Frozen treats like smoothies or “fruit shakes” are an easy (and sneaky) way to incorporate fruits and vegetables into children’s diets, especially if they’re picky eaters. The enticing colors are an easy sell and the flavors do not disappoint.
The electric green in our Green Machine Smoothie delivers a good dose of vitamins A and K from spinach and over 100% of your RDI (recommended daily intake) of vitamin C from one kiwi. Combined with banana and fresh pineapple, the fruity treat tastes anything but healthy. The addition of banana adds a boost of potassium, as well as the ability to disguise any “green” flavor.
Our Purple Banana Nut Bread Smoothie is both fun and delicious while providing substantial amounts of fiber and protein from the nuts. Though high in fat, the nuts supply healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats, like those found in olive oil. The antioxidant and fiber-rich dose of blueberries yield a vibrant purple color.
Optional in both recipes, ice will quickly chill a fresh fruit smoothie and give it a more shake-like consistency. If using frozen fruit, ice may not be necessary. Coconut water is packed with potassium and electrolytes, offering a subtle sweetness with significantly less sugar than fruit juices. Non-fat Greek yogurt is another excellent substitution, containing up to twice as much protein as other yogurts and a tart, rich flavor.
These recipes are quick and easy to prepare, coming together in just about 10 minutes. Try different fruit and vegetable combinations for other supercharged smoothie options. Add shredded carrots for lots of vitamin A and a new way to utilize a sweeter vegetable. Sub in strawberries or raspberries for a different flavor profile with bright pink colors. Or, throw in a little apple (with the skin) for some added sweet-tart flavor. Experiment with walnuts, sunflower or flax seeds or even a tablespoon of wheat germ for additional nutrition and flavor.
Just remember, there aren’t any rules, so keep experimenting and “shake” things up!

I was unsure of the correct size of the Lockheed brake master cylinder for the JB Van, so I dropped into Darwin's Winnellie Brake Centre today on the off chance that they had a kit listed somewhere. Sure did! Old mate picked up the Lockheed stock catalogue, and flicked through a few pages to "Morris - JB".
The book showed that the master cylinder bore was 7/8", the same as the pre-1962 Morris Minor. In fact, a cross-check showed that the seals were identical, having the same individual stock numbers. The only difference was in the external rubber boot, the MM kit having a plain boot, and the JB kit having a "concertina" type boot. Tongue in cheek I asked him if he had a seal kit on the shelf, at which he smiled and produced a JB one, and said that he always carried one kit. The price was AU$24 which I thought was most reasonable. So I got my master cylinder seal kit, and he is going to get another in for me for the clutch. The only difference between the brake kit and the clutch kit is that the one-way valve is not used.
So, coming up shortly is a master cylinder re-kit for both brake and clutch, and for the clutch slave cylinder.
Nice work Bugly! I think these are the same brake people who helped me. They had the JB on the books. Great service. they have helped me with my Sunbeam Alpine, 1968 Saab 96 and even with my NSU Ro80 - they have just about everything.

The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman is a must read book for any prospective entrepreneur or anyone who wants to start a small business. It's also a wonderful primer for anyone who needs to learn the essential aspects of business management.
Now, while it's a great book for businessmen and entrepreneurs, it does a few minor flaws, which we'll cover in this following review.
The book starts out really strong, making a great argument for the ever decreasing value of an MBA in contrast to the quickly rising education costs. An MBA from a respectable school can cost over $200,000.
Furthermore much of what is taught in a classroom setting is outdated. Even worse, in some cases, the lessons are WRONG when it comes to what's actually happening in our highly agile business world of today.
Getting an MBA promises nothing more than the extensive debt to goes with it.
Business schools don't create successful people. They simply accept them, then take credit for their success.
So the stated benefit of The Personal MBA is you will get all the important knowledge from an MBA program in a single inexpensive book.
While it would be wonderful if that was true, it does not teach you everything you would learn in an MBA program. Even a wasteful, expensive, and off target program will provide more knowledge than what you would get from a single book. That said, The Personal MBA does a great job of providing a simple overview of the important lessons you would learn in a classroom setting.
So, while the Personal MBA may not deliver on the implicit promise of an entire masters of business worth of knowledge between its covers, it does give an important start. Most importantly it also points you in some directions where you can learn more on your own through self education.
While I disagree that any single book could teach you an MBA-level worth of knowledge, I absolutely believe that 20 to 30 great business-centric books plus The Personal MBA could easily give you that level of education.
This book (and his website) point you in the direction of many more books that can round out your “Personal MBA” education. Read these books and Personal MBA and you may well be on the way to exceeding any MBA graduate in the knowledge that matters.
You can see from this list that it's possible to get a well-rounded, graduate level business education for the cost a few hundred dollars or to quote Good Will Hunting: "an education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!"
So What Does Personal MBA Teach Us?
What does this book actually teach you?
As you can see from the highlighted topics above, the primary lesson of The Personal MBA is you learn how to market your product and work with customers. It is essential to communicate well with them, both as an advocate for your product and as a method to improve your product.
Forming this ability to understand what your customer’s desire and delivering it to them before they even know they need it is the core of The Personal MBA.
Every time your customers purchase from you, they’re deciding that they value what you have to offer more than they value anything else their money could buy at that moment.
This style of forward thinking, understanding your customers needs and creating the best product possible and will lead you down the path of success. All you need to do is couple it with hard work and the knowledge you can glean from 30 to 40 library books.
It would be far better to have someone who understands the importance of the customer/product relationship and was self educated on their business tools than have a Harvard or Wharton MBA who ruthlessly sticks to last century’s best business practices.
If you lack business training, or want an excellent refresher on the some of the best current tactics on understanding your product and customer, this book should be an absolute must read.

What do we mean by Preparation?
What activities are required to prepare this asset for reuse?
How can I ensure our people are following the proper processes?
What activities were previously performed on this asset?
How many assets do I have of a given type that are ready for reuse? How many are awaiting preparation?
Do I have assets getting stuck somewhere in the preparation process?
Are assets failing testing? What kinds of assets?
Can I deliver this asset to a customer or is it still pending preparation?
Is this person allowed to perform this action on this kind of asset?
Are there any reasons this asset cannot be prepared? Is it flagged as damaged or past a test date?
TrackAbout’s implementation team will work with you to identify what kinds of preparation you are doing today. We will also help you to determine which steps would be the best to automate at the start of a project and which you might automate in a later phase. Once we know where we will start, TrackAbout team will design electronic forms that your people can use to document preparation steps.
We will also decide together on the statuses that your assets will move through when going through preparation. At it simplest the assets can move from ‘not ready for use’ to ‘ready for use’. You can rename these statuses (usually to dirty/clean or empty/full) and create other statuses to fully track as much of your preparation process as you want to track.
Once setup your people will scan barcodes on the assets and enter other information into a mobile device including a smartphone, tablet or rugged mobile computer/scanner. This data is then securely sent up to TrackAbout’s web-based application where it can be viewed or integrated into your other systems.
In the real world, your people are always in a rush and keeping track of how to prepare every kind of asset can be complicated. TrackAbout can help. There are many business rules that we can help your setup around the safe preparation of assets. We help to move more of the logic into the software and make all of your activities easier and safer for your people.
Let us help you get your preparation processes under more control.

A joint statement on the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons was delivered by New Zealand today at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Expressing deep concern for the catastrophic consequences that any use of nuclear weapons would entail, as well as for their uncontrollable destructive capability and indiscriminate nature, the New Zealand statement was signed by 123 other member states. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), a campaign coalition with more than 300 members in 80 countries welcomes the statement and the initiative shown by non-nuclear-weapon states including some nuclear-umbrella states to drive a new discourse around the global humanitarian threat posed by nuclear weapons, a discourse that can only conclude with the decision to make these weapons illegal once and for all.
In 2013 alone the number of states and international organizations compelled by the undeniable evidence of the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons to express deep concern about the limited progress of nuclear disarmament has grown exponentially. In March 2013, the conference on the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons held in Oslo concluded that no international response plan could effectively be put in place to respond to a nuclear detonation. In September the first high–level meeting on nuclear disarmament convened by the UNGA, despite resistance from nuclear-armed states, showed a strong focus on the humanitarian approach and numerous calls to ban nuclear weapons. Building on this momentum, Mexico announced a conference to continue the discussion around the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons, to be held next February in Nayarit.
“The humanitarian focus on nuclear weapons has again proven to be successful. A growing number of states are showing concern about the unacceptable harm that these weapons of mass destruction threaten to unleash. This debate strengthens our confidence and resolve that there is a credible way forward towards the prohibition of nuclear weapons,” says Beatrice Fihn, member of ICAN’s International Steering Group.
A single nuclear weapon detonation in an urban area would kill hundreds of thousands immediately and leave hundreds of thousands more in desperate need. A wider use of nuclear weapons could cause climatic changes that would impair global crop production and lead to a mass famine among the world’s most vulnerable populations. Study upon study has pointed to the inability to prevent or care for civilian casualties on a mass scale. Mitigation is simply impossible.
“The 124 governments that have co-sponsored this important statement on the humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons are putting the security of their people above the militarist justifications for some states to have nuclear weapons,” said Dr Rebecca Johnson, Co-Chair of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. “Diplomatic action to ban and eliminate nuclear weapons will be the best way to prevent a nuclear catastrophe in the future.

Curious to know how scuffed-up the iPhone 5 will get over time? Ever wanted to watch a toddler smash an iPhone with some keys? Today is your lucky day. Me and Ellie performed some highly scientific experiments on it today at iFixit, and at the very least, I think you all will get a kick out of it. Enjoy!
So What’s Inside the iPhone 5?
Happy Friday! Here’s what I spent the day working on yesterday. As some of you already know, I write and host a webshow for a iFixit, and part of what we do is a thing called a “teardown.” Basically, when a new gadget comes out, we get out grubby little hands on one as quickly as we can manage, and then we take it apart and reveal what it’s made of. So, if you’re at all curious about the iPhone 5, then I hope you enjoy the video we made!
So, whaddaya think? Did you learn something? If you want to see the complete teardown (it’s pretty fantastic), check it out on iFixit. Also, I have to admit this to you: the reason I look so tan is because I accidentally used my bronzer brush (instead of my powder brush) to apply my matte-powder, and I kept touching-up with it all day long, thereby applying more and more bronzer to my face. WHOOPS. By the end of this I have skin like Snooki. My Bad.

As Rehana Fathima tried to reach the Sabarimala shrine in Kerala on Friday, carrying on her head the offerings for Lord Ayyappa, like all devotees and guarded by hundreds of policemen, there was trouble for her back home in Kochi.
Ms Fathima's home was vandalised by men angry with her for trying to "defy" Sabarimala's centuries-old ban on women of menstrual age, or between 10 and 50 years; the Supreme Court last month ended the ban in a landmark ruling.
The police arrived at Ms Fathima's house after being alerted by neighbours. "We came here after hearing that her home was damaged. We don't know if there was anyone inside," said a police official.
She works with state-run telecom company BSNL and lives with her partner, who had accompanied her to Sabarimala Temple. "There is no separate law for activists," said her partner, a news producer with a local channel. "She is not an activist and she the right to pray," he said.
Rehana Fathima was forced to turn back after nearly two hours of waiting for protesters to allow her and a woman journalist to complete the last few metres to the temple of Lord Ayyappa. The police told the two women that the protests were escalating, and the temple priests had threatened to shut down Sabarimala.
"I don't know what happened to my children. My life is also in danger. But the police have said that they will provide protection. That is why I am going back," she said.
Around 30 employees and the chief priest of the Sabarimala shrine sat down at the 18 steps leading to the inner chamber and sang Ayyappa hymns after they heard that the two women were about to reach the shrine.
The 31-year-old was upset at the Devaswom minister's comment that "both women who tried to go to Sabarimala today were activists".
"Tell me, how does one be a devotee. You tell me that first and then I will tell you if I'm a devotee or not." She claimed that it is people, not "devotees", who are disrupting peace at the shrine.
BSNL confirmed that Ms Fathima was on their staff Ernakulam. "Outside BSNL premises, Ms Fathima alone shall be fully responsible for her actions, in her own personal capacity, outside normal business hours," said the company, dissociating itself from the row.

No, no, “it” does NOT refer to “get Richard back on the blog after some 4 months of silence” – although I think Scott was starting to think that and was probably considering threats of bodily harm!
I know there was a LOT of (very well justified, I have to confess) skepticism when the PCI-SIG announced PCIe 5.0 back in June of 2017 and claimed the spec would be “completed in 2019”. Scott talked about this a little while after that year’s Developers Conference and noted that Synopsys had already demonstrated PCIe 5.0 running 32GT/s in simulation.
One of my excuses for not blogging much lately is the raft of PCI-SIG Developers Conferences – the most recent one being in Taiwan. Here you can see me showing off the Synopsys PCIe 4.0 complete system with what we call “RAS-DES” and which I covered in my “PCIe Designs for Automotive Applications” presentation.

The healthcare industry has become bigger and more important than ever before. New viruses, illnesses, and conditions are cropping up each day. Keeping the world healthy and safe has become a major concern for medical professionals everywhere.
For example, modern medicine has been challenged by issues such as antibiotic resistance in certain bacteria that have become a serious and urgent threat. Each year, approximately “2 million people get sick from a superbug…about 23,000 die,” according to WebMD. But what if there was a way to discover a cure today by translating medical documents from the past?
Medical knowledge from the past often gets left in the past, but last year, a group of people from multiple universities and countries sought to discover if the past could save the future. Comprised of “a group of medievalists, microbiologists, medicinal chemists, parasitologists, pharmacists and data scientists,” they called themselves the “Ancientbiotics team” (Connelly, 2017). They took ancient remedies and recipes from medieval texts, translated them into modern terms and measurements, and found a few interesting mixtures that produced amazing results.
One medieval recipe was created that “turned out to be a potent antistaphylococcal agent” which killed the superbug MRSA in lab testing, says Connelly. Connelly went on to translate an entire text of Latin medical recipes that her team can use as a reference when attempting to treat infectious diseases in the future. Good translation might someday save lives when it comes to the war on superbugs.
The medical field changes constantly, and the need for medical translation is more important now than ever before. As new drugs are created, new bacteria and viruses found, and more people afflicted by illnesses and conditions, it takes translators who are specialists in the medical field to foster communication between specialists.
When it comes to professional, human translation in any field, contact ITC to get the right people for the right job. We have specialized medical translators in multiple medical fields such as oncology, surgical procedures, and public health. When everyone works together, from the past to the present, it can create one healthy future.

Weeks after Mayor Bill de Blasio promised to establish a commission to come up with a property tax reform plan, Staten Island lawmakers rolled out several new proposals in a bid to make the current system more fair.
Council Member Joseph Borelli joined Staten Island Borough President James Oddo and Council Minority Leader Steven Matteo to announce a four part plan to reform the broken and inequitable property tax system.
The measures include reinstating the property tax rebate; freezing property tax bills for eligible senior citizen; passing legislation that would reset the state-mandated assessment cap when a property is sold, and putting together a commission to study and propose reforms to the city’s property tax system.
Minority Leader Steven Matteo (R-Mid-Island), Councilman Joseph Borelli (R-South Shore) and Borough President James Oddo on Tuesday rolled the proposals at a press conference.
However, the mayor provided few details on what to expect and when the announcement was coming.
The commission would look at “inequities and irregularities” in the way property values are assessed and taxes are levied and also provide a analysis of the property tax system and recommend potential changes.
They said the commission would need at least a year to work and make final recommendations. After that process, public hearings would be held and any proposed changes to the property tax system the city wanted to adopt would need to be drafted into legislation; approved by both the City Council and the State Legislature and their respective committees; then signed into law by the mayor and the governor before they could take effect.
Under the administration of former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, city homeowners received a $400 property tax rebate check from 2004 to 2009. The Island lawmakers recommended bringing a similar program back.
They said the rebate would require the State Legislature to pass enabling legislation, which is currently being sponsored by State Sen. Andrew Lanza of Staten Island and Assemblyman Michael Benedetto of the Bronx. The rebate would then need to be agreed upon during the city’s fiscal 2019 budget negotiations, voted on by the City Council and then signed into law by the mayor.
The lawmakers also proposed the city study and implement a property tax “freeze” for those Class 1 homeowners who are senior citizens that meet specific criteria including age, income, residency in New York City and time period of home ownership.
As part of the program, eligible homeowners would have their property taxes frozen at a base year level. They said that until title passes to a new owner or an heir, either all subsequent tax bills would contain a deduction equal to the difference between what is owed for the current tax year and the base year.
Current year property taxes would have to be paid in full, but the homeowner would then apply for and receive a reimbursement equal to the difference between what is owed for the current tax year and the base year.
Under their proposal, the current property tax assessment cap would reset when the property sold so that the assessment of a newly-purchased home would be calculated based on the current market value from the new sale price.
In order to accomplish the resetting, the lawmakers said it would require amending New York State Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) 1805, which they said they are requesting through a resolution in the City Council. In addition to providing property tax equity for Class 1 properties in the city, they said the change is could potentially provide more than $100 million in new city revenue without raising taxes, and without harming the property tax protections of families who remain in their homes.
Under the city’s current property tax system, the assessed value of properties with one-, two- and three-family homes — known as class one — can’t go up more than 6 percent every year or 20 percent over five years.
Therefore, homeowners in less popular neighborhoods where home values slowly increase will generally have higher property taxes than those with homes in more desirable areas like where de Blasio lives in Brooklyn.
Island lawmakers have been fighting current property tax system for years. Two years ago, Borelli and Matteo threatened to sue the city after an independent review confirmed that Staten Island homeowners face higher tax burdens relative to actual property values compared to the other boroughs.
Matteo vowed to fight for their reform proposals, especially the property tax rebate, over the next four months during the upcoming budget negotiations and make them a priority. He also said he had a great relationship with the new City Council speaker and already spoken to him about the reforms.
Mayor Bill de Blasio rolled out a $88.67 billion preliminary budget proposal for fiscal 2019 Thursday.
Earlier this month, de Blasio announced a $88.67 billion preliminary budget proposal for fiscal 2019, a spending plan up about $4 billion more than what was proposed in last year’s preliminary budget.
In that budget, the amount of money the city plans to collect in property taxes over the course of the remainder of the mayor’s time in office is slated to go from $26 billion to $30.7 billion — an 18 percent increase.

A world-first University of Otago study which shows how overmedication is injuring and killing our elderly could help to encourage moves to review and reduce this medication.
Elderly taking multiple high-risk medications for sleeping, pain or incontinence were twice as likely as others to fall and break bones, with many dying within a year of their injury, the research showed.
"People start them and don't stop them," university researcher and geriatrician Hamish Jamieson said.
"They end up on these long-term medications."
The study, undertaken through the university's Christchurch campus, was the first in the world to measure the impact of taking multiple medications on fractures in the elderly, he said.
In elderly, 90% of fractures resulted from a fall.
Between 20% to 30% of elderly who broke a hip died within a year.
The information would now be used in a nationwide study of pharmacy databases to see if prescriptions of certain high-risk drugs could be reduced in the elderly.
Dr Jamieson said rather than stopping medications themselves, elderly patients should regularly get their GP to review their medication.
Reviewing and reducing medication as appropriate was a "complex" task, and clinical pharmacists could also help, he said.
The impact of fractures on individuals and the community was "immense", and resulted in loss of mobility, poorer quality of life, and early entry into an aged care facility.
Medications linked with notably increasing risk of broken bones had "sedatory" and "anticholinergic" (blocking nerve impulses) side effects.
All medication had "beneficial impacts", and although the long-term side effects on the elderly could be subtle, they could "cause a major impact in the frail elderly and can cause falls, loss of independence and even premature death".
New Zealand's world-leading data set on the elderly, a Ministry of Health database called InterRAI, had made the study possible, he said.

Any tips on hooking my Expert 1.3K-FA amp up to me new 6400/Maestro. I am getting cables from Dan but any tips on the settings on the 1.3 and the 6400/Maestro? Thanks!
I'm using SPE 2K-FA which has very similar firmware to 1.3K-FA. If you follow the instructions that come with the cable from Dan, along with taking the time to preconfigure all the built-in tuner settings according to the manual and appendix, it should work flawlessly and transparently. That's the thing I love most about mine - once it's set up, you don't even know it's there its so transparent.
I agree with Rick. Dan's cable is the very BEST investment and you'll never be sorry. Just follow the instructions and the tuner instructions and you'll be ready to go!
Thank you John and Rick!

German tax officials want Airbnb Inc. to surrender all data on its German users to track down tax evaders, and have asked Irish authorities to help, a spokesperson from the Berlin Administration of Finance told Bloomberg Tax in a May 17 email.
“The expected delivery of data and information will then be made available to all of the federal states,” the spokesperson added.
It’s a symbolic move by German tax authorities, tax attorneys said: Authorities expect Airbnb to issue a settlement for users’ unpaid income and value-added tax rather than subject them to audits by German authorities, which will help protect its image and business model within the country and Europe.
Such a workaround, however, will likely have a ripple effect across Europe, attorneys said. With Germany leading the charge against such platforms to recover back taxes, the move could spark similar pushes by countries like Italy and Spain to go after Airbnb and other firms operating in the sharing economy.
Airbnb and other sharing-economy platforms like Uber Technologies Inc. have been at the center of various legal fights in Germany over the years, particularly regarding platforms’ disruption of regulations in traditional sectors like hospitality, housing and transportation.
Airbnb in particular has faced ire from German authorities for its alleged role in inflating housing shortages in urban centers such as Berlin and Hamburg, and for the failure of its users to declare and pay VAT on the extra income they earn over the platform, Thomas Eigenthaler, the president of Germany’s Federal Taxpayers’ Association, told Bloomberg Tax May 11.
In Berlin, for example, Airbnb’s activities have been severely constrained. Since 2014, the rental of entire apartments in Berlin over Airbnb is only allowed if the apartment is registered with the relevant authorities in order to prevent such entrepreneurial endeavors from eating up the housing market.
“In a tight housing market like Berlin, the topic of apartments is important. On the other hand, it falls into the overall complex nature of the digital economy, which should not be permitted to escape taxation,” the spokesperson from the Berlin Administration of Finance told Bloomberg Tax.
German tax authorities are attempting to mobilize a calculated audit against serial offenders so as to identify patterns of tax evasion over Airbnb, while also getting a better grasp of the scale of the issue, Eigenthaler said.
The effort is in line with Germany’s quest to get tech companies to pay the taxes they are liable for in domestic jurisdictions, even though they may not have a physical presence there, a spokesperson from Germany’s Federal Ministry of Finance told Bloomberg Tax in a May 9 email.
“Should companies do a significant part of their business in a jurisdiction, the absence of a physical presence in that jurisdiction should not result in the profits accrued by them there not being taxable there. Digital platforms and markets should report relevant information to the relevant tax authorities, and this information should be shared between tax jurisdictions in accordance with international tax law,” the spokesperson said.
“International efforts to clarify and standardize legal and technical standards on tax treatment and information sharing are ongoing,” the spokesperson added.
The effort is welcomed across the political spectrum in Germany.
Airbnb hasn’t received formal notice of the request, the spokesperson added.
Airbnb has entered into tax agreements with some 370 jurisdictions around the world and collected and remitted more than $592 million in hotel and tourist taxes.
Should Airbnb refuse to surrender its user data, it could face a lawsuit by Germany demanding back taxes, Cocron said.
It likely won’t go that far, however, seeing as how Airbnb’s international status makes for a difficult and expensive legal battle, he added, and that the company dragging its feet could hurt business.
Rather, the authority’s goal is ultimately that Airbnb settles the matter outside of court with a lump sum so they can continue to operate in Germany, all the while drumming up anxiety among the platforms’ users to pay taxes on the income they make, Cocron said.
“The most important thing is to show Airbnb that the authorities have them and their users on their radar,” he added.
Meanwhile, the outcome of Germany’s legal pursuit will ultimately have an effect on how emerging sharing-economy platforms perceive their status in Germany and Europe in the future, Eigenthaler said.
If a settlement does result from the action, however, it will open the door for other tax jurisdictions in Europe more affected by Airbnb’s practices, such as Italy and Spain, to demand similar means of remuneration, Cocron said.
“If this one works, all sharing platforms and startups working now should be planning for this to happen in the future,” he added.

A NEW program aimed at helping in the care of cancer and chronic illness will be offered in Byron Shire starting on Tuesday March 1 at the Brunswick Community Centre.
The New Focus Health and Wellbeing Program, created by Tranquil Mind Solutions, will offer a full day workshop providing a holistic blend of nutritional advice, health education, stress management, relaxation and gentle exercise designed specifically for the individual diagnosed with chronic illness.
Complementary therapist Lisa Keeley from Tranquil Mind Solutions created the program at the request of leading oncologists in Queensland.
She has been conducting the program since 2012 with the full support of leading oncologists, Allamanda Private Hospital and its sister facility Pacific Private Oncology on the Gold Coast.
Lisa has partnered with two local business owners who encompass the ethos of the program including acupuncturist and TCM massage therapist Tim Lyne from the Jade Tortoise Clinic, New Brighton and naturopath David Shaw from Brunswick Heads Health Foods and Café, Brunswick Heads.
The program cost is $185 and bookings are essential.
For information call: 0407 396 663 or go to: www.tranquilmind solutions.com.au.
Allamanda Private Hospital Oncologist, Dr. Keith Horwood said he is thrilled with the progress his patients at Pacific Private Oncology are making since the appointment of a Clinical Hypnotherapist earlier this year.
Lisa Keeley was appointed as part of a new, holistic approach towards patients with a serious illness, such as cancer. Ms Keeley uses methods such as Clinical Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to care for patients' mental well-being and to teach methods of relaxation and stress management.
Dr. Horwood said Ms Keeley has had a very positive impact on his patients and he can see a marked improvement in those who take advantage of the complimentary service offered by Allamanda Private Hospital for patients of Pacific Private Oncology.
"Lisa has done an excellent job in helping a number of my patients deal with the anxiety and stress of cancer, anything from the issues related to the diagnosis and prognosis, right through to chemotherapy side-effects and even needle phobia," he said.
"There is no doubt that her work is vital in improving the cancer process for oncology patients and we are very encouraged by the feedback here at Pacific Oncology.
"Lisa's work is really helping us to achieve our holistic approach, where our aim is to manage the patient as an individual person and not just treat their cancer."
Ms Keeley said her work plays a very important role in a patients' emotional journey and she is pleased Allamanda Private Hospital and Pacific Private Day Hospital has recognised its importance and is providing solutions for their patients.
Clinical Hypnotherapist, Lisa Keeley has called Allamanda Private Hospital a “progressive health institution with a very modern approach to treatments,” after her appointment in the oncology ward of Allamanda sister clinic, Pacific Private Day Hospital.
Lisa, the director of Tranquil Mind Solutions in Southport, has been appointed by Healthscope to care for patients’ mental well-being and to teach methods of relaxation and stress management as part of the holistic approach the hospital is providing for those diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer.
Clinical hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and stress management are just some of the new, complimentary services being offered to patients at Pacific Private Day Oncology.
Allamanda Private Hospital General Manager, David Harper says the hospital wants to give patients as much help as possible to cope with their diagnosis.
“We have excellent doctors and nurses who do a brilliant job of caring for our patients’ physical well-being but we also want to offer professional help regarding the patients overall mental well-being,” he said.
“We want to go above and beyond the expectations of a hospital by providing as many services to our patients as possible, offering the most rounded and comprehensive care that we can.
“We are very excited about the appointment of Lisa Keeley, as are our patients in Oncology.
Lisa specialises in clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, stress management,meditation, Emotional Freedom Technique, visualization and integral eye movement therapies.
Lisa says her job is to help patients cope with the emotional journey and associated stressors due to their diagnosis.
“The work I conduct with patients at Pacific Private Day Oncology is to assess how they are emotionally coping with their diagnosis and chosen treatments,” she said.
“Many patients with a serious medical condition such as cancer feel they have lost control in their lives when they enter the high- tech medical world their diagnosis has placed them in.
Lisa says feelings of panic, anxiety, fear, anger and sadness are common emotions associated with a serious health diagnosis and these emotions contribute to heightened stress levels.
“We practice deep relaxation, visualization and breathing techniques to help the individual reduce their stress levels and to stay in control of their emotions,” she said.
“Studies have shown these easily learned modalities also aid the immune system.
“This is vital for anyone undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments.
“By utilising these techniques the patient learns beneficial coping mechanisms during what can be a very stressful time.
Lisa also treats symptoms such as nausea and pain with hypnotherapy and NLP and says these therapeutic interventions,combined withquality Stress Management Programs, are already adoptedin many oncologyunits internationally.
“Overseas, hospitals clearly understand the importance of a holisticmind management and stress management program to assist in their patients’ mental and physical well- being,” she said.
Lisa says she is delighted that Allamanda Private Hospital and Pacific Private Day Hospitalis leading the way on the Gold Coast in this important area.
“I believe it is very pro-active that Healthscope have approved my position at Pacific Private Day Oncology and it shows an immense care and concern for their patients,” she said.
“My services in the unit are at no cost to the patient thanks to the ongoing support from Healthscope, Allamanda Private Hospital and Pacific Private Day Hospital.

The European Patent Office (EPO) has upheld an appeal by company Myriad Genetics with respect to European patent No. 699754, which relates to a "Method for diagnosing a predisposition for breast and ovarian cancer" by detection of mutations within the BRCA1 gene. The original patent was awarded to Myriad, the University of Utah Research Foundation and the United States of America in January 2001 following discovery of BRCA1, but it was opposed by several groups. The EPO subsequently revoked the patent in May 2004 (see previous news), but Myriad lodged an appeal against this decision.
Now the EPO Technical Board of Appeal has reversed that decision and reinstated the patent, but in an amended form (see press release). The patent now relates to diagnostic methods for the detection of a predisposition for breast and ovarian cancer caused by a specific group of frame-shift mutations within BRCA1, but does not include about the normal or mutated forms of the BRCA1 gene itself. Other patents lodged by Myriad relating to BRCA1 have previously been amended (see previous news).
Earlier this month the Technical Board of Appeal also decided to maintain in significantly amended form Myriad’s European patent No. 705903, relating to "Mutations in the 17q-linked breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene", originally granted in May 2001 and significantly limited in 2005 (see previous news).

My DH says there are more SW opportunities in this area than there are HW. He says once 'telecomm went out, the local HW jobs went with it'. Just passing that along. He advised staying in SV or Mass if HW is your specialty just because the opportunities are better if something happens to your position at one company. Unless you want to move into SW -- the opps abound here!
In response to 'where to live' question -- I think I read that the Indian community in Morrisville is so strong, the town has established Cricket as a sport at the local parks and rec! Yes -- you'd totally be welcome and find community and we find the humidity very workable here because so many places are air conditioned. I would not want to live here without air conditioning. Sometimes, the air is so cold inside, I wear warmer sweaters during the summer (inside) than I do the winter (inside!).
I can pursue both options, will prefer moving with my current employer.
We checked Austin too but somehow we feel we will like RTP more.
Thanks a lot, your response addresses lots of questions I had.
now don't go scaring them about our bugs and ticks....surely other places in this country have bugs and ticks. I've read some threads on here which make it seem like NC is the only state with insects.
There might be places worse than NC bug-wise. It is just that it has not been my experiance and also the op is not asking about moving to those places. I think it is fair to let people know about this problem along with all the great things about NC as it is kind of gurrantted one in your family will get a bite of it. If you don't know about ticks and disease they might carry then it can be a huge problem. My father got the Lyme disease last year and I pulled one from my 2 years old daughter's back this last weekend.
Thankfully Lyme disease is a non-issue in NC for most people. You're much more likely to come in contact with it in the Northeast.

United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, man convicted of Willful Failure to Collect or Pay Over Tax from October 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, was sentenced on June 9, 2014, by U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier.
Jared Adrian, age 46, was sentenced to 11 months of imprisonment, 1 year of supervised release, restitution in the amount of $357,542.70, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Adrian was indicted by a federal grand jury on December 3, 2013, for 15 counts of Willful Failure to Collect or Pay Over Tax, and 5 counts of Willful Failure to File Tax Return. On March 19, 2014, he pled guilty to one count of Willful Failure to Collect or Pay Over Tax.
As part of his plea agreement, Adrian admitted that he owned and operated Jared Adrian Sod. Between April 2006 and April 2010, he avoided paying employment taxes by referring to his workers as “independent contractors” or “contract laborers” when in reality they were functioning as employees. This practice resulted in him willfully failing to account for and pay over employment taxes totaling more than $115,000. Also, Adrian admitted that for each year from 2005 to 2009, he failed to file personal income tax returns with the IRS, despite earning income. He admitted that he owes income taxes of $242,051, exclusive of penalties and interest.
This case was investigated by the IRS. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kevin Koliner and Ann Hoffman prosecuted the case.
Adrian is allowed to self-report to the U.S. Marshals Service no later than June 30, 2014.

There is a strong nexus between water and energy. Water is required to produce energy, particularly electricity, and energy is consumed in providing vital urban water and wastewater services to cities and towns across Australia. Most energy in the urban water cycle is used to heat water for residential and commercial applications. Therefore, water demand management can significantly reduce overall urban energy use and carbon footprint.
This project will build upon the outputs of RP3002 and RP3028 by adapting the agent based modelling framework developed in these projects to understand the complex processes and cumulative impact of behavioural rules within a social network, in response to intervention options to promote the uptake of water conservation and efficiency measures.
The project brings together CSIRO’s capabilities in simulating social processes and technological forecasting to accommodate the complex variables associated with consumer behaviour and Sydney Water’s data sets and research associated with water conservation and efficiency to evaluate chosen policy and behavioural change programs, to reduce urban water and wastewater impacts on energy usage, and the associated carbon emissions.
This brief report provides notes from a workshop that was organised by CSIRO and Sydney Water. The aim of the workshop was to explore the potential uses of the Agent-Based Model describing water conservation behaviour.
Customer behaviour and the development and adoption of water efficient appliances are the two biggest uncertainties in estimating the future long-term demand for water.

This past week Walker Tape received this great review on Walker Tape Lace Front Thin tape. Holistique wanted to share his thoughts on this great, but lesser known tape.
If you have comments or reviews that you would like to share, please feel free to contact us.
If you want easy, mess free, and durable extensions without emptying your wallet, tape in hair extensions might be for you!
Applying tape in hair extensions is easy to do at home or by a stylist! Which is great when you want to try your hand at adding your own beautiful extensions.
The application process is done by placing two pieces of Pro-Flex II or No-Shine Tape Tabs onto each other with your own hair in between. This technique is called the “sandwich” technique.
If you are unsure about doing this process at home, we HIGHLY recommend you go to a professional stylist who has been trained to do tape in hair extensions.
Starting from the bottom, section your hair and make sure that you have a nice clean horizontal line in your hair.
Place your first tape extension 1 cm from your hair roots and press down firmly.
After you have firmly pressed the tape extension into your hair, lift the hairs that did not attach to the tape and clip them up with the rest of your hair.
After you clip the hairs that did not stick to the tape, you will then place the second tape extension on top of the first tape firmly. Make sure the tapes are even.
Once you have firmly place the two tapes together, take a small (or regular size) flat iron and place it onto the tape for one second. This way the glue with be sure to stick to the hairs in between the two tapes in the sandwich.
Now, repeat steps 1 through 4 placing the tape extensions side by side with a distance of 1 cm.
After your first row, go up 1 inch and start your second row and work upwards.
While you are installing extensions, be sure to double check to see that you are not placing the extensions out on the sides. This will make them visible. Your extensions should always be covered underneath your hair.

Today, on the same plot of earth where my great-great-great grandfather John Ridge still lies, is a small cemetery holding five other generations of my family. When I am buried, I will be the seventh. While the cemetery is surrounded by our allotment land and a cousin lives next door, none of it is Cherokee land.
Land loss for Native Americans is framed as a historic phenomenon, but for tribes in Oklahoma, it never stopped. Through allotment, the Cherokee Nation lost 74 percent of our treaty territory. Today, we still lose land every time an acre is sold to a non-Indian, inherited by someone less than half blood quantum, or even when an owner lifts restrictions to qualify for a mortgage. After a century of the legal status quo, the Cherokee Nation has jurisdiction of only 2 percent of our land left after allotment. While the initial hemorrhage of land loss occurred in previous centuries, we are still bleeding.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that could make the bleeding stop.
On Aug. 28, 1999, on a rural road outside Henryetta, Okla., Patrick Murphy murdered fellow Creek citizen George Jacobs. He was tried and sentenced to death. In 2004, Murphy’s public defender argued that the crime occurred within Muscogee (Creek) Nation’s reservation and — because only tribes and the federal government can prosecute crimes on Indian land — the state of Oklahoma did not have jurisdiction to try the case. In 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit agreed. Oklahoma appealed, and now the outcome of Murphy v. Carpenter affects not only the fate of one man but the treaty territory of five tribes and nearly half the land in Oklahoma.
The history of tribal land, with small exceptions, has moved unforgivingly in one direction. Today, American Indian reservations comprise only 55 million acres, or 2 percent of all land in the United States. Meanwhile, the National Forest Service occupies 200 million acres. In the emergence of this great nation, our government set aside more land for trees than for Indians.
If the Supreme Court upholds the 10th Circuit’s decision, the ruling would result in the largest restoration of tribal jurisdiction over Native land in U.S. history.
Creek citizens arrived in present-day Oklahoma at gunpoint. Their treaty territory — along with the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws and Seminoles — was promised to them “as long as the grass grows or the water runs.” Yet, at the turn of the century, the government came, divided up that interminable land, and gave one parcel to each tribal citizen. Most of the allotted land quickly transferred to white ownership — by sale, by swindle or by outright theft.
Between 1893 and 1907, the federal government took many different actions to force allotment on tribes. They threatened and coerced tribal leaders. They jailed traditionalists who refused to participate. They took over schools, courts, mineral resources and even the dispersal of tribal funds.
Amid the furious land grab, one important action Congress did not take was to legally terminate Creek Nation’s reservation. According to the Supreme Court decision Solem v. Bartlett, reservations cannot be terminated without a “clear statement” from Congress. That statement, in the historical record, simply does not exist.
Oklahoma’s position is that no such statement is needed because the sheer and devastating totality of “everything [that] was taken away from tribes,” as the state’s lawyer argued, is indication enough that Congress intended to leave them with nothing, much less a reservation, and “not one single absolute smidgen” of sovereignty over their land.
The attorney for Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Riyaz Kanji, rebuked this analysis, giving examples from tribes who, despite federal infringement, still clearly have reservations. “Congress has told the tribes over time . . . you will allow this mining and these easements along your land, even if you don’t want it. You will allow your children to be taken away and placed in boarding schools, even if no parent would want that.” Maltreatment alone, Kanji argued, does not dissolve a reservation.
More than 100 Indian reservations went through allotment, and arguably every tribe has had something — whether land, children, money, books or papers — seized by the United States or their surrounding state. If such hostile actions alone can be evidence to the Supreme Court that a reservation no longer exists, tribes could lose land without their or even Congress’s consent. In short, it would set unique and dangerous precedent that merely treating Native Nations as though their land does not belong to them is enough to take it away.
Oklahoma argued yesterday that the sky is falling down, and if the 10th Circuit decision is upheld, it will cease to function as a state — a compelling argument for people who know nothing about how reservations legally function. An entire body of law already governs states’ relationships to tribes and those tribes’ relationship to non-Indian residents. Half the states in the union have reservations, and the majority of those have reservations that — thanks to allotment — have non-Native owned “fee land” where tribal jurisdiction is already limited. Reservations comprise 27 percent of the land in Arizona, and it functions just fine.
The exact legal question presented by this case — whether the allotment of tribal land dissolved a reservation — was asked and answered by the Supreme Court less than two years ago. In 2016, eight of the nine justices ruled in favor of the Omaha Tribe, and five of those justices are still on the bench. But the disputed area the Supreme Court upheld for the Omaha Tribe is much smaller, has fewer non-Native residents, and lacks the vast oil and gas reserves compared to 40 percent of the state of Oklahoma. If Oklahoma wins, the obvious reason will be the only difference between the two cases: circumstance, not precedent.
In 1835, the Supreme Court upheld the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation against the state of Georgia in a landmark decision that effectively ended Andrew Jackson’s campaign to remove all Indians west of the Mississippi. That was, until Jackson simply ignored the decision. He famously remarked, “Marshall has made his decision, let us see him enforce it.” As a result, Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles were rounded up by U.S. soldiers and forced on death marches in which a quarter to a third of their citizens died.
When Jackson vowed to defy the Supreme Court, there was one other man standing in the room. It was my ancestor, John Ridge.
I am not telling the story of my family and my tribe to ask the Supreme Court to change the law. I tell this story to ask that the law be followed.
If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, the land that John Ridge not only died on, but for, could be acknowledged as Cherokee land for the first time in more than 100 years. John signed the treaty of New Echota knowing he would be killed for it but believing that the rights of the Cherokee Nation enshrined in that blood-soaked document were worth it.
One hundred and seventy-nine years later, the grass is still growing, the water is still running and, in eastern Oklahoma, our tribes are still here. And despite the grave injustice of history, the legal right to our land has never ended.

My life is a bit of a conundrum: I am a huge lover of all things Christmas while at the same time loving a good deal and saving money. You’re probably sitting there, thinking, “How in the world are you supposed to do both at the same time?!” You’re in luck, because I’m about to tell you!!
I have always been a lover of gift-giving. I blame it on my mom since she’s the best gift-giver around (no joke). BUT, when I entered my adulting years, I realized that buying gifts for anyone and everyone can quickly become stressful when you’re forced to spend your own money instead of your parents’ (oh, to be young again). Rather than quitting gift-giving all together, I decided to change up how I did Christmas in order to get the best bang for my buck.
If you’re entering the holiday season knowing you’re strapped for cash but you still want to call on your inner Saint Nick, below are my favorite ways on how to grab some joy and make the most of it!
Exchange names: Imagine you only had to buy one gift (or two if you’re married) instead of FIVE or even TEN (big families, I’m talking to you). Talk about maximization at its finest!! Not only will you save time and brainpower (less shopping & less thinking), but you’ll probably save money in the end as well. Exchanging names allows you to buy one meaningful gift that might cost $40 versus spending $10 per person on things that are small and insignificant. If you’re smart, you’ll talk your family into this one!
Stocking stuffers: If you’re one of those people that can’t imagine a world where you don’t buy for each and every family member, try sticking to a set limit and only buy stocking stuffers (for example, buy $5 stocking stuffers for each person). This forces you to be creative with a smaller budget but also allows you to exercise your love of gift-giving.
Make a game of it: Rather than setting a dollar limit or only buying for one person, create a fun task for yourself while still gifting each person on your list. Ideas include creating artwork from supplies you already have on hand, finding the perfect gift from a store like Five Below or Target (hello, dollar section!!), sewing a costume, thrift shopping, or re-gifting a meaningful trinket from your past.
Each year, my immediate family exchanges names for Christmas. We spend a larger amount on the person whose name we have, but then we also buy $5 stocking stuffers for each person in the family. This has been a fun way for us to give gifts to each person but also stay smart.
A friend of mine had a fun tradition growing up: her mother always filled their stockings with Goodwill finds (a t-shirt, coffee mug, paperback book, CD, etc.). She’d score thrift stores looking for things that she knew each of her kids enjoyed. I love this idea because it’s thrifty and fun at the same time.
Maybe your kids want to get Daddy gifts for Christmas. Give them each $3, or, heck, even $1, and let them explore DollarTree looking for the gift they think Dad will like the most. My guess is he’ll love it, even if it wasn’t expensive, because they chose it themselves.
Sew a costume or fun dress-up items out of scraps of fabric you have sitting in your craft drawer. Or, if you’re really skilled, sew some doll or Barbie clothes rather than spending that $7-10 at Walmart.
What ideas do you plan to implement this year in order to maximize your gift giving?
I never thought to wrap up my own childhood gifts for the kids! That’s a good one!
