I truly admit that taking care for the elderly people are need to a lot patience as all we know as the people get aged many things are affecting in their daily of living especially in their health. Elderly people are very prone to different kinds of illnesses because their immune system is getting lower and they need to be taking care always. If you have noticed most of the elderly people have so many kinds of medicine taking it is because for the health condition that they have and because their love ones are worried for the entire situation that they have they take the home care services for their love ones to take care of them. They know that their love ones in the good hand. Finding the right and trusted home care services today is so hard especially for our love ones they must need to be trusted all the time especially in taking care our love ones. Today there are so many agencies that offering services but how we can assure that they can be trusted. The best thing you can do is research find some information about this company and find some costume r review in this way you have the idea where to put your love one’s life.

They are sending quality healthcare servants with the quality of training and they know how to handle every client that they have.
To contact us Click HERE Last weekend (August 4th) we went down to the new Lower Hobble Creek wildlife management area looking for an Indigo Bunting. There were reports [1] of several being seen along the trail (at "a tree with a fallen tree at the base and a sign nearby") and Leann wanted to add that bird to her life list. There were at least three spots on the trail that fit the description of "a tree with a fallen tree at the base and a sign nearby." But we didn't find the Indigo Buntings at any of these spots.
Here's an osprey we spotted scrutinizing the wetland for prey. This area, where Hobble Creek empties into Utah Lake, has been developed into a wetland to provide more habitat for wildlife—particularly the endangered June Sucker.[2] We also saw (or heard): Killdeers, a Yellow Warbler, Great Blue Herons, Caspian or Forrester Terns, Barn Swallows, Tree Swallows, Northern Rough-winged Swallows, White-faced Ibises, a Belted Kingfisher, a Bullock's Oriole, and even a Lazuli Bunting. But no Indigo Buntings.
Lilli had a great time looking for birdies, bees, and butterflies. She also liked walking around in the foxtail barley (Hordeum jubatum L.—it's the fuzzy-looking grass in the photo above) and getting it all over her pants and shoes. But her favorite thiing to do on this trip was picking up rocks, sticks, and flowers and trying to eat them.

A while back I posted some of the ways that Lillian tries to be like her Daddy.[1] But she spends most of her waking hours with Leann. So while Lillian has picked up a few of my interests and behaviors, she's more likely to pick up Leann's. Since Leann's birthday was last week, I thought it would be nice to share some of the ways that Lilli tries to be just like her Mommy. (Note that I've been preparing this post for a while, so Lilli is going to look young in some of the pictures.)
She likes to run in the mud.[2]
She likes raspberries.
She helps with the laundry.
She has trouble picking out what to wear…
She likes flowers. (On the right is a bouquet of flowers Leann made. I let her pick out the stems for her birthday and arrange them herself.[3]) Lillian also loves birds, but I don't have anything to show you for that.
She likes to dance.
And here she is wearing her Mommy's hat from SageSTEP.[4]

[2] See Leann's post Dirty Dash 2012.
[3] You can see some of Leann's other flower arrangements at her post Wedding Flowers.
To contact us Click HERE This last week I haven't posted anything because I've been at the 2012 Meeting on Bacteria, Archaea, & Phages.[1] It started on the 21st and ended on the 25th. I submitted two abstracts, one about the work I've done on the effect of certain accessory plasmids on host range in Sinorhizobium meliloti[2] and another about the work I've done on identifying a phage receptor in Sinorhizobium meliloti. I was asked by the organizers to give an oral presentation about the former and to present a poster about the latter.
I've come to this meeting before, four years ago, but before that I never would've guessed that Long Island would be so verdant. I expected it to be overrun by the city. On the top is Cold Spring Harbor. It gets its name from several springs that feed into the harbor.[3] On the bottom you can see a stream coming from one of these springs and some decorative mini-houses that were built over it.
On the beach we saw several schools of small fish and some horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus)—which have their own unique contribution to molecular biology.[4] Can you find the horseshoe crab in the picture above? The water's a little murky and there's a glare from the sunlight, so it could be a little tricky.
Here's the answer if you need it.
Now it's mainly known for Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The Laboratory, which currently employs over 400 scientists, has a long and important history of contributions to molecular biology.[5] (There have also been a few controversies.) Across the campus there are sculptures, some of which make reference to concepts in molecular biology. On the top left is a statue of Charles Darwin (I think—it didn't have a plaque). On the bottom left there are actually two sculptures. In the foreground, on the left is a representation of the green fluorescent protein.[6] Behind that is a representation of a ribosome translating an mRNA into protein.[7]
There are cabins on campus for guests to stay in. Ours had a large orb weaver spider that built a web in front of one of the windows and would sit in the middle of it all night long waiting for moths and the like to come by. I tried to catch it the first night but then decided to let it live.
After the last full day of presentations we were all asked to gather outside for an announcement. (To make sure everyone stuck around, they handed out flutes of champagne.[8]) A representative from the American Society of Microbiology (ASM [9]) declared Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory a "Milestones in Microbiology" site.[10] Among the Who's Who who attended the announcement were Jonathan Beckwith (our keynote speaker and creator of the lacZ fusion), Wacław Szybalski (who has attended every CSHL phage meeting since its inception and pioneer in the field of gene therapy), and James Watson (who appears in the pictures above and who was co-discoverer, along with Francis Crick, of the structure of DNA).
Most of the time we just ate at the buffet in the cafeteria (which still had a sumptuous variety of food), but on the last evening, after the ASM announcement, we had a banquet. When we sat down there were mussels and shrimp waiting for us and then they served us lobster for the main course. (For those who couldn't or wouldn't eat seafood there was salad, baked potato, vegetables, steak, a "vegetarian meal", etc.) For dessert we had cheesecake.

[3] See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold Spring Harbor, New York. For a while it was also a bustling whaling port.
[4] Horseshoe crabs, like Vulcans, use copper, rather than iron, to transport oxygen in their bloodstream (so their blood is blue-green). Other unique properties of their blood make it useful for detecting bacterial toxins. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe crab#Blood.

[8] Up until that point I'd been mildly curious about "the bubbly". But not anymore. I didn't try any because it's against my personal convictions (to learn more about why Latter-day Saints eschew alcohol, see here) but I can say that it smells like yeasty sour grapes.

While I was attending the 2012 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Meeting on Bacteria, Archaea, & Phages [1] with my professor and the other two graduate students in the lab, we wanted to see New York City. So the day I presented, after that session was over, we cut out and caught a train to New York to see the sights. (As I wrote that I realized that I could've put sites and still had the sentence be grammatically and informationally correct.)
They say that you can tell who the tourists are because they're the ones looking up at the buildings. Perhaps some people do this just because they're amazed at how tall the buildings are, but I was looking up because some of them looked really interesting. We saw the Empire State Building (bottom), the Chrysler Building (top left), and several other interesting buildings (the rest). The streets of New York often smelled like burnt flatbread because of all the street vendors selling Mexican-Indian-Halal-American-Pakistani-Kosher food.[2][3]
We saw Grand Central Station. The ceiling has part of the zodiac painted on it with small light bulbs shining to represent some of the stars. I have no idea how that helps you make your train on time.
We saw the Rockefeller Center.
A LEGO shop nearby. (I took a lot more pictures in this shop, but I decided not to overwhelm you with them.)
And a few other iconic businesses. Radio City Music Hall (left) is the home of the Rockettes and Saks (right) is a fashion store.
Around the thoroughfares Central Park smelled like rancid, sun-baked horse manure. But deeper into the park it smelled better. A lot of people go there to sunbathe, which I hadn't anticipated, but it now seems inevitable (since there's really nowhere else to do so in the city).
We took the Staten Island ferry (which is free) to get a look at the Statue of Liberty, then turned around and came right back. On the way back her torch caught the light of the sun just right and looked like it was aflame, but the pictures I took weren't that impressive. There were a bunch of French tourists on the ferry and I asked myself again how a man who spoke that sissy-sounding language (Napoleon I) ever struck fear into most of the European continent. I still haven't found an answer.
We passed the Wall Street Bull on our way back into the city. There was a line of people waiting to take their photograph next to it. We didn't want to wait, so I took a picture, anyway, and got these people, instead.
Then we visited the 9/11 Memorial. Both of the memorial pools have the names of the victims of the 9/11 attacks around their edges. The memorial is handled by the NYPD and it looked like a pretty cushy job. They mostly just stood around and made sure people stayed in line and didn't want on the freshly-planted sod. I didn't take a picture of the Ground Zero Survivor Tree because at the time I didn't know what it was.
After that we went into a pizzeria for dinner (I didn't have the guts to try a tandoori chicken burrito). Then we caught the subway to Times Square [4] and by that time it was dark enough that the garish advertisements it's famous for were in full blaze.
Notes:
[1] See my post 2012 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Meeting on Bacteria, Archaea, & Phages.
[2] Most of them defined American food as pizza, hamburgers, and sub sandwiches (which they call heros).
[3] I hyphenated this because sometimes they sold items from each class separately (e.g. tandoori chicken or tacos) but sometimes they sold them combined (e.g. tandoori chicken in tacos). It appears that Indians, Pakistanis, and Middle Easterners are the most recent immigration wave to hit New York City.
[4] I actually got separated from my professor and the other two graduate students. So we took the subway separately and met back up at Times Square.
This last week I haven't posted anything because I've been at the 2012 Meeting on Bacteria, Archaea, & Phages.
