How to Survive College With Scholarship Money

By: Jeremy Smith For students that excel academically, getting a college scholarship is supposed to be a free ticket to a higher education with many advantages. They are told from the time they are in elementary school that if they go to school every day, do their homework, study hard and test well that they will earn a scholarship to college. While this is an excellent incentive for youngsters, they do not always understand how difficult it is to achieve. When the time comes, they find the hard work is just beginning. College scholarships are difficult to come by. The field is competitive. The money is restricted. It is hard to find scholarship money for the exact school that the student has their heart set on attending. Sometimes the dream does not come true.

Competition Academic scholarships are usually given to the smartest applicant with the best Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores and grade point average (GPA). Depending on the school’s size and comparable number of applicants, the competition for an academic scholarship may be so fierce that extremely intelligent students who are also good citizens and excellent athletes may not be considered for the funding. They are still welcome to attend, but may receive only some of the money or none at all.

Amount Scholarships are offered by educational institutions. While most of them are based on academics, there are certain schools which earmark athletic scholarships for their students. There are also special grant monies contributed by alumni to allow deserving co-eds to attend the university they loved so much. This is often not enough to cover tuition, books, activity fees and parking permits, as well as room and board. Many scholarship and grant students are not permitted to work while they are receiving the money. As a result, the cream of the crop of academia often find themselves in need of money for daily living. A private student loan is the most popular for them to make ends meet. The loans are not restricted by what the money can be used for, so long as they are paid back in full as agreed.

Institution Choosing the right institution of higher learning to attend for four years is challenging. It is especially difficult for students that must rely on scholarship money to attend anywhere. Rather than applying only at universities of their choice, students also apply for grants and scholarships at other schools if they have any hope of earning a degree. There is often very little time to decide whether they will accept the money. This may cause them to make a quick decision on which to school to attend without having ample time to think it through. As a result, they may not be happy there. They may be forced to stay in an uncomfortable environment for the full school year or even all four years if they wish to get an education. If they leave, there is the assurance that they will probably be approved for a student loan. Financial institutions respect those with good grades and drive. The borrower does not need to start paying back the low interest loan until after graduation. Some lenders allow the payments to begin sooner to defray costs of interest.

BBcom Featuring: Healthy Protein Cream of Rice Recipe | Kris Gethin

Kris Gethin is going to show you one of his favorite healthy protein snacks using Kaged Muscle MicroPure Whey Protein Isolate and cream of rice.

► Kris Gethin's 12-Week Muscle-Building Program: https://bbcom.me/2UBVtaz

| Kaged Muscle MicroPure Whey Protein Isolate | 
• 25g of 100% Whey Protein Isolate 
• Supercharged Protein Absorption with ProHydrolase Digestive Enzyme Technology 
• Cold Processed, Micro- and Ultrafiltration Technology 
• Amplifies Muscle Recovery and Growth* 
• Less Than 1g of Sugar and Fat Per Serving 
• Naturally Flavored for Amazing Taste 

A BETTER WHEY FOR BUILDING LEAN MUSCLE A new generation of whey protein isolate offering superior quality, enhanced functionality, and maximum performance has arrived. Kaged Muscle’s MICROPURE® Whey Protein Isolate has been formulated to be the purest, cleanest and fastest digesting whey protein isolate on the market. With zero fillers, no amino spiking, protein blends or concentrates, less than 1 gram of sugars, fats, and no added dyes or colors—bodybuilders and other athletes can accelerate recovery and maximize gains in size and strength, without compromise.

* WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE FOR SUPERIOR GAINS With the vast amount of protein supplements on the market, it’s hard to know which ones are of the best quality and worth your hard-earned cash. Unfortunately, many protein supplements are blended with inferior sources of protein, such as low quality whey protein concentrate, to increase total protein while also cheating you out of maximum gains. Ideally, for whey protein to help promote muscle growth and strength, it should be digested to the peptide level (di- and tri-peptides) within 90 minutes to be used by the body.

* Inferior sources of protein, gram for gram, are as not as pure as whey isolates. Whey protein isolate not only serves up more quality protein per scoop to ignite muscle protein synthesis, it’s also lower in unwanted lactose, fat, and carbohydrates than cheaper protein sources. It’s typically more expensive to manufacture, due to the advanced methods of processing it undergoes. 

Whey protein isolate is commonly processed two ways: ion exchange or micro/ultrafiltration. To the unknowing buyer, you may think you’re getting a high-quality whey protein but these two methods are not equal. The ion exchange process, used by many leading brands, selectively depletes several critical tiny molecules known as subfractions, which ultimately results in the denaturing (damaging) of the protein. The whey protein in MICROPURE Whey Protein Isolate has been filtered using the most advanced cross flow micro- and ultrafiltration technology to minimize fat, cholesterol, lactose and other impurities, for an ultrapure, non-denatured isolate protein. The result is a superior quality, rapid absorbing whey isolate that yields the perfect amino acid profile to fuel your body’s anabolic machinery

* WHY CHOOSE MICROPURE WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE? Each scoop of MICROPURE Whey Protein Isolate contains 25 grams of the highest quality and most bioavailable protein available. This ultra-premium whey protein isolate formula has an advanced, full-spectrum amino acid profile that includes EAAs, BCAAs, CAAs and NAAs, to support dramatic increases in protein synthesis for maximum muscle gains.
* Each scoop of MICROPURE Whey Protein Isolate delivers: 
• 11.7g Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) 
• 5.5g Total Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) 
• 4.9g Conditionally Essential Amino Acids (CAAs) 
• 8.3g Non-Essentital Amino Acids (NAAs) 

 ULTRA-CLEAN FORMULA Like all Kaged Muscle products, MICROPURE Whey Protein Isolate has been scientifically formulated with only clean MICROPURE® ingredients, meaning it has been rigorously third-party tested and verified for purity, potency and overall composition. We disclose every active ingredient in its full amount on the label—there’s nothing hidden. This clean formula is also naturally colored and flavored, using an exclusive, proprietary combination of ingredients and cutting-edge technologies for an unrivaled, great tasting protein ideal anytime you desire a high-quality, high-protein drink.

Awin Group’s response to the COVID-19 Coronavirus

Here we outline and will continue to update the measures we have taken in light of the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus.

The Coronavirus crisis takes new turns on a daily basis and we have established a committee that is actively monitoring the situation in each country. We met this morning to determine what Awin should do next to protect the health and welfare of our partners and staff, to limit the spread of COVID-19 in the wider community.
Decision to close Awin offices until further notice
From Monday onwards, all Awin staff have been requested to work from home.  Awin offices will close to facilitate this. 
Why?
The health of our staff is our primary concern. We conducted a successful working from home trial for our entire workforce around the globe over the past two days. As we’ve demonstrated our ability to function effectively without needing to be in the office, we see no reason to put our staff at additional risk of contracting this virus because of the need to travel to work or spend time together in an office environment. 
What does this mean?
All Awin staff will be working from home for the foreseeable future.  It’s hard to predict how long this will last or how the virus will develop in each country, but we will keep monitoring the situation and do our best to communicate updates to you on a regular basis. 
Our staff are still available on the usual communication channels and any scheduled meetings you may have with them will be made virtual. This policy will be in place until further notice. We will monitor the situation and communicate changes to these guidelines as necessary. However, the expectation is that this will be the ‘new normal’ for several weeks.
Once again we appreciate your patience and understanding as we try to navigate the situation and take responsible action. As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
——

Update on March 12th

With the health of Awin Group’s partners and employees at the forefront of our minds, we would like to outline the measures we have taken in light of the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus.
We aim to act in the most responsible manner, taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our partners and employees, while also attempting to minimize disruption as much as possible.
Events and training
As the situation continues to evolve, we feel it is irresponsible to bring together large groups of people from across the globe. Therefore we have made the decision to cancel all Awin Group events and training that were due to take place between now and June 30, 2020, globally – including ThinkTank US 2020 and the 2020 Network Awards. At this time, ThinkTank US and the Network Awards will resume in 2021, but should there be any further changes to this we will provide an update.
This was not an easy decision or one that was taken lightly. However with the situation continuing to evolve on a daily basis, we wanted to not only reduce the safety risk but also reduce the financial impact on our partners and the risk of money being lost later if travel restrictions continue to expand. We think it’s best to make the decision now so everyone knows where they stand, rather than operating under the threat of cancellation and incurring more health and financial costs later down the line. We are currently exploring the option of hosting virtual events in their place and will keep you informed.
We will be refunding all tickets and sponsorships for the events and training that have been canceled. We are also offering the option to transfer these costs to our 2021 events. For any ThinkTank US specific questions or concerns, please email thinktank@awin.com.
Business travel

• We have canceled all international air travel until June 30, 2020, and will maximize online/virtual meetings where possible
• Local travel within a territory is reduced to a minimum and constantly reviewed according to local authority guidance

Daily operations and meetings
The Awin Group has already implemented flexible working policies across all offices in recent years, and as a result, is able to ensure business continuity even when our staff work remotely.
In line with local health and governmental instructions, we have taken the following preventative measures:

• Flexible remote working arrangements for staff in general
• Preventive remote working regulations for employees in need of special health protection
• If required locally, temporary remote working arrangements for all staff with full continuity of business and service
• Self-quarantine remote working for employees who have been in contact with infected individuals
• Self-quarantine remote working for employees returning from restricted locations, or if their partner or family members have also traveled to those areas
• Where possible, online/virtual meetings have been organised to replace face-to-face meetings, both internal and external

We offer our sincere apologies for any disruption experienced by our partners during this time while we take the necessary precautions to help prevent the risk of a situation and events beyond our control.
Awin and ShareASale will always follow any official government guidance and regulation on the matter, and we are continuing to monitor official channels for developments and will make changes to our practices accordingly.
If you have any questions related to this matter, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

For more information on COVID-19, please visit our information hub where we bring you the latest news from the Awin Group, as well as links to network insights and useful pointers, alongside wider updates.

The Rock Almighty Devotional, Praise, and Worship with Angelica

Fear Not from CDM

Part of being human is dealing with our emotions, both the godly and the ungodly ones. Fear is one of those emotions that we must keep close control over, to prevent it from sweeping us away. God gave us feelings to make life more enjoyable, but the enemy is trying to turn them against us. When sickness and disease hits, it’s important to know God’s Word in this area.

We need to remember that sickness isn’t God’s will for us, and that He has promised to deliver us from the noisome pestilence. A thousand may fall at our side, and ten thousand at our right hand, but it won’t come near us. Jesus went to the cross to obtain healing for us; by His stripes, we’ve already been healed.
Terror and dread aren’t from God. He hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and a sound mind. In these times, it’s critical to keep in mind how much God loves us. There is no fear in love, because perfect love casts out fear.
We’re in spiritual warfare right now, and the enemy is on the attack. We’re wrestling not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and the rulers of the darkness in this world. When we feel panic trying to take over and cloud our good judgment, we know that we have authority over this emotion. Jesus has given us authority over all the power of the enemy; nothing by any means can hurt us.
Believers are God’s children, sanctified and set apart from the rest of the world. This means when others are living in fear of sickness, we have nothing to fear. God has conquered every disease, and walks in perfect health. As He is, so are we in this world.
Prayer:
Lord, it’s Your will that we stay healthy. You’ve given us authority over every germ and sickness that can hurt us. Jesus obtained healing and deliverance for us two thousand years ago; we’re grateful for that. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Scriptures:
Psalm 91:1-16
Isaiah 53:5
2 Timothy 1:7
1 John 4:17, 18
Ephesians 6:12
Luke 10:19

Munroe Global Featuring: A Parasite With A Title | Dr. Myles Munroe and Spiritual Abuse...The Modern Day Pharisee

Spiritual Abuse...The Modern Day Pharisee

By: James C. Tanner “Spiritual Abuse”, a catch phrase coined in recent years by Author’s David Johnson and Jeff VanVonderen, is as old as organized religion itself. For most, the historical events which best portray spiritual abuse include the Holy Wars, The Inquisition, the persecution of many eastern Europeans at the hands of the Orthodox church. While many would consider spiritual abuse to be a seldom occurring event today, truthfully, it is very prevalent in the Christian Church, including mainline evangelical churches.

Spiritual abuse is the misuse of an office or position of power, leadership, lay leadership, or influence to further the wishes or directives of an organization or individual against the will of another party. Spiritual abuse is not always subtle in appearance, and more often, like many other forms of abuse in today’s society, relishes on the secrecy provided by implementing it’s power over another in privacy. Spiritual manipulation, mental manipulation, manipulation of events as well as facts, and false spiritual authority are often the classic markers of true spiritual abuse. Certainly, in a religious setting, it’s possible to be so dogmatic in your belief system, that as a leader, in defending your beliefs you wound or abuse anyone who questions, or disagrees, or doesn’t behave spiritually the way you want them to.

In the years following 300 A.D. a great transition came to the Christian church as an organization. A hierarchal style of church leadership came into being, creating a top down management or governmental structure. This change was very different from the early Christian church as it existed in the first century after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. With this new style of church governance came the power struggles common to levels of authority.

In recent years after questioning the directives of how church leaders were responding to a matter, a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church Chairman of the Board, approached a man whose wife had recently abandoned the home, and in privacy quietly told the man, “We can’t tell you what to do, but whether you want us to or not, we can suggest what you should do.” There begins the mental manipulation of spiritual abuse. An authority figure, trying to manipulate a person into doing their bidding, when their opinion was not sought or wanted. While it is most definitely healthy to seek the opinion and suggestions of others in times of need, when you do not seek it, and leadership personally imposes or continually dispenses it upon you against your wishes, it is hurtful, wounding, mentally undermining, and confusing. In other words, a form of mental manipulation. Spiritual abuse.

In a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, the Senior Pastor pulled the same man aside and informed him shortly after this man’s marriage failed, “ We will do whatever we think needs to be done to keep you single and available to reunite you with your wife, whether it takes 7 years or 11 years.” While the intent and desire of the heart of this leader may genuinely have been grieving the break-up of a marriage in his congregation, his response and choice in handling the matter was clearly against the wishes of the couple. It was a clear, and resulted in being a very destructive form of spiritual abuse.

 In a meeting with a Reform Church Pastor, while researching the subject of divorce in the church, one pastor informed this writer that as a denomination, from their head office, when a marriage fails in a church, they have many tools at their disposal to drive the couple back together whether it was wanted by the couple or not. If not wanted by both former marriage partners then it’s spiritual abuse.

In Baptist, as well as Christian and Missionary Alliance Church settings, this writer has observed pastors mis-using church discipline committees to try and force their way of thinking on church members, only to discover the Pastor was involved in an act of dishonesty. The Pastor then tired to conceal his act of dishonesty by using a discipline committee to maintain power over the one who could reveal “the skeleton in the closet”, making the innocent look like the guilty party, or a party of questionable reputation. Definite spiritual abuse.

The practice of “shunning” by the Mennonite community is a passive aggressive form of manipulating a person into correction, a form of spiritual abuse. Churches that are a part of “shepherding” movements; or off-shoots of the Mennonite movement such as Mennonite Brethren; or “covenant” style of churches often struggle at the local level with issues of spiritual abuse.

In today’s local church, be it Baptist, Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, Anglican, Pentecostal, Dutch Reform, Christian and Missionary Alliance, Presbyterian, etc., there is the real opportunity for the existence of spiritual abuse. Most often it is at the local church level and unknown to the senior denominational leaders. At the root of spiritual abuse there is one common factor, the corrupt nature of man in authority.

When one looks at the life of Jesus Christ, you witnessed a religious leader who lived his life totally in the open, even to his death, with nothing to hide. He was not a manipulator. He did not impose his wishes or suggestions on anyone, he simply taught, and in it’s right place, debated. Jesus Christ was less concerned with rules and regulations, and more concerned with human suffering. He was not image conscious. He associated with the drunks, prostitutes, cheating tax collectors, and often accused the legalistic church Pharisees (many who were the church leaders of the day) of “teaching for doctrine the commandments of men” (Matthew 15:9)

Of the Pharisees (the temple or church leaders of Jesus Christ's day), quintessential spiritually abusive leaders, Jesus Christ likened their showy, hypocritical outward righteousness to “whitened sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.” (Matthew 23:27)

Many consider the world of Pharisees to be something of an ancient concept. Pharisees still exist today in the hearts, minds and actions of spiritual leaders, and lay leaders who abuse.

Body Transformation: Dustin Is Determined To Get Big Or Dye Mirin'! From BBcom.

Teen Transformation Of The Week

Dustin used college baseball conditioning as a lifting launch pad. See how Steve Cook's Big Man On Campus Trainer helped Dustin build 39 pounds of muscle!

Name: Dustin Dye
Email: Dustindyeiphone@gmail.com
Location: Tallahassee, Florida

Why I decided to transform

I decided to transform when I arrived at college my freshman year. I was taller than the average guy, but as I looked around, I couldn't find anyone as skinny as me. Up to that point, I hardly ever picked up weights, and when I did, I didn't know what I was doing.
Fall conditioning for baseball was coming up and I knew I was going to be in trouble. I was extremely nervous and by far the weakest guy there on the first day. During the next month, I gave it my all and looked forward to lifting even though I was embarrassed at my weakness. I was determined to get bigger and stronger.
I was known as the skinny kid who ate a lot growing up and was always asked where it all went. I thought I would never gain weight, but I managed to gain two pounds during the month of fall conditioning. Muscle or not, I was motivated.

When fall workouts ended, I was addicted to lifting. As a college athlete, I knew working out would help my physique and performance on the field, so I committed to transform my body. I started following Steve Cook's Big Man On Campus daily workout plan from Bodybuilding.com the day after conditioning, which was 18 months ago, and haven't looked back.

Before /// 140 lbs

After /// 179 lbs

AGE 18 / HEIGHT 6'3" / BODY FAT 8%

AGE 19 / HEIGHT 6'3" / BODY FAT 10%

How I accomplished my goals

I haven't accomplished all of my goals yet, but I'm proud of the progress I made in a short amount of time. The biggest key to my success is consistency. I made the gym a priority and own the place when I walk through the door. I don't care what people think or why they stare at me.
I noticed an unreal edge on the field because of my increased strength. I'm happy with the current state of my body, but I won't stop pushing forward. My transformation has been an experiment of trial and error. I learned so much and will always know what it takes to stay in shape and what advice to give others so they can do the same.
Bodybuilding.com served as a large tool for my success. I followed several trainers on the site and order my supplements from the company. Steve Cook is my inspiration as a person and competitor. Jeff Seid and Zyzz follow shortly behind Steve and represent the ideal physique I'm shooting for.

What aspect challenged me the most

Dieting challenged me most. I'm not a morning person, so it took awhile to get breakfast in check. Cutting out small things like soda are tough at first, but after a month I forgot they existed. I haven't had a sip of soda in two years.

My future fitness plans

I don't have any plans to compete because I'm nowhere near ready, but I might one day. I just enjoying lifting and can't ever see myself stopping. Lifting helped me as an athlete tremendously. It would be cool to compete and be sponsored one day, but that would come after my athletic career.

"Don't go by what the scale says. There are many factors that can be misleading."

Suggestions for aspiring transformers

• Attitude is everything and helps you overcome slow progress.
• Don't go by what the scale says. There are many factors that can be misleading.
• Create a routine and stick to it.
• Get a gym partner who's stronger than you and can push you.

How Bodybuilding.com helped me reach my goals

Bodybuilding.com got me started and provided endless information to aid my journey. I read articles and got lost in the site for hours at a time. The daily online trainers are great and I got my friends hooked on them. I purchase my supplements on Bodybuilding.com and the customer service is second to none.

BBcom Featuring: Muscle-Building Chest and Shoulders Workout | Hunter Delfa

Want to know how to get a killer V-taper? NutraBio athlete Hunter Delpha has the workout you need to start building an X-frame, ASAP! 
► Shop NutraBio Supplements: https://bbcom.me/3ayOLrq 
► BodyFit Training Programs: https://bbcom.me/2JqhTFj

| Hunter Delfa's Chest and Shoulders Workout |
 I have found that training chest and shoulders together is an effective technique for building overall upper-body muscle. The ultimate goal of this workout is to gain that quality, lean muscle that we all strive for—through lots of volume! Some exercises call for high reps, some are heavier sets with fewer reps, and there are dropsets, as well. You'll start by working upper chest with lots of incline work and move down to the lower chest. The second half of the workout hits shoulders, and by the time you're finished, you should feel fatigued. I like to insert this workout into my routine about once every two weeks. Let's get to work! 

| Incline Barbell Press | 
We'll start with the incline barbell bench press. You'll notice in the video I'm not going all the way down, and I'm not coming all the way up either. That keeps the tension on the upper chest the entire time and keeps your arms from taking over.

 | Close-Grip Incline Dumbbell Press/Incline Single-Dumbbell Press |
 For the close-grip incline dumbbell press, I use one dumbbell in the video because I didn't have the dumbbells I wanted here; usually, I use two dumbbells. Sometimes you have to improvise in the gym. You'll see I raise the dumbbell in an arc motion, rather than straight up, in order to get an extra squeeze on my upper chest and focus on the inner pec, as well. | Incline Dumbbell Fly | You'll probably notice that I make a slight twist of my wrist at the top of the motion on incline dumbbell flyes. This is also a trick for getting an extra squeeze, as well as forcing more blood into the chest. Crazy how one small motion can make all the difference, but it does!

 | Dumbbell Fly Press |
 I'm a big fan of this movement because I really like coming down on the flyes and feeling that stretch as well as the squeeze from the press at the top. With this exercise, start like you're doing a flat dumbbell fly, but at the top of the motion, finish it as if it was a press. So, at the midrange, twist your wrists before finishing with a press.



 | Machine Chest Press | 
You'll do 3 total sets for this exercise. On the first set, start with 6 reps, drop the weight and do 12 reps, then drop the weight again and finish with 20 reps. I prefer to do these on the machine, but if your gym does not have a chest press machine, you can use dumbbells, cable presses, or the bench press instead. If you watch closely, you'll notice that I'm keeping constant tension on the muscle throughout the set.

 | Single-Arm Cable Fly |
 For these, do 10 reps on one arm while holding the opposite arm at the end position of the fly. Do 10 with the opposite arm, and when you're finished, repeat for 8, 6, 4, and 2 reps per side, going back and forth, with no rest between. When you complete the final two reps, superset with 10 cable chest presses.

 | Cable Chest Press |
 I like to do an isometric hold on these because it forces blood into the pecs. This is the last chest exercise, so you need to give it your all to get everything you can out of it. Repeat this entire superset three times with about a minute between supersets. |Smith Machine Behind-The-Neck Press | I recommend doing these on a Smith machine over doing them with a regular barbell to reduce your chance of injury. Keep your head straight and look straight on—do not look down and do not angle your neck down either. You want to come down to where your elbows are at 90 degrees and keep your grip no farther than shoulder-width apart.

The Truth About Vaccines Featuring: Be Brave! (Part 3) - Vaccine Safety Negligence | Del Bigtree at TTAC Live 2019 in Anaheim, CA and 6 Ways to Find the Best Pediatrician for Your Kids- JPCKIDS

Welcome back! This is the 3rd and final part to Del Bigtree's TTAC Live 2019 presentation. In this last installment, Del shines a light on vaccine safety. We are told that the vaccination program is implemented for the greater good of human society, but at what cost?

Science" tells us that it's safe and that the number of incidents is negligible to the point that it's recommended for universal use. However, when you take a look at 2 independent studies done by Harvard and the FDA, respectively, they both came to the same conclusion that only 1% of vaccine injuries and/or deaths are actually reported. Meaning, the number that we have actual data that is publicly available for all to see represents only 1% of what is actually going on out there. 

To put things into statistical perspective, we know for a fact that 533 children are dying to vaccines in 2018. If that is 1% of what is reported, then the actual total could be as much as 53,000. How many children's lives lost annually is too much? Shouldn't 533 lives be more than enough? Where do we draw the line?

6 Ways to Find the Best Pediatrician for Your Kids- JPCKIDS

By: Nathen White It is a challenging task to find the best pediatrician for your kid. Pediatricians should be good enough to take care of the child’s health until adolescence. There are some quality factors that parents look for the children’s clinic when they have to choose one.

Find out the factors that determine whether a pediatrician is a good fit for your family. Here is a list of tips to choose the best pediatrician.

1. Consider Comfort levels.

Choose a pediatrician who has a good understanding, patience and comfort levels to talk and identify parent’s concerns regarding their child’s health. Children’s physician and parent relationships are considered relevant in taking care of your child’s medical fitness. A pediatrician should appreciate parents encroachment in a child’s care as they are the first to see signs and symptoms of their kid's health. In turn, Parents should be able to learn and understand from the doctor’s explanation of child health care. A good pediatrician should communicate to the parent in detail about the conditions and requirements like a family member.

2. Consider recommendations.

Other than certification and specialty, it is best to go for personal recommendations from family friends or colleagues when searching for a Pediatrician. Inquire to them on the facilities and feedback about the physician and their approach and capabilities. There is also a lot of reviews posted on the web about parents experience and recommendation from their own personal experience on the internet which may also help.

3. Staff Service.

It is also to consider the services of staff as this may be another important factor in the medical field. Most of the time a better reception and better behavior with children is very crucial in a clinical atmosphere. So nonmedical staff in a clinic are equally important as the medical staff to create an ambiance of friendliness.

4. Prevention-focused

As the saying goes "Prevention is Better Than Cure", it is intelligent to choose a doctor who oversees the possible health issues and prepare your family to avoid health issues in the future. There are preventive vaccinations for a child that should be properly administered at the proper time. Such pediatricians help you take proper medication at the right time bringing in quality health to your children.

5. Compatibility

It is important to evaluate whether the pediatrician's method of child care stands close to your expectations in the approach of treatment procedures, consultation, support and medication. Taking care of the emergencies in the absence of a doctor is also an important factor to be considered in choosing your clinic.

6. Check for Speciality

Choosing a pediatrician is a very tough task. It is good to have an understanding of the specialty and experience of the concerned pediatrician. Checking the degree of doctor is not a fault as it helps you gain trust in his or her treatments. Treatment procedures, parenting approaches, and physician availability as all are equally important in a child’s health. A pediatrician should be kind, compassionate, patient, a good listener and open to discussions about your views and concerns freely as it is the very important primary step in identifying the nature of a child or the disease.

Children at various stages need treatment and communication is the most important factor in the treatment of children. Children’s response to treatment, their adherence to timely medications are all as important as the medicine itself. Children’s clinic is thus one of the most difficult ones to choose in the medical field and it makes it more difficult as you are the one who is choosing it for your children.

Self-Defense Advice - Be Ready To Adapt And Act

By: G J Thomas In the first instance in any dangerous confrontation you should try to run away. Escape, evade, SURVIVE. If things get physical then you should expect to sustain an injury of some sort, even if it's just a scratch or a bruise. Running away means no scratches and no bruises. Do not be too proud to run.

All self-defense training should put plenty of focus on running away, because by running away you stand the best chance of survival. That's just the way it is. Humans have the "fight or flight" mentality built-in, but you should reverse those words and think about the flight before the fight. If you are fortunate enough to see a good escape route running away is definitely the smartest thing you can do, whether you feel cowardly or not. Which would you prefer to be, a sensible living person or a brave dead one? No brainer.

When confronted by an attacker think, adapt, and act fast

In any confrontational situation you should expect the worst and be prepared for it, that is why you train yourself, but you should also expect the unexpected. Learning to escape from a knife attack is one thing, but what if your assailant has friends coming around the corner just as you turn to run away? What if you manage to stop your attacker and knock him down, only to slip and fall as you make your escape? In seconds he is on top of you, and you are in a more dangerous position than before. Be alert, be aware, and be prepared to adapt to any situation and use any advantage you can find.

Any training that you choose should incorporate methods to deal with unexpected twists and crazy scenarios. The simple but effective techniques that you can teach yourself fairly quickly will work in a lot of situations - that is why these techniques are taught, but at some point you may find yourself in a far less straight-forward confrontation where you need a little bit extra. Life throws random difficulties at us all the time, so it's important to be as ready as you can for something to happen that makes the dangerous scenario you are in even worse.

A distraction could be the key to your escape

If somebody nearby shouts and it momentarily distracts your attackers you can use this to your advantage. If a crowd of people turns the corner and starts walking your way should you shout for help? A police siren in the distance may provide enough of a distraction for you to turn and run. Expect to be shocked, expect to be scared, and be prepared to make quick, smart decisions. Taking advantage of an unexpected event might make all the difference.

Think about what you do, where you go, and who you go with, and try imagining what you would do if two men with knifes attacked you. Or maybe they grab your companion and threaten her. How about the difference between being attacked in an open space versus a tight, cramped alleyway? Maybe you work in a shop and are worried about somebody jumping over the counter and what you should do. Put yourself in complicated situations and think of ways that it could get even worse. Picture yourself there, and use your training to work out how you would survive.

• Is there anything you can do to distract your attacker?
• What do you do if your attackers are a group of females?
• What can you do if you are carrying an injury and can barely walk?
• What do you do if your assailants surround you?

Always remember, the key to every situation is to SURVIVE. You are not trying to look good, you are not there to be brave, your only intention is to survive by any means necessary. If you are in a position where somebody is threatening you with a knife or gun, then your attacker is demonstrating that he is prepared to KILL YOU if you do not comply. You need to know what to do and you need to be prepared to act quickly and decisively. If your survival means running away then do it, but if you are forced to protect yourself, or to fight off an attacker, then ensure that you are as prepared as you possibly can be. Learn more......
