We have all seen the toll those big company lunches, piles of goodies in the break room, late nights with friends and personal life overload has on employees over the holidays. To compensate many times we see reduced work days, employees cashing out overdue vacation, and taking banked days in lieu; without a doubt productivity lowers and everything seems to wind down into slow motion- many offices are running on a skeleton crew and it seems like everyone is taking part in the Christmas cheers (asides from Finance who is preparing for the impending doom of year end wrap up)…
So how can we prepare ourselves for the rapid ramp up that the New Year brings? Try these few things:
1) Before leaving for vacation leave yourself a 'welcome back' note reminding your refreshed (recently un-hibernated) self of key tasks coming down the pipe.
2) Tidy up your workspace. It's always nice to come back to a clean desk that is well organized than a stack of papers and chicken scratch memos you have long forgotten about and can no longer decipher.
3) Add an extra day to you out of office. This is a sneaky one that allows you pre-manage expectations on you to reply to emails allowing you an extra day to read, flag and prioritize your emails.
4) Schedule a meeting with your team before you break for the holidays to ensure everyone is on the same page for the New Year. Nothing is worse that having a plan in place that becomes bottlenecked due to a lack of resources.
5) Set yourself outlook reminders. Do your 2013 version of yourself a favour and schedule your first week back now while everything is weighing on your mind. This reduces stress now, and helps bring back the flow then.
6) Wake up early and hit the gym. A great way to work back into our early morning routines (and now tight dress pants) is to stay active over the holidays and not stay too much away from our normal sleep patterns.
These tips are ones that have been shared with me, and ones that I put in to practice anytime I step away from work for more than 3 days; it allows me to feel at ease when away from the office but also helps me ramp back up when I return and leaves me feeling prepared and not blindsided.
Happy Holidays and New Year to everyone!

Building your own home is an exciting, yet challenging endeavor. You can help eliminate some of the anxiety by selecting the right house plan for your needs, lifestyle and budget. The House Designers provide consumers and builders with over thousands of best-selling stock blueprints from small vacation cottages to magnificent mansions. All their construction drawings include everything you will need to construct your home, from electrical to plumbing to optional spaces to exclusive ENERGY STAR® packages (a great add-on if you are looking to build an energy-efficient home).
When selecting a house plan, the first step is to decide on the basics. How many bedrooms and baths do you need and/or want? Do you want a single story or two-story home? What is the minimum and maximum square footage you are looking for (consider cost and lot)? What kind of architectural style are you looking for – Craftsman, European, Contemporary?
Of course it's impossible to build a new home without taking into consideration cost-to-build and your budget. All of our plans come with a cost-to-build estimator so you can get a rough idea how much your home will cost based on where you live. Before purchasing a house plan you should consult with your builder to make sure that you are within your budget based on the home you've selected and the amenities you wish to have. You can usually modify a plan to fit your budget or if you have enough money – to add more things you want.
After you purchase your house plan you can begin to plan for your home's essentials like building materials, exterior and interior finishes, interior design elements (cabinets, built-ins, floors, etc), appliances, HVAC equipment and bath products. With a good house plan and proper execution, you can be sure to build your dream home.
If you are just starting to search for a house plan, you might want to check out our collection of bonus room house plans, which allow you to enjoy the flexibility of adding space to your new home when you first build or down the road. These house plans allow for room to grow as your needs and lifestyle change. They are typically located over the garage, in the attic or part of a finished basement plan.

Tools, Gadgets, and Widgets - Blog Statistics
One of the things I enjoy about computers is the endless supply of tools, gadgets and widgets. On Saturdays, I'll be blogging about some of the tools, gadgets, and widgets I use that help keep me productive, organized or just plain amused. And if you know of any cool widgets, let me know. You can never have enough widgets.
I love blog or web page statistics. Love seeing where everyone comes from and how they land on my page. Sure, you can wade through all that stuff in Google Analytics (and I do), but another widget I use is Feedjit. Feedjit lets you see who lands on your page in real time. Cool hunh? With a one click overview, Feedjit also shows whether people come to your page by following a link,search engines, or direct. You can customize the Feedjit widget to match the colors of your blog or webpage. Easy to install by copying and pasting the HTML code into your blog or web page. Best of all, it's free! You can buy an advanced or pro widget and there is a free trial for either of those options. I find the free widjit works just fine for my needs.

She was furious, confused and happy all at the same time. All emotions were rushing through her. She knew she didn't want to do this but she couldn't stop herself. There were a lot of questions in her head- answered as well as unanswered. She was questioning the answers and turning indifferent to the questions without any answers. May be this time she was okay not to have any answer. She was okay to be in that confused state. She was okay to question why blue is blue and not orange or cat for that matter.
Things inside her were all tangled and twisted.
'I feel like a small intestine right now.'
'What do you mean by that?'
'You remember, how a small intestine of 6 meter is fitted into that structure surrounded by long intestine of 1.5 meter. I feel like that. Somehow fitted- twisted and tangled but functioning.'
Impressed she was with herself drawing this analogy. No doubt, hundreds of thoughts were crossing her brain. She felt as if she was standing in a closed room and bullets were fired from guns placed at various corners. These bullets were not killing her but each other. Each bullet was a representation of a thought and every thought was either her reality or fantasy. Sometimes reality overpowered fantasy bringing it down and other times fantasy played the role of reality bringing it up. Soon for her, the line of distinction became dizzy and it overlapped. She was left with no other option but choosing the moment itself. And with a deep breathe in, she chose now. Period.
Difficult choice it was but she wanted to try with that small intestine and bullet.

The Rat/Squirrel Pole Dancer- by Scott LewisArticles, featured, Fly Patterns, Fly Tying Tips — By Kevin Hospodar on January 24, 2013 11:29 am
Scott Lewis from Alpha trout outfitters (http://www.alphatrout.com/) gives his take on the Rat/Squirrel Pole Dancer fly. Centered around creating a "Walk the Dog" action of a topwater Zara Spook.
"The Pole Dancer, an Umpqua fly by Charlie Bisharat, is a really neat fly that I've played around with & modified some. So far I've changed the head to make the fly 'walk farther' (it 'walks-the-dog' like a Zara Spook), but all my prototypes so far have been baitfish imitations for stripers, such as a Shad or a Rainbow Trout (see pics). Don't let the pictures fool you–the head of this fly is highly-tuned & has very-specific features that are matched perfectly to this exact hook, so that the fly hangs in the surface & walks back & forth when retrieved. This time I've changed the fly from a baitfish imitation into a rat or squirrel imitation. "
"After a few of these, I decided to make a darker version for night-time fishing, and then I added some fur & some legs, and eventually the fly morphed into a large Rat or Squirrel version of the Pole Dancer. These flies are in size 6/0 only. Here are some pics:"

By Tiara Marchando
When I was young I just had the urge to cover any available blank piece of paper. I tried drawing but nothing I drew looked like whatever I was trying to draw, so I switched to writing. I'd write about anything. When I was in first grade, I wrote a paragraph for myself about the different meanings of "lead" and "led." I was just fascinated by words.
Basically, I read whatever I could get my hands on. For two years my family lived in Sicily, and since I only a limited supply of books in English I read Louisa May Alcott's books over and over. I also read the Bobbsey Twins, Nancy Drew, and some adult mysteries I don't think my parents knew I was reading. I wasn't fussy. I just liked to read.
My earliest childhood ambition was to be the fat lady in the circus. I think I got tired of people telling me to eat more. Then I wanted to be an actress. By the time I was in school, I realized I wanted to be a writer, but in every essay I had to write about what I wanted to be when I grew up, I wrote that I wanted to be a teacher because I knew that was an acceptable vocation for a girl, and I couldn't be bothered explaining that I wanted to be a writer to my teachers. My mother was the only one who knew. When I got out of graduate school, I was only one of two in my class who actually got jobs teachin, and so I became a teacher. I'm sure my family was relieved I didn't become the fat lady in the circus.
I began writing poems using myths as metaphor when I started teaching Mythology and Literature at Pine Manor. I'd been looking for ways to break out of the personal lyric, experimenting with persona poems etc. Writing from narratives that had already been created was liberating in that it opened up new subject matter and let me play with voice.
I don't remember how I came upon Foster's book. I think a roommate may have owned it. The tone of the quotes, combining the imperative voice with gently encouraging language struck me, particularly the ones about the head as I was definitely someone stuck in her own head. Looking at the body in such a detached fashion also interested me. I planned to write a series of poems about all the parts of the anatomy in the book, but, predictably, I never got past the head.
I don't know that I'd make such a grand claim for my work. I like to write series of poems that look at a general subject from contrasting points of view. So, perhaps each of my poems tries to show a different slice of humanity.
That's an interesting question with no one answer. Initially, I began writing in form because that was something I thought I should know how to do. I've always written primarily in free verse, but to ignore form seemed to me to ignore one of the resources of the English language. I began to study poems in form, to read about meter and form, and to work my way through all the exercises in A Poet's Guide to Poetry, a book about writing in form by Mary Kinzie. So, some of my poems in form started out as exercises in trying to master a particular form. Once I felt more confident, I began to match form with content. "Swim Show," for example, is a villanelle, a poem matched to the back and forth movement of lap swimming. "Sudden Departure" borrows the fourteen lines, the turn, and the octave/sestet structure of a sonnet, but because it's a poem about leaving under threat, it doesn't have the graceful rhyme and meter of a sonnet. This explanation makes the process seem completely conscious and planned out. The decision-making is usually quite intuitive.
Most of my poetry is taken from the life I live and that involves family. I think family life is very intense emotionally and psychologically, so a lot of my poetry does come from those relationships.
It's wonderful to have someone to show your work to and to be married to someone to whom you can talk about books and writing, and to someone who understands why you like to spend so much time alone in a room staring at a blank legal pad or a computer screen. Richard has always been supportive of my work and is usually my first reader and critic. Of course, there are also challenges. We both want time to write, a quiet space to write in, so who is going to pay the bills, do the shopping etc.? I imagine any working couple faces these same challenges, but when our children were young, balancing full-time teaching jobs, child-care, household duties, and writing was tough. You just take turns. Falling into destructive competition can be a danger. You have to have faith in your own work as well as admiration for your partner's work. Somehow being a writing couple has worked for us.
The Solstice MFA shares the mission of Pine Manor College as a whole, including its commitment to social responsibility. The option of choosing an applied track during the critical thesis semester allows students to tie their research directly to the community. In addition, the Solstice MFA Program faculty has a strong sense of the writer's role in the larger world. However, I also firmly believe writers need to follow their instincts. In addition to providing community, the Solstice MFA program provides support for the necessity of withdrawing into solitude to create art. The balance of being in the world and apart from the world, which writers need, is a delicate one. The MFA program helps its students find this balance just the Changing Lives Through Literature Program helps participants to gain an increased sense of self-worth and the need to take care of oneself along with an increased sense of responsibility to and empathy for others.
I think the literary canon has expanded since we edited those collections. A Gift of Tongues, the first of those three anthologies, was published in 1987 and it took us at least five years to find a publisher. We didn't even use the word "multicultural" in our preface. The term wasn't current, and we didn't think of the project in that way. In fact, we started working on that anthology because we were angry about how cliquish the writing community had become in terms of who granted and received awards etc. and angry about all the good writers who were being ignored. In the process of putting the anthology together, we discovered that many of these marginalized writers were Latino, African-American, gay and lesbian etc. As I re-read the preface, I see we used vocabulary like "many languages and traditions," "diversity," "an extraordinarily various literature." Looking back, I'm glad we didn't have that word, "multiculturalism." We had to struggle to articulate precisely what we meant. I worry "multiculturalism" is becoming an empty buzzword, but I do think the literary canon has expanded to include a greater variety of voices, aesthetics, and concerns and I'm grateful for that change. Such expansion enriches us all.
I don't know that there's a perfect professor, but I do know that I don't come close! Different content, different students need different kinds of professors, so I don't imagine there's a one size fits all definition. When I was getting my MA in Creative Writing, I found the most helpful teachers those who tried to see what I was doing and helped me find my voice, and complete my poem, as opposed to those who taught me to write as they did, although learning their strengths was also tremendously helpful. So I hope I can help my students find their way to and through their own poems.
I expect graduate students in writing to engage passionately with their work and with the endeavor of writing.
Maybe that like a doctor I should "do no harm." At the graduate level, I see myself as a coach and a resource for my writing students. My most important responsibility is to read their work carefully and thoughtfully so I can help them articulate the possibility of each poem.
If it's not in a biography, probably they shouldn't know it!

Christmas is a time for lavish foods and the best way to frame your Christmas meal is with a unique centerpiece. Today we take a look at some centerpiece ideas to get your ideas flowing.
Combining pine cones, and pieces of wood and bark to form a faux woodland environment is a cosy idea, you can further this by adding small white woodland animals such as deer. These blank white animals can usually be picked up from craft shops as unpainted bases. You could paint them, however their base white is already Christmassy and their lack of detail will stand out amongst the textures of the wood.
Following the theme of woodland, you could use a log slice as a base to create a winter scene. Adding branches and candles can help create a semi wood fire effect.
Some people my not wish to "overdo it" if that's the case, simple white table cloth with a few sap buckets filled with sprigs of greenery and a few model deer can really creative a simple but effective Christmassy tone without being overly powerful.
Creating a huddle of jars can be a simple way of creating a nice centerpiece. Half filling the jars with Epsom salt and then filling some with cranberries and placing tea lights in others can create a warm atmosphere.
Simply adding a wreath to the centre of your table can create an instant Christmas feel, you could enhance this by placing a candle in its centre and possible some around the wreath itself.
While not a centerpiece, a nice way of leading onto your centerpiece is to decorate the frames of the doors leading into the room with either real of faux foliage. This could also be accented with some mild LED's.

Capital Cities - "One Minute More" (video)
"One Minute More" finds Capital Cities skillfully balancing pop accessibility while also emphasizing their indie rock roots.
With "Safe and Sound", the LA-based band Capital Cities made a sizeable pop splash, a feat that is becoming all the more common for bands that, like Capital Cities, began in the ever-fertile realm of indie music. Just like CHVRCHES did last year, Capital Cities shows that while indie music aims to stand apart from the type of stuff that one is likely to see climb to the top of the Billboard Top 20, there's nothing wrong with bringing in unabashed pop accessibility into the indie fold.
The success of CHVRCHES last year is a striking example of this as well; like that Scottish trio, Capital Cities have made it a point to bring electronics right into the middle of their mix. "One Minute More", the band's latest tune, is an EDM-heavy burst of sunny indie pop, an ideal tune to listen to as the summer of 2014 comes to its end. The pop charm of "Safe and Sound" is still present in the buoyant mood of "One Minute More", but the quirks of the latter song hearken more to the group's early indie days, all the while placing them right in the growing crop of indie artists that are incorporating popular electronic subgenres into the guitar-driven rock formula. Simply put, "One Minute More" is the sound of a band that knows how to put out an attention-grabbing song without sacrificing its less mainstream roots, and quite successfully, at that.

For the second straight week, the Niners defense dominated, keeping once again an opponent out of the end zone as they pounded Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Buffalo Bills 45-3.
The win puts the Niners at 4-1 on the season, and it seems like the loss to the Vikings a few weeks back could have been the wake up call this team needed.
The Bills had no answers for 49'ers QB Alex Smith, who was nearly perfect through the air. Frank Gore had his way on the ground as the Niners did as they pleased on both sides of the ball.
Smith went 18-of-24 passing for 303 yards and three touchdowns, while Gore ran for 106 yards and a score on 14 carries for the 49ers, who gained a franchise-record 621 yards in their second straight blowout victory.
Fitzpatrick finished with just 126 yards and an interception for Buffalo, which came in with an NFL-high 16 touchdowns but gained just 10 first downs in its second straight debilitating setback.
The Bills gave up 45 second-half points in last week's loss to the Patriots and again had no answer for a 49ers team clicking on all cylinders.
"Obviously there's something I'm not doing correctly with this football team in the second half, because we've played extremely poorly, and that's as nice as you could put it, in the second half," Bills head coach Chan Gailey said. "I don't have the answers today. I have to find the answers."
Sunday's game shifted five minutes into the second quarter when Smith found Kyle Williams down the right sideline. Williams was tightly covered, but came back for the underthrown pass and made two defenders miss en route to a 43- yard TD that broke a 3-3 tie.
It was over from there, as the Niners outscored the Bills 28-0 in the second half for the runaway win.
Next weeks it's the rematch Niners fans have been waiting for, as the Giants come to town for a rematch of last seasons NFC Title game.

Colin and Daphne started looking around for aged care more than three years ago when Daphne came to the realisation that she could no longer look after their large family home.
"I'd just come out of hospital and I knew I couldn't look after a seven-room house, so we came here where it was easier for me," says Daphne.
Colin and Daphne's search for the right aged care community sent them all around wider Brisbane with Daphne commenting that many places just didn't measure up.
"We had seen a lot of other places before we came here. We went right up to Carseldine and down to Marsden – all over the place – then we saw this place and we thought 'this is good' and we put our name down.
"My daughter had said I want you to come down to Wynnum, but when she looked at what was available she said, 'I wouldn't put a dog in them' they were that bad," says Daphne.
"So, she's quite happy that we're here and I think in time she's planning to come here too when it's her turn."
Since moving in three years ago, Colin and Daphne have continued to be happy with their choice.
"The staff here, you couldn't wish for better. They are really great," says Colin.
"It's a really fantastic place. They have a bus that takes you to the different shopping centres every so often and the doctor comes in here to see you – there's nothing else you need. It's really wonderful."
Daphne agrees, "Everything is so convenient."
Moving to Seasons also allowed Colin and Daphne to continue living together and this year they celebrate their 72nd wedding anniversary.
"As soon as she saw me, she couldn't take her eyes off me," jokes Colin.
Colin and Daphne proudly talk about the life they have built and continue to enjoy together and are particularly proud of their large, ever-expanding family who are now spread across Australia and overseas.
"Our family are scattered everywhere. There are some in Canada, America, Tasmania, Townsville, Mackay – they're everywhere," says Daphne.
"In total, we have 78 children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren!"

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and his doctor wife on Friday revealed plans to start a private school in a hardscrabble Silicon Valley town, mixing education with healthcare.
Mr Zuckerberg voiced pride in his wife, Priscilla, for the plan to create The Primary School in the working-class city of East Palo Alto.
Ms Chan works as a paediatrician and has also been a teacher, seeing first-hand how poor health hinders learning in classrooms, her husband said.
"Health and education are closely connected," Mr Zuckerberg said in a post on his Facebook page.
"When children aren't healthy, they can't learn as easily."
Despite being located between high-income Palo Alto and thriving Menlo Park where Facebook has its headquarters, East Palo Alto has long had a reputation for crime, gangs and poverty.
Ms Chan has been working over the past year with the community to combine early-childhood through 12th grade education with pre-natal support and on-site healthcare for children, according to the blog post.
"By bringing healthcare and education together in one place, the goal is to support families and help children from underserved communities reach their full potential," said Facebook co-founder and chief executive Zuckerberg.
"It's inspiring to see Priscilla grow as an entrepreneur and leader."
In June of last year, the couple began pumping US$120 million (S$160 million) into San Francisco Bay Area schools.
Distribution of the money is being spread over five years, with initial grants going toward initiatives for providing computers and Internet access in public schools as well as training teachers and enlisting parents in efforts to keep students on track.
"Improving public education in our country and our community is something Priscilla and I really care about," Mr Zuckerberg said at the time.
More than five years ago, he channelled US$100 million into improving schools in the New Jersey city of Newark in an early foray into improving public education that got failing grades.

Lodha Panel verdict on CSK & RR to have limited effect on IPL brand pull, say experts
While there may be pitfalls for IPL in the next two years in the absence of CSK and RR, from a broader perspective, IPL's brand power will not diminish, say marketers and media planners
IPL has been big on brand attraction. The recent edition of IPL had seen a number of brands associating with the property whether it was on-air, on-ground or team sponsorship. We had earlier reported brands had increased their spends by 15-25% on IPL 8. While the on-air ad spends are expected to over Rs.1,100 crore this season from an estimated Rs.800 last year. The on-ground sponsorship for IPL was estimated to rake in Rs.250 crore, while team sponsorship for some teams had risen to Rs.30-35 crore from Rs.20 crore last season. But the recent verdict by the Lodha panel to suspend two teams i.e. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals for two years comes as big blow to brand power of IPL.
IPL 8 managed to get 12 brands as lead sponsors for on-air which includes Vodafone, Amazon, Hero MotoCorp, Vimal Pan Masala, Paytm, Intex Mobiles, Cardekho.com, Magicbricks.com, PepsiCo, Raymond and Parle Products. On-ground had brands such as PepsiCo as the title sponsor, followed by Yes Bank, Hotstar.com, Vodafone, McDowell's No.1 and CEAT. Similarly, there were a score of brand associations for the IPL franchises. Some teams like Kings XI Punjab had seen even 16-18 brands associations. With IPL high on brand attraction we asked marketers and media planners if the property would face issues in attracting brands in the next season due to the Lodha panel verdict.
While brand marketers definitely felt that the issue would have a great impact on how brands will look at associating with the property, senior media planners felt that the banning of the two teams will be limited to a short term impact. According to a marketer from a brand which is a key sponsor of an IPL team on the condition of anonymity said it will definitely impact a brand's association with a team. Brands associated with the IPL teams CSK and Rajasthan Royals might choose to pull out in the same way that brands pull out of their association after what happened during the Tiger Woods controversy. No brand wants to be associated with something that is controversial.
Sanjay Tripathy, SVP – Head Marketing, Product, Digital & Ecommerce, HDFC Life said, "The brands involved with the franchise will definitely get affected. Overall people viewing the tournament will come down because of these two popular teams, so overall the viewership will come down. So that will indirectly affect the entire ecosystem of IPL. I think the BCCI will have to build confidence in how they are cleaning the system and how such issues will not get repeated in the future. I think IPL is a great sports franchise created in India, so they should take steps to protect the brand so that it does not get affected. It all depends on what steps they take from now onwards to keep the brand value intact."
Mayank Shah, Dy. Marketing Manager, Parle Products said, "As far as the corruption and scandals are concerned that is not going to affect the IPL. That (corruption) has been there since the inception and even before that. Betting and matching fixing scandals have been there with cricket since a long time and that is not really going to take anything from the game. But the second thing which would probably affect the two teams would be less and the total number of teams playing would be 6, this would have implications on the interest levels. And both the teams banned for two years are good teams. This would affect brand interests too. So given that, to retain that kind of interest is going to be challenging for IPL."
Tuhin Mishra, MD of Baseline, a sports marketing company said, "Sponsors who have long term vision with IPL will not panic. Spectators and viewers want to get entertained. As long as that happens, nothing will happen to IPL in the coming years as its too big a brand/property globally."
P.M. Balakrishna, CEO, Allied Media too felt that the verdict will not have much of an impact on IPL as a property and brand associations with it. "From a ruling point of view it is only going to be welcomed by all stakeholders. From one perspective, the game is getting cleaned up and will be seen as progressive move. So I presume that there is no reason that IPL or BCCI can't get a bit creative and maybe introduce couple of other teams in the next season. They have a lot of time as IPL has just got over. To mind from 8 teams to 6 teams it will only have an implication from a broader perspective on the number of matches and total number of days," he said.
Dinesh Vyas, GM, OMD also felt that the verdict will not affect the image or the brand attraction for IPL and in fact could be an opportunity for IPL to have two new teams and with players switching franchise's it could open up opportunities. "I don't think it will affect the image of IPL. People have always considered IPL as an entertainment event, they have never taken it seriously. Prima facie that is what it looks like and the IPL will still continue," he said.
Ashish Bhasin, Chairman & CEO, South Asia, Dentsu Aegis Network said, "In my opinion IPL is a very large property for this to have an effect on brand attraction. But I think such an issue will dent it a bit. What will have a much larger effect on IPL is what will be the implications of the verdict? Whether the IPL will play with six teams or start with two new teams? This will have a bigger dent on the IPL." He further added now these recommendations are a panel and it still remains to be seen whether the Supreme Court will follow these recommendations. Then we will see an effect on IPL.
Shah also pointed out that even post the verdict the BCCI can choose to appeal to the Supreme Court on the plea of the large number of players and staff working for the team who were not involved in the scam. This could see the apex court reviewing the recommendations by the panel and punishing the owners and those players involved but allowing the two teams to participate in the IPL.

Controlled Substances
Only midwives who have completed the "Opioids and Benzodiazepines: Safe Prescribing for Midwives" course may independently prescribe controlled substances.
Oxazepam is a benzodiazepine, anti-anxiety agent and sedative which binds to benzodiazepine receptors on the postsynaptic neuron at several sites within the central nervous system.
Indications and Clinical Use:
Midwives may only prescribe, order or administer oxazepam on their own authority for
- therapeutic rest in prodromal labour;
- short-term management of excessive postpartum anxiety while the midwife is arranging for consultation with a physician for further diagnosis and ongoing treatment; or
- upon diagnosis of intrauterine fetal demise.
Oxazepam may be used for therapeutic rest during prodromal labour; it has a half-life of up to 8 hours, however use of analgesia may be more appropriate over oxazepam as a first choice. Oxazepam may be used during the early postpartum period, particularly where anxiety or insomnia due to anxiety or transient stress are factors and non-pharmacologic measures have been ineffective. Administration under any other circumstance must be on the order of a physician.
Hypersensitivity to benzodiazepines or to any component of the formulation. Oxazepam should not be taken in conjunction with alcohol or other sedating medications.
Benzodiazepines should not be used in the presence of the following medical conditions: glaucoma, liver or kidney impairment, hyperkinesias, hypoalbuminaemia, myasthenia gravis, or any type of organic brain disorder. Benzodiazepines should not be given where there is a history of substance use or dependency.
Benzodiazepines are not recommended in the first trimester of pregnancy because of the potential for congenital malformations. When these drugs are taken to treat anxiety disorders, information on the risks and alternate approaches to therapy should be offered.
Warnings and Precautions:
All practitioners caring for an individual taking a benzodiazepine should be aware that long-term use can result in dependency and withdrawal symptoms when the medication is discontinued. Prolonged doses of benzodiazepines during pregnancy and/or the postpartum period may cause physical dependence with resulting withdrawal symptoms in the neonate. Before prescribing, ordering or administering a benzodiazepine to a client with a depressive, chronic psychotic, phobic or obsessive behavioral disorder or potential suicidal tendencies, consultation with a physician is required.
While a benzodiazepine may be prescribed for postpartum psychosis, these medications enter breast milk and, if used during breastfeeding, midwives should watch for possible sedation, feeding difficulties and weight loss in the neonate. Hypoglycemia and respiratory problems in the neonate may occur following exposure late in pregnancy. While elimination of benzodiazepines in the neonate following in utero exposure can be slow, oxazepam is considered a short-acting benzodiazepine (less than or equal to 12 hours) and the least lipid-soluble, so levels in breast milk tend to be low. Thus, oxazepam is considered safer during lactation than other benzodiazepines, especially if its use is short-term or intermittent.
Benzodiazepines given near delivery could cause respiratory depression and hypoglycemia in neonates. Prolonged use in gestation may cause neonatal withdrawal.
Benzodiazepines have been associated with anterograde amnesia; may impair physical or mental abilities; may cause hypotension; may cause hyperactive or aggressive behavior.
Use with caution in the presence of hepatic impairment, renal impairment, respiratory disease, substance use, alcohol use, personality disorders or depression.
When taking this medication one should not operate machinery or drive a vehicle.
Human Data Suggest Risk in 1st and 3rd Trimesters
Although a number of studies have reported an association with various types of congenital defects, other studies with this class of drugs have not found such associations. Denial of exposure and the concurrent exposure to other toxic drugs and substances (e.g., alcohol and smoking) may be confounding factors. Continuous use during gestation or close to delivery might result in neonatal withdrawal or a dose-related syndrome similar to that observed with diazepam.
Category L 2 – Limited Data- Probably Compatible
Oxazepam is one of the preferred benzodiazepines in lactation due to its shorter half-life and lack of an active metabolite. About 1% of the dose is known to enter breastmilk. If this medication is used in lactation the lowest effective dose should be given for the shortest possible period of time. The neonate should also be monitored for signs of sedation such as not waking up to feed at regular intervals.
Adverse Reactions:
Benzodiazepines may cause drowsiness, blurred vision, dizziness and impaired concentration. Other potential side effects include lack of muscle coordination, nausea, constipation, visual disturbances, skin rash, and loss of bladder control. If breathing difficulties, fainting, rash or hypotension are experienced a physician should be contacted immediately.
Clinical judgement should be exercised as benzodiazepines cross the placental barrier. Should labour progress more rapidly than anticipated, Flumazenil, a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, may be required and should be readily available for administration. Immediately after administration physician consultation is required. (Please refer to the section on Flumazenil at the end of the benzodiazepine section).
Dosage and Administration:
Insomnia – 10-30 mg PO at bedtime
Anxiety – 10-30 mg PO TID-QID
In prodromal labour the dose may be repeated 8 or 12 hours following first dose if active labour is not yet established. No more than two consecutive doses should be given. In treating postpartum anxiety, the dose may be repeated every 8 to 12 hours in the postpartum period for no more than 3 days or a maximum of six doses. Once postpartum treatment is initiated physician consultation must be arranged.
Oxazepam may be prescribed in hospital or in the community. It does not require a controlled drugs and substances duplicate prescription pad. A prescription cannot exceed three days. No refills.
Onset of Action:
Peak of action is 2-4 hours
Adult – 8 hours
Neonate – unknown
Urine as metabolites

This document will help organisations to ensure that evidence (records) of business activities transacted through business systems are appropriately identified and managed. Specifically, it will assist organisations to: - understand processes and requirements for identifying and managing records in business systems; - develop requirements for functionality for records to be included in a design specification when building, upgrading or purchasing business system software; - evaluate the records management capability of proposed customised or commercial off-the-shelf business system software; and - review the functionality for records or assess compliance of existing business systems. It does not provide a complete specification but rather outlines a number of key records management requirements, with recommended levels of obligation, which can be used as a starting point for further development. As outlined in the document, organisations will still need to assess, amend and select their requirements based on their business, technical and jurisdictional environments and constraints. This Module only addresses records management requirements and does not include general system management. Design requirements such as usability, reporting, searching, system administration and performance are beyond the scope of this document. It also assumes a level of knowledge about developing design specifications, procurement and evaluation processes, therefore these related issues are not covered in any detail. Requirements for the long-term preservation of digital records are not explicitly covered within this document. However, the inclusion of requirements for export supports preservation by allowing the export of records to a system that is capable of long-term preservation activities, or for the ongoing migration of records into new systems. While the guidance presented in this Module should be applicable to records management in highly integrated software environments based on service-oriented architectures, such scenarios are not explicitly addressed. Similar principles and processes will apply in such environments, but additional analysis will be required to determine what processes and data constitute, across multiple systems, the required evidence or record of any particular transaction. Use of the term 'system' in this document refers to a computer or IT system. This is in contrast to the records management understanding of the term that encompasses the broader aspects of people, policies, procedures and practices. Organisations will need to consider these wider aspects, and to ensure that fundamental records management supporting tools such as disposition authorities,2 information security classifications and a records culture are in place, in order to ensure records from business systems can be appropriately managed.

How Smith Publicity Helps Authors Get Meaningful Media Coverage
Once you publish your book, the journey is not over. Whether you're a self-published author or traditionally published, you have to develop a strategic marketing plan to generate buzz about your book and get it in the hands of readers. There are hundreds of thousands of books published every year, so it's your job to make your book stand out from the others in your genre.
One of the most important and valuable book promotion tactics is connecting with the media. Media coverage helps you gain more exposure on a local, national, or even international scale, and establish yourself as a leader within your genre or industry. To get media coverage, you have to position your book in a unique and interesting way. Rather than simply promoting your book, you need to construct media pitches that grab the attention of journalists and set your book apart from the countless others.
At Smith Publicity, we have helped thousands of self-published and traditionally published authors from around the world and across all genres get meaningful exposure through radio and TV interviews, newspaper and magazine articles and reviews, and online coverage. We have the experience, expertise and resources to take your book to the next level.
To give you an idea of how we have helped other authors achieve success through our innovative book marketing strategies, take a look the following book marketing case studies:
Dr. Susan Biali, Live a Life You Love: 7 Steps to a Healthier, Happier, More Passionate You
Live a Life You Love: 7 Steps to a Healthier, Happier, More Passionate You discusses a wide array of topics pertaining to personal wellness, including understanding your body language and food and managing relationships and stress. Dr. Biali combines these topics into an exclusive 7-step program for improving your life. To promote her book, we leveraged her exceptional credentials and experience and developed a media outreach strategy designed to enhance her profile and reputation as a leader in the personal wellness industry. Due to the nature of her book, we used interesting "How To" articles and ideas for broadcast shows.
Typically, media outlets respond well to pitches that include lists and numbered tips because they provide ready-made topics and stories, and this worked very well for Dr. Biali. She was featured in a variety of big name news outlets, including Fox TV's Fox and Friends and The Toronto Globe and Mail. She was also featured in more than 25 local and national radio and television interviews.
Maureen Dutton, Silent Night
The heart-wrenching thriller Silent Night was Dutton's second self-published book. The story contains themes of duplicity, murder and revenge and shows how quickly greed can cause a life to spiral out of control. With the plethora of novels in the market, fiction can be particularly difficult to promote. In fact, many publicity agencies won't accept novelists as clients.
Smith Publicity, on the other hand, has experienced much success promoting novels. We have perfected fictional promotion techniques, which is essentially getting real publicity for make-believe books. We do this by tying our pitches to real-life experiences and using out-of-the-box media outreach strategies. Our outreach efforts positioned Dutton's novel in very unique and different ways – setting it apart from other thriller novels. Our efforts proved successful, as she received media interest from many major outlets, including UPBEAT Entertainment News Syndicate, NPR, Southern California Public Radio, SellingBooks.com, and American Chronicle.
Nic Read, Selling to the C-Suite (McGraw-Hill)
Selling to the C-Suite explores how executives become involved in the corporate buying cycle and how they can become trusted advisors at that level. While Nic wanted book sales, he also wanted what many business writers want – to be positioned as an expert within their field. Specifically, Nic wanted to receive media coverage to boost the marketing of his consulting services and to enhance his profile as a public speaker.
To accomplish these goals, our outreach efforts focused on national business media outlets and vertical trade publications. We pitched bylined articles written by Nic, which resulted in great print exposure. We also utilized his media skills and placed him on national business TV shows. He was featured in a number of large media outlets, including Forbes, CNBC, MSNBC, USA Today, The Small Business Advocate, Selling Power, Leadership Excellence, Investor's Business Daily, and UK Business News. He was also on the cover of Brilliant Results.

How to Take Care of a Bonsai Plant
The bonsai tree is a miniature, woody tree that comes in many variations and hybrids. The bonsai is, in fact, a normal tree that is kept in small form through trimming and pruning. Though many variations and species of the bonsai exist, the care and cultivation of the various types of bonsai are similar.
Caring for Your Bonsai
- Provide your bonsai tree with direct sunlight.
- It is general practice to leave the wires in place for six months, at which time the tree will take to its new shape.
- Transplant your bonsai tree every three years.
Provide your bonsai tree with direct sunlight. Most bonsai variations require at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day. This sunlight can be indoors or outdoors. However, some bonsai variations require shade and shelter, such as the Japanese Maple Bonsai and the Sago Palm Bonsai. Pay close attention to your variation's requirements.
Water your bonsai regularly and at the same time each day. Bonsai trees require timely watering to maintain soil moisture. These trees generally require watering every day or every other day. However, the amount and frequency of watering should be determined by observing the specific tree. The bonsai's pot or planting area should be well-irrigated, as excessive water can have adverse effects on the bonsai tree.
Fertilize your bonsai sparingly. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers and choose water-soluble options that feed and fertilize. Bonsai trees that are ill or have very dry soil should not be fertilized. Water your ill and dry bonsai and nurse it back to health first. Once the plant shows signs of improved health, fertilize the tree in small amounts. Avoid placing the fertilizer directly onto the tree's trunk, as it could suffer fertilizer burn.
Prune your bonsai regularly to shape the tree and keep it miniature. The bonsai's limbs, as well as its roots are trimmed to maintain its miniature size. Avoid trimming large amounts of new growth simultaneously as this could stunt the tree's overall growth. Shape your tree by wiring the branches into the direction that you wish it to grow. It is general practice to leave the wires in place for six months, at which time the tree will take to its new shape.
Transplant your bonsai tree every three years. The repotting process provides bonsais with fresh, fertile soil and more space for its roots. Though the bonsai is a miniature tree, the roots of the bonsai require ever increasing space to maintain the tree's health. This is especially important with blooming bonsais. Bonsai roots are susceptible to drying. Do not water or fertilize your bonsai immediately after repotting.

The last option for getting rid of sweaty palms is a surgical procedure called ETS. When you hear the word surgery, lots of things come to mind such as being expensive, invasive and risks of side effects. We said earlier that having sweaty hands is not as serious as other health conditions so opting for surgery should only be considered when all home remedies have failed you. Also, in this day and age, having surgery when there are alternatives that are safer, more economical and can produce the same or even better results is not practical.
Now that you know how to stop sweaty hands and the different treatment methods for it, it's up to you to decide how to proceed. Sweaty palms is a problem that you don't have to experience given the many treatments available for it, all you have to do is take action!

This research addresses the question: What is the role of the school as a First Nation community works to reconcile participation in economic development with commitment to traditional language and culture? The Naskapi nation of what is now called northern Quebec lives within the tensions and contradictions of this question. They have chosen to take on the complex demands of what it means to maximize benefits and minimize detriments of open pit mining in close proximity to their community whose traditional lifestyle and values arise from their relationship to the land where the mines are located. The Naskapis, whose territory extends across a wide expanse of Northern Quebec, have invested in New Millennium Iron Corporation. At the same time, many community members depend on caribou hunting, goose hunting, fishing and other natural resources or what they might call gifts from the land and want their children to do the same. Investment in the mine supplements their traditional livelihood.
In 2007, the Canadian Business Ethics Research Network conducted an extensive Knowledge Needs Assessment in Kawawachikamach, the Naskapis' home community. The focus of the study was an enumeration of their perceived needs in relation to investment in one of the mines re-opening in the area. Clearly expressed concerns include increasing youth involvement in community affairs, the protection of language and culture, the potential for youth to become involved at all levels of employment in the mine and ultimately, the creation of a sustainable community.
The current research focuses on the school where a curriculum project that addresses these needs is in development. Using Indigenous methodologies, critical ethnographic approaches and video ethnography, the research will involve documentation, analysis and critique of the project as a way to address the identified community needs. Interviews with community leaders, teachers and students, and other forms of documentation including film, observations and photography will be the specific approaches taken.
The curriculum itself will continue to be designed by teachers in consultation with community members. It is intended to address the traditional understandings of respect for the land, language and culture within the tensions that lie with major resource development. Research methods will also include circle work and story- telling with those directly involved and those implicitly affected by the development. Both contemporary and historical contextualization will be integral to the work. Bourdieu's notion of habitus and Ermine's Aboriginal epistemology are anticipated to be useful in regards to a deeper analysis of the findings.
The major outcome of this research, which will include print and photographic resources for the school and a professional quality HD video for wider distribution, will be a model for other First Nation and northern community schools incorporating a critical approach as they work to find a balance between resource extraction and community health. The results have the potential to inform Ontario's Ring of Fire, British Columbia's Tsilhqot'in Nation and a range of others who are working to reconcile the impacts of mining with maintenance of traditional cultural ways down the generations.

Sean Conway: How hard is it to swim the length of Britain?
Sean Conway this week finished his four-and-a-half month long swim from Land's End to John O'Groats - via Ireland. But what makes it such a tough challenge?
He was the first: People have swum from Cuba to the US, across the Bering Strait, and between New Zealand's north and south island. But no-one had swum from Land's End to John O'Groats before. "So I had no-one to ask for advice," says Conway.
The physical toll: He was not a serious swimmer before the trip. His technique unravelled as tiredness set in. "The first hour of the day would be great, my technique would be good. After an hour and a half I'd start dropping the shoulders and the elbows, then it's a downhill spiral, feeling weak and cold." He was swimming about 2,500 strokes an hour. Over the course of the whole trip he swam about three million strokes. The neck and shoulders get chafing. He lost a lot of weight. He was nearly 11 stone (70 kg) when he set off and ended up under 10 (63.5 kg) . "I didn't have enough body fat. I was burning more calories than I could eat," he says.
Icy water: The cold was always there. "I could barely talk when I got out," he says. Not only was it uncomfortable, it sapped the strength. And there was no shower on the boat where he could warm up. The water averaged 14 or 15C for most of the swim. There were two extra cold "patches" - the swim across from Northern Ireland and the waters around Skye were both 12 Celsius, he says. After the first two weeks, he found his body adjusting to the cold. But unfortunately this was offset by his weight loss. His wetsuit became baggier, meaning it let more water in and allowed his body heat to escape. His jaw was so cold in the water that feeds had to be via pureed food. "Sean had to control his core body temperature within fine limits to swim, digest food and survive," says Mark Kleanthous, who coached Conway before the swim. "Water is 25 times more conductive than air, resulting in a great loss of body temperature. When muscle temperature drops by just one degree performance dips by as much as 3% making it harder to swim."
The time: Swimming 10 miles a day is not an "enormous" amount, says Andrew Lane, professor of sports psychology at the University of Wolverhampton. But to do this for four-and-a-half months is a huge challenge. When Conway set off on 30 June, he expected the swim to take two months. A nice summer adventure. In the end it took more than twice that. It would have been easy to think after two months that he'd done his bit, says Lane. He could have found plausible excuses and felt satisfied with his efforts. But that's not how endurance athletes can think. "You have to be born a little different maybe," says Martin Strel, the Slovenian long distance swimmer who in 2001 swam for 84 hours non-stop along the Danube - a world record. "Don't change your mind. You have to say this before the start. You don't change the schedule halfway," Strel says. By the end Conway was worried the weather would prevent them completing it before Christmas. The support crew had already given up far more time than planned. In desperate moments he thought about letting the crew go home and pressing on without the boat. It wasn't realistic, he admits. Luckily the weather cleared enough for them to be able to finish.
Wildlife: He swam through shoals of jelly fish. After being stung on the face, he grew a beard to protect himself. Long distance swimmers have to overcome fears of "what lurks in the deep", says Lane.
Salt water: By the end he was extremely sensitive to swallowing sea water. "My gag reflex from salt water would make me throw up. In the last three weeks just swallowing half a teaspoon full would make me vomit."
The tide: The sea's pull went north to south and vice versa in roughly six-hour periods, meaning he had to try and cover as much distance as possible when the tide was with him. And then sit it out when it was against him. "So I had six hours to do my best."
Logistics: He slept on a 55-year-old wooden support boat. "The biggest dreams I had were about the boat sinking." It took four-six hours to traverse between the start and end of each day's swim and a suitable mooring. Finding places to anchor was far more difficult than anticipated, he says.
The loneliness: Head down in the water for hours on end, with only darkness below, alone with one's thoughts is not easy. Fewer people have successfully swum the English Channel than climbed Everest, says Kleanthous. The relatively high failure rate is partly due to the mental discipline required. Conway says he is a stubborn character. He broke the day up into 90 minute segments rather than think about how far was left. A crucial factor was the "ability to switch off", he says. "You stop thinking about negative stuff and have fun." Music helped. There was one dubstep song by Australian band Knife Party that helped. "I shouldn't say which one as the lyrics are not very nice."

Good Morning, Loves!
I was so, so excited to check my email and all of my social media channels and learn about the Obesity Action Coalition's latest campaign: The 'Ban the F Word" movement has arrived!
Anyone who went to high school with me can tell you that I adamantly refused to use or acknowledge the word "fat." I thought that it was such a harsh, degrading word….one that can often cause more harm than being "the f word" can in the first place!
I am honored to have been selected to receive a Weigh in for Healthy Change scholarship to attend this years OAC "Your Weight Matters" convention in San Antonio, TX. Thanks to Eisai Pharmaceuticals, I am able to attend Advocacy Training to be a better, more informed and effective proponent in the fight for better treatment and options for those struggling with Obesity. This latest campaign is a huge leap for changing the everyday misconceptions that excess weight defines people moreso than their character and actions.
Check out the press release:
Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) Launches "Ban the f word" movement to end fat-shaming
Tampa, Fla. – The OAC has launched a national movement – "Ban the F Word" – aimed at putting an end to fat-shaming. The movement is anchored by an online petition that individuals are encouraged to sign, pledging their support to raise awareness of fat-shaming and put an end to it.
"Weight bias has long been accepted in various areas of life such as healthcare, entertainment and more. With the rise of social media, a new trend has started in the way of fat-shaming. The goal of the OAC's campaign is to raise awareness of fat-shaming and encourage the public to support our movement to end it," said Ted Kyle, RPh, MBA, OAC Chairman.
With a membership of 50,000 individuals, the OAC is no stranger to addressing weight bias. Developed in 2005, the OAC has taken on high profile weight bias issues such as, fat-shaming apps, a Tennessee insurer's IQ testing requirement for bariatric surgery, and ESPN's Britt McHenry's stigmatizing comments regarding body weight.
"The word 'fat' is most appropriately used as a noun. The fact that today we use it as an adjective and shame people dealing with the disease of obesity is highly unacceptable. As Chair of the Weight Bias Committee, I know individuals, especially children, are often targeted and shamed for their weight. Ban the F Word will raise awareness of this alarming trend and hopefully put a stop to its pervasiveness," said Melinda J. Watman, BSN, MSN, CNM, MBA.
In April 2015, Ms. Watman appeared on CBS' The Insider where she discussed how obesity is one of the last acceptable forms of public humiliation.
"Fat-shaming doesn't discriminate based on race, gender or socioeconomic status. We encourage all Americans to stand with us and end fat-shaming," said Joe Nadglowski, OAC President and CEO.
To learn more about the Ban the F Word movement and sign the petition, visit www.BantheFWord.com.
About the OAC:
The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC), a nearly 50,000 member-strong National non-profit organization, is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals affected by the disease of obesity through education, advocacy and support.
I urge you to sign the petition and share on your social media outlets! Let's BE the change, and take a stand to ban the "f" word!

PICKENS COUNTY-Two teams from Clemson Elementary, the "Electric Lemons" and team "JDW" took home highest honors at the Society of Automotive Engineers' International JetToy competition in Detroit, Michigan last week.
Led by their teacher Meredith Cross, the fifth graders were named Grand Champions at the event. The teams included; Jakob Ables, Will Purkerson, Jacob Zambrano, Dylan Hall, Jonathan Dong, and Stone Ke.
"We are just thrilled to death for them," said Clemson Elementary Principal Ken Weichel. "This is the first year they've done it. Meredith Cross took that leap of faith and went into this JetToy competition, just like all of us, a little bit blind. Once success led to another and led to another."
The students competed at school, region, and national levels, and Weichel says their accomplishments show true potential.
"For us, it's an affirmation of what our children can do," said Weichel. "It shows what they can do when they apply themselves."
The competition requires students to create, design, and engineer cars that are powered by balloons. The cars are judged on speed, accuracy, and distance among other things.
"They went to Detroit, and they were not allowed to bring the cars they competed with before," said Weichel. "They started from scratch, and I believe there were about 120 teams with kids from as far away as New Delhi, India. Everyone had the same materials, and our kids outperformed everybody."
The teams were met with a warm greeting upon their arrival at Clemson. "They are still walking on air," said Weichel. "We had a parade for them when they got back on Friday. We put the whole school out on the soccer field and we had the kids delivered by the Clemson Police. The sirens were running, and blue lights were flashing. Everyone was cheering for them, and we were just proud of them that they could do something like this on their first try."
Weichel says this is the first time a team has taken home top honors outside the state of Michigan.
"It is a compliment to the kids and a compliment to their teacher," said Weichel.
"It was fun to see and fun to watch. You could watch their cars get better with each trial run and each test."
Thanks to some generous sponsors, these students were able to bring Grand Champion honors back to Pickens County, and Weichel says this is a program that will definitely continue in the future.
"Science has changed," said Weichel. "It's all technology, engineering, problem solving, and critical thinking. That's what these two three-man teams excelled at."

Athletic Drug and Alcohol Testing
In June 1995, the Supreme Court ruled in support of interscholastic student athlete drug testing. Since then, a still-growing number of schools have decided to incorporate mandatory, reasonable suspicion, and voluntary drug testing programs to discourage their athletes from engaging in risky behavior.
Certified Laboratory is a Must
It's easy to see the value in a consistent athletic drug and alcohol testing program. Not only can it reduce the risk of the development of addiction, but it can also help keep a handle on the instances of steroid use for athletes looking to cheat the system on the field. However, it's required that schools use a certified laboratory to retrieve accurate results you can count on.
Here at Test Smartly Labs, we offer the proper chain-of-custody that will hold up in the legal system. Just some of the substances we can test for include:
- Steroids
- Alcohol
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- Heroin
- Amphetamines
- Barbiturates
- Nicotine
A reliable athletic drug testing program can significantly reduce both the risk of use and the instances of peer pressure that all too often instigate lifelong problems. Call today to see how we can apply our resources to help keep your school drug-free.
