Palpation Techniques: Surface Anatomy for Physi...
PHTH 104 - Surface Anatomy, Palpation, and Massage (TP/SS only) In-depth exploration of surface anatomy and palpation of structures essential for physical therapy practice. Students are introduced to joint movement terminology and performance. Massage techniques are presented along with tests and measures necessary for the safe application of range of motion and massage techniques. PREREQUISITE(S): A grade of C or better in BIOL 150 . COREQUISITE(S): PHTH 102 , PHTH 112 , and PHTH 113 . One hour lecture, two hours laboratory each week. Formerly PT 104.2 semester hours Course Outcomes: Upon course completion, a student will be able to:
In order to make an accurate differential diagnosis of CECS and apply treatment, it is important for clinicians to quickly and accurately locate the IOF and associated structures during the clinical examination [11, 12]. Previous studies using cadaver dissections of the leg have been performed to identify the relationship of the ATA to the tibia  and to measure the length and width of the IOF for surgical interventions . However, no studies have been performed to identify the surface projection of the IOF and ATA in the proximal leg with palpation.
Light palpation is used to feel abnormalities that are on the surface. You use the front of your fingers to gently press down into the area of the body about 1 to 2 centimeters. Then lift your fingers off the body and move to the next nearby area. This helps identify the texture, tenderness, temperature, moisture, elasticity, pulsations, and masses.
Context: Musculoskeletal palpation is taught in our athletic training programs as part of the injury evaluation process. However, as palpation skills are taught, the focus is oftentimes on accuracy of surface-anatomy landmarks instead of the ability to discriminate qualitative information such as tissue tone, spasm, or pain response from the soft tissue. Because palpation is foundational for evaluation and intervention, a need exists for further development of this skill.
Athletic training programs are proficient in developing a clinician's ability to accurately palpate surface-anatomy landmarks. However, students and entry-level clinicians likely need additional practice to develop advanced palpation skills such as tissue discrimination and force application during joint mobilizations. When students are introduced to drills and activities to develop qualitative palpation skills, they should, with practice, become better clinicians prepared to administer advanced evaluation and treatment techniques.
A 1-day workshop was conducted on living (surface) anatomy for practicing physiotherapists (n = 27) through a CPD program. This training included manual muscle testing and body painting of selected muscles of trunk and limbs. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to analyze the impact of the module on improvement in participants' knowledge and skills. In addition, participants were requested to respond to a questionnaire (15 items) on a 5-point Likert scale.
Analysis of the pre- and post-test scores revealed a significant increase (34.6%) in surface anatomy knowledge. Majority of the participants opined that the workshop was organized effectively (100%) and the modules helped them to become aware of the lacunae in their knowledge (100%). They also echoed that they realized the need for continuous self-directed learning (100%) and responded that they would attempt to apply whatever they learned through the workshop in their clinical practice (96%). The overall satisfaction score reported by the participants was 9, on a rating scale ranging from 1 to 10 (1 = very poor; 10 = excellent).
In reviewing the functional anatomy of spinal block, an intimate knowledge of the spinal column, spinal cord, and spinal nerves must be present. This chapter briefly reviews the anatomy, surface anatomy, and sonoanatomy of the spinal cord.The vertebral column consists of 33 vertebrae: 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 4 coccygeal segments. The vertebral column usually contains three curves. The cervical and lumbar curves are convex anteriorly, and the thoracic curve is convex posteriorly. The vertebral column curves, along with gravity, baricity of local anesthetic, and patient position, influence the spread of local anesthetics in the subarachnoid space. Figure 1 depicts the spinal column, vertebrae, and intervertebral disks and foramina.
It would be incomplete to discuss surface anatomy without mentioning the dermatomes that are important for spinal anesthesia. A dermatome is an area of skin innervated by sensory fibers from a single spinal nerve. The tenth thoracic (T10) dermatome corresponds to the umbilicus, the sixth thoracic (T6) dermatome the xiphoid, and the fourth thoracic (T4) dermatome the nipples. Figure 6 illustrates the dermatomes of the human body. To achieve surgical anesthesia for a given procedure, the extent of spinal anesthesia must reach a certain dermatomal level. Dermatomal levels of spinal anesthesia for common surgical procedures are listed in Table 5.
This course provides an introduction to the study of human structure by presenting an integrated approach to the normal human body. Western anatomy and acupuncture energetic anatomy are bridged in this course that emphasizes musculoskeletal anatomy through lecture, palpation and movement. Major landmarks are described and are related to interior anatomical structures, emphasizing key acupuncture point location with physical assessment. Human skeletons, anatomical charts, models and full color digital images will be used for demonstration. After completing this course, students will understand human structure at cell, tissue, organ, system and organism levels. Throughout knowledge of human structure will be a foundation for further study of physiology, patho-physiology, western medicine and acupuncture.
Data on palpation pressures used during the study were obtained using a FlexiForce tactile force sensor device (Tekscan Inc, South Boston, Mass). FlexiForce consists of an ultra-thin, flexible force sensor connected to force measurement software installed on a standard personal computer. The sensor used in the present study had a measurement range of 0 to 11.43 N/cm2, occurring in gradations of 0.09 N/cm2. The surface area was 0.71 cm2 with a thickness of 0.2 mm. 041b061a72

Calibration and Maintenance of Coating Thickness Gauge
The coating thickness gage has been favored by many people due to its advantages such as high stability, small measurement error and convenient operation. The coating thickness gauge may seem simple, but if it is not operated properly, it will also measure the result with a large error. Therefore, in the application of coating thickness gages such as manufacturing, it is important to master the method of use in order to obtain more accurate data.
How to calibrate the coating thickness gauge? Although different coating thickness gauges have different measuring principles, the basic calibration operations are not very different. In general, two methods, single-point calibration and multi-point calibration, can be used to accurately calibrate the instrument. At present, the instruments on the market that only require zero-point calibration without multi-point calibration are Chinese brand Linshang coating thickness gauges and German Qnix coating thickness gauges. Most instruments require zero adjustment and multipoint calibrations.
Zero calibration: It is to perform zero calibration on the metal substrate of the product. First select a zero plate, which is an uncoated metal substrate. Secondly, zero calibration, then press the probe vertically and smoothly on the substrate and press the adjustment button on the instrument to automatically perform the zero calibration. The last step is to repeat the above steps to obtain a more accurate zero point and improve the measurement accuracy.
Multi-point calibration: Use standard plates for calibration. First, the zero point should be calibrated first. And secondly, a measurement is performed on a standard film having a thickness approximately equal to the expected thickness of the measured cover layer and then the reading is corrected. Finally, the measurement is performed by covering with multiple standard films and then the reading is corrected in order to reach the standard value.
Learning to calibrate the coating thickness gauge is only the first step. If you want to use the coating thickness gauge (paint thickness guage) for a long time, you must pay attention to its maintenance.
Coating thickness gauge maintenance
Select a suitable storage environment. You should avoid storing the coating thickness gauge in an excessively humid environment and at the same time clean the surface or side of the instrument in time to avoid covering with dust or other dirt.
Battery care. If the coating thickness gauge is not used for a long time, take out the battery. When selecting a battery, try to choose a high-quality battery to avoid leakage and cause corrosion of the host of the thickness gauge.
When the instrument has abnormal conditions, do not disassemble or adjust any fixed assembly parts, it should be handed over to the manufacturer for repair in time.
The above is the introduction of the calibration method and maintenance method of the coating thickness gauge. The coating thickness gauge plays an indispensable role in production and life. Therefore, mastering its calibration operation method and focusing on instrument maintenance can make it bring more convenience for our lives.

Well, it’s October the 7th, which means that it’s my HitRECordiversary today :] One whole year! & let me tell you: it’s been an amazing one.
This has probably been the most productive, creative, inspired, exciting, eye-opening year. I’ve done things that, without HitRECord, I never would have done. I never would have had the courage or the motivation or the inspiration to do such things. I mean, I've actually done work that I'm proud of! [For the love of RECords, I made a stop motion! Me! Who’d have thought it?!] There’s really only one things I owe it to, & that’s the people in this beautiful community.
In the year I’ve been a part of this community, all I’ve received is encouragement, motivation, inspiration, congratulations, & all the things that make me smile & want to do more. When I first discovered HitRECord, I looked through all the RECords, scrolling & clicking & gazing in awe, I told myself I was crazy, and signing up would be absolutely mental, because I could never produce or even think of the things that people seemed to do so with ease and a smile on their faces. But then I took the first step and joined, hoping beyond hope that this would be something I could learn from and find myself in.
Long story short: You people—yes, you—you are all AH-MAY-ZING. Seriously, you guys are just beyond anything I could have hoped for on HitRECord. You’re the people who put stars in the sky, make sunset & sunrises, paint colors into clouds, add joy to life, and then turn around & tell me “Come on! Make something beautiful with us!” & even though it doesn’t work, or just flops, there’s always people to push me right back up to try again.
Also, collaboration is an amazing thing. I can be inspired by anything here & just work from that, build on it, spin ideas around it, and I can collaborate with the artist! How awesome is that?! You don’t need to ask for permission or be careful of looking like you just colored in someone else’s work, because it’s still cool to do that. & I’ve discovered that, for me, it feels like there is no greater honor than to be Remixed.
This is where I’d like to add just a special thank you to a few people. Firstly, I most definitely need to give a MASSIVE thank you to the painty lady who introduced me [unwittingly] to HitRECord. That is, I want to thank paintyhands, Miss Lula, so very, very much. It was through her that I first really discovered HitRECord, and she really opened me up to a world where I could act on the inspiration I gained, rather than just sitting there taking in the art of it all. I gained a new perspective because of Miss Lula, and I am forever grateful to her for being her painty self and inspiring me in so many ways.
From paintyhands, I discovered Metaphorest. I first heard of her when I listened to ‘Lemonade,’ which is a beautiful song to listen to and experience. Miss Sarah really was the lady who brought me to the decision to join. I read her gorgeous MMM scripts, listened to her songs, and really just thought that if there was anything I wanted to be exposed to, it was this. It was the magic woven into prose, music, images, and incredibly strong friendships between HitRECorders acquired through HitRECord.
Of course, there has to be a gigantic thank you to Mr Bossman, so: Thank you, Mr RegularJoe! He’s created not just a website, a production company, a creative space, but a community where the most wonderful souls can be found and inspiration is passed around & collaborated with between everyone.
& last, but most definitely not least, I’d like to thank every single one of you stunningly, beautifully, amazing people who I absolutely love for everything you’ve given me in this glorious year. Really, without you guys, it’d just be another plain old year. I'm not going to name all of you, because there are SO MANY of you, & really every single person has given me something that I cannot thank them for enough. I try to tell you all as much as possible that you're all absolutely beautiful, & even then it's not enough.
So, there's my super-cheesy, kinda cliche HitRECordiversary thank you :]
Lav, lav, lav.

text: After a good three hour drive we got to Bourges to play the Printemps de Bourges Festival. The weather was great and we had quite a bit of time to kill before soundcheck – so I took myself off for a little walk around the festival grounds. There were so many cool stands and bands to check out it was hard to know where to start. After walking around for a while and eating some lovely food I got to check out some cool bands soundchecking – incl. Plaid who I really like. After soundchecking we still had quite a bit of time to kill so I got to check out Arctic Monkeys and deUS which was a nice little bonus. Our show was really great too. We had a blast on stage and the crowd was brilliant. Got to meet up and and hang out with a few familiar faces after the show too which was nice!

Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN Convention Center Hotel New York City
This hotel was awful!
dont stay there. we found a TOE NAIL IN THE BED.
the corridors reek of smoke.
curtains are decorational (and ugly) not functional.
no room service.
no change at reception for vending machines.
no bellboy to help carry bags down flight of stairs.
slow check in.
overall - dont stay there!
This hotel is a dump. . . located in a dumpster area!
Good value, modern, clean
The hotel is a modern, steel & concrete mid-rise with low prices and solid Best Western service, including clean rooms and a continental breakfast. What's nice is that you can actually open the windows, and they don't look out onto air shafts, since it's the tallest building on the block.
The block, as others have written, is not what a typical tourist expects from New York. The nearest convenience store is two blocks away, as is the nearest upscale restaurant. But that doesn't mean the neighborhood isn't interesting, even if there are a couple of "dead' spots crossing highways. The block itself is the taxi repair shop district, with 24-hour garages and people coming and going all the time---so it's absolutely safe. The smell you might get on rare occasion is from the horse stable a couple of buildings away, where the horses from the Central Park carriages hang out. The ferries to gentrifing Jersey City and funky Hoboken (with great restaurants) are two block away, and the Javits Convention Center is one block away.
This might not be the neighborhood if you have young kids or are out of shape and aren't up for walking (but then why are you in New York anyway if you're not walking?), but it truly is 10 minutes to Times Square or Madison Square Garden, 5 minutes to the restaurants on 9th Avenue in the increasingly funky Hell's Kitchen, and no more than 10 minutes to stations on the 8th Ave subway. I flew into Newark Airport, took the bus to Port Authority Bus Station, and walked the 5 or 6 blocks easily to the hotel at night.
The rooms are quiet---I couldn't hear any of the other guests' TVs---and the street noise quieter than most hotels (the AMTRAK trains don't seem to run at night if you're on the south side of the building, where they occasionally toot their whistle.)
Given the price and amenities, this is a great hotel if you're willing to stay off the beaten tourist track.
Previous reviews are right - the room is small, but this is probably the best you could get from $80 per night...in Manhattan! i agree that their bathroom is clean and tasteful!
i had a great experience with the front desk. When my fiance an i arrived, it was about 10:30 a.m. i asked the front desk if we could store the luggage somewhere, and that we probably won't be able to make it back before 4 (the check-in time). You know what she did? She checked us in! 10:30 in the morning!! So we were able to refresh a bit and then start our city adventure!
Forgot to check her name, but she was a pregnant (i think so) African American lady.
Complimentary breakfast is cool. i stayed at one Best Western in upper Michigan, but don't remember if they had the same breakfast. At Best Western Convention Center Hotel, there was a toaster that we could warm up bagels and bread. All kinds of herbal tea, fresh apple juice, whole milk, different kinds of corn flakes and fruit loops, and muffins. Whenever something ran short, the hotel staff came back with more.
It is indeed an iffy neighborhood. A few blocks from subway, but if you do not mind taking bus, the hotel is on 38th St between Amsterdam and Broadway. If you walk to Amsterdam, there is M11 going up Amsterdam; if you walk to Broadway, there is M42 going to Time Square, where you can transfer to a few of subway trains and buses. If you walk alone and are hesitant to, do not walk on 38th street. Instead, try get off the bus on 40th, and walk major blocks down (like Amsterdam).
If you come in New York by plane (either LGA or JFK), you will probably have to pay at least one bus fare ($2 or $4). Then try to get a Metro Card at a subway station ($7/per day, $21/per week), then you can tranfer unlimited buses and subway trains in NYC.
When we checked in, i did not specify we wanted a non-smoking room, so when we stepped on the eighth floor, we could smell some smoke. So if you want to stay there, make sure you specify you want a non-smoking room.
Overall i had a great experience with Best Western Convention Center Hotel. By the way, i got the deal from Priceline.
Very handy for Jacob K Javits convention center...
What can I say, for 105 Euros a night you can't complain. Small (by US standards) room but not in comparison with other (much more expensive)hotels in which I have stayed in Manhattan. Clean, though my colleague - a smoker - said her room was a bit iffy. It is a bit of a walk to the subway, but during the day that's fine - the area is not crawling with dodgy characters. I walked back to this hotel at 3am without feeling threatened, but I guess you wouldn't want to do that as a woman alone. Staff friendly enough and very helpful trying to connect my laptop to their broadband internet connection (but it didn't work!). Easily hailed cabs in the area - just not right outside hotel. Walk up to 10th or 9th Avenues and hail there, no problem. Breakfast very simple - bagels, tea, coffee. Plastic plates etc. I would stay here again for the price and the location near the convention center, but if you want to be right in the middle of the action, or can't walk more than 10 minutes without complaining, then look further. As I said, for the price you cannot complain.
If you are 73 and reading this then yes the walk is relative!
Well I stepped of the subway at 42nd Street weary from a long journey anticipating the worse, gangsters, hustlers and druged up tramps. we trundled our way with wheelie suitcases on tow the 10 minute walk through the streets we stood out a mile as tourists, before spotting this very new hotel amongst garages, the fire station and Pork shop. As i showered and slipped into bed i was happy and content to be staying in a clean and friendly atmosphere. the next morning we started our three day tourist assalt on the big apple, i am a thirty five year old overweight unfit lady who drives to the local shop. At times i whinged as my feet started to hurt but this was more to do with cueing for three hours to go up the empire state building, touring cental park and shopping! be realistic if you cant walk too far get a taxi, if not hey i survived! so can you. ps Telephone charges in the Hotel are a rip-off.
Great Hotel in iffy neighborhood
Ended up at this hotel through Priceline...Wonderful room for the price, especially in Manhatten..Great and helpful staff. My only concern was the neighborhood. I was nervous walking to the hotel after dark, and it is quite a distance to the subway and busses. You can get a cab to the hotel, however you will be hard pressed to hail a cab in front of the hotel. Overall, you will be pleased with the accomadations..small but tasteful rooms..
Too far away
The hotel itself was nice. Clean, decent size room. It is fine when you're not spending much time in your room. Continental breakfast doesn't start until 7 a.m. - should have started earlier. Hotel was not able to retrieve a taxi for us. Location is too off the beaten path.
You'll feel pretty safe during the day but not at night. The subway is too far away - once you walk there you might as well keep walking. The bus line is not reliable. If you stay here, you need to take a taxi and as I said earlier, the hotel couldn't get us a taxi. I also wouldn't call this a convention center hotel.
Bait & Switch
This hotel is terrible. We made a reservation here for a double room, and then they put us in a single room and claimed it was a double room. The single room was inadequate for the number of people in our group. Furthermore, all appeals to the hotel staff were met with ridicule and calls to the manager went unanswered. I would recommend not staying here nor making a reservation with this establishment; it's a risk not worth taking. Requests for the appropriate room-rate based on accommodation were not accepted.DO NOT STAY HERE
Exceeded my expectations
I concur with other reviewer(s). This is generally a nice little hotel. The property is new, staff efficient and helpful. We were allowed to check in a little early with no problem.Because it is New York City, the rooms are small by US standards. However, the decor was new and far more stylish than I expected. Bathrooms too were compact, but the marble tiled floor was an unexpected nice touch!The continental breakfast was simple, but again, more than I expected.Ok, now the disadvantages. The location is crummy. It's surrounded by auto repair shops and parking lots. Different people have different perceptions of safety, but I did not feel "unsafe". The auto shops were usually active, and the repairmen would be chatting on the sidewalk and left their shops open to the street. My opinion is that an area feels safer to me if there is activity- I don't like being in a place where I'm totally alone. Another plus is that there is a Fire Station down the street, which is always occupied, so that has benefits.Surprisingly, this was a generally quiet place. There was not much street traffic, so the usual NYC horn-honking and truck noise was distant. There was a railroad track nearby, I noticed it but it wasn't bothersome. I sleep with the HVAC unit on, and I like the quiet whir of air which drowns out other sounds I also sleep very soundly.If you are in good health and like to walk, then no problem. Penn Station, Port Authority Bus, Subway, and 42nd Street are all a 10 minute walk. Head north up 8th or 9th Ave for breakfast options and anything else you need.In summary, not a bad deal for the money. Try priceline, we got a great deal.
Good Hotel not so great location!
The BW Convention Centre is just like any other Best Western Hotel. Clean rooms, excellent bathrooms and good facilities. The hotel also offered a free continental breakfast and at £50.00 a night was fantastic value. The only downside was the location which is not very close to a Metro station, and has little in the immediate vicinity other than garages! But with all the money we saved we were able to get taxis each evening anyway.. the most we paid was $6! All in all I'd recommend it as a fantastic bargain but be prepared to walk alot or fork out for taxis!

Great service, efficient, comprehensive menu and cheap ... Limo to JFK , lots of traffic due to UN meeting in town .. ...
... made up for it. Incredible! Althought it means a lot more to americans and baby boomers i was still grooving to the tunes the whole time with a smile on my face, especially when little baby michael jackson stepped on stage and killed it!Almost 3 hours of entertainmet more than surely made up for the price we paid and the seats we got.

by Respite Welk of the Pultenham County Recorder
Four empty barrels that had previously contained a potentially explosive substance were found Friday morning in a field owned by Mr. Cletus Ford of Owen Township, according to Pultenham County Sheriff Cecil Morgan. The barrels appear to have been empty when abandoned, giving rise to questions concerning the whereabouts of the chemical.
Mr. Ford noticed the empty barrels while working behind his chicken coop and, after inspecting the barrels himself, decided to call the authorities. “I thought maybe they'd have something in them,” said Mr. Ford. “I was hoping for some liquor or maybe pesticide, but I don't got that kind of luck.”
Sheriff Morgan has said that he will conduct a thorough investigation throughout the county in hope of finding the source of the barrels as well as the person or persons responsible for discarding the barrels on private property. “This kind of gall-darned shenanigan is a class three misdemeanor, and I'm gonna nail the c**k-sucker who done it,” said Sheriff Morgan in a prepared statement this afternoon
Anyone with information regarding the barrels should contact Pultenham County Sheriff Cecil Morgan immediately.

MyFitnessPal, Under Armour’s app for tracking exercise and diet, sets out to answer that very question. The app’s blog has released a report called “How to Eat Like a Successful MyFitnessPal User” that details its findings on how real people lose weight.
MyFitnessPal analyzed data from UnderArmour’s 150 million users to find common diet trends among successful users, defined as those who have set a weight-loss goal and are within 5 percent of reaching it.
Users generally had similar calorie goals and ate similar percentages of fat, carbohydrates, sugar and protein. But there was one notable difference between successful users and everyone else. They ate 29 percent more fiber on average. However, their fiber intake still fell below the daily recommended amount: 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men.
What other foods were popular with successful dieters? These users favored nuts and healthful oils, such as avocado oil and coconut oil. In comparison with the rest of the MyFitnessPal population, they ate 10 percent more olive oil, which studies have found to be full of health benefits.
Successful users ate 10 percent more yogurt and almonds, but consumed less meat (11 percent less) and eggs (13 percent less). They also ate lower percentages of grains like bread (9.6 percent less), pasta (12.75 percent less) and cereal (20 percent less).
You can read the full report and view the infographic of 12 foods and their popularity here. It seems for those resolving to lose weight, go with fiber and (good) fat.

Why More Homebuyers Are Opting For Fixed Fee Conveyancing In Melbourne
The process of buying a house can be an exciting and stressful experience. One crucial aspect of this process is conveyancing, which involves the transfer of ownership from the seller to the buyer. In Melbourne, more homebuyers are opting for fixed-fee conveyancing services due to the several benefits it offers.
Fixed fee conveyancing provides transparency in terms of costs involved in the process, giving buyers peace of mind knowing that they will not incur any unexpected charges. Additionally, fixed fees provide an incentive for lawyers to work efficiently as they do not get paid based on billable hours. As such, fixed-fee conveyancing has become increasingly popular among homebuyers who want certainty regarding their costs while also ensuring timely completion of the legal aspects associated with their purchase.
Understanding The Concept Of Fixed Fee Conveyancing
Fixed fee conveyancing is a concept that has gained popularity among homebuyers in Melbourne. It involves paying a fixed amount of money to the conveyancer for their services, regardless of how much time they spend on the transaction. This method differs from hourly rate conveyancing, where clients are charged based on the number of hours spent by the lawyer or conveyancer.
One advantage of fixed fee conveyancing is that it provides certainty and transparency regarding costs. Homebuyers can budget accordingly without worrying about unexpected bills. Additionally, fixed fees eliminate conflicts of interest between lawyers or conveyancers and their clients since there is no incentive to prolong the transaction to increase billable hours. However, one major drawback of this system is that if complications arise during the transaction process, additional charges may be incurred.
When comparing fixed fee and hourly rate conveyancing models, it's important to consider various factors such as the size and complexity of transactions. For instance, smaller transactions with fewer complexities tend to benefit more from fixed fee pricing than larger ones which require considerable legal work. On the other hand, hourly rates might be preferred when dealing with complex issues like property disputes because they allow for flexibility in billing according to specific needs.
Overall, fixed fee conveyancing offers several benefits over traditional hourly rate models such as cost predictability and transparency for consumers. Nonetheless, its suitability largely depends on individual circumstances such as transaction complexity and monetary value involved. Therefore, homebuyers need to evaluate both options carefully before making any decisions regarding their choice of conveyancer or solicitor.
Transparency In Legal Fees
Having understood the concept of fixed fee conveyancing, it is imperative to discuss transparency in legal fees. This section will delve into why transparency in legal fees matters and how it benefits clients, holds lawyers accountable, and promotes market competition.
Transparency in legal fees ensures that clients are not faced with unexpected costs or hidden charges. By opting for a fixed fee conveyancing service, homebuyers can rest assured that they know exactly what they are getting for their money, without any surprises. This provides peace of mind to clients who may be experiencing stress during the buying process.
Lawyer accountability is another significant benefit of transparent legal fees. Fixed fee conveyancers must work efficiently within the given budget to deliver quality services to their clients. Clients have a right to expect value for their money and fixed-fee conveyancers must be held accountable if they fail to provide this. Transparent pricing encourages lawyers to work harder and smarter while keeping client satisfaction at the forefront.
Finally, promoting market competition is yet another advantage of fixed-fee conveyancing services. When law firms offer transparent pricing structures, clients can compare prices easily between providers and make informed decisions about which firm best suits their needs. This competitiveness drives innovation within law firms as each strives to offer better quality services at competitive prices. In turn, this creates an environment where there is greater access to affordable legal solutions for all consumers seeking conveyancing services.
Budget-Friendly Option For Homebuyers
Fixed fee conveyancing has become a popular option among home buyers in Melbourne due to its budget-friendly nature. With fixed fees, homebuyers can avoid the uncertainty of traditional conveyancers who charge hourly rates and may accrue additional charges throughout the process. This predictable pricing structure allows buyers to plan their budgets accordingly and prevent unexpected expenses.
One advantage of opting for fixed-fee conveyancing is that it provides transparency and certainty about legal costs from the outset. Homebuyers can obtain an accurate quote upfront, which means they do not have to worry about any hidden costs or surprise bills at later stages of the transaction. However, one downside to this approach is that some firms offering fixed fee services may only provide a basic level of service, with extra charges added on for any additional work required.
Alternative options such as DIY conveyancing or using online services are also available to budget-conscious homebuyers looking to save money. While these alternatives offer significant savings potential compared to traditional solicitors’ fees, there is a higher risk of errors occurring during the process. When considering all options available, homebuyers need to weigh up both pros and cons before deciding what works best for them based on their specific situation and requirements.
Ultimately, fixed fee conveyancing offers a cost-effective alternative suitable for many homeowners in Melbourne seeking reliable legal support while keeping within their budget constraints without sacrificing quality or convenience. By doing thorough research into various providers' offerings beforehand and carefully comparing prices alongside levels of service provided, prospective buyers can find great value in choosing fixed-fee conveyancers over more expensive alternatives offered by traditional law firms.

Streamlined And Efficient Legal Process
While fixed fee conveyancing may seem like a budget-friendly option, some potential homebuyers might be hesitant to choose this service due to concerns about the quality and efficiency of the legal process. However, opting for fixed-fee conveyancing in Melbourne can offer time-saving benefits and streamline the legal process.
With fixed fee conveyancing, solicitors are motivated to work efficiently and effectively to complete transactions as quickly as possible. This not only saves valuable time for both buyers and sellers but also ensures that there are no hidden costs or unexpected fees down the line. As a result, customers can experience higher levels of satisfaction with their overall home-buying experience.
Moreover, by eliminating hourly billing rates and charging one set price upfront, fixed fee conveyancers provide transparency in pricing which is crucial when making any financial decision. Homebuyers can trust that they won't encounter any surprise charges later on in the transaction process. All of these factors contribute towards providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for those looking to purchase property in Melbourne.
Increasing Popularity In Melbourne's Real Estate Market
The rising demand for fixed-fee conveyancing in Melbourne's real estate market can be attributed to various factors. Market trends indicate that more homebuyers are seeking transparency and certainty when it comes to budgeting for their property transactions. Fixed fees offer a clear cost structure, which eliminates the possibility of hidden charges or unexpected expenses.
Moreover, traditional conveyancing services often involve complex billing structures based on hourly rates or disbursements. This creates uncertainty around the final costs associated with purchasing a property, making budgeting more challenging for homebuyers. In contrast, fixed fee conveyancing offers clarity and peace of mind by providing clients with an upfront quote detailing all costs involved in the transaction.
Aside from offering transparent pricing, fixed-fee conveyancing also has other advantages over traditional conveyancing methods. For instance, it provides quick turnaround times as lawyers who specialize in this service can prioritize client needs and manage their workload effectively. Additionally, having a set price allows for better financial planning not only for buyers but also sellers who must factor these costs into their asking price.
In summary, rising demand for fixed fee conveyancing in Melbourne signals a shift towards greater transparency and efficiency within the real estate market. With its many advantages over traditional methods such as clearer pricing structures and faster turnarounds, it is no surprise that more homebuyers are opting for this convenient option.

Ed Dzialowski, a developmental comparative physiologist who studies the similarities and differences of anatomy and physiology between species, is conducting cardiopulmonary research that could assist the treatment or prevention of a common birth defect in premature infants.
Funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, he and his research team are studying the ductus arteriosus -- the fetal artery connecting the aorta and pulmonary artery. The ductus arteriosus allows blood to detour away from the lungs before birth. In healthy, full-term newborns, it closes shortly after birth. In infants born prematurely, it often does not close, causing a condition known as patent ductus arteriosus, or PDA, which requires medical intervention that may require surgery to close the blood vessel.
“I’m interested in how the cardiovascular and respiratory systems develop and function,” Dzialowski, professor of biological sciences and associate dean for research and graduate studies, says adding his research is focused on the cellular pathways that are involved in the constriction of the ductus arteriosus and how those pathways develop.
He’s hoping to find an alternative treatment to surgery by using drugs to stimulate the contractile pathway. His team is examining at what stage in fetal development the blood vessel is triggered to close after birth and what makes that happen.
“We are looking at a pathway that works in other smooth muscles, but it hasn’t yet been explored in this blood vessel,” Dzialowski says that they’re asking “What is the timing of the development of those pathways and what pathways are important or have to be in place in order for the blood vessel to respond properly for it to close at birth?”
The main goal of the NIH study is to look at a specific pathway, actin polymerization, and its role as a potential pathway involved in ductus arteriosus closure. Dzialowksi’s team is looking across species to compare and understand when during development the pathway first appears as a mechanism for closure.
“An interesting thing about this blood vessel is that it’s found in the embryonic or fetal stage of all land vertebrates – amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals,” Dzialowski says adding he uses birds, chickens in this case, as models in his research because the pathways he is studying are very similar in birds and in mammals.
Birds develop in an egg, and researchers can easily control and monitor the environment of the fetus as it develops. The same is true for reptiles, and Dzialowski has looked at the ductus arteriosus in alligators during previous studies. Once they find the answers in birds, the research will need to be confirmed in mammals. The results from this study will provide new targets to explore for successful intervention of a PDA in humans.
“In gaining a better understanding of the pathways and how they work, we hope to learn how to better treat PDA,” he says.


Hits & Misses
(Business 2.0) – [HIT] A pattern for profits. Here's a classic yarn about an old-line business learning to move at Internet speed: After Martha Stewart was photographed leaving prison in a hand-crocheted poncho and revealed in an online chat that a fellow inmate used Lion Brand yarn to make it, e-mail inboxes at the 127-year-old textiles concern overflowed with requests for the pattern. Marketers at Lion Brand paid a freelance crocheter $500 to re-create the poncho and then posted instructions on its website days before any of its competitors followed suit. More than 600,000 users downloaded the pattern, which requires about $20 worth of Lion Brand yarn to make. As a result, Lion Brand saw sales jump 39 percent in the two weeks after the design was posted.
[HIT] For the sequel, how about $12.5 Million Baby? Anyone who's anyone in Hollywood knows the rule: Always sign your next deal before the buzz from your last hit dies down. Now you can count boxing equipment maker Everlast Worldwide among the anyones, as the company followed its starring role in Million Dollar Baby with a five-year women's apparel licensing deal with Jacques Moret International that guarantees it $2.5 million in annual royalties. Everlast's fancy footwork has been a knockout on Wall Street too: In the four months after the movie's debut, its stock tripled to more than $13 a share.
[MISS] Pink slip for the Queer guy. Pier 1 may be having trouble moving merchandise these days, but it could run one heck of a seminar on the perils of celebrity endorsement. After a lackluster three-year campaign featuring style-challenged Kirstie Alley, Pier 1 went in the opposite direction, signing up personality-challenged Queer Eye for the Straight Guy designer Thom Filicia. That campaign went so poorly that in the third and final ad, rather than trying to get Filicia to emote, the spot had him just wordlessly pushing around furniture. Pier 1 parted ways with its agency, Campbell-Ewald, and declined to renew Filicia's contract. "It wasn't worth the $1.5 million or whatever we paid him," says Pier 1 CEO Marvin Girouard. Left pitchless for the holidays, Pier 1's same-store sales fell 9 percent from the previous year.
[HIT] I like big bucks and I cannot lie. When it comes to picking music, wireless carriers are a lot like radio stations: The ringtones they promote come straight from the top of the charts. Great for flavors of the month; not so great for anyone else trying to cash in on the ringtone craze. So what's an old-school hip-hop artist like Sir Mix-a-Lot--pushing a ringtone remix of "Baby Got Back" called "Pick Up the Phone"--to do? Mix-a-Lot turned to "mobile brand management" firm Versaly Entertainment, which picked up the phone and worked its relationships with direct-to-consumer marketers. The top source of sales: those obnoxious late-night Jamster commercials on MTV and BET. The ringtone went gold in seven weeks, selling 500,000 units at $2 a pop.
[HIT] To boldly promote what no marketer has promoted before. Ad agencies often promise clients the moon--but rarely do they mean it literally. Nonetheless, Euro RSCG helped Volvo achieve liftoff with a clever promotion for the automaker's XC90 SUV: a contest that awarded the winner a seat on the first commercial launch of Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic. Not surprisingly, 135,000 would-be astronauts entered the giveaway after it was launched with an ad aired during the Super Bowl. More surprisingly, 60,000 of them also requested information on Volvo cars, and more than 1,000 placed preorders. Volvo says the sales leads and publicity it received as a result of the contest were worth $5 million--more than twice what it spent on the 30-second Super Bowl spot.
[MISS] Introducing our new line, Kopikatt. Swedish home-furnishings giant Ikea likes to promote the provenance of its cheap yet comely goods, often devoting catalog space to the designers behind them. But no glory will go to the creators of Ikea's mini flashlight, which raised ire in the offices of Mag Instrument, maker of the iconic Maglite. Mag filed a trademark infringement suit in Sweden, and in March won a ruling against Ikea. The home-court penalty had to sting: Ikea said it's considering an appeal of the $629,000 judgment.

It just so happens that the usual week for my monthly blog post also falls on Mental Health Awareness Week. It seems as if mental health is everywhere at the moment and that's a good thing isn't it? Everywhere we look there's news about mental health charities, TV programmes broadcasting about the benefits of therapy and even the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge are raising awareness with their new text service Shout. We should be encouraged to speak out and seek help when we need it and this is something I've advocated in many of my previous posts, however, for some it's not that simple.
Sometimes taking that first step is the hardest - whether it be admitting there's an issue or knowing where to find the help. But you're not alone. I see many clients come through the door who think they shouldn't be there, they're weak or that it's not a big problem and they're just making it out to be. My reply to them always is "why not? It's how you feel".
We are in the midst of a society that tells us we have to be perfect, to achieve, failure isn't an option and that we need to be available at all times. But the result of this is a generation that's feeling anxious, angry, burnt out and feeling like failures, which has also included me at times. This idea that failure not being an option often translates into the therapy room as by seeking help it means that the client has failed to manage the situation themselves. I wonder if you can think of a time where you've sought help from someone else? Does that mean you've failed? Why does a situation where you need help or support equal failure? It doesn't so then why does seeing a therapist mean that?
I work with clients to accept themselves as people that can fail and will at some point. It's part of human nature and the world we live in. I've often heard the phrase "second place means first place loser" which indicates how ingrained this has been in some people's belief systems. Failure isn't a dirty word and can be something to help us move forward and become more emotionally tolerant people. By ridding our demands for not failing or being perfect you're accepting yourself for who you are whilst increasing your tolerance to disappointment. It's not always an easy task but life isn't easy at times. By feeling like you're able to cope, accept things for what they are and feel strong enough to cope with them leads to better emotional health.
Please know you're never alone, there are people out there such as friends, family & trained professionals that can help support you and work with you to get through this. Don't suffer in silence and know that just because you may have failed at something it doesn't make you a total failure.
My clients often inspire me with their determination, effort to make change and their progress (no matter how big or small). I am privileged as a therapist to be able to work with clients, watch them make changes to their life and accept themselves for who they are. It's a huge reason why I love what I do and everyone that walks through the door is taking that first step.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch should you feel like you need additional support or want an informal chat.
Till next month

The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust Cardiovascular Translational Research Center, which will include the Helmsley Molecular Research Center and the Helmsley Clinical Investigation Center, will use sophisticated gene therapy to repair damaged heart muscle, employ genetic tests to screen patients for risk assessment, and perform clinical trials to provide innovative patient therapies. The grant also will be used to complete the Freedom Trial, a five-year study led by Mount Sinai Heart director Valentin Fuster that is designed to help clinicians determine which treatment options for cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients are most effective.
Following Leona Helmsley's death in 2007 from congestive heart failure, the trust has focused much of its grantmaking on health and medical research initiatives. Earlier this year, it awarded $37.5 million to Mount Sinai Heart and the Center for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
"With the support of the Helmsley Trust, we are in a position to truly excel in research and to have a direct impact on patient care," said Kenneth L. Davis, president and CEO of the Mount Sinai Medical Center. "The breakthroughs — both scientific and clinical — that the Helmsley Center will foster will usher in a new era for Mount Sinai Heart."

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s podcast, Awards Chatter, Jolie was asked about working alongside then-husband Pitt on By the Sea, which she wrote, directed, and starred in.
By the Sea was the couple’s second project together since meeting on 2005’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Jolie admitted that she made their second project as a means to “communicate” with Pitt.
“We had met working together and we worked together well. I wanted us to do some serious work together, I thought it would be a good way for us to communicate,” she said.
Jolie continued, “In some ways it was, and in some ways, we learned some things. But there was a heaviness probably during that situation that carried on and it wasn’t because of the film.”
By the Sea deals with a couple 14 years into their marriage who are growing apart due to communication problems, intimacy issues and fertility struggles.
During the interview, Jolie pondered why she wrote the movie and what its purpose was in her relationship.
“A piece of art can be something that’s healing or something that’s difficult,” Jolie said.
She continued, “I’m glad we did that film because we did explore something together. Whatever it was maybe it didn’t solve certain things, but we did communicate something that needed to be communicated to each other.”
In the months following the Brangelina divorce, both Pitt and Jolie have been candid about their marriage.
“Things got bad,” she told Vanity Fair in July. “I didn’t want to use that word … Things became ‘difficult’ …We’re all just healing from the events that led to the filing.”
The two share six kids — Maddox, 16, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11 and 9-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

We are really excited to launch the Your Accessibility Guide portal.
Listening to the lived experience and expertise of disabled people is at the heart of everything AccessAble does. For almost 25 years everything we do, from the information we collect to the design of our website has been decided through engagement and co-production.
Over the past few years, we have seen increasing numbers of disabled people contacting us to say they are facing a postcode lottery when it comes to accessibility information.
At the same time, we have had significant numbers of businesses and venues across the UK asking to join our service, particularly SMEs.
The challenge was finding a solution that would be cost effective for SMEs, could be deployed nationally and would crucially maintain the highest quality.
The Your Accessibility Guide portal is our answer.
The development of the portal has been entirely self-funded by AccessAble. Our goal is to tackle the postcode lottery facing disabled people and to help businesses and venues, regardless of size or location, provide the accessibility information disabled people have told us they need.
A business can visit the portal to find out why having a Detailed Access Guide is so important, what the process involves and the likely cost.
A big part of this new approach is the offer of Guided Assessment.
What has set AccessAble apart, over the past quarter century, is our team of experienced surveyors. Every venue on www.AccessAble.co.uk has been assessed by a member of our surveying team, they represent 50% of our workforce. To accurately assess accessibility requires comprehensive training and a survey tool that directly reflects the needs of disabled people.
AccessAble has spent almost 25 years developing this tool to ensure its information is trusted and relevant to as many disabled people as possible.
Over the last year, AccessAble has explored how video technology could enable the expertise of our surveyors to be utilised in a different way, with a particular focus on micro businesses and SMEs.
After a significant research and development investment, and comprehensive trials, AccessAble will offer a Guided Assessment option for small to medium sized venues.
AccessAble has been clear about the dangers of self-assessment throughout its history and our commitment to specialist assessment is unwavering. The crucial thing about the Guided Assessment approach is that the assessment is still carried out by the AccessAble surveyor.
The person taking the video call at a venue is in effect the eyes and hands of the surveyor, they show the surveyor around the venue, but the surveyor still makes the assessment and collects all the details. There are some aspects that cannot be determined on a video call and as a result these are not collected.
Large venues cannot be assessed via Guided Assessment due to their size and complexity. As a result, these venues will only be offered the option of an On Site Assessment.
We are thrilled to announce that VisitEngland be promoting the portal as their recommended route for tourism and hospitality businesses to provide quality assured accessibility information. We also look forward to working with the newly formed Local Visitor Economy Partnerships (LVEPs) in England, wherever possible.
If you are a disabled person or carer and would like to suggest somewhere to be included, you can contact us at [email protected].
Be sure to follow our socials over the coming weeks to understand how you can get involved.

Dutch scientists from the Habrecht Institute, the Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, and Maastricht University have examined the effects of coronavirus on cell culture models in the human intestine and the response of these cells. When the coronavirus was added to the genome of these cells, it soon became infected and the number of infected cells increased suddenly.
According to experts, many patients suffer from other symptoms of COVID-19 such as nausea and diarrhea, as well as detection of viral particles in the stool, and the data obtained from this study indicate that the virus can spread through something called “transmission”. Oral stool virus “, meaning that the virus in the stool of an infected person can be transmitted to a healthy person by this stool.
On March 11, the World Health Organization announced that an outbreak of the Corona virus, a new epidemic, is a global pandemic. According to the latest data from the World Health Organization, the global death toll of those infected with Corona Virus has exceeded the ceiling of 3.3 million cases, while the death toll is close to a quarter of a million people.
The United States remains first in the number of deaths and patients, and there is a large disaster system in place.

We all know that the holidays can be stressful with the many demands of shopping, baking, parties and the expectation that you should be filled with cheer and goodwill. This is all daunting under the best circumstances, but if you are also losing your vision to eye diseases such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy, the depression can increase.
6 Tips to Help With Holiday Stress
Being realistic, planning ahead and asking for help will let you deal with the stress and depression that may come with the holidays. Here are six tips that will help you deal with the pressures of the holidays, with additional tips for those with vision loss.
- Begin by realizing you don’t have to be happy just because the holidays are here. You may have experienced a loss of someone close to you that makes celebrating the holidays hard.
With vision loss: You may miss seeing or putting up decorations; baking for friends and family; or seeing the joy and smiles of loved ones. You can’t force yourself to be cheerful because of the time of year.
- While the common reaction to depression is stay home and isolate yourself, don’t, it will only make you feel worse and dwell on things you cannot change. Join friends when they ask you out, find community events to attend or volunteer. Sharing time with others can provide a welcome distraction and lift your spirits.
With vision loss: It is common to be uncomfortable with asking friends and family for a ride, but if they are attending the same party of community event, ask them if you can get a ride. They won’t mind a will be glad you are there. Worst case, call a taxi or use Uber.
- Don’t expect perfection. You need to define for yourself what would make a great holiday and not let the media and retail stores tell you what the holidays should be. Also remember that your traditions will change as your family changes and grows. Look at this as an opportunity to be creative and start new traditions.
With vision loss: Scale your holiday to what is comfortable to you. If fewer decorations make it safer and easier for you to navigate around your home, then reduce the number of things that go up to a few larger items you can enjoy more easily – you can even “decorate” with holiday music.
Even traditions may need to change. Allow someone else to host the family or neighborhood celebrations. It is nice to pass the honor on and you won’t be so stressed and tired you can’t enjoy the festivities.
- Plan ahead so you don’t feel the pressure. This refers to budgeting both time and money.
• Plan extra time for decorating, shopping, baking, wrapping presents, or any other activity you want to include. Rarely do things run smoothly, especially at holiday time.
• Decide how much money you can spend, and stick to it. To make money go further, give homemade gifts, start a gift exchange instead of shopping for everyone in your family or office, or make a donation to a charity in someone’s name.
With vision loss: The same concepts apply – you need to budget your time and money.
- Don’t over extend yourself and learn to say no. If you don’t you may become resentful and overwhelmed. Friends and family will understand if you can’t do everything. If your guilt gets the better of you, ask the person making the request to help with the tasks. They will gain a new appreciation of what you do.
With vision loss: Don’t be afraid to let people know that you may not be able to do things as easily as you could in the past. No one, except you, know the limitations you have with your vision. It can be very uncomfortable for others if they think they are asking too much of you, and you could become resentful for being asked to do something beyond your capabilities.
- Stay healthy. The best way to do this is to watch what you eat and drink, get plenty of sleep, continue any exercise routine you have and take time to relax.
• You will be tempted with lots of sweets and snacks. Try eating something healthy like cut veggies before you go to the party to curb your appetite. Remember to limit your alcohol because of the calories and the fact that it is a depressant.
• Sleep will keep you alert and better able to focus what you want to get done and will help keep you more positive.
• Exercise is a great way to help relieve the stress you feel, give you an extra burst of energy and help you clear your head.
• Taking 15-20 minutes to just listen to music, take a bath, go for a walk or read book can help you think more clearly and relax. You will actually get more done when you can “re-charge” yourself.
With vision loss: Everything listed above is good for good eye health. A good diet of brightly colored fruits and vegetables and exercise are very important. Being tired can affect how well you see, and stress has been known to have an adverse effect on a person’s vision.
Because of the busy holiday season, this month we will only be publishing once a week, on Tuesdays.

Welcome to part two of this blog series called Reflecting on the Year: Ideas on How To. Last week, we talked about why reflecting is important. I encouraged you to think about why it’s important to you and what you’d like to get out of it, among other things. Today I’ll share a few questions you can use to get started in the reflection process.
1. What went really well in the past year?
You know, the victories. The surprise things that worked out better than you thought. The good stuff!
2. What has not gone as planned this year?
The unexpected. The disappointments. The things that simply didn’t go as intended. Or weren’t intended at all.
3. Why did these things not go as planned?
The more honest you are with yourself, the better.
4. What do I want my career/business/life to look like in one year?
Think in terms of areas, not details. What do you want to be evaluating and celebrating in a year?
5. With whom am I in relationship already and with whom do I want to be in relationship to achieve my goals in the coming year?
People can make us or break us. Think strategically, not emotionally.
6. What should I be saying “no” to, delegating to others, or simply not doing anymore?
This can be a tough question to answer. It might involve making some lists, clarifying job descriptions, and viewing your own time as valuable. Not always an easy feat.
7. Based on these reflections, what direction do I choose for the coming year?
Create some goals. How will you measure progress? Use your calendar to help you decide how to spend your time.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. Come back next week as we wrap up with looking at what to do with the insights you gain.
