Features fossilized cocoa leaves that are hand placed on a standard UL lamp backing and then laminated using a non-toxic adhesive, creating each of the four sides of the lamp. The panels are hand-stitched onto a powder coated, wrought iron frame, to form a slightly curved design. The corners of the lamp are accented with renewable abaca rope which is woven around the metal framing.
We highly recommend using LED or CFL bulbs with this lamp. 400 to 800 lumens per bulb in soft white light is suggested. CFL or LED bulbs will provide the same amount of light but use less wattage and produce less heat as compared to a standard incandescent bulb. The lower heat will help ensure the longevity of the lamp .


What a wonderful time the sisters had when employees of Simmons Bank visited the infirmary yesterday for United Way's "Day of Caring." They enjoyed the delicious trays of fruit, the warm company, and the rousing sing-a-long led by Kelton, who thrills us all each year with his beautiful tenor voice. Using the words of our late mayor, Ray Baker, a wonderful friend to the sisters of St. Scholastica, these Simmons employees make "life worth living in Fort Smith, Arkansas :)" May God bless them for their volunteerism.


This is what Christian community should look like, yes? People filled with the Spirit, working together, giving to one another, providing for those in need, worshiping privately and corporately. This is the picture we all long for in the many of churches around the world.
But there are many expressions of what the Church should look like according to all of our denominations and non-denominations. And the problem that keeps creeping up within congregations is the idea that today's text is to give us a model or a formula for what we should or shouldn't be doing. But that's not right.
What this text gives us is a revelation. It reveals to us that what we need in each of our churches, in each of our families, and in each of our individual hearts is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit! We're not to be about the business of what we should be doing, but only about the business of what God is doing. We're not looking for the right way to do church. We're looking to be given over to, guided by, and grounded in the Holy Spirit of God.
We do a terrible job sometimes talking about the Holy Spirit in the church. We think that the Holy Spirit is some sort of confidence or gasoline in our faith-tank. But that's not right. The Holy Spirit is God Himself! God is giving us Himself, to come and live within, to mend broken hearts, to restore troubled minds, to raise up our dead parts. God desires that we should live WITH His presence and IN His power at all times.
Living with the presence of God means that we have what we need at all times and in all places. It means that when you are down, scared, worried, or lost, you are not alone and you are not ill-equipped. You have God with you. And tapping into that boundless well of resources depends upon whether or not you are willing to engage in real worship. Will you pray, will you read His word, will you include Him in all the areas of depression, fear, anxiety, and confusion?
Oh, to worship God is to "lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1 ESV). To worship God is to hate "what is evil," and "hold fast to what is good" (Romans 12:9 ESV). To receive and use the presence of God is to "Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth" (Colossians 3:2 ESV). And we do these things, why? Because "With God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26 ESV). And God is seeking to be present with you, so that His power can be unleashed on the world.
Living in the power of God is to claim His presence and His promises in your daily life. To reach out in faith and participate in that presence is to let God use the broken vessel that you are for His holy and redeeming work. For, God "is the one who gives power and strength to His people." (Psalm 68:35 ESV). And we are called by God to do His powerful work in the world; we are sent as His messengers, just as the apostles, having the same Spirit. It was Peter who said, "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him" (Acts 10:38 ESV). And so God is with us, wanting to use YOU to be a display of His power in the world.
God's powerful redeeming work is the only power that can turn people from their sins, free them from shame and guilt, and renew their minds for godly work. Living with God's power means that as you light up with His presence, others see you as a light house high above the raging sea of life. The presence of God fills you, his vessel, and His power shines forth, cutting through the fog of sin and death and lighting up the way for safe passage into the harbor of God's love.
This is what a resurrection life looks like: a life that is filled with His Spirit and moved by His power. And the early apostles, disciples, and converts were only the beginning what God desires to do. It is our job to receive His invitation to be whole, to beg Him for His presence, and then to have God unleash His transforming power through our willingness to be used by Him.
Will you receive the Spirit of God? Will some of you today receive His Spirit for your salvation? Will some of you today receive His Spirit for your healing? Will some of you receive His Spirit for your equipping, for ministry in the world? There are many of you who need to come talk. Some of us need to take a walk together. Will you come? Will you walk with His presence? Will you walk in His power?


Most modern SSDs include onboard DRAM, typically in a ratio of 1GB RAM per 1TB of NAND flash memory. This RAM is usually dedicated to tracking where each logical block address is physically stored on the NAND flash—information that changes with every write operation due to the wear leveling that flash memory requires. This information must also be consulted in order to complete any read operation. The standard DRAM to NAND ratio provides enough RAM for the SSD controller to use a simple and fast lookup table instead of more complicated data structures. This greatly reduces the work the SSD controller needs to do to handle IO operations, and is key to offering consistent performance.
SSDs that omit this DRAM can be cheaper and smaller, but because they can only store their mapping tables in the flash memory instead of much faster DRAM, there's a substantial performance penalty. In the worst case, read latency is doubled as potentially every read request from the host first requires a NAND flash read to look up the logical to physical address mapping, then a second read to actually fetch the requested data.
Caching is of course one of the most famously difficult problems in computer science and none of the SSD controller vendors are eager to share exactly how their HMB-enabled controllers and firmware use the host DRAM they are given, but it's safe to assume the caching strategies focus on retaining the most recently and heavily used mapping information. Areas of the drive that are accessed repeatedly will have read latencies similar to that of mainstream drives, while data that hasn't been touched in a while will be accessed with performance resembling that of traditional DRAMless SSDs.
SSD controllers do have some memory built in to the controller itself, but usually not enough to allow a significant portion of NAND mapping tables to be cached. For example, the Marvell 88SS1093 Eldora high-end NVMe SSD controller has numerous on-chip buffers with capacities in the kilobyte range and aggregate capacity of less than 1MB. Some SSD vendors have hinted that their controllers have significantly more on-board memory—Western Digital says this is why their SN520 NVMe SSD doesn't use HMB, but they declined to say how much memory is on that controller. We've also seen some other drives in recent years that don't fall clearly into the DRAMless category or the 1GB per TB ratio. The Toshiba OCZ VX500 uses a 256MB DRAM part for the 1TB model, but the smaller capacity drives rely just on the memory built in to the controller (and of course, Toshiba didn't disclose the details of that controller architecture).
The Toshiba RC100 requests a block of 38 MB of host DRAM from the operating system. The OS could provide more or less than the drive's preferred amount, and if the RC100 gets less than 10MB it will give up on trying to use HMB at all. Both the Linux and Windows NMVe drivers expose some settings for the HMB feature, allowing us to test the RC100 with HMB enabled and disabled. In theory, we could also test with varying amounts of host memory allocated to the SSD, but that would be a fairly time-consuming exercise and would not reflect any real-world use cases, because the driver settings in question are so obscure and not worth changing from their defaults.
We can see the effects of the HMB cache quite clearly by measuring random read performance while increasing the test's working set—the amount of data that's actively being accessed. When all of the random reads are coming from the same 1GB range, the RC100 performs much better than when the random reads span the entire drive. There's a sharp drop in performance when the working set approaches 32GB. When the RC100 is tested with HMB off, performance is just as good for a 1GB working set (and actually substantially better on the 480GB model), but larger working sets are almost as slow as the full-span random reads. It looks like the RC100's controller may have about 1MB of built-in memory that is much faster than accessing host DRAM over the PCIe link.
Most mainstream SSDs offer nearly the same random read performance regardless of the working set size, though performance through this test varies some due to other factors (eg. thermal throttling). The drives using the Phison E7 and E8 NVMe controllers are a notable exception, with significant performance falloff as the working set grows, despite these drives being equipped with ample onboard DRAM.
I'm not sure how interest explains why you've reviewed this two days after it shipped but 7 weeks after you posted the 970 Evo review, there is no 970 pro review. Every other inferior review website posted the pro and evo reviews simultaneously, so Samsung must have sent you both drives around the same time.
They're usually very late with most reviews. Except Intel ones.
You already know a bazillion other sources for a 970 Evo review, so you're beating this guy up for being different? He says doing this review is more interesting for him, so no wonder he did it.
I was saying every other review site was inferior, yet they posted 970 PRO reviews the same time as 970 EVO reviews. My issue with Anandtech was the sole posting of the 970 EVO review and no 970 PRO review now for over 7 weeks.

Chess is a musical with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, formerly of ABBA. The story involves a romantic triangle between two top players, an American and a Russian, in a world chess championship, and a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other; all in the context of a Cold War struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union, during which both countries wanted to win international chess tournaments for propaganda purposes.
Released around the same time and with many similarities to Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, the first theatrical production of Chess opened in London's West End in 1986 and played for three years. A much-altered US version premiered on Broadway in 1988, but suffered from these changes to give a shorter run. Chess is frequently revised for new productions, many of which try to merge elements from both the London and Broadway versions; however, no major revival production of the musical has yet been attempted either on West End or Broadway, although the Albert Hall recently played to sell-out audiences for a concert version starring such leading names as Idina Menzel, Josh Groban, Adam Pascal and Marti Pellow.
Chess came seventh in a BBC Radio 2 listener poll of the United Kingdom's Number One Essential Musicals.

Waldorf University softball players Briley Sullivan, Kaylie Brindley and Hattie Hupke closed out the season with Daktronics-National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Scholar-Athlete honors, which was announced by the NAIA on Wednesday.
It marked the first year for the three Warrior players to earn the national academic recognition.
The NAIA Scholar-Athlete program honors excellence in the classroom by NAIA-member student-athletes who are juniors or seniors in academic standing with a minimum 3.50 cumulative grade point average. Student-athletes must have attended their current institution for two full years as a non-transfer student or one full year as a transfer in order to qualify for the recognition.


The new rules announced December 22 would replace pay-as-you-go with a much weaker, one-sided "cut-as-you-go" rule, under which increases in mandatory spending would still have to be paid for but tax cuts would not.
In addition, increases in mandatory spending could be offset only by reductions in other mandatory spending, not by any measure to raise revenues such as by closing unproductive special-interest tax loopholes. For example, the House would be barred from paying for continuation of a provision enacted in 2009 (and extended in the just-enacted tax compromise) that enables many minimum-wage families to receive a full, rather than a partial, Child Tax Credit by closing wasteful tax breaks for multinational corporations that shelter profits overseas. . . . Yet the same new rules would enable the House to expand tax loopholes for multinational corporations and wealthy investors without paying for those tax breaks at all, because any tax cut, no matter how costly or ill-advised, could now be deficit financed.
The new rules would stand the reconciliation process on its head, by allowing the House to use reconciliation to push through bills that greatly increase deficits as long as the deficit increases result from tax cuts, while barring the use of reconciliation in the House for legislation that reduces the deficit if that legislation contains a net increase in spending (no matter how small) that is more than offset by revenue-raising provisions.
As the report notes, we've been here before. In the 1990s, when pay-as-you-go rules applied to tax cuts as well as spending increases and Congress used reconciliation solely to reduce deficits, the country went from large deficits to a balanced budget. (A strong economy obviously helped as well.) But in the early 2000s, Congress set aside pay-as-you-go and used reconciliation to push through costly, unpaid-for tax cuts that contributed heavily to the return of large deficits after 2001. Now, House Republicans plan to restore the very type of permissive budget rules that caused much of the budgetary deterioration we've seen over the past decade.


Bilinguals coactivate both languages when reading text in a single language, evidenced by words that share lexical overlap across languages. For example, eye-movement measures have shown that cognates, which share form and meaning across languages (e.g., piano in English and French), result in facilitation relative to language-unique words, whereas interlingual homographs, which share form but not meaning (e.g., chat is a casual conversation in English vs. a cat in French), result in interference. Yet, the magnitude of these cross-language effects varies across individuals as a function of language background and executive control abilities. Bilinguals with higher second-language proficiency experience less cognate facilitation, and bilinguals with higher executive control abilities experience less homograph interference, suggesting that independent mechanisms are responsible for language control depending on the type of coactivation (Pivneva, et al., 2014). Neurocognitive research employing resting state functional connectivity analysis has identified at least eight independent brain networks composed of areas that show synchronous temporal activity. At a broad level, these include the visual, language, sensorimotor, default mode, salience, frontoparietal control, dorsal attention, and cerebellar networks. Connectivity within these networks is observable even when the brain is at rest (Lee, et al, 2013). Importantly, networks involved in executive control (salience, frontoparietal, and dorsal attention) also play important roles in bilingualism (Kousaie et al., 2017) and are assumed to be highly integrated with the language network for bilinguals (Abutalebi & Green, 2016). To date, no studies have combined these two threads of research to investigate how cross-language activation during bilingual reading maps onto connectivity within resting state networks. Here, we report data from 27 French-English bilinguals who read English sentences containing target French-English cognate, interlingual homograph, and control words while their eye-movements were monitored. In another session, the participants underwent a resting state fMRI scan. In a preliminary analysis, we extracted coarse reading measures (total reading time) for target words and computed difference scores for cognate facilitation and homograph interference. With connectivity data, we conducted an independent component analysis and used spatial mapping to identify likely networks for each component (Calhoun et al., 2001). We then associated the coactivation effects with the connectivity within each network in a second-level analysis. Preliminary results showed that both types of coactivation were related to connectivity in the frontoparietal control network with similar patterns. Facilitation (irrespective of cognates or homographs) was associated with greater connectivity within this network and inhibition was associated with less. These preliminary results suggest a general entrainment between the magnitude of cross-language activation, irrespective of word type, and connectivity within the frontoparietal control network at an individual level. They also support neurocognitive models of bilingualism which predict that language and cognitive systems are highly integrated (Abutalebi & Green, 2016). Future analyses will involve eye-tracking measures that are more sensitive earlier stages of lexical processing (e.g., first fixation and gaze duration) vs. the late stage measure used here (total reading time), as previous studies have shown differences between the two stages in terms resolution of language coactivation.


The State of Utah has permitted the Utah Highway Patrol Association to erect twelve-foot-tall Latin crosses on state-owned land to memorialize and honor state troopers who have died in the line of duty. The crosses, which bear the UHPA logo and a plaque with the fallen trooper's photo and biography, have been placed along state highways, near where the troopers died. In December 2005, American Atheists sued in federal district court, claiming that the State violated the Establishment Clause of the federal and state constitutions by allowing UHPA to erect the crosses. UHPA intervened as a defendant in the case. In November 2007, the court granted summary judgment in favor of the State, concluding that there was no Establishment Clause violation because the State's conduct had neither the purpose nor the effect of conveying a message that it preferred religion or a particular religious belief. Underlying the court's conclusion were its determinations that the State's allowing the UHPA to erect the crosses could have had an exclusively secular purpose — honoring the fallen troopers — and that to a reasonable observer the crosses were merely a "secular symbol of death," not a religious symbol. American Atheists appealed the court's ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
On August 6, 2008, Americans United and coalition partners representing majority and minority faiths filed an amicus brief with the Tenth Circuit. The brief argued that the Latin cross has long been, and remains today, the preeminent symbol of Christianity, and that using the cross as a burial marker does not transform it into a secular symbol. The brief further argued that for a court to allow cross displays by labeling the cross as a secular symbol is offensive to Christians and non-Christians alike, and is corrosive to the values underlying the Establishment Clause.


According to member of Mazhilis, Sauytbek Abdrakhmanov, Kazakhstan is continuing discussion on the transition to the Latin script. He says that the transition of the Kazakh language from Cyrillic to Latin is a very important step. The decision is up to date and owing to which Kazakhtan opens new horizons, says member of Mazhilis.
- This initiative proves that the President's policy is aimed at development of people and the country as a whole. The new version is much better. Now there is a large amount of work on the gradual transition to Latin.
The gradual introduction of the new alphabet will be implemented in all areas. Linguists claim that Kazakhs will easily master the new script. In addition, the approved Kazakh alphabet of 32 characters in Latin will give a new impetus to further development.
- Linguists should coordinate the concept of the transition to Latin. In addition, the courses should be organized to study Kazakh based on the Latin script. Of course, it is impossible to carry out such work in a short time but the first steps must be taken. This can help media and in my opinion, we should use the possibilities of outdoor advertising. This will allow people of Kazakhstan to adapt quickly.


I find myself at a crossroads and very unsure of what direction to take. I have worked in several areas of our field,(ie Family & Children services, group home, respite, etc) and most recent a school board. I've stuck it out with the school board for six years, and yet find myself still very unhappy with the position. I am presently on maternity leave and I was really hoping to be rejuvenated, get motivated and be more optimistic about going back. I have found the complete opposite. I now feel I would like to do something on my own, in a position where I can really push to be an advocate for children, help parents who struggle with their children, and be a voice. I can't do that where I am.
I'm at a loss though of where to go and what to do. Do I go back to school and pick something up, do I go out on my own, do I change professions? What credentials should I have if I try on my own? UGH I don't know, all I know is I am really unhappy with where I am right now. As far as my own schooling I have my American Sign Language Interpreter, ECE, and of course my CYW.
I look to you, my colleagues, who know what this field is about and why we are committed to it. I just need help on where and what I can do. What more is out there for us, waiting for us to pick up and run with? I want a position where my input counts, I'm encouraged to speak vs, "just do it our way" and not share the same wanted outcome.
I value all input, please help.
My main thing I would say is to follow your heart, do what you feel passionate about. If being an advocate is something you are passionate about, why don't you investigate about potential type of advocate jobs in where you live? You say you have your ASL interpreting, how about integrating all you have learned and create a role that seems more fitting for you- perhaps working with Deaf individuals? I know that as a fact, there are a lack of good role models for Deaf individuals all over the place. Perhaps you can be a part of the ripple effect. I am wondering where do you live exactly? Perhaps telling us where you live will help us get ideas and such.
I can relate to you about being rejuvenated, although I admit it is sort of for a different reason... I am Deaf myself and I went through 4 years of degree program in Bachelor of Child and Youth Care and I was passionate with what I believe in, and passionate about creating a ripple effect in my profession because I have experienced and seen so many struggles Deaf child, youth and families experience through the system and they 99 percent of the time fall through the cracks. Although, in the middle of my degree program I noticed my passion changed- mainly because of how I was treated as a Deaf individual, frustrations with a job, and finding that I am not really enjoying my practicums and the classes.
I decided it was time to follow my heart and do what I have always wanted to do, I am currently at Gallaudet University starting first time ever on January 18 and I am super excited because I now know it IS something I am passionate about because with my Psychology degree I can create more effects of change- it is truly sad that a position of power actually has a difference in how or what type of changes you could make.
Follow your heart, you have a variety of education, why not combine them all and do something you are passionate about? You can always create your 'role' as an advocate and meet with different agencies in your town/city and present yourself. You'd be surprised how many agencies would be onboard with it especially if you show your Practice. I was taught from a very good former professor of mine- "OWNING YOUR OWN PRACTICE", which means we need to stick with what we believe in, and be passionate about and show it to the world. Our own practice tend to eventually be lost and change into the older CYC, or agencies' mandates, milieu, etc. Be a part of the ripple effect we all are trying to create in this profession, own your own practice and present yourself as an advocate, or whatever you believe in and go to agencies and show what you believe in and what you are passionate about.
I wish you good luck! Let us know how it goes.
I understand your conflict so well. I left the school board to return to graduate school because I was so frustrated with how limited my role was, this in turn limited my ability to support the youth and their families. In fact, my role as educational assistant was either under-appreciated or I was expected to perform the impossible, with shrinking supports and resources. I've been told by some students on placement from my current MSW program, completing placements in schools, that it can be equally challenging to support the children and youth within the school system in this role because there is usually only 1 social worker covering at least 8-10 schools! I too need to think about where I want to focus my energies as I prepare to graduate because I too value my contributions and what to create meaningful work that makes a difference in the lives of my clients.
I am just completing my MSW in central Canada after working as an educational assistant for the school board for 4.5 years. I also worked as a children' advocate in a woman's shelter for 4 years and a drop in centre of at risk, transient and street identified youth for close to 5 years, with an 8 year break to support our 2 children. My undergraduate degree was in Child Studies which has since been renamed, Applied Arts in Child and Youth Services degree and I graduated from this program 20 years ago in eastern Canada. My focus for my entire career has been supporting children and youth and their families. When I started my career in child protection, I was hired to work on a prevention project that was focused on preventing family breakdown and crisis, (which I'm sure you know, often results in children entering into foster care), by providing supports to families and children, (1:1 workers assigned to a family, in addition to their CAS worker). These were collaborative efforts and the assessments that determined our involvement, grew from collaborative efforts from family, school, public health, CAS etc. I would liken it to what's now commonly referred to as the "Wrap Around Program" This position did not get renewed funding (as we all know prevention is not readily funded and now even essential services are often at risk) so I relocated to central Canada to pursue my graduate studies in social work. I took 8 years off when our 2 girls were born as I felt I wanted to give that to my children. That was a difficult decision to remove myself from the career trajectory, however, I have no regrets despite the financial challenges it created at times. So 20 years later...I will graduate in June 2011 with my MSW in clinical social work.
If it's of any help or comfort to you, please know that there are work environments that do value what you have to contribute, however, it will be necessary for you to be clear about what you need and the compromises you're willing to make, when choosing your work place...as there will always be greater or lesser gains and losses, good supervisors, supportive co-workers or not. I think that your desire to participate in meaningful work with children and youth is a good indication of your commitment and sincere desire to make a difference.
My last supervisor taught me a valuable lesson with regard to claiming our own professional and personal power, to create the kind of relationships that demonstrate the scope of our practice and our commitment to our clients. There will always be challenges when negotiating these relationships and it may take some time before people will understand how you wish to conduct yourself professionally and where your commitments start and finish, however, over time, it will become clear to others how you work as a professional. If you have some supportive co-workers or a supervisor who may be willing to meet with you to discuss your challenges with returning to your current position, that may be worth some consideration.
tide in your current situation.
It sounds like your have access to many children and families who need your support and certainly you can demonstrate your level of commitment, however, it's trying to create the circumstances to make this work for you and your clients. If you are feel limited in the scope of your practice and can see no willingness from your supervisors to support your efforts to create something more meaningful, then you have no alternative but to consider a move, for your own personal and professional well being. It's been my experience that it's always better to look for other positions while employed and there may be positions within the school board that better suit your needs.
I hope you have time to reflect on your strengths and your desire to move towards new, meaningful challenges...there is always a risk involved...and the "moment of absolute certainty seldom arrives" but think about the possibilities!
It's fairly common and healthy to want some change that will better suit what you are looking for! Kudos to you for recognizing these feelings and pursuing something else. Where do you live?
It sounds like you are at an interesting cross roads and I have to say I can't help but get an adrenaline rush just thinking about your story. Here you have a chance at change and transformation! A new journey! With that said, I can also see how this could be an overwhelming and frustrating place to be.
I thought about the choices you presented such as going back to school, changing your job, or starting something up on your own all of which are such great options. I think seeking out feedback from others is a super way to juggle out all the possibilities. Something that I do that helps me in transitions such as this is exposing myself to new, refreshing and positive material. Sark is an author of an incredible array of books on topics such as pleasure (Eating Mangos Naked is the title of one of her books on pleasure). They are written in lots of colour and illustrations by Sark herself. Her books are all about being creative in and with life. Why I suggests this is because it is something that has worked for me, I have found that by exposing myself to a refreshing perspective about life I was able to let my own creativity flow. Reading her books has altered my way of looking at the world in a time when i needed a new lens to look through. I found by adopting and seeking out a new perspective opportunities opened up right before me, including insight into my own great capacity to play an equal part in seeking out and making pleasure be a part of my everyday life, as Sark states "we can find pleasure everywhere". Reflecting on my own experiences I discovered how little recognition I paid to how I was looking at the world, or dealing with negative situations that seemed unable to change. For example dealing with someone negative in my life was draining and created a buildup of negativity, but a very insightful life coach gave me great advice when he gave me the assignment of looking at this person through a lens of love and compassion and to send this person love in my mind. He also told me how taking everything personally in turn validated the things this person had said about me, made me feel, and how I was being treated. This was an eye opener!
So this might sound backwards but I say this with lots of joy and good intentions, congratulations on this new adventure, this is an opportunity for you and it sounds to me like you are on the right track to discovering what it is you would like to do, your passion.
With the intro of full day kindergarten, school boards now employ ECE's. You may enjoy this position more at this point in your life. Perhaps you may want to consider a different type of position with your board. Probably not helpful but just a thought.
The best advice that I can give to you is to go where your heart takes you.
If you choose to go back to a job, that you have tried and you know it does not make you happy, then ask you, what are you doing for yourself?? You should take a leap and find what makes yourself happy. You should enjoy going to work, find some comfort in it, be proud of what you do! You certainly have some impressive education, is there something that you have tried and truly enjoyed?? Get out there and follow your heart, spread your wings and love what you do!!
Check out Neighbourhood Houses. They existed in Victoria BC when I was doing practicums back in the day.
So I am just throwing this out there ... but ... you have amazing goals and huge dreams! If you see it and don't follow it, then who will. At some point we need to put ourselves out there, start it and see where it takes us. I understand that you have 2 small children and that should always be your first priority. But, couldn't you do both??
You could put it all on paper, explain what you are offering and how youth and their families can benefit. Write it out and then ask your self ... doesn't my community deserve this??
I live in Moncton and I just recently learned of a meeting that is held quite frequently. I think the group is called Enterprise Moncton. You bring your business plan and they help you with the rest. The provide tons of information to individuals who want to start their own business. Best part ... its free!! They have actually sponsored some people with starting their business.
All I am saying is don't give up, even if it takes a few years or you wait until your children are older, follow your dreams. One day, you will find that some dreams do come true!!


Recent OSINT reports indicate Al Shabaab turning on recruiting young boys and street children into the terror group as society tightens war on terror in all capacities.
Anti-terror police unit in Mombasa on 23rd June 2015 said they are holding Salim Mohammed Wambwilwe, a Muslim cleric suspected to be recruiting primary school pupils into the Al Shabaab terror group.
On 16th June 2015, OSINT reported the arrest of a student at St Ignatius Mukumu Boys' High School in Kakamega on terrorism charges.
11th June 2015, intelligence sources revealed that Al shabaab were recruiting street boys into the terror group.
ATPU have confiscated Salim Mohammed's mobile phone for an analysis that would lead to further arrests and to investigate if the accused had connections to the terror groups within and outside Kenya.
Why target young boys and street children?
The Kenyan amnesty to radicalized youth dealt the Al Shabaab terror group a huge blow. They badly need new energy in the group in order to remain relevant.
The terror group also is suffering lack of resources and cannot make it to invest on new recruits. They thus find refuge in street children.
And the likes of Duale would want the whole world to believe Islam is not responsible for terrorism!!! the imam is a Muslim and not a Christian, neither is he a Jew. Hii dini iharamishwe ulimwenguni.
And whom do you propose to Haramisha Islam?
I think Islam has been hijacked by the idea that all Muslims are terrorists; that Islam is about hate, about war, about jihad – I think that hijacks the spirituality and beauty that exists within Islam. I believe in allowing Islam to be seen in context and in its entirety and being judged on what it really is, not what you think it is.

Dating pictures through fashion part 2 . 1910 - 1940s
by Veronica
We finished up in 1918 so it's useful to revise this decade briefly in order to see the changes that were taking place and moving on to later 20th Century.
I want to continue to the 1940s, partly because to me it would be difficult to equal the glamour of 1930s and 1940s wartime elegance when women did a truly remarkable job of looking super elegant in difficult circumstances.
I do not think any clothes after 1960 compare with past fashions. Where did the style and fashion sense go after 1960?

Revision from early 20th Century
White blouses continued to be popular and skirts named hobble skirts were introduced. They were very straight and narrow at the hem and the name was coined because of how women had to walk when wearing them. A large tunic was worn over the hobble skirt. This fashion was very popular.
Because of war work, styles became more practical during The Great War of 1914 – 1918 and at times women were wearing trousers, especially when cycling. By the end of the decade, they were starting to cut their long hair and wear it in a "bob".
Men wore a three-piece suit or military uniform. They had moustaches or were clean-shaven.
Women's hemlines were rising from approx 1913.
late 19th early 20th C
Suffragettes
Suffragettes had a major effect on women's fashion. The movement started in the early 20th Century. Separates became popular with women wearing a white blouse and a skirt. Suffragettes frequently travelled around on bicycles and so fashion had to change!
The drawings above are of 1920 and 1927 clothes.
From about 1920, it was fashionable for women to have a dropped waistline and an androgynous- rather male – straight look to cover up and hide the female shape. Skirt lengths were often pleated, (see above) and raised to knee level for young ladies whilst older ladies wore dresses to calf level. Fur trimmed clothes were becoming fashionable. This was also the decade when cloche (bell shaped) hats and long beads were hugely popular.
Later in the decade, men's shirts had a pointed collar as opposed to round. Rounded collars have never really regained their popularity. See the difference in collars (above) at the start and end of the decade. Flat caps were popular amongst the working class. Trilbies worn by the middle classes.
My fav time for fashion
The dropped-waist lines and straight "male" looks of the 1920s were replaced with ultra-femininity and attention to a sexy, female shape and form. Knee-length skirt suits, shoulder pads, fur and ornate hats were worn at an angle were all the rage. Clingy, long, evening gowns, were popular. 1932 saw the pantsuit for women, which was considered by many to be outrageous.
For men, the waistcoat fell out of fashion and they wore three-piece suits for formal occasions. Slipovers, cardigans, jumpers, and soft collared, open-neck shirts were popular for casual wear. The future uncrowned King Edward 8th, Prince of Wales, made jumpers and cardigans fashionable. Wide trousers with turn-ups were popular.
Just as in the Napoleonic wars, WW2 brought about a cloth shortage. Fashions were sparse using a minimum of fabric. Skirt suits were fashionable with a straight skirt and jacket. Shoulder pads made their appearance again. Hemlines rose to the knee because of the shortage of cloth. Also because of the scarcity of cloth, accessories – hats, bags and shoes - were extra important. After the War in 1947, Christian Dior introduced his 'New Look" Skirts were wide, full and longer. Wide, saucer hats were fashionable. Knitted cardigans were a popular item.
During the war, men wore military uniform. Hair was a short back and sides, and men were usually clean-shaven. Civilian clothing for men was a lounge suit with broad shoulders, with wide trousers. After WW2 ended, men leaving the armed forces were given a 'de-mob' suit, - jacket and trousers, shirt and tie. Turn ups remained popular.
I hope you find these hints useful in your researching old pictures and photos.

Hemlines rose as women were needed to do men's jobs just before and during World War 1 . Long skirts were unmanageable. Plus Suffragettes were riding bikes !
It appears that materials are lighter-weight as the 20th century progresses. If so, does that make it more likely that hemlines will rise or, without hem weights, less likely because of what may be exposed under billowing skirts in blustery weather?
BSG!
That is a fab idea. I feel a bit of research coming on. THANK YOU !

The 1900s would be easier than the older periods, since more people have photo albums of the century.s ancestors. And more movies depicting the garb f the day have been made. Perhaps an interesting extension is to look at futuristic movies and see how well the guessed garb was to what really came about, like Back to the Future.
The tunic was like an over big , long T shirt
Veronica, Thank you for practical information, pretty pictures and product lines.
It's interesting that somewhat counterproductive styles were so popular during the 1910a. The hobble skirt meant having to walk in a slow, uncomfortable way. The tunic meant weighting down by extra weight. The white shirt meant knowing how to keep it clean while wearing it and wash, dry and iron it properly so it always would look pristine white!
Was the tunic a wrap that its wearer constantly had to guard against losing? Or was it fastened in some way?

Lego to release Joker Mansion set
Set to be released in late November at a cost of $270, the new Lego Joker mansion is available for pre-order, according to The Verge. The Lego set is a replica of the Joker's mansion from "The LEGO Batman Movie."
During the 85 years the company has been around, Lego sets have ranged from small challenges with as few as 10 pieces, to much bigger challenges, including the yet-to-be-released Millennium Falcon model, which will have 7,500 pieces.
This new Joker Mansion set contains an "utterly bonkers" 3,444 pieces, according to Fatherly.com. The set includes a lot of rooms: a screening room, a kitchen, a huge living room with a fireplace (including wood and fire pieces), a grand piano, a swimming pool, and a music studio. It even includes a working, miniature Lego version of the roller coaster from the movie.
The set also includes ten Lego mini-figures: the Joker, Batman, Alfred, Barbara Gordon, Harley Quinn, and Nightwing. The set also includes four disco figures: Disco Batman, Disco Joker, Disco Batgirl, and Disco Robin.
With such a high price tag, toy enthusiasts will have to decide whether it is worth the price.


Birth injuries can place enormous amounts of stress on families, especially if a child will require full time care for the rest of their life. Though birth delivery techniques have improved over the years, birth injuries still happen and can result in years of expensive specialist appointments, tests, treatments and medication.
These unexpected costs cripple many families, particularly if one parent now needs to stay home to care for the child.
Webster & Associates birth injury lawyers have handled devastating infant and child injury cases, including medical malpractice causing spinal cord injury, head injury and brain damage.
Our lawyers can help you better understanding your legal rights, and seek financial compensation where possible to secure the best care and support for your child's future.
Speak to a seasoned Vancouver birth injury lawyer by calling 1 604 713 8030 or 1 877 873 0699 (toll free) or fill out the contact form below.
Birth injuries are commonly caused by doctors, nurses or midwives misdiagnosing conditions or completely missing warning signs, administering incorrect medication, or mishandling deliveries or postpartum care.
Some birth injuries are temporary and heal on their own, or with treatment and/or surgery. Others are permanent and present lifelong challenges.
Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder that affects the way the brain sends communication to the muscle groups. It's caused by a brain injury or malformation while a child's brain is still developing, and can impact body movement, posture, balance, motor functioning skills, as well as muscle control, weakness and tone. Infants are at risk of Cerebral Palsy before, during or immediately after birth.
Symptoms can range from slight tremors and poor coordination to complete paralysis. Cerebral Palsy is a non-progressive condition, meaning the brain damage caused at the time of birth will not cause further degeneration.
While there is no single cause of CP, birthing complications are responsible for approximately 10% of Cerebral Palsy cases. This can include medical negligence during pregnancy, mistakes during delivery, infections, accidents, or abuse.
A Cerebral Palsy lawyer can help you assess whether the CP was caused by medical negligence, and work to recoup costs for your child's medical and home care expenses, rehabilitation and physical therapy, special education, counseling and supplies such as wheelchairs or braces (if required).
CP is considered incurable and a "non-life threatening" condition and with the right treatment and rehabilitation, children with Cerebral Palsy can still live long and fulfilling lives.
Erb's Palsy affects approximately 1-2 babies per 1,000 births. It is caused by an injury to the nerves surrounding an infant's shoulder known as the brachial plexus. These nerves control feeling and motion in the shoulder, arm, hand and fingers.
Erb's Palsy can be caused by: a breech birth (when the baby is delivered feet first and arms are injured from the pressure), excessive pulling on the shoulder, or when the baby's head and neck are pulled to the side during delivery. Larger babies are at higher risk of Erb's Palsy.
Infants can often recover from Erb's palsy with treatment or surgery, but severe nerve damage could cause permanent weakness or paralysis in the arm.
Shoulder dystocia is a birth injury affecting 1% of all pregnancies. It's when a baby's head and shoulders are stuck behind the mother's pelvic bone during delivery. Large babies are at higher risk of shoulder dystocia.
This condition can be very dangerous for both baby and mother and the medical team must act quickly to deliver the baby safely. The mother is at risk of maternal hemorrhaging, uterine rupture and tearing; while the baby may experience a loss of oxygen (which can cause brain damage), suffer a collarbone or brachial plexus fracture, cerebral palsy and in extreme cases, death.
Infant spinal cord injuries occur when trauma during a complicated birth or a medical condition affect the infant's spine. This could be a bruise (a contusion) or a complete tear (a transection).
In cases of medical malpractice, spinal cord injuries are sometimes due to misdiagnosis of spina bifida; a birth defect when the bones of the spine (the vertebrae) don't form properly around the spinal cord. If hospital staff are unaware of the condition, the nerves can be easily damaged during handling.
Other causes of spinal cord injuries during delivery include: excessive pressure or pulling of the baby's body, hyperextension of the head in abnormal birthing positions, brachial plexus-related injuries, or an overstretched spinal cord.
Spinal cord injury symptoms vary greatly depending on severity and location of the damage. They may include: spasms or stinging pains, paralysis, intellectual disability, loss of touch sensations, bowel or bladder control problems, abnormal reflexes and breathing difficulties. Most infant spinal cord injuries happen in the neck region, and the higher up along the spinal cord the injury occurs, the more serious the damage.
In many cases, spinal cord injuries are temporary, and with treatment and rehabilitation a child can make a full recovery. A spinal cord injury lawyer may be able to help families alleviate the stress of expensive treatments.
Many brain injuries during birth are caused by extremely high, low or absent oxygen levels. Conditions such as anoxia, hypoxia, birth asphyxia, and perinatal asphyxia present terrifying risks in newborns and can result in severe symptoms and in some cases, death.
In each of the above cases, a birth injury attorney will investigate whether the injury was caused by medical negligence or if it was an inevitable consequence of a complicated birth.
When birth injuries happen as a result of a doctor's mistake or negligence in treatment or diagnosis, compensation can assist with medical and rehabilitation costs for your child, ensuring they have a bright future ahead.
Is your family entitled to compensation as a result of a birth injury?

NEW DELHI: President of India, Pranab Mukherjee presented the CII-ITC Sustainability Awards 2012 today at a function at Vigyan Bhavan.
Speaking on the occasion the President congratulated the award winners and advised Indian industry to think, create, and deliver while taking care of our future generations. He said what is necessary for our Industry is a belief that the compulsion of creating value for a business cannot be separated from our concern for society and environment. He appealed to the Indian Industry to be part of the sustainability movement and participate in true nation-building.
The President said we need to usher in a culture of social responsibility in the governance of Indian companies. Indian business, by integrating social and environmental objectives in their operations, can make a positive contribution for the betterment of our society. "Inclusive growth" should not be a mere slogan but a fundamental driving force for sustainable development.
Here is the text of President's speech at the presentation of CII-ITC Sustainability Awards 2012.
It gives me a great pleasure to be here with you today, on this auspicious day of Makar Sankranti, for the CII ITC Sustainability Awards 2012. I am thankful to the organizers for providing me the opportunity to be a part of this august gathering comprising of the Captains of Indian Industry.
It is gratifying to note how the subject of sustainability is rapidly gathering momentum to get mainstream recognition. The CII ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development has been at the forefront of creating awareness, promoting leadership and building capacity to enable several Indian businesses to pursue sustainability goals. I congratulate the Centre and ITC for promoting this Award for the last seven years.
The 'Sustainability movement' in our country is now coming of age. The framework of 'Triple Bottom Line' objectives of creating share-holder value, building social and environmental capital promoted by ITC is finding broad-based support. I am told that ITC's Sustainability Vision is implemented through a dedicated social investment programme called, 'Mission Sunehra Kal', aimed at empowering stakeholder communities to conserve and manage their social and environmental capital. Other society based initiatives like e-Choupal, Social and Farm Forestry programme have resulted in significant generation of livelihood and natural capital.
Ladies and Gentlemen, India is today the third largest economy in the world on Purchasing Power Parity basis. It is also the second fastest growing economy, with its growth rate second only to China. Over the last few decades, our economy has shown a capacity to grow faster. The average annual growth rate of 5.5 per cent during the Ninth Five Year Plan period increased to 7.7 per cent and 7.9 per cent during the Tenth and Eleventh Plan periods respectively. In six out of the last nine years, the growth rate of our economy had exceeded 8 per cent.
Due to the slowdown in the global economy and other factors, the growth rate has declined, from 8.4 per cent in 2010-11 to 6.5 per cent in 2011-12, and further to 5.4 per cent in the first half of 2012-13. On several occasions in the past, our economy has demonstrated its capacity to grow at a healthy rate despite disturbances in the global economy and external sector. I hope that we would be successful in overcoming the challenge of reversing this short term deceleration and bring our economy back to the growth levels of 8 to 9 per cent per year.
The imperative to grow rapidly amidst difficult global circumstances is not the only challenge though. As we progress on our chosen path of inclusive growth, we are confronted with a multitude of challenges such as poverty alleviation, mitigation of environmental degradation, response to climate change, increasing competition in international markets, escalation in energy demand, and many more. In meeting these challenges, I am sure the Indian industry will prove to be more than able partners.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Economic growth is no doubt the prime driver of a country's overall development. But the natural ecosystem and the people who make up the society are also vital for nation building.
Environmental sustainability finds an important place in today's global discourse on growth and development. While ensuring universal access to natural resources, we must also promote its efficient use. Most economic activities depend on products and services provided by the ecosystem. In order to sustain the pace of economic growth, businesses must be able to operate without compromising the future capacity of the ecosystem.
Our country is the fourth biggest consumer of energy in the world, after the USA, China and Russia. Energy Intensity, a measure of energy efficiency of an economy that indicates the cost of converting energy into GDP, is higher for India than developed nations such as the UK, Germany, Japan and the USA. Thus, the high economic growth rate of above 8 per cent per annum that we have envisaged for our country in the next five years could entail significant consumption of energy. We must vigorously pursue policies that promote energy efficiency. During the Eleventh Plan period, policies to reduce energy have led to savings equivalent to 10,836 MW of avoided power generation, which in monetary terms, has resulted in annual savings of about Rs. 3000 crore. But much more needs to be done as our journey towards pursuing sustainable development has only begun. I expect the private sector to play a major role towards ushering an era of green energy and sustainability.
The economic prosperity that our country has experienced over the last few decades will mean nothing if, on account of poverty, a significant percentage of our population is not able to participate in its development. A poverty ratio of around 30 per cent and illiteracy rate of 26 per cent in our country is simply not acceptable. A decisive reduction in poverty will be possible only if there is an expansion in economic opportunities for all sections of the society. "Inclusive growth" should not be a mere slogan but a fundamental driving force for sustainable development.
Today, the notion that development encompasses more than just the single dimension of economic indicators, is gaining ground. Historically as well as traditionally, businesses have considered financial gains as the measure of success. We need to usher in a culture of social responsibility in the governance of Indian companies. Indian business, by integrating social and environmental objectives in their operations, can make a positive contribution for the betterment of our society.
I am happy to note that our Industry is actively participating in several key areas of development in the country. Several businesses are developing and implementing innovative solutions for energy access in rural areas. I understand that the organizations being awarded today are actively engaged in working with the local communities, in providing agriculture education to farmers and technical education and skill development to the youth, in nurturing local businesses, in addressing issues such as water scarcity, and in spreading awareness on issues ranging from health to biodiversity conservation.
This Award function is an excellent platform to recognize the efforts of those corporate organizations which have moulded their business models to accommodate the parameters of sustainability. I take this opportunity to commend both CII ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development and ITC for their relentless efforts and support for this novel initiative.
I congratulate all the winners, who have adopted a difficult path. Let me assure you that the path you have chosen is also full of opportunity. But to find those opportunities, you have to think, create, and deliver while taking care of our future generations. Recognition helps to bring the issue of sustainability to the centre stage of our attention. But what is necessary for our Industry is a belief within them that the compulsion of creating value for a business cannot be separated from our concern for society and environment. I appeal to the Indian Industry to be part of this sustainability movement and participate in true nation-building. I conclude in the words of Late Prof. C.K. Prahalad who said, "For large companies to be entrepreneurial, they have to create aspirations greater than their resources".

How is Colorado Fighting Back to Prevent Cancer?
Colorado in the United States of America is making fruitful efforts towards minimizing the cases of cancer in the state. See how.
The Colorado Cancer Plan by the Colorado state in the United States of America has helped in guiding the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and control of cancer across the state for over 20 years. Given its well-regulated healthcare plans and actions, it is quite common to come across citizens of the state being healthier in comparison to the other states. Moreover, Colorado is also considered as one of the best states in the USA for preventing terminal cancer. In a study, it was found that 6 out of the 10 counties in the United States of America with the lowest rates of cancer were in Colorado. The Colorado Rockies has been specifically regarded as one of the healthiest counties in the state when it comes to cancer diagnoses and prevention. One of the major reasons for such positive results is the five-year plan development by the Colorado state. The specific five-year plans have been highly effective in passing the required legislation while raising ample awareness for cancer prevention at the same time.
Colorado State's Five-Year Cancer Prevention Plan
The latest 2016-2020 plan by the state continues in its tradition. It also aims at providing a proper framework for reducing the overall risk, mortality, and incidences associated with cancer in the state. The latest five-year plan aims at coming up with a shared approach when it comes to fighting cancer-related challenges in Colorado with the help of preliminary prevention, early diagnosis, proper treatment, and provision of ample support to the cancer survivors –right from the point of diagnosis to death.
The five-year plan by the state of Colorado is built around a strong foundation. It is used to describe the cancer burden of the state, including the disastrous effects cancer has on the low-income, ethnic/racial, and uninsured population of the state. The objectives of the plan are organized along the continuum of cancer rather than the type of cancer. It serves to be a roadmap of specific objectives, broader goals, and evidence-based strategies that are organized into five core areas of focus, including:
Prevention: For encouraging healthy behaviors along with ensuring a less toxic environment for lowering the risks of developing cancer.
Screening: Promoting the benefits as well as ensuring increased coverage of the right screening tests for the early as well as effective diagnosis of the condition.
Diagnosis & treatment: Reducing the existing barriers for ensuring the early diagnosis & treatment while making use of the best practices and encouraging participation in clinical trials.
Survivorship & End-of-life Care: Ensuring the necessary resources and services that are required for supporting the continued physical as well as mental health of the rising number of cancer survivors in the state.
Cross-Cutting: Supporting the integration as well as training of the community health workers and patient navigators while promoting awareness of the existing insurance coverage.
Cancer is undoubtedly making an impact on all the Coloradans. As such, the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment suggests that the Colorado Cancer Plan serves to be a roadmap to controlling as well as preventing cancer in the long run. The Colorado organizations believe that it is only by working together in the state is how we can reduce the overall burden of cancer while making sure that Colorado becomes one of the healthiest states in the entire country.
How is Colorado Preventing Cancer?
Under the typical 5-year plan, the Colorado state aims at raising awareness about the simple ways to prevent cancer. Here are some of the common ways in which Colorado aims at fighting back terminal cancer of different types:
Reducing Tobacco Usage: There is no denying the role of tobacco when it comes to increasing the overall risks of developing cancer. Tobacco, in fact, is one of the primary reasons when it comes to the increased risks of cancer of different types. The state of Colorado has been fighting this reality for several years.
In modern times, around 15.6 percent of the Coloradans are habitual to smoking. This is in comparison to 17.1 percent of smokers all around the country. The major decline in the percentage of tobacco consumption is the provision of in-depth tobacco education to young students while encouraging individuals to not smoke in the first place.
It is quite a common misconception that smoking a few cigarettes will do no major harm to the body. Smoking any amount tends to increase the overall risks of cancer along with other tobacco-related diseases. To stay safe from the harmful effects of tobacco consumption, here are a few additional tips:
Avoid smoking in the first place
Avoid trendy tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, hookahs, vaping machines, and others. These might be less harmful but might have long-term effects on the body.
Acknowledge your smoking habits and work upon the same to quit smoking as soon as possible.
Know about the potential health dangers of smoking. Revise the same on a daily basis to help you leave the habit as soon as possible.
Try socializing in different ways that do not encourage you to smoke or take up any alternative to smoking.
Decreasing Environmental Exposure: Paul Kraus from Colorado is known to be the longest survivor of mesothelioma in the world. Undoubtedly, Paul suffers from one of the deadliest forms of cancers –mesothelioma. He acquired the conditions due to his continuous exposure to asbestos while he was working. He has been successful in surviving mesothelioma. Still, he keeps continuously pushing for the legislation to reduce the overall environmental exposure or factors that could lead to cancer in the long run.
As per his request, Paul wants to include a specific drive that should aim at reducing pollution rates in Colorado. It is due to reduced pollution rate that the Rockies tend to have fewer cases of cancer patients every year. There are several environmental exposures or factors that might damage the DNA structure of the cells –leading to cancer. Some of the exposures might include common environmental elements like the chemicals present in radiation, environmental smoke, tobacco smoke, or UV rays from the sun. People can look forward to avoiding some of the cancer-causing environmental exposures, including smoke, tobacco, and the sun's UV rays.
Increasing the Rates of Early Diagnosis: Paul Kraus –the mesothelioma survivor, recalls that he was able to survive the deadly condition through his relatively early diagnosis of the disease. Research in the field of cancer has continuously stated the importance of early diagnosis and detection of the disease that can help in increasing the overall likelihood of fighting and surviving cancer in the long run.
The experts believe that a 99 percent survival rate of skin cancer can be achieved easily through early detection. The same trend applies to all types of cancers. The conditions related to cancer are known to become deadly only after the disease has spread to other areas of the body. If you are able to prevent the same through regular checkups & screenings, you might as well get treated for your condition effectively. The state of Colorado in the United States of America has been working towards getting its diagnosis rates higher by encouraging the citizens to go for regular check-ups to be assured of the best results.
Improving Healthy Behaviors: The healthy behaviors that we follow and the healthy lifestyle that we tend to live on a daily basis play a vital role in determining our health and wellness in the long run. Like a majority of the developed nations out there, the Colorado state aims at focusing on the constant drive towards improving the healthy behaviors of its citizens. As mentioned before, the state has already been making efforts towards cutting short the consumption of smoking in men & women of the region.
However, as per the specific five-year plan, the state of Colorado merely does not aim at encouraging its citizens to exercise more and eat healthy food items. Additionally, it also aims at incorporating improved access to some of the leading healthy behaviors by addressing the economic and social equality concerns. There is no surprise in the fact that poor communities or low-earning groups tend to have higher rates of cancers. The lowest rates of cancer in Colorado belong to those being in the middle-class or high-income groups. In Colorado, the government aims at working hard towards addressing the low-income groups of the state as well to reduce the overall risks & rates of cancer in the state.
Investing in Advanced Cancer Treatments: Colorado is known to be filled with several high-end non-profit organizations (NGOs) that aim at investing into low-cost, advanced treatment options for cancer treatment –both for the purpose of treating its symptoms as well as cancer at the same time. One such leading venture in the state of Colorado is the one involving the utilization of cannabis for treating cancer. The utilization of CBD and THC in the treatment of cancer has been significantly used as a way of treating the side effects of chemotherapy several times. Still, additional research is required to affirm the utilization of cannabis in the treatment of cancer in the coming times.
Another famous treatment option that most health experts around the world are using is "immunotherapy." The state of Colorado also aims at using this revolutionary form of treatment for cancer to enhance the quality of treatment. Currently, the University of Colorado is conducting several studies with respect to the utilization of vaccinations for healing patients with cancer. At the Anschutz Campus at the University of Colorado, several successful immunotherapy-based treatments has been carried out on patients to observe its results.
Colorado's Efforts Towards Becoming the Healthiest State in the Nation
Colorado is already known to possess the best cancer rate in the entire United States of America. The government of the Colorado state has been highly attentive to the respective needs of the citizens. Therefore, it regularly publishes plans on how it aims at improving the overall public health by reducing the overall risk of cancer. In the meantime, the researchers in the state are working towards discovering as well as developing new, advanced treatments that aim at addressing the weaknesses of conventional chemotherapy options.
As per the five-year plan of the Colorado state for preventing cancer, each individual in the state has a specific role to play towards preventing and controlling cancer while supporting cancer survivors in the state. As Coloradans are continuously faced with major decisions about the overall risks of developing cancer during all points of the cancer continuum, the concept of cross-cutting is gaining impetus. The experts believe that some decisions are required to be made, including screening options, prevention behaviors, post-treatment care, effective options of prevention, and support to the cancer survivors. The given choices require the citizens of the state to analyze basic information about health as well as healthcare, assess information about cancer risk, measure the risks as well as benefits of each decision, and make use of the best information that is available for making a choice resonating within the values, cultures, and priorities.
Early diagnosis and treatment serve to be the cornerstones of the effective strategies that have helped in reducing the mortality rate due to cancer over the past two decades. It is believed that all Coloradans deserve the right access to cancer care & treatment options that adhere to the standards that are accepted nationally. The steps taken by the Colorado state are something that other nations, as well as regions of the world, should look up to with respect to preventing cancer and uplifting the health conditions.

EU fines reduce Alphabet's Q2 net profit by 9%
July 25th 2018 | Multiple countries | Mobile | Multiple companies
On July 23rd Alphabet Inc, the parent company of Google, reported a 9% fall in net profit to US$3.2bn in the second quarter of 2018. The US company's performance was dented by a €4.3bn (US$4.9bn) fine imposed on Google by the European Commission (EC) in July for imposing restrictions on manufacturers of Android devices to boost the market dominance of the Google search engine.
Excluding the fine, the company's net income was up by 32% to US$8.3bn in the three months ended June. Alphabet's revenue was up by 26% to US$32.7bn, helped by growth in advertising and other revenues. Total traffic acquisition costs, or the amount paid to third parties for carrying ads, rose by 26% to US$6.4bn.
Revenue from Google advertisements rose by 24% to US$28bn, on the back of a 58% increase in paid clicks on Google properties. Other revenues reported a 37% increase. The other sources of income include properties such as Waymo LLC, a self-driving business, and the cloud business.
Revenue from the "Other Bets" businesses, which includes Google Fiber, its broadband business, and Alphabet's life sciences unit, Verily, stood at US$145m, up from US$97m a year earlier. Alphabet has been diversifying Google's revenue base to reduce reliance on the advertising business. Its capital expenditure almost doubled to US$5.5bn, mainly owing to a rise in investments at data centres and production equipment.
