Rachael also has a special interest in work/life harmony and self-care for health professionals (particularly in rural areas). In fact, her Masters of Clinical Psychology (CSU) research dissertation investigated the effectiveness of a Stress Management and Relaxation Program (SMART-RP) on Rural Professionals in terms of reductions in stress and depression and improvements in coping styles.
As a clinical psychologist and a business owner of three separate businesses, Rachael has experienced first-hand the stressors associated with juggling work/life commitments AND what is required to perform at your best (whether this be in your role as a parent, an employee, clinician or a business owner). She has the gift of being able to connect with people across the lifespan in a genuine and authentic way (and this forms the basis of her book (pending publication) titled "The therapist effect: What clients really want from therapy".
Rachael acknowledges the real struggle for people (both clients and professionals) in rural areas to access the help/support they need and thus has extended her service offerings to provide online training: PE-PET (Parent Education training), internship opportunities, group programs/retreats and workshops.
"No judgement, just empowerment"
Rachael is an experienced clinician and sought after speaker on the following topics:

The world's costliest cities for expats: 8 of the top 10 cities are in Asia
Category: Mobility
Mercer's 2019 Cost of Living Survey finds that eight out of the top ten of the world's most expensive cities for expatriates are Asian cities, resulting from high costs for expat consumer goods and a dynamic housing market.
The world's 10 costliest cities for expatriates are:
1. Hong Kong, Hong Kong (SAR) - most expensive for the second consecutive year 2. Tokyo, Japan - in the same spot as 2018 3. Singapore, Singapore - moved up from fourth spot in 2018 4. Seoul, South Korea - moved up from fifth spot in 2018 5. Zurich, Switzerland - was more expensive in 2018 in third rank 6. Shanghai, China - moved up from seventh spot in 2018 7.

Shenzhen, China - moved up from 12th spot in 2018
The 25th annual edition of the survey used New York City as the base city for all comparisons, and currency movements are measured against the US dollar. It measures the comparative cost of more than 200 items in each location, including housing, transportation, food, clothing, and entertainment.
Hong Kong takes top spot for the costliest city for the second consecutive year, as a result of the housing market and currency being pegged to the US dollar, driving up the cost of living locally. Meanwhile, the world's least expensive cities for expatriates are Tunis (209), Tashkent (208), and Karachi (207).
Singapore has moved from fourth in 2018 to third in 2019, while Kuala Lumpur has moved from 145th in 2018 to 141st in 2019. Elsewhere in Asia, Mumbai is India's most expensive city, followed by New Delhi and Chennai, while Bengaluru and Kolkata are the least expensive Indian cities ranked.
Within Asia, the following are some of the cities in the ranking upto 150 (in order of most expensive to least expensive, based on global ranking):
17. Guangzhou, China 19. Osaka, Japan 27. Moscow, Russia | Nanjing, China 30. Chengdu, China 32. Tianjin, China 33. Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates | Nagoya, Japan 35. Taipei, Taiwan | Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 40. Bangkok, Thailand 41. Qingdao, China 45. Shenyang, China 47. Dhaka, Bangladesh 67. Mumbai, India 102. Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei 105. Jakarta, Indonesia 108. Phnom Penh, Cambodia 109. Manila, The Philippines 112. Hanoi, Vietnam 117. Yangon, Myanmar 118. New Delhi, India 120. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 141. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 154. Chennai, India
Other highlights from the survey included:
London is the most expensive city to buy a single cinema ticket, averaging at about US$22, followed by Zurich and Beijing.
One cup of espresso coffee at a popular, fashionable cafe (including service charges) is the priciest in Hong Kong at about US$8, followed by Beijing and Zurich.
Zurich is the costliest city in the world to buy a fast food meal for one person (i.e. Big Mac from the regular menu), at about US$14, followed by New York and Luanda.
Men's blue jeans are the most expensive to purchase in Cape Town coming in at about US$160, followed by Zurich and Johannesburg.
A litre of gasoline is the priciest in Hong Kong at slightly over US$2, while Singapore, London, Zurich, and Barcelona also feature among the most expensive on this aspect.

Today is a great day for movie fans because there has been a lot of trailers released and a lot of gossip leaked!
We'll see Tom Hardy return to the big screen with the release if Venom on October 4th. Recently, Tom confirmed that he took inspiration from Conor McGregor for the new role. Chatting to RTÉ, Hardy said "it was not Venom: he was not based on him. There were more elements of Eddie Brock which needed to be pinned on somebody who's incredibly handy physically. And, obviously, Conor is incredibly handy physically. There was an aspect the studio wanted somebody who could fight, which they always do in these sort of hero movies," he adds. They want somebody who can have a scrap. Conor obviously wants to have a scrap with everybody, so that's useful. But then, the are other elements in the character like the neurosis of Woody Allen, Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and other elements within. But yeah, he was definitely a key note."
The trailer has dropped for the new X-Men movie, due to be released in February.
If you thought Toy Story 3 was emotional, it seems 4 is going to make you bawl even more. Speaking on The Talk, Tim Allen said he barely got through the last scene.
The second trailer for Sylvester Stallone's Creed II has dropped.
Lady Gaga & Ryan Reynold's new movie is being tipped for an Oscar. What a soundtrack too.
Arnold Schwarzenegger & Linda Hamilton reunite on the set of the latest Terminator installment.

But lawmakers aren't satisfied with that assertion and are looking for more clarity on what "interoperability" actually means. With some fanfare, the two departments both attested that they'd met a 2014 congressional mandate to make all of their respective health data interoperable with one another's IT systems...

Toddlers' eating habits may harm long-term health
July 1, 2016 ackersch
Toddlers in the UK are consuming more calories and protein than recommended, which puts them at risk of obesity in later life, according to a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition.
Toddlers need a balanced diet too
Dietary preferences and habits are established during the first two years of life and what you eat then can have an enduring impact. Increased protein in early life is a risk factor for obesity, and high intakes of salt may set taste preferences for the future, increasing the risk of raised blood pressure in later life.
Researchers found that at 21 months, 63% of children exceeded the recommended daily intake of 968 calories, consuming an average on 1,035 calories. On average 40g of protein was consumed per day, but just 15g is recommended for children aged 1-3. Salt intake was almost three times higher than the 0.5g recommended, and fibre intake among many young children was 8g, half that recommended.

Sugar consumption having a 'devastating' effect on kids teeth
March 19, 2016 ackersch
A leading dental health charity says the government's rejection of calls for a 'sugar tax' is an opportunity lost in the urgent need to address the UK's deteriorating dental health.
The British Dental Health Foundation, which had given its support to proposals for a sugar tax made by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, says the impact will be felt particularly among children where sugar-related tooth decay remains their number one reason for hospitalisation in the UK.
Give your children's teeth a healthy start
Some 26,000 primary school children were admitted to hospital due to tooth decay last year, and child tooth extractions are costing the NHS around £30 million per year, the key cause being tooth decay.
Tooth decay happens when sugar reacts with the bacteria in plaque. This forms the acids that attack the teeth and destroy the enamel. After this happens many times, the tooth enamel may break down, forming a hole or 'cavity'. Tooth decay almost always leads to fillings and often leads to teeth having to be extracted.
Fizzy drinks are a major culprit, so if you value your kid's teeth leave them on the supermarket shelf.

Problems with head lice?
Attending school frequently means children bringing home unwelcome visitors – head lice. Primary school children are particularly prone to infection.
Head lice are passed from head to head through physical contact. They lurk mainly near the scalp for food and warmth and attach their eggs to the shaft of the hair.
Yuck! Thankfully there are plenty of good treatment options.
The lice are whitish to grey-brown in colour, and smaller than the size of a pinhead when first hatched. When fully grown they're about the size of a sesame seed.
Combing wet, conditioned hair with a lice comb is a reliable detection method even when very few lice are present. Thoroughly wet lice stay still, whereas dry or damp lice move quickly away from disturbance, so evading detection.
Head lice can usually be effectively treated with lotions or sprays designed to kill head lice, or by wet combing using a specially designed head lice comb. Don't forget that if using a lotion at least two applications will be needed 10-12 days apart, as the lotions don't always kill louse eggs.
The pharmacy can provide plenty of advice and treatment options to get rid of head lice, so speak to our pharmacist if you need help.
Smoking ban linked to drop in infant deaths
February 12, 2016 ackersch
Further proof that anti-smoking laws have delivered definite health benefits comes from a study of childbirths between 1995 and 2011 which suggests that almost 1,500 stillbirths and newborn deaths were averted in the first four years after the law to prohibit smoking in public places was introduced.
Smoking ban keeping our babies healthy
Stillbirths have dropped by almost 8 per cent in England since the smoking ban was introduced, and the number of babies dying shortly after birth has dropped by a similar amount, according to estimates.
Additionally more than 5,000 fewer babies were born with a low birth weight of under 2.5kg, the researchers estimate. Smoking and smoke-exposure during pregnancy are known to have long-term adverse effects on the health of unborn children, including increased risk of diabetes and heart disease.
If you haven't quit yet and the time is right for you, pop in and have a chat.

Which flu vaccine should your child have?
There are two types of flu vaccine available for children in – a nasal spray and an injected vaccine, so who should get which?
• Children under 6 months are too young to be vaccinated (although expectant mothers aren't!)
• Children aged 6 months to 2 years get the injected vaccine – two doses four weeks apart – although they are only eligible if they are in an 'at risk' group
• All children aged 2-6 on 31 August 2015 are all eligible flu vaccine and should get the nasal spray unless there are medical reasons (severely asthmatic or immunocompromised) for giving them an injected flu vaccine.
• Children aged 7-17 are eligible for vaccination if they are in an 'at risk' group, and will usually get the nasal spray.
At risk children are those with long term health conditions such as asthma and other respiratory diseases, liver, kidney and neurological conditions including learning disabilities, even if well managed.
Ask one of our pharmacists if you are not sure.

Smoking ban results in 11,000 fewer child hospital admissions a year
August 28, 2015 ackersch
If you ever needed evidence of the benefits of smoke-free legislation, this is it. One of the most comprehensive investigations into the impact of the smoking ban on child health in England has shown it has resulted in over 11,000 fewer admissions to hospital a year from respiratory infections in children.
Child in hospital
Researchers analysed 1.6 million hospital admissions in children aged 0-14 across England from 2001-2012. The results found that the introduction of legislation was followed by an immediate reduction of 13.8% in admission to hospital for lower respiratory tract infections. Admissions for upper respiratory tract infections also decreased, but at a more gradual rate.
While passive smoking is bad for everyone, children are especially vulnerable to the effects of second-hand smoke as their lungs are smaller and are still developing.
If you have children and want to quit, then speak to your pharmacist who can provide advice and support, as well as a range of nicotine replacement options to help you kick the habit.

Find swallowing tablets difficult?
June 19, 2015 ackersch
Scientists at the University of Huddersfield are pioneering the use of a special gel that can be used to give medicines to young children and the elderly – groups who often have difficulty swallowing pills and capsules.
Swallowing pill
The gel medicine is made from gellan gum, a natural compound that has been used in foodstuffs until now. It consists of microscopic gel particles which collectively are pourable and can be administered with a spoon. But in the stomach the gel solidifies. This means the drug is not released there, where it would have little effect or even irritate the stomach, but later in the intestine over the course of several hours.
The research is a response to the increasing demand for 'age appropriate' drugs. It is important because a major reason for people not taking their medicines properly is the dosage form – be it a tablet, liquid or cream. So if you are having trouble taking your medicines for this reason, speak to your pharmacist. They may be able to suggest an alternative approach.

Tooth brushing on the curriculum?
Schools and nurseries should be run classes to teach children how to brush their teeth, says the government's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence amid concerns that a growing number of children are suffering from tooth decay.
Do your children know how to brush their teeth effectively?
Around 25,000 children, most around 5 years old, are admitted to hospital every year to have teeth removed. A recent Public Health England survey which found that in areas such as Leicester more than a third of children showed signs of tooth decay. The problem can be prevented with effective tooth brushing and staying away from sugary fizzy drinks and sweets.
Remember to use a fluoride toothpaste, brush for 2 minutes and do not rinse. If you need a new toothbrush, come along to the pharmacy.

Enjoy your free trip to Stockholm Reg.
Sasha now says she held Reggie hostage, guess she'll do anything to make sure he doesn't end up where she is at.
Well she did promise noting bad would happen to him.
Oh man Sasha is willing to do anything to keep him out of trouble.
Total wow- Reggie may have to know deep about Sasha's intentions. He would have to go to at least the 4th level of cognitive thinking to know how Sasha cares about him and how he got out of trouble with her help.
Well that was... Unexpected :-P At least he's free.
Squirrel almost became Mule, and wins a free trip to Stockholm..., film at 11.
Now THIS is an interesting development. But kidnapping and holding as a hostage will definitely jack up Sasha's time.
Love is an incredible thing, though not always nice, isn't it?
and, THAT'S WHY he should be with the OTTER!
Except the otter struggles to maintain a stable monogamous relationship! Not really what Reggie would fancy at this stage.
means that Reggie has to 'work his magic' to make him understand. EVEN if Reggie had a LOT of flings before.
Although Reg may not be going to jail....he's definitely not out of the woods.
Evidently Mark thought everybody knew what it meant.
It is quite a common phrase so I am very surprised that there are people here who don't know what it means.

Grace and her new book. Image courtesy of Grace Coddington's Instagram
30 years of Grace in 3 cartoons
Vogue's creative director at large animates her looks, her favourite photographers and her closest colleagues
In 1987 Grace Coddington relocated from London to New York to take up a position at Calvin Klein. The career move didn't prove to be that good a fit, and the former creative director of British Vogue soon switched over to work at US Vogue.
However, Coddington never forgot her old employer and, earlier this year, she renewed that old professional relationship, modelling in Calvin Klein's latest campaign.
A video posted by Calvin Klein (@calvinklein) on Sep 12, 2016 at 9:06am PDT
Now, as she launches her new Phaidon book, Grace: The American Vogue Years, Coddington has taken a look back at those three decades in the US via three great Instagram animations, posted over on Calvin Klein's Instagram.
A video posted by Calvin Klein (@calvinklein) on Sep 12, 2016 at 12:04pm PDT
In the first clip she runs through her outfits, in the second she draws her favourite photographers – look out for Mario Testino, Tim Walker and Bruce Weber, among others – and in the third cartoon she runs through her own production team, which includes her boyfriend the French hairstylist Didier Malige.
A video posted by Calvin Klein (@calvinklein) on Sep 12, 2016 at 3:10pm PDT
Watch them all here, and for a good look into her life and work in America order a copy of Grace: The American Vogue Years here.
Grace: The American Vogue Years Grace Coddington
The second and final volume of the collected best work of Creative Director at Large of American Vogue and international fashion icon Grace Coddington
This handsome slipcased edition showcases work of the last fifteen years by legendary Vogue editor Grace Coddington. The book celebrates seventeen of the master photographers with whom Coddington has collaborated - including Steven Meisel, Annie Leibovitz, Craig McDean, David Sims, Mario Testino, and Marcus Piggot and Mert Alas - in a sumptuous compilation of Coddington's most beloved fashion stories.
Grace Coddington's extraordinary talent and fierce dedication to her work have made her a global icon. Known through much of her career only to the fashion set, the 2009 documentary film, 'The September Issue' turned the celebrity-adverse Coddington into an international star. In 2016, after nearly thirty years as creative director of Vogue US, Coddington embarked on her new role as the magazine's creative director-at-large.

Bahlingen am Kaiserstuhl is a municipality in the district of Emmendingen, Baden-Württemberg, southwestern Germany.

Geography

Bahlingen am Kaiserstuhl is situated on the edge of the volcanic region Kaiserstuhl, on the banks of the river "Alte Dreisam", about 20 km north-west of Freiburg im Breisgau,

The Kaiserstuhl, where Bahlingen is situated, is one of the warmest regions in Germany. This Mediterranean climate produces quality wines.

History

The name of the village presumably originates from 'Baldinga', which means roughly "among Baldo's people". It was first mentioned in a document in 762.  However, it is likely that Alemannic tribes had settled on the territory as early as the 3rd - 5th century. From 1415 on, Bahlingen belonged to the Markgrafschaft Baden (Margraviate Baden)  and therefore it became Protestant during the Reformation. During the Thirty Year's War and again in the wars waged by the French King Louis XIV, the place was almost completely destroyed. During both World Wars, however, Bahlingen came through widely undamaged.

Coat of Arms

The design of the shield is split in two parts: On the left side, the image shows a read bend on a golden background. On the right side, there is a vine knife with a black handle over a tilted silver ploughshare.

Twinning Arrangement

Since 1996, Bahlingen has been twinned with several French villages in the Alsace region:

Bischwihr, Holtzwihr, Riedwihr and Wickerschwihr.

Economy and Infrastructure

For a long time in history, Bahlingen was characterized by agriculture and wine growing. In the last hundred years, however, the village has been modernized. In 1896, the place was connected to the railway net Kaiserstuhlbahn (Kaiserstuhl Railway). In the following years, the infrastructure was constantly enlarged. Since the 1970s, trade and industry increasingly settled in Bahlingen. Currently, there are about 1000 jobs available.

Viticulture

Wine-growing in this region reaches back to the Roman Age. Currently, Bahlingen cultivates about 280 hectares of vines. Wineries and the cooperative 'Winzer vom Silberberg' (The Vintners of the Silver Mountain) cultivate and sell  the wine. The vintners farm a grape variety  of Müller-Thurgau (a white grape variety), Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris.

Architecture

The mountain church with stained glass windows by Valentin Peter Feuerstein towers over the village. Some  historical Fachwerkhäuser (half-timbered houses) are characteristic for the overall appearance of the locality. The town hall with its rich half-timbered structure dates back to the 17th century.

Sports

Bahlingen's soccer team Bahlinger SC plays in the Regionalliga Südwest (regional league south-west), which  ranks fourth in Germany's soccer leagues.
