Renewing a mortgage is more than just re-signing with your existing lender. Today I sit down with Elan Weintraub to discuss everything related to mortgages and renewals. Treat it like a financial checkpoint that aligns with your career, family plans, and cash flow, not just a headline rate. We dig into the real levers you control, and uncover key questions you should ask:Why is a 30 year amortization often a good idea?Considerations for paying down the mortgage fasterWhy every 4% rate isn't the same (interest can compound too)What do I need to know about adjustable vs variable rate mortgages?What are the range of prepayment options?Are tax strategies real or overhyped?What are the pros and cons of mortgage laddering?If you've got a renewal coming up or want to future-proof your financing, this is a concise masterclass on what actually moves the needle. If this helped you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a colleague who's staring at a renewal letter right now.Arya EHR: https://www.aryaehr.com/Elan Weintraub:https://www.linkedin.com/in/elan-weintraub-9683702/https://mortgageoutlet.ca/Yatin:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yatin-chadha/Radiology Courses for Clinicians:https://beyondradiology.thinkific.com/courses/ct-head-interpretation-coursehttps://beyondradiology.thinkific.com/courses/master-ct-head-interpretation-courseAmerican express referral link (for all Amex cards):https://americanexpress.com/en-ca/referral/business-platinum?ref=yATINC4uFw&XLINK=MYCP

Contact Welcomed HereBefore discussing the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and how they can be applied to all compulsive behaviors and obsessive thoughts consider this: Identifying the mental problem of addiction, like diagnosing any disease, includes the individual identifying with the problem as the one who may have the problem. If we are free to choose what and how we think - then we are each solely able to determine how and what we do with problems and suffering we create. Focal points: The steps are based on principles. Responsiblity, Choice and Freedom are all Absolute Natural States of human nature. Consideration is an awakened eyes wide open deliberation as a meditative contemplation. We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the Law and Order of our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm Our indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible jibbersh of ignorance - not reality.
In this episode, we explore the detailed halachic principles surrounding the performance of Bris Milah (circumcision) on Shabbat. We discuss the sequence of procedures—cutting, folding back, and blood removal—along with permissible healing practices, and how these are integrated into Shabbat observance. Key topics include the handling of remaining skin strands, performing Bris on children born prematurely, and the parameters for children born during twilight or via Cesarean section. Medical, historical, and rabbinic perspectives are considered to clarify when and how the mitzvah may be performed while balancing Shabbat restrictions.

If so, you might want to check out Webform Scheduled Tasks Module name/project names Webform Scheduled Tasks Brief history Created by mattgill on 22 November 2017 It has a 3.0-rc1 release available with Drupal 10 compatibility and is awaiting review of it's automated D11 fixes. Maintainership Its last release was in November 2023, but just a month ago I helped get Sean Dietrich approved as a new maintainer, so I'm hoping for a new release in the near future. It has security coverage. Tests exist to test the full functionality of the module and they are passing. There is no standalone documentation, although a README is RTBC'ed. That said, the module page has a straightforward description of what the module does and how to use it, and getting it up and running is very straightforward. Number of open issues: 24 open issues, only 1 of which is a bug against the current branch. I'll also note there are 8 issues that are RTBC, so we should be seeing some fixes forthcoming. Usage stats: 817 sites Module features and usage Once you enable the module, Webforms will have an additional “Scheduled tasks” configuration screen. You can create a task to email all results or just the results since the last export. Once you enable a scheduled task, you can set a number of options: its next scheduled run and the run interval (in hours, days, weeks, etc) where to email the results, in what format (JSON or CSV), whether to delete submissions after they're sent There's also a RTBC patch to allow you to configure file names to include date-time of export, which can help the recipients keep track of the exports. After that, you just sit and wait for cron to do its thing.
Oh God, have mercy on me a sinner
Renounce sin in the name of the Son of the living God
Dr. Naima Maqsood, Dr. Kelly Arps, and Dr. Jake Roberts discuss the acute management of atrial fibrillation with guest expert Dr. Jonathan Chrispin. Episode audio was edited by CardioNerds Intern Dr. Bhavya Shah. This episode reviews acute management strategies for atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is the most common chronic arrhythmia worldwide and is associated with increasingly prevalent comorbidities, including advanced age, obesity, and hypertension. Atrial fibrillation is a frequent indication for hospitalization and a complicating factor during hospital stays for other conditions. Here, we discuss considerations for the acute management of atrial fibrillation, including indications for rate versus rhythm control strategies, treatment targets for these approaches, considerations including pharmacologic versus electrical cardioversion, and management in the post-operative setting. CardioNerds Atrial Fibrillation PageCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll CardioNerds Journal ClubSubscribe to The Heartbeat Newsletter!Check out CardioNerds SWAG!Become a CardioNerds Patron! Pearls A key component to the management of acute atrial fibrillation involves addressing the underlying cause of the acute presentation. For example, if a patient presents with rapid atrial fibrillation and signs of infection, treatment of the underlying infection will help improve the elevated heart rate. Selecting a rate control versus rhythm control strategy in the acute setting involves considerations of comorbid conditions such as heart failure and competing risk factors such as critical illness that may favor one strategy over another. Recent data strongly supports the use of rhythm control in heart failure patients. Patients should be initiated on anticoagulation prior to pursuing a rhythm control strategy. There are several strategies for rate control medications with therapies including beta-blockers, non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, and digoxin. The selection of which agent to use depends on additional comorbidities and the overall clinical assessment. For example, a patient with severely decompensated low-output heart failure may not tolerate a beta-blocker or calcium channel blocker in the acute phase due to hypotension risks but may benefit from the use of digoxin to provide rate control and some inotropic support. Thromboembolic prevention remains a cornerstone of atrial fibrillation management, and considerations must always be made in terms of the duration of atrial fibrillation, thromboembolic risk, and risks of anticoagulation. While postoperative atrial fibrillation is more common after cardiac surgeries, there is no major difference in management between patients who undergo cardiac versus non-cardiac procedures. Considerations involve whether the patient has a prior history of atrial fibrillation, surgery-specific bleeding risks related to anticoagulation, and monitoring in the post-operative period to assess for recurrence. Notes 1. Our first patient is a 65-year-old man with obesity, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and pre-diabetes presenting for evaluation of worsening shortness of breath and palpitations. The patient has no known history of heart disease. Telemetry shows atrial fibrillation with ventricular rates elevated to 130-140 bpm. What would be the initial approach to addressing the acute management of atrial fibrillation in this patient? What are some of the primary considerations in the initial history and chart review? An important first step involves taking a careful history to understand the timing of symptom onset and potential underlying causes contributing to a patient's acute presentation with rapid atrial fibrillation. Understanding the episode trigger determines management by targeting reversible causes of the acute presentation and elucidating whether the episode is triggered by a cardiac or non-c...

Watch the FULL podcast here: https://youtu.be/Lw6iZbZBiw8Thinking about TRT for low testosterone? This clip takes a closer look at who genuinely benefits from testosterone replacement therapy, what current evidence suggests about safety, and why fertility planning is crucial.I'm exploring with my guest how to distinguish primary from secondary hypogonadism, why symptoms plus true biochemical low testosterone are needed for a diagnosis, and the point that if total testosterone is above 12, TRT isn't indicated. This discussion focuses on updated data around prostate and cardiovascular risk, key contraindications such as active prostate cancer, polycythemia, and heart failure, and the reality that exogenous testosterone suppresses FSH and sperm production, acting like a male contraceptive and not always fully reversible. We also cover off-label options like clomiphene and hCG to support endogenous testosterone when fertility is a priority, the importance of screening for metabolic issues like dyslipidemia and prediabetes, lifestyle considerations, and the social pressures that drive recreational use. There's a brief reflection on age-related declines, the idea that testosterone may drop after men have children, and how broader environmental factors might fit into the picture.As a nutritionist and health communicator, I aim to connect the science with practical, balanced advice so you can discuss options confidently with your clinician.***This episode is sponsored by: NOWATCH: Health tracking reimaginedKnow your body, trust yourself.15% off with code LWBW15 at nowatch.com***Sign up to Sarah's Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.
