adults or 18% in the United States which are of 18 years age and older.
So, if you are experiencing any of the symptoms such as irritability, difficulty concentrating, frequent restlessness, fatigue, muscle tension, sleep problems as well as lack of control over particular feelings of worry, then you should essentially talk to your doctor quickly.

Date: 19 May 2009
Location: Tafelberg Road, Table Mountain
Walkers: Dorothy and Helen
**** Route plotted here ****
This was my first walk in ten days - I've been sick, and Cape Town has been having its first winter storms: lots and lots of rain! We knew that there would be a lot of water on the mountain when we saw the stream at Platteklip gushing down into the pond.
We headed up the familiar route, hopping over the water where necessary.
At the intersection with the contour path we turned right, signposted to the cableway's lower station, and followed the contour across the face of Table Mountain. The path runs at the base of the rock face.
It was easy walking along the contour, towards the setting sun. Behind us a wisp of cloud appeared in the Saddle.
At one point we walked under a waterfall!
The sun set quickly, and we had to hurry.
We had a quick peak round the corner towards Camps Bay, before swiftly making our way down the steps at Kloof Corner to our waiting car.

Well, if it works, you should be able to get 100 matched people with the same complaint, and give 50 the herb and 50 placebo, and show that the herb group got better and the placebo group didn't.

Homeopathy works for many ailments, but not all.

Such is my personal experience.

I was completely dismissive of the nonsense that I believed homeopathy to be - on a par with astrology as far as I was concerned.

Then I was, over the course of some months, afflicted with crippling arthritis, couldn't walk, couldn't even chew. Orthodox medicine, up to consultant level, said 'keep taking the pain killers, when you're in a wheelchair we'll look at orthopod surgery.'

This went on for nearly two years, until my wife persuaded me to visit a homeopath as a last resort, and I was too week to resist.

I started to feel better within 3 months, and a further 3 months later I felt human again. No cure was promised, just alleviation. The improvement was maintained, and 20 years later, I seldom have to take analgesics for arthritis.

On the other hand, homeopathy didn't work for another serious affliction, and despite rigorous orthodox investigations, only Internet research provided me with an (orthodox but unusual) medication.

The doc takes years to train, but if that training has been largely funded by Big Pharma, then what is it they are trained in ?

What the fuck? I may not be renowned as a free market fundamentalist, but that's a crock of shite.

'Big Pharma' in no way fund undergraduate training, not even indirectly.

The reason we learn about 'chemicals' is becasue they 'work' and we have 'evidence' that they do, and we have detailed and reasonable 'hypotheses' as to why they work and their effects are largely 'predictable'.

Homeopathy on the other hand is the equivalent of 'religion' - it 'works' becasue someone 'says' it does and no one is going to change your mind about that are they, ergo you have a position of 'faith'.

"But it works for me....."

Just remember, the plural of 'anecdote' is 'anecdotes' - not EVIDENCE.

Give me some 'EVIDENCE' and I will prescribe you water.

Homeopathy is a scam. It 'works' on the placebo effect. Good luck to patients and practitioners but it does not stand the test of clinical trial.

Most doctors are pill pushers. They do not have the time to diagnose which means listening and considering anything other than a diagnososis that fits 80-90% of cases that appear similar. The devil is in the 20%.

I know far more about my three conditions than does my GP. I do self diagnosis via internet and use also the BMA Medicines and Drugs book. My wife likewise knows far more about thyroid etc than does her GP.

I have low expectation from from GP who does his best in tying circs(5 mins per consultation). I have an annual check up by a Cape Town lady GP. She identified two fairly serious conditions that required immediate surgery - my UK GP having told me not to bother with said items of concern.

It's deluded.

"Obviously the intention of putting these buzz-words on bottles is not to inform, but to blind with science. Perhaps realising this people could then ask themselves why fruit additives are good or why washing with herbs will give you an orgasm? At its root, all this obfuscation is playing on the simplistic idea that natural is good and chemical is bad (This ignores everyday facts of life e.g. because we drink chemically-treated water we are utterly free of natural cholera and amoebic dysentry), which brings me, by a roundabout route, to the incredible ignorance surrounding the word 'organic'."

My years as a driving instructor taught me that customers can be irrational and ignorant of the salient facts, with an overblown impression of their own knowledge or skills not reflected by the evidence available to the professional practitioner.

It is, therefore, perfectly reasonable for the supplier to enforce a code of practice or terms of sale. If the customer doesn't like those terms, then they can go elsewhere - which is what I told those people who wanted to use my car for their test when they were patently not ready for it.

Sadly, a lot of it is in pharma products, to the exclusion of any kind of "natural" alternatives, of which there are many.

IF pharma had so many answers, why do we seem to be getting sicker ? My last major problem (memory) was largely sorted out by vitamin B12, given to me by a chiropractor, not mainstream medicin. I later read in the Telegraph that all older people should be taking B12.

Not that the Telegraph is always right, but this DID solve my problem.

I'm a recovering news junkie. At one time in my life I actually thought it would be fun…yes, I said, "fun"…to write political columns, so I paid close attention daily. What I learned through all of it is the news media's job is to make every item seem like it has life-altering consequences and every problem in the world appear as a crisis.
You may not know this, but seldom are they actually anywhere near that important. In fact, things are usually as important as you allow them to be.
While we're clearing the air about addictions…I still have track marks from my sports habit. Not a day would go by that I wouldn't need a fix. It was a bittersweet day when I realized that I was putting most of my energy into games that I wasn't actually playing and had no measure of control.
Only a small number of players, coaches, and team owners have the talent and privilege to prepare for and play in those games for gain. These are the ones who make the news for winning and have the opportunity to reap the benefits.
It's important to note that I've never been paid to watch a professional sporting event. Spectators are seldom in the news and don't draw any real significance from their "involvement" with the team.
Life is much the same as the news and sports. Things are as important as you make them and spectators miss out on the rewards. We are all allowed to play the game of life professionally and millions of people only choose to watch.
These are the ones running from one self-imposed emergency to another and never taking an active role in the outcome of their lives. They are adrift in life, tossed around and directed by the strongest wave or current. Everything seems beyond their control as they scream like victims and refuse to take the helm and engage their circumstances.
Conversely, the players have direction daily. That's right, everyday! They realize how fruitless it is to meander for any period at all. Charting a course and doing your best to navigate is the only way to success.
When the waves are high and currents swift, players make something happen. Sometimes through sheer will; successes refuse to "sit down and take it." These are the times of legend and examples for others to follow are created.
Something else that sticks with me about my sports addiction is the power of association. No matter how rabid of a fan I am…I don't get to hang out with the players. The locker room is reserved for those that play and understand the game.
Great players associate with great players. Spectators hang out with…well, not the players.
Spectators talk with each other about the performances of players while players talk with each other about how to get better and become greater players. They have different habits and understand that decisions are not meant to deprive them of things they enjoy, but to help them focus on activities that really contribute to their growth.
Look at your habits, your plan for each day, and the people with which you associate. What does the evaluation tell you about your position? Do you watch more reality shows than read books? What do you want your life to look like and will your performance now get you there?
You can play the game of life at whatever level you want and the decision is purely yours. Get in the game!
Be your best,

CBS NEWS LAUNCHES "FACE TO FACE," A WEEKLY WEBCAST ON CBSNEWS.COM FEATURING ORIGINAL "FACE THE NATION" CONTENT Webcast Expands Leading Public Affairs Program's Online Footprint Bob Schieffer Interviews Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney on January 4 Debut
CBS News has launched FACE TO FACE, a weekly webcast featuring original FACE THE NATION content, expanding the leading public affairs program's online footprint. Each week, FACE TO FACE will feature a one-on-one interview between Bob Schieffer and a top newsmaker on www.cbsnews.com, on the FACE THE NATION website. The webcast debuts on Jan. 4 as FACE THE NATION anchor and Chief Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer interviews Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney in Des Moines, Iowa, following Romney's first place finish in the Iowa caucuses.
In today's interview, Romney tells Schieffer that he isn't concerned about negative attacks from Newt Gingrich, who just yesterday called the former Governor a liar on CBS News' THE EARLY SHOW. "Sticks and stones will break my bones," Romney says. "I'm not going to worry about what comes my way." Anticipating future attacks from the Democrats, Romney says he doubts the Democratic National Committee will "have to go to Newt to get their attack ads for me. They've got plenty of other people they'll go to and they'll do their own material." As he gears up for Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, Romney tells Schieffer that he can't take the state for granted, noting, "I've got to earn it and work it very hard."
Video of the interview is available here. Click here for full transcript of FACE to FACE with Mitt Romney.

One of the oddest stories on the economics beat over the past week was the recommendation from the OECD that the UK government should spread planned deficit reduction more evenly over the next five years, so as to limit its impact on growth.
It was odd, because the OECD has thus far been unwavering in its support for George Osborne's fiscal consolidation plans, unlike the International Monetary Fund, which having initially backed the UK Chancellor five years ago, all of a sudden, and with spectacularly bad timing, changed its mind and warned that he was "playing with fire" by continuing with "austerity". This warning coincided almost precisely with the resumption of decent levels of growth in the UK economy. The IMF could not have been more wrong.
Tough ask: Chancellor Geoege Osborne (Rex)
It was also odd because the advice seems to be so much at odds with the resigned way in which these international organisations tend to go along with the much harsher levels of austerity being imposed in the crisis-hit nations of the eurozone. What makes it OK for the UK to ease up on the fiscal squeeze, but not Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy? At least in the UK, we have our own currency, and therefore the ability to mitigate the drag on growth from fiscal consolidation with ultra-loose monetary policy. Up until very recently, the eurozone periphery has been denied the painkillers of the central bank printing press.
Odder still is that the OECD should say in virtually the same breath that the UK will have a higher level of growth this year than the rest of the G7, even though it is implementing the same, or a more extreme, degree of fiscal consolidation. The implied threat to growth seems to be contradicted by the forecast reality.
And finally, it is odd because if this is not a good time to be getting on top of the nation's debts, with output growing at a reasonable clip and the economy again close to full employment, it is hard to know what would be. Wait another five years, as the OECD suggests, and another recession is almost bound to have swept in from somewhere, knocking the strategy even further off course. It was back in 2010 that the Chancellor first set out his plans for eradicating the deficit. Five years later, Britain still has one of the biggest such shortfalls as a share of GDP in the OECD. Can it really be sensible to stretch it out even longer? What is the OECD suggesting - that Britain runs a deficit in perpetuity? Well perhaps it is. In a recent paper, the IMF argued that advanced economies could live with much higher levels of public indebtedness than previously thought appropriate.
Back in the real world, the Treasury is beavering away on plans to deliver a budget surplus by 2018/19. We'll know more about how it proposes to do this on July 8, when the Chancellor delivers his "Stability Budget". Whatever the OECD and others say, he's not for turning. The Chancellor is deadly serious, as indeed he should be. The fact is that Britain will not be able to declare the crisis finally over until the deficit is closed and the national debt is on a declining trend.
I don't mean to suggest that overspending by the last Labour government was the cause of the financial crisis. The Tories may have used this always disingenuous claim to some political effect but it is also something of a straw man; nobody serious ever believed it. The collapse in the public finances is, however, powerfully symbolic of the damage the crisis inflicted, as well as the delusions that led up to it. As a nation, we have long been living beyond our means. Excessive government spending was very much a part of this wider picture. The new government has both a clear fiscal plan for setting things right and the democratic mandate to implement it. No decent macro-economic argument has yet been articulated for changing tack.
Whether it works is, on the hand, an entirely different matter. The last attempt plainly didn't. The Coalition religiously stuck to the plan, yet it failed to deliver the desired result of a budget surplus. Powerful economic headwinds, including the eurozone crisis and the commodities price spike, got in the way. I'm doubtful the present one will either.
For starters, the low-hanging fruit has already been plucked, making further cuts a whole lot more difficult. What's more, so many areas of spending have been designated as "protected" that the cuts must necessarily be concentrated on a relatively small number of government functions. The Institute for Fiscal Studies calculates that by the time the squeeze is complete, unprotected departmental spending will have been cut by an astonishing 32.9pc in real terms over eight years.
Getting to that number is not impossible. The private sector manages cuts of this magnitude all the time. HSBC, for instance, has announced a 10pc reduction in its global workforce, including 15pc of UK employees. Yet the public sector doesn't obey the laws of the market. For the Government, the cuts become a big ask from here on it, ironically made more problematic still by a growing economy, which makes it much tougher to hold the line on public sector pay. That's partly why the new Government is so keen on trade union reform. The state is where the trade union movement is still at its strongest.
Even harder will be the planned £12bn of additional cuts to the welfare budget. Again, great swathes of this budget are "protected". Since the election, David Cameron has recklessly added child benefit to the list of untouchable spending, which effectively means all the cuts have to be concentrated on housing benefit, tax credits, and incapacity and disability allowances. This may not be a bad thing in the long term. It is absurd that low pay is topped up through the tax credit system, and that high private sector rents are effectively being supported by housing benefits. These taxpayer funded incentives to low pay and high rents cry out for further, urgent reform.
Even so, all benefit cuts require difficult choices and most of them inevitably hit the poor hardest. Conservatives may have the democratic mandate to make such cuts, but they will inevitably reinforce public perceptions of a cruel and heartless government. And though the planned austerity merely undoes the spending increases of the New Labour years, returning the size of the state to 36pc of GDP - fractionally higher than it was in 1999/2000 - the impact on the fabric of government will actually be much bigger. Underlying demographic pressures make inflation busting increases in healthcare, social care and pensions spending virtually unavoidable, and mean that in a squeezed overall budget, there is much less money for the traditional functions of government than there has been in the past.
Yet it is not so much the difficulty of achieving the cuts that leads me to doubt the goal of a budget surplus by 2018/19 as the assumptions that underlie this forecast – a particularly rosy view of the economic outlook, the scope for productivity gain, continued private sector job creation, and finally, as Liz Martins, an economist at HSBC points out, "a steady rise in corporate and household borrowing to drive growth as the government borrows less".
We have to hope not, but it is all too possible that when Osborne heads for the polls for a third time in 2020, he'll still be promising that elusive balanced budget, just three years off, somewhere over the rainbow.

Layoffs and Lackluster Efforts
by Al Diamon
Layoffs? What layoffs? According to reliable sources, the Bangor Daily News ended 2013 by laying off about a dozen employees. There was no official announcement or explanation, and BDN director of news and new media Tony Ronzio didn't respond to an e-mail seeking confirmation. But it appears at least one reporting position was lost, not to mention a chunk of the newspaper's credibility for covering other companies' cutbacks and ignoring its own.
Lobbying? What lobbying? On Jan. 3, WCSH-TV anchor Pat Callaghan aired a long interview with Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, during which he gingerly inquired about a possible conflict of interest. "Some people get concerned about who's influencing Congress," Callaghan said. "Your husband is, runs a lobbying firm or is a partner in it. Is that …"
Collins cut him off with a sharp "No," and Callaghan seemed to shrivel. "Oh, OK," he said. The senator interrupted again to say her husband, Tom Daffron, is the chief operating officer of a "small consulting firm. He does no lobbying."
As Dan Aibel at the Collins Watch website pointed out, that reply was disingenuous. While Daffron himself doesn't lobby anymore, the company he oversees, Jefferson Consulting Group, does plenty of it, listing lobbying as one of its three "practice areas" on its website.
If Callaghan had done minimal research, he'd have been able to inquire about Jefferson's involvement with clients interested in several issues dealt with by committees Collins sits on. But this being TV news, none of that happened. Instead, Callaghan timidly backed away from that line of questioning and moved on to topics less likely to draw the ire of a powerful politician.
Ombudsman? What ombudsman? Most journalists probably don't know that Maine has an ombudsman in the Attorney General's Office who's supposed to help them, and other members of the public, with requests for public documents under the state's Freedom of Access Act. The position has been around for several years, first without funding and now without much authority. As a result, it's been of little use.
In a Jan. 17 editorial, Lewiston Sun Journal managing editor Judith Meyer laid out the job's shortcomings and detailed efforts to upgrade the post by giving it the power to subpoena records and compel testimony. Meyer also cites examples of the ombudsman's ineffectiveness and how that has affected the public's right to know.
Must reading. And it should make fixing this situation a priority for every news outlet in the state.
Colin in Canada? On Jan. 13, Gov. Paul LePage was a guest on Laura Ingraham's nationally syndicated radio show. Gerald Weinand, of the mostly moribund Dirigo Blue website, heard the broadcast and was roused from retirement to post evidence of another of LePage's trademark falsehoods.
The governor told Ingraham that Portland Press Herald reporter Colin Woodard, who recently wrote an unflattering portrait of LePage for Politico, "once went to Canada to interview my ex-wife and children." The host asked him how that went, and he replied, "Not too good, cuz she slammed the door in his face."
This turned out to be news to Woodard, who told Weinand that while researching a story on the governor's early years for the Portland Phoenix, he contacted LePage's ex-wife in Canada. "I did have a short telephone interview — from Maine — with LePage's first wife," Woodard said, "as she was the best and only source who could set the record straight regarding allegations on liberal blogs that the governor had walked out on his children, not paid child support, and such. I had a very pleasant conversation with her wherein she backed LePage up on these points. … He should be happy I spoke to her."
Radio roundup: Cary Pahigian, the general manager of Saga Communications' seven Portland stations, announced in early January that he was leaving the company after 15 years. In a memo to staff, Pahigian wrote that he wanted a new, unspecified challenge: "I felt that the only way to properly examine what I wanted to do and aggressively pursue that opportunity, was to focus on it 100%. It would be impossible to conduct that process and still remain at my best with the demands of this job." Pahigian's replacement is Bob Adams, late of Cumulus Broadcasting, in Pennsylvania.
• At the Maine Public Broadcasting Network, there'll soon be a new classical music host in the mornings. MPBN announced on Jan. 14 that it had hired Robin Rilette, of Northwest Public Radio in Pullman, Wash., to replace Suzanne Nance, who departed in August to work for a commercial classical station in Chicago. Rilette starts work in February.
• New ratings from Nielsen Audio for Maine's three radio markets were released in early January, but, as usual, the only numbers made public were for stations that subscribe to the Nielsen service. Which ain't all that many. In Portland, Top 40 outlet WJBQ held the top spot with a 7.2 share (average percentage of listeners per quarter hour), followed by classic rock WBLM (6.9), classic hits WFNK (6.3), adult contemporary WHOM (5.9) and country WTHT (5.4). In Bangor, rocker WKIT was number one with a 12.1 share, ahead of talker WZON and adult alternative WZLO, both of which garnered less than a 1 rating. In Augusta-Waterville, Top 40 WMME (10.6) edged country WEBB (9.8), with WFMX (5.7), WCTB (4.1) and WTVL (.8) back in the pack.
FOA on EBT: The Maine Heritage Policy Center's propaganda arm, the Maine Wire, actually committed an act of real journalism this past month. The Maine Wire filed a Freedom of Access request with the LePage administration to obtain data on the use of Electronic Benefit Transfer cards, the plastic that carries welfare benefits. While its first story, by editor Steve Robinson, was heavy on sensationalism ("They may be on welfare, but that doesn't stop them from vacationing") and light on context, the article still prompted a flood of pieces from the mainstream media that showed serious flaws in the system.
The Maine Wire deserves credit for bringing this issue to light and for having the imagination to file such a sweeping FOA request. It's hard to imagine that sort of thinking happening at more conventional news outlets.
Over – or under – board? On Jan. 14, the MaineToday Media newspapers added to the confusion about the company's relationship with developer Robert C.S. Monks. Monks had been a part-owner of the newspaper business and sat on its board of directors. But last year, MaineToday announced he no longer had a stake in the company, although he still served on an "advisory board that meets about twice a year."
In a story in the MTM papers last month about a legal case involving the expansion of broadband service in Maine, Monks, who's an investor in a new fiber-optic network that's being sued, is referred to as a "member of the board of directors of MaineToday Media."
A request for clarification went unanswered.
It was a very good year: On Dec. 30, 2013, the Portland Press Herald ran a quarter-page house ad that read, "Just in time for the exciting 2012 campaigns, our reporters, photographers and columnists are bringing a new intensity and unique perspective to our political coverage."
An historical perspective, no doubt.
Don't ask: The River Valley Community Association of Rumford has been awarded a license for a low-power FM radio station. According to a story in the Jan. 16 Lewiston Sun Journal, the 100-watt facility will be used to promote tourism in the area, and will broadcast music that association director Kevin Saisi described as family-friendly.
"Our goal is to present the area in a good light, and that is hard to do when you are playing songs about alcohol, drugs, violence and promiscuity," Saisi said. "That is not to say that we will be playing Gregorian chants, but rather, selected classic rock and oldies that don't make small children ask questions."
Questions like, "Mom, when does the next bus out of Rumford leave?"
In addition to serving as The Bollard's media critic, Al Diamon writes a weekly political column that runs in the Portland Phoenix, the Downeast Coastal Press, the Daily Bulldog, some Mainely Media weeklies and some Current Publishing papers. He also writes a column for Current's My Generation magazine. He can be e-mailed at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Published the: 15/04/2019
(TAP) - Prime Minister Youssef Chahed said that all necessary measures will be taken to lower the prices of certain products and to face speculation, before the advent of Ramadan.
Chahed, who made an unexpected visit to the wholesale market in Moknine (Monastir governorate) on Monday at dawn, reiterated that his government will be rigorous in this matter, adding that he will have a meeting with all governors in Sousse on Monday to discuss the problem of price increases.
On this occasion, as part of the national emergency plan for reducing prices and preserving citizens' purchasing power, the Prime Minister inquired about the operation to supply the Moknine wholesale market, which is considered to be one of the markets of national interest

Injury Accident vs Personal Injury Case
When Melissa, a 40 year-old grocery shopper, decided to use the store restroom, she ignored the "Caution: Wet Floor" sign blocking the entrance and went running down the freshly mopped hallway. When she slipped and broke her leg, she assumed the store owner would be legally required to pay for her medical bills and lost wages. The answer to whether or not Melissa will be able to collect for her injuries is not easy. It depends on a number of different factors and whether she can prove the store was at fault for her injury.
Elements of a personal injury case
Not every accident gives rise to a personal injury case. Basically, in order to have a claim, your injury must have been caused by the negligence of another individual, property owner, property management company or even a local, state or federal government. There may be more than one party responsible for your injury.
There are four things you must prove in order to hold a party or parties legally liable for your injury so that you can be awarded damages:
It may seem easy, but it is not. For example, in our scenario, the store owed Melissa a duty to act reasonably under the circumstances. Whether or not they acted reasonably will depend on the nature of the warning sign, where it was placed, if it was clearly visible, did it really act as a blockade to the entrance, and any other relevant factor. Was the floor just wet as one would expect from a freshly mopped floor, or were there unexpected puddles? If a court finds the store acted reasonably and complied with its duty of care by providing the warning sign and blockade, Melissa will not be able to collect damages for her injury.
Types of personal injury cases
There are personal injury situations where one party is clearly at fault. For example, a driver runs a red light and broadsides another vehicle causing serious injury to the passengers. A surgeon leaves a sponge or instrument inside a patient during an operation. A drug manufacturer fails to warn about a known side effect of a product. As a result, a user suffers serious injuries.
Almost any time one party's carelessness causes another to be injured, a personal injury claim can be filed. When liability is clear, insurers of negligent parties often make low-ball settlement offers, knowing the injured person needs money and will be tempted to take it even if it does not seem to be enough.
How to determine if you need an attorney
If injuries are minor and cause only an inconvenience, you likely do not have a case and do not need an attorney. If Melissa had only damaged her shoes, she could just pick herself up and be done with it. Since she broke her leg and needs medical treatment, and is possibly losing time off of work, she should seek the advice of an attorney.
Even though it seems that the store fulfilled its duty to warn her of a dangerous condition, investigation may determine that the warning sign had smudged letters and was not placed where it was clearly visible. The blockade may have been placed so that it did not really act as a blockade but was off to one side or leaning against a wall.

The role of an attorney is to always look out for the best interest of the client. That may mean negotiating the best settlement offer possible or taking the case to trial. Studies show that injured parties who are represented by an attorney end up with more money in their pockets than those who pursue their claims on their own.
Most personal injury attorneys offer a free consultation where they review the circumstances surrounding the injury and determine whether or not it is a good idea to pursue a claim or file a personal injury lawsuit.
