Question: Dr. aware of alcoholism; still prescribes Valium & Celex
|marybird - Mon Jan 02, 2006 12:06 am
I need some help with a family situation. My mother has a drinking problem which I would categorize as severe, and although I have called her family doctor on several occasions over the past 10 years to give him info on her alcohol abuse, he is still prescribing Valium and Celexa and has not ever spoken to her about her substance abuse. Am I mistaken in thinking that the doctor has a responsibilty to address the patient on any health issues, even if that information did not come from the patient?
When I have called his office, I've never been allowed to speak with him but his nurse has told me that she puts it in my mother's chart and that the doctor is aware of the situation. About a year ago, my mother called me, very drunk and upset, saying she was going to kill herself. Because I live halfway across the country, I had to call my brother and sister to go to her house and they got the police and EMTs there. She was taken to the hospital (the same one where her doctor practices), and because she was very convincing to the psych doctor and social worker that she was not depressed or suicidal, she was sent home. Her doctor never mentioned this incident to her, and I would imagine that he would have been informed of it by the hospital.
I'm in the process of writing a letter to her doctor to ask him to speak with her about her problem, but frankly, I'm disgusted with his lack of response to the information that I've given him and his apparent lack of concern. Am I out of line if I copy the American Medical Association on the letter that I send to him?
If anyone can provide any help with my situation, I will be very grateful. Also, if you have any ideas on how to get her to face her problem, I'd love to hear them. I've talked with her over the years and she always tells me that she's going to quit "soon" but starts up again (if she even stops for a few days) eventually.
Thanks for you help, and happy new year.

Unfortunatly, There isn't much you can do for your mothers alcohol abuse until she WANTS the help.
The first step in recovering from any dependency is recognizing there is a problem, and asking for help. Until you mother can do this, there isnt much you can do. There is something you can do for yourself.
al- anon is a branch of alcoholics anonamous, is is specifically for family and friends of people suffering from alcohol. It is very helpful with supporting family members. Many people don't realize how hard an addiction can be on the whole family.
As for your mothers doctor, unfortunatly, there isn't much you can do with that either, aside from talking your mother into switching doctors. Since she is an adult, and Im assuming of sound mind, unless you have Power of Attorney, all her medical records are confidential, and your doctor is not allowed to discuss her medical issues with you without your mothers consent.
I wish there was more that could be done, and I truly sympathize with your situation. The best thing you can do is be there for her when she is ready to get help.

Thank you, Gracie. I will look into the Al-anon thing in my area. Someone gave me information on it years ago and at the time, I didn't think that I was as affected as I actually am.
Just an update: after I posted my topic here last night, I wrote my mother's doctor a letter and basically asked him to speak with her about her alcohol abuse. I also reminded him (very nicely) that I have contacted his office several times about this and that as far as I know (being a non-medical person), the meds he gives her are really not supposed to be used in conjunction with alcohol. I haven't sent the letter yet; waiting to get feedback from another family member first.
Does anyone know if I would be well-served contacting the AMA or the state's Board of Physicians to complain about this doctor?
Thanks again,

"God is real, but sleeping," is a common operative theology. The world is full of desperate need and problems, and God stays out of it, unaware or uncaring; God created, but is not involved in creation. Don't we often live as if this were the plot?
Such a notion can be a barrier to belief in God. If God exists, why is God so silent? If God is so silent, why bother to believe?
At youth camp this summer, a camper shared her painful experience of trying to talk to God and feeling like she was talking to herself. How can we respond to her?
We blame ourselves for feeling distant from God. "I'm not praying enough, not praying right, not doing enough, expecting too much" — as though God depended on us. We blame Him, thinking He isn't helping us — as though God were too stingy to give what we need, or too impotent to do what we need.
These contradictory responses of ours are not necessarily a bad thing. They're part of the great dialogue between God and humans. Once we're aware of them, they can actually help us learn to "wrestle with God," as my spiritual father used to urge me to do.
The image is biblical. Abraham's grandson Jacob was confronted by the angel of God, who wrestled with him throughout the night. Like Jacob, we may be stubborn and willful, self-oriented and arrogant, with an inner strength and longing which need to be tapped and directed. Like Jacob (who became Israel), we may be wounded in process of becoming who we really are.
Is God silent, uncaring and sleeping? Sometimes it seems so because we're not speaking to Him much. We're going through our lives unawake and unaware, existing only on the surface. Life is so rich and vast that even the surface is huge, so we can stay there a long time.
But our inner restlessness never goes away.
Sometimes we're speaking to Him so constantly we can't hear anything but our own voice. It's not necessarily our fault, but certainly our affliction. Voices are everywhere: the voice of duty driving us, the voice of criticism nagging us into doing or not doing something. There are voices of "information," breaking down the mystery into discrete bits that can help us find a place to stand in the universe, but can also keep us from getting out and exploring it for ourselves.
Sometimes God really is silent, and that scares us. Or rather, God is silence, and that scares us.
In Christ, on the cross, God takes the place of humanity in experiencing the silence of God.
Especially in this age of anxiety, we can be like Gollum, afraid to look up and see the light, but longing for it all the same. We can't escape the universe by going inside ourselves because we hold it in us, too. Inside us is so much noise that it's hard to get through it to the silence — like the ring of debris perpetually surrounding Saturn.
What can we do?
We need to spend time in silence.
It's not easy, even when we try. We sit down to pray, but only hear the voices in our heads, or think about our problems, or fall asleep. It seems useless, frustrating or just plain failure. All the spiritual guides down through history tell us to keep going back and back. Spend time in silence. It's a real place. We can find it, or let it find us. God's Word springs forth from the silence, St. Ignatius of Antioch wrote.
At summer camp, one morning I sat before dawn watching the mist over the river. Slowly but quickly, golden light emerged through the grey mist and every droplet, every leaf became visible. In the beauty, form and shape and meaning emerged. This happens every morning, though I don't see it.
One night, the counsellors invited the campers to get up and see the stars. The stars are always there, but most kids hadn't seen them before, except the one or two stars that manage to penetrate urban night-light. Some campers got up, while others slept. Those who did wake up saw the Milky Way flung across the night sky, and saw their place in the universe in a new way.
These things are waiting for us when we are finally ready to get up early enough, or late enough, to enter the silence. The forest is like that. The night sky is like that. The Scriptures are like that, as Origen told us centuries ago: the more you spend time with them, the more they reveal. God is like that.

I did the first visit here probably two years ago, with the understanding that I would be doing a solo show using the whole space. When I got here I realised how the Kelly is such an iconic piece in the building. I had only seen it in pictures but when you get to the space you realise, 'Oh, the Kelly is here. Every show has to respond to it.'
So I said to Cara [Starke, Director of the Pulitzer], 'There's a whole show you could do around those two colours, black and blue,' and started naming artists. But I assumed that somebody had done that already. After all, the building's had ten years of programming. But Cara said, 'No, nobody's done that,' and I thought to myself, 'Well, maybe that's more interesting for me.'
I don't know. It's probably not for me to answer. I know it didn't really change any curatorial decisions. But one thing that Trump's presidency made me much more aware of was the importance of the first gallery where there's Kerry James Marshall, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Carrie Mae Weems, and Jack Whitten. I always knew it would be interesting to have a kind of visual conversation between the works in that gallery. When you walk in that's the beginning of the show, and you have all these works that are looking at each other and looking at you. That conversation gets read very differently in Trump's presidency than it might be if Hillary [Clinton] was president or Barack [Obama] was still president. You can think of that in terms of a certain kind of politics: the first conversation in the show contrasted with the lack of conversations that we seem to have in this country nowadays. So yes, Trump's presidency has amplified certain things in the show.
No. I don't know what the procedures are but I'm sure the minute Trump became president they started putting the bubble wrap over it. But that piece was in the personal quarters anyway, so it was always going to go no matter who became president.
Except those debates predated him. So maybe he's come to symbolise something within those debates.
Right. What comes after post-black seems to be white supremacy. That term was a way of describing how I thought about an artist like Mark Bradford at the beginning of his career. He was doing abstract paintings, and he is clearly interested in the history of abstraction, but the materials he was using were hair-curling papers from his mom's black beauty salon. So the material has a specificity and it's used in a way that puts a kind of content into abstraction in an interesting way. For me, it was a jokey way to describe that to Thelma Golden. But as people have taken it up seriously it has become a useful way to think about how artists of colour have infused abstraction with this specificity. That's what I guess I'm most interested in.
In some ways, yeah.
There's a story about somebody asking Miles Davis how he composes something, and he says, 'I start with what I know and go to what I don't know,' and I think artists often do that. Why is Ellsworth Kelly still using black and blue in 2000? He used the same colours right there in that painting from 1959. It's because it's always going to be surprising; there is always something new to be found in it. If you know what it is beforehand, then why bother doing it?
I think what's interesting about the Kelly is that he's a master of distilling things. The discussion around his paintings is formalist but they're very emotional in some ways. The painting here is so perfectly situated and it's so monumental that I walked in and I was like 'Wow!' I've seen big artworks before that I've just thought 'Mmm. Big ...' You know? But I think of Kelly as an emotional artist and I know other curators I've talked to who have agreed that that's their experience of the work too. I'm curious about that.
Yes. Liz is white-white-white but I never really thought about that until she was hanging on that wall. That's so interesting, because nobody really talks about Liz's whiteness in discussions of Warhol. But put it on a wall that has all these different kinds of representations on it and it becomes so glaring. It's so much a part of what Warhol was interested in. But I didn't want it to be just a white woman surrounded by black figures. That's not what it's about. It's really about portraiture and different ways of looking. I want there to be moments of surprise and I want certain kinds of conversations to happen.
It's interesting to think about one's taste as well. I realise, for instance, that I don't really get sculpture, so that's why there's so little of it in this show. That's my failing. There are also certain artists that I don't know if I've totally gotten their work conceptually. So doing a show like this is an opportunity to think more about their work. I use it in a sneaky way of my own: I need to think about it some more so put in in the show.
Well, in the end there is no difference. In some ways I'm very conservative because I separate these things out and make hierarchies out of them. I probably do that because writing is as hard as making art for me, and there's only so much time so I feel like I have to choose. But if I think about my process, being in the studio making work, writing, or curating the show, they all take equal amounts of energy and time so they are kind of equivalent. —[O]

Irene asked 5 years ago:
If i mention a title of an article or report in my essay, do i need to put the year it was published after it in brackets and put the title in italics?

Hi Irene,
For an article you could reference as normal with tha article title in single quotes
e.g In the article 'name of article' it is argued that.... (Smith 2009)
If it is a report, you would have the report name in italics
e.g. According to the Report on Public Safety (2009) etc etc
Hope that helps

Monsoon not only pumps in all the life into plants and trees but also fills up the dried-up water bodies. It is the season to enjoy rivers, lakes, ponds and waterfalls. You will see brimmed rivers gushing through the lands and touching them with life. In this season of rains, it is a must to pay tribute to our rivers that are one of the major sources of lives. Here we are beginning with some famous places in Karnataka thriving on the Kaveri river basin!

Amidst the beauty of Brahmagiri Hill, the ever flowing Kaveri or Cauvery originates in Talakaveri at Coorg. It is such a wonder to see how a big river originates from a small spring in this place. It is said that the course of the river from Talakaveri can only be seen during the monsoons. Talakaveri near Bhagamandala is the sacred place for the Kodavas and is also one of the popular tourist places in Karnataka.

Kaveri Nisargadhama
A lush green garden on the banks of Kaveri near Kushalnagar never fails to amaze the tourists. Kaveri Nisargadhama is the pristine nisarga (nature) that gets beautified by the river. One heavy rain at Talakaveri will fill up the river in Nisargadhama. A stay at the wooden cottages in Nisargadhama overlooking the river is worth it.

The historical Srirangapatna is an island in the Kaveri river. Seeking the blessings from Lord Ranganathaswamy, a tour around the town will be an eventful one. Srirangapatna is one of the famous places to visit in Karnataka on the Kaveri Basin. This rainy season, head to this enchanting town to witness the river and the heritage!

It is the waterfalls season and how can we miss out on the one created by river Kaveri? Yes, Shivanasamudra Falls is one of the must-visit destinations in Mandya. That too a monsoon trip is a must to witness the magic of rains.

Mekedatu is the place where Kaveri meets Arkavathi river. The Sangama gets the name as Mekedatu because of one incident where a goat leapt to rock on the other side of the river. That's why the name Mekedatu meaning 'Goat's Leap'. Mekedatu is one of the popular weekend getaways from Bengaluru.
Except Talakaveri, all the other places are closer to Bengaluru. So, you know what to do on a monsoon weekend? That's right, explore Kaveri Basin!

DENVER (CBS4) – About 14 thousand runners will participate in the Transamerica Rock 'n' Roll Denver Half Marathon. Two runners will start at the back of the pack, and raise money for the fight against heart disease with every person they pass.
Dichele Jackson and Alex Behm has been training for the half marathon for months.
"The most I've ever done is a 5K, I believe," Jackson told CBS4.
"I actually ran last year," Behm said.
Not only are the two going for 13.1 miles, but they're running as Transamerica Go-Givers.
"I will be starting at the very end of the race and for every person I pass through the race, towards the end, Transamerica will donate $1.00 to the American Heart Association," Jackson explained.
"It's definitely going to be a lot of dodging people especially at the beginning," Behm told CBS4.
Behm ran as a Go-Giver last year.
"I hit my goal at 2-hours last year, so I'm looking to improve upon that, just to make sure that training is paying off," Behm explained.
Jackson has a very personal reason for running.
"Within the last years, I've lost two of my uncles to heart attacks, at 49 and the age of 52," she said.
She hopes to raise more than $2,000. The Go-Givers program fits into Transamerica's mission to promote healthy, wealthy lifestyles, a philosophy both these runners take to heart.
"I like having kind of a health goal set, or a goal for myself set so that I keep training and stay on my game," Behm said.
"I just really want to lead a long life for my daughter, and want to kind of inspire my family, especially my dad, those were his brothers, to stay strong and have a strong heart," Jackson said.
When you see these Go-Giver t-shirts out on the course, know that they're passing you for a good cause.

Construction of YSP new £3.8 million visitor centre has begun
01 May 2017
The building – designed by architects Feilden Fowles and constructed by Yorkshire-based construction company William Birch – will build capacity at the award-winning visitor attraction which attracts around 500,000 people every year and celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2017.
Scheduled for completion at the end of March 2018 and opening in the summer, the new centre will enhance the visitor experience at the southern entrance to the Park, less than one mile away from M1 Junction 38, and contribute to YSP's long-term financial sustainability.
The environmentally friendly building has been designed to make minimum impact on the site and, in common with previous YSP developments, to fit sympathetically with the historic landscape. It will comprise a 140m2 restaurant, 125m2 gallery space, an 80m2 public foyer and a 50m2 shop.
A world-class gallery space will give visitors access to some of the greatest art of the 20th and 21st centuries through a changing programme of temporary exhibitions. The centre will also increase physical, intellectual and emotional access to the landscape, ecology and heritage of the historic 500-acre Bretton Estate, as well as the sculpture presented elsewhere in the Park.
The new restaurant will continue to offer visitors high quality service while a new shop will extend YSP's successful retail operation, providing opportunities for both artists and designers. The building will be well insulated and naturally ventilated, featuring an air-source heat pump for heating and a dense green roof. It will incorporate a pioneering low energy environmental control system using a passive humidity buffer to maintain favourable conditions in the gallery.
The new visitor centre is an important addition to the Park's physical infrastructure, which began with the opening of Longside Gallery in 2001; the main visitor centre in 2002; the Underground Gallery in 2005; the transformation of the estate Kennel Block into a learning centre and café in 2011; the restoration of the Chapel in 2014; and most recently the refurbishment of the Bothy Gallery in 2016.
The project is supported by Arts Council England, Wakefield Council, The Garfield Weston Foundation, The Foyle Foundation and other funders who wish to remain anonymous.
Guy Laurie, Director of Operations at YSP said:
"We're excited to start construction in our 40th anniversary year on a building which will be an important part of our future. The new visitor centre is a reflection of our ambition to increase long-term resilience and sustainability by building audiences, further developing our artistic programme, and increasing visitor income."
Fergus Feilden, Director, Feilden Fowles said:
"We are thrilled the project is starting on site with William Birch Construction. The design remains on budget and retains the crafted and bespoke elements which make it unique. Construction will take a year and the visitor centre will open by summer 2018, sitting alongside eminent previous projects at the Sculpture Park."
Gemma Shahjahan, Business Development Director of William Birch said:
"Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a huge asset to the arts and leisure scene in the Yorkshire region and our project team are looking forward to being a key part of delivering the next phase of its exciting development. We have built an enviable portfolio of award-winning, sustainable and striking visitor facilities in Yorkshire and we are delighted to add this highly prestigious project to that repertoire".

As human beings, we go through life with a desire – a yearning even – for something tangible, something solid upon which to anchor our positions, and worldviews are born from this search…
In fact, the quest for tangibility fueled the Enlightenment of centuries past, whereby many endeavored to cast superstition out of the way in order to perfect our understanding of reality. That quest ultimately led whole populations to repudiate the Biblical truths they had – for generations – embraced. It continues even now. Our modern world, more so than any other period, has conditioned many of us to such an extent that the old mantra of "seeing is believing" has become a condition of acceptance.
In spite of the voices that decry faith and do their best to dismantle our Scriptures, modern research and personal revelation can in fact vindicate huge swaths of the Biblical account, so much so that the entire Holy Book, to eyes unburdened with bias and contempt, becomes undeniably transcendental. Thus, in spite of this, in spite of our ability to rationally and objectively demonstrate the veracity of the Bible, a critical question remains: Should we prove that most holy of books?
The point I want to have you consider is this: if the Bible can be resolutely demonstrated and our beliefs firmly justified in the light of not only what we have seen and felt but also what has been made clear through science and history, what then is left of faith? Is our faith not critical to our walk with God? Does knowing the evidence of our Lord and Creator diminish one's faith or could it instead bolster it?
Another consideration comes from the acknowledgement that confirmation of various Biblical accounts will invariably insite division amongst sects of believers, erupting ideological rifts as interpretations fall under scrutiny, or otherwise new interpretations threaten to unhinge longstanding expectations.
How, for instance, do relations between Biblical fundamentalists and more liberal believers change when each claims possession of evidence that supports their interpretation of Genesis and beyond? Further, for non-believers, how does this internal dispute do anything but strengthen their fiery doubt. Is it worth it? Is proving – from a technical perspective – the Bible worth the conflict that it will foster?
For my part, I will tell you this much: the fact that our faith has a demonstrably solid foundation that is tangible and utterly justifiable in the light of history and technological insight is a fact that cannot be ignored, nor should be abandoned. The truth remains the truth regardless of whatever feelings may be incited, in spite of whatever pet interpretations may be bruised or buried.
Despite whatever internal battles are stoked, no matter the appearance to outsiders, there is an undeniable viability to the pursuit of truth, further the resolute demonstration of it. God, as the sole author of this reality, would not have left a breadcrumb trail of evidence for His existence and intervention had He not intended someone to follow it! Of this I am convinced! Even so, there is the pitfall hidden amidst this most honest of endeavors: seekers of the truth must beware of preaching more about the integrity of the Biblical account than the Creator and Author of it!
You see, in my own case, were it not for God using the evidence of the Biblical account to open my eyes, I wonder where I would be now. If not for the reality of the Bible being demonstrated to me, I'd have likely never known that which is abundantly more convincing to the soul: my personal experience with faith and my walk with Christ. Whatever I have learned of the tangible aspects of the faith – be they scientific, statistical, historical, and beyond – all utterly fail when compared to the faith born in me through my personal relationship with my Savior. That truth is as far exceeding in brightness when held against my objective studies of reality as is a waning flashlight against a thousand young suns.
Can the Bible be proven. I absolutely believe so. Should it be? That is a matter you must decide for yourself. As for me, in light of where I have been and where I yet hope to go, I am pushing on so that others may also come to know the truth and appreciate it, even if it means they must first anchor it to objective evidence. Every journey begins with a single step, and mine began in Genesis…

The sixties was a revolutionary time in modern culture. 1950s Britain was still living in the shadow of World War II but that was all about to change as a new decade was ushered in.
The 1960s saw a shift in popular culture, the influence of American music saw the emergence of huge British stars such as the Beatles, The Rolling Stones and singers like Dusty Springfield. This new, exciting music impacted fashion and hand in hand with that, hair.
The emergence of fashion designers such as Mary Quant and Biba with their graphic geometric designs paved the way for a hair revolution with short pixie crops and sharp bobs the style of favour in swinging London.
The Bob:
This iconic style really came into its own in the 1960s, synonymous with mini dresses and go-go dancing, the bob of the 60s had sharp edges and angles.
Pixie Crop:
You can't really say the 1960s and Pixie Crop without the image of Twiggy popping into your head. The androgynous gamine look was also favoured by stars such as Mia Farrow and Jean Seburg.

The Beehive:
Created for Modern Beauty Salon magazine in 1960 by Chicago stylist Margaret Vinci Heldt. It was said that Heldt based the design on the Fez hat she wore. The style was worn by icons such as Dusty Springfield, The Ronettes and even Dolly Parton.

When it comes to measuring an institution's financial stability, capital is essential. It acts as a cushion against losses and affords protection for members when a credit union is struggling financially. From a safety and soundness perspective, the more capital, the better.
On our test to measure capital adequacy, DIVERSIFIED MEMBERS scored 30 out of a possible 30 points, exceeding the national average of 15.65.
DIVERSIFIED MEMBERS appears to be more resilient than its peers, with a capitalization ratio of 30.00 percent in our test, better than the average for all credit unions.
In this test, Bankrate tries to estimate the impact of troubled assets, such as unpaid mortgages, on the credit union's capitalization and allocated loan loss reserves.
A credit union with lots of these types of assets may eventually have to use capital to absorb losses, shrinking its cushion of equity. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and no longer earning interest for the credit union, resulting in diminished earnings and potentially more risk of a failure in the future.
DIVERSIFIED MEMBERS scored 40 out of a possible 40 points on Bankrate's test of asset quality, above the national average of 38.09.
The credit union's ratio of problem assets was 0.00 percent in our test, below the national average and potentially indicative of superior financial strength compared to other credit unions.
How successful a credit union is at making money affects its safety and soundness. Earnings may be retained by the credit union, increasing its capital buffer, or be used to address problematic loans, likely making the credit union better able to withstand economic trouble. Credit unions that are losing money, however, have less ability to do those things.
DIVERSIFIED MEMBERS did below-average on Bankrate's test of earnings, achieving a score of 6 out of a possible 30.
The credit union had an earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, higher than the average for all credit unions, an indication that it's outperforming its peers in this area.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

Security information and event management (SIEM) and log management software in general are essential for most modern businesses with an IT department and that need to maintain a constant online presence with optimal security.
Your online marketing efforts, websites, and internal networks will disappoint if you don't monitor them with log management and protect them with SIEM systems so they won't experience frequent nor extended downtime.
Thus, it makes sense to not only invest in a SIEM / log management tool but to take the time to investigate what might be the best log analysis tools on today's market. First, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of what log management tools do and why they are so vital for both efficiency and security.
Why Is Log Data So Critical?
Virtually every IT device (and even "virtual devices") now generate log data of some sort, and this information is vital for IT security and monitoring. It gives you a big picture of "network health" and also valuable insights into trends, problems, weaknesses, and potential improvements that could be made.
However, "raw log data" spread out among various different devices and software vendors, differing formatting, is cumbersome to collect and analyze in a timely manner. Events and threats can happen quickly, and therefore, a centralized log management tool helps to make all log data "visible" at the critical point in time.
Automation Is Key
As a business owner, you don't have time to fetch log data from numerous locations nor do you want to tie up IT staff on such a project and pay way more than you should have to for less than acceptably productive IT services. SIEM / log management tools are the answer.[
They can automate the process, which saves you time and money. They can identify hack jobs and attempted ones. These tools also track user activity, enable automated compliance reporting, and let you know when devices aren't properly configured.
Then, after your event log management tool has automatically collected and helpfully arranged the relevant data, you simply browse through it. There are even features of such tools that will browse for you, in the sense that they select out irregularities in the log reports.
Real Time Analysis
After the fact analysis of what caused a disruptive IT event is only part of the package you get with log management software. The best software, at least, also provides for monitoring and analyzing data logs in real time.
A real time log stream, with helpful charts and graphs, puts the current situation in front of you in a highly visible way. That puts you in the driver seat, ready to respond at a moment's notice when things are only beginning to show signs of trouble – which means you can often prevent a major problem from occurring.
Log Data Storage
Another key feature of log managing tools is their ability to store log data for future reference. Some tools, for example, store it automatically to SQL databases for 7 days. But, you can also customize your data storage preferences, and if necessary, add more storage space.
When a problem event occurs, you may sometimes need to investigate the log data history to help detect any trends or clues you may have missed when it was in real time. In this way, the storage capability complements the real-time features.
Of course, there are many other important aspects of SIEM and log management tools to be aware of, but the above are some of the most critical. The main points should be clear: log management software equips IT workers with information and tools that they couldn't function nearly as efficiently without.

Weekend Wind Down 11/03/2012 – Epic Post Next Week
I hope everyone had a great time on Halloween! Ours went pretty well. The kids scaled the neighborhood in about 30 minutes, which was perfect for Mrs MMD since she was freezing her tail off walking them around. The haunted garage was another hit, and I took down a lot of great ideas for next year. My only complaint was that I wish we had had more visitors. Things in our area were a little caught off guard by the cold and rain, but I'm not going to complain since just about anything is better than the mess they had to deal with on the East coast. I will have an epic post next week that will … [Read more...] about Weekend Wind Down 11/03/2012 – Epic Post Next Week
SCARY Retirement Statistics – Don't Let Lack of Planning Haunt You!
Happy Halloween everyone! Since most people will be out celebrating Trick or Treating tonight, I thought we'd do a very brief post of something truly alarming!

Weekend Wind Down 10/27/2012 – Welcome to the MMD Haunted House!
I can't wait until Halloween! Last year I raised the bar pretty high. I got the bright idea to go from simply passing out candy to turning my garage into a miniature haunted house. Pretty cool, right? That's the blueprint on the left. Basically I hang up large black vinyl drop cloths to create a short dark maze, add a lot of flashing lights (purple circles) and smoke from a fog machine, play some scary music in the background, and then add in as many props as I can. Oh yeah, and my Dad occasionally jumps out at you from around the corner (skulls).

I'm always on the lookout for new ones that are well written, brilliantly performed, and … well … scary!

Defect modes are studied in parity-time (PT) symmetric periodic complex potentials for both positive and negative defects. Such new kinds of linear localized modes may conserve their energy or endure gain or loss upon propagating. The existence domain of the conserved modes would be prolonged by positive defects or shortened by negative defects, and the dissipative modes would appear before the phase transition point of the PT symmetric potential at stronger negative defects.

Gonzaga wins without Bouldin
Sat., Dec. 12, 2009
Freshman Elias Harris scored a season-high 27 points and No. 21 Gonzaga overcame the absence of leading scorer Matt Bouldin to beat Davidson 103-91 on Saturday night at the KeyArena in the Battle of Seattle.
Robert Sacre dominated the smaller Wildcats inside with a career-best 23 points and the Bulldogs (8-2) won for the first time in four tries in their annual game across the state in Seattle.
Bouldin sat out three days after he was cracked just below the temple by an opponent's forehead and said he was knocked out briefly early in a win over Division III Augustana of Illinois on Wednesday.
Freshman Jake Cohen scored 16 points and Brendan McKillop had 15 on five 3-pointers for Davidson (2-7), which was 85-20 in three seasons with sharpshooter Stephen Curry before he left a year early for the NBA last summer.

Pale amber sunlight falls across
The reddening October trees,
That hardly sway before a breeze
As soft as summer: summer's loss
Seems little, dear! on days like these.
Let misty autumn be our part!
The twilight of the year is sweet:
Where shadow and the darkness meet
Our love, a twilight of the heart
Eludes a little time's deceit.
Are we not better and at home
In dreamful Autumn, we who deem
No harvest joy is worth a dream?
A little while and night shall come,
A little while, then, let us dream.
Beyond the pearled horizons lie
Winter and night: awaiting these
We garner this poor hour of ease,
Until love turn from us and die
Beneath the drear November trees.

GPs 'should prescribe statins to younger patients' using 30-year risk score
GPs should prescribe statins for primary prevention to 'younger, lower-risk' patients, according to a new study.
Researchers compared the use of different risk prediction algorithms and found that using 30-year absolute risk reduction was the 'more optimal approach for determining statin eligibility', as it identified 'many additional low-risk individuals' with high long-term expected benefits of taking statins.
But GPs warned that changing from the current 10-year risk calculator would increase their workload, as they would have to carry out the 'bulk of prescribing and monitoring' and called for more evidence that such a change would be cost-effective.
Researchers looked at a total of 1,688 patients, representing 56.6m US individuals, who were aged between 40 to 60 years old, from November 2017 to August 2018.
They selected patients who did not have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or LDL-C levels greater than 190 mg/dL, and who were not taking statins.
The research team calculated 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease and 10-year and 30-year absolute risk reduction of cardiovascular disease for each individual, and found that the absolute risk reduction approaches were better able to avoid treatment of individuals with low expected benefit.
They noted that patients who met statin eligibility based on the 30-year absolute risk reduction threshold for treatment were younger (mean age 50 years) and more likely to be women than those recommended with a 10-year absolute risk reduction threshold.
The study, published in JAMA Cardiology, said: 'A long-term benefit approach identifies younger, lower-risk individuals with high LDL-C levels for statin treatment and thus provides a more optimal approach for determining statin eligibility in primary prevention.'
'We demonstrate that using a 30-year benefit-based approach identifies many additional low-risk individuals with a high calculated benefit of long-term statin therapy, without extending treatment to individuals at low benefit,' it added.
But London-based GP Professor Azeem Majeed, head of primary care and public health at Imperial College London, warned that such a change would have a knock-on effect in general practice.
He explained: 'The way the current QRISK formula is used means that people who will be at high risk when they are older will not be placed on statins early in their life. Hence, there is some debate about switching to a lifetime risk rather than a 10-year risk of CVD.
'The limitation of changing current UK policy would be that many more people would become eligible for statins, thereby increasing NHS workload - particularly for general practices as they would be responsible for the bulk of prescribing and monitoring. Also, we would need more evidence that this would be a cost-effective use of NHS resources.'
NICE recently agreed to review recommendations for statins prescribing in over 75s for primary prevention, following new research which found that they did not effectively reduce the risk of heart attacks or stroke in older patients, unless they had diabetes and were also under 84 years old.
Another major study found 'no evidence' that lowering hypertension thresholds to treat low-risk patients with mild hypertension has any benefit.
Readers' comments (21)
Or.... we could have a massive public health nationwide initiative to change eating habits to push a Mediterranean type diet, subsidise gyms and public exercise spaces, push for safe uptake of cycling etc. and continue to punitively tax unhealthy foods - all of which have far greater outcomes data than yet more medication in the form of statins for multiple health outcomes
I would caution changing practice on the basis of this study. Far better to implement current risk and intervention recommendations from NICE than change. We already fail to estimate risk on 2/3 eligible people, and fail to prescribe in 2/3 of those at 10% 10 year risk.
Obviously statins mandatory for secondary prevention unless good reason.
In 2000 the Journal of the American Medical Association published a study that showed a significantly greater CVD and CHD mortality risk and shorter life expectancy in young men with cholesterol levels of 6.21mmol/l or above compared with those whose cholesterol was 5.17 or less.
Three large cohorts of men aged 18 to 39 were screened between 1959 and 1975. Those with a cholesterol of 6.21 or above had CHD mortality 2.15-3.63 times higher, CVD mortality 2.10-2.87 times higher and a life expectancy 3.8-8.7 years shorter.
Seems sensible that young people with significantly raised cholesterols should at least be advised and offered treatment at a younger age rather than waiting until later when vascular damage has already developed.
I think society needs a grown up discussion about what medicine is trying to achieve. We all look after patients in the 80-90s who sit multimorbid & dementing in a chair in a residential home but good forbid if they should die of coronary artery disease or any other non-cancerous natural cause as that's a failure???

Addressing Rural Poverty
"Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom" – Nelson Mandela
The Challenge: Endemic Rural Poverty
Some 15 million rural South Africans remain trapped in poverty, due to the social engineering of apartheid and the priority given to urban industries in the previous government's economic policies. Reversing the damage of apartheid's economic and educational policies and bridging the gap between rural and urban communities is a daunting challenge. Rural communities endure underdeveloped local infrastructure and an inability to communicate effectively through modern means, due to their physical location. Limited fixed line telephone access, no access to the internet and inadequate cell phone signal coverage, make sustainable economic development a huge challenge.
A Solution: The P.E.A.C.E Model
Established 26 years ago, the P.E.A.C.E Foundation has, over the years, developed a model which has proven its efficacy in a number of communities – creating cooperative jobs, improving education and providing essential, centralized services, to support cooperatives. The P.E.A.C.E. Model has been evaluated by Ashoka as being designed to coordinate and facilitate strategies for the alleviation of poverty in rural communities through the promotion and support of LED. At the heart of the model is the provision of centralized community access to information that supports and promotes LED initiatives, with a focus on the cooperative approach and improved educational standards. The model which is original, sustainable and replicable has an holistic approach to development, which accommodates and services the five central components of the P.E.A.C.E. acronym. Most recently, the P.E.A.C.E. Foundation became part of Elephants, Rhinos and People (ERP), an initiative of group elephant.com which is a for profit global company, characterised by a primary strategic imperative in terms of how they go "Beyond Corporate Purpose" in their day-to-day activities.

It can be tough to master, so you'll want to find software that is intuitive. Check out this introductory tutorial on using layers with PhotoDirector on PC and Mac.
- Split Toning & Color Splash
You're going to want to know about this one if you're looking to make your pics pop. Split toning is a tried and true technique harkening back to the earliest days of photography. It allows color adjustments to be made to the shadows and highlights of your image, turning a flat, lifeless photo into a richly-hued work of art ready to make the rounds on Insta. With Color Splash you can highlight individual colors in your photos while making the rest of the frame black and white. Getting familiar with these techniques is a real must, and really not as complicated as you might think!
- Touch-up Tools
One tried and true Instagram editing tip is that every portrait can't be picture-perfect every time. But even if your good side isn't quite good enough, you don't have to toss your snaps into the recycling bin. Most editing programs have specialized tools designed to enhance figures and faces, make cosmetic tweaks like wrinkle removal or skin smoothening, and generally help you to capture your best self(ie).
- Correcting Lens Distortion
All sorts of things can go wrong when you're taking that shot. If parts of your photos are bulged out or scrunched up, you've got a bad case of lens distortion. Many factors can contribute to lens distortion, but eliminating it is usually pretty simple, especially with automatic functionality, a great option if you don't happen to know much about 'chromatic aberration' or 'vignetting.' Learn more about this essential feature here.
- Watermarks
Are you sure everyone knows your pics are yours? Adding a watermark can be as simple as clicking a button, and you can even get help designing and creating watermarks depending on your needs: sleek and inconspicuous when you want it to blend in, bold and bright when you want it to pop. Make sure that credit for your photos stays with you.
- Keep Updated
Whatever Instagram editing software you use, you'll want to keep up with changes in technology and discover new editing tips, tools, and techniques. Software with a subscription option is certainly worth it: you'll get product updates and new features, plus comprehensive technical support.
- Unlocking AI
We've saved the best for last: in recent years editing software has been transformed by the creative power of AI. Photos can be precisely and intelligently scanned to add stylistic flourishes and produce effects that will turn them into truly unique creations perfect for posting. It's easy and amazing, so don't forget to look for photo editing software with AI capabilities.
Start with Capable Software
Now that you're ready to put these tips into action grab a free 30-day trial to CyberLink's PhotoDirector with all premium features enabled. Or for something more flexible, download PhotoDirector on your Android smartphone. Both are great ways to get started and help you post perfect pics!

How to Slow Down the Ageing of Your Skin.
The loss of our youthful appearance is the result of several different changes that are occurring within the body and the skin.
A loss of that youthful appearance will be much more rapid for some people and often goes hand in hand with lifestyle choices.
But the good news is, most of these changes can be slowed by diet and lifestyle habits.
What Happens When The Skin Ages?
Ageing of the skin occurs as a result of numerous factors. Changes to the skin include:
- a thickening of the stratum corneum (the outer most layer of the skin);
- loss of dermal (inner layer) thickness;
- dehydration;
- the disorganization and loss of shape of skin cells;
- collagen and elastin fibers become damaged and weak;
- uneven distribution of melalin results in age spots.
This compares to healthy skin where:
- the stratum corneum is thin;
- the skin is hydrated;
- there are lots of new, plump skin cells;
- melalin is distributed evenly;
- the supporting skin structure is strong and resilient.
The loss of skin thickness goes hand in hand with the the shortening of our telomeres.
Telemores are the ends of chromosomes and telomere shortening is an indicator of ageing. There are some interesting factors that affect our telomere length and therefore the aging of our skin.
Sun Exposure – is it harmful or helpful?
Whether sun exposure is helpful or harmful to our health is an ongoing debate between the slip/slop/slap sunscreen sector and the need for healthy vitamin D conversion enthusiasts.
This is an argument which will go on for some time, as there are many economic factors associated with keeping us covered in sun screen.
Does UV radiation induce skin breakdown? Yes it does. Does excess sun exposure deplete antioxidants? Yes it does. Is sun exposure good for our Vitamin D production and therefore beneficial to our skin and health? Yes it is.
We will delve into this issue a little bit deeper in another Skin Tip. But in the meantime, remember that some sun exposure is important, but you should avoid a lengthy time in the sun and protect delicate areas such as the face.
And to combat any damage done via free radical damage it is really important to use skin care products with antioxidants such as Kakadu Plum which has powerful levels of vitamin C or Mountain Pepper Leaf extract which has astounding antioxidant properties.
What Can I Do Today To Curb Premature Skin Ageing?
Avoid the use of cortisol – topical or oral. There are multiple natural anti-inflammatories available and one of the best is curcumin from turmeric.
Ensure you are getting adequate antioxidants. Eating a fresh food diet will substantially help with this. Green tea and brewed coffee are a great source of antioxidants also. Kambucha tea is another good source of antioxidants that you can brew at home. There are also some fabulous supplements available such as NRF2 activators and Resveratrol that are known to boost antioxidants and slow free radical damage substantially.
Control inflammation (the fire within) wherever it is occurring in the body. Remember the more overweight you are the more inflamed your body will be. I recommend turmeric as a good anti-inflammatory. It is excellent for all acute and chronic injuries or inflammatory health problems.
Use natural skin care products with active ingredients that moisturize, provide good antioxidants and promote the production of collagen and elastin.
Retain Your Youthful Looking Skin or Reverse The Appearance of Ageing Skin with Native Natural Skin Care Products
Native Natural Skin Care has numerous products that can work from the outside to improve the appearance of your skin. Check out these fabulous products that have been formulated to improve the appearance of ageing skin.

Author advocates innovative approach to management development
Worried by the high mortality rate of start-ups in the country, an author, Lucky Ehizioje, has advocated innovative approach to management development.
In his book titled: Who Viewed His Coin Right?, Ehizioje said sticking to traditional ways of doing things remains a bane of good management and one of 27 mental blindness that hinder successful business.
In the book, Ehizioje argued that many start-up firms have folded up as a result of tradition, stressing that others merely struggle to keep up simply because they are unable to break with such archaic ways of doing things.
This, he said continued to prevail because many organisations have closed their eyes to discovering new opportunities and innovative ways of doing things.
Ehizioje therefore listed 27 mental blindness issues that must be avoided and 15 eye-openers that must be embraced on how best to manage execution gaps in an organization.
He said: "The issue of execution gap has been discovered to be a major issue causing failure and inability to achieve organizational goal. So, the best way to manage execution gap is by promoting learning and growth in an organization."
Ehizioje stated that humility is one of the mental openings that must be embraced, noting, "humility makes you insensitive to distractions that will ordinarily not let you achieve your goals.
Whoever is marked with humility is a humble man. Meanwhile, a humble man is a man who cannot be turned off in spite of tons of aspersions cast in his integrity; it takes humility to learn crucial things. "The style of every manager or leader in an organisation tells whether the organisation will be productive or decline.
Everybody in life is with two tendencies, a tendency to lead and a tendency to follow: when the tendency to follow is well exercised, it naturally triggers the tendency to lead and when the time to lead comes one will be able to perform excellently. The link between following and leading is learning.
At each level, there is learning peculiar to it and the link to it is learning. So, the level you stop learning, you stop growing and begins to decay. "No one starts a journey of life in level one that is why I wrote in the book that a journey or a step to leadership starts with level zero, inexperience or unskilled training, whereby there is acquisition of knowledge or skill by individual and the stage of lacking in capacity is under level zero".
The author lays strong emphasis on leadership style, adding, "Life is full of many unconscious leaders and it will be disastrous for anybody to make himself or herself unconscious.
In fact, education pipeline is structured into any organization such that the flow of knowledge should come from infinite sources unto the coach or manager that will set the direction of what must be done, how it must be done, and pass it to his subordinates in the organisation for flawless execution of goals.
And definitely, the style of the leader will tell in the life of his follower. "When people are inspired to work and as well motivated then the job execution gap will be relatively filled up. The word, COIN is a metaphor that means goal; what you aspire to be or achieve in life".

The kitchen is one of the most important places in a house. The kitchen is the place where you begin your day with you prepare meals and sometimes even eat in the kitchen. People will judge you if the kitchen is messy. Wouldn't you like to hear people praising the way you keep your house clean? Especially, keeping the kitchen clean and attractive will reflect your personality. This is one reason why most homeowners would do everything to make the kitchen look more than presentable and one of the most beautiful areas of the house. Maintaining the kitchen with good care is not an easy task. Here are some ideal steps you might want to follow to make your kitchen look more friendly and welcoming.
Decorating Styles.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, painting the walls and decorating could add more colour to the kitchen. Decide a specific style before painting the walls. Styles such as traditional, cottage, contemporary, eclectic, craftsman and Mediterranean are the most common kitchen decorating styles. You can search on the net for each of these mentioned styles and choose what you like the most. However, if you are still finding it difficult to choose you can hire a design professional. When choosing the colours to ensure that you select the colours according to the style that you have chosen. It is wise to go for light colours such as off-white, cream, light yellow or pale turquoise. As we know the kitchen is the area where meals are prepared if it is combined with some modern clean furniture such as marble benchtops Melbourne the more the person will be inspired to cook.
Adding new furniture.
With the trend today, it is a must to have a kitchen that looks presentable and attractive. This could be achieved by installing benchtops. Then the other types of benchtops, granite benchtops Melbourne have a range of extraordinary colours and patterns. Not only the occupants of the house would be inspired to use the kitchen, this would also be a nice way to get compliments from your relatives and friends. Traditionally a kitchen was decorated with the upper cabinets and the open shelves, but this is not proper decorating. Cabinets and open shelves are still used but the purpose they are used for having changed. You could add new shelves that go along with the new trend.
More designs.
Other than the internet you can go through magazines and books to look for more designs. The floors consider about wooden floors or you might even like linoleum or tiles to obtain a vintage look. You could even add low hanging pendants and lamps. However, make sure that you do everything according to the style you have chosen. All these will make your kitchen a more welcoming place for you and your family.
