Fun amusements to use at your next children birthday party are appropriate here. Simply pick some of these titles and bend them a smidgen. Influence them to coordinate your special gathering subject. For instance, Simon Says can turn into the Mummy Says at a Halloween gathering or it can turn into The Pirate Says at a children privateer party. Utilize these exemplary fun party amusements, include another title and make it novel to your gathering. Give your gathering visitors a truly fun, fun, fun diversion session at that unique kid or young ladies birthday festivity.
Distraught Libs is a fun approach to get party visitors to open up. What Mad Libs do is make a story…a interesting story. What’s more, everybody can make this story and it ought to be silly…that is the thing that makes it so much fun. You start to play Mad Libs with a fundamental story line. You should forget a few words and put in the sort of word that will fit there. For instance, Mary clear her bike…so that clear would should be filled in by a Verb. Mary wore a clear on her head. That clear would should be filled in by a Noun. See…how the diversion comes? Every tyke or visitor can fill in one of the missing words and after that when the words are altogether filled in read the story….You can discover books with party Mad Libs in them or you can make up your own story line utilizing the names of the birthday star and the gathering visitors in it.
Chinese Whispers is another extremely basic diversion that is enjoyable to play. Sit everybody around and have somebody begin playing by disclosing to them the Game Sentence. In Chinese Whispers a sentence or expression is advised to the principal player. That player must whisper it to the following player et cetera around the circle. At the point when the expression or sentence is advised to the last player, that player must stand up and say the sentence so anyone can hear. What is so entertaining about that? All things considered, more often than not when the message is conveyed to everybody, it has changed an extraordinary arrangement from the first sentence. Influence your sentence something senseless to like “Wet pooches shake and shake to get dry” or “Puppies utilize umbrellas just when it pours down like there’s no tomorrow”. Presently you can likewise rename your amusement to fit your gathering topic. The Pirate Whispers at a privateer party and the Princess Whispers at a princess topic party…and have your expression coordinate the subject also.
Melodic Party Games are a good time for everybody. Stop Dance and Musical Chairs are two that ring a bell right dependably when we are discussing fun melodic gathering diversions for kids. With either amusement you require somebody to stop and begin the music. To play these diversions you will require either a move floor territory or seats set around. With Freeze Dance when the music begins everybody starts to move. At the point when the music stops everybody must stop. In the event that an artist does not solidify immediately they are out. With Muscial Chairs you should have one less seat than you have players. Each time a player is disposed of you expel another seat. Here is the way you play. Set the seats out around and when the music starts to play have all the gathering visitors stroll around the hover of seats. At the point when the music stops every youngster must sit in a seat. The person who does not have a seat to sit in is out. Let the children who are out begin on a gathering create or the following action. Presently to influence these amusing to party amusements interesting, rename them. Regal Ball Freeze Dance or Pirates Freeze Dance will influence these basic and amusing to party diversions more energizing for your visitors.
Pass the Parcel is an engaging and fun party amusement for a children birthday party…and grown-ups will appreciate it as well. It is another melodic gathering amusement so have the music prepared. It’s one of those fun, fun, fun recreations that has been passed on during that time since it is agreeable. This is another amusement you can rename and give some new life to. To play Pass the Parcel you require a package and some music that accompanies your gathering subject. For a princess party play some Disney Princess tunes, for a privateer party play What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor…lol, or for a cattle rustler topic party utilize some western cowhand melodies. You can name your bundle as per your gathering subject as well. The princesses’ bundle, the privateer’s fortune or the cowhands saddle pack are for the most part potential outcomes for a package name. Affirm, now, how to play Pass the Parcel. Wrap the package a ton. What’s more, with each layer of wrapping incorporate a prize…it can be a little prize like some brief tattoos or stickers, or a candy or whatever prize you settle on. Sit everybody around and begin the music and Pass the Parcel. Stop the music and the visitor who has the package can unwrap a layer of wrapping. Furthermore they get the prize inside. At the point when a player gets the opportunity to unwrap the bundle and keep the prize, they should leave the circle. Continue going until there is just a single tyke left and obviously, they get the opportunity to keep the prize amidst every one of those layers.
A work of art and extremely fun party amusement for a children birthday party is Pin the Tail on the Donkey. This fun kids diversion is so natural to change into another form. Stick the Crown on the Princess, Pin the Eye Patch on the Pirate or X Marks the Spot are other fun thoughts. Stick the Hat on the Cowboy or the Eye on Muno for a Yo Gabba party are only a couple of approaches to turn this fun, fun party diversion into the ideal amusement for any them party. All of you know how to play Pin the Tail on the Donkey…right? Every kid gets a tail with two sided tape on it. You dazzle crease the player who is up, turn them around two or three times and afterward point them toward the Donkey. They should endeavor to stick the tail nearest to where it has a place. The person who gets the tail near where it has a place gets a prize…of course, you can give everybody a prize for playing. Stickers or transitory tattoos influence awesome prizes for this sort of game…kids to love them and they are about the least expensive gathering diversion prizes you will discover.
The Pinata diversion is fun as well. Pinatas are a conventional Mexican amusement. A pinata is truly a delicate holder for party prizes and confections. The objective of this fun party diversion is to break the pinata and accumulate every one of the treats covered up inside. These pinatas come in each subject comprehensible so you should simply pick one that matches your topic and fill it with well done the children will like. Stickers, transitory tattoos, confections and little amusement prizes work superbly as filling. I like the draw string pinatas. This is a diversion that has strings the children can pull. One of these strings tears the body of the pinata so the treats drop out. At that point everybody tries to assemble every one of the treats they can. You can purchase a force sting model or you can purchase a draw string change unit to influence this children to party amusement exceptionally sheltered. To play you hang your pinata up and daze overlay every kid as they take a turn pulling a string. You can put the visually impaired overlap on, and like with Pin the Tail on the Donkey, turn every youngster and take them off toward the hanging pinata. Educate them concerning what number of steps they have to take and send them off.

04:00pm - Morobe Province has two deputy governors, one duly recognized by a decision of the Lae National court and another appointed by the incumbent Provincial Executive Council.
Morobe Province has two deputy governors, one duly recognized by a decision of the Lae National court and another appointed by the incumbent Provincial Executive Council.
Acting Provincial Administrator Sheila Harou says she is aware of the dual deputy governors in the province.
“Yes I am aware of the court ruling. Government has been advised. We are attending to the issue,” she said.
Former Morobe governor Luther Wenge is questioning the legality of having two deputy governors and an illegitimate administrator without financial and administrative mandate to run the affairs of the province.
Mr Wenge said the legality of the position of the deputy governor relates to a ruling by Justice Ambeng Kandakasi in the Lae National Court that Judas Nalau, the Yabim-Mape LLG President of Finschhafen district remains the president of Yabem-Mape LLG and subsequently the deputy governor for Morobe.
He said the court ruled that the election of Waka Daimon, Watut LLG President as the new deputy governor was null and void and that Mr Nalau be reinstated as the deputy governor.

Clare Cooper Marcus, Professor Emerita at the University of California, Berkeley, in the College of Environmental Design’s Departments of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, has studied and been the grand champion for healthcare and therapeutic gardens since the time of her retirement from UC Berkeley in the 1990s. She taught for 24 years and authored several books, including Healing Gardens: Therapeutic Benefits and Design Recommendations, co-authored with Marni Barnes in 1999, and Therapeutic Landscapes: An Evidence-Based Approach to Designing Healing Gardens and Restorative Outdoor Spaces, co-authored with Naomi Sachs, ASLA, in 2013. Though not a landscape architect, Clare’s interest is in the social aspect of design and in what the people who are using designed spaces think and feel about them. She combines this background with her passion for gardening in her own backyard.
The following interview was conducted at Clare’s home and garden in Berkeley by Lisa Bailey, ASLA, sole proprietor of BayLeaf Studio and a consultant with Schwartz and Associates, a landscape design-build firm in Mill Valley, CA.
How did you become THE person who studied healing gardens?
Well, of course the person who started it all was Roger Ulrich with his famous study, “View through a window may influence recovery from surgery.” Roger is a good friend and colleague and I was inspired by his work. Then Marni Barnes and I conducted the first (I think) post-occupancy evaluations (POEs) of hospital gardens.
I was further motivated when, a few months after retirement, I was diagnosed with cancer. I was treated at the Kaiser Permanente Walnut Creek Medical Center where there is a green space in the center with three ancient 150-year-old Valley Oak trees protected by law. That became an oasis for me during treatment. When people came to visit me, we would walk through the green space on balmy evenings in the summer. It was doubly important to me to have green space when dealing with the stress of a life-threatening illness. It had a very personal meaning.

Emergencies happen fast, and often when we least expect them. Even with today’s latest forecasting technology, we might only have a few days to prepare for a hurricane. A tornado can form and touch the ground in mere minutes, and there is still no proven way to predict an earthquake.
In light of recent events in the nation — Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma — to recent events closer to home — funnel cloud sightings in West Manchester Township — it’s of utmost importance to be prepared for natural disasters. One of the best ways to be prepared is to create a family emergency plan.
Public safety officials may issue wireless emergency alerts directly to your cellphone. These alerts look like text messages, but are designed to get your attention with a unique sound and vibration, both repeated twice. They are no more than 90 characters, include the type of alert (imminent threat, AMBER and presidential) and any action you should take. There is no need to subscribe to these alerts; they are sent out via the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System. This same infrastructure handles the Emergency Alert System you often hear tested via broadcast channels.
In most extreme cases, news outlets will take down paywalls so that anyone can access the information they need in the interest of public safety. This is often a collective decision made by news outlets when it is determined that people are in imminent danger and the information would help to keep them safe. Recently during Hurricane Harvey, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Houston Chronicle and other news outlets in Texas lowered their paywalls for storm-related coverage.
It might seem like common sense, but in southcentral Pennsylvania, we are less likely than folks who live on the west coast to experience a volcano or extreme wildfires. However, we are more likely to experience tropical storms, snowstorms and tornadoes, so it’s best to identify the warning signs of these disasters and plan specifically for them.
A basic disaster supply kit should include enough food, water and other critical supplies to last at least 72 hours (three days) for every person in your home. Make sure not to forget the supplies your pets may need as well. This kit should be kept in a designated location in your home, so that everyone knows where to find it. It should also be easily accessible to grab-and-go should you need to take it with you at the last minute.
Your kit at home is important, but shouldn’t be the only one you make. You should also have a smaller version that can be kept at your workplace to last up to 24 hours. You should also keep a kit in your car should you become stranded.
Remember to update your kit as items may expire or your family needs may change.
Sit down with your family one evening to create a family emergency plan. In the event of an emergency, everyone in your family will know what to do and where to go. When creating the plan, keep in mind medical needs, dietary concerns, pets and any other needs of people within your household. For example, if you have an infant, who will be the infant’s caretaker in the emergency?
Lastly, identify those people within the family who will have cellphone access, and remember texting is best during emergencies. Social media may also be a helpful tool to check in on family members’ safety and locations.
If you’re injured due to someone else’s negligence, contact KBG Injury Law. We’ll fight for the Results You Deserve®.

I have been seeing someone for a while who is very sweet and caring, and who I care about very much. I notice that sometimes he gets either distracted or cold suddenly (even for a moment, sometimes there are times where I think he is either uncomfortable or not having fun and then he keeps referring to that event and what a great time he had - and not in the tweaky/nervous way I associate with lying) and I have addressed it with him, but he consistently tells me that it's unintentional. I'm very affectionate and also hyper-sensitive to the way other people feel, so I may not be perceiving it correctly.
I was telling a friend earlier today that I've decided to accept that he isn't like me and isn't constantly on affection mode, particularly because I don't want him to change, and certainly not for or because of me. My friend responded that she thinks it's suspicious. She also brought up that sometimes I won't hear from him for a day or so and it will hurt my feelings/ego a little, but I don't address this because I think it's both embarrassing and unreasonable to get upset with someone when they have other priorities they are focused on.
There is no question in my mind as to whether or not he cares about me. Until I talk to another girl and she poisons my mind. Am I in denial or is my friend a crazy?
Alright. *puts down briefcase* So what's up with his "cold flashes"?
What I think you're seeing is him dropping his role. Which role, Edahn? The role of the engaged, affectionate boyfriend. It doesn't mean he naturally feels cold towards you; it means that he feels overwhelming pressure to be that person right now. There are a few reasons for that. First, people naturally seek out roles in relationships. Second, he might be clinging to that role because he doesn't trust that he can be himself and maintain a relationship because of his own confidence issues. Third, it sounds like you've been a little needy and he might feel guilty for not acknowledging and responding to all your advances, which are really requests for reassurance. Those advances can be really subtle, and if he needs to respond to each one by summoning emotion, enthusiasm, or interest, you can see how after a while he'll feel exhausted. Fourth, like your friend suggested, it's possible that he's clinging to that role to hide his resentment and frustration with your neediness or with something else. In other words, he's over it.
I can't say which one it is, so I think what you should do is try an experiment. Let him go where ever he needs to go emotionally. Try and reign in the neediness for an evening and just see what happens. When he gets his cold flash, let him be and don't call attention to it which forces him to adjust. He'll probably be distant for a while, but I think he needs to inhabit that mental/emotional space in order to move forward and grow. Which way will he grow?* We'll see. Maybe towards you, maybe away, but it'll be genuine and it'll make sense because it'll come from a tender, genuine place and you'll be okay with it too. Worst case scenario, you gain a little more insight into your own needs and his, which is still pretty good.
*Oh c'mon people! Get your mind out of the gutter!

Another round is done. Got home Friday. It's half time - 3 rounds down, 3 more to go. This round was tougher. I'm sleeping a lot more which I don't really mind because it's a good way to pass the time in the hospital. What's annoying is that Stanford hospital changed their policy, and family members are no longer allowed to stay overnight in the rooms. It's not fun being at the hospital alone at night. I don't really need someone there, but it feels better when someone is there.
The results from the CT I had 3 weeks ago were good. The doctor was very happy. She said the tumor is stable, not growing, and even slightly smaller. She also showed me the scans. She showed me a part in the center of the tumor that is dark which, from what I understood, dead cells. So that's good news, the tumor is dying, and the chemo is working.
I'm more tired during the chemo, and don't feel like doing much. I have started reading some books. The harder part is the mental side, staying mentally strong. I keep thinking of how much more I have left till I can try getting back to 'normal' life. How much time till I can maybe go back to school, and get a job again. Right now there isn't much I can do. I cannot do any sports that I like because of the medical port. I'm stuck at home most of the day, and my days are pretty empty.
I have quite a lot of material, and notes I wrote on paper. Usually what happens when I have too many ideas is that I get overwhelmed, and don't know where to begin. I think I will be able to organize all those thoughts this week, and maybe next week I'll have loads of posts.
I've been drinking a lot of fruit shakes. It's not cheap, but I'm sure maybe body is pleased I'm drinking them than some sodas.
Some things you should know, especially if we see each other often.
Due to my surgeries I have a few limitations that are, perhaps, not so obvious. Limitations that I need my friends and people I hang out with to know, and do their best to remember.
1. I cannot talk loud.
After my last major surgery which was in summer of 2007 my left vocal cord was paralyzed. At first my voice was completely hoarse. I waited about a month, and there was no change, so I went to see a doctor specializing in vocal cord. He injected a substance called collagen to my vocal cord box from the left. The collagen pushed the left vocal cord towards to right cord which made for a better contact. This substance dissolves after a few months, but in my case somehow after a few injections the left cord stabilized in the center. Still, in summer of 2009 I decided to have a surgery where the doctor implanted something small to keep the left vocal cord close to the right.
So I'm able to talk and be heard, but not in every situation. If we are hanging out and the music is on loudly, either lower the volume a lot, or don't ask me any questions from the other side of the room. I prefer you show some understanding, and lower the volume so that I can make myself heard over the music. When the music is loud chances are that even if you're standing right next to me I won't be able to make myself heard.
Packed bars on the weekends are a problem too. Yes it's hard for everyone to talk, but it's impossible for me, impossible. Packed loud restaurants are also an issue. If you're sitting next to me or across me it should be fine. Even a hangout with more than 4 people could be a problem especially if it is with people who love to talk and hear their voice. A good argument between a few people will be hard for me to jump in on. Try been more attentive. Remember I'm there, and cannot raise my voice over others if I want to jump in and add something to the conversation.
2. It's hard to swallow.
This got much worse after that surgery in the summer of 2007. I had a swallowing test. They make you swallow a few types of liquid and solid food, and they use an x-ray machine to see how well the liquid and food go down the throat. Seeing the results, I was advised to turn my head left and a bit down to help with the swallowing. If we are eating out, or having some BBQ, don't get weird out by this, I'm just trying to swallow.
What you should try to remember is that since it is hard for me to swallow it takes me longer to eat. I have to remember to cut my food smaller, and chew longer. So if you're trying to estimate or plan the night, remember that dinner would take a bit longer. Also, sometimes I swallow to quickly. What I usually have to do is cough the food back up so that I can chew it a bit more. It rarely gets to a point where I have to spit my food out. You probably won't notice me coughing up my food unless you are watching me eating the whole time. Try to save face, and don't get gross by this.
If we order a shared dish, probably an appetizer, try not to be too rude, and leave me my share. What I might feel like doing (perhaps if I had some bad experiences with you) is take some of the dish to my plate. Please don't give me attitude, and remember I need to chew longer than you. By the way, everyone should take their time and chew longer. Researches say it is a healthier way of eating. Plus you will enjoy your food more if you take your time and really take in every bite.
Water. If there is a jug of water on the table, or some other soft drink, please do not give me attitude if I fill my glass all the way up, and by that finish what was left in the jug without offering some to someone else. Sometimes I feel like I might need the extra water to help me swallow down the food. It's better than me chocking, and making a scene right?!
3. I don't hear well on my left ear.
This is nothing new, but I feel like it has gotten worse. Could be that I'm just more aware of it now. The nerve itself is ok, it just that the ear canal is blocked because of the shape of my ear, and the sound doesn't get through well enough to the eardrum.
If we are walking on the street, try to walk to my right. If we are sitting somewhere, anywhere, sit to my right. Don't even think of trying to whisper in my left ear. This hearing problem gets worse when I'm eating. Especially food like potato chips and similar food that cracks and makes lots of noise in your mouth. If you are talking to me, and I'm not responding please don't get offended, I'm not ignoring you, I'm not that kind of a person. Try taping my shoulder or waving your hand right in front of me like an idiot to get my attention (don't worry I won't think you are an idiot, unless you really are...). I also have ADD, so just make sure I'm aware you are talking to me. You could be right next to me, especially if you are on my left, and I won't be responding. Again, I'm not ignoring you, I'm just not hearing you (well the correct term would be listening), and that is due to medical reasons.
4. My left eye doesn't blink.
The whole left side of my face is paralyzed. When it comes to my left eye, it won't blink, maybe a little, but not all the way down. As a result, single tears come out sometimes. When your eye blinks it is kind of similar to when you swallow the saliva your body produces. The blinking is like the swallowing. So if you see a tear coming out from my left eye, don't be alarmed, I'm not crying. Unless it was something you said, but probably not. I almost never let what people say to me offended me. Yes, I'm an emotional guy. I could spare some tears if I'm watching an emotional movie, or a sportsman I like cry after winning some tournament like Bubba Watson did when he won the green jacket at the masters this year (what a shot on that 10th hole aye?). But if you see a single tear coming out of my left eye to say hello, don't worry just hand me a tissue.
I've moved to a new apartment this week, so it took me longer than I wanted to finish this second part, but here it is. Ok, hmmm, where to begin?!
Fruits part 2. As I said in the part 1, I meant to talk about some of the fruits from back home that I miss. My memory isn't that good, I cannot remember a specific day where I went for a stroll, and picked some of my favorite fruits from some of the trees. Perhaps it is because there were countless such days. Maybe as I write things will come up to me, but this part 2 might be filled with facts about these fruits.
Let's begin with the fruit that I believe most of you will recognize, and that is the GUAVA. Now I bet most of you have heard about pink/red guava juice. When I say guava, I'm talking about the white guava fruit. Guava originated in Mexico, Central America, and the northern part of South America. Nowadays you can find it everywhere. It has a pear like shape. Like many fruits guava is green when immature, and turns yellow when ripe (why would they call it white guava then?!). I like to pick off the guavas just before they turn completely yellow. Once the guava is yellow you have about a day maybe two to eat it. After that the guava becomes too mushy, and probably already went bad. The size of the guava varies greatly between trees, and even on the same tree it could vary pretty good. Some trees can give fruits of 5 inches long (12.7 cm), but I think the average guava is more like 3 inches (7.6 cm).
just on the verge of been too yellow for me.
eat a guava this way, I just bite into it.
Huh, I'm a little embarrassed to say I cannot remember the guava's unique taste, or maybe just don't know how to describe it. I remember that sometimes the taste would stay with me for a few hours. I also remember that I ate a lot of guavas. There was a nice sized white guava tree close to my house. It was at about 15 feet tall (4.6 meters). It also spread out nicely to the sides making a nice round shape. This tree was strong, healthy, and would give lots of fruits. This guava tree had lots of branches, and was very climbable. I remember climbing pretty high up there on this tree. Maybe 10 feet high. I believe I was about the age of 11-12 years old at the time.
Back home in the kibbutz, we have lots of trees with all types of fruits. I've been here in the US for almost 10 years now, and there are some fruits I really miss. Fruits that I cannot find here in the supermarkets though I haven't yet tried farmers markets. I think I've seen an actual guava fruit in supermarkets near me, but they looked different from what I know. What I haven't seen is, I present to you, the one and only, the PIIIIIIIITAAAAAAAANGAAAAA! Or just PITANGA. Pitanga is also know as Surinam Cherry.
I don't think I've ever seen Pitanga in supermarkets. I don't think anyone of my friends here have ever tried it, or even heard of it. I also don't recall seeing Pitanga in supermarkets back home. Maybe it isn't well known in Israel either? And I just know it because we had a few trees in the kibbutz? Pitanga is a small less than an inch long, and has a roundish shape. When fully ripe it has a purple color, but I like it more just before it turns purple, and has a red color. When the Pitanga is red, it has a sour taste with a hint of sweetness. When it is purplish it is the other way around, sweet and a bit sour.
There used to be a nice tree right outside the electrician shop back home (last I saw it didn't look too well). Pitanga isn't a big tree. I think it varies between a bush and a small tree. This one tree had lots of branches, and I think was about 8-9 feet tall (I'm guessing). It wasn't climbable like the Guava tree I was telling you about, but there was still a nice place on the tree to put your foot in to get up about 2-3 feet. I ate many Pitangas at that tree. I would also scan the tree to see which ones will be ripe in a day or two. The Pitanga, by the way, originated in South America. I would love to have some PITANGA in my hand right now.
big seeds for such a small fruit.
a third of the entire Pitanga.
The next fruit is the BLACK MULBERRY. Black Mulberry looks like black berry, but it is a bit longer (about 1/4 inch), and not as wide. The only tree I remember of Black Mulberry from back home was at one of my ima's best friends' house. It is hard to tell from here, and I wasn't there for a long time, but I think that tree is about 15 feet high (they go up to 30 feet which is about 9 meters). It has a nice round shape enough to park a car under it which gives a nice shade. I can't remember if I liked the black mulberry when fully ripe or just before. I think I used to like it just before, and then one day I started liking it more when fully ripe, when it's color... yup was black or maybe dark purple. I have a vague memory of eating white mulberry, but I'm not sure where. And indeed there are a few species of mulberry. Hey! This fruits is not native to South America. The BLACK MULBERRY is native to East China.
Let's finish this post already. The last fruit is the LOQUAT. It's another fruit originated in China. This one in Southeastern. I actually see a lot of Loquat trees where I live, but I don't think people know you can eat it. I love loquat, and I was lucky on my last visit to Israel to be there in season. I have a tree back home that I planted about 15 years ago. I ate some loquat off my neighbors' tree, and I took the seeds from the ones that tasted good. Then I planted them in my ima's garden. I'm not sure if it made much of a difference, but the fruits this tree gives are very good. This tree is very tall I think about 15 feet (yeah I guess they all look the same height to me), and it is a shame because you cannot get to so many of its' fruits. I get about half way up with a ladder. On this last trip I probably ate over 100 loquat. The taste of the loquat is sweet. It is green when unripe, and turns orange when ripe. I sometimes will pick off the loquat when yellow. It is a bit sour then, but I prefer it when fully ripe. When it is fully ripe it has an orange color, and tastes sweet. The size can get up to about 2 inches long and about an inch inch and half wide. Here are some pictures of the LOQUAT.

So that's about it from the fruits I grew up on. A short reminder, if you are in the San Jose next weekend my NF family and I would love to see you at the 2nd annual San Jose NF walk. You can register here. If you cannot make it, it is ok, maybe you can help me with my fundraiser. The money will go towards research to find a cure for NF. Click here to go to my fundraiser page. THANK YOU!!
I love fruits. What are some of those fruits?
Yellow peach. They have this amazing sweet sourish taste. What's a little annoying with peaches is that you never know if they'll be good. Often, at least in my area, I get bad peaches. When I go to the store I buy 1-2 peaches that feel ready to eat, and a few more that need a few days to soften. Sometimes they taste great, sweet sourish taste, just perfect. Sometimes it is easy to cut them in half, and take out the seed. Other times the seed breaks in half, or won't come out. I do like white peaches as well, but much rather have yellow ones. The white ones don't have that sourish taste.
I like red grapes. They have to be seedless. The seeds are bitter, and ruin the sweetness of the grapes. The ones I buy also have a little touch of sourish taste to them. Growing up I used to only like green grapes. I think the green grapes back home are very different from the ones here. Or maybe my taste changed a little, that's definitely a possibility. I also really like a sister to these two fruits - nectarine.
Clementine. I love clementines. Of course they must be seedless. Having seeds ruins it for me. Instead of focusing on each slice's taste, I have to focus on catching the seeds, and spitting them out. With clementines like peaches you also never know. Often I get clementines that are dry, and/or tasteless.
Berries. Straw - cannot get enough of them. If you didn't know, they grow on the ground, so don't be lazy, wash them extra well, and extra long. Blue - I just recently started eating them. I think the main reason I started eating them is because of how everyone are saying how good they are the body, and all of the healthy benefits it gives. Rasp - I used to eat them a lot. Very recently I kind of got tried of them. I'm, however, putting them in fruit shakes which I drink a lot of these days.
Watermelon, both green and orange melons (if they are actually ready - meaning they are soft all the way out), kiwi, pear, and you know what I'm gonna say corn. But only a corn on a cob boiled a few minutes in water. It is debatable whether corn is a vegetable, fruits, or a grain. I think it is all 3. Corn from a can is a vegetable, corn on a cob would be a fruit, and you have the those dry corn seeds which you can use for popcorn.
There is one fruits, that most people, if not everyone but me seem to like, and that is mango. I don't know what is it. Everyone seems to love mango, it is probably a favorite of many. But I don't like mango. I think it might be something in the texture of the mango. And I think there is some bitterness in the mango that throws me off. I don't know, I just don't get the taste of mango.
Recently I've been eating lots and lots of corn. The white corn, not the yellow. The white usually comes out sweet, and not as thick as the yellow one. As a kid I loved corn. The closet city to the kibbutz was about 15 minutes from my house. There was a guy there with a corn stand. He always had this patch (no, not black like a pirate) on his eye. I think it was the left. All he had was this small cart maybe 4 feet long. And at times he would get busy. The line would be of maybe 10 people I think. He has in business for years. For years he was there, at the same corner, selling hot fresh corn. I cannot remember exactly what corner it was, but I think if I'll take a walk in that street I will be able to tell. I think at some stage in life I stopped eating corn on a cob. I didn't like it when pieces of corn would get stuck in my teeth. But I like the white corn enough to just eat it without worrying about those little annoying pieces. I just take a toothpick afterwards, and pick out those corn pieces.
Ohhh wow, I meant to talk about some exotic fruits that I would eat a lot of as a child back home. Exotic fruits that I cannot find here, and miss very much. I wanted to start just by saying some of the fruits I like that I can find here, and somehow I got carried a way, and said a lot more. Instead of continuing about these awesome exotic fruits, I'm going to break this post into two pieces. I need to find pictures of these exotic fruits that I can put in my blog, and I don't want to use pictures without permission. These next three pictures are mine though. Mmmmmm, I wish I had some from the third picture right now.

I can't believe I'm still awake at this hour. My fiance and I watched a movie online, and then after I started feeling sick. I don't know if it was the rainbow trout that I made for dinner... I haven't tried it since I've had gastric bypass surgery, but I don't think I will try it again... seems to have caused dumping syndrome. I also feel like I could have a panic attack... just not feeling right. It's probably been all the extra stress that I've had to deal with the past week, with having to basically clear my apartment for the pest control company to come spray. Damn bed bugs are in the building, and it's been a real headache and nightmare to prep for the fumigation. It makes me paranoid, and I've been doing so much cleaning and laundry. Everything has been boxed in plastic containers, it looks like I'm moving!
With the craziness in my apartment right now, I haven't been able to weigh myself. Yes, I cleaned and packed my scale away. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, as I have a bad habit of stepping on it daily.
Well, I think I should try and catch a little Zzz's, as I have three more garbage bags of laundry to do in the morning. Good night all.

The president of Elections Cameroon (ELecam) Samuel Fonkam Azu’u has said only those with voter’s card will be allowed to vote on Election Day as he moved to clear the air at a press briefing he held in Bamenda on August 5, on certain misunderstanding concerning voting with or without voter’s card in the upcoming election.
“There is apparently some misgivings about the decision of the Director General of Elections organizing pooling stations, I thought people from reading and interpreting it came out with the view that there is an alternative, you can vote either with you voters card or with the national ID card. That is not the case, I think this message is clear and it’s unambiguous” he said, throwing more light on the decision of Mohaman Sani Tanimou of 22 July to lay down the organization of polling stations.
Citing section 103 sub 1 and 2 of the electoral code, Fonkam Azu’u said the law is very clear to the latter, and only those with their voter’s card are permitted under the law to vote, while those without it may be allowed to vote if the local voting commission decide to allowed such a person to vote under certain conditions like, have withdrawn and lost voter’s card but present certificate of lost and so on.
Mr. Fonkam also announced that the 17 members of the electoral board on the field in their various regions to assess the rate of voter’s card distribution, to ascertain the availability of non perishable voter’s materials like ballot boxes, polling booths, to verify the putting in place of divisional and council area supervisory commissions, the appointment of chairpersons of polling stations amongst others.
He further urged the public to retrieve their voter’s card.
He also announced that 23 lists of political parties were rejected and later affirmed by the Supreme Court following the strict application of the law by Elecam. Those that were readmitted by the Supreme Court were not because Elecam failed but simply because it was only the Supreme Court that had the powers to readmit the list.
The Elecam boss also frowned at some members of the press on their negative reports, trying to divert public attention towards personal issues surrounding board members. He called for objective reporting on issues and not on individuals.
He rounded up by reiterating that the president of Elecam is head of the body and not otherwise.
Sorry Mr Azu,you are the shadow head of elecam while,the director generat,has the yam and the knive.There's nothing you can do about this,other than rambling and quoting the laws.The cpdm bigwigs will no doubt exploit this situation,creat many ghost voters,issue them fake receipt and certifictes of lost an ask them to go vote,and your elecam will do nothing about this, since your are the same birds.

Grick, Jenkins, and I went to this restaurant on our last morning in Xi’an before we headed to the airport. My parents weren’t hungry so they didn’t join us and our tour guide recommended this place because it was very popular with the locals and was very close to our hotel. When we entered the restaurant at around 11AM, it was pretty empty but it was packed with people by the time we left (around 12).
It was quite the ordeal for us to order on our own. There was a lot of broken Mandarin, pointing at pictures, and general gesturing. We started first with some bean thread noodles with mushrooms and pork. This was quite oily but still very tasty. The noodles had a nice and chewy consistency. When done correctly like this, bean thread noodles are one of my favourite types of noodles.
Next, we had some braised pork. We actually thought from the picture that this would look like the Shanghainese version of this braised pork but it actually tasted quite different. The sauce was slightly tangy and went very well with rice. Even though the pork looked fatty, it was actually a bit on the dry side. The sauce also went very well with rice.
For some reason, our last dish took quite a while to come. It was a very spicy chicken dish that probably would have gone very well with rice. Unfortunately, we ate all our rice with the pork. You have to be able to take spicy stuff though because our mouths were burning by the time we were done with this.
This restaurant was definitely one of the better ones we went to in Xi’an as evidenced by the packed tables. And best yet, the total cost for this meal was less than $11 for the three of us.

And from the ashes of our self-despair, Kindles a flame of hope and humble trust.
As discouraging as pain can be—so discouraging you can feel your face on the cold, unyielding floor—God has His face on the floor next to you. It’s what Immanuel means: God with us. God with you.
Lord, I pray with David, “You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great.” (Psalm 18:35). How moving, how humbling, to know You stoop down to be near me in my need.

The drop is expected to go into effect before the end of the month.
In the coming says, mostly likely before the end of the month, the price of gasoline will drop ¢25 colones for a liter of super; ¢28 for a liter of regular; and ¢20 for diesel fuel.
On Friday, the Autoridad Reguladora de los Servicios Públicos (Aresep) – government regulator of public prices and services, approved the decrease, which now requires the publication in La Gaceta (within five working days) before they can effect (the following day after publication).
According to the Aresep statement to the press, the adjustment is due to an excess inventory of both crude oil and finished products the U.S. market.
In addition, the regulator added, China has increased exports of refined products and this has an impact on the prices.
Costa Rica’s oil refinery, the Refinadora Costarricense de Petróleo (Recope), imports finished products for distribution to gasoline stations the country and that the fixed price by the Aresep.
Once the lower prices go into effect, the cost of a liter of super at the pumps will be ¢597 (current price is ¢622); regular will be ¢569; and diesel will be ¢450.

Every year, I eagerly await the Gathering. It is the one week of the year that is completely mine. I immerse myself in my workshop, music, worship, afternoon naps, and pleasure reading. It is my time for nurture and renewal.
For a number of years now, I have found myself struggling to feel as much nurture and renewal as I need. It has nothing to do with the structure of the week, the FGC and university staff, or the Gathering Committee, of which I have been a part several times. My struggles are created by thoughtless, rude, or intrusive comments made to me by people I do not know.
Friends, those of us who have “dis‐abilities” are much more than our crutches, our wheelchairs, our cervical collars, our oxygen tanks, or any other outward manifestation. Please do not make assumptions.
Think before you speak. Even well‐meaning questions can feel intrusive, so listen carefully to the responses, and don’t push. What may seem like harmless chitchat to you could be very hurtful to the recipient.
Of course, this conversation seems absurd. You are turned into an object and merely seen as a blue shirt rather than a feeling, thinking human being. The person is not interacting with a shirt; they are interacting with you. A conversation like this feels rude and insensitive.
Think about it. Why would someone who uses a medical device want to be treated any differently than you do? They do not. They too wish to be approached respectfully. They do not want to be seen as a blue shirt any more than you do, but often they are.
It can take a lot of physical, emotional, and spiritual energy to live with a chronic health problem. Frequently, what the world sees is not indicative of what is really going on. In my case, my cervical collar does not mean whiplash. It is the outward sign of a serious illness that has drastically changed my life. Not only did I have to change careers, but I also deal with the balance between pain and heavy‐duty medication. I have had periods when it has been difficult to walk. In time, I may be crippled by my condition. I do not share this to gain pity; I am merely trying to illustrate how my outward appearance does not represent what I actually experience. When I am pushed to share by people who feel more voyeuristic than sympathetic, it brings up a lot of emotions—emotions that are difficult and personal.
Friends, please respect people’s need for privacy. Do not assume they are eager or willing to talk about things that might be very personal or painful. People who are already hurting do not need to be further hurt in an environment in which they expect to receive nurture. It is not always taboo to ask about medical problems. However, if you wish to do so, it needs to be done gently after trust and rapport have been established. And, if a person is not in a place to talk, that needs to be respected.

At the 2019 Transplantation Medicine Summer School, participants can expect to learn about the latest and greatest innovations in the field of transplantation medicine. This summer school will be filled with presentations by world-leading doctors in the field of transplantation from the University of Groningen itself, as well as from our partner schools located in South America as well as within Europe. Special transplant patients present at the summer school will also share their own experiences as a transplant donor, or recipient, to give us an even greater understanding of whats at stake in transplanation. In addition, a live donor-nephrectomy and kidney transplant operation will be displayed during the summer school, which is a great insight into what exactly goes on during transplantation. For the duration of summer school, we will get into the nitty gritty of transplantation medicine with focus on the current advancements, and new research that has been undertaken. Students will also gather together in small groups to complete transplantation-medicine related assignments that are based on the presentations and other miscallaneous events throughout the day to further consolidate their understanding of the matters at hand. Our summer school functions to stimulate students’ interest in research from an early stage and to give students the opportunity to discuss their research findings with others while also encouraging contact between themselves and transplantation medicine specialists at our summer school.
With all this being said, the 2019 Transplantation Medicine Summer School definitely won’t be all work and no play. We have organized a plethora of fun and interactive activities for our staff and students before, during and after the summer school! To begin our summer school, we will hold a cooking workshop where we will prepare dishes from all around the world together in groups. This bonding exercise is the perfect kick-off to the summer school, where everyone can get to know and learn about one another. Of course we will also have a great dinner after with all of the food we’ve made. Have you ever sailed before? We here in the Netherlands love to sail! In part due to the fact that there are so many bodies of water here, but also because it is such a fun activity that we’d love to share with you all. You will all have the opportunity to experience sailing and maybe even learn how to sail. Mix this in with some physical activity breaks between lectures, team games, and our infamous pub quiz, and the 2019 Transplantation Summer School will be something you will never forget!
To introduce medically educated students to the various aspects of solid organ transplantation with focus on the limitations/complications we are facing today.
Collaboratively find ways to understand/tackle these problems through clinical and scientific research.
The format of a Medical Sciences School is based on the intense interaction between students and the speakers.
A variety of lectures will be given by experts in the field of transplantation medicine. Furthermore, transplant recipients will contribute by giving lectures or interviews to illustrate the view of the patient. Also, examples of the challenges of organ transplantation will be collectively discussed, hence stressing the need for improvement of patient care as a whole.

LUTZ — Late at night, while most of the tenants at Compark 75 are gone for the day, Suite 107 fills up with the aroma of Cincinnati-style chili. Other nights, it could be vanilla with hints of lemon and lavender as hundreds of individual creme brulees bake in a warm bath.
Or during the day, it could be the garlicky brine of a local dill pickle vendor, or the pungent ghost peppers of a hot sauce aficionado.

A Kildare TD has once again raised the need for a new secondary school in Kildare South in a meeting with Education Minister Richard Bruton last week.
“On his visit to Kildare last June the Minister confirmed that the need for new secondary school places in Kildare South was again under review. We remain one of the fastest growing population areas in the country per the last census and this growth will ensure demand for places in secondary schools will continue to increase in the coming years," said Dep Martin Heydon.
“I understand the Department of Education are considering a number of options to deal with this increased growth but I emphasised to the Minister that a new school building in the Newbridge/Kildare area is still the preferred option for parents in Kildare South. I would hope that this review will be fully completed by the end of October."
He said after four years of campaigning, the Department have still not accepted the need for a full stand alone new school to meet this increased demand.
“Another option that I raised in the past has been a new school build for the Curragh Post Primary School. Discussions about a possible partnership model are ongoing between South Kildare Educate Together (SKET) and St. Conleth’s Secondary School in Newbridge. I have previously stated that a partnership between Educate Together and the KWETB at the Curragh would be a much better fit," he added.

The newly minted electric bike company hits it out of the park with its bonkers new prototype.
A few days ago we shared some highlights of winners for the 2018 Quail Motorcycle Gathering. While dozens of gorgeous classic bikes took home awards—including some really special vintage electric vehicles—there was one surprisingly modern bike at the Quail this year that caught everyone's attention. That bike was the 2020 Curtiss Motorcycles’ “Zeus”, a machine that definitely deserves a closer look.
Curtiss’s debut electric model, the Zeus, is an elite two-wheeler that shares a lot of visual DNA with its Confederate predecessors. The top-shelf scoot utilizes a machined billet aluminum chassis that employs bolted members in favor of welding. The front end uses Racetech internals in a double-wishbone design layout while in back the swingarm uses a concentric pivot point with the electric mill’s driveshaft. The Zeus also boasts an iPad/tablet dash mounted unit, LED lighting throughout, and coolest off all, see-through panels to reveal the electric powerplant components from Zero. The prototype also comes with Beringer brakes, BST wheels (wrapped in Pirelli rubber), and lighting the way is an SW Speaker headlight.
The the heart of the Zeus is a powertrain that was born out of a partnership between Zero Motorcycles and Curtiss. Using existing Zero motors, the team at Curtiss developed what it calls it “E-Twin” platform that consist of a dual Zero mills fed into a single output shaft. This reportedly allows for around twice the horsepower and torque normally offered on a Zero, with the Zeus putting down a reported 290 foot-pounds of torque—always on tap mind you—and 170 horsepower. Human motorcycle encyclopedia and all around awesome guy Paul d’orleans called the Zeus “Probably one of the most powerful motorcycles, besides a Boss Hoss. That’s got to be one of the most powerful electric motorcycles ever built!” after coming face to face with the Zeus at the 2018 Quail.
Curtis is currently using a 14.4kWh battery pack, but according to the company the afformentoned kWh figure should increase before the Zeus is scheduled for its 2020 release. It is still a concept at this point, but the prototype reveals the general flavor of the final product. Plus even a watered down version of a Curtiss bike is still pretty damn stylish.

Chamber of Commerce officials will use a one-time, matching grant to ignite programs designed to broaden the city's appeal to new businesses and keep the ones already here.
The City Council awarded a $37,500 grant during the Feb. 28 meeting that will be used to market businesses in specific districts of the city, create a database of available commercial properties for prospective businesses, replace outdated technology and update its electrical system to meet city codes.
"The net effect will be more businesses opening in Laguna Beach and better retention of existing businesses already in our community," said Councilwoman Elizabeth Pearson, co-sponsor of the grant along with Councilwoman Toni Iseman.
Chamber officials proposed piggybacking on the concept of districts such as the ones created by the city and the Visitors & Conference Bureau as a vehicle for marketing. The chamber would assist each district by coordinating branding and marketing.
The chamber has been blamed in the past for promoting only downtown businesses, according to Pearson. She said focus groups will be created to expand the chamber's efforts.
"Our technology is like using baling wire and bubble gum," said Kristine Thalman, the chamber's executive director.
The grant is not intended for use in espousing candidates in the upcoming election.
"If it is used for political purposes, it would be a violation of the spirit of the grant," Iseman said.
The chamber has dabbled in politics in the past, when businesswoman Cayenne Bird led an attempt to recall City Council members.
"We are not going to have a [political action committee]" said recently installed board President Michael Kinsman. "Legally, we could, but it would split the membership. We won't support candidates, but we will present a candidates forum."
Kinsman also announced that the chamber had eliminated its nonprofit foundation because no money was raised for it or by it for three years.

The challenge of witnessing to diversity and inclusion requires the Church to relinquish some of its presence in education and to identify the role the Church will play in the future, according to Most Rev. Diarmuid Martin Archbishop of Dublin in the Edmund Rice Commemoration homily this weekend.
Archbishop Martin was speaking at the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the Presentation Brothers and of the Christian Brothers to the Archdiocese of Dublin. In his homily at Saint Agatha’s Church, Dublin, on Saturday (19th January), said that Edmund Rice was a friend of the poor, and saw that the inherited poverty of so many young children in the Ireland was lack of access to education. Edmund Rice was determined to respond to that need.
“Within one generation the sons and daughters of the poor received through Catholic education a personal enrichment which enabled them to enhance their own personal lives, their family life and the life of society. Education coupled with a vision of honesty, hard work and solidarity changed the lives of generations and paved the path of the future development of Ireland,” said Archbishop Martin.
He added that although Rice was a comparatively wealthy man he opted for poverty and he and his followers opted for a style of “austere evangelical poverty” so that others would to be enriched. Christian Brothers School came at minimal cost to the society that benefitted from it.
The Archbishop said that he has listened to stories of children whose experience in schools and institutions run by the brothers saddened him, but he had also heard stories which were precisely the opposite.

I was very lucky to be given a Silhouette Cameo by a friend earlier this year - she'd decided she didn't want it any more and offered it on Facebook, and as I love card making I jumped at the chance, even though I didn't really know what it was!
Silhouette America is a company that makes various die cutting machines but unlike my Sizzix Big Shot cutter which I wrote about here, they are electronic. And rather than using metal dies which you have to purchase, you can create your own designs, or download ones other people have designed, sometimes free of charge and sometimes not - though most only seem to cost 65p. That sounds a lot cheaper than spending £10 on a die, doesn't it? The part I haven't mentioned is that the Silhouette Cameo machine which I've got cost £250 - which is why I felt so lucky to receive it!
I thought I'd already blogged about something I'd made using the Silhouette but don't believe so. I got it out to use for another project, which I'm not going to write about yet as it's a birthday gift for a friend later this month, and while I was there I decided to do a few other things.
Once you have the software for the Silhouette loaded, it's really easy to go into the (small) library of free designs (though there is an extra free design every week) or into the store where you can look up any design or shape. I wanted a sailboat for my other project which cost me 65p to download, and since I'd done that I decided to use the same template again (you only pay once, to download it) to cut out a few more boats, and use one to make a card.
Here you can see the screen on my laptop, where I've placed and re-sized the different templates I'm using onto an A4 sheet. One thing I like is that you can copy and paste and cut out more than one diecut from the same template at the same time, which you can't do with the manual cutter (though the manual cutter is quicker!).
Here you can see the Silhouette Cameo machine - it looks like a printer but is narrower. You feed in the piece of card you want to cut, stuck onto the sticky backing paper which keeps it in the right place. When it's done you peel it off - you can see here one boat has been cut out; I reused this sheet the other way around for the designs above.
It's great to be able to cut words in different fonts. You can write your own words which I have done and will blog about separately but it's trickier as you have to make sure all the letters are joined to each other!
For the other project I keep mentioning I had bought some sailing themed backing papers from Ebay - a pack called Sail Away by First Edition. I used one page from this, showing a wave design, as the backing paper on a large A5 card. I also cut a circle using the Silhouette and as the boat was patterned - a triangle design that reminded me of flags and therefore sailing - I mounted the boat on a plain blue circle.
I'd cut the words 'happy birthday' out of the same patterned flag paper but realised this wasn't going to show up on the patterned background, so I mounted it on blue paper and cut around that. I like the effect it gives - rather than flags it now looks to me a little more like rope which is also linked to the sailing theme.
I'm sharing this with Cardz for Guyz as their theme this week is methods of transport.
You were GIVEN a Silhouette? I'm in total awe! I'm still in the manual machine age, although now I've graduated to a Grand Calibur I can cut a whole A4 sheet worth of dies at a time if I need to. You are making great use of it with lovely cards like this and it's great to see you joining in at Cardz 4 Guyz.
I know, she wouldn't take any money for it but at the time I didn't really know what it was or how much it was worth!
You lucky thing!! A really great card - that backing paper is perfect.

My discussion with Ryan Littman-Quinn closely followed my conversation with Dr. Kovarik. The two have worked together on many projects, and yet I was able to take away many different lessons from this discussion.
First, a quick background on Ryan. He went to Boston College for undergrad where he studied business with a minor in philosophy. He found himself interested in advertising and marketing. Not wanting to go down a path already traversed, he turned down traditional marketing positions and reached out to the start-up Click Diagnostics, and was able to convince them that he could help them with their logo design, among other marketing tasks.
From there, he was able to pivot to global health work within the company, and took a risk by moving to Africa to learn more about mHealth. His early work and the lessons he learned helped make him one of the go-to mHealth experts in global health, leading him to work with the Botswana-UPenn partnership. Currently, he is able to balance this work with another company, Peak Vision, which is leveraging mHealth software and hardware to bring much needed vision care to underserved communities.
It’s not unusual for someone to cold call trying to get a job. What’s rare, though, is actually landing that job. Ryan was able to successfully impress Click Diagnostics because he was able to demonstrate his value and skills by framing them in terms of what Click Diagnostics needed. Dale Carnegie in his famous book “How to Win Friends and Influence People” says that you must “talk in terms of the other person’s interest.” It shows guts and that you’ve taken an interest in the company by knowing what they are currently doing well, and how they can improve.
Though Ryan’s skills were mostly in marketing, he was given a rare opportunity to go abroad and develop a newer skill set. It would have been easy for him to stick with what he knew, but he saw that mHealth was a new and exciting field that he wanted to learn more about. It helps that he was young and free to travel without feeling tied down to any one place. Once you’re on the medical path – either in school or residency, it may seem impossible to pick up and try something completely new like this. I fervently disagree!
Med school is probably the very best time to go abroad or learn a new skill set. It may feel like your days are too busy, but if you pursue clinical practice, they certainly won’t free up any time soon. Also keep in mind that opportunities will often come your way once you become established – but taking a chance on something new isn’t always easy. Check out the episode with Dr. Debbie Kelly for another great example of this. I’m sure when Ryan first googled Botswana and told himself he could make it there, he didn’t foresee himself becoming the “mHealth guy”. Yet here he is.
It’s a fallacy we all fall for – detectives on Law and Order solve intriguing murder cases, doctors on Grey’s Anatomy average 3 saved-lives per hour, Dr. House gets to tackle the most challenging medical mysteries the human body has ever presented. Further, it’s easy to believe that by working with Peak Vision and the Botswana-UPenn partnership, Ryan’s days are full of meaningful patient interactions, and he can hit the pillow at night, knowing he has brought vision to thousands of people in need.
While the job can certainly be fulfilling, it’s important to always remember to pull back the curtain and see the “unsexy” side of things. Developing and overseeing mHealth projects includes a lot of planning, desk work, emails, and inevitable crisis management when your mobile devices bum-out on launch-day. It’s a good lesson for any line of work – especially clinical practice. You may have heard the sentiment that you need to be able to handle the monotony of any clinical field, because that’s what you’ll likely be dealing with most of your time. It’s no different for every other type of job.
One of the many reasons why we wanted to start Penn Health-X, the podcast, and this blog is that while medical education prepares us to be excellent researchers and clinicians – and more recently how to work on teams and be humane healers – it doesn’t teach us business skills, principles of management, and about various cultures across the globe. Ryan insisted that no matter how much you learn in the classroom, you will never be fully ready to start an mHealth project in an unfamiliar country.
Though this can be unsettling, the beauty is that you learn on the job. Only through putting yourself out there and jumping with both feet can you grow and develop particular skill sets. Learning in the classroom is crucial for laying a foundation of knowledge, but I am especially guilty of using it as a crutch – after all, it’ comfortable to sit in a lecture room and digest material at your own pace, and far more uneasy to be grilled by an attending in the wards, and having to talk to patients face to face. Yet the clinical year, and the first year of residency are unanimously considered the years where you truly start to become a doctor and not just a roided-up biology major. The value in ideas and knowledge is in using them (thanks Thomas Edison, probably..) – so get out there and show us what you’ve got!

Cemex has transformed itself from Mexico’s largest cement company into the world’s third-largest cement maker through a series of major acquisitions. If it is able to bag Australia’s Rinker Group, Cemex will become one of the world’s largest building materials companies.
In October 2006 the Mexican company announced a $12.8 billion takeover offer for Rinker, which generates more than 80% of its revenues in the US market. Rinker rejected the offer as being far too low, but Cemex says Rinker’s estimate of its own worth does not account for the slowdown in the US housing market.
Lorenzo Zambrano, chairman and CEO of Cemex, says Rinker complements the Mexican company’s existing US operations and would extend its global network into Australia. Cemex is also interested in Rinker’s four plants in China.
Cemex says the residential housing market in the US is declining faster than expected as a result of falling new-home sales and high inventory levels. It says that the infrastructure and the industrial and commercial sectors continue to be the main drivers of cement consumption in the US.

Near Boulder Colorado an ambitious demonstration project began in 2010 that has changed the game for energy-efficient greenhouses. Dr. Michael Stiles was part of a team that evaluated the energy performance of a “green” greenhouse originated by Dr. Laurence Kinney of Synergistic Building Technologies (SBT).
The entries on this web page cover the history and exposition of the “green” greenhouse. The design is not proprietary but does require an architect for implementation in most cases. Questions, comments, and inquiries are welcomed and can be directed to Mike Stiles at mstiles@LS-energy.com or at (518) 383-9405 x 219.
But first, a brief overview. The Colorado prototype requires only sunlight as fuel for growing summertime crops in the winter.

Such has been the mindblowing dimension of change in China, which, in turn, shakes the very foundations of the world’s economic and geopolitical order. Incredible, but true. I suggest a visit to North Korea (a country to which I have been accredited with residence in Beijing) to understand what has happened in China. That’s how China looked forty years ago; today, Beijing or Shanghai are much closer to Paris or New York than to Pyongyang.

The push to develop and deploy EMRs, combined with the need for more detailed documentation, has forced EM and HM providers to spend extra time during patient visits capturing and entering data rather than focusing on the patient — a problem that can have an adverse impact on the quality of patient care.
One solution: the use of medical scribes.
According to the American Health Information Management Association, a medical scribe captures "accurate and detailed documentation … of the encounter in a timely manner." Typically, scribes follow the physician during rounds gathering, documenting, and entering information into the EMR at the doctor’s direction.
In keeping with its focus on innovation, SCP is piloting a timely alternative to the traditional model: the Virtual Scribe or "V-scribe" program.
This post explains the concept, how it works, and the benefits it can accrue in an EM or HM setting.
The Virtual Scribe program, initially developed by HPPartners, is a tool for our providers that improves documentation, expedites patient throughput, and enhances the patient experience. It eases the task of EMR documentation, allowing the physician to spend more time with more patients.
The program goes beyond just documenting the patient-provider encounter, however, but assists the provider in real-time, enabling him to deliver essential patient care in a more personal and efficient manner.
To begin the process, the physician calls the Virtual Scribe phone number before seeing the patient. He (the provider) is equipped with a light wireless earpiece connected to a land-line phone. The scribe then accesses the medical record for the patient remotely and waits for the physician to begin his visit. The scribe is virtually present during the interaction, taking notes and documenting the HPI, ROS, PMSFHx, and PE on the EMR.
Once the encounter is over, the scribe prompts the physician for any missing information. The physician and the scribe are continuously connected, allowing him to move from patient to patient without stopping at the computer station to document.
When the provider has completed his rounds, he can place orders, review labs and results, or assess a given patient’s charts and dispositions. The scribe monitors for returned labs and results and then prompts the provider as soon as they are ready for review.
Informing the physician of outstanding or pending tasks.
Virtual scribe services improve documentation, untying providers from the computer. As a result, doctors can spend more time at the bedside, see more patients, and increase productivity, which can lead to improved patient satisfaction.
Describing the physical exam to the patient clearly and discussing treatments and results allows the virtual scribe to capture all the pertinent findings required for appropriate documentation and coding. More importantly, it allows the patient to feel involved in the treatment plan.
By reducing the time providers have to spend at the computer documenting the patient encounter, enabling them to spend more time addressing the patient’s needs, the pilot Virtual Scribe program could serve to advance SCP’s mission of continuously improving quality health care to all patients, without a doubt.
In an era when governmental regulations tie reimbursement to the quality of patient care, any service that improves patient satisfaction is certainly welcomed.
