Illinois HomeCare Council
November is Home Care and Hospice Month in Illinois. As president of the Illinois HomeCare Council, I want to take this opportunity to commend the dedicated home care and hospice providers who are working in communities all across the state. They include home health nurses and aides; physical, occupational and speech therapists; medical social workers; and multidisciplinary hospice teams that include physicians, nursing staff, counselors and clergy. Perhaps the greatest reason home care and hospice providers are truly heroes is that they believe every patient deserves quality care. As part of this commitment, the home care industry has come together to promote a legislative initiative that was signed into law in 2005. Known as the Illinois Home Health, Home Services & Home Nursing Agency Licensing Act, it means that all home care providers are now required to comply with a minimum set of standards that ensure quality care and patient safety.

Cod liver oil (yes, it actually comes from the livers of the cod) is the fish oil that's richer in vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) and vitamin A. You always have options.

Material gain was not our aim. We worked late past midnight for the sake of work itself," he says. That spirit was everywhere at the time, he recalls. “I remember the story of an engineer working on the High Dam. He had to end his work for the day so a new shift would take over. But he did not want to stop, he was in tears as he begged his boss to let him keep working," he says. .
Here's an improvement on democracy
Small doses ok, large doses affect the brain and cause death. It should be illegal in public places and illegal to expose under 21s to it. Any species that tolerates people more concerned with what happens to them after they die and that lets them freeload off the back of secular evolution to the point where they will eventually get nukes and use them in the name of their imaginary gods - ANY species that allows such a situation to develop deserves to go. I just hope western Gvmts wake up and take the planet. If the oil is in the Mid-East, remove the squatters and take the resources. As for Africa, 'nuff said, what a mess, that lot clearly need managed. In time Planet Earth will undoubtably collude with Mother nature to exterminate our entire species when good and ready, so we might as well make the most of the time we have.
