Digital Printing
The evolution of digital printing has made fundamental changes in the printing process. While printing has traditionally been an industrial process, digital printing is a computerized process which, by its very nature, is less demanding of resources and less wasteful than conventional print.
Digital printing has eliminated many stages of traditional printing that were time, energy and resource-consuming, and were also accompanied by liquid and solid waste and fumes (some of which require specialist treatment for disposal). The use of chemistry for film and plate processing is eliminated with digital print, as is the substantial waste of materials used in the 'make ready' stage of offset printing.
Digital printing enables shorter run lengths and turnaround times which leads to less consumption and waste - it is estimated that prior to the advent of digital printing as much as 56% of all print was thrown away unused.

2016 Audi A5 3.0 TDI 286 review
We try the all-new Audi A5 in range-topping V6 diesel form. Has it got what it takes to worry the BMW 4 Series and Mercedes C-Class Coupé?...
The A5 is the one remaining dinosaur in Audi's line-up. Originating from a time when Tony Blair was Prime Minister and you could happily puff away on a cigarette in a bar or restaurant, this four-seat coupé has roamed the earth for nearly a decade.
But it's finally about to become extinct – and not before time, because the current A5 is not only one of the least recommendable cars in Audi's own range but it's also long been outclassed by newer and more sophisticated rivals such as the BMW 4 Series and the Mercedes C-Class Coupé.
But there's an all-new A5 on the horizon and we're driving it here for the very first time. Based on the same underpinnings as the A4 Saloon, our 2016 Car of the Year, it should be far superior to its predecessor thanks to a more upmarket interior, more powerful and efficient engines and more high-tech gadgets.
It won't arrive in UK showrooms until November, but when it does it'll be available with a trimmed-down selection of the engines offered in the A4. The cheapest will be a 188bhp 2.0-litre diesel while the most expensive, at least at the outset, will be the 349bhp turbocharged V6 petrol in the S5.
Depending on which engine you choose, you'll also have a choice of front or four-wheel drive and manual or automatic gearboxes, and you'll also be faced with a myriad of suspension options.
What's the 2016 Audi A5 like to drive?
We drove the range-topping diesel model, which is powered by a potent 282bhp V6 engine and gets Audi's quattro four-wheel drive system and an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard.
The engine's outright power is impressive enough but it's how much torque, or low-down pulling power, it produces that really takes your breath away. A gentle squeeze of your right foot is all that's needed to build speed rapidly, but put your foot down hard away from some traffic lights and you'll be doing 62mph in less than five and a half seconds. The accompanying kick in the back is really quite savage, and traction is so impressive that even wet roads provoke barely any wheelspin.
Just as impressive as the 3.0 TDI's performance is how refined it is. You barely hear more than a muted hum from the engine, even when accelerating hard, and you'll have to really concentrate to feel any vibrations through the steering wheel or pedals. Minimal wind noise also makes the A5 a peaceful cruiser. Some road noise is noticeable over coarse surfaces, although our test car's larger than standard 19in alloys and the poorly maintained roads on our Portuguese test route probably didn't help.
Depending on which trim you choose there are three distinct suspension options. Our car had the sole adaptive setup, which costs extra but is supple enough to take the sting out of smaller ripples and bigger lumps alike. However, our big-wheeled A5 test car didn't ride sharp-edged depressions quite as well the A4, particularly with the suspension switched to its sportier Dynamic mode. Audi says it's intentionally made the A5 'sportier' than its boxier four-door sibling because that's what buyers will expect from a coupé.
That's sound enough logic, but the truth is if you're looking for driving thrills from your coupé you'd be better off with a BMW 4 Series. Sure, the A5's steering is always precise but it never really involves you in the process of going round corners, which is a pity given how much fun to drive Audi's smaller TT coupé is along a snaking B-road. Mind you, the A5 grips well and, if you switch the adaptive suspension to the firmer of its two modes, there's little body roll through bends.
We'll need to try the two no-cost 'passive' suspension options before we can tell you if it's worth spending the extra.
What's the 2016 Audi A5 like inside?
Audi is renowned for its classy, minimalist interiors that are both exquisitely finished and super-intuitive. The new A5 doesn't disappoint, bettering its rivals from BMW and Mercedes with upmarket materials everywhere you look and a simple, user-friendly dashboard layout.
Audi's MMI infotainment system comes as standard and features a clear 7.0in display mounted centrally on the dashboard and controlled using a rotary dial sited between the front seats. You twist the dial to scroll through the on-screen menus and press it down to select, and there are some handy shortcut keys to take you straight to specific functions. Sat-nav comes as standard on all trims, although the digital Virtual Cockpit shown in our photos – a 12.3in screen that takes the place of the standard analogue instrument dials – costs extra.
The driving position is tough to fault, with plenty of seat and steering wheel adjustment and a comfortable seat that provides plenty of upper back support. It's a shame you have to pay extra for adjustable lumbar support, though. It's an extra we'd advise you to fork out for if you plan to spend hours behind the wheel at a time.
Clearly, you won't be considering a coupé if space is your number one priority, but the A5 isn't as impractical as you might imagine. A couple of six-footers will fit in the back easily enough, although they'll have to slouch the keep their heads from brushing against the ceiling. Officially, there's more boot space than in a 4 Series or a C-Class Coupé and, while the differences are small, the A5's load bay is certainly usefully squarer than those of its rivals. 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats are standard, and when folded down they leave only a gentle slope in the floor of the extended loadbay.
Should I buy one?
Prices haven't been confirmed but expect to pay around £2000 more than you would for an equivalent A4 saloon. That means this range-topping 3.0 TDI quattro will cost from around £42,000, although the entry-level (and likely best-selling) 2.0-litre diesel should start at a more palatable £33,000.
Whichever engine appeals, if you're pondering whether to hold off on that 4 Series or C-Class Coupé order, there's plenty about the new A5 that might make you do just that. It's plusher inside and marginally more practical than its two key rivals, and the 282bhp V6 diesel engine in this version is an absolute belter.
Pick the right BMW 4 Series and you'll enjoy a more rewarding drive on a winding country road, but the A5 is the better all-rounder and, in the right spec, should even come close to topping the similarly impressive all-round talents of the latest Mercedes C-Class Coupe.

By getting your business in global, regional and local directories, you will be able to add a little extra boost to your SEO and improve your business' trustworthiness in the eyes of your customers.

Caffeinism, Low energy and depression
Hey caf-fiends , this is my first post here.
I joined this forum because I definitely have severe caffeine dependency and would like to either quit completely or at least get down to no more than 2 1/2 cups or so a day absolute max because it very much negatively effects my sleep, energy during the day, and also greatly exacerbates the anxiety and depression that I was diagnosed with years back, and I think it may also be really messing with my adrenals, though I don't know how I'd know if that were true, but it might explain why I have no energy...
I know many people believe caffeine is harmless, but I don't feel that it is for me, and my inability to cut down, along with some other unhealthy habits like poor sleep hygiene, general inactivity and too many sleep meds to knock me out at night, have really messed with my quality of life. (I am always needing my benzo prescription for the nerves caffeine causes me as well and would like to quit them if I can.)
I currently drink up to 8 1/2 cups a day (I also have an obsession with numbers and drinking a certain amount due to my OCD and an addictive personality...I eat and drink too much booze too...)
Today is my 3rd day using Phenylalanine to cut down because I read a blog online where a fitness guru suggests taking 1,000mgs a day for a few days to knock out the withdrawal, and on my 3rd day today I feel really bad and never have enough energy.
I did a sleep study years back where they told me that my low energy is due to caffeinism, and I know that's a lot of it, but I sometimes wonder if a large part is not my depression, and lying around doing nothing so often (I know that's a lot of it too).
I've tried to quit many times and the only times I was successful it was by using Dexadrine to replace it for days on end (I know, using a more powerful stimulant to break a caffeine addiction seems odd but it worked well) but I no longer have access to that, and even when I pulled it off in the past I always fell back into drinking coffee eventually.
What I do know though is that when I HAVE gotten off caffeine I have felt WAY better, less anxious, better sleep, less depression, etc, but the last time I tried was about 3 years ago and after 11 days off it I was STILL having SERIOUS lethargy and depression and gave in.
So with that overly long post, I am wondering if anyone here has any advice on seriously cutting down on/or quitting coffee and if anyone here has experienced something similar??
I'd like to ideally get to just one cup a day for the morning because I am not sure I can completely quit altogether.
I recently read that too much caffeine use can often produce problems difficult to differentiate from an anxiety disorder and OCD and in my case, it has.
Any help would be appreciated.

Let me start off by saying that I am by no means an expert but it sounds like caffeine is not the root cause but a coping mechanism. You should first look at your depression, what is causing it and how to control it.
I would suggest seeking therapy. Address the main issue (your depression) and then go from there.
The amount of coffee you are drinking is a bit much even for a healthy person and when combined with the alcohol use, you are setting your body up for failure.
I would suggest adding decaf to your coffee regimen. You say you drink 8-9 cups, drink four cups of caffeinated coffee and decaf for the other half.
But seriously, seek some counseling first before anything. Depression is serious business and should not be taken lightly.
Thanks for the response.
Well I do get lots of therapy of various kinds for my anxiety and depression and also take medications, and while I partially agree that caffeine is not the root cause of the problems, it greatly exacerbates them.
I have had panic attacks, one really bad one in particular, that I actually believe I'd never have had if I didn't drink coffee, or at least if I drank a moderate amount, and that particular attack was 14 years ago after having 5 cups of coffee and being in public with some people I didn't feel comfortable with, and I still think had I only had 1 cup that day the attack would never have happened, and it led to me taking Klonopin for 14 years with is not a good thing to take regularly, which I also want to quit.
My last doctor who prescribed it told me that my caffeine usage was directly interfering with my Klonopin because I had worse anxiety from drinking so much coffee and then need to take more Klonopin to calm myself down and then need the Klonopin again to knock me out again at night, and then wake up tired from that and need more coffee, so it's been a vicious cycle for years with both caffeine and Klonopin messing up my sleep quality.
What I do know is that when I have managed to cut out my coffee or even cut down, then I no longer need nearly so much Klonopin and sleep better and feel better all around in terms of energy, anxiety and depression.
So far, for the past 4 days I have managed to only drink 2 1/2 cups while taking 4,000mgs of Phenylalanine daily which some online fitness guru said can help people cut down on coffee, and only took Klonopin once in the past 4 days, so I am doing better, but I haven't had work so there has been nothing I needed energy for so that made it easier.
Today I felt much better than the past 3 days, so that might mean I'm on the right track, and I think 4 cups would be too much for me.
I'm wondering how other people here who have quit or significantly cut down on coffee managed to do it??
Every time I have tried in the past I just couldn't deal with the withdrawals which lasted nearly two weeks last time, so any more advice anyone has would really be appreciated.
When I quit coffee the first time I used green tea for the caffeine. Caffeine is very addictive
The withdrawl for caffeine generally lasts a few weeks, but if you can find an alternative (decaf or green tea) to drink while you wane off of it, it is not nearly as bad.

The Transforming Power of Cadence
In 1961 Jean Nidetch had a big problem.
She was a compulsive, closet eater and she was 72 pounds overweight. To make matters worse, she was frustrated, felt like she had hit rock bottom and felt like she was out of ideas.
The diets she tried would help her lose weight for a little while, but they did not break the habit of binge eating so the weight would return.
Jean was a fighter and she was committed to finding a solution. As a result, Jean came up with what she thought was her last hope. This idea required a support group to help her.
The program was simple enough: Set a big goal and break the big goal down into smaller monthly goals.
She also built a plan based around the daily disciplines of managing her calories consumed versus calories burned, and the discipline of tracking these data points plus her weight in a journal every day.
Her support group agreed to meet weekly to weigh-in and share ideas and results.
Jean developed a weekly and monthly cadence of personal and team accountability which leveraged the camaraderie, team spirit and competitiveness that comes from being a part of a healthy tribe.
As you might imagine, the results came fast. Jean shed those 72 pounds.
In 1963, she founded Weight Watchers. The program was so successful that in 1968 she eclipsed 5 million customers and in 1978 she sold Weight Watchers to H.J. Heinz for $71 million.
Why did results come quickly for Jean under this program, as they have for countless others since? Was the diet the key or was it the cadence of accountability?
Obviously, diet was a factor…but she had tried diets before. I believe the cadence of accountability is what made the difference.
Jean understood what Aristotle said more than 2,000 year ago when he said, "Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
If you are like most leaders, there are some bad habits you would like to eliminate and replace with new habits for you and your team.
Let's dissect how Jean created new habits and explore how a consistent cadence can help your team transform performance.
One Big SMARTY Goal
Jean had a specific outcome she was committed to achieving. One big goal allows a person to focus.
"The great majority of people are "wandering generalities" rather than "meaningful specifics". ~ Zig Ziglar
A specific goal allows your mind to focus on the resources needed to make the goal a reality. It is not a lack of resources that limits our accomplishments, rather it is usually a lack of resourcefulness. By focusing on one big goal we maximize the opportunity to tap into our resourcefulness.
Small Goals
Jean had ONE BIG SMARTY GOAL of losing 72 pounds. By breaking that goal into a very manageable six pounds per month she could gain and retain a line-of-sight to its achievement while getting immediate feedback about how well her strategy was working.
You can do the same thing with your business goals: evaluating smaller goals within shorter time frames allows you to identify obstacles, celebrate victories and determine effectiveness while there is still time to adjust if necessary.
One Big SMARTY Goal supported by smaller goals allows you to track a simple scoreboard that will tell you whether you are on-track or off-track with your goal. Scoreboards can serve as a visual motivator inspiring you and the team to break through.
Daily Routine
This is the key in any habit breaking program.
Success is in the daily routine.
Short and long term goals are heavily influenced by your daily routine. Your daily routine should be comprised of activities that are within your direct control and have a high degree of influence on your goals.
You can use the daily routine to develop new habits, break old habits and create the discipline necessary to achieve higher levels of success. When building a daily routine consider actions you take and behaviors that reinforce the habits you want to develop.
For example, exercise and food consumption are actions that a person can control that highly correlate to weight loss goals. However, an intentional behavior that will reinforce positive habits is the act of writing down calories consumed, exercise exerted and measuring weight daily.
The fitness trackers such as FitBit, Garmin and Apple Watch are good examples. These devices empower individuals concerned with their health by tracking statistics about activities that will lead to better health. However, experts believe the greatest health benefit might be the awareness gained by looking at the data every day.
What new disciplines can you and your team implement that will correlate to high performance levels?
Think about your goals and then ask, what actions do I need to consistently take to ensure we meet these goals?
The last component is the cadence of accountability. Jean built a weekly and monthly cadence into her program. She developed a discipline of logging results, reflecting on what was working and what was not working and then making small adjustments to her approach. This discipline was the key to breaking through and creating transformation.
How can you implement this cadence with your goals? What habits must be created within your team to achieve the results you seek? What habits must be broken? What's working? What's not?
If you don't develop the cadence of accountability, individually and corporately, you won't know if you are on track until it's too late to make the necessary adjustments. But if you can develop this cadence, you can spot the problem areas while there's still time to recover, you will identify the actions that are making a positive difference, and you'll build on the energy of celebrating small victories sooner.
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection, will come even more effective action." ~ Peter Drucker
Stay committed to your goal, but allow for flexibility in your approach. It is important to try to new approaches and to have a scoreboard system in place to tell quickly whether the daily routine is working.
Jean had a monthly weight loss target. She also had a daily routine that she believed would help her achieve her goal. If the daily disciplines were not delivering the results she wanted she could change her routine while staying committed to the goal.
What will you do differently today to develop this cadence of accountability in your team?
Write your goals in cement while writing your strategy in sand.
Ready to overcome the lack of clarity, energy and ownership in your team? Ready to have productive meetings and increased ownership? Would you like to solve a problem once rather than over and over? Find out more about Cadence Leadership and stop wasting valuable time and energy in an ineffective activity cycle.

I was preoccupied. I have no better excuse for my blogging negligence. The good news is, I've spent so much time away from the computer that I actually made some new things to share. I'll probably be blogging at double speed this week so I can report on last weeks makings but still stay current on the fresh things!
Other than cafe renovating, I spent most of my time away puttering with my submission for This American Life's t shirt competition.
My design incorporates two branches and a vintage radio. For me, the drawing has a very institutional feel like an ivy league school emblem and the radio even looks vaguely like a religious piece. It feels solid and timeless and even a bit royal. I liked the classic feel of the design but I felt it could also be seen as stale. I realized my color choices would be very important and serve to freshen or add femininity to the grandfatherly symbol. I went through countless color permutations and ended up feeling felt much better after infusing the image with magenta. Pale gold and ochre followed quickly after my commitment to magenta because pink and yellow may very well be my most favored color combination. In the end, I think the way it came together really suits the show.
I fear that my decision to make the design on a pink shirt may diminish my chances of winning because I know many men (and women too actually) who refuse to wear pink. I may make an alternative choice using green but, for now, my heart insists on pink.
I actually made three different sketches before deciding upon the one above. The first was of two radio towers with connecting wires that spelled out This American Life in prettily slanted script. Shamefully, that design was quickly discarded when I remembered that radio towers do not need wires because they transmit through (of course) radio waves! I felt very foolish and I'm glad I realized before spending too long on it.
The second design was based off of one of my favorite episodes and depicts the scene where a goat is standing on top of a cow and there are old letters scattered along the ground. I drew the goat and cow as if they were far in the distance and the letters scattered up to the foreground. I made all the letters addressed to This American Life and had Ira Glass's face on the stamp. I gave up on this design too because it was quickly becoming convoluted. It was a pretty obscure episode to begin with even though the whole thing perfectly aligns with my cute animals in absurd situations aesthetic.
There is one week left before the submission deadline and that gives me the chance to change my mind and you the chance to submit something too!

Patient 006 tested positive for HIV after being hospitalized for pneumonia. The doctors tested the patient due to the fact they found swollen lymph glands, night sweats very fatigued, rapid weight loss and paranoia. After a through examination they tested the patient for both oral thrush and HIV.
Patient 006 starts antiretroviral (ART) medicines while hospitalized. The medicines cause dizziness and vomiting. Inability to keep foods down caused the ending of the medications. The patient believes that they are perfectly capable of dealing with these disease without any medications. After being discharged from the hospital patient stops all medications.
Patient 006 became depressed, has a sudden increase in memory loss, went from the weight of 166 (July 20th) to 83 pounds (October 19). Also sudden appearance of odd lumps and shortness of breath. Not tested for kaposi's sarcoma.
Patient 006 starts counseling after being told the news that they have kaposi's sarcoma. They are worried about the possibility of death but still refuses treatment. Stating that they are strong enough to get through the HIV they can get through this.
Patient 006 dies from Kaposi sarcoma a cancer that forms as an AIDS indicator. The patient was not hospitalized and died alone at home.
From the beginning of HIV to the hopeful future
The earliest known case of infection with HIV-1 in a human was detected in a blood sample collected in 1959 from a man in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. (How he became infected is not known.) Genetic analysis of this blood sample suggested that HIV-1 may have stemmed from a single virus in the late 1940s or early 1950s.We know that the virus has existed in the United States since at least the mid- to late 1970s. From 1979–1981 rare types of pneumonia, cancer, and other illnesses were being reported by doctors in Los Angeles and New York among a number of male patients who had sex with other men. These were conditions not usually found in people with healthy immune systems.
In 1982 public health officials began to use the term "acquired immunodeficiency syndrome," or AIDS, to describe the occurrences of opportunistic infections, Kaposi's sarcoma (a kind of cancer), and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in previously healthy people. Formal tracking (surveillance) of AIDS cases began that year in the United States.
In 1983, scientists discovered the virus that causes AIDS. The virus was at first named HTLV-III/LAV (human T-cell lymphotropic virus-type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus) by an international scientific committee. This name was later changed to HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).
For many years scientists theorized as to the origins of HIV and how it appeared in the human population, most believing that HIV originated in other primates. Then in 1999, an international team of researchers reported that they had discovered the origins of HIV-1, the predominant strain of HIV in the developed world. A subspecies of chimpanzees native to west equatorial Africa had been identified as the original source of the virus. The researchers believe that HIV-1 was introduced into the human population when hunters became exposed to infected blood.
In recent months, NIAID and its partners made progress toward finding a vaccine to prevent HIV infection. Some of these researchers have found a simple, cost-effective way to cut HIV transmission from infected mothers to their breastfed infants. Others have developed an index to help measure the role of alcohol consumption in illness and death of people with HIV/AIDS.
Right now the thought of possible finding a cure seems daunting and unrealistic but with a lot of the research that has already taken place it is not as unrealistic as it seemed twenty or so years ago.
While sporadic cases of AIDS were documented prior to 1970, available data suggests that the current epidemic started in the mid- to late 1970s. By 1980, HIV may have already spread to five continents (North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Australia). In this period, between 100,000 and 300,000 people could have already been infected.
In September 1982, the CDC used the term 'AIDS' (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) for the first time.
By September 1983, the CDC identified all major routes of transmission and ruled out transmission by casual contact, food, water, air or surfaces.The CDC also published their first set of recommended precautions for healthcare workers and allied health professionals to prevent "AIDS transmission"
In April 1984, the National Cancer Institute announced they had found the cause of AIDS, the retrovirus HTLV-III. In a joint conference with the Pasteur Institute they announced that LAV and HTLV-III are identical and the likely cause of AIDS. A blood test was created to screen for the virus with the hope that a vaccine would be developed in two years
In March 1985, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensed the first commercial blood test, ELISA, to detect antibodies to the virus. Blood banks began to screen the USA blood supply.

The thing about games as big as The Elder Scrolls titles is that you can do a lot of morally questionable stuff in their side quests and essentially get away with it. Sure, your experience path may branch depending on how you've played the titles' bigger decisions but you can do a lot of dirty deeds in the fringes of the big RPG universes and still be deemed a hero.
Bethesda knows this about their players and know they want to hear about all the messed-up stuff you've done. If you tell them your sins, you may have a shot at attending the exclusive launch party they'll be holding for Skyrim next week in Los Angeles. You start off Skyrim in a dingy prison and this is your chance to say what heinous act put you there. So, if you robbed an entire village blind or killed innocents just for kicks, you might actually reap some rewards. Winners will get a prize pack that includes a custom Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Xbox 360 console with a 320 GB hard drive, 1600 Microsoft Points and a three-month Xbox Live Gold subscription. The vile miscreant who wins the Grand Prize gets the tricked out console, a year-long Xbox Live subscription and 16,000 Microsoft Points. You only have until Saturday to enter so get your confessions ready.

This is Jennifer Freeman, your Indiana representative with the ASHA State Advocacy for Medicare Policy Network (StAMP). I wanted to share some of the discussion from the June 6, 2017 StAMP goto meeting. Our topic was Medicare Advantage programs (MA) and was led by Kate Ogden from ASHA. We discussed the tremendous marketing that MA programs use and how they "promise the moon." Many consumers don't understand the difference between traditional Medicare and a MA. Many consumers with MA think they have traditional Medicare. Frequently these consumers are fine until a major medical event like a stroke or surgery and then they need a skilled rehab stay. Frequently that rehab stay is only approved until they can walk 50 feet and transfer to toilet.
The 2017 Medicare Advantage Summit hosted by the Better Medicare Alliance (BMA) was discussed. Check out their website for more information.
ASHA is seeking information about problems we as providers are having with Medicare Advantage coverage. Please let me know if you have an issue to share. ASHA is developing an informational handout for providers and consumers about Medicare and MA programs. I will share when they become available.
Advocating for Indiana,
Jennifer Freeman, MA CCC-SLP
To support and empower members to provide the highest quality, life changing communication, swallowing and hearing services to the people of the State of Indiana.
