What do you want to see more on my blog?
For shopping events (MAC, Shiseido, L'Oreal), I've had people tell me to post them in advance, which I do on Twitter and I also comment on my previous shopping event post when I know the dates. Since I don't get sponsored or have connections to the people who hosts these sales events, I only know the dates last minute. Then, there are also people who email me to say that I encourage excessive shopping behaviour or I'm misleading their kids to keep buying make up. SEE - I just DON'T Win.
Congrats! Winner will need to reply my email by lastest January 1st, 2013 11:59 PM EST in order to claim their prize.


The tournament will be held Wednesday through May 24 in Troy, Ala.
UTA struggled at the plate Friday night. The Mavs were held to five hits and were able to only draw one walk.
Jacob Moreland pitched two innings of hitless relief for UTA.


Fox News contributor Lt. Col. Allen West said on "Fox and Friends" that the United States should not accept any military-age men among the Syrian refugees.
West was asked for his reaction after White House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said on Fox News Sunday that there is a "robust vetting procedure" in place.
Rhodes said there would be no change in the plan to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S.
"Anyone from about 16 to 40 years of age, single males, should not be allowed to come in. That's a Trojan horse," West responded.
West said it's "silly" to let people travel to a combat zone (Syria) and then return with their American or European passport.
He also slammed the three Democratic presidential candidates, saying "they're not ready to lead" right now.
West called out Martin O'Malley for calling for the U.S. to commit to accepting even more Syrian refugees, and highlighted the fact that Bernie Sanders still insists climate change is the greatest threat to America.


(JTA) — Two historically Jewish fraternities at Ohio State University have been suspended over hazing activities that violate the Code of Student Conduct.
Alpha Epsilon Pi and Sigma Alpha Mu will not be able to apply to be reinstated until 2023, the university's student newspaper The Lantern reported.
The fraternities violated the Code of Student Conduct, according to the newspaper.
AEPi has been the subject of five hearings before the Office of Student Life in 2017-2018, four of which led to findings of violations, according to the Office of Student Life. The fraternity has been on probation and educational sanctions since January.
Sigma Alpha Mu, which was the subject of two conduct cases this academic year, was suspended for two years in 2013.

There is a strong tendency to under-price or discount heavily within the holiday lettings market, especially by inexperienced owners who are new to renting and keen to get bookings in the first season.
Unfortunately, for the long term success of your business, going in low can be a big mistake.
If you put this issue to a debate among veteran holiday cottage owners, the general consensus would most likely be that it is better to add extra value and offer high quality in order to increase prices, rather than to try to compete on price with your neighbours.
If your rates too expensive guests will go elsewhere.
If you rates are too low guests may question the quality of your property, by undervaluing you're instantly lowering the perceived value.
Ask yourself: Do you always eat at the cheapest restaurant? Buy the lowest price clothes? Drive the cheapest car? Guests will pay a higher rental rate for perceived value and quality.
What is your break-even point after running expenses have been accounted for? Never accept a booking if it is below this.
Analyze the competition – what are other (same quality) rentals in your area charging, how are their bookings?
You rating structure should take into account the seasons (low, mid, high, peak), national and school holidays and any local events where accommodation is in demand.
If you have a holiday cottage in the UK consider Friday to Friday, Friday to Monday or Monday to Friday lets. For weekend/mid-week lets you can charge a 70-80% of the weekly rate which can be more profitable.
Offer reductions for bookings over 2 weeks or long term lets in low season.
Low price = Low quality. Quite simply, if you price something too cheaply then there will always be a sense of there being something wrong with it. It sends out a message that the owner is trying desperate measures to get bookings, because nobody wants it for some reason, or it is an indication that all is not what it seems.
Low prices also attract low quality guests. The long-term success of your holiday rental business is about the right thing for your property, as much as it is about doing the right thing for you. Think about it, would you prefer to have 25 weeks full of bargain hunters looking for a cheap deal who might wreck the place, or 15 weeks of higher-spend guests paying twice as much but who are more likely to show respect to you and your business? Which scenario gives the best income/use of your resources?
If you do your research carefully to see what the market is offering, then add in the right kinds of 'extras' to attract new clients, then you can (and should) confidently charge a competitive price from the start and attract a higher quality of clientele.
It is far easier to reduce rates and give special offers from a high starting point, than to keep your guests loyal after hiking up your rates from a low starting point. Existing customers may drop off if you put your prices up on them, whereas if you start like to mean to go on with higher rates, then you will attract higher paying guests who are less price-sensitive and more loyal to begin with.
A high starting point also gives you room to work with agencies who will take a % commission, which can be the most lucrative way to get bookings coming in as you begin to rent out your property. You can always lower your prices later if the bookings don't come in.
Positive signals on social media networks and good customer feedback can be the lifeblood of a holiday letting business and the first season can be crucial to getting it right. By adding additional value and excellent quality, but charging the right amount for it, you will attract a more discerning level of clientele who will show your property the right level of respect and appreciate what you offer. Happy guests = great reviews = repeat bookings + more attractive to newcomers.
First impressions are crucially important for selling holidays – people make a snap judgement based on emotion when they first see your property online – there can be no other way of judging it as you cannot touch or feel a holiday until you get there. So the first few seconds on your website will be enough to give the potential guest that crucial emotional response, which is hopefully a "Wow" rather than a "No".
They then look for more information so they can be confident that their emotions are correct, and if they see the prices are too low then there will be a conflict between what they initially felt, and what you are now telling them about your property – if it's too cheap, is it really going to be as good as it seems? A higher price will justify their instinctive impression that yours is a quality property.
So if you think a higher price strategy might be a good approach for your holiday property, what can you do to make sure your property matches up to expectations, and be confident that while charging higher rates you will still be getting the bookings?
Group A) Highest priced properties – note down what makes them special, what facilities do they have, how are they described and what is their marketing and photography like?
Group C) Those charging rock-bottom rates – note down your instinctive reaction to these properties and why they are so cheap.
Now you want to do more of what Group A properties are doing, and do less of what Group C properties are doing. Learn from example, and if your place is far better than any of your Group A competitors then do not be afraid to show it, and charge even more!
In your marketing, take time and care to effectively highlight the USP (unique selling proposition) of your property.
Pricing should always be inclusive. Sorry to say this but in today's holiday rentals market your guests expect the Full Monty. They demand the quality of a 4 star hotel with self catering facilities, they do not expect to have to bring along their own towels and linen, and spend the last day of their hard-earned break cleaning.
Including some kind of welcome hamper or gift. Thoughtful touches like this go a long way, and they are often mentioned in online reviews which in turn attract more bookings.
Offer additional services, even if at a cost. Things like a catering package, excursions, or even a shopping service or child minding can all make life easier for your clients to have a memorable stay.
Explain what you don't charge for. You probably provide a few little extra things for your guests at no charge. Explain how you go the extra mile for your customers and all of the little things you do for free.
Use a professional property stylist and photographer – if you are going for a higher-price approach there is simply no excuse for sub-par imagery. Investing in professional photography might cost you one or two weeks bookings, but the return over the long-run will be far greater for it.
Give exceptional service at all touch points with your guests, both during the booking and pre-arrival process, through to the arrival and welcome, and during their stay. Then capture the guest's testimonial as soon as possible on their return to reinforce the fact that they would definitely come back again!
Be Luxurious. To aim at a higher spend market, it can help to highlight the equipment & gadgets you offer and drop brand names and labels into your descriptions. Consider what today's high end travellers have come to expect; iPod docking stations, multimedia equipment from quality names such like Bang & Olufsen, games consoles, free use of an iPad during their stay (pre-loaded with local tourist info?) a kitchen filled with Le Creuset and Smeg, a hot tub and champagne on arrival.
Highlight all these extra items, it all adds value and proves that your property is worth what you are charging for it.
These are just a handful of ideas to help justify higher prices and attract more bookings. The additional expense can be factored in to your prices, but the cost of providing such added extras will always work out lower than the value you can add (and prices you can charge) by doing so.
But what if a holiday cottage letting agency suggests lower rates?
Some managers or letting agencies business model is based on filling the maximum number of weeks at the lowest rates. Selling fewer weeks at a higher rate can give the same return as more weeks at low rates, without the extra costs of changeovers and wear and tear. It's not the number of weeks you let that matters – it's the income and profit.
Setting lower rates when you start out is an option, but be prepared to adjust them to maximise income.
Only time & experience will allow you to pitch your rental rate correctly. Perceived value increases dramatically when you have higher rates, but your property and service has to justify them. Charge a competitive price from the start with added 'extras' to set you apart from the competition.
There is no doubt that holidaymakers are shopping around more efficiently and booking at the last minute. However the best properties will always book up fast, especially by repeat guests, but it usually takes a few years for new rentals to achieve this.
Try to avoid discounting too early. If guests know you offer discounts they will hold out for them, which will impact your income. However, discounting can get bookings to fill rental voids. Review your booking trends regularly to help you achieve maximum occupancy. How far in advance do guests book? Which weeks sell fast? Knowing your booking trends will prevent panicking.
The biggest hurdle to overcome when letting your holiday home and getting bookings is exposure!
This is a very comprehensive posting and crammed with good advice!
We see many properties that could rent for a higher price but are inhibited by poor quality photos. A professional photoshoot will cost anywhere from £2-400 but, if this enables you to lift your prices by an average of £50 a week, then it is well worth the investment. If it helps, we provide a free sheet of guidelines for owners preparing their property for a photoshoot. Just e-mail us for a copy.
Mid season price revisions: Once advantage for the independent owner, i.e. not tied to an agency, is the ability to revise prices as the year progresses. If, for example, you get to December and find you have already filled 4 of the 6 summer holiday weeks – why not try an increase in the price for the remaining 2? If your prices are fixed a year ahead and unchangeable, the only way to lower them is to offer a discount. While this can work is does imply a small measure of desperation, with bookers wondering why no one else has chosen to book your cottage. Also, discounting means competing on price, so you really need to know what your competitors are offering in order to steal the advantage.
I hope this will add to what is an extremely useful posting for holiday cottage owners – even those of us with years of hindsight!
I couldn't agree more with regards to photos. Eye tracking studies conclude that users eyes are drawn to photos, if they are bad then you are likely to lose a potential booking. Good images get travellers engaged with your rental and what it offers. A professional holiday home photoshoot is an investment that can generate income that pays for itself multiple times over.
Your pricing revision tips are spot on, it's a strategy that has successfully worked for airlines for many years. Basic rule of supply and demand.
Thanks for adding your valuable experience with holiday let marketing to this post.
Thanks for reminding me of why higher rates are meaningful.
A small increase in rate makes a huge difference on the breaking even scale. In other words a small increase requires a lot less booked out days to make the same money.
BTW: I am writing an article on setting rates and will include a link to your post.
Which also means less work on management.

Blu-ray Review: Good Boys is Full of Laughs - Out Now
Created: Tuesday, 12 November 2019 12:19 | Written by Jamie Ruby
Good Boys is comedy that follows a trio of sixth grade boys, self-dubbed "The Beanbag Boys," in their adventures. Max (Jacob Tremblay), who seems the most eager to grow up, thinks he's in love with his classmate Brixlee (Millie Davis). Thor (Brady Noon) loves to sing and dreams of leading the school musical, Rock of Ages, until he's teased by the popular kids. Lucas (Keith Williams) just wants his parents to stay together.
When Max is invited by a popular boy (Izaac Wang) to a "kissing party" where Brixlee will be, he desperately wants to learn how to kiss. At his friends' insistence he decides to borrow his father (Will Forte)'s drone, which he's been specifically told not to, to spy on his teenage neighbor Hannah (Molly Gordon) in the hope of seeing her and her boyfriend (Josh Caras) lock lips. What they get is a lot more than they bargained for when she and her friend Lily (Midori Francis) take the drone and won't give it back.
In retaliation, the boys steal one of the girl's purses and the girls give chase. In the interim the drone is destroyed and the boys skip school to somehow get a replacement before Max's father returns home.
What follows is a quest involving accidentally stolen drugs and a bunch of wacky mishaps and bad language as they head to the mall while running from the girls.

The German 1st Light Brigade was a mechanized unit established in October 1937 in imitation of the French Division Légère Mécanique, intended to take on the roles of army-level reconnaissance and security that had traditionally been the responsibility of cavalry. It included mechanized recon units, motorized infantry, and a battalion of tanks. In 1938 it was enlarged to become the 1st Light Division (sometimes described as Light Mechanized or Light Panzer to distinguish it from the later Light infantry divisions). In 1939 the division fought in the Invasion of Poland. Due to shortcomings that the campaign revealed in the organization of the Light divisions, it was reorganized as the 6th Panzer Division afterward in October 1939.
As the 6th Panzer Division, it participated in the 1940 Battle of France and then transferred east for the rest of the year. In June 1941 it joined Operation Barbarossa, fighting at first under Army Group North for Leningrad but soon transferring to Army Group Center, where it fought in the Battle of Moscow and the Rzhev-Vyazma Salient. By May 1942, it had suffered such losses that it was withdrawn to France for rehabilitation. It returned to the Russian Front at the end of the year and participated in the failed attempt to relieve the Sixth Army at Battle of Stalingrad. Thereafter it fought in the battles of Kharkov and Kursk and the defensive battles back across the Ukraine and White Russia afterward. In early 1945 it was used in the attempts to relieve Budapest and then driven back into Austria, where it surrendered to the Soviets at the end of the war.

Kazakhstan observes day of mourning after fatal jet crash
Almaty (Kazakhstan) (AFP)
Kazakhstan observed a national day of mourning on Saturday a day after 12 people died when an airliner crashed shortly after takeoff and slammed into a house.
The jet carrying nearly 100 passengers operated by budget carrier Bek Air was torn apart and its nose crushed on impact with a building in the country's biggest city Almaty, but many on board managed to walk away without serious injury.
In the capital Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan's largest flag was at half-mast while officials made urgent appeals for blood donations to help injured survivors.
Neighbouring Russia and China were among the countries to join the Vatican and the European Union in expressing condolences to the former Soviet Central Asian republic.
Officials say the Fokker 100 plane's tail hit the tarmac twice on Friday during take-off before it came down and crashed into the concrete building, splitting into two.
According to Kazakh emergency authorities, the 12 dead included the pilot. Another 47 passengers out of the 98 people onboard were still in hospital on Saturday. Nine of them were children, officials said.
An investigation has been opened into "violation of security regulations and air transport operating rules". But the interior ministry is still examining possible causes for the accident.
According to the authorities, an inquiry should announce its first conclusions next month. But a dozen other Bek Air aircraft will be grounded in the meantime.
According to the industry ministry, the low-cost airline operates nine Fokker-100 type aircraft, a medium-haul model built by the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker.
In March 2016, a Bek Air Fokker 100 with 116 passengers on board had to make an emergency landing at Nur-Sultan International Airport due to a landing gear problem, without causing injuries.


Sorting books back onto the shelves.
A beautiful thing started today in the library! An amazing parent volunteered his time by installing secured wood dividers on our shelves. These dividers are going to make a huge difference in the library, allowing all students to safely browse books without the fear heavy books falling down.
For the past four years, we've identified that our library shelves have too many books and small children struggle browsing those book. Deep down I've struggled with the idea that our books aren't being checked out because kids can't get to them!
I am starting off the Thanksgiving week, VERY thankful for shelf dividers, Will M. , and having the world's greatest job!
Have a great Thanksgiving break, always in partnership with you!
While there hasn't been much talk about the individual candidates in the library, we have had some rich conversations about the election process, the Electoral College and the responsibilities that come with voting. We used a variety of resources, one of my favorite is Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr. Many students have been been given their username and password to their "My BrainPop" - here students can login and complete activities and submit. As librarian, introducing student to digital literacy and citizenship, I will be using this program often. Brain Pop Election resources.
Click here to participate in our QAE election. Invite the family to vote, refreshing the screen each time will bring up a new ballot. This is a great resources I've used with my daughter, talking about the Electoral College. We'll load the map tonight, clear all the states and fill it in as states come in either RED or BLUE. 270 To Win - or click here for a blank copy of the US MAP - ready to be colored.
The sun is shinning and I am ready for history to be made tonight. Tears of joy? Tears of concern? Tears that my daughter is apart of amazing America!

Q: Unix Universe ODBC .net query show one column (ID) only I know it's all database system. Hopefully i can get some help here. Thank you
We recently try to use ODBC and .net toolkit provided by rocketsoftawre to retrieve the data from the universe database.
The problem we encountered is.
1) Some table we are able to list out all the column. But some table only show one column of record even though that particular table has more than one column
Preview for table with all column show
http://i.stack.imgur.com/aoDol.png
Preview for table with single column show
http://i.stack.imgur.com/JSsTC.png

A: Someone needs to go into the Universe side and clean up the dictionaries on the files you want to view from ODBC. You can either convert them to SQL tables, which I find is a process fraught with peril, or you can add a type "PH" dictionary item on each table called "@SELECT" and list out all of the fields you would like to make available when executing SELECT * FROM TABLE;
Having clean well defined dictionaries is the key to interoperability between universe and the outside world.

The 'Independent'
Ah well....fun is guaranteed!!
"Consumers teeter on the edge of borrowing precipice
"As banks warn that defaults are rising, the advice agencies are gearing up for action. David Prosser reports
"Published : 04 June 2005
"HBOS this week became the third bank in 10 days to warn that the number of consumers defaulting on debt repayments has risen sharply this year."
I feel great sympathy and pity for the banks that are once more caught with bad debts. Get out the violins....
"The Halifax Bank of Scotland group says that its bad-debt provisions will increase markedly this year. It is now tightening its lending requirements to try to get on top of the problem."
Well, at least they act rationally eventually.
"HBOS's warning follows similar alerts from both Barclays and HSBC last week, amid increasing concern that Britons may finally be running into trouble in repaying the £1trn of consumer debt now outstanding."
The 'understanding' of the writer is typical of the 'Independent'.
You owe the bank £500, you have problems.
You owe the bank £1 trillion, the bank has problems.
"The Bank of England's latest consumer-credit figures, also published this week, show that borrowers are continuing to spend more on credit cards and personal loans."
And why not? Borrowers make a judgement call. That is how free markets work.
" And, while last month's rise was the smallest for four years, [...] "
In other words, the rate of high interest borrowing is on the way down. That is down, which is different from up. That will mess up the bank profits.
"[...] some debt experts believe that many borrowers may have passed the point where showing some restraint will get them out of trouble."
I always like articles that refer to "some", so much less precise than sums.
"The three banks' warnings are the latest signs this year that a debt crisis is imminent."
What is one of those????
" In April, for example, the Government announced that 37,900 people went bankrupt over the year to the end of March, [...] "
Gloriana - the sheer awfulness of it. That's nearly 1 in 1,500. It must be the end of the world.
"[...] a 30 per cent increase on the previous year."
4 is a 30% rise over 3 - nearly!
"And figures from Credit Suisse First Boston suggest that borrowers will default on £4.5bn of bank loans and credit-card debt this year."
How dreadful. That's nearly ½% of the money on which banks have been collecting large rake-offs since god knows when. Surely this must be the end of civilisation as we know it?
"The defaults come as people struggle with higher mortgage bills than a year ago - there were five increases in the Bank of England base rate over the 18 months to last August."
Well, naturally. Inflation takes at least 18 months to 2 years to filter through. So, with rises not hurting before the election, it was safe to do that [the UK general election was on 10 May 2005].
"A reduction in the number of interest-free deals on offer from credit-card lenders has also prevented people moving debt around so easily, which may previously have masked the extent of their borrowing."
Life is hard, and then you die. Surely no-one with an ounce of sense imagined the 'free' rates would go on after the banks had idiotsville caught in the net?
"For now, lenders are not panicking."
But the 'Independent' is, of course. Those fossil media idiots live in a permanent panic. Comes of being innumerate socialists.
" Barclaycard's Ian Barber says: "You will always see ups and downs in bad debt figures during the economic cycle, but we believe that the current levels are manageable [...] "
How boring....
"[...] in the absence of significant interest-rate rises or a sharp increase in unemployment." "
Ah, the banks are fat and happy, but they don't believe they can squeeze much more from the lemons.
"However, the increases in bad debt at banks such as Barclays and HSBC are larger than those analysts would expect to see when the economy is not in recession. HSBC economist John Butler warns: [...] "
Don't worry. If major banks go bankrupt again, the government will bail out their clients with your taxes - as ever.
" "Consumers are now very sensitive to the slightest shock."
"We've squeezed until the pips squeak. I fear they are starting to squeak."
"What is worrying is that this has happened when unemployment is still very low." One problem may be that many people are actually worse off than economic indicators suggest - high-profile job losses at companies such as Rover, for example, have yet to feed through into the official figures."
Ah yes, the canard that a major company supplied vast amounts of 'jobs'. Why did he bring up Rover?
"But debt advisers are concerned about the type of people in difficulty."
The big green ones....
"John Fairhurst of the charity Payplan says: "Debt problems are no longer just the result of a change in circumstances, such as a relationship break-up or losing a job. We're seeing more people who've just been spending a little too much each month over an extended period and who find that this is now catching up with them." "
Awful, really awful. Now they'll have to spend a little less for a while. At least they can enjoy their hi-fi set, or their plasma tv, or their bigger house, while they squeeze on the visits to granny and the hols in Majorca for a while.
"Malcolm Hurlston of the Consumer Credit Counselling Service adds: "Broadly speaking, people adapt to changes in their circumstances more quickly than the experts predict and, in fact, real incomes have continued to rise this year. Even so, it is clear that consumer spending is slowing and that many of our clients are finding it even harder to make repayments." —
As the violins play on.....
"The CCCS took 180,000 calls from worried borrowers last year, [...] "
How many calls did each 'worried borrower' make? Perhaps they were feeling lonely and wanted to moan at someone.
" [...] and is currently hiring enough new staff [...] "
More jobs for all those unemployed who have not appeared yet. Isn't life just hell?
"[...] to be able to cope with 300,000 calls [...] "
Another entrepreneur expands the business to employ those poor Rover exes.
" [...] in 2006. Payplan says it is also hiring, with the number of calls it receives having increased rapidly over the past six months."
Ah yes, "rapidly". Another good word that saves you having to think or count.
"What frustrates debt advisers is that many borrowers only realise they are in trouble when a crisis point arrives."
If that didn't happen, how would 'debt advisors' get employed?
"By taking action earlier, it is possible to avoid disaster."
"Disaster" - no ice creams for a week.
"Anyone struggling to stay on top of debt should talk to one of several free advice services."
Under pain of mortal sin.
"They may be able to help you resolve the problem by sorting out your finances."
And pigs 'may' fly. Who pays for these 'debt advisors'? Who trains them? We must be told! Is it the banks?
"There may be obvious ways to reduce the cost of debt, for example, or you may be missing out on state benefits."
Incredible. If you're in debt, no probs, just come to us and we'll help you steal some more money from those who do not profligately run up debts.
"These agencies can also speak to creditors on your behalf, in order to renegotiate what you pay each month."
Ah. You mean so as they can keep squeezing you at just below the level at which you starve; or worst still, the level at which you declare bankrupcy and the poor sods at the bank cannot squeeze you any more.
"CCCS, 0800 138 1111; National Debtline, 0808 808 4000; Payplan, 0800 085 4298"
I must 'phone them right away.
Who writes this trash? I do hope it's not you!

Toward Achieving Health Equity for People with Genetic Disorders
Posted on June 28, 2021 by Muin J. Khoury, Ridgely Fisk Green, Katherine Kolor, Office of Genomics and Precision Public Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia
If health equity is about making sure that everyone has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible, public health efforts to achieve health equity must include people with genetic disorders. Some might consider having a genetic disorder a health inequity itself—one present from birth and over which affected individuals have limited control. Thousands of inherited genetic disorders affect millions of people in the United States and lead to increased risks for many health conditions across the lifespan, including birth defects, developmental disabilities, and common chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. From a health equity perspective, genetic disorders result in an increased burden of morbidity and mortality, hospitalizations, and costs associated with health expenditures and reduced economic productivity. Genetic disorders have a high risk of recurrence within families, and while the ability to use family history and genetic testing to identify those at risk—often before disease onset—offers unique opportunities for prevention, many persons with genetic disorders remain undiagnosed and untreated.
We recently embarked on a planning effort to identify public health actions in genomics and precision medicine aimed at improving population health in the next decade. We have adopted a health equity lens to these planning efforts. People with inherited genetic disorders face unique health equity challenges due to their disorder, requiring public health action that involve providing access to medical diagnosis and interventions. Added to this, many face additional burdens due to social determinants of health.
Access to health services and specialty care, including genetic services, is important for diagnosis and management of genetic disorders and is lower among some racial and ethnic minority groups, rural communities, and people with lower incomes. For example, genetic testing for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and Lynch syndrome is lower for people in some racial and ethnic minority groups compared with non-Hispanic White persons. Even among those who are diagnosed, disparities remain for access to treatments. People with familial hypercholesterolemia who have lower incomes are less likely to start treatment with PCSK9 inhibitors and more likely to have insurance coverage for PCSK9 inhibitors denied. Disparities in diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders influence health outcomes, which can impact broader health disparities. For example, while hereditary cancers cannot entirely account for the higher mortality of Black persons from breast and colorectal cancers, disparities in diagnosis and treatment of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and Lynch syndrome must be addressed before full health equity can be achieved.
For many genetic disorders, evidence-based guidelines are available that can reduce morbidity and mortality and improve health outcomes. Yet, many people with genetic disorders are still not diagnosed and treated. As we move forward with identifying public health actions in genomics in the next decade, we need to address health inequities among millions of people with genetic disorders by improving overall implementation of genomic medicine and focusing on communities that are impacted the most. As we outline in our recent post, public health approaches can include data-driven policies and programs as well as workforce development, community engagement and public education to help close the health equity gap for people with genetic disorders.
The promise of genomics and precision medicine for all cannot be fulfilled if we focus our attention solely on new scientific discoveries in genomics and precision medicine, but neglect optimal implementation of interventions that can save lives and reduce health inequities in all communities.
We welcome suggestions from our readers about the most important actions public health programs can take to close the health equity divide for people with genetic disorders in the United States. Please share your thoughts in the comments box below.

Without serious, thoroughgoing, and by all accounts meaningful engagement with disability communities, this promising emphasis on population health equity can – indeed, will – in the genomics context look very much like next-generation eugenics. The increased "burden" that disabled individuals and caregivers experience is more socially than genetically mitigable. The CDC should pay equal attention and devote equal resources to the ways that social aspects of disability perpetuate health disparities.
Ron L Martin says:
For traditionally well-recognized genetics-related disorders like PKU, etc., many healthcare workers are familiar with standard practices for management of those disorders, and healthcare disparities can be rectified more easily (although health STATUS disparities can also involve education and socioeconomic factors/social environments).
However, besides traditionally-recognized genetic disorders, there's also a continually growing number of health issues which we're beginning to learn can be influenced by genetics or by epigenetics or by gene expression manipulation, and which can be either exacerbated by or alleviated by various "environmental" factors (including various substance-related disorders, not to mention pharmaceuticals among patients whose drug-metabolizing enzymes are not typical – such as ultra-fast metabolizers or very slow metabolizers of drugs).
To alleviate disparities in both health CARE and health STATUS (the latter often due to lack of awareness or action among some patient groups), greater educational efforts among all potential audiences should be undertaken (including professionals, interested members of the public, and insurance companies).
The reason this deserves more attention (and action!) is because I perceive that many healthcare professionals are reluctant to undertake on their own initiative the admittedly daunting task of sorting the wheat from the chaff with regard to what is possible, and what is advisable, and what is practical with regard to genetics-informed prevention, to diagnosis and to treatment — especially when considering that many environmental and lifestyle factors can be important for either triggering or for managing many health conditions.
Because of the complexities and uncertainties involved, I believe that many healthcare professionals have been dragging their feet with regard to wider testing and genetic-informed management efforts — often using rationalizations like, "I must cause no harm" (with reference to well-meaning but perhaps still not well-informed advice).
So how can this reluctance among professional be alleviated? Education is a start, but there is also the matter of "standard practices" that should be reviewed. It might be that patient self-management to "share" responsibility as part of a "partnering" effort could be helpful to patients, to give patients the opportunity to consider the emerging evidence that seems to show promise, but for which consensus has not yet been achieved.
Finally, it would be helpful if healthcare professionals were encouraged, equipped and even incentivized to move forward with wider embracement of genetics/genomics-informed health care and PREVENTION efforts, rather than to be dis-incentivized by fear of potential professional or legal liabilities. How this can be brought about will require some concerted effort in a multi-discipline cooperative study over an extended period of time — because we're not talking about traditionally-recognized genetic disorders alone, but also about all of the newly-recognized conditions for which genetics, epigenetics, and gene expression all interact with our environment (including nutrition and pharmaceuticals), and with our lifestyle choices too.

The Father's plan of salvation reaches out to all humanity—even when we are dead in sin and could do nothing to save ourselves! Even when we are enemies of God, He loved us and gave his Son for us!
The Gospel begins with the Father. He has a glorious plan and purpose for humanity. He plans to draw everything in heaven and on earth to himself through Jesus his Son, whom He sent to be our Saviour, Redeemer and Friend. Jesus' sole purpose was to fulfil that plan, and He did so by stepping into time and space, going to the cross, rising from the dead, and ascending to the Father. As a result of this, we were cleansed, made right and stand righteous before the throne of God.
His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the wonderful kindness He has poured out on us, because we belong to his dearly loved Son. He is so rich in kindness that He purchased our freedom through the blood of his Son, and our sins are forgiven. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. God's secret plan has now been revealed to us–it is a plan centred on Christ, designed long ago according to his good pleasure. And this is the plan: At the right time He will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.
That really sounds like a plan, doesn't it? It is—it's the Father's plan of salvation for everyone who will ever live. All of our ancestors, all of our family, all of our friends and all the future members of our clan whom we may never meet in this life! Isn't that just amazing?
Tender Father—what can I say about all of this? Your plan humbles me, inspires me and fills me with great joy right now. It gives me a bright hope for the future. Thank you!


In April, developers broke ground on Vessel, a new giant piece of art that will become the centerpiece of the public square of the new Hudson Yards development.
The 150-foot-tall landmark designed by Heatherwick Studio is being built in Italy, and the first series of massive pieces were installed in mid-April.
The steel structure, which will be able to hold 1,000 visitors at a time, will be constructed with 154 interconnecting flights of stairs, 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings.
Only steps from the Javits Center, Hudson Yards is considered the largest residential development in the history of the United States, and once fully completed, the site will offer thousands of new apartments and hundreds of new restaurants and retail shops.

Engagement rings have an attractive appeal to men as fine as women. Although buying the most excellent cheap engagement rings for men, women require seeing that these reflect logic of manliness. The ring as well needs to be tough, solid and corrosion challenging since it may be uncovered to harsh situations as a part of the everyday grind that men regularly undertake.

The Platte
(Häftad)
(150,94 kr exkl. 6% moms)
Arising in two separate streams high in the Rockies and flowing east across the plains to meet the Missouri near Omaha, Nebraska, the Platte River is a microcosm of the geologic, plant, animal, and human worlds. Way station for the sandhill cranes, home of the Plains Indians, and artery for the great westward migrations of the nineteenth century, the Platte Valley offers a rich diversity of life and history. Focusing on the central role the Platte has played in shaping Nebraska and its heritage, both human and natural, Paul A. Johnsgard presents in this book a "brief and personal portrait of the river as it has existed in the past and still exists today." "My special hope in doing so," he writes, "is that the value of the river as a living, complex, and natural ecologic system can be more fully appreciated, and that whatever steps may be necessary might be taken to preserve the river's integrity." Johnsgard tells the story of the Platte from prehistoric times to the present and then assesses its future. A selection of photographs and checklists of birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, fishes, and common plants of the Platte River and its valley enhance the book's interest and usefulness. This Bison Books edition includes a new preface and afterword by the author.

This may be possible depending on how the underlying data is set up. Could you post a mock-up of the data - showing the rows and columns, so I can try to accurately replicate the issue?
