How to Find a Counselor

After you prioritize your preferences, consider the following ways to find the RIGHT counselor for you: 1. Word of mouth This is probably the best way to find someone you can trust. If you are looking for a plumber, hairstylist, or mechanic, you probably ask someone you know for a recommendation. If they trust this person, then you probably feel that you can trust them too. More people have been to a counselor than you might think. Don't be afraid to ask. Ask someone for a recommendation If you are comfortable discussing your need for counseling, you can ask your friends, family, doctor, teachers at school, pastor, lawyer, neighbors, etc. and they may know someone personally - Counselor On-Call . You will feel more comfortable if the person comes highly recommended from someone you know and trust. You may also be able to find out what the counselor is like, how they operate, what they cost, etc. 2. Use the Internet If you are still using the Yellow Pages, you can fi...

Healthcare Compliance? How Do I Know?

  Healthcare Compliance is mandatory, but also so confusing. Providers today seem stuck with one of two choices; first, ignore compliance, or do as little training as possible in hopes of staying out of trouble, or second, dedicate enormous amounts of money and time to stay current. There doesn't seem to be a third choice out there for providers to have their staff trained in current regulations, and not have to spend thousands of dollars to accomplish this. The following tips will allow you to realize there is another choice. For the better part of my career, I've been working almost exclusively in healthcare compliance and government regulations where I've taken thousands of calls from healthcare professionals with different compliance related questions. The calls come from every state and from nearly every specialty. Some of my favorite’s questions include: "Do we need to burn used needles in the back-parking lot?" "Can HIPAA give a fine to my employee for...

Effective Compliance Program Components

 The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has issued a voluntary Compliance Program Guidance for individual and group practices. The OIG created this program to prevent fraudulent conduct and reduce the number of erroneous claims submitted to Medicare and Medicaid. The OIG thinks that a healthcare provider can use internal controls to ensure adherence to federal program requirements. The OIG feels that implementing a compliance program shows that a practice is making good faith efforts to submit claims appropriately. They have compiled seven components of an effective compliance program. * A practice should conduct regular reviews on policies and procedures to ensure they are up-to-date and complete. This benchmarking allows a practice to document the decrease or increase in paid and denied claims. Then, review internal processes to ensure that coding and documentation is being conducted properly - Nursing Home Attorney  L...

Why Health Care Companies Are in Need of Health Care Law Firms

  There are several reasons why health care companies utilize health care law firms. Due to the nature of the industry, agencies must secure legal representation to defend against certain claims and lawsuits. This can be in the form of class action suits, along with individual and even corporate claims. These specialized lawyers represent the providers in these cases. They also represent health professionals and organizations in regulatory and business matters. The latter helps ensure that all companies strictly comply with industry regulations and rules. In the event a particular product, service, or company offering is challenged, an attorney must step in to protect his or her clients - Doctors Lawyer . At times, medical companies may even face investigations by governing bodies and law enforcement. While state and federal regulatory agencies are always present, these companies cannot rely on these bodies to come to their rescue. This is especially true if a particu...

Doing Well by Doing Good: Law Firm Social Responsibility

  Corporations increasingly subscribe to the principle of corporate social responsibility. CSR is based on the belief that a demonstration of concern for the environment, human rights, community development and the welfare of their employees can make a corporation more profitable. And if not more profitable, at least a better place to work - Healthcare System Law Firm . Law firms can learn from corporate experience to create their own social responsibility programs. Such programs can help law firms to do well by doing good. They can strengthen the firm's reputation and market position. They can help the firm identify with the culture and CSR activities of clients and potential clients. They can help lawyers and staff find more meaning in their work and improve as human beings. In the words of the social responsibility Karma Committee at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck: Be kind. Be generous. Be concerned. Donate time. Donate effort. Donate money.

House Cleaning Tips - Mopping Floors - Should You Use a Steam Mop?

  Mopping floors is such a chore. The heavy mop bucket, the wringing out the mop, the streaks, the needing to go over the floor multiple times is all such a pain. It really is a huge hassle to have to mop your floors the old fashioned way. My cousin suggested the idea of a steam mop to me about two months ago and I said absolutely not. I love my sponge mop and my blue two gallon mop bucket. I realize now that is was just my fear of the unknown talking. But I am surely glad I made the change. I own a cleaning service here in Oklahoma City and mopping is one of the things I do to every home. And when you have a lot of bare floor mopping can become very difficult and time consuming, that is until I found the steam mop. I would go over a floor over and over again trying to make sure it is clean. At least twice with the cleaning solution and another with clean hot water to clean up any residue left behind and to make sure there was not any streaks left. Needless to say how...

Sweat Lodge Protocols and Safety

  First let me say, this is intended to only be a very basic general knowledge and certainly is not all inclusive and does not apply to every tribal tradition and way of practicing the sweat lodge ceremony. It is only a brief description of protocols that from my personal experience seem to be good rules of thumb when attending any Native American ceremony. When attending a ceremony with a particular ceremonial leader of a particular tribe or group, you should consult someone who knows that leader and ceremony for information on what is expected of those attending - yalelodge . Sweat Lodge is a ceremony that has been used by many Native American Tribes and other indigenous people for centuries. Contrary to some people's beliefs, the sweat lodge is not just a sauna. It is a very sacred ceremony of spiritual and physical purification. The main focus is prayer. The sweat lodge is also used for many specific purposes. There are doctoring lodges, lodges to prepare people for other cerem...

Finding Trusted Medical Marijuana Doctors

  A lot of people have a problem finding a qualified and compassionate marijuana doctor. Nowadays, because of the increasing success of medical marijuana within the USA, a lot of marijuana card registration services have been opened. They claim to have all the licenses, which make their card valid in any medical marijuana dispensary of a specific state. But how do you check such statements? This is the exact issue, which keeps marijuana patients awake at night. Nevertheless, there are modes to verify if a marijuana card enterprise is truly licensed. It could take certain efforts and time, and perhaps a slight study from the side of the patient, but in case everything is processed properly, the result will be precise. Of course, patients won't think much about the study and stuff, probably. They would just want to obtain their medical marijuana card from a group or doctor that is properly licensed. Nobody wants to go through troubles. In such a case, the relatives o...

The Secret to Feeling Successful As a Working Mom

    One of the hottest topics of the working world in our current times is the plight of the working mom. That often seemingly illusive quest to "have it all." Some believe it is possible, others see it simply as a pipe dream. We watch with interest and scrutinize every comment and decision Marissa Mayer the new mom CEO of Yahoo makes. She has unwillingly become the face of the modern working mom. Many of us hoped she would use her newfound status to become a role model in shifting how we do business. To show a model that better supports working moms to find that true life balance and feeling of success we desperately crave. Many have been left feeling disappointed. So we wonder. How can we possibly ever feel the success we desire when a working mom as prominent as Mayer is not leading the charge towards the working mom's revolution in the workplace as we had hoped? The truth is that we can. No matter what any other working mom is doing, regardless of her posi...

Quitting Marijuana And Why Weed Is Not So Innocent

  Marijuana use has traditionally been considered to be a gateway drug. It has also been viewed as less harmful and more innocent than other illicit drugs such as heroin or cocaine. As of late, there has been a lot of publicity about marijuana becoming legalized, which makes it seem even safer. The truth is that marijuana is a mind altering drug on the very simplest level. THC potency has been increasing in marijuana for a few decades now. Along with a higher potency come greater risks. Today, marijuana contains more THC than ever before. Consider this and then factor in that marijuana also contains more than 400 additional chemicals. THC is absorbed into the fatty tissues of the body and can be detected long after it is used depending on how often it is used. Knowing all of this, how can marijuana be labeled as safe? The short term effects of using marijuana will compromise the memory, the ability to learn, and lessen problem-solving skills. Smoking marijuana increas...

Marijuana Use Ups the Risk of Abusing More Potent Drugs

    For Michael Murtaugh, who spent his adolescence consuming drugs, running has provided a new lease of life. According to him, "running is still legal in all the 50 states of America," which is not the case as far as smoking pot is concerned. In fact, the latter has the nation divided. Furthermore, the pursuance of a "runner's high" hardly costs anything, while indulgence in substance abuse could invariably lead to job loss, incarceration, ill health, or in some cases even death. There is no such risk involved when one gets a natural "endorphin rush" from a run. Michael's story is no different from the countless other victims of "pot" and "alcohol." Many like him experiment with drugs and other substances to mask the pain of a childhood abuse. Some may inadvertently get into drug abuse due to the early exposure to drugs by family members, friends, etc. With the legalization of recreational pot use, serious concerns have be...

Why Invest in Silver Rather Than Gold?

  The main difference between gold and silver is that gold is held by almost any country as a stabilization device for their currency. Therefore, gold has a special status; governments tend to keep the gold price stable or influence it by holding or selling deposits. Furthermore, gold is treated differently for taxation, being tax free in many countries. In the case of silver in some places the buyer has to pay taxes when purchasing silver - an amount that will be lost when selling. This has to be considered in profit calculations. As gold is a good and reliable form of investment, and there is still a huge price difference between gold and silver, it could be questionable if silver really could become an efficient investment to return profit. Only one kilo of gold today is worth as much as about 50 kilos of silver. The key is in how much silver and gold will be available in the future, and therefore if increasing silver and gold prices could retain the same relationship as today -...

Is Legal Marijuana Bigger Than The Internet of Things?

  The greatest innovation in history - Nothing on Earth today (and I mean nothing at all), not smartphones, automotives, aerospace, real estate, gold, oil, software, biotechnology, nothing... is growing as much or as fast as the market for legal marijuana - pound of kush .

Between 2016 and 2029, the projected growth of marijuana is expected to reach $100 billion - 1,308% growth. Estimates place the number of some time marijuana users in the neighborhood of 50 million people. As many as 7.6 million indulge on a daily basis. Out of the 83.3 million milllennials, fully 68%of them want cannabis to be legal and available. Once legalization takes hold everywhere, dozens of already established firms - in the tobacco industry... in agriculture and i...

Mobile Top Ups - A Modern Lifesaver!

Everybody who is living in a city loves a relaxing weekend in the countryside. Who doesn't like a few days on the beach or the great British outdoors in general? Imagine the following scenario: You and some friends have packed the car with everything you are likely to need during this highly anticipated weekend in the West Country. After 5 hours drive, you are finally there and you open the doors of the quirky, old and thatched roofed cottage in the middle of nowhere - اموزش شارژ حساب در بازی انفجار .

Use Flowcharts to Design Your Code

The use of flowcharts has fallen out of vogue with each passing year. There are many programmers who no longer know what the symbols mean and how flowcharts are used. However, flowcharts should not be discredited as legacy just yet! I have often heard programmers’ comment that they plan their code within their head as they type code, and sometimes with an air of superiority like they are the only people who can perform such a fete. Concepts suspended within one's mind though are fluid and constantly within a state of flux. Being able to concentrate upon a particular part of the code whilst maintaining it's interdependence within the gestalt reality of the rest of the application's code is akin to trying to see the forest through the trees - flowchart creator . Usually when programming directly from our minds we only focus upon resolving the current problem and then move on to the next algorithm without considering other factors that may make our programming dif...

Garage Doors - A Brief Tutorial on Garage Door Safety and Installation

  As a door expert witness, I am called upon many times a year to evaluate garage door injuries. Garage doors come in many shapes and sizes. Their functions range from basic security of an area to cosmetic concealment. Most doors can be broken down into a few basic styles or categories. Typical modern garage doors for residential applications tend to be predominantly of the overhead sectional variety. That style of door comes in many configurations, materials, levels of insulation, and a wide range of appearance possibilities. They are available as a prefabricated kit, or built as a custom design to complement the dacor of any building. Commercial warehouse type installations often dictate higher security requirements. A good choice for this security type of door is the "roll-up" style that resembles a roll top desk type of door. This door can be manufactured with a variety of materials that can be as strong as the adjacent walls, making forced entry through this opening very...

Garage Door Locks - Security, Safety and Convenience

  If you are still looking for the best garage door locks to secure your garage, here are some advice and information gathered from law enforcement and security systems personnel. Choosing Door Locks Replace standard door locks that usually come with garage doors as they are not resistant to picking, hammering and other attacks. For overhead doors that roll up or tilt up, secure them with bolts or padlocks that are installed in the center of the tracks one-fourth of an inch above the roller when the door is closed. You can also choose a padlock and bolt combination and extend the bolt into the metal sleeve and have it recessed into the driveway by about two or three inches. If you choose a padlock and latch combination, make sure the hasp is correctly installed and that the screws are not exposed. Choose a lock able to work with your existing automatic door closer, remote control device and alarm systems. For safety purposes, make sure that your automatic closers have safety mechan...
