You're feeling unwell and your body temperature is rising. As you retreat to bed and ponder your misery, thoughts start going through your head.
"I've been crook before without a fever. What's different this time? Could it be that my cold — a virus — has developed into a secondary sinus or chest infection — bacterial — or have I picked up something more serious?"
Before you know it, you've moved onto thinking "maybe I need antibiotics ... I'll call the doctor in the morning".
But fever expert Doctor Paul Young suggests you stop for a reality check.
Yes, having a fever is a clear sign that something is going on inside your body, says Dr Young, a fever researcher and intensive care specialist at Wellington Hospital.
But the fever tells you little about what's making you ill or how unwell you are.
"The [most] common thing that makes you have a fever, far and away, is an infection. So if you have a fever, basically it [almost always] means you have an infection," Dr Young said.
But both bacteria and viruses can cause fevers and there's no specific difference between a fever caused by bacteria and one caused by viruses.
How infections cause fever
When you're infected with a bug, your immune system recognises it as a foreign invader and a myriad of processes are triggered to try to kill the bug off.
Some of these processes result in chemicals called pyrogens flowing into your blood stream.
When these pyrogens travel to the brain, they interact with a brain region called the hypothalamus, which acts as the body's thermostat.
When the hypothalamus detects the pyrogens, it "resets" the thermostat to a higher temperature and tells the body to start processes that generate and retain more heat. The result is a fever.
Dr Young says that as well as pyrogens, nervous system signals can also trigger a fever.
"You do produce substances in your liver that act through the vagus nerve (a nerve connecting the abdomen to the brain) to change the thermostat," he said.
But both bacteria and viruses can trigger the resetting of the body's thermostat through these kinds of mechanisms.
So the presence or absence of a fever isn't a good guide to whether it's one kind of infection or the other.
You only have to be laid low with flu, which is caused by the influenza virus, to know that viruses can certainly cause fever.
Whatever the cause, it's thought the increase in body temperature may be helpful in fighting the infection because most bacteria and viruses can only survive in a narrow temperature range.
By making the body hotter, it may help kill off the infectious organism. But no-one knows this for sure, Dr Young says.
Bacteria or virus — why does it matter?
The main reason you might want to know if you have a bacterial rather than a viral infection is because only the bacterial variety will respond to antibiotics.
Taking antibiotics won't help you fight off a virus as antibiotics target and kill bacteria.
It's also worth noting that antibiotics aren't always necessary even if you do have a bacterial infection so it's probably best to talk to your doctor about this.
It's important we all understand this as taking antibiotics when we don't need them can contribute to antibiotic resistance, which makes it harder to find drugs that work when you do have a serious bacterial infection that needs treating.
The most common pathogens that cause infections are actually viruses, Dr Young says. And by and large viruses are self-limiting illnesses that get better by themselves with time, without you needing to do anything much, other than perhaps rest.
If you do happen to have a viral infection that's more serious, other symptoms are more important tell-tale signs of how ill you are, he says.
"If it's an exception [to the 'self-limiting' virus rule], it's not going to be the fever that's telling you it's a bad one," Dr Young said.

This is why it makes no sense to me. But all I can do is take on the most reliable information available and formulate an opinion based on it.I can't remember where I saw it - it was one of the journalists shortly afterwards.
On Reddy's thing, I'm not sure I buy it. If Lloyd Kelly is someone we think is an absolute gem, I don't think we get beaten by Bournemouth, and I don't think Kelly himself is making that choice. The only thing they have is that they are able to get him his game much easier than us.
I don't really have much more to add to what I've said already, but for the sake of summing up in one place:
- our second-choice LB left the club
- Robbo looked spent for the final month of the season, and there'll be more games this coming season
- the club tried to sign a lad that plays in that position, it didn't pan out - for whatever reason
- as far as we know, at this time there are no moves in place for an alternative target
- the current accepted position is that we plan to rely on 34yo (in Jan) Milner and Gomez to provide the depth there
- I don't think this is ideal and at best represents a huge gamble on Robbo's fitness
- the reasons I don't think this is ideal is while I think a 31yo Milner was a good alternative to Moreno, I feel like the 34yo version is going to be a huge step down from Robbo, and Gomez is a preferred partner to VVD and utilising him at LB for any length of time will leave us stretched elsewhere (remember Matip and Lovren have had regular fitness issues throughout their time here). He also has very little experience in the role, and that four years ago.
I can still remember the club planning to make Karius no1 last season shortly before signing Alisson so who knows what will happen over the next month. I'm hoping references in other threads to people panicking over a lack of transfer business isn't aimed at me, as I don't feel this is a fair reflection of my position. Which unfortunately isn't left-back.
I'm going to leave it there as I can't really add to that. Hopefully the club does address the issue somehow in the next month. If not, then hopefully our injury luck holds out another season.

Early Eyes Interview
Interview by Emily Muller, cover photo by Albie Sher
On a sunny July evening I met Early Eyes, an eclectic alternative band with a growing following of young fans. From humble origins practicing in the University of Minnesota dorms, to selling out First Avenue 7th Street Entry, Early Eyes are slowly becoming fixtures of the Midwestern music scene. After their Summerfest show we had a lengthy talk at a picnic table overlooking Lakeshore State Park. We were fast friends and we covered topics ranging from biopics to making music more accessible to young people. Listen in for a chance to hear our conversation and their surprise announcement of another upcoming EP. All polaroid proceeds will go towards Planned Parenthood.
Hala Interview
An Evening with HALA in the Heart of Queens: An Interview and Artist Spotlight
Interview by Erin Christie
HALA, the pride and joy of Detroit-local Ian Ruhala, is composed of the 21-year-old alongside Jake LeMond on bass, guitarist Austin Blicher, and John Kick tying everything together on the drums. Recently signed to Biker Gang Booking and just off touring with label-mates, BOYO, Ian noted how surreal it felt to be part of a label alongside acts such as Bane's World and Innerwave: "Working with Biker Gang, booking shows has been really cool! Hopefully one day Hala will get the chance to play with some of our other roster-mates. Playing with BOYO was incredibly fun, each and every night we were with them." Based on the atmosphere within the small café turned music venue on the night that they played, I can safely say that the audience, myself included, had just as much of a good time!

Since their 2016 debut album, Never Enough, containing their hit track, "End of an Era," the 4 man New York City band, Public Access TV, has fine tuned their retro-seque sound and brought a sense of sonical reemergence to the genre of rock and roll in their brand new sophmore album, Street Safari. On a cold and rainy evening before their 21-plus show at the Great Scott in Boston (thanks John for braving out the frigid Boston weather outside), I had the opportunity to talk to lead singer/guitarist, John Eatherly, about some of the musical influences and connotations that were lyrically integrated in their new album to the growth of PATV since Street Safari seen in their SXSW and music festival showcases over the years.

Interview by Emily Muller
Although Gus Dapperton began making music at the age of eight, he emerged as a prevalent artist in the alternative scene after the release of his song "I'm Just Snacking." With millions of views on YouTube and a look that mirrors popstars of ages past, his calm and humble demeanor caught me by surprise. I had the chance to speak with Gus in Chicago at the very first stop of his first ever tour. Through the course of our conversation I found that Gus is a passionate and successful musician, but that he refreshingly continues to have the same hopes and fears as any other twenty-year-old.

I grew up singing to the flowers and bugs in my garden, I sang before I could speak.(de do do do de da da da by The Police) I sang throughout choir in school and learnt to play guitar, which came in handy those campfire nights with family and friends in Botswana. I taught myself how to play piano and ukulele. I just want to play and sing guitar, in January 2017 I lived in my 1988 Land Cruiser in Cape Town. I aim to do that through my music, moving from town to town once I make enough money to fill the tank, playing everywhere and anywhere I can. Nothing can beat the feeling that comes out of playing music, and being able to share that makes it even more enjoyable.

Chia seeds can be considered paleo due to their health benefits and nutritional value. However, it's advised to include small amounts of seeds and watch your body's reaction to them. Start with 1 spoonful a day. The seeds are gluten-free, so they are safe to use for everyone. Milled or ground seeds will make a great alternative to flour.
Organic Chia Seeds Nutrition Value
Organic Black Raw Chia Seeds from Food To Live are extremely good for you because their nutritional value is tremendous. The elements they provide you with include but aren't limited to Iron, Calcium, Zinc, Phosphorus, Manganese, Magnesium, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate.
The seeds have protein (about 4.6 grams per ounce of seeds) and 9.6 grams of fiber. The seeds don't go bad for years if you store them in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Benefits of Organic Chia Seeds
- They help you lose weight
A chia seeds weight loss diet is a healthy way to lose some extra pounds. The seeds will help you feel full, thus keeping your appetite under control.
- They promote heart health
This food is heart-friendly in that it helps lower the levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol in the blood. It also provides you with omega 3 essential fatty acids that improve your wellbeing as a whole.
- They help you maintain a healthy blood sugar level
Consuming some chia seed pudding, drink, or other dishes with this food every day can help prevent your blood sugar levels from spiking.
Chia Seeds Side Effects
Please note that omega 3 fats, while incredibly good for your health, also have a mild blood-thinning effect. As black chia seeds provide you with a boost of this vital nutrient, you should be careful and warn your doctor about eating these seeds before a surgery. In some people, consuming large amounts of these seeds may lower blood pressure or cause bloating. Eat 2 tablespoons per day and you should be safe as well as able to enjoy all nutritious benefits of chia seeds.
People allergic to mustard and sesame seeds may also be allergic to this food.
Chia Seeds Recipes and Uses
Chia seeds are used for making a great number of dishes. A chia smoothie is the most popular way to consume this superfood. Put about 1 spoonful of seeds in your smoothie.
There are dozens of other interesting recipes you can explore. You can sprinkle them on salads, desserts, and sandwiches, use in baking, add to stews, and even make some chia drinks.
Chia seeds don't have to be ground, but this way they will be easier for the body to digest.
Dogs can have these seeds, so you can mix some chia powder with pet food. However, add only a little and start slow to help your pet get used to the new product.
How to Sprout Chia Seeds at Home
- Yields approximately 3 Cups (1/2 lb.) of Sprouts. Prep 3 Tablespoons of seed, then transfer into a bowl or into your Sprouter. Add 2-3 times as much cool (60°-70°) water. Mix seeds up to assure even water contact for all.
- Allow seeds to soak for 6-12 hours. Empty the seeds into your Sprouter (if necessary). Drain off the soak water. Rinse thoroughly with cool (60°-70°) water. Drain thoroughly! Set your Sprouter anywhere out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (70° is optimal) between Rinses. Ensure sufficient air-circulation is provided.
- Always be sure to Drain very thoroughly. The most common cause of inferior sprouts is inadequate drainage. Rinse and Drain again every 8-12 hours for 3 days.
Enjoy your home-made sprouts!

Surrey Fire Alarm Installation
Surrey is one of the home-counties bordering Greater London. It's in the South-East England and the county down is Guildford.
Guildford and Woking are Surrey's largest towns, almost the same size as each other in terms of population. Other significant towns in the county include Ewell, Camberley, Ashford, Epsom and Farnham.
The North Downs lie in Surrey, dividing the county east to west. Surrey has a fair few connections to popular music in the past few decades. Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Paul Weller and Norman Cook were all born in the county.
Being so close to London, Surrey benefits from the excellent road network, mainly the M3, as well as the rail network and all of London's international airports.
Many businesses in Surrey use Fire Care and Security to provide their security and fire care services. The fully qualified engineers look after all areas of the county, ensuring that the premises are safe to work in by providing legal fire risk assessments, proper use and practice of fire extinguishers (installation, servicing and training), fire doors and fire alarms. Fire training can be provided for fire warden training and fire marshall training. This can take place on-site at the premises if required. Fire extinguisher training is also highly recommended so your staff no what to do in case of an emergency.
As well as the fire care side of things, security is also an important part of protecting your business. Fire Care and Security offer a full range of security systems, that suit all types of businesses (and domestic homes), and all budgets.
CCTV Installation in Surrey
Our experienced engineers can install intruder alarms, security gates, door access units and CCTV systems. Fire Care and Security also service and manage these systems, ensuring everything is in full working order. Installing CCTV systems around your business premises can be a great deterrent to would-be thieves looking for an easy option.

I am into photography and modelling, and love creating all manner of cosplays and costumes. I feel most at home in the Victorian era. I am looking to meet a soul partner who is on my wavelength, who understands and also feels passionate about the things I love, who is good, honest and true to them self and could be my perfect partner and best friend. Gender isn't an overly important issue for me - the soul is the most attractive feature when falling in love. Online dating isn't ideal for me, but I have learned the sort of unique soul I am seeking isn't the average sort of person you can meet anywhere. I am a believer in fate, but also a believer in choices. Last visit: Visible to members only! Sign Up 100% FREE to Get In Touch Join Free Here

From the New York Yimes:
SELLERS and buyers are not the only jittery players in today's housing market. Real estate offices along Main Streets throughout Westchester County are struggling to stay in business during one of the worst markets in decades, and at the same time shift away from their traditional job description to become more competitive players on the Internet.
Reflecting the grave state of the market, Houlihan Lawrence, a family-owned real estate company dating back to the 1950s, announced on Feb. 13 that it was laying off 10 percent of its employees — although not its sales agents, who work as independent contractors.
During the past six months, the company has shuttered 5 of its 30 offices and is planning more closings as it increasingly conducts business on the Web, said Chris Meyers, the chief operating officer.
"It's all part of our down-market strategy," Mr. Meyers said. "Since September the economy has been in a rapid decline, and we can't run faster than this wave any longer."
The company is also increasingly advertising on the Web and establishing business alliances with online listing sites like Trulia.com. "It's striking how consumer behavior has changed," he added, "and as a result we have had to shift our strategies to meet them."
But as the agencies themselves change tactics, so must the agents, said Mark Boyland, the president of the Westchester-Putnam Multiple Listing Service. "The old model of a sales agent who just takes listings, hosts a couple of open houses, and places an ad or two is not enough anymore," he said.
A new breed of agent is emerging, wise in the ways of short sales and other foreclosure avoidance techniques. "That's going to be a large part of the business going forward into the next several years," said Mr. Boyland, who is also an associate broker for Keller Williams in White Plains. "Lots of homeowners have lost jobs and had their salaries and/or hours reduced, and they're in trouble."

So what are your thoughts, will we see Boston real estate offices closing in the near future?

With Easter over, spring is now officially in full swing. I don't know about you, but it is shaping up to be a pretty wild and crazy spring and summer in my neck of the woods. I've got a little hodgepodge of things that I've wanted to mention in my posting, but either didn't have time to or didn't feel that they warranted their own separate post. Here they are in no particular order.
*Things are really starting to come together on Masterpiece's Little Dorrit. My sisters and I are loving it, though we've been a little confused at times. I don't think that it is going to be quite as good as Bleak House, but so far it has been a wonderful and very enjoyable production. We are on episode 3 of 5, so if you have missed any of them, you can catch up here.
*I'm currently reading I, Claudius by Robert Graves and loving every second of it. The political wranglings, the affairs, the murders, the suicides, evil old Livia...never a dull moment in imperial Rome. I have reshuffled my "To Read" list to make room for the sequel, Claudius the God, 'cause there is no way I'm leaving this story hanging.
*I've got books stacked up like cordwood that I need to review. It's been pretty amazing lately because it seems that I have simply been flying through books. I guess that it's because I've been reading 300 and 400 page books versus 800 and 900 page books. I'm hoping to get Peace Like a River reviewed later this week, followed by Kidnapped, David Balfour, and Under the Greenwood Tree. We'll get them wrapped up eventually.
*I've just about got my "Summer Reading Challenge" together for this year. Last year's went really well, so I decided to do it again. I've got my books pretty much picked out, I'm just finishing up on deciding on the order. More on this closer to Memorial Day.
*I mentioned last year that I had joined goodreads.com and I just wanted to say that I have really enjoyed all that it has to offer. The best thing about it is, of course, the thousands of book reviews right at my fingertips. Pretty much any book that you can think of is in their database with ratings, discussions, polls and even links showing which online bookstore has it for the cheapest price. They have also come out with lots of newer features like the ability to become a "fan" of a certain author as well as a selection of over 1,500 e-books including Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Anna Karenina, and Crime and Punishment. Add to this all the online book clubs, the ability to "shelve" books read and wanting to read, and the on-going literature trivia game and you have a wonderful, FREE resource for readers. If you are not already a member, I highly recommend it. If you are already a member or if you become one, please let me know so I can add you as a "friend" and check out what you have been reading.
*I saw this really pretty little reading contraption online today and I just had to share. It is called the "Book Buddy" and it is basically a pillow that holds your book in place while you read so that your hands a free. I think that this would be great for especially heavy books or for people who have difficulty holding anything for extended periods of time. It also has an acrylic pad that allows you to write or to use it for your laptop. Anyway, just thought that it would make a cute gift for the reader in your life (Mother's Day maybe?).
I hope that spring is going well for all of you readers. Feel free to share anything that is going on in your little corner of the literary world (What are you reading? What have you just finished? Any book suggestions for me?). As always, thank you for spending time on my blog.

Back to normal – a beautiful smiling wonderpus
by Darren
Well, with all that campaigning over the blog can get back to 'normal' and I can start showing you pictures of animals in the wild again – where nature intended. When I say 'back to normal', I appreciate that I've been neglecting the blog for a while before the Hamleys situation started as things have been busy, so I'll try harder to show you regular images.
I looked through my unpublished pics this morning, and this image of a smiling wonderpus just jumped out at me. I wonder why!
Wonderpus are an incredibly beautiful species of octopus found in and around the Philippines (I took this one in Puerto Galera in June). It wasn't officially recognised as it's own species until 2006 – it's often confused with the mimic octopus.
There's a study of them taking place at the moment, aided because every animal has a unique pattern of stripes. If you're a diver and you happen to be fortunate enough to see wonderpus while you have a camera, take a picture from the top down. Dive guides in the areas where they occur are aware of the project and will let you know how you can send the picture to the researchers so they can track movement of individuals and build up a picture of their activity.
But for today, I just can't get past that smile!

Summer Solstice 2014
June 22, 2014
Headed out to Bartel Grassland Saturday morning to celebrate the Summer Solstice. Couldn't have asked for a more pleasant morning! The sunrise was pretty uneventful due to a pretty heavy morning fog but other than that it was a beautiful morning. I forget how quiet it can be out there in the early morning. The birds were even relaxing!
I made this picture about 50 minutes after sunrise. This was a perfect example of how the picture can be right in front of you and you don't see it. I was taking pictures of snakes and some flowers and noticed this while sipping on my coffee.
It was a good morning.

HPMC or hypromellose non-ionic, is a water soluble polymer derived from cellulose. Hypromellose (INN) is used to thicken products as well as being a binding agent, emulsion stabilizer, film former, hydrophilic thickener (turns the product into a gel) and viscosity controller. is a semisynthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymer used as an ophthalmic lubricant, as well as an excipient and controlled-delivery component in oral medicaments, found in a variety of commercial products.
Methylcellulose (MC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) are uniquely suited to film formation as a result of four critical properties:
Thermoplastic behavior
Surface activity
Thermal gelation
Polar organic solubility
Hypromellose is a coating agent and film-former used as an inactive ingredient in the pharmaceutical industry. It has also been used as a rate-controlling polymer for sustained-release dose forms. As a powder, hypromellose is off-white to beige and may be in granules.
Hypromellose is considered an inert ingredient. It has a high viscosity and is often used in ophthalmic preparations as artificial tears for dry eyes. In the US, it is available over-the-counter (OTC) in such products as Isopto Tears and Nature's Tears.

"Fun can change human behavior for the better"
— Kevin Richardson, winner of the Volkswagen Fun Theory award
WayBetter was founded by Jamie Rosen, a toy inventor who had the idea to use games to nudge people to live happier, healthier lives. We launched our first game in 2013 — to help people lose weight. Since then we've launched games to sit less, exercise more, and quit smoking. We're up to nearly a million customers and have paid out over $90 million to our winners, who have collectively lost 13 million pounds and walked and run 100 million miles.
The WayBetter Way
What makes our games so uniquely effective? Motivation. Accountability. Community. It's all based on science. We've teamed up with researchers at Brown Medical School to apply the latest findings in behavioral economics, gamification, and peer support.
To put it another way: we make it fun to set goals and stick to them. #LiveWayBetter
To put it another way: we make it fun to set goals and stick to them. #LiveWayBetter
A WayBetter World
What started out as a social weight-loss game has blossomed into a goal-oriented social network with nearly a million people who have bet on themselves. Along the way, we've worked with the most well-known innovators in health and wellness, including Jillian Michaels, Tim Ferriss, Autumn Calabrese, Shaun T, Tony Horton, and Chris & Heidi Powell, plus hundreds of others.
A WayBetter Company
Have you ever liked a product so much that you wanted to work at the company that makes it? We know that feeling well ... half our employees started as WayBetter players with no intention of ever working for the company (we post jobs in our game feeds). Hiring our customers has led to a unique culture: a diverse team where everyone gets what we're all about and is passionate about helping others succeed. We relate to our customers because we are our customers!
Working at WayBetter is a labor of love. If you believe in our mission as much as we do, join us!

Experienced, trusted and so easy to work with.

Capital acts as a bulwark against losses and affords protection for members when a credit union is struggling financially. It follows then that when it comes to measuring an a credit union's financial strength, capital is crucial. When looking at safety and soundness, the higher the capital, the better.
On our test to measure the adequacy of a credit union's capital, SOUTHERN STAR racked up 22 out of a possible 30 points, exceeding the national average of 15.65.
SOUTHERN STAR appears to be more resilient than its peers, with a capitalization ratio of 22.00 percent in our test, above the average for all credit unions.
This test is intended to try to understand how the credit union's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization could be affected by problem assets, such as unpaid loans.
Having large numbers of these kinds of assets suggests a credit union may have to use capital to cover losses, shrinking its equity cushion. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning money, resulting in lower earnings and potentially more risk of a failure in the future.
SOUTHERN STAR fell below the national average of 38.09 on Bankrate's test of asset quality, racking up 36 out of a possible 40 points .
A below-average ratio of problem assets of 0.00 percent in our test was potentially indicative of greater financial strength than other credit unions.
A credit union's profitability has an effect on its safety and soundness. Earnings may be retained by the credit union, boosting its capital cushion, or be used to address problematic loans, likely making the credit union better able to withstand financial trouble. Obviously, credit unions that are losing money have less ability to do those things.
SOUTHERN STAR fell behind the national average on Bankrate's earnings test, achieving a score of 0 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, suggesting 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.

Today was our first day in the clinic, and it was a long, but fun day. We loaded everything onto the buses at 7:15 this morning and started our almost two hour ride to the clinic. When we arrived at the clinic there was a line of about 200 people waiting for us. We were told that the line started forming around 5 am, in anticipation of our arrival. We unloaded the buses and got everything set up and by about 10 we were ready to see our first patients. The process for getting a patient from sign in to seeing a medical student and finally to the pharmacy took some time to get used to. The patients would sign in with our triage team where they would have their blood pressure and pulse taken, and the patient would describe three chief complaints to be addressed when they were seen. The patients then were brought in to see the students for a quick history and physical. After a diagnosis was made, the patients were sent to pharmacy with a prescription for any medications they were going to receive from the pharmacy students. While the patients waited for their medications, there was a brief education session by the nursing students addressing common health issues such as diabetes and hypertension. When the patient had received their medications, they were done at the clinic and were ready to leave. After we had seen over 200 patients for the day, we were ready to pack the bus up and head back to the hotel. After our two hour bus ride, we got to the hotel and had a dinner of fried fish and had a team debrief. We are now going to sort more pills so that we can do it again tomorrow. As the trip progresses, we will be switching up roles so that undergraduates are performing the history and physicals with some input from others and pharmacy students will be doing education etc... We will all have a chance to provide care in ways other than what we are in school for, which may be uncomfortable at times, but will help us grow as providers.

The Perfect Form – Back Squat
Most Common Mistakes
- Positioning the bar too high on the back, almost on the neck.
- Feet too close together.
- Hips not pushed back.
Perfect It Like This
- Position your feet just wider than your shoulders and turned slightly outwards (10-15 degrees) to ensure that during flexion the knees stay in line with the feet. Focus on putting firm pressure through your heels into the ground, poor pressure will cause the body to move forward and not in a vertical plane up and down.
- Now place the bar over your trapezius muscle, across the back of your shoulders and not over your neck (find the prominent bony process of the shoulder blade about the length of your extended hand from the base of the skull).
- Make sure you have a wide grip on the bar, so your elbows are flexed between 70 and 90 degrees. Keep the descent well controlled. It should take you longer than four seconds to get down, (but rise quickly). Gold standard for the flexed position is the knee bisecting the foot with the tip of the knee plum over the toes. Your back must be straight. Keeping your head up and looking straight ahead (into that mirror) will aid this.
- As with the dead lift, make sure you have filled your lungs for the full for the squat and lift back up.
Top tip
Deep knee bending with a heavy load risks knee cartilage injury. The trick is to keep your heels flat and thighs parallel to the floor.

Gaining Connection with Your Child
Janie Hortman
The difference of quantity time vs. quality time is quantity time is just a number of time spent together and quality time being intentional no matter the time frame. Though the quantity of activities can still be fun, such as going to sporting events, movies, entertainment arenas, trips, shopping, play dates, etc, the outings are less about face to face time with parent and child talking to each other. Quality time is spent with the purpose of the focus on the child and building their confidence because they feel heard by the parent. This can have a positive effect on the parent child relationship and a decrease in behavioral concerns in the home.
What are some of these ways to add in quality time to create connection?
- Spend intentional time each week for 30 minutes with an activity your child picks. This activity should preferable be done in the home and allow your child to lead. During this time reflect your child's actions and ask very few questions
- Set small amount of time daily to be with your child- hopefully face to face- but if this is not possible you could Facetime or write your child a note to let them know you are thinking of them
- Eat a meal together during the day at the table where you share with each about the day.
- Create a special habit between the two of you that is done daily- reading a book, saying a prayer, a special handshake, etc.
- Express your feelings of love towards your child in verbal words
- Compliment and reinforce positive behaviors when your child has done something that you want to see them do again
- Create as many opportunities for play and laughter as possible- this is a child's natural language
- Put down technology when you are with your child. This will allow them and you to feel like you are present and model good technology behaviors
These steps can be as simple as you make them, but the affects can be a greater connection with your child and lower behaviors or emotions in your house. Also, by creating a strong parent- child connection, you will an increase in your child's self-confidence and positive influence. Release the guilt over busy schedules, because there is always room for quality time!

SADA Systems, Inc. uses Google Sites to create its public website
2 comments :
Blogger succeeded because it allows users a high degree of page customization. Technically proficient users can make their blog look unique and fresh and exactly how they envision it.ReplyDelete
Page layout and customization in Google Sites is highly restricted. Even SADA Systems cannot break out of the cookie-cutter look of Google Sites.
Google Sites is being used by nobody (let's be honest), despite no longer being a sophomore service. I believe the extraordinarily restrictive layout options is the sole reason.
Given that Sites is an important part of Google's Apps and Docs strategy, I cannot fathom why Google is keeping Sites shackled and dosed up on valium. Make Sites more Blogger like, more customizable, more Google Pages like, and you would have a winner.

15. Re: PSoC Creator 4.1 UpdateRoNo_264271 Jul 24, 2017 12:07 PM (in response to MarkS_11)
Hi Mark!
It's a fresh created project, created with PSoC Creator 4.1. I've facing this issue on several pc's and it started with the release of PSoC Creator 4.0. The difference is that with 4.0 building twice gives a valid output. With 4.1 only clicking 'compile file' and next 'build' will do the trick.
Take a look at the screenshot below, I changed the main.c file, clicked 'build' and made the screenshot.
Deleting the OMF file also doesn't change the behavior. This file isn't also regenerated after the main.c file has changed, only at clean & build.
Maybe it has to do with the Dutch time notation setting in Windows. I'll test this.
*added after 20 minutes: changing to US notation doesn't solve the problem.
16. Re: PSoC Creator 4.1 UpdateMarkS_11 Jul 24, 2017 1:42 PM (in response to RoNo_264271)
I cannot reproduce the behavior. Would it be possible to see the project? I do not know if you can share what you are working on but it sounds like this happens with really simple projects. The simpler the better! ! ! Please post here and email me at email@example.com so, if nothing arrives, I will know there is a problem.
17. Re: PSoC Creator 4.1 UpdateRoNo_264271 Jul 27, 2017 3:18 AM (in response to MarkS_11)
Problem solved. Thanks for the great support you guys at Cypress!
For those who like to know: when your project files are on an exFAT filesystem or for some reason there's a small delay in syncing the project file timestamps, building may not work well. Try to move your project to another disk with NTFS filesystem.
Will be fixed with version 4.2.

19. Re: PSoC Creator 4.1 UpdateMarkS_11 Aug 3, 2017 6:49 PM (in response to WaMa_286156)
I am pretty sure that you are actually targeting a PSoC 4 device. In PSoC 6 there is a new component, called PDL_GPIO, because the pins are a little different. On PSoC 4 the component is called cy_pins. We have not obsoleted the components in your picture - but I can see how you get to that conclusion. How to check this?
In the Workspace Explorer the target device is shown in square brackets after the project name. If it starts with "CY8C4" then you have a PSoC 4 device. Unfortunately, you cannot change a PSoC 4 project to PSoC 6 because the architectures of the devices are very different. Another tip is to hover the mouse over the component in the schematic. It pops up a panel that starts with something like "Component name: cy_pins_v2_20" so you can tell what kind of component it is.
I think the lesson here, for us, is that the new Project dialog and the Device Selector are getting hard to use. We have so many devices in there that it is really easy to pick the wrong one. We are going to have to take a look into that for future releases.

State's new first lady is job-hunting
HARTFORD (AP) -- Connecticut's new first lady, Cathy Malloy, said Thursday she is looking for a new job in the Hartford area and hopes to soon join her husband at the governor's executive residence on a full-time basis.
Cathy Malloy attended what will likely be the first of many ribbon-cutting ceremonies as first lady on Thursday. After several tries and a couple pairs of scissors, she cut a garland of flowers and greenery to open the Connecticut Garden and Flower Show. It was one of her first public appearances as Connecticut's first lady since last month's inauguration of her husband, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
In a brief interview with The Associated Press afterward, Malloy said she is keeping her job as executive director of the Sexual Assault Crisis and Education Center in Stamford until late June, the end of the current fiscal year. In the meantime, she and her staff are in "transition mode" preparing for her departure. Malloy has held the job since 2000.
While her husband has moved in to the governor's residence, Cathy Malloy is still dividing her time between Hartford and the family's home in Stamford, which she said will likely be put on the market by the end of the month.
"I'm up here every Friday, just meeting with people. I'm looking for a job, so I spend my Friday sort of meeting with people, learning more about Hartford, we're doing work on the house," she said. "Just like anybody who is in a transition, moving from one place to another, I'm just doing the normal things somebody would do when they're moving into a new community."
Malloy said she plans to work full-time while her husband is in office. She said her background is in fundraising and development, in addition to the work she's done with the sexual assault center.
"If I find another job that doesn't incorporate (sexual assault services), that's going to be my philanthropic work anyway because the issues that I'm really going to be concerned with as the first lady of the state will still be mental health issues and sexual assault," she said.
Malloy said she will not accept any position that has anything to do with writing grants for state funds.
"I'm specifically looking for a job now that will have nothing to do with soliciting the state for anything," she said. "I'm not going to be looking for jobs or accepting any positions where I would be involved in anything to do with the state of Connecticut."
Former Gov. M. Jodi Rell's husband, Lou, had already retired as a pilot when his wife took office. However, he did a run a medical transport business. Former Gov. John G. Rowland's wife, Patricia, the state's last first lady, worked part-time in the antiques business when her husband was in office, in addition to her first lady duties. She also had a weekly radio program where she highlighted weekend events and attractions.

Pre-Paid Funerals
Pre-Paid Funerals
Over 300,000 people in the U.K. have pre-arranged their own funeral, relieving their families of having to bear the financial burden and having the final ceremony which they themselves would have chosen.
We plan for the future, for our retirement and for our family's financial security, so it makes sense to provide for this final chapter.
The funeral is costed at today's prices and along with a small administration fee is paid into a trust which accrues profits to cover the cost when the times comes. Our preferred plan provider is Golden Charter, who only provide services for independent funeral directors.
Payment terms are available.

Welcome to my creative workshop
Welcome to my site and to my creative blog. This website came as a result of needing a unique place to showcase my creative work, or fine art, without confusing viewers that went to my main design related website. I plan to document my process here as it relates to my fine art and explorations with the fusion of abstract painting with elements of hand lettering. Sometimes the abstract painting is the dominant voice and other times the words and meanings. This blog is where I invite you to respond and voice your thoughts, encourage or critique as you feel led. Share an idea if you have a creative thought. It all goes into the pool of inspiration and is welcome here.
Thank you kindly,
Rod Sawatsky

Security along Indo-Nepal border intensified
New Delhi, May 7: India has intensified security along the India-Nepal border due to the ongoing political strife in the neighbouring country.
The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), which protects the 1,751- km long Indo-Nepal border, has asked its personnel attached with various wings of the government to report to the headquarters immediately.
Adding that the situation is peaceful along the border through the states of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Sikkim, a senior SSB official also revealed that similar orders have been issued to the reserve battalions.
Union Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta has directed the SSB to prevent any movement of unwanted elements along the border.

I keep wondering how much success or even wealth is a trailing indicator rather than a leading indicator.
I meet so many people who think life is unfair to them because they deserve to be in a very high position in the organization they are working for. Or they should be making 10 times more than what they are making.
The truth is this: If God gives them the position they wish for, they will be a disaster at the organization they work for.
If God gives them the wealth they wish for, they will be disaster for that money.
In fact, position and money are not the right motivators for anyone whether they're deserving or not. Both position and money are trailing indicators, for they are a reward and nothing more than that.
What matters is what you become in the process. In the process of rising up the corporate ladder, in the process of earning wealth.
Am I a better person now with a $5M company compared to a couple of years ago when the company was only $0.5M? Absolutely. I have failed many times before taking the company every inch, every dollar, every penny forward. This failure has led to learning. And that learning has led to growth–to personal growth.
If you think life is unfair, think again.
If you spend hours watching TV and expect money to suddenly show up in a lottery, you know who is unfair: you or life.
If you spend hours surfing in the office and expect your employer to give you a promotion or pay raise, you know who is unfair: you or Life.
If this is so simple, why doesn't everyone get it? The problem is popular culture. Popular culture celebrates accidental successes. A typical example being a couch potato who has won hundreds of millions of dollars in the lottery. Luck and unearned wealth are applauded and celebrated. But hard work and hard-fought success are not.

Other Promotions
Once you have signed up for a new account using the LVbet bonus code you will receive your welcome bonus – but that is not the end of the giveaways for LVbet customers.
Online sports betting sites know that it is a competitive market and that is good news for bettors since the way they keep you interested is by offering more promotions. LVbet is no different and will be running a number of promotions at any time.
You can use the LVbet bonus code credit to get going in the sportsbook but then you can expect promotions promising enhanced odds, free bets and acca insurance offers where you can afford for one of the legs of your bet to be unsuccessful to get your stake back.
All these offers can be found on the promotions page of the LVbet site and are a great way to keep on getting more once your LVbet bonus code credit has been used up.
Betting Markets
Once you have received your LVbet bonus code offer you can explore the large selection of sports betting markets on the site. Whether you are a football, basketball or even handball fan there is plenty to choose from.
You will immediately be able to see what live betting markets are available but if you fancy making your picks on upcoming events just click on the Prematch option and you will see all the sports that LVbet covers.
At any one time, there could be over 50 sports to choose from, covering thousands of markets and events. There are the popular football markets covering the English Premier League, the German Bundesliga or Spain's La Liga – but if you are more into MMA, Netball or Water Polo, LVbet has you covered.
Clicking into your chosen sport you will be able to see how many events and markets are waiting for you – and remember you can use the 50% deposit match bonus money to bet on anything in the LVbet sportsbook.
There is a really good selection of markets and LVbet even suggests a number of combo deals – or accumulator bets – with some of their highlighted events.
Live Betting and Streaming
Any sports betting site that wants to attract new customers will need to offer a comprehensive live betting service as this is how many people like to make their selections these days. LVbet does not disappoint in this regard.
The choice of betting markets is so much greater when you are able to bet while the event is going on. Not only does LVbet have a good selection of live betting markets, but they also offer suggestions on which ones to go for and have quick link buttons that will take you to the right place straight away – so you won't miss out on any of the action.
You can use your LVbet bonus code funds on any sportsbook market so that also includes all the live betting events on the site.
An added feature of the live betting section is the cash out feature. This is where you can request a payout on your bet before the event is finished. It may be because you are unsure that your bet will be a winner, or that you just want to decrease the risk.
You will be able to see if there is a cash out option on your bet, as it will be marked as such. The amount of money you receive will depend on a number of factors but it will be clearly stated.
Unfortunately, LVbet does not offer a live streaming service at the moment but there may be plans in the future for their customers to be able to watch the events as they are being played, so keep an eye on the site for that.
LVbet Mobile
At the present time, there is no dedicated LVbet app to download from an app store but you are able to access the full range of LVbet features using your mobile's browser.
When you first load the site on your phone you will be asked whether you want to enter the casino or the sportsbook section of the site and depending on your choice you will be taken to the relevant section.
The LVbet bonus code welcome offer also applies to mobile users so there is no difference at all if you are at home or out and about. That is the real attraction to being able to access a betting site on your phone – having the freedom to make your selections wherever you are and whenever you want.
The casino section has over 400 games to choose from so it is unlikely that you will get bored – and as the sports section has the same live betting markets you could even be at the event in question while you make your bet!
The mobile site can be accessed on both iOS and Android devices and is fully synced with your desktop LVbet account.

Suspected Fake Cops Released Without Charge, Police Vigilance is Up
One week ago three persons were detained by Police on suspicion of being involved in a fake cop racket. Perpetrators actually managed to get guns off two security guards in Belize City approaching them under disguise. It's a situation the Police took seriously since in both instances the attackers were armed and there was the potential for the victims to be injured or even killed. The detainees were released without charges, and today Inspector Fitzroy Yearwood made it plain that they are still persons of interest, while urging continued vigilance.
Insp. Fitzroy Yearwood, Public Relations Officer, Eastern Division North
"We recorded some statements. We did an investigation and because of constraints of time and material evidence we had to release those persons. We are not saying that those persons are off the hook or are not suspects anymore, but we believe that we have to do a little bit more investigation and try to gather some more evidence before we can levy any charges if any charges should be levied against any of those persons that were detained. In an isolated incident where somebody pretended to be a Police officer and approached another security officer at one of our supermarkets on Coney Drive, we did make an arrest for that. It was an aggravated assault charge and that person has since been brought before the Court and has been remanded."
"In situations like these where persons have to be released because of time constraints…perhaps there is not enough evidence but Police still suspect these are the correct persons, is there anything in place in terms of perhaps surveillance to some limited extent that you all can conduct?"
Insp. Fitzroy Yearwood
"We have many different concepts that we use. Surveillance, yes, that's one of our options but we have other means that we go about. We have an investigative team at the CIB Support Unit whereby if the regular relief investigator cannot investigate certain things during regular work time they pick up the case and we coordinate our efforts. At the end of the day these teams meet and decide whether or not there is any evidence for any person or persons to be charged."
"At this time security guards and the general public should still be vigilant though…?"
Insp. Fitzroy Yearwood
"The alert is still up until we break this ring. We believe it's more than one person so we want our security officers to be very alert. We ask our Police Officers to be very alert while on duty. We're trying our best to avoid any more incidents of that sort."
Yearwood says that Police Officers have a regulation number which is also featured on their I.D. cards. All citizens can and should request to see that I.D. when approached by persons claiming to be Police.
