It’s all about relationship, or “guanxi.” In China, business comes with relationship while in the U.S., relationship comes with business.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Andy Yip moved to Seattle in 1995 with his family to further his education. After his graduation from the University of Washington, he was recruited by Prudential Financial to lead a diversity effort in the Pacific Northwest. In 2007, the office that was under his leadership became the number one office for US operation at Prudential Financial.
In 2008, Andy saw the opportunity and became an independent adviser with Raymond James Financial Services on Mercer Island, with a focus on wealth management. He and his business partner later started an affiliate firm, Rainier Estate Planning International, to focus on estate planning, wealth replacement and transfer. In additional to his career focused on finance, Andy has also started multiple ventures to pursue his interests.
Andy lives in Bellevue, WA with his wife Elizabeth, his son Kaden, and daughter Kaylee. He enjoys civic services and building communities during his free time, and holds leadership positions in various Asian American communities. Currently, he is the President of HKAW http://www.hkaw.org/v3/ (Hong Kong Association of Washington).
Q: Please tell us about your career path.
A: Born in Hong Kong, I moved to Seattle in 1995 with my family to further my education. From 2001 to 2004, I studied Economics/Financial at the University of Washington, and have been engaged in financial work since then.
I was recruited by Prudential Financial to lead a diversity effort in the Pacific Northwest. From 2008 till now, I have been a financial advisor.
In my spare time, I take leadership roles in several nonprofit organizations in Washington State, including President of HKAW, Executive Advisor and former President of NAAAP (National Association of Asian American Professionals) Seattle chapter, Acting Board President of International Examiner and Interim Executive Director of International Community Health Services Foundation. I hope to contribute to the Asian community through dedicating myself to these nonprofits.
Q: What does HKAW do?
A: HKAW aims to make connections within the U.S., Mainland China and Hong Kong by engaging both business and social activities to enrich people’s lives. HKAW serves as a bridge to connect business professionals in Seattle with business resources and network opportunities.
We have many activities every year. For example, every other month, we have seminars or a business lunch to network and exchange business information. We just had our annual gala, attracting more than 900 guests from all walks of life. We also attracted some premium brands to be our sponsors, such as Aston Martin and Ferrari, who provided a test drive and headquarters tour as bidding items. This reflected the value of HKAW as a high-end networking platform.
From June to August 2012, partnering with University of Washington’s Global Business Center, HKAW launched a six-session forum called “The Road to Success in China” to educate business owners on how to now only survive but also thrive in the Chinese market. We invited 6 guest speakers from various industries including law, business, marketing, taxation and so on.
Topics included the different ways a company can be formed in China; how to find the right partners in China and maintain the relationship; accounting and compliance; export opportunity to China; Hong Kong as an international hub for trading in China; and cross-border financing, investing and cash flow. Eighteen companies have participated the forum.
Q: What exciting projects is HKAW engaged in?
A: Besides “The Road to Success in China,” HKAW invited some export traders to Walla Walla last October to taste the wine and promote the wine trading opportunity. Chinese people are beginning to have the habit of drinking red wine. Washington ranks second in the U.S. in the production of wine, behind California. Since Hong Kong abolished tax on alcohol, some wine traders hope to export more wines to Hong Kong and mainland China. After our activity, two wine traders successfully exported 12,000 cases of wine to China last year.
Q: How has being located in Washington State benefited your business?
A: Seattle is the closest U.S. location to China and there are direct flights from Seattle to Beijing on Hainan and Delta airlines. It’s good for business.
Besides, there is huge room for development of import and export businesses in Washington State. For instance, there are export opportunities in agriculture, including apples, cherries and grain; wine exports (currently, most of the sales of Washington wine go to the domestic market and there is a huge development opportunity here); and the export opportunity for medical equipment.
Q: How would you explain the importance of HKAW and its role in the Bellevue/Seattle community?
A: HKAW is a platform for information exchange and business networking. It’s for all the people who are interested in business opportunities between the U.S, mainland China and Hong Kong, not just for people from Hong Kong. For example, in our recent biggest-ever gala, more than 900 guests participated, one-third of whom were Americans. Ours association connects the Chinese community with the mainstream American society, promoting the east-west communication.
Q: Do you see any obstacles to doing business in China?
A: It’s all about relationship, or “guanxi.” In China, business comes with relationship while in the U.S., relationship comes with business.
I advise that U.S. companies should be oriented to the needs of local customers, develop relationships with local partners, learn about Chinese culture and understand the difference between the two giant countries.
Q: What advice do you have for Chinese people about how to do business successfully in the Bellevue/Seattle region?
A: Chinese people look for a lawyer after they are in trouble; however, in the U.S., we find a lawyer at first to help us deal with the potential troubles such as taxation.
Q: What are your favorite aspects of living/working in Bellevue?
A: I have been living in Bellevue for a long time. I graduated from Newport High School and lived in Newcastle for four years. After my first child was born, my family moved to Bellevue Somerset. Bellevue has high quality of living, convenient shopping centers and well-connected transportation. I believe Bellevue will be getting better and better in the next ten years!

The Professor (full name: The Professor: Improv Inspired by Doctor Who) is a narrative improv troupe that presents improv in the style of the British science-fiction franchise Doctor Who.
While identical in concept to Doctor Who, the shows performed by The Professor don't occupy the exact same universe as Doctor Who. The central character is "The Professor", and no mention is made of specific Whoniverse villains.
In the first two seasons, no scenes ever occurred in TARDIS. Onstage, the exit of the TARDIS was represented by a free-standing blue door. In season two, this door could flip around to a non-blue side, and thus become a non-TARDIS door on the set.
Typically, one actor plays the Professor for a contiguous run of shows, with different actors playing (pre-determined) "companion" characters (or, in rare cases, pairs of companions) from week to week.
Prior to the founding of the troupe, the idea of "Improvised Doctor Who" had long been floating around in the improv community. In June 2011, Justin Bozied posted a Facebook status inviting all interested parties to join him for an improv take on Doctor Who. The Professor then premiered at The Hideout Theatre on Thursday, June 23, 2011 as part of The Threefer, and played an 8pm show at the Hideout two days later.
At the end of 2012, Justin Bozied stepped down as director. At the start of 2013, Michael Ferstenfeld took over as director, and the troupe resumed performing one-off shows like The TV Set. For their third run in late 2013, Ferstenfeld incorporated scene-painting, the interior of the T.A.R.D.I.S., voice modulation, and homemade robots, drawing more influence from "classic" Doctor Who, 1963-1989, the years preceding Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat.
Jordan T. Maxwell as the First Professor.
The first two test shows in June 2011 featured Jordan T. Maxwell as the First Professor.
Michael Ferstenfeld as the Second Professor.

In this frisky world, where things move at digital warp speed, customer expectations are raising day by day and because of this businesses are feeling ruthless pressure to keep up. But now a bold new wave of IoT technology optimize the environment for the future and helping businesses to serve their clients more adroitly.
Environmental monitoring, smart metering, renewable plants supervision, and inventory intelligence are among the top areas IoT can deliver the most value for in 2018.
Here are three ways this rethinking has created a revolution in the marketplace.
“Platform as a Service” is a cloud-based service used to collect and analyze data, and where payment is oriented toward services rather than physical goods. It leverages the IoT to monitor practices with sensors that collect data and also track the product’s performance in real time.
Rolls Royce is one of the best company that excels at Platform as a Service with the help of its TotalCare program. The model used in its engine is known as “power by the hour” and it is charged on a fixed dollar-per-flying-hour basis. The company determinedly manages the engine to accomplish highest flying availability by saving the on fuel costs and reduces environmental impact since the collected data, and the associated analytics, keep engines running at peak efficiency.
What makes this possible? For Peloton, it begins with the base product, which retails for roughly $2,000 and is a high-end, indoor bicycle rigged with a Wi-Fi-enabled, 22-inch touchscreen tablet. But that’s not where the cyclical action if you will, is in terms of revenue. Peloton also streams live and on-demand classes, which at-home users can connect to via Peloton’s servers.
Internet of Thing increased the level of customization unimaginably, businesses can now manufacture customized products, without keeping an inventory. IoT sensors and Machine vision generate measurements and specs implemented through additive manufacturing techniques.
With AI, a mobile app developer can utilize machine learning to add new features in while developing mobile application and can make suggested changes over time.
Internet of things holds a great future for businesses, because of this, smart devices have become convoluted into our lives. IoT is important to sense and collect data from connected devices, and then share that data across the internet where it can be processed and utilized for various purposes and decisions. With IoT, businesses can increase their productivity and its benefits are endless, so without wasting your time hire extremely talented mobile app developers.

Vacations are simply the best. But with all the excitement in planning and waiting for the big day, don’t let anxiety over traveling with a child get you down. Here are some tips and tricks to have a more enjoyable trip.
01// Create a Similar Bed Time Routine. This is so important for planning what and what not to pack up. Your child needs to wind down after a hectic day and get focused for bedtime. Children thrive on routine and if you have similar rituals when you are away, they will respond to going to sleep quicker.
02// Bring Familiar Crib Associations with you. Does your child have something that they must have to fall asleep? Favorite Toy? Sleep Sack? Familiar Crib Sheet? Make sure you don’t forget these nighttime staples at home. It will make it easier for your child to relax into a nighttime slumber.
03// Create a Similar Bed Time Environment. Try and duplicate the same environment as your home. This may require you to improvise so be creative. Need to make it darker? Try draping an extra towel over the window. To much or not enough noise? Perhaps put him next to a fan or download a white noise app on your phone and run it all night. How’s the temperature? Maybe tonight your little one will sleep in their diaper.
04// Search out child accessories before you go. This is becoming quite popular these days. If you know your child doesn’t love the pack in play to sleep in, consider doing a quick web search and you will find a company that will rent all sorts of child related gear. This may be worth not having the hassle of carrying awkward size cribs or simply to save on space in the vehicle. Some companies even deliver!
05// If you are really uneasy about the new sleep space, do a trial run! This is so important. If you are organized enough, take a night or two to see how he will sleep in a new crib, pack and play, stroller, or car seat – do it! You might learn something new about your child you never knew before.
06// Enjoy! Some vacations may be a once in a life experience. It’s okay if you don’t sneak in every nap or get to bed on time (but it is important to try to keep that as consistent if possible). Just remember, you’ll eventually go home and you will have a consistent routine soon enough – so until then, have fun!
These sleep concerns can be quite scary if you are the lucky few who get to experience them. They are routinely confused with nightmares but I am here to tell you that these two sleep issues are distinctly different.
Nightmares are your typical “I had a bad dream”. Your child may wake up scared, wanting a parent to comfort them and can usually recall the vivid images they just encountered. Typically this happens in the early hours of the morning. Night terrors are completely different.
You may notice that night terrors will usually occur within two to three hours of going to sleep. This is when your child will begin to switch sleep cycles and their body “stalls” during the non rem sleep cycle. During this transition, you may hear your infant suddenly scream at the top of their lungs, stomp around their crib or room or be down right inconsolable. You may also notice sweat residue on their clothes, their heart racing and eyes wide open. This behavior may last anywhere from 5-15 minutes – occasionally it lasts longer. Night terrors make your child have this erratic behavior but the truth is that they are really still asleep and will have no memory of this in the morning. You may notice that boys portray these tactics more often than girls, as it has been scientifically noted to be more popular in the male populations. If you happen to experience some of these behaviors you are among the lucky 5% of the families.
Sometimes sleep terrors can be predictable if you child is sleep deprived or has disturbances in his/hers sleep. If some children become stressed, unwell or have sleep apnea, there is a good chance they are experiencing night terrors as opposed to nightmares.
I always get this question from parents asking what to do if they experience such an event and the short answer is nothing, you can only try to prevent them. When your child experiences a night terror, most importantly is to make sure they are safe. You do not need to talk to them or touch them as you may scare them if they come out of a night terror while you are doing this. This is similar to people who sleep walk. To help prevent these episodes you can try to put your child to bed a bit earlier at night. This may even be 15-30 minutes prior to their typical bedtime. If your child still needs a daily nap, try to fit that in – even on the busiest of days. If this is a routine occurrence in your house and you can pin point when this will happen during the night, you may want to wake them up and take them to the washroom. This will help them before transitioning into the next sleep cycle and help reset their nighttime sleep. It also might be in your interest to look into the gadget “Lully – The Sleep Guarding”. This is a device that wakes a child prior to entering the troubled sleep cycle which has raving reviews by many professionals.

In STO scenario we are sending material from mfg plant to Depots, Sales area defined for STO 1001,20,PP where till now we have used only one pricing procedure in Delivery(NL) & Billing (F8), but due to business requirement we want maintain different pricing procedure for different divisions (02,03,04,05). But due to sales are are same we are not able to determine different pricing procedure in delivery. Plz advice how I can achieve this.
here document pricing procedure is for the sales document type here you can use delivery document type procedure,which is an indicator i believe is in the document type configuration.
I already done pricing procedure for delivery type. My requirement is how i use multiple pricing procedure for one delivery type for STO where I can only use one sale area in SPRO.
As Mohit tells you, the pricing procedure is detemined by: "Sales Area + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing". If you need detemine it with division I suggest you other way. Set a verification in customer (for instance, with enhancement SAPMF02D) where the pair customer pricing procedure / division must be in a combination that you can store in a custom table (z-table) with the fields customer pricing procedure / division.

Marcel Lajos Breuer was born in Fünfkirchen in Austria-Hungary on May 21, 1902. When he was still quite young, Marcel Breuer tried his hand at studying at the “Academy of Fine Arts” in Vienna. But he abandoned his studies after less than a year and started an apprenticeship at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany. Already at the age of 21 he met Walter Gropius and worked for his studio on the project “Haus Sommerfeld” (the Summerfield house).
However, several years later, Marcel Breuer got into an argument with the Bauhaus: in 1926/27 Breuer founded the company „Standard Möbel“ but the rights to his designs, which he produced as a young master at the Bauhaus from 1925 on, were not clarified. Among those designs were classics like the „Stahlrohrsessel B5“ (steel tube armchair B5). The dispute became known under the name “Breuerkrise” (Breuer crisis), but thanks to his good contacts to Walter Gropius, the young designer was able to end the argument in 1927. This enabled the presentation of the famous “ Stahlclubsessel B3” (steel club armchair B3) which is still known as the „Wassily Chair“ in the same year.
His good contacts to Walter Gropius should help Marcel Breuer again in the following years: In 1928 Breuer first cancelled his post as a young master at the Bauhaus in Dessau and then, shortly afterwards, his partnership with „Standard Möbel“. He sold his rights and opened an architect’s office in Berlin. However, Breuer never was a qualified architect and therefore the „Bund Deutscher Architekten BDA“ (the Professional Association of German Architects) refused to admit him. Breuer got almost no jobs and therefore had to fight his way through by doing small renovations and furniture designs. It was only in 1931 that Marcel Breuer was admitted to the BDA, after Walter Gropius had spoken up for Breuer again.
Marcel Breuer died in New York City on July 1, 1981.

Nitric oxide (NO), produced by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone. Endothelium-derived NO exerts vasoprotective effects by suppressing platelet aggregation, leukocyte adhesion and smooth muscle cell proliferation. The E298D polymorphic variant of eNOS has been associated with myocardial infarction (MI), but data relating to this variant are divergent in Greece. Accordingly, we examined a possible association between the E298D polymorphism of the eNOS gene and MI in a subgroup of the Greek population.
The study population consisted of 204 patients with a history of MI and 218 control subjects. All subjects were of Greek origin and were selected from the general population of the greater Athens area. Genotyping was performed with melting curve analysis (Lightcycler system) of polymerase chain reaction amplified products using hybridization probes.
According to the univariate findings, the risk for MI in E298D TT was 2.06 (95%CI: 1.06-4.00, p = 0.032) versus GG+GT and 2.34 (95%CI: 1.17-4.68, p = 0.016) versus GG. The risk for the T allele was estimated at 1.42 (95%CI, 1.06-1.89, p = 0.022) as compared to G allele. Regarding the additive model, one allele increase was associated with 43% higher risk of MI (OR = 1.43, 95%CI: 1.07-1.93, p = 0.018) as compared to the baseline category of homozygous GG. The positive association of TT versus GG+GT with MI risk remained even after adjusting for the main study covariates. Moreover, strong evidence was found for an increased risk for MI among carriers of the TT genotype who were smokers, hypertensive and had a family history of CAD.
This study indicates that E298D polymorphism of the eNOS gene seems to be associated with MI occurrence in the Greek population. It is possible that TT genotype is closely linked to the etiology of MI even after adjusting for known MI risk factors.
Nitric oxide (NO), the endothelium-derived relaxing factor, is synthesized from L-arginine by at least three isoforms of the Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) (inducible NOS, iNOS or NOS2, constitutive neuronal NOS, nNOS or NOS1 and constitutive endothelial NOS, eNOS or NOS3). Nitric oxide, produced by eNOS, diffuses from the endothelium to vascular smooth muscle cells, where it increases the concentration of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) by stimulating soluble guanylate cyclase, leading to vascular relaxation .
Endothelium-derived NO plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone and displays vasoprotective effects by scavenging superoxide radicals  and suppressing platelet aggregation , leukocyte adhesion  and smooth muscle cell proliferation . These actions suggest that endothelial NO may have an important atheroprotective role. Thus, an alteration in the activity of the vascular NO system could contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and thrombosis.
The gene encoding eNOS is located on chromosome 7q35-36 and contains 26 exons that span 21 kb . The common polymorphism G894T in exon 7 of the eNOS gene results in the substitution of glutamic acid (E) at codon 298 by aspartic acid (D) (E298D). This is the only known polymorphism changing the eNOS protein sequence, leading to speculation that genetic variation at this site may alter e-NOS activity or regulation and possibly leads to endothelial dysfunction and to pathogenesis of several cardiovascular diseases .
The 298D variant has been associated with myocardial infarction (MI) in Japanese [8, 9], English , German  and American  populations, whereas other studies do not support these findings in Koreans [13, 14] and in Caucasians, i.e. Austrian  French-Nothern Irish  and Dutch  populations. In Greece studies of the E298D polymorphism had controversial results [18–20]. Accordingly, it was the aim of the present study to investigate in a subgroup of the Greek population whether the E298D gene variation was related to the risk of myocardial infarction in the total population and among subjects who were at lower or higher risk of this disease.
A total of 422 subjects of Greek origin were prospectively enrolled in the study. Among them, 204 patients, diagnosed with an Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) or Non ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) were compared to 218 control subjects.
The 204 patients with MI admitted to the 1st Department of Cardiology, Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center Athens, Greece from October 2007 to April 2008. Diagnosis of AMI and NSTEMI was made by chest symptoms, electrocardiographic changes and serum creatinine kinase-MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) elevations according to guidelines .
The control group consisted of 218 volunteers who were selected from the general population of the greater Athens area. Controls were not eligible to participate if they had a history of MI or angina, clinical evidence of coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke, or any atherosclerotic disease in the past, based on a detailed medical history and a physical examination followed by a normal electrocardiogram.
All subjects provided written informed consent and the study was approved by the hospital ethics committee. Subjects were evaluated with a detailed questionnaire that provided information on coronary risk factors, namely smoking, family history of CAD, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia. Patients who used to smoke more than eight cigarettes per day for more than one year were considered to be smokers (current or ex-smokers). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated in all participants.
MI patients and controls were matched by gender and age ± five years. Controlling for basic socio-demographic characteristics in the statistical analysis, minimized further the consequences of potential confounding by those variables.
Hypertension was defined by a history of several blood pressure measurements with elevation of either systolic (> 140 mmHg) or diastolic (> 90 mmHg) blood pressure. Diabetes mellitus was defined by elevated blood glucose levels after fasting: (> 126 mg/dL) or 2 h after 75 g of oral glucose loading (> 200 mg/dL), or by anti-diabetic drug. Hypercholesterolemia was defined by elevated total serum cholesterol levels (> 200 mg/dL).
Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes using standard methods (Micromix 660 DNA extraction kit, Talent, Italy). Purified DNA (concentration of 60 μg/ml) was stored at -20°C. The E298D polymorphism was determined by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction analysis using the LightCycler 480 Instrument (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). The published probes  were found to fail to detect homozygous TT samples. Thus, novel oligonucleotide primers and probes were designed and validated by TIB-MOLBIOL, Berlin, Germany. The kit contains control DNA (human eNOS 298D mutant [mt], wild type [wt], heterozygous [hetero], 105 target equivalents per reaction). PCR primers 5'-AAggCAggAgACAgTggATggA and 5'-TgCTCCAggggCACCTCAAg and the probes CCAgATgATCCCCTAgAACTC--FL (T allele specific base underlined) and 640-CCTTCTgCCCCCCgAgCTggTCC--PH contained in the LightMix kit eNOS (TIB MOLBIOL, Berlin, Germany) were used in combination with the LightCycler 480 Genotyping Master and 96 well plates (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany), following the instructions of the manufacturer. The tests were run with 5 μl (0.3 μg) sample DNA in a final volume of 20 μl; control DNA (human eNOS 298D [mt], [wt], [hetero]) was diluted 1:4. Each PCR run contained a negative (no template) control. To confirm reproducibility, mutation analysis of 9 random samples (3 wt/wt, 3 wt/mt and 3 mt/mt) was performed 10 times each.
The probes are designed to match with the T allele, thus reporting a lower melting temperature (Tm) for the wild type G allele. Distinction of wild type, mutant and heterozygous genotype can be easily accomplished by their respective melting temperatures.
After 10 min denaturation at 95°C the amplification was performed running 45 cycles 5 s at 95°C, 10 s at 60°C and 15 s at 72°C, following the instructions of the LightMix kit. The melting program included three steps: denaturalization at 95°C for 30 s, renaturation at 40°C for 1 min and then slowly raised to 80°C to allow monitoring of the decline of fluorescence generated by melting of the hybrids, as a function of temperature. Melting curves were automatically converted to fluorescence peaks with the LightCycler 480 Instrument analysis software, allowing the distinction of genotypes. The grouping software uses a curve shape-matching algorithm to identify wild type from mutant samples and cut-offs are based on variability from the wild type curve. The results were confirmed for homozygous mutant, homozygous wild type and heterozygous samples in all repeated measurements.
Body mass index (BMI) was regarded as continuous variable, while age, gender, kind of genotype, and presence of all coronary risk factors (smoking, family history of CAD, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia) were considered nominal variables. Initially, t test for continuous data and χ2 for categorical data were used to assess the differences in socio-demographic and medical history factors between cases and controls. Genotype frequencies of E298D polymorphism were compared in the two groups of participants with Fisher's exact test. To study the univariate association of MI with the eNOS genotype we modeled the data through logistic regression analysis (crude odds ratios); the relevant p-values derived from Wald test for dominant and recessive models and Armitage test for trend for additive model. Subsequently, a multivariate analysis was performed to estimate the risk of MI for TT versus GT+GG after adjustment for a series of possible risk factors and confounders (adjusted odds ratios). Results were accepted as statistically significant when two-tailed p-values were less than 0.05. The SAS statistical package (Version 9.1, SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC) was used in all analyses whereas power calculation was performed on QUANTO.
Setting minor allele frequency (MAF) at 0.3, expected odds ratio from 1.5 to 2.5 (univariate odds ratio for the relationship between TT/GG+GT and the risk for MI), alpha 0.05 and power 80%, on QUANTO, mode of inheritance seems to result in an odds ratio of at least 2.3.
Table 1 shows the distribution of 204 cases with MI and 218 controls by socio-demographic and clinical characteristics. Regarding age and gender, no significant differences were identified between cases and controls (p = 0.580 and p = 0.658 respectively). The mean BMI was significantly higher in cases as compared to controls (p = 0.028). The prevalence of atherogenic risk factors such as smoking, family history of CAD, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia was significantly higher in the patient group.
Table 2 presents the distribution of genotypes GG, GT and TT in the two groups of participants. The frequencies of the eNOS GG genotype were 40.7% and 49.5%, of heterozygous GT 46.1% and 43.6% and of homozygous TT 13.2% and 6.9% among cases and controls respectively. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.046). Concerning the allele frequencies of the E298 to D transition in the MI and control group were calculated at 36.3% and 28.7% respectively (p = 0.019).
In the univariate analyses of the data (Table 3), TT homozygous, compared with the group of homozygous and heterozygous individuals GG+GT (recessive model), were at higher risk for MI (OR = 2.06, 95%CI = 1.06-4.00, p = 0.032). Even if TT homozygous were compared with E298 homozygous GG alone, they were still more likely to develop MI (OR = 2.34, 95%CI: 1.17-4.68, p = 0.016). We found no statistical significant evidence for a protective effect against the risk for MI among homozygous GG as compared to heterozygous GT (p = 0.220), whereas when comparing them to GT+TT (dominant model) the result was not significant (p = 0.068). According to the additive model, one allele increase was associated with 43% higher risk of MI (OR = 1.43, 95%CI: 1.07-1.93, p = 0.018) as compared to the baseline category of homozygous GG.
Based on the univariate findings suggesting an increased risk for TT homozygous and the idea that the recessive model of inheritance seems to be more appropriate than dominant or additive for the needs of such a research , we further performed multivariate analyses in order to examine the relation of MI with a series of available parameters. Due to the presence of mutual confounding, correlation or interaction, it was not possible to examine all the study covariates simultaneously. Several alternative statistical models are performed and presented in Table 4. In all these models, homozygous TT as compared to GT+GG were found to be at statistically significant higher risk for developing MI with the estimated odds ratios ranging from 2.04 to 2.89. Gender does not seem to be associated with the risk for MI, whereas the effect of age is unclear. There was some evidence that increasing BMI increases the risk for MI, but the results were at the borderline of statistical significance. Lastly, strong evidence was found for statistically significant, positive association of MI with smoking, family history of CAD and hypertension. The small cell frequencies of diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia did not allow us to include these two variables in the multivariate analyses.
We performed a case-control study of the common E298D polymorphism of the eNOS gene. Similarly to recent studies [8–11, 13, 17–20], we found a significant association between homozygous carriers of the T allele and the occurrence of MI in the Greek population. The risk of developing MI was found to be about two-fold higher for 298D (homozygous carriers of the T allele) as compared with individuals carrying the wild type E298 allele, either heterozygous (GT) or homozygous (GG) (p = 0.032). Lack of an increased risk of MI in the eNOS GT heterozygous suggests that the risk of MI posed by the eNOS T allele is not dominantly expressed and that the increased risk is confined to eNOS TT homozygous. This finding confirms previous presumptions of a recessive gene effect. Patients who are homozygous for the E298D polymorphism are genetically predisposed to MI (Table 3). The results of the present study are in accordance with the findings of a recent meta-analysis of the Glu298Asp polymorphism, including 14 studies with 6036 IHD cases and 6106 controls. According to this meta-analysis, the summary OR under a fixed-effect model showed that individuals homozygous for the Asp298 allele were 1.31 times more likely to develop ischemic heart disease (95% CI, 1.13 to 1.51; p = 0.0003) whereas the dominant model showed a non-significant association between carriers of ≥1 Asp298 allele and the risk of ischemic heart disease (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.97 to 1.15; p = 0.21) .
MI is a multifactorial disease. Further genetic and environmental risk factors, such as age, gender, BMI, smoking habits and family history as well as accompanying disorders like high blood pressure and hypercholesterolemia contribute significantly to the susceptibility of MI.
The homozygous T allele carriers, as suggested by the univariate analysis of the present study, have an increased risk to develop MI. We performed a multivariate analysis to examine the additive influence of age, gender, BMI, smoking habits and family history to the TT genotype. The increased risk of the TT gene remains even if we add the variables smoking, hypertension and family history. BMI seems to tentatively elevate MI risk, while gender seems to be unrelated to MI. Data from a recent study confirmed that predominantly younger T allele carriers of the eNOS E298D gene polymorphism with various coronary high-risk profiles have an increased risk to suffer MI . Taking into account that the cardiovascular disease is a multicausal process and since other than genetic risk factors develop in the course of life, genetic factors are more likely to affect young rather than old people and may contribute to many different mechanisms leading to atherosclerotic lesions [24, 25]. Nevertheless, our study does not confirm those findings since the role of age remained unclear.
The association between eNOS E298D polymorphism and MI is strongly affected by cigarette smoking. In a previous study it was demonstrated that the variant 298D allele is particularly associated with significantly lower endothelial-dependent vasodilation in smokers, with no significant effect in non-smokers . We observed that the combination of smoking and 298D allele further increased OR for MI, suggesting that there is a gene-environment interaction. Smokers, eNOS TT homozygous have greater risk of MI than eNOS GT heterozygous and GG homozygous smokers. These data, possibly suggest, that presence of established underlying endothelial dysfunction, as observed among cigarette smokers, may be necessary for this polymorphism to attenuate endothelial function and predispose patients to increased cardiovascular risk. The impact of smoking, however, in females could not be demonstrated. It has been reported that the development of endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis in premenopausal females may follow a different pattern than in men, probably due to estrogen-mediated protection of the endothelium .
The results of the present study strongly suggest that eNOS gene may be a risk factor for MI. Although the mechanism by which E298D polymorphism confers susceptibility to MI is not clear, several studies have described a possible role of NO in the pathogenesis of MI and suggest that endothelial NO may have an important atheroprotective role beyond its effect on vessel tone and blood pressure [27, 28]. This study suggests that an alteration in the activity of the vascular NO system and the decreased amount of endothelial NO, due to the E298D mutation, may promote atherosclerosis and thrombosis that lead to MI. However, the relation of the E298D mutation to the severity of coronary atherosclerosis has not been proven yet . Impaired effects of NO on the cardiovascular system lead to dysregulation of vascular tone, platelet aggregation and leukocyte adhesion and smooth muscle cell proliferation, all of which promote coronary atherosclerosis and thrombosis .
Two previous studies showed a significant association between the 298D allele and the risk of MI in the Greek population [18, 19]. A third study by Andrikopoulos et al  failed to demonstrate such an association.
This study adds to the gradually developing consensus that E298D polymorphism of the eNOS gene seems to be associated with MI occurrence. It is possible that TT is closely linked to the etiology of MI even after adjusting for known MI risk factors. The underlying mechanisms are still speculative but it appears that further studies are needed to explore whether E298D polymorphism is an independent risk factor or an indirect marker of different genetic and environmental factors.
No case control study is immune to criticism concerning case and control selection and the present one is no exception. However, the identification in the present study of most established risk factors for MI indicates that possible selection and information biases were not important enough to challenge the validity of the results. We have no reason to believe that cases were not representative of people suffering MI in the country. However, because of the overall low frequency of TT (15 subjects with TT genotype in the control group and 27 in the case group), the results should be viewed with caution. Notably, given the expected low frequency of TT in the general population, this type of studies face practical difficulties in achieving high number of participants. Further studies could provide an insight into the role of E298D polymorphism of the eNOS gene in the MI occurrence.
This study indicates that E298D polymorphism of the eNOS gene seems to be associated with MI occurrence in the Greek population. We found evidence that homozygous TT is positively related to the risk of MI and this association is independent of possible effects of other known MI risk factors. Smokers, hypertensive and those with a family history of CAD are more likely to develop MI.

Blogging can be a really great way to build your brand online and generate traffic and leads for your primary business. One particular aspect which is often overlooked by novice bloggers is that when writing a blog article, you not only want to write content for your readers, but you also want to write for the search engine as well. In this short article, I want to provide six search engine optimization tips when writing your blog content.
Using these search engine optimization tips when writing your blog post will help sites such as Google and Bing to determine what your niche site is all about. Think of the search engines as traffic cops. Using SEO practices helps the search engines determine which direction or SERP (Search Engine Results Page) your content will be displayed. Your goal, if you’re into SEO is to get on the first page of Google.
Many experienced bloggers know of these search engine optimization tips, but this article is geared moreso to the begginner and/or uninformed experienced blogger that are considering implementing SEO into their blog content.
You would be surprised on how many internet marketers there are who are making money hand over fist by utilizing search engine optimization. Believe or not, if you become really proficient in learning and implementing it, you can generate traffic and leads for your business basically on auto-pilot. The search engine will do the work for you in terms of getting your content ranked on the first page which allows maximum online exposure.
Let’s delve into some of these search engine optimization tips so you can start implementing them in your blog articles. Keep in mind that SEO isn’t necessary for you to make money online, but it helps to speed up the process in making money especially with a monetized blog.
Content – Having genuine, quality content is the overarching concept or backbone of making money blogging. The clique, Content Is King rings true when blogging online. This isn’t really a tip, but it’s the foundation each blogger should aspire to do.
Keywords – One of the most important search engine optimization tips needed for bloggers is picking a keyword or key phrase for your content. Your keyword needs to be relevant with little to no competition. You want to keep your keywords density to no more than 2%, which is rougly once every 100 words within your post. Google and Bing frown upon keyword stuffing which is having multiple instances of your keyword throughout your artice. Keyword stuffed posts are also hard to read, which may discourage your readers. Another good thing to do is bold your first instance of your keyword. This makes it easier for Google to see your content, because the keyword stands out.
Post Length – A good rule of thumb for this search engine optimization tip is to write articles that are at least 300 words in length. Search engines don’t like content that is too short, they may not believe there is enough relevant content to rank you.
Formatted Headings – Of the various search engine optimization tips, this one is not necessary, but it also helps when the search engines are crawling your site. Make use of the H1 and H2 header tags.
Don’t place your blog content in multiple categories – As a begginner blogger, I would always place my articles in various categories within my blog. This is a no-no as search engines may see this a duplicate content, which could hurt your chances of ranking in Google. Stick to choosing only one category.
Meta Robot Tag – Did you know you can set your blog articles to be indexed and followed by the search engines or indexed and not followed. Your robot meta tag allows you to set whether you want the search engine to index and follow the article when someone clicks on it. I currently have a WordPress plugin that does this for me. I can set my page to be index/followed, noindex/follow, index/nofollow, or noindex/nofollow. This is set by preference.
These six search engine optimization tips are really good for bloggers to implement. By using these techniques will help you in achieving the first page on the major search engines. On-page search engine optimization is a really great way to get your blog noticed by search engines and will dramatically increase your traffic and leads. If you should have anymore search engine optimization tips that you would like to share, please leave a comment here on the blog.

We have all experienced a little dizziness. Did you know that a key component of our balance system is our ears? The American Speech Hearing Association gives us a breakdown of how it all works.
The balance system or vestibular system helps us stay upright when standing and grounds us in relation to gravity. The vestibular system allows us to judge speed and direction of moment, see clearly while moving and it helps us adjust physically to maintain stability. These functions are triggered through signals to your brain sent from the eyes, inner ear and sensory systems of the body, such as muscles and joints.
The inner ear contains three canals that house fluid and sensory hair cells. Each canal has a specific movement it handles – up and down, side to side and tilting. With each movement our body makes the fluid travels over the sensory hair cells which ultimately send nerve impulses to the brain.
The inner ear not only sends information to the brain about movement of the body and head, but also information about head position when there is no movement. Two special organs called the saccule and utricle communicate horizontal and vertical positions of the head to the brain.
Medication, illness and inflammations can affect how our vestibular system operates. Natural aging can also ultimately lead to some balance issues. Everyday easy movements, such as getting out of bed, walking in the dark or even the transition from walking on sidewalk to grass, can actually be very difficult. A prolonged balance issue can even affect your concentration and memory.
Treatment options vary and sometimes your hearing care professional and medical doctor will work together to determine the course. Having good balance is important to quality in life, so it’s important to make an appointment with a professional if you are experiencing a problem.

The Acad�mie fran�aise (French Academy) is a learned body founded in 1570, when King Charles IX granted the charter of an "academy of Music and Poetry" to the poet Antoine de Ba�f and a musician named Gourville, who named it the Acad�mie fran�aise. The Acad�mie functioned informally until February 10, 1635, when Armand-Jean Cardinal Richelieu (minister of Louis XIII) formalised it into a national academy for the literati, and limited the number of its members. In anticipation of this most of the first members were named during 1634.
The Acad�mie is the French official authority on the usages, vocabulary, and grammar of the French language, although its recommendations carry no legal power and are sometimes disregarded even by governmental authorities. It also encourages the use of French worldwide and awards literary prizes.
As French culture and language have come under increasing pressure with the widespread availability of English media, the Acad�mie has tried to prevent the anglicisation of the French language. It is as a direct result of a decision of the Acad�mie that the French word for "computer" is "ordinateur" and that the field of study dealing with computers is known as "informatique."
The Acad�mie has forty seats, and all members are elected to a specific seat for life. They are known as the immortels (immortals) because of the device, � l'immortalit� appearing on the seal granted to the Acad�mie by Cardinal Richelieu. Famous current and former immortels include author Victor Hugo, author and director Marcel Pagnol, poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau, playwright Eug�ne Ionesco, anthropologist Claude L�vi-Strauss, and physicist Louis-Victor de Broglie.
The Acad�mie is charged with publishing an official dictionary of the French language. It has done so in 1694, 1718, 1740, 1762, 1798, 1835, 1878, and in 1932-1935. The Acad�mie continues work on the most recent (ninth) edition of the dictionary, of which the first volume (A to Enzyme) appeared in 1992, and the second volume (�oc�ne to Mappemonde) appeared in 2000.

Currently, trauma-informed practices are taking the student services and education landscape by storm. Close to 60% of adults report experiencing abuse or other difficult family circumstances during childhood. At any point during the school day, teachers will interact with students that have experienced acute, chronic, or complex trauma. Acute trauma results from a single event whereas chronic trauma results from a repeated and prolonged experience. Complex trauma results from repeated and varied exposure to a multitude of traumatic events.
This is relevant because those who experience trauma are 15 times more likely to attempt suicide, four times more likely to become an alcoholic, and three times more likely to experience depression. Being supported through trauma-invoked events ideally is proactive as a responsive approach can mitigate problems in later years. How are we as educators and clinicians preparing and assisting our colleagues in moving from trauma-informed competent to trauma-informed fluent?
Misconception #1: I need to know all of the students on my roster that have experienced trauma.
Answer: No, treating students differently and singling them out can actually bring undue attention to a student of trauma. Try to reflect on your practices and class policies to allow flexibility and empathy for ALL students.
Misconception #2: You only experience trauma after a major life-threatening event.
Answer: Research has found that trauma is not defined by the actual precipitating event, but trauma is defined by the emotional and psychological effect an event has on the person.
Misconception #3: Supporting those with trauma will not make a difference; moreover, it will exhaust resources for the “other” students.
Answer: Research has shown that 90% of trauma survivors report a new zest for life and the ability to apply new coping skills throughout their life and toward other stressful experiences. Utilizing a trauma-informed approach can support those survivors and help them to heal faster while demonstrating empathy and compassion to the bystanders.
Adopt a strengths-based approach! All individuals have strengths and weaknesses and, as educators, it is imperative that we leverage the strengths of our students to meet them where they are. This turns the question around from, “What is wrong with you?” to “What has happened to you?” signaling an empathic and safe space that invites those who have experienced trauma to heal and learn.

What is debate ? Many people may know debate as arguing to each other in order to see which side is better than the other side. It is correct, while there is another thing inside it. Debate is not only about saying your argument is better than the other, but also to destroy the opposing argument, and you need to give a reasoned argument to make your argument look stronger. Decades of academic research have proven that the benefits that accrue as a result of engaging in debate are numerous. Debate provides experiences that are conducive to life-changing, cognitive, and presentational skills. In addition, through debate debaters acquire unique educational benefits as they learn and polish skills far beyond what can be learnt in any other setting.
In this class, you will learn the basics of debate, such as speaking, convincing, knowledge, and structured words which are really useful not only in debate, but also in daily life. You will also learn the debate, with the rules, structure, and everything that construct the debate itself. You can be more confidence and also get more knowledge about the whole world, and be more critical in thinking. So, what are you waiting for ? Join this class, and feel the difference !

Since one of the movies in our “what upcoming movie are you looking forward to?” poll — Zombieland — opens in about eight hours (less some places!) itâ€™s time for a new poll. If you haven’t been keeping track, the clear winner is Zombieland, with sixty of 106 votes — well over half. The next closest was Resident Evil: Afterlife with sixteen votes, then George Romero’s next, Survival of the Dead with thirteen. REC 2 made a respectable showing early on, but faltered later, ending up with a decent but unremarkable ten votes. Zombies of Mass Destruction … well, you’re an indie, so be glad you nabbed a couple votes. And I am dying to know what “Something else” was but no one left comments.
As a followup, tell us what zombie videogame you are looking forward to the most. You can find the poll after the break and more information about each of these games all over the Internets — including this site for a few of them. Can’t wait to see what’s got you excited. The poll will remain open for at least two weeks, so send your friends to stuff the ballot box for your favorite. And if you vote “Something else,” please leave a comment saying what that something might be. It’s more fun for everyone if you do.

LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone welcomed Britain's vote to leave the European Union on Friday and said it made no difference to a global sport dominated by British-based teams.
"I have been a supporter of this all the way through," the 85-year-old Briton, whose headquarters are in London, told Reuters.
"I think it’s the best thing. We should be ruling ourselves," Ecclestone added.
"If we’ve got something to sell, and it’s a good product at the right price, people will buy whether they are Chinese, Italian or German...people will just get over this and get on with their lives."
Chris Aylett, chief executive of Britain's Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) whose sector accounts for 10 billion pounds ($13.65 billion) a year in the economy, said change also brought opportunities.
"Europe is a major market but so is the United States. There’s hardly a race anywhere in the world that doesn’t have products that are made in the UK," he told Reuters.
"Over time, will we lose things? We would anyway, even in the EU," he said.
"We have the best place in the world for motorsport and Hyundai decided to put (their) world rally (team) in Germany. Toyota doesn’t base its motorsport here.Renault do, Mercedes do. You can’t win them all."
Aylett said every car at this month's Le Mans 24 Hour race used British transmissions and every engine had British parts.
"We get the business here because these companies over the years have provided winning solutions. If you don’t win, you’re out of business," he said.
"That doesn’t really rely on whether you are in the EU or outside."

The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwifery Association (GRNMA) has asked the younger generation of nurses and midwives to rise with new zest and work extra hard to lift the falling dignity and standards of the profession.
The President of the association, Mr Kwaku Asante Krobea noted that the younger generation of nurses and midwives had come into the profession at a time when standards have fallen and when practitioners face so much insults and vilification for inefficiencies.
Speaking at the 70th-anniversary celebrations of the Cape Coast Nurses and Midwifery Training College last Friday, Mr Krobea said it was important to work to improve standards and change the perceptions of the public against health practitioners.
The occasion was also used to graduate 850 new nurses and midwives for the 2017 and 2018 year groups and also matriculate 216 fresh students into the college.
Mr Krobea assured the new graduates and students that the association would ensure that no government toys with the allowances of trainee nurses and midwives.
He noted that the association is committed to ensuring the well-being of all its members and especially support the advancement of their careers both professionally and academically.
The Deputy Central Regional Minister, Mr Thomas Adjei Baffoe advised health practitioners to adopt more friendly attitudes towards patients.
He said nurses and midwives must have empathy and politeness as core attributes to help erase perceptions, noting that they remain critical in the country’s efforts to ensure quality health care delivery for all.
He commended the college’s students and staff for their hard work and dedication to work.
Touching on the theme in a speech read for him, the Chief Director of the Ministry of Health, Nana Kwabena Adjei-Mensah said patients expected evidence-based care which he noted was proven to be efficient, effective and safe than opinion-based.
He further advised the nurses and midwives to take advantage of technology to provide improved health care for their patients.
The Principal of the College, Hajia Alima Opoku Ahmed advised both graduates and continuing students to be abreast of the ethics of the profession to reduce misconduct and negligence among staff.
She appealed for a fence wall around the north campus near the Cape Coast Teaching hospital and for improvement in the road network.
The Omanhene of Owirenkyiman Traditional Area, Ahunabobrem Pra Agyensiam who was the guest of honour called for the provision of infrastructure for the school.
The alumni President, Mrs Peace Honkou Semordzi expressed appreciation to the founders of the school, saying the alumni of the school had developed world-class health professionals contributing to quality health care delivery in Ghana and across the world.

MUMBAI: The Country’s gems and jewellery exports contracted by 4.65 per cent to about USD 25 billion during April-December this fiscal owing to demand slowdown in major markets, including the US. According to the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) data, exports stood at USD 26.1 billion in the same period last year.
The labour-intensive sector contributes about 14 per cent to the Country’s overall export. The drop in shipments is mainly due to negative growth in the export of gold jewellery and gold medallions and coins. The industry has asked for support in terms of increasing incentives under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) to boost the shipments. Blockage of working capital due to GST is impacting exports, a GJEPC official said. As per the data, gold jewellery shipments during April-December 2017-18 dipped by 4 per cent to USD 7 billion.
However, silver jewellery exports went up 16.28 per cent to USD 3.11 billion during the nine-month period of the current fiscal. Shipments of cut and polished diamonds reported a growth of just 1.85 per cent. India’s main export destinations are the US, Europe, Japan and China. America accounts for about one-fourth of the country’s total gems and jewellery exports.

“We would love to see your photos and memories of these.
“We are looking for photos, videos or stories to display in the venue during our 90th birthday celebration, which takes place on Friday April 29, with a variety style performance.

Incumbent president Kabila is in front with 4.9 million votes from just over half the polling stations counted.
Kabila’s nearest rival, UDPS party leader Tshisekedi, has 3.4 million votes. However, less than a third of polling stations in Kinshasa, considered a Tshisekedi stronghold, have been tallied.
The DRC’s National Episcopal Conference of Congo (Cenco) on Sunday urged the electoral commission to ensure results were a true reflection of voters’ intentions.
During the election process, Cenco had one of the largest observation missions in the country with over 30,000 people. But it has rejected calls to publish data it collected during its mission.
“It’s not the job of the Church to give results,” said Cenco’s president Bishop Nicolas Djomo.
Tshisekedi and other opposition leaders have rejected the partial results.
On Saturday, Tshisekedi said Kabila and the head of the country’s electoral commission, Daniel Ngoy Mulunda, risked committing “suicidal acts” by announcing them day-by-day.
“I appeal to all our people to remain vigilant,” Tshisekedi said. “If necessary I will give them the go-ahead,” he added, without specifying exactly what kind of go-ahead.
During a press conference on Saturday UNC party leader Vital Kamerhe appealed for an African mediation process.
Kamerhe, who’s considered likely to finish third, told journalists that “it’s an approach to save democracy and our nation”.
“We saw what happened in Kenya, we saw what happened in Zimbabwe, and we saw what happened recently in Côte d’Ivoire. Things have got worse because we have not anticipated them,” Kamerhe added.
Meanwhile, the government said on Saturday, Human Rights Watch’s report into the pre-election violence is “politically motivated”.
In an interview with RFI, Communications Minister Lambert Mende rejected the HRW death toll of 18 people.
“What we know is that three people died when clashes occurred between two political parties in Kinshasa. What we also know is that eight died in Lubumbashi when the town was attacked by gunmen,” Mende said.
He said HRW is giving names of victims without providing addresses so they cannot carry out a proper investigation.
at the ministry of communications and media.
Mende said the government is not trying to “hide” but is there to “care” for the Congolese people and HRW’s accusations are intended to “weaken” the government.
Preliminary results from the 28th November poll are expected on 6th December.

Good Girl Gone Redneck: KitKat for breakfast, anyone?
Guess who woke up in the middle of the night last night?
Guess who is cranky this morning?
I'm so tired, even though I did get her back to sleep in her own bed. But this whole *being able to get out of bed business* is a bit rough, especially when I wake up and she's right there beside me, in MY room! She is doing pretty well, and aside from a few early wake ups, she's been sleeping through the night in there. But she has continued to roll out of bed onto the floor nearly every night since we got the thing. I need to remember to bring my camera upstairs so I can document it for the record. She's so out of it when we pick her up and move her back into the bed, and hubby suggested a bed-like swaddle, where we use the blankets to at least "hold her in" somehow. And yet, in her sleep, she manages to break out of them and roll on down.
We've got padding on both sides, blankets and pillows, stuffed animals and random soft things, so she's been bruise-free. But man, the poor thing. We can't tell if she wakes up in the mornings on the floor, or in her bed, because she's not that clear when she's explaining it to us and waffles between both.
Mmmn, waffles, I would love a waffle right now. Have you heard about the EGGO shortage? I'm not kidding. Something about floods or bad weather in the area they're made, and therefore distribution is limited. I haven't figured out if this affects Aunt Jemima or generic, store-brands, though, and I hope not, as we're big on frozen waffles in this house. And yes, we have a waffle maker, but who really wants to deal with that mess? I mean, if you saw my sink right now you'd pity me. Seriously. I should say sinks, as we have the double, and my dishwasher is pretty full and needs to be run, although I JUST RAN IT.
And so, with my allergy angst kicking up again now that I'm healthier (horrific cough at night and horrible fits now and then, when eating, drinking, breathing, you know, the basics) than before and there's room for them, I sit here with itchy eyes, a cranky self and the wish that I had another KitKat in the pantry closet. In the meantime I may just settle for a CapriSun (fruit punch, blech!) and some dry Fruit Loops. Hey, don't knock it til you've tried it!
A Kit Kat for breakfast sounds yummy! Stock up!
That happened with my son. I had the guard rails up on the bed and it helped, but he still managed to kick them out far enough sometimes to fall out.
Have you thought of trying a bed rail for her? They are readily available and should help her stay in bed.
We didn't do those rails, but maybe you should consider it? Not that she's really getting hurt, mind you, but it might give you some peace of mind.
We also put a baby gate at the door to the girls' room at night. Pediatrician suggested it w/ all the night time wandering. It helped pretty quickly. They weren't happy about it at first, but we talked about it a lot, and after 3-4 nights, no one was bothering to get up at all!

The University of Akron’s Psychology Department Counseling Clinic provides timely therapeutic interventions tailored to the unique needs of each client. We empower clients to take an active role in their treatment and in the promotion of their overall mental health and well-being. Our clinic prepares counseling psychology doctoral students for the provision of outstanding client care throughout the entire therapy process, intra- and interdisciplinary collaboration, and clinical leadership. We aim to create a more socially just world by training a diverse staff that is sensitive to the individual and cultural identities of our clients, engaging in outreach and advocacy, and offering free and confidential services to encourage utilization by traditionally underserved populations.
The clinic is open throughout the academic year, with limited availability during summer sessions I and II. The clinic closes during all university breaks and anytime the university unexpectedly closes (e.g., for inclement weather). Please note that no clients are seen during the first week of each semester; however, new and returning clients are encouraged to call during this week to set up their appointment time. Our clinic hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. Please note that appointments may not be available at all times due to therapist schedules and client demand. For further information about our hours of operation, please contact our clinic.
Individuals who are interested in receiving services may call our front desk at 330-972-6714. When calling for the first time, you will be asked to complete a 5-10 minute screening during which we will provide information about our clinic, and ask some questions to get a sense of your concerns and determine whether we can offer you the appropriate level of care. Please note that we do not accept walk-in clients. If you have questions or concerns about speaking on the phone, or need accommodations, please ask our clinic staff in person or contact our GA for Clinic Administration.
Guest parking is available at 248 E. Buchtel Ave, Akron, OH 44325. We offer parking validation for all clients. Our office is located on the third floor of the College of Arts and Sciences building, located at 290 E. Buchtel Ave, Akron, OH 44325. When you enter the building from the front doors, you will find the elevators at the end of the hallway to your left. Our clinic reception desk is located in office 342, which is the first door on the left after exiting the elevator.
Our clinic is staffed by doctoral students in counseling psychology who are supervised by licensed psychologists. We understand that some clients may feel more comfortable seeing a more experienced therapist. If this is the case, we would be happy to provide you with referrals to trusted community providers. However, we also believe that our role as a training clinic provides several advantages for clients. First, our therapists are also students, which means they are engaged in a process of ongoing learning and using the most current interventions to address a range of concerns. Second, our therapists see fewer clients than most outside providers, so we can give each client the individualized care and attention that they deserve. Finally, while your therapist may be the only one in the room with you during your counseling appointments, we take a team approach to client care. Each therapist has an individual supervisor who reviews tapes of counseling sessions and all clinical records to ensure every client is getting the best care possible. All therapists are also enrolled in a clinical practicum class during which they may consult with their colleagues and group supervisors about client concerns. Every member of our clinic staff is bound by the same standards of confidentiality as your therapist.
