Hey, how's it going if you didn't already know, I'm Gabi and in this video
We're gonna talk about business English so this is for you
If you're learning English if you have to deal with clients in English if you ever go to
Conferences or networking events or if you have co-workers or a boss who speaks English or maybe you're in a university program
and you have professors who speak English these are all situations in which you
need business English
So I'm gonna share 25 of the top business English vocabulary words expressions phrases idioms
Let's get down to business number one is actually four different
Expressions we have on topic or on track and off topic or off track so we want to stay on
Topic in this video, so it doesn't get to be too long we have
25 words and expressions to share so let's not get off-topic
Let's stay on topic for the sake of
Time we want to address the issue at hand which is business English
number two is through the roof through the roof means a
large amount of change for example sales are through the roof or
Customer complaints and refund requests are through the roof
Number three my train of thought my train of thought is that to avoid customer refund?
requests, we should actually have better customer service so train of thought is a logical progression of
ideas
to bank on banks are typically reliable institutions so to bank on means to
Guess or to think that something is probable. I'm banking on good weather this weekend, so I think I'll go camping
I'm banking on a good return on
investment in this
marketing initiative
To brush up on means to review so before you go to a meeting you may want to
Brush up on the agenda to bring to the table is usually use with experience this guy has 10 years
Working in our field. He brings so much experience to the table
2 table is a verb that means to pause
You know we're getting off topic so let's table this right now and talk about it another time maybe next week
Number 8 off the top of my head means without preparation or research off the top of my head
I would say that 9 out of 10 people love go natural English, but I didn't do a study
I don't have conclusive data about that 9 left field or out of left field
means something
Unexpected so when our boss fired John
It was totally out of left field nobody expected it to think outside the box is to think
Creatively because the box is the standard to think outside the box is to be more creative
Next bring me up to speed means give me an executive summary or a quick
Review of a topic before our meeting could you bring me up to speed on how our?
associates are doing number 12 to touch base means to connect with someone or
Reconnect with that person hey, I really enjoyed having coffee with you today
Let's touch base again next week, or I need more
Information could we touch base on that topic next week number 13 similarly to reach out
Means to connect with someone, but it could be someone who you don't know yet
It could also be someone who you do know
But it's a bit more of an effort whereas to touch base is something a bit more
Casual they're quite similar though
So I'd like to reach out and ask for your advice on my new job offer. It's
really important to me, so
They're similar, but a little bit different to touch base is always with someone you already know
Where is to reach out could be someone you don't know yet?
Number 14 me in the loop to be in the loop means that you're well-informed, so please keep me informed
Please keep me in the loop number 15 at the end of the day
What really matters is that our business is making a profit so at the end of the day means?
Finally or in conclusion. What is most important number 16 to make ends?
Meet means to break even
I'm making enough money from my paycheck that I'm making ends meet
I'm paying my bills my rents paying for food and basic necessities
I'm making ends meet number 17 to be on the same page means that you are
understanding of one another
We're on the same page here. We understand each other and to be on the same page also means that you agree
With that person yes
We're on the same page. We can close the deal next week number 18 to zero in on to zero in on means to
focus on a very specific
Topic let's zero in on our performance this month number 19 to run something by someone
means to ask
Perhaps to ask for permission to do something hey before we change this presentation
Let's just run it by our boss number 20
Similarly to sign off on means to get permission so before we change this this presentation
Let's have our boss sign off on it to sign off on could literally be to sign a contract
but it can also be
Figuratively to get permission to do something number 21 to put on the back burner
Think of a stove or range when you put a pot on the back burner
It's to let it simmer or perhaps. Just let it cool down, so it's not your main focus so
Let's put this topic on the back burner until next month
It's not so important number 22 calling the shots well
John's the boss but Mary really calls all the shots
She's actually in charge to call the shots means to actually decide and to give direction
23 in a nutshell means in summary
24 off the cuff, this is a cuff but off the cuff means something that is
Spontaneous it's similar to off the top of my head
so I'm off the cuff kind of statement is something that's not very planned and
Finally maybe something that you do when you need to
answer something that you weren't really prepared to answer is to wing it if you have a
presentation and someone asks you questions at the end of it you may need to wing it which is to just do your best to
Improvise to wing it so I'm not so prepared for this presentation, but I'll just wing it it'll be fine

Why don't we use Viruses to Fight Diseases for Us? - Duration: 6:17.
In 1919 several children in a hospital in central Paris were suffering from severe dysentery,
caused by a bacterial infection of the intestines and resulting in severe diarrhoea.
However, a microbiologist, Félix d'Herelle, was ready to trial a new treatment.
Three years prior, in 1916, d'Herelle, was an unpaid, self-taught volunteer at the Pasteur
Institute and searching for a discovery to place his name in the history books alongside Pasteur himself.
He isolated bacteriophages, viruses that attack bacteria,
from the filtrates of dysentery fluids from soldiers.
He immediately speculated that his discovery could explain the recovery of patients from the disease.
And in early 1919, he had began conducting trial experiments on animals,
isolating phage from chicken faeces and successfully treating a plague of chicken typhus.
With that success he was now ready to begin human trials.
His treatment of several children at the hospital was successful
and promised to herald the beginning of a new medical revolution.
But today, few bacterial infections are treated with Phage Therapy,
instead physicians turn to antibiotics, but with the rise of superbugs resistant to many antibiotics
perhaps bacteriophages could be useful.
So then why did they fall out of use in the first place?
The short answer as to why antibiotics became preferred over Phage is one of convenience, and money.
Phage are specific, targeting only a few bacterial species
and while this can be beneficial in leaving beneficial bacterial species untouched,
a board spectrum antibiotic, wiping clean all species of bacteria can cure an infection
regardless of what specific species is the culprit;
thus allowing for presumptive treatment, prior to the identification of the pathogen.
And the new Sulfonamide antibiotics of the 1930s were easy to use by solo general practitioners,
without the access to expensive bacteriological laboratories needed for the diagnosis
and complex support necessary for effective phage therapy.
Off-the-shelf medications were simple and effective.
And naturally occurring phage, cannot be patented,
so pharmaceutical companies naturally followed the money;
rather than endeavour to isolate new phages faster than bacteria evolved resistance.
But while we can summarise that the wide-spread availability of antibiotics
after the Second World War has reduced the use of phage therapy,
the issues faced began at the moment of discovery.
Even the very nature of phage was the subject of debate.
In 1919, the same year d'Herelle first treated patients with phage,
Jules Bordet was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on immunity
based on lysis of bacteria by antibodies, not phage.
d'Herelle boldly challenged Bordet's work, and with that an academic rivalry was born.
Bordet and his protégé, Andre Gratia, responded by challenging both his conception
of phage as a virus - arguing that bacterial lysis was induced by enzyme -
and his status as discoverer, noting that Frederick Twort, a British microbiologist had observed
"transmissible glassy transformation" of bacteria, but failed to follow up on his original observations,
D'Herelle fought back as best he could, but with no formal scientific education
and lacking the standings of a Nobel Prize, he couldn't persuade the scientific community
that phage was a virus and not a self-perpetuating lytic enzyme.
Nevertheless, the medical results couldn't be ignored
and doctors across Western Europe successfully tested Phage Therapy it against a variety of diseases.
And in 1924 d'Hérelle received an honorary doctorate of the University of Leiden,
as well as the Leeuwenhoek medal, placing him alongside his idol Louis Pasteur.
But it was not until the electron microscopy was developed in Germany in 1939 that d'Herelle's
viral conception of phage would be vindicated, and even then World War II limited the distribution
of scientific literature out of Germany.
And the then known status of phage as a virus led to a marketing issue.
Scientists and the public alike were intrigued by the virus "at the edge of life",
but patients could be off put by a treatment involving a living agent.
Regardless, by this point D'Herelle had left the West, to help establish an institute
to study phage and phage therapy in the Soviet Republic of Georgia in 1934.
Without the profit requirements of capitalism, Phage therapy was widely employed in the Soviet Union
who also lacked access to the antibiotics being developed in the west.
This operation became large, employing 1200 people and producing two tons of phage each week,
mostly for use by the Soviet military.
However this resulted in another marketing issue.
In the aftermath of World War II, with the cold war governing international relations,
all things "communist" became suspect in the West.
This included Soviet Science, and phage therapy was now Soviet Science.
As Gunther Stent, one of the early bacteriophage biologists and Graduate Professor at the University
of California in Berkeley wrote as phage therapy was fading into obscurity:
"… as late as World War II, bacteriophages were said to have found employ in the medical
services of the German and Japanese armies, and even today the medical use of bacteriophages
still persists in some out-of-the-way places".
Being associated with America's enemy's, especially the out of the way places understood at the
time to be the Soviet Union, resulted in phage therapy becoming something to be quickly dismissed.
But now with the rise of superbugs interest in phage therapy is increasing.
Phage not only provide an opportunity as an alternative treatment for antibiotic resistant bacteria
but modified viruses could turn the CAS9 protein the bacteria normally uses to defend itself
againced the bacteria to make modifications to the bacteria's own genome - with CRISPR
potentially solving the problem of bacterial resistance to the phage, as well as allowing patents.
And speaking of CRISPR, my wife made a video on that the medical uses of this technique
over on her channel, Crazy Little Things, so go check it out, links in all the usual places.

Healthy Living for Life - Finding the Right Caregiver for You (Full Version) - Duration: 22:01.
living longer living healthier living better than ever before
welcome to Mountain-Pacific's Healthy Living for Life a weekly series that
gives you the information education and expert insight you need to become an
active participant in today's ever changing health care climate here now as
today's program host as their loved ones age sometimes the best way to help them
stay healthy is to find someone to assist with their care today we will be
exploring what this process looks like welcome to Healthy Living for Life a
show dedicated to helping you do just that I'm your host Lisa Sather today
we'll talk about finding a caregiver and what you should know before getting
started stay tuned welcome back this morning we're talking with LaDawn Whiteside
an AARP volunteer and Deby McNally with the Area Agency on Aging
thank you for joining us today ladies good morning good morning so Deby
let's start out with you could you tell us about what the Area for Agency on
Aging is and your role with them yes the Area for Agency on Aging is a part of
Rocky Mountain Development Council and Rocky Mountain Development Council is a
Community Action Agency it's a part of a network that is a nonprofit
organization and really they were created to fight poverty and fight the
war on poverty and so we have programs like heating assistance headstart
senior services all under this great umbrella the Area Agency on Aging is one
of many were part of aging services Network and this is also nationwide so
the aging services network is a great organization it's tied to the older
Americans Act and so we have several services under our agency we provide
funding as well direct services so some of our programs
we fund include senior centers the congregate meals and the Meals on Wheels
going out of that agency home making services respite services and
transportation so our direct services at Area for Agency on Aging includes
Medicare counseling and our aging services helpline we receive those calls
and under a program called information Assistance and Referral we
have the Ombudsman program and several more okay so my role is outreach and
education coordinator and part of why I'm here today and what I'm doing and I
spent several years as a Chip and INA counselor answering phone calls from
that hotline about the topic that we're here to talk about today
finding caregivers later so it's great to hear more about that
thank you so LaDawn you volunteer with AARP yes and
I'd like to hear a little bit more about your background and what your role as a
volunteer as well like Deby I have done quite a few things that lead me to being
an AARP volunteering with you today and one of those things that I did was
working for the regulatory authority for health care facilities for a long time
and part of my role there was that I was a complaint and abuse coordinator and so
I heard a lot of things from people about not only facilities but staffing
issues and caregiver issues and things like that and then I worked for the
waiver program with the Community Services Bureau for a couple of years
and learned more about what people need and want when they're living in their
own homes and looking for caregivers so when I retired from the state of Montana
I decided I wanted to open a mediation business and part of what I do there is
to work with people who are trying to resolve problems
so when I became a part of the AARP organization they had this program
called prepare to care and so I volunteered to provide this prepare to
care curriculum when people want to and part of the curriculum covers creating a
plan for caregivers in your own home awesome well let's get right into that
so we're gonna talk about finding a caregiver today and why might
someone decide to hire a caregiver for a loved one that's a great question
to start with and just to relieve the burden of the primary caregiver relieve
isolation so more companionship yes so those are great things and one of our
part of our mission of Area For is to help keep people in their home and provide
those home supports so they can remain independent in the community and have a
great quality of life great so if someone decides they want to hire a
caregiver where should they start so I would start by asking questions and
consider the type of caregiver you need full-time part-time do you need a
live-in is it just companionship or friendly visitor or well check calls so
there's a variety of caregivers out there you know do you need a home care
aide home health aide or a little bit more medical on a certified nursing
assistant or an RN so really starting there will help you once you get those
few questions asked that will get you pointed in the right direction and I
think some of the things like Deby had said deciding what you need and then
going out and finding it essentially because a lot of caregivers they do
as much as they can and they really work hard and they feel really committed
because it's their loved one that they're taking care of so when they
realize that they need some help part of it is to take care of their
loved one and part of it is to take care of
themselves as a caregiver so reaching out and saying in your head and
verbalizing that to people about I need help with this thing at this time of day
or this time a week I can do everything but this thing I need help with and
being specific and what you need and then go in finding that either
professional caregiver friend and family that can help you with caregiving this
really important job excellent all right so we're going to take a short break
here for just a couple minutes lady ladies and then we'll be right back to
get into a little bit more information stay tuned
welcome back LaDawn Whiteside and Deby McNally are here with us to continue our
discussion on finding a caregiver welcome back ladies Deby let's start
let's start out with you let's start talking a little bit more about
specifics on finding specific types of caregivers and can you talk to us a
little bit about companion caregivers a little bit more detail so companion
caregivers or personal care assistants they really help in the home to do light
housekeeping preparing meals and sometimes they assist with a little bit
of personal care washing bathing but really that helps with the little things
non-medical and then that companionship to maybe helping with medications
picking them up at the pharmacy and maybe some errands or shopping ok LaDawn
do you want to talk to us if about if somebody needs a caregiver with a little
bit more training a lot of caregivers have no experience
in caregiving or they have some experience but they have had no formal
training and there is a program called powerful tools for caregivers and that
is through MSU Extension Office but you can find out about how to participate or
attend the powerful tools for caregivers by calling the Extension agency or an
ombudsman in your area a long-term care Ombudsman in your area and that provides
the layperson some information so that they have more tools more resources and
training to provide the care that's necessary
usually a certified nurse's aide or a nurse or a medication assistant a
professional or licensed certified person has a lot of information so they
come to the job with a lot of information to help take care of the
person but people who have never been caregivers or really had no training the
powerful tools for caregivers is really a wonderful opportunity and also again
I'm gonna refer to prepare to care book because it
kind of leads a person down the path of how to find me how to find somebody that
you need whether it's a in home whether it's a family member or whether it's
somebody through a blog a caregiving blog or church organization affiliation
something like that there are a lot of caregiver programs that you can access
excellent sounds like a lot of great resources thank you and if someone needs
somebody with a little bit more medical expertise how would you go about
that so you would look towards an RN registered nurse maybe some more
advanced care maybe if they have cancer or some of those more hired metals call
specialized needs so I would start with the RN I also wanted to say that it's
important that you know all these different helpers or caregivers we can
hire have different training requirements and that may vary by state
by state so you know while we're talking them about a little here it's important
to to really ask the questions and find out their qualifications and what they
can and cannot do and hiring that's excellent leads right into my next
question what kind of questions should we be asking when we're thinking about
interviewing a caregiver can we have some tips on that I think that would be
helpful yeah I think asking for their qualifications or references making sure
to do an interview with them is important too then if you're hiring
privately making sure to do a background check there's a registry for at the
state level for CNAs where you can call and see where they're out with their
requirements as a consumer so it's it's great to look at those it's important to
get a great match so personality wise making sure that
your loved one clicks with the caregiver is important too I would just like to
add that when you're hiring a caregiver it's very similar in a person in an
employment situation that's really what you're doing if you're hiring a
paid or you're asking somebody to volunteer in your home you want to do
the same kind of review that you would do if the person was working for you
because that's really what they're doing so double checking options that are
available free options that are available the reference checks the nurse
aide registration program through the Quality Assurance Division checking with
those references just don't accept the letters contact those people be really
comfortable with the person that you're bringing into your home because they
have access to everything so making sure that you're your loved one and your home
is safe from whoever you bring in is really important and again AARP has a lot
of resources that have to do with fraud prevention and elder exploitation so
prepare yourself with information don't just bring a person in that you've never
met before and expect them to know how to do things stand beside them watch
supervise the care that they're providing for a while and make sure that
they're doing it in in accordance with your desires and your information very
very good you have to say - when hiring with the agency that you're going
through a larger agency or smaller agency when choosing that agency I would
suggest you ask if it's if the same aide would be coming on a regular basis some
people want the same service and caregiving is so intimate so
making that match is important absolutely because the caregiver
essentially becomes a car part of your family yes they're there a lot typically
and as time goes on there's spending more and more time very good and I would
imagine it's really important to set your expectations out in advance so they
yes everybody is on the same page and knows what to expect excellent well
thank you ladies we're going to take a short break here and we're going to come
back and finish up here in just a couple minutes stay tuned we'll be right back
welcome back if your family is considering finding a caregiver for your
loved one you're not alone according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention over 5 million Americans receive support from care services such
as home health agencies adult day care service centers and residential care
communities LaDawn Whiteside and Deby McNally are still with us to discuss the
ins and outs of finding the right caregiver and how to pay for that care
welcome back ladies so before we get into the cost of hiring a caregiver
which I'm really interested to talk about can we talk a little bit more
about finding the right person for your loved one and what happens if the person
you found doesn't actually click with your loved one what do you do it's
difficult I think to make friends and that capacity so you're gonna have
people that come in as caregivers that may or may not click with your
particular family or your loved one or yourself whatever that is so you have to
make a decision about is it better to keep that person and provide some extra
training to make the match fit or is it better to hire another individual go
through the same process again and a little bit of that depends on your own
feelings about that caregiver but part of that needs to come from the person
they're taking care of so your loved one are they comfortable with that
individual if they're not then start exploring the process of hiring an
additional or a new person and you'll have to decide what the risk is do you
want to phase that person out slowly over time and adding a new person in or
do you just want to terminate the their caregiving at that very moment in time
so don't believe that one caregiver will stay with you forever you have to be
prepared to introduce more and more people into that they are giving since
one size doesn't fit all right so let's talk about elder abuse real
quickly we need to hit on that so can you tell us if that's a risk and concern
yes that can be I think with any caregiver abuse can happen whether it's
burnout or verbal abuse and so it can happen with any care
so it's good to keep an eye on things look for a bruise under clothing stay
connected visit with the one who's being cared for LaDawn do you have examples unfortunately
the statistics demonstrate that more abuse happens in the home than it does
in institutional settings or places that you might take someone we have this
hesitation or this worry that abuse is happening in health care facilities
which it does happen but the truth of the matter is based on the law
enforcement statistics there is more abuse committed in the home setting than
anywhere else I'm part of that has to do with less supervision if you're living
in a nursing home there's a lot of people around there's lots of people
watching each other when you're in the home setting there's not a lot of
supervision so you want to make sure that the person that you hire is going
to be taking care of your person the way you want them to so I guess the
important thing as Deby said is to look for signs do extra supervision make sure
that you have used the due diligence resources that are available to you and
don't hesitate to report and ask questions if you suspect or concerned or
you're not clicking with that caregiver and you're starting to worry be sure to
report ok cost what are we talking about roughly in terms of cost for cost it's
approximately a hundred and twenty-five dollars a day for full care and it may
be less if it's part part-time so that that can really add up over time any
financial options for folks to help get help paying for in-home care yeah there
are several options out there Medicare you'd want to look and see if
your loved one qualifies for Medicare home health and you would just go to
medicare.gov for that if they have an advantage plan which is a not original
Medicare you could check with your agent or call 1-800 Medicare
that out okay so Medicaid which is the state level assistance has several
options and I really feel like people should explore Medicaid because you
never know what services you might qualify for there's Medicaid home and
community-based services that help folks stay in their home and provides long
term care assistance there is PCA services personal care assistance
there's a self-direct program where you can hire your own caregiver and and beat
the boss and trainer and then another agency is just the bank they're the
fiscal filter so there's a lot of options out there and then you could
also look at go to eldercare.gov okay to look and for some resources you can look
at a benefits checkup which will tell you what you're it's a great at the
national program and a great screening tool that will let you know what your
loved one is eligible for an even offset some cost so that it's a great program a
reversed mortgage could also be an option for folks so good options then
keep your options open just have a few in a few sentences before we get close
to time being out but I want to know some other options real quickly for
folks if they wouldn't qualify for one of those are there other resources out
there so I would suggest to call the Area for Agency on Aging or your Senior
Center because they really know all these resources and can walk you through
it there are many online tools like the ADRC website and online resource and a
lot of the Area Agency on Aging have senior resource guide okay so sometimes
your local Area for Agency or our agency the Area for Agency on Aging has
resources that maybe are not on the larger online resources

Jurgen Klopp's assistant Zeljko Buvac to miss remainder of season for "personal reasons" - Duration: 4:01.
Jurgen Klopp's assistant Zeljko Buvac to miss remainder of season for "personal reasons"
Liverpools backroom staff will be one man light for the remainder of the season, with assistant Zeljko Buvac leaving his role.
Liverpool insist Buvac remains a club employee and that he has left for personal reasons but the timing is extraordinary and concerning ahead of a huge week for the club.
Theres also the wider question of Buvacs long-term future to consider, with the suggestion still prevalent that he will not return in the summer.
Liverpool play Roma in the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, before a crucial Premier League match at Chelsea over the weekend which could define their top-four challenge.
Buvac has been Jurgen Klopps assistant since 2001, when the duo were at Mainz, and has been referred to as the brain of the coaching setup by the Reds boss.
The club say Buvac will miss the remainder of the 2017/18 campaign due to personal reasons, but he remains an employee of the club and has not quit his post.
While that is doubtless factually correct, supporters will be reading somewhat more into the matter.
At a crucial juncture of the season, the only relevant matter is full focus on the second leg in Rome—and everything else needs to be set aside.
With rumours of a big fall-out between Klopp and Buvac rife, theres every possibility that the club are simply filing this incident under deal with it later.
No sideshows or distractions can be allowed to derail the season at this point, and a personal reasons tag for Buvacs absence allows the matter to be dealt with quietly and when there is more time available.
Journalist Raphael Honigstein, who has published books on Klopp and his managerial career, points out that the two have a volatile relationship which has had highs and lows.
Even so, the Mirror report that Buvac tendered his resignation, heightening the probability he will not return in the summer.
Elsewhere, Paul Joyce of the Times reports that Klopp hopes Buvac will return, but that it appears unlikely, writing:.
The Liverpool manager Klopp will hope his right hand man can return, but if Buvac feels he does not want to be around the club at present when European ambitions are on the line it is difficult to envisage that changing.
Fans will doubtless be reminded of similar incidents which have occurred at Anfield over the last decade or two.
Both Rafa Benitez and Gerard Houllier split from their long-time assistants, Pako Ayesteran and Patrice Bergues respectively.
More recently, Brendan Rodgers was manager of the Reds when he opted to sack long-time assistant Colin Pascoe.
For Klopp, he will continue with Peter Krawietz at his side until the end of the campaign and hell take on more responsibility for the time being.

House Chaplain Who Gave Prayer To Congress Was Forced To Resign For Prayer He Gave To Members - Duration: 4:36.

Part 3 - Healthy Living for Life - Finding the Right Caregiver for You - Duration: 7:46.
welcome back if your family is considering finding a caregiver for your
loved one you're not alone according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention over 5 million Americans receive support from care services such
as home health agencies adult day care service centers and residential care
communities LaDawn Whiteside and Deby McNally are still with us to discuss the
ins and outs of finding the right caregiver and how to pay for that care
welcome back ladies so before we get into the cost of hiring a caregiver
which I'm really interested to talk about can we talk a little bit more
about finding the right person for your loved one and what happens if the person
you found doesn't actually click with your loved one what do you do it's
difficult I think to make friends and that capacity so you're gonna have
people that come in as caregivers that may or may not click with your
particular family or your loved one or yourself whatever that is so you have to
make a decision about is it better to keep that person and provide some extra
training to make the match fit or is it better to hire another individual go
through the same process again and a little bit of that depends on your own
feelings about that caregiver but part of that needs to come from the person
they're taking care of so your loved one are they comfortable with that
individual if they're not then start exploring the process of hiring an
additional or a new person and you'll have to decide what the risk is do you
want to phase that person out slowly over time and adding a new person in or
do you just want to terminate the their caregiving at that very moment in time
so don't believe that one caregiver will stay with you forever you have to be
prepared to introduce more and more people into that they are giving since
one size doesn't fit all right so let's talk about elder abuse real
quickly we need to hit on that so can you tell us if that's a risk and concern
yes that can be I think with any caregiver abuse can happen whether it's
burnout or verbal abuse and so it can happen with any care
so it's good to keep an eye on things look for a bruise under clothing stay
connected visit with the one who's being cared for LaDawn do you have examples unfortunately
the statistics demonstrate that more abuse happens in the home than it does
in institutional settings or places that you might take someone we have this
hesitation or this worry that abuse is happening in health care facilities
which it does happen but the truth of the matter is based on the law
enforcement statistics there is more abuse committed in the home setting than
anywhere else I'm part of that has to do with less supervision if you're living
in a nursing home there's a lot of people around there's lots of people
watching each other when you're in the home setting there's not a lot of
supervision so you want to make sure that the person that you hire is going
to be taking care of your person the way you want them to so I guess the
important thing as Deby said is to look for signs do extra supervision make sure
that you have used the due diligence resources that are available to you and
don't hesitate to report and ask questions if you suspect or concerned or
you're not clicking with that caregiver and you're starting to worry be sure to
report ok cost what are we talking about roughly in terms of cost for cost it's
approximately a hundred and twenty-five dollars a day for full care and it may
be less if it's part part-time so that that can really add up over time any
financial options for folks to help get help paying for in-home care yeah there
are several options out there Medicare you'd want to look and see if
your loved one qualifies for Medicare home health and you would just go to
medicare.gov for that if they have an advantage plan which is a not original
Medicare you could check with your agent or call 1-800 Medicare
that out okay so Medicaid which is the state level assistance has several
options and I really feel like people should explore Medicaid because you
never know what services you might qualify for there's Medicaid home and
community-based services that help folks stay in their home and provides long
term care assistance there is PCA services personal care assistance
there's a self-direct program where you can hire your own caregiver and and beat
the boss and trainer and then another agency is just the bank they're the
fiscal filter so there's a lot of options out there and then you could
also look at go to eldercare.gov okay to look and for some resources you can look
at a benefits checkup which will tell you what you're it's a great at the
national program and a great screening tool that will let you know what your
loved one is eligible for an even offset some cost so that it's a great program a
reversed mortgage could also be an option for folks so good options then
keep your options open just have a few in a few sentences before we get close
to time being out but I want to know some other options real quickly for
folks if they wouldn't qualify for one of those are there other resources out
there so I would suggest to call the Area for Agency on Aging or your Senior
Center because they really know all these resources and can walk you through
it there are many online tools like the ADRC website and online resource and a
lot of the Area Agency on Aging have senior resource guide okay so sometimes
your local Area for Agency or our agency the Area for Agency on Aging has
resources that maybe are not on the larger online resources
thank you ladies our time has gone by very quickly today I want to thank you

we'll have a bunch of this listed you know on the screen so people can access

Part 1 - Healthy Living for Life - Finding the Right Caregiver for You - Duration: 7:25.
living longer living healthier living better than ever before
welcome to Mountain-Pacific's Healthy Living for Life a weekly series that
gives you the information education and expert insight you need to become an
active participant in today's ever changing health care climate here now as
today's program host as their loved ones age sometimes the best way to help them
stay healthy is to find someone to assist with their care today we will be
exploring what this process looks like welcome to Healthy Living for Life a
show dedicated to helping you do just that I'm your host Lisa Sather today
we'll talk about finding a caregiver and what you should know before getting
started stay tuned welcome back this morning we're talking with LaDawn Whiteside
an AARP volunteer and Deby McNally with the Area Agency on Aging
thank you for joining us today ladies good morning good morning so Deby
let's start out with you could you tell us about what the Area for Agency on
Aging is and your role with them yes the Area for Agency on Aging is a part of
Rocky Mountain Development Council and Rocky Mountain Development Council is a
Community Action Agency it's a part of a network that is a nonprofit
organization and really they were created to fight poverty and fight the
war on poverty and so we have programs like heating assistance headstart
senior services all under this great umbrella the Area Agency on Aging is one
of many were part of aging services Network and this is also nationwide so
the aging services network is a great organization it's tied to the older
Americans Act and so we have several services under our agency we provide
funding as well direct services so some of our programs
we fund include senior centers the congregate meals and the Meals on Wheels
going out of that agency home making services respite services and
transportation so our direct services at Area for Agency on Aging includes
Medicare counseling and our aging services helpline we receive those calls
and under a program called information Assistance and Referral we
have the Ombudsman program and several more okay so my role is outreach and
education coordinator and part of why I'm here today and what I'm doing and I
spent several years as a Chip and INA counselor answering phone calls from
that hotline about the topic that we're here to talk about today
finding caregivers later so it's great to hear more about that
thank you so LaDawn you volunteer with AARP yes and
I'd like to hear a little bit more about your background and what your role as a
volunteer as well like Deby I have done quite a few things that lead me to being
an AARP volunteering with you today and one of those things that I did was
working for the regulatory authority for health care facilities for a long time
and part of my role there was that I was a complaint and abuse coordinator and so
I heard a lot of things from people about not only facilities but staffing
issues and caregiver issues and things like that and then I worked for the
waiver program with the Community Services Bureau for a couple of years
and learned more about what people need and want when they're living in their
own homes and looking for caregivers so when I retired from the state of Montana
I decided I wanted to open a mediation business and part of what I do there is
to work with people who are trying to resolve problems
so when I became a part of the AARP organization they had this program
called prepare to care and so I volunteered to provide this prepare to
care curriculum when people want to and part of the curriculum covers creating a
plan for caregivers in your own home awesome well let's get right into that
so we're gonna talk about finding a caregiver today and why might
someone decide to hire a caregiver for a loved one that's a great question
to start with and just to relieve the burden of the primary caregiver relieve
isolation so more companionship yes so those are great things and one of our
part of our mission of Area For is to help keep people in their home and provide
those home supports so they can remain independent in the community and have a
great quality of life great so if someone decides they want to hire a
caregiver where should they start so I would start by asking questions and
consider the type of caregiver you need full-time part-time do you need a
live-in is it just companionship or friendly visitor or well check calls so
there's a variety of caregivers out there you know do you need a home care
aide home health aide or a little bit more medical on a certified nursing
assistant or an RN so really starting there will help you once you get those
few questions asked that will get you pointed in the right direction and I
think some of the things like Deby had said deciding what you need and then
going out and finding it essentially because a lot of caregivers they do
as much as they can and they really work hard and they feel really committed
because it's their loved one that they're taking care of so when they
realize that they need some help part of it is to take care of their
loved one and part of it is to take care of
themselves as a caregiver so reaching out and saying in your head and
verbalizing that to people about I need help with this thing at this time of day
or this time a week I can do everything but this thing I need help with and
being specific and what you need and then go in finding that either
professional caregiver friend and family that can help you with caregiving this
really important job excellent all right so we're going to take a short break
here for just a couple minutes lady ladies and then we'll be right back to
get into a little bit more information stay tuned

PCS Module 2 Preparations for PCS - Virginia Plant List - Duration: 1:28.
Functional groups are groups of plants that have similar growth habits and management
needs.
In this module, we'll refer to a list of common plant species found in Virginia pastures
as an example.
The plant list has two primary sections: desirable species and less desirable species.
The desirable species are then divided into four different functional groups: cool-season
grasses, warm-season grasses, legumes, and forbs.
A healthy pasture typically needs a mixture of functional groups to provide desirable
species to livestock during the entire growing season.
In the Virginia example, the less desirable species are divided into two different groups:
intermediate and undesirable.
These species are considered less desirable
based on the forage preferences of the livestock in a pasture.

Trent Alexander-Arnold ready for biggest 'physical and mental' test of his Liverpool career - Duration: 4:06.
Trent Alexander-Arnold ready for biggest 'physical and mental' test of his Liverpool career
Liverpool youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold faces arguably the toughest test of his short career so far in Rome on Wednesday but the teenager is confident what he has learned will stand him in good stead.
The 19-year-old came in for criticism after being exposed by Manchester United's Marcus Rashford and Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha in quick succession in March but has bounced back with a string of good performances.
However, Roma's Stadio Olimpico is likely to be the fiercest atmosphere the teenager has faced even if Liverpool carry a 5-2 advantage into the Champions League semi-final second leg.
But he insists he is up to the task.
"We are going there with a job to do, to go there and win," he said.
"I try not to (get fazed).
Obviously we know it is going to be an intimidating atmosphere and that is what they will look to do just as our fans did to them.
"We have to be prepared mentally and physically.
Asked how he will cope, Liverpool-born Alexander-Arnold said: "Just think as mature as possible.
Look at the players around you and what they do in this situation.
"The senior players have helped me.
Maybe earlier in the season I would not have made the decisions I do now.
I can see what I could do better and it prepares me.
"You train all your life – for years – for these types of games and these chances.
Everything I have done so far is to prepare me for a game like Wednesday.".
The England Under-21 international, who has a chance of making Gareth Southgate's senior squad for this summer's World Cup, admits his ordeal at Old Trafford was a significant moment in his season.
"A tough game, a tough day.
One of those you learn from," he added.
"The mistakes I made that day I learned from to make sure it does not happen again.
"I have tried to bounce back from them and prove myself with good performances from that day.
If Alexander-Arnold, who grew up within walking distance of Liverpool's Melwood training ground, is feeling the pressure he does a good job of hiding it and has taken great encouragement from messages on social media.
"Recently I had loads of things saying I have now played the same number of Champions League games (10) as Everton.
That was quite funny.
I enjoyed seeing that," he said.

Part 2 - Healthy Living for Life - Finding the Right Caregiver for You - Duration: 6:51.
welcome back LaDawn Whiteside and Deby McNally are here with us to continue our
discussion on finding a caregiver welcome back ladies Deby let's start
let's start out with you let's start talking a little bit more about
specifics on finding specific types of caregivers and can you talk to us a
little bit about companion caregivers a little bit more detail so companion
caregivers or personal care assistants they really help in the home to do light
housekeeping preparing meals and sometimes they assist with a little bit
of personal care washing bathing but really that helps with the little things
non-medical and then that companionship to maybe helping with medications
picking them up at the pharmacy and maybe some errands or shopping ok LaDawn
do you want to talk to us if about if somebody needs a caregiver with a little
bit more training a lot of caregivers have no experience
in caregiving or they have some experience but they have had no formal
training and there is a program called powerful tools for caregivers and that
is through MSU Extension Office but you can find out about how to participate or
attend the powerful tools for caregivers by calling the Extension agency or an
ombudsman in your area a long-term care Ombudsman in your area and that provides
the layperson some information so that they have more tools more resources and
training to provide the care that's necessary
usually a certified nurse's aide or a nurse or a medication assistant a
professional or licensed certified person has a lot of information so they
come to the job with a lot of information to help take care of the
person but people who have never been caregivers or really had no training the
powerful tools for caregivers is really a wonderful opportunity and also again
I'm gonna refer to prepare to care book because it
kind of leads a person down the path of how to find me how to find somebody that
you need whether it's a in home whether it's a family member or whether it's
somebody through a blog a caregiving blog or church organization affiliation
something like that there are a lot of caregiver programs that you can access
excellent sounds like a lot of great resources thank you and if someone needs
somebody with a little bit more medical expertise how would you go about
that so you would look towards an RN registered nurse maybe some more
advanced care maybe if they have cancer or some of those more hired metals call
specialized needs so I would start with the RN I also wanted to say that it's
important that you know all these different helpers or caregivers we can
hire have different training requirements and that may vary by state
by state so you know while we're talking them about a little here it's important
to to really ask the questions and find out their qualifications and what they
can and cannot do and hiring that's excellent leads right into my next
question what kind of questions should we be asking when we're thinking about
interviewing a caregiver can we have some tips on that I think that would be
helpful yeah I think asking for their qualifications or references making sure
to do an interview with them is important too then if you're hiring
privately making sure to do a background check there's a registry for at the
state level for CNAs where you can call and see where they're out with their
requirements as a consumer so it's it's great to look at those it's important to
get a great match so personality wise making sure that
your loved one clicks with the caregiver is important too I would just like to
add that when you're hiring a caregiver it's very similar in a person in an
employment situation that's really what you're doing if you're hiring a
paid or you're asking somebody to volunteer in your home you want to do
the same kind of review that you would do if the person was working for you
because that's really what they're doing so double checking options that are
available free options that are available the reference checks the nurse
aide registration program through the Quality Assurance Division checking with
those references just don't accept the letters contact those people be really
comfortable with the person that you're bringing into your home because they
have access to everything so making sure that you're your loved one and your home
is safe from whoever you bring in is really important and again AARP has a lot
of resources that have to do with fraud prevention and elder exploitation so
prepare yourself with information don't just bring a person in that you've never
met before and expect them to know how to do things stand beside them watch
supervise the care that they're providing for a while and make sure that
they're doing it in in accordance with your desires and your information very
very good you have to say - when hiring with the agency that you're going
through a larger agency or smaller agency when choosing that agency I would
suggest you ask if it's if the same aide would be coming on a regular basis some
people want the same service and caregiving is so intimate so
making that match is important absolutely because the caregiver
essentially becomes a car part of your family yes they're there a lot typically
and as time goes on there's spending more and more time very good and I would
imagine it's really important to set your expectations out in advance so they
yes everybody is on the same page and knows what to expect excellent well
thank you ladies we're going to take a short break here and we're going to come
back and finish up here in just a couple minutes stay tuned we'll be right back

Wireless Charging Pad for iPhone and Apple Watch - Duration: 4:53.
- Welcome to another Your Tech Reporter video and today
we're going hands on with the first ever charging mat
for the iPhone 10 and Apple Watch.
(laser music)
Now we all know Apple has yet to actually release
their own version of a charging mat for their
iPhone 10 and Apple Watch, both of which support
the Qi Wireless Charging Protocol.
Well there are companies that are taking advantage
of the fact that Apple doesn't have any solution for this
and one of which is Funxim.
I'm hoping I'm pronouncing that properly.
Funxim.
This launched as a Kickstarter campaign quite a while back
when the iPhone 10 was announced and it was available
on Kickstarter for a pledge of $29 US dollars or more.
The retail price is going to be more around $70,
if you actually want to get into that right now.
If you do a little Google search there or check down
in the description, you can see
the Funxim fast wireless charging pad.
They claim up to 80% faster than the existing
Qi Wireless Charging Pads on the market
and this one, as you can see here, on the back of the box,
is designed for the Apple Watch and the iPhone 10,
so we're gonna unbox this right now for you
and put this to the test.
So what's inside the box?
Well, we're going to actually open the box
right now to find out what's inside the box.
I love it when Kickstarter projects actually
come to life and they actually arrive because
sometimes there are Kickstarter projects
that don't actually come to fruition,
so inside here we have a little cable holder over there.
This is meant to hold wires in place.
You've got the manual right there.
You've got a micro USB charging cable, which we're
going to unravel right now and here's the actual
charging pad itself, so this is the black model.
It comes in various models, black and white.
So this is the interesting element of this.
What they don't tell you or at least
if you don't pay attention, is that you need to use
your own Apple watch charger, so you can pop this open here,
like this, the little case here on the bottom
and you ravel your own Apple Watch charger into it yourself.
So there's a little notepad here that gives you
a couple of ideas on how to actually wind the cable.
It shows you that if you have the point three meter
Apple Watch cable, then there's one way to wind it
and if you, let me zoom that in here a bit better
so you can see that, and if you have the one meter
Apple Watch cable, then it should go a different way
because you can wrap it around twice.
So let's give this go first and we're going to
go with the recommendation that it says,
which is cable in like this and it says we should
be able to wrap this around twice
in the grooves that are provided.
Okay, it's wrapped around once and then it says
we should be able to wrap it around a second time
and it does let us wrap it around a second time,
so depending on the size cable you have, you're going
to want to pay attention to the instructions,
unlike what I did, so I wrapped it around a second time
and then the second time, it grooves right here
and the USB cable sits very nicely over there.
Then we'll close the back door, so to speak over here.
Close the back door and there we have our
Qi Wireless Charging Pad, made for the Apple Watch
and the iPhone 10.
It evens comes with a little rubber pad
here that you can see.
This rubber pad will stick to the bottom of the pad
here itself, where the Apple Watch charger is
and this hold it in place, so you don't have to worry
about it not sitting properly for your watch.
So once we have the pad here, we're going to take
our Apple Watch and you can see how it sits nicely
over there and then the iPhone 10 is going to sit
nicely next it it, like that and charge.
In terms of the speed of the charge, we're going
to have to put that to a little bit longer of a test,
but we'll update you in the description definitely.
Another thing to mention about the Funxim Charging Pad
for the iPhone 10 and the Apple Watch is unlike
Apple's own charging pad, which will be coming out,
we assume, this year, it can charge the Apple Watch
all the way back to the Generation One.
Why is this?
Well, the Apple Watch Generation Three,
so the Apple Watch Three uses the Qi Charging Protocol,
but all previous generations of the Apple Watches
don't use that protocol but because this charging pad
has your on Apple Watch cable in it, literally,
you have your own Apple Watch cable coiled into the device,
it will be compatible with any other Apple Watch device
that you may have had, whether it be the Apple Watch One,
Series Two or Series Three, along with,
of course, charging your iPhone Ten.
Funxim Wireless Charging Pad, fast wireless charging pad,
with Qi technology for the Apple Watch and the iPhone Ten,
of course you have to have the Apple Watch charger
in place in order to get that going.
That's the kind of fine print you don't realize when
you buy a device like that.
Available on Kickstarter for 29; it's going to be
in retail for about $70, but it is the first fast
charging pad for the iPhone 10 and the Apple Watch, combo.

PCS Module 4 Causative Factors For Plant Vigor - Duration: 1:22.
In the previous module, you learned how the color and size of plants give you important
information about the vigor of desirable and intermediate species.
Estimating the rate of the regrowth following harvest and measuring productivity can also
give you a broad understanding of plant health within the pasture.
Signs like yellow leaves and poor productivity indicate that plants aren't growing as well
as they could be.
But how do you know what's causing the problem?
In this module, we'll explore the six causative factors that affect plant vigor: Soil fertility, Soil pH, Severity of use, Site adaptation of desired species, Climatic stresses, and Insect and Disease pressure.
For example, you'll learn how factors like poor soil fertility and climatic stresses
negatively affect plants.
This information will help you provide an overall assessment of a pasture's condition.
