In observance of National Infant Immunization Week which ends Saturday, May 4, Oneida County is urging parents to vaccinate their children.
"The recommended immunization schedule is designed to protect babies early in life, when they are vulnerable and before it is likely that they will be exposed to diseases. It can protect children from 14 serious and potential-deadly diseases before their second birthday," according to a release from the Oneida County Health Department.
Oneida County operates a public health clinic through the Department of Health, where children and adults can be immunized and parents can receive immunization counseling and education. The clinic sees an average of 3,500 immunization visits per year.
Immunization clinics are by appointment only by calling 315-798-5747.
For information on the recommended immunization schedule visit the Centers for Disease Control website: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/index.html.

Many people enjoy vacation time, and millions of people around the world love to go camping. To make sure you have the best trip you can, continue reading. You will find this information helpful on your next camping adventure!
Although it is not an essential part of your back country camping gear, a machete is something that you may consider packing depending on where you are going. It is a very versatile tool in the wilderness. You can cut a trail, hack bamboo and vines for shelter, cut coconuts for water, chop firewood, and even use it as protection against wild animals.
If you are planning any kind of backcountry camping, a must carry item is a fire starter kit. If you are in a survival situation, fire is a way to cook, keep you warm, purify water, and signal for help. Many camping stores sell fire starters that can be used when wet and do not require any fuel. Also, try making fire when you are not in a survival situation so you know you can do it if the need arises.
If you are traveling with children, give them the opportunity to assist you when you get to the campground. They can carry gear, support you as you set up the tent and look for firewood. Not only will it keep them busy and out of trouble, it will be fun for them as well.
When you pack up your camp site to go home, leave a few logs and some kindling for the next camping group that comes along. If you have ever arrived at your site after dark, you know how tough it can be to find firewood! It's a very nice pay-it-forward gesture that will probably help out more than you can imagine.
If you've brought the kids along, feed them a "jungle" breakfast. Take mini-boxes of cereal, juice boxes and fruit out into the woods, and tie them to the trees. Then when your kids get up, let them search for their food. It's a great way to add a little magic to the camping experience.
Get everything you need ready for your meals before you get to your campsite. If you are only camping for a few days, this initial trip to the store should be all that you need to do. Stock up on nonperishable items, too. You don't want you or your family members to be hungry on your trip.
When camping, periodically do a tick check. Look for any brown or black spots that have just appeared on your skin. Ticks attach themselves to the skin without causing too much of a disturbance, so be sure to check yourself and your companions for ticks after spending time camping outdoors.
Be sure to choose the right site for your camping experience. The camping site can make or break your trip. Try to choose a site that is not too far away from help should you need it. Choose a site that is flat and somewhat apart from trees. You want a location that is far from critters and close to aid.
Do not approach any wild animals while you are camping. Something that may appear harmless and adorable could be incredibly territorial. Furthermore, be sure not to feed any animals, as doing so may lead to injuries. Avoid keeping any food inside of your tent to prevent animals from destroying your campsite. Keep it stored away safely or in a nearby tree.
Bugs can be a major problem with camping; they can cause disease, get into your food, and just be a nuisance. Take the proper measures to keep them away. This includes not putting on perfume or cologne, lighting citronella candles, avoiding swamp lands, and covering your skin, so they are not attracted to your scent.
You should bring food on your camping trips. You should plan out what and how many meals you plan on eating before going on your trip. As far as how much food you should bring, a good rule of thumb is to only carry the amount of food that you need to prepare your meals.
A great tip for anyone that is going camping is to take plenty of water. In this case, there is absolutely no such thing as too much water. Plan out how much water you will need and then try and at least double the amount just to be on the safe side.
Never force anyone to go camping with you, including family or girlfriends. Some people just don't enjoy being in nature, and they will be miserable and in turn, make you miserable as well. If your children are simply not interested, find a babysitter for the weekend and relax alone!
Watch out for irritants like poison ivy. It usually has recognizable triple-leaf clusters. However, poison sumac and poison oak tend to have more leaves and also need to be avoided. Keeping your skin completely covered when near these irritants can help prevent rashes. You should also carry some calamine lotion and allergy medication or antihistamines as a precaution.
Keep bears away by properly storing your food and disposing of your waste. When you leave food out or in your tent or shelter, nearby bears may destroy your site to find it. Keep it safe and way from your camp. Try placing it in a high place like on a tall tree branch or on a rope.
Duct tape is handy to bring along on your camping trip. Tents are usually more durable than they used to be, but they can still get torn. Well-placed duct tape can save a trip, especially when a hole rips on the top of your tent.
If you have more than three people camping with you, take along more than one tent. You are going to want to have some privacy at one time or another. The additional tent will make it possible to get some "me" time while at the camp site. It also gives you additional storage to keep animals out of your supplies.
Camping is more fun if you have good advice. Hopefully, you get a lot of that here. Have a great time on your camping adventure. If you utilize the advice in this article, your next camping adventure will be be enjoyed by all who attend.

Debra Messing lashed out at fellow actress Susan Sarandon on social media, criticizing her for giving too much credit to President Trump for the role he has played in politics.
The squabble erupted Wednesday from a Variety headline on Twitter, teasing an exclusive interview with Sarandon. It read: "Donald Trump has, if anything, inspired more women and people of color to run for office, says actress Susan Sarandon." In fact, Sarandon said Trump has "unintentionally" energized politics.
"We're on the verge of having the governors of Florida, Georgia and Maryland be people of color and one woman," she said.
The 71-year-old actress called it a "revolution," telling Variety that "maybe things had to get so bad before real change actually could happen, so we just have to stay awake."
She also said that "the kids are on fire."
"I've never heard millennials or kids in high school saying, 'I can't wait to vote.' That's huge," she told Variety. "They're really doing a good job of signing up kids, and that's what's going to make the change.
"I say: Take me down. Take over. Get rid of all these old people and get that young blood in there and they're going to make a difference. I'm very hopeful because of them."
[In Hollywood, there's a nerdy new hobby: Flipping the House]
The Variety post about Sarandon's interview drew a heated response from Messing, who is best known for her role in "Will & Grace." The actress berated Sarandon online, telling her to hush up about Trump.
"Oh yes, PLEASE let's give Trump CREDIT," Messing wrote in tweets.
She wrote:
I mean how else are you able to walk out on the street. Convince yourself that that this CATASTROPHE of a President who you said was better that HRC IS NOT ripping children away from parents seeking asylum, holding children.
INDEFINITELY in internment camps with their new policy, DESTROYING all attempts to protect our environment (yes the water you properted to care about), endangered animals, taking away women's ACCESS to health care and legal abortion, trying to block POC from Voting with extreme.
Judges who will support jerrymandering efforts, not to mention destroying ALL good will and allied relationships across the Globe. Oh, and lest you forget Syria, Crimea, and putting PRO-RUSSIA agenda BEFORE the United States best interests. YES, do go on."
Messing continued on her rant, telling Sarandon, with a hint of sarcasm, to go ahead and "LAUD the effect Trump has had."
"Out of DESPERATION & PANIC for the DESTRUCTION of the Soul of our country," Messing tweeted some more. "But you don't want to look at THAT part of the equation. Because then you'd have to admit you were dead WRONG running around bellowing that HRC was more dangerous than Trump. Only a self righteous, narcissist would continue to spout off and not — in the face of Americans' pain and agony — be contrite and apologize for your part in this catastrophe."
Sarandon responded to the criticism, telling Messing to listen to her entire interview.
It's not the first time the two have taken their political sparring to social media. As People reported, leading up to the 2016 presidential election, Messing and Sarandon got into it after Sarandon said on MSNBC that given the choice between Hillary Clinton and Trump, she did not know for whom she would vote. Sarandon said that "some people feel that Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately — if he gets in, then things will really explode." Then a Twitter war ensued.
Ultimately, Sarandon, a New Yorker, says she voted for Jill Stein.
"I knew [Jill Stein] wasn't going to make the difference in the election," she told the Guardian last year.

One of the biggest lessons that I have learned this year is that a life without goals is a life that happens to you, and not for you.
When you have goals (no matter how simple they may be the first time you do this exercise) you now have something to aim for.
In a recent blog that I wrote about Who should set Goals? I touched on the point that having goals is the difference between reacting to life, and creating a business and life you love.
So what could your goals be?
- Automate business processes
- Spend more time with family
- Take up a hobby
- Find time to exercise
- Work a 4-day week
- Go to New York for a weekend
What next?
Once you start to become clear on what your goals are, you can then begin to create a plan to achieve them. It may be that you need to learn new skills, such as how to outsource effectively, you might need to improve your time management strategies. It could be that documenting how you spend your time every day for a week (an exercise I explain in my book Time Management for Entrepreneurs) enables you to reclaim an hour a day by changing how you spend your time.
Your time is YOUR life too!
Once a quarter I run a 1-day Goal Setting Success Event where business owners discover how to:
- Beat procrastination and feel less overwhelmed in their business and life
- Find the time to identify exciting and measurable business and life goals
- Create a 12-month business growth plan and use it to make 2016 the best business year ever
- Understand how effective outsourcing can turn their time into profit
- Learn how to stay motivated by celebrating the successes to maintain excitement and momentum
If you can identify with any of the above then this event is for you!
Be an Early Bird
As a business owner you are well aware that the early bird gets the best deal! At the moment you can take advantage of the early bird special offer for the next 1-Day Goal Setting for Success Event which is being held on 26 January 2016 in London (Liverpool Street).
Got your Place already? **Play it forward, if you have already secured your early bird place why not share this opportunity with a friend or business colleague. Help them make 2016 the best business year ever.**

INDIANAPOLIS--It was if the Bulls and Pacers decided to use their preseason opener to resume the fierce battle they waged in April, when the two teams faced off in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The play was physical, ragged and intense, Carlos Boozer struggled throughout the contest, Chicago's defense was dominant, the second unit gave the team a major boost and the Bulls methodically came back from a large deficit to eventually leave the unfriendly confines of Conseco Fieldhouse with a 95-86 victory Friday night.
"To me, your first game, you've got to establish who you are. What our identity is not going to be based on what happened last year. We have to re-establish who we are this year, so this is the first step," Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said afterwards. "There's a lot of things we've got to clean up, obviously.
"Defensively, I thought our defense was horrid in the first quarter and then the last three quarters, I thought it was better, but it's still not anywhere near where it needs to be. I thought we gave up a ton of second shots, so that has to be cleaned up," the reigning NBA Coach of the Year continued about his team, which committed turnovers on the evening. "I always say, 'You have to eliminate the ways in which you beat yourself,' and it starts with those turnovers."
Concurred Derrick Rose: "Turnovers. We can deal with missed shots; that's going to happen in the game. But turnovers, that's something that we've definitely got to change and that starts with me. A perfect game to me is no turnovers. I don't care about any other stat, other than turnovers."
A sloppy start, compounded by Rose (16 points, 10-of-10 from the free-throw line, six turnovers) picking up two fouls in the first two minutes of the contest, didn't bode well for the Bulls. Playing catch-up from the outset against the Central Division rival Pacers, a mix of unforced turnovers and untimely fouls didn't help the situation.
"The first five minutes of the game, I didn't like the tone at all, on either end," said Thibodeau. "It was real easy for them."
Although the Bulls faced a double-digit deficit, backup point guard C.J. Watson (15 points) was a bright spot, filling in for Rose with ten first-quarter points to keep the visitors afloat. However, the rugged inside presence of Pacers power forward Tyler Hansbrough and a strong overall team showing allowed the home team to take a 33-22 advantage into the second stanza.
After Watson picked up his own second foul late in the opening period, Thibodeau reinserted Rose, who mostly played orchestrator for his teammates, guiding them back into close contact with the Pacers behind stalwart defense from the reserve post duo of Taj Gibson (12 points, nine rebounds, two blocked shots) and Omer Asik. By the midway point of the quarter, the Bulls had knotted up the count at 37 apiece, following rookie Jimmy Butler (eight points, 3-for-3 from the field) hitting the third of his first three NBA shot attempts.
"I was nervous at first, but those guys told me to calm down and do what I've been doing for however many years and that's play basketball. They wanted me to be successful and they said I did all right," said the beaming NBA novice after the game.
"Everything about the game surprised me," he continued. "You can get away with stuff in college by being more athletic or your length. At this level, everybody can do everything, so it was definitely a learning experience out there.
"That first jumper, off the glass--I didn't call it, so I don't know--but after that, I think my nerves started to calm and after my first defensive trip, I was like, 'Maybe I do belong here.'"
His teammates and coaches took notice.
"He's great, man. He's a great addition to our team, with him being so young and understanding the game. He has a lot of confidence--quiet confidence--but when he's out there, he's always doing something good. He can defend, plays smart--especially to be a rookie--and I think he's going to be one of the pieces Coach is going to use a lot," said Rose.
Added Thibodeau: "And like all rookies, he did some things well, some things not so well, but overall, I was very pleased with what he did. He's worked very hard, he's studied hard, he's prepared himself well thus far and now he has to show he can do it over the course of the season, but I think he's got the right attitude and the right approach, and that's the first step."
Thibodeau was pleased, in general--after all, he's never completely satisfied--with how his reserves performed.
"The defense was great," Thibodeau observed. "That group the second unit gave us a good lift.
"I love our depth," he added, choosing his words carefully, so as to avoid a fine so early into the campaign. "It was interesting today because of course, Derrick had a couple calls that were tough calls, but it was good because it got C.J. into the game early and I thought he gave us a big lift. I think we all have a lot of confidence in his ability."
Chicago would seize its first lead of the game at 40-39 and with Luol Deng (16 points, six rebounds) having one of his quietly effective nights, the Bulls slowly built a small cushion against their hosts. Despite neither Boozer nor Rose--who did hit seven free throws--making a first-half field goal, the visitors, buoyed by a defense that held the Pacers to 2-of-23 shooting went into the intermission with a 52-47 advantage, after a Deng bucket in the waning moments of the period.
While the Bulls maintained their slim lead, the feisty Pacers continued to battle, keeping things close behind center Roy Hibbert's (14 points, seven rebounds) aggressive interior offense. Rose, however, started to find his offensive mojo--as both a scorer and a playmaker, and even on the offensive glass-but with active swingman Paul George (17 points, 10 rebounds) and other comrades providing high-energy plays, the contest evolved into a back-and-forth affair.
"I charged, traveled, like some high school turnovers, but I just know that comes with being excited," said Rose. "But I know my game is definitely going to come back to me, since I've been working so hard this summer.
"It feels good just being in the training room, just seeing guys excited about going out there playing, and the fans, seeing them come, cheer, boo against us, it doesn't matter. Just us being in this atmosphere is great," he continued. "I hope the fans like it. We were out there, really getting at it. A lot of tough plays, really diving for the ball, rebounding, a lot of intensity and it shows that both teams are trying to do something this year."
Boozer (seven points on 3-for-3 shooting, six rebounds, three turnovers) wasn't as appreciative of the rowdy Indianapolis crowd, many of whom targeted Bulls players--especially him--for verbal abuse.
"Some of them are funny, some of them are not so funny," he quipped. "I've got to knock the rust off, knock the cobwebs off and then, now we can start getting loose a little bit more.
"It seems like we've played them 20 times," he went on to say. "Doesn't it seem like we played them a lot over the last 12, 16 months? We're very familiar with them, to say the least.
Added Thibodeau: "I did like the way Boozer and Ronnie were playing off each other. I thought his floor game was very good. I thought he had some bunnies that he normally makes, that he didn't make. But some good, some bad. Just got to keep building."
The on-court action couldn't be described as crisp, but the Central Division rivals exhibited midseason effort, in terms of hustle, as if they were picking up from where they left off in their spring first-round playoff series, as the brand of "smash-mouth basketball" Pacers sideline skipper Frank Vogel--the league's youngest head coach, hired on a permanent basis in the offseason after ending the franchise's postseason drought as an interim coach--employs paid dividends. However, through three quarters of play, the Bulls held a tenuous 72-71 lead.
Gibson continued his consistent play, using his left-handed jump hook--a product of post move-intensive summer workouts--a mid-range jumper and solid awareness to provide the Bulls with a scoring presence, along with Watson resuming his first-half efforts. But the Bulls were mainly propelled by their defense, which led the league a season ago and looked to be top form--rebounding, contesting of shots, hustle plays and help-side defense were all at a high level--despite it only being the preseason opener, helping the Conseco Fieldhouse guests gain some separation from home-standing Indiana.
Joakim Noah (10 points, eight rebounds began to put his stamp on the contest's stretch run, with plenty of activity on both ends of the floor, particularly the backboards, while also playing his usual role as the team's formidable back line of defense. As the game wound down, the Bulls, equipped with a double-digit lead, would cruise to a hard-fought triumph, with a rematch looming Tuesday in Chicago.
"They're a good team, I'll say. There's no other way you can put it. They're a good team and when you play against good teams, sometimes the games aren't going to be that pretty," Rose explained. "We know each other--know the players, coaches--like the back of our hand. It's the same way with them. We make things tough on them sometimes, too."

Falls Prevention
- : Online
Nurses hold an important role in preventing falls. We need to be able to recognise our patients' risk, treat patients who have fallen, and implement successful falls prevention programs.
According to the World Health Organisation, falls, and the injuries they cause, are major public health problems. Not only because falls lead to around 20-30% of mild to severe injuries, but also because more than 50% of hospitalisations from falls are among people aged 65 years and older (2007).
It's not just the injuries caused by falls that are the problem, some of which can be life-limiting if not life-threatening, but the post-fall syndrome that often occurs among the elderly.
This is where hospitalisation causes loss of autonomy, confusion, immobilisation and depression, which can put a further restriction on daily activities and often requires greater support from family and social services to rehabilitate the individual.
The Cost of Falls The costs of falls is increasing as our population ages.
According to the Australian and New Zealand Falls Prevention Society, around 30% of adults aged over 65 years fall once a year or more.
As our population ages, with an estimated 23% being aged over 65 by 2050, this is a significant cause for concern. If the incidence rate remains the same, it's predicted to cost our healthcare economy $1.4 billion per year by 2051.
It's not just the financial implications we need to consider but the impact on our hospitals too. During 2010, 240,000 bed days were taken up by injuries from falls, which is set to double if the trend continues.
Let's not forget the physical cost to our patients. A fractured hip from a fall has a slow recovery and is the most vulnerable injury to post-operative complications, around 25% of hip fractures lead to loss of life. Between 2002 and 2012 there was a 22% increase in admissions from falls causing hip fractures.
What is a Fall? What is a fall and what causes people to fall?
When we talk about a fall, we tend to use this definition – 'inadvertently coming to rest on the ground, floor or other lower level, excluding intentional change in position to rest in furniture, wall or other objects.'
The Victorian Quality Council defines a fall as 'a sudden, unintentional change in position causing an individual to land at a lower level, on an object, the floor, the ground or other surfaces.'
This definition means a fall can occur in many ways including someone slipping, tripping over, being lowered to the ground, their legs giving way, or simply losing their balance. However, our patients might not see things the same way and will often refer to their loss of balance or a stumble as a 'fall'.
For the context of this article, we're talking about falls that result in injury or death.
There are multiple reasons why an individual may fall leading to injury. These may include health-related reasons, such as:
- Balance issues and dizziness
- Muscle weakness and stiff joints
- Poor eyesight
- Low blood pressure
- Reduced feeling in the feet and legs
- Slower reaction times
- Difficulty concentrating
- Dementia
- Side effects from medication
There are environmental factors we need to consider too. As housework becomes more difficult due to many of the physiological reasons cited, the home becomes a hazard.
Wet floors, unsecured rugs, dim lighting, attempting to reach high or low for items, and rushing up or down the stairs to use the bathroom during the night are all common causes of falls.
Falls in the Community The causes of falls can vary depending on where they occur.
According to the American Geriatrics Society et al. (2001), 35-45% of falls occur with adults living in the community, i.e. in their home or local environment. This rises to 50% of those aged 80 years or older.
It's reasonable to suggest that the majority of community-based falls are caused by environmental factors, as these would not be present in an aged care facility or hospital. Around 10% of falls occur around the stairs, for example, where single floor access would be the norm in a healthcare facility.
Falls in Care Settings What then, causes falls in inpatients?
Unfortunately, falls among hospital inpatients are common, accounting for 2.3 to 7 falls per 1000 patient days (Halfon et al. 2001), with approximately 30% of those falls resulting in injury.
Confusion and co-morbidities are significant risk factors within a healthcare setting, but there's something else we need to consider – staffing levels.
A study by Hitcho et al. (2004) found that more patients were ambulating unassisted at the time of their fall and that although 46 of the study sample participants would use aids for this at home, only 3 (out of 183) used one in the hospital. This suggests that fear of losing dignity and independence is a significant risk factor.
Falls Risk Assessment Using Fall Risk Assessment Tools (FRAT) is vital in identifying individuals at risk of falling.
To put an effective falls prevention strategy in place, we need to use an assessment tool to establish which of our elderly patients are at risk. This should be used on admission, on transfer, following a change in status, a fall and if a long-term inpatient at frequent and regular intervals dependent on the patient's needs and risk factors.
Common components of a falls risk assessment tool should include:
- Medical diagnosis
- Pre-existing medical conditions
- Medication
- History of falls
- Gait and transfer ability
- Ambulatory aids needed
- Mental capacity
The Morse fall scale is one such tool which is a research-driven and therefore popular assessment tool for medical professionals. Using the components listed above, it creates a risk score that can be used to identify patients that need fall prevention interventions putting in place.
Another tool used for fall risk assessment is the Braden assessment tool. Though developed to identify patients at risk of developing pressure sores and ulcers by identifying: sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition and friction and shear; a moderate to high risk on this scale is also indicative of a risk of falls.
Though many hospitals and care facilities rely on this tool to assess risk for both falls and pressure sores, it would be more beneficial to use a tool, such as the Morse fall scale, specifically designed to identify patients at risks of falls for an effective prevention strategy to be implemented.
Implementing a Fall Prevention Strategy Implementing a Fall Prevention Strategy for high-risk patients is essential.
Once patients at risk of falls have been identified and the particular factors that led to that result, a strategy can be implemented to reduce that risk and prevent falls from occurring.
Planning should be patient specific and address their needs to mitigate the risk – this might be as simple as treating the medical condition that causes a risk factor, like dizziness or poor eyesight; ensuring aids are always available for use within easy reach of the patient; and ensuring everything is documented, and the team fully briefed at each shift change.
Education and training among all staff is important in preventing falls.
A falls prevention lead who ensures that training is up to date and relevant, that all staff have attended and are aware of their responsibilities is key here. Clear written policies, easy to use assessment tools and clear documentation are crucial.
Ensuring that each risk factor is adequately addressed is important when it comes to preventing falls, this includes environmental causes along with personal and medical. Just like in the home, a hospital or care facility has its share of hazards that can cause a risk of falls to our patients.
Dimming the lights late at night can make it difficult for our patients to see how to get to the bathroom, cleaners using extension leads that are a trip hazard, and untrained friends and family attempting to help their loved one are all environmental risks we should be aware of, and continually monitor.
Risk Factors and Fall Prevention Prevention of risks is the best way of reducing the opportunity for falls to occur.
The best way to prevent falls is by removing those environmental factors that pose a risk. Having cleaners in the room/ward when patients are less likely to be mobilising, for example. Ensuring that health and safety is of paramount concern to every member of staff in that department.
There are other things we can do to help our patients on a more personal level too. Improving their overall health and fitness through effective medication, adequate nutrition and physiotherapy is one way of restoring strength and motivation, particularly when patients have had a long stay as an inpatient.
Being on the ball with assessment and continually reviewing our patients is the best way to ensure we prevent as many falls as we can.
Complications from Falls
The last thing we want is for our patients to come to harm under our care. The complications of an in-hospital fall include pneumonia, infection, extended stays and post-fall syndrome.
Many patients develop anxiety and a fear of falling after experiencing a fall-related injury, which can lead to decreased quality of life, functional limitations and depression (Boyd and Stevens 2009).
In fact, a study by Delbaere et al. (2010) found that the risk of falling raises the risk of a fall, finding a correlation between anxiety levels about falling and other risk factors. Despite 33% of the anxious group having a low physiological risk of falling, they experienced multiple or injurious falls during the one-year follow up than the vigorous activity group who had little fear or perception of risk.
The causes of falls are multiple – physiological, psychological and environmental – but regardless of the cause, falls are costly in terms of health to the patient, and our economy. Falls prevention is especially a critcal part of aged care, whether the patient resides in the community, a care facility or as a hospital inpatient.
Scenario: Your Patient has Had a Fall, Now What?
patient has arrived on the ward. You have completed their falls screening and found they are at a high risk of falling. This has led you to complete a falls risk assessment and put interventions in place to decrease their risk of falling. But, despite this, they have a fall. What do you do?
Once we have determined that the patient is stable, we then take baseline measurements of the patients' vital signs including their blood glucose levels and neurological observations if indicated. We also assess the patient for any injuries and monitor them for any changes in level of consciousness, the presence of headaches, amnesia, or vomiting.
If it is safe to do so, we can move the patient. This should be done with consideration to the patients' conditions and the hospital's guidelines on lifting – which Australia-wide is a No-Lift policy. Therefore, this may mean making use of an appropriate lifting device.
The patient must then be monitored. Special consideration must be given to patients on anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapies who are at an increased risk of bleeding.
All falls must be reported to the medical officer and documented. Documentation should include a risk incident report in addition to documentation within the patient's history. The patient's family must also be notified.
It should be noted after a fall the patient is automatically at a higher risk of falling again. Analysis of the fall should occur to prevent the individual from additional falls.

From what I've seen, its far easier to just repaint the entire blaster in a similar color (eliminates color matching). Oh, and if you're spraypainting, get some krylon fusion.

As I said I have not not alot of testes yet but I will be once I finish the mod.
Posted 25 November 2010 - 06:47 PM
It depends on what gun you want to do, I believe that krylon fusion cherry red is almost exactly the same color as the red strike series. If you are just trying to restore a beat up or horribly painted classic, using colors that are close to stock colors and doing a good job of it will convey that you care about it and wanted it to look stock. Ahtanie's SM1K remake with a fury fire is a great example of this, search it up to see what I mean.

A "mule", from Guyana, was arrested at Toulouse Blagnac Airport with an accomplice, smuggling 500 grams of Cocaine …
The technique has become classic, but it is still too dangerous. A man in his twenties was arrested at the airport of Toulouse-Blagnac while carrying 500 grams of cocaine in his body, estimated to be worth 35,000 euros reports France 3 Sud . The case dates back to last Wednesday.
The "mule" from Guyana, that transported drugs in bags, was arrested along with another young man. This is an alleged accomplice, who was waiting for his "colleague" in Blagnac, in trafficking between South America and Europe.
fatal risk in case of failure of one sachet
This way of conveying the drug can turn into a tragedy if one of the bags is to break in the stomach during travelling.
The duo was imprisoned and investigation by the Regional Criminal Police (SRPJ) .

After nearly two decades of relative calmness in the directory services realm, we are now seeing some disruption as IT organizations shift towards the cloud. As the winds of change blow and shake loose the hold Microsoft® Active Directory®(AD or MAD) has on the directory services space, admins are beginning to look for a next generation, cloud-based alternative to the traditional, on-prem directory service. With this cloud focus in mind, IT admins are wondering why they should use JumpCloud® over Active Directory.
The History of Directory Services
The history of directory services spans back to the creation of LDAP (the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) in 1993 by our own advisor, Tim Howes, with a few colleagues at the University of Michigan. Its success as a directory service elevated it to become the standard directory protocol for the internet in 1997. This led to the invention of two legacy directory service platforms called OpenLDAP™ in 1998 and Active Directory in 1999.
When it came to choosing a directory service, IT admins were largely restricted to these two options. OpenLDAP was designed primarily for open-source use in the data center, whereas AD really took the lead with how easily it integrated with Windows® machines that dominated the typical office space at the time.
As time went on, the introduction of web applications, like Salesforce®, and a whole slew of non-Windows® resources put a huge strain on the functionality of Active Directory. Patch on fixes like web application single sign-on (SSO) solutions were introduced as a way to connect on-prem identities to the new resources in the nebulous cloud. As more and more of these resources are straying away from an on-prem foundation (and away from Microsoft's Windows operating system), IT admins are beginning to see the difficulty in leveraging so many add on solutions to fill the gaps in MAD.
New Directory Service Needed
While this patchwork solution is functional, improvements could certainly be made. With change comes great responsibility, and the directory services space is ready for some disruption. Now, when considering altering your directory service platform, there is a lot to keep in mind. Of course, it's vital to evaluate the internal requirements of your IT organization to ensure the new directory service platform meets all of its needs.
These needs should play a central role in weighing the pros and cons of various directory service alternatives. The first thing that should be taken into account is if your organization is looking to move towards the cloud entirely. Second, the platform support within the company should be considered. Are the resources solely Windows-based, or is the organization leveraging a wide range of platforms and providers including macOS®, Linux®, G Suite™, and more? The third major point is whether the organization has the resources available to them to operate their own infrastructure or if third-party help is needed.
JumpCloud Over Active Directory
When it comes to directory services, IT admins are looking at the next generation cloud directory service called JumpCloud Directory-as-a-Service® (DaaS) as a replacement for Active Directory. The JumpCloud platform covers a vast majority of the use cases of traditional MAD implementations, but also includes native support for cloud apps, cloud infrastructure, and Mac/Linux systems. Being a full-fledged directory service with an array of features such as SSO, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and event logging, all hosted in the cloud, DaaS is the ideal solution that meets the needs of a modern office.If you're ready to learn more about why use JumpCloud over Active Directory, drop us a line. You're welcome to sign up for a free account that allows you to manage your first 10 users for free.

Abu Dhabi-UAE: 02 June, 2014 – Since its launch earlier this year, the Institute Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (iInnovation) at Masdar Institute of Science and Technology has been focused on developing new programs and partnerships to leverage the UAE's strengths with other innovation hubs across the world.
It is helping to develop a new Masdar-centered innovation hub in the UAE, learning from the best of other innovation hubs such as Silicon Valley and building mutually beneficial collaborations between academia and industry.
As part of its mission, iInnovation seeks to contribute useful new ideas for discussion with government, industry and other stakeholders, in response to the UAE government's active leadership in innovation and entrepreneurship. During the coming year the Center will contribute creative proposals for new programs in response to the UAE government's increasing willingness to experiment and seek innovative solutions. The Center plays a key role in translating technology developed by the four other Masdar Institute Research Centers (iCenters) into commercial products, services and processes.
Masdar Institute's graduate engineering students already show entrepreneurial instincts. Recently, a Masdar Institute MSc student won the Khalifa Fund's Technopreneur competition for his technology-focused business concept. Two students have also formed startup companies, while five students have won national or regional business plan competitions. Additionally, two students have been selected to compete in the second round of the Khalifa Fund Ibtikari Competition.
One of the most exciting developments of the year for iInnovation was the formation of a new multi-year collaboration with BP to develop new ways to accelerate technology innovation in the UAE. The collaboration with BP has already accelerated the introduction of new student scholarships, seed grants and seminar speakers. The new scholarships are expected to further encourage pre-graduation student start-ups. Two new iInnovation seed grant programs for faculty, one conducted jointly with MIT, will focus on translational research with commercial outcomes. At the same time, the iInnovation Laboratory (iLab) offers space and basic facilities for small faculty-student teams internally working on technology translation.
Dr. Fred Moavenzadeh, President, Masdar Institute, said: "The research and innovation drive at Masdar Institute assumes significance not because it is a novelty but more so, it is a necessity considering today's economic and social realities. The UAE leadership recognizes this and supports us in continuous innovation that remains relevant to the wider community and targets future generations. We hope the initiatives undertaken by iInnovation will encourage young entrepreneurs and help more technology start-ups to be established in the UAE."
Dr. Bruce Walker Ferguson, Head of iInnovation and Professor, Engineering Systems and Management, Masdar Institute, said: "At this stage, iInnovation is more action-oriented than research-oriented, with most of our work directed to developing new programs and partnerships. We are proud of the new BP Innovation Scholarships, which represent an innovative way to integrate entrepreneurship and education by encouraging students to create new companies before they graduate."
In March 2014, the Center completed a case study on a UAE-based sustainability company Keep It Clean. Authored by Dr. Ferguson along with Noora Ahmad Abdulrahman and Yusra Ahmad Abdulrahman – two UAE National interns from the University of Arizona – the case study provides insights into the challenges and opportunities of sustainability-focused entrepreneurship in the UAE.
Dr. Ferguson added: "We have also considered the question of how to create a UAE-optimized entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports the formation of new companies. The UAE Forum on Innovation and Entrepreneurship, co-sponsored by Masdar Institute and MIT in 2013 and also co-sponsored by BP in 2014, helps to identify how the UAE can ensure growth in entrepreneurship and innovation. Given the UAE's potential to play a dynamic role in global innovation, I foresee tremendously interesting and productive new relationships over the next year."

Five Steps to Develop a Working Trading Philosophy – Introduction
The financial industry is one of the largest industries in the world. It provides the capital needed for other industries to thrive. Every day, millions of people participate in this industry. In the forex market alone, more than $5 trillion change hands. Some of the participants are usually the brightest people in their industry. Therefore, for you to succeed in it, you need to have a philosophy. The following is a simple guide on how you can create such a philosophy if you want to succeed in the industry.
Technical Knowledge
The first thing you need to do is to have a technical knowledge of finance and economics. This knowledge is gained by taking a financial-related course in school. If you are yet to go to college, you should consider doing so and take a course that will introduce you to these concepts. If you have done a course that is unrelated to finance, don't worry. You can start by enrolling in one of the short courses that are offered online. The benefit of taking these courses is that they will help you understand the key concepts. For example, it will help you to understand what concepts like GDP and GNP mean and how to read and interpret a balance sheet.
Generate a general view of the market
Second, you need to have a general view about the market. Every investor have a view about this. For example, Ray Dalio uses the famed template to make decisions while Warren Buffet has a view of buying cheap and holding stocks for the long term. Bill Ackman has a view of buying and influencing the management to influence change. Your views of the market will depend on how you read, what you read, and how you interpret them.
There is a lot of literature on the market out there. The materials include books on all fields including on finance, economics, hedge funds, macro, currencies, stocks, and business among others. A rule I have always advised my students to follow is on reading different materials. By reading, you learn new things and you also learn from the experiences of other people. For example, reading a book by David Einhorn will tell you how he started his fund with less than a million dollars and grew it to billions of assets. Similarly, reading Stress Test by the former treasury secretary (Timothy Geithner) will tell you about his views on the crisis. I recommend that you read a book every month.
Exchanging Ideas With Fellow Traders
An important way to grow as a trader is to exchange ideas with people in the industry. This is the main reason why many wealthy people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to attend the meeting at Davos. They want to make deals and also listen from their fellow wealthy peers. Similarly, you should do the best to learn from other traders and investors. A good way to do this is to attend conferences and seminars om trading.
Finally, trading will give you the knowledge and experience that you need to develop and master your craft. You should employ all the skills learned in the previous four points to better your trading skills. You should view all trades that you start as a learning experience for you. In this, you should learn from the winning and losing trades as well.

Recent plummeting oil prices have demonstrated the volatility of the industry and the need for governments to plan budgets on the basis of potentially "enormous forecast errors", the chairman of the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has told MSPs.
The sector was hit after the price of Brent crude oil dropped to below 50 US dollars (£33) a barrel, having been at about 110 US dollars (£74) between 2010 until midway through last year.
Robert Chote told Holyrood's Finance Committee that such changes demonstrate the high degree of difficulty economists face when trying to forecast receipts.
The OBR, set up to provide independent analysis to the UK Government, has downgraded its projections for oil receipts in 2016-17 from £2.4 billion in December to £600 million, and it is forecasting less than £1 billion each year until 2019/20.
The Scottish Government has been criticised for its oil price predictions after stating in its white paper on independence that receipts would be between £6.8 billion and £7.9 billion in 2016/17.
SNP MSP John Mason asked Mr Chote is there were lessons to learn about predicting oil revenues.
"It is very difficult – if I could predict it accurately I would be doing something much more remunerative instead," Mr Chote said.
"The lesson I draw from this … is that this is a highly uncertain and very mobile forecast, and you have a very volatile path for receipts.
"That forecast could have been wrong in the opposite direction and this is something that is affected by the oil price, by what's going on with production, by what's going on with the level of investment in the industry.
"It is not the most volatile of receipts by some distance for nothing."
Mr Chote said that in the past oil revenues had fallen from £12 billion to £1 billion in a year, and then rebounded, with prices driven by global demand and various geo-political factors.
"The forecast errors are enormous and the lesson to draw from that is we are unlikely to move to a point where this is trivial to forecast in the future, and whoever is getting those receipts has to plan on that basis," he added.

9 Songs Michael Winterbottom
Published Feb 01, 2006Celebrated British director Michael Winterbottom raised quite a few eyebrows when he premiered 9 Songs, a controversial, experimental film that challenged the confines of mainstream cinema; it's otherwise known and labelled as "the most sexually explicit British film of all time." Not surprisingly, he lost the war with the censors (that's what happens when you show a cum shot) and the film was relegated to limited screenings and basically sentenced to DVD, but his vision was an inspired one. Simply put, 9 Songs is structured in three ways: a concert film, a love story and a tasteful porn flick. American Lisa (Margo Tilley) falls for Brit Matt (Kieran O'Brien) while living in London; the two share a flat, go to see bands like Super Furry Animals, Franz Ferdinand and Primal Scream on a weekly basis, and fuck like rabbits in an array of positions and methods. It's an interesting concept, but the film becomes monotonous after the pattern is revealed, despite a short running time of 69 cheeky minutes. Winterbottom, thankfully, includes an interview to explain the reason for making the film, which considering the context, works much nicer than a commentary. He's convincing in his argument that the film is an exploration of a relationship and how the sex is merely an expression of physical love fully realised, but without anyone to challenge him it's hardly argumentative. O'Brien is much more to the point in his interview, admitting how Winterbottom approached him to star in his "porn film," immediately putting a kibosh on the director's suave depiction, and showing his admirable humility in expressing how embarrassing some of the scenes were to shoot. Tilley tackles the issues of the film and its repercussions in her interview, coming across more seriously and full of contemplation about the process of making such a daring film. The music is also divided into its own part for those who appreciate the concert performances over the sex, and some extras, including promo videos by Elbow, Dandy Warhols and the Von Bondies, are added to boot. Recommended for those porn-loving romantic music nerds and controversial film seekers, but not very highly for the unlike majority. (Alliance Atlantis)
