Redhawk Consulting partners Matt Hottle and Mickey Millsap manage the $25 million venture capital fund, which they raised with a number of organizations and individuals including Raymond Harbert and Charles Barkley.
Hottle and Millsap spoke and answered questions for 45 minutes on what their vision for the AFF is, why they as transplants from other states chose to make Birmingham their home, on the companies they’ve helped relocate to or stay in Alabama, and on what makes Birmingham unique.
The Fund, which will invest all $25 million in seed-stage startups over the next several years, requires all firms to stay in or relocate to Alabama. When asked what makes Birmingham unique, Hottle declined to pick just one aspect.
“The thing about picking one aspect is that I wouldn’t ever pick just one,” Hottle said. “Birmingham and the state have so many great things going for it.”
The partners also addressed some common myths about doing business in Birmingham, saying that the companies they’re courting have all loved their community experience in the city and that, unlike famous startup cities like San Francisco, there’s no shortage of talent in Birmingham.
Hottle highlighted how Birmingham’s welcome, warm, communal culture played a major role in securing one of the Fund’s earliest companies, Joonko. An Israel-based startup, Joonko relocated from San Francisco after a seven-month evaluation period of Birmingham. Joonko’s founder specifically told Hottle and Millsap how important the kibbutz-like community in the city was to her decision.
The Fund specifically works with seed-stage, high-growth startups with the hopes of helping a handful achieve tremendous success. The startup industry understands that many startups will fail while a few go on to be wildly successful. The Fund’s hope is to support startups the right way so that few startups fail along the way.
The presentation left a big impact on the attendees.
“The biggest takeaway is encouragement and hopefulness for the vibrancy in downtown Birmingham. It makes me want to find more ways to get involved,” said Matt Cantor.
“It’s really exciting to hear from people who have a vision for Birmingham and are actively working to realize that potential. Matt and Mickey are doing important work. I’m looking forward to keeping an eye out for the companies that they’re funding and mentoring,” said Brita Brudvig.
“I thought that it was a comprehensive overview of the Alabama Futures Fund and I have a greater understanding of how it originated and its purpose as well as the next steps,” said Martin Briggs with ULECx.
Attendees also heard from Harvest Market about their plans, including to build a full-service beer and wine bar, and eventually co-working spaces, into the Local Loft in the back of the Market.
Formerly Organic Harvest, the Market serves Birmingham’s urban core with locally-sourced food, beer, wine, supplements, a juice bar, grab-n-go meals, pet food and even hardware.
Like AFF, the Market built its entire business model around knowing how important place is in a city. The Harvest Market team believes that “eating right should not be a privilege, and we want to change that.”
Be on the lookout for news from Young Pioneers about our next event
The Young Pioneers and REV would like to thank everyone who attended our discussion on The Importance of Place with the Alabama Futures Fund, hosted at Harvest Market! REV’s mission is to create vibrant commercial districts and Young Pioneers supports that mission by helping create advocates for the City of Birmingham!

Former Indiana residents Brice and Vicki MacRoberts had a longtime dream of owning a business and wanted to move out of the city.
The couple stumbled across a campground located five miles north of Newberry and felt right away that it would be the perfect fit. After all, the MacRoberts love camping.
The business was Kritters North Country Campground, which had been listed by owners Larry and Kathy Bartolomucci and had been formerly owned by Dan and Cathy Clementz.
“This campground was a successful business, and we really knew this was the place we wanted to be,” Brice said.
The MacRoberts are from Crown Point, Indiana, near Chicago. Brice had worked in management for 24 years, and Vicki worked at a pipeline in East Chicago.
“Our town was small, and it just got larger and larger and grew to 33,000 people,” said Vicki. “It just didn’t have that small town feel anymore.”
The MacRoberts got that small-town feel as soon as they arrived in the area for the first time last summer. “Don’t get me wrong, I love my town and its people, but we wanted to live in a community,” said Vicki.
The couple started the process of purchasing the campground in July of 2022 and closed on the purchase in February. They are very excited for the coming camping season, which opens May 15.
So far, they have been through three seasons in the U.P. and have enjoyed summer, fall and winter.
The MacRoberts do not have a lot of changes in store for Kritters, though they are changing the name slightly. The name has been shortened to Kritters Campground. The new sign and logo will feature a porcupine.
One new feature for the campground facility will be an addition of a store to the office building. “We want to offer other things—I want to sell convenience items, souvenirs, and Kritters stuff,” Vicki said. Brice is currently remodeling the office area and they hope to have the store, which will be available to everyone, open by May.
Kritters Campground is situated on 40 acres of forest with a total of 50 pull-through camping sites for RVs, trailers, or tents. The campground will be open from May 15 to October, but will have lodging for snowmobilers during the winter. Year-round lodging facilities in modern cabins and a fully equipped cottage is available. The cottage boasts a full kitchen with two bedrooms and a bathroom. There are two cabins on site; both offer a queen-size bed, bunk beds, a kitchenette, and bathrooms.
Brice and Vicki ordered additional playground equipment and will be adding Wi-Fi to the facility.
“The campground was left pretty much turn-key ready, we just want to add our spin on things,” Vicki said.
Other features of the facility are nature trails and a sand volleyball court.
Now permanent U.P. residents, the MacRoberts are ready to explore and enjoy the many places of Northern Michigan. They visited the Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and Crisp Point Lighthouse last summer, and are ready to see more once they are settled in.
“The Upper Peninsula is gorgeous, and the people are so friendly and welcoming,” Vicki said. “That is the kind of life I want to live.”

The New Lifestyle Enclave Of Gamuda Gardens Esteem Offers A Nature Sanctuary With Acres For Horse Riding
The upcoming Gamuda Gardens township represents next level living with nature. It features rolling hills, horse-riding trails and a spectacular vista of waterfalls cascading into a series of five beautiful emerald lakes. The entire vision for Gamuda Gardens is translated across 810 acres of undulating terrain filled with serenity, sunshine, birdsong and community enrichment. Its master plan fulfils this promise with low-density homes and plenty of recreational acreage, with the added appeal of 50 acres of pet-friendly parkland.
The lake and park, which forms the spiritual heart of Gamuda Gardens, is the result of the adept hand of landscape architect Julien Hodson-Walker, Managing Director of Walrus Design. The firm’s past work involves some of Malaysia’s most popular green spaces and poshest projects; Desa Park City, The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Kuala Lumpur and on the the Putrajaya Urban Design Guidelines for several precincts. For Gamuda Gardens, its central park recalls the classical 18th-century designed Stourhead estate in Wiltshire, famed for its monuments, flora and conceived on the same rolling topography which Gamuda Gardens enjoys.
“Gamuda Gardens is anchored on the principle of preserving this natural heritage,” says Hodson-Walker of his approach. “A beautifully crafted, sustainable environment balances natural surroundings and biodiversity with extensive facilities – and being near the rejuvenating beauty of nature improves our innate sense of wellness, leading to a happier sense of being.” Small wonder then, that desirable green spaces have become a leading indicator of rising property values. Already, in the three years since, Gamuda Gardens has seen a flourishing biodiversity return to what was formerly a rubber estate, with migratory aquatic birds making frequent sojourns at its lake.
The credit for this restoration of natural ecosystems lies in a focused pre-development plan. The precious topsoil on site was stored for reuse, with a reintroduction of indigenous plant species soon after. Anchoring all this is the installation of a sustainable water management system to control run-off and protect the groundwater which nourishes the land. Meanwhile, the lake was regenerated with marginal wetland plants to stabilise water quality and promote biodiversity.
Strategically located at the confluence of the New Klang Valley Expressway, the Guthrie Corridor Expressway, the Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR) and the North-South Expressway, Gamuda Gardens seamlessly integrates this flourishing greenery with an unobtrusive minimal modernist architecture, resulting in an idealised living space existing at the equilibrium of man and nature.
The latest parcel to be launched in this township is Gardens Esteem, a precinct dedicated to those who dream of low-key living in nature’s sanctuary. Owners of its luxurious homes will appreciate an easy lifestyle with views of the calming lake from sunken-in living spaces. Through the intelligent multi-façade architecture, their homes will open out into the canvas of the Gamuda Gardens scenery; ranging from lush, whispering trees and water frontages to distant mountain ranges.
Within this gated and guarded precinct, you will enjoy the best of Gardens Esteem’s curated nature activities, from cycling on its scenic grounds, to exploring the nearby forest on horseback courtesy of its partnership with Olympics-standard equestrian experts.
Gardens Esteem also maintains a putting green for those looking to work on their short game, while badminton and tennis courts, as well as a FIFA-standard football turf offers additional options for those looking to channel their inner athlete. To unwind, you can choose to rejuvenate at the precinct’s own wellness centre, and tempt your palate at a diverse array of restaurants at its commercial hubs. A swanky Gardens Esteem Lounge is in the plans, aimed to offer all manner of indoor recreational activities exclusive to residents of Gardens Esteem with five-star facilities.
Back in the commodious home, you can enjoy outdoor family dining on cool evenings on your own private garden. Or head inside and kick back to movies in a living space enhanced by double volume ceilings, transitioning seamlessly from an indoor-outdoor experience.
The Gardens Esteem parcel also has the distinct advantage of offering concierge services to its residents, helping with all manner of services from arranging housekeeping, nursery, gardening and floral arrangements, to making reservations for dining, shopping and transportation connecting them to all the conveniences within Gamuda Gardens and beyond. Make the most of your days here by sharing the beauty of the space with family and friends. Imagine hosting a dinner party effortlessly, with catering, floral arrangements, and the set up faultlessly taken care of, followed by housekeeping services, all at your beck and call.
In this exclusive precinct, Gardens Esteem encapsulates many of the high points of community design and architecture of its master developer Gamuda Land. Its track record of developing opulent and sprawling accommodations includes the nearby Valencia community – which houses its own private golf course – to the lavish Madge Mansions in Kuala Lumpur’s diplomatic enclave.
All in, there is plenty to look forward to at Gardens Esteem, where life begins with the easy breezy lifestyle of living in one of the Klang Valley’s greenest townships, filled with the modern-day conveniences, and crafted for those who have come to love and appreciate the importance of their own space and being close to the great outdoors.

Hundreds of trees are to be felled as part of moves to uncover an ancient hill fort in North Somerset for the first time in 200 years.
Work has already started on clearing areas of the Worlebury Camp Iron Age Hillfort in Weston-super-Mare, which is currently on Historic England’s at Risk Register.
The work will see vegetation and tree growth removed to prevent further damage to the hill fort which is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The work, being carried out by volunteers and North Somerset Council and its contractors, has revealed new areas of the hill fort including some of the 93 storage pits and huge stone ramparts to the south and east of the site.
A conservation management plan is already in place to protect the heritage site.
Its main objectives are to remove the trees and vegetation that are causing damage to the archaeological features and to include new interpretation and signage to raise awareness and understanding of the monument.
The council has now applied to the Forestry Commission for a felling licence to remove around six hectares of woodland in the hillfort area and carry out thinning of the northern cliff by 30 per cent.
This totals five per cent of the 126 hectares of woodland in Weston Woods.
The area will return to limestone grassland with significant biodiversity benefits for the ecology of the area.
If the licence is approved the council will then apply to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for a grant to carry out the necessary work.
The restoration of limestone grassland will benefit not only the biodiversity but also the enjoyment of the hillfort.
By removing the trees and vegetation, views will be opened up to and from the hillfort, going some way to recreating the views that would have been seen in the Iron Age across Brean Down, Sand Point and the Bristol Channel.
It will also mean that the hillfort itself is more visible.
This approach is in line with the council’s re-wilding policy aimed at changing the way open spaces are managed to allow nature to reinstate a more natural environment and create new habitats to enable wildlife to flourish to help address climate change.
“Worlebury Camp is an outstanding and rare example of a coastal hillfort, retaining a high number of important features relating to life and death on the hill over 2,000 years ago,” said Alessandra Perrone, Heritage at Risk Project Officer at Historic England.
“For the past 200 years the principal threat to the survival of this exceptional monument has been the unmanaged growth of trees and scrub.
“The persistent erosion and gradual loss of physical heritage, combined with the decreasing visibility of the monument under the tree cover and its alienation from the town it overlooks, has resulted in its inclusion on the Heritage at Risk Register since 2016.
“In response, a programme of phased and selective vegetation clearance and restoration of a traditional maintenance regime has been proposed in order to protect the monument and enhance its significance, access and public enjoyment.”
North Somerset Council heritage and restoration champion Councillor John Crockford-Hawley said: “This important hillfort is part of our nation’s story, but hides under a canopy of trees and invasive ground cover.
“By removing non-native vegetation and restoring the site to its natural limestone grassland state we will all be able to fully appreciate the hillfort’s commanding position above the town and at the western end of the much larger Worlebury woodland.”
More information on the plans to safeguard the future of the hillfort can be found on the council’s website at www.n-somerset.gov.uk/hillfort.

Can addictive behaviour be altered? The concept of drug-evoked synaptic plasticity
This summary is based on the article published in the Journal of Neuroscience: Drug-Evoked Synaptic Plasticity Causing Addictive Behavior (November 2013)
The core element of the addiction process: an initially neutral stimulus becomes attractive when associated with drug consumption, and even after prolonged periods of abstinence this cue may trigger craving and cause the subject to relapse.
Therefore, many researchers have argued that the secret to understanding addiction lies in the elucidation of the “memory trace” that links the cue to the compulsive drug use. The implicit underlying hypothesis is that addictive drugs generate an inappropriate learning signal that leads to the encoding of a unique trace, which, when reactivated, has a strong behavioral impact.
Drug-evoked synaptic plasticity
While the requirement for increased mesolimbic dopamine (DA) may explain the acute reinforcing effects of addictive drugs, it does not provide an explanation for craving and relapse. After all, these key features of addiction manifest long after the drugs have been cleared from the brain. Given the established modulatory role of DA on glutamatergic and GABAergic transmission, the synaptic trace of addictive drugs may actually be expressed at these synapses and not necessarily involve a change in DA modulation.
The experimental demonstration of such a trace was achieved over a decade ago using a clever ex vivo approach. Briefly, slices of the VTA were prepared 1 d following a single injection of cocaine and glutamatergic transmission at AMPA receptor (AMPAR) and NMDA receptor (NMDAR) was recorded in VTA DA neurons. Since the number of synapses stimulated in this preparation is beyond the control of the experimenter, the ratio of AMPAR- and NMDAR-mediated synaptic currents was calculated and found to be increased after the cocaine treatment.
Subsequent investigations revealed that this early drug trace can be observed with all addictive drugs tested to date, including ethanol, morphine, and nicotine, but also amphetamines and benzodiazepines.
Emerging ideas for rational addiction treatments
- A more comprehensive understanding of the precise nature of circuit remodeling caused by addictive drugs resulting from specific forms of drug-evoked synaptic plasticity may help us to design novel rational treatments for the human disease. Such treatments may be pharmacological in nature or use neuromodulatory approaches such as deep brain stimulation or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
- Perhaps a more selective intervention would be to target specific areas of the reward circuitry, such as the NAc, with deep brain stimulation.
- Ultimately, the understanding of drug-induced plasticity at specific synapses must be furthered to develop a therapy that reverses plasticity and associated drug-induced adaptive behavior.

Arizona aerospace firms seek FAA approval to test unmanned aircraft
Arizona is among 37 states seeking federal approval for the testing of unmanned aircraft for commercial purposes. The Federal Aviation Adminstration will issue permits for drone operators in six states.
Drones already are used by the U.S. Army at Fort Huachuca near Tucson and to monitor security at the U.S.-Mexico border.
But, the Arizona Commerce Authority and some aerospace companies want permission to begin testing drones for business and civilian operations in other parts of the state. Brian Wimmer is president of the Thompson-Wimmer Defense and Space Company in Sierra Vista and said Ariz. has a good chance of winning FAA approval.
“This really puts Arizona on the cutting edge of having the first crack at testing new systems and solutions provided by all kinds of aviation companies," Wimmer said.
Wimmer said drones can be used to transport freight, shoot movies and fight wildfires, but the director of the Arizona American Civil Liberities Union said they are concerned drones could be used to collect people’s private information.
The FAA will announce which states get certification to test drones by the end of the year.

Alicia Callier M.A. ’16, a Berklee Valencia global Entertainment & Music Business alumni, recently got a job at Harmonix as a product manager last year through her ICE Fellowship. Harmonix is one of the world’s leading independent gamedevelopment studios, best known for creating the blockbuster video game franchise Rock Band. This past year, Alicia attended her first PAX West festival, a gaming festival, with the Super Beat Sports product management team. Super Beat Sports is one of Harmonix’s games.

This past August Berklee student Jonathan O’Neal and other Berklee students played at Elvis week at Graceland in Memphis, TN. Each August, Elvis fans from around the world gather for Elvis Week to celebrate the legacy of the King himself, Elvis Presley. Jonathan and his band reflect on the surreal experience they had performing at such a memorable and sentimental event:
I can still hear the voices of my professors in my head, “Everything is going to be different in the real world…It’s all about your connections and who you know…You have to be proactive and create opportunities for yourself…” While all those concepts made complete sense while I was still in school, they really started to make sense when the rubber hit the road as I started my internship this summer at Igloo Music.
Interning in New York City for a record label and management group this summer has been such a valuable experience so far. After studying Music Business Management at Berklee for a while, it’s great to be able to take the curriculum and finally use it in real-life situations. This summer I’m an intern at the record label and artist management group United For Opportunity / Invasion Group.
During my time so far, I’ve sat in on the meetings, worked on social media for the artists, posted tour dates across multiple platforms, and checked out artist that have reached out to possibly be signed. With each task, I get a glimpse into the process of managing and marketing artists, especially the work done in the indie genre using all of the technology available.
To state that living in New York City this summer is an eye opening experience would be an understatement. Having only been to New York for one brief occurrence before venturing here at the end of May, I had no expectations.
I anticipated my experience with New York to be positive, but I did not predict falling in love with the city. The culture, people, and overall variety the metropolis offers are enthusiastically electrifying. Part of my love for New York comes from my sincere interest in my internship with Tommy Boy Entertainment, a record label that gained notable recognition in the 1990s with the New York hip hop scene from legends such as Afrika Bambaataa, Queen Latifah, House of Pain, De La Soul, and Naughty By Nature. Every morning, I wake up eager to jumpstart my day and begin my duties as an amateur A&R and mix/mastering engineer for the record label.

text: Recently, a combined probe has been developed capable of simultaneous measurement of local tissue pO2 (fluorescence oximetry) and microvascular perfusion (laser Doppler flux) within the same local region. The aim of the current study was to test the utility of these combined probes to measure pO2 and perfusion in the kidney. Studies were performed in anesthetized, artificially ventilated rabbits (n=7). Baseline measurements of renal medullary perfusion and pO2 obtained using combined probes (537± 110 units & 28.7± 6.1mmHg, respectively) were indistinguishable from those obtained using independent probes (435± 102 units & 26.9± 6.4mmHg). Baseline measurements of renal cortical pO2 were also similar between combined (9.7± 1.6mmHg) and independent probes (9.5± 2.3mmHg). Baseline levels of cortical perfusion however, were significantly greater when measured using independent probes (1130± 114units) compared to combined probes (622± 59units; P<0.02). Relative changes in perfusion and pO2 resulting from graded stimulation of the renal nerves were not significantly different when measured using combined probes to those obtained using independent probes. We conclude that combined probes are equally suitable to independent probes for tissue pO2 and microvascular perfusion measurement in the kidney. Our results raise some concerns regarding the accuracy of these OxyLite fluorescence probes for pO2 measurement in the kidney, particularly within the renal cortex.

(with additional contributions from Margie Fernandez; edited by Joe Calhoun)
The Net Worth of Non-financial Corporate Business declined slightly in Q1 2017 according to the Federal Reserve’s Financial Accounts of the United States (Z1). The revised quarterly figures suggest that economic net worth eased to $23.62 trillion after a record high $23.69 trillion in Q4 2016. That likely relates to economic weakness to start the year, though not of any lingering concern given what is a well-established upward trajectory.
In using corporate net worth to estimate equity market valuations, however, the quarterly stumble means that under Tobin’s Q, valuations would rise sharply. The Z1 statistics estimate that the market value of corporate equities rose, gaining $1.18 trillion in Q1 alone. That was the largest quarterly increase for equities since Q4 2013. Truly “reflation” repeats.
The Q ratio, which had dipped under 1.0 for each of the past six quarters of the “rising dollar”, blows back above that mark being calculated at 1.04 for this latest period. It brings this measure of equity valuations back up to where they were at the start of 2015.
Our modified Q ratio, subtracting the market value of corporate real estate holdings from net worth, also rose sharply despite a small gain for estimated CRE. By whichever Q valuation measure, the market is pushing back toward levels comparable only to the dot-com era or the peak period at the start of the Great Inflation.
Other valuation methods show the same extreme levels. Robert Shiller’s cyclically-adjusted P/E is at its highest since March 2002. At more than 30 times adjusted earnings, that is about the same as valuations in the middle of 1997.
The use of CAPE as a comparison tool has been criticized lately – it’s different this time – but the real value in Shiller’s data is its length. Comparing valuations across 125 years of data gives one greater historical perspective.
A more accurate way to interpret the CAPE data series, as the Q ratios, is in the frequency of distribution. Before 1995, a CAPE of 31 was in the top 1/10th of 1% of all monthly data – practically only the very peak in 1929. But in the post dot-com era, such high valuations have become more frequent; indeed, the whole market valuation has shifted upward so that what was before in the top 1/10th of 1% resides today only in the top decile.
Since the CAPE data series matches quite well the Q ratios, we can reasonably assume similar interpretations. Valuations are clearly stretched, but over the last twenty years stock investors have become accustomed to that condition in a way that hasn’t ever happened before. Even the crashes in the dot-com era and the Great “Recession” failed to trigger complete mean reversion.
Today’s stock prices, in stark contrast to bond prices and yields, seem to embed an expectation that economic growth will accelerate in the future to justify today’s prices. Indeed, current valuations imply a rate of growth for an extended period of time that is highly unlikely given current workforce and productivity trends. Stock investors have been waiting on the Godot of growth for most of this century and one can’t help but wonder at what point they’ll get up and leave the theater.
One need not rely solely on Mr. Shiller’s methodology. Valuations across a variety of methods all tell pretty much the same story.
Earnings (as reported) on the S&P 500 index were for the first time since 2014 above $100 on a trailing-twelve-month (ttm) basis in Q1. But at a “fair value” of 15 times EPS, that would imply an index level of just 1,500 for the S&P 500, nowhere near 2,429 as of this writing. By every metric and method, stock prices, in general, are not grounded in the current economy.
Earnings and revenue estimates for Q2 are also coming down although still expected to show year over year growth of about 6.6% and 5% respectively. That is down from estimates of nearly 9% earnings growth and 5.5% revenue growth at the end of Q1. The downward revisions have been across the board, 10 out of 11 sectors, with energy showing the largest negative revisions. Energy though is still expected to show a large increase year over year. Ex-energy earnings are only expected to rise about 3%. Full year estimates are also coming down and Q1 may be the peak in year over year growth.
Improvement in earnings in recent quarters is mostly due to two factors: recovery in energy company profits and improvement in overseas earnings. As noted above, analysts are quite busy today reducing estimates for energy companies. And if someone can come up with a bullish case for oil that doesn’t depend on OPEC actually sticking to its quotas, we’d love to hear it. Energy company earnings are unlikely to show this magnitude of growth in future quarters.
On the international side, Q1 earnings growth at US companies with over 50% of their revenue outside the US was roughly double that of companies more domestically focused. It is a bit difficult to completely separate overseas from domestic earnings but earnings growth for non-US based companies certainly supports the case. Earnings growth in Europe was nearly 30% year over year in Q1 2017. Earnings in Japan doubled in Yen terms while Emerging Market companies reported earnings growth of nearly 28% year over year. And by the way, earnings growth estimates for all three are higher than the US for 2017 and rising in a lot of cases. Not to belabor the point but those markets are also cheaper than the US. And by the way, our current Alhambra Portfolio allocation is overweight international markets.
Like the late 1990’s, investors are paying up today in expectation of a tremendous positive growth shift tomorrow. Like those late ’90s investors they may get an actual shift in growth but it may not have the sign they expect. It is the denominator of the P/E equation that accounts for much of today’s pricey market. Prices aren’t actually up that much in the last twenty years. What’s been missing is the growth everyone thought the “new paradigm” would usher in.
The only thing missing from the mean reversion scenario is a catalyst. Unlike 2008 or the dot com era there hasn’t yet been any kind of spark to ignite the fear. In the former it was liquidations and margin calls that created the dramatic crash especially after July 2008; in the latter it was the rude intrusion of common sense brought about after many of the high flying companies of the era were finally seen as worthless, and therefore dangerous.
We don’t know what the spark will be this time around and in fact there may not be one. We feel confident in saying that today’s valuations are not supported by the US economic outlook. Workforce growth – or lack thereof – productivity growth – or lack thereof – and the continued deterioration of the Eurodollar market are not supportive of the growth necessary to justify current valuations. That means that future returns on stocks are likely to disappoint – but we don’t know how they’ll disappoint.
This time around is different in that valuations are more uniformly stretched; there isn’t one overvalued sector like technology in 2000. Any reversion to the mean will certainly not be like the 2000-2003 bear market when there were plenty of places to hide. And it probably won’t be like 2008 because global bank balance sheets have shrunk. But reversion to the mean will happen and all those buy and hold passive investors out there are going to be tested. How many of them will be able to weather multiple years of low or negative returns? Some of the most overvalued stocks in the market – in our opinion – are the Blue Chip dividend payers that everyone has bought as bond proxies. How much will that dividend matter if your principal is down by half?
Every bull market produces excesses that get reversed in the ensuing bear market and for this one the best candidate is the dumbing down of investing, the passive indexing craze. Indexing may not be the road to serfdom but it isn’t the yellow brick road either.

GARFIELD — A Clifton man has been arrested for a hit-and-run that left a pedestrian seriously injured in June, authorities said.
City police arrested Dwayne Chess Jr., 30, on Wednesday after a months-long investigation into the River Drive crash that left a 56-year-old man with “multiple broken bones amongst other injuries,” said Garfield Captain Richard Uram.
Police released a statement in June asking for help from the public in finding a driver that had fled the scene on the morning of June 20.
A 2016-18 light-colored, four-door Kia Forte was caught on video hitting the man, Uram said.
Chess faces charges of leaving the scene of an accident with injuries and assault by auto.

Foreclosure actions filed in Westchester County continued a five year decline to start 2018, while the number of court judgments on foreclosed properties continued to decline for the second straight year, according to the Westchester County Clerk’s office.
The 294 foreclosure filings registered in state Supreme Court in Westchester County from January through March represent a 7 percent decrease from the first quarter of 2017, the Clerk’s office reported. The 241 foreclosure judgements, meanwhile, is down 2.8 percent from first quarter 2017 numbers.
Filings have dropped significantly over the past five years, according to the Clerk’s office. Last year, there were 1,209 filings total, down from a peak of 2,696 in 2013.
Westchester County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni pointed to the numbers as an indication “that the days of massive refinancing and subsequent failures to meet obligations appear to have subsided.”
He called the report encouraging.
“We seem to be into a more stable financing market and resultant stability in mortgage payments,” Idoni said. “Reduced foreclosures are good for our homeowners and the community as a whole.”
The Clerk’s office provide first quarter figures for the past four years:
Year Filings Judgments
2015 569 267
2016 415 387
2017 316 248

HB 544: Banning Implicit Bias Training (Oppose)
Challenging white supremacy and dismantling systemic bias requires us to self-exam and confront our own biases, and the structures in which we operate, and apparently that was too much to ask for Republican House Majority Leader Jason Osborne. Osborne is a sponsor of HB 544, a near-carbon copy of the Trump Administration’s executive order last fall “to combat offensive and anti-American race and sex stereotyping and scapegoating.” Long story, short: Trump and Osborne don’t want anyone to learn about racism and sexism or to take steps to address it.
HB 544, prohibiting the dissemination of certain “divisive concepts” like unconscious bias related to sex and race
HB 544 defines and prohibits the dissemination of certain “divisive concepts” like unconscious bias related to sex and race. Under the bill, the State of New Hampshire shall not teach, instruct, or train any employee, contractor, staff member, student, or any other individual or group, to adopt or believe any of the divisive concepts – essentially banning things such as training on race or sex diversity, equity, or inclusion. The ban applies to all New Hampshire state agencies, contractors, and political subdivisions, including K-12 schools and public colleges and universities. The bill also states that no employee, contractor, staff member, or student of the state of New Hampshire shall face any penalty or discrimination based on their refusal to “support, believe, endorse, embrace, confess, act upon, or otherwise assent to the divisive concepts;” basically the bill provides a free pass for those who reject the reality of individual and systemic bias and its impact on social and institutional structures, and allows barriers to building a healthy and equitable society to remain in place.
Particularly now, after a year of reckoning and sustained mobilization around racial injustice, and as the COVID-19 public health pandemic lays bare the disproportionate health and economic impacts on people of color and women, this bill creates more hurdles to adequately responding. It contradicts core public health findings; promotes a narrative that portrays diversity trainings that address racism as dangerous; is ahistorical; and is so vague that it has a foreseeable chilling effect on legitimate trainings. (Points adopted from the Network for Public Health Law’s assessment of the Trump Executive Order.)
Now House Republicans have put this language into the State Budget, of all places, in order to try to pass it. Take action now! Contact your state legislators and tell them to oppose HB 544 and any versions of it in any bills!

The world’s first cast iron bridge was built over the River Severn in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire in 1779. It attracted visitors from all over the world, not just engineers and bridge builders but artists and tourists in general. The technique of smelting iron with coke was perfected nearby by Abrahm Darby who used the product to build the bridge.
This is a picture of the bridge in about 1800. You can see the large stone pillars either side supporting the bridge. As early as 1784 there were reports of the iron cracking as a result of the movement of the banks and the pillars or abutments sqeezing the bridge. These were removed in the early part of the 19th Century.
As soon as the bridge was built, a community started to form around it and the town of Ironbridge was born. Another one of my seven wonders and it’s just as pleasing to the eye, which is the main criteria!

text: Objectives To investigate the consequences of early administration of tirofiban after intravenous thrombolysis in early neurological deterioration in patients with branch atheromatous disease. significant distinctions in ratings in the UO group. The first neurological deterioration rates weren’t different between your two groups significantly. However, there have been significant distinctions in these prices at 72 and 120 hours. Both mRS ratings as well as the prognoses at three months differed between your two groups. Bottom line Early administration of tirofiban after urokinase-mediated intravenous thrombolysis decreases early neurological deterioration and increases the long-term prognosis of sufferers with branch atheromatous disease. check. The NIHSS scores at different time points were compared using repeated steps analysis of variance. The incidence of END at different time points was compared using generalized estimating equations. A test. Comparison of early neurological Rabbit Polyclonal to OR2T10 deterioration Neurological deterioration data are shown in Table 2. The extent of neurological deterioration over the first 24 hours after admission (END1 scores) did not differ between the two groupings (UO group: four situations [57.14%], UT group: four cases [40.00%]). Nevertheless, the level of neurological deterioration within the initial 72 hours after entrance (END3 KPT-330 ic50 ratings) was considerably different between your two groupings (UO group: six situations [85.71%], UT group: one case [10.00%]), as was the extent of neurological deterioration within the first 120 hours (END5 scores; UO group: six situations [85.71%], UT group: two cases [20.00%]).

Evaluation of prognosis and mRS ratings at three months The prognosis and 3-month mRS ratings are proven in Desk 4. The prognoses had been significantly different between your two groupings (great prognosis: one UO affected individual, eight UT sufferers; poor prognosis: six UO individual, two UT sufferers). The between-group difference in 3-month mRS ratings was also significant (UO group: 2.86 [2.00, 4.00), UT group: 1.00 [0.00, 1.50]). Desk 4. Evaluation of long-term prognosis between groupings. test. Debate This research uncovered that intravenous urokinase thrombolysis improved neurological deficits in sufferers with Poor over a brief period of time, but that neurological function deteriorated. However, urokinase coupled with tirofiban led to the continuing improvement of neurological function over a longer time. Thus, the first joint application of tirofiban and urokinase is crucial to decrease the chance of Result in patients with BAD. There was a big change in prognosis between your two groupings also, recommending that urokinase coupled with tirofiban may enhance the long-term prognosis of sufferers with BAD also. Globally, low- and middle-income countries keep a lot of the heart stroke burden.21 Intravenous thrombolysis using rt-PA is expensive, and it is often unavailable in economically underdeveloped areas so; the usage of urokinase provides economic advantages. Many studies have got reported that rt-PA will not reduce Result in Poor sufferers or improve 3-month mRS ratings.9,22 Furthermore, Deguchi et?al.11 evaluated eight Poor sufferers who underwent rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis more than a 5-calendar year period. Six (75%) exhibited improved neurological function within one hour after intravenous thrombolysis, but 4 (67%) acquired worsened neurological function within a day KPT-330 ic50 and two (25%) acquired 3-month mRS ratings of 3 to 6. These results suggest that rt-PA temporarily enhances BAD symptoms, but the degree of later sign deterioration remains high. In the present study, urokinase did not improve the early NIHSS scores of BAD individuals; four (57.14%) had neurological deterioration within 24 hours of intravenous thrombolysis. Such individuals, as well as those who deteriorate after standard therapy, are very difficult to treat. An early effective treatment is definitely consequently urgently needed. In our study, combined treatment with tirofiban administration and intravenous thrombolysis resulted in significantly different rates of neurological deterioration over 72 (END3 scores) and 120 hours (END5 scores) compared with UO controls, indicating that early administration of tirofiban and intravenous thrombolysis can efficiently reduce END in individuals. Antiplatelet therapy may efficiently counter both BAD and END. Yamamoto et?al.16 prescribed combined antiplatelet therapy for 313 BAD sufferers treated over 12 years, and discovered that cilostazol was far better for all those with basilar artery diameters of 200 to 300 m, whereas clopidogrel was far better for all those with bean-shaped arteries with diameters of 700 to 800 m. Furthermore, Kimura et?al.14 studied 144 Poor sufferers given cilostazol plus aspirin or clopidogrel within 12 hours of disease onset and discovered that, weighed against single antiplatelet therapy (aspirin or clopidogrel or cilostazol), early combined cilostazol-based antiplatelet therapy decreased END considerably. Platelet activation could be mixed up in pathophysiology of Poor hence, and may help describe END. Yokote et?al.23 reported which the platelet activation markers -platelet globulin KPT-330 ic50 and platelet aspect 4 had significantly elevated amounts in Poor sufferers. Furthermore, Oji et?al.1 investigated 64 Poor sufferers and revealed a high mean platelet quantity at entrance was an unbiased risk aspect for END;.

Dental Health & Diet
The Dental Benefits of Plant-Based Diets
When it comes to things you can do for the betterment of your teeth and overall oral health, we tend to think of brushing our teeth, flossing, and seeing our dentists twice a year for the best results. And to think of these things first is the best thing, considering they are the best possible ways to improve your dental health drastically if you’ve not been keeping up on them up until now.
But what’s beyond this? What other ways can we improve our dental health outside of the tried and true dental tools and toothpaste and seeing the doc?
For starters, there’s always the fact that you can drink more water than you think you already have. Water is amazing for your oral health in keeping your mouth hydrated, clean, washing away food debris, and warding off bacteria that thrive on dry environments.
But outside of that, one of the best things you can do for your oral health is switch up your diet for the better. And one way to do that is eat far more vegetables than you already have been.
I’m currently switching to a pescatarian diet, meaning I’ll be eating far more vegetables than I have in recent memory. But along with that comes a loss in the meat I used to consume, which can have implications on dental health.
So what are you supposed to do in this scenario? Vegetables and chewing them up actually can be a way to clean your teeth, especially in thicker-skinned vegetables that take longer to chew. Leafy vegetables also do the same trick in “swabbing” your teeth as you grind them, almost in a faux toothbrush sort of way.
The thing to be careful about is keeping track of your vitamin D levels. If you switch to a plant-based diet only, you’ll be losing out on a lot of valuable vitamin D, which is why I want to incorporate fish in my diet to make up for that lost from meat and animal products. Just as well, the omega 3 fatty acids from fish like salmon are incredible for your oral health.
One thing to consider when eating more plant based foods, though, is to be careful about the amount of fruit you consume. While fruit is definitely great for you and the sugars and acids in them are good for your stomach health, there are studies that show too much of these sugars and acids from fruits can actually be quite bad for your teeth. So, overall, try to keep your fruit consumption in moderation and even think about brushing your teeth afterwards (or washing it all down with water if you don’t have a toothbrush handy).

Most Powerful Fruit Combinations to Boost Your Immunity and Skin Health
The immune system is the body’s way of defending against infections, and it needs to be strong to fight off illnesses. But what if you’re not getting enough vitamin C? Turns out, combining certain foods can make you healthier.
To get a better understanding you need to visit the best dermatologist. Dr. Swetha is one of the leading dermatologist in Indiranagar. She can guide you with all the needed treatments to boost your immune systems and have healthy skin. Dr. Swetha’s cosmoderm is one of the best skin clinic in Indiranagar. With years of expertise in dermatology, Dr. Swetha is one of the renowned and best skin specialist in Indiranagar.
Foods that are known to boost immunity
- Blueberries and strawberries: These two fruits are rich in vitamin A, C, and potassium. All of these nutrients help the immune system and may reduce your risk for some cancers.
- Raspberries: Raspberries can also help to prevent cancer due to their high antioxidant content, but they also contain a good amount of fiber which will help you feel fuller for longer.
- Red grapes: Red grapes are an excellent source of vitamin K as well as folate and potassium. All three of those nutrients support immunity and bone health.
- Broccoli: Broccoli is a vitamin and mineral powerhouse. Broccoli is one of the healthiest veggies you can eat, with vitamins A, C, and E, as well as fiber and many other antioxidants. Cooking it as little as possible or better yet, not at all is the key to preserving its potency. Steaming is the greatest technique to maintain more nutrients in food.
- Garlic: Garlic is used in nearly every cuisine on the planet. It gives food a little zing and is beneficial to your health. Its importance in the battle against illnesses was recognized by early cultures. Garlic may also assist to prevent artery hardening, and there is some evidence that it can help decrease blood pressure. The immune-boosting benefits of garlic appear to be due to a high quantity of sulfur-containing substances like allicin.
- Kiwi: Kiwis are naturally high in folate, potassium, vitamin K, and vitamin C, among other essential nutrients. Vitamin C helps white blood cells fight infection, while the rest of the minerals in kiwis keep the rest of your body running smoothly.
Foods that are known to improve skin health
Antioxidant-rich diets appear to have a skin-protective impact. The following are foods that are known to improve skin health:
- Carrots, apricots, and other yellow and orange fruits and vegetables
- Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel.
- Green leafy vegetables like spinach
- Beans, peas, lentils
Combining fruits to increase the immune system
The practice of mixing foods has its origins in Ayurvedic medicine. Food is digested at different rates by your body. When compared to fruits and vegetables, meat, for example, takes longer to digest. Furthermore, digestive enzymes responsible for breaking down meat protein into amino acids differ from those responsible for processing plant-based diets. These claims are backed up by scientific evidence.
Bloating and general discomfort might result from eating two or more fruits with differing digestion demands. Melons, for example, contain more than 90% water and digest swiftly. They will ferment in the intestines if you combine them with avocado, which is high in fat and takes longer to digest.
It’s best to combine foods with similar qualities, such as apples and pears or oranges and grapefruit, for optimal digestion. This may aid with gut health, bloating relief, and the prevention of digestive pain. Furthermore, specific meal combinations can help to strengthen your immune system, reduce inflammation, and improve liver function.
The Role of Antioxidants
Antioxidants are natural chemicals that neutralize the activity of free radicals in the body. These free radicals attack cells and cause problems in immunity, cellular function, aging, and diseases. You need to have an adequate intake of antioxidants to combat this problem. Some good antioxidant-rich fruits include strawberries, blueberries, acai berries, and goji berries.
This article concludes that most fruits are healthy. There are some exceptions like dried fruit, fruit juice with added sugar, and canned fruit. There are many combinations of fruits you can use to boost your immunity and skin health. You can visit Dr. Swetha’s cosmoderm to have a better consultation. It is important to eat a wide range of fruits for the best results. You can mix berries, grapes, apples, bananas, plums, oranges, kiwi, pomegranate, apricots, grapefruits, and many more!

HyperTrack announced new features to its last-mile logistics platform to power advanced last-mile technology stacks across industries.
One such feature is the Logistics Map, a global map developed using tracking data from millions of orders that addresses specific requirements of logistics fulfillment and aligns with the ground truth behavior of delivery and gig workers.
Another feature is Orders API, combines the power of live location with order batching and routing into one API to help logistics teams plan, assign and track orders for on-demand and same day use cases.
And, Software Development Kit (SDK) powers applications across the globe for organizations managing deliveries, visits and rides for their fleets.
- Rather than be routed to a parking structure that is difficult and time consuming to navigate, delivery drivers will be routed to the most convenient temporary stopping zone using the Logistics Map.
- HyperTrack’s Logistics Map gives teams the ability to automate the correction of addresses and geofences, and provides the tools to intelligently identify service times and route deviations. With this granular map data, operations teams can capture service times and deviations quickly and use per-order data to improve overall performance and efficiency in the field.
- Orders API helps businesses batch and route orders by incorporating a driver’s live location and work status into a maximized fleet, increasing operational efficiency and improving the utilization of on-demand labor and gig workers, delivery drivers and field service workers completing orders.
- SDK integrates with existing applications and gives developers the tools to build systems that react to errors in real time. Upgraded with features that focus on driver behavior, the new SDK enables logistics operators to make immediate decisions based on live data from driver applications. Additional upgrades include push notification integration for iOS with improved battery usage and reliability.

You can do almost anything online these days: Check a bank balance, buy shoes, choose a mattress, order a cab.So when Roberta Caploe was ready to start dating again after a divorce, she didn’t ask her friends to fix her up or feel the need to frequent bars or health clubs.
“It was—unbelievably—not a crazy experience.” Online dating has certainly lost its lonely-hearts stigma.
Just look at how many people seeking dates or mates are flocking to matchmaking sites and apps.
According to a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center, 15 percent of American adults have used online dating sites (web-based platforms like Match.com) and/or dating apps (location-based smartphone apps like Tinder).
Participation by those 18 to 24 has almost tripled since 2013, and boomer enrollment has doubled.
In fact, people over 50 are one of the fastest growing segments.
“It’s a product of the growing normalcy of using social media apps,” says Moira Weigel, author of “Labor of Love: The Invention of Online Dating” (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2016).
“Our real-life and online identities are more and more interwoven.” Because of this cultural shift, online dating sites now have unprecedented reach into our lives. Reams have been written about online dating, but as far as we know, no one has put the sites to the test.
They are gatekeepers to a massive population of potential partners; they control who we meet and how. So Consumer Reports decided to survey almost 115,000 subscribers about online dating and their experiences with it.
Collectively, we spend huge sums of money on matchmaking, not to mention all the time and substantial emotional investment. Given that we usually rate products (like refrigerators) and services (like banking), this is new and fairly unusual territory for us.Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating


Level of DifficultyReally easy
Time to do repairLess than 15 mins
Age of ApplianceMore than 10 years

The repair was very easy, just had to swap out the old rail and replace with the new one.
What I really liked was "Part Select". I don't know what I would have done without them and their great selection of parts for older type appliances.
I found another web site which carried the part but their site did not identify the part well enough. "Part Select" had clear pictures of the part I was looking for, in fact they had multiple pictures of the same part. I was confident the part was correct.
The processing speed was fantastic. I ordered the part on a Tuesday and it was at my door on Thursday. You can't beat that for great service.
I was totally satisfied with Part Select and will order again. I would recommend Part Select to anyone needing parts for older appliances.
Thanks again, Part Select.

I have written business plans for all manner of industries: a coin operated jukebox company, airlines, travel companies, new product launches, and anti_aging product companies. It is not necessary to have a passion for the product or the company to write or develop a business plan. What you must have is a passion for aggregating information, getting involved with and understanding the service or product, and understanding the financials of the product or service. By financials I am not referring to having a CPA before you undertake the task, but rather understanding the presentation of the information and analysis/ numbers to support the activity being planned. Financials are important because they are the score card in the world of commerce.
A plan like this would show you how much sales your business would need to do, what your fixed and variable expenses would be, what your material cost, labor cost and profit would need to be to provide the income and profit margin you want. You can see pretty quickly if it's possible for you to get your business to that level. I don't know of any better way than to have your business give you the income and profit you want. What's neat is you can determine what you want your income to be and your profit to be over the next few years and develop a plan that can show you exactly what your business would need to do to give you that income and profit.

From Experience We Gain Knowledge:
Reflections on Changes in Health Care
Pat DeLeon, PhD. Past President of APA
A Seasoned Perspective, Perhaps: One of the advantages of becoming “senior” is developing an appreciation for how long fundamental change actually takes. Today’s insights are often the musings of the past. In 2003, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJ) published one of its anthologies, To Improve Health and Health Care. RWJ began operating as a national foundation in 1972 and by 2003 had grown into the nation’s fifth-largest foundation, with assets of $8 billion. Its mission is to improve the health and health care of all Americans. The then-retiring CEO reflected: “What drew me to medicine was a desire to do good, which came out of a family background steeped in humanism and social justice…. At the Foundation, we’re trying to improve access to care, create better-end-of-life care, reduce smoking, and the like. The results are hard to measure. Many factors contribute to the problems we are addressing…. One realization I’ve come to is that we tend to overemphasize strategy and underemphasize execution. A key component of execution is leadership…. I’ve come to rely less on academics as a stimulus for social change. It’s much more obvious to me that grassroots movements and the media and politics are very, very critical…. I think one of the unattractive aspects of our country is the relative lack of concern about the less fortunate…. I think we kid ourselves when we think there is one big lever. Social change is very hard work. The media – especially TV – has so much power, for better or worse….
“In the health area, we’re becoming more aware that many of the determinants of health lie outside the health care system. They depend upon personal behavior. Yet we have a nation that’s becoming more overweight and less physically active, and there’s growing evidence that physical activity may be as important in preventing illness and improving functioning as not smoking. Trying to change personal behavior, however, is very, very hard. We’re also beginning to understand that being connected to one another may have an important role in health.”
This Fall during our Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) health policy seminar, LTG Patricia Horoho, the 43rd U.S. Army Surgeon General (and the first female and first non-physician SG in its history — which dates back to July, 1775) expressed a similar view as to the importance of focusing upon the behavioral and psychosocial elements of health care, including sleep, nutrition, and exercise. Both of these health policy visionaries noted the importance of being willing to take risks and of appreciating the social and political context within which one is operating. The clinicians of tomorrow must appreciate, and effectively respond to, the ever-changing health care environment of today and that of the future.
LTG. Horoho’ s Congressional testimony: “Long term success in Army Medicine lies in our ability to effectively impact the ‘Lifespace.’ It is in the Lifespace where the choices we make impact our lives and our health. We understand the patient healthcare encounter to be an average interaction of 20 minutes, approximately five times each year. Therefore, the average annual amount of time spent with each patient is 100 minutes; this represents a very small fraction of one’s life. It is in between the appointments – in the Lifespace – where health really happens and where we desire a different relationship with Soldiers, Families, and Retirees. We need to reach beyond the physical boundaries of our medical treatment facilities. In other words, we want to partner with those entrusted to our care during the other 525,500 minutes of the year where people are living their lives and making their health choices.”
During the seminar, she also addressed the critical issue of paying for preventive and behavioral health services. Under her leadership, the Army has established an accountability metric which focuses upon patient outcome determinations, such as one’s body mass index (BMI), and thereby allows the system to provide “credit” to the health care facility and provider for the broadly defined health services rendered. This is a highly innovative approach which could well serve as a model for other governmental entities, as well as the private sector, over the next several years. The bottom line, “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and as a nation we must be responsive to the most up-to-date knowledge learned and not remain blindly wedded to the past, no matter how comfortable that might seem.
Systemic Movement Towards Integrated Systems of Care: One of the far-reaching philosophical orientations embedded within President Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the development of systems of seamless care, rather than relying upon historic practitioner-oriented, fee-for-service care. The Patient-Centered Medical Home and the Accountable Care Organization provisions of the law (in neither of which is psychology expressly enumerated in either the statute or implementing regulations) are envisioned as vehicles for providing a wide range of broadly defined health services which are to be delivered by interdisciplinary teams of providers, emphasizing prevention and wellness care, while utilizing cutting-edge technology. The Commonwealth Fund (CWF) recently released a report noting that the percentage of federally qualified community health centers (FQHCs) exhibiting medium or high levels of medical home capacity almost doubled between 2009 and 2013, from 32% to 62%. The greatest improvement was reported in patient tracking and care management, although their ability to coordinate care with providers outside of their system, especially with specialists, had reportedly been diminished.
The Obama Administration estimates that since the enactment of the ACA on March 23, 2010, which heavily relies upon Medicaid as its reimbursement mechanism, approximately 16.4 million uninsured people have gained health coverage with over 12.3 million Americans having been added to the Medicaid and CHIP roles. As Katherine Nordal has consistently stressed during her exciting APA/APAPO annual state leadership conferences, Medicaid remains the single largest payer for mental health services. FQHCs provide comprehensive primary care, behavioral health services, and dental care to all patients regardless of their ability to pay or their health insurance status. Created during the Great Society Era of President Lyndon Johnson, they are located primarily in medically underserved areas and are regarded as a core component of the health delivery system for low-income and minority populations.
In 2012, 21 million patients, the majority of whom were either uninsured (36%) or publicly insured (49%), made 85.6 million visits to the nation’s nearly 1,200 FQHCs operating in 8,500 sites. For example, in Hawaii each of the islands has at least one FQHC; one even offers innovative prescribing psychologist services. In addition to clinical health services, the center staff provide patients with insurance eligibility and enrollment assistance, case management, language interpretation, and transportation services. They also provide access to the nonmedical services that many low-income people need, such as nutritious food and supportive housing. The CWF survey found that a greater percentage of centers that serve as medical homes provide whole-person care, including mental health and dental services, which can improve patients’ overall health status and their ability to take care of themselves.
CWF identified 12 core functions indicative of medical home capability across six domains: patient access and communication, patient tracking and registries, care management, test and referral tracking, quality improvement, and coordination with external providers. A health center was considered to have high medical home capability if it could perform at least nine of the 12 core functions, medium capability if it performed six to eight functions, and low capability if it performed fewer than six functions. Between 2009 and 2013, the percentage of centers exhibiting high medical home capability more than tripled. In 2013, most centers (62%) reported a medium or high level of medical home capacity, whereas in 2009 only 32% did.
Transforming a practice to a medical home can be an arduous and painful process, with the changes required being disorienting and demanding to staff. Nevertheless, CWF found that 47% of health centers that met the definition of high medical home capability reported improved or much improved provider and staff satisfaction over the past two years, compared with only 39% of those with medium capacity, and 27% of those with low capacity. Those with high medical home scores also reported improved or much-improved ability to recruit and retain physicians, nurses, and support staff. This suggests that while high staff turnover may be a barrier to effective transformation, it is not necessarily a symptom of the transformation process itself.
A Grand Vision: Two of the true pioneers of the psychopharmacology movement, Elaine LeVine and Elaine Foster, have recently joined together to address the challenge of Global Mental Health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), half of all countries in the world have less than one psychiatrist per 100,000 people and a third of all countries have no mental health programs at all. While access and quality of care issues are extremely critical within the United States, they are even more striking in middle- and low-income countries. Our two colleagues have undertaken to provide expanded training for mental health providers worldwide utilizing the WHO concept of “task shifting.” Through expanded training for the health care workforce, the goal is to empower less specialized health workers, such as counselors and social workers, to better assist those in need.
In many countries, there are few medical practitioners or doctoral level psychologists available to provide care, and the populations they serve are so vast that they are often not able to provide day-by-day care services to their patients. Task shifting allows a mental health worker to make recommendations to a primary care provider regarding treatment options, based on augmented training in psychopharmacology, from a psychobiosocial perspective. The mission of their recently established nonprofit organization, RxP International, is to provide training in psychiatric medications as an adjunct to the many types of therapies that can be used in place of medicine. Helping midlevel practitioners gain the information and skills necessary is clearly a social justice concern with the focus being on teaching people to better help themselves.
Our colleagues have designed specific teaching modules that can be provided through distance learning and an open communication forum. These will target the most commonly diagnosed conditions such as anxiety, depression, and psychosis, along with special populations such as the elderly and children. Their online forum will be actively managed to assist student-providers in sharing their unique experiences and needs from their place in the world. These personal interactions will provide a better understanding of the mental health needs and interests around the globe. Their website can be accessed at www.rxpint.org for those who are interested in obtaining APA CE credit, by taking individual courses or pursuing a certificate.
Unique Perspectives: One of the most intriguing questions asked at our USUHS seminar was: Whether being the first nurse or the first female selected to serve as Surgeon General was more significant? From the perspective of a world-wide audience the answer was fascinating. “And if we get any knowledge, then we gain liberation” [George Harrison]. Aloha,
Pat DeLeon, former APA President – Division 29 – November, 2015

Providing your crated dog with something to do will significantly decrease their chances of attempting to escape as it eases boredom and takes their mind off being confined. Kong goes one step further and has made a chew toy that can house treats. Your crated dog will smell and hear that there is a treat inside and will endeavor to get access to it.
Disclosure: Woof Dog is a small blog that sustains itself through commissions we receive from brands that appear on this site. Woofdog.org is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Read full disclosure Here.
Remember to measure your pet for the paw-fect fit. Frisco XX-Large Heavy Duty Double Door Dog Crate is constructed to be strong and durable while providing your pet with safety, security and comfort. Two large doors — one on the front and one on the side — are easy to open, close and securely lock, with three latches on each. Durable drop-pin hinges keep your pet safe and secure. And an included plastic base pan sits on the bottom of the crate for easy cleanup and for your dog’s comfort. No tools needed for assembly. And with a protective, black electro-coat finish, it's made to last.
Most models come with wheels – they are mandatory. Some models don’t, and we advise you to avoid them as moving them around is a real hassle, especially if you travel often. Crates with wheels will allow you to easily transport your pooch no matter the circumstances. For the less portable solution, you might as well go with an outdoor kennel or a good quality playpen.
Unlike the Impact, the Zinger Winger no dog escape crate uses solid metal steel bars for its door. Dogs will often choose to attack the door, knowing it is both the way he gets in and out. It is important that it is tough and secure. This robust solution works well here. It has a quality locking mechanism. This one uses two flush-mounted slap latches to ensure a secure close. It also uses a full length piano hinge plus striker plate. Its design also allows for reversible door installation. So it’s great for left-handers as well as right-handers.
But secure containment should not equal neglect. Your pet has mental and physical needs too. She can last for up to 8 hours without needing to relieve herself. However, apart from the extreme exceptional circumstance, you should be giving your dog a break outside the crate at least once in 4 hours. You should also have allowed her to get some exercise before crating. She should also have access to water.
- Exclusions: Cat toys; Orijen, Acana, Taste of the Wild pet food, Hill's Pet Nutrition food and treats (Hill's Prescription Diet, Hill's Science Diet, Hill's Ideal Balance and Hill's Bioactive Recipe); select Pro Purina brands (Pro Plan, Muse and Beyond); Petsafe Brands (PetSafe, SportDOG, Frolicat, Drinkwell, Solvit', ScoopFree, Pet Loo, Gentle Leader, Mr. Herzher's and Piddle Place); Educator E-Collars; Playology; Dollar per Gallon tanks, 50% off or more tanks; PetcoOne and WholeHearted Memberships, Repeat Delivery orders and subscriptions; out-of-stock items, prior purchases, Donations, Petco Gift Cards and eGift Cards.
Say goodbye to dog crate storage woes, and say hello to the Impact Collapsible Dog Crate! This crate is made with high quality .063 American aluminum covered with a durable powder coat that adds extra strength and prevents corrosion. The powder coat also helps reflect heat away from your animal, keeping them cool on hot days. Our aluminum is tough enough for the heaviest chewers, and is also very lightweight in nature. In fact, our crates are 20% lighter than crates with similar designs. This crate easily collapses into less than eight inches tall, and can be set up or taken down in seconds.
