6 Ways Millennials are Disrupting the Sale and Delivery of Healthcare

February 22, 2017

6 Ways Millennials are Disrupting the Sale and Delivery of Healthcare

Millennials, or the young adults of today, are the largest and most influential generation in United States history. They have grown up in a technological boom, changing the way they think, act, and demand.  Already we are seeing changes in the way that healthcare is delivered, branded, and sold that reflect the unique Millennial mindset. Check out these six ways Millennials are impacting healthcare.

1. In-N-Out Healthcare

Millennials are often called the “microwave generation” or “drive-thru generation". They have been raised on convenience, and they expect quick, efficient service. This may account for why, since 2008, investors have put $2.3 billion into urgent care clinics. In order to stay in the game, big box retailers, pharma, and even commercial insurance companies have started their own urgent care practices or partnered to form business relationships with existing clinics.

Traditional practices seeking to expand their business will need to promise and deliver in-and-out service. Without advancing with this generation, these traditional practices may not see as much, if any profit. The business model is simple: treat as many patients as possible, as quickly as possible. Basically, urgent care offers a low-margin, high volume value proposition.

In an average minor medical clinic, according to the New York Times, most people are seen in less than 30 minutes, with an average bill of $155 per patient visit. Considering that a typical physician will see around 30 or 35 patients each day, it’s easy to see how money starts to add up.

2. They Avoiding Going to the Doctor

In 2010, it was noted that a significant percentage of patients were starting to avoid managing their healthcare. There is a two-fold reason behind this trend: trust and cost. According to a paper, published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, several qualities are essential for establishing trust and successfully connecting with patients of this generational age group:

  • The practice must exhibit altruism, compassion and community involvement.
  • The physician and staff must have a critical attitude to the mainstream.
  • They must engender neutrality to gain the loyalty and trust.
  • The healthcare providers should exhibit persistence and tenacity when encouraging follow-up.
  • The practice will offer greater flexibility regarding payment as well as, scheduling.
  • They office staff and physicians should practice optimism, diplomacy, patience, and creativity as well as exhibit immunity to stress.

As far as cost, because the Affordable Care Act didn’t come without financial burden, it has contributed to issue of healthcare avoidance. As recently as March 2015, if was reported that 54% of millennials regularly delay or avoid medical treatment. The cost of premiums is one reason many millennials consistently give for remaining un-enrolled in health care coverage.

We know that if this trend is not curbed, the costs of healthcare will soar. Delays in seeking healthcare at appropriate times can lead to more complicated, costly procedures down the road.

3. They Expect More

The millennial generation expects to have an upfront estimate of fees, and will likely ask for services to be bundled since they are paying out of pocket. Despite being unprecedented in past generations, free consultations will have to become standard in healthcare.

4. They Want Social Proof

Millennials actively seek out reviews and advice from social media sources in order to validate the type of care they are looking for. For example, Healthgrades.com is a source they often use for finding this experiential type of information. The site estimates that 30 percent of all patients will read reviews, before making an appointment.

5. TECH + Data = Healthcare

The marriage of healthcare and technology has blossomed into a thriving industry largely because of the influence of Generation Y. The trend is really a win-win for all concerned. Wearable technology can record and save health-related data which offers valuable insight to providers. It is expected, with increased connectivity through the Internet, that practitioners will eventually deliver valuable feedback through the device itself.

6. You’ll Need an App for That

Because millennials manage their lives via their smartphones, they would like to maintain their health from them, as well. The irony in this phone-obsession is that since this generation hates to make and receive phone calls. In order for a medical practice or an insurance provider to actually connect, mobile app development is essential.

Millennials, as the largest generation, have unprecedented power and control over how things are getting done today; healthcare is no exception. To stay relevant in the insurance and risk adjustment industry, new and innovative solutions have to be considered.

A sense of deja vue!!!

Although we’ve become somewhat jaded in our attitude to political polls, there was little surprise in JC’s victory over Owen Smith yesterday. He slightly increased his majority from 59 per cent last year to 61.8 this largely because he polled 85 per cent of the post 2015 members while Smith had a majority of those who were members before the 2015 elections.  The problem is that the election solved little…JC’s supporters think that he can walk on water and presumably feed the Liverpool conference with loaves and fishes while the ‘moderates’, the term now sneeringly applied to those MPs and presumably party members who do not subscribe to the Corbyn mantra and who are now faced with the choice of continuing to fight against the Corbyn surge and almost inevitably face deselection, join the crusade, faded into the woodwork and hope not to be noticed or leave the Party.  The scale of the challenge facing the Party was well illustrated in a survey published in the Independent on Friday of attitudes of working-class voters.

Almost half of unskilled and manual workers believed JC to be ‘out of touch’ and an ‘election loser’.  More than a third thought he was ‘incompetent’ and ‘naive’ with middle-class voters holding slightly more positive views of the Labour leader. The survey also showed that those planning to support him in the future were completely detached from working-class voters and those who voted Labour in the 2015 Election. The polling suggests JC has a huge amount of work to do in convincing voters who once automatically voted Labour that he is the man for them.  Most worrying is the evidence that only 22 per cent of working-class people thought he was ‘in touch with the voters’ while 42 per cent thought him ‘out of touch’ and 36 per cent did not know.  This result is paralleled by responses to his competence: 26 per cent competent, 36 per cent incompetent and 36 per cent did not know.  Across the responses, unsurprisingly, those who support JC had a far more positive view of his capabilities with 65 per cent seeing him as competent, 49 per cent see him as ‘insightful’ with 26 per cent as ‘naive’ and 51 per cent as the ‘best choice for leader’ and 29 per cent ‘not the best choice’--which raises important questions about why people who thought him incompetent, naive and not the best leader were still prepared to support him.

The problem for the moderates in the Party is that if they dare to criticise JC in any way, then the opprobrium of Momentum and the different sects that now form the radical Left descends from a great height using social media…you’re out of touch with his huge mandate, you’re a closet Tory or even worse a Blairite, you’re being taken in by the anti-Jeremy media rhetoric.  All of this may well be true but, and here is the critical question, in the decades that Jeremy has been a Member of Parliament—and by all accounts he has been an excellent constituency member--what has he actually done that has had any impact on national politics?  In fact, is there any evidence that he has ever had an original radical thought…everything he says appears to have been said before (and often better) by others.  His over-weaning characteristic appears to be ‘anti’ as illustrated by his response to the question ‘what’s your favourite biscuit?’…instead of just saying shortbread he prefaced it with being anti-sugar…yes I know we all should be…but why lay yourself open to ridicule.  You may well say…yes but he’s been consistent in his opinions…well why?  I’m not sure I know anyone whose view of the world and the issues that face us have not radically altered in the last thirty years.

The making of ‘Snowy Rooks’ woodcut

One of the most pleasing things about running a stall at the recent excellent IUCN UK Peatland Programme Annual Conference in Shrewsbury was the discovery that several fellow peatland people were also woodcut or linocut enthusiasts. I won’t name them because I don’t know whether they are ready to have their skills exposed to the public gaze but suffice it to say that some extremely enjoyable and instructive discussions took place during the coffee and lunch breaks. In discussing the various techniques which we have each explored, and given the wider interest shown in my ‘Snowy Rooks’ woodcut, it occurred to me that it might be interesting for people to see how this woodcut, with its associated printed card (both available through my Etsy store), was produced.

To begin with, two small holes were punched in the original drawing using the smallest setting on a leather hole punch. The drawing was then placed on a board of short-fibre MDF and the two holes in the drawing were marked onto the board. These marks were drilled using a small drill bit, then the holes in this board were used as guides to drill two holes in a second board of MDF. Small nails were then pushed through one board and the drawing was placed onto the board by slipping the holes in the drawing over the nails. After placing a sheet of carbon paper beneath the drawing, the areas of the design involving the palest blue were drawn round. The Board was then flipped over and the nails reversed. The drawing was again placed on the nails and the mid-blue colour areas were drawn round.

The nails were then transferred to the second board and the same process followed, but this time indicating the areas of grey, then the board was flipped over and finally the areas to be black were drawn around.

The four faces were then carved out to leave as raised surfaces only the areas relevant to that colour – although if an area is subsequently to be overprinted with a darker colour such areas do not need to be carved away because the dark ink will over-print onto the paler colour, obscuring it.

For both the proof-printing and final printing the woodblocks were positioned on a printing board and locked in place using glass plates positioned either side of the woodblock and raised to the level of the printing face using thin sheets of material – as seen here with the mid-blue block. This was to prevent the inking roller from rolling off the raised woodblock face and inking lower parts of the block.

After a certain amount of proof-printing to check that the carving was producing the correct effect, the four faces were cleaned and prepared for final printing. The palest block was positioned first as one generally prints in sequence from palest to darkest colours.

It was then inked using the palest ink.

Having inked the block, a piece of A5 card with holes punched at the same positions as the nails in the woodblocks was then aligned with the card on which the design was to be printed. The two pieces of card were locked together, matching corners, using large post-it notes (!)

The hole-punched card and its companion card to be printed were then lifted and the hole-punched card dropped over the nails of the woodblock.

A sheet of greaseproof paper (removed here for clarity) was then placed onto the card to be printed in order to provide a slippery and protective surface to the back of the card and a ‘barren’ (traditional Japanese pad for burnishing woodblock paper onto the inked block) used to press the card against the ink, thus helping to fix it in place.

A pad was then placed on the print and the printing press closed over it to press the card to be printed firmly against the inked block.

On opening up the press, the first print colour can be seen on the card.

The whole print run is then completed for this palest colour and the cards hung up to dry.

The next block face is prepared and the cards printed using the next-darkest colour – namely the mid-blue – then the grey block is positioned for inking.

It all still looks pretty much without shape or form once the first three colours have been printed and can be rather depressing at this stage, wondering whether the whole design has failed. It is only with printing of the black that it becomes clear whether the whole exercise has been a total failure or not. That first print from the black block is nerve-racking. Fortunately the ‘Snowy Rooks’ emerged looking more-or-less as I’d hoped. It’s always possible to spot potential improvements, but overall the relief that it had largely succeeded was enormous and merited a glass of wine – after I’d printed all 30 sheets and hung them up to dry…

Interestingly when the cards were transferred digitally to Spingold Design and Print – my local friendly commercial printers – for conversion to greetings cards, the colours developed a subtle purple tinge which I rather like, so I think if I run off any more prints I’ll need to mix a little magenta with the cyan to create this overall tint. That said, I really need to be working on my design for the sundew linocut which is currently rattling around inside my head…

Excerpt: The Leader Servant  ~  3 December 2012

Dallas Theological Seminary – SL305 Dynamics of Leadership

Vision is nitroglycerin to motivation. Motivation engages one’s motive into action. Vision enlivens the determined results and events in one’s mind before literally occurring. Hall of Fame Coach, Bill “Congo” Congleton frequently taught, “The mind cannot tell the difference between a real and an imagined event.”

Vision is not self-actualization! Rather, optimal visions activates each of the five senses—touch, taste, hear, see, smell—in response to the desired achievement. Consequently, powerful visions generate emotions such as laughter, tears, fear, and joy. The desired achievement mandates evaluation. If the vision fails to produce strong emotions, then either details lack or the vision fails to inspire the person. If the vision fails to inspire, one should prudently discern whether to improve, keep or change the vision.

As a Leader Servant, I strive, and encourage others, to positionally see God in my mind’s eye through His Word, Prayer and fellowship. I seek to evaluate each thought and action first with His Word. Does scripture directly oppose my thoughts or actions? If scripture lacks specific opposition, I then pray and visit with my mentor, or spiritually mature members of the board or friends about the issue.

I also engage in the exercise of visualizing God in all his majesty to the best of my ability. I am in instant awe! All challenges, temptations and concerns reduce to clay particles, which God molds according to His will (Rom. 9:21).

Power of Vision and Faith

Vision creates positive, internal challenges. Challenging one’s mind-body-spirit simultaneously creates exponential benefits. Nehemiah’s vision of rebuilding the Jerusalem wall caused him to prepare diligently by calculating the necessary supplies, required documentation, work force, time, favor, dependence on God, and danger.[1]

Greatness occurs with faith in Christ and His word, recognizing that God created us in His image, fully reliant upon Christ’s strength, power, wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Faith often defies logic, and greatness occurs when we dwell on a specific vision of serving people for God.

When the components of greatness combine in any order or combination, the achievements increase exponentially. God desires each of us to live on faith, “Without faith it is impossible to please him” (Hebr. 11:6), and “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:14-26). Faith results in maximizing our service to God with the attributes He gifted us.

The Leader Servant’s Godly character seeks methods for maximization within the context of how God created us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The Leader Servant praises God for how he created us, instead of praising the creation (Rom. 1:18-25). He also understands the exponential effects of the components of greatness.

Components of Greatness:                                                                 Achievement:

Effort                                                                              10X

Effort + Faith                                                                               100X

Effort + Faith + Desire                                                              1,000X

Effort + Faith + Desire + Belief                                              10,000X

Effort + Faith + Desire + Belief + Vision                             100,000X

Effort + Faith + Desire + Belief + Vision + Mentor           1,000,000X

  • Effort – Magnitude of self-exertion.
  • Faith – Trusts God fully and completely, pursuing the prize which remains invisible to the secular eye.
  • Desire – Value determines Price. The higher the Value, the greater enormity and duration of physical and emotional pain you are willing to suffer for achievement. This emphasizes the need and benefit of perpetual spiritual maturity.
  • Belief – Knowing your physical, mental, financial and spiritual resources exceed the price of the achievement; trusting God to provide these resources.
  • Vision – Submit your boundary fence of possibilities to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The Servant Leader knows success from Thinking Inside the Bible.
  • Mentor – A person coaches, discusses and guides you, and who internalizes the Bible and engages in a continual communicative relationship with Jesus Christ.

E=mC >E=mc2: Energy = mass*Christ (Light of the World) > Energy = mass*speed of light2

The Servant Leader inquires of those in their organization, “What is your Christ filled vision? Are you fully activating your faith?” Much is spoken and written about getting one’s “second wind.” In reality, the second wind scratches only the surface of success for the Leader Servant.

We achieve Christ’s desired greatness in our lives well beyond our second wind, rather in our fifth, sixth or tenth wind. Each wind is the point you desire relief because of reaching the edge of physical and/or emotional collapse, when your mind and body say, “enough.”

Sadly, most people make a big deal of attaining just their second wind. Faith, Vision and Desire are essential components of enduring through the tenth or whatever the necessary “wind” in pursuit of greatness in serving Christ and His people.

For example, the mental challenge of running six miles or twenty-nine miles resembles a thick, poured cement wall. It appears virtually unbreakable, until an exhaustive examination, aided by the mentor and Holy Spirit, reveals a hairline fracture.

Faith, desire, belief, and vision are thoroughly mixed with focus and concentration; creating a liquid solution seeping into and through the fracture.

Their gradual expansion disseminates the wall. The pristine view of “Champion” faintly appears in the distant horizon. The credit and glory of this dissemination belongs solely to Christ as the Leader Servant gains another assist in helping people achieve Christ’s will for their lives.

See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!

Jill Jackson

In “Grasshopper”, one of her most popular songs, Jill sings to her father: “Don’t think that I’d forget when you took me out to get my first guitar…” She was just nine years old when she was given that first guitar and skinny kid from Paisley was immediately hooked. By studying her guitar heroes on VHS and watching their technique on repeat for hours on end Jill soon mastered the instrument and began writing her own songs aged just eleven.

Throughout her teenage years Jill dedicated herself to her music and developed a passion for performing.  At 15 she joined a country band called Jacksonville with whom she served her apprenticeship gigging for 3 hours a night, five nights a week.
By 18 Jill was doing more and more solo gigs and was asked to support Roger McGuinn from The Byrds at The Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow. Her big break came in 2003 when, aged just 24, she burst onto the music scene as the front woman of Scottish rock band Speedway. Initially formed by Jill and fellow Glaswegian Jim Duguid when Jill was just 19, the band became a four-piece when Jill and Jim were joined by bassist Tom Swann from Edinburgh and guitarist Dan Sells (now lead singer of The Feeling). Speedway had already been gigging and writing together for 3 years before they were signed by Innocent Records in 2002.  The band enjoyed chart success when their debut single - double A-side 'Genie In A Bottle / Save Yourself' - flew straight into the Top 10 in August 2003.  In addition to further chart success with subsequent singles ‘Can’t Turn Back’ and ‘In & Out’ the band also made a name for themselves across the UK touring relentlessly throughout 2003/04. As well as various festival appearances Speedway
experienced life on the road supporting label mates Blue on a major UK tour, followed by a tour with Canadian rocker Bryan Adams, which saw their final performance as a band in Cardiff in 2005 before they split later that year.

With chart success, tours and festival appearances under her belt with Speedway, Jill began to establish herself as a solo artist in 2005. “When Speedway came to an end I decided to go back to my roots and play the kind of music that I love. I just wanted to strip the whole sound back …” Jill’s solo work sees her bring her own unique style to the alternative country music genre – her acoustic Americana far removed from the pop/rock music that made her name. But one thing remains the same: she’s still a girl with a guitar and a voice you won’t forget. From rock chick to country girl, Jill Jackson’s career has already surpassed the expectations of the nine-year old girl who first picked up that Honner guitar.

At the end of 2005 Jill embarked upon an extensive 30-night UK tour supporting Nashville singer/songwriter Kevin Montgomery and his band, which included the legendary Al Perkins – a man who has performed with Jill’s idols Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris among others.  During this tour Jill performed some of the material from her first solo album, which she released early in 2006 – an eponymous 10-track acoustic record. Former Spice Girl Melanie C recorded two of the songs from that album (‘Don’t Let Me Go’ and ‘What If I Stay’) for her fourth studio record “This Time” (2007).

Jill spent the latter part of 2006 in Nashville where she was described in the press as the “Scottish songbird” after fulfilling a dream by performing at the legendary Bluebird Café. Following her return from the US Jill threw herself into gigging her solo material, all the while writing new songs and building up a loyal fan base. Many of Jill’s fans have stuck with Jill since her Speedway days despite the change in music – something Jill is truly grateful for. She followed up the release of her 2006 acoustic album by touring with Natalie Imbruglia in 2007 and supporting Albert Lee in 2008.

At the end of 2008 Jill was reunited with Kevin Montgomery when they embarked upon a ‘50 States in 50 Days’ tour across America – an exhausting endurance test that saw the pair drive 22,000 miles in little over 7 weeks.  It was on the final leg of this tour in Hawaii that Jill bought her first ukulele and immediately fell in love with it.  Such is her love of the instrument that it inspired the creation of her 5-track ukulele EP “Painted Faces”, which was released in August 2009.

With momentum building and her profile as a solo artist rising steadily 2011 promises to be a big year for Jill Jackson.  Her new album, entitled ‘Back to Zero’, is due for release early in the New Year. “This new record will be the one that defines me as a writer. It’s fun, intense and hugely personal.”

Inspired by legends such as Dolly Parton, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Shawn Colvin, Shelby Lynne, Chet Atkins and Joni Mitchell, Jackson has developed a musical style that is very much her own. Her voice has a warmth, clarity and haunting melancholy reminiscent of Karen Carpenter, with a similar ability to make every listener feel she is singing just for them. It’s that intimacy, coupled with her brilliantly crafted lyrics and beautiful melodies that inspires the adoration of her growing fan base.  Rarely do people listen to Jill’s music or watch her perform without being deeply moved.  The songs, like the woman behind them, are unforgettable.

How do I reduce my cancer risk?

Once risky genes have been confirmed, earlier screening will be recommended to ensure any cancer that may develop is caught early. Your medical professional will also discuss preventative options to reduce your risk of cancer. Recommendations may vary slightly depending on where you live.

Cancer screening will not actually reduce your risk of cancer, but the goal is to find a cancer as early as possible, when treatment is likely to be most effective. This may include:

  • practicing self-awareness
  • breast screening
  • abdominal exam
  • ovarian screening
  • prostate exam
  • cervical exam

Ask your medical professionals for more specific information about the screening options available for your situation.

Cancer Risk Reduction

There is a large body of evidence to support that regular exercise and reducing input of toxins and increasing intake of healthy foods will reduce your risk of cancer, whether or not you have a hereditary predisposition.

In some cases, chemoprevention may be suggested in the form of a drug that can be taken to reduce your risk of getting cancer (e.g., tamoxifen).  There are side effects from all drugs, so ensure you weigh the risks with your medical professionals.

Preventative (Prophylactic) Surgery

The most effective, and controversial, risk-reducing strategies are in the form of prophylactic (preventative) surgeries. For women this could mean removal of both breasts (double-mastectomy) and related reconstruction, and removal of the ovaries (and fallopian tubes). It may also mean a hysterectomy and removal of the top of the cervix, depending on your risk factors and your doctor’s recommendation.

Be Your Own Advocate

Having risky genes is complicated and far reaching, requiring visits to many different health professionals over a period of many years. Typically, someone with risky genes will see several or all of the following through their screening and prevention journey or in the event of a cancer diagnosis.  This makes it important to have genetic testing early, so there is plenty of time to consider fertility issues, make important decisions regarding prevention and have the time to carry them through.

  • General Practitioner – initial criteria assessment and referral for genetics testing
  • Genetics Professional – assessment / testing / results
  • Imaging Specialist – screening
  • Fertility Specialist – fertility options and risks
  • Oncologist – chemoprevention and/or chemotherapy
  • General / Oncology Surgeon – biopsies / mastectomy / other cancer removal surgery
  • Plastic Surgeon – reconstructive surgeries
  • Gynaecological / Oncology Surgeon – ovary / fallopian tube / uterus / top of cervix removal
  • Menopause Specialist – symptom relief
  • Psychologist – family and/or partner issues and/or lack of support / body image / concern for children / other

Risky genes are not often well understood, even within our medical communities. Here are some tips to help you ensure you are receiving the best care possible:

Knowledge is power

Do your own research, making sure to stick to reputable websites and organizations. Keep up on the latest news and research findings.

Take someone with you to key appointments

Many of the appointments are difficult and overwhelming, so bring along a relative or friend. It is not always possible to absorb everything being said, so a second set of ears is extremely helpful and also provides emotional support.

Take notes

Purchase a notebook small enough to carry to every appointment. Write down questions for the doctor beforehand and write down all answers. Again, if possible ensure a second person is taking notes as they will not be as emotionally overwhelmed, so will be less likely to misinterpret or miss something.

Ask for a copy of your medical records

Everyone has a right to their medical records. Periodically reviewing your history may help to connect the dots between different doctors and appointments. Having your notes and health records available when you visit a new doctor or when you need to provide your health history prior to surgery or for other reasons means you don’t have to rely on memory alone so will reduce omissions and errors.

Speak up

If something doesn’t feel right question it. It is ok to say no, even to your doctor.

Get a second opinion if possible

Actress Rita Wilson was recently diagnosed with breast cancer on a second option. Had she listened to the first opinion it may have cost her her life.

We Get It

Research suggests that being told you have risky genes is as traumatic as hearing that you have cancer. For those of us that have risky genes and also have had cancer, we know that to be true. Part of what makes learning we carry risky genes so difficult is that it’s then not just about us. We worry for our family, especially our children. For those of us who don’t have a life partner or children yet, there is the added devastation of facing decisions around fertility and wondering how this will all affect our romantic relationships.

We are here! You aren’t alone! We’ve been in your shoes and are here to tell you there is life beyond what you are going through today. You can make a difference in your own life and for others! We want to meet you!

The (not so) sweet life – Rocycle
Discover You

The (not so) sweet life

It’s easy to think that it’s all sugar and spice and everything nice, but not everything about the white stuff is actually so sweet. Studies have shown that consuming too much sugar can drastically dehydrate you, cause insomnia and also fuel the fire for unhealthy bacterial growth in your gut. Sounds pretty bad, no?

But quitting the habit cold turkey is much easier said than done. Trust us, we know. So instead of setting your sugar bowl aflame and throwing out every treat in your cupboards, we want to provide you a list of tips to make the transition easier. That way, this sweet separation will be long-term, rather than just a temporary conscious uncoupling.

Here’s how to ensure you’re reaching for an orange instead of an Oreo, next time those ferocious cravings strike.

#1. Focus on your long-term goals.

It sounds crazy, but giving proper attention to the benefits you’ll reap in the long run from ditching sugar will help keep you motivated. Imagine those killer abs this summer or picture your clear, glowing skin by next winter, and you won’t even be tempted to grab that stroopwaffel.

#2. Add adaptogens to adapt to your new sugar habits.

Adaptogens like maca and ashwagandha help curb cravings and diminish stress (which often kicks off our cravings!). Adding a spoonful or two to your afternoon smoothie will help with your sweet tooth. Bonus: they’ll also help ramp up your sex life. Sweet!

#3. Opt for natural sweeteners.

Your body processes refined sugars much more quickly than those that are natural and unrefined. Adding dates or coconut sugar to your chia pudding will help you avoid blood sugar spikes.

#4. Uh huh, honey.

Fear not, your life will still be sweet and golden! Stirring a little bit of honey into your morning coffee can help stabilize cravings for the rest of the day. Spring for raw honey, as it has many natural, healing properties.

#5. Get fruity.

Nature’s candy is staring right at you! Ditch the Snickers and blend up a handful of frozen bananas into a delicious and naturally sweet n’ice cream!

A message from Ro

Keep calm & cool down

On the left column, there is a link for Service Activities, and you are encouraged to record there!”

Do You Like It Rough?

Virgil Finlay
Virgil Finlay
Recently, I was browsing some rulebooks at a local shop and I picked up a copy of the 5E Players Handbook. Much like many newer editions of D&D, it was a slick product with high-quality art, printed on high-quality paper. Everything about it was glossy and polished. The cover art was excellent, the interior art was excellent, with colors galore throughout the book. Even the page layouts were detailed and colorful. But I wondered: was it too much?

How much production value can be put into something before a line is crossed into it being over done? As nice and as shiny as the newer books are, I can't help but feel that I prefer my old first edition volumes. Just pick any example from one of the books and compare the old presentation to the new. The art in my old books was rough and sketchy and it was obvious that a living creature would look much different than the illustrations found therein. The new art, in contrast, shows vibrant depictions of all manner of monsters you can meet in the game. But the old sketchy pictures left something for me to fill in on my own. I painted my own mental picture. I don't really get to do that with the new material.

Imagination has always been one of the staples of this hobby. Not just to imagine that you are someone else, but to imagine what things, places, and people look like. Hearing the descriptions from the DM, and forming your own images has, for me, always been one of the things I enjoyed most. And conversely, as a DM, to see the lights go on in the eyes of my players when they have done the same from my own monologues.

Also, there is no small amount of nostalgia to be experienced by gamers of a certain age, cough, cough, continuing to use not only the older material but much of the new OSR material created in the spirit of the olden days of gaming. So it raises a question for me: are there others out there that prefer the OSR aesthetic? Are you like me? Do you like it rough?

This is, surely, a wondrous time to be a gamer of any sort. The RPG industry has grown into something that can be overwhelming at times. The amount of content out there has never been more bountiful. Books, dice, and miniatures are easy to come by and you don't even have to assemble and paint all of the miniatures anymore. Computer games and RPG computer tools can immerse you in masterfully rendered fictional worlds on levels we never dreamed of before.

But we were still dreaming in those days.

  1. Yesss!!! You nailed it. I complained back when Dragon and Dungeon magazines went over to that glossy paper. they make these way over the top products and then try to tell us that the high price tags are a necessity. As bad as Palladium is for it's rules, at least it still makes great looking books at a good value. Black ink on actual paper. Of course I run it all using Fate now-a-days. But for D&D, It's classic modules and Old School Revival for me.

  2. I share your view that a lot of the "new and improved, in living full color" art and layouts are just not cutting it. I remember looking at the AD&D Fiend Folio as a 12-year old kid as if it were some forgotten tome of lore. The black and white artwork, while generally dismissed - and even groused about - by gamers addicted to full color everything, was evocative in that "forgotten lore" way. The same goes for the first AD&D monster manual. The second AD&D Monster Manual, ehhh... Not as good. Still, it's affected my own preferences when it comes to production values in my own publications. I can't see myself in reality (or even in my wildest fantasies of the industry) burning the cash for full-color artwork and layout. Give me black and white/grayscale art and I'm happy.

    1. Yes, that is a good way to put it. Tomes of forgotten lore. The art was like something an eye witness would sketch out to illustrate a first hand story.

  3. When it looks like the artist has chewed up Skittles and puked them back on the page I draw the line. I guess there is at least one exception though in the form of Towers Two. Most of the time I like plain old black & white, or B&W with some color accents.

Introduction Edit

Annihilation is an Infinite Mode achievement in Run 3, found in IM 41.

Suggested characters: RunnerFront LizardFront DuplicatorFront

Gameplay Edit

Jump immediately after you land on a platform. This saves time as you need to get through every platform as quickly as possible.

Depending on which character you happen to be using when you reach IM 41, you could breeze through destroying the tunnel. If you happen to be using any of the characters in the suggested characters list, you will have an easy time getting this achievement. However, if you are using, for example, the Child or the Skater, it is impossible to get this achievement, due to their very long jumps and fast speeds (for the Skater).

Remember, do not save the platforms to guarantee that you will have something to land on near the end. If you do this, you will run out of time to make it all the way around the tunnel and destroy everything.

ROO #125: Julie Piatt on the Creative Process Behind the Plantpower Way

“The truth is that preparing a meal is actually the ultimate performance art. Its a creative expression. Its unique to you and to the ingredients that you have on hand. It will only be that way, that one time. So, you can never prepare the meal the same way again. Its an impossibility.” – Julie Piatt * In this episode, Julie Piatt, plant-based chef, author, healer, musician, yogi, meditator, and mother of four, returns to the ROO Podcast to discuss the upcoming release of “The Plantpower Way.” Julie shares the seeds of inspiration behind the book, from feeding Rich Roll, her husband, during his ultra-endurance endeavorers to collecting recipes throughout her lifetime. She explores how “The Plantpower Way” is more than just a book, but rather an aspirational lifestyle guide. Julie reflects on the challenges she faced in the creative process of forming the book. She explains how to empower your children to eat plant based and how it can change your life at the cellular level. Julie discusses the revolutionary approach Rich and her have taken for their pre-order campaign, grounded in gratitude and service. Lastly, Julie reveals her dreams for the growth of “The Plantpower Way.”

2013 Conference Report

RWH1697 started life as a Heritage Lottery funded learning project and this has continued in 2013 with a Young Roots award for young people learning about their local history.

All of this work has been headed up by Stephen Clancy, a freelance archaeologist and Historian who also works part-time at the University of the West of Scotland.

There is now a proposal that we try to establish a progressive research strand of the overall project – feeding into the main project on a regular, year on year basis so that we have the chance to continue to build on the knowledge and understanding about this important aspect of Renfrewshire’s history. All the findings could then be disseminated via the website, the touring exhibition and the annual festival – reaching schools, community organizations and building on the tourism resources we are currently trying to develop with a digital tourist trail application.

The programme.
Hosted by the University of the west of Scotland, with more than 50 delegates (20+ of whom were UWS students on a tourism and regeneration course), the programme for the 2013 conference was as follows:

Stephen Clancy: Paisley’s forgotten Heritage
In his talk, Stephen updated us on some of the most recent findings relating to Christian Shaw – in particular her influence over and impact on the development of the thread industry in Renfrewshire. He also covered some of the fascinating but lesser known histories of the area.
Delegates agreed that not only is Renfrewshire a potential tourist destination for a one day visit, with real focus and development, visitors could spend a week in the area and still leave knowing there is more to explore

Prof. Hugh McLachlan: From Witches to Stitches and Riches
Professor McLachlan has a background with Glasgow’s Caledonian University. His talk looked at the more positive angle of the Christian Shaw story: after all, this young woman was an entrepreneur who kicked started what was to become the key industry in Paisley during the 19th and 20th Centuries.
Hugh asked, not so much whether or not the ìwitchcraftî of the 17th Century existed (clearly there were and are people who practice witchcraft – the question is, if it is used for healing and such like, should it be a criminal offence?).
Hugh’s conclusions about the Bargarran events and the links to the threadmill history were clear about their potential to be used to generate wealth for the region.

Ingrid Shearer: A Case Study – Govan Old Kirk
Ingrid is a partner in the renowned archeology organization, Northlight Heirtage.
Her focus was on a case study where another community in Glasgow is using its heritage to build tourism.
Govan, which Ingrid controversially asserted had almost a bigger claim to being the home of the early textile industry than Paisley) has an early Christian settlement and a collection of Viking Hogback stones in its possession. With a recent ìredisplay projectî allowing much greater access to the stones, there is growing interest in heritage tourism as a way of regenerating a declining, post industrial urban community.

A sandwich lunch and networking gave the impetus to return for the afternoon session where we broke into workshop groups and conducted round table discussions on how we can take ideas forward for Renfrewshire Witch Hunt 1697 (see appendix A).

Are there lessons to be learned from other communities?
What about other towns where ìthemedî festivals attract tourists in their thousands, like Wigtown Book Festival or the Hawick Reivers Festival?
What about other parts of the world where towns have used their dark past stories of Witchcraft to re invent themselves for the future. Salem in the USA is the best example of this, but there are others. As Hugh McLachlan pointed out, our story can turn the negative into positive as the perpetrators go on to bring wealth into the region in the form of the early thread industry.

We looked at the development plan which has been produced for us (and with us) through support from the Scottish Governments Just Enterprise scheme. John Black has prepared the plan with suggestions as to how we could develop RWH1697 as a social enterprise (See appendix B)

Finally, Liz Thomas, adviser to the board of Trustees, presented a trustee recruitment pack and the event finished with a call for interested parties to put themselves forward as potential trustees of the organization.

F3 Manufacturing

F3 Manufacturing

1100 New York 109, Farmingdale 11735, New York, United States

Authorized Distributor
General info

Our Culture

We’re not just a story of Made in the USA, we’re a story of Made in Maine, where craftsmanship and work ethic is legendary. Our 85,000 sq’ facility is located in Mid Maine. We don’t have fancy digs but we do have state of the art equipment and Maine ingenuity. Inside our humble surroundings, we do one thing and we do it well: we build the finest aluminum truck equipment in the country.

Our Goals

Simply put: to create an efficient manufacturing process that allows us to provide superior aluminum products at pricing that’s competitive with lower quality steel.

Our Team

F3 MFG has a seasoned ownership team with more than 85 years of collective manufacturing experience. Over the last 40 years and numerous businesses, we’ve employed more than 4,000 workers nationwide, with a track record of being a leader in every market segment that we have participated in. From design to operations to sales, we have the team that will deliver what you need to optimize your profits – a hard working body that’s rugged and attractive.

What Drives Us – A Market Revolution

There’s a Market Change going on. We’re excited to participate in a significant market shift in truck equipment- a continued trend away from heavy steel to durable aluminum. While part of that change is driven by higher profit opportunity at the consumer level (better gas mileage, less maintenance on rust repair and repaint, higher payloads, reduced wear and tear on your trucks, better riding trucks, etc.), there seems to be more to it than either environmental responsibility or direct operational profits. With company trucks being a rolling billboard, a good image has become essential as the marketplace becomes more competitive. We build the bodies that save you money AND make you look good.

Our History in This Arena

The transition from Steel to Aluminum is a trend that’s played out in other industries. A large scale example is the recreational trailer market. In 1995, steel dominated the recreational trailer market; less than 10% were built from Aluminum. Today, Aluminum trailers account for more than 40% of all recreational trailers. Our management team drove that change by developing and marketing superior Aluminum trailers that sold at steel prices. Our focused effort resulted in the creation of the largest manufacturer of Aluminum recreational trailers in North America.

In 2009, moving on from trailers, F3 MFG (formerly Magnum Manufacturing) entered the aluminum truck body market. We studied the competition and incorporated the good, tossed the bad and designed solutions our customers were asking for – both then and now. We’re confident that we build the finest aluminum bodies on the market and we will work to be sure you’re entirely satisfied with all of our products. Simply put – “that’s who we are.”

Utility of St. Gallen and energienetz GSG

Co-creating potential areas of cooperation together with local SMEs

St. Gallen utility is one of Switzerland’s most innovative utilities. The utility has invested in multiple renewable energy resources (especially photovoltaics and water power), mobility initiatives and a full fiber optic cable network for the entire city. The utility strives to make St. Gallen a Smart City and to create Smart Grids related products and services that facilitate and improve business for the enterprises in the region and the utility itself. In addition, energy development in St. Gallen is sharpened by the so called energienetz GSG, an energy related network of companies in the area’s business districts. Together, the companies developed a cross-company energy concept that they can adapt to changing environments and technologies and together advocate reliable, competitive and green energy for commercial energy users. Together, the companies have created energy clusters for e.g. CHP initiatives and share know-how on energy management in business, trade and industrial processes. In fact, the energienetz GSG has become a vital partner for St. Gallen’s utility to learn about the energy-related needs and challenges of commercial customers in their supply area and the S3C consortium was asked by the utility to facilitate a co-creation process targeting this exact issue. In the end, a co-creation workshop helped to delineate large business cases and projects that are of interest to both the companies and the utility (see picture below) and the participants shared the impression that they understood each other’s perspective.

Based on the S3C guideline "Co-creation - collaborating to develop smart energy solutions" a half-day cooperation workshop titled "What you always wanted from your energy supplier" was organised. The workshop was facilitated by a professional moderator from the S3C consortium and covered the phases "explore" and "investigate" described in the co-creation guideline in order to provide the utility with a sound basis to prepare the "design” phase.

The S3C contact persons at the St. Gallen utility and the energienetz GSG were satisfied with the outcome of the workshop and particularly liked the fact that co-creation as delineated by the S3C guideline can serve multiple purposes – from dealing with technical functionalities to social expectations – while being close to the customer at all time.

The main learning for the S3C consortium relates to the different expectations towards co-creation processes. Depending on the types of products and services to be developed and the customers segment – commercial or residential – to be addressed, the expectations and time frames for the co-creation processes were very different. While the co-creation process in the S3C trial project Mooi Wildeman was implemented over a course of weeks and the design of the individual steps of co-creation were designed flexibly, the requirements for the co-creation workshop with commercial representatives were to be as concise and time-efficient as possible. The additional experience could be included in the guideline to delineate both situations – implementing a co-creation process geared towards residential and commercial users.

PlayStation 4 Will Continue to Outsell the Xbox One

on Thursday, October 9, 2014

The most recent NPD Group retail figures for the month of August in the United States show that the PlayStation 4 from Sony has managed to sell more units than the rival Xbox One from Microsoft, the eighth month in a row that it has managed to achieve this result

Reports from other markets, including the United Kingdom and Germany in Europe, are showing a similar result for the competition between the two home consoles, and on the Japanese market the Sony device, while not a best-seller, also dominates its main competitor.

No clear information on actual sales numbers is available at the moment, but Sony says that its platform has managed to get past the 10 million mark worldwide.

The big question for modern console gamers at the moment is: can the PlayStation 4 continue to outsell the Xbox One and what does that mean for the industry at large?

A question of price and philosophy

When the two then next-gen devices were first introduced, the Xbox One had the Kinect motion tracking system included but cost 100 dollars or Euro more, while the PlayStation 4 was seen as both a little more powerful and more accessible.

Since then, Microsoft has cut the price of its own platform and eliminated the motion tracking system, while Sony has been pushing new firmware updates in order to increase its own profile.

A number of analysts are saying that the Xbox One should have managed to at least achieve parity with its main competitor until now, especially given the fact that it delivered a special bundle for Madden NFL 15 and announced a number of special packages for the fall.

But it might be that price and games availability are not the only reasons that drive a modern gamer to pick up a new game console and choose one of the two major platforms available at the moment.

Since the Xbox One was first introduced, Microsoft has made a number of policy decisions that were met with strong opposition from the public and were then reversed, at least in part, under pressure from the fan base.

This might make buyers a little afraid of picking up the device because they are unsure about the way it will be managed in the future.

A trend that can be reversed

For a long period of time, the Xbox 360 dominated the last-gen console race, and the PlayStation 3 was unable to mount a huge challenge.

For modern devices, the situation will change because it’s much easier for a company to create big promotions and events for its own platform.

At the moment, Microsoft is aiming to focus on exclusive releases, with big advertising efforts planned for Sunset Overdrive, the Halo: Master Chief Collection and the Rise of the Tomb Raider experience.

There are also rumors that the Xbox One might get another price cut that will bring its price down to 349 dollars or Euro.

Halo 5: Guardians is also on the horizon and coming fall 2015 we might have to deal with an entirely different console chart, with the Xbox One on top of the PlayStation 4.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba Miracles

  Swami's Healing Hand

Mrs. Dee Lampman, Yachats, Oregon, USA

I have been asked to write an article for your newsletter, which explains how myself and my family came to know Sai Baba. I hope that through His grace, this story may bring hope and inspiration to others.

I am 38 years old, a mother of two sons, ages 12 and 16, and a wife to a treasured husband. Two years ago, in September of 1994, I was involved in an accident while riding my bicycle. A diagnosis was made two months later, that I was suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. The accident brought about many symptoms that had previously been dormant. Up until this time I had been suffering since my teens, with depression. In the past ten years my mental concentration became affected, and also I developed various subtle physical symptoms as well. It is possible that I had this disease since eleven years of age. After this accident, I had developed uncontrollable pain, and quickly began to lose the ability to walk. By December, I was using crutches, and we purchased my first wheelchair. The following spring, in May 1995, I was admitted into the hospital to have my gallbladder removed. It was seemingly a simple procedure. Once again the trauma to my body caused a serious worsening of the Multiple Sclerosis. My pain medicine was switched to morphine. I became weaker, and after spending six weeks in the hospital, I went home to a hospital bed in our living room, with home skilled care.

I was a candidate for nursing home placement at that point, but my family took the burden for my care. Six months went by with some improvement, although I was still taking morphine for uncontrollable pain. I was starting to use a walker again, but was primarily wheelchair bound most of the time. I had decided to take my younger son and his best friend for a shopping trip at a local mall. We used a public disabled transport bus for this excursion. On our way home, we were involved in an accident. The boys were unhurt, but I was badly jostled. As a result of this accident which occurred in January of 1996, the Multiple Sclerosis began affecting the "autonomic nervous system". This is the part of the body which basically controls all life functions, so my health was in serious trouble. The end of the next month, in February, I found myself truly dying from the disease and complications. I was unable to move, raise my head, barely swallow, had limited vision, heart, blood pressure, and liver problems, and unrelenting pain. I remained at home, as this was my wish.

During the next two days, at the beginning of March, I made a few brief phone calls to friends, saying good-bye. I have kept in contact with many friends over the years, and they knew the seriousness of my illness. Now I needed their support and prayers more than ever. I had become a name on so many different prayer lists: individuals and entire groups of people. (After my recovery, I realized that this number amounted to over 2,000 people praying for me, who were from all different faiths and backgrounds.)

During late February, another close friend, whom I had known since my teen years, was in India, on her first trip to see Swami (Sathya Sai Baba). I knew that she had taken a trip to see her "guru", but at that time, I was totally unfamiliar with Sai Baba. On her first day, she was seated in the front row during darshan. She handed Swami a letter, which included a request for help for me. Two weeks later, she and her group were granted a personal interview. She again remembered me to Swami, asking for his help for my suffering. She was not anticipating a healing or a cure from my disease.

I experienced a "near death" episode during the first week of March. I went through an agonizing recovery period, but it was a very rapid process. Soon, I was no longer on my death bed, and began to have urges to get up and walk for a few feet, from my wheelchair. My body no longer required all the medicines I was taking, and the healing was underway. I did not know exactly what was happening to me, nor did my family or physician. On April 18, 1996, I walked into my doctor's office, and after a complete physical exam, I was declared in full remission from the disease.

The very next day, a package arrived in the mail from my long time friend who had returned from India. She sent us a package of Vibhuti, a book about Swami, and the "healing" photo of him, holding  the  golden heart lingam. Both my husband and I at once realized that Swami was the receiver of all those prayers going out for me, and that through His divine grace, I had been cured from this terrible disease, for which modern science acknowledges, "no known cure." Our family attended Bhajans for the first time, a month later.

There is an overwhelming sense of "coming home" for me, since I have known of SathyaSai Baba.  He has filled my emptiness, and spread his love and grace over me, and over my family. Some day we hope to travel to India, to see His physical form, but for now, we have already experienced His touch and Love, in a most powerful way.

Blood Oath (1990)

On an obscure Pacific Island just north of Australia, the Japanese Empire has operated a prisoner of war camp for Australian soldiers. At the close of World War II, the liberated POWs tell a gruesome tale of mass executions of over eight hundred persons as well as torture style killings of downed Australian airmen. In an attempt to bring those responsible to justice, the Australian Army establishes a War Crimes Tribunal to pass judgement on the Japanese men and officers who ran the Ambon camp. In an added twist, a high ranking Japanese admiral is implicated, and politics become involoved with justice as American authorities in Japan lobby for the Admiral's release.

Buffalo fighting festival. 10 days of fights
Buffalo fighting festival. 10 days of fights

The Chaweng stadium will host a buffalo fighting festival which will take place from 22 to 31 of May 2014
Every day starting from 17-30, a new pair of horned opponents will meet at the arena, and by the end of the fight the winner (or shall we say its owners) will be awarded an impressive prize. For each pair of competitors there is a predetermined prize fund and the amounts are significant - from 200,000 to one million baht.

Buffalo fights in Thailand have nothing to do with the Spanish bullfights. Here it is a rather bloodless spectacle and the fight is held not between an animal and an armed man, but between two animals equivalent in strength and weight. In fact, "buffalo fights" should rather be called "fight-or-flight" because there are no tragic scenes or red cloth, no sharp daggers or dead animals or injured bullfighters. It is rather a struggle to establish the bull’s authority in record time.

The fights will be between water buffaloes. Their population worldwide is approximately 130 million heads, and in Thailand in 2009, there were counted about 1.3 million. The animal weights from 300 to 600 kg. Buffaloes were domesticated more than 5,000 years ago in India. They are ideal for work in rice fields, and in general are all-rounders in the household agricultural areas, but in Samui they are kept only for entertainment, because such fights are regularly held at special sites of the island. By winning, the most "authoritative" buffalos feed not only their owners, but also all those who bet on their victory (Thais, like all Asians, like gambling a lot!).

For the competition the buffalo will be richly decorated and blessed by the local monks. Before the fight starts the buffalos are separated from each other by a white canvas, so that they can’t see each other, otherwise thy might start figuring out who's in charge as soon as they get to the stadium.

Buffalo fights have been held in Thailand for a long time and have become an integral part of the local culture. In these battles, there is nothing unnatural - buffalo behave exactly as in the wild, the only difference is that just for the show their behavior is slightly directed and adjusted.

Duel ends when one of the buffalo admit defeat - or falls down unable to withstand the pressure in the battle or cowardly escapes. Then everyone congratulate the winner and its owner, who at this moment become much richer, and not only due to the prize money - the buffalo's value also rises..
