Voters in Alabama have great concern for the unborn. After Tuesday’s special election, many feel anguish over the loss of a reliably pro-life Senate seat, which could affect federal judicial appointments over the next several years. Without judges who respect the right of states to regulate abortion, pro-life voters feel especially helpless to defend the unborn.

Yet, amidst much discussion of the issue, I feel compelled to share the irony of my experience working with an Alabama pregnancy resource center, where converting pro-life advocates to pregnancy center donors is a sobering challenge. This reality has been, frankly, especially difficult to reconcile with the fervor on display in recent weeks.

While the political system in America will always have consequences for the unborn, it seems many advocates have overlooked opportunities and responsibilities that exist in our own backyard.
Consider Tuscaloosa Sav-a-Life, which operates across the parking lot from the state's busiest abortion facility. In the clinic, dedicated staff and volunteers offer pregnancy tests and ultrasounds, prenatal and parenting education, essential baby supplies (even into the toddler years), and post-abortive counseling for those who seek it — all free of charge. Most important, workers share the gospel and compassion of Jesus Christ. The clinic stays booked and does everything possible to accommodate walk-ins.

More: Widen middle of the road to better America: Guestview

Sadly, the only thing preventing the clinic from accepting additional clients is a lack of funding. We need a nurse manager,  as well as another ultrasound machine and sonographer. We would like to open five days a week, offer more services, advertise more effectively, and retain or recruit staff with more competitive salaries. But without increased financial support, these goals cannot be attained.

Political candidates find no shortage of voters willing to finance their campaign or advocate their candidacy. But for those of us who believe, according to Scripture, that every individual is created in the image of God and is known to Him long before birth, it is a tragic and misguided mistake to place all our hope in men — flawed, by nature — who hold or seek office in a terribly broken political system.

Spending even one day in a pregnancy resource center affirms that unborn babies and their mothers are best served by face-to-face acts of service. Moreover, it makes clear that even if Roe v. Wade were reversed tomorrow, there is a deeper human need that cannot be met by government restrictions or programs alone.

More: Delayed reporting of sexual abuse is the norm, not exception: Guestview

This is not to dismiss the convictions of pro-life voters but to implore each of us to look beyond the ballot box. There are a number of pregnancy resource centers in Alabama: find one and support it. Talk to the leaders of your church or civic organization about becoming a financial partner. Include one in your personal year-end giving. A donation of any amount will have an immediate impact.

Many mothers and fathers in our communities face unplanned pregnancies. By supporting organizations that exist to serve their needs, we can do more in one year to protect and preserve the sanctity of life than Washington will do in a lifetime.

Roku is a public company now, so that means it needs to keep shareholders happy.

It can do so with new products and updates. But the company also tends to refresh things every autumn. So that means we're due for some news from the company. And like clockwork, it has announced a lineup that consists of five new-ish players. First up is the $29.99 Roku Express, which is now five times more powerful than its predecessor.

RokuRoku announced a 4K streaming stick and more lineup upgrades image 2

Next is the $39.99 Roku Express+, which received the same spec upgrade. It's meant for classic TV owners, however, as it has options to connect composite A/V ports. Then, we have the $49.99 Roku Streaming Stick and Roku Streaming Stick+. The first offers HD video, a quad-core processor, and 802.11 AC dual-band MIMO wireless.

It also comes with a new voice remote that includes buttons for TV power and volume to control compatible TVs. Out of all these updates so far, the $69.99 Roku Streaming Stick+ is the most exciting. It boasts 4K and HDR compatibility, and up to four times the wireless range of its predecessor. It's meant to rival Amazon's new Fire TV dongle.

It comes with Roku's new voice remote, too. Roku isn't done there, though. It also lowered the price of its most powerful, feature-packed streaming media player, the Roku Ultra, which can stream HD, 4K, and 4K HDR at up to 60 fps. It costs $99.99, works with the new remote, and includes a headphone jack and a remote finder button.

To compliment these hardware updates, Roku announced its new Roku OS 8 software. It brings voice control to Roku TVs. Voice control and search have also been updated with enhanced natural language understanding. Other features include a Smart Guide and a search feature with information about local broadcast TV programming.

Additionally, a 4K spotlight serves up 4K, HDR, and Dolby Vision content. If any of this interests you, Roku's new lineup is now available for pre-order at, Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, and other retailers. They will be available to buy from 8 October. Roku OS 8 should begin rolling out from early October, as well.

great value chain

A great functional 10 speed chain. I've used these before and found them reliable, durable and smooth, plus the Sram power link, in my view, is the best available. I ride over 15000 miles a year, so I've tried a few different chains but taking everything into account (including the amazing value for money) this is my favorite.

powerlock link chain

So pleased with this chain Will buy again for sure All positives Great PBK deal to So easy to fit well oiled and runs smooth

sram pc1 1031

Cheap as chips. Probably not the best chain out there but if value for money is what you want when frequently changing your chain, this chain is top notch.

really good value

This is just such a great value product when it is nicely discounted - and it often is at Probike. It is a good chain from a quality manufacturer - sure there are better lighter chains on the market, but for your everyday chain it is brilliant. What's more - when quality chains are this cheap it is easier to get around to replacing the chain regularly thus saving those vital (and expensive) drivechain components from too much wear.

good chain

Strong and well lubed from factory. After you install this chain you will fell immediately the strength of the chain. The chain is very good. I use this ones or the 1051 I don't see any difference in the chains. The only thing I don't like in this chains in the black connector pin after assembly is difficult to open... You should have a toll to help you is an special plier for chains. I recommend having this chains is stock and change it every 5000 km or so to save your cassette and chainrings from worn out.

Great chain!

After dropping my previous chain multiple times I took it to my LBS to get it checked out. Turns out the chain on my Rockhopper hadn't been changed for almost 8,000 miles and was stretched out quite a bit. After replacing the cassette and chain I was out the door enjoying my next ride. Wonderful chain and still going strong!

strong, reliable chain

I use these on my cyclocross bike. A no-nonsense, strong, and light chain. I have used these reliably on my road bike as well without issue. Works well with my Shimano drivetrain and is pretty long-lasting. Good chain on value and performance.

Copywriting Conference 2017 – was it any good?

Definitely! That’s the short answer to whether I thought the Copywriting Conference 2017 was worth the time and ticket price.

The rest of this post gives a more comprehensive answer to this question (and all without using the words learnings or takeaways).

So what made this, “…day dedicated to the craft and science of copywriting” quite so good? The combination of:

The speakers

All the keynote speakers were knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining. And, as we all know, when it comes to presentations, it’s rare that you get all 3.

It wasn’t just a bunch of folk reporting on exciting projects they’d worked on with big-name clients. All the talks included lots of practical suggestions that, if you’re willing to invest the time, are simple to do.

Copywriter and consultant Amy Harrison focused on closing the gap between what you say, and what clients think you mean. (She believes that this isn’t a copy problem, it’s a story problem.)

One of the ideas I took from this: you have to communicate the impact of the product or service you’re writing about consistently, because people are looking for transformation.

Content design expert Sarah Richards provided the science. As well as discussing how we really read copy, she shared a handful of ways to help get your clients to come round to your way of thinking (mwahahahaha!).

One of the ideas I took from this: don’t have opinions, because you’ll just end up in an opinion-off. Have data behind you so you can say to your clients, ‘this isn’t coming from me, it’s from the people you want to sell to.’

Copywriter Richard Owsley‘s contribution was as funny and cathartic as it was brief. He ran through some of the infuriating things some clients say, and the responses we’d like to give them.

What I took from this: the struggle is real but, thankfully, I’m not the only one dealing with it.

Nick Parker’s energy and irreverence made me, and the rest of the attendees, laugh out loud. Repeatedly. The copywriter and strategist challenged us to present ourselves more creatively, and give the pencil, typewriter and fountain pen imagery a rest. (He also got us writing on bananas.)

One of the ideas I took from this: don’t talk about words (e.g. your position in The Great Oxford Comma Debate), talk about ideas (like neuroscience, storytelling and stickiness) instead.

The workshops

These were every bit as good as the keynote speakers’ talks.

The main message of copywriter Katherine Wildman’s breakout session was, make time away from your screens and nurture your creativity.

She introduced some handy exercises (involving crayons, mysterious smells and white chocolate mice) for when you’re wedged in a creative rut.

One of the ideas I took from this: I need to read The World Beyond Your Head: How to Flourish in a World of Distraction by Matthew Crawford.

Author, consultant and copywriter Mel Henson gave an overview of the process conversion copywriters follow, and what they have to do to meet the demands of the Optimizing Gods.

One of the ideas I took from this: I need to check out Notable (an app for giving feedback on websites).

The other workshops got glowing reviews too. I was reliably informed that digital marketing speaker and trainer Tim Fidgeon managed to make mobile UX for copywriters, fun.

ProCopywriters committee member, Anna Gunning thought his advice “…will help us connect with target audiences on mobile – and will also help us work more effectively with designers and developers.”

And according to Andy Nattan, a ProCopywriters member, film director Sasha Damjanovski’s intense and no-nonsense guide to delivering an irresistible pitch was, “f*cking great.”

The venue

The Crystal’s in East London and is easy to get to by DLR. True to its name, it’s all glass, metal and angles. It’s clean, modern and there’s loads of natural sunlight.

The staff run a slick operation, so the day was well-organised and ran smoothly.

The food

This was so much better than the usual conference spread of sad-looking sandwiches. And there was lots of it – marinated feta, BLT rolls, falafel, baba ganoush and smoked salmon, cream cheese and dill rolls. A choice of fresh fruit or yoghurt crumble was on offer if you fancied rounding off your meal with something sweet. Yum!

Having time to chat to fellow copywriters

There was a 20-minute break in the morning, an hour for lunch, a 20-minute break in the afternoon and a drinks reception after the event.

So there was plenty of time to meet up with the talented, witty and generous people behind the banter and profile pictures.

The networking didn’t feel tiresome or cringey, and not having to start conversations by defining copywriting was brilliant.

Roll on Copywriting Conference 2018!

I ummed and ahhed about going to Copywriting Conference 2017, but I’m glad I did. It was a thoroughly enjoyable fiesta of good-natured word nerdery, and the best event I’ve been to in ages.

To be honest, I felt like I’d got my money’s worth after the first 2 speakers. I loved getting different perspectives on copywriting.

Everything I listened to, or took part in, was helpful, motivating and gave me new tools and techniques to try.

Eating Fish May Help Antidepressants Work Better

Posted on April 29th, 2015
Posted in Depression

Eating Fish May Help Antidepressants Work BetterFish has a reputation as “brain food,” and research has found that eating fish once a week can help to improve your learning skills and your memory. Now, new research suggests that fish can help your brain with more than cognitive function.

A new study from researchers in the Netherlands shows that increased consumption of fish can help the brain respond positively to a common variety of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

In most countries, SSRIs are the most common kind of drug prescribed for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Well-known drugs of this type include fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft).

Non-Response to SSRIs Has Been a Mystery

Many people seem to respond positively to SSRIs (although some studies have found no difference between the effects of SSRIs and placebos for patients with severe depression). However, other people with major depressive disorder are completely non-responsive to SSRIs. Why some people respond to SSRIs and some do not is one of the big unanswered questions surrounding depression and depression treatment.

Stress Hormone Regulation Linked to Fatty Acids

The new research from the Netherlands, which is being presented to the congress of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology, suggests a link between how the body metabolizes fatty acids and how the brain regulates stress hormones. The research team discovered that patients suffering from major depressive disorder were more responsive to SSRIs if they increased their intake of fatty fish, a food high in fatty acids.

The researchers compared the fatty acid and cortisol levels of 70 patients with major depressive disorder to those of 51 healthy controls. They then treated the depressed patients for six weeks with 20 mg of an SSRI antidepressant, gradually increasing the dosage to 50mg for patients who did not respond to the initial dosage.

The researchers continued to measure fatty acid and cortisol levels throughout the six-week period of the study. They discovered that the patients who did not respond to the SSRI treatment had abnormal metabolism of fatty acids compared to the overall group average.

When they looked more closely at the dietary habits of the patients in the study, they found a strong correlation between the frequency of fatty fish consumption and the success of SSRIs at treating depression.

Fatty Fish Eaters More Likely to Respond

The researchers divided the study subjects into four groups depending on the frequency with which they ate fatty fish (“fatty” fish, also referred to as oily fish, are fatty-acid-rich fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel and trout).

The patients in the group who consumed the most fatty fish on a regular basis were found to have a 75 percent chance of responding to the SSRI treatment. In contrast, the patients who reported that they never ate fatty fish had only a 23 percent chance of responding to the SSRI treatment.

Improving Antidepressant Response

The Dutch researchers believe that this information could have several practical applications for depression treatment. First, fatty acid metabolism could be measured in patients as a way to predict whether they are good candidates for SSRI treatment. Second, fatty fish consumption or other means of increasing fatty acid levels could be used in conjunction with medication in order to increase the odds that SSRI treatment will be successful.

BACKGROUND: Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is the most common self-poisoning agent in the UK and a leading cause of fatal hepatotoxicity. Following legislation in 1998 to limit pack sizes, beneficial effects on paracetamol-related mortality and morbidity were reported in England. However, there are still over 100 deaths a year and evidence of breaches of sales guidelines. AIM: To investigate characteristics of people taking larger paracetamol overdoses and compliance with sales guidelines, to inform possible further initiatives to reduce paracetamol fatalities. DESIGN AND METHODS: Interview study of 60 general hospital patients who took overdoses of over 16 paracetamol tablets (8 g). RESULTS: Half of all paracetamol overdoses involved over 16 tablets. Patients were predominantly young (three-quarters aged 16-40 years) and female (58.3%); over half (53.3%) had taken a previous paracetamol overdose. Three-quarters said they wanted to die. Half took the overdose within an hour of first thinking of it, half (53.3%) took tablets already in the home and 58.3% bought tablets specifically for the overdose. Ten people tried to buy more than 32 tablets in one transaction; four succeeded. Most knew that a paracetamol overdose could cause death or permanent damage (88.3%) and harm the liver (80.0%) but 70.0% thought they would lose consciousness. Warnings on packs had little deterrent effect. Media and internet influences were identified. Patients chose paracetamol because it was cheap and easily available. CONCLUSIONS: Further measures to reduce breaches of sales guidelines and the dangers of paracetamol overdose are required. Media and internet site producers should follow guidelines on reporting suicide.

Whole genome transcriptomic analyses have identified large numbers of dynamically expressed long non-protein-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in mammals and other animals whose functions are, as yet, largely unknown. Here we summarize the growing evidence that lncRNAs, like mRNAs, can be trafficked to and function in a wide variety of subcellular locations. Investigation of the subcellular distribution of lncRNAs has the potential to greatly expand our knowledge not only of the function of lncRNAs but also of cell biology by identifying previously unknown subcellular structures and novel constituents of known cellular organelles. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Easter eggs and other special secrets in Quake

Nightmare Skill Teleporter

You can watch a video on Youtube to see how to find it or read below.

Enter the fourth episode way, hop into the water but immediately backtrack so you sink down right beside on the wall next to the start area. You will drop onto a wooden ledge.

Walk on it to the left where a corridor awaits. You will see the message "This passage selects NIGHTMARE skill!" At its end a teleporter portal labeled "nightmare" lets you select the nightmare skill by walking through it.

The Dopefish in the Well of Wishes

The most prominent easter egg in Quake is the hidden Dopefish. You can find it on the third map of the second episode the Crypt of Decay (e2m3). You can directly load that map by entering "map e2m3" in the console.

You can watch a video on Youtube to see how to find it or read below.

At some point you will stand on a bridge with a nail shooter in your back. Turn around, facing the nail shooter. You will see two alcoves (watch out for Ogres), on the right one is a Quad Damage. Jump on that one and you will see a small ledge on the side. Follow that ledge (not as easy as it looks) and you will find a corridor with some health packs. Follow it to its end to drop into water. "The Dopefish Lives!"

To exit this hidden area swim into the short corridor on the left. The front wall will open to let you enter another (normal) secret with a yellow armor and mega health to resume the level.

A hint to the hidden area in which the Dopefish hides is given on the start map right before the hidden nightmare teleporter. See above for how to find that. When you go up the stairs in the hidden corridor there is some flaming wall decoration in front of you. Shoot it or hit it with the axe to see the message: "The Well of Wishes awaits in the Crypt of Decay!"

Tim Willits & Theresa Chasar Raven Room

On the secret level the Underearth (e2m7) there is another special secret room. The entrance to The Underearth is hidden in the Crypt of Decay, but you also can directly load that map by entering "map e2m7" in the console.

There are several murals of a demonic face placed across the entire map. When you shoot all of them, a secret door in the flashing corridor area will open, revealing the secret room. Within you will find the "raven symbol" and initials TW & TC, attributed to Tim Willits and his sister Theresa Chasar.

Article excerpt

Three years ago the Fleet Motor Show was a major date in Britain's exhibition calendar as Nigel Lawson's consumer boom swung with full, unstoppable, momentum. Wembley was crowded with buyers from a company car was the badge of success to 'Thatcher's Children.' Sales that year were at an all-time high, and with half the 2.3 million models sold in 1989 going to company buyers, the world's car makers flocked to the show.

But times have changed. After two disappointing years at Earl's Court Olympia, next March's show is to be held at Silverstone. The show's organiser, EMAP, claims rather limply that the new venue is an exciting development, but few outsiders are convinced. 'It's effectively dead,' claims one rival. 'Two or three of the big manufacturers pulled out -- they didn't see the point in a special show when most potential buyers go to the dealer on the corner to see models.'

It has been a bad year generally for shows. The Exhibitions Industries Association estimates that visitors to events last year were down to 9 million from 10.6 million the previous year. And spending dropped too, falling by 7% (excluding inflation) from 537 million pounds to 502 million pounds. Several major shows have disappeared and many organisers have quietly slipped out of sight. Not surprisingly, an industry which has seen such a wonderful period of growth in the last decade has looked for a scapegoat. The recession and the Gulf War seemed the obvious targets for bemused organisers, but the truth is more prosaic.

By 1989 the conference industry as in poor shape, with too many companies offering too wide a range of events. The scale of events offer arranged from the multimillion pound international events, where serious exhibitors could easily spend up to 30 million pounds on a stand, through the major domestic dates, such as the Motor Show (up to 3 million pounds), to a small environmental display at a local school (25 pounds).

It was inevitable that as the recession began to bite that company accountants began to question the value of individual events. Most firms have cut back on the number of shows that they used to invest in and are now concentrating their efforts on one or two.

'This doesn't necessarily involve cutting expenditure,' says Peter Berners-Price, executive chairman of Spectrum, a company specialising in audio-visual communication. 'There's just a realisation that executive time is limited,' he says. As a result, with the trend towards costing staff time, any trip has to be justified. The five-day events of the early '80s are now a rarity.

According to the Exhibition Marketing Group (a consortium of six of the biggest organisers) a major problem for the domestic exhibitions is a traditional British undervaluing of shows as a marketing tool. The Group points out that Britain spends proportionately only half that of German competitors (roughly a fifth of German marketing expenditure is on exhibitions). The Germans staff stands with top executives, so that potential customers can talk to important decision-makers on the spot, saving time and money. British events are small and underpowered in comparison.

Not that Britain has been blind to the threat. This spring Birmingham City Council unveiled its International Conference Centre, built at a cost of 160 million pounds, while the National Exhibition Centre is about to launch a 100 million pounds expansion programme. Not to be outdone, Earl's Court Olympia is investing 80 million pounds on its facilities. Unfortunately, none of these investments will create a venue to rival Munich or Dusseldorf.

Most UK shows are tiny in comparison with the big European events. Phil Soar, chief executive of the Blenheim Group says that the average Dusseldorf show is twice the size of the biggest event that Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre can cope with. This means that in spite of the ultra-modern facilities on offer in Birmingham, some events are forced abroad. …

How to Prioritize in Emergency-Driven Jobs

Some jobs, by their nature, are emergency-driven. Everything is important and needs to be done ASAP. Here’s how to decide what to do next.

Stever Robbins,
August 21, 2012
Episode #232

A member of the Get-it-Done Guy Facebook community was despondent. She wrote in:

“I work in professional communications. Everything is top priority the moment it comes in. How can I prioritize my day?”

Reporters have also written in with the same question, as have customer service people. They all are jobs where you’re juggling a dozen projects, while some evil nemesis is throwing new balls into the mix every few minutes.

In some spiritual practices, they say the world is just a product of your thinking. I disagree. You may think you can fly, but if you jump off the top of a 10-story building, you will be disappointed to find that out gravity exists regardless of your thoughts. On the bright side, however, you’ll only be disappointed for a few seconds.

In the real world, if you take a job where priorities change from minute to minute, there is no way you can manage your time except minute-to-minute. Your job is emergency-driven, and that won’t change. You can always get a new job—fast food workers are in huge demand—but if you choose to stay with your current one, you need to learn to live with emergencies.

Emergency Rooms Use Triage

Who lives with emergencies every day? Hospital emergency rooms, of course. I’ve never been to one, but I watch Nurse Jackie, so I feel like I have a really good, accurate idea of what goes on there. Emergency rooms use triage. When a patient comes in, someone does a quick evaluation and decides who gets in now, who waits around for an hour, and who gets to set up a tent for a few months before they get seen.

You need to triage incoming stuff, so you know whether to make it your new top priority, ignore it entirely, or somewhere in between.

Set Up Boundaries, If Possible

First, set up minimum boundaries. Journalism or communications takes thought. Thought takes focus. Focus takes no interruptions.

Decide how big your focus chunks need to be, then schedule regular times when you answer your phone, check your voicemail, and check your email for new emergencies. Check once or twice an hour for five minutes. Between checking, however, close down email and turn off your phone. You need at least some time to focus or you’ll never do a good job.

Set Up Boundary Overrides

Tell your boss you’re doing this so you can produce high-quality work and still be as responsive as possible. Work with your boss to choose the best inbox-checking frequency.

Your boss, of course, will say “I want you to do high-quality focus work and be available instantly all the time. Your boss has pointy hair. Fortunately, your Blackberry, iPhone, or Android lets you set up custom ringtones. Set a custom ringtone for your boss. Say, “If it’s a real emergency, call and I’ll pick up.” When you’re in your focus time, only answer if it’s your boss calling. Say, “Hi, boss. You just tanked my productivity, reduced my quality level, and may be causing me to miss the deadline for what I’m working on now. This better be good or you owe me, big-time. What’s up?” Soon, either your boss will only interrupt you for top priority things, or you’ll have to find a new job. Maybe something in a library. The most awesome Get-it-Done Guy listeners Michael Steffans, Scot Colford, and Michael Colford—who all work in libraries—assure me they are peaceful places whose only emergencies are of the literary variety.

Triage Using Both Upside and Downside

When a new item comes in, use triage to decide where in your work lineup it belongs. Consider two things:

  1. How do the benefits of dealing with this item compare with the benefits of dealing with the other items on your plate?

  2. How does the pain of letting this item drop compare with the pain of letting other items drop?

If Ignoring It Will Get You Fired, Take It

If ignoring this item will get you fired, do it and do it now. Discuss with your boss—during calm times of course—which things fall into the I’ll-get-fired category. A journalist who drops a story about a kitten stuck in a tree won’t get fired. If the kitten turns out to be a shape-shifting space alien who later reveals he’s here to enslave the human race, the journalist will get fired (of course by that point, that won’t be his biggest problem).

Prioritize According to Damage Control

Now make a quick list of all the projects you’re currently working on. Score each one according to how bad it will be if it doesn’t get done. One means you can drop this with few consequences. Ten means it would be very, very bad to let this fall through the cracks.

The trick is to triage your incoming responsibilities and re-prioritize on the fly.

Let say your projects are: take dog for a walk, finish marketing report, and write memo on company charity day. If you don’t take the dog for a walk, it could have dire and smelly consequences that you’ll have to clean up. It gets a 10. If you don’t finish your marketing report, deadlines could slip. That gets a 7. If you don’t write the charity memo, it just means someone else will have to write it. The potential damage is low. Maybe a 2.

Prioritize According to Benefit

Next, rate each project according to how powerful the benefit is if you finish it successfully. Walking the dog has no great benefit, though it could be relaxing. It gets a 3. The marketing report could get you promoted if it’s well-written. It gets an 8. The company charity report will do good things for the world. Unfortunately, you’re far more concerned with yourself than the world, so it only gets a 6 on the scale.

Use Your Rankings to Prioritize in the Moment

Any projects that have both high possible damage control and high benefits are your top priorities. They get your immediate time and attention.

Projects that have high damage control and low benefit come next. Psychologists tell us that humans care about avoiding harm more than we care about embracing goodness. That means that if anything goes wrong, they’ll notice, and, of course, blame you, even if it was their fault. By taking care of high damage items next, you’ll avoid looking bad after-the-fact.

Projects with low damage control but high benefit are third. These are the things that really make you look like a winner. Since you’ve handled all the high-damage items by now, people’s minds are clear enough to recognize that you’re responsible for doing great things.

Sometimes something is so high-benefit that you’re willing to neglect other projects, even though that will cause damage. For example, if you’re a journalist and believe you’re pursuing a story that will win a Pulitzer, you may decide to neglect a high-profile story about a famous person and the brand of strained beets their newborn child eats. You’ll look like you’re totally out of the loop—missing the strained beets story is high-damage-if-you-don’t-do-it—but winning that Pulitzer will make up for it and then some.

Consider carefully and double-check with your boss before neglecting a high-damage-control project in favor of a high-benefit project.

Projects with low damage and low benefit should be dropped altogether.

A job handling emergencies doesn’t lend itself to easy scheduling. The trick is to triage your incoming responsibilities and re-prioritize on the fly. Reset your priorities around how much later damage they save, and how much future benefit they provide.

This is Stever Robbins. If you have other ideas how to bring sanity to emergency-driven jobs, please send them in! You can also email questions to getitdone@quickanddirtytips.com

Rule #1 in Business: It’s Not About You

Every day, I get at least three requests from people who want to write guest posts on my personal blog.  I have given up responding to these people.

Why?  Because looking at my blog for 30 seconds will tell you that I don’t do guest posts. I have never done guest posts.  I may include tips from other experts, but the writing is always my own.

Yet people continue to ask me, because THEY want to do a guest post.  They are making this initial interaction all about them.  It doesn’t matter what I want or need.

This is not a good strategy for building relationships with people, especially managers and co-workers who have no vested interest in doing what you say.

What’s in it for them?

You might have heard the story of the salesman who greets a prospect by announcing, “I want to tell you about a great new product that has a thousand new features, all for the low price of…” The prospect stops listening as soon as she hears the words I want and slams the door in the salesman’s face.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to enter a negotiation or interaction with someone by expressly stating what you want. As I said in this post back in 2010, no one cares – they want to know what’s in it for them.

What were they going to do anyway?

Every time you seek collaboration with someone at work, or need that person to do something for you, start off by imagining their priorities for that day and for their job in general.  How can your request align perfectly with what that person needs to do anyway?

Using the example of my blog, an e-mailer would get a much better response if they mentioned a piece I’d posted recently, and suggested some follow up tips based on what commenters were asking about.  This would help me accomplish my goal of providing my readers with useful content in my typical format – and it would also help them get the publicity they were seeking.

Some of us are more self-absorbed than others.  I’m not saying that to be insulting, it’s just a fact.  It’s generally a good idea to proactively consider if you could be more giving in your communications with others.  It also can’t hurt to look for ways to help people out even when you don’t benefit directly, and to inquire about the things that matter to your co-workers (their children, hobbies, etc.) but are irrelevant to you.  Even if you are not naturally good at this, you really can get better.  And I think you’ll find that all of your relationships improve, not just work-related ones.

We trust them completely
I've been with this practice for probably 35 years. My husband has gone for about 25. That probably tells you enough. They are highly qualified, efficient, and easy to work with. My husband in particular has the curse of having "interesting" dental problems, and they really work their hardest to come up with solutions. I also like that they don't mind a watch and wait philosophy on crowns, etc. They don't push. We see Dr. Wang. We are liking their new location -- closer to us and much better parking situation. That removed our only possible negative.

Very professional, friendly dental group
I have been going to Premier Dental Group and its predecessor for years. Each dentist is extremely skilled, but the cleaning and front office staff are also great. The practice is efficient; I’ve never had to wait for an appointment and they can usually fit me in within a few weeks. If you are looking for quick visit or a long term relationship I recommend them highly.

Aging comic icon Jackie (Robert De Niro), has seen better days. Despite his efforts to reinvent himself and his comic genius, the audience only wants to know him as the former television character he once played. Already a strain on his younger brother (Danny DeVito) and his wife (Patti LuPone), Jackie is forced to serve out a sentence doing community service for accosting an audience member. While there, he meets Harmony (Leslie Mann), the daughter of a sleazy Florida real estate mogul (Harvey Keitel), and the two find inspiration in one another, resulting in surprising consequences. THE COMEDIAN also stars Edie Falco, Cloris Leachman, and Veronica Ferres.

Our splashbacks are manufactured in a larger (3030 x 1200 x 11mm) board than many of our competitors.  This normally minimises the number of joints required in the splashbacks around a standard kitchen installation.  The panels can be easily cut with a standard jigsaw or handsaw by a carpenter or DIY enthusiast. One panel can be cut in length to make just over 6 linear meters of splashback at a standard 600mm height, or indeed can allow for the area behind a hob or cooker to be cut out and covered with no need for joints (depending on the dimensions of your kitchen.)

All Senses worktop components represents a UK manufactured work surface, where only laminate with a high wear resistance (adhering to BSEN 438) are used in the manufacturing process.

The Senses Worktop Range carries a 10-year guarantee against all manufacturing defects subject to normal usage and correct installation.

The Guru weared the sword for protection though and that's the point. He ordered orders to do the same because they were being oppressed. His values were influenced by the times he lived in. Following the Guru's directives now simply because he said to do so without challenging it seems weak and sheep like. Yes all the Guru's wore turbans, so what? Most people wore their hair long, such was the trend and it wasn't just among Sikhs. This is my point. Wearing it in a turban is simply practical if the hair is very long. This doesn't mean that the other Guru's believed in never cutting it. It was only the last Guru that invented these superficial archaeic principles and his opinions are fishy because of the situation at the time.

There is nothing complicated about keeping the hair long. It is not difficult to understand. There are too many flaws with the principle though. No one really justifies this well.

The way you express your view is arrogant and self-righteous. To say that 'Sikhs have found what is right' implies that others haven't and you call Society stupid. Besides who are you to say what is right anyway.

Also a sword is a warrior's weapon. The Guru would not deny this. It is used to kill, period. Wearing it at your waist during a time of peace. Hmmm, is this really appropriate for a peaceful individual living in a good neighbourhood nowadays? Do you think the Guru's would support such behaviour if they were alive now? Did Guru Nanak not say to live a householder's live? Is keeping a sword on you in line with this. What if a Sikh is attacked then, he/she is to bring out their kirpan and knife the attacker? It seems keeping a kirpan on you could cause much more harm than good especially if they are not trained in the use of such a weapon which is probably almost all sikhs who adhere to this principle. Isn't it more appropriate to not wield a weapon since most others will not have one and instead rely on martial arts to defend yourself or simply your wit? That way serious injury is less likely and everyone is better off.

But ok for the ones who do adamantly follow the five K's principle. How many can actually use the kirpan they wielding? Guru Gobind Singh also said that martial training is important not just spritiual side. Do any of these people actually bother training? If not aren't disobeying his directives then. The truth is a lot of Sikhs (if not all of them) simply pick and choose what principles they are going to obey. Many are then fond of saying I'm a true Sikh and you're not because I keep my hair long. Lol yes that's a very strong argument.

I'm not sure what to conclude from this by [deleted] in funny

[–]mandeep86 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'd like to provide my own perspective on this issue. To introduce myself, I'm a male, mid twenties and though from a sikh background, I cut my hair and I have no problems shaving and certainly don't feel guilt in doing so.

Ok now to get the obvious out of the way, this woman is extremely brave and I admire her for that. However, the uncut hair principle doesn't make sense IMO. Consider this. If i'm not mistaken, it was only the final living Guru that insisted on this principle. Guru Gobind Singh. This man was a religious leader yes but he was also a general. His 5 K's idea seems like classic war strategy to me and he is not the only one to do such things. For example, in China during the Three Kingdoms period (2nd and 3rd century AD) there was a movement called the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It's self explanatory. My point is that wearing turbans on the head is an obvious way to instill a sense of brotherhood amongst the members and help to boost morale. The Guru gave these religious reasons but it's clear that the principles he invented such as never cutting the hair and keeping a sword always at one's waist were motivated by the times. Therefore do they really have any place in today's society? It is absurd wearing a sword at your waist nowadays, especially since guns and so forth have been invented. The weapon has become obsolete. Most practicing sikhs do not carry a sword, they simply keep their hair long. What's the point in doing one without the other? The truth is I think some Sikh parents guilt their children into keeping their hair long. They don't give their children enough freedom. Hence the reason for so many male sikhs with a turban and yet cut facial hair. The times have changed now. It is not weak for us to change with them.

Altough this woman is brave for holding to her principles, I think it's worth saying that other women are certainly not weak for shaving or whatever to fit in better into society. There is nothing wrong with doing that either. It's the amount of good you do in life that counts. Guru Nanak (founder of the Skih religion) did not invent the principle of uncut hair. Never once did he say that this was important. This should be considered.

Sat with a 42 year old obviously mentally and physically disabled woman over 7-8 shifts over the course of her month long hospital stay. Never heard her spoke a word until one day we went to take her BP and, as the cuff is inflating, she let's out the most bone chilling nooo I've ever heard in my life. Like a two-year-old ghost, except it came out of the mouth of what I thought was a nonverbal adult.

Plus the guy was acting very inappropriately when he was staying at the hospital. He refused to wear a gown, wanted to be naked in the room, and grabbed his penis in front of the staff. One of our night charge nurse had talk with the patient that he needs to be respectful to the staff and be in his behavior but he refused to.

We had a patient that was completely oriented intentionally expose himself to another patient as she was walking by his room, so the police came and arrested him. But if a completely oriented patient does that to staff, it's accepted part of the job? Like being in the hospital absolves you of any responsibility? It's messed up.

Now graduated, but one of my former instructors told me about the time she and a student had to put nitro paste on a patient. They took the paste out of the machine, set the nitro paper down, and - before the instructor could react - the student took her BARE hand and spread a huge gob of the stuff. Of course, she passed tf out there in the med room. What a nightmare 😅

One day seven out of eight students came unprepared to clinical (did not research patient history, meds, plan). so i sent all seven of them home 😕 I felt terrible but I had to stand my ground. Now I have a “reputation”, and students think I am a hardass- I’m not- so it worked out in the end.

sparklingbluelight 2 points

What do you mean they hadn't researched their patients? Did you mean patients they were getting that day or patients they had the previous clinical day? If it's the latter, that's reasonable.

It all depends on how you plan. You can't just leave things to chance or be as spontaneous as the movies romanticize. Yeah, I have a job now where I can take 3-5 weeks off at a time basically whenever I choose, but I was stuck in one place for 4 years in order to work towards that kind of freedom. Life always has some trade offs, you just have to do your research if it's important to you.

We had one patient on aspiration precautions begging anyone and everyone to sneak her food. Finally, her family sneaks her a chocolate pudding out of the fridge and, big surprise, aspirates the whole thing. She ends up in the unit on a vent. I was working the next shift and dietary comes up to stock the floor's fridge and asks "do you guys need anything in the fridge?"

The day shift nurse, who stayed late charting after sending her pt to the unit, without even looking up from her computer, shouts "Not chocolate pudding!" We were pissing ourselves with laughter. 😂

Alcohol = death

I had a patient with a real alcohol allergy. We had to use betadine wipes to test his blood sugar or he would get hives.

Also, a not-insignificant amount of asian people will become flushed after drinking alcohol. But that might be something more like an intolerance than an allergy.

Yeah! Newish grad here (May 2016) I’ve been working two jobs per diem for the past year and i don’t ever want to go back to full time. I can work as much or as little as I want, I make my own schedule and never have to beg or barter for time off.

I'm staying per diem at my hospital job because the pay scale for per diems is wayyyy better than benefitted positions. New grads in a benefitted union position start at ~$31/HR with $1-3/hr raises each year. Per diems make $35/hr base and then a year in it jumps into $45/hr. Pick up those extra and overnight shifts cause the $$$ is worth it. Consider the float pool too, as you'll have more available shifts to pick up.

Our bags are 300ml so I set the VTBI at 350 with the saline as a primary. Our policy is to start at 120ml/hr for the first hour and then we can increase it per our judgement. I usually leave it at the 120 (unless they have an abx due near the time it would finish) because it'll finish within that 4 hour limit.

This is on a standard med-surg/tele for prbc. I've never given it in an emergency.

I had a pleasantly confused older lady pull out her iv while she was getting NS. We walk in and the iv tubing is in a cup of water on her table cause she saw it dripping from the catheter tip. 😂 It was the most clever thing I've seen a confused person do.

Dialysis nurse for fresenius here. Job can be busy but once you get the hang of it is very cushy. I can kill my phone battery twice in a shift. If anything serious happens to a patient, just call and ambulance and send to ER. Have done chest compressions one time in 5 years. Then there’s the pay. I’m up to $32/hr in Oklahoma. I float once a week on my day off to another clinic. Get paid drive time plus mileage and then float pay on top of that. I brought in 115k last hear. I have a buddy who works 6 days a week floating everyday and brought in over 250k( he left his pay stub open on a computer in September and had already made 200k). All in all it’s very cushy if you can work fast and are good at monotonous work.

Are you serious? If you die on the operating table, you would have died at home faster doing nothing? Like just the act of booking the surgery gives you a couple extra weeks of life? This makes so little sense I'm not sure how any rational adult can believe it....

If surgery kills you, it shortened your life by some amount. If your surgery was canceled that morning, you wouldn't have died that afternoon. It doesn't mean doing nothing cures you, but it means that medical intervention took your life faster than nothing would have.

That's the definition of an iatrogenic medical death (which is what this study is measuring...but that's an esoteric enough term that "errors" is easier for press pick up).

sparklingbluelight 9 points

But it is not a medical error, which was his point. if you are receiving a surgery and there is a known risk of death/disability, even if the surgery is completed without error, and you suffer that complication then that is not a medical error. No one is debating that dying on the operating table vs 2-3 months later of cancer shortens your life.

It's very thoughtful. One thanksgiving when there was only 6 patients on our 12 bed unit(there were only 2 RNs and me as the aide), a nurse's husband and kids showed up on our 3-11 shift and brought a whole turkey dinner for us and she took her 30 minute break in the break room with her whole family. It was sweet. :)

I've had confused ladies who get discharged to husband's/children and still come back within the week because they fell. One was discharged Tuesday and fell Wednesday. It's pretty sad to watch them go out the door knowing they'll be back or dead within the month.

I have listened to older nurses talking about how as recent as the 80s they didn't wear gloves for anything even when cleaning metal bed pans and I just don't understand why you would want to go near a bed pan barehanded. Like I can barely stand doing the dishes with no gloves on..let alone poop.

Second, why don't you have an individual med drawer for each patient in your WOW? You pull your meds for each patient (by relevant time frame) and that way only Patient 1's meds are in drawer 1, Patient 2's in drawer 2, etc.. This helps prevent medication errors.

Not sure what OPs workplace was like, but I used to be a med tech at an LTC. There were no WOWs. Just a giant cart with all of the meds for the whole hallway in it (I guess you could consider that a workstation on wheels, I just usually associate WOW with this.). There was a paper MAR, and controlled substances were in a double locked compartment in the bottom drawer. No extra empty small drawers available to store meds for individual patients, and most meds came in a blister pack. I feeling like popping them out prematurely is just asking for a med error.

Giving meds in LTC is daunting, especially in the beginning. They all get approximately 8,000 meds at once, and if you aren't familiar with the patients and the meds they take, you are going to be slow in order to be safe. The nurses that have worked there for 20 years are fast because they have been doing it for 20 years. They know the patients and the common meds like the back of their hands.

sparklingbluelight 1 point

I would never let someone on their first day of LTC prepunch out meds. However, if you work 5 nights a week it's pretty easy to get familiar with the meds residents take. I still have the MAR open while punching them out, but you start to remember who takes what pill and when and what the colace looks like so you can take it out if they refuse it.

Pin-Up-Paggie 3 points

This! I’m an LPN. Licensed for 12+ years. Worked in LTC probably 8 years. It’s hard. You pass meds twice a shift to 30 patients, do dressings and treatments, and chart on Medicare pts and ABTs. Most nursing homes have pts meds divided in cards or individually packaged envelopes.

I started passing pills as soon as report is over making sure to get my diabetics before dinner. I did a lot of things you’re not supposed to do like pass meds in the dining room or give them all their pills for the shift if possible. You learn to get a flow going. Every day I would learn a way to shave time off my med pass.

It also depends on the unit and shift you work. Rehab as opposed to LTC is higher acuity but less patients, but you risk admits and more emergent situations.

Your CNAs are your best resource. Encourage them that you are there to help turn and transfer and toilet. They will appreciate you and love how you “aren’t like the other nurses who don’t help”. I would give my aids little med cups with creams to apply to feet to help cut down on my treatments. I would change dressings after showers.

After my first med pass, I’d go through the MAR and flag the next med pass, it was lighter and it made it that much faster than flipping through every page again. If there were too many to flag, then I would just flag my treatments. You sign off on a lot of crap, like verifying alarms, ted hose and pain.

As I went along each new day I would remember what happened yesterday and think of a way to shave a few minutes off my med pass. I treated it like a game and a way to get proficient.

You’ll get better. You’ll find a groove. Maybe switch shifts if you’re on days. (Lots of places make you train on days). Tell your supervisor that you need more training if needed. Night shift you do more chart checks and changeover and dressings and skin checks, but can get in the weeds at like 5:30-7 am if someone’s accucheck bottoms out.

Some nursing homes are busier and more stressful than others.

sparklingbluelight 3 points

I love your second to last paragraph about treating it as game to see how you can spend up the night even more. I'm not a fan of routine at all, but in LTC routine is what you need to get through a shift. Switching up when I do a routine treatment or punching someone's meds to have them waiting in the cart gives me that little bit of flexibility in my routine that I actually look forward to. It is so rewarding when you find a new way to speed up the night!

Telling a very attractive female patient you didn’t want to let her walk and “go down on you”. I meant fall. Did not go as planned.

Some of the aides at the SNF have no awareness whatsoever and they'll yell across the hallway at each other and shout out the names of the residents they have for care. Like, "I have to go do John and then after that I'm doing Jane!" I'm probably over sensitive but it sounds so wrong.

Hello! I do not have antiNMDA. We are still trying to figure out what exactly it is that I have but we know it falls under the AE umbrella. I do have a diagnosis of Sydenham’s chorea. It causes my immune system to attack my basal ganglia so I have psych symptoms 100% of the time. Unlike antiNMDA it had a relapse/remitting course and anytime my immune system is angry about something I have symptoms. I usually feel bugs crawling under my skin, I physically cannot tolerate clothing (which sucks since being clothed is a prerequisite for going out in public), I get a lot of visual distortions (paint melting/boiling on the wall, pictures/doorways moving, lots of shadows flashing in my peripheral vision), and I also get auditory hallucinations as well. With the initial onset of symptoms I literally woke up one day and could not walk. The dr I had at the time was sub par and didn’t really do anything to help me. She tried to convince me that it was all in my head and that if I thought positively enough, I would get better. As a result, I didn’t get the appropriate treatment (plasmapheresis and IVIG). I try not to focus on the fact that my outcome likely would’ve been totally different if I would’ve had the appropriate treatment from the beginning.

sparklingbluelight 2 points

How is this diagnosed? I mean, are there lab tests or is it diagnosed on psych symptoms alone?

Long term care on 3-11 shift. Not allowed to give meds during dinner, so once dinner starts I punch out everyone's nighttime meds and lock them in the med cart and leave the cart by the door to the dining room so that I get everyone on the way out and I can monitor what's going on at dinner. That cuts my 3-4 hour med pass down to about an hour and a half. 👍🏻

A New Church and Network in Lima

 By Julio Chiang, Director of Lima Initiative

Peru is one of the most influential and culturally rich countries in the world. Lima, our capital city, has almost 10 million people. It’s a beautiful city, but full of great brokenness as well. Many people have come to Lima to escape poverty or terrorism in the countryside. We know that God is at work in our city, and we believe that City Church is part of God’s plan to transform Lima.
City Church started as a home church with about 20 people. The average attendance increased to 50 on our monthly open worship gatherings. We plan to move to weekly, public worship services by March 2017.
City Church is committed to social well-being. This pursuit is not about charity, but about justice, and it's an essential part of our commitment as an extension of the reign of God in our city. We have developed a mercy ministry, supporting two children’s homes in Lima: one for orphans and one for sexually abused young girls.
In May we participated with Redeemer City to City to initiate a network for church planting in Lima. Forty pastors attended the event. As a result there is now a network of eight churches working together to plant churches in the city of Lima. This network, the Lima Initiative, is about the multiplication of dynamic churches for the redemption of lives and the transformation of communities.
In July the Lima Initiative organized a meeting with city leaders and Bob Moffitt, author of If Jesus Were Mayor: How Your Local Church Can Transform Your Community, to discuss possible partnerships between Christian organizations and local governments for holistic transformation. Also in July the Lima Initiative organized a meeting for 120 pastors and church leaders. We discussed how we might live our lives in community, providing encouragement and discipleship to each other as we initiate and lead ministries in order to impact our city.
We are grateful to God for these opportunities to reach our great city, and we are excited to see what God will do through our church and the Lima Initiative.

The Art of the Arcade

The Art of the Arcade> is a great gallery style website that posts a new image of arcade inspired art or design every day. The design is minimalist, but the material is so compelling it can stand up on its own. It is a must bookmark for arcade/video game history and design fans.

Sadly this site has not been taken down, but it is not forgotten…
