Dr Clare Day and Dr Daisy Lund are two plant-based health professionals working as NHS GP's in London. They have their own podcast, In A Nutshell, with the aim to improve nutritional education about the benefits of a whole-foods plant based diet for individual and planetary health.Dr Day has worked as a GP in a range of settings including community and prison healthcare, having qualified as a doctor in 2011. Prior to studying Graduate Medicine she studied Science Communication and Policy, joined the Civil Service and worked at HM Treasury as a Policy Advisor. She has been vegan for a number of years and is convinced of the benefits for long term health of eating whole food plant based. Explanations of how dietary change can help long term conditions is something she tries to put at the very centre of consultations with curious patients. She also does plant-based teaching for trainee GPs and colleagues. Like the rest of us she is learning everyday about food and health, and most importantly the barriers to change for individuals.  Dr Lund is a practising GP with over 20 years' experience of working in the NHS. She is a GP trainer and medical educator at Imperial College in London, UK.Dr Lund has an interest in preventative medicine and holistic health and incorporates diet and lifestyle into her consultations. She has completed the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate at the University of Winchester and is passionate about nutrition education for health care professionals. Together with a GP colleague, Dr Claire Day, she co-hosts ‘In a Nutshell' the Plant Based Health Professionals UK podcast.In this episode we debunk a whole heap of vegan myths, marvel at how swimming makes us put on weight, we talk running, and how we get B12, iron and other vital vitamins and minerals. You can listen to all their podcast episodes here :https://linktr.ee/inanutshellpodcast And find out more about the work of The Plant- Based Health Professionals UK here :https://plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com/

Suppose that you wanted to tell your best friend about eternal life. What would you say? Everything you need to know about eternal life is in the Bible. You could take your Bible and go to your friend's house and read about it from the Bible. Let's see, what should you read? The Bible is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament, sixty-six books, 1189 chapters, and 31,173 verses. That is a little bit scary isn't it? It would be easy to for you to get lost and confused. What if we could shrink the message of eternal life down so small that it could fit inside a nutshell? That would be great, wouldn't it? May God bless you as you engage in worship. Please feel free to leave feedback/comments to let us know you joined in worship.

Seit fast sieben Jahren erklären Philipp Dettmer und sein mittlerweile 35-köpfiges Team jetzt schon, wie die Welt funktioniert.

For our inaugural episode of Midwest Misfits, we discuss healthcare and head off on many tangents surrounding this complicated and divisive topic. From Obamacare problems to pharma drama, Healthcare is the hot button issue for the 2020 election. Let's talk about what we know and learn some lessons about the things we don't. "The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives.” According to data from OECD, the US government spent $10,209 on healthcare per capita, or per person, in 2017... That's more than any other country in OECD's 36-country consortium, and over $2,000 more than Switzerland, the second-highest spending country. US spends 16.9% of GDP. All other countries spend about 8.8% of their GDP on Healthcare. For example, Switzerland is at 12.2% and the next closest to the US on spending. THE USA SHOWCASES: Higher spending does not correlate to better outcomes or use of healthcare. WHAT IS A SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM? Physicians for a Medicare for All Nonprofit Agency states: Single Payer is a system in which a single public or quasi-public agency organizes health care financing, but the delivery of care remains largely in private hands. Under a single-payer system, all residents of the U.S. would be covered for all medically necessary services, including doctor, hospital, preventive, long-term care, mental health, reproductive health care, dental, vision, prescription drug and medical supply costs. This is public/ private partnership- we cover everyone- but those providing the care are still managed by private companies. Over $500 billion in administrative savings would be realized by replacing today’s inefficient, profit-oriented, multiple insurance payers with a single streamlined, nonprofit, public payer. Insurance companies would no longer spend their budgets on marketing and advertising→ instead would actually cover care Premiums would disappear, and 95 percent of all households would save money. Patients would no longer face financial barriers to care such as co-pays and deductibles, and would regain free choice of doctor and hospital. Doctors would regain autonomy over patient care. WHY EXPANDING OBAMACARE WON'T WORK About 30 million people will still be uninsured in 2023, and tens of millions will remain underinsured. Insurers will continue to strip down policies, maintain restrictive networks, limit and deny care, and increase patients’ co-pays, deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs. The law preserves our fragmented financing system, making it impossible to control costs. The law continues the unfair financing of health care, whereby costs are disproportionately borne by middle- and lower-income Americans and those families facing acute or chronic illness. Cost/ Sustainability: Large-scale cost controls (negotiated fee schedule with physicians, bulk purchasing of drugs, hospital budgeting, capital planning, etc.) ensure that benefits are sustainable over the long term. In A Nutshell: cost savings of advertising, marketing, administrative costs, and being able to control the price of drugs, medical devices, etc… would lower costs significantly... In 2012, the pharmaceutical industry spent more than $27 billion on drug promotion — more than $24 billion on marketing to physicians and over $3 billion on advertising to consumers. That is a total of 54 billion that could go to actually providing care We are also exploring the candidates looking to unseat Nebraska's, Senator Ben Sasse.

Running Through Corridors Volume 2. IN A NUTSHELL 1970s Doctor Who is revisited, reviewed and re-evaluated in the second volume of this fan favourite. REVIEW Long, long ago, (OK, it was 2009, the first gap year since Doctor Whos return to our screens in 2005), two men gave themselves a quest. Too boldly watch and write about every single episode of our favourite television show in the space of a single year... And It is fitting that in 2016 the year second great gap year, that volume two has finally materialised into our book shelves. For those of us who have been living on the dark side of the moon (or egg - depending on your personal canon) who may not have read the first "Running Through Corridors" you have missed a treat. Volume One covered the 1960s while this volume covers the 1970s and a third volume should cover everything else up to the end of the Tenth Doctors tenure. Authors/friends Rob Sherman. (Dalek/Chimes of midnight) and Toby Hadoke. (Moths Ate my Doctor Who Scarf, whosround and more DVD extras than you can shake a stick at) are not only watching every episode of our favourite show but also finding positive and witty things to say about each and everyone. Received fan wisdom is often a welcome casualty of this reasonably mammoth tome. There is nothing but love on display here. Its the love you have for a member of your own family, forgiving and all embracing. Emphasising the positive, while accepting that nothing is perfect - even City of Death. The only thing that could make this will any better be the immediate release of Volume three. It may it may have taken have taken years of this book to finally arrive but it was definitely worth the wait. Just don't ask Rob when Volume Three will be out. No one likes to see a grown author cry. INSERT ITEM INFO. End of review

David A. ZimmerPractice ManagerCorporate Learning & TrainingVeris Associates, Inc.Mention the word “Negotiation” and watch the reactions. Some shrink in fear, others start to salivate, some run for cover, and others sport a worn, plaid sports jacket. It is a word that means many things to many people. For the majority, it is a negative term. For those who “got one over,” images of fond memories come to mind. Why is that? Why can a word have so many meanings and evoke such variety of emotions?Know The BasicsIt boils down to the fact that most people are not taught the basics of negotiation, and yet each day, they negotiate some agreement. Granted, many agreements don’t have dire circumstances like a hostage crisis or millions of dollars saved by getting a lower price by just one penny.Most negotiations happen without people knowing they are negotiating. For example, ask someone for a pen to sign your name and you’ve just “negotiated.” Disagree about a particular method of work and come to a consensus of a better way is negotiation. Speaking with your manager about the priority of work creates a negotiation session. And so forth.As a project management specialist and managing many projects, I’ve had the opportunity to negotiate – some pleasant situations and some not so sweet. As project managers, typically we have responsibility for certain work being accomplished but no authority to make it happen. As a result, everything we do could be considered negotiation. Those who learn tips and techniques to gain the desired outcome do much better than those who bulldog their way through life. Ignorance in this case is costly.Negotiation: Art not WarLet’s understand negotiation is not the art of war. Depending on the situation, we might need to strategize and map a course for our negotiation. Regardless of the circumstances, we must realize the art of negotiation is really the art of cooperation. While in the middle of it, it may not appear or feel like cooperation, but if neither side cooperates, no agreement will be struck. Cooperation from both sides is critical to successful negotiation.Negotiation DefinitionNegotiation is defined as:to deal or bargain with others to manage, transact, or conduct to move through, around, or over in a satisfactory manner. All the definitions bear on negotiations between people. Therefore, three tactics help you become a better negotiator and arrive at better agreements.Tactic 1: Know Your OpponentMany people approach negotiation in a defensive manner. They clinch their teeth, steel their gut, and prepare for war. They know what they want from the deal and never stop to consider the other side’s viewpoint. Good negotiators understand their opponent.Here are the areas to know: Background. What is their background – culture, economics, social status, educational level, company position, etc. Are they putting on a front or air that facts don’t support? What are their goals? How will they benefit from the deal?Needs. What does the opponent need from this agreement? What are the minimal requirements for them to feel satisfied? What desires would create a very satisfied opponent? Are they important to you? What is their motivation for the agreement?Win. What would they consider a “win?” Can you give it to them without compromising or jeopardizing your position? Why are they negotiating? Why now? Can they wait for a decision or do they have to gain consensus immediately? If immediately, what is pushing them to that point?Style. What is their style during negotiating? Are they laid back and unassuming or are they harsh, blusterous and forceful. Do they demand or are they willing to converse? Interesting fact here: Most people don’t prepare themselves for the negotiation. They think they know what a win looks like for them, but they don’t understand their opponent.What if you don’t have time to prepare or you can’t seem to answer some of the questions listed above? Simple. Ask! That’s right, ask your opponent those questions. You will be able to tell from the answers if they are bluffing or not. More importantly, it builds a rapport between you and them. Three Types of WinThere are three types of “win:” Full Load – The agreement that gives you everything you could possibly want and more. It has all the bells and whistles. It even comes with whipped cream and a cherry on top. It is the ultimate deal.“True” Win – It has all the necessary components and desires met. It doesn’t have the bells or whistles, but it is complete.Negotiated Win – you’ve compromised, given some things and removed some things but overall, a very satisfactory result. You need to understand the three types of wins for both sides to be truly effective. Tactic 2: Know Your Plan To be effective, you must create and know your plan. You must identify three things about your plan to be effective: Know What You Want – make a list of the items that must be in the agreement for you to feel satisfied. Consider this your True Win state. You’ve agreed to the important parts of the deal and gained some additional aspects. It meets more than your minimum requirements. It might have a few bells and whistles, but it won’t have the whipped cream and cherry on top. That’s ok; you’re on a diet anyway.Know What You Will Give Up – always enter a negotiation with things that add value to the agreement for you, but you are willing to give up to move the negotiations along. It must be something tangible and valuable to you, but you agree to not make them a sticking point. Your opponent will see it as your willingness to come to agreement.By the same token, you should have a list of items you are willing to give that provide value to the opponent but don’t “cost” you much in terms of the agreement. Both gestures give the impression of willingness to reach agreement – very important for a good deal on both sides.Know When To Walk Away – taken from a Kenny Rogers’ country-western song, “You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em and you’ve got know when to fold ‘em.” Know your “walk away” level. No matter how important the deal is, there is a point where it is no longer profitable to continue the discussion or to strike the arrangement. It is better to walk away and do without than it is to come to settlement. You’ve have to decide that point BEFORE you start to negotiate. Make the decision before it becomes necessary and than stick with the decision when the time comes. Negotiations are inherently emotionally driven. In the heat of the battle, hanging in longer than the walk-away point does no one any good.Tactic 3: Know Several Styles and Methods Know your style of negotiation. Here are a few: Pushy/Bullying – intimidates the other party into submission. Works for a very short period of time, but the other party is coerced and will eventually ruin the agreementConfidently Promoting – Someone who appears to know what they want and waits to get it. They have all the time in the world, especially when you don’t.Quietly Manipulating – very subtle approach using innuendo to convince you a particular requirement you stated is immaterial or minor to the situation when it might be a very important component to you. Mimics the peer pressure approach you experienced as a teenager.Carefully Suggesting – one side suggests a particular “benefit” because they are looking out for the other sides’ best interest.
