Proof! is a combination of desktop, mobile, and web app for Proof of Service notifications and Inventory Tracking.
A bar code tag is secured on equipment inventory and technician vehicles. By scanning the bar code (via smart phone, iPhone, tablet, or iPad), you can track job sites, current driver locations, service completion, and inventory movements.
Proof! can be used as a stand-alone product; therefore, there is no need to change your existing software; and since your technicians already have smart phones, there are no special bar code readers to buy. Proof! and bar code tags are the only additional expenses.
THERE ARE FIVE COMPONENTS TO PROOF!
Set up information related to customers, job sites, contact info, email addresses, text and voice numbers, warehouse and inventory information, technicians, supervisors, vehicles, and mobile devices.
A technician scans units as they are delivered, picked up, and serviced, or to notify of reasons service could not be performed.
Data is sent to email and text manager automatically, and then to the customers and job contacts, as necessary, according to customer preferences.
Map view of all inventory locations.
Determine who the customer is, who and what truck is the closest to it, etc., and make prompt and appropriate changes/decisions.
Service and delivery history of inventory usage throughout its life.
Email/Text manager - To automatically send customers their Proof!
It senses any new scans that come from the Technician and Supervisor apps and automatically sends emails and texts to either the customer contact, the job site contact, or both.
When a technican is scanning out in the field, he/she can assign the type of message to be sent, such as Delivery, Pickup, Service, Not Serviced, etc. The types of messages are customizeable, as is the wording.
The customer (or job supervisors) can log in, view and print their own history...Their own Proof!
When the supervisor logs in, he/she only sees the jobs he/she is associated with.
When the customer logs in, they choose which job they would like to view, and then view the complete history for that job.
Bar code tags are not included with the software, but may be purchased separately.
Bar code tags must be rigid, durable, compatible to your work environment, and resistant to chemicals, abrasion, solvents, extreme temperatures (both hot and cold), UV, and outdoor exposure. We recommend metal bar code tags of at least .020" thickness that comply with these requirements. In addition, there are various bar "code" types. Type 39 is what works best with Summit Proof!
If you are interested in purchasing bar code tags, please contact us. We can often combine orders for volume discount pricing.

I have 5 IP Office 500 servers in 5 different locations. We are using digital and analog phones on each of these servers. They all use VOIP through our internet provider. I need step by step set up info to use the VPN built into the servers so we can transfer calls to and from each off these locations.
We use VPNs to connection our IP500v2 but we use our routers to make the VPN connection that everything trot's across - the reason being that I found the AVAYA stuff a bit prone to dropping established VPNS created between themselves (Well I said prone, they did it all the time) - We found it easier to use stuff that was actually made for running VPNS to give us a more secure and robust connection.
It also allowed the SCN to run quite happily over the links and for central control over the units.
Thanks for the insight. We are currently running over VPN through our routers as well. Works just fine but since I need to add two more locations and the IP Office has VPN support I thought it might be an easier way to go. I has to be reliable though. The routers are different at the two new location than the original three as well adding another twist I was hoping to avoid.
I know I didn't say so but I have more than basic knowledge of the VPN and the SCN. We have our SIP licenses in order and all of the extensions are numbered to account for all the phones at all of the locations. I've been planning on this for about two years. We have had VPNs set up for two years between three locations but since I need to add two more and VPN support is built into the IP Office I thought using those might be a better option. I've been through the Google Search maze and actually found some helpful manuals but I am hoping for some step by step instructions from someone that may have already done this.
No experience but I've heard that VPN on the IP Office has limitations so you should use your router for this.
You can actually run just SIP trunks between IPOs but the functionality is quite limited so for serious use you are best getting the voice networking licence to give you SCN.
You may already know that for SCN to work all IPOs have to be no more than 1 major release different.


Well, we had a cornucopia of festivals last weekend, with the Twin Cities Jazz Festival presenting hundreds of artists from the area and beyond. The Saturday evening show of The Bad Plus with Joshua Redman attracted such a large crowd that vendors ran out of beer. By all accounts, the Deep Blues Festival and Honky Tonk Festival were also successful. Given that, and the 4th, it seems natural that there's a slowdown in the presentation of music this week. It's as if we've had a big meal, and now just have a truffle or two for dessert. Enjoy the 4th, and enjoy your dessert.

Orchestra Poly-Ritmo @ Cedar Cultural Center, Minneapolis, 7:30 ($35) The late Peter Nelson, leader of Shangoya, would often declare, "You don't need special steps to dance to this music." That holds especially true for the music of this 10-piece, horn driven band from the tiny West African nation of Benin. Percolating Afrobeat, Latin, and Voodoo rhythms will have even the most staid Minnesotan moving their hips, if not other body parts. Here's a sample of their music.

A Q&A with Dr. Brian Erling, CEO & President of Renown Health
On behalf of Renown's more than 7,000 employees, we are thrilled to introduce our healthcare system's next CEO and President, Brian Erling, MD, MBA. Dr. Erling joins Renown after working for more than 20 years in Colorado, most recently as the CEO and President of Penrose-St. Francis Health System in Colorado Springs for Centura Health. "I am so excited to join Renown Health at this important time. Healthcare and our economy are amid a major transformation, and Renown Health is very well positioned for the future," Dr. Erling said. "Our ongoing success will hinge on our ability to establish positive and productive relationships, maintain high-quality patient clinical outcomes and experiences, reduce healthcare costs, encourage innovation and improve access and affordability for patients and members." Q: Let's start at the beginning. When did your interest in healthcare first begin? A: Believe it or not, I started my healthcare career during high school in Minnesota when I worked as a nursing assistant. I then worked as a monitor tech while pursuing my undergraduate degree in biology from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Q: Where did you go to medical school, and what was your first job after training? A: After graduating from The John Hopkins University School of Medicine and spending three years at the University of Virginia for my residency, I spent more than a decade in the emergency department at a level 1 trauma center. Q: Does your experience as a physician impact your approach to healthcare leadership? A: Yes, absolutely. I have worked my fair share of nights, weekends and holidays, and I know the sacrifices healthcare workers – and their families – make to care for our communities. I will never take it for granted. I also understand how complex healthcare organizations are, and I have experienced these complexities from both the clinical and non-clinical sides. I have provided clinical leadership for a large, regional health system and understand that quality, safety and innovation come from the people doing the work, not from a corporate office. But you also need strong managers and leaders to facilitate and prioritize the work while providing support and coaching. Q: What is the key to a successful healthcare system? A: Teamwork. In fact, being part of a high-performing, mission-driven team is my number one motivation. It's what gets me up in the morning and why I work in healthcare. I view our greatest resource to be our people, meaning Renown's more than 7,000 employees. Modern technologies – such as fancy robots and imaging equipment – are essential and pretty cool, but they are not why our patients choose us. They come for trusted care in their hometown. Q: Renown Health is going through a lot of exciting changes right now. What is one thing that excites you about joining this healthcare system in a rapidly expanding area of the country? A: I am very excited about the new partnership with Renown and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine. While still in its infancy, it provides the platform for us to be the center for training, research and tertiary care for the region and beyond. Q: What is something you have learned from working with CEOs at other healthcare systems? A: Healthcare leaders often have a short half-life, but that is not me. I believe it is difficult to create and move an organization toward a unified vision when your leader changes every few years. As my track record will support, this is not my style. I have been in Colorado for over twenty years and now look forward to making Reno and Renown my home for years to come. Q: As you know, Hometown Health is Renown's health insurance arm. How does equitable access to insurance fit into a person's and a community's overall well-being? A: Most health systems would love to have their own health plan. The reality is that you cannot meaningfully improve the health of the population without managing value and risk. We are fortunate to have Hometown Health as part of Renown Health, and in our community, and I am excited to work with Bethany and the team to fulfill the mission of the organization. Q: What does working at a not-for-profit healthcare system mean to you? How does it differ from the for-profit sector? A: I have worked in for-profit and not-for-profit healthcare. Renown is unique as the only not-for-profit health system in the market. What that means is that we invest every penny earned back into caring for our community. We don't send money to shareholders in California or Pennsylvania, we invest it right here in Nevada. Not only is a not-for-profit healthcare organization where I want to work for, but it is where my family and I want to go for care. Q: What do you like to do for fun? A: I love spending time with my wife and three adult children. I met my wife, Jessica, while attending medical school in Baltimore. She was working as a nurse in the surgical ICU, and I was smitten. I offered to help her with a 3 a.m. bed linen change and bath for our trauma patient, and the rest was history. I also love exploring the outdoors, especially snowboarding!

Why I Give: Rebecca's Story
Giving back to the community is important to Rebecca Dickson. For over 35 years, she's been unwavering in her support of Renown Health and Reno's non-profit community. Hearing that she's made a difference in someone's life feels good. But for Rebecca, the greater reward is something more personal. "Giving back is a way of life," Rebecca said, "that's what you do." Inspired by her parents, the act of generosity was instilled in her from a young age. Growing up, Rebecca remembers her mother's thoughtful generosity with others. It was her mother, Fianna Dickson Combs, who inspired and helped plan Fianna's Healing Garden in the heart of the Renown Regional Medical Center campus. The garden is Fianna's legacy and gift to those in need of comforting, healing and quiet contemplation. Walking through the garden, Rebecca points out the fountain. She talks about choosing it for its calming sound. Birds chirp on the trees overhead. The space is beautiful; it's tranquil and comforting. Fianna's Healing Garden was completed in 2009. In 2020, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the garden, Rebecca and her uncle, Harvey Fennell, led an expansion project to grow the space. Inside the garden, there are pathways, benches, sculptures, fountains and over 2,000 plants and trees. Roses are life "The rose garden is special," said Rebecca. It was carefully curated in honor of Fianna and her sisters to create a peaceful space for reflection. There are 21 roses of differing sizes and colors. "The roses should be experiential. The fragrance, the colors; they are life with good days and bad. Fianna was a master gardener and felt that gardens tend to the mind, body and soul," says Rebecca. Honoring Fianna's Legacy Throughout the hottest days of summer, Rebecca and her partner, David Geddes, visit the garden. They maintain the roses, removing damaged branches and pruning them. "It's not work," says Rebecca, "it's a joyful opportunity that makes us feel good." Being in the garden reminds Rebecca of her mother and the need for healing gardens in healthcare. When her mother was in the hospital, her doctor encouraged her to get outside and into nature. At the time, Renown didn't have an outdoor garden space. From then on, it was Fianna's mission to create a healing garden for patients, caregivers and visitors. Nature reduces stress and anxiety. It also provides comfort and distraction. Healing gardens offer spiritual and healing benefits, and they've been proven to improve health outcomes. Before Fianna passed, her plans for at healing garden at Renown were already underway. Making an Impact Rebecca is a lifelong philanthropist. She serves on countless boards, volunteering her time to give back to the community. She currently sits on Renown Health Foundation's Board. Through her volunteer work, Rebecca not only gets to experience the joy of helping others first-hand, but she also gets an inside view of how non-profits operate and what they need most. That information helps her decide how to direct her support in the most impactful way. Rebecca receives cards and phone calls thanking her for Fianna's Healing Garden and the comfort it provides. But Rebecca insists that she's not to thank. Rebecca remembers every person who has supported the garden. Fianna's Healing Garden is donor-funded, and would not be possible without the support of the community, her uncle, Harvey Fennell, Fianna's closest friends, Renown physicians and employees, Renown Health Foundation and countless community foundations and local donors. She says, "The garden is a collaborative project. It takes a village to build and maintain, but it's worth it!" From all of us at Renown, thank you, Rebecca, for your inspiration and dedication to Renown! Fianna's Healing Garden is located at Renown Regional Medical Center and is open for all to experience the healing power of nature. Click here to take a virtual tour of the garden. Renown Health Foundation's Why I Give series recognizes donors, volunteers, corporations, foundations and others who provide philanthropic support to Renown. We are fortunate to have generous donors whose funding helps support and expand our efforts to meet the growing needs of the communities we serve. To learn more about how you can support Renown, please email foundation@renown.org or call 775-982-5545.

Renown & The National Guard: How These Employees Serve with Maximum Impact
Jason Farnsworth, Evan Fox and Jennifer Jenni are three of Renown's more than 500 employees who currently serve, or who have served, in our miliary. Their deep-rooted passion for helping our community extends to the Nevada National Guard (NANG), an organization that shares many values with Renown. We sat down with Jason, Evan and Jenni to ask their perspective on what propels them to serve people in our home state and learn more about how Renown's partnership with the Nevada National Guard has supported their personal and professional growth. Meet Jason Farnsworth, the Face Behind Renown's Partnership with the National Guard Jason Farnsworth is the Director of Respiratory Care Services at Renown and the Chief Master Sergeant, Medical Superintendent of the Nevada National Guard. He has been with the Guard and Renown for 23 years. Jason joined the Guard over 20 years ago to help pay for his college education. After using up his paid vacation time from Renown for Guard events like deployments or training in his initial years as a Guard member, Jason approached Renown senior leadership with the idea of paid military leave. "In full support of employees who choose to serve, Renown stepped up to give a resounding, 'yes,' as they have time and time again for our military community," Jason said. From that day forward, policies were implemented at Renown to further support individuals who serve our country with paid military leave. As a result, Jason submitted an Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Secretary of Defense Freedom Award nomination and Renown Health won the highest-level department of defense employer recognition in the nation. Since then, Jason has received four associate degrees, one bachelor's degree and a master's degree with the government's support and has been promoted several times to his current roles at Renown and the Guard. "As I progressed at Renown, I was able to progress in the National Guard. They've complimented one another on leadership skills and clinical competencies." How Evan Fox Finds Synergy in His Roles at Renown and the National Guard After five years as a cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) nurse at Renown Regional Medical Center and two years as a First Lieutenant Critical Care Nurse in the Guard, Evan Fox has implemented care plans for many community members and put his expertise to good use. The countless trauma hours he has completed at Renown have directly translated to the field as a Guard member. He states that "his roles are synergistic, and his innumerable hours of critical care are worth their weight in gold because of the transferability between the two positions." Evan's Roles Provide Service to Our Community, and Beyond Evan feels passionately that his experience with the Guard is unique because you live in the area that you serve, whereas with other military branches you are often stationed elsewhere. Recently, he's cared for many people involved in firefighting missions in our surrounding areas. As a member of the medical group of the Nevada National Guard, Evan is prepared to provide critical care at any given moment in the event of deployment due to a natural or man-made disaster. He can provide critical care in our region and across the nation. How Jennifer's Leadership Journey Continues to Grow Jennifer Jenni is the nurse manager of the cardiac ICU and intermediate care unit at Renown Regional Medical Center. She has been with Renown for 13 years and initially started at Renown South Meadows Medical Center in the general surgical unit. She felt compelled to take advantage of Renown's development programs as she worked her way up to supervisor and now as a manager. She is also a registered nurse and captain in the Nevada National Guard as well as a member of an enhanced resource force team, equipped to provide aid anywhere in the nation in the event of a disaster. With Jennifer, People Always Come First Her dedication to serving people has always been a part of who she is, even before she became a leader. From an early age, Jennifer felt strongly that she wanted to be involved in the military in some way stating that "the Guard is very much a service to the people, whether it's our community or nationwide." While her clinical leadership qualities and skills have translated well to her role as a captain, holding two leadership titles is no easy feat – especially when it comes to the continued training her roles require. However, because of the support Renown provides its military community, Jennifer was able to confidently attend officer training in Alabama last year. Jennifer was fully supported by her Renown team when she was away and took advantage of her paid military leave benefit. More Than Just a Partnership, but a Family Jason, Evan and Jennifer are among the many employees who choose to serve both here at Renown and in the Guard. You might see National Guard members who are also Renown employees in areas like the cardiac ICU, trauma ICU, emergency department or medics who work on hospital floors. "Not only is my family out at the National Guard, but they are also here at Renown. It's amazing to see how many people spend their lives giving back," Jason said.

Departamento destacado: Emergencias
The emergency department is a central part of Renown Health's hospitals. Serving patients in need of emergent attention, this team has an incredible level of dedication to not only tending to emergencies big and small, but also saving lives 24 hours a day and seven days a week. This critical work happens daily at Renown Regional, Renown South Meadows and Renown Children's Hospital. Patients in Renown's emergency rooms (ER) are in the best hands, and it is all thanks to the devoted, hard-working teams who run the show. Saving Lives Around the Clock As the only Level 2 trauma center between Sacramento and Salt Lake City, taking care of a constant stream of patients in the Renown Regional, Renown South Meadows and Renown Children's ERs come naturally for these teams. Whether it be 3 a.m. or the lunch hour, this team is always ready to spring into action to attend to virtually any health emergency under the sun. According to Gabby, an RN in the Renown Regional ER, everyone in the ER must be ready for anything. "We are the first line of care that the patient receives before they are admitted or discharged," which means the team sees a wide variety of emergency situations each day. Patients rely on the ER to protect them and help them heal from severe conditions. From head injuries and broken bones to heart attacks and strokes, this team has seen it all at every time of the day and night. "The ER is an uncontrolled, unpredictable environment," said Miriam, an RN in the Renown Regional ER. "It's essential that we all are ready to jump in and help at any time." Beyond the general ER at Renown Regional, Renown Children's Hospital is the only accredited Children's Hospital Emergency Room in all northern Nevada. The first and only facility of its kind in the Reno-Tahoe region, this robust emergency department is equipped with pediatric specialists and child-sized equipment to give children the highest level of support. "We are proud to keep a fun atmosphere with vibrant colors to help our young patients ease their anxieties, making them as comfortable as possible while providing excellent care," said Ginger, Manager of Nursing for Renown Children's ER. While the majority of patients are treated onsite and discharged that same day, several ER patients get admitted to the hospital, when that happens, the emergency department works quickly with the Renown Transfer and Operations Center (RTOC) to get patients in a bed as soon as possible. All day and all night, ambulances and helicopters deliver members of our community in need of care. But never fear – our incredibly capable emergency department is here. Kicking off into immediate action is a core requirement for the emergency department, and it is a task the entire team has nailed down to a science. Team Tenacious When asked about their team, members of the emergency department echoed the same notion: "I am not alone." The emergency department never leaves their colleagues out to dry, and in an emergency environment, always being able to lend a hand whenever needed is vital. For Ashley, an RN at Renown Regional, one of the main reasons why she continues to work at Renown is because of her colleagues, along with a myriad of resources and state-of-the-art technology that are at their disposal. She adds, "It is such a joy to come in to work alongside my team." Amy, Supervisor of Nursing for the Renown South Meadows ER, feels the exact same way. "Being an emergency department, we sometimes see things you don't always see every day," said Amy. "It's a relief for our patients to know that they are in the best place in the region for their care. I credit all of that to my team." As our emergency room capabilities continue to grow, this also includes our Children's Hospital ER. Last year, the William N. Pennington Foundation provided a $7.5 million gift to the Renown Health Foundation to keep pediatric care – including pediatric emergency care – closer to home and expand our availability to our youngest patients. As reported last year, Dr. Joseph Gassen, a pediatric emergency doctor with Children's Hospital, was the only pediatric emergency physician in the region as of 2021. Thanks to this gift, he was able to move to Reno to provide care in the Children's Hospital ER. "The hospital is dedicated to improving the care of children in northern Nevada, and I wanted to be a part of this amazing vision," said Dr. Gassen. "I would not have been able to relocate to Reno without the support from the hospital and the William N. Pennington gift." Besides achieving optimal outcomes for their patients, their efforts also paid off in the form of awards and recognition. Internally, the emergency department recognizes Employees of the Month for their outstanding work. Recently, Renown Regional Emergency Physician Dr. Patrick Russell and Claire, an RN, were recognized with this honor. Outside organizations have also noticed these exceptional team members. The Reno Gazette Journal's recognized the Renown Regional ER as the Best Emergency Room in the 2022 Best of Reno Awards, complimenting Renown Regional's wins as the Best Hospital and Best Place to Have a Baby. The tenacity of the emergency department continues to surpass expectations, and their published achievements only scratch the surface of what is sure to come. A Growing Team of Heroes To continue meeting the growing need for emergency care regionally, especially when it comes to trauma and children's services, the emergency department is looking forward to welcoming new team members. For those looking for a fast-paced, team-oriented atmosphere and the opportunity to be on the healthcare frontlines, the emergency department is a perfect fit. As teamwork is clearly essential, the emergency department is an ideal environment for someone who is "not afraid to ask questions and always eager to learn new things," according to Miriam. While one staff member's patients may be settled, staff one assignment over could be overwhelmed with patient volume, so it is an imperative skill for a colleague to be a self-starter and take the initiative to help wherever needed. Bryan, an emergency trauma technician at Renown Regional, emphasizes this point, adding, "A good colleague is one that knows you well and can infer your body language. They know how to read a situation and pre-plan for the next step. Being attentive, a valuable resource and knowledgeable about patient populations – that's the works!" Career growth and lifelong learning are important to this group, so career-minded individuals will be in good company in the emergency department. "I choose Renown so I can jumpstart my career as a nurse in the top ER in the region," said Gabby. This team is always learning and always on top of the latest research – which only further solidifies Renown's place as the preeminent ER in northern Nevada and northeastern California. If you take one thing from this article, let it be these parting words from Amy: "These are some of the smartest, most devoted individuals you will ever meet, and we are so lucky to have them serving our emergency department. You will only regret not working with this team."

Avoid Heat Exhaustion With This Simple Checklist
Young children under 4 and adults over 65 are especially vulnerable to heat exhaustion. Avoid heat exhaustion this summer with some expert tips. Northern Nevada summers can be downright hot, and although the balmy temperatures can feel great, they may cause heat-related illness, also known as heat exhaustion. Infants and children under 4 and adults over 65 are particularly vulnerable to heat exhaustion because their bodies adjust to heat more slowly. Without proper intervention, heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke, which can damage the brain and other vital organs and even cause death. The Warning Signs of Heat Exhaustion Heavy sweating Elevation of body temperature Paleness Muscle cramps Tiredness, weakness, dizziness Headache Fainting Nausea or vomiting Cool and moist skin Fast and weak pulse Fast and shallow breathing Heat stroke happens when the body's temperature rises rapidly and the body loses its ability to sweat. The Symptoms of Heat Stroke Body temperatures rising to 106 degrees or higher within 10 to 15 minutes Red, hot and dry skin (no sweating) Rapid, strong pulse Throbbing headache Dizziness or nausea Prevention and Treatment Make sure your air conditioner works Stay indoors and drink plenty of fluids Limit strenuous outdoor activities to mornings and evenings Drink plenty of water throughout the day Avoid caffeine and alcohol Do outdoor activities in the shade and wear light, loose clothing Take plenty of breaks and drape a wet bandanna around your shoulders to cool down If you suspect you or someone else is headed toward heat exhaustion or heat stroke, call 911 immediately.

Cinco motivos para cambiar a la farmacia moderna de Renown
Renown Health has two retail pharmacy locations – one at Renown Regional on Pringle Way and another on Locust Street. And while many people think of a pharmacy as where we get prescriptions and pick up refills, it's so much more. Adam Porath, vice president of pharmacy services at Renown, discusses five benefits of switching to a Renown Pharmacy. 1. Hospital Integration With the Meds-to-Beds Program, the Renown Health Pharmacy delivers prescriptions to patients on the floor when they leave the hospital. Another thing that is interesting about the pharmacy is its integration with providers. So, if there is a problem with your prescription, the Renown Pharmacy can get hold of your provider right away. We also can see your lab results and make sure that the dose you are prescribed is the right one. 2. On-Site Vaccinations The Renown Health Pharmacy has a private consultation area to administer vaccines on-site. Their team routinely stocks more than a dozen vaccines, and you can call either location (Regional: 775-982-7737 and Locust Street: 775-982-5280) to see if what you're looking for is in stock. Appointments are available in MyChart. 3. Compounding Services Only a fraction of pharmacies in the United States provides compounding services. In the Reno/Sparks area, there are just a few and Renown Pharmacy is one of them. Traditional retail pharmacies take drugs received from a drug manufacturer and put them into a smaller container in the individual amount that the doctor prescribed for a patient. A compounding pharmacy provides medications that are not available commercially. For example, a doctor has prescribed a dose that is smaller than what is commercially available. Compounding the medication will provide the dosage as prescribed. Another example could be a child who can't take a tablet. The pharmacy may be able to use compounding to convert medications into something that is the child can take.

Enfermedad hepática no alcohólica y genética: ¿Existe alguna relación?
What exactly is the relationship between genetics and disease? Powered by Renown Health, the Healthy Nevada Project is one of the most visible genomic studies in the United States. They are recruiting participants here in northern Nevada to understand the relationship between genetics and nonalcoholic liver disease. Joseph Grzymski, Principal Investigator at the Healthy Nevada Project and Chief Scientific Officer at Renown Health, shares why this study is so important and who should take part. Many people are aware that heavy drinking can lead to liver disease. Yet they are unaware that other types of liver disease are not caused by alcohol consumption. These types of liver disease are more difficult to diagnose but are equally dangerous. What is NASH? A build-up of fat causes nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in the liver. The most dangerous form is called Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). It causes inflammation and damages liver cells, leading to fibrosis, scarring of the liver, and decreased liver function. If NASH goes untreated, irreversible liver damage can occur, leading to cirrhosis, cancer, or liver failure. These conditions can be fatal. What's most concerning about NASH is that the symptoms don't typically cause pain and aren't noticeable. The good news is that a new local study is raising awareness about this disease by recruiting at-risk people for NASH. Am I at risk for developing NASH? The following factors put you at risk: Obesity Type 2 diabetes Metabolic syndrome High blood lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides Does having a family member with nonalcoholic liver disease increase my risk? We do not know a lot about inheriting NASH, although a lot risk factors run in families. One goal of this study is to better understand the genetic component of NASH. There are certainly other risks too, such as environmental and behavioral risk factors. However, we don't yet have a good grasp on how these impact NASH risk. How is NASH diagnosed? Diagnosis is traditionally done with either a liver ultrasound or biopsy. However, both procedures are expensive and the invasive biopsy has risks. Therefore doctors often use risk factors or less invasive blood tests for diagnosis. This NASH study will include a new blood test called the enhanced liver function (ELF) test. Doctors and researchers have data suggesting that the ELF test is a better diagnostic test for NASH risk. Conducting this cutting-edge test with study participants allows them to share results with their doctors to ensure the best care. What can I do to reduce my NASH risk? Limiting exposure to the risk factors of NASH often lowers risk. Eating a healthy diet, maintaining a recommended weight and exercising regularly can proactively lower your risk.

¿Qué es el Healthy Nevada Project?
The Healthy Nevada Project (HNP) is one of the most visible genomic studies in the United States, and guess what? Renown Health powers it! The Healthy Nevada Project (HNP) aligns with Renown's goal to do the best for our patients. The genomic study is at no-cost for Nevadans and gives participants insight into different genetic traits, including results on three prevalent and serious health conditions known as CDC Tier 1 conditions. CDC Tier 1 Conditions Include: Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (HBOC) Lynch Syndrome Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) Not only does HNP give participants insights into their genetic background, but it also facilitates Renown's ability to study population health. Research lays the foundation for the future of medicine, and Renown's HNP is on the cutting edge of genetic research. We do this by providing skilled researchers access to studies for the diseases that currently have limited treatment, including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis liver disease or NASH. For example, the observational NASH study helps researchers understand genetic links to the disease. Make an Appointment to Get Screened If you haven't already, join the over 55,000 HNP participants and make an appointment to have yourself screened. You can schedule a screening appointment through MyChart. Click "Schedule an Appointment" and select Research Appointment - Genetic Screening.

Charles Dickens Rules!
This post has jumped the queue, pushing aside my notes about the joys of reading a bibliography.
This morning, I enjoyed a chat with a customer who insisted that Dickens shouldn't be read on a bus, a train or anywhere cold. Not too seriously, we set about deciding rules for enjoying an hour or so with these classics. But first, a glimpse at the passion, the obsession almost, that lies in the heart of Dickens followers.
Some years ago, I worked in an office where a Dickens enthusiast was the quiet one. (His other interest was researching dead people in a cemetery) However, when 'the enthusiast' heard that we were attending a training conference in Rochester, he made sure that he secured a place. Our team of three arrived at the famous hotel in the High Street where he insisted on having the room associated that one of the characters from the books. That was the start of the difficulty. You see, 'the enthusiast' was convinced that the hotel was promoting the wrong room as having the literary association. Two of us backed away as he argued with the receptionist, quoting letters from journals and 'definitive' research by an acknowledged authority
The dispute wasn't settled but things turned out well because 'the enthusiast' got the room he wanted and the receptionist didn't have to consider moving another guest from the official room. But the argument was only our first glimpse of the depth of the enthusiast's passion for everything Dickens. At half past six we mustered in the reception for the start of the guided walk that he had been promising for days. It was, of course, the best circumstances for a tour, three colleagues including an enthusiast who not only knew everything there was to know, but spoke from the heart. 'The enthusiast' shook "the Great Expectations gate" and stomped over the ground of Edwin Drood, all the time treating us to his version of the current controversies within the Dickens fan club. 'The enthusiast' might have been the quiet one in the office, but here was our first sight of the real man!
The point is – Dickens enthusiasts cannot rest with only the books but become absorbed into the Dickens world. I have been pleased to provide two of my bookshop customers (both Dickens collectors) with various choice editions but, over sixteen years, they have been best pleased with a domestic scrapbook of Dickens characters (from packet wrappers etc) and an old ticket to the 1951 Dickens festival.
For me, it is the magic of the great man's writing. Last summer, Christine and I visited Portsmouth Museum (we always do when we're down there because of the cottage pie in the little restaurant). In addition to the permanent Sherlock Holmes exhibition, visitors were treated to a Dickens exhibition, celebrating the bi-centenary. The real treasure was the handwritten manuscript of Nicholas Nickleby. Christine, knowing that I would spend a few minutes staring at this, went off to try on the Dickens costumes.
When she returned, I was still there. Forty-five minutes transfixed by this open page of handwriting in a glass case had seemed like just three or four to me
So, what are our rules for reading Charles Dickens?
Number one, we decided, was that you should read his books not to get to the end but slowly to digest his prose, reading and reading again those passages that capture you.
I said that he is best read aloud but my customer went further, imagining a Victorian family gathered around as someone read to them. Dickens should be read aloud but, better, read to an audience.
Rule number three, find your own Dickens space. The chair or corner of the room where you can settle and slip into your Dickens mood.
I guess all of this sounds like cosy sentimentality. Well, sentimentality is a charge that is often levelled at Charles Dickens. Cosy? Comfortable, certainly. But that comfort can hardly be drawn from, for example, returning to the horror of Nancy's murder or a sense that everything will turn out well; it doesn't. It's about the security of knowing that you're spending time with a man who can produce quality prose, vivid caricature and touch us with his reporting of London.
We decided on a final rule – a covenant, if you like. You should never recommend a favourite to new readers. They need to explore, and that's where we envy them.


Something to consider on a long—and possibly international—plane flight.
Instead of a dedicated eye shade that you'll use rarely other than for a few hours on the plane, use a wool hat or headband to cover your eyes and ears, planes tend to be cold anyway.
And if you have earplugs or earphones in, the headband will help them not fall out while you're snoozing.

Gary Millar serves as Principal of Queensland Theological College in Queensland, Australia. He is author of Calling on the Name of the Lord: A Biblical Theology of Prayer.
The most important thing to do when it comes to thinking about prayer is to let God speak. Our approach to prayer (and our practice) is often an amalgam of platitudes, folk religion, and basic biblical truths, rather than an exegetically rigorous and theologically rich account of the teaching of the Bible.
When we actually look at what the Bible teaches about prayer, it is surprisingly simple: to pray is to ask God to do what he has promised to do through Christ.
The core of the gospel is that we have nothing, contribute nothing, bring nothing to God. Prayer, which is made possible by the gospel and shaped by the gospel, works the same way. God gives to us; we don't give to God. We ask; he gives. Prayer depends on what he has done in us and for us, and on what he will do in us and for us.
We can ask for whatever we want, knowing that God will not give us anything bad for us, but only what is good for us (Luke 11:11–13). The apostle Peter exhorts us, "[Cast] all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7) — all your anxieties, even your mundane and material ones. Don't be afraid to ask him for anything, and don't hold back any burdens from him.
But our everyday expressions of need are not the burden of the New Testament when it comes to prayer. While Scripture encourages us to pray for all manner of things, God also clearly exhorts us to focus our prayer lives.
As you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure (Philippians 2:12–13).
If we want to grow and mature in prayer, we don't need to set a timer. We don't need to learn new contemplative methods, or build a prayer closet in the woods. But we do need to become better ask-ers. We need to realize that we are all walking disasters apart from grace, men and women who need God every step of every day. We would all make a shipwreck of our life and the lives of those around us if God did not intervene.
The gospel yells at us, You are weak and sinful, flawed, and needy — but God is strong, gracious, and good — and ready to answer. Ask him to do what he has already promised to do for you. And keep praying, until that day when we won't need to pray anymore from a distance, because we will see our great Promiser, Provider, and King face to face.

Heading north from Salamanca to catch the ferry at Bilbao we decided to have an overnight break at Palencia.
Checking into the Hotel wasn't as hard as expected although the receptionist didn't speak a single word of English.
The room was beautiful set on the second floor, with heated floor tiles which was quite unusual. The sneaky buggers however, charge an extra €5 to park the bike in their own carpark under the hotel.
As we'd arrived early we took a walk around town. The free tourist map is really good with different walking tours marked on the map. Not far from the hotel is the cathedral, known officially as the Holy Cathedral Basilica of St. Antolín. The cathedral, like everything in Spain, closes for lunch so we continued on our walk discovering that basically the whole town had shut down for siesta.
Returning to the Cathedral we were stunned to find that they charge an entrance fee of €5, with a small map to find your way around but no other information, guide books are extra. The Cathedral is quite large surprisingly for a rural centre and is dedicated to St. Antolín, whose chapel still contains relics. St. Antolín or St Antoninus of Pamiers was born in Pamiers and spent his life as a missionary before being martyred at Vallis Nobilis, now Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the French Pyrenees. He is said to have lived somewhere between the 1st and 5th century as he is often confused with other missionaries of the same name and supposedly performed many miracles. The relics (bits of his body) supposedly were brought back from Syria.
Beneath the cathedral is the crypt of St Antolin, an early temple which was built by the Visigoths back in the seventh century. Walking down into the crypt is a trip back in time with oil lamps hanging from the arched ceiling, carved pillars and curved windows with narrow slits which now are part of the foundations of the cathedral.
One odd tomb we found near the chapel of the Shrine was the tomb of Ines de Osorio, a noble lady who died a widow and childless. In her will she left a large sum of money to the cathedral with which they could finish the vaults of the transept and a few other areas. On her tomb is a statue of herself but at the feet is a small girl with pigtails. We googled her name and were amazed to discover that the girl with pigtails was actually her maid in waiting. Local tradition for all students is to pull the girls pigtails for good luck in exams. Sadly we did not get a clear photo but here you can see some images.
The cathedral is the only one built in Spain during the 14th century being built over the existing buildings. The exterior is pretty plain and maybe reflects its functionality or even the mindset of the builders. The cathedral ticks all the boxes for architecture as it has all the different styles through the ages visigoth, romanesque, gothic, renaissance and some beautifully decorated chapels, everything you'd expect from a cathedral. The ticket price however, at €7 you'd expect a brief history leaflet but this cathedral is about making money so guidebooks were extra, and at this price really was a rip off.
Around the city there are some nice walks along the river and we spotted some swans with cygnets. The adult swans were plucking reeds out of the bottom of the river and feeding the young ones. It was something we'd never seen before.
As the day was so lovely and sunny we walked around following the self guided tours which was quite interesting.
One thing about Palencia we discovered was although accommodation was quite cheap, finding a reasonably priced place to eat was pretty challenging and eventually we settled on a local kebab shop.
The next morning as we ate breakfast a strange burning smell wafted through the restaurant. No alarms were going off but not taking any chances we hurriedly packed and headed for the road. Next stop Miranda De Ebro.

Q: Ubuntu 12.04 : Should I update? I have a server with Ubuntu Server 12.04 installed. It is a Pentium M old computer (about 2006), with a very basic BIOS.
I am having some problems with the server, namely, running the latest versions of well-known programs...
Then, should I update it to a newer version of Ubuntu? Which one is the highest version supported by my system? Is it in fact the one that I got?

A: If your machine is off-line without connection to the web, then you'll be safe using an unsupported, un-patched system like Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (which has been EOL since April 2019)
If your machine is serving other machines that are connected to the web, the risk will be increased over the safety of all machines being off-line, and upgrading is for sure recommended.
Personally I used model M and model 4 processors to test flavors up to and including 19.04 cycle (Lubuntu & Xubuntu) or until the x86/i386 images were dropped (pre-release), however with 18.10 & 19.04 now EOL they should likewise be avoided.
The last release I tested was flavors of Ubuntu 18.04.5 (http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2020/08/14/ubuntu-18-04-5-lts-released/) and it's what I'd recommend.
If you're using Ubuntu 18.04.5 server, it will be supported 5 years from release (2018-April) or 2023-April (http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2020/08/14/ubuntu-18-04-5-lts-released/) and it's what I'd select.
I did have some issues with the (18.04.5 5.4; others did too) HWE kernel on 2003 pentium M models, thus I'd recommend using 18.04 LTS with the GA kernel, but none of those issues were noticed on pentium M processors used in 2005 model laptops. Myself (and I use 2x pentium M laptops) I use the GA kernel.
The upgrade path from 12.04 LTS was to 12.10 (next release) or next LTS release (14.04 which is now EOL & ESM only), so you've missed the intended upgrade path. You could try, but personally given it's out of support (14.04 being EOL & ESM only is off-topic on this and other Ubuntu sites now), I'd recommend re-install of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (no desktop in i386, I've assumed flavor or server; if you're using a server I'd recommend a light flavor for sure)

Challenging the gate? What is this, something like a WWF smackdown?
Much thanks to a grad student of mine, Brendan Van Voris, for sending me this image.
reminds me of an old skit on saturday night live for a kid's rubber ball called the Happy Fun Ball. the 10-second ad was followed by 60-seconds of disclaimers, one of which was "do not taunt Happy Fun Ball."

Elvis sauntered right up to me, plopped on the ground and ignored me. Smooth, real smooth.
Meanwhile Tinker and Kitten eyed me nonchalantly from a distance. Without the magic silver can I was barely worth a second glance. Ah, Friskies you attention hoarder.
So who do these calm critters await? Who could possibly be more sought after than me?
Mary and Ann of course! I should have known, the Poochy Doos duo are the Top Dogs!
Wielding scrumptious meals, keeping snuggles at the ready, and following a comforting routine this team is their family when family is away.
Mary, Ann, and the whole Poochy Doos team are dedicated pet sitters, dog walkers & hikers, and dog training service in the Fort Collins, Colorado and surrounding area.
Curios about what a visit with Poochy Doos would be like I asked to tag along one evening.
The routine Poochy Doos follows is the same routine the pets are already accustomed to.
Meals are served at the same time the owner serves. The pet sitter comes and goes just like the family. Up and out the door in the morning "going to work", a visit for lunch midday if needed, and home at night "after work".
Evenings are filled with normal activities like watering plants, checking the mail, cleaning up and watching t.v.
On this visit Ann fed Elvis, Tinker and Kitten then headed for the barn. This family has a few feral kitties they nurture until they are ready for a permanent home. All their dishes were lined up and filled.
Next it's out to fill the wild bird feeders while Tinker and Kitten oversee.
We all enjoyed dinner on the back patio chatting, watching the birds feed and Elvis lounge.
After only two hours I felt like I made new friends. We all share the same passion for animals, the same dedication to their wellbeing, and compassion for animals in general.
Thanks Poochy Doos for a sneak peek into your world!
Give them a call if you have questions about any of their pet services at 1-970-420-9181.

About Malaika
THE OUTNET X ROKSANDA
Summer Leadership Programs
Noella, her two children, and her husband James visited the Democratic Republic of Congo this past July, along with Noella's sister-in-law, Beth. It was amazing having them at Malaika for six weeks, where they worked everyday with the community. Noella's children, who spent the full six weeks in the Congo with her, were able to spend precious time in the village, playing with other children and feeling at home. During this time, Noella and the Malaika team met with the Kalebuka community, parents, Ministers, local donors and students. Noella also held several management meetings, followed up on the current school construction, and assessed the day-to-day operations of the school and center with the local staff. A large thank you to Beth for all of the school supplies she and her friends gifted us!
While there, James ran leadership programs for the entire management staff and Beth worked with teachers to reshape and improve this year's curriculum. Other projects included business and craft workshops for mothers. As a result of these workshops, the mothers learned how to make soap for the school and community.
"I was amazed at how the school had grown since my last trip in every aspect: the size of the school, the girls' personal development, the amazing atmosphere and their hunger to make the most of the gift Malaika has given them all. This make me immensely proud! …Everybody was so warm and happy to greet me, full of smiles and wide eyes wanting to take the opportunities they have been given. All of this gave me tears of joy and made me realise that all the hard work over the last 10+ years is making a massive difference and I thank everybody that has been involved in the past, present and in the future." – James Masters

Brick Builders Club got on the Star Wars "train" in December with a Star Wars themed BrickSwag box. This made it all that more exciting.
The first thing we noticed when we opened it was a very nice Star Wars themes t-shirt.
This shirt is pretty cool because it shows the different light sabers and asks you to choose a side. It's a very nice, quality shirt and one that I'm sure will be worn often.
This 47-piece set makes a nice little addition to anyone's Star Wars Lego collection. There was also another small lego set in a blue package and it's a mystery what's inside until you open it. You had the chance of either getting a Tie Fighter or X-Wing Fighter Set.
These posters they include in their boxes seem so clever and they are made with quality paper. I like the size of them as they don't take up a huge amount of wall space. We also found a small bag of different helmets for the Star Wars Clone Army.
Finally, they always include the Build Magazine. In this little magazine, you will find pictures of BrickSwag subscriber selfies or photos of them and their box. BrickSwag always picks a few to highlight. Brayden hopes to make the book someday. This magazine also has instructions for the Lego set that is included in the box as well as other Lego building ideas.
As usual, there was a small brick displaying the month of December and the cool thing about this brick is the fact it's written in Star Wars Type Font.
For the Star Wars fan, this Brick Swag box was great! I really liked the lightsaber inspired t-shirt and, of course, we always have fun putting Lego sets together.
Remember, if you would like to subscribe and start getting your own BrickSwag boxes, check out their website.
Special thanks to Brick Builders Club for allowing us to review and share their December box!

The Near East has long been a source of fascination because of its ancient cultures and its connection to the foundations of Western civilization, from the origins of civilization at Sumer to its influence on the development of the Jewish and Christian faiths and on ancient Greece and Rome. When archaeologists began exploring the ruins of the Near East in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, they often came with the intent of proving the Bible's historical accuracy. These rare photos from the Library of Congress show the Near East's archaeological sites as they were when first uncovered, before modern excavation and restoration efforts.


Films with difficult subject matter should really be the subtitle to this post. Last night's movie was Selma, charting the extreme violence levelled at those willing to risk personal injury to stand up for basic human rights. Tonight's film was Kill the Messenger, another film based on true events, detailing the CIA's links to the trafficking of drugs into the U.S. from Nicaragua, with the express aim of raising money to fund a war against pro-Russian forces in Central America.
As disheartening as these stories are, it is reassuring that we get to hear about them. The mechanisms of our current democratic systems, whether they be the U.S. or the European model, allow for such stories to be told, and although they may leave one feeling powerless, there is hope in the knowledge that people in office can be held accountable and that pressure can be applied to ensure that such things never happen again.
Of course, we must not be fooled into thinking that there will not be various other forms of scandalous behaviour committed by those in authority, by those who really should know better, but as the access to information increases in this age of unprecedented technological advancement, the ability for those wrongdoers to cover their deeds in secrecy and deception is ever decreasing. Perhaps this fundamental shift in power will serve to engage those who have become apathetic towards the very systems that govern our lives.
