Personal Injury & Workers’ Compensation

Florida Personal Injury & Workers’ Compensation Law Firm Provides Representation for Injury Victims

Jupiter attorneys seek justice for those who have been hurt

Personal injuries can happen on the road, at work or even at home, often with devastating consequences. When your injury is caused by someone else’s negligence, you have the right to fair compensation. If you are injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation. An experienced and aggressive attorney at Louis P. Pfeffer, P.A can fight for your rights, go head-to-head with the insurance companies, and win the fair and full compensation needed to pay for your recovery.

A decisive approach to personal injury cases

For more than 17 years, we have successfully employed a proven, methodical approach to help injured victims recover generous settlements and jury verdicts. Our attorneys consult top experts — such as trauma doctors, chiropractors, pharmacists, forensics engineers, mechanics and accident reconstruction analysts — to maximize recovery for your injuries. At trial, these experts are available to deliver clear, compelling testimony that helps jurors understand the extent and cause of your injuries.

With the help of these experts, we pursue compensation for your:

  • Past and future medical bills
  • Lost income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement
  • Emotional distress

We fight to achieve a verdict or settlement that properly reflects the damages you have incurred due to your injuries. .

An aggressive pursuit of Florida workers compensation claims

If you have been injured on the job, even if your employer was not negligent or otherwise at fault, we can help you get workers’ compensation benefits. Our assertive attorneys fight for the compensation injured workers rightfully deserve, including:

  • Compensation for permanent disability
  • Dependants’ recovery for worker’s death
  • Lost wages or salary
  • Rehabilitation expenses
  • Retraining costs

We work to get you the maximum benefits available in your case.

If you suspect your injuries were caused by your employer’s negligence, seek legal advice before accepting workers’ compensation benefits. Once you accept a workers’ compensation payment, you forfeit your right to pursue other remedies against a negligent employer. Our attorneys analyze your case to determine how you can maximize your recovery.

If your workers’ compensation claim has been denied, you must immediately file an appeal. Failure to file within the required time bars you from receiving benefits you rightfully deserve. We handle the rigid bureaucratic process of appealing to the Florida workers compensation board.

Campaign Mounts to Curb Counterfeit Drugs

Published on:
Pharmaceutical Technology, Pharmaceutical Technology-09-02-2012, Volume 36, Issue 9

Import controls and risk strategies aim to promote quality and spur new drug development.

Drug counterfeiting has become big business for international criminals, lured by easy profits and relatively low risk of prosecution and penalties. Analysts calculate that counterfeit drugs cause 100,000 deaths worldwide each year and provide approximately $75 billion in revenue for illegal operators. Distribution of phony medicines has become such a global public health threat that it made the agenda of the Group of Eight (G8) world leaders at their May 2012 annual meeting. G8's concluding declaration supported exchange of information on rogue Internet pharmacy sites and on methods to combat counterfeit medical products.

Jill Wechsler

The Chinese government is looking to counter its reputation as the lead global source of fake and adulterated medicines by cracking down on counterfeiters of drugs and healthcare products. In a raid last month, some 18,000 law officers detained nearly 2000 suspects and seized approximately $182 million in illegal remedies for diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and other conditions. Unfortunately, a similar effort in 2011 led to the arrest of 114 suspects and seizure of $30 million in bogus products, but that apparently did not deter the counterfeiters.

An EU report on customs enforcement in 2011 states that medicines accounted for the most (i.e., 24%) of detained articles. The document notes that counterfeit drug enforcement units broke up rings in Spain and the UK and uncovered fake HIV medications and unauthorized asthma drug inhalers. Counterfeiters no longer focus just on "lifestyle" drugs for erectile dysfunction and weight-loss, but market medicines for a range of serious conditions.

More opportunities

Despite more active anticounterfeiting efforts, shortages of key medicines in the US and Europe have created new opportunities for illicit traders, while ever-longer manufacturer supply chains open the door to diversion and theft. In the past two years, FDA has uncovered Internet sales of counterfeit Abbott pain medicine Vicodin, fake Phentermine tablets, and a phony version of the "morning after pill" called Evital.

In May, FDA warned consumers and health professionals that Internet operators were selling counterfeit versions of Teva Pharmaceutical's Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine). Severe shortages of the short-acting treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder prompted patients to seek new sources, but many of these products either lack active ingredient or contain dangerous substances.

Patients and physicians also are attracted to unknown suppliers by lower prices, as seen in the wave of counterfeit Avastin (bevacizumab), Roche's cancer therapy, which was purchased by dozens of US oncologists. FDA continued to uncover sales of the counterfeit product, in some cases under Avastin's Turkish brand name, Altuzan, despite widely published warnings in February that the phony vials lacked the key active ingredient. FDA has sent letters to more than 70 doctors and clinics in 28 states warning against purchasing the illegal product and launched a major investigation of alleged distributor Canada Drugs and other parties (1). Several online pharmacy operators were arrested, along with importers and distributors.

Track and trace on hold

FDA believes that the best way to keep counterfeit, diverted, and adulterated drugs out of the US supply chain is to establish a comprehensive drug track-and-trace system that can account for legitimate products at every step in the distribution process. In testimony last March before the House Energy & Commerce Health subcommittee, Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), emphasized the need for a system that can provide complete records on all parties involved in distribution after a product leaves the manufacturer. FDA can set standards for drug identification and authentication, as seen in recent guidance for manufacturers to implement standardized numerical identification for prescription drug packages, Woodcock explained. But the agency lacks explicit authority to require implementation of a national tracking system throughout the supply chain. Without such a system, added Allan Coukell of the Pew Charitable Trusts' Pew Health Group, there is no way to check whether an individual vial or bottle is authentic or fake.

Industry opposes such an approach as unworkable and too costly and blocked it from inclusion in the FDA Safety & Innovation Act (FDASIA) approved by Congress in June. Manufacturers claim that the technology to support a fully electronic tracking system is unreliable, and that establishing such capabilities would raise the cost of medicines by billions of dollars. Pharmacists, moreover, protested having to check the authenticity of every drug unit coming in from wholesalers and distributors.

The Pharmaceutical Distribution Security Alliance (PDSA), backed by manufacturers and wholesalers, instead supports the RxTEC model that calls for manufacturers to establish data systems that hold individual drug unit serial numbers. While PDSA claims this system could help regulatory authorities validate products, detect counterfeits, and manage drug recalls and returns, Coukell objected that because the thousands of bottles in a lot may travel through multiple distributors, the tracking system needs to link unit serial numbers to shipping cases in order to know where a black-market vendor obtained illegal goods.

Hot-Topic Roundup

The Senate proposed to include the RxTEC proposal in its initial version of FDASIA, but the House did not agree, and pressure to approve a final bill by the end of June prompted the legislators to drop the issue. Instead, FDASIA contains important provisions that can help block the import of violative products and imposes stiffer penalties on counterfeiters. FDASIA allows FDA to destroy certain counterfeit or adulterated imports instead of having to return them to sender and strengthens requirements for manufacturers to notify FDA of stolen products or evidence of counterfeiting. Trafficking in counterfeit drugs was made a criminal offense, and persons who knowingly and intentionally produce counterfeits or sell them would face fines up to $4 million and 20 years in jail.

These added authorities can help FDA uncover and prosecute drug counterfeiters, now a task for the Office of Drug Security, Integrity and Recalls (ODSIR) in CDER's Office of Compliance. FDA also continues to encourage manufacturers to incorporate physical-chemical identifiers into drug products, as seen in a guidance issued in October 2011 that describes considerations for adopting such formulations for solid oral dosage forms.

Agency officials continue to press for a more comprehensive drug-tracking system, while also seeking additional opportunities to collaborate with other government agencies and international organizations to combat counterfeiters. FDA works with the Commerce Department anti-counterfeiting task force and federal law enforcement and customs agencies, as well as with the World Health Organization, to build global capacity for monitoring supply-chain threats. The agency participated in an INTERPOL-led exercise to target websites supplying illegal and dangerous drugs.

A report from the Institute of Medicine due in 2013 will outline further anticounterfeiting proposals for collective action among regulatory authorities, along with actions that the experts feel that industry should address. FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg will discuss these and other efforts to combat drug counterfeiting at the annual Partnership for Safe Medicines Interchange at the end of this month. All parties will be looking for effective and affordable strategies for improving drug tracking through the supply chain and for distinguishing genuine from adulterated medical products.

Ideas for digital camera to photograph landscapes

Discussion in 'Digital Cameras' started by Dan, Feb 24, 2005.

  1. Dan

    Dan Guest

    I'm off to the US in late Summer to visit the Grand Canyon and Yosemite
    National Park. I'm looking to take a camera that is capable of taking
    semi-decent shots of the landscapes I'm going to encounter. Any ideas on a
    not too expensive (£500 UKP max), easy to use digital camera suitable for
    what I want? I've had alook at but the choice is
    overwhelming and I don't know exactly what I'm looking for! Any
    recommendations would be great.

    Dan, Feb 24, 2005

  2. Dan

    Pete Fenelon Guest

    I'd say for what you want, modest zoom, a reasonably wide angle, but
    decent optics and electronics are clearly in order.

    Olympus do a family of cameras specifically aimed at people wanting
    wider-angle than most of the top-end compacts - C-8080 comes immediately
    to mind, being something like 28-140mm and 8 megapixels. (There is a
    converter that brings it down to 22mm or so available, as well as a
    telephoto converter that takes it out to about 200mm). Street
    prices in the UK are about £450 and it gets good reviews.

    Pete Fenelon, Feb 25, 2005

  3. You aren't asking for much, are you?

    Since you say "semi-decent", I'm assuming that you're not a "serious"
    photographer. So, no tripod, no waiting for just the right lighting or
    that cloud to move into just the right position or coming back a half
    dozen times to take the same scene at various times of day to get the
    perfect shot. I'm assuming you just want good snapshots, some of which
    may be printed to 8x10 and hung on the wall, but most will just be
    4x6's and end up in an album or just put in a box stored under the bed.

    For a small consumer P&S, look on dpreview for a 4-5 megapixel model
    with an 35mm equivalent zoom of about 28mm to 70 to 90mm.

    I found the Olympus C-3030Z fits my snapshot needs. It's 3.3 MP, but is
    out of production and only available used. Today, they go for about
    $125 US on eBay. Zoom equivalent 32 to 96. There is also the 4040, a
    4MP version (out of production) as well as the 5050 and 5060, 5MP ones,
    along with the 8MP 8080.

    If a DSLR is more to your liking, get a used Canon D30 -- 3.1 MP -- with
    a Sigma 18-50 DC lens (28 to 80 equiv.). I got mine off eBay in Mint
    condition for $440 US and bought the lens new at a local camera store
    for $140. If 3MP is not good enough, then the 6MP Canon D60 should do.
    Stefan Patric, Feb 25, 2005
  4. David J Taylor, Feb 25, 2005
  5. I would take the Nikon Coolpix 8400 as it is compact and robust, and has a
    24mm wide-angle view without any accessory lenses. It is 8MP and has an
    excellent quality lens. Shop around, but it may be touch over GBP 500.
    Alternatively, wait and buy the camera in the USA. The dollar makes
    prices cheaper, and the camera will likely cost less by late summer.
    Snag - you won't be experienced in using the camera, and may have to pay
    import duty or VAT should you declare it on your return. You could also
    buy it duty free at your UK departure airport (Dixons offer this) and not
    need to pay further tax.

    David J Taylor, Feb 25, 2005

    It sure was easy. The only thing I did was go into the settings to
    increase the default 1400 pixel wide image to 3000. File Open Go.

    Dan Guest

    Thanks for all the replies. No,I'm not a serious photographer...and I am
    visiting Monument Valley, by the way, as well as some other places.

    The D20 is too expensive for me but the Olympus C-8080 or the Nikon Coolpix
    8400 are interesting prospects as I could probably get them for £380 odd. I
    wouldn't mind being able to enlarge a picture past 8 x10 so I could make a
    decent size wall picture. It would need to be compact as I'll be doing a lot
    of walking with it.

    Dan, Feb 25, 2005
  9. Too bad they haven't compiled a version for Linux and Mac. Although, a
    commandline version should be simple enough: The basic stitching
    engine should be OS independent. It's only the GUI interface that's

Finding the Differences Between Web Designer and Web Developer

The builders of the website may provide the simple way in getting to online but getting an expert help can offer best and bigger outcomes. Many of the businesses invest in designing a website from a web developer or web designer for the money. Finding the difference among the both web designer and the web developer gives you a clear idea about their use in the web development. They both are used to construct the websites but are incorporated in various regions. The web designers utilize the visuals and create the websites concentrating on the client. Whereas the web developer built the core structure of the web site utilizing the complex coding languages. The web developer professionals utilize their coding knowledge and the programming to create the vision for a web designer. Web designers are like architects whereas the web developers are like the workers of a construction site. They possess various set of skills but both build the websites in the way the user wishes of wants to or meets the needs of user. Let’s discuss about the differences between web designer and web developer.

What are the contrasts between the web designer and web developer?

Both are used to build the websites, if you need a website to be built from scratch you need both web designer and web developer to give you good website. Let’s see the comparisons among the web designer and web developer are:

Web Designer

The web designer is the one who enhances the visual of your website. They concentrate on the feel of the webpage and style of the web page utilizing any software for personalizing the visual elements of website. They have the professionalism which we are going to see now:

User interface designer

A web designer of UI helps to enhance the way clients communicating with the interface or elements present on your website. It happens by translating the ideas which are branded ones and are complex and values into the site which is simple to navigate and enjoyable. The user experience designer actually concentrates on researching into constructing a solid user experience in a positive way. Whereas User interface designer concentrates on the feel and look which means on the aesthetics of your genuine website. They work hand in hand especially when it comes to mobile sites and/or mobile apps. Such is the case with Local Sex App, a fuckbook app that has a desktop version for those accessing the hookup app from home as well as a very appealing mobile adult dating app known for its UI and UX design.

User experience designer:

It is the job or task of the user experience designer to hook the visitor. They actually know in a precise manner what will satisfy the clients and what they might enjoy. As they are performed based on the research into the needs of website and demographics of user. It also requires the researching on site restructuring and testing of prototype.

You can think that how it will be when visitors visit your website the most and recommend it to others. It will be thrilling this is what a user experience designer makes to your website by improving it.

Visual designer:

The mixture of both user interface and user experience designer is visual designer. It is the task of the visual designer to utilize the skills of creativity and coding for solving the issues of design. They also enable in conceptualizing the voice tone and brand’s unique style. The visual designers are referred as the masters of the trades of web design and their particular positions is based on what the user requires to be in a website.

Web Developer

The web developer’s task is to build the concept of web designer. They are like the one who build like as construction workers whereas the web designers are like the one who see vision. The developer of web studies in designing the applications of website where as the web designer mainly concentrates on what the client is intended to enjoy. A web developer constructs the framework of website utilizing the programming like jQuery and JavaScript. They have a goal to make smooth running website. Same as the web designers the web developers also have specific roles or positions

Front end developer:

The developer of front end means the development at the client side. It is mainly joined to web designing than the development of back end. As it involves certain web design programming languages like HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. They create certain elements which the client can look at like forms of client leading. The front-end developers possess skills of coding yet they construct the structures with which the client can communicate with.

Back end developer:

The developer of back end means the development at the server side. The back-end developer is the one who can design the core structure of your website. The developers of back end are professionals in utilizing the programming languages which are complex like C#, Java, and SQL. The tasks performed by the back-end developer are not looked by the clients as the developers mainly work on the databases and servers. Their task is to produce functional and logical websites utilizing different programs. They are also responsible for bugs testing and fixing them.

Full stack developer:

The combination of both front-end developer and back end developer is full stack developer. It is in an essential manner the full package as they are the experts in all of the regions.

Thus, a web designer designs a fresh page layout whereas the web developer constructs the fresh contact form and creates a mobile application. The web designer conceptualizes the branding of new website whereas the web developer fixes the issues of server or hosting. The web designer edits the videos and photos whereas the web developer breathes into the vision of web designer. Both the web designer and web developer have their own roles and duties to perform. Both of them do is build a website for you one creates the vision, other offers the concept of the vision. For designing a website from scratch, you need both web designer and developer. So, you require developer for building the foundation whereas the web designer for putting look and feel to your website the way the user need it.

Features of Adobe Photoshop Valuable To Web Designers

For the past many years, Photoshop transitioned itself from being just used for editing photos to one of the best industry-standardized programs for web designing and graphics. But Photoshop to an extent has not somewhat successfully catered to these particular challenges faced by web designers. For being on par with the industrial changes and staying ahead of competitions, Photoshop implemented some great latest features. Also, it has improved its current tools for better alignment along with the latest web designer’s workflow.

Features Of Adobe Photoshop Enjoyed By Web Designers

  • Artboards

When you are creating website design in Photoshop CC, artboards can be a great choice, especially when it is present in app design or responsive workflow. With artboards, you can build various canvases, design various amounts of views and screens. All this right on the file.

For example, you might have both the mobile view and desktop view designed on separate artboards, for showing how your website adapts to other sizes. Another great advantage of Adobe Photoshop is it provides various default device sizes while setting up the latest artboard for easy references. You can even export Artboards as separate files or even as a single PDF file. So, it will be easy to organize as well as share your designs.

  • Layer Comps

The best part of using layer comps is that it provides designers with simple methods of setting up a variety of views in a single file. Frankly, it is one of the important methods to save the current layer state of the document, so that it can be viewed later. This will be helpful in placing various layouts in a single file, however, you can easily toggle among various versions for displaying to your team or client.

  • Smart Objects

These so-called smart objects are important for website designs developed in Photoshop. Frankly, they are defined as basic layers containing various image data right from the vector or raster images like Illustrator or Photoshop files.

Now by importing assets like smart objects, you end up editing the asset as and when needed without discarding the data if you want to access the original version. Here, this is extremely helpful for vector graphics as it can help you to resize and even adjust the object as much as you want without compromising the quality.

Now smart objects are quite useful for web design as they allow assets to be exported in the required format. Like if you are planning to export a graphic like SVG, you can easily do it by keeping the vector version intact and even by importing it just like the smart object rather than the rasterized image.

  • Asset Export

If you check out in Photoshop CC, image assets like JPGs and PNGs will automatically produce folders on your PC as and when you are working on the design just by renaming the layers. In addition, there are even advanced options providing control over the manner the assets are exported and optimized, especially at what sizes they are created. So, this particular feature will save the web designers both the effort as well as the time while the website creation process is going on.

  • Library Panel

Now the library panel present in Photoshop CC will allow you to create assets that are specific to the design. Frankly, it can be used for storing graphics, colors, layers or text styles, elements and more. So, it will make it simple for reference and even reuse assets through the whole designs. Plus, it makes it easier for collaborating on the design with other team members.

Here using the library panel for the website design will easily assist you to make sure that there is consistency in the style usage and components all through the views. So, by keeping elements like colors consistent and typography, it will help in bringing easier transition right from the development and design stages.

  • Creating Assets

One of the best advantages of photoshop is that you can save each and all kinds of layers present in your photoshop as a separate image asset. The only thing you need to do is just append the layer name with any kind of appropriate image extension.

Currently, there are certainly supported extensions.JPEG, .PNG, .GIF,SVG. Most importantly, you have the choice to mention the quality of the image as well as the size of the newly created assets.

After that, you can append the extensions to the given layers or layer groups. Here the newly created assets will be stored in a subfolder along with the source PSD file. So, if the source PSD file is not saved, then you can save the assets in the new folder on your desktop.

The new and latest feature of Adobe Photoshop has indeed increased curiosity among various users. It has even helped in improving the usage of this valuable tool for designers.

Cindy and Jimmy

Star 94 Mornings co-hosts Cindy and Jimmy undergo a sleep study

Star 94 Mornings radio show co-hosts Cindy and Jimmy are awake and on the air in the wee hours of the morning.

To accommodate the early work schedule, Jimmy wakes up at 3:45 a.m. each workday. He’s able to take a nap during the day to squeeze in time for lost sleep. As a mom, Cindy doesn’t have time to nap, so she makes up her sleep by going to bed earlier in the evening.

No matter how they try to catch up, Cindy and Jimmy agree on one thing: They always feel tired.

“It’s punishing,” says Jimmy. “It constantly feels like you have jetlag. That’s how you feel all the time – kind of like you’re in a fog.”

The co-hosts decided to undergo a sleep study at Piedmont to determine if they have sleep issues that need to be addressed or if they should just attribute their exhaustion to their nontraditional work schedules.

“You always hear stories in the news about how if you don’t get enough sleep, you’re going to have a heart attack, have a stroke or gain weight,” says Jimmy. “Sleep is like gold to us. Anything we can do to improve the quality of our sleep, we wanted to do.”

Jimmy’s sleep study results

Aris Iatridis, M.D., a sleep medicine specialist at Piedmont, told Jimmy he has a mild form of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea occurs when an adult stops breathing for short periods of time during sleep.

Dr. Iatridis explained that over the course of the study, Jimmy only slept five or six hours. During this time, his airways shut down about 70 times.

“What shocked me was how many times I woke up in the middle of the night,” says Jimmy. “I think it was about 13 times an hour from that ‘choking noise’ [related to sleep apnea]. It was kind of scary.”

Dr. Iatridis recommended Jimmy start sleeping with a pillow under his head to open up his airways and consider using a CPAP machine.

Cindy’s sleep study results

Dr. Iatridis found that while Cindy does not have any major sleep issues, she is a light sleeper. Both she and Jimmy likely suffer from shift work sleep disorder, which occurs in people who work irregular hours like they do.

Dr. Iatridis and Cindy joked that she could easily “catch up” on her sleep by taking more vacations.

How they feel about their experience

Jimmy said he was initially concerned that undergoing the study would feel more like a clinical experience – as if he were going to sleep in a hospital for the night.

“It wasn’t like going to a hospital,” he shares. “It was like a high-end hotel room.”

Jimmy joked that the best part was when he forgot about being hooked up, was getting comfortable and about to fall asleep, and he heard a voice through a speaker, “Can you please move your cords?”

“You kind of forget [a sleep technician] is watching you,” laughs Cindy.

Both hosts say they were glad they underwent the study because they’d been curious about the results for so long.

Welcome to PJW Racing

Welcome to PJW Racing, and riding

            More than just a USA Cycling Track Race Club/Team

A bit of history to start. PJW Racing came into existence at the suggestion of a coach I had back when I first started to learn about Velodrome Racing at the National Sports Center in Blaine. The team started small, just me and my coach to begin with. The team gradually grew as we started to support some of the juniors who were learning track craft. As years went by, a few more mature riders joined in, so we became a masters team supporting juniors. I feel like we were a supportive, dedicated group of racers who loved the track and the excitement the track generated but also an independent group who could work as a team but also follow our own path. I would like to think that was a successful path.

Join the Team

Any of you who haven’t been members of the original track race team and would like to join, welcome.

Legacy Team Members

I would love to welcome any past members back into the team. What you need to join the team is a love of the bike and the joy and freedom it can bring to you. Just communicate your interest to me so I can update the team roster
The competition team will still be a registered USA Cycling Club. There is no expense to you unless you want to procure a USA Cycling Race license
PJW Sport, new for 2023. A USA Cycling Club under the resources of the USA Cycling PJW Racing Club.
More details on the Sport Team soon.

Why join and what does it cost?

There are lots of good reasons to join and there is no membership fee or charge at all

If you think this new USAC Race Club or Sport Team fits your lifestyle.

Based on your responses, I’ll be updating next year’s team roster and working on more team details over the winter. Hosting trainer rides free to you via Zoom is just one advantage. Make sure I know you have an interest in the trainer rides so I can make sure you are on the invite list. Have some friends that have a like biking interest, pass the Club, Team and Trainer ride invites to them. I would like to think we are an inclusive and welcoming group.
Those of you who are not “Joiners” or are already on a Team and want to take advantage of group rides, Zoom Trainer rides, other fun events we host, you are welcome into our group of friendly cyclists anytime.

*Participation in any organized activity will require a signed waiver

Laughter: how it can help you

By Cara Waudby Tolley | May 10, 2022

Life has been all too serious over the last couple of years, but author Deborah Gray reveals that laughter is an essential part of living.

It’s lockdown January 2021 and I’m sitting alone in a spot close to the radiator in the late afternoon gloom. Gazing out at the skeletal trees twisting and whistling in the wind, I realise that I want to do the same – twist, shout and, most of all, laugh. Intuitively, I know that I need a good belly laugh.

Why is it that we need to laugh? Indeed, what is laughter? Why does it make us feel so much better? And the question of the moment, how do you find laughter?

Laughter and stress

Laughter has been proven to have a profound effect on our body, mind and spirit. It’s a form of cardiovascular exercise that encourages blood to flow more quickly, thus delivering more oxygen to our cells, making our heartbeat stronger and releasing endorphins into our brain. It’s a pulmonary exercise, encouraging us to use deep diaphragmatic breathing, and to exhale fully. It also gives our abs a workout.

A rollicking laugh comes in waves, increasing and decreasing blood pressure. This relaxes the lining of the blood vessels (endothelium), allowing more blood to flow, so lowering your overall blood pressure.

We now know that negative thoughts affect levels of cortisol, dopamine and serotonin in the brain. They can also activate the thalamus, triggering the fight or flight response. By decreasing these reactions, laughter can mitigate the effects of stress and improve brain function. We know that a good laugh improves our mood, but studies show that this is successful even in the fight against clinical depression.

Laughter and the effect on the immune system

Regular laughing stimulates the immune system by increasing levels of natural killer (NK) cells and antibodies. These changes lay behind claims that laughter can potentially help to fight more-serious illnesses and reduce pain.

In one study, Dr Mary Bennett, at Indiana State University, measured the chemical reactions that took place in healthy women who laughed at funny films and a group that watched a tourism film. She found that those who laughed had their immune system significantly boosted. She concluded that “the use of humour to stimulate laughter could be an effective complementary therapy to decrease stress and improve natural killer cell activity in people with viral illness or cancer.”

According to Lotte Mikkelsen, Laughter Ambassador, and the UK’s first Laughter Yoga Master Trainer, “it’s not just the endorphins, it’s numerous things that happen in your body to support all the different systems, your immune system, your central nervous system, your reproductive system, there are so many things that happen to us when we’re laughing. So why is this not recognised and prescribed by doctors?”

Laughter and creativity

There is nothing more joyous than a baby’s laugh. As we grow up most of us begin to censor our laughter. By the time we are adults we take ourselves and life seriously, laughing only in socially acceptable situations.

We need to rediscover that inner child and the playfulness that helped us learn about the world. Laughter yoga teacher, Melanie Bloch, suggests that we need to “take the situations we find ourselves in seriously, but take ourselves more lightly, because it’s in that place of letting go and surrender that creative solutions and inspiration come in.”

Social benefits to laughing

Laughter creates social bonds and a well-timed joke can transform the mood in a meeting, in a bar, even in a medical consulting room. By triggering positive feelings, it strengthens our relationships, develops emotional connections and helps to break down cultural barriers. Again, not being too earnest and being able to find humour in ourselves endears us to others. Likewise, looking for the dark humour in difficult circumstances can ease tension; it creates unity against the common adversity.

If you are in the market for a new partner, then being good at laughing will make you more attractive. And, if you’re in a relationship, laughter will help maintain it. Apparently, women laugh 125% more than men, which may explain all those times when a group of women are in fits of giggles, but don’t know why.

Laughter yoga

In 1995, the Indian doctor, Madan Kataria, realising the health benefits of laughter, gathered a group of five people together to tell jokes and laugh. When the jokes grew thin, he discovered research that proved the brain cannot tell the difference between real and pretend laughter. He created exercises and games, which he interspersed with yogic pranayama (breathing) exercises, in order to deepen the experience.

That remains at the heart of laughter yoga – the ego-busting, induced laughter, the playful games, the infectious nature of laughing with others. Lotte explains, “while laughing, the mind clears and worries are pushed aside. So it’s a mindful practice. There’s so much depth to it beyond the exercise. In recognising the higher consciousness, the spiritual aspects of laughter, it brings us closer to everything that is.”

“In acceptance there is a deeper peace,” Melanie concludes. Like all mindful practices, laughter yoga needs to be part of our regular, preferably daily, routines in order to be effective.

There are many laughter clubs across the country and you can check out the website to track down the nearest one to you. Alternatively, you could sign up to an online Skype laughter club or one via the telephone.

Three benefits of laughter

  1. Laughter gives the body a cardiovascular workout, releasing stress-busting hormones.
  2. It releases our inner playfulness and challenges our ego.
  3. It improves our mood, as well as our relationships.

Space Policy Edition: Why Apollo Ended (with John Logsdon)

As NASA struggles to return humans to the Moon by 2024, it's worth asking: why did it stop in the first place? Space historian John Logsdon joins the show to discuss the politics behind the decision to abandon the Moon in 1972. Casey and Mat also discuss the proposal to offer a $2 billion prize for sending humans back to the Moon and establishing a base there, and why that's not good public policy.

Reflections of Humanity in a Spacesuit for Moonwalkers

Host Mat Kaplan in a long and fascinating conversation with Nicholas de Monchaux, author of Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo. This great book is about much more than creation of the suits that allowed humans to walk and work on the Moon. Jason Davis shares pointers on looking for LightSail 2 overhead, while Bruce Betts provides a solar sail update in this week’s What’s Up. And you might win a Planetary Radio t-shirt!

Space Policy Edition: The Home Front During Apollo (with Emily Margolis)

Did the public support Project Apollo? Dr. Emily Margolis joins the show to explore the domestic politics and cultural impact of the space age throughout the 1960s. Despite the success of the lunar landings, there was more opposition to Apollo than we generally remember.

A Political History of Apollo Episode 5 - A Gift or a Curse?

In the final episode, producer Mat Kaplan joins Casey to reflect on the lessons and legacy of Apollo. Was it a burden on the space program or a gift for future generations? What can we take away from this single data point of humans walking on another world? And what should we be wary of?

A Political History of Apollo Episode 4 - Why it Ended

After more than a decade's worth of work and billions of dollars spent, the United States could send humans to the surface of the Moon whenever it wanted. But after landing only six times, the country just walked away, closing down production lines, laying off tens of thousands of workers, and committing humans to low-Earth orbit seemingly indefinitely. Why did it end? And was this inevitable?

Apollo 11 and the Woman Who Helped Get It Home

Poppy Northcutt was a pioneer—the first woman to work as an engineer in Apollo Mission Control. The program she helped to create got the astronauts back to Earth. Fifty years later, she sits down with Mat Kaplan for a look back.

A Political History of Apollo Episode 3 - The Home Front

In 1964, 40% of the public did not approve of Project Apollo, and more than 50% did not think the moon shot was "worth the cost" throughout the 1960s. Kennedy himself questioned the commitment and considered cooperating—instead of competing—with the Soviet Union in space. At the same time, there was an explosion of space-related pop culture and citizen engagement with the space race. Dr. Emily Margolis, whose dissertation was titled Space Travel at 1G: Space Tourism in Cold War America, joins the show to explore the complicated politics of the home front during Project Apollo.

A Political History of Apollo Episode 2 - The Soviet Moonshot

The Soviet space program launched the first artificial satellite, the first man, and the first woman into space. Soviet cosmonauts performed the first spacewalk and piloted the first two-person spacecraft. But it was the United States that placed the first humans on the surface of the Moon. What happened? Dr. Asif Siddiqi, author of Challenge to Apollo: The Soviet Union and the Space Race (PDF Download), helps answer that question.

A Political History of Apollo Episode 1 - Why It Happened

When President Kennedy announced Project Apollo, the United States was locked in a global ideological conflict with the Soviet Union. But how did the idea of a Moon shot come to be the answer to a political problem? And why did it happen when it did? Dr. Roger Launius, former Chief Historian of NASA and currently the Principal at Launius Historical Services, explains why Apollo happened and where it came from. His latest book, Apollo's Legacy: Perspectives on the Moon Landings is available now.

15 Conversation Starters With Your Donors

15 Conversation Starters With Your Donors

We always say that in Planned Giving, people skills are far more important than technical skills. Why? Because people give to people, not to institutions.

Yet sometimes, even the most socially adept among us need a little help to get the conversation started. That’s why we’ve developed these 15 conversation starters. Use them the next time you meet with a donor or prospect. They’ll help break the ice, establish trust, and get you started on the path to building a meaningful, mutually beneficial relationship.

Are you named after someone in your family?
This will give you a glimpse into the donor’s family life, and give them a chance to talk about someone who may have been important to them. Side note: Be sure to write your donor’s name down, and ask for the correct spelling.

Where did you grow up?
People generally like talking about themselves, and a glimpse into their past can reveal a lot about their motives and beliefs.

What is the biggest change you’ve seen in your lifetime?

This is an especially poignant question for older donors, but we’ve all seen something that’s affected us and our outlook on life.

Who knows you better than anyone else, and why?
This can show you who made a difference in your donor’s life; who’s truly important to them.

Do you or your family have any favorite traditions?
This question will give you some insight into the most important events and people in your donor’s life.

What are you reading? What is your favorite book/who is your favorite author?

This is a great question for folks who love to read, and their answers can reveal a lot about their personality and what’s important to them. If they’re not readers, that’s OK—you just learned something else about them.

What do you like to do to relax?
Believe it or not, this question can reveal a lot about your donor. You can learn whether they’re a workaholic, if they enjoy getting outdoors, the arts, sitcoms, sports ….

If you could change one thing about (situation that affects world, mission, etc.), what would it be?

By finding out what your donor values, you can find out how to help them create a legacy.

What keeps you awake at night?
You might get the same answer as above, or you might learn something new.

What drew you to (your organization)?
Good stewardship starts with finding out what’s important to the donor or prospect, and why they might want to help your organization.

How do you view your financial future as you age?
This will help the donor focus on the three finance “buckets”: needs (needed to survive), wants (something useful or lacking, but not necessary), and desires (more like a goal). As each bucket fills, the runoff flows to the next bucket. Find out which bucket the donor’s philanthropy falls into—wants, or desires.

What is something you’d like to see your gift (and/or the organization) accomplish?

This question will help reveal any areas a donor would like to focus on, and can help you further structure a planned gift.

“Would you rather” questions. For instance, “Would you rather vacation in the mountains, or on the beach, and why?”
This off-beat question can reveal a little more about your donor’s personality.

What’s the most important value you think people should hold? Honesty, kindness, empathy, integrity, something else?
This is an opportunity for your donor to tell you exactly what they value.

What do you want to be remembered for? What do you want your legacy to be?
This will help your donor decide how they want to invest in their legacy.

Last Notes

Remember to ask Open-Ended Questions

Some people are tough to crack. Given the chance, they’ll give monosyllabic answers instead of detailed replies. That’s why phrasing is important. Sometimes, leading or open-ended questions produce better answers:

  • “That must have been amazing! Can you describe for me how it made you feel?”
  • “That must have been difficult. What was the biggest challenge of getting through it?”

Ask some quirky questions.

Sometimes, to let the subject’s personality really shine through, you may want to ask quirky questions, such as, “What’s your favorite TV show? What kind of music do you like? What’s your favorite meal? What’s your favorite color? Do you prefer vanilla or chocolate? Are you a dog person or a cat person?”

Poetry Explorer- Classic Contemporary Poetry, COMPENSATION, by JOSEPH SEAMON COTTER JR.

Poetry Explorer

Classic and Contemporary Poetry

COMPENSATION, by
First Line: I plucked a rose from out a bower fair
Last Line: The song was made.
Subject(s): Pain; Thorns; Suffering; Misery

I plucked a rose from out a bower fair,
That overhung my garden seat;
And wondered I if, e'er before, bloomed there
A rose so sweet.

Enwrapt in beauty I scarce felt the thorn
That pricked me as I pulled the bud;
Till I beheld the rose, that summer morn,
Stained with my blood.

I sang a song that thrilled the evening air
With beauty somewhat kin to love,
And all men knew that lyric song so rare
Came from above.

And men rejoiced to hear the golden strain;
But no man knew the price I paid,
Nor cared that out of my soul's deathless pain
The song was made.

Florist - Florist (Deep Purple Vinyl)

UPC: 644110408716
Availability: OUT OF STOCK

Awarded 'Best New Album' by the editors of Pitchfork, Florist is the self-titled fourth full length record from upstate NY based indie folk band, Florist. The follow up to 2019's critically acclaimed Emily Alone, is the strongest album of the band's decade-long career; an immersive work that conveys the magic of the earth and of family, and the whole of the band’s heart.

These 19 tracks feel like the culmination of a decade-long journey, their fourth full-length album, but the first deserving of a self-titled designation. "We called it Florist because this is not just my songs with a backing band," Sprague explains. "It's a practice. It's a collaboration. It's our one life. These are my best friends and the music is the way that it is because of that."

Limited Edition DEEP PURPLE double vinyl produced by Double Double Whammy in 2022. Gatefold sleeve.

Richard Ho’opi’i: Ululani

Richard Ho'opi'i
Mountain Apple Company

If you want to know about vocal ranges, listen to the opening track of Ululani, Richard Ho’opi’i’s debut album: his bass, baritone, tenor, and high tenor singing are all there, along with his wife, Ululani, adding soprano. Establishing his credentials on this opening himeni (Hawaiian hymn), Ho’opi’i goes on to show why he is regarded as one of the finest performers in the Hawaii today.

Ki’eki’e (falsetto) singing seems to have originated many years ago. Simply put, at first the men sang; then the women decided to sing; the men liked their sound and male falsetto singing evolved. There are few who can perform the style as well as Ho’opi’i.

Together with his brother, Sol, he formed a band in the ’60s which eventually became known as the Ho’opi’i Brothers. In the ensuing decades, they established a reputation for their classic approach to falsetto singing. Disbanding in 2000, Richard was persuaded to continue performing and the result is this, his first solo album.

For material, he has delved back through the years, choosing songs he learnt in his youth along with showstoppers from the Brothers’ days. Some are relatively well known, including “Lovely Hula Hands” and the medley “Kona Moon/Hanalei Moon”, which are sung mostly in English. Others may be new to non-aficionados, but even on first listening take on a warmth and familiarity, which draws you in.

This style might be “unusual” away from its Pacific setting, but Ho’opi’i has an understanding of its intricacies — he floats gracefully between normal register and his falsetto voice, tipping over the edge with a poignant but gentle bump before soaring to unimaginable heights, often paralleled by a double-tracked harmony line. As he sings of places, people, relationships, and more, conveying images and emotions with a natural skill and delight. (The excellent liner notes help set the scene with descriptions and origins of the tracks).

Along with his singing, Ho’opi’i adds a subtle but strong ukulele accompaniment. He is joined on the 16 tracks by his wife on vocals, steel guitar player Bobby Ingano, Led Kaapana on guitar (also a fine falsetto singer), and Chris Kamaka on bass. Sean Thibadeaux also plays guitar on two tracks.

The arrangements allow the small ensemble to develop the atmosphere on each song: at times, things are stripped down to basics as Ho’opi’i sings and strums alone; elsewhere, the entire band creates a full, rich sound, enhancing the multi-track vocal lines; but perhaps best is the moving interpretation of “Makee ‘Ailana” featuring Ho’opi’i, Kaapana, and Kamaka on vocals with guitar, bass and steel instrumental accompaniment, one of the most beautiful performances of one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

For some, falsetto is a very different approach to singing, perhaps not easy to get into. Richard Ho’opi’i is a fine exponent of the style and transcends cultural barriers. One can only admire his wide range and the emotion he puts into his music. For those who already know his work, this album will not be a disappointment; for those new to the style, there can’t be many better introductions.

Human Capital Consequences of Teenage Childbearing in South Africa

(April 2012) Women in South Africa have had fewer children on average since the 1970s, but the rate of teenage childbearing in South Africa has remained the same, at 54 births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 19. Similarly, the proportion of women ages 20 to 50 who experienced a birth before age 20 has declined since 1985 but remains historically high. Large numbers of young mothers are a cause for social concern in South Africa and other countries because of the adverse impact of teenage childbearing on the education and health of teen mothers and their children.

This PopPov network research brief highlights the findings from recent studies on teenage childbearing in South Africa, in which analysts examined the causal relationships between teen fertility, educational attainment, and health outcomes in urban and rural regions in South Africa. The studies use data from:

  • The Cape Area Panel Study, which examined the effects of teen motherhood on the education outcomes of women as well as health and educational outcomes of children born to teen mothers in metropolitan Cape Town.
  • The Africa Centre Study, which focused on the educational and health consequences of childbearing for black South African teen mothers in the rural KwaZulu-Natal region.

The PopPov Network makes research grants, supports dissertation fellows, sponsors meetings and workshops, and now provides an online space for the poppov research community. The goal of the network is to highlight the needs of the researchers, highlight state of the art methodologies, encourage and teach the next generation of researchers, and share ideas and communicate findings among the research community.

Mahesh Karra is a policy analyst in International Programs at PRB. Marlene Lee is program director, Academic Research and Relations, at PRB.

View Readings
Similar Reflections

mint condition?

"Whose likeness...is this?" —Mark 12:16, RSV-CE

We are like coins. The image of God was stamped on us at Baptism. We were sealed with the Holy Spirit at Confirmation. The image and seal proves to the world that God owns us.

Like cattle branded with the mark of their owner, people who saw the Roman coin could tell whose image was on it, and to whom it ultimately belonged. The Roman coin was stamped with Caesar's image. Therefore, Jesus said it ultimately belonged to Caesar and should be given to Him. By implication, Jesus says that we who are stamped with the image and likeness of God (Gn 1:27) must give to God what belongs to Him, our lives (Mk 12:17; 1 Cor 6:19-20). We must reflect God's image to the world and enhance His image by the quality of our lives offered for Him.

Coins are circulated throughout the world by normal human activity. Likewise, we who are stamped with God's image are to be in circulation by going out into the world (Mt 28:19) to be salt and light for Jesus (Mt 5:13, 14). Have we been so worn down that God's image is no longer visible to a world that unknowingly longs for Him? Or will we be in "mint condition" for the Lord so that all can see His glory shining in our lives?

Prayer:  Jesus, You are my Wealth (Phil 3:8). I spend my entire life in Your service. May all who see me praise You (Mt 5:16).

Promise:  "Happy the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commands."—Ps 112:1

Praise:  St. Norbert did not let becoming an archbishop stop him from living simply and humbly.
