Eviction is a way to get a tenant out of your rental property at the demand of the landlord. The laws for eviction vary from state to state, but the main point is that the landlord is the property owner, and they have a right to request a tenant to depart the property for many reasons. Some of the conventional reasons for eviction include. The number one reason is usually unpaid rent, breaking lease terms, illegal ruckus, regularly late rental payments, no written lease, demolishing the property and so on. These are not the only reasons that a landlord can file for eviction, but these are the reasons that occur most frequently. As a landlord, these are the situations that you should be prepared for and become most happening with because they are the most common.

Once you comprehend how to mediation once these situations, you will be enlarged equipped to handle any eviction business that arises while you are doing business. Landlords might usually notice themselves obtaining annoyed with eviction guides, that provide you with solely general data instead of data that are specific to your location. It is not that evicting a tenant different is improbably completely different than eviction in the other state. However, there are some distinctive things that you only need to know.

If you do not apprehend the correct procedure on the way to evict somebody, you would possibly end up wasting time, money, and motive on a longer-than-necessary eviction method. Instead of resigning yourself to that fate, learning regarding the eviction procedure before you would like it is a sure way to shielding your investment. Even if you are here as a result of you wish to evict somebody and do not seem to be confident wherever to start, you are creating the correct choice by obtaining a lot of in-depth information. Let us dive into this relaxed and instructive guide for a way to evict a tenant.

There are many different kinds of notices that landlords will serve tenants, relying upon the reason for eviction. An eviction notice should first be, and therefore the tenant should have did not follow, pay, or vacate at intervals the desired timeframe. This should happen before the owner begins the eviction court method by serving you an “unlawful detainer” eviction lawsuit, known as a Summons. This can be not a whole list. However, the most common eviction notices to vacate are:

The 3-day notice to pay or quit

The 3-day notice to perform covenant or quit

The 3-day notice to quit for waste or nuisance

The 30-day notice to terminate tenancy (a “no cause” notice)

The 60 Day Notice to Quit or Vacate (a “no cause” notice)

These notices are indicate that the owner goes to initiate an unlawful detainer action against you if you are unable to respond at within the closing date. According to California  CCP 1162, the owner should try personal service of the eviction notice (give it to the tenant personally) or the owner could leave it with another person of appropriate age and discretion who resides there. Or if nobody of proper age and choice is there, post it on the door, provided it is also sent within the mail. If the notice is denoted on the door and sent within the mail, do not count the day it within the timeframe. Weekends are enclosed within the notice days. Your landowner could in personally deliver the notice to you. It does not be provided by the law officer or notarized to be valid. There could also be a short amount at the very starting of the eviction during which tenants will discuss directly with their landowner to prevent the eviction. It is essential that any agreement you come back with your landowner be in writing, signed and dated by each party if possible.

Renting out property is regarding quite simply finding somebody willing to live in your rental. It is regarding finding tenants who can have an honest relationship with each you and your property. If you do not choose tenants fastidiously and learn the way to envision eviction records, you will be put your entire business in danger.

If the residency you would like to finish is for a longer than one year, then an American state mostly thirty Day Notice is going to be used. It is informed talk over with an attorney before embarking on evictions, particularly those with unusual circumstances.

Ionospheric Tampering, Climate Change is from Electromagetic Manipulation Not Carbon

Staff Writer, Nathaniel Diaz
Weather Modification / ELF

A fascinating read for anyone who has the time. It is highly recommended:

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is currently the most important facility used to generate extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic radiation in the ionosphere. In order to produce this ELF radiation the HAARP transmitter radiates a strong beam of high-frequency (HF) waves modulated at ELF. This HF heating modulates the electrons’ temperature in the D region ionosphere and leads to modulated conductivity and a time-varying current which then radiates at the modulation frequency. Recently, the HAARP HF transmitter operated with 3.6GW of effective radiated power modulated at frequency of 2.5Hz. It is shown that high-power ELF radiation generated by HF ionospheric heaters, such as the current HAARP heater, can cause Earthquakes, Cyclones and strong localized heating.

Google+ What I Made Today: This & That & A Realization

Sunday, July 20, 2008

This & That & A Realization

In clearing the freezer for this year's impending harvests I discovered 10+ pounds of blueberries from last season. There is a story there. One involving a lost mead-making "bible" and grand reluctance on my part to act without it. I realize now that loosing that resource has given me a new lease on brewing mead, wine and ales . . . for now I do it much as I cook - from a place innate knowing, place of pure intuition. So today, I thawed those blueberries with about 5 pounds of rhubarb . . . I brewed some strong tea, simmered two banana and squeezed the juice of one lime, measured our sugar and water . . . and thus began a new batch of wine.
Sprouting garlic went into a blend of infused vinegars to make a super-infused vinegar (and to use up last year's batches). Already it smells divine.
And I played with a bit of collage and watercolor which manifested in these sweet silly creations.
That's just a bit of what I made today.

7 Ways to Ensure a Safe Work Environment for the Sex Workers

The working conditions are very bad posing health risks to the sex workers and the clients. Steps should be taken to improve the situation.]

The new law passed in 2014 by the conservative government on the sex industry has criminalized sexual services in Canada. This law has created a huge impact on the work environment of the sex workers.

Though it is illegal to have sex for money, the sex industry is still operating on hidden grounds. It is forbidden to have sex in a public place or even talk to clients in public. Brothels and other places are prohibited. There is no policy or regulation to control the health standards and work environment related to this job.

So, the sex workers have to compromise the working conditions all the time. Here are some ways to provide a safe work environment for the sex workers.

New regulation in place

The Sex Work Regulations 2016 promotes the safety of the sex workers. It ensures the protection of sex workers from health risks, violence, and exploitation. The regulation will ensure the health and safety of the sex workers.

Safe working place

The brothels should have communication devices and hidden alarms to ensure the security of the sex workers when they are providing service. If the sex worker feels unsafe to work, she will have the right to stop working immediately.

Providing necessary supplies

The sex workers should be given free condoms and lubricants. This will ensure safe sex and so there will be less risk of sexually transmitted diseases.

Keeping the workplace clean

The used condoms should be safely disposed of. The bedding of brothels should be clean. There should be clean towels available and after every service, the premise must be cleaned thoroughly to reduce the chances of any infection.

Preventing sexual assault

Many sex workers become victims of sexual assaults. Whenever they feel threatened by their clients, they should be able to call law enforcement for help.

Treatment for injury

There should be a medical team so that if an injury occurs while giving sex service, it can be dealt with immediately. Compensation should be provided to workers if they get injured.

Monitor drug usage

The alcohol and drug use should be monitored. Consumption of too much alcohol or drug may lead to violence and sexual assault.

The sex workers are vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections. Also, complications like unintended pregnancy, abortion, violence, etc. are common in the sex industry. Awareness for practicing safe sex should be promoted. The workplace for sex workers should be healthy and clean. The brothels should have the proper license to operate and they should meet the safety work standards. Workplace inspections should be conducted regularly to ensure that the workplace is safe for the sex workers.

Can Access Control System Prevent Frauds In The Office

There are additionally some issues connected with utilizing an access control system and also among one of the most typical is when an unauthorized private follows an additional that has been given accessibility to a specific area. This is typically known as tailgating and also other dangers such as this can be maintained at bay by laying down particular protocols and also guaranteeing that the system is constantly working successfully.

One of the much more preferred type of technology made use of in a gain access to control system is biometrics. It is identified as so due to the fact that it utilizes distinct attributes of a person such the fingerprint and also retina. And because everyone will certainly have distinct patterns for these, it is an exact way of ensuring that just certified individuals are given access to particular locations in the building or facility.

An access control system could likewise function well together with a surveillance system to further enhance the level of protection in your structure or center. Bear in mind that this is an important part of your inner control as well as it ought to help ensure that your procedures proceed with as little troubles as possible. It will certainly also offer you peace of mind that your personnel are doing their work with full sincerity.

With a gain access to control system mounted in your building or facility, you must have the ability to effectively take care of the access as well as departures factors in it. It could also enable you to manage that gets to specific areas and also stop any type of unauthorized entrance. Not only is it excellent for boosting the protection of the building or center but also its personal privacy as well.

Accessibility controllers are normally either stand-alone or network-based systems. Stand-alone devices have all the information as well as required parts to be utilized on its own, while networked-based systems have a user data source to ensure that the qualifications of individuals could be inspected appropriately. The credentials made use of to gain access could be a keycard, crucial fob, password/passphrase, or unique individual functions such as finger prints.

With the assistance of an access control system, it would likewise be feasible to hire much less manpower for safeguarding entry as well as leave factors in a structure or center. Gain access to control technology also supplies an effective means of monitoring time-ins as well as breaks of employees. With this setup, it makes it easier to decrease the incident of fraud, especially since there is very little hands-on treatment.

It is very important to obtain a basic suggestion regarding the components that comprise a gain access to control system– the physical obstacle, the access controller/reader, and the credentials. Entry and leave factors such as doors and entrances are secured with the physical obstacle as well as the most usual are electronic locks. Gates located on bus terminals and also train terminals often take advantage of turnstiles to safeguard entrance/exit points.

In the past, entrance and leave factors are secured with different kinds of physical locks, yet the trouble with these is that the secrets used with them could quickly be copied. Using electronic gain access to control modern technology, access can be granted using a terminal that accepts passwords, passphrases, or PIN. This gets rid of the have to bring physical keys that are at risk to obtaining shed.

Spent the week on the happiest place on earth

Animal Kingdom! Look at all the cute things we saw there.

Epcot - Japan was our favorite!

Hollywood Studios was so much fun. I braved myself to ride Tower of Terror even though I was crying and closed my eyes during the whole thing I had so much fun!

The most magical part was having Chris in my life to share all these fun experiences with. We had dinner at the Lady & the Tramp's restaurant Tony's. I died when the waitress was giving us our menus and said "For the lady and one for the tra-- Sir"

I've ALWAYS wanted to see Disney World for as long as I can remember. My older siblings told me we went once but I was only 1 years old! I did not recall this memory at all and was so sad my parents took me when I had no way of remembering or enjoying the trip like my brothers & sister did. When we moved to America I was 10 and was excited with the idea that Disney would be in my backyard. Years and decades went by and I still didn't get a chance to go until now! What a way to start the New Year, am I right? I'm so thankful for my boyfriend Chris for making this life long dream come true. I hope everyone is having a magical day wherever they are!

I wore so many beautiful things. A lot of them where thrifted from Poshmark.

Oh THAT Deserves a Proclamation, Yer Honor

Be with you in a second...just making a bet with myself that the same folks who claimed, at volume, that Bloomberg's Big Gulp ban made him Hitler on the Hudson will rise in full-throated defense of the Littlest Billionaire over this:
Mayor Bloomberg: NYPD ‘Stops Whites Too Much And Minorities Too Little’
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg defended the police department’s controversial stop and frisk program during a radio interview on Friday morning, and complained that the NYPD was stopping too many white people.
Bloomberg's money shot:
"One newspaper and one news service, they just keep saying ‘oh it’s a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group.’ That may be, but it’s not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the [crime]. In that case, incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little. It’s exactly the reverse of what they’re saying. I don’t know where they went to school, but they certainly didn’t take a math course. Or a logic course."
The statistics are overwhelming. An independent study of the city’s stop-and-frisk program found that 87 percent of the 685,724 stops in 2011 — a record high — were of blacks and latinos. Young black men between the ages of 14 and 24 were stopped 106% of the time — as in, there were more stops of young black men than the entire population of young black men.
"I'm very pleased and honored by this... Wait a second...This Proclaims me an asshole!"

Anyway, it's all academic now.  Under pressure from a civil suit filed against the NYPD and the Bloomberg Administration, the Mayor has directed the Police Commissioner to replace the controversial stop-and-frisk with a new program: stop-and-frisky.
Under this new system, adopted from a successful program introduced last year in Britain, subjects detained by police may not be searched without probable cause, but may be required to spontaneously "frolic, caper, or gambol." Statistically, most people take this as a cue to dance, according to Metropolitan Police Service spokesperson Brince Funnelwidth.  "Some people go low impact, of course; just do The Robot, or Prancercise.  But most choose to get jiggy with it, especially if they've got some Belgian New Beat or speedcore on their mp3 player. Irish stepdancing is the most effective for dislodging weapons and contraband of course, particularly the Treble Hop Back move, but really any high energy dance style is sufficient to provide an officer with probable cause.  One constable told me about a subject who performed a rapid series of stag leaps and chaînés that sent concealed bags of meth flying as far as six, seven meters away."

British police point to polling which suggests the public actually prefers the new program to being frisked.  "It's less invasive," says Sergeant Funnelwidth, "And allows more room for self-expression.  It's been such a success, in fact, that most members of the public now leave their homes dressed to move, and with a two-minute song prepared."

Some lawyers concerned with civil liberties point out, however, that stop-and-frisky has actually led to increased racial profiling.  Statistics show that minorities were involved in 91% of all stops, whites in only 6% (the remaining 3% involved stops of bollards, mannequins, and Nelson's Column by constables who were "more than ordinarily drunk"at the time).    Funnelwidth concedes that Stop-and-Frisky has not eliminated all problems of ethnic bias, but believes the disparity has been overstated by plaintiffs' attorneys, and even echoes Mayor Bloomberg's belief that Met officers stop far too many whites.  "Have you ever seen them dance?  It's bloody awful, mate."

ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...

Finally...a police program I can support!

Kathy said...

The NY police should hang out around Wall St, and stop & frisk all those brokers and bankers.

Frank said...

Some people see Bloomberg as intelligent. This is the man who said " "It's not only to protect Americans. It's America's responsibility to protect people around the world who want to be free." Yeah, right. Tell that to the hundreds of thousands dead, innocent civilians. Every war the US is involved in is ultimately about one thing only: money.

Carl said...

I see so many kids in Bensonurst and Bay Ridge being stopped and frisked, it's true

Zahia Dehar’s Pastries Must Be Delicious

July 4, 2013 | celebrity | editor | 0 Comments

Zahia Dehar‘s story is a unique one, truly an example of the American dream, except for the fact that she has nothing to do with America. At the age of 17, Zahia was a prostitute in France and became the center of a huge sex scandal involving players on the French national soccer team. At the time, the players faced huge fines and jail time if they were convicted of sleeping with a prostitute younger than the legal age of 18, and it was a huge distraction for the team as it went on to its worst World Cup finish ever.

But nobody cares about that shit, because Zahia became a star and went on to launch her own successful lingerie line, and this week she debuted her Sexy Pastry Shop in Paris. Unfortunately, she did not jerk off an éclair and spread the cream all over her chest, but that would have been a pretty solid marketing idea.

Bread Upma - Morning Mood Booster

If you are bored with morning routine of  'Bread and Butter', you should definitely try this to spice up your breakfast.  This colorful, spicy and savory item can be a booster breakfast or a 'rev up' evening snack. Whenever you have it, it leaves a flavorful taste in your mouth for a while. This is a quick snack fix for the busy bees out there (Oh Yeah! People like me :-) ).

Multi Grain Bread Slices  - 2
Chopped Onions - 1/4 cup
Chopped Tomato - 1/3 cup
Chopped Chillies - 1 tea spoon
Cumin Seeds - 1 tea spoon
Chopped Green Onions - 2 table spoons
Tomato Sauce (Ketchup) - 1 table spoon
Soy Sauce - 1 tea spoon
Fresh Lime Juice - 4 to 5 drops
Canola Oil / Vegetable Oil - 2 Tea spoons

1. Put Your non-stick pan on the stove and lit the flame

3. Add Chopped Chillies, Onions and saute them  for 2 min and add the soy sauce

6. Chop the Bread Slices in equal square pieces. (I prefer to leave the edges/crust on, so that it adds little crunchiness to the dish, if you want it softer and don't like the crust and remove the edges and cut them into squares). Add the sliced bread pieces to the mixture in the pan
7.  Mix it well and gently with out breaking the bread pieces and not mushing them.

I have altered this recipe by adding soy sauce and green onions which gives it Manchurian looks and adds Chinese flavor to it. I have used 15 Grain Bread which makes this little crunchy (than soft and soggy) and does good to your heart too.

Hint: If you have noticed I haven't used any salt in this recipe because there is enough sodium in the soy sauce and ketch up. If you want to add salt you can add it after step 5. But I don't want you to, Salt is the primary culprit for all the health issues. It is up to you, if you still want to use it.

In urban regions, they have cable, dsl and just about each and every type of Web service there is. For these of us rural, we’re fortunate if we have any service at all. All the wonderful announcements about the fantastic high speed wireless internet in rural Ottawa are masking the situation that Xplornet is not delivering to buyers what they are promising in the news.

Wireless Hotspot Device/Router: A router creates a Wi-Fi network that enables an Net connection for numerous devices. Because most people only have access to a couple world wide web service providers, so we dug into the speeds, prices, equipment, and client service ratings of the top nine.

If you do not have a copy of the instructions from wireless internet providers or manufacturer, then go to the manufacturer’s internet site and look for the relevant guides. Back them up to CDs or DVDs, a second tough drive, an external difficult drive or sufficiently huge USB drive, or back them up to the Internet (e.g. Google Drive or similar on-line backup vault).

Five (five) Mbps and more download is most most likely sufficient for anything you want to do. I strongly suggest you commence at a decrease package and test it out and if you nonetheless think you need to have more then upgrade it. Some providers do not allow you to downgrade a package easily.

 Prohibit extra improvements to fund unpaid interest and costs and simultaneous loans-【小木屋定制厂家批发价|凯迪森】

Prohibit extra improvements to fund unpaid interest and costs and simultaneous loans

Additionally, payday advances which have been outstanding for longer durations of the time proof a high danger of loss. While such loans might have some recovery value, it is really not practical or desirable to defer writing off these assets that are essentially worthless. Payday advances which can be outstanding for higher than 60 days from origination generally speaking meet with the definition of Loss. In some circumstances, earper fee down could be appropriate (in other words., the financial institution doesn’t restore beyond the very first payday and the debtor struggles to spend, the financial institution closes a merchant account, etc.). The organization’s popcies regarding consecutive improvements should also be looked at whenever determining Loss classifications. In which the substance that is economic of improvements is significantly comparable to “rollovers” – without appropriate intervening “coopng down” or waiting durations – examiners should treat these loans as constant advances and classify appropriately.

Whenever classifying payday advances, examiners should reference the Retail Classification Popcy since the supply document. Examiners would ordinarily maybe not classify loans which is why the organization has documented sufficient spending ability associated with obpgors and/or collateral that is sufficient or credit improvement.

Renewals/Rewrites The Retail Classification Popcy estabpshes guidepnes for extensions, deferrals, renewals, or rewrites of closed-end reports. Inspite of the nature that is short-term of loans, borrowers that request an expansion, deferral, renewal, or rewrite should show a renewed wilpngness and abipty to settle the mortgage. Examiners should make sure institutions follow and stick to the Retail Classification Popcy standards that control the utilization of extensions, deferrals, renewals, or rewrites of payday advances. Under the Retail Classification Popcy, institutions’ criteria should:

    pmit the quantity and regularity of extensions, deferrals, renewals, and rewrites;

    Prohibit additional improvements to finance interest that is unpaid charges and simultaneous loans into the exact exact same customer; make certain that comprehensive and effective danger administration, reporting, and internal settings are estabpshed and maintained. As well as the above products, organizations also needs to: Estabpsh appropriate “coopng down” or waiting periods between your time an online payday loan is repaid and another apppcation is created; Estabpsh the utmost amount of loans per client which are permitted online payday NH within one calendar 12 months or other designated time frame; and

    Offer that a maximum of one cash advance is outstanding using the bank at time to your one borrower.

    Make sure that pay day loans aren’t supplied to clients that has pay day loans outstanding at any loan provider for an overall total of 3 months throughout the past year. Whenever determining the period that is three-month organizations should think about the shoppers total utilization of pay day loans at all loan providers. Whenever a client has utilized pay day loans a lot more than three months within the past year, organizations should provide the consumer, or refer the consumer to, an alternate longer-term credit item that more accordingly matches the client s requirements. Whether or perhaps not an organization has the capacity to supply a consumer alternative credit services and products, an expansion of an online payday loan isn’t appropriate under such circumstances.

    Accrued costs and Finance Charges 8 Examiners should make sure organizations measure the collectibipty of accrued charges and finance fees on payday advances because a percentage of accrued interest and costs is typically maybe not collectible. Although regulatory reporting guidelines don’t require loans that are payday be added to nonaccrual predicated on depnquency status, organizations should use appropriate ways to make sure that income is accurately calculated. Such practices can include loss that is providing for uncollectible costs and finance fees or putting depnquent and impaired receivables on nonaccrual status. After that loan is positioned on nonaccrual status, subsequent costs and finance fees imposed from the debtor wouldn’t be recognized in earnings and accrued, but unpaid costs and finance costs typically will be reversed from income.

Modeling chronic diseases through the Synergy-COPD project

This guest blog discusses a supplement published in Journal of Translational Medicine based on the work of Synergy-COPD. The final aim of Synergy-COPD was the development and the application in both research and clinical context of a patient-specific computer based model and simulation by integrating data from different disciplines into biological models via mathematics and its application into a clinical setting.

It is widely accepted that chronic diseases represent 77% of the total disease burden on healthcare costs and they have marked consequences on both disability and mortality. This societal and economic burden is only expected to increase over the next decades.

Synergy-COPD has shown that a reduction of healthcare costs will only be achieved through a combined effort in the following two dimensions. Firstly, to increase our physiological and biological understanding of underlying mechanisms of chronic diseases. And, secondly, to implement predictive medicine and clinical decision support solutions that will optimise diagnosis, improve patient management and personalize treatments with an integrated care approach.

To accomplish both these goals in a single effort, we have designed the Synergy-COPD project. In this, we have addressed differences among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in terms of clinical manifestations and/or disease progress.

Using ‘Systems Medicine’

Our hypothesis was that the development of a ‘Systems Medicine’ approach could contribute to cost-effective enhancements of health outcomes. This approach uses computational modeling to understand chronic diseases alongside a technology development which allows the transfer of that acquired knowledge into healthcare.

To this end, Synergy-COPD involves a multi-disciplinary team that includes clinicians, biologists, computational scientists, software developers and mathematicians among others. A brief introduction and overview of Synergy-COPD is available here.

Understanding COPD

Using the Systems Medicine concept to study human body as an integrated whole, we aimed to characterise two sources of heterogeneity in COPD patients. Those are the systemic effects associated with skeletal muscle dysfunction and co-morbidity patterns of these patients. Importantly, we also want to uncover the interplay between them.

Each source of heterogeneity was studied through a different set of tools, but using in all cases the same underlying framework. The framework considers three steps: the first step is the identification of relevant candidate biomarkers; secondly, the use of those candidate biomarkers for the design of health-risk predictive modelling for COPD patients; and, finally, the study of clinical application for those models. You can read about the different modelling methodologies used in the Synergy-COPD project here.

Transferring the knowledge

The Systems Medicine approach requires complex knowledge and large amounts of data to build the models. In order to facilitate the access and use of all this, a set of tools, components of the Digital Health Framework (more on that later), have been developed.

The first major resource generated is an extended publicly available COPD Knowledge Base (COPDKB), that integrates more than 40 public data sources on functional interaction, COPD-specific mRNA profiles and co-morbidity networks connecting more than 6,000 genes/proteins with physiological parameters and disease states.

Furthermore, three mathematical models describing different aspects of systemic effects of COPD were connected to clinical and experimental data.

Finally, the COPDKB has been integrated into the two main tangible outcomes: the Synergy-COPD Simulation Environment (COPDSE), freely accessible at sourceforge. The latter constitutes a first step toward the simulation of individual models. The third outcome is the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) that allows practical support to clinicians.

Clinical Applications

The understanding of COPD that we’ve gained through the project should be used to enhance successful deployment and adoption of 4P Medicine – Predictive, Preventive, Personalised and Participatory.

The Clinical Decision Support Systems we developed was embedded into clinical processes with the purpose of bringing novel knowledge into clinical practice and supporting health professionals in the clinical decision making process.

The lessons learned during the project in terms of management of clinical and biomedical data generated the Digital Health Framework (DHF) concept. It is postulated that data exchange and interoperability among different points of care and biomedical data warehouses become crucial and should be facilitated by the implementation of the DHF.

The challenges and opportunities of Synergy-COPD

In the three and a half years of Synergy-COPD, we were faced with several limitations and challenges. One challenge is the synchronisation of vocabulary and definitions among all partners. This highlighted the need to update or revisit the existing biomedical syllabus to prepare the next generation of researchers that will work in even more multidisciplinary environments.

A second challenge was the limiting factor of data availability to study the issues addressed in the project. It was observed that most of the published research reporting -omic data (e.g. transcriptomics, genotypes, DNA Methylation etc.) with a disease-oriented approach does not include context information on co-morbidity. Accordingly, we need to prioritise projects where both -omic information on disease and patient-centred co-morbidities approaches are considered in the reporting. There are also benefits that the approach may provide in the future to personalized medicine in COPD and other complex diseases.

We consider that the deployment of integrated care services supported by information and communication technologies, can contribute to enhance health outcomes in chronic care models without increasing overall costs of the health system, as shown by different initiatives deploying integrated care.

Importantly, healthcare efficiencies can be boosted by promoting a more active role for patients and carers in self-management and co-design of the services; and, fostering cost-effective preventive strategies aiming at slowing the progress of the disease.

These two strategic proposals will require bridging the gap between traditional healthcare delivery at hospitals and primary care units with informal care. A challenging task, but we believe not an impossible one.

According to a recent press release regarding the new release: “The four-time JUNO Award-winning group, who graced the cover of Rolling Stone in 2011 when they made history as the first unsigned band to appear on the cover of the famed magazine by beating out 15 other artists in the Choose the Cover contest (Issue 1137), have expanded their sound on CHANGING COLOURS, encompassing more styles and hues to enhance their trademark beef-and-boogie twin-axe riffs, hooks, shuffles and long-haired aesthetic. THE SHEEPDOGS–Ewan Currie (vocals, guitars), Ryan Gullen (bass, backing vocals), Sam Corbett (drums, backing vocals), Shamus Currie (keyboards, trombone) and Jimmy Bowskill(guitars)–deliver passionate music born out of spontaneity on CHANGING COLOURS, their follow-up to 2015’s Future Nostalgia. Opening up the 17-song album is the euphoric “Nobody”alongside the electrifying “Saturday Night” and the driving “I’ve Got A Hole Where My Heart Should Be,” the record’s infectious first single.”  We recently spoke with bassist Ryan to discuss the new disc, touring, and much more…

Toddstar: Thank you so much for taking time out. I appreciate it. There’s a couple of exciting things going on in the world of The Sheepdogs right now. Let’s talk about Changing Colours first. The sixth full length release came out digitally earlier in February, and a physical release is coming as well. What can you tell us about this album that fans of The Sheepdogs may not get the first or second time they listen through this disc?

Ryan: I think the biggest thing about this record was that, we came off the road kind of, with the last record we were on the road pretty much two years straight. We came back and we went kind of right into the studio, with the idea we’re fresh off the road, pretty tight as a band. We wanted to just bang out a record. The last couple records we’ve gone two weeks, three weeks. We kind of set out to do that right off the bat. As we started doing it, we kind of felt like, “We’re not in a huge rush necessarily to bang this out”. We had the time and the resources. We ended up making a decision that we were going to spend more time on this one, and we did it I guess over about three, four months. Kind of working, not every day, but doing shorter days and not really killing ourselves. After a couple years of touring we were pretty worn out. We realized we were maybe not in the greatest place to just bang out a record. What came from that is that the album has a lot of different moods and colors I guess, based on the name, that kind of came out of us working over a long period of time. We were able to start working on a song, and then come back to it. Or in one case, one of the songs, “Born A Restless Man,” which is the start of the medley, we weren’t really getting the sound we wanted in the studio. We thought, “Let’s go out to”, our guitar player, Jim, lives out in the country. “Let’s go to his place and let’s set up a tape machine and drink beer and eat barbecue, and record it kind of live, all of us in a living room kind of style”.  Through the process of that, the album really took shape. We were able to kind of come back to songs, and they would kind of change how they initially were just from us having the time to go back. There is definitely a cutoff when it comes to, you don’t want to, you want to give yourself a limit because you don’t want to go full Chinese Democracy or something like that and take forever. We still got the record done. But it ended up taking a whole different shape than we originally anticipated, and we’re much happier with how it turned out because we were able to spend more time with it. I think that’s probably the main thing that stands out to me. The other big thing is that this is our first record we’ve done with Jim Bowskill, who’s our guitar player. He really brought a lot to the album. People who listen to the record will hear, there’s a lot of different instrumentation on that. We tried to kind of put all sorts of different things on it. But the big addition to him was that he can pretty much play any stringed instrument that exists. He played pedal steel banjo, mandolin, fiddle, viola, and a bunch of other stuff on there. It really added. The way we kind of approach recording is that we always focus on getting the basics down, the drums, the bass, and the structure of the song. Then from there a lot of it comes, where the name Changing Colours kind of comes from is that we always refer to adding color in the studio. That was a really big thing. The color is adding your interesting little parts. Whether that’s different keyboards or different instruments. This is one where we really played a lot with that, and as a result the shape of the record kind of came around. Having Jim be part of this for the first time was a really big thing for us.

Toddstar: You mentioned the medley that kind of kicks off with “Born A Restless Man.” A six song medley is something that’s usually relegated to something like a prog rock band, so to speak. You guys are definitely not in that prog rock vein. Was that something that you guys, as you were writing, you thought, “This is just going to be a medley. This is just going to be something that, it’s seamless. It comes together”? Or was it something you guys did intentionally?

Ryan: It was intentional. I think that, it’s funny because the prog thing is totally apt. But also bands like, some of the early Chicago records. Obviously Beatles, Abbey Road utilized medleys. It’s something that we’ve done on a fair amount of our records because it’s something that, three of our records have medleys on them. We really enjoy, often times it is things that are just kind of little bits and pieces. This one was a little bit more, it’s a little bit more thematic in the sense that the songs are sort of themed together. We really were intentional on how they flowed together and things like that. It’s definitely something we set out to do. It’s something that we really appreciate. Especially when you listen to a record on vinyl and you really get that. You can get the same sort of thing with streaming or on a CD as well. But listening to old records that are some of our favorites and hearing medleys like that, they were just something that we all really loved, so it’s something we set out to do. Nobody is really doing that anymore, aside from the occasional song that flows one into the other. Also in the way we do our live performance, we’re really into flowing songs into one or another, and doing that as well. It’s kind of taken a little bit from the way we perform live as well, in that we want to kind of keep people’s attention and we want to have things be congruent and flow together.

Toddstar: It kind of ties into something you mentioned earlier, is the addition of Jimmy Bowskill. In that if I read it right somewhere, you guys kind of tipped your hat to him and his contributions and everything in the band with “The Bailieboro Turnaround” as part of that medley.

Ryan: Yeah. He’s from a small town in Ontario called Bailieboro, so that’s definitely a tip to him. He had a part writing that song too, so that’s, I mean it’s an instrumental track but that’s definitely where that came from.

Toddstar: This is always a weird question to ask because you get bands who have been around 30 years, you get bands who have been around six years. But you guys have been around long enough to see some of the changes in the music industry. At this point, Ryan, from the moment you guys started, what do you see as the most negative change in the music industry?

Ryan: Well I mean it’s always tough because I think anyone who believes that any industry is not going to change with the advent of technology or anything like that is kind of fooling themselves. I think we saw that in the early to mid 2000’s, when labels failed to recognize the strength of the internet and iPods and how that all changed. I think you can look at it negatively. I think that obviously one of the big negative things is that bands aren’t selling records like they used to. That definitely impacts your bottom line when it comes to, especially nowadays because as a result of that your primary income as a musician is through touring and stuff. But at the same time, I’m not an anti-technology person. I’m not one of those people that really is down on streaming. Yes, it’s shitty that streaming does not pay like record royalties. It doesn’t pay like radio royalties. But I think the biggest thing is that it’s not given a platform for, you can be a band like us that plays music that’s pretty much of an era that is not modern. It’s taken from a time, from the 60’s and 70’s and whatever. But it means that you can find people all over the world without having to necessarily… You think about a band like Smashmouth. Smashmouth had a big hit and there was a time when that was the biggest song in the world, in an era when unless you sounded like whatever was really big on the radio, you were not going to get played. Now we live in a world where we have fans of our music all over the world that, it’s not through radio, but it’s because they listened to a Creedence album on Spotify, and then it’s like, “You might like this”, and they check it out and they’re like, “Oh man. This is a new band that’s, whatever”. I think the negative impact is that there definitely is less money. There’s a bit more of a divide between maybe smaller artists and your Taylor Swifts and people like that. But it’s not really that much. Things show that people still spend the same amount of money on music. It’s just like the revenue streams have changed. But it’s also leveled the playing field in a way where you no longer, you don’t have to go to a record store and have a record store employee tell you, “This is a really cool record”. You can discover that for yourself on YouTube or Spotify or Apple Music or whatever. I think that’s really cool. I come from a small city in the middle of nowhere in Canada, where it was very difficult to find music outside of basically what people were listening to at the record store, and what people were listening to that were in your high school class. Then with the introduction of Napster, that basically shapes who we are as a band. Ewan and I met in high school and we became friends because we were really into music. We were really into old music, like 70’s rock and roll, and funk and soul music. That’s actually basically why our band… But it came from an era where we could go, the early version of going down the rabbit hole on YouTube was, you just start downloading things on Napster. As a result we became much more versed in different types of music and then discovering different artists than I ever would have had I been four or five years older than I am. I think that it’s one of those things that I try to not be negative about. Obviously yes, I wish that I was a millionaire. But it’s not about that. It’s about, I’m able to make a career doing music I like, and not what some bigwig at a record label tells me is, “Three Doors Down has this number one song. You need to write a song like that”. It doesn’t matter, because it’s in level with it. I don’t know. I don’t like to look at it negatively. But I think the biggest impact is just the fact that you have to be a little bit more crafty in the way you do things, and follow along with the digital trends in the sense that you need to market your music differently. You need to look at those things and figure out how you reach those people, because it’s not as easy as just writing a song and getting it on the radio, and suddenly you’re the biggest band in the world. But I’m kind of okay with that because it means that lots of other friends of mine that play maybe not mainstream music, you see people having a lot more success with that. Not just rock and roll, but all genres. I think that’s a really positive thing.

Toddstar: You mentioned YouTube. That’s definitely a vein for a lot of artists to be able to hit when they bring out new stuff. You guys have a new video for “I’ve Got A Hole Where My Heart Should Be” from the new album. I think right now it’s over 40,000 views. But like you said, a small band out of remote areas in Canada may not have gotten that 25 or 30 years ago, gotten that exposure. When it comes to the video and things like that, because you guys do some cool covers, there’s live stuff up there. But when you’re doing these studio type videos, are you guys trying to just kind of put out who you are? I dug the video because you guys kind of said, “This is who we are”. You’re not looking for visuals. You’re not looking for anything else. You’re just presenting who you are and hoping that resonates with the fans. Is it because that’s who you guys are at the heart of it? Or do you guys like the flash and the bang and all that?

Ryan: I don’t know. I mean, absolutely. That’s a live performance video. I do all of our video stuff. Again, it is who we are because you go through the channels of having people do stuff for you, and you end up becoming kind of like, either be presented as… It is a way that you’re being presented, obviously. YouTube is an avenue that people listen to music. It’s a huge avenue where people listen to music. You want to have things out there to represent you. Sometimes it’s difficult to explain who you are. It’s very easy for people to get caught up in, “Let’s make this video look like it’s from 1970”, and they kind of go over, heavy handed on that or whatever. We like to have fun with what we do. With this record I’ve done, there’s a new video coming out that I directed and edited and produced that’s coming out in the next couple weeks. I made an infomercial for our band that you can find on YouTube as well. I actually registered an 800 number and had it so you can order the record by calling an 800 number. We gave away a free Changing Colours coffee mug if you ordered through the phone number, and it was a whole thing. But it’s like, with that video, that’s just a live performance video because we felt that the live performances of our songs are very strong, and we wanted to represent that, so we went with more of a beat club kind of chroma key screen kind of thing. It’s kind of what our music is like, and it’s kind of a throwback to obviously how bands would go and promote their records when they’d come out. But at the same time it was a very honest representation of who we are as a band, because it’s actually not an edited studio track. That’s us just playing that song, and then me adding the visuals behind it.

Toddstar: That’s actually what drew me in. I’ll be honest. When I got to see the video and hear you guys, and see that you guys weren’t a flash in the pan. You guys actually were a cohesive unit. Because again, like you said, it’s a live piece. That said, you’ve got this song, and there’s some other ones on the album that I like. What songs do you feel best represent who The Sheepdogs are, and will hold up in the long run against other songs in your catalog, that have bee your personal favorites and or fan favorites?

Ryan: It’s funny because, again with this record, in Canada we have a lot of success on radio. We currently are a number one. We have a number one with “Hole Where My Heart Should Be” in Canada. We are conscious of the fact, talking about the Spotify thing, we also have success in radio. We’re conscious of wanting to put out singles. But then I think that for the other people that dig in, there’s other songs that maybe are a little bit more deep tracks, but maybe represent a little bit of growth or whatever for the band but still stand up. I think for me, a song like Nobody is one that maybe would definitely be in there. “Hole Where My Heart Should Be”. One that I personally really really like and I think it’s a little bit different for us, but I think it still stands up, is “Let It Roll.” Which is a song that was a totally different song when we first recorded it, that really took shape with us having the time, like I said, where we spent a couple months working on it. We kept coming back to that one, coming back to that one. It was probably my least favorite song on the record until we kind of came up with a whole new game plan for it, and it kind of became my favorite song on the record, I think. But yeah, a song like “Nobody” is kind of, I always like to think of our music being, good music you can drink some beers and have some barbecue in a backyard to. I think songs like “Nobody” and “Let It Roll” and “Hole Where My Heart Should Be” and “Saturday Night” and things like that kind of all fall into that vein. But there’s a lot of other stuff too, Up In Canada for example, that is definitely a bit of an anthemic kind of vibe song. But again, it’s just laid back and chill at the same time. I think it slots into how we look at our music.

Toddstar: You guys are hitting some tour dates, and you’re actually going to be here in Detroit. What’s it like for you guys to get out on the road? I know every artist wants to create and put the music out there. But do you see the touring part as kind of an addendum to that? Or in your opinion is that where the action is? Not necessarily in the creation, but in getting the art out there?

Ryan: I’m always in kind of two minds about it. I love being in the studio. I love creating. I love the aspect of a bunch of us getting together and doing that. But I think really the best test for music is not putting it out there and just kind of putting your feet up. It’s going out and playing those songs, and seeing the reactions of people. For me that’s kind of the most satisfying part, is when you get to go out and people have an opportunity to listen, and see how those people react to hearing that song live for the first time. Or hearing that song they love from the record that they’re suddenly going to hear and feel, more enjoyable live. Or has some elements to it that maybe aren’t on the record, but we’ve kind of added some different parts to it or we’ve added some solos and interplay on the guitars or whatever. That’s a really big thing for me. The touring part is obviously the work part. It’s exhausting, and you’ve been on tour for whatever, 15, 16, days, and you’ve only had one day off so far. But that’s the part where you go out and you pound the pavement. For us, we want to have as much people as possible listen to what we do and enjoy what we do. I think the best way to do that, especially nowadays, is have a really killer live show and bring it, and play the songs as good as they are on the record, and add elements to them for the live show that make it even more exciting. Getting on the road is kind of the best part, and seeing those reactions, for me.

Toddstar: That’s very cool, that insight. As far as you, Ryan, you’re in a band with some friends and everything else. But if you could step out of that for one second and there was somebody out there that you would love to collaborate with. Whether it was writing, or again because you’re also on the production end of things with the videos and things like that, if there was an artist out there who you could collaborate with, who would be on your wish list?

Ryan: Oh man. I mean, definitely I feel like collaboration as far as music goes, I’ve been in this band for 14 years. Stepping outside of that, I’ve done a few things with friends and stuff like that. But I mean as far as the production side, that’s something I’ve always been into and something I’ve been doing. I don’t know. I don’t know what would be on my wish list. I just like doing things for bands that are cool. There’s this band from California called Apache that are just kind of, they’re a newer band but they’re really great. I’d really like to do something with them. I’m actually hoping in the next little while to be able to do something with them, as far as a video goes. Because they’re, I don’t know. For me it’s like, as a musician I’m probably harder on who I’d want to do stuff with. But it just, I like doing stuff with people that are doing good, cool music and doing great stuff. I don’t know if there would be necessarily a specific artist. That’s an artist I guess that I think it would be cool to do something with.

Toddstar: Awesome. One more question for you, Ryan. Again, I know you’re busy and I appreciate the time that you’ve given me. As a young kid way back, you mentioned how long it’s been, but I think some sites state around 2006 is when the band really got the kickoff. When you first started doing this and decided you were going to be a bass player in a band and get together and do this thing, did you ever in a million years think you’d nail down a Juno Award?

Ryan: No. No, not at all. This band honestly started as three guys who wanted to get together and just play music just for something different to do. I mean, you live in a small town. You’re 18, 19 years old. You basically want a reason to kind of escape just doing the same thing over and over again. We started the band with the idea that it might give us an opportunity to do something that was different than the status quo that was the trajectory we would have been on, being from a small city in the middle of nowhere. I think the biggest thing is that it’s just always kind of grown as we’ve gone along. We’ve kind of taken it as a team. But no, I definitely never thought… My hope was just maybe we might sell out the local bar in Saskatoon. That would be awesome. Obviously to be selling out shows all over the place, in the world, is something, you never expect that. It’s obviously incredibly flatting and humbling to be like, “I’m from this place. But I never thought that I would ever necessarily even leave”. Then to be able to do that with something you’re incredibly passionate about with all of your best buds is really something. You can’t even expect that. Of course you have ideas, like, “That would be so crazy if we did this”. Then you do it and it’s pretty wild.

Toddstar: I can only imagine. Well listen, again Ryan, I really appreciate you taking time out of your schedule. I know it’s not easy with the little free time that you get out on the road.

Ryan: No, I appreciate the article man. Thank you so much.

Toddstar: We wish you guys well with Changing Colours. We hope people open their minds, turn on their computers, or run out to the store as soon as the physical are available, and wrap their hands and ears around Changing Colours, and that they buy a ticket when it rolls through town, much like it’s going to do here in Detroit in a few days.

Ryan: Alright. Great. Thanks so much, man. I’ll talk to you soon.

Blake Shelton And Gwen Stefani Writing Music Together While In Quarantine

Who knew a quarantine could be so romantic?

Partners Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton flirted and performed their new single “Nobody but You” for ACM Presents: Our Country on Sunday night.

The two joked about their quarantine pass times, which including Shelton saying he’s been doing a lot of drinking. The two didn’t say much about any possible wedding plans, though. Maybe we’ll get lucky and see the two perform their song live at the now-postponed 55th Annual ACM Awards when they air September 6th.

Do you think Gwen and Blake are cute together? Some people first saw them as an unlikely couple; are you apart of an “unlikely” couple that no one thought would last?

10 Causes of a Sore Throat

By jolene
Article Sources Article Sources
Medical Expert Medical Expert

Sore throat is a term that refers to pain, irritation, or discomfort in the throat. It is a common experience where about 7.5 percent of individuals experience it in a three-month period. Sore throats can be managed symptomatically where pain medications such as paracetamol (acetaminophen) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen sodium are used.

Studies have observed that corticosteroids may increase the chances of resolution while helping to reduce the pain level. It has also been found that antibiotics help to shorten the duration of symptoms by an average of approximately one day.

Other recommendations include gargling with warm salted water and rest. Left untreated, symptoms of a sore throat typically last about two to seven days. In the United States, it has been estimated that throat-related issues account for about 2.4 million emergency department visits and more than 13 million visits to the doctor’s offices annually.

Cause #1: Viral Infections

Viral infections can result in as many as 90 percent of cases of sore throat. Viral infections can result in influenza, measles, mumps, mononucleosis, and chickenpox which can cause a sore throat.

Viral infections should be managed symptomatically as antibiotics are only used for bacterial infections. Management includes salt water gargles, use of pain medication, rest, and ensuring adequate hydration and nutrition.

BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER. Fascinating cave tour!!
, Dec 2020
Rudy was one of the most knowledgeable and kind people I’ve ever met. When he picked us up, he spent the entire drive to Barton Creek teaching us about the ecology of the jungle, about local culture, and about Mayan history. Every question we asked, he had an answer and often a story. Once we arrived at the cave, Rudy told us captivating Mayan creation stories that explained why the Mayans adventured into the caves and held the beliefs they did. His narration was so enrapturing that our entire group was silent for most of the tour. We saw several Mayan ceramics and one skull in the cave. Once we left the cave, we swam in the blue hole outside which was an absolute blast. I would 100% do this tour again, especially if Rudy was our guide.

Hello Ashley, We are happy to hear you had a great time. Rudy loves to share his knowledge with others. Thank you for allowing us to help you enjoy your vacation in Belize.

This is one of the least frequent activities around San Ignacio, and so there is a chance you'll be one of the only people on site. To get there, you'll have to travel on a dirt road across the Mennonite territory. Because of the road conditions and limited interest, we were escorted in a pickup truck and given what was pretty much a private tour. The cave was beautiful, and there are Mayan cultural remains you can spot from the canoe. Our tour guide, Rudy, had a hypnotic way of describing the cave environment, geology, and Mayan mythology. If you're looking for something like the ATM cave but would prefer not to have to go through the entire adventurous ordeal of hiking, wading, swimming, and enduring hours in soaking wet clothes, this is the perfect place to experience it!

Dear Oparaola, Thank you so much for your review of the Barton Creek Tour. We do agree with you, it is one of the least frequent activity which makes it a unique experience. We are glad to hear you learned so much from Rudy and your comparison of Barton Creek Tour to the ATM Cave. We do hope you visit Belize in the future and explore more of our beautiful country. Kind regards, Celine

The Turandot house is located on Old Arbat next to the Vakhtangov Theatre.
Task description: to develop a positioning concept and renew the visual identity style.

The first thing we noticed, was that the house quite literally grows from the monumental theatre building. We suggested a tagline Culture Included which embodies the idea of a living space embedded within a cultural gravitational field of a famous institution. The image of princess Turandot became a joining element in this concept, as this play has appeared many times on the stage of the Vakhtangov Theatre. For Turandot we collaborated with a collective of four Russian artists AES+F to enrich the interiors with authentic feel of theatre, using phantasmagoric stage imagery to channel the enigma of classical drama.

We enhanced the typography of Turandot logo whilst remaining within the territory of classics. The strokes of the letters became less bold and grew more elegant. The sign representing the princess became more contemporary as we removed the unnecessary elements. The visual style of the tagline Culture Included expresses project’s dual nature with a combination of a classic antique font and a swiss-made grotesque. To further advance the concept, we suggested exhibiting works which depict scenes from the play by the famous graphic artist Vladimir Zolotukhin.

Being inspired by this work the developer decided to invest its own funds into the renovation of the Small Stage of the Vakhtangov Theatre. The rebranding of the house on Old Arbat transcended a simple communication and turned into an investment into Moscow’s cultural heritage.
