What does your kitchen color say about you?

Kitchen Color affects Weight, Nutrition, Health & Mood
Your kitchen is the center of your nutritional hub. It’s where you make your decisions on how (and how often) to fuel your own body, and the bodies of others you may be responsible for feeding. For some of you, it’s also the place where meals are served and consumer: at a bar or island, for example, or a casual kitchen table.
You’ve already taken control of what goes in your refrigerator; now summer’s your chance to take control of the mood your kitchen sets. Believe it or not, the color of your kitchen walls can have an impact on your diet. Perhaps it’s time to evaluate how you want your kitchen to make you feel, and seize the day.

Learn how to get started on your weight loss!

First of all, there’s a reason that McDonald’s, Burger King, and every fast food restaurant known to man incorporates red and yellow in their logos and décor. Want to guess why? Let’s start with yellow. This cheery hue is good for optimism and hope. But it also stimulates the appetite, pure and simple. You just thought you wanted a salad . . . now you want a Big Mac with fries.

Yellow is happy, but to overweight people, it can also be a tad dangerous when applied to kitchen walls. Better to let a good workout stimulate the appetite than the mere presence of a color.

Unless, of course, you are underweight. (Yes, we know you’re out there, even though those “other” people get all the reality shows). Need to beef up? Head for the yellow section of the paint store and slather it on. Think butter, egg yolks, lemons . . . mmm, I’m getting hungry already. But yellow helps the memory, so it could be useful if mom’s not available for a recipe consult.

Orange stimulates learning. If you’re a new cook, or aspiring chef or nutritionist, opt for orange. As for red, it is a complex color, perhaps the most of all. Red engages us and brings out our emotions. Remember the saying “seeing red?” Here’s the amazing thing about this color: to calm people, it is exciting, in a good way, a little thrilling. But for folks who are more anxious in nature, red is disturbing.

The last thing you want is to be disturbed 8-12 times a day, so be honest with yourself about your nature, and that of others with whom you may live.
Red walls trigger the release of adrenaline (which can be good for cooking, I suppose). And like yellow, it also stimulates the appetite, while simultaneously stimulating the sense of smell. If your idea of a romantic evening is enjoying a glass of red wine, cutting up some veggies, and canoodling, while sautéing a clove or two of garlic . . . then you know what to do. Red walls can also increase your blood pressure and breathing rate, but then again, you’ll never know if it’s the walls or the canoodling.

Blue is opposite of yellow, on the color wheel, and in terms of appetite. It decreases blood pressure, the breathing rate, and the desire to eat, as do indigo and violet. So if you’re determined to drop 20, 30, even 40 pounds . . . coat your walls in hues of blueberries, grapes or plums. This will also remind you to eat antioxidants, which is a good thing. You win on two counts! Pink is also proven as a winning weight-control color, at none other than prestigious Johns Hopkins Medical University in Baltimore.

Violet is known for its ability to create balance. So as you’re planning your menus or dishing out portions of lean protein, fresh veggies and multigrain bread, look to your walls for inspiration. (Violet is also good for migraine sufferers)

This brings us to green, the color of all things fresh and good for our bodies. Green is relaxing, and also creates a sense of balance. It relaxes the body, and helps those who suffer from nervousness, anxiety or depression. Green may also aid in raising blood histamine levels, reducing sensitivity to food allergies. Antigens may also be stimulated by green, for overall better immune system healing. They don’t tell us this in the paint section at Home Depot, do they?

Placing your sunlit fresh herbs near a green wall brings the outdoors in. Which might also make you think about starting a garden, going for a walk or run, or cycling around the neighborhood. This is a win-win.

Brown enhances a feeling of security, reduces fatigues and is relaxing. Black is a power color. If you have six-packs and you know it, raise your hand. Gray is the most neutral of all colors for the kitchen: not much happening there. Brighter hues inspire creativity and energy, while darker colors are peaceful and lower stress. Beige and off white are “learning” colors, if you need to justify it to a partner with a bright personality.

Make good choices, on your walls, as well as your plate. What color should your kitchen be?

Family, Friends & Food

with Elaine Sirt-Hastings, RD, LD/N

My childhood has been filled with memories of some of the most wonderful family gatherings that included a huge extended family of aunts, uncles, 1st, 2nd & even 3rd cousins; if you were not blood related by the time you left one of our gatherings you became an adopted family member. Coming from a traditional European family (consisting of Turkish, Hungarian, Armenian and Polish decent), you would find some of the most exotic homemade dishes such as Pierogies covered in sour cream, Chicken Paprikash laden with sour cream and served over dumplings, Cream of Mushroom soup poured over the most fluffy, buttered filled mashed potatoes and Rice Pilaf sautéed in butter. Of course the aroma would fill the air of all the delicious deserts such as rolled coffee cakes filled with nuts, poppy seeds and sugar.

As I entered my teenage years, I realized that many of these people that I come to love were passing away at very early age due to health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease brought on by their poor eating habits (many in their 50s); at the same time as I found myself dealing with my own self image to manage my weight. I was driven not to gain weight and became obsessed with being the best athlete that I could be; the problem was that I did not think about nutrition and hindered my chance to be a pro-athlete. Recognizing that poor eating habits jeopardized my ability to live a happy and healthy life was the turning point in my life and it was than that I made my decision to become a Registered Dietitian so that I could help others who struggle with their eating habits.

Today’s society has marketed a belief that there is a miracle pill out there; anybody who tells you you’re going to drop 10 pounds in five days and keep it off is not offering you a health eating plan that should include a variety of food groups. Fad diets will not teach you how to eat in moderation and watch your portion sizes (have you noticed they come and go). Today my family continues their traditional family gatherings, but many of these exotic dishes have been replaced by low and fat free dishes. Our family is much more committed to change those statistics of dying young. You will find our family and friends being very open with each other and sharing their struggles with food, lack of exercise and encouraging each other to keep trying. When you ask me why I choose my career path, all you have to do is look around at the human race and see how we are struggling to remain healthy as we continue to live in a world that is a faster pace than we can keep up with.

When to buy organic produce?

DietLike.Me with Elaine Sirt-Hastings
We should celebrate, though. Florida is a fertile source for many produce favorites and when our growing season is over, our neighbors to the north are still harvesting delicious fresh vegetables and fruits for us to enjoy.

Eat Great. Be Great

Savannah Hastings. The Nutrition Kid

We learn that ignorance is bliss, however, when we discover that celery can be coated in 67 pesticides. Yes, sorry, that tuna salad in the fridge is possibly dosing your family with chemicals designed to kill weeds and creepy crawly pests.
However, a new report by nonprofit public health advocates Environmental Working Group is a blessing to all of us who like to keep our produce drawers full and our doctor visits to a minimum.
The report is the result of poring through thousands and thousands of USDA pesticide reports. This determined which fruits and veggies have the best and worst chemical residue.

Here’s the good news. You can reduce your pesticide exposure by up to 80 percent simply by buying the organic version of the 12 worst offenders. This is an easy change which makes a major difference in your family’s health risks. And you’ll be hard-pressed to say it’s an expensive change, when you factor the cost against the reward.
The U.S. government says ingesting low volumes of pesticide is not harmful. But several scientific studies have shown possible links between pesticides and cancer, nervous system problems, weakened immune systems and attention deficit disorder.
The “Dirty Dozen” produce list is compiled of 12 items that contain 47 to 67 pesticides per serving. Here, in no particular order, are the 12 fruits and veggies you should definitely consider buying in the organic version: apples, celery, domestic blueberries, imported grapes, lettuce, nectarines, peaches, potatoes, spinach/kale/collard greens, strawberries and sweet bell peppers. The report lumps all the dark leafy greens together, making them easier to remember.
You’ll have to go to a little more effort to find organic versions of the risky 12, but you do have options. Mother Earth Natural Foods, Whole Foods, Fresh Market and The Sandy Butler carry many of these items in their organic section. Sweetbay and Publix also offer pesticide-free produce, so take note what’s available in the store where you usually shop, or explore a new source.
Punta Gorda’s own Worden Farm has a subscription service for its organic produce; check out its website to see what’s grown there.
I also like to buy cage-free, organic eggs.
The report’s news isn’t all bad. Have a look at the fruits and veggies that are least likely to be covered in pesticides, but don’t get these lists mixed up.
The cleanest produce outside the organic section are logically deduced, to some degree: many have protective outer coverings that are inedible. They include asparagus, avocados, cabbage, cantaloupe, eggplant, grapefruit, kiwi, mango, onions, pineapple, sweet corn, sweet onions, sweet peas, sweet potatoes and watermelon.
You might want to tuck this column into your purse or glove box until its contents are committed to memory. Now what’s for dinner?

The Nutrition Kid: Lions and tigers and berries, oh my!

Nutrition Notes: Berries may slow aging, protect against ailments

By: The Nutrition Kid

Elaine Sirt, RD, LD/N, CSSD

Lions and tigers and berries, oh my! When following the yellow brick road to good health, berries are a wonderful snack to enjoy along the way.

You may already be adding sliced strawberries to your granola or cereal in the morning, but once you uncover the many different health benefits of berries, you will want to add those little marvels to every meal. Why not? They are berry, berry good for your skin, health and heart. Check out one of my favorite skin care experts…  Brazilian Silouette

Berries are the perfect snack food. Not only are they naturally sweet and low in calories, but they are also high in fiber, making them a great choice for fending off the between-meal munchies. In addition, berries are loaded with vitamin C and powerful antioxidant that give your immune system a boost while helping to prevent the cell damage that leads to diseases such as cancer.
Eating the sweet treats may even help slow down the natural aging process, improving skin’s appearance from the inside out. Berries are truly little wonders of nature. Each type of berry carries its own special health properties.
For example:

– Blueberries contain anthocyanins, a group of

antioxidants that help with memory functions.

– Raspberries are full of ellagic acid, a compound that is known for its cancer-fighting abilities.

– Strawberries are high in vitamin C, a powerful anti-inflammatory agent.

– Cranberries contain compounds that can treat or prevent many urinary tract infections.

In addition, research is under way to determine how different berries contribute to weight loss. In order to obtain the wide spectrum of health benefits that berries provide, it is best to add a variety of different types to your diet.

Choosing from the large selection of berries that are available in your local farmers market, supermarket or health food store will prove to be a fun and delicious experience. Along with the more well-known choices such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and cranberries, expand your tastes by Exploring the delectable flavors of blackberries, boysenberries, currants and honeyberries.

Selecting fresh, local, organic berries is always the best option, yet berries retain most of their nutritional value even when they are frozen or dehydrated. So, stock up on fresh berries when they are in season, but feel free to opt for canned, frozen and dried berries to benefit from their valuable phytonutrients year-round.

Just be sure to read nutrition labels when buying dried or frozen berries. Steer clear of those that contain added sugar or are packed in heavy syrup, which adds unnecessary calories.

With just a quick rinse, most berries are ready to be tossed into a storage bag or portable container for easy snacking on the go. While berries are delicious and easy to enjoy on their own, there are many more ways to enjoy those nutritional powerhouses.

– Blend frozen berries with fat-free yogurt for a refreshing smoothie.

– Top fresh berries with low-fat whipped topping for a speedy dessert.

– Add berries to whole-grain waffles or pancakes for a filling breakfast.

– Layer berries with granola and yogurt for a decadent parfait.

Now that you know the numerous health benefits surrounding berries, and are ready to add them to every meal, head out to your local market or produce stand to load up on the ultimate treat – just watch out for any lions, tigers and bears on the way.

Men’s HEALTH and VITAMIN D… Are you defecient?

Are you defecient?

42% Of Americans Are Deficient In Vitamin D.

Here’s How That Affects Your HealthThis shockingly common health problem can take years off your life
June 22, 2016

Don’t end up with vitamin d deficiency!

Savannah Hastings + vitamin D

Savannah Hastings + vitamin D

If you live in North America, there’s a pretty good chance you’re low on vitamin D. About 42% of U.S. adults are deficient in the nutrient, according to the journal Nutrition Research.

And that’s not good. A vitamin D deficiency is associated with a slew of health risks.

No one’s exactly sure why low levels of D are tied with poorer health outcomes. However, experts suggest that the Institute of Medicine’s current recommended daily intake—600 IU for men and women—is simply too low.

“Optimal blood levels of vitamin D to reduce your risk of disease is 28 to 42 ng/mL,” says Joel Fuhrman, MD, author of Super Immunity. “Many people need about 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day to achieve that level.”

He suggests getting your vitamin D levels checked by your doctor in order to determine how much D you need to raise your levels within the optimal range.

Here’s the lowdown on how a vitamin D deficiency can seriously compromise your well-being and take years off your life.

1. You’re more likely to be depressed.

People with low levels of vitamin D in their blood were more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression than those with higher levels, according to a study in the British Journal of Psychiatry that included more than 31,000 participants.

The hippocampus and other areas of the brain involved in regulating your mood contain vitamin D receptors, so low levels may affect the ability of these regions to function normally, researchers suggest.

2. You’re less likely to survive cancer.

Cancer patients who have higher levels of vitamin D when they’re diagnosed tend to live longer and remain in remission longer than patients who are deficient, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Researchers found that every 10-point increase in vitamin D levels was associated with a 4 percent increase in survival among people with cancer. The strongest link between vitamin D and survival rates were found in patients with lymphoma, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer.

3. You’re more likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer.

The risk of aggressive prostate cancer was 4 to 5 times greater in men with low vitamin D levels, according to a study in the journal Clinical Cancer Research. The reason isn’t yet understood, though researchers say that screening for vitamin D deficiency and treating it may become an essential part of cancer care.

4. You have an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Adults who were moderately deficient in vitamin D had a 53 percent increased risk of developing dementia, and those who were severely deficient had a 125 percent increased risk of the disease compared to individuals with healthy levels, reports a study in the journal Neurology.

A deficiency in the nutrient was also associated with up to a 122 percent increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

More research is needed to better understand the connection, but researchers suggest that you face a double whammy as you age: Not only are you more at risk of developing cognitive problems, your skin becomes less efficient at converting sunlight into vitamin D, putting you at an increased risk of deficiency.

5. You may be more likely to have psoriatic arthritis.

About 30 percent of patients who have psoriasis also have a condition called psoriatic arthritis, in which the immune system attacks the joints causing pain and inflammation.

And a recent study found that up to 62 percent of people with psoriatic arthritis have insufficient levels of vitamin D, reports the journal Arthritis Care & Research. Previous research shows that low levels of D may make inflammatory conditions such as psoriatic arthritis worse, possibly by increasing white blood cell levels.

6. You may be at risk for more severe heart disease.

People with vitamin D deficiency had a 32 percent increased risk of coronary artery disease compared to those with normal levels.

They were also 20 percent more likely to have a severe form of the disease, affecting multiple vessels, according to research presented at last year’s American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session.

Vitamin D may improve immune function and control inflammation throughout the body, which can help reduce the risk of heart trouble, researchers say. (Check out 7 more weird ways you’re increasing your risk of heart disease.)

7. You could get pneumonia.

The risk of developing pneumonia is more than 2.5 times greater in people with the lowest vitamin D levels in their blood, researchers at the University of Eastern Finland found. Previous research suggests that vitamin D deficiency weakens the immune system, which increases your risk of contracting illnesses such as respiratory infections.

8. You’re more at risk of being developing schizophrenia.

People with vitamin D deficiency were more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia compared to people who had sufficient blood levels of the vitamin, reports the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. More research is needed to understand the role vitamin D plays in psychiatric health.

9. It may speed up multiple sclerosis.

Previous research has found that low vitamin D levels are associated with an increased risk of neuromuscular disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and others. Now, a new study suggests that if you have multiple sclerosis, low levels of D could speed the severity and progression of the disease, JAMA Neurology reports.

Researchers found that early-stage multiple sclerosis patients with adequate levels of vitamin D had a 57 percent lower rate of new brain lesions and a 57 percent lower relapse rate than those with lower vitamin D levels.

Identifying and treating vitamin D deficiency should become part of the care newly diagnosed patients receive and may actually boost the effectiveness of certain therapies such as interferon beta-1b, the researchers say.

10. You’re more likely to die prematurely.

People with low blood levels of vitamin D are more likely to pass away sooner than those with normal levels, reports an analysis of 32 studies published in The American Journal of Public Health.

People with vitamin D levels less than 30 ng/mL had the highest risk of premature death due to all causes than those with levels greater than 30 ng/mL. More isn’t always better: Researchers found no additional benefit for people with levels above 50 ng/mL.

It calls me "cerebral." I call it a tapped-out lazy self-indulgent whore. You think I'm being harsh, but I've been living with it for thirty-six years, plus that whole time-share womb period. Let's just call it irreconcilable differences.

If anyone knows where I can meet a nice body, twenty-two to twenty-four, with moderate hormones and a decent rack, please let me know. Thanks!

[The importance of serum albumin level in patients with chronic renal disease on maintenance dialysis]

TÓTH Csitkovicsné Tünde1, SZAKÁCS Gyuláné1, KULCSÁR Imre1,2

AUGUST 30, 2017

Journal of Nursing Theory and Practice - 2017;30(04)

[The aim of the study: Evaluation of changes in serum albumin levels and their effects on mortality in chronic haemodialyzed (HD) population. Material and Methods: We analysed the serum albumin values and survival in 253 HD patients, in a retrospective observational study. Data were analyzed using Spearman-correlation, Cox-modell, endpoint analysis and Kaplan-meier analysis. Results: We did not find any significant correlation between serum albumin levels and gender or basic diseases, but the median serum albumin level was lower in patients with ages 65 years or older than in younger ones, and had decreased until observational period (5.4±3.0 years). Lower the serum albumin level the risk of mortality was higher (if the serum albumin level was <35 g/L versus >40 g/L), the HR was 5.69. Conclusions: The serum albumin level is a main indicator of the nutrition in dialyzed patients, but the target level would be different in older and younger patients. The serious malnutrition (lower serum albumin level) increases the risk of mortality in haemodialyzed patients.]

[Milestone in the Development of the Primary Health Care]

GUTÁSI Éva, TÓTH Baloghné Edit, LÁZÁR Marsiné Erika

[All health care systems in Europe face similar challenges. In Hungary the most important one is the emigration of health system workers and the increasing demand for care in ageing population. Key areas of the development of primary health care are prevention, public health and health promotion. In The Primary Care Development Model Program the single-handed general practices comprised of one GP, one nurse and one health visitor who were teamed up and formed the GP’s cluster employing various other health professionals (including community nurses). In the last 4 years the new primary care system became a reality for 40,000 inhabitants of four disadvantaged micro-regions of Hungary. The health status of more than 20.000 adults and 8000 children were assessed between 2013 and 2017 in the Modell Programme that uncovered a number of hidden diseases.]

[Workplace conflicts in health care]

[Health care requires the cooperation of many professions and often comes with stressful situations. Therefore conflicts might develop among health care providers more frequently. Moreover the staff is interdependent, which might be another source of conflicts. This phenomenon not only affects the crossing parties, but also triggers emotional changes in the individuals (anger, stress and negative emotions) and has long term consequences, too (medical malpractice, fluctuation, sick leaves, discontent patients and bad reputation of the institution). All these can have financial effects, e.g. law costs. The present publication discusses the different definitions of conflicts and explains their reasons and types. This article has a special focus on health-care team conflicts, their consequences and the possible management methods.]

[The role of a weekly geriatric exercise programme in successful aging]

KOVÁCS Éva, VIRÁG Anikó, DUDÁS Flóra, ERDŐS Réka, PETRIDISZ Anna Niké, ROZS Franciska

[Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to examine the effects of a weekly held group multicomponent exercise programme (consisting of aerobic, strengthening, flexibiliy, and balance exercises) on the functional abilities (muscle strength, walking speed, and static balance) among elderly people. Methods: Thirty eight older people were divided into two groups: the active group for those elderly who took part is the training for at least 2 years, and the inactive group for those who did not take part in the training before. The global muscle strength in the lower extremity was measured with the 5 sit-to-tand test, the walking speed was measured with the 4 meters walking test. To examine the static balance, we used the one-leg stance test. To determine the subjective well-being, a Visual Analog Scale was used. Results: The Active group was significantly better in 5 sit-to-tand test (t(36)=2,602; p=0,013; Cohen’d=0,99), and marginally significant difference was found in the 4 meters walking test (t(36)= 1,769; p=0,085; Cohen’d=0,66) to the benefit of the Active group. In the term of static balance, we could not find significant difference. Conclusions: This programme for elderly people is effective to improve the global lower limb muscle strenght and walking speed of the elderly, but not very effective in improving static balance.]

[Nutritional status of hemodialysis patients, and the role of dietician in the complex care of renal patients]

POLNER Kálmán, KOVÁCS Lívia, HARIS Ágnes

[In chronic renal failure severe cardiovascular complications develop, which are the cause of death in 50% of the patients. According to recent results, behind the accelerated atherosclerosis, malnutrition and inflammation, developing in patients with chronic renal failure, play significant role. Malnutrition and inflammation show close relationship to the serum albumin level, which is an independent predictor of mortality. Authors studied the nutritional parameters of 94 chronically hemodialysis patients. Patients had been dialysed for more than three months, for 3×4-4.5 hours weekly. Among them 36% had diabetes. According to BMI (body mass index) 42.5% of the patients was normally nourished (20-24 kg/m2), 11.7% of them had malnutrition, 28.7% was overweight, and 17.1% was mildly or moderately obese. Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), calculated by dietician, revealed, that 47.9% of the patients has normal nutritional condition, all the others had some degree of malnutrition. Serum albumin level showed close correlation with the nutritional status, also with an inflammatory marker, the CRP. Only 63.8% of the patients had higher than 40g/l serum albumin. Those, who had higher than 10 mg/l CRP value, had significantly lower serum albumin (38.7±3.4 g/l), comparing to the albumin of the patients, whose CRP was below 10 mg/l (40.5±3.9 g/l, p=0.04). Comparing anthropometrical data, there was no significant difference between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Grouping patients by their ages, the malnutrition, defined by SGA scores and by serum albumin level, was significantly worse in patients older than 80 years, than in the younger than 50 years old subjects, which signals increased risk of mortality of the elderly patients. A case presentation demonstrates, that malnutrition can be diagnosed at early stage by appropriate nutritional assessment, and it can be corrected by timely and satisfactory energy- and nutrient-substitution, in severe cases by specially prepared nutritional supplements, and thereby the patient’s severe cardiovascular risk can be ameliorated. The successful treatment of hemodialysis patients requires change in medical practice, and close cooperation between physicians and dieticians.]

[Kidney diet and the patient compliance issue ]

LADÁNYI Erzsébet

[There have been significant developments in the field of nephrology and dialysis as for the science and technology are concerned in the past decades. However, CKD patients still show high mortality and morbidity. From among the several factors determining the long-term outcome of CKD patients metabolic disorder and malnutrition play an important role. Malnutrition is often not diagnosed or is not paid enough attention to in the complex treatment of CKD patients. It is important to make both the patients and clinical staff more aware of proper nutrition and importance of prevention and treatment of malnutrition, respectively. The early diagnosis and treatment of malnutrition is of utmost importance in CKD patients. The long term renal failure and the accompanying malnutrition have a negative impact on their long term outcome and quality of life. Since the malnutrition causes a lot of complications, it is indispensable for dietitians and nephrologists to work closely together. Patient compliance is a determining factor in the successful implementation of renal diet.]

[The prognostic role of serum albumin levels in survival of chronically hemodialized patients]

[The authors have investigated the survival of 238 patients on chronic haemodialysis program regarding serum albumin levels (measured at starting dialysis and at the end of observation) adjusted for age, gender, diabetes, serum haemoglobin and body weight. The mean observational period was 5.5 years. Our investigation has documented a tight positive correlation between the survival and serum albumin levels both at starting and ending of investigation independently of epidemiological parameters. It was demonstrated that serum albumin levels decrease by aging, so the authors recommend a little bit lower serum albumin target level for older dialyzed people, because the normal range is also decreasing by aging. The level of serum albumin has not shown changing in younger patients (less than 60 years) in this long observational period, but there was a significant decrease in olders (especially above 70 years).]

[Practice of the Hepatitis B vaccination with non-responder patients in our Centre]

GÓZ Lászlóné, KÖRTVÉLYESINÉ Bari Krisztina, BECS Gergely, SZABÓ P. Réka, BALLA József, KÁRPÁTI István, MÁTYUS János, UJHELYI László, BEN Thomas

[Introduction: End-stage renal disease patients under dialysis have impaired immune system and are more susceptible to infection, even those infections that can be prevented by vaccination (e.g. hepatitis B). If the antibody titer (anti-HBs) remains <10 IU/ml after two consecutive vaccinations, patients are classified as non-responders. Reasons for unsuccessful vaccinations include technical, immunological (e.g. multigene haplotypes) reasons. They are often also associated with chronic diseases. Aim of the research: To re-vaccinate patients after unsuccessful intramuscular vaccination to achieve immunity. Research and sampling methods: Intracutaneous vaccination can be a viable alternative for successful immunity. 6 months after re-immunisation, anti-HBs titer>10 IU/mL indicate a successful immune response. Results: 22 haemodialysed patients received intracutaneous hepatitis B vaccination with the total dosage of 6 μg. An anti-HBs titer elevation (21-100 IU/ml) was observed in 15 cases (68.18%). In those cases, where we failed to achieve successful immunity, we identified malignancies, immunosuppression, amyloidosis, psoriasis diabetes mellitus, or coeliac disease as a possible reason. Conclusions: The rate of successful immunisations against HBV infections can be improved by means of intracutaneous vaccination. ]

[The malnutrition and the possibilities of its therapy in childhood]

[Malnutrition is a very important clinical condition in pediatrics. However, undernutrition as negative impact on length hospital stay, risk of infection and health care costs. Moerver, it also effects the cognitive development of children. STONG is an easy-to use screening tool that can be recorded in a few minutes, and it does not require special knowledge measurement or follow-up. In Kaposi Mór Hospital (Kaposvár) the risk of malnutrition was assessed by STRONG nutritonal risk screening tool in 31 patient of child-gastroenterology ambulatory (02.01.2014-30.06.2014). In case of malnutrition counselling and use of special formulas are essential besides evaluating tehe cause of malnutrition.]

Chinova Bioworks will participate in Sephora’s Accelerator in May

Chinova Bioworks was selected to join 2019 Sephora Accelerate which builds a community of innovative female founders in beauty. Sephora’s site offers some background on the program:

Even in the beauty industry, where most customers are women, female founders are still underrepresented. We saw a unique opportunity to draw from our history of working with beauty entrepreneurs to build a supportive community for women who are in the early stages of developing their businesses. Accelerate is a key initiative of a larger program called Sephora Stands, which aims to use Sephora’s strengths for even greater good in our communities. We hope to build an ecosystem of support for more than 50 women-led beauty businesses by 2020.

Founders will participate in a week-long Bootcamp in San Francisco, May 5-11, and have a follow-up opportunity to pitch to Sephora’s Merchandising and Innovation teams on Demo Day this Fall.

Chinova Bioworks has developed a natural preservative, Chiber Mushroom Extract, to extend shelf life in foods, beverages, cosmetics and personal care items.

Chronic Pain: New Science provides Solutions for Complete Recovery (Part 1)

Chronic pain is a worldwide epidemic, affecting 1.5 billion people1.   In the USA we spend over $635 BILLION dollars treating chronic pain, visiting multiple medical practitioners, getting  tests, injections, prescription medications, and surgeries2.     With all the amazing advances made in treating cancer, diabetes and heart conditions, the numbers of people suffering with chronic pain has not lowered; in fact it’s increasing.

The good news is that we have learned more about pain in the past 10 years than ever before. The fields of neuroscience, physical therapy, psychology and nutrition have unearthed a treasure trove of knowledge to help people truly heal from chronic pain. There are a number of non-invasive, low risk self-help treatments that people with chronic pain can do simultaneously while they receive treatments by their doctors, physical therapists and other health practitioners to achieve total chronic pain relief.

Chronic Pain Defined

Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than the normal tissue healing time of 3-6 months. Note: this blog does not include the pain caused by active cancers nor end of life pain issues. So, by the end of 6 months all tissues (skin, muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, nerves and bones) should be completely healed barring no major complications such as infections, disease processes or re-injuries.

3 Phases of Healing

Below is what our body does after getting a physical injury:

Inflammatory phase 3-7 days from original injury: when you feel most pain or see redness and swelling. Swelling shows that your body is doing an excellent job of healing and prevents further injury to the area.

Repair (Proliferation) phase 2-6 weeks from original injury: depending on the tissue (skin heals faster than bone). New collagen is laid down, like weaving a basket or sewing up a hole in your socks. Collagen replaces the torn, strained, or fractured tissue.

Remodeling phase 3-6 months from original injury: this phase starts when production of new collagen stops. New collagen is usually stiff, inflexible and needs to be remodeled, lengthened, and strengthened to your pre injury state and function. This is best achieved by going to physical therapy and doing your exercises.

Acute Pain Process

If the normal healing timeline takes 6 months at most, why do so many people experience chronic pain for years, sometimes decades past the original injury? Before we can understand how pain becomes chronic, here’s how our nervous system and brain works when we are experiencing acute injury pain.

When we first sprain our ankle, specialized sensors in our skin called “nociceptors” are activated (see red "Nociceptive Information" ).  Nociceptors are not pain sensors- rather pressure sensors, chemical sensors and stretch sensors. In fact, we don’t have actual “pain sensors” in our bodies. Nociceptors sense that your ankle ligament is overstretched or your muscle fibers are torn and sends this information to the brain.

Brain is our Protector

Your brain’s main role is to protect your body, so when your brain receives the nociceptive signals about the overstretched/torn tissues, it also checks your surrounding environment and assesses the situation to decide how best to protect.

Let’s say you twisted your ankle in a pothole while crossing a busy NYC street. You need to run quickly or you may be hit by oncoming cars. The brain decides that you need to get to safety first so it allows you to run on your injured ankle WITHOUT PAIN by sending pain reducing chemicals to the area. Once you are safely on the sidewalk, the brain sends pain signals to your ankle so you immediately take your weight off your foot. Your brain has effectively protected you from harm both by decreasing and increasing pain. This whole process happens in milliseconds.

 Brain is the Boss of Pain

Our brains are capable of learning and creating new nerve pathways throughout our whole lifetime. This is called “neuroplasticity”3.  Areas of the brain that are used very frequently show high levels of activity (as seen in brain MRI scans) and may actually increase in size4.  Before iPhones and Google Maps, London cab drivers had to memorize the whole intricate street map of the city before they could get their licenses. Studies show that they actually have enlarged areas in the brain associated with memory. The brain changes based on how we use it.

The brain is the center where the actual sensation of physical pain originates from and gets relief. People who experience chronic pain have a brain and nervous system that has learned to be in a heightened state, always on guard awaiting the next danger signal. What leads to this “faulty wiring” of our brain and nervous system?  Some factors include:

  1. Childhood and early social experiences - did you suffer loss/lack of love or did you feel safe and supported? These experiences affect how we respond to both physical and emotional pain.
  2. Daily thoughts and self-talk - are they positive or tend to be negative/fear based?
  3. Current social interactions - are they mostly supportive, like seeing a good friend, petting your cat or stressful, like fighting with your spouse/children?
  4. Your Expectations- are you afraid of bending forward because years ago a doctor said it could flare up your back pain? 5,6

Nutrition, exercise, restful sleep plays just an important role in total healing which we will discuss in the next few blogs. While we can’t change what happened to us in the past, the good news is that our brains can relearn healthy patterns to lower/stop chronic pain.

While receiving medical care from your doctor, you can simultaneously  retrain your brain to learn healthy processes, decrease fear based movement patterns, use mindfulness to stop negative catastrophizing thoughts, breathing techniques to lower fear/anxiety and much more.

At EMH Physical Therapy, we offer a chronic pain recovery program, called re·lieve, which educates patients in the new science of pain and teaches them a scientifically proven self-help program along with providing any needed manual and movement therapies.

SEXY LITTLE GIRL GUIDES SUZY AND LINDA There are some advantages in holidaying alone. Choosing ones' own walking pace; destination undetermined; the option to embrace an opportunity should one present itself. It was under those circumstances that I chanced upon the camp.

Classy ballsucking mature sucking dick

Distracted from the narrow meandering pathway that wound its' way through the old forest, I ventured stealthily through the close trees in the direction of the girls' laughing voices. Concealing myself amongst the dense undergrowth at the edge of the clearing, I surveyed the scene before me. Courtesy of the late afternoon midsummer sun, a golden haze suffused the still warm air with the small encampment, rendering the scenario both intoxicating and enchanting.

A fairy tale atmosphere, though on this particular summer evening the roles of forest nymphs were to be played by a troupe of sexy English Girl Guides. The girls moved among the tents, laughing and talking, oblivious to my voyeurism. They were all dressed in their Girl Guide Uniforms which consisted of a light blue blouse, navy blue skirt and white knee-hi socks. I knew from past experiences that the vast majority of Girl Guides also wore their regulation navy blue cotton school knickers with their Guide uniform.

Sweden anal gay sex clips Kyle is a superb cock sucker  and he has

There was no doubt whatsoever that, after school uniform, Girl Guide uniform was my second greatest turn on. A few yards to my left, three girls sat in a circle on the lush emerald grass.

The wife came to work for her husband and began to seduce him

Adopting my best Commando stance, I gingerly made my way through the foliage to a concealed spot near to the chattering group. Kneeling behind a bushy crop at the very edge of the clearing, my position afforded me a perfect view up one of the girl's skirts. Relaxing on the grass with her legs casually spread, the young girl - she was about thirteen of fourteen had innocently allowed her navy blue skirt to ride up her thighs, exposing her lovely little navy blue ribbed legged cotton school uniform knickers.

With my eyes fixed on her navy blue gym knickers, I unbuttoned my jeans, released my throbbing prick and masturbated to her slim white legs and navy knickers. Was I too, close? Although she was facing away from me, I was almost within touching distance of the nearest girl.

What should I do? I could be discovered. I knew that the excitement of seeing this lovely little Girl Guide in her uniform with her legs open and showing her navy blue knickers was exciting me so much I could come at any time … but I'd risk it for a little while longer.

Suddenly, the three girls stood up and walked towards one of the tents. Damn! I contented myself by watching a volleyball match that was being played at the other end of the clearing. The flap of a nearby tent drew open and a girl's head appeared, her long blond hair shimmering in the sun.

She was looking around the camp … then in my direction. Had she seen me? Surely not! The girl crawled out of the tent, followed by a dark haired companion clutching a green carrier bag. Both wore their full traditional Girl Guide Uniforms and looked so inviting as they bent low as if to avoid detection. The two Guides scurried hurriedly towards me. With my jeans and y-fronts still pushed down around my knees, I awkwardly sidled a few paces back into the woods and squatted down next to a tree.

In seconds the two Guides were through the bushes. I was slow to react … or the girls were moving too fast. The blonde tumbled onto me, sending us both sprawling across the forest floor.

The slender young girl let out a muted cry of surprise as she slumped onto my upturned body. In that instant, I wrapped my arms around her, holding her tightly against me and pushed my exposed prick up her Girl Guide skirt. I thrill of excitement rushed through me as I felt my prick brush against her bare inner thighs; a flailing curtain of blonde hair smothering my face. Running my hands over her sexy little Girl Guide uniform, I thrust my erection further up inside her raised skirt, pressing the throbbing head of my wet prick against her navy blue schoolgirl knickers.

Her dark haired friend bent over us, hissing urgently, "Suzy! He's got his prick between your legs and against your gym knickers." As Suzy wriggled free, I caressed her lovely thighs, feeling up her skirt to where her navy blue cotton schoolgirl knickers covered her sweet young pussy. Getting to their feet, the two Girl Guides ran like the wind disappearing into the depths of the overgrown forest.

I watched the green carrier bag vanish into the thick foliage. There were some advantages in holidaying alone!!! Regaining the forest path, I continued to walk in the direction the two Guides had taken. Suzy and her friend were both very slim and extremely pretty and I guessed they'd around fourteen or fifteen. In their traditional Girl Guide uniforms, they looked so young, sexy and highly desirable. I had memorised the location of the camp and, if I so desired, could return later to finish my voyeuristic wank.

Yellow beams of evening sunlight danced among the trees casting dappled illuminations on the forest floor. It felt great to be alive, surrounded by nature's random beauty in the fullness of this glorious English summer. I followed the winding path for perhaps five minutes without passing a soul, and then came upon a small stone church.

Hardcore gay The fantastic hunk is blessed to make an offer  which

The old building resided in poorly tended grounds to the right side of the path, it's condition suggesting that this holy place had not enjoyed the complement of a congregation for some considerable time. Carefully moving aside an encroaching bramble, I made my way to the arched stone entrance. The large wooded door was locked, and I resigned myself to continue through the forest … then I heard a noise from the far end of the building.

Peering round the corner of the Church, I watched the two Girl Guides emerge from a small side door. They still wore their Girl Guide uniforms which made me subconsciously reach for my prick, squeezing it through my jeans. Both girls had lovely legs and looked incredibly sexy dressed the way they were.

I stroked myself as Suzy and her friend approached the forest path, clambering over a crumbling low wall and exposing their lovely soft smooth navy blue ribbed legged cotton school uniform knickers. Here was now no sign of the green carrier bag, which I guessed had maybe contained a change of clothing.

Remaining at a safe distance, I surreptitiously followed the two Girl Guides through the forest.

What to do now? The girls, I assumed, were on their way to meet a couple of lucky boyfriends and I would shortly be forced to abandon my interest in them.

But two horny Girl Guides alone in a deserted forest … wearing their Girl Guide uniforms … I began to form a plan. I would try to get ahead of them, and then, when they approached, I would either hide in the bushes and wank as they walked past or expose myself and masturbate in front of the two little girls. Quickening my pace, I rounded a bend in the wooded pathway and then stopped abruptly.

Süß Spank Saugen Und Ficken

About thirty yards ahead the forest ended. Impeccably lit by the golden evening sunlight, Suzy and her friend stood at the end of the forest path intently engaged in an earnest session of rock-paper-scissors.

The outcome resolved, the girls walked on into the open countryside beyond the old forest. I would need to be extra careful now if I were to remain undetected. Hiding as best as I could, I watched the two Guides approach the only building in sight a small country garage. Boasting two petrol pumps, the ramshackle corrugated iron structure looked like it may have survived, with a minimum of modern concessions, since the 1940's.

A portly old grey haired attendant sat behind a counter in the tiny office; otherwise the place was deserted. Perhaps in the past the establishment had seen busier times, but nowadays I imagined customers must be few and far between. Approaching from the side, the girls sneaked secretively to the far end of the building next to the office.

While Suzy remained concealed, her dark haired friend walked to the front of the garage and entered, engaging the old man in conversation. Now I was both horny and curious! Making my way to the nearside of the garage, I discovered a small open window, through which I was able to see into both a dirty looking backroom and the front office.

From here I could eavesdrop on the conversation inside. I almost got caught. The scruffy old attendant turned and shuffled towards me, followed by the pretty dark haired Guide. I watched as the picked their way through a sea of tyres, toolboxes and miscellaneous garage debris, then sat side by side on a wooden bench in a dark corner of the dingy back room. The young girl's knees were slightly apart, giving me a lovely view of her where her navy blue gym knickers were pulled tight against her pussy.

"What's your name?" asked the fat old man. "Linda," the young Guide replied softly then, gesturing towards the man's crotch she continued, "Go on then, you said you'd show me." Leaning back on the bench and unbuttoning his grubby brown trousers, the old man pulled out his flaccid prick in front of the young Girl Guide.

She let out a loud squeal. "Quiet," t old he man implored. Linda laughed. "There's no one around." The squeal had been the signal. Suzy stealthily entered the front office, rounded the counter, and began to carefully prise open the cash drawer with a large screwdriver.

The girls had it all worked out! Taking hold of the old man's floppy prick in her hand, Linda started to wank him, "Is this the first time you've been wanked by a Girl Guide?" The old man grunted and placed his rough oil stained hand on the girl's bare leg. Excited by the Girl Guide's manual stimulation, the man's prick grew stiff, achieving an impressive erection in her small hand.

Releasing his prick, Linda turned and grasped the waist of his dirty trousers, pulling them down to his ankles. He wore no underwear. Taking a step backwards, a brief expression of shock passed over the young Guide's face as she stared at his monstrous prick.

Now standing fully erect, his enormous prick was far bigger than she had realised. Standing in front of him with her legs open and swivelling her slim hips, Linda seductively lifted up her Girl Guide uniform navy blue skirt, asking nervously, "Do you like my little navy blue cotton schoolgirl knickers?" Obviously too excited to even speak, the old man simply masturbated and so did I.

The sight of this absolutely gorgeous little Girl Guide, standing in front of us holding her navy blue skirt up round her waist and happily showing us her tight soft smooth navy blue ribbed legged cotton school uniform knickers, was the answer to every man's dreams. "Don't come yet," Linda pleaded. "I'll do a naughty show and you can wank to me." Meanwhile, in the front office, Suzy was stuffing bank notes into the breast pockets of her shirt.

Holding her skirt right up round her waist, Linda reached between her legs and gently eased the crotch of her navy blue schoolgirl knickers to one side, revealing her pretty little shaven pussy. Trembling visibly, she asked, "Shall I finger myself? Would you like to see me with my finger inside my navy blue gym knickers, fingering my hot wet little pussy?

The old man's eyes widened and his hand became a blur as he masturbated his massive prick in front of the uniformed girl.

Poor fellow allows horny mate to penetrate his exgf for cash

From the front door, Suzy shouted, "Linda!" Adopting an feigned expression of horror, Linda exclaimed, "It's my Mum!" and ran like hell, leaving the [perplexed red-faced attendant hastily pulling up his trousers in the backroom. By the time the old man had regained his composure, the girls were long gone.

A fiery red sun was beginning to descent towards the western horizon as I reached the old church, painting the weathered stonework in shades of mellow orange. A short sprint through the trees had enabled me to get there ahead of the girls. Entering the church by a side door, I found myself in a small room located behind the alter. Perhaps original a vestry, the room had been converted into a tiny apartment. I guessed it may have been used as an overnight stop by travelling priests, as drafted in to serve the local community.

A pair of narrow stained glass windows bathed the room in a rainbow of light. A heavy oak wardrobe stood in a corned by the door and a single bed had been placed against the far wall. Lying on the bed was the green carrier bed. I stood next to the doorway with my back to the wall and waited for Suzy and Linda to arrive.

I was not disappointed. Barely a minute had passed before the door opened and the two Girl Guides entered the room. Suzy walked in first a tossed a wad of bank notes onto the bed. Following her into the room, Linda turned and closed the door then jumped back in surprise when she saw me standing against the wall.

I pushed the door shut. Linda promptly joined her companion standing by the bed. There was a moment s impasse as I stood in front of the door, face to face with the two absolutely stunning little Girl Guides. I delivered the concise line I had been composing while I waited. "I know where you're camped … and I know what you did at the garage." Deadlock. A tense confrontational atmosphere pervaded the small room.

The girls looked at me, then at each other. Suzy spoke first. "You can have the money … " "No thanks." Linda frowned. "What do you want, then?" Half smiling, I said, "I saw what you did with the old man at the garage … that's what I want." The girls exchanged glances and Linda answered cautiously.

"Okay … but we can't let you go all the way with us.' That having been settled, I dragged the heavy wardrobe across the stone floor, blacking the door.

I didn't want to be interrupted, nor did I want either of the girls making an early exit. Linda spoke irritably. "Come on then, sit on the bed and take it out." I examined the pretty Girl Guided standing before me, slim and sexy with perfectly slender yet shapely legs.

Up till today, my main fascination had been schoolgirls' in school uniform but having seen these two very attractive and sexy young girls in their Girl Guide uniforms, I could very easily be persuaded to change my allegiance.

Linda had revealed her shaved slit beneath her Girl Guide uniform skirt, knowingly igniting the old man's darkest pubescent fantasies in a seductive display of nubile eroticism. This was a once in a lifetime situation and I was going to take my time so, very slowly, I said, "Show me your knickers, girls, show me your lovely tight little navy blue cotton schoolgirl knickers." Linda began to unfasten her but I stopped her saying, "No … keep your skirts on, I like lifting them up and watching you doing it too and I want so much to put my hand up them and between your legs." Both girls opened their eyes wide as I said that but it was Linda who gasped, "God, you're really into young girls, aren't you … which do you prefer, Girl Guides or Schoolgirls?" Pleased with the way things were progressing, I replied softly, "It doesn't really matter as both wear navy blue cotton knickers." Suzy was very quick to come in saying, "But Girl Guides don't have to wear navy knickers." "True," I replied softly, "But the few I've seen do." After a few moments silence, Linda asked, "Well, what do you want to do?

Do you want to lift our skirts or do you want us to lift them?" At this point, I suddenly noticed that Suzy was starting to look nervous and it didn't really surprise me when she stammered, "I … I don't think I can do this, Linda." "Come on, Suzy," Linda coaxed, "You'll enjoy it, you know you will." Almost close to tears, Suzy groaned, "I've never let a boy do anything to me, I'm scared." Not seeming to be particularly bothered one way or another, Linda sighed, "Well, I'm staying" With that, Suzy slowly turned and left, leaving Linda and I on our own and it was only seconds before she asked, "Well then, do want to lift my skirt or would you like me to do it?" "You do it," I replied, adding, "I'd like to see a young Girl Guide lifting her uniform skirt for me." Smiling innocently, Linda said quickly, "I'm not so young, I'm fifteen." "That's still young," I responded, adding, "But I'm not complaining, as far as I'm concerned, the younger the better." Opening her eyes wide as she reached down with both hands and took hold of the bottom of her navy blue skirt, Linda gasped, "How young do you like them, for God's sake?

What's the youngest girl you've ever been with?" Wanting to be perfectly honest with her, I replied, "Anywhere between twelve and fifteen but the youngest girl I've even done anything to was only ten." Standing there holding the bottom of her Girl Guide skirt, Linda asked then, "W ,, what did you do to her?" Hoping I wouldn't upset Linda, I said softly, "The same as I'm going to do to you." Blushing bright red, Linga gasped, "Oh, and what's that?" Taking a deep breath, I began, "I'm going to watch you lifting your Girl Guide skirt for me then I'll put my hand on the front of your navy blue schoolgirl knickers before moving it down till it's between your legs.

When I feel you're navy knickers getting wet with your love juices, I'll finger you through them till, hopefully, I'll make you come in them." After silently staring at me for a little while, Linda croaked, "I … I don't mind you touching me through my knickers but I've never let anyone make me come in them." Smiling and loving the way the conversation was going, I remarked innocently, "Only yourself." Trembling visibly and turning bright red, Linda almost whispered, "Yes." As things were seemingly moving along nicely, I said then, "Now, that's something I'd like to see" Watching me carefully with a lovely smile on her face, Linda started lifting her skirt ever so slowly as she sighed, "Are you telling me you'd like to see me masturbating?" "Yes, I would, very much." I replied.

Strangely, Linda seemed to relax as she kept lifting her skirt till, with a funny look on her face, she said, "You, know, I'm lifting my skirt for you and I don't even know your name." With my eyes glued to the bottom of her skirt as it went higher and higher, "Sorry about that, I'm Bill." "Pleased to meet you, Bill," she said cheekily, adding, "Can I ask how old you are?" "Eighteen," I told her.

My eyes opened wide as she lifted her Girl Guide skirt right up till it was round her waist, showing me her lovely tight little navy blue ribbed legged cotton regulation school knickers, almost whispering, "There, Bill, do you like them?

Do you like my nave blue knickers?" "God, Linda," I groaned, "They're absolutely wonderful, so lovely and tight and I love the thick ribbed legged cotton and, as for the colour, navy blue just turns me on like you wouldn't believe." Smiling, Linda said happily, "I wasn't going to wear my school knickers today but something changed my mind." Moving forward and laying my hand on the front of the lovely soft smooth navy blue cotton of her schoolgirl knickers, I almost whispered, "Open your legs for me, Linda, open your legs nice and wide for me." The look on Linda's face was one of complete happiness as she slowly moved her feet wide apart, thereby opening her lovely legs wide for me.

As I started moving my hand down over the front of her navy blue gym knickers, she sighed, "Don't hurt me, Bill, please, don't hurt me." As my hand slipped between Linda's legs and closed over the now rapidly moistening crotch of her navy blue cotton school uniform knickers, I said softly, ''I won't, I promise, Linda, I'll be so gentle with you and turn you on so much you'll scream with delight." Surprising me by slipping her arms around my neck, Linda groaned, "You know, Bill, I've only let three boys touch me like this and each one was awful and hurt me but you're so gentle, so kind and gentle and I actually like feeling your hand between my legs." ""Linda, Oh, Linda," I groaned, lightly fingering her young schoolgirl pussy through the now reasonable wet crotch of her navy blue cotton schoolgirl knickers, "You're knickers are lovely, so lovely and soft and smooth and wet and I love feeling and fingering your little schoolgirl pussy through them." Poor Linda was in a little world of her own as I felt and fingered her hot wet little pussy through her navy blue knickers and it wasn't long before she was writhing and trembling then she threw her arms round my neck, coming in her knickers like you wouldn't believe.

Obviously feeling pangs of guilt, Linda freed herself from me and, pushing her skirt down, turned and left me standing there. Would I see her again?

Top 7 HR Challenges In 2018
Top 7 HR Challenges In 2018

Human Resource professionals wear many hats and manage a variety of responsibilities – from recruitment to retirement. It rarely happens that a day in an HR department passes slow.

Managing human resource department and enforcing policies in an organization have always been a constant concern for HR. But the job doesn’t end here.

The department is always inundated with numerous activities like compliance processes, talent acquisition, payroll processing, employee retention programs, talent management, and a lot more. Amid the chaos, HR professionals often don’t get time to deal with common challenges that are needed to be addressed for building a smartly managed company.

What are the aspects in human resource management that you may find most challenging as an HR professional?

Recruitment landscape has changed dramatically due to increase in rapidly rising hiring volume. In a candidate-driven job market, there are high demands of talented and skilled professionals. Identifying a right job applicant requires a proactive approach, something which is beyond publishing job ads on portals and social media and making cold calls to the candidates.

Another obstacle in finding top talent is a non-collaborative approach where hiring managers and recruiters think differently. According to a study by iCIMS, 77% of hiring managers say that recruiters’ candidate screening is ‘inadequate’ where 51% of recruiters claim that hiring managers ‘should do a better job by communicating what they are looking for in a candidate’ and ‘provide relatable examples’.

Executing Continuous Compliance

HR has a key role to play in the organization’s compliance structure. They have to comply with the employment laws at all times and failing to do so can result in major legal consequences for the business. Most often, ignorance towards compliance procedures and their effectiveness lead to unavoidable problems.

There are laws and regulations about everything from hiring practices, to wage payment, to workplace safety. Regardless of the size of an organization, employers must ensure they remain compliant with local, state, and federal labor laws in all aspects.

Managing Employee Benefits

Since years, Paid Vacation Time, Affordable Care Act, 401k plans, Health Insurance and other benefits have been a pain point for HR. And the issues do not seem to resolve any sooner.

23% of HR leaders believe that managing employee benefits is the most difficult part of their job. They must think of ways to keep a balance between the two – employee expectations and limited company budgets.

Understand what is important for your potential new hires and what type of offerings would help them attract or retain them. Along with healthcare benefits, focus on offering flex time, wellness programs, subsidized training, unlimited vacation time, commuter benefits and more.

Employee Retention

Many reports have suggested that more than 50 percent of employees leave their newly joined jobs even before touching half-year mark. Why does this happen?

Unfriendly work environment, lack of learning and development opportunities, inflexible company policies, poor relationship with the immediate manager or other factors can be reasons for high employee turnover.

The first step towards a better employee retention plan is to understand the core issues causing high turnover.

Workplace Harassment

In past years, a lot have already been spoken and written about workplace harassment issues.

We, as a company that deals with people related processes every day and night, firmly believe in the concept of a disciplined workplace. We suggest there should be zero tolerance towards a person who gets involved in bullying or any type of harassment or performs any action which is subjected to violation of a company’s disciplinary rules.

Ignorance towards these sensitive issues may affect the company reputation. Encourage people to voice out their complaints when issues arise and follow-up the subsequent investigation.

Implementing Data Analytics

When it comes to data analytics, there are many challenges that rise up:

  • » Often companies ignore the significance of analytics to identify people related trends.
  • » Only 27 percent employers can access HR data via mobile devices. This has been a common challenge in the past decade.
  • » Does HR have skillsets needed to analyse and make best use of data?

Employers are expected to make significant use of analytics to save the company from losing top talent. When effectively used, people analytics enables HR leaders to gain deeper and clear insights on people, company and processes. Companies that implement data-driven strategies are more successful than those who don’t use analytics optimally.

Developing Future Leaders

A challenge of building a next generation of organizational leaders remains a top priority for HR.

In past few years, massive numbers of skilled, highly experienced baby boomers have retired. This has widened the gap between available talent pool and the talent needed to fill leadership positions.

Besides retirement, sudden exit of leaders for better work opportunities, competitive pay, personal goals, demise or other reason is a major setback.

Most of you must have already gone through our list of most promising HR trends to be followed in this year. Companies have been following these trends to make human resource management a success. Yet some employers are struggling with common HR challenges in people management and related processes. Pick ideas from this post and see what works best for your HR Department.

Translate WordPress into UK English

Although those familiar with UK English would be able to understand US English, it’s still technically a different locale. As such, it’s up for translation, and this is where you can contribute!

Start Contributing Today

All you need is your account to log in at the UK English locale page on Translate WordPress and find a project you want to translate. This could be your own theme or plugin, or one you use but would really like to see translated anyway.

Each string you submit will be validated (usually within a few days), and then you’ll appear as a Translation Contributor on the en_GB Team page.

WordPress Core, plugins, themes, mobile apps, and other strings can be translated from US English (en_US) to UK English (en_GB) using a system called GlotPress.

Style Guide

Beyond the usual converting Ss into Cs (e.g. the noun ‘license’ becomes ‘licence’), Zs into Ss (eg ‘customize’ becomes ‘customise’), and adding Us (eg ‘color’ becomes ‘colour’), here is a list of other things we take into consideration when translating into en_GB.

  1. Do not use ampersands (&), unless they are part of official titles or names. Otherwise, use ‘and’.
  1. Do not put full stops between or after Latin abbreviations (etc, eg, ie), and do not italicise them.
  1. Do not capitalise the first word after a colon (:), unless it is a proper noun.
  1. Capitalise the first word of titles, and all words within the title, except articles (a/an/the), prepositions (to/on/for, etc), and conjunctions.
  1. Fix random capitalisation – quite often you’ll see random adjectives and nouns capitalised (typically for emphasis), however, this is unnecessary, and we change it back. An example: a lot of people capitalise ‘Responsive’, however, it should just be ‘responsive’.
  1. Ensure correct capitalisation – some words require specific capitalisation. Some examples: ‘Url’ should be ‘URL’; ‘AJAX’ should be ‘Ajax’, and so on. This also applies to proper nouns and company names (e.g. ‘WordPress’, not ‘Wordpress’).
  1. Write numbers from one to ten in words; use figures for numbers above ten. However, if there are a lot of numbers in a text, some above ten and some below, use figures throughout to allow easy comparison by readers.
  1. Use words for ‘first’, ‘second’, and so on, up to and including ‘tenth’; use numbers and ‘st’/‘nd’/‘th’ for larger numbers. Don’t use superscript (to prevent problems with line spacing).
  1. Always use figures and symbols for percentages, measurements and currency. Use commas to punctuate large numbers.
  1. Do not use an m-dash (—); use an n-dash (–). Use an n-dash in a pair in place of round brackets or commas, surrounded by spaces. Use singly and surrounded by spaces to link two parts of a sentence, in place of a colon (:). Use to link concepts or ranges of numbers, with no spaces either side. Use between names of joint authors/creators/performers, etc, to distinguish from hyphenated names of a single person.
  1. Use Oxford commas – this makes lists easier to read, and makes the meaning clearer.
  1. Change theme and plugin URLs to direct to their en_GB version – this means when dealing with a WordPress link, inserting ‘en-gb’ at the beginning of the URL, so it takes you to the UK English version of that page. However, this does not apply to ‘Support’ pages.
  1. Remove title attributes from links – originally thought to be helpful for accessibility, title attributes actually do not help at all when it comes to links, as they are not read out by screen readers by default, so we remove them. Do not worry if you see a warning telling you that the attribute is missing! As long as you have removed the title, and only the title, it’s all OK.
  1. Change ‘http’ to ‘https’ – this is a case-by-case thing, as not all links have an ‘https’ version, and again, a warning will come up, telling you there’s an ‘http’ link missing. Once again, as long as you have only changed what is needed, there is no need to worry.

Our glossary covers a fair number of the changes UK English makes to US English.

A lot of the strings will be exactly the same. Others will only change on spelling or the occasional different word. Capitalisation and word form (i.e. ending in -ed or -s) should be maintained or adapted as necessary.

You can find a detailed list of agreed changes for all English variations on this spreadsheet: Shared English Variants Translation Glossary.

Note that some strings have been validated before these variations were decided, so if you see a different version, please submit a new string. If we ever get global searching across all projects, we’ll handle it then.

Other changes would be where demo content uses dollars and a US city that could be changed to pounds and London respectively.

Order of Translations

At the moment, other than what might appear each day, there are no fuzzy strings or strings that are waiting – we keep on top of those a few times a week. Otherwise, we submit and validate strings on popular projects (to bring the benefit to a wider range of people) and projects that maybe no-one but the author has used (to clear off the hundreds of those tiny plugins).

Our challenge is to get the most popular themes and plugins translated. The data from these pages is updated in real time.

When submitting strings, start on the Development/Stable (code) strings first, and leave the Readme projects until afterwards. When a string set reaches 90%, it has the possibility of being delivered to end-users via language packs, unless there is an existing language pack, in which case there is no threshold. Having the code found in everyone’s WP installs showing up as the right language is more beneficial than having the plugin screen contents being translated.

For the Readme, there’s no limit – once a string is translated, it is used (after a few minutes), even if all the other strings remain untranslated. The benefit of getting Readme strings to 100%, means that it’s easier to see when any new strings are added to a project, as the overall translation percentage will drop from 100%.

If you’re interested in contributing, just follow the steps above and start contributing today!

Also, if you want to discuss anything regarding translating into UK English, please join our UK Slack, and the “#en-gb” channel.

Keyboard Shortcuts

GlotPress offers a number of keyboard shortcuts to accelerate the process and reduce the number of required clicks, which is of significant help when translating between English variants. Currently operational:

  • CTRL + Enter = Copy the string into the translation box
  • Shift + Enter = Save the string

(* A copy and save command is in the pipeline. Check the GlotPress wiki here.)

Process to Become a PTE/GTE

This applies to all contributors – even plugin and theme authors who want to translate their own project.

The typical process is for you to submit many (hundreds) strings for en_GB. This doesn’t require any change in default permissions and can be done immediately. If you do a great job, and we’re confident in your abilities and intentions, you can then be upgraded to a Project Translation Editor (PTE) for a range of themes and plugins (yours, or your favourites/the ones you use, etc.). If that goes well over a sustained period of time, you may then apply to be a General Translation Editor for en_GB.

Why Do We Require This?

While plugin authors want control over their individual plugin, we would like to have consistency for all en_GB users for all plugins and themes. Many of those who request to be a PTE don’t understand the subtle differences between US English and UK English, and may not be aware of the information contained in the Glossary. By letting us check over submitted strings, we ensure the quality stays high and consistent.

Even having someone do the submissions across projects, and just letting the existing validators do bulk validating of your submitted strings, makes things considerably quicker for the translation team. Strings are checked and approved at least a couple of times a week, so theme and plugin authors don’t have long to wait.

How to Become a PTE

If you wish to become a PTE for your own themes/plugins and we’re happy with the quality of your translations, please feel free to make an editor request here on the Polyglots blog, following the format as shown in the Polyglots Handbook. If we’ve seen you recently submitting high-quality strings (ideally, 100% of your plugin), we’ll approve the request as soon as possible. If not, we may ask you to contribute more translations before approving you.

Similarly, if you’re a developer and you wish to nominate someone as a PTE for your themes/plugins, please have them submit strings and make a request, nominating them as the PTE for your themes/plugins by following the steps above. More information on this can be found in the Polyglots Handbook.

OccupationAttorney; Judge
Yelverton was so committed to his legal career that he returned to the Circuit Court of Appeals after mandatory retirement at the age of seventy-five to work another five years as a law clerk.

Henry Lee Yelverton, Jr. (June 5, 1928 – July 31, 2009), was a judge for thirty-two years of the state district and Louisiana Court of Appeal for the Third Circuit, based in Lake Charles in Calcasieu Parish in southwestern Louisiana.

Early years and education[edit]

Yelverton was born to Henry Lee Yelverton, Sr. (1904–1928), and the former Iona Mae Gates (1911–1992)[1] near Sikes in Winn Parish. His father died at the age of twenty-four, some two months before Yelverton’s birth. After 1930, Mrs. Yelverton married J. K. Roberts, and the couple had two children, Shirley Kay Roberts and Glynn David Roberts, Henry’s half-siblings.[2]

Yelverton was subsequently reared on a small cotton farm in West Carroll Parish in northeastern Louisiana, where his stepfather was a sharecropper until 1938, when he purchased forty acres of woodland on Macon Ridge near Epps in the northeastern portion of the state. There the couple built a house and farmed.[3]

Yelverton’s high school years coincided with World War II. A teacher encouraged him to study Latin. He became so fascinated with the subject – Julius Caesar, Cicero, Tacitus, Livy, and Virgil — that in 1949 he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin from Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, as well as a commission in the United States Air Force Reserve.[3] He procured a tuition scholarship at LSU and was given a minimum wage job at the LSU Poultry Farm, where he resided during his college years. From 1949 to 1951, Yelverton taught Latin at the defunct Sewanee Military Academy in Sewanee, Tennessee, where he also excelled as a boxing coach. In 1951, he obtained a Judah Touro Fellowship in classical languages at Tulane University in New Orleans, where he received a Master of Arts in Latin. He then taught Latin at St. Martin’s Episcopal School in Metairie in Jefferson Parish.[3]

Military and legal career[edit]

On Valentine's Day 1953, Yelverton married the former Lorraine LeJeune of Addis in West Baton Rouge Parish. Yelverton was soon called by the Air Force to active duty as an intelligence officer with the Strategic Air Command. Lorraine joined him in the military, and in 1954, Clark J. Yelverton, the oldest of their seven children, was born at an Air Force installation in Spokane, Washington.[3]

After his tour of duty with the Air Force ended, the Yelvertons returned to Baton Rouge where he enrolled in 1955 at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center.[4] There, their second son, Scott R. Yelverton, was born. While in law school, Yelverton worked for State Senator J.D. DeBlieux of Baton Rouge, whose reputation of honesty and morality in public life Yelverton admired. In his last year of law school, Yelverton received the Allen Barksdale Award for scholastic accomplishments. Upon graduation in 1957, the Yelvertons relocated to Lake Charles where he was affiliated with the firm, Camp, Palmer, Yelverton & Carwile. One of his first tasks there was to process government disaster loans following Hurricane Audrey, which particularly devastated neighboring Cameron Parish.[3]

District and appellate judge[edit]

Yelverton entered public service in 1961 as first assistant district attorney for the 14th Judicial District. For the next decade he was legal counsel for the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury and School Board, and the Airport Authority. In the spring of 1971, then Governor John J. McKeithen appointed his fellow Democrat, Yelverton, to a 14th Judicial District judgeship, a position that he held for eleven years. As a trial judge, Yelverton argued for the acceleration of court business to avoid long judicial delays. At the conclusion of his tenure on the District Court, Yelverton was recognized by the Supreme Court Judicial Administrator for his promptness in deciding cases. He made several court changes, including the hearing of criminal plea bargains in open court, rather than in the judge’s chambers. He also instituted a jury pool system to accelerate the selection of jurors. In 1975, the Louisiana Supreme Court asked Yelverton to help develop a procedure to alleviate the docket of the state Court of Appeal, 1st Circuit in Baton Rouge.[3]

In 1982, Yelverton was elected without opposition to the Court of Appeal, 3rd Circuit, with authority in twenty-one parishes of southwestern and central Louisiana. He remained a circuit judge until he reached the mandatory retirement age of seventy-five. He also sat on numerous occasions on the Louisiana Supreme Court. The day after his retirement, he went to work for the 3rd Circuit as a part-time law clerk, a position from which he retired at the age of eighty[3] because of lung cancer.[5]

In 1989, Yelverton persuaded his fellow judges to adopt a new docket for the summary disposition of certain cases, a plan which reduced the backlog by a considerable margin. He was a founding member of the Criminal Bench Book Committee which devised the criminal bench book used in the trial courts. He formerly chaired the Uniform Rules Committee of the Louisiana Appellate Judges Conference. He wrote "Handbook of Louisiana Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Procedure," a book for the use of young lawyers on the subjects of how to take an appeal and apply to the court's supervisory jurisdiction.[3]

Yelverton died in Lake Charles at the age of eight-one. .[6] He held membership in Eta Sigma Phi honorary classical fraternity and Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity. He was a member of the American Legion, the Knights of Columbus Roman Catholic men’s organization, and the Our Lady Queen of Heaven Catholic Church in Lake Charles, where he was also a trustee and a member of the parish council.[4]

Services were held on August 3, 2009, at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church. Interment was at Consolata Cemetery in Lake Charles. Yelverton was survived by his wife of fifty-six years, Lorraine,[6] all seven children, fifteen grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and two younger half-siblings.[3]

ARD Music Competition Postponed to 2022

ARD Music Competition Postponed to 2022 ARD International Music Competition Munich

Unfortunately, the 2020 ARD International Music Competition cannot take place this year. Due to the corona pandemic, the 69th edition with the planned categories of flute, trombone, string quartet and piano has been postponed to 2022.

The 69th ARD International Music Competition, originally planned for 31 August to 18 September 2020 with the competition categories of flute, trombone, string quartet and piano, has been postponed to the competition’s 71st edition from 29 August to 16 September 2022. As a one-off special rule, applicants for this year’s competition can register for the 2022 event even if they have already exceeded the age limit by that time. In 2021, the ARD Music Competition is expected to take place as planned with the categories piano duo, voice, horn and violin.

»It is now clear that the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic makes it impossible to carry out a sensible, and above all fair competition in the usual manner. Despite extending the application deadline twice already, we have accepted that we cannot stage the competition this year. At this stage in time, it is impossible to gauge whether, at the end of August, the candidates and jury members would be able to travel – and in view of the very nature of this international competition, with competitors from many countries on four continents, this is an absolute prerequisite. When it comes to the organization of this event, the world's largest classical music competition in 21 alternating categories, there are just too many imponderables«, the competition's artistic management explained.

The competition, one of the most prestigious and largest of its kind in the world, is held annually on various stages in Munich, including the Gasteig. You can find further information about the competition and this year’s cancellation on the website of the ARD Music Competition.
