Giant ground sloths (Megatherium and Ere-motherium spp.) roamed the Americas at the end of the last ice age. Shortly after humans entered the scene, the giant sloths disappeared from the New World's cast of characters, as did mammoths (Mammuthus spp.), the big-horned Bison antiquus, and many other large mammals. The exact cause of the Late Pleistocene megaherbivore extinctions remains a matter of debate, but the timing of these extinctions, following so quickly upon the heels of man's arrival, suggests more than mere coincidence.
Several species of the genus Megatherium inhabited North and South America. These creatures, weighing several tons, were some of the largest mammals ever to walk the earth. Next to a giant ground sloth, a 500-pound grizzly bear would seem puny in comparison. Unlike their much smaller arboreal relatives, the modern two- and three-toed sloths (Choloepus and Bradypus spp.), the giant ground sloths were terrestrial, and skeletal evidence indicates that despite their massive size they were able to stand up on their hind legs using their stout tails for balance (Casinos, 1996). The smaller forelimbs armed with huge claws were most likely used to strip leaves and bark from trees. One author (Farina, 1996) has recently theorized that some of the giant sloths may in fact have been carnivores, using their dexterous forelimbs and sharp claws for hunting, but the small, blunt teeth would appear to have been better adapted for a herbivorous diet.
A few early paleontologists were tantalized by the discovery of bits of sloth skin, which seemed so fresh that they believed the animals had been recently alive. However, further examination of these specimens using radiocarbon dating has revealed that they are in fact much older and simply very well preserved because of environmental factors. It is generally agreed that all of the giant ground sloths became extinct about 10,000
years ago—shortly after the arrival of humans in the New World.
Scientists who theorize about the cause of the great wave of extinctions that swept through the large and medium-size herbivores in the Late Pleistocene are generally divided into two camps. Some believe that climate change and the retreat of the glaciers led to changes in vegetation, which caused the herbivores' demise. Others believe that the primary force was predation by human hunters. Large herbivores have relatively low reproductive rates, and their populations decline rapidly if predation surpasses the low population growth threshold (Owen-Smith, 1989). Most scientists believe that a combination of factors was involved.
The "keystone herbivore" hypothesis proposed by Norman Owen-Smith suggests that the megaherbivores were not only among the victims of the great wave of extinctions that occurred in the Late Pleistocene, but they may also have played a key role in the genesis of this extinction event. According to the hypothesis, large herbivores are instrumental in modifying the landscape by clearing old growth and making way for savanna and forest regeneration. These changes may make the landscape more favorable for smaller, more selective herbivores. A modern example of this has been observed in areas where elephant populations have been eliminated. In the absence of the megaherbi-vores, thickets and woody vegetation overgrow the savannas, making them less hospitable to other grazing herbivores. Elimination of the Pleistocene megaherbivores by human predation or climate change would have also resulted in secondary changes in vegetation that might have had a cascade effect, resulting in the loss of other species dependent upon the megaherbivore-modified landscape (ibid.).

Truth and Falsehood
Jim Jones was the founder of the Peoples Temple. He adopted elements of Christianity and combined them with communist and socialist ideas, in addition to an emphasis on racial equality. The Peoples Temple is best known for the 1978 events in Jonestown, Guyana, where more than 900 of Jones' followers died in a cult murder/suicide, including 276 children. The tragedy at Jonestown would be the greatest single loss of American civilian life in an intentional act until the 9/11 attacks.
The FBI recovered a 45-minute audio recording of Jim Jones (known as the "death tape"), calmly urging his adult followers to drink cyanide-laced Flavor Aid once they had given it to their children. The original thought was that the poison was squirted into some children's mouths, and that there was no emotional outburst or panic. The tape revealed otherwise, as it recorded the horrendous shrieking and screaming of children and babies as they were forced to take the poison.
Jones was once regarded as a rational man, and Rosalynn Carter (in her campaign tour for her husband Jimmy) even referred to him as being "so inspirational." Jim Jones is one of the most radical examples of spiritual deception; yet, sadly, there are others like him. History is replete with individuals who (in a diversity of ploys) have influenced people contrary to faith in the true God and His holy Word, the Bible, and thus have damaged and even destroyed lives.
A cult is any religious movement that has teachings and/or practices that deviate from the doctrines of historical, orthodox Christianity. Deviation means the abandoning, the distorting, or the opposing of doctrines and teachings of biblical Christianity. To be orthodox means to affirm those beliefs and teachings regarded as fundamental by the majority of Christians, since the church was formed at Pentecost in the first century.
Cults arise for various reasons. Specifically, cults originate by adding spurious and unorthodox beliefs and ideas to the Christian faith. Cults subtract certain biblical doctrines and truths, which often is expressed by denying fundamental biblical teachings. Cults develop certain isolated truths, and then distort or overemphasize them. Cults attempt to combine many religious beliefs and faiths into a unified doctrinal system, and prosper because of outright fraud.
Although they claim to be aligned with Christianity, and may even confess belief in Jesus, cults invariably do not believe that salvation is a gift of the grace of God, which comes to a sinner through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Cults may even affirm teachings that are contrary to what Jesus taught. They do not affirm and recognize the Bible as the supreme and final authority in all matters of belief, doctrine, and faith.
Know the Truth
Although cults assert belief in Jesus, they teach that He is not sufficient for salvation, and thus one must do other things in addition to believing in Jesus. Cults affirm that salvation is achieved through Jesus in addition to works. When the book of Galatians was written, the Judaizers were promulgating the same error: "believe in Jesus Christ, but there are also wonderful things to add to what you believe." Judaizers preached the gospel plus observance of the Law of Moses.
In the current day, counterfeits of the gospel of God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ preach "the gospel plus" their extra-biblical ideas and beliefs; their religious organization, their regulations, their rules, and (alleged) special revelations. In response to such false teachings that add to the gospel of grace, the Bible declares, "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!" (Gal 1:8).
God has committed the gospel of grace to His people, and they must guard it and share it with others (Gal 2:6-10). God does not seek "those who were of high reputation" (v. 6); rather, He looks for those who are faithful stewards (1 Cor 4:1-2). The only thing that truly matters for a steward is to be found faithful to the one whose property is managed. God is the one to whom all servants must answer, because success will be judged by Him alone (1 Cor 3:2-5).
When there is the possibility that someone else is undermining your faithful stewardship, it is frequently necessary to confront that individual, to be certain all you have accomplished is not undone. Face-to-face explanation of your intents may elicit blessing as opposed to disagreement. When your goals are rejected, you will find yourself in contention, yet it is most prudent to heed the biblical example for confrontation seen in Galatians 2. There will always be individuals spreading falsehood, yet God's stewards must never abandon truthfulness. Confronting error is always necessary; yet do not neglect the unity of true believers (cf. Eph 2:11-22).
The gospel message is "living water," and whoever partakes from it finds that it is "a well of water springing up to eternal life" (John 4:14; 7:38). False teachers pollute the gospel by proclaiming that salvation is achieved by any means other than by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Many today seek to earn God's favor through a set of rules or various rituals. Whenever someone tries to earn God's favor or eternal life, they are drinking from a polluted and deadly stream. If a person wants to work for his or her salvation, they are saying the death of Jesus Christ was unnecessary. Jesus Christ died for humanity, because no person can achieve his or her own salvation.
Recognize the Lie
False teachers are genuinely deceptive. Jesus compared them to "ravenous wolves" that "come to you in sheep's clothing" (Matt 7:15). Second Corinthians 11:15 says they "disguise themselves as servants of righteousness." In a manner similar to the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 7:15-20) and the Olivet Discourse (24:5, 11, 24), wherein Jesus warned against false prophets and teachers, Second Peter 2 also provides a warning regarding the hazards of spiritual deception.
Second Peter 1:19-21 referenced true prophets, while 2:1-3 warns that false teachers will inevitably manifest among the community of believers. Acts 20:29-30 predicted "savage wolves" arising among God's people, "speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them." One must be on guard, because those teaching falsehood "secretly introduce destructive heresies" (2 Pet 2:1).
What might appear to be a difference of opinion regarding certain biblical teachings, eventually has the possibility of becoming a deviation and even denial of Christ as Lord and Savior. The concern is not with those who may differ on the interpretation of a verse or two; rather, the problem is with the person whose own interpretation is demanded as solely authoritative, or else they will divide the body of believers. Scripture warns that such heresies bring "swift destruction" upon those who teach them and to those who follow them.
The description of the false teachers is understandable enough to help identify them, and vivid enough to spur one to avoid them. Knowing the truth of God's Word is crucial for not being fooled by error. A person is easy prey if he or she cannot discern the methods and teachings of false teachers. Not only should one reject the false teachings, but also their sensual life (2 Pet 2:2-3). False teachers are indulgent, living to please themselves (v. 10). They also "despise authority," which primarily refers to their rejection of the lordship of Christ and their denial of His majesty and power.
Rebels crave recognition; thus, they want to be regarded as the most important, and in their reckless attitude they defy God and others. False teachers are focused upon themselves, seeking only personal gratification and recognition. In their arrogance, "they revile angelic majesties . . . who are greater in might and power" (vv. 10-11). With an exaggerated view of themselves, false teachers are not afraid to speak against God's angels or even God Himself. Always be wary of anyone who speaks maliciously of earthly and heavenly authorities, even of Satan himself.1
False teachers are "springs without water and mists driven by a storm" (v. 17). The boastful, superficial words of these false teachers may be enticing (v. 18), especially to new believers who are just learning that Christian freedom is the ability to do what is right, as based upon God's Word, the Bible. Ironically, they promise freedom yet are "slaves of corruption" (v. 19).
The remedy to false teaching is "the pure milk of the word" (1 Pet 2:2), yet those in error prefer their own lusts, whereby they entice "unstable souls." Similar to Balaam, who ignored God's warnings because of his love for money (Numb 22:1-34; Jude 11), false teachers forsake "the narrow gate" that leads to life for the broad road of greed, pride, and sex (2 Pet 2:14-16; cf. Matt 7:13-14). Many of those who proclaim a prosperity gospel succumb to Balaam's error and make a travesty of the Word of God, the Bible. "They are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things" (Phil 3:18-19).
The Bible distinguishes between people who profess faith in Christ and those who truly follow Jesus as Lord and Savior (2 Pet 2:20-22). Apparently, the false teachers associated with believers, yet did not truly embrace Jesus Christ in faith; thus, they returned to "the defilements of the world." Be certain you are heeding the Good Shepherd (John 10:27-28). Because He has revealed Himself in the Bible, make the study of God's Word a priority and thereby apply its truths to your own life.
1 Satan presently has access to God (Job 1:6), and his abode is in the heavenly realm (Eph 6:12). Satan is also active upon the earth (Job 1:7; 1 Pet 5:8). Revelation 12:8 prophecies a time in which "there was no longer a place for them [Satan and his demons] in heaven." The expulsion of Satan from heaven in Revelation means that he no longer has access to God's presence only at this particular time in the future, or he was previously banished from the presence of the Lord, yet has access to the lower heavens.

Are you currently looking for that best method to advertise for you personally home business?
You need to pat your self on the rear, since most individuals will simply try something and hope it works. Whether it does not they carry on doing exactly the same things again and again anyway and hope that things change or they simply up and quit.
That's not a way to create your home business effective. You have to understand the best method to advertise after which stick with it.
Locating the Best Method to Advertise For The Home Business Does not Need to be Mind Numbing
Many people with a home business are killing themselves looking for that ultimate goal of promoting. They need that certain guaranteed method that will have them a lot of sales, or newbies for his or her home business chance.
Nevertheless the best method to advertise is not to possess a single tactic, but rather to possess a marketing funnel in position. This may a couple of things for you personally.
First it sets some misconception so your advertising becomes automated. For example, whenever you create a website that collects leads or subscribers, after which an e-mail advertising campaign that's established to instantly send messages to individuals leads, your existence all of a sudden and rapidly becomes monumentally simpler.
Second, it enables you to hit your prospects from more angles and enables you to achieve them again and again. The thing is whenever you setup your advertising to ensure that if somebody comes to your website they either buy or leave, then you need lost that purchase forever when they leave.
However if you simply generate a marketing funnel then you need infinite occasions to obtain your advertising message to them. This can improve your conversions very rapidly, leading you to definitely a lot more products sales and/or people registering for your company chance.
This enables you to definitely touch these folks with the medium they react to best. The thing is many people will respond far better to video than the others, while some will not see a video that they need to sit lower before, and can happily put a sound on their own computer without anyone's knowledge when they do other activities. Others will respond best towards the written word so providing them with a totally free report is the best bet.
The truth is you have to setup the right path of advertising so you speak to your prospects and leads on the more frequent basis, as opposed to a one shot deal. Once you accomplish that you increase you chances at success with your home business substantially.
So you'll hear lots of people touting the best method to advertise, and provide you with a tactic, but you've now learned that there are nobody best way except to setup a method that enables for multiple ways.

People With Disabilities The nature, causality, assessment, prevention, accommodation, and my personal reflection of the hearing loss will be discussed in my paper. I. Nature of the Exceptionally: According to Gallaudet University, approximately 1 of every 1,000 infants is born deaf while 6 of every 1,000 are born with some degree of hearing loss. Permanent hearing loss at birth annually affects 24,000 infants in the USA. In other words, 6 infants per 1,000 will have a hearing loss in a least one ear that will affect communication, cognition, and educational development. Twenty to thirty percent of hearing loss in children occurs during infancy and early childhood.
Some will suffer hearing loss in one ear or possibly both. There are different types of hearing loss. A conductive hearing loss occurs in the middle ear. This is where three small bones involved in hearing are located. A hearing loss that occurs in this part of the ear is usually temporary.

A chronic or recurrent ear infections may cause a hearing loss in the middle ear. There are cases where there is a malformation in this area that can be improved or corrected through surgery. There are occasions when a problem in the middle ear can not be corrected. A sensori-neural hearing loss occurs in the middle ear and indicates that there is nerve damage. This type of loss is not reversible.
In summary, there are different natures of hearing loss some that can be corrected or others that are irreversible. II. Etiology/Causality: Parents sometimes ask "Why did this happen to my child?" In some cases, the cause of a childs hearing loss may be easy to trace. There may be a family history of deafness, a congenital condition, an illness, an accident, a prescribed medication, etc., that may obviously be cause of the hearing loss. In many cases, there may be no obvious reason for the hearing loss. Parents must come to understand that they may likely never know the cause of this hearing loss. In my case, Meningitis was the cause of my hearing loss. When I was one year old, I was not responding to my parents calls. They took me to the hospital to get tested and found that I had Meningitis.
III. Assessment Many birthing facilities in our country have currently adopted the "Universal Testing" of all infants for hearing loss. The two most frequently used measures for testing infants are the ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response) and Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs). Both measures can be made on an infant while he or she is sleeping and requires no response from the child. The ABR monitors brain activity.
It looks specifically, however, the activity that happens in response to sound. OAEs are a quick, non-invasive probe measure that determines cochlear, or inner ear, function. The importance of early childhood development is critical for a child with a hearing loss. Early diagnosis and intervention of hearing loss can mean the difference between toddlers entering school with severe language and concept delays versus children with age appropriate language and concept development. Early hearing screening paves the way for children to be able to begin life on an equal footing with their hearing peers.
Recent research at Gallaudet University indicates that children whose hearing losses are identified in the first 6 months of life, and who receive intervention services, developed language within the normal range. IV. Prevention/Remediation/Accommodation: The law mandates that public schools are responsible for providing an "appropriate education" within the childs neighborhood school. School districts are required to educate students the least restrictive environment with the related services necessary to allow for their success. Some counties/states will have what is called "cluster programs." This is when classes for the deaf or hard of hearing are located in specific schools. Students can be in an environment with a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing and deaf and hard of hearing peers but also be in a regular school setting. Another options for family is a school for the deaf.
Most schools for the deaf now offer different communication options from which a family can choose. Schools must take "language and communication needs, opportunities for direct communications with peers and professional personnel in the childs language and communication mode, academic level, and full range of needs, including opportunities for direct instruction in the childs language and communication mode" into consideration. This does not mean that the peer will also have a hearing loss but should be able to communicate in the deaf or hard of hearing childs mode of communication. Many parents choose to have their children in a setting where other deaf and hard of hearing students are also in attendance thereby allowing for friendships with other deaf and hard of hearing students to develop naturally. Teacher may need to adjust their classroom to meet the students needs.
The teacher must focus on reducing background noises as much as possible. To reduce background noises the classroom can have carpeting, area rugs, or drapes. If the classroom do not have drapes, tennis balls can be attached to the bottom of chair legs to stop chairs from scraping on the floor. Noise absorbing material such as a corkboard can be added to the classroom as well. The teacher should consider background noise when choosing the childs seating placement. The school should adjust their teaching strategies to accommodate their students needs.
When teaching in the classroom, the teacher needs to remember that a hearing aide do not"correct" hearing in the same way that eyeglasses correct vision. When speaking to the class, the teacher needs to be in a distance where the child will be able to understand speech and speak at a normal tone. They need to remember that the deaf or hard or hearing child may have fluctuating hearing loss as a result of colds or ear infections changing what we can hear from day to day. There are communication options that teachers can use in the classroom. American Sign Language (ASL) is a manual language that is distinct from spoken English. Extensively used within and among deaf community.
English is, however, taught as a second language. Closed Captioning is way of communication used on the television set. Words appear on the bottom of the screen to communicate to a deaf or hard of hearing student. Another form of communication is an interpreter. Interpreters are used for deaf and hard of hearing students to communicate in ASL what the teacher is discussing.
Total Communication is the philosophy of using every to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing students. The child is exposed to a formal sign-language system, finger spelling, natural gestures, speech reading, body language, oral speech, and use of amplification. The idea is to communicate and teach vocabulary and language in any manner that works in the classroom. V. Personal Reflections: When I wrote this paper, I have never given my "culture" background any thought. Deaf culture is part of my life.
I have basically been raised in more of a hearing culture setting then a deaf culture setting. I went to school with my hearing peers but yet had many deaf friends. I went through the nature, causality, assessment, and the accommodation discussed in this paper. I have experienced this first hand and am lucky to have this support. Deaf and hard of hearing has their advantages.
We have a right to sit up front at a concert or event. We can also shut people out by just switching off our hearing aides. Being part of the Deaf community is a great experience and I would not change that for the world.

A person addicted to marijuana is basically controlled by it. The person becomes less interested in any other activity and focuses on marijuana to the detriment of their life goals. Marijuana addiction is a progressive illness and will most times move a step higher to addiction to other drugs and/or alcohol. Marijuana addicts are basically focused on having enough of it and stay high.
Addiction is a progressive and continuous problem. When an attempt by an addict to quit marijuana fails, his implies that the individual is not willing and commitment to that course. When living becomes unbearable without marijuana then that is a classic case of addiction. The moment an addict realizes that they cannot do without marijuana, the dependency becomes an obsession. And when an addict still uses it even after they have convinced themselves to quit, this is known as compulsion.
Addicts believe that they don't have any medical problem. Marijuana addicts most especially like to think that they must be "alright" because they feel that there are much worse drugs out there, and someone somewhere is having it worse than they are as a result of their using. That is a perfect example of denial.
Marijuana addiction is a physical, spiritual and mental disease. The physical aspect involves the compulsion; the addiction itself. The mental aspect entails the obsession or the ever burning desire to keep using at the expense of their health. Spiritual aspect of the disease is our total self-centeredness.
Suggestions to Family Members and Friends of Marijuana Addicts
Addicts in recovery have discovered through the twelve steps that they are responsible for their actions and choices. If a loved one helps an addict prevent a crisis, they ultimately get rid of the opportunity for the addict to solve the problem or fail. This will in turn make it more difficult for the addict to sense the problem and seek necessary help.
As the problem worsens and the addict nears the end, loved ones tend to enable the addict, by giving them the opportunity to postpone the inevitable consequences of their addiction. Although the intention to help maybe borne out of care and help by loved ones, in the form of money (which most likely go into the purchase of more marijuana), rent, pay bills, bail them out of jails and so on. This action of trying to save the addict from themselves is doing more harm than good.
Addicts tend to use guilt, sympathy and anger to trick loved ones. This is a common behaviour used by addicts to get what they want by manipulation or coercing their loved ones into giving in to their demands.
Support For You
When family, spouse or other loved ones are going through an addiction it can also be hard for you to lead a normal and healthy life. You require support too. The 12 step support groups for friends and family, church groups and therapy is a viable option. These support groups can help you live a normal life irrespective of what may be going on with your loved one.
Remember that addiction diseases affects the addicts just as much as it would impact on the addict's loved ones too.

Oh What Fun!!~Cuttlebug Spot Design Team~
Happy Mon.!
Hi~ya All,
Hope all is well. This is my card entry for the CuttlebugSpot DT, this week. The challenge was to use a CB folder, and a punch. I used my Christmas Tree folder, and the MS lace-punch. The tree is embossed on Aqua metallic foil board, with small blue metallic florets and pearl centers. Tiny Aqua colored jingle bells added to the ribbon bow. Inside is lined to match, and created matching envelope with PS. Hope you like it, as my back was killing me, and I needed to come up with something quick. TFL
Catcha later!

We took fan conversations from the touchscreen to the big screen.
Let's face it: Fans love to talk about their team. But in the age of experiences, they also want to talk to their team. The Philadelphia Phillies collaborated with Merit to launch a social media experience at Citizen Bank Park that brought fans closer to the game with dynamic displays of real-time posts from the ballpark.
Market Reality
Social media has become one of the best ways for sports teams to engage with their fans, but the Phillies felt they could do more by bringing fans' social conversations into the experience of game day.
Market Opportunity
Philadelphia fans are passionate about being heard. Merit developed a custom application to harness the energy of Phillies fans on social media by displaying their conversations all around the ballpark. Using the application, fans can post social media content and almost immediately see it come alive on the display.
Invention Strategy
Merit helped the Phillies marketing department take its social media a step further by creating an immersive digital cafe in Ashburn Alley. This space allows fans to enjoy the game in a luxe lounge area, complete with phone chargers and sweeping views of the park that now includes a front row seat to the larger conversation taking place in the fan community.
A Custom App for Game Day
Merit collaborated with the Phillies to launch PhanConnect, a custom-built display that measures roughly 6' x 4' and features API feeds from social media venues, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. An administration console also allowed team personnel to manage and curate content from anywhere in the stadium.
By the Fans, For the Fans
Merit designed and programmed an entire system architecture to support a multi-channel mix of social media content. This application allows the Phillies to leverage social media for contests, promotions, and sponsorship opportunities, as well as tracking analytics for ROI purposes.
1 / 2
We think we have the best social display in the game, and we've gotten a good amount of feedback to support that."
Michael Harris, Director, Marketing and Special Projects, PHILLIES
What is Market Invention?
It's the new era of marketing.
Market Invention is the process of creating and maintaining market dominance by leveraging insight, purpose, position, and experience to establish, grow, and maintain customer and company value.

Ovance & RPM, the low AMH solution was formulated by Dr. Martin after a local IVF clinic started using the AMH test in 2009. Shortly after that, devastated clients started filtering into Dr. Martin's office hoping for a better solution than what IVF offered and a way to naturally increase anti mullerian hormone. He hadn't heard of low AMH at that stage and after turning to scientific literature to learn more, a basic idea of the problem was created.
With a deep understanding of Chinese herbal medicine and theory, Dr. Scott Martin came up with an approach. The first client he tried his formula on had AMH levels of 0.02 pmol/l ( > 0.1 ng/ml). Eight weeks later she was pregnant.
Women with low AMH levels are unable to fertilize their eggs and IVF has very low success rates. Dr Scott Martin.
Over the next few years, more and more women presented with the same problem: low AMH. Data collected from ongoing hormone tests provided scientific evidence of the effectiveness of the formula in increasing the anti mullerian hormone. By 2013, another formula was included with the original formula, to try and improve results. It worked. Success with the two formulas prompted wider trials that began in 2014. Willing clients repeated AMH hormone tests while using the formulas.
Ovance & RPM combination restores ovarian health to produce the best quality eggs you can grow. It works on AMH levels as low as 0.1 ng/ml or 0.02 pmol/l.
Many successful pregnancies have come from using the Ovance & RPM combination. Improved AMH and FSH levels are normal using the combination for the right amount of time. Ovance & RPM are effective combinations to treat low AMH levels and restore fertility to a woman's eggs.
Ovance & RPM have the following effects:
- Increase the natural production of AMH within the body.
- Increase Anti Mullerian hormone levels
- Lower high FSH levels.
- Correct imbalances of AMH to FSH ratios.
- Correct natural hormone production without adding hormones to the body.
- Promote healthy egg growth.
- Increase the number of follicles growing within the ovaries
- Restore fertility to your eggs.
- Raises pregnancy rates.
- Create natural pregnancies when doctors said you couldn't
- Reduce chromosomal abnormalities in eggs and babies, associated with low AMH levels.
for the most optimal outcomes
See the research
Compare changes in AMH levels and pregnancy rates from over 300 clients.
New mothers in their 40's are becoming more common. Falling pregnant in your 40's is harder than in your 20's, yet the desire for children comes at different ages. There are some critical things you should know to help you fall pregnant in your 40's. Learn about getting pregnant naturally after 40.
Low AMH is no the end to your fertility; it is a problem to overcome. Low AMH levels are a big problem for IVF…they don't have to be your problem too. Here are 10 things you should know right now.
Visiting your doctor is the first port of call for most people when sick. Today the idea that "If my doctor can't help me, then no-one can," is standard for many people.

SHALIMAR � Many scams circulating this tax season regard rebates, refunds, tax law changes and audits, the Okaloosa County Sheriff�s Office stated.
Beware of unsolicited calls or emails from someone claiming to be with the IRS. Scams also include the following.
�Rebate Call: "You are entitled to a sizeable rebate for filing your taxes early,� the caller states. To make a "direct deposit" to your account, scammers require your bank account information. If you refuse to supply this information, you will not receive the rebate, the scammer states.
�Refund: You are entitled to a "refund," a fraudulent email states. You must click on the link to access the refund claim form. The form asks for personal information.
�Changes to the Tax Law scam: This email alerts you of changes in the tax law, including deductions and tax savings. Clicking on a link downloads viruses that give someone remote access to the computer. Alternatively, it collects passwords and other information for the con-artist.
�Paper check scam: A caller says, "Your refund check has not been cashed.� The person claims to need your bank account information to send you your refund.
Actually, the IRS allows you to decide between a check or direct deposit to your account.
�Audit email: The email directs you to click on the link to fill in forms with personal and account information. Scammers use this information to steal your identity.
�The IRS does not send unsolicited emails about tax account matters.
�The IRS uses your tax return�s information to process your refund.
�Filing a tax return is the only way to apply for a tax refund
�Go to www.irs.gov and click on the "Where�s My Refund?" link to track a refund.
�To access the IRS website, initiate the contact by typing in www.irs.gov. Do not click on a link.

Ironside by Holly Black
This book is the sequel to Tithe, where we first meet Kaye and Roiben, and which I absolutely loved.
At the end of Tithe, Roiben had overthrown the Queen of the Unseelie Court, and now Ironside begins at Roiben's coronation.
Kaye is tricked into declaring her love to Roiben at the coronation, and he is forced to send her on what seems like an impossible quest.
Thinking that Roiben had rejected her declaration by sending her on a quest she could never complete, Kaye feels sorry for herself and makes a series of apparent mistakes, one of which is telling her mother that she's actually a changeling and not the real Kaye that her mother gave birth to years ago. Kaye's a pixie, and her mother is horrified when she finds out.
Meanwhile, the Queen of the Seelie Court plots to dethrone Roiben, and Roiben have to find a way to defeat her.
As with Tithe, I loved Ironside. Holly Black has an easy way of writing that makes it so enjoyable to read her books and get lost in a whole other world. I fell in love with Roiben in Tithe, and while we don't see as much of him in Ironside as I would like, I'm still in love with him.
It took me a while to get a hold of this book, but I finally found it a few weeks ago at a bargain book sale. I'll continue looking out for Holly Black's other books, and I'm sure I'll enjoy all her other interesting tales of the faeries!

PACE | Altamed
AltaMed's PACE Changes Lives for the Better
The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE, was established by Medicare to help independent seniors with complex medical needs. The program helps participants avoid nursing homes and instead, receive the care and services necessary to help them stay safe, comfortable, and healthy living in their own home.
PACE offers care coordination, transportation, social services, and meals, all in a positive, comfortable environment. It's health care that puts the focus on 'care,' connecting seniors with peers in their community as well as the PACE staff who are committed to treating participants with dignity, respect, and compassion.
A Track Record of Success
PACE has been a cornerstone of AltaMed's success since 1996. In fact, AltaMed was California's first licensed and accredited PACE program. AltaMed's PACE program has grown to 8 centers, serving over 2,500 seniors every year.
Who's Eligible for PACE
PACE is for independent seniors (55+) who may need assistance in performing activities of daily living but can still live in their homes and navigate their communities with the help of PACE services. Medicare-eligible seniors who live in the PACE service area are encouraged to apply.

Every PACE Participant is different, and so are their needs. Let a few of our seniors tell you about their experiences -- and what keeps them coming back.
With clean, modern facilities, no wonder so many seniors say PACE is their "home away from home".
Our Facilities
No one enjoys going to the doctor – but seniors around the country love the PACE program. AltaMed designed our PACE facilities to house exceptional care facilities and include a comfortable environment that feels welcoming and inclusive to our daily visiting participants.
They're modern and clean, equipped with the latest medical equipment.
Most importantly, PACE facilities are located in the heart of the communities we serve.

At home, you've got your family. Here, you've got a dedicated team, with each person playing an important role.
A Team Approach
PACE is much more than just "adult day care:" we are committed to helping participants thrive, physically, mentally, and even emotionally. That means that each participant has a team of staff and specialists behind them, offering personalized attention on a regular basis.
When you sign up for PACE, you'll get your own care plan – a detailed course of action that's designed to keep you healthy and strong while addressing any current or potential health risks. It may sound like a lot, but you'd be surprised by how much you can do when you have the right team behind you.
In addition to doctors and nurses to address physical and mental well-being, PACE staff includes social workers who can help you find community resources that can make you and your family's lives easier. This team model has been proven to deliver better care, and higher participant satisfaction rates. It's a win-win!

Our PACE vans provide comfortable transport for participants and make life easier for caregivers, too.
Seniors should never feel like they're a burden on their caregivers, and PACE transportation can help you feel more independent, as well as providing an opportunity for daily socializing outside your home.
The PACE vans have become a fixture in our communities – in fact, for many, it's their first experience with AltaMed. As part of their PACE program, seniors will be picked up from their homes and then dropped back off at the end of the day in these colorful vans.
Those PACE participants who require additional support may also receive transportation and a helpful escort to get them to specialist appointments.

Going from doctor to doctor can be exhausting and take all day. That's why many PACE services are under one roof.
Health Services
PACE was originally created to meet the needs of seniors with complex health conditions that required numerous trips to the doctor and other medical professionals. The idea is that by having all of these services in the same place, it's easier for participants, and they'll also enjoy a higher standard of care. Not to mention, it takes some of the pressure off of caregivers and family members.
When your care team can share information about your health and progress, they can give you the best treatment and recommendations. PACE has you covered, from head to toe. We also offer services to help you make better decisions about your health, as well help you take advantage of resources in your community
PACE services include:
- Nursing
- Personal care
- Physical/occupational therapy
- Prescription/pharmacy services
- Recreational therapy
- Social services
- Meals & nutritional counseling
- Audiology (hearing)
- Social work
- Dentistry
- Optometry
- Podiatry (feet)
- Medical care
- Speech therapy
- Home health care
- Respite care

With therapy comes the strength and confidence needed for seniors to stay happy and independent.
Physical & Occupational Therapy
Movement isn't supposed to hurt! Activities like walking, playing with your grandchildren, and even getting out of bed and moving throughout your day should make you feel good. If you're experiencing pain or discomfort instead, PACE has two different services to keep you moving forward:
Physical therapy (PT). PT is the practice of restoring proper movement throughout the body. By working on your strength and flexibility, or range of motion, our goal is to make it easy and pain-free to move through your daily life.
Occupational therapy (OT). OT is different from PT: even though both focus on helping you feel better, OT is about helping you develop or improve the skills and confidence you need for daily living and working.
Even if you've never exercised before, you can still do these therapies and see results.

All PACE locations provide you with the medications you need to maintain your health.
If you have complex health conditions, you may be taking a number of medications. It's easy to lose track. And then what happens if you're down to your last pill, but can't find a ride to the pharmacy?
Having your medications available to you at the PACE center makes it easy to stay compliant with your medications. When all of your medications are in one place, a pharmacist can watch for potential drug interactions, which helps keep you safe. Plus, we'll remind you when you're due for a refill.
And now, instead of going to the pharmacy and standing in a long line, you can pick your medications up when you're at your local PACE center.

Some seniors need a little extra help. PACE provides in-home visits so they can stay safe and happy at home.
Home Health Care
To help you stay healthy and comfortable at home, qualified participants receive house visits from PACE caregivers, who can lend you a hand with tasks ranging from cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping to personal hygiene and dressing. Your care team will determine the help you need.
With a friendly PACE professional pitching in on these essential tasks, you and your family or caregiver can enjoy more quality time together.

PACE participants have access to a social worker who can help them find and apply for additional resources.
Social Services
Good health is so much more than how your body feels – it includes feeling like you're connected to family, friends, and your community, and that you have all the essentials you need to thrive. PACE offers comprehensive social services to help participants meet these needs.
Your PACE social worker can help you find and then apply for federal, state, and community programs such as financial assistance, food benefits, in-home services, disability, advocacy, and more.

It's a fact: being happy makes you healthier! PACE offers fun activities and the opportunity to make friends.
There's no U.S. recommended daily allowance for it, but joy is an important part of living an active, healthy life. PACE centers feature a fully-equipped room where participants can enjoy a wide variety of activities – all designed to encourage socialization, keep your brain sharp, and be fun for all ability levels.
Maybe you'll pick up a new skill, such as knitting. Show off your dancing skills. Enjoy some friendly competition: around here, we love Bingo, cards, board games, and even video games on a Wii. PACE participants also get to go on occasional off-site field trips.
PACE activities give you the chance to try new things, and even flex your mental muscles. Attendance is always optional, but highly encouraged.

BOSTON (CBS) – MBTA Transit Police said no threats have been made in Boston, but additional plainclothes officers will be deployed on trains following the latest terrorist attack in London.
An improvised explosive device at the Parson's Green London Underground train station injured 22 people. Police said no one was killed as the device that was used appeared to at least partially fail.
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh spoke out against the "act of hate" on Twitter on Friday.
Transit Police said in a statement the attack "serves a stark reminder transit systems around the world are a target rich environment for those with nefarious intent."
Although we have no actionable intelligence nor have we been made aware of any threat, credible or otherwise, against the MBTA we will increase our uniform presence on the system. Additionally, we will deploy plainclothes officers specially trained to detect behaviors exhibited by individuals who pose a threat to our riding public.
Transit Police will also continue to monitor public safety cameras to spot potential threats.
"We encourage everyone to go about their business but remain aware of their surroundings and contact us should they see anything they deem suspicious," Transit Police said. "Together we can maintain as safe a system as possible."

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (NEWS CENTER) -- The death of Dave Cloutier stirred memories across Patriots Nation in appreciation of his historic stature as the first Mainer to play for the team.
Cloutier's death at his home in Palm Coast, Florida on November 6 was announced on Tuesday in a statement from the Patriots. He was 78 years old.
Born on Nov. 22, 1938, Cloutier grew up in Gardiner.
Cloutier saw his greatest professional success in 1964. After signing with the Boston Patriots as a free agent, he played as a defensive back and punt returner in 12 of 14 games that season. His 20 punt returns for 136 yards led the team.
Realizing his full potential as a professional football player didn't come easily. The Dallas Cowboys selected Cloutier in the 18th round of the 1962 draft. But he rejected their offer and chose instead to join the Buffalo Bills of the AFL as a free agent. The team then released him following an injury.
Cloutier returned to his home state of Maine and spent the 1963 season as a coach at Kennebunk High School. A year later, he would become a Patriot.
In addition to his professional exploits, Cloutier also left a lasting mark during his years as a running back for the University of Maine from 1959 to 1961. His first year was especially memorable. He led the team in scoring and rushing. Cloutier broke out for 159 yards against Bates College to tie a school record at the time for most rushing yards in a single game.
Cloutier's athletic accomplishments were rewarded with induction into the University of Maine Hall of Fame and the Maine Sports Hall of Fame.

Understanding Mass Mail Summary
The Mass Mail Summary, found under Reports in the Sales Center, provides information on each mass mail that is sent. Among the details, you will find the number of opens vs unopens including click-throughs to registrant lists, how many and which links were clicked on, etc. The table below explains what each column in the Mass Mail Summary represents.
There are couple of points to note about how the Send From and Send to Primary Email Only fields impact the Mass Mail Summary and Mass Mail Details.
Send From:
The default setting in the Send From field is Primary Assigned Sales Rep. If that option is selected when sending mass mail, the email to the recipient will appear to come from the Primary Assigned Sales Rep's project email address as set up in Lasso. If, instead, a specific sales rep is selected from the dropdown list, the email to the recipient will appear to come from the selected sales rep's email address as set up in Lasso.
The Sent By column of the Mass Mail Summary displays the user account that the mass mail was sent from. Clicking through to the Mass Mail Details will show the sales rep that was selected in the Send From field when setting up the mass mail.
Send to Primary Email Only:
When you are sending a Mass Mail, you have the option of sending it to only the primary email address of each Registrant or all email addresses that are in the Registrant's profile in Lasso. The default is to send to the primary email only. If you select No as opposed to leaving the default Yes in the Send to Primary Email Only field, the numbers in the Mass Mail Summary may not match the click-through Registrant lists.
For example, when No is selected in the Send to Primary Email Only field, a Registrant that has two email addresses in Lasso will be sent the Mass Mail to both addresses. If that Registrant opens the email in both addresses, the Mass Mail Summary will count two opens but the click-through Registrant list will show only one Registrant for both opens.
*Feedback loop: AOL, Comcast, Gmail, Hotmail / Outlook, and Verizon have complaint feedback loops in place, where they notify Lasso if a registrant have hit Junk or Spam when they receive a mass mail. Upon receipt of a complaint, Lasso updates the registrant's status to Opted-Out. It is displayed on the Mass Mail Summary as a Complaint.
Mass Mail Failure Reasons
The Mass Mail Summary in Lasso's Sales Center provides you with statistics on the number of mass mails that did not get delivered. There are two columns on the report that display this information - Not Sent and Failed.
Clicking on the Subject in the Mass Mail Summary will take you to the Mass Mail Details. The Failure Reason column in the Mass Mail Details provides information on whether the failure was due to a Hard Bounce, Soft Bounce, or Other. Below are explanations of Not Sent and Failed reasons, and suggested actions you can take to fix the issues.

Easy House Electrical Inspection - Damaged Electrical Outlets
The first thing that I would like to point out here,
before you do any electrical inspection in yourself, is to avoid
touching any of the electrical system. This is going to be an issue ball
home inspection and can usually be done in less than an hour, unless
your house is huge.
Like I said, this is going to beat a visual house inspection. Hence the word easy in house electrical inspection. It's not going to be a difficult inspection, it's going to be an easy in house electrical inspection. I hope or on the same page.
You will start your visual inspection of your home electrical system, by going around and inspecting each one of your electrical outlets. Again, you will not be touching any of these electrical outlets, you will be looking for any sort of damage to the electrical plug and switch covers.
If you find any damage, make a list of replacement parts, or contact an electrician, to repair the damage. It doesn't get any simpler than that. This type of electrical inspection can usually be done, in less than an hour.
If you do find any problems, with your visual inspection, you should repair the damage as soon as possible. Don't mess around with your home electrical system, if you don't understand or are familiar with its operation.
This is a simple electrical inspection and should be done on a regular basis, especially if you have young children.
