			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although many patients that suffer from anorexia nervosa can be treated effectively at home, by their local doctor, some find that they have more success with their anorexia treatment when they stay in a hospital or center for eating disorders. This can be very helpful for some, as it takes away the everyday distractions and associations that would otherwise encourage them to keep on seeing food in a negative way and maintaining their poor eating habits. </p>
<p>Very often the hospital or clinic will have a benefit scheme where the patient is rewarded for eating well and this can be a very effective incentive to do well with their program. Of course this type of reward based therapy is very simple, but some people do respond very well to this type of anorexia treatment. </p>
<p>Hospital anorexia treatment has the advantage of being able to set and follow through daily targets for meals and weight gain. Of course in theory this can also be achieved at a local center for eating disorders, but in practice it is very hard to get the same level of interaction as with someone who is in hospital. </p>
<p>Although they do often set targets to work towards, the hospitals or centers are usually careful not to put too much pressure on the patients, as this could have a negative effect on their anorexia treatment. Very often they will prefer to use encouragement to help the patients attain their goals and to praise them when they do. </p>
<p>Although eating disorder centers can be very effective, they need to have a good program for when the sufferer leaves. Anorexia treatment can take a long time to really change the patients eating patterns and many continue to go to the out patients center for many months after their treatment finishes. </p>
<p>As with most things the anorexia treatment can benefit greatly from the support of friends and family and this can help to make the sufferer feel that they are not alone and have people that they can talk to. This can make a great difference to the patient and may help them on the way to a good recovery. </p>
<p>This is usually a highly reccomended avenue and is usually the most effective way to treat a sufferer. Hospitals usually have a team of specialists trained to help and advice so be sure to use them with confidence. </p>
<p>Good luck and be confident! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, you&#8217;ve done your turn in the trenches. You&#8217;ve been a busperson, head waiter, bartender, host, and what-not. After ten to twenty years, many hospitality workers, feeling burned-out at the late shifts and long hours, yearn to break into the ranks of higher management. Yet they find themselves in a kind of &#8216;glass ceiling&#8217; situation. They can&#8217;t get a recruiter to look twice at their resume, even when the qualifications are more than a match for the job.<br />
The place where hospitality is at a disadvantage is the job titles. The hospitality industry being as pinched for profits as it is, someone hired as a waiter or bartender will find themselves performing management functions: balancing books, being in charge of the staff, purchasing, ordering, overseeing the operation of the establishment, and on and on. All of these skills are transferable to higher-salary jobs, but because they were done under the job title of &#8220;hostess&#8221; or some such, they mean zip as far as an interviewer is concerned.<br />
This is a shame, as the person who knows the business the best is the one who worked their way up through the ranks. The computer age has also sealed the fate of many poorly-considered resumes, as human resource departments search resumes in electronic form, including and excluding keywords and only pulling up those resumes that meet the search criteria.<br />
The recruiter&#8217;s ultimate responsibility is to the restaurants, hotels, casinos, and clubs which they are hired to represent. This is not to say that they don&#8217;t also have your best interests at heart; it just means that recruiters have to comply with the job description and qualifications set forth by their clients. So they are unable to present candidates that do not match those requirements &#8211; no matter how much a candidate calls back.<br />
So this should tell you something: there are good and bad keywords and phrases. Words like &#8220;restaurant, hotel, hostess, waitress, bartender, cook, chef&#8221; tend to get you stuck in a rotating cycle of those positions forever. What they fail to address is that you have done work far outside the scope of your job title, and are ready for a meatier career. A broad majority of hospitality job seekers have job titles unrelated to their current career goals.<br />
You are much better off using skill headings rather than job titles, if your goal is to land higher salaries and increase your interview rates. For example, if you were quite practiced in enhanced selling at your business, a handy leading line might be: &#8220;A versatile and skilled sales and marketing professional with excellent hands-on experience in developing and improving sales for wholesale and retail operations in the hospitality industry.&#8221; You did it, why not flaunt it?<br />
Or if you were eventually saddled with overseeing the restaurant staff when all you started out as is a line cook, it&#8217;s high time you boasted: &#8220;An assertive manager with outstanding interpersonal people management skills, experienced in communications, negotiations, operations, and scheduling.&#8221; Again, your title may not have been manager, but that&#8217;s still the job you did, and the one you&#8217;re seeking now!<br />
Bartenders are another catch-all position. The head office sees a bartender as somebody who washes glasses and pours. But the best of all outcomes is when your bar business expands so that now you&#8217;re booking entertainers, arranging bachelor parties, expanding to include a kitchen, purchasing and warehousing the stock, hiring and firing help, placing advertisements, and generally overseeing the day-to-day operations. You&#8217;ve been promoted in everything but title!<br />
How better to highlight some bullet points:<br />
- Recruited and trained X-number servers and kitchen employees in full service dining.<br />
- Assisted in the X-number% reduction of labor costs through better selection of staff.<br />
- Reduced labor and cost of goods sold by X-number%.<br />
- Carried out a demographic study that pin-pointed the establishment&#8217;s market.<br />
- Developed and oversaw the new catering program.<br />
- Analyzed and upgraded kitchen equipment to achieve greater efficiency.<br />
- Improved cost control by eliminating waste.<br />
- Consistently ran low-overhead costs throughout seasonal highs and lows.<br />
- Prepared the annual budget for the branch location.<br />
- Directed the development of a new line of appetizers.<br />
To your ears, this may sound like &#8220;laying it on thick&#8221;, and you may be right, but you have to understand that head-hunters think this way. To them, there is no &#8220;we switched to a cheaper brand of vodka in our martinis&#8221;. There is only &#8220;efficiently oversaw a new product strategy that reduced price of goods sold&#8221;.<br />
Chefs are another career category with a few roadblocks in advancement. The publicity of the Celebrity Chefs of the Food Network has helped the chef career gain new stamina in recent years, but maybe that casino manager with the hospitality manager position doesn&#8217;t watch the Food Network. Many people think &#8216;chef&#8217; and are unable to picture anything but a line cook in front of a grill, flipping steaks.<br />
If you engaged in anything involving creativity, such as pastry, planning a menu, designing a new side dish, experimenting with a new recipe, or coming up with a new line of beverages, there&#8217;s room in marketing and design arts for you. After all, if your endeavors were successful, then that shows that you know your target market and what they like. If your restaurant started hosting banquets and providing catering services, then your responsibilities grew with the business.<br />
Whatever the situation, it&#8217;s hard not to find examples where you expanded your job experience to fulfill higher duties. The trick, then, is to focus on your newly gained skills, which, after all, you undertook in the first place hoping for advancement, did you not? By phrasing things in a more general way, it makes it evident that your skills are easy to transfer to a new job category. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After two seasons with the popular daytime drama, General Hospital, New Jersey native Adrian Alvarado has also been tapped to star in the new spin-off, General Hospital: Nightshift.  Alvarado plays Detective Cruz Rodriguez, a Port Charles police officer and close personal friend of Lucky Spencer, on both the base series and its offshoot. </p>
<p>Aside from the General Hospital shows, Alvarado will also be seen as the character Luis in the upcoming film, Urban Decay.  The movie stars Lois &amp; Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and Ripley’s Believe It or Not stalwart, Dean Cain, as a cab driver named Stan, who slams into a homeless man, who amazingly and mysteriously gets up, walks away and leaves behind a scarf full of wriggling, writhing maggots.  Puzzled, perplexed and haunted by the mystery, Stan hunts down the intriguing figure throughout the city and ends up finding a trail of mangled, half-eaten victims, with only an urban legend to explain the disturbing incidents.  Stan comes face to face with the tale of Pusshead, a sewer worker who returns from an unfamiliar tunnel, changed and altered into something that is both dead and alive, with an insatiable taste for human flesh.  Originally told to children by their parents to keep them off the streets late at night, Stan soon begins to find a rising body count that seems to prove the legend is real.</p>
<p>Urban Decay also stars singer/actor Meatloaf as Rick Zero and Baywatch alum, Brooke Burns as Sasha.  Others in the cast are Brad Orrison, Gregor Manns, Joe Nipote, Jeff Altman, Ryan Francis, Darris Love, Kevin West, Sarah Christine Smith, Duane Whitaker, Tim Thomerson and Chris Williams.</p>
<p>The film, which was directed by Harry Basil and written by Don Adams and Harry James Picardi, has been completed and is slated for release this year. </p>
