I'm so glad that I made this, I hadn't had Chicken Satay in years. I'm always on the lookout for new recipes to create from scratch and this just popped into my head, I'm very pleased that it did, it was a bit yum.
The chicken needs to marinate for around 3 hours for optimum flavour but other than that this is a really quick and simple meal to make.
We're at that stage in the Free From G abode where we're planning meals around Sriracha, it really does work with anything. Obvious choice was to make a Sriracha Burger, so that's what we did, there's only a few ingredients but man, do these taste good.
I'm really new to Butternut Squash but it's fast becoming a favourite. Prior to making these 'fries' I'd only roasted it a few times, I love roasted Butternut Squash but felt that I could do a lot more with it. Plus, I miss experimenting, there hasn't been a lot of that going on recently.
I haven't eaten chips in over 3 weeks due to a bit of post moving over indulgence, I miss them. When trying to think up something else to do with Butternut Squash other than roasting in oil I wondered if it would be possible to cook them minus any fat, that's how this experiment came about.
One of my biggest prepping pet hates is peeling garlic and I use a lot of the stuff so I dread to think how many hours I've spent begrudgingly doing it. Only the washing up could get a greater sigh out of me in the kitchen. I absolutely hate peeling blooming garlic.
That was until I tried something so simple, yet so astonishingly effective.
I Popped a garlic bulb into the microwave on high for 15 seconds. It takes the moisture from between the clove and skin and makes peeling it really, really easy. In fact, of all the cloves I peeled, the skin came off whole for each one. The garlic comes out very hot so don't try to peel as soon as you take it out, leave for a minute or so to cool a bit.
If you only need one or a couple of cloves just microwave for a few seconds.
I wish I'd discovered this trick years ago, it works a treat. Oh, and it also means that you don't get sticky garlic fingers, I hated having sticking garlic fingers. Time saving and less mess, always a bonus.
Much like the DS Crispbreads these have been a staple for me so I've overlooked posting about them. I'm always on the lookout for new discoveries to write about but forgot a couple of long term favourites in the process. Ridiculous really when I consider these to be the best gluten free bread product out there.
Not sure why I've never written about these before because they are a staple gluten free product constantly in my kitchen cupboard. I've eaten countless boxes over the years so you know that's a great sign. I guess it's because they've been a staple and not a new discovery, that I kind of overlooked them because they've always been there. DS Gluten Free Crispbread very much deserve a post though.
I'm a huge fan of cheese and a lover of flavoured popcorn so when I saw this I couldn't wait to try it. The cooking smell was incredible, even while it was in the microwave, our entire apartment smelt like we had been making cheese for a month. To some that may sound stinky, to us, very appetising!
It might be considered a form of O.C.D. but how my food is stored and how it's served is a constant worry whenever I'm not in my own home. I've been glutened enough by others to know that I never want another episode and so if I have to come across all O.C.D. to make sure that doesn't happen, I will.
I was admiring Bento Boxes online one day when it stuck me that this would be the perfect solution to eating out. I could make my own food, hot or cold, take it to wherever I'm going and eat straight out of the box with my own non contaminated utensil. It's not like whipping out something from cling film or a food bag, it's actually quite a classy way to eat.
I've never had to diet after a Christmas period before because I don't eat any differently during that time to the rest of the year. This is somewhat worse than just having to lose weight gained at Christmas though, this is weight gained since we moved in late August, happy eating weight gain resulting in half a stone. Ouch.
Two things are majorly to blame, Thorntons Chocolates and Jack Pots Crisps. I was eating both on a daily basis and enjoying them far too much. Other than that I was eating pretty normal, well as normal as you can possibly eat when you're experimenting for a gluten free comfort foods blog.
Why the empty wrapper photo you may be wondering? Well the reason is hunger, I woke up hungry on Monday morning and thought.... fruit! I'll have that fruit thing, that'll be good for breakfast. It was, but first thing on a Monday morning there was never going to be a photo op of the goods, I can barely use my limbs prior to 11am.
I love browsing the world food aisles in the Tesco we go to and we've had some surprising gluten free finds, this is the latest, it's yum.
Digestive biscuits have never been on my radar, not unless they were covered in chocolate and even then they've never been a favourite of mine. The only reason I bought these were to make a biscuit base for Key Lime Pie over Christmas but I never got around to it, then I needed to cut back on some calories so I figured it was just a bit too naughty to make.
So these have been overlooked, until yesterday when I wanted a small sweet treat and I decided to try them. Have to say, they aren't the boring, bland, dry biscuits I was expecting, they were really, really nice.
Popz Popcorn has always been a favourite, it could always be found in one of my kitchen cupboards prior to being gluten free and it still is. I personally like the sweet flavour best but The Glutenite isn't keen, so we came up with a really simple way to enhance the flavour to suit both our tastes, the butter flavour is the best base for doing this.
I've written a lot about gluten free crisps on Free From G but these are something else entirely. It had been a long time since I last had these due to a habanero overdose that will never be forgotten, so when I've been writing about how great the other crisps are I've neglected to recall how Blair's Death Rain Chips compare.
It's an unfair comparison really, the others are good but Blair's Chips are special. When I found out that most of Blair's products were gluten free I was over the moon. I absolutely love this stuff but I do have to take breaks or else I'd end up on a Britain's Fattest type show.
As mentioned in yesterday's post, it wasn't the end for the thick cut of fat from the pork shoulder, I didn't let it go to waste. Ah no, I made my take on Pork Scratchings, gluten free Pork Scratchings! Very yum.
I've always used ready bought pork mince but for whatever reason our Tesco began stocking just the extra lean kind. It was ruining our meals because it was too dry and it lacked flavour, so I decided to make my own. What an incredible difference!
This is such a ridiculously easy meal to make and so long as you've already made your curry paste and deveined your prawns it takes about 10 minutes from start to finish.
All you need is a wok, a cooking spoon and a container to put the rice noodles into to hydrate them. So easy!
Here's an old favourite that we only just got around to documenting; Thai Green Curry Paste with the Curry recipe to follow.
This paste does require quite a few ingredients but the resulting flavours are amazing. We make up a big batch and freeze in individual portions, it doesn't take long to do.
The Christmas holiday just gone was my absolute favourite ever. I usually have some form of cough or cold at that time of year and it leaves me feeling run down and not in the holiday spirit at all. This time though I was lurgy free and full of Christmas cheer for the first time in my life. It made a huge difference, I'd never been a fan but now I'm converted.
That crab right there was my requested Christmas lunch. No frills, just a crab, just the way I wanted. I didn't use the knife and fork in case you're wondering.

As we get older, teeth can become stained and yellow. Even for those with excellent dental hygiene habits, it’s common for a smile to lose its shine over time.
Teeth whitening treatments are designed to help lift dental discolouration from coffee, wine, berries, and other sources that are known to cause stains.
Request an appointment to find out which whitening treatments might be right for you.
We offer custom whitening trays for at-home whitening. Dental impressions are taken in-office, and the trays are made on those models. This method of whitening is cost-effective for patients and in most cases results in less sensitivity than in-office whitening.
Best results are achieved when patients wear their trays with whitening gel overnight. Patients are able to wear them during the day if they cannot tolerate night time wear. Your custom trays will last for the first course of whitening and any future touch-ups if they are taken care of.

There are a variety of ways you can add character to your home. Remodeling a kitchen or updating your bathrooms are excellent indoor projects. But don’t neglect the outside curb appeal of your house. While landscaping is an obvious choice to spruce up the appearance of your home to neighbors and those just driving by, lighting can also go a long way in enhance the beauty of your property. Plus, well-placed lighting can increase the security of your home, allow you to take greater enjoyment in outdoor spaces such as porches and decks, and even add appeal and overall value if you’re thinking about selling in the near future. Below are a few ways to utilize lighting outdoors. Keep in mind there may be neighborhood or municipal rules and codes pertaining to the type of lighting you’re allowed to use outside your home.
1) Front entrance lighting: This is perhaps the most obvious form of outdoor lighting. Install wall lanterns or overhead lighting to your home or front porch overhang. This helps you identify visitors while also offering a warm, welcoming look for guests.
2) Grills or eating areas: Your home may already have an outdoor grill as well as an eating space for summer cookouts. Light up the space so that you can better see what you’re cooking, and also give family and guests a pleasant experience. By using mount lights on your grill or on a nearby perch or railing, you can properly direct these lights for the space. Portable fixtures may also prove useful. Just be sure that you bring them inside before spring storms blow through your area.
3) Your garage: A well-placed streetlight may light up your driveway, but there’s nothing quite as comforting as the glow of lighting from your own home. Install a motion-sensing fixture near your garage that can light your path as soon as you arrive. If you don’t like the idea of a motion-sensing light, consider purchasing a photocell, which will turn your lights on as evening approaches and off at dawn. It’s an energy-saving solution that provides great lighting throughout the night.
4) Steps, paths, and driveway lighting: Don’t let yourself, your family, or your guests lose their footing around your home. Illuminate any uneven groundwork to make sure everyone is able to move about outside your home easily. You can also use low-level lighting to highlight nearby flower beds and shrubs. Additionally, by lining your driveway with low level lighting, guests won’t accidently drive on your grass or into mailbox when leaving your home after dark.
5) Pools and fountains: Water around your home can be beautiful, but also dangerous. Let your guests know where a fountain or pool begins with well-placed lighting systems. By installing lanterns nearby or purchasing floating lights for the water’s surface, you can not only beautifully illuminate your water, but also provide safety for anyone that comes to your home.
6) Decks and porches: Add a little outdoor romance to your home by lighting up your porch or deck. Using rope lights or even low-voltage lights under stairs, railings, or benches can provide a soft glow that allows everyone to move around the area safely.
Outdoor lighting will provide your home with more curb appeal and improved safety. If you want to install updated lighting fixtures around your home, visit your local hardware store. They can offer more options than you think!

Theme: Feed on the Word of God to become strong.
Do you see this bag? It is called "a brown bag." Now, a "brown bag" is what we used to take our lunch to school in when I was a boy. Hardly anyone had a fancy lunch box like children use today. Our mothers would save sacks from when she went to the store and use them as lunch bags. Kids who took their lunch to school in one of these bags were called "brown baggers." See my name on it? That was important, because every kid in school had a lunch bag just like mine.
Let's see what I have for lunch in my brown bag today. Here are some chips. Oh, and here are some cookies. Let's see what else....here is a candy bar. Hey, do you think my mother would pack me a lunch like this? No way! This is all junk food! Do you know what would happen to me if I ate a steady diet of junk food like this? I would become weak and sickly because this junk food does not have the vitamins and nourishment needed to grow a strong, healthy body. Our bodies need the nourishment we get from meat, bread, fruits, and vegetables. No one can survive for very long on a junk food diet.
No one would think of feeding their body a steady diet of junk food. And yet, many people feed their minds with a steady diet of junk food every day. They feed it with TV, movies, comic books, magazines and other junk. They never give their minds the real nourishment that it needs to be strong and healthy. They never feed it with the Word of God. The Bible says that our strength comes from the Lord, and that comes to us through His Word.
Lord, help us to remember that just as our bodies can't survive on junk food, neither can our minds. Help us to remember that our strength comes from you, and that to learn about you, we need to feed on your Word. Amen.

The purpose of this article is to take a look at some of the best stunt scooters on the market and figure out what makes the best stunt scooter for kids. Doing so requires looking at features like weight, size, ease of maintenance, and even style to figure out which model suits your little one.
Stunt scooters are becoming increasingly popular among extreme sports fans. Before kids can graduate to the larger, more feature-filled scooters, though, they’ve got to start with something that’s a bit closer to their own size.
Durability is the name of the game for this scooter. It’s perfect for any kid who wants to learn how to grind on a scooter, something that can easily cause a lot of wear and tear on scooters with less robust decks.
It’s the best stunt scooter for kids who are really going to put a scooter through its paces, though it still works well enough for almost any young rider. It doesn’t have a lot of the special construction features you might expect from some of the other names on this list. Nonetheless, the fact that it can take a beating really does make it an ideal fit for anyone who is just learning how to ride.
This model from Swagtron is definitely a solid pick if you’re looking for the best stunt scooter for kids, even if the name leaves something to be desired. Name aside, it’s a great scooter that can really grow with a young rider.
It’s billed as perfect for ages seven to fifteen, with an adjustable stem that will grow along with a rider. It’s also very light, which makes it easy to cart around as well as perfect for doing tricks. Combined with a smooth rider and good handling, this makes for a good entry scooter for any young rider who wants to get better on a scooter.
Vokul’s fairly well known in the world of stunt scooters, so it shouldn’t come as a huge shock that it makes at least one entry on the list of best stunt scooter for kids. While it does provide a child with a smooth and easy ride, one of the best features of this particular scooter is how easy it is to put together.
Tighten three nuts and you’ll be good to go – no worries about small parts or dealing with strange pieces. This is a good scooter for those who are just starting to figure out how they want to ride and don’t want to make a huge investment quite yet.
Induxpert markets its FMX scooter as a true trick scooter, and much of that has to do with the design. While it’s impossible to know how much truth is behind the company’s claims of having pros design every component, the fact is that this scooter is incredibly responsive.
On top of that, the Induxpert model is also a good fit for older kids, and even teens. That’s because it’s easy to ride even if you are over six feet tall. The real selling point should be the construction, though. This is a hard scooter to wear out and it really will reward the rider’s perseverance by responding to his or her commands easily.
The Chili Reaper is a step above what you’d generally find among the best stunt scooter for kids, to say nothing of the average scooter. This is something that’s a bit more akin to what the pros use. Thanks to some awesome technology used in the development, kids will enjoy a smoother, more controllable ride.
While this one isn’t a great fit for very young children, it’s one of the few scooters that can grow with a rider very well. It’s not quite going to take your child into his or her adult years, but it’s still a great fit for teens.
Fortunately, stunt scooters don’t take an awful lot of maintenance compared to other rideables. While there are certainly things at which you need to look, be aware that your primary tool is going to be either a screwdriver or a hex wrench when dealing with most problems.
Your primary goal should always be making sure that the handlebars are tightly connected to the stem. If they go loose, you could have a major problem when attempting a trick. Give the handlebar and stem a quick once-over before you start riding and tighten them whenever necessary. It might keep your child from riding for a few extra minutes, but it is more than worth the effort.
Any one of the scooters listed here has a good claim to being the best stunt scooter for kids this year. These scooters are all great for growing riders and can stand up to the punishment that tends to come with learning how to ride. If you’ve had and experience with one of these scooters – or if we have left a great scooter off the list – don’t keep it to yourself – get in contact with us and share your story.

12th February, 2015: FISHING REPORT: Port Alberni Inlet, Barkley Sound, Ucluelet (West Coast), Somas-Stamp River System.
It’s again a New Year for sport salt water fishing and many sport fishermen, guides and potential guests are beginning to think about the many sport fishing opportunities that await them in 2015.
2014 was a fairly memorable year on the scenic West Coast of Vancouver Island. Chinook fishing for migratory salmon headed to distant southern watersheds began in late April and continued through the late spring and summer. Salmon returning to local streams and rivers arrived in August and continued in relatively good numbers into September. In the Alberni Inlet Sockeye returns were not as high as forecast but returns were still over 1.2 million. The 2015 West Coast Vancouver Island sport fishing season which will begin in the late spring and continue into the summer and early fall months looks to be very similar to that of the 2014 season. The Sockeye season in the Alberni Inlet will again once again be fairly good with numbers hopefully reaching 600,000. The Inlet is a great spot to sport fish as the Alberni Inlet water is fairly quiet and pristine. Barkley Sound and offshore Ucluelet should be strong as good numbers of Chinook and Coho migrate to those distant watersheds.
Winter fishing for Winter Steelhead in the Stamp River has been steady and winter (feeder) Chinook fishing in Barkley Sound and around the quiet hamlet of Bamfield and also the Ucluelet Harbor has been off and on with some reasonable fishing opportunities on those days that the winter season offers. The Stamp River had excellent returns in terms of the summer run of Steelhead and to date returns of winter Steelhead have been good with the peak of the current season expected in February. There has been some good sized hatchery Winter Steelhead in the mid teens with a few reaching the Upper teens to date.
At times during the winter months a few schools of Winter Chinook will make their way up into the inlet and feed on bait fish in the Bells Bay and Nahmint-Franklin areas. This happens periodically but most years the Alberni Inlet has the best sport fishing from mid June to mid September. The Somass River Sockeye begin migrating into the river in May and usually begin to school in good numbers around the 10th of June. When the Sockeye build up in big numbers the sport fishing action for the number one commercial salmon really heats up and is a lot of fun for all fisher persons young and old.
Sockeye fishing often can continue into the first ten days of August. It is then that the first few Chinook salmon appear in the Inlet. Chinook fishing is followed by Coho with the peak of the Chinook season often occurring around the Labor Day Weekend when the Port Alberni three day Labor Day Weekend fishing derby occurs. The Port Alberni Inlet is a wonderful and very easy area to fish. Many people worry about rough water but the Inlet waters for the most part are very calm. The best fishing time for Sockeye is in the morning hours and the last two hours before dark.
Sockeye salmon do seem to be active at any time of the day which makes this sport fishery a very popular opportunity for everyone.
Barkley Sound waters are very much like the Port Alberni Inlet. The Sound is protected on both the east and west coastlines. Fishing in the Sound could occur every month of the year without fear of experiencing the big waters often found offshore in the winter and even during the summer months. Winter Chinook fishing has been off and on. Recently the Bamfield Wall and Samatao Bay has had some very good Winter Chinook fishing. The 2015 mid winter months have had some good weather patterns and fairly productive fishing days. The best fishing areas as mentioned have been the Bamfield Harbor mouth, the Bamfield Wall, Samatao Bay as well as Swale Rock, Vernon Bay, and the Canoe Pass outside entry points. Pill Point, Sarita Bay and the Poett Nook area are also other spots worthwhile to fish in February and March. The last few weeks has had some anglers fishing the Bamfield Wall. Anglers have had opportunity to land a few Winter Chinook in the Fifteen pound range. There have been several feeders in the seven to nine pound range and many undersize salmon in the mix. The feeders have been hitting cop car coyote spoons in the three and a half and four inch size. Other coyote spoons that have worked are nasty boy the cop car glow and blue and green nickel. Green Spatter back hootchies have been working as well. Anchovy in Chartreuse Rhys Davis Teaser Heads are good but with lots of undersize feeders in the mix one can go through a lot of bait.
Winter Springs are in deep water. It is not uncommon to find them in most areas of Barkley Sound from 100 to 145 feet. The Winter Chinook will always be found where one finds go sized bait balls. As mentioned Coyote Spoons in the three and a half to four inch size have been working. Other great spoons to have on board are glow cop car, nasty boy, Green glow, and green and blue nickel. These are good choices for fisher persons to have in the tackle box. Hootchies are popular but use a shorter leader length than in the summer. Leader lengths from 34 to 38 inches behind a glow green or glow red hotspot flasher are a good choice. The Purple Haze hootchie as well as various whites and greens are also excellent choices. Anchovy is also something all sport fisher persons should have on board. There are days when the salmon will touch nothing else but anchovy. Anchovy in chartreuse or a green glow Rhys Davis Teaser Head is a good choice. Most of the current feeder Chinook landed has been in the 100 to 130 foot level. The first salmon fishing derby on Vancouver Island’s West Coast will once again occur in Barkley Sound and is based out of Poett Nook. The Sproat Loggers Derby will take place the first Saturday and Sunday of March. The Derby is very popular and offers some great prizes and often some great weather and fishing. The derby surprisingly has some good sized feeders landed. It is not uncommon to have fish over twenty pounds entered.
Summer fishing in Barkley Sound especially on the surf line most years occurs from late May to early September and is expected in 2015 to be relatively good due to the migratory movement of salmon along the west coast. Good numbers of Chinook, Coho and Pink Salmon will be moving to watersheds to the South. The migratory flow of Chinook should predominately be 4 year olds. The vast amounts of rich resources of bait fish in the Barkley Sound area during the summer months often bring the salmon into feed and rest before they continue their journey. Some world class fishing usually occurs at Meares, Cree, Edward King, Beale and as far in as Kirby Point and Swale Rock. We are really excited about the great sport salmon fishing opportunity we should have this summer in both the Sound and the Port Alberni Inlet.
It is fairly difficult to go offshore during the winter months. There have however been some reasonably nice days on the water where the swell and water lump has been low. The best winter Chinook fishing is often fairly close to the Ucluelet Harbor and well into the Broken Group of Islands. This year has been no different. Beg Island, Mara Rock and Big Bear have had some results. As far in a Mayne Bay has actually had the best results. Needle fish, white hootchies, and various green hootchies, anchovy, and nasty boy, cop car, green glow, and silver glow coyote spoons have been the best bets to attract the feeder Chinook. In late February the feeder Chinook fishing really picks up and gets much better as the herring spawn gets close and as the herring move toward the beach the salmon chase. In the early spring we often feature our Seafood Safari. This is a great trip on the open Pacific where guests can be treated to some excellent winter Chinook fishing, bottom fishing, prawn and crab fishing. There might even be opportunity to find some oysters along some of the magnificent beaches of the west coast. The end of the day often has guests preparing a wonderful gourmet seafood dinner at a local resort or bed and breakfast. There are spots that the preparation of the days catch will be prepared for guests.
Summer sport salmon fishing out of Ucluelet looks again very promising. Year after year Ucluelet has some of British Columbia’s best and most wonderful fishing opportunities. The outlook for Chinook and Coho migrations look similar to the past few years. We expect late May into mid September to have some of the best salmon fishing. For those that enjoy Pink Salmon fishing the odd year is back and returns of Pinks to various rivers along the west coast should be very good.
The Stamp to date has provided some very good winter Steelhead fishing. The fishing in one simple word has been “consistent”. The fish are beginning to spread out and can be found in the upper and lower river. Water conditions up to this past mid week were excellent until the last Pacific Pineapple Express hit the West Coast with a vengeance. With the previous water levels being relatively ideal the migration of Winter Steelhead has been good with some good fishing in both the Upper and Lower Stamp River. Guided trips on average have been hooking into five to seven fish per guest group each day. The mix of hatchery Steelhead compared to wild have been almost 50-50 on a percentage basis. For those on foot the most popular area is the falls pool which over the past few weeks has been very congested with sport anglers, especially on weekend days. The Sproat has also had some great fishing days as of late. Those individuals on guided and non-guided trips fishing with a float and below “the bucket” have had good success using natural bait in roe, roe bags, and shrimp. Lures in artificial are allowed only from “the bucket” up river. In the “no bait zone” corkies, spin’n’glows in rocket red and peach are working very well. Below “the bucket” if not using bait pink worms, blades and gooey bobs are all working very well. One sport angler fishing close to the confluence was using a pink jig which like pink worms, for the most part, works best in the Upper River, had an unbelievably successful day during the past week by hooking into five or six Steelhead. The Winter Steelhead have been good sized fish into the mid teens.
We are expecting the February and March Stamp River winter Steelhead fishing to be very good right through until the end of March.

Kristi is a little *confused* right now.
Scratch that. Kristi is a lot *confused* right now.
See, Kristi offered her sister a truce yesterday. And Kristi has been going out of her way the last 24 hours to put something together for Carla's engagement party tomorrow. So Kristi called Carla tonight with her idea, which was a get to know the bride and groom questionnaire, and Carla thought it was cool. But Chad. Chad thought it was NOT so cool. And Chad got mad. And Carla told me that he was upset with me because I didn't ask permission to do this at their party.
And Kristi said (a little bit hurt, but it's okay) No Big Deal. Really. Don't Make It Into A Whole Thing.
And suddenly Chad tried to call her phone. And her husbands phone. Both of which are too dead to talk on.
So Kristi sent Carla a text asking her what was up, and Carla doesn't answer.
It's been 45 minutes, and still no answer.
Its that feeling Kristi usually gets before something really bad happens.
So Kristi is hoping she is wrong for once. Please.

Teleservice is the application of telecommunications technology to deliver professional services at a distance. Clarke’s tVISIT (teleservices Virtual Intervention Services for Infants and Toddlers) Program provides teleservices to families of infants and toddlers with hearing loss. tVISITs are administered using a computer with a web camera and a microphone; a tablet (such as an iPad); or a smart phone with video communication capability.
What are the advantages of a tVISIT?
How does a tVISIT work?
A Clarke practitioner and a child's caregivers connect via videoconferencing at an appointed time. The practitioner guides, coaches and helps the caregivers apply effective strategies that promote listening and spoken language development while engaging in everyday activities.
Can families still see their early intervention professional(s) in person?
Of course! While some families are supported only through tVISITs, others also receive inperson services from Clarke or other providers. When possible, Clarke offers this “hybrid model” of care in which families receive both in-person and tVISIT services.
Does a tVISIT offer the same standard of care as an in-person session?
Yes, the child and family receive the same quality of support and early intervention services as provided by a Clarke professional during inperson sessions and, when applicable, as outlined on the IFSP (Individual Family Service Plan).
For more information, contact your Clarke Early Intervention professional or the tVISIT Project Coordinator at tVISIT@clarkeschools.org.

Somewhere along the lines, you have grown tired of your monotonous job and the idea of owning a business has started to creep into your mind. In other words, you are fed up of the idea of the 9-5 work cycle and you want to start a business of your own. If the buzz is strong, then you first need a business model in place to make your dream a reality.
A business model is like the skeleton that keeps your firm standing upright. Before you start, you should consider which business model best suits your company. Depending on the nature of your specific business, you can choose any model as long as it befits the financial threshold of running your company. In the end, it is your call to make on which business model best represents your brand's visions, spirit, and goals.
In reverse auctions, buyers who are very price-sensitive name their prices to the seller. If the seller accepts the price, then the buyers have to accept the terms and conditions of the seller. It is how Priceline works – it gives desperate and price-sensitive travelers the lowest price on accommodations, airline tickets and rental cars in exchange for convenience. Priceline benefits from this because the consumers feel as if they are winning with their bid when in actuality the price is a bit higher than what could have been too low for Priceline’s sellers to accept. And the financial statistics show how prosperous this business model is. Check out the figures yourself here: 22% revenue growth, 50% profit growth, and 46% increase in stock on average. Isn’t it fantastic?
In 2010, Warby Parker decided to enter into the eyewear market when Luxottica had monopolized it. Luxottica had control of the designer eyewear price. Due to the price bar being set high, Warby Parker saw a huge opening and realized this because most brands sold the rights to companies like Luxottica that had increased their manufacturing and design costs. So what was the solution to this? Warby Parker became a middleman and significantly reduced the price of its product. Along with being aided by the company brand’s cool factor, Warby Parker also provided their consumers with large savings.
Try to assemble all of the sellers and buyers for a couple of things in one virtual location. It will give sellers a large set of buyers and vice versa. That is the same mentality behind eBay as buyers and sellers give each other tough ratings and PayPal gives a sense of security in case things go south. The financial results show that the model works for eBay even though it’s not a very booming one. On average over the last decade, the revenue for the company went up by 17%, profit 14% and the stock rose to merely 5%. The revenue per employee was about $479,000 which is 40% more than the average of the retail industry.
Becoming a marketplace is an ever growing business model that continues to be highly effective. It is where two or more types of users meet to transact. The model derives its revenue from a marketplace rake which is a fraction of the transacted revenue on the marketplace. Instead of percentage rake, some marketplaces can charge fixed transactional fees. Some good examples of marketplaces include eBay, Airbnb, Instacart, and Uber.
E-commerce is a simple model in which items and services are sold online and the revenue is extracted from the transactions through markups on the products sold or through other means. To some, it may seem like an age-old product. However, if we go by the figures of the running year, it takes out the share of about 7% of all the retailing commerce that happens online. Prominent examples of eCommerce startups include Amazon and Warby Parker.

The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has revealed how his wife’s battles with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) provided creative inspiration on their new album.
The Las Vegas band will release ‘Wonderful Wonderful’ on September 22, their sixth studio album and the first since 2012’s ‘Battle Born’.
Now, Flowers has opened up on how album track ‘Rut’ was inspired by his wife Tana’s battle with the mental health condition, and how she sought counselling in a desperate attempt to tackle it.
Speaking to NME in an exclusive interview, he said: “My wife has PTSD. She has a version called Complex PTSD. It’s when a person has had multiple traumatic experiences. Her whole life, she’s been covering it, pretending it isn’t there. For whatever reason, in her 30s, it’s decided to really manifest itself and that’s what I’m going through with my family.
“Usually I feel protective of her but I decided to take it head on. So ‘Rut’ is about her submitting to it. She got severely depressed and it wasn’t until she sought counselling and got a name for what was going on that it helped.
He also revealed how putting Tana’s struggles into song enabled him to gain a greater understanding of her battle.

Hip resurfacing has been developed as a surgical alternative to total hip replacement (THR). The procedure consists of placing a cap (usually made of cobalt-chrome metal), which is hollow and shaped like a mushroom, over the head of the femur while a matching metal cup (similar to what is used with a THR) is placed in the acetabulum (pelvis socket), replacing the articulating surfaces of the patient's hip joint and removing very little bone compared to a THR. When the patient moves the hip, the movement of the joint induces synovial fluid to flow between the hard metal bearing surfaces lubricating them when the components are placed in the correct position. The surgeon's level of experience with hip resurfacing is most important; therefore, the selection of the right surgeon is crucial for a successful outcome. Health-related quality of life measures are markedly improved and patient satisfaction is favorable after hip resurfacing arthroplasty.
The potential advantages of hip resurfacing compared to THR include less bone removal (bone preservation), a reduced chance of hip dislocation due to a relatively larger femoral head size (given that the patient has an anatomically correct femoral head size), and easier revision surgery for any subsequent revision to a THR device because a surgeon will have more original bone stock available The potential disadvantages of hip resurfacing are femoral neck fractures (rate of 0–4%), aseptic loosening, and metal wear. Due to the retention of the patient's complete femoral neck other advantages exist: Surgeon induced discrepancies in leg length (as could happen with THR) are now minimized. Also, the toe-in or toe-out faults that could occur interoperatively with THR are now over because the femoral neck that determines foot direction is left undisturbed with hip resurfacing.
On February 10, 2011, the U.S. FDA issued a patient advisory on metal-metal hip implants, stating it was continuing to gather and review all available information about metal-on-metal hip systems. On June 27–28, 2012, an advisory panel met to decide whether to impose new standards. No new standards, such as routine checking of blood metal ion levels, were set, but guidance was updated.
Patient suitability for hip resurfacing is decided by the patient's anatomy and the patient's surgeon. Hip resurfacing is generally more suitable for younger patients who are not morbidly obese, are clinically qualified for a hip replacement (determined by the doctor), have been diagnosed with noninflammatory degenerative joint disease, do not have an infection, and are not allergic to the metals used in the implant. Hip resurfacing should not be used on patients who have severe bone loss in their femoral head, those with large femoral neck cysts present (typically found at surgery) or cysts that are close to the head neck junction, or patients who have poor bone stock or osteoporosis. Caution should be used for patients who have rheumatoid arthritis, are tall, thin, or small boned, those with osteonecrosis (poor blood supply) to the femoral head, or those with femoral head cysts > 1 cm on an x-ray taken before surgery. Metal-on-metal resurfacing systems are generally unsuitable for women of child-bearing age due to unknown effects of metal ion release on the fetus. Patients with any of these conditions may not be suitable candidates for hip resurfacing.There are hip resurfacing components that have a ceramic coating on metal femoral head component and cross linked polyethylene plastic as a liner for the socket or cup area making it not metal on metal. The plastic sleeve can be replaced if needed without removing the main components.
Hip Resurfacing has a long history paralleling the advances of THA. Similar designs appear to have begun in the 1940s, with the first prostheses and procedures (called double-cup arthroplasty) using congruent femoral and acetabular components emerging in the 1970s. These early designs used metal-on-polyethylene bearings, and had poor results compared to THA at the time. It has since been observed that these poor results were strongly tied with polyethylene wear debris associated with the use of air-sterilised ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) at the time.
In 2006, the United States FDA approved hip resurfacing using the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) system, designed by British Orthopaedic surgeon Derek McMinn. All other FDA approved devices have been removed from the US Market. The BHR is no longer suggested for use in women. There are several other manufacturers of hip resurfacing systems, mainly in Europe.
The hip resurfacing devices are metal-on-metal articulating devices which differ from total hip replacement devices because they are more bone conserving and retain the natural geometry (so-called large ball THR devices share this trait). A THR requires that the upper portion of the femur bone be cut off to accept the stem portion of a THR device. The femur cap of the hip resurfacing devices does not require the femur bone be cut off; instead the top of the femoral head is shaped to closely fit the underside of the cap. Both hip resurfacing and hip replacement require that a cup is placed in the acetabulum of the hip socket. The main advantage of the hip resurfacing surgery is that when a revision is required, there is still an intact femur bone left for a THR stem. When a THR stem requires a revision, the metal stem in the femur has to be removed and often more bone is lost in the process of removal and replacement with a larger diameter stem. Having a hip resurfacing at a younger age means that a revision will likely be easier to perform when required.
Recent studies have shown that the outcome of a hip resurfacing is dependent on surgeon experience and that proper positioning of hip resurfacing components is crucial. Therefore, in addition to ensuring that a proven device is used, patients should take care in selecting a surgeon with experience and a good track record.
Although formal labeling restrictions exist in some countries, including the United States, hip resurfacing may allow younger, active people to return to many activities they enjoyed prior to their hip problems, which is an advantage over a traditional hip arthroplasty. The large size cap and cup of the hip resurfacing devices are the same size as a person's original ball and socket and thus are less prone to dislocation.
An often forgotten but very important advantage of hip resurfacing and thereby the retention of the femoral neck is the fact that hip resurfacing has the least measurable amount of "stress shielding" when compared to any type of THR. This means that with hip resurfacing the femur's upper portion fully retains its natural mechanical characteristics under load, also ensuring less disturbance of the processes that place inside bone that is alive.

In August 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., issued a voluntary recall of the ASR™ XL Acetabular System and ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System after new information from the UK National Joint Registry indicated that the number of patients who required a second hip replacement procedure, called a revision surgery, was higher than previously reported data. Potential complications include pseudotumors, metallosis, ALVAL (Aseptic Lymphocytic Vasculitis Associated Lesions), and femoral neck fracture.

For a number of reasons qualitative techniques have taken firm root in nursing research generally and are of growing importance in research undertaken by nurse educators. But there is a great deal of confusion about the nature of the data which are produced by qualitative research, the way such data must be handled, and the use to which such data can be put.
The confusion often results from a failure to differentiate between several orientations to qualitative data. In the previous paper Positivist research was discussed. Non-positivist research is of a number of kinds, despite often being treated as unified. Examples are: (a) descriptive (‘phenomenological’) research — which seeks to give a faithful account of an area of experience or of an aspect of the ‘life-world’; (b) interpretative (‘hermeneutic’) research — which aims to show ways of making sense of experience; and (c) discourse analysis — which draws out the socially available modes of thinking and action which reveal themselves in qualitative data.

From drug addictions to incarcerations, she's helping other women recover from life crises and impacting lives.
Tanisha Gant-Watson is the founder and CEO of the Jordan Community Center which opened 14 years ago. Helping women get their lives back on track has been the center's focus from the start.
Mary Nichols has been at the center for 13 years and credits it for turning her life around saying, "Jordan has saved my life in so many different ways. It taught me skills I didn’t have. It gave me one-on-one practical skills in the workforce."
The Center provides recovery housing and a gender specific program for women to learn job skills, self-development and training to tackle daily life. April Weidus, who has been in the program for a year, is now looking forward to college after beating addiction. She says, "Before I went to Jordan house, I was very pessimistic. I have, just a totally different outlook on life now. The people at the Jordan facility are very caring, and they’re sincere."
The Center allows women to collaborate and support each other on their individual journeys. At a cost of about $14,000 a person, Jordan has helped over 1,500 women get back on track since its opening. BuComing up with those funds can be challenging but Gant-Watson believes the the community will stand behind the center as they come to understand the need for it, "We believe that, where there is life, there is hope. And that’s the biggest takeaway."
Nichols agrees. "13 years ago, if I didn’t have this mindset and this skill and Jordan, I would not be here."
Weidus believes that any woman struggling as she was can benefit from the program. "If you feel like there’s no chance you can make it, let someone try to help you."

The House of Blue Leaves - Did He Like It?
Ben Stiller and Edie Falco return to Broadway in a strictly limited, 16-week engagement of John Guare's comic masterpiece. Stiller is Artie Shaughnessy, a zookeeper and wannabe songwriter, who is trying to cope with a schizophrenic wife, an impatient girlfriend and a visit from the Pope, all while sustaining his dream of hitting it big. Jennifer Jason Leigh also stars in this satirical take on celebrity, religion, and the frequent merging of the two. Directed by David Cromer.
April 25, 2011: What do you get when you take the “sur” out of “surrealism”? That sounds like a question in search of a punch line. But few laughs emerge from the answers provided by the somber new revival of John Guare’s “House of Blue Leaves,” which opened on Monday night at the Walter Kerr Theater.
April 25, 2011: What do you get when you take the "sur" out of "surrealism"? That sounds like a question in search of a punch line. But few laughs emerge from the answers provided by the somber new revival of John Guare's "House of Blue Leaves," which opened Monday night at the Walter Kerr Theater.
April 25, 2011: In his introduction to the 1972 published edition of “The House of Blue Leaves,” John Guare says his most important play was driven by his interest in how people avoid humiliation — that impulse being the core of tragedy, comedy and our very lives themselves. There are two parts to that, of course — humiliation and avoidance — and David Cromer’s star-encrusted Broadway revival (the cast is headlined by Ben Stiller, Edie Falco and Jennifer Jason Leigh) has one down, but not fully the other.
April 25, 2011: The Bottom Line: David Cromer’s production overplays the melancholy and under-serves the humor, but the enduring originality of John Guare’s breakthrough play prevails.
April 25, 2011: Edie Falco has the astonishing ability to disappear completely into any role she takes on. In director David Cromer's only partially successful revival of John Guare's hilarious -- even visionary -- tragicomedy The House of Blue Leaves, now at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre, she's hardly recognizable as the sanity-challenged Bananas.

After falling 10m short in 2014, Kiwi William Trubridge has come back to set a new freediving world record of 102m, beating his own world record set in 2010 by one metre.
Trubridge plunged into the darkness of the world’s deepest marine cavern, Dean’s Blue Hole in the Bahamas, on the morning of 21 July (NZT). After being submerged for 4min 14s on a single breath, Trubridge surfaced and was reminded to breathe by officials before confirmation came through and the cheering began.
The Marlborough Sounds and part of Tasman Bay will be closed to recreational and commercial scallopers until early 2017 to ensure long-term sustainability of the fishery, Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy announced today.
The Southern Scallop Fishery (SCA7), which covered the top and northwest coast of the South Island, will be closed when the season opened on Friday.
Commercial and recreational fishing for scallops in all of the Marlborough Sounds, and part of eastern Tasman Bay will be banned for the coming season until February 14, 2017, Guy said.

Nothing can escape climate change, not even one of New Zealand’s national treasures – the paua.
Scientists around the world are worried about the devastating impact acidification of the ocean is having on shellfish.
A new international study indicates mussel farming will not be commercially viable by 2100, and there are concerns the same could happen to the country’s rainbow-shelled species.

Competing against 10 other teams from Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, UK and the USA, University of Auckland’s human-propelled submarine, Taniwha, took the winning trophy at the International European Submarine Races. Taniwha II uses Hobie Mirage drive fins for propulsion that are peddled by the pilot who breathes on scuba. The sub’s rear body bends around in a smooth curve, like a fish, enabling the Taniwha to turn without a rudder.
The top speed for Taniwha II (4.7 knots) was very close to the 4.9 knot world record for a non-propeller single pilot sub. The team’s goal is to break record next year at the 14th International Submarine Races, Naval Surface Warfare Centre, Carderock, Maryland USA.
On 19 July we saw the first KISS Re-breather fitted with a sorb canister coated in syntactic foam dived in New Zealand. This incredible insulation foam increases the sorb exothermic temperature and therefore the bottom time. It was tested in Colorado using a KISS Spirit CCR at 3,500m above sea level in 7°C waters using Sofnolime 797. At the end of a two-hour dive the syntactic foam had maintained a canister working temp of 25°C.
Flying high-tech drones close enough to southern right whales to catch some of the bugs they blow out will help tell scientists more about the effects climate change is having on the planet.
An international team of scientists, led by Otago University marine biologist Professor Steve Dawson, this week leaves for the wild and windy sub-antarctic islands for a month-long expedition to shed more light on the nutrition of the big ocean mammals.
What insights they gain will help them discover more about how the species is faring here and around the world, along with how a warming world is affecting one of the most sensitive parts of the globe.

Environment and Industry Committee MEPs outlined their ideas on the EU’s long-term emissions reduction strategy.
Environment Committee MEPs said on Wednesday that only two of the eight scenarios (“pathways”) proposed by the European Commission in its November communication would enable the EU to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, the commitment made by the EU under the Paris climate agreement. They support the Commission in pushing for these two scenarios.
Reaching this goal in the most cost-efficient manner requires raising the 2030 emission reduction target from 40% to 55% compared to 1990 levels. They call on EU leaders to support raising the level of ambition at the EU summit in Sibiu in May 2019, ahead of the UN climate summit in September.
The EU’s net-zero strategy should prioritise direct emissions reductions and enhancing natural carbon sinks and reservoirs (such as forests). Carbon removal technologies, that have yet to be deployed on a large scale, should be used only where no direct emission reduction options are available.
In a separate text adopted on Tuesday, Industry Committee MEPs believe that renewable energy and energy efficiency are key to achieving the transition towards a net-zero GHG economy. EU leadership in these areas would demonstrate to the world that clean energy transition is both possible and beneficial. They also underline that efforts to achieve climate neutrality may be spread unevenly across the EU, as member states have different starting points.
MEPs consider that the transition towards a net-zero GHG economy also presents significant opportunities. Investment in industrial innovation, including digital technologies and clean technology, is needed to improve growth, competitiveness and create jobs e.g. in a growing circular economy and bio-economy. MEPs also underline the importance of having a predictable energy and climate policy for investors, so that they can make long-term investment decisions.
The Environment Committee resolution was adopted with 49 votes to 6, and 6 abstentions. The text from the Industry Committee was adopted with 47 votes to 4 and 6 abstentions. Both will be put to a vote by the full House during the 11-14 March plenary session in Strasbourg.

Put your grill to work in the summer. Choose vegetables that are firm enough to stay on a skewer and keep the pieces large enough so they will not fall apart once skewered.
I recommend mushrooms, onions, red and green peppers, zucchini and yellow squash a combination of any three of these works well.
1. Marinate the prepared vegetables with the marinade in a glass bowl for at least one hour up to three.
2. Divide the vegetables into four equal portions and carefully thread a skewer through each vegetable until are used. I like to start and finish with onion.
3. Preheat the grill or charcoal fire to medium- hot. Grill until edges crisp, about 2 minutes each side.

One of my favorite quotes is: Show me the friends and I’ll show you the woman.
Ive found this true throughout my life.
It was true in high school when my friends may have been less than desirable (you know, from a parental point of view) and it’s true now (where I like to think I ROCK by association. Im fortunate to have some smart sassy wise witty women in my life).
I was reminded of this quote when I dated, too.
Show me the friends and I’ll show you the man rang true (to my chagrin) 99% of the time.
For those of you on twitter what strikes me most on beaten to death Follow Fridays is the company into which people place (the royal) you.
What strikes me most is the *implied* message from the Tweeter of how they view the people they’re recommending by the groups into which they’ve placed them.
I was completely excited to be asked by Cafe Mom to be one of their Transform Your Workout Fitness Experts.
I love the opportunity to giveaway the knowledge Ive been fortunate enough to accrue & the chance to help others.
It’s why I started this blog.
I was completely excited when I was sent the list of the other women they’d selected & saw the group into which they placed me.
I hold no illusions the other women are blogging about their MizFit’citement—-but I’m still honored to be listed among them.
Show me the friends & I’ll show you the woman.
Show me the COMPANY SHE KEEPS and I’ll show you the woman.
These are two concepts I work daily to impart–on her level–to the Tornado.
Are they ideas and concepts you ponder as well?
Have you, too, noticed the friends can completely be indicative of who the man or woman really is?
I’ve never heard that before and it makes lots of sense.
That is where you belong.
I used to surrounds myself with women I wanted to be like because I though they would elevate me, too.
I realized I was not being my true self and never would be in their company.
Now I am just who I am and let those like me find me.
Uber cool!! You rock girl!!!
For me it was defintely true show me the overweight and out of shape friends and I will show you Steve.
Interesting food for thought this m orning.
I’ve been thinking a great deal about toxic friendships these days.
What a group of women to be among! I would say that it certainly shows who you are & that is a good thing!!! Very exciting!
As for Twitter – as you went down the wrong road – makes me sort of glad I don’t do it. I had enough of those games when I was in junior & high school!
I hang with many women (and men) who are out of shape/overweight because we work together. Fitness never is a topic of conversation at work because we are too busy helping children navigate the day because of their autism. I consider them some of my best friends as we have a common goal of seeing that these kids are loved and cared for throughout the day. Most “super fit” women I know locally are so into themselves and their workouts I would not care to be friends with them as they don’t have a life outside of their selfish routines.
How true, I can remember my parents quoting the “birds of a feather, flock together” line growing up.
Hopefully it is a journey and not a destination so that there may be personal growth to be had. If we are lucky, maybe we can drag some of our questionable peers down a better path with us.
I’d say “Show me her PEERS and I’ll show you the woman” The people you hang out with (those on your friends list, those who follow your blog, those who come to you for help) aren’t necessarily indicative of who you are. My first thought (even though I am not Christian) was the story of the religious leaders who came upon Jesus and criticized him for hanging with prostitutes and tax collectors. Thing is, sometimes we’re not found in the company of others like us, we’re found in the company of those who need us. And sometimes we’re found in the company of those we need.
Peers, however, are a different story, If you’re placed on equal footing with those whom you admire, that’s pretty admirable indeed.
I needed to see this today.
I was always told with regards to my friends: one bad apple ruins the bunch.
Congrats on the Cafe Mom gig.
My boys are six and Id not yet thought about imparting this idea to them.
I wonder if they could ‘get’ it yet?
THESE DAYS JILL? very little 🙂 I count some of my closet friends as people I see once or twice a year MAX.
Life is so hectic then add in kids and work and, well….
Hmmm…this is an interesting one. One that speaks to one’s self-confidence in some ways. I run with an amazing, inspiring, supportive group of women. I admire them all so much. And sometimes I wonder if I can possibly give to them what they give to me. You’ve given me more to think about now!
I love and appreciate all your insights.
What you say MissZippy1 I can entirely relate to.
Now I am more of a loner.
I don’t have many close friends.
With this quote in mind I’m not sure what this says about me.
I really think it depends on the closeness of friends as well. You can know a lot of people and be around a lot of people that just want to be near you and not necessarily the other way around.
Very nice! Congrats on the new gig!
How awesome for you!!! I do believe that about look at the friends you/they keep and you see you/them. I have been fortunate to have some amazing people stick by me for decades. I count my blessings everday for them!
Kidwise this works well, if your friends are doing X people are likely to think you are as well.
Huh – I’m not sure what this says about me. I keep a lot of very different company. On one hand I think it makes me well rounded. On the other hand though maybe it makes me a social chameleon with implied inauthenticity? Not sure… although #FF peeps generally just lump me with other fit bloggers so no complaints there. Congrats on making it in with Jackie!!
Congrats Miz!!! You fit PERFECTLY into this group! You are all strong and inspirational women!
I am doing the happy dance for you!! That’s amazing, and you absolutely belong amongst that group.
Miz, you really are an inspiration… I love the quote about how your friends illustrate who you really are! My wife and I are now hooked on your motivating blog! Thanks !
I couldn’t agree more, have lived by this quote my whole life. My mother used to say it to me.
thanks for visiting!! i love your blog and this is a great post 🙂 very cool!!

once Again, the Thurgau, in the educational policy caused a sensation. And once again, he raises an uncomfortable debate to a Problem that the schools in other German-speaking Swiss cantons. In many places, a high percentage of children gärtler speaks to bad English. Often it is children who were born in Switzerland and whose parents have been living here for a long time.
education experts agree: anyone Who starts his school career with language deficits, is also later disadvantages. In this respect, the concerns of the Thurgau Parliament is entitled to the parents in such cases, it is better in the duty – especially as the preschool consisted of language training offers. But the way the politicians want to choose, is not right.
Who starts his school career with language deficits, is also later disadvantages.
Instead, the parents punish when their kindergarten children have poor knowledge of the German language, should be provided to the course earlier and more comprehensive. The Canton of Basel-city in front of it does: It clarifies the support needs of preschool age in a systematic way. A child speaks the language of the country, too bad, it must be in a subsidised play group or nursery Language. Such a binding scheme could be introduce via the cantonal law on primary schools – this needs no amendment to the Constitution.
But the policy needs to drop their fear of a structured promotion, more early. Today, it is of interest to the municipalities often only at school entry, which conditions the children have to bring gärtler. This has especially consequences for children from migrant families are far-reaching, such as last year's national education report has shown. Thus, for example, the sec-II-graduation rate is significantly lower than those of the students from Swiss families.
Clear: early intervention costs. The great cantons of Zurich and Bern don't want to, therefore, introduce the Basel model. However, the investment would be worthwhile – not only for the individuals Concerned, and also for the whole society.
