Rep. Nolan Praises Advocacy Efforts of ACCC Members

Rep. Richard Nolan opens ACCC 42nd Annual Meeting

Congressman Richard “Rick” Nolan (MN-D) opened the ACCC 42nd Annual Meeting on Thursday paying tribute to ACCC membership. “I want to thank you for all that you do,” he said.

“You are part of the team that comes together to be there for people at the most challenging and emotionally difficult and troubling times in their lives. . . Thanks to the dedication and hard work of people like you so much progress is being made in [the fight] against cancer.”

In an ideal transition from ACCC Capitol Hill Day to CANCERSCAPE Annual Meeting sessions focused on policy and key drivers of change, Representative Nolan told attendees coming to Washington is critical, “I know it’s not easy, but it is so important because as a practical matter lending your voices, your knowledge, your perspective is unbelievably important.”

He spoke movingly about the impact of cancer in his own family. Congressman Nolan lost his father to cancer, and an aunt—who was an inspiration for his political career—also died from cancer at age 54.

Last January, he announced that his youngest daughter had been diagnosed with stage 4 non-smoking lung cancer. She is “a high spirited, very determined, and very, very health conscious young woman,” Nolan said. “Thanks to people’s prayers and advances in medical science she’s doing better. She is still with us fighting the good fight.”

His daughter’s struggle inspired Nolan to establish the Congressional Lung Cancer Caucus, along with co-founders Lois Capps (CA-D) and Frank LoBiondo (NJ-R).

Because nearly everyone has someone in their lives who has been touched by cancer, Congressman Nolan is optimistic that “we can find nonpartisan almost unanimous agreement to find better funding for the research needed to end this terrible scourge.”

Advocacy efforts such as ACCC Capitol Hill Day are critical he said. It’s important to tell your story because “no one can articulate need, challenges, potential to ultimately cure cancer [better] than the people in this room today.”

Stay tuned for Annual Meeting key takeaways.

Oral Parity: When Modern Medicine Outpaces Policy

By Leah Ralph, Director of Health Policy, ACCC

PillsACCC has been a longtime champion of oral parity, the legislative effort to equalize patient cost sharing for intravenous (IV) and oral chemotherapy drugs.

Oral oncolytics can offer a better quality of life for patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment, including less travel time, fewer work absences, often fewer side effects, and the convenience and comfort of at-home administration. For some cancer patients, an oral anti-cancer medication is the only option for treatment. Yet insurance coverage has not kept pace with medical innovation. Outdated insurance benefit designs continue to cover oral medications under the pharmacy benefit, which often means high, burdensome out-of-pocket costs for patients. (Traditional IV chemotherapy is covered under a plan’s medical benefit, resulting in minimal co-pays or no cost for patients.) This coverage disparity creates financial burdens for patients prescribed an oral anti-cancer medicine, leaving them less likely to adhere to treatment and often unable to fill their prescription. The number one reason a patient does not take his or her medication appropriately is cost. According to a 2011 study published in the Journal of Oncology Practice and the American Journal of Managed Care, 10 percent of cancer patients failed to fill their initial prescriptions for oral anticancer medications due to high out-of-pocket costs.

Progress at the State Level

We’ve come a long way in terms of state law. To date, 40 states plus the District of Columbia have passed oral parity legislation. These laws are not a mandate to cover oral chemotherapy, but rather require that if an insurance plan covers chemotherapy treatment, a patient’s out-of-pocket costs must be the same, regardless of how the therapy is administered. As a member of the State Patients Equal Access Coalition (SPEAC), ACCC has partnered with several state oncology societies—including Virginia, West Virginia, and Arizona in recent years—to pass oral parity laws, and this year we’re focusing our efforts on Tennessee and South Carolina. (If you are a provider in either of these states, and you’d like to be an advocate, email ACCC Director of Health Policy, Leah Ralph. ACCC participated in this new SPEAC video that helps to tell the oral parity story from the patient’s perspective.

Why Federal Legislation is Necessary

And even though a majority of states have now passed state-level oral parity legislation, federal legislation is still needed. A federal law would ensure that new cost-sharing restrictions are implemented consistently across the country, and that plans that fall outside state regulation, such as those covered under the federal ERISA law (usually large, multi-state health plans), must comply with the same equitable coverage requirements. In September, an ACCC member spoke at a Congressional briefing on the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act of 2015 (S.1566/H.R.2739), helping gain critical momentum to move the bill forward.

In a few weeks, at ACCC 2016 Capitol Hill Day on March 2, ACCC members will be walking the halls of Congress to talk with legislators about the importance of this bill to cancer patients and the providers who care for them.

ACCC encourages members to join our efforts, and continue to monitor opportunities to weigh in with your state and federal legislators. For more on this issue, look for an upcoming article to be published in the March/April Oncology Issues, “Exploring the Issue of Cancer Drug Parity.”

ACCC Advocacy Update

By Leah Ralph, Director, Health Policy, ACCC

U.S. Capitol Congress closed out 2015 with a bang, passing a number of large, end-of-year spending bills to keep the government funded through 2016 and several provisions that will impact ACCC members.

The omnibus appropriations bill (H.R. 2029) boosted NIH funding by 6.6 percent to $32.1 billion, the largest increase NIH has seen in 12 years. A separate package of Medicare provisions, the Patient Access and Medicare Protection Act (S. 2425) passed just before Congress adjourned for the year. This legislation created a blanket hardship exemption for meaningful use penalties in 2015, making it easier for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to review and process hardship exemption requests. (To apply for an exemption, physicians must apply by March 15, 2016, and hospitals by April 1, 2016.)

The Medicare bill also froze payment rates to freestanding radiation therapy centers at 2016 levels for two years, CY2017 and CY2018. It is important to note that the Medicare bill ultimately did not include a provision that would have exempted “under construction” off-campus outpatient facilities from an earlier law (the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015) that reduced Medicare payments to newly built or acquired hospital outpatient departments.

Before year-end President Obama signed both H.R. 2029 and S. 2425 into law.

As attention shifts toward elections in 2016, with divergent views on the future course of the nation’s healthcare policies, we are sure to see even more movement on policies that will impact the provision of quality cancer care.

I'm 6'4" and have a pretty rough time in most cars. When I was car shopping I tried loads of different models. There are clearly a lot of nice, affordable cars in Japan; like the Nissan March, Honda Fit and Toyota Passo, but legroom can be a big pain in the arse (let's not even mention K-cars).

So let's look at five solid options for tall people in Japan:

  1. Nissan Cube.
    Oh yeah, you know it! I love this car. The headroom is stupendous. I could wear a top-hat in this baby. It's also a beautiful car, despite maybe being aesthetically different to what Westerners are used to.
    The elegant curves of the 3rd generation in particular (inside and out) are really something. It's a good choice for a family car, too. In fact there is a version of the 2nd generation called the Cube Cubic which squeezes 7 seats into only an extra 20cm length over the regular 5-seater. I'm doubtful it's quite as roomy as the regular edition, though, and misses out on the excellent boot space (although you can take out two seats very easily and enjoy the bigger-than-usual boot).
    Anyway, I can't emphasise enough how much room there is in the front. The streeing wheel can be moved right up so that my legs don't even touch it getting in and out, and the dashboard is collosal - plenty of space for mascots etc, although the 3rd gen has done away with some of this in favour of sexy curves and cup-holders.
    It's a joy to drive, and effortlessly cruises through the narrow streets of my small town. Expressway driving is similarly enjoyable. Excellent car, try it!
    Price 300,000-1,300,000 yen used

  2. Toyota bB.
    Similar in many ways to the Cube, although not quite as roomy in the front. The front bumper extends forward in quite an aggressive fashion, and the manacing grill and box shaped bonnet rear up in an alarming way. Good for studs.
    The upholstery is fantastic. Sexy, sleek and comfortable. However the dashboard is very oddly designed. The speedomoter sits above the dash like a child's clock, and there seems to be a lot of wasted space.
    All-in-all, though, a decent choice, especially for those wanting a more masculine ride. And unlike the Cube, the boot opens in the classic upwards direction more suited to the tight spaces often found in Japan.
    300,000 - 1,600,000 yen used

  3. Toyota ist (Scion xD).
    PhotobucketA good choice, more attractive inside and out than the bB, though slightly boring in the dash area. Good boot space, but again has a slightly brash exterior when compared to my lovely Cube (okay, so the Pokemon version is pretty cool).
    400,000 - 1,500,000 yen used

  4. Nissan Note.
    PhotobucketAnother attractive offering from Nissan. Longer than the Cube but somehow less roomy inside. Lower head clearance, and the steering wheel is marginally lower set too, but still comfortable to drive. Plush interior. Costs a bit more than the other choices unless you get the older model.
    500,000 - 1,500,000 yen used

  5. Honda Freed.
    PhotobucketThe rich man's choice, the Freed is the updated version of the Mobilio (also a good one) and is a big car. Significantly larger than the Cube, and very spacious inside. However it has the gearshift on the dash which is just ugly. Very plush and new in other respects, though. If you have the money this is definately worth checking out.
    1,600,000-2,100,000 yen used

All-in-all you can't do better than the Cube if you're looking for something adequately sized for a decent price. There's plenty of room for me, and even if you have a few extra inches you should be fine.

Other honourable mentions go to the Subaru Dex, which seems to be an updated, more powerful version of the Toyota bB with an attractive interior, and the new Mini Clubman if you can find it in Japan (haven't tried it but it looks like a good choice).

Before I could finish my post on school lunches the other day I had to break for cleaning time.

Cleaning is a pain. Not because of my laziness, but because it's almost pointless. There are two stages - sweeping and wiping. The sweeping is fine, if not the most efficient way of removing the dust that gathers everywhere in Japan (with a broom that slowly disintegrates with daily use). The wiping, however, is a joke.

It's not limited only to schools. Companies, too, will break from their work schedule to dunk a filthy cloth in filthy water and then push it across a filthy floor.

Sure, no extra people have to be employed for what only takes 15 minutes of group effort, but surely a country as advanced as this one could come up with a better system. I force the sweeping to take extra long (I will gather the most dust in history today, even if most of it is bits of my broom) just to postpone the stinkhand that my stagnant cloth gives me.

Actually, recently I've managed to avoid the wiping all together due to the kids currently on duty in the teacher's room. 50% of my time is spent forcing them to clean properly.

Don't forget to don your tenegui; a pointless bandanna. Not sure why. It's the Japanese way.

As always, comments are welcome.

Payments & Financial Services

Payment Schemes

As the payments industry becomes ever more global, the role of the major card schemes have become more important.

For the card schemes themselves it is critical how they differentiate themselves to both cardholders and participating banks (and increasingly non-banks). And for those banks and others it is vital that they have effective interactions with the schemes.

Find out more about Payment Schemes

Payment card acquiring is now emerging as a potentially high revenue stream for those players that fully understand the business model.

Find out more about Acquiring

Issuing (Consumer)

Retail banks are under increasing pressure from legacy core banking systems and critical challenges posed by an increasingly digital society including continued pressure for operational excellence, increased competition from new entrants, customer disenfranchisement and increased regulatory scrutiny.

Ten Tips For Better Characterization

by Maureen Lang

1) Realistic, natural dialogue. Like a musician with an ear for notes, be a writer with an ear for conversational rhythm. Read your dialogue aloud to be sure it sounds like what you hear around you-only better! Real life might afford extraneous “ums,” repetitions, and unclear meaning but the written word allows only clarity and tight communication.

2) Dialogue can reveal background information, education, and how your character feels about him/herself—and others.

3) Character description. Your reader must know how to imagine your character, but it’s vital that descriptions be slipped in almost without the reader knowing it. It’s tempting to have them in front of a mirror, but how about something new? Another character referring to some unique trait your character might possess? Or an insecure-or prideful-thought about a certain trait? It’s worth it to come up with a unique way for your reader to imagine each of your characters, from the main ones to the supporting cast.

4) Action. What your character does, how he/she initiates action or reacts to the situation around them speaks volumes about who they are. Do they act selflessly or selfishly? Bravely or cowardly? Timidly or domineeringly? Intelligently or naively?

5) Motivation. Why is your character behaving the way they are? Remember: the stronger the action, the greater the motivation must be.

6) Contrast sharpens characterization. Two characters who sound or act alike will be difficult for your reader to keep apart.

7) Consistency. A carefully drawn character with indomitable strength will not wimp out—at least not unless you’ve foreshadowed a certain weakness and their moment of truth includes facing that exact weakness (i.e. Superman’s Kryptonite). On the other hand, if you’ve drawn a consistently timid character, you must build their backbone toward the capacity to act less timid for that out-of-character action to be believed. Your characters will be true to the nature you’ve drawn for them unless you give a really great reason to act otherwise.

8) Don’t forget body movements. Like doctors who know the science of the body, we must know the spirit of people to create life-like characters. Study those around you. Enhance your characters with detailed body movement: Direct or indirect eye contact? Slumped shoulders or rigid posture? Determined or shuffling pace? Body movements can reveal mood, too.

9) No character is too small. Remember, even the secondary characters must have a reason to be included, and if you’ve included them they should be unique and memorable, not cardboard, convenient, or commonplace.

10) Character arc. Make sure your characters grow and learn, so they’re capable of something at the end they weren’t capable of in the beginning.

Bonus tip: while we all strive to write unique stories, remember that if your characters are totally unfamiliar to the reader, they must at least deal with familiar emotions so your reader can identify/sympathize with them.

Maureen Lang writes stories inspired by a love of history and romance, and her books have finaled in the Christy, Rita and Carol. Her newest novel from Tyndale is set in New York City’s Gilded Age, Bees In The Butterfly Garden. She lives in the Midwest with her husband, children and Labrador retriever.

More About Me

I suppose this is where I should say that I'm bright, perky, outgoing, happy, interesting, etc. I live as close to the middle of nowhere as I can find, and I love to travel and do mission work (I'm at an Adventist clinic in Guam at the moment). I like to hike, bike, camp, race off-road motorcycles with my son, read the Bible, and pray. I preach occasionally and every sermon is the same, the great love of God that he would send His Son to die for us. I'd love to recreate the magic of those first years together as husband and wife. The joy of just being together, of reading the Bible together, of praying together, of talking big talk together, not just small talk. I'm in good health and not looking for a geriatric nurse. I have no intention of retiring and my retirement plan is to drop dead doing surgery when I'm 95. God bless. steve

Ask the Doc – QuikClot Question

I have a question about QuikClot – does it work and is it contraindicated for any type of injury?

Thanks,  Michael Z.

Hi Michael-

Thanks for your question about QuikClot.  In short: yes, QuikClot is very effective at speeding the clotting process.  It has been tested in numerous clinical trials and in real world situations involving military, law enforcement, and emergency first response personnel.  The formula that we use does not generate heat (like the “old” QuikClot) and thus will not leave burns on the wound site.

Also, because the mineral that constitutes QuikClot is chemically inert, contraindications are very rare.  The only injury in which I would recommend not using QuikClot is one immediately around the eye (in which there is a possibility that QuikClot will come into contact with the eyeball), since it is an eye irritant.

Please let me know if you have any further questions, and thanks again for your interest.

UK by private jet

Private jet charter to the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and each has its own character, as well as its own iconic cities and landmarks. A relatively small country, you can easily see a good portion of it in a couple of weeks if you charter a private jet to the UK.

London is probably the most iconic city in England, if not the UK, and for good reason. It is home to historic sites such as the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament as well as attractions such as the London Eye. There are also plenty of sports arenas, many art galleries and museums. Shoppers should head to areas such as Oxford Street, Regent Street, Bond Street and Carnaby Street, whilst those looking for music will find a plethora of venues around areas such as Camden. There’s also plenty of choice when it comes to food and lots of parks such as the renowned Hyde Park. But there is more to England than London. There are great cities such as Manchester and Liverpool further north, offering a whole new take on British culture with accents to match. There are also historic cities such Bath and York, landmarks such as Stonehenge, Hadrian’s Wall and the Giant’s Causeway and landscapes like the stunning Lake District, Yorkshire Moors and the beautiful coastlines of Devon and Cornwall. You can charter a private jet to England with Air Charter Service.

Scotland sits above England and whilst technically a part of the United Kingdom, it feels like you’re in a completely different country. Not only is the accent vastly different from those found across the UK, especially when compared to those in the South East, but the landscapes are far more rugged, with mountainous terrain and nearly 800 outlying islands. Historic cities include Edinburgh and Glasgow with the former home to a famous castle of the same name. You’ll also find plenty of Scottish pride and events such as Hogmanay, the Edinburgh Film Festival, T in the Park and Burns Night. The Scottish are proud of their whisky, and you’ll find plenty of distilleries to choose from. They are also proud of their food, with local favourites such as Cullen Skink, haggis and Scotch beef all featuring extensively on menus and offering a real taste of local cuisine. Scotland is also toted as the birthplace of the deep fried Mars bar, and many chippies will be happy to serve you one along with your traditional fish and chips. Why not charter a private jet to Scotland with Air Charter Service to really get to the heart of this beautiful area.

On the west of the UK you’ll find Wales, a place of rolling hills, deep valleys and plenty of history. The Welsh are proud of their heritage, and all signs offer both the English and Welsh names of towns. Welsh is also taught in all schools and you’ll often find locals talking to each other in their own language. The south east of Wales is the most urbanised, with the capital, Cardiff, and also Swansea found here. Cardiff has strong sporting and cultural aspects, with the Millennium Stadium in the city centre hosting plenty of football and rugby matches. Also in the city you’ll find plenty of beautiful architecture and some wonderful new developments such as the Cardiff Bay area and the St David’s shopping centre. Wales is also famed for its lamb, with a roast lamb dinner a must on any visit. You should also try some traditional laverbread and bara brith. If you’re a fan of the outdoors, Wales is home to both the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia, the former a beautiful national park, and the latter the largest mountain in Wales. You can easily charter a private jet to Wales with Air Charter Service to make the most of your time here.

Unlike the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland chose to remain a part of the UK and is famed for its stunning landscapes and scenery. Belfast is its most populous city and the second largest city in Ireland. Set at the mouth of the River Lagan on Belfast Lough within County Antrim, Belfast itself is in a state of constant evolution, with bars, restaurants, shops and hotels popping up throughout the city. With a collection of Edwardian and Victorian architecture, you can wander the streets with a camera and find plenty to snap away at. Less visited than Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, Glasgow offers a quieter, yet equally beautiful glimpse into the past with plenty of signs of what’s to come in the future. Also in Country Antrim is the North Coast, home to the iconic Giant’s Causeway, a must on any visit. Northern Ireland is also home to the County Armagh, County Derry, County Down, County Fermanagh and County Tyrone all of which offering outstanding landscapes. County Derry is also home to the city of Londonderry which is very popular, whilst County Down has the pretty university town of Bangor. Charter a private jet with Air Charter Service to Northern Ireland to make the most of the views from above, as well as from on the ground.

The UK in its entirety encompasses all of the above, plus much, much more. Book a private jet with Air Charter Service to the UK, and fly between each country ensuring you spend more of your precious time discovering what the UK has to offer.

Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality (5)

Monday, 09 October 2017 19:59

Benefits of a Humidifier in the Fall

Written by

Humidifiers have many benefits for your Michigan household in the fall and winter. The trick is finding the right balance of humidity. Dry air can trigger allergies, cold, flu, flaky skin and snoring (which is unhealthy for you – and whoever might be in the same room). The dry air in the fall and winter can also wreak havoc on your home. It can dry out wood structures and cause cracking and breaking, affecting both furniture and your home. To combat these problems, we recommend a whole house humidifier to ensure the right amount of humidity throughout the year.

The indoor air quality experts at AJ Danboise have put together a helpful list of the benefits a whole house humidifier can being to your home:

Replenish Dry Heater Air

In the winter, when you turn on your heater the warm air can instantly begin drying out the home. Along with the air - your skin, hands, lips, and eyes can all get very dry. The layered clothing that a Michigan winter demands, along with dry skin, can cause severe irritations. A whole house humidifier can add the necessary humidity to the air to add moisture and prevent some dryness.

Prevent Cold/Flu

With dry air your system has a harder time functioning, meaning your sinuses don’t drain properly – and lungs can become irritated and scratchy. A healthier humidity can help correct the drainage and dryness issues and in turn prevent cold and flu. Unfortunately, if you already have a cold or flu, you’ll need to rely on a doctor’s advice to cure it!

Alleviate Snoring

Snoring can be triggered by many different things - and dry winter air is one of them. Dry air can dry out your sinuses and cause breathing issues with certain people. If you already snore, this can exacerbate the problem which in not only a nuisance for others – it can cause severe health problems.

Diminish Allergy Symptoms

Just like spring, fall and winter come with their own set of allergies. The dry air from outside combined with your heater creates in your home, can aggravate any allergy symptoms you have and lead to complications such as sinusitis. Low humidity levels can make any sinus or lung issues worse.

Effects on your Home

Dry air can cause extreme damage to wood. Your home can be compromised structurally; cracking and warping can lead to a variety of problems. Cracks in doors and around windows can also raise utility bills, allow pet infestation and cause water leaks. If you have wallpaper in your home, it can also peel and crack. Wood furniture is also compromised – and should treated with oil-based solutions every winter regardless of humidity levels in your home.

Most Michigan homes already contain one or two portable humidifiers to combat many of the problems related in this piece. However, our dry winters demand a much more holistic approach when keeping the humidity at healthy levels. Portable humidifiers are great for bedrooms; especially for small children and people who have extreme allergy and sinus problems. But these units only cover single rooms and constantly need to be filled with water (and running) to ensure optimum efficiency. A whole home humidifier (coupled with your portable units) can help considerably with all the common problems associated with dry air. If you are considering installing a whole house humidifier, contact the IAQ experts at AJ Danboise. Call 248-236-5999 for a full assessment today!

How to Spot & Stop Poor Indoor Air Quality

Written by

Poor Indoor Air Quality Can be Detrimental to Your Health

Moving into a new house or renovating your current home can be an exciting time for many families. It signifies the start of a new journey and carries the challenge of making a house feel like a home. Unpacking is stressful on its own; the last thing you want to worry about is quality of your indoor air. Having poor IAQ can sometimes be a silent reason as to why you’ve been plagued with frequent headaches or irritation to the throat, lungs and eyes. If you are moving into a house or renovating your current home, you may need to identify the quality of your home’s air.

As we’ve mentioned in a previous post about asthma triggers, indoor air is often two to five times, and in some cases 100 times, more polluted than outdoor air. Because so many of us spend most our days inside, whether it’s because of work or school, this should be especially disconcerting. Poor indoor air quality makes way for a host of health problems, all of which can be detrimental if left untreated. Even though we’re surrounded by air, it’s invisible to the eye; therefore, it’s important to know which signs are indicative of poor IAQ:

The health effects of poor indoor air quality can range from short-term to long-term. While it’s easy to downplay many of these symptoms, make note of how often they occur as well as where in your house they occur.

  • Coughing
  • Watery eyes
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs
  • Asthma and other respiratory problems
  • Lung cancer

Why is my indoor air unhealthy?

So, you’ve connected the dots and now believe that you’re dealing with poor indoor air quality. Let’s get to the root of the issue. If you’re wondering why the air in your home is unhealthy, we can help you out. The best thing you can do for your home – and for yourself – is to have a certified professional complete a thorough indoor air quality test. Using advanced technology, we can determine the underlying issue and then properly begin the remediation. The American Lung Association has provided a detailed list of common indoor air pollutants:

  • Asbestos
  • Bacteria and viruses
  • Building and paint products
  • Carbon monoxide
  • Newly installed carpets
  • Cleaning supplies and other household chemicals
  • Cockroaches
  • Dust mites and dust
  • Floods and water damage
  • Formaldehyde
  • Lead
  • Mold and dampness
  • Pet dander
  • Radon
  • Wood burning
  • Secondhand smoke
  • Volatile organic compounds

How to Improve Indoor Air Quality

Sometimes it can be as simple as changing your HVAC air filter. It is important to change or check it at least every 30 days – especially if you have pets. Another way you can improve your IAQ is by scheduling annual maintenance for your heating and cooling system. Doing so will ensure proper ventilation and mitigate the presence of harmful contaminants.

Per the Environmental Protection Agency, there are three main strategies for improving your home’s IAQ: source control, improved ventilation and air cleaners. Here’s a look into the actions required of each strategy.

Source Control: To effectively treat the issue at hand, you will need to locate the source of the problem and either eliminate it or reduce it. For example, if you have a gas stove, the emissions can be adjusted.

Improved Ventilation: A cost efficient method for improving your home’s ventilation is allowing more outdoor air to makes its way indoors. You can do this by opening doors and windows, running the attic fan, or using kitchen and bathroom fans that exhaust outdoors. This is especially important to do if you’re completing home improvement projects such as painting or installing carpet.

Air Cleaners: In short, an air cleaner collects the polluted air and draws it through a filter where it is then cleaned and redistributed. There are numerous air cleaners on the market from which you can choose. Styles range from small table-top cleaners to whole-house systems. To determine the best system for your home, we recommend enlisting the help of a licensed professional first so that you know exactly what you’re dealing with.

How to Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Written by

Safeguard Your Family Against the Dangers of CO

What’s colorless, odorless, tasteless and has the capacity to harm or kill those who encounter it? If you guessed carbon monoxide, then you are right. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), each year 430 people die and approximately 50,000 people visit the emergency room due to carbon monoxide poisoning. This potentially dangerous gas, also known as a silent killer, is found in the fumes emitted by numerous appliances in your home such as generators, stoves, lanterns and gas ranges.

The good news is that there are steps you can take to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. When it comes to safeguarding your loved ones, it’s critical to always act with vigilance. Because carbon monoxide is quite literally out of sight, it’s easy for it to also be out of mind. Don’t let this happen! Follow these simple yet important safety tips.

Why is carbon monoxide dangerous?

You already know that carbon monoxide (CO) is colorless, odorless and dangerous, but do you know why it’s dangerous?

Here’s how the Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) puts it: Carbon monoxide is dangerous because, when inhaled, “it displaces oxygen in the blood and deprives the heart, brain and other vital organs of oxygen.” When large amounts of CO are inhaled in a short time, it can cause one to lose consciousness or suffocate. Other side effects include:

  • Tightness in the chest
  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Drowsiness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Confusion
  • Muscle weakness

Symptoms vary from person to person, meaning that you may experience only some of the side effects. People with health conditions are at a greater risk. If any of these conditions apply, you or a loved one may experience side effects sooner:

  • Young children
  • Elderly people
  • People with lung or heart disease
  • People at high altitudes
  • Smokers
  • Fetuses

If you seek medical attention in a prompt manner, poisoning can often be reversed. However, per OSHA research, while you may recover, acute poisoning may result in permanent damage to areas that require substantial oxygen such as the brain and heart. In some cases, it may also effect reproductive organs.

Tips on Preventing CO Poisoning at Home:

CO poisoning doesn’t happen often, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take precautionary measures to prevent it. Follow these general prevention tips provided by the CDC:

  • Do not heat your home using a gas range or your oven.
  • Do not park your car in a closed, or even partially closed, garage while it’s running.
  • Do not run generators, pressure washers, or gasoline-powered appliances in basements, garages or enclosed areas, even if a window or door is open. The only time it’s safe to run these in the specified areas is when they have been professionally installed and vented.
  • Make sure your vents and flues are free of debris.
  • Do not use a charcoal grill, hibachi, lantern, or portable camping stove inside a home, tent or camper.

Install CO Detectors:

Installing CO detectors throughout your home is an effective way to prevent poisoning from occurring. Follow the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) tips on installing CO detectors:

  • Install detectors outside each sleeping area and on every level of the house. The best practice is to interconnect all detectors so that when one goes off, it triggers the others to do the same.
  • Read your manufacturer’s guide on instructions for placement and mounting height.
  • Purchase a detector that’s been tested by a recognized laboratory.
  • Test your detectors once every month to ensure they’re working properly. If there’s a chirping sound indicating the batteries are low on power, change the batteries immediately.
  • Install new detectors every 5-7 years.

How to Treat CO Poisoning:

If you suspect that you or a loved one have CO poisoning, leave the premise and seek medical treatment immediately or call 9-1-1. Because symptoms often feel like the flu or food poisoning, one might not realize what’s happening.

Once in the emergency room, you may be given a mask to put over your mouth and nose and directed to breathe pure oxygen. If you’re having difficulty breathing on your own, a ventilator may be required to do the breathing for you.

Often, medical professionals will turn to a pressurized oxygen chamber as a treatment method. During this treatment, you will breathe pure oxygen in a chamber where the air pressure is two to three times higher than normal. Higher air pressure levels help speed the process of replacing carbon monoxide with oxygen. You will most likely undergo this type of treatment if your poisoning is severe or you are pregnant.

At AJ Danboise, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality service, which includes installing CO detectors. Should you need any assistance with installing your detectors or determining the best detector for your home, be sure to give us a call! We’re standing by to assist you in a friendly and professional manner.

For all your plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical needs, you can count on AJ Danboise! Schedule service online or by giving us a call at 1-248-236-5999.

How to Reduce Asthma Triggers at Home

Written by

Did you know that indoor air is often substantially more polluted than outdoor air? Per the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), your indoor air pollutant levels could be two to five times higher than outdoor levels. If that isn’t enough to cause alarm, perhaps knowing that in some cases, indoor air pollutant levels can be more than 100 times higher will. Since Americans spend nearly 90 percent of their times indoors, it’s no wonder so many people with Asthma can’t find solace, not even in their own homes. We’re here to help you locate those pesky indoor allergens and irritants so that you can get a handle on them and keep your loved one from having an asthma episode or attack.

If you’ve had an asthma episode or attack or have witnessed someone who has, you know precisely how scary it can be. Triggers vary from person to person, however, it’s important to cover as much ground when trying to mitigate allergens and irritants.

Treating Asthma Allergens

Allergens are substances that, when inhaled, swallowed, touched or injected, cause an allergic reaction, which can trigger asthma. Should someone with allergic asthma have contact with a bothersome allergen, their immune system will respond by releasing a substance called immunoglobulin E (or IgE), which can cause swelling in the airways if too much is released.

Six common allergens known to cause asthma episodes or attacks:

  • Dust Mites
  • Cockroaches
  • Pollens
  • Molds
  • Pet Dander
  • Rodents

Keeping your home clean and the allergens at bay will make your home a much more comfortable – and safe – place to be. We highly recommend talking with your doctor too, as they will be able to devise an effective treatment plan. You may only be sensitive to a few of the allergens, so you’ll want to allocate your time towards treating those.

Here are some helpful tips from the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (AAAI) on how to reduce indoor allergens:

Dust Mites:

  • Encase your mattresses, box springs and pillows in allergen-proof fabric covers or airtight, zippered plastic covers.
  • Wash your bedding weekly in hot water. You can also purchase allergen-proof bed sheets pillow covers.
  • Keep the humidity level in your home low with either a humidifier or an air conditioner.
  • If possible, remove wall-to-wall carpeting and replace with hardwood, tile, or linoleum flooring.

Pet Allergens:

  • Keep pets out of bedrooms and sleeping areas.
  • Vacuum often, and if possible, replace carpeting with hardwood, tile or linoleum flooring.
  • If you have a small rodent for a pet, clean their cage often as urine is the source of allergens from rabbits, hamsters, mice and guinea pigs.

  • Seal off all areas where roaches can enter your home. This includes crevices, wall cracks and windows.
  • If you have any water leaks in your home, repair them immediately, as roaches need to water to survive.
  • Hire an exterminator to complete a thorough removal of the insect.
  • Properly store away food items, including your pet’s.
  • Vacuum often, and if possible, replace carpeting with hardwood, tile or linoleum flooring.
  • Take out the garbage every day and keep counters clean. Don’t leave any dishes in the sink either.

  • Using water, detergent and a little bleach (if necessary), wipe away mold found in basements, bathrooms and anywhere with leaks. Do not mix this cleaner with any other chemical or product. Dry the area completely.
  • For areas with large-scale mold, hire a licensed professional to effectively remediate it.
  • Hire a licensed plumber to repair any leaks coming from your pipes.
  • Keep your home properly ventilated at all times.

Read these other resources for treating your indoor allergens:

Treating Indoor Irritants

 Irritants aren’t substances that you can be allergic to; however, they can still induce an asthmatic reaction by inflaming one’s airways. It’s impossible to eradicate irritants, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still take measures to mitigate them.

 6 common irritants known to cause asthma episodes or attacks:

  • Smoke from cigarettes
  • Air pollution – smog, ozone
  • Wood fires
  • Charcoal grills
  • Dust
  • VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) – found in cleaning products, detergents, paint, aerosols, etc.

Read Asthma & Allergy Friendly’s “Guide for Reducing Allergens and Irritants in the Home” for tips on improving your home’s indoor air quality. This brochure goes into great depth, explaining which materials are best to use when building or remodeling a home, which cleaning products are safest, room-to-room cleaning, and how to treat older homes that have asbestos and lead paint.  You don’t want to miss out on this incredibly beneficial resource!

Radon levels can soar during the colder months when residents keep windows closed and spend more time indoors. As many as 22,000 people die from lung cancer each year in the United States from exposure to indoor radon.

The EPA Administrator urges Americans to heed January as National Radon Action Month by testing their homes for one of the leading causes of lung cancer in the country, indoor radon gas. Approximately one home in 15 across the nation has unacceptably high radon levels; in some areas of the country, as many as one out of two homes has high levels.

EPA Recommends:

Test your home for radon -- it's easy and inexpensive.
Fix your home if your radon level is 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher.
Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk, and in many cases may be reduced.

Health | Why I Changed My Diet & 5 Tips on Changing Your Diet

I'm pretty much head over heels for just about all of these items!

Rare Editions Black Pageant Easter Paris Dress

Seriously, can we talk about having this dress made in adult sizes?  Because how freaking adorable is that!  I would wear it all the time.  Someone, find me some fabric and I'll get a-sewin'...

This is an awesome idea for people in tiny apartments (or college dorms, or efficiencies...hell, maybe even RVs...).  I would definitely buy this for myself if A) I actually cooked and B) I wasn't picky as hell about my coffee.
Again, if I actually COOKED I'd definitely pick this up.  A heart shaped casserole dish?  How can you go wrong?

The Basic Human Kindness Address Book

Although I don't really have a need for an address book (does anyone anymore?) I do love this cover.  I might just print it out and hang it on my wall.

That's all for now!   What are on your personal Real*Love lists right now?  C'mon...I know you've got them too!

mutedsiren said...

There are so many dresses that I see in the kids section that I want too. I so need to have a daughter someday.

My list includes an ipod car adapter, one of those things I've wanted for years and always tell myself someday when I have a spare $50, but that hasn't happened yet. Someday...Also, a flat iron to straighten my hair. Stat.

I love lists. Have you checked out It seems up your alley.

 Mexico court upholds abortion law | News | Al Jazeera

Mexico court upholds abortion law

Mexico's supreme court supports abortion in nation's capital.

    Following the supreme court's vote, judges said that no grounds remain to overturn the law [Reuters]

    Landmark decision

    The decision could open the door for other states in Mexico, the world's second-most populous Catholic country, to follow the capital's lead in relaxing laws that criminalise abortion, legal experts said.

    The judges found that Mexico's constitution did not explicitly guarantee the right to life of a fetus, and that the interests of the unborn had to be balanced with those of women seeking an abortion.

    The conservative federal government had challenged the law, backed by anti-abortion groups and the church.

    After three days of debating the issue, a majority of judges rejected their claim that the law - introduced last April by the capital's left-wing government - was unconstitutional.

    "The legal and social impact of this decision are undeniable," Guillermo Ortiz Mayagoitia, the president of the court, said.

    'Difficult services'

    Since the law was applied on April 27 last year, about 12,000 women aged between 18 and 29 have had abortions in 12 clinics in the capital, human rights groups say.

    Between 1990 and 2005, an average of 13 women died per year due to clandestine abortions in Mexico City, according to pro-abortion groups.

    The ultra-conservative Provida organisation said eight women had died per year.

    Since last April only one woman, aged 16, is believed to have died during an abortion, due to her doctor being misinformed about the length of her pregnancy.

    Throughout Mexico, states allow abortions only under limited circumstances, such as rape and incest.

    However, human rights groups say that in practice such abortions are difficult to obtain.

 Polls close in S Korean elections | News | Al Jazeera

Polls close in S Korean elections

Early forecasts predict a win for the ruling conservative party.

    The parliamentary polls come after Mr Lee's hard-fought presidential election.  [AFP]

    But low turn-out did little to hamper Lee's

    victory in a hard-fought presidential election.

    Polls predict a victory over the liberal opposition United Democratic party (UDP), but it remains unclear if Lee's conservative Grand National party (GNP) can secure an outright majority in the single-chamber legislature.

    He campaigned on a platform of economic reform and revitalisation - but needs control of parliament to pass the changes.

    The vote comes amid Lee's waning popularity due to a failure to immediately live up to his "get-the-job-done" image, and because of the resignation of several cabinet ministers on grounds of alleged ethical lapses.

    Difficult task

    "I'm asking many voters to take part in the polls," Lee was quoted as saying after casting his ballot in Seoul.

    "We also promise to do our best in conducting state affairs though it's difficult."

    Fearing a record low turnout of the 37.7 million eligible voters, the National Election Commission made an unprecedented move to offer discounted entry fees to museums, parks and cultural facilities.

    "[South Koreans] are sick and tired of the threat issue [from Pyongyang] … particularly in the election period"

    Ok-Ninn Chung, Seon Mun University

    The new parliament will start meeting on May 30 for a four-year term.

    Lee won the December presidential election by a landslide with pledges to introduce pro-business measures, boost ties with the United States and get tougher on North Korea.

    "The situation is not so favourable but I'll do my best in my job," he said in apparent reference to the global credit crisis.

    Lee, a former Seoul mayor and senior Hyundai executive, has been embroiled in a protracted verbal war with North Korea whom he said should first abandon its nuclear programme before getting economic aid.

    But Al Jazeera's David Hawkins reporting in Seoul said voters were more worried about the economy than the threats and insults from their northern neighbour.

    He said North Korea denied trying to sway the South Korean vote.

    Ok-Ninn Chung, a professor at Seon Mun University, told Al Jazeera that South Koreans were "sick and tired of the threat issue … particularly in the election period" since they have received military threats from Pyongyang for five decades.

    Voter concerns

    Jin Jeong-ahn, 64, a housewife in Seoul, said she voted for a GNP candidate because she believed it would help Lee run state affairs in a more stable manner.

    "I like Lee because I think he is an honest man with initiative and drive," she said.

    Park Jin, the GNP incumbent in Seoul, is being challenged by Sohn Hak-kyu, the UDP chairman.

    "I voted for Sohn as he is the opposition leader," Jung Ho, a 54-year-old barber, said.

    "We have to help Sohn maintain his dignity and check the Lee Myung-bak government."

    The GNP has called on voters to help the president carry out his economic plans by giving them control of parliament.

    Cho Yoon-seon, a GNP spokeswoman, said in a statement on Tuesday that Lee's government was only launched a month ago, and should be given a chance to prove itself.

    "It has been just a month since the launch of the Lee Myung-bak government, which the people chose to revive the nation's economy.

    "If we turn off the engine even before starting up the economic recovery, the Lee government can't take even one step forward."

 Turkey tries Kurds for rebel links | News | Al Jazeera

Turkey tries Kurds for rebel links

More than 150 people, including mayors, go on trial in Diyarbakir for alleged ties to Kurdistan Workers' Party.

    Hundreds of Kurds gathered outside the court as the trial began on Monday [AFP]

    More than 150 Kurds, including a dozen elected mayors, have gone on trial in Turkey for alleged links with a Kurdish rebel group.

    Heavy security was in place outside the courthouse in Diyarbakir, the regional capital of the mainly Kurdish southeast, as the trial began on Monday.

    Hundreds of people gathered outside the court in support of the suspects, as European rights activists and lawyers arrived in the city to monitor the case.

    The defendants are accused of crimes including "leadership and membership of a terrorist organisation", "undermining the state's unity", "spreading terrorist propaganda" and "aiding an abetting a terrorist organisation", according to a 7,500-page indictment.

    The suspects are said to be linked to the Kurdistan Associations Union (KCK), which prosecutors describe as a "terrorist group" that acts as the urban extension of the armed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).  If convicted, they face between five years to life in prison.

    Those being tried include Osman Baydemir, the popular mayor of Diyarbakir, who has publicly called for Kurdish autonomy. About 20 of the suspects are at large but are being tried in absentia.

    'Silencing Kurds'

    The trial comes at a time when the Turkish government has taken cautious steps to grant wider rights to the Kurdish community, which make up 20 per cent of Turkey's population. Turkish officials have also reportedly held secret talks with an imprisoned Kurdish rebel chief to try and end 26 years of fighting with autonomy-seeking rebels.

    But Turkey has also cracked down on Kurdish groups. More than 1,000 people are in jail on charges that link them to the PKK, according to the Peace and Democracy Party, Turkey's only pro-Kurdish grouping in parliament.

    For its part, the PKK has said the arrest of Kurdish politicians has made a political settlement of the conflict more remote.

    Defence lawyers and Kurdish activists have slammed the trial as a move to "silence Kurds".

    "Our clients are being tried as unarmed members of an armed group," Meral Danis Bestas, a lawyer, told reporters last week.

    "This is a political trial aimed at silencing Kurds... This trial will serve as a litmus test for Turkey's democracy and how it views the Kurdish conflict," she said.

    The trial is expected to last months because of the number of defendants. A special courtroom that can hold 500 people has been built for the proceedings.

    Diplomatic sources said the European Union is monitoring the trial. The European Commission releases its report next month on Turkey's progress towards meeting EU membership criteria.

    Last year, it criticised the use of anti-terror laws to prosecute people for expressing non-violent opinions on Kurdish issues.

Book Description

Distant Shores: The Odyssey of Rockwell Kent

Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) was an artist of extraordinary drive, talent, and versatility; he embraced life with exuberance. And though he was one of the most popular American illustrators of this century so much so that The New Yorker published the ditty, "That day will mark a precedent, which brings no news of Rockwell Kent" the controversies engendered by his socialist leanings, particularly during the McCarthy era in the 1950s, frequently overshadowed his artistic achievements. His major art was inspired by his extended stays in remote, sparsely inhabited and climatically harsh regions, most of them islands, to which his imagination was drawn for a mythic association with the mystical and marvelous.

Distant Shores captures Kent's great enthusiasm for the sea and mountains, and the relationship between nature and humanity. Produced to accompany a traveling exhibition of the artist's work, this handsome volume features eighty paintings, prints, and drawings, (more than fifty in full color) related to Kent's sojourns in the wilderness Maine, Newfoundland, Alaska, Tierra del Fuego, and Greenland. Included in this collection are works from The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg that have been unavailable to the public since the early 1960s. Kent's dramatic black-and-white illustrations for Herman Melville's Moby Dick the engravings that popularized his work in the United States are also featured.

The essays describe Kent's career as a painter, printmaker, book designer, illustrator, and prolific writer. Constance Martin contextualizes the work in the exhibition by providing an informative and insightful background of Kent's life and art. Richard West contributes fascinating details about Kent's childhood and early adult life, his mastery of the print medium, and his involvement with American political thought during the McCarthy period.
