Happy Birthday to Nomadic Meg!
Not my actual birthday day… This blog’s birthday!
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 1 year since I started travel blogging. Time has flown by! I still feel like a baby in the world of travel bloggers (and I still am… and probably always will be) but as soon as I started up Nomadic Meg as nothing more than a school project, I was welcomed into this ever expanding community. With this little milestone I’ve hit, I feel like pointing out all the things that I’m so thankful for because of this blog.
Looking back on my very first post Living at NTU, I actually cringe. It’s horribly written especially when compared to how I write now. Granted, I did take a creative writing course between then and now, but writing is a skill that needs to be practiced and this blog has really given me a place to practice. But more than just skill, my love for writing has really developed. I’m at work and I have the urge to write instead of edit audio or design an infographic (sometimes it’s a serious struggle to focus on my work). This blog has become a real source of joy for me.
I’m going to say it, I love Toronto Travel Massive! I had no idea how vast travel blogging was until I attended a Travel Massive event. This amazing community of people has really helped me grow as a blogger. I’ve gotten tips about travel, tips about content, and I’ve been inspired by just sharing stories with fellow travel bloggers. As I pack up to move to Kitchener/Waterloo next month, Travel Massive is definitely one of the things I’m going to miss most about having a home base in Toronto. – Find out if there is a Travel Massive meet-up near you: http://travelmassive.com/
I’m not going to go into too much detail here because you can read about it in My First TBEX post. But TBEX really was a life changing moment. I started to realize that this blog can be more than the school project it started out as. I couldn’t be more happy that I was peer pressured into buying a ticket and I look forward to attending another one (no hesitation next time).
This is what it comes down to. I’m all about the people. I’ve had the opportunity to meet people through Travel Massive and TBEX that now I hold as friends. There are also the other bloggers I’ve talked to via internet that I hope one day we are in the same city at the same time to meet in person. I love meeting new people, having great chats, and leaving with an open invitation to come visit whenever after only one night of meeting. It’s one of my favourite things about travel and this blog has allowed me to do that more even when I’m not the one travelling.
So, Happy Birthday Nomadic Meg and heres to many more!

“Now there’s this weird thing with Karl Lagerfeld, which I literally just learned about an hour ago — people are like, ‘So you called him old and skinny?’ And I’m like, ‘Well, what is he? Young and fat? He’s not!’” the singer told Into the Gloss. “I have no desire to stay super-thin, super-perfect. And when I grow up, I want to look like Patti Smith, that’s how I feel exactly. Mustache and everything, that sounds great.”

TRIGGER WARNINGS: The following post deals with miscarriage, mental illness, the consequences of denying women the right to an abortion, racism, violence, and murder.
Kansas is an odd place. In many ways, it is very conservative, but it has some of the more liberal abortions laws in the country. Back in the early 1990s when Dr. George Tiller’s clinic was besieged by Operation Rescue protestors, my mother was one of the counter-protestors who stood to protect the clinic and its clients, even though the clinic had been bombed in 1986 and the threats of violence from people who called themselves pro-life were constant and real. In 1993, Dr. Tiller was shot in both arms, and in May 2009, he was murdered in his church while welcoming congregants to services.¹
The battle carried over to the op-ed pages of the Wichita Eagle. My mother showed up there, too, in this letter to the editor she wrote in response to a young woman making a case for adoption. One additional note: in her letter, my mother uses the racist term “mongoloid,” which was, for a time, the descriptor used for people with Down’s syndrome. I do not excuse her usage, but would like it noted that she quickly became aware of the hurtful nature of the word, and quit using it shortly after she wrote this letter.
Most women who have an abortion do so to save their lives, their sanity, their health, their jobs and finances, their family’s well-being. Vote for choice.
UPDATE, 18 September, 2020: Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. It is exceptionally painful that she did so on Erev Rosh Hashanah, a time that is supposed to be focused on renewal. At the moment, I feel as if my hope has vanished. The federal judiciary is already stuffed with TWO HUNDRED white, male, ultra-conservative judges who are lifetime appointees — ten of whom are considered unqualified by the ABA¹ — and who will inexorably make their way up the ranks, gaining more and more power as they go. We don’t feel it much now because the current judges in the upper echelons are more centrist or liberal than the ones snapping at their heels. The damage will affect generations to come — if our country, our species even lasts that long. Justice Ginsburg made it known. that
“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” Ginsburg told her granddaughter just days before her death, according to NPR.²
Despite this last wish of a revered, iconic hero, despite McConnell’s conveniently forgotten assertion that justices should not be confirmed in an election year,³ McConnell and Trump have already declared that they WILL shove another judge onto the bench.
I am terrified. I see the erosion and eradication of reproductive rights, women’s rights, and voting rights, the suppression of social justice for Black/BIPOC Americans, for the LGBTQ+ community, for those of us who adhere to minority religions or no religion at all. I see support for corrupt politics that are driven by wealth, the continued degradation of the environment in get name of “the economy,” as if we can have an economy if we can’t live on the planet.
Call your senators. E-mail your senators. Write. your senators. Drop in on your senators. And VOTE.
The constant denigration by elected officials of our leading researchers, of those who base their arguments on reason and evidence, erodes confidence in the science and research that produce the tested cures we need, that keep us safe from chemicals and pollutants, that track the food we eat. Remember last year when there was a sudden decision to shift USDA researchers from Washington, D.C., to Kansas City? That was an ill-advised move because
“Moving these researchers out of Washington puts them out of earshot from policymakers. A lot of the research that scientists and economists do at [the USDA] has policy implications, and members of Congress need this information and need to have face-to-face meetings with these researchers,” Rebecca Boehm, with the Union of Concerned Scientists, told The Hill.
“It keeps science out of the policymaking process. And we’ve seen many times that this administration doesn’t like facts or research that isn’t convenient or [is] an impediment to their agenda, so I think moving them away helps accomplish that,” she added.³
This separation of policy and science is outlined in a list compiled by the Union of Concerned Scientists. It includes, among many other items, “EPA refuses to Regulate Rocket Fuel Chemical in Drinking Water,” “White House Demands Rewriting of CDC’s COVID-19 Guidelines for Schools,” and “Trump Administration Disavows Own Meteorologists for Issuing Factual Statement on Hurricane Dorian.”4
The dangerous disrespect the current administration and other representatives show for the wisdom and advice of science have led to Scientific American, for the first time in its one-hundred-seventy-five-year history, to endorse a candidate for office, and its nod went to Joseph Biden. In the October 2020 issue, the editors explain that
Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in its 175-year history. This year we are compelled to do so. We do not do this lightly.
The evidence and the science show that Donald Trump has badly damaged the U.S. and its people—because he rejects evidence and science. The most devastating example is his dishonest and inept response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which cost more than 190,000 Americans their lives by the middle of September. He has also attacked environmental protections, medical care, and the researchers and public science agencies that help this country prepare for its greatest challenges. That is why we urge you to vote for Joe Biden, who is offering fact-based plans to protect our health, our economy and the environment. These and other proposals he has put forth can set the country back on course for a safer, more prosperous and more equitable future.5
Finding out that SA felt it necessary to speak out and take a side feels monumental to me. I appreciate that way that, in normal times, many organizations stay out of politics. But sometimes there is no virtue in silence and neutrality, and we are living in such times.
I’m a humanities person, but I understand the vital role science plays, should play, must be allowed to play in our lives and society. So vote for science, for representatives who respect science and research and who will encourage and support with both words and funding the scientific leaders whose voices must be heard loudly and clearly for our society to survive.
Making health care available to whomever seeks it is not just the right thing to do, it’s the practical thing to do. Our economy depends on the health of everyone who works, depends on our workers being able to continue to work rather than having to stay at home to care for family members. When we make it difficult or impossible for segments of our population to get the care they need, others end up paying for it when these folks have to go the emergency rooms and can’t pay their bills. This cost is passed on to taxpayers; we all pay anyway, but without the benefit of a healthier national community. This is a self-serving argument, I know. Mostly I believe we should provide health care to all because is the moral course of action.
So vote. Vote for increased health care, health insurance, health for us all.

Back in April of this year, the National Geographic magazine for Earth Day was a double-sided issue. One cover bore the title, “How We Lost the Planet”; the flip-side offered “How We Saved the World.” The issue pretty much embodies how I exist these days: in a constant state of flipping between despair and hope.
Today, here in Colorado, the smoke from our own fires mixed with that from California. Early in the afternoon, the air reminded me of growing up in L.A. in the ‘sixties and early ‘seventies. We had “smog days” when we couldn’t go outside, when recess was held indoors and we played “Thumbs Up, Seven Up,” sitting at our desks with our heads down and a thumb up while a classmate would go around and tap a set of kids on the thumb. Once these children were chosen, we would be allowed to pick up our heads while the selected seven tried to guess who had tapped them. It was every bit as exciting as it sounds.
But even on the days when we allowed to play outside, our chests would hurt and sometimes we couldn’t get a full breath. We didn’t think too much about it; that was all we knew. But our parents did and for a while there were effective efforts to mitigate air pollution. The air in L.A.got better, as it did in other cities in America.
Today, my lungs thought they were right back in the L.A. of my youth. Breathing ached; my throat felt scoured; my head ached; my stomach turned sour. And however poor the conditions are here, they are fractionally as awful as California’s.
My husband and I had planned a drive today, just to get out of the house. We made it up high enough to be away from the smoke briefly, but most of the time the cab of the truck was smoke-imbued.
It was difficult to come back down where the smoke blanketed everything like fog, and nothing like fog.
By early afternoon, I was no longer thinking of Los Angeles; I was thinking of Pompeii.
Wildfires are far from the only disasters caused by global warming. Plastic is raining down across the country, including in our delicate, protected preserves; hurricane season is far more dangerous now. The disdain for science so proudly promulgated by politicians and voters will cost us our lovely planet and guess what? There’s not room for all of us on the International Space Station.
In addition, a lot of us are going to be denied the opportunity to be grandparents because of climate change. The next generations are reluctant to bring children into a world that might not be around long enough for their children to live to old age or that will mean they have to live in a wasteland. I don’t have an effective counter-argument for them.
The setting sun and the moon have been orange and lurid for weeks now.
But this evening was the sun was new kind of eerie.
And tonight — tonight the moon is red, a mourning red, an angry crimson.
So vote for our lives, for our home, for our environment, for the continuation of our species, for leaders who will push us to evolve into stewards of the Earth. Vote. Please vote.

In a previous article, we explored the profound impact that Building Information Modeling (BIM) has on the entire project lifecycle, spanning from the initial design phases, to post-occupancy. Now, let’s shift our attention to the latter and delve into the substantial influence that BIM is set to exert on the building maintenance and operations stage.
With the ever-expanding adoption of BIM, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is on the brink of a significant transformation in terms of streamlining and enhancing the building’s maintenance and operations—we should not forget that about 80% of a facility’s value is generated when it’s already operational. BIM’s approach, from inception to execution, is poised to revolutionize the way facilities are currently managed. Let’s look at the key elements at play and discuss them in more detail:
A data-driven approach to decision making
By generating a “digital twin” that not only encompasses a building’s geometric attributes but also incorporates the actual physical properties of materials, BIM offers a robust data source that comprehensively captures the entire lifecycle of its constituent components. Facility managers can leverage this information to make informed decisions regarding any necessary maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. This data-driven approach not only empowers more efficient resource allocation but also opens the door to strategic maintenance planning. With the ability to calculate equipment performance, identify wear and tear patterns, and evaluate the remaining lifespan of components, a structured, predictive maintenance schedule can be meticulously planned and executed, reducing downtime, optimizing resource allocation, and ultimately extending the longevity of building systems.
Smarter facilities drive energy efficiency.
BIM facilitates real-time monitoring of energy consumption and the identification of inefficiencies through its integration with Building Management Systems (BMS) and sensors. Aside from having a digital representation of the physical building and its various components, BIM can incorporate data from sensors, meters, and the building’s infrastructure, such as HVAC systems, lighting, and electrical equipment. This data is continuously fed into the BIM platform and transformed into easy-to-understand visualizations that can be accessed by facility managers to gain insight into real-time energy consumption. This makes it easier for them to detect anomalies or deviations from expected benchmarks, and make timely corrections that allow the facility to get back on track. Remote monitoring capabilities also assist in this process, as the BIM platform can be accessed from any location, which enables a swift response to inefficiencies or unexpected energy spikes.
Improved safety and security through BIM
By serving as a centralized platform where crucial information is accessible to building owners and operators, BIM allows for the integration of safety and security features in a comprehensive manner. This includes emergency response planning, fire safety systems, and security protocols, which contribute to the safety of visitors and employees alike. BIM can incorporate geospatial data, which includes information about the building’s physical location and its proximity to potential safety and security hazards, such as flood zones, seismic activity areas, or high-crime regions. This data aids in risk assessment and emergency planning. BIM’s detailed 3D model of the building (including layout and location of structural elements and critical infrastructure), facilitates safety planning, including the definition of fire escape routes and assessing structural integrity when disaster strikes. In turn, this allows for better planning an emergency response, simulating different scenarios for training first responders.
Minimized downtime keeps users happy
Predictive maintenance practices that make use of BIM reduce equipment downtime, ensuring that the facility provides uninterrupted service to its users. Early issue identification, efficient resource allocation, and streamlined maintenance scheduling configure a proactive approach that allows facility managers to address maintenance and repair tasks before they escalate into major problems, ensuring that the building’s systems and equipment remain operational, with minimal disruptions. This not only enhances user satisfaction but also prolongs the lifespan of critical building components, ultimately reducing operational costs and promoting sustainability.
Efficient space utilization
BIM can provide valuable insights and tools for optimizing the allocation and use of space within a building. Through a detailed, 3D representation of the building that includes the layout of rooms, corridors, and common areas, facility managers can analyze how space is currently utilized and make informed decisions about reconfiguring or repurposing areas to maximize their efficiency. Understanding how spaces are used is crucial for optimizing employee productivity. BIM can create simulations, testing different layouts to determine the most productive arrangements, taking into account factors such as natural light, proximity to amenities, and ergonomic considerations. Efficient space utilization also has implications for energy consumption. Using BIM, facility managers can model how different spaces are heated, cooled, and lit, allowing them to adjust systems to match usage patterns.
Building Information Modeling is shaping the future of building maintenance and operations in remarkable ways. As BIM extends to the post-occupancy phase, the AEC industry takes a step forward on the way to a profound transformation of how buildings are constructed and maintained throughout their lifecycle. With BIM at its core, the building maintenance and operations landscape becomes more efficient, secure, and sustainable than ever before.

KRAKOW, POLAND (July 1, 2018) – Canoe Kayak Canada’s national slalom team finished racing in Poland this weekend competing at the second International Canoe Federation (ICF) World Cup. The event took place in Krakow from Friday, June 29 to Sunday, July 1.
Nine Canadian Slalom National team athletes competed in the canoe and kayak events at this World Cup. Florence Maheu (Québec) was Canada’s best result of the weekend by placing 6th in the Women’s K1 Extreme Slalom event.

Haley Daniels (Alberta) took the lead in the Women’s Canoe event placing 36th while on the Men’s side, Spencer Pomeroy (Ontario) placed 47th.

Our athletes and coaches were unable to put all the sections of a difficult gate set together at the right time. This is what makes the sport a fine balance of power, precision, and finesse. The team will be focused this week and working hard to learn the new top section on the recently modified race course in Augsburg.” said James Cartwright, Canoe Kayak Canada’s High-Performance Manager. “The World Cups are a good preparation for World Championships, so our team will take advantage of all the opportunities leading up to the end of the season.”

Our 4-week turnaround and friendly service means you’ll be enjoying your film before you know it. Avoid the hassle of not knowing who is filming or editing your wedding and have a straight forward connection with your wedding videographer that can respond and deliver promptly! Check my about me page to learn more about what I do.
My wedding video packages include all the unforgettable parts of your wedding – the prep, ceremony, vows, and toasts – but also capture the tiny moments of joy and celebration among family and friends. We don’t want you to miss a moment; that’s why we’re there from your prep all the way through to your last dance, making sure nothing goes unnoticed in the whirlwind of your special day.

Second, we strive to make creative edits that are not found elsewhere in the general wedding video markets. Your film will not only tell your story, but it will be a work of art too. We steer away from point and shoot styles of wedding video because without creativity, what makes us different from our competitors?
Memories to last a lifetime
Imagine being able to relive every detail and feeling of your wedding. Imagine immersing yourself in every tear shed, every radiant smile, in the days, weeks, and years that follow. As time goes by and the colors of memories fade, your wedding video will remain a timeless memento to share and treasure forever.
Our wedding coordinator found Adrian just weeks before our wedding and I am so glad that he did. Planning a wedding can be very stressful however, working with Adrian alleviated any stress that we would have had pertaining to videography. Adrian is professional, attentive, responsive (very quick responses might I add), and provided excellent customer service. Not only did Adrian arrive early to our venue on our special day, but he also worked very well with other vendors. He captured our entire day beautifully and delivered with an exceptional keepsake that we will thankfully have forever.

Which is worse off: Alaska or Alberta?
Both are controlled by liberals (i.e. socialists). Both are dependent on fossil energy — and the pipelines transporting it. Both prize expanding an ever-wanting-more entitlement voter base more than a taxpayer base of wealth-creating energy investors and WORKERS. Liberal leaders of both spend billions more than they can afford. Both have lost thousands of taxpayer workers while keeping tax beneficiaries mostly WHOLE. Both project a better economic day…when the current crop of political ‘leaders’ are safely out of office, enjoying taxpayer funded retirements.
Yes, Democracy is not perfect: the trick is to not let its imperfections, ultimately, kill it in favor of a socialist dictatorship. That presupposes the guardians of our free enterprise democracies and cultures are working harder — and more effectively — to preserve the gift of freedom than the anarchists, special interest activists, socialists, world order manipulators and monied elite who would attack capitalism, while ignoring history’s lessons, and destroy the greatness of their countries.

ADN, JUNEAU — As the Legislature considers taxing Alaskans and reducing their Permanent Fund dividends to help close the state’s $3 billion deficit, is state government still big enough to sustain more budget cuts?

The subject is the one element in the frame we usually have a handle on. It’s the main character, the star of our photo, the reason why we stopped our lives to make the photograph. But what about the rest of the photo? That is where we typically stop in our track and the sweat begins to ooze from our forehead as we try to put the rest of the elements to come together. While we have a star for our photo, we need a stage for it to act on and tell its story. That is in large part our mandate as photographers, connect all these dots to tell a visual story. This was made painfully and thankfully obvious to me when I first started out in my career.
The stage we set in our photo is often the background for our subject. In these photos, I’m at the Chino Airshow a while back and the theme of the show was Lightning Strikes Chino, a play on the name of the P-38 Lightning. In this case, the photos needed to have editorial viability as much as be a pleasant photo. The photo needed to include more than one P-38 to say visually there was a gathering of them without any words needed to state that fact. This means that the star of the photo, a P-38 Lightning, was on a stage with other P-38 Lightnings and all of this needed to be on a backdrop of blah where type for the article could be placed without infringing on the subject of the photo. Phew…that’s a lot for one photo!
Shooting in the overcast skies of SoCal, needed to watch those skies for the first hint of burn off. I wanted the soft light to minimize shadows on the tarmac yet have enough to sparkle off the P-38s. Shooting with the D4 and 80-400 (top photo) which has become a standard with me anymore. I than started to walk the line and first went to the classic “down the nose” shot of all the aircraft. For sure, a cool shot and I’m glad I took it. And while it’s dynamic, it’s not dynamic enough. I looked at the background and while it said many aircraft, it didn’t make the P-38 “standout” as a standout, unique aircraft. The top photo makes it look like just one of the gang. So rather than shooting long, I switched out to the 18-35AFS. Then I moved in closer to the silver P-38 knowing the mind’s eye would grab on to its brightness and slowly moved looking at the neighboring P-38 to include it at what appears to be an angle. By changing lenses and position, I’m totally manipulating the background and so the photo and so the story. And by waiting for the overcast to start to break, I have a sky that is the perfect place for the article title. And that’s the point. The background is what makes the whole photograph work. The subjects were parked, they weren’t going anywhere but the background could be totally manipulated. Think about and look beyond your subject when you compose in the viewfinder and think storytelling and you can vastly improve the impact of your photos!

I feel like this right now.
I haven’t slept well in 4 – 5 days… crazy dreams got me waking up throughout the night and starting the day exhausted. I also have a cold, thank you students.
I was going to just skip writing today. I think it would fine to skip a day here or there, especially when not feeling well but something in me pushed me on to find a picture and start typing so let’s see where this goes. I really have no idea.
I’m tired and not feeling well to the point of it messing with my head. The point where I start feeling like it’s not worth it to keep working hard… Who even cares… Does anyone even appreciate what I do… So what if I gain or lose weight… What I do is not making a difference. Meh. Blah. Ick.
I believe when you need rest to take it. When you’re not feeling well, take care of yourself. You need to stay home from work, by all means do it. But for me, on a Monday, with my class, and the sub plans… nope, not worth it.
So, I guess today, I’m going to focus on all those yucky feelings that sometimes sneak up when you’re physically drained. I don’t actually believe any of those thoughts up there… but when you’re body is sick and tired, it’s harder to stay mentally focused and thankful for all the good we have. And it’s a lot easier to let all the negative self talk slip back in.
We have to fight that. During these times, it becomes even more important to practice self care and positive self talk and affirmations.
I am loved. I am safe (feeling this blah kicks up my anxiety). I am well. I am healthy. I am peaceful. I am capable. I am kind. I am beautiful. I am strong.
Whether I think these things at the moment or not (and truly I don’t when I’m feeling like this), I need to say them and keep them at the forefront of my mind today. I need my mind to overcome my body today. At the very least, I need to try.
I need to give myself grace today and patience. Some self care on my to do for today involves hot tea, emergen-c vitamin packets, listening to a positive audible book on the way to work, leaning on my friends, and an early night tonight – possibly with something to help me sleep!
When you are tired and have a cold, your mind starts telling you things are way worse than they really are. It’s harder to stay positive, it’s more difficult to get yourself going, and it’s much easier to let little things destroy your mood and your day.
So be aware. Notice things today. Notice when your mind starts spiraling and stop it with positive affirmations, good music, a conversation with a friend. When your body starts feeling worse, give it a rest, take some medicine, lay your head down for a few moments if possible.
Be kind to yourself and kind to your body. A lot of energy is going to healing process and fighting that virus or cold, so be loving to yourself. Be grateful for the amazing bodies we have that work so hard for us.
Dip into your self-care toolbox as much as you need to today…. and know that not every day is like today.

Chapters 3 and 4 aimed at nurturing the awareness of, respectively, transport implications in urban planning and quality-of-place implications in transport planning. This chapter looks to both at the same time in order to try and develop an integrated transport and urban planning approach. Of course, many of the approaches and cases discussed in the previous two chapters have already documented a certain degree of integration. However, in this chapter the case for a full-fledged merger between transport (including telecommunications) and urban planning will be made. Cities and transport are one and the same in the daily experience and perception of contemporary urban households and organizations, and planners have to be able to deal with this fact head-on. The key challenge of transport and urban planning integration is providing accessibility conditions for an increasing and dynamic diversity of social and economic activities in cities, while at the same time ensuring that the resulting impacts are sustainable in both the short and the long term. In the following, the urban mobility dilemma discussed in Chapter 1 is used as the point of departure to further define this challenge and explore how it can be addressed. The more normative stance of this chapter relative to others, and the policy directions and urban form implications the chapter suggests, are only possible because of a number of assumptions which will be made explicit along the way.

Poll: Consumers Want Action on Healthcare Costs
Addressing the rising cost of healthcare should be one of the top items on the domestic agenda for the new Congress, according to a national poll from the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.
In the poll, 40% of the consumers identified the combination of healthcare and prescription drug costs as issues that should be priorities for the incoming Congress. Healthcare ranked slightly behind the #1 domestic priorities -- jobs and the economy -- and ahead of Social Security and Medicare (29%).
"It is crystal clear from this poll that the rising cost of healthcare is one of the greatest concerns facing American consumers today," said Blue Cross President Scott P. Serota. "The poll provides an excellent blueprint for not only the new Congress, but for all of us in the healthcare industry as we work together to identify real and meaningful solutions to keep quality health care affordable."
"That future begins with incentives that reward hospitals and doctors for the quality of care they deliver rather than the number of procedures they perform," he said. "Building on quality, we would provide the better information and tools, which means sharing and following best medical practices, and empowering consumers with information to make more informed healthcare decisions for themselves and their families."
Conducted by Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies and Geoffrey Garin of Peter D. Hart Associates, the poll is the first comprehensive survey gauging consumer views on health care since the presidential election on November 2. The poll was conducted with 1,000 consumers on November 4, 6 and 7.
When asked to identify the leading factors behind the rise in healthcare costs, 60% of the consumers said that prescription drugs are the leading factor followed by the cost of hospital care (51%), medical malpractice insurance and lawsuits (48%), and waste, fraud, abuse (44%).
the poll, consumers were asked to select the top healthcare issues
the new Congress should address beginning in January 2005. The top
four areas were:
? assuring access to health coverage for every American (68%);
? making sure people have access to affordable prescription drugs (67%);
? slowing down the steep rise in healthcare costs(63%), and
? reducing costly fraud and abuse in the healthcare system (56%).
Consumers also would like Congress to address issues of the uninsured. They would offer assistance to individuals who cannot afford health insurance on their own, but do not qualify for government support (52%), provide tax credits to small businesses so they can offer health coverage to their employees (51%), and expand federal health insurance programs so that eligible adults and children are actually enrolled (50%).
As to what the health insurance industry can do to reduce health care costs and improve the quality of care, 38% of consumers said they would like to see greater collaboration with doctors to improve access to effective drugs at reasonable prices, 31% said they would like to see partnerships with law enforcement to combat fraud and abuse, and 24% would like to see greater emphasis on care management through work with teams of healthcare professionals.
Doctors Demand Malpractice Relief in 2nd Poll
In a companion poll of 500 doctors conducted by Cooper Research on November 3-4, 71% of physicians identified medical malpractice insurance and lawsuits as the leading factor driving up the cost of healthcare followed by the aging population (42%) and the cost of prescription drugs (42%), and the poor health habits of Americans (37%).
Overwhelmingly, 80% of the physicians believe medical malpractice reform should be the top healthcare priority of the Congress, followed by greater access to healthcare coverage and finding ways for Americans to lead healthier lifestyles (both at 43%).
"These polls show the healthcare challenges we face as a country. However, I am confident that through the collective efforts of the private and public sectors we can keep healthcare affordable by driving consistent quality of care, empowering consumers, increasing access to affordable prescription drugs, and fighting waste, fraud and abuse," said Serota.

A sump pump is an important tool to have inside of your home, as it will work to keep it from flooding. By utilizing water damage restoration services, the sump pump can be checked out. In most cases, it can be easily fixed if it’s broken.
Sump pumps inside your home are designed to get rid of any water that is normally seen inside your basement. The water enters through a funnel system moving in the sump basin. The pump will then move the water far away from the house and into a storm drain in the city.
This is why it’s important to make sure your sump pump is well taken care of. Here are some ways it can break and how to fix it.
1.) Loose Wires
If your sump pump comes to a stop all of a sudden, it could be because the wires are loose. You can prevent this from occurring by checking your wires every so often to make sure they are hooked up properly and functioning well.
To check for loose wires, all you need to do is turn the pump’s power off and disconnect it. Then, you’ll look at the pump to see if any of the wires appear loose. If you see any loose wires, call your plumbing company.
2.) It’s Not Well Maintained
Some sump pump owners assume all they need to do is plug it in and go. They believe the sump pump should be fine to work on its own with little to no troubles caused. This can only happen if you are properly taking care of it to prevent any potential damage. Run your sump pump at least every two to three weeks so it’s regularly used.
Test it by checking to make sure water is being discharged outside. There are times that the sump pump will be working without actually pumping out water. You’ll also want to make sure there aren’t any weird noises coming from the sump pump.
3.) Debris Building Up Inside The Pump
Any excess debris forming inside of the pump can cause it to break. If your sump pump rests on gravel or any loose items on the floor, then it can get sucked inside of the pump. This will cause it to clog.
Try to keep it away from rocks or stones as well so those can’t get trapped inside, or the motor inside of your pump can break. If too much debris forms inside the pump, this can cause it to stop working. Call your plumber for proper sump pump restoration.
Call Your Plumber For Water Damage Restoration Needs
If your sump pump ends up breaking and possibly damaging your home or its floors, give us a call. ABCO Restoration will always be there to help fix your sump pump or to clean the water damage surrounding the pump.

Creative Nugget: The background was made with paper prints from the Beautiful Boho Paper Collection and pieced together following THIS TUTORIAL on Splitcoaststampers. The background was then embossed with the Boho Background Die giving it a quilted look. The pennant was cut with the Pennant Swag Die and the new Pennant Swag Solid Alphabet made it easy to customize the greeting for my card which could be used for many different occasions. The little heart separating the two words was cut using the Clouds & Raindrops Die. The Fancy Fritillary Die was used to cut two butterflies out of Beautiful Boho paper and black card stock which were then layered and adhered to the card.
These are the products from the Our Daily Bread Designs Store used to make this card:

Climate Monitoring from Space
Satellite data play a pivotal role in observing variability and change in the Earth system. Significant progress has been made in observing the Earth globally with higher temporal and spatial resolutions, which before the advent of satellites was all but impossible. With satellite observations of the Earth, we have been able to construct global views of many variables across the atmospheric, oceanic and terrestrial domains, including ozone, cloud cover, precipitation, aerosol optical depth, sea surface topography, fluctuation in polar ice mass, and changes to the land surface. Indeed, with some satellite observations now spanning more than 40 years, this type of information for climate monitoring purposes is now invaluable.
In situ observations play an important role as well. Existing in situ networks provide observations of parameters that are difficult and/or impossible to measure from space. They also serve as validation for satellite observations, can be used in joint analyses with satellite data, and in specific cases (e.g. optical measurements of land and ocean surfaces) provide a means of vicariously calibrating the space-based observations. Therefore, the combination of satellite and ground-based observations is essential. Whilst recognising the importance of integrated observing systems, the initial focus of this website lies with the space-based component used for climate monitoring.
