5. Remove the dough from refrigerator, and gently roll it inside the cling wrap only to soften it. Using a rolling pin or your hands, stretch the dough to form a long rectangle of about ½ inch thick. Try doing this within the cling wrap only so it becomes easier. Repeat this step for the second dough. Using a ruler, straighten the edges an cut off extra dough.
6. Spread a fresh parchment paper and place vanilla rectangle on it. Brush milk on top of it. Gently lift chocolate rectangle and place on top of vanilla rectangle. Gently using a rolling pin, roll both dough together so that they stick to each other and don't separate when rolling them into a log. Milk will help in binding the two strips.
7. Roll the dough from the longer side toward you as tight as possible for firmer shaped rolls. You may need to use both your hands and proceed slowly. Pinch the seams to seal it. Turn over the roll so that the seam is facing down. You will be left with a long roll.
8. Cover this ready log gently in a cling wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180°.
9. Remove the dough and carefully cut them into round cookies. Place on a cookie sheet, one inch apart and bake for 12-13 minutes. Cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.

Her Mission: Getting Craft Cannabis Into Ontario's Government Cannabis Stores
Last October, Constellation Brands Inc.—an international producer and marketer of beer, wine and spirits, and a behemoth in the alcohol industry—signed a $191 million deal for a 9.9% stake in Canopy Growth Corp., Canada's first publicly traded cannabis company. The unprecedented deal broke new ground and created new possibilities for both industries.
"That deal had a huge ripple effect," says Lisa Campbell, co-creator of Green Market pop-up events, which are essentially farmers' markets for craft cannabis producers, and well-attended despite being illegal. "All these alcohol companies are now getting into cannabis in a really big way," Campbell says. "And all these cannabis companies are trying to get into the alcohol industry because they have massive coffers."
Campbell has developed an extensive network of contacts in the cannabis industry through Green Market and her history of advocacy. She also has family connections in the alcohol industry, and for her next move, Campbell's merging her cannabis advocacy with the family business and going legal.
Campbell's father, Steve, is the co-founder of Lifford Wine & Spirits, a company that distributes alcohol products that can't be purchased in Ontario's government-controlled liquor stores (LCBOs). What started as a small agency now operates across Canada with products sourced from 18 countries. The LCBO will also be in charge of cannabis sales in Ontario, selling products in separate retail locations. Once legalized, Lifford Wine & Spirits will add cannabis to their portfolio.
"I think a lot of the stuff I did with the Green Market is parallel, almost exactly, in terms of acting like an agency," Campbell says. "Green Market is a portfolio of brands, and some of those brands we would have supply-chain relationships with."
For Green Market, Campbell sourced craft products and brought them to market through her events and by acquiring shelf space in large dispensary chains. "The advantage of an agency in the supply chain is that agencies are tastemakers," she says.
Step One: Educate
While Green Market is on hiatus, it may not be finished. "Initially, we thought it was over but now we like to say Green Market is snowbirding," says Campbell. Her focus at the moment is on the future with Lifford and bringing more cannabis products to market for the emerging legal industry. Now, her business card says something else. Cannabis Portfolio Specialist. A new title for a new opportunity.
On a Thursday morning in March, light spills through large windows on the first floor of the Lifford building. For now, the space is mostly empty, with a few framed photos on the wall, a fold-up table in the middle of the room. Soon, the first floor will be transformed, Campbell says, into a co-working space and a place to hold events, specifically events geared towards cannabis education.
"Through Green Market, I've met all these folks, restaurant owners, juice bar owners, creative, talented entrepreneurs, but they don't have a million dollars to acquire a licensed producer (LP) or build a facility, but they want to do things like edible dinners," Campbell says.
"These restauranters and chefs and food producers don't necessarily have the knowledge to enter the industry, so there's major interest but not any education geared toward them or their community."
Before Lifford was founded in 1978, Campbell's father was in the restaurant industry for 16 years. At that time, "it was really difficult to find wine here," he says. "I really do see the LCBO, and their new role in selling cannabis, they are going to mimic their success in wine and spirits. They will look at the things from the past that have really worked and one of them is greater accessibility beyond what they were selling in stores. I can see, over time, that parallel happening with marijuana, as well."
The first year of legalization is critical, Campbell says. She is viewing it as a year-long national cannabis cup.
"All the LPs, big or small, are going to have their flowers on the market," she says. "A lot of consumer tastes and preference will be solidified in that first year."
Campbell believes, though legalization is coming soon, we are still more than a year away from "peak legalization," which she says won't be achieved until there is product diversity. "Once craft cannabis comes on the market, I think you'll see a really high demand for that small-batch, small-producer product."
As for how Campbell sees herself fitting into the equation: "If you have a strain that no other LP has but you're just a tiny micro grow, you might want to team up with another grower and supply them with clones, and a company like ours will be able to take all that product, brand it, and sell it to a retailer."
The Liquor Precedent
Recently, Lifford did just this with a wine. They brought a Canadian winemaker to Chile, who created a wine, while Lifford created a label and then brokered a deal with Quebec's provincial liquor stores, who bought every bottle.
"Part of what we'll be able to do in future, like we do for alcohol now, is take a network of producers that meet defined criteria, and create a brand around their product to sell to a retailer," Campbell says.
"The LCBO has a huge appetite for products. It's the biggest alcohol buyer in the world. Soon, it will be the biggest cannabis buyer in the world."
It's taken about two years of lobbying to get Lifford to this point of cannabis acceptance, Campbell says. "Two years ago, I wanted to move in and create a cannabis showroom and have a space where LPs could rent out shelf space for their products."
It wasn't until December, and a threat to move to Colombia, when the idea really started to gain traction. "We had a managers' meeting, all the managers across Canada, and they all agreed cannabis was an opportunity," Campbell says. "If one of our biggest competitors is going to go all in on cannabis, it makes sense we would, too."
Now, the liquor industry and the cannabis industry are converging coast to coast. It's a far cry from the days when liquor purchases required background checks, an assessment of past consumption, and the discretion of the clerk to decide whether or not you're buying too much. Campbell is hoping cannabis will follow a similar path of normalization.
"Alcohol is very much part of politics. When is it going to become acceptable for a public affairs company to take out their client and a politician, not for a beer, but to consume cannabis?
"We're at the very beginning."

Барон Людвиг Николай фон Алларт (писался также Галлард, Галларт) (;  — ) — шотландский дворянин, военный инженер на саксонской и русской военной службе, сподвижник Петра І, российский генерал-аншеф.

Происхождение
Представитель шотландского дворянского рода, сын генерал-майора бранденбургской службы Генриха Галларда (1620—1681).

Начало военной службы
Служил саксонскому курфюрсту Августу II, участвовал в кампании в Венгрии, достиг чина генерал-лейтенанта.

В годы Северной войны
С началом Северной войны в 1700 году Август II направил его в Россию в числе других саксонских офицеров. Прибыл в русский лагерь в сентябре, когда последняя находилась у стен Нарвы. В период осадных действий под крепостью Алларт получил «верховную команду в делании апрош, батарей, кетелей и линий», имел главный надзор за всеми осадными работами. Как искусному инженеру, ему было поручено составить диспозицию и ведомость необходимого для осады Нарвы. В Нарвском сражении, окончившемся для русских войск полным поражением, он вместе с герцогом де Круа и многими другими иностранными командирами, заподозренными русскими солдатами в измене, вынужден был искать спасения в плену у шведов.

До 1705 года Алларт находился в плену в Швеции, после чего, с доплатой в 4000 ефимков, был разменен на шведского генерала Арвида Горна. По возвращении из плена осенью 1705 года сопровождал Августа II в его поездке в Гродно, где Август II был наименован главнокомандующим союзной саксонско-русской армией, с согласия Августа перешёл на русскую военную службу в чине генерал-поручика, в период гродненской военной операции возглавил пехотную дивизию.

Алларт был назначен шефом Казанского пехотного полка и принял участие во многих действиях против шведов, а также лично руководил работами по укреплению важных стратегических пунктов Полоцка и Копыси.

Во время Русского похода Карла XII в 1708 году во главе дивизии участвовал в бою у Мезина, затем в действиях русских войск на реке Ворскле в период осады шведами Полтавы (1709), а также в самой Полтавской битве, за отличие в которой сделан кавалером ордена Святого апостола Андрея Первозванного.

В 1711 году во главе дивизии участвовал в неудачном Прутском походе и ранен в сражении 20 июля. Рядом с ним был смертельно ранен его зять подполковник Лиенро.

В 1712 году назначен командующим над союзными русскими, польскими и датскими войсками, действовавшими в Померании против крепости Штральзунд. Однако осенью того же года отстранен от командования по проискам князя А. Д. Меншикова и обиженный вышел в отставку, получив в пожизненное арендное содержание поместье Вольмарсгоф в Лифляндии.

Продолжил участие в Северной войне, находился на службе у Августа II.

В 1721 году, по заключении Ништадтского мира, вернулся на службу в русскую армию, принял командование над войсками, расположенными на Украине. В апреле 1723 года сдал их генералу М. М. Голицыну и прибыл в Санкт-Петербург. 30 августа 1725 года Императрица Екатерина І пожаловала ему орден Святого Александра Невского, но вскоре Алларт оставил службу, вероятно, вновь не поладив с Меншиковым, вышел в отставку и поселившись в имении, скончался в нём.

Оценка деятельности
Выделяясь в ряду современников своим образованием, Алларт отличался обширными знаниями по инженерным наукам; после него осталась, богатая коллекция до 800 планов различных крепостей Европы, дневник, веденный им во время осады Нарвы в 1700 году. Также известен тем, что начал писать историю Петра I. Перевод первого тома неоконченной истории Алларта хранится в рукописи в Эрмитажной библиотеке. Отрывок из неё напечатан П. M. Строевым в «Северном Архиве» 1822 года (кн. 1-я, стр. 3—25, 117—143), под заглавием: «Подробное описание осады г. Нарвы и сражения под сим городом в 1700 г.».

Современник Жан-Никола де Бразе в своих записках называет Алларта «одним из искуснейших генералов его царского величества». «Генерал Алларт, сверх многих других достоинств, есть один из лучших инженеров своего времени. Он умеет искусно разведать местные обстоятельства, расположиться лагерем, воспользоваться выгодами и начертать верную карту театру войны», — пишет де Бразе.

Dana White on Status of Rousey Fighting at UFC 205 in NYC (Video)
Kel Dansby
Talk around the UFC pegged Ronda Rousey for a November return, coincidentally that is the date set for the promotions MSG debut.
The buzz surrounding a Rousey title fight and the NYC debut of the UFC had many ready to hit the fast forward button on the Summer but now UFC President Dana White isn't so sure Rousey will compete at UFC 205.
"She has as much time off as she wants or needs. Obviously, I would love her to come back sooner than later so we'll see how that plays out but it wouldn't be a bad thing to roll into New York with Ronda but I just don't know if she's going to be ready," said White.
Ronda's already training MMA, and boxing, in anticipation of her return to the octagon. That leads us to believe that Dana White is more concerned about Ronda being mentally prepared for a title fight, than her physical skills returning.
Does Ronda seem physically ready to you?

BHS, SBHS seek to merge football programs
The neighboring rival high schools are hoping to get approval to form a cooperative football program. The VPA is scheduled to hear the proposal Friday.

Administrators at Burlington and South Burlington high schools hope to solve sagging participation with their football teams with a straightforward solution: combine their programs.
Athletic directors Mike Jabour and Jeanne Hulsen plan to present a proposal Friday to the Vermont Principals' Association that outlines reasons two of the state's biggest schools must enter into a cooperative agreement in order to resuscitate — and rebuild — both gridiron outfits.
"That is the driving force behind this co-op, to save football for our two communities," Jabour, the first-year AD at his alma mater, told the Burlington Free Press on Monday.
"We want to merge because of our numbers and maintaining the sustainability to play," said Hulsen, Burlington's longtime AD. "The bottom line is, this is for kids to play."
The Activities Standards Committee, an 11-member regulatory branch of the VPA, will hear the proposal during its agenda meetings Friday morning in Stowe. The proposal needs a majority vote to pass.
The move would break new ground for the VPA, which is the governing body for high school athletics in the state. Although joint teams in football and other sports throughout Vermont have become a more accepted practice, two Division I football teams have yet to merge under the co-op policy.
"Did this surprise me? Yeah, it did, but their proposal lays out the numbers," VPA Associate Executive Director Bob Johnson said. "They are not getting a lot of numbers out of their youth programs right now, and that's having a real impact on them.
"It's not an automatic slam dunk," he added. "We have turned down co-ops before."
If approved, the two-year agreement would take effect for the fall 2018 season.
Numbers crunch

Participation concerns for football are a nationwide issue, one that puts the vitality of the sport's future in peril in some circles. In Vermont, those concerns are magnified by the state's size and by declining school enrollment numbers.
Participation in Vermont high school football has been cut nearly in half — 48 percent — since the 2006-07 school year, according to a 2016 survey by the National Federation of State High School Associations.
"Everybody is seeing the same thing: The numbers are just going down," Johnson said.
South Burlington carried 44 players, counting a dozen seniors, in its program this past season. The Seahorses had 36, with 16 in their final year.
Two years ago, South Burlington had 71; in 2016, 52. BHS has carried just over 40 in those two campaigns.
The Seahorses have seen success on the field with back-to-back Division II playoff berths in 2015 and 2016 and a home quarterfinal game this past fall in their return to D-I, but the Wolves have struggled mightily.
South Burlington is 5-31 with no playoff bids since it reached the D-I title game in 2013.
Both BHS and South Burlington rank in the top six among Vermont football-playing schools in terms of the number of boys who attend. But mitigating factors and projected poor returns in youth programs have forced administrators to take action before both situations become dire, the athletic directors said.
"For both schools, if we don't do something in the short amount of time, we are going to be cancelling games. It's already happening at the JV level," South Burlington Principal Pat Burke said. "The question really is, how bad are we really going to let this get before we do something?
"Let's be proactive and not wait before we are cancelling games or seasons," Burke continued. "I think it's the solution for Vermont. I think we are going to see a lot of this."
End of a rivalry?

Jabour, a 2005 South Burlington graduate and a four-year football player, was part of the rivalry with Burlington — perhaps at its height. From 1999 to 2006, Burlington and South Burlington met four times in the postseason, including twice in a state final.
"I remember losing to Burlington 34-33" in the 2003 semifinals, Jabour said. "It was tough to see the numbers decline so rapidly in our school, especially being a football guy."
But given the close proximity of the two communities, the co-op could be viewed as a positive influence. The schools expressed their support in two public settings within the past year. BHS offered its artificial turf field for use to South Burlington for a boys lacrosse semifinal contest in the spring when the Wolves' own turf field was vandalized shortly before game time.
And in the fall, Hulsen, Burlington's AD, gave a heartfelt speech prior to the Seahorses' homecoming football game against the Wolves. The game was in doubt a day before due to the BHS teachers strike.
"The two schools have been able to unite for a greater cause," Jabour said. "I think our communities will understand and get behind this co-op moving forward."
Both schools also are familiar with co-op agreements. South Burlington joined forces with Mount Mansfield for the 2012-13 girls hockey season, and Burlington currently enjoys a co-op with Colchester in the same sport.
"In my experiences with the co-op situations, when you create opportunities for kids to play, they are very happy," Hulsen said. "They want to play."
If approved, what's next?
If the VPA's Activities Standards Committee passes the proposal, the work is just beginning for Burlington and South Burlington.
Where to play home games, uniforms, a team nickname — Seawolves, anyone? — and locking down a coaching staff are just a few of the items near the top of the agenda.
Jabour said Joe McDonald, South Burlington's coach for the past 26 seasons, is expected to return, but Burlington is looking to replace Brennan Carney, who stepped down after 10 seasons. Hulsen said school leaders will move forward with the search once they "know where the proposal stands."
The D-I schedule also would have to be tweaked if the BHS-SBHS co-op receives approval. Teams are in the middle of a two-year scheduling cycle.
The Vermont Interscholastic Football League would handle the schedule changes, said the VPA's Bob Johnson, adding he hopes any public naysayers to the proposal take a reasonable approach to the situation.
"Some people might be concerned about creating this huge, powerful team, but the numbers don't bear this out," Johnson said. "If you really take a look at the youth programs, number of returning kids, they are completely different stories.
"We want people to take away the emotional part of this," Johnson added. "They wouldn't be requesting this if they didn't need this."
For Burke, the South Burlington principal just wants to keep alive a sport he loves.
"I really want to have a football team," he said. "I really want to have a place for people to play football."

Joe Ledley's beard
You've got to hand it to Chris Coleman: against the odds he has drilled team spirit and tight organisation into his Wales squad despite operating under the handicap of having the smallest pool of players in Europe from which to select. Never-say-die determination and a recognisable, coherent playing system, qualities rarely evident in recent Welsh sides, were rewarded with two excellent results, a gripping goalless draw against Bosnia and a nerve-racking 2-1 win over Cyprus, in last week's Euro 2016 qualifying matches in Cardiff, leaving Wales at the top of Group B after three games.
Since Wales haven't yet played Group favourites Belgium or unbeaten Israel this dizzy position, although enjoyable, should delude no-one; we will know a lot more after the next match in Belgium in November. If The World's Most Expensive Footballer comes unscathed through Real Madrid's La Liga fixtures in the interim, then it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that Coleman's A-team (Gareth Bale plus any ten uninjured others) could get a result at the King Baudouin Stadium (the royalist airbrushing given to the infamous former Heysel Stadium). But let's not run before we can walk: we've been in such a position many times before and, so far, it has never ended well.
Instead, I want to ponder some side-issues to emerge after the two games:
WAYNE HENNESSEY: Brilliant against Bosnia, sloppy against Cyprus, the 6½ ft Bangor-born bean-pole is shaping up to be the Gary Sprake de nos jours.
SIMON CHURCH: Writhing on the ground after a gentle tumble in the first minute of the Cyprus match, Church wasn't faking it. He didn't need the modern footballer's usual swarms of attendants (masseur, hair stylist, tattooist, libel lawyer); he needed St Johns Ambulance. The industrious but limited Charlton Athletic striker had dislocated his shoulder. Wales then had to play the whole game without an orthodox target-man, leaving ten men behind the ball and Bale to roam and do damage on his own. And it worked. By accident Chris Coleman has landed on a way to beat Belgium.
CHED EVANS: There are few alternatives to Church if Coleman wants to stick to his favoured 4-5-1 system. Just released from prison, Ched Evans is one – but the conservative Coleman is highly unlikely to challenge the knee-jerk outrage of the get-a-life Twitterati, unless Sheffield United have taken the flak first. Evans, with 53 goals in 147 English league games, has a far better goalscoring record than Church (31 in 189). However, the FAW lack the intelligence to challenge the hopeless argument of those who want to punish Evans for ever more; the 'role model' argument that ludicrously and insultingly claims impressionable youngsters watching him kick a ball will somehow conclude that rape is fine.
ALEX DARLINGTON: If Chris Coleman could bring himself to think outside the box there is another alternative: he's 25, he's a Welsh-born professional footballer, he's brave and skilful, and he's a natural goalscorer who has bagged 73 goals in 162 league games plus 3 goals in 17 Champions League games. Oh, my mistake, he plays for The New Saints in the Welsh football pyramid, so that's out of the question.
CHRIS COLEMAN: Talking of the Wales manager, is it just me or is he looking significantly younger than he did a few months ago? And what a remarkably fine head of jet-black hair he has for a man of 44!
JAKE TAYLOR: The Reading forward won his first Wales cap against Cyprus, coming on as sub in the last 5 minutes. He's a Berkshire boy born and bred, but qualifies for Wales through his paternal grandparents who were both born here: my Auntie Hazel (my mother's sister) and Uncle Roy, who moved to Reading in the 1960s. You can imagine my anxiety, let alone my ripe language, as knackered Wales hung on: I had visions of him scoring a freak own-goal to give Cyprus an undeserved draw and effectively scupper our qualification chances – a catastrophe that I would have felt personally responsible for (I never properly engaged with his dad Nick). It didn't happen! Message to Jake: can I borrow £20k mate? I'll pay it back as soon as my ship comes in…
JOE LEDLEY: Cardiffian Ledley had his best games yet for Wales, showing real leadership, passion and discipline. As for that beard, he clearly doesn't fully grasp the commodification of individuality – such things were probably not taught at Cantonian High.

Singapore, 19 July 2017 – CBRE is pleased to offer Villa D'Este, a rare development site on prime Dalvey Road, for sale through a Public Tender exercise.
Located at 105 – 111 (Odd Nos) Dalvey Road, Villa D'Este sits on a freehold tenure site with an excellent frontage of more than 90m on Dalvey Road. The land area is approximately 55,480 square feet and the existing gross floor area is approximately 49,071 square feet. The existing floor area has been verified by the URA.
The guide price for Villa D'Este is $96 million, which works out to $1,730 per square foot on the land area. Based on URA's confirmation on the development charge (DC) baseline, there is no DC payable. In 2010, the property was in the market with a guide price of $115 million.
Villa D'Este is a part 3 and part 4 storey apartment development sitting on a car park podium, comprising 12 apartments ranging from 3,465 sq ft to 3,939 sq ft. 10 out of 12 owners representing more than 80% of the total share value and total strata area has agreed to the sale.
Its immediate neighbourhood is characterized by Good Class Bungalows, the most exclusive residential land form in Singapore. A boulevard of lush mature trees line Dalvey Road, and leads directly to Singapore Botanic Gardens, Singapore's first and only UNESCO heritage site.
Located approximately 350m from Stevens MRT Station (DT10) and Stevens Interchange Station (TE11 – Year 2021) on the Thomson-East Coast Line, the site is connected directly within 10 minute to key precincts in the city centre including Orchard, Bugis and Marina Bay.
Based on the Masterplan 2014, the site is zoned 'Residential' and sits within the Good Class Bungalow Area (White House Park). Its zoning offers multiple development opportunities.
According to the URA's Guidelines For Redevelopment Or Additions & Alterations (A&A) Of Existing Flats & Condominiums Within Safeguarded Landed Housing Areas dated 6 April 2009, Villa D'Este may be redeveloped back to the existing condominium housing form provided there is no intensification of the existing approved gross floor area (GFA) and storey height.
The site can also be developed to Good Class Bungalows. Based on the URA guidelines of minimum plot size of 15,069 sq ft and minimum plot width of 18.5m, the regularly shaped site with a land area of approximately 55,480 sq ft and wide frontage of more than 90 metres on Dalvey Road lends itself to a subdivision of 3 generous GCB plots. Alternatively, the site may be redeveloped to a single majestic GCB.
Located within the prestigious Nassim Road and White House Park GCB area.
Walking distance to Singapore Botanic Garden, a UNESCO Heritage Site.
Galven Tan (陈威礽), Director, Capital Markets, CBRE said, "This is an exceptional offering. New condominium developments located within GCB areas are extremely sought after by foreigners as it offers them the prestigious GCB address since they are not allowed to own GCBs. Both developers from Singapore and the region will be very keen on the opportunity".
"The GCB market has also been very active this year, with 22 deals worth approximately $463 million transacted. At this quantum, it is more than half the total quantum of $788.53 million transacted in 2016. GCBs that are in proximity to the Singapore Botanic Gardens are extremely sought after." Galven added.
CBRE is the exclusive sole marketing agent for this Public Tender Exercise.
The tender closes on 25 August 2017, Friday at 3 pm.


We want our patients to be as comfortable as possible while at Salude. Therefore, please feel free to bring the following items to the facility. We recommend leaving any valuables at home, and it is best to label all items with your name. If you have any questions or concerns, please ask a member of our staff.
Salude will provide generic toiletries in your suite (hair dryer, toothpaste, mouthwash, razors, deodorant, soap, shampoo, etc.). However, you may elect to bring personal products of your choice.
The employees and management team of Salude want to make your stay comfortable and ensure you have a speedy recovery. When you arrive, you will be assisted to your suite. A nurse or nursing assistant will visit you in your suite to aid with any immediate needs and provide a general orientation of your suite and of the facility. The nursing admission assessment will be completed on your first day of admission. Your medications, based on orders received from the hospital, will be ordered from the pharmacy. If you arrive prior to 4:00 pm, you will be evaluated by the therapy department that day. If you arrive after 4:00 pm, your therapy evaluation will take place the next day. Other team members will also visit you within 24 hours of admission. A lunch and dinner tray will be delivered to your suite during regular meal times. If you would like a snack before the meal arrives, please let our staff know.
At Salude, we have three primary care physician groups that will see you if your primary care physician does not make visits to our facility. One of our primary physician groups will be assigned to you and see you after you are admitted to Salude. Our CEO and medical director at Salude is a full-time physician "transitionist" with hospital experience, and he helps assure that our care delivery and quality protocols are in place. Additionally, we have nurse practitioners, a physiatrist (rehabilitation physician) and an infectious disease physician on staff. Finally, at the time of discharge, you may have the option to have our nurse practitioner team perform home visits.
We will have an interdisciplinary bedside meeting/rounds with you within the first few days. Family members are encouraged to participate. This occurs after initial assessments by our team members to discuss your plan of care with the interdisciplinary team. Additional meetings can be held to review progress as necessary. We will also strive for a safe discharge and can meet with you and your family to plan your transition from the facility if needed. You and your family will communicate with the interdisciplinary team and discuss needed equipment, home or placement issues, upcoming appointments, medication needs and home health services.
We can arrange transportation for you should you need assistance going to a doctor's appointment. We can schedule a wheelchair or stretcher transport, and there is a cost associated with the service that is not covered under Medicare and most insurance plans.
While at Salude, you will be able to coordinate your therapy sessions depending on the time of day you function best. One of our therapists will consult with you to provide more information about the equipment used, what tasks will be done and how to schedule your appointments. We offer physical, occupational and speech therapy. Physical and occupational therapy is provided seven days a week to allow you to return home as soon as possible. Speech therapy is provided five days a week and will provide evaluation and treatment as needed in the areas of swallowing impairments, voice and language and cognitive therapy.
We provide housekeeping services every day from 8am-7pm. We clean the suites daily, but if you need extra cleaning or have any questions, comments or concerns, please call the front desk at extension 3222 to contact a housekeeping supervisor.
When a patient leaves the hospital and comes to Salude, the physician at the hospital sends medication orders with the patient. Once the patient arrives at Salude with their medication orders, the orders are reviewed by a nurse, a physician and a pharmacist. This ensures the accuracy and appropriateness of each medication. Medication cannot be given to a patient until the orders have been through this safety process, so medications may not be immediately available upon the patient's arrival to Salude. We strive to work through this process as quickly as possible, especially when the patient is in need of pain medication.
A staff member will be assigned to periodically check on you throughout the duration of your stay, ensuring that your concerns are addressed, and most of all, to make your experience a near perfect one. Please openly share your experience with your Salude navigator so that all of your needs can be addressed in a timely manner.
Each day you will have the option of choosing our Chef's Daily Special or one of our alternative menu items along with your choice from our assortment of drink options.

Salude also has a Grab N' Go Café, where you and your visitors can conveniently buy snacks and drinks.
At Salude, we believe that recovery is based on multiple dimensions— social, occupational, emotional, physical, intellectual, environmental and spiritual— that's why we offer the EnerG® program created by Aegis Therapies® to support the factors that impact patient health on a daily basis. The EnerG® program offers fun, interactive wellness activities and active participation classes designed to keep our patients motivated and moving while increasing their ability to be independent longer.

We encourage patients to let us know what they want to learn.
A series of 18 classes, each with weekly "homework," that can get seniors on the path to healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. Classes are also beneficial as a one time healthy eating learning experience.

Crab grass is removable so long as you start at the roots and pull up. If it's being particularly difficult, you can simply water your lawn to soften the soil and then pull it out with relative ease.
One of the best things you can do to make sure crab grass doesn't impede your lawn's development – or at the very least – kept it form sprouting up to begin with; is to seed bare areas of your lawn. Crab grass has a particular affinity for bare and/or dry spots in your turf, so when you can identify it, spread seed over it. That being said, if you have used a weed killer on your lawn recently, you should probably hold off a bit – and by that, we mean a month or so.
Nothing is better for your lawn than water. If you're keeping up a consistent schedule – like watering your lawn two or three times in a given week, you shouldn't have to worry about it to begin with.
When you mow your lawn, try to keep it at about three inches in height. When you cut your grass, it's OK to leave behind clippings. Clippings can serve as detritus, and add both nutrients and shade for your soil – thus helping it retain water longer.
Pesticides aren't the best solution for everything, but in the case of crab grass, spraying pre emergent every time that your plants are ready to bloom can help solve a whole swath of problems that potentially lay ahead – chief among them being crab grass.
Stick to these simple tips, and you'll be able to ward off weeds and keep your lawn healthy for an extended period of time. And if you want help – call a pro! It can save you hours of time – and help you get your lawn exactly the way you want it to look.

May 31, 2018 by vietnamnews Leave a Comment
GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories — Calm returned to the Gaza Strip and nearby Israeli communities on Wednesday after the worst military flare-up since a 2014 war raised fears of yet another full-blown conflict in the beleaguered Palestinian enclave. At the United Nations, envoy for the Middle East Nickolay Mladenov warned the Security Council that the escalation showed "how close to the brink of war we are every day." The exchange of fire on Tuesday and into the early hours of Wednesday began with a barrage of rocket and mortars into Israel from Gaza. Israel said it targeted some 65 militant sites in the Gaza Strip. It also said around 100 rockets and mortars fired from Gaza either exploded in Israel or were intercepted by air defences. Three Israeli soldiers were wounded, one moderately and two lightly, the military said. There were no reports of casualties in Gaza. Late Tuesday, an Islamic Jihad spokesman said a ceasefire had been reached, and on Wednesday senior Hamas … [Read more...] about Calm returns after most severe Israel-Gaza flare-up in years

UN Security Council hears Gaza restraint calls
March 30, 2018 by robert Leave a Comment
The U.N. Security Council heard fears of a further escalation in Israeli-Palestinian violence in the GazaStrip during emergency talks Friday despite a failure to agree a joint statement on deadly clashes. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also called for an "independent and transparent investigation" and reaffirmed "the readiness" of the world body to revitalize peace efforts, a spokesperson said. Kuwait requested the meeting to discuss the unraveling situation in Gaza, where Palestinians said Israeli fire killed 16 people in the conflict's deadliest single day since the 2014 Gaza war. "There is fear that the situation might deteriorate in the coming days," said assistant U.N. secretary general for political affairs, Taye-Brook Zerihoun, urging maximum restraint. Britain and the United States expressed regret that the timing of the meeting - the first night of Passover - meant Israeli officials could not attend.

NGC 1383 est une galaxie lenticulaire située dans la constellation de l'Éridan. Sa vitesse par rapport au fond diffus cosmologique est de , ce qui correspond à une distance de Hubble de . NGC 1383 a été découverte par l'astronome britannique John Herschel en 1835.

À ce jour, trois mesures non basées sur le décalage vers le rouge (redshift) donnent une distance de , ce qui est à l'extérieur des valeurs de la distance de Hubble.

Groupe de NGC 1359 et de NGC 1407
NGC 1383 fait partie du petit groupe de galaxies de NGC 1359. Ce groupe renferme au moins trois autres galaxies : NGC 1359, NGC 1393 et ESO 548-32 (UGCA 077). Le groupe de NGC 1359 fait partie de l'amas galactique de l'Éridan. Ce même groupe est aussi mentionné dans un article publié par A.M. Garcia en 1993, mais elle ne compte que trois membres et la galaxie NGC 1359 n'y figure pas, car Garcia le place dans le groupe de NGC 1407. On y retrouve une autre galaxie, soit ESO 548-79.

On March 25, FASB issued a revised proposal to amend the disclosure rules under income tax accounting so that financial statement users can receive more relevant information about those items. The revised exposure draft reflects changes introduced by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The proposal would remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant and add more detailed disclosure requirements identified as relevant. For example, companies would have to disclose income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit and before intra-entity eliminations, disaggregated between domestic and foreign. They would also have to provide information about income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations, disaggregated between federal, state, and foreign. Moreover, companies would need to disclose income taxes paid disaggregated between federal, state, and foreign. The board is seeking comments on the proposal by May 31.
The Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF), the body with oversight for FASB and the GASB, has launched a search for candidates to help with the oversight and process of accounting standards setting. The organization, currently at 18 members, is seeking to fill upcoming vacancies on its board with senior leaders in the investment profession, the FAF said on March 18. New trustees would serve five-year terms that would begin on January 1, 2020; nominations are due by April 19. Advisory seats have also opened for the chairman role of the Financial Accounting Standards Advisory Council (FASAC) and members of the Private Company Council (PCC), the announcement states. The FASAC is FASB's main body of advisers on issues related to projects on its agenda, possible new agenda items, project priorities, and procedural matters. There are currently 34 FASAC members, appointed for a one-year term and eligible to be reappointed for three additional one-year terms. Nominees should be senior finance or accounting executives, such as a controller, chief accounting officer, chief financial officer, or a senior leader in the audit profession with experience working and interacting with public or private company boards of directors, the FAF said.
The Financial Accounting Standards Advisory Council (FASAC), FASB's main body of advisers, will hold discussions at its upcoming meeting on March 29 about issues that could emerge in the accounting for high inflationary economies. The topic is being raised during a time of increased foreign exchange rate volatility, with some countries holding multiple exchange rates and experiencing high inflation. FASB does not currently have a project on its agenda to tackle the topic of high inflationary economies. The existing GAAP standards on the subject are found under Topic 830, "Foreign Currency Matters," which was first issued in 1981. It provides a model for reporting when an entity conducts transactions in more than one currency.


20th August 2009, Colombo, Sri Lanka: The Executive Director of the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA), Dr. Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu this morning received an anonymous death threat written in English, posted to his residence. According to the contents of the letter, Dr. Saravanamuttu WILL (emphasis in original) be killed because Sri Lanka stands to be deprived of the European Union's GSP Plus benefits in October, with resultant job losses, due to information supplied by Dr. Saravanamuttu to Ms. Benita Ferrero-Waldner, the EU's Commissioner for External Relations. A scanned copy of both the letter and the post-marked envelope have been uploaded to our website – www.cpalanka.org.
We unreservedly deplore this despicable attempt at causing fear through the use of threats of physical harm, and through such acts, to stifle free expression, dissent and debate. We are equally concerned over the increasing emasculation of the civil society space for the discussion of public policy choices.
It is contemptible that CPA's position, held consistently and publicly with regard to the policy and legal issues involved in the extension of the GSP Plus scheme has been distorted so as to contrive a rationale for this letter.
CPA has consistently argued that the GSP Plus benefits MUST be renewed, and that Sri Lanka should use the opportunity to also strengthen its human rights protection framework by complying with international law. We regret that our constructive contribution to this public policy debate has been perversely distorted and deliberately misunderstood in some quarters.
Dr. Saravanamuttu and the CPA will be lodging complaints with the relevant authorities for speedy investigation and necessary remedial action in this matter.


Show us your love for Meeka by loving and favoriting the Save Meeka project.
This little darling got caught in a dog fight. She was seperated from her mother at two days old and we found her in an alley, trapped in a box. She is currently 1 week old, and needs lots of medical care. Her right eye was bleeding a ton, so we took her in.
Meeka's eye is infected. The dog who scratched her must've had rabies, because she has symptoms and a large bite mark on her hide.

ASCO Modifies Emesis Guideline
Options now include NEPA plus dexamethasone
MedpageToday
by Charles Bankhead Charles Bankhead, Staff Writer, MedPage Today November 04, 2015
Cancer patients treated with highly emetogenic chemotherapy should have the option of a three-drug anti-emetic regimen consisting of a neurokinin-1 inhibitor, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, and dexamethasone, according to a guideline update from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
The targeted update specifies the oral fixed-dose combination of netupitant and palonosetron (NEPA, Akynzeo), plus the steroid. The update is limited to the NEPA recommendation. Other recommendations in ASCO's guideline on antiemetic therapy remain in effect as described in a 2011 update, according to a report published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The recommendation came from an update committee that reviewed evidence from recent clinical trials and identified two phase III trials, and a phase II trial, that demonstrated the superiority of NEPA plus dexamethasone over palonosetron plus dexamethasone for managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, according to update committee chair Paul Hesketh, MD, of the Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Mass., and colleagues.
In one of the phase III trials, patients treated with an anthracycline plus cyclophosphamide were randomized to NEPA or palonosetron alone (Aloxi) on day 1 only. The trial had a primary endpoint of complete response (no emesis or rescue medication) during the delayed phase (25 to 120 hours) of the first cycle of chemotherapy.
The results showed complete response rates of 74% with NEPA and 67% with palonosetron overall (0 to 120 hours, P=0.001), including 77% versus 70% during the delayed phase (P=0.001) and 88% versus 85% during the acute phase (0 to 25 hours, P=0.047).
The secondary endpoints of no emesis, no significant nausea, and complete protection (complete response and no significant nausea) also favored the NEPA arm. The combination had a safety profile similar to that of palonosetron alone.
The second phase III trial compared the two-drug combination plus dexamethasone on day 1 and a 3-day regimen consisting of aprepitant (Emend), palonosetron, and dexamethasone across multiple cycles of highly or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. The trial excluded patients with breast cancer treated with an anthracycline and cyclophosphamide. The trial primarily addressed the safety profile of the combination, and investigators reported only descriptive statistics.
Overall, 413 patients completed 1,961 cycles of chemotherapy (76% moderately emetogenic), and 75% of patients completed at least four cycles of chemotherapy. The incidence and types of adverse events were similar in the two treatment groups. Complete response rates during cycle one were 81% with NEPA and 76% with the control regimen. Antiemetic efficacy was maintained in both groups during subsequent cycles of chemotherapy.
The phase II trial was designed to determine the optimal dose of netupitant to include in the fixed-dose combination with palonosetron. The trial involved 619 patients with various solid tumors treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The patients were randomized to three different doses of netupitant paired with palonosetron or to the 5-HT3 antagonist alone. The results showed complete response rates of 87% to 89% with NEPA versus 77% with palonosetron alone (P<0.050).
Cost-effectiveness analyses of NEPA have not yet become available, the authors of the update noted. Cost-effectiveness of NEPA vis-a-vis other antiemetic options will be evaluated in a planned comprehensive update of ASCO's guideline for antiemetic therapy. The existing guideline is available on the ASCO website.
Hesketh disclosed no relevant relationships with industry. One or more co-authors disclosed relationships with Amgen, Teva Pharmaceutical, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, Walgreens, Merck, Tesaro, Helsinn Therapeutics, Pro Strakan, AstraZeneca, Clovis Oncology, ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Genentech/Roche, Daiichi Sankyo, Threshold Pharmaceuticals, and Array BioPharma.

At about 2145 Eastern time, the airplane was substantially damaged when it impacted the ground in a residential area shortly after takeoff. Night visual conditions prevailed. The private pilot and one passenger were seriously injured; the other two passengers sustained minor injuries.


Several decades ago, after I had just joined a large computer company, I briefly dated a guy about 10 years older who was on the fast track to upper management. He was skinny and "wired", so full of nervous energy it was as if he had strong coffee in his veins. He was very bright and I enjoyed our conversations, and I think he liked it that I didn't defer to him automatically as many others did. I remember talking to him about relaxation, then him insisting he was relaxed. I was surprised — he didn't even know how wound up he was!
In this year-end time of introspection and formulating goals, thinking about further vision improvement for myself, I'm wondering if this corporate guy from my past might have been a mirror for me. How relaxed am I most of the time? I'm reminded of "Myopes can tolerate a high degree of discomfort". If I am uncomfortable, how aware am I of that fact?
With physical comfort in mind, I did an extended eye chart session last night. I quickly realized my spine was twisted since I wasn't facing the chart head-on, so corrected that. My feet were cold, so I put on a thicker pair of socks. My shoulders were slightly raised, not having relaxed completely from an earlier workout, so I consciously let them drop. I needed to pay similar attention to keeping my head over my spine and not in front of it, and softening the tension in my jaw, my brow, and around my eyes. Yes, I saw a slight improvement in visual acuity from all this, but more important was the learning. How much could I improve my vision, and my other functioning, if I was more relaxed more of the time?
I don't want to set myself a goal I can't measure my progress toward, and also might beat myself up about not achieving, so I'm not going to demand of myself that I be more relaxed. (And isn't trying to relax an oxymoron?) My intention in this area is to remain aware, as often as I remember, of how relaxed I am. That's it. If I notice I'm not as relaxed as I'd like to be, I can then do what I need to to improve the situation.
For a couple of years now my vision has been hovering in the 20/50 range, plenty good enough in daylight for most things including driving, yet not as clear as I'd like. I guess it's so much better than it used to be, and it is so thrilling that I can function without that prison of spectacles, that I haven't pushed myself to improve further. Well, it's time to do that now. In the past month I've been fierce about making sure I'm getting enough sleep, not always easy with the extra holiday responsibilities. Now I'm upping my game further to add more awareness, specifically of my comfort level.
One quick easy way to check how comfortable I am is my breathing. When my behavioral optometrist taught me how to see the Magic Eye 3D pictures, I noted that when the hidden picture came into focus for me, my breathing deepened and slowed. It was so relaxing to feel myself expand into this vast beyond-type space! On the other hand, when I'm nervous or rushing, my breathing is fast and a bit shallow. Last night during that exploratory chart session, I also felt my breathing deepen as I relaxed different parts of my body more fully.
As a child I was in "emergency mode" most of the time, probably not relaxed at all. An elementary school teacher called me Twinkletoes, since I was always on my tiptoes, ready to flee at a moment's notice. I also used to sit right on the edge of my chair, again ready to flee, and she once tipped the chair forward unexpectedly so I fell on the floor, I guess trying to break me of this habit. I probably made HER nervous! Now I feel like it's safe to relax, that I don't have to constantly be on High Alert. Maybe eventually I'll be able to be very relaxed and very alert at the same time, like a martial arts warrior. For now I'll settle for being mostly relaxed, mostly alert, and seeing better than ever.
