When you decide to introduce bird feeders into your garden, make a commitment to the care of your feathered friends. Birds come to rely on a food source, especially in the winter, so make sure to keep your feeders well-stocked and clean throughout all the seasons.
Reasons to Feed the Birds
The best reason to serve up a delightful bird feast in your garden is to encourage them to stop for a visit and, if you're lucky, choose to nest in your yard. By having a large population of birds, you help to rid your garden naturally of unwanted pests and promote a healthy, well-balanced ecosystem. Birds also bring pleasure, a chance to enjoy watching and learning the different species, and the additional symphony of song in the evening and morning. Who doesn't enjoy a little friendly tune while digging in the dirt?
Birds are also particularly beneficial to lawns. If you have a large carpet of green, then you know the struggles necessary to keep it healthy and maintained. Birds can help you with this quest by feasting on all your grass's enemies. Even if you live in a mostly urban environment, bird feeders play a crucial role in your yard, no matter how small. As more metropolitan areas spread into natural landscapes, the birds' natural food sources disappear. Therefore, your garden becomes a critical food supply for our fine feathered friends.
Types of Bird Feeders
There are two main categories of bird feeders, natural bird feeding through plants and supplemental feeding.
Natural Bird Feeders
By planting the correct types of plants for your area, the birds will naturally come to feed on your freshly-grown banquet. Native plant varieties are your best bet, but the following plants offer a good food source for most birds:
- Black-eyed Susan
- Coneflower
- Tickseed
- Cosmos
- Feverfew
- Millet Grass
- Scabious
- Sunflower
- Any fruit or berry producing plant
Even placing something as simple as a piece of wood that you routinely turn over will help the birds catch leaf-chomping insects, slugs, and snails. Also, if you can tolerate them, dead trees are a great natural food source for many types of birds.
Supplemental Feeding
Although using natural methods to feed your birds will help, ultimately the only way to truly ensure birds in your garden year around is through supplemental bird feeding. Supplemental feeding also increases the number and variety of birds in your yard. These types of feeders can be either commercially produced or handmade. The most common bird feeder structures are:
- Platform Feeders - A feeder with a flat surface on top, it functions nicely for all types of birds. Some include a roof, known as Fly-Through Feeders. These are perfect for attracting chickadees, nuthatches, and finches, which are all natural predators of common garden pests such as loopers and cabbage worms.
- Tube Feeders - Very common with active bird watchers, these are long tubes that hold the seed and have many small perches, allowing a flock to eat all at one time. As the perches are usually quite small, these are best for smaller bird types and are frequently used for attracting finches.
- Hopper Feeders - These restrict the birds from overeating by storing the food in a hopper. The seed lasts longer, and some of these feeders can even be "squirrel proof", although the accuracy of that claim will depend on the intelligence of your garden squirrels.
- Specialty Feeders - With the popularity of bird watching and feeding over the past decade, the market for bird feeders has exploded. You can easily find a variety of specialty types including Wire Mesh Feeders, Thistle Socks, Suet Feeders, Woodpecker Feeders, Bubble Feeders, Window Feeders, and many more.
Whichever type of feeder you chose, make sure it has a roof to keep the toxic mold from developing and that it is not constructed from plywood as chickadees will eat the glue. Also, clean your feeders often to prevent diseases and deter rats.
Make Your Own
For a quick easy craft, you can make your own winter bird feeder with a pinecone, birdseed, and peanut butter. Simply spread the peanut butter over the entire pinecone surface, roll it in the seed, and hang it outside for the birds to enjoy. This craft is fun to do with children, and the feeders make great gifts!
Seed Preferences
Different kinds of birdseed will attract different varieties of birds. Check with your local Audubon Society or Bird Shop for their recommendations for your specific area.
After selecting your bird feeder, placement is of utmost importance. The more feeders you place in your yard, the more birds will visit -- but you will also have more maintenance. You will need to discover your own perfect balance. In addition to the number of bird feeders, consider the location. The feeder should be easy to get to, as it will need to be cleaned and refilled often. It is also nice to have the feeder in a site that is good for comfortable bird viewing. Finally, look under the feeder as it will be a prime spot for bird messes to accumulate.
Placement is also important to the birds. If a feeder is not attracting any birds, it is in the wrong location. You want bird feeders to be protected from winds and other harsh weather conditions. They should be close to shrubs for the bird's sense of comfort, but not too close for the bird's safety. To protect from cats and other predators, a feeder should be at least three feet away from any large vegetation. Offering a variety of bird feeder types and locations will ensure you have a nice selection of birds in your garden.
Now that you know what to do with your bird feeder, get tips on how to keep a bird bath clean so the birds in your yard have a complete oasis.

Happy belated Mother's Day! I hope that everyone had a wonderful day getting to spend time with family. My boys made me some lovely presents today and I was lucky to get to spend time making some crafts with them. It was nice to have a chance to just relax and enjoy being a family. We often rush around so much to different practices, events, and activities that we don't get a chance to spend as much time together as I would like. I didn't want to spend hours in the kitchen making stuffed shells and instead decided to make this super quick light one-pot unstuffed spinach shells.
My poor husband is amazing at so many things, cooking isn't one of them. It was a super simple and easy meal that my husband was even able to make for us! This dinner was a perfect for him to make for the family and he loved that everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I might even start making him cook more frequently! It can be exhausting being the only one able to cook dinner.
This meal is really filling and packed with protein and fiber. It's is perfect when served with my Skinny Garlic Parmesan Rolls and a side salad. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear from you. You can also follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

You don't become acquainted with in the budgetary position that empowers you to begin a gathering of Modiglianis before your 40th birthday unless you are a genuine player. Giannini, who has been the imaginative chief of Gucci for a long time, is practically obscure outside the style business, yet inside it she is an impressive power, having controlled a post-Tom Ford Gucci from disorder into shaft position in the business.
You don't accomplish that essentially by planning charming totes. Survival – without taking into consideration achievement – in the extravagance business relies on upon characterizing an importance for a brand that can make owning a bit of it feel one of a kind and profitable.
Gowns and totes are only restricted of getting that message over. Gucci has recently turned 90, and Giannini has thought of an alternate, rather more stupendous approach to recount the Gucci story. Not long from now sees the opening of the Gucci Museo in Florence, another open historical center in a fourteenth century palazzo in which purses, layers and adornments from the Gucci file will go in plain view close by work by contemporary specialists, with an inaugural establishment by Bill Viola.

SPEEDPRO FEATURED AS EXPERIENTIAL GRAPHICS EXPERT IN SEVERAL NATIONAL PUBLICATIONSMAY 17, 2018| SpeedPro
CategoriesNews & Announcements
(Centennial, CO – May 17, 2018) – SpeedPro, the nation's leading large-format franchise, was featured by several prominent national publications as the premier thought leader on experiential graphics.
The phenomenon that is experiential graphics (or, environmental graphics) is sweeping across America, and SpeedPro is leading the charge. Experiential graphic design incorporates traditional, technological and form graphics with the surrounding environment to convey a message or enhance an experience.
Q1 2018's "Experiential Graphics" PR campaign provided local studio owners across the country an opportunity to highlight their work in a wide variety of settings. Each SpeedPro studio owner shared the high return on investment and "wow" factor enjoyed by their clients.
profiled three SpeedPro studio owners for their works with experiential graphics. SpeedPro Chicago studio owner Shira Kollins' The Simpsons inspired graphic was recognized in the article "The Funny Thing About Experiential Graphics." When a Chicago bar owner made the decision to temporarily replicate Moe's Tavern from the animated television series, Kollins made his vision a reality. "We specialize in [projects] that aren't normal," Kollins said. "However, transforming people's workspaces with experiential graphics is one of my favorites."
SpeedPro Marin studio owner Steve Moran-Cassese was featured in Sign Builder Illustrated's "Into the Woods with Environmental Branding" article. Moran-Cassese assisted in the massive rebranding of Hewlett Packard's Worldwide Headquarters in Palo Alto, California. Moran-Cassese, a long-time proponent of experiential graphics, says it's the fastest-growing sector in wide format.
"Not only can you pick the image that you want, but you can pick the surface look that you want it to appear on," says Moran-Cassese. "You can pick a huge glass atrium – it doesn't matter how big or how wide. We are seeing an increasing interest in environmental graphics among architectural design firms, which is pretty exciting."
Transforming a bland and lackluster dealership showroom into a vibrant, Polynesian beach-themed landscape resulted in two major profiles for Mark Simmons, studio owner of SpeedPro Apex. Simmons was featured in Sign Builder Illustrated's article "Environmental Graphics: Just Like Paradise" and Sign & Digital Graphics' "Featured Project: Bringing the South Pacific to Carolina." Simmons came up with the idea, the company trusted his branding vision and the rest is history. Morale among employees, who now don Hawaiian t-shirts, is up. And so are car sales, by a tune of 30 percent. "They now have beach music playing inside the dealership, which they didn't have before," says Simmons. "And they have these nice, colorful graphics to put employees – and customers – in a better mood."
There's no indication that SpeedPro's wave of momentum showcasing the power of experiential graphics will slow any time soon. As the second quarter continues, SpeedPro's knowledge and expertise will be on display in several additional publications. That includes:
- PS Magazine
- Commercial Architecture Magazine
- What They Think
- Sign and Digital Graphics
SpeedPro CEO Larry Oberly is thrilled to see these studio owners receive the national recognition they have worked hard to deserve. Oberly says he's proud of their amazing work and says its representative of the capabilities all SpeedPro franchisees possess.
"There's a passion to provide the best service burning inside all SpeedPro studio owners across the country," says Oberly. "Local studio owners take pride in every opportunity presented to them and the results tend to attract newfound attention for their clients – and in some cases, the studio owners themselves. Our system is set up to be at the forefront of industry trends and that is certainly the case when it comes to experiential graphics. Everyone at SpeedPro is working hard to position ourselves as the trendsetter and I'm glad we're being recognized as such."

In the comments on my post yesterday about What to Do (and not do) on Facebook, Robert Hicks mentioned that he "gets a little too political" in his Facebook conversations and implied that he might need to tone it down.
I have some thoughts on the matter... I hope you don't mind if I share...
I lean toward the conservative side of the aisle. Not 100% - I couldn't care less who marries whom or changes their body parts to suit them, but generally, yeah, I'm a right-winger.
(Lefties, are you already getting a bit ruffled? Fellow right-wingers, do you like me a little more now? Ah, we'll get to that).
Sometimes when I'm surfing my newsfeed and see an opinionated post from a liberal friend, I get a bit irritated. Not because I don't respect his or her right to his or her opinion, but rather because political posts tend to imply (or outright state) that the "other side" is stupid. And when I'm on the "other side," I feel insulted. And when I feel someone has insulted me, I tend to not like that. Further, since I don't agree with my liberal friend's opinion, I might even think a bit less of his or her intelligence, because, well, I think they're wrong!
(Stay with me here.)
So, it seems that if that is the case, it would be wise for a self-employed person (for example, a real estate agent) to avoid political pontifications and stick with discussing the weather, what they had for breakfast or their most recent listing.
Right? Right??
Not so fast.
Sometimes when I'm surfing my newsfeed and see an opinionated post from a conservative friend (as long as they aren't bashing marriage freedom or B/C Jenner), I perk up. I smile. I might even comment positively. And, go figure, I feel complimented because this FB friend o'mine is implying that I'm smart because I agree with him/her AND since I do agree, I think a little bit higher of my FB friend as well!
So, if THIS is the case, it seems it would be wise for a self-employed person to embrace political pontifications...?
Hmmmm, what to do, what to do?
Your choice! Think about it... if you have strong political views, doesn't it make sense that you might connect better with people who think along the same lines? (however right or wrong you may be, JUST KIDDING). And, further, that you might have "issues" with folks who have equally strong views that conflict with yours?
So perhaps... just perhaps... political pontificating might be a fantastic way to attract the perfect clients for you!?

I started internet marketing in 2010 when i came across a banner that was advertised on a website about a company that was paying /H.
I started to do some research and i realized that people are making thousands of dollars online using the internet technology so i wanted to become one of them so the first thing i done was susbcribed to one the great marketers list where he used to send me emails about clickbank offers, now bear in mind that
at this point i didn't know what was clickbank.

This is when i decided to work with clickbank, i strugled to make my first dollar with clickbank until 1 year and 3 months, then i started to figure out what was the problem that is making me struggle and it was traffic generation.
As you know traffic is very important in this online business, doesn't matter if you promoting clickbank offers or any other affiliate program , if you don't know whow to get traffic then it is impossible to make huge money on the internet.
so now i started to buy different products that teaches how to get traffic but i couldn't get anywhere because everyone was
teaching outdated methods that wasn't working anymore.
I was totally frustrated, i used to login to my clickbank account everyday and see big zeroes.
Then one day i came across one of the best programs about traffic generation called High Traffic Academy so i decided to
purchase this and that's when everything changed for me.
I am fortunate and blessed to be a member of high traffic academy that teaches all the traffic generation techniques + teaches

If you need to have same day cleaning NYC immediately, you can try to do it by your own or order service of a professional cleaning company. In order to help you imagine how professional cleaning process looks like, we asked general manager of our company to make a list of 15 practical tips on the same day cleaning NYC life hacks for you.
The best thing is to start cleaning with a hoover and then wipe the dust. Otherwise, dust will not be removed completely.
It's impossible to wash the whole bath before leaving for work, but you could easily fill a toilet with cleaning fluid and easily brush it in the evening.
If there are some places where pretreatment with disinfection and deep cleaning are needed, start with them. Apply disinfectants and do some other activities. You should wait until they begin to function (from 1 to 5 minutes).
Use a toothbrush for cleaning places which are hard to reach (corners, slots, grooves in plumbing, household appliances, and containers).
Spray anti-static on screen and the rear surface of electronics and TV and wipe them with a special cloth. Dust will settle two times less on them.
The simple charcoal can help to get rid of excess cleaning and airing of refrigerator. It will absorb all smells and the fridge will be "fresh".
Before starting CLEANING kitchen, apply anti-grease detergent in advance. Old greasy spots will vanish while you are busy with cleaning in other places.
In order not to leave stains ON THE SURFACE, don't wipe it with chaotic or circular moves. \it's better to do it with horizontal or vertical moves.
You can save a lot of time if to replace simple cloth with Microfibre.
FOR more rational usage of cloth it's worth folding it in four. So, now you have four working sides and it increases the duration of usage and saves time.
Do not use abrasive side of a sponge in order to get rid of stains or spots, because it can damage the surface! It's better not to use a sponge with a green abrasive in the kitchen. Use white or blue abrasive instead.
The next piece of advice is for those who just made a repair and wants to hold same day cleaning NYC life hacks in the home which suffers from dust. To get rid of white construction dust on the floor, make sure you have washed it with water and vinegar (2 tablespoons per 1 liter of water) and then use the detergent for the floor.
The detergent which is good for washing dishes not always remove plaque from cups which are dirty after tea and coffee. With this will handle easily simple baking soda! Apply a small amount of baking soda on the soft side of a sponge and clean the dishes.
In order not to spoil the pan after cooking, it shouldn't be poured into cold water in any case. Yes, of course, it will be easier to wash it, but then all the food will be burnt. So, just wait until the pan cools down, and only then pour it with water.
If you don't want to do all this, we are happy to take your order at the service of the same day cleaning NYC. Check all same day cleaning NYC life hacks and order our services!

Busy Week in Harrington
Not all weeks in Harrington have quite so many "happenings." However, the news from the first week of November 2018, as reported by Marge Womach, provides a good sampling of local activities.
Monday Night HOHS
Monday, Nov 5th, HOHS met at the opera house at 7 p.m. with Linda Wagner leading and the following in attendance: Mark and Sheryl Stedman, Carol, Ed and Bunny Haugan, Marge Womach, Susan Larmer, Becky Moeller, Peter Davenport, and Ellen Evans. Mention was made of the repairs to the chandeliers in the auditorium, the bids for a furnace for the lobby, and the winterization schedule. Discussions pertaining to this week's events were held. Dec 5th at 6 p.m. was agreed for a kids' concert as requested by Taunya Sanford.
Harrington Area Chamber of Commerce
Harrington Area Chamber of Commerce met Wednesday noon, Nov 7, 2018 with the following present: Cade Clarke, Paula Harrington, Heather Slack, Bunny Haugan, Kathy Hoob and Cherie MacClellan. Discussion was held preparatory to Senior Baskets and for Candy bags for Santa's pictures. Work continues on the touring map of Lincoln County. Hoob will decorate for the Tree Lighting ceremony at the gas station and Grain View Park. Work is being offered for rebuilding the roof of the nativity. Dillon Haas will be responsible to organize the carolers this year. Harrington ordered Christmas wreaths. Details of the Hometown Christmas Bazaar were gone over. WW I Armistice Centennial will be celebrated Friday at the School with Mr Cronrath's annual program, Saturday at the Opera House with Geoff Talkington showing a Film Festival from 10 to 4 p.m. and Sunday with a bell-ringing event at the Memorial on the lawn of the original City Hall on the corner of 3rd and Sherlock.
Friday, Nov 9, at 10:15 a.m. in the gymnasium, Mr Michael Cronrath led the school and visitors in the annual Veterans Day program which this year commemorated World War I Armistice Centennial as an event. Each year Cronrath adds to his materials, but it remains the same in many respects: introducing the colors, acknowledging the veterans living in the community, and teaching the community of the sacrifices that are made. There were about twenty veterans from various branches of the service in the audience, among them, two women.
Scott Kirby
Friday. Nov 9, at 7 p.m. the Harrington Opera House presented Scott Kirby in "Main Street", photography, original artwork, video and narrative, with Kirby playing piano selections of Americana music and original compositions. Linda Wagner welcomed the audience and requested that cell phones be turned off. Kirby had come to town early to set up, and then went with Wagner to the Transitional Care Unit in Davenport where he played for the patients, which brought tears to one gentleman's eyes. This audience burst into steady applause for his gesture to share his talents with the patients. Kirby announced his program divisions, acknowledged his appreciation of Wagner's tour of the opera house, and began the showing of his art work as he spoke. His introductory pictures included local rural barns, church, our antique barber shop, Scott & Bunny, a photo of the old panoramic view of Harrington, the Post & Office with Heather and Linda, and a photo of Linda Wagner in the Opera House describing the process of salvaging the old abandoned building that began in 1992.
This truly educational collection seemed to please the audience as people recognized long-forgotten facts and historic events that Kirby highlighted such as picnic, parades, gazebos, medicinal cures, vendors, all in the era of John Phillip Souza. Similarly he spoke of the era of Scott Joplin and the cultural shock of "Ragtime Music", and how it was portrayed with resistance by preachers, politicians and newspapers as "corrupting the youth", "disturbing the rhythms of the heart", "scourge", "debasing", "poisonous contagion", and "suggestive of indecency". Following this dialogue, he returned to playing the music of Scott Joplin, who he said had aspirations as a teacher and composer but not as an entertainer. He stated that in 1899 Joplin changed America with "Maple Leaf Rag". The audience was visibly in motion with the beat of the music.
In 1906 came "the menace of the phonograph" which was feared could replace real musicians or worse yet, "music machines may kill music". The piano was the center of home entertainment. The evening was an emotional roller coaster with "America The Beautiful" and "Beautiful Dreamer" being followed by "There's No Place Like Home". Every word carried a message, and the audience heard about "home plate" as a journey of passage, as his photos showed players sliding across home plate, while listening to "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" and "Roberto Clemente". In Kirby's "Invitation to the Dance" he played his arrangement of Boogie in C and followed with speaking on the dance music of the 1940s. He stopped for an intermission and without losing a beat or a patron, he spoke briefly of Prairie Visions and his appreciation of all whose who made this night possible, coupled with his thoughts on the essence of communicating. His photography for "Vibrations on the Prairie" were phenomenal for the precision with which the music he played paralleled the photography of the wind crossing the green fields, waves of greens, dirt trails, fence lines, wind mills (old and ultra modern), driving snow on the road, wind pushing the golden grain, and the bending of cheat grass and prairie weeds to the tempo of the piano.
"Reverie for the High Plains" and "Echoes from the Schoolyard" were two additional arrangements by Kirby, the latter "sounds coming to us from far away, like a dream". His presentation of Dragons, Schooners and Cathedrals included "Nearer My God to Thee" (by Sarah Flower Adams) and "Pine Ridge Toccata" by Kirby. In "Garden of Lost Dreams" and "Charbonneau", both by Kirby, his music reflected the pictures that were shown, fluctuating from real photography to artistic drawings, and back and forth.
Centennial Film Festival
Saturday morning at 10 a.m. a few brave souls came out in the chilly morning air to view a selection of films rented by Geoff Talkington to show in remembrance of World War I Armistice. Getting a slow start, the event was successful as the ice melted and people came to assemble in the opera house Art Room.
The Film Festival was shown in the following order: "A Soldier's Journey" and "Lafayette Escadrille" preview, which were bonus shorts, allowing stragglers to join the audience. The first film, "The Millionaires' Unit", lasted about two hours, with Talkington serving water and popcorn. The second film, "The Hello Girls" was a documentary on the positions that women filled in the war as well as their 60 year struggle for veterans benefits and a 100 year struggle for recognition. Talkington declared an intermission to allow the group to find a quick lunch and return for the conclusion of the films. During this time, "Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero" was running with the sound low while some visited and left to return shortly. One man brought his guns and weapons for a "show and tell" which concluded as the audience returned for the final film, "Pershing's Path To Glory". Two students, three members of the Opera House, Mr Talkington and eleven others enjoyed World War I Armistice Centennial Film Festival. Two women and four men are veterans.
Geoff Talkington is the son of Tom E Talkington, and grandson of Roy Talkington. In 1961, T E Talkington, who was in the audience, was just completing training in parachute jumping in Georgia while stationed in NJ. T E Talkington was hit with agent orange in Cambodia and more recently had a brief bout with cancer in his leg as a result, but appears to have won that battle as well. Geoff Talkington is also a veteran.
Memorial Service
Sunday morning, Nov 11, a number of interested citizens began meeting at the Lincoln Hotel at 10 a.m. in preparation for the 11 a.m. War Memorial Service at Grain View Park at the south end of Third Street on Sherlock. At 10:45 the Invocation was given by Tony Hamilton of the Community Church. Talkington read the Proclamation written by Justin Slack, Mayor Pro-Tem, setting aside this day. Diane Sanchez presented some printed material regarding the lives of the men who were immortalized by the 5 ton monument on the lawn of the old City Hall, presently owned by Geoff Talkington as his residence. "On the front face it bears a bronze plate bearing the names of the five boys for whom it was dedicated: George Armstrong, Floyd Hinshaw, Wesley Miller, Charles Scott and George Witt." (Citizen: 11-12-1926) For these five men, Talkington arranged to have a 21 Bell Salute, the bell being rung by veterans and others at this service. The event was supported by the Community Church and about thirty persons were present. In the chilly air, the group retired to the Hotel Lincoln for hot drinks and snacks, patriotic music and conversation.
The Fallen. George Armstrong, son of George "Doc" and Mary Eliza Armstrong, died of pneumonia at Camp Lewis on Sunday night, June 24, 1918, the first war-time casualty from Harrington. Floyd K Hinshaw, only son of Wilbur and May (Lacey) Hinshaw, was killed in France on Oct 8, 1919. His body was returned after the war. Wesley Miller, son of Solomon Henry and Susanna (Pfrender) Miller, was killed in action at Epinouville, France in the Argonne offensive. His body was later returned to Arlington Cemetery. Chas S Scott, son of E C and Lettie A (Smith) Scott, died in Detroit, Michigan, of influenza. Geo M Witt, Jr, son of George M and Alma (Kals) Witt, lost his life in France due to wounds received. He was buried in France and his body now lies in the Arlington Cemetery, Washington, DC.

I kind of just want to rip off the songs:illinois riff on Dan Blakeslee. It's concise, has very nice comparisons to musicians I was thinking of too (Jeff Buckley, in particular) and, well, it's already written. I penalize my students for plagiarism, though, and doing the same here would just make me a jerk. Dan Blakeslee seems like no jerk; in fact, one of his albums is a recording of a live set performed at New Hampshire's Laconia State Prison. He's described as a "folk god" in local New England press, and after reading about him for awhile, you get the impression that he's like a Homeric minstrel poet for the Robert Frost set. And he can fiddle. So, thanks for the borrow, songs:illinois.
One Reply to "Dan Blakeslee"
borrow at will, the more the merrier. btw any interest in adding me to you preferred links, I normally wouldn't ask but I have a lot of love for 3Hive and respect what you're doing (free and legal and all)

Hospital readmission for patients with bronchiectasis and COPD is a major problem. In fact, one out of every eleven patients with COPD is readmitted to the hospital only 30 days after discharge. A recent report from the Division of Population Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), published in Chest Journal, indicates that although 21% of COPD and bronchiectasis patients are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge, 7% of patients are readmitted with COPD or bronchiectasis as the primary diagnosis and 18% with COPD or bronchiectasis as any diagnosis.
Individuals with severe cases of the disease or who are living in low socioeconomic areas tend to have higher rates of hospital readmission. The study "Socioeconomic Deprivation, Readmissions, Mortality, and Acute Exacerbations," published in Internal Medicine Journal, revealed that 46% of patients considered to be among the 20% most deprived in New Zealand had at least one readmission following discharge from a diagnosis of bronchiectasis, and 21% died within a year of admission to the hospital. Those with an increased severity of disease were more likely to be readmitted, but there was no correlation between disease severity and mortality.
Another study, entitled "Hospital discharges, readmissions, and emergency department visits for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or bronchiectasis among US adults" and published in Chest examined trends in hospital readmission rates from 2001 to 2012 among adults aged ≥18 years in the United States who had either bronchiectasis or COPD. Using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample and Nationwide Emergency Department Sample, the researchers examined temporal trends in the numbers and rates of hospitalizations by patients with COPD or bronchiectasis, including their mean length of stay, in-hospital case-fatality rate, 30-day readmission rate, and numbers and rates of emergency room visits. The researchers in this study concluded that, despite local and national efforts to reduce total hospitalizations and emergency department visits over the past decade, they have in fact increased for COPD, and the age-adjusted rates of hospitalizations and emergency department visits for COPD or bronchiectasis have not changed significantly in the United States during the period studied.
In spite of these findings, estimates from the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission indicate that up to 76% of COPD readmissions may be preventable. Elderly patients with COPD are less likely to be readmitted to the hospital by simply receiving quality nutrition treatment during their stay. It is noted that proper disease management extends beyond the confines of the hospital, as a previous study showed that one hands-on approach beneficial to some bronchiectasis patients is at-home intravenous antibiotic therapy.
The COPD Foundation is actively involved in helping patients reduce their hospital readmission rate. In October 2014, the foundation launched its Praxis (Prevent and Reduce COPD Admissions through expertise and Innovation Sharing) program, which is a focused effort of researchers from academia, healthcare, and industry to reduce COPD exacerbation-related hospital readmission. There are also regulations in place to fine hospitals with high rates of chronic lung disease patient hospital readmission, though this system may be flawed because the wrong facilities may actually be fined.
With clinical recognition of the hospital readmission rate for COPD and bronchiectasis, researchers continue to develop better methods to fully understand, treat, and prevent disease recurrence. In July 2014, researchers learned an important lesson from a study published in BMJ describing the results of "An Early Rehabilitation Intervention to Enhance Recovery During Hospital Admission for an Exacerbation of Chronic Respiratory Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial." A total of 389 patients, 82% of whom had COPD, completed a prescribed regimen of progressive aerobic, resistance, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation training, along with a self management and education package. Contrary to the hypothesis, patients undergoing the intervention had greater mortality at 12 months, suggesting that progressive exercise rehabilitation alongside current standard physiotherapy practices may be dangerous for patients with early-stage acute illness.
Breathing Vests Could Potentially Cut Down on Hospital Readmissions for Bronchiectasis, COPD
While medical practitioners have therapeutics available to them for the treatment of both bronchiectasis and COPD, modern therapy for these diseases include a suite of treatment and care options that, when combined, can improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the number of visits made to the hospital due to exacerbations. In a guideline from the NIH's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the use of "Chest Physical Therapy" (CPT) is suggested as one form of viable preventative care. Also known as "physiotherapy," CPT makes use of percussive chest clapping to dislodge mucus in the lungs and air passages. Standard techniques involve a kind of percussive massage performed by a respiratory therapist or family member, but medical devices are now offering an alternative to this standard approach.
[adrotate group="6″]
Often dubbed "breathing vests," the NHLBI notes that an "inflatable therapy vest that uses high-frequency air waves" that can help "force mucus toward your upper airways so you can cough it up" is one viable choice for automating the CPT process, allowing patients to receive therapy while going about their normal lives. Past breathing vest designs included bulky, cumbersome external units that attach to the vest, providing air compression or vibration, however, next-generation designs such as the Afflovest offer a lightweight, compact, and untethered solution that allow for maximum mobility during treatment.
By using these vests, taking medication as prescribed, and eating a nutritious diet, patients with COPD and bronchiectasis will likely increase their quality of life and decrease the rate of hospital readmission.

Ambergris Caye Travelers Recommend
How to Spend 3 Days in Ambergris Caye
12 Tours and Activities
With three days on the island of Ambergris Caye, you'll have plenty of time to snorkel, swim, soak up the sun—and even check out underwater cave systems and Maya ruins on the mainland. Here are some ideas for your itinerary.
Day 1: Ambergris Caye from Above and Below
Begin your stay at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, a popular snorkeling and diving destination replete with coral and tropical fish. For a hassle-free morning, head out on an excursion that includes transport and equipment. After lunch, get a bird's-eye view of the crystalline waters off the coast of Ambergris Caye on a parasailing tour. Or, treat yourself to a private helicopter ride high above the Belize Barrier Reef and the UNESCO-listed Blue Hole, the largest oceanic sinkhole on the planet.
Day 2: Day Trip to the Mainland
Make your way to the mainland for a day of ruin exploration and jungle adventure. Most tours begin in the morning at the fantastically preserved Maya ruins of Xunantunich, followed by a typical Belizean lunch at a local restaurant. Some also include the chance to go ziplining over the rain forest canopy, or inner-tubing through cave systems. If you're back in Ambergris Caye in time for dinner, make a beeline for the Truck Stop, a food cart pod with lots of options and outdoor seating.
Day 3: Secret Beach
Now for some quality beach time. The most popular spot is Secret Beach, where you'll find bars, lounge chairs, and opportunities for water sports—you can even prebook a floating mattress with a table. Later, if you can peel yourself off the sand, join a late-afternoon barhopping boat tour. Fishing enthusiasts might opt for a full-day excursion, some of which include a barbecue lunch and swimming stops. In the evening, either head into San Pedro for a seafood dinner or sign up for a local cooking class.
How to Spend 1 Day on Ambergris Caye
7 Tours and Activities
With its beautiful beaches, abundance of local eateries, and easy access to fantastic snorkeling, scuba diving, and water-sports opportunities, it's easy to find ways to spend your time on Ambergris Caye. But with even just one day on Belize's largest island, you'll be able to experience some of the best it has to offer. Here's how.
Morning: Hol Chan Marine Reserve
Start your day off with a visit to the expansive Hol Chan Marine Reserve, a short boat ride south of Ambergris Caye. This popular snorkeling and diving area is known for its variety of tropical fish and coral, particularly in the Maya and Shark Ray Alley areas. A variety of options exist for visiting the reserve, with plenty of half- and full-day snorkeling trips; for something a little different, consider a tour by Snuba, a sort of hybrid scuba-snorkeling device with an air hose that allows even inexperienced divers to go deeper than they could with a regular snorkel.
Afternoon: View from the Sky
In the afternoon, head back to shore for lunch. While you may want to spend the rest of the day lazing around on the beach, it's worth at least considering changing your perspective of Ambergris Caye by viewing it from the sky. Options include parasailing adventures suitable even for first-time fliers. If you're willing to splurge, you can also hire a helicopter to take you on a private tour out over the Belizean Barrier Reef and the gargantuan Blue Hole, the world's largest oceanic sinkhole and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Evening: Culinary San Pedro
Devote your evening to trying out some local food. The San Pedro town center has all sorts of options, from locally caught seafood to empanadas made to order; it's also a good spot to pick up a bottle of Belize's famous Marie Sharp's hot sauce. For a more immersive experience, you can join a cooking class and learn how to make Belizean fare yourself, including the ever-popular fry jacks (deep-fried dough). The carts at the Truck Stop, a food-cart pod made of shipping containers, are another great place to sample local delights.
How to Spend 2 Days on Ambergris Caye
8 Tours and Activities
With two days on Ambergris Caye, you'll have enough time to check out the popular Hol Chan Marine Reserve, try out local food, get some beach time in, and maybe even try out some water sports. Here's one way to plan your time on this Belizean island.
Day 1: Underwater and Above the Water
**Morning:**Start with a boat trip out to the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, a popular snorkeling and diving destination full of underwater life. There's no shortage of snorkeling-trip options available, but if you want to get down to the depths of the sea, consider a Snuba adventure, in which swimmers dive attached to 20-foot-long (6-meter-long) oxygen hoses.
**Afternoon:**After your aquatic adventure, grab a quick lunch and get ready for more adventure. Choose among a variety of water sports available in the area, or consider a parasailing adventure for great views of the island and the waters below. For something extra special, splurge on a helicopter tour over the Belizean Barrier Reef.
**Night:**By the time night begins to fall, you'll have likely worked up an appetite. Fortunately, Ambergris Caye's main town, San Pedro, is full of places to eat, especially if you're fond of seafood. Alternatively, join a cooking class and learn how to make popular Belizean fare yourself.
Day 2: Sea and Sun
**Morning:**On your second morning, head out to Secret Beach, which, despite its name, is the most popular beach on the island, owing to its crystalline waters and numerous beach bars; you can even rent pedal boats and sunbed mattresses with floating tables (prebook them to guarantee availability).
**Afternoon:**It's easy to spend your whole day at Secret Beach, though by the time the afternoon rolls around, you may feel like hitting up some local bars. For an unusual experience, consider a guided bar crawl by boat.
**Evening:**Make your last dinner on Ambergris Caye something special by heading out to the lagoon on a barbecue boat, a special round boat with a barbecue at the center. A captain will come along for safety and to show you the best places to stop and grill.

Intermittent fasting relates to an eating cycle which entails fasting periods of 12-36 hours. Lots of fans of this eating pattern praise it for its role in weight management. Studies are, however, underway to uncover the benefits of intermittent fasting.
Most benefits have been learned from animal studies. However, some benefits also apply to humans. Here is a look at the research-backed health benefits of intermittent fasting:
- Greater weight loss
Intermittent fasting is viewed as one of the effective plans for weight loss. In this regard, it works to drive weight loss by reducing the levels of insulin. The body breaks down carbs into glucose.
Insulin is a hormone, which encourages cells to take in glucose. A drop in insulin levels means that a person is not having food. During fasting, a drop in the levels of insulin is possible, which causes cells to release their glucose stores as energy.
Repeating this process with fasting may assist with weight loss. Moreover, intermittent fasting correlates with the intake of few calories on the whole. This can chip in weight loss.
- Can Improve Heart Health
There is also a possibility that intermittent fasting may improve some aspects of cardiovascular health. A 2016 review report learned that intermittent fasting resulted in the reduction of heart rate, blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol among animals as well as humans. All these pointers, when disturbed, serve as risk factors for poor heart health.
- Decreased Risk Of Cancer
Recent studies in animals suggest that restrictive diets such as this one can possibly delay the onset of tumors. However, there have not been any studies on humans in this regard so far.
What's more, obesity is a risk factor for several different cancers. Hence, the weight loss afforded by intermittent fasting may also help with the reduced risk of developing cancer. Moreover, intermittent fasting can decrease several biological factors, which are associated with cancer such as inflammation and insulin levels.
- Better Brain Health
Research learned that mice which were on intermittent fasting had better memory and learning than mice with free access of food. There is also more animal research that outlines that intermittent fasting can curtail inflammation in the brain, which connects with neurological conditions.
Other animal studies have also learned that intermittent fasting can lessen the risk of cognitive ailments such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. There is, however, more research needed to learn how this benefit of intermittent fasting applies to humans.
- Boosts Metabolism And Helps With Anti-aging
Recent research has also learned that intermittent fasting can increase the levels of several metabolites in the body. The body resorts to the use of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources when it is starved of carbs during the fasting phase. This leads to increased levels of metabolites in the body. The levels of these metabolites also go down when one ages. However, fasting takes them up, therefore, contributing to anti-aging.

San Juan Surf Resort: Experience the Best That La Union Has to Offerby Roxie Ramirez
The province of La Union has quickly transformed into one of the country's summer hot spots.
Located just four to six hours outside of Metro Manila, the so-called Surfing Capital of the North has seen a lot of development over the past few years, whether it's in the form of new restaurants, bars, resorts, or hostels. Each visit to the province is different, and it can sometimes leave first-timers or even frequent visitors a little bit overwhelmed.
But one place has remained an institution: San Juan Surf Resort.
This 35-room resort opened back in 1992, way before surfing or even La Union became a household name in Manila. It's located right in the heart of surfing town San Juan, just a few steps away from the world-famous Urbiztondo beach.
Despite being in operation for more than 25 years, San Juan Surf Resort is very much modern. The façade is a palette of white and black, complete with nipa hut-style roofs. The resort grounds, meanwhile, are a wash of green, from the palm trees that dot the resort compound, and blue, thanks to the ocean just a few meters away. Free Wi-Fi is also available in most areas, although you won't be doing much scrolling and posting on social media with all the activities the resort has to offer.
The resort offers four styles of rooms: Ocean View, Deluxe, Premium and Condo-style. All are extremely spacious and affordable, whether you're staying for a quick getaway from the city or for a much longer break.
The Ocean View rooms (starting at ₱4,280) offer a spectacular peek at the beautiful Urbiztondo beach, whether it's through the room's wide windows or through the balcony. Meanwhile, those on a budget can opt to stay at the resort's Deluxe style rooms (starting at ₱2,850), which provide all of the same amenities, just without the beachfront view.
San Juan Surf Resort also makes sure that bigger families and barkadas are welcome as well. That's thanks to their Premium rooms (starting at ₱2,600), which can accommodate up to six people, and their Condo-style rooms (starting at ₱3,725), which allow visitors to prepare their own meals in the in-room kitchenette.
But who wants to cook their food when the resort has its own restaurant? Coast Call Kitchen and Bar offers a mix of local fare and international favorites, along with a wide variety of fresh juices and healthy smoothies to help cool you off after a long day at the beach. The restaurant's relaxed ambiance and choices between indoor or al fresco dining make it perfect for a romantic date or a chill hangout with friends.
If you find yourself needing sunscreen or other beach essentials, drop by the resort's very own Surf Shop. The store offers flip-flops, beach towels, and even beach apparel like t-shirts and shorts.
A visit to La Union isn't complete without trying out surfing. Thankfully, the resort has its own surf school and it's considered to be one of the country's best.

Affectionately called Surf Camp, San Juan Surf School was founded in 2003 by Filipino-Australian surfer Luke Landrigan. He was one of the first Filipinos to be given an Australian Bronze Medallion for surf rescue.
So that means whether you're a first-time surfer or a long time veteran of the waves, you'll be in good hands at the San Juan Surf School. All of the instructors are internationally accredited and the school only uses the best, safest surfing equipment.
Aside from teaching visitors, the school also makes sure to give back to the local community. With its partnership with Special Education La Union, the school helps children with special needs experience the thrill and joy of the ocean through surfing lessons.
But if surfing isn't your thing, the resort also rents out stand up paddleboards as well as kayaks, body boards, and skim boards. They also help book tours to the beautiful and majestic Tangadan Waterfalls, located in the nearby town of San Gabriel.
The various activities the resort has to offer may sound exhausting, but you can opt to end the day in the spa. It offers services like the traditional Hilot Massage or the Hot Stone Massage. There's even a jacuzzi to help your body relax after a long, hot day outside.
Although many say La Union is no longer the quiet province it used to be, San Juan Surf Resort proves that the low-key charm inherent to La Union is still very much alive today. Consider the resort to be your home away from home, the next time you need an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT)
Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) is a vendor-neutral certification for experienced tech professionals looking to expand their knowledge and skills in enterprise information technology (IT) governance. The CGEIT credential is designed to provide certification for those who direct, manage or otherwise support the governance of IT in large organizations. ISACA, an international non-profit organization previously known as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, developed and runs CGEIT, which is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Information technology governance in large organizations continues to grow in importance due to an ever-increasing reliance on IT to deliver services, along with the rising need to comply with complex laws and regulations concerning financial accountability, data security and protection, and privacy. As a result, the need arises for governance credentials, such as Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT), as well as others such as ITIL Expert, run by Axelos, Certified in IT Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (CRISC) from ISACA and PMI Risk Management Professional from the Project Management Institute.
Since the introduction of CGEIT in 2007, more than 7,000 individuals have achieved the certification, with a large percentage holding senior positions as IT directors, audit directors, CIOs, CISOs
Having CGEIT credentials can give IT pros a leg up at their current firms as well as during recruiting and hiring. Additionally, CGEIT is among the highest-paying IT certifications, with an average salary of US $121,363, according to the 2018 IT Skills and Salary Report conducted by Global Knowledge.
CGEIT Qualifications: Education and Experience
To receive the certification, candidates must pass a four-hour exam, which includes 150 questions and covers five areas: Framework for the Governance of Enterprise IT, Strategic Management, Benefits Realization, Risk Optimization and Resource Optimization. CGEIT-certified professionals also must have at least five years of cumulative work experience in IT enterprise governance, including at least one year defining, implementing and managing a governance framework. (Individuals may take the CGEIT exam before meeting the experience requirements, which must be met before the CGEIT designation is awarded.)
Additionally, CGEIT holders are expected to comply with the ISACA Code of Professional Ethics as well as the CGEIT Continuing Education Policy, attaining an annual minimum of 20 continuing professional education (CPE) hours in related coursework to reach a minimum of 120 CPE hours for a three-year reporting period.

Cardiovascular diseases: the aged and venerable people with heart disease do not have to avoid sexual encounters, just because they feel afraid that it might pose a risk, but to sustain their connections as much as tolerable without a feeling of pain or shortness of breath. With Diabetes, sexual dysfunction is very high (about 70%), mainly due to the negative effect of the circulatory system and irregular nerve transmission. Thyroid irregularities further decay the sexual field.

Summing some symptoms, the one worth mentioning: low strength, exhaustion, weakness, poor quality sleep, libido decay, and soft erections. On the other hand, if we manage to increase testosterone levels, we might obtain multiple benefits, from performance to restoration, healing, and empowering capabilities.

Having a rational and disciplined regime will help you get even better results accompanied by UltraMax Testo Enhancer.
Take into consideration that having good testosterone levels is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, perform specific physical tasks, and maintaining a young spirit.

Nothing to worry about folks. China is in the middle a major military buildup of both their conventional and nuclear forces.They recently tested some new and super powerful nukes, but not to worry, President Obama is on it. He is protecting America. We are fine.
Our strategy of owing so much money to China that they could never afford to annihilate us is working perfectly.
From the Washington Free Beacon:
It might be time start building some of those backyard bunkers like they did in the 1950's.
China conducted another flight test of its newest and longest-range intercontinental ballistic missile last week amid growing tensions with the United States over the South China Sea.
Pentagon officials told the Free Beacon the flight test of the new road-mobile DF-41 missile took place Tuesday with two multiple, independently targetable reentry vehicles, or MIRVs, that were monitored in flight by U.S. military satellites and other regional sensors.Officials did not say where the test took place. Past DF-41 launches were carried out from the Wuzhai Missile and Space Test Center in central China.
The latest flight test followed an earlier, rail-based canister ejection test of a DF-41 on Dec. 5.
U.S. Strategic Command commander Adm. Cecil Haney said Jan. 22 that China's multiple warhead missiles are part of a significant investment in both nuclear and conventional forces.
"China is re-engineering its long-range ballistic missiles to carry multiple nuclear warheads," Haney said in a speech.
The flight test came around the same time that a high-ranking Chinese general made an unusual visit to a disputed South China Sea island. Also, the missile test occurred three days before Defense Secretary Ash Carter visited the aircraft carrier USS Stennis as it sailed in the South China Sea.Pentagon officials said the visit to Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratly Islands by Gen. Fan Changlong was timed to the Carter visit to the region. Fan is vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, the most powerful military organ under the ruling Communist Party of China.
The Pentagon has said China is covertly building military bases on disputed islands in the sea. Beijing has accused Washington of militarizing the sea by deploying warships and bolstering regional alliances.
Disclosure of the DF-41 test follows a newsletter report last month that stated China is nearing deployment of the new ICBM.
Kanwa Asian Defense reported last month that the new ICBM is in the final testing phase, and its expected deployment area will be near Xinyang in Henan province, in central China.
From that location, the missile would be capable of striking the United States in around 30 minutes, either through a polar trajectory or over the Pacific.An earlier flight test of the DF-41, also with two dummy warheads, was carried out Aug. 6.
The new missile poses a significant strategic threat because it is larger than other road-mobile ICBMs and the new JL-2 submarine-launched ballistic missile.
The DF-41 is assessed by U.S. intelligence agencies to be powerful enough to deliver between six and 10 warheads up to 7,456 miles—far enough to reach every corner of the United States from launch areas in eastern China.
Rick Fisher, a China military affairs analyst, said the latest launch is the seventh reported flight test of the DF-41, an indication the ICBM will soon be deployed with the newly-renamed PLA Rocket Forces.
"As with previous MIRV tests, the PLA has used a small number of reentry vehicles to mask the real capability of the DF-41, which is estimated to be able to loft up to 10 warheads," said Fisher, senior fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center.The congressional U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission stated in its most recent annual report that China is developing maneuvering re-entry vehicles, or MARVs, in addition to multi-warhead missiles.
"Because MARV-equipped warheads are capable of performing preplanned flight maneuvers during reentry, they are more difficult to intercept and better able to penetrate adversary missile defenses," the report said.
Fisher said he expects China to sharply increase the number of warheads in its arsenal as a result of the shift to multiple-warhead missiles.
China also has begun retrofitting older, single warhead DF-5 ICBMs with MIRVs, according to defense officials, who said the uploading was detected over the past several months.
China is currently engaged in a large-scale buildup of nuclear forces and missile delivery systems that include new missiles and a hypersonic glide vehicle—a weapon that can maneuver to avoid missile defenses in delivering nuclear or conventional warheads. Continue reading…

More than a month before the April launch of her White House run, Hillary Clinton stood before a swarm of reporters at the United Nations headquarters and dealt with questions about her use of private emails for official business. It is an issue that has dogged her candidacy ever since.
Few doubted until this summer that Clinton, with vast institutional and popular support and little competition, would cruise to her coronation as the Democratic nominee for the presidency.
But many of her statements from those first defensive days have been proven false by a steady stream revelations from three congressional committees and four federal agencies investigating her use of a private email server. Just as damaging have been dozens of lawsuits pursued under the Freedom of Information Act, which have shown gaps in the batches of emails Clinton gave the State Department last year.
Despite raising more than four times as much campaign cash than her closest opponent, Clinton has seen her lead in the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire either shrink or vaporize entirely under the media scrutiny that has followed every twist in the email controversy.
Ford O'Connell, a Republican strategist, said the controversy is "just something that is never going to go away."
"The email situation doesn't really bother Democrats. What bothers Democrats about the whole situation is that she just fumbles it every single time," O'Connell said. "It's the optics of it. Every time she says something, it becomes untrue three weeks later."
O'Connell said the email story will dissipate only if the drip-drip of new information suddenly stopped and the facts were allowed to stand as they are today. He said there is also a possibility that Republicans, as the main drivers of the scandal narrative, could overplay their hand.
As O'Connell noted, the absence of new information and the aggressive repetition of existing information could test voters' appetite for the truth in the email scandal. From IRS targeting to Islamic State beheadings, the public can seemingly tire of any story if the flow of fresh details ends.

Infowars.com is calling for a general strike across the United States in response to the federal government's botched response to the Ebola outbreak and the Obama administration's refusal to block flights coming in from West Africa.
Countries bordering those in West Africa impacted by the Ebola outbreak have been successful in stopping the spread of the virus by blocking flights, including Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal, and yet the Obama administration has refused to do likewise despite innumerable public figures calling on the White House to take action.
Numerous airlines have also restricted flights to Ebola-affected countries and yet the United States remains wide open to potential Ebola patients not only via airports but also via the country's porous southern border, where hundreds of illegal aliens from Ebola-hit countries have poured across in recent months.
By refusing to block flights or tighten border security, the Obama administration is aiding and abetting the spread of Ebola and engaging in dereliction of duty by refusing to adopt the default position under such circumstances.
That's why we're launching a national campaign for all non-essential workers in the United States to strike from Monday through Wednesday next week.
We are calling on everyone to get behind the strike by tweeting under the hashtag #stopebolastrike and by personally participating in the general strike from Monday to Wednesday. We also invite other media outlets and media personalities to support the strike.
If the Obama administration fails to respond to the strike by Wednesday, it will be prolonged until the federal government is forced to take proper action to fight Ebola.
The CDC has proven itself to be dangerously inept and woefully unprepared to deal with a wider Ebola outbreak in the United States after two nurses who should have been properly protected contracted the virus from patient zero – Thomas Eric Duncan.
The CDC also gave express permission for Ebola victim Amber Vinson to travel on a commercial airliner after she had frequent contact with Duncan during his treatment at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, potentially exposing 132 passengers who also flew on the Frontier Airlines plane.
The federal government is committing criminal neglect by failing to implement the very measures that have proven successful in other countries in stopping the spread of the Ebola outbreak.
