Mirrors have always been quite a simple addition to the bathroom with most only serving one purpose, until now that is!
Introducing the Artis Niteo LED mirror and it's arsenal of fantastic features! This mirror is a real cut above the rest, bringing style, practicality and functionality to any room that it's installed in.
To start it has the versatility to be hung in either a portrait or a landscape orientation. This means you can fit it whichever way is more practical to you. It's a large mirror with dimensions of 500 x 700mm and it comes with a stunning border of light, generated by 108 separate LEDs, all mains powered of course because no one wants to be changing batteries!
The LEDs can be turned on and off using a discreet infra-red sensor positioned down the one edge. The sensor itself doesn't just control the lights either, it turns on the demister pad that's fitted conveniently inside the mirror. A demister pad will keep a section of the mirror completely stream free, even with the shower running, so you can carry on getting ready no matter the moisture loitering in the air.
Now you might be thinking, LEDs, demister pad, could this mirror get any better? Well yes actually it could because fitted next to the sensor is a standard connection shaver socket so you can always keep your trimmer handy or charge your toothbrush with ease.
All of our mains operated mirrors are IP44 rated which means they've been fully tested for suitability in a moisture rich environment. They do also come will a brilliant 3-year guarantee too!
We all have our own personal bathroom routine which is why it's pretty annoying if you've had a shower and now can't see even the blur of your outline in your very steamy mirror. Thankfully those woes aren't a issue thanks to a handy demister fitted within the mirror. They guarantee you a steam clear patch so you can carry on with your day, problem free.
It's no secret that these mirrors look great, but they're packed with clever functions too like the easy to use, no-touch lighting. It's activated by motion using an infrared sensor on the side of the mirror, providing you with extra light to complete the day's pruning. Simply turn back off by repeating the same motion.
Charging your shaver in various places around the house can be a pain, especially if you can do it right there in your bathroom. This mirror comes with a built-in shaver that's been integrated into the side so you can charge conveniently, any time you want!
LED lighting is becoming more and more popular thanks to the life that the bulbs have and also the reduced cost in running them when compared with ordinary lighting. Our mirrors have great light power, assisting you in seeing what you're doing and lighting your bathroom.
With any electrical product that's fitted within a bathroom, or any moisture rich environment, it's important that they exceed the safety standards required for installation. Our mirrors do and are rated IP44 which means they've been fully tested to ensure complete safety anywhere that might pose a water spray risk.
The team here at Plumbworld are so excited to introduce to you our brand new LED mirrors as part of our stunning Artis range! These ultra stylish and modern mirrors are mains powered so there is no worry about changing the batteries! With super powerful LED lighting, a fantastic 3 year guarantee and at a wonderful price, you really don't want to be missing out, so get ordering yours now!


As many of you are aware, I was featured in a TV program on the Food Network called "The Secret Life of Chili". The program first aired last August and is now in reruns.
My boss lady thought it might make an interesting article for me to tell you about the making of the program.
It all began shortly after the first of the year when I got an email from a TV production company in California wanting to know if I would be interested in taking part in a new series they were putting together for the Food Network called "The Secret Life of ----". My segment would be the secret life of chili. I replied that I was indeed interested, and we exchanged a series of emails arriving at an understanding of what was expected of me and what I could expect from the production company.
My end of the deal was to give the host of the show, Jim O'Conner, hands-on instructions for making a genuine bowl of Texas Red. I also had to come up with a suitable location for filming the program. We ended up using the community room here at the compound where I live for the location. It was plenty large and had a nice kitchen. I told the director that I thought making the location setup like a chili cook-off would work better than trying to get everything into the kitchen. We agreed on that. Date for the filming was set for February 27, which gave me about six weeks to get ready.
The email continued to whiz back and forth. Kerry Lambert, the director of the program, had a lot of questions to ask about chili and related subjects.
Finally the Hollywood crew headed to Texas. I was informed that Kerry and Jim O'Conner would be here a couple of days in advance of the shoot for a planning session. Sure enough, two days before the big day, Kerry and Jim showed up at the door.
Kerry turned out to be a really neat little lady originally from Lubbock, Texas. Jim was a very likeable guy who apparently never meets a stranger. We spent a couple of hours talking about chili and the program. I gave them a quick tour of the proposed location, and everything seemed to be just fine. Kerry and Jim headed back to Austin where they were winding up a show called "The Secret Life of Doughnuts".
I had my work cut out for me: a big shopping trip for all the things needed to produce a fine bowl of chili, plus a few things to make the whole operation run smoother.
The day before the big day I was busy. I had to get everything for the chili ready to go in the pot. I also had to cook a pot of chili so that there would be a finished product even if something went wrong on the set. This project took all day. By sundown, I had all my bases covered.
The big day dawned cool and gray, perfect chili weather. My buddy, Scott, came in to assist with anything that might come up during the day. We hauled everything over to the Community Room and got it all sorted out.
About noon the Gollywood crew arrived. Kerry, Jim, a cameraman, a soundman and a gopher. Kerry would also handle a camera so the action could be seen from two viewpoints.
We planned out the first scene. My microphone kept falling off, so the soundman finally taped it on with duct tape. With the sound check coming in positive and the lights being right for the cameras, we started.
My five minutes of fame in the program was boiled down from a little over four hours of material that was recorded that evening. Jim and I covered everything from the origins of chili to the operation of propane stoves, and a lot of things unrelated to chili or anything else.
It was a great time. Jim had a great sense of humor and a quick wit to make it work. We had to stop several times to get the laughing under control.
Despite all the distractions, Jim and I ended up with a pot of chili. For some reason this pot turned out hotter than fire. I have no clue as to why. The same spices were used in both pots. To solve the problem, I mixed the two pots together and came up with one that was just short of perfect. Everyone had a bowl of red garnished with cheddar cheese and chopped onions. Then the Gollywood crew left, leaving Scott and me with a big mess to clean up.
All in all, it was a fun experience. I'd do it again in a minute. I just wish some of the stuff that went on the cutting room floor had ended up strung together. It was funny.
There was no recipe for the TV chili. A lot of folk have asked for the recipe, so I'm going to put it together as best I can remember it.
John Raven's TV Chili ala "The Secret Life of Chili"
Inspect the chile pods. If they have dust on them or dust in the wrinkles, wash them under cool water and pat them dry. Remove the stems, seeds and as much connective tissue as you can from inside the pods. Put the pods in a medium hot, dry skillet and press them flat with a spatula. When you can begin to smell them, put the pods in suitable pot and cover with water. Place a saucer or such on top to keep the pods under the water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and let cool.
Place 2 or 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet and heat just until it smokes. Add about one third of the meat and stir it around until it starts to brown and gives up its water. (You'll know when that happens as a lot of water will suddenly appear in the skillet). Remove the meat to your chili pot with a slotted spoon leaving the juice and water behind. Dispose of the water and do the next one-third. When you have all the meat browned and in the pot, mix in the onion and garlic. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Cover and let set while you prepare the chile paste.
Remove your cooled chile pods from the water, and place them in a strainer over a bowl so they can dry a little. Save the water in the pot. Using a teaspoon or dull knife, scrape the chile pulp from the inside of the chile pods. Save the pulp and discard the tough skins. (The color of the pods is a powerful dye, so if you don't want chili-colored fingers, use gloves for this operation).
Place the comino seeds in a small, medium hot, dry skillet. Stir them around until they begin to give off their aroma. With a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind them to a powder. (Lacking grinding equipment you can substitute cumin powder).
Add enough water to the meat in the pot to cover. Add about two-thirds of the chile paste, and the ground comino. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook covered for an hour, stirring occasionally. If the meat needs more water, use water reserved from soaking the chile pods.
Add the tomato sauce, and bring back to low boil. Check for seasoning, adding a bit of cayenne, if desired.
Mix two tablespoons flour in one-half cup of cool water. Mix until all lumps are dissolved. Pour mix into pot, stirring all the while. Let chili come back to boil for about 10 minutes. The mix will thicken and take on a sheen.
Serve with fresh, fine chopped onions, grated Cheddar cheese, and tortillas or saltines.


If you've used the official turntable.fm app, then you've probably noticed a couple of different things: firstly, it's awesome. Kicking it in a room and spinning tracks with your homies from your mobile is just rad, and the experience is very similar to that of its desktop counterpart.
Secondly, you've probably also noticed that, upon disconnection of headphones or Bluetooth audio devices, the volume was suddenly muted, even when the turntable app isn't running. In fact, I had no idea that turntable was the cause of this exceedingly annoying problem which has been driving me nuts for weeks (to be fair, though, I haven't actually looked for a solution, either).
Fortunately, turntable just released an update to the app that fixes this bug, and this makes me (along with everyone else who has the turntable app installed) very happy. Also, for those anti-social social spinners, the update adds the ability to login with your turntable account instead of just Facebook and Twitter.
The update is live in the Store now, so hit the widget and grab it.

The challenge for many people today is finding the right financial advisor. The sheer number of financial professionals holding themselves out as "financial advisors," makes it a daunting task at best. It is easier if you know what to look for, but that requires an acute sense of what exactly you want from an advisory relationship.
When shopping for a new car, many people know, down to the miles per gallon, what they are looking for in features, safety standards, passenger capacity, and engine output. But the final determinant in a car purchase is the emotional connection the buyer has with the car and how it reflects the buyer's character, attitudes, stature and general outlook on life. A buyer knows he has made the right choice in cars, not at the moment of purchase, but daily as they slide into the driver's seat and turn the ignition key. What makes that possible is the constant reinforcement of value that produces a daily emotional payoff. Should clients with millions of dollars of assets to protect expect anything less from their advisory relationships?
One needs to take into account the expertise or resources the advisor has in all of the financial disciplines, including tax, estate, business and retirement planning. Does he have access to a team of seasoned professionals, or will he rely on his own capacity to address all of these disciplines?
The expertise and resources that a qualified financial advisor brings to bear in dispensing solid, objective financial advice can be invaluable. The universe of financial products is so vast that it is beyond the scope of most people to narrow down the choices to the ones most suitable for your particular situation. An objective financial advisor should not only strive to save you a tremendous amount of time and worry, but will ensure that your best interests are always placed above all else.

Q: Setting FullCalendar config values dynamically As part of a development project using FullCalendar, I needed to be able to change the value of "slotMinutes" using a browser event (onClick).  After a bit of struggle, I was able to find a way.
A)  I have a "renderCalendar()" function that contains the jQuery function for building the calendar.  Within this function is a setting for "slotMinutes", which I point to a variable initialized to 30.

;  slotTime = 30;
  ...
    function renderCalendar() {
        $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
            firstHour: 8,
            minTime: 6,
            maxTime: 18,
            slotMinutes: parseInt(slotTime),
            defaultView: 'agendaWeek',
  ...
    });

B)  My event handler function changes the slotTime value, destroys the current calendar, and re-runs the render function.

  function changeSlotTime(slottime) {
        slotTime = slottime;
        $('#calendar').fullCalendar('destroy');
        renderCalendar();
    }

C)  The hard-fought battle with this change was understanding that the "slotMinutes" value MUST BE AN INTEGER.  Note the "parseInt()" function in the example under section (A).

A: Current issue is described with comments by author of FullCalendar plugin:
first link, second link

A: This should work..
function changeSlotTime(newTime) {
  $('#calendar').fullCalendar('options', 'slotTime', newTime
  renderCalendar();
}

Drug Costs Alone Are Not Always the Best Way to Evaluate HIV Therapy Options
Perspective on the Rx Pipeline - An Analysis of HIV Therapies
HIV Management
Situation Summary
In 2014, there were an estimated 37,600 new HIV infections.[1] That number is down from 2008, however, there are still an estimated 1.1 million people in the United States living with HIV as of the end of 2015.[1]
Treatment with HIV medications is described as antiretroviral therapy (ART). There have been decades of advances in ART; however, there is still no cure for HIV, only virus suppression, which allows people with HIV to live longer and healthier lives. HIV has, therefore, become a chronic condition that can be costly to treat. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that the lifetime treatment cost for HIV was $379,688 in 2010.[1]
While current antiretroviral therapy is safe and effective, there is always room for improvement; with less pills per regimen, smaller pill sizes, less frequent dosing, fewer side effects and drug interactions, and stronger resistance profiles. Therefore, there are a number of HIV medications in the pipeline. There were two new, fixed-dose combination, single tablet regimens approved within the last quarter, and there are 12 compounds to treat HIV within phase II clinical trials. Some have novel mechanisms of action, and some are new combinations of previously approved drugs to help lower the pill burden.
Typically, with advances in treatment comes an increase in cost. While it's common to do a direct comparison of therapies using the drug cost alone, EnvisionRx examines all sides of the complex HIV therapy landscape in order to evaluate cost effectiveness and determine where spend control should or shouldn't be managed.
Available HIV Therapies: Since 1987, the HIV pipeline has seen dramatic shifts as new classes were launched and innovations were made. There are currently 25 antiretroviral medications within roughly six classes based on viral target, with a focus on safety and simplicity to promote medication adherence. Since 1990, when it was discovered that combining antiretroviral therapies led to a decrease in death from HIV/AIDS, there has only been a small availability of fixed-dose combinations. Original therapies for HIV/AIDS could have reached a pill burden of up to 15 tablets per day. Newly developed products reduce the pill burden, requiring the patient to take as few as one or two tablets daily. The first single pill regimen, approved in 2006, was Atripla®, which was followed shortly by Stribild®, Triumeq®, Genvoya®, Odefsey® and Complera®.
The most recent of these approvals includes Juluca (dolutegravir and rilpivirine), which is intended to be a complete regimen for those patients who are treatment experienced and are already virologically suppressed.[2] Juluca, approved in late 2017, provides the option to replace a patient's current regimen containing three or more agents with a single, fixed-dose combination of two agents, decreasing the pill burden and likelihood of potential side effects, without compromising the therapeutic effect.
Biktarvy® (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2018. A combination of bictegravir (50mg) (BIC), a novel integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), and emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (200/25mg) (FTC/TAF), Biktarvy can be a potential treatment of HIV-1 infection in treatment-naive adults.[3] This fixed-dose combination will provide patients with another option for simple, convenient dosing, which meets clinical guidelines for initial therapy in most HIV patients.
Trogarzo™ (ibalizumab), a humanized monoclonal antibody, approved by the FDA on March 6, 2018, is the first HIV therapy with a new mechanism of action in nearly ten years. This treatment will offer a new add-on option for those patients with multi-drug resistant HIV.[4] After the IV-infused loading dose, ibalizumab should be administered every two weeks, which offers the first infrequent adjunct therapy.
Evaluation of the ART Landscape: While it seems intuitive to block the more expensive branded products and prefer the generic, multiple product regimens that are still effective, there is evidence against that managed care strategy. By following best practice guidelines, patients will typically need at least one brand, single-source drug to achieve viral suppression.[5] Additionally, use of generics within the antiretroviral space can increase a patient's pill burden by three to four times.
An increased pill burden can have a negative effect on adherence. While treatment adherence is considered important for any disease state, in HIV, non-adherence can negatively impact viral suppression, which can create an acute health condition for the patient. In the U.S., the adherence rate shown in a meta-analysis was observed to be 55%.[6] Studies have found the standard goal for adherence in HIV patients ranges from 80% to 100%. In a study published in 2012 by Sax et al, a treatment adherence rate of 95% or higher was observed in approximately 47% of patients taking one pill a day, versus 41% in patients taking two pills a day, and 34% for patients taking three or more pills a day.[7] Hospitalization risk was also found to be lower in patients taking only one pill per day.
The generic pipeline is sparse at best, and represents only a small percentage of the current HIV market share, so the impact is expected to be minimal. Also, with HIV being a more complicated disease state to treat, there are other barriers that can reduce the cost-control opportunity. Clinical guidelines can change quickly so that when the generic is ready to launch, the drug may no longer be seen as an appropriate choice of therapy. In this class specifically, there are political and special interest pressures that can force regulations with mandates and managed care limits.
Impact to the Pharmacy Care Experience
Formulary: The EnvisionRx Standard Formulary has established both fixed-dose and brand HIV products in a non-preferred status. Quantity limits have been instituted for appropriate therapy levels and to deter potential fraud and waste from HIV patients sharing therapies. We have also implemented prior authorization limits for those HIV therapies in which patients must meet specific criteria to match the FDA-approved indication. By limiting prior authorization criteria to only those HIV therapies with potential for off-label use or safety concerns if used inappropriately, EnvisionRx can minimize disruption and still maintain cost controls around appropriate antiretroviral therapy.
Pharmacy Network: EnvisionRx strongly encourages that HIV therapies are dispensed through an HIV-specialized pharmacy. HIV-specialized pharmacies can be found in a community pharmacy setting or a mail order/specialty pharmacy setting. These pharmacies have been found to be effective avenues for assisting patients to achieve a higher adherence rate with HIV regimens.[8] Clinical research has demonstrated the value of HIV-specialized pharmacies over traditional pharmacies; therefore, clients should consider implementing policies to encourage the use of such pharmacies for care of their HIV patients. While there are legal requirements at many state levels restricting the mandate of HIV therapies being filled at specific sites, we can work to encourage patients to understand why an HIV-specialized pharmacy would help meet their unique needs.
Member Engagement: Members should work with their prescribers to continue on their current regimen or move to a newer therapy with a lower pill burden or fewer side effects, which can potentially provide an increased quality of life. Members are also encouraged to work with specialty pharmacies that offer assistance with medication adherence and provide education on side effects.
Clinical Support: EnvisionSpecialty offers an HIV clinical program where pharmacists provide drug utilization reviews and intervention protocols for any patient who reports side effects, missed doses, or any other complications from the disease or treatment. The pharmacist-led HIV clinical assessment contains items such as:
Missed dose tracking and adherence education
Quality of life evaluations
Patient support systems at home
Impact on daily living
Side effect evaluation, education and management
Dose optimization and administration
HIV disease education (e.g., symptoms, transmission, monitoring, complications, treatment, drug resistance, PrEP and PEP discussions)
Linking with drug manufacturers and support websites
Payer Action Plan
Review Plan: EnvisionRx recommends that plan sponsors review their coverage policies on HIV therapies to ensure the highest quality care while controlling costs. We recommend instituting prior authorizations and quantity limits in certain instances to decrease fraud and waste and ensure patients are receiving the appropriate therapy. We also recommend use of an HIV-specialized pharmacy to increase adherence, manage side effects, and provide education and support for members.

KOGELO, Kenya (CNN) -- Once Barack Obama started out on the campaign trail to win the U.S. presidency another route has become well-trodden -- to his grandmother's home in Kenya.
Sarah Onyango Obama, in her 80s and born in the village, tries to meet everyone who makes the trip -- and some weekends that can mean hundreds of people.
With the publicity -- not all of it welcome -- has come police security but also some other benefits, including the power lines and repaired roads.

The Reverse Power Relay T2000 will, during parallel operation, prevent the generator from running as a motor, thus protecting the prime mover e.g. a diesel engine and unloading the remaining generators by tripping the generator breaker.
The Reverse Power Relay T2000 will protect the generator from being run as an electric motor. The T2000 will protect the prime mover of the generator against physical damage, but will also protect the parallel running generators from overload caused by the inversed load shift in a reverse power situation.
The T2000 measures the current through an external 5A CT attached on phase L1. The phase angle (phi) is determined from the voltage measurement across L1 and L2. The T2000 calculates the active current as I x cos phi. If the active current becomes negative and exceeds the preset level (2 – 20 %), the pick-up LED will activate and the trip delay timer (2 – 20 seconds) will also activate. The built-in trip relay will energize after the delay has passed, provided that the preset trip level was continuously exceeded during the time of the delay.

Azocine is a heterocyclic organic compound with the molecular formula C7H7N.  It consists of an unsaturated eight-membered ring having seven carbon atoms, one nitrogen atom and four double bonds.

Saturated or partially saturated azocine rings form the core structure of a group of opioid compounds sometimes known as azocines.  These include cyclazocine, pentazocine, and phenazocine.

The fully saturated analog of azocine is azocane.

Azocine rings are found in many natural products, including the manzamine family of marine alkaloids.  One such compound is nakadomarin A, which contains a partially saturated azocine within its hexacyclic fused ring system.

Jeremiah Masoli 'salty' after Ticats blow 14-point fourth quarter lead, lose in overtime to Als
Photo courtesy: Bob Butrym
Hamilton quarterback Jeremiah Masoli did not like the taste of losing the way the Tiger-Cats did in Week 9.
The Ticats blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead and ultimately lost 23-20 in overtime to the Montreal Alouettes. Hamilton had a fumble and three separate three-and-outs prior to a three-play drive that led to a 55-yard Taylor Bertolet field goal at the buzzer which forced the extra frame.
"Just still kind of salty about losing like that. It was tough, we gotta learn from that," Masoli said post-game.
"We gotta do a better job taking care of the ball. If we take care of the ball and have a lot less mistakes, even a couple, I think we win that game."
It certainly was there for the taking for the Ticats. Hamilton was outscored 17-3 in the final 15 minutes of regulation time despite controlling the game for the first three quarters. One fumble by Bralon Addison led to a touchdown and another by Sean Thomas-Erlington in OT gave the Als a victory.
"You just can't play that way and expect to win, you're leaving it up to chance, that's the bottom line. We can't turn the ball over, we gotta make our plays. You're always flirting with disaster anytime you're cooking with that recipe," head coach Orlondo Steinauer said.
"It's pretty evident from our standpoint as to the whys. It's going to be a matter of not making the same mistakes repeatedly or else it's going to be really challenging for us down the stretch."
Masoli protected the football for the entire game. He completed 23-of-33 passes for 223 yards with no touchdowns but zero interceptions and added three carries for 17 yards. It was his first start since Week 2 of the season when he suffered an injury to his ribs in a loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
"Timid… nah definitely not. I definitely was trying to settle in and get the feel of it, but definitely not timid. It was OK, I definitely gotta play better," Masoli said.
"I don't know if safe is a great word. I know that he was trying to avoid the mistakes and sometimes that may have cost us, but I don't question any of those decisions," Steinauer said.
It was Steinauer's first loss (12-1) at Tim Hortons Field as a head coach while the Ticats dropped to 4-4 and Masoli 0-3 as a starter on the season.


The Allegro® Sigrity™ PI course covers the Allegro Sigrity PI product, whichprovides an integrated solution for power delivery analysis, and featuresintegrated Sigrity technology for DC analysis and a Power Feasibility Editor todrive the creation of Power Integrity Constraint Sets.
In this course, you runa DC analysis on a PCB to determine the voltage drop seen by the powerconsuming components on a PCB. You also use the Power Feasibility Editor toselect and analyze a set of capacitors and create a decoupling strategy for ICson the board. This strategy is then captured in a power integrity constraintset and is passed back to the design and managed in the Constraint Manager. Youalso use these power integrity constraint sets to provide placement guidancefor placing the decoupling capacitors on the board.


We are off to a couple big trips this year and I am the self proclaimed queen of packing practical and light. I am a firm believer in a capsule wardrobe and think this premise is super helpful when it comes to packing for a getaway. Let's be real ladies we don't need all the options! Save your sanity and keep it light. Here is my go to method and some tips and tricks I've found tried and true when it comes to packing with the capsule mindset.
1. Plan your itinerary. Will you be walking all day, everyday? Lounging at the beach? Enjoying dinners out? What will be filling your days up?
2. Check your destination's weather for when you will be there. Rainy? Don't pack your leather shoes or jackets that aren't waterproof. Gloomy? Layers will be key. Windy? Plan on no hats and chic hair situations to not look crazy windblown Hot? Think loose fitting and light fabrics.
3. Check out your destination's color pallet. This may seem odd but if you dress with the pallet of your location in mind you will always look perfectly chic in every photo. This will also help you keep on track with a cohesive packing color pallet to allow to mixing and rewearing items.
4. This is always something I think about too... I like to eat and enjoy myself on vacation so I purposely avoid tight fitting outfits so I can be as full and comfy as needed. I may add a belt to cinch in my waist for some shape or a fitted jacket but I keep my outfits loose fitting for the most part for my eating!
5. Decide on hair looks. I wash my hair about once a week so I plan accordingly. I usually start my trip with fresh hair then plan for hats and accessories like headbands and clips for the rest of the trip so I can avoid traveling with a million styling products. Dry shampoo is the best and plan for wash and wear styles like cute braids. If you must, plan on one curling iron to touchup any simple styles.
I have sort of a fool proof science when it comes to my packing. I go day by day and pack for the whole day each day at a time so I don't forget something. I visualize the day from start to finish and pack literally each item as I would envision using it per day.
With this structure, I rewear a lot of items. I pack two pairs at maximum, one jacket in a neutral color, one pair of sunglasses and one hat. One beach tote that I use as my carry on and one crossbody bag to keep hands free. I also try and pack my swimsuit cover to double as a shawl for chillier evenings.
Swimsuits can be worn under denim shorts, green shirt or sarong for beach days. Breezy sundresses and rompers for exploring local areas or dinners out. White blouse and denim cut offs or crisp white jeans for more comfy options.
I adore Easter decor and wanted to try something a little different with my table this year for Easter brunch. I found this fun floral Kate Spade table cloth and black and tan striped runner and ran with it! I layered the two linens with sweet bunny place mats and added blush pink linen napkins to adorable wooden bunny napkin rings. For place settings, I layered my favorite rattan chargers with classic white beaded dinner and salad plate. To top the setting, I added blush crystal coupe glasses filled with gold foiled eggs ( tutorial here) . I love mixing metals and added gold flatware to my galvanized metal peices for a chic touch. Next, I gathered straw reeds from a field nearby our house and created a simple center piece with an oversized galvanized bucket. Our brunch menu will include all sorts of yummy treats including waffles and my favorite frittata. I added some cranberry orange scones to a blush crystal basket. I fell in love with this metal and wood, wheelbarrow salad bowl. I just think it's the cutest little addition. I layered a variety of bagels on a scalloped metal cake stand for some height contrast. I find with creating a table space you want to keep an eye on your heights and make sure to have a variety to make the table interesting. For an extra Easter touch, I added the cutest little straw bunny.
I was having a interesting conversation with a friend the other day about spending. What we each choose to spend our money on and what our habits are. As I get into my mid 30's I've started cutting back on my spending and focusing on the bigger picture when it comes to money. Thankfully, Erik has a wonderful career and my biz has been very good to me over the last 10 years but it's never to early to be more frugal. Also I find that the things that I want are always more $$ than I have. #adulting Over the last year, I've starting making small adjustments on my spending habits and tweaking my spending to put more away towards bigger projects or goals. Here are some small changes I've made that have created to put roughly $400 back in my pocket each month!

APNU floats 70:30 ratio for House seats
By Svetlana Marshall
APNU Leader, President David Granger
…proposes President Granger lead list this time around
…no agreement on allocation of ministries to AFC
NEGOTIATIONS between the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and Alliance for Change (AFC) for the revision of the Cummingsburg Accord is expected to focus on the formula that would be used to guide the allocation of ministries and seats in the National Assembly.
According to reliable sources, during the high-level meeting between President David Granger and the Leader of the Alliance for Change (AFC) last Thursday at State House, the two sides agreed that the AFC would nominate the Prime Ministerial Candidate, in accordance with the existing Cummingsburg Accord. This week, it is expected that the negotiating teams will hammer out a formula for the allocation of seats in the National Assembly, and at the level of the Regional Democratic Councils.
Under the old Cummingsburg Accord, which brought the two political parties together as a coalition on February 14, 2015, the APNU was allocated 60 per cent of the seats won by the Government in the National Assembly, while the remaining 40percentwent to the AFC. "Both sides have shifted their starting ratio from 60:40, but no agreement," the source said.
It was the AFC that had proposed that the 60:40 ratio be maintained, but this was reportedly rejected by the APNU during the talks. After numerous rounds of negotiation, the 70:30 ratio is now on the table, but the sides have not yet agreed on a formula.
"It's based on the perceived and real reduced electoral strength. I think it's a reasonable argument. My sense is that the AFC acknowledges this, and would settle for a reduced portion of seats," the source reasoned.
Added to that, there is no agreement on allocation of certain ministries to AFC beforehand. APNU and AFC have not agreed on who will lead the list. These are among other issues that would be hammered out over the next couple of days.
On Saturday last, AFC held its National Executive Committee (NEC), and endorsed a report and decisions taken by its coalition negotiating team led by its General Secretary David Patterson. Patterson said the NEC provided guidance to assist the negotiating team in finalising agreement on the remaining outstanding items. AFC is hoping to sign off on the revised Cummingsburg Accord by November 10, 2019.
Ahead of the negotiation, the APNU and AFC had committed to upholding the Constitution of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, and to ensuring that no agreement or action collides with, or contradicts, the articles of the Constitution.
In the existing accord, the parties agreed that Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo would chair Cabinet, but later this proved problematic, as according to the Constitution, Cabinet must be chaired by the President, unless he is out of the jurisdiction, or unable to perform the function.
The two sides had also agreed to a number of core principles, and committed to the establishment of a system of inclusionary democracy, and the advancement of the country's Green State Development Strategy, Vision 2040. They also committed to seeking electoral majorities at the general and regional elections and local government elections, and agreed to select candidates for the aforementioned elections through participatory and transparent processes which guarantee that candidates enjoy the majority of their respective constituencies, and satisfy all legal criteria for election.
While the allocation of seats in the National Assembly, Cabinet, Regional Democratic Councils, Municipal and Neighbourhood Democratic Councils would be based on an agreed formula, the two sides have agreed that the prerogative of the President to appoint members of Cabinet and ministers and to assign specific ministerial portfolios is explicitly embodied in the Constitution, and is inviolable.
Meanwhile, other aspects of the core principles include the cultivation of respectful relations, and that at all times the parties will act collectively in the best interest of the coalition. They also agreed to speak with one voice on issues of public policy; to support a common manifesto; and to issue joint media bulletins and releases on electoral matters.
Additionally, the parties have agreed to abide by the principle of collective responsibility in respect of decisions emanating from Cabinet, and to holding common positions on Bills, Motions and Resolutions in the National Assembly. Each party also pledged to inform the other in advance of its inability, at any time, to support any measure in the National Assembly.
Other areas covered in the core principles are that of the publishing of a joint manifesto comprising 12 broad fields: constitutional reform, good governance, economic growth and development, education improvement, energy sector, environmental protection, indigenous peoples, infrastructural development, international relations, social protection and social cohesion, security and human safety, women, gender equality and youth. The parties agreed to jointly finance their elections campaign, and also to campaign vigorously either on their own or collectively in each contested constituency.

As an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker in 2008, Kimberly "Hippie Chick" Hester thought running a hiker hostel would feel like hosting friends for a party every day. Six years later, when Hester and her thru-hiker husband, Jerrod (trail name "Poet"), bought Shaw's, the iconic hiker hostel on Maine's AT, she put her hypothesis to the true test.
"There are no days off. It's a crazy-busy, seven-day-a-week job from June through October," says the 38-year-old Kimberly.
Shaw's Hiker Hostel has long been a community center of sorts. Monson is the first town southbound AT hikers reach after traversing the celebrated 100-Mile Wilderness. But in the 1970s, the town had no restaurants. So, in 1977, Keith and Pat Shaw started cooking lavish breakfasts for hungry thru-hikers at their Monson home, located just off the trail. Soon, "Old Man Shaw" and his hiker hostel grew into the stuff of legend.
Shaw died in 2004. His son, "Junior," ran it for a year before selling it to longtime Monson resident and retired schoolteacher Dawn MacPherson-Allen, who soon grew weary of hotelier life. In 2014, Kimberly's parents, who run an AT hiker hostel in Millinocket, Maine, told her that Shaw's Hiker Hostel was up for sale. Hippie Chick and Poet took the plunge.
These days, the Hesters, who had been working as schoolteachers in Florida, spend half the year in Monson, population 680. They take winters off to travel—Jerrod thru-hiked the Florida Trail last year—and to homeschool their two kids.
The Hesters are also keeping some of Shaw's traditions alive. Belly-filling breakfasts ($9) remain part of the hostel's experience; Jerrod even cooks them in Shaw's original cast-iron skillets. Eggs are still cooked to order, only now "three" is the standard number for everyone. The pancakes now feature Maine blueberries and are served with fresh-ground coffee. "I didn't want to drink lousy coffee every morning," Kimberly jokes.
The Hesters also made a few other changes. They stocked the hostel with a banjo, mandolin, guitar, and steel drum to facilitate impromptu jam sessions. And they replaced the hostel's flooring. "We wanted to keep the eclectic look, but the place needed a bit of renovating," Kimberly explains.
Additionally, the couple created a gear shop so they could offer southbounders the same kind of gear makeover that the famous Mountain Crossings offers northbounders arriving at Neels Gap in Georgia. "Poet and I spent $1,000 there to replace our two-person sleeping bag and my too-small boots," Kimberly recalls. Jerrod conducts load-lightening "shakedowns" at Shaw's and sells lightweight performers from brands such as Big Agnes, Leki, Jacks R Better, and Hyperlite Mountain Gear.


There might be an unknown 9th planet that orbits far from Earth, on the outer fringes of our solar system. You can help astronomers find it, if it exists!
Artist's concept of the very blue Neptune-like planet dubbed Planet 9. It might be lurking dozens of times further from the sun than Pluto. Image via ASU/ NASA.
Just over a year ago, astronomers at Caltech announced solid theoretical evidence for a giant planet – a 9th major planet in the outer solar system – moving far from our Earth and sun, on the solar system's outer fringes. They nicknamed it Planet 9 and said they hoped other astronomers would search for it. Now Arizona State University astronomer Adam Schneider and his colleagues are asking for your help in the search. To get you started, they suggest you visit their new citizen-science website called Backyard Worlds: Planet 9.
Before we go on, let me say this, because we've already had questions today. The hypoethetical Planet 9 being discussed by astronomers has nothing to do with the doomsday conspiracy theory Nibiru. There's no evidence in astronomy for a Nibiru. The Planet 9 being discussed by astronomers is big, with a mass about 10 times that of Earth (a mass similar to the 8th planet, Neptune). But, if it exists, it orbits in orbits about 20 times farther from the sun on average than Neptune, and a thousand times farther from the sun than Earth. So this Planet 9 is not Nibiru.
The evidence for a Planet 9 comes from studying the orbits of objects in our solar system's Kuiper Belt, a zone of comet-like bodies orbiting the sun out beyond the orbit of Neptune. Astronomers believe they can see the unknown planet's effects on the Kuiper Belt objects.
But, as yet, no one has yet observed Planet 9 directly.
You can contribute using the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 website, which is produced in association with the great citizen science site Zooniverse.org. The website uses images taken by NASA's WISE space telescope, which was launched in late 2009 and has mapped the entire sky several times during the past seven years. WISE detects infrared light, the kind of light emitted by objects at room temperature … the kind of light unknown planets might emit.
But there's a snag: Images from WISE have captured nearly 750 million individual sources in the sky. Planet 9 may be among them.
The trick to finding it is to look for something in motion. Because it lies in our own solar system – albeit distant from our sun – Planet 9 would appear to move apart from the star background.
So that's why astronomers need your help. They need many, many people to help them systematically scan infrared images of the sky, searching for objects that move.
The search method is a 21st-century version of the same technique used at Arizona's Lowell Observatory by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh. He discovered dwarf planet Pluto 87 years ago this month, on February 18, 1930. Back then, Tombaugh compared two photographs taken a couple weeks apart, looking for a tiny dot of light that shifted position.
The Backyard Worlds search works similarly, but by electronically serving up flipbooks of WISE images taken at different times. As each flipbook plays, objects in the field move or change appearance, making it easy for volunteer observers to flag suspicious objects for later follow-up.
Participants will share credit for their discoveries in any scientific publications that results from the project.
There are just over four light-years between Neptune and Proxima Centauri, the nearest star, and much of this vast territory is unexplored.
Brown dwarfs are somewhat mysterious. They have masses of less than 80 times that of Jupiter, because that's the point at which nuclear fusion begins and an object becomes by definition a star.
Bottom line: Astronomers want your help in scanning for brown dwarfs and a possible 9th planet in our solar system. To get started, visit Backyard Worlds: Planet 9.

Patent Application Costs and How to Reduce Them
By Bill Hilton
A significant challenge faced by many early-stage companies that are interested in filing patent applications, is that a patent application must be filed prior to any public disclosure of the invention (to preserve foreign rights), which means prior to any revenue on any product or service of the invention. The process therefore, needs to be funded through means other than using revenue from commercial success of the invention. Additionally, priority as between parties that independently discover the invention is given to the first applicant to file under U.S. law.
This first-to-file priority standard further urges filing a patent application sooner than later. If the applicant is willing to forego foreign rights to the invention, the applicant does have a one year grace period (from the first public disclosure or commercial use of the invention) in which to file the application. But if the commercial use was not public, the applicant risks that another party might independently develop the invention and file its application first.
If counsel is engaged to assist in the application process, the cost will be their hourly rate times the number of hours spent, plus the filing fees. The preparation process involves writing the application, claims and any drawings in sufficient detail to support both broad and narrow claims, considering different embodiments and trying to foresee where examination (which may be years away) may go. Once filed, the application may not be modified, added to or in any way altered except to possibly correct typographical mistakes. Everything that might potentially be important (even years later) needs to be in the application as filed with clear presentations of all features and consistent use of important language. All of this takes time.
To reduce the costs, reduce the time required by counsel by taking the following steps to prepare a more useful disclosure. Not only might this save costs, but the process of writing a detailed description on such an important aspect of a new product or business may prove invaluable. Prior to this process, much of the discussion within the company may have remained very high level, even with different individuals within the company having different ideas of what is the invention. Through this process, it may also be discovered, for example, that certain aspects still need to be developed or that certain aspects may not operate as initially thought. In short, writing a detailed description provides clarity.
To reach out to Bill Hilton, please fill out the form below:
The most important steps in writing the application are to first do some research and then write up a full description of the invention with drawings as appropriate, using both broad language and specific examples. For the research, visit the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office at (uspto.gov), and search published patent applications and/or granted patents by keywords. Try to find the closest references to the invention. This provides two things, first if the idea is already out there, you need to know that sooner than later. Second, the references will show you a level of disclosure detail that others have used in preparing patent applications in the field. Generally, this level of disclosure detail needs to be included in the patent application. Additional material cannot be later added to an application without sacrificing the priority date for claims that rely on the new material for support.
In writing up the application, consider which features/functionality are essential and which are optional. This will help inform the direction of the claims, and this will provide a rough outline of what needs to be included in the application. In short, the purpose of the application's detailed description is to provide illustrative examples of the subject matter of the claims, including sufficient detail for one or ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention. Important elements may not be omitted (e.g., kept as trade secrets), as this will undermine the support for the claims and may render any resulting patent invalid or unenforceable if challenged.

There are no shortcuts to this application preparation process. While the U.S. Patent And Trademark Office does permit the filing of Provisional Patent Applications (at a lower fee), there are risks in relying on provisional patent applications as they may be insufficiently developed. The U.S. Provisional Patent Application process exists to address a concern that foreign rights lapse when an invention is publicly disclosed prior to filing a patent application.
Procedurally, the goal is that if a provisional patent application is filed prior to the public disclosure, priority to the invention in the foreign country may be saved. All of this however, depends on the development and level of detail in the provisional application. Foreign patent examiners have access to the priority provisional patent application(s), and will review whether the claims include subject matter that was not fully disclosed in the provisional application. If not, the priority claim will not be accepted. Such challenges generally involve not simply whether the broad concept was present in the provisional application, but whether the same language used in the claims is present in the provisional application with supporting detailed descriptions of the claimed subject matter.
That said, the filing of provisional patent applications may provide helpful flexibility, for example, if the invention is still under development (yet the invention as claimed therein is sufficiently developed), by filing serial provisional applications as significant components of the invention are developed. A later non-provisional (utility) patent application may claim priority to any number of provisional patent applications filed within a year of filing the non-provisional patent application. The detailed description in the application, however, should meet the above standards for the written description regardless of whether the application is filed as a provisional patent application or a utility patent application.
Again, the two most important steps are 1) to identify through research what prior art might exist, and 2) to write up the invention with as much detail as possible regarding the subject matter to be claimed. Counsel may then be engaged as desired, and following these steps should reduce the amount of time needed and therefore the cost.

How many schools make full use of their existing talent to nurture the new?
... and has delivered real benefits to new appointees. The mentoring relationship is different from "managing" because the mentor is not responsible for the "mentee's" performance. The mentor is an experienced and knowledgeable colleague who acts as friend, coach, tutor, counsellor, confidant, observer, and role model. Although mentoring may be seen as an informal activity, the people who become mentors should have a clear idea of their role.
They need to be good listeners and able to elicit information so as to understand the mentee's concerns; they should give constructive feedback and suggestions when asked. They should make time available to show the mentee the building, the equipment and the materials and explain how all these are used. They should help the mentee relate to others in the school and explain how to deal with any administrative duties. Where teaching is concerned they should offer support through observing lessons, allowing the mentee to observe other teachers and helping with the choice and preparation of material. It is important for the mentor to understand their boundaries here. They are in place to help and support, not to judge.
The mentor should also help the new recruit deal with any cultural issues and make sure that the teacher is getting appropriate practical help with such matters as accommodation, banking, travel, diet, healthcare and fruitful use of leisure time.
The relationship is a delicate one, however, and it is important for both parties to have a defined procedure for ending the mentoring if it is not working. The mentor might find it difficult to restrain criticism of the new teacher's performance; the teacher may not feel able to trust the mentor's confidentiality or the teacher might feel the mentor is grudging in giving the time needed. However, if a proper framework for mentoring exists, it can be of great benefit to the new teacher and will allow the mentor to develop new skills.

Is there such thing as generational differences in the workplace? The answer varies. Some labour market experts believe the key to surviving and thriving in a multigenerational environment is to focus on the similarities, rather than the differences.
What's it like working with millennials born between the early 80s and mid 90s? Media often stereotype baby boomers as being loyal and technologically deficient, whereas the millennials are tech-savvy and less likely to stay at a job for a long time. Skilled migrant job strategist of Tribus Lingua, Ailis Logan, notices an obvious difference from her own experiences of working with millennials.
It's estimated that we could well live up to our mid-nineties by 2055 - with our life span now much longer than our grandparents' generation.
With the pension age set to rise to 70 in less than two decades, mature workers are under more pressure than ever to reinvent themselves in a changing job market to compete with younger workers.
Professor Philip Taylor, an age and labour market expert at Federation University, isn't convinced that people should be boxed and labelled as millennials and baby boomers.
Professor Taylor says one thing millennials and boomers share is the threat of job losses from digital disruption. He predicts 2.5 million older workers could be out of work by 2031. Their existing skills will also become obsolete.
Dr Catherine Rickwood is an ageing population researcher who's had to reinvent herself with some of her old roles no longer in existence today. She believes it's crucial to have willingness for ongoing learning in order to stay relevant and thrive in multigenerational workplaces.
It's crucial to have willingness for ongoing learning in order to stay relevant and thrive in multigenerational workplaces.
Dr Catherine Rickwood mentors a team of students at Sydney University. She also employs a younger worker in her consultancy firm.
It's a bigger learning curve for those entering the Australian workplace from other cultures according to Ailis Logan who's an Irish immigrant herself. She gives an example of some Malaysian managers she's coached, who had to adjust to a more egalitarian work style.
Labout market experts advise refreshing your own views of the world by engaging with younger people to bypass cultural and age differences. In addition to that, one should also get to know how to communicate in an Australian business setting.
It's really about understanding the Australian culture by getting practical experience through English language meet up groups or volunteering.


Hash #969 was held on 25th February 2017 at Fort Wolf, Gouyave, St. John. The location for the start and end of the hash at Fort Wolf is fantastic, a little bar on the side of a steep slope leading down to a river that is perfect for cooling down.
There was a big downpour on the morning of the hash which required the hares to make some last minute modifications to both the runners and walkers trails. The day had rain on and off before, during and after the hash, which made for good mud and a nice cool run.
The Bling Ting Crew of hares added a couple of ropes to the walkers trail and added (a little too much) road to the runners trail. Both trails started off up and up a steep hill, the run/walk split was right at the beginning and the runners merged with he walkers soon after causing a slight bottleneck. There was another run/walk split near the top of the hill and the runners had some exciting slopes and a small river hop/crossing. The highlight of the trail was the end which finished in the river beneath the bar, everyone got to have a swim and rise most of the mud off their clothes and shoes.
The de-virginizing ceremony went off smoothly and we had to do an extra down down for 3 virgin girls that arrived VERY late for the hash (about 20 mins after everyone had finished).
Kelly "Rear Entry" Henry received the Wizards Sleeve punishment for picking Cashew on the trail and allowing the criminal act to be photographed for evidence!
The after hash party was fantastic and enjoyed by all, good food & drink, great music and a covered dance floor kept the party going late.
Thanks again Bling Ting & Crew for an excellent hash.


If the Cavaliers are going to take Game 7 from the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, they are going to have to do it without Kevin Love.
Love was put into the concussion protocol and ruled out for Sunday's Game 7 in Boston after sustaining a head injury in Friday's 109-99 Game 6 victory over the Celtics.
The Cavs forward collided heads with Celtics' Jayson Tatum while setting a screen in the first five minutes of the game.
Love fell to the ground holding his head and the Cavs had to commit an intentional foul to get him off the court. He was taken to the locker room while experiencing concussion-like symptoms and did not return to the game.
The five-time All-Star was averaging 15 points and 11 rebounds in 31 minutes per game through the first five games of the series.
Love also has a history of concussions since joining the Cavs.
He was in the protocol in March after taking an elbow to the mouth from Miami Heat forward Jordan Mickey. He also sustained a concussion in Game 2 of the 2016 NBA Finals which caused him to miss Game 3 before returning.

Programmes to cure political illiteracy fall short in Scottish YCL
Posted on 23rd April 2021 by Red Youth Britain, Scotland
A throwaway attack piece on the Young Communist League's (YCL) Challenge magazine website reveals the critical flaws in the thinking and tactics of communists who ultimately remain wedded to the Labour Party.
Unfamiliar with the concept of tactical voting, Tom Flanagan criticises George Galloway for following through on what he set out to do by founding the All for Unity political alliance, i.e. tactically voting for whichever candidate in his constituency is most likely to defeat the Scottish National Party (SNP).
To clarify, for anyone else unfamiliar with Scottish politics, All for Unity is a cross-party formation expressly formed for the purpose of defeating separatist parties such as the SNP. All for Unity itself is not fielding candidates in constituencies, only being an option on regional lists.
"May's election of course is not a dual choice," Flanagan informs us, "There is not merely the option Sturgeon's neoliberal nationalism, or the same old Tories only with an offside flag." Astutely observed, as the All for Unity tactical voting recommendations also include Labour and Liberal Democrat candidates, in fact, many more Labour candidates than Tory!
We must presume Labour is Flanagan's preferred political party in this instance as the Communist Party of Britain (CPB) are not fielding candidates in the Galloway and West Dumfries constituency nor on the South Scotland region list. Labour, however, have in previous elections come a distant third in the seat, but a vote for them would bring Scotland no closer to putting to bed the divisive, un-progressive and un-Marxist campaign for Scottish independence.
Leaving aside the minor detail of actually trying to achieve a goal which one has set out to accomplish, the critical flaw in the thinking of Tom, and the YCL and CPB itself, is that Labour are a credible and genuine alternative to the Tory party. To vote Tory, they say is the biggest sin, quietly absolving the Labour Party they have championed for decades, and with which they wish to form a government!
Surely much greater damage is done to the working-class cause by steadfastly promoting a party that masquerades as a friend to workers, but in reality, has proven to be as deadly as the Tory party?
Labour-led councils across the country have happily accepted unjust cuts and laws that prevent them from actually helping their constituents, instead rolling out the red carpet for the privatisation of public assets, including council housing and the NHS. Labour governments have carefully managed to block any real progressive working-class movements, instead protecting their friends in big business, and have waged bloody wars that have killed millions on behalf of the ruling class.
Pretending Labour are left-wing and urging the working-class to support them, sometimes 'critically', has done more damage to the cause of socialism in Britain than more than a decade of various Tory (& Lib Dem) governments could ever hope to achieve on its own.
And yet the CPB still stand by Labour in their programme "Britain's Road to Socialism," claiming that "the opening stage in Britain's socialist revolution will therefore have to culminate in the election of a left-wing government at Westminster, based on a socialist, Labour, communist and progressive majority at the polls."
Any notion that the Labour Party is not the graveyard of progressive and communist movement should have been put to bed a century ago. It is a welcome development that the CPB are again standing candidates for election, rather than putting all their energy into supporting the moribund Labour Party.

Introduction: The experience built in the process of living with chronic ulcer is marked by changes such as the inability to work, to relate socially and causes the need to adapt to a routine care. Understanding this network of meanings is important to develop techniques of individual or collective care.
Objective: To understand impregnated subjectivities in the everyday experiences of Brazilian and Portuguese patients with chronic ulcers, in the light of the Oral History of life.
Method: Comparative study with a qualitative approach, using Oral History as method and technique. The network of collaborators, formed by males and females, aged 39-82 years, was structured into two groups, one consisting of 06 people in Natal / RN, Brazil and another composed of 10 people in Évora / Portugal. In both groups, the narratives were collected through open questions, which were recorded, transcribed and analyzed by the technique of thematic content analysis.
Results: Through the analysis, three themes were revealed: Social repercussion in Brazil and in Portugal; Trajectory of theinjured person; and Coping mechanisms.
Conclusion: Changes were observed in social life, leading contributors to isolation, in addition to confronting the stigma experienced. There were also identified points as the reinterpretation of chronic wound carrier about their disease and coping strategies of their chronic condition.
