We are committed to FURNISHING HOMES WITH HOPE and are happy to help provide necessary furniture and household goods to your clients.
If you work for an agency that is partnered with Bridging, please see your agency's primary Bridging contact for information on scheduling appointments. More details can be found blow in the Agency Finder. Questions? email@example.com

If you would like your agency to be a contracted agency please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will make sure you have the application form, schedule a time for a tour, and provide training for our appointment scheduling system.
Let's talk. We'd be happy to have you visit for a tour and talk about whether Bridging Services may be a good fit for your clients. Contact the Client Services Department; firstname.lastname@example.com.
Did you know you can …
- Request a Tour of Bridging?
- Request a Bridging Presentation at your Agency?
- Join an upcoming Case Manager/Agency Tour?
- There are no upcoming Agency Tour Dates at this time. (3.18.20) – read more.
- How much does furniture cost? Our appointment fee is $60. Delivery is an additional $180 (available in the 7-county metro only). Clients may pick-up their own items for no additional charge.
- Are the items used? Most of the items clients receive will be gently used. We work hard to ensure that the items are of good quality, with no rips, stairs, odors, or pet hair.
- My client only needs a few items – can I refer them to Bridging? Bridging's model and fees are for those who need most items in their home – we do not have appointments for only a few items. This ensures that we have the inventory necessary for those attending appointments with the expectation that most of their household needs will be met.
- Can someone shop with my client? Yes,if your client has medical, mental health, or interpretation needs and would benefit from assistance shopping please let us know when you schedule their appointment. Together, we can accommodate these concerns.
- Will you deliver to my client? Yes, within the 7-county metro area. The fee for delivery is $180. Please note: we can only move furniture up 2 flights of stairs without an elevator (this includes both outdoor and indoor sets of stairs).
- Can my clients come to Bridging again? Yes.
- What if you don't have the item(s) my clients want? Our community provides us with tremendous support in the form of donated items. Because we are a donation-based organization, occasionally we may not have an item your client is looking for. Client will receive most items necessary for a comfortable and functioning home at each appointment. We are unable to accommodate "rain-checks" for unavailable items.
- Do I need to complete a home visit? Yes – home visits ensure that clients are ready for a full household worth of furniture. We rely on case managers to ensure that the new items will not create any safety risks or lease violations.
We specialize in providing a "basic home setup" to those who need most items necessary to create a comfortable and functioning home. Although we can never guarantee the availability of any one item, our basic home set-up generally includes upholstered furniture, a kitchen table and chairs, a mattress and box spring, linens, dishes, artwork, and more. (Note: At this time, we do not provide appointments for clients in need of individual items.)
All clients receiving furniture must be referred by a human service provider, healthcare agency, or faith-based community. Most referrals come from agencies that are contracted with Bridging.

The resignation of Madhav Kumar Nepal, who led the party for the past 15 years, has triggered a big question — who will take over the reins of CPN-UML?
By Ghanashyam Ojha
MK Nepal resigned on moral grounds after UML, the second largest political party before the April 10 election, came a poor third in the constituent assembly polls under his leadership. The party Standing Committee appointed Amrit Kumar Bohara as acting general secretary. In the meantime, the hunt for next leader has intensified. Continue reading After Nepal, Who will head CPN-UML?

DO NOT BUY! There's a reason there are no reviews or ratings on devices on the Google Play.
Update: 3 months later; Yes, THREE months later I finally have a refund for this horrible product.
Remember the HTC Nexus One Car Dock? It cost $55, plus free shipping, but, hey, it had a Bluetooth audio device and some speakers on it. It was attractive and well designed. Mine broke after nearly a year, but HTC replaced it.
And the Samsung Nexus S Navigation Mount? That sold for around $40, plus $4 shipping. Kinda steep considering it didn't have any electronics in it at all. A little hard to get your phone out of, but it felt secure in the durable but flexible hard rubber frame. If you were in a hurry you could leave it in the frame and pop it off the mount. It was thin and light enough you could almost imagine they meant for you to leave it on all the time. I'm sure some people do.
But the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Vehicle Dock, for $54, plus $10.50 shipping! is probably the worst piece of equipment I have ever had the misfortune to purchase. If you ordered one please do yourself a favor and cancel. If the UPS guy rings your doorbell tell him you're refusing shipment. The product description says, "The custom fitted cradle holds the handset securely during long rides." What it means is, "If you can get your phone into it, don't plan on getting it out. It's in there for the long haul."
There's about a half inch of hard, inflexible plastic in every direction. If you press hard enough you'll feel lucky if don't break off your volume buttons, power button, and the pogo pins inside the dock. When you hop out of the car to catch the express bus into town just insert your crow bar in the back and have your catcher's mitt ready for when your beloved Galaxy Nexus flies out the window onto the hard, unforgiving pavement. The brainless middle-manager who personally designed this abomination "design can't be that hard, right?" should be sent back to middle-school with a sign on his back that says "kick me!" "c'mon, real funny, guys. ha ha."
It has pogo pins, button extenders, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a micro-USB plug. Jail cells have a toilet. Good thing, right?
Don't believe me? Here's a link to the similar product (without the electronics) on Samsung's own website. Be sure to sort by "most helpful first".
What's that you say? A re-stocking fee? No, I don't think that's going to happen. A 15% re-stocking fee for this monstrosity? That's $8.10 for the privilege of opening this enormous box and fathoming the depths of my disappointment. Can I at least pay the return shipping cost?
Shame on you, Samsung. Shame on you, Google.

Click on photo to enlarge it.
SGT Abelardo V. Miranda June 1, 1936 - March 22, 2014 Squad Leader Mortar Platoon 1966-1967
Abel served with the original 503d Regiment in Okinawa before it was reorganized and became the 173d Airborne Brigade (Separate), later to join it in Vietnam, both times with D Company, 16th Armor. Throughout his final years, he was very active with different activities within the chapter, as much as his physical status allowed. Burial services were conducted at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.
George A. Tyler, Sr. September 19, 1948 - July 10, 2014.
Services were held Thursday, July 17,2014 at 11:00 a.m. at the Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, FL. Pastor Eric Gallmon officiated. Military honors followed. After a long battle of illness, Mr. George A. Tyler, Sr. went to be with the Lord, July 10, 2014. He served in the U. S. Army, 173d Airborne Brigade, 1968 - 1969, during the Vietnam War.
George Tyler, Sr, Specialist 4
"Each of us had friends...close friends...forever friends. George was my closest friend. When that bullet went through his leg, I helped put him on the chopper. Each of us walked the same Nam yet each of us saw different parts. I shall always miss my friend George. Yes I am white and George was black but our blood was red. I know, I saw his and he saw mine." Stephen Manthey
Sgt Robert Lewis, 4.2 " Mortar Platoon, Co D, 16th Armor, 1966-1967
Passed away on Wednesday, April 11, 2018. Bob was a good man and treated everyone with equal respect. He was a exceptional squad leader and kept his troopers prepared for any mission sent to them. Bob attended the first D16 reunion, but had been in ill health since then. He will be missed by all, particularly those in the Mortar Platoon who knew him well.
Albert Lynn Shields
Received a Bronze Star with V and Purple Heart for 4 March, 1968 battle in Tuy Hoa. Born 24 Feb 1947 Hockley County, Texas, USA Passed on 18 Sep 2006 (aged 59). "A great guy and brave soldier. And my good friend." Dave Curtin https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/155284972
Steven Manthey Passed August 19, 2018, laid to rest at the Tahoma National Cemetery October 3rd with military honors.
He was a pretty good guy when I served with him. His experience there made him pull away from our brotherhood. It will however not affect our feelings and sense of loss in his passing. RIP Skysoldier - Dave Hahn
Oh no this is terrible news . We were APC crew members. D11 lead scout track D16 . He taught me the M60 and M16 as soon as I arrived at D16 Armor. I never saw either of these weapons until I got to Vietnam. After about 30 times breaking down that M60 which was his weapon . I asked how many times have we got to do this. His answer was, as many times as it takes to break it down and put it back together without missing a shot in a fire fight. I was his loader and driver for a short while. He got moved to Track Commander on D12. I was placed on his right side M60 at that time. We remained best of friends till he rotated home. We both got wounded in the same firefight and in the hospital together and went back to the front lines together. We took photos of each other. Out of four main track positions not counting a loader was Robert (Bob) Hartwell , Steve Manthey , George Alvin Tyler and Roger. Wallace. I proud to have my name on this list. The other three were my War Hero Brothers . We all together made an unbeatable unit which was well proven by actions in Combat. Combined metals were Bronze Stars , Army Commendation Medals and Purple Hearts. Steve proved to be a very important element of this unit. Steve is one we can all be proud he is our Brother. My prayers go out to Steve and his Family. May Steve Rest in Peace. - Roger Wallace

Today's meals were definitely on-the-go. Gives you a different feel than last Thursday's meals at my desk job.
Breakfast: Smoothie with almond milk + frozen mango + frozen cherries and raspberries + chia seeds + honey. Yes I'm aware that I don't really need honey, I already have a sweetener via the fruit…but… my LORD, I can eat honey by the spoonful, I love it.
Drank the smoothie in the car, on the way to Wright State. Running late… story of my life. I'm not usually late, but I'm not usually early. Something I'm still working on. I had the pleasure of speaking with the Men's and Women's Basketball teams this morning. I love working with athletes.
Did you see my beautiful new Vitamix blender in the picture? My old blender has broken twice. First time, they sent me a new one because it was still under warranty. Second time, they sent me another new one because it's still under warranty… but I'm not dealing with it again so I bought the king of all blenders, the Vitamix. Btw… when I called Black and Decker about the broken blender, they asked me a series of questions to assure it was not my fault the blender stopped working. They wanted to make sure I didn't blend any frozen fruit, because this could break the blender…. uh… did I miss something? Isn't a blender supposed to blend frozen fruit? okay. rambling now.
Lunch: GoPicnic Meal includes almond butter and crackers, dried fruit/nut mix, rice krispie treat, fruit roll-up. These meals are easy to grab when I forget to pack a lunch and don't have a refrigerator. The foods in GoPicnic All-Natural meals contain no trans fats, no added MSG, and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
Eaten at the hair salon. yay for no more grey hairs. 🙂
Snack: handful of olives, cheese stick
Dinner: Darrin and I made homemade pizzas. hellz yeah. Wildtree whole wheat crust, pizza sauce, peppers, onions, Canadian bacon, pineapple, mushrooms, provolone, and mozzarella. I ate 1/3 of my pie. yay for leftovers.
Overall, my day was pretty skimpy on veggies and protein. I'll work on making those up tomorrow. It's all about balance. 🙂

Run Configurations - Doing something a bit differently Follow
Hey guys, I'm a big fan of Webstorm. I bought it for HTML/JS/CSS dev, but having Node there just waiting to be played with got me going in that, and now I love hacking around in Node.
A project just came to my attention - the node-webkit project that lets you use NodeJS with a Webkit front end. Been playing with it briefly, and it's pretty cool - and of course I instantly want to roll the workflow into WebStorm.
I have what sounds like a super minor problem, but it's preventing me from hooking the run command up to use this.
The most relevant run profile looks to be the Node.js one.
I simply replace the path to Node with /path/to/node-webkit-v0.4.2-linux-x64/nw
And then I can target my application "Path to NodeJS file": as /path/to/myproject
The problem her is that /path/to/myproject NEEDS to have a reference to a JS file, or Webstorm complains and won't continue.
The Node-Webkit project works by supplying the "nw" command with a folder or zip file. I'd like to supply a folder - but again, Webstorm complains without a JS file.
Are there more generic run configurations I'm allowed to use, or is there a way to hack the NodeJS config into working?

Brand: Filter King Filter size: 30x32x1 Actual Size: 30 x 32 x 1 1-Inch Filter MERV 8 Filter Rating Protection From: Pollen, Dust, Mold, Dust Mites, Bacteria, Pet Dander, Smoke, Viruses Residential / Commercial Use
Filter King 30x32x1 size air filters keep incoming airflow clean as it enters your home. The air coming inside becomes cleaned as it passes through your filter's tight mesh weaving. Airflow passes through while harmful particles stay behind, raising your home's air quality and making it easier to breathe inside. The air that comes into your home stays fresh, but the filter becomes dirtier in the process.
Dirty air filters are a problem for their system, and if not replaced regularly they become a problem for your home as a whole. The airflow coming in needs to come through smoothly or your home will suffer from issues of dryness and stagnation over time. The air systems become affected too when they try to push airflow through the dirty air filters. Strained air systems will eventually become damaged, and will definitely cause a rise in energy billing over time.
Filter King delivers fresh new air filters right to your home so that you can replace the old filters in a system without worry. We also have new air filter orders of two or more shipped out for free, regularly if you choose our subscription option. Keep a consistent replacement schedule to make sure your air filters function without any issues for your home. Our air filters are capable of blocking out irritants like:
Furnace air filters are used in your home to keep the airflow coming in clean after it has been heated. The tools are necessary to the system but when they become dirty they cause serious temperature issues. Heated airflow is unable to enter your home and thus builds up over time before leading to mechanical damage and a rise in energy billing. Order new air filters to keep the air in your home safe and breathable.

I want you to REALLY think about this.
Are you living the life you've always dreamed of (or is something — maybe even YOU– holding you back)?
Recently I attended an India Arie concert (she's one of my all-time favorite performers). This was the second concert of her new tour after a four-year hiatus. Her music touches my soul and as she shared her story of changing direction because she had been working on a project that didn't speak to her truth, my wheels started turning.
Her comments made me realize that we all have to make tough decisions (sometimes that means letting go of what no longer serves us to do what really fills us up). It also made me realize that it's OK to change course and get really clear about our truth (and what's true for you might not be what is true for everyone else).
• What is your truth?
• Are you being true to you?
• Do you know what's next?
I know that my light is meant to shine brighter. Do you feel this way about your life and work? I invite you to take a moment and listen to India's song "I am Light". Click on the this link to play…
I'd love to hear about YOUR truth? What are you going to do with your light?
15 responses to "Inspiration from India Arie"
I didn't realize that Arie lives in Atlanta. Her music reminds me of some of the music and chanting I used to hear at Omega Institute in the summers. Thanks for sharing. And I agree, we each have to plan our work according to our own lights.
I agree …it's OK to change course and get really clear about our truth!
Thanks for sharing her music Lisa! It's great to find inspiration from so many sources.
Wow! This seems to be the theme of the week!!
A year ago, I wrote a book that I knew would transform lives, I didn't realize my own life would be one of them.
As I read my own book, I realized I could not waste another moment not living the life I've always dreamed of. So, I jumped into living a life centered around singing and music. And, what a great whirlwind this year has been already!!
I think this is crucial.
Why waste a SINGLE moment living something other than the life that makes your heart sing with joy???
Katherine C. H. E.
Author, Be True Rich
P.S. LOVE India Arie, and she's a sweet person, too!
I can definitely relate. I feel like am always growing and transforming to find the best fit for me. Life's too short to waste anytime doing something that isn't perfectly in alignment.
You shine so brightly Lisa, any brighter and we'd all be blinded. I live my truth in many ways, and if there's something that doesn't feel right, I know I have the choice and ability to change it.
More than ever the majority of people never stop and think about this topic. It is so sad. Between devices
such as cell phones, smart phones, ipads, ipods, laptops,
GPS and more on top of being 'busy' the time to reflect
never takes place.
What beautiful music. I think that as we go through life our needs change and our inner truth may also change. It's good to have a plan but also to be flexible and open to new truths and new directions.
I have never heard of India before so thanks for the introduction to her music. I so agree that we should be stepping into and living our bigger vision of our life and would like to share a resource to assist readers to do that called "Four Powerful Ways to Live Your Uniqueness" downloadable here: http://www.uqpower.com.au/resources
Be Unique!

The Yakima Valley AVA was the first American Viticultural Area established within Washington State, designated in 1983. Part of the larger Columbia Valley AVA, Yakima Valley cultivates 17,000 acres of wine grapes with 80 local wineries. Acclaimed brands include: Quilceda Creek, DeLille Cellars, Andrew Will, Col Solare, Cote Bonneville, Betz Family and Owen Roe.
Nearly 40% of Washington state yearly wine production is made from Yakima Valley grapes. In addition to grapes, the Yakima Valley is also home to several fruit orchards growing apples, cherries, nectarines, peaches, pears and plums. Around the town of Zillah, there is the Zillah Fruit Loop driving tour through the area's orchards and vineyards. The area is also home to nearly 80% of the US hop production.
The Yakima Valley's encompasses many AVAs. Three sub-appellations have been created for areas within the Yakima Valley AVA that demonstrate unique microclimates and soil conditions .
The Red Mountain AVA was created in 2001, the Rattlesnake Hills AVA was created in 2006 and the Snipes Mountain AVA created in 2009. To the west, the Cascade Range forms a natural border and creates a rain shadow over the area which requires the use of irrigation in viticulture.
You can visit wineries in Prosser and the Tri-Cities too.

Originally PUBLISHED July 7, 2004
"Get the crab, Sam!" Stacey yelled. "Don't let him back in the water!" The crab was scuttling back from whence he came.
Sam kicked the crab, stomped it, grabbed the net and beat the crab some more, then pinned it to the mud with her foot. "Daddy! Come get it!"
I did. One claw was broken off and the crab appeared to have all the fight whipped out of him. I picked him up by the back legs and tossed him in with his brothers in the tub. He just floated there, dazed and confused. I'm pretty sure that he was dead by the time I put him in a pot. I think he died of post-traumatic stress syndrome.
The end result of the crabbing trip is posted below.
This batch wrestled with chicken necks and lost.

Introduction: Yummy Refrigerator Cake! - Not for Health Concious People! :D
This is my recipe for refrigerator cake, it is really yummy, and will not last long if you have a full house, however it is not really the most healthy thing around... !
oh and yes i'm aware that in progress, it's not the most delightful looking thing either! :D
the best thing about this recipe is that it uses such cheap ingredients, and is really nice, you can use quality ingredients but it tastes just as nice with basic ingredients
you can also chuck any other ingredients you wish, like pecans / walnuts / cherries etc - go nuts!
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: You Will Need..
marshmallows - as many as you want
raisins - again as many as you want
chocolate - i used cooking chocolate as it's cheaper, but you can use whatever chocolate you like
margarine / butter - whatever you have on hand
digestive biscuits
1 medium sized saucepan
1 container for putting it in - i had used up my square shaped ones, so i used a circular one this time :D
Step 2: How to Make...
weigh out the same quanity of chocolate to margarine -
125g chocolate broken into small pieces
+ 125g of margarine
put into saucepan and melt slowly over a gentle heat - make sure that the chocolate melts evenly and doesn't burn.
when fully melted, it will look very glossy
Step 3: Add the Biscuits
weigh out 250g of digestive biscuits - i weighed them out into a ziploc bag so i could then crush them easily without mess
crush into crumbs - i used a rolling pin to make it a lot easier
when crushed, pour into the melted chocolate and mix together
Step 4: Now the Fun Bit!
add the rest of the ingredients
I used raisins, and marshmallows
i made sure to cut up the marshmallows as they are big, but you can either keep them big or use mini marshmallows if you have them!
i didn't weight them, i just went by eye.
Step 5: Put Into Fridge!
that's it! spoon into a dish, i had a silicone one, so it was easy to get out once it had set, but i have used glass pyrex dishes before, and had lined it with cling film to make sure it would come out ok.
for extra choc kick i found a packet of choc-chips and sprinkled on top - i had tried to mix in the chips previously, but found that the melted from the warmth.
put into fridge, wait about 1-2 hours until set
cut into as many pieces as you want, and serve!
enjoy them while they last!! :D

No doubt, CMS has taken a liberal interpretation of what Congress had intended with SMART to create finality in settlements, judgments and awards. What was expected to take 120 days to secure a demand that the Parties can rely on before settlement turned into a process that requires at least 210 days. Even of more concern, was the fact that it could be used only once.

text: Like the Krease EP, essentially slowed down drum & bass. It has all the trappings of 'dark', has all the right ingredients and is certainly tech crafted, but ultimately it feels so self-conscious and self-regulated it almost sounds tired and by the book. Just makes me want to go and listen to the Moving Fusion, Ram Recs et al. back catalogue again. One for the bag no doubt, but a prisoner of its own devices.

Listen to Film Composer and Producer WundaB's New Banger "TING"
When it comes to pure music scenery, WundaB takes the cake. His use of various combinations of synths, bass, and vocals is what distinguishes him from his peers. The single TING exudes rawness while maintaining a certain level of sensuality. The juxtaposition between these two emotions makes it unmitigated. It features K.I.N.G who completely seduces the listeners with his raspy yet smooth tone, and the francophone, Doro, who enhances the song with a distinctive flow.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you 'TING' Please listen, digest and repeat.

"I'm in downtown Chicago to highlight the anytime/anywhere/offline flexibility of The Beat The Boards! course. This Geriatric Psychiatry prep course features 31.75 hours of laser-focused lectures and hundreds of Q Bank questions. But here's the rub – all that great content will do you no good if you don't get through it in time for the exam. Here are a few examples of the ease of preparing with Beat The Boards!: 1) listen to audio lectures on the app as you commute to and from work, 2) answer a few MCQs on your lunch break, 3) watch video lectures as you work-out on the stair climber or exercise bike, and 4) when you know you'll be on call without Wi-Fi or cellular signal, download lectures to your phone ahead of time. Works great on flights as well!
Here at American Physician Institute we're dedicated to your board success. That's why we offer you a better-than-money-back pass guarantee. We don't succeed unless you succeed."
Yours in board exam success,
Jack Krasuski, MD, Executive Director

Laser-Focused Lectures
Board-Experienced Faculty
Detailed Study Guide
Outstanding Pass Rate
Laser-Focused Lectures: These Beat The Boards! Geriatric Psychiatry board review courses are comprised of hundreds of short, easily-digestible lecture modules, each of which reflects exam topics mapped to the ABPN® Geriatric Psychiatry Certification and Geriatric Psychiatry MOC board exam blueprints. The modules are organized into lectures covering all related exam "keywords"; thus, you effectively review every required exam topic and nothing else, acquiring increased mastery of the material in less time.
Board-Experienced Faculty: Lectures are presented by faculty experienced in teaching for board exam preparation. The two levels of medical editing ensure every lecture is up-to-date, medically accurate and 100% board-relevant. The certification and MOC courses share the same tried and true faculty.
Geriatric Psychiatry Study Guide: This course companion makes it easy to follow along with lectures, take notes, and study offline. The PDF includes the complete course syllabus, with all referenced slides, photos, illustrations, and infographics. (Printed version also available at checkout.)
Outstanding Pass Rate: Beat the Boards! Participant Pass Rate: 100%; Overall ABPN® Pass Rate: 95% (2018 MOC Exam Pass Rates – the latest data released).
Comprehensive Q Bank
Realistic Test Environment
The "QBL" Method
Optimized for Learning
Comprehensive Q Bank: You can test your exam preparedness by answering hundreds of board-style multiple-choice questions (MCQs) included with your course. Questions carefully follow the Geriatric Psychiatry board exams content outline, so each question advances your mastery of Geriatric Psychiatry exam content.
Realistic Test Environment: Your patients test you every day – but not in the same way the ABPN® Geriatric Psychiatry boards test you. You learn taking practice tests in the board exam format. It's as close as you can get to the real exam!
The "QBL" Method: To ensure pinpoint exam relevancy, lectures use a method called "Question-Based Learning." Lectures are constructed from a series of board-style multiple-choice questions (MCQs), each coupled to a mini-lecture on that question's topic.
Optimized for Learning: The Geriatric Psychiatry MCQs include detailed, referenced explanations. That way you're not just testing your Geriatric Psychiatry knowledge – you're learning the "how" and "why" behind every board-style question.
Always-on Convenience
Unlimited Repeat Viewing
Lecture Viewing Options
Plus, CME Accreditation
Always-On Convenience: The Beat The Boards! course is available 24/7 online from any computer, smart phone, or tablet device for easy accessibility throughout a doctor's busy lifestyle.

CME: Earn 31.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ by participating in the Geriatric Psychiatry online course. Your annual employer-provided educational funds may be used to cover the costs of these CME activities.
Board-focused Faculty
Remember, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology test you on the entire breadth of your specialty, beyond what's practical in your day-to-day. Let our knowledgeable faculty guide you through a comprehensive review that covers exactly what the Geriatric Psychiatry Exam Blueprint dictates.
Beat The Boards!'s Stress-Free Board Prep
The top FAQ we receive is, "How do I best prepare for the board exam?" Since prep differs for each person, our Geriatric Psychiatry Board Course accommodates many learning styles:
- Highly organized lectures AND extensive Q Bank
- Online study AND live course attendance
- Solo study AND colleague interaction
- Smart phone app AND desktop access
Why this depth of options is crucial to success:
- Your days are hectic and study time is limited. The Beat The Boards! course makes every minute count by providing only highly board-relevant and board-reflective content. Anything not relevant to the exam has been stripped out leaving you with only the nuggets.
- Integrating information is improved when consumed in multiple ways: Our substantial Q Bank allows you to learn from completing hundreds of multiple choice questions with explanations. But answering questions is often not enough to fully master the material. That's why the course includes 31.75 hours of systematically-organized lectures so the pieces easily fall into place.
- Anywhere, anytime, and offline access increases time spent preparing, thus increasing your chances of success. The Beat The Boards! Geriatric Psychiatry Course can be accessed through our desktop Learning Management System and our synched smart phone app, the latter allowing uploading of course material for use when Wi-Fi or cellular signal is not available.

Read What Your Colleagues Are Saying About This Course
"I found Dr. Krasuski's presentations to be well-researched, thorough, pertinent and structured in a way that aided in remembering important details. I passed the geriatric psychiatry board exam with flying colors, thanks to the excellent team at the American Physician Institute."
M. Sethi, MD, Millburn, NJ
"I am still awaiting result but I am very confident that I should pass it. The Geriatric board course helped me lot. This course is not only very comprehensive , it also orients us how to test our knowledge after acquiring it. There are many topics which are tested in exam but they may not be in our radar when simply studying a text book. Most candidates who did not take course would only know during test that a significant part is comprised of Neurology questions . Overall it is very good course to pass the exam and acquire knowledge."
Javed Ghani, MD, Saint James, NY
"Thank you, Dr. Krasuski for putting this education program together and helping me prepare for this difficult exam. I'm writing this knowing already that I've passed the boards. Thank you for your help."

"Great program. It immensely helped me to pass the exam the first time with good scores. Thanks."
Sankar Kodidhi, MD, Lee's Summit, MO
"Excellent; well-organized home study course which provided me with very timely and concise review of relevant topics. I will definitely recommend this course to others without any hesitation."
Kuldip Rai Jassal, MD, Parksville, BC
"I wanted to thank you for the excellent review course that was so helpful in my studying for the geriatric psychiatry recertification examination. The test was a very difficult one, and the video lectures and accompanying notebooks were extraordinarily beneficial. The very best lectures were the ones involving dementia/neurocognitive disorder, where you tied together anatomy, functional circuitry, symptoms, syndromes, and diagnoses. It makes a lot more sense to me now than it ever has before. I'm glad that I have the notebooks to refer to in the future. The test was a very difficult one, and let me reiterate it was very difficult. Your help was invaluable. My score was 87 and passing was 71, and I'm relieved that the damnable thing is now behind me. Thank you,"
Jeffrey Danziger, MD, Maitland, FL
"The courses provided a comprehensive review of psychiatry and geriatric psychiatry. I passed the combined MOC exam on the first try. And just as importantly I appreciated the review of the latest material for my practice. I would definitely recommend the course to others."

for guitar and orchestra
21'30" minutes
Guitar solo, 2 flutes (2nd doubles Piccolo);
2 oboes (2nd doubles English horn);
2 clarinets (2nd doubles bass clarinet); 2 bassoons; 2 horns; 1 percussion; harp;
celeste; strings
Year Composed:
Written For:
Luiz Mantovani
Commissioned By:
The Israel Sinfonietta Beer Sheva with funds from the Israel Ministry of culture and the Adele and John Gray Memorial Endowment Fund.
Premiere Performance:
16 October, 2010
Beer Sheva, Israel
Luiz Mantovani, guitar
Beer Sheva Sinfonietta
Doron Solomon, conductor
Program Notes:
The Guitar Concerto (2010) is the fruit of a long friendship with the Brazilian Guitarist Luiz Mantovani. As students in Boston, we frequently imagined how a new concerto for Luiz would sound. When Maestro Doron Solomon, himself an accomplished guitarist has approached me in regard to a new orchestral work for the Beer Sheva Sinfonietta, the guitar concerto idea was enthusiastically accepted.
The Concerto consists of four movements, interconnected. Few motives repeat themselves throughout the work, treated and colored differently from one movement to the other. The orchestra in a way, serves as is an extension of the guitar and not as a contrasting body.
Guitar Concerto was written for Luiz Mantovani and the Israeli Sinfonietta Beer Sheva; Doron Solomon; music director. It s commission was kindly supported by the Israel Ministry for Culture and Sport and by the Adele and John Gray Foundation.

Matt Bevin must turn over screenshots of blocked accounts, judge says
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin tells people to come straight to his social media accounts for all they need to know about what he's up to, but he doesn't mention that he'll block you if he doesn't like what you say.
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A federal judge has ordered Kentucky's governor to turn over screenshots of social media accounts he has blocked.
Two Kentucky residents with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union have sued Bevin, arguing he violated their First Amendment rights by blocking them on social media.
Monday, Federal Magistrate Edward B. Atkins granted the ACLU's request for Bevin to turn over screenshots of blocked users' comments. He also ordered Bevin to disclose text and email messages about his social media policy and a list of keywords he uses to hide comments on Facebook. He denied the ACLU's request to have Bevin testify.
Earlier this year, U.S. District Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove denied the ACLU's request for a preliminary injunction, ruling they were not likely to win the case.

Consider this: Why can Gov. Matt Bevin block Twitter followers but Trump can't?

Considering a Pembroke?
Warning - Energetic shedding vocal short fur bucket!
If you are not interested in a highly energetic, companion who wants to have a "job" (even if it is a daily walk), a PWC is not for you. If you do not want a dog who sheds year-round, a PWC is not for you. If you do not want a vocal dog, a PWC is not for you. If, however, the opposite is true, then read on…
History of the Breed
Daily Care
Right for You?
Pembrokes have been used by the Welsh as herding dogs, family companions, and guardians of the
arm since 9th century AD. The Welsh originally bred them to herd cattle down the alleyways to market. When the cattle kicked out at the "nipping" heel biters, they kicked over the Corgi due to its short legs. They continue today to be workers and companions for their Welsh owners. It is believed that their ancestry dates back to at least the tenth century. It is unknown whether they are descended from the Vallhunds (Swedish Cattle Dogs possibly brought to Pembrokeshire by the Vikings) or from the ancestors of the present-day Schipperkes and Pomeranians that were brought to Wales by Flemish weavers.
In the 1920's Corgis were recognized as pure-bred dogs in the United Kingdom. In 1934 the Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis were recognized by the English Kennel Club as separate breeds. American Kennel Club recognition of the two distinct breeds also occurred in that same year. Many of us are familiar with the fact that Queen Elizabeth owns several Corgis and that has made them a "royal" dog in the media.
Pembrokes require a proper diet and regular medical care with yearly vaccinations for protection against diseases. Owners who have taken proper care of their dogs are usually rewarded with their Pembrokes living a long and active life.
Proper care also includes regular exercise, grooming, a regular check of the dog's teeth & regular toothbrushing, and toenail trimming. Corgis are notorious for not liking to have their feet touched and nail trimming can be a challenge. Do not let your Corgi get the better of you in this regard! If you cannot trim the nails yourself, have your Vet do the nails. Also, the hair between the pads of their feet needs to be trimmed regularly.
Corgis love to eat anything they can get away from you. Please do not allow your dog to become overweight. A thinner Corgi will live a longer life, free of health issues and back problems. Never feed your dog grapes, raisins, or chocolate.
Pembrokes are energetic, highly intelligent herding dogs with a high prey drive. They need to be exercised regularly and given a job to do. Too much inactivity just might cause him to think up unacceptable activities for himself. They may chase (or herd) other dogs, children, birds, you and anything they deem needing to be herded!
Basic obedience training is strongly recommended. This training is best when it teaches you how to teach your dog. The time you spend in training, especially during the first year of your pet's life, will be repaid many times over by giving you a well-behaved companion, one that is bonded to you and your family for the rest of his life.
Pembrokes can be seen in many areas of dog
. This includes tracking, obedience, herding, agility, fly ball, and rally. They are also still used as working cattle dogs and are loyal family companions.
So, are you the right owner for a Pembroke Welsh Corgi? If you are prepared to devote time and attention to your PWC. If you are prepared to allow your PWC to follow you from room to room. If you can train your Corgi and give him/her a job to do every day. If you don't mind dog hair on your furniture and clothing. If this is all correct for you, then a Corgi will respond to you with love and devotion forever!

The water pressure observed in July and August allowed to reach remarkable levels of maturity for all varietals. With an exceptional sanitary state of the grapes, under a summery weather, the merlots were picked up from September 19th to 25th, the cabernets sauvignon and franc from September 26th to October 5th, the petit verdot on October 8th. Merlots and Cabernets are homogeneous both by their tannic and aromatic richness. Then again, the freshness brought by our terroir gives balance, harmony and long finish to the wines.

Baston CE Primary is a small, one form entry village school, which had grown to the point of bursting at the seams. The building was originally designed for almost half the number of children on the register, so facilities like the library are far too small. That's when the school came up with the ideal solution: a moveable space in the form of a library bus! Lucy Hartley, PTA committee member, tells us how they went about it…
Having faced a challenging few years, St Nicholas CE Primary Academy decided to set up a Parent Council to create a vital link between home and school. We spoke to the school's Parent Council Chair, Jenny Ross, about why it's been so beneficial.
Friends of Heathbrook (PTA) have helped to raise £130,000 for an all-weather astroturf that will benefit the whole community. Here's how they did it.
When Glenbrook Primary School moved into a new premises, the Principal decided that, to help with the transition period, a parent forum should be established, and one was created in February 2017.
Borestone Parent Council (BPC) is a well-established group who describe themselves as "parents who represent parent views and work in partnership with school staff and the local authority to achieve the best for all pupils."

The Betty Boop Collection is about confronting reality and appearances. It opposes the classical approach, which renders the original beauty of the female body, and the modern angle that markets an "airbrushed" version as the ultimate object of desire. Retouched, reconfigured, the body's natural beauty has become almost alien to our eyes. It is urgent to reacquaint ourselves with the body as it is, with its flaws, imperfections, shapes… All that makes it truly beautiful.
"Betty Boop" is consistent with my work. With a nod to this doll-like cartoon character--a feminine icon, but removed from reality, I wished to lift the veil of appearances to shine a light on the reality of femininity.

Greetings. I am a sure of Cardbox 3.0 for managing our library and I would like to automate the circulation function.Please advise me what I can do.
Charles Welling

Lydia, the lack of response should have told that no one will be able to answer your question. You're not the first user, and you will not be the last, who asks a question without telling us what you want. The answer to "I would like to automate the circulation function" is: "automate it". But that is not going to get you anywhere.
Be specific and you'll get specific answers. So you probably have a database with magazines, books or excerpts. You have a list of people who are your customers. Are they in a database too? Then what? Would you like to send them the hard copies or would you like to send them an e-mail telling them a certain title has arrived? Do your customers always receive the same information or do they have interest profiles?
20-May-2009 10:46
It is almost impossible to advise or build an application by this list.
I build a circulation function for several of my customers.
Because most users prefer printing a slip in a table-format (borders), and Cardbox cannot every line of a field print in a separate row in a table, the relevant data + subscriber field is exported by the macro to a special "print" database, which contains the right layout for the slip. Every subscriber in one record - than it is possible by Cardbox to print a table with desired borders. The magazine title and number is also exported is placed in a field that is only used for the header of you slip. This data is erased after the print job.
In this way it is also easy to detect which subscriber is subscribed on what magazines (or whatever).
Simple, easy to develop and not as expensive as many programs which are offered for that goal.
20-May-2009 19:04
It is only practical to start thinking of the technical aspects of automation (and turn to this list's "teckies" for Cardbox-related help), after you have answered all the librarian questions and have made decisions about the circulation system structure and operation that is best for your lspecific situation.

With generous passenger and cargo space for big families, the used Dodge Journey is an incredibly affordable option for your next coast-to-coast excursion. It's equally impressive on a more local level, with infotainment features that include traffic updates and hands-free calling.
With generous passenger and cargo space for big families, the used Dodge Journey is an incredibly affordable option for your next coast-to-coast excursion. It's equally impressive on a more local level, with infotainment features that include traffic updates and hands-free calling. With all-wheel-drive, you can even add a little outdoor adventure into the mix. Check out our buying guide to learn more about the evolution of the used Dodge Journey.
Comfort: With spacious seating for up to seven passengers, your whole family can come along for the ride. The second row even slides and reclines, so your kids can get comfy for the long haul. If you want a little extra luxury on long commutes, look for a model with tri-zone climate control.
Technology & Convenience: The Uconnect infotainment system is one of the best out there. With the crisp, 8.4-inch touchscreen, it's easy to find the app you want. If you're stuck in traffic, use the voice controls and keep your main focus on the road ahead.
Safety: Every Journey model comes with standard antilock brakes and stability and traction control, providing a smooth, even performance. To make sure you never lose your way, look for a used Journey with the optional navigation system.
Performance: On the used lot, you'll find used Dodge Journey models with either the base four-cylinder or optional V6 engine. The former earns greater fuel economy, achieving 19 city/25 highway mpg. The V6 spruces up your power proposition for a peppier ride in merging and passing situations.
The used Dodge Journey attracts buyers far and wide with its excellent price tag. And, with three rows of roomy seating, it's the perfect pick for big families on a budget. You can even find models with a certain amount of luxury, including leather-trimmed seats and dual- or tri-zone climate control.
When you test-drive a used Dodge Journey, make sure you take a good look at its features list. The list will vary from model to model because many features were cost-extra options. For example, if you live in an icy climate, look for a Journey that's equipped with all-wheel drive for enhanced traction and safety on slick roads. You can even find models with integrated second-row child booster seats, which help make child safety a snap.
Dodge updated the Journey for the 2011 model year. In these and later model years, you'll find a more powerful and fuel-efficient V6 engine. If you're looking to make the most of your ride, this is where you should start. In addition to an enhanced ride, these models also increase interior luxury with higher-quality materials.

Mumbai. To save money on taking friends and family out for his birthday and Anniversary, a man has changed both these dates on Facebook to coincide with the month his favourite restaurants are offering a huge discount.
"Everything is fair in love and war," said Randhir Sharma, the 32-year-old man. who is now set to celebrate his birthday on 15th of March "I love my friends and family, so this is a matter related to love," he explained.
Randhir took this decision after he realized that Kotak Bank was offering its credit and debit card customers attractive discounts on many restaurants in his locality for the month.
"Given the number of perennially hungry and shameless friends I have, I can easily save at least 10,000 rupees only on my birthday treat," he claimed.
Randhir is confident that no one will suspect this sudden change in his birthday, as no one remembers birthdays in today's era of social networking.
"You really think that people who wish you on your birthdays remember those dates? It is Facebook that tells them to wish," he explained, "In fact, I myself forget my wedding anniversary and check my Facebook profile to find out when it is before my wife discovers my memory loss."
Realizing that his wife could be the only one genuinely aware of the real birthday and the wedding anniversary, Randhir has taken her into confidence by promising to give her the money saved on giving discounted birthday and anniversary treats during the Kotak's restaurant month.
"She has agreed. She has also changed the anniversary date. Now she will wish me publicly on Facebook on my fake birthday so that everyone is convinced that I was born on March 15th," said Randhir disclosing the plan.
As part of the entire plan, Randhir has already updated his Facebook with "Turning 33 soon. Can't believe how time flies!" status update. His original birthday was on 17th August.

Origami and kirigami, the technique of generating three-dimensional (3D) structures from two-dimensional (2D) flat sheets, are now more and more involved in scientific and engineering fields. Therefore, the development of tools for their theoretical analysis becomes more and more important. Since much effort was paid on calculations based on pure mathematical consideration and only limited effort has been paid to include mechanical properties, the goal of my research is developing a method to analyze the mechanical behavior of origami and kirigami based structures. Mechanical characteristics, including nonlocal effect and fracture of the structures, as well as elasticity and plasticity of …

Recently, nanostructured metamaterials have attracted lots of attentions due to its tunable artificial properties. In particular, nanowire/nanohole based metamaterials which are known of the capability of large area fabrication were intensively studied. Most of the studies are only based on the electrical responses of the metamaterials; however, magnetic response, is usually neglected since magnetic material does not exist naturally within the visible or infrared range. For the past few years, artificial magnetic response from nanostructure based metamaterials has been proposed. This reveals the possibility of exciting resonance modes based on magnetic responses in nanowire/nanohole metamaterials which can potentially provide additional …

This dissertation will investigate two of the most promising high-capacity anode materials for lithium-based batteries: silicon (Si) and metal lithium (Li). It will focus on studying the mechanical behaviors of the two materials during charge and discharge and understanding how these mechanical behaviors may affect their electrochemical performance. In the first part, amorphous Si anode will be studied. Despite many existing studies on silicon (Si) anodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), many essential questions still exist on compound formation, composition, and properties. Here it is shown that some previously accepted findings do not truthfully reflect the actual lithiation mechanisms in …

The objective of this dissertation is to study the use of metamaterials as narrow-band and broadband selective absorbers for opto-thermal and solar thermal energy conversion. Narrow-band selective absorbers have applications such as plasmonic sensing and cancer treatment, while one of the main applications of selective metamaterials with broadband absorption is efficiently converting solar energy into heat as solar absorbers. This dissertation first discusses the use of gold nanowires as narrow-band selective metamaterial absorbers. An investigation into plasmonic localized heating indicated that film-coupled gold nanoparticles exhibit tunable selective absorption based on the size of the nanoparticles. By using anodized aluminum oxide …

Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors GaN (3.4 eV), Ga2O3 (4.8 eV) and AlN (6.2 eV), have gained considerable interests for energy-efficient optoelectronic and electronic applications in solid-state lighting, photovoltaics, power conversion, and so on. They can offer unique device performance compared with traditional semiconductors such as Si. Efficient GaN based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have increasingly displaced incandescent and fluorescent bulbs as the new major light sources for lighting and display. In addition, due to their large bandgap and high critical electrical field, WBG semiconductors are also ideal candidates for efficient power conversion. In this dissertation, two types of devices are demonstrated: …

It is well known that radiative heat transfer rate can exceed that between two blackbodies by several orders of magnitude due to the coupling of evanescent waves. One promising application of near-field thermal radiation is thermophotovoltaic (TPV) devices, which convert thermal energy to electricity. Recently, different types of metamaterials with excitations of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs)/surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs), magnetic polaritons (MP), and hyperbolic modes (HM), have been studied to further improve near-field radiative heat flux and conversion efficiency.
