On this page we're sharing some of the questions we've had from practices which we think will be useful reading for others. You'll also see these in the Pinnacle GP discussion group. We'll also link to great resources that may also answer your questions.
Go back to our main COVID-19 webpage
What shall we do if the media call?
The media have a role to play in informing the public. It is important they are given good facts, as the spread of misinformation can be very harmful. The Ministry of Health and public health units need to be the sources of truth on COVID-19.
If you are contacted by the media you are welcome to pass this over to the Pinnacle communication team. You can either:
The MOH advice is NOT to use a nebuliser in a primary care setting for patients with suspected or probable COVID-19 disease - for detailed information see the MOH website advice for health professionals - under managing suspected cases.
Remember a spacer and MDI inhaler does not carry the same risk as a nebuliser and is as effective. In this situation the patient should be in isolation, the clinician would be wearing a surgical mask, gloves, gown and eye protection and no extra cleaning is required.
The procedures that should only be undertaken in hospital because they may cause increased aerosols and potential wider spread of virus are listed by the MOH in their FAQs for health professionals.
There is no need for them to be treated any differently from normal.
What about passengers who transit through countries/areas of concern?
We are raising this question with the Ministry of Health in a teleconference tonight. Currently the case definition excludes patients who transit through countries of concern, but we understand the reasons why this is being questioned.
Read the current case definition here.
What does self-isolation mean?
We understand patients who are asked to self-isolate will have many questions. The Ministry of Health have a comprehensive web page about self-isolation for COVID-19.
Are you able to offer any advice on what we do with the room the patient with suspected Coronavirus has been in? Do you shut the room for two hours? Do you clean it, and if so what would be the recommended cleaning agent?
Coronavirus is relatively easy to kill on surfaces any hospital grade disinfectant is usually sufficient. Most suppliers of wipes and chemicals have put out updated testing of their product against coronavirus - just check the website of the product you are using for disinfection. The WHO recommends the below if you are unsure if your current product may be ineffective.
Ideally the patient will be identified before entering into the medical clinic and a surgical mask will be supplied for the patient to wear.
This will give staff a chance to remove extra items from the clinic room to decrease potential contamination for example, removing extra clinical supplies, and to move the patient's chair about two meters from workstations.
Once the person leaves the clinic room the surfaces touched by the patient or health care worker will need to be cleaned with detergent and then disinfected with an appropriate disinfectant. There is no stand down of room discussed in either the WHO or MOH information currently - so once it has been cleaned it can be reused.
In terms of waiting rooms your general cleaning should be sufficient. If a suspect case was in your waiting room a clean of the area where they were sitting is enough.
A quick query about the gowns. Are they full sleeve, round neck gowns? Just don't
want to order inappropriate items?
Yes, full sleeve, disposable is what the MOH is asking about - round neck makes sense as opposed to V neck that leaves exposed skin.
We think each practice needs at least two FULL sets of PPE - full sleeve, disposable gowns, eye protection (either face shield or goggles), ordinary surgical masks, and gloves.
We believe it is starting to make sense for practices to always have this level of PPE available.
In addition, we think it would be worthwhile having N95/P2 masks (they mean the same thing) for any future issues. This type of mask is not required with what we currently know about COVID-19, but given the levels of international travel, the rapidity with which these events develop it would be useful to have some available in your practice.

Ford Fusion Window Tint
If you seek comfort and composure, the Ford Fusion delivers with a touch of European sensibility in the chassis tuning. The Fusion steps over heaves and potholes in a way that suggests its dampers and bushings were selected with the care and budget usually reserved for luxury cars. And while it doesn't bait you into swinging around corners, the steering has nice heft and good on-center surety. A 70-mph stopping distance of 172 feet places the Fusion right in the mix with the competition. That's a marked improvement over the previous-generation Fusion, which had abysmal brakes with distances sometimes stretching beyond 200 feet.
Ford Fusion at Tint Magic Window Tinting Coral Springs. We applied 35% on two front windows and 18% on rear windows, (legal shades in Florida), Call us for a free estimate! 954-840-7883.

Mazda 6 Window Tint
It's pretty much impossible to talk about car design without sounding pretentious. This is probably the main reason professional car designers tend to wear turtleneck sweaters and space-age eyewear and jackets with too many buttons (or, occasionally, none at all); a uniform of mild ridiculousness to match this vocation of affected divination. So when Mazda 6 tells us that "Kodo" design language represents the muscular beauty of an animal pouncing, or that it takes its inspiration from the living athletic forms of nature, our first instinct—if we can manage not to snicker—is to smile and nod politely. Yes. Sure. It's a fine-looking car—can we leave it at that? Mazda 6 is that rare beast, a car that looks like it drives and drives like it looks: taut, agile, and, yes, athletic. In a world where car design is often nothing more than bending metal around a set of platform-derived hard points and then thinking up some zingy metaphors, the 6 stands out as the real thing. All the more impressive is that Mazda has pulled off the form-and-function double with a mid-size sedan.

Lexus IS 250 Window Tinting
If you're shopping for an entry-level luxury sedan with a sporty disposition, you'll undoubtedly come across the compact Lexus IS 250. Although modestly powered for a premium-brand sport sedan, the IS 250 offers all the other virtues of the IS series, including precise steering, a high-quality interior and an array of high-tech features.
Inside, the leather-lined Lexus IS 250 feels luxurious even in standard specification. Seat comfort and passenger legroom are good up front, but larger drivers might not like the cockpit's narrow feel. The backseat provides headroom and legroom on par with competing entry-level luxury sport sedans. On the move, the Lexus IS 250 is smooth-riding and quiet. Handling is sharper when the car is equipped with the F Sport package, but you should expect a stiffer ride quality as well. Overall, the Lexus IS 250's best attributes are its communicative steering and quality cabin materials.

Unbelievable - do it
I was gifted this amazing brisket several months ago for my wife's baby shower. This was hands down the best brisket I or any of the guests have ever had which they all attested to. A trick I learned was to keep some of the trimmings to "build" up the thinner part of the brisket. This kept it from dying out during the smoke/cooking process. The result was a fantastic evenly cooked brisket! I will definitely buy in the future.
Posted 5/28/2020 by Bryan
prime vs choice
Always bought my briskets from Costco (choice) and they were always good, but not Wagyu prime! You can so taste the difference! I'll spend the extra and go with SRF going forward
Posted 2/21/2020 by wardo8
Best ever
I smoked my Brisket in a locale IBCA cook-off. it came out great as always.
Posted 2/15/2020 by Best ever
Not the best ever.
I've been buying SRF briskets for years and they've been uniformly superb. This last one was a little tricky. The flat was very long and thin and difficult to keep from drying out while the point cooked. The point came out perfect. That's the problem with not being able to choose them yourself. Oh well. I'll still keep buying, the overall quality of your products is amazing and one oddly shaped brisket doesn't change that.
Posted 2/14/2020 by Andrew
Must try
My experience with brisket leading up to the SRF Black was all choice grade from a local supermarket and the results varied at best. Got this and I couldn't believe the end result. The marbling and tenderness was like nothing I've seen and the party I had was blown away. If you're on the fence about whether SRF is worth it, I promise. It is.

The Worst Foreign Policy "President" In Living Memory
DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 10 seconds ago
Did South Korea put him on a postage stamp? No-- but North Korea did. According to a report from Nicole Gaouette and Kylie Atwood at CNN, Trump has soured on South Korea, not North Korea, *South* Korea, our allies. The orange-hued imbecile "has reacted to four North Korean missile tests in less than two weeks with little more than a shrug," they wrote. "Instead, he appears to be turning his frustrations about the peninsula on South Korea.

The Chinese Army Uses Yaks For Patrols On The Border

Image: via China Defense Blog *Foxtrot Alpha/Jalopnik:* *Why China's Army Still Rides Yaks* The People's Liberation Army—the official name of the Chinese Army—still rides yaks to patrol some of the country's most difficult borders. The use of yaks, basically hairy cows adapted to mountain life, allows the PLA to go places tanks and armored vehicles can't.

*Hunter DeRensis* *Politics, Europe* [image: Reuters] Speculation is now on when Britain's prime minister will inevitably call a snap election. Prime Minister Boris Johnson stands on a shaky, battered political foundation not of his own creation. The tenure of his predecessor, Theresa May, will be remarkable only for its incompetence, unimaginativeness, inability to read public sentiment, and for one thousand, one hundred, and six days of failure to negotiate the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union.

When I think of summer desserts I often think of something that is light, airy, easy, and sometimes frozen. Who really wants a dessert that is heavy on your stomach when you are already uncomfortable in the summer heat. One top of that no one wants to turn their oven on 350 for very long when it is already 90 outside!
So here are some of my summer dessert recipe recommendations for you. Most of these came from Taste of Home 75 No-Bake Summer Desserts, so go check out that list!

How You can Resolve Bad Credit with Credit Repair Services
The first thing that you must be looking for when you are in need of a great credit repair services is those affiliations of the firm which you are taking into consideration. All of the ethical credit repair businesses are surely eager to provide you with such references according to your request. These are actually the things that you should be looking into so that you will be able to avoid those companies that are going to deceive you in your need for fast credit repair services.
The agency that you are going to consider must have a membership in the ECRA or the Ethical Credit Repair Alliance or in the same regulatory organization. Moreover, you are advised that you have to select the businesses that are actually subscribed to the Better Business Bureau if you are looking for any type of service. When you search for fantastic credit repair organizations, then such companies that belong to the ECRA are great.
This body comes with its strict codes of conduct and those businesses which have been approved by them should be able to give great services to their customers like when they need to remove collections, remove repos, remove bankruptcy and several others. Moreover, when you have auto loans bad credit. Also, you must know that the members of such kind of organization are also asked to maintain such highest ethical standards when it comes to dealing with their customers. This would help in protecting the consumers from any kind of substandard or unethical practices.
Before you would actually search for help, then it is really necessary that you first educate yourself on what is actually credit repair. There have been many of those who became victims of such scammers as they looked for a solution to their financial trouble. This is because of such fact that they are not really knowledgeable about the process of the credit repair. Hence, it is very important that you are really aware about what these services can and can't do for you.
When you know the difference, then it can be much easier for you to identify those agencies that offer false promises such as for mortgage loans with bad credit. One essential thing that you should also understand that there is no one which is able to eliminate the negative remarks that are entered on the credit report. There are also those credit repair companies that give you that false hope that they can clean the credit report in just a few months. You must certainly think carefully if this is really legally possible. Thus, you should evade those unethical methods.

|Party Name:
|Usharani Pradhan Vs Brajakishore Pradhan
|For Appellant: Debi Prasad Dhal, S.K. Dash and A. Behera, Advs. and For Respondents: Dinesh Kumar Mohanty and Deepak Kumar Rath, Advs.
|Vinod Prasad and S. K. Sahoo, JJ.
|Hindu Marriage Act (25 of 1955) - Section 13(1)(ib)(ia)
|Judgement Date:

|Orissa High Court
S. K. Sahoo, J.
"A home with a loving and loyal husband and wife is the supreme setting in which children can be reared in love and righteousness and in which the spiritual and physical needs of children can be met."
David A. Bednar
This case depicts the sordid episode of the life of a woman who spoiled her homely environment and family relationships running after the politics and politicians forgetting her solemn duties and responsibilities of a matrimonial life and neglecting her husband and children. She was cautioned and reminded of her pious obligations but she was mesmerized so much by the political thoughts and quite adamant that she failed to understand the consequence of her negligent attitude. When she faced the reality and started realizing her wrongdoings, by that time it was too late and much water had flowed under the bridge.
This matrimonial appeal has been filed by Usharani Pradhan (hereafter "the appellant") under section 28 of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 read with section 19(1) of Family Courts Act, 1984 challenging the impugned judgment and order dated 23.09.2011 passed by the learned Judge, Family Court, Puri in Civil Proceeding No. 162 of 2010 in allowing the petition filed by Brajakishore Pradhan (hereafter "the respondent") under section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and dissolving the marriage between the parties with a decree of divorce subject to payment of alimony of monthly maintenance @ Rs. 3,000/- by the respondent-husband to the appellant-wife.
It is the case of the respondent-husband that he married the appellant on 22.05.1991 in accordance with the caste, custom and rites and both of them stayed together as husband and wife and out of the wedlock, they were blessed with a daughter and a son. It is the further case that since the appellant was interested in political activities, she neglected the family and she used to return back home in the late hour of the night. Even though the respondent raised objection but the appellant did not bother about the same. She was not preparing food for her family members and behaving very badly with her husband and even gone to extent of instituting false police cases against him for which he was taken into custody. The appellant left her in-laws' house on 07.03.2007 and started residing at another place. After desertion of the appellant for a period of more than two years, the respondent instituted a divorce proceeding on the ground of cruelty and desertion.
On being noticed, the appellant appeared and filed her written statement and denied the averments made in the divorce petition. She put forth a case that after her maternal aunt expired giving birth to a female child, she and her husband adopted that child as their own daughter but when both of them were blessed with a daughter and son, the respondent lost interest in the adopted child and pressed the appellant to hand over the child back to her father. As the appellant did not agree to such proposal of her husband, there was dissention between the couple and for that reason the respondent started taking liquor and assaulting the appellant mercilessly causing serious injuries for which she instituted G.R. cases. The respondent also started maintaining distance from the appellant as a result of which their relationship deteriorated. It is her further case that after being mercilessly assaulted, she was driven out of her in-laws house with her adopted daughter for which she was constrained to take shelter in her paternal place at Jatani. The appellant denied the allegations leveled against her by the respondent regarding cruelty and desertion and it is her case that such allegations have been concocted just to get a decree of divorce and prayed to dismiss the divorce petition.
The learned Family Judge formulated the following points for determination:-
(i) Whether the respondent was entitled to divorce the appellant on the ground that she had treated him with cruelty?
(ii) Whether the appellant had deserted the respondent for a continuous period of not less than two years immediately preceding the presentation of the petition?
In order to prove his case, the respondent examined himself as P.W. 1 and proved certain documents. Ext. 1 and Ext. 3 are the certified copies of the FIR, Ext. 2 and 4 are the certified copies of the charge-sheet, Ext. 5 series is the notice issued by Mahila Commissioner and Ext. 6 series is the cash receipt issued by Sovaniya Sikhashram.
The appellant examined himself as R.W. 1.
The learned Family Judge while discussing the evidence on record has been pleased to observe that the case of the appellant that the respondent had kept the seized articles in the house of a Muslim at Tiadi Sahi which was seized by police is not correct inasmuch as the articles were seized from the house of the respondent as per seizure list and was left in the Zima of the appellant.
It was further held that the allegation that the respondent had history of contact with home guard Netramani Dei has not been substantiated anywhere rather such allegation amounts to cruelty to her better half. It was...

Designer drugs got me meditated, knees bent, hands together, elevated. So high I almost levitated. Reanimated back from the dead I tried to leave it all. Ghosts of my past back to haunt me floating through walls. Grew up degenerate, pee on the floor in stalls. Life is simple, people are complicated, earth's flat, life's crowded. Introduce the unknown, mothership landed. If you're scared, go to church, hope for prayers granted. He never answered mine and punished me. Maybe due to the foolish pride that entered me. Having bitches on all fours in their parent's home until they roll over, shake and beg for the bone. Fuck it, I'm on this earth alone. Nothing's sweet as desserts with the mascarpone and my real niggas know that. Crying over spilled milk, I thought you was a cool cat. Big boys don't cry unless it's about the money. Head in my hands, wondering if I'd lost my mind. Seen through the smoke, read between the thin white lines. I'd rather live fast and die young than live slow and die just whenever it comes. Only have cold feet when I'm a cadaver on ice. Fuck it. for me there probably ain't no guiding light. I hope there's sex and money in the afterlife because ain't that what we all really want anyway? I know my time's coming any day. Dancing with the devil, it's all a game to me. Win or lose, the pleasure is to play, it's all the same to me. What an epiphany. Woke up and smelled the turkey bacon. Won't stop till I've eaten like I'm about to go into hibernation. Nowadays if they fam I don't trust them within two feet of my vision. From a lost tribe like the Mohican. Axe swinging, last one standing, bruised but never beaten.

Rocket launches to space are very, very expensive. And a lot of that expense is wasted as the rocket boosters burn up in the atmosphere as they return to the ground. Elon Musk, via his commercial-spaceflight company SpaceX, wants to change the math of space travel. The company took a step toward that goal last week with a test launch of a reusable rocket booster that, after detaching from the main cargo capsule, is designed to gently land back on Earth.
"That's a huge milestone for SpaceX and the space industry," Musk said. "No one has ever soft-landed a liquid rocket boost stage before."
He continued, "If we can recover the stage intact and relaunch it, the potential is there for a truly revolutionary impact in space-transport costs. The cost of propellant is actually only about .3 percent the cost of the rocket, the mission.... There's potential there for a 100-fold improvement for the cost of access to space."
Musk said Space X will continue it's goal of landing a reusable rocket booster on land with the accuracy of a landing helicopter. The current test, he said, landed "within a few miles of the target," though "in this case, we were just trying to get the rocket to get at zero velocity over the water." He hopes to land a booster back to Cape Canaveral by the end of the year.
The launch booster, Musk says, can cost as much as 70 percent of the cost of any launch. So recovering them is essential to making commercial spaceflight affordable.

Hair is a love one day, hate the next kind of game
Everybody goes through seasons where their hair appears picture-perfect. And others where they'd rather hide under their blankets at home.
We hear the expression, "I wouldn't be caught dead doing…." And those with fine hair don't want to be caught anywhere with thinly bland tresses. Fine haired individuals may possess a sheer and utter sleekness like no other, but it's no secret that this hair type is hardest to maintain in terms of styling.
Our medium and coarse textures achieve successes where fine textures lack. And here's why! Compared to medium and coarse textures of hair, finer hair contributes the least amount of weight, therefore making it more challenging to hold a style. This, too, works the opposite way.
Many of us know the shape of our hair follicles determines our texture. Fine, straight textures have circular hair follicles while wavy and curly textures possess oval and oblong follicles. If your curls are spirally, then your follicle is nearly flat.
As people with finer hair attempt to add curl, they momentarily change their follicle shape. Same works for coarse and medium textures that desire to straighten. After some time, your follicle will return to its original form. I know, annoying right?
Fine Ladies With Fine Hair
Here are a few hairstyles for my super fine textured ladies that never cease to create the illusion of volume.
No one ever goes wrong with highlights. Consider the Ombre method! Defined as "shaded" in French, Ombre is darker roots that blend into lighter ends. It's high in contrast with a hint of spunk, and warm or earthy tones are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to color choices.
Dimension is your friend when you've got fine hair. If you're keen to asymmetrical haircuts (who isn't?), you might want to try an uneven bob! By bringing some of your hair from one side of the head to the opposite side, you are creating texture and weight. Pick up some texturizing salt spray, and use a flat iron to usher in some soft beach waves.
We're so quick to blow-dry our hair after a shampoo and condition in the shower, but how often do you bask in the gorgeousness of those wet tresses? It's what many of us wish our hair looked like when damp, so why not wear it proudly?
To effectively pull this off, invest in a humidity-resistant foam that will not leave your hair feeling crunchy. Products such as these will aid in fighting frizz, not to mention a silky, polished finish!

GLASSBORO — Alumni business owners Ric and Jean Edelman are no strangers to giving back to their alma mater, Rowan University — the planetarium and the fossil park there are named in their honor.
On Thursday, the couple made history with the announcement of the largest single endowed gift for student scholarships, a $10 million donation for students in the College of Communication & Creative Arts.
Ric Edelman, who graduated in 1980 with a degree in communications from what was then Glassboro State College, said the endowed scholarship is intended to reduce the financial burden of tuition for students studying in the field he loves.
"It never would have occurred to us back in our Rowan days that we would be here today," Edelman said Thursday before the announcement at the college's new Welcome Center on Rowan Boulevard. "Clearly life is more complicated today than it ever was. College is far more expensive than when we attended. And we felt it very important to help students today achieve success without the undue burden of college debt that is challenging so many American families around the country."
According to the college, the donation will support merit and need-based academic scholarships, and students selected as Edelman Scholars will be eligible for funding for conference travel, workshops and other professional development opportunities.
Edelman said he and his wife, Jean, a 1981 Glassboro State graduate with a degree in consumer economics and marketing, have always felt the importance of giving back. He said money for facilities is helpful to the college, but money for tuition will help the most students in the long run.
"If you can't afford to be here, you'll never be able to enjoy those facilities. And while facilities matter, college is all about the students," Edelman said.
During Thursday's announcement, Rowan Student Government President and communications major Arielle Gedeon, 20, of Galloway Township, said she felt overwhelming pride about being a part of a supportive college community.
"Even though we have roots as a small college, we're only getting better," she said. "To have alumni who still support the vision, who support and believe in incoming students, I just have a lot of pride for my university."
Gedeon, who takes part in the Educational Opportunity Fund scholarship, said she is a first-generation college student, so she knows how important funding for tuition is in helping students attain a higher education.
"This gift will make the path easier for students who have the drive and the talent to excel in our college and who will no doubt share their talents with the world," Gedeon said.
Rowan President Ali A. Houshmand said the Edelman gift was particularly significant because all the proceeds go directly to students.
"And given that we are a blue-collar institution … to be able to help them, and to help them in reducing their indebtedness, and to become successful citizens, is really going to have a monumental impact in the lives of so many young people for generations to come," Houshmand said.
Ric Edelman said that although it goes on in perpetuity, the gift is limited in the number of students who have access to it. He said he hopes the donation will inspire other able alumni to give back in the same way, to help more students attend college without the financial burden of student loan debt.

Framed (Bevelled Card) Print – A4 210 x 297 mm – 8.3 x 11.7 inches
(click image on left to view larger image)
Each morning we muster ourselves for the day and bring back our consciousness to the action of the day. And each night we let go of the universe we created that day, so that what does not belong may slip away and leave us free to be.
Each day we meet a universe of experience: people, places, memories, hopes and fears, things we thought would be but were not and things we thought were not, that were. It really is a kaleidoscope of experience with thousands of thoughts and hundreds of emotions every day. At the end of the day, it is what it was and is enough for that day. We need not take the day into the twilight worlds of sleep; let go of what was, knowing what was of value, was valued.
Trust that the dawn will again, as it always has, present us with a new day empty of what was, save what we choose to put into it. Allow the grace of sleep to work its wonders upon us.
