Although patients with ALS (PALS) may not anticipate being hospitalized as part of their treatment, there are times when other health issues may arise, requiring urgent treatment in the hospital, such as trauma. However, PALS have unique needs that most hospitals may not be familiar with. I had an unexpected hospital visit in 2013 and wanted to share with other PALS a list of things to remember on the way to the hospital, so you can be the most prepared and organized.
1) Medical History prepared ahead of time (update regularly)
- list of your current medications: dose, frequency
- any other medical illnesses
- current physical abilities/disabilities
- current physicians' and respiratory therapists' phone numbers
2) Medical alert bracelet – make sure it's on!
3) Medical equipment: wheelchair, ventilator and masks, chargers for wheelchair and ventilator, augmented communication device – label with name & phone number
4) Medical insurance cards
5) Advanced Directive/Living Will (DNR papers) – especially stating desires regarding life-sustaining treatment, such as intubation, artificially administerednutrition and hydration, and end-of-life medical desires if you are permanently unable to communicate.
6) Documentation of healthcare power of attorney – designates someone to make medical decisions for you when you are unable.
7) Arrange for friends/family to advocate for your care at your bedside 24/7, if possible. Usually, patients call their nurses by using a call button, but if you are unable to move your hands, this is not an option. Having someone else available to call for your nurse will make a major difference in your care. It is human nature for people to provide better care when they know they are being watched by a loved one.
***** Most hospitals are not prepared for PALS and may not have the resources/equipment necessary for extended stays. Be reasonably assertive regarding the use of your ventilator (especially if it's a Trilogy) because the medical staff may want to change your ventilator status when you arrive. Insist that they speak to your personal respiratory therapist before changes are made. Realize, a typical respiratory therapist or physician may not be familiar with ALS. ******
8) Undergarments/incontinence briefs - Hospitals may not provide incontinence briefs, if you need them. They prefer that you go butt-naked on top of disposable incontinence bed pads. If you prefer being more modest, bring your own.
9) Ear plugs - Hospitals are very noisy, and most patients have trouble sleeping.
10) Cell phone, charger
11) Clothes for discharge
12) Get discharged as reasonably soon as possible! Only sick people go to hospitals- the hospital is full of germs, and staying there can increase your risk for getting an infection there. Arranging for home health care can help you get discharged earlier.
13) Some equipment, such as intermittent suction, may not be available through home health care providers, so if necessary, check to see if it's available through hospice.

Why use eClinicalWorks?
Key differentiators & advantages of eClinicalWorks
- Fewer Errors: The manual entry and reentry of data is prone to mistakes, not to mention handwriting and legibility issues that often occur. Documenting electronically rather than on paper eliminates the worry for any handwritten errors, assuring data is correct (as long as it is entered correctly, that is).
- More Accurate Treatment: By reducing human error and incorrect data, practices have a much higher likelihood of providing successful treatment the first time around. EClinicalWorks EHR can recognize health patterns and suggest a diagnosis as well as provide analytics to see how your facility stacks up against others.
- Increased Productivity and Efficiency: Using eClinicalWorks EHR allows practitioners to spend less time charting and documenting patient information and focus more on providing quality patient care. By reducing the amount of errors and providing more accurate treatment, it's natural to see your traffic increase and, in turn, your revenue should follow suit.
- More Patient Involvement: With self-service modules for patients, such as appointment scheduling and online doctor-patient visits, patients are encouraged to have more involvement throughout their treatment process. Patients can view their progress notes and lab results in addition to communicating with their practitioner(s) online.
- Security of Information: Storing medical information to eClinicalWorks' cloud-based server allows you to repurpose space being used to store physical documents while assuring the safety and security of sensitive patient data.
- 24/7 Support: Unlike many other EHR vendors, eClinicalWorks includes 24/7 customer support with no start-up cost.

The following reviews for eClinicalWorks are taken from the SelectHub ReviewFeed which collects and aggregates reviews from across a variety of online review platforms.
horrible, too many click, most of the feather not working. not friendly at all
if working, billing is great. very slow system. you get tired of waiting to load the page and clicking. billion clicking, you will become slave of the system
horrible speed and can not understand support system. i wish i would not chose this system to start with.
I love that this system has all of the functionality that it took two of my past systems to complete.
The only thing that I am not fond of is when you create a new patient it forces me to put all of the subscriber information in. We normally don't do that when we are scheduling a new patient appointment. Although your admin can alter what information is required.
My office wanted one system to do what it currently took two systems to do. The ease of using one system to schedule, confirm patients, send and receive messages is amazing.
So many aspects of this software! There are multiple was to get I various screens.
Can get pretty confusing. I had to get training over a couple of months and I still wasn't one hundred percent understanding.
My overall experience has been positive. Recommend for really big medical practices.

Take your Spring cleaning a step further with these home maintenance tips
While we're all familiar with the term "spring cleaning," there are many important projects that don't necessarily come to mind as we prepare for warmer weather and an increased amount of rain. This spring, use the change of season as a reminder to take care of some easily overlooked projects, and maintain the look and safety of your home.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Clear out the gutters: Throw on a pair of gloves and grab the ladder! Remove larger debris with your hands or a trowel. To clean out smaller items, flush the gutters with a hose, starting at the opposite end of the downspout.
Clean the dryer vent: Despite popular belief, your lint trap does not catch all of the lint and debris generated from drying your clothes. Clean out your dryer vent at least once a year to reduce the risk of a home fire.
Test smoke alarms: Use the change of season as a reminder to test all of your smoke alarms. Replace batteries as needed or replace units with 10-year alarms that don't require you to change the batteries each year. This procedure can be done around Daylight Saving's time and will only take you a matter of minutes and could potentially save lives.
Have your chimney inspected: Think ahead! Schedule to have a professional inspect your chimney for damage caused during the winter months and do a thorough cleaning so you're prepared for the next time you want to use it.
Check your power equipment: Your lawn mower and weed trimmers have been sitting idle for a while. Make sure you clean your equipment and check your blades before using.

272 Entries for "visitor"
What is a visitor? Are we just visiting in this world? Maybe it is really not our world after all and we are just visiting. If that is the case… who would be the host if we were the visitor?
Sitting in a morning waiting for sunrays come…. still beautiful mist.
If I were a visitor to this planet I could only look on and wonder "what the hell are these people thinking?". Greed, corruption and a complete lack of compassion for their fellow humans, plants and animals. And that is just their leaders. The people on the street aren't much better. If I just appeared here I would have to ask myself "do they not see they live on the most beautiful big, blue, ball of water and land with blue skies and clear water?". Why do they not appreciate what they have been given?
Visitor is such an underrated word. In my opinion, it is much deeper than it appears on the surface. A visitor can often bring insight into a place or situation that isn't often explored. Someone who is not a visitor is used to their surroundings, often going through the motions of each day. A visitor's eyes can explore the same surroundings in a different light, and open one's eyes to a whole new perspective. They will find much more in the things you take for granted.
through the looking glass
you plunged your fist
then hips
straight toward my lips
I've fallen for Alice
(so she need not herself)
The an came in the night,dark, lurking in the shadows near the entrance to the hospital. He came seeking refuge from the cold, a traveler in the dark finding refuge in sickness. The Visitor was me.
The an came in the night,dark, lurking in the shadows near the entrance to the hospital. He came seeking refuge from the cold, a traveler in the dark finding refuge in sickness. The Visitor was me,the wanderer, the traveler, the visitor.
the visitor was amused, he had never before seen something so magnificent. He was overwhelmed with joy. Never before had he whitnessed more
She could tell she was unwelcome from the moment she stepped foot inside the door. His sister was glaring at her, and he looked none too happy to see her himself.
"I'm sorry," she ventured, and that just seemed to intensify his anger.
"No you aren't."
rude. polite can't stop looking at his or her hair intruder validation judgemental i can't stop looking at your face, beautiful, you make me feel ugly, i feel stupid ridiculous ready nervous my house you walk in and barrage barricade grenade sometimes
The visitor just came to my door. I didn't know what to expect. Someone had told me that I would receive a really nice surprise but I was actually pretty scared. My mother had died two days ago and nobody was supposed to visit me in at least one year or two. I am a lonely person. I never receive visitors in my home. This is so strange to me… Should I open the door? That doorbell is driving me crazy…
i didn't feel right. i was only the visitor, this was not my home. i tried my best to fit in or at the very least blend into the background, but i felt like i was sticking out like a sore thumb.
He walks in with a gift in his hand not for anyone in particular just a gift that he means to place on the table in front of him and then sit. He will sit and wait until someone cimes up and opens this gift then they will see why he's waiting. Inside the gift there is
The visitor slowly descended from the sky. Each person that saw it, saw something different. A man. A martian. An angel. Something evil. Something good. A quantum being capable of being everything and nothing all at once; it exposed us to ourselves.
I was not a native to this planet, I was a visitor. Sure, i looked and acted like a human being. i had brown hair, eyes, and freckles. i WAS AN average height, an average weight. I appeared the same as others, a little boring, but generally the same. I enjoyed the activites that others did, but ultimately, i was simply a visitor and would not be here much longer. i just had one goal: to fall in love.
Every time I was i my house for the last six months I felt like a visitor. Not a visitor ro reality, or humility, but of love familiar only with that fact and it's profanity. A visitor to family. I haven't felt like I've had a family in a long time. In some ways people might find that fact alone profane.
I didn't here anything, had no idea there was a visitor until the dog let me know that someone was at the back gate. There he was. The light of the morning. Love personified.
A visitor came into my home. He was tall, and fair skinned. His smooth skin, and his light eyes were not appalling in the least. He stood there, his eyes heavy.
one day i was a visitor. I felt out of place but people welcomed me and made me feel comfortable. I love to visit other countries and experience cultures. experiencing food, people , life is amazing.
Someone new, a person who comes to your house, suprise, friend, family, animal, guest, something new, an old aquatiance, pleasent
a visitor came to the door. he came in hesitantly. nobody spoke, they knew he would come sometime. The first women got him a chair, the second brought him a glass of water. 'well' she said, 'I know that you have come for the boy'. 'yes' he said, 'the boy. is he well?. See for you
he walked through the door
my loely visitor
asking for company,
but never getting near,
he looked run down
almost beaten
my i could see
this man had nnot eaten
someone comes to visit me. they are not expected and quite frankly i do not want company. but i let them in anyway and we pass the time; it was more enjoyable than expected.
He came in the middle of the night, hair billowing out behind him. In his hand he clutched an ivory staff, carved with interwoven designs of leaves and vines. He took me by the hand and led me outside. I followed his gleaming silver hair which floated on the wind.
It was night and it was dark
A visitor arrived
He was tall and lean
and was missing a spleen
yes, we won't forget
the Visitor.
He came at dusk
and smelled of musk
yes, we won't forget
the Visitor
It was night and it was dark
A visitor arrived
He was tall and lean
and was missing a spleen
yes, we won't forget
the Visitor.
With a furrowed brow
he came at dusk
and smelled of musk
yes, we won't forget
the Visitor
I really hope you weren't just a brief visitor in my life.
I miss you so much and you've only been gone for a day.

Provides the interface between the Revit KeynotesRTC add-in and the Teletype for Atom package. Allows real-time collaboration on Revit keynote files.
You can install this linker through the package manager found under Settings > Install in the Atom editor.
Since keynote files are tab delimited text files, I recommend the following settings in Atom:
As of now, the KeynotesRTC add-in for Revit must be installed manually, but I am working on getting the code signed (to prevent the warning dialogs at startup) and an installer published on the Revit add-ins store.
Instructions for installation can be found in the KeynotesRTC add-in repository.
Good catch. Let us know what about this package looks wrong to you, and we'll investigate right away.

This is how to set up a SSL certificate on your server and running with it, using DirectAdmin on Debian GNU/Linux.
All of the following tasks are done as root, from the command line:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/conf
create a private key:
openssl genrsa -out cakey.pem 4096
generate a certificate request from that key:
openssl req -key cakey.pem -new
Answer the questions as follows (hit Enter after each answer):
- Country Code: (see: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search)
- State or Province: I put the province I live in
- Locality name: I put the city I live in
- Organization Name: I put a dot (period) which leaves the entry blank
- Organizational Unit: I put a dot
- Common Name: I put the fully qualified name of my server.
- Email Address: I put my email address
- challenge password: I left this blank
- optional company name: I left this blank
This generates a certificate request, and displays it on the screen. Copy and paste it into the Server Certificates – New form.
CACert will then generate a certificate. Copy and paste this to a file on the server /usr/local/directadmin/conf
Save the certificate as a file in that directory called myserver.crt
Next, download the intermediate certificate from CACert: and save it in the same directory (/etc/apache2/ssl). Also, download the CACert Class 1 certificate and save it in the same directory.
Combine the secret key, your server's certificate, and the intermediate and root certificates into one file:
cat cakey.pem myserver.crt class3.crt root.crt > cacert.pem
Change the permissions so nobody else can read that pem files:
chmod 600 cacert.pem
chmod 600 cakey.pem
Also change the owner of the files:
chown diradmin:diradmin cacert.pem
chown diradmin:diradmin cakey.pem
chown diradmin:diradmin carootcert.pem
Edit the /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf and set SSL=1 (default is 0). This tells DA to load the certificate and key and to use an SSL connection. Ensure your directadmin.conf has the values set:
but can be changed as needed.
DirectAdmin needs to be restarted after any changes to the directadmin.conf.
If you also have a CA Root Certificate, this can be specified by adding:
into the /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf file (won't exist by default) and by pasting the contents of the caroot cert into that file.

They want to build a wall — and make New Jersey pay for it!
The Feds must once again charge Brooklyn-bound drivers traversing the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge its famously exorbitant toll when a cashless collection system is put in place this summer — if only to ensure New Jersey commuters stay off Brooklyn streets, a Park Slope panel demanded this week.
Community Board 6's district manager says that Jerseyites have for too long been clogging up Brooklyn highways and byways while en route to Manhattan, spewing exhaust and littering the streets thanks to a two-decade old law that allowed them free passage into the borough via the city's longest span.
"What is left now is an economic-biased travel decision which favors the 'free' flow of traffic from Staten Island to Brooklyn which passes through our district especially during the morning rush hour," wrote Community Board 6 district manager Craig Hammerman in a letter to Gov. Cuomo. "Our highways are regularly congested."
The current one-way toll for Staten Island-bound traffic dates back to 1986 when Islanders, claiming idling cars waiting to pay the Brooklyn-bound toll were causing too much pollution, convinced Congress to pass a law demanding the once-two-way toll be collected only when vehicles came to the Rock. That gave New Jersey drivers the ability to leap-frog into Manhattan through Staten Island and Brooklyn for free, bypassing the Verrazano toll by circling to the Holland tunnel when they head home to Monmouth County.
But this summer, the Verrazano is getting a cashless toll system — where cameras record license plates as drivers zoom by — making concerns about booth-induced smog a thing of the past, and creating an opportunity to start hitting Jersey drivers where it hurts, Hammerman argues.
It is a change people down in Bay Ridge have been demanding for years, according to local leaders.
"CB10 has consistently in the past few years voted in support of restoring two way tolls," said Community Board 10 district manager Josephine Beckmann. "We have backups at every single exit ramp in the morning."
But Rep. Dan Donovan (R–Bay Ridge), who also represents all of Staten Island, vowed to oppose any measure to restore the two-way toll until he's seen data proving that the change would decrease traffic and increase revenue, according to spokesman Patrick Ryan.
CB6's letter to the governor requested a study to determine the effect of a two-way toll, but until then, the change will be a tough sell to Staten Island voters, according to Ryan.
"I think that with any constituency when you propose changing something that's been in effect 30 years, all these theories come up that it's going to be worse because of X-Y-Z," Ryan said. "But if you can say 'We're going to get X amount of revenue we can use for this project,' that makes it easier to discuss."
Rep. and Trumpbuster Jerry Nadler (D–Gowanus), meanwhile, has been a longtime supporter of the two-way toll, but came under fire from constituents after he failed to bring back the two-way toll when the House and Senate were controlled by Democrats during the early years of Obama's first term, according to one activist.
"The Dems had a veto-proof Congress and Nadler failed to do what he had promised his constituents," said Carl Rosenstein, a Manhattanite who created a group called Trees Not Trucks to combat commercial trucking traffic caused by the one-way toll.
But ramming the change through Congress is more difficult than it seems, because it needs to be tacked onto more substantial transportation legislation, which didn't materialize during the two-year window, according to Nadler's district director Robert Gottheim.
But with the new toll technology and President Trump championing new highway infrastructure programs, Nadler sees both the will and a way to realize a two-way toll on the Verrazano on the horizon, Gottheim said.
"Looking forward, there's a strong chance this can be done," he said.
Cuomo's office did not return requests for comment.

Southwest Alb. Residents Left Without Electricity For 12 Hours
As of Tuesday evening, several blocks in Southwest Albuquerque have been without light or heat since 8:30 a.m.
Brenda Montoya's block has been affected by the outage. She plans on staying at her father's home until the power is turned back on.
"It's very horrible, especially with a little one, I mean poor thing, she was freezing," said Montoya.
Quintin Cox is taking care of his bed-ridden grandmother and doing whatever it takes to keep her warm.
"This could be a dangerous situation right here. It's ridiculous, it's absolutely ridiculous," said Cox.
Power has been slowly restored in some parts of the South Valley.
A spokesperson from PNM told Action 7 News that the problem took a long time to fix because they were bombarded with power outages and they are working as fast as they could.

Recent studies revealed that the white button mushroom, also known as Agiracus bisporus, has the same amount of powerful antioxidant as far more expensive varieties of Japanese mushrooms like mitake and matsutake.
Health properties of mushrooms
Mushrooms are precious health food - low in calories, high in vegetable proteins, chitin, iron, zinc, fiber, essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Mushrooms also have a history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. Their renowned effects on promoting good health and vitality and growing body's adaptive abilities have been supported by recent studies.
Mushrooms are full of polysaccharides and phytonutrients that seem to possess powerful anti-cancer properties. The health benefits of mushrooms include lowering cholesterol levels, prevention of breast and prostate cancer and promoting weight loss. They are excellent sources of vitamin D in edible form, calcium, iron, potassium, copper and selenium, and one of the best nutritional choices, especially for vegetarians.
White button mushrooms are the most commonly and widely consumed mushrooms in the world. If left to grow, common white button mushrooms turn into Crimini mushrooms. If Crimini mushrooms are left to grow for another two to three days, they turn into Portobello mushrooms. Mushrooms in a healthy diet
Mushroom caps are great for stuffing while raw mushrooms are used to prepare spreads and dips, or they can be baked with other kinds of stuffing: seafood or cheeses mixed with herbs and spices. Half cup of sliced or chopped raw white mushroom contains about 1 gram of carbohydrates and only 8 calories. One medium white mushroom has about 5 grams of carbohydrates and 4 calories. Five large mushrooms, 6 medium mushrooms or 11 small mushrooms have approximately 2.5 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber and around 25 calories.
Hungarian mushroom soup
This delicious recipe is for four servings. Ingredients to prepare a soup: 4 cups of sliced white or Crimini mushrooms, 2 thinly sliced large yellow onions, 2 ½ cups of vegetable broth, 1 cup of non-diary milk, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin oil, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce or tamari, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of dried dill weed, salt and paper to taste.
Heat extra-virgin oil over low or medium heat and sauté onions for a couple of minutes, until they turn semi-transparent. Add mushrooms, vegetable broth, soy sauce (or tamari) and spices. Stir, cover and boil for around 15 minutes.
Add non-diary milk and cook at a low temperature around 5 minutes while stirring frequently. The mixture will gradually become creamy and this is the right moment to add fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and pepper just before serving.

Please comment below seeing I was not there unfortunately, so I have no review of the demo Expo goers had a chance to play. Though I do know it will be out on both iOS and Android devices with a release date TBD.
I am very excited that this game is coming out. Like many mobile gamers, I have been waiting a long time to see PAYDAY crossover from a PC to a mobile platform. I hope I can get my hands on it soon, maybe even test drive what looks like to be a very will thought out crossover.

Lena Dunham posted a series of shots of herself in wigs on Instagram yesterday with some really funny captions. Check it out:
Her caption: "It's 1984 and this club promoter (Ronnie) had to move back in with his ma."
Her caption: "It's 1973 and this aspiring backup singer is looking for love in all the wrong places."
My congrats to Ms. Office Manager and her cousin.
Now, the Daily Mail is speculating that she's on the *Girls *set (since they're shooting right now), but that's really just a guess. But if this does mean something for character Hannah, I'm guessing that there's a flashback to the time before Lena got her pixie haircut. Perhaps we'll get a peek at what the girls were like in college? We'll have to see.
Any other suggestions as to what this could mean for the plot?

What causes heel pain?
— One of the most common causes of heel pain is a problem called "plantar fasciitis."
Plantar fasciitis is the term doctors use when a part of the foot called the plantar fascia gets irritated or swollen. The plantar fascia is a tough band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes.
Heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis is very common. It often affects people who run, jump, or stand for long periods. Most people who get this type of heel pain get better within a year even if they do not get treated.
What are the symptoms of plantar fasciitis?
— The most common symptom is pain under the heel and sole (bottom) of the foot. It commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your first steps in the morning. As you get up and move more, the pain normally decreases, but it might return after long periods of standing or after rising from sitting.
Plantar fasciitis pain can also be bad when you get up after being seated for some time.
What causes Plantar Fasciitis?
Under normal circumstances, your plantar fascia acts like a shock-absorbing bowstring, supporting the arch in your foot. If tension and stress on that bowstring become too great, small tears can arise in the fascia. Repetitive stretching and tearing can cause the fascia to become irritated or inflamed, though in many cases of plantar fasciitis, the cause isn't clear.
What are the risk factors for the development of plantar fasciitis?
Though plantar fasciitis can arise without an obvious cause, factors that can increase your risk of developing plantar fasciitis include:
- Age. Plantar fasciitis is most common between the ages of 40 and 60.
- Certain types of exercise. Activities that place a lot of stress on your heel and attached tissue — such as long-distance running, ballistic jumping activities, ballet dancing and aerobic dance — can contribute to an earlier onset of plantar fasciitis.
- Foot mechanics. Being flat-footed, having a high arch or even having an abnormal pattern of walking can affect the way weight is distributed when you're standing and put added stress on the plantar fascia.
- Obesity. Excess pounds put extra stress on your plantar fascia.
- Occupations that keep you on your feet. Factory workers, teachers and others who spend most of their work hours walking or standing on hard surfaces can damage their plantar fascia.
Is there anything I can do on my own to feel better?
— Yes, you can:
If you are overweight, loosing weight will help.
●Rest – Give your foot a chance to heal by resting. But don't completely stop being active. Doing that can lead to more pain and stiffness in the long run.
●Ice your foot – Putting ice on your heel for 20 minutes up to 4 times a day might relieve pain. Icing and massaging your foot before exercise might also help.
●Do special foot exercises – Certain exercises can help with heel pain. Do these exercises every day.
●Take pain medicines – If your pain is severe, you can try taking pain medicines that you can get without a prescription. Examples include ibuprofen and naproxen . But if you have other medical conditions or already take other medicines, ask your doctor or nurse before taking new pain medicines.
●Wear sturdy shoes – Sneakers with a lot of cushion and good arch and heel support are best. Shoes with rigid soles can also help. Adding padded or gel heel inserts to your shoes might help, too.
●Wear splints at night – Some people feel better if they wear a splint while they sleep that keeps their foot straight. These splints are sold in drugstores and medical supply stores.
Is there a test for plantar fasciitis?
— No, there is no test. But your doctor or nurse should be able to tell if you have it by learning about your symptoms and doing an exam. He or she might suggest an X-ray, or other tests to check whether your symptoms might be caused by something else.
Sometimes an X-ray shows a spur of bone projecting forward from the heel bone. In the past, these bone spurs were often blamed for heel pain and removed surgically. But many people who have bone spurs on their heels have no heel pain.
How is plantar fasciitis treated?
— The first step is to try the things you can do on your own. But if you do not get better, or your symptoms are severe, your doctor or nurse might suggest:
●Athletic Tape – taping your foot in a special way that helps the support the foot
●Special shoe inserts, made to fit your foot
●Shots (that go into your foot) of a medicine called a steroid, which can help with the pain. Multiple injections aren't recommended because they can weaken your plantar fascia and possibly cause it to rupture. More recently, platelet-rich plasma has been used, under ultrasound guidance, to provide pain relief with less risk of tissue rupture.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy. In this procedure, sound waves are directed at the area of heel pain to stimulate healing. It's usually used for chronic plantar fasciitis that hasn't responded to more-conservative treatments. This procedure might cause bruising, swelling, pain, numbness or tingling. Some studies show promising results, but it hasn't been shown to be consistently effective.
Tenex procedure. This minimally invasive procedure removes the scar tissue of plantar fasciitis without surgery. This procedure allows you to get back to your regular routine in as little as 10 days.
●Putting a splint over your foot and ankle in a way that stretches your calf and the arch of your foot while you sleep. This holds the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon in a lengthened position overnight and facilitates stretching.
●Surgery (this is an option only in some cases that do not get better with other treatments)
Some doctors also suggest a treatment called "shock wave therapy." This treatment is painful and has not been proven to work.
Is there anything I can do to keep from getting heel pain again?
— Yes. To reduce the chances that your pain will come back:
●Wear shoes that fit well, have a lot of cushion, and support the heel and ankle
●Avoid wearing slippers, flip-flops, slip-ons, or poorly fitted shoes
●Avoid going barefoot
●Do not wear worn-out shoes

They may be ideal for spicing up your night, but film directors have often found adult toys as great comedic props. Dildos and vibrators have made more guest appearances in Hollywood than any jobbing B List celebrity.
There have been some great scenes in movies featuring sex toys. To share the joy we've put together the best five clips we could find.
But, a word of explanation. We're talking about adult toys in mainstream movies. In other words the films you can see on TV or online without having to give up your credit card details.
Of course, there have been some amazing adult toy scenes in XXX movies but we can't show those here. Well, we could….
Anyway, back to the original idea and here are our top five clips of adult toys in the movies:
1 Not Another Teen Movie
This just had to be number one. Chyler Leigh (playing Janey Briggs) is hot anyway, but throw in 12 inches of vibrating pink plastic and she takes on a whole new dimension.
The vibrator was going to be Janey's birthday morning treat to herself until her pleasure is disturbed as her father, dog, brother and parish priest drop by to wish her all the best. While the pink magician is still working its magic…
Watch the clip. Shame about the birthday cake.
2 Extreme Movie
This satirical comedy about teenage sex was released in 2008. Amongst the predicable gags and usual japes the vibrator & cell phone scene was a standout moment.
Wait. Vibrator & cell phone? Yep. Let me explain.
It's not only kids on Christmas morning who get annoyed when their toys batteries run out. A teenage girl (Rheagan Wallace) is flustered when her vibrator is out of batteries. Fortunately, her vibrating cell phone gives her an idea…
Needless to say, things don't go quite to plan and the phone becomes stuck. Just as dinner is about to start.
Needless to say, the phone is still lodged in a happy place when an incoming call makes a family dinner an altogether more entertaining occasion than it might have been.
3 Sex and the City
Not a movie but the Turtle and the Hare episode of Sex and the City is adult toy humour at its best. For middle-class white female bantz this is as good as it gets.
Charlotte (Kristin Davies) is initially aghast at the thought of using a vibrator. She changed her mind when she was introduced to The Rabbit. "I thought it would be all scary and weird, but it isn't. It's so cute."
She then becomes so addicted to it her friends had to stage an intervention. Bad rabbit.
4 Parenthood
An electric ear cleaner. How else would you describe a dildo to a small child?
Why would you be describing dildos to small children anyway? Watch Steve Martin and Dianne Wiest in the 1989 classic Parenthood to find out.
5 White Chicks
As funny movies go…this isn't one. But there is a pretty good scene where the two white chicks from the title (actually two African-American men dressed as white women) find themselves at a slumber party with three women.
One of the guys is then invited to demonstrate her/his blow job technique on a dildo. "You want to look that little sucker in the eye," is the first piece of advice.
Watch the clip but don't bother with the rest of the movie.
Tell us in the comments below your favourite scene.

Lifejackets versus PFDs: New safety guidance - A Media Relations perspective
16 April 2013
Posted by: Valerie Doucette
With fishing season just around the corner, it's important to remember that lifejackets are required to be carried on board vessels. They are rarely worn at all times because most are seen as uncomfortable (consider the bulky keyhole-style lifejacket). Unlike lifejackets that flip people to a face up position in the water, personal flotation devices (PFDs) merely provide flotation and sometimes thermal protection. They're often easier to wear and provide more freedom of movement, which is why more people opt to wear them.
If worn during the operation of the vessel, PFDs provide flotation in situations where there is limited time to don an approved lifejacket, as in cases where a person suddenly falls overboard. While lifejackets are still superior to PFDs due to their rigorous testing, approval standards and their ability to turn an unconscious person in the water to a face-up position, PFDs are nonetheless useful aids that serve to keep a person afloat. Wearing a PFD at all times is therefore a helpful safety measure.
But failing to wear a PFD during a vessel's operation is nothing new. The TSB has flagged this safety concern to the Canadian fishing community through a number of investigations, such as the Silver Angel, the Craig and Justin, Melina & Keith II, and Shannon Dawn and Rachel M. Although PFDs are not currently required to be carried or worn on board vessels, they are recommended because of the large percentage of boating fatalities that result from people falling overboard.
New guidance from Transport Canada
A few months ago, Transport Canada released a new Ship Safety Bulletin (SSB) on wearing flotation devices on board small non-pleasure craft and small commercial fishing vessels. Replacing a previous bulletin, this one breaks new ground by allowing certain categories of vessels to carry PFDs instead of lifejackets. It also requires that everyone aboard wear a PFD at all times while on deck of operating vessels. The criteria for the vessels that are permitted to carry approved PFDs instead of approved lifejackets, as well as more detail regarding the benefits of lifejackets and PFDs, are set out in the SSB.
Although there is still a great deal of progress to be made in the industry regarding the consistent wearing of flotation devices during vessel operations, this Safety Bulletin is an important step towards improving the safety of mariners.
With a Masters in Communication Studies and a passion for writing and educational technology, Valerie Doucette joined the TSB's Marine Investigation Branch in 2010 as a Report Standards Officer. She enjoys social media, interior design, running and is a new mom.

Organized by: Hillary Liang
Event Name: Keep Supporting CGIU Commitments Challenge 2016
Our project, Healthcare for the Homeless (H4H), aims to connect the homeless population with health resources and register them for health insurance. Our goal of $30,000 will fund the initiative for the next two years. We will donate all unused funds to homeless shelters in San Francisco.
See our PowerPoint
H4H leverages education and a health resource fair platform to register the homeless population for health insurance. As San Francisco-natives, we recognize the evident problem of health inequity in the Bay Area. We believe that the city and its people have a moral imperative to make sure everyone has access to healthcare coverage as a right and not a privilege. Our solution addresses the growing number of homeless individuals with health conditions in San Francisco. Without resources and proper health education, the homeless population develops chronic health conditions at a greater rate than the general population. The fear of having to pay out-of-pocket for mental health services causes many to not seek help at all. Homeless individuals are more prone to critical health conditions due to their frequent encounters to trauma and self-inflicted injuries. As a result, they utilize hospital emergency departments at a greater rate compared to the rest of the general population. The large influx of patients put a strain on hospital resources needed to treat other acute care incidents, but more importantly, shows that more cost-effective resources are not utilized. A shift towards the use of primary care or community-based alternatives will provide homeless individuals will essential preventative care options. By bringing healthcare providers and potential users together, individuals become better equipped to make informed decisions about their health needs.
From April 2016 to November 2016, we will hold eight pop-up fairs to inform the public about the project with Sunday Streets in San Francisco. These fairs will raise awareness about the issue and garner community support. We plan to organize multiple workshops from January 2017 to October 2017 to teach volunteers how to register the homeless population for health insurance. Our partners, NAMI SF and Concrn, will offer a second workshop series to provide compassionate crisis response classes in mental health training. During Open Enrollment, from November 2017 to January 2018, we plan to hold fifteen pop-up patient-centered mental health resource fairs to educate the homeless population of existing health resources in the city and register them for health care insurance. Our first target community is the Tenderloin neighborhood, which has the largest homeless and at-risk mental health population in San Francisco.
Furthermore, we will partner with city officials, stakeholders, and other local organizations who understand the demographic trends of these communities. These strategic partnerships will bring a variety of diverse resources to the fairs in order to meet the individualized needs of our target population. The fair can reconnect homeless individuals to both health resources and the community, thus helping rebuild trust and decreasing the stigma of homelessness. Thank you for your time and consideration. No contribution is too small. If you would like to attend a workshop or volunteer, please contact - email@example.com - for more information. We greatly appreciate your help in making these pop-up fairs a reality!

A few years ago, I read a book called Progressive Thinking by Harold F. Grant. This book is so full of wisdom. It evoked some significant life changing thought processes for me.
The book is formatted in a way that references a day of the week for the first seven chapters. As I was reading the section titled "Motivational Mondays," I came across something that reminded me of how I had conditioned myself to think about Mondays:
"Don't be demotivated by a Monday moment. You have seen this day before, and it's not how it's looking at you that matters, but how you are looking at it."
I love this!! You have seen this day many times before. This is about changing how you look at it. Over the years, I have REFUSED to look at Monday as a bad day. Yeah, I know. It's probably the job. You don't want to go back. It could be your micro-managing boss, the jealous co-worker, your lack of pay or benefits…the list goes on. All you know is that you dread going back. But if you change the way you think about it, you could transform your Monday mornings into a more positive experience.
I believe people often allow themselves to have such a negative outlook on their jobs because they look at the job as their source, rather than looking at God as the source. Your job is not your provider, God is. Understand that the job is what God provided as a resource, but if you lose that job, just like God gave you that one, he can give you another.
Another thing that causes people to have a negative outlook on their job situation is a lack of gratitude. It may be that this isn't your ideal position or your dream job, but at the end of the day, you have something that many people don't have: a job. You must learn to be grateful for what you do have, for there is always someone who is worse off than you.
Colossians 3:23-24 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
Start to operate as though you are doing what you do for God himself, and not your supervisor, manager or the CEO. Take on a grateful attitude and watch how this changes how you look at Mondays. Know that although you have seen this day many times before, you don't have to look at it the same. If you are at a point where you can't look at it from a different perspective, then it very well may be time to change the routine of what you are doing on Mondays.

PDC Laboratories now offers Legionella testing!
The PDC Labs facility in Peoria, IL, is at the forefront of dioxin testing in Illinois, having served the evolving global dioxin testing market for many years. Dioxins are harmful organic substances that result from various chemical reactions. These substances are produced as by-products of a number of industrial processes as well as some natural processes that involve combustion.
The laboratory offers an extensive range of dioxin testing capabilities including, but not limited to the following:
Dioxin testing in Illinois is needed because there are a number of human activities that produce these harmful substances in the environment. The simple task of backyard burning of dried leaves can produce significant amounts of these substances in the air. Other sources of dioxin include the use of diesel heavy-duty trucks, industrial wood combustion, the use of diesel off-road equipment, automobiles using leaded gasoline, and trash incineration.
In addition, kilns that combust hazardous waste, petroleum refining, cigarette smoking, industrial furnaces, and crematoria all add to the levels of dioxins in the atmosphere. Dioxin testing in Illinois checks for the current air conditions and allows experts to make assessments and appropriate recommendations to concerned entities regarding the mitigation of these harmful substances.
PDC Labs can help you with professional dioxin testing in Illinois among other services, including the following:

A consortium of Ningbo Joyson Electronic (Joyson Electronics) and Asia-based private equity firm PAG have offered funding to Key Safety Systems (KSS) in acquiring the all of the global assets of Japan-based airbag-maker Takata.
Takata's liabilities associated with the recall of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) airbag inflators and other liabilities were not acquired by KSS. KSS, headquartered in Michigan, USA, is a global leader in mobility safety.
The combined company will be rebranded Joyson Safety Systems and be headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, USA.
Joyson Safety Systems executive chairman Jeff Wang said: "Joyson Safety Systems integrates the world-class assets and worldwide operations of KSS and Takata under one common organization and one shared mission to provide the best quality safety solutions to our customers.
"We are excited about the opportunities created through this combination, and we are committed to providing safety solutions of the highest quality and reliability to drive the next generations of mobility."
Joyson Safety Systems is a global leader in mobility safety, generating annual sales of about $7bn. The company operates in 25 countries with more than 50,000 employees providing life-saving technologies to both automotive and non-automotive markets.
The $1.588bn transaction was funded using a combination of equity and debt. Ningbo Joyson Electronic Corporation is the company's majority equity holder. PAG Asia Capital, the lead international private equity partner in the transaction, is the second-largest shareholder and will actively support the integration of Joyson Safety Systems. Future Industry Investment Fund also provided equity to support the transaction.
PAG is a leading private equity firm based in Asia and manages over $20bn in capital. The portfolio companies of PAG Asia Capital, PAG's buyout arm, include some of the best global brands based in the United States, such as Cushman & Wakefield and Lexmark International.
PAG chairman and CEO Weijian Shan said: "PAG has a long track record of working with our partners to build successful companies.
"The combination of KSS and Takata creates a best-in-class business with strong growth potential. We're committed to working with Joyson Safety Systems to build an industry-leading company."
President Yuxin Tang said: "Our new visual identity represents Joyson Safety Systems optimistically advancing forward in a dynamic world. The elements of the circular logo symbolize the global unification of KSS, Takata and our parent company Joyson Electronics, while the bold and modern design reflects our confident and positive view of the future."
The purchase agreement announced on November 21, 2017 was subject to a number of closing conditions, all of which have now been met, including antitrust clearance and bankruptcy court approvals in multiple countries. KSS has now successfully acquired substantially all of Takata's assets, except for certain assets related to the manufacturing and sale of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) airbag inflators.
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as legal counsel, KPMG served as financial advisor, and Jefferies LLC acted as lead financial advisor to KSS.
Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu, Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP served as legal counsel to Takata. PricewaterhouseCoopers served as financial advisor, and Lazard served as investment banker to Takata.
Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison LLP served as legal counsel to PAG.

I promised myself that I would take my daughter to Europe before she turns two, when she was in my womb!

The decision to divorce can be troubling and difficult for many people in Missouri. For the 25% of American mothers who stay at home to raise their children and the 7% of fathers who do the same, the end of a marriage can be particularly worrying. They have spent years outside of the workforce, and, as a result, they may face a much more difficult time obtaining a competitive salary after seeking a job. They may also need additional education or training in order to obtain employment that can provide for themselves and their children.
Valuing stay-at-home parents' contribution in a divorce
Learning lessons from high-profile divorces
St. Louis residents may be interested in Jeff Bezos' divorce and the lessons that divorcing couples can learn. One lesson that this high-asset divorce teaches people is the importance of the divorcing couple forming their own unified narrative. Both Jeff and his wife came out with a joint statement explaining that although they were getting a divorce, they were going to remain friends. This aimed to put and end to speculation and to people taking sides publicly about the divorce.
Factors that affect the cost of a divorce
Ending a marriage is rarely simple for Missouri couples. There are a number of factors that should be considered in addition to the social and emotional toll divorce takes on an individual. One of the biggest factors is the expense. Whether a person uses an attorney or not, divorce almost always involves taking a financial hit. However, if a divorcing couple plans ahead, they may be able to save themselves money.
Many factors contribute to the "gray divorce" trend
The good news for most couples planning to tie the knot in Missouri is that overall divorce rates have declined over the past few decades. However, this isn't true among one notable age group: individuals 50 and over. While the term "gray divorce" was first used around 2004, it's a trend that has existed longer than that. The stigma attached to ending a marriage has diminished, but this isn't the only reason why some people choose to split later in life.
Same-sex divorce often raises difficult legal issues
Almost half a million gay couples around the country have married since the U.S. Supreme Court made its landmark decision in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015. Research suggests that same-sex couples divorce at about the same rate as heterosexual couples, which means that almost half of these couples have already divorced or will divorce in the future. This is a delicate legal issue because the rules dealing with same-sex divorce are still evolving in Missouri and elsewhere.
Avoiding certain costly divorce mistakes
Divorce is becoming increasingly common among people over 50
Older people in Missouri, including those who have been in long-term marriages, are getting divorced in increasing numbers. Two sociologists determined that in 1990 only about 10 percent of people getting divorced were 50 or older. Just 25 years later, the figure had grown to 25 percent. Among these gray divorces, over half of them involve couples with marriages of over 20 years.
Disparity in attractiveness and divorce risk
If one person in a couple is significantly more attractive than the other, this could eventually cause problems in the relationship. An article in "Psychology Today" reported that according to research, couples who are not at similar levels of attractiveness are less likely to have a successful relationship.

Us vs Them
Politics is not a sport. Good governance is not a game of winners and losers. People's lives are at stake when politicians make decisions. Far too many of those we elected have forgotten that truth – if they ever realized it at all.
But it may not be their fault, really. We elected them, after all, so if they focus on making life a little better for a chosen few instead of for everyone, We the People deserve at least half the blame. We've embraced a false division between Us and Them, and we blindly support those of Us who choose to demonize Them.
America once was deeply divided by skin color and ancestry, and those divisions have not yet been healed. We share that history with the Romans, by the way, and we haven't learned the lessons their experience offers.
Today, political differences and material wealth represent the two most obvious divisions that we handle badly. In a multitude of ways those differences ignore our common humanity and encourage groups of people to demonize the Other.
On the broadcast news, in newspapers and online news feeds we hear constantly about "wars" and "battles" between conservatives and liberals, Democrats and Republicans, Reds vs Blues. Every politician is identified by party affiliation before they are identified by where they live and who they were elected to represent. Any kind of difference is portrayed as a betrayal of public trust or the result of stupidity by the Other.
It's no surprise that the process of electing those who would govern on our behalf has degenerated into a name-calling, character-bashing blood sport that looks a lot like the WWF wrestling that passes for entertainment on video screens and in sporting arenas across the land.
In modern-day America we pretend there's a big difference between two philosophies that share more in common than any politician chooses to recognize. We elect people who promise to vote only along the lines of a narrow party platform instead of representing all the citizens within a specific geographic area. One result of that irrational mindset is the practice of drawing district lines to create geographical areas based on the voting history of the folks who live there. That kind of voter manipulation was labeled "gerrymandering" more than a century ago. It was a bad idea then. It's grown into a worse idea today.
I'm a Truly Independent Voter because I believe we desperately need a viable third party in American politics. I registered to vote as a Libertarian – not because I embrace all of that party's principles but because Libertarians are the closest group we have to being that third choice on every ballot.
Picture in your mind one big pile of 230 million eligible American voters. Now take 40 percent of those voters and make a separate pile way over on the side. In that pile are nearly 100 million Non-Voters. Half of them don't bother to register as voters while the other half simply can't be bothered to vote. It's the largest pile of voters in the land, and they have consistently Not-Voted for more than 50 years.
So forget about them for the moment and leave them on the side where they prefer to be. Go back to your original pile, much smaller now at 60 percent of the total. Divide that pile into three equal piles and line them up. Take 3 percent from the pile of voters on the right and move them to the pile on the left. Leave the center pile alone.
As simply as that, you now have the American electorate laid out in four piles. The pile on the right is the smallest at about 17 percent and consists of Republican party members. The left-side pile is the Democratic party at 23 percent, more or less. In the center are the Independents; their pile holds about 20 percent of all voters. Still way off to the side are those Non-Voters at 40 percent of the total.
Electing people into public office who aren't interested in partisan politics is the key to a quiet transformation of America instead of an ugly revolution. Thousands of elections are held every year in towns and counties across the land; it's there, close to home, where the groundwork must begin to create the democratic republic this country has always aspired to be.
When we have more local governments made up of Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and Greens working in cooperation, we'll have a mechanism that can work at state and national levels. That's how we'll get the kind of systemic change that could endure for decades – or even centuries.
