For some people, things come so natural. However, for other people like myself "Preparation makes the load a little easier to carry." And that's quite alright. No one is perfect and meant to know things immediately. Preparation doesn't make perfect, but it gives you a foundation.
Take athletes and music artists for example, they have to continuously prepare for competitions and performances. Some of them participate in vocal lessons, cyphers, or training camps to help them prepare their voices, body, and skills.

We had some more comments in, so here's a round-up;
Tony Tarquini, director of insurance, EMEA at Pegasystems comments:
"Banning the raising of prices for renewing policyholders could provide significant opportunity for new entrants in the market to build market share at a loss through comparison websites at the expense of established insurance companies. Whether that is a good or a bad thing in the long term for the consumer, we will have to wait and see.
Clearly the simplest way for an organisation to win new business is to reduce the cover down to the absolute statutory minimum. This may not be in the best interests of the consumer either as they may believe they are buying much more comprehensive cover than their policy actually provides, irrespective of what they need or even want. It is important that people understand the value and cover of the policy as much as the price. However, as the majority of personal lines motor and home policies are bought through comparison websites, which almost exclusively compare on price alone, it is very difficult for someone without detailed insurance knowledge to assess whether what they are buying is suitable for their needs.
"Insurers need to build long term, sustainable relationships with their policyholders to build brand loyalty which obviates the need for customers to change insurer every year. AI, analytics and decisioning technology is available today that helps insurers deliver the 'next best conversation' with their policyholders for every interaction. This helps insurers better understand their customers' needs so they can be as helpful as possible, boosting satisfaction and therefore loyalty. If used intelligently and fairly, this should ensure consumers get the very best cover and customer experience possible, as well as price."
The final landscape for personal lines pricing following the FCA's GI pricing practices review has become evident today with the publication of the consultation feedback and the final rules. Whilst many of the proposed rules are unchanged from those published in September 2020, some aspects of the rules have been clarified whilst others have been left to firms' discretion
Graham Wright, UK P&C Pricing Product Claims and Underwriting Lead at Willis Towers Watson, comments: "The clarity of particular elements of the rules including around the use of incentives and the changes to the closed book rules will likely be welcomed by many in the market, whilst other elements will no doubt fuel further debate around the best actions for insurers and intermediaries to take now in order to meet the FCA's requirements."
Amongst those areas on which the industry had sought clarity during the consultation, one key area was the potential existence of an implicit margin remedy. This will merit careful consideration as the rules now clarify:
"When comparing a firm's new business price with the renewal price for individual customers, we would not expect to see that the longer a customer's tenure is, the greater the difference between: (1) in the case of an insurer, the risk price and the net-rated price or gross price; or (2) in the case of an intermediary, the net-rated price and the gross price."
This naturally creates some challenges for insurers and intermediaries depending on their current approach to pricing.
Whilst there have been further rules added on governing the use of different data items between new business and renewals, there undoubtedly remains an element of uncertainty with firms left to make judgements around how to apply certain rating factors in their pricing. Perhaps most notably – appearing to represent a considerable change from the original draft – the new rules require that:
"A firm must include in its determination of a customer's equivalent new business price any risk information acquired during the term of the customer's current policy that has the effect of either increasing or decreasing the equivalent new business price."
As well as outlining the final rules for the pricing remedy, reporting requirements, auto renewal changes and fair value, the FCA has clarified the implementation timeframes with the pricing remedy coming into force from 1 January 2022. Our judgement is that for many players in the market, this timeframe remains a tough ask and will no doubt cause some players significant challenges in the weeks ahead. Stephen Jones, UK P&C Consulting Lead at Willis Towers Watson, added: "Whilst in 18 months' time the industry will have begun to stabilise in the new world, there is no doubt that the coming months will represent one of the most turbulent times for the personal lines industry".
Commenting on the FCA's final rules on the home and motor insurance market, Kevin Pratt, personal finance expert at Forbes Advisor UK, said:
"The way insurance companies set their prices has been a toxic issue for years. Charging new customers less than ones who are up for renewal is a crude marketing tactic designed to get more people onto the books. It shamefacedly exploits existing customers, who effectively subsidise the prices offered to new ones.
"What makes it worse is that it cynically plays on the loyalty that people often feel towards their insurance companies, and it weaponises the inertia that many others feel when it comes to finding an alternative at renewal time.
"It remains to be seen what the full impact of the FCA rule change will be. Will we simply see prices rise for new customers, as even the FCA suggests will happen? How long will it take for an overall net benefit for insurance buyers to wash through the system?
"The best tactic for anyone who's buying insurance is still the same as it always was – shop around at renewal, don't take your insurer's renewal offer as any kind of indicator as to what a fair price might be, and certainly don't feel any sense of loyalty to your current provider."
Krystian Zajac, CEO and co-founder of challenger insurance brand Hiro, offers this comment;
"The end of unfair price walking practices is great news for consumers, and the FCA deserves credit for bearing its teeth. This is a victory in one battle, but the wider war on unfair insurance practices goes on. Insurers still systematically fail to price premiums in a personalised way and treat policyholders as individuals. For example, someone may have invested thousands of pounds in smart tech to make their home safer, but insurers are unable, or unwilling, to reflect this in their premium. Things like smart leak detectors, video doorbells, smart lighting, smoke alarms, cameras or even smart speakers are proven to prevent bad things from happening in the first instance. It's about time insurers found a way to reward consumers for making their homes smarter and safer."
Responding to the FCA's final General Insurance Pricing Practices policy statement Consumer Intelligence PR & Communications Manager Catherine Carey said:
"This is a shot in the arm for innovation and presses a giant reset button on the relationship between price and value, it will change the relationship between brands and consumers."
"We expect to see insurers changing their models and new firms entering the market for the first time as loss-making year one pricing phases out. If you look at these new rules, and specifically the introduction of fair value, it's the most exciting time for the development of the general insurance market for decades."
"The customer is at the heart of these changes. The recurring theme throughout the 200 pages of rules is a drive to improve customer outcomes and fairness. For a firm to truly understand whether they are delivering long-term fair value, they need to first understand what fair value means to their customer base. This understanding will be pivotal in the success of any innovation and will enable a brand to not only ensure compliance but translate it into a sustainable and profitable customer relationship."
"Today's report demonstrates that the FCA has listened to the industry. Amends have been made to the rules accordingly – but not to give firms an easier ride. The regulator's amends are absolutely focused on avoiding the creation of unintended consequences and harm to consumers. Undoubtedly the next few years are going to be hard for the industry, but these changes are necessary if consumer trust is to be rebuilt."

Biden, Sanders Vow to Fight Coronavirus in First Two-Man Debate
Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders sparred over how they would respond to the coronavirus in their first one-on-one debate, arguing about whether Medicare for All is the right solution to fight the health crisis as it explodes across the United States.
"We are the only major country on Earth not to guarantee healthcare to all people," Sanders said, using the moment to make a sharp point about his signature policy proposal. He said all Americans should be able to get treatment when they are sick regardless of their income.
Biden pushed back against the idea of Medicare for All, saying Italy has a similar system and it has not stopped the crisis there.
"You have a single payer system in Italy," he said. "It doesn't work there. It has nothing to do with Medicare for All. That would not solve the problem at all."
Italy, with the oldest population in Europe, now has 1,809 deaths, an increase of 368 from Saturday, among more than 24,000 cases.
The candidates agreed that working people who lose their jobs because of shutdowns during the crisis should get financial support from the federal government.
Biden said he believes there will need to be a "major, major, major bailout" in which "we do not reward corporations, we reward individuals who in fact are really put to the test."
They disagreed on what economic reforms should come in response to the pandemic and debated the effectiveness of the 2008 economic bailout, which Biden supported and Sanders did not.
"We need to stabilize the economy, but we can't repeat what we did in 2008," Sanders said. "Joe voted for that. I voted against it because we have got to do more than save the banks or the oil companies. Our job right now is to tell every working person in this country, no matter what your income is, you are not going to suffer as a result of this crisis over which you had no control."
Biden defended his support of the bailout, which he said saved the economy, avoided a depression and helped the poor.
"Had those banks gone under, all those people would be in deep trouble. deep, deep trouble." Biden said. "All those little folks, we would have gone out of business. They would find themselves in position where they would lose everything they had in that bank. Whether it was $10 or $300 or a savings account. This was about saving an economy, and it did save the economy."
Sunday's debate, the first one-on-one debate between the two remaining contenders, was low-key compared to the group squabbles seen when as many as a dozen candidates crowded the stage in earlier settings. But the tone was also somber as the coronavirus crisis gripped America, with the Centers for Disease Control announcing that people should not gather in groups of more than 50.
Still, primaries will go ahead as planned on Tuesday in Illinois, Ohio, Arizona and Florida. Biden has a 21.5 percentage point lead nationally in the RealClearPolitics polling average and a nearly insurmountable lead in delegates to the nominating convention.
But Sanders knows that staying in the race is one way to keep pushing his progressive agenda and potentially move the party to the left. It may be working. Earlier Sunday, Biden adopted a version of Sanders's plan for tuition-free public college.
On the virus, Biden urged the Trump administration to ramp up testing and quickly build temporary hospitals.
"This is bigger than any one of this. This calls for a national rallying," Biden said.
Sanders agreed about the need for additional testing and hospital beds but also pointed to problems coming straight from President Donald Trump.
"The first thing we've got to do, whether or not I'm president, to shut this president up right now because he is undermining the doctors and the scientists who are trying to help the American people," Sanders said. "It is unacceptable for him to be blabbering with unfactual information which is confusing the general public."
A series of primaries starting in February winnowed a historically large and diverse field down to two viable candidates, both white men in their 70s. Hawaii Represenative Tulsi Gabbard is also running, but has won only two of the 1,991 delegates needed to secure the nomination.
Initially planned for a traditional format in front of a large studio audience in Phoenix, Arizona, the debate was moved to the CNN studio in Washington.
Officials in all four of Tuesday's primary states are counting on absentee and early voting to keep turnout up in the first round of balloting since people began avoiding public places out of fear of the virus. Louisiana, Georgia and Wyoming have delayed their contests.
Last week, Biden won four of the of the six primaries, coming out on top in Missouri, Mississippi, Idaho and the biggest prize of Michigan. Those votes were just a week after Super Tuesday, when he surged to front-runner status with sweeping support from African-American voters around the country.

Years after first hearing about it, I've finally visited Ground Control.
GC is karaoke, alternate rock, happens every Monday night at a venue in Los Angeles. My wife has been there a few times, but usually she's gone when I was on call, and I was uncomfortable being in a loud venue, fearing that I might miss a page.
'Course, I was on call last night.
However, this time Dungeonmaster was returning the many favors that GC has given the show in the past. Heck, they even gave monetary support at least once. So, turnabout is fair play. A bunch of regulars and cast/crew all showed up to the bar.
Since I was on call, I didn't put in a song request. However, I did see thefreak, themodeinliz and axelicious, among others, belt out songs.
Honestly, if it weren't on Monday night, or if it weren't forty miles from our house, I could see us hanging there occasionally. But it's far, and it's a work night, and I'm getting older...
But maybe YOU should go!

How Working Out Will Actually Save You Time

Look I get it:
If you're focused on improving your career or building your business.
Using your time and energy to exercise sounds like a complete waste.
It's pretty simple.
The less time you're working = the less chance you'll make progress.
I used to think the same exact thing as my business grew.
So I removed exercise from my schedule in favor of work.
As my waistline began to expand my energy levels soon vanished.
My confidence disappeared along with any chance of staying focused for more than a few hours at a time.
I soon realized that 99% of the most successful people on the planet like Mark Cuban and Grant Cardone still MAKE the time to exercise despite being super busy.
If they have the time, then I definitely don't have an excuse.
Truth is, you won't be able to calculate an ROI on your 30 minutes of time on the treadmill.
But over time, the mental and physical benefits of exercise are absolutely essential for you to have success in both business and in life.
Otherwise, why would those highly successful people even bother?
And in the comments…
I'd like to know how you're going to start MAKING the time to exercise today.

A little over a week ago, The Bad Batch got a new set of character posters. Keeping in line with the film's cool trailers, the posters are colorful and full of flair, evoking some retro vibes while still feeling very modern and fresh. Just from these portraits, you can get a small taste of the insanity director Ana Lily Amirpour has concocted, and trust me, you won't be disappointed.
The Bad Batch hits June 23rd, below is also a trailer with a cameo of our review.

CNN anchor Brian Stelter claimed that "white identity politics" was fueling Fox News personalities' criticisms of President Joe Biden's imminent Supreme Court nomination.
Stelter said during Sunday's broadcast of "Reliable Sources" that Fox News — along with other conservative radio and television outlets — was spoiling for a "fight" over whoever Biden might nominate, suggesting that the network's intent was to sow division in an effort to drive ratings.
CNN's @brianstelter: Fox News is attacking Biden's racial/gender criteria for his SCOTUS pick because of "white identity politics" pic.twitter.com/4r9276WjMp
— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) January 30, 2022
Stelter began by noting that a number of Republicans had suggested that President Biden — in his efforts to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer — might not face the kind of opposition former President Donald Trump faced with his nominations, mainly because replacing Stephens with another liberal justice would do little to change the ideological balance of the court.
He then argued that some in media — particularly those on the right — actually preferred a battle.
"Let's be honest, Fox wants a fight. Rightwing radio and TV wants a fight," Stelter said. "They need a fight over the Supreme Court. They are already starting a fight that's rooted in white identity politics. All of Fox's prime time shows are outraged that Biden has committed to nominating a justice who is black and female."
Stelter showed clips of Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham — who said that Biden's promise to nominate a black female to the exclusion of all other demographics was in itself divisive, not to mention racist and sexist. Stelter then claimed that the Fox News hosts were the problem, and that their comments were intentionally fueling a state of "permanent political warfare."
Stephen Miller pushed back on Stelter's claims in a tweet, saying, "Joe Biden has not made this pick yet. Joe Biden has eliminated any consideration of any judge of Asian or Hispanic ethnicity (among others!). The only person who made this about identity politics is Joe Biden."
"Does it matter to @brianstelter that 76% of Americans just told a leading pollster they oppose limiting Supreme Court hires to 6% of the population (based on immutable characteristics)?" Zaid Jilani added, referencing an ABC/IPSOS poll that said a commanding majority of Americans believed Biden should make his Supreme Court choice by considering all possible nominees rather than adhering to his campaign promise for the sake of doing so. "Why is everything always about Fox News? Why not report these things accurately?"
National Review Editor Rich Lowry added, "The country has gotten to a truly bizarre place when it's 'white identity politics' to maintain that Supreme Court picks should be made on the merits."
"The View" cohost Ana Navarro weighed in on Biden's promise — and critics who accused the president of engaging in "identity politics" — earlier in the week. "All politics is 'identity politics,'" she said, arguing that everyone — regardless of race, gender or creed — wanted to vote for someone with whom they identified in some way.
"Why is putting a black woman 'identity politics,' but putting a conservative, who you agree with ideologically, not 'identity politics'?" she asked, adding that it was "hypocritical" for people to suggest that race and gender were the only factors that influence "identity politics."

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to conduct prescribed burns on one or more locations within the National Key Deer Refuge on Big Pine Key next week, October 28 – November 1, when and if weather conditions permit.
Prescribed burns in the Florida Keys Refuges are implemented by a highly qualified and trained staff of interagency professional fire specialists. The primary reasons for conducting these burns are to remove the over-accumulation of vegetation acting as fire fuel along our urban-wildland interface to protect our community private property and residents, and for ecological purposes aimed at emulating natural fire in the pine rockland habitat.
This activity creates a defensible space between refuge lands and private property to prevent or reduce the threat of wildfires. Prescribed burns reduce excessive natural fire fuel build-up, thereby reducing thechance of unwanted severe wildfires. Restoration and maintenance of the fire-dependent pine rockland habitat is essential for a healthy ecosystem.
Prescribed burns are important for the continued survival of local species such as the federally endangered Key deer, the Bartram's hairstreak butterfly and the butterfly's host plant, pineland croton, which has evolved to be dependent upon fire. Mechanized methods have also been used to strengthen fire breaks, as well as to mimic fire and restore pineland croton habitat in areas that are too overgrown or too close to private property to safely conduct prescribed fire activities.
Community updates, up to and including when actual prescribed burn dates are proposed and when a burn actually occurs, will be announced on our Facebook page and via roadside advisory signs.
Visitors and residents can find maps of proposed prescribed burn units at our website http://www.fws.gov/nationalkeydeer/.
For more information, please contact Andrew Townsend at 305-395-1573 or Greg Suszek at 239-877-9545 and follow Refuge updates on our website and Facebook page:
The National Wildlife Refuge System protects wildlife and wildlife habitat on more than 150 million acres of land and water from the Caribbean to the Pacific, Maine to Alaska. Refuges also improve human health, provide outdoor recreation, and support local economies. Visit our home page at http://www.fws.gov/refuges/.
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.

Professor Bob Beans to hold grand opening Monday
This development news is provided by Developing Lafayette through a partnership with The Daily Advertiser.
The highly anticipated opening of Professor Bob Beans Coffee Bar & Ice Cream Lab is happening tomorrow, Monday, August 8th, 2016 in the Ambassador Town Center aka Costco development on Ambassdor & Kaliste Saloom.
This place is super cool, especially for children of all ages. Bob Beans is a locally-created concept developed by the Bobbs family who own the local Sub Zero franchise.
I checked the place out Friday during their soft opening, and I was pretty impressed. I had a cappuccino and an ice cream with a syringe of injectable flavoring and a vial of flavor poppers (there is a better name for it, but that's what I am going with).
The ice cream creation process uses a similar nitrogen freezing process that Sub Zero uses, but it's different, trust me.
The coffee and be had in many different forms ranging from traditional drip, espresso, nitrogen infused, and mixed alcohol and coffee...yeah, that's was my reaction too. Talk about trying to take a nap, but you can't.
Be sure to check them out this week. The picture below of the product ranges at about $10 bucks for all of the fixings, but in many cases will be less then $10.
See their Facebook page facebook.com/Professorbobbeans/

The words you use to describe your service, product, brand or business form the foundation of all your marketing. This is why copywriting is important for every business.
Creative writing is an art form. It takes great skill to choose words, which when put together, can inspire opinions or persuade people to do something.
Just like the application of social media in marketing, copywriting is subtle but highly effective.
Three reasons why copywriting is important?
Most websites receive tens, hundreds or thousands of visitors every day. This is a huge number of potential customers. Each one will judge your business on the copy that is present on your website.
Good grammar, excellent spelling and great content is a must. Below are factors that make up good copywriting and highlight why it is important.
Good spelling and grammar
Spelling and grammar are very important. Studies have found bad spelling and grammar on websites or within marketing materials severely impact perception. Some participants even went as far as saying they "wouldn't trust" a company that used incorrect grammar and bad spelling.
"A new study has revealed that 59% of Britons would not use a company that had obvious grammatical or spelling mistakes on its website or marketing material" Real Business Website
Interesting to read
You are competing with every bit of media that may take the attention of your target market. As a result, your copy must be interesting.
The language you use, sentence structures and even the overall copy layout are important. Content has to be relevant to the target audience and stimulating to read.
In the modern digital age just holding someone's attention for 30 seconds is difficult. Getting them to read your website page, which may take over three minutes is a challenge. One that can only be overcome with interesting and well-written content.
Accessible to a wide skill range
Your website and especially the copy within it has to be accessible to a wide range of people. This is to say it needs to be understood by the majority. To do this you require a skilled copywriter that does not make the mistake of over embellishment of words and language.
"A 2011 government survey of adult literacy skills found that 14.9% (or 1 in 7) of adults in England have literacy levels at or below Entry Level 3, which is equivalent to the literacy skills expected of a nine to 11-year-old." National Literacy Trust Website
Quick question.
Are you reading this page or just skimming?
It does not matter as the copy and layout have been designed for both!

Though the deal isn't quite done to buy C. Wonder, a strategy for reviving the brand by the future owners is already coming to light.
The brand was dormant until last week when Xcel Brands Inc. entered into a definitive agreement to purchase the C. Wonder trademarks, related designs and other intellectual properties from Burch Acquisition LLC.
According to sources, Xcel has decided to relaunch C. Wonder in spring 2016 on QVC. Xcel is also considering putting up international licensed C. Wonder stores. How soon or how many could not be determined.
As far as the collection, sources said it will be close in character and composition to the former collection, and that it will include apparel, accessories, home and children's. "It will be better pricing, value-oriented," said one source.
In addition, Brad Goreski, the 37-year-old celebrity stylist and co-host on E!'s "Fashion Police," will be the spokesperson for C. Wonder appearing on QVC.
Sources indicated that Xcel is expected to close the deal for C. Wonder before the end of July.
Xcel officials were not available for comment last week, but they are expected to be more forthcoming about their C. Wonder plans after the transaction closes.
C. Wonder's revival will fit into the business marketing model at Xcel, which was founded by Robert W. D'Loren in 2011. Xcel owns the Isaac Mizrahi, Judith Ripka and H by Halston brands and sells them on QVC. Xcel also designs and manages the Liz Claiborne New York brand. Xcel engages in the design, licensing, marketing and direct-to-consumer sales of the brands, while QVC handles the manufacturing. C. Wonder will be based at Xcel's offices in New York on 10th Avenue, the source said.
C. Wonder, which was founded by J. Christopher Burch in 2011, sold an inexpensive, colorful and sometimes kitschy array of women's clothing, footwear, jewelry, accessories, housewares, home decor and gift-type products. The business expanded rapidly throughout the U.S, eventually opening 32 stores.
In 2013, Burch sold a 10 percent stake in the chain to Fidelity Investments for $35 million, funds that were used to help fuel its growth. Burch at one time spoke of opening hundreds of C. Wonder stores worldwide and last year signed a deal to open units in the Middle East.
But the expansion proved too fast and last January the retailer laid off its employees, filed Chapter 11 and eventually closed its stores. Burch Acquisition, controlled by Burch, purchased the C. Wonder brand after it went bankrupt to redevelop the business. Some said C. Wonder, the first time around, was a case of doing too much too soon. On one occasion, Burch said the company's five-year plan was to open 250 to 300 stores in 50 countries.
The label was a point of legal contention between Burch and his ex-wife Tory Burch, who claimed the C. Wonder concept was too similar to her brand in terms of its product and store design. The couple started the Tory Burch company in 2003 and divorced in 2007. They ultimately settled the legal claims.

Resourcing of Neurology Services in Ireland : 5 years on 2015-2020
The Neurological Alliance of Ireland (NAI) is an umbrella organisation for 30 non-profit organisations including PSPA Ireland. The NAI advocates for the rights of 800,000 people in Ireland with neurological conditions. The latest report was launched on 15th March 2021 as part of Brain Awareness Week and highlights a disappointing failure to keep pace with the needs of people with neurological conditions.
In 2015 the NAI in conjunction with the National Clinical Programmes carried out a survey of neurological needs across Ireland to inform the neurology Model of Care for Ireland. In 2015 the key findings were:
- Deficits in staffing.
- Lack of dedicated beds.
- Unacceptable waiting lists for diagnostic tests.
- Critical lack of neurorehabilitation services.
Recommendations were made to
- ensure access to multidisciplinary care.
- Ringfensed dedicated neurology beds.
- Tackle long term waiting times for MRI Scanning.
- Invest in neurorehabilitation services.
Between 2015 and 2020 demand for neurology services has increased significantly and outpatient departments waiting lists have almost doubled. The reliance on patient organisations to provide an array of vital services for long term community management and support has increased but so have the costs.
In healthcare Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) comes under the Parkinson's Disease grouping. 30 Clinical Nurse Specialists is the recommended number. There are 6 in place and no PSP Nurse specialist
The neurology services are critically understaffed and the numbers are largely unchanged since 2015. The existing pressures in Neurology have been compounded by the Covid 19 pandemic and redeployment of staff.
The number of Neuropsychologists remain unchanged and the majority of centres do not have specialist dieticians. Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists numbers are unchanged or reduced. The level of Consultant Neurologists is still well below the 64.3 recommended in the Model of Care for Neurological Services in Ireland. Thankfully funding for 2021 will provide Consultant Neurologists in Sligo, Limerick, Kilkenny and Waterford but these centres lack a full multidisciplinary team (MDT) vital for the provision of effective care and management in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy , Corticobasal Degeneration and other neurological conditions.
The 2021 Report Recommends
- Addressing ongoing critical understanding across neurological services through year on year investment.
- Investment in neurological services.
- Address capacity issues to enable neurology services to meet current and emerging need
- Tackling the funding crisis amongst not for profit providers of neurological care.
The full report is available on www.nai.ie

Despite last weeks heat wave where temperatures climbed into the high 90's, we managed to hook and land a number of fine salmon. The weather's been hot and very humid across the Gaspe Peninsula and all our rivers are experiencing low water conditions. Despite lower water conditions we did however land a good number of salmon and grilse but we're working a little harder for them.
Jeff has been a regular at Camp Bonaventure for over 20 years, he's a great friend and an awesome angler, nice one Jeff!
Fred has been part of Camp Bonaventure since day one. He sure knows how to catch them, congratulations Fred, see you in September!
The Bonaventure is low but still cool and holding at 12 cubic meters per second , very low for this time of the season. The Petite Cascapedia is seeing a nice run of fresh fish but the water is low at 9 Cubic meters per second. The Grand Cascapedia has been producing some nice fish but it's also getting very low and flowing at 14.
Pascale with her first one of the season, well done Pascale! see you next year.
Jacqueline and Camp Bonaventure master guide Carol with a fresh run Bonaventure salmon, congratulations Jacqueline!
We could really use some rain, all the rivers on the Peninsula are low at the moment but certainly still fishable. We are fortunate that our rivers run cold from the Chic-Choc mountains and remain cool even when the weather warms up. The weather man is calling for showers on Monday and Tuesday, lets hope he's accurate for once!
Camp Bonaventure regular Serge sure know how to catch them, Nice one on our Poirier pool Serge!
Martin comes all the way to Camp from Argentina each year, a great guy and master angler, nice start to the week Martin!!! congratulations.
The hot fly's for the week have been a mixture of dry's and small wets. Green, Dark Brown and especially Blue Bombers were responsible for most of the catches. In the wet fly department, the John Olin, Green Butt and Black Ghost did the job, the Green Machine is also catching up pretty quickly as one of the best fly's. The sizes that are working best are number 8's 10's and 12's.
Until next week,

Opioid prescriptions remain common for teens and young adults, a new study finds.
From 2005 to 2015, nearly 15 percent of teens and young adults received an opioid prescription during an emergency room visit, according to the study, published Tuesday in the journal Pediatrics. That's compared with 3 percent among those who were seen in an outpatient clinic.
What's more, ER visits for dental issues resulted in an opioid prescription nearly 60 percent of the time.
"Adolescents and young adults are such a high-risk population for opioid misuse and future addiction," said the study's lead author, Dr. Joel Hudgins, a clinical instructor at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. "We found the rates of opioid prescriptions were pretty high, at 15 percent, which is right in line with adult data."
CDC warns deaths soaring from third wave of opioid epidemicMarch 21, 201901:21
In 2016, nearly 400,000 young adults, ages 18 to 25 had an opioid-use disorder in the previous year, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. And it's estimated that one in eight deaths in teens and young adults is linked to opioids, according to an editorial published alongside the new study.
To get a sense of how many teens and young adults, ages 13 to 22, were receiving prescriptions for opioids in the ER and outpatient clinics —and for what conditions — Hudgins and his colleagues turned to two nationally representative databases: the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey.
The raw samples from 2005 through 2015 from those databases included 47,159 visits to ERs and 31,271 visits to outpatient clinics. Extrapolating those numbers to the entire U.S. population would represent 197 million visits to an ER and 801 million visits to an outpatient clinic.
While opioid prescriptions might be understandable for collarbone fractures and certain other types of bone breaks, Hudgins and others were perplexed by others, including those for sore throats, for which opioids were prescribed at 12.5 percent of visits, urinary tract infections, prescribed at 16.7 percent of visits and dental problems, prescribed at 57.9 percent of visits.
Hudgins was particularly struck by the numbers relating to dental issues. "The actual recommendation for this is for Tylenol or ibuprofen, not opioids," he told NBC News.
That may be so, but it appears that U.S. dentists also prescribe a lot of opioids. A separate study, published on Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open, found that in 2016, the proportion of prescriptions for opioids written by U.S. dentists was 37 times greater than the proportion written by British dentists.
Opioids, adolescents and young adults
What's most concerning is that the prescriptions for opioids discussed in the new research are being written for adolescents and young adults, said Dr. Deanna Wilson, an addiction specialist and an assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
"This reiterates what I see," Wilson told NBC News. "The vast majority of young adult and adolescent patients using fentanyl and heroin started with a prescription for opioids."
People have to remember that adolescents are especially vulnerable to addictive drugs because their brains haven't finished developing, Wilson said. "My favorite analogy is to think of it as a car that has a gas pedal but the brakes aren't fully developed," she added.
Part of the solution to the problem may be more education for both physicians and the public, said Dr. Christopher Hammond, an assistant professor of psychiatry and medical director of the Co-occurring Disorders in Adolescents and Young Adults Program at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
"I think [the new study] frames an area that future public health initiatives and training should be targeting: how to reduce opioid prescriptions in these ER settings and how to use non-opioid pain medications and other pain approaches in the acute care setting," Hammond told NBC News. "The antecedents for opioid misuse start in adolescence and early adulthood."
Indeed, doctors need to look beyond opioids for pain control, said Dr. C. Anthoney Lim, director of pediatric emergency medicine for the Mount Sinai Health System and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
"Physicians should be suggesting NSAIDs, like Motrin, unless there is a counter-indication. And parents should be told to give the NSAID time to work. If after that the pain is uncontrollable, you can use [less-strong opioids such as] Tylenol-Codeine or Percocet."
Ultimately, it may be up to parents to combat the problem for teens, Lim told NBC News, adding "it's important for parents to ask about [non-opioid pain medications] and alternative approaches to pain control."

University students from Jalingo, were involved in a ghastly motor accident at Abakaliki, Ebonyi State on their way to school from Jalingo yesterday, Friday, November 2nd, 2018.
One of the buses got burnt to ashes, roasting three of the students.
According to a source who spoke to us with condition of anonymity, he identified the students who died as Kerry Oliver (200L), Christable (200L, OPT) and Rita (200L, OPT).
Students who were rushed to the hospital were identified as Stanley (400L, MLS), Chidima Nwosu (200L, OPT), Divine (100L, EE).
A student who was in the other bus the moment the accident happened wrote: "One of my buses we chattered from Taraba state, containing only Madonna students (we chartered 2 buses) had an accident today around 6:PM, the bus somersaulted and caught fire immediately, the bus burnt beyond recognition, student were burnt inside the bus alive. 3 students were burnt to death beyond recognition (2 girls, 1 boy), 3 students managed to come out, but 1 broke her leg and head.
They were immediately rushed to the hospital (and they are all unconscious).
The buses contained 12 students (6 students in each bus, containing the driver, 7 people). It all happened in Ebonyi State, Abakiliki. (I don't know the state of the driver, whether he survived or not.).
Currently I am in one police station in Abakalili, can't travel again this night, I was actually in the bus in the beginning but later I changed to the other bus. (Thank God.) 5 girls and I'm the only boy in the second bus. We are all madonna students)

Pretty much anything Kanye West is seen wearing is guaranteed to sell out. Just ask adidas. Accordingly, Alpha Industries is crediting the fashion icon for a significant increase in sales of their heralded bomber jackets.
Bombers have been back in a major way over the past couple of years, with a slew of brands taking advantage of the trend and thus creating their own. Nobody arguably does it better than Alpha Industries, however, who were commissioned back in the early '70s to make jackets for the military.
Currently, the company is reporting a 30-percent increase in revenue this year, in large part thanks to their must-have MA-1 Jacket.
Kanye didn't just start rocking bombers recently, though. Alpha's chief executive officer Mike Cirker revealed to WWD, "Kanye West's team called us up two or three years ago before his Yeezus tour and said he wanted tour jackets for everyone. This was a year ahead of when the trend hit the runways so he was very forward-thinking. He bought 100 jackets or so from us and applied his own logo and patches."
Ye has since had bomber jackets made for his YEEZY collections and can often be seen donning the popular style. West isn't the only celebrity to get in on the fad, just look at Travis Scott, but he surely is one of the most influential, if not the most. Alpha Industries can attest to it.
Got the drop on High Snobiety . . .

February's fun and excitement of selections continued with Tile and Bathroom Fixtures. SO MUCH FUN!!! SOOOOO MANY CHOICES of tile! Holy Cow! Luckily there IS a budget and Brenda was awesome, once again using her expertise to help us out. This is a place you can certainly go over budget in a point of a finger. I LOVE that ONE!! But as long as you have a great designer, a great builder that budgets efficiently and understand there might be things down the road you want to splurge a little on, then you will be close if not under budget.
When we were at Designs in Marble Tile and Granite Showroom, we walked around first to get an idea of what each of us liked and then dug right in. We went room by room of the house with Brenda as she took all the notes and would pull tiles for us and grout samples to try with each. Who knew there were even different types of grout to use that would be have very little maintenance!? Well there is and of course we picked it.
Starting from the left; Upstairs bathroom, Mudroom/Laundry/Powder Room and then Master Bath. The last picture is from Brenda, an idea of what we want done in the Master Bathroom shower.
The Master Bath tile is super cool and unfortunately does not photograph well. It's a rich dark brown with lots of character. We are most excited about seeing this tile. It was brand new and at the time, had not been used in any homes yet. The Mudroom tile is super cool too though. Lots of character and neutral colors that will be able to withstand the tests of time.
Next selection…Bathroom fixtures/ Plumbing!
Nothing to eventful for us at Able Kitchen & Bath Showplace. We wanted to keep the bathroom fixtures within budget if not under, except for the waterfall shower head that Neil had wanted from the get go. No need for self closing toilet seat lids or upgrading to all the fancy stuff. Keeping it nice and simple. The process was easy and they explained everything along with options. In the picture below we are looking at a very large computer screen behind the lovely Able team member with options of each item.

Online chicken groups are full of queries and complaints about rooster behaviour, that is, the perception of aggression and how to deal with it. No doubt there are roosters that chase, peck and spur folks, but what is most distressing (to me, at least) is the advice that is given overwhelmingly involves being aggressive in return. There are the folks that suggest pinning a rooster down on the ground or hanging him upside down in front of his flock will 'embarrass' or 'humiliate' him into submission. Or the chicken keepers who feel like they rule the roost and anyone who steps out of line deserves to be swatted or kicked in retaliation. And then there is the chorus of 'roosters are a dime a dozen, turn him into chicken and dumplings'.
I fear that a lot of misunderstood roosters have been unnecessarily bullied, abused and killed by owners who had no clue that their strategies only made things worse. I can understand people's frustration, fear and ignorance about chicken behaviour. What I can't understand is how they think their own aggression will achieve a positive result.
When I first got chickens I erroneously thought roosters were more bother than they were worth and unnecessary for positive flock dynamics. I've since learned I was wrong and have had several roosters, all of them good with my girls and me.
I've written several posts about the importance of having a rooster and aspects of rooster health. Sometimes I feel I'm pushing back against a deeply held view that roosters are inherently aggressive and superfluous, so it was with real relief when I connected with Sara and Jacob of Roovolution to know that some folks share my philosophy.
They formed a rooster flock after several of their first chicks turned out to be cockerels and have spent hours with their boys, observing and interacting with them. It is out of this commitment to understand their roosters that they have developed some meaningful insight into working with their instinctual behaviour to create a harmonious flock.
The following is their observations and advice to folks wanting to keep a rooster as part of a harmonious flock.
When it comes to misunderstood animals, roosters may well be at the top of the list. All sorts of myths and bad advice have become widespread, leaving many keepers feeling as though they have no choice but to respond to them harshly, expel them from their flock, or avoid keeping them altogether. There is a strong perception within the community that they are ill-tempered, challenging, and simply not worth the hassle. Sadly, there is also a pervasive belief that the only way to engage with them is to be combative or aggressive oneself, in hopes of intimidating them into 'good' behavior. In truth, this is the worst approach, and is very likely to take what started as a misunderstanding and convert it into a serious and recurring issue. When this happens, it is always the bird that winds up being blamed and punished. These situations are then used as support that 'roosters are mean' and 'you just can't fix bad behavior'. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The Truth About Roosters
Well to start, according to recent studies they are likely as intelligent as a four year old human. They are also highly social animals, capable of empathy, forming strong and lasting relationships, and demonstrate immense selflessness by nature. Their willingness to disregard their own wants and safety in favour of caring for their flock is astounding. When humans demonstrate the same sort of love and commitment as a rooster, we call them martyrs and heroes. Roosters are highly protective, a trait driven by this same love and commitment we usually find so admirable. It is this expression of their dedication that typically causes keepers to run into issues, and is often misunderstood as aggression.
I always recommend doing away with the word 'aggressive' which implies malice and is simply an inappropriate way to frame what is going on. What is commonly described as aggression in roosters is almost always fear, confusion, survival instinct, or defensiveness. This behaviour is a sign that something is wrong and help is needed, not a cause for anger or offense. Understanding what makes them tick is likely the most important factor in successfully keeping a rooster in the flock.
Certain behaviours are easily misunderstood. Changes in hormones can make them seem unpredictable if the keeper doesn't know what is going on. A rooster's hormones fluctuate not only throughout the year, but even throughout each day. Testosterone is at its highest in morning and evening and, for that reason, most reactive behavior occurs during these times as well. Spring is another period of very high testosterone because it's breeding season.
The most problematic period of hormone overdrive is likely puberty which occurs for young cockerels from 3-4 months up to about a year of age. This period also coincides with when most first report that their 'sweet' boy has become 'mean'. This, however, is an erroneous interpretation of what is happening. When hormones enter the picture, that baby bird who was only concerned with exploring and playing suddenly realizes he has a very important job to do. He is destined to be a protector, but he doesn't know yet what he is supposed to protect against. What follows is often a series of bad guesses, some understandable, some downright laughable. I once watched one of our young boys let out a predator screech at a butterfly as it flew past. It's not uncommon for that same confusion to come out in ways that are inconvenient, and sometimes downright painful, for the keeper.
Safety Equipment
It is crucial to respond with patience and understanding during these periods. Being prepared will make it much easier to respond calmly. Have basic protective equipment available that can be utilized if you feel it is necessary: long sleeves, gloves, jeans, closed toe shoes (preferably boots), and even shin guards can bolster your confidence and prevent unnecessary injuries if misunderstandings occur. It's best to avoid flashy prints or colours when dealing with roosters; sticking with muted tones will minimize reactivity. Make a special effort to stay away from red, pink and orange, as this colour spectrum is known to be a trigger. Even so, each bird is an individual and has their own preferences. By paying careful attention you will soon learn which colours and items to avoid with each of your birds.
During puberty roosters are collecting a database of threats and non-threats, attempting to learn how to do their job. For instance, this might come out in an attack on your shoes. In that moment they are making, what seems to them, the safest guess about that possible danger. They will categorize as threat or non-threat based on your response and the overall outcome of the situation. Some folks advocate kicking back when this sort of thing happens, but that will only affirm to the bird that they were right to attack in the first place. All four boys in our bachelor flock are remarkably tame and human friendly, and I credit this to the fact that we have never attempted to dominate, intimidate, or punish them for natural behaviour. When their actions require discouragement, we take the time to gently redirect and allow them to see that they are safe.
We also pay careful attention to triggers and avoid them once we identify them. As a result, they have never been given any reason to view us as a danger or an enemy. Put simply, we adapt to them, rather than expecting them to adapt to us.
Be Aware
Even with the calmest rooster there can still be misunderstandings. It is important to be highly alert and aware of roosters' movements and position at all times, especially when they are in close range. They are very capable animals with incredible reflexes and speed. Something as simple as a shifting reflection in an eye could prompt a curious peck and result in serious injury. Our roosters love to spend their time in our lap getting snuggles, but we always pay careful attention to their mood and keep more distance when it is clear they are overstimulated and showing weak control over impulses. In addition, we always ensure that our faces are either at a safe distance, or we are in a position where we can gently control their head as needed. Chickens have more vertebrae in their necks than a giraffe, and are capable of sudden and astonishing reach when they set their sights on something of interest.
One of the difficult behaviors a keeper is likely to encounter with their rooster is biting or nipping. Many keepers interpret this as an attack, as it can absolutely be painful. However, this is a situation in which they really just don't know their own strength. There are a few different reasons roosters might nip, but none of them are an attempt to attack. One is to direct, such as when they are annoyed or want attention. Another is to scold or communicate that something has upset them, such as uncomfortable pin feathers being touched. They will also do this in preparation to mate. If you watch a rooster preparing to mount a hen, he will first grab her neck feathers to secure her.
Particularly during puberty, this instinct can come out in unexpected ways. A hand moving near the ground might trigger mating drives and cause them to grab skin with their beak in an attempt to climb onto an arm and mate with it. Roosters have a strong bite, and will sometimes clamp and hold skin with their beak. This can be startling and uncomfortable, but suddenly pulling back will cause unnecessary damage to skin. We find that the best response to this is to either calmly push towards their chest to prompt them to release, or use a free hand to gently remove their beak. Nipping always seems to be either attempts at mating or communication, and should not be viewed as them looking for a fight.
What Does An Attack Look Like?
When attacking in response to a perceived danger, a rooster will charge up to the threat with his neck flared, and quickly jump and kick. He may flog as well, which involves very strong flapping to batter his target. The important thing to note with this is that there is typically no significant delay. They approach quickly and immediately engage with a high level of urgency which is your clue that they perceive a serious threat that must be dispatched. Because this is a fear response, fighting back will only cause the attack to intensify. The best thing to do is gently create a barrier in order to ensure no harm is done to either party. One of our boys often panics over the way my pants or shoes move, so I often choose to just raise my leg and allow him to kick the sole of my shoe until he sees that the 'aggressor' is not coming after him.
You can see the initial attack against the pants after they move more than he was expecting when he pecks at them. I extend my leg to keep him at a short distance, then stand to ensure my face is out of range. Once he has had a moment to settle, I pull the pants tight against my legs before letting him inspect them in order to ensure no more unexpected movement will occur. When he realizes that there is no danger after all he quickly disengages and resumes normal activity. Any object that can be held between the bird and his target will work as well. I have even thwarted these situations simply by holding the bag of soiled coop litter or folding stool between us as I leave the run. If the perceived danger is an object, say a container or tool, it can be set down to allow them to attack until they see that it is not responding in a frightening way. Sometimes they just need the opportunity to feel that they did their job and see for themselves that the situation is not threatening.
Challenging can look similar to attacking, with one important distinction: it typically takes the form of neck flaring, but with the body lowered and feet planted. This is intended to intimidate the opponent into backing down, and will progress into jumping and kicking only if neither concedes. There is a delay here while they test whether simply showing off will get their message across. This type of behaviour is what you would expect to see during pecking order change ups or flock disputes. It might be directed at another rooster in the flock, or even the keeper themselves. If done to the keeper, it's a sign they perceive a challenge or feel the keeper stepped out of line in some way, often by taking on a role the rooster feels should be his. This could be something as simple as calling the girls for treats or getting too close with his favorite hen.
In this situation the goal should be to reassure him that he is the leader and that no challenge is intended. You can give him treats to give the hens which shows that you support him in his job and that you are not interested in engaging in those competitions with him. This is why it is never recommended to run or fight back. The best thing is to slowly and calmly move into his space to force him to turn and leave. He doesn't wind up 'winning', but isn't defeated either, and learns that you aren't challenging him.
When it occurs within the flock it's best to let them sort out the dispute, as long as nobody is in danger of serious injury, and it should resolve fairly quickly. The weaker bird usually concedes and the winner should allow the interaction to end. If the dominant bird pursues the loser and continues attacking, or if neither is willing to back down, it will become appropriate to intervene. Ultimately, the pecking order has to be sorted out for the flock to settle into a peaceful social structure. The keeper should intervene only as much as is necessary to ensure all members of the flock are safe while establishing their hierarchy.
The Harmonious Flock
It's my sincere belief that, like humans, all roosters want a peaceful and harmonious relationship with their flock and their keepers. When it comes to having a relationship with a rooster, it's not only about doing the right things, but actively avoiding doing the wrong things as well. It is so easy to burn bridges when we make the mistake of taking things personally and letting emotion get the better of us. Having gained an understanding of what is really driving these more challenging behaviors, as well as a compassionate, psychologically grounded strategy for response, you are well equipped to develop and maintain a loving and deeply rewarding relationship with any roosters who call your coop home.

Sara and Jacob Franklin came together over their shared love of all animals. As caregivers for their two flocks, they have worked diligently to develop a more intuitive and compassionate approach to husbandry, which is rooted in animal psychology rather than tradition. They now spend their time sharing advice and insight with fellow keepers in order to help them develop and maintain a closer bond with their birds.
Many thanks to Sara and Jacob Franklin of Roovolution and Rooster Allies for sharing their story, video and photos, used with permission.

The company said construction has started on new cage-free chicken houses in Ohio and Connecticut. Growers will begin placing birds in the new cage-free systems later this year. Hillandale expects the first facility to be completed during the third quarter of 2017 in Hicksville, Ohio, with the second facility in Bozrah, Connecticut, to be completed soon after.
"All future expansion at any of our farms will only be with chickens housed in a cage-free environment," Gary Bethel, CEO of Hillandale Farms, said in a statement. "As our existing facilities age, they will be replaced with cage-free barns, as well."
Additionally, Hillandale will implement cage-free systems in pullet houses in Ohio and New England.
Hillandale produces eggs under its own brand and the Eggland's Best brand. The egg producer offers specialty products such as cage-free white and brown eggs; free-range, organic, non-GMO, Omega 3 and Omega 3 plus lutein.
