Every year Mary Meeker provides a presentation on internet trends. It's a report that many in Silicon Valley look to to see how the technology landscape is evolving. It's a monster report – 294 slides in all – but there's plenty of information to explore with implications to the world of technology-based training and education.
The use of words is a core element of many elearning programs. While most designers focus on what the words actual say, it's very easy to lose some of the meaning of the words if what the words look like is distracting. This post goes over a few quick tips on how to use fonts that can make huge differences in your elearning design.
Augmented reality is fast emerging as a viable new way of simultaneously interacting with digital information and the physical world. There are exciting opportunities to leverage AR in training and development. However, in order to harness the potential of AR, it's important that learning and development professionals look beyond traditional training and education paradigms when considering what is possible. This post is a great list of examples. I encourage you to look at the non-training options to see the broader array of use cases for AR.
Story is an essential part of communication, which is why it is also an essential component of many learning and development programs. But what makes a great story? This post has some great answers to that question, framed within the context of marketing, which actually uses storytelling in a very similar way to L&D.
When most people think of virtual reality, they likely think of an individual experience, even an isolating one since you're literally blocking out the physical world during the experience. But VR also has tremendous potential as a social experience, as this post explores. The primary point of this post is to explore Oculus Venues, a VR experience where you can attend a live concert with other people, all in VR. It's a fascinating exploration on its own, but I also share it for the look into the design of Venues itself, and for the commentary around managing social presence in VR.
One of my favorite quotes from George Carlin is about language. "We do think in language, and so the quality of our thoughts and ideas can only be as good as the quality of our language". It's a concept that has stuck with me since I first heard it, and something I've only increased my belief in over time. This TED Talk capitalizes on actual research into the idea and shares some great examples of how languages used by different people at different times actually shaped the way they think.
facebook recently released the Oculus Go, the first standalone VR headset for consumer use. This watershed moment will help propel the usage of virtual reality – including the usage of VR for training and learning – even further.
We're excited to explore this new technology at Realities360 and will be hosting a testing station in our Technology Showcase where you can try this amazing technology for yourself.
We've also secured two of these devices to be raffled off to Realities360 attendees! To be eligible to win, you just need to be registered for the conference by Friday, June 8. To gain an additional entry into the conference, follow @realities360 on Twitter and tweet about why you're excited to #GoToRealities360 using the hashtag.

CTA Statement on Desecration of War-Terry Fox Monuments at Ottawa Protest
Saturday January 29, 2022 | Announcements, News Releases
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the National War Memorial are sacred sites for Canadians. The desecration of these sites was a disgusting act and is a dishonour to those soldiers who have given their lives for our country and those Canadian soldiers who continue to fight for our freedom today.
Terry Fox is a national hero. The defacing of the Terry Fox monument is another disgusting act to the memory of one of the greatest Canadians in our history.
The Canadian Trucking Alliance condemns these acts in the strongest possible terms.
The Canadian Trucking Alliance will be donating to both the Terry Fox Foundation and Soldier on Fund.
Background of Funds

Морос, Mорус (, «погибель», «возмездие») — в греческой мифологии является существом надвигающейся гибели, которое подводит смертных к их смертельной судьбе.

Семья
Морос является потомком богини Нюкты (воплощение ночи), которая зачала его без вмешательства мужчины. Так же его считали братом Мойр — богинь судьбы, которые контролировали поколения. Кроме того, родственниками Мороса были Танатос и Керы, которые представляли собой физическое воплощение смерти (Керы причиняли насильственную смерть и смертельную болезнь, а Танатос олицетворял мирную смерть.

В альтернативных версиях он имел отца Эреба.

Lance Stephenson, Lincoln High School, Maryland, Rice High School, St. John's
Lance Announcement to Appear on SNY; 'Born Ready' on MTV
Lance Stephenson is expected to name Kansas as his college destination when he makes his announcement Tuesday at the McDonald's All-American Game in Miami.
"My guess is Kansas based on his cancelling of the [college] announcement at [Madison Square] Garden and the fact that he wants to be able to have a chance to win a national championship," a source close to the Stephenson family said.
Brooklyn Sal of SNY will be in Miami to conduct an exclusive one-on-one interview with Stephenson after his announcement.
McDonald's officials say the announcement will come Tuesday morning at 11:45 during its media day. The dunk contest, 3-point contest and skills competition will take place Monday (7 p.m., ESPN2) and the game itself is on Wednesday (8 p.m., ESPN). Brooklyn Sal's interview will air on SNY's "Daily News Live" and "Geico SportsNite" if he announces Tuesday.
Stephenson was the only McDonald's All-American not on hand for Sunday's first practice in Miami. The other 23 players are reportedly there. Stephenson will room with North Carolina-bound guard Dexter Strickland of St. Patrick of Elizabeth (N.J.)
The 6-foot-5 Stephenson, a senior guard at Brooklyn Lincoln who is New York State's all-time leading scorer, is the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2009, according to the Hoop Scoop and No. 9 by Rivals. He recently said he had already made his decision and had chosen from among Kansas, Maryland and St. John's.
Because he did not make his announcement after Lincoln won its fourth straight PSAL title March 21 at the Garden, he is not expected to announce for St. John's.
"The fact that he cancelled the thing at the Garden leads me to believe it's not St. John's," the source said.
Stephenson has said he wants a chance to win a national championship and he and his family have developed a close relationship with Kansas assistant Danny Manning, a former No. 1 draft pick.
"Danny Manning, I look up to him a lot," Stephenson said. "He's a great player and a great assistant coach so I think he's good."
Stephenson scored 14 points in his final high school game Saturday, a 77-50 loss to Rice in the New York State Federation AA semifinals.
Behind 23 points from Miami-bound guard Durand Scott (pictured with Rice coach Moe Hicks), Rice went on to beat Newburgh Free Academy 70-68 Sunday to capture the State Federation Class AA championship at the Civic Center.
Maryland coach Gary Williams was on hand for the Lincoln-Rice game to watch Stephenson and Maryland-bound forward James Padgett.
"I was surprised to see him," Stephenson told the New York Post.

Operators are welcoming the new assessment system introduced by Qualmark. Read about their experiences here.
Family-owned business Buller Canyon Jet is giving its already happy customers an even better experience thanks to Qualmark.
Encouraged by the Nelson Tasman Regional Tourism Organisation to give Qualmark a go, he confesses he was a bit nervous when the Tourism Business Advisor was due to visit but he needn't have worried. "The experience was fantastic. The advisor just said: 'Do what you do and let me observe you operating,' so that's what we did.
"The assessment was hugely valuable to our business and the experience was fantastic. The advisor was really important because he had great knowledge and experience of working in the tourism business and gave us some insights. He was professional but friendly and made the whole experience worthwhile. We loved it. It was low-key but easily accessible and professional.
"The advisor also talked about the possibility of helping us with some business mentoring which is a really exciting possibility for us.
From the Qualmark advisor's view, the Buller Canyon Jet product far exceeded expectations, producing the comment that the company has been underselling what they are doing in a beautiful part of New Zealand. "It is providing a spectacular true Kiwi experience in an outstanding environment".
The advisor notes that the company is welcoming and strong on storytelling, using locals as jet boat drivers. Vanessa's family heritage harking back to the early gold miners adds another level of interest and intrigue to the experience on offer.
Mark Hales went from being the caretaker to manager of the Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park. From day one he knew the importance of sustainability.
Mark has a long association with Qualmark and under the revised criteria recently gained a Gold Sustainable Tourism Business award, an achievement that is very difficult for a property to achieve. The Tauranga City Council-owned holiday park he manages is also the only one in New Zealand to receive a platinum award with the Instep program which monitors and manages a company's carbon emission profile.
For someone who has long been committed to improved sustainability, Mark says Qualmark's revised criteria are more relevant and useful to his business. He also believes it is increasingly important for the whole of the New Zealand tourism industry.
He says that in the past international visitors have been much more advanced in terms of sustainability than New Zealanders. "They notice; they see our certificates on the wall and comment on them and the practices that we have in place." He says more New Zealanders are now taking notice and attitudes are changing, with parents often encouraged by their children who are learning more about sustainability at school.
Operating a worm farm which also take scraps from a nearby café and moving his recycling bin enclosure to a position where the big collection trucks don't even enter the park are just two examples of how he is improving the park.
Mark's relationship with the local community and his strong relationship with local iwi are also critical. Sitting at the base of Mt Maunganui-Mauao has important cultural significance and Mark is respectful of the culture and history. If any earthworks or digging of any kind is planned, there is an iwi monitor in place to keep an eye on things. "It's just about keeping people informed about what you want to do and talking things through," he says.
The park generates power via solar panels and an arborist regularly checks the towering Norfolk Pines that overlook the park. "There is always something more we can do and the Qualmark assessments are a good way to check what is happening and what's new, and ask what more we can be doing," says Mark.
When you are busy running a business, it can be easy to miss some obvious selling points, says Jamie Looner, owner-operator of Taupo's Barbary Scenic Charters.
The company received a Silver Sustainable Tourism Business award under the new Qualmark assessment system and while Jamie misses having a separate Enviro Award badge, he totally understands and agrees that a focus on sustainability should be part and parcel of all businesses.
As a marine related business operating on Lake Taupo, Barbary Scenic Charters is covered by Maritime rules and regulations but Megan says it was "super handy" to have Qualmark work through some health and safety aspects of the business that sit outside the maritime requirements.
If you want to know more about becoming accredited, contact Qualmark to speak to one of the team.

Miracles and Supernatural Religion
by James Morris Whiton
Religion > Theology
n a historical retrospect greater and more revolutionary changes are seen to have occurred during the nineteenth century than in any century preceding. In these changes no department of thought and activity has failed to share, and theological thought has been quite as much affected as scientific or ethical. Especially remarkable is the changed front of Christian theologians toward miracles, their distinctly lowered estimate of the significance of miracle, their antipodal reverse of the long established treatment of miracles. Referring to this a British evangelical writer observes that "the intelligent believer of our own day, ... instead of accepting Christianity on the ground of the miracles, accepts it in spite of the miracles. Whether he admits these miracles, or rejects them, his attitude toward them is toward difficulties, not helps."
By this diametrical change of Christian thought a great amount of scepticism has already been antiquated. A once famous anti-Christian book, Supernatural Religion, regarded as formidable thirty years ago, is now as much out of date for relevancy to present theological conditions as is the old smooth-bore cannon for naval warfare. That many, indeed, are still unaware of the change that has been experienced by the leaders of Christian thought, no one acquainted with current discussions will deny; the fact is indubitable. It is reviewed in the following pages with the constructive purpose of redeeming the idea of supernatural Religion from pernicious perversion, and of exhibiting it in its true spiritual significance. The once highly reputed calculations made to show how the earth's diurnal revolution could be imperceptibly stopped for Joshua's convenience, and the contention that the Mediterranean produced fish with gullets capable of giving passage to Jonah, are now as dead as the chemical controversy about phlogiston. Yet some sceptical controversialists are still so far from cultivating the acquaintance with recent thought which they recommend to Christian theologians, as to persist in affirmations of amazing ignorance, e.g. "It is admitted that miracles alone can attest the reality of divine revelation." Sponsors for this statement must now be sought among unlearned Christians, or among a few scholars who survive as cultivators of the old-fashioned argument from the "evidences." Even among these latter the tendency to minimize miracle is undeniably apparent in a reduction of the list classified as such, and still more in the brevity of the list insisted on for the attestation of Christianity.
A transitional state of mind is clearly evidenced by the present division and perplexity of Christian thought concerning the Christian miracles. Many seem to regard further discussion as profitless, and are ready to shelve the subject. But this attitude of weariness is also transitional. There must be some thoroughfare to firm ground and clear vision. It must be found in agreement, first of all, on the real meaning of a term so variously and vaguely used as miracle....


Introduction: The prevalence of morbid obesity is increasing rapidly in the United States. Obese parturients have more anesthetic complications and increased maternal mortality and morbidity following cesarean delivery. We describe a super obese (SO) patient successfully undergoing cesarean delivery, via a supraumbilical vertical incision, under spinal anesthesia.
Case report: A 32 year old female at 38 weeks gestational age presented for repeat cesarean delivery. An epidural had been placed two days earlier at an outside institution for planned cesarean delivery. When the epidural was dosed, incomplete anesthesia was noted and the decision was made to remove the epidural catheter, postpone delivery and transfer her to our tertiary care center. The patient was 61 inches tall and weighed 180 kg (BMI 74.8). She had severe uncontrolled asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, and lower abdominal cellulitis. She had bilateral expiratory wheezing and a Mallampati class 3 airway. Combined spinal epidural (CSE) anesthesia was planned due to her history of inadequate sensory block with epidural anesthesia and to avoid a general anesthetic in the event of a prolonged operation. Attempts to visualize the epidural space using ultrasound were unsuccessful. A 17 gauge 13 cm epidural needle was placed at the L 3-4 intervertebral space using a loss of resistance technique, and a 16 cm 25 gauge spinal needle was advanced through the epidural needle. 1.8 ml (13.5 mg) of 0.75% isobaric bupivicaine with 10 mcg of fentanyl and 150 mcg of preservative free morphine was injected intrathecally. After several attempts the epidural catheter could not be placed. A T-6 level was obtained and cesarean delivery was accomplished through a supraumbilical vertical incision, due to the patient�s cellulitis. The patient was comfortable during the procedure. Postoperatively, she was transferred to the intensive care unit for close monitoring of her respiratory status.
Discussion: SO parturients commonly have multiple comorbidities, require extra personnel and special equipment for positioning and transport, frequently require intensive care unit admission postoperatively and are best cared for in tertiary care centers. Ultrasound may not be a clinically useful tool for epidural placement in SO patients due to the increased depth of the epidural space. Spinal anesthesia or CSE anesthesia may be preferred techniques for scheduled cesarean delivery in SO patients due to higher failure rates of epidural catheters. Due to the possibility of unpredictable or exaggerated blocks, it has been suggested that a reduced intrathecal dose be administered with CSE anesthesia in obese patients. This case suggests that SO patients may be prone to difficult epidural catheter placement and incomplete epidural block. Therefore, intrathecal dose reductions may increase the risk of conversion to general anesthesia, putting patients at risk for failed intubation and aspiration.


The next memorial currently being planned for Veteran's Memorial Park will be different from any other featured on its grounds. While other memorials represent the country's bygone battles, this one will stand for a conflict still ongoing. While the others honor those who have fallen, this one will also look to the future, waiting to honor those who will fall in the days to come.
The Global War on Terror Memorial is an ambitious project. Both logistically and symbolically.
And, perhaps most notably, the memorial will feature an eerie relic of history.
"Folks, when they come to the memorial, will actually be able to touch a piece of the World Trade Center that came down on 9/11," explained Paul Entrekin, a member of the Veterans Memorial Park Foundation Board.
Just recently, the park board received word the request for a piece of debris from the World Trade Centers had been granted.
"I don't think that there's anything like it in our close geographical proximity," Entrekin said.
The piece will be located nearby a large sculpture dedicated to the Global War on Terror.
"It's going to be a super, super interesting piece," said artist Randy New, who is sculpting the memorial.
The work will nod to the carnage wreaked by terrorism, as well as America's efforts to combat it. New— who has two other works featured at the park — and Entrekin have been brainstorming the concept.
The piece will be lit by a beam of light cast skyward.
"Sort of like they had in New York City, not near as intense, but we kind of copied that concept," Entrekin said, referencing the temporary WTC memorial on the site of the original buildings.
In its entirety, the memorial will be roughly 22-feet high. It will take about a year to create. Below is a rendering. Click here to view the entire proposal.
"With any luck, we'll have everything ready for a dedication next Memorial Day," said Entrekin.
"I hope it's going to be less than $200,000 for the whole thing," Entrekin estimated.
Unlike the other war memorials at the park, this new installment will represent an open-ended, ongoing conflict. Its boundaries are blurred, its edges not nearly as defined as past conflicts.
Even its start date is questionable — Entrekin offers Beirut as a pre-modern-era example — but the park has chosen to allow 9/11 to stand as representative.
"Most of us would consider that to be the start of the Global War on Terror," Entrekin said.
And if a start date is difficult to grasp, any end point to such a conflict is even more elusive.
To that end, this memorial will stand distinct from the others at the park in another way. Along with the World Trade Center relic and the sculpture, the new memorial will also feature a number of plaques — the plaques will honor those lost in locales such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and afford space for those lives still to be lost on fronts yet to be known.
Throughout May, the Veterans Memorial Park Foundation is sharing a series of stories dealing with service and sacrifice.

NWRA Urges Congress to Swiftly Pass the SUPPORT Act During Opioid and Heroin Epidemic Awareness Week
Arlington, VA – The National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) commends President Trump for his declaration of Prescription Opioid and Heroin Epidemic Awareness Week. NWRA also applauds the Senate for yesterday's 99 to 1 vote to pass the Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act that takes aim at this nationwide crisis. The Association urges Congress to complete action on the legislation as quickly as possible and send it to the president for his signature.
"The SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act would provide powerful tools to federal agencies in the fight against the opioid crisis. NWRA supports congressional efforts such as this to crack down on the supply and demand of opioids while increasing treatment options for those addicted," said NWRA President and CEO Darrell Smith. "This declared public health emergency not only decreases the pool of employable individuals at a time when the waste and recycling industry is experiencing a shortage of workers and drivers but also impacts those working in the industry who have family members and loved ones suffering from this addiction."

So, as I posted this weekend... I got the Financial Aid Counselor job at the university. Hooray! I really like it so far. It is super busy... which is what I like about it because the days fly by... so far, anyway. And everyone is soooo nice... I couldn't say nicer things about everyone I've encountered. I have no one to thank but God for making this all work out. I had a tough decision to make; I prayed (along with my entire family--distant cousins and all!) and He led me to make the right decision. I couldn't be more thrilled! They also offered me more money than I thought I would be offered---which was definitely a plus! Now, if I can just make it until May 15th for my first paycheck (which will be for this week only)... so let's make that May 31st--and I will have a spectacular giveaway... I promise! Me and my bestie are already thinking hard about what fabulous thing(s) it could be... hints to come in the near future!
This past weekend was a whirlwind for me. I had friends (Emily & Derek) come into town for our mutual friend's wedding.
AHHH, I was mid laugh. and notice the brown hair--- I'll post before and after pics in a minute.
I made friends with this old guy.
He was passed out cold 10 minutes earlier.
I protected his beer from being stolen by some random dude.
A few pictures of the wedding below. Congrats to Tara and Jordan Ledford!
I can't believe I even went out in public like this.
I cannot wait until my stylist's foot is healed and I'm back to this again!!!

Александр Романов (род. 20 декабря 1990 года, Комрат, Комратский район, Молдавская ССР, СССР) — молдавский боец смешанных боевых искусств русского происхождения, выступающий под эгидой UFC в тяжёлой весовой категории.
Занимает 15 строчку официального рейтинга UFC в тяжелом весе

Карьера в смешанных единоборствах
Выступать в MMA начал с 2016 года. Начал карьеру в местном молдавском промоушене — Eagles FC, где провёл большую часть боёв до подписания в UFC и стал чемпионом.

Ultimate Fighting Championship
Дебют Александра Романова в UFC состоялся с третьей попытки. Изначально боец должен был встретиться с польским бойцом Марчином Тыбурой на UFC 251 в Абу-Даби, однако бой был отменён из-за инфицирования COVID-19 одного из членов команды Романова. Затем Романов должен быть встретиться с бразильцем Маркусом Рожериу Де Лима на UFC Fight Night 176, но за несколько часов до начала турнира бразилец оказался заражённым COVID-19.

12 сентября 2020 года провёл свой первый под под эгидой UFC в рамках турнира UFC Fight Night 177. 1-й раунд боя запомнился зрителям зрелищным амплитудным броском и двойными хаммерфистами в партере. В итоге схватка закончилась победой над Роке Мартинесом — во 2-м раунде Александр провёл удушающий приём, заставивший Роке сдаться.

7 ноября 2020 года Александр провёл свой второй бой под эгидой UFC против бразильского бойца Маркуса Рожериу Де Лима на UFC on ESPN 17. Бой закончился победой Александра — в 1-м раунде, редким удушающим приёмом через руку.

17 апреля 2021 года Романов встретился с Хуаном Эспино на турнире UFC on ESPN 22. Поединок был обоюдоострым, оба бойца ярко проявляли себя и в стойке и в борьбе. В третьем раунде боя Эспино нанес случайный удар в пах Романова, после которого Александр не смог продолжить поединок. Судьи поединка были вынуждены выявить победителя, оценивая поединок до его остановки. В конечном итоге Романов праздновал победу раздельным решением судей.

9 октября 2021 года Романов встретился с Джаредом Вандерой на турнире UFC Fight Night: Дерн vs. Родригес. Романов уверенно контролировал бой, провел несколько ярких бросков, и в конце второго раунда после очередного перевода в партер и большого количества нанесенных ударов, победил техническим нокаутом.

30 апреля 2022 года на |UFC on ESPN: Фонт vs. Вера Романов победил болевым приемом Чейза Шермана в первом раунде.

20 августа 2022 года на UFC 278 Романов встретился с Марчином Тыбурой. Первый раунд прошел под полным контролем Александра. С самого начала раунда Романов перевел соперника в партер и не отпускал до конца раунда, нанося множество ударов. Во втором раунде Тыбура сумел перехвать инициативу и успешно защищался от проходов Александра. В третьем раунде Романов изрядно подустал и Тыбура уверенно забрал финальный раунд. Как итог победа Тыбуры большинством судейских голосов (29-28, 29-28, 28-28). Это поражение стало первым в карьере Александра.

11 марта 2023 года на UFC Fight Night: Ян vs. Двалишвили уступил техническим нокаутом в первом раунде Александру Волкову.

Kreatin je dusíkatá organická kyselina běžně se nacházející ve všech obratlovcích. Nejvyšší koncentrace dosahuje pak přímo ve svalové tkáni. Objevil ho a popsal roku 1832 Michel Eugene Chevreul. Nově objevená kyselina získala svůj název z řeckého "kreas", což znamená maso. Zdrojem kreatinu z běžné potravy jsou především různé druhy masa (hlavně hovězí a vepřové). V rostlinách kreatin není obsažen. V souladu s tím byla i naměřena nižší hladina kreatinu v tělech vegetariánů. Dosud hlavní spatřovanou úlohou kreatinu v tělech obratlovců (tedy i lidí) je zásobování svalových a nervových buněk energií.

Biosyntéza
Syntéza kreatinu se vyskytuje především v játrech a ledvinách. V průměru se vytvoří endogenně při odhadované rychlosti asi 8,3 mmol, resp. 1 gram na den u mladých lidí. Kreatin se také získává stravou rychlostí asi 1 gram denně z všežravé potravy. Většina zásob kreatinu a fosfokreatinu v lidském těle se nachází v kosterních svalech, zatímco zbytek je distribuován v krvi, mozku a jiných tkáních.

Kreatin není esenciální živinou, protože je přirozeně vyráběn v lidském těle z aminokyselin glycinu a argininu za podmínky, že methionin katalyzuje transformaci guanidinoacetátu na kreatin. V prvním kroku biosyntézy jsou tyto dvě aminokyseliny sloučeny enzymem arginin-glycin amidinotransferázou (AGAT, EC: 2.1.4.1) za vzniku guanidinoacetátu, který je poté methylován guanidinoacetát-N-methyltransferasou (GAMT, EC: 2.1.1.2), a to za použití S-adenosyl-methioninu jako donoru methylové skupiny. Kreatin samotný může být fosforylován kreatinkinázou za vzniku fosfokreatinu, který se používá jako energetický pufr v kosterních svalech a mozku.

Kreatin, který se syntetizuje v játrech a ledvinách, je transportován krví a zachytáván tkáněmi s vysokou energetickou náročností, např. mozek a kosterní sval, prostřednictvím aktivního transportního systému. Koncentrace ATP v kosterním svalu je obvykle 2–5 mM, což by vedlo ke svalové kontrakci v trvání pouze několika sekund. Během potřeby zvýšené energetické náročnosti systém fosfogen (ATP / PCr) rychle resyntézuje ATP z ADP za užití fosfokreatinu (PCr) reverzibilní reakcí s enzymem kreatinkinázou (CK). Ve skeletálním svalu mohou koncentrace PCr dosahovat 20–35 mM nebo více. Navíc ve většině svalů je ATP regenerační kapacita kreatinkinázy velmi vysoká, a proto není omezujícím faktorem. Přestože jsou buněčné koncentrace ATP malé, je obtížné zjistit jeho změny, protože ATP je nepřetržitě a účinně doplňován z velkých bazénů PCr a CK. Kreatin má schopnost zvyšovat zásoby svalů PCr, což potenciálně zvyšuje schopnost svalů resyntézovat ATP z ADP, aby uspokojily zvýšené požadavky na energii.

Význam
Kreatin slouží jako makroergická sloučenina, zásobující velmi rychlou energií především svalovou tkáň, kde je potřeba v krátké době vynaložit poměrně velké množství ATP. Kreatin se v klidovém období fosforyluje účinkem ATP na kreatinfosfát, který se ukládá, a když je nárazově potřeba hodně ATP, je možné pomocí kreatinfosfátu zpětně vyrábět ATP fosforylací ADP za současné spotřeby kreatinfosfátu na kreatin. Tělo průměrného člověka obsahuje asi 120 gramů kreatinu / kreatinfosfátu; z toho asi 95 % ve svalové tkáni. Nový kreatin vzniká tempem asi 2 g/den.

Potravní doplněk
Vzhledem k procesům, které kreatin v těle člověka ovlivňuje, začal brzy kreatin poutat pozornost sportovní medicíny a byl vyroben i v čisté podobě. Tak začala historie kreatinu monohydrátu jako doplňku stravy, a to nejen ve sportovní výživě. Potravní doplňky mohou nabývat práškové i tekuté formy, nabízí se i kreatinové tablety nebo žvýkačky. Užívání kreatinu je zcela legální a nepodléhá speciální kontrole. Přesto není zejména dětem a mladistvým s problémy se srdcem doporučován z principu předběžné opatrnosti. Mimo jiné totiž byly zaznamenány případy, kdy potravní doplněk obsahoval jiné účinné látky, než byly uvedeny na obalu. Čistá forma kreatinu monohydrátu může sloužit jako potravinový doplněk pro vegany, protože výrobní suroviny nejsou odvozeny od živočišných nebo rostlinných prvků.

Terapeutické využití
Kreatin monohydrát (hydratovaný kreatin) se používá při škále různých nervosvalových zranění za účelem urychlení rehabilitace. Může se jednat o uskřípnutí nervů, dočasná ochrnutí apod., která vyžadují součinnost s odborným terapeutem, trénování (procvičování) postižené tkáně a jejichž náprava většinou trvá od 1 do 9 měsíců. Dle klinické studie zaměřené na osoby s různými svalovými dystrofiemi je použití čisté formy kreatinu monohydrátu užitečné při rehabilitacích po úrazech nebo při trvalých tělesných omezeních.

Lékařské využití
Použití kreatinu pro léčebné účely (svalové, neurologické a kombinované choroby, artritida, infarktové stavy) bylo a stále ještě je zkoumáno. Některé studie ukazují, že kreatin by mohl zpomalovat nástup některých neurodegenerativních chorob. Výsledek experimentu byl připisován schopnosti kreatinu zvýšit dostupnost energie pro buňky, anebo blokaci chemické cesty, jež by vedla k úmrtí degenerovaných buněk. Jiná studie zjistila, že podávání kreatinu mírně zvyšuje fyzickou sílu u lidí postižených neurodegenerativními chorobami. Kreatin tak někdy užívají lidé trpící deficiencí GMAT, amyotrofickou laterální sklerózou, nemocí myasthenia gravis, svalovou dystrofií, Huntingtonovou chorobou, Parkinsonovou chorobou či McArdleovou nemocí. Klinická studie prokázala, že dodávání čisté formy kreatinu monohydrátu samostatně nebo ve spojení s cvičením, snižuje a oddaluje svalovou atrofii související s věkem, zlepšuje tělesnou hmotnost, svalovou sílu a současně také zvyšuje hustotu kostí.

Nežádoucí vedlejší účinky
 Zvýšení tělesné hmotnosti způsobené dodatečnou retencí vody do svalu
 Potenciální svalové křeče / deformace / tahy
 Žaludeční nevolnost
 Průjem
 Závrať
 Vysoký krevní tlak v důsledku zvýšené spotřeby vody

Používání kreatinu zdravými dospělými v normálních dávkách nepoškozuje ledviny; jeho účinky na ledviny u starších lidí a dospívajících nebyly od roku 2012 dobře známy. Americká akademie pediatrie a Americká vysoká škola sportovní medicíny doporučují, aby osoby mladší 18 let nepoužívaly kreatin. Lidé s onemocněním ledvin, vysokým krevním tlakem nebo onemocněním jater by neměli užívat kreatin jako výživový doplněk. Přírůstek hmotnosti během prvního týdne se pravděpodobně přičítá většímu zadržování vody v důsledku zvýšené koncentrace kreatinu v séru. Dvě větší review vyvracejí, že by doplnění kreatinu mělo ovlivnit stav hydratace a toleranci tepla a vést k svalovým křečemi a průjmům.

Sportovní využití
Užívání kreatinových doplňků zvyšuje svalovou koncentraci kreatinu. Kreatin do jisté míry zvyšuje svalovou sílu, zejména při anaerobním (krátkodobém) sportovním výkonu. Dále zvyšuje svalovou hmotu, ale pouze tím, že zvyšuje zadržování vody ve svalstvu. Nová studie o vlivu kreatin monohydrátu, syrovátkových proteinů a maltodextrinu na růst svalové hmoty přepisuje dosud zažité dávkování. Došlo se ke zjištění, že stačí mnohem menší denní příjem kreatin monohydrátu než bylo dosud uváděno.

Při sportu je užíváno více přípravků obsahujících kreatin a to těchto:
 kreatin monohydrát (čistý kreatin bez jakéhokoliv přídavku)
 kre-alkalyn (kreatin monohydrát s přidávanou jedlou sodou – soda bikarbona)
 kreatin ethylester (vyráběný reakcí s ethanolem)

Willie's America-Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson was born in 1933 and is an American musician, actor, and activist. He is one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.
He joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1965. Nelson retired in 1972 and moved to Austin, Texas. The ongoing music scene of Austin motivated Nelson to return from retirement, performing frequently at the Armadillo World Headquarters.
"Music Legends" is a series of paintings. The process starts with a 33LP vinyl record, which is melted, stretched and molded to compliment the specific artist. The record is then painted to reflect the energy and feeling of that particular artist. The record is mounted on a 15" by 15" panel which is painted to compliment the record.

Home care offers a more affordable and less restrictive option to nursing homes. But will the effect of recent federal mandates on the home care industry leave some elderly Georgians without care?
Courtney Gaines was always an active, independent and social person. Neither she nor her family wanted anything to change that, so when the early effects of Alzheimer's complicated by a fall made it difficult for her to get out of the house, her family turned to home care.
Gaines' three grown children lived within 45 minutes of her in Savannah, but their own families and work schedules made it impossible to spend as much time with their mother as she would have liked or needed, says her daughter Grace Gattis. Her caregivers became much like extended family.
Gattis' relationship with the caregivers grew, too, as she relied on them to share the details about her mother's day that her mother no longer could. "It gave me so much peace of mind to have that connection and to have a relationship with the people caring for my mother," she says.
Gattis is among the growing number of Georgians who have turned to home care when a loved one needs help to age in place. For many elderly Georgians, that decision means the difference between the ability to stay at home – often the one where they have lived for years and even raised their families – and moving to a nursing home or other more restrictive environment.
Started in the 1970s to serve the frail elderly, the home care industry has grown steadily with the aging population. Experts say the need for home care will continue to grow as the number of older Americans does. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by 2020, 54.8 million Americans will be 65 and older; by 2050, that number will reach 88.5 million. Of those who reach 65, nearly 70 percent will be unable to care for themselves at some point without assistance, according to the Commission on Long-Term Care's 2013 Report to Congress.
Although home care is often confused with home health care, the two are not the same. Home health is medically necessary and doctor-prescribed care that is performed by a combination of medical professionals, such as a physical therapist, occupational therapist, social worker, registered nurse or home health aide. They provide health services such as administering medications, changing wound dressings or helping with prescribed exercises. Home health for seniors is usually a short-term proposition and is covered by Medicare for a limited number of days following a hospitalization. Medicare billing and reimbursement is by procedure.
Home care, on the other hand, is typically provided by certified nursing assistants (CNAs), who have received professional training that enables them to assist in daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, toileting, meal preparation, eating, transportation, running errands and light housework. CNAs employed by Georgia's approximately 1,250 licensed home care agencies undergo criminal background checks, communicable disease screenings and other safeguards to help ensure client satisfaction and safety, says Eddie Grogan, president of the Georgia Chapter of the Home Care Association of America, the leading trade association for providers of home care.
Another important difference in the two is who pays for it and how. Unlike home health, which is covered by Medicare, home care is not covered by Medicare or traditional health insurance. Instead, it is funded almost entirely by patients and their families, long-term care policies or through Medicaid Waiver programs, including the Georgia Community Care Services Program (CCSP), designed to help frail older adults receive services in the community as an alternative to placement in a nursing home.
While some agencies – particularly smaller ones – work solely with long-term care plans and self-pay clients, many larger agencies focus largely on patients receiving Medicaid waivers.
For example, at the Savannah-based Coastal Home Care, which employs approximately 650 caregivers, roughly 75 percent of business is through Medicare Waiver programs, says Martin Miller, president and CEO. For some other providers, the percentage is even higher. Consumers and waiver plans pay for home care services by the hour, unlike home health, which is billed and paid for by the service ordered.
Research shows that getting more often means less. For example, Americans receiving home care generally need less Alzheimer's care and fewer trips to doctors and hospitals. Assistance in the home means people are also less likely to have falls, experience medication mix-ups, miss out on social events due to driving limitations or suffer from loneliness and isolation.
A study out of Columbia University shows healthcare costs are less with home care as well. According to the report Is Home Health Care a Substitute for Hospital Care? Evidence from Longitudinal, State-Level Employment Data, 1998-2008, the U.S. saved as much as $25 billion in hospital costs in 2008 alone due to the growth of home care.
Despite the benefits home care offers to individuals and the healthcare system as a whole, the industry faces new threats, ironically, from a system designed to make care more widely available.
Regardless of their payment mix, home care agency owners say unfunded federal mandates are making care less affordable for individuals and more difficult for agencies to provide. Recent challenges to the industry include the redefinition of full-time and mandatory health insurance coverage for full-time employees under the Affordable Care Act and changes to the companion services exemption of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Redefinition of full-time and mandatory health insurance. Home care agencies have traditionally relied on aids working on a PRN, or as-needed, basis. Workers' hours often fluctuated with the number of clients they served and the changing needs of those clients. Under the Affordable Care Act's employer mandate, many of these PRN workers are now considered full-time, and if the agency has more than 50 employees, must be offered health benefits. Agencies that don't offer health insurance to employees working at least 30 hours on average must pay a penalty of $2,000 per employee. That means a CNA who works 40 hours one week, but just 20 another, still qualifies as full time.
The result of this mandate is not only the huge expense of providing insurance to employees, but of the administrative costs that go along with that, says Grogan. "To do the internal record keeping and reporting that has to be done is probably adding about another $20,000 to $45,000 per year just to do the reporting required by the ACA," he says.
Yet reimbursement rates from Medicaid have not increased to cover the increased costs of providing insurance or associated administrative costs, leaving the agencies themselves to somehow cover those costs, says Grogan.
Changes to companion services exception. People providing companion services to the elderly were previously exempt from minimum wage and overtime laws in the Fair Labor Standards Act. But recent changes to the act require home care agencies pay CNAs at least minimum wage – even for time spent driving to clients' homes – and overtime pay for hours on the job – in many cases, even if those hours are overnight spent sleeping in the client's home.
"Minimum wage is not a problem," says Miller. Coastal Health Care, like most other agencies in the state, has always paid its CNAs above the national minimum wage, he says. The challenge lies more in overtime and travel time – particularly to homes in rural areas.
When agencies can't pay the overtime, that means less work for CNAs, many of whom agreed to work longer hours without overtime because they endeared themselves to the families they worked for, says Grogan. "We have lost caregivers from the industry going somewhere else because they can't get more than 40 hours in home care anymore," he says.
For salaried home care employees who were previously exempt from overtime, upcoming amendments to the White Collar Exemption in Fair Labor Standards Act will require that many of those receive overtime as well. While the current minimum salary limit for an exempt employee is $23,660 per year, that minimum will rise to $47,500 in January. "Anyone who doesn't make at least $47,500 has to be hourly – they cannot be exempt," says Miller.
Even smaller agencies that accept only self-pay, such as BrightStar of Marietta, will suffer from the increased costs associated with the changes to Fair Labor Standards Act. "I don't know if we will be able to reflect that with what we charge," says Evans.
These changes and mandates could mean higher prices for home care, which could put it out of reach for many Georgians, says Grogan.
Experts fear unless something changes, companies accepting Medicaid waivers may drop off the program, resulting in more expensive nursing home admissions for Medicaid-eligible elderly.
The Home Care Association of America's Georgia Chapter is working on the issue by requesting a cost adjustment for home care services in the upcoming session of the Georgia General Assembly in January. If passed, the adjustment would increase reimbursement by an average of 5.8 percent. The total cost of the increase would be slightly under $16.2 million, of which Georgia would be responsible for $5.3 million. The remainder would be paid by federal funds through the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP).
More importantly, he and others say, increased funding will enable more of the state's frail and elderly – at least those covered by Medicaid waivers – to age gracefully in the comfort of their own home.
Home health care and home care are two very different services offered to those who need help at home. However they are not mutually exclusive – many families find that home care services, which address personal caregiving and household chores, can be helpful while someone is also receiving home health care following hospitalization.
