With spring just around the corner, greater attention to personal health should be at the top of our list – and not just for cardiovascular patients. While the role of nurses as role models for optimal health and healthy lifestyle behaviors is highly promoted and desired, recently published data suggests that we may be missing the mark with adverse effects not only for nurses but also for their patients.
the association between nurses' perceptions of wellness support and their health.
A survey was designed and refined based on a panel of content experts and included questions about physical and mental health, depressive symptoms, anxiety, stress, workplace wellness support, and medical errors made in the last 5 years. Brief validated questionnaires were incorporated into the survey to measure these components.
Most of the participants were women (94%), non-Hispanic white, and married with the average age around 44 years. All nursing education levels of preparation were represented with the majority having a Bachelor's of Science or Master's degree, and most worked 12 hours or longer in their typical workday.
Over 54% of the nurses reported a physical health and mental health score considered suboptimal, and around a third reported depressive symptoms, anxiety or stress at concerning levels. Remarkably, nearly half of the nurse reported having been involved in medical errors in the past 5 years, with the occurrence of medical errors significantly higher among nurse in poorer health. This was true for all the health measures of physical and mental health, and scores on the depressive, anxiety and stress scales. Additional analysis revealed that nurses with the worse health had a higher likelihood of reporting medical errors than did the healthier nurses with depression a strong predictor of medical errors.
These data are alarming and point to the need for attention on the individual nurse and health care system level. While the stress of clinical nurses has been well described in other studies, this one links health status to an important variable in patient quality and safety. Personal health and lifestyle behaviors to overcome the stress of clinical nursing are essential. Physical activity, healthy eating, and appropriate sleep are well-documented approaches for improving health and attenuating stress.
Another important finding is that nurses who perceived their workplace as conducive to wellness were more likely to report good health. Thus, worksite wellness and building a culture of well-being to support good physical and mental health in their clinicians is a priority for health care institutions. Clinician health is a national issue which has sparked the creation of an action collaborative on clinician well-being and resilience, found at the National Academy of Medicine.
PCNA members can lead the way by evaluating their own health and lifestyle behaviors and leading worksite wellness committees and policy groups.

SAI Retreat and 10th Anniversary Celebration
The South Asia Institute Retreat, held on Friday, September 27 at the Harvard Faculty Club, was an opportunity for select faculty, students and senior administrators from across Harvard, faculty from peer institutions and donors to meet and reflect on SAI's role at Harvard and South Asia in light of its ten year anniversary, and to discuss SAI's future direction.
The University showed its support for SAI, and South Asian Studies more broadly, with welcoming remarks by President Drew Gilpin Faust, and the participation of Alan Garber, Harvard University Provost, Krishna Palepu, HBS Professor and Senior Advisor to the President of Global Strategy, and Leah Rosovsky, Vice President of Strategy and Programs among some of the senior faculty and administrators. Tarun Khanna, SAI Director and and HBS Professor welcomed the participants and introduced SAI with a screening of the video which highlights its role at the University and in the region.
Faculty, including Diana Eck, Jennifer Leaning, and Venkatesh Murthy, presented on interdisciplinary projects related to the Kumbh Mela, Global Health, and Science, Engineering, and Technology, respectively. These interfaculty initiatives, catalyzed by SAI, engaged faculty and students from multiple schools, and the larger community both in the United States, and in the region.
One of the resounding messages of the retreat was SAI's unique position as a platform for connecting and executing cross-disciplinary research and collaboration which deepens the inquiry of unexamined issues and harnesses the collective knowledge of Harvard and the world. Faculty discussed additional ways that SAI could continue to develop this synergy in the future, suggesting collaboration with institutes and centers beyond Harvard in order to build a stronger network that includes not just India but other countries of the sub-continent.
Following the Retreat, SAI continued the celebration of its 10th anniversary with a lecture by Nick Dirks, Chancellor of University of California, Berkeley, entitled 'South Asian Studies: Pasts and Futures.' Chancellor Dirks noted the history of area studies in the US, and the importance of South Asian Studies. Find a link to the video here.

Costanza Carissimo
Accelerating the Digitalization of Healthcare: Cathay Innovation Leads €28M Series B in Germany's MEDWING
By Jacky Abitbol & Costanza Carissimo, Cathay Innovation
Last week we announced a significant milestone in raising over €500M for our second venture capital Fund to invest in visionary entrepreneurs across Europe, North America and Asia that are changing the world through technology. Building on the success of our previous fund and the belief that our global platform can provide real value to founders, we've also decided to actively expand our investment scope in Europe.
While we have been an extremely active member in the EU venture capital landscape since the start — investing in startups such as Glovo, Kayrros and Drivy to name a few- we have long been impressed by the large and growing startup ecosystem in Germany. After seeing the initial success of startups particularly in online consumer marketplaces, there are many rising stars emerging in the German market in a variety of verticals from mobility to fintech, to AI and enterprise SaaS. This brought us to the decision to actively invest in this market with Costanza Carissimo, who worked in our Silicon Valley office until the summer of 2019, returning to Europe to lead our efforts in Germany.
Today, in what marks another exciting milestone as our first investment in Germany, we're pleased to announce that we've invested in leading European health-tech company MEDWING by leading their €28M Series B round. MEDWING is a platform connecting workers with healthcare institutions, enabling health professionals to simplify and streamline the application process to get a job tailored to their needs.
By also managing a temporary staffing model, MEDWING enables workers that need a more flexible schedule to re-enter the workforce. The company stands at the crossroad of the digitalization of work and of the health sector, two areas among Cathay Innovation's core investment focus.
We are thrilled to be working with the MEDWING team on their mission to transform work in the healthcare sector and solve the shortage of healthcare personnel across Europe. We'll be joining a strong lineup of co-investors that includes Northzone, Cherry Ventures and Atlantic Labs.
Healthcare Worker Shortage to Reach 20M by 2030
We see digital health as a huge area of importance and opportunity as software can be used across the healthcare spectrum, from primary research to streamlining operations across healthcare organizations, to drive tangible and impactful change in people's lives. We are also seeing a new generation of workers demand more — not only in terms of digital services but also in terms of flexibility and agency — leading to a need for more innovative solutions to define the future of work across industries.
At Cathay Innovation, we've made several global investments in both healthcare and the future of work, such as; Owkin — a startup using AI to revolutionize medical research; Inato — a platform specifically designed for clinical trials; Iziwork — France's leading temporary work platform, Terminal — a distributed-teams-as-a-service startup based in the US, and IfChange — China's leading platform for hiring, managing and digitizing human capital.
But one of the most urgent issues today is the shortage of qualified healthcare workers worldwide. According to the World Bank, the global shortage of health professionals is expected to reach 20 million by 2030. This shortage negatively affects workers, patients, and institutions and has been brought to the forefront in the current health crisis, in which nurses and doctors emerged as — previously unsung — heroes.
Yet, recruitment in healthcare is currently an antiquated business and a major pain point in the industry, with institutions relying on a constellation of local offline agencies, headhunters, offline listings on trade magazines or word of mouth. Institutions are also posting job openings on their own websites, which typically only attracts candidates that had a previous interest in the hospital, or on generalist online portals, which lack the filtering capabilities and granularity of information needed for specialty occupations.
As a result, healthcare institutions often face higher recruiting costs and potential legal fines while governments face higher welfare costs. With an aging population, the need for a stronger hospital infrastructure and more senior care homes will also increase as the gap in available healthcare workers widens.
Enter MEDWING: At the Crossroads of Digital Health and the Future-of-Work
MEDWING is a high-touch marketplace connecting healthcare workers with institutions, on a mission to solve the skills shortage and transform work in the sector.
In less than 3 years, the company has achieved incredible growth, reaching more than 200,000 candidates and 2,500 hospitals, nursing homes and medical practices in Germany and with growing traction in France and the UK.
By being vertically focused, MEDWING has a deep knowledge of sector specific job requirements, as well as the hospital information most relevant to workers in the field. Their software manages the hiring and recruitment process from start to finish — giving candidates timely answers and full transparency, while also relieving some of the tasks of overworked hospital recruiters. Workers can apply for jobs, submit documents, select available shifts, and connect to the Medwing community via the app. While healthcare institutions can leverage Medwing's applicant tracking system, temporary staff booking tool and shift management tool to ease their administrative burden.
The company aggregates supply and demand on a larger scale, allowing them to connect the best candidate to the best job, contrary to local agencies which will try to push the candidates they find towards the jobs for which they received a mandate. But matching is just the start: MEDWING also provides a flexible work solution that caters to students, retirees, or parents, that enables them to reenter the healthcare workforce on a schedule compatible with their lifestyle. MEDWING is not only facilitating a more efficient matching, but also increasing the overall supply of healthcare workers.
Furthermore, during this time of acute health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are proud of the incredible work that the MEDWING team has done to launch, in a very short amount of time, a pro-bono platform to connect volunteers and non-active healthcare workers, to institutions who urgently need them. The platform, #Wirwollenhelfen already collected more than 10,000 registrations from people willing to help, including doctors, nurses, and non-medical volunteers.
Timo Fischer and Johannes Roggendorf, co-founders of MEDWING
Backing Germany's Next Visionary Entrepreneurs
With the increasing maturity of the German tech ecosystem, we believe entrepreneurs will need the backing of investors who not only have the capital, but believe in their vision and have a global mindset and ecosystem of local experts and partners to help them thrive and grow.
When we first met Johannes and Timo, the founders of MEDWING, we were immediately captivated by their vision to solve healthcare worker shortages by focusing on the best possible candidate experience. Both are extremely ambitious serial entrepreneurs, with complementary skill sets bringing together finance and operations with strong technical and marketing expertise. They first worked together in 2010 as part of the founding team of Home24. Timo then went on to lead a sporting group e-commerce company, while Johannes worked at Bain and founded another HR company: Haven.HR. They finally joined forces again in 2017 to found MEDWING.
We are excited and honored to join forces with a company driven by such a strong mission, and to be part of a project that is making a real difference in the lives of nurses, doctors, and patients. We believe our global platform and ecosystem is exceptionally well-suited to help MEDWING as they bring their service to more European geographies.
We look forward to supporting entrepreneurs building the next big winners in Germany and beyond!

Kanye West Responds To Soulja Boy & Explains Why He Took Him Off 'Donda'
HipHop News Posted on November 5, 2021 at 11:26am
Big Draco has repeatedly dissed Kanye for removing his verse from "Remote Control."
Soulja Boy wasn't too happy to discover he'd been taken off Kanye West's Donda when the album hit streaming services by surprise on August 29, and he's been letting Kanye know exactly how he feels about it.
The SODMG boss has repeatedly dissed Mr. West for removing his verse from "Remote Control," calling him everything from "lame as fuck" to a "bitch ass n-gga." He even taunted Kanye by insinuating he was the first rapper to hook up with the mother of his four children, Kim Kardashian.
But during his appearance on N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN's Drink Champs podcast on Thursday (November 4), Kanye West broke his silence and fired back at Soulja Boy in brutally efficient fashion.
Kanye West says he took Soulja Boy off of DONDA because his verse wasn't good😭😭 pic.twitter.com/xQBICGcCRe
— Hip Hop Ties (@HipHopTiesMedia) November 5, 2021
When asked by N.O.R.E. why Soulja Boy's "Remote Control" verse was left on the cutting room floor, Kanye replied, "You ain't hear that verse?"
N.O.R.E. answered, "No," before realizing seconds later what Kanye meant — at which point the room burst into laughter. "The verse wasn't good?" N.O.R.E. followed up, to which Ye replied, "Nah," sparking another chorus of laughter.
Soulja Boy previewed his unused "Remote Control" verse on Instagram shortly after Donda's release, writing "Fuck Kanye" in the caption.
A post shared by Soulja Boy (Big Draco) 🏆 (@souljaboy)
Despite leaving him off Donda, Kanye West still had high praise for Big Draco, who he crowned as one of the most influential rappers of the modern era alongside Future.
"Soulja Boy is top five most influential, and I'm not going to argue with you n-ggas about this at all," he declared. "I tell you what, though, Soulja Boy is the future. Future the future. There's a couple of people."

Hi everyone! So, last night I was at a loss of what to have for supper! So, I grilled up some chicken, and then, made this great pesto out of herbs and things I had in the fridge, and just drizzled it on the chicken breasts, and it was soo good, so, I thought I would share it with you!
I don't really consider it a recipe, but, if you mix this pesto with some mayo and some sour cream, it makes a great dip! Otherwise, just a quick sauce for chicken, or pork, or even white fish!
Whir the whole thing in a food processor adding some of the oil from the sun dried tomatoes, and then, using the olive oil as you need it. If you are making this for a dip, omit the Extra virgin olive oil and just use the oil from the tomatoes. You may also add a little chopped up sun dried tomatoes, and chopped up black olives on top for a garnish!
Try it - it is soo good!


for bidding and winning the slots that made this pic possible.
This one came out GREAT!! I love the energy of all the characters interacting with each other. I hope that the next one I do will have just an elaborate set of colorful characters as this one.
Be on the lookout for more of my YCH projects.
Is there a download for a bigger version so people can zoom in on the details or is this the full size of the drawing?
Glad to see the Cow sisters again in one shot.
Oh it turned out amazing, so stoked!
Nice. Can't wait to see what the next YCH situation is. Making me want to commission you for more art again.
So...judging by the title...there's a none DA version in the works or in existence?
The previous one was on FurAffinity. FA got the "Ladies Night at the Brickhouse Bar" YCH this time.
Thanks for the opportunity Sho! You did a great job on this!

There are different types of flooding, rainwater causing rivers to overflow, high tide flooding and flooding over low lying ground or "dips" in roadways etc.
Snow, rain, sunshine, ice, flowers peeking through the snow, pigeons huddled together, swans walking, children building snowmen and adults clearing paths.
Whatever the festive season throws at us just be careful. Don't let your dog run out onto the ice (keep it on a lead near waterways); don't try to walk on the ice. Go carefully out there.
When I look back our records for Christmas times past there have been many waterway accidents, so please; this year let's have no statistics to record.
Last night I sat and watched the old 1950's film "The Maggie" on television. Boy, did it bring back memories; not just the scenes of the river, but memories of the Puffers.
During his boat hiring days Ben Parsonage would supplement his own built fleet of rowing boats by purchasing boats from the boat-hirers at Millport.
I read a few weeks ago a story about the last rowing lifeboat. Now it may have been the last rowing lifeboat that went out to sea, but there are several rowing lifeboats still in use.
A rowing boat in expert hands can be manoeuvred easier than a motor boat and there is no propeller in the water.

Washington County is a county located in the U.S. state of Tennessee. As of the 2010 census, the population was 122,979. [2] Its county seat is Jonesborough. [3] The county's largest city and a regional educational, medical and commercial center is Johnson City. Washington County is Tennessee's oldest county, having been established in 1777 when the state was still part of North Carolina. [4]
Washington County is part of the Johnson City, TN Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is a component of the Johnson City– Kingsport– Bristol, TN- VA Combined Statistical Area, commonly known as the " Tri-Cities" region.

Watauga and the Washington District
Washington County is rooted in the Watauga settlements, which were established in the early 1770s in the vicinity of what is now Elizabethton, in adjacent Carter County. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War in 1776, the Wataugans organized the "Washington District," which was governed by a committee of safety. North Carolina initially refused to recognize the settlements as legal, but finally agreed to annex the district after the settlers thwarted an invasion by hostile Cherokees. The settlements were governed as the Washington District, which originally included all of what is now Tennessee. The district was reorganized as Washington County in 1777. [5]
Washington County, North Carolina and Franklin
From 1777 until 1784, North Carolina held nominal control over the county, but did little for the residents, at least in their eyes. So the area citizens formed, in 1784, the State of Franklin to meet their needs. Franklin was an early attempt to create a fourteenth state prior to Kentucky and Vermont's admissions into the union. The county reverted to North Carolina control, however, following the failure of the Franklin state government in 1788.
Part of Tennessee
In 1790 the area became part of Southwest Territory, and afterward it was admitted to the Union in 1796 as the 16th state. [5] Jonesboro, the county seat of Washington County, is Tennessee's oldest town. With many buildings restored, it comprises one of the nation's most authentic historic districts of the period 1790–1870.
Washington County was divided between pro-Union and pro-secession sentiments at the outset of the Civil War. In Tennessee's Ordinance of Secession referendum on June 8, 1861, Washington Countians voted 1,445 to 1,022 in favor of remaining in the Union. [6] One of the bridges targeted by the East Tennessee bridge-burners in November 1861 was located in what is now Watauga near the Washington-Carter county line. [7] Landon Carter Haynes, a Confederate senator, hailed from Washington County. [5]
Johnson City, originally known as Johnson's Depot, was a major railway center for the southeastern states, connecting the region for freight transportation and passengers. It was the headquarters for both the standard-gauge Carolina, Clinchfield, and Ohio ( Clinchfield Railroad), which required the excavation and blasting of 17 tunnels during its construction; and the narrow-gauge East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad (Tweetsie). Significant restoration is underway, as well as publicizing the railroad heritage of the Johnson's Depot Historic District. Other historic properties are being restored as representative of Johnson City's late nineteenth and early twentieth-century era as a railway center.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 330 square miles (850 km2), of which 326 square miles (840 km2) is land and 3.3 square miles (8.5 km2) (1.0%) is water. [8] The western portion of the county is situated in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, which are characterized by long, narrow ridges roughly oriented northeast-to-southwest. The county's most prominent Ridge-and-Valley features rise in the vicinity of its northwestern border with Hawkins and Sullivan counties. The eastern portion of the county lies within the Blue Ridge Mountains, specifically the Bald Mountains (south of the Nolichucky River) and the Unaka Range (north of the Nolichucky). [9] Buffalo Mountain, a long ridge that straddles much of Washington's eastern boundary, contains the county's highest point, 3,520-foot (1,070 m) Pinnacle Knob. The Cherokee National Forest protects much of the extreme eastern part of the county. Sampson Mountain, which rises in the southeastern part of the county, is home to a designated national wilderness area.
The Nolichucky River flows through the southern part of Washington County. The Watauga River flows the northern part of the county, and forms part of the county's border with Sullivan County. The lower section of the Watauga River is part of Boone Lake.

Like most of East Tennessee, Washington County has always been a Republican stronghold. A Democratic candidate has never won the county in its history, though Lyndon Johnson came within 359 votes of Barry Goldwater in 1964 and Jimmy Carter came within 819 votes of Gerald Ford in 1976. Franklin Roosevelt is the only other Democrat to even cross the 40 percent mark. The only time the Republicans have ever lost the county came in 1912, when the Bull Moose Party won a plurality, with a badly divided GOP pushed into third place.

An up-close look at the real Yao Ming from his first translator with the Rockets. @ChrisMannixYS on @TheVertical . https://t.co/ZQI5kQqo3Y The Vertical (@TheVertical) September 7, 2016 The big fella was a beloved teammate, as Tracy McGrady recalls. "I am proud to call Yao my friend." Great read from @Real_T_Mac on @YaoMing 's incredible impact. https://t.co/UDVHjEEYrM Houston Rockets (@HoustonRockets) September 6, 2016 Per ESPN: When I finally met him, I realized two things: he does speak English and not only does he speak it, he has an amazing sense of humor.  I loved seeing his personality come out more and more over the years as he got more comfortable in Houston. Thats how I really learned what an amazing person he is. He will sometimes just pretend he doesnt speak English he does that even to this day! Thats why Yao getting into the Hall of Fame is so deserved. His skills for a man his size were just unbelievable.

Student veterans are career-focused. They come to campus with a career in mind, but maybe not a path or plan," Pridemore said. "They are a unique student population who require a special support network in order to thrive." Ferraro comes to GW from four years as a vocational rehabilitation counselor for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. She also spent time working with wounded and ill soldiers at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, according to her profile on the military office website. GW joined the VetSuccess program in summer 2013. Roger Deason previously held the role until he retired from the Department of Veterans Affairs last spring. Yannick Baptiste, the president of GW Veterans, said there was a delay in replacing Deason at GW because the VA prioritizes replacing counselors at their headquarters before filling empty slots at universities. Having Ferraro on campus will benefit more than 1,700 student veterans at the University because she reports directly to the Department of Veterans Affairs, allowing her to provide some services beyond GW's scope, Baptiste said. She is able to assist students in applying for benefits, Baptiste said in an email, GW VALOR Student Services processes benefits but cannot tell a student what benefits they are eligible for or recommend using one type of benefit over another. Baptiste said Ferraro can also provide students with referrals for specialized health care, including mental health care, from external providers and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Media Release - Prince Albert Police Service Completes Sale of CID Building

Media Release – Prince Albert Police Service Completes Sale of CID Building
The Prince Albert Police Service has finalized the sale of the Criminal Investigations Division building at 15-15th St. W. and handed over the keys to the new owners at Prince Albert Mobile Crisis.
The sale was completed last month.
"Mobile Crisis provides an important connection to services and supports that help the most vulnerable members of our community," said Prince Albert Police Chief Jonathan Bergen. "We work closely with our partners at Mobile Crisis and having them next door will be a benefit to our organization."
The team at Mobile Crisis is excited about coming back to the downtown area after more than a decade at their previous location along Second Avenue West, said Executive Director Vicki Stewart.
"We are still in the process of getting settled into the new building, and look forward to renewing our ties with the local downtown community," Ms. Stewart said. "We continue to provide the same services, including crisis intervention and sexual assault counselling, while we transition to our new space."
Mobile Crisis purchased the building following a request for proposals earlier this year. Following the RFP process, the initial buyer for the property declined to go ahead with the sale.
The police service purchased the building next to the police station on 15th Street West in 2008. Most recently, the building housed the Criminal Investigations Division of the police service, which investigates major crimes in the community.
The building was put up for sale following the purchase of the secondary substation location on 10th Street East in 2019.

I get questions allllll the time about how I use oils with my kiddos and then also how I use oils with baby!
Adelaide was my first pregnancy to use Essentials oils with, plus first post-partum experience and then my first baby to use them on! I can truly say that everything that felt intimidating or overwhelming quickly just went away!
Having them for emotional support + hormonal support post partum was AMAZING and then quickly having something at home to support my little sweetie, I honestly can't imagine life without them now!
So these three above are my FAVORITE for her. I put them into a little roller and have it on hand....I roll it on her feet throughout the day and also occasionally behind her ears/ down the back of the neck and spine if she needs extra immune support!
Its a beautiful wellness roller with gentle oils to support her tiny body! Not to mention it smells dreamy!!!
+ "Gentle Baby™ is a soft, fragrant combination of essential oils designed specifically for mothers and babies. It helps calm emotions during pregnancy and is useful for quieting troubled little ones. It is also soothing to tender skin. Many of the essential oils in this blend are used in elite cosmetics to enhance a youthful appearance."
+ I mean Lavender is basically the unicorn oil, what do we not use lavender to support?
Remember, it's our sweet Grandmother oil! Gentle, soft, comforting, supports relaxation, and all about making us feel at home. This is the Swiss Army knife of oils, good for anything!
+Frank. Frank is incredibly grounding ( I personally LOVE this one in my bedtime routine) but also a gentle but strong immune support for little tinies!
The perfect combo for my little pumpkin!
Doing a bedtime routine is really important as a "signal" for the babes to know that it's time for sleep. Being consistent with it really helps to unwind your babe.
We do bath time every night with the seedlings shampoo and wash, then a little feet run with the seedlings lotion and apply Lavender + Peace and Calming on her toes.
Diffusers are amazing- not only do they make your home smell DREAMY but they can support your bodies in so many ways.... sleep support, stress support, immune support & more!
Lastly we LOVE a sweet lullaby spray.
Lightly misting baby lovies, blankets, crib sheets and pillows is a beautiful way to let them experience oils. We also have a diffuser in every room!
What do we use oils for? EVERYTHING!
** I just did the pillow sprays with Adelaide until about 6-8 months old!


It is winter, and from your hotel room you see the sun break over the Monashee Mountains, casting gold beams across perfectly groomed runs. The air is full of floating crystals, blown from tree limbs, and lifted from powdery slopes. Your stomach is soon full of European chocolate and croissant, or bacon and eggs, and gourmet coffee. The snow, rung of all moisture as it travels across the Coast Range and over the interior plateau, squeaks under your boots as you walk. You click into your binding and with a few poles strokes, begin an effortless glide, and in seconds are shooting through the crisp air down a short run and straight onto the chair lift. From the blue morning shadows at the base of the mountain, you rise quickly into the full sun and gaze at winter's wonder. The sugar-coated mountain stands out against a blue sky; the trees at the top, buried by winter storms, look like white elves. Your biggest decision in life comes down to one simple thing: which one of the 115 runs than span out beneath you should you do first?
It is summer, and from your hotel room, you see a mother black bear and two cubs, digging and wandering slowly through a field of lupines and Indian paintbrush. The mid-summer cool night air, fragrant with forest smells, is mixing with warm drafts of wind that have started to rise from the earth and the desert valley below.
The mountain's 2,500 vertical feet and 1,240 hectares of terrain are blanketed by 700 cm of snow annually. Silver Star has 115 runs, champagne powder-dry snow, and is serviced by state of the art hi-speed lifts. In addition, a skating rink, snow park, Tube Town Adventure Park, Mini-Z snowmobiles track, and track set x-country trails keep the winter enthusiasts satisfied from late November till April. Snowshoeing, snowmobile tours, the tranquility of horse drawn sleighs, and the surreal magic of night skiing until 8pm, round out any winter vacation.
The resort has over 60 m of track-set Nordic trails; but in partnership with Sovereign Lake Nordic Club – whose facilities, including day lodge and the Black Prince Cabin, operate in the adjacent Silver Star Provincial Park – Silver Star now boasts 105 km of trails and the longest Nordic season in North America.
Summertime at Silver Star is full of fun in the great outdoors, from scenic chairlift rides, to guided nature tours. For mountain bikers, Silver Star has built a reputation as the place to ride in Canada. From downhill to bike-park, you will not be disappointed. And for a change of pace, test your warrior skills with a paintball challenge, take in a 'Retro-Day', or sample fine wines during the Okanagan Summer Wine Festival.
Within the picturesque and colourful Victorian style village are numerous options for mountain accommodations, lots of restaurants and bistros, providing everything from pub fare to haute cuisine, and shopping for ski and snowboard clothing and equipment. You can also spoil yourself with aromatherapy and essential oils at the spa or get out of the cold and get in shape at The National Altitude Training Center, whose offerings includes weight room, climbing wall, yoga and more.
No matter what season, you are sure to keep a smile on your face while visiting Silver Star Resort.
To get there: from the city of Vernon, take 48th Ave, which turns into Silver Star Road, and travel for 22 km to the resort.

Investing in stocks can be an efficient way to build wealth over time. Learning how to invest wisely and patiently over a lifetime can yield returns that far outpace the most modest income. Numerous members of the Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans made the list in 2021 because they owned a large block of shares in a public or private corporation.
It all starts with understanding how the stock market works, what your investment goals are, and whether you can handle a lot or just a little bit of risk.
Stocks represent legal ownership in a company; you become part owner of the company when you purchase shares.
You can profit from owning stocks when the share price increases and/or from dividend payments.
Dividends are usually cash payments many companies send out to their shareholders.

Corporations issue stock to raise money, and it comes in two variations: common or preferred. Common stock entitles the stockholder to a proportionate share of a company's profits or losses, while preferred stock comes with a predetermined dividend payment.
People generally mean common stocks when they talk about buying stocks.

Investing in Stocks
You can profit from owning stocks when the share price increases, or from quarterly dividend payments. Investments accumulate over time and can yield a solid return due to compound interest, which allows your interest to begin earning interest.
For example, you might make an initial investment of $1,000, and you plan to add $100 every month for 20 years. You'd end up with $75,457.50 after 20 years, even though you only contributed $25,000 over time, provided you see an annual return of 10% interest.
Benjamin Graham is known as the father of value investing, and he's preached that the real money in investing will have to be made—as most of it has been in the past—not by buying and selling, but from owning and holding securities, receiving interest and dividends, and benefiting from their long-term increase in value.
Why Stock Prices Fluctuate
The stock market works like an auction. Buyers and sellers can be individuals, corporations, or governments. The price of a stock will go down when there are more sellers than buyers. The price will go up when there are more buyers than sellers.
A company's performance doesn't directly influence its stock price. Investors' reactions to the performance decide how a stock price fluctuates. More people will want to own the stock if a company is performing well, consequently driving up the price. The opposite is true when a company underperforms.
Stock Market Capitalization
A stock's market capitalization ( or "market cap") is the sum of the total shares outstanding, multiplied by the share price. For example, a company's market cap would be $50 million if it has one million outstanding shares priced at $50 each.
Market cap has more meaning than the share price, because it allows you to evaluate a company in the context of similarly sized companies in its industry. A small-cap company with a capitalization of $500 million shouldn't be compared to a large-cap company worth $10 billion. Companies are generally grouped by market cap:
Small-cap: $300 million to $2 billion
Mid-cap: Between $2 billion and $10 billion
Large-cap: $10 billion or more
A stock split occurs when a company increases its total shares by dividing up the ones it currently has. This is typically done on a two-to-one ratio.
For example, you might own 100 shares of a stock priced at $80 per share. You'd have 200 shares priced at $40 each if there were a stock split. The number of shares changes, but the overall value of your holdings remains the same.
Stock splits sometimes occur when prices are increasing in a way that deters and disadvantages smaller investors. They can also keep the trading volume up by creating a larger buying pool.
Expect to experience a stock split at some point if you invest in individual stocks.
Stock Value vs. Price
A company's stock price has nothing to do with its value. A $50 stock could be more valuable than an $800 stock because the share price means nothing on its own.
The relationship of price-to-earnings and net assets is what determines if a stock is overvalued or undervalued. Companies can keep prices artificially high by never conducting a stock split, yet not have the underlying foundational support. Make no assumptions based on price alone.
Dividends are usually cash payments that many companies send out to their shareholders. Dividend investing refers to portfolios containing stocks that consistently issue dividend payments throughout the years. These stocks produce a reliable passive income stream that can be beneficial in retirement.
You can't judge a stock by its dividend alone, however. Sometimes, companies increase dividends as a way to attract investors when the underlying company is in trouble.
Ask yourself why management isn't reinvesting some of that money in the company for growth if a company is offering high dividends.
Blue-chip stocks—which get their name from poker, where the most valuable chip color is blue—are well-known, well-established companies that have histories of paying out consistent dividends regardless of the economic conditions.
Investors like them because they tend to grow dividend rates more quickly than the rate of inflation. An owner increases income without having to buy another share. Blue-chip stocks aren't necessarily flashy, but they usually have solid balance sheets and steady returns.
Preferred stocks are very different from the shares of the common stock most investors own. Holders of preferred stock are always the first to receive dividends, and they'll be the first shareholders to get paid in cases of bankruptcy. The stock price doesn't fluctuate the way common stock does, however, so some gains can be missed on companies with hypergrowth.
Preferred shareholders also get no voting rights in company elections.
Investment ideas can come from many places. You can turn to companies like Standard & Poor's (S&P) or other online resources that might tell you about up-and-coming companies if you want guidance from professional research services. You can take a look at your surroundings and see what people are interested in buying if spending your time browsing investment websites doesn't sound appealing.
Look for trends and for the companies that are in positions to benefit you. Stroll the aisles of your grocery store with an eye for what's emerging. Ask your family members what products and services they're most interested in and why.
You might find opportunities to invest in stocks across a wide range of industries, from technology to health care.
It's also important to consider diversifying the stocks you invest in. Consider stocks for different companies in different industries, or even a variety of stocks for organizations with different market caps. A better-diversified portfolio will have other securities in it, too, such as bonds, ETFs, or commodities.
You can buy stock directly using a brokerage account or one of the many available investment apps. These platforms give you the options to buy, sell, and store your purchased stocks on your home computer or smartphone. The only differences among them are mostly in fees and available resources.
Both traditional brokerage companies such as Fidelity and TD Ameritrade, and newer apps such as Robinhood and Webull offer zero-commission trades from time to time. That makes it a lot easier to buy stocks without the worry of commissions eating into your returns down the line.
You can also join an investment club if you don't want to go it alone. Joining one can give you more information at a reasonable cost, but it takes a lot of time to meet with the other club members, all of whom may have various levels of expertise. You might also be required to pool some of your funds into a club account before investing.
Another way to invest in stocks is through your retirement account. Your employer might offer a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan as part of your benefits package. These accounts invest your money for retirement, but your investment options are typically limited to the choices provided by your employer and the plan provider.
You can open an IRA on your own with your bank or brokerage company if your employer doesn't offer a retirement plan.
Choosing a Stockbroker
There are two types of stockbrokers: full-service and discount.
Full-service brokers tailor recommendations and charge higher fees, service charges, and commissions. Most investors are willing to pay these higher fees because of the research and resources these companies provide.
The majority of research responsibility falls on the investor with a discount broker. The broker just provides a platform to perform trades and customer support when needed.
Newer investors can benefit from the resources provided by full-service brokers, while frequent traders and experienced investors who perform their own research might lean toward platforms with no commission fees.
A money manager might also be an option. Money managers select and buy the stocks for you, and you pay them a hefty fee—usually a percentage of your total portfolio. This arrangement takes the least amount of time, because you can meet with them just once or twice a year if the manager does well.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) offers helpful advice on how to check out your investment professional before allowing them to manage your money and funds.
You might have to put in more time managing your investments if you want low fees. You'll likely have to pay higher fees if you want to outperform the market, or if you want or need a lot of advice.
Knowing when to sell is just as important as buying stocks. Most investors buy when the stock market is rising and sell when it's falling, but a wise investor follows a strategy based on their financial needs.
Keep an eye on the major market indices. The three largest U.S. indices are:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Nasdaq
Don't panic if they enter a correction or a crash. These events don't tend to last very long, and history has shown that the market will climb again. Losing money is never fun, but it's smart to weather the storm of a down market and hold onto your investments, because they will probably rise again.
Learning how to invest in stocks might take a little time, but you'll be on your way to building your wealth when you get the hang of it. Read various investment websites, test out different brokers and stock-trading apps, and diversify your portfolio to hedge against risk. Keep your risk tolerance and financial goals in mind, and you'll be able to call yourself a shareholder before you know it.
What are penny stocks?
Penny stocks, also known as microcap stocks, are low-priced shares in small companies. The SEC warns that these stocks can be extremely volatile and difficult to trade once you own them. Be extremely cautious about investing in penny stocks.
What is volume in stocks?
Volume measures the number of shares traded in a given time period. It typically denotes the amount traded in a single trading day. Growth in trade volume for a given stock is typically seen as a sign of strength.
How many stocks should you own?
While there is no exact number of stocks every investor should own, many experts recommend somewhere between 10 and 30 stocks. The basic rule of thumb is to try to achieve enough diversity in your portfolio to protect yourself from losses while not spreading your investments too thin. The ideal number of stocks for you is the number that achieves this goal.

Identifying the Cause of Interstitial Lung Disease
Innovations Medical COPD 10/04/2017
What Causes Interstitial Lung Disease?
A study from Columbia University Medical Center in New York links workplace exposure to vapors, gas, dust, and fumes to an increased likelihood of developing interstitial lung disease (ILD).
ILDs are lung diseases that cause progressive scarring and inflammation of lung tissue. Lung inflammation and scarring builds up over time and lead to shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough and extreme fatigue. Other effects of the condition include weight loss, high blood pressure and heart disease.
There are over 100 ILDs, including pneumoconiosis, an occupational lung disease caused by inhaling lung irritants. Two of the best known forms of pneumoconiosis are "black lung," a disease that develops in coalmine workers, and "brown lung," a condition that develops in textile and fiber workers.
One of the most common types of ILD is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an often fatal lung disease with no known cause.
If left untreated, ILDs can be fatal. Around 40,000 Americans die from ILDs each year, according to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.
Investigating the Source of Interstitial Lung Disease
The Columbia researchers aim to lower the number of ILD fatalities by looking for the sources of very early changes in the lungs that are present before the patient begins showing outward signs of the disease.
The study included 5,702 adult participants from St. Paul, Minnesota; Winston Salem, North Carolina; Baltimore; Chicago; Los Angeles; and New York.
Participants had CT scans of the chest at the beginning of the study and six years later. Researchers also recorded participant reports of workplace exposure to vapors, gas, dust, and fumes, and estimated exposure levels using data provided by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
The results of the study showed that patients with higher levels of exposure showed inflammation and scarring on lung scans. Individuals with high levels of workplace exposure to dust or gas were twice as likely to show early evidence of ILD compared to those exposed to other lung irritants.
While the study showed some connection between workplace exposure and the development of ILD, not all participants in the study developed a disease.
New Treatment for Interstitial Lung Disease
ILDs are progressive, which means the amount of scar tissue in the lungs grows over time. As scar tissue grows, breathing becomes increasingly difficult.
Conventional treatments for ILD include anti-inflammatory medications, steroids and oxygen.
"Patients with interstitial lung disease begin with a cough and end up on oxygen," said Dr. Bill Johnson, M.D.
Johnson is a Dallas, Texas, physician who is turning the tables for patients with ILDs using stem cell therapy.
Johnson takes stem cells from the patient's adipose fat tissue harvested through liposuction and deploys the stem cells back into the patient through an IV. Some of the cells are also nebulized and inhaled into the lungs.
Once the stem cells have been deployed, they immediately go to work repairing damaged lung tissue and reducing inflammation.
Patients receiving stem cell treatment for their ILDs experience increased oxygen levels, which can lower blood pressure. Other benefits of the treatment include increased stamina and the ability to exercise.
Johnson also uses stem cell therapy to treat people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). COPD, also known as emphysema, is a debilitating lung condition that kills 120,000 people each year. COPD leaves patients unable to breathe and, like ILDs, increases blood pressure and the patient's risk of developing heart failure.
"Conventional treatments for COPD are similar to those of other lung diseases, and most patients end up depending on oxygen therapy for survival," Johnson said.
COPD patients who choose stem cell therapy often see the same benefits of as patients with ILDs: increased oxygen intake, increased stamina and improved mobility.
