A catfish is an easy fish to identify, as it has big whisker-like barbels sprouting out all around its mouth. Catfish are popular because they are known to get massive, up to 600 pounds for a Mekong giant catfish. Catfish are also found on every single continent with the exception of Antarctica, making them very abundant.

Catfish are characteristically slimy, and are bottom feeders because they do not have any teeth. Instead of chewing their prey, catfish simply gulp it up. Catfish are very sought after in the fishing community because of their size and how plentiful they are. Catfish are a main food staple in many places, especially Asia, where fish consumption is very prominent. Though there has never been any documented proof of a catfish killing a human, there are many people who believe that it is possible for some of the larger breeds. Some species even have stingers in their fins that can do serious damage if they are handled improperly.

Alan Faustino is a fishing fan and enthusiast that has been fishing ever since he was a child.

The kind of weather for instance is a good indicator of where bass may be hanging out in the water. When the sun is bright and high in the sky, a bass will likely look for shelter. When it is cloudy or there is little sun, they tend to venture further out. This means that on a cloudy day, it might be better to fish in clear and open water, while on a sunny day, you may want to look for murkier places with seaweed and other areas where a fish might seek shelter from other dangers.

Alan Faustino - Hospice Care - Africa

Alan Faustino is a Hispanic doctor of internal medicine that worked for many years providing hospice care for patients. The hospice has an ancient history in society, but is actually a more modern invention, one that has developed all the way back to the 11th century to become what it is today. Because of the relatively recent development of hospice care, it has developed differently in countries across the world.

In Africa for instance, they did not experience a hospice movement for many years. It began in the 80s, when the first hospice would be opened in Harare, Zimbabwe. Though the medical community of the area was skeptical, the movement would take hold and in 87, the Hospice Palliative Care Association of South Africa was formed. By the 90s, Nairobi Hospice opened in Kenya. By 06, South Africa joined 34 other countries that offered integrated palliative care.

South Africa has become a beacon of hope for the hospice community, offering widespread services that focus on many needs, extending to orphans and the homeless. This even includes a daycare, in-patient care, and at home care. More than half of the hospice patients in South Africa are diagnosed with AIDS, while many others have varying forms of cancer. This has led to a greater need for hospice and generally increased the development of them in the area. Much of the hospice care is supported by funding for AIDS relief plans.

Practice

One word you will hear a lot when you start learning to play the guitar is, “practice.” You will need to practice every day and keep working at it till you get the chords and techniques right. How long should you practice? Well, there is no set time limit for how long you should practice, but an average of one hour a day would do you good. The time you spend practicing will help you develop finger memory, something you will need if you want to be a good guitarist.

Motivation

Learning the guitar requires motivation. When you first start playing, you may sound terrible, but don’t let that stop you from moving ahead. The other thing you will have to deal with is sore fingertips. However, the pain will disappear, and your playing will improve after practicing for a couple of days. To stay motivated, set short-term goals and work with accomplishing it. Find a guitar buddy and practice together, this will help you stay motivated and achieve your goals.
 
Pay Attention to the Basics

Do not skip learning the basics, and pay attention that you learn it the right way. One of the hardest things to do is try and unlearn basics you may have learned through the wrong method. Get a guitar teacher to help you learn the chords, or take an online course.

Alan Faustino - Introduction to Hospice

Alan Faustino is an entrepreneur and doctor of internal medicine that has spent a good portion of his career working at a hospice. A hospice is a kind of care, a philosophy of a sort that focuses on the terminally and chronically ill. A hospice doctor helps care not just for a patient’s physical needs, but their emotional and spiritual ones. In the Western world, hospice based philosophies in medicine originated as early as the 11th century in Europe. Since then it has been evolving, being heavily influenced by the Roman Catholic tradition of giving hospitality to the dying, the sick, or the gravely wounded. The hospice provides comfort for those that are in dire conditions and are geared towards treatments that can last for months or even years, as opposed to the brief treatment one would receive at a hospital.

In the United States, hospice is a term that is basically defined by the parameters of the Medicare and health insurance providers. A hospice can be carried out in a specifically designed facility, or it can be done at the patient’s home. Usually when a patient is given a terminal diagnosis and turned over to a hospice, they are predicted to have less than six months to live. The hospice does not just comfort the patient during the time of passing, but also helps aid the family through a very emotionally and spiritually trying time.
