Is age a factor in the success or failure of remote monitoring in heart failure? Telemonitoring and structured telephone support in elderly heart failure patients
Inglis, S. C., Conway, A., Cleland, J. G.F. and Clark, R. A. (2015) Is age a factor in the success or failure of remote monitoring in heart failure? Telemonitoring and structured telephone support in elderly heart failure patients. European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 14(3), pp. 248-255. (doi:10.1177/1474515114530611) (PMID:24681423)
Background: There are few data regarding the effectiveness of remote monitoring for older people with heart failure. We conducted a post-hoc sub-analysis of a previously published large Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant randomized controlled trials to determine whether structured telephone support and telemonitoring were effective in this population. Methods: A post hoc sub-analysis of a systematic review and meta-analysis that applied the Cochrane methodology was conducted. Meta-analyses of all-cause mortality, all-cause hospitalizations and heart failure-related hospitalizations were performed for studies where the mean or median age of participants was 70 or more years. Results: The mean or median age of participants was 70 or more years in eight of the 16 (n=2659/5613; 47%) structured telephone support studies and four of the 11 (n=894/2710; 33%) telemonitoring studies. Structured telephone support (RR 0.80; 95% CI=0.63–1.00) and telemonitoring (RR 0.56; 95% CI=0.41–0.76) interventions reduced mortality. Structured telephone support interventions reduced heart failure-related hospitalizations (RR 0.81; 95% CI=0.67–0.99). Conclusion: Despite a systematic bias towards recruitment of individuals younger than the epidemiological average into the randomized controlled trials, older people with heart failure did benefit from structured telephone support and telemonitoring. These post-hoc sub-analysis results were similar to overall effects observed in the main metaanalysis. While further research is required to confirm these observational findings, the evidence at hand indicates that discrimination by age alone may be not be appropriate when inviting participation in a remote monitoring service for heart failure.

The holidays are over and it's time to get back to work!
Or, if you're a Border Collie, you never took off for the holidays.
But the rest of us can look back over the holidays . . .
and reflect on our blessings . . .
And then, like the Border Collies . . .
It's actually a dry part of the creek that bisects the ranch. The creek is my favorite part of the ranch.
Same thing as a desert wash. It's dry until it rains. It's beautiful.

Another Holy Gay "Admission"
By Andrew Belonsky November 6, 2006 at 8:11am · 11 comments
So, Friday we established that Evangelical Rev Ted Haggard admitted to buying meth through a hooker named Mike Jones. Over the weekend – on Sunday, actually, in a letter read to his congregation by standby president, Rev. Larry Stockstill – Haggard admitted to so-called "sexual immorality" after being fired by a jury of his God-fearing peers.
The fact is I am guilty of sexual immorality. And I take responsibility for the entire problem. I am a deceiver and a liar. There's a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I have been warring against it for all of my adult life.
Indeed. Battling with internal homophobia's ugly business. It's especially vile when the pereson in question's an outspoken gay-nemesis. So hideously revolting that children were ejected from the room to protect their innocent, Biblically anesthetized ears from the grotesque, homosexually charged discussion, The New York Times reported.
We actually feel sort of bad for poor Haggard. He's obviously got so many unresolved issues, we can't even wrap our minds around the pocked nightmare that is his psyche.
The cover-up, it seems, comes not from a deep-seated shame. On the contrary, as Haggard writes in his letter, the aforemetioned disception came from "pride": "because of pride, I began deceiving those I love the most because I didn't want to hurt or disappoint them."
Yeah, that sure sounds like pride to us.
Anyway, don't worry about Teddy Boy – most of the 30 million Evangelicals Haggard called his own when he was still president of National Association of Evangelicals are a forgiving people. We're sure that once Haggard comes crawling back begging for salvation from his inner self, he'll be right back on the pulpit from which he's preached so much anti-homo balderdash. (Will James Dobson lead the pack?)
We have to admit, we'd prefer if he'd use his even-broader fame for good, not evil, i.e. calling homosexuality repulsive. Sure, we may feel a little bad for the guy, but we're not feeling especially merciful this morning.
What do you think, cheery-eyed readers? Should Haggard be forgiven?
(By the way, we love this picture of Haggard preaching in Honolulu. He wants it all over his face. If you're as sick as we are, you'll notice the microphone looks a bit suspect, as well.)

As "they" have so often said, "you reap what you sew." Zealots aren't usually a forgiving bunch; their sanity hangs too much by a tenuous thread to see things rationally. That's why they're zealots. It's kharma time for this guy, sadly. Hope he learns a good lesson from it all.

Rev. Paul L. Hershey
This is sad, sad . No one profits from this
November 6, 2006 at 11:11am
That's right. And evangelicals are all about profits.
I believe in the power of forgiving, but it must come with the fact that the people who did wrong attempt to either undo the damage or otherwise make up for it somehow.
If Haggard comes to some sort of epiphany and starts to try to get evangelicals to change, telling them that it's just a fact of life some people are gay and can't do anything about it (so it's best to accept them), then yes, I could forgive him. However, I won't hold my breath.
He was a weasle for almost his entire life. Life-long weasles tend not to change. I hope I'm wrong.
westvill
Haggard doesn't need forgiveness from his fellow parishioners, he needs acceptance.
He should be seeking forgiveness from the gay community for vociferously standing contrary to gay rights all the while enjoying the fruits of gay life.
November 6, 2006 at 12:11pm
I think eventually he'll come out. I actually think this is a good thing. Millions of people who would ignore gay people will see the coming out process. They saw the hiding, now the self-hate, and soon the attempt to "fix" it. Dobson and his folks will alienate him and he'll come out. Whether that's in a week or month or year I don't know.
November 6, 2006 at 1:11pm
I do admit I've been loving watching this story unfold, and I have been chuckling at the whole thing.
That being said, I think the gay religious leaders as well as our Nat'l rights Groups (HRC & others) seem to be missing an oportunity to reach out to this man. Over all think of the message this could have to our gay youth that our trying to hide in the evangelical movement if they had role model of someone that messed up thier life but then came out and repudiated the teachings of the far right and then became a Nat'l leader in our movement for equal rights! Sadly, I don't think either this man or our Nat'l groups will step up.
Peter LeCornu
I just read this on a post somewhere else, but I'll put it in my words and say there's something pathological about wanting to be a Bible preacher.
Anyone who wants to stand up and tell others what God wants them to do, day after day, week after week, and tell them what they are supposed to be like… Well, it is just bizarre, and most of them are so screwed up, that is why they have to become preachers in the first place.
Thus one nutter after another…Bakker, Falwell, Swaggart.
I agree with Kevin, that poor Haggard is going to be forced into some elite ex-gay type program, but with what he's already been through, and because I feel he is intelligent, and learning from his suffering, he's going to realize at some point that he's gay or wants to try the loving thing with men, and that it isn't a sin. He'll learn how to be true to himself, instead of trying to conform to standards of evangelical Christians or some idealized version of himself that he wishes he were.
From there, maybe he'll leave the church or go on to preach at a Metropolitain Community Church.
dbb: I think just this incident, will help put some thought into the minds of some young gay kids who are stuck in this type of evangelical upbringing, make them think twice. They'll think "Gee if Pastor Ted is gay and waiting until he's 50 to cope with it, well, maybe I better see if I can try this a little…."
At any rate, it is better for nearly any kid today, even an evangelical one, than it was thirty or forty years ago.
Off topic: Man, the editorial director of this blog is cute, ain't he?
Yep, Ted we feel ya:
Every month for 3 years=36 times
$100 a gram X 36 times=$3600
$100 an outcall X 36 times=$3600
Kaching! Total=$7200
Miles to Denver and back=120 X 36 times=4320 miles on
Ted, no one drives 4320 miles to flush $3600 worth
of speed and get a lil ole massage at $100 a pop, honey.
We know that's not why your panties are still in a bunch.
And Ted, your sin was the deceit part.
You should have been honest about your natural
feelings, told your wife, and even brought your
boyfriend to church.
You still could have been against gay marriage,
without being a hypocrite and deceiving your
congregation. It's the lying and hypocrisy, stoopid.
Charles Vallario
For many years after my mother left the Catholic Churh to become a protestant so that she could take the pill I suffered through hell and back because of the protestant stupidity though I knew of some pastors that were gay and had seduced me and other stuff like that but she would not understand. This is about hipocrisy like when the Mormons got a revelation that black people were equal (around the time they were going to be investigated) and here in Virginia some people gave me an ugly look when I told them this marriage thing is going to backfire as the Gus Boulos murder in Florida. The right wing protestants and the Cuban establishment that supports the Bush people must have been on it and now they are reaping their reward. And lo and behold 2 days later a Halloween surprise. We shall overcome, it took sometime after Stonewall but we got there. And we will be going into Valhalla, not Paradisel As Moctezuma said when he was being impailed by the Spaniards, if this is what the God of the Christians does, then I don't want to go to his heaven.

The focus of our life together is our worship, and our worship empowers us for our service in the world. Episcopal worship is rich in symbolism and tradition while maintaining its relevance to this time, place, and culture.
Worship at St. Timothy's is vibrant and Spirit-filled. It also reflects our belief that there are many ways to worship, pray, express our faith, and connect with God within the framework of the Book of Common Prayer.
All services are celebrations of Holy Communion, and each has a distinctive style. We invite you to experience all of them.
We have two Sunday morning services – 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
Childcare is provided for the 9:00 a.m. service for children three years old and younger in the Nursery Room in the Parish Hall (first door on the right as you enter the front doors) on Sunday mornings from 8:45 a.m. to 10:45 p.m.
10:30 a.m. – A quiet celebration of Holy Communion. A healing service is offered on the first Wednesday of each month.
Several times during the year, Saint Timothy's offers a single, combined Community Service in lieu of our regular three worship services. The Community Services are at 10:00 a.m. On these Sundays, the Good News Hour and Adult Formation may or may not be held at 9:30 a.m.
7:00 p.m. — A Taize service is offered on the first Wednesday of each month. This contemplative Christian prayer service includes simple, repetitive song and chant, meditative scripture readings, and periods of spacious silence in a setting of soft candlelight that invites deep communion with God.
This ecumenical form of Christian prayer originated about 60 years ago in a small, monastic village named Taize, located in Southeastern France, and continues there today, drawing Christians from all over the world. It has quickly spread to churches worldwide. Taize is on hiatus until further notice.

Nagpur Municipal Corporation: Efficient Street Lighting upgrade program
Last Modified: Wed Dec 25 2019 22:35:07 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
street lights under Nagpur Municipal Corporation's (NMC) 10 zones will be retrofitted by efficient LED lamps by private contractor companies, one per each zone by Jul 2018, starting Jan 2017.
estimated reduction in electricity bills for NMC's once the project is completed. The current annual spend is Rs. 40 crore.
Rs. 470 crore
total cost of the project of which Rs. 277 crore is for replacement of existing street light panels with LEDs, Rs. 106 crore for operation and maintenance of LED street lights for 99 months, Rs. 59 crore for infrastructure development, and Rs. 28 crore for works on Ring Road and Metro rail corridor. Work orders for executing the works were issued to eight private companies in Jan 2018.
estimated to be recovered through savings in electricity bills over 7 years.
approximate cut in carbon emissions every year.
years - payback period of the project.
Number of private companies that have been awarded the contract to undertake the replacements.
Number of lights replaced as of May 2018.
Remainder of the lights that are now expected to be switched between May 2018 and Dec 2018, instead of Jul. The work has been delayed due to Metro works, inordinate delay in completion of Ring Road Cement Concrete project, and delay in approval to raise Rs 59 crore loan.
Number of lights converted as of Jun 2019. The civic body is planning to finish the work on remaining 15,000 street lights within a month.
Reduction in power consumption as of Jun 2019. NMC has replaced 60 watt sodium vapour bulb with 36 watt LEDs on internal roads, and 60 watt, 105 watt and 120 watt sodium vapour lamps on major roads, squares and playgrounds with 285 watt LEDs. Apart from saving power by conversion into LED, NMC has installed a system where street lights are dimmed by 40% by 10pm and 50% by midnight. This is done automatically.
Reduction in power bills. As of Jun 2019, average monthly bill is Rs. 2.28 crore (Rs. 27.36 crore annual), down from earlier billing of Rs. 4.35 crore per month (Rs. 52.20 crore annual). This is a saving of Rs. 2.07 crore per month (Rs. 24.84 crore annual).

US plans to bolster South Korean naval defenses: report
The US military is planning a long-term program to bolster South Korea's naval defenses after the sinking of a South Korean warship, allegedly by North Korea, The New York Times reported.
The US military is planning a long-term program to bolster South Korea's naval defenses after the sinking of a South Korean warship, allegedly by North Korea, The New York Times reported on Monday.
The newspaper said the March 26 incident revealed that years of spending and training had still left the country vulnerable to surprise attacks.
A torpedo attack on the 1,200-tonne Cheonan corvette killed 46 South Korean sailors. International investigators reported on May 20 their conclusion that a North Korean submarine had fired the torpedo to sink the warship.
The North has denied involvement and responded to the South's reprisals with threats of war.
It has cut all ties with the South, scrapped pacts aimed at averting accidental flare-ups along their disputed sea border and vowed to attack any intruding ships.
In an interview with The Times last week, Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said a planned joint training exercise with South Korea planned just off the country's coast represented only the "near-term piece" of a larger strategy.
The longer-range effort would be finding ways to detect, track and counter the miniature submarines, which he called "a very difficult technical, tactical problem," he added.
"Longer term, it is a skill set that we are going to continue to press on," he told the paper.
That would involve greatly expanding South Korea's anti-submarine network to cover vast stretches of water previously thought to be too shallow to warrant monitoring closely -- with sonar and air patrols, for instance, the report said.
It would include costly investment in new technologies, as well as significant time spent determining new techniques for the South Korean military, The Times noted.

Player loses pony during game.
"Keep your hair on son, it's only a game".
If we can start scoring goals again, it will help mask all our other deficiencies.
Maybe we ought to recruit a couple of part time footballers from non-league teams. A pair of part time footballers, but full time decorators will see the cracks (subsidence) nicely papered over.
Quote from: Tes on December 18, 2014, 12:10:18 PM
The Milk Cup was good enough for Bob Paisley and until a Liverpool manager can display his trophy winning prowess then every trophy is worth winning and every competition taken seriously.
Best comment on here all year.
We'll take every bit of silverware going and doesn't
matter a f*ck who the manager is.
It's like Stevie said:
"We dust ourselves down and go again"
While we are mid-campaign, it's about the trophies
'til there aren't any left. Sure the media would love
the circus to begin and Jamie Carragher be installed
as manager (cos he knows about defending or some
other b*llshit).
Chelsea game'll be tough but we should treat like a European tie.
The management issue can be decided later. He has an
opportunity to show that he can win silverware.
Martinmarx
Just watched a clip of the pre-Arsenal pressie. I must say I didn't recognise Rodgers. His answers were extremly short and nonsensical. He came across as very defensive, non-communicative and resigned. Has he already been told he'll be replaced?
The modest Oracle of the Anfield Road Forum sometimes mistaken for Judas Iscariot.
Quote from: Martinmarx on December 19, 2014, 04:12:46 PM
interesting thought, Martin.
He's either very annoyed at the media for claiming unrest in the dressing room (and thus only gave them a very brief press conference in retaliation)......or, there is something more severe amiss.
If you believe one ex-red, our owners have had to be discouraged from dismissing Rodgers twice so far.
Rodgers is standing on the brink of being sacked. If Arsenal were to come to Anfield this weekend, and give us a pasting, then I think it is all over for Brendan. And maybe as you say, maybe he has already been told (that it is over).
shouldn't be any problems getting a few part time plasterers - especially at weekends.
I get a bit plastered then myself.
I think the criticism of Sterling has him annoyed.
But sure Fergie and even Kenny treated the media
scum with the contempt they deserve. Trying to be
best mates with them seems to be part of the Rodgers
masterplan.
Arsenal on their day this season are a frightening prospect.
Thing is they're inclined to have off days.
I say he deserves a crack at the cups in the New Year. Surely the slump
happened and it couldn't possibly get any worse...Dunno if it'll affect whatever
happens at the end of the season. Kenny bit the bullet after two finals and 1 cup.
Mr Rodgers needs to win the EL to undo the damage done in the league.
That's it, Dude, you've stumbled onto the reason for this season's plunge. Brendan's been hitting the black stuff full on, which certainly explains some of his recent team selections.
Quote from: Ed on December 19, 2014, 07:08:15 AM
Exactly. That's the up and down of it in a nutshell. Managers who don't take winning silverware seriously deserve all the flack going.
I'd actually prefer to win the UEFA Cup this season and re-qualify for the CL that way, than end the season trophyless but in the 'prized' 4th place. We also extend our position as the most successful team in the competition, and that's what this club is all about.
He's probably been given an ultimatum of some sort as part of 'not being sacked', and probably feels it's somehow unfair after last season.
He's in his third season and has been well backed by the owners, considering we're trying to be self sufficient and fit in to the FFP framework. We don't have petro-funds, so considering that, Rodgers has had good money to spend and has to realise that with that spending power comes expectation to see it being a difference maker.
Sure the media would love the circus to begin and Jamie Carragher be installed as manager (cos he knows about defending or some other b*llshit).
Moneyball is so yesterday's news. 'Hoofball' is the way forward. "Viva la hoof".
maybe Guinness will give him balance.
excatly.
no more moneyball - instead we are now working at the opposite end of the spectrum
i.e. we bring in journeymen, in their late 20s, for a barrowload of money.
I see Frank De Boer is now linked again with us, these past few days.
or at least his brother has reopened the link (for his sibling)
He has certainly turned things around at Ajax. After 7 years without the Dutch title, he has led them to four in a row.
On the downside, on the top stage (the champions league), I think (from memory) he has never led Ajax out of the group stages. And although he plays a pass and move game, with the focus on ball retention....he is a 4-3-3 man (which has never really worked in England).
But enough about Frank, let's talk about Rafa.
That's the way I look at it exactly.
It's there for the taking, so why not us?
It would seem, realistically, that the disastrous league
start has put us out of contention for top 4.
But, and it's a big but, there's a massive difference between
A manager who can put together a decent run of form
toward the end of the season (after being knocked out of
all cups) against teams, many of whom have settled for not
being relegated and are looking forward to their Summer holidays.
Say we finish around 6th and trophyless, the spin starts again
about next season, no Europe and all the progress that has
Then there's the manager who seizes the opportunity of
righting his mistakes, wins the EL for his club and doesn't
have to say anything.
Given that Andy Carroll & Stewart Downing (not good enough
to play in Rodgers teams) both scored goals today to propel
West f*cking Ham into the top 4. It really does make you wonder...

Five Reasons Why You Should Watch Star Wars Resistance
Star Wars Resistance unfortunately only got two seasons, running from 2018-2020. However it's still a show that I hold dear and love, and I think it's criminally underrated. Most people I know tend to be skeptical of Resistance when I tell them to watch it, fearing it's too "kiddy," but I think that it really doesn't get its due, and I have just a couple reasons here why I think you should give it a chance if you haven't already. Don't worry, I'll do my best not to spoil it for you.
From left to right: Bo Keevil, Freya Fenris, Torra Doza, Hype Fazon and Griff Halloran
Honestly, one of the things that I could rave about most with Resistance is its character design. From our main cast in Team Fireball, to the Ace Squdaron pilots and their droids, to the villains, to the pirates, every single character has such a fun, distinct and memorable design. Even ones that don't always get a lot of screentime. In my second article highlighting a few of my favorite droids, I mentioned Ace Squadron's droids, and how they easily match their owners and ships, and it's true. I think that conveying the personality and history of a character is a huge part of good character design, especially in an animated medium, and Resistance excels at that.
Jarek Yeager's Racer
And that doesn't just extend to the characters. I think that the ship design in Resistance is top-tier too. The racers that belong to Ace Squadron or any of the other characters are all dynamic and fun, and even the ships that aren't racers all have an interesting look to them. And the animation style itself just makes ship battles and races look so much more fun than I think they look in any other Star Wars.
Concept Art of Team Fireball (from left to right: Bucket, Kaz, Neeku, Tam and Yeager)
Diversity in media is something that's very important to me, and especially something I value in Star Wars. Resistance is a very diverse show, and provides representation to so many people that otherwise lack it, and that's something I always found very commendable about it. While there are of course plenty of alien characters, most of the human characters that they do have are people of color- in our leads of Team Fireball, Kaz is Asian, and Tam and Yeager are both Black. In addition, the Doza family (Torra, Immanuel and Venisa) are all Latino.
But the diversity doesn't just end on the screen. While there are a lot of animated characters (not necessarily in Star Wars) that are non-white but voiced by white actors, Resistance takes care to hire people of color behind the scenes too, which I think is wonderful. Resistance gives a great opportunity to various actors, allowing them to join the Star Wars universe while voicing characters that look like them, and giving representation to plenty of people who normally don't get to see themselves in media, especially not media as big as Star Wars.
Interesting Character Arcs
Synara San
Resistance really pulls no punches when it comes to creating interesting, well-rounded characters with depth and backgrounds, and letting us see them grow and change. It's hard to really go into detail about all of the amazing character arcs in Resistance without spoiling it, but there's quite a few characters that go through a variety of journeys through the show. Some characters, like Synara or Tam, go through the process of re-evaluating their ideals and beliefs, growing bonds with others and working through their mistakes. Other characters, like Kaz, have to grow more confident and adapt to a new life.
And there's other characters too, that may not go through as much of an arc as others, but still change. Through the show we get to delve into the backstories of plenty of different characters, and see them grapple with both their past and the prospect of a future. This is something that people don't always seem to see about Resistance at first blush, but I think the characters are really the strongest point that Resistance has in its favor, as it does them very well.
Sequel-Trilogy Era Lore
Captain Phasma and a First Order Stormtrooper
Regardless of your feelings on the films in the sequel trilogy, I think almost everyone agrees that it's a pretty interesting period in the timeline. And in my opinion, Resistance does a lot to help enrich our understanding of it. We get to learn a lot about the First Order- how they operate, how they've been growing in power, and what they do when they're not chasing down the Resistance like we see in the films. We also get to learn more about the Resistance and the New Republic, hearing about what they're doing and how they're working in the galaxy.
Even beyond those main factions, we also get to see a bit more of smaller groups, like the pirates, or how the people living on the Colossus feel about the galaxy as a whole. We meet people who've been hurt by the First Order, and people who have been helped by the Resistance. I think that Star Wars Resistance does a lot to develop what the galaxy looks like in this era of the Star Wars timeline beyond the main conflict we see in the sequel trilogy movies.
Neeku Vozo
I really cannot explain how amazing Neeku is if you haven't seen Resistance. I just can't. All I can really say is that somehow, Lucasfilm has created the best character that has ever existed in anything ever, and everybody sleeps on him because Resistance is under-appreciated. But you will sleep no longer. You have to watch Star Wars Resistance and see Neeku in his full glory.
Neeku is just such a fun character who brings me joy, and I was always delighted to see him each week while Resistance was airing. Neeku is just amazing, and adorable, and fun- but also pretty informative about the Star Wars galaxy, and he has a lot of really sweet moments. If I haven't already convinced you to watch Resistance, then please- just do it for Neeku.

Are you looking forward to the winter season? When you were young, the arrival of the winter months meant holidays, time off school, and building snowmen. Not anymore! Now this time of year means staying warm, dealing with heavy traffic, and worrying about your furnace. Take one worry off your mind this year. How can you do it? Make sure you get your furnace ready for the months ahead. Some of this can be done by yourself and some of it requires the help of a professional heating contractor. Don't put it off any longer. For a furnace that runs effectively all season long, these are some of the most important things you need to do.
Let's start with what you can do on your own. The first and most important thing is changing your furnace filter. This should be done every 1-3 months depending on the type of filters you are using and your home environment. To keep your furnace working well, perform an inspection of your filter every month or so. This will give you the chance to see whether it needs to be changed or if it is free from contaminants. You can tell if the filter needs to be changed by the grey colour and any visible build up of dust and dirt. A helpful pre-winter tip? Sometimes you can get a better deal on filters if you buy them before the weather gets too cold. So, stock up if you get the chance.
Something else you can – and should – do on your own? Clear the area around your furnace. You don't want to store any items too close to the unit. Not only does this make it harder for the heating contractor to get a good look at your furnace but it also poses a threat to your overall safety. Speaking of heating contractors, your next step is to give one of them a call. Ideally, this should be done before the winter weather arrives. Wondering why you can't wait a little longer? You never want to turn on your furnace on a cold day to find that it doesn't work. That can cause you to be left feeling the chill.
Schedule a visit as soon as possible. You want to choose a heating and cooling company that can trust, like Heating Ontario. During the visit, you can expect one of our heating contractors to inspect your unit thoroughly. They will check that the furnace is ready for use. That means looking into both the safety and efficiency of your unit. This will reduce the risk of your furnace failing during the winter months. That in turn means an emergency repair is less likely in your future. In addition to inspecting your furnace, our heating contractor may change the filter if you haven't already, check for leaks, and make sure that every part of your furnace is ready to go. If there is a problem, you can trust us to find the best possible solution.
Don't let winter worries affect your life. Take a pro-active step by scheduling your annual furnace maintenance now. With the help of a Heating Ontario professional, your furnace will be winter ready in no time. Let us keep your home warm and toasty this season!

We have to rethink John Calipari ... again.
This NCAA Tournament continues to churn out classic games. The same can't be said for CBS/TBS's coverage.
By Curtis Kitchen Mar 29, 2014, 10:02am CDT
Share All sharing options for: We have to rethink John Calipari ... again.
Thomas J. Russo-USA TODAY Sports
The mind is still reeling after Friday night's ridiculous Sweet 16 games.
- The NCAA Tournament could have ended last night, and I think I would have been good with it in that "end on a high note" sense.
- The Virginia Cavaliers, Louisville Cardinals, Iowa State Cyclones and Tennessee Volunteers all are going home after all four games were decided by a total of 14 points.
- While each game involved frantic finishes and key plays, the games collectively really came down to one thing:
- Free throws, gents. Free throws.
- The winners shot 64-of-77 (.831). The losers were 40-of-69 (.580).
- And now, some pundits have to begrudgingly hit delete on their season narratives, instead typing things like
- "John Calipari once again proving youth can be served."
- And ...
- "John Calipari can coach."
- Forget seeds and whether Kentucky is the most under-seeded No. 8 of all time. At this point in the tourney, as a No. 8 or a No. 2, the Wildcats could have had the same resume, and it wouldn't be any less impressive.
- Cue up that "Bill Self v. John Calipari: Who ya got?" conversation that had taken a step back over the past year or so.
- It's one of the things I love most about this Championship: You can't fake it through two weekends. Every team left, including the Dayton Flyers of the world, is playing its best basketball of the season.
- Is it any coincidence that some of the year's best ball has been played after officials got out of the way -- I mean, flat left their whistles at home -- and have allowed the players to decide things?
- I could write 2000 words about the NCAA's abrupt change in officiating for this tournament compared to the season, especially in November and early December.
- I'll keep it to this: Why? What was the point of the "crackdown" if the year's biggest games weren't going to be held to the same (dumb) standards?
- The rules debate did at least lead to some really entertaining television on Friday.
- Doug Gottlieb is much better suited as a color analyst than an on-set debater.
- I think a couple of his points -- including Kentucky's Julius Randle going straight up -- might have been arguable, but he got so frustrated and undone that his delivery came across at times as rushed and babbling.
- And it let a sharky guy like Seth Davis sit back and laugh at him.
- On the CBS/TBS mashup: It probably sounded like a good idea in a meeting or looked okay on paper.
- The awkward, disjointed, not-funny hand-offs between studios -- especially between Ernie Johnson and Greg Gumbel ... These guys are pros. If they can't make it sound reasonable, there's a reason for it.
- Two crowded sets, including a Charles Barkley, perhaps.
- #toomanyvoices
- Maybe it's symbolic, but the overall feel between the two sets felt NBA and college worlds apart.
- Wonder why ...

The first thing to be said about the Cherubim and Seraphim Church Movement is that, it's beginning was done by adherents who tenaciously believe that Moses Orimolade founded the church and that they must stay loyal to his ideas and principles of worship.
The Cherubim and Seraphim history appropriately begins with Saint Moses Orimolade Tunolase and for years, the Organization became riddled with jealousies, disputes and breakaway characterised by splinter groups going their different way.
But, the urge to remain far away from controversies, disputes and the trivialities which hinders progress lead to the formation of the Movement church on November. 1927, when a group comprising of late Nathaniel E. Coker, S.A Adekoya, S.O. Kalejaiye, E.O Ajayi; D.A. Aina; C.A. Shofarasin and Joseph T. Agboola started worshipping at a residence belonging to one Mrs Adebiyi (known then as Mama Ondo) Ibadan Street, Kaduna. The church was increasing which lead to two groups, One faction moved to Jos road in Madam Aina's led by Mrs Adebiyi and the other by Pa. Adefowope who had a fairly large number of followers. The group lead by Pa. Adefowope worshipped in his house at plot C. 14 Kabba Road, while special Apostle Adegbite acted as the Leader in Charge.
In 1937, a proposal to choose leaders of the church Movement was received from Pa. Adefowope during a hill prayer and according three elders, J.T. Agboola; S.A. Adekoya and S.O. Kalejaiye were unanimously chosen and prayers were offered for them.
In 1940, by God's design, an Elder N.E Coker, an experienced coordinator became the first Baba Aladura of the Holy Order of Cherubim and Seraphim Church Movement. Pa Coker initiated the 40 days lent period. During this tenure, the Saturday Watchnight services was held fort-nightly.
In 1941, membership stood at about seventy (70) people and by June same year, plots were secured at H.H. 3 & 4, Katsina Road, Kaduna. In 1942, construction work began for the church building with mud-bricks. The roofing sheet was purchased from Ibadan by one Mr. Abiara, a carpenter employed from Ibadan. It was at the meeting held on the 11th November, 1941 that Kaduna was pronounced as the Headquarter of Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church of Northern Nigeria. The Conference discussed various issues affecting CSMC and also passed a motion authorizing the drafting of a constitution to guide the operation and administration of the church. At the Conference held on 22nd November, 1949, the fundamental principles among which are to pursue a Christian crusade in which the name of God will be glorified became the first principle. According to the constitution, the activities of the CSMC shall be confined to the Northern provinces of Nigeria. But it holds itself bound to make earnest efforts for the visible unity of several branch societies. The constitution further stated that Kaduna shall be the headquarters and the seat of the special Apostle who shall be the administrative head of the church.
The CSMC has her foundation established on six basic principles namely:
1) READING OF THE BIBLE
2) INTERPRETING THE WORD OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
3) HEALING BY THE WORD
4) PRAYING
5) REGULAR CHURCH ATTENDANCE
6) LOVE TO OUR NEIGHBOURS AND THE NATION.
Members of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church on transfer to Jos, Minna, Zaria, Kano and other towns in the North established branches there. Elder N.E. Coker became the first General Overseer (Baba Aladura) of the Holy Order of CSMC of Northern Nigeria.
With the civil strife of 1966, the Northern Conference as it was then known spread to the South-West. Consequently, branches were set up in Kwara, Lagos, Ibadan, Osogbo, Ogbomoso, Ile-Ife, Benin-City, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Asaba, warri and a host of other towns. The Church has improved the drive for membership and presently, for administration convenience, there are Districts across Nigeria and Oversees.
The CSMC has spread overseas – arriving London in 1965, USA in 1976, Italy in 1981 and the Western Germany in 1987.

THE ARRIVAL OF CHERUBIM AND SERAPHIM MOVEMENT CHURCH.


Richard Kew, the director of the Russian Ministry Network, and Roger White, the Episcopal Bishop of Milwaukee, chart the course that churches must take in order to achieve the goal of a strong, lively, and mission-centered church. The authors believe that the organizing principle of tomorrow's church must be the business of mission, witness, and evangelism. Each chapter ends with a point-by-point summary and questions for discussion. A list of ministry resources offers connections with others who are actively preparing for ministry in the twenty-first century.
Kew is the Co-ordinator of the Russian Ministry Network in the Episcopal Church of the USA.

Burkina Faso general takes over as Compaore resigns
Sunrise Ssonko
Burkina Faso's President Blaise Compaore has announced his resignation, according to BBC.
Mr Compaore issued a statement, saying the presidency was now vacant and urging elections within 90 days.
Military chief Gen Honore Traore said he had taken over as head of state.
On Thursday, protesters angry at Mr Compaore's attempt to amend the constitution set fire to parliament and government buildings.
Following the protests, Mr Compaore said he had agreed not to seek another term, but he would remain in power until a transitional government had completed its work in 2015.
However, the opposition continued to demand that he resign. Its leader, Zephirin Diabre, urged protesters to occupy public spaces.
There were cheers when an army spokesman told the crowd gathered in front of army headquarters on Friday that Mr Compaore had left office, AFP news agency reports.

What does it take to build a change platform?
If you had asked me this question a year ago, I would probably have said that I had no idea. And yet a year later, it seems that that is what we have done. On Friday we were absolutely delighted when Helen Bevan and team included #MatExp as one of the top change platforms in a global webinar.
I think a big part of my philosophy is not to try to 'bottle' something that is a bit magic – other than in this wonderful #MatExp bottle distilled by Jenny Clarke. 😉 People want to feel part of growing something themselves rather than just taking on a formula dreamt up by others, however successful it may be. It always felt like a let-down on Blue Peter when they said "Here's one I made earlier" and all the fun of discovery was removed.
Similarly, whilst it felt exciting to read a tweet the other day saying that our Whose Shoes? workshops should be 'mandatory training' for all, this goes directly against what I am desperate to achieve, which is to help people, users and healthcare professionals, devise and own their own solutions, working together as equals. It can never be a top-down approach.
The #MatExp journey has been and continues to be extraordinary. Starting as a planned 'very small pilot', it has combined the energy of vibrant workshops with the speed and connectivity of intensive social media.
I started using the #MatExp hashtag back in about September 2014 and registered it with Symplur as a way of monitoring its reach. I had previously done this with #dementiachallengers, so knew this would be be important.
I am somewhat blown away by the fact that #MatExp now has over 144 million Twitter impressions.
It has created a virtuous circle. People tweet photos of the workshops, make positive comments about the experience and take real action. As other people see this and pick up the energy, they too want to get involved; as more people get involved, the workshops get even better. In the jargon ( I am not a fan of jargon) we 'pull' people in rather than telling them what they should do.
Some of the slides that Helen Bevan included really struck a chord with me.
I absolutely love the idea of comparing building a change platform to running a bazaar. You cannot see anyone in charge but no doubt someone somewhere has thought to get it started in the first place … and then perhaps would be in a lot of trouble if they tried to stop it!
A bazaar is such a colourful, vibrant and slightly chaotic image – it describes #MatExp perfectly.
I tell the story of how my wonderful #MatExp 'partner in crime', Florence Wilcock first contacted me and describe the birth of #MatExp in a visual story here and in a blog here.
In partnership with fab can-do Kath Evans, NHS England, and the London Strategic Clinical Network, we initially ran five pilot workshops to bring 'users' and a wide range of health care professionals together as equals to test the new co-produced Whose Shoes? maternity scenarios and spark real conversations for positive change.
We ran round with a video camera at the workshop at Queens Hospital – an impromptu attempt to capture the energy of an event in progress!
We produced a toolkit to support the use of the board games – practical help with running future events.
We ensure that everyone has a voice – all perspectives are equally valued.
We were invited to be one of the supported NHS change day campaigns. They came to film us talking about #MatExp and what we are all trying to achieve.
We gave the team a few headaches as we wanted to include so many actions. We had a team of people – about 50/50 health care professionals and 'users' leading the different actions. These ranged from Skin to Skin and optimal cord clamping at the time of birth, to good practice around communication, supporting mums and families post-natally (including depression) and many other topics.
The most dramatic action was Florence's 'Lithotomy challenge'. This is currently causing a lot of interest – 700 'hits' on my blog yesterday either reading Florence's personal story or reading about the 'lithotomy challenge'. Not bad for 'old' blogs!
Helen Bevan and others from the Change Day team came to see what we were up to at Kingston Hospital on 11 march, NHS Change Day. They interviewed Florence while she was doing her lithotomy challenge. I ran a 'drop-in' Whose Shoes? session in the ante-natal clinic and appear on the film for five seconds at 7mins 30. Blink and you miss it – my Mum did!
People have come forward as leaders – particularly Mums keen to share their stories in a practical and constructive way to help the NHS make changes to improve the experience of women. There are some wonderful bloggers – take a look at the #MatExp hashtag and you will quickly pick up the main ones. We are finding ways of feeding these directly to the new Maternity Review Board.
The Mum-leaders have set up a website: matexp.org.uk. Again, you can find many of the best blogs here.
They have set up a Facebook group – it is a 'closed' group but you can apply to join – just post a comment on the blog or contact one of our fab 'Admin Mums' on Twitter: @heartmummy @leighakendall @ESasaruNHS @Ghostwritermumm.
We have just come to the end of #FlamingJune – an incredible month of action. We invited people to take real actions for positive change and have been totally overwhelmed by the response. Have a dip into this page to see some of the actions people have been taking. Visit the matexp.org.uk site to find out more – and most importantly to join in! #FlamingJune may have finished – but July, as you will have felt, is even hotter!
The Royal College of Midwives (Better Births) project came to Kingston hospital to make a film about the project.
Whose Shoes? is now being seen as a powerful and engaging approach to service improvement. It has been used by over 300 organisations (Local authorities, universities, care providers and more recently the NHS) in many settings over the last six years and now the maternity version is proving popular. Last week we had #MatExp #WhoseShoes sessions in Guernsey and at St Thomas's Hospital in London.
Click here for the visual story of the Guernsey workshop – including some photos of the beautiful island!
Everything about #MatExp is action-focused. JFDI is the name of the game – which occasionally gets us in trouble but far more often gets things DONE!
@WhoseShoes @SagefemmeSB @GEHNHSnews @helenbevan @LesleyPageRCM @JennytheM I get it now! Ha ha we should all JFDI!
All of the workshops conclude with people making pledges. This has led to a bit of healthy competition between hospitals. They use their wonderful graphic records, produced by Anna Geyer, New Possibilities, as an action plan and are devising different ways to follow up. I am hoping the formal results of the London pilot workshops will be available to share soon.
@CamellaMainMw @WhoseShoes @GSTTnhs @maryamidwife @GSTT_PDMs Such a good day and great to hear the pledges.
And new people joined Twitter – and will help grow the movement!
I am sure Sheena Byrom will be happy for me to add 'our book' to this #MatExp round-up – published in March and already going into a re-print. I am very honoured indeed to have contributed a chapter to this book, talking about the Whose Shoes? concept.
We are attracting interest and support from high places, including the RCM and the RCOG and the Maternity Review Board.
We have a lot of fun. Online friendships have become real friendships. Collaboration is strong. We encourage each other – and egg each other on. We are impatient for change.
I am not sure how the whole #Matexp change platform can really be evaluated. I think the NHS London Strategic Clinical Network are evaluating the project that they originally commissioned. I think the NHS Change Day people are evaluating the impact of the change day campaigns but hopefully can include the whole project in some way. We will find out more shortly, I think. I find it impossible to separate out different elements – and I think this is the nature of a change platform. I am really hoping that someone can get their head around the whole totality and evaluate accordingly.
Oh and I think I may have graduated from the School for Health Care Radicals last week, in which case I am very honoured. I didn't get round to buying my gown and high heel shoes in time and unfortunately missed it when I was away at my first maternity conference. It was a JFDI conference pulled together from nowhere by Jane Pollock, @midwife_jane, a fantastic midwife.
And again some of the Twitter friendships became real life friendships.
I hope you are inspired to join #MatExp – or to build your own change platform. Post a comment to encourage us – and there are plenty of people here ready to encourage you too!

Can't believe I'm the first to comment! Probably aren't. But what a blog?! The energy powers through from the screen. This is totally brilliant Gill – inspirational or what. Well done. And tell me, does JFDI mean what I think it does :)?

I started with Dreamweaver way back when. It was so complicated I had to buy tutorial courses just to learn how to do very basic tasks. The complete web page flexibility was nice, but seriously, I had to watch another video to figure out how to do something.
Frustration pushed me to search around for an easier web design program. My search ended in 2009 with Weebly. Weebly was in it's infancy and had a few bugs to work out, but I was hooked because it was an online program (no longer tied to one computer) and drag and drop ease of use (very short learning curve). It's been a rock solid platform for years now and still a joy to work with. Apparently I'm not the only one who appreciates Weebly's simplicity.

KME Precision Knife Sharpener System
Why it's our top pick?
Got a dull blade? If your blades are in need of some sharpening for the next hunt, we have our top suggested option here for your convenience.
We chose the KME Precision Knife Sharpener System due to the unrivalled choice it gives hunters in sharpening blades.
See what we mean in more detail below:
Uses four Gold Series diamond hones at four grits to deliver as coarse or fine a sharpening as you want, all maintained at stable angles by a spherical bearing rod.
Unmatched adjustability with angles at 17 and 30 degrees, and the ability to work at every angle in between at one-degree increments.
Provides comfort and protection for your blade with neoprene-linked clamps to avoid scratching and a foam-lined hard carry case for protected transportation.
Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener
Chef's Choice Trizor XV EdgeSelect Electric Knife Sharpener
Sharp Pebble Premium Whetstone
Spyderco Tri-Angle Premium Sharpmaker
The first suggested product in our list is the KME Precision Knife Sharpener System, which retails with four Gold Series diamond hones to get your knives to the best edges possible, each with a different grit for varying degrees of coarseness or fineness to suit your preferences.
Speaking of preferences, it also has adjustable angles from 17 to 30 degrees, being adjustable at one-degree increments for that namesake precision sharpening. The chosen angle will never deviate thanks to the system's spherical bearing rod which keeps the angle in line.
Another stability feature is the neoprene-lined clamp which protects your blades against any scratching or marring that may otherwise occur during use and includes depths lines, so you know how to reposition your blade for touch-ups.
The entire system is portable thanks to its mounted base and it's in good hands when being transported since it comes with a hard carry case that's foam-lined on the interior.
Check out reviews on Amazon
Four Gold Series diamond hones at 140, 300, 600, and 1,500 grit
Adjustable angles at 17 and 30 degrees, and every degree in between
Spherical bearing rod ensures zero angle deviation
Neoprene-lined clamp protects against any marring on your blade during use
Able to be transported in a hard carry case, protected whilst portable
Very expensive, most expensive product on this list
The second option in this list will be many people's first, it's the Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener is definitely the option to go for if you want the most portable sharpener in the list.
It's not number one on this list for its lack of moving parts, but that fact and the general affordability of this product will be huge pros for a lot of you out there.
The fact this sharpener is portable makes it ideal for other uses, such as sharpening broadheads, and that versatility is reflected in the fact that this is Amazon's #1 best seller in hunting knife sharpeners.
The sharpener uses a combination of diamond plates and ceramic honing rods to sharpen every inch of your blades in a speedy but consistent manner.
The diamond plate guides are laid at a 20-degree angle for sharpening, whereas the ceramic rods have a 25-degree angle guide and can be used to hone micro-bevels, or sharpen grooved fish hooks, and a secondary rod can also be used to sharpen serrations.
Since it's a portable sharpener, it's very compact and durable enough to brave most conditions you'll want to find yourself camping in. There's also no assembly required, making this a hassle-free option too for those of you who prefer the simpler things.
A #1 Amazon bestselling portable sharpener designed for camping use
Diamond plates and ceramic honing rod delivers fast and consistent sharpening for knives and other camping tools
20-degree angle for sharpening with the diamond plate and 25-degree angle for honing
Compact and durable to survive in the wild, and no assembly required
Very affordable, cheapest product in the list
The fine sharpening plate is still too coarse to some's likings
At the midpoint in this list is something a little different with the Chef's Choice Trizor XV EdgeSelect Electric Knife Sharpener. This genius little system can not only sharpen knives but can convert the standard 20-degree knife edges into razor-sharp Trizor XV 15-degree edges for better carving performance.
It sharpens using abrasive made from 100% diamond that can be used for straight and serrated edges, and it works in three stages as per its Edge Select system. This works by sharpening and honing the blades with the abrasives, before polishing them to add to their lifespan.
It's an incredibly convenient product, sharpening in record time at only one minute for a full sharpening and just ten seconds for re-sharpening a used blade. That re-sharpening is also easier since it's electric, and so is operated by a simple on/off switch.
This means that not even elbow grease is really needed in order to get the perfect edge. The fact it's electric not only means it's more expensive but makes it not as portable as other kinds of sharpener, so we think this is best used at base before venturing out on your hunt.
Can convert 20-degree factory edges into razor-sharp Trizor XV 15-degree edges
100% diamond abrasives for straight edge and serrated sharpening
Three-stage EdgeSelect sharpening system sharpens, hones, and polishes the blade to prolong their lifespan
Very fast to use, sharpening in one minute and re-sharpening in just ten seconds
As easy as sharpeners can be with a simple on/off switch
Isn't very portable since it's an electric sharpener, requires power
One of the pricier products on the list
Coming in at four is a simple product that can sharpen any blade, whether that be hunting, chef, scissor, or axe. It's the Sharp Pebble Premium Whetstone, an affordable and no-frills sharpening kit that comes well-reviewed by its many patrons, enough to be ranked as an Amazon's Choice product for sharpening stones.
The stone itself is two sided, with one side being 1000-grit for sharpening and the other being 6000-grit for more delicate honing, though we should caution that this isn't the best option for if your blade is very complicated, e.g. with lots of hooks or serrations.
It's a simple enough product to use since it requires no expensive honing oils or any other special care, just add water. The non-slip bamboo base looks good but gives the sharpener a domestic aesthetic to it that we think makes this product look better at home than out in the field with you, but despite that it's durable enough that it can be brought out with you as long as you can find somewhere to set it down.
What we've failed to mention is that this product is actually a bundle, and with it you not only get the stone but also some literature to read which will help you get to grips with this product and outline specific techniques for different blade types.
Amazon's Choice sharpening stone that can be used for any knife or bladed implement
1000-grit side for sharpening and a 6000-grit side for honing means it can deliver a fine edge to your hunting knife
Little preparation or maintenance needed. No need for expensive honing oils, only water
Quality non-slip bamboo base that looks great and is durable enough to be taken with you into the wild
Bundle includes literature to help you get to grips with this product
Not as practical for complicated knife edges
Has a domestic, woodgrain look to it
At number five is a tri-angle option in the form of the Spyderco Tri-Angle Premium Sharpmaker, for those who want even more versatility out of their sharpeners.
The action in this sharpener happens at two ceramic sharpening stones which are as versatile as stones can be, being able to sharpen knives, darts, and fishhooks thanks to its 30 and 40-degree angles.
For how versatile it is, sharpening can be as easy as you like it to be since it doesn't require lubricant, oil or even water, but can be used with them if you have preferences.
The ABS plastic case that this product comes in also functions as a base for the sharpening itself, and that case is good enough that it can be used to take the Sharpmaker with you for use on the trail.
Other accessories the Sharpmaker comes with includes an instructional book and DVD, which is handy for beginners but may be unnecessary for those who know what they're doing.
The fact this is a bundled product also undoubtedly contributes to the fact that this is a pricey product, one of the priciest in the list, making this a purchase you need to justify if you have a specific sharpening use in mind that this product fulfils.
Two ceramic sharpening stones can sharpen knives, punches, darts, and fishhooks at multiple angles
Can be used with or without lubricant, oil or water. Easy to use and maintain
ABS plastic base is also used as a storage case, making the Sharpmaker portable
Comes with instructional DVD and book
One of the pricier products
Can leave unattractive striations on your blades
What makes the best sharpener for hunting knives?
A good hunting knife sharpener is easy to use, doesn't present a risk of damaging your blade, and can preferably be transported for use outdoors so you can rely on it more than you can with domestic sharpeners.
Sharpening and Honing Plates and Rods
The sharpening in both manual and electric sharpeners use abrasive plates, with manuals having more adjustability in that you can have several plates and rods with differing degrees of coarseness and fineness. These are measured in grit, which is a measurement of the coarseness of the stones, plates, or rods used.
As a general rule, less than 1000 grit is best for knife repairing, up to 3000 is best for knife sharpening, and up to 8000 grit is very fine and best suited to refining knife edges. Most sharpeners retail with multiple grit levels, and if not they're available as periphery purchases.
Even the waterstone at number four is double-sided for sharpening and honing purposes.
Sharpener Angle Guides
Manual knife sharpeners have angle guides because it's tricky to maintain the correct knife angle to get the best edge. This adds difficulty to manual sharpeners as you need some experience with them in order to better hand sharpen them.
The best angle guides are adjustable ones that'll allow you to change the sharpening angle depending on the knife you have.
The portability of sharpeners is something to look for in hunting knife sharpeners if you want a model you can take with you. This is as simple as seeing if the product comes in or with carry bags, or even better a hard case so that the sharpener and any of its smaller instruments can be safe in transport.
Manual V Electric Hunting Knife Sharpeners
The list above includes an electric knife sharpener, so we think it'll be valuable to hash out the differences between manual and electric knife sharpeners. There's no concrete answer for which is the best one, especially as there are a lot of different brands within each type of sharpener that boast their own features and have their own shortcomings.
Manual knife sharpeners are the preferred method of use for many outdoorsmen. This is because there's a sentiment that electric knife sharpeners can't be as sensitive with the blade as electric knives, which are seen as being too aggressive, and so manuals make it easier to control the pressure and speed of your sharpening.
Depending on the kit you get, manuals tend to be less expensive, and they're also more portable and require less space.
Electric knife sharpeners don't tend to be as portable since they're bulkier and require more storage space. However, electric knife sharpeners are very easy to use since you just need to prepare the sharpener, insert the knife and press a button.
This takes a fraction of the time and energy that manuals would need. Electric knife sharpeners are made to be as compatible with as many knife types as possible, with not just Western but Eastern knife styles too. Sharpening is done on a setting basis, which means that it's very precise to the degree of sharpness needed.
To what degree should a hunting knife be sharpened?
Hey, it's your knife, you can do what you want with it. That said, there are guidelines for selecting which bevel to give your knife. Lower angles may be sharper but make the edge less durable, and so there needs to be balance if you want a hunting knife that can cut hide without breaking, but be sharp enough to cut the meat beneath too.
Hunting and survival knives are therefore recommended at a 25 to 30-degree angle.
Do electric sharpeners ruin knives?
Not really, this is hyperbole used by those who think that electric sharpeners are unreliable and go against the spirit of knife maintenance. That isn't to say they don't have legitimate concerns over electric sharpeners, however, with electric sharpeners being made to cover a wide variety of knives and so naturally tending towards cheaper knife maintenance.
This means that if you have a very upmarket knife made from super steel, which has above-average hardness, an electric sharpener can be too rough with it, to the point of causing damage.
These are things you need to consider when making your decision. We concur that it's better to learn sharpening by hand so that you can be as self-reliant a hunter as possible, but for those who need a convenient and fast way to sharpen their mid-range knives an electric knife is a very useful appliance.
Can you sharpen a knife with sandpaper?
You can use sandpaper to sharpen knives if they're of the same grit. However, this brings up the complication that manual knife sharpeners have, only tenfold, and that is the question of whether you can strike the knife at the exact same angle repeatedly until you get the intended result, that result being a knife sharp enough to carve through the hides of sinew of hunted game.
We're assuming that since you're here you may not be well-versed enough at sharpening to be able to achieve this level of sharpness, but if you are then sandpaper is a viable and relatively inexpensive option. There are a few other inexpensive methods of sharpening knives, with some even using the coarse bottoms of plates or coffee mugs to get the job done.

A muthia is a Gujarati dish where the dough is shaped by gripping it. Serve this vegan dish steamed or fried, as a side dish or as gravy and it's yum.
Muthia is Indian food stuff, Gujarati as we like to be region and cuisine specific.
Muth in Hindi and Marathi means' fist' so muthia means fist or rather fisted. The muthia is made from dough that has been gripped.
It is known as 'vaataa' in Charotar area located in Central Gujarat.
Other varieties are made by using coarse flour of wheat and leafy vegetables such as amaranth, spinach, or grated bottle gourd.
After steaming, they are tempered with sesame seeds and mustard seeds. I did not as they just disappeared. Serve with Green Chutney.
A muthia is a Gujarati dish where the dough is shaped by gripping it. Serve this vegan dish steamed or fried, as a side dish or as gravy and it is yum.
Rub all the methi with garlic, green chilli, salt, haldi, red chilli powder sugar (if using), and lemon juice say for about 5 minutes.
Add the flours and mix well using water as needed. Knead to a stiff but pliable dough.
Grease your hand with little oil.
Make small balls of the dough and press them into your hands and make small cylinder shaped with pointed edges.
You will get about 8-10 small muthias.
Now you can either deep fry them or steam them.
You can either deep fry or shallow fry them in medium hot oil till they are crispy and golden brown.
Remove it to a paper towel-lined plate.
To steam them you can use a steamer or like me use a pressure cooker and a steel colander.
Apply a little oil to the base of the colander and arrange the muthias in it. Steam without the vent/weight for 20 minutes.
Yummy looking muthiyas Archana. Fresh Methi adds so much flavor.

In 2018, the UAB Comprehensive Transplant Institute celebrated the 50th anniversary of Alabama's first organ transplant. Take a stroll down memory lane with this video retrospective.
Newborn Wryn Graydon was diagnosed with congenital nephrotic syndrome and required a kidney transplant at age two. 62-year-old Carol Graydon — or GiGi as she is affectionately called — donated a kidney at UAB to save her granddaughter's life. Carol says she hopes when people see their family's story it will encourage someone to become a living donor to others in need.
After struggling with type 1 diabetes since childhood, Jan Jones was cured with a combined kidney/pancreas transplant at UAB.
Complications from type 1 diabetes caused Jan Jones to go into total renal failure. Today, with not only a new kidney, but also a new pancreas, Jan is cured of diabetes, and is thriving, following her combined organ transplant at UAB.
From transplant lab worker to donor, Birmingham man becomes part of UAB's world-record kidney chain.
Jan Duke is on a mission to help inspire other transplant patients, following her own life saving liver transplant at UAB.
Jan Duke got the call of a lifetime when word came that the liver needed to save her life was available. A few hours later, a dedicated team of transplant experts at UAB Hospital began the successful surgery to save Duke's life. Watch her story and hear from the man who led the transplant team, Dr. Derek Dubay.
Debbie Shearer's donation of a single kidney at UAB meant life for many others awaiting a transplant.
Debbie Shearer's son, George, lost his life in a car accident. Her son's final act was to try to give life to others through donation of his organs.
As a result of the accident, George's organs were unable to be donated. However, that single act set in motion a series of events that even the most altruistic of souls could have never seen coming.
Taking inspiration from her son, Debbie decided to become a living donor and give one of her kidneys to someone in need in honor of George. Her decision brought her to UAB in Birmingham and the transplant specialists at the UAB Kidney and Pancreas Transplant Clinic.
Debbie's decision to donate started a donation chain. This happens when donors are willing to donate, but do not have a paired recipient. The donors and recipients are matched together, thus creating the donation chain. As a result, Debbie's donation of a single kidney meant life for many others awaiting a transplant.
Debbie's donation resulted in what is known as a "Living Donor" transplant, where a donor gives up one of their two kidneys for someone in need. Living donors are carefully screened and only the healthiest donors are allowed to donate an organ.
