{"text": "Research studies on the impact of debt on a borrower’s life state that outstanding dues affect not just the individual’s personal finances but also their emotions and self-esteem. When students plan out a bright and successful future, they usually have to resort to taking student loans to pay for their education. To begin with this seems like a good idea, because it is of course an investment into their future. However, if a student loan is taken without due care and consideration it can hamper the student’s career, as well as personal growth and satisfaction.\nStudent Loans and Debts\nAccording to Federal Reserve Data in 2018 American student loan debts stand at $1.5 trillion. This exceeds the auto loan debt as well as credit card debt in the country. This is a worrying trend as when students owe a lot of money towards their student loans they tend to compromise and take a better paying job over one that would offer them more professional growth and satisfaction. They are burdened by the student loans they carry and have trouble paying them off. What these debtors need is for professionals to show them how to repay their debts in an effective and organized manner.\nExpertise Offered by Financial Preparation Services\nFinancial Preparation Services is a private company. It helps students identify government debt repayment programs that are suitable for their debt situation, and accordingly helps them prepare and well as process the documentation for the same. The company focuses on helping students understand the single or multiple government debt relief programs that they may be eligible for. Of course, the students can do this by themselves for free. However, the fact is that having professionals, who understand all aspects of the procedures, and have the customer’s interests in mind, is a big advantage.\nSome of the services offered by Financial Preparation Services include financial analysis. This process involves an in depth study of the borrower’s financial situation so as to identify income, assets, liabilities and monthly expenses. Thereafter, a customized plan is created by the Financial Preparation Services advisors to create an effective budget that will reduce monthly obligations, and help lay the path towards regaining financial stability.\nThe Financial Preparation Services expert account representatives identify the debt repayment programs that a borrower qualifies for. Next, they prepare all the necessary documents for it. At every step of the process the customer is kept informed and educated about the relevant details. The documents are processed by the company, and the customer does not have to deal document preparation or submission. Finally, every year borrowers must re-certify for the federal program they have been approved for. Often individuals with student loans forget to do so. Financial Preparation Services ensures that its customers are re-certified.\nFinancial Preparation Services helps students prepare and process loan documents for government debt relief programs. When a student signs a loan, usually they have no idea of the financial burden they have chosen to take on. They do not realize that the longer the period of loan repayment, the more they will pay. In many ways their professional and personal lives are held captive by the debt they owe. Financial Preparation Services empowers its customers by helping them repay their debts and improving financial health."}

{"text": "Keeping your cryptocurrency at exchanges, unless you absolutely must do so, still isn't prudent.\nNew proof of that comes from Japan, where cryptocurrency exchange Bitpoint has been hacked to the tune of US$32 million, CoinDesk reports.\nIn a notice on its website, Bitpoint said it has \"identified an unauthorized outflow of virtual currency,\" which is why it has stopped trading as well as opening new accounts, in order to find the cause and minimize damage.\nA more detailed document from Bitpoint's parent company Remixpoint says US$23 million of the stolen funds belonged to the exchange's customers. According to Nikkei Asian Review, Remixpoint plans to compensate those customers.\nThere's no word on which coins were stolen, but CoinDesk says that Bitpoint offered trading in five cryptocurrencies; Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, and XRP.\nCryptocurrency exchanges getting hacked isn't new, but the last couple of months have been particularly bad. Days ago, Singaporean crypto exchange Bitrue was hacked to the tune of US$4.2 million. In May, Binance lost approximately US$40 million due to a hack.\nBitpoint also isn't the first Japanese exchange to get hacked.

{"text": "Nate Whiting had a tall order the day he signed up to helm the kitchen at 492 King Street. And it wasn’t only because of the culinary competition—fierce enough in that district to turn small mistakes into fatal ones. No, it was also due to the fact that he’d need to compete with the building itself as much as the neighbors. But that’s what happens when you turn an architect as accomplished and artistic as Reggie Gibson loose on a centuries-old hulk that, in most other cases, would constitute a tear-down.\nNear the entry, heavy steel gates guarding the restaurant’s patio take the shape of an old city map grid—or a Mondrian painting of sorts in silhouette. Just inside, checkered leather and wood line the central causeway that skirts a long community table on its way to an open kitchen, where Whiting and his crew perform nightly to the delight of patrons perched like theatergoers along its edge.\nIt’s rare when a restaurant’s design might outshine its food, but by the time you make your way through the dining room, past the kitchen, onto the chic, heated patio, and back around to the inside bar that lies just starboard of the entrance, it becomes evident that this show includes more than one hit number.\nI choose a seat at the kitchen counter and begin perusing Whiting’s (mostly) small-plate menu. I find it serviceable, even if a bit muddled and imprecise. Like the architecture, 492’s menu is a compendium of textures and themes, intent on evoking the historic as much as the modern. In the dishes’ execution, however, these leitmotivs seem precariously balanced at best—the occasional plate arrives thoroughly off-kilter.\nSo it is that offerings from the “Fields & Garden” section can juxtapose deliciously tender kale braised in a tomato broth with preserved lemon against a molecular transfiguration of sweet potato custard, hazelnuts, halved cherries, “coffee crumbles,” and freshly torn sage. Without some sort of foam though, the latter simply doesn’t do justice to the clashing and outmoded cookery it represents. That’s not to say the plates don’t overflow with delicious flavors. The chicken liver parfait is divine, even if the presentation, piped onto thin brioche like pink Cheez Wiz, needs a new refrain.\nJust as the dishes’ preparations shift among stylistic trends, the flavor profiles and regional influences also lack a particular focus. For example, what are we to make of a menu that contains a perfect ragù dressing al dente strozzapreti; a Geechie Boy grit loaf; broccoli spiked with garlic, sesame, and goat cheese; and a “shrimp dumpling” as malformed as the bitingly acidic vegetables that accompany it? Is this sort of postmodern fusion the culinary future of Charleston?\nProbably not. Yet I’ll still frequent 492. I’ll fork through as many of the delicious, braised beef short ribs as possible, plated atop a velvety white-bean puree that I predict will soon surpass the pommes aligot trend. The seared scallops—served with a gentle pairing of radish, onion, and a peppery arugula salad—can brighten any drab Tuesday.\nThere are also hidden gems to be found. The roasted strawberry profiteroles that Whiting trots out as an amuse-bouche should headline the appetizers. The affogato coffee dessert, served with a crispy waffle, represents as perfect an end to a meal as it does a beginning. And the Jimmy Red Corn grits, while rustic and less cosmopolitan than the trendy surrounds, pack enough rosemary, black truffle, and crispy fried ricotta to qualify as a genuine display of decadence.\nFour Ninety-Two could survive on its sheer beauty for a long time. The crowds at the outdoor bar prove it holds a lucrative appeal. And lukewarm reception of the menu should be measured, because Whiting does create some extraordinary food. The opportunity for growth is in focus: render what’s important, and let\nOccam’s razor do the rest. Accomplish such a feat, and 492 will possess a culinary identity as well-crafted as the building in which it resides.\nKitchen History: Before 492 opened, Nate Whiting was the executive chef of Tristan.\nThe Draw: One of the most beautiful dining spaces within the Upper King corridor\nThe Drawback: Small portions can mean deceptively lean plates.\nDon’t Miss: The beef short rib\nPrice: $6-$19Price: $6-$19"}

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.\nAbstract\nWe iteratively derive the product-form solutions of stationary distributions for a type of preemptive priority multiclass queueing networks with multiserver stations. This type of queueing systems can typically be used to model the stochastic dynamics of some large scale backbone networks with multiprocessor shared-memory switches or local (edge) cloud computing centers with parallel-server pools. The queueing networks are Markovian with exponential interarrival and service time distributions. The obtained iterative solutions can be used to conduct performance analysis or as comparison criteria for approximation and simulation studies. Numerical comparisons with existing Brownian approximating model (BAM) related to general interarrival and service times are provided to show the effectiveness of our current designed algorithm and our previous derived BAM. Furthermore, based on the iterative solutions, we can also give some analysis concerning network stability for some cases of these queueing systems, which provides some insight for more general study.\n1. Introduction\nAt present, integrated services packet networks (ISPN) are widely used to transport a wide range of information such as voice, video, and data. It is foreseeable that this integrated services pattern will be one of the major techniques in the future cloud computing based communication systems and Internet (see, e.g., Mullender and Wood [1]). The introduction of concept and architecture of cloud computing can be found in, for example, Mell and Grance [2] and Rhoton and Haukioja [3]. A possible cloud computing based telecommunication network architecture (i.e., a large-scale network infrastructure as a service) is designed in Figure 1, where an end-user may require service (or services) from single local cloud computing center or multiple local and remote cloud computing centers. Among these centers, they communicate each other by using core switching network system (note that the switching system itself can also be independently viewed and handled as a cloud computing system with multiple service pools).\nThe speed and efficiency of core switching network systems are the bottleneck in realizing high speed owing to the drastic improvement in transmission speed and reliability of optical fiber. In an ISPN network, information is partitioned into packets depending on the employed protocol such as Internet protocol (IP). For the purpose of transmission, each packet consists of user’s data payload to be transmitted, a header containing control information (e.g., source and destination addresses, packet type, priority, etc.), and a checksum used for error control. The high-speed ISPN networks require fast packet switches to move packets along their respective virtual paths. The switches are computers with processing and storage capabilities. The main objective of a switch is to route an incoming packet arriving along a particular input link to a specified output link. More precisely, once the incoming packet is entirely received, the switch examines its header and selects the next outgoing link. In other words, packets are transmitted in a store-and-forward manner.\nVarious pieces of information can be classified into a fixed number of different types with separate requirements of quality of service (e.g., different end-to-end delays and packet loss ratios). Real time traffic packets with stringent delay constraint (e.g., interactive audio/video) are endowed service priority. In the meanwhile, it is imperative to size buffers for nonreal time traffic packets (e.g., data), which can tolerate higher delay but demand much smaller packet loss ratios. Hence, efficient switching and buffer management schemes are needed for switches.\nCurrently, three basic techniques (see, e.g., Tobagi [4] and Rao and Tripathi [5]) are designed to realize the switching function: space-division, shared-medium, and shared-memory. In our switches, the shared-memory technique is employed, which is comprised of a single dual-ported memory shared by all input and output lines. Packets arriving along input lines are multiplexed into a single stream that is fed to the common memory for storage. Inside the memory, packets are organized into different output buffers, one for each output line. In each output buffer, memory can be further divided into priority output queues, one for each type of traffic. In the meantime, an output stream of packets is formed by retrieving packets from the output queues sequentially, one per queue. Among different traffic types, packets are retrieved according to their priorities. Inside each type, packets are retrieved under the first-in first-out (FIFO) service discipline. Then, the output stream is demultiplexed and packets are transmitted on the output lines. There are some other ways to deal with the output queues such as processor sharing among output lines (see, e.g., Tobagi [4] and Rao and Tripathi [5]). We will address these issues elsewhere (see, e.g., Dai [6]).\nIn addition to switching, queueing is another main functionality of packet switches. The introduction of queueing function is owing to multiple packets arriving simultaneously from separate input lines and owing to the randomness of packet arrivals from both outside routing and internal routing of the network. There are three possibilities for queueing in a switch: input queueing, output queueing, and shared-memory queueing (see, e.g., Schwarz [7] and Rao and Tripathi [5]). Shared-memory-queueing mechanism is employed in our switches since it has numerous advantages with respect to switching and queueing over other schemes. For example, both switching and queueing functions can be implemented together by controlling the memory read and write properly. Furthermore, modifying the memory read and write control circuit makes the shared-memory switch sufficiently flexible to perform functions such as priority control and other operations.\nNevertheless, no matter what technology is employed in implementing the switch, it places certain limitations on the size of the switch and line speeds. Currently, two possible ways can be used to build large switches to match the transmission speed of optical fiber. The first one is to adopt parallel processors (see, e.g., Figure 2). The second one is to interconnect many switches (known as switch modules) in a multistage configuration to build large switches (see, e.g., Figure 3). The remaining issue is how to reasonably allocate resources of these switches and efficiently evaluate the system performance.\nThe statistical characteristics of packet interarrival times and packet sizes have a major impact on switch hardware and software designs owing to the consideration of network performance. How to more effectively identify packet traffic patterns is a very active and involved research field (see, e.g., Nikolaidis and Akyildiz [8] and Dai [6, 9, 10]). Independent and identical distribution (i.i.d.) is the popular assumption for these times and packet sizes. Doubly stochastic renewal process introduced in Dai [6] is the latest definition and generalization related to input traffic and service processes for a wireless network under random environment. The effectiveness of these characteristics is supported by recent discoveries in Cao et al. [11] and Dai [9, 10].\nIn all circumstances, it is imperative to find product-form solutions for those queueing networks under suitable conditions to conduct performance analysis or provide comparison criteria to show the effectiveness of approximation and/or simulation studies (see, e.g., Dai et al. [6, 12–15]). Furthermore, note that the stochastic dynamics of the backbone networks with multiprocessor shared-memory switches and the local (edge) cloud computing centers with parallel-server pools in Figure 1 can both be described by a multiclass queueing networks with parallel servers at each station. Hence, in this paper, we aim to derive the product-form solutions iteratively for one particular type of related queueing networks, that is, a type of particular preemptive priority multiclass queueing networks when the interarrival and service times are exponentially distributed. In addition, we also aim to provide some numerical comparisons with existing Brownian approximating model (BAM) related to general interarrival and service times to show the effectiveness of our current designed algorithm and our former derived BAM.\nNext, we provide some review of the existing literature associated with the current study. Comparisons between the existing studies and our current discussion are also presented.\nUnder a general Whittle network framework, the product-form solutions are presented in Serfozo [16] for some multiclass networks, which include those with sector-dependent (e.g., Example 3.3) and class-station-dependent service rates (e.g., BCMP networks in Section 3.3, which are introduced by Baskett et al. [17]). Without considering the interaction among different stations, the distinguishing feature of these networks is that a job’s service rate at a station may consist of two intensities: one referred to as station intensity is a function of the total queue length at the station and the other one referred to as class intensity is a function of the queue length in the same class as the job being served. Some specific single-class queueing systems of BCMP networks in Section 3.3 of Serfozo [16] are revisited in Harrison [18, 19] by developing some Reversed Compound Agent Theorem (RCAT) based method. The corresponding product-form and non-product-form solutions are derived. Nevertheless, as claimed in Harrison [18, 19], heavier notation will be involved as long as a multiclass BCMP network is concerned.\nAlthough our networks are of a form of those networks with multiple types of units as introduced in Serfozo [16], our networks are beyond those with sector-dependent and class-station-dependent service rates as introduced previously. More precisely, for a station in our networks, the station intensity is not only a function of the total queue length but also a function of combinations of queue lengths of various classes. The class intensity depends on not only the queue length of itself and/or the total queue length but also the numbers of jobs in other classes at the station. Therefore, how to find suitable function and how to prove our service rates to be -balanced as defined in Chapter 3 of Serfozo [16] are not obvious. Moreover, how to apply the RCAT based method developed in Harrison [18, 19] to our multiclass network cases is also not trivial. Thus, in this paper, we use the method of solving Kolmogorov (balance) equations to get the product-form solutions iteratively, which are more engineering and computationally friendly. Furthermore, by this method, we can also give some analysis concerning network stability for some cases of these systems, which provides some insight for more general study.\nThe remainder of this paper is organized as follows. The open priority multiclass queueing network associated with high-speed ISPN is described in Section 2. Our main results including product-form solutions and performance comparisons are presented in Section 3. Numerical comparisons are given in Section 4. The proofs of our main theorems are provided in Section 5. The conclusion of the paper is presented in Section 6.\n2. The Queueing Network Model\nNote that the stochastic dynamics of the backbone core networks with multiprocessor shared-memory switches and the local (edge) cloud computing centers with parallel-server pools in Figure 1 can both be described by multiclass queueing networks with parallel servers at each station. Therefore, we consider a queueing network that has multiserver stations. Each station indexed by owns servers and has an infinite capacity waiting buffer. In the network, there are job types. Each type consists of job classes that are distributed at different stations. Therefore, the network is populated by job classes which are labeled by . Upon the arrival of a job of a type from outside the network, it may only receive service for part of classes and may visit a particular class more than once (but at most finite many times). Then, it leaves the network (i.e., the network is open). At any given time during its lifetime in the network, the job belongs to one of the classes and changes classes at each time a service is completed. All jobs within a class are served at a unique station and more than one class might be served at a station (so-called multiclass queueing network). The ordered sequence of classes that a job visits in the network is named a route. Interrouting among different job types is not allowed throughout the entire network.\nWe use to denote the set of classes belonging to station . Let denote the station to which class belongs. We implicitly set when and appear together. Associated with each class , there are two i.i.d sequences of random variables (r.v.), and , an i.i.d sequence of -dimensional random vectors, , and two real numbers, and . We suppose that the sequences are mutually independent. The initial r.v.s and have means and , respectively. For each , denotes the interarrival time between the th and the th externally arrival job at class . Furthermore, denotes the service time for the th class job. In addition, denotes the routing vector of the th class job. We allow for some classes . Then, it follows that and are the external arrival rate and service rate for class , respectively. We assume that the routing vector takes values in , where is the -dimensional vector of all 0’s. For , is the -dimensional vector with th component and other components . When , the th job departing class becomes a class job. Let be the probability that a job departing class becomes a class job (of the same type). Thus, the corresponding matrix is routing matrix of the network. Furthermore, the matrix is finite; that is, is invertible with since the network is open. The symbol on a vector or a matrix denotes the transpose and denotes the identity matrix.\nWe use for to denote the overall arrival rate of class , including both external arrivals and internal transitions. Then, we have the following traffic equation: or in its vector form: (all vectors in this paper are to be interpreted as column vectors unless explicitly stated otherwise). Note that the unique solution of (3) is given by . For each , if there is a long-run average rate of flow into the class which equals the long-run average rate out of that class, this rate will equal . Furthermore, we define the traffic intensity for station as follows: where with is also referred to as the nominal fraction of time that station is nonidle.\nThe order of jobs being served at each station is dictated by a service discipline. In the current research, we restrict our attention to static buffer priority (SBP) service disciplines under which the classes at each station are assigned a fixed rank (with no ties). In our queueing network, each type of jobs is assigned the same priority rank at every station where it possibly receives service. When a server within a station switches from one job to another, the new job will be taken from the leading (or longest waiting) job at the highest rank nonempty class at the server’s station. Within each class, it is assumed that jobs are served on the first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. We suppose that the discipline employed is nonidling; that is, a server is never idle when there are jobs waiting to be served at its station. We also assume that the discipline is preemptive resume; that is, when a job arrives at a station with all servers busy and if the job is with a higher rank than at least one of the jobs currently being served, one of the lower rank job services is interrupted; when there is a server available to the interrupted service, it continues from where it left off. For convenience and without loss of generality, we use consecutive numbers to index the classes that have the same priority rank at stations to . In other words, the highest priority classes for station 1 to are indexed by to , the second highest priority classes are indexed by to , and the lowest priority classes are indexed by to . An example of such a two-station network is given in Figure 2. In the network, type 1 traffic possibly requires class 1 and class 2 services, type 2 traffic possibly requires class 3 and class 4 services, and classes in type 1 have the higher priority at their corresponding stations.\nFinally, we define the cumulative arrival, cumulative service, and cumulative routing processes by the following sums: where the th component of is the cumulative number of jobs to class for the first th jobs leaving class with and . Then, we define Note that denotes the total number of external arrivals to class in time interval . represents the total number of class jobs which have finished service in . is the total arrivals to class in including both external arrivals and internal transitions.\n3. Steady-State Queue Length Distributions\nWe use to denote the number of class jobs in station with and at time . It is called the queue length process for class jobs. For convenience, let and be the -dimensional queue length process and -dimensional state vectors, respectively. They are given by for and and nonnegative integers . Then, we use to denote the probability of system at state and at time ; that is, Furthermore, let denote the corresponding steady-state probability of system at state if the network exists in a stationary distribution. In addition, let denote the probability at state for class with and .\nUnder the usual convention, let denote the smaller one of any two real numbers and . Let denote the larger one of and ; that is, and . Then, for each , we have the following notation: Finally, for , define Furthermore, for , define .\nTheorem 1 (steady-state distribution). Assume that all of the service times and external interarrival times are exponentially distributed with rates as before and the traffic intensity for all . Furthermore, suppose that for , , and . Then, for each , the steady-state distribution is given by the following product form: More precisely, for , and, for , the initial distribution is determined by\nThe following theorem relates condition (12) to primitive interarrival time and service rates for some cases of these systems, which provides some insight for more general study.\nProposition 2 (network stability condition). Under the exponential assumptions as stated in Theorem 1, if , for each , the stability condition (12) holds for the following networks.\nNet I. Multiclass networks with single-server stations, that is, the number of servers is one for all stations while the number of job types can be arbitrary.\nNet II. The number of servers can be arbitrary for all stations while the number of job types equals two ().\nWe conjecture that for implies the condition (12) for our general network. Nevertheless, owing to complex computation involved, the corresponding analytical illustration is not a trivial task.\nExample 3. Consider a network with three job types () and at least one station having two servers ( for ) while other stations have at most two servers ( for ). For a station with three servers, the condition (12) can be explicitly expressed as follows: for . Under , it is easy to see that the above inequality is true if . Numerical tests in Table 1 have also been conducted and show that the inequality is true even for , but the corresponding analytic demonstration could be nontrivial. The detailed illustration of the example will be provided at the end of this paper.\nRemark 4. The justifications of Theorem 1 and Proposition 2 are postponed to Section 5. Instead, we will first use these results as comparison criteria to illustrate the effectiveness of the diffusion approximation models developed in Dai [13] and answer the question on when these approximation models can be employed.\n4. Numerical Comparisons\nFirst of all, we note that partial results presented in this section were briefly reported in the short conference version (Dai [20]) of this paper. More precisely, we consider a network with single-server station and under preemptive priority service discipline. By employing the exact solutions developed in previous sections, we conduct performance comparisons between these product-form solutions and the approximating ones of Brownian network models.\nBrownian network models, which are also known as semimartingale reflecting Brownian motions (SRBM), have been widely employed as approximating models for multiclass queueing networks with general interarrival and service time distributions when the traffic intensity defined in (4) is suitably large or close to one (see, e.g., Dai [13]). The effectiveness of the Brownian network models has been justified in numerical cases by comparing their solutions with either exact solutions or simulation results (see, e.g., Dai [13], Chen and Yao [21], and Dai et al. [22]). Thus, it is meaningful to illustrate the correctness of our newly derived formula by comparing it with the Brownian network models.\nFor the network with exponential interarrival and service time distributions, by using Theorem 1, we get the steady-state mean queue length for each class as and the expected total time (sojourn time) a job had to spend in the system as\nFor the network with general interarrival and service time distributions, owing to the nature of our network routing structure, the higher priority classes are independent of lower ones. Then, it follows from the studies in Dai [13], Harrison [23], and Chen and Yao [21] that the steady-state mean sojourn time and mean queue length for each class can iteratively be calculated with respect to priority order as follows: where is the steady-state mean total workload for all classes and . More precisely, it is given by where and , are the variances of interarrival and service time sequences for each class .\nIn our numerical comparisons, we consider an exponential network with . For this case, our corresponding data are listed in Table 2. In the table, and , and for . From the table, we can see that SRBMs are more reasonable approximations of their physical queueing counterparts when traffic intensities for the lowest priority jobs are relatively large.\n5. Proofs of Theorem 1 and Proposition 2\n5.1. Proof of Theorem 1\nFor convenience, we introduce some additional notations. Let , , and be defined by which denote the cumulative external arrivals to class , the cumulative number of jobs finished services at class , and the total arrivals to class in . Then, we can justify Theorem 1 by induction as in the following several steps.\nStep 1. We consider the steady-state distribution for the highest rank classes with each index . In this case, the type index is used in Theorem 1. Owing to the preemptive-resume service discipline and the class routing structure, we know that these classes form a Jackson network. Then, by the theorem in Jackson [24], we have the following product form: where denotes the steady-state probability at state for class at station . More precisely, it is given by with being determined by equation ; that is,\nStep 2. We derive the steady-state distribution for the highest rank and the second highest rank classes with . Owing to the preemptive-resume service discipline and the job routing structure, we have where the second equality follows from the preemptive assumption and is the conditional probability at time for classes with at state in terms of classes with at state ; that is, In order to get the steady state distribution for , we consider each state at time for the second highest rank class jobs. There are several ways in which the system can reach it. They can be summarized in the following formula: where as defined in (10). is infinitesimal in terms of ; that is, as . Equation (28) can be illustrated in the following disjoint events.\nEvent . The -dimensional queue length process keeps at state unchanging at times and ; that is, This event involves the following two parts.\nPart One. Suppose for all ; that is, no external jobs arrive to classes with indices belonging to during while no jobs finish their services, either because the jobs being served at time require longer service times than or because the services are blocked or interrupted by higher rank class jobs. Then, the probability for Part One can be expressed in the following product form: where is defined to be The event in the third equality of (30) is defined as follows: To explain the fourth equality of (30), we introduce more notations. Let denote the probability that for , and let be the probability that for ; that is, These probabilities can be explicitly expressed in terms of the external arrival rates, service rates, and network states; for example, Thus, by the independent assumptions on external arrival and service processes among different stations and classes, and for each , we have For the case , one can use the similar way to check that the result in the above equation is also true.\nPart Two. Suppose for at least one ; that is, the number (at least one) of jobs that finished their services for class in equals that of jobs that arrived at the class. It is easy to see that the probability corresponding part one is given by where is defined in (31).\nThen, it follows from (30) and (36) that the probability for Event is given by\nEvent . There is a such that , and for all , . Similar to the discussion in Event , we can obtain the probability for Event as follows:\nEvent . There is a such that , and for all , . Then, we can get the probability for Event as follows:\nEvent . There exist such that , , , and and for all , . Then, we can get the probability for Event as follows:\nNow we go back to discuss (28). After transferring the from right to left, dividing by , and taking the limit as tends to zero, we get the following differential equations: Next we show that the given distribution corresponding in Theorem 1 is a steady-state solution of those equations described by (41). It is enough to demonstrate that the derivatives in the above equations are all made zero by setting , that is, to prove that By the definition of in Theorem 1, that is, for each , then, we can rewrite (42) as follows: From the given distribution in Theorem 1, we have Then, by (44) to (45), we know that it is sufficient to show Owing to the routing structure and the traffic equation (3), we have the following observations: Then, substituting (47) into (46), we get the necessary equality.\nNext, we derive the initial distribution corresponding to state . By the network stability conditions (12) and for each , it follows from that the following initial distribution is well posed: Hence, we complete the proof of Theorem 1 for priority types .\nStep 3. To finish the induction procedure, in this step, we first suppose that the result described in Theorem 1 is true for all classes with priority rank ; then, we show that it is true for all classes with priority rank . By the similar illustration in getting (41), we have the following differential equations: Next, we show that the given distribution corresponding the lowest priority type in Theorem 1 is a steady-state solution of those equations described by (49). It suffices to demonstrate that the derivatives in the above equations are all made zero by setting , that is, to prove that By the definition of in Theorem 1, we have Then, we can rewrite (50) as follows: From the given distribution in Theorem 1, we have"}

{"text": "KOPERNIK PARTNERS WITH OTSUKA PHARMACEUTICAL AND JICA TO ASSIST TB PATIENTS IN INDONESIA WITH MOBILE PHONE APP\nDeclared by the World Health Organisation (WHO, 2015) as one of the world’s most fatal infectious diseases, Tuberculosis (TB) has been included in the 2015 Sustainable Development Goals agenda to be eradicated by 2030. Even now, the TB bacterium does not discriminate, infecting people from a broad range of socio-economic backgrounds and regions around the world.\nTo address this critical issue, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) are working in partnership with the consulting arm of Kopernik by localizing a mobile technology to support TB patients. This 24-month project was launched at the end of 2015 with the aim to create a high-impact, cost-effective intervention that increases patient adherence to TB treatment by empowering patients through a mobile phone application. Throughout the project implementation, Kopernik has provided assistance in desk research, rapid assessments and application testing, while working closely with key stakeholders, TB patients, family members, and healthcare providers.\nResearch has shown that providing knowledge about TB and treatment best practice is one of the best ways to increase patient compliance with the treatment regimen and fight the disease. The mobile app currently being tested in this project allows patients to track their treatment progress, receive notifications and alerts, learn relevant information about TB, and use special features, such as e-consultation and supporters’ messaging system. The ultimate goal is to boost patients’ motivation to complete their medication for their health, as well as public health purposes.\nIn this information age, internet expansion has in many ways simplified our ability to access to information. Additionally, in an emerging economy like Indonesia, smartphone users are growing rapidly every year. Therefore, the internet and phone technology present themselves as viable, and possibly pivotal, tools to support effective TB patient treatment and provide access to reliable information about the disease. A distinguishing feature of this app is that it targets TB patients directly. While, to date, other mobile technology products have primarily focused on healthcare providers.\nOn 1st February 2017, the project began recruiting patients in three TB-specialized Indonesian hospitals to voluntarily use the app for six months. Through data analysis and interviews, Kopernik seeks to obtain insights into enabling factors and barriers to drug treatment. Results and recommendations of this project will be shared with key stakeholders in the Indonesian TB sector towards the end of 2017."}

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE, APPELLANT\nAppeal from the Order of Commonwealth Court, No. 1313 C.D. 1983, dated May 23, 1984, Reversing the Order of the Department of Public Welfare. Nos. 53 and 68 Middle District Appeal Dockets 1984. 82 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 116,\nNix, C.j., and Larsen, Flaherty, McDermott, Hutchinson, Zappala and Papadakos, JJ. Zappala, J., filed a concurring opinion. Hutchinson, J., concurs in the result. Nix, C.j., and Larsen, J., filed a dissenting opinion.\n[ 509 Pa. Page 166]\nOPINION\nGiven the substantial public importance of the question involved in these consolidated appeals, and the scant and evenly divided authority existing thereon, we have deemed it appropriate to grant discretionary review. In this case of first impression, we are concerned, primarily, with a matter of statutory construction in which the intent of the Legislature is controlling. After evidence was presented before a hearing officer, all Appellees were granted general assistance benefits as transitionally needy persons.*fn1 This decision was upheld by the Department of Public Welfare. Timely notices of appeal were filed by each Appellee to Commonwealth Court requesting assistance as chronically needy persons*fn2 rather than transitionally needy persons.\n[ 509 Pa. Page 167]\nAfter consolidation, Commonwealth Court reversed the orders of the Department of Public Welfare and remanded for computation of their general assistance benefits as chronically needy persons. Fisher, et al, v. Commonwealth, Department of Public Welfare, 82 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 116, 475 A.2d 873 (1984). Subsequently, timely Petitions for Allowance of Appeal were filed and granted for Sandra Fisher, et al, on September 15, 1984, and for Gregory Matic on October 15, 1984. We now reverse Commonwealth Court.\nThe factual pattern of employment for each Appellee reveals that all five Appellees applied for unemployment compensation benefits and were denied for various reasons.\nAppellee Fisher lacked adequate earnings in her base year to collect unemployment compensation benefits.*fn3 Appellees Sharp and La Rue*fn4 were ruled ineligible for unemployment compensation benefits as a result of being fired for willful misconduct.*fn5 Appellee Schneider was ineligible because he was self-employed.*fn6 Appellee Arabi lacked eligibility due to his employment record being outside the United States.*fn7 Appellee Matic was ineligible for unemployment compensation because he voluntarily quit his job without\n[ 509 Pa. Page 168]\na compelling and necessitous reason.*fn8 Thus, each Appellee was properly found ineligible to receive any unemployment compensation benefits. Parenthetically, each Appellee enjoyed at least forty-eight months of full-time employment out of the previous eight years. After being denied unemployment compensation benefits, all Appellees applied for cash assistance benefits and were granted ninety days of general assistance benefits as transitionally needy persons because the Department of Public Welfare determined that they did not meet the criteria for chronically needy (year-round) benefits.\nIt is undisputed that all Appellees met the work requirement standard set forth in subsection (H), footnote 2, id.,*fn9 but the Department concluded that none had fulfilled the requirement that unemployment compensation benefits be exhausted. The Department of Public Welfare thus classified the Appellees as transitionally needy persons. This ruling was timely appealed by all Appellees to Commonwealth Court..\nOur interpretation of statutory language is governed by 1 Pa.C.S. § 1921, Act of December 6, 1972, P.L. 1339, No. 290, § 3, which states:\n[ 509 Pa. Page 169]\n§ 1921. Legislative intent controls.\n.\nFurthermore, when the statute's meaning is plain, we may not look to the legislative history when doing so would alter the plain meaning of the statute. Hellertown Manufacturing Co. v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 480 Pa. 358, 390 A.2d 732 (1978).\nThe supreme principle of statutory interpretation must be that each word used by the Legislature has meaning and was used for a reason, not as mere surplusage. \"The Legislature cannot be deemed to intend that its language be superfluous and without import.\" Commonwealth v. Mack Bros. Motor Car Co., 359 Pa. 636, 640, 59 A.2d 923, 925 (1948). See also, Daly v. Hemphill, 411 Pa. 263, 273, 191 A.2d 835, 842 (1963).\nGeneral Assistance has been available to qualified Pennsylvania applicants since 1937 when the Public Assistance Law was originally enacted (Act of June 24, 1937, P.L. 2051,\n[ 509 Pa. Page 170]\n§ 4). After numerous changes and refinements, the current Welfare Reform Act was enacted in 1982, Act of April 8, 1982, P.L. 231, No. 75, § 10. The Act is fashioned to tighten the eligibility standards for General Assistance cash payments by encouraging self-sufficiency for able-bodied workers and allocating funds to the most needy. The problem with Commonwealth Court's interpretation is that they are reading words into the Public Welfare Act rather than accepting the plain meaning of the statute.\nIts conclusion that an \"applicant need only exhaust such benefits should they be available\" (page 174), basically is premised on the assumption that these Claimants should be allowed benefits because that is what the Welfare Reform Act was designed to do, and because \"the Legislature did not intend a result that is absurd . . . or unreasonable\" (page 174).\nBy coupling a work history with the necessity of exhausting unemployment compensation benefits, the Legislature in clear language imposed a requirement that a claimant earn, apply for and receive unemployment compensation and use it all up as pre-conditions to qualifying as \"chronically needy persons.\" Inherent in the term \"exhaust\" is the notion that before something can be exhausted, it first must have been available and, moreover, received to the fullest extent possible. That which does not exist cannot be consumed or used up or exhausted. Similarly, a claimant cannot receive extended benefits until regular benefits have been received and exhausted. Nikolaidis v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 41 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 137, 398 A.2d 755 (1979).\nIn the instant case, we are urged to believe that the term \"exhaust\" can be subject to two interpretations, namely, that a claimant must either receive and use up unemployment compensation benefits, or simply apply for unemployment compensation and be denied. This latter interpretation is nothing more than an exhaustion of administrative procedures. It surely is not an exhaustion of benefits.\n[ 509 Pa. Page 171].\nThe entire legislative history of the Welfare Reform Act has been thoroughly reviewed by this Court. The key term \"exhaust\" has been discussed during legislative debate and each time the word appears, the conclusion is that unemployment benefits must have been \"used up\" in order to receive chronically needy benefits. The whole flavor of the Act is to tighten the reigns of spending by imposing strict requirements on claimants seeking general assistance payments and, in doing so, requiring all claimants to exhaust unemployment benefits pursuant to 62 Pa.S. § 432(3)(i)(H).\nThe decision of Commonwealth Court is reversed.\nJUDGMENT\nON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, it is now hereby ordered and adjudged by this Court that the Order of the Commonwealth Court is reversed.\nDisposition\nZAPPALA, Justice, concurring.\nI concur in the result. An infelicitous choice of words in the articulation of its reasoning lays the lead opinion open to criticism on peripheral points of dispute while obscuring the controlling issue.\nThe question in this case is whether the Appellees are eligible for general assistance benefits as chronically needy persons under 62 Pa.S. § 432(3)(i)(H). That section of the\n[ 509 Pa. Page 172]\nPublic Assistance Law defines as a chronically needy person\nAny person who has previously been employed full time for at least forty-eight months out of the previous eight years and has exhausted his or her unemployment compensation benefits prior to applying for assistance.\nThe Department of Public Welfare denied the Appellees' claims for general assistance benefits as chronically needy persons because for various reasons the Appellees either did not qualify for or were ineligible to receive unemployment compensation benefits. According to the Department such persons had not \"exhausted [their] unemployment compensation benefits\" and therefore did not come within the definition of \"chronically needy person\" set forth in 62 Pa.S. § 432(3)(i)(H).\nIn the appeal to Commonwealth Court challenging the Appellees' classification as transitionally needy persons, argument focused on the meaning of the word \"exhausted\". The Appellees argued, and Commonwealth Court held, that unemployment compensation benefits need not have been received and depleted in order for the exhaustion requirement to be met. Rather, the claimant need only have pursued whatever unemployment compensation benefits were available to him. If none were available, whether because of the claimant's failure to qualify for such benefits or because of a determination that he was ineligible for benefits, the exhaustion requirement would be satisfied.\nAssuming that the meaning of the term \"exhausted his or her unemployment compensation benefits\" is sufficiently unclear as to require the court to engage in an inquiry to discern the intention of the General Assembly,*fn1 the interpretation argued for by the Appellees and accepted by the\n[ 509 Pa. Page 173]\ncourt below does not bear up under scrutiny. Initially, the Commonwealth Court attempts to reason by analogy. Thus it is said that \"[i]n conjunction with administrative law, i.e. exhaustion of administrative remedies, the term exhaustion does not require that a party have an administrative remedy as a precondition to access to the courts, but merely means that if an administrative remedy exists, the party must first use it.\" 82 Pa. Commw. at 120, 475 A.2d at 875. The parallel to be drawn in the present case is that in order to exhaust unemployment compensation benefits for purposes of this section, a claimant need not have been entitled to benefits, but merely have first used them if he were entitled to them. This is a false analogy.\nWhereas a person who has not received unemployment benefits seeks to come within the definition of the word \"exhaust\", a party for whom there is no administrative remedy does not argue that he has \"exhausted his administrative remedies\" and therefore may proceed in court. He belongs in court in the first instance; \"administrative remedies\" and \"exhaustion\" are simply irrelevant to his case. Where no administrative remedies exist, it is absurd to say that a party may proceed in court because he has \"exhausted his administrative remedies.\" The concept of exhaustion is utterly meaningless in such a context. The correct statement of the premise in the Commonwealth Court's reasoning is that \"the doctrine of exhaustion of administrative remedies does not require that a party have an administrative remedy as a precondition to access to the courts, but merely means that if an administrative remedy exists, the party must first use it.\" As thus corrected, however, the premise offers no support for the argued meaning of the term \"exhausted\".\nThe Commonwealth Court further errs by setting up the general statement of the purpose of the Public Assistance Law as controlling in specific determinations of eligibility. Describing the statement of purpose contained in Section 401 of the Law, 62 Pa.S. § 401, as establishing a \"worthy man\" concept, the court concludes that the Appellees have\n[ 509 Pa. Page 174]\neach in one way or another demonstrated that they are not \"unworthy\". Whether the Appellees or any other claimant might marshal evidence to convince this or any tribunal that in the abstract or by comparison they are \"worthy\" to receive benefits as chronically needy persons is of no legal significance. The legislature has done more than state that assistance is to be granted to \"worthy\" people, it has specifically defined those people whom it considers to be worthy. The court engages in this discussion of \"worthiness\" ostensibly in aid of ascertaining the proper interpretation of \"exhausted\", but the result is even further error. The court notes that each of the Appellees had by his work experience demonstrated \"self-dependency and the desire to be a good citizen and useful to society.\" Subsection (H), under which the Appellees seek to qualify themselves as chronically needy, requires not only work experience of at least 48 months out of the last eight years, but also exhaustion of unemployment benefits. If the Appellees could demonstrate \"worthiness\" and therefore eligibility merely by producing evidence of a sufficient work record, the exhaustion language would be surplusage. \"Every statute shall be construed, if possible, to give effect to all of its provisions.\" 1 Pa.C.S. § 1921(a). See also Daly v. Hemphill, 411 Pa. 263, 191 A.2d 835 (1963).\nIn this connection, the court also makes oblique reference to the rule of statutory construction that it may be presumed that \"the General Assembly does not intend a result that is absurd . . . or unreasonable.\" 1 Pa.C.S. § 1922(1). Having previously acknowledged that the Department's interpretation of the term \"exhaust\" serves to further the general purpose of the statute, however, the court cannot rationally conclude that the results of that interpretation, however harsh or distasteful to the court, are absurd or unreasonable.\nFinally, the court errs in asserting that the Department's interpretation is tantamount to adding words which the Legislature could have, but did not use. Thus the court dismisses the department's argument, which it frames as\n[ 509 Pa. Page 175]\n\"that by use of the term 'exhausted' the Legislature meant 'received and exhausted'\", by stating that \"[i]f that is what the Legislature intended it is certainly familiar with the verb 'receive' and could easily have utilized it.\" In effect, the court has lured the Department into defining a word which the Department was satisfied was clear on its face, and then sprung the trap when the Department uses other words to convey the same meaning. It does not require acute discernment to recognize the same \"fault\" in the court's conclusion that the Legislature intended \"exhaust\" to mean \"exhaust if benefits should be available\".\nMy agreement with the result reached in the lead opinion, though, is not simply based on confuting the rationale of the lower court. There are several strong reasons in support of the Department's interpretation of subsection (H).\nPreliminarily, it must be made clear that the factors to be considered in ascertaining legislative intent, 1 Pa.C.S. § 1921(C), are to be applied in this case to provisions of the Welfare Reform Act, Act of April 8, 1982, P.L. 231, No. 75, § 10, which amended the Public Assistance Law, Act of June 24, 1937, P.L. 2051, § 4. Although both of these statutes are among those to be \"liberally construed to effect their objects and to promote justice\", 1 Pa.C.S. § 1928(c),*fn2 it cannot be ignored that the Reform Act significantly altered the eligibility requirements for general assistance payments. As described by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit,\n[ 509 Pa. Page 176]\ntransitionally needy are limited to three months' general assistance payments in any twelve month period.\nPrice v. Cohen, 715 F.2d 87, 89 (3rd Cir. 1983) (classifications not violative of equal protection). Considering the Reform Act in light of \"the occasion and necessity\" for it, \"the circumstances under which it was enacted\", \"the mischief to be remedied\", \"the object to be attained\", and \"the former law . . . upon the same or similar subjects\", 1 Pa.C.S. § 1921(c)(1)-(5), subsection (H) must be construed as a limitation on eligibility for year-round benefits. I do not understand the lead opinion to be doing any more than this, although the language employed (\"we read our statute and the legislative history behind it to impose stricter standards\", \"[t]he whole flavor of the Act is to tighten the reigns of spending by imposing strict requirements\", at 620) readily gives rise to the misperception of Justice Larsen's dissent that the Act is being \"strictly construed\". In the case of a statute generally granting benefits, it might well be that in a doubtful case \"liberal construction\" of the statute would result in a decision in favor of coverage rather than denial of all benefits. In the case of an amendatory statute whose purpose is to limit full benefits to certain categories of recipients while allowing partial benefits to others, \"liberal construction\" does not mandate that doubtful cases be construed in favor of full coverage. Rather \"liberal construction to effect the purpose of the statute. . .\" requires that limitations be construed as limitations, no more, no less.\nExamining subsection (H) in the context of the entire list of limitations imposed on eligibility for year-round benefits, it is readily apparent that the General Assembly distinguished among several types of persons who were not receiving unemployment compensation benefits. Subsection (G) defines as chronically needy \"[a]ny person who is ineligible for unemployment compensation and whose income falls below the assistance allowance level as a result of a natural disaster as determined by the department.\" 62 Pa.S. § 432(3)(i)(G) (emphasis added). Subsection (I), a transitional provision maintaining persons on the general assistance\n[ 509 Pa. Page 177]\nrolls for a period of approximately six months after the effective date of the amendments, contains a clause prohibiting persons dropped from the rolls during those six months from requalifying under the transitional provision \"except when such person has been terminated from employment through no fault of his own and has not met the minimum credit week qualifications of the . . . Unemployment Compensation Law.\" 62 Pa.S. § 432(3)(i)(I) (emphasis added). It is unmistakeable that the General Assembly recognizes as distinct categories those who are ineligible for unemployment benefits, those who have exhausted unemployment benefits, and those who do not meet the statutory qualifications for unemployment benefits. In the face of these clear distinctions, it borders on linguistic anarchy to assert that those who are ineligible to receive or do not qualify for unemployment compensation benefits can nevertheless be considered as having exhausted their benefits.\nIf further indication of the reasoning ascribed to the term \"exhausted\" by the Legislature were necessary, reference to the Unemployment Compensation Law itself should suffice to quell any lingering doubts. For purposes of the Extended Benefits Program, Act of Feb. 9, 1971, P.L. 1, No. 1 § 2, an \"exhaustee\" means \"an individual who, with respect to any week of unemployment in his eligibility period: (1) has received, prior to such week, all of the regular benefits that were available to him . . .\" 43 P.S. § 811(h) (emphasis added).\nGiving the Department's interpretation of the statute appropriate weight, reading the statute in conjunction with the related unemployment compensation law, examining the subsection in context of the entire statute, and finding the arguments in support of a contrary interpretation to be built on a series of demonstrably faulty premises, I cannot but conclude that this Court is correct in reversing the Order of the Commonwealth Court.\nNIX, Chief Justice, dissenting.\nI was opposed to the grant of allocatur in this matter, being satisfied that the issue was correctly decided by the\n[ 509 Pa. Page 178]\nCommonwealth Court and that further explication was unnecessary. After studying the scholarly briefs submitted, the eloquent oral argument offered, and the expression of the views of my colleagues in support of reversal, my opinion remains unaltered.\nI dissent.\nLARSEN, Justice, dissenting.\nI must vigorously dissent to the plurality's decision and reasoning in this case, particularly its application of a \"strict construction\" approach to the interpretation of the public assistance provisions of the Public Welfare Code. By engaging in dubious semantics, the plurality's interpretation of the Code has deprived many deserving claimants of benefits that the legislature surely intended them to have. I would affirm the Commonwealth Court's common sense and just decision on the basis of Judge Colins' opinion for the unanimous panel (Colins, Rogers and Craig, JJ.) which states, in relevant part:\nIt is admitted by the Department that four out of the five claimants had the requisite 48 months of employment over the previous eight years. These four claimants were denied general assistance solely because they had not qualified for unemployment benefits.\nIn dealing with questions of legislative intent, we are directed by the Statutory Construction Act of 1972 (Act), to construe statutory words and phrases \"according to the rules of grammar and according to their common or approved usage\". 1 Pa.C.S. § 1903; Campbell v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (M. Glosser & Sons), [80] Pa. Commonwealth Ct. [148], 472 A.2d 272 (1984).\nIn the instant matter, we are confronted with the problem that the word \"exhaust\" is subject to two different interpretations. In conjunction with administrative law, i.e. exhaustion of administrative remedies, the term exhaustion does not require that a party have an administrative\n[ 509 Pa. Page 179]\nremedy as a precondition to access to the courts, but merely means that if an administrative remedy exists, the party must first use it. However, the Department maintains that you cannot exhaust something unless it was there to begin with.\nThis ambiguity is further reinforced by the fact that counsel for each side use the same quotes from the same legislative debates, by the same legislators, to reinforce their particular position. And, curiously enough, they are both correct. This further emphasizes the ambiguous nature of the phrase.\n\"When the words of the statute are not explicit, the intention of the general assembly may be ascertained by considering, among other matters . . . the contemporaneous legislative history.\" 1 Pa.C.S. § 1921(c)(7). However, this Court has declared that \"the records of individual legislators in debate are not relevant for the obvious reason that they represent only one person's view and not that of the opposing or enacting body.\" Zemprelli v. Thornburgh, 47 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 43, 54, 407 A.2d 102, 109 (1979).\nThe legislative intent of the Code is defined at Section 401. The Department claims that the stated purpose of the Code establishes a \"worthy man\" concept. The only portion of Section 401 which could indicate such a purpose would be the following which states \"that assistance shall be administered in such a way and manner as to encourage self-respect, self-dependency and the desire to be a good citizen and useful to society.\"\nThe Department argues that its interpretation of \"exhaust\" fulfills the above-stated legislative intent. It allegedly discourages those who have quit their employment or have been fired from being able to collect general assistance, even though they may have qualified for such assistance. To that extent, the Department's interpretation of the term \"exhaust\" does \"encourage . . . self-dependency and the desire to be . . . useful to society\".\n[ 509 Pa. Page 180]\nHowever, the claimants have shown, and we concur, that the Department's interpretation also deprives those who are not \"unworthy\". It is undisputed that claimant, Sandra Fisher, had 62 months of employment over the previous eight years. Prior to applying for general assistance, however, Ms. Fisher was employed under a training program and such income did not qualify the claimant for unemployment compensation.\nThere is no basis on which Ms. Fisher can be classified as a person \"unworthy\" of general assistance. By working for 62 months out of the last eight years, she has demonstrated her \"self-dependency and the desire to be a good citizen and useful to society\". We are guided by principles of statutory construction which presume that the Legislature did not intend a result that is \"absurd . . . or unreasonable\". 1 Pa.C.S. § 1922(1).\nIt is well settled that a court has no power to insert a word into a statutory provision when the Legislature has failed to supply it. Worley v. Augustine, 310 Pa. Superior Ct. 178, 456 A.2d 558 (1983); In Re: Township of Upper Chichester, 52 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 121, 415 A.2d 1250 (1980). The Department argues strongly that the Courts should not presume that the Legislature intended that which it declined to say; however, the Department actually maintains that by use of the term \"exhausted\", the Legislature meant \"received and exhausted\". If that is what the Legislature intended it is certainly familiar with the verb \"receive\" and could easily have utilized it.\nWe find that the Legislature did not intend that an applicant for general assistance, pursuant to Section 432(3)(i)(H) of the Code, qualify for unemployment benefits as a prerequisite to entitlement for general assistance. The applicant need only exhaust such benefits should they be available.\n82 Pa. Commw. 116, 475 A.2d at 874-76. (footnotes omitted).\n[ 509 Pa. Page 181]\nIn rejecting this interpretation, the plurality erroneously states that the \"problem with Commonwealth Court's interpretation is that they are reading words into the Public Welfare Act rather than accepting the plain meaning of the statute.\" At 620. The plurality then ignores its own admonition against \"reading words into\" the Public Welfare Code in holding that \"we must conclude that the Legislature intended 'exhaust' to mean the Appellees must have qualified for and received unemployment benefits and depleted their entitlement to same . . . .\" At 170-171. I cannot agree that the \"plain meaning\" of the word \"exhausted\" is \"qualified for and received and depleted\"-merely ascribing a meaning to a word and labeling that meaning as the \"plain\" one does not necessarily make it so. It is the plurality that \"reads words into\" the Code, not the Commonwealth Court.*fn1\nMy principal quarrel with the plurality is not, however, one of semantics, for reasonable men and women may differ as to their interpretations of various words and phrases and may also differ as to the means they use to arrive at their interpretations. My major disagreement with the plurality is of a more fundamental and philosophical nature as it concerns the plurality's misguided decision to construe the Public Welfare Code strictly in favor of denial or restriction of benefits to claimants. (\"we read our statute and the legislative history behind it to impose stricter standards for claimants to receive benefits under the Act . . .\" At 171). While the plurality may well be correct that the \"flavor\" of the Welfare Reform Act of 1982 is to \"tighten the reigns of spending\", see Price v. Cohen, 715 F.2d 87 (3d Cir. 1983), that \"flavor\" does not obliterate the underlying objectives and goals of the Public\n[ 509 Pa. Page 182]\nWelfare Code which are set forth in section 401, 62 P.S. § 401, as follows:\nLegislative intent\nIt is hereby declared to be the legislative intent.\nThis statement of legislative intent was not altered by the Welfare Reform Act of 1982,*fn2 and firmly establishes that the Public Welfare Code is humanitarian and remedial in nature -- as such, the courts are required to construe its provisions liberally in favor of coverage. Statutory Construction Act of 1972, 1 Pa.C.S.A. § 1928, Rule of strict and liberal construction;*fn3 Penn Hills School District v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 496 Pa. 620, 437 A.2d 1213 (1981); Krawchuk v. Philadelphia Electric Co., 497 Pa. 115, 439 A.2d 627 (1981) (liberal construction of Workmen's Compensation Act). The \"strict construction\" approach advocated today by the plurality is diametrically opposed to the objectives and goals of the Public Welfare Code. The legislature may have intended to \"tighten the reigns of spending\" by the Welfare Reform Act, but the plurality's interpretation \"tightens the reigns\" with such force that the original purpose and objective of the Public Welfare Code is ignored and"}

{"text": "Yes, they have them and probably wont release them until I pay them. The show starts on 9/3 so I will have to pay.\nThx\nRuss\nThank you for the information Russ. Your initial post: I shipped product with carrier in a crate to a trade show. The trade show coordinator, a subcontractor of the show, receives the crates and warehouses them and delivers to the booth. I can't make this up, but the trade show coordinator site has a photo of crate, and next to it $89 material and handling fee. I assumed this was there cost to place on fork lift and bring to the booth. I received a bill for the $2477, including the $89 fee for the crates. It was priced per the weight of the crates. Even the customer service rep did not see on their own site the area where the crates are actually weighted and priced per lb. She asked for help, and when you click on the crate, it goes to page 2, show estimator page. Further, the trade show coordinator was contract and I received bill of lading to have their trucking company pick up my merchandise at previous show. I was specific as to the items, i.e., cabinets, 40 x 48 x 36, on wheels. Salesperson called them crates, I said no, they are cabinets. She said didnt matter. Trucking company came and refused to take the cabinets because they were not crated. Cabinets and merchandise left unsupervised for 36 hours until I found other arrangements to pick up the merchandise and secure. ($10,000 of display cabinets). I arranged crating and other company to transport goods to upcoming show. Thats when GES, trade show coordinator, received merchandise. This is the same company that billed me the add'l $2477. I didnt sign a contract for this, but they have my crates. Is there any legal recourse for damages in addition to reimbursement of costs for there errors? Response: You do have legal recourse. However, since you need your crates for your show on 9/3, you would need to pay them under protest. Then make a formal demand for them to pay for damages done in addition to reimbursement of costs for their errors. Since you do not have any contract with them, they really do not have any right to be charging you these fees except for the amount that showed next to the crates when they were being loaded. Unfortunately, it is likely, that you have to file lawsuit to make them to pay. So, you have to calculate the cost of suing (Court costs, Attorney’s fees, Court hearings) versus the cost of not suing and see which action or nonaction would be the better course of action for you, economic wise.\nLet me know if you need further clarification.\nThanks for the quick reply. Do I need to state that is paid under protest, or pay it, and send lettter of protest. This will be a credit card payment over)."}

{"text": " Cordelia, Lear commands to Kent, “Out of my sight!” (1.1.156). Kent fittingly implores the aging king to “See better, Lear; and let me still remain / The true blank of thine eye” (1.1.157-8). Kent recognizes love in its most noble form in the person of Cordelia, and is able to see through the hypocrisy of Lear’s other two daughters. In beseeching Lear to “[s]ee better,” Kent is, in effect, asking Lear to look beyond his vanity and inward pride to see the honesty of Cordelia, who refuses to put her love for her father on show. From the very first act of the play, then, Shakespeare has set up the theme of consciousness, using the metaphor of sight. Kent’s imperative to “see better” is prompting Lear not to use his faculty of vision, but, metaphorically, to become conscious of what is going on around him; to see the world as it truly is. It is fascinating that, upon Kent’s imperative, Lear swears, “Now, by Apollo-” (1.1.159). As Apollo is the god of the sun whose maxim is to “know thyself,” it is particularly telling that Lear is invoking the god associated with sharpness of vision and light, when he, himself, remains unenlightened. The unrelenting Kent, recognizes Lear’s blindness as well as the futility of invoking the god of self-knowledge, and, despite the king’s growing anger, declares, “Thou swear’st thy gods in vain” (1.1.161). The theme of consciousness is underscored by the Gloucester plot in King Lear. Gloucester, like Lear, is an aging man who has yet to learn the true nature of his children. In this way, he shares Lear’s metaphorical blindness, but Shakespeare does not stop there; he adds the physical impairment of vision to Gloucester’s character as well. It is mentioned that Gloucester requires the need of “spectacles” in order to read the fabricated letter his son Edmund presents to him. Ironically, even with the use of an instrument to heighten his vision, Gloucester is still unable to see things as they truly are. With no prior provocation, and hardly any “ocular” proof, Gloucester immediately believes that his legitimate son Edgar has formed a conspiracy against him. Shakespeare heightens Gloucester’s metaphoric blindness by casting him offstage during Lear’s banishment of Cordelia. Thus, in this sense, Gloucester is blind onstage. If he were present, Gloucester would have been able to gain awareness of the insincerity of children, as illustrated by Goneril and Regan, and apply it to his own situation. Lear, who is onstage, lacks this awareness. Even the lord of France comments to Burgundy that “Love’s not love / When it is mingled with regards that stands / Aloof from th’ entire point” (1.1.239-241). France is essentially asserting that love is not love when one is just competing for a piece of land. Lear is onstage to hear these words, but he fails to see how this can be applied to his own situation. The tragic descent of Lear into blindness begins shortly after transferring his power to his daughters. Lear becomes disoriented as early as Act 1.4 when he questions his identity in terms of sight: “Doth any here know me? This is not Lear. / Doth Lear walk thus? Speak thus? Where are his eyes?” (201-2). Lear is beginning to question his identity because he is no longer at the same place he was at the play’s opening. He is beginning to see the true nature of his ungrateful daughters, and, as a result, his self has started to disintegrate, as he gradually delves into madness. After being turned away yet again by his daughters, as they question his need for a train of knights, Lear exclaims, exasperated, “O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars / Are in the poorest thing superfluous. / Allow not nature more than nature needs, / Man’s life’s as cheap as beast’s” (2.4.259-262). Here the parallel plot of the Gloucester comes into play, for Edgar, disguised as a beggar and stripped to his barest essentials, becomes emblematic of what Lear is articulating in the above speech. Lear, too, is stripped down: stripped of his sovereignty, his train, and respect from his daughters. Through his wanderings and his experience on the heath, Lear learns to become a more sympathetic character. He is forced to ruminate upon the daily lives of the poor, commenting,\nFavell Parrett’s novel Past The Shallows is the chilling and hard-hitting story concentrated on the lives of brothers Harry and Miles as they grow up and experience the many hardships […] […]"}

{"text": "Sing Out My Soul (Hemmets Harold LP 348) 1970? Sweden *\nJust might have to hand out the ol’ 5-star rating to this irresistible Swedish custom 1p. It’s certainly the most exciting thing I’ve heard from those parts. Though much of the album is remakes of things like ‘Oh Happy Day’, ‘Calvary’ (to the tune of ‘Yesterday’), and ‘Amen’, it’s the psych, go-go, lounge, and beat interpretations these four guys apply that elevate it to the coveted “monster” status. Plastered throughout with what sounds like a ballpark organ giving mood to the softly crooned ballads and setting the bouncy numbers on fire and delivering some incredible surging solos. ‘He Is There’ gets served up with some stinging fuzz guitar. ‘I Recommend’ is a go-go masterpiece that’ll get you up out of your chair, as will the swingin’ covers of ‘I Met Him In Church’ and ‘Amen’ (for their interpretation of the latter imagine the ‘Tequila’ rhythm slowed down a little). ‘I Surrender All’ closes the set bringing back the fuzz plus some spastic bursts of wah-wah guitar for what’s got to be the most powerful rendition of this classic hymn ever recorded. Special thanks to Bob Felberg for introducing me to this classic. (The Archivist, 4th Edition by Ken Scott).\nI have not acquired this album yet. Thank you George for the rear cover photo.\nTracks:\nAs far as I know this album was released in 1969. It was released on the Swedish gospel label Hemmets Härold, a label founded in the early 1930s ().\nNew Creation from the west coast city of Gothenburg was one of the first Christian rock bands out of Sweden and could be considered kind of a “super group”. The band was led by songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Pelle Karlsson (today probably best known as husband and producer for CCM artist Evie Tornquist Karlsson), and also featured Lennart Sjöholm on keyboards (who is Sweden’s answer to US producers/arrangers like Jonathan David Brown or Brown Bannister, listed with more than 400 credits at Discogs:öholm), as well as a rhythm section consisting of Dan Ekström on bass and Anders “Putte” Kjellberg on drums (Kjellberg also played drums on “Tungt Vatten”, the debut album by the Swedish blues rock band Vatten)."}

{"text": " Brinsmead or around Cairns, or Cairns commercial property that has equity available for the security of the funding. The property can be located pretty much anywhere including Brinsme Brinsmead, Working Capital, Cairns\nCompanies having this kind of seasonality often find themselves short of cash on hand to pay for wages and other working expenses and so in need of a working capital loan throughout their quiet interval. The loan is normally reimbursed by the time the busy season rolls around and the loan is no more required.\nA working capital loan has the immediate benefit of providing quick money to pay gaps in the working capital expenditure. As well as being fast, the other advantage is that a working capital Loan is debt financing and doesn't need an equity transaction. This usually means the business owner retains full control of the business even beneath a dire financing need.\nIt is typical for various types of companies to have varying or unpredictable revenue through the year. For instance, manufacturing companies often have cyclical sales cycles which follow the requirements of their own retailers. For instance, a lot of retailers promote a massive proportion of product from the fourth quarter over the holiday year, and in order to supply those merchants with adequate goods that means producers frequently need to boost their production during the winter months to make sure there is enough stock for the fourth quarter rush. Then at the close of the year retailers are undecided on selling their inventory down and so reduce their purchasing from the manufacturer, thus decreasing the producers earnings.\nThe money available to pay for a company's short-term operational requirements is known as working capital. However, when a company does not have sufficient cash on hand or sufficient liquid assets to pay those daily operational expenses, they may require assistance in financing those expenses. Working capital loans are a sort of simple company debt borrowing, intended specifically to cover the shortfall on short-term daily operations.\nIf you require help in funding the everyday operations of your business, then a working capital loan might be what you want. They are not meant for long-term assets or investments, rather they're used for regular tasks like accounts payable, wages and so on. If your company is highly seasonal or has rather cyclical revenue cycles, then a working capital loan might help during periods of diminished company action.\nTags: Cash Flow, Business Loans, Budgeting, Business Capital Brinsme Brinsmead, Bridge Loans, Cairns\nBridge loans are helpful when businesses will need to pay expenses while waiting for long term financing. Imagine a company that's buying a new building, and are looking for a means to settle so they can start refurbishing it prior to exiting out of their existing premises. A bridge loan can be used to pay things like lease, the deposit, and other costs until the construction is ready.\nShort-term bridge loans may be approved very quickly, allowing companies to seal the deal on significant obligations. By way of instance, the loan may cover a part of the deposit on a building while the business waits for their current one to repay or to get a longer long-term financing arrangement could be made.\nBridge loans are also known as interim financing, gap funding or swing loans, and exist to help bridge the gap if a organization's current financing does not satisfy their short-term needs.\nIf a company faces a time before permanent financing can be secured, or an existing obligation is done, a short-term bridge loan may be required. Funding of this sort offers short-term money flow to allow the enterprise to meet their existing obligations. Bridge loans are short-term, of up to one year, and are backed up equity in real estate or other property.\nBridge loans vary from conventional bank loans from the they generally have a faster program, acceptance and funding process. However, this convenience means the loans are usually short term and also have higher interest prices. This is normally acceptable because the debtor needs quick, easy access to funds, and they're eager to pay higher rates of interest in the brief term only because they intend to pay it off fast as soon as they arrange longer term, low interest finance.\nTags: Commercial Finance, Business Loans, Short Term Finance, Business Capital Brinsmead, Brinsmead, Business Funding, Asset Finance, SME, Cairns\nIt's important to comprehend the small company loan procedure. If you understand the total acceptance process and the vital consideration points, and have the required documents completed with all the needed information, you will be well on the way to becoming accepted.\nWhat are Lenders looking for?\nIt all comes down to prep: from getting the loan documents in sequence, to be certain as you talk about your companies potential together with the lending officer, every part of the lending procedure matters. Yes, the lender will do their due diligence and checks, however, the better prepared and introduced your information is, the easier and faster your loan application procedure will be.\nWhat is the future potential of the company? Have you got an innovative idea, or excellent profits from a prior venture? The lender will look at your previous and current details, and variable in the probable potential for a guide towards the future profitability,.\nSmall companies come in a huge variety and often have particular needs, so small business loans are carefully scrutinised on a case-by-case basis to guarantee everything is suitable and applicable. Below are some important tips that can help you procure a Small Business Loan to enlarge your business.\nHow do I improve my chances of getting a Small Business Loan?\nIn Essence:\nThe most important matter to the lender is surety that your will pay back the loan over the mandatory term. This certainty could be shown through things such as the possible profitability of the company, how liquid the company capital is, a minimum of existing debt, a fantastic rate of stock turnover and a strong customer base. These things help assure the lender and boost the likelihood of loan approval. On the other hand, anything that raises questions about such factors may cause the creditor to deny your loan program.\nDo you have a back-up plan? It is worth it to have two repayment plans prepared. That way, when the loan officer has any questions or concerns about the viability of your business or your loan repayment capacities, a second business plan indicates the creditor your business acumen and expertise, and permits the loan program to be cleared easily. The secondary program could include alternative loan repayment programs, or offer some improved security that wasn't presented in the original program.\nRegardless of the dimensions of your enterprise, you may require additional capital during different stages. Small business owners often have limited understanding of the processes and details of loan software, making them struggle. By remembering the above mentioned guidelines and placing proper time and thought into your loan application, you may not only accelerate the loan process and funding, but possibly even get a lower price loan.\nAre you an present business looking to expand? Perchance a plumber wanting to expand into a new area, or an accountant looking to open up a new branch in another town - these are some examples of small businesses that might require capital for business growth, and have specific loan requirements. A pizzeria may want to open a new store in a second location; a clothing shop might need additional space to branch out into designer threads, or a company may want to expand their offerings through e-commerce.\nTags: Small Business Loans, Business Loans Brinsmead, Brinsmead, Income Statement, SME Finance, Sales, Cairns\nThroughout the start of a company, profitability is the main focus. Nevertheless, growth and sales are what is needed to generate that first profit. After a provider moves beyond the startup phase, the owner normally starts to focus more on expansion, and identifying growth opportunities become the next thing of importance beyond profitability. For a company, this implies expansion in some form, developing the business, increasing their market and contributing toward increased profitability. Growth is measurable through analyzing statistics such as overall earnings, number of staff, market share and turnover. Profitability and growth's interrelationship is revealed in that growth is best assessed by looking at the organization's gain and overall earnings.\nEven where a business's recent profitability might be looking good, expansion opportunities should always be investigated. Those opportunities to further grow the firm may offer greater profitability, and helps to keep your company interesting to potential new investors. A successful expansion strategy requires having a good awareness of the organization's present condition -- if the business has weak regions like low performance, revenue or marketability, it's possible that any effort at growth could rather cause the collapse of the business. Therefore, before looking to cultivate your business, it is important to first secure, consolidate and fortify the business as it now stands before attempting to alter it through growth.\nObviously, profitability is critical to any organization's long term survival. Net gain is the revenue after all expenses relating to the manufacturing, production, and sale of those products (or services) has been deducted. Profit is often referred to as 'money in the bank'. It's this profit that's available to be paid out to the organization's owners or shareholders or reinvested back in the corporation. For any business, profit is the principal goal, and it could not survive. If a business does not have investors or fund available, profit might be the only capital available. Where funds and other financial resources are inadequate, the failure of the company is fast approaching. No business can survive for any period of time without adequate profit. Measuring your business's profitability both today and in the future is a critical part of assessing your enterprise.\nYour businesses' income statement is the key - it reveals not only the profitability, but also the related expenses and expenses during the applicable time period (usually a year). The Income Statement is vital in computing your company's sustainability ratio (the quantity of profit generated in comparison to different different metrics - sales, assets, debt and so on). Various distinct sustainability ratios can be calculated to assist in analysing your company's fiscal position over that period of time.\nBoth growth and profitability are significant to whether a business is effective and remains in business. Without , it is going to fail to live or remain appealing to the business's shareholders or owners.\nBusiness success requires both growth and profitability. Gain is the key factor in basic financial survival; expansion is the crucial element in profit and success over the long term.\nTags: Growth, Business Loans Brinsmead, Brinsmead, Small Business, Budgeting, Working Capital, Brinsmead\nA cash flow loan isn't considered a traditional bank loan, as those generally entail more thorough credit analysis of a business. Instead, when deciding the conditions of a cash flow loan, the lender considers the organization's cash flow generation ability.\nWould you want some extra working capital for operations on your business? If this is so, a cash flow loan might be exactly what you need. This type of loan is used to fund working capital in your organization, for example funds for payroll, inventory, rent, and so on. The cash flow loan has been paid back with incoming cash flows to the corporation.\nWhen your company does not have a lengthy credit history or an established track record of adulthood, a cash flow loan could be suited to your requirements. As a result of shorter company history and therefore the need to compensate for a possibly greater repayment risk, a lender will charge a higher rate of interest on a cash flow loan. This is acceptable provided that the gain generated from the loan is adequate to pay the interest, and the loan has been repaid as quickly as possible.\nTags: Business Loans, Cash Flow Loan Brinsmead, Small Business, Budgeting, Working Capital, Brinsmead\nCairns Lending\nKey Points\n- We are actively looking to loan funds to businesses in and around Cairns.\n- Get in touch today.\n- If you need the funds quick, we can do it within 48 hours.\nTags: Small Business Lending, Business Loans Brinsmead, Brinsmead, Business Funding, Finance Broker, Small Business, Queensland\nHelping With Business Loans in Cairns\nand"}

{"text": "Mumbai, Dec 20: On a day when Reliance Industries Ltd informed stock exchanges of a buyback to shore up its share price and infuse confidence in the company, Amitabh Jhunjhunwala, treasurer of RIL and a man perceived to be close to Anil Ambani, resigned from his concurrent posts in RIL and consequently from the board of Reliance Energy Ltd.\nJhunjhunwala declined to comment but Reliance sources confirmed the development.\nJhunjhunwala cited several reasons for his resignation in his communication to RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani, but details were not available.\nHe was among the six directors of Reliance Energy, the power utility managed by Anil Ambani, who had resigned last month. The move was construed as being supportive of the younger Ambani. However, the REL board had asked the directors to continue.\nJhunjhunwala, a chartered accountant, had joined the Reliance group 11 years ago and took over as treasurer of RIL in early 2002. With an experience of about 25 years, Jhunjhunwala had been associated with most of the fund raising activities of the Reliance group both in India and abroad and was responsible for investor-relations.\nSources reveal that the resignation implies that the differences between the two brothers are widening and appear unbridgeable for the moment. It is a prelude to the December 27 board meeting when the two brothers meet face to face for the first time since the tumultuous October 27 board meeting that saw Anil's powers being clipped.\n\"It is apparent now that the battle lines are being drawn by the two camps,\" said a keen observer of the battle between the Ambani brothers.\nThe Reliance buyback announcement is expected to ensure that speculators and operators are reined in and do not capitalise on the spate of negative reports appearing in the media.\nCompanies can buy back shares up to 10 per cent of the paid up capital and free reserves under the provisions of the Companies Act. RIL has a paid-up capital of Rs 1396 crore.\nThe buyback can be from existing shareholders on a proportionate basis or from the open market. The company has to decide on the maximum amount that it will spend on buyback, the price at which it will purchase shares, the method of buyback and the appointment of merchant brokers and stock brokers.\nReliance sources said that in the past few weeks, the shares of RIL have been on a rollercoaster. The prevailing confusion has been created by a sustained campaign of disinformation by vested interests.\nThe unbridgeable differences between the two brothers and kept alive by media reports has triggered the decline in its stock price since November 17, 2004 due to the adverse reporting of \"incorrect and incomplete facts in the media by vested interests,\" Reliance sources said.\nThe RIL scrip has moved down by 12 per cent from Rs 544 to Rs 481 even as the sensex scaled new heights from 6017 to 6403, an increase of 6 per cent during the same period.\n\"This volatile movement is totally inexplicable because nothing has fundamentally altered in its business strategy or operational efficiency or the future outlook of its earnings growth,' RIL sources said.\nMeanwhile, REL has extended its buyback programme, which had started on June 14 this year, by 90 days till March 17. The buyback price has been set at Rs 525 per share."}

With this particular topic, we always hear about the 79AD eruption, and this adds a richness to each presentation.\nThis resource has not yet been reviewed.\nNot Rated Yet.\nOur Terms of Service and Privacy Policies have changed.

{"text": "Mises Wire\nExports: Currency Devaluation Won't Grow the EconomyTags Money and Banking\nA visible weakness in economic activity in major world economies raises concern among various commentators that world economies have difficulties recovering despite very aggressive loose monetary policies. The yearly growth rate of US industrial production stood at minus 1.1 % in October, against minus 0.1% in September, and 4.1% in October last year. In the euro zone, the yearly growth rate of production stood at minus 1.7% in September versus minus 2.8% in the month before and 0.6% in September 2018. In addition, in China the growth momentum of industrial production remains under downward pressure with the annual growth rate declining to 4.7% in October from 5.8% in September and 5.9% in September the year before.\nSome commentators are of the view that what could help is a depreciation in the US dollar. For instance, the price of the euro in US$ terms after closing at 1.58 in March 2008, closed at 1.12 by October 2019. That's US$ appreciation of 29.1% against the Euro. According to popular thinking, the key to economic growth is demand for goods and services. It is held that increases or decreases in demand for goods and services are behind rises and declines in the economy’s production of goods. Hence, in order to keep the economy going, policymakers demand. Hence, exports, according to this way of thinking, are a factor that contributes to economic growth while imports are a factor that detracts from the growth of the economy.\nFrom this way of thinking, it follows that since overseas demand for a country’s goods and services is an important ingredient in setting the pace of economic growth, it makes a lot of sense to make locally produced goods and services attractive to foreigners.\nOne of the ways to strengthen foreigners demand for domestically produced goods is by making the prices of these goods more attractive.\nBased on this,.\nWhy Boosting Exports through Currency Depreciation Cannot Cause Economic Growth\nWhen a central bank announces a loosening in its monetary stance, this leads to a quick response by participants in the foreign exchange market — through selling the domestic currency in favour, because of currency depreciation, in fact amounts to economic impoverishment.\nThe improved competitiveness means that the citizens of a country are now getting less real imports for a given amount of real exports. While the country is getting rich in terms of foreign currency, it is getting poor in terms of real wealth (i.e., in terms of the goods and services required for maintaining people’s life and well-being)..1 consequently falling prices and declining production costs, local producers can improve their profitability and their competitiveness in overseas markets while the currency is actually appreciating.\nAny tampering with the currency rate of exchange can only make things much worse as far as the allocation of scarce resources is concerned.\nNote: The views expressed on Mises.org are not necessarily those of the Mises Institute.\nWhen commenting, please post a concise, civil, and informative comment.

{"text": "The Insight Subluxation Station was developed by the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance (CLA) and certified by the Space Foundation in order to provide a reliable, valid, and effective tool to assess the function of the nervous system and its ability to adapt. The Insight uses a combination of tools such as thermal scanning, sEMG, and a pulse wave profiler to provide a detailed representation of the way your nervous system is functioning.\nThe following information will breakdown the purposes of each tool utilized within the Insight Subluxation Station:\n- Thermal scanning is used to assess temperature variability along the spine. Temperature is used as an indicator for where stress is building up in your body and how it may be affecting the function of your organs, glands, and blood vessels.\n- sEMG (surface EMG) is used to assess the function of the muscles directly related to the movement of your spine via the nerves that run through them. This test focuses on assessing the amount of energy needed to maintain your posture, as well as how the energy is distributed throughout your body.\n- The Pulse Wave Profiler (or Heart Rate Variability) is used to assess your ability to adapt to the environment around you. For example, is your body caught in “fight or flight” due to emotional stressors, poor diet choices, or improper exercise routine? Or is your body better able to adapt? With this tool we are able to take a deeper look at how well your body is functioning.\nTogether, the three tools formulate your COREscore. The COREscore rates the overall stress on your nervous system, and provides a simple measure in the form of a number ranging between 0-100. The higher the number reported, the better!\nDigital X-Rays may also be taken outside of our office to allow Dr. Tom to get a detailed look at your spine’s structure and condition!"}

{"text": "I thriving because of the entire process. I don’t want the book to be solely about me though. To keep this from happening, I feel it is important to include the stories of other survivor/thrivors of major illness in this book. I reached out to others who have come out thriving, and I interviewed them. This week, I started listening to the interview recordings and I want to tell you about some of these amazing people.\nThe interviews are layered with the trauma of each person’s illness and the positive attitude and fighter spirits that led them out of the major-illness abyss. These are survivors, many years out from standing on the edge of death. Their journey could have gone either way. For each, their post-illness life is very different from their pre-illness life on many levels. The same is true for me.\nSurviving and Thriving\nThese stories are guides for us all. People like Lauren Chiarello of ChiChi Life in New York City who survived Hodgkin’s Lymphoma – twice! Heidi Bright who was not expected to live out the year when she was first diagnosed with an extremely rare terminal uterine sarcoma, and Samantha Markovitz who was diagnosed with ‘juvenile’ type 1 diabetes as an adult. She was taken to the local emergency room, near her death. Ketoacidotic coma in adulthood was her first presenting sign of this typically childhood disease. Her story is amazing.\nThese are vibrant survivors full of life and thriving in ways they never expected before they were ill. Listening to their recordings, I hear stories layered with ‘The Path’. There is so much to learn from these heros.\nI’m mapping out The Path in this book. I want it out and available soon. I realize there is some urgency to the task, because I’m contacted regularly by people who have been newly diagnosed with a horrible illness. They have heard I’ve traversed The Path from gravely ill to surviving and thriving and they urgently want – and need – my advice. It’s in this book, our book, and I am going to finish it this month. I plan to get a prospectus done that I can send out to agents. Then I’m crossing my fingers for help on the next phase of actual publication. We’ll see how this next step goes.\nFor more information, please see these related posts:\n- Breast Cancer Awareness Month Hits Home for Me in 2013\n- Breast Cancer Journey – Today I Cried Tears of Joy!\n- Dermatologist’s Advice for the Best Skin Care during Chemotherapy\n- Can You Get a Facial and Makeover on Chemotherapy?

{"text": "This is probably going to be the most difficult (and longest) thing i choose to write about, but nevertheless here it is. I won’t make it too personal, as I think this is a personal topic, but I am completely open to talking about this to a certain extent. I find it really difficult to speak about in person, but a bit easier to write about. So here goes.\nWhat is it actually like to have OCD? I can tell you that even though it’s seen as one of the smallest things to majority, it is one of the largest things in the mind of a person who suffers with OCD.\nAs someone who struggles with OCD, it is really irritating and degrading when people throw the term about willy-nilly.. just to point out, OCD is actually a disorder, not just a word to throw about because you “hate mess” or “love cleaning”, there is surprisingly a LOT more to it than people think. So next time you throw the term about because of your undesired love for making your bed or being organised, research the term and take into consideration people who suffer with it to the extent that everyday is a struggle for them (i luckily don’t have it as severe as that).\nSo just to clarify..obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviors that make them feel driven to do something (compulsions).\nI think my struggle with OCD started when I was young, I at the time didn’t think it was OCD. I remember the first insight, it was when i purposely used to make people repeat themselves, even though i could hear them the first 3 times, but for some reason it was just satisfying to hear it said for like the seventh time, but being completely oblivious to OCD at a young age, I assumed i was just an irritating child with a habit. This was just a minor thing, but then it progressed when I was older to time consuming things. As soon I would be left home alone, I used to do 3 laps around the house checking every single door was locked at least 8 times, although my “lucky” number eventually turned to 12 and I would be pulling the handle up and down 12 times before i was completely reassured it was locked. Although having OCD and having intrusive thoughts i would still constantly have a bad feeling like someone would break in and take me or something bad would happen. It was the same with lighting candles, I couldn’t light them if i was home alone and upstairs because it was engraved into my head that my house would burn down and i would die in it. These again are just little things, but they all contribute to OCD.\nThere’s also the problem with touching things, compulsions. I’m not sure why but every morning and night and throughout the day there are certain objects i have to touch a certain amount of times, usually I would have to touch it in multiples of five because multiples of 5 satisfied me, and if i didn’t touch these objects i had it in my mind that my day wouldn’t go right, and that whatever i was doing i would always have it in the back of my head that i didn’t touch it. Now as you can imagine that is pretty fucking annoying. And then on top of that the usual annoyances, TV numbers on rounded numbers (25, 30, 35…), flicking lightswitches all the time, slamming doors, you name it. It’s a complete pain in the ass! But i’ll get there.\nI won’t name them all OR go in to detail about all of them because…\n- I’d be here for days, and would probably unintentionally end up writing a novel.\n- a lot of them are personal and hard to come to terms with.\nI also can’t sleep under my duvet, which is probably extremely weird! And i have no idea where that one came from, it’s only been for the last couple of years- but i always sleep on top of my made duvet with a fleece on top of me, I’m not sure why but It’s really weird sleeping under a duvet for me, it’s not my “routine”. The most difficult thing about OCD is breaking out of “routine”.\nMost time consuming of all is getting ready to go to bed. I do everything as normal, wash my face, brush my teeth… just like a “normal” persons routine, and then before i set my alarm i have to clear absolutely everything off my phone..\nDelete all texts, unnecessary pictures, phone log, ALL social media search histories, browsing histories, social media messages, everything. And then i repeat that probably at least 3 times, It’s really annoying how time consuming this is, but it’s one of my hardest “habits”- which by the way aren’t habits, but are “compulsions” yet to break. But everything gets easier with time and support.\nLuckily my friends and family are there to support me, and a lot of them are understanding. But you do still get the odd few idiots who don’t know anything about OCD, and just slate you for being repetitive and weird.\nI could go on for ages, but at least now you’ll have gotten the just about what it’s like. If you have any questions I’d love to answer! 🙂\nP.s. Sorry for the length, it seemed more of a rant than informative piece but it’s nice to share something a bit more personal!\nThank you.\nEl x\n2 thoughts on “What’s it like to have OCD?”\nBrilliant explanation and insight to OCD. You really totally right explaining it is personal and for people who suffer with it has different traits and levels.\nLikeLiked by 1 person\nThis is the first time in may have come across such a thoughtful and insight driven post on OCD.\nLikeLiked by 1 person"}

{"text": "[Album Review] Wednesday 13's 'Necrophaze' Is A Killer Treat With Plenty Of Tricks\nWednesday 13 is back, and decomposition is his addiction. The Duke of Spook is roaring back with a brand new disc, entitled Necrophaze. Chock-full of bloody things, chugging rhythms, and a few special guests, it is a must-have record for horror fans, as it is a testament to the lasting power of the legendary Wednesday 13.\nThe title track features guest vocal unease from the one and only Alice Cooper. The saying \"Decomposition is my addiction\" needs to be on a T-shirt already, and could have just as easily been the tagline for the album as a whole. The deep spoken parts by Alice add a decidedly creepy tone to kick off the album proper.\n\"Bring Your Own Blood\" is to Wednesday 13 what \"Foxy Foxy\" was to Rob Zombie. It is the party track, the \"fuck it, let's have a good night\" song that picks up the energy and is instantly catchy. The hi-hat patterns in the verses add a bit of nuance to an otherwise four-on-the-floor groove. It may be stopping short to call this song fun, but damn it, it's a fun track.\n\"ZODIAC\" is a heavy, triplet-filled track that comes in heavy-handed in the best ways. This leads to a more dubious track for me, \"Monster,\" featuring guest vocals from Lacuna Coil’s Cristina Scabbia. I absolutely love LC, and Cristina Scabbia has been a huge influence on my art and my drag, but I don’t know how well her voice really works with in the wicked world of Wednesday. It pains me to say that I wasn’t terribly fond of this track, and while I don’t outright reject it, I can’t let it off the hook entirely.\n\"Decompose\" comes rallying back with that quintessential Wednesday sound, with an instantly catchy chorus that begs to be sung along to. A narrative interlude called \"Be Warned,\" featuring the voice of Jeff Clayton, the brutish \"The Hearse\" barrels through with machine gun double bass, something I’m not used to hearing in much of any of W13’s catalog. The double bass patterns continue through \"Tie Me a Noose,\" with its unnerving guitar parts and overall creepy sound.\n\"Life Will Kill Us All\" certainly has some fun riffs, but the album hits a high point with \"Bury the Hatchet,\" with its horror-punk stylings and stand on the gas pedal tempo. After an end credits track, we get a treat in a cover of WASP’s \"Animal (Fuck Like a Beast),\" with some help from Children of Bodom’s Wildchild himself, Alexi Laiho. Hearing the song, even setting Laiho’s contribution aside, makes me wonder why Wednesday hadn’t covered this track sooner. It’s over the top, vulgar, and about as rock and roll as one can get.\nSonically speaking, this is some of the best music that the Wednesday 13 name has been attached to. It’s a fun ride through hellscapes and haunted graveyards, with nary a drop of blood left unspilled. The Duke of Spook has done it again with Necrophaze, and we will be sure to bring our own blood when we arrive on the scene.\nNecrophaze is available now via Nuclear Blast Records.\n#WEDNESDAY13 #NECROPHAZE #NUCLEARBLAST"}

Sadly complementary treatments aren’t usually funded by the NHS or by large pharmacological companies and supported by their financing. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough research on acupuncture, or of “the right sort” just yet. There is no clear evidence to prove for sure (or of course disprove) its effectiveness. However, we are firm believers that acupuncture really can work. We believe that acupuncture is best when it is part of a combined medical and complementary approach. There are many reasons for the success we have had at the Hatfield Practice. We feel our personable approach, attention to detail and combining medical science with acupuncture contributes to our levels of success.\nAcupuncture can be used safely alongside IVF\nMuch more research is needed, the use of traditional acupuncture for fertility has successfully helped thousands of couples conceive.

Helen successfully helped to establish The Welwyn & Hatfield Practice in the nineties with her husband Ian who works alongside Helen as an Osteopath.

Generally, people arrive with specific questions and answers they know their stuff. We aim to do our best to help and will go the extra mile to do so.

We will be there for you 100% of the way.\nIndividual, personal care and support\nAcupuncture at The Hatfield Practice helps to support your overall health and emotional well being. It makes sense to us that if your bodily systems are working.\nAcupuncture has been used for centuries\nFertility Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine which involves placing very fine needles gently into the skin. Specific and different points are used to stimulate the flow of Qi (pronounced “Chee”). Qi is a description of “lifeforce” the body’s innate living energy. Acupuncture has been used for centuries to balance energy and treat fertility problems in both men and women. There is a body of evidence to support acupuncture for fertility. Up to now, evidence suggests that acupuncture balances organ systems increase blood flow, balances the autonomic nervous system, stimulates endorphins to ease stress and increases hormones thereby normalising blood supply to the reproductive system. Ultrasound studies have shown that Acupuncture “normalises” blood flow to the womb and fallopian tubes possibly improving the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy. It also helps to reduce cortisol levels (stress hormones) which may have a detrimental effect on the body’s ability to conceive or hold onto a pregnancy."}

{"text": "While the real estate industry has seen an upturn in the last few months, spring is always a hot selling season and gradual market recovery is expected, home sellers are still troubled by low appraisals.\nWhat Is a Home Appraisal?\nWhen you're buying a house or condo and find the perfect one, you make an offer to buy it. If accepted, you're \"under contract.\"\nThis doesn't mean the transaction is over and you can sign on the dotted line and claim your new keys if you're buying or claim the closing check as the seller. Many things can still get in the way of closing. One is an appraisal of the property.\nThe mortgage lender needs to confirm the property is worth enough as collateral for the buyer's loan. The appraisal is based on comparable properties or \"comps\" to make sure the price is in line. Appraisals are used for other home loan types, such as refinancings or home equity loans, too.\nHow Do the Recent Foreclosures Affect Appraisals?\nAcross the US, both real estate agents and homebuilders are complaining about low appraisals. The National Association of Realtors said that 25 percent of its members have reported clients losing a sale due to low appraisals. The National Association of Home Builders agreed, saying low appraisals were sinking a quarter of all new home sales.\nForeclosure and short sales account for upwards of 40 percent of recent sales. These distressed sales work to lower appraisals in several ways. For example, empty foreclosed homes, with upkeep falling by the wayside, can hurt an area's value, yet buyers may be drawn to the perceived bargain price of such properties. And, these conditions mean high inventory in many areas, so there's pressure for competitive prices.\nWhile a foreclosure shouldn't be compared to a standard sale, more and more appraisers are considering these lower values when appraising homes. That means if you're trying to sell your home in a neighborhood where there are many foreclosures and short sales, an appraiser could determine your home is actually worth less than what some buyers may be willing to pay.\nFinally, there are changes in lending rules and regulations affecting appraisals. Everything from selection of the appraiser and how the appraisal is created are impacted.\nAction Plan if Your Appraisal Comes in Low\nLow appraisals present problems for both buyers and sellers, and everyone wants the same thing - to close the sale. Once there's a sales contract, everyone feels invested and wants to close, but the appraisal could be a deal breaker. Look to your real estate agent or broker, along with your real estate attorney, when trying to make your sale work. Here are possible strategies:\n- Challenge the appraisal. Your agent or broker can provide crucial help - did the appraiser know the local area? Were the comps used appropriate? Was information on your property correct?\n- Order a second appraisal. Will the lender accept an alternate appraisal? If so, no matter who ends up paying for it, the cost and effort may be well worth it\n- Change the contract's financing terms, and work with the terms offered by the lender. The sale may fall apart at this point, but your real estate attorney can help you work through options including lowering the sales price or having the buyer add cash to the down payment. Other strategies could be to rework contract terms to cut out cash back to the buyer or other forms of seller assistance that were built into the original sales price. Take those terms out, and the lower sales price may be more in line with the appraisal, and clear the way for the loan.\nThe economy and financing conditions may mean your next real estate transaction differs from past experiences. Pricing, market time, negotiations and factors such as the appraisal process may look much different. Even terms and costs for attorney and real estate professionals may be different in today's real estate climate. For example, some attorneys may have changed their fee structures, given complexities and added work needed for some sales types, such as with short sales or foreclosed lender-owned homes.\nBe informed, know your options and how to get help, and make it through your closing.\nQuestions for Your Attorney\n- As a buyer, I think my price was fair, and even a bargain. Can I challenge or appeal a low appraisal, or does it mean my sale won't close? Is my only option to bring more money to the table?\n- Since the appraisal came back low, can contract terms be changed to make the deal go through?\n- I won't budge on my price, and my buyer won't bring extra money to the table to make up for the low appraisal. How quickly can I get out of my contract and get my house back out on the market?"}

{"text": "According to the New England Journal of Medicine, COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by BioNTech is 92.6 percent effective after just one doses.\nThe results from the lab trial have significant implications. Thanks to a highly protective first dose, it strongly suggests that countries are able to safely delay giving out second doses to ensure that first responders, health practitioners, and those in higher age groups are able to get,” the letter reads.\nThat’s especially relevant given that vaccines have been in short supply, causing countries around the world to delay vaccination efforts.\nA separate report, also published in the New England Journal, suggests that the Pfizer vaccine is effective against new coronavirus variants, including the deadly South African variant B1351.\nThat’s great news, as previous reports suggested that the variant managed to escape protection from several vaccines, most notably the one produced by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca. A recent trial suggests that the Oxford vaccine only offers as little as ten percent protection against the South African variant.\nA third, separately published letter in the same journal, suggested that the vaccine manufactured by Moderna also is effective against the new variants, including B1351.\nExperts, however, [commas help this breathe] noted that blood samples managed to produce less neutralizing antibody activity when tested against the South African variant. Luckily, this reduction was still enough to neutralize the virus, according to the letters.\nThe findings are even more evidence that mRNA-based vaccines such as the ones manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna are able to take on new highly transmissible and sometimes deadly variants of the coronavirus.\nDespite their newly found efficacy, getting even a single dose in the arms of every American will remain to be a massive challenge. The faster we can act, the better a shot we have at pushing back against the pandemic."}

{"text": "Becoming a Global Citizen\nThe opportunity to live a life as a global citizen is one that is appealing to many people. It involves a life of adventure and new experiences. If deciding to become a global citizen, it is important to understand what it takes to successfully take on the opportunity in which you are given and facilitate the transition period. Let’s dive into what it means to be a global citizen.\nHealth considerations\nAs many concerns arise about making the decision to become a global citizen, health considerations are likely to be at the top of your priorities before moving. Taking care of your health while living abroad will be one of the most important and crucial steps to ensure a successful and blissful lifestyle.\nGlobal health insurance is highly recommended for anyone living or travelling abroad. The advantages of global health insurance go far beyond basic medical care. It will alleviate any added stress or concerns about medical coverage while travelling abroad, as well as facilitated payments, coverage regions and standard of care.\nAt Expat Financial, we offer plans from basic in-hospital plans to in-hospital and out-patient plans. We are able to provide various plans from several different insurance companies in order to find the right fit. Contact us today by email at info@tfgglobal.com or click here for a free online quote.\nCulture adaptations\nDepending on where your global adventures take you, there is a high chance that you will be relocated to a country that will likely lead to a degree of culture shock. The important thing here is to stay as open-minded as possible. Locals will gladly teach you their culture and welcome you into their country, as long as you are willing to immerse yourself in the community.\nA useful type for overcoming culture shock is to learn the local language as well as possible. This will allow you to engage with more locals and feel less alienated when exploring and appreciated the new city in which you call home.\nLocation is key\nWhen it comes to choosing where you want to relocate, there are many different considerations to remember. First, it will be important to understand the local culture and what it will mean to connect with the locals as an expatriate.\nA second aspect that is very important will be to find an area that has low crime rates for your safety – whether that is choosing, in general, a safe city or specifically a safe neighborhood. Explore our region & city guides to discover which regions are the best fit for you!\nA third factor that is important in choosing a location will be to know what the tax policies are for your incoming country. Many countries have different ways in which they tax their local employees, and as an expatriate living abroad, it will be very important to know the local taxation policies.\nGet involved in local politics and policies.\nAs important as it is to immerse yourself in a local community, it will be equally as important to immerse yourself in the local politics and policies that are relevant to your new home. Knowledge of local politics will help you understand a multitude of important factors, such as taxation, governance, community values and elections, as these will all be crucial in your development in the community.\nIt is important to note that it is not recommended to get involved in politics in all countries, and it is important to research beforehand and look into political stability before diving into local politics, especially if you are not a citizen of your new country. Getting involved in politics as an expat in many countries, especially ones with little or no human rights protections, can be very dangerous.\nApart from local politics and policies, we also recommend having a general understanding of global politics, specifically with countries that directly affect your new city. This will allow you to stay aware of external factors and policies that may alter the way in which you engage with your community.\nKeeping in touch\nLastly, after making the decision to become a global citizen, it will still be important to stay connected with your roots back in your home country. This can come with many challenges, including adjusting to time zones, whether or not you are in a Wi-Fi efficient zone or keeping this priority top of mind. It is important to keep in touch with members back in your home country in order to maintain and facilitate the transition, as well as keeping in touch with your own mental health."}

{"text": "According to the Commonwealth Fund, the developed countries that have the best health care systems are Australia, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The United States has the highest health care spending among its peers.\nThe World Health Organization also ranked the U.S. 37th out of 191 countries in terms of health care in its first analysis of health care systems worldwide. The country has the lowest life expectancy at 78.6 years — two years lower than the average of wealthy nations. It also has the highest suicide rate among Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries.\nOver a quarter of all American adults reported that they have been diagnosed with chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes, or other cardiovascular illnesses. The proportion is two times higher than the rates in the Netherlands and the UK.\nHere are the reasons the U.S. is the lowest performer among high-income countries when it comes to health care.\nNo universal health care\nUniversal health care, according to the WHO, is a system that ensures that everyone can get accessible, efficient and fairly financed health care. Unfortunately, the U.S. is the only rich country that has not implemented a universal health care system.\nExpensive health care\nIn 2018, an average American spent a whopping $1,122 for visits to doctors, prescription medicines or insurance deductibles. Cancer patients must pay thousands of dollars for their medication. On top of the rising cost of insurance and inaccessibility, expensive medical care discourages Americans from seeking proper medical treatment.\nWith more citizens wanting affordable and comprehensive health care, there is a growing demand for medical franchise opportunities in the country.\nLack of insurance coverage\nOver 27 million people in the U.S. did not have health coverage in 2018 mainly because they cannot afford the high cost of insurance. Most of the uninsured residents are from low-income households. Other reasons many people are uninsured include the limited availability of coverage plan in the state where they live or the truth that they are undocumented immigrants.\nStudies show that people without insurance coverage are less likely to receive care and services for serious health conditions and chronic illnesses than insured individuals.\nFewer doctors\nU.S. citizens visit doctors less frequently than their international peers. An average American visits a physician four times annually — half the rates as the Dutch and Germans. Fewer physician visits may be related to the thin supply of doctors in the U.S. The Association of American Medical Colleges predicts that the country will see a shortage of up to 122,000 doctors in only 12 years.\nThe major driver for the growing demand for physicians is the country’s aging population.\nThe health care system in the United States is the most expensive across the globe, but its citizens have unhealthier and shorter lives than the residents of other wealthy nations.\nIn order to alleviate the problem, the government must strengthen access to timely and high-quality health care and reduce the costs of physician visits, treatments, and other services. The country’s dismal performance also calls for better management to address risk factors."}

{"text": "The iPad Mini is incredibly popular right now. So popular, in fact, that it’s turning the iPad into something of an endangered species.\nHow badly is the iPad getting its shapely aluminum butt kicked? It’s being outsold nearly two to one:.\nApparently the iPad Mini, despite being nothing more than a cut down iPad 2, is beloved for its relatively cheap price, starting at $330, and its small size.\nIt’s really less than surprising once you consider the market. The iPad 2 is relatively underpowered compared to other tablets of a similar size on the market, but for playing simple games, checking email and watching Netflix, it’s got plenty of horsepower. It’s also lighter and easier to tuck into a bag or briefcase, making it pretty popular with people who want it for casual use or as a status symbol.\nIt’s especially interesting because the iPad Mini was just supposed to be a stopgap until Apple could roll out a better tablet, rumored to be coming in the fall. Now the “real” iPad Mini is essentially going to be the flagship product of the entire line. Hey, as long as it keeps selling: It’s not like Apple’s stock price is grounded in reality anyway.\nOne of the main reasons I bought a Nexus 7 was due to its size. small enough to hold in one hand while reading and large enough for text to still be clear. Full sized iPads actually look cumbersome when I see people on planes using them. Apple should continue questioning the mandates from Jobs and keep listening to their customers and markets.\nIt is all about the screen for me. Wont even consider an iPad Mini until the screen is better.\nAlso Digitimes would be lucky to get 50% of what they report as actually being right.\nDigitimes has a spotty record, it’s true.\nAll depends on what your priorities are. I don’t find the iPad’s screen cumbersome at all, and for me it’s better for both writing and enjoying entertainment (shout-out to the Marvel Unlimited app).\nI work for an AT&T Authorized Retailer and can tell you that we haven’t sold an iPad in months, but we’ve been moving lots of Minis.\nThat’s… very interesting. Apple can NOT be happy.\nFor years I never “got” the iPad. It was too large and unwieldy to me.\nThe mini, comparably, is just easier to use, typing in particular. It’ll be interesting to see how this factors in to their new upcoming product line.\nYeah, the Nexus 7 is ideal for casual browsing and comic books for me.\nThere’s actually a seven-inch tablet with a phone in it. It’s… silly.\nI use my Nexus 7 primarily for casual browsing, games, and reading comics. The larger screen helps with all three. It also has a better sound system, so when I stream music over WiFi, I tend to do that.\nI’d wager that 75% of people who buy an iPad Mini already have a full size iPad 2 or iPad 3 in their lives.\nMy (unsupported) theory:\nPeople have tablets, thus the only real reason to buy a new table is that it is markedly different, or your old tablet has failed. I know a lot of people who have both the iPad and Mini. Their iPad is older because there has been no reason to upgrade and the mini is recent because its new.\nAfter mini sales level off, which could take a couple years, I expect the two will sell almost equally.\nPersonally, I prefer the normal iPad. Mostly because of games and watching netflix/HBO GO in bed."}

{"text": "Tracking Employees Hours by Using a Bi-Weekly Timesheet in Excel\nIf you are a business owner, you will understand the importance of tracking your employee’s working hours to make sure that they aren’t underpaid and they get the proper compensation in salary-wise for all the work hours that they have put in for the company. Many organizations and companies are investing in an online timesheet that can be accessed remotely from anywhere. Although, if you want to use that kind of timesheet, you will have to fork out an extra budget. If you want a free version, you can use the bi-weekly timesheet in Excel for employees that are having their salary paid fortnightly.\nSample Employee Bi-Weekly Timesheet\nFor start-up businesses, since they have fewer numbers of employees, using the Excel version of a timesheet for the bi-weekly salary can be enough. It is not necessary yet to use paid programs with small numbers of employees. They could save up so much just by using the templates that are already available in Excel and modifying them to suit their needs and preferences. The bi-weekly timesheet in Excel is straightforward, where you will see the company name that can be edited on the top of the page along with the company information (address, phone number, city, zip, fax number, etc.).\nA bi-weekly timesheet template that you can find in Excel will be able to track all the employees’ working hours, overtime, annual leave, sick leave days, and vacation days to make sure that their working hours are correct. This will affect the bi-weekly payroll that the finance department needs to manage. Other than that, if the company is still using timecards to log their employees’ work hours, the bi-weekly timecards will be able to help the finance department in tracking their working hours as well. Since not all companies pay their employees monthly, for the ones that are doing a fortnightly salary base, it can be considered as a semi-monthly payment or salary structure.\nSamples of Bi-Weekly Timesheet\nexcel bi weekly timesheet template example\nexample of excel bi weekly timesheet template\nsample of excel bi weekly timesheet template\nexcel bi weekly timesheet template sample\nHow to Create a Bi-Weekly Timesheet in Excel by Using a Blank Template\nIf you have never created this type of timesheet before, there are many examples and free templates that you can find online. Other than that, you will also be able to find some templates available in Microsoft Excel. You will be able to modify the template to suit the company’s needs especially if you want to slightly change the design when advised by the management team. You will be able to see clearly in the attendance sheet for all the employees if they get into work late, taking a personal leave (day-off) for personal reasons, taking a sick leave day, and many more.\nAll the data and working hours that you input in the Excel sheet will be calculated manually with the formula that is already set in it. Most of the template available in Microsoft Excel has already been set by formulas so you don’t have to count all the hours manually anymore. This will also minimalize miscalculations that might happen while counting your employee’s salary. Tracking the working hours of your employees is never easier! If you are interested in creating a bi-weekly timesheet by using a free template, you can download one at the bottom of this page.\nBi Weekly Timesheet Template – Excel"}

{"text": "Garfish\nIt's strange, people don't walk around zoos saying \"ooh, panda, that's delicious\" but I see to think it's a perfectly valid response at the aquarium.\nWe had our first encounter with Jewfish at Manly. Yep, Bri and I did a double take on the name too. Turns out they're members of the grouper family and Jewfish is a catch-all name for a number of fish round here. The name's not considered derogatory in Oz and you'll also hear them called Jewies. In Florida, where they are a protected species, they're known as the Goliath Grouper. They can grow up to seven feet long, eat anything that gets in their way and were living quite merrily with Manly's nurse sharks.\nThey are also quite delicious as we discovered at Garfish, in Kirribilli, that night. I really quite liked this restaurant. More seats outside than in, a large selection of fish where you choose the method of cooking and the garnish and a good selection of wine by the glass. They say that their aim is \"our fish, the way you wish\" although our waitress was keen to tell us that that certain fishes respond better to different cooking methods. There were several fish that we'd never heard of, like the Blue Eyed Trevalla (bad deep fried it turns out) and the Leather Jacket. The fishes provenance was next to the name on the menu, so it was really easy to choose local fish and not add too many food miles to the bill. Bri went for the Wild Jewfish (he couldn't not, really) with soft polenta, roasted tomato and asparagus as his garnish, while I chose Ocean Trout with a pistachio, orange and plum salad. The trout came very rare and the salad lacked a bit of zing. The plum dressing was just a tad too sweet and some chili would have been a nice contrast to the rich, sweet fish. The Jewfish was excellent though; a good, thick slab with the skin griddled until crisp on a creamy bed of polenta. It's rare I get dish envy when I'm with Brian, but he totally won this time.\nI drank a really amazing Tasmanian pinot grigio and am really looking forward to learning more about ANZ wine. We just got a flat today, so once we're settled I can start all of the courses, learning and cooking I've been planning for so long!\nGarfish Restaurant,\n2/21 Broughton Street\nKirrilbilli\n9922 4322\nBranches also at Manly and Crow's Nest.\nLabels: dining out, garfish, sydney\n1 Comments:\nVery cool. The red rockcod is actually a scorpion fish (most likely Scorpaena cardinalis. Very closely related to the french rascasse. Since you can also get gurnard, monkfish, red mullet, stargazer, john dory, wrasse etc, you are in one of the few locations in the world where you could produce a hardway decent Bouillabaisse!"}

{"text": "Spielberg sees Kubrick’s vision\nPublished June 29, 2001\nA.I.\nDirected by Steven Spielberg\n(Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, Frances O’Connor, Sam Robards)\nRated: PG13\nA.I. is an experience that presents an original vision with reserved imagination and sincerity. Its story, loosely based on Brian Aldiss’ short story Super-Toys Last All Summer Long and Pinocchio, opens ones eyes to questions about life and love forgotten since childhood. It is a film not made for mindless consumption, but for thoughtful contemplation by the masses.\nBehind the final product is a most unusual collaboration. Stanley Kubrick, known for abandoning the viewer in his methodical style of storytelling, and Steven Spielberg, the box office champion of big budget spectacles, both contribute to this engrossing vision.\nFor 15 years Kubrick researched and developed the film. When the director passed in 1999, Spielberg took the reins and wrote the screenplay. Film enthusiasts have debated which style Spielberg would adopt for this challenging film. Astonishingly, he manages both.\nA.I. has three chapters. In the first, David (Haley Joel Osment), a mechanical boy on the cutting edge of robotics, is created to help Henry (Sam Robards) and Monica (Frances O’Connor) through the loss of their son Martin (Jake Thomas), who is cryogenically frozen until a cure for his disease is discovered. Initially, Monica can not love a robot. Then, slowly, David works his way into Monica’s heart. As he morphs from awkward coldness to needy boy and says loving words humans long for, he truly becomes Monica’s son, healing her broken heart.\nWhen a cure is found for their son, Martin returns home and tensions arise between the boys, creating a series of misunderstandings that force Monica to send David away.\nThe second chapter finds David alone, meeting Gigolo Joe (Jude Law), a sexbot, designed to give women pleasure. Together they escape a robot-killing circus and head for Rouge City, in search of Pinocchio’s “blue fairy.” David, having heard the fairy tale, is sure the magical fairy can grant the same powers to him, allowing him to return to Monica as a real boy. Ultimately, David is forced to face the truth of his existence and the futility of his dream.\nThis story is only a shell for far greater questions. Similar to Pinocchio, A.I.‘s emotions derive from universal themes of the pains from the need for reality and acceptance.\nSpielberg has crafted a film that does not cater to the viewer, and yet respects Kubrick’s style in demanding further exploration. What makes anyone, human or robot, real? What is love? Where does it come from? Is human love real or a programmed response? How far can and should science go?\nThese questions are not easily explored, nor does Spielberg deliver a neatly wrapped package. He allows A.I. to develop free of forced interpretation, lets images sink in and permits the soul searching to begin.\nThe final sequence stays true to A.I.‘s message. While Spielberg allows his child-like wonder to surface, the film’s intensity is not abandoned. Rather, by shifting tones and allowing David one last chance to test the extent of his “emotions,” A.I. continues to obscure conclusions.\nSome will insist it proves love triumphs above all. Others will say it proves David’s love is artificial; something foolishly obsessed over and clung to. In either case, this last tonal shift does not end the story but, in true Kubrick fashion, opens the door of possibilities.\n–Steven Snyder"}

The best owners take it much further by becoming the face of their franchise, engaging their fans, getting involved in the community, unearthing inventive ways to generate revenue, then putting that extra revenue back into their team. But you don't necessarily have to do that. You can just sit back, hire mediocre employees and pay for just enough stuff to stay afloat.\nby e0y2e3 » Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:30 pm\nby Madre Hill, Superstar » Tue Apr 26, 2011 1:20 pm\ne0y2e3 wrote:Yes I certainly got the the NBA is dead, most of America hates it and there is no way massive revenue sharing, a cut-back on contracts/lengths and a franchise tag could fix it.Nope.\nLastly let’s not forget that in Simmons continuing laziness as recently as a few weeks ago he was blaming the city of Sacramento for the potential move (which is 100% off-base).

New Orleans landed Chris Paul only because Atlanta screwed up and took Marvin Williams, who's being used as the guy who holds back Zaza Pachulia in all of Zaza's pseudo-altercations. Oklahoma City needed pingpong help to land the second pick of the 2007 draft and needed Portland to pass on Durant. Milwaukee? It landed the No. 1 overall pick of the 2005 draft (Andrew Bogut) one year after Dwight Howard and two years after LeBron James. Bad luck. You get only a couple of home run chances per decade as a small-market team. The odds are against you.Problem No. 4: It's really, really difficult to persuade a franchise player, or even a perennial All-Star, to remain in a small market unless you're winning 60-plus games every year. NBA players like sunshine, big cities and tax-free states. If a franchise can't offer one of the three carrots, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy -- like the girl who joins \"The Real World\" and claims she's going to keep a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend of six years. You know she will hook up with a roommate; you know the boyfriend will come visit and play pool with that roommate; and you know she will dump him at the end of the weekend. It's just the way the show works. Same for LeBron leaving Cleveland. The current free-agency system doesn't give smaller markets any advantage to help them keep their best players. Superstars such as Chris Paul ultimately will play wherever they want. Lesser stars such as Danny Granger will stick around, but only if you overpay them and destroy your cap. You're screwed either way.\nby jb » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:35 am\nOrenthal wrote:b4 my time (was 8 when they went to NBC), but how great is that..

{"text": "Four men are charged in federal court for selling home-brewed hair-growth drugs online.\nTwo men from Whittier, Calif., are accused of making and selling the drugs, and two men from Orem are accused of taking over the operation after the California men pulled the product off market amid a government investigation, according to the indictment.\nRichard Lee and James Dorius, of California, and Min Kim and Alexander Ahn, of Utah, are charged in U.S. District Court for Utah with conspiracy to introduce misbranded drugs into interstate commerce.\nLee formulated his own hair growth treatment, and in 1996 he and Dorius started selling it online through their company Regrowth. But the two never registered the company with the Federal Drug Administration or sought its approval for the products, some containing active pharmaceutical ingredients.\nThe FDA investigated Regrowth early last year, after which Lee agreed to permanently shut down the operation and send out an urgent drug recall to all customers.\nBy then, there were almost 58,000 bottles in commerce, according to an FDA drug recall enforcement report.\nThat was in February 2011. The next month, Kim traveled to California to meet with the former hair growth salesmen. Then in April, Lee delivered all of Regrowth’s products and manufacturing equipment to Orem, and taught Kim and Ahn how to make his products.\nKim and Ahn established Minoxidil Solutions — without FDA approval — to sell the hair growth treatment and agreed to pay Lee and Dorious 50 percent of all the proceeds.\nAs of Nov. 15, 2011, Ahn had sent two checks totalling $10,000 to Dorius. The next month, Dorius e-mailed Kim and Ahn to \"scrub\" their computer hard disk drives of any correspondence between them to conceal them from FDA investigators, according to the indictment.\nCopyright 2014 The Salt Lake Tribune.

{"text": "Written by:\n3/13/2009 2:13 PM\nOutdoor Channel airs several hundred hours of original programming each year, with content covering traditional outdoor sports like hunting, fishing, motorsports, and shooting. According to Gene Brookhart, senior vice president of operations and engineering for Outdoor Channel, the network’s experience with the XDCAM system over the past three years – as well as the technology’s durability, performance and versatile features – were the main reasons for choosing the Sony optical technology.\n“We take our time evaluating a new technology, especially an acquisition or submission format,” he said. “We have a history with the XDCAM system. We’ve seen it perform in conditions you wouldn’t normally risk taking a camera: heat, cold, humidity, the wild, you name it. The nature of what we do occurs in the great outdoors. We’ve put these cameras and decks through the most extreme conditions and they’ve consistently worked.”\nBrookhart noted that Outdoor Channel is requiring all its third-party producers to fully convert to HD for field production and content delivery by the third quarter of 2010, and the XDCAM HD technology provides a great cost-effective option for these producers.\nOutdoor Channel is also rolling out several of Sony’s XDCAM EX™ ExpressCard-based compact memory camcorders, a combination of models PMW-EX1 and PMW-EX3 that, for now, are used for acquisition only. “The EX footage matches up so well with XDCAM HD content and fits seamlessly into a tapeless production,” he said.\nThe network also has several PDW-HD1500 optical decks used for program editing and mastering.\nAmong the PDW-700 camcorder’s benefits that Brookhart noted is its cache memory capability. This feature allows XDCAM camcorders to continuously record up to 30 seconds of video, audio and metadata in memory while in standby mode. Then, when the record button is pushed, those 30 seconds and all associated data are automatically recorded onto the Professional Disc™ media and the camcorder will continue recording in real time.\n“You don’t know when an animal might pop out from the middle of nowhere, a fish might bite or something might happen that you need to grab,” he said. “You want to make sure you don’t miss that shot, but you also don’t want to sit there burning up tape, waiting for it to happen either.”\nOther features the network finds useful are the ability to view footage as thumbnails on the camcorder’s LCD screen, then switch instantly back to recording live action; as well as its low-light capabilities, time-lapse and the low cost and archival nature of the media.\n“We believe HD is the future,” he said. “Having a system that can handle more than 1,000 rewrites with a shelf life of up to 50 years is a tremendous value for us. Our crews are going to encounter every type of weather and environment, from deep cold to extreme heat. We needed a system that could withstand these environments.”"}
