![]() ![]() By the way, that grocery budget line is super hard to guess at first, so just start with a really good estimate based on your past spending. Other expenses change up, like groceries or gasoline. Some of these are called fixed expenses-aka the expenses that stay the same every month, like your rent or mortgage. Here’s what it might look like for you (but with your numbers, of course!): Make a budget category for each of these and create budget lines underneath for your specific expenses. You've got to pay yourself first before you pay everyone else!Ĭover your Four Walls. That’s food, utilities, shelter and transportation. I believe in putting 10% of your income here-it’s a great way to start your budget with a spirit of generosity! Next, budget for your savings goals, like an emergency fund (depending on your Baby Step, which I'll talk about more in a minute). Pro tip: When you’re making a budget, before you put in all the things you’ll pay for this month, set aside money for giving. It’s time to list your expenses! (Yep, this is when that bank account or statement gets super helpful.) Now that you’ve planned for the money coming in, you can plan for the money going out. You can adjust later in the month if you make more and add that extra money to your money goal or another budget line. If you’ve got an irregular income, take a look at what you’ve made the last few months and list the lowest amount as this month’s planned income budget line. (Note: You’re working with net income here, meaning what you bring in after taxes or anything else that’s taken out of your paycheck.) Here’s an example: You work weekends as a barista or babysitter? That’s income, and it goes in your budget.Ĭreate separate income budget lines for every paycheck you (and your spouse) get, plus anything extra coming in. Income is any money you plan to get during that month-that means your normal paychecks and any extra money coming your way through a side hustle, garage sale, freelance work or anything like that. That will give you the info you need as you start filling out numbers in your budget. Pro tip: Before you dive into the steps, open up your online bank account or grab your bank statements. Just saying.) Either way, it’s totally okay to start by writing out everything on a sheet of paper. It’s what I use to budget-and it’s the best. No matter how you feel about budgeting right now, no matter what money goals you have, and no matter your income-you can make (and keep!) a budget in just five steps.īut first, decide if you’re making a budget on paper, with a spreadsheet, or in an app. ![]() Keep reading to see how to make it happen so you can make a budget that works for you. When you learn how to make a budget-and do it every month-you’re giving your money purpose. It’s a plan for what’s coming in and what’s going out. It’s not a restriction on spending-it’s a plan for what you’ll do with your money. ![]() Real quick though, let’s define the word budget. Make a New Budget Before the Month Begins.Here’s how to make a budget in five steps. So, here we go-bite by bite, step by step. (You go one bite at a time.) And no one leaps into budgeting like a pro. ![]() Because no one eats an elephant by swallowing it whole. Making a budget might seem overwhelming at first, but hear this: You can do it. ![]()

It works the other way as well – The Arabian Nights was released in 2009 with one set of illustrations, then again in 2016 with different illustrations, but the cover design is almost identical (if you look closely, you can see that some tiny Arabic symbols on the corner of the front cover were replaced with decorative elements for the later edition). The Signature Editions collection were produced as hardbacks between 2011-2012, and then re-released using almost the same cover designs a few years later but with flexibound covers instead. Yes, the books in this series are often re-released with the same internal content and a different binding – many of the titles from the Illustrated Children’s Classicscollection, for example, have the same content as the now out-of-print Rainbow Classicscollection, but have different cover design. Please don’t judge me…) Are some of the books the same just with different covers? I am a big Alice fan if you’d like to see my collection. (I made an exception for that very pretty 2018 Alice omnibus though. And although they look gorgeous, I personally am not a huge fan of the massive omnibus editions because they are really quite unwieldy to read when they get above 600 pages or so. The illustrations are often scanned from reprints, not originals, so they are not as sharp as they could be. And some of the volumes have also had really disappointing errors in the text that are often fixed up in later printings, but that’s not much use if you have an earlier edition (where I am aware of these issues, I have noted the details below). The translations used for foreign language classics are older ones that are in the public domain, and there are often newer ones available that are easier to read (if translation is important to you, I recommend the Penguin Classics, which additionally also have great notes). Internally, I’d classify them as on par with a decent book club edition – they are hybrid bound, with most having sewn signatures glued into the spine, which means they will lay flat, but the glue doesn’t last for a long time. The proof is in the bookshelf, and I have a large number of B&N collectible classics in my own shelves, holding their own against my much more expensive Folio Society and Easton Press books.īut I do have a few caveats. They are all relatively durable hardbacks except for the Flexibound Editions (and even these are way more durable than your average paperback). Most of the books have decorative head and tail bands, gilt or stained page edges, bound-in silk ribbon bookmarks, and decorative hubs on the spine. They are definitely very decorative shelf candy with their gorgeous cover designs and bright colored covers, and I personally think that anything that makes people more likely to pick up and read a classic novel is a great thing. Do they compare in quality to publishers selling fine press leatherbound editions? Of course not. The Flexibound Editions, on the other hand, are pretty much completely faux leather. So yes, most B&N book covers are comprised of about 20% real leather. Basically bonded leather is to leather what chipboard is to wood. In some cases, a second coating of polyurethane can be added and embossed to create a texture closer to real leather. This is basically a mix of both real leather (leftover scraps and fibres from processing genuine leather) and fake leather (typically a polyurethane binder), rolled together using an adhesive glue and bonded onto a paper backing. The majority of the books in the collectible classics series are covered in ‘bonded’ leather. Visit this page on the Barnes & Noble website to see everything they currently have available in the series. In 2005, they released a highly decorative edition of The Complete Works of Lewis Carrolland its popularity sparked the beginning of the ‘Collectible Classics’ as the series is better known today. The contents were mostly omnibus editions (with several titles by the same author in a single book) and the bindings were very traditional, with dark (bonded) leather covers featuring plain gold text and simple foiled borders, along with raised bands on the spine, gilt page edges, decorative endpapers, and a sewn-in ribbon bookmark. ![]() Barnes and Noble brought out their original series of collectible ‘exclusive’ leather-bound classic editions in 1992. ![]() ![]() ![]() The current FDA approved indications for SCS are for the management of chronic intractable pain in the trunk or limbs, either bilateral or unilateral, associated with the following: failed back surgery syndrome, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Types I and II, intractable low back pain and leg pain. Given this patient’s symptoms, was he indicated for SCS placement? What are the currently FDA approved indications for SCS? After a careful review of the patient’s reported sensation and paresthesia level in defining a multicolumn contact configuration, we were able to identify three programs that ultimately were successful in increasing his pain coverage.ġ. We systematically and sequentially tested at fixed pulse width and frequency (210 micro-seconds, 90 Hz) to represent the greatest number of stimulation possibilities, with different electrodes configurations, starting with monopolar configurations first. Physical examination demonstrated well-healed surgical scars of thoracic area, mild bilateral tenderness to palpation of the bilateral sacroiliac areas, no significant tenderness to palpation of the lumbar paraspinal area, and full muscle strength.Īfter demonstrating that the system was intact, by means of an implant x-ray and review of the electrodes’ impedances, the patient’s constant voltage SCS system was reprogrammed in the clinic on multiple occasions. He suffered from weekly exacerbations of “lightning bolt-like” electrical sensations that would radiate below his knees. The pain averaged a six of ten on a visual analog scale (VAS) and did not improve by rest. ![]() He described the pain as throbbing and as a paradoxical pain that was “cold, freezing, yet burning” in quality. At that visit, he reported the SCS system covered the low back and his left side partially but could not appreciate any benefit on his right side. Upon initial evaluation, he described his low back pain as constant, aching, and radiating bilaterally to the top of his hips and down into his bilateral gluteal areas. This pain was debilitating and thus prompted his visit to our clinic. Unfortunately, after the fall, the patient increasingly experienced low back and buttock pain, which was not alleviated by the SCS. The patient was subsequently discharged home with a short course of oxycodone. The patient immediately presented to the emergency department in which hardware failure or fractures was ruled out. However, about 10+ years after SCS implantation, the patient suffered a fall after tripping on his carpet at home and landing on his sacrum. Specifically, the placement was with an SCS system with a single quadripolar surgical paddle lead (Resume 2®, Medtronic) with a constant voltage (Itrel ®, Medtronic) implantable pulse generator (IPG).Īfter the initial programming, the patient had coverage with paresthesia of his low back (left > right) with > 50% pain relief for several years. ![]() After failing extensive conservative management, including multiple physical therapy (PT) sessions, sacral medial branch blocks (MBB) followed by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for suspect sacroiliitis, the patient underwent placement on spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in 1999. ![]() As a result of his debilitating pain, the patient was forced to retire from work as a carpenter. The pain was constant and increased with activity, especially bending, and twisting his back. Despite initial resolution of his symptoms, he progressively had increasing back pain with radiation to the gluteal area bilaterally. In 1995, he underwent an 元-L5 laminectomy and posterior interbody fusion (PLIF) for lumbar stenosis with grade 2 spondylolisthesis of L4-L5 as per Meyerding classification. His medical history was significant for hypertension, obesity, and hyperlipidemia. A 65-year-old man with a history of chronic low back pain with intense bilateral lower extremity radicular pain was referred to our pain clinic. ![]() ![]() Our team of attorneys, over the years, has helped countless clients get protections from debt collection practices that are deemed as unlawful and illegal under the TCPA.

![]() I made all the placeholders just two spaces, but maybe I need to add enough spaces to fill the space where the input goes. I guess that's why the placeholder text is required. I'm finding that I have to manually select the first form field before tabbing will take me from field to field. But for computer use, I want the user to be able to open the document and just press tab to move to the first form field and each field following. I want this form to be accessible on the computer and also in hard copy, which is why I don't want placeholder text occupying what should be blank space on the printed form. This seems like too obvious a feature for them to have eliminated, so I must be missing something. But I can't tab through the fields to fill in the form, as I could with the old forms feature. And I've grouped the table for protection. I overcame the annoying requirement for placeholder content in the fields. I have created my form in a table and added all my fields. To ease this workload, I have created simple template add-in that contains a macro procedure which will loop through each content control in your document, display the properties dialog, and provides a custom dialog for setting the placeholder text.I was fairly proficient with the old forms feature in Word, but since Word 2010 I have not had to create any forms. When you create a new template or document using lots of content controls all of the mouse work involved in setting properties and custom placeholder text can become quite laborious. See: Installing Macros for instructions on how to set up and use the macros provided in this Microsoft Word Help & Microsoft Word Tips page. ![]() ![]() Note: For an interesting summary of content control placeholder text oddities, see: 5 Curiosities about Placeholders in Word Content Controls (for developers). If you are familiar with the Word object module you may notice from the code above that the ContentControl object has a property ".PlaceholderText." and that property itself is an object and not a string!! & "Click the ""empty"" or ""title"" tag of the" _ MsgBox "You must select a single ContentControl." & vbCr + vbCr _ SetPlaceHolderText, , InputBox("Type your new placeholder text below.", _ There is no method in the properties dialog to modify the placeholder text. The following illustrations show the default placeholder text for a plain text (left) and dropdown content control (right) and the corresponding properties dialog. For reasons unknown to me, Microsoft left out the option in this dialog to modify the placeholder text. With the "Properties" command in the Controls group you can set the properties for the various control types. Like the picture content control, the checkbox does not use placeholder text. Note: Word 2010 added an eight "Checkbox" content control. Six of the seven control types includes a default placeholder text (the Picture content control does not use placeholder text). Using the "Controls" group on the Developer tab you can insert one of seven different content controls in your Word document. If you haven't used these yet then be sure to enable the Developer tab of your Word 2007 application and check them out. I think that content controls are, without a doubt, the best enhancement in Word 2007. The purpose of this Microsoft Word Tips & Microsoft Word Help page will show you how you can quickly modify content control properties including the placeholder text. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here’s a map of all the areas that Spectrum operates in.

By summarizing the sensitivity, specificity and time efficiency for common MCI screening tools, which are key factors to be taken into consideration when making selections and combinations of screening tools, this review suggests the use of a combination of two self-administered highly sensitive tools, p-AD8 + IQCODE (informant questionnaire on cognitive decline in the elderly individuals) in initial screening, as well as a combination of two highly specific widely covered tools, DemTect + MoCA (Montreal cognitive assessment) or memory and executive screening (MES) + MoCA in secondary screening. A variety of screening tools have been utilized however, the sensitivity and specificity vary greatly among these tools. In addition, the use of different screening guidelines leads to difficulties in comparing different studies. However, there is currently no consensus on guidelines for routine screening of MCI, resulting in a considerable number of patients with undiagnosed MCI from community. Due to lack of effective disease-modifying therapies for advanced dementia, diagnosis and disease intervention at an early stage, particularly at MCI stage, has been widely accepted as a critical strategy in disease management that could potentially affect long-term outcome. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical condition with a high risk of progression to dementia. ![]() |
