GE N E R ATIONS – Journal of the American Society on Aging By Linda Koontz Health Information Privacy in a Changing Landscape Healthcare providers need to be part of the solution to consumers’ privacy worries, by building trust through education. A t a time when health information is increasingly available online, and clinicians are transitioning from paper to electronic medical records, consumers remain concerned about protecting this highly sensitive personal information. They fear an unauthorized person might see their health information; they might be denied insurance, credit, or employment opportunities; and they’re worried about identity theft, fraud, discrimination, and embarrassment (Dimitropoulos et al., 2011b). The technology for securely storing and sharing health information continues to evolve to allow increased data sharing and aggregation within the healthcare system. While these changes could provide many benefits by reducing costs and improving quality of care, they also present new privacy challenges. gested practices for healthcare professionals to be able to enhance privacy and build trust with their patients. Health Information Privacy Basics The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) instituted a national legal foundation for health information privacy. The law established broad principles and called for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to issue detailed privacy and security standards if Congress did not do so within a specified time frame. HHS subsequently issued implementing regulations known as the Privacy Rule and the Security Rule. HIPAA and the Privacy Rule do not apply to every entity that maintains health information but to covered entities—health plans that provide health insurance HIPAA and the Privacy Rule do not apply benefits; healthcare providers such as to every entity that maintains health doctors, other healthcare professionals, and, hospitals that conduct elecinformation, but to covered entities. tronic transactions; and, healthcare This article provides an overview of the clearinghouses that format health data. current framework for protecting the privacy The Privacy Rule permits the sharing of of health information; explores technology health information without patient authorization trends that affect health information privacy; (consent) for treatment, payment, and healthcare discusses the current state of privacy protection operations, and for other specified purposes.

Most disclosures are not mandatory, giving providers broad discretion in whether or not to share health information with other entities (U.S. Congress, 1996; The HIPAA Privacy Rule, 2013; Koontz, 2013). The HIPAA Security Rule is designed to ensure that health information is protected from unauthorized access and disclosure, and designates the administrative, technical, and physical controls that covered entities must put in place (U.S. Congress, 1996; The HIPAA Security Rule, 2013). Trends in Technology One of the most important technological trends in healthcare is the movement toward electronic health records (EHR) and health information exchange. Largely fueled by government incentive programs, healthcare providers— including physicians, other healthcare professionals, and hospitals—increasingly are storing patient records electronically. The creation of these digitized records will, in turn, enable Pages 97–104 electronic sharing among providers to show a more complete picture of an individual’s health. This will be of particular benefit to older Americans, who are more likely to see a larger number of providers, and to their caregivers, care team, and family (Dimitropoulos et al., 2011a). The goal is that this information will be shared with researchers more quickly and aggregated, analyzed, and turned into actionable knowledge to improve the overall quality of healthcare in this country. Another benefit of EHR adoption is the ability to empower individuals by using technology to make their health information more accessible to them. Providers increasingly are establishing portals or other means to enable patients to view their health information online, download the information, and transmit it to a third party—a provider, relative, caregiver, or anyone else the patient designates. Having electronic access to this information enhances transparency and allows the individual to review its accuracy Privacy Rights The HIPAA Privacy Rule prescribes privacy rights for individuals, which include the ability to: • Receive a notice describing how the individual’s health information is used and shared by their doctor or their health insurer; • Access or obtain a copy of their medical records; • Request correction of information in their medical record or to add information if something is missing; if the provider believes the contested information is correct, individuals have the right to have their disagreement noted in their file; • Find out the external entities with whom the provider has shared their information, referred to in regulations as an “accounting of disclosures”; • Request that a provider not share information in the medical record with certain people, groups, or companies, although providers do not have to agree to restrict the record, particularly if it affects an individual’s care; and, • Request that their healthcare provider or pharmacy not tell their health insurance company about care received or drugs prescribed if the individual pays for the care or drugs in full; in this case, the provider or pharmacy is required to comply with the individual’s request (The HIPAA Privacy Rule, 2013; Office for Civil Rights [OCR], n.d.[a]). 98 | Spring 2015 • Vol. 39 .

Other trends may benefit older adults in particular, such as remote communications and monitoring systems that can help individuals maintain their independence at home by monitoring vital signs like blood pressure and glucose levels and transmitting data to a physician’s EHR system. Advanced patient monitoring also may that consumers are using to manage health and wellness (ONC, 2014a). The State of Privacy Protection The increasing amount of health information generated that is shared with a host of entities and aggregated also raises concerns about maintaining the privacy of this highly sensitive data. Increased aggregation increases the risk of exposing huge amounts of sensitive information if a breach occurs.

Two federal advisory groups composed of a wide range of healthcare experts from the private sector, including a working group focused on privacy and security policy, also advise the ONC. Privacy is among the guiding principles in the ONC’s Ten-Year Vision report, which emphasizes the importance of public trust, strong safeguards, and transparency regarding the business practices of entities that use patient data, particularly those not covered by HIPAA regulations (ONC, 2014a). The FTC has emphasized over the past year that health information still is highly sensitive and the Commission is concerned about how consumer-generated health data will be protected. FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez recently noted the proliferation of connected products, services, and technologies, including those in the health sector. While recognizing the tremendous potential of these developments, she also warned of the dangers associated with ubiquitous data collection; the potential for unexpected uses of Pages 97–104 consumer data that could have adverse consequences; and, heightened security risks. She suggested that industry adopt “security by design” to build protections into these products and services; engage in data minimization (i.e., collecting and using only that personal information necessary for the purpose); and, increase transparency and provide consumers with notice of privacy practices and choice for unexpected data uses (FTC, 2015). There is some indication the industry is responding. It was recently reported that Apple changed its licensing agreement with developers to prohibit the sharing of information gathered through its health and fitness app (Farr and Bartz, 2014; Pai, 2014). Research shows that individuals support the use of technology to improve the healthcare system but despite government focus on protections, remain concerned about the privacy and security of their health information (Patel, 2014). According to a 2012 nationwide survey, about three-quarters of individuals support EHRs and health information exchange among providers who are treating them. However, consumer support for EHRs and health information exchange is strongest when people believe that Figure 1.

For information about ASA membership visit www.asaging.org/join. Self-Empowered Aging Pages 97–104 their providers have put reasonable privacy and security protections in place. Support for EHRs drops from 87 percent among those who strongly agree that providers have established reasonable protections to 17 percent among those who strongly disagree (Hughes, Patel, and Pritts, 2014). Further, a survey conducted in 2010 indicated that consumers between ages 40 and 64 were most concerned about privacy and security—suggesting that the emerging cohort of older adults, many of whom are technologysavvy, may have stronger convictions about these issues than the current older population (Dimitropoulos et al., 2011b). Suggested Practices for Healthcare Professionals Healthcare professionals, particularly those treating older people, have a critical role in ensuring patient trust. Figure 1 (see page 100) provides a high-level picture of suggested privacy practices for healthcare professionals, culled from government guidance and the author’s knowledge. First, healthcare professionals need to be knowledgeable about privacy and how their organizations protect personal health information. This includes being familiar with their organization’s required written policies and procedures related to protecting patient information. They should also know their organization’s breach-notification procedures and who to contact if they discover a suspected breach. Annual training is required under The HIPAA Privacy Rule. It is also important to refresh this knowledge base by continuing to learn about HIPAA, state laws, and other privacy and security requirements, while realizing that requirements may change over time. (See sidebar on this page for useful privacy resources.) Professionals should review their organization’s Notice of Privacy Practices, which HIPAA requires, and ask questions to clarify organizational practices. What information is being collected? With whom is it shared? For what Privacy Resources ONC: Health Information Privacy, Security, and Your EHR; www.healthit.gov/providers-profes sionals/ehr-privacy-security OCR: Health Information Privacy; www.hhs.gov/ ocr/privacy/index.html Summary of The HIPAA Privacy Rule; www.hhs. gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/sum mary/index.html Summary of The HIPAA Security Rule; www. hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/ srsummary.html Guide to Privacy and Security of Health Information; www.healthit.gov/sites/default/files/ pdf/privacy/privacy-and-security-guide.pdf purpose? It should be noted that not all information is collected directly from patients; for example, medical devices may collect personal health information. The HIPAA Privacy Rule requires that providers appoint a HIPAA Privacy Officer, who can be a resource for better understanding their organization’s practices (OCR, n.d.[d]). Healthcare professionals have a trusted relationship with their patients and caregivers and often are in the best position to communicate with patients about privacy and the use and sharing of health information. These professionals should initiate communication with patients and their caregivers about the privacy and security of health information. This conversation should include the contents of the Notice of Privacy Practices, but also should go beyond that. These notices often are lengthy, written in “legalese,” and may be difficult for patients to understand. HHS sometimes receives complaints from patients saying that they were not provided the required notice or were asked to acknowledge receipt without actually receiving it (Rodriguez and Johnson, 2013).

Healthcare professionals should be prepared with an informed response when patients or caregivers ask for access to patient health information, an amendment to their record, or an accounting of disclosures. Patients should be invited to ask questions and express concerns they might have. All consumer communications should be culturally appropriate, and consider language, communication needs, literacy, and the Leadership by healthcare professionals is key to creating a “privacy culture.” Everyone involved needs to take responsibility for ensuring the privacy and security of health information.

8 Show-Stopping Updates on Cranberry Sauce to Keep You Far Away from the Canned Gel
There are many things in the realm of processed food that puzzle me. How do they make the relentlessly velvety powder on things that are flavor-blasted? Why are there two Pop-Tarts per package when the serving size is only for one (not complaining... just curious)? Who decided that making potato chips that taste like sugar cookies was the right thing to do?
However, there is no mystery quite like the mystery of canned cranberry sauce.
Picture a lovely Thanksgiving spread. You have your crispy herbed turkey, golden stuffing (or dressing), fluffy sweet potatoes, and towers of rolls. Then there’s the cranberry "sauce," towards the center of the table, near the gravy. It’s there every year among the glorious, warm dishes, yet it’s the only thing that isn’t cooked, the only thing that’s shaped exactly like a can, complete with indentions... and the only thing that wiggles when someone sitting at the table laughs too hard. If you stop and think about it, the idea of serving this cran-gel is bizarre (not to mention, archaic). Thanksgiving has evolved--and your turkey day table deserves better.
I am not discriminating; cranberry totally deserves a spot at the feast. But I invite you to forget that shaking a sliceable burgundy gel log out of a can and onto your grandmother's china was ever a part of the prep routine.
Here are 8 delicious ways to do cranberry sauce so that... it actually resembles a sauce. May you live long and never return to the canned gel:
Keep it real with a traditional homemade cranberry sauce. It features cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, flavors that play wonderfully with sweet-tart cranberry.
This so-simple, 3-ingredient cranberry sauce delivers extra dimension by having you simmer the fresh berries apple cider.
This gorgeous option incorporates blueberries and brings a new level sophistication to the familiar "mixed berry" flavor profile.
Sugary dried apricots are a fun, unique way to juxtapose the tartness of cranberries, while sherry adds a rich depth to the sauce.
This one offers an immaculate texture, such an upgrade from gel. Cranberries and grapes tossed in maple syrup for sweetness, roasted, and then tossed in red wine vinegar to play up the tart. Yes, yes, yes.
Again, just 3 ingredients required here. This simple recipe is the perfect tangy and sweet combo.
Brown sugar, vanilla, and little extra time in a blender or food processor turns cranberries into a silky, slightly more indulgent turkey topper. It's super spreadable, too (i.e. perfect for a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich).
This cranberry beauty delivers a dynamic blend of flavors and textures. You will, no doubt, dress your turkey to impress with such a cranberry condiment.

5 Tricks To Speed Up Windows 10 Start Time
With just a couple of easy jobs, you can increase your COMPUTER speed, keep your PC and keep it running smooth as silk. In this short article we show you the tools currently readily available to you to make your computer quicker, keep your computer personal privacy risk-free while online and additionally to keep your computer systems performance.
1. Kill spyware and safeguard your PC from malicious viruses
As lots of people might recognize, spyware grabs your personal info without your knowledge or consent. The info gathered can be quite considerable, it can be individual names and also passwords or vital monetary information that you clearly do not desire in the hands of wrongdoers. Spyware can also bring your computers efficiency to a crawl. To eliminate this ongoing hazard I recommend COMPUTER users to install COMPUTER security scan located at Windows Live OneCare. This is entirely cost-free and can find and also get rid of those pesky infections.
One more totally free and extremely practical application is Security Essentials from Microsoft. This will certainly help in additional protecting your computer from viruses and spyware. This program locates and destroys spyware as well as additionally instantly updates itself to keep you safe from brand-new threats
2. Disk Room
A computer with a lot of hard drive space is commonly a pleased one. Included in Windows is a terrific energy referred to as Disk Cleanup which can be made use of to free up much required hard drive area.
Disk Clean-up can:
Get rid of short-term Internet files
Empty the Recycle Bin.
Get rid of Windows short-lived files.
Erase optional Windows elements that you never ever use
Remove unnecessary installed programs occupying space
3. Make your data quicker
Defragging your hard drive can raise performance at some time significantly. This is since when a drive pieces information is spread out erratically throughout your disk drive. This causes your computer system to take longer to accessibility data considering that it is expanded throughout your disk. Defragging can “sort” points back together and hence enhance rate. Windows consists of a critical utility in boosting computer speed called Disk Defragmenter.
When to Defrag?
Ideally your disk drive must be defragged once a week but that schedule can be tough to preserve so at the minimum I would advise running Disk Defragmenter at least two times a month. It should also be run when:
You have mounted new programs or you have actually lately updated Windows
You have 10 percent or less of offered disk area.
Your computer has recently added a lot of files
4. Find and take care of pesky disk mistakes
The last simple step in boosting your computer rate is making certain there are as little disk errors as possible. This is done by running the Error Monitoring energy located in Windows.
After months or years of usage hard disks can establish poor fields. These can not just reduce drive performance but it can likewise make creating brand-new information to your hard disk drive rather hard or in extreme case absolutely difficult. To discover these bad sectors and data errors run the Error Monitoring energy weekly ideally or at minimal two times a month.

Building up enough power in a proton beam to pull neutrons out of atoms requires a huge amount of energy. To efficiently power the machines, the research facility at ISIS relies on a custom electrical system that uses a resonance circuit to establish the strong magnetic fields needed many times per second. This system, however, is built in-part around rigid technology that was inherited from a previous machine when ISIS was built.
We take a look at the major engineering project to upgrade the power system of a particle accelerator, and see what it takes to keep control of a machine this complex.

Since its inception in 1997, Portland-based company BodyVox has bridged dance with that other movement-based medium, filmmaking. Drawing on three decades of experience with highly physical dance troupes like Pilobolus and MOMIX, co-artistic directors Jamey Hampton and Ashley Roland marry that athleticism with the proscenium-shattering possibilities of movies.
Most of the time, that has entailed escaping the stage via short films. “Integrating film into our performances enables us to show dance in an environment that’s not available in the theater,” says Hampton. “We’ve done dance on heavy machinery, underwater, on rock-climbing cliffs. We like to take the audience on a journeythroughout our shows, and part of that is to get out of the theater that they’re sitting in and see dance somewhere else.”
In “The Cutting Room,” which BodyVox will bring to the Annenberg Center for its Philadelphia premiere this weekend, the company looks to film itself for inspiration as well as escape. The evening-length piece patterns each of its eight dances after a different cinematic genre, all linked by a filmed chase scene. As Hampton’s character is pursued by company member Jonathan Krebs, the company presents scenes based on documentary, romantic comedy, action, Bollywood, sci-fi and other familiar film styles, set to an eclectic score that includes pieces by Mozart, Miles Davis, Ralph Stanley and James Newton Howard.
The various genres give BodyVox leeway to indulge in their particular brand of acrobatic playfulness. The documentary portion sees the 10-person ensemble transform into a giant, undulating vampire squid; the Bollywood segment allows them to dust off opulent costumes originally worn for a wedding in India. Each genre engenders its own distinctive approach to movement.
“Let’s take a chase scene,” Hampton says. “What’s the vibe of a chase scene? A lot of bodies flying around, a lot of big physicality, people hitting the ground. So we do all that while keeping up the theatricality.”
While both dance and film allow real people to move in space and time, Hampton says they are completely different yet complementary mediums. “One’s 2-D and one’s 3-D. You can do things with film that you can’t do with dance, so it’s a wonderful adjunct to our shows to have this element where things happen that just couldn’t happen on stage. People go into a film differently than they go into a live performance because you have an empathy for real humans on stage.”

A single component solves the need to check device status and settings at a glance.
Recently, various devices have begun to be connected via networks, making it possible for devices to interwork with each other even when they are far apart. However, when setting up or checking the status of devices, it is necessary to travel to the site where each device is installed to check its status. This takes time and effort if the devices are located far from each other. As a labor-saving measure, there are cases in which devices are equipped with a display that can be checked at hand (touch panel, LCD, etc.), but achieving a balance between cost and effectiveness is difficult when only simple functionality is required.
OMRON contributes to the realization of simple and easy-to-use products by providing electronic components with integrated displays.

Disston No 7 Crosscut Saw 11ppi 1878-1888 Medallion -- Freshly Sharpened
From Disston's classic era of 1878-1888, this No 7 crosscut saw has a nearly full-depth 26 inch long blade and a solid beech handle. Though somewhat stained, the handle has no cracks or chips. It is as strong as the day it was made 140+ years ago.
The blade is smooth and clean, with excellent tension. An 'X' was found marked on the blade under the handle when it was removed. Some believe that this mark, made by the sawmaker at the factory, indicated that the blade was of extra fine steel or that it received extra tensioning. In any case, it cuts quickly and cleanly, with extra fine 11ppi crosscut teeth that have been freshly sharpened.

Grandfathered: Drake Bell talks Drake & Josh reunion on hit Fox show
'We wanted to get back together so bad,' he tells EW
Early into Grandfathered‘s season 1 run, star Josh Peck told EW he’d love to have his Drake & Josh costar Drake Bell make a guest appearance on the new show. Four months later, he made it happen. The friends and former child stars will reunite on Tuesday night’s episode of Grandfathered, in which Gerald (Peck) will pitch his idea for an app to a wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneur played by Bell.
“It was interesting working with Josh and not being Drake & Josh,” Bell tells EW. “I really enjoyed getting to play with him in a different setting. And we’re adults! We don’t have our bushy hair and talk about high school problems and girlfriends. We’re pitching an app and he’s a father. I think it’s crazy.”
The old pals gathered on set for a day in November, at which point Bell got to meet his replacement — John Stamos. “He’s the older, better-looking Drake,” the 29-year-old California native jokes. And Bell got slightly starstruck meeting Peck’s onscreen mom, played by Paget Brewster. He admits, “I’m a huge fan of Criminal Minds.”
Despite only getting to spend one day filming with Peck, Bell felt like hardly any time had passed since their Nickelodeon days. “It was like we worked together yesterday,” Bell says.
WANT MORE EW? Subscribe now to keep up with the latest in movies, television, and music.
Still, hearing the production assistants call for the pair made him nostalgic. “It was pretty cool being on set and hearing people say ‘Okay, we’re ready for Drake and Josh,’ ” Bell recalls. “I’m like ‘Whoa, I hadn’t heard that for a while.’ “
And the short reunion was nearly nine years in the making. “We’ve remained friends off the show, but we haven’t had that opportunity other than doing a line together or something,” Bell explains. “We wanted to get back together so bad.”
Bell says he’s open to future guest roles on Grandfathered and even getting the entire cast back together for a Drake & Josh reboot; in fact, he’s already begun working with another one of his former costars. “I’m creating a show right now with Jonathan Goldstein who played my dad on the show,” Bell says. While that project remains in its early stages, Bell will appear in a web series titled Dan Is Dead later this year, in addition to touring throughout North America.
But playing shows in Mexico won’t keep Bell from staying in touch with Peck and the rest of his Drake & Josh costars. “We go out to dinners, we hang out, we go to the same holiday parties,” Bell says. “It’s like they’re family.”
Grandfathered airs Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. ET on Fox.

Paint Up Beautifying Naba’a
About PAINT UP
Dihzahyners is the brainchild of co-founders Lana Chukri and Jubran Elias. After establishing a team of talented and bright designers with whom they graduated – the duo brought the team together in 2012 to recreate and rejuvenate broken and gloomy spaces in Beirut through a series of urban and street art initiatives that were later known as “Paint Up!” volumes. Dihzahyners then became a social enterprise and non-profit organization that evolved into a living, breathing entity, with over 160,000 followers worldwide; and countless collaborations with charities, schools, and independent artists across Lebanon.
There comes a time, where you’re standing, high on the fumes of the city, looking out to the horizon, where your blood boils and you want to be those walls. You want to speak, you want a voice, one that the entire city sees as they walk by every day. That’s what we set out to do. We wanted to be able to disrupt the city, in a peaceful and non-invasive way; in a way which brings the communities some clarity, and transforms stairs into the bridges that connect our streets and alleyways. By empowering the urban fabric of our city, through paint, through color; we all become the walls, the stairs, and the streets. We all share in each others smiles, laughter, fears, noise and silence.

11 Struggles Everyone In Dallas – Fort Worth Can Relate To
The struggle is real. Living in Dallas – Fort Worth has its challenges, like our weather, for example. It is as unpredictable as a bull ride at a rodeo. There’s also never-ending construction, unmarked lane endings, and the dreaded “rerouting traffic pattern” to contend with. Even choosing where to eat be can be a battle because there is always a new restaurant to try. Here’s 11 struggles we endure every day, but make us Texas-tough:
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately.

Pictured above is Malang Sarr, Chelsea player, in the official Chelsea kit, taken on Chelsea media day last month. Other than that, we’ve had scant evidence that he’s actually a Chelsea player.
The 21-year-old center back was snapped up on a free transfer earlier this summer — one of the “seven new signings” narrative that is being used to pile the pressure on Lampard — and while there’s been a time that he was very highly regarded, that time is not now. Even Chelsea’s official announcement made it quite clear that he would be heading out on loan. At the time, we figured he’d be going to Bayer Leverkusen as part of the package for Kai Havertz, but that clearly hasn’t happened.
But unless he’s going to stick around, which would be a big surprise consider he’s not once trained with the first-team, we better get a move on in finding him a team. The transfer window closes on Monday.
One potential option could be Sampdoria, who are apparently in the middle of an “ambitious project” of rebuilding with young and promising talent after barely surviving relegation from Serie A last season. L’Equipe report that one of the players they’re thus targeting is Sarr, though there are others on their shortlist as well.
Sampdoria are based in Genoa, which isn’t that far from Sarr’s hometown and previous location, Nice — a very nice 4-hour train ride on the Italian Riviera — and are managed by former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri, so the circumstances could be favorable for a loan indeed.

David Montgomery of Crime Fiction Dossier draws attention to a review of Anatomy of Fear by Jonathan Santlofer: Drawing Out the Thriller Genre – washingtonpost.com. From the review:
But what makes "Anatomy of Fear" distinctive is that Santlofer, a well-known artist before he turned to fiction, has illustrated the book with well over a hundred drawings that add an intriguing new dimension to his story. The pencil sketches, some with touches of blood red, show victims, suspects, crime scenes and clues. Some no larger than a postage stamp, others filling an entire page, these drawings illustrate the novel and become central to it, because both its hero and its villain are themselves artists caught up in a deadly duel.
I’m not sure if the book is quite my cup of tea, but David recommends it, so it might well be worth checking out.

Emirates SkyCargo expands African network
Emirates SkyCargo has boosted its operations on the booming Africa trade routes.
February 15, 2012
Emirates SkyCargo has boosted its operations on the booming Africa trade routes. With the launch of five flights a week to Lusaka and Harare on 1 February, the Middle East carrier’s weekly cargo capacity into and out of the continent will be more than 6,000 tonnes.
The addition of flights to the capitals of Zambia and Zimbabwe comes less than three months after the launch of a dedicated weekly freighter to Accra and Lome, and means Emirates SkyCargo now has a total annual capacity of more than 300,000 tonnes into and out of Africa.
The two new gateways mean Emirates SkyCargo can connect businesses in 22 countries across Africa to its network of more than 100 destinations, while also providing increased opportunities for key trading partners such as China and Japan.
“While many regions are experiencing challenging economic conditions, Africa is one of the few areas to record growth and the long-term outlook is very positive,” said Ram Menen, Emirates’ divisional senior VP Cargo. “We expect demand to be strong for a variety of commodities going into and out of Lusaka and Harare and have no doubt the two destinations will be a strong addition to our African network.”

Soft, thick, fudgy and deeply chocolate-y. Everything you’d hope for in a chocolate cookie!
One of my favorite kinds of cookies are chocolate cookies with chocolate chips. Whenever I go to a bakery or somewhere selling pastries, it’s always my first choice! (Second choice, brownie. Third choice, chocolate cupcake.. You get the picture. #chocolateaddict) The worst thing ever is getting a chocolate cookie that completely lacks chocolate flavor or is dry and crumbly. Yuck! These triple chocolate fudge cookies are neither of those things. What they are is deep, dark, chocolate heaven! I have a few recipes for chocolate cookies here on this blog, and while they are still great, this recipe blows them out of the water by far.
To create this recipe, I took my absolute favorite, favorite, favorite (did I say favorite?) chocolate chip cookie recipe and transformed it into these deeply chocolate-y amazing cookies. I subbed a bit of the flour (I just typed “flower”.. what?) for cocoa, added a bit of sugar to balance the sweetness and swapped out the vanilla pudding for dark chocolate pudding mix. OMG are these delicious! Just look at how deep the color is. Perfection!
Side note: These cookies were SO incredibly hard to photograph. They really do look glossy like that in real life so it was so hard editing them to look good in photos!
These cookies are everything I hoped for. Extremely soft, thick, fudgy and JAM packed with super chocolate flavor! I LOVE giant bakery cookies so these cookies are extra large. Feel free to scale back on the size a bit if you’d like.
If you are a chocolate freak like I am, you need to get your butt in the kitchen and make these as soon as possible!
Triple Chocolate Fudge Cookies
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar or light
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbs granulated sugar
- 3.4 oz box dark chocolate pudding mix I used Hershey's
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbs vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips or any kind you'd like
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine both sugars and melted butter and mix until smooth. Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla and stir until completely combined. Stir in pudding mix. Pour in flour, cocoa baking soda and pinch of salt and stir until just incorporated. Don't over mix. Fold in chocolate chips (I reserve about 2 tbs to press into the tops of dough balls before baking) until evenly distributed.
- You may chill your dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies (chilling is best for hot days). If not chilling, roll dough into 2 rounded tablespoons of dough and place 1 1/2-2 inches apart on baking sheets. If you reserved chocolate chips, press into the tops of cookie dough balls now. Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes. Cookies will be underdone but will set up when they cool and stay very soft. Allow them to cool on baking sheets for 7-10 minutes until able to be handled without breaking apart before transferring to wire racks to finish cooling.
- Triple chocolate fudge cookies will stay soft and fresh for up to 5 days stored in an airtight container.

I was just playing around today, after a week full of &^%$£ I was in no mood to do anything.
Yes, I need to make a gazillion Christmas decorations for my tree, that is going up this weekend. It's going to be a bare tree, with my few crochet Christmas baubles and few felt hearts. But no, I was in no mood to make Christmas decorations. I already finished a hat yesterday (the pretty little baby Triple S hat, I will show you on my blog very soon). So no, in no mood to make another hat from a pattern. All my Simpson's Tapped Out characters were hard at work (another addiction), no work for me there. Kids were in school, dishwasher and washing machine were running, freezing cold outside and I was just staring outside watching the hail, the wind and grey clouds go by. I love winter, but I wanted it freezing cold, no wind and no rain/hail. Not this Dutch weather, where plus 10C feels like minus 10C!!!
So I made myself a nice cup of tea, treated myself to some Browny Bites from M&S and sat down at my desk (now in the living room, where it's nice and warm). Christmas songs playing on the radio (still waiting for "Fairytale in New York" to air, grmbl). I was tinkering with a new stitch for a hat. There are so many pretty afghan stitches just waiting to be turned into hat stitches!! (Let me know if there is a stitch out there, you would love to see worked in the round!) I am peculiar when it comes to hat stitches.
I made my MC with lovely Drops Nepal, a 4mm hook instead of my normal and a dozen DC's. I played around with some color changes, DCtogs and chains and at R4 I was surprised! Not a hat stitch, but a nice start for a Granny just appeared in my hands! I turned the circle into a square and loved it! So I made another one, just to see if the pattern I worked in my head could be repeated. I changed the colors around and yay, another Granny! With the third one, I finally grabbed my camera and laptop and started shooting pictures and writing the pattern down.
So here is the pattern
Drops Nepal in various colors
Hook needle 4mm
Yarn needle to weave in ends
Start with Color A
R1, CH2 in MC, 11DC in MC, SLST to first DC - 12st
R2, CH2, DC in same st, CH1, *DC2tog in next st, CH1* repeat all around - 24st
R3, CH2, DC in same st, DC in next 2st, *2DC in next st, DC in next 2st* repeat all around - 32st
R4, CH2, DC in same st, CH2, 2DC in same st, HDC in next 2st, SC in next 3st, HDC in next 2st, *(2DC, CH2, DC2) in next st, HDC in next 2st, SC in next 3st, HDC in next 2st* repeat 2 more times. join with invisible join -52st
R5, Go back to beginning of R2, fold R2 over and work along the back of R2. SLST on the left side of the DCtog, CH3, *DC to the left side of the next DCtog, CH1* repeat all around, fasten off. - 24st
R6, SLST from the front around DC from R5, CH2, 3DC around R5DC, *4DC around next R5DC* repeat all around, fasten off with invisible join - 48st
Pattern in pictures, I added R4 at the end, but it doesn't really matter when you add R4:

However, as generations went by, the male heirs to the throne became intensely resentful of the prophecy that emasculated their claim to power. Finally Queen Agnalain took the throne and the people of Skala suffered under her erratic and selfish command. Prompted by the people's outcry over this mad queen, her son Prince Erius claimed primogeniture, and seized the throne. Erius's ascent may have pleased the people of Skala, but a faction of the population, one who had not forgotten the prophecy, were worried. Plague, drought and famine spread throughout the kingdom weakening it's defenses and offering easy pickings to Skala's old enemy and neighbor, Plenimar. As people start to recall the Oracle's prophecy, Erius begins to quietly kill of his female relatives who pose the only threat to his monarchy. and Iya has sinister plans for the babes...
As the only living child of Erius's dead sister, Prince Tobin is second in line to the Throne of Skala, but he is not what he seems. To protect him from the paranoid assassinations ordered by his uncle, the wizard Iya gave Tobin the appearance of his murdered twin brother at birth. But now, with the onset of puberty, Tobin has discovered his true identity - SHE the rightful heir to the throne.

This is one of my favorite books (and audiobooks)! I'd gotten rather jaded with too much formulaic fantasy, and found this book (and the rest of the trilogy) very enjoyable! Not what I expected, and the author's description of the story as "gothic fantasy" is very appropriate! The narrator does a terrific job with it as well! You won't be disappointed with this one, but I'll warn you, you'll end up having to get the Bone Doll's Twin and Oracle's Queen, so you might as well just buy them all and listen to them in order!
I'm the managing editor of the Fantasy Literature blog. Life's too short to read bad books!
Originally posted at FanLit.
Hidden Warrior is the second installment in Lynn Flewelling’s TAMIR TRIAD about Tobin, the rightful heir to the throne of Skala who is being magically hidden as a girl until it’s time for her to challenge the king. As this book begins, Tobin has just discovered the horrifying truth about himself, but he must still stay hidden until it’s time for the big reveal. He’s now living at the castle as a Companion to the prince. He’s nervous about the future because he genuinely likes his cousin, the presumed heir, and he is treated well by his uncle, though he occasionally sees glimpses of the king’s unpredictable bad temper and sees how he mistreats the wizards and others who speak against him or mention the prophecy about a hidden queen.
As Tobin nears puberty, he still thinks of himself as a boy, but his gender identity confusion begins to increase. He is noticeably smaller than the other boys, lacks facial hair, enjoys making jewelry, and has no interest in girls. Even though he excels at fighting and battle tactics, he’s also sensitive and squeamish about the king’s harsh punishment of “traitors.” Worst of all, he’s falling in love with his squire, Ki, who has no idea that Tobin is really a girl. Though the gender identity issue is the big theme in the TAMIR TRIAD, it’s handled gently, without any sort of preachiness.
Tobin has plenty of other things to worry about, too, such as Brother, who is becoming less controllable, the malicious man who acts as his guardian, and the scheming duke who is steward over his lands. There are other plots he doesn’t even know about yet, but that will surely affect him in the future. Meanwhile, the country begins to suffer from plague and there are murmurs about the prophesied queen who will set things right. The king and the prince show their cruel sides more often as their popularity wanes, and Tobin’s magical allies have had to go into hiding.
Flewelling’s story continues to entertain me, mostly because her world and characters are so well developed and I’ve come to sincerely care about Tobin’s plight. The simple plot isn’t quite hefty enough to carry three books, so this installment’s pace lags at times, sometimes feeling a little like the infamous “middle book.” There’s also a lot of angst that doesn’t quite feel gratuitous, but does fill a lot of page space. In general, though, I feel very forgiving about the pace because I like the story, though I think it helps that I read Hidden Warrior while leisurely working on a jigsaw puzzle during the couple of lazy days after Christmas.
Just like the previous book, The Bone Doll’s Twin, this one ends on an exciting cliffhanger. You’ll definitely want to have the third book, The Oracle’s Queen, ready to go. I’ve been listening to Victor Bevine narrate the audio version, which is very good.
book 2,read my update on 1,book 2,was just as good, I loved it,on to 3 I cant wait,so far this tale has been my favorite, in maybe the last 100 books a must listen...
Most middle books are kinda boring, not this one! This is one of the best series I've ever listened to or read! This is a MUST!
I like Jack Reacher style characters regardless of setting. Put them in outer space, in modern America, in a military setting, on an alien planet... no worries. Book has non moralistic vigilante-justice? Sign me up! (oh, I read urban fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi, trashy vampire and zombie novels too)
The book is 17+ hours. In the middle there are 4+ hours of Tobin growing up with the Companions. I prefer there to be some plot/point involved if I have to go through listening to it for hours. There is not. I suppose it's to give us a better idea of Tobin's life, but I don't know why we care since that's not really his life anyway, is it.
If one could skim, this book would be so much better since we wouldn't get as bogged down in the minutia. Because the storyline itself is compelling and quite interesting - you'll want to know what happens with everyone and find out if Nerrin gets what's coming to him, etc...
I just don't know if you want to know about (for example) Arkoniel's sex life along the way.
Anyway, the story is interesting enough that I'll read the next book to find out how it all wraps up and cross my fingers that Flewelling can tell the story without adding in the details of every character's life in the process.
Oh, and I agree that the characters should have been a little bit older if they're going to be drinking themselves into a stupor, frequenting brothels or going out onto a killing field (sorry, a 14 year old is not "man grown" and would have his ass handed to him by some 200 pound fighter).
This is perfectly fine as filler material, when your between books. The first book was really great for some fresh new ideas and concepts and this second book did bring closure to some interesting plot lines and opens up a few cliche plot lines that I don't really care to pursue. The inner conflicts of the transgender ruler have been cast away, and the ghost portion of the story has become stale to my brain. The characters were never super believable meaning good guys are clearly good and nearly perfect, while the bad guys are clearly evil and have almost no questionable good traits.
Interesting, developed characters. Gripping story.Can't wait until the last installment.
I love Leil. she is so confident in her powers and her place without being arrogant or inaccessible.
I listened to their first book and they are just as good this time around
There are several times in this book that I have laughed out loud and received strange looks from those around me.
Author is decent, story has possibility (really a fantasy goth read?) ...but, unfortunately the tale waivers a tad as the author attempts to pull it off. Hmmmm. Still. It IS an unusual angle. Fingers crossed, expectations not too high.
I need more ears!
Too bad the author has no sense of humor or any moral boundaries. A big part of the story is the moment when the main character finds out that he is a she. Unfortunately, "he" continues to be a boy in every sense except the physical. "He" also develops a passionate love for his best friend and can't understand why the boy doesn't love "him" back. This was handled so badly that it just rings wrong. These are 15 year old boys struggling with sexual identity, yet this "boy" can only whine about the fact that his friend doesn't find " him" attractive. Flewelling (in her intro) says this is a story about gender rolls, yet clearly she has no idea how a real person would feel about discovering they are a different sex than the one they had always assumed. It's the main concept of the story, and it's very badly handled. It doesn't get resolved in a very satisfying way, either. The characters continue to be children throughout the series and it's kind of sickening. Can you tell I hated it?

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Mazda is recalling about 52,000 Mazda6 sedans in the U.S., because yellow sac spiders like to build their nests in part of the fuel system.
"A certain type of spider may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction of the line," Mazda said in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The evaporative canister vent line runs from a charcoal-filled canister that cleans air coming out of the gas tank. Blockage of the line can prevent air from getting into the gas tank as the gasoline is used, resulting in negative air pressure inside the tank. That can lead to a crack in the gas tank and the possibility of a fire.
There have been 20 reported cases of spider infestation in the Mazda6 -- all have been in cars with 4-cylinder engines, none with V6's. No actual fires are known to have been caused by the spiders, according to Mazda's letter.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair the fuel system in the cars. A spring will also be installed to prevent spider intrusion, according to the letter.
Letters will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles beginning at the end of this month.
It's unclear why this particular spider -- the yellow sac spider -- seems to prefer the model year 2009 and 2010 Mazda6, company spokesman Jeremy Barnes said. All modern cars have the same type of equipment.

Should I Go For A Run
July 22, 2012 1 Comment
Should I Do This? Should I Go For A Run?
Should I Go For A Run? That was the thought going through my mind on February 1st, 2012. It was unseasonably warm for the Ohio Valley and I just had this strong desire to go for a run. The problem was that I haven’t actually gone for a run in 990 days. My last run was in May, 2009. My running season cut short due to a running injury that i couldn’t work through. My plan was to start fresh in 2010 and slowly work up to 10 miles. Obviously, the cancer diagnosis wiped out those plans and my running goals were no longer a priority.
But that chapter in my life was over and two years, eight months and fifteen days have passed me by and now I was entertaining thoughts of running again. Could I do it? Am I going to go one block and be so winded that I will have to stop, turn around and walk back home? Could I do at least a half a mile? How long would it take me? During my recovery, I told the doctor and nurses that I was going to wait until I reached 150 pounds before I started doing any exercising. I reached that weight in October, 2011. As promised, I started doing some light exercises with five pound free weights and started doing some aerobic work as well. For five months I was slowly building up my cardio in hopes of being able to run. The fear of failure was there, but the possibility of a small victory outweighed the fears. Yes, was the answer! Should I Go For A Run?
Should I Go For A Run? All Signs Say Go!
Whenever I ask myself, Should I Go For A Run, the weather is always a contributing factor to the answer. No, it is too cold. No, it is raining. I am not a cold weather runner and perfect running conditions for me is seventy degrees and low humidity. On this warm February day, 50 degrees was all I needed. I told my wife that I was thinking about going for a run. She didn’t want me to go and she told me that I shouldn’t over do it. I promised her I wouldn’t and I went and stretched out. I grabbed my running shoes and my stop watch and headed out to the alley. Am I really ready for this? Have I done enough cardio work to make it to the bottom of the alley? I hope so! I said a short prayer, remembered what my wife said (don’t over do it), hit the start button on my stop watch and headed down the alley. After I made it to the bottom of the alley, I realized that I wasn’t winded so I continued on. At about three tenths of a mile, all kinds of signals were bombarding my brain. My legs felt a little tight. My left shin was feeling like a shin splint was coming on and I definitely didn’t want shin splints. I started breathing a little heavier thanks to that ever so slight incline I just went up. I pressed on. Could I possibly make it a half mile? I think I can. I kept going and made it to the half mile point and I was feeling pretty good. I felt like I was loosening up and the shin was hurting so I kept on running. After I made it seven tenths of a mile, I knew I wasn’t going to stop now. I was pretty confident that I was going to be able to make it. My breathing was getting a little heavier down the stretch, but I saw my mile marker. That stop sign on River Avenue was now in sight and I was going to make it there. I realized that the adrenaline kicked in and I was focused on that stop sign. One more block and my task will be complete. I reached the stop sign and hit my stop watch. I looked at my time, Nine Minutes and Fifty One Seconds, and I was excited. Not only did I make it to the mile marker, but i made it there under the ten minute mark. I was a little winded as I started walking back to the house. I realized that I probably could have gone farther, but I did promise my wife that I wouldn’t over do it. It was a great day to ask, Should I Go For A Run?
Where Do I Go From Here? Should I Go For A Run?
So many thoughts were going through my mind during the walk back home. First of all, I felt pretty good. There were no pains in my muscles or shins. I didn’t collapse to the ground gasping for air. I was excited that I wasn’t going to have to walk through the door and look at my wife and say, “I Think I May Have Over Done It!” I was excited that it was warm enough in February to go for a run. The thought that was at the top of the list was how thankful to God I was that I was even capable of running. I was thankful that I was even breathing. It was just a year prior that I was going through Round Two of my cancer treatments. Round Two is what I would call a good old fashion butt whoopin’. It put a hurting on me. So, as I was walking back home, I truly was thankful to God for even giving me the opportunity to even ask the question Should I Go For A Run.
So where do I go from here? My 2012 running season started on a high note. I know I need to pace myself. I have set some goals and would even like to do a 5K. Is it possible? What do you think? Should I Go For A Run?

As health practitioners, we know about burnout. We share social media posts and treat clients with this. But how vigilant are we when it comes to noticing the warning signs in ourselves?
Early in my career I was fortunate to spend time with a group of experienced naturopaths. Too often I noticed burnout hit, especially around the eight – ten years in practice mark. Sadly this sometimes resulted in exceptional practitioners leaving the profession, despite their business success.
Not wanting to crash and burn, I implemented some prevention strategies right from the start. The first step is awareness. After mentoring practitioners for decades, I have many stories from the frontline that may save you from this fate.
The brownout zone
The stage before full-blown burnout emerges is often referred to as ‘brownout’.
It’s characterised by a gradual loss of motivation, purpose, and engagement around work. In health practitioners and small business owners, it might creep in as stagnation, when your career has taken off and now plateaued.
This phase can be when the shine fades away. Beyond the honeymoon stage, you might begin to fall out of love with your work and feel less excited or optimistic starting a new day in the clinic. Experienced practitioners sometimes feel like they’re coasting, with no significant challenges. The specialist area they previously thrived in, feels humdrum and even boring.
For some, the client contact is still enjoyable but the admin and behind the scenes work is time consuming and uninteresting. You might feel indispensable, but don’t know how or can’t afford to outsource certain chores.
Does this sound familiar? Brownout doesn’t have to cause burnout. If you listen to what’s niggling you and make the necessary changes or get help, burnout can be avoided.
The niggles didn’t go away. You ignored them or couldn’t work out how to solve the issues effectively on your own.
When burnout hits, it can be a combination of:
- exhaustion: everything work-related feels like an effort
- inefficiency: the dreaded to-do list keeps growing and you feel like you’re running but getting nowhere fast
- negativity or cynicism: this could manifest towards the profession/industry or feeling less invested in your clients.
Practitioners experiencing burnout have told me:
“I don’t relate to the profession anymore.”
“My (specialty) clients are heavy going and I dread it when a new one books in.”
“I’ve got no more to give.”
“I can’t deal with all the admin anymore.”
“I’m spending more time running my business than seeing clients.”
“I often don’t sleep well the night before clinic”.
“I want to leave but can’t afford to, I can’t sell my business for anything near what it’s worth.”
Burnout differential diagnoses
Physician heal thyself! Before self-diagnosing burnout, check in with your own mental or physical health.
According to the official World Health Organisation criteria, burnout is specifically work related.
“A syndrome conceptualised as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.
- Is there stress in your personal life that needs addressing?
- When did you last have a real holiday and not check in with work?
- Revisit your boundaries, work only in your designated clinic hours, turn off email/phone notifications outside work.
- Are you “quiet quitting”?
Burnout is usually characterised by feeling comparatively ok outside of work and still having zest for other things in life. If you’re constantly exhausted or jaded, please see your trusted health professional for a check-up.
Burnout prevention strategies that work
Every year I plan breaks — from some long weekends to extended holidays. Initially, to minimise the impact on business and income, I look at the periods that are always quiet or particularly busy and plan around them.
When there have been signs of brownout, I’ve made changes. Sometimes this led to pulling back my work hours or instigating wait lists for new clients. At the 20 year in practice mark I worked with a business coach for a total overhaul in my way of operating.
As health professionals we know, more than most, the importance of regular exercise, eating well, mindfulness, fun and counselling. Remember this needs to be at the forefront of selfcare.
Annual reviews and audits
Since my early years of business, I’ve taken time out at the beginning and/or end of the year to review how I felt about work, including what inspired me and the rub points. I create strategies and accountability around pursuing the things that light me up and ways to reduce the friction.
This is part of a larger self-auditing process. If you’d like to know more, let’s explore this in a mentoring session.
The struggle is real. You’ve tried to make changes to your practice but they haven’t worked or you just ran out of steam. It’s not too late to work with a trusted mentor to find a solution.
If not identified and acted on early enough, the final stage of burnout is often messy. Practitioners simply walk away. They wake up one day, say “that’s it” and figuratively burn their business down. Closing shop abruptly or dropping your bundle on clients or colleagues is the end point of untreated burnout. In a career that you’ve previously loved, this is devastating and can leave you traumatised
It’s distressing to witness gifted practitioners close their business without an exit strategy, after years of hard work. Often this can be avoided.
That’s not to say a well-considered decision to close a practice has to be like this. I’ve worked with business owners to create exit strategies that makes them feel proud of what they’ve achieved and optimistic about the next stage of their life or career.
Need help? Book an exploratory mentoring session. This short video explains how I mentor a little differently.
