THURSDAY, May 23, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- It's a simple concept, but new research reinforces the idea: Teens with type 1 diabetes benefit when they feel their concerns have been heard.
Teens with type 1 diabetes may experience anger, frustration and anxiety if they haven't met their treatment goals. Their parents and health care providers may also feel frustrated and may blame the teen. But the new study suggests that interventions designed to improve diabetes-related care and communication could improve a teen's diabetes self-management.
"The biggest thing people don't understand about living with type 1 diabetes is that patients become physicians essentially, and doctors and staff become consultants," said the study's lead author, Dr. Harold Starkman. He's the director of pediatric endocrinology at the BD Diabetes Center at Atlantic Health System's Goryeb Children's Hospital in Morristown, N.J.
"Families and teens who have type 1 diabetes have the responsibility of caring for diabetes all the time. They have to figure out how much insulin they need, what to eat, count the carbohydrates in the food, consider the impact of diabetes," he explained.
Most teens are trying to do the best they can, but it's a lot of responsibility, he said. And, it's frustrating to ask for help when you're a teenager.
"Normally, teens need to separate from their parents and move on, but for teens with type 1 diabetes, diabetes is a tether," Starkman said.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to mistakenly attack healthy insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps usher the sugar from foods into the body's cells to be used as fuel. This attack leaves people with type 1 diabetes with little to no insulin.
To survive, they must take insulin injections or receive insulin from an insulin pump multiple times a day, every day for the rest of their lives. They also must monitor their blood sugar levels to ensure they haven't given themselves too much or too little insulin, either of which can be dangerous.
Dr. Mary Pat Gallagher, director of the pediatric diabetes center at NYU Langone Health in New York City, agreed that diabetes can be tough for teens as they're trying to develop their independence.
"Diabetes raises the stakes on the usual adolescent journey," Gallagher said.
"Type 1 diabetes requires constant vigilance, and that's challenging for teens who have many other developmental tasks. Just as other adolescents do, teens with type 1 diabetes are trying to become separate from their families. They're also trying to identify with their peers and fit in with their peer group, and diabetes can make them feel different from their peer group," she explained.
At the same time, Gallagher said, parents may worry more because if their child doesn't do what they need to do, they could be putting their health in danger.
Teens may react to the pressure by trying to ignore their diabetes care by skipping insulin doses, or not checking their blood sugar levels.
Starkman said that "kids rebel by pretending they don't have diabetes." And that can backfire because it may leave teens feeling guilty and scared, he said.
For the study, the researchers interviewed nine teens with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes about their diabetes care. They also spoke with the teens' parents and their health care providers.
The researchers found similar themes of anger, frustration, guilt and anxiety among teens, parents and providers.
The key to breaking these cycles is open communication, Starkman said. For example, a mother might become angry with a teen who didn't test his blood sugar. The teen just sees the anger, and might not realize she's angry because she's scared.
On the flip side, the teen may have missed his last blood sugar check, but maybe it was his fourth or fifth one of the day, and he'd also had to give himself two shots of insulin. And now he's frustrated and mad that mom didn't see everything he did remember to do.
"We have to work on getting away from being angry or being judgmental. Rather than telling kids what to do, ask questions: 'It must be really difficult to do all of this. How can I help?' Or, if the teen has an issue -- maybe they're going to prom and don't know what to do with their insulin pump. Say, 'How can we solve this problem together? Maybe you could do shots during prom weekend? Or, wear your pump somewhere people won't see it?'" Starkman said.
He added that it's very difficult to have optimal diabetes management unless you have good communication.
For parents and providers, Gallagher recommended not focusing on diabetes right away. With her own patients, she said she asks them what's going on in their lives so she develops a relationship with them.
Gallagher said it's important to remain available to teens and to check-in frequently. But she added that you can let them lead the way. "Try to ask how you can be helpful to them. Do they need any supplies? Do they want you to help look at their blood glucose patterns?" she suggested.
The researchers also recommended acknowledging a teen's efforts, and trying to focus less on just the blood sugar control numbers.
Starkman said it's extra important to keep teens engaged because they'll soon be transitioning to adult diabetes, and the researchers noted that nearly one-third don't seek care as adults until they have complications.
Findings from the study were published in the American Psychological Association's Families, Systems, & Health journal.

The last time that Gloria Allred took on Donald Trump, she won.
It was 2012 and Jenna Talackova, a transgender model, had just been barred from the Miss Universe beauty pageant because she was not a "naturally born" woman. A certain celebrity businessman who would one day enter politics and seek to Make America Great Again co-owned the competition. Talackova knew exactly who to contact. She placed a call to a 5ft 2in Los Angeles lawyer with a flair for making powerful people extremely uncomfortable.


Why speak of 'the edge of joy'? Joy arises on the cusp of our capacity to be touched freshly by life - to be surprised. We cannot command 'joy', but we can develop our ability to live in such a way that joy arises more frequently, and registers more fully in us, altering our sense of goodness, abundance and vitality.
Fra Giovanni's line: 'the gloom of the world is but a shadow...behind it, yet within reach, is joy...' captures how joy may often be found 'just behind' or 'inside' an experience that we may be interpreting as difficult or painful. Her assertion that joy is 'within reach' even in the midst of apparent gloom, asks us to look more closely, to see 'what else' is happening, which may be evading our notice.
Counterintuitively, joy is also often found when we slow down. This is because - while the mind can experience excitement - joy is often more sensual and subtle. We may be transported by presence, by a quality of calm, by a moment of perception of beauty or love, by an unanticipated look of happiness in a child or stranger.
The core question when it comes to joy is one of freshness and repetition: Are we available to be touched in the present, by life's unfoldment before us, within us, or are we mentally preoccupied in a way that obscures our contact with Being?
In this workshop, we explore our relationship with joy: identifying the history of joy within us, becoming more conscious of what obscures joy for us, and clarifying the personal flavour of joy that feels most precious and authentic to us. The day is designed to support and refine our capacity for joy.


 The question on this appeal is whether the criminal prohibition that puts a person to this choice violates her Charter rights to life, liberty and security of the person (s. 7) and to equal treatment by and under the law (s. 15). This is a question that asks us to balance competing values of great importance. On the one hand stands the autonomy and dignity of a competent adult who seeks death as a response to a grievous and irremediable medical condition. On the other stands the sanctity of life and the need to protect the vulnerable.
 The Society maintains that Mr. Kopyto is ungovernable by the Society. This is hardly surprising, since Mr. Kopyto affirms categorically that he is governed by his conscience. Near the conclusion of our lengthy hearing on the merits, he advised the panel that he will be retiring from active paralegal practice, but will continue to help people who require his assistance. If granted a Class P1 licence, his stated intention is to continue to disregard By-Law 4 insofar as it restricts the scope of paralegal practice when his conscience so dictates. If a Class P1 licence is denied, he intends to disregard the law and continue to provide legal services when his help is required.
 The panel has no difficulty finding that Mr. Kopyto is ungovernable and that this aspect of his character is inconsistent with a finding that he is presently of good character. A person who asserts he or she will not follow the rules of the paralegal profession they seek to enter is not of good character.
 The first issue raised by this appeal is the role, if any, that the respondent has to investigate and regulate the conduct of lawyers within the courtroom. It raises an important issue, at least in part, because there has been increasing concern over the last number of years that the conduct of lawyers is becoming less and less civil – both inside and outside the courtroom. This concern has led to many initiatives directed at reinforcing in the minds of all lawyers the need for civility in their dealings with each other, with the courts, and with the public. For example, in 2001, The Advocates' Society (which is an intervener in this case) published The Principles of Civility for Advocates, which was revised and reissued in 2009.
 It is not clear where this increase in incivility comes from. Perhaps it is a result of demands by clients who, completely unfamiliar with what actually constitutes effective advocacy, believe that an aggressive lawyer is an effective lawyer. The more aggressive, the more effective. Given the competition for business, a lawyer may not wish to demonstrate a lack of aggressiveness for fear that such clients will prefer to entrust their matter to other lawyers who mirror the client's perception of the effective advocate. Perhaps it is also the result of the frequent image of lawyers in television shows, and in other media, where actors portray lawyers in a particular fashion unrestrained by any need to represent reality and without any concern for the reputation of the legal system. Good advocacy often does not make good television.
 Au Canada, le fait d'aider une personne à mettre fin à ses jours constitue un crime. Par conséquent, les personnes gravement et irrémédiablement malades ne peuvent demander l'aide d'un médecin pour mourir et peuvent être condamnées à une vie de souffrances aiguës et intolérables. Devant une telle perspective, deux solutions s'offrent à elles : soit mettre fin prématurément à leurs jours, souvent par des moyens violents ou dangereux, soit souffrir jusqu'à ce qu'elles meurent de causes naturelles. Le choix est cruel.
 Il faut déterminer dans le présent pourvoi si la prohibition criminelle qui impose ce choix à une personne viole les droits que lui garantit la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés — le droit à la vie, à la liberté et à la sécurité de la personne (art. 7) et le droit à l'égalité devant la loi (art. 15). Trancher cette question nous oblige à pondérer des valeurs opposées d'une grande importance. D'une part, il y a l'autonomie et la dignité d'un adulte capable qui cherche dans la mort un remède à des problèmes de santé graves et irrémédiables. D'autre part, il y a le caractère sacré de la vie et la nécessité de protéger les personnes vulnérables.

Q: Console Input in Swift So I am trying to make a text-based game, but I cannot find out in the ibook about Swift made by apple how to get input from the console. I have tried a few ways that I saw on here, but I did not really understand how to use those methods.

A: It doesn't look like there are any input stream facilities in the Swift standard library. But you still have options:

*

*import Darwin and use scanf or getc or your favorite POSIX level input routine

*import Foundation and use NSInputStream, NSScanner etc.

Coinbase says it's looking into its controversial new acquisition that triggered a #DeleteCoinbase campaign on Twitter.
The backlash began after Coinbase revealed a February acquisition: Neutrino, a blockchain analytics company that has spearheaded projects for the startup Hacking Team. According to Motherboard, Coinbase was well aware that Hacking Team sold spyware to governments with a history of human rights abuses, including Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia.
In a report published in 2013 by Reporters Without Borders, Hacking Team is one of five companies singled out as an "enemy of the internet".
Some Coinbase customers are deleting their accounts to send a clear message that they won't tolerate strategic partnerships that value profits over people.
Not that I'm @coinbase's biggest customer by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm done.
I was never a fan, but this is too much. Thanks @davidzmorris, @arjunblj, @J9Roem for bringing this to light.
I made excuses for @coinbase far longer than they deserved.
Coinbase's head of sales Christine Sandler told Cheddar the company is investigating the issue.
"We are aware of the backgrounds of some of the folks that were involved in Neutrino, and we are looking into that. The compelling reason for making the acquisition was that Neutrino had some really industry leading and best-in-class technology.
Adding fresh fuel to the backlash, however, Sandler noted that some of Coinbase's former business partners sold customer data – a revelation that triggered more outrage on Twitter. Tuur Demeester of Adamant Capital questioned how admitting that Coinbase worked with unethical companies explains its decision to work with more unethical people.
– How long have you known?
As Coinbase is under fire for its strategic alliances, the Neutrino acquisition overshadows earlier efforts by CEO Brian Armstrong to help oppressed people around the world. Last year, Armstrong launched GiveCrypto, a philanthropic initiative that distributes cryptocurrency to people living in poverty.

Michelle?Obama made her first foray into the 2012 presidential campaign Thursday, telling donors that her husband needs them to "work like you have never worked before" so he can finish the job he started.
Though the first lady said President Barack Obama has accomplished much in almost 2? years, she told a Democratic Party women's group that there's a lot more to do, with a long and difficult campaign ahead.
Addressing the Democratic National Committee's Women's Leadership Forum's annual national issues conference, the first lady hit many of the same notes as the president has in his recent campaign speeches.
She talked about turning around an economy in decline, cutting taxes for the middle class, overhauling the health care and financial systems and providing more financial aid for college students. She mentioned repealing the ban on gay military service and bringing home troops from Iraq after the end of formal combat operations.
"He needs you to work like you have never worked before, people," she said.
Since part of her mission was to appeal to women, a core Democratic constituency, Mrs. Obama noted that the president had put two "brilliant" women on the Supreme Court and had made signing an equal pay law one of his first acts in the White House.
In 2008, Mrs. Obama overcame early reservations about Obama's decision to run for president and ended up becoming a popular stand-in for him on the campaign trail. On Thursday, she discussed her cynicism about that campaign and politics in general and said she'd work harder this time, too.
Mrs. Obama spoke last Sunday at a private fundraiser for younger Obama supporters in Atlanta, but Thursday's speech was her first before a large group during this campaign cycle.
Last fall, she made about a half-dozen appearances on behalf of Democratic Senate candidates campaigning for the midterm elections but has no formal campaign schedule for the year.
In her remarks Thursday, Mrs. Obama didn't mention any of the Republicans who are running or thinking about running against her husband. But implicit in the 20-minute speech was the sentiment that Obama is the one who will make the country a better place for their children and grandchildren.
Proceeds from the conference were going to the Obama Victory Fund to be shared between the Democratic National Committee and Obama's re-election campaign.
Democratic officials declined to say how much money was raised, citing competitive reasons.
The president was scheduled to address the group Thursday evening.


Thanks.My sons went to school with Max and his older-but shorter- brother Adam! Both level headed young men.So are Max's parents.
If l get Kayo are past games during the 2018 season able to watched again?
This photo is one of the training routines-can somebody explain what it means?
Love the name Harvey Timothy.
I was at training .Petracca is in great condition.Built like the proverbial brick out house.
Went to Friday training and Vanders looked great.Participated in all the drills.
Coach Plapp said that each training session was taped and reviewed.Just sayin.
I was there. A couple of observations:Steven May is a big unit.Mr Preuse is a tall unit.Same height as Max.The 2 big fellas were taking turns kicking for goal.Most of their kicks were accurate-about 35 metres out.Max led the running around the ground - he is one fit unit!So is Joel Smith.
An intelligent player.Bring on 2019!
His father died in Tathra according to the reports.I know Tathra and the South Coast very well-go there each year from Melbourne.If Vanders moves to Sydney I can't see how that is easier to go to Tathra from Sydney to look after his father's business.Because he could fly from Melbourne to Merimbula , hire a car and drive to Tathra in an hour.
It really helps when you are not injured or sick.He has played a full season.


TBY talks to Onajite Okoloko, Managing Director & CEO of Notore Chemical Industries, on the challenges facing the fertilizing industry and how the government and private sector can work together to resolve them.
Onajite Okoloko is the Group Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of Notore Chemical Industries Plc, the only producer of Urea Fertiliser in Sub-Saharan Africa. Prior to his return to Nigeria in 1994, he worked in corporate America and has over 20 years of experience in sales, marketing, and business development. He is a member of the National Technical Working Group of the Nigeria Vision 2020 and the President's Agricultural Transformation Implementation Council, which was inaugurated in May 2012. He was appointed as an inaugural member of the Human Capital and Innovation Capacity Building Working Group of the National Competitiveness Council of Nigeria in 2014. He graduated from University of Benin, Nigeria and is also an alumnus of the Harvard Business School. In 2011, he was named the inaugural winner of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the Emerging Entrepreneur category for the West Africa region.
What are the main challenges Nigeria faces to increase the input of fertilizer?
Many farmers lack awareness and the commercial mindset to be able to connect the use of fertilizers and improved seed to the output and productivity increases. That is the big challenge that Nigeria and the bulk of sub-Saharan Africa have been facing. Best practice should be set at about 200kg per ha. Global use is somewhere between 90 and 100kg per ha. In sub-Saharan Africa we are using less than 100kg per ha, so it is incredibly small.
What policy approaches would help the government deliver more fertilizer to farmers in larger quantities?
We have used our own private sector approach to get fertilizers to the farmers. The government has tried to introduce a subsidy program. In some cases this has worked, and in some cases it has been undercut by middlemen, so the real benefits never get to the farmers. The government should create an enabling environment to allow the private sector to manage the entire distribution and sales process, develop the channels into the market, and train farmers. The biggest challenge we have in Nigeria today is broken value chains. We have the input supply system, the production, the processing, and then we have the market. The farmer today is everything. Their yields are low, but they have to figure out how to get their product to market. We are experiencing about 50% post-harvest losses in Nigeria today, even with minimal yields. The most important thing is creating an outlet for farmers when explosive yields occur, and educating about the impact of good quality input and improving yields. When this is achieved, the focus is channeling yields into the market and processing through the value chains. We see the government helping to develop some of that by giving low interest loans to attract people not just to farming itself, but also processing, and being able to divert the subsidy to the output so that when farmers have huge yields and cannot get to market, the government can guarantee the off-take of those yields and stabilize prices for the farmers. Another important factor is infrastructure. Infrastructure is key for the movement of products and fertilizers into farming areas and delivering the output back to the marketplace. For us today, it is cheaper to deliver fertilizer to Germany than to Kano in Nigeria. We really need to focus on having good roads, rail, and ports to move these products across the country. We have ports, but adequate rail and roads infrastructure is lacking.
Does your current production meet the local demands for fertilizer?
Nigeria's total fertilizer consumption today is about 1 million tons, which may require an additional 300,000 tons of phosphate and potash to be able to supply the entire 1 million tons. Having said that, the latent demand is far higher than that because if we compare Nigeria to Pakistan, for example, both countries have about the same area and population. Nigeria has about three times more arable land than Pakistan, though, so there are many more farming opportunities in Nigeria. Nigeria and Pakistan have the same kind of smallholder farming structures—farmers farming on one or two ha of land. However, Pakistan uses 10 million tons of fertilizers. This is because its average fertilizer utilization is about 100kg per ha. Nigeria is the largest importer of rice today, even though we could grow all the rice we need here.
TBY talks to Paul M. Gbededo, Managing Director of Flour Mills of Nigeria (FMN), on the steps being taken in various fields to support the government's diversification ambitions and to provide Nigeria with its food needs.
Nigeria is the world's largest importer of tomato paste. Industry efforts to increase yields have been hampered by insect infestations and policies that put domestic producers at a disadvantage.

WWWorld Click | Aftertaste
Is this really only the second installment of WWWorld Click? Yes, it's. I've recently relocated to a new… um, location. Time literally moves more slowly here; there's more time to work and more time to waste. There's also more time for browsing. Here's are some recent web developments from around the globe.
In New York, there's no better look on a guy than when he's just come from the barber. Unfortunately the crispiness goes away after a day or even a few hours. No longer! Monira Al Qadiri reports that, from where she sits in Kuwait, "Airbrush Beards Are All The Rage." Indeed; and one that leaves François Sagat's tattoo'd cranium in the dust. There's a 7aboob joke with a "blowing" innuendo there somewhere, but my cat's trying to jump out to our balcony so… one sec.
Back. Okay, what the fanfic is going on here? The Jonas Brothers sandwiching Marc Jacobs's gay porn actor boyfriend, Harry Louis? Where is The Other One? (Answer: at home dragging this photo to the secret j/o folder on his hard drive) What could these eyebros possibly have to talk about? This is a shanda for poor Marc; first openly sleeping with an uncircumcised goy and now homewrecking America's most beloved family act since the Brady Bunch. Let's just hope there's a Falcon-sponsored whirlwind global bathhouse concert tour livestreamed on Cam4 in the works.
Okay, are we done talking about post-internet, new aesthetic, death of painting, etc.? JK Keller is shutting it down with his new iPhone oil paintings. Bodacious, sebaceous. This is the very essence of DISability, an issue we hope to explore in future feature stories.
In transfiguration news, Oliver Laric brings us the story of a UK organization "His Church" convincing government officials and corporations to donate confiscated counterfeit clothing to them. They, in turn, stitch the His Church logo right over the counterfeit logo and redistribute the garments to the homeless and other people in need. Of the project, co-ordinator Richard Humphrey says, "." [sic] God moves in mysterious ways… even through Shanzhai anxiety.
And speaking of anxiety, we're all in agreement that this:
is definitely the step right before this:
right? Good, I'm glad.

Lingenfelter Cars And Coffee To Host Corvette Day On June 9
— Jun 8, 2018
Lingenfelter Performance Engineering hosts a calendar worth of cars and coffee events each year, and the season kicked off last weekend. But, tomorrow, LPE will host Corvette day at the event.
LPE encourages all Chevrolet Corvette owners to clean up their cars and show them off at the event, which takes place tomorrow June 9.
"This is the 5th year for the Cars & Coffee series," said Ken Lingenfelter, owner Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. "We think it gets better every year. The car-loving community really looks forward to the weekend meet-ups and their discussions on innovations in design and performance in the industry. They also seem to have a lot of fun with the different weekend themes."
The cars and coffee event doesn't cost a cent to attend, but LPE asks attendees to bring donations (cash or non-perishable food items) to support the Gleaners food bank.
If you can't make June 9, Lingenfelter will host a cars and coffee even—rain or shine—every Saturday through August 25. The event kicks off at 8:00 a.m.

Gjio says:
LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR CONSERVATIVES IN ONTARIO, CANADA
Hey, Sean, did you see what happened last night in Ontario, Canada? Your Canadian buddies to the north of you kicked out the left-wing Liberal government you loved so much and voted in a Pro-Trump Conservative party.
Any thoughts? You had a lot to say before…
P.S. The Liberal party lost official status as it didnt even get enough votes to qualify as a party. It is now considered an extremist party with no status. Ouch!
That's 3 times you've shown that you know frig all about the difference between a provincial election and a federal election.
"The Liberal party lost official status as it didnt even get enough votes to qualify as a party. It is now considered an extremist party with no status."
Wrong. A party that loses official party status means that questions cannot be asked from the party during question period in a provincial legislature, and funding restrictions. It means nothing of status of the party being deemed extremist or central, but shows that they haven't the required minimum number of seats. They still represent their provincial riding as elected to do so.
And before you pipe up again, I'm well over 1000 kms from the nearest part of Ontario, and therefore I'm indifferent to the provincial election results as I'm inelegable to vote there.
No offense America, but Canadian politics isn't your thing. Best stick with what you've got.
Gjio, what does your diatribe have to do with this story? Nothing. Please at least try to limit your political opinions to appropriate discussions. A reduction in arrogance would also be appreciated.

The Origins of pawnbroking can be traced back over 3,000 years to the chinese, but the industry as we know it today can be traced back to the noble Medici family who were a dominant financial power in the fifteenth century.
Pawnbrokers historically were portrayed as a last resort lender, however, this has changed over recent years and pawnbrokers are now seen as the alternative lender fitting into the mainstream of lending and filling a gap that the banks don't.
Pawnbrokers offer speed and convenience over the bank, with customers now seeing pawnbroking as a "First Choice" rather than a last resort.
Pawn-broking, Pawnshop, Pop, Hock, Pledge no matter what you call it, it's possibly the second oldest profession!! the plain simple truth is that its collateral lending.
The Pawnbroker first and foremost, lends money, this is based on collateral and this is the main way he derives income and Just like any other finance when the times come to repay the loan there is a charge or a fee involved. A Pawnbroker lends money based on a percentage of what he perceives to be the value of the item the person brings in.
Even though Pawnbroking loans are short term, there is still a small amount of legal paperwork to be completed, including reports on all the collateral received; which may be passed onto the police if requested, But pawnbroking provides a lending venue that is different from the bank, Pawnbrokers offer speed and convenience, a short term lending vehicle that the banks don't, and is available to a greater segment of the society than banks.
Let's say you have a piece of jewellery or a luxury item that you would like to use as collateral for a loan with us, you can either make an appointment to visit our offices or if its inpractical we will try and come to you. We will examine your item carefully in order to determine its value. This appraisal will give you important information about your item's characteristics and history. We will then offer you a fair cash loan.
Good Question!, "Uncle or Auntie" as they were known by, were on every street corner lending $20.00 + on small items, where you could walk in with your work boots, television set and Lawnmowers, and walk out with your $20 Bucks, and this all conducted in full view of the General Public, this type of Pawnbroker still exist, and you can still see them on the main street of nearly every town or city.
Today there is a new breed of pawnbroker, who have taken pawnbroking to a whole new level, they glady offer private & confidential services operating out of offices and will lend you anywhere from $1,000 to $500,000 on your Ferrari or Designer Handbag or Rolex.
So' who uses The Services of a Pawnbroker?
Traditionally it was low income earners you would have seen in the pawnshop, people who were on day to day casual work, those who needed quick cash to pay that unexpected utility bill until the next pay cheque came through, however since the last global financial crisis more and more people from all walks of life are turning to the services of a pawnbroker especially with the banks tightening their lending criteria and not lending short term i.e.( 1 day -3 months).
The middle and upper classes are not exempt from this with more electing to use a Pawnbrokers services, for speed and convenience, especially the small business sector who need that quick cash flow for a month or two for the Payroll or the Tax bill they haven't catered for, until that cheque arrives.
An example of this is The Business owner who recently sold the Business and had not accounted for the last GST, therefore needed $6000 for a few days until the sale went through.
This very much depends on the collateral you are using, let's say you're using a piece of Jewellery or a luxury item, the pawnbroker would offer you a percentage of what it's market value would be, so if you didn't come back to redeem it, he would be able to sell and recoup his money.
Not all costs are created equal. When you buy a piece of jewellery from a high street jeweller, or that new car from the dealer, you're paying the retail price. If you decide to sell that ring or that car today, you'll get the market value not the "replacement value." The difference is what's called "depreciation" – and it covers the mark-up the dealer has, their rent and overheads and that nice espresso they give you. The relationship between market value and the retail cost varies by item; in the case of jewellery, you can figure that anywhere from 30% to 60% of the retail price walks out the door with you.
Pawnbroker loans are for around three months in duration, but some Pawnbrokers will let you extend if needed. Either way, you can pay (redeem) it early with no penalty.
There's an old English rhyme, you may have heard it?
To "pop" is the English slang word for "pawn". Weasel is from "weasel and stoat" slang for coat. It was traditional even for the poor to own a suit, which was worn for "Sunday best".When times were hard they would pawn their suit, or coat, on Monday and claim it back before Sunday.

I Love You, Man (2009), kind of…
I consider this film a romantic comedy. While Paul Rudd's character, Peter, does get engaged to Rashida Jones' character, Zooey, that is not the main love story of this movie. The main love story is between Peter and Sydney (Jason Segel). It's a broship. A bromance. Like Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal, or Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, or Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
Perfect for the Valentine's Day season, this film is lighthearted and delivers exactly what you want it to. Paul Rudd never disappoints, and his chemistry with Jason Segel is fun to watch. Rudd plays Peter, a serial monogamist with no male friends. He focuses on one girl, gives her all his love and attention, and is not used to nurturing male friendships. But when his fiancé points this out to him and encourages him to explore friendships of his own, he goes on a journey of finding his own friends. First, he goes to his brother (Andy Samberg) for help, but that does not lead him anywhere good.
from Movieclips Classic Trailers on YouTube
Eventually, he finds Sydney (Jason Segel) and the sparks start to fly. Sydney brings out Peter's fun side and encourages him to stand up for himself at work. Sydney even punches a huge, built guy because he thinks he is defending Peter and helping him in the long run. He is truly a good friend and cares about Peter's best interest. After a few ups and downs, it's clear that Peter and Sydney's friendship is true and not just something that is surface level and going to disintegrate easily. After Sydney makes a risky business venture, their friendship is cemented forever.
Overall, this film is pretty good. It is not something extraordinary that takes the audience to a new realm or exciting perspective, but it is what I expected it to be. It is funny, goofy, and easy to watch. It's a chill night film that delivers some laughs and it looks like the cast had fun making this movie. It's a rom com with a twist. J.K. Simmons even plays Peter's dad, Nick Kroll and Nelson Franklin (Robby from New Girl) even make an appearance. It was funny to think of Paul Rudd having Andy Samberg as his brother and J.K. Simmons as his father. That would be a family to remember. Imagine the summer barbecues and the Christmas party jokes.

Ousted Catalan president Carles Puigdemont says he will stay put in Brussels as Spain's top court ordered the suspension of the Catalan parliament's independence declaration.
Sacked Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont and former members of the Government of Catalonia Joaquim Forn and Clara Ponsati attend a news conference at the Press Club Brussels Europe in Brussels, Belgium, October 31, 2017. (Reuters)
Catalonia's axed separatist leader said on Tuesday that he would stay put in Brussels after being dismissed by the Spanish government, but denied he would seek asylum to avoid possible rebellion charges.
Calling himself the "legitimate" Catalan president, Carles Puigdemont told a packed news conference he was in Brussels "for safety purposes and freedom" and to "explain the Catalan problem in the institutional heart of Europe."
"We want to denounce the politicisation of the Spanish justice system, its lack of impartiality, its pursuing of ideas not crimes, and to explain to the world the Spanish state's serious democratic deficiencies," he said.
The 54-year-old, whom Spanish prosecutors want to charge with rebellion - punishable by up to 30 years in jail - and sedition, denied, however, that he would seek legal protection from Belgium.
"I am not here in order to demand asylum," Puigdemont said. The media-savvy and floppy-haired former journalist did not detail how long he intended to stay but said that other members of his "legitimate" government would remain in Catalonia to "carry out political activity".
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said that Puigdemont - who has said he is ready to go to prison rather than give up on independence - "will be treated like any other European citizen".
The Belgian leader was at pains to stress that his government had "not undertaken any step to encourage Mr Puigdemont's arrival on Belgian soil".
Motorway to Marseille
After being axed on Friday, Puigdemont reportedly drove hundreds of kilometres (miles) from Catalonia to Marseille in southern France with several members of his dismissed cabinet and then flew to Belgium.
His departure is the latest dramatic twist in the saga over semi-autonomous Catalonia's drive for independence that has presented Spain with its biggest political crisis in decades.
With its own language and distinct culture, Catalonia, which accounts for a fifth of Spain's economy and 16 percent of its population, is deeply divided over independence.
On October 1, Catalonia held an unregulated referendum - marked by a heavy-handed operation by Spanish police - that saw a large majority in favour of seceding from Spain
Turnout was just 43 percent, however, and Spain's top court ruled the plebiscite illegal.
Puigdemont insists this gave the Catalan parliament a mandate to declare independence on Friday, a decision beamed onto big screens to cheering crowds in regional capital Barcelona.
But the reaction from Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's government was swift and emphatic.
TRT World's Jack Parrock reports from Brussels.
Invoking a never-before-used article of the constitution, Madrid dismissed Catalonia's leaders and imposed direct rule.
Previously the region had a high degree of autonomy over key sectors such as education, healthcare and the police.
On Tuesday Spain's top court ordered the suspension of the Catalan parliament's independence declaration.
Spain's Civil Guard police force meanwhile searched the headquarters of Catalonia's regional police in a probe centred on the independence referendum, a spokesman said.
Spain's Supreme Court summoned the former speaker of the Catalan parliament to charge her.
The international community including the European Union, struggling with Brexit and other challenges, has largely spurned the independence declaration and backed Rajoy.
There had been speculation that Catalan leaders and civil servants might seek to disrupt Madrid's imposition of direct rule but it passed off without major incident.
"We haven't come across a single civil servant who isn't doing his or her duty," Enric Millo, a central government representative in Catalonia, said Tuesday.
But it appears that the crisis has converted more Catalans into independence supporters.
A regional government opinion poll carried out in October showed there are more Catalans who favour independence than not.
Carried out in October, it showed 48.7 percent of respondents said they wanted a separate state against 43.6 percent who didn't. In the last such poll conducted in July, those against independence were close to 50 percent versus 41.1 percent in favour.
Still, a former Catalan minister, Santi Vila, told Catalan radio Rac1 Tuesday that Puigdemont's government had been "under the illusion" that it would be easy, and that the independence drive "could take place rapidly and without damage."
Puigdemont said in Brussels that he did not want to put Catalan civil servants in a "difficult situation" and that the independence drive should "slow down" to avoid unrest.
Rajoy has called snap elections for December 21 to replace the Catalan parliament in a drastic bid to stop the secessionist drive.
Puigdemont said on Tuesday that he accepted the "challenge" and that he would "respect" the result. He urged Madrid to do the same if separatists retain their majority.

GlobalData's latest report, Q3 2018 Global Ammonia Capacity and Capital Expenditure Outlook – Iran and India Continue to Drive Global Capacity Growth states that the global ammonia capacity is poised to see considerable growth over the next nine years, potentially increasing from 241.9 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) in 2017 to 286.4mtpa in 2026.

Antonio Todde (22 January 1889 – 3 January 2002) was an Italian supercentenarian, who was the oldest living man in the world from the death of John Painter on 1 March 2001 until his own death. He is the oldest verified Italian man ever.
Born to a poor shepherd family in the medieval center of Tiana, Todde was the third of 12 children. He had a long-lived family; his father Francesco lived to be 90 years old, and his mother Francesca became 98. His sister Maria Agostina was still alive at the age of 97 at the time of his death. She died aged 102.
He left Sardinia to fight in the World War 1, where he was injured in the shoulder by a grenade. In 1920, he married Maria Antonia, then aged 25, and they had four daughters and a son. She died in 1990, aged 95. He died on 3 January 2002 as the oldest living man in the world.


When it comes to forecasting what an online casino under The Meadows name in Pennsylvania, there are too many moving parts to say things with much certainty. First of all, Pinnacle Entertainment, the owners of The Meadows Casino, is in the process of being acquired by Hollywood Casino owner and operator Penn National. As such, the casino is in a holding pattern until the deal is totally finished.
Once Penn National takes control of The Meadows, it is safe to presume both Hollywood Casino and The Meadows will utilize similar, if not the same, game plans when it comes to online casino and online poker sites.
The question is what exactly that path will be. As of now, neither Penn nor Pinnacle has any existing online casino software partnerships. There used to be rumblings Penn would develop in-house, like Rush Street Interactive for Rush Street Gaming.
However, Online Poker Report says rumors suggest Penn will team up with NYX/Scientific Games. If so, they will be in great shape gearing up for launch in Pennsylvania. The NYX/Scientific Games platform is what New Jersey online casino juggernaut Golden Nugget runs on. Additionally, the group powers Caesars Casino in New Jersey.
Should the partnership with NYX come to fruition, Golden Nugget's platform might be the best indication of what a Meadows-branded online casino might look like. Granted, Golden Nugget has ancillary deals with game providers, so the game selection will be different. Nonetheless, NYX still provides roughly one-fourth of the gaming titles in addition to the platform itself.
One of the reasons Golden Nugget is the market leader in the New Jersey online casino market is its massive catalog of games. All of the titles are accessible on a browser-based client. In other words, rather than download actual software that you open on your computer, Golden Nugget customers can log in to their account from any computer or tablet within the state of New Jersey and be online playing in a matter of a minute or two.
If you are going to be on the go, Golden Nugget also offers one of the premier mobile casino apps in the state. It features 200 of the sites 400 titles, giving mobile players a robust set of options.
Pennsylvania is cleared for mobile gaming as well. As such, an iOS and Google Play app of The Meadows that is comparable to the browser would be a major selling point, as other platforms offer much weaker mobile options.
Like in the Garden State, players in Pennsylvania do have certain requirements they must meet in order to play. As mentioned, the site will use geolocation technology whenever you log in to ensure you are within state lines. Additionally, when signing up for an account, players will need to verify they are at least 21 years old. There will also need to be opt-out technology to help problem gamblers self-exclude.
Finally, these online casinos will all need geolocation technology to ensure real-money play is only taking place within Pennsylvania state linea.
Both Golden Nugget and Caesars offer a wide range of Blackjack varieties to choose from, which is a good indication that NYX is accountable for a chunk of the titles in both libraries.
It is possible Pennsylvania might utilize different regulations that limit the Blackjack gaming options on sites like The Meadows though. The table game payouts are notoriously more stringent than other land-based casino regulations. With that in mind, some of the looser versions of Blackjack might not be options for Pennsylvania online casino players.
Golden Nugget's pride and joy is its massive online slot library. However, do not expect The Meadows to go crazy licensing the same number of slot titles. While a good catalog can help The Meadows differentiate from competitors, the revenue model makes slots less profitable for PA online casinos than NJ online casinos.
There is a 54 percent tax rate on online slots in Pennsylvania, while table games are much lower. As such, online casinos might focus energy on table game offerings, rather than a robust slot catalog.
When it comes to rewards options, things are about as up in the air as online software partners. Presumably, Pinnacle's existing rewards program will convert over to Penn National's nationwide Marquee Rewards system.
The common practice is to sync up these land-based rewards systems with online play. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that players on The Meadows will be able to rack up Marquee Rewards points. These points have tremendous value outside of Pennsylvania, as there are over 40 Penn National properties using the system. Players can earn rewards in Pennsylvania, then cash in on those rewards at a casino in Las Vegas.
Players should be able to withdraw from The Meadows online casino the same way they make deposits. Typically some online casinos require players to withdraw using the same methods they used to deposit.

Health-centered hotel brand eyes Blake Street site
Burl Rolett October 3, 2016 0
The project would take the place of a 12,500-square-foot parking lot at 2250 Blake St., which is listed for $3.48 million. (Burl Rolett)
An international hotel giant is betting that not every traveler is looking to indulge while out of town.
InterContinental Hotels Group is eyeing a parking lot at Park Avenue West and Blake Street for a new Even Hotel, according to plans submitted to Denver's Landmark Preservation Commission.
It's a new-to-Colorado brand with amenities like group fitness classes, in-room workout materials and healthy food options catering to travelers that want to stay on the wagon while they're on the road.
In an email, IHG spokeswoman Ada Hatzios said the hotel giant is working with developers on the Blake Street project, but declined any further comment on that particular development before finalizing an agreement.
"We always look for the right market for the right brand at the right time," Hatzios said in an email. "Denver, with a reputation as a community focused on an active, outdoor lifestyle, would be a great home for a new Even Hotels property."
Plans submitted to the Landmark Preservation Commission show about 150 guest rooms on eight stories with a restaurant, bar and market on the ground floor. Davis Partnership is the architect listed on the drawings submitted to the commission.
The project would take the place of a 12,500-square-foot parking lot at 2250 Blake St. That site is currently listed for sale for $3.48 million, according to a recently updated Loopnet advertisement.
Listing broker Tom Monks of Equity Commercial Real Estate confirmed the property is under contract to sell when reached by phone, but declined to comment further on the deal.
Right now there are four Even Hotels open in the United States. They're all on the East Coast – one in Connecticut, another in Maryland, and two in New York City. IHG will open another Even Hotel in Omaha, as well as a third in New York City, later this year.
Denver's proposed Even Hotel will go in front of the Landmark Preservation Commission for a design detail review on Oct. 4. Landmark Preservation approved the development's mass and scale at a meeting in August.

Watch a Crowd Sing John Lennon's 'Imagine' as Millions Rally for Unity in Paris
Video 4 PM 01.12.2015
Millions took to the streets in Paris Sunday in a march for unity, believed to be the single largest demonstration in France's history, after the terrorist attack on satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and subsequent hostage situation that left 17 dead and a country in mourning.
Though there were countless images both joyful and sad from the rally, one indelible clip uploaded to YouTube this morning shows a portion of the crowd singing along to John Lennon's seminal anti-violence anthem "Imagine" as the song is played out an apartment window.
Much could be written on thie subject, but we'll let Lennon's words speak for themselves.
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do

Art of Fish Rubbing Lands in Costa Rica
Dave Sherwood February 16, 2007 February 16, 2007
Like any good artist, Mya DeRyan likes to get up close and personal with her subjects and understand what makes them tick, their inner beauty, long before the ink ever hits the canvas.
The difference between DeRyan, and, say, Picasso, is that DeRyan, a recent transplant to Costa Rica from the Canadian province of British Columbia, prefers to catch her subjects on hook and line, or at least buy them at the local pescadería, or fish market.
"Some women say, 'Ooh, look at the diamonds.' I say, 'Ooh, look at the fish,'" she said.
DeRyan's art, which she calls "fish rubbing," or gyotaku, as it is known in Japan, originated in the 1700s as a form of preserving bragging rights after a fisherman landed a trophy catch. The rubbings are made by first preparing the fish – laying it out, splaying the fins – then dousing its length and width with ink.
After that, DeRyan presses mulberry paper, a silk sheet, or almost any other medium to the inked body of the fish, creating an impression that is uncannily realistic, portraying every single scale, fin and contour of the fish.
"It offers people an opportunity to appreciate the magnificence of fish – underwater creatures we rarely get to experience in such detail," she said.
The art is easier to appreciate than to practice, said DeRyan, who points out the difficulties of transferring a once-living fish to paper. "You're taking a three-dimensional object with curves and trying to make it work in two dimensions," she said.
And "dousing" isn't quite the right word, either, she added, explaining that just the right amount of ink must be applied to the fish to ensure a perfect impression.
Too much, she said, and the fine features she prides herself on are lost in smudge. Too little, and details are lost to blank spots.
"It takes patience, practice and a love of fish," she said.
A lifelong lover of fish, DeRyan is an artist, a fisherwoman and a mother who, after a series of life-changing events back home, decided to drop everything and come to Costa Rica.
"I read somewhere it was the second most popular sportfishing destination in the world. That sounded perfect," she said.
She learned fish rubbing back at home, in her native Canada, beginning with freshwater fish such as cutthroat and rainbow trout.
She met a fishing guide, started an art gallery, and soon her artwork developed into a passion.
When she got off the plane in San José, she came with a half-dozen bags, nearly overflowing with ink, paper and other tools of the trade, she spoke little Spanish, had no idea where to go and nearly got robbed.
She wound up in the southern Caribbean beach town of Puerto Viejo, where, in a broken-English conversation with local fishermen, she first heard about the OsaPeninsula, on the other side of the country on the southern Pacific coast.
"The fishermen I met on the Caribbean told me I had to go to the Osa," she said.
Not 15 minutes after her arrival in Golfito, on the OsaPeninsula's Golfo Dulce, she was standing on the docks at Samoa del Sur lodge with her first subject, a six-foot marlin, fresh from the azure Pacific.
"I knew I'd come to the right place," she said.
According to Claude Galvez, who helped set DeRyan up with a place to stay and her first "impromptu" studio at Samoa del Sur, fishermen can't get enough of her work.
"It's so unique; it's really a thing of beauty," said Galvez, who now has one print of every fish DeRyan has inked since arriving in Costa Rica.
A New Form of Art
On a recent trip from the wilds of the Osa to San José to secure new supplies, DeRyan stopped by the office of The Tico Times to show off her work, most of it rolled up securely in a tube that looked suspiciously like a fishing rod holder.
As she unscrewed the tube, a stench wafted over The Tico Times' parking area – a blend of fresh fish on the dock and dank, salty air, trapped in transit after the long journey from Golfito.
She unraveled the nearly six-foot-long sheet she had wrapped inside, and the beautiful impression of a blue marlin emerged, its grandeur captured in two dimensions and beautiful, vivid color, as though the fish were still alive at sea.
"If I had a crown jewel, this would be it," she said, beaming with pride.
Though original gyotaku were simple black-and-white impressions, DeRyan uses paint, pastels and a variety of other media blended together to achieve an almost surreally realistic effect with her rubbings.
DeRyan's work sells for between $100 for a print of a smaller fish, such as a palm-sized trout, and as much as $1,000 for larger fish, such as the marlin.
Her other examples – a corvina, dorado, jack crevalle, skipjack tuna, parrotfish, and flounder – were all Golfo Dulce fish she was given, or caught herself.
DeRyan said she hopes to teach others the art, which she feels translates seamlessly to Costa Rican culture.
"The people are so tied to the sea, and fish," she said. "It feels like a good match." In the meantime, she continues to solicit fish from fishermen who visit the country on vacation, catch a trophy and then turn to her to make the memory permanent.
"It's wife-approved trophy art," she said. While times have changed since 1700, when gyotaku first emerged as a folk art, fishermen have not, DeRyan said.
"They love to show off their catches," she said, adding that she hopes her art will allow them to keep at it – at least, to a point.
"A fisherman may exaggerate, but a fish rubbing never does," she said with a smile.

Q: Why is dd using direct slower writing to disk than to a file I am trying to compare aggregate write rates when writing to a file in a GPFS file system, as compared to writing directly to a disk on a system with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago). For my application I need to measure the raw rate, i.e. without taking advantage of cache. I do not understand the impact of the direct option used with dd to bypass cache. When writing directly to a block device, I get a drastically lower rate when I use oflag=direct, as compared with writing to a file in the GPFS file system. Why does this happen?
To measure aggregate rates I create p processes running dd that writes concurrently to the block device or file. I then sum the p rates obtained to get the aggregate write rate.
    #!/bin/bash
    directdiskrate=~/scratch/rate5
    syncdiskrate=~/scratch/rate4
    filerate=~/scratch/rate3
    numruns=1
    numthreads=30

    #to disk use both conv=fsync and oflag=direct
    writetodiskdirect="dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdac bs=256k count=4096 conv=fsync oflag=direct iflag=fullblock"
    for p in $(seq $numthreads)
    do
             #parses output of dd, rate is on last line, each field separated by ,s
            $writetodiskdirect 2>&1|tail -n 1|awk 'BEGIN { FS = "," } ; { print $3 }'|sed -e 's/MB\/s//g'>>$directdiskrate&
    done
    wait

    #to disk use only conv=fsync option
    writetodisksync="dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdac bs=256k count=4096 conv=fsync iflag=fullblock"
    for p in $(seq $numthreads)
    do
       #parses output of dd, rate is on last line, each field separated by ,s
       $writetodisksync 2>&1|tail -n 1|awk 'BEGIN { FS = "," } ; { print $3 }'|sed -e 's/MB\/s//g'>>$syncdiskrate&
    done
    wait

    #to file use both conv=fsync and oflag=direct
    for p in $(seq $numthreads)
    do
        writetofile="dd if=/dev/zero of=/gpfs1/fileset6/file$p bs=256k count=4096 conv=fsync oflag=direct"
        #parses output of dd, rate is on last line, each field separated by ,s
        $writetofile 2>&1|tail -n 1|awk 'BEGIN { FS = "," } ; { print $3 }'|sed -e 's/MB\/s//g'>>$filerate&
    done
    wait

Results: The write rate of each of 30 processes is as follows:

*

*Writing to disk using conv=fsync option, each process gets a write rate of ~180MB/s

*Writing to disk using both conv=fsync and oflag=direct, each process gets a write rate of ~9MB/s

*Writing to a file in GPFS file system, using both conv=fsync and oflag=direct, gets a write rate of ~80MB/s

A: This difference undoubtedly comes down to one thing: caching.
It will be really difficult to pin down where, especially from userland, but all Linux kernels buffer (cache) filesystem writes, unless you perform the tricks to get synchronous writes. That is, the kernel will save the data dd sends to a file somewhere in kernel memory. The kernel probably uses file system code to do this. Some time in the future, the kernel will schedule a disk block to go out to the disk. That will happen "asynchronously", sometime after the kernel tells dd that the write finished.
The reason for this is that moving bytes over a bus and into a disk drive, and then on to the disk platters is much slower than even copying from user to kernel memory. Ordinarily, programs don't care too much that the data they just "wrote" won't make it to the disk for a while. Hardware reliability is high enough that the data makes it to platter almost always.
That's the simple answer, but once you've got reads/writes/deletes all buffered up in the kernel, the file system code can take advantage of short file lifetimes by never writing out the data of files that get deleted before they make it to disk. The file system code can group writes to take advantage of disk blocks larger than a group of writes and consolidate them into one write. There's tons of optimizations that can be done in most file systems.

A: Disk cacheing of copy programs make it quicker then using dd I would assume.
If this is the only disk intensive app running, wait for the program to exit and then run:
$ sync; sync

This will flush the cache immediately. If it takes a while to return to the prompt you know it was hitting the cache.
I do this before pulling my usb drives and often takes quite a long time from copy finish to cache hitting the disk.

A: The answer to this may be complicated. O_DIRECT is more of a hint than an order and filesystems are allowed to ignore it on Linux and just use the buffer cache. According to "Considerations for the use of direct I/O (O_DIRECT) for GPFS applications" GPFS can fall back to buffered operation (followed by an O_SYNC) when things aren't perfect. The following may apply in the questioner's scenario:

The write causes the file to increase in size.

We can't tell if the dd was extending the file(s). If it was then I/O was going through the buffer cache in the filesystem case and NOT in the direct to the block device case.

Shane shares his experience with NUCCA Chiropractic and Dr. Harrison. His son, Lukas, was suffering from very frequent ear infections which resulted in a sickness and time away from school and friends.
Children can benefit from having a properly balanced body.
Children can be adjusted using the NUCCA procedure right from birth. Often children do not need the full NUCCA assessment as their many simple reflexes that can be checked, allowing for a modified exam. Due to the tendency for a child's misalignment to have been present for a relatively short period of time the misalignment is typically less complex.
Children also generally respond more quickly to adjustments and usually require fewer adjustments to attain spinal stability.
After a really difficult birth, I had Dr. Harrison check Nathaniel for an Atlas misalignment. He was only 6 hours old! He fell asleep right after the adjustment and his color started improving almost immediately. He has responded so well under NUCCA care that I continue to have him checked monthly."
Childhood is a special time of life in countless ways, including the fact that so much critical growth and development occurs during these years. But just as adults can encounter musculoskeletal challenges to their health and function, so too can children experience imbalances and misalignment issues that have to be corrected so that they can thrive. Here at The Balanced Atlas in San Francisco, CA, we provide your child with safe, gentle upper cervical chiropractic adjustments that can greatly enhance their nerve function and physical processes.
You might assume that the human body is in its best working condition at birth, with musculoskeletal issues only accumulating later in life. But, in fact, even the delivery process can create imbalances in joint position, and some babies need chiropractic adjustment from birth. (Our San Francisco chiropractor has adjusted infants only a few hours old!) Babies are prone to additional issues as they begin to explore their world, trip, fall, and bump into things. It's critical that any alignment errors resulting from these everyday jolts are corrected as early as possible because a spinal misalignment can affect nerve function, which in turn affects normal growth and development. It can also have an effect on your child's balance and coordination.
School-age children experience even more challenges to their musculoskeletal health. Playground antics, school sports, and heavy backpack usage can all wreak havoc on a growing body, resulting in a variety of aches, pains, and neurological problems. Chiropractic treatments and guidance may be necessary during these years to help kids pursue their daily activities safely.
Bring your child to our NUCCA chiropractor for the high-quality chiropractic care he or she needs. Our emphasis on upper cervical chiropractic adjustment allows us to make very small, subtle adjustments near the top of the spinal column. This technique allows for a uniquely safe and gentle experience while also providing profound health benefits. By correcting alignment and nerve function in this area, we can help your child's many physical processes operate as efficiently as possible.
This form of chiropractic care can help prevent many ailments commonly associated with early childhood, from ear infections to sleep problems. Ongoing spinal screenings during the school years also help us uncover alignment problems and disorders, such as scoliosis, which may require early treatment.
Are you ready to give your child the healthiest life possible? Call The Balanced Atlas at (415) 242-1472 today to schedule a pediatric appointment with our San Francisco, CA, chiropractor!


Computer-aided design is the application of computer technology to create designs that are used in different disciplines and industries. CAD can be used to design numerous products, with a high degree of accuracy in measurements plus adequate documentation of the process.
CAD has developed to be among the best computer design method, facilitating a broad array of processes that can be used in manufacturing through the easy transfer of comprehensive diagrams to a designing and manufacturing system.
It has facilitated production of 2-D and 3-D diagrams that one can rotate at any angle in order to view details of the diagram from different perspectives.
The complete design with its renderings can be printed using specialized printers or plotters.
Production of 2D/3D detailed designs of the physical parts of a product being manufactured.
Preparation of reports and designs on environmental impact that can be used to produce an interior and exterior rendering to view how they look after constructing a new structure.
As any other technology solution, CAD is undergoing through an accelerated pace of changes to adapt to this ever-changing digital technology world.
Many enterprises around the world are releasing cutting edge solutions which can offer new and wonderful functionalities. Most of these solutions are collaborative and cloud-based.
This means that the traditional CAD solutions providers such as Autodesk will face cutting edge competition from upstart technical firms which are significant contributors of the new design trends.
Mobility and mobile access have emerged as top two most vital of the aspects that any organization or person is looking for in any technology. Mobile access to CAD will be among the top trends in years to come.
From various surveys, 30% of CAD software developers currently are exploring on some means to make customers access their software on mobile platform. This percentage is expected to increase by a good margin every year.
Mobile access enables people to use tools and other relevant apps and data anywhere, anytime. This means increase in productivity and this explains why tech experts around the world are exploring innovative ways in which CAD can be accessible on mobile.
IoT stands for Internet of Things. This refers to a network of devices which are connected and capable of interaction with, and collection of data from their surroundings. The connected objects can interact and send signals to each other.
These devices can either be cars, parts of an office, home or factory. IoT is one of the latest trends in information technology, and has caught the attention of many people.
Cisco estimates that over 50 billion devices will be online and part of an IoT network worldwide by 2020. This will obviously change how we work as well as how we accomplish our daily tasks in a very dramatic way.
Although most people will be affected by this change, engineers are likely to be affected the most. Imagine all manufacturing plants, facilities and factories coming online, there will be massively new standards of efficiency introduced.
CAD will evolve as the most preferred method of designing newer machines that will be interactive and capable of delivering incredible performance.
In the coming years, CAD and the cloud are expected to grow together. CAD designing in the cloud is among the latest trends in CAD, and it will change how we access and use tools .
Rapid development in cloud computing is becoming a great way for businesses to access needed information, or make it available to people on the go. The cloud today is allowing designers to store their design work on cloud platforms, enabling them to access it anywhere.
Cloud computing will offer so many benefits to CAD designers including mobility, large storage capacity, ease of software update and significant reduction of costs.
In conclusion, there are many more trends in CAD but most will be influenced by the accelerated pace of technology changes that we are witnessing in the modern world as well as new upcoming enterprises and players in this industry. Please share your views on this topic in the comment section.
