Stroke is characterized by brain damage due to bleeding or a loss of blood supply to the brain. This often leads to long-term disability caused by symptoms such as paralysis, trouble swallowing and speaking, and loss of vision. It is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. In fact, people with stroke have a very high risk of developing a heart attack.
How common is a Stroke?
What are the symptoms and signs of a Stroke?
A stroke is often caused by an immediate loss of blood supply to the brain. This can occur by a ruptured arterial plaque in your head or neck. Sometimes blot clots originating from the heart can dislodge and travel to the brain. This is another frequent form of stroke. These types of strokes are called ischemic strokes.
Strokes may also occur as a result of brain bleeding, which often happens in the setting of high blood pressure or head injury. These forms of stroke are called hemorrhagic strokes because blood is hemorrhaging, bleeding, into the brain.
Stroke is a leading cause of death in the United States and may lead to significant disability - including paralysis and immobility. It is most frequently seen in the elderly population. This is likely because this population has a higher prevalence of high blood pressure, heart disease, and falls resulting in head injury.
Approximately 800,000 Americans have a stroke every year. 75% of these strokes occur in people who have never had a prior stroke. Stroke is considered the 5th leading cause of death in the United States and kills nearly 130,000 people annually.
Your doctor will look for abnormal signs on physical examination such as confusion, irregular pupils, increased reflexes, muscle stiffness and weakness, loss of balance, and loss of sensation.
Stroke is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical examination, and confirmed with brain imaging tests such as CT scan and MRI.
Your doctor will also likely order blood tests such as a CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel), CBC (complete blood cell count), and coagulation studies (PT/INR, PTT). They will also check your cholesterol levels and screen for diabetes.
Another important test is an EKG (electrocardiogram), ultrasound of the neck, and ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram).
The treatment of stroke depends on whether your stroke is caused by brain bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke) or a sudden interruption of blood supply to the brain (ischemic stroke).
Depending on its severity, a hemorrhagic stroke may be managed by closely observing the patients in the hospital and obtaining regular brain scans to evaluate the progression of the bleed. Significant bleeding often requires brain surgery to stop the bleeding and reduce pressure in the brain cavity.
Strokes caused by a sudden loss of blood supply to the brain are treated differently than brain bleeds.
After a CT scan of the head is obtained to rule out a brain bleed, most patients with ischemic stroke typically receive a medication called Alteplase (tissue plasminogen activator) that rapidly thins the blood and opens up the artery to your brain.
Patients with an ischemic stroke are monitored very closely in the hospital because they may develop seizures, brain swelling, and even bleeding into the brain. As we mentioned, stroke is also frequently associated with heart attacks, which is another reason patients are closely monitored.
After leaving the hospital, patients frequently require physical therapy at a skilled nursing facility. They may also need speech and swallow therapy to help prevent choking on food (aspiration). Their diet may need to be modified to reduce the risk of aspiration.
Stroke is a very common condition characterized by sudden paralysis, confusion, trouble swallowing/speaking, loss of vision, loss of sensation, and headache.
Stroke is often caused by a sudden interruption in the blood supply to the brain usually resulting from ruptured arterial plaques or blood clots traveling to the brain.
Stroke is also frequently caused by brain bleeds or hemorrhage.
Risk factors include high blood pressure, advanced age, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, and history of previous stroke or heart attack.
Diagnosis is usually confirmed with a head CT or MRI.
Complications of a stroke include permanent disability, inability to walk or perform daily activities, pneumonia, memory loss and changes in behavior.
Brain bleeds may require immediate surgery to stop the hemorrhage and prevent brain swelling and damage.
Ischemic strokes are usually treated with Alteplase.
Long-term medical therapy for a stroke and stroke prevention include antiplatelet agents (Aspirin, Plavix), cholesterol-lowering therapy (Lipitor, Pravachol).
Blood pressure medications such as Zestril and Cozaar may also be beneficial.
Patients may require physical therapy and speech/swallow therapy.

Stephen Harper chose the Calgary Stampede (now Rachel Notley country) to launch the theme of the now full-blown election campaign. Harper proclaimed he was confident that "this October Canadians will choose security over risk." Let's hope so. The question is, of course, what kind of security and risk are we talking about? Political language is never simple or straightforward. It is subject to sophisticated manipulation by professional wordsmiths and public relations experts. The choice of what language to use is subject to hundreds of hours of deliberation and enormous resources because if you get it right, you usually win. If you get it wrong, well, it's a lot harder. Getting it right means no one even suspects you of manipulating them.
Experts in the art of issue framing will tell you that those who frame an issue first have a huge advantage because they force their opponents to reframe it -- in other words, get you to take the time to reconsider what the words actually mean. Maybe that is why neither the Liberals nor the NDP have taken the trouble to challenge Harper's framing of the security issue as exclusively a foreign policy and military issue: security against terrorism.
That's unfortunate because not only is Harper vulnerable on his own limited anti-terror grounds, he is extremely vulnerable when it comes to the kind of security that actually affects millions of Canadians. When it comes to economic and social security, the vast majority of Canadians haven't been this insecure since the Great Depression.
It's not as if we don't know the numbers -- 60 per cent of Canadians just two weeks away from financial crisis if they lose their job; record-high personal indebtedness; real wages virtually flat for the past 25 years; a terrible work-life balance situation for most working people (and getting worse); labour standard protections that now exist only on paper; the second-highest percentage of low-paying jobs in the OECD; young people forced into working for nothing on phony apprenticeships; levels of economic (both income and wealth) inequality not seen since 1928. Throw in the diminishing "social wage" (medicare, education, home care, child care, etc.) and the situation is truly grim.
Most of these insecurity statistics are rooted either directly or indirectly in 25 years of deliberate government policy designed by and for corporations. Governments have gradually jettisoned their responsibility for economic security, slowly but surely handing this critical feature of every Canadian's life over to the "market" for determination. Economic policy has been surgically excised from government responsibility to citizens and is now in the singular category of "facilitating investment" -- a euphemism for clearing the way for corporations to engage in whatever activity enhances their bottom line.
From corporate rights agreements (which constitutionalize corporate power), to the decades-old "independence" of the Bank of Canada (independent of democracy); from irresponsibly low corporate income tax rates to punitively low social assistance; from EI that only 30 per cent ever qualify for to taxes grossly skewed in favour of the wealthy and a Charter of Rights and Freedoms that has bestowed citizenship status on the most powerful and ruthless economic entities on the planet, Canadian governments have abandoned their citizens to the vagaries of an increasingly unregulated capitalism. This is not even a complete list but it demonstrates just how corporate globalization and its promoters like Stephen Harper have created the greatest insecurity for Canadians virtually in living memory.
The brilliance of the project hiving economic security off from democratic governance is that it has been so gradual and systematic that we have all come to accept it as if it were ordained by nature. There are no angry anti-austerity marches here and as a result there is no political party basing its platform on such a sentiment (the NDP seems desperate to mimic the Conservatives' and Liberals' dedication to balanced-budget idiocy). We have never been so fearful of our economic future, but we have been convinced that we (even those of us with full-time, low-paying jobs headed for the food banks to make ends meet) are somehow to blame.
As for the kind of security Harper likes to talk about, we are in fact less secure now under the Conservatives' policies than we have ever been. Harper's foreign policy could easily make us targets for the very "jihadists" that Harper rails on about. His eager involvement in the destruction of Libya, his aggressive stance in Afghanistan, the carte blanche he provides Israel in its brutal oppression of Palestinians in Gaza and the illegal occupation of the West Bank and his comically ineffective "engagement" in the war on ISIL all contribute to terrorists identifying Canada as a reasonable target for retribution. If we actually had some smattering of national interests in the Middle East it could be argued that the risk is worth it. But we don't. The net result is not only increased national insecurity but the trampling of our rights to privacy and our civil liberties with Bill C51 -- legislation that does nothing to enhance our defence against terror but dramatically undermines our personal security as citizens.
The Harper Conservatives could still eke out a minority government in the October 19th election. If they do it unchallenged on their fraudulent promotion of enhanced security for Canadians, the NDP and Liberals will have no one to blame but themselves.
Canada is a country where a third of citizens believe in Harper's fiscal self-flagellation, in an extremist religion that calls upon us all to deliberately impoverish ourselves. Why?
The numbers are clear. Harper economics lead to a Harper deficit.
Confirmation that federal government finances have fallen back into deficit raises more questions about Harper's image, now more myth than reality, as a sound economic manager.

The secret may slowly be getting out about Comporta – the effortlessly chic seaside town just an hour south of Lisbon – but for now it still retains its quiet charms. Perched on the Atlantic coast, head here for a weekend of tranquillity and simplicity: think blue skies, golden beaches and a glass or two of excellent Portuguese wine.
How to get there: Flights from London to Lisbon are just under three hours. Comporta is a 70-minute drive from Lisbon airport.
Where to stay: The impeccable Casas na Areia started life as a weekend house but has ended up as a unique small hotel. Fully embracing its beachfront location, soft sand replaces traditional floors, juxtaposing beautifully with fresh, sleek interiors.
Slip out of the hectic hubbub of Marrakech and make a beeline for laid-back Essaouira. This historic port city is well-loved by surfers and backpackers, but a new set of travellers are discovering its atmospheric charms. Along with rich cultural offerings, Essaouira is the perfect active beach escape, as strong winds whip up waves for surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing along the city’s wide crescent beach.
How to get there: Fly directly from London Luton to Essaouira (approximately three hours).
Where to stay: Soak up those ocean views with a stay at Madada Mogador. Set in an enviable location poised between the ancient medina and the beach (make sure to nab a room with a private ocean-facing terrace), the hotel also offers yoga classes for a truly blissed out stay.
Fancy being a multitasking maestro this Bank Holiday? Savvy sleepers can pack in a 6,000 mile trip with an overnight flight to Cape Town. With only a minor time-zone change (GMT+2), hit the ground running with a hike up Table Mountain to get the lay of the land. Back down in the city, set off to find your own slice of paradise along the rugged coastline; where mountains, sand and sea make for dramatic vistas around every corner – more than justifying that 12-hour flight.
How to get there: Flights from London to Cape Town are just under 12 hours.
Where to stay: Prepare for some seriously eye-widening views upon checking into Cape View Clifton. This intimate hotel has just seven bedrooms and suites, making it feel like you’re stepping into a friend’s (unbelievably) alluring home.

Hey everybody. So in case you haven’t heard there’s a new kid on the block for fire and EMS training in the conference setting. Go>Forward Fire and Leadership Training is hosting their inaugural training conferences coming up later this year. If Go>Forward looks familiar it’s because it is to many of you. Go>Forward Fire Training is a division of G0>Forward Media which created FireEMSBlogs.com web-world, JEMS magazine’s web-world and Law Officer magazine’s web-world. They also own and operate Fire-Rescue magazine and its website. Many of the blogs you and I visit on a regular basis are a part of the Fire EMS Blogs community and of course many of you are familiar with their print-work from the magazines.
So, Go>Forward branched out and partnered with Firefighternation.com and FireEMSBlogs.com to really trying to revolutionize the way a conference style learning experience happens. They are not trying to copy or out-do FDIC, Fire-Rescue International, Fire House Expo or any of our other trade conferences. They are trying to take training at these conferences in a whole new direction. You know how it goes. You register for one of the big trade shows and pay a fairly sizable fee. Then you have to try and find an available hotel room, again at an inflated cost. Then you have to try and get into the classes you want. When you do get into a class you may be one of several hundred in the room or at the hands-on and your learning experience may be less than optimal. Go>Forward is looking to change all that. They are looking for a smaller, more affordable, more intimate venue with smaller class sizes for both lecture and hands-on. More one-on-one instructor-student time and interaction and the development of a relationship between the two that hopefully lasts well after the conference has ended. It is going to be dynamic, exciting, informative and hopefully groundbreaking.
So why the big plug? Well, here’s where the big announcement comes in. Go>Forward has asked Hallway Sledge himself to be a presenter at the very first conference that is to be held October 21 – 23 in St. Charles, Missouri at the AmeriStar Hotel, Resort and Casino. Check out the announcement on Go>Forward’s event page here. The conference has been appropriately named the Gateway Midwest Fire & Leadership Conference and will feature some of the top names in our industry such as Alan Brunacini, Tim Sendelbach and Brotherhood Instructors. Oh, yeah and my name will be on there too. I know what you just did. You did the, “Oh snap!” head thing and said, “What did you say Sledge? Your name?” Yup folks, the veil of secrecy is going to come off. If you attend the conference you can say you were among the first to find out who Hallway Sledge really is! This will more than likely result in some changes to the website, but that’s ok. I really don’t mind at this point.
‘Ole Sledge is going to be making a presentation entitled, “Selling Out to the Fire Service,” which will examine doing exactly that. Selling yourself out to our beloved job and committing fully to it. I have designed this class to be applicable to everyone from the Explorer or Junior firefighter to the 25+ year vet to the Chief himself. It will examine why we all got into this line or work, why we should have gotten into this line of work, respect for the job, ourselves and our peers as well as those we serve. I will hopefully be able to ignite some fire in our younger members and maybe re-ignite the spark in some of us that have been around the block a time or two. Don’t worry. It won’t be death by PowerPoint or anything. I’m hoping to make it an interesting lecture with stories, true examples and analogies and maybe even some class participation. The great thing about the way Go>Forward has designed the conference is that once I give my witty last line of the presentation I’m not going anywhere. They have built-in a 2 hour block of time for the presenter and the students to hang-out, chat, meet each other, network and ask questions and hopefully learn from each other. I’m excited. I hope to finally meet some of you and to learn from you as well. I really think it is going to be not only worthwhile but a great time as well.
So, go check out Go>Forward’s event page, sign up for the conference and we’ll see you there!

ARGT tracks a market-cap weighted index of at least 25 companies headquartered or listed in Argentina and carry out the majority of their operations in Argentina.
ARGT changed it underlying index to the MSCI All Argentina 25/50 Index on 8/15/2014. The fund's portfolio now offers broader exposure to the Argentine equity market than our segment benchmark, which tracks just 10 names. That's only made possible by now including Argentine firms traded overseas. This makes the fund a poor Fit to the market, at least compared with our narrow benchmark. Still, with this approach you get access to four sectors not covered by our benchmark (industrials, basic materials, consumer cyclicals and technology), and big cuts to energy and financials. The fund isn't easy or cheap to trade.
The MSCI ESG Fund Quality Score measures the ability of ETF underlying holdings to manage key medium to long-term risks and opportunities arising from environmental, social, and governance factors, as determined by MSCI ESG Research LLC. As of April 21, 2019 the Global X MSCI Argentina ETF MSCI ESG Fund Quality Score is 4.12 out of 10.
The fund’s Peer Rank reflects the ranking of a fund’s MSCI ESG Fund Quality Score against the scores of other funds within the same peer group, as defined by the Thomson Reuters Lipper Global Classification. ARGT ranks in the 28th percentile within its peer group and in the 10th percentile within the global universe of all funds in MSCI ESG Fund Metrics coverage.
This measurement shows how easy it is to trade a $1 million USD block of ARGT. ARGT is rated a 3 out of 5.

“That’s why the whole idea was to prepare it for privatisation,” he said.
Minister Smith pointed out that the reason why BTC has continued to earn profits over the years is because it is a monopoly.
“They are fooling themselves if they think you could remove the monopoly and leave it open to competition,” said the Minister, who was referring to critics who say BTC can become more efficient and survive without privatisation.
The original process that was started about five years ago has to be brought to a successful, legal ending, he noted.
“By that I mean we had put in place certain rules and regulations for privatisation and we went through with that and the very last thing now is to have a public announcement and to amend the public policy statement which we put in accordance with the Act,” Minister Smith said.
While on the same programme several weeks ago, Lindbergh Smith, president of Blue Telecommunications, indicated that his company was willing to pay as much as $300 million for 49 percent of the shares in BTC.
Blue was the last bidder to be kicked out of the race to purchase minority ownership in the company late last year.
Asked if the government would be willing to accept that offer, Minister Smith said he didn’t want to comment specifically on any one group.

This is your host Derek Gehl, and today we�re going to be diving deep into LinkedIn marketing and LinkedIn lead generation.
Today�s guest is just the LinkedIn expert we need to put you on the right path to leveraging LinkedIn lead generation to grow your business. She�s an online marketing consultant, and author who�s been quoted in numerous publications like Entrepreneur.com, Inc and Forbes.
She is the founder of Wizard media, an online marketing agency that helps businesses significantly increase the amount of leads they generate through search engine marketing, and LinkedIn lead generation of course.
Providing an average ROI of 300% which is pretty spectacular. She�s grown her own company primarily through LinkedIn lead generation and has taught thousands of entrepreneurs and businesses worldwide her proven LinkedIn lead generation marketing strategies.
Without further ado, I would like to welcome Jimena Cortes to the show.
As an early age entrepreneur, Jimena learned that the most crucial part of business development and growth is strategic marketing. After learning various facets of online and relationship marketing, from search engine optimization, to paid traffic, webinars, and LinkedIn, Jimena became very proficient at generating leads. However, while that is one of the most important parts of a business, there are many other areas of business that must be systemized and properly implemented for the business to flourish. Overtime, in order to grow her own business, Jimena had to put these systems and team members in place, and now helps client partners grow their companies as well by helping them implement these strategies.
The art of sales and marketing are the lifeblood of any business. Without a solid revenue generation process, you cannot pay for everything you must have in order to be in business. Without generating leads on a CONSISTENT basis and converting those leads into buyers and repeat buyers, a business cannot survive. Having the right marketing plan in place, implementing it correctly, measuring and tracking your results, and improving over time is a science and a necessity, one that many businesses simply don�t do. This is why Jimena helps her clients craft the right message, put in place the correct strategies, track results and improve based on our numbers. This ensures that the business has the lifeblood it needs.
Once your marketing and sales processes are in place, and you are consistently getting new clients, you must have the right infrastructure and a process of delegation in place to service those clients. Putting the right people in the right positions is imperative to sustaining growth.
Without the right people and processes in place, a business will struggle to keep up with demand, and in turn develop inconsistencies resulting a negative impact on client retention and sustainability. Jimena helps her clients not only generate more leads and sales, but also put the right processes in place to manage phases of growth.

The Hall of Fame is one of my favorite parts of Wrestlemania weekend. It's a great time to see some of the old timers come back and talk about things way back when. Luckily, my friend Chad and I have been able to attend the last several ceremonies.
And we'll be back this year. When I heard last night that they'd be announcing the first inducted in the Class of 2011, I figured they'd be going for someone big to attract a big crowd, as tickets go on sale Saturday. Then when the "King" said at the beginning of Raw that it was one of the greatest superstars of all time, I figured it would be have to be someone huge.
I think the WWE delivered with the announcement that Shawn Michaels is going in this year. I'll admit I was surprised. I had figured (based mostly on the online rumors) that it would be someone from WCW. Perhaps Goldberg or Lex Luger or even the elusive Sting.
My first reaction was also semi disappointment. And not because I don't think Shawn has a spot in the Hall of Fame. I've written before about the length of time a performer is done in the ring to the time they're inducted. I guess there are no real rules here, as we saw Ric Flair get inducted the night BEFORE his "last" match.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense for it to be Shawn. He is still fresh in the minds of fans. Did you hear how they popped when he came out? I think he'll definitely put "asses in the seats." I also came to realize today that I've been there for some of Shawn's biggest matches. At least the ones of the "second half" of his career. We were at Wrestlemania 24 for his match against Flair. Then at Wrestlemania 25 his first attempt to end the Undertaker's streak. And finally at Wrestlemania 26, Shawn's final match.
I'd also like to mention that I was at the first Hell in the Cell encounter between 'Taker and HBK back in 1997. It was the In Your House: Badd (yes two D's) Blood pay per view in St. Louis.
So Shawn deserves to be in the hall, no doubt. Even when he left the first time in 1998, I think he'd accomplished more than enough to be inducted. The second time around he raised the bar and solidified his legacy. While the mark in me was hoping that this year's "1st Ballot" choice would have been "Macho Man" Randy Savage, I'm glad Shawn is getting inducted and can't wait to hear his speech in Atlanta.

Food Endeavours of the Blue Apocalypse: A Citrus Attack!
I find the acidic taste of lemons refreshing.
Having any type dessert/baked good with lemon in it is always a delight – lemon tart, lemon slice, lemon cheesecake, lemon custard, lemon sorbet…the list could go on.
I wanted to make some lemon cupcakes.
When I want to cook something that I haven’t made before, I will do a search for several recipes online. Then I collate all the information together to find out what the main elements of the dish are, and then adapt/create my own recipe for it.
If a dish has lemon in it – I believe that it should pack a punch!
Lemon yoghurt cupcakes + lemon syrup + lemon cream cheese frosting + candied orange peels + a sprinkle of lemon zest on top = A Citrus Attack!
These cupcakes require 3 eggs, separated into yolks and whites.
Sift 1 ¼ cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and ½ of baking soda into a bowl.
Beat 225g of softened butter and 1 cup of caster sugar together in a bowl until smooth and fluffy.
Add in the egg yolks one at a time and beat the egg into the mixture after each addition.
Then beat in 1 ½ tablespoon of finely grated lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Using a spatula, fold in the flour mixture into the butter/sugar/egg yolk mixture, alternating with some yoghurt (around 1 Cup).
Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until it forms soft peaks. Then fold the egg whites into the mixture.
Fill cupcake pans 2/3 full and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Side note: You cannot buy any decent yoghurt from any of the big supermarkets! There is a lack of variety and 90% of the stock is fat free or 97% fat free. I live in Highgate with a Fresh Provisions nearby in Mount Lawley and they have a fantastic range of yoghurt – full cream, organic, goats, cow, sheep’s yoghurt - the lot.
Put 1/3 cup of lemon syrup and 1/3 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over low-med heat stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup is clear. Remove from heat and set aside.
Beat around 125g of cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Slowly add in some icing sugar and lemon juice until you have a thick frosting to your desired taste (I used around 1/3 cup of lemon juice and 2/3 to 1 cup of icing sugar).
In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup of water and ¼ cup of water over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Then add in 1/3 cup of orange peels. Once the syrup gets thicker and boils with big bubbles, time it and cook for another minutes. Then take it off the heat. Using a spoon, continue stirring it, it will slowly crystallise and the syrup will become white as it goes back to sugar crystals. Keep stirring and don’t let it solidify into one big candy. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then pick out the sugared peels.
Once the cupcakes come out of the oven, use a toothpick to poke a few holes in the middle of each cupcake. Then carefully spoon a teaspoon of lemon syrup onto the middle of each cupcake allowing it to seep into the cupcake (the heat from the cupcakes draw in the syrup so that the insides are saturated with lemony flavour, therefore you need to add the lemon syrup while the cupcakes are still warm).
Let the cupcakes cool and then spread the lemon cream cheese frosting over the cupcakes. Add a few pieces of candied orange peels on top and sprinkle a little lemon zest.
VERDICT: The cupcakes tasted amazing! The cupcakes were wonderfully moist due to the use of yoghurt. All the citrus elements were not overwhelming. I decided to add only little lemon syrup to the middle of the cupcake so that the first bite you take gives you a taste of the lovely lemon yoghurt cake and then with the second bite into the middle of the cupcake you are hit with some zing from the lemon syrup!
Third Party Approval - I made these cupcakes to take to my work morning tea and my colleagues loved them. I thought that for some people it might have been a citrus overload but the feedback that I got was that the balance was good and they tasted great!

It has made grants totalling £107,000 over the past year alone, to over 275 cases. Cases vary from assistance to soldiers on operations in Afghanistan to helping Old Comrades and their families. Each case is judged on its own merits. Casework is initially handled by a Caseworker from the Soldiers, Sailors and Air Force Association (SSAFA) or The Royal British Legion, who visit the applicant and discuss their needs and background details. The case is then sent to Regimental Headquarters where the Benevolent Committee sits in consideration. It is aimed to turn casework around in 24 hours as the needs are invariably urgent.

Home NewsNews ArchivePRO CARTON ECMA AWARD: HERE ARE THE WINNERS!
PRO CARTON ECMA AWARD: HERE ARE THE WINNERS!
More than one hundred entries, including many fantastic innovations, delighted the jury of the Pro Carton ECMA Award this year. The focus was on the unique sustainability of cartonboard: numerous innovative concepts were devoted to cartonboard as a replacement for other materials in order to find more sustainable packaging solutions for the future.
The festive Award Gala on 10th September 2015 was the eagerly awaited highlight of the ECMA Congress in Bucharest. The Coronation Hall of the former Royal Palace, today’s National Museum, provided an elegant backdrop. The evening was rounded off with Romanian folklore presentations.
The finalists were already announced in August. The Awards were presented in the seven categories together with the three main prizes: “Carton of the Year“, “Most Innovative“ and “Sustainability“. The certificates and trophies were presented by Roland Rex, President Pro Carton, Dr. Andreas Blaschke, President ECMA, and Satkar Gidda, Chairman of the Jury.
“Carton of the Year“ was awarded to the cosmetic packaging for “Ambuja“: few packaging solutions express the value of the contents so instantly – with exceptional elegance in terms of colour design as well as perfect choreography between opening and closing. An audible click when closing underlines the unique feeling of holding a valuable product in your hands.
The “Most Innovative“ Award went to a novel egg pack; ” García Puente free-range eggs “. This demonstrated completely new thinking for a classical product. The carton is original and creative and yet combines all the advantages of classical packaging. Safety and simplicity dictated the design. For the client it was love at first sight.
This time, maximum sustainability went to “Fazer Alku new mill products“, which won the Sustainability Award. This entirely new solution in this product segment demonstrates decisive progress: goodbye to the irritating plastic bag inside the pack, which had a negative impact both on convenience and the value perception of the product. The resealability of the pack is a further wonderful solution.
As always, the jury represented all areas of the Packaging Supply Chain: Satkar Gidda (Chairman of the Jury) was responsible for design and marketing – together with Susanne Lippitsch, Stan Akkermans (Mars) and Wilfried Duivenvoorden (Unilever) representing the brands, Lotte Krekels (Carrefour) added input from a retailer’s perspective and Peter Klein Sprokkelhorst served as technical consultant to the jury, focussing on the technical refinements of the submitted packs.
All partners in the Packaging Supply Chain – designers, brand owners, retailers as well as the cartonboard and carton industry – are cordially invited to participate with entries (again) in the coming year. As always, the date for submissions starts at the end of February and the deadline is 26th May 2016.

(BPT) – Americans love barbecue — we just can’t help it. One whiff of that smoky meat is all many people need before their mouths start to water and they crave a stack of tender ribs. The food industry has taken notice, as smoked foods are all the rage these days. New BBQ joints are popping up all over the U.S., and even restaurants that don’t specialize in smoked foods are finding ways to incorporate them into the menu.
While smoked meats are delicious, they haven’t always been the most convenient food to cook at home. The traditional method of “low and slow cooking” with charcoal or wood not only requires practice to master, but a lot of time and attention during the cooking process — it’s not uncommon for people to spend the entire day tending to their smokers.
Thank goodness there is a new generation of high-performance, low-maintenance smokers — like the new Char-Broil Digital Electric Smokers — that are giving everyone from pitmasters to those new to smoking, an easy way to smoke foods at home. Designed to address many of the challenges that barbecue-lovers found with traditional smokers, the Char-Broil Digital Electric Smoker 725 and 725 Deluxe are easy to control and make great-tasting food. Most importantly, they can be used on patios, balconies and rooftop terraces of all sizes so lack of outdoor space is no longer an issue.
The biggest hassle of slow-cooking barbecue is regularly checking the meat’s temperature. The Char-Broil Digital Electric Smokers solve this problem by offering an integrated temperature probe that displays the meat’s temperature, making it easy to monitor throughout the cooking cycle.
Even experienced meat smokers have to be careful not to overcook the food. The integrated meat temperature probe lets you set a designated finished meat temperature. As soon as you reach that pre-set temp, the smoker alerts you and then turns down the heat so your items stay at the perfect point of doneness until you’re ready to serve them.
With four removable cooking racks that can be rearranged to accommodate several different sized items at once, you can smoke a variety of foods — from meats to vegetables to nuts — at one time.
The combination of the temperature probe and large capacity wood chip box lets you smoke up to six hours without adding chips so you don’t have to spend all day hovering over your meat to ensure its cooked properly. Set the temperature and take some time to do projects around the house or relax on a Saturday afternoon watching the big game.
Why make barbecuing harder than it has to be? Consider buying a digital electric smoker so you can get the same smoky flavor you love without all the hassle. Learn more about the benefits of electric smokers at http://www.charbroil.com/community/digital-electric-smoker/.

So today I’m reintroducing some foods from the forbidden Legume group, in particular peanuts and hummus. I’ve never been a big bean eater, so I’m not worrying about the magical fruit for now, sticking with things I do enjoy eating to check and see how the fit in with my newfound awesomeness.
Yesterday it was California Blend and pulled pork. This morning it was carrots, guacamole, and sliced chicken apple sausage. Breakfast power!
Side note, we did NOT share a bottle of wine last night. By the time the kids were in bed and house prepped for tomorrow, I was perfectly content to celebrate my success by breaking out a new-to-me flavor of La Croix (orange!) and hanging out with Hulk on the couch while watching the aquarium and catching up on our days. Maybe this weekend? The beauty is that the decision can always be made again tomorrow!
That’s all for now, go make it a great day!

Arranging a cross-border shipment to and from Canada, can seem like a daunting task but if you’re prepared and know to expect, you can streamline your process and make sure they go off without a hitch.
Insufficient Documentation - It is crucial a driver is given the necessary completed customs paperwork in order to cross the border with the freight. Without this documentation, the freight will be held up at the border until the customs paperwork is approved, applicable duties & fees are paid, and the broker signs off for passage.
Unprepared Drivers - Not only does your driver need completed customs paperwork, they also need their passport. If your driver has a criminal record, or previous border infractions, they may be prevented from crossing the border.
Restricted Items - Certain items and products are not able to transported into Canada from the US. Be sure to check that your freight doesn’t fall into one of the following categories: Firearms, ammunition, used motor goods and parts thereof, seeds, products requiring special licensing or inspection, tobacco products, medical supplies, etc. If you’re not sure, contacting your Customs Broker is the best way to find out.
If you limit yourself to the same regional carriers when booking cross-border shipments you may end up paying inflated prices. However, Freightview will save your shipping data so you can use that raw data to your benefit for negotiating better rates with your carriers.
You are not likely to get same day service for a cross-border shipment. It takes time to find a carrier, schedule a pickup, and make sure all proper documentation is in order. It is important to have realistic expectations with these shipments.
Some carriers will charge a ‘cross-border charge,’ inspections fees, or something similar on these kinds of shipments. They usually aren’t very expensive, but they can add up. Each carrier has it’s own guidelines, so it’s best to refer to their rules tariff or talk to your carrier representative for more details.
Whether you’re shipping cross-border to Canada, or domestic, Freightview can help you streamline the process. Sign up for a free trial today.

Every Sunday on a Big Brother show expected to see the eviction of a house mate or maybe two, and Sunday, January 29, 2017, wasn’t an exception for Big Brother Naija. However, Big Brother had previously announced a twist; though the House mates were oblivious of the fact, two house mates will be joining the house, and no one will be evicted from the show this Sunday.
During the week, CoCoIce, Bally, TBoss, Kemen and Miyonse were nominated for possible eviction. Uriel had used her Head of House power to save Miyonse and replaced him with Marvis. The Sunday, January 29, Live show stared with the fake eviction of Marvis and Tboss. Biggie instructed the two nervous house mates to wait in the arena for further instructions.
As promised, two new house mates joined the house – Debie-Rise and Bassey. ‘ A self-professed tomboy. Debie-Rise studied Computer Science. She participated and took the second spot in the Nigerian Idol reality show. She speaks both Yoruba and Hausa, plays football, loves dancing and Taekwondo. She’s a bonafide fitness freak who dreams of being a part of Nollywood someday.
The 14th house mate to join the house is Bassey, who comes from a large family but sadly lost his mom seven years ago. He learnt to fend for himself from a young age and later studied Theatre Arts at The University of Calabar with Acting as his major. He is single and believes professions of love that aren’t backed up by deeds are pointless. He loves interacting with other gifted people. While Debbie received a cold welcome from the house mates, Bassey was warmly welcomed.
Finally, Marvis and Tboss were informed that the eviction was a fake one and they were safe to return to the house. This week will be the start of the official nominations and the first house mate (s) will be evicted on Sunday February 5, 2017. The reality series which will run for 78 days is hosted by Nigerian lawyer and media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, who was a house mate in the maiden edition of the show, 10 years ago.

The slogan "If you want to get something done right, you have to do it yourself reflects the independent spirit of Americans.
In some situations, the rugged Rambo is the best solution. The overwhelming needs of a programmed multiple who has not just cities but worlds of alters are too much fora single support person. The overwhelming needs of the multiple to stay safe hours a day are too much fora single support person. The skills needed to tackle the challenges soon wear out a single person.
There is great wisdom is setting up teams (whether formal or informal) to work with programmed multiples. Fritz and I have done this quite a few times in therapy. The rewards have been extremely gratifying. We still have a great deal to learn. Fritz and I are working as a team on this book and on this article.
when work was done with our gatekeepers who were locked up in heavy programming the goal was "To discover the true self."
When goals are chosen they need to be results, not activities.
The victim and the team will perform best if they have goals.
because the foundation of the team is performance. If the team performs, it will build everyone up, and foster more team spirit.
Page 383 various specialists occurs. One person on the support team can reward the alter system when they achieve a goal. A trip to an aquarium, or to a park, or something special that the alter system has never been able to do maybe a significant reward.
to find a situation where they show to themselves their new growth. At present some therapists are working several days alone to achieve major breakthroughs, at least this is what has been reported. However, we have never heard of any followup for these victims. Without proper followup and long term protection and long-term work, we seriously doubt that much will really be accomplished beyond an impressive yo-yo effect.
The Mungadze Association (817-354-1389) & Care, Inc, are groups using Christian principles & support teams & safe houses to help programmed multiples. The two groups are some of the best examples of what has been done. Who is qualified fora team The most important criteria is commitment to the goal. If someone is seriously committed to contribute toward a common team goal, then they are worth having on the team. But Americans (including the American churches) tend to want short term answers. Short-term patchwork jobs just do not holdup in deprogramming slaves.
team member can’t do a job halfway and then decide that they are finished. Nor should other members try to push other team members off the team before the goal is achieved) That doesn’t mean the structure can’t be flexible. A team should be what is needed for the job. Numbers are not important, commitment is.
where there is no rule "Don’t do anything wrong" Everyone on the team will make mistakes, but that is OK. because those mistakes can be learned from and can promote personal growth.
Page 384 the personal growth of its members too. The team should not waste time on small risks, but go for the gusto. Be creative.
Create an informal environment where everyone is relaxed.
Take risks, but don’t be foolhardy daredevils. The team needs to be committed to new innovations. Pride in what a member knows will go before the fall. Programmed multiple systems are full of surprises. What if team members argue Get them together immediately and ask them how this conflict is going to help the victim "Lets work together. The victim needs to seethe people she looks up to being committed to the victim’s freedom, and not some non-relevant viewpoint" Competition between the team members will be counterproductive. The team is not being assembled to win a contest or a race. The victim will contribute lots of ideas, and a great deal of sensitivity and patience needs to be forthcoming from the support team to allow the recovering victim to be the center of the teamwork. However, an alter system is not setup to help itself, and it will need some external input. Devote time to what is successful. Brainstorm alternatives. Ask team members how they feel they can contribute to a goal. Ask the client, "What would you like to do that we aren’t doing" If the place to work provides a nearby spot to relax, it will provide the client and the rest of the support team a chance to relax and diffuse some of the tension. The means creatively looking for good safe houses or good offices to use for therapy. Treat each other on the team with equality. This doesn’t mean that a person’s skills are not to be respected, it means that all have a shared sense of mission and all are important. The example of teamwork and cooperation will also be beneficial for the alters. It will give them examples to build on, that they can apply to creating internal cooperation. Somehow the team needs to give space so that members can vent their concerns. Some of the problems therapeutic teams can develop is when concerns are stifled.
This means others must be restrained from interrupting.
this reason, goals can be stated but particular methods are best devised as the process unfolds. It is not productive to make the recovering victim feel powerless. On the flip side, some alter systems will entertain a spirit of control, and this spirit will have to be firmiy and gently rebuked. As the team works on their goal, they will have to navigate through the following rapids, how do we deal with differences of opinion, What do we do when one is upset, What do other team members like?
Safety, the Victim getting to know themselves, Building the positives, and dismantling foundation programming & the PDE.
without being stopped. Fritz & I hope that we have stimulated you to investigate forming a support team for your general geographic area. We welcome your comments and questions in this area.

Divided into three segments, improvements include widening this section of I-64 from a four-lane section to six-lanes for approximately 21 miles, starting west of Jefferson Avenue (Exit 255) in Newport News to just west of Newman Road (Exit 234) in York County.
The Virginia Department of Transportation determined that the use of design-build contracting for this project will expedite delivery and ensure timely authorization of funding.
The design-builder will be able to perform final design, right of way acquisition and utility relocation and some construction activities concurrently.
This project contributes to the Preferred Alternative and contributes to the Purpose and Need elements outlined in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).

Read about the latest project news on the News and Information page.
How will traffic be affected during construction? Will construction take place at night?
To minimize inconvenience to motorists, no daytime lane closures are planned at this time.
Lane closures and construction information will be announced weekly throughout the duration of the project.
Two lanes in each direction will be maintained throughout construction during the day, with temporary lane closures at night as needed.
The design-builder will develop detailed plans for maintenance of traffic, which may include shifting traffic towards the existing outside shoulder during construction.
Emergency pull off areas for disabled vehicles will be provided as required.
Will there be trees left in the median? What type of landscaping will be used?
The trees in the median space will be addressed on a case-by-case basis to accommodate stormwater management and cut and fill slopes. The raised median with concrete barriers will utilize context-sensitive design with low maintenance shrubs or bushes.
Will the interchanges be upgraded?
Modifications to the interchanges are not included as part of this project. However, interchange operations will benefit from the additional capacity of the new lanes on I-64 and the lengthening of the acceleration and deceleration ramps.
How will traffic be impacted on the side roads within the project corridor?
Long-term lane closures will be required on Penniman Road (Route 641), Jefferson Avenue (Route. 143) and Yorktown Road (Route 238).
These closures are required for bridge pier construction to accommodate the proposed widened roadway section for I-64.
Will the interchange ramps be affected during construction?
Yes, there will be some impacts to the interchange ramps during construction to reconstruct the existing pavement.
This may include some nighttime ramp closures. These will be publicized in advance.
When will construction begin and how long will the project take to complete?
Segment I: Construction began in September 2015, and is expected to be complete by December 2017.
Segment II Construction began in 2016, and is expected to be complete by July 2019.
Segment III: Construction is scheduled to begin in 2018, and is expected to be complete by 2021.
Will the project include fixing the existing travel lanes?
Yes, the existing pavement will be replaced.
Will construction of Segment II overlap with that of Segment I?
Yes, major construction activities within both projects will overlap by approximately one year.
Sign up to receive I-64 Widening Project information by email.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced today construction has started on the first of three segments to widen Interstate 64. The first segment is a $122 million project that will add a lane and shoulder in each direction for 5.6 miles between Jefferson Avenue and Yorktown Road.

Get ready for some fresh info as we talk about a firm that specializes in econometrics, statistics, antitrust, and specifically advanced econometric modelling. Bates White Economic Consulting is a highly reputable boutique firm that has been gathering momentum in recent years.
If you are one of those econ fanatics (ahem: nerds) who dig economics, statistics, and antitrust policies, Bates White may be the firm you’ve been searching for your whole life.
Founded in 1999 by Charles Bates and Halbert White, Bates White’s goal has always been to set the bar as high as possible when it comes to excellence. Before founding Bates White, current Chairman Charles Bates was the Vice President of A.T. Kearney and prior to his stint there, he was a partner at KPMG.
As if he wasn’t already impressive enough, he also led a team that provided expert services during the Vitamin C Antitrust Litigation, one of the largest price-fixing cases in U.S. history. In addition to this, he has been called upon as an expert witness in governmental, legal, and public forums including the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Federal Bankruptcy Court, United States Tax Court, California Supreme Court and arbitration hearings.
Halbert White, who passed away in 2012, was also a man at the top of his field. As an expert in econometrics, modelling, statistics and other areas, White was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a Fellow of the Econometric Society. As a world-renowned economic theorist and thought leader, White was also a prolific writer with over 100 published books and papers to his name. An interesting fact about Halbert White: one of his papers, written in 1980, holds a niche-yet-impressive record as the most-cited paper in peer-reviewed economic literature since 1970. Stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it, everyone else who’s written a not-so-cited piece of peer-reviewed economic literature!
Bates White has been a dominant market leader in asbestos litigation and valuation as well as in False Claims Act litigation. Though antitrust remains Bates White’s largest practice area, the firm is recognized as an expert in environmental product liability, healthcare and life sciences, energy, and finance.
In case you hadn’t figured it out by now, Bates White is a boutique economic consultancy firm headquartered at Washington, D.C. headed by Chairman & Senior Partner Charles E Bates. According to Vault’s ranking, Bates White stands at #30 in the top 50 consulting firms, #3 among the top consulting firms in philanthropy and #12 among the best consulting firms for informal training! While the firm’s name may not be as well-known as some of the competitors in its field, that doesn’t stop it from ensnaring high profile clients.
With a squad of antitrust professionals, of which there are more than 100 MBAs and 50 Ph.D.s, Bates White advises clients on case development and strategy, evaluating economic policies and changes with ease. The academically-inclined team reviews evidence and analyzes the likelihood of litigation or settlement.
Having been involved in some of the highest-profile antitrust cases in history, tackling and, in some cases, helping legislate on behalf of and define issues monopolization, mergers and acquisitions, and competition suppression, Bates White is clearly a force to be reckoned with in the world of economic consulting.
Another interesting part of Bates White is its European connection, E.CA Economics (formerly ESMT Competition Analysis), based in Berlin, Germany. It was founded in 2007 and focuses on the areas of antitrust, regulation, merger and state aid. Bates White and E.CA maintain an exclusive cooperative partnership to provide antitrust services in the United States and the European Union. E.CA Economics is currently being led by Hans W. Friederiszick, a former member of the Chief Economist Team of DG Competition, and Rainer Nitsche, a former Vice President of the economics consultancy CRA International.
Bates White is a well-designed, flat-yet-deep organizational structure. What does that mean? Though the structure is flat, consultants work on niche projects and do not have too many levels of leadership to deal with. If you join, you will be directly working with Managers and Principals on projects unlike other firms where you barely get to see senior management.
There are two Bates White paths: Consultants and Economists. Consultant positions are for those with a Bachelor’s or an MBA degree, while Economist positions are for those who hold a Ph.D. There are also several opportunities outside these tracks, available in the area of operations that span multiple disciplines to include human resources, finance and accounting, marketing, information systems and technology, administrative support, and corporate services.
Are you a hungry economic/quant senior, looking for interesting internship work? Bates White’s Summer Consultant Program (ranked #3 summer program for consulting firms) provides rising seniors with an amazing 10 weeks of learning, collaborating, working, training, and socializing. As a Summer Consultant, you’ll work side-by-side with employees at all levels, including Ph.D. economists, MBAs, and JDs to meet the needs of real clients. Each rising senior is assigned a peer coach and a sponsor who teaches them the ropes within the organisation and also provides career guidance. Another very interesting aspect of this program is that it enables them to network with high-end leaders and work closely with experts in the field.
If your main goal is to land a job at MBB or another top level strategy firm, you may want to avoid an internship at Bates White and get some brand name experience in another field. If, however, you know you want to take a deep dive into the economic consultancy sphere, grab hold of that Bates White internship while you can!
Despite the boutique nature of the firm, Bates White alums have a lot of opportunities before them once they decide to leave. The high profile work does mean that you’ll be exposed to big brand names in key industries, getting you professional exposure and building some great hero stories. Many when leaving do stay in consulting, even ending up at MBB (eventually), while a number go on to work at other brand name companies like Apple and Google.
As a consultant you will be assigned to client projects from day one. Bates White doesn’t waste any time getting you up to speed. Your projects will be high profile, working with senior management, and focused on analyzing and processing data, conducting research, and solving problems.
As an economist, you will be developing detailed work plans that break large problems down into manageable tasks, suggesting additional/complementary projects, and anticipating and rebutting client’s arguments. Economists interact with clients and/or experts, supervise junior staff, and coordinate projects.
Having cultivated a culture that supports intellectual freedom, rewards collaboration, and offers opportunities to build your career, Bates White employees always make mention of the fact that they are challenged to put their education to work as they develop practicable solutions real-world problems, all in the context of a strong team environment.
Bates Whites is also deeply committed to creating an environment that fosters a diverse workforce and inclusive culture. The firm’s Diversity/Inclusion Council represents a cross-section of employees and ensures diversity and inclusion are supported in all aspects of the firm. They are also very serious about inclusiveness towards women. Women are represented at all levels of the firm, including senior leadership. Because the company is big on this, they have a few initiatives in this area of women inclusiveness.
The downside of Bates White, as with most consulting firms, is that they have long working hours. While you should be expecting this as a prospective consultant, it’s an issue staff raise quite regularly, especially since economic consulting firms often have 40-hour work weeks.
The salaries are good too, but not as competitive as other economic consulting firms especially when you compund that with the longer than average working hours you can expect to be subjected to. Those of you who are interested in economic consulting firms should definitely consider Bates White, but not without taking stock of the disadvantages you may face.
