Editor's note: At this article's deadline, the Biden administration proposed another rule to implement the No Surprises Act. Find out why the surprise-billing regulation represents a surprise gift to the insurance industry.
The AMA has serious concerns about the method for calculating the qualifying payment amount (QPA), a provision of the No Surprises Act (NSA) law that’s designed to protect patients from unexpected out-of-network fees for services that they believed were covered by their insurance plan.
Under the NSA, the QPA is meant to represent the median in-network rates for health care providers with each plan (frozen at 2019 levels and increased each year for inflation). The method plans should use to calculate a QPA for a health care service was included in a recent interim final rule (IFR), which is likely to be the first of many regulations to be developed in the implementation of the No Surprises Act, which was signed into law as part of the $1.4 trillion Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 and takes effect Jan. 1.
In addition to creating a method for calculating the QPA, the IFR also addresses NSA provisions related to notice and consent for out-of-network care and treatment of state surprise billing laws.
There is a concern that, instead of producing market-rate physician payments, the QPA will generate rates reflective of health plans’ market power (PDF) in increasingly noncompetitive regional markets. For example, under the IFR, small and large contracts will be weighted equally when determining the median contracted rate. Additionally, bonuses or other incentive-based, nonfee-for-service payments are not considered when determining the median. Moreover, plans actions such as downcoding and denials of claims will skew the QPA further.
“Ultimately, we believe it is in all stakeholders’ best interest to ensure that the calculation that purports to represent a median in-network commercial rate for provider payments in this process is truly reflective of the market,” AMA Executive Vice President and CEO James L. Madara, MD, wrote in a letter to Centers or Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure.”
“The QPA, under the method outlined in the IFR, does not meet that standard,” Dr. Madara’s letter says.
The QPA will be used to determine patient cost-sharing in a surprise billing situation and the AMA’s comments on the IFR recognize the importance of keeping such cost-sharing low.
However, under the NSA, the QPA is also submitted to the independent dispute resolution (IDR) entity, if a payment dispute reaches that point, to help determine a fair payment to the health care provider. A nonrepresentative QPA could significantly taint that process.
If the IDR process is skewed to favor health plans, it will create a “race to the bottom” in the negotiation of commercial rates, according to Dr. Madara’s letter.
If “plans are always able to prevail—it becomes nearly impossible for many physicians to engage in meaningful negotiations with plans,” Dr. Madara wrote.
More clarity and transparency is needed for those physicians navigating out-of-network billing in states with existing surprise-billing laws to minimize confusion.
“Another major concern for the AMA is physicians being able to clearly identify which set of rules apply to a claim when a specified state law is also in place,” the AMA’s comments state. “We think it is impossible to overstate the potential for physician confusion in navigating two regulatory structures, potentially even within the same episode of care depending on the scope of a state law.”
The AMA is calling on CMS to address these concerns with corrections or clarifications in future rulemaking related to the law’s implementation.

Compensation
The severity of your permanent incapacity will dictate the amount of compensation you can recover.
How much compensation can I recover?
The amount of compensation you can recover is measured according to the extent of your permanent impairment and the economic damages you have suffered. Our team will carefully examine and assess the facts of your case to determine the chances of success including an estimate of the total amount of compensation recoverable.
Permanent Incapacity
A medical expert will evaluate your physical condition and determine the permanent extent of your injury.
They will often provide a percentage of incapacity which the lawyers and judges will then use to determine compensation.
Economic Loss
Lost income, lost business revenue and loss of earning capacity are major issues in medical malpractice and personal injury cases. You may also seek payment for past and future medical expenses such as medications, medical equipment, physiotherapy and the cost of a personal caregiver even if the provider is a family member.
Cost of Future Care
When a child or adult is severely handicapped the cost of lifetime care is usually not covered by public healthcare (RAMQ) or private insurance. These costs can be significant and may constitute a major portion of the compensation you are eligible to receive.
Pain and Suffering
Compensation will be awarded for the pain, suffering, inconvenience and loss of companionship you have suffered. Spouses and children of the injured party may also be eligible for compensation.

Introduction
Yes, nobody likes to be fat. But at the same time, nobody, but nobody, likes to diet! We diet simply because we have to. There are those of us whom Fate has willed to be fat, but since fashion and good health dictate that we be thin, we have had to feel exempt from the human race at mealtimes. Worse yet, because diet food has, until now, been so unappetizing, often after we have succeeded in losing a few pounds we have gone back to fattening eating again. Up goes the scale; nobody can spend a lifetime feeling deprived. Only by acquiring a new eating lifestyle can one stay thin. Anyone who has ever had a serious weight problem eventually knows he must diet in some way for the rest of his life, and until medical science discovers a fat-melting pill, dieting will remain the only answer. But how does one go about choosing a diet that allows one to either lose pounds or maintain a low weight, while at the same time allowing him not to feel deprived? Today, the choices of diets are innumerable: A Complete Starvation Diet: This was the first diet I ever tried and I learned at the young age of thirteen that the only thing this diet would do was make me sick. This isn’t just a diet with bad nutrition—this one has no nutrition! The Ten-Day Egg Diet or The Mayo Clinic Diet: This diet never originated in the Mayo Clinic! After trying it during my college years, I could never again stand the sight of a hard-cooked egg. I must admit that it did take some pounds off me in those ten days, but on the tenth day, I promptly passed out. This diet is not only poor nutritionally, it leaves you in a state of constant hunger. The Old Blitz Diet: By eating cottage cheese and fruit three times a day, you are supposed to take off five pounds in two days. I lost a half pound in four days and was gagging on the cottage cheese by the first night. I didn’t mind cottage cheese and fruit for lunch, but for breakfast and dinner, too? Having to eat cottage cheese for dinner, especially on cold winter nights, made me feel inhuman. This diet is psychologically unsatisfying and is also poor nutritionally if you stay on it for any length of time. The Old Calorie-Counting Diets: I lived with these diets for many years—until I learned better. They did work and even kept me thin. But in order to lose weight or even to maintain my weight, I had to keep my calorie intake so low that not only was I always hungry, I had the worst health of anyone I knew. I had no resistance to disease, took three times as long as anyone else to heal when I got sick, and was always weak and tired. I have iron willpower and rarely break any diet, so I managed to live with low-calorie diets for years. However, I also severely aggravated a case of hypoglycemia—low blood sugar—by always walking around hungry, and came close to losing my life because of it. The damage done during those years can never be completely undone. If you severely restrict calories all of your life, you cannot get enough basic nutrition to keep you healthy. Besides, most people who aren’t as motivated to be thin usually give up when the hunger becomes unbearable. The Diet Pill Way: Doctors hand these out much too freely! Every doctor I had ever been to, up until the time I met Dr. Robert Atkins, handed me prescriptions for diet pills when I complained I had trouble staying thin. They all assume that you’re a glutton and eat too much. Diet pills actually are meant to make you lose weight by suppressing your appetite so that you will cut down your calories. But the minute you stop taking them, your appetite returns in full force. The only way you can stay thin with them is by continuing to take them. Apart from the damage they can do to your body, do you really want to be hooked? Dr. Stillman’s Quick-Weight-Loss Diet: I’ve known many people who lost weight on this diet, but gained a great amount right back the minute they began to eat normally. Mainly, this diet does not teach good eating habits. Nobody can live on just meat, hard-cooked eggs, cottage cheese, and water for the rest of his or her life. Besides the fact that this is bad nutritionally (I faint on this diet and have known many others who either faint or feel very weak), this diet is boring. Weight-Watchers Diet: If this diet works for you, use it by all means. It is nutritionally sound and can do you no harm. However, it will not necessarily do you any good either, because it does not work for everyone. I think you may have to be severely overweight to have this diet work for you. I gain weight on it, as do a number of others I’ve met. By this time, if you’re starting to wonder if the only thing you can do is stay round, take heart. There is still one diet that I have not mentioned. Imagine a diet that lets you eat gourmet meals! Imagine a diet you will be able to stick to when eating in any restaurant! Imagine a diet that does not force you to eat any particular food you do not like! Imagine a diet that lets you have good wines with your dinner! Imagine a diet that lets you lose weight and keep it off forever with just a minimum of willpower! Imagine a diet that’s fun! No, this diet does not exist only in your dreams. It’s a diet that you can start living with right now. It’s a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. There are many variations of the basic low-carbohydrate diet. The one factor they have in common is that they all restrict carbohydrates but do not restrict calories—hence no hunger. Carbohydrate foods are those that contain high percentages of sugar (which is pure carbohydrate) and starch, including fruits, breads, cakes, candies, pies, soda containing sugar, puddings, cereal, pasta, and some vegetables such as corn and potatoes. Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, butter, oil, margarine, and some mayonnaises contain no carbohydrates while cheeses and salad greens contain only a few. It’s a good idea when starting this diet to equip yourself with a carbohydrate gram-counting chart. Comprehensive charts are available in any paperback bookshop. The Doctor’s Pocket Calorie, Fat and Carbohydrate Counter by Allan Borushek is an excellent and very complete paperback book that I found in my local bookstore. Dr. Atkins’ New Carbohydrate Gram Counter is an inexpensive little book that’s quite complete, even though it’s tiny and easy to slip into a pocket or handbag when going marketing. Another good book to get is the Department of Agriculture Handbook, Composition of Foods, which can be obtained by writing to the Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C. The most liberal of the low-carbohydrate diets was The Drinking Man’s Diet, otherwise known as The Air Force Diet. To follow this diet, you could eat anything you wanted as long as you limited yourself to fewer than 60 grams of carbohydrates per day. There were no limits placed on any other foods. If you lose weight easily, by all means follow this diet. It’s the easiest of all. Dr. Carlton Fredericks was Dr. Robert Atkins’s mentor on low-carbohydrate diets. Dr. Fredericks’s suggestion that you eat six small meals a day instead of the usual three large ones is excellent and has been recommended to dieters for years. In an article called “Meal Frequency—A Possible Factor in Human Pathology” in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (August 1970), an experiment is described showing how both men and women, when fed small, frequent meals, were able to eat more than 1,400 calories in excess of the normal intake they needed to maintain their normal weight, without gaining any weight. But when they were fed the same amount of food in two large meals, they gained weight to the degree of their calorie excess. When it was published, Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution immediately aroused a storm of controversy. One of the biggest criticisms leveled at Dr. Atkins by the American Medical Association was that his diet was too high in saturated fats. I think one of the things that the AMA failed to realize is that by natural selectivity, people will vary their diet. Even if you are allowed to eat eggs, beef, butter, et cetera, you will not necessarily take in too much. Most people want variety in their meals and practically everyone would get sick of eating steaks, roast beef, or very rich food every single day, never mind the cost of these foods in inflationary times. I do feel that Dr. Atkins should have placed some restrictions on the amounts of food people eat. I’m not saying people should count every calorie, but they should be aware that they shouldn’t eat even protein foods out of boredom or unhappiness, for amusement or sociability, or even just because it’s mealtime. If you eat only in reasonable quantities, you will not eat an unreasonable amount of fat. And if your doctor advises you, because of your particular state of health, to restrict your intake of saturated fats, many high-protein, low-carbohydrate recipes can be just what you should be using so that you can follow his orders without going on a dreary “I can’t eat anything” diet. As a general rule of thumb: The saturated fats people are told to avoid are found in butter, egg yolk, cream cheese and cheeses made from cream or whole milk, sweet or sour cream, beef, lamb, liver, and shrimp. Avoid these and concentrate on egg whites, cheeses made from skim milk or partially skim milk, fish other than shellfish, fowl, veal, and soy flour. Substitute trans-fat-free margarine or olive oil for butter, farmer’s cheese for cream cheese, or whipped nonfat dry milk or fat-free half-and-half for heavy cream.

E nergy Replenishment Techniques
Energy is an essential requirement in life, literally every activity requires energy. We workout, energy; we travel, energy. Everything we do requires energy, some in large quantity and other in a little quantity. Since all activities require energy, it is imperative to play a role in helping the body replenish its energy reserves. When energy reserves are low, the output of both the physical and mental activities are usually diminished. This leads to a decrease in productivity of individuals. In situations where physical energy is required, energy replenishment is of the utmost important. There are ways through which energy can be acquired, these activities help amplify the effects of such replenishment techniques.
Activities to aid rapid energy replenishment
These techniques have been proven to be very effective in replenishing energy and facilitating rapid recovery where needed. They have a proven track record and are mostly employed by athletes as they need rapid energy replenishment more than most. However, these techniques can be applied by regular people like you and me. These techniques include:
Proper diet: The influence of a proper balanced diet is very important. As the saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. The right diet helps provide the required elements in the right proportions to help maximize the body’s recovery and aid in the replenishment of energy reserves.
Water therapy: It sounds so ordinary, but dehydration is a very common side effect of working hard, and can have adverse effects if not immediately dealt with. Water has been referred to as the best nutritional supplement and that is the reason why it is very effective in facilitating rapid recovery and energy replenishment in individuals.
Stretching: stretching helps relax the muscles, taking them from an active state, to a neutral state where they seem to almost be asleep. When the muscles are relaxed, they can better absorb energy that is being circulated that to dieting and water therapy. The absorption process is very effective when the body is fully relaxed.
Massage therapy: When you receive a massage, it helps free the tension points of the body. Stress and tension can cause the muscles to tense up and form clumps. Massages target these buildups and help free the stress and tension, creating a relaxed environment which helps facilitate the circulation and absorption of energy, aiding recovery.
Sleep: No amount of dieting and different kinds of therapy would be complete without an appropriate amount of sleep. When we sleep, all our organs and muscles enter a rest state where their activities are reduced. During this period, energy absorption is at its most effective, paving way for quick recovery. The right sleeping habit will produce the most effective recovery in an individual.
With all these techniques performed in the right order and at regularly scheduled intervals, energy generation and recovery is bound to be at its best.

Did you know that Stripe's technical documentation receives ~25x more organic traffic than the Stripe blog?
This isn't a coincidence. Their docs are designed to cater to search intents and rank.
The SaaS market is expected to grow to $220 billion by 2022. 🤑
Anyone competing in the SaaS economy knows that content marketing is one of the most important business activities in 2021. More than ever before.
Here's the official definition of content marketing:
Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.
Seems simple.
Yet, only 9% of B2B marketers rate their organization as “very effective” at content marketing.
Let's try to break down what these organizations are doing to win at content marketing, and what we can learn from them.
Content Marketing Tips & Strategies 1. Derive content from experience instead of repeating what others are saying
To write well, you have to do spend a lot of time thinking about your readers and about your topic.
The omnipresence of content today means every SaaS business has to pay extra attention to their targeted personas' needs.
Remember to put yourself in the shoes of your customers.
One of the biggest barriers to creating content is finding people with relevant experience, who are willing to write blog posts. If you can find someone like that, they can derive insights from experience as opposed to relying on what everyone else is saying about the topic (copy-paste content).
Companies, where all team members- engineers, designers, marketers, salespeople, and product folks contribute to content, tend to win the long-term game because their content stands out, and each piece of content is derived from personal experience.
Embed content deeply into your culture, as opposed to making it only the content team's responsibility.

2. Product-led Content
Your content should not only inform prospects about your product but also about the industry in which they work.
To be able to inform your readers about
their industry, you need to understand it really well yourself and stay up-to-date with the latest trends and developments.
Make your content marketing product-driven. It's about weaving your product into the narrative to solve a problem.
Don't sell. Focus on communicating valuable information instead of trying to sell your product.
Create content that focuses on a specific pain point or problem that your audience is experiencing and demonstrates how your product can help them solve it.
This approach will help in customer acquisition- it helps visitors perceive your product as the most effective solution to their problem. In addition, existing customers might also find it helpful.
In today's age of product-led growth, the majority of buyers do not want to go through the traditional marketing process.
70% of your target audience prefers hearing about your product while reading an article to finding it through an ad.
They want immediate answers to their questions and relief from their pain.
You should use your content as a way to build relationships with your potential customers by giving away value for free.
Ahrefs does a great job at this. Their 50M annual revenue with a team size of 50 is testimony to the fact that product-led content can help you acquire users without spending millions.
The golden rule of growing your website traffic:— Ahrefs (@ahrefs) August 8, 2019
Make sure your content answers the questions of your potential customers, while your product or service solves their problems. 💪 We're a case study of this: six of the best ten pages on our blog are comprehensive how-to guides. pic.twitter.com/ETGWg3HFXT 3. Align content with each stage in your funnel
A first-time visitor to your website is looking for different information as compared to a returning user. Be sure to map out specific content that appeals to leads and customers at every stage.
The content marketing funnel
The content marketing funnel is focused on:
drawing the attention of your audience through awareness getting them interested in your business or product influencing their desire for the item customer taking the required action-making a purchase
The content marketing funnel is basically a customer's journey when considering a software purchase.
The funnel is made of three pieces, with each piece serving a particular intent and purpose:
TOFU
or top of the funnel focuses on customer awareness through knowledge and education.
Examples: Blog posts, social media updates, infographics, videos, podcasts. MOFU
or middle of the funnel focuses on building a deeper relationship with your customer by winning their trust, and more.
Examples: eBooks and white papers, case studies, reports, guides, templates, email courses, webinars, list of resources, among others. BOFU
or bottom of the funnel. At this stage, you basically have to influence your customer to believe that what you're offering is better than everything else on the market. Done right, you will have onboarded another customer.
Examples: Demos, free trials, testimonials, competitive comparisons, customer stories, etc. The average buyer engages with 3-5 pieces of content before talking to a sales rep.
Keep your content focused on the product and shift your content strategy from "look at me" to "look what I can do for you," and you'll see some impressive results.
Every piece of content you churn out is an opportunity to bring a new lead closer to a sale or to inspire an existing customer to take some action.
4. Go beyond what's obvious
Most marketers associate content marketing with three elements: blog posts, landing pages, and lead magnets.
That's a skewed viewpoint. Content strategies must go beyond tactics and begin with a thorough understanding of your target audience.
Most marketers place a high priority on blog posts. Stripe is not one of them.
How Stripe uses "Show, don't tell" to acquire customers
Stripe competes in a crowded market.
~8000 people visit Stripe's blog every month.
On the other hand, ~200,000 people visit Stripe's technical documentation every month.
This isn't by chance.
The documentation is designed to solve users' queries and rank. From a user experience standpoint, most technical documentation is garbage. Stripe isn't like that.
The Stripe Documentation is detailed and fun. Most importantly, it works.
In-depth guides (3000+ words) on topics related to payments, technology companies, and entrepreneurship are another way Stripe serves their community. They've also launched "Stripe Press," a publishing house dedicated to great ideas and books for makers.
Stripe excels in one more area: Design.
Documentation, landing pages, and even tweets are beautifully designed. Stripe is devoted to the pursuit of design excellence. Good design instills trust.
5. SEO, SEO, SEO
It is not enough to come up with content ideas and write articles.
Your content strategy needs to drive business results. This is where SEO comes in.
Content marketing generates 3x the number of leads as paid search ads per dollar spent.
You need to make sure that your content is optimized for search intents, or nobody will ever see your content and it won't matter how well-researched or insightful it is.
71% of B2B buyers say that they read a blog during their buying journey.
Zapier's SEO driven content gets 6 million visitors each month
Zapier's go-to content recipe is content about apps and productivity with a focus on SEO optimization. If this gets them 6M visitors per month, why try anything else?
"Link shortener", "screenshot on mac" are some keywords that Zapier ranks for.
Zapier has found a way to dominate SERPs through the listicle blogs (blogs made up of a series of facts, tips, or examples around a particular theme) by targeting keywords that have a high search volume.
SEO isn't particularly sexy, but it works. Over To You
It's estimated that there are over 1.7 billion websites on the planet, and the primary way we discover new websites is through search. If you're looking to acquire customers through your content marketing strategy, you cannot rely on dumb luck.
With every company out there competing for your reader's attention, it is the need of the hour to stand out.
In a world of mediocrity, even a little bit of effort goes a long way in standing out from the crowd.
We will leave you with these words from Kevin Ho:

Physical Client Markets
Bond Market – A market place the place patrons and sellers are engaged within the trade of debt securities, often in the form of bonds is called a bond market. A bond is a contract signed by each the parties the place one party guarantees to return money with interest at fixed intervals. Non Physical Markets/Virtual markets – In such markets, consumers buy goods and companies through internet. In such a market the consumers and sellers do not meet or work together bodily, instead the transaction is finished through web.
Banks, Cos In For A Demand Bounce Amongst High Picks
The market establishes the prices for items and different services. Supply is created by the sellers, while demand is generated by buyers. Markets attempt to discover some balance in worth when supply and demand are themselves in steadiness. Black markets can even exist in developed economies as nicely.
This is prevalent when costs control the sale of certain services or products, particularly when demand is high. When demand for concert tickets are excessive, scalpers will step in and sell them at inflated prices on the black market. But that balance can in itself be disrupted by elements other than worth together with incomes, expectations, know-how, the price of production, and the number of buyers and sellers available in the market. A market is a place where two events can collect to facilitate the trade of goods and services. The market may be physical like a retail outlet, the place folks meet face-to-face, or virtual like an online market, where there isn’t a direct physical contact between patrons and sellers.
So, the customer has all the power to set the value of those particular services and products. Here client turns into the price setter and the agency becomes the value taker. Market dimension may be given when it comes to the number of buyers and sellers in a selected market or by way of the whole trade of cash in the market, typically annually . When given in terms of cash, market measurement is often termed “market value”, but in a way distinct from market worth of individual merchandise. For one and the same goods, there could also be different market values at the production stage, the wholesale degree and the retail level. For instance, the worth of the worldwide illicit drug marketplace for the yr 2003 was estimated by the United Nations to be US$13 billion on the production level, $94 billion on the wholesale stage and US$322 billion at the retail stage . There exists a popular thought, especially amongst economists, that free markets would have a structure of an ideal competition.
The logic behind this thought is that market failure is regarded as caused by other exogenic methods, and after eradicating those exogenic systems (“liberating” the markets) the free markets might run with out market failures. For a market to be competitive, there should be greater than a single purchaser or vendor.
Idioms And Phrases With Market
It has been advised that two people may trade, however it takes a minimum of three persons to have a market so that there is competition in a minimum of certainly one of its two sides. However, aggressive markets–as understood in formal financial concept–rely on a lot bigger numbers of each patrons and sellers. A market with a single seller and multiple consumers is a monopoly. A market with a single purchaser and a number of sellers is a monopsony. These are “the polar opposites of perfect competition”.
Thus based on this view, capitalists are not enhancing the steadiness of their team versus the group of consumer-employees, so the market system wants a “referee” from exterior that balances the sport. In this second framework, the role of a “referee” of the market system is normally to be given to a democratic authorities. Markets are arenas in which buyers and sellers can gather and work together. A market in a state of excellent competitors is necessarily characterised by a high variety of energetic consumers and sellers.

For the last 18 months, people all over the world have relied on digital services to navigate the pandemic. With normal routines and behaviours suddenly put on hold during lockdown, people turned to applications for virtually everything. From buying groceries, and ordering food, to working and learning remotely, and accessing critical healthcare and public services.
Beyond these ‘essentials’, applications have also supported people’s emotional and physical wellbeing by connecting them with loved ones (through videoconferencing platforms and messaging tools), helping them keep up with fitness programs (with virtual exercise classes), and enjoy social interactions (through online quizzes, virtual happy hours and much more).
In a new AppDynamics report, 'The App Attention Index 2021: Who takes the rap for the app?', 95% of respondents from Singapore stated that digital services have positively impacted their lives during the pandemic, enabling them to get through this challenging period, to cope with the uncertainty, and function normally in most areas of their lives.
Consumers get a taste for the ‘total application experience’
Throughout the pandemic, people in Singapore have used more applications, to do more things. Overall usage is up a massive 30% compared with 2019. According to social media consultancy We Are Social’s 'Digital 2021' report, people in Singapore downloaded 240 million apps in 2020—mind boggling when you consider that the population is under 6 million.
This means consumers have increasingly interacted with the very best applications and enjoyed the most intuitive and personalised experiences. They’ve seen what leading brands have done to support customers during the pandemic and, unsurprisingly, they now expect this level of quality and service from all applications.
The App Attention Index 2021 reveals that consumers are now seeking the ‘total application experience’—a high-performing, reliable, digital service, which is simple, secure, helpful, and fun to use. And they want these applications to be personalised with their preferences and add real value to their lives.
Expectations soar and tolerance dissolves
With people now hugely reliant on applications and many having enjoyed incredible digital experiences over the past 18 months, expectations have risen dramatically.
Consumers now demand more from their applications across a wide range of performance and functionality areas, including reliability and security, and the personalisation of digital services.
Tellingly, when their experiences fall short of these heightened expectations, people are reacting more strongly than before. So much so that 67% of consumers in Singapore reported that their expectation of digital services has changed forever, and they won’t tolerate poor performance anymore.
For many people, it’s become personal. They feel disrespected by brands that don’t provide them with the level of digital experience they believe they should be receiving, and they’re unforgiving when it happens.
The research shows that people are far more likely to take decisive action when they encounter a sub-optimal digital experience than they were two years ago, immediately deleting the application or switching to a competitor without hesitation.
Brands get the blame, whatever the issue
Alarmingly for brands, consumers immediately blame the application when they encounter a problem, regardless of the cause.
Application owners have always been responsible for performance issues directly related to the application—whether that’s pages loading slowly, poor response times, downtime, or security failures. But now they’re also blamed for external factors outside the application—such as bad internet connectivity, 4G/5G mobile network issues, slow payment gateways or technical issues with third party plug-ins.
Consumers are making no exceptions—78% of people in Singapore believe the buck stops with the brand to ensure that the digital service or application works perfectly.
What’s more, there are no second chances for brands when it comes to delivering world-class digital experiences. The majority of people will give an application only one opportunity to impress them and if it doesn’t, then they’ll go elsewhere.
Full-stack observability with business context is essential to meet heightened expectations
For brands and application owners, the need to deliver faultless and frictionless digital experiences at all times, has reached new heights. They’re operating in an environment where even the most minor performance issue could mean they lose previously loyal customers forever.
As if this monumental level of pressure wasn’t enough, application owners—and in particular the technologists responsible for managing application performance—also have to deal with crippling complexity in the IT department, across an ever more sprawling IT estate. It’s a huge challenge but one that technologists must overcome so their organisations can succeed in a digital-first economy.
In order to do so, technologists urgently need real-time visibility into IT performance up and down the IT stack, from customer-facing applications right through to core infrastructure. This level of genuine, full-stack observability is vital for technologists to quickly identify and fix issues.
But even with full-stack observability in place, technologists still need a way to cut through the deluge of IT performance data coming at them from across their IT infrastructure to understand which issues matter most.
This is why it’s so important to have a business lens on IT performance, to pinpoint the issues that have the biggest impact on customers and the business, so that technologists can direct their time and skills in the right places. By connecting full-stack observability with real-time business metrics, technologists can optimise application performance at all times and ensure they’re able to meet the heightened expectations of today’s discerning consumers.

Our margin facility provides you with the option of purchasing eligible securities without necessarily having the funds for the full cost of the investment. This buying power is based on the cumulative loan value of the investments in the account, which in turn is based on each investment's value and quality. It is important to remember that there is a risk associated with purchasing or shorting securities on margin, as fluctuation in market value of securities could lead to losses in excess of the capital invested.
Short privilege allows you to ‘sell’ securities that you do not own. The premise behind this strategy is that you anticipate a decrease in the price of a stock and want to profit by selling the stock short and then buying it back at a later date, at a lower price. This feature is not intended for novice investors, as adverse price movements could lead to theoretically unlimited loss.
Tax-Free Savings Account
The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is a registered savings account that enables you to earn investment income tax-free, subject to certain conditions and limitations. A US TFSA comes with all the tax advantages of a regular TFSA, but is denominated in US currency. This feature allows you to trade US securities without worrying about fees from forced foreign currency conversions.

A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is a registered account that is intended for tax-advantaged savings for retirement.

Registered Retirement Income Fund
A RRIF account allows you to roll over investments from an RRSP, as an RRSP cannot be kept after the age of 71. No contributions can be made to RRIF, and a minimum annual withdrawal, based on age, is required each year. The payments made to you from your RRIF are taxable, but investment gains in a RRIF are tax-deferred until they are withdrawn.
Locked-in RRSP (LIRA)
A LIRA account is designed to hold accumulated pension benefits from a former employer, as government regulations do not permit you to convert your pension into cash. The investments are “locked in,” meaning that unlike a regular RRSP, they cannot be cashed out until a specified retirement age. Another important distinction between regular RRSPs and LIRAs is that once funds have been transferred from a company pension plan to a LIRA, further contributions cannot be made.
Registered Life Income Fund (LIF)
A LIF account is a form of RRIF to which you may transfer your locked-in retirement funds from a LIRA or a registered pension plan, if permitted by the pension legislation governing the locked-in funds. A LIF provides the pension plan member with the flexibility to defer the purchase of a life annuity until the end of the year, or the year in which they turn 80.

Beyond being a go-to channel for your customers, live chat can also impact your bottom line. Adding live chat to your website can spike your conversions by 12% and boost your revenue by 48% per chat hour.
If you’re already using live chat to help keep customers content, then you’re already ahead of many of your competitors. But with so many companies now embracing live chat features on their sites, you need to make sure your solution goes beyond most of the solutions in your sector.
From setting predefined responses for instantaneous response times to putting processes in place to make sure questions go to the right team members, there are several ways you can impress visitors with your live-chat experience. Read on for four of our top live chat tips to optimise your offering.
1. Meet Your Customer’s Need for an Instant Response in Live Chat Conversations
Customers hate to wait. 5-10 minutes is the longest most people will wait for a response. Predefined live-chat responses, which you can set up ahead of time, can instantly provide customers with answers to some of your most FAQs.
These responses can be pre-written and delivered with a single click by your customer service team. Predefined live-chat responses not only cut down on wait times for your customers but also reduce the workload for busy customer service reps.
2. Help Guide Your Target Audience Along the Customer Journey With Live Chat Support
In 2021, most businesses see the customer journey as more of a zigzag, rather than the smooth, linear process mapped out in online blogs in the early 2000s. Prospects frequently dip in and out of their interactions with your brand.
From finding you on Instagram, the average could-be-customer may then: skim a blog post, ask for recommendations from their colleagues, watch YouTube video teardowns of similar products, and then read your testimonial or FAQ pages.
However, with a proactive live chat solution that utilises data to track your prospects' omnichannel customer journey, you can use digital conversations to help draw your prospects towards the close.
For example, you can monitor customers to discover which pages they’ve previously viewed on your site or how many times they have visited. This can give you insights into how far along your customers are in the customer journey and the kind of advice or support they may need in the form of a conversation over live chat.
In addition, you can also monitor exit intent and trigger a chat conversation when a visitor is just about to leave your website — offering support or a unique discount code to help increase your conversion rates.
3. Let Customers Chat With the Right Agents With Skills-Based Routing
Take the pressure off your customer service agents and make sure your customers get the expert help they need as quickly as possible with skills-based routing. You can use skills-based routing to make sure that agents are matched to customer conversations based on their skills, expertise, and availability. With advanced skills-based routing, you can also match customers to agents based on language, brand, store, or channel.
With skills-based routing, customers are automatically connected to the agent that can best help them. Offer the best experience possible.
4. Solve Problems Faster by Using Customer Data
There’s nothing more annoying than being transferred from customer service rep to customer service rep as you wait for your issue to be dealt with. Being ‘passed from rep to rep’ is one of the most irritating things customers say they can experience while dealing with customer services, 54% of people would take a day spent in wet socks over having to repeat themselves.
Make sure your customers don’t have to repeat themselves and take the stress and pressure off your support team by making sure your reps have the customer data they need as soon as they start the chat. When you use a customer service solution, such as Mobile Service Cloud, all relevant data is displayed next to the customer conversation for your reps to review.
This data includes all previous conversations from any channel, the customer’s purchase history, and information on any previously visited pages. In essence, Mobile Service Cloud offers your reps a full customer profile that they can use to guide conversations and boost customer satisfaction rates.
Upgrade Your Live Chat Support
Live chat is becoming increasingly popular with customers and prospects looking for answers and solutions. From fast response times to not having to talk to someone over the phone, live chat is a convenient solution for many people.
But with more and more companies discovering the value of live chat, both in terms of customer satisfaction and conversion rates, you can help stay a cut above by implementing these four tips for an enjoyable, seamless customer service experience.

After NAFTA takes effect, Mexican produce products such as tomatoes with lower price because their lower labor costs which threat to the United Stated producers. The United Stated tomatoes producers in Florida are worried about Mexican robbed their business because of their lower labor costs. Therefore, The United Stated producers asked for the government to set up a minimum floor price for tomatoes from Mexico. This can prevent Mexican producers to lowering their prices below the floor to gain share in the United States market (Hill & Hult, 2011, p283).
I think this is consistent with NAFTA principals. The purposes of NAFTA are to eliminate barriers to trade, create conditions for fair competition, increase investment opportunities and provide adequate

On May 4, 2009, the Obama Administration released a summary of its tax change proposals. On May 11, 2009, the Treasury Department issued the General Explanations of the Administration's Fiscal Year 2010 Revenue Proposals (the 'Green Book') to provide the details of the proposed changes. The proposed changes summarized below, if enacted, would have a profound adverse impact on U.S. multinational companies. These changes would generally be effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010.
Deferral of Expense Deduction. Under current law, a U.S. corporation generally may deduct expenses allocated to foreign sources before repatriating and paying U.S. taxes on the associated foreign earnings. The Obama Administration's proposal would require a U.S. corporation to defer deductions (other than research and development expenses) allocated or apportioned to foreign earnings until the associated earnings are repatriated. This proposal was previously introduced in 2007 by House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (H.R. 3970). If enacted, it could severely limit the benefits of keeping earnings offshore.
Foreign Tax Credits. Under current law, a U.S. corporation is not required to aggregate foreign taxes and earnings and profits of all of its foreign subsidiaries. The Obama Administration's proposal would require both computations be made on a consolidated basis in determining available foreign tax credits, thus largely eliminating the benefits of repatriating highly taxed foreign earnings while keeping other foreign earnings offshore. A similar provision was also in H.R. 3970. Further, the proposal would prevent the separation of creditable foreign taxes from the associated foreign income. Such inappropriate separation could occur, for example, by having a foreign group of entities that are characterized in the United States differently from the treatment in foreign jurisdictions. This proposed change is similar to that in a proposed Treasury regulation issued in 2006. In addition, under the proposal, certain taxpayers subject to foreign levy (such as levy imposed only on oil income) may not be able to claim credit for the levy if the foreign country has no generally imposed income tax.
Check-the-Box Election. Under the entity classification rules, a wholly owned foreign entity can be disregarded for U.S. tax purposes by making a check-the-box election. The Green Book states that this election has been used to migrate foreign earnings to low-tax jurisdictions, thereby avoiding current income inclusion by the U.S. parent company. Under the Obama Administration's proposal, generally a second- or lower-tier wholly owned foreign entity may be treated as a disregarded entity only if the single owner and that entity are created or organized in the same foreign country. The change would treat single-member entities that had made the check- the-box election prior to 2011 as being converted into corporations.
The Obama Administration's proposals described in the Green Book are far-reaching. It is difficult to predict what measures would eventually be enacted as proposed by the Administration.
To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, we inform you that, unless explicitly provided otherwise, any U.S. federal tax advice contained in this communication (including any attachments) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.

Markets continued their rise and did so in style, gaining sharply on two of the five trading days and losing on two days with one being sideways. All good things must come to an end, even if it is temporary. The same happened on Friday and was a wake-up alarm for investors as well.
Markets rose sharply on Friday and it appeared that we would hit the 60,000-mark on BSESENSEX quite soon but it wasn't so. Markets corrected quite sharply midway and failed to recover. Volumes were high and it appears that we are in for a short-term correction at the bare minimum. This is not to suggest in any manner that the current rally is over.
BSESENSEX gained 710.82 points or 1.22 per cent to close at 59,015.89 points. NIFTY gained 215.90 points or 1.24 per cent to close at 17,585.15 points. The broader indices saw BSE100, BSE200 and BSE500 gain 1.25 per cent, 1.27 per cent and 1.25 per respectively. BSEMIDCAP was up 1.38 per cent while BSESMALLCAP was up 1.31 per cent. The closing highs on the benchmark indices were made on Thursday at 59,141.16 points and 17,629.5 points respectively. The intraday highs were made on Friday at 59,737.32 points and 17,792.95 points. The difference between the high of the day and the close was very significant at 722 points on BSESENSEX and 207 points on NIFTY. If one looks at it at a broader level, it is equal to the weekly gains made on the benchmark indices, a point to be kept in mind for the coming week.
The Indian Rupee gained 2 paisa or 0.03 per cent to close at Rs 73.48 to the US Dollar. Dow Jones has failed to make any fresh headway in the previous week and lost 22.84 points or 0.07 per cent to close at 34,584.88 points.
The week gone by had plenty of action in the market, primary markets and economic news. Zee Entertainment had a stormy AGM and two of its directors stepped down from the board before the AGM. The largest shareholder of the company has requestioned for an EGM and wants the promoter director to step down from the company. The share rallied from Rs 182.95 to Rs 300 before closing at Rs 255.30, a gain of Rs 72.35 or 39.55 per cent. Clearly this stock would be in the news for some time to come.
Zomato Limited, cofounder Gaurav Gupta, who was the face of the company when it went public has resigned from the company. They have also closed the groceries business as well. To create a controversy and keep the company in the news rightly or wrongly, they announced the resignation on a blog rather than the stock exchange website. On being sent a clarification note from the exchange they painted a picture where they are a highly compliant company and need not inform the exchange as Gaurav was not a KMP. A cofounder not being a KMP is indeed surprising. As luck would have it, the food app delivery platform was in news as GST would be charged effective 1st of January 2022.
All Cargo Logistics which sought to delist its shares from the stock exchanges found public shareholders vote against the resolution and defeat the same. There were 44.66 lakh votes in favour of delisting and an overwhelming 339.03 lakh votes against delisting. This clearly shows that shareholder activism is picking up and gone are the days when management could get just about anything proposed and passed.
In primary markets news shares of Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Limited listed and had a quiet beginning debuting at Rs 542.30 against an issue price of Rs 531. They closed day one at Rs 619.30, a gain of Rs 88.30 or 16.63 per cent. They gained further during the week to close at Rs 627.35, a gain of 18.15 per cent.
The other share to list was from Ami Organics Limited which debuted at Rs 902 against an issue price of Rs 610. The share closed listing day at 934.55, a gain of Rs 324.55 or 53.20 per cent. The share caught fancy with investors and touched a high of Rs 1,345.70 before closing at Rs 1,215.05, a gain of Rs 605.05 or 99.19 per cent.
The offer for sale of 172.44 lakh shares in a price band of Rs 734-744 from Sansera Engineering Limited was subscribed 11.47 times. The QIB portion was subscribed 26.47 times, HNI portion was subscribed 11.37 times and Retail portion was subscribed 3.15 times. The issue received 7.74 lakh applications.
There was a lot of economic news as well with financial bids received for divestment of Air India.
Further the government announced a PLI scheme for the automobile industry which would also include drones. They also announced the setting up of 'Bad Bank' and have announced some details for the same. This would be keenly watched as it would give an opportunity to help the ailing PSU banks and tackle their NPA's. The BSEBANKEX index was the top sectoral gainer and was up 3.46 per cent for the week.
The primary issue from Paras Defence and Space Technologies Limited is tapping the capital markets from Tuesday the 21st of September till Thursday the 23rd of September. The issue consists of a fresh issue for Rs 140.6 crs and an offer for sale of 17,24,490 equity shares in a price band of Rs 165-175. The company reported revenues of Rs 144.60 crore for the year ended March 2021 and a net profit of Rs 15.78 crore. The EPS was Rs 5.55 for the year. The PE multiple for the offer is 29.72-31.53 times its March 21 earnings.
The company has an order book of Rs 304 crore which would be executed in the next 15-18 months if not earlier. The company is into the business of designing, developing and manufacturing a wide range of defence and space engineering products and solutions. They are a leading 'IDDM' indigenously designed, developed and manufactured company. Through their subsidiaries they have established worldwide relationships for drone applications used in surveillance and various other applications. The company is into space optics, EMP and many other critical applications. The size of the company is currently small but has the potential to multiply its top line going forward.
On the Covid-19 front, the world saw 22,89,52,022 patients, 47,00,279 deaths and 20,55,51,116 patients who had recovered. In India we saw 3,34,48,163 patients, 4,44,869 deaths and 3,26,71,167 patients who had recovered. Compared to the previous week, the world saw 38,38,905 new patients, 61,659 deaths and 38,97,832 patients who had recovered. In India we saw 2,11,242 new patients, 2,181 deaths and 2,61,821 patients who had recovered. The people who have been vaccinated in India saw a sharp jump with the number touching 80.43 crore people who have been vaccinated. This includes both first and second vaccine and compares favourably with the 73.82 crore vaccinated people last week.
Coming to the markets, it would be a choppy and volatile week and one where there would be a negative bias at least for the earlier part of the week. Readers would recall that the markets were range bound at the end of July at the 53,000 mark on the BSESENSEX and 15.7K mark on the NIFTY, before they broke out and in under six weeks gained more than 10 per cent. This was a phenomenal gain and needs to be digested before any new gains could be made. I therefore believe we would have a very rough ride from hereon and one would have to be very careful.
The September series is up 950 points or 5.7 per cent and that is a very healthy gain at this point with two weeks to go. Bulls would like to build on it but bears will fight back. Sell on rallies and buy on sharp dips should be the order of the day in the coming week. If we correct substantially, we could see markets improving towards the end of the coming week. In case markets are net sideways, the anticipated rally may not take place immediately. Time to book profits and have some cash for a rainy day.

Recent news had it, that thousands of WordPress sites with an administrator username set to ‘admin’ or ‘Admin’ were hacked via large scale brute force attacks. A majority of these attacks were dictionary based attacks that attempted to find the password for the username ‘admin’ by trying more than thousands, or sometimes million dictionary words.
Apart from such brute force attacks, a large number of WordPress sites also end up getting compromised due to the use of outdated WordPress core files, themes and plugins.
WordPress is the most popular blogging platform and content management system today. According to the survey website W3Techs, it powers more than 18% of all the websites on the internet. Being such a popular platform, it is a regular target for hackers who find and exploit security loopholes in the system.
If your company blog is hacked, you stand the risk of losing all the hard work and efforts you spent on designing, developing, and managing it. A hacked blog can suffer from loss of content, stolen user data, corrupt files, downtime, and a blow to your digital marketing strategy.
So how do you secure your blog from such attacks?
Here are some easy security measures you can take to keep your WordPress site safe:
1) Delete the ‘admin’ user
Hackers can easily find sites that use the default username ‘admin’. This gives them half the information to gain access to your blog. If your username is set to ‘admin’ make sure you change it immediately.
Step 2: Log out of your WordPress dashboard and then login again with the new user details.
Step 3: Go back to the Users section and delete the profile with username ‘admin’.
2) Delete all defaults
Hackers can easily find sites that have default WordPress content on the site. This content is used by hackers to locate WordPress sites and then hack into them.
Make sure you have deleted the default ‘Hello World’ post and the ‘Sample Page’ from your blog.
3) Use the latest version of WordPress
Running your blog on an outdated version of WordPress makes it vulnerable to attacks from hackers.
WordPress regularly rolls out newer versions of the software with improvements to the user interface, design, and most importantly, security updates.
Every time a newer version of WordPress is released, you will get a notification in the dashboard screen of your admin panel. Updating is just a one click process and you shouldn’t face any problems with this. But most importantly, before you update WordPress, make sure you take a back up of your blog.
4) Ensure theme and plug-in compatibility
Outdated themes and plug-ins open up another easy entry for hackers into your WordPress site.
Every time a WordPress update is released, it is necessary to ensure that the changes and updates are made to your theme files; to make them compatible with the latest version of WordPress. Also, ensure that all plug-ins on your website are updated.
5) Take a back up of your database
It is very important to take a back up of your blog on a timely basis. This can be done either manually or by using a plug-in like WP-DB- Backup. Even if you follow all the necessary security measures, you can never be assured of 100% security. But knowing that you have a back up of your entire blog can keep you at ease.
6) Limit login attempts
Setting a limit to the number of times one can login to your blog from a particular IP is the best way to protect your site from brute force attacks. You can easily do this by installing a plug-in like Limit Login Attempts.
While these are just some basic security measures, there are several other technical modifications you can make to ensure higher levels of security.
WordPress is no doubt the best platform to build your website or company blog. It gives you the freedom and power to control the content and design of your website more easily than ever. But like Peter Parkar’s uncle in Spider Man said – ‘With great power comes great responsibility’, you need to take responsibility of the security of your blog!
And if it gets too difficult for you to mange, you can always hire the services of a digital marketing company or social media agency that has experts who can help you with designing and maintaining your blog as well as drafting out the right kind of content that will resonate with your target audience.
How do you manage your company blog? How many of the above security measures have you already taken? Share your experiences in the comments!

We have been programmed with a belief that if you’ve got a fantastic life and you die, you get a chance to go to heaven, which is what the produce heaven is. Anyone’s individual thing. I talked to you, you give me your definition of paradise. You listen to my respect and listen, somebody else are all different. All of us are creative vision. So heaven is a creative place and I go, so what’s relevant. I go, after I began to understand and things, first of all, I never thought in spirituality, but the science show utilizing quantum physics and epigenetics, we are a field, an energy field playing through this body. What I learned through this as first of all, there, there’s no such thing as passing of who we are, there’s death of the body, but the body is like a virtual reality soup that an energy field that is different for every one of us is functioning in this body.
My, uh, self receptors on my cell switch distinguished me as being different from you respond to a different environmental sign, then your self receptors. So each of us is getting in the manner of a broadcast that is running. This biology consciousness is running the biology consciousness. Isn’t physical, it’s an energy. Because the response was this. The belief that if you do really well and you persevere, and when you die, you are going to go to this place called paradise. And I go consider this, that we were born in to heaven, we came here to create. That is what we’re doing. And I say, when we are creating it right, paradise on earth this year when we’re creating a wrong struggle is here. And all of a sudden, I say, oh my God, do not wait until you perish. That you’re going to go to heaven.
You are this to set. This is where you came to create. What do you need to create? Love Corona IRAs. You can create a thing you desire. This is creation place. But if you don’t know that your creations are being manipulated, then we become a victim of a world out of control. And we were the creators we gave into other people’s beliefs. And then we now are producing not with our fantasies and desires. We’re creating with the app. Where is the app taking us right now. The solution is fear. Shut down. Loss of community breakdown of the system. I go, we could learn or not, that’s it. Take your power back. You’re extremely powerful.
Every human. This is a truth. Every human first seven years is, uh, is download a hypnosis. The mind of a child under seven is in a lower vibrational frequency. When you place wires on a person’s mind, you read electroencephalograph reading brain activity. A child below seven has a lower vibration than understanding. It’s called feta. Oh, that is how kids play with a tea party with mud pies. But to them, it is a true thing. A child rides, a broom, it is a horse it’s that is theta imagination. And the concept is this, before you can become aware, if you do not have any apps, what are you going to be conscious of? So nature makes the first seven decades, how, what kind of programs are required to live on this world? I say, how do you get them? You just watch your, watch your parents, your watch, your siblings and your neighborhood, because you have to learn how many hundred million rules think about it.
There are rules. I teach a baby, these rules. I say, you don’t need to seven years that just that observant and download it. Look, this isn’t new. I mean, there’s the famous book, rich dad, poor dad, and basically said, you come from a poor family and you are able to struggle your entire life and try and get rich, but you are not going to make it. And if you come from a wealthy family, it might be stupid your entire life and make it not because it was thinking, but it was unconscious behavior that has been downloaded from wealthy families into kids, which is unconscious. So they’re, they are making the right moves unconsciously. If they engage their conscious mind and they look stupid, but it’s unconscious. And that’s the exact same thing with poor people, poor people have beliefs from the family, oh, you can not make it.
Life’s a struggle.
And if that is the program, you receive the 95% of the day, you will sabotage yourself. And that’s why poor people stay poor. And rich people stay rich because the programming 95 percent of our life, this is a fact comes from those programs in the subconscious every day, only about 5 percent of the life. Are you currently using conscious, which is creative 5%. So your life is being lived, despite the fact that you think you’re living your life. Exactly. And you don’t see it called subconscious below conscious and the Jesuits for 400 years, they were boasts and people did not understand. They say, give me a child until it is seven. And I will show you the man they have been saying that for 400 years. Cause they knew seven years was the program period and 95 percent of your life then will be anything that program is.
The things you like that come into your life, come in because you have a program that supports them. But whatever you struggle with work hard at place a whole lot of work into making it happen. Why you are working so hard. Inevitably you have a program that does not support that conclusion and you are trying to reevaluate the program. So, uh, you don’t have to do a lot of psychologist and psychology stuff. You just look at your life and say, where am I fighting? Because wherever you’re struggling, necessarily is a program on your subconscious that does not support that destination. You’ve been on the lookout for. The conscious mind is creative and can learn in numerous ways. Read a self-help book, go to a lecture, listen to the program and aware, mind’s likely to get some awareness.
And I go, yeah, but subconscious mind doesn’t learn that way. I go, Ryan. Doesn’t subconscious mind learns in two basic ways, naturally hypnosis, that is the first seven decades. And after age seven, how do you put new programs in repetition clinic? You need to drive a car? You didn’t loan. Discover how by just getting into the chair and put the key in. You had to practice driving the car. You want to learn, uh, the alphabet. How often did you go from a to Zed? Uh, you know, try to go to, is that until you can complete it, once you finished it, you did not need to return and do it again. So two phases you want to train the subconscious mind hypnosis, uh, repetition. That is bandied about called fake it till you make it. If you are not a happy person, I say you are interested in being a happy person. Then repeat all the time. I’m happy. I say, well, you don’t look happy or anything. He said, no, I w who am I speaking to by repetition? I’m talking to subconscious. If subconscious gets, I am happy and 95% of your life comes out of that. Subconscious. There’ll be a point when the subconscious got, I’m happy. You didn’t have to say it again. It’ll be automatic. And that’s why we see people do affirmations and gratitude journals and stuff. Because if you do that daily, it’s repetitive. But that’s the that is. The secret part is putting a sticky note on the refrigerator is more like a suggestion, but it’s not a repetition. So it doesn’t work really well. But you have to do repetition is a, it’s a habit it is making habit. So you’ve got to do something in the sense of repeating it, repeating it, repeating it to make it work.
If you don’t like the plan, you don’t like the way it is turning out. Well, then you can re-program it. And you could get the things you want. The film, the matrix is not science fiction. It is a documentary. This is the entire story of this matrix matrix. You have been programmed. We can have a red pill and escape the program. Okay? Falling in love is the equivalent of taking the red pill. Biologically scientists have studied what is called mind drifting. I said, what is mind wondering? Okay? Uh, and the significance of that’s when the conscious mind is staying in front, you are a complete control, fantasies, wants, what you want, conscious thoughts, creative you’re in control. But the moment your conscious mind takes off into a thought or begins thinking or whatever happening.
Uh, it lets go the wheel, the autopilot takes over.
Okay. So the idea is that, if your mind is wandering, then you’re being run by the subconscious mind. Uh, and it turns out this is extremely negative when your mind is straight forward and consciousness, you’re, uh, you’re controlling the car. So I say falling in love has been demonstrated biologically to be equivalent to the red pill, because what it does is it keeps you, what do they call mindful? Keeps you conscious. Look, you’ve been on the lookout for this partner, your entire life. There are now in front of your face. This isn’t the time to go considering, I think it’s designed to be, oh, look what I got right here in front of me. And I say, well, consider it this way. Your life could suck every day, daily, daily, every day. Then you meet this person in 24 hours later.
It’s paradise on earth, four hours later. Oh my God. I’m so in love. You know, even the job is not so bad anymore in the food tastes good. And the music is so far better and love and love and enjoy. I go, what the hell happened? You had all of this negative, negative. And then in 24 hours, you have this heaven on earth. That is what falling in love is at that moment, you stop playing the program. Now you’re working from conscious mind, which is imaginative, which by definition is wishes and desires. What the heck do you want out of your life? If you answer that question, it’s a creative answer. And by definition, it’s conscious. So your wishes and desires are in your conscious mind and a normal person’s life. 5% of the day, you’re moving toward that.
95% of your playing with the program. You fall in love 100. It was actually 90%, I think is the number 90% from conscious mind, 90 percent of the day, you are now operating from creative wishes and wants like, oh look, I said, your life sucked all the way up. And then 24 hours of working on fantasies and desires and not enjoying the program, turned earth into heaven for you at the moment. And then you go, well, how come the honeymoon does not last I go, because inevitably, you still have to consider things, your job, your chores, your requirement’s what would you have to do. And at some point, once you start thinking, then the conscious mind is closed off. And guess what shows up all those behaviours in the subconscious mind that were negative 70% and your partner, remember your partner and you fall in love, same time.
Both of you working from conscious mind with wishes and desires. And all of a sudden you begin believing, and then this behaviour shows up.
This was your mother, your father, or anything thing you learned. And your spouse’s like, where the hell did that come from? Who are you? It was like, where did this come from? I haven’t, you know, we’ve been in his honeymoon. I have never seen that behaviour. If you wish to play that behavior on the first date, then maybe we would not have a second day, but now it shows up. And I say, why did it show up? Because I stopped being mindful. Okay. So how do you teach people to maintain the honeymoon living is to change the subconscious program. And it is simple for reason, reasoning, a simple conscious mind wishes and needs, subconscious mind program. Well, what if you took the wishes and wants and made those apps, then guess what?
You don’t even need to consider it. You will automatically 95 percent of the day be playing behaviors to manifest Joe’s wishes and desires. So reprogramming the subconscious with fantasies and desires means you don’t even need to think about it. So once you fall in love, the cocktail of chemicals coming from your mind are things that enhance your vitality, your life make you healthier, happier, and joy. I go the same person. If they open their eyes and see something which scares them, none of those love chemicals will come out of the brain. At the moment, stress, hormones and inflammatory agents are going to be released by the brain. All of a sudden, I said, well, did you change the chemical makeup, the culture medium. I move, yeah. Medium control the fate of the cells, the composition of your blood controls, the destiny of your cells, the composition of blood, based on the image in your mind, change the image you alter the chemistry.
Virtually everybody has the same fantasies and desires to be in love, to be joyful, to be healthy, to be peaceful. That’s a standard wishing desire of everyone. And if we all lived with those fantasies and desires, this world would change overnight. We’d have harmony. We’d have peace. We’d have nature a community environment, but until we change those subconscious programs and we become victims of this program rather than creators of our own life. And when this is understood and people may say, wait, I have a choice. I say, you do. You can play the programs you are playing, or you can rewrite those programs and take power back. And that is our destination.
Hi, I’m Bruce Lipton, author of the bestselling books of biology belief, spontaneous development, and the honeymoon effect. You know, that knowledge is power, but more importantly, a lack of knowledge is a shortage of power. And science is revealing a completely different understanding of who we are. We have been programmed to be victims and science and quantum physics and the new science of epigenetics, especially reveal that we’re not victims, but we’re creators. So with the understanding of the new science, we can manifest heaven on earth. That would be our way of life. And in this regard, while I talk about this a lot, there’s a notion that pictures present a thousand words and a cartoon really represents countless words. And that’s why I am so excited and in gratitude to afterschool, because afterschool has taken the complexity of the words and made it at the simplicity of the pictures. And that’s how we can find out more knowledge, more energy. I hope this presentation enhances the quality and character of your life.

The mortgage is a banking product used to obtain the corresponding financing to acquire a generally real estate with the obligation to return the amount borrowed and interest in periodic instalments.
The mortgage is a bank product that often use to finance the purchase of a home.
The debtor will own the real estate while paying the corresponding amount, but if he defaults with his payment obligation, the creditor or lender will keep the mortgaged property as collateral for the loan. In other words, the property of the property guarantees the fulfilment of the obligation.
The mortgage loan formalises in a contract that establishes the debtor’s obligations and the conditions by which the loan will govern.
Additional Information: https://www.thenytimesblog.com
The main elements that make up a mortgage and that establish in the loan contract are the following:
Capital
Amount of money borrowed that must return through instalments or periodic payments.
Interest
It is the extra percentage that must pay annually for the granting of the loan. It can be a fixed or variable interest rate—the term for returning the capital and the related interests.
The most used mortgage classification is the one that differs depending on the interest rate establish:
Fixed-Rate Mortgage Loan: The monthly payment and the loan’s interest rate do not vary throughout the term. Variable Rate Mortgage Loan: It comprises the value of the reference index and a fixed spread. According to the reference index’s worth, the instalments’ amount update at each interest review (such as the Euribor). Mixed-Rate Mortgage Loan: This consists of applying a fixed interest rate for a period and a variable interest rate for the rest of the term.
But there are also other classifications and various types of mortgages, such as depending on the instalments (mortgages of regular instalment), the type of real estate (mortgages for bank flats), the target audience (mortgages for young people) or their nature ( reverse mortgages ).
It comprises three essential components: the principal (the amount of money lent through a loan).
The term (the time at which the loan’s repayment agree) and the interest rate (the additional percentage the person who received the loan must repay. The interest is the lender’s profit).

How to Select Baby Diapers?
Choosing the best baby diapers requires a lot of trial and error. Each diaper brand has its unique features on offer and parents use a combination of their criteria to arrive on the best baby diaper. Some common factors that may influence the buying decision of a parent worth respect to baby diapers are –
1. Absorbency power
Since each baby is unique a diaper that may hold a baby’s urine for several hours may get soiled soon when used on a baby who pees often. Some mothers don’t mind changing the diaper frequently during the day but want a diaper that will absorb the urine all through the night. All diaper brands mention the number of hours for its usage, and some even have a wetness indicator which suggests when it is the time to change. For people on the go, they may want to put off changing diapers frequently and look for maximum absorbency in diapers.
2. Price
Affordability is a prime factor when it comes to choosing the best baby diapers. Since diapers are used every day for at least the first two years of your baby’s life, you need to be well aware of the prices of various brands. Grab jumbo packs which usually are more economical and look out for exciting offers online. If you happen to equally like two brands, go for the one that costs less.
3. Fit
Since diapers are worn by babies most of the times, it is essential that they fit well. Covers of diaper packs indicate the weight of the baby they are designed. However, you will need to choose the best diaper basis for your baby’s shape as well. For instance, if an M sized diaper packs is apt for babies 7-12 kgs in weight, babies who are chubbier and short may find it tight.
4. Availability
Thankfully, online portals like Amazon and Flipkart have made it possible for most people to buy what they want online. You may not find all brands and variants everywhere, so it is always best to stock up with your preferred pack of diapers. If you don’t shop online, see what is conveniently available in your neighborhood medical store.
Choosing the right baby diaper is crucial in the baby’s initial years. You will spend quite a lot of money on buying baby diapers for at least the first two years. A comfortable, dry baby is happier and does not fuss unnecessarily, and minimum fuss ensures a parents’ peace of mind. Do check multiple brands to finally select one that fits your budgets and needs.

New antimicrobials on the horizon
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance poses a serious challenge to health care practitioners. Management and control of multidrug-resistant organisms should include good infection control practices, good antimicrobial stewardship programs and novel antimicrobials with new mechanisms of action.
Since 2000, only four new classes of antibiotics have come on the market. These include oxazolidinones, pleuromutilin, lipopeptides and a diarylquinoline called bedaquiline (Sirturo, Janssen Therapeutics). Bedaquiline is the first new drug to be developed for tuberculosis in several decades and could improve the management of MDR-TB and extremely drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) cases. Recognizing the need for new antibiotics, the FDA and the European Medical Association (EMA) have developed new policies to encourage development of new antimicrobials. In this review, we discuss only a few promising antibiotics that are on the horizon.
Beta-lactams and beta-lactamase inhibitors
There are new carbapenems in development that have expanded gram-positive activity while maintaining some gram-negative and anaerobic activity. Tomopenem (Daiichi Sankyo) has activity against methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus and has been studied in phase 2 clinical trials for treatment of skin and skin structure infections (SSSIs). Razupenem (Meiji Seika) and ME1036 (Forest Laboratories) have activity against MRSA and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Razupenem has undergone phase 2 clinical trials for SSSIs. ME1036 is in early development but will likely have a role in the treatment of severe pneumonia with bacteremia. Obi Nnedu George Pankey
A new oral carbapanem, Tebipenem (Meiji Seika), has undergone phase 2 clinical trials in Japan. It has activity against penicillin-resistant strains of
Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Escherichia coli. It will likely play a role in treatment of respiratory tract infections.
Avibactam (AstraZeneca) is a beta-lactamase inhibitor currently undergoing clinical trials as a combination with either aztreonam, ceftazidime or ceftaroline (Teflaro, Forest Laboratories). It is active against amp-C, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and
K. pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) beta-lactamases. Ceftazidime/avibactam is currently undergoing phase 2 trials for treatment of ceftazidime-resistant isolates. Ceftaroline/avibactam just complicated phase 2 clinical trials in comparison to doripenem (Doribax, Janssen) for treatment of urinary tract infection.
Three other new beta-lactamase inhibitors are in development: MK-7655 (Merck); ME1071 (Meiji Seika); and RPX7009 (Rempex). MK-7655 and ME1071 have been studied combined with carbapenems and appear to expand the in vitro activity of the carbapenem against resistant strains of gram-negative rods. MK-7655 shows activity against class A and class C carbapenemases when combined with imipenem (Primaxin, Merck) in vitro. ME1071 inhibits metallo-beta-lactamases in vitro and has been studied as a combination with ceftazidime and carbapenems. RPX7009 has activity against KPC-producing
K. pneumoniae isolates. The combination of RPX7009 and biapenem, a carbapenem, is currently in phase 1 clinical trials.
There also are new combinations with older beta-lactamase inhibitors such as ceftolozane/tazobactam (Cubist) that are undergoing investigation. Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that has been around as a combination with piperacillin. Ceftolozane is a relatively new cephalosporin that has activity against
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacteriaceae.
Ceftolozane/tazobactam has been successfully studied in phase 3 trials for UTIs, intra-abdominal infections and hospital-acquired pneumonia.
Ceftolozane/tazobactam will likely play an important role in the treatment of resistant
Pseudomonas and Enterobacteriaceae. Additional therapeutics in development
Dalbavancin (Durata Therapeutics) and oritavancin (The Medicines Company) are new glycopeptides that have undergone phase 3 trials. Both have lipophilic moieties that allow them to have substantially longer half lives than vancomycin, which allows less frequent dosing. Dalbavancin can be given once weekly, whereas oritavancin can be given once daily. Dalbavancin has undergone successful phase 3 trials for skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), and a new drug application has been submitted. Oritavancin is particularly promising because it has activity against vancomycin-intermediate
S. aureus, vancomycin-resistant S. aureus, daptomycin-resistant strains of S. aureus and VRE. Oritavancin is currently undergoing phase 3 trials for acute bacterial SSSIs.
Five new fluoroquinolones are in development. These include finafloxacin (MerLion Pharmaceuticals), delafloxacin (Rib-X Pharmaceuticals), avarofloxacin (Furiex Pharmaceuticals), zabofloxacin (Pacific Beach BioSciences) and nemonoxacin (TaiGen Biotechnology). Generally, they offer the same spectrum of activity as existing quinolones with few exceptions. Nemonoxacin has activity against ciprofloxacin-resistant strains of MRSA and is being evaluated in phase 3 clinic trials for treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Delafloxacin has activity against quinolone-resistant gram-negative organisms and is about to undergo phase 3 trials for bacterial SSSIs.
Eravacycline (Tetraphase) is a novel tetracycline that is available in oral and parenteral formulations. It has broad activity against gram-positive, gram-negative and anaerobic pathogens. Its spectrum of activity includes MRSA, methicillin-sensitive
S. aureus (MSSA), streptococci, enterococci, ESBL/carbapenem-resistant strains of gram-negative rods, Bacteroides fragilis and Clostridium difficile. It maintains activity against pathogens that have tetracycline-specific efflux pumps. Eravacycline has been evaluated for treatment of community-acquired intra-abdominal infections in phase 2 trials and had similar outcomes in comparison to ertapenem (Invanz, Merck).
Omadacycline (Paratek Pharmaceuticals) is another new tetracycline that is being evaluated for the treatment of SSTI. It has activity against gram-negatives, gram-positives and anaerobes, including
B. fragilis. Phase 2 trials have been completed for SSSIs showing comparable efficacy to linezolid (Zyvox, Pharmacia & Upjohn). Phase 3 trials are being planned.
Tedizolid (Trius Therapeutics) and radezolid (Rib-X Pharma) are two new oxazolidinones in the pipeline. Tedizolid has activity against resistant gram-positive organisms such as MRSA, VRE and linezolid-resistant strains of Enterococcus. Tedizolid has excellent oral bioavailability when given orally or parenterally and may have less antimitochondrial toxicity than linezolid. Tedizolid is currently undergoing phase 3 clinical trials for SSSIs. Radezolid maintains the gram-positive activity of other oxazolidinones and also has activity against some gram-negative organisms such as
H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis. Radezolid may have a role for treating pneumonias. Radezolid has successfully completely phase 2 clinical trials for community CAP and SSSIs. References:

Overview Of Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS
Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS was designed to provide the brain with some nutrients that may or may not be linked to strong cognitive function. The neurotransmitters in the brain help send signals throughout.
When these neurotransmitters are inhibited or limited in any way, it causes the brain to slow down and lose some of its ability. At least, that is the consensus as of today.
Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS is billed as a dietary supplement that can prevent this transmitter inhibition and keep the brain healthy as the user ages.
There are several
Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS reviews on the official website, but these may be a little biased. So today, we are going to take an even-handed look at this nootropic supplement.
How Does Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS Work?
Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS essentially puts all its eggs in one basket so to speak. Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS only contains one active ingredient. It is a phospholipid that has limited studies behind it.
It is thought that maybe this phospholipid could aid in the proliferation of neurotransmitters in the brain. The belief being, of course, that the more neurotransmitters active in the brain, the better the brain will work because it can send and receive cognitive signals at a higher clip.
Who Is The Manufacturer Of Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS?
If it turns out that this phospholipid isn’t very effective for cognitive function, Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS does still have at least one thing going for it. The manufacturer of this supplemental product is a company called Puritan’s Pride.
Puritan’s Pride has been around for a very long time, and their products are used and trusted all over the world. They make a wide variety of supplemental products ranging from the weight loss categories to the beauty category and even products for pets.
What Are The Ingredients In Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS?
The formula for Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS is quite simple. It consists of only one active ingredient, of which there is 100mg, and a host of inactive ingredients that are used to either make or stabilize the capsule that Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS comes in. These are the following:
Phosphatidylserine– This is the sole active ingredient in Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS. It is a phospholipid that is found naturally in meat, fish, and human cells.
It is also commonly found in brain cells, which has led some scientists to believe that it plays an important role in neurotransmitter function and proliferation.
If it does, it could have mild effects on memory improvement
[1]. However, there has been limited research done on this ingredient, and there are no definitive results as to its efficacy. Vegetable Glycerin– Vegetable glycerin is one of the inactive components in Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS. It appears in many pharmaceutical products as a capsule housing. Gelatin– Gelatin is also used to produce capsules for pharmaceutical products. It is often made from bovine animal sources. Science Behind Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS
The main ingredient in Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS has certainly undergone a good amount of testing. It has been proven that it is found in the brain as well as other cells in the body.
Still, the scientific evidence that suggests that it can help protect neurotransmitters is minimal. It seems that the scientific community is as of yet divided on this topic.
What Are The Benefits Of Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS? This supplement may help improve memory. Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS may also protect your cognitive abilities as you age. It has a relatively simple and safe formula. It has been reviewed generally well.
What Are The Drawbacks Of Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS? Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS contains gelatin, which may have been harvested by animals. Some users reported headaches in association with Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS. It contains artificial coloring agents. Scientists seem divided as to the efficacy of this product’s main ingredient. FAQs: Consumer Questions & AnswersIn our research for this report, we found that consumers are frequently asking the following questions online in regard to Puritan's Pride Neuro PS.
Some consumers complained of headaches when taking Puritan's Pride Neuro PS, but no formal complaints have been lodged against the makers of this product.
Puritan's Pride Neuro PS is moderately priced when compared to other supplements in the nootropic supplement market. It can be purchased from the official Puritan’s Pride website or other third-party online retail sites.
For the 100mg version of Puritan's Pride Neuro PS, adults are directed to take 1 capsule three times a day, preferably with your meals.
The return policy that Puritan’s Pride offers states that the customer can return the product for a refund within several months of the date their order shipped. There does not seem to be any free trial offer available for this product.
Some nootropic supplements on the market also have the same active ingredient in Puritan's Pride Neuro PS but many other products include more than one active ingredient, which is the main thing that differentiates Puritan's Pride Neuro PS from other comparable supplements.
Some side effects may include mild headaches. To be on the safe side, check the list of ingredients before you try it.
If you make sure to take advantage of the money-back guarantee if Puritan's Pride Neuro PS doesn’t work for you, it may be worth it.
What Are Consumers Saying About Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS? Puritan’s Pride Neuro PS reviews are generally positive. Most users say that it helped improve their memory but a small minority claims that it causes headaches or doesn’t do anything at all.

Vaporization of critical process chemistries is not an easy task. To begin with, advanced processes are constantly changing and using novel chemistries for which data may be limited. In some instances, researchers may need vaporization equipment for chemistries whose identities they don’t want to disclose. Once the chemical properties are determined, the job of balancing liquid flows, carrier gas flows, upstream and downstream pressures and materials compatibility can start. Often a carrier gas is required, and the carrier flow must be carefully calculated and controlled during process. The temperature of the vaporizers is also key – balancing the required temperature vs the potential to heat-induced damage to the liquid. The determination of the right vaporization method leads to the careful selection and specification of the supporting instruments – gas / liquid flow controllers / meters, vaporization nozzles and temperature controllers. Not an easy process but a process in which HORIBA is a global leader.
HORIBA has vaporization solutions ranging from fractional grams/minute to >25g/min. As a solutions provider, we can not only recommend vaporization components like our VC and MV series but we can also provide a fully integrated system like our LSC / LU. By using our world-leading gas and liquid mass flow controllers and meters in conjunction with our vaporizers, users are assured accurate and repeatable vaporization of critical process chemistries.
The graph above shows the different possible states of matter. There are two ways to get from a liquid to a gaseous state. The first method involves increasing the temperature while holding the pressure steady, as indicated by the arrow with the broken line . This method is commonly used in everyday settings—to boil water and convert it to steam, for example. Heating a liquid takes time, however, which makes rapid vaporization difficult. On the other hand, one can also heat the liquid in advance and then abruptly reduce the pressure, as illustrated
by the arrow with the solid line . The pressure in the vaporization section of the injector can be reduced instantaneously, and this makes it possible to vaporize a liquid source instantaneously.

Just a quick update to my previous blog post which covered the delay in implementing the extension to Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) to businesses and landlords until 2024.
It has now been announced that the introduction of the basis period reform has also been delayed until 2024. The delay comes after various professional bodies had written to the Treasury to suggest deferments of the date for implementation of both the MTD for ITSA and basis period changes, given the expected pressure it would put upon taxpayers and the agent community. That and the fact that HMRC clearly weren’t ready as a lot of the detailed rules had not been announced following consultation feedback.
The transitional year for basis period reform will now commence from April 2023 rather than the proposed April 2022 start date. The delay will be welcomed by all stakeholders and as I mentioned in my previous post, will enable everyone to embed the new rules and requirements and get comfortable with those, ahead of yet more changes.

Physical Therapy and Rehab in Nanuet I. INTRODUCTION to Physical Therapy in Nanuet
Physical Therapy has existed since time immemorial. It has been used for generations to alleviate pain or act as a mode of managing chronic pain. The pain is usually an effect of accidents or diseases.
Hence, Physical Therapy at Hudson Health & Spine in Nanuet plays an integral role to complement other therapeutic procedures which assist patients in recovering as fast as possible. The ability of Physical Therapy to work with various other curative interventions has increased success rates of recovery for some very chronic conditions such as stroke, injuries and cardio-related conditions.
This intervention is spearheaded by physical therapists who are accredited caregivers, focusing on the physical exercises and procedures to actualize therapeutic aims. A physical therapist’s job is not limited to specific levels of treatment like other medical professionals. Physical Therapy at Hudson Health & Spine takes part in all levels of treatment which begins from initial diagnosis and prevention to tertiary care.
It is evident that Physical Therapy works by itself to correct physical deformities in the body and help in the management of pain. However, it can also work with other forms of treatment to make those therapeutic interventions successful.
II. FUNCTIONS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
Physical therapy is a treatment that a physical therapist and/or physician can recommend to a patient, or it can be a decision a patient can take personally after analyzing their symptoms.
The processes that take place at Physical Therapy at Hudson Health & Spine in Nanuet includes: Patients will undergo an evaluation for physical therapy first. Evaluations are important when understanding the conditions, symptoms and functional activity levels of each individual.
The physical activities can vary from simple workouts to very complicated and taxing physical exercises which are meant to help with restoring function and muscle tissues. The activities are aimed at the affected area to expedite the recovery process.
After the evaluation, a physical therapist will discuss with the patient about the intended plan of care. The treatment plan is always personalized to patients’ medical histories and their levels of physical endurance, level of functional activity, and their goals for care. The physical therapist at Hudson Health & Spine in Nanuet also recommends a self-management plan: a home exercise program so that a patient can take care of themselves anywhere, regardless of the presence or absence of a physical therapist. III. ADVANTAGES OF PHYSICAL THERAPY Alleviates Pain, Restores Functional Movement
Pain is the main reason why many people seek health intervention. If it is chronic pain and its roots cannot be explained, the pain may become more unbearable.
Therefore, physical therapy sessions play a vital role in decreasing pain, regaining joint movements, and increasing muscles flexibility to regenerate and restore the body to its previous or almost to its previous form. A full recovery brings liberation from bouts of pain, and the ability to manage health afterwards.
Provides an Alternative Treatment Before Going for Surgery
Surgery is unpredictable procedure. If there are other alternative treatment measures, they should be considered first. Surgery should be the last option should the other forms of treatment fail at providing necessary alleviation of pain.
Athletes
Athletes are prone to getting injuries due to the physical demands of their profession. An injury can occur anywhere, from the training field to competitive matches. Taking care of injuries quickly and sufficiently with physical therapy will give the athlete a better chance at returning to their sport without lasting issues. A consistent physical therapy regime with the help of Physical Therapy at Hudson Health & Spine in Nanuet helps in keeping athletes in shape and ready to take on the demands of their sport.
IV. TYPES OF PHYSICAL THERAPY AT HUDSON HEALTH & SPINE
Physical therapy works with other various treatment plans to help patients recover.
Orthopedic Physical therapy is used to enhance the functions of the musculoskeletal structure from the effects of injuries and diseases. It can help in the rehabilitation process after surgery, strain, sprains, fractures, or overuse injuries. The joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments are candidates for this type of therapy. Neurological physical therapy helps deal with injuries that affect the nervous system which includes the nervous structure and the brain. It seeks to facilitate Neuroplasticity to regenerate body movement, function and balance. It is a vital treatment for neurological diseases such as stroke, paralysis, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. Functional Exercises For patients who have been immobilized or who lack flexibility, strength, or endurance. Physical therapy helps encourage patients to use their muscles to increase their flexibility and range of motion. More advanced exercises focus on improving strength, balance, coordination, and endurance. The goal is to improve how an individual function at work and at home. Manual therapy Soft tissue mobilization Myofascial release Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Post-surgery rehabilitation General weakness strengthening Balance training Gait training Kinesiology tape Posture analysis Posture and Ergonomic Education Mechanical decompression for spinal decompression Electrical Muscle Stimulation: Electrical Muscle Stimulation is an exceptional way to help the body in the healing process. This is accomplished by sending a very small electrical current into the affected soft tissue injury or muscle spasm. This therapy utilizes the current to help reduce pain, decrease swelling and release trigger points.
This is a great therapy if there is a spasm in the body, such as a back or neck muscle spasm. It relaxes the muscle and decreases pain, while stimulating microcirculation.
Ultrasound: Ultrasound is a therapy that is utilized to handle acute injuries related to joints, muscle spasms, as well as most soft tissues. This treatment is not the same as ultrasound utilized to see within the body. This type of ultrasound creates small sound waves and facilitates the body's healing process in addition to decreasing scar tissue formation. V. CONDITIONS THAT PHYSICAL THERAPY AT HUDSON HEALTH & SPINE IN NANUET CAN HELP
Physical therapy helps restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or disease. Physical therapy or "medically directed rehab" helps restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health.

Recovery of soil water, groundwater and streamwater from acidification at the Swedish Integrated Monitoring catchments
Recovery from anthropogenic acidification in streams and lakes is well documented across the northern hemisphere. In this study, we use 1996–2009 data from the four Swedish Integrated Monitoring catchments to evaluate how the declining sulfur deposition has affected sulfate, pH, acid neutralizing capacity, ionic strength, aluminum, and dissolved organic carbon in soil water, groundwater and runoff.
Differences in recovery rates between catchments, between recharge and discharge areas and between soil water and groundwater are assessed. At the IM sites, atmospheric deposition is the main human impact. The chemical trends were weakly correlated to the sulfur deposition decline. Other factors, such as marine influence and catchment features, seem to be as important. Except for pH and DOC, soil water and groundwater showed similar trends. Discharge areas acted as buffers, dampening the trends in streamwater. Further monitoring and modeling of these hydraulically active sites should be encouraged.

On Dec. 8, the Jewish National Fund’s Baltimore and Delaware office celebrated two milestones with the appointment of Orly Shalem as president, the first woman and first Israeli to hold the post.
Growing up in Be’er Sheva and living on a kibbutz as a teenager near Ashkelon (Baltimore’s sister city), Shalem was aware that there was money for Israeli infrastructure projects, but she didn’t know where it was coming from.
On her year off from the kibbutz, she visited the United States, where she met two people who would greatly impact her — her husband, Yair “Ron” Shalem, and Diane Scar, who now serves as the JNF’s national campaign director.
“As an Israeli, it isn’t really something that is explained to us, where money is coming from,” said Shalem. “Talking to Diane made me realize that the money came from organizations such as the JNF.”
Part of why Shalem was so drawn to the JNF is the Be’er Sheva River Park, “a massive environment and economic project that is transforming the riverfront into a 1,700-acre civic paradise,” according to JNF’s website. The project helped to clean up Shalem’s hometown. “As a child, it was just the end of the city, all trash and old cars,” she recalled. “Today, it is a place where you would want to live; they made it beautiful.”
Now that Shalem, 49, is JNF president, one of her top priorities is to involve Israeli with the organization.
“We want to bring more Israelis to the table,” she said, “to educate them and get them more involved. I don’t think they even know how much the JNF does for Israel. There are a lot of young people and families here, and I want to draw them closer to us.”
Stuart Diamant-Cohen, director of JNF for Greater Washington, D.C., and Virginia, said Shalem will be great at bringing in more community involvement.
“There has never been a JNF president who is a woman or who is Israeli in the Maryland area, so for us, this is a wonderful breaking of the glass ceiling,” said Diamant-Cohen. “Personal outreach is the most effective way of engaging people, and we could not ask for a better person to be doing that.”
One way that Shalem hopes to engage people is through the JNF’s mission programs, which provide a means for American Jews to engage with Israel in a manner that takes into account one’s personal and professional interests, ranging from counter-terrorism groups to doctors and lawyers.
Diamant-Cohen serves as the staff professional for the JNF’s law and justice mission.
“We have the opportunity to meet with everyone from the minister of justice to Supreme Court justices. We see the court system in action in Israel, see how it interacts with the environment, with young people and the law,” he said. “To look at it from the aspect of the leadership is a very unique experience. These missions are where the JNF offers the opportunity to effect positive change in Israel.”
Shalem believes that missions are important because they enable individuals to engage in activities and subjects that interest them while still helping people in Israel.
“On my last mission, I went to Halutza, a community right on the border of Gaza,” she said. “We got to see how they live under the rockets. It’s not easy. If their house gets bombed, some would think they would go live elsewhere, but most do not. They stay and rebuild with the help of the JNF. This is something that you need to go on a mission to understand.”
Shalem is now building her agenda for the next two years. “Hopefully, I will be able to achieve everything I have in my mind, in spite of every day there being a new project,” she said.
These new projects vary drastically and can come up unexpectedly, such as the recent fires throughout Israel. In the past two-and-a-half weeks, devastating forest and urban fires have had a dramatic effect on the JNF’s work. In that time, the JNF has raised more than $6 million toward the cause. Among other things, this money has been put toward 23 new fire trucks, each of which costs approximately $450,000. One of JNF’s goals is to increase Israel’s fire-fighting fleet to 900 trucks.
Shalem works every day to ensure that Maryland continues to support and contribute to causes in Israel.
“This is the time and place to start a new chapter in my life and to make a change,” said Shalem. “I think bringing the face of a woman to the [JNF] board is already making a change, and I can’t wait to see what the future brings.”

Dirty Lazy works well for me because I keep below 50gms carbs per day and once a month or so I allow myself to have a favourite pre keto meal like fish n chips. I hover around half to one pound heavier next day but I’ve been steadily losing and am down 20pounds painlessly. I haven’t kickstarted any cravings so I hope to get through comfort food season by indulging in my luxurious meat and fat, cheese, butter and low carb veg with occasional yummy treat. I’ve never been so mentally relaxed and ready to keep burning fat.
I also only record a drop in weight so that I fool my brain when I look at that lovely graph going down and down and down. On my PM’s or period times I skip weighing altogether as it demoralises me. So that’s my cheatin’ story and I’m sticking to it. Abi34#1

This low stress hormone approach is commendable. It’s good to share it.
There is avalanche risk for some who might try to emulate it. Food avalanche risk, or psychologically destructive avalanche risk. Especially with those who strive for healthier lives but identify with food addictions. Or, those who may have an expectations to reality mismatch.
The importance of discussing this is to help understand the spectrum of ‘restriction’ that different people apply to many of the things that they do, including eating, especially after discovering that what they are/were doing was injuring theirself.
It helps explain the adamancy of some of the replies in some of the threads for approaches to dietary health that are less than strictly by ‘the rules’.
Eating is a moveable feast. Not eating, I guess, is a moveable fast.
PaulL(Old Baconian) #5
I would just counsel that it can be cruel to sugar/carb addicts to suggest that a bit of extra carbohydrate is not going to hurt them. I have seen a number of sober alcoholics get started on epic binges because someone convinced them that they could surely “have just one.” For an addict, total abstinence is actually easier.
Abi34#6
I find for myself the more restrictions I place on myself food wise, the less success I have. I have a five year old chocolate bar in a drawer somewhere that I tell myself that I can have if I absolutely must. I haven’t felt that desperation and the chocolate bar continues to live because I give myself permission to have it if I need it. A lame security blanket but it works for me. If I threw it away, I know I would think about it and crave it and then would buy 10 and eat them because it was forbidden. Not forbidden?, Not a problem. So for me, it’s largely my mind has to be in the game or nothing will work.
Abi34#7
I hope I’m not suggesting that Anyone follow what I do. I’m merely listing what works for me.
Please feel free to remove the posts if you think I’ve been cruel in anyway. I can go elsewhere. Bye.
Shinita#8
It’s nice to find the method that works best for us
I know very well I should be just flexible enough, indulgent enough, strict enough and doing something very different sometimes… We are individuals and even our attitude and circumstances change. It’s simpler to stick to some woe with very fixed rules but it’s not the right way for everyone all their life. Just like allowing a carby day is dangerous for some people. It’s just pointless for others. There are various cases for sure.
I do it differently but I realized a single moderately carby day does nothing to me (nothing changes, not even my weight. I had water weight changes going on/off keto for years but it stopped. I guess my body realized it better keeps my glycogen storages filled even in ketosis?). I often read about such people just like there are many cases where even a bit more carbs cause problems.
50g carb limit doesn’t work for many either, it’s good it works for you Are you sure you are in ketosis? Losing fat easily is possible without it, low-carb alone may be enough, it was for me until some point. Not like it’s necessarily important, I tend to say that I don’t even care about ketosis, I just want to feel great (And lose fat is possible but it’s hard for me.) It’s another thing I need extreme low-carb most of the time for that, ketosis isn’t enough…
Well, keep up the good work, you seem to do it right
Abi34#9
Most days carbs are around 15-20 but I mentally “allow” myself up to 50. I certainly don’t try to get to 50, but if I get near it, I don’t get bent out of shape about and start hand wringing. . I also find that most days I only have my meat, butter and some cheese but other days I want my cauliflower and cheese mash, or steamed cabbage swimming in butter so I seem to be developing a pattern of meat/fat or veg/fat days. I rarely eat them together in one day.
Shinita#10
I understand now. Most of your items are so low-carb I wondered if you love your low-carb vegetables in bigger amounts as I did… And the tasty yumminess can be carby too.
You do a bit similarly than me then, I keep my carbs very low if possible but me, being me, have carbier days and I am very sure that I can go up to about 45g just not every day if I know what is good for me. So my good times are keto with varying carbs. It works better than trying to enforce a super low carb limit but I had to figure out how my body and mind works.
Interesting, people usually eat meat and vegetables together. I skipped that when I jumped from vegetarian keto to carnivore-ish (and even when I eat plants or don’t eat meat, my vegetable intake typically stays insignificant)… But I always base my meals on fatty protein.
Abi34#11

Physically, it’s correct to say that it won’t hurt. But it will cause a spiral into an addictive case.
FrankoBear#14
This is the ‘rub’. This is the the friction point. The more we rub it the more likely it becomes sore. But it’s itchy. Let’s talk about it with scratchy writing.
I don’t think intentional cruelty is at play here.
This discussion point of the psychology of eating, and the wide variation in the spectrum of responses and coping, is nuanced.
The neurophysiology of addiction plays a role. We see ‘food scientists’ manipulate us not for the good of our nutrition, but for the profits of industrial food producers. And in our n=1 responses to those addiction experiments, we can see that we are not immune to the manipulations.
I think it can be equally as destructive, and here I Nestlé down on the fence, to hint to addicts that a small dose of their presumed peccadillo (their hit) with destructive consequences is inconsequential. Or, equally, to adamantly dictate that abstinence is best. Abstinence in theory may well be best, but it creates a looming void when the expectation cannot be constantly achieved.
Meanwhile, as we discuss, debate, and eat, and be human we stumble along in our imperfection. Falling down, getting up, dusting off the crumbs and icing sugar. Then keeping calm and enjoying a wholefoods keto reset and a lesson learned.
Maybe we should ride ponies? Repeated falling from a high horse (or tall wagon) can break one’s healthy living resolve.
Fangs#15
Cool. If it suits you and you feel great, why not cause it is what you require. But remember one thing, the DAY it all changes for you, be smart and act fast. Cause alot of times when we get very comfortable it can all backfire fast for some of us, so just keep your eyes open and wish you continued luck!!

First, let me state clearly that I don’t care (nor give a damn) what anyone else eats or doesn’t nor why they do or don’t. If it works for you who am I to gainsay? What I do care about, however, is confusing newbies.
Fact: a lot of stuff happens when one begins to eat keto. For weeks or months a newbie can experience conflicting experiences that can be both disconcerting and even scary. We all know this because we did.
Judging from many commentaries submitted by newbies to this forum, generally they are confused about keto and have unrealistic expectations. They don’t understand ketosis, they don’t understand ketones, they don’t understand fat adaptation, they don’t understand the difference between calorie restriction and hormonal theory. Especially, they don’t understand the importance of carbohydrate restriction while eating sufficient fat and protein to avoid metabolic retardation. It’s very hard to step past the CICO mindset which is pretty much where everyone starts.
I think those of us who have been keto for significant periods of time should always remain aware that for newbies we need to stay on focus. Newbies need to remain in ketosis consistently for months in order to become fully fat adapted. We need to say so and not equivocate. We should reinforce the message that consuming low carbs, the lower the better, is the most effective way to remain consistently in ketosis and to become efficiently fat adapted.
Now I have no objection to personal, n=1 experimentation and reportage of results. I do a lot of that myself. However, I think we ought not to present such to newbies if in doing so we confuse them into thinking that what works for someone who has been fat adapted for years is applicable for someone who is not yet efficiently fat adapted and in fact may prevent them becoming so.
To wit. If you can eat 100+ grams of carbs and remain in ketosis (really? do you measure?), telling newbies is not helping them because they probably can not. They’re looking for excuses to eat carbs and you gave them one. If you don’t count carbs and claim to remain consistently in ketosis (do you measure?) you’re just giving newbies an excuse for wishful thinking.
What I’m asking is: please don’t give newbies an excuse to eat more carbs. Instead, reinforce the necessity to remain consistently in ketosis and keep carbs low enough to do so.

Like I said before, if you find my experience offensive and misleading and cruel, please report it so it can be removed. I will go elsewhere. I’m not sure why I’m being lectured on being misleading and cruel to newbies. I think I will just remove myself from the forums. I was mistaken in thinking everyone’s experiences welcome to talk about.
To those who wished me well, thank you. FrankoBear#18
Offensive? No. Misleading? Possibly in the context of readers who are confused newbies, or carbohydrate/sugar addicts. Cruel? In my opinion, no.
I think your experience is enlightening and worthy of discussion as we’re doing. Hang around and keep posting. I think also that the commenters taking a precautionary point of view, may appreciate acknowledgement of their points. But that is up to you.
Sharing what works for you is helpful in our learning. I remember when my carb addiction was strong, I wouldn’t have appreciated such a post. But these days, with hunger and cravings well controlled (except for coffee, which I recognise as a true drug addiction), I appreciate from where you are posting.
I love this. Firstly, that the chocolate bar seems to be immortally edible. Secondly, that you remember its general location. Not exactly where it is, but that it is there somewhere. I always ate those chocolate bars, or I have forgotten about where they are. The fact that you use it as a memory relic of bygone eating, and that it has more value as that than a chocolate ‘hit’ is fascinating. Not lame at all.
Abi34#19
Basically, do what you want but don’t talk about it here. Confusing newbies and giving them excuses. Seems pretty clear.
amwassil(Michael - When reality fails to meet expectations, the problem is not reality.) #20
@Abi34 The title of this topic - not the ‘Dirty Lazy Keto’ part (that offends me and I’m nearly 4 years in) - but the ‘getting off the horse on purpose’ part. I think that’s confusing to newbies. Hypothetical newbie has just ‘given up’ some carb-loaded foods, thinks he or she has made some monumental ‘sacrifice’ doing so, and you’re saying it’s OK to eat it once in a while. That’s your opinion and you’re welcome to it and to express it.
All I’m saying is, you need to keep in mind that this forum is frequented by lots of folks who are newbies, know doodly squat and have limited experience. Those of us who have more experience just need to exercise restraint in how we express ourselves and/or report personal experiences. So, no, it’s
not ‘do what you want but dont’ talk about it here’. Just keep in mind that some folks aren’t on the same wave length. No, it’s not fair to us, but life is not fair.
PS: not only you, but others as well. It’s just that this particular topic finally pushed me to say so. Don’t take it personally.

Effectiveness of self-care interventions for integrated morbidity management of skin neglected tropical diseases in Anambra State, Nigeria. BACKGROUND: Lymphatic filariasis (LF), Buruli ulcer (BU) and leprosy are neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) of the skin co-endemic in some communities in Nigeria. Not enough is known about the effectiveness of integrated morbidity management and disability prevention in people with these conditions. An integrated self-care intervention was carried out for people with these skin NTDs in two endemic communities of Anambra state, Nigeria. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of self-care practices on costs of care, disability status and health-related quality of life. METHODS: This study utilised a quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design to assess the effectiveness of the self-care interventions for people affected by NTDs to care for these impairments at home. Data were collected using questionnaires administered at the beginning and at the end of the intervention on monthly cost of morbidity care, and on participants' disability status and their quality of life (QoL). Focus group discussions (FGDs) were held with both the participants and healthcare workers at follow-up. RESULTS: Forty-eight participants were recruited. Thirty participants (62.5%) continued the self-care interventions until the end of the project. Of those, 25 (83%) demonstrated improvement from their baseline impairment status. The mean household costs of morbidity care per participant decreased by 66% after the intervention, falling from US$157.50 at baseline to US$53.24 after 6 months of self-care (p = 0.004). The mean disability score at baseline was 22.3; this decreased to 12.5 after 6 months of self-care (p < 0.001). Among the 30 participants who continued the interventions until the end of the project, 26 (86.7%) had severe disability score (i.e. a score of 10-46) at baseline, and the number with severe disability fell to 18 (60%) of the 30 after the intervention. The mean QoL score increased from 45.7 at baseline to 57.5 at the end of the intervention (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: The 6-month self-care intervention for participants affected by BU, leprosy, or LF led to lower costs of care (including out-of-pocket costs and lost earnings due to morbidity), improved QoL scores, and reduced disability status. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ISRCTN Registry: ISRCTN20317241 ; 27/08/2021, Retrospectively registered.

A quick guide to Soil Reclamation Watch instead of reading...
The soil is one of the abundantly available renewable resources on earth. However, increasing population and various human activities like industrialization, urbanization, mining, etc. are slowly rendering the fertile usable soil unfit for use. Damage and deterioration of soil include:
Loss of fertility Lack of nutrients and minerals Loss of useful bacteria and microorganisms Loss of moisture Abnormal increase or decrease in pH Increased toxicity
Some soils are already non-arable and some become non-arable and infertile due to human activities. Non-arable soils are not productive because the soil is lacking nutrient balance and fertility. Nutrient balance starts with calcium and magnesium, but includes all the soil minerals in balance to achieve maximum fertility and therefore yield in all types of soils and weather.
Soil Reclamation Soil Reclamation
This process in combination with Land reclamation is being employed widely for the creation of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries for enhancing wilderness and forest life by a combined process called
Pedogenesis.
Pedogenesis, also known as
and soil development, soil evolution, soil formation, is the process of soil formation as regulated by the effects of place, environment, and history. soil genesis, Methods for Soil Reclamation
Soil Reclamation is carried out for the development of layers, termed soil horizons, distinguished by differences in
and color, structure, texture, These features occur in patterns of soil type distribution, forming in response to differences in soil forming factors. chemistry.
There are numerous
Biological, Chemical and Biogeochemical processes Soil Reclamation through Pedogenesis. Arid land Wetlands Swampy lands Salt-affected soil Mining area soil
The most popular methods used for soil reclamation are:
Phytoremediation
In this method, higher plants are used for the degradation and removal of different contaminants (both organic and inorganic) from the soil. Among these methods, the most frequently used are:
Phytostabilization
This process is based on the ability of roots to immobilize pollutants. The process takes place on the surface of roots as an adsorption effect. Contaminants are absorbed into roots and precipitated in the roots’ area.
Phytoextraction/Photodegradation
In this method, contaminants are picked up by the roots of plants and transported to their overground parts, and then removed together with the crops.
Bioremediation
This method is based on microorganisms’ activity, which is commonly used for the reclamation of soils polluted by organic compounds. However, recently there have also been many investigations into applying microorganisms for detoxication and cleaning soil polluted by inorganic substances.
Electroremediation
This method is based on the phenomenon of pollutant migration in an electric field. Migrating particles have to have a permanent electric charge or have to be polarized, so the technique is used to remove heavy metals or polar compounds. Electrodes are inserted into the ground on opposite sites of the contaminated area.
Contaminants under the influence of an electromagnetic field migrate through the soil within the cathode or anode area, where they are removed in a few possible ways: chemical precipitation, adhesion to the electrodes’ surfaces, removing and processing the contamination beyond the remediated site.
Biofiltration
Biological filters and bioreactors are based on the biological activity of microorganisms. During the first stage of the process, the contaminated soil is mixed with water and as a suspension is moved into a reaction chamber where a selected group of microorganisms removes the contaminants as a result of sorption and/or transformation.
Surface Insulation
This is a physical method based on covering the contaminated soil to prevent toxic migration to the environment as a result of rainwater or wind erosion. The layers are comprised of a combined material such as synthetic fiber, clay, and concrete.
Hydraulic method (Soil washing)
This method is used for removing inorganic contamination, such as heavy metals, radionuclides, toxic anions and others. In some cases, it can be applied to organic contamination. This method uses a wide spectrum of leaching solutions from water to strong inorganic acids.
Air Sparging
This is a subsurface contaminant remediation technique that involves the injection of pressurized air into the contaminated groundwater causing hydrocarbons to change state from dissolved to vapor state. The air is then sent to the vacuum extraction systems to remove the contaminants.
Composting
Contaminated soil is explored and stored in a pile or a thin layer distributed over a larger area, for the degradation of contaminants. This process enables some organic contaminants (oil origin compounds, non-halogen compounds and some of the halogen compounds and pesticides) to be removed from the soil, by way of biological degradation. The process is carried out by aerobic organisms, which mineralize organic compounds to simple compounds such as CO2, H2O, and others.

Finding Your Guide:
Elements Of A Great Yoga Teacher
“The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” William Arthur Ward
When we find a yoga class or a teacher that clicks, we immediately get attached. Given a choice, we know what we'd choose. Something about the experience gets us to feel more able, engaged, or in tune with our body or the communal energy.
Having taken and taught thousands of yoga classes in Toronto, since 2004, Melissa distills what to look for to find your perfect fit. This list is useful for beginners starting out, intermediates who have questions and businesses trying to find an instructor for their corporate wellness program.
Here are twenty characteristics frequently found in the yoga teachers who provide the most physically satisfying, responsibly educational and magical connections.
The Class
1. You enjoy the yoga classes. You’re at ease, curious, motivated and engaged. It might even be fun!
2. You learn something new; about yourself, your ability, a yoga pose/sequence, an idea.
3. Balanced movement. Even in a themed class with repetition, there is contrast and opportunity to reset.
4. Variety. Over time, classes cover a range of themes, directions and movements.
5. The yoga class is about the participants, not the person in front of the room.
6. The experience is greater than what you could achieve on your own.
The Instruction
7. What they offer you matches your preferences. What they teach, how they teach it and their tone agrees with you.
8. The class meets you where you are. You get enough instruction throughout the session to manage your practice to suit your needs. Whether first timer or advanced practitioner, you know what to modify or vary to participate with the group at your level.
9. Inclusive. Consideration is made for people of differing size, shape, abilities and backgrounds in regard to cues, verbiage and asking permission to touch if necessary. 10. Cues are meaningful and easy to understand. The communication resonates with you, whether visually, verbally or through touch. 11. Your yoga instructor values effort over achievement. You are encouraged to try your best and value holistic progress.
12. They set expectations high enough to motivate and challenge.
13. Your teacher is informed and intentional. There is a WHY to the elements (cues, poses, sequences etc.) of the class and they understand the material presented. 14. Questions and comments are welcomed. They ask for feedback and will troubleshoot for you. Your success is their success. The Person
15. Your yoga instructor inspires you. In class, this can be through verbal encouragement, physical demonstrations, theoretical or ideological motivation. Out of class it could be through their career achievement, personal practice or lived experience. You sense their passion.
16. Your teacher is human and not afraid to show it. They are approachable, relatable, and find lessons in “mistakes”.
17. They do the right thing. This could be giving credit for the work of others when sharing, or referring students to someone else who can better serve differing tastes or learning styles.
18. They coach from the experience of a student and continue to be a student. Having an ongoing yoga practice preserves beginner's mind in the teacher.
19. Your teacher stays abreast of current industry updates and relevant findings pertaining to what they do. 20. Your yoga instructor stays within their scope of practice. They do not diagnose or treat medical issues, give nutritional advice, sell you items or attempt to be a therapist or life coach.

New Microsoft report says 32% of Indian digital workforce say they feel exhausted While 13 per cent of the Indian workers say their employers don't care about their work-life balance and 57 % employees feel overworked, an overwhelming majority prefer flexibility and remote working
While 74 per cent Indian workers are keen on flexible remote work options, 57 per cent employees feel overworked as digital intensity increases in the country, a new Microsoft report showed on Thursday, as the country prepares to reopen after the lethal second Covid wave.
At the same time, 73 per cent of those surveyed said they are craving more in-person time with their teams. Business decision makers, 73 percent of them, are considering redesigning physical spaces to better accommodate hybrid work environments, according to Microsoft India's first annual ‘Work Trend Index'.
The data is clear: extreme flexibility and hybrid work will define the post-pandemic workplace.
"As every organisation fundamentally reimagines itself for the hybrid work era, we are collectively learning and innovating on how we will shape the future of work in India. It's time to embrace work as a frame of mind, not a place you go," said Rajiv Sodhi, Chief Operating Officer, Microsoft India. Coworkers leaned on each other in new ways to get through the last year. One among four (24 per cent) Indian employees has cried with a colleague and 35 per cent people are less likely to feel embarrassed now when their home lives show up at work, the findings showed. As living rooms made way for work meetings, 37 per cent people got to meet their coworkers' families.
"The genuine interactions with coworkers are helping to foster a workplace where 63 per cent of Indian workers said they are more likely to be their full, authentic selves at work," the report mentioned.
The digital burden has also increased. While 62 per cent of the Indian workforce say their companies are asking too much of them at a time like this, 13 per cent say their employers don't care about their work-life balance. More than half (57 per cent) of Indian employees feel overworked and 32 per cent feel exhausted.
The company said that the time spent in Microsoft Team meetings has more than doubled (2.5X) globally, 62 per cent of Team calls and meetings are unscheduled or conducted ad hoc and the average Team meetings is 10 minutes longer, up from 35 to 45 minutes year-over-year. The average Teams user is sending 45 per cent more chats per week and 42 per cent more chats per person after hours.
Despite meeting and chat overload, 50 per cent of people respond to Team chats within five minutes or less, the report said.

Getting a dumpster may not be something that you’re thinking of every day, but when you find yourself having to remove junk or unwanted materials, you may be thinking how to get the best deals on dumpsters in Swansea. Perhaps you’re a homeowner in Swansea who is starting a new home improvement direction, and realized that you’ll be making a large amount of junk that is just too much for standard garbage disposal choices. No matter what type of project you’re working on you’ll be able to find a dumpster rental that will fit your weight, material and size desires.
You’ll want to ensure that dumpster rental costs don’t become an obstacle to your job’s progress, which is why it’s important to estimate your needs prior to renting. The main choices that impact your costs is the weight of your waste, materials you’re disposing of and amount of time you’ll need the dumpster for. You’ll also want to ask the rental company if there are any costs for permits in Swansea that may add to your budget.
Fortunately, roll-off dumpsters in Swansea can be rented in all shapes and sizes with the most commonly used being 10 to 30 cubic yard containers. If you’ve never rented a dumpster previously you may be unsure of what size you require for your specific job. It can be difficult to gauge the size of the dumpster for your needs, for often times they look very large, yet can fill up quickly. In general, for an average home improvement task you can use a 20 cubic yard dumpster, unless you have big objects you’re disposing of. A 40 cubic yard dumpster would be ideal for a big home improvement task, such as replacing a roof, or construction work. Any quality dumpster rental company can assist you with this choice as well.
Just looking at the size of a dumpster can be deceiving, as depending on the materials you’re using, it can fill up very rapidly. Be aware of the weight of the items you’re throwing in the dumpster as well. Even if your dumpster isn’t completely filled, it could still go over a weight restriction, resulting in possible overage fees. In addition to fees due to weight, you’ll also want to pay attention to the ground that the dumpster is placed on, as too much weight could easily damage your property. Checking with your rental company in Swansea first will help you get an idea of any fees or weight restrictions. The various types of waste that you’ll be disposing of will determine cost and dumpster you’re going to want to go with. Some people only have a few large items like furniture or broken appliances and if that’s the case, then you could also look into junk removal services that may be a better fit for you. A 10 cubic yard dumpster is good for basement or garage cleanouts with a limited amount of waste. Another thing to consider is if the types of waste you’re disposing of are going to be accepted by your dumpster company in Swansea. Check with your dumpster vendor on prohibited items like batteries, food waste, grease or large appliances such as refrigerators that are usually not accepted. There are several different factors to take into account when determing the cost of renting a dumpster. Fortunately, most rental businesses will give you an estimate at no cost, but you should still know how it is arrived at. Larger containers, regardless of how full they are, will always cost more. The reason for this is because bigger dumpsters require a higher dumping fee at the landfill, higher transportation costs and more manpower to manage. Doing business with a local dumpster rental company in Swansea will probably be a wise choice. Local companies typically have an established dumping arrangement with waste management facilities, which will save you time and paperwork. They’ll also be aware of local regulations, which can streamline the entire disposal process. By giving your dumpster company as much information as possible regarding your waste materials, you can make sure you get the best deal and correct sized container.

Agroforestry is a term for practices where trees are combined with farming, as well as for the interdisciplinary subject area embracing land use systems, at a range of scales from that of the ?eld to the planet, that involve interactions amongst trees, people, and agriculture. Put simply, agroforestry is where trees interact with agriculture. There is a long tradition of agroforestry practice in many parts of the world, but it has come to scienti?c prominence, and has emerged as a major focus in international development, only during the last quarter of a century. The term clearly derives from uniting two subject areas, forestry and agriculture, which for a long time, but not necessarily for good reasons, were institutionally separated the world over, in terms of education, research, policy development, and its implementation. As such, agroforestry has been at the forefront of much recent innovation in both farming and forestry.
[...] Agroforestry research and development seek to improve rural livelihoods by producing more products of higher value from trees and associated crops or livestock, while conserving the resource base, in terms of ecosystem attributes like biodiversity and soil fertility, from which they are ultimately derived. Because of their large stature and longevity, trees often make important contributions to the sustainability of productive landscapes. The significance of scale At a field scale, trees may be grown in intimate mixtures with crops or grazed pasture, or cropping or grazing may occur in forests. [...]
[...] There was also intensive, predominantly agronomic, research on a few technologies, most notably alley cropping pioneered at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and closely associated and sometimes confused with this, on contour hedgerows. This agronomic research was accompanied by conventional tree improvement of a few exotic, nitrogen-fixing, tree species, used in these technologies, principally Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium. As a council, ICRAF did not have a remit to do research itself, but to coordinate research with national partners. [...]
[...] In temperate regions, agroforestry gained considerable credence in the USA, Australia, and Europe as agricultural policy increasingly sought to balance environmental and productive goals. Conclusion Most recently, the scope of agroforestry research and development has on the one hand expanded to encompass landscape, regional, and global issues, while on the other it has concentrated on delivering impact locally. The landscape scale has emerged as a key focus of research and development, requiring explicit trade-offs to be made amongst stakeholders and between the productive, food, fuel, and income- enhancing functions and ecosystem services. [...]
[...] The domestication and commercialization of these wild trees and other NTFPs to ensure sustainable production into the future is a main thrust of international agroforestry research and development. Agroforestry as a science and in development In its short history as a scientific subject and an international development imperative, agroforestry has developed rapidly and it continues to do so. Recent trends in the focus of agroforestry research and extension are informative. We can chart its entry to the international stage, by the emergence of ICRAF, then the International Council for Research in Agroforestry, now the World Agroforestry Center, in 1978. [...]
[...] Reliance on wild trees in agroforestry Despite their importance to local livelihoods and as foreign-exchange earners for some countries in their range, many valuable agroforestry trees remain essentially wild and hence threatened because their exploitation, without steps being taken to ensure conservation and regeneration, may be unsustainable. There is also a vast untapped potential to obtain higher value from these trees by more controlled production and marketing. Some well-known trees fall into this category, such as the shea butter in West Africa (Vitellaria paradoxa), from which comes a range of local foods, as well as expensive cosmetic products and a cocoa substitute sold in industrialized countries (in 2003 pure shea butter was selling in the UK for over d140 per liter as a skin cream).

I’ve always been intrigued by belief systems, which made me an odd duck growing up with atheists. I love that there are as many ways to find the Divine as there are people. Every path, even within the boundaries of traditional religions, is unique to the person walking it.
As I’m heading towards embracing the crone stage of my life, I have come to believe that many people, including some who define themselves as pagan and witches, don’t see that spirituality is built from the ground up.
I’ve watched ‘New Age’ people and newbies to the Craft strive to open the crown chakra while ignoring the decline of the root.
I’ve been asked advice on situations with answers that lie in the physical realm but not considered because it wasn’t what they wanted to hear (“but Lyn, surely it is a negative entity causing my heartache and not that my relationship is in trouble/ my son is on drugs/ I’m in the wrong job” etc.).
I’ve seen people asking for ‘downloads’ from spirit and then do nothing with the information received or worst still, just waiting and waiting for them ‘upstairs’ to speak to the them before moving on with life.
There’s nothing wrong with seeking a connection to a higher power but it isn’t all ‘above’ when we are all very much living ‘below’.
As modern society, we are disconnected from the Earth. We only have to look around to see the neglect and destruction we inflict on the planet and that mirrors back onto ourselves. We’re lost, seeking something greater but afraid to look at the possibility that spirituality is meant to come from the root up.
To be the best versions of ourselves means having a strong foundation. We need to take care of our bodies and we need to feel secure in our lives (having a roofs over our heads, food in our bellies and at least enough money to cover the bills). This is where spirituality begins and without it, you will find it very difficult to maintain a deep, higher spiritual connection.
When I first started to seriously explore my path, I bought into the stereotype of a spiritual person being otherworldly. But over the years, I find true spiritual connection in everyday existence. My spiritual connection is what I eat, it’s how I earn a living, it’s how I exercise, it’s who I spend time with and it’s how I pray. I used to think that when people described me as ‘down to earth’ or ‘grounded’ they were somehow taking away from me as a spiritually-inclined person. Now I take the compliment.
Once we wake up and begin celebrating our earthly existence, the world cannot
not change. We’ll find happiness and contentment, perhaps the bickering between ourselves and our propensity to destroy will go too. So rather than reach for the stars, start with the roots and let’s see what crazy, beautiful changes can take place.

Hampshire County Council opposition councillor criticises climate change targets for 'lack of ambition' PLANS to tackle climate change must be more ambitious to bring about real change, a senior politician has warned.
This week, Hampshire County Council published its first climate change annual report, which examines the progress being made to reduce carbon emissions and tracks what the council is doing to tackle climate change.
But while Conservatives have praised the 'excellent' commitments made in the report, Liberal Democrats say the council needs to push harder to meet the 2050 carbon neutral target - espeicially when it comes to recycling.
Read More
Liberal Democrat spokesman for economy, transport and environment, Cllr Martin Tod, said: 'There is a lack of clarity and ambition on sustainability and tackling the climate emergency.
'The difference between the 2017 and 2021 climate strategies is that a few words have been added, and the word sustanability has been removed.
'We need a clearer ambition on recycling not just for carbon reasons, but because of the circular economy and other pressures that reycling has the potential to relieve.
'The statistics for Hampshire recycling rates once again show we had the worst rate of any disposal authority, and the second worst for residual waste. On both these metrics, Hampshire is unacceptably poor.'
Latest figures published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) show that from April 2019 to March 2020, 364,000 tonnes of collected waste was not sent for recycling - the sixth highest of all local authorities in England.
But Hampshire County Council leader, Cllr Keith Mans, said of the county council's report: 'This is an excellent record of the depth and breadth of our commitment to meeting the targets we have set – to be carbon neutral by 2050 and to be prepared for a two degrees rise in temperature.
'I am delighted to see that tremendous progress is being made, particularly in embedding climate change into the DNA of almost everything that we do.
'I fully understand that there is still a long way to go. That said, this is a great start to that journey.'
In the report, the county council highlighted that more than 1,250 trees have been planted in the past 12 months, and that funding has been secured for the installation of 50 on-street residential electric vehicle charge points in Winchester and Eastleigh, with plans to expand the scheme in the future.

By William Watts
European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde argued Thursday that a decision to slow the pace of asset buying under the institution’s pandemic emergency program didn’t amount to a “tapering,” but was instead a mere recalibration of stimulus efforts.
“The lady isn’t tapering,” Lagarde said at a news conference following the ECB decision, seemingly echoing late U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s 1980 declaration , in response to pressure to reverse her economic policies, that “the lady is not for turning.”
Lagarde said the ECB was merely recalibrating the PEPP, under which the bank had accelerated purchases over the past six months in response to a sluggish economic outlook. The “rebound” phase of the economic recovery now appears increasingly advanced, she said, though a “full” recovery could yet be delayed by the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
In a statement earlier Thursday, the ECB said that the Governing Council had decided, based on a joint assessment of financing conditions and the inflation outlook, that “that favorable financing conditions can be maintained with a moderately lower pace of net asset purchases under the PEPP than in the previous two quarters.”
Lagarde said the decision to moderate the pace was unanimous.
At the same time, net purchases under the ECB’s separate asset purchase program are set to continue at a monthly pace of €20 billion ($23.7 billion), the ECB said. The Governing Council continues to expect monthly net asset purchases under the APP to run for as long as necessary to reinforce the accommodative impact of its policy rates, and to end shortly before it starts raising the key ECB interest rates, the ECB said. PEPP purchases, meanwhile, will continue until at least the end of March 2022, the central bank said, with a total envelope of €1.85 trillion.
“While today’s policy statement confirms that the ECB will reduce the pace of its asset purchases slightly compared to its average since March, this is a long way from being a ‘full taper,'” said Andrew Kenningham, chief Europe economist at Capital Economics, in a note.
“Total asset purchases will probably continue at an average monthly rate of around €90 billion per month in the coming quarter, there is still no firm end-date for the emergency purchase program and, for now, the ECB still plans to continue with the standard APP until shortly before it raises interest rates,” he said.
The move wasn’t unexpected, but it was still significant.
“The ECB has taken its first meaningful step towards tapering today,” said Seema Shah, chief strategist at Principal Global Investors. “Characteristically, it hasn’t tied itself to a specific pace of purchase, instead retaining an element of flexibility which will be helpful in the face of a potential tightening in financial conditions as Fed taper draws near.”
Lagarde “stuck to the script,” said Claus Vistesen, chief eurozone economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, in a note. “The ‘moderately slower pace’ of PEPP in Q4 is a recalibration, not a taper, a distinction presumably used to avoid the perception that the central bank is on track to reduce the pace of [quantitative easing] to zero.”
Meanwhile, Lagarde largely brushed aside questions around the ultimate fate of the PEPP. It appears likely policy makers will face a decision on whether to announce the wind-down of the program at the ECB’s December policy meeting, which will feature the next quarterly update of staff macroeconomic forecasts, Vistesen said.
ECB staff on Thursday raised their forecasts for near-term eurozone growth and inflation. They expect gross domestic product to grow by 5% in 2021, up from a previous forecast of 4.6% in June. Inflation is expected to hit 2.2% in 2021, but soon fall back below the bank’s symmetric medium-term target of 2%.
As expected, the ECB also left interest rates unchanged, with its deposit rate at negative 0.5%. while the main refinancing rate remains at 0%.

Australians have begun casting their ballots for the July 2 federal election, with early voting starting today (Tues June 14).It's expected that a record number of voters will go to the polls early in this election, topping the 2013 election record of 27 per cent.Oliver Jones reports.
It's compulsory for all Australian citizens to vote in the federal election, but not everyone has to cast a ballot on July 2.
The Australian Electoral Commission and political scientists are expecting a record number of people to vote early in this election.
Voters can either pre-poll vote via post or go to an early voting centre.
Electoral Commission spokesman Phil Diak says while he expects early voting to exceed the 2013 record, voters should remember they must have a valid reason to vote ahead of July 2.
"Early voting has been growing in recent Australian federal elections. At the 2010 election, it was 18 per cent of all votes that were counted and at the 2013 election, the early voting share was 27 per cent. There were 3.7 million early votes that were cast at the 2013 federal election. At this election, the AEC will be asking people who go and have a pre-poll vote the question whether they are entitled to have an early vote. Early voting is not just for personal preference or convinence, it's for people who are unable to go to a polling place in their home electorate on election day."
Voters must be outside their electorate where they are enrolled to vote, at work, seriously ill, in prison or have religious beliefs that prevent them going to a polling station, if they wish to vote early.
July 2 falls within school holidays for every state but South Australia.
Dr Peter Chen, a senior lecturer in politics at the University Sydney, says he expects this to increase pre-voting.
"I think it's very likely that we might see as much as about 30 per cent of the electorate early voting and that's for two reasons, the first is that there has been year-on-year a rise in early voting over the last few decades and the second is that the election is going to be held during the school holidays and so as people will be going away they'll also take the opportunity to vote early."
Dr Chen says early voting has changed how politicans campaign.
He says candidates use pre-poll voting as a way to lock in votes, and they even encourage it.
"Parties have to expect that people will vote early and thus defect at any time and so they can't structure their campaign and their narrative in the way they once did. So it's changed the way they campaign. It's changed the political logic of the way in which elections are fought and it also means that elections might be actually won or lost well before the actually voting day because it only requires a small amount of votes to change, to create a significant outcome in a tied election like this."
Australians overseas on July 2 can also vote at centres across the world from next week (June 20).
Voting information will also be available in 27 languages.
Kristen says she was told before leaving Australia a postal vote may not reach her in time to be counted so she'll be voting at the Australian embassy in London.
"I just wanted to make sure that my vote actually did register so I'm going to go into the embassy in London to vote, into Australia House. I think it's really important because to be able to be part of democracy you need to be able to participate and at times when you're travelling for work or for family, or there's a whole range of circumstances that can make it difficult to vote on the day, so being able to vote early I think is really critical."
Postal voting closes at 6pm AEST on Wednesday June 29th.

Folding glasses are an essential for any glasses wearer. They fit comfortably and work with any prescription, and can be folded up into a tiny case, back pocket or little handbag after use. This gives you the freedom to do all sorts of activities without wearing glasses all the time. The innovative folding frames also allow you to carry your glasses around without the need to find a particular bag for them, or balance them on your head.
Folding glasses are made of incredibly thin and lightweight frames, which allow them to be packaged up into discrete little cases. This means that wearers can wave goodbye to frames sliding off their heads or shirt collars, or getting crushed at the bottom of their bags. Instead, their folding glasses can be neatly tucked away and remain protected. Good quality foldable glasses are made with tough hinges, bridges and arms for this exact purpose. Most also come with padded cases, so if you sit down with them in your back pocket, panic not. The folding glasses will survive.
This is a very important question, and to be frank, the answer is pretty much everyone. Nevertheless, we have picked four top uses for folding glasses. We are sure you can relate to one of them.
For those who need reading glasses:
It is increasingly common for people to reach the age of 40 and develop symptoms of presbyopia. Don’t let the technical name put you off. All it means is that with age, the eye becomes less flexible. It can therefore see objects in the distance clearly, but struggles to focus on text up close. As a result, many people start to wear reading glasses.
The problem with reading glasses is that although you will be able to see things that are near to you, the landmarks on the horizon will start to appear slightly hazy. This is where foldable frames come into play. With the best folding reading glasses, you can read a menu, a map, a signpost, whatever it is. Next, simply slide the frames off your nose, fold them up, place them in your pocket, and admire the view.
The glasses will remain safely tucked in your pocket or bag until you next need them, when you can quickly slide them out again and pop them back on your nose whenever you need to. Folding glasses are therefore a wonderful solution for giving reading glasses wearers more flexibility.
For those that don’t like wearing glasses:
There are many people who may only need glasses to see particular things. Such as text up close, or to see far away. There are also many of these people who dislike wearing glasses, and will go to great lengths to avoid them. In this case, it is possible to buy varifocal contact lenses that allow you the flexibility of bringing different distances into focus. This means that people can see clearly, without having to adapt to wearing glasses frames that they may not feel comfortable with. However, contact lenses can be a right faff. The better solution is definitely folding glasses.
With folding glasses, those that don’t feel confident in their glasses face, or don’t like the feel of wearing them, can quickly remove the glasses when they don’t need them. For example, you go out on a dinner date and feel more confident without glasses, but you need to read the menu. Simply take your amazing folding glasses out of your pocket of clutch, elegantly slide them on your face, pick what you want to eat, and then hide them again as if nothing ever happened! Then you can enjoy the rest of the evening without feeling self-conscious about your glasses, and without having mis-read the menu.
For the fashionistas out there:
It is true that eyewear can be a fashion statement in itself. There are hundreds of designer brands on offer, so you can look bang on trend, even in specs. However, sometimes we like to show off our fashion sense without drawing attention to our eyewear. In this case, folding glasses frames are perfect. You can find designer frames such as Ray-Ban folding glasses, but once you take them off, the real perk is that the folding glasses fit neatly into your designer suit or clutch. Once they are hidden conveniently away, you can make a real fashion statement with your perfectly coordinated outfit, and still keep your eyewear to hand, just in case.
For sportspeople that wear glasses:
Folding glasses are most commonly used by those who need them for reading. But the need for reading glasses can strike at any moment, and often catch you unawares. In this situation, many have been known to use a friend’s pair of glasses, or ask someone to read things out to them. You need no longer resort to this when you have a pair of folding glasses frames. Even when you head out for a run or cycle, you can pop the glasses in your pocket. They are so lightweight you won’t have to worry about them slowing you down! If you stop mid-workout to check directions, you can whip out your compact folding reading glasses with case, and read the map or signposts.
It is also possible to find folding sunglasses with polarized lenses. These have been used in the sports world by rock climbers, who alternate between glasses as they cross in and out of shady patches on the cliffs. Once they have used the glasses, they can safely place the compact folding glasses with case back in their pocket and not worry about them getting scratched on the rockface.
For more information on the benefits of folding reading glasses, see our guide here.
The secret to folding glasses lies in their miniature frame hinges. There are some in the arms, and some by the nose bridge. To reduce scratching on the lenses, these glasses fold outwards, unlike any other frames. The arms then sit comfortably in the centre of the fold, to avoid any wear and tear to pressure points, which could potentially lead to a looser fit or weaker hinges.
The brand we highly recommend is Persol, which happens to be the most renowned label for folding glasses. The best model of Persol folding glasses to go for is the PO9714, which comes in either brown Havana or black frames. The folding glasses frames are made of a durable plastic that offers a sleek and modern look. The frame design is incredibly iconic of the brand, and was recently redeveloped to be even thinner, smaller and lighter, to truly optimize the folding system. You can insert any prescription lenses from our wide selection into the frames, to ensure both clarity of vision and top-knotch practicality. You can also find a range of optional tints and coatings on our website, such as blue light blocking and scratch resistance.
So what are you waiting for? Browse our selection now to find the best folding prescription glasses for you. At SmartBuyGlasses we are proud to share our Virtual Try On tool so that you can picture yourself in the frames before you commit to purchase. However, we still give you 100 days to return the glasses if you change your mind. You can also take advantage of our 24 month warranty and price match guarantee.

Do You Need Night Driving Glasses?
Driving at night can be stressful and dangerous due a number of factors, including low natural light levels and high glare from other vehicles. Some eyewear brands sell night driving glasses, designed to help your eyes on dark roads - but, do they work and do you need them? This guide seeks to answer your questions about night driving glasses, to help you make informed decisions when it comes to your road safety and eye health.
What Are Night Driving Glasses?
Night driving glasses are glasses with non-prescription, tinted lenses that range in color from light yellow to amber. Originally designed to increase contrast and clarity to help shooters hit their targets, yellow-tinted glasses help in the same way on poorly-lit roads. Anti-glare night driving glasses are also available to buy. These glasses have a special coating that stop too much light from reflecting off the lenses - increasing visual acuity and reducing distractions from inside the car.
How Do Night Driving Glasses Work?
Night time driving glasses reduce glare by scattering and filtering out blue light, similar to zFORT® glasses technology. Blue light has the shortest wavelength and the largest amount of energy of any kind of visible light. Unlike types of light with longer wavelengths, blue light is more likely to cause glare when it enters the eye.
Do These Glasses Really Work?
Some wearers of night driving glasses report that they’re better able to see at night while wearing them. However, visual tests indicate that night driving glasses do not improve night vision, and do not help drivers see obstacles any faster than they would without them. If you are required to wear prescription glasses to drive, do not switch them out for non-prescription yellow night driving glasses; they are not a direct substitute - more of an additional measure for people with good eyesight already.
Night Blindness
If you have difficulty seeing in dim or dark lighting, or driving in the dark, you may have nyctalopia or night blindness. It also makes it hard for the eyes to transition from bright light to dim light, which is why driving at night against oncoming traffic can be problematic. One cause of night blindness is cataracts, which you can learn more about here.
What Type of Glasses Should Not Be Worn While Driving at Night?
While prescription glasses will help to improve your vision, and yellow lenses may slightly improve it, sunglasses and darker tinted lenses can be incredibly dangerous for driving at night. They lower your ability to see a contrast in light during a dark time of day. If you are struggling with your vision, it is imperative not to wear sunglasses at night.
Solutions to Low-Light Lack of Visibility
Night driving glasses are certainly not an all-curing solution to poor visibility at night - they’re definitely not ‘night vision glasses for driving’. However, in dim to light conditions they may increase some clarity in your field of vision. Here are some tips that will actually improve visibility while driving at night:
Keep your glasses prescription up to date by getting regular eye exams.
Smudges can amplify glare, so wipe your glasses down with a dry microfiber cloth before driving.
Make sure your car windows are clean both inside and out, since dirt streaks and dust can amplify glare.
Replace your windshield wipers regularly.
Keep dashboard lights dim, to avoid eye strain while night driving.
Keep your headlights clean and free of grime.
See an optician if your vision changes or seems to deteriorate at night.

The climate crisis is deepening, with emissions and temperatures continuing to rise and extreme weather events becoming more frequent and more intense. As countries across the world have struggled to deal with the devastating effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, action within the global community to address the climate crisis has fallen short of what will be required to prevent irreversible climate change. The damaging impact of the historical and current actions of humanity on the planet and the climate are a matter of fact. As we approach the COP26 summit in Glasgow, the Socialist International once again urges united, swift and concerted action from all countries and governments, to prevent the planet from passing a tipping point beyond which permanent climate change is unavoidable.
In the last two months, two major reports have been published that leave no room for doubt that on current trends, we are heading towards a climate change catastrophe. On 9 August, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presented its first major assessment report since 2013, noting the unprecedented changes taking place to the Earth’s climate ‘in every region and across the whole climate system’. It reiterates that without immediate, strong and sustained reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, ambitions to limit global warming to safe levels are unachievable. Regrettably, despite this year marking five years since the signing of the Paris Agreement, there is no evidence that we are on course to achieve such goals. After a temporary reduction in CO
2 emissions during 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, emissions are once again rising, as outlined in the United in Science 2021 report compiled by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), released on 16 September.
As underlined by the UN secretary general in recent days, as a planet we are way off course when it comes to the actions and commitments necessary to prevent this climate crisis from escalating into an environmental disaster from which there is no recovery. The United in Science 2021 report notes that it is likely that the threshold of a 1.5 degree increase above pre-industrial levels will be breached in the next five years. Although immediate and sustained reductions in CO
2 emissions could quickly bring benefits when it comes to air quality, according to the IPCC report, even a stabilisation in global temperatures could now take 20-30 years, underlining how costly inaction could prove to be.
There is also overwhelming scientific consensus that global warming is behind the increased frequency in extreme weather events in recent years. The IPCC report confirmed that human-induced climate change is responsible for increasing the frequency and intensity of many weather and climate extremes in every region across the globe. Such events have in the last year alone caused great suffering, loss of life and environmental destruction as a result of wildfires, flooding, storms and heatwaves. The spiralling impacts of extreme weather on economies and societies must not be underestimated.
Governments around the world have the capacity to act with unprecedented speed and in cooperation, yet when it comes to the existential threat of climate change there remains a lack of urgency in global coordinated action, compounded by climate denial and an unwillingness to make necessary sacrifices for the future of the planet as a result of misguided self-interest. The effects of the pandemic make this moment in time particularly crucial, as emissions are now rapidly accelerating after a temporary hiatus as a result of Covid. More must be done on a global level to work for a green recovery after the pandemic and avoid a return to ‘business as usual’.
In just over a month the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference will take place in Glasgow. Due to the postponement of the summit last year, this is the first of the planned quinquennial global stocktakes agreed in 2015 at COP21, under which Parties are expected to re-evaluate their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in light of the most recent climate science, and strengthen their existing commitments. The unconditional NDCs under the Paris Agreement are manifestly insufficient to limit global warming to the 2C goal, let alone 1.5C, with the emissions gap as large as ever.
It will therefore not be enough for world leaders to simply reiterate prior commitments. Parties must surpass 50% reductions in global emissions by 2030 and reach net zero emissions by 2050, an ambitious but necessary goal, if there is to be any chance of limiting global warming and preventing a climate catastrophe. It is clear that this should take place in line with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, as developed countries are at present in a position to make earlier and deeper cuts to emissions. But it requires all countries to have a net zero goal, which to be achieved will need increased focus on green growth in developing countries and financial assistance in order to transition to a low-carbon economy.
The delay to COP26 was largely unavoidable due to the effects of the pandemic, but there is no excuse for continued delays in taking decisive action on a global level on climate change. Scientists, multiple UN bodies, environmental groups and organisations such as the Socialist International have for many years been documenting and analysing the phenomenon of human-induced climate change, outlining the steps necessary on a global level to prevent irreversible damage to our planet and advocating for all governments to come together to overcome this common threat. The SI has taken many initiatives on climate change, with the participation of senior government figures, experts and ministers in order to come up with concrete policy proposals and solutions for ensuring climate justice by tackling climate change without restricting development potential in the developing world.
The Socialist International will continue to be dedicated to advocating strong action on climate change through the efforts of its member parties and the regular work and initiatives of its regional and thematic committees on this issue, as well as of its statutory bodies. It is a task to be approached with the utmost seriousness and urgency, to secure the future of our shared planet and the welfare of the generations to come.

The local government sector is
changing rapidly. Municipalities are being assigned more and more government tasks and additional responsibilities: youth care, for example, but also – partly due to the coronavirus crisis – safety and communication. To be able to carry out these additional tasks as a local government organisation, you have to give your employees the right knowledge and skills, now and in the future.
This is a challenge for HR managers, Learning & Development advisers and Organisational Development advisers. After all, how do you go from ad hoc solutions to a
structural training policy, while the workload on staff continues to increase?

When the sun goes down in the evening, you don’t want strangers seeing into your Gainesville residence. You have the option to put up various products to block your windows and prevent a clear view inside, but some products are see-through or have open spaces at the sides. On some occasions, you may get up in the morning to discover that you forgot to shut the blinds or shades last night. To prevent curious onlookers from visually intruding, try custom plantation shutters as nighttime privacy window treatments in Gainesville. You might also consider using pre-programmed automated roller shades so you don’t forget to close them again.
Select Louvered Shutters For Nighttime Privacy Window Treatments In Gainesville
In the event your store-bought blinds have gaps at the sides that impede complete privacy, replace them with custom-fitted plantation shutters. These popular options are suitable nighttime privacy window treatments for Gainesville homes since they are carefully fabricated to fit your windows perfectly and avoid gaps. At the ordering phase, you can choose one of the following nontransparent options: hardwood or faux wood. When installed, the louvers can be adjusted to rest against adjacent ones to restrict any sightline into your interior when shut. Nobody on the exterior will be able to see anything but the faintest glow of light coming through your shutters after you close them in the evening
If you like the idea of louvered shutters to ensure privacy after the sun sets, you should also contemplate using composite shutters for the extra advantage of conserving energy. These Polywood window treatments are equipped with weather protection that offers another level of insulation. They help keep out drafts that reduce your home’s comfort levels by allowing air to leak through your window openings. If you like your bedroom at a specific temperature for sleeping, install Polywood shutters to help you maintain the preferred comfort level all year long
With Automated Shades, You Won’t Have To Remember To Close Them In The Evening.
Nighttime privacy window treatments in Gainesville only work if you remember to adjust them after sundown. If not, you may arise the following day and speculate on whether anyone saw through your windows when it was dark out. If you typically forget to shut the window treatments before bed, go with automated motorized window shades that open and close on your preset plan.
Automated roller shades have a motor to run them. Depending on the model, you are able to direct them using a smartphone app or remote. You even have the option to program your mechanized window coverings to close whenever you want. All you have to do is instruct your virtual helper like Amazon Alexa to lower the shades as part of your pre-programmed nighttime routine, and you don’t need to stress about forgetting to cover your windows again.
Nearly each type of window shade has motorized options. You are able to select amongst distinctive Roman shades, fun cellular shades, or popular roller shades to match your unique preferences while still enjoying the advantage of products that shut automatically.

Status of the merchant bankers 65 merchant banks got licences 10-12 IPOs get approval every year Some banks are under BSEC observation The majority of them manage portfolios only BSEC is strict on enforcing conditions
The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) has sought information from merchant banks and portfolio managers on their performance as the regulator believes many of the institutions are not fulfilling their licensing conditions.
A merchant banker or a portfolio manager engages in the area of issue and portfolio management of its own and clients as well as underwriting – a process through which an individual or institution takes on financial risk for a fee.
As per licensing conditions effective from 2010, a merchant bank must submit documents for at least one initial public offering (IPO) to the BSEC every two years.
Additionally, it will have to create five new client portfolios in addition to its own portfolios every year.
BSEC officials said some merchant banks cannot fulfil their licensing conditions regarding issue and portfolio management.
A dozen of merchant banks are active in all activities – issue and portfolio management as well as underwriting – while the majority of them manage portfolios only.
The commission will look into the business activities of those merchant banks and portfolio managers, added the officials.
After getting information, the commission is likely to bring some merchant banks under an investigation to find out the reasons behind their poor performance, the officials said.
Sources said between 2010 and 2020, some merchant banks were less active in issue management.
They are AB Investment, Abaci Investments, Agrani Equity and Investment, AIBL Capital Management, Bangal Investment, BLI Capital, City Bank Capital Resources, Cosmopolitan Finance, Exim Islami Investment, Green Delta Capital, GSP Investment, Hal Capital, IIDFC Capital, Islami Bank Capital Management, Jamuna Bank Capital Management, Meghna Capital Management, Race Portfolio & Issue Management, Riverstone Capital, Roots Investment, Strategic Finance, and Uttara Finance Capital Management Limited.
Some merchant banks such as City Bank Capital Resources have been performing well in the bond market.
On the other hand, ICB Capital Management, AFC Capital Limited, Imperial Capital, LankaBangla Investments, Prime Bank Investments, Banco Finance & Investment, IDLC Investments, AAA Finance & Investment Ltd are mostly active in bringing new issues to the market, sources said.
BSEC has requested Bangladesh Merchant Bankers Association (BMBA) to collect information from its members in a directed format and submit it to the regulator within the next five working days.
Market insiders said 65 merchant banks are working in the capital market which sees only 10-12 IPOs every year.
BMBA President Saidur Rahman said the licensing conditions are not practical as only a few IPOs get approval every year.
Merchant banks should be active in their respective fields to make the capital market vibrant, he added.
Mahbub H Mazumdar, managing director of AFC Capital, said merchant banks should comply with the licensing conditions properly as they are the lone gateway for new companies to enter the market.
He said merchant banks having poor performance should appoint skilled manpower to play their due role and the regulator should appreciate the good performing investment banks.
BSEC Executive Director and spokesman Mohammad Rezaul Karim said at first, the commission wants to know the status and then, it will find out the reasons why some merchant banks and portfolio managers failed to comply with licensing conditions.
After getting all documents, the commission will scrutinise them and take the next steps, he added.

Hawai‘i’s Senior Member of Congress Models Compassionate Governance for Up-and-Coming National Leaders Ida Yoshinaga
Mazie Hirono laughs in surprise when I offer congratulations on her latest honor, the Bruce F. Vento Public Service Award, which the National Park Trust will on June 25 present to Hawai‘i’s senior member of Congress, the first woman of color to receive this recognition.
“Oh, thank you! I’m a big supporter of our national parks; in fact, I have a lifetime pass,” she shares. The U.S. Senator deploys wry humor to deflect the conversation away from the decades of quiet work she has performed to earn this annual award that since 2001 has acknowledged American political leaders that marshal both bureaucratic innovation and legislative skills towards protecting public lands and waters.
“You have to be a certain age to get it (the pass); it’s one of the benefits of getting more mature, I suppose,” she jokes. Hirono’s humble reticence about her commitment to preserving the environment and supporting eco-educational efforts which connect generations of children to nature, testifies to the relative rarity of today’s media reporters who inquire about her
bipartisan efforts. My question raises a politically neutral subject about which Hirono is not normally asked nowadays.
The National Park Trust, after all, has granted this distinction to both Democratic Party stalwarts such as U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (NV) and notable Republicans including Sen. Richard Burr (NC), to whom the Vento Award had been last given in 2019. In selecting Hirono for its 20
th award in 2020, the Trust lauded her service on the Subcommittee on National Parks and on the Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining, within the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The National Park Trust clearly views planetary protection as a both-Party issue. A Voice for Immigrants
These days, however, Mazie Hirono is better known for her high-profile Congressional work towards traditional Democratic Party causes, achievements gone viral in the politically bifurcated age of Trump. The mainstream news media on the U.S. continent first started to feature the naturalized U.S. citizen when she spoke out quite vocally — less than five years into her Senatorial work but about a decade into her longer Congressional tenure — against the Trump administration’s 2017 ending of the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program. From 2017-18, Hirono, then the only current immigrant elected to the Senate, made headlines when she fiercely defended the “DREAMers,” the 1.8 million children brought into the U.S. by parents who did not come into the country legally.
[See the “Politics” special by Richard Borreca in the March 2, 2018, issue of
The Hawai ʻ i Herald for how Hirono had battled anti-immigration efforts of Pres. Trump, while dealing with her 2017 kidney-cancer diagnosis. For digital subscribers, see thehawaiiherald.com/2018/03/12/politics-americas-child-goes-to-bat-for-the-dreamers/.]
Today, Mazie Keiko Hirono, first-generation immigrant from Fukushima prefecture, proud daughter of
kibei single mother Laura Chie Sato — after a career characterized both by behind-the- scenes bipartisan work as well as by judicious, if heretofore below-the-radar, advancement of Democratic Party staple issues — is an unlikely, if prominent, political star of the coronavirus era. She has been hosting virtual town halls for community members most likely to be affected by the virus, such as a recent one for the AARP, which represents seniors and retirees, as well as sponsoring legislation to protect the most vulnerable as COVID-19 deaths rise globally. COVID-19: Challenging Our Nation’s Leaders to Protect Their People
“The thing is, the virus — whether you’re a Republican or Democrat — the virus doesn’t care. And especially for seniors, it’s a huge concern for them, because they’re very vulnerable — as are immigrants, as are poor people,” she tells me. “The healthcare disparity in our country has really been shown by this virus.”
Hirono is especially critical when speaking on national leadership decisions made by Trump, Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and others, which she views as hurting American workers forced to return to the job without the proper protection against the coronavirus. Since the virus’s explosion across major U.S. cities in March, employees at Amazon factories and Whole Foods stores, as well as labor unions at pork- and poultry-processing plants, have organized to protest the lack of safeguards by their employers to shield them, as well as consumers, from COVID-19 transmission.
“You see the presence of this virus in meat-packing plants,” Hirono notes, “And for the president to use his Defense Production Act to force them to stay open — instead of making sure we have enough tests, instead of really pushing for the development of a vaccine, instead of going in those directions — he uses that Act in a very limited way.
“There should be a national testing; there should be a national coordination of supply chains. Instead, you have the states fending for themselves where they have to compete with each other for necessary equipment. This is a pandemic; there should be a national testing program, and, as I say, a national system for distributing items. But the president will not go there. Why? It’s too much (for him) to take responsibility,” she observes. Hirono bemourns the political nature of the president’s response to what could easily have been a bipartisan issue, the widespread medical challenge presented by the virus. “Facts and science departed from Trump a long time ago, sad to say,” she quips.
The blunt clarity of Hirono’s statements seems to have struck a chord with millennial journalists who, over the past two years, had already anointed the now-outspoken critic of Trump-era Republican politics as the next liberal politician to watch.
The New York Times has called Hirono “unabashedly fiery” and a “leading Democratic voice,” and NPR categorized her transformation from the “ʻgood girl’ of Hawaii politics” to a “dogged, albeit polite,” fighter with “quiet rage” that poses serious challenges to Trump and his policies. Despite the problematic gender and cultural insinuations of the latter comments, the message is clear: our senator has arrived. Hirono’s Fight for Equality
Far beyond Hawaiʻi, Hirono is now viewed as a role model to the next generation of U.S. politicians, after a hard-won career as an elected official that reaches back to 1980. Despite being personally at risk for coronavirus fatality as a survivor of stage 4 cancer, Hirono has led the way for younger Asian American members of Congress such as Rep. Grace Meng (NY), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (IL) and Rep.
Judy Chu and Sen. Kamala Harris (CA) to sponsor or sign onto joint resolutions that urge the federal government to take action against the unrecognized rise in COVID-19-related, anti-Asian hate crimes.
Recent racist activities against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have been anticipated by the FBI and reported by ethnic presses and news sites, but coronavirus-age AAPI-targeted violence was largely ignored at the Congressional and Department of Justice levels. Hirono’s name was listed first among the co-authors of a public May 1 letter alongside Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, and 13 other U.S. Senators, who together demanded that the DOJ use its Civil Rights Division to plan for this increase in hate crimes and designate a DOJ official to be in charge of such crimes so as to coordinate effective handling with other government agencies. Parallel efforts by the Hawai‘i senator, to create joint Congressional resolutions decrying the rise of such crimes, have inspired Chu and her cohort of Representatives of color to educate their fellow members of Congress on the seriousness of the issue, according to Asian Journal.
“There has been an increase in crimes against Asian Americans, but it starts with an environment where the President can call this a ʻChinese virus,’” Hirono observes, “creating, I think, an environment where this kind of anti-Asian-ness can begin to pick up. And they have.”
Asian American organizations have connected comments from the Trump administration — such as one White House official labeling the virus the “Kung-Flu” — with over 1,700 incidents of anti-Asian hate speech, violence and discrimination across the U.S. from March 19 through May 13, as calculated by STOP AAPI HATE reporting center.
Hawai‘i’s one-time lieutenant governor to Gov. Benjamin Cayetano during the turn of the millennium, who had earlier cut her legislative teeth on 14 years in the State House of Representatives, Sen. Hirono is now coming into national recognition relatively late in life, as media commentators on the mainland have begun to associate the 72-year-old public servant’s name with nation-wide efforts to lessen inequality and prejudice for not only immigrants, but for women, working-class people and other marginalized populations.
Standing Up for Small Businesses and Higher Education
Two examples demonstrate that, after the COVID-19 outbreak, Hirono has acted to bolster the interests of small business people and newcomers to American higher education — rather than of large corporations and Ivy-League universities, which the Trump administration and Republicans have been widely criticized for supporting through their lopsided version of coronavirus relief.
“This is why when Mitch McConnell came up with, ‘Let’s just put another $250 billion into (the) PPP’ [Paycheck Protection Program], without any parameters, we (Democrats) fought against that,” Hirono explains about the early coronavirus relief measures funded by Congress. “Because the first $350 billion in PPP went out to, not to the small businesses — the average loan for that first round was $200,000!” she exclaimed, criticizing the ways that taxpayer funds had initially gone to big business.
“We said, ‘We’re not going to just do that; you know, we have to set aside money for small businesses,’ so $60 billion of the additional $310 billion in COVID 3.5, we set aside for community banks,” she confided. “So nationally, the average loan amount from this second tranche of money for PPP has been $70,000, and in Hawai‘i, it has been closer to $50,000 ($46,000); clearly more of this money was going to the smaller businesses which is what should have been happening.”
The second example: the senator seemed to know that rural and minority-serving universities might not provide first-generation college attendees, or students surviving off financial aid, adequate Internet connectivity while studying at home during states’ shelter-in-place orders. Hirono’s mid-May co-sponsorship of a Supporting Connectivity for Higher Education Students in Need Act proposed putting $1 billion towards internet access, Wi-Fi hotspots, routers, modems, laptops, tablets and other devices to assist non-traditional students in graduating despite the chaos of the world around them.
In addition to these actions, Hirono also suggests creating what she calls a “COVID 4” bill
— a newest rendition of the three earlier federal stimulus bills to aid states, communities and individuals against the virus’ economic ravages — which she feels Congress should next pass. Such a bill would aim to (1) support small businesses even further; (2) aid state and local governments in their looming budget shortfalls; (3) create a national testing program for the coronavirus; and (4) keep the U.S. Post Office open and running so that those who rely on it for medication, social security payments, voting and census-taking, can continue to use mail services at affordable prices.
To me, Hirono’s casually detailed proposal seems somewhat different from, perhaps even less bipartisan in nature than, the actual House of Representatives Democrats’ $3 trillion Heroes Act (which, at the time of the writing of this article, is not expected to make it through the Senate), criticized not only by Republicans but also by centrist, as well as radical progressive, Democrats for not being achievable due to its allegedly partisan nature, for not going far enough to offer real help to the American people — or both. As ever, the seasoned politician comes off as liberal, but also pragmatic — perhaps lessons learned long ago, at home in Hawai‘i nei.
A Legacy of Fearless Women
Known till recently as a tenacious but low-key fighter, Mazie Hirono was raised in a single-parent family by a mother who had famously fled an abusive spouse, to immigrate to the islands with her children, a single suitcase shared among them, in the steerage section of a Honolulu-bound ship from Yokohama harbor. [
Full disclosure: To support her children, Hirono’s breadwinner mother began her career working at the print shop of the Herald’s parent company, the Hawai‘i Hochi — “for minimum wages with no benefits” (see hirono.senate.gov/about).]
Hirono has often publicly acknowledged her mother’s strength, which many perceive as mirrored within the first Buddhist U.S. senator’s own persistence and patience amidst the sexist, racist realm of U.S. electoral politics. Her earlier attacks on the president (“a misogynist, compulsive liar, and admitted sexual predator,” she summed up in a much-quoted Dec. 12, 2017, tweet) were launched before the new wave of Congressional Democrats from historically diverse origins, such as the socially conscious, all women-of-color “Squad” (U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib), got elected in Nov. 2018 during a country-wide political backlash against Trump’s ascent. Hirono had stood up to the president on the DACA/DREAMers issue back when Washington, D.C., was still dominated by Republicans
— a risky thing to do for a relatively new senator.
Before she even entered the Congressional stage, however, Mazie Hirono also survived rising through the ranks of the late-twentieth-century Hawai‘i Democratic Party. I and other
sansei feminists raised in the islands — who came of age as young women in the 1980s, just as the fruits of 1960s feminism had started to kick in at mainstream social institutions like government and business — have long noticed that the Hawai‘i Democratic Party of the era had resembled a pro-development, tourism-industry-driven macho “machine.”
The rare female politician at that time, like Democratic male candidates of ethnic-minority backgrounds who did not fit the Caucasian or Japanese American norm, had to play the game in order to be backed by mainstream Party power brokers, more often than not Japanese American men. I think that to survive those internal political and cultural restrictions, Hirono had to grow very skilled in building her constituency on common-sense issues such as consumer rights and education, chairing the state House Consumer Protection and Commerce Committee, no doubt honing her keen bipartisan abilities to appeal to broad voter populations that continue to serve the senator well to this day.
Enduring a 2002 failed attempt at the gubernatorial seat, Hirono then went on to three successful terms as the state’s U.S. Representative to the 2
nd Congressional District from 2007-2013, leading to her current seven-year-stint as Senator. During this time, she consistently supported bills and introduced legislation that protected women’s reproductive rights as well as those to secure the health and safety of girls and women.
These issues extend into the COVID-19 era. Hirono reflects upon recent efforts by Republican governors and state legislators across the U.S. to roll back such rights by defining the medical ending of pregnancies as a non-essential healthcare practice.
“Abortion is a medical necessity,” the senator states, “so what’s happened is that when the governors shut everything down and forced women in their states to go to another state to get this medically necessary service, they are endangering the lives of those women
.”
These dangerous trends that limit female choice run parallel with other gender inequality problems exacerbated by COVID-19, such as higher incidences of household intimate partner violence and the legal threat of visas and work permits ending for immigrant women including sex workers, she says.
Though American journalists generally took notice of the vocal proponent for immigrant families beginning in 2017, it was Hirono’s fiery, take-no-prisoners interrogation of Trump’s controversial Supreme Ct. Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh in Sept. 2018, as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, that cemented her status as media luminary.
When the nation’s first Asian American female Senator — and career-long advocate of women’s rights for control over their bodies and against their domestic abuse — publicly said of Kavanaugh sex-assault accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, “I believe her,” Hirono’s star started to shine, setting her in the national firmament of frontline Congressional progressives.
A New Vision for the Future
For the COVID-19 age, the senator argues for governance policies backed by scientific research and data, accomplished over carefully administered phases, rather than rushing into reopening states and industries without first observing the virus’ medical impacts upon the public and workers. Perhaps because she now enjoys the reputation of a national Democratic Party leader in the millennium, she also seems to depart from old-school, twentieth-century views of mainstream Hawai‘i Democrats that dictate blind dependence on the visitor industry as the sole economic engine for the islands.
“Tourism can be a very precarious thing to rely upon, as we saw after 9/11,” the Senator recalls, suggesting that the long-term economic fallout for Hawaiʻi due to the coronavirus will be greater than what had happened after those attacks. Post-COVID tourism, Hirono predicts, will require a national, state-by-state effort to revive that industry, rather than solely local approaches, as she notes in a hopeful tone the rise in regional cooperation between states in the coronavirus era.
Perhaps due to her service on the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Hirono is quick to mention the energy industry as one possible economic sector to create Hawai‘i jobs as part of the “new normal,” based on Hawai‘i’s national leadership role in the field. “We are at the forefront in energy self-sufficiency. And this from a state that was importing more than 90% of the fossil fuels that we used for electricity and our cars and transportation,” she boasts.
Secondly, she also hopes that island leadership can build upon STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields as part of Hawai‘i’s post-COVID-19 job force, especially recruiting from female and minority populations.
Third, the senator also regards healthcare a key segment of Hawai‘i’s future labor market, as she views medical, nursing, elderly and home health care services as part of a growing and much-needed sector of the local economy. “We should be providing financial support for people to go to medical school, to go to nursing school, and all of the other healthcare workers that we will need in our community,” she says. Noting that the islands already experience a shortage of primary-care doctors, Hirono takes the long view: “What the medical community and scientific community are saying is that there will be another pandemic, and we need to be better prepared to deal with it.”
Fourth and finally, Hirono feels that the current COVID-19 situation has revealed Hawaiʻi’s over-dependence on outside food. She thus hopes that local government officials can support farmers and other producers in the Hawaiʻi agriculture industry towards greater food self-sufficiency, even as a possible major employment sector. This would involve taking actions such as making land more affordable and providing water, she suggests.
Some neighbor island mayors like Maui’s Michael Victorino, as well as community-based coalitions such as the Kanaka Maoli members of the ‘Āina Aloha Economic Futures Declaration, have echoed similar sentiments about adopting an environmentally sustainable industrial policy for the islands post-coronavirus. However, I have noticed that many prominent Honolulu political and economic leaders, by contrast, prioritize reviving high-volume, commercial visitor travel, with the Hawai‘i Lodging and Tourism Association president/CEO Mufi Hannemann and other industry advocates pushing plans to market the islands as “the safest place in the world,” once the industry re-opens. They cannot imagine a future that does not revolve around the corporate mass-tourism industry; but perhaps due to her lifetime of experience, or her farther perspective from Washington D.C., Hirono manages to peek, to plan, beyond.
At the national level, Hirono expresses dismay at gun-toting protesters in mainland cities who have threatened elected officials with violence to demand re-opening local economies, as well as her alarm over conservative activists who insist on not wearing masks in public as their basic “rights.” Though she graciously approximates that such people constitute only a minority of all Americans across the nation (as well as a minority of Republicans), she admits, “When I see these people protesting — that they want their freedoms — don’t you think, ‘How selfish can you be, that you’re going to create an environment that endangers others?’
“And of course, to have a president saying, ‘We all have to make sacrifices for our way of life,’ going on (about) going back to World Wars I and II! And I’m thinking, ʻmy gosh’ — I was so appalled. I didn’t know
our way of life included sacrifices of the seniors in our community and the most vulnerable people, so that the rest of us can continue to consume and go shopping.”
Still Practicing Aloha With Eternal Vigilance
In such times, the senator admits to feeling honored to represent Hawai‘i where the virus has sparked feelings of mutual caring rather than partisan division. “The spirit of aloha lives on; I think it’s really important that there’s a sense of support for the least among us,” she says, speculating that Hawai‘i Food Bank donations and other collective-giving activities seem to have risen in past months. “Clearly, (for) all people who are out of jobs — there’s a kind of support that we need to provide that seems to be so much stronger in Hawai‘i. I’m proud and grateful.”
Forty years into her political career, the
shin– issei woman that NPR once ethnocentrically labeled as “dogged, but polite” pauses before answering my final question, about whether the “Squad” of social-justice-oriented Congressional members of color is a trend. “I hope so. Because all the battles — because I’ve been doing this for decades — for abortion rights, civil rights, we thought that those battles were won. But those battles never stay won. And so, eternal vigilance.
“We have to work across generations, so I’m glad to see AOC [Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, NY], Cory Booker [Sen., NJ], Kamala [Harris, Sen., CA], and all these younger people, because who knew that I would be one of the senior people? But the battle continues, and I’m glad that I’m still in the fight raising my voice.”

Zee’s founding family plots a twist in the tale and stays in control
More than half number of people diagnosed with Covid-19 experience post-Covid symptoms, known as long Covid, up to six months after recovering, according to a study.
The researchers at Penn State College of Medicine in the US noted that governments, health care organisations and public health professionals should prepare for the large number of Covid-19 survivors who will need care for a variety of psychological and physical symptoms.
During their illnesses, many patients with Covid-19 experience symptoms, such as tiredness, difficulty breathing, chest pain, sore joints and loss of taste or smell, they said.
The study, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, reviewed 57 reports that included data from 250,351 unvaccinated adults and children who were diagnosed with Covid-19 from December 2019 through March 2021.
Among those studied, 79 per cent were hospitalised, and most patients (79 per cent) lived in high-income countries. Patients’ median age was 54, and the majority of individuals (56 per cent) were male.
The researchers analysed patients' health post-Covid during three intervals at one month (short-term), two to five months (intermediate-term) and six or more months (long-term).
According to the findings, survivors experienced an array of residual health issues associated with Covid-19. Generally, these complications affected a patient's general well-being, their mobility or organ systems.
Overall, one in two survivors experienced long-term Covid manifestations. The rates remained largely constant from one month through six or more months after their initial illness.
Trends
The researchers noted several trends among survivors. More than half of all patients reported weight loss, fatigue, fever or pain. Roughly one in five survivors experienced a decrease in mobility.
Nearly one in four survivors experienced difficulty concentrating or were diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorders.
Six in ten survivors had chest imaging abnormality and more than a quarter of patients had difficulty breathing.
Chest pain and palpitations were among the commonly reported conditions. Nearly one in five patients experienced hair loss or rashes. Stomach pain, lack of appetite, diarrhoea and vomiting were among the commonly reported conditions.
"These findings confirm what many health care workers and Covid-19 survivors have been claiming, namely, that adverse health effects from Covid-19 can linger," said study co-lead investigator Vernon Chinchilli from Penn State.
"Although previous studies have examined the prevalence of long Covid symptoms among patients, this study examined a larger population, including people in high-, middle- and low-income countries, and examined many more symptoms," Chinchilli added.
The researchers noted that the mechanisms by which Covid-19 causes lingering symptoms in survivors are not fully understood.
These symptoms could result from immune-system overdrive triggered by the virus, lingering infection, reinfection or an increased production of autoantibodies – antibodies directed at their own tissues, they said.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus, the agent that causes Covid-19, can access, enter and live inthe nervous system, the researchers said.
As a result, nervous system symptoms such as taste or smell disorders, memory impairment and decreased attention and concentration commonly occur in survivors, they added.

With our new normal seeing us staying at home a lot more because of the current Covid-19 pandemic, there has never been a better time to invest in your garden. Because people are seeing the staycation as the default holiday this year, homeowners are going above and beyond the annual garden tidy-up and are embarking on a full remodel of their outside area. If you have triffid-like plants overtaking your borders, your lawn has seen better days, there are no zones to enjoy and you can’t even consider dining outdoors, it can be challenging to find the joy in your garden. You need to treat your garden like the interior of your home. Your humble abode is your pride and joy, so this should extend into your outside area.
Gardens are no longer a patch of lawn and a couple of side borders full of plants. There are all sorts of glorious garden styles for you to enjoy depending on how you see your garden being utilized. Will you want a grand, elegant array of blooms? Do you want to grow vegetables? Or are you seeing your garden as an outdoor party area? Take a look at how you can design your own garden using these ideas to inspire you.
Create Some Zones
Gardens serve many purposes. Some days you will be outdoors with the kids, spending some time playing games and kicking a ball around. All you need for this is some artificial grass that is resilient and requires little maintenance. Many individuals aren’t willing to put the mowing time in, and would rather have a permanent lush green carpet underfoot. This is why artificial lawn is so popular. Alternatively, you could plan for a pool out the back. For those kids who are active and a little older, a dip in the pool can be more attractive than the video games on offer inside. All you need to do is source water pump spare parts for your kidney shaped pool every couple of years, get it cleaned regularly and look forward to some exciting outdoor summer pool parties.
Vegetables
Many people are keen to explore the concept of sustainability. This means foregoing any reliance on supermarkets for food, and having a go at being more self sufficient. You could decide to create some raised beds, ready for sowing. Think about the vegetables you love to cook with and eat, and get planting. You might want a couple of rows of parsnips, some pumpkin and some artichoke. If you want to get the kids involved, think about whipping up a greenhouse or some polytunnels, and plant some strawberries, cucumbers and tomatoes. These salad veg and fruit enjoy the more humid conditions.
Al Fresco Dining
If you see the outside of our home as being an extension of your pad, you might want to consider how you can accommodate some outdoor dining. Whether you are having a barbecue or enjoying eating outdoors for a summer dinner party, you need a patio with an awning for cover adjacent to your home. This means your guests don’t have to go too far to sit and eat and relax and chat. Being a host, having your diners outside can be fun and enjoyable in the summer months. You could even give it a go during winter. While chillier, you can create a cozy atmosphere with an outdoor heater, a firepit and some subtle lighting.
Barbecues are also fun for the whole family. You could pick up some good quality garden furniture from a local garden center and enjoy eating some halloumi burgers, marinated salmon and grilled corn at the weekend.
Planting
If you adore flowers and color, it’s time to consider your planting. Don’t just head to the garden center and pick up flowers because you love the look of them without any planning. You need to work out when your flowers will bloom, whether you want all year round color, or whether you fancy some shrubbery or grasses. If you don’t have a green fingered bone in your body, it might be a good idea to pick up some wildflower seeds. These can be left to grow on their own and love nutrient poor soil. All you need to do is mow it back a couple of times a year. Wildflowers also help you do your bit for the environment as they are great pollinators for bees.
If you love an English country garden look, you’ll want traditional blooms. Consider some roses, hydrangea and scented heather and lavender. These are wonderful for those gardens that have a lot of colors: reds, yellows, oranges, and violets. If you prefer a more modern or exotic look, palms and bamboo can be ideal, provided you have the sunlight. Read up on the sort of plants that match well together and draw out your patch for planting. Then you can plot which shrub or flower you will plant where.
Water Feature
If you don’t have the room for a pool, but you still fancy a water feature, consider a fountain or an illusion orb. For a garden to be a relaxing space, the sound of water can add to the atmosphere of calm and tranquillity. Couple this with a hammock or some gentle swing seating, and you can have an extra zone where you can kick back, read a book, have some alone time, or chill with pals.
When you do have your garden zones, don’t forget the finer details. How will you move between each zone? Will you have a tiered garden or do you need to think about paths? Sand and paving come in all different sizes making an easy path to lay. You could opt for a shingle path instead or go for some decking.
Designing a garden can be tricky, so think about getting the professionals in if this gives you more confidence. There are many factors to consider with a garden, but follow this guide and you will soon weed it and reap!
Top 10 Simple Health Changes To Boost Your Well-Being
It does not matter how old you are, where you live, or what your occupation is, your health should always be a top priority. However, most of us are a little bit guilty of letting our well-being slide from time to time. With that being said, read on to discover some of the simple ways you can give your health a boost today.
Get rid of at least one item in your life that contains toxic chemicals– You may be shocked by just how many items in your life contain toxic chemicals. This includes everything from air fresheners to bed sheets. Get rid of one of these items and replace it with something natural instead. This is something you should make a habit to do every few months or so. You will be surprised by just how much of a difference this can make. Deep breathe for at least five minutes– Throughout the day, you should make sure you take the opportunity to deep breathe for at least five minutes. Why? Well, there have been numerous studies that have shown that deep breathing can help to lower stress hormone levels. This means that you will feel better, get an improved night’s sleep, and you will have less anxiety too. Drink more water– You probably expected this to be on the list, but the importance of drinking more water should never be ignored. Your body needs water for almost every function. If you are dehydrated, this could be the cause of headaches, pains, aches, and a number of other symptoms. Have one veggie night per week– A lot of people eat far too much meat, red meat especially. So, why not have a veggie night once a week? Not only is this good for your health, but it will be good for your bank balance too. There are so many great recipes online that can give you ideas regarding tasty and creative dishes that do not incorporate any sort of meat or fish. Once you start off with one night per week, you may then decide that you want to up it to two nights, and so on. However, it always helps to start off small so that it is easier and more manageable, and you can then get used to it. Sign up for an online pharmacy– Nowadays, you can easily order your prescriptions and medications over the Internet via an online pharmacy. This can help you to boost your health because it ensures you never experience delays with your medication. If you are someone who often doesn’t take their recommended course of tablets because you cannot get to the doctors in time for a repeat prescription, then this is definitely a good suggestion for you. Your medication will be delivered to your door with a click of a button. Make a dedicated effort to lower your stress levels– There is no denying that we live in a very stress-filled world at the moment! The world we live in is one that has heaps of pressure, and it can be difficult to stay on top of everything and keep those stress levels low. However, it is vital that you find a way to do so. After all, if you don’t adrenal fatigue and health can start to take a tumble, which is the last thing you want. For those who are unaware, adrenal fatigue relates to a group of different symptoms that impact people who are under a lot of physical, emotional, or mental stress. From being a single parent to having a stressful job, there are a lot of different reasons why you may be struggling. Therefore, we recommend that you look for different ways to reduce those stress levels so that you can enjoy a more calming and peaceful life. Whether it is doing some breathing techniques or taking more regular breaks so you can have moments for yourself, there are a lot of different ways that you can make sure you are keeping your stress levels to a minimum. The importance of this should not be overlooked, as stress can impact our mental and physical health in so many different ways. Do something nice for someone every day– You will be surprised by how good this makes you feel, and by how much this has a positive impact on your health. It’s all about mental well being. When you do something nice for another person, you are benefitting their health, as well as your own. First and foremost, there is no denying that it feels good to hear some nice words for someone or to get a helping hand when you need it. You feel recognised and appreciated, and this is something we all need. At the same time, doing something nice for someone else and seeing their reaction can make you feel amazing too. After all, doing something good for someone is a gift for yourself at the same time. You will find that the deed continues throughout the day, making you feel great and happy within yourself. Incorporate some movement into your commute– If you do not have an active job, this is particularly important. Sitting at a computer all day can be bad for your health. One way to combat this is by incorporating some movement into your commute. If you can walk or bike to work, you should give this a go. If not, start parking your car further away from your place of work so that you have to walk there and back. You should also start using the stairs instead of the elevator whenever you can. Start meal planning– You will find it much easier to eat healthily if you plan your meals. At the start of every week, make a menu of what you are going to cook for dinner every evening, as well as what you are going to make for your lunches every day. Not only will this help you to eat better, but you will save money too. Make sure you incorporate some healthy snacks into your food prep for work.

This ends up in an awful lot of waste, and we should all be looking to reduce this, so meal prep is great in many ways. Keep a journal– Last but not least, keeping a journal is good for a person’s mental health. You should write down your thoughts. It doesn’t need to be a long entry; you can simply jot down a few bullet points every evening. This will help you to articulate your thoughts so that they do not wear you down. After all, it can be very difficult to sleep if you have lots on your mind. A lot of experts advise this approach for people who suffer from insomnia. One of the main reasons why a lot of people struggle to get the hours of sleep they need is because they cannot shut off when they go to sleep; their minds are still going at a million miles per hour. They are thinking about what they need to do the following day and any worries or concerns that they may have. Because of this, it very much makes sense to keep a journal so you can offload some of these thoughts and worries and you can have a much more restful night of sleep.

New Hampshire Hit & Run Accident Attorneys Don’t Suffer the Financial Consequences of a Hit & Run
When a driver leaves the scene of a car accident before giving identifying and insurance information to the other drivers, they have committed the crime of a hit and run accident. It is every driver’s nightmare to get caught in a hit and run accident because it can seem like there is no way to get coverage for the resulting damages.
If you’re reeling from the aftermath of a hit and run accident, calling
(603) 716-9777 and speaking with an attorney from Upton & Hatfield, LLP should be at the top of your to-do list. We represent clients throughout New Hampshire, north to south. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us and tell us how we can be of legal assistance. Did you know we offer free case evaluations? Schedule one today with a New Hampshire hit and run accident lawyer! How to Pursue Compensation After a Hit & Run
Hit and run accidents can leave you with no options to pursue compensation, but not always. With the assistance of our law firm and law enforcement intervention, you might be able to get compensation yet. If you can tell the police enough about the driver and their car, then they might be able to find and arrest them, allowing you to file a claim against their insurance policy like normal.
A hit and run driver who remains unidentified creates a much different situation, though. You cannot file a claim against a phantom driver, so what do you do? If you own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) insurance through your auto insurance policy, then you can probably use that to seek coverage from your insurer, rather than a third-party insurance company.
UM/UIM insurance can provide coverage for: Medical bills Lost wages Vehicle repairs Pain and suffering (in some cases) Can You Get Punitive Damages for a Hit & Run?
When a court believes that a defendant should be further punished for their wrongdoing, it can approve of punitive damages.
Punitive damages are sometimes ordered when the defendant: Broke the law in the course of causing harm, such as committing a hit and run. Acted with egregious negligence, like driving 100 mph in a residential area.
However, punitive damages are rare because the insurance company representing the defendant is not obligated to pay for punitive damages in their place. The defendant will be ordered to pay them, which is often not possible because people have limited finances compared to an insurance company. Our attorneys can help you explore the possibility of seeking punitive damages, but we cannot promise that there is a high chance that they will be approved if your case goes to court.
Is a Hit & Run Claim a Criminal Case?
Committing a hit and run is a criminal act in every state. Filing a hit and run accident claim does not involve the criminal justice system, though. Civil courts and criminal courts are placed in intentionally separate legal circles.
Yet, any evidence used to convict the hit and run driver could potentially help you win your injury claim. If a court of criminal law was convinced that the driver committed a hit and run, then it is reasonable to say that a court of civil law should be convinced that the driver was liable for the accident.
We Prioritize Your Happiness & Satisfaction
Our hit and run accident attorneys in New Hampshire have extensive experience handling complicated cases that other law firms might not accept due to their difficulty. If you were hit by a driver who then ran away and escaped, then we can help you make the most of the situation by exploring all possible legal avenues for compensation.

And forgot to start again? When I saw this bumper sticker many years ago, I laughed out loud with a response of “yep, all day long.” How many times a day do you get distracted by all the “bright shiny objects” that continuously vie for our attention? Do you get to the end of a day with that to-do list still full? And, who doesn’t walk into a room and wonder “why did I come in here” and have to retrace your steps to remember? Or, is it just me? The truth is, we live in a world of information and stuff overload and our brains are so jumbled with conflicting data from so many “experts” or too much stimulation from all of our technological gadgets, making it difficult to focus, even when we desire it. Unless we are living on a deserted island, we all have the propensity for one of the many “alphabet soup” syndromes labeling our inability to give undivided attention to a specific task. Understanding how the brain works helps to create methods to teach ourselves ways to focus our attention on what is important for a healthy, joyful life, ultimately eliminating procrastination and self-sabotage. Every morsel of information that we are exposed to through our five senses, goes into the brain and either begins building a new neural pathway or gets connected with one already formed. If we repeat or receive that info continuously, that pathway gets more grounded and familiar, contributing to our behaviors and patterns — good or bad. So, just by living in our current world, we are continuously bombarded with too many bits of unimportant, unfiltered, and nonsensical information that just gets jumbled in with the other bits of the same, never really taking hold, resulting in confusion or deficits in our attention. If we could periodically “defrag” our brain like we do with our computer, we could clean out or organize the bits of data that are just floating around in there. But, that hasn’t been discovered … yet. In the meantime, one tool we all have is self awareness. Becoming aware of each moment allows us to focus on just that moment, not the other gazillion moments on the horizon. Start by tuning into those times when you feel overwhelmed, scattered or unfocused and just note where or how you feel it in the body. Then, allow yourself to stop for a moment, close your eyes if practical, take a deep breath and just be in gratitude for clarity and focus. Continue this process until you feel less scattered or a direction reveals itself to you. Quieting the mind allows that little voice in our head, often referred to as our inner wisdom or higher self, to be heard. I call it a “Divine Download” and am always grateful because I know I could never have come up with most of them on my own. This self awareness exercise can be repeated hundreds of times a day for as many days as is needed to create its own neural pathway, to become a part of who you are. Once you have mastered that layer, you are ready to tune into the next then the next and before you know it you will be enjoying your life more, accomplishing more things than you ever dreamed possible. As always, have fun with it because remember, life is only hard until it isn’t — you decide. Live Well … Have Fun! Therapeutic Solutions: Offering a unique approach to your active health care needs using a variety of healing modalities, nutritional and wellness coaching to empower you to a new state of health and well-being. 73 Sams Point Road, 524-2554.

Don't you feel like you have your life together when your nails are thriving? Same. There's just something about the feeling of long and strong nails with a fresh paint job that can turn your entire day around. On the other hand, breaking a nail is downright discouraging, but if you feel like your nails are always breaking or have been short and stubby forever, don't give up hope just yet. This is just a sign that you aren't giving your digits the TLC they need.
One of the best things we can do for A+ nails is taking vitamins.
Vitamins for nails contain the nutrients to strengthen brittle digits and give you the length you're after. Think of having strong nails like having healthy hair-nutrients are so necessary. We tapped two leading doctors of podiatric medicine,В Jackie SuteraВ and Emily Splichal, to fill us in on the best vitamins for nails and their takes on how to achieve the nail goals you want.
“
If you notice chipping and frequent breaking of your nails, this is a sign you may be nutrient deficient,” explains Splichal. “You may also notice that your skin is dry, your hair is brittle, and your nails are cracked as the deficiencies typically happen at the same time.”
When trying to strengthen and grow out your nails, you have to be consistent and patient with the process, says Sutera: “
Most people report noticeable changes after the two-month mark.” And according to Splichal, you may have to wait even longer for real changes. “Typically you want to allow at least one month of consistent supplementation to note an effect or change. However, sometimes it can take up to three months to see a benefit,” Splichal explains. But supplements aren't a one-and-done solution. “In addition to a healthy diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables, I suggest vitamins for nails should be taken daily for a lifetime. These healthy changes are lifestyle habits that shouldn't only be done for a month and then you revert back to bad habits.” Keep scrolling for their go-to vitamins that'll bring life to your nails. BiotinNatrol Biotin $14Shop
Sutera's favorite vitamin for nails is biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H: “I call it my beauty pill because it's shown to increase nail thickness and decrease splitting in individuals with brittle nails.” In fact, according to two studies featured in
The New York Times, several patients noticed stronger and longer nails after taking biotin for a few months.
“Biotin is a nutrient that plays a major part in maintaining the health of our hair, nails, and skin,” she says. It's “commonly added to hair and skin beauty products, although it's believed to be better absorbed and most beneficial when ingested.” Her shopping recommendation? “Look for high-quality brands like Natrol.”Solgar Biotin $23Shop
Splichal is also a believer in Biotin. Her go-to is the above option from Solgar.
Vitamin CLifeExtension Vitamin C $26Shop
Vitamin C has proven to help our bodies produce collagen, which is an essential protein that strengthens our nails tremendously. Deficiencies in vitamin C can result in brittle nails, which is why Splichal recommends Life Extension's Vitamin C because of its trusted ingredients.
Black Currant OilSwanson Black Currant $6Shop
Black currant is a fruit commonly found in Europe and Asia and, when taken in herbal supplement form, is proven to strengthen weak nails in over six to eight weeks. According to Splichal, black currant carries healthy fats that'll give your nails the protein they need.
Branched Chain Amino AcidsLifeExtension Branched Chain Amino Acids $12Shop
Branched chain amino acids help with tissue repair and regeneration in your nails. More importantly, Splichal notes that they provide your nails with lots of protein for nail growth.
Krill OilAntarctic Krill Oil $27Shop
This is another one of Splichal's essentials for nails because krill oil contains important nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, biotin, and zinc. All of these goods are proven to help stimulate nail growth, strength, and the overall health of your nails.
Up next, see how one little secret will work wonders for your nails.

While many art enthusiasts amass collections over a period of time by buying pieces individually, this isn't the only way to approach owning a collection. Another idea — which is one that can save you a lot of time — is to buy a collection of several pieces at one time. If you like the idea of buying an entire collection at once, you'll want to give some thought to where you'll shop. There are a handful of options to consider when looking for art collections for sale, including the following three places.
Art Gallery
People often visit local art galleries to browse the various types of artwork and potentially buy a single piece that they can display in their homes. If you've decided that you want to buy an entire collection at once, however, starting at your local gallery can still be a good idea. Not only will the gallery have trained staff members who can help you to decide what you want, but many galleries have large selections of artwork and can sell you several pieces that form a collection. A gallery may have an entire collection for sale during your visit, or you may be able to leave your name and have the gallery contact you if a collection becomes available.
Estate Auction
Another place to think about looking for an art collection for sale is at an estate auction. Browse some online estate auction listings to take note of which of these sales will have art available. If the auction is selling items from the estate of someone who owned a large selection of art, you may be able to buy an entire collection — perhaps a number of pieces from one specific artist — in a single transaction. Estate auctions can be highly competitive environments, so it's important to give careful thought to exactly what you want and how much you're willing to spend before the auction begins.
Private Seller
While some people buy pieces of art and hang onto them indefinitely, others enjoy buying and selling individual pieces and even entire collections over time. Buying a collection from a private seller is possible, although you want to be certain about the authenticity and the value of the collection that you're buying. If the prospective seller has no objections, consider asking them if they'd want to take their collection to a local art gallery. There, an expert can assess the authenticity of each piece and even provide information about the market value of the collection. This will allow you to buy with confidence.

Well, I've been so busy recently that I haven't posted. December often seems to be the busiest time of year -- and now it's time to do taxes.
I hope readers were able to take steps in advance, to profit from the lower interest rates as outlined in the last post. The economy and markets are weaker than most people expected, and the Fed has decided they'd better come to the rescue with aggressive rate cuts. Even with the two recent cuts totalling 125 basis points (1.25 percentage points), it's quite possible they will cut again at their next meeting in late March.
Although the economy won't really feel the effects of rate cuts for a few months, it's already helping some people as they rush to refinance their mortgages. It's helping others who have adjustable-rate mortgages because their rates won't adjust as high as they otherwise would.
By the way, I hope everyone has learned the lesson: When interest rates are low, it's not time to get an adjustable-rate mortgage. (In which direction do you think those
lowrates are gonna adjust?!) Even if rates are fairly high, it's a risk, and not to be taken lightly. Don't stretch to buy more house than you can afford, don't finance 90% or 100% of the house value, and make sure your mortagage doesn't have a prepayment penalty. Don't even buy a house unless you have a good emergency cash fund. These rules are basic, yet an enormous number of homeowners ignored them -- and are now paying the price. We all are paying with them, as neighborhoods become saturated with foreclosures, lenders become reluctant to make new loans, and the economy slows.
In other words, there's a lot to be said for the traditional fixed-rate mortgage. As interest rates fall, get ready to refinance if you can get a better rate, or if you currently have an adjustable rate.
Next time: Is it time to refinance right now?

Every student or professional has to go through one of those phrases in their lives when they are just about to transition from one big stage of their lives to another. For students, it is generally when they are about to graduate, and many are often stressed out beyond their minds during this part of their lives.
One great way to getting to know yourself and your skillset better while you have the necessary time in your hand is to write a personal statement for yourself. That way, you’ll get to know your strong points and the areas that could use a slight improvement. So, let's go over 5 points to help you write the perfect personal statement you need for success.
5 tips To Write the Perfect PersonalStatement 1. Keep In Mind Why You Are WritingThe Personal Statement
Even though the content in the personal statement written for a job interview and a university admission has the same content, the tone and style should differ quite a lot. Personal statements written for university admission should be a lot more descriptive in nature. For the personal statement for a job interview, the focus should be on your skills and knowledge.
Sometimes university or job interviews have specific requirements like format or word limit for their personal statements. This is why knowing beforehand where you want to use the personal statement will help you a lot.
2. Bring Your A-Game When You Arewriting The Introduction and the Conclusion
Ever heard of the expression, the first impression is the most important one? This is quite true in professional settings, and the introduction is the first impression for your personal statement. If you can’t hold the attention with the introduction, it will be tough later to salvage that.
The same goes for the conclusion. You need to provide a good summary for your personal statement in the conclusion part to leave a lasting impression on whoever is reading it.
3. Be Descriptive About YourAchievements, Interests, and Skills
Tell me which one would you instead hire if you were an employer? Someone who has the word writer written under the skill section of their personal statement or one that has written clearly what kind of writing they do and what their strong suits are. Probably the second one, right?
Try to explain your skills and achievements as clearly as possible. Go into details, and try to find out if you have any relevant experience or skills. Highlight them in an organised way. This will show people who are about to hire or admit you possess excellent organisational skills, which is always a plus.
4. Content should be simple
Simple language is better when communicating clearly, and you’d want to communicate clearly with your personal statement.
Let your achievement and skills shine, not your ability to write big words. Simple statements are accessible and more engaging to read. And you want the people who are reading your personal statement engaged.
5. Keep Rereading and Reediting YourPersonal Statement To Make It Perfect PersonalStatement review is an essential part of the entire process ofwriting the same. You can’t get a perfect draft on the first try; there mightbe grammatical errors or just sentences that do not sound natural. Proofreadingis the only way to avoid making mistakes in your created content. Whether it isyour personal statement or a dissertationproofreading is essential if you want an error-free draft.
Make sure to review your personal statement for grammatical and spelling errors, sentences and phrases that may sound unnatural, and other errors at least two to three times before submitting it. If you have someone to give you feedback, that is even better. Your personal statement needs to look professional, so make sure that it is nice and error-free.
WrappingUp
The first couple of times you try writing a personal statement, they might not be as impressive as you would like them to be. However, don’t give up and keep practising till you get that perfect draft.

Tennis is a hugely popular sport. Anyone can play tennis, from beginners to professionals. Tennis players can be divided into two broad categories based on their ability level to hit the ball more and higher than a backhand or forehand. Tennis players typically struggle to hit forehands due to inexperience with how to properly engage their muscles and what is the best way to hit powerful forehands. In the same way, tennis players struggle with backhands because they aren’t aware about how to position themselves to hit a perfect backhand on the court. So, these two crucial aspects of the game have to be addressed by those who want to be successful in the sport.
A successful tennis swing is dependent on the grip you use. Many new players make the mistake of holding their racket too tight or loosely and end up missing the ball, making poor contact or letting their racket slide when they swing at the ball. The right way to hold the racket in the right way will give you the best opportunity to hit the ball accurately every time.
The other important factor to remember is that your forehand swing path should be straight from the beginning and then curve towards the top of your body as you reach the top of your follow through. This is known as a cut shot or high arc. A hook with a low arc would have an inherent wrist hinge as well as wrist extension. These factors can affect the type of shots you must be learning. If you’re practicing the bank shot technique, your forehand swing course will naturally curve towards the top as it gets closer to the ball.
Be sure to keep your shoulders in line with the ball. This will ensure that your shoulders are always in contact with the ball and allow your arms to move freely. While you move your arms, your shoulders should not move away from the racquet’s socket. It could make it extremely difficult to catch the ball in the event that this occurs.
When you approach the ball, ensure that your arm is pointing from your side and not your backside. Rotating your arm on your side actually weakens the ability of your arm to generate power and produce a strong backswing. To allow your arm to rotate correctly, you must hold a firm grip on the club. Having a weak grip can be very dangerous because it can cause you to lose the ball or could cause you to overextend your arm. This could lead to injury.
Another key factor in the proper grip is the angle you stand at. The majority of tennis players are right-handed and have their right hand slung across the body. The left arm of newbies is often carried over their body. Most coaches suggest holding the club with a neutral grip or a style similar to a baseball position. The club should be held in a neutral posture will aid in preventing a non-dominant arm when you swing.
Forehand tennis players with open stances are more likely to have issues with their forearms. Open stance forehand players tend to have issues with their grip. This issue can be resolved by holding the racket in neutral grip. Tennis players with open stance forehand should attempt to use a closed grip. This can be achieved by placing the racket on your skull, keeping your knees bent, and keeping your elbows locked.
Tennis players who have a non-dominant handed should swing the racket over their head and over their shoulders. The racket should face your crotch in case you are a right handed player and the racket should be pointing towards your waist if you’re left handed. This will stop the over-the head swing and the under-the shoulder swing from occurring. Keep your wrists straight when you swing. Also, ensure you don’t allow any side of your body too much room.

Tennis is a hugely popular sport. Everyone can play tennis from beginners to professionals. There are two main categories of tennis players. They can be classified based on their ability to hit the ball farther than a backhand or forehand. Tennis players are often unable to hit forehands due the lack of knowledge on how to effectively engage their muscles in order to hit strong forehands. Tennis players also struggle with their backhands due to lack of understanding about how to position themselves in order to hit a strong backhand down the court. These two areas are essential to the game and need to be addressed.
The grip is the most crucial element of an effective tennis swing. Many beginners make the error of gripping the racket to tightly or too loosely and end up hitting the ball too far, making improper contact, or even having the racket fall off when they are swinging at the ball. The best way to hit the ball correctly is to hold the racket correctly in the right position.
Another thing to keep in mind is that your forehand swing path should be straight. As you get closer to the top end of your follow-through, your forehand’s swing path should be curved towards your top. This is referred to as a high arc or cut shot. A hook with a low angle will have an natural wrist hinge and wrist extension. These factors will influence the type of shots that you should be learning. For example, if you are practicing a technique known as the bank shot, your forehand swing path will naturally turn toward the top as you get closer to the ball.
Always keep your shoulders squared with the ball. This will keep your shoulders in constant contact with the ball as your arms move freely. Keep in mind that the shoulders must never be removed from the socket or racquet when you swing. This can make it extremely difficult to capture the ball if this happens.
When approaching the ball, make sure that your arm is directed from your side , not towards your backside. The arm that is rotated on your side actually weakens the ability of your arm to generate power and create a great backswing. You need a solid grip to control your arm’s rotation. Having a weak grip can be extremely dangerous as it could cause you to be unable to catch the ball, or it could cause you to extend your arm. This could lead to injury.
Another important aspect in the proper grip is the angle of your stance. Tennis beginners are typically right-handed and wear their right hand slung across the body. The left arm of beginner players is often slung across their body. Most coaches suggest using a neutral grip, or a style similar to a baseball grip. A neutral grip will stop you from swinging with an arm that is not dominant.
Tennis players who have open stance forehand tend to have issues with their forearms. When players with an open stance forehand, they tend to twist their wrists and do not have a proper grip. A great solution to this problem is to hold the racket using an even grip. Tennis players with open stance forehand should attempt to have a closed grip. This can be achieved by placing the racket in front of your skull, your knees bent, and your elbows locked.
Tennis players who have a non-dominant hand should move the racket in front of their head and above their shoulders. If you’re a right handed player the racket should be facing your crotch. If you’re a left-handed player, the racket should be pointing towards your waist. This will prevent the over-the head swing and the under-the-shoulder swing from occurring. When you swing keep your wrists straight and lower your hips, making sure you don’t give either side of your body a chance to swing.

Central American Deal Ignites a Trade Debate, NY Times
New York Times | April 6, 2004 | Share
April 6, 2004 By ELIZABETH BECKER
SAN SALVADOR - Marina del Carmen Leiva, a 32-year-old mother, struggles to keep her job earning $152 every month bent over sewing machines, making clothes for famous American brand-name companies.
The pressure to produce garments quickly is so great, she says, that she and her co-workers are regularly refused permission to visit the bathroom or get a drink of water for fear it would slow the line.
"If they would just treat us like human beings, even without raising the minimum wage, my life would be better," said Mrs. del Carmen Leiva, a slender, dark-eyed woman who is the sole supporter of her three children.
With the Bush administration asking Congress to approve the Central American Free Trade Agreement late this spring, the next big battle over the politically explosive issue of trade will revolve around people like Mrs. del Carmen Leiva and their labor rights.
For President Bush, the best help for workers like Mrs. del Carmen Leiva is his Central America agreement. Cafta, as the agreement is called, promises more trade with the United States and a new commitment that the five countries included - Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and Panama as well as El Salvador - will do a better job enforcing their national labor laws.
But Democrats say that is not enough. Cafta, they say, needs to include explicit guarantees of the internationally recognized labor rights to organize unions and to prohibit child labor and discrimination in employment. Then, they say, increased trade would lead to better protection for jobs abroad and at home, and the benefits of globalization would be spread more evenly.
Cafta would create a free trade zone between the United States and the five Central American nations, immediately dropping most duties for imports. It would also help prepare the textile industry in all the countries for stiff international competition next year, especially from China, when the global textile quota system is eliminated under an global trade agreement. The Central American nations opened their protected insurance, telecommunications and agricultural sectors to American competition, but the United States resisted requests to reduce its annual $19 billion in agriculture subsidies or allow more immigration.
In the last decade, as global and regional trade accords have expanded to include enforced protection of intellectual property rights and foreign investment, the idea of including workers' rights is gaining ground.
"It's ridiculous that trade laws provide better protection for the label of a garment than the worker who sews it on," said Sergio Chavez, director for the National Labor Committee, a nonprofit organization here lobbying for workers.
With lost jobs and closed factories a crucial issue this election year, Democrats hope to make workers' rights in trade one of their defining issues.
Senator John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, says he is opposed to Cafta because it fails to protect workers in Central America as well as American workers, "who are forced to compete hopelessly against companies that abide by no rules whatsoever."
To the Bush administration, that sounds like political showboating. Robert B. Zoellick, the United States trade representative, argues that Cafta, with its enforcement clauses to improve labor rights and fines for offenders, has the best labor provisions ever negotiated in a trade agreement. "No country is doing more than the United States to push for strong labor and environmental provisions in international trade agreements," Mr. Zoellick said. "While some other countries talk about labor and the environment in the context of trade, only the United States is actually doing something to integrate these topics as an active part of its trade agenda."
The Institute for International Economics, a centrist research group in Washington, recently published a policy brief on labor standards and Cafta, arguing that "globalization and workers rights are complementary" and that greater respect for the core international labor standards could help spread trade benefits more broadly.
As the debate plays out in the presidential campaign in the United States, the same political battle is under way in El Salvador.
In this tropical country of extreme wealth and poverty, the question of labor rights touches a raw nerve. Twelve years after a civil war was fought in part over questions of inequality, shanties with scrap metal roofs are crammed together on the capital's outskirts, while stucco mansions hidden behind well-guarded walls sit serenely along leafy avenues.
Business leaders here recoil at the complaint that Cafta fails workers and say that the labor provisions are generous and well balanced with the need to attract more foreign investment and create many more jobs. "In a word, Cafta will generate stability and security," said Rigoberto Monge, the senior official of the National Association of Private Enterprise in charge of trade agreements.
With a national budget of less than $3 billion, El Salvador survives on the $2 billion sent home every year in remittances from compatriots working in the United States. In such an economy, improving trade is considered critical. At the same time, the country has a miserable record of upholding its labor laws.
In her cramped bungalow, Mrs. del Carmen Leiva sounds like many other Salvadoran factory workers who have little faith in their government's labor policies.
"It makes me angry when they say we have good laws for workers' rights," she said. "In four years I won't have a job because factories don't want us after we turn 35 years of age and then what will I do?"
Every workday, in a scene worthy of a Diego Rivera mural, she is one of the thousands of mostly young women, and some men, who pile out of crammed buses and vans outside factories enclosed as an international free trade zone. The workers gulp down hot sweetened coffee and corn tortillas bought from street vendors and then rush through the single entry gate, past guards armed with rifles who check their identification cards, before disappearing inside one of the clothing factories.
In a country with a 42 percent unemployment rate, these workers are considered lucky to have a job, even if it does pay the lowest of the country's three minimum wages.
Luis Fernando Avelar Bermudez, El Salvador's vice minister of labor, said the labor argument should not undermine the chances for passage of Cafta either in the United States or El Salvador. The chance of open access to the world's biggest economy, he said, is too important for his country's future.
"People who are making criticisms about our labor conditions are mired in the past," Mr. Avelar Bermudez said. "Instead, we want to thank the United States for the opportunities they are giving us in Cafta."
Antonio Aguilar Martinez, El Salvador's deputy ombudsman for human rights, an independent government watchdog role, said that attitude was short-sighted. He said he believed that stronger labor clauses would improve the quality of the country's labor force, which includes more than 87,000 workers in maquila factories, which are owned by foreigners who are not required to pay most taxes. It would also attract more foreign investors, he said.
"This is quite a hostile environment for workers, where the business and government sectors see protecting workers' rights as going against the country's economic interests," he said. "Cafta protects the fundamental rights of businesses but not the labor rights of the citizens."
Recent reports confirm the checkered history of labor rights in the country. "Deliberate Indifference," by Human Rights Watch, a nonprofit advocacy group, says that employers in El Salvador fire or suspend trade union members and leaders without penalties and keeps unofficial black lists of workers considered troublemakers.
Those findings are reinforced by the State Department's human rights reports.
But the Nationalist Republican Alliance, the conservative political party known as Arena that continued its hold on the presidency in last month's election, disputes the notion that El Salvador is incapable of enforcing its labor laws that respect the international labor standards.
"The human face of free trade agreements are new jobs," said Carmen Elena Calderon de Escalon, a senior Arena deputy in the legislative assembly. "We have made the commitment to carry out our labor code and monitor to see it is followed through."
But the left and centrist parties have a plurality in the legislature and they say Cafta needs to contain explicit promises to enforce the international labor codes.
"It's not a simple question of will we or won't we ratify Cafta," said Hugo Martinez, a senior deputy of the Farabundo MartàNational Liberation Front, which was the rebel force that fought the government during the country's brutal civil war. "We want to give a big welcome to foreign investors who will make new jobs, but only if they are willing to respect basic labor standards."

Appeals rights at an IRS
Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing are important now that the IRS has reinstated their tax collection function. There was a long freeze in most IRS tax collection efforts due to the pandemic. The IRS did not want to unfairly burden the public during the economic contraction when many were struggling financially.
When the IRS issues a final notice of threat to levy, or has filed a Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL) or already issued a levy, the taxpayer will receive an IRS notice (Letter 11, Letter 1058 or CP 90) informing them of their right to a
Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing. It is important that taxpayers act promptly. There is a thirty day period to request the Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing with IRS Appeals. If you miss the deadline you can request an Equivalency Hearing (EH) up to a year after the notice was sent. There are various rights at a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing that are superior to an Equivalency Hearing (EH) so it is important to respond promptly. Some may opt for an Equivalency Hearing (EH) instead of a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing even when responding within the 30 day window.
What is important to note is that you can contest the issuance of the tax lien or tax levy at one of the hearings and present an alternative to full payment of an unpaid tax:
Installment Agreement: payment plan Offer in Compromise: settle tax for less than owed Currently Not Collectible: hardship status Innocent Spouse Relief: argue that you do not owe the tax and instead your spouse or former spouse is responsible.
Failure to enter into a collection alternative will lead to potential:
Tax Levies: bank accounts, wages, commissions, retirement accounts, social security income, etc. Tax Liens: applies to all current and future assets of the taxpayer. This includes real estate, vehicles and anything else of value.
Secure your
Collection Due Process (CDP) rights as soon as possible to stop collection enforcement during the Appeals process and also to ensure your right to judicial review if you disagree with the Appeals decison. This will ensure the best resolution of your tax issue.

Modafinil smart drugs are stimulants that work by selectively inhibiting dopamine reuptake in the brain, leading to increased concentrations of the neurotransmitters there. These effects, in turn, reduce sleepiness and increase alertness, making the drug a powerful option for performance enhancement.
As is often the case with performance-enhancing drugs, there are health risks of abuse, dependence, and addiction here, albeit in rare cases. On that note, this text provides information about the causes of abuse, the effects of dependence, and the symptoms of addiction with Provigil use.
What is Modafinil?
This is a eugeroic or wakefulness-promoting medication originally developed and manufactured in France in the 1970s. Is Provigil a stimulant? Yes, Provigil
drug class is stimulant, and Modafinil schedule is Schedule IV controlled substance according to information from the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). In many cases, it is referred to by its brand name – Provigil.
Identifying the drug is fairly easy. Modafinil itself is a white to the off-white, crystalline powder inside Provigil tablets.
Those Tablets Contain 100 mg or 200 mg of Modafinil as the Active Ingredient, and the Following as Inactive Ingredients: croscarmellose sodium lactose monohydrate magnesium stearate microcrystalline cellulose povidone pregelatinized starch
Initially indicated for use in treating narcolepsy, Modafinil tablets quickly gained prominence for their effects as wakefulness-promoting, sleepiness reducing drugs, proving useful in a broad spectrum of contexts such as helping sleep-deprived military personnel and factory workers. It remains effective for narcolepsy too.
Is Modafinil Legal?
Considering the fact that the Modafinil schedule is that of a controlled substance, the possibility of facing legal issues as a result of possession, purchase, or sale of Provigil is an important consideration to make. So, is Modafinil legal?
First off, Modafinil smart drug has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States for two decades, so it is safe to possess and be used – as long as you have a doctor’s prescription.
Further information from research shows that other countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, The Netherlands, Germany, Canada, and Mexico also allow the use and purchase of Provigil from licensed pharmacies based on a prescription for the treatment of narcolepsy and other relevant conditions.
However, without a prescription, the reverse is the case.
Schedule IV controlled substances are deemed to have a lower potential for abuse and misuse in comparison to Schedules I, II, and III, but they are still only allowed under specific guidelines.
The prescription must be obtained from a pharmacy licensed within the country, so this means that one can not legally purchase the medication for import and use from overseas.
To make sure that these laws are taken seriously, charges, fines, and other penalties are in place for anyone that breaks the legal guidelines for possession or use of Provigil.
What Causes Modafinil Addiction?
Information about Provigil shows that there is a low liability for abuse and dependence, but it does exist. This is a direct result of Provigil’s effects as sleepiness curbing performance enhancers, as these types of drugs typically alter the brain’s functions.
When these functions are altered for a sustained period of time, a level of dependence can occur that leads to abuse and then a full-blown substance abuse disorder.
Modafinil Abuse Potential
When a person takes the dose long-term, there is a tolerance build-up that may require using stronger doses to achieve the same effects. In other cases, the person may just hope to heighten the effects they currently have by increasing the dose, even without the build-up of Modafinil tolerance.
So, is Modafinil dangerous? One could argue that there is the potential for its effects to be. The drugs work by forcibly triggering the release of dopamine in the brain, and once this supply is cut off, it can be hard for things to go back to normal.
Thus, it may be said that the most dangerous aspect of Provigil use is the abuse potential resulting from dependence. When this happens, a person with a Modafinil addiction is unable to return to their normal cognitive capabilities after being on it for long. This makes the addiction dangerous.
The Signs and Symptoms of Provigil Abuse
There are specific signs to look out for when trying to figure out if a person is abusing or addicted to Provigil.
If treated as individual symptoms, each one by itself may not be enough to make the decision, but when one notices that there are several symptoms being exhibited, then there may be a need to pay
extra attention and seek medical help.
Provigil addiction is not a common phenomenon, but there are instances. Also, abuse is not restricted to taking large doses alone, it also applies where Provigil is used without a prescription and using it as a cognitive enhancer.
Physical Signs And Symptoms Of Provigil Abuse
These are the more noticeable indications of Provigil abuse. It is much harder to hide these because they can appear in obvious forms, especially if one knows what to look out for.
Physical Signs and Symptoms of Addiction and Abuse Here Include: Tremors Diarrhea Nausea Headaches Dizziness Rhinitis
Some of these are also associated with other conditions, so it might be beneficial to look at psychological signs too, before actively treating the situation as one of Provigil abuse.
Psychological Signs And Symptoms Of Provigil Abuse
These may typically require extra attention to be noticed. They are also more easily noticed by people that were close to the individual beforehand, as they can tell more easily which behaviors are out of character.
Psychological Signs and Symptoms of Addiction and Abuse Here Include: Heightened excitation and agitation Insomnia Irritability Anxiety Confusion Aggressiveness Heart palpitations Nervousness Sleep disturbances
Other signs may include visiting multiple physicians to obtain multiple prescriptions or transferring Provigil from the person it was appropriately prescribed for to someone else without a prescription.
Persons with a Provigil addiction will also often exhibit
mood swings and character changes, indicative of their states when Provigil is used vs another medication. Provigil Addiction Statistics and Facts
Stimulants are generally subject to the potential for abuse, and Provigil here is not different.
There is less information on Modafinil addiction statistics and the impact of the drug on overall dependence levels compared with other commonly abused stimulants (e.g cocaine). However, there remains a need to be aware of the health risks involved with using Provigil.
Provigil Addiction Facts
Provigil is a psychoactive drug that crosses the blood-brain barrier, affecting brain neurons directly. When this happens in a sustained manner, the neural pathways in the brain become altered. This can
lead to tolerance and the development of cravings.
To back up this fact, studies have been carried out to stress the importance of heightened awareness about the abuse and dependence potential of the drug. One such study confirmed that the drug acutely increased
dopamine levels and blocked dopamine transporters in the human brain.
For this reason, the scarcity of data on Provigil addiction statistics is not enough to negate the fact the drug can be a ticking time bomb when usage is not properly monitored and managed.
Addiction may not manifest physically with attendant physical signs, but psychological dependence does kick in, especially when they realize life is not the same without it.
Social Trends
Modafinil abuse disorder is a social pandemic waiting to blow up. Considered a smart drug, Provigil addiction, especially among young people that work in high-stress environments that often call for less sleep, is on the rise.
Considered to give an edge over the competition, Provigil has become a cultural icon of getting ahead. The challenge with this narrative is that persons who are taking it run the health risk of finding it hard to cope after they stop the dose.
They can no longer avoid sleep and stay up late as they used to, and they cannot perform at elevated levels of cognitive awareness as they could on Modafinil. This not only
leads to dependence but also creates a mediocre quality of life for the person taking it.
Getting off a Provigil addiction early and rebalancing one’s life can help prevent more serious issues such as depression and suicidal ideation.
What is Modafinil Withdrawal?
Addiction can be dangerous both physically and psychologically, so it is vital to get treatment and detox as soon as possible. Despite this, Modafinil withdrawal itself isn’t without its dangers.
The Provigil detox process may be an arduous one, due to the severe Provigil withdrawal symptoms one may go through. Withdrawal will be a difficult time, bringing both physical and psychological effects of its own which can plague the individual with pains and mental challenges that are difficult to overcome alone.
This is why it is so important to get the most suitable recovery plan for the user, where one may get support.
Provigil Withdrawal Symptoms
These withdrawal symptoms can be both physical and psychological.
They Include: Lack of concentration Mood lows Shortness of breath Extreme Fatigue Depression Anxiety Lethargy Sleepiness Anhedonia Dysphoria Insomnia A rise in body temperature Paranoia Nausea Restlessness
Withdrawal is difficult to deal with, and even worse when one tries to go through it alone. It is important to consult with a medical professional to help manage these symptoms before they become severe, as well as tell loved ones about it to receive moral and emotional support.
Modafinil Detox Treatment
Starting treatment as soon as possible is vital in any recovery. Modafinil withdrawal recovery is no different. There are some treatment programs ready to treat you most suitably and effectively, from inpatient to outpatient options, as well as counseling and psychotherapy.
Treatment for Provigil withdrawal, whether it is completed as an inpatient or as an outpatient, will help you to stay clean and find effective ways of dealing with cravings and side effects. Whether you benefit from supervision or freedom, there is an ideal program to efficiently detox and overcome the substance abuse disorder.
Once detox is completed, it is essential to stay on track with your recovery. For many addicts, cravings will continue to a lesser degree and therefore still be an issue. This is why it is important to have techniques for dealing with cravings, as well as still attending therapy sessions.
These sessions and techniques will help an individual to stay on track after their detox is complete, giving them a chance of staying sober. It is vital that one keeps attending these sessions. The life after addiction will continue to improve, and the user will feel the health benefits, especially neurologically.
Duration of Modafinil Detoxification
Detox is a tough process so many people like to know, how long does withdrawal last?
Modafinil withdrawal time does vary slightly from person to person. However, there is a reasonable range to help gauge how long a user will have to suffer withdrawal effects.
Most Provigil withdrawal symptoms will show themselves
within the first week of withdrawal, with most users being extremely fatigued during that period. Other users will merely return to their old symptoms of narcolepsy.
The main issue with withdrawal is that many of the symptoms are blurred in with a user’s reaction to no longer functioning with cognitive enhancement. This means it is difficult to understand where they end.
Despite this, it is believed that symptoms will begin to weaken after the first week and physical indications will continue no longer than
four weeks. On the other hand, psychological indications may last a long time, especially if the user doesn’t receive any counseling or psychotherapy.
Withdrawal is often easier if the user decides to taper off from their usage. This means they gradually reduce their dosage to lessen the withdrawal symptoms.
This is also a much safer way of withdrawing than going cold turkey, despite it taking a long time.
Treatment and Recovery for Modafinil Abuse
Addiction treatment is recommended for persons taking it beyond its prescribed dose limits and uses. For a person taking a dose of over 1200 mg of this medication, some side effects of Provigil can point towards substance abuse and a need for professional medical help.
These include a
skin rash, blisters, hives, swelling, mouth sores and fever, shortness of breath, dark urine, among others. Some of them can eventually lead to Provigil-induced weight loss.
Other less commonly-reported but more serious symptoms in post-marketing surveillance include
Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS).
If a person with a Modafinil addiction experiences any of these symptoms, they should consider seeking treatment for substance abuse disorder.
Treatment Options May Include One or a Combination of the Following Methods: Counseling:As most Modafinil abuse disorders are psychological and behavioral, individual or group counseling can help realign the person for recovery Inpatient or residential:These provide an oasis of options and hope for the person by taking them out of the stressful environment that may have brought on the addiction Outpatient programs:Intensive outpatient programs provide an option that allows the person to live at home but maintain regular sessions at a health or rehab facility Medication:As this addiction rewires the brain, the drug is used to help prevent withdrawal effects and return the brain to its previous state 12-step programs:Highly useful in managing other addictions like alcohol and cocaine, this program offers a community-based treatment option. Peer and recovery support:This involves working with other recovering peers who can help provide support in attending addiction rehabilitation clinics, restructuring one’s life, and altering dangerous drug habit-fostering habits Provigil Hidden Dangers
Modafinil smart drug and other similar medications of Modafinil drug class are Pandora’s box of performance-enhancers. With so much hype surrounding Provigil, there is little talk about its hidden dangers.
By altering the reward pathways of the brain, Modafinil tolerance is created, eventually leading to dependence and abuse.
Persons with a Provigil addiction expose themselves to not only substance abuse but also a heightened detachment and alienation from reality which is more painful during Modafinil withdrawal.
As they crash back to reality every time the high wears off, the person may end up feeling as though life without Modafinil is unbearable. For such a person, treatment is the only option to prevent these thoughts from escalating into harmful actions.
Additionally, the psychoactive and euphoric effects of Modafinil can affect a person’s moods, perceptions, thoughts, and emotions in such a way that the absence of the drug brings negative iterations of these feelings.
Long-term use of Provigil is even riskier because it can cause significant disruption to regular sleep patterns. There is the tendency for things to get to the point where one feels neither sleepiness nor wakefulness, which is unhealthy for the body.
Summarily, there are many use cases where Modafinil can be beneficial for use – especially short-term. However, just like other stimulants with similar functions, there are health risks associated with using the drug, and these health risks are enhanced when the drug is not used according to prescription.
It is important to have a conversation with a qualified doctor about safety issues associated with using Modafinil – especially when dosing on other types of supplements or medications. This will enable the doctor to offer advice and avoid potentially dangerous situations using Provigil.
If you or a loved one are struggling with dependence on Modafinil or other stimulants, reach out to a medical professional close to you for advice on rehabilitation and necessary steps t0 take moving forward. The earlier, the better.

The authors said the findings suggest that the CDC's mask guidance should be expanded to include the entire country, even outside of hot spots.
The findings have the potential to upend past thinking about how the disease is spread. Previously, vaccinated people who got infected were thought to have low levels of virus and to be unlikely to pass it to others. But the new data shows that is not the case with the Delta variant.
Travis Dagenais, who was among the many vaccinated people infected, said "throwing caution to the wind" and partying in crowds for long nights over the July Fourth holiday was a mistake in hindsight.
"The dominant public messaging has been that the vaccine means a return to normal," the 35-year-old Boston resident said. "Unfortunately, I've now learned it's a few steps toward normal, not the zero-to-sixty that we seem to have undertaken."
Dagenais credits being vaccinated with easing the worst of the flu-like symptoms in a couple of days. He has recovered.
Like many states, Massachusetts lifted all COVID-19 restrictions in late May, ahead of the traditional Memorial Day start of the summer season. Provincetown this week reinstated an indoor mask requirement for everyone.
Leaked internal documents on breakthrough infections and the Delta variant suggest the CDC may be considering other changes in advice on how the nation fights the coronavirus, such as recommending masks for everyone and requiring vaccines for doctors and other health workers.
The Delta variant, first detected in India, causes infections that are more contagious than the common cold, flu, smallpox and the Ebola virus, and it is as infectious as chickenpox, according to the documents, which mentioned the Provincetown cases.
The White House on Friday defended its approach to rising virus cases and shifting public health guidelines, repeatedly deferred to the CDC while stressing the need for vaccinations.
Although experts generally agreed with the CDC's revised indoor masking stance, some said the report on the Provincetown outbreak does not prove that vaccinated people are a significant source of new infections.
"There's scientific plausibility for the (CDC) recommendation. But it's not derived from this study," said Jennifer Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins University public health researcher.
The CDC report is based on about 470 COVID-19 cases linked to the Provincetown festivities, which included densely packed indoor and outdoor holiday events at bars, restaurants, guest houses and rental homes.
Researchers ran tests on a portion of them and found roughly the same level of virus in those who were fully vaccinated and those who were not.
Three-quarters of the infections were in fully vaccinated individuals. Among those fully vaccinated, about 80 per cent experienced symptoms with the most common being cough, headache, sore throat, muscle aches and fever.
In the report, the measure researchers used to assess how much virus an infected person is carrying does not indicate whether they are actually transmitting the virus to other people, said Dr Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan.

90018 Heating and Cooling Service Maintaining Your AC Before Summer
These days, it's almost unbearable to live in 90018 without working air conditioning. Temperatures are creeping up into the triple digits during more and more months. Because of this, we recommend that you perform a bit of preventative maintenance before it starts getting extra hot. A quick maintenance call in early June can save you a lot of time and money in September.
During a maintenance check, our technicians will run a comprehensive series of diagnostic checks to spot any issues before they occur. We'll give your condenser coils a thorough clean, top off your refrigerant, and thoroughly check for leaks, clogs, and other issues. Small issues with any part of your HVAC system can cause your air conditioner to be less efficient, in turn causing it to work harder, use more energy, and put more pressure on the compromised system. This often snowballs into an issue that's expensive and time-consuming to fix. Not only will a simple maintenance call ensure that you stay comfortable during the hot 90018 summer and fall seasons, but it'll also have the potential to save you a colossal amount of time and money.
Whether you'd like a tech to come out for a maintenance check, your system has an issue you need someone to check out, or you'd like to install or replace your HVAC solution, give us a call. We're committed to making our customers' lives easier every way we can.

What our happy clients say
My AC just stopped working and I called HVAC Pros and they were able to show up in time. They inspected the system and discovered that it needed to be serviced. After some time doing that my ac was working properly again, no fuss no muss. I was thinking it will be a big issue because I normally don’t have service issues. I spent lesser than I planned for and I am so happy they were honest and forthcoming with me. It was a fantastic experience for me and worthy of note.
Joseph T.
It's about time I got some worth for my money. Most contractors this period are just trying to take advantage of you. thankfully for me, I always call more than one service company to compare things before I hire anyone. The first two companies were obviously trying to make a dishonest profit. HVAC Pros quote and diagnosis were more transparent and realistic. We had them clean out the furnace and also repair the heating system. They did a fantastic job as well at a fair price and I regret nothing. I will definitely utilize their services again when necessary. Highly recommended.
Eva S.
Found HVAC Pros and I hired them to fix my AC and heating units. They quickly sent out a technician to assess the situation. After the inspection, he said my capacitor needed to be replaced. We got that done and now it’s working perfectly. They also serviced my heating units which afterward showed significant improvement. Michael was great and very friendly. It was productive working with HVAC Pros.

90049 HVAC Companies Service Let’s get your AC fixed
When an air conditioning system starts to deteriorate, it has to work harder to cool your home. The harder it works, the more energy it uses, increasing your electricity bills. Older systems tend to be a lot less efficient than the newer models you can find today. Upgrading your air conditioning unit can save you tons of money on your energy bills.
We don't expect you to know if you require a new HVAC system or just a repair. A lesser company could use this to their advantage, but you can rely on us for the truth. We will be honest if a less expensive repair will suffice for your old system over buying a new one. If you do choose to buy a new unit, we will provide you with all the information you need to find the right model for you.
Getting a new air conditioning system is best done by a fully qualified professional. The installation must be completed following local and state building codes. It also has to follow the manufacturer's specifications, all to protect your warranty. The job demands a licensed and trained professional, such as the ones we provide.
Once a new air conditioning system has been installed, you can expect it to last for years. However, we recommend you take our yearly maintenance services so that we can ensure everything works perfectly. This will allow us to prolong the life of the unit, keeping your home cooling for longer.

How Gambling Has Changed in the 21st Century
Gambling as we know it today is among the oldest ways of gambling as well as perhaps one of the most popular. It’s been around for thousands of years, dating back to enough time of the ancient greek language and Roman civilizations. Gambling may be the risky wagering on a meeting with the aim of winning some other thing of equal value with the same risk. Gambling therefore requires three ingredients 더킹 카지노 사이트 to be present: risk, consideration, and an incentive.
Ancient societies placed lots of importance on gaming since they were nomadic cultures and depended a whole lot on their survival in the open. The thought of gambling was to use the wild to their advantage and gain something for themselves along the way. This way they were in a position to hunt down and kill prey, collect food and so forth. As this was seen as a significant factor in the operation of the society, laws regulating gambling spread across the various societies of the ancient world also it was even made a legal act in some places as well. The early 20th century saw a whole new gamblers’ movement develop as a result of new gambling venues checking in different cities and this led to the evolution of lotteries which gained wide popularity.
The reason why gambling has been associated with a lot of negative connotations in the past is that the games played were very cruel and dangerous to the players. People considered it acceptable if a player was to lose all his money; however there will always be those who benefit from this attitude and gamble every now and then without thinking about the consequences of such actions. Most countries have their very own laws against gambling however the problem is that the majority of people gamble without these laws being enforced. Because of this they are breaking the law and result in jail where they may even spend the rest of their lives in prison if they are caught.
One of the most common gambling activities that people indulge in is card games like baccarat and roulette. There isn’t much difference between playing baccarat or roulette and gambling with your money except for having less a wheel. If you need to bet on horses in a race, you then need to have a wheel while betting on black croupiers in a card game isn’t gambling as such but an activity. So these are the primary differences between gambling and card games.
Now as far as gambling is concerned, the huge difference is in the type of bets which are made. Gambling in a casino requires one to wager real cash whereas betting in a bar or pub is pretty much an excuse to drink and make loads of bets. However, in the casinos the bets are put in chips, which are known as ‘bets’. The bets made listed below are much higher than the bets in a card room because the house edge for the latter is much higher.
Another main article that I would like to write about may be the gaming law. This is perhaps the last major difference between gambling and card rooms. As it is quite difficult to enforce a gambling law as it is difficult to prove that gambling has any effect on the outcome of events. For instance, you cannot say that the presence of slot machines results in a person losing his/her share of the bank roll even though you have proof that the slot machine game was ‘fixing’ a bad luck number. It can be argued that the machines themselves aren’t the cause of the misfortune however the way the machines are operated i.e.
In the main article I have centered on what we generally consider to be gambling, that is where I concluded that the united kingdom has got many things right. The United States has many things wrong when it comes to this is of what gambling is and I really believe that this is a shame that our legal system still uses these obsolete and insulting words. I also believe many of the arguments that we hear for and against gambling boil down to personal ethics instead of any solid laws. However, the united kingdom system has some pretty self-explanatory laws on gambling so when long as they are respected by all then the UK is a fine spot to reside in.
The ultimate topic I would like to go over is what we call problem gambling. Problem gambling is basically gambling for money that you don’t want to spend. For example, if you are visiting New York and decide to gamble some money at a card table then that is called gambling. However, if you go out and gamble even more money at an Internet casino and get caught then that is considered to be problematic gambling. There are various types of gambling and you should ensure that you get the correct term for the type of gambling that you are looking to get associated with.

The Benefits of Vaping Juice The Benefits of Vaping Juice
Vaporizing juice isn’t as difficult since it sounds. The vaporizer simply gets hotter the e-juice to approximately 200 degrees Fahrenheit, turns it to liquid, and inhales through a vaporizer. The vaporizer ingredients generally consist of the following key ingredients: food grade nicotine, propylene glycol or vegetable oil, water, and flavorings. Some papers add a pinch of salt and/or onion powder to their juices to enhance its taste. This article will explain how exactly to vaporize juice using different methods.
Cold vaporizing is probably the most popular methods of vaporizing juice. With this method, the juice is placed in a ice cube tray and is permitted to sit while it colds. When the ice have frozen solidify, they could be removed from the refrigerator and put into a mesh pouch. The pouch is then placed in the freezer for about four hours, at which time it is ready to use.
Hot vaporizing is once the cigarettes are used to heat up liquids that not contain nicotine, such as fruit juices. To achieve this result, e cigarettes are connected to an electric appliance that is made to heat up the liquid. The liquid is placed inside the appliance, and the vapor emitted by the applying can be used to heat the liquids, resulting in a delicious dessert. The flavor added to these dessert flavors is usually provided by fruit juices, with an focus on melon, Mandarin, or lemon flavors.
Just about the most popular ways of vaporizing juice is by using atomizers, known as “atomisers”. The advantage to the user may be the ability to efficiently breathe in the vapor made by the electronic cigarettes. Since there is no dependence on nicotine to be present, the user does not become addicted to nicotine. Instead of being a temporary dependence on the substance, as is the case with smoking, this is a long-term reliance on the chemical. While some vapers prefer to only drink their juice, others prefer to smoke it also, especially after they have finished the juice.
Some parents are worried about the effects of e cigarette smoking on the children, particularly teenagers. But, the scientific evidence indicates that nicotine can be an addictive drug. In fact, recent studies show that adolescent brains contain nicotine already. Therefore, whenever a person uses Puff Bar Flavors an electric cigarette to obtain a high, the nicotine reaches the brain faster than should they smoked a normal cigarette.
So as to keep up with the nicotine level in the bloodstream, a user must maintain their nicotine strength. An average 14 mg nicotine strength is a wonderful starting point when a person is just getting started. Many of smokers start off with low nicotine strengths and gradually raise the strength as their tastebuds develop plus they find they like a stronger nicotine level in their vapor.
E cigarette users who also smoke cigarettes can reap the benefits of vaporizing their tobacco products as well. By increasing the nicotine concentration within their juice, they can continue to smoke less while enjoying an increased nicotine strength. This enables them to still have a mild withdrawal experience if they try to give up smoking. However, this is better needing to smoke another cigarette, since they can easily stop once they reach the point of no return.
Most tobacco users are not aware of the benefits of the cigarettes. It’s been shown that smoking fewer cigarettes are best for your wellbeing. Also, by substituting one addiction (tobacco) with another (juices), smokers can significantly reduce their risk of developing other addictions, such as alcohol and drugs. Furthermore, quitting smoking can improve a person’s quality of life and even help them live longer.

Why Are Large Corporations Turning to Coworking Spaces?
Contrary to popular belief, coworking spaces are not limited to remote workers and start-up companies. In recent years, large corporations such as Microsoft and Bank of America have set their sights on using coworking spaces for their companies. Many large corporations have even constructed stand-alone coworking spaces designated for their company.
The Appeal of Coworking Spaces to Corporations
A wide range of benefits come with using a coworking space, and large corporations don’t want to miss out on these advantages. Coworking spaces are an attractive working environment for large corporations looking to incorporate efficiency and convenience into their employee’s work lives. After the vaccine had become more widespread, coworking spaces have seen an increase in the demand for their facilities. Large corporations have played a significant role in this demand.
Lately, professionals of all sorts have been flocking to coworking spaces to escape working from home. As we reenter the in-person workforce as vaccines become more widespread, large corporations and companies have set their sights on coworking spaces as a flexible and convenient way for workers to return to in-person workspaces.
Reasons Why Corporations Are Turning to Coworking Spaces
There are many reasons why a large corporation may turn to coworking spaces to improve its workspace. The advantages of a coworking space make it an ideal working environment for companies to use. Professionals working in coworking spaces have access to a wide variety of amenities and services within a prestigious office environment without committing to a long-term lease.
Here are three reasons why large corporations are turning to coworking spaces: Cost-Effective
Coworking spaces are significantly less expensive than traditional offices with long-term leases. Also, if a company has a lease longer than one year, this increases its liability costs. When working with a coworking space, a large corporation can save money by avoiding leases that require long-term commitments. Using a coworking space has proven to be the most cost-effective method for large corporations seeking to house their company, helping companies save 20-40% on funds directed towards office space.
Convenient for Employees
Using coworking spaces adds convenience for employees who live closer to these locations compared to the company’s traditional office space. Since there are coworking spaces all over the country, a worker could access, workers no longer need to endure inconvenient relocations to obtain a job position. If a talented employee decides to relocate, the company won’t risk losing them if they allow their employees to work in coworking spaces near their homes.
Flexibility
With the uncertainty of the future due to the COVID-19 pandemic, large corporations are desiring workspaces that provide them flexibility in these uncertain times. The flexibility offered by coworking spaces gives companies some wiggle room when faced with unexpected lockdowns.
As the delta variant cases rise, large corporations realize that traditional long-term office leases may not be the most efficient method for housing the company. Being locked into a long-term lease in the event of another stay-at-home order can be costly for corporations. A coworking space can provide flexibility in these situations, which is why more and more large corporations are turning to coworking spaces.
Encourages Collaboration
Since coworking spaces typically host various professionals and companies, it becomes easier for professionals to collaborate. This facilitates innovation and creates an inspiring environment for workers. Working within proximity of other businesses in a coworking space allows professionals to easily connect with people outside of their company.
The common areas of coworking spaces are excellent places for professionals to connect. Rather than being confined to an office exclusively with their coworkers, a person has a chance to be socially stimulated, which can increase productivity and inspiration.
Final Thoughts
Large corporations are turning to coworking spaces because they are cost-effective and provide flexibility around leasing terms. Companies choosing to utilize coworking spaces allow employees to take advantage of the many advantages a coworking space offers. Coworking spaces inspire productivity and give professionals a space where they can connect and collaborate with other professionals.
Many coworking spaces have seen a significant increase of large corporations choosing to decentralize their office space by using coworking spaces. The convenience and flexibility that coworking spaces provide are ideal in the post-pandemic world. With an unpredictable future due to recent outbreaks of the delta variant, large corporations may continue to turn to coworking spaces.

Your marketing content is a very visible reflection of your business, and is literally the first thing that many potential customers see when they come across your company online. If you want to demonstrate to prospects that you provide quality products and services, you need to make certain that your content conveys that sense of quality.
Producing high-quality content takes time and resources. However, there are several relatively easy things you can do to improve any piece of content and make it more attractive, interesting and useful. Below are eight such ways to quickly boost the quality of your marketing content.
Use data.When at all possible, have real numbers to back up your claims. It's true that the specifics are often not truly necessary, but that doesn't mean they're not interesting.Stating that "61 percent of respondents" replied a certain way is not fundamentally different from saying "the majority," but it does add credibility and show that you know exactly what you are talking about. It's even better if the data comes from your own original research, and therefore provides information that cannot be found anywhere else. Be factual.In other words, make sure your information is correct. There's a lot of questionable information on the Internet, so check multiple sources (or at least one highly respectable source) before making any claims. Being factual also means being current, as numbers and statistics can change over time. Use clear terminology.Partly, this means knowing your audience. However, your potential Internet audience could be anyone. Generally, it's best not to use obscure industry jargon. Tell a story.Illustrate your main point with a clear example, whether it be from real life or simply a hypothetical situation. People like to hear stories (see also the entire entertainment industry). Quote somebody.Preferably an expert on the topic at hand. A relevant quote implies that you are connected, that you have done your research and that other people support the idea you are presenting. Incorporate visuals.It could be a simple photo or a detailed infographic. Visuals help get your point across while making the content more interesting to look at. Make it easier to read.This means formatting the text in a clear, attractive way. Images are not the only visuals in your marketing content; the text itself is a visual element, and is particularly important in that first glance when people are deciding whether to read it or not. Break the text into sections, or use lists (such as this one) to make the content easy to scan and make it easier to go back and find the most salient points. Use two sets of eyes.Have at least one other person look over and proofread each piece. It is easy for an author's eyes to read what they meantto say when editing a piece, and therefore not notice fairly obvious mistakes. Web content in general is typically notwell-edited, so setting a higher quality standard for yourself will make your content stand out as professional and reliable.
Along with having a killer content strategy, utilizing these tips to improve your content's quality will help you get the most out of your marketing efforts.

Calendar: What determines mortgage rates the week of September 20 to 24, 2021
Mortgage rates go up and down for a variety of reasons. Market sentiment, the latest headlines and a list of economic indicators all play a role.
The must-see economic news this week arrives Wednesday, when the Federal Reserve’s Open Markets Committee wraps up its September meeting. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is expected to address reporters.
In recent months, the Fed has discussed a “taper” in its pandemic-inspired economic stimulus measures if the economic recovery continues to gain momentum. The Fed bought $ 120 billion worth of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities each month, but a decrease would mean a slowdown in the pace of those purchases. All of these bond purchases have helped keep mortgage rates low.
Another variable is inflation. While inflation had exceeded 5% in recent months, price increases appeared to be easing in the latest official report. “Reading inflation lower than expected allows the Fed to postpone any cutback decision beyond the September 22 meeting and take the time to assess the impact of the Delta variant on the economic recovery.” said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate.
The Fed doesn’t directly control mortgage rates, and calculating how much you pay on a home loan is complicated. But here’s a simple rule of thumb: The 30-year fixed rate mortgage closely tracks the yield of the 10-year Treasury. When that rate rises, so does the popular 30-year fixed rate mortgage.
Fixed rate mortgage rates are influenced by other factors, such as supply and demand. When mortgage lenders have too much business, they raise rates to decrease demand. When business is light, they tend to cut rates to attract more customers.
The rates are ultimately set by the investors who buy your loan. Most US mortgages are packaged in the form of securities and resold to investors. Your lender offers you an interest rate that secondary market investors are willing to pay.

Hello World! Hope life has been treating you well.
The majority of interns at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories work in science, rather than engineering. This makes sense, since LLNL is a scientific research facility at its core. Many of the science students are conducting experiments for their projects, and experiments generally lead to people publishing the results in a paper, or some other medium. In the case of LLNL, that medium is posters, and there is a poster symposium for all the interns every August. It turns out, the engineering students are encouraged to do this too!
This is surprising, but I’m actually pretty happy about it. It’s cool to get a chance to describe exactly how an engineering process went, and it’s good to practice presenting. There’s also a chance to win an award for your programming, and that’s always fun.
I went to a seminar about some new proton science they’ve discovered, which was pretty interesting. Basically if you shoot a single proton into an object, it’ll make a super big deep hole. Sometimes if you want to smooth something out on the molecular level, it’s useful to have a big clump of protons all mushed together because if you shoot the clump at the material, it’ll just knock off the top few atoms and not make a big hole. But that’s super hard to do, because protons are all super positive and don’t want to be near each other. So they figured out a way to make them act like they are near each other, even if they aren’t. Also, there were huge nitrogen tanks near the lecture room. I have no idea why.
I also went to a seminar on what NIF was doing to produce nuclear fusion, machines that used atomic clocks to detect mass, and software that the US military uses for battle tactics.CODE WARNING!! If you don’t like code, stop reading!!
So the code that I’m updating is not exactly the most wonderfully written code. Yes, it’s better than anything I could ever write, but I’m 19 years old so that’s a fairly low bar. I recently realized that this is because before it became Java code, this codebase began its life as Ada. Ada is a language developed by the United States Department of Defense, designed to be better than C++ for writing weapons code. It’s quite a bit different than Java. So that’s why there are currently five empty functions that return null, which cause huge errors when deleted, and a comment at the end of a class informing everybody who might be curious that it is the //end of class
Also, instead of using git, like any sensible programming company, or even subversion, like a slightly inferior programming company, we use accurev. Why? I have NO IDEA! It’s terrible. I’m hoping that I’ll have some revelation like I did with Structured Text and discover why it’s necessary, but that hasn’t happened yet. Why can’t we use git?
I’ve also learned that when a function or a class is no longer needed, it typically isn’t deleted. This is because you’d have to test it, which takes time. BUT WAIT! I hear you say — if you’re deleting stuff, you’re just going to have to run the integration tests, and it’s highly unlikely that they’ll need to be altered significantly, if the code really does need to be deleted. Isn’t that okay? Apparently not! They really just don’t like us changing stuff in our code. I don’t understand it, but that’s how it is. So there are whole files of dead code, just lying around! It’s a mess.Okay now you can keep reading
NIF may not be Google, but it does a pretty good job keeping its employees happy. This week we had a breakfast for all the computation interns at NIF, and their mentors, to talk about what we were working on this summer and where we fit into the whole lab structure. One mentor was a bit surprised when an intern reported that they were working with a 2 million line codebase, seeing as he remembered it being six million! Apparently upgrading to Java 11 was very beneficial for the length of the code. Then we had an outdoor lunch for everybody who worked at NIF, with pretty good food for such a huge event! Then there was a BBQ for all the interns, complete with a cover band! There was also a lab-wide ice cream party, and an intern ping-pong event which happens every Friday, but those are smaller. I also heard that there are nap rooms near the NIF building, which I’m going to have to check out at some point. So if you’re an LLNL administrator and aren’t sure if you want me to keep writing about the inner workings of NIF, just look at all the positive press I’m giving you!
It’s been ten years since NIF became operational! So we had a talk about what NIF was working on. The speaker was a former astronaut, and was the only engineer on the ISS at one point! Apparently there are more military applications to what I’m working on than I was previously aware of. I talked with some of the programmers, one who reassured me by saying that I may be a cog in a machine of death, but I’m just an intern so I’m a very small cog. Surprisingly reassuring!
My paycheck was accidentally mailed to Davis, and I didn’t know when I was going to get it, so for the first time in my life I was actually extremely hungry for a few days! It’s all worked out now, but it was an interesting experience and I think I learned a lot from it. But my god do I appreciate having a full stomach right now!
Also, I’m just going to take some time to appreciate how beautiful Livermore is. Look at these windmills!
May you be ever victorious in your future endeavors!

A litigation lawyer who is waiting by the phone for your call and tells you exactly what you are hoping to hear may be too famished or too inexperienced to govern your case. He may be in exceeding his head and will bail out as soon as your battle takes a negative turn. By then, your true issue may have worsened. It will be more costly and perhaps impossible to fix it.
Good litigation lawyers are often in court, at mediation or additional litigation procedures, at meetings or discovery. However, fine litigation lawyers always call or reply by email within 24 hours. In stroke of urgency or vacation, the lawyer will arrange for someone in the office to contact you.Legal problems are considering computer crashes — they are bound to occur, it’s just a event of time. Unlike computer crashes, some lawsuits can be avoided. Often, businesses owners agreement taking into consideration legal matters deserted later a crisis arises.
They look for the least costly lawyer to draft their leases, contracts, corporate and employment agreements without regard to skill, satisfactoriness and experience.Sometimes, concern owners avoid true steps past failing to make a shareholder agreement, failing to file a trademark application or failing to prepare a non-competition and non-solicitation succession subsequently a key employee. with served considering a lawsuit, they ignore or tear the papers occurring in anger. These thing owners will be caught short subsequent to the inevitable occurs.
While litigation or mediation may nevertheless occur past there are written agreements in place, you will be in a far-off more safe face if you have taken precautionary steps in the past the difference of opinion occurs. If you reply to correspondence and legal papers promptly, you will be better protected than if you ignore them.Competent legal advice is comprehensible for matters such as corporate organization, leases, the wording contracts and additional documents you use in your business, partnership and shareholder agreements, your associations later your employees, your company’s trade names, logos and website, your regulatory compliance, your risk meting out and litigation prevention techniques.

We scheme to write very nearly this topic in a future article in this newsletter. Preventative authentic advice may be costly but it is just as important as flare insurance.
If you haven’t been operating in litigation before, you may not appreciate that more than 90% of cases correspond past trial. though a dealings (or even an appeal) is not always avoidable, lawyers use techniques to try to resolve cases at earlier stages. situation people are looking for authenticity and to limit expense and exposure.
Mediation is out of the ordinary technique lawyers use to achieve harmony before trial. arbitration involves a asexual mediator, who is usually an experienced lawyer, satisfactory to every parties. The parties and the lawyers prepare briefs to tell their positions to the mediator. upon the mediation date, after an creation session, the parties retire to remove rooms. The mediator will “shuttle” between the parties until an taking over is worked out or an impasse is declared. This process produces a tall rate of concurrence even in definitely complicated cases.
Even if you have an airtight case, your lawyer will nevertheless suggest settlement. Lawyers assess risk every day. Even the most airtight lawsuit could have problems at trial. The deem may choose the evidence of the opposing party beyond yours. The supplementary party’s skilled witness may be more persuasive than yours. These are just two of many possibilities. A dealings is always a last resort.The genuine costs awarded by the court to a well-to-do party are isolated a partial recovery of the legitimate costs payable to your lawyer.
If you lose at measures or if the opposing party does enlarged in court than their pact offer, you will have to pay a allocation of their genuine costs. Until a unmovable judgment is granted, a defendant is rarely prevented from dealing later than his property – unless the property is the subject of the lawsuit.The judgment may be unenforceable. The opposing party may be insolvent or go bankrupt. You might not combined anything. The defendant may hide his assets or transfer them to relations members to make the debt hard to collect.
A surgically remove conflict may be essential to locate the defendant’s assets or to regard as being the fraudulent transfer void.The defendant may have assets external Ontario. A lawyer in the jurisdiction where defendant’s assets are located may have to be retained to whole the judgment.A pact involves a unconditional both parties can breathing with. If the stroke involves the payment of money, there won’t be a deal unless payment is made.Even like these concerns, some cases can’t be settled.
The positions of the parties may be appropriately far away apart that a procedures is necessary.

I despise to see people taken advantage of and I hate to look people dwell on after choosing the wrong lawyer. most likely those are two of the reasons that I became a lawyer, therefore that I could complete something just about those situations. I have seen clients who had lawyers leaving behind their cases for not just weeks but years. I have heard complaints very nearly lawyers who would not say the client what was going on like their cases, but would financial credit the client gone the client called to question what was happening. I have heard complaints not quite lawyers who took child maintenance from clients without a clear concurrence of the expectations upon either side.
I then hate to have to tidy up a mess made by another lawyer. It is much easier to urge on a client and avoid potential problems than it is to fix damage from choosing the incorrect lawyer. I have seen below par drafted prenuptial agreements and disaffection agreements. I have had to step in to fix and finish a botched annulment. I have had to step in to fix and finish a botched divorce.
One woman’s story of woe especially comes to mind. concerning the office, we call her tally “The fable of the Nine Year Divorce.” She had hired an attorney to defend a divorce be in here in Virginia and to counter sue for divorce. She was full of life out of welcome at the grow old and paid the attorney a significant retainer. There was no written contract. The lawyer she had prearranged seemed to be scared of the opposing counsel and did nothing to shape the proceedings forward. In fact, the lawyer allowed the conflict to be dismissed from the court docket for inaction.
Cases are not dismissed on this basis without prior statement to opinion of record. The lawyer did not inform his client of the potential dismissal. It was not until the court notified her of the dismissal that she found out what had happened. The client was in an automobile accident, as a upshot of which she was hospitalized and undergoing combined surgeries. She trusted her lawyer to look out for her interests; she did not know or understand what should have been taking area and had no idea until she conventional notification from the court that the warfare had been dismissed.
When the client contacted the lawyer, he had the encounter reinstated. However, it was not until the opposing attorney withdrew from the case, that the lawyer acted to put attend to the interests of his client. Meanwhile, the lawyer allowed the woman’s husband to abscond, fleeing the jurisdiction of the court, as soon as the bulk of the marital assets. The lawyer did acquire an order of spousal support, but did nothing in force to sum up or enforce the spousal keep order next to the defendant who was not paying.
Through our efforts collection began and an pension stream began to flow to the client. We were furthermore clever to successfully defend the girl from an attempt by her husband to end keep payments and at the similar become old recover some of the items of personal property which had been awarded to her by the court. The woman nevertheless had to defend herself from a show skirmish brought by the lawyer who was demanding on top of $10,000 and had not recognized the retainer which the woman paid at the dawn of the representation.
Perhaps you are looking at one end shopping and it is important to you to locate a lawyer or piece of legislation fixed idea that can handle complex matters for you. next you may desire to question if the lawyer handles each of those areas, but you should in addition to ask how much of the practice is devoted to each area and how much experience the lawyer has in each area. Are there client testimonials simple for each area? Think carefully and rule if it may be worthwhile to purpose out a more specialized practice for each of your problems.
I as well as suppose that there will always be a few lucky filmmakers who, throughout the entire production process, hover under the proverbial radar without entertainment attorney accompaniment. They will seemingly avoid pitfalls and liabilities when above ground bats are reputed to avoid people’s hair. By way of analogy, one of my best associates hasn’t had any health insurance for years, and he is nevertheless in good concern and economically afloat – this week, anyway.
Taken in the aggregate, some people will always be luckier than others, and some people will always be more inclined than others to roll the dice.But it is every too simplistic and pedestrian to say oneself that “I’ll avoid the dependence for film lawyers if I helpfully stay out of bother and be careful”. An entertainment lawyer, especially in the realm of film (or other) production, can be a genuine constructive asset to a doings describe producer, as capably as the film producer’s personally-selected inoculation adjacent to potential liabilities.
If the producer’s entertainment attorney has been through the process of film production previously, then that entertainment lawyer has already school many of the uncompromising lessons regularly dished out by the personal ad world and the film business.The film and entertainment lawyer can thus spare the producer many of those pitfalls. How? By sure thinking, careful planning, and – this is the absolute key – skilled, thoughtful and unconditional documentation of all film production and similar activity.
The film lawyer should not be thought of as simply the person seeking to announce compliance. Sure, the entertainment lawyer may sometimes be the one who says “no”. But the entertainment attorney can be a determined force in the production as well.The film lawyer can, in the course of legal representation, assist the producer as an committed situation consultant, too. If that entertainment lawyer has been in force afterward scores of film productions, later the bustle characterize producer who hires that film lawyer entertainment attorney encouragement from that definitely cache of experience.
Yes, it sometimes may be hard to stretch the film budget to allow for counsel, but professional filmmakers tend to view the legitimate cost expenditure to be a fixed, predictable, and essential one – akin to the pure obligation of rent for the production office, or the cost of film for the cameras. while some film and entertainment lawyers may price themselves out of the price range of the average independent film producer, other entertainment attorneys attain not.
To paraphrase Michael Douglas’s Gordon Gekko air in the doings picture “Wall Street” taking into consideration speaking to Bud Fox while on the morning seashore on the oversized mobile phone, this entity-formation matter usually constitutes the entertainment attorney’s “wake-up call” to the film producer, telling the film producer that it is time. If the producer doesn’t properly create, file, and preserve a corporate or extra capture entity through which to conduct business, and if the film producer doesn’t thereafter make all effort to save that entity shielded, says the entertainment lawyer, next the film producer is potentially yearning himself or herself.
Without the shield neighboring liability that an entity can provide, the entertainment attorney opines, the doings picture producer’s personal assets (like house, car, bank account) are at risk and, in a worst-case scenario, could ultimately be seized to satisfy the debts and liabilities of the film producer’s business.Like it or not, the film lawyer entertainment attorney continues, “Film is a theoretical business, and the statistical majority of hobby pictures can fail economically – even at the San Fernando Valley film studio level.
It is irrational to run a film concern or any new form of concern out of one’s own personal bank account”. Besides, it looks unprofessional, a genuine issue if the producer wants to attract talent, bankers, and distributors at any point in the future.The choices of where and how to file an entity are often prompted by entertainment lawyers but after that driven by situation-specific variables, including tax concerns relating to the film or action portray company sometimes.
The film producer should allow an entertainment attorney complete it and realize it correctly. Entity-creation is affordable. fine lawyers don’t look at incorporating a client as a profit-center anyway, because of the obvious potential for new concern that an entity-creation brings. even if the film producer should be aware that below U.S. produce an effect a client can blaze his/her lawyer at any mature at all, many entertainment lawyers who get the entity-creation be in acquire asked to complete additional show for that same client – especially if the entertainment attorney bills the first job reasonably.
I wouldn’t suggest self-incorporation by a non-lawyer – any more than I would tell a film producer-client what actors to hire in a movement characterize – or any more than I would tell a D.P.-client what lens to use upon a specific film shot. As will be true on a film production set, everybody has their own job to do. And I endure that as soon as the producer lets a talented entertainment lawyer do his or her job, things will begin to gel for the film production in ways that couldn’t even be originally foreseen by the pastime portray producer.
This situation after that often constitutes a wake-up call of sorts. Let’s say that the film producer wants to make a leisure interest picture following supplementary people’s money. (No, not an unfamiliar scenario). The film producer will likely begin soliciting funds for the movie from so-called “passive” investors in any number of viable ways, and may actually begin collecting some monies as a result. Sometimes this occurs prior to the entertainment lawyer hearing about it publicize facto from his or her client.
If the film producer is not a lawyer, next the producer should not even think of “trying this at home”. taking into account it or not, the entertainment lawyer opines, the film producer will thereby be selling securities to people. If the producer promises investors some pie-in-the-sky results in the context of this inherently learned issue called film, and next collects grant on the basis of that representation, say you will me, the film producer will have even more grave problems than conscience to deal with. Securities submission feint is along with the most difficult of matters faced by an entertainment attorney.
Let’s believe that the film producer has decided, even without entertainment attorney recommendation yet, that the production entity will habit to be a signatory to comprehensive bargaining agreements of unions such as Screen Actors Guild (SAG), the Directors Guild (DGA), and/or the Writers Guild (WGA). This is a topic concern place that some film producers can handle themselves, particularly producers behind experience. But if the film producer can afford it, the producer should consult following a film lawyer or entertainment lawyer prior to making even any initial read subsequent to the guilds.
The producer should very consult next an entertainment attorney or film lawyer prior to issuing any writings to the guilds, or signing any of their documents. Failure to plot out these guild issues with film or entertainment attorney guidance ahead of time, could guide to problems and expenses that sometimes create it cost-prohibitive to thereafter continue afterward the picture’s further production.
A film production’s agreements should all be in writing, and not saved until the last minute, as any entertainment attorney will observe. It will be more costly to bring film suggestion in, late in the hours of daylight – sort of in the same way as booking an airline flight a few days before the planned travel.A film producer does not desire to dwell on a put up to allegation for talent compensation, or a disgruntled location-landlord, or permit child labor authorities – threatening to enjoin or shut the interest describe production the length of for reasons that could have been easily avoided by cautious planning, drafting, research, and communication like one’s film lawyer or entertainment lawyer.
Part of the suffering lawyers point of view as soon as they perform in imitation of pay per click (and this translates directly into needy conversion rates) is that (1) they spend tiny mature creating their pay per click ads and (2) the ads dispatch traffic to the lawyer’s website. Any Internet promotion professional who knows something just about pay per click knows you never send pay per click traffic to a website.Legal Internet directories and portals give the lawyer a potential Internet marketing and advertising unusual because of their popularity and enhanced Internet visibility.
How practicing a listing in a legal Internet encyclopedia or portal can be for a lawyer in terms of marketing, advertising and Internet exposure to air will depend on the particular attributes of the true Internet reference book or portal in question. every things mammal equal, genuine Internet directories or portals that accomplishment a progress to be listed in them create more desirability as an Internet marketing and advertising unorthodox than similar sites that come up with the money for listings for free.
Many authentic Internet directories and portals exist that have a unconditionally mighty Internet presence, and they are excellent resource centers for lawyers, but this does not automatically create them fine places to advertise. later than Internet real portals especially it’s not how many lawyers the portal attracts but how many people the Internet legitimate portal attracts who are searching for true services. People have paid thousands of dollars for advertising in Internet legitimate portals that have produced nothing in the habit of Internet publicity and advertising results.
A categorically wise idea for any lawyer who considers advertising in an Internet valid portal is to get some unquestionably accurate user demographics upon what nice of specific traffic the Internet valid portal is actually attracting.What is a lawyer supposed to do? Everywhere the lawyer looks, whether the publicity and advertising media is Internet or non-Internet, considerable financial risk is involved, and a guarantee that the lawyer will get good, hermetic results for the amount of child maintenance they spend is often difficult to achieve.
Ultimately the best pretentiousness for a lawyer to go gone Internet promotion and advertising – the artifice that will ultimately acquire them the best long term results for the money they spend — is to focus upon getting their website to rank tall in organic search results. behind all things are considered, people on the Internet who search for goods and facilities mainly search for websites to find their answers.If a lawyer is looking for an Internet promotion and advertising answer that doesn’t require subconscious allowance of the pay per click crowd, the lawyer may want to see into pay per phone call programs.
Pay per phone call is in the manner of pay per click, but the lawyer does not pay for a call unless they receive one. And the costs for pay per phone call are normally substantially less that what the lawyer will pay for a click in many cases. A intellectual lawyer may even want to believe to be getting effective when several pay per phone call providers past the idea that amid the providers the lawyer will receive ample leads in the aggregate to make involvement bearing in mind these programs worth it.
Many of the Internet publicity and advertising solutions that a lawyer chooses to see into must be tried upon a act by dogfight basis. Absolutely nothing can be assumed. A pay per click advertising advocate that works agreed skillfully for the lawyer later one search provider might fail miserably gone another.
One last matter that a lawyer should be au fait of behind it comes to the Internet and a website presence is that appearances in reality accomplish count. Many people have been upon the Internet for 10 years and have therefore seen websites of all types and styles. People are used to seeing professionally designed websites. The lawyer’s website should be too.

Age Groups
The CDL’s classrooms are divided into three categories for the 2020-21 school year:
Infant:0 – 24 months at time of enrollment Two’s and Three’s:24 months up to 48 months at time of enrollment 4k & 5’s:48 months or older at time of enrollment – Kindergarten attendance
We use a mixed-age model in our classrooms. This model has many benefits but probably the greatest is that a child can be in the same classroom for at least two years. Teachers can really get to know each child and provide for his or her changing needs over time. Also, teachers who work with a mixed-age classroom become more sensitive to normal variations of children’s development. Being in a group with a broader age-span also gives children the opportunity to gravitate to others more closely matched to their own developmental level. Older children can learn how to be helpful, patient, and tolerant of younger peers’ competencies, and to serve as desirable role models.

A sense of routine is extremely important during early childhood development. Our Program supports routine through structured and predictable events, but also allows for plenty of free exploration. During free exploration, children are encouraged to explore interest areas, participate in meaningful investigations, and interact with adults and peers. During planned activities, teachers and students work together as a team. Based on children’s interests and developmental levels, the team creates a plan that encourage exploration, the development of inquiry skills, and We strive for a balance between adult-initiated and child-initiated times, active and quiet times, as well as indoor and outdoor periods.
Younger children:Routines for infants and young toddlers are flexible so that teachers can meet the individual needs of each child. The care-giving routines (feeding, diapering, toilet training, napping, etc.) are part of the “curriculum” because they are connected to attachment and relationship building. Older children:Older toddlers and preschoolers follow established routines and a daily schedule that includes some group times. Schedules are posted outside each classroom door for parents and visitors to see. Indoor Environment
Physical environment is a foundation of the early childhood curriculum. Each classroom environment is aesthetically pleasing and rich in opportunities for children to notice, wonder, explore and discover. Our strategy for room layout is to arrange the room into a messy zone, an active zone, and a quiet zone. Each classroom is divided into learning centers or areas which include:
Dramatic Play & Pretend Play Areas Blocks & Large Motor Creative Art Music & Movement Manipulatives & Math Discovery Science & Sensory Language & Literacy Outdoor Environment
At the CDL we value outdoor learning and access to nature. Children play outside every day, weather permitting. Children spend time outdoors daily both on our outdoor natural playground and by taking short walking trips to engage with “The Beyond”. “The Beyond” spaces are natural outdoor play areas, in our urban setting, on the beautiful UW-Madison campus. Regular visits to these outdoor spaces, enhance the depth and richness of children’s experiences to explore and make new discoveries in “The Beyond”.
The CDL’s outdoor spaces are set up for exploration and learning with an emphasis on connecting to nature in our urban setting. Our space is thoughtfully planned to provide a place for large motor activities and access to natural areas such as gardens, sand, water, trees, birds and insects. Natural and open-ended materials are used whenever possible to enhance play including pinecones, stones, sticks, leaves, etc. Children are encouraged and have the opportunity to engage in the inquiry process within this natural environment.

Is it bad for a chiropractor to crack your back?
Generally, no. When you “crack” your back, nothing’s actually cracking, splintering, or breaking. There’s even a technical term for it: crepitus. Spinal manipulation, or an “adjustment,” can be done by yourself or by a professional, such as a chiropractor or other joint and spine specialist.
How can you crack your lower back?
Lower back rotation
Lie on your back. Raise your knees up so they’re bent. Keeping your shoulders still, move your hips to one side so that the knee on that side is touching the ground. Hold this position for ten seconds. Slowly return your knees to their previous position. Repeat in the other direction. Can a chiropractor fix my lower back?
Many studies have concluded that manual therapies commonly used by chiropractors are generally effective for the treatment of lower back pain1,2, as well as for treatment of lumbar herniated disc for radiculopathy3,4 and neck pain, among other conditions.
How do you fix lower back pain?
Whatever the cause, there are some practices you can do to strengthen your back and keep lower back pain at bay.
Get hot and cold. Share on Pinterest. … Consider acupuncture. … Rethink your workspace. … Eat for bone health. … Sleep smarter. … Try yoga. How do you crack your lower back without twisting it?
1. Back-of-chair stretch
Sit in a chair with a solid back that allows your shoulder blades to fit over the top. You can interlace your fingers behind your head or extend your arms up over your head. Lean back and relax. Continue leaning back over the top edge of the chair until your back cracks. Has anyone died at a chiropractor?
However, death caused by chiropractic manipulations is very rare. A RAND study states that the rate of serious complications caused by chiropractic adjustments are one in one million.
Do chiropractors really move bones?
The bottom line is: when a chiropractor pops your back or other joint he is stretching the joint enough to cause this effect. Now that we’ve discussed what the pop is, let’s emphasize what it is not. The popping is not bones in your neck or back shifting into or out of place.
Why does my back crack when I stretch?
The sound of your back cracking or popping may be due to air bubbles in the synovial fluid surrounding and lubricating your joints. Putting pressure on this fluid when you stretch or twist your spine causes these gases to be released.
Why does my lower back crack so much?
Cavitation mostly occurs within your facet joint (joint between your vertebrae) capsule and causes a crack or pop. This sound is produced when the air pressure within the joint changes suddenly—causing bubbles within the joint fluid to form and/or collapse.
How should I sleep with lower back pain?
The best sleeping position for lower back pain is on your side with a partial bend in the knees7. Keeping the knees bent helps balance the body and reduces pressure on the lumbar spine. Many people find it helpful to put a small pillow between their knees to make this position more comfortable.
Why do doctors hate chiropractors?
Historically, the medical associations have demonstrated resentment to any other community treating the ill. So first and foremost, it started out as a turf war. Secondarily, Medical Doctors don’t really understand what Chiropractors do, as they were not trained in spinal manipulation techniques.
Do doctors recommend chiropractors?
Some doctors also suggest trying chiropractic care. The good news is that no matter what treatment is recommended, most people with a recent onset of back pain are better within a few weeks — often within a few days.
What is better for lower back pain chiropractor or massage?
They both can help alleviate the pain that is disrupting your quality of life. But Chiropractic care address the spine and its alignment and massage therapists are more focuses on the muscles.

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - HYBRID (Innovative Training Network towards raising and supporting the next generation of creative and entrepreneurial cross-speciality imaging experts)
Reporting period: 2017-10-01 to 2019-09-30
HYBRID is an intersectoral, innovative training network that received funding from the European Commission for 4 years. Here, HYBRID stands for “Healthcare yearns for bright researchers of imaging data”. We seek to provide essential information for personalized medicine that involves non-invasive imaging procedures. Personalized medicine is the practice of using selected and measured characteristics to guide decisions on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease for patient groups and individual patients. It represents a paradigm shift in patient management. To realize the full potential of personalized medicine, highly-specific, reproducible and quantifiable biomarkers are required for disease characterization. Such biomarkers can be obtained with a number of techniques, of which non-invasive imaging methods have become a focus of attention over the past decade.
The ultimate goal of HYBRID is to establish the field of non-invasive disease characterization using various imaging methods, including X-ray imaging, computed tomography (CT), nuclear scintigraphy, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), or more complex imaging methods, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). Specifically, we seek to adopt a more inclusive approach to image analysis, which considers anatomical and functional imaging using multiple of these methods, together with related non-imaging parameters that are extracted from patients during their clinical work-up. We propose this all-encompassing method, or holistic approach to deriving valuable information from imaging and non-image related data: HYBRID.
The HYBRID Mission
Our network brings together international academic, industrial and non-governmental organization partners in a cross-specialty platform to advance imaging sciences as part of personalized medicine with a focus on non-invasive imaging using multiple methods that includes anatomical and functional data from patients. Specifically, we present a consortium of world-leading imaging experts with in-depth knowledge of advanced imaging. Their expertise spans from the development of imaging methods, the design and construction of imaging systems, to applied imaging in research and clinical routine. All experts are embedded in a clinical environment, thus experienced in converting ideas and knowledge into applications fit for clinical use.
The HYBRID Vision
Our vision is to support the concept of personalized medicine by providing novel insights into disease characterization and diagnostic methods that are applicable in clinical routine.
The milestones and deliverables for the first reporting period have been completed, except two milestones which are delayed due to technical reasons and re-evaluation of priorities. The progress of the projects has been presented at multiple (inter-)national conferences, and has so far resulted in three peer-reviewed papers.
All fellows have a personal development plan in which they report the progress of their project, as well as the courses they take in order to develop their skills in conducting their research autonomously with the support of scientific and non-academic network partners. They are enrolled in local PhD programmes. Besides the local training courses the fellows can follow, additional trainings are organized by HYBRID. Topics covered in this first reporting period are among others scientific integrity, media training, (project) management skills, and open science. Moreover, annual training weeks have provided the fellows with a full overview of the techniques and methodological approaches available in HYBRID along with hands-on experiences. Concurrently with these annual training weeks, general meetings have been organized to encourage interaction between ESRs and PIs from the various beneficiaries.
The HYBRID website (www.hybrid2020.eu) provides an overview of the goals, mission and vision of the project and the individual research activities. It introduces the teas involved. It is also the main place where news articles concerning HYBRID meetings, outreach activities by our fellows and other relevant information is shared. The articles are often (co)-written by fellows, who can use this as an opportunity to practice their writing skills for a general audience. Further dissemination of HYBRID news takes place via the HYBRID Twitter account (@HYBRID2020). Finally, all fellows perform outreach activities every year to share their research with the general public, ranging from children to senior citizens.
Within HYBRID, we aim to educate a new generation of imaging experts with an encompassing knowledge from data acquisition and processing to clinical implementation of new technologies. This way, they will be able to tackle the challenges of tomorrow’s medical imaging. In work package 2, the aim is to provide optimal data acquisition protocols and image formation methods to generate accurate and reliable multi-parametric images. Work package 3 aims to develop analysis techniques to improve diagnosis using multi-parametric, multi-modality imaging. Finally, work package 4 aims to integrate multi-parametric imaging (MPI) into patient management by optimizing diagnosis, prediction, therapy planning, and evaluation; with focus on cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
The results obtained by the HYBRID project will help groups of patients in the future by providing means to tailor diagnostic and therapeutic choices to individual patients. This, in turn, will bring healthcare costs down by avoiding futile and costly procedures for those who will not benefit from inappropriate and ineffective treatments.
