New Life in the ER
The average hospital always promises one thing in its branding – such as exceptional care and genuine compassion – but then rarely (or never!) delivers on that promise. And, the emergency department seems to be the weakest link in any possible branding and the one area I dread most about any hospital. Unless you're profusely bleeding from a major artery, chances are you'll end up waiting hours (maybe even days!) before you're even seen.
However, I was pleasantly surprised with the changes that NYU Langone Medical Center in NYC recently made. This past Thursday evening, my husband and I went with our adult son to the emergency department at NYU. He had a condition that needed immediate medical attention but would not be considered life-threatening (thank goodness!) in order to be seen right away. I was preparing myself for a very late night and was hoping we'd get home before sunrise.
When we walked into NYU's ER, the first thing I noticed was no chaos. Unfortunately, I've had my fair share of times in the emergency department, and your head starts to spin with the chaos, craziness and overcrowding. But, this time, it was shockingly different. It was quiet. Was I no longer in NYC? They immediately had my son talk to the triage nurse and my husband and I sat down. I noticed the chairs were completely different as well. They were new chairs and, surprisingly, really comfortable. Well, I thought, that's good since we'll probably be stuck here for hours.
My son sat down with us and we prepared to wait. But, only after a few short minutes, they called his name. We followed a gentleman down a long corridor to another wing in the hospital. We were going to "Fast Track" – another area for less seriously ill or injured patients who would be seen right away versus waiting for hours. Really? I couldn't believe it…this new area was also quiet and very organized. My son was seen after a few minutes, and the doctor was terrific. He spent a good deal of time with my son and was very compassionate. We were in and out of the emergency department in about an hour-and-a-half. Trust me… that's record time and I was amazed.
So, kudos to NYU for reorganizing their emergency department to make triage more efficient and to prevent long hours of waiting for those who need medical attention but are not considered to be in a life-threatening situation. We actually had a good experience in the emergency department, which I realize sounds like an oxymoron. But, it's not. My perception of what an ER could be like has completely changed…for the better. NYU eliminated the chaos, overcrowding and long hours by completely separating the serious from the less serious cases. It seems so simple and obvious, but I've never seen this done before.
This experience was particularly interesting to me, both as a public relations professional and as a consumer. At Peppercom, we conduct a proprietary audience experience audit for clients, which allows them to truly understand their brand's experience in their customers' shoes. I would never even think to equate the word good and, even in this case, exceptional with an ER. However, NYU is like the Zappos of emergency departments. That's probably the highest compliment I could give since I greatly admire how Zappos handles its customers.
I'm hoping NYU has started a new trend for the other emergency departments in NYC and throughout the country. Congrats, NYU, for giving new life to the emergency department.
RealDiana, FauxJournalism
Posted on July 7, 2011 by RepMan
Today's guest post is by Courtney Chauvin Ellul, Director, Peppercom Europe
The hotly debated July 4 Newsweek feature, "Diana at 50: If She Were Here Now," written by the always controversial Tina Brown, sounds more like an episode of Coronation Street, than the cover story of a major news magazine. Adding insult to injury is that photo – the super-freaky, Zombie-like, Photoshopped image of the Princess walking with daughter-in-law Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. It's a new low for today's media, especially for an outlet that has the word 'News' in its title.
Not surprising, the British are none too happy about this.
The media here, not unlike many U.S. outlets, are tearing the story to shreds. According to The Telegraph, "The ghoulish cover exudes bad taste: using Diana's image is one thing – the late princess still sells papers in America as elsewhere. But presenting her, artificially aged, in a hat and frock next to the young Duchess, similarly attired, is beyond the pale." The Guardian calls the story "ill-judged'" and "a rather flaky imagining of what the dead princess would be doing now." The issue underperformed with advertisers as well, selling 13.8 ad pages, which is considered low for a 'special double issue' (hardly special and, wafer thin, hardly double).
Britons are also peeved by the U.S. publication's creepy depiction of the late princess and exploitative grab for sales (imagine, for just one moment, how you would feel if that was your digitally altered dead mom on the cover of a 'reputable' magazine?). According to an Angus Reid Public Opinion poll, more than a third of Britons think the cover is offensive, and three-in-ten brand it as useless. More than half of respondents are not interested at all in reading the story. A reader posted a comment on the Newsweek site on Tuesday morning, asking: "When will the new title be official: Fictionweek?" It would take more than a tea-filled afternoon to read through the hundreds of other scathing comments.
Peppercom Europe managing director Jacki Vause agrees that the piece is tasteless; the sort of editorial you would expect to see in a down market woman's magazine ("People has better standards of content!") – not Newsweek. She said:
The speculation on Diana's life as it would have been was written like some kind of bad rom-com movie script outline – with her slick 'hedge-fund' guy and her secret trysts when she became bored. I am not sure what the purpose of editorials like this are.
Does it serve any information need? No, it's just a titillating byline from Tina Brown who is obviously just keen to keep her profile up. And for Newsweek, a sad way of dragging out the Royal Wedding story so that it can boost its sales/profile. I think it backfired on both. Tina Brown appears frivolous and without substance (she could speculate on a lot more important and relevant matters) and Newsweek has dumbed itself down. The fact is, it's boring. Diana is dead – move on!
British native and Peppercom director Carl Foster offers his two pence – in the form of three thoughts:
First thought: That's not the greatest Photoshop job when we're talking about the cover of Newsweek.
Second thought: What a cheap and opportunistic way to piggyback on the recent popularity of the royals while at the same time highlighting your own social connections while at the same time generating web traffic for your publication and selling more copies at the newsstand (it must be the time of year when these pubs get ABCed).
Third thought: Who is that bloke in the background?
I'm a fake Brit – living in London now but from Canadian/American descent – but I share in the outrage here and am bitterly disappointed with Newsweek. It's a fluff piece – a real yawner – that lacks editorial integrity and shows a blatant disregard for the late Princess's accomplishments and legacy – not to mention her family and devoted fans who hold on to the person she was, not the person she's imagined to have become. What can we expect next from the magazine? Pippa at 28? Sarah Palin in another pair of gym shorts?
When Tina Brown took over Newsweek in 2010, she said her vision for the magazine would be "about filling the gaps left when a story has seemingly passed."
To me, and to many of my fellow Brits, this is not a gap. It's a Royal gaffe.
Despite BP Disaster, Tourism No Longer "Slip Slidin' Away" for Gulf Shores
Today's guest post is by Peppercomer Sam Ford.
Would last summer's daily dose of tragedy from BP and a gulf full of grade A "black gold…Texas tea" keep you from vacationing on the Gulf of Mexico? We didn't let it, and I couldn't be happier about our experience.
Not too long ago, my family and I decided to take a trip to the beach. My wife and I were married on the beach, a little over 10 years ago, to be exact, in Charleston, SC. But, in all honesty, we hadn't been on much of a vacation since. (Even that wasn't a vacation, since my best man ended up bumming around in our beach house for the first part of the honeymoon, before we could get rid of him.)
So, to say our next beach vacation was a bit overdue is an understatement. Amanda and I are both notoriously bad about having trouble unplugging from work, but we decided to make our trip as device-free as possible, especially to give our 2-year-old daughter (Emma Belle Ford, pictured) some dedicated attention before her little sister arrives in a few months.
The only question was, "Where?" We talked about heading back to South Carolina. But, as we shopped around, we found that the "steal of a deal" was Gulf Shores, Alabama.
I've never been to Gulf Shores. I'd been close by for a basketball team trip to Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., in high school. (My physique might reveal I was a staff member, not a player…) Plenty of family and friends had piled down in years past, including my wife in her youth of summer "extended family vacations." But, given my requirements were really just peace and quiet, it seemed a good fit.
What I wasn't sure of is what the state of Gulf Shores would be. After being hit hard in tourism by the BP oil spill of last season, they'd put some significant effort in convincing people their food was still fresh, their beaches still viable and their town still a destination for your vacation dollars.
And our trip was no disappointment. The people were friendly. Business seemed back up. And there was no shortage of outlet mall shopping, seafood restaurants, and kitschy family activities. We spent most of our time at the pool. (And enjoyed some fine dining at Lambert's Cafe– any place that brings sorghum and fried potatoes by your table for free during dining and aims rolls at your head during the meal is fine by me.)
I ran into a fellow former Kentuckian who helped manage the local donut shop, and she predicted that business would only be down by about a third from two years ago, something to celebrate by standards of the previous summer.
But one sign ensured me that Gulf Shores was "back": when I picked up The Mullet Wrapper, Gulf Shores' local publication of what's happening (and I'm sure the source of much derision from snarky tourists along the way…), staring back at me was Paul Simon.
Now, caveat: I am an ardent Paul Simon fan. His music is the soundtrack of my life. And his latest album was the soundtrack of my vacation, played through I'm sure several dozen times throughout the week. But, according to The Mullet Wrapper, Paul was a sign that the tourist drought had ended for this beach destination. As part of the release of Paul's new album, So Beautiful or So What?, he was headlining their Hangout Music Festival on the beach. (The Foo Fighters were also on the roster of performers, among others.)
Unfortunately, my vacation ended right as the 35,000 people swarmed the beach to see Paul prove he's "still crazy after all these years." But, as I drove back to Kentucky with his new song "Rewrite" playing in the background, I couldn't help but think that Gulf Shores might have just found a rewrite of its own.

Another politician under suspicion for doing something inappropriate – ethically, financially, sexually or otherwise! Can you believe it?
Today's guest post is by former Peppercommer Jeff Kasko.
No, I'm not talking about the ex-Governator from California, but Congressman Anthony Weiner (D – Brooklyn & Queens), a smart, aggressive pol who seems pretty media-savvy and loves the spotlight almost as much as Senator Chuck Schumer does! Apparently, Weiner may have posted a lewd photo (of an aroused man's crotch – with the underwear on) on his Twitter account for all his "followers" to see, even though it was meant only for a certain female college admirer from Seattle who he has allegedly never met.
I'm following the Weiner situation with gusto because of the mix of PR, politics, sex and new media involved. When a public official gets caught doing something stupid, I'm always interested in how they address the crisis, how they face the media piling on, and what tactics they use to protect their reputation before they face the voters again or resign in disgrace. (Full disclosure – I serve as an elected official in my hometown, and, every once in a while, I have a teeny tiny bit of sympathy for the politician facing a media onslaught. But not this time.)
As a Peppercom alumnus (2000-2002), I certainly learned a few things about reputation management and crisis communications from Steve Cody and Ed Moed (for certain clients, not the agency!). Among the basic rules:
• Answer all questions. Don't run away and hide from your predicament.
• Take charge and own the crisis before others do.
• Don't blame others. Take some responsibility
• Don't lie. Be open and honest.
• Be serious and contrite and never joke around about the situation.
• Be smart and careful about using media to help you.
If I were advising Congressman Weiner, I would strongly encourage him to apply some of these basic rules before going out and trying to manage (and mangle) this situation himself. (Further disclosure – I'm a Republican and not at all interested in helping salvage or advance the political career of the newly married gentleman from New York, Mr. Weiner).
So what grade would I give the congressman for his handling of this over the past few days? An F – no question. He's broken most, if not all, of the above rules. We're almost a week into Weinergate and there are now more doubts and more questions about his conduct than before he went on his media tour of morning shows and cable news to try and defend himself and blame others.
Weiner says he was hacked, that this was a prank, and that he doesn't know the college student in Seattle. But he also said he cannot say for sure whether the crotch shot is his or not. That photo — and all others he previously posted — was apparently deleted right after it mistakenly went out to thousands of his followers. And he hasn't turned over his Blackberry and Twitter account to any law enforcement agency or asked for an investigation. This, at the same time that he was making jokes with Washington reporters for "being a little stiff yesterday."
Things didn't get much better this past weekend. Weiner cancelled appearances at a political party convention and the Israel Day parade in New York, and he isn't talking to media anymore.
I don't know if Congressman Weiner is guilty of anything regarding the photo and the tweet and the college girl. But I think the verdict is in on his recent reputation/crisis management efforts. I think it's a textbook PR case of how not to handle a controversy.
It's almost Nixonesque (or Clintonesque, for my Republican friends out there): It's not so much the initial mistake, but the aftermath and how it's handled that makes it so bad.
I'll be online first thing in the morning to see what he says next.
Boys Meet Girl
Today's guest post is by Frieda Smason, (pictured) a senior at Stern College – Yeshiva University.
Last week I learned about the effectiveness of humor in the workplace from Steve Cody, professional comedian and "PR man" (a.k.a. co-founder of Peppercom) who came to speak to our class at Stern College for Women at Yeshiva University. We participated in a series of exercises that are designed to help you loosen up in front of a crowd. Then, each person got up in front of the class and told a short story about something that really bugs them. The goal of the exercise was to make you realize how well humor and business complement each other when you harness humor properly.
I'll tell you something not so funny – I work in an office where I am the only woman. That's right – every single person there is male aside from me. The implications of this are very serious: no skim milk in the fridge – ever! Everyone in the office is at least a foot taller than I am, so the paper towels in the kitchen are always just a little too high for me to reach. The announcement board has "funny" jokes about guy things like "The top ten reasons beer was created." And of course, the toilet seat is, without fail, always up.
Trust me; I didn't think any of these things were funny before Steve gave us the comedy workshop. Living in an apartment with female roommates, I'm used to having at least three people always say "God bless you" when they hear me sneeze and, of course, girls discussing drama about boys all the time.
Now I work in the heart of the "boy drama," where I've learned that boys aren't that dramatic – at all. I'm slowly realizing that it's the girls who make all of it up. Guys just like to sit at their computers and eat take-out. I tried to make small talk once at the water cooler by asking someone how their weekend was. His reply? "Bad."
The story I told in front of my class was about a prank one of my co-workers played on me. The short version is that he sent me an email from my boss's phone saying that I had violated company policy and I was going to be terminated if I didn't mend my behavior immediately. When it happened, it was terrifying, but after telling the story in front of the class I realized how funny it actually was.
It's crazy that telling a two-minute story in front of my peers seemed more daunting than handing over a business presentation to my boss, but now that it's over I know that I can do anything – aside from reaching the paper towels at work.

Fly Anakin – "Ghost" (Feat. Nickelus F)
Posted On : November 30, 2021 Published By : Brandon Hint
In recent years, the Richmond, Virginia rapper and producer Fly Anakin has steadily been building an audience for himself, and he's just been getting better as his profile has grown. Last year, Anakin and Pink Siifu teamed up for the collaborative album FlySiifu's. Earlier this year, they followed that LP with the EP $mokebreak, and Anakin also released his own lovely Pixote EP. On the recent single "Sean Price," Anakin paid tribute to the late Brooklyn rapper of the title. Today, Anakin has shared another single, and it finds him teaming up with another Richmond underground veteran.
Richmond's Nickelus F has been around forever, and he's had a fascinating career. He was in the Unsigned Hype column in The Source in 2000. He was a Freestyle Friday champion on 106 & Park in 2007. He appeared on multiple tracks on Drake's debut mixtape, 2006's Room For Improvement. These days, Nickelus F is a constant presence in Richmond, where he puts out music on punk labels and sometimes plays punk shows. He also put in some great work on Your Old Droog's new album Space Bar. On "Ghost," Fly Anakin and Nickelus F get together to rap hard over a staggered, minor-key beat from Pac Div member Like. Check out the striking No Fun-directed black-and-white video below.

America Wakes Up to the Importance of Liability and the Stupidity of "Caps"
Teachable moments can come almost anytime, from anywhere. The recent history of corporate and professional breakdowns and mess-ups should provide a number of them. Bob Herbert raised the issue in a stinging New York Times column recently when he asked, "Will we learn anything from this disaster ...?" BP was his focus but also on his mind was "how the giant financial firms almost destroyed the American economy" and the "devastating mine explosion in West Virginia -- at a mine run by a company with its own hideous safety record ..."
We'll add to that list the Toyota debacle, drug companies marketing contaminated childrens' medications, builders who pushed defective Chinese drywall into thousands of homes, Delaware doctors who covered-up a pedophile pediatrician who raped children, not to mention more and more dangerous hospitals everywhere. What a couple of months.
Herbert observed that there exists an "unholy alliance" between "the entire spectrum of giant corporations that have used vast wealth to turn democratically elected officials into handmaidens, thus undermining not just the day-to-day interests of the people but the very essence of democracy itself." Hello U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nations' largest lobby group that dumps untold amounts into election campaigns and creates its own "newspapers" and movie commercials to manipulate public opinion. For the Chamber, deregulation and corporate liability limits (so-called "tort reform") are treacherous top priorities. Hello also the thousands of like-minded corporate trade associations and their spokespeople, like mainstream media darling Philip K. Howard, the corporate law partner who has made a career out of attacking corporate regulations and the civil jury system.
For those of us concerned that our civil courts be free of political influence so they can perform their critical functions - compensating those injured by corporate or professional recklessness, protecting us all by supplying financial incentives to keep corporations from running completely amuck, and providing a forum where evidence of misconduct can be forced out into the open- the recent spate of corporate disasters could not have afforded a better teachable moment.
For example, in the financial arena, while there are still far too many legal obstacles in the way of defrauded investors and homeowners, civil lawsuits including those by state Attorneys General, though legally restricted, have been an incredibly important supplement to financial reform and accountability. In West Virginia, luckily the efforts of Massey CEO Don Blankenship to buy judges and politicians, along with those of "tort reform" trade associations that continuously do his bidding, haven't completely worked. Families there should still be able to get some justice, sending a message to mine owners that they will be held accountable.
Then there's BP. Last week, the company testified before Congress about its so-called "promise" to pay all "legitimate" liability claims, arguing that because of its magnanimity, the $75 million cap on liability that Congress gifted them in 1990 was essentially irrelevant. This is a "cap" that no one believes is right except for oil company protectors from oil states who continue to block the Senate's efforts to raise or eliminate it.
This exchange between Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Darryl Willis, BP's vice president for resources, typifies what we can expect:
Nadler pressed Willis repeatedly to define "legitimate." He asked, for example, whether BP would compensate people who, hypothetically, might be injured by the chemical dispersant BP is using to reduce the impact of the oil spill.
"Is that a valid claim?" Nadler asked.
"They can file a claim, yes," Willis said.
"I didn't ask if they can file a claim," Nadler shot back. "Is that a claim that you will pay?"
"Every claim will be evaluated," Willis said.
"Can you answer yes or no, please?" Nadler asked.
Willis would not, as the exchange continued. "We're going to do the right thing. We're going to respond to this in an effective manner, and we realize we're going to be judged based on our response," he said.
Finally we get down to it.
Enter Tom Donahue, head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who opposes lifting the liability cap to help Gulf residents, calling such an effort "not right." He also noted that the Chamber "may choose to be more engaged in the other thing that I was just talking about, and that is how do we dig more gas and oil." More tone-deafness. And just to make sure no one gets any ideas, he says he won't stand for any attempt to "undo" the Chamber's 2005 law that now makes it more difficult to bring class actions against corporate miscreants (think the agrochemicals lawsuit in Michael Clayton).
Fortunately, in light of this mess, many in Congress are rising up against the Chamber's point of view in ways we have never seen before. In addition to trying to eliminate the $75 million oil company liability cap, several Senators are now pushing to reverse the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the Exxon Valdez case that drastically limited "punitive damages" (where a jury finds that a company has been particularly reckless) in "maritime" cases. There are additional efforts to amend an obscure law called the Death on the Highseas Act, an exceptionally unfair law that severely reduces what the families of the 11 men who died in the Deepwater Horizon explosion will be able to recover, a function simply of the rig's physical location.
It wasn't so long ago that Congress was immersed in health care reform and one of the issues that both tea partiers and their Congressional allies kept raising to kill the bill was "tort reform." They wanted to cap the liability of negligent doctors and hospitals, spouting a lot of rhetoric that seemed clearly wrong.
When Congress rejected these measures, some were quick to blame "politics" as if federally "capping" compensation for injured patients were otherwise the right thing to do. It was never the right thing to do. Whether we are talking about reckless oil companies or greedy mine owners or irresponsible car companies or incompetent health care providers, limits on liability do nothing but stop the most deserving from getting properly compensated and lessen the accountability of the grossly negligent. Liability and compensation decisions should be left in the capable hands of judges and juries, and not made by politicians in Washington D.C. This is especially true when the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is breathing down their neck.
Sometimes, the greatest teachable moments come about at the worst times, and only with terrible costs. We can only hope that finally, one important lesson has been learned: that weakening legal accountability by capping compensation to legitimately injured people is a really dumb idea.

A Guide to Over-the-Counter Anxiety Medication
By MS Broudy Ph.D
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems in the United States. It is estimated that 31.1% of American adults experience an anxiety disorder at some point during their lives. The most common medical treatment for anxiety is prescription medication. SSRIs and benzodiazepines, among others, are effective but they exhibit numerous side effects and can become habit-forming. Besides, many people just don't feel comfortable taking prescription drugs. Here are some over-the-counter alternatives and why you may want to consider them.
Types of Over-the-Counter Medications
Several over-the-counter alternatives to the highly effective (and addictive) benzodiazepines possess sedative properties. Antihistamines that contain the active ingredient diphenhydramine, such as Benadryl, can be used for a calming and drowsiness effect. Vistaril (hydroxyzine) is another antihistamine that works similarly. You are going to see several treatments in this article that are sedatives. That is because when you are calm and sleepy you aren't anxious.
These medications, however, were not created to help with anxiety. They are allergy medications and have not been approved for continual use by anxiety sufferers. Further, because they cause drowsiness, people must be cautious about their use during non-sleeping hours.
Many people swear by herbal treatments to help reduce anxiety. Regrettably, they have not been heavily studied for use as anti-anxiety treatments. In addition, they generally do not work as well as prescription drugs. Here are herbal medicines that have been associated with decreased anxiety:
Much like Benadryl, Valerian has a sedative effect. It is often recommended as a sleep aid. It is noted to have a peculiar smell so many people prefer to take it in capsule form. Depending on the study, it has been found to have a significant effect on anxiety or none at all. Side effects including headaches, dizziness, and drowsiness are possible.
Have you ever had anyone suggest chamomile tea to settle your nerves? Chamomile has long been associated with a calming effect. Research, however, has exhibited largely inconclusive results. Be aware: it can increase the risk of bleeding when using certain blood thinners. It can also cause reactions in people that are allergic to related plants, such as ragweed.
The support for passionflower as an anti-anxiety agent appears to be growing. Although it may not have as large an effect as some other over-the-counter options, there is some evidence of its effectiveness for the treatment of generalized anxiety. It is also generally safe and it does not make you sleepy. As a result, it is approved for use with other treatments that may cause drowsiness.
Green tea has a reputation for being good for you. But did you know it has anti-anxiety properties? L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea that has been associated with anxiety reduction. And it is relatively safe. The problem for tea lovers is that you need to drink at least five cups to get a significant anti-anxiety effect. Make sure you are near a bathroom.
Aromatherapy has a lot of fans and many of them find lavender relaxing. It has considerable anecdotal support as a calming agent. It is not surprising to find the smell of lavender used in spas and massage parlors to set the appropriate mood. Lavender does show evidence in decreasing anxiety, but only if you take it orally. Its use in aromatherapy, sadly, does not share the same empirical support.
Of all the herbal supplements, Kava is probably the most researched in relation to anxiety. There have been numerous studies indicating its effectiveness, especially with generalized anxiety. Unfortunately, the use of Kava has been linked with liver toxicity. Although it may be the most effective herbal supplement, it also carries the most serious risk.
Antihistamines and herbal products make up the majority of over-the-counter anxiety medications but there are other options that you may want to consider:
Melatonin has long been recommended as a natural sleep aid. Not surprisingly, that sedative quality also makes it attractive for anxiety sufferers. It has been used effectively to treat preoperative anxiety as a replacement for benzodiazepines. One of its most advantageous qualities is that it has been used extensively without the report of significant side effects.
Inositol is a carbohydrate that is linked with serotonin production. Serotonin levels have long been implicated in the development of depression and anxiety. Although the research is not entirely conclusive, inositol has shown promise in reducing panic attacks and agoraphobia.
Magnesium appears to play a role in the part of the brain related to stress and anxiety. Deficiencies in the mineral are associated with increased anxiety. In order to put more magnesium in your diet, you can ingest it naturally through certain foods, including spinach, avocado, and nuts. If those choices do not appeal to you, it also comes in supplements.
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
5-HTP is an amino acid necessary for the production of serotonin in the brain. Similar to inositol, it is thought that an increase in 5-HTP will reduce anxiety. Research, however, is somewhat inconclusive. While some studies show anxiety reduction, others point to 5-HTP making anxiety worse.
You take Tylenol for physical pain so why not emotional distress? Interestingly enough, it has been found to dull stressful feelings in the same way it masks physical aches. Tylenol contains acetaminophen, which appears to act as an anti-anxiety agent, alleviating social anxiety and worries about death. Unfortunately, the ingredients in other pain relievers (e.g., Ibuprofen) do not appear to have the same anxiety-reducing effects.
Over-the-Counter Anxiety Medications Safe?
Many people hear the words herbal, vitamins, and natural and think they are automatically safe. Sadly, that is far from true. Most of the over-the-counter options for anxiety are unregulated by any government agency. As a result, it is unclear how herbal remedies and supplements impact people at certain dosages and lengths of administration. It is generally thought that the side effects of over-the-counter medications are less severe but most have not been extensively tested for long-term use.
While these treatments are undoubtedly less addictive than benzodiazepines, they can still be subject to abuse. Any substance that acts as a way to escape anxiety and depression can be habit-forming.
Do Over-the-Counter Anxiety Medications Work?
This is probably the number one question about non-prescription treatments. And the evidence is mixed. While some studies support every medicine on this list as an anxiety reducer, others exhibit contradictory or insignificant findings. A lot of the studies involving over-the-counter medicines are done with small samples and poor research designs. Besides antihistamines, the effectiveness of almost every over-the-counter medicine for anxiety can be debated.
Caution About Anxiety Medication
Anxiety needs to be consistently confronted if you are going to manage it successfully. Medication, by its very nature, serves more as a way to overcome the symptoms. Therefore, it may help in the present but it will not cure long-term anxiety.
Psychotherapy, on the other hand, will help you to learn strategies and resolve issues that can lessen anxiety for the rest of your life. That being said, medication might be able to give you the boost you need to confront your anxiety. It is especially necessary if you are having difficulty with everyday functioning. Once you are feeling healthier and more in control of your life, however, you may want to speak with your doctor about gradually scaling back on medicine and focus more on developing your coping skills.
Substances to Avoid
When considering what you may want to put into your body, there are some substances you should avoid. Caffeine, sugar, and excessive alcohol use can all worsen anxiety.
Caffeine is a stimulant. It makes you feel jittery and mimics anxiety symptoms. It can even trigger a panic attack.
You may feel like alcohol makes you less anxious but it can be just the opposite. There is a condition called substance-induced anxiety disorder, which can be provoked by alcohol and caffeine. In addition, some people use alcohol to escape from anxious feelings which only makes it worse when the effects wear off.
Eating sugar causes spikes in our blood sugar which may prompt anxiety and mood swings. Further, one study exhibits how sugar actually decreases our ability to deal with stress.
The moral of the story for anxiety sufferers: alcohol, caffeine, and sugar should only be consumed in moderation or not at all. A healthy well-balanced diet is recommended to help with anxiety symptoms.
The Bottom Line on Over-the-Counter Options
The biggest advantage of over-the-counter medicines is that they are easy to obtain and use. Walk into most drug stores and a few minutes later you will likely have what you want. They also tend to be less addictive and appear to have fewer side effects than traditional anxiety medication.
However, due to a lack of research, many of the effects of long-term use are unknown. The biggest disadvantage is they don't appear to be as effective as prescription drugs. If you have decided that you need to take something for anxiety, and prescription medication is not for you, over-the-counter medicines may be worth a try. Do yourself a favor, though, and combine it with psychotherapy for lasting change.

Die Amateur Radio Society of India (ARSI), , ist die nationale Vereinigung der Funkamateure in Indien.

Zweck
Die ARSI ist eine gemeinnützige Gesellschaft mit dem Ziel, das Wissen über Theorie und Praxis der Funktechnik und der Elektronik zu mehren und weiterzugeben. Sie fördert den Ideenaustausch zum Thema unter ihren Mitgliedern und dient den Menschen durch Zurverfügungstellung von Kommunikationsverbindungen in Notfällen, wie bei Unfällen oder Naturkatastrophen. Funkamateure aus anderen Ländern sind in der ARSI willkommen.

Sie vertritt ihre Mitglieder vor in- und ausländischen Behörden und Organisationen und betreibt ein eigenes QSL-Kartenbüro. Ferner gibt sie ein vierteljährlich erscheinendes Magazin namens Ham Radio News heraus, das frei verfügbar ist (siehe Weblinks).

Die ARSI ist Mitglied in der International Amateur Radio Union (IARU Region 3), der internationalen Vereinigung von Amateurfunkverbänden, und vertritt dort die Interessen der Funkamateure des Landes.

Geschichte
Das Hobby Amateurfunk wurde in Indien in den frühen 1920er Jahren zuerst von einigen Offizieren der Fernmeldetruppe (Signal Corps) ausgeübt. Sie erhielten die ersten Amateurfunklizenzen und gründeten einen Amateurfunkclub in der Garnisonstadt Mhow im Bundesstaat Madhya Pradesh. Nachdem es zunächst hauptsächlich Soldaten waren, die in den Genuss einer Funklizenz kamen, gelang es in den 1930er Jahren auch immer mehr Zivilpersonen, eine Funkerlaubnis zu erhalten.

Nach einer durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg verursachten schmerzlichen Unterbrechung erwachte der Amateurfunk zu neuem Leben. Im Jahr 1954 wurde die Amateur Radio Society of India (ARSI) gegründet und in Delhi offiziell registriert. Sie wirkte zunächst von hier aus, bevor sie in den späten 1980er Jahren nach Madras (heutiger Name: Chennai) verlegt wurde.

Im Jahr 1995 fusionierte sie mit der Federation of Amateur Radio Society of India (FARSI) unter Beibehaltung ihres bisherigen Namens. Unmittelbar danach verlegte sie ihren Hauptsitz nach Mumbai. Im Jahr 2003 zog sie erneut um und bezog den heutigen Sitz in Bengaluru.

In terms of financial sustainability, constant revenues from timber and carbon credits form a reliable source of income. However, Form Ghana doesn't stop at their own commercial interest but aims to contribute to the economy at a local, national and global scale as well. Important aspects include boosting the local economy, applying a viable business model, stimulating investments in the (plantation) forestry sector and meeting global demand for sustainable timber.
Form Ghana currently employs circa 500 workers mainly from fringing communities, which makes it one of the largest employers in the region. This creates business opportunities for smallholders in the vicinity of the company. A benefit sharing agreement has been signed, ensuring that at least 10% of the revenues flow back to the Forestry Commission, traditional landowners and the local communities. In the near future, timber processing of logs harvested by Form Ghana will create a new field of employment and value adding in Ghana. Finally, the Government of Ghana receives tax payments as is due.
Economic sustainability is assured through good financial returns from teak (Tectona grandis) round-wood production. A constant supply of timber is assured by the rotational harvest and the heterogeneous character of the plantation: a mix of teak and indigenous species is planted with a maximum of 90% teak.
Global demand for (sustainably produced) timber continues to grow and will exceed supply. Teak is a fast growing hardwood species that produces high quality timber and planting it has the potential to decrease the gap between supply and demand in a foreseeable future. Form Ghana intends to guarantee the long-term sustainable production of high quality timber.
Certified carbon credits add to the viable revenue stream in this pioneer sustainable business model and decrease the investment hurdle. This can significantly enhance the economic sustainability and pave the road for increased future investments to initiate new reforestation projects in Ghana.
Increased investments in the forestry subsector will contribute to Ghana's sustainable economic growth and (value added) exports of timber products. It will also turn the vast area of degraded forest lands into an economically productive and environmentally well managed region.

Michigan basketball upset by last-place Penn State: 'They punked us'

Michigan basketball upset by last-place Penn State: 'They punked us' Charles Matthews was not pleased after Michigan's loss to Penn State, which had one previous Big Ten win Check out this story on Freep.com: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2019/02/13/michigan-basketball-penn-state/2855901002/
Orion Sang, Detroit Free Press Published 1:23 a.m. ET Feb. 13, 2019 | Updated 1:25 a.m. ET Feb. 13, 2019
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Deep within the Bryce Jordan Center, Charles Matthews stood by himself, looking down at a postgame stat sheet he held in his hands.
Matthews barely looked up as he answered questions. His voice was quiet, but still held a measure of determination — along with plenty of frustration.
As Matthews' eyes scanned the page, he was asked about what happened in the first half of Michigan basketball's 75-69 loss to Penn State — and summed up his team's loss in three words.
"They punked us," Matthews said. "Simple as that. They outrebounded us by 10. You're not winning a game giving a team 12 offensive rebounds.
"All of y'all flattered by (who's) scoring points, that (expletive) don't matter. It's all about who's gonna rebound and who's gonna defend."
For Matthews and the Wolverines, Tuesday night was a low point in a season that hasn't had many.

The day began with Michigan atop the Big Ten standings. Penn State sat in last. Then the game was played, leaving the Wolverines with their worst loss of the season.
Michigan (22-3, 11-3 Big Ten) started lethargic on both ends in front of a sparse crowd and against a team that had one win in conference play.
Penn State knocked down a few early 3s. Then the Nittany Lions found success against the nation's second-best defense with a small-ball lineup featuring 6-foot-8 forward Lamar Stevens at center.
"Stopping Stevens one on one is really hard for us," said Michigan coach John Beilein. "And I thought when they went small, that was a big difference for us."
Mostly attacking center Jon Teske, Stevens scored 15 first-half points. A buzzer-beating layup from Rasir Bolton gave Penn State a 40-27 lead.
It was the most Michigan has given up in any half this season. And the final play also cost the Wolverines their coach.

Beilein, who had been ejected just once before in his entire career, argued with officials over what Michigan perceived as an illegal screen set on point guard Zavier Simpson during the final possession.
He picked up two technicals and watched the rest of the game on a TV in the locker room.
"I mean, I haven't been thrown out of a game since I think it was 1978, 1979 — about 20 years before most of you were born," Beilein said. "You know me, I very rarely ever get technicals, so I'll deal with the league office going forward and see what I could do differently."
Beilein's ejection left assistant coach Saddi Washington, who served as interim coach during the team's exhibition trip to Spain in August, in charge.
Out of halftime, Penn State hit three of four free throws assessed from the technical fouls to take a 16-point lead.
It was a nearly unthinkable deficit for a team that has rarely trailed by as much this season.
"The game was decided in the first half," Matthews said. "We came back and fought, Saddi did a hell of a job coaching, but the game was lost in the first half."
Nearly everything that could've went wrong for the Wolverines did. Beilein missed the entire second half, Ignas Brazdeikis played 17 minutes while dealing with foul trouble and Michigan finished with 12 turnovers to 10 assists.
Still, the Wolverines found themselves in the game. By the 12:02 mark, they had cut Penn State's lead to five. At the 8:21 mark, a free throw cut the deficit to four.
But Michigan couldn't get closer. Myles Dread responded with a 3-pointer, one of five on the night, and when the Wolverines got the lead down to six points with 4:55 left, Penn State responded with a 5-0 run.
The Nittany Lions made more plays in the first half — and they held on with enough key plays in the second, including two blocks from Stevens on transition layup attempts from Michigan.
"I thought we were pretty resilient in the second half," Washington said. "Our biggest thing was just try to win each four-minute battle.
"I think we won probably the first three. And then they made, I think, their five-point run, we were playing catch-up the rest of the way. It's tough. Even down the stretch, I think we made some solid plays to put ourselves back in the position."
For Michigan, there's no immediate good that comes from the loss. The loss of Beilein hurt, but the Wolverines came out flat on the road and were outplayed for much of the game.
That didn't get the job done against Penn State, which remains in last place in the conference. And it won't get the job done against other teams, either, as Michigan enters the final stretch of the regular season.
"We gotta find some silver lining in it, and I'm not gonna hang my head and quit before the end of the season, we gotta go out fighting, nothing to lose," Matthews said. "Get my teammates to rally on with me, we gotta be better."
His message to his teammates going forward?
"Don't get punked," Matthews said. "It's simple. Don't get punked."

My experience with print is not all that extensive. I'm used to working at 72 dpi, so when the opportunity comes along to do something which will leave my hands and go to A Mysterious Service Bureau, I'm a little trepiditious. Will they laugh at my design? Will I get a call from a haughty printer? "What the hell were you thinking? You didn't include the fonts/metrics/other stuff we need!" Will they ask for something I don't even know about?
In its final form it was a tri-fold design, with a smaller 3rd flap which was more or less ornamental. The Roman numeral VII designated this as VTE's seventh season.
Hmph. I don't know how this evolved into a portfolio presentation, but it seems to have done just that. I guess it's just a trip working at 600 dpi. I'm glad I don't do it every day, though–my computer crawls when working at that resolution.

Q: Java - Enable combobox My code looks like this:
public class ReservationsWindow extends JFrame {

        private JLabel lblDriver;
        private JComboBox cbDriver;

        private JComboBox cbDispathcer;
        private JLabel lblDispatcher;

        private JLabel lblVehicle;
        private JComboBox cbVehicle;

        private JRadioButton rbMobileApp;
        private JRadioButton rbTelephoneCall;
        private ButtonGroup bgOrder;

        private JLabel lblNote;
        private JTextField txtNote;

        private JButton btnAplly;

        private void initActions() {
            rbMobileApp.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                @Override
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    rbMobileApp.addItemListener(evt -> {
                        cbDriver.setEnabled(evt.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED);
                        txtNote.setEnabled(evt.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED);
                    });
                }
            });
            rbTelephoneCall.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                @Override
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    rbTelephoneCall.addItemListener(evt -> {
                        cbDispatcher.setEnabled(evt.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED);
                    });
                }
            });

I want to enable combobox depending on which radiobutton is checked. But, when window is open for the first time all Comboboxs are enabled, then I have to click on one of them (and it's still everything is enabled), and only then when I click again on other radiobutton everything works fine. I want to everything works fine on first click. How to fix that?

Canadian Waste Provider Completes 10 Acquisitions in First Year
TAGS: Financials The Business Recycling Transfer Stations
E360S, Canada's newest and fastest-growing waste services provider, expects even more growth through 2020.
Waste360 Staff | Mar 02, 2020
Environmental 360 Solutions (E360S), one of Canada's newest and fastest-growing waste services providers, completed 10 acquisitions in its first year. And E360S Founder Danny Ardellini says there will be no slowing down in 2020, Recycling Product News reports.
E360S operations span from Kelowna, B.C., to multiple locations in Alberta, including Calgary, Medicine Hat and Red Deer, and into Ontario, in Barrie, Cornwall, Napanee, Sudbury, Belleville, Kapuskasing and Timmins. The company runs more than 120 trucks across all operations, many of which are now powered by natural gas, and owns multiple facilities, including several recycling plants and a transfer station.
Recycling Product News has more:
Danny Ardellini started in the waste and recycling industry in 1989, working for a family-owned waste services business in Ajax, Ontario. In January 2000, Ardellini founded National Waste Services (NWS). Starting with a single truck, this business grew to provide residential waste and recycling collection services to over 400,000 households in Hamilton, Toronto and other communities in southern Ontario, along with commercial and industrial customers. In 2008 NWS merged with GFL, just as that company (now among the ten largest waste management companies in North America) was getting its start in the industry.
Soon after the merge with GFL, Ardellini decided to take a break. That break lasted nearly ten years until 2018 when he "woke up one day and decided to get back in the business." Through that summer he raised money, aligned partners and investors, and in November, 2018, made the first acquisition as CEO and founder of E360S: Can Pak Environmental Inc. based in Red Deer, Alberta. His primary partners in the new endeavour included Almada Inc., a Toronto-based investment firm, Dave Gurney, a former partner in the NWS business, engineering entrepreneur Jason Claxton, and retired National Hockey League Hall of Fame player, Paul Coffey.

Gordon Robertson's Memorial and Family

Jessica Robertson is organizing this fundraiser.
Gordon Robertson--beloved husband, father, blues musician supporter, tireless volunteer, and compassionate humanitarian--was recently diagnosed with a stage-4 colon cancer shortly after his 66th birthday.
In just a few short weeks, Gordon was hospitalized and deemed inoperable and not a candidate for chemo or radiation therapy, and moved into home hospice care. His family has been mostly removed from work, as his condition requires around-the-clock care. Additionally, his diagnosis came just before renewing his life-insurance policy, which was rendered un-renewable because of his rapidly declining health.
Our Request: If there ever was one, Gordon is such a man who deserves a distinguished memorial. His family also needs assistance with medical expenses and living costs while tending to him during the last part of his life.
About Gordon: There aren't enough words to describe his devotion as a caring, supportive, and involved father to his two daughters. In fact, "father" is too austere a word. Gordon was a D-A-D dad. And as an altruist, Gordon is the real deal. He used his time and talents to help many people. As the founder, ride director, and board president of the Ride for Heroes, Gordon helped raise more than half a million dollars for volunteer fire-fighters and first responders. After passing that torch, he threw himself into helping refugee families learn English, become acclimated to a new country, and provided them living necessities as they got their footing. He also made himself available on a moment's notice to be of service to people in recovery from addiction. And as a passionate blues music lover, Gordon served on the board of the Trinity Blues Society, helping to uncover talent of local blues artists. Gordon's body will be donated to science, to help study the unique and aggressive form of cancer that is taking him from us so early.
Our hope is that you'll help us give this family man and philanthropist a rockin' and heartfelt send-off "into the mystic," as well as care for our family in our time of need and healing.
Ride for Heroes Dedication

Sunday School begins at 9:45 a.m. each Sunday. If you are seeking a group, stop by our Welcome Center on Sunday where one of our Sunday School leaders will be glad to help. A variety of classes meet and are grouped by age/life stage, or by particular themes or formats. There are both co-ed classes and gender specific classes for adults, as well as age-graded classes for children and youth. Classes are listed below.
Our preschool Sunday School meets on the first floor of the children's building. We have classes for infants/toddlers and up through pre-K. Parents will be given a pager when checking children into the preschool/extended session department, so as to be located if the need arises.
At 9:45 am, all children in K-3rd are invited to Opening Session, a brief time of prayer and announcements in the choir suite (2nd floor children's building). They then dismiss to their classes (K-1st, 2nd-3rd). 4th-5th graders meet in the youth wing, lower level.
Youth begin the Sunday School hour with fellowship time in the main youth room, then split into middle school and high school classes (youth wing, lower level). Classes are topical and conversational.
Emerging adults, from college students to 20-something professionals, make up this conversational Bible study that meets in the conference room. Usually follows the Nurturing Faith series.
Discovery is a group of "younger middle" adults, 3o to 40-somethings, many with younger children. In recent years, the class has served as a welcoming point for people who are "new to Central" or who have returned after growing up here. Usually, they follow the Formations Bible Study series. Official start time is 10 a.m., after dropping off children for class at 9:45 a.m.
Explorers of Faith is a multi-generational group of men and women (couples and singles) who are especially interested in supporting one another through fellowship and friendship in a solid support structure. Many are parents of children, teens, and young adults. They use a variety of studies, currently the Formations series.
This book-study oriented, discussion-based class explores deeper questions of faith, with a particular interests in Celtic and contemplative Christianity. Favorite authors include John Philip Newell and Richard Rohr. The group is intended to provide open space for dialogue for those from diverse theological perspectives.
A group of men and women in their forties, fifties, and beyond, the Journey of Life Class is interested in learning more about the Bible and how it relates and can be applied to their everyday lives. They are currently using the Formations series, with occasional studies on a book or video series.
The name of the "Helping Hands Class" speaks for itself. Composed of adult couples ranging in age from 50 and up, they share a love of the Lord, studying His word, and fellowship. Many are involved in other church activities such as choir, instrumental ensemble, deacons, ushers, Broken Loaves, CARITAS, preparing Wednesday night suppers, serving on the premises and other committees, bringing the elderly to church, and anything else for which there is a need. The class is led by teachers who promote interaction between the members. Classes are scripturally-based and all opinions and comments are welcomed and discussed. Our Lord is at the center of all topics. Growing and maturing in His likeness, as well as sharing His love with others, is always at the forefront.
Good News is a group of mature men from their mid-forties to their mid-nineties. Our objective is to become better disciples of Christ through study and example. We have open discussion and feel that the participatory method is best for learning. We serve our church, our community and one another. This gives us an opportunity to see our friends and neighbors and to encourage others to become Christian disciples. We accept the Great Commission and support international, state, and local missions.
