How To Use- Always use a lubricant with a Masturbator to ensure a smooth slide over your penis without any friction. Apply ample amount of lubricant over your penis and insides of the Masturbator. Start by slowly inserting the head of your penis into the toy. Enjoy the tight sensations while your penis is being inserted into the toy. At this point, ensure that you are not facing any friction and that there is enough lubrication. Hold the base of the toy firmly while easing into it. At the entrance, it might feel a bit tight but you need to relax in order to let the toy expand to the girth of your penis. Once you have comfortably eased your penis into the masturbator, here comes the fun part. Grip the masturbator with your hand and begin stroking up and down the length of your penis Do not stroke it too vigorously. It might lead to the toy to slip off. For added pleasure, use your finger to close the other side of the masturbator to create stronger suction inside the stroker. Maintain perfect hygiene before and after using the toy.

UV Safety Awareness Month

With the warm sun blazing down all throughout the summer, it’s important to know how to stay safe from harmful UV rays. Powerful UV rays cause numerous damaging effects to the human body. Some of these effects include premature aging, skin damage, cataracts, eye damage, and even skin cancer. Although the sun beams may feel good, make sure to follow these guidelines to protect yourself!

Know When to Stay Away

First up, know when to avoid the sun. The strongest rays shine between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. During this time, it’s important to stay out of direct sunlight as much as possible because this is when the most damage happens. Even on cloudy days damage will still occur. It’s also important to remember that outside of these times, the sun is still damaging and powerful.

When there isn’t a big shady tree or roof cover nearby, an umbrella can be used. Even when walking in the sun, carry a sun protection umbrella to keep powerful rays away.

Stay Covered

A great way to stay protected is to cover as much skin as possible. Wearing long sleeves, pants, a wide hat, and sun glasses with 99 to 100 percent protection help to keep your eyes

and skin hidden from harm. When skin might be exposed, make sure to lather up in sunscreen at least 15 minutes prior to going outside. Sunscreen should be no less than SPF 30 in order to be the most helpful. Every 2 hours, it should be reapplied. Reading labels on all products used on your skin helps assure safety as well. Alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA) make the skin more sensitive to the sun so, they should not be in any products used when going out into the sun.

Staying hydrated can be lifesaving on extremely hot days. Water, coconut water, and watermelon are some of the best ways to stay cool and keep fluids in your body. Around half a gallon of water needs to be consumed daily to be fully hydrated. Adding freshly squeezed lemon juice to water helps make it even more hydrating and keeps water from being boring! Drinks such as tea and coffee should be avoided as they cause dehydration.

Skin Exam

Checking your skin regularly for changes in any moles or new spots is key. When something changes, be sure to go to a doctor as soon as possible. The sooner it’s caught, the easier it is to cure. Many dermatologists specialize in fixing sun damage done to the skin. Be sure to look over your skin daily.

By following these guidelines you can enjoy the sun while keeping yourself safe on warm days. Stay safe and enjoy the warm summer!

澳洲代写价格-技术设计的工作模式，该研究发现，仅仅将计算机的速度提高应用于为旧的和缓慢的技术设计的工作模式，很可能在提高生产率的方式上产生较少的产出(Paget et al, 2010)。工作流程重新设计在其个人权利上是一个复杂的问题，它本质上需要更多的时间，因为初始的历史是隐式的。从旅游业的行业的角度来看,显然是称为亲密熟悉客户的需求和喜好特别专业市场和加速的方法,这些需求可能迎合一个更高效的系统内较高的吸引力和用户友好性(汉森,2011)。例如，据报告，大多数公司将环境管理信息系统用于目的地开发，而技术创新是其旅游政策的核心。这些系统被用来管理资料和资源，从而节省费用。劳动力价格随着人工生产过程的开始而下降，因此在这种系统中，更好的办法是适应以技术为基础的创新。接下来有关澳洲代写价格-技术设计的工作模式分析如下：

Such a classification has also been utilized through researchers such as Jacob, et al, (2004), and has its basis over the report from services projects in innovation systems. This categorization is also same to the methodologies generally followed through the survey of community innovation over the sector of service (Paget et al, 2010).
Additionally, the Oslo Manual definition of innovation in firms is considered for distinguishing innovation in firms from non-innovative firms that is an innovative organization is an organization which has implemented at least individual system for innovation during the analysis period. This does not take into consideration the distinct types and degrees of innovative ranges even though quiet limitative.
With use of such methodology, the empirical evidence over the research question should be addressed in the most appropriate sense as is possible specifically.
As this study acknowledges that web based questionnaire was used to collect data, the research suffers from the disadvantage of not conducting face to face interviews (Orfila-Sintes, 2009). Therefore, the population group that was managed to be upheld and participate was small, only 10 in number. It is not possible to generalize this study over a larger group of people and the study does not offer any specific results for any specific population group for example German tourists or tourism policy of South Africa.
Also, questionnaires involve another limitation that the participants might not answer to the questions subjectively, because they do not wish to reveal what they actually feel.
Ethical considerations
This research has focused to ensure that while collecting data through questionnaires, sufficient information is provided to the participants so that they do not feel they are being duped. Information was also given to them on confidentiality of all their data and their privacy (Paget et al, 2010).

Further, it was found that apart from these challenges that are other factors such as technological factors, which influence the fact whether tourism organizations will be able to select innovation oriented tourism policy or not. There was 1 key factor identified which was technological factor (Rubalcaba, 2010). This can be supported through the following case examples collected, as secondary information source according to which the influence of technological innovation influence depends, generally not only over the inventors but also over the eventual users for newer technology and their innovative side.

Complaint Resolution at Airports and Airfields

Complaint Resolution is important for Airports

It is important to take seriously any Noise Complaints, or other Complaints about Aircraft, and handle them sympathetically and quickly.

Whether you think that the complainant is being reasonable or not, they have been inconvenienced to the point that they have been motivated to do something about it, so it is clearly important to them. Fortunately, most complaints are about a flight which is within the flight rules, or doesn't involve your Airport, and if the time is taken to discuss the problem sympathetically it can usually be resolved.

SPEED of RESOLUTION is imporant...  by the time someone phones you, they are angry...  and you need to get back to them quickly with answers before their anger builds on itself and they escalate the complaint... there will be a lot of paperwork to fill in once a complaint is in motion at multiple levels.

Aimm has mechanisms to remotely listen to radio calls up to the last few minutes at the Airport, make it possible to work out who was doing what, and usually why... which often satisfies the complainant. Because of Aimm's remote playback mechanisms, radio calls can be listened to on a mobile device, which makes for quick investigation without needing a visit to the airport after hours.

MODERN AIRCRAFT are getting a lot quieter, but they still make much more noise than motor vehicles. Complainants usually accept that the Airport is providing an essential service (one that they use themselves), and they're not asking for it to be shut down... they just want some change made so that it affects them less.    This is often possible,  but even if not it will help the situation by listening carefully and doing your best to resolve it.

Part of a Dashboard Report...

Airport Noise complaint activity graph

This part of the monthly 'Dashboard' Report shows that activity in the airspace has
decreased by 15% overall, but the night activity has increased by 26% since the same
month last year. Has someone started carrying out night training that is upsetting the
neighbours? Does there need to be a curfew, or a night surcharge on landing fees to encourage night
flights to be limited to what is absolutely necessary? With this level of reporting the Airport
manager can 'drill down' to make effective decisions from a position of knowledge.

How to handle Complaints about Aircraft?

The Aimm Team have helped many Airports handle Noise complaints over the years, including one where an aggrieved neighbour organised a local group to try to get the Airport shut down.    This was handled successfully, the neighbours are now supportive of the Airport, and it has had very few complaints since.  From these experiences some strong pointers have emerged on how to deal with the complaint, investigate and respond.

Initially, listen to what the complainant says and get specific details of what is annoying them, and assure them that you do realise it is causing a problem and WILL investigate, and will get back to them soon with some answers.   They will initially assume that they are going to be 'brushed off' and once they realise that this is not the case, it takes the emotion out of the situation.   A general statement like, "An aircraft flew right over my roof last weekend just missing the trees"  or "The noise drives me mad"  don't give much to go on, so ask the complainant to take note and write it down next time the situation occurs, and give you the exact details so that you can investigate.

It helps to have a Complaints Form available for them to note details:   "A Black Helicopter flew over my roof at 10:56 on Saturday 23rd heading north"  lets you listen to the radio calls for a few minutes either side of 10:56 to see who it was and what they were doing...  usually it then becomes obvious why they were low.  Tell the complainant that you will investigate carefully, and ask them to keep a written log of events for you so you can follow it up to find out exactly what was happening, why, and what can be done about it.

--- Usually the log shows the complainant that the problem is not nearly as bad as they think...  the 'noise all weekend' may just be 30 seconds of noise on three occasions.   Once the complainant is asked to be specific and keep a log, and they realise that they are being listened to and will be taken seriously,  many complaints solve themselves and you don't hear back.   If they do get back to you with the log you should investigate, and get back to the complainant quickly.

Investigating Noise and other Aircraft Complaints.

Listen to the Radio Calls for 10 minutes either side of the time of the event complained about.

--- In many cases the event will be a  Rescue Helicopter attending an accident, or other emergency event.  Rescue aircraft fly at unusual times and altitudes and generate many complaints from those who don't know what is happening.   Complainants will drop their complaint immediately in these cases, and often apologise for troubling you.   Both you and the complainant will be happy with this result, and they won't be nearly as quick to complain again.

--- If the problem is flight training, skydiving, gliding tugs, aerobatics etc, you can ask the pilots involved to vary the flight path as much as possible so the noise footprint is spread.   Propellor planes with high performance engines sometimes take off with the prop tips moving faster than the speed of sound, which creates a very loud and annoying whine...  they can be asked to throttle back slightly once in the air to get the prop tips below the critical speed, which greatly reduces the whine for a minimal affect on aircraft performance.    These types of operational problems should be referred to the Airport Safety Committee for advice from experienced aviators, who will also know how to advise pilots of their recommendations.

--- If it happens that nothing can be done about the noise, just the knowledge that you've taken it seriously and considered all the options will make a difference... the major problem is often that the complainant feels they are being ignored, as much as the noise itself.

Noise complaint data graph

Another part of the 'Dashboard', showing that this the first three months
of this year will have generated less noise than the same period last year.
Having this kind of detailed data available will assure compliance officers (though
not necessarily the complainant) that the noise has not increased.

How does Aimm help with Complaint Resolution?

Aimm greatly assists resolution by making all the pilot radio calls immediately accessible.   It records and archives every radio call on the airport radio frequency, not just the revenue generating calls.  They can be played back from anywhere by authorised airport staff members, from any device that can access the Internet and play a '.wav' file (most can).  Usually just listening to the radio calls from the time of a reported problem will make the cause immediately obvious, and the solution obvious too, leading to a quick resolution before the aggrieved person involves more of their neighbours.

At one Aimm Client airport, an annoyed local resident phoned to complain

"One of your planes is flying up and down the river at very low level and is frightening my horses, I want this stopped immediately and you'll be paying any vet bills..."

which immediately became

"I'm sorry to have troubled you"

when the Airport manager was able to listen to the radio calls from a few minutes ago on his home computer, and get back immediately to the complainant with,

"Unfortunately that is a Coastguard Plane searching for a child who has fallen into the river."

The Aimm reports, with every movement listed, can be retrospectively analysed to identify the times, days of the week, and frequency of various activities.  If a flight training organisation is pushing the neighbour's tolerance too hard it might be necessary to say, "no circuit training after 9pm" or similar.   Having the ability to analyse all movements (Touch and Go and Takeoffs in addition to Landings), gives the full picture and the ability to make informed decisions as to the solution.  "Good numbers make for good decisions.".

Aimm provides a cost-effective system that enables complaints to be investigated, and resolved quickly before they escalate. Plus Landing Fee Billing, Management Reporting, Regulatory Compliance Reporting, Risk Management and Funding Data.

How to know if Aimm will meet my Airfield / Airport's needs?

Have a chat with the Aimm Senior Management, who are Airport Managers themselves.   Each Airport has its own specific challenges and opportunities, and if  Aimm can provide better assistance than your current movement monitoring method, try it and see...   Aimm does not require a committment or set length contract, and any Client can discontinue the system anytime without penalty.   We get very few who do not continue and the Aimm system is able to stand on its own performance.

About Balearic Islands

The Balearic Islands are located off the eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain. The four largest islands are Mallorca, Minorca, Ibiza and Formentera. The archipelago forms an autonomous community and a province of Spain, the administrative city being Palma de Mallorca. The total population is just over 1,000,000.

The Balearic Islands benefit from regular ferry services to mainland Spain, the gateways being the cities of Barcelona and Valencia and the resort town of Dénia on the Costa Blanca. There is also a network of inter-island services, with Mallorca and Menorca both having more than one gateway.

Most ferries carry a combination of both tourist and freight traffic but some are dedicated to the carriage of freight traffic only. However, some services (especially those inter-island) are operated by catamarans and other high-speed craft that may not accept all types of freight vehicles.

Pragmatism rules in China relations

Australia is not being swept up by America's anxious agitation at China's rise.

During its first three months, the Abbott government seemed to be veering towards a hard-line policy on China. The government suddenly baptised Japan as our "best friend in Asia", then called Japan an "ally". We went further than any like-minded nation in reprimanding China when it declared an Air Identification Defence Zone (ADIZ) over disputed islands in the East China Sea.

These gestures may have reflected some residual cold warrior instincts or some US-derived prejudice against China's rise. Or they may have simply been early missteps by a new team.

Either way, from early 2014 the Abbott government reconsidered. In May 2014 when tensions between China and Vietnam flared over the South China Sea it simply called for restraint all round.

Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Australia was a triumph for both countries.  Andrew Meares

Then there was a still more significant signal that pragmatism not ideology would shape China policy. In June 2014 then-defence minister David Johnston declared on Lateline that the ANZUS treaty probably didn't apply in the event of conflict between China and Japan in the East China Sea. This sent a strong message that Australia was cleaving to neutrality on the neuralgic territorial dispute.

Last week's decision to join the China-sponsored Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank – in the face of reports that President Obama had lobbied the Prime Minister against it – confirmed that Australia was not being swept up by America's anxious agitation at China's rise.

Australia's economic interests are clear enough. In mid-2014 the annual value of our exports to China soared above $108 billion. That is 2.1 times that to Japan, our second trading partner. Yes, China's growth is down to 7 per cent. But this "new normal" is generating more billions each year than an 11 per cent growth rate in 2005. China will recruit 850 million more citizens to middle class status by 2030. That market is crucial to Australian living standards, especially as the Japanese population – our number two market – is locked into shrinkage.

Tony Abbott's new sinophile instincts might have bubbled too merrily when he enthused about President Xi's commitment to democracy in his speech to the Australian Parliament. But the Xi visit was a triumph for both sides. It wiped away any memories of critical editorials in the Global Times about the government's early hard-line, even outweighed the social media attention to our Prime Minister's praise of Japanese submariners.

The visit seems to have impressed on Chinese public opinion that Australia was a good friend, certainly one deserving an FTA and a "comprehensive strategic partnership". Zogby shows 76 per cent were aware of the FTA, 81 per cent believed we welcome closer economic ties.

The biggest challenge in entrenching these gains is the strategic one.

Australia is entitled to buy its submarines from whoever offers the best deal. But a decision to go to Japan without a rigorous evaluation of European options looks like a strategic statement – and one made at the insistence of the US which, as it happens, would fit out Japanese subs.

The US may want to edge Australia into a trilateral arrangement to support Japan in any showdown with China. Of course, this may not be a considered US strategy, or a particularly high priority. It should nonetheless be a goal of Australian diplomacy to let down gently both Japanese and Americans if this is, in fact, a serious expectation.

In the meantime, former defence minister Johnston and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop can take satisfaction in Zogby's finding that 35 per cent of Chinese business elite have formed the view that on Senkaku/Diaoyu islands it's the Chinese side we're on anyway; and the Australian community generally that among Chinese business leaders goodwill towards us runs so strongly.

Grand Egyptian Museum opening shifted to 2021

The Grand Egyptian Museum is now expected to open in 2021, not at the end of 2020. Originally the project was due to open in 2013 but construction and funding problems delayed the much-awaited opening and now the covid-19 pandemic has delayed it once again.

Summer jobs for young people not as common

Issue Date: July 7, 2021
By Kevin Hecteman

Where have all the summer jobs gone? Or the teenagers and college students who used to fill them?

Siskiyou County hay farmer Brandon Fawaz says there's been a shift from years past.

"I haven't hired a high school or college kid for probably five years now," he said, noting his employees are "for sure all older."

Tom Ikeda, who grows vegetables near Oceano in San Luis Obispo County, said the shift has been years in the making. Working the fields, he said, used to be a summer job for high school students, but a transition occurred in the 1970s and by the 1980s, "that became a lot more rare."

Federal jobs data bear out the farmers' observations. The average age of all hired farm employees in the United States rose from 35.7 to 41.6 years from 2006 to 2019, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service. That was driven largely by employees born outside the U.S. as fewer young immigrants entered the farm workforce. The average age of U.S.-born farm employees was 39.5 years in 2019, up from 35.7 in 2006, USDA reported.

Ikeda said he believes young people nowadays simply don't have as much exposure to farm life in their families or communities, given that only 1% to 2% of the U.S. population is now engaged in production agriculture.

"Back when I was growing up, the community was heavily involved in agriculture or the support industries," Ikeda said. "Because of that, I think agriculture or ag-support jobs were much more prevalent, and it was more a part of your life growing up."

Because very few people today remain in agriculture or have ties to the farm, he said, those job opportunities are not as readily available and aren't on the forefront of younger people's minds.

Fawaz said he thinks higher wages is not the issue, as he pays above the minimum. He noted most of his employees have worked at his operation for five to 11 years, and one employee has more than 20 years of service.

"I think there's just a philosophical change in what people today feel like they need to do in order to survive," Fawaz said. "And I think everybody knows that through various means, there is definite safety nets that will keep them from starving and being homeless. So the perceived need is just less than it used to be."

Summer hires, if there were any, would be engaged in irrigation work and running farm equipment.

Fawaz said he used to have teenagers as young as 16 run machinery and bale hay, but it would be "tough to legally do" today.

"If you wait till they're 19, they're already a step behind what we're used to in the world," he said, adding that skills he used to find in 16-year-olds now appear to be lacking in many 18- and 19-year-olds today. It's tough to teach people who are older how to drive a manual transmission, he said.

"Those T-shirts that are a joke about the manual transmission being an anti-theft device—there's some truth to that now," Fawaz said.

Fawaz and Ikeda are familiar with summertime wor: Fawaz launched the hay-hauling business as an FFA project in high school that evolved into his present operation, and Ikeda is a third-generation farmer who grew up in the family business.

The dearth of summertime job seekers is part of a larger trend—one only slightly interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2020, Ikeda said finding enough employees wasn't as big of a problem because the pandemic did not shut down agricultural businesses, which were considered essential, though people in other impacted industries such as hospitality were looking for jobs. This year, that has changed, he said, with last year's prospective employees looking for whatever they could get.

Ikeda noted that last year, he had heard of several young, college-educated people looking to make a change in their career consider jobs in agriculture because the sector is essential.

As businesses reopen, however, the chronic shortage for employees has returned, and people can "pick and choose the job," Ikeda said.

"It just seems like overall there aren't as many people looking for work in the ag industry," he said.

Fawaz said he's given the issue a lot of thought but has no easy answers.

"I think that there has to be a fundamental shift in people's mindset of having to work in order to survive," he said, noting the effects of the pandemic.

"Who would have ever thought the government could tell you to close your business and then [say], oh, we'll pay you still something to be closed?" he asked. "There is no perceived and maybe even actual need to work in order to survive."

Calling attitudes toward work a "cultural change," Fawaz said he's adapting by adjusting hay-bale sizes.

"When I was 25," Fawaz said, "if you'd asked me what the greatest hindrance to me growing my farm business would have been, I would have said without a doubt it's access to capital."

Now? "I could access capital and borrow myself into an oblivion now, that I don't know how I'd ever dig out of, without a problem," he said. "I can't hire the labor."

The Regulations apply to all commercial agents undertaking activities within Great Britain unless the parties have agreed that the law of another member state of the European Union is to apply. Accordingly, most agents operating in the UK are protected by the Regulations, irrespective of whether or not the agency agreement is in writing.

Even though there is not a formal written agency agreement between you and your principal, there is still in place an agency agreement. It could be that there is a letter of appointment and other correspondence recording the terms of the agency. If there is no such documentation, there will be in place an oral agency, the terms of which will have been established by a course of dealing.

The Regulations operate so as to imply into the agency agreement certain terms. These include terms about:

  • the duties owed by you to your principal and by your principal to you;
  • when commission becomes due to you and when it should be paid to you; and
  • what your rights are on termination of the agency.

It is possible to exclude some of these terms by providing for this in the agency agreement. In an oral agency agreement, these terms are unlikely to have been excluded.

It depends. Your agency contract may for a fixed term (ie, ending on a definite date), in which case the contract can normally be expected to run for that entire period. The parties may, of course, agree to vary the term of the contract if the correct legal procedures are followed. A premature termination by one party of the contract is likely to have serious consequences and will, in most cases, allow the other party to sue for breach of contract, claiming damages for any losses suffered.

If the agency contract is for an indefinite period (or is a fixed-term agreement which has been converted to an ongoing contract), then either party may terminate it by notice in accordance with Regulation 15 of the Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations 1993 (as amended). The minimum periods of notice are 1 month each year (or part year) of the contract up to a maximum of 3 months’ notice. Unless otherwise agreed, the contract must terminate at the end of a calendar month. The parties can agree that longer periods of notice will apply, but the period to be given by the principal must not be shorter than the notice to be given by the agent.

If the principal does not give the correct amount of notice under Regulation 15, then it will be liable to the agent for the commissions which would have been earned during that period, and must make a payment to the agent in lieu of giving notice.

This will depend on how much time has elapsed since termination. If you are a ‘commercial agent’ as defined in the Regulations then the Regulations will apply to your agency relationship whether or not you were aware of them prior to termination. However, Regulation 17(9) contains an important limitation: it states that an agent “shall lose his entitlement to the indemnity or compensation….if within one year following termination of his agency contract he has not notified his principal that he intends pursuing his entitlement”.

This provision is strictly applied. Therefore, if one year has not elapsed since termination, you should notify your former principal in writing as soon as possible and request a written acknowledgement. You are not required to provide any details of the claim at this stage. Once notification has been given, you could have up to six years from the date of termination to bring your claim. However, I would strongly suggest that you pursue all claims without delay, otherwise you run the risk of, for example, your principal becoming insolvent or vital evidence being lost or destroyed.

Note that this one year limitation does not apply to other claims you may have against your former principal, whether under the Regulations (for example for pre-termination or post- termination commission) or at common law.

The issue of the principal’s liability to pay his agent in circumstances where the principal has not been paid is one of the most complex under the Regulations.

A distinction is drawn by the Regulations between commission accruing and becoming due. Ultimately the principal is not liable to pay commission to the commercial agent when the principal has not been paid by the customer and this is due to the customer’s default.

In contrast, if the principal has not been paid because of making a short or late delivery or as a result of delivering defective goods, the principal is still liable to pay commission to the agent.

When involved with the termination of an agency agreement we will explore with our client whether payment has been made of all commission that should have been paid. Often this is not the position. The consequences for both principal and agent can be considerable. We have been involved in a number of cases where “back” commission of this nature has amounted to many £0000’s.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO attaches great importance to the biodiversity of food crops and environmentally friendly agriculture. This should help stop the loss of species and varieties and promote the preservation of plant-genetic resources (PGR). Furthermore, biodiversity is maintained for future generations through cultivating numerous different varieties of different species.

This is where AGES plays an essential role in preserving biodiversity and, thus, an intact environment. Maintaining a gene bank for agricultural crops enables AGES to promote the preservation and use of plant genetic resources counteracting the loss of species and varieties.

AGES Receives 5,000 Gene Bank Samples

AGES is making an important contribution to preserving biodiversity through its gene bank for agricultural crops, officinal and aromatic herbs. The national catalogue at provides information on this and other Austrian gene banks.

Farmers, herders must register or get expelled ― Ekiti govt

Ekiti govt approves N60m housing loan for TESCOM staff

Ekiti State government has given farmers and herders another two-week window to register with the state government or be ready to leave the state.

The two-week grace begins on Sunday, March 22. In February, the state conducted a two-week registration of farmers and herders, but not all those involved seized the opportunity.

Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Dr Olabode Adetoyi, said in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday that the exercise was expedient to ensure that all farmers and herders could be accounted for.

He added that the registration was also aimed at ensuring peace between the two groups and bringing incessant clashes between them to an end.

He noted that the exercise was in consonance with the National Livestock Transformation Programme of the Federal Government.

Dr Adetoyi observed that clashes between farmers and herders posed dangers to human and food security, hence the need to take proactive measures to curb the menace.

Special Adviser to Gov. Kayode Fayemi on security matters and chairman, herders-farmers peace committee, retired Brig.-Gen. Ebenezer Ogundana, warned in the statement that whoever failed to register would be treated as a criminal.

Such persons, he said, would be compelled to leave the state.

Director-General, Office of Transformation and Service Delivery, Prof. Mobolaji Aluko, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that identity cards would be issued to registered farmers and herders free of charge,

Instagram is singlehandedly the coolest player in the social media club.

It’s the perfect outlet for all photographers and visual imagery junkies. From breathtaking nature shots and craftsmanship highlights to city exploration and foodie photos, it’s the one stop shop where you can feed and completely satisfy your visual appetite.

Instagram hasn’t always been known as a profitable player in the social media space for the business community. However, with recent changes, it’s ramping up to be another great opportunity for all brands to engage further with their audiences and hit home through great imagery and compelling marketing.

So if you haven’t already, take the first step—dive in and make a profile.

It doesn’t matter what you’re selling, what your mission is, or what industry you’re in, Instagram is a place where any organization or brand can start reaching people in a more unique and provoking way that leads to an increased brand loyalty.

After you’ve created your profile, choose what you want to promote in the space. If you’re selling or promoting a product or service, figure out whether your audience responds best to examples and showcases of it or if they interact better with posts that are centered on the results and benefits of the product. Try out different approaches over the course of several weeks to see what results in the highest engagement.

You can also play around with behind-the-scenes shots of your organization and test them against more photos that focus on what the organization actually does. Depending on your mission, your audience may feel more compelled by seeing your people in action versus preferring to see the result and the impact of your work.

After your profile is set up and ready to go, start interacting with your audience.

Instagram is a place where it’s absolutely imperative that you interact with your audience on a daily basis, no matter what industry you’re in. Followers will flock to your profile because you’ve already made them feel valued and important through your interactions on their accounts.

Identify key people in your industry that could become fruitful brand ambassadors or advocates for you and start showing them some love. You can also benefit from networking with other business and organizations like your own. Analyze their audiences and follow key people in their following to pull that demographic to your own profile. Once users start noticing you, make sure that your profile is set up to impress them.

As with Twitter, don’t underestimate the power of the hashtag. With Instagram being the hot thing that it is, more and more people are turning to it as a discovery tool, following their favorite hashtags to find photos of all their favorite things. And unlike Twitter with its limited character counts, you can use multiple hashtags on Instagram to cover all your bases.

Invest in useful tools to stay on top of your Insta game.

Because Instagram is so mobile focused, it can be hard to find really deep analytics on your audience habits, optimization rates, and engagement trends. For now, check out Iconosquare. Through Iconosquare, you can see exactly when your audience is on Instagram and compare it with your posting habits. The results may surprise you! Adjust your posting strategy to coincide with times when your audience is guaranteed to be on the platform.

You can even review your growth patterns, analyze your community and manage your profile through Iconosquare.

Instagram also recently partnered with Hootsuite to allow for integration in the popular social media manager. Since Instagram continues to fight a strong battle to stay strictly mobile, the integration isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Hootsuite works almost identically to

After scheduling a photo, Hootsuite or, whichever you prefer, will send you a push notification through the mobile app at the scheduled post time. You’ll have to open the app and hit “post” on the specific scheduled photo. Doing so will open the photo in Instagram, but you’ll still have to paste the caption in.

The benefit? You get a mobile reminder and you don’t have to type in the caption. The downfall? You still have to pause in your workday and complete the post manually. Plus, you have to make sure that you’re logged into the correct account before you hit post in Hootsuite or If you’re more of a simplistic soul, stick with—it’s easy, straightforward and simple. If you prefer to have more functionality and think you could potentially have scheduling needs for other platforms, try out Hootsuite.

At its core, Instagram is a glorified bragging platform. It’s the perfect place for you to brag on your employees in creative ways or show the impact of your organization through stunning art and photographs. No matter what age or demographic your audience is on Instagram, they are there for one purpose—to get a visual art high.

But the benefit of having a stunning Instagram account doesn’t stop there—if done well, your posts will lead to people feeling inspired and awed by the beauty and impact of your work or life. That awed and inspired feeling leads to engagement and advocacy. Those coveted actions lead to brand loyalty and that’s when you know you’ve hit the jackpot.

Shift-Work-Play: understanding the positive and negative experiences of male and female shift workers to inform opportunities for intervention to improve health and wellbeing

Main Article Content

Shift work, nurses, survey, co-design, gender

Objective: Our primary study aims are to (i) examine positive and negative aspects associated with shift work, and (ii) identify any gender differences that exist in a healthcare workforce. A secondary aim of the study was to identify opportunities for intervention, particularly in males given they have greater exposure to shift work across the population. Background: Shift work has been associated with detrimental physical and psychosocial outcomes in many studies; however, there has been little consideration of any positive perceived aspects associated with shift work. Additionally, while there has been less consideration of gender differences in medical settings such as nursing where there is a higher proportion of females working shifts. Study design and methods: Our study utilised mixed-methods, comprising a cross-sectional workforce survey given to both shift workers and non-shift workers (N=1398), and a co-design workshop aimed at male nurses, in order to identify opportunities for intervention among this group. Results: Shift workers were more likely than their non-shift work counterparts to report poorer overall health, to have higher levels of psychological distress, and to engage in greater levels of unhealthy behaviours (e.g. higher alcohol consumption, and greater levels of smoking), with these differences highest in male shift workers. Discussion: Analysis of the shift work experience revealed that the majority responses were negative (affecting sleep, diet, exercise, mental health), however one-in-five statements were positive with flexibility, and the ability to engage with services highlighted. Examining both positive and negative elements is important for providing a balanced insight into shift workers’ lives, and to inform targets for improving their health and wellbeing. Conclusion: Through identifying positive and negative elements associated with shift work it is possible to intervene to minimise the negative elements, and maximise positive elements. Our analysis highlights the importance of considering gender differences in both individual and organisational-level responses. Implications for research, policy, and practice: To effectively address the negative aspects of shift work, interventions at multiple levels involving both organisations and individuals that simultaneously target multiple outcomes (sleep, diet, exercise, opportunities to connect with peers) are likely to be more effective than individual measures alone.

What is known about the topic?

  • Shift work is common across many different industries, and is an integral part of the nursing profession, where nurses and midwives make up almost 50% of the worldwide shift working workforce.

  • Shift work has been associated with negative impacts on individual physical and psychological health and performance outcomes such as increased error rates.

What this paper adds:

  • This study confirms that shift work is associated with negative impacts however there are positive elements associated with shift work and these include flexibility and financial benefits.

  • Gender differences were apparent with risky alcohol use, higher smoking rates, and poorer health noted in males compared with females.

  • Our co-design workshop identified the potential for a holistic response based on the three pillars of health: sleep, diet and exercise as likely to be more effective than an intervention addressing only one of these domains.

Authors Discuss How to Pay for Telehealth in Managed Care in AJMC Publications

The main barrier to widespread use of telehealth isn't technology or consumer acceptance; it's figuring out how to pay for it. Authors writing for The American Journal of Managed Care and The American Journal of Accountable Care discuss why today's payment models for accountable care organizations are a better fit for telehealth, and why regulatory changes make sense.

Authors Discuss How to Pay for Telehealth in Managed Care in AJMC Publications

For IMMEDIATE RELEASEDecember 29, 2014

PLAINSBORO, N.J.—A proposed rule from CMS could unleash the potential of telehealth to improve care for seniors with chronic conditions, if the agency lifts a barrier to paying for its use.

Krista Drobac, writing for The American Journal of Accountable Care, addresses the CMS proposal in her article, “Telehealth: An Important Tool in Achieving the Goals of the ACO Program and Why Restrictions Should Be Lifted in Final ACO Rule,” Ms Drobac’s is one of a pair of articles in December editions from The American Journal of Managed Care franchise that address the need to lift barriers to telehealth for accountable care organizations (ACOs), entities that were created by Congress as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

In “Paying for Telemedicine,” a commentary in The American Journal of Managed Care, author Robert Rubin, PhD, writes that traditional fee-for-service models may not be appropriate for telehealth, as they could permit overuse. But newer models, and specifically those designed for ACOs, could allow the practice to expand, benefiting patients and producing savings. He cited a study of 3,000 congestive heart failure patients that received home monitoring of weight, blood pressure, heart rate and other measures. Readmissions—a key CMS metric in the ACO era—dropped 44%, saving $10 million.

Dr Rubin also noted that one of the largest government healthcare providers—the Veterans’ Administration—uses telehealth extensively, even though regulations limit its use among Medicare recipients to those in rural areas.

Ms Drobac’s article, which reflects the very recent CMS proposal, outlines how a longstanding Social Security provision limits telehealth’s use. However, she writes, ACA permits CMS to amend the rule to expand telehealth in ACOs, which makes sense today. Leading peer-reviewed journals are publishing more articles on how telehealth can be used to reach patients who have congestive heart failure, COPD, or have suffered strokes, which Drobac notes are common in the Medicare population.

“Overall, the findings demonstrate that telehealth enables providers to reduce unnecessary in-person care (emergency care and preventable inpatient admissions), while increasing patient access to timely primary care. Telehealth also allows providers to connect patients with appropriate specialists and coordinate care across clinical settings,” Ms Drobac wrote.

Current Clinical Landscape and Managed Care Approach in Multiple Myeloma - Episode 9

Making Informed Treatment and Coverage Decisions in Multiple Myeloma

Steven Peskin, MD, MBA, FACP: [What is managed care’s role in referring patients into clinical trials?] We have talked with organizations about working with them, collaboratively, to advance patients appropriately into clinical trials. We’re not specifically an organization that’s focused on enrolling patients in clinical trials. Those are certainly considerations for private practice oncology groups, certainly very much in the ethos and the fabric of academic cancer centers and National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers. We’re looking to advance, through data analytics, information that can help our clinical partners to make better clinical decisions, but we’re not in the clinical trials world per se.

Targeted therapies in hematologic malignancies have been transformative [in the treatment landscape]. The CML example that’s used all the time, where a very targeted-specific therapy that addressed a certain defect, the Philadelphia chromosome, really fundamentally changed that disease and moved it into a chronic condition much like diabetes, or asthma, or something like that. And, there are other examples. In the realm of multiple myeloma, there have been some very important and exciting breakthroughs that are tied to specific therapies for specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms. So, that’s certainly something we’re very sanguine about, and look at from a medical policy standpoint.

[There is a] broad array of treatment options in multiple myeloma, and they certainly are increasing. One of our very important roles, as our work with our clinical partners advances and deepens in a truly collaborative way, is to provide an analytic overlay. Some of that can be complementary to what the clinical organizations are doing, and sometimes, it’s very distinct and unique to our data set. Then, we can offer (for example), information to primary care around their medical neighborhood—so, [let them know] which oncologists, cardiologists, urologists are practicing more and more value-based care. That can be a way for that primary care office or organization to determine where she or he wants to send referrals. Now, we’re talking specifically about cancer. Similarly, we’re involved in certain analytics that will help to identify and perhaps, predict—this notion of predictive analytics. Again, we’re working to harmonize our data analytic efforts with our clinical partners, and cancer care is certainly one of those areas.

In not only multiple myeloma, but also in non—small cell lung cancer, and in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (so, really in most areas of cancer), immunotherapy and targeted therapies will play or occupy an increasingly important and prominent role. It’s certainly part of what’s a very exciting construct of the Cancer MoonShot 2020. We’re going to be accelerating the science and the knowledge to better and more precisely target or treat particular types of multiple myeloma. Not all multiple myeloma is the same, so that’s where we see some very exciting possibilities. We certainly feel like, as a payer, that we’re at the forefront in that regard.

God’s Wisdom, Counsel and Understand

Job 12:13 (ESV) … “With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding.”

Job describes the scope of God’s power. He points out God’s wisdom (Job 12:13) and says no one can change God’s work (v. 14). He speaks of God’s supremacy over several areas: the weather (v. 15), earthly leaders and authorities (vv. 17–21), light and darkness (v. 22), and the nations of the earth (v. 23). Job emphasizes the destructive nature of God’s power, which is a direct contrast to Eliphaz’s speech on God’s power (5:9–14). [1]

With God, wisdom and strength dwell permanently. He is not wiser or stronger at one time than at another. Time and experience add nothing to the perfection of his attributes, which are unchangeable. Such wisdom infinitely transcends any to which man can attain and therefore is doubtless the wisdom whereby the world is governed. Consequently, He hath counsel and understanding. God has these qualities as his own. They are not acquired or imparted, but belong to him, necessarily and always. [2]

We can trust in God’s wisdom. Solomon tells us, “we must trust in the LORD with all our heart; and lean not unto our own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct our paths.”

Refreshing Distinct - Living Holy

1 Peter 1:14–16 (ESV) … 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

Everything associated in an intimate way with God is to be holy. This will include the Lord’s Day, the Lord’s house, which is the sanctuary, and God’s Word, the Bible. These things are all holy because they are associated in a special way with him. So the same principle must apply to his people. God’s people must be distinct and separate people. As Stuart Briscoe says: ‘To be holy … is not to be stale or sterile, but rather to be refreshingly, distinctly different.’

This injunction is not an option; it is essential. It is not even an ideal to be aimed at; it is a goal to be achieved. Just as ignorance and sin are characteristics of the natural man, so obedience and holiness must be the characteristics of the spiritual man.

It is the calling which places an obligation upon us. It is, if you like, part of the requirement of being invited into membership of this exclusive society.

It should not surprise us that this kind of purity is at worst mocked and at best misunderstood outside of the church. There, the tendency is to compare your standards and lifestyle with that of others. That rule of thumb has no relevance when you belong to the family of God. God is utterly different and distinct, and this is to be the characteristic of his people. ‘For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son.…’ (Rom. 8:29). ‘The supreme purpose of redemption is to make men holy,’ says Andrew McNabb.[1]

Project Yourself into the Future

Last night after a delicious dinner with friends, the conversation steered into life decisions and the practice of projecting oneself into the future.

Visualizing my future self in 1, 5, and 10 years is an exercise I've been doing for over a decade and will keep doing because it gives me a sense of direction.

When I review my notes, I'm often surprised how close I've come to my original vision. Maybe I’m guilty of crafting a narrative with the benefit of hindsight but I think the visualization exercise plays a part.

Visualization seems powerful because by repeatedly honing on a vision my brain internalizes it and subconsciously steers me into that particular direction.

And the beauty of this is that it doesn't preclude serendipity and randomness. The details matter less than the direction.

The point is not to map everything in detail and turn on the autopilot.

It is about being mindful of one's decisions and current life.

Four years ago I didn't know I was going to end up living in California, working at various startups, and even marrying!

But by projecting myself 5 years into the future, I understood that I didn't want to carry on with a Ph.D. in Computer Science and I didn't want to stay in the UK.

Visualizing your future self and constantly reviewing your vision is a great mechanism to understand if you're living your best life yet.

And much like Jeff Bezos’ regret minimization framework, I can't recommend it enough.

Blog Series: Understanding the 5 Principles of the Alexander Technique - Part 5

In this five part blog series, I explore and break down the five principles of the Alexander Technique in depth (and in order!:)

The five principles of the Alexander Technique are in order:

1. Recognition of the Force of Habit

2. Inhibition and Non-Doing

3. Recognition of Faulty Sensory Awareness

4. Sending Direction

5. The Primary Control

This post will focus on the fifth principle: The Primary Control (click the links above if you missed the proceeding articles in the series.)

In a way, the primary control is what the Alexander Technique is all about. It was F.M. Alexander's big discovery...and it goes a little something like this...

The primary control is the dynamic head-neck-back-feet relationship in the body that organizes the overall direction of the body. For good or for bad, we all are using our primary control every second of the day, but we are seldom conscious of it.

So what is the optimal relationship for the head-neck-back-feet?

Alexander discovered that when the head at the atlanto-occipital joint releases forward and up in relation to the spine (rather than being contracted and pulled backwards and downwards), it allows the spine to lengthen, the back to widen, and arms and legs to free, and the whole body to oppose gravity with expansion and lightness.

This relationship in the body is present in all vertebrate animals. When we are quite young, our primary control naturally works well. And as we get older, we begin to give into the force of gravity and collapse the body. Then it is time for a tune up with an Alexander Technique teacher!

Drawings taken from "The Alexander Principle" by Wilfred Barlow

It is the primary control because it is the relationship in the body that holistically impacts all others. And it is control because a good or bad use of the primary control will determine whether the other parts of the body are being used well or not.

For example, I have many students who come to me with repetitive use injuries, such s tennis elbow or tendinitis. There is an injury to the smaller muscles of the arm. But instead of looking directly at the arm as the root cause, we look at the overall use of the self and the primary control. If the whole weight of the head and back is consistently collapsed on the arms when you are attempting to make your tennis serve or play your instrument, then there is no way you will be able to achieve the level of freedom and release from pain in the smaller parts of the arms.

From the front cover of BMJ 337 (2008)

The primary control is directed consciously with a set of verbal and physical impulses. The verbal directions for the primary control are as follows, and they are given in order, as well as perceived to be happening almost simultaneously (that is how fast these impulses happen along the spine):

-Allow the neck to be free

-For the head to release forward and up

-For the back to lengthen and to widen

-For the feet to send to the floor

These directions should be repeated throughout the day as we engage in varying activities.

There is ample scientific evidence outside of Alexander's work that supports the importance of this relationship in the body. Similar concepts of alignment can be found in many Eastern and Western somatic practices, as well as physical therapy and modern medicine. Where the Alexander Technique tends to differ, however, is the emphasis that the head leads and impacts the entire use of the rest of the body, and that all of the parts are working together holistically.

The primary control really is about the use of the self, the entire mental-physical-emotional self, that can be indirectly impacted by having a free neck and releasing the head forward and up. It i s one of the most important discoveries of the last century, and one of the most empowering tools for self-development, healing, and the raising of consciousness that I have ever experienced.
