N Exercise 1.11
I could have been the assistant editor on a major Canadian motion picture, directed by and starring one of the few big Canadian names. Some people know him and many don't, of course, but that's the struggle of the English Canada film scene, I guess. Anyway, he'd made films before, with good reviews, and now here he was, asking me point-blank to be his assistant editor.
"I don't know what to say," I said, stalling for time.
"You could just say yes."
I was in a band at this point in my life, playing bass for a better musician than I ever was. I got the gig because I'd known him over a decade. We'd made video games and run online scams from my parents' basement in our youth. The third member of the band was also a best friend of mine. The two of them wrote the music, and I struggled along with the basslines I was given. I dreamed of touring alongside these guys, recording albums of hard, progressive rock, and plus, I already had a full-time job, without glamour, true, but with a steady paycheque that would cover expenses while I practiced my craft on five thick steel strings.
Further, I didn't feel comfortable with the material. The movie was a war movie, a contemporary piece set in Afghanistan about Canadian soldiers, and it incorporated a lot of documentary footage into the fiction of the film. I'd been in the editing studio, a cramped room strewn with electronics and loose wires, in a fancy building at Spadina and King, for about two weeks at that point, digging through each shot, tagging and labeling them so as to seem halfway competent, though inside I had next to no idea what I was doing there. The first day I was there I was given the script to read, because the star/director wasn't on-site, and then when I was done with that I watched his previous film, which was thematically similar, on the advice of a producer or someone, who I guess wanted me to get a good feel for the type of thing I was to help create. I thought the movie was okay – it told of Canadian history, too, in a historical-fiction kinda way. The star/director looked more handsome on screen than when I met him the next day. He reminded me unshakeably of Bill Murray later in his career, somewhere around the Royal Tenenbaums, maybe. His hair was wild and he wore sweats.
When he asked me if I wanted the job I recognized its potential to help my career, and I also recognized the intense stresses that would come alongside it. All I could think of was my bass, my place in the band. I knew I wasn't so good as a pro should, of course – the trouble was, I knew the same was true of my editorial capacities.
I said "Thanks very much, what an honour," or something to that effect, but was careful not to say yes. I did enjoy the fancy sandwiches we had delivered into the editing suite every day, going through the extensive menu while still on the clock, making our choices. This wasn't the type of treatment one could expect playing bass is a rock band whose members were scattered across two different cities and area codes.
Later, when my part was done and I'd turned down the position, basically by omission, by not-agreeing, I got a call from the principal editor Chris, and we discussed where the footage was stored. I was standing outside the Metro Police HQ getting a background check sorted.
I immediately feared for my professional reputation, which I realize now, of course, was already shattered. Or rather was already a wisp, a lifting fog, hardly tangible enough to be shattered. Chris and I talked for ten minutes or so discussing what he was looking for, and I offered what I could, but I was smoking a lot of pot then and my short-term memory wasn't great. My lack of aptitude with tags and logging became apparent, I guess, and he couldn't even find a hard drive that I'd been using. I hadn't seen this stuff for weeks by then, and so I told him what I could, and that was that.
I still have the star/director's obscure personal Gmail address saved in my own, but since then I've also had the opportunity to work on a project for his wife, which I failed at for related reasons a while later, and we've never been in contact. The film came out, incidentally, a couple of years ago. I haven't seen it but I saw a few posters. Didn't make much of a ripple, I'm afraid. Did me less good than most, though.

ISTANBUL � For weeks, U.S. players have been hearing about what they aren�t.
�Not big enough. Not old enough. And maybe even not good enough.
�On Saturday, they finally got to show what they believe they can be: the team that ends a 16-year world championship drought.
�Kevin Durant scored 14 points and got the United States started on a dominant second-quarter stretch in a 106-78 victory over Croatia in its opening game of the tournament.
���People aren�t expecting us to come out here and win, so we just wanted to make a statement and I think tonight we did,�� Durant said.
�Eric Gordon made four 3-pointers and had 16 points to lead the Americans, who turned a close game into a blowout by limiting the Croatians to six points in the second quarter. Chauncey Billups finished with 12 points.
�It was an impressive start for a U.S. team that came to Turkey without any players who helped them win the gold medal in the 2008 Olympics. Instead of those superstars, the Americans are left with a young, undersized team that features Durant, the NBA�s leading scorer, as its centerpiece.
�He scored five straight points to kick off the decisive burst early in the second quarter and added eight rebounds in just 21 minutes.
�All 12 players scored for the Americans, as coach Mike Krzyzewski was able to give his starters plenty of rest with the U.S. playing its three toughest Group B games in the first three days of the tournament.
�Though USA Basketball officials hoped to have a LeBron James or Kobe Bryant � whose picture hangs in a large poster just inside the entrance � they couldn�t have asked for much more than what they saw from the replacements Saturday.
�And it�s this group, which has been called the U.S. ��B�� team that can earn an automatic berth into the 2012 Olympics by winning the worlds � which has rarely been easy for the United States.
�As the Americans took the court for warm-ups, the overhead scoreboard was playing clips of recent U.S. failures at the worlds from 2002 and 2006. They have won the event just three times, none since 1994.
�But even without its biggest names, this U.S. team might be good enough if it plays the way it did in the second quarter.
���We like that type of adversity,�� Gordon said. ��People think we�re too young or too small, but I think we�re playing well as a team and we play much faster when we�re smaller, and we�re just an overall good team.��
�Bojan Bogdanovic scored 17 points and Marko Popovic added 16 for Croatia, which once was among the world�s best teams but hadn�t played in the world championship since winning a bronze medal in 1994.
�The Croatians hung tough for a quarter but couldn�t overcome their awful perimeter shooting in the second period.
�The Americans scored the first seven points of the game, but Croatia settled down and executed its offense well in the halfcourt to get open looks under the basket. The Croatians grabbed a 19-18 lead on Marko Banic�s follow shot with 1:42 left in the first quarter and trailed just 22-20 heading to the second.
�But the U.S. quickly blew it open in the second. Durant�s three-point play started a 12-0 run that pushed the lead to 14, and consecutive 3-pointers by Gordon and another by Rudy Gay extended it to 47-26 with 1:48 to go in the half.
�The Americans will need to sustain this level of play through four more games in pool play, then four more once the knockout stage begins.
���I think that�s what we�re learning to do,�� Gay said. ��Every day is a process and we�re getting better at it. We�ve only been playing together for what, five games? So we�re still learning to play with each other.��
�The U.S. faces Slovenia today followed by a game against Brazil on Monday.

It's never fun when your baby gets a cold, and it's even worse to feel helpless when they're crying for Mommy to help them feel better. Elizabeth has been up all night. She's trying to sleep but in her sleep crying because she doesn't feel good.
But I know she's just fighting a cold.
Here are some Natural remedies to help your baby feel better if they are under (one)
(And that'll make you feel better too!)
"As always, consult with your doctor when your child is ill and seek professional medical advice. The following is intended for informational purposes only and is not intended to treat, cure, or prevent any disease. "
Now if she was over one I'd just give her some of our Organic Elderberry syrup. But since she's under one and the syrup has honey in it I will not give it to her. And making the syrup with out honey would be pointless as the honey has a big part in it!
So how do you naturally treat a cold in a baby under one?
Try these natural remedies for infant colds.
If your new little one has a cold and you're nursing, often all they'll need is your breastmilk. This is literally the BEST of the cold remedies for infants under 3 months. Breast milk has all kinds of health-boosting nutrients customized for their body by their mama. Try more frequent nursings, and ensure baby gets to the hind milk.
Your baby might want to nurse a lot if he/she is sick and that is okay!! Let your baby nurse as much as they want, It will help them so much!
Saline drops & nasal aspirator
Many times over the counter saline drops can help. 1-2 drops in a nostril can rinse out the nose and clear nasal passages. Do this very carefully.
If their nose had dried mucous in it, this will also loosen it up.
Yes you read that right.Giving your baby some broth to drink in a sippy cup can help! Broth is hydrating, and the electrolytes (in the form of sodium) mean your body can absorb the water more easily.
If you make it with garlic, onions, carrots, lemon, and celery it will have a lot of vitamins and minerals to support healing in their bodies. You want it to be gentle for their little tummies, so don't add too many spices to it and be sure to strain it carefully.( I Would not give this before 6 months.)
Detox bath.
If your baby is sick a simple detox bath can be a awesome way to kick that cold right out of there system! I myself would not do this on a baby under 6 months. Start slowly and built up the does you baby would need for a detox bath you don't want to just throw the whole amount in the first time!
Sodium and infants can be dangerous if you use way to much.
For a baby over 6 months I would use.
1-2 Tbsp of Epsom salt
1/2 cup Baking soda
1 Tbsp. Bentonite Clay.
Cool mist humidifiers.
A cool mist humidifier near their beds or even in the area where they play can help your little one breathe easier.
They need lot's of rest!! It can be hard to get a baby to rest when they aren't feeling good. Because they want to play but don't feel good and don't know what to do!
As always thank you for reading!! 🙂

Internal research conducted on market trends and consumer behaviors provided valuable insight into the consumer profiles of the target residents. Utilizing these insights, our designers generated a relevant and marketable design that offered potential residents an environment to meet their lifestyle preferences.
Addressing the question of how to design a master plan that not only established a sense of community but increased the wellness of residents meant creating a direct relationship between the architecture and the site. A central 'green' axis and network of pathways inspired pedestrian activity along the greenway and the multi-family buildings created opportunities for interaction. Natural textures and materiality paired with modern lines gave the architecture a simple clean aesthetic that further connected it to the environment. A great deal of thought was given to the design of roof lines – varying the angles in order to bring as much light into the interior space as possible. With every unit offering views of or direct access to the exterior, residents are motivated to get out and enjoy the vibrant outdoor spaces forming a dynamic and active community.
Creating a brand for the mixed-use development started with generating a name that conveyed balance – balance between nature and the built environment, convenience and tranquility, and community and home. 'Solstice' spoke to that balance. Following the selection of the name, brand collateral was developed for a marketing package and included the design and development of a logo, color palette, print and web collateral.

The District 58 Board of Education held its spring Budget Workshop meeting on Monday, April 24, 2017. View the agenda and presentation links.
Highlights from the meeting include:
Retiring Board Member Recognition
Superintendent Dr. Kari Cremascoli and Board Members Doug Purcell, John Miller and Elizabeth Sigale led a ceremony to recognize District 58's retiring Board members: President John Cooper, Roberta Diehl, Christopher Heppner and Sallie Lupescu. Together, these four Board members have served District 58 for 24 years.
"Board Members John Cooper, Sallie Lupescu, Roberta Diehl and Christopher Heppner… have always placed the interests of children ahead of all others," said Member Doug Purcell. "They have worked hard to ensure that District 58 has met its mission of challenging and engaging each child by providing quality educational programs and support services that excite minds, touch spirits and challenge abilities. These Board members have done their best to prepare our children to make significant contributions to their world."
Purcell added that these outgoing Board members have led the District through many important decisions and challenges, including the adoption of the Common Core standards, increasing financial strains, new education programs and enhanced professional development opportunities, among others.
The outgoing Board members shared sentiments from their service. For example, Member Roberta Diehl thanked the Board and community for the opportunity to give back.
"I've really enjoyed these six years on the Board, as well as my 21 years serving District 58 as a teacher," Member Diehl said. "District 58 is a part of me, and it's always been a part of me. My heart is here, and I really wish our new Board members the best!"
Pierce Downer Principal Appointment
The Board of Education appointed Christine Clavenna to the Pierce Downer principal position, effective July 1, 2017.
Clavenna currently serves as the assistant principal at Pierce Downer and Hillcrest schools, a position she has held since 2015. She previously served as the assistant principal of O'Neill Middle School for three years and as a principal and assistant principal in Mokena School District 159 for two years. Clavenna also worked as a fifth grade teacher for 16 years prior to entering administration.
"It is my distinct honor to recommend Chris Clavenna for the position of principal at Pierce Downer Elementary School," said Superintendent Dr. Kari Cremascoli. "Mrs. Clavenna has risen to the top of a very strong candidate pool, and interview teams were especially impressed by her instructional leadership, her knowledge of elementary teaching and learning, her focus on students, and her collaborative approach to leadership."
Learn more about Clavenna's appointment to the Pierce Downer principal position.
2016-17 School Year Calendar – Last Day of School
The Board of Education approved Friday, June 9, 2017 as the last day of school for students, noting that no emergency/snow days were used during the 2016-17 school year. June 9 will be a half-day of attendance for students.
2017-18 School Year Calendar – Revision
The Board of Education approved two revisions to the 2017-18 school year calendar. The revised calendar added two half days to the calendar – Jan. 26 and April 27. On these days, students will attend classes in the morning and be dismissed at lunchtime. Staff will remain to participate in professional development and school improvement activities in the afternoon.
The District hopes that these additional half days will provide staff with valuable professional development time, without taking teachers out of the classroom during the regular school day.
2017-18 Tentative Budget Presentation
Assistant Superintendent for Business/Chief School Business Official David Bein led a discussion regarding the tentative 2017-18 budget. He emphasized that budget considerations are tentative and subject to revision. The 2017-18 budget reflects the continuation of existing programs, the purchase of a new English-Language Arts (ELA) curriculum resource, an increase in health insurance costs and other adjustments, as appropriate.
View the entire budget presentation.
2016-17 Budget Recap
The 2016-17 fiscal year will conclude June 30, 2017. To date, District 58's expenditures are on target. The District's revenues have a shortfall, due to the State's missed payments. The State provides funding to District 58 for special education and transportation through four categorical payments. Three of these four payments have been vouchered for this year, but none have been paid. Currently, the State owes District 58 $2.5 million. The District hopes to receive two of its four State payments by the end of this fiscal year.
2017-18 Budget Assumptions
While preparing the 2017-18 budget, Bein said that the District considered several revenue and expenditure assumptions.
District 58 anticipates that federal and general state aid revenues will remain flat. The District also expects to receive four mandated categorical payments from the State – two late payments from 2016-17 and two timely payments for 2017-18.
For expenditures, the District anticipates that salary increases will follow negotiated agreements.
Bein noted that health insurance claims have trended higher than expected. To account for these increases, the 2017-18 budget tentatively factored in a 10 percent increase in health insurance premiums at an increased cost of $633,000 to the District.
The District has made several recent efforts to enhance its special services to support more students with significant needs within its in-district special education programs, rather than outplacement programs. These efforts have resulted in an expected $200,000 decrease in outplacement tuition payments.
The District expects transportation, facility and O&M (operations and maintenance) spending to be relatively flat year over year. The 2017-18 budget also accounts for curriculum, professional development and staffing budgeting recommendations, as outlined in the below sections.
The 2017-18 preliminary budget currently projects $66.5 million in revenues and $67.1 million in expenditures. The District will carefully watch its cash flow, especially if the State continues to miss its payments. Short-term borrowing could be needed to fund cash flow needs. If a Lester addition is approved, the District will need to add a bond issue to its final or amended budget.
The tentative 2017-18 budget is expected to be adopted in July 2017, and the final budget is expected to be adopted in September 2017.
Curriculum and Professional Development Budget Recommendations
Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Matt Rich and Director of Innovative Technology and Learning James Eichmiller reported on anticipated curriculum and professional development budget updates for the 2017-18 school year.
The District plans to adopt an ELA curriculum for an estimated incremental $600,000 ($1.2 million split over two years, although the final cost and proportion paid in each year is still uncertain). This funding will cover resources and contracted professional training. The District also budgeted for a middle school technology refresh at an incremental $150,000 ($450,000 over three years). The 2017-18 budget also accounts for science curriculum training, ongoing Spanish program implementation costs, and a math common assessment bank. The District anticipates reduced start-up costs related to the kindergarten enrichment program.
The 2017-18 budget will continue to support staff professional development, especially in English-language arts, math, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), reporting mechanisms and technology.
Staffing Budget Recommendations
Based on enrollment projections, the District tentatively recommends the additions of a 1.0 FTE (full time equivalent) elementary classroom teacher and a 1.0 FTE biliteracy teacher, as well as the reduction of 0.2 FTE related services staff, 0.5 FTE middle school teacher and a slight decrease in instructional assistant positions.
After a careful review of programs and supports in accordance with the District's Strategic Plan Action Goals, the District also recommends the following staffing additions for the 2017-18 school year:
- Replace 1.0 FTE LRC teacher position
- Add 1.0 FTE special programs coordinator position
- Add 0.5 FTE assistant principal position
- Add 0.5 FTE English learner and biliteracy coordinator position
LRC Teacher: District 58 administrators, learning resource center (LRC) teachers and principals worked this school year to collaboratively review the LRC teacher's responsibilities to provide consistency across all schools. They also began to develop an updated LRC curriculum blueprint with common instructional objectives for each grade level to ensure instructional continuity.
As a result of these efforts, District 58 administrators recommend that the Board of Education replace the LRC teacher position that was placed on hold last year. This will enable each District 58 school to have its own LRC teacher on staff during the 2017-18 school year. The District will continue to employ a full-time LRC assistant at each school as well.
Using this model, all LRC teachers will be scheduled to fulfill primary roles and responsibilities, which include teaching LRC lessons, collaborating with other teachers, and managing the LRC.
Since schools vary widely in enrollment and needs, the amount of time it takes for an LRC teacher to fulfill these responsibilities will vary from school to school. Depending on each school's enrollment and needs, LRC teachers will be scheduled to provide varying amounts of additional secondary instructional supports, such as small group instruction in the classroom and interventions. These secondary roles will help keep the LRC teachers' workload consistent district-wide.
"For the past several years, the majority of our elementary LRC teachers have provided instructional supports to students in addition to teaching the weekly LRC lessons. We have looked more closely at the instructional support role to identify the potential benefits of establishing that practice district-wide," said Assistant Superintendent for Personnel Dr. Jayne Yudzentis. "As a result of that review, we believe this is an effective way to utilize the LRC teacher position to directly benefit students and are recommending a model that will include LRC teachers providing instructional support for students in each of the 11 elementary schools."
During the 2016-2017 school year, teachers implemented consistent LRC instructional time. Every preschooler has 20 minutes of weekly LRC time, and every kindergarten-through-sixth grade student has a 30-minute weekly LRC lesson, plus a 15-minute weekly book checkout time with the LRC and classroom teachers. Finally, middle school LRC teachers teach and co-teach quarterly LRC lessons through English-Language Arts classes to seventh and eighth graders.
Throughout the 2017-2018 school year, the administration will work with the LRC team to provide professional development focused on effective methods and approaches for collaboration and co-teaching, as well as continue developing the LRC curriculum at each grade level.
Special programs coordinator: The Special Services Department continues to evaluate all students' unique needs and expand its highly-specialized in-district programs that can accommodate the more intense needs of students, such as the Developmental Learning Program, Reaching Independence through Structured Education (RISE Autism) Program and the Behavioral, Emotional and Social Training (BEST) Program.
To better support the students, families, teachers and staff who participate in these specialized programs, District 58 recommends the Board hire a special programs coordinator.
Assistant principal: Highland School's enrollment has steadily increased, exceeding 350 students for the past three years. The District recommends the Board approve a part-time assistant principal to support professional development, teacher evaluation and support, and special education facilitation, among other responsibilities at Highland.
English learner and biliteracy coordinator: The District's Biliteracy Program will begin its fourth year in 2017-18, and the program has grown to more than 50 students. In addition, 240 District 58 students receive English learner supports. The District recommends the Board approve a new, part-time English learner and biliteracy coordinator position to lead program development and implementation; curriculum development and resources; and parent, student and staff support.
Facilities Budget Recommendations:
Studies have found that carefully-constructed and well-maintained school facilities can normally last 50-60 years. By comparison, District 58's newest schools, Belle Aire and El Sierra, are each 48 years old. Other schools range in age from 50-89 years of age, and continue to function due to careful maintenance.
Bein and Director of Buildings and Grounds Ken Young projected District 58's facility needs from present day through 2040. Their analysis showed many significant maintenance needs totaling $69 million during this timeframe. This cost estimate accounts for 3 percent inflation. The District used its 2012 Wight & Company Comprehensive Facility Assessment Report, life safety study and local knowledge to determine the District's needs.
The most common maintenance needs include roof replacements ($30 million), HVAC/plumbing ($15 million), asphalt ($6 million) and electrical service ($6 million). Assistant Director of Buildings and Grounds Geoff Neustadt reviewed each District 58 facility's unique needs, costs and an expected timeline of work.
To fund these facility projects, the District may explore fund balances, non-referendum debt and referendum debt in the future.
Lester School Space Needs
Bein concluded the budget presentation with a review of Lester's space needs. The Board heard a presentation describing possible Lester School space solutions during the regular April Board meeting. The cost estimates for the solutions ranged between $1.7 million and $4.2 million. The District's fund balances are insufficient to cover this cost; however, the District could issue non-referendum debt in early 2018 to fund this construction project. The Board will continue to consider its Lester School addition options during upcoming Board meetings.
District 58 Board of Education members are: John Cooper, president; Doug Purcell, vice president; Roberta Diehl; Christopher Heppner; Sallie Lupescu; John Miller; and Elizabeth Sigale, with Dr. Kari Cremascoli, superintendent; and Pam Osika, board secretary.

When an escort cancels, it is usually because of health issues. In such case, you will be offered a replacement and will be informed ahead of time. If you decide to cancel, all you have to do is call our agency and let us know.
Q. Is escort dating illegal? Am I in a violation of the law?
Dating an escort is not illegal. At the Rotherham agency, all dates are of age and have the paperwork necessary to prove it. When you pay, you do so to ask for a company, and any other activities can be discussed between you and your date.

Q. What should I know before my date?
It is a must that you meet your escort at the hotel first. You can make the payment there, and continue your date elsewhere afterwards. It is up to you!

The warm weather and 3 day weekend have brought some good fishing on the Green River Utah. Some BWO's have been coming off, and the streamer fishing is good! There are crowds out so prepare for some other anglers in the water.
The warm weather and 3 day weekend have brought some good fishing on the Green River Utah. Some BWO's have been coming off, and the streamer fishing is good! There are crowds out so prepare for some other anglers in the water.
The colors are changing and we've seen the first of snow for the season! The nymph fishing is good- try pseudo-nymphs or scuds. There's some dry fly action to be had in back eddies- try a small ant or parachute Adams. October is filling up- we expect the fishing to be good late into the season! Pictured below is Guide Nick Jackson with one of our favorite clients Joe Snoy. Joe landed several fish on the fly rod throughout the day including this nice Brown!
(Photo Credit: Brandon Snoy)
The dry fly fishing is decent right now on the Green River, Utah. Ants and Hoppers are working well. Brock landed this beautiful 22 inch Brown today, on an ant dry fly.
August is here and summer is almost over! The river has been busy with rafters and fisherman! Big bugs have recently been doing well for dry fly fishing. Hoppers are on the banks and fish are looking up. The pseudo hatch has started, try a pheasant tail nymph. Small ant flies are also working. We've had rain showers almost every day for the last month, so bring your rain jacket!

Since the flows have dropped the fishing has been great. Small dry flies are working well as there is a large Caddis hatch daily, Yellow Sallies have died off for the most part but can still be seen. Swarms of small midges have been erupting. Nymph fishing is good right now- try a scud or pheasant tail. Streamer fishing is also good!
Thunderstorms have been happening every afternoon so make sure you bring a raincoat when you come up!
We had a great day on the Green River yesterday with Andy and Wyatt out of Maine. We landed several fish including this awesome double! We are looking forward to a drop in release flows starting July 5th and ending July 10th at 2400 CFS.
The Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam is at 6600 cfs until tomorrow, then flows increase back up to 8600 cfs for the rest of June. Small nymphs are working well!
Flows are still high on the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam at 8600 CFS. Pat and Ralph Wood came out from California for a trip on the green with guide Nick Jackson and had a great time. Pat landed this fat Brown on the A section, nice job! Cicadas are out and about. Try a small nymph for the river.
The Flaming Gorge Dam is once again releasing 8600 CFS. Stay safe out there!
Despite the high water lots of cicadas have been seen, heard, and caught!
Inflows did not reach expected capacity for Flaming Gorge Reservoir during April and May, therefore the Bureau of Reclamation has decided to decrease flows to 6600 CFS for the next couple of weeks. Expect flows to increase again around the end of the month.

Do you believe, new car for only $ 2000?! The World's low priced Tata Nano officially launched in India. Orders are now being taken for the three different models, with the car hitting showrooms on 1 April. Delivery of the cars will start in July. Tata's affordable city car starts at 1 Lakh, or 100,000 Indian Rupees, that just under 2,000 USD (~1,450 euros).
Building with an all-new aluminum 2-cylinder 33hp 624 cc gasoline engine, the four-swiftness car comes as the Nano Standard, Nano CX, and Nano LX. The Standard comes only in three paint choices, with a folding rear seat. The CX has heated and air conditioning, five insignia to elect from, two-tone seats, helped braking, and a share ledge. Step up to the LX and you get right windows and locks, fog lamps, movable receiver steed, and rear spoiler.
Read more (details + photos)!!
Tata chief Ratan N. Tata said, "The Nano represents the soul of breaking conventional barriers. From the drawing plank to its commercial launch, the theory, development and productionisation of the car has overcome several challenges."
The Tata company also showed off a proposed European model at this month's Geneva Motor Show. It is vaguely bigger than the Indian classical, and would have a more forceful three-cylinder aluminum engine. By 2010, the Sanand plant in Gujarat, India, should be producing as many as 350,000 vehicles per year.

The PSCBC Newsletter, Festive Edition 2018, is now available for download.
The parties to the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC) in 2009 entered into an agreement commonly referred to as "Birchwood 1". This agreement in principle required parties to develop and/or strengthen collective bargaining as to underline the importance of the characteristics of a developmental state. Parties reconfirmed their support to the "Birchwood 1" agreement with the "Declaration of the Public Service Summit" signed in 2010. Both agreements required Council to call a summit on collective bargaining to strengthen the PSCBC in conducting a proper assessment and review of the current bargaining structures and develop new ones suitable for the contours of the public service while still jealously guarding centralised collective bargaining.
As part of giving effect to the collective agreements signed and reviewing of past performance and future ventures, the Council agreed to host a Collective Bargaining Indaba from 16-19 October 2018, Gallagher Estate, Midrand, Gauteng. The theme of the Indaba was:
Advancing and protecting workplace democratization through strengthening collective bargaining as to ensure economic development, social justice and labour peace within the public service

Who's Looking After the Children? [analysis]
Have we lost our moral compass so much that when an allegation is made that a child is being sexually abused by their parent, there is no national outrage of note? Have we become so cold to such cases that we don't even bat an eyelid?
As a society, we should be judged, and judge ourselves, by how we protect the young, the weak and the vulnerable.
An allegation that a child has been subjected to serious sexual abuse should prompt an immediate and thorough investigation — regardless of the circumstances, in this case a pending dissolution of a prominent musician, Alick Macheso's marriage.
Where are the women's groups?
In my view, they should be picketing relevant authorities, demanding action be taken to ensure such a heinous crime, if true, does not go unpunished and that the child or children affected, receive the protection they rightly deserve.
Why are we not hearing from ministers expressing disgust at the allegations and giving assurances to the people that this, and other vile practices, will be investigated regardless of the supposed stature of the people involved?
Ordinary people have become disillusioned with politics in recent years and it's easy to see why. Everyday issues of ordinary people have become confined to the peripheries of public discourse that people have come to expect inaction when an immoral and or illegal activity pertains to a household name or "connected" person.
If on the other hand this had been an accusation made against a politician, there's no doubt this would have been front page copy – and that is at is should be.
This case should not be allowed to go unreported.
This is a story that should be occupying the front pages of newspapers in the country – and not the non-event that is the supposed infighting of a political party.
Journalists should be elbowing each other to get a byline exposing this story.
Instead, we have got the papers carrying a glowing report on the musician performing in Mutare at the weekend when the story really should be "why hasn't he been arrested yet"!
We should be brave enough to demand that he first clears this allegation before we give him column inches.
Let's be honest about this: if true, this is a simple case of paedophilia and should be condemned in the gest terms possible, and we should see the wheels of justice turn. Society should ostracise anyone who seeks to harm children in the name of sexual gratification disguised as some unfounded voodoo practice. Period.
Traditional healers should be weighing into this too as this is supposedly being done in the name of traditional "witchcraft".
Record companies and music promoters should be moving with haste to suspend their association with the musician until the issue has been settled.
It is unbelievable that at a time such an accusation has been made, the media is reporting that the Zimbabwe National Council for the Welfare of Children recently hosted a workshop for journalists to talk about children's rights and protection!
So why has the Zimbabwe National Council for the Welfare of Children remained mum about such a high-profile allegation?
If they need to raise their profile as an organisation worthy of their name, then surely this allegation against the sungura musician is something they should be picking up.
They should be phoning all the journalists who attended the workshop, and demand that part of the deal (in accepting per diems that would no doubt have been given at the workshop) was to put into practice what they learnt! Otherwise, this council isn't relevant and should disband forthwith. Meantime, who's looking after the interest of the voiceless children being sexually abused – allegedly?

Introduction to the 7 Habits of Highly Successful Sales Coaching
Sales Coaching Habit #1 – Be a Leader
Sales Coaching Habit #2 – Coach to Your Existing Sales Process
Sales coaching needs a context in which to set goals and stretch the salesperson, you can't just say to the coach "Go and coach the salespeople." They need to coach to the "known" and the ideal context would seem to be the company sales process. This gives a defined set of parameters to work from and one that at least gives a firm basis to evaluate development.
A successful strategy to develop a sales process has been to identify best practices. By getting a number of top-performing salespeople to record what they do, how they do it, and when they do it, a sales process can be identified. After a period of evaluation and testing, followed by objective feedback, the process can be documented and used as a basis for training and coaching.
The more salespeople that can be involved in the testing of the process, the better. When the salespeople feel included, they will be far more committed to following the process because they contributed to creating it.
The steps formulated in the new sales process can form the foundation for specific performance standards that give the salespeople a roadmap to follow and allow the organization to assess the development needs of each salesperson.
Having a context to coach from then leads to the question, "What are you trying to achieve — long-term skills improvement, or short term gain (winning deals)?" Ideally you want to achieve both these, but they won't both be achievable at the same coaching session.
In a recent survey for The Complex Sale, 75% of respondents said deal coaching was very important to their success and yet 57% reported they needed some significant improvement in this area. This may indicate that getting the deal is taking precedence over the long-term development of salespeople, which in the long run may be counterproductive.
The evidence shows that the one-off actions salespeople take to improve their deal-level performance can be successfully coached, but these actions often don't get repeated from deal to deal. They need more high-level skills development to embed these actions into their working lives. Recent research by SEC confirms that approximately 50% coaching at tactical level for individual sales and 50% coaching at high level for skills is a good compromise to achieve longer-lasting results.
One could argue that this sounds more like the traditional role for training; however, lasting skills development needs more time than the traditional one- or two-day course with limited follow-up or practice time.

7 Mind-Blowing Reasons Why Bengal Cat Breeders Austin Texas Is Using This Technique For Exposure | Bengal Cat Breeders Austin Texas
Bengal Cat Breeders Austin Texas
– One very important aspect to consider in buying a Bengal cat is its actual price. Well, if you want to have a Bengal into your home, you should really well know it's a rare breed. With rarity comes the large cost, so you ought to expect that a Bengal cat may cost from 500 USD to approximately 5,000 USD, based on what Bengal quality you prefer.
Image Source: bengalcatworld.com
As you know, there are 3 chief types of Bengals-pet quality, breeder quality, and display quality. Pet quality Bengals cost 500-1,000 USD while a breeder or show quality Bengal could cost from 1,500-5,000 USD (reveal Bengals could be more expensive depending upon the breeder).
Besides the actual purchase of this Bengal, it's also advisable to take note of the basic expenses in maintaining or maintaining it. Here are some factors so that you may have an Notion of just how much a Bengal could cost:
Micro-chipping is very important for the identification of your Bengal. It really makes a difference especially if you lose your kitty by chance. Embedding a microchip in your cat may cost you 50 USD.
Sterilization (spaying/neutering)
On the other hand, sterilization your Bengal cat can cost you basically 100 USD if you need it done n your healthy kitten. Sterilizing your own Bengal can cost up to 200 USD if your cat has complications. Bengal Cat Breeders Austin Texas

The cost of the breeder cat food varies from time to time, depending on the purchase price of raw materials. You need to keep yourself updated with all the price variations in your local grocery store.
Medical maintenance
Vet care and vaccines should be regarded too. Work with your vet to find the payment methods which you can avail of (health insurance). This may also include potential emergency care, hospitalization, nutritional supplements, and other medicines. This is a very important factor in determining how far a Bengal could cost. Vaccinations cost 50-70 USD, whilst flea and de-worming drugs cost 20 USD.
Insuring your Bengal cat could genuinely help you from the entire medical cost to getting you reunited with your Bengal (if you lost it). Including this on your Bengal budget is a must. Bengal cat insurance may cost 30 USD monthly.
Grooming and training equipment
You ought to have these to be sure that your Bengal stays clean and learns proper behaviour, especially in the toilet. Using a tidy and well-trained Bengal can cost a lot but it is going to certainly be worth it. Grooming and training your Bengal cat can cost 20 USD. Bengal Cat Breeders Austin Texas

The sum of money required in obtaining a Bengal cat also depends upon where you're likely to get your own Bengal. If you choose to get your cat from a reputable breeder, then you should be preparing a bigger amount. However, if you're likely to get your Bengal cat from a rescue centre, it is only going to cost you much less because you'll be embracing the cat. Regardless, you still need to consider the costs in maintaining your Bengal cat.

COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA — U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham made the following statement after winning the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate:
"Last night, I was honored to receive the Republican nomination for the United States Senate.
"First, I want to thank all of my supporters, volunteers, and campaign staff for your hard work and dedication. Team Graham is as much of a family as I've ever had.
"Over the past few months, our volunteers made over one million phone calls, distributed twenty thousand yard signs, knocked on thousands of doors, and organized events all over the state. It's clear that we have one of the best political organizations in the country.
"Our win was a victory for conservatives who are willing to solve problems. What my critics suggest is my biggest flaw, the voters of South Carolina saw as my biggest asset.
"Leadership and problem-solving come with political risk, but I've found it's very much worth it.
"Now we turn our attention to winning the general election in November. I want to go back to the Senate with a purpose – to continue standing up for our military, to build the Keystone XL Pipeline, to repeal and replace Obamacare, and to take care of our state's needs – like modernizing the Port of Charleston. I'm going to keep being that conservative leader you can count on to get things done.
"To the people of South Carolina – thank you. I will not let you down."

Clients wait longer for income payouts
Cost pressures are prompting increasing number of clients to take longer wait periods on their income-protection cover.
Tuesday, July 24th 2018, 6:00AM 1 Comment
by Susan Edmunds
Russell Hutchinson, of Quality Product Research, which runs QuoteMonster, said it had been noticeable for the past couple of years that fewer people were taking four-week wait periods and most opted for 13.
"It reduces the cost quite a lot. It's the most significant thing in terms of cost reduction that you can do with income protection, short of reducing the benefit term."
It worked for clients who had a financial buffer, he said. Many could get through 13 weeks with a combination of sick leave and emergency funds.
About 40% of quotes were done on the basis of a 13-week wait, he said.
While income protection rates were steady, more people were opting for mortgage protection products, Hutchinson said. These are often used as a base level of cover for expenses, and topped up with income protection, because mortgage cover is not offset by ACC.
That top-up model was good from an advice perspective, too, he said, because if a client decided they could no longer afford the full cover, the could drop back to just the mortgage protection.
There was 40% more mortgage protection cover quoted in 2017 than in 2016, Hutchinson said. "We're routinely seeing over 1200 cases quoted a month. The average annual premium quoted for income protection is just over $1600 per year, for mortgage protection that figure is just over $800 per year."
It was still only quoted half as much as health insurance and a third as much as trauma insurance, he said.
"Which is reflected in the level of ownership in society as a whole – which is low. Yet in figures provided to us by consulting actuaries, we're told that in a typical working life one in four couples will experience a period of six months or more during which a person is unable to work due to disability."

Comments from our readers
With those with mortgages, many existing contracts have provision for mortgage holiday's, and the newer mortgage contracts are subject to the consumer credit act, where lenders have to be reasonable about helping clients meet their obligations.
So when looking at many clients situations, considering the ability to put the mortgage on a premium holiday is a reasonable approach. The lenders are always keen to manage the situation of financial distress, and a disability does cause that quite acutely. When you can explain that the bank will get its money in 90days, either through the return to work of the disabled person, or the payment of an insurance benefit, they're quite happy to accommodate the request. Even in the toughest of LVR situations.
This results in the situation that a client is only exposed to the cost of this plan at the time of a disability if it happens in the form of an increased interest bill for the 90 days, rather than the immediate cost of the increased premium right now on the basis that it might happen which in the long term is substantially more cost.
In increasing the wait period, the client has substantial savings in this area and is more likely to take the cover knowing that the big stuff is covered and they will cope with the minor stuff.
Yes, I hear the most claims are back at work in 2-5 years, and that can be an additional premium management strategy later in life, for the younger ones, under 50, retirement is a long way away if they face permanent disability, so reducing payment terms is a fraught approach for an adviser.
I've had 3 in the last year, that have been TPD for IP purposes, 41, 23, and 51, and maybe another 51 year old that's in the middle of the assessment. So no, reducing payment terms to manage premium is not necessarily the best approach, extended wait periods are more effective.
The family will help out for a few weeks/months, but they grow tired of it if it is 20 years...

Environmental Disclosure
Environmental Disclosure Statement
On December 15, 1998, the New York State Public Service Commission directed all businesses subject to its jurisdiction that supply retail electric service to provide their customers with periodic environmental disclosure statements. The commission's directive applies to all electric utilities, energy service companies (ESCOs), and jurisdictional municipal and electric cooperatives. The New York Power Authority and the Long Island Power Authority will participate on a cooperative basis.
It is the Public Service Commission's intention that every retail electric provider will disclose this information to its customers every six months. The Board of Public Utilities will include the Environmental Disclosure Label in its customer newsletter as directed by the New York State Public Service Commission.
Amount of Air Emissions Produced
The environmental disclosure label contains a breakdown of the fuel source of the power generated or purchased and the amount of air emissions that power generation or purchase caused during a specific period of time.
The label also includes each utility's air emissions relative to the New York State average including the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and carbon dioxide (CO2) given off by power generated and purchased.
Disclosure Label from Previous Years
The description of these fuel sources in the Disclosure Label Documents does not include the Board of Public Utilities (BPU's) energy efficient heating system. The district heating system uses energy "twice," by utilizing steam from the power production rather than wasting this heat. This means that the BPU emissions are actually lower than reflected here for every unit of energy output because of its district heating system.

And it's not what you think...
Amazon have revealed that they're currently in the process of developing a brand new free-to-play MMO set in the world of The Lord of the Rings. A collaboration between Amazon Game Studios (who are currently also producing the MMORPG New World), Leyou Technologies Holdings Limited (the publisher of the successful Warframe), and the Middle-Earth Enterprises, according to the press release the title will "give fans around the globe a new, immersive game experience for epic exploration of the vast world of Tolkien."
What's interesting is that despite being made by the streaming giant in charge of the latest TV iteration of the property, the game won't actually be linked to it. The upcoming show is set thousands of years before the books and the movies, but the video game won't be. Consequently, you should expect to see a bunch of iconic characters and locations from the main series translated over.
Though the words "free to play" still have negative connotations associated with them, they're not the instant mark of bad quality they used to be, and titles like Warframe have done a lot to prove that they're not just an excuse to exploit a license and nickel and dime customers. There's no release date yet, but it is confirmed for PC and consoles, and will presumably drop in the same window as Amazon's new show, which is expected in 2020 at the earliest.

Manufacturer: Hamilton (View all products by Hamilton Halters)
Model: Halter (View all Halter reviews)
Category: Halters/Ropes/Leads
Purchase: I paid about 20 dollars for this halter at my local tack shop. I got it because I heard such great things about Hamilton
Likes: I like everything about this product. It comes in many colors, its well made, and fairly fancy for a nylon halter.
Dislikes: The halter I bought didnt have a safety feature, but the horses dont get turned out with halters on, so it doesnt matter to me.
Quality: Excellent construction and quality. I have heard nothing but the best about Hamilton, and i agree with what everyone else told me.
Summary: Great Stable halter! I wouldnt turn the horses out with it on, due to the lack of a break away. They make cheap halters for turnout. But this one is byfar the best halter i bought.

CIPPIC Participates in CRTC Discussion on the Future of TV
In preperation for a series of hearings that will reexamine television policy from the ground up, the CRTC has encouraged Canadians to host a series of 'Flash! Conferences', with the intention of gaining views from the general public on television preferences. The Conferences were intended to canvass a range of issues. Foremost amongst these is are challenges posed to Canada's broadcasting policy objectives by the transition to new media platforms such as the Internet and other digital networks. Additional concerns related to the need to secure a level playing field by ensuring fundamental principles such as net neutrality are preserved in the new ecosystem. Finally, the discussions seeked to reconcile complex conflicts relating to maximizing viewer choice in television packaging, reducing out of control cable pricing and securing the ongoing creation of quality Canadian content. CIPPIC co-hosted a Flash! Conference in Ottawa, and helped review a report summarizing results from another series of Flash! conferences facilitated by our friends at OpenMedia.ca.

"I need a new planner." It's not true, but I keep telling myself that it is. Right now, I'm using a small binder to carry with me and a normal-sized binder to keep reference info. Now that I'm rather largely pregnant, I don't carry more than my wallet and the small binder. The bigger binder gets left in the car a lot, unless I'm sitting in a waiting room somewhere– then I get it out and pay bills, plan menus, etc. Honestly, even when I'm using the bigger binder, I still leave it in the car and just take what I need out of it.
|In my small binder, I have:
|In the bigger binder, I have:
I want a better system. I need a better system. I end up moving stuff from the big binder to the smaller to make it more "handy", then my stuff is all over the place or cramped in my tiny binder. I like the A5 size binder – because it is really easy to make your own pages, but it's half the size of a standard binder. There's enough room to write, but it doesn't require a tote bag to carry it around. It seems to be a nice hybrid of what I'm using now.
And, of course, I want a purple one. It has to be pretty or I won't use it regularly.
This is my dream binder.
The Filofax A5 Finchley in Imperial Purple. It's the bigger, purple version of what I use as my small binder. The leather is so soft and luxurious. And, of course, it's purple. But, it's ridiculously expensive and it's not available in the US –so, as much as I love it, I won't pay to have it shipped from Italy.
So these are the candidates:
Both are size A5.
Both have credit card pockets.
Both have a notepad spot in the back.
|The Day Runner Terramo:
-is closer in design to the Filofax Finchley (pictured above)
-has a big pocket on the inside to keep loose papers or even a small notebook
-comes with a notepad
-is the exact planner Mom has, so I can actually hold it and see if I would like it
|The Filofax Domino:
-is a Filofax.. I'm partial to Filofaxes
-has two pockets on the inside to keep loose papers
-does not come with a notepad
-is not sold in stores, so I can't go see one before I buy it (though, there are many blog reviews of the A5 Domino)
-has a secure closure that would hold lose papers – even on the outside cover of the binder (ie. shopping lists).
I can find them for around the same price. The Filofax seems to run a bit more expensive most of the time, unless a good deal appears on eBay.
Help me decide!! Vote in the comments :o)

The main threat of an Email
StealthMail uses Email to send only Stealth-Links that do not contain any user information whatsoever. Only through Stealth-Links can an authorized user access encrypted Email content and attachments.
Thus, untrusted 3rd party mail servers will only receive and transfer Stealth-Links, which can't be decrypted as they do not contain data. This approach to protecting Emails makes SMTP, SSL/TLS vulnerabilities complete non-issues.

Highest Paid DJs 2015 – According to Forbes
The highest paid DJs 2015 list compiled by Forbes has been released and it's that time of the year where we all gasp in amazement at just how much money the biggest earners actually get paid to travel the world and perform over the past 12 months.
Okay that is an over simplification of what they actually do.
A quick glance through the list of Highest Paid DJs 2015 will tell you immediately that it is of course made up entirely of producers who DJ too. Or for some, perhaps just press play and throw their hands in the air.
Watch: Seth Troxler claims EDM music is 'ear rape.'
The article by Forbes is aptly titled 'Electronic Cash Kings 2015'
To be honest the Highest Paid DJs 2015 list is pretty predictable if you consider the amount of media coverage is dedicated to the artists on here and the types of events they all play at – massively commercial EDM raves and festivals which is more about the hype than anything that resembles house music culture.
Pinup boy Calvin Harris is number 1 yet again and the DJ everybody loves to hate… [or is it ridicule?] comes in as number 2 – David Guetta. He must have been counting his dollars when he decided to do the dance music remix 'Clap Your Hands' such was his joy.
Although he's not an EDM staple on the biggest and most commercial line-ups and his last double album was actually a substantial offering of pretty good electronica, media favourite Deadmau5 creeps in at number 10 on the Highest Paid DJs 2015 list. Who says being an internet troll is not good branding?
Forbes' explanation as to the methodology they use for rankings are as follows;
"Our earnings estimates include income from live shows, endorsements, merchandise sales, recorded music sales and external business ventures. Sources include Nielsen, Songkick, Pollstar, RIAA, promoters, managers, lawyers and some of the artists themselves."
Near misses from the Highest Paid DJs 2015 list include Alesso, Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Nervo, DJ Snake, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell and Krewella.
Highest Paid DJs 2015
1.Calvin Harris ($66 million)
2. David Guetta ($37 million)
3. Tiësto ($36 million)
4. Skrillex ($24 million) tied with Steve Aoki ($24 million)
5. Avicii ($19 million)
6. Kaskade ($18 million)
7. Martin Garrix ($17 million) tied with Zedd ($17 million)
8. Afrojack ($16 million)
9. Deadmau5 ($15 million) tied with Diplo ($15 million)

Heart failure (right sided heart failure and left sided heart failure) is the inability of the heart to maintain adequate circulation due to decreased myocardial contractility. It can also be defined as the inability of the heart to carry out its pumping function thereby reducing blood, oxygen and nutrient to vital organs needed for metabolism.
- Right Ventricular Failure/ right sided heart failure or congestive heart failure
- Left ventricular failure / left sided heart failure
- Hypertension
- Valvular defect
- Pulmonary Occlusions
- Obesity
- Septicemia (a dangerous infection of the blood)
- Hyperthyroidism (excessive functional activity of the thyroid gland)
- Infusion overload
- Emotional Stress
- Drug Abuse
- Excess Salt Intake
- Kidney Dysfunction
- Pregnancy with underlying diseases
- Family history
- Coronary Artery Disease
- Pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium-the membranous sac that encloses the heart)
- Myocardial infection
The various causes of heart failure elevates heart rate consistently. This is on compensatory mechanism. Initially, there is increase in stole volume and cardiac output . Persistent contraction of the heart over a long period of time will lead to heart failure. This will result to stasis or accumulation of blood within the ventricle and its atrium. There is back flow through pulmonary veins into the lungs resulting in pulmonary congestion. This will cause difficulty in breathing . There will be coughing due to irritation.
If the condition persists, the compensatory mechanism will slow down and contractions will reduce causing decrease cardiac output which will diminish circulation or supply to vital organs, such as the kidney, brain and G.I.T causing oliguria, sodium-water retention, mental sub normality, dyspnea(difficult or laboured respiration) and fatigue, congestion of lungs will impair pulmonary circulation (no place for pulmonary artery to empty) leading to right heart failure.
HEART FAILURE TREATMENT is administered whenever these symptoms surface
Right heart failure
Below are the common symptoms of right sided heart failure
- Edema (dependent pitting edema)
- Fullness
- Ascites
- Hepatomegaly (Liver congestion)
- Abdominal pain
- Cardiomegally
- Weight gain
- Jugular Vein Distention
- Weakness
Left sided failure
Below are the common symptoms of Left sided heart failure
- Dyspnea
- Coughing (Frothy Blood Tinged Symptom)
- Fatigue
- Mental Confusion (insomnia & restless)
- Oliguria
- Exercise, Intolerance
- Rapid and Irregular Pulse
- Anorexia
- Orthopnea
- Pale Cool Extremities
- Radiological examination of the chest will reveal cardiomegaly and vascular congestion of the lungs. Hypertrophy or myocardial damage.
- Arterial blood gas studies reveal decreased partial pressure of arterial oxygen and increased partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide
- Elevated blood sodium
- Elevated blood urea nitrogen
- Pulse oximeter will reveal decreased oxygen saturation
- Elevated central venous pressure in right sided heart failure
The aim of management is to reduce the work load of the heart, improve its pumping ability and prevent the various factors that can lead to the condition.
The management is basically chemotherapy (use of drugs). Drugs used to manage the condition:
- Cardiac glycosides: These drugs increases the force of myocardial contractions and sgow heart rate and conduction through atrioventricular node and bundle of HIS. Examples are digoxin and digitoxin o.25mg T.D.S. if pulse is less than 60 beats/min, hold and question order.
- Diuretics: These drugs are used to get rid of excess and the accumulated sodium, thereby decreasing the blood volume which decreases the workload of the heart
- Vasodilator therapy: These drugs act directly on blood vessels to cause dilations and decrease peripheral vascular resistance thereby decreasing the heart work. Examples are hydralazine and nitroprusside sodium. If blood pressure is less than 90/60mg, hold and question the order
- Broncho-dilators e.g. aminophiline are used to dilate the broncho tree to ease respiration
- Expectorants: e.g. beniline and codine are used to clear excess secretions in the respiratory tract.
- Antilipidermics agents are used to lower serum cholesterol level thereby enhancing free flow of blood within the blood vessels
- Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors: They are used to block angiotensints at the receptor site thereby decreasing peripheral vascular resistance examples are loartan and valsartan. The patient should be taught about orthostatic hypotension and should be instructed not to discontinue therapy abruptly. The drug should not be given if the blood pressure of the patient is less than 90/60mmhg.
- Admission: Patient should be admitted in cardiac bed with back elevated to attain fowler's position, the environment should not be noisy to prevent irritation. Adequate rest is very necessary to reduce the heart work load and to conserve energy since the patient is fatigue
- Observation: Routine observation of vital signs in the parent is very necessary. The weight of the patient is taken daily and thee authority/supervisor is notified if patient gains weight daily. This is a sign of fluid retention.
- Nutrition/Diet: Patient needs low sodium diet as prescribed to decrease fluid retention and subsequently the workload of the heart. Reduction of high cholesterol diets. Institute high fiber
- Physical care: Bed bath/care of pressure area should be carried out to prevent pressure sores since the patient spends more time on the bed. Assistance should be given to the patient in self care activities, such as oral hygiene and grooming. Passive and Active exercise is necessary to prevent contractions.
- Psychological care: The patient should be reassured that he or she will be relieved of the various symptoms after treatment regimes instituted
- Education/Advise on Discharge: Patients clients and family should be taught on adhering to low fat/cholesterol and sodium diet. Patient should avoid climbing, walking or lifting heavy objects, pushing , emotional upset and constipation. Smoking should be discontinued, the importance of medical checkup/supervision should also be stressed.
- Impaired gas exchange related to pulmonary venous congestion evidenced by dysponea, cyanosis and restlessness
- Fluid volume excess related to decreased cardiac contraction/increased sodium retention evidenced by weight gain, jugular vein distention, ascitis and edema
- Anxiety related to fear of prognosis or fear of death evidenced by patient's complain
- Absence of heartbeat
- Brain damage
- Cardiomegaly
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Coma

Metal Gas Inert Welding Basics
MIG welding is also known as metal gas inert welding? This welding process requires a constant supply of voltage and current from a direct source.
This welding process is mostly used for industrial purposes. This is especially true for the automobile industrial process. This process makes use of a consumable electrode that also uses a shielding gas to protect the area of weld. This welding is not used outdoors or areas which would have air volatility. A welding gun is used in this process to weld two metals together.
This welding technique can be used to stainless steel aluminum and cast iron. This type of weld makes for very strong joints between two metals. This is one of the reasons why this type of welding is mainly used for industrial purposes.
Also most industries have a direct supply of current; therefore it is not a problem to supply the welding equipment with constant direct current.

This past holiday weekend was a hot reminder of how easy it is to fall back into the ease of beachside summer dressing. Those heels and glammed out dresses we thought we'd be rocking all weekend? Well, let's just say they're still sitting at the bottom of our suitcases.
But if we're planning on taking a more relaxed approached to styling ourselves this season, that doesn't mean we're letting our look take the boring route. Case in point: The perfect summer statement necklace by Erickson Beamon, above. The colorful beads and African-inspired design says bohemian, global traveler and as for the loud colors, it'll pair perfectly with a simple, basic tee. Or try it with a monochromatic long maxi dress it'll give you just the carefree spirit summer is meant for. Erickson Beamon beaded necklace, $980, netaporter.com.

The TiF-100 laser system offers the highest average power and the broadest tuning range in the TiF laser family which emits spectrally-limited pulses with a duration shorter than 100 fs. Among TiF series lasers, this model has the highest average output power, both in the pulsed femtosecond mode and in the continuous wave mode with a narrow beam line. The unit is a flexible tool suitable for numerous applications and can really be a workhorse for many different projects going on simultaneously.
The system can be supplied as a stand-alone version for pumping with an external pump laser or as a version with an industry-standard pump laser integrated on site or at our factory. However, the dimensions of the Ti:S laser head are the same for either version, the stand-alone version may later be fitted with an integrated pump laser at minimum additional cost. The acceptable pump laser power for the TiF-100 is up to 10 Watts. See tuning curves in the datasheet for output power vs. wavelength dependence.
There are three pre-designed factory supply packages:
- the 'Manual' package includes a push-button non-automatic electric starter and allows manual tuning of the wavelength and pulse duration setting by using micrometer screws placed on the walls of the laser box.
- the 'Basic' factory package includes a simple USB motorized wavelength tuning slit and a push-button non-automatic electric starter. Wavelength tuning and calibration with this package is done via step number information in basic Windows software.
- the 'Auto' factory package includes built-in spectrometer and power meter, single-touch wavelength tuning with presets, configurable widget software, active power lock function and automatic mode-lock start and monitoring. With this package the system boasts exceptional long-term stability and longer uninterrupted runtime.
The system can also be equipped with an optional birefringent filter and optional etalons providing narrowband tunable CW regime over the whole tuning range.
An external prism pair or a tunable pulse compressor (the APC Kit or APC Pro units) for dispersion pre-compensation is also available.
The monolithic thermostabilized body of the TiF-100 provides excellent passive stability of the output radiation parameters.
