More than 60 per cent of people with dementia are estimated to have three or more other conditions (co-morbidities).
The research shows how the combined effects of co-morbidities including diabetes, lung disease, arthritis and chronic heart failure are not being adequately described in dementia trials.
It investigates the extent of co-morbidities in people with dementia and the recording of medication usage in clinical trials, for the first time.
Previous research has found that medication cocktails make it difficult to show whether new dementia drugs are working.
Researchers hope that the findings will lead to better reporting of co-morbidities and medication use in future trials, and benefit the search for a cure.
There are 36 million people worldwide with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia and this expected to double by 2030 and reach 115 million by 2050 unless a major breakthrough is made.
Lead researcher Dr Chris Fox said: "To date, research on the specific physical healthcare needs of people with dementia has been neglected.
"We took into account nine trials, all of which had recorded data about comorbidities. But a further 15 studies had not recorded data on comorbidities. This shows that dementia trials are failing – which is why we are not making progress.
Falls, malnutrition, frailty, incontinence, sleep disorders and sight problems are found to occur more frequently in dementia sufferers and untreated can lead to more severe health problems
"Falls, malnutrition, frailty, incontinence, sleep disorders and sight problems are found to occur more frequently in dementia sufferers and untreated can lead to more severe health problems, pain and distress, as well as worsening the symptoms of dementia. And as the severity of the dementia worsens, so does the rate of comorbid conditions.
"But many physical comorbidities are often treatable and some may be reversible. Pneumonia, urinary tract infection, congestive cardiac failure and dehydration account for more than two thirds of preventable dementia admissions.
"The biggest problem is that it is often difficult for people with dementia to communicate that they have another medical complaint. This leads to poor reporting of medical comorbidities," he added.
Dr Ian Maidment from Aston University said: "We found that medication usage was poorly reported. This is important, because our previous research has found that many medications work against new drugs designed to treat dementia potentially making it difficult to prove whether or not these new drugs actually work. Ultimately this may undermine the commitment by the G8 to find new drugs to treat dementia."
The team from UEA, Aston University, the University of Hull and Bradford Institute for Health Research looked at information about 1474 people with dementia from nine randomised control trials.
The study found that comorbidity was rife – the most prevalent conditions being neurological disorders (91 per cent) vascular disorders (91 per cent), cardiac disorders (74 per cent) and depression (59 per cent).

How To Choose A Color Scheme For Your Home
January 11, 2014
If you've spent some time browsing interior design blogs and magazines, you'll see their beautiful rooms have one thing in common: they were decorated by someone who knew their colors. When chosen correctly, the color palette can set the tone for the entire room.
But what happens when you want to decorate each room? These tips will help you pick out a color scheme for you entire home.
- Start by picking a color for your most centrally located room. This will usually mean your living room or family room. Take the room's artwork, couch, occasional chairs and other furniture into consideration when choosing the main color.
- Pay attention to which rooms are visible from the main room. This will help you choose complementary colors.
- Create your color scheme with shades of the same hue. From grays to blues, most hues have a wide variety of shades to choose from.
- Keep open areas neutral. Hallways, foyers and landings should be painted and decorated in neutral hues. They'll give the eyes a place to rest and match the other rooms.
Always remember to test your potential palette before painting walls or buying new pieces. Paint some swatches or bring home some test paint to ensure you get the look you want.

Leaving camp we cross the Stok La (4,900m), our last pass of the trek. At first we trek on a beautiful, gently sloping trail, but then the path becomes steeper and steeper as it zigzags up to the top of the pass. Rock flutes rise all around us, home to the elusive snow leopard. From the top the views are even more spectacular; layer upon layer of multicoloured rock cathedrals are spread before us in every direction. The descent is very steep at first and then we contour round two valleys to the junction with the river coming down from Stok Kangri. Continue along the river to campsite at Mankarmo.
Day 13: Trek to Base camp (5000 mtrs) 3/4 hrs. (Camp 11)

Day 14: At base camp (Camp 12)
Day 15: Trek to Stok Kangri (6153 mtrs) 10/11 hrs. (Camp 13)
Today an early start to climb to summit. This peak does not require any technical mountaineering capability. Our route initially crosses scree and boulder slopes and then leads to easy angled snow slopes which require ice axe, rope and crampons. The route is not difficult but at this altitude it will be strenuous. From the summit of Stok Kangri (6153m), we could see as far as the Karakoram ranges, Lartse peak and Gelup Kangri and of course Leh city. Retrace your step way back to base-camp or all the way to Munikarmo.
Day 16: Trek to Stok, 5 hrs, drive to Leh.
Keeping on the left bank of the Stok Nallah, the trail descends, going past the jagged ruins of the Staklang Kar fort. At its base is a thick grove of willow. The trail is well worn, being used for the summer movement of cattle and sheep to the higher pastures. The small gorge opens on to an alluvial plain. The trail through apricot orchards and barley fields, ending at the village of Stok and the Ladakh Sarai. There should be time to visit Stok Palace and Museum while we wait for our jeep. Then an hour drive to Leh, and overnight stay at hotel
Day 17: Flight to Delhi and home.
Early morning drive to airport and flight to Delhi and onwards flight to home.

As a volunteer and supporter of the Brandywine Valley SPCA since 2014, I am proud to participate in the 2019 Walk for Paws annual fundraiser. As one of the largest fundraising opportunities for the BVSPCA each year, I am asking for your support through donations and registrations. I raised over $800 last year and am looking to raise the bar and hit $1000 this year - and with your help, I can do it!
This organization really does it all to improve the lives of animals and families in Pennsylvania and Delaware through shelter and veterinary services, animal rehabilitation, humane education for children, animal protective services, lost and found resources...just to name a few. And did I mention that the West Chester shelter was the very first no-kill open admission shelter? And that the state of Delaware is the very first no-kill state as a result of the BVSPCA's work?! It's true.
Your donations enable the lifesaving work of the Brandywine Valley SPCA, so thank you in advance for your generosity and support!

First, the front lawn
This was seeded in mid June before Guru left for NJ and looked just OK when we returned. There were sections (like the one below) that were completely bald. What you see below are the small bunches that we attempted to re-plant in that bald section. We are happy to report that these plantings are doing very well and seem to be taking root. The bald spots were in areas where our "self designed and installed" sprinklers didn't cover and thereby prevented germination. We have also seen fresh growth in this area once we started hand watering these spots.
The back lawn is a totally different story
There were a lot of big bald patches in the back lawn (read here) that we reseeded in early June (read here). Thanks to the unseasonal cold weather we have been experiencing in the bay area this year a majority of the bald spots that we re-seeded showed signs of growth.
The big picture
...and a close up of the part that showed some promise
...and the one that didn't
The parts that were seeded first were also getting really long and we hadn't mowed this thing even once. Heck...we didn't own a mower to begin with.(More on our mowing story in the next post)
The shocking thing has been the brown spots that began emerging in the grass. We initially thought that the browning was due to the reduced watering cycle we had put in place at around the same time. What struck me as weird were the innumerable small creatures that would hop when you walked on the grass.
Thanks to Google and the power of the Internet, we soon figured we had a Leaf Hopper problem. However, the surprising thing is that almost all the on-line resources claim that Leaf Hoppers do not cause significant damage. Either we are outliers or my diagnosis is totally wrong. In my book this does seem like a significant amount of damage.
We have also seen a pretty significant number of Yellow Jackets buzzing over the lawn. Are they after the Leaf Hoppers or are they causing any damage to the lawn? Would love to hear any suggestions you may have.
So far, our method of dealing with any problem in the garden is to give things a good shower of Neem, which we did for 3 consecutive weeks. The number of Leaf Hoppers seems to have reduced visibly when we walk on the grass. We are hoping the grass recovers from this onslaught.

Look towards the tree,
the silhouette on the edge of the mountain.
Swaying and moving
like a beautiful lady trying to seduce me.
The movements and branches so mysteriously unique. A simple feat of nature lies before my very eyes,
yet is hidden due to the position of the Sun.
I still know that there it lies,
the dark silhouetted tree of beauty.

Have a dirty looking area on bottom of my acrylic(from Re-Bath) and am sure it is from our hard water. Tub is just now being used daily. Know I cannot use regular products like CLR or Lime Away. Have tried ammonia, vinegar, baking soda and a mixture of all 3-no luck. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, Lime Away and CLR and Clorox and toilet bowl cleaner and Scrubbing Bubbles and Soft Scrub and TSP and Bar Keepers Friend Stovetop Cleaner (one of the best things for this) are all out for acrylic tubs - will etch or dissolve the surface.
Tide plus some bleach will work but is still mildly abrasive.
Safest thing is Dawn liquid dish - make up about a 10-20% solution and wipe/sponge or spray (in an old window cleaner bottle) it on and let sit for 15 minutes, then use some elbow grease and sponge it out. Heavy buildup may take a couple of passes to remove, or may have to mix with white (not brown - can stain) vinegar. This will take out the brownish scum layer (which is mostly soap scum) so you may need to use a bit of white vinegar to get it squeeky clean. The key with fiberglass/acrylic tubs is to clean them weekly, and monthly or so put a wax coat on the sides (NOT the bottom where you stand) - see manufacturer instructions for wax recommnedations, but Johnson's Paste wax LIGHTLY applied is what I have seen most recommended probably - some recommend Pledge spray table wax which is certainly easier to apply than a paste wax, but I don't know if the cleaners in Pledge will hurt some acrylics - I would not take the chance. The wax sheds the water faster, hence you do not have dirty water standing and drying on the surface, causing the scum.
Here is a list from BathFitters of things they recommend - but there are at least 5 types of plastic/fiberglass compositions used in bathroom fixtures, so what is safe for theirs may not be for yours. I would certainly stay with only the main brandname products (Johnson & Johnson, Clorox, P&G, Church & Dwight, etc), and only if they specifically say safe for acrylic fixtures.

- HH100 - What the Home Health Aide Should Know About Type 2 Diabetes$36.00
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease marked by high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is the most common form of diabetes with millions of Americans having been diagnosed with the disease. Some people have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes than others. They include African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders, as well as the aged population. As a home health aide you should know the special needs of your diabetic client. You should know whether they are taking insulin and be familiar with their nutritional needs. You should also be able to recognize when your client is having an insulin reaction which could be potentially dangerous and even life threatening.Learn More
- HH103 - Home Health Care: An Introduction$36.00
Combining medical technology and the human touch, the healthcare industry diagnoses, treats, and administers care around the clock, responding to the needs of millions of people -- from newborns to the terminally ill.Learn More
- HH105 - MGR:Bloodborne Pathogens for Employers & Supervisors for Home Health$36.00
Home healthcare workers help ill, elderly, convalescent, or disabled persons who live in their own homes instead of in a healthcare facility. Home healthcare workers encompass a variety of occupations, including nurses, home healthcare aides, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, therapy aides, social workers, and hospice care workers. This course addresses blood-borne pathogens, which can affect healthcare workers in the home care setting and the steps the employer/supervisor can take to reduce blood-borne pathogen exposure.Learn More
- HH106 - MGR: Musculoskeletal Disorders for Employers & Supervisors$36.00
All health care workers who lift and move patients are at high risk for back injury and other musculoskeletal disorders. A work-related musculoskeletal disorder is an injury of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, joints, cartilage, bones, or blood vessels in the extremities or back that is caused or aggravated by work tasks such as lifting, pushing, and pulling. Symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders include pain, stiffness, swelling, numbness, and tingling.Learn More
- HH107 - Latex Allergy in Home Care$36.00
Latex, or natural rubber latex (NRL), includes products made from dry, natural rubber. Allergic reactions to latex range from mild to severe, including skin rashes; hives; nasal, eye, or sinus symptoms; asthma; and (rarely) shock. Most persons who are sensitive to latex are not born with the allergy. They develop it after repeated exposures to products that contain latex. Limiting exposure to latex is important for both home healthcare workers and the clients in their care to prevent allergic reactions to latex.Learn More
- HH108 - Home Health Patient Rights and Advance Directives$36.00
Federal law requires that all people receiving home care services should be informed of their rights as a patient. Because these rights are the guiding principles by which effective and appropriate care is provided, all home care workers should be familiar with patient rights. This course details those rights.

Health care professionals often are in contact with elder adults in the hospital, clinic or nursing home setting. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of elder abuse and then reporting your suspicions are important first steps in resolving this problem, and you may be saving someone's life!Learn More
- REG120 - Dementia: Communication, Behavior Management, & Abuse Prevention$36.00
This course discusses the care of individuals with dementia and is intended to meet the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements for dementia training.

I've been way too busy to even read the heavily redacted papers, but I will 'cause I'm nuts like that.
Scroll down and head over to Conservative Treehouse who does a masterful job of dissecting the papers - and we thank him.
Donald J. TrumpLooking more & more like the Trump Campaign for President was illegally being spied upon (surveillance) for the political gain of Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Ask her how that worked out - she did better with Crazy Bernie. Republicans must get tough now. An illegal Scam!

Suicide.Email is an emotional punchbag. If you need to get something off your chest, or just need someone to shout at, this is the place. You do not need to be suicidal (we'd generally prefer if no-one ever was). Whatever you are feeling, send it to email@example.com and your message will reach a pair of non-judgemental human eyes. Occasionally, those eyes might even see a helpful path out of whatever you are in.
By default, messages received will not be posted unless specifically asked for, and will always be anonymized. There's also a common sense test to be applied to posting any messages.
We would encourage everyone to share more. If things are really bad, we'd recommend sharing with a medical professional, mental health charity, or trusted adult. They are the heroes than really can make a difference, but you'll need to share to get started on that path.
It can be daunting if you've never shared before, especially in a world that still hasn't got to grips with mental illness. Hopefully you will feel able to share, and can at least have a shot at getting through whatever it is you're suffering through.

It says im getting back 1674 and on your site it say 652 so how much am I getting back
Just to clarify, is the IRS site reporting that you are getting back $1674.00? The IRS gives the final amount of your refund after they have accepted and processed your return. Please click this IRS Help link to learn more.
Turbo tax said I was to get my refund on the 3rd of this month but I did not
The IRS expects to issue most refunds in less than 21 days after being accepted. Turbotax gives an estimated date based on the IRS's 21 day timeframe. So it all depends on the IRS and how fast your tax return moves along in the system. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Therefore, I would not worry about the estimated dates.
When will I get my IRS tax refund?
Taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) may experience a refund hold.
Some 2019 federal refunds are delayed due to the PATH Act
To track your Federal refund, visit the Where's My Federal Refund? site You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status
Note: You will need your social security number, filing status, and refund amount in order to track your refund.
If your return is still pending and not accepted yet by the IRS, you will need to wait until it's accepted to check the status on the IRS website. Be sure when checking Where's My Federal Refund? site that you are entering only your Federal refund amount. This can be found on your Federal form 1040, line 21a. Also if you paid any fees out of your federal refund, use the refund figure prior to the deduction of he fees
So I don't know much about all this stuff, BUT I do know that the IRS hadn't even started to look at anyone's return until January 27,2020. Therefore, the "21 days" wouldn't of started until then to begin with. AND that "within 21 days" statement is only a best case scenario, since there are way more people outside, than inside, of the IRS. So it's going to take a bit.
Ive filed my taxes January 11, 2019 an i have not received it yet where is my refund
I filed on the January 21, 2020. Where is my refund?
Filed January 21 and still haven't received it
The IRS issues most refunds in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review. The IRS usually begins issuing tax refunds on returns with the EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit in late February.
When will I get my IRS tax refund? - Community
i thought my refund was going to be here on the 17th but it isnt here yet when might it be here
Your refund could hit your account 1-5 days after it is sent by the Internal Revenue Service because banks vary in how and when they credit funds.
My federal tax return has been completed but it's not showing in my bank account
How long do it take for my taxes I filed in January

Earlier this summer, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals held that Sandy City, Utah's restriction on sitting or standing in a street median of less than 36 inches in width met constitutional muster. Although the regulation was principally aimed at addressing panhandling activity, the court found the regulation to be content neutral, affirming an earlier district court ruling in the case. The court's decision appears to offer an avenue for local governments to address safety concerns associated with panhandling, without treading on constitutionally unstable ground.
The Supreme Court's 2015 decision in Reed v. Town of Gilbert resulted in the invalidation of many restrictions on panhandling in municipalities around the United States. To get around the legal defects associated with panhandling prohibitions, municipalities—like Sandy City—have adopted general restrictions on sitting, standing, and remaining in street medians to achieve the same ends.

I don't know about you, but it had been rather quiet for birds visiting my garden up until Christmas. I kept my feeders and bird table topped up though with my usual combo of feeder mix and table mix, but it was very much the occasional bird dropping in rather than a steady stream of visitors.
Over the Christmas break, a pair of goldfinches turned up, which out a smile on our faces. A pair visits occasionally, so I assumed natural food had started to get a bit scarce in the area.
As I watched them picking out the seeds from pole and hanging feeders, in particular the oats and sunflower hearts in the feeder mix, I began to wonder if I ought to go and get some nyjer seed, as they like this. A couple of days later, we got a real surprise when I counted nine goldfinches packed on to the feeders. Time to get that extra seed and full up a few more feeders!
Sunflower hearts go down well with goldfinches (Nigel Blake rspb-images.com)
With the weather turning a bit colder, and mindful of the absence of splendid starlings, I picked up some suet products too. No word of a lie, I had literally just filled up two fat ball feeders and was locking the back door, when a single starling flew in and started feeding on the fat balls. How do they know?!
Having previously blogged about my Big Garden Birdwatch wish list, and including rose-coloured starling, I'm hopeful it will tell a friend and some good numbers will start using our feeders, hopefully bringing with them a "rosey"! It's a long shot, but you never know. We're now getting a decent sized flock.
Back on the subject of "how do they know", our house sparrow flock of around 30 birds suddenly appeared from nowhere once the additional feeders had been put out.
How will you do yours?I really think it's important to feed your garden birds in January, February and March because natural food has dwindled in many places by now. This is certainly the case here in Cambridgeshire, so stock up and they'll come.
Goldfinches' tweezer like beaks are perfect for extracting nyjer seeds from feeders (Nigel Blake rspb-images.com)
And if you needed any other incentive to feed your birds, and give them a bit extra, your Big Garden Birdwatch count should get a big boost!

League One Manager of the Month for February Neil Harris leads his Lions into tomorrow's encounter with Bury 14 matches unbeaten in the division; not since before Christmas have Millwall tasted defeat. As a result of their FA Cup exploits, they also have three games in hand on most of their play-off rivals and a maximum haul would take them level with Fleetwood in second place.
Harris can also boast a fully fit squad to choose from, which no manager at the Shakers' helm has had for at least two years.
Goalkeeper Tom King, if selected, will be looking to make amends for the manner in which he conceded the sixth goal against Tottenham in the FA Cup last weekend. That error and his proclivity to punch the ball might be something Lee Clark instructs his front five to test him on, especially from dead ball situations in the latter case. To even get that far, they will have to breach one of the meanest defences of 2017 first.
Spurs aside, the above shows the platform on which Harris' men have roared into the top six, including shut-outs against Premier League opposition in the cup run. King will be very well protected by a mostly conservative back four; the key battle in the game could centre around Tony Craig and Taylor Moore. Craig isn't exactly the paciest of full backs but makes up for that with his positional sense. He will be more than ably helped out by his defensive teammates, not least of whom is Byron Webster, one of my picks for the League One Team of the Year (look out for that in a future blogpost). He normally manages to stay on the right side of physical and can outmuscle almost any striker in the third tier – another war of attrition could be fought with either James Vaughan or Tom Pope.
Shaun Cummings will look to bomb up the flank in support of an array of possible candidates. It could be Jed Wallace, on loan from Wolves. Wallace has struggled in the old gold shirt to make the right wing berth his own but he would give Greg Leigh and Cameron Burgess plenty to think about with his crossing ability and forays into the channels. On the opposite side, Shane Ferguson is more defensive minded and could be deployed narrower to make up a midfield three when out of possession to match Bury's shape and win it back quickly. Central midfield duo Ben Thompson and Shaun Williams take turns to shuttle between the back four and front two and that dynamism is something else the visitors will have to be watchful of and contain when possible.
Up top, penalty expert Lee Gregory is likely to lead the line. It was his spot kick in the reverse fixture after Niall Maher handled at the near post that kickstarted Millwall's comeback to win 3-2 after being three down with 20 minutes on the clock. Better in the air than with the ball at his feet, he is also quite agile and will rove between Antony Kay and Burgess in an attempt to be goal-side of them when the crosses come in (mostly from the right flank). Again, it's uncertain who he will playing alongside but if it's precocious talent Fred Onyedinma, as a pair they would offer a lot of movement for the London side.
There are also many options from the bench to consider, which is always the hallmark of a team gunning for promotion. Everyone at Bury is already aware of what David Worrall can do; alongside him are likely to be target man Steve Morison and versatile inside forward/support striker Aiden O'Brien, who each have 10 league goals to their names to complement Gregory's 14. If things aren't panning out too well, there is a lot of ammunition on the sidelines to affect the outcome.
As for the Shakers, I have a sneaky feeling we might see Kean Bryan start for the first time since being sent off in the derby debacle against Rochdale back in October (and he was subsequently injured in training during his suspension). He will add more bite to what is bound to be another hard fought contest and is more defensively inclined than any other Bury midfield option fit and/or still being considered for selection. That would allow Callum Styles to be a choice to have on the bench if a spark of creativity is required. Jacob Mellis might also return to the squad but I think this game will come too quickly for him to feature prominently.
Much like with my Bristol Rovers prediction, I suspect that the Lions will come out on top but not without a fight: I am going for a 2-1 victory for the home side. Exile Jr. has opted for a 1-1 draw, which I would take if offered it right now. All eyes down at the bottom will be on Port Vale's tussle with Shrewsbury – a draw or win for the Shropside side would mean that even a defeat wouldn't be too alarming for Lee Clark. There are bound to be a few more twists and turns yet
and a thousand other clichés.

what is that saying? when it rains it pours? i am working on a couple of really big things at the moment which is keeping me busy. one is a very large multi store order from a very large company that i am about 95% sure is going to go through. they want to test a new eco-friendly section in their top 55 stores and they want to put my eco-friendly stationery in the test. this means huge order and the possibility of the section being expanded to all of their 400 stores nation wide. we have been working on the deal for a few months now and i finally feel like it's solid enough to talk about. don't worry, when it all goes through for sure, i'll let you know where you can find it.
also, i am definitely participating in the national stationery show this spring and have been getting my ducks in a row for that as well. the things i have been up to in the past few days are finding an assistant, getting the office finished (so that said assistant feels that he or she is in a real office), perfecting my system of assembling stationery and re-designing my catalog. here's a sneak peak. now, you haven't seen my first catalog that i designed about this time last year, but it was really bad. i mean, it got the job done, but i was really unhappy with it. so let me know how you feel about this one::

My head is spinning and my shoulders have now accumulated so many knots that I can't put my arms down by my sides anymore.
I had it all together. I was in control. Ok, so maybe I yelled at a cop on Friday who made me turn left when I wanted to go straight. And maybe he threatened me a little. But did he scare me? Not in the least! I think I may have even yelled a profanity at him. But not until I was out of earshot. Am still a slight sissy.
But I am actually quite the maniac these days. I want to rip the heads off of baby squirrels. I want to drive 102 miles per hour in my rental care that I hate-hate-hate (needs to be said in threes) and weave in and out of traffic just daring someone to get in my way. I'm sure my insurance got cancelled at the time I requested and didn't possibly get screwed up along with everyone else. I'm covered! I think! I just want to give a big flip off to every person that does me wrong. And most of all, I really want to scream.
And scream I did while driving down the parkway on Friday night. I screamed so long and so loud that I lost my voice. But damn did I feel better. Friday was just the accumulation of a long, hard, confusing week. Oh yeah, and I was hungover… again. Well earned if I may say so myself and a reminder of why I quite tequila years ago.
Really things weren't going so bad. I was knocking things off the list left and right. I was saying fun goodbyes. I felt empowered. And even happy and excited for the end result of our efforts to be so near! Yet I wake up today on the very loathed airbed and realized that for the first time… that was STRESS... in my shoulders!… and not just that the damn mattress went flat in the middle of the night again.
What is the best cure for stress? Write a list of all the things you need to do and in what order and how they should be done and everything will be better. But noooo! Not today would it be easy. The list only made me throw in my mouth a little.
Then all day today, we went back and forth. KH calls… let's keep the house and rent. He calls again… let's sell because the bank says we can't. Then another… but this bank said we could if we do a, b and c. Then… but we would have to pay x, y and z. Then… but we would make it back in taxes. Then… but does it really make sense to rent. Then… ok let's sell.
Since the time we have found out we were moving, we have only changed our mind about selling about 300 gazillimabitchon times. (And yes that is a damn word. Want to make something of it?) We have even changed our minds more than five times some days. Do you know how ridiculously crazy we must sound to our realtor?
I am not a person who can handle indecision. I make a plan. I stick to it as if it were fly paper and I the Brundle. Once the plan is made, all that happens if a change is made is for me to wither into a kicking and screaming, psycho puddle. One might say I am inflexible. Really, though, I do have to disagree. Would someone inflexible decide that it was a good idea to move halfway around the world? Not a chance! Well… not unless they were aiming for life in Bellview.
So round and round we go and where we stop nobody knows. As of five minutes ago, we are selling. With only one week and five days left, there has to come a point that this madness stops. I vote today, dammit!
Of course… don't be surprised if I change my mind tomorrow.
For now I am going to go home and clean out the rest of the liquor cabinet of the stuff that the movers wouldn't take. To hell with mixers. Then when I throw up, there will be no telling if it was the stress or if it was the booze. Totally makes me less of an alcoholic, wouldn't you say?

Back and Forth and Back and Forth Again

Hey. I can't imagine the stress you must be under right now but the end result is going to be so exciting -- and hopefully that excitement will overtake all of this. I have no idea what it would be like to live so far away. But living even a few states away, I can tell you I get lonely. I miss friends and the man I love. But it helps to hear that you are preparing to go through something similar. And, in the end, we will both be better people for it!
Interesting site. Useful information. Bookmarked.

Dakshesh, an old man in Sirubari village suffering from cancer, wishes to be released from the excruciating pain. He requests the villagers to take him to the three monks. They are all intrigued by the legend of the mystical three monks. No one has seen them but only heard stories of miraculous healing they offered.
Knowing that the sick man's death is imminent, the villagers leave him alone near the Pashupatinath temple hoping that the three monks, if they exist, would embrace him on the holy land. The old man wakes up to the sight of the three monks, but only to know that they are no saints but notorious criminals. What they tell Dakshesh in his last few breaths, shakes his entire perception of humanity and its sins.
Demons in My Mind…When Mind Becomes Your Biggest Enemy unfolds stories within a story through Dakshesh and three monks. Each monk holds his own dark share to deliver… murder.. rape .. torture; it indeed pulls out the shady corners of the world of sins. I don't want to disclose much of the plot as it is the treat that the book serves. This mystery thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat!
I would like to appreciate the author in picking up such a daring thread for his story. There were really deep things to ponder on from the book and a lot of details to read in between the lines. The stories each monk presented exploring their psychological states and turn of events that made them what they are heats up the plot. The writing style is brilliant that you will feel enthralled as you go on. It indeed says what its title suggests… demons in our mind and seriously most types of those dark demons are covered in this I guess… The crime plot makes it effectively exhilarating. Also I really loved the title and the book cover design, so apt for the content.
At some points, I felt it was too much to handle or there was a lot of things happening other than that the book was a great read.
I would love to read more from this author. My rating for this book will be 4.5 / 5 😀

Bird List
A couple of weeks ago Bob and I had the plan to head into Sand Canyon and visit Rodecker Flat, but instead we got distracted and went to the furthest reaches of the North Fork of Sand Canyon. Needing an easy hike, we decided to try again today.
Plodding along the easy trail, our bird of the day was just inside the wilderness gate -- a Eurasian Collared-Dove. Now, don't everyone get excited all at once. This invasive species has been seen in several of the canyons associating with houses. This one was blazing a new trail that cut people out of the loop. Let's hope it doesn't succeed as I don't want them everywhere I hike.
The annual flowers in the lower canyon were done for the year, but the perennials were starting their show. Flannel bush, desert peach, and Salvia dorrii were looking lovely and kept our minds off how dry everything else looked.
|Flannel Bush
|Desert Peach
|Gray Pines and Owen's Peak
|My hillside of yellow with the peak we would bag looming above
When we got to the top, we found even better annual flowers, mainly Scale Bud and Coreopsis. Not only were they beautiful to look at; they smelled great too. So, with a flower display for me and mountains for Bob, we had our lunch break. It was fabulous.
|Bob the peak bagger
|Flowers everywhere
|Scale Bud and a Coreopsis
|Owens Peak beyond the flowers
I expected the final dry part of the hike to be boring, but we found a couple of interesting reptiles - a Leopard Lizard, and then a Desert Tortoise at 3330'. Both allowed their photos to be taken. Very nice.

Luke 18:9-14 "Reforming Towards Unity" If you looked at the back of your bulletin this morning, you may have noticed that today is "Reformation Sunday." The Rev. Jeffrey Murray provides a reflection on justification by faith that seems appropriate both for an acknowledgement of "Reformation Sunday" and an insight into this morning's Gospel text. Referencing the 16th century Reformer, Martin Luther, Murray concludes that while doing the works that our faith demands of us is important, justification is not attained by anything we say or do; it is a gift that moves us to respond humbly. Just think of the two characters in Jesus' parable – the Pharisee and the tax collector. The Pharisee really was an excellent religious person. He observed all the rules, fasted and prayed, and gave generously from his income. The story doesn't indicate that he was lying about doing these things, or that he needed to do more. He was doing good things because he was a good person, and that was good. The tax collector, on the other hand, had not been doing good things. He freely admits that he is a sinner, and we can imagine that he was greedy and dishonest and demanding, as was the norm for tax collectors in Jesus' time. He worked for the Romans and took advantage of his own people in order to make a profit… and that was not good. And so, carrying all their "goodness" and their "not-so-goodness" with them, these two men go up … Read more »

Joel 2:23-32 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18 Luke 18:9-14 Singing: "I am amazing! I am filled with power! And God loves me like crazy! I am amazing!" Some of you may remember that as the first verse of the theme song from Camp Christopher this summer. I shared the song with you back in May when we celebrated Camp Sunday here at St. Andrew's. And if you're anything like me, you probably felt slightly awkward throwing your arms in the air and singing out loud about how amazing and wonderful you are. I don't think it's that we are particularly shy or awkward people. Some might say that it's because we are Presbyterians… very reserved and proper individuals… But I wonder if, really, it's awkward for us to sing "I am amazing" because we've been taught from a young age that we should be humble. We should not make ourselves the centre of attention. We should not be proud or brag about our accomplishments. Today's parable seems to come down hard on people who think too highly of themselves. In particular, it's another one of the Gospel stories that doesn't make the Pharisees look very nice. You remember who the Pharisees were, right? They were very devout and religious Jews who took their faith seriously and lived according to the commandments. The Apostle Paul was a Pharisee, for example, before his conversion to the way of Jesus. So it seems that Jesus is telling a story to 'stick it to the … Read more »

Is it wrong and highly paranoid of me that every time my ex goes to Mexico and he brings back his mom's homemade tamales (which have always been super delicious) that I worry that they are laced with something highly poisonous in an attempt to rid me from the planet? Because I do. Every time. I wonder if he would ever do that. If she would ever do that. And then I eat them anyway. And if I am so paranoid about them poisoning me, what does that make me if I eat them anyway? Certainly not a masochist and DEFINITELY NOT suicidal by any means. Too trusting? Sufficiently trusting? I don't know, but thought I'd pose the question to the masses. Weigh in on it.
And now for the dump:

|You know your kid is tired

Summertime and the living is easy—especially when you can trade in your everyday style for of-the-moment braids. From Zoe Kravitz to Selita Ebanks (and yes, Beyonce), the warm-weather hairstyle has taken on a new twist, no pun intended. But what do you really need to know before you rock this style? We spoke to the expert to help you enjoy your protective style with no strings attached.
Find The Right Salon
"When picking a braiding salon/stylist it's important to assess their professional experience," explains Aminata Diagne N'Diaye, Owner of Aminata Africa Hair Braiding. "This way you can really gauge their level of expertise and choose who's right for the particular hairstyle you are looking to get. The proof is always in the pudding. Always ask yourself: Is this person a skilled braider? A great weaver or talented hair cutter? With hair styling, practice makes perfect so make sure you check out some of their work and/or client testimonies before sitting in the chair. As a client, always ask which stylist the salon owner or receptionist would recommend—they tend to secretly know every stylist's strengths and weaknesses."
Consider Your Hair Texture
"The best hair type for braids is hair that is full and thick, so that the hair can support the braids you will be wearing," shares celebrity natural hairstylist, Felicia Leatherwood. "Hair that is fine, fragile, thin and damaged should avoid any hairstyle that would put weight on your hair or hairline and cause traction alopecia—a form of balding from tugging or putting tension on hair."
Opt for Human Hair
"Today, hair used for extensions are available in an array of textures including Brazilian, Cambodian, European, India, Mongolian, and Peruvian hair types," explains Curly Textured Expert & Author of Textured Tresses, Diane Da Costa. "Plus, these hair types vary in textures from straight, wavy, body wave, loose curls, spiral curls, deep waves, tight deep curl and kinky curly. All virgin human unprocessed hair usually is available in its natural off-black or brown color. However, this hair can also be colored to match your hair color or processed colored hair."
MORE: Caring For Braids, Weaves, And Extensions
Avoid Any Surprises
"You should always wash your extensions before installing—but only for weaves—to see its true hair wave pattern, texture and color," explains N'Diaye. "Extensions after wash reveal their true selves. Think of it as washing your makeup off your face to reveal your bare skin."
Set A Time Limit
"Braids should only be left in for 4-6 weeks, with a retouch on your hairline after 3 weeks, so that your hairline isn't hanging on by a thread and stays nice and strong," explains Leatherwood. "While wearing your braids be sure to apply Profectiv Mega Growth Anti-Thinning Temple Recovery to your hairline to keep it from thinning. You can usually tell when it's time to take your braids out when the scalp feels sensitive from movement or when the base looks dry and starts to lock up. Another indication you've had your braids in too long, is when your new growth is about 1/2inch from your scalp—believe me, take it down!"
Wash Your Braids Correctly
"The scalp should always get shampooed even with braids in the hair, shares Da Costa. "The proper procedure for shampooing braids is:"
- Dilute cleansing shampoo with ¾ water in a squeeze bottle with a straight spout
- Apply shampoo to the scalp and massage generously
- Rinse thoroughly and let the water and shampoo rinse over the braids, just smoothing hands over braids. Avoid "roughing up" your braids.
Skip Conditioner
"I actually advise my clients not to condition their braids—surprise, surprise!" shares N'Diaye. "Conditioning masks and conditioners tend to loosen braids because of their silken qualities. Conditioners will certainly affect the wear life span and often times will cut it in half. Use hydrating shampoos and oils sprays on braided hairstyles instead."
Relieve A Dry Scalp
"While your hair is in braids (or even without them), it's best to treat the scalp with a pre-shampoo—also know as pre-poo—oil treatment especially for dry, itchy scalp," shares Da Costa. "Apply oil, massage into scalp, and place under a steamer or heat for 15 minutes, then rinse, shampoo and condition. This method exfoliates and lubricates the scalp. On a daily basis, use a light hair oil or serum to lubricate the scalp."
Keep Your Hair Hydrated
"Best way to make sure your hair is constantly moisturized is to spritz your hair with a 8oz. bottle of water mixed with 3 table spoons of Beautiful Textures Tangle Taming Leave-In-Conditioner with 2 teaspoons of olive oil," explains Leatherwood. "Simply shake and spray whenever you feel like you need a little more moisture while wearing your protective style."
Care For Your Own Hair
"Post-braid installation, it's really important to condition your hair with a deep conditioner and clip your dead hair end, to avoid split ends," shares N'Diaye. "Your hair has been hibernating for some time and needs tender care and love. Take a scalp treatment and part your hair to carefully massage the oils with a fine tooth comb. While your hair is wet, gently scrape the comb against your scalp to lift all dry skin, dirt and build up—consider this an exfoliation process. I always recommend my clients use a rejuvenating scalp drops like Phyto Phytopolléine Botanical Scalp Treatment or Alter Ego's Revitalizing Lotion."

See how people like you are enjoying
greater financial security and peace of mind.
Don't take our word on it, look at what people are saying!
"Unbelievable! A fantastic, educational, enlightening read! I am a certified financial planner and have literally recommended this book to over 50 people in the week since I read it. Every one of my 400 clients will have it and use it as their "turn to" source when they are trying to remember why we have set up what we did. I will be forever grateful to have it as a reference to guide potential clients towards so they can read about the things we are talking about that no one has ever spoken to them about and they can't figure out why. Thank you, thank you for your efforts to bring people financial freedom."

"The concept offers a chance to accumulate much greater sums of money 'tax-free' than is possible with IRAs or 401(k) plans, without being forced to wait until age 59 ½ to use the money without penalties, or being forced to begin taxable withdrawals at 70 ½."
-Kent B., Engineer, recent grad of Law School
"When I think of the long-term effects on those who read Becoming Your Own Banker, I see: Less divorce in our country. Most of the divorces have financial matters at their root. Less need for government interference in out lives. Obeying the principles will preclude the need for Social Security. Peace of mind. This will have an effect of life span and overall health. Control of your own destiny. The ability to serve others more effectively. This concept allows all these things to happen. I'm glad I was introduced to it many years ago and was able to play a part in its' development."
-Roland N., Pharmacist, Birmingham, AL
"I wish I had learned about building my own private bank concepts earlier. Now I am in the 4th year of building my own bank. However, I was able to finance a car last year already if I wanted to. The system is amazingly simple to follow and it makes so much sense for the real wealth building and preservation. It provides more than recovering the interests and cost of the car and any major purchases; it also provides many instant tax-favored benefits I did not have before. I am not only using the system for car purchase, I am also building my own bank for emergency cash reserve, liquid cash for other investment opportunities, my retirement savings, etc. I wish I had started the system much earlier."
– C.L. – California
"As a part time college professor with three kids, it is important for me to know where every penny is going. The 2 in 1 Self Banking Concept showed me how I could use existing equity in my house to create a banking system that could pay off my current car loans. Now I am making the car payments to my bank instead of someone else's bank! It's amazing how much more money is available when you're working with someone who knows where to look and how to find it. Plus, if something were to happen to me, I know that my family will be taken care of financially. It's amazing to think that you can have that kind of peace of mind and make money at the same time!"
– S. B. – Maryland
"We had a 529 plan that had not made a dime in six years. Our 2 in 1 Self Banking Advisors walked us through the process and explained the concept after we read the book. Now we know what we will have when our kids get to college. Everyone with kids getting ready for college needs to get the 2 in 1 Self Banking Concept."
– L.M. – Florida

This work was to evaluate the differences of soil and plant analysis development (SPAD) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) readings and their relationship with leaf nitrogen accumulation (LNA). The study explored new indices to diagnose nitrogen (N) status. These indices were obtained by multiplying SPAD readings and leaf area index (LAI). Linear regression relationships between Chlorophyll values and N indicators showed the SPAD readings (Chl: LNA=0.0546×Chl-0.479, R2=0.94***, P<0.001). The projected results suggested that Chl values could play an important role for improving N status diagnosis from stem elongation to heading stages in paddy rice.
The association of 24 h urinary Na and potassium excretion with the risk of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) has not been studied in China. The aim of the present study was to examine this association by analysing the data from 1906 study participants living in north China. To this end, 24 h urine samples were collected. Of the 1906 participants, 471 (24·7 %) had the MetS. The mean urinary Na and K excretion was 228·7 and 40·8 mmol/d, respectively. After multivariate adjustment, the odds of the MetS significantly increased across the increasing tertiles of urinary Na excretion (1·00, 1·40 and 1·54, respectively). For the components of the MetS, the odds of central obesity, elevated blood pressure and elevated TAG, but not the odds of low HDL-cholesterol and elevated fasting glucose, significantly increased with the successive tertiles of urinary Na excretion. Furthermore, for every 100 mmol/d increase in urinary Na excretion, the odds of the MetS, central obesity, elevated blood pressure and elevated TAG was significantly increased by 29, 63, 22 and 21 %, respectively. However, urinary K excretion was not significantly associated with the risk of the MetS. These findings suggest that high Na intake might be an important risk factor for the MetS in Chinese adults.
In this paper, we study the mathematical formulation for an optimal control problem governed by a linear parabolic integro-differential equation and present the optimality conditions. We then set up its weak formulation and the finite element approximation scheme. Based on these we derive the a priori error estimates for its finite element approximation both in H1 and L2 norms. Furthermore some numerical tests are presented to verify the theoretical results.
P-type Cu1.8+x
Se (x = 0, 0.16, 0.20) compounds were synthesized by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering technique. A 100% enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient was achieved in the whole temperature interval for x = 0.16 and x = 0.20 bulks compared with that of the x = 0 bulk. The thermal conductivity was all below 1.6 W m−1 K−1 in the whole temperature interval for x = 0.16 and x = 0.20 bulks, showing a pronounced reduction compared with that of the x = 0 bulk. The lowest thermal conductivity 0.69 W m−1 K−1 was achieved in the x = 0.16 sample at 773 K, whereby a maximum ZT value of 1.23 was obtained, revealing that optimizing Cu content in Cu1.8+x
Se system is an effective method to improve the thermoelectric (TE) merit and indicating a great potential for TE application along with their nontoxicity and low cost.
The objective of the present study was to investigate age-related differences in erythrocyte membrane fluidity (EMF) and changes in antioxidant capacity following supplementation. A total of seventy-four children were randomly divided into two groups: group A1 was the placebo-controlled group and group A2 was supplemented daily with 600 μg retinol, 1·0 mg β-carotene, 100 mg tocopherol, 300 mg ascorbic acid and 200 μg Se. A total of ninety young people were randomly divided into B1 and B2 groups, and ninety-one elderly subjects were divided into C1 and C2 groups. Groups B1 and C1 were placebo-controlled groups, and groups B2 and C2 were daily supplemented with 900 μg retinol, 1·5 mg β-carotene, 200 mg tocopherol, 500 mg ascorbic acid and 400 μg Se. Results showed that plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) was 5·35 μmol/l in children, which was lower than in young and elderly people. The MDA levels of the young and elderly individuals in the treated groups were significantly lower compared with the control groups, but the supplementation did not alter MDA levels in children. At baseline, there was a lower value of polarisation (ρ) and microviscosity (η) in children, indicating a higher EMF, than in both the young and elderly subjects. After the 2-month trial, the ρ and η values of young and elderly subjects in the treated groups decreased significantly in comparison with the placebo groups, indicating an increase in EMF. In conclusion, there was a background of higher MDA levels and lower EMF in young and elderly people than in children, which could be improved by antioxidant supplementation.
