The Wright Center offers accredited, comprehensive and community-focused residency programs throughout northeast Pennsylvania and across the United States. As the largest Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education consortium in the country, our innovative curriculum merges ACGME, AOA and Electronic Health Record Meaningful Use competencies.
Our Family Medicine Residency immerses residents in high-performing, certified Patient-Centered Medical Homes, Community Health Centers, FQHCs and community-based hospitals. Residents are empowered to lead clinical and educational improvements, and in fact, as part of their training, are expected to lead or actively participate in six or more short-cycle process improvements each year.
Our unique National Family Medicine Residency was established in 2011 and now spans four states and two coasts, addressing physician workforce shortages and escalating rural healthcare disparities. Our innovative national consortium model brings together the residency experience of The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education, the educational infrastructure of A.T. Still University and its School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona (SOMA) and the osteopathic training support of Still OPTI to create a dynamic team focused on the success of the residents. Local program directors oversee the operations at each site and work with the leadership teams from the partnering FQHCs.
We have established training locations in: Tucson, Arizona (El Rio Community Health Center); New Richmond, Ohio (HealthSource of Ohio); Auburn, Washington (HealthPoint); and Washington, D.C. (Unity Health Care).
Unity Health Care is committed to promoting healthier communities in the Washington, D.C. area through compassion and comprehensive health and human services, regardless of ability to pay. Founded in 1985 as the Health Care for the Homeless Project to provide primary health care services to homeless individuals and families that resided in local emergency shelters or on the streets of the District of Columbia, Unity Health Care is comprised of 9 Community-Based Health Centers and has 10 medical sites in local homeless shelters, 2 school-based health centers, a mobile outreach van, and staffs the Department of Corrections medical unit. Within their clinics, Unity Health Care offers primary care and specialty services including oral health, behavioral health, OB/GYN, infectious disease care and podiatry. This provides our residents a unique opportunity to get trained at correctional and homeless medicine, as well as elective opportunities in various specialties.
Rotations for our residents occur in different training locations, including various Unity Health Care sites, Howard University Hospital, Children's National Health System, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Providence Hospital, and United Medical Center. As a resident within the Unity Health Care system, Unity will be your home base. Here you will be part of a team of more than 980 compassionate, multicultural, multilingual professionals from both primary care and specialty service fields. Residents are placed in one of our two Unity resident clinic sites for their continuity clinic - Upper Cardozo or Parkside.
We also utilize technology to foster collaborative and remote learning opportunities within our NFMR. Our learners share their Community-Oriented Primary Care research projects and participate in didactic opportunities with other NFMR residents across the country on a consistent basis throughout the year.
For those future residents interested in training at a primary care focused, urban FQHC with a diverse patient population and at a strong academic and supportive learning environment apply through ERAS!

Ginger is commonly known to aid digestion and that is exactly how I use this oil. When feeling car sick or nausea this is a great oil to have on hand. It also may help to reduce bloating, gas, and occasional indigestion.
Ginger is a hot, spicy oil so be sure to use this oil with a carrier oil if applying topically.
Companion Oils: Cassia, Fennel, Blue Tansy, Encouraging Blend, Inspiring Blend, and Spearmint.
Try creating your own diffuser blends with Ginger. Get inspired!

Q: How to scan values from each words based on tables and then calculate it And Make The VSM (Vector Space Model) From It Say that I have a table that contains probabilities from each words from another table. This Table has 2 classes; actual and non_actual. I will name it master_table
 actual = [0.5;0.4;0.6;0.75;0.23;0.96;0.532]; %sum of the probabilities is 1.
actual + non_actual = 1
non_actual = [0.5;0.6:0.4;0.25;0.77;0.04;0.468];
words = {'finn';'jake';'iceking';'marceline';'shelby';'bmo';'naptr'};
master_table = table(actual,non_actual,...
'RowNames',words)

And then I have a table that contains sentences. I will name it T2
sentence = {'finn marceline naptr';'jake finn simon marceline haha';'jake finn finn jake iceking';'bmo shelby shelby finn naptr';'naptr naptr jake finn bmo shelby'}
T2 = table('RowNames',sentence)

How to make like this (Words that dont belong in the master_table like "simon", "haha" have value 1, so it wont affects the calculation of the probabilities to determine the class) :
                                    actual %determines the value based on probabilities from each words%        non_actual               class
finn marceline naptr                0.5 * 0.75 * 0.532                                                         0.5 * 0.25 * 0.468        compares the value from each class. if actual > non_actual then the class should be "actual"
jake finn simon marceline haha      0.4 * 0.5 * 1 * 0.25 * 1                                                   0.6 * 0.5 * 1 * 0.75 * 1
jake finn finn jake iceking
bmo shelby shelby finn naptr
naptr naptr jake finn bmo shelby

And how to make the VSM (vector space model) from the problem above:
                                                                        WORDS
                                    | bmo | finn | jake | iceking | haha | marceline | naptr | shelby | simon |     %words sorted alphabetically
finn marceline naptr                   0     1       0        0       0        1         1       0       0
jake finn simon marceline haha         0     1       1        0       1        1         0       0       1
jake finn finn jake iceking            0     2       2        1       0        0         0       0       0
bmo shelby shelby finn naptr           1     1       0        0       0        0         1       1       0
naptr naptr jake finn bmo shelby       1     1       1        0       0        0         1       1       0

A: as a quick solution following code should solve your problem:
% Split the sentence into single strings
s = strsplit(sentence{1});

% loop over all single strings
for i=1:length(s)
    % search for each string pattern in the words-cell
    c = strfind(words,s{i});
    % get a logical vector for getting the index of the found pattern in
    % the words-cell
    ix=cellfun('isempty', c);
    ind = find(ix == 0);

    if actual(ind) > non_actual(ind)
        % do something with actual...
    end;
end;

you should read the help chapters for each function used in the code: strsplit strfind cellfun for getting more information about how they work.

A: This is a bit loopy as well but i fell like performance is not an issue. I would create a bigger table first and then change the values in a loop:
T2 = table(ones(height(T2),1),ones(height(T2),1),repmat({''},height(T2),1),'RowNames',sentence,'VariableNames',{'actual' 'non_actual' 'outcome'});

for i=1:height(T2)
    % split the row name
    A=strsplit([T2.Properties.RowNames{i,:}]);
    actual=1; %which is neutral for multiplication
    non_actual=1;
    for j=1:length(A)
       actual = actual *  master_table{A(j),1};
       non_actual = non_actual *  master_table{A(j),2};
    end
    %if you need those
    T2.actual(i)=actual;
    T2.non_actual(i)=non_actual;

    if actual > non_actual
        T2.outcome(i)={'actual'};
    else
        T2.outcome(i)={'non_actual'};
    end;
end;

TSG's JT Schaffer Promoted to General Manager
The Shippers Group is proud to announce the recent promotion of JT Schaffer to General Manager at two of our facilities in Mesquite and Grand Prairie, TX.
JT joined The Shippers Group back in 2013 as part of a 3-year training program where he worked in the Illinois location and all Texas locations. During this time, he worked in various roles including inventory control, picking, loading, and supervision. Upon completion of the training program in 2016, JT was promoted to Operations Manager at our Wintergreen facility in Hutchins, TX. Near the end of 2019, JT led a successful start-up of our second Grand Lakes location, where he took on the new role as the Sr. Operations Manager.
The Shippers Group opened two new facilities in Texas this year, and JT was instrumental in both start-ups. His promotion to General Manager includes the facility in Grand Prairie he helped start-up last year and the location in Mesquite that he helped open this year.
A graduate of the University of North Texas with a degree in Finance, JT is a proud husband to Jordan and father to his daughter, Chandler. JT and Jordan are also expecting baby #2 in April, and Chandler is very excited about her new little brother. Doubling as an Instagram husband for his wife during his spare time, JT also enjoys reading, going to the lake, hunting, and rooting for the home teams—Mavs, Cowboys, Rangers, and Stars.
When asked about his new position, JT shared "I would like to take the time to thank all the people who have helped me along the way to get to this position where I'm at today: Raul Martinez (WG2), Don Brown (WG2), Mac McClurg (Retired), Ken Patterson (AHA), Julian Garcia, Don Blakney (Bolingbrook), Trey Muggley (WG2), John Dennington, and the entire corporate team. I would also like to give a special thanks to Kurt Wenzel, General Manager – Wintergreen 1, for everything he's been able to teach me, which has prepared me to take on this role." He continued to say, "The game plan for both buildings is still the same – provide quality service in a clean building."
Congratulations, JT!
The Shippers Group was founded in 1901 and today employs over 1400 associates nationwide. For more information on The Shippers Group, visit our services page.


The Occasional Birder: Finally, a Piece of the Action!
So the strong westerlies that have been sweeping the country over the last few days has brought in all manner of American waders to UK shores, and we were beginning to wonder if we were going to get in on the action at all. Luckily, yesterday we did as A Buff-Breasted Sandpiper turned up on the South of the island. The bird remained and we easily twitched, giving superb views, sometimes at very close range. The Buff-Breasted Sandpiper breeds up in the tundra of North America and winters in South America, making it a very long distance migrant. It is one of the commonest American waders to visit our shores, but none-the-less it is still a lovely little bird. This lover of short grasslands was first found on the island "golf course."
On the same day, we were also joined by c1000 Pink-Footed Geese seeking shelter from the fog. These noisy migrants could be heard all over the north of the island for the day, before most of them left last night. It was quite something being up on the hills during census and having a flock of 800 passing at virtually eye-level. This photo is of one of the smaller flocks, containing roughly 130 birds.
I woken up again this morning by Will, this time offering me a Sparrowhawk as a ringing tick. Needless to say that I was very cautious when first given it, but it was amazing to have such an impressive predator in the hand!
My quest for the ever growing population of Lapland Buntings on the island continues, having bottomed out no less than four times when trying to see one!
.. You got a buff ! Well done with the sphawk .. I got shredded the first time (and nearly last) that I got to handle one .. fingers still weep at the memory. Gd Lck with the laps !

On a mission to bring progressive period care to Canadian menstruators, nixit launched its homegrown menstrual cup in Canada in 2020.
Since August 2020, our scope of work has included influencer and media relations, as well as community engagement. Through thoughtfully curated influencer mail drops and media relations campaigns, we got the word out by putting nixit into influential vaginas. We believe in the power of a diverse group of people — not only traditional influencers. With this program, we're engaging with influential Canadians who are part of the 1.8 billion girls, women, trans men, intersex, genderfluid, and non-binary people who bleed and are open to sharing their stories.
The strategy was to connect with like-minded consumers on an emotional level. We weren't interested in disingenuous content for the sake of getting impressions. We created a list of people who are influential in their own realm and who are using their voice for issues aligning with nixit's values. Follower count was not the top metric used to evaluate potentials. We also asked ourselves if this person is genuinely influential offline. Was this a person who cares about good products, would smash period stigma, and could help spread the word amongst our target audience beyond an Instagram post? If the answer was yes, they made the list.
Recognizing everyone's period journey is different, we wanted to make sure that nixit was genuinely of interest to the people we wanted to connect with. There was no room for assumptions about a person's gender, identity, or health. So, as a next step, we personally reached out to each person on our list to gauge their interest and make sure that nixit was something they truly wanted to try. If influencers didn't love the product afterwards, there was no obligation to post about it.
Next, we activated media relations. Our strategy centred around three angles. The brand, the product and Rachael Newton, the founder. We curated a Canadian media list of people who were just right for the story, aiming for quality over quantity. Our primary media targets were reporters and editors reaching millennial and Gen Z audiences.
Our news angles highlighted unexpected product features – like mess-free period sex. We also covered nixits positive environmental impact and how the brand truly works to 'nix' period stigma and raise awareness for the trans menstruation experience.
Our mail drop and press release launched in tandem, making sure that chatter in the media landscape was heavily flowing with talk about nixit. ?
Our efforts positioned nixit as the period product of 2020 and brought founder Rachael Newton into the spotlight as an innovator in the menstrual health and wellness space.
By the end of 2020, nixit had appeared in several notable Canadian publications, such as FLARE, The Kit, and the Toronto Star. nixit's menstrual cup had landed on several lists, being referred to as one of the best giftable sex accessories available.
We built and maintained strong relationships with mail drop recipients, resulting in organic social media coverage and growth across all major channels, as well as meaningful conversations held on podcasts and Instagram Live.
The coverage we secured had a total reach of 159,134,161, with 157,925,621 coming from online media and 1,208,540 coming from social media.
nixit's momentum has shown no sign of slowing down and we are proud to continue our partnership into 2021.
On May 20, 2021 Matte PR was recognized at the Bulldog PR Awards, winning Gold for Best Beauty, Fashion or Lifestyle Campaign for our achievements with nixit. Later, on June 15, 2021 the campaign was once again celebrated, winning Bronze at the Canadian Public Relations Society (CPRS) Achieving Communications Excellence (ACE) Awards for New Product or Service Launch Campaign of the Year.

Q: How to pass lambda expression as parameters in C++ I had met problems in passing lambda expression in C++ and I can't resolve it by searching myself.
    template <typename T>
    int count_if(typename linkList<T>::iterator it_start, typename linkList<T>::iterator it_end, bool (*cmp)(T) ){
        int ret = 0;
        while(it_start != it_end){
            if(cmp(*it_start)) ++ret;
            ++it_start;
        }
        return ret;
    }

this is the function doesn't contain lambda expression.
and I can use the sentence below to get the answer.
 cout << algorithm::count_if(lk.begin(),lk.end(),cmp) << endl;

lk is a linklist I write myself and it support "++" "begin" "end" functions or operator.
but what's the problem is I can't lambda expression in this function
 cout << algorithm::count_if(lk.begin(),lk.end(),[](int a)->bool{return a>= 50;})

I want to use this sentence to get the answer by lambda expression.
and I rewrite the function.
    template <typename T>
    int count_if(typename linkList<T>::iterator it_start, typename linkList<T>::iterator it_end, std::function<bool (T)> _cmp){
        int ret = 0;
        while(it_start != it_end){
            if(_cmp(*it_start)) ++ret;
            ++it_start;
        }
        return ret;
    }

but compile failed.
it shows
   candidate template ignored: could not match 'function<bool (type-parameter-0-0)>' against '(lambda at main.cpp:24:53)'
    int count_if(typename linkList<T>::iterator it_start, typename linkList<T>::iterator it_end, std::function<bool (T)> _cmp){

I don't know how to do and is confused by these concepts. Thanks for any advise or methon to resolve the problem ,for that I can use lambda expression in calling my function

A: A lambda is a different type than std::function. You can add another template parameter to allow passing anything callable (which lambdas are) as the comparator function.
template <typename T, typename Predicate>
int count_if(typename linkList<T>::iterator it_start, typename linkList<T>::iterator it_end, Predicate&& cmp ){
    int ret = 0;
    while(it_start != it_end){
        if(cmp(*it_start)) ++ret;
        ++it_start;
    }
    return ret;
}


Titus 2:11–14 [ESV] For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
Leaders and celebrity Christians in American Evangelicalism have found themselves in quite a quandary. While they realize the need to actively participate in the social media world to reach their followers, in doing so they open themselves up to widespread commentary from those that may not agree with them. So what is an overseer to do?
Enter the "block" button (aka the "banhammer").
Ran into @macklemore & his fiancé last night at Maui airport. Got to tell him he's inspired me artistically for awhile. Super nice folks.
@JeffersonBethke He mocks Christians. Did you share the Gospel?
@JeffersonBethke @alyssajoybethke Yes, did you share the Gospel with Macklemore who mocks Christ?
That's right, Mrs. Lam was immediately blocked by Jefferson Bethke upon her asking him if he shared the Gospel with someone who openly mocks Christians and is hostile to the Word of God. So much for being above reproach.
Some of you might be saying, "But Landon, it's not like Mr. Bethke is a pastor or something. The qualifications for an overseer (1 Timothy 3) don't apply to him!" My dear friends, if this is what you're thinking, you are dead wrong. Ever since rising to Christian fame through his spoken word YouTube video, Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus, and subsequent book, Jesus > Religion , Mr. Bethke has been an influential teacher in modern-day Christianity; specifically influential amongst Millennials. The simple truth is that Mr. Bethke has positioned himself as a teacher of Christianity, someone who has authority and ability to teach the Word of God. As someone in that position, one would do well to be conscious of the Biblical requirements thereby added to their account.
Further, as Paul made clear to Titus (Titus 2:11-12), the Grace of God has appeared, in part, to train "us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions". As someone who on his "About" page claims he is "…quite the avid grace lover," should he not then make it a point to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions? And with that truth firmly established, should not Mr. Bethke then make it a point to renounce and warn about Macklemore and his promotion of ungodliness, worldly passions, and hostility toward the Word of God?
The obvious answer to those questions are yes, Jefferson Bethke should not only end his endorsement of Macklemore, he should make it a point to publicly renounce those previous endorsements and warn Christians to stay away from his music.
If you are unfamiliar with Macklemore, I will briefly explain why this man is not someone with whom Christians should associate. Macklemore is an American rapper whose real name is Ben Haggerty. Without diving into his complete discography, suffice to say that Mr. Haggerty has been a popular and influential musician in America since roughly the year 2012.
America the brave still fears what we don't know.
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago.
That has infiltrated and falsely interpreted Jesus.
One life, one love, one God, it's us, treated your neighbor how you would want to be treated.
The universal laws of God, don't look too far, it's right here, us human beings.
The spirit's right here and I don't have to see it.
Now every time I want to connect with God I put my headphones on. . . .
In the back trying to read, but see that something was off.
Maybe it was cause I was trying to huddle in the yard.
Preacher didn't connect when he would mumble the Psalms.
Tyler Day of ChristianCentury.org summed this up well when he asked how we could categorize Macklemore's theology. Ethical humanism with a tinge of anthropomorphic universalism?
Maybe it's best we don't. At one point he calls rap "an accurate representation of who people are as individuals and the environment that they grew up in." The same may be true of Macklemore's theology: it's an accurate representation of a culture of seekers, the spiritual but not religious, the label repellent. They use traditional language to speak of new forms and subjective reality. They prefer a bar to a church. Because as Macklemore says in "Neon Cathedral," "Round here they sing broken hymns. /Their prayers flow better when they're soaked in gin."4 In other words, this man is a postmodern to the core.
Should any Christian be endorsing this guy? Absolutely not! Why, then, is Jefferson Bethke not only endorsing Macklemore and his assault on the Christ Mr. Bethke claims to profess, but subsequently blocking anyone who dare ask that very question? The problem lies within the theology of what made Mr. Bethke a Christian celebrity in the first place and what Andy Stanley has recently decided to adopt; this idea that church is bad and Jesus is good. It's the theology that the church is preventing people from "making decisions for Jesus" and thus inherently denies the sovereignty of God.
@dartise @macklemore love him. Look up to him a ton as an artist & someone who's honed his craft. Also helps we both from/live in Seattle!
@jason_huntrods how did the pagan quotes that the apostle paul quoted in Acts 17 answer all those questions u just asked?
As Mr. Huntrods correctly went on to point out, Paul is addressing non-believers, not Christians. He's also presenting the Gospel, not making general statements – context is important. Why should Christians buy the next Macklemore album to hear about their hypocrisy and failure when God gave us His inerrant, infallible, and thoroughly sufficient Word?
Please understand I am in no way making a judgment regarding Mr. Bethke's eternal salvation and whether or not he is a brother in Christ, that is not my place. But as a high-profile professing believer, it distresses me greatly that he would not answer a simple Biblical question and instead opt to run away from the concern.
Unfortunately, this is the new norm when it comes to high-profile Christian leaders; they publicly post and/or present something anti-Biblical, ecumenical, or theologically incorrect and when their public teaching is challenged publicly, they either run away (block the person) or turn and launch an aggressive reputation-smearing campaign and incorrectly label the challenger a hypocrite and a Pharisee. Sure doesn't seem very "loving", does it?
Thus, it is reasonable to ask why, as a Christian leader, Mr. Bethke continues to endorse an unregenerate man and his anti-biblical, God-hating music to Christians.
With the evidence presented, Christians would do well to personally ask Jefferson Bethke why he gets his inspiration from someone who hates God and beg of him to repent and turn from such filth.
Just don't be surprised when you you are ignored and bear the brunt of the banhammer.


Despite an impressive first season as the Philadelphia Phillies hitting coach, Matt Stairs left for stability in San Diego, as he joined Andy Green's coaching staff as the Padres hitting coach last Friday. It wouldn't be shocking if his successor is his former teammate Raul Ibanez.
With the Phillies reportedly set to name Los Angeles Dodgers director of player development Gabe Kapler their next manager, Ibanez could make quite a bit of sense as team's next hitting coach. Besides the fact that he had over 2,000 hits in his 19-year big league career, Ibanez is well connected to Kapler. Since Feburary of 2016, Ibanez has been a special assistant to Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers president of baseball operations. Friedman is one of the most respected executives in the league, especially by someone like Kapler. That Friedman brought Ibanez into the front-office almost immediately after his career ended won't be lost on Kapler.
In addition to both having worked in the Dodgers front-office, the two have the common connection of both having worked at FS1. Their tenures didn't overlap at FS1, but they have mutual connections from their stint on the network. They also saw quite a bit of each other early in their playing careers, when Ibanez played for the Seattle Mariners and Kapler was with the Texas Rangers.
Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, who broke the news that the Phillies plan to hire Kapler, did note that Kapler has some detractors around the league, with some viewing him as overly intense. Ibanez, who was once voted the second nicest player in the MLB, might be a perfect compliment to Kapler.
One thing that could get in the way of Ibanez joining Kapler's staff in Philadelphia is that he's been connected to the managerial vacancy that the New York Yankees now have. A chance to manage one of his former teams, one that is full of young talent and finished a win away from the World Series in 2017, would obviously take precedent over following Kapler to Philadelphia.
The Phillies, of course, wouldn't be limited to hiring Ibanez as a hitting coach. Kapler could elect to go with another hitting coach, but still offer Ibanez a job as the bench coach, first base coach or third base coach. However, Ibanez is a well enough viewed commodity around the league that it may take more than a base coach job to get him to part with his current roles with the Dodgers and as a studio analyst for ESPN. And given that Kapler's managerial experience is limited to a one-season stint as a Single-A manager in the Boston Red Sox organization, the team may elect to go with a more experienced bench coach. So a role as the team's hitting coach would seem to make the most sense.
Ibanez, 45, spent three of his 19 major league seasons playing for the Phillies. 2009, when he hit 34 home runs and was an All-Star for a Phillies team that went to the World Series, was the best season of his career.


A mountaineer and an entrepreneur, Akash Jindal has been scaling heights since the tender age of 16. Now, in the summer of 2016, he plans to climb the world's highest mountain, Mt. Everest. Read on as we have a candid conversation with him about how he got into climbing and his gruelling and extremely rewarding experiences.
Having graduated in 2014, I never applied for jobs or sat for placements as I wanted to create jobs instead of seeking one, and give a chance to myself and my dreams of following my passion for climbing. Soon after graduation, along with a friend, I worked towards a start-up by the name of Mission Outdoors that's related to adventure travel.
In the past one year, we have organised successful expeditions in Europe, Australia, Africa and Nepal. I have been climbing for about 6 years now, and I'm glad as it has taken me to places I wouldn't have been to otherwise. Now, I'm working on a project to climb Mount Everest and while doing so, raise awareness about viral Hepatitis with which I had a brief encounter and realised how little we know about this life-threatening virus.
Mountaineering extraordinaire, you've lead peaks like Mt. Elbrus (Europe's highest mountain) and lots more at just 18, and now want to conquer Mount Everest too! What made you get into mountaineering?
It was out of sheer luck that I got into climbing. I remember back in class 11 when instead of opting for a school trip to Goa, I decided to do one thing I had never done before. I browsed and found a kayaking course but since it was already full, I was offered a chance to do a basic mountaineering course by the same institute. I picked up climbing just like a fish to water and have been climbing ever since. My climbs range from the highest mountains of the continent to virgin peaks in the Himalayas to winter climbs. Now I want to go for the most rewarding one yet - a climb to Everest. I was just waiting all this while to gather the right skills and patience, and I believe the time has now come.
Out of all the places you've trekked in, which one was the absolute best destination?
Deo Tibba, a peak of over 20,000 ft in Himachal is without a doubt the most beautiful climb I have ever done. It was a gruelling climb, as we were just a group of friends climbing when all the climbs in that area got cancelled because of the 2013 tragedy of Uttarakhand which affected parts of Himachal as well. Since we were young and crazy, we gave it a shot and were successful. Sometimes, life rewards you when you least expect it! The trek to the base of the mountain was in itself a treat as the route passes through many streams, pasture lands and a beautiful valley. People with little or no experience can also tread their way to the base at least.
What kind of preparation do you need to undertake for climbing Mount Everest? How gruelling is it?
Climbing Everest is a different game altogether. Personally, I believe climbing mountains has more to do with the strength of the mind than the body. Of course, a person needs to be in good physical shape to play any sport but climbing is so much more about will power, patience and perseverance. At an altitude as high as Everest, the body gives up long before the mind. And if someone's mind is not strong enough, he / she can probably never reach its summit. At high altitudes, it's not the body that pulls you up, it's your mind! Your meditative state is what keeps you going when every next step feels like a herculean task.
There are so many sports facilities in Delhi to train the body and keep you fit. Taking a 15-20 kg backpack and walking on the road for hours can help build endurance. Cycling, running and swimming are the best for cardio, and little bit of weight training in the gym with maximum reps can help strengthen muscles too.
Do you feel that professional mountaineering is gaining traction in Delhi?
Sport climbing is one of the shortlisted sports for 2020 Tokyo Olympics, so climbing is definitely becoming popular. I remember when I first scaled Mt. Elbrus in Russia, there were only about 5 - 7 who had done that from India. This year in August, I led a team to the same mountain and managed to put 10 people to the top in a single expedition. Also, the idea of travelling has changed now, especially amongst the younger lot. They want to explore and see unique places rather than to sit in a hotel in Paris and go for guided bus-tours.
Trekking is one of the new options available. Triund and Kheerganga are popular treks done over weekends away from Delhi. And if there's an extended trip on hand, then there are endless opportunities. With so much interest and growth in this sector, adventure travel is here to stay.
What are your favourite places for sports in Delhi?
People may often wonder, how one can train for mountaineering in the plains like Delhi, but there are no excuses if one is passionate. Dhauj, a popular rock climbing spot is where we climb over the weekends to hone our skills. Apart from this, I like to climb indoors at Delhi Rock in G.K. II. It's a great indoor facility and people keen to take a break from regular gym and learn something new while giving a boost to their fitness should really check this place out. In addition, I like to run and bicycle around India Gate.
Your most cherished moment on a trek?
I recall being part of an international climb with some Germans, Russians and Americans. We were near the summit ridge and just then the weather got bad, really bad. Winds picked up in a matter of seconds, temperatures dropped and it was completely white out, and it was just not possible to see 5 m ahead or behind me. I was scared as I couldn't see anyone in sight and from what I remembered, there was a drop on either side of the ridge. Since I didn't want to take a wrong step and fall into the abyss, I stayed there for about half an hour hoping someone would be coming my way. My body started to freeze and I was about to give up. In such moments, death seems so near. My whole life flashed right in front of my eyes. More than being scared of death, I was thanking god for giving me this life.
My fingers got numb and just then I saw a figure charging towards me. There was some sort of an energy that ran through my body as I saw him. He was equally rejoiced to see me as now we got some hope that we may just survive. Now when I look back, I narrate all this with a smile on my face. Mountains are great teachers, they introduce you to yourself. It is only moments like these when you start appreciating life and value each moment you live.
You also do a lot of campaigning on eradication and awareness on Hepatitis B. How did that happen?
Let me take you back into time, a few months ago when I was applying for a visa to Iran. The prerequisite was to get tested for a few medical tests amongst which were Hepatitis B & C. It was then that I was (wrongly) tested positive for Hep B with a count of 306, while a normal person's is less than 1. I was devastated and my entire world was shaking. During that hour-long drive back home from the lab, I kept wondering how my life would become worse in a matter of few months. I browsed as much as I could and the more I read, the scarier it became. This was a life-threatening virus! Here's the shocker - this virus can stay inside your body in an inactive state for about 20 years, and then suddenly pop out and you're gone!
I spoke with another doctor friend who suggested a list of confirmatory tests. I chose another lab this time around. To my surprise, I was tested negative, with count 0.41. It was such a relief! This whole episode lasted for about two weeks and I was glad I came out clean. Another good thing was that I came out better informed about the very prevalent virus.
I posted about this on Facebook to let people know and what followed was a call from a friend whose uncle was also tested positive and was never suggested for any confirmatory tests. He's been on medication for many months spending huge amount of money with the black cloud of uncertainty hovering over his head all time. Clearly, there was very little awareness in the society. It was then that I spoke with one the organisations which works in the healthcare sector. Having received their support, I was all geared to do my bit of work to create awareness as much as I could.
You're knee-deep (quite literally sometimes) in lots of adventure sports. Which adventure sport do you like the best?
Ha-ha. I am a curious person and would like to try everything coming my way. Apart from rock and mountain climbing, I did skydiving in Moscow recently. It was a unique experience, free-falling for 40 odd seconds, with freefalling at 180kmph and winds trying to cut across your face. I will soon go back to Moscow to get a licence to jump solo from heights. Aero sports are different from land based sport like climbing. One error in the air is enough to take your life, though on land we can still calculate the risk involved. Other than that, I am trying to manage time to do a skiing course in Gulmarg later this year.
Delhi is home, the best in the world. No matter how much i crib about Delhi, it's still makes me what I am today. Mountains are peaceful and quiet; Delhi is always bustling with some or the other thing. It's weird but I love the chaos of Delhi and I especially miss this when I am climbing. We are so rich culturally and otherwise, tons of opportunities and if someone wants to do something, Delhi will hardly lack in providing an opportunity - it's got everything.
Any advice you'd like to give to all the budding mountaineers out there?
Travelling or climbing looks like a dream job but there are many hidden facets to it. You have to slog a lot before tasting the rewards of it. I am still in the process. The adventure sector in India is not very organised and people with their conscious efforts are now trying to arrange it systematically and make it safe without losing the thrill. The number of travellers is growing every year and there is no dearth of opportunities here. India just hosted Paragliding world cup, so the world is watching us. If you're true to your passion and follow your heart honestly, you will most certainly wade your way out. Somehow we wait for too long for the right moment to come, but there's no such right moment..the right moment is right now! So throw off the bowline. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Denise + Thomas | Engagement Session Preview - LeahAndMark & Co.
This is Denise & Thomas. They found us through one of our write-ups on A Practical Wedding last year, and I'm photographing their wedding in a few months with Alumni Intern Jenna. This is also Newark, New Jersey. You know – except for the part where I had to spend the night in the Charlotte airport on the way back (because of a storm that caused me to miss a connection) – this trip was pretty awesome.
Oh. So, Denise and Thomas. Good sports. Well – Great sports. Especially considering that they did EVERYTHING I TOLD THEM TO DO!… No just kidding. Mostly – they were completely awesome when I got the crazy idea to go walk into the tall grass area of the swamps around Liberty State Park. It had just been raining all week in New Jersey so the mosquito population grew exponentially AND they were the size of my head. We stood out there exactly 7 minutes and then ran back to the car after Denise acquired 27 bug bites up and down her legs. Yeah.
One thing Newark has is an endless supply of industrial city-scapes to use as backdrops.
Pro Tip 2: When traveling to shoot – maybe you don't need to bring EVERYTHING just in case.
Pro Tip 3: Don't drink so much coffee. Okay, nevermind, drink All. You. Want.
Pro Tip 4: Some people quit while they're ahead. Others, just Turn. It. On.
Pro Tip 5: Number 4 wasn't really a tip, and I suppose neither is number 5.
The rest of this year is going to be a crazy fast whirlwind of crazy. Weddings every weekend, traveling across the country – and we're having a baby.
Ready? Yeah. Me neither. Let's. GO.


Home » IDEA Answers » What effects does Isogenixs have on the body. Positive and negative.
My partner and I are thinking if taking it for 30 days after great results from our friends. I am also breast feeding and trying for another baby so interested in short term and long term effects.
it is always tempting to take something which seem to create 'great results' in friends. Each body, however, has its own unique biochemistry, and I would strongly suggest that you discuss this with your physician. This is even more relevant as you are currently breast-feeding and could potentially pass those substances on to your infant.
The very fact that you are asking about effects both positive AND negative indicates to me that you have some doubts. Who knows; it may just be the greatest thing since sliced bread. If it is, I am sure your doctor will give you the green light. I would not take it on the advice of friends alone.
I agree with Karin. Consult your doctor about this, especially since you are breastfeeding. Just because it worked for your friends it doesn't mean it will do the same for you. Do some research on the company and on any studies that support their claims about their products. What you see it's not always what you get. My choice would be to follow a good healthy diet and slowly engage into a well-planned fitness program that will help you reach your goals and maintain them. Talking to a register dietitian for a more detailed plan and information on healthy diet plan might be a great idea. I know many people who have tried similar products and diets for 30 or 60 or 90 days and some got the results they wanted and others didn't. I prefer a slower and more methodical approach to reach a goal than a quick fix.
Which product/s are you referring to from the MLM Company Isasource?
I agree with Harris and Karin...consult your physician/OBGYN/nutrionalist/dietician before starting any supplement program.
Always consult your physician/OBGYN/nutrionalist/dietician before starting any supplement program.
I currently use products from Supplement RX, Dynamatize, and Advocare. Dynamatize has a really clean protein shake ISO 100 that you can usually pick up at a nutrition store. I use the Advocare sports line and I usually get good deals from supplement RX. Just do your research before picking a nutritional company. Remember, this is what is going in your body. Many supplements have had metals and arsenic in the past.
Personally I do not believe in "diets". I really don't believe in "cleansing" and it goes beyond the scope of most personal trainers to advocate or encourage such a plan.
Supplements are a personal choice. Do your research and talk to your medical doctor.
If everything was EZmode everyone would be thing with 6pack abs. Try working out.
What exactly do you mean by "great results" and what are the "great results"? Are the results proven, documented, etc.?
Everyone is different with their own goals and needs; so, please, talk to your doctor.
Diets are not my thing either; we stick with real whole foods.
What are the positive and negative effects that taking this detox has had on people.
My doctor and my personal trainer are also being questioned on their advice.
I need any personal information on those who have tried this detox.

OMB WON'T RELEASE ECONOMIC PLAN
The Office of Management and Budget is refusing to release the first phase of a five-year economic plan completed by a Washington consultant under a $600,000 Interior Department grant.
Wednesday's Independent quotes Judith Michael of OMB as saying of the report by Consultants for Resources Evaluation, or CORE, "That's a confidential document." The newspaper said Michael did not respond to its faxed list of questions about the plan.
A spokesman for the Interior Department also refused to release the plan, telling the Independent, "I don't think the Department of Interior should be commenting on a contract that the Virgin Islands government has selected."
Though Gov. Charles W. Turnbull made no reference to the CORE contract or report in his State of the Territory message when he said he plans to draft a five-year economic plan, Juel Molloy, his chief of staff, said Turnbull does intend to "look at all ideas on the table. I'm very confident that he will consider the recommendations of the group."
The Interior Department grant was intended to help the Virgin Islands develop a long-range plan to cut government spending and increase revenues. CORE has been working on the plan for about a year and a half, according to the Independent.

Holness addresses COVID vaccine criticisms, welcomes donation from India
Speaking today, Holness noted that the government has been careful on how it speaks on the issues surrounding the procurement of vaccines because of the bilateral and multilateral considerations that exist. (file photo)
Prime Minister Andrew Holness is again hitting back at critics of the Government's efforts to procure COVID-19 vaccines.
Holness today stressed that the Government has been using several avenues to procure doses, adding that it has been acting in the best interest of Jamaica.
"I've heard what the Opposition have said and I have heard what others have said. Much of what is being said is not accurate and can be misleading to the public," Holness said.
Opposition Leader Mark Golding went on the attack recently with a broadside against the Government, saying it has been grossly negligent in procuring COVID-19 vaccines for Jamaicans.
Speaking today, Holness noted that the government has been careful on how it speaks on the issues surrounding the procurement of vaccines because of the bilateral and multilateral considerations that exist.
"The work that goes on behind the scenes to get to this point, we don't bring it to the public, and because we don't, it leaves a gap for speculation. You would have heard things like 'the rest of the Caribbean is ahead of us' and 'they have done things that we haven't done.'..You would have seen a statement from CARICOM which explains our position because Jamaica is not the only country awaiting vaccines," Holness said.
He noted that there was a lot of "vaccine politics" at play.
"There is a situation now, where larger countries, more affluent countries are able to procure supplies. We are in the early phase of the production of the vaccine and therefore the demand for the vaccine far outstrips the existing supply,"
Today, the Indian High Commissioner to Jamaica His Excellency Ambassador Masakui Rungsung, announced that a donation of vaccines is set to arrive next week.
The Health and Wellness Ministry had previously stated that it expects to receive 50,000 doses of vaccines from India.
Rungsung noted that India has committed to providing 500,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccines to Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries and that Jamaica's share is ready to be shipped.
Holness expressed gratitude for the donation and said that Jamaica is looking ahead to its vaccination programme.
"We are making sure that the vaccines we have are approved by the World Health Organization…we are making sure that when the vaccines get here they can be distributed and administered very quickly so that there are no delays in storage and confusion about who should get. All of that work is being done."
"Your government is acting in your best interest," Holness said.
On Wednesday, Health Minister Dr Christopher Tufton stated that the vaccination storage facilities have been vetted and are ready.

I liked it and Alien Covenant.
Thanks I'll certainly look into that now.
I still have the Suzo Arcade stick for my Commodore 64/Amiga. That stick is built like a tank and has real arcade buttons which for the time, brought the 80's arcade experience a little closer to home when playing the likes of Bombjack, Commando and Green Beret.
The answer to why we like retro games.
Star Wars the 1983 arcade game. I had a feeling that the future of games could suddenly become very interesting if one day those wire framed vector graphics were filled with photo realistic textures.

When launching the game you'll get access to a menu allowing you to start a new game or load an existing one and to setup your preferences and graphical settings. Here's an overview of those options.
On the left you can set the resolution for the game. The higher it is, the slower it may be depending on your graphic card and overall system performance.
Windowed Mode: Allows you to toggle full-screen mode off/on.
Show FPS counter: In the bottom-left corner of the screen an approximation of the number of frames per seconds are displayed.
Disable Interpolation: May very slightly reduce the quality of the image in order to increase the FPS a bit.
Cap FPS to refresh rate: This is a top down 2D game, you surely don't need it to run at 200 FPS. Disabling this setting may render the user interface much less responsive.
Enable Bloom Shaders: If your computer supports the full hardware acceleration setting, this will improve the graphics noticeably by applying a slight shading effect. But it may not work properly on all available hardware.
Animated background stars: Amount of stars that are displayed in the background. Reducing thu number will improve performance on slower hardware.
Full Hardware Acceleration Switches between two rendering methods. Check the troubleshooting page for additional details.
Disable Sound This will completely disable the in-game music and sounds.
Sound Volume: Sets the volume of sound effects and the music.
The left panel allows you to change the default pre-set keys to your liking. Select the line you want to change and press the new key.
Invert Mouse Wheel Zoom: As the name implies this option is used to set the direction of the mouse wheel while zooming.
Show Help Tooltips: If checked, a tooltip will appear in the game when hovering the mouse over the buttons in the main menu bar. The tooltip shows the associated keyboard shortcut and an overview of the button's function.
Show targeting lines in sector map: If checked, the sector map mode shows red lines drawn between fighting ships and blue lines between ships that are flying together.
Debug: Enable Event Logging: If checked, the game will periodically save a log file in the "debug" folder. Check this if you are planning on reporting bugs on the forums.

Display tech to watch this year: OLED's future looks bright
The thin, bright, energy-efficient displays may outclass LCD and plasma TVs -- if manufacturers can scale up.
By Robert L. Mitchell
Editor's note: This is the conclusion to our four-part series on display technologies to watch in 2011.
If the screen on that sleek smartphone you just bought looks unusually bright and colorful, you might not be looking at an LCD at all. The displays in models such as the Samsung Galaxy S, the Google Nexus S and the HTC Droid Incredible rely on active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), an alternative display technology that's faster, thinner and lighter, offers more vivid colors at higher contrast, and uses as little as one quarter of the power consumed by your typical backlit, active-matrix LCD.
OLEDs have been around for more than a decade but have taken off only within last few years, and only for very small screens. Over 40 million active-matrix OLED phones shipped in 2010, and volumes will continue to increase this year, according to market research firm DisplaySearch.
Now the technology is getting ready to bust out of the mobile phone market and make its way into tablets, TVs and more -- provided manufacturers can reduce production costs for OLED displays, which are now significantly higher than for LCDs.
And OLEDs have another cool attribute: The display media can be constructed on a flexible substrate, such as plastic or bendable foil, rather than the breakable, rigid glass backing used in LCDs. That sets the stage for a new generation of even lighter and more rugged displays in the next few years -- and for curved, flexible, and even rollable displays down the road.
Note: For greater readability, we've shortened AMOLED (active-matrix OLED) to OLED throughout this story. Passive-matrix OLED (PMOLED) displays are not used in smart computing devices or high-performance screens.
Fast, bright and energy efficient
Today's commercially available active-matrix OLED displays are built on a version of the same electrical foundation as LCDs -- an active-matrix thin film transistor (TFT) array fabricated on glass, which drives the display media above it (see "The display sandwich").
But the layers of organic material that make up the OLED display media emit red, green and blue light, so no backlight is required, and the light doesn't have to pass through color filters, as it does with LCDs. That's what gives an OLED display its brilliance and energy-efficiency edge. (Story continues on next page)
The display sandwich
A flat display is a complicated sandwich of materials, says Nicholas Colaneri, director of the Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University. Take an LCD, for example. At the bottom is a substrate, usually glass, upon which manufacturers fabricate a layer of thin film transistors out of silicon. The transistors in the TFT layer power the liquid crystal display media layer above it.
The TFT layer activates the liquid crystal layer, "which acts like a venetian blind," Colaneri says. A backlight mounted behind the display sends light up through the liquid crystal and then through a color filter layer to produce the red, green and blue pixels that create the final image.
This display stack shows UDC's phosphorescent OLED technology, but the layers are basically the same for all active-matrix OLEDs. Source: UDC.
With an active-matrix OLED, manufacturers replace the liquid crystal and color filters with a series of four to seven layers of organic films sandwiched between two metal contacts. The films, mere thousandths of an angstrom thick, are a fraction of the size of the liquid crystals in an LCD.
The TFT layer applies the voltage to power the OLED layers. "When you push current through that stack, light comes out of it," says Colaneri. So while the OLED stack still needs a TFT layer to make it work, the display sandwich can dispense with the backlight and color filter layers.

Peyton Manning is back in the playoffs, look out NFL! Or don't. Three of the last four times Manning has been in the playoffs he's lost his first game, with two of those losses coming at home. So perhaps the rest of the league shouldn't look out, they should look in. The secret to conquering Peyton can only be found within oneself. However, if the Ravens don't have time for self reflection they can just heed this advice: make him throw lots of interceptions. Like at least five, ten plus if possible. If that's not possible then Baltimore could struggle. The Ravens D looked strong last week against Indianapolis, but the Colts and the Broncos are completely different animals. Well, not really, they're both horses. But I think you get my point, and that point is that colts and broncos are actually two very similar animals while the Colts and Broncos are not. You're following this right? I think Denver will have enough firepower to handle Baltimore, even if it doesn't turn out to be as lopsided as when these teams met in Week 15.
It's a rematch of Week 1 when the 49ers prevailed in Green Bay. A lot has changed since then. For instance, I started using an exercise ball for all of my sitting situations and my core has responded in kind. But enough about my newly shredded physique and improved balance, these teams have come a long way too. The Packers have dealt with injuries all year but are finally rounding into form, much like their coach who rounded into form years ago and has stayed round ever since. Meanwhile, the Niners have a new starting quarterback who hasn't let the luster of his new spot on the depth chart give him a big head; I mean just look at that thing, his hat size is probably 6 & 1/4. But for however many ups and downs these squads may have gone through this season they find themselves right back where they started. I see this one being closer than their first meeting, in fact, it will be closer than any playoff game ever, or at least tie for that honor.
Matt Ryan has had a solid career so far. In his five seasons the Falcons have amassed a 56-24 record while he's thrown for nearly 19,000 yards and 127 touchdowns. There's no debating that those are solid numbers. Still, Russell Wilson has one more playoff win than he does. Ryan and the rest of the Falcons will have the weight of their past playoff failures on their shoulders Sunday, meaning that the Hawks won't need Chris Clemons to put pressure on the QB, the city of Atlanta will already be doing that. The loss of Clemons thrusts Bruce Irvin into the spotlight, which is fine because a spotlight and a searchlight are very similar, and the rookie pass rusher has some experience with the latter. A big performance from Irvin would be a bonus for the Seahawks, but the real key to the game, is their backfields, both offensive and defensive. A shutdown performance from the secondary coupled with a stampede from Russell and the Beast will propel the Hawks.
The Texans have become very bland. At this point everybody would appreciate it if they just left quietly, which I'm guessing is the same way everybody whose ever hung out with Matt Schaub feels. Seriously, look at this dork. It's an interesting juxtaposition with Tom Brady as his counterpart in this contest, because, as well know, Brady is the coolest guy ever. It's well documented (in several books) that the Patriots crushed the Texans 42-14 in Week 14. I expect Houston to put up a better effort in this one, I mean, with this guy rallying the troops how could they not lay it all on the line? However, even a much better effort still wouldn't be enough.
