Pride parades also known as pride marches , pride events , and pride festivals are outdoor events celebrating lesbian , gay , bisexual , transgender , non-binary and queer LGBTQ social and self acceptance, achievements, legal rights , and pride. The events also at times serve as demonstrations for legal rights such as same-sex marriage. The events became annual and grew internationally. In , New York and the world celebrated the largest international Pride celebration in history: Stonewall 50 - WorldPride NYC , produced by Heritage of Pride commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots , with five million attending in Manhattan alone. In , the gay rights protest movement was visible at the Annual Reminder pickets, organized by members of the lesbian group Daughters of Bilitis , and the gay men's group Mattachine Society. Mattachine members were also involved in demonstrations in support of homosexuals imprisoned in Cuban labor camps.
Why we have LGBTQ Pride and not 'Straight Pride'
No gay pride this weekend
A gay couple kiss at the Pride parade in London, England, on July 6, This year marks the The riots are often seen as the moment that set in motion the modern gay rights movement, in the US and beyond. Two very different groups of men are at war on the internet today: the far-right cadre known as the Proud Boys—and the thousands of gay Twitter users who flooded that platform with pro-LGBT images, marking those posts with proudboys. The hashtag trended in North America throughout Sunday with gay Twitter users sharing images of themselves, their spouses and other gay people. It received nearly 75, likes. The official Twitter account of the Canadian Armed Forces in the United States took part, too, tweeting a picture of two men kissing with proudboys.

Gay pride or LGBT pride is the promotion of the self-affirmation , dignity, equality, and increased visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender LGBT people as a social group. Pride, as opposed to shame and social stigma , is the predominant outlook that bolsters most LGBT rights movements. Ranging from solemn to carnivalesque, pride events are typically held during LGBT Pride Month or some other period that commemorates a turning point in a country's LGBT history , for example Moscow Pride in May for the anniversary of Russia's decriminalization of homosexuality. Some pride events include LGBT pride parades and marches , rallies, commemorations, community days, dance parties, and festivals. Additional commemorative arts, cultural, and educational programming to mark the 50th anniversary of the rebellion at the Stonewall Inn took place throughout the city and the world.

Sutton mum's touching blog on life with toddler with Down's syndrome picks up national award
A devoted Sutton mum who has blogged about the ups and downs of raising a child with Down’s syndrome has picked up a national award.
Kerry-Ann Bellamy, who writes Our Life Loving Lucas on Facebook, about her family’s life with her youngest son Lucas, was honoured at the Bloody Awesome Parents awards.
The awards, founded by Bringing Us Together and My Family Our Needs organisations, celebrate people blogging about special educational needs and disability.
Kerry-Ann, aged 31, was honoured for the ‘huge impact’ she has had on the Down’s syndrome community and her ‘amazing work’ raising awareness.
She started her blog following the birth of Lucas, now aged 19 monthsd. It describes the ups and downs of life with Lucas and her family which includes eight-year-old daughter Robyn, son Harry, five, and husband Scott, 34.
Kerry-Ann, who lives on Kirkby Road, said "We didn’t know Lucas had it, we only found out later when he was born in the middle of lockdown.
“There’d been nothing picked up on scans, so it was quite difficult at the time. You go through a grieving process, you don’t expect that.
“The point of the blog was to showcase our family life with Lucas. I wanted people to see the good and the bad. It isn’t easy sometimes it can be really hard, I think it’s important to share that.
“It can also be amazing, most days are brilliant and Lucas is a loving and very happy child who brings lots of joy to our family. Sharing the whole experience has been so therapeutic for me and hopefully help others.”
Lucas is also an ambassador for Down’s syndrome through the Making Chromosomes Count organisation.
Kerry-Ann said: “Because of Lucas we’re part of a whole other community, we’ve made many friends and have so much positivity and support around us.
“The Nottingham Down Syndrome Support Group, where Lucas meets other babies and I meet other mums, is brilliant.”
Kerry-Ann received her award from Gavin & Stacey star Mathew Horne.
She said: “He interviewed me and I was a bit embarrassed, but it was a thrill to get the award, and an amazing night.”
Mathew said: “It’s fantastic to celebrate those parents and organisations who share their stories and experiences to help others in similar situations.”

There are so many ways in which you could play around with the concept. Another idea struck me the other day while I was reading Gnomeaggedon’s post Post Curator Black Hole, where he wrote about the terribly annoying habit some pugging players have to suddenly disconnect right after the Curator fight, if they didn’t get the drops they wished for. Do you think those guys would behave in the same way if it was somehow recorded in a Bad Achievements Window? After doing the same thing 10 times you’ll be Apprentice dc:er. The 50th time you’ll advance to Expert.
In this Bad Achievments List you could also see titels such as: Master of guild theft (demands that you clear the guild bank, gquit, leave the server and change name on your toon, all of it within 12 hours).
Of course there will be a number of Ninja achievements available, from grabbing nodes right in front of other players to misusing the masterloot option in a pug, or to openly robbing other players, pretending to be a crafter and then steal the mats.
On a second thought, of course, I realize we won’t see it. After all, we all make stupid things every now and then and it would be rather awful if there was no way to put those things behind us, if they would chase us to the end of the game.
It also gives me a bad taste in my mouth; it would make me feel supervised. Which I guess I am already in one way or another, but I don’t want it pointed out to me.
But the major problem is there are quite a few players out there who probably wouldn’t mind at all having their bad deeds appearing in such a window – they’d see it as a sport to complete as many behave-as-a-badass quests as possible. It’s the sad truth.
So I guess we’ll have to stick to the traditional way of keeping record of stupid players who behave badly: remember their names and put them on ignore.

Poetry for Kids
Poetry for kids is all about rhythm. It's music without the notes. Poetry helps people – including children – get in touch with their feelings.
Like most adults, I was introduced to poetry in the form of nursery rhymes as a young child. And like most children, I took poetry for granted. Some poems were fun to read or listen to, but it wasn’t long before I graduated from Mother Goose to fairy tales and chapter books. I still enjoyed limericks and other funny poems, but was never really passionate about it.
Until 1996, when I took a class in children’s literature. The chapter on poetry for kids woke me up to the power that this medium has in the life of a child. If a child becomes passionate about poetry, it can enrich his or her life in many ways.
Rumer Godden, a British author who wrote over 20 books for children between 1947 and 1996, once said that giving a child a love of poetry is the same as giving that child the ability to enjoy life.
Favorite Types of Poetry for Kids
Studies have shown that kids enjoy humorous and nonsensical poems, including limericks. They also enjoy alliteration and onomatopoeia. That’s why tongue-twisters and knock-knock jokes are so popular.
Rhythm, rhyme, repetition, imagery and shape are all elements of favorite poems. Lullabies are classic examples of this.
Metaphors and similes – words that compare things very different from each other – are often used to help create images that can open up new ways of thinking in children. Judith Thurman’s poem “Spill” compares a flock of birds to loose change.
the wind scatters
a flock of sparrows –
a handful of small change
from the cloud’s pocket
– Judith Thurman
Flashlight and Other Poems
Shape plays a part in poetry when words are divided, lines spread out, and letters enlarged or reduced to create visual effects. A good example of this is Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, sometimes known as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, where a mouse’s “tale” takes the shape of a mouse’s “tail” due to fancy typography (Chapter 3 – “A Caucus Race and a Long Tale”).
Get Kids Involved with Poetry
The easiest way to start involving children with poetry is to read it to them. If a child isn’t interested in the first poem you read to him or her, try another one. Don’t just give up.
One of the most popular books of poetry for kids is Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. Jim Trelease, author of The Read-Aloud Handbook, says teachers and librarians report that this book is stolen from libraries more often than any others.
The next step in getting kids involved with poetry is to teach them how to WRITE it. And the best way to do that is to work with them throughout the writing process. Listed below are some suggested steps for teaching the writing of poetry:
- Find inspiration through everyday activities or new experiences.
- Brainstorm ideas with others.
- Write out the poem, revising if necessary with the help of a teacher or peer group.
- Share the poem with a group.
- Expand the poem into a choral reading, drama, or other art form.
A great online resource for aspiring poets (and those who teach them) is Poetry 4 Kids, described as “Ken Nesbitt’s Poetry Playground.” Ken Nesbitt has been writing funny poems for kids since 1994, when he published his first poem, “Scrawny Tawny Skinner.” Four years later, he published his first book of poetry, My Foot Fell Asleep.

Following is a list of some poets who rank high on the list of popularity with children, along with the titles of some of their books:

November is National Family Caregivers Month and American Diabetes Month.
For insurers selling health insurance, long-term care insurance, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare supplement insurance and even life insurance, American Diabetes Month might be the most important of the three, because, in theory, it’s the awareness campaign that could cut claims costs.
Diabetes can refer to a variety of disorders that cause the body to increase urine production, but it typically refers to conditions in which a lack of insulin, or a lack of the ability to make proper use of insulin, leads to a high level of sugar in the blood.
The American Diabetes Association estimates that diabetes cost the United States a total of $245 billion in direct financial costs and lost productivity in 2012 alone. People with diabetes averaged about $7,900 in diabetes-related spending that year.
Peter J. Cunningham and Emily Carrier have estimated in a report distributed by the Commonwealth Fund that people with diabetes spent an average of about $1,400 on diabetes-related out-of-pocket costs over the period from 2007 to 2009.
If scientists could come up with a way to prevent or cure Type 1 diabetes — a terrible, potentially deadly autoimmune disorder — and Type 2 diabetes — a more common disorder that generally appears later in life, they could make people’s lives more convenient, slash the likelihood that people will go blind or lose limbs, reduce health care costs, and increase people’s life expectancy.
For now, the health care system relies heavily on people with diabetes to go through a complicated, time-consuming regiment of controlling their diets, testing their own blood sugar levels, taking insulin and other drugs, and seeing a physician at least once every three months.
Type 2 diabetes has starring role in the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) forms that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) now requires all major medical plans to provide. When the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) developed the SBCs, it decided that all plans should include scenarios indicating what patient out-of-pocket costs might be if the patient used the plan to cover a typical pregnancy or Type 2 diabetes.
When HHS created the SBC Type 2 diabetes scenario, it assumed that the typical patient would get annual eye and foot exams and preventive care vaccines as well as quarterly visits with a primary care doctor and monthly refills of medications, syringes and blood sugar testing supplies.
We used the SBCs to shed some light on how typical plans have been covering Type 2 diabetes in 2014. We collected the diabetes scenario information from the first 10 bronze plan SBCs that came up in a Google search.

Times are tough for the Columbus Blue Jackets right now.
After losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday evening the Blue Jackets are now just 4-9-2 in their past 15 games and have fallen out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, sitting one point back of the New York Islanders entering play on Monday.
Now the team has announced that captain Nick Foligno will be sidelined for the next one-two weeks due to a lower body injury that he suffered in Sunday’s 5-2 loss to the Penguins.
Foligno, 30, is having a down year with just 13 goals and 13 assists in 59 games but he is still one of the Blue Jackets’ top forwards, and for a team that is struggling to score goals they really can not afford to lose anybody. Especially given the schedule they have coming up.
Over the next two weeks the Blue Jackets have games against the New Jersey Devils, Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks, Washington Capitals, Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks.
That is a tough stretch that could end up making or breaking their season.
This weekly column will aim to help you navigate through the rough waters of your fantasy league’s waiver wire. We’ll recommend players you should think of adding that are owned in 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and we’ll also make recommendations on players you should think of dropping.
Here we go:
Clayton Keller– C/LW/RW- Arizona Coyotes (44 percent)
After a terrific start to his rookie season, Keller’s play dropped off. He wasn’t putting up as many points and he wasn’t making as many headlines as he was in October and November. But it looks like now might be the right time to pick up in your fantasy leagues. He has eight points in his last six games, including a four-point night against Montreal last week.
Anthony Mantha– LW/RW- Detroit Red Wings (39 percent)
Mantha was owned in a lot more leagues earlier this season, but his production dropped off quite a bit. He appears to be back on now, as he’s picked up six points in his last six games. He’s versatile enough because he’s eligible to play both wing positions in Yahoo leagues. The Red Wings forward should be added in deeper leagues.
Nico Hischier– C- New Jersey Devils (30 percent)
Hischier and Taylor Hall have formed a remarkable duo over the last little while. After hitting a bit of a wall near the midway point of the season, the first overall pick from last June’s draft has managed to pick up the offensive part of his game. He’s now found the back of the net in four straight games and he’s riding a five-game point streak.
Derick Brassard– C- Ottawa Senators (25 percent)
It sure seems like trade winds have given Brassard an added boost of motivation. The Sens forward has racked up six points in his last four games and he’s coming off a three-point performance against the Rangers on Saturday afternoon.
Ondrej Kase– LW/RW- Anaheim Ducks (11 percent)
Kase isn’t a big name, but he’s been lighting it up for Anaheim lately. The 22-year-old has nine points in his last seven games. He’s on pace to hit the 25-goal mark in 2017-18. He could be an intriguing add in deeper fantasy leagues.
Milan Lucic– LW- Edmonton Oilers (59 percent)
If your league doesn’t award points for penalty minutes, there’s absolutely no reason for Lucic to be on your roster. He hasn’t picked up a point in any of his last 11 games and he hasn’t scored in 22. And in his last 12 contests, he’s also managed to accumulate just four penalty minutes. Lucic needs to be dropped ASAP.
Ryan Kesler– C- Anaheim Ducks (47 percent)
The 2017-18 season hasn’t been kind to Kesler. He missed over two months of action because of a hip injury and he just hasn’t looked like himself since returning. The Ducks forward missed the last game because of a lower-body issue. It’s time to cut ties with him and add one of the other players mentioned above.
Robin Lehner– G- Buffalo Sabres (51 percent)
Not only are the Sabres struggling, but Lehner is now day-to-day with an injury. Don’t expect Buffalo to win many games down the stretch, so picking up someone like Petr Mrazek, who might get traded before the deadline, could be a worthwhile gamble.
GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — It’s part of the routine now, as much a staple of the Winter Games as the medal ceremonies, the doping scandals or the sequins on the figure skating costumes.
The United States playing Canada for the Olympic women’s hockey gold medal.
Jennifer Wakefield scored twice and Shannon Szabados stopped 14 shots on Monday night to lead the Canadians to a 5-0 victory over Russia and earn the four-time defending Olympic champions a spot in another gold medal game.
It will be the fifth time in six Winter Games since women’s hockey was added to the program that the North American neighbors have met in the final. No one else has ever skated away with an Olympic gold medal.
Canada outshot Russia 47-14 but struggled to pull away, scoring just once in each of the first two periods before Wakefield bounced one in off goalie Valeria Tarakanova’s right arm just two minutes into the third and then Emily Clark made it 4-0 just 31 seconds later.
Russian coach Alexei Chistyakov swapped his goalies, but it was too late. The Russians still have a chance for their first Olympic women’s hockey medal ever when they play Finland in the bronze medal match on Wednesday.
Marie Philip-Poulin and Rebecca Johnston also scored for Canada, which has won 24 in a row at the Olympics since losing the gold medal game in Nagano in 1998.
The United States advanced to the gold medal game with a 5-0 victory over Finland earlier Monday.
The Americans won the Four Nations Cup, third only to the Olympics and world championships in importance, beating Canada in three of the first four games in a Pyeongchang tuneup tour. But Canada has won the last four, with a 2-1 victory in the pool play finale on Thursday.
None of it matters, really.
The gold medal match is the game these two have been looking forward to since Canada rallied from a two-goal deficit and beat the Americans in overtime in Sochi four years ago.
And it’s the only thing right now that can help the 10 American holdovers from that team ease the pain of their 2014 collapse.

The kidneys play a central role in arterial pressure regulation through mechanisms related to sodium and water excretion. It has long been observed that acute increases in arterial pressure cause increased sodium and water excretion. This is termed pressure natriuresis or pressure diuresis. If an experiment is conducted in which arterial pressure is increased by infusing a systemic vasoconstrictor for several days, systemic vascular resistance and arterial pressure initially rise (Figure 1). After a day or two, arterial pressure returns to normal despite the sustained increase in systemic vascular resistance. The fall in arterial pressure is caused by a transient increase in sodium and water excretion that reduces blood volume and restores arterial pressure. When the arterial pressure is normalized, the sodium balance (sodium output/sodium intake) is also normalized, but at a reduced blood volume. If the changes in sodium excretion are plotted versus arterial pressure, a renal function curve (pressure natriuresis curve) is generated (see Figure 1). An increase in arterial pressure, brought about by increased systemic vascular resistance in this example, temporarily shifts the operating point on the renal function curve from A to B as the increased pressure increases sodium and water excretion. Then, as blood volume decreases in response to the na-triuresis and diuresis, the arterial pressure falls back to its original operating point (A). The arterial pressure returns to its normal value because the reduction in blood volume reduces cardiac output through the Frank-Starling mechanism. These changes occur while the elevated systemic vascular resistance is being maintained by infusion of the vasoconstrictor. Therefore, the kidneys, by regulating blood volume, are ultimately responsible for the long-term regulation of arterial pressure.
If renal excretion of sodium and water is reduced either by extrinsic influences (e.g., increased circulating angiotensin II and aldos-terone) or by intrinsic renal disease, then a higher arterial pressure (i.e., hypertension) is required to produce normal sodium and water excretion. This causes a rightward shift in the renal function curve (Figure 2). Therefore, when pressure natriuresis is impaired, a higher arterial pressure is required to maintain normal sodium balance. The higher arterial pressure is brought about by small reductions in sodium excretion (relative to sodium intake) due to impaired renal sodium handling, which over time increases blood volume and arterial pressure. Then, once the arterial pressure increases sufficiently to restore normal sodium excretion (to match the sodium intake), a new operating point is established (Point B in Figure 2).
For more details on conditions that alter pressure natriuresis curves see the following review article: Hall J: The kidney, hypertension, and obesity. Hypertension 2003;41: 625-633.

In a conference room in South Seattle, Jesse Chips, the administrator for the Seattle HIV/AIDS Planning Council, facilitated the first meeting of the Prevention Prioritization Subcommittee.
The mood in the room was relaxed. The goal of the group was high: to determine what to do with $3.4 million in federal, state and local funds allocated for HIV/AIDS prevention in King County.
Addressing those present, Chips said, "You're here to review the data and use the data to help inform your decisions."
The data follows:
* The first case of AIDS reported in King County occurred in 1982, two years after it appeared nationally. By 1989, more than 1,000 people had died of AIDS in King County, and as of last year 2,956 King County residents have died of AIDS.
* Since 1991, new diagnoses of HIV have been steadily decreasing. Annual deaths from the virus have been declining since 1994.
* Currently 5,658 people are living with HIV in King County, 56 percent of them are living with AIDS.
* Based on data from Public Health-Seattle & King County the most at-risk population for HIV/AIDS is "men who have sex with men," or MSM. Of the current cases of HIV in King County, 70 percent are MSMs. The vast majority of cases are also among white people. Trends indicate that new cases among heterosexuals and African-Americans are increasing.
The Seattle HIV/AIDS Planning Council was formed in 1993 as a volunteer body to determine how to spend funding for prevention and care. Members of the council are nominated to fill specific representational spots and are appointed by the King County executive. Subcommittees consist of planning council members, experts, community leaders and consumers of HIV/AIDS services.
The Prevention Prioritization Subcommittee's first meeting was held Jan. 7 at the 2100 Building in South Seattle. Decisions are not formally voted on unless necessary, and consensus decision-making is preferred.
"To the extent we can, we will not vote," Chips told the group during their first meeting.
The beginning of the meeting resembled a classroom brainstorming session. Thoughts were shared concerning past priorities and written in bright colors on posters in the front of the room.
"There are a lot of populations that seem to be missed or ignored," one member said.
Another noted he hopes for more "in-your-face intervention."
Committee members shared a concern that the data concentrated too much on what happened in the past and does not address current trends.
Twenty-eight people were present, including the 22 subcommittee members and six community members.
At one point during the four-hour meeting the room was divided into four groups, each assigned with the task of developing rules of conduct for further meetings.
When one group stressed the necessity to respect everyone's opinions, Chips asked the room, "Can everyone live with that?"
"No!" was the response of the room, quickly followed by laughter.
By the end of the nine weeks, the subcommittee will have developed a prevention prioritization plan that allocates funds to specific at-risk populations. In 2004 the subcommittee categorized the at-risk populations into 10 categories. HIV positive people and white MSMs, 25 and older topped the list.
Although 70 percent of HIV/AIDS cases occur among white MSMs, critics say that funding was not being proportionately supplied to all at-risk groups.
Members of the public attending the meeting also offered criticism.
Dennis Saxman said he regularly attends HIV/AIDS Planning Council meetings. He acknowledged experts drove the process, but he said he "would like to see more members of the community here.
"People living with HIV/AIDS have a very different viewpoint," he said.
Chips acknowledged that the subcommittee has limits.
"There was not enough money to save everyone," she said, "so we have to make tough decisions."
After the meeting Bill Hall, a subcommittee member representing the Native American community, expressed a positive impression of the gathering.
He said the meeting taught him that he took a lot of things for granted.
"I just assumed everyone else had the same concept as I had," he said. "I thought for our first meeting it went really well."

Don Maximiano Errazuriz founded Viña Errazuriz in 1870 in the Aconcagua Valley, north of Santiago. This valley has cool, rainy winters, hot, dry summers and moist Pacific Ocean breezes--ideal for growing grapes. Don Maximiano sent for the finest clones from France and with tenacity and perseverance transformed this barren land into a world-class vineyard. Today, the tradition of quality lives on with Don Maximiano's descendant, Eduardo Chadwick--the fifth generation of his family to... View More

At 5:30 a.m., on the other side of the world and dressed in traditional Indian garb, Rumeet Billan worked on her wedding day. In one camp of the work-life balance debate, this type of behaviour would definitely be classified as a no-no. For Billan, it's what worked for her.
Personally, I probably wouldn't have worked on my wedding day, but I can see why she may have been tempted. And I'm not going to judge.
Technology is blasting apart traditional constructs of the workplace. A work-related issue can be resolved in mere minutes. More dual income households are also vastly changing our expectations about gender roles at home and at work. If you have kids, that adds even another complex dimension and usually means your work hours can be all over the map. What matters is how you define work-life balance, whether you're OK with your choices and level of success.
But figuring out that balance can be a moving target. Like other so-called Millennial women, Billan is charting a different path than women before her. According to a new survey by Zeno Group, this route is starkly different from the one-way-up corporate climbing depicted in the 1988 comedy Working Girl, which starred Melanie Griffith as springy Tess McGill.
(Remember Tess, who had that awesome feathered hairdo and bragged, "I have a head for business and a bod for sin"?)
"When we look at balance, it's defining it in your own terms. On my wedding day, the balance for me on that day, was to ensure that I fulfilled my commitment not only to my husband, but also to all the other commitments that I had," says 30-year-old Billan, a Toronto resident and president of Jobs in Education.
"I was able to do that. I did not hurt anyone in the process."
Millennial women carving own path
More Millennials, loosely defined as a group born in the early 1980s to 2000s of which I, admittedly, don't belong, are redefining what it means to be ambitious and successful. Does it mean being a chief executive? Not anymore it appears. Only a mere 6 per cent of the university-educated females surveyed said they wanted to be a top leader in a large or prominent organization.
That number is low partly because Millennials say too much personal and family sacrifice is at stake in the traditional ways that success has been defined. As a result, they're doing things differently.
Nearly 40 per cent care mostly about doing great, rewarding or interesting work, but don’t necessarily think it's important to manage or lead others, while 20 per cent want to be among the top leaders at a large or prominent organization. Twelve per cent want to be entrepreneurs, and another nine per cent simply want to be creative and work on a small team of like-minded people.
Cynthia Zamaria, managing director at Zeno Canada, says the results are a wake-up call for policymakers and employers, and they'll need to figure out new ways to pluck from the diverse and unique talent pool.
"There are a number of women who are looking at different paths. If our goal is to increase senior ranks of women being represented in companies, in organizations and board of directors then we need to look at what are the things from preventing them from wanting to do this and exploring why they're looking at different options," says Zamaria.
Flexible work arrangements seems like a good way to start. Work places that encourage a creative atmosphere, rather than a stifling one would seem to me to be pretty desirable as well.
There are a range of alternate work deals that can be secured including flexible hours, telecommuting, job sharing and variable workweek options. We've all seen it happen and learn that those are models that can work.
Earlier this year, the Great Places to Work Institute issued a new list of the best places to work in Canada, with high tech companies topping the list of most desirable workplaces. Research and consulting groups also scored high.
Fostering a positive workplace was the key reason why companies made the top including group activities, paid volunteer time and perks that encourage wellness. Places that treat their employees with respect also, and obviously, tended to win accolades.
Getting with the times
The fact is women in various times of their career take leaves, whether for maternity or for something else, and sometimes don't return. In order to retain them, companies need to get with the times, says Jennifer Reynolds, president of Women in Capital Markets, a non-profit group that promotes the advancement of women in the industry.
What's clear as we look ahead is that younger generations want more flexibility. "I don't think it's a lack of ambition. I think it really is that people are asking for a different environment. They can be just as productive. It's not going to mean inferior results," says Reynolds.
Actually, if you think of it, if you have the right people, who are happy and motivated, you may have greater results. In the end, the corporate environment has to change and move with the times or risk missing out on a talented pool of people that are looking elsewhere.
Strangers might want to wag their fingers at Billan for choosing to work on her wedding day. But she says she doesn't regret it, so I'm not going to tell her otherwise. Neither should anyone else.

Mirabelle Océane April 17, 2021 Coloring Pages
Your designs need not to be new and expensive. You do not have to spend a hundred bucks to make it look attractive. You can make use of pictures which you can find in magazines and cut letters depending on what you desire for your scrapbook. Get and collect as many scrapbooking page ideas in the internet and incorporate them into your scrapbook design. The great thing about this hobby is that you can do it at the comfort of your homes and a great bonding time for your teenage daughters. They would love the idea of preserving your memories in a form of scrapbook. And this will serve as a great bonding time between you and your children.
When you open the page of MySpace, you can see various tabs. Scrolling down you will see a list of tabs and on that you select the customize profile. A window will slowly open and you can see many buttons on this window. The top most would be Build My Own Theme which would further have four buttons in a row. Just go to the first one among the four, Background, Color, Fonts, and Style. The background can be changed by clicking on this button and choosing from the options shown as a result of this action. Changing the background is important to have the color of the theme and background to math with each other.
When you think of firefighters, you cannot help but think about those big, red firetrucks that carry them to the scene of the fire. I think it‘s safe to say that the firetruck is recognized by children and adults everywhere, so this is a great place to start for scrapbooking. The most popular and recognizable colors related to firefighting are bright red with white. Make sure that you use these colors liberally in your page, but take care that the white does not overpower the red. For example, if you‘re using more white than red in your design, the overall feel of your page will become related to a hospital, rather than firefighting.
Of course you can customize the whole layout but changing the background color has the most effect on the overall look. Bit by bit the change can be made in any area you want to your liking or you can use the default layout. If need be you can change the profile or background color and other things. If you are interested in changing the background color, you need to do as a primary step search for the tab that will help you do it.
I have received some requests for scrapbook page ideas about how to create an album based on a firefighting theme, so this article will be about sharing some of the ideas I have learned that can be applied to a project like this. You see, although scrapbooking oftentimes revolves around a central motif, you still have a lot of freedom to create your own page in your own unique way. What‘s more, a lot of the techniques that you learn can be used in multiple theme-based projects, so there‘s really no limitations as to how you create your own scrapbook page.
You can also combine your pictures with other colors to create symbolic images such as fire and water, which are directly connected to firefighting as well. Use colors such as orange and yellow combined with a little red to symbolize fire, and use blue to symbolize water that puts out the fire. Aside from the firetruck and the Dalmatian dog, the most popular images associated with firefighters will be their uniforms, the hat, and the fire hydrant. Using these images in your scrapbook will help add to the atmosphere and appearance of your firefighting theme.

Welcome to Meal Prep Monday. Today we are going to use the Instant Pot to prep some meals, snacks and core ingredients.
When I first began my Trim Healthy Mama journey, I wasn’t much of a meal planner or a prep a head kind of mama. I’d grab a bunch of prepackaged junk and eat that. Three years later, I prep on plan meals and snacks most Mondays to get me through the week. I’ve lost over 100 pounds and am on my own mission to be Trim and Healthy.
If you are interested in following Trim Healthy Mama you can find the plan book as well as the cookbook on Amazon.
(This post does contain affiliate links, please know that I do make a small commission when you purchase through these links; however it does not change your cost and blesses our family with the ability to continue this blog and all of its activities)
The Trim Healthy Mama Books
I can’t speak highly enough about this Trim Healthy Mama Plan Book. I absolutely love that it has sample menus that correlate with the companion cookbook. And that it also outlines ways in which to be budget savvy with your menu choices, follow “Purist” or”Drive Thru Sue” lifestyles in a fun and easy to read format.
The Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook is one of my all time favorites. With so many recipes that are referenced in the sample menus at the ends of correlating chapters in the Trim Healthy Mama Plan book. It make starting Trim Healthy Mama easy and helps you to see what works in what meal setting without worry of “doing it wrong”.
I dearly love my original Trim Healthy Mama Book! It enabled me to begin to regulate my type 2 diabetes without having to give up my love of baked goods. Has made feeding my husband healthy meals easy and fun. We have lowered our blood pressures, high cholesterol and manage diabetes without worry.
This weeks THM Meal Prep Monday Recipes
This week I’m going to share some posts with you about how I make Homemade Yogurt in My Instant Pot, Instant Pot Turkey Breast from The Healthy Milestone , and Steaming Eggs in My Instant Pot. We are also going to look at some of my favorite recipes from the cookbook and the original Trim Healthy Mama book that can be prepared in the instant pot.
This is the Instant Pot Duo60 7 in 1 that I own
Homemade Yogurt in My Instant Pot
First up we are going to talk about yogurt. When I got my Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1 Multi-Functional Pressure Cooker one of the first things I did was to make yogurt. I’ve made crock pot yogurt in the past and while the time is similar one thing that having the yogurt setting helps with is keeping the pot at the correct temperature during the fermentation/culturing process. This is difficult with oven processing and with crock pot processing.
I go into the full process of how I make Homemade Yogurt in My Instant Pot here. I do make my yogurt Fuel Pull as much as possible, by using skim milk and processing some of it into jigglegurt cups. You can find the Jigglegurt recipe in the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook.
- Jigglegurt — Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook
- Blended Yogurt Cups (similar to oikos triple zero)
- Fruit on the Bottom Yogurt Cups
- As a sour cream replacement
- Ranch Dressing (I use these Homemade Ranch Seasoning Packets)
- Ranch dip for my veggies
Instant Pot Turkey Breast (from The Healthy Milestone)
As Thanksgiving was approaching this year I started eyeing the bone in Turkey Breasts at the grocery store. My thoughts on this were that buying a couple of them while they are on sale I will have lean protein whenever we want it. The bones from the breast also go into my instant pot duo60 7 in 1 to make bone broth (I will tell you more on that in my next Make Ahead Monday post)
I found this great article about how to make an Instant Pot Turkey Breast over at The Healthy Milestone. It worked out perfectly. We now have about 5 pounds of precooked white meat turkey. Head on over and Check out her article!!
We really loved this. It made dinner for the day as well as gave us lunches and another meal for the week. Carey’s photo is a wonderful inspiration for an E meal I threw the turkey and a chopped apple on top of some spring mix and ta da!! instant salad.
She also has a great article on Instant Pot Seasoned Chicken Breasts …
The recipes that I normally prepare ahead with Instant Pot Turkey or Chicken Breasts are:
- Chicken Salad
- Sugar Free Sweet and Smokey BBQ Chicken
- Sugar Free Sweet and Smokey BBQ Chicken
- Wipe Your Mouth barbecue (THM Cookbook)
- Cajun Cream Chicken (THM Cookbook)
Steamed Eggs in My Instant Pot
I love steamed eggs!! They peel so much easier than boiled eggs, so remember even if you don’t have an Instant Pot or yours is busy with other yumminess… Steam those Eggs
The Recipes that I normally make with Steamed Eggs from my Instant Pot are:
- Deviled Eggs
- Mustard Eggs
- Egg Salad
- Egg Whites and Salsa
I will also add the yolks or sometimes even a whole steamed egg to these shakes
- Creamy Vanilla Custard Shake (Low Carb, Gluten Free, THM S)
- Chocolate Custard Shake
- Peanut Butter Custard Shake
We keep at least a dozen steamed eggs in the fridge at all times for a quick grab and go snack or quick meal. It’s easy to throw together a big salad add a steamed egg that has been chopped, other veggies and top it all with Slim Belly Vinaigrette. Super simple nothing over the top but satisfying and filling.
I hope you have enjoyed Meal Prep Monday this week and that you plan to join in next week when we delve into spices and seasonings and how to prep ahead for the week to come.

Irish cattle prices continue to climb in Europe, with the average price for an R3 heifer in the Republic 431.9c/kg in the week ending July 26, 2015, the Livestock and Meat Commission (LMC) says.
The Republic also retains its third place spot on the EU deadweight cattle prices league table.
This latest price for the Republic places it 28.6c/kg above the EU average and it is up 3.2c/kg from the 428.7c/kg paid in the week ending June 28, 2015, it says.
The average R3 heifer price in the EU was 403.3c/kg for the week ending July 26, which the LMC says is up 2.7c/kg from the month previous.
Looking to Northern Ireland, LMC figures show that the average cattle price in the North was the equivalent of 488.3c/kg, up 11.3c/kg from 477.0c/kg paid in the week ending June 28.
This latest cattle price places the North 85.0c/kg higher than the EU average in the week ending July 26 compared to 76.4c/kg in for the corresponding period last month.
The North is now the equivalent of 56.4c/kg higher than the price paid in the Republic and retains its second place spot on the EU cattle prices league table.
Looking to the UK, which retains the top spot on the league table, the average R3 heifer price for the week ending July 26, 2015 was the equivalent of 511.9c/kg, the LMC says.
This, the LMC says, is an increase of 23.1c/kg from the price paid in the week ending June 26.
Furthermore, this increase resulted in the UK/EU price differential widening from 88.2c/kg in the week ending June 28 to 108.6c/kg in the week ending July 26, it says.
The euro was down to €1= 70.11p in the week ending July 26 2015.


WASHINGTON — Pentagon officials say a U.S.-led coalition has succeeded in scattering and isolating Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi's forces after a weekend of punishing air attacks, and American military authorities are moving to hand control of the operation to other countries.
Navy Vice Admiral William E. Gortney says the air strikes have been "very effective," and the Pentagon believes Gadhafi's military is "under significant stress."
The assault has included B-2 stealth bombers, jet fighters, more than 120 Tomahawk cruise missiles and other high-tech weapons. Gortney says no allied planes have been lost and all pilots have returned safely.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the U.S. expects to relinquish control of the mission "in a matter of days."

We started at 6 o’clock this morning and arrived in Oxford at about 10. We were inspected by General Grant, passing through the town by platoon. We marched on eight miles out from town and went into camp along the railroad. Grant has his headquarters in Oxford. It is a fine town, on high ground and well built up with fine homes of the rich planters. A college is located here, with good buildings.1 The surrounding plantations are well fenced and have good buildings.

What is MSG?
MSG is the commonly used acronym for monosodium glutamate. MSG
is a food ingredient used by home cooks and the food industry
to make some foods taste better. In very simple scientific terms,
MSG is a combination of the amino acid glutamate, sodium and
acids are the "building blocks" of protein, and glutamate
is one of the most abundant amino acids. It occurs naturally
in lots of different foods. For example, protein-containing
foods such as meat, fish, milk
and vegetables contain glutamate, and our bodies also produce
it. Even human breast milk contains glutamate naturally.
Why is MSG used?
MSG is a flavor enhancer that helps bring out the best natural
flavors in foods. It works well with a wide variety of foods
including meats, poultry, seafood, and many vegetables. Home
cooks use MSG in soups, stews, sauces and casseroles, while
the food industry frequently uses it in snack foods, frozen
entrees and a wide variety of convenience foods.
How does MSG work?
When MSG is added to foods, the glutamate component enhances
several specific flavor characteristics, including impact, body
or fullness, mildness and complexity. It also harmonizes the
wide range of flavors already present in foods, creating a well-rounded
same thing occurs when you cook with foods that are naturally
high in glutamate, such as mushrooms, tomatoes and Parmesan
cheese. No wonder these foods have long been prized for their
distinctive flavoring abilities!
Is MSG a new food ingredient?
No, MSG has nearly 100 years of safe use. A Japanese professor
and researcher, Dr. Kikunae Ikeda first discovered the flavor-enhancing
properties of glutamate in 1908. He then went on to develop
monosodium glutamate so that consumers would have an easy way
to use glutamate in cooking.
How is MSG made?
MSG is made using a fermentation process. Many common foods
such as yogurt, beer, vinegar and soy sauce are produced by
fermentation. American-made MSG uses Iowa corn as its starting
material, but in other countries molasses, sugar beets or tapioca
may be used.
Is there a difference between the glutamate in MSG and the glutamate
No. The glutamate found in MSG is the same as the glutamate
that naturally occurs in many foods, according to authorities
such as the American Medical Association (AMA), the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) and most recently, the 1995 Federation
of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) report.
In addition, our bodies metabolize, or break down, the two sources
of glutamate in exactly the same way. In other words, to the
human body, glutamate is glutamate no matter what the source.
What is umami?
Umami (pronounced "oo-mommy") is the Japanese word
for the unique taste imparted by glutamate. While English (and
other Western languages) lacks a specific word for the glutamate
taste, it's often described as savory, meaty or broth-like.
have recently validated what our taste buds have known all alongthat
the glutamate taste is separate and distinct from the other
four tastes (sweet, sour, salty and bitter.) After years of
searching, researchers in Florida recently discovered the glutamate

Thousands of Nairobi residents are being forced to walk long distances to work after the owners of privately owned buses that many laborers depend on began a three-day strike Monday to protest police shakedowns.
Dickson Mbugua, the chairman of an association representing the bus owners and workers, said transport drivers pay police more than $20 million a year in bribes. Mbugua says the shakedowns are crippling their businesses and that no action has been taken by the government despite numerous complaints.
"A police officer from the traffic department goes home every day with no less than 5,000 shillings ($65) in his pockets ... all gained through extortion," Mbugua said.
The average monthly salary for a Nairobi police officer is about $200.
The international anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International ranks Kenya's police force as East Africa's most corrupt institution.
National police spokesman Eric Kiraithe said steps have been taken to apprehend police officers demanding bribes from public transport operators.
"Bus operators and the public in general are assured that every possible effort is being made to ensure that traffic police officers are courteous and honest in their dealings with motorists," Kiraithe said in a statement.
The strike was timed to coincide with the first day of business after the holiday season. Mbugua estimated that 51,000 vehicles participated in the strike.

by Charles Murray
Publisher: Civitas Book Publisher 2005
Number of pages: 131
In his essay Simple Justice, the celebrated American sociologist Charles Murray provides an uncompromising restatement and defence of the backward-looking, retributive justification of criminal punishment. He also makes an impassioned plea for England to revert to this approach to dealing with convicted offenders, something, he claims, it did until comparatively recently, when those administering its criminal justice system replaced it with a more complex, non-retributive approach.

Many years ago when I lived in Southern California, I remember reading in one of the local newspapers a fascinating article written by Kirk Douglas.
Last weekend I watched the Spiritual Cinema Circle’s newest feature film. The movie starred the legendary Kirk Douglas in what he said was his last performance of this lifetime. It’s a powerful movie about fathers and sons. With Father’s Day coming up Sunday, June 17, it’s a particularly timely movie.
The movie reminded me of the article Kirk wrote many years earlier.… Read more

Frontiers International Conference on Wastewater Treatment and Modelling
21-24 May 2017 – Palermo, Italy
FICWTM – Social Program
Some details of social events at the FICWTM2017 can be found below – more details will be provided as they become available.
Sunday 21 May – Palazzo Chiaramonte – Steri
Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri is a historical palace in Palermo, Sicily. The building was begun in the early 14th century, and was the residence of the powerful Sicilian lord Manfredi III Chiaramonte. He commissioned the decoration of the Sala Magna (“Grand Hall”), with a painted wooden ceiling by Cecco di Naro, Simone da Corleone and Pellegrino Darena. From the late 15th century to 1517 it housed the Aragonese-Spanish viceroys of Sicily; later it was home to the Royal Customs and, from 1600 to 1782, the tribunal of the Holy Inquisition. The palace was restored in the 20th century, with numerous elements associated with its role as a jail of the Inquisition. During the works, the grooves left by iron cages in which had been hung the severed heads of the nobles who had rebelled against emperor Charles V were discovered in the façade. The palace is now a museum; among the artworks, it houses Renato Guttuso’s Vucciria.
18.00 – 21.00 Icebreaker
Monday 22 May – Villa Niscemi
The villa has been the main residence for at least three centuries of Valguarnera family of Niscemi. The house passed his childhood Fulco di Verdura, the famous artist and twentieth century jeweler, son of Caroline of Valguarnera. In 1987, the descendants of the family (even if by order of age, the last Valguarnera, to date, is the daughter of a first cousin Corrado, Maria Carolina Valguarnera), Margherita (called Maita) Valguarnera and Maria Immacolata (called Mimi) Valguarnera , Princess Romanov, sold the monument to the City of Palermo which has made its representative office. Inside, furniture, paintings, furnishings evoke the charm of a lost time, although the most important furnishings were taken away from the house before the sale. In the entrance hall on the main floor is the large stone fireplace in the second half of the 800 designed by the architect Giovan Battista Palazzotto. In the green room stands out the fresco depicting Charlemagne granted the coat of arms of Valguarnera.
18.30 – 23.00 Sicilian taste Social dinner
Tuesday 23 May – Villa Malfitano Whitaker
The project and the construction date back to the period between 1885 and 1889 by the architect Ignazio Greek commissioned by Joseph Whitaker, a descendant entrepreneur an English family, who settled in Palermo in the second half of the nineteenth century. The villa, in neo-Renaissance style, is on three levels; in the interior there are several beautifully decorated rooms where a rich collection of art objects is preserved collected by the owner during his many travels as furniture, paintings, coral, ivory, porcelain and Flemish tapestries of the sixteenth century that the Whitaker Foundation today preserves zealously . Also several paintings by Francesco Lojacono.
18.30 – 23.00 Gala dinner
Wednesday 24 May – Teatro Massimo
The opera house was designed and overseen by the Italian architect Giovan Battista Filippo Basile, who was well known in Sicily for his previous cathedral restoration design in the city of Acireale, as well as garden and villa designs in the city of Palermo and Caltagirone. The Teatro Massimo is the largest theatre in Italy (and the third largest opera house in Europe). Realized in the late-Renaissance style, the auditorium was planned for 3,000 people, but, in its current format, it seats 1,350, with 7 tiers of boxes rising up around an inclined stage, and shaped in the typical horseshoe style.
18.30 – 23.00 Italian Art & Culture Dinner
Wednesday 24 May – Pompeian hall
The Pompeian hall is a very special room of circular shape of Teatro Massimo. It was originally thought as a smoking room and exclusively reserved for the nobles. It is also called Echo Room for its perfect acoustics: the effect produced speaking inside it goes more and more increasing as you get closer to the center.
Program is subject to change.

IMPORTANCE OF REGULAR CHECKUPS
Regular visits at the dentist (in child's early age) have several reasons:
– the child knows the doctor and his/her ambulance which prevents from traumas at later age
– the doctor controls the right eruption of teeth
– early discovery of caries allows a quick and painless treatment ošetrenie.
In case of strong destruction baby teeth may fall out very early and other teeth may move into these gaps due to which permanent teeth cannot erupt at the right place and they are curved.
Fluoridation and early treatment of dental caries of baby teeth significantly reduces the risk of curved eruption of permanent teeth and a subsequent necessity of wearing and orthodontic apparatus.
The first dental check-up should be done during the child's first year and then every six month up to their adulthood.

Tango Night with the Locals

Want to discover all there is to do in Buenos Aires Province? Click here for a full list.
It has long been a dream of mine to dance tango in Buenos Aires and I achieved it if only briefly on this trip. We had an hour’s lesson in a dance studio and then on to a milonga. This really was a tango night with the locals - the only tourists were those in our group - and we loved it. Our guide was excellent - as well as dancing we chatted all evening about Argentina and as well as being a great dance teacher she was informative and fun. Highly recommended
The Guide Lucia did an amazing Job!, she was very nice and knowledgeable and kindly answered all the questions in a perfect English. I recommend this tour as a different way of getting to know Buenos Aires historical and cultural aspects, now i know why they call it city that never sleeps.
My 90-year-old father wanted to live the experience of going to see tango where Argentines dance. We went to two Milongas, @clubgrisel and the second @elbeso. We love to see these tango / milongas houses right next to the people who dance and attend.
Laura and Martin are very sweet, lovely people, always in great communication with us. They picked us up from our hotel, gave us private Tango lesson and took us to a milonga. We had a great evening and real Tango experience. Highly recommend!!!!
We were lucky enough to only have 2 other guests. Sightseeing was great.


MANILA, Philippines - PLDT Home Telpad rebounded strong from an embarrassing setback the last time out, dominating National U in the opening set before cruising to a 25-13, 25-20, 25-19 victory as it resumed its semifinal drive in the Shakey’s V-League Season 11 Open Conference at The Arena in San Juan yesterday.
Air Force pounced on the absence of injured Rachel Ann Daquis’ absence and stunned Army with big bounce-back games after the first set to carve out a 20-25, 25-19, 25-19, 25-22 win later in the day.
The victory didn’t only firm up the Raiders hold of the No. 4 seat but it also put them in the hunt for the top spot with a 6-3 card as the Lady Troopers fell from joint first to solo third at 6-2.
Air Force’s win also gave idle defending champion Cagayan Valley the solo lead at 6-1 with PLDT Home Telpad at No. 2 with a 7-2 slate in the mid-season conference of the league sponsored by Shakey’s and backed by Mikasa and Accel.
Joy Cases blasted the Lady Troopers with 19 kills and finished with 20 hits while Judy Caballejo had 18, Maika Ortiz added 14 and May Ann Pantino and Jocie Tapic combined for 14 hits for the Raiders, who went 2-0 in the quarters after thumping the NU Lady Bulldogs in four last Sunday.
Even without Daquis, the fancied Army side drew double-digit outputs from four players but just couldn’t neutralize the Raiders sustained fightback from the second set on. Jovelyn Gonzalez made 14 hits, setter Tina Salak stepped up to fire 13 points and Joanne Bunag and Nene Bautista had 12 and 10 markers, respectively.
Earlier, the Turbo Boosters limited the Jaja Santiago-led Lady Bulldogs to just 13 points in the first frame then frustrated their rivals with strong finishes in the last two to clinch the win and atone for their similar shutout setback to the back-to-the-wall Ateneo side that had coach Roger Gorayeb fuming last Sunday.
Meanwhile, the PLDT-NU match will be shown on GMA News TV Channel starting at 1 p.m. today with the Army-Air Force duel to be telecast tomorrow, according to the organizing Sports Vision.
Laurence Ann Latigay dished out her best game in a long, long while, blasting 11 kills, ramming in four aces and coming away with two blocks for a 17-hit effort. Former MVP Suzanne Roces cancelled out Santiago’s 15-point performance with her own 15-hit game while Angela Benting delivered 10 points for the league’s newcomers.
The loss was NU’s sixth against only three wins, dampening the Lady Bulldogs’ chances for the last semifinal berth in the league where it all started.
Myla Pablo backed up Santiago with 12 hits but only Rizza Mandapat and Desiree Dadang emerged as the only two others scorers for NU with eight and two points, respectively.
With Roces and Latigay scoring heavily on Rubie de Leon’s feeds, the rest took care of reception and kept the ball alive with their superb digs, neutralizing a number of NU’s attacks. The Turbo Boosters, who wound up with 42 kills, 10 more than NU, also lorded it over the net with eight blocks as against NU’s 3 and came away with six aces in the 66-minute encounter.

SAN DIEGO – October 21, 2014 – ResMed (NYSE: RMD) today introduced myAir, a new personalized therapy management application for patients with sleep-disordered breathing. myAir equips patients with the information they need to resolve basic therapy issues so they can increase their comfort and stay compliant. By providing well-timed support, education and troubleshooting tools, myAir helps patients feel confident and motivated to start and stay on therapy. Empowering patients to take an active role in their health, myAir helps drive operational efficiencies for home medical equipment providers (HMEs) and gives them more time to focus on patients who need it most.
“myAir is personalized to each individual patient’s therapy journey – they can see important information about their sleep therapy, make adjustments to improve the treatment experience, and share their progress with family members and loved ones, all on a daily basis,” said Raj Sodhi, vice president, ResMed Healthcare Informatics. “If and when issues arise patients receive the information they need through myAir, allowing HMEs to focus on other patients more in need of support.”
myAir is a key component of ResMed Air Solutions, the forward-thinking connected care solution for treating sleep-disordered breathing launched earlier this year. With its mobile responsive design, patients can access myAir from their mobile phones and tablets, anytime, anywhere. The platform has been designed exclusively for ResMed’s AirSense™ 10 and AirCurve™ 10 devices, both of which are wirelessly enabled to automatically deliver therapy data into myAir on a daily basis.
With myAir, patients receive a myAir score each morning calculated from their therapy data, providing them with a quick, snapshot view of their treatment. They can also click through to see how their myAir Score was calculated from metrics such as usage time and mask seal. Together with trend charts of the previous two weeks, myAir makes it easier for patients to track their sleep progress which can help them feel more confident and encouraged night after night.
HMEs supporting patients using myAir can benefit from a variety of coaching and reinforcement capabilities delivered via email and/or text. The coaching tips are supplemented with compelling video content as well as encouragement and praise – shareable in social media if the patient desires – intended to increase confidence and sustain motivation.
ResMed Air Solutions
myAir is the latest component of ResMed Air Solutions that, together, create a comprehensive end-to-end ecosystem designed to increase efficiency and treatment efficacy by keeping providers informed and patients engaged. The suite of ResMed Air Solutions directly addresses the pain points for each stakeholder in the patient’s therapy, including physicians, sleep labs, home medical equipment providers, and the patients themselves.
Patients will be able to register for myAir beginning October 27, 2014. Learn more about myAir, ResMed Air Solutions, U-Sleep and ResMed Data Exchange during MedTrade at the ResMed booth #1317, located in hall C of the Georgia World Congress Center.

Dec 20,2007 00:00
NEW DELHI -- Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Thursday the country faces intensified terrorist violence especially against soft targets.
Addressing a conference of the country's state chief ministers in New Delhi, Singh said the warning has come from intelligence agencies, the Press Trust of India reported.
The conference is designed to improve security in states, where there have been a number of terror attacks in recent months, many blamed on left-wing extremism.
The prime minister asked the chief ministers to set up specialized, dedicated forces to "cripple" such acts, the report said.
"While left-wing extremism may be restricted in its scope to some regions, the larger problem of terrorism affects all states equally," Singh said. "Terror attacks may have happened so far only in some locations. But the reach of terrorists is such that no one can say that they are fully immune from such attacks."
He warned terrorists are able to network across states and even international boundaries to organize coordinated strikes, PTI said.

If you have some Michael Jackson memorabilia, cherish it. If you don't, you'll need some good luck finding some!
The King of Pop's death has triggered a run on all things Jackson related: CDs, DVDs, posters, clothing, if it has Michael Jackson's name or likeness, its value or its demand has increased since Thursday.
Managers with Best Buy's Frisco location said the store ran out of Michael Jackson merchandise within hours of the announcement of his death.
"Nothing like this before, even this morning we've been pretty crowded with people looking for it," said Dave Durre, a manager at a Best Buy Frisco location.
In fact, Durre said it's not just folks in Frisco making a run on Jackson items -- it's everywhere. He said every Best Buy location nationwide is out of Michael Jackson or Jackson 5 merchandise.
To put in perspective on just how eager people are to own something relating to the King of Pop consider this, in Texas Best Buy stores statewide report selling about 1,500 Jackson items per week usually.
This week they've sold 15,000 Jackson CDs or DVDs, most of it in the immediate hours following his death and Friday morning.
That's in an era where store sales compete with computer downloads and eBay.
"It's really unprecedented," said Durre. "It's unexpected. You can't predict anything like that, it's a piece of nostalgia that you have to have now, even with radio stations playing it, you just want to own it."
The only thing to rival a sales jump of this kind, according to Best Buy, are major gaming releases like Madden Football.
Durre said he can't imagine another music artist of any kind presenting the same demand where stores nationwide are without inventory.
Best Buy's corporate offices have placed a call to Sony Records asking them to send its stores anything Michael Jackson related as soon as possible.
Jackson was already the biggest selling recording artist in the world and store managers everywhere are quietly predicting the King of Pop may out sell himself in death.
