"Great hospital experience"

About: Castle Hill Hospital / Ear, Nose and Throat

(as the patient),

I arrived at 7. 45 in September to the Daisy ward. Was shown To my bed and explanation of what was happening, Met surgeon and anesthetist.

Taken to theatre by very pleasant porter. Met Sinead anesthetic nurse and Jenny who kept me relaxed and were very funny. Had op and had a wonderful caring recovery nurse Chloe.

Back on ward all the staff were very happy and helpful. The food was a lot better than I expected.

The only criticism I had was in side room 4 when the loo or hot water was flushed or on the plumbing made a loud sound. Very annoying when trying to sleep. Discharge next day was very efficient. Well done to everyone.

"One nurse to deal with a full ward of patients on B2. They deserve a medal."

(as the patient),

On a recent occasion, there was only one staff nurse on ward B2, where I am at the moment, from 5pm to cope with a full ward of patients. There were healthcare workers but this nurse was the only nurse and I think they need a medal. When the nurses shift finished, they were still here at 10: 30.

This nurse needs to be prasised for all the hard work they do.

Response from Jo Horsley, Adult Mental Health Service Manager - Acute services, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust

Many thanks for your comments and bringing this staffing situation to my attention.

I have spoken to the ward manager who explained this was unavoidable due to unforeseen circumstances. I agree the nurse in question deserves recognition and if it was in my power I’d give lots of our nurses gold medals!

I will make sure the nurse in question receives your kind words of appreciation and look at ways we can prevent this happening in the future.

I wish you well in your continued recovery.

Looking for someone to build a Filemaker 10 database and provide some advice on build. It is to run a small creative services agency and will include approximately 7/10 tables which will need to be interlinked.

I am fairly proficient in how Filemaker works but it will take too long for me to build myself, so I am looking for someone who can work with me. There is a potential that this could also turn into a solution I may be able to offer other clients so would wish to find someone I can trust for ongoing work.

As well as new biz/contact database, it needs to be for quotes, invoices, client history, image & document management, and general business reporting. Any one with CSS & PHP skills would also be advantageous due to the type of services we offer.

Any questions please let me know through the message board.

Ask a Vet

Q. Our dog Maisie is scratching a lot and now has a bald patch on her back. She’s never had fleas and I can’t see any on her black fur. How can I check? I’m also worried a treatment might sting her skin.

A. It sounds like Maisie is suffering from Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD), a condition that leads to the itchy, angry skin patches you mention. FAD can be caused by the smallest number of flea bites if your dog is allergic to the proteins in flea saliva. The first reaction is severe itching (known as pruritis) and a once healthy-looking coat can soon become a patchy, scabby mess. Your vet can treat FAD with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories but prevention is always better than cure. Checking for fleas is easy: use a fine-tooth comb to search for flea dirt, tap it onto white tissue paper and then wet it. Flea dirt is basically broken-down blood and has a reddish hue. Treatment is usually applied between the shoulder blades, so it shouldn’t affect the patch on Maisie’s back, and is effective for one to two months. Buy it from your vet to ensure its effectiveness and safety.

Q. My Labrador bitch is pregnant. Is it OK to treat her for fleas now, or should I wait until after she’s had her puppies? What about when she is nursing them?

A. Most flea treatments are a little vague about treating a pregnant mother, though I’d suggest you hold off on treatment until the puppies are born. It’s worthwhile checking with your vet if the specific flea treatment can be used on a lactating mother. Most products suggest not treating puppies until they reach eight weeks old or are more than 2kg.

Q. My rabbit has fleas. Could she have caught them from our cat, and can the same treatments be used for different species? I usually use Frontline for my cat.

A. Rabbits can catch fleas from both cats and dogs, resulting in the same itchiness and inflamed skin problems they get. However, some flea treatments for cats and dogs can cause adverse reactions in – or even kill – bunnies. For safe, effective removal of fleas, you should speak to your vet about flea treatments specifically designed for rabbits.

Q. We have two house cats who never go out, yet recently we’ve noticed them scratching. It looks like they’ve got fleas, but how can this have happened when they don’t go out?

A. Fleas can infest your environment, too; they can jump on your clothing when you are walking outdoors, and are also found as larvae in soil walked in from the garden. The fleas then lay their eggs in your carpets, and they can hatch months later. Carpet sprays and bombs should be effective in ridding your carpets of these insects and their eggs.

    My cousin just won for the second time! :devil:

    The first time she won $25000; this time, $100,000!!! She only buys one ticket per cycle. Tsu worked with a guy who won twice - about the same amounts as above, as I recall - but I think he purchased many tickets each time. He won the 100,000 on the Calif. Big Spin, many years ago now.

    What gets me is how something like 50% of the big winners [millions of dollars] are broke in five years!

    well first off, what kind of lottery, there are lotteries with odds like 1 in 400000(waste of money) but the ticket is like 5 bucks, or like hospital lotteries, where odds ar give of take i in 25 but 50 to 100 bucks a ticket, but you can win houses, cars, money whatever
  8. Sep 25, 2004 #7

    that's because they don't know how to handle finances- if you can't manage a buget, you'll go broke no matter what your income.. people go broke because instead of investing the majority of the money or hiring a financial consultant, they go right out and buy a mansion, a few expensive cars, and basically live like rock stars, forgettting that rock stars make thier total lottery winnings at least once a year, and that's why THEY can afford to live that way.

    Besides, what does a million buy nowadays anyhow? Not much if you're on the west or east coast.. barely beachfront property.. a shack.. and maybe a nice car's worth left over.
  9. Sep 25, 2004 #8
    Bingo! A million is nothing these days

    In my opinion lottery is something that is OK if it's added in to your yearly budget and subtracted from your balance. As long as it isn't making any big dents in money that you're needing to do something else with. The chances are slim for winning the lottery, but once in awhile they're almost worth it.

    My next door neighbors won $100,000 last year. That was pretty cool. They just used it to fix up their house a little, did all the work at once instead of slowly doing it.

    I only throw my dollar into the game when the jackpots start hitting $100 million or more. For those really big jackpots, I splurged and spent $5 on tickets. I don't get very excited by gambling because I pretty much never win. I think the sum total of my gambling winnings in my life has been $157, and I've spent more than that to win it. I had one good day in a casino and came home with about $150 after spending only about $5. There was a dice game with 50:1 odds for a particular roll, so I figured, what the heck, just put down $1. It came up, so I walked away for a bit and came back and decided to try the other extreme (it was something like rolling 3- 1's or 3 -6's), and I hit it again. So, I took my money and walked away for the night. My step-brother was with me, and we had one more silver dollar left from when we got some change for bills and decided to toss it into the last slot machine on the way out and we won another $50. So, we stopped on the way home and had a nice dinner.

    For my lottery winnings, I had a good day playing instant tickets when I was a kid (well, Dad was buying, I was scratching off numbers...we used to buy one ticket each time we went out on Sunday to buy the newspaper)...we got a whole series of tickets that won us two free tickets, and the last one finally won us $2...so we made a $1 in the end, and a morning of entertainment scratching off tickets for me.

    Since then, I once matched up enough numbers to win $7 or $10 on Powerball...I can't even remember now. That wasn't nearly as exciting as all those scratch-off free tickets.

    I figure, if I ever won $1 million, it's such a small amount that I'd probably just pay off the mortgage to save myself the interest, do the remodeling I'd like to do, and put whatever paltry amount is left into a retirement fund. It would just mean my regular paycheck will take me that much further. Heck, maybe I'd even break down and get cable internet access :biggrin:

    Its a waste of money.
  15. Sep 27, 2004 #14
    My friend came up with a good idea. He said that intead of paying £1 a week for a ticket, save up the money and pay £52 on 52 tickets all in one week. Or you could just keep the £52 as your winnings.
  16. Sep 27, 2004 #15
    That's probably more than you could win, anyway.

    The Irish Lottery has better odds than other lotteries. It only has 42 numbers and you can win £460 for getting 3 numbers correct.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking

  1. Jun 2, 2008 #1
    Was the early spontaneous symmetry breaking caused by exponential expansion in the first instant of standard theory?

    Is that the reason that the early Big Bang universe is thought to have contained equal amounts of matter and anti-matter (produced by spontaneous symmetry breaking)?

    Does the observed expansion continue to cause spontaneous symmetry breaking and produce matter anti-matter pairs? Have we detected them, are we looking for them, or is this something that just happened in the first picoseconds?

    Or is everything about symmetry breaking a part of quantum mechanics and not Big Bang Theory at all?
  2. jcsd
  3. Jun 2, 2008 #2
    Spontaneous symmetry breaking seems to be related to the period before the big bang in string theory. After some searching I found this superstringtheory site.

    This page from that site addresses Inflation Theory and spontaneous symmetry breaking, and you can step through the whole site using the "previous" and "next" arrows.

    The questions I was asking seem to be addressed.

The Carnot Engine

  1. Aug 11, 2008 #1
    A firebox is at 750K, and the ambient temperature is 300K. The efficiency of a Carnot engine doing 150J of work as it transports energy between these constant-temperature baths is 60.0%. The Carnot engine must take in energy 150J/.600 = 250J from the hot reservoir and must put out 100J of energy by heat into the environment. To follow Carnot's reasoning, suppose that some other heat engine S could have efficiency 70.0%.

    (a) Find the energy input and wasted energy output of energy S as it does 150J of work.
    (b) Let engine S operate as in part (a) and run the Carnot engine in reverse. Find the total energy the firebox puts out as both engines operate together, and the total energy transferred to the environment. Show that the Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics is violated.

    Part (a) was done relatively easily but I have no idea what situation part (b) is bringing up (its a problem in conceptualizing what they're asking). How is engine S operating with the Carnot engine?

    I believe it means to operate the Carnot engine as a heat pump, letting the output of work by engine S be the input of work to the Carnot heat pump. After following the process, do you see how Clausius's statement is violated?
  4. Aug 12, 2008 #3
    Somewhat...the work being done on the heat pump is internal to the system, whereas the Clausius statement does not allow for such cyclic processes to continue constantly without external work being applied to the system. However, if the work done by engine S is applied to the heat pump to bring the exhaust energy back to the hot reservoir (while ignoring friction, conduction, or any unnecessary dissipation of energy), then how and where in the process is the limitation mentioned in the Clausius statement produced?

    Let the engine S produce 150 J of work, and the Carnot engine use 150 J of work. What's the total (net) change in this closed system? In other words, what has been accomplished?
  6. Aug 12, 2008 #5
    Hmmm...if I'm thinking in the right direction...then there is no net work done throughout the process...I see...and that violates the Clausius statement...heh, well thats something.

    Also, if its not too much of a bother...in part (b)...whats the difference between the first find and the second find. Both of them are -35J (according to the answer given). I know the second is exhaust energy...what is the first one supposed to be?

    Well, I think you need a bit more. No work has been done, true, but what has been accomplished? What has occured due to the two of them running?

    What is the Clausius statement? If you consider what it states, it might be easier to focus on the relevant happening.

    I'm a bit confused by the way you're using the word "find" here, but from the number you give, it appears that you are looking at the input/output effects of the total combined machine. This relates to answering my questions above.
  8. Aug 12, 2008 #7
    Would this fulfill it?: There is a cyclical process that is now continuous and working by itself...and so the entropy change for one cycle is 0. The Clausius statement indicates that such an accomplishment is not possible.
    To stray a little...why is the Clausius statement true? I'm not denying it...I'm just asking how it is true. Apparently, according to the statement, even if a system did not hold any friction or any other dissipation of energy, a limitation will still exist and external work is needed. What is the source of the limitation?

    What is the Clausius statement? For example the Kelvin statement of the second law goes something like "No process can convert heat completely into work." What is the Clausius statement of the second law?

    (I'd rather not just write it out here, because it kind of gives away this problem. If you can't find it in your text you can find it on the web.)

    Also, why do you say the entropy change is zero? Try calculating it for a single cycle. What do you get?
  10. Aug 12, 2008 #9
    According to text, the Clausius statement states that "it is impossible to construct a cyclical machine whose sole effect is to transfer energy continuously by heat from one object to another object at a higher temperature without the input of energy by work." Wouldn't that be somewhat similar to my explanation...or am I still missing something?

    The reason why I stated that the entropy of one cycle would be zero would be that I was assuming that the entire process would be reversible...although, looking back at things, my reasoning in that was off.

    When the problem directly references the Clausius statement, I think you would need to constuct your answer in the language of the Clausius statement. You have found that the total effect of the combined device is to transfer 35 J (or something like that) of heat from the cold reservoir to the hot reservoir, and there is no other effect. That specifically is what the Clausius statement says is impossible.

    You could also think about the problem in terms of entropy, but in my opinion the problem was specifically wanting you to think about what Clausius had to say.

    What did you get for the change in entropy?
  12. Aug 14, 2008 #11
    Sorry it took so long to respond...it took me a while to get the question back in front of me. I understand the problem now. I wasn't conceptualizing the process right. Apparently there is a net transfer of heat energy of 35.7J from the cold reservoir to the hot reservoir without any net external work, which violates the Clausius statement.

    Since you brought up the matter, wouldn't I need to know the medium I'm using (the type of gas mixture, amount, etc...) to solve for the change in entropy (considering that the heat energy shifted from a colder temperature to a higher temperature)?

    Since you know that the temperatures of the reservoirs is constant, and you know the heat transfer to and from each reservoir, you can simplify

    \Delta S = \int \frac{dQ}{T}

    directly for each reservoir.
  14. Aug 14, 2008 #13
    Oh...I see...and the sum would give total change in entropy for the system of the 2 reservoirs, right?

    That sounds right; and once you calculate the number, it should give more evidence as to why that combined device is impossible.

    Just wanted to point out that the entropy change of a system may very well decrease due to heat transfer from the system for a reversible process. It is the entropy generated in the system that may never decrease. It can only remain zero in the case of a reversible process. Hence, if the entropy transfer is negative (i.e. out of the system), the system entropy will decrease.

    This is a bit confusing. It is not clear what you mean by "system".

    A consequence of the second law is that the entropy of the universe cannot decrease in any process. If the system includes the reservoirs, then it is not correct to say that the entropy of the system can decrease (since this is a closed system with no external work being supplied).

    It is also unclear what you mean by "entropy generated in the system". Work is generated and heat flows in these thermodynamic processes. As a result of heat flowing over one full cycle, the entropy of each of the reservoirs changes (by dQ/T where dQ is the heat flow into/out of the reservoir and T is the temperature of the reservoir). The sum total entropy of those changes cannot be less than 0 if no external work is being supplied.

    The increase of entropy principle does not imply that entropy of a system cannot decrease. The entropy change of a system can be negative during a process, but entropy generation cannot. If the process were reversible, then the entropy generation would be zero. However, since all processes in the real world are irreversible, it is said that the entropy of the universe is always increasing. That was my point to the OP.

    Here's an example: Take rigid tank and some refrigerant as the system. If heat is transferred out of the system, the entropy change of the refrigerant will be negative.

    By entropy generation I mean irreversibilities such as friction, mixing, chemical reactions, expansion, etc.

    Entropy generation and entropy transfer are not the same. Entropy transfer can occur by two mechanisms: heat transfer and mass flow. There is no entropy transfer associated with energy transfer as work.

    Entropy describes a thermodynamic state, not a quantity of something physical. So it is very confusing to speak about entropy generation. One does not speak about generating temperature, for example.

    This is not exactly a thermodynamic system. You need some place to deliver the heat to. The system has to include the hot reservoir.

    The entropy change of the refrigerant is always 0 after one complete cycle because it returns to its initial thermodynamic state. The entropy of the cold reservoir is negative in a refrigeration cycle simply because heat flows out of it (dQ<0 so dQ/T < 0). This is the case whether the cycle is reversible or irreversible.

    This is, again, confusing. If I take a Carnot engine system (engine + reservoirs) and I do work that is dissipated by friction externally to the system, is the change in entropy of the system not still zero?

    If entropy is a state function, how is it transferred or generated?

    There can be an entropy change associated with the transfer of work. Consider work done against friction force where the heat generated is transferred to a reservoir: the entropy of the reservoir will increase (by dQ/T = W/T).

    Entropy generation is a well known term used in thermodynamic texts. It is not a term I coined by any means.

    Of course is it a thermodynamic system. Thermodynamics is the study of energy. Let’s put some numbers in and see what happens to the entropy change of this system. Say the tank has 5kg of R134a initially at 20 °C and 140 kPa. The refrigerant is now cooled while being stirred until its pressure drops to 100 kPa.

    Since the tank is rigid [tex] v_2 = v_1 [/tex]. It is a closed system since no mass crosses the system boundary during the process. The entropy change of a substance is simply the difference between the entropy values at the final and initial states. Since the specific volume remains constant during this process the properties of the refrigerant at both states are:

    State 1:

    [tex] P_1 = 140 [/tex] kPa
    [tex] T_1 = 20 [/tex] °C

    Given these two intensive independent properties, one can see from a property table for R134a the following:

    [tex] s_1 = 1.0624 \frac{kJ}{kg \cdot K} [/tex]
    [tex] v_1 = 0.16544 \frac{m^3}{kg} [/tex]

    State 2:

    [tex] P_2 = 100 [/tex] kPa
    [tex] v_2 = v_1 [/tex]

    Using the property table again one finds:

    [tex] V_f = 0.0007259 \frac{m^3}{kg} [/tex]
    [tex] V_g = 0.19252 \frac{m^3}{kg} [/tex]

    From these the quality at state 2 is found to be 0.859.

    [tex] s_2 = s_f + x_2 \cdot s_{fg} = 0.07188 + (0.89)(0.87995) = 0.8278 \frac{kJ}{kg \cdot K} [/tex]

    The entropy change of the refrigerant during this process is:

    [tex] \Delta{S} = m({s_2} - {s_1}) = (5)(0.8278 – 1.0624) \frac{kJ}{kg \cdot K} [/tex]
    EDIT: For some reason latex is not being displayed properly here. Delta S should equal m(s_2 - s_1).

    = -1.173 kJ/K

    Notice the negative sign. This indicates that the entropy of the system is decreasing during this process. This is not a violation of the second law, however, since it is the entropy generation that cannot be negative. This is why one must know the difference between the general term “entropy” and entropy generation. They are not the same. Equating the terms is more confusing, not less.

    BTW, this is not a cyclic device as you seem to think (in my example).

    This was my point all along which you seemed to have been saying wasn’t possible. The stipulation about being reversible simply points out that the entropy generation is zero for a reversible process.

    Friction is an irreversibility of a system. If friction is involved, the entropy generation is positive, not zero.

    Entropy generation is a measure of the magnitudes of the irreversibilities present during a process.

    Being an organized form of energy, work is free of disorder or randomness and thus free of entropy. The work done against a frictional force results in an entropy change due to the irreversibility (i.e. the friction). It is not a result of the work itself, rather it is the fact that the organized energy (work) is being degraded to a less useful form (heat). Hence, the entropy generation is increased.

Binder Loams puts the record straight

UntitledAs Manager of Binder Loams I would like to put the record straight regarding the incorrect information that has been quoted by our competitors hoping to score off our unfortunate circumstances. It's been reported that Monro Horticulture Ltd was placed in Receivership, this is incorrect, it is in Administration. As a result Binder Loams, a division of Monro Horticulture continued to trade throughout the Administration and has since been purchased as a going concern and is now trading as BINDER LOAMS LIMITED.

Despite the administration of Monro Horticulture Ltd and the demise of Monro Sport as a marketing name, Binders continued to trade through this difficult period, there was no break in service at Binders, all orders were fulfilled, all the staff retained and everything continued as normal.

Ongar Loam™, Ongar Loam™ plus, Binders Cricket Pitch Dressing, Super Surrey and now Kaloam 2011 are being produced and are available at any time from Binders. Please call us on 01277 890246 and speak to Sandra or Carole as usual with your orders and if you have any particular problems or queries I will be happy to help you, just ask for Philip Furner.

You will note that we have included Kaloam 2011 within our product range as the Monro Enstone depot that did produce Kaloam last year is no longer operational. We have sourced material, had it analysed for its suitability and ability to be successfully used on existing Kaloam pitches and will be produced to the saBinderLoamsLogome exacting standard as you have come to expect from Binders.

I know there are plenty of people bemoaning the long dry period that we are experiencing this year but this has been a bonus to us, we are further ahead with our production than we have ever been and have ample stocks to fulfil our orders this season.

I do assure you that BINDER LOAMS LIMITED, the new trading company is healthy, and ready to fulfil all the requirements for the coming season.

    Bright lights, big cities

    blur features a huge range of licensed cars to battle and race with including Dodge Vipers, Lotus Exiges, Ford trucks kitted out with F1 engines, a Toyota Supra, Ford Mustangs and even a 1970s Volkswagen Beetle. The game also throws plenty of variety in terms of its tracks your way, which means there is loads of potential for bettering your driving skills and scores with each attempt.

    On your travels you'll compete in major cities around the world including New York, Los Angeles, Barcelona, San Francisco and even Brighton and London. It's worth taking note of each of the tracks and researching each one before you compete because certain cars are better equipped for dealing with courses involving winding streets, sharp corners or long straights.

    BLUR screenshot

    Car wars

    Welcome to the world of blur, the ultimate racing experience that drops you into heart pumping, electrified action with 20 cars vying for the finish line and battling each other as they trade paint. Intense power-ups are what you'll use to gain the upper hand and win the race in blur.

    These include Shock, which fires three Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) fields in front of the lead racer, crippling their car. Mines can be thrown either in front or behind you to slow opponents down, while Barge blasts nearby racers away from you. Other slick weaponry includes Bolt, which allows you to hurl three energy rounds at opponents to nudge them off course and Shunt, a homing missile that can flip cars into the air. There are also Nitrous power-ups, Shields and Repair, ideal for fixing your car up in an instant.

    There are numerous modes too including Destruction, Checkpoint, Race and One-On-One. You can only compete in One-On-One once you have completed a series of challenges set out for you. These challenges include finishing in the top three places and reaching Fan Targets, which are achieved by winning races and acing challenges that involve passing through flashing icons on the racetrack or using three power-ups in a row.

    blur features four categories of cars to get to grips with, and at the outset of the game you're given four cars to race with. The reason for this is because some challenges require the use of all four vehicles to achieve the goals set out for you. The order in which you complete them is entirely up to you.

    BLUR screenshot

    Connect and race

    blur packs in a wealth of multiplayer modes, pitting you against 19 other racers on the track. There is a challenging selection of modes including Motor Mash, where you compete in a destruction derby style event trying to cause as much damage as possible to your opponent in an enclosed space such as a dust bowl or car park.

    Other modes such as Hardcore, World Tour and Power-up throw you into races that involve everything from random track and power-up generators to competing without any power-ups at all. Another interesting aspect of the game is its social networking connectivity with Facebook.

    The game houses a Share Button that, when used, sends various challenges to your friends on Facebook. You can also share game photos, racing statistics and item unlocks, which means you get to show off your skills to all your friends.

Between my inner eyes
The White Raven flees again
The emerging light that springs

On Poetry and the Reallocation of Concentration: Learning to Forget

Written by

Beth Ann Fennelly

Contributor Page

February 21, 2014
Printer-friendly version

All poets seem to agree that writing, when it’s going well, involves a loss of the awareness of time. Writers from Milton to Blake have waxed—well, poetic—on the ecstasy of creativity that nudges us into the realm of the eternal, the kind of engagement that Elizabeth Bishop calls "self-forgetful, perfectly useless concentration," what Alan Shapiro calls "that experience when you sit down at the desk at 10 a.m. and when you look up it’s 6 p.m., when eight hours have gone by as if in a moment." But what exactly is happening in our brains when we cease to become conscious of time? A possible answer comes from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Professor of Psychology and Education at the University of Chicago, whose research on how we engage ourselves in everyday activities could have some interesting revealing implications for the writer who seeks to understand what happens when we lose ourselves in the writing of a poem.

Csikszentmihalyi coined the term "flow" to describe times when one is so deeply engaged in an experience—making love, creating art, playing chess, having a profound conversation with a friend—that time ceases to matter. Deep engagement with these experiences can result in the harmony born from effortless action, what is sometimes termed "being in the zone" for athletes, or "rapture" for mystics. In Finding Flow: The Psychology of Engagement with Everyday Life, he states the conditions in which this harmony is most likely to occur. First, flow-producing activities have "a clear set of goals that require appropriate responses"; poetry writing meets this criterion because each poem sets its own goals in terms of length, music, metrical requirements, and so forth. Secondly, flow activities provide immediate feedback. In the case of poetry, we provide ourselves with feedback as we see each word and line propel the poem toward fulfillment. Finally, flow is more likely to occur when one’s skills are fully engaged in reaching a goal that is difficult but not insurmountable. For poets, the act of writing is sufficiently difficult when one isn’t returning to overly familiar subject matter or steering the poem to a predestined conclusion. Yet the difficulties of composition won’t be insurmountable as long as, during the initial chaos of composition, the poet doesn’t feel unready because she hasn’t written enough, or read enough, to allow for the poem’s necessities to unfold during the window in which they can be apprehended freshly. But when the challenge is high and our skills to meet the challenge are equally high, writes Csikszentmihalyi, "There is no space in consciousness for distracting thoughts, irrelevant feelings. Self-consciousness disappears, yet one feels stronger than usual. The sense of time is distorted: hours seem to pass by in minutes."

So when we sit down at our desk, what needs to happen, it seems, is a concentration reallocation. Instead of paying 5% of our attention to twenty things, we need to pay 100% of our attention to the One Big Thing, in this case, the emerging poem. Sometimes, the other things that beg for our attention won’t give up without a fight. But we need to be professional amnesiacs, to tune out the phone ringing, the chastisement of the Visa bill, the visitor from Porlock. Not always—not often—but sometimes, we succeed in our forgetting to such an extent that the world shrinks to the 8.5 by 11 inch paper in front of us.

As poets, we put so much stock in the need to remember that perhaps we undervalue the importance of forgetting and our brain’s amazing ability to reallocate its concentration. But our brain’s neurotransmitters enact a marvelous push-and-pull between forgetting and remembering at every moment of the day. We only become aware of this chemical dance, however, during its most extreme fluctuations. An example of such a concentration shift that differs from a flow experience is when a mother gives birth and starts having problems remembering where she put her keys, her gloves, her head. What’s happening is that the chemicals in her brain are ensuring her short-term memory contains all the data concerning her newborn to the exclusion of any other data. Doctors term this "placenta brain." (How I wish I knew, after having my first baby, that my new stupidity was a chemical reaction. I thought I was losing my mind. How comforting! A name! What I had had a name!). It makes evolutionary sense that the mother concentrates exclusively on the baby’s needs. And in the same way, it makes evolutionary sense that, when birthing a poem, the poet concentrates exclusively on its creation.

So, to return to our original question, what exactly is happening in our brains when we cease to become conscious of time? We are narrowing the aperture of our concentration to condense and magnify its power. We forget the daily distractions and enter into the poem so deeply that a more radical forgetting take place—the forgetting of fossilized languages that lead to writing, and thinking in, clichés. We also forget the inherited relationships between people and things that prevent us from achieving new insights, new metaphors. We can forget enough so the blinders of habits and the cobwebs of irony are stripped and we are faced with the born world, dewy and dazzle-dripping. We can, through the discipline of forgetting, regain the child’s eyes of wonder. We can train our souls to recover "radical innocence," as W. B. Yeats advises. We can do the impossible: live in the moment. Which is another way of saying: live in eternity.

      Preflop I don't mind calling.

      What do you think about checking back the flop? I think this is a decent option, since we are having the the second best ace high so we have some SD value.

      As played, I would bet the turn as well.
      Once he raises I don't think he has FD ever since I expect him to bet it on the flop. It quite much depends on whether or not we think he is shoving worse Ax here.
      Without information, I would probably call here as well.

March 13th, 2013 Meeting Minutes

Portland Buy Local Meeting Minutes

March 13th, 2013

Present: Kristen Smith, Emily Wiederkehr Rothschild, Doug Johnson, Tony Cox, Allen Baldwin, Jan Beitzer, Joe Gervais, Elliott Teel, Brianna Courneya, Will Cary, Joan Leitzer, Mary Marsh

Absent: Stuart Gersen, Danielle Marks, Michelle Smith, John Rooks

Motion to accept January and February minutes, seconded. All in favor, none opposed.

Tony Cox briefly introduced himself. There was a motion to elect him to the Portland Buy Local Board of Directors, which was then seconded. All in favor, none opposed.

Marketing: The new Directory cover is being finalized in its 4th draft. It’s a good representation of Portland with a Monument Square scene.

The Shift campaign is going well. Deb Tenenbaum, a volunteer on the Marketing Committee, has offered to spearhead and coordinate a media campaign for the Shift themes. The entire Buy Local mission will be publicized each month, with the particular monthly theme and relevant businesses highlighted.

WMPG has asked if we’d trade for an ad in the Directory. Discussion centered around concern about opening up this option for members, and how/where we’d draw the line on decisions. It was decided that we would not trade for any ads except the Joe Bornstein Time and Temp Clock ad swap.

Mixer: next Mixer is a dog-friendly Mixer taking place at Planet Dog on 3/28.

Portland Presents: our ad is reserved and we need to design it.

T Shirt: the committee is looking to design a new one

 Membership: Deadline for renewing is March 22nd. This Friday morning we’ll be stuffing and stamping the second renewal mailing. Please take a printout of the renewal list so that you can start making calls and sending e-mails to encourage renewal.

Mary confirmed with the Marketing Committee that there will be a poster to deliver to each business when they receive their Directories in June.

She would also like us to give each business a new decal.

Annual Meeting: April 10th at Local Sprouts Cooperative. Committee Chairs should be prepared to report out on their work this year. Then there will be Q+A with members.

Local Sprouts asked if we would trade ¼ page ad for space rental and food for the meeting. Board feels we should not trade or do in-kind, and so we’ll pay them outright ($250) for the space rental and food.

Annual Meeting info is not newsletter material. Just for members.

Bri hoped this could be a chance to thank volunteers from the past year. Kristen agreed it would be a nice thank-you opportunity. We could make certificates or give small gifts.

Looking ahead, the Executive Committee needs to think about doing some long-term planning in a Strategic Planning Session. Kristen proposed sometime in May for an afternoon/evening session at a Board member’s house (Joan’s was perfect two years ago). We could spend about $1000 on a facilitator and food.

Movement to hold a strategic planning session in May and spend $1000, then seconded. All in favor, none opposed.

Conference on Maine Businesses for Sustainability: April 3rd. Emily can go and represent Buy Local. A vendor table costs $100, and Board felt it was worth spending. We can bring educational materials, last year’s Directory, signup information, and a laptop.

Hiring new Ambassador: We are calling it “Ambassador” and not “Administrative Ambassador”

Job description emphasizes tech skills.

Movement to accept description, seconded. All in favor, none opposed.

Emily will post description on our website and on with an application due date of March 30th. We can do our job training at PDD.

It was recommended that applicants submit an application as well as resume and references.

For this position, we have the option of renting workspace from PDD. It’s very inexpensive (for shared space). We can also provide laptop and cell phone. We’re at the point we need a phone number for our members. Motion to approve renting space from PDD, getting a laptop, and getting a prepaid cell phone for our new employee. Seconded. All in favor, none opposed.

Thank you sustaining members!

Highmark Snubs Patients and Doctors, Favors Computer to Decide Treatment

On January 1, 2013, Highmark plans to implement the PMMP on one of the state's largest purchasers of health insurance: the Pennsylvania Employee Benefits Trust Fund- serving the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's tens of thousands of employees.
Spread the Word
Listed Under

Harrisburg - Pennsylvania - US

Aug. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Despite requests from the Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association (PCA) and others to cancel or postpone the implementation of what is known as the Physical Medicine Management Program (PMMP), on September 1 Pittsburgh-based Highmark will kick the concept of determining proper treatment, known as medical necessity, to a computer algorithm, rather than conclusions reached by the patient and treating health care professional.

Ironically, the first impact to be felt is within “physical medicine”- “high touch” services provided predominantly by Doctors of Chiropractic, physical therapists and occupational therapists.  If allowed to be implemented by Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Michael Consedine, the program will impact many patients as early as September 1, resulting in patients being denied care by a computer.

Highmark’s PMMP is also in opposition to Highmark’s own medical policies, the Chiropractic Manipulative Services and Physical Therapy Services and Procedures.  These medical policies state that medical necessity (covered therapy services) ends when, “therapeutic goals of a treatment plan have been achieved, or when no additional functional progress is apparent or expected to occur.”

Attorney Charles Artz of Harrisburg-based Artz Health Law, special counsel to the PCA opined, “Medical policy gives the provider the right to conduct a real-time analysis of the patient, based upon clinical examination and evaluation and a prospectively based, reasonable expectation that the treatment proposed will cause functional progress to occur.  Algorithms contradict and are inconsistent with the doctor’s right and professional obligation to establish therapeutic goals in the treatment plan.”

The PCA vehemently opposes Highmark’s PMBM program. Simply put, it is very bad medicine.

Reader’s Note: For a comprehensive summary of this issue and PCA’s intervention with Highmark, please go to PCA’s web site home page, http://www.pennchiro.org

Lernabit Introduces The Pareto Series

A new line of products from Lernabit helps you learn faster and more efficiently.
FARGO, N.D. - April 7, 2014 - PRLog -- A new product line from Lernabit makes learning a new topic faster and more efficient than ever. By using a math trick discovered in the early 1900's, the Pareto Series makes the most efficient use of time by learning the small amount of a topic that will give you a basic understanding of that topic.

The Pareto Series is based on the Pareto Principle, an idea that states that a small amount of input results in a large amount of the output. By leveraging this concept, Pareto Guides focus on the small amount of a topic that results in a general understanding of that topic, giving you a quick overview in easy-to-understand terms.

The first guide in the series covers the topic of The Big Bang theory, with more on the way. Other topics in the future will cover topics ranging from math, science, and technology to art, history, and biographies.

With the Pareto Series, you can learn faster and understand a broad range of topics. More information can be found at http://www.lernabit.com/pareto. Learn more. Learn faster. Lernabit.

Intense indoor cycling and aerobic workout

Spinning is an indoor cycling class using special ‘fixed wheel’ bikes (in other words you can’t backpedal or freewheel). It derived from the indoor training that real cyclists do, and is a very intense aerobic workout, with a strong lower body focus. In one study into spinning, the average heart rate of participants was 87 per cent of maximum!

Spinning classes are often done in a darkened room, during which the instructor encourages participants to visualize they are out on a real cycle, encountering hills and challenges along the way. Some strength work is done in the saddle, too.

CV fitness rating High
Strength rating Moderate for lower legs, low elsewhere.
Flexibility rating Low
Challenge rating High
Complexity rating Low
Benefits Strong motivational element from the instructor.

Get yourself some padded cycling shorts if you are going to become a regular spinner – those saddles are pretty uncomfortable …

This patient came to our office with exposed roots, which can be found in many areas of the mouth. The lower anterior teeth is an area where we see recession of the gums and exposed roots. and these areas should be treated as well. Roots that are exposed are detrimental to the longevity and health of your teeth. Periodontists have a multitude of treatment options to cover exposed roots and create a healthy smile.

It is the first week on my invisalign treatment and i've noticed the toothache subside little by little. Unfortuanately the top of my mouth behing my front two teeth always seem to bleed, especially in the morning. It's swollen also. Is this normal?

Doctor Answers 5

Some Invisalign aligners need to be trimmed

Once in awhile, patients do develop sore areas on their gums from the aligners rubbing, but this is easily solved by having your dentist trim the Invisalign aligners.  Contact your dentist right away to determine if this is the solution, or if something else might be going on with your gums.

Bleeding and soreness with aligners

Definitely contact your invisialign provider as there is most likely a problem.  It may be minor, but if you wait, it can become major.  Beeding usually indicates irritation triggered by something.

Palate Bleeding

I would recommend that you call your orthodontist right away and explain the situation.  It is quite likely that they will want to see you to see what is happening.

Clark L. Jones, DDS, MSD
Phoenix Orthodontist

Aligners causing bleeding

You should go to your doctor immediately and see what the problem is.   THey may be overextended into the gums and need to be trimmed back.  This would be rare.  SOmething else may be going on as well.  This should be diagnosed and resolved quickly

Lawrence Singer, DMD
Washington Dentist
5.0 out of 5 stars 4 reviews

Invisalign aligners may be putting pressure on your gums.

It is not normal for the gums to be swollen or bleed with the aligners.  It sounds like the aligner may be digging into your gums causing irritation.  Please go back to your treating doctor and see if the aligner needs to be trimmed back.

Overnight After Rhinoplasty

Most doctors say it is important to have someone watch you overnight after rhinoplasty. What should they be looking out for?

Doctor Answers 10

Someone with you overnight after Rhinoplasty

 Not only is it a good idea but in some states it is required that you have a responsible adult with you after Rhinoplasty or any surgery that has been given instructions on your post surgical medications and care.  This is for your safety so you don't take the wrong medication, wrong amount or have some medical issue that you are unable to call for help.

Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon
4.6 out of 5 stars 24 reviews

First Night after Rhinoplasty Surgery

Yes, most plastic surgeons recommend a friend or family member to be with you the first day after cosmetic surgery, such as rhinoplasty. Commonly, they are assisting with obtaining medications, wound care, and other care instructions.  They may also help with simple or practical things such as food preparation or childcare. Lastly, you won't be able to drive for the first day after anesthesia.

More importantly the caregiver is "looking out for you". After anesthesia, you will be tired and possibly disoriented. Don't hesitate to contact your rhinoplasty surgeon with any questions. Best of luck.

Dr. Chaboki

Houtan Chaboki, MD

Early rhinoplasty recovery

After any kind of anesthesia you will be unable to drive to the pharmacy if a different medication is needed or to deal with a possible complication (i.e. bleeding)

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS
Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon
4.8 out of 5 stars 213 reviews

Reason for recommendation to be watched overnight by someone following a rhinoplasty

The recommendation that you attribute to several doctors of needing a person to stay with you overnight following a rhinoplasty can actually be applied to all surgical procedures that have been performed under general anesthesia where you are discharged to home the same day. The area of concern relates to effects from general anesthesia including drowsiness and confusion which in actuality are extremely low for low risk, healthy individuals. For a rhinoplasty, the most threatening issue is uncontrolled or profuse bleeding which is, fortunately, quite rare.

Steven Turkeltaub, MD
Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon
4.9 out of 5 stars 30 reviews

Rhinoplasty Recovery

I would agree with your surgeon, especially if you have a general anesthesia because most people take about 24 hours to fully recover from the anesthesia. Complications, such as heavy bleeding, are rare but if they do occur it is usually in the first 24 hours and it is safer to have someone with you who can call for assistance. In most cases, the family or friend caregiver will be there to make you more comfortable and to provide reassurance.

Joseph Fata, MD
Indianapolis Plastic Surgeon
5.0 out of 5 stars 97 reviews

Overnight help after surgery

It is a good idea to have someone with you overnight after any surgery.  Their job primarily is to look out for you.  You may be tired, drowsy, sore, nauseous, or all of the above.  Someone to get you medicine and food, help you up to bathroom if you need it, and just to keep you company can be a great help.   In the rare instances when there is an emergency or problem, such as bleeding or high fevers, your companion can call the doctor or 911 and get help if you are unable to do it.

Adam Hamawy, MD
Princeton Plastic Surgeon
4.8 out of 5 stars 48 reviews

Overnight After Rhinoplasty

After any surgery involving some type of anesthesia, it is important you have someone with you the first night to watch out for your general well being including bleeding, breathing and excessive fever or pain as well as giving you medication and food etc. You will be somewhat drowsy but responsive.

Mohsen Tavoussi, MD, DO
Orange County Facial Plastic Surgeon
4.6 out of 5 stars 12 reviews

Help after rhinoplasty

Most of the help after the surgery is dealing with the recovery from anesthesia.  There is also the possibility of bleeding and airway issues.  These are rare but it is nice to have someone around.  Donald R. Nunn MD  Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Donald Nunn, MD
Atlanta Plastic Surgeon
4.9 out of 5 stars 46 reviews

Help at home after rhinoplasty

Help is nice though not essential the first night after rhinoplasty. It is very unlikely that medication will make you incoherent or unable to care for yourself. It is nice to have someone around who cares, but not much to watch out for.

Best of luck,

Peter E. Johnson, MD
Chicago Plastic Surgeon
4.1 out of 5 stars 41 reviews

Important to have a caregiver with you following surgery.

It's important to have a caregiver with you following any surgery including rhinoplasty.  Their role is more supportive than "looking out" for anything in particular.  After undergoing anesthesia, you will feel tired, groggy, and sometimes disoriented.  Your caregiver will help ensure you are taking your post-operative medications (pain control, sometimes antibiotics, and/or anti-nausea medication).  Additionally, they will help you get to the rest-room, provide you with fluids, and possibly a light easily digestible meal.

Finally, it's quite normal for your nose to ooze blood and mucous following a rhinoplasty, and you're caregiver will help you change your dressings and provide wound-care (as per your individual surgeon).  As mentioned, these are more supportive roles than true observation.  Have your caregiver chat with your surgeon immediately following surgery so they know the details of your operation and how best to care for you in the immediate post-operative period.
