And we won’t always have advanced notice or we’ll have the same notice as everyone else and there will be a mad dash to the grocery stores and pharmacies, with a good chance that what you need will be something the stores are all out of.
1. How to Stop Bleeding
You need to know the difference between venous and arterial bleeding.
If blood doesn’t coagulate, that means the patient is suffering from liver problems and you can’t expect that bleeding to stop, it will continue forever or until the patient bleeds out. If you suffer from liver problems, if you have clotting problems, or if you’re a patient on anticoagulation medication, you should wear some sort of medical ID that will let first responders know that; it could mean the difference between living and dying.
How to stop a large vessel bleeding? You clamp it with a clamp, you put a thread behind it, and then you tie it up. After you perform the surgical knot, you release the clamp. If more blood flows, that means that you didn’t do it right. If no blood flows, that means that you’ve done it properly, but you should still tie another one as backup.
Practice these things in advance, on a leg of pork for example.
You need to differentiate between a new and an old wound. In the first 8 hours, the wound is new and you have many treatment options. Everything over 8 hours is considered old. Old wounds are no longer stitched and are no longer closed, no matter how big they are. The body heals without the stitches or closing, but it takes more time, perhaps even months. Still, they will close, with the only condition that they remain clean.
You can get these from the hospital and from environments that you usually come in contact with, especially through fecal-oral or fecal contamination, namely from your own stool. Germs are everywhere so the takeaway lesson here is that if you get a wound, get it treated immediately in order to have the best treatment options and prognosis.
Burns are cleansed with a commercial wound cleaner that comes in a spray bottle and should be in your stockpile. The idea is to get off any debris or ash from the burn and to prepare it for covering with bacitracin and gauze.
Take the suture holder in hand. It looks like a scissors but has a pointed device for clamping the needle in its jaws.
Hold the handle in your hand like a scissors but don’t put your fingers in the holes. Clamp the curved needle in the holder about halfway along the curve.
Use the curve to your advantage as you connect one side of the wound to the other. When you’ve made one stitch, tie it in a knot, sparing as much suture as possible. Then cut the suture so the sutured knot is about an eighth of an inch long above the knot. Continue every quarter inch or so, making individual knots until the wound edges are approximated. Do your best when it comes to flap lacerations, curved or jagged cuts. There is only so much you can do.
You can place Steri strips half a centimeter apart or you can lay them side by side. The scar looks nice and you don’t have any stitch holes to scar. You can stock up on as many steri strips as you want because they’re not expensive (less than $2) and you can clean on top of them afterwards.

Don’t ever use a wet dressing, because bad bacteria love having a hot and humid environment and nourishment. If the bacteria have these 3 things, they multiply like hell and then infect the wound. That’s why you stop the bleeding, because blood is their development medium; it has all the goodies that bacteria need to feed on.
The biggest danger of a wound is to reach the necrotizing fasciitis phase (fascial necrosis).  Bacteria that is commonly anaerobic (it doesn’t need oxygen to feed) enters and finds a patient who has a poor immune system. This could happen for several reasons: liver issues, obesity, diabetes AIDS, alcoholism, or maybe the patient is old and no longer has as much immunoglobulin.
In conclusion, keep the wound clean. You don’t have to build a German Panzer on top of it; you don’t need a tank of a dressing. Keep it aerated and clean, and as long as it’s clean, it heals on its own. Look at the wound the next day and check to see if it’s okay before you wash it and remove all the dead or black tissue. It shouldn’t hurt, nor bleed. If it bleeds and it hurts that means it’s alive, so you don’t have to cut it off.

Your description of arterial and venous blood is reversed. You have the color correct but it is arterial blood that spurts, venous blood oozes.
Survivopedia | January 21, 2016
We missed it, but we fixed it. Thank you for noticing!
Paul | January 21, 2016
Whatever change you made, now the colors are wrong. Arterial blood is bright red and oxygenated, venous blood is darker and not oxygenated.
Ted | January 21, 2016
I think there is a misprint in section one – Arterial blood gushes, venal blood does not. At least that is what I was taught. Please correct me if I am wrong
Thank you for noticing the error! We fixed it.

Super glue will work in place of stitches.

Some things you might add.
In a survival situation, you may not have the things that you have talked about.
Look for cobwebs or spider nets as a form of bandage. Penicillin comes from mouldy bread. Think poultice. Mouldy cheese is good too.
The military is taught that boiled honey poured on a wound while it is quite hot works well to prevent infection. A strong solution of sugar and water also works, if the honey is not available; think rock candy. They are also taught that urinating on yourself eliminates foot and other fungi. In Vietnam, quite a long time ago, Super Glue was used to close wounds.
If you have an infection, apply maggots as they will eat all of the infected flesh leaving the healthy flesh alone.
Does anyone wonder how all of those Pioneers made it across the Western US in Conestoga Wagons? They went from water hole to water hole or stream or river and did not die of dysentery. Were they just hardier than we are? Or did they have an instruction that saved their collective asses? The answer is, of course, they were all told to put a silver dollar in each of their water barrels. What the hell, that was in the 1850s to 1880s, long before electrolysis and colloidal silver; how did this work?
The oxygen in the water is attracted to the silver to make silver-oxide (Tarnish), but because it is in water, the silver oxide is suspended in the water. So…If you want easy to make, free, potable water, just put a silver coin or cross or ring or necklace into a water container 12 hours before drinking.
Army Rangers are given a canteen that is silver plated on the inside. Their instructions for use was to take any water source, put it in the canteen, shake the water, put the canteen in the sun for 30 minutes, shake it again, and then the water was safe to drink. That included safety from bacteria and parasites.
This silver solution is wonderful sprayed on for topical infections and taken internally to address any bacterial or viral infection including antibiotic resistant strains like MRSA and Flesh Eating Bacteria.
In ancient times, silver coins were filed into wounds of important people; the silver filings were thought to prevent infection.
poorman | January 24, 2016
I am told the term Blue Bloods refers to the fact that the rich ate with silver cutlery and this caused them to ingest small amounts of silver which kept them healthy.
MICHELLE MOWERY | January 21, 2016
KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID IS ALWAYS THE SAFEST WAY TO GO. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING CLEAN THE WOUND WITH SOAP AND WATER AND RINSE WELL. CLEANSE WITH PEROXIDE TO KILL GERMS. BETADINE SWABS ARE GREAT FOR CLEANING THE INJURY. SURGICAL STRIPS ARE WONDERFUL AND SIMPLE TO USE AND ARE VERY EFFICIENT. GET THEM NOW IF YOU DON’T HAVE THESE ITEMS. BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.DO NOT ATTEMPT SURGICAL PROCEDURES IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT..GET TO A DOCTOR ASAP IN ALL CASES IF THE INJURY IS SEVERE. DON’T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

In my practice is treat wounds every day. The key to healing is a low carb diet and regular debridement (cutting off the dead stuff)

You mention washing the wound. I assume you are using boiled water. In a SHTF situation, your water supply may not make you sick when you drink it, but could still carry some nasty little bacteria that your stomach acid handles, but that would thrive in a wound.
I remember when I was a kid (65 years ago) a wound dressing was often removed so the wound could “breath” for a few hours each day. Usually that would be right before the fresh dressing was applied. Was that a good idea? Or would the environment have a lot to do with what kind of airborne bacteria might be floating around?
BTW, thank you. Great article.
You should never wipe a burn. You pat a burn.

I keep cayenne pepper powder handy and put on cuts and bruises. The heat from the pepper draws more white blood cells to the area so that healing occurs faster. After a day or two, I then put cold pressed caster oil on the wound. The caster oil goes into the skin to the underlying area where new cells are formed, so that good new cells will form instead of scar tissue. The cayenne methods were used by Native Americans.
Sharon Devin | January 26, 2016
Cayenne pepper also stops bleeding. I had an incident where a girl at my house cut her hand badly on a glass she was holding as she collapsed from the heat. My son applied pressure to her wrist to stop bleeding while I dumped a bunch of cayenne pepper into cold water and we put her hand in the water keeping the pressure up. After awhile we pulled her hand out of the water and removed the pressure. Her hand did not bleed anymore all the way to the Hospital ER until the doctor examined the wound and opened it up. They had to call a surgeon to close the wound. We keep cayenne in the car now and on camping trips!

This article doesn’t read like it was written by a surgeon. I’d have been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt since English probably isn’t his native language, if it wasn’t for his completely ignoring delayed primary closure and that wet-to-dry dressings should never be used.
Charlie | January 23, 2016
Very good article I have a slight advantage over the public at large. I am a retired paramedic/firefighter so medical supplies are one of my biggest preps. I stock more than my family will hopefully ever need. There are several reasons for this they can be bartered, used for others in our group, and one of the most important is having medical knowledge can go a long way twords keeping you and your family safe from others in a shtf situation ” don’t bite the hand that feeds you”. Other than my b o b I always Carry a fully stocked medical jump kit in whatever vehicle I’m in. The biggest expense I have found is keeping I V supplies stocked and in date. I am fortunate that I have some friends still working in the field so I can usually trade my supplies that are nearing expiration for new ones.
The most important things to remember in trauma is if it’s bleeding make it stop, and keep it clean. If it’s crooked and it shouldn’t be straighten it and keep it straight. If it’s moving and it shouldn’t stop it and don’t let it move again. One saying I have is air goes in and out blood goes round and round any deviation from this is a very bad thing and must be fixed. A couple of things I would change about the article is that arterial bleeding spurts not venous, venous bleeding oozes.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE September 1, 2009
Calgary Alberta, September 1, 2009 Tuscany Energy LTD (TUS - TSX-V)9.
Tuscany has taken two significant steps to position the Company for future growth. To provide capital to finance the development of its oil prospects in Saskatchewan the Company had taken the following steps:
. On August 19, 2009 Tuscany announced a Rights Offering to provide up to $500,000 of additional working capital;
. Concurrently, the company announced an arrangement agreement to acquire Goldmark Minerals Ltd, through the issue of 12.2 million Tuscany shares which, if successful, will provide Tuscany with up to $1.3 million of additional working capital, and
. Tuscany has successfully negotiated its line of credit at $3.0 million.
To provide the capital required to continue development of the Company's assets, and to manage our debt levelRights Offering wherebypurchase one additional Tuscany common share for each four shares currently owned at a price of $0.06 per share. If fully subscribed, this Rights Offering will net the Company $500,000 of new financing. The offering will close on October 1, 2009.
The Board has also unanimously approved a transaction whereby Tuscany will acquire the assets of Goldmark Minerals Ltd., consisting mainly of $1.4 million of working capital, through the issue of 12.2 million shares, subject to the approval of the Goldmark shareholders at a Goldmark shareholder's meeting anticipated to be held in early in October 2009.
Production, revenue and cash flow for both the six months and the three-months ending June 30, 2009 were lower than for the same periods in 2008. The reduced production results primarily from a year over year decline in natural gas production at Wildwood and Evesham as flush production from wells declined. Oil production showed a small increase for the six months ended June 30, 2009, however Q2 2009 oil production was lower than anticipated due to a number of factors:
. The Evesham Dina horizontal well stabilized at a lower rate than the initial flush production. The well is producing at a rate of 45 Bbls/d at the end of August, 2009. Tuscany plans to construct water injection facilities and increase the total fluid production in order to increase oil production from the well and to prepare for additional wells,
. Oil production from the Evesham Sparky pool was also lower than anticipated as a result of the Company's decision to minimize well workovers and planned recompletions during the period of low oil prices in the first quarter of 2009. A program consisting of 4 workovers and 3 recompletions commenced in Q3 2009 with a successful recompletion of an oil well adding 13 Bbls/d to Tuscany at the end of August 2009, and
On a positive note oil prices have recovered since the end of Q1 2009, and we are particularly pleased with the relatively high prices being paid for the Company's heavy oil production. This is particularly relevant to the Company as 85% of Tuscany's revenue is generated from Oil and NGL sales.
Energy prices commenced to diverge in Q2 2009, with gas prices falling and oil prices recovering. Oil prices rebounded in the last few months and we are particularly pleased with prices received for heavy oil production. Better oil prices are somewhat offset by a virtual collapse in natural gas prices. However, Tuscany is primarily an oil producer with 85% of the Company's revenue in the first half of 2009 coming from oil and NGLs.
The Company has also streamlined staff and has arranged to reduce General and Administrative cost by utilizing, on a part time basis, support staff employed by a related company.
The Board of Tuscany believes growth for Tuscany shareholders lies in:
. Restored oil production from existing wells,
. Increased production from a potential Dina pool development program,
. Sustained higher oil prices,
. Improved natural gas prices,
. Lower operating and General and Administrative costs and,
. New financial strength from the announced financial transactions

La costumbre de coronar las edificacione scon una decoración vegetal se remonta a la antigüedad griega como demuestra el remate de la techumbre de la Linterna de Lisícrates en Atenas formado por un grumo de hojas de acanto.
Los arquitectos de la Edad Media emplearon esta decoración con mucha frecuencia en la coronación de pináculos y ápices. Si se sigue con atención el desarrollo y marcha de tal tema decorativo en dicha época, se observará que los florones empezaron por ser un conjunto de hojas y yemas a veces terminadas con cabezas humanas. Luego, los pistilos de las flores fueron los modelos que escogieron los escultores y estos pasaron más adelante a la imitación de la hoja abierta o desarrollada del todo.

Out of the Ether: A Running Backs Coach
So… Who is James Saxon? Saxon was a 1988 draft pick for the Kansas City Chiefs, for whom he played 4 seasons. He then moved on to Miami for 3 and ended his career as a running95.
Saxon has had various coaching jobs in the NFL forKansas City Chiefs from 2001 – 2007 and spent the last 3 seasons with the Miami Dolphins, who let him go after the 2010 season ended. Under his tutelage, 8 players have been named to the Pro Bowl over the last 10 years.
Now Saxon will be working with our own Pro Bowler, Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart in his sophomore season. Like Bieniemy, Saxon is a graduatere isn’t a lot of information about Saxon’s coaching philosophy. I’m sure we all saw the video of Eric Bieniemy working with Adrian Peterson and his patience, allowing blocks to develop between the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
Will Saxon have a similar approach? That remains to be seen. But the pressure will be on given Leslie Frazier’s desire to produce a run-first offense. Saxon will need to work closely with OC Bill Musgrave and Offensive Line coach Jeff Davidson in order to produce a high-powered running offense for 2011.

They’re lobbying for Ukraine pro bono – and making millions from arms firms
Some of Washington’s most powerful lobbyists are providing their services to Ukraine for free, but they also have financial incentives for aiding the country
Wed 1 Mar 2023 06.00 EST Last modified on Fri 3 Mar 2023 16.02 EST – but at the same time, they are taking in millions in fees from Pentagon contractors who stand to benefit from the country’s war with Russia.
Following Russian president Vladimir Putin’s internationally condemned decision to invade Ukraine there was an outpouring of support to the besieged nation from seemingly every industry in America. But, arguably, one of the most crucial industries coming to Ukraine’s aid has been Washington’s powerful lobbying industry.
The invasion has led some of the lobbying industry’s biggest players to do the unthinkable – lobby for free. While the influence industry may have altruistic reasons for representing Ukraine pro bono, some lobbying firms also have financial incentives for aiding Ukraine: they’ve made millions lobbying for arms manufacturers that could profit from the war.
The surge in pro-bono Ukraine lobbying
US law requireses of their relationship under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (Fara). Twenty-five registrants have agreed to represent Ukrainian interests pro bono since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Before the war, just 11 Fara registrants were working on behalf of Ukrainian interests.
“I don’t recall a comparable surge in pro-bono work for any foreign principal,” said David Laufman, a partner at the law firm Wiggin and Dana, who previously oversaw Fara enforcement at the justice department.
Many of these new pro-bono Ukrainian lobbyists are pushing for greater US military support for the Ukrainian military. As one registrant explained in a Fara filing, they intend “to lobby members of the US government to increase US Department of Defense spending on contracts related to equipment and other efforts which will aid the ability of the Ukrainian military to succeed in its fight against the Russian military”.
While many of these pro-bono lobbyists may be doing this work purely out of solidarity with Ukraine, some of the firms working free of charge for Ukraine have an added incentive.
Before winning the speakership in the new Republican Congress, Representative Kevin McCarthy warned that Republicans wouldn’t approve a “blank check” for Ukraine aid once they took power. But, just last week the GOP’s biggest fundraiser agreed to provide pro-bono assistance in loosening Congress’s purse strings when it comes to Ukraine.
On 16 February, former senator Norm Coleman, senior counsel with the law firm Hogan Lovells, filed Fara paperwork revealing that he is pro-bono lobbyist for a foundation controlled by the Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk. Coleman oversaw the raising and spending of over $260m in funds supporting Republican.

Coleman, who has extensive experience as a lobbyist for foreign interests via his longstanding role as an agent for Saudi Arabia, was already busy at work for Ukraine. Emails from 4 February disclosed as part of Coleman’s Fara disclosures, revealed him requesting assistance from senators Lindsey Graham and Thom Tillis’s chiefs of staff in hosting an event at the Capitol “ of the horrific loss of life and the tragic agony that the people of Ukrain as a direct result of Russian war crimes” and “do as much as possible to ensure continued, strong, bipartisan support for the truly heroic efforts that this administration and Congress have made to provide the essential military and economic assistance to Ukraine”.
While Hogan Lovells conducts this work pro bono, two of the firm’s paying clients, Looking Glass Cyber Solutions and HawkEye 360, have extensive defense department contracts and an interest in the conflict in Ukraine.
Looking Glass, which paid Hogan Lovells $200,000 in 2022, hold “to provide tailored cyber threat intelligence data and enhance the mission effectiveness of US military cyber threat analysts and operators” and writes on its website about the role of such threats in Russia’s military strategy.
HawkEye 360, which also paid $200,000 to Hogan Lovells in 2022, similarly is a defense department contractor, specializing in detection and geolocation of radio signals. Their detection network conducted analysis in Ukraine and their website boasts of identifying GPS interference in Ukraine, appearing to be part of Moscow’s “i”.
BGR Government Affairs (BGR), a lobbying and communications firm, began working pro bono for two Ukrainian interests last May. The contracts are with Vadym Ivchenko, a member of Ukraine’s parliament, and Elena Lipkivska Erguly.
In 2022 BGR made more than half a million dollars lobbying for Pentagon contractors, some of whom are already profiting from the Ukraine war. Raytheon, for example, which paid BGR $240,000 to lobby on its behalf in 2022, according to OpenSecrets, has already been awarded more than $2bn in government contracts related to the Ukraine war.
Indeed, two days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a BGR adviser was publicly callingPutin’s“Militarily, the United States and Nato allies need to get far more serious about helping Ukraine defend itself,” wrote Kurt Volker, BGR senior adviser and former US Nato ambassador,Cepa).
His article, “Buckle Up: This is Just the First Step”, was promoted on the BGR website. Cepa did not disclose Volker’s BGR affiliation in the article.
“BGR has no conflict of interest and is proud of its work on behalf of Ukraine and all of its clients,” said BGR’s president, Jeffrey H Birnbaum, in a statement responding to questions about whether their work posed any such conflict.
Mercury Public Affairs (Mercury), a lobbying, public affairs and political strategy consultancy, began working pro bono for GloBee International Agency for Regional Development (“GloBee”), a Ukrainian NGO, in mid-March 2022. The firm made headlines for agreeing to work for a Ukrainian client pro bono. The firm’s Fara filing later in the year shows that Mercury’s work consisted of sending just four emails on Globee’s behalf in the first three and a half months of this arrangement.
Mercury, like BGR, was also working on behalf of Pentagon contractors in 2022, while working for a Ukrainian client pro bono. All told, Mercury reported being paid more than $180,000 for lobbying on behalf of Pentagon contractors in 2022.
Mercury’s work for a Ukrainian client is also notable because before the Ukraine war the firm had, for years, been working on behalf of Russian interests. This work included lobbying on behalf of Russia’s Sovcombank, as well as a Russian energy company founded by the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. Deripaska was recently implicated in a scheme to violate US sanctions, which included payments to a former FBI agent that had previously investigated him. Mercury dropped both of these Russian clients when the Ukraine war began, but not before earning nearly $3m from these Russian interests in the five years before the firm agreed to work for a Ukrainian client pro bono, according to Fara filings.

On 29 April 2022 Navigators Global, which describes itself as an “” firm, registered under Fara to represent thefirm’s Fara filing, they reached out to dozens of key members of Congress on behalf of the Ukrainian parliament – including eight phone calls, texts and emails with McCarthy – and contacted the House and Senate armed services committees two dozen times.
As Navigators Global was doing this pro-bono lobbying of the policymakers in Congress with, arguably, the greatest sway over US military assistance to Ukraine, the firm was also raking in revenue from Pentagon contractors. Specifically, in 2022 Navigators Global made $830,000 working on behalf of defense contractors, according to lobbying data compiled by OpenSecrets. The firms’ lobbying filings also show that their work for these contractors was directed, among other issues, at the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act, the defense policy bill that increased spending on the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative by half a billion dollars.
Navigators26 August 2022 Ogilvy Group, a giant advertising and public relations agency, registered under Fara to work with the mi on the ministry’s Advantage Ukraine Initiative. The initiative’s website describes it as the “Investment initiative of the Government of Ukraine”. The top listed investment option is Ukraine’s defense industry. Ogilvy is joined in this endeavor by fellow Fara registrants Group M and Hill & Knowlton Strategies, as well as the marketing company Hogarth Worldwide, which has not registered under Fara.
While the Ogilvy Group spread “the message that Ukraine is still open for business”, as its statement of work with the ministry explains, Ogilvy Government Relations was lobbying for Pentagon contractors who paid the firm nearly half a million dollars in 2022. These two Ogilvy organizations are technically separate entities. They are owned by the same parent company, WPP.
At least one of the contractors that Ogilvy Government Relations lobbies for, Fluor, would appear to directly benefit from increased US military support for Ukraine and heightened US military presence in Europe more generally. In 2020, the US army’s seventh army training command awarded Fluor with a five-year Logistics Support Services contract, which a Fluor spokesman explained, “positions Fluor for future work with the US European Command and the US Africa Command headquarters located in Germany”. Fluor paid Ogilvy Government Relations $200,000 for lobbying in 2022, according to OpenSecrets.

As the war in Ukraine heads into its second year, US defense spending continues to balloon. Weapons and defense contractors received nearly half – $400bn – of the $858bn in the 2023 defense budget.
“There’s high demand for weapons to transfer to Ukraine and to replenish shrinking US stockpiles … contractors are seeing billions of dollars in Ukraine-related contracts.” said Julia Gledhill, who investigates defense spending at the government watchdog the Project On Government Oversight.

Siemian’s first look was into the flat at the top of the screen, but Ross Cockrell covered Bennie Fowler well. Siemian is at the top of his drop and no one is open. Eli Apple and Landon Collins have Virgil Green bracketed at the bottom of the screen. Janoris Jenkins has Jordan Taylor covered at the top of the screen. Andrew Adams is all over Demaryius Thomas in the middle of the field. Keenan Robinson has C.J. Anderson covered in the flat. Siemian will scramble and complete a pass to Thomas in tight coverage in the middle of the field to the five-yard line
2nd and Goal at the 5 yard line
Siemian makes a mistake and tries to hit Taylor on a slant run underneath of Fowler. Cockrell avoids the traffic and is all over Taylor, forcing the incompletion. You can see Fowler has Apple beat to the back corner of the end zone and Thomas has room running underneath of Taylor. Cockrell makes a nice play to force third down.
3rd and goal at the 5 yard line
The Broncos try to play power football on fourth down, and C.J. Anderson finds room off the left side. Janoris Jenkins is the unblocked defender, and he does a great job of getting low and meeting Anderson in the hole. He stops him long enough for the rest of his teammates to come over and prevent the touchdown. Turnover on downs. </s> Just a very quick one as i have been messing about with the Lego (again).

RIVERSIDE COUNTY: Report finds potential…
f’s Department, DA’s office
Of that, $40 million is for new, mandatory jail health care costs tied to a lawsuit settlement. Revenues are only projected to grow by $15 million.
After the county sent out a press release Thursday, March 24, with the audit details, the Sheriff’s Department sent a statement blasting County CEO Jay Orr.
As elected officials, have wide latitude to run their departments. But the Board of Supervisors controls their budgets, and supervisors have expressed a desire to contain public safety costs.
Also Tuesday, the board will consider whether to pay KPMG up to $15.7 million over two years. KPMG also could get another $2.7 million to review operations in other county departments.
“We ought to be using other resources rather than, for every type of call, sending out a sworn deputy,” McDonnell said. According to the report, 68 percent of calls for police in 2015 were of a non-emergency nature.
The report, McDonnell said, also looks at how patrols and jails are staffed. KPMG recommends changing staffing so that more deputies and corrections officers are available when they are most needed and fewer are working during less-busy times, McDonnell said.
The department’s statement also said the recommended changes “are ongoing management processes that have already been in place, to this very day for many years.”
“Assuming the Board gives KPMG the green light, we’ll get much more detailed recommendations in the coming months,” he said in an e-mail. “ I appreciate the Sheriff’s passion for public safety and his participation in this process and (am) glad to hear of his confidence in KPMG.”

I have this list. Call it a bucket list, list of things to do while I’m alive, life goals, “beginning with the end in mind” (a la Franklin Covey), whatever.
And somewhat prioritized. I have a vague sense of which things are more important to me than others, and I use that when making decisions. Like where to spend my money first, and how to allot my time.
Sometimes, I even stick to those decisions. 😉
I’m always telling my kids to focus their energies on the things that make them happy. I blabber on about the importance of doing the things that really matter to you, and not putting them off (taking into account personal responsibilities and fiscal soundness, of course).
So, it’s funny when my son throws it back at me.
Visiting Machu Picchu has been on my list since I was ten.
Invariably when we discuss foreign languages and how well they’re doing in French class, I lament that I’m still not fluent in my chosen language of study: German. Well, the other day, my son said, “Then you just need to make it a priority and work on it, Mom.”
Which is when I realized that while I really do want to master German, it can’t compete with some of the other things on my list. At least not right now.
I’ve decided to devote my time to other things that I care even more about.
Now, someday, when I’m in a position to fulfill my “Live in Germany (or Austria)” list item, learning German will become a higher priority. I’ll have a reason to put some serious effort into it. And then some of the things I’m doing now will fall aside for a while.
I don’t want to languish with an unfilled wish list for the rest of my life, but I can’t do everything right now. It’s not a competition. It shouldn’t stress me out. It’s supposed to be fun.
So, I’m going to savor what I’ve done and am doing, and look forward to those things I’ve yet to accomplish. No stress, no guilt, no feelings of failure.
Or at the very least, I’ll add nurturing that attitude to the top of my list. 😉

I took two years of German in high school. I wish I remembered more than I do. I read that if you start reading in the language you want to learn, the patterns will start becoming familiar and eventually you’ll start learning the language. Of course, there will be words to look up but its a start. I’ve started downloading romance books in German to refresh my memory. Good luck with your list! And living on Germany has been on my list for about 25 years 😉
Melanie: I lived there as a kid, and took German in high school. Got really good at it, but never had a reason to use it, so I lost it. I go through bursts of energy where I read news articles online, go through a German text book, and so on, but the motivation isn’t as strong without good reason to learn other than “I want to be fluent.” Definitely need to live there again one of these days.
We spent the last year quite unexpectedly living in Berlin and even though I spoke no German at all when we arrived, the entire year was simply magical. I always assumed that my adult language of choice would be French (my parents’ native language and also what I studied in high school and college), but I absolutely fell in love with both the German language and the German people during our time there.
Now we’ve just as unexpectedly moved to the DC area, and as happy as I am to be back in a country where I speak the language fluently, I truly miss that immersion in a culture that was not my own but somehow became a part of me anyway (and yes, I’m already looking for German classes so I don’t forget all I worked so hard to learn). Go off on your German adventure as soon as you can, even if it’s just for a few weeks. I’m so grateful our family had that opportunity, and I can’t wait to see where we end up next.
Now I’m thinking I should start a life list, too. Thanks for the inspiration, and tschüss!
4 / Sep / 2013
Angele: What a great experience! I too love the German language and culture. Living there as a child had a profound impact on me, and I’ve been waiting years to go back. I did get in a quick visit a few years ago on a two-week tour of Europe, but it wasn’t enough.
Enjoy the DC area. We’re living there now for our second time, and we really like it, but I’m getting antsy to move on. 😉 Danke!
Bucket lists are wonderful. I saw the movie. To Do Lists keep me organized, more or less. Pursued long enough they can become the stuff of stunning resumes. Then one day, spinning off of the then popular “How To Get Control of your Time and Your Life, I decided to make a serendipity list. Stuff that just happened or showed up along the way that reminded me of the gift quality of life in general and my life in particular. The experience = satisfaction and no small amount of joy. It also cranked up enough energy for the next list.
After every “get it done” on my list now I make this entry — celebrate
Curtis: I love the serendipity list. Spontaneous fun is great too. I find that having a larger “big dreams” list helps me take advantage of those unexpected opportunities that arise (or decide if I even want to take them), but I’m always up for the unexpected adventures too. Definitely celebrate. 🙂 Good to see you!
When you FINALLY get back to a German speaking country, the language will come back to you. Within weeks of hearing it spoken, you will be so amazed at the words you suddenly “remember” That happened to me after 45 years. No kidding. It’s also helpful if you have someone to converse with. I didn’t and don’t so it wandered off again. You have bigger fish to fry now. My bucket is close to empty but I still want at least a 3-6 month stint in Germany one more time.
insearchofitall: I know you’re right. I used to get to a point where I could “feel” it. I was so close, but had no one to listen/talk to, and no Internet for easy access to German news and video. A 3-6 month stay in Germany would be awesome. Hope you get there! 🙂

Allergy to dust - a widely spread in recent years, the body's allergic reaction to the home dust present in each house, manifested by lacrimation, sneezing and runny nllergy to household dust is observed in about 40% of the world's population and often leads to various diseases of the respiratory tract and bronchial asthma.
Home dust allergists consider one of the most dangerous and common allergens, tk. in it often there is a huge quantity of various irritating components. And it's not just ordinary dust particles, but also microscopic particles of paint, pet hair, fluff, as well as viruses and bacteria. In addition, home dust is always invisible to the human eye tiny mites (their size 0.1-0.3 millimeters) of house dust - saprophytes that can cause a truly huge harm to human health. The greatest concentration of mites is observed in bedding, where the most optimal conditions for their possible reproduction and further development are created. Only in 1 gram of dust from a mattress or a pillow can be from 200 to 15000 mites! The immediate irritant are not bites of ticks (they do not bite a person), and their products of vital activity, which get into the body of a person sensitive to this allergen, cause a strong allergic reaction. Allergy to dust does not occur in people who are not susceptible to this particular allergen. In addition to ticks, mildew spores, cockroaches, animal hair and other irritants can often cause an allergic reaction.
To date, allocated about one hundred and fifty species of ticks, able to live in people's homes. Home dust mites are divided into three groups, with only ticks of the first group causing an allergy to dust. The first group includes some barn mites that live in places where food is stored - vegetables, flour, cereals and grains. The second group includes predatory dust mites, which feed on mites of the first group. The third group includes mites, which accidentally got into house dust. The second and third groups do not cause an allergy to dust.
Dust mites can safely exist even at sub-zero temperatures, it is almost impossible to remove them from soft furniture and carpets with a conventional vacuum cleaner, since in addition to their claws they emit a sufficiently sticky substance, thereby sticking to any surface. Inside the soft furniture mites can penetrate to a depth of up to thirty centimeters.
Some types of dust mites can cause professional allergic diseases in people working with their infected products - cheese dermatosis, grocery dermatosis, baker's dermatosis, etc.
Allergy to dust - symptoms
Dust allergies can manifest themselves differently, but any of its symptoms are very unpleasant and well marked. The most common dust allergy symptoms are similar to the pollen allergy symptomatology, itching and redness of the eyelids, tearing, itching in the nose, runny nose, skin rashes, bronchial asthma, sneezing, coughing and attacks of suffocation. Allergy to house dust accompanies a person regardless of the season throughout the calendar year, which with confidence allows you to exclude allergies to plants and various colds. Characteristic is the fact that in the case of a long absence in an apartment infected with ticks, the person's health improves noticeably and the symptoms fade. Below we will consider the most common symptoms of dust allergy:
• Allergic rhinitis (hay fever). This is not very difficult, but it is able to spoil the life of a person quite enough, a disease manifested by transparent discharge from the nose, sneezing, burning sensation and itching in the nasopharynx, headache and tearing. Rinit begins with a slight tickling in the nose and gradually develops into a painful continuous sneeze. In some cases, allergic rhinitis develops into such a serious disease as bronchial asthma. Virtually any allergen (food, mold, animal hair, etc.) can cause it, but the main culprit for the development of rhinitis is dust. After contact with the allergen, the response in the form of the appearance of the corresponding symptomatology usually develops almost instantaneously, but in some cases it may be slightly delayed. This occurs in the case of constant contact with a provoking allergen
• Conjunctivitis . This disease is a fairly common manifestation of allergy to dust. About 15% of the population at least once faced this problem. Conjunctivitis is characterized by a feeling of itching and / or burning in the eyes, reddening of the proteins, redness and swelling of the eyelids, lacrimation. Sometimes the vision may also suffer - the surrounding objects look "blurred". People who wear contact lenses suffer the most difficult conjunctivitis. The worst outcome of conjunctivitis is a severe corneal lesion
• Bronchial asthma . Ala, for example, in Russia for example, it suffers from every twelfth resident, and the dynamics of growth in recent years has become truly menacing. After the ingestion of an allergic stimulus in the respiratory tract, the immune defense begins to give a quick sharp rebuff to the foreign agent - the airways become inflamed, filled with thick mucus, and the muscles of the respiratory tract decrease sharply. To start an attack of allergic asthma is characterized by a dry, excruciating cough and a shortened rapid wheezing. In the chest feels a sense of heaviness, there is shortness of breath. Due to lack of breathing air, a person often has a panic condition. Allergic asthma in young children in severe cases can even lead to death, so if there is an allergy to dust in the child, immediate measures should be taken to treat it and further prevent it. Unfortunately very often doctors take asthma for usual bronchitis and accordingly appoint inadequate treatment that can only worsen the situation
In the event that all of the above symptoms are most pronounced in the morning and / or at night, and out of the room quickly disappear, the cause of this ailment is most likely in house dust. Appropriate adequate treatment can be prescribed only by the doctor an allergist, however it will not have the slightest effect if it does not qualitatively combat the original cause - home dust.
Treatment of allergy to dust should always have a comprehensive approach. First of all, the contact of the patient with the provoking allergen should be completely ruled out. This is the most difficult task, since it is impossible to remove mites from carpets or furniture with an ordinary vacuum cleaner. Particular attention should be paid to the bedroom - it is necessary to wear dustproof covers on mattresses. Pillows and blankets should be chosen with synthetic fillers, since they are not for propagation of ticks by a favorable medium. Bedding must be washed at high temperatures.
At least twice a week, you should vacuum and conduct in the room a quality wet cleaning. In order to reduce the humidity of the air (with increased humidity, household pliers accelerate), a dehumidifier or air conditioner should be used. Airing an apartment is also necessary regularly. In the case of a persistent allergy to dust, carpeting should be completely discarded, replacing them with vinyl or wood.
Treatment of allergy to dust is carried out using anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed by the allergist and antihistamines. In food should be present a large amount of vitamin C (citrus, greens, elder, currant, sweet pepper, etc.), which significantly reduces the increased susceptibility to allergens.
Well-proven methods of fighting dust:
• When cleaning the apartment and washing it in water, you should add tea tree oil
• Curtains and bed linens must be washed in hot water
• Floors during cleaning should be washed with salt solution, for ten liters of water, five tablespoons of salt
Allergy is very insidious able to manifest itself at any age of the disease. Disease, stress, lifestyle changes - all this significantly weakens immunity and often becomes the reason that until recently a completely healthy person suddenly becomes allergic. Therefore, the refusal to eat harmful products, smoking, qualified timely treatment, regular cleaning of the apartment and a healthy lifestyle will help successfully cope with the developed allergy to dust.


re not going to ask anybody -- there's no defense we have where we're going to ask guys to take two gaps. We're not going to ask guys to cover two men. We're not going to ask guys to be responsible for two zones. Just do your job and execute.
And so that's really what it boils down to. It's about us.
Q. Tre', the UCF team doesn't give up a lot of sacks and you guys are good at sacking the quarterback. What has shown up on film and how do you plan to attack their offensive line?
Q. Obviously you guys have seen the comments made by Adrian Killins about the SEC has not seen the speed that UCF has. How taken aback were you with those comments and was that maybe something to wake you guys up after losing in the SEC Championship Game?
Q. Is that something you would use in a bulletin-board type setting? Do you still have bulletin boards?
KEVIN STEELE: No, we don't. We text them (laughter).
I actually have somebody do it for me but that's another story.
No, in this day and age with social media, and we're so equipped, I mean, there's a lot of things out there about everything. Some of it, you don't even know if it's true or not.
In terms of the players, they come in all shapes and sizes. I mean, in the course of a year, you're going to see every kind of running back from small, quick, to big, powerful.
So it's built -- there are certain things that make it a little more difficult with different guys, and obviously we're well aware of that, the quickness and the ability to make people miss in a very close area. But it's not -- it still comes back to applying technique and being responsible and accountable to your job. You can't just get into defending one guy. There's a lot of space out there.
KEVIN STEELE: I think externally -- and I don't want to get into a lecture about the philosophy on that -- but ta -- I don't know that; you'll have to speak for yourself. All the shift goes, if you don't make the Final four, then it's a bad year or you didn't accomplish what you -- and that's not -- that's not the way it's built internally. It's.
Q. Did you know Scott Frost when you coached at Nebraska and what did you learn under Tom Osborne at Nebraska?
KEVIN STEELE: I did know Scott. We recruited Scott when I was there. We had, I think Tommie was the quarterback at that time, Frazier, and he was a young quarterback. Scott went to Stanford, was there I think one year and then came back home. Scott's dad, mom, both coaches in Nebraska. So yes, I did know him, and when he came back, I was still there. Yes, I did know him.
Coach Osborne, we don't have enough time. It's more of a book than a press conference on what you learn from Coach Osborne. There's not a day that went by that you didn't learn something from Coach. Unbelievable man, great teacher, but I think probably the biggest thing was he had an uncanny ability to make every person in the room every day, every time he saw youand

Regardless of the state of the hotel and restaurant industries, a marketing plan can help you build a formal strategy to promote your hotel or restaurant to customers.
The executive summary should communicate your company's marketing goals. For example, for a hotel, one of your marketing goals may to "maintain a 65 per cent occupancy rate throughout the year." For a restaurant, one of your goals may be to "increase food and beverage sales by 25 per cent by the end of the third quarter." Ensure your goals have specific numbers that you can target and that will let you know whether or not you've accomplished those goals.
The situation analysis of a marketing plan should contain an internal and external analysis. For the internal analysis, describe your company's product and service offerings. Then,hotel or restaurant. The external analysis should include external conditions that affect your industry. For example, a slow economy might affect restaurant sales or the number of guests who stay at your hotel.
The marketing mix in your marketing plan includes the "four Ps" of marketing, which are product, price, place and promotion. "Product" means the types of food or drinks you serve at your restaurant or the products and services you offer at your hotel. "Price" refers to the pricing strategies for your restaurant or hotel. "Place" means you should describe the locations for your business and analyse their potential effect on your business's success. Finally, "promotion" refers to the marketing and promotional strategies and tactics you will use to spread the word about your hotel or restaurneed space to play, imagine and pretend. If you don't have enough room in your home to give your children a dedicated playroom, consider turning a closet into a kids-only play area. Even the smallest closet has plenty of room for your child's growing imagination.
- Child-size table and chair
Prepare the closet to become a kid space. Empty it out completely. Dust cobwebs out of the corners, sweep the floor and wipe the walls down. Make the space as clean as possible. Remove clothing rods and other hardware.
Paint the space, but before you do, allow the kids who will play in the space to help with the color selection. It does not need to be the same as the wall colors in the room, but it should at least coordinate. Bright colors work best because most closets do not have adequate lighting. If you have artistic ability, you can paint a mural on the back wall of the closet.
Determine whether or not you will replace the closet doors with curtains. Leaving the doors up will make the space usable as a closet. Removing the doors and hanging curtains in the doorway will allow light into the space and make it more inviting as a play area. Both options have merit, and either one will work.
Add toy storage to the closet space. Plastic crates can be stacked up to create color shelving. The closet's original shelving can be used to keep some toys out of reach so that the space stays organized.
- Don't clutter the space will too many toys or too much furniture. The space should give kids a chance to express their creativity through crafts and pretend play.

Terry Morton Announces That the Independent Financial Firm He Founded, Terry Morton Wealth Advisors, LLC Continues to Listen to Client’s Needs 1st & Then Offer Solutions – CBS79
With many years of practical industry experience, Mr. Morton transitioned his practice from a traditional people engagement process to a prospect and client centric process. In so doing, consulting in the areas of health, finances, and relationships take precedence over all else. According to Terry, “Anyone who meets with the firm will know their life situation is clearly the only motivation.”
He enjoys working with people and offering solutions to their financial issues based on their unique situation and goals. When working with an individual or a couple he says that he “asks questions and actively listens so I’m able to expand on certain things I hear. Everyone has a story to tell. We’re all human and we all wish to be listened to when we are in a situation where it is expected we will be listened to. I make certain people are listened to. I make sure their needs come first.”
At Terry Morton Wealth Advisors LLC, the process used is not based on finding products and services to fit a prospect but on asking questions and listening. Morton states, “Many times, I have had prospects, upon meeting me, ask me questions about fees and product performance. I usually ask where that question comes from. I help them understand that my industry has taught them that those are the questions they should ask. They are not. The questions that should be asked are those that have to do with them. What is important to them/him/her. It is of the utmost importance they understand it is about them. Not my products and services.”
A client can expect to learn to advocate for themselves and that problems will be solved in the process. According to Mr. Morton, “I want my prospects to know, even when working with me as a client, that they now understand what I do and what my industry does. I want them to know how it works. When they can advocate for themselves, about any issue, they become even better clients, and we have much deeper conversations that bring even more value.”
Recently a client came to Terry Morton Wealth Advisors, LLC who was unhappy about a product they had purchased using another advisor that was not working for them. Morton was able to exchange it without penalty into a series of products that met the client’s needs.
Finally, Morton states, “It is completely within expectation that if we ultimately don’t work together, you will still be able to tell me that I helped and that it was important that I did.”
Initially, Terry Morton entered the financial services as a Cost and Profitability Analyst in a corporate setting. Following 7 years as a People, Process, and Facility Manager, he was intrigued by both the management and corporate financial roles and made the decision to transition to the personal wealth arena in traditional banking and investment services. He spent the first 20 years working for a few of the US’s major banks in both the wealth and brokerage areas. Shortly thereafter, he worked for a non-banking large brokerage establishment. This last role inspired Mr. Morton to pursue becoming an Independent Wealth Management Business Owner, known as Terry Morton Wealth Advisors, LLC.

The video above is a classic FM 'In The Studio' from 2007. Back before the Swedish House Mafia were global superstars we bumped into Steve Angello in a Stockholm nightclub. He invited us to see his studio the next day.
 how and where Steve Angello produces. Below is an excerpt from the interview with Steve from that same session.
Steve angello pose
Slap bang in the middle of Stockholm, on the top floor of a building above a nightclub, lies what's commonly known as the best-sounding room in the city. Well, at least that's what the latest owner, Steve Angello, tells us. With enormous custom-built speakers that have been tuned to the room, the four massive 15-inch speakers pin you to the wall with every consecutive clockwise turn of the Mackie Big Knob.
It's a beautiful working environment but is painfully sparse for us FM gear freaks! Replacing the spot that used to hold a medium-sized mixing console are two massive Apple screens and an Edirol controller keyboard. Where rack gear was mounted now hangs looms of unpatched cables - it's a simple set-up from which Angello still produces a monstrous sound. After poking around the equally sparse live room and a delightfully Disco-style toilet (no, really) we get started with our chat and a bit of studio work on Angello's latest track.
Steve angello studio shot
"I don't want a sound that's created for me. If you know your tools, then you're the king of the studio."
"We met around 1999/2000 - through StoneBridge actually. There's quite a tight-knit scene here. Everyone knows everyone and there's no competition. There's something special here."
"I'm not into the mainstream thing. I just want to do my own thing, become one of the biggest DJs in the world and keep doing what I'm doing. I don't want to become a Pop icon; I'd rather be a guy who's still around in 15 years than be gone after two. Prydz and Axwell are two of the best producers in the world, so even though they have mainstream success, they'll still be around in years."
What were the biggest leaps in technology for you?
"I've got a PC at home and started to work on it for a while. I was with Logic 4.7 until only a year agowhen I got a Mac - I couldn't move on for ages! Logic is something I need in my life, I can't work without it. I've tried other DAWs but it just doesn't work. Just being able to run everything on a laptop is amazing. If you think about it, NASA used to run on about 4MB of speed and now I have a computer on my lap faster than the one that went to the moon.
What are you are your top plug-ins?
"I just use Logic's own. I want to make it as simple as possible. I want a basic sound that I can create myself.  I'm completely self-taught and I know what I need to know to get around."
What's your advice to make it big?
"Just keep doing what you love and working on what you believe in. Make the trends, don't follow them. Work your ass off and sit in the studio 24/7. And when you're happy with a track, send it everywhere. Most DJs own their own labels so it might be an idea to send it to them first."
How do you think your production style has developed over the years, and why do you think these changes have occurred?
"I think we've got a lot more into advanced productions - not that you can always hear it but just the way of doing stuff. For instance, if I want to get a sound I just make it, instead of looking for a preset. I think the main reason for this advancing is simply the amount of the time we spend in studios. You get bored of doing the same thing over again and I think people always look for new challenges."
Steve angello logic
"Everything to be honest! Well we've done so many things: big records, big remixes... We've remixed Justin Timberlake and Moby... Everything is a highlight. We just try and move on and create more highlights. I'm still enjoying every second and I'm also still learning from day to day. The gigs, the remixes, the productions and the travelling: it's just one big happy smile in my face every day."
What do you think the best method is for sustaining long-term popularity in the Dance Music Industry?
"Hard work, and lots of it! Just work hard and always make sure you put quality in front of quantity. It's really important - a lot of producers put too much time in just doing tunes and releasing them. I promise you not even half of the producers love every single track they make and release, and that's a shame because you can hear it. Just follow your heart and go for what you love."
