Major League Baseball is recommending in the “strongest terms” that players and staff not travel to Venezuela for the Caribbean Series, which is to start Feb. 2 in Barquisimeto.
Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido declared he was temporarily assuming presidential powers in a bid to unseat Nicolas Maduro. President Trump this week supported Guaido's claim to power. Maduro called home all Venezuelan diplomats from the U.S. and closed its embassy in Washington.
The Caribbean Series is the highest tournament for professional baseball teams in Latin America. | 2019-04-24T14:48:54 | https://www.latimes.com/sports/mlb/la-sp-mlb-venezuela-20190125-story.html |
The inception of generic medicines has helped a lot of people, as they are easily available at relatively cheaper price. Generic medications are as effective as their branded counterparts. They are nothing but the versions of branded medicines. They are produced and developed in the same way as their branded counterpart are. They are manufactured under the rules and regulations laid by the Food and Drug Administration; hence, they are extremely safe and superior in quality.
The Generic section of this online pharmacy features generic medicines such for men and women. They include Proscalpin 1mg and Kwiknic 2mg, which is used for hair loss and quit smoking, respectively. These generic medicines deliver satisfactory results. They are available at some pocket-friendly price through online pharmacies. The use of generic medicines has been majorly seen in people who suffer from sexual dysfunctions, allergy, hair fall, quit smoking and weight loss.
A generic medicine is a carbon copy medicine of its branded version. They both have same active ingredient, usage instructions, route of administration, safety, precautions, side effects and even contraindications. The only difference between a generic and brand medicine is the price, wherein a generic medicine is extremely cheap than a brand medicine. That’s because a generic medicine does not undergo production, development, research, promotion, advertisement and marketing cost. | 2019-04-23T06:53:28 | https://fortunehealthcarepharmacy.com/generic |

Asko is owned by Sub-Zero, and that is who we had to deal with. They were horrible. We purchased a very expensive Asko washer and dryer. Almost from day one we had problems with the washer. Sometimes it would just not spin all the water out of the clothes. This was random, and it didn't matter how big or small the load was or what the cycle was. This has now gone on for over 2 years. We called the store we bought it from and they sent their repairman. The man has now been out more than 10 times. Some parts on the washer were replaced although no one could seen to figure out what the issue was. NOTHING has worked and we continue to have the problem. In addition to this at times when washing suds and water would pour out of the front of the washer onto our wood floors. Of course the repair service couldn't figure out why that was happening randomly either.
During this time Asko/Sub Zero in Wisconsin was contacted several times by the repairman, and in our presence. The poor guy just didn't know what else to do and wanted to let them know about the issues. I personally just had a phone conversation that was insulting and went nowhere. The rep showed absolutely no good faith, and during the call she continually tried to manipulate the conversation and distort the truth in an attempt to try to absolve Asko/Sub-Zero of having to take responsibility for their obviously defective product.
I have never had issues like these with any other washer I have ever owned. It is truly disgusting that this company has ignored the problem and let it go on and on, no matter what we did. We went through channels and did everything they all told us to. Now, we are at the end of our patience, and are going to leave bad reviews about them on every site we can find. We have all our paperwork together and are now considering a lawsuit in small claims court. We cannot afford to let this go. Needless to say we would never do business with this company again or ever recommend them or their products.
Just awful. Spent 12K on a brand new 48 inch side by side Sub Zero Refrigerator. Took five weeks to get a service call for initial problems of excessive noise. Despite promised contact, no one called to schedule appointment. Was on hold for 24 minutes trying to find out why. When service finally appeared, they resolved noise problem but next attempt to use the external water dispenser resulted in a flood of water down the front of the refrigerator and all over the floor, with water spraying everywhere but in the glass directly under the dispenser, and creating a huge mess. Called again Friday morning to hear after 12 minutes on hold that the office is "closed". Not sure why anyone thinks this is a good product or a customer oriented company, except for the hype and advertising, all of which are lies.
My side by side built in Sub-Zero ice maker gets stuck so sometimes I don’t get ice, and sometimes it spits it out wildly. Ice dispenser is horrible as it normally spits out ice on the floor as it is poorly designed. The freezer drawer doesn’t pull out all the way, and I couldn’t find any useful information online to pull the drawer out. I called them, first woman didn’t know, and the second woman pretended she knew what to do and I told her it wasn’t working. And asked to speak to another person and she said that the next person would just tell me the same thing? This was after being on hold for 20 min and talking to them for 5. I’m not impressed for the price I paid.
Purchased this Sub-Zero 1 1/2 yrs ago. The compressor makes a bongo drum sound when it comes on. This lasts for about 1-2 minutes. The freezer does not keep food as frozen as the supermarket even at a temp setting of zero. The fridge box temp tends to measure 40-45 degrees even though temp is set at 38.
Considering the outrageously high price there should be a fridge thermostats like the ones in your home where you can set the temp for day and night. There should also be an actual temp gauge inside the fridge and the freezer!
Although we have had these models for over 18 years, they have needed many repairs to keep them working. First, the good. The compressors have lasted without failures. Bad: the evaporators in both units failed within 5-7 years, the electronic modules use substandard relays for switching the compressors on and off (contacts welding due to excess starting current), defrost heater failed on the freezer when the evaporator failed. It is very inconvenient when a refrigerator or a freezer fails so I would hope that these VERY expensive units would be built for a lifetime like the GEs built 70-80 years ago.
How do I know I can trust these reviews about Sub-Zero?
We bought this fridge in 2016 because the previous fridge lasted about 20 years. The newer model was a joke, lacking any innovation, with most of the material seemingly inferior to their 90s counterpart – all of which made me feel very stupid for not checking out the physical unit prior to forking out $10,000. We've had to contact Sub-Zero three times for issues/repair since. They dropped the ball on our last service request. As other reviewers noted, calling their falsely advertised "Call Us Anytime" line was a waste of time as no one ever picks up. I'm still waiting with the hold music and it's been over 20 minutes — writing them an email instead. By the way, the hidden email for customer service is customerservice@subzero.com. Good luck, people. I would go for a Miele, Thermador, or honestly, anything else.
We inherited the Sub-Zero 650 when purchasing our home. The unit is less than 20 years old. It seems as though it's one issue after the next. The unit is built in, so replacing it would be expensive. We're stuck with fixing it time after time. Think twice before purchasing Sub-Zero. You'll be happy you did.
Not worth the money. For its large size, it doesn't hold much. Freezer is too small and it makes very little ice. Had to get an extra refrigerator for the garage.
Do no waste your money on Sub-Zero water and ice maker. We inherited a Sub-Zero when we bought our house and it was 30 years old. About 3 years ago it started to have issues so we decided to replace with another Sub-Zero since our previous one lasted so long and "upgrade" to the water and ice maker. We just assumed that Sub-Zero would be top of the line for everything. WE WERE VERY WRONG.
The ice maker either jams or the ice shoots out so fast and all over the place. Then every now and then an ice cube will just drop out and if nobody is around, it melts and cause a puddle to form where you put the cup and drips down our wood panels. We have had several service calls and everyone tells us it is just the way it is designed and the defrost heater caused the ice to melt a little and then the cubes stick together. And the cubes are so big they don't fit through the hole very well... especially when they start to stick together. Smaller cubes or a bigger chute would help. So basically, there is nothing we can do... just a very poor design.
Our friends also bought a Sub-Zero with ice dispenser in the last 2 years and they say the same thing. We just bought a second fridge for the house (LG) with another ice dispenser and it works wonderfully. How can a company that makes a fridge at 1/6 of the cost have a better design than a $12000 refrigerator??? So unbelievably disappointed in our purchase and Sub-Zero has done nothing besides connect us to a service provider that says nothing can be done. Seriously people, DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$.
This refrigerator keeps food perfectly and longer but is very expensive, almost three times the cost of another refrigerator, and has no bells and whistles for all that money. No ice or water in the door.
Have had this built-in SubZero since 1994 and it has been an exceptional refrigerator/freezer. Last year it finally needed a new compressor and of course there was no more R-12 refrigerant to be had so had to pay for not only a new compressor but R-22 refrigerant too. Still an outstanding refrigerator/freezer.
One of my best purchases while piecing together a new house, great craftsmanship, well-made. Good price for it all. Needs better air filtering though.
I have so many problems with my Sub-Zero (700tf) I have lost count. I had to replace the compressor last March and now it's April a year later and I think I have to replace it again! The new compressor has a warranty of one year and I'm just a month past that! I feel I'm at a loss because the freezer is built into a wall and I don't know how to replace it with a different brand that would fit. I called the closest repair shop that works on these and since they are an hour away they charge $125 upfront to come and see what the problem is. Very disappointed for the money to buy one of these. Oh, and we were the first owners of it and have only had it since December 22, 2009!
New Subzero side by side - Very good looking and apparently well made. It was installed Saturday. The instructions say it takes 24 hours for ice to be made. The next day I tried to get the ice container out to see how much ice was made. The door does not open wide enough to pull out the container. I had to maneuver it a few different ways to finally get it out and then to get it back in. I called the service department for the selling company. He said there is no adjustment and it is a common complaint. Extremely stupid.
I am submitting this review because so many others have been negative. We bought our side by side Sub-Zero 690 late in 1999 and it is still going strong. we have had repairs under $500 in that time frame. We are looking to replace it only because we are redoing our kitchen. The service person who was out a couple of years ago said that they often see Sub-Zeros work well at age 30! We bought a double wolf oven a couple of years ago just because we have had such a good experience with Sub-Zero, Having said that many people have also suggested that the newer appliances are not as reliable as older models.
We have had constant problems with our 2 Sub-Zero Refrigerators and 2 freezers. I have lost track how many times the Sub-Zeros have been serviced and parts replaced. We maintain it and clean out vents etc so we take good care of them. It’s just a poorly made product. When I tried to call the corporate headquarters, I could not get anyone on the phone. Avoid at all costs or you will be paying for repairs on a yearly basis.
Joe the refrigerator repairman was excellent in guiding me through and teaching me how to connect the water hose to my refrigerator. He even showed me how to turn on the water valve for the refrigerator to work the water and ice dispenser. I not only recommend him for his excellent job, I will order the Sub-Zero refrigerator again and continue to contact Sub-Zero for upcoming repair.
We purchased all Sub-Zero/Wolf/Asko kitchen appliances several months ago through Ferguson, both supposedly reputable American companies. The Sub-Zero promotion gives the customer the choice of several free smaller appliances (i.e. toaster) and a $1,000 gift certificate in return for buying all Sub-Zero products. In order to redeem from Sub-Zero we had to submit a redemption form, proof of purchase, serial and model numbers. We submitted everything requested online, as requested by Sub-Zero. We waited several weeks and followed up. We were informed a claim was never made. We resubmitted everything again and again we informed the claim was not received by Sub-Zero.
Our claims were never bounced back due to using an incorrect email address. We have submitted our claims three times now, both online and now by mail. Each time we call the claim dept, rep says they have no knowledge of our claim. Our conclusion is Sub-Zero has no intention of ever honoring their offer and the promotion is bogus.
I called the Sub Zero Customer Care 800 line today for they said "Ask us Anything Anytime". Unfortunately that is not the case. After hearing the repeated message "someone will be with you" I got a person that basically knew nothing. In fact she told me to call on Monday to the same phone number and ask for a "product specialist". I think they need to change their website and state that no one is available on Saturdays that is knowledgeable. Fortunately the problem is only one of not making ice, so it can hold but if I had an extremely pressing problem, I would expect far better. This Sub-Zero is 7 years old and was $10K.
Purchased our Sub-Zero and Wolf. Freezer gasket would create vacuum seal making it hard to open which is good, our fridge side never did that upon opening. He replaced the freezer side gasket with a bigger one to line up the two doors because the fridge door stuck out more than the freezer side, the problem is now neither side creates vacuum when you close it and try to open it again, which tells me that neither door is sealing properly, also ice and frost is building up in my freezer. Plus I conducted three other tests and the seals on both doors failed all three tests. So I had a professional come out to fix the problem and he made it worse, now my compressor runs a lot more and I noticed the vent above is hot and it never was before. We had problems with our oven shutting off on us. After three different servicemen the problem is finally fixed, but now one of the stoves igniter keeps on clicking even when the stove is off.
Please whatever you do don't buy these products, if you have a problem the service people are not trained well enough to fix the problems. We bought these products because they are suppose to be the best, but honestly I am so stressed out I feel like crying. My wife is sick to her stomach. We just want to throw this stuff in the garbage, because it's too painful to go in our kitchen. We have to call service again and this is about the 8th or 9th time they have been out and the range and the fridge are not even a year old. We have had more issues with our appliances than all the appliances we have owned in the last 40 years. The whole reason we bought this is so we can have peace of mind and instead I have to go see a shrink to cope. Take heed to my warning. Please. It's a lot of money and it's not even close to worth it. Believe me.
My first Sub-Zero was a model 690. After numerous problems And having to threaten the manufacturer they finally replaced the refrigerator/freezer. The problem with the first one was with the icemaker and they couldn’t repair it. Now we have a model 695. The compressor has given us many problems. Finally A month ago we had a new compressor put in. Even with the warranty we still had to pay $765. Now it’s been a month and a half since the new compressor and on Christmas morning we discover that the refrigerator is back up to 60°. What a nightmare. All our food is wasted. I really don’t know what to say. Other than the Sub-Zero’s are good looking but very unreliable. I called up the company who is an authorized representative repair facility for Sub-Zero to get this taken care of. Time will tell!
The ice makers are the worst in the industry. We paid extra for the door mounted ice delivery system and quickly learned not to use it due to overfilling and with its location you cannot visually observe it or water filling without bending down to a height of 4 feet or less. Ice maker clogs regularly requiring removal of icebox to clear. Buy a less expensive refrigerator and be much more pleased. It is overpriced by a minimum of 2x.
Don't bother to purchase this unit - after 13K and 3 years the ice maker freezes up and the compressor is gone - terrible customer service - when you spend this type of money on a product you would think that it would last more than 3years. Repairs are outrageous and it is still not fixed. Stay away.
My fridge (BI36U) cost nearly $10,000 and is falling apart after just three years. I feel so ripped off. What the heck happened to this brand? My in-laws have had their Sub-Zero for decades and have only had repairmen come out recently. This company is coasting on an old reputation that is just not true anymore. In the time I've had it, again less than three years, repairmen have had to come twice. One is here right now which is what has inspired this lovely rant! And like others on this forum, I've needed to do various things myself, like emptying my entire fridge and sitting there with a hair dryer to get the ice inside to melt.
Folks, this fridge is exactly like the sports car my husband had when we first met, it was constantly in the shop for one expensive repair or another, requiring special parts and expertise. Except this fridge is not fun when it is working, it's just a fridge. Mine was a high end kitchen design. My kitchen is all over Pinterest and sure, the Sub-Zero looks good in the photos. But now when I look at it, I feel like a big sucker. If you actually want to use this fridge in real life, be ready for a headache.
I purchased both Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf 48 inch oven in 2008. For past few months the Wolf oven wasn't working right and would take longer than usual to warm up and I didn't have time to call for service until my Side by side refrigerators stop working and everything melted. I panic and didn't know what to do and how expensive would be to fix it.
Then I thought instead of calling the technician I will call Sub-Zero to see what kind of suggestion they have. To my surprised they have 24 hours toll free number. I called them and explained to them the situation regarding the refrigerator and then since I had them online told them about the Range. I cannot even believed how helpful and understanding and wonderful they have been through this process.
First, the lady guide me and helped me to do some test on the refrigerator and got it back to work. She said somebody play with it and put it on showroom mode (that was our maid when she was cleaning it). Just imagine if I would of call outside technician what kind of cost and problem I would have, and then she authorized a technician to come and inspect the refrigerator and the oven without any charge.
The technician arrived on time and he was very polite and very professional and after inspecting both appliances he told me the dual oven needs one of the heating element on each one is out and needs replacement and some other part for refrigerators needed to be changed. I called the 24 hours customer service again and they said they authorized the part and the labor.
I was amazed with their professionalism, care and politeness. They did not have to to do any of these thing but they did it because they take pride of American made product and excellent reputation and amazing customer service. My refrigerator and my Wolf Range got fixed without any question or headache. I know both brand cost more but it is worth every penny in a long run. My suggestion is if you have problem with any of the product first call the company before you call any repairman.
When we decided to renovate our home in 2003, we had limited space for a kitchen in our small urban home. With space being at a premium, we decided a big boxy-style fridge would just not work, so we looked into buying a Sub-Zero. We cook a lot, and buy lots of produce at our local farmer's market, along with many condiments for making lots of styles of food. We needed a fridge that was not big, but not small either. We ended up buying a used 550 off of a refrigerator repairman for $2,000. He had refurbished it and the price included a 1 year warranty. My husband built a cabinet especially for it, custom door panels, side panels, and matching cabinet above. It looked great, just what we needed. We loved the shelves, the two egg trays on the door, the deli drawer and the ice maker.
We found the vegetable/fruit drawers too shallow, and ended up with lots of vegetables on the shelves above and below the drawers, which cut into space for everything else. The specs say the 550, 36" wide, bottom freezer drawer, has 15.7 cu.ft. of refrigerator space and 6.4 cu. ft. of freezer space, for a total of 22.1cu. ft. That is a reasonable amount of space, and not different than the old side-by-side GE we used to have. In 2008, the ice maker stopped working, and the same repairman who sold us the unit came back and installed a new WATER VALVE for $38.00 parts, $70.00 Trip charge, and $180 for labor. With tax it came to $291.00. Great, ice maker working again, all is good. But there were other annoyances with the refrigerator that we just chalked up to buying a used unit - one was mold. It seemed to creep in from the back of the refrigerator, landing on jar lids, inside corners of shelves, inside the dairy cubbies on the door.
No sooner would you do a full clean up and wipe down the whole thing with diluted Clorox and it would be back. Then there was the pan under the unit, annoying to get to, but we needed to check it every so often, as we were afraid it would fill up and wreck our kitchen hardwood floors. Then the cleaning of the upper grill, always catching dust, which looked bad, and the coils inside the upper area had to be cleaned too. This would be fine if you had cleaning help to do this but sometimes a two earner couple with kids cannot stay on top of these things. Then in 2015 the refrigerator is noisier than usual for a couple of weeks, and one day there is water flowing all over the wood floor in front of the unit, causing the wood to cup, just awful. Water spots appear on the drywall of the ceiling of the room below the kitchen.
The ice maker isn't working, and the ice cream is melted in the freezer drawer, obviously something has gone wrong with the freezer, so we call the guy we bought it from, but he never calls back, so I look for another repairman who will work on Sub-zeros in our area (not too hard to find as we live in a very urban setting in a major US city). The new repairman comes out, looks it over and says the Evaporator needs charging, and that there seems to be a leak in the freezer system. The total estimate to fix is $1,200, with a 3 month warranty on the work. As we are very busy and can't really deal with changing out the refrigerator at the time, we agree to have him do the work. He is there almost a whole day with his equipment consisting of a tank and long hoses, but in the end the 550 is up and running, including the ice maker.
We spend weeks tearing up the damaged floor, searching out boards to match the 100-year old original floor, new finish, etc, and do the best we can to make it look okay, although it was impossible to repair it to how it used to be, and to this day we see the "mistakes" in the floor thanks to the 550 Subzero leak. The downstairs ceiling also has to be "down" while the ceiling is repainted. It’s August 2017 now. The icemaker once again is not working. The mold is back in the refrigerator area. The white paint that we had repaired on the shelves is once again coming off, with the black metal showing through. We still stuff the vegetables in, but love the egg trays for our farm fresh eggs. But it is time to throw in the towel. And here is why I would never buy a Subzero again - the refrigerator doesn't really work well when you store actual food in it. Like a family-sized amount of food.
The whole system is designed around air circulation, meaning you have to only store shallow items on the top and bottom shelves of the refrigerator section. So I did a calculation of the actual area of storage in this unit, 36: wide, 24' deep, 84" high fridge/freezer. When you measure the actual space that jars and food items will fit onto the shelves, excluding the lips and the brackets, etc, the actual area for storage is: 12.4 cu ft. Fridge and 4.5 Freezer for a grand total of 16.9 cu ft. of space. It’s just not an adequate amount of storage space for the average family. Who can be constantly concerned that the items on the bottom shelf won't block the "airflow?" It's a refrigerator, for goodness sakes. I'm glad I did not spend an arm and a leg to learn the truth about Sub-zero. I hope to find a real refrigerator, one than can look after itself.
We've only had our wine cooler for 3-1/2 years. It was not inexpensive... $7000 or so. I would have expected many years of good service. So, the bottom unit just failed... called in a local service company to repair. It's past the 2 year warranty, and it's not a covered 5 year warranty item. $275 to fix. Three weeks later, the top unit failed. Waiting to hear what this will cost me. Oh, and the only authorized Sub-Zero service company for South Florida is in Miami, over 80 miles away. Very disappointed. I have other Sub-Zero appliances, which I'm questioning now, expecting them to die soon. I will not consider Sub-Zero again, nor will I ever recommend to friends and colleagues.
This is the second time my Sub-Zero failed. The last time it was the compressor for over $800. I won't make that mistake again. I can buy a new fridge for much less. My ice maker has been frozen for two years. I am tired of using a hair dry to melt the ice blockage.
Sub zero built in refrigerator - Would not recommend these pieces of junk to my worst enemy. Have had two service calls at over 600.00 each and the parts were still under warranty. The drain hose freezes constantly and has to be thawed, a design defect for sure. I'm ready to take it to the dump where it belongs and get a fridge for less than I pay for servicing this one. I know where they get the zero in their name from. I would give them a zero star if it was available.
I am very dissatisfied with this product! We bought a Sub-Zero when we built our home less than two years ago. The ice jams up nearly weekly, the freezer ices up and the dispenser leaks! We paid several thousand dollars for this because we wanted an high-end kitchen. What a mistake! Before this, we had a Kenmore for 20 years and never had a problem. Don't buy this product!

Lynn demonstrates how to make a super easy one pot meal, Chili Pasta Skillet. You can make this in a large skillet or pot, but I am using my Pampered Chef Rock Crok. From Better Homes and Gardens.
Stir in beans, undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce uncooked macaroni, chile peppers, chili powder, red pepper flakes, if using, and garlic salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 20 minutes or until macaroni is tender, stirring often. Remove skillet from heat; sprinkle mixture with cheese. Cover and let stand about 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. | 2019-04-20T16:23:37 | http://lynnsrecipes.com/recipes/main-dishes/619-chili-pasta-skillet-one-pot-meal |
A £6.5m grant has been awarded to pump naturally-heated water from an old coal mine and use it to heat 150 homes.
Bridgend council said the £9.4m scheme would extract water from the former Caerau colliery.
The cash is to develop and implement technology to pump water from a depth of 230m (750ft) which has been heated by the earth to about 20.6C (70F).
“It’s a very prestigious project and I am proud it’s happening in Bridgend,” said cabinet member Richard Young.
A feasibility study is ongoing until the end of February and the British Geological Survey has tested the temperature, chemistry and volume of water available.
The scheme could eventually heat 1,000 homes and help cut energy bills in Wales’ fifth most deprived ward.
It is hoped it will save people up to £100 a year as it does not require gas to heat the water.
Construction work is expected to start in 2020 with the first 150 homes being heated by winter 2021.
The total cost of the project is about £9.4m – the Welsh European Funding Office’s £6.5m grant has been combined with £2.2m of match funding from the UK and Welsh governments, the council and non-profit organisation Energy Systems Catapult.
Bridgend council is trying to raise the remaining £700,000.
The council said there were other mine water heating projects across the UK but none “on such a large scale”.
Mr Young said the scheme would create jobs and apprenticeships but the number is not yet known. | 2019-04-20T12:33:46 | https://www.euroheat.org/news/6-5m-caerau-coal-mine-water-central-heating-plan/ |
Changing the game for the “game changers," The Digs Changing Poncho makes disrobing a magic trick.
Comfortably get naked on the Beach & Change Carefree!
I love going to the ocean straight from running errands or work. I show up in my normal clothes, strip down under my Beach towel poncho, and slid my bikini on super easy. Being on the beach in Hawaii, of course I get funny looks from tourists, but they always seem impressed when I'm done changing. Locals always ask what Brand it is! Comfortable, warm, soft & perfect, this was my favorite and most used Christmas present. Highly recommend. Worth every dollar.
This is a great alternative to towel changing! it really makes for a great garment that is comfortable and sporty.
The material used is better than my house towels from Costco. I would recommend this to my family and friends.
Super comfy and warm for those San Francisco cold days. Easy to change in and out of your wetsuit while staying warm. | 2019-04-22T18:45:27 | https://slowtide.ca/collections/all/products/the-digs-changing-poncho |
Background: Health workers in both well-resourced and limited income settings face health threats from exposures encountered in their unique and complex work environment. Even before the 2014 Ebola outbreak, preventable harm was routinely felt by health workers, most visibly through the fatal collusion between the HIV/AIDS epidemic and tuberculosis (TB) infection in high endemic countries.
Objectives: The aim of this paper is to examine the analyses of the health sector workforce by development and public health agencies regarding its sustainability, threats from workersʼ personal health risks and discussion of protections to address those risks.
Methods: Development and public health agency reports assessing the sustainability of and threats to the health workforce both pre-and post the 2014 Ebola outbreak were examined with a focus on low and middle- income countries (LMICs).
Findings: Reviews of the health sector workforce have largely focused on its role as a necessary component of sustainable development. Hence, staff competency, numbers and productivity have been emphasized with little notice of the conditions of work and the highly hazardous environment contributing to worker out-migration, illness and death.
Conclusions: Going forward, the 2016 World Health Assembly campaign to advance human resources for health and other UN efforts on health employment may offer some opportunities to address needed health worker protections. However, to these largely competency-focused workforce development efforts must first be brought resources for and commitment to protecting the safety of these workersʼ lives and livelihood. Doing less defeats investments in fragile health systems and is plainly unethical.
In both well-resourced settings and in low- and middle-income (LMI) countries, the health workforce is threatened with harm from exposure to agents encountered in a unique and complex work setting.
While the Ebola outbreak is the most recent example of preventable harm faced by the health workforce , serious threats to these workers’ lives and livelihoods predated that historic devastation, most visibly through the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the fatal collusion between HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) infection in high endemic HIV regions . Such outcomes cripple health systems in affected areas, further jeopardizing capacity to prevent and treat wider advancing health threats, both infectious and otherwise.
Given these sobering and on-going risks to both the work force and the larger health system, worker protections must take on a greater urgency than previously afforded by health ministries, sector planners and donors alike.
The health sector is best identified with the risk of exposure to life-threatening infections such as TB, SARS, HIV, and hepatitis, which have been the primary focus of health worker (HW) safety programs, where they exist. Also historically recognized were cancer excesses in radiology personnel which have declined with safety interventions . More recently acknowledged have been the chemical hazards, including novel agents, some unique to the sector such as sterilants, laboratory reagents, and pharmaceuticals including the highly toxic anti-cancer drugs . Also recognized are musculo-skeletal injuries resulting from patient lifting and workplace violence against health workers, which have contributed to poor job conditions and staff dissatisfaction .
The altruistic, caregiving mission of the sector also complicates prevention practices because typical workplace self- preservation behaviors are suspended in a culture of selfless commitment to patient care. There is an erroneous ‘either/or’ mentality often present that sometimes forces a worker to make a false choice between providing good care or protecting one’s own health .
Conditions of work and threats to health have been found to contribute to the current global HW shortage and even in well-resourced settings, are critical factors in job satisfaction and nurses’ decisions to stay in the profession .
While the vulnerabilities of the global health workforce have been well known for more than twenty years, consistent, systematic protection efforts by public health and development agencies have been disappointingly lacking.
An early reference to HW safety was made in a World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution, titled “Global Strategy for Occupational Health ” where, the “complex combination of hazards” in the health sector was expressly called out as requiring attention.
This resolution pre-dated the spate of international development agency reports that would follow in the late 1990s through the mid- 2000s describing the toll the HIV/AIDS epidemic was taking on health systems in LMI countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa .
The connection between HIV infection and TB susceptibility was sufficiently well documented by the late 1990s that the WHO issued a policy statement recommending preventive isoniazid therapy to persons living with HIV . It would take more than an additional decade for that and other preventive policies to be specifically recommended for the health worker living with HIV , despite the evidence that TB risk in health workers is “consistently higher” than risk among the general population world- wide [12, 13, 14].
Importantly, most of the analyses of the health sector by development agencies was performed from an economic development vantage point, viewing the workforce as an element of the broader health system hobbled by the burden of the epidemic generally and less so as a targeted victim of it.
Certainly, this emphasis was understandable given these agencies’ mission focus on sustainable development and view of the health system as a necessary component toward that end. Thus, the attention to numbers of workers, capacity, competency, productivity, and worker to population ratios were often the metrics used to describe the health workforce for these reports .
Despite the presence of data to the contrary [13, 16], health worker absenteeism, illness, and death were largely ascribed to workers being members of the wider, general population affected by the HIV epidemic. Typically, not appreciated was the risk from providing care to affected patients, often without safety training, prescribed work practices, protective vaccinations, and proper equipment.
Acknowledging the urgency of the HW crisis, explicit mention of “worker illness and death” as one aspect of HW “out-migration” from the workforce was made in the 2006 World Health Report, “Working Together for Health”, in which the WHO warned that, “losing its workforce can bring a fragile health system close to collapse ” and urged improvements in “conditions of work” in the health sector.
The health workforce was also promoted as one of six essential “pillars” of WHO’s health system strengthening initiative in 2010 . While its focus was again on raising worker numbers and clinical capacity it also targeted for intervention workforce shortages and “losses caused by death, retirement, career change, or out migration”.
Reinforcing this health workforce development campaign, the World Health Assembly (WHA) in 2016, approved a WHO proposal advancing a global strategy for human resources for health (HRH) through 2030 . The proposal however, is disappointingly sparse on any mention of occupational health protections for these workers. Though the concept is mentioned, it contains no specifics even though detailed specifics are included regarding education and training goals and skills acquisition.
Some of the worker- focused sustainable development (SD) goals adopted at the 2015 UN SD Summit might have been woven in here, including providing for the social protection and surveillance of high-risk workers and promoting the International Labor Office (ILO) campaign of “decent work” , a principal tenant of which is to provide a “safe working environment”.
Fortunately, the notion of ‘decent work’ was included in the UN High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth convened in 2016 to address the global HW shortage through cross-sectoral collaborations which may promote safety assurances for HWs not currently provided them.
What will keep health workers reporting to duty?
In the late fall of 2014, during the Ebola outbreak, a senior official in the U.S. Department of Health asked a panel of occupational health and infection control experts, “What will make medical workers and responders feel safe enough to keep reporting for duty?” This question was asked because some U.S. workers failed to report for duty because of fear for their own safety and their lack of confidence in safety preparedness of their employers.
The health worker’s ethical “duty to (provide) care” during pandemics and public health emergencies has been raised previously after similar events and in the literature, without resolution. The challenge arises in the need to clarify and balance the extent and limits of the health worker’s ethical duty to provide care, on the one hand, with the employing organization’s ethical responsibility to protect the workforce by providing safety measures, on the other [22, 23]. Given that many organizations’ safety efforts during the Ebola pandemic fell woefully short, both in LMI and developed countries, this balancing of ethical duties and responsibilities remains unresolved.
We know however, from occupational health research that when the worker is confident of the employer’s organizational commitment to safety, they will continue to report for duty. This has been shown by measuring safety culture confidence, one example of which is the availability and quality of personal protective equipment (PPE) . Obviously, a safety program must be more comprehensive than this single aspect, but PPE availability has been viewed as a tangible measure of employer commitment to affected workers.
Expectations that employers, including Ministries of Health, are obliged to provide safe employment for their workers, is not a new idea. Contained in a 1981 ILO Occupational Health Convention, ratified by more than 65 countries, many of which are LMICs, was a provision which required employers to ensure that workplaces were “safe and without risk to health” as reasonably practicable including the control of “chemical, physical and biological substances and agents… ”.
More specific to the health sector, the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH), in its 2004 document “Recommendations for Protecting Healthcare Workers’ Health”, called for a “systematic occupational risk prevention program” for health workers to include training regarding work risks and the provision of protective measures, as an integral part of an administrative process addressing healthcare quality .
These protective measures are specified in basic occupational hazard control methodology and have achieved success in hazard mitigation across many industrial sectors globally . In most cases, these measures can be effectively applied to the health sector , even in low resource settings .
In the wake of the bitter lessons of Ebola and the more protracted threat to the health workforce posed by HIV/TB complicity, public health leaders must more deliberately prioritize the safety of workers and improved conditions of work in the health sector. Occupational health expertise and services must be routinized not only in disaster responses but in the usual organization of health services provision. To the competency-focused workforce development efforts currently proposed for the health sector must first be brought sufficient resources for and and avid commitment to ensuring the safety of these workers’ lives and livelihoods. To continue to do otherwise propagates “a special cause of wastage” in the health workforce , defeats investments in fragile health systems and is plainly unethical.

Pan Am remained untouched because it operated outside of the United States. In the wake of the Air Mail Act new airlines appeared, including Braniff Airways and Delta Airlines, both winning contracts for airmail routes. So we see that in 1934 TWA was set free from its holding company General Motors, who also owned Eastern Airlines as well as General Aviation, an aircraft manufacturer setting the stage for Howard Hughes to start gobbling up its stock in 1939..
Last season, Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, the director of the NBA’s concussion program, told USA TODAY Sports: „Examining the brain is a very complex thing. One of the fallacies about concussion diagnosis and I’ve been dealing with this for years in the media and in the public is that you can always diagnose a concussion ‚yes‘ or ’no‘ at a given point in time if you just look hard enough.

carried out when you pass away. There are many good reasons to do so.
Single? Need to make a Will?
1. Peace Of Mind A properly made Will provides peace of mind, knowing that your family and friends will not be subjected to any expense or complex issues that may result from intestacy (if you do not make a Will).
2. Avoid Disputes If you make a Will, this avoids any disputes that could arise between your surviving relatives over who has the right to administer and benefit from your estate.
3. Protect Your Partner You can make provision for your partner or any other individual who might be living with or might be dependent on you (for example your common law spouse or an aged relative). If you do not make a Will, they could lose out.
4. Provision For Children Provision can be made for any young children that you have to be financially looked after (if you do not make a Will, there are sometimes restrictions placed on how assets are dealt with and looked after for young children). You can appoint relatives or close friends to be guardians of your children to ensure they are properly looked after.
5. Make Provision For Close Friends You may not have a partner or any children and you may want some of your close friends to benefit from your estate. Making a Single Will, will enable you to do that.
6. Charities If you have only limited family and friends you might want to consider leaving some of your estate to charity.
7. Executors And Trustees You can choose the executors and trustees of your Will (the people who deal with the administration of your estate).
8. Funeral Arrangements You can include details of any specific funeral arrangements that you would like.
9. Gifts And Legacies You can leave any specific gifts of money or items to relatives, friends, and charities.
10. Convenience You can make a Will online in the comfort of your own home.
11. Tax Savings You can prevent having to pay Inheritance Tax and leaving lifetime savings, property and belongings to the Inland Revenue.
If you would like to make a Will then please call us for a free no obligation chat. We would love to hear from you. | 2019-04-19T01:18:49 | https://www.seatons.co.uk/legal-services/wills/single-persons-will/ |
Have Fun with One of These!
The internet scavenger hunt has been around for over a decade. Since the Internet is an enormous collection of answers, the challenge is to find them.
That is why playing a cyberhunt is tons of fun. I have created a couple of entertaining hunts that are posted here. The answers to these questions are found by doing an image search. A little different than looking for word answers, and the results are hysterical when played with the right crowd. These are great at teen birthday parties or use as an office party game where everyone already has a computer.
Internet hunts are the best way to surf the net and have a great time doing it. Since many people now have laptop computers, it is also easy to arrange the party. If you have wireless internet connection in the place of the party, you can simply give the code to your guests and you're off and running!
Doing an internet hunt is also educational. It can improve the computer skills of the players. You can also make a list based on the subject the players are studying. Or do a hunt based on a hobby. The ideas are endless.
It has been reported that the first Internet Scavenger Hunt was developed in 1992. The inventor was a professor at the University of California. He created the hunt to encourage adults to explore the resources on the Internet. He then distributed the questions to various Usenet newsgroups, LISTSERV discussion lists, and Gopher and FTP sites. He offered a prize for successful completion. As time went by, he developed themed and then highly challenging hunts like researching a single email address.
The searches you find here are not that complicated, but they sure do bring some fun into the party. | 2019-04-23T04:35:35 | http://www.perfect-partygames.com/internet-scavenger-hunt.html |
The leading edge of a quiet revolution in healthcare reached the Eastern Shore on Valentine’s Day. That’s when Ash + Ember, a licensed medical marijuana dispensary, opened its doors. The owners of the facility—sisters Ashley and Paige Colen—say they are seeing lots of early demand. The dispensary is located at 202 Coursevall Drive #108 in Centreville. Visit their website here.
Maryland is now one of 29 states (plus Washington DC) that provide legal access to hemp and marijuana derivatives to treat medical problems such as pain, nausea, depression, sleeping disorders, epilepsy, and other health issues. The medical marijuana movement, however, is increasingly global. Australia, Argentina, Canada, Germany, Israel and many other countries already provide similar access. The process in Maryland requires prospective patients to get a doctor’s recommendation, then register with state authorities and receive a specialized ID card, and then to work with a licensed dispensary to identify the particular formulation and mode of delivery that best meets their needs.
Ash + Ember offers to help would-be patients with the registration process and with finding a doctor who will recommend medical marijuana therapy, as well as with finding a formulation that best suits each patient. Since the dispensary is limited to suppliers in Maryland (federal regulations make it illegal to ship marijuana across state lines), it’s stock is fairly limited at present, but the local grower and processor industry is scaling up fast and the Colen sisters expect a much wider selection in coming weeks and months. For now, they accept cash only but expect to accept credit cards in the near future and to offer home delivery of their products.They can also be reached at 443-262-8045 and are open 10am-7pm weekdays and 10am-6pm weekends.
One of the barriers to full realization of the medical and health benefits of cannabinoids—the generic term for the active ingredients in hemp and marijuana plants—is widespread ignorance about them among both patients and doctors. Many people associate marijuana with the underground growing and smoking of “weed” to get high—a practice still illegal in most states. An informal survey suggests that many doctors in private practice on the eastern shore still won’t have anything to do with medical marijuana.
But medical cannabinoids don’t have much to do with getting high. Medical scientists have now identified as many as 80 different cannabinoids, most of which produce no buzz or high at all. Indeed of the 8 cannabinoids commonly found in the now bewildering array of commercial medical marijuana products, only one—THC—interacts with receptors in the brain to produce that kind of psychotropic effect. The other most common form—CBD, the mainstay of most medical/therapeutic uses—has no psychotropic effect at all and acts on receptors that are part of the body’s own cannabinoid system. That system, found in nearly all cells, produces cannabinoids to help stabilize the body’s internal processes.
Moreover, smoking marijuana is probably the least common form of administration. Instead, the active ingredients are extracted from the plant by solvents and used as oils (directly on the skin, or ingested in capsules or food, or vaporized and inhaled) or alcohol-based tinctures (delivered as drops under the tongue). Extraction allows manufacturers both to concentrate the active ingredients and also to more precisely control concentrations and purity. And the variety of ways of using medical marijuana gives patients more control as well. Inhaling a vapor has an almost immediate effect, but may be too strong for some circumstances or not a comfortable mode of use for some. Ingesting the drug means a much slower but longer-lasting effect (for controlling pain at work, for example). Putting a drop or two under your tongue also gives immediate effect, but the concentrations in tinctures are typically lower.
Clinical research on specific cannabinoids and their impact on health conditions is still in the early stages—in large part because the federal government had made it very difficult to get permission to do such research. But last year a randomized clinical trial found that high-CBD extracts helped markedly to control epileptic seizures in children. Another study in a mouse model of autism showed that CBD has promise as a treatment there as well. Canadian studies have provided evidence that cannabinoids can help with post-traumatic stress disorder, chemotherapy-induced nausea, sleeping disorders, and arthritic pain. More research is coming.
Arguably one of the most important potential impacts of medical marijuana is likely to be easing the opioid epidemic, the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States. If pain can be treated with non-addictive cannabinoids, why use opiods—and enrich the pharma companies that make them—in the first place? Indeed, research studies have reported fewer opioid deaths and reduced opioid use in states where medical marijuana is available. That in itself would be a major benefit of widespread adoption of medical cannabinoids. And if cannabinoids can be used to help wean people already addicted from opioids, as some research suggests, even better.
Of course, medical marijuana is not the only revolution going on—more and more states are legalizing recreational marijuana as well, and the dominant brands for recreational use usually include quite a bit of THC. One genuine concern about recreational marijuana is its potential impact on adolescents: cannabinoids—especially THC—can have a significant impact on the development of adolescent brains. But the more tightly controlled distribution channels for medical marijuana seem far less likely to “leak” into adolescent culture, as well as focusing more heavily on CBD.
Another concern is work-related drug tests: will medical marijuana use show up on these tests and cause someone to lose a job? As it turns out, the tests that follow a federal standard are specific to THC, so using a low-THC/high CBD formulation to control pain should not trigger a positive test.
Another barrier to use is simply social: we’re not yet to the stage where people talk openly about their medical marijuana use. But if you have medical concerns that are not well met by conventional medicines, or want to avoid opioid use or anti-depressants with bad side effects, you might want to look into what’s available—and legal—in medical marijuana, now conveniently at hand on the eastern shore.
Thank-you, Al for a clear and informative article.
My compliments of a factual and well balanced article on medicinal Cannabis!

This wire is stiff, with thin but very tough insulation. It has some spring to it, but is very pliable and will keep its shape when bent. This quality, coupled with the thin insulation make it perfect for routing through tight, awkward spaces. The tough insulation has high abrasion resistance, making this wire a good choice in applications where it is likely to get rubbed or pinched.

Is a Mess Causing you Stress?
Does this look and feel familiar?
Do you feel overwhelmed by the “stuff” that surrounds you at your home or office?
You are not alone! We all have “stuff,” yet all too often we don’t have the time or motivation to take care of it. You are busy with work, kids, school, travel, etc. (in other words, life). It becomes overwhelming and stressful when things are piling up in every direction. It’s hard to know where to begin when there is so much stuff and it seems there is nowhere to put it all.
What can you do to solve the mess and reduce the stress?
Do it yourself - this is a great option if you can make the time and have the desire. Keep in mind that simply putting things away doesn’t always solve the issue from returning. A “system” is needed for long term organization.
Enlist help from your spouse, kids, family, and friends – also a great option, until it’s not. Insert arguments here!

The Dutch colonization of the Americas began with the establishment of Dutch trading posts and plantations in the Americas, which preceded the much wider known colonisation activities of the Dutch in Asia. While the first Dutch fort in Asia was built in 1600 (in present-day Indonesia), the first forts and settlements on the Essequibo River in Guyana date from the 1590s. Actual colonization, with the Dutch settling in the new lands, was not as common as with other European nations. Many of the Dutch settlements were lost or abandoned by the end of the 17th century, but the Netherlands managed to retain possession of Suriname until it gained independence in 1975, as well as the Netherlands Antilles, which remain within the Kingdom of the Netherlands today.
In 1602, the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands chartered a young and eager Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie or "VOC") with the mission of exploring North America's Rivers and Bays for a direct passage through to the Indies. Along the way, Dutch explorers were charged to claim any uncharted areas for the United Provinces, which led to several significant expeditions and, over time, Dutch explorers founded the province of New Netherland. By 1610, the VOC had already commissioned English explorer Henry Hudson who, in an attempt to find the so-called northwest passage to the Indies, discovered and claimed for the VOC parts of the present-day United States and Canada. Hudson entered the Upper New York Bay by sailboat, heading up the Hudson River, which now bears his name.
On March 27, 1614, the States General would move away from traditional monopolistic endeavors and take a new and freer approach to exploration and commercial development of the New World; the issuance of the General Charter for Those who Discover Any New Passages, Havens, Countries, or Places stated that "the said undertaking to be laudable, honorable, and serviceable for the prosperity of the United Provinces and wishing that the experiment be free and open to all and every of the inhabitants of this country, have invited and do hereby invite all and every of the inhabitants of the United Netherlands to the aforesaid search."
In 1614, Adriaen Block led an expedition to the lower Hudson River in the Tyger, and then explored the East River aboard the Onrust, becoming the first known European to navigate the Hellegat in order to gain access to Long Island Sound. Block Island and Block Island Sound are befittingly named in his honor. Upon his return to Amsterdam in 1614, Block compiled a map, and applied the name 'New Netherland' for the first time to the area between English Virginia and French Canada, where he was later granted exclusive trading rights by the Dutch government. Block quickly ascended and became Manhattan's first monopolist.
After some early trading expeditions, the first Dutch settlement in the Americas was founded in 1615: Fort Nassau, on Castle Island along the Hudson, near present-day Albany. The settlement served mostly as an outpost for trading in fur with the native Lenape tribespeople, but was later replaced by Fort Orange. Both forts were named in honor of the House of Orange-Nassau.
By 1621, the United Provinces had charted a new company, a trading monopoly in the Americas and West Africa: the Dutch West India Company (Westindische Compagnie or WIC). The WIC sought recognition as founders of the New World – which they ultimately did as founders of a new Province in 1623, New Netherland. That year, another Fort Nassau was built on the Delaware River near Gloucester City, New Jersey.
In 1624, the first colonists, mostly Walloons and their slaves-bound servants, arrived to New Netherland by the shipload, landing at Governors Island and initially dispensed to Fort Orange, Fort Wilhelmus and Kievets Hoek. In 1626, Director of the WIC Peter Minuit purchased the island of Manhattan from the Lenape natives and started construction of Fort Amsterdam, which grew to become the main port and capital, New Amsterdam. The colony expanded to outlying areas at Pavonia, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Long Island.
On the Connecticut River, Fort Huys de Goede Hoop was completed in 1633 at present day Hartford. By 1636, the English from Newtown (now Cambridge, Massachusetts) settled on the north side of the Little River. In the Treaty of Hartford, the border of New Netherland was retracted to western Connecticut and by 1653, the English had overtaken the Dutch trading post.
Expansion along the Delaware River beyond Fort Nassau did not begin until the 1650s, after the takeover of a Swedish colony, obviously called New Sweden which had been established at Fort Christina in 1638. Settlements at Fort Nassau and the short-lived Fort Beversreede were abandoned and consolidated at Fort Casimir. By 1655 Fort Christina, sitting in what is today Wilmington, had already been renamed Fort Altena.
Not all inhabitants of New Netherlands, Manahattan's first European colonizers, were ethnically Dutch, but in reality came from many European countries. Along with the large number of African native peoples—originally brought over bound by the shackles of slavehood—many New Netherlanders were Walloons, Huguenots, Germans, Scandinavian and English relocated from New England.
In 1664, an English naval expedition ordered by Prince James, Duke of York and of Albany (later King James II & VII) sailed in the harbor at New Amsterdam, threatening to attack. Being greatly outnumbered, Director-General Peter Stuyvesant surrendered after negotiating favorable articles of capitulation. The Province then took a new name, New York (from James's English title). Fort Orange was renamed Fort Albany (from James's Scottish title). The region between the lower Hudson and the Delaware was deeded to proprietors and called New Jersey.
The loss of New Netherland led to the Second Anglo–Dutch War during 1665–1667. This conflict ended with the Treaty of Breda, which stipulated that the Dutch give up their claim to New Netherlands in exchange for Suriname.
From 1673 to 1674, the territories were once again briefly captured by the Dutch in the Third Anglo–Dutch War, only to be returned to England at the Treaty of Westminster. In 1674, Dutch navy captain Jurriaen Aernoutsz also briefly captured two forts in the French colony of Acadia, which he claimed as Dutch territory the new colony of New Holland. However, Aernoutsz's appointed administrator, John Rhoades, quickly lost control of the territory after Aernoutsz himself left for Curaçao to seek out new settlers, and with effective control of Acadia remaining in the hands of France, Dutch sovereignty existed only on paper until the Netherlands surrendered their claim in the Treaties of Nijmegen.
Dutch colonization in the Caribbean started in the 1634 on St. Croix and Tobago (1628), followed in 1631 with settlements on Tortuga (now Île Tortue) and Sint Maarten. When the Dutch lost Sint Maarten (and Anguilla where they had built a fort shortly after arriving in Sint Maarten) to the Spanish, they settled Curaçao and Sint Eustatius. They regained half of Sint Maarten in 1648, from then on sharing the island with France. The border between the two portions of the island continued to be modified periodically, before being set for good in 1816.
Until deep into the 19th century, the now Venezuelan islands of Aves, the Aves archipelago, Los Roques and La Orchila were also considered by the Dutch government to be part of the Dutch West Indies.
The Netherlands Antilles remained an overseas territory of the Netherlands. It was granted self-rule in 1954. In 1986, Aruba was granted autonomy, separately from the other islands. On October 10, 2010, the Netherlands Antilles was dismantled. Like Aruba, the islands Curaçao and Sint Maarten became constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius became special municipalities of the Netherlands.
As a group, the islands are known as the Maagdeneilanden in Dutch. The Dutch established a base on St. Croix (Sint-Kruis) in 1625, the same year that the British did. French Protestants joined the Dutch but conflict with the British colony led to its abandonment before 1650. The Dutch established a settlement on Tortola (Ter Tholen) before 1640 and later on Anegada, Saint Thomas (Sint-Thomas) and Virgin Gorda. The British took Tortola in 1672 and Anegada and Virgin Gorda in 1680.
From 1630 onward, the Dutch Republic gained control of a large portion of northeastern Brazil from the Portuguese. The Dutch West India Company set up their headquarters in Recife. The governor, Johan Maurits, invited artists and scientists in order to help promote migration to the new South-American colony. However, the Portuguese fought back and won a significant victory at the Second Battle of Guararapes in 1649. On 26 January 1654, the Dutch Republic surrendered and signed a capitulation returning control of all the northeastern Brazil colony to the Portuguese. After the end of the First Anglo-Dutch War in May 1654, the Dutch Republic demanded that Nieuw Holland (Dutch Brazil) be returned to Dutch control. Under threat of an occupation of Lisbon and a reoccupation of northeastern Brazil, the Portuguese, already involved in a war against Spain, acceded to the Dutch demand. However, the new Dutch political leader Johan de Witt deemed commerce more important than territory, and saw to it that New Holland was sold back to Portugal on August 6, 1661, through the Treaty of the Hague.
After the devastation caused by World War II, the Dutch government stimulated emigration to Australia, Brazil, and Canada. Brazil was the only nation to allow the arrival of large groups of Catholics. With the consent of the Brazilian government, the Catholic Dutch Farmers and Market-gardeners Union (Dutch: Katholieke Nederlandse Boeren- en Tuindersbond) coordinated the emigration process. A group of approximately 5000 migrants from the province of North Brabant arrived in Brazil, establishing their first colony at the farm of Fazenda Ribeirão in the state of São Paulo. Holambra I was founded in 14 July 1948. After a referendum in 1991 where 98 % of the population voted in favor of political autonomy for the area, Holambra gained city status in January 1993.
Famous for its large production of flowers and plants and for the yearly event Expoflora, Holambra receives thousands of tourists each year. In April 1998 this fact was recognized as Holambra gained the status of Estância Turística, touristic location. Further immigration from the Netherlands, ended up creating the cities in Brazil where the majority of the population descends from these Dutch immigrants. These cities are Holambra, Castrolanda, Carambei, Não me Toque, Witmarsum (where most of the population are descendent of Dutch Frisian immigrants), Arapoti and Campos de Holambra.
In 1600, the Chilean city of Valdivia was conquered by the Dutch pirate Sebastian de Cordes. He left the city after a few months. In 1642, the VOC and WIC sent a fleet to Chile to conquer Valdivia and its supposed gold mines. This expedition was led by Hendrik Brouwer, a Dutch admiral. In 1643, Brouwer died before effecting the conquest of the Chiloé Archipelago; his lieutenant Elias Herckmans succeeded in capturing the ruins of the city, which he refortified and named Brouwershaven. Finding no gold but many hostile natives, the Dutch soon abandoned the outpost.
The second emigration from the Netherlands to Chile was in 1895. Under the so-called "Inspector General of Colonization and Immigration Chilean", a dozen Dutch families settled between 1895 and 1897 in Chiloé, particularly in Mechaico, Huillinco and Chacao. In the same period Hageman Egbert arrived in Chile. with his family, 14 April 1896, settling in Rio Gato, near Puerto Montt. In addition, family Wennekool which inaugurated the Dutch colonization of Villarrica.
In the early twentieth century, there arrived in Chile a large group of Dutch people from South Africa, which had been established where they worked mainly in construction of the railway. When the Boer War, which would eventually lead to the British annexation of both republics in 1902. These emigrants decided to emigrate to Chile with the help of the Chilean government.
On 4 May 1903, a group of over 200 Dutch emigrants sailed on the steamship "Oropesa" shipping company "Pacific Steam Navigation Company, from La Rochelle (La Pallice) in France. The majority of migrants were born in the Netherlands: 35% was from North Holland and South Holland, 13% of North Brabant, 9% of Zeeland and equal number of Gelderland.
On June 5, arrived by train to their final destination, the city of Pitrufquén, located south of Temuco, near the hamlet of Donguil. Another group of Dutchmen arrived shortly after to Talcahuano, in the "Oravi" and the "Orissa". The Netherlands colony in Donguil was christened "New Transvaal Colony. There were established more than 500 families in order to start a new life. Between 7 February 1907 and February 18, 1909 above the last group of families Boers.
It is currently estimated at about 50,000 descendants of Dutch, mostly located in Malleco, Gorbea, Pitrufquén, Faja Maisan and around Temuco and Osorno.
The Dutch West Indian Company built a fort in 1616 on the Essequibo River. The Dutch traded with the Indian peoples and, as in Suriname, established sugar plantations worked by African slaves. While the coast remained under Dutch control, the English established plantations west of the Suriname River. Conflict between the two countries meant parts of the region changed hands a number of times, but by 1796 Britain had control of the region. The Netherlands ceded the colonies of Essequibo, Demerara, and Berbice to Britain in 1814.
The colony in Suriname had originally been founded in the 1650s by Lord Francis Willoughby, the British governor of Barbados. It was captured by the Dutch under Abraham Crijnsen during the Second Anglo–Dutch War. On July 31, 1667, under the Treaty of Breda the Dutch offered New Netherland (including New Amsterdam, modern-day New York City) in exchange for their sugar factories on the coast of Suriname. In 1683 Suriname was sold to the Dutch West India Company. The colony developed an agricultural economy based on African slavery. England controlled Suriname during the Napoleonic Wars from 1799 until 1816, when it was returned to the Dutch. The Netherlands abolished slavery in 1863 and later imported indentured labor from the British Raj and the Dutch East Indies to keep the economy going. Internal self governance was granted in 1954 and full independence in 1975. The prospect of independence prompted many to migrate to the Netherlands. Political instability and economic decline after independence resulted in even more migration to the Netherlands. The Surinamese community in the Netherlands is now almost as large as half of the population in the country itself (about 350,000).

Forbidden City, Chinese (Pinyin) Zijincheng or (Wade-Giles romanization) Tzu-chin-ch’eng, imperial palace complex at the heart of Beijing (Peking), China. Commissioned in 1406 by the Yongle emperor of the Ming dynasty, it was first officially occupied by the court in 1420. It was so named because access to the area was barred to most of the subjects of the realm. Government functionaries and even the imperial family were permitted only limited access; the emperor alone could enter any section at will. The 178-acre (72-hectare) compound was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987 in recognition of its importance as the centre of Chinese power for five centuries, as well as for its unparalleled architecture and its current role as the Palace Museum of dynastic art and history.
Forbidden City Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
The architecture of the walled complex adheres rigidly to the traditional Chinese geomantic practice of feng shui. The orientation of the Forbidden City, and for that matter all of Beijing, follows a north-south line. Within the compound, all the most important buildings, especially those along the main axis, face south to honour the Sun. The buildings and the ceremonial spaces between them are arranged to convey an impression of great imperial power while reinforcing the insignificance of the individual. This architectural conceit is borne out to the smallest of details—the relative importance of a building can be judged not only from its height or width but also by the style of its roof and the number of figurines perched on the roof’s ridges.
Among the more notable landmarks are the Wu (Meridian) Gate, the Hall of Supreme Harmony (Taihedian), and the Imperial Garden (Yuhuayuan). The Wu Gate is the imposing formal southern entrance to the Forbidden City. Its auxiliary wings, which flank the entryway, are outstretched like the forepaws of a guardian lion or sphinx. The gate is also one of the tallest buildings of the complex, standing 125 feet (38 metres) high at its roof ridge. One of its primary functions was to serve as a backdrop for imperial appearances and proclamations. Beyond the Wu Gate lies a large courtyard, 460 feet (140 metres) deep and 690 feet (210 metres) wide, through which the Golden River (Golden Water River) runs in a bow-shaped arc. The river is crossed by five parallel white marble bridges, which lead to the Gate of Supreme Harmony (Taihemen).
North of the Gate of Supreme Harmony lies the Outer Court, heart of the Forbidden City, where the three main administration halls stand atop a three-tiered marble terrace overlooking an immense plaza. The area encompasses some seven acres (three hectares)—enough space to admit tens of thousands of subjects to pay homage to the emperor. Towering above the space stands the Hall of Supreme Harmony, in which the throne of the emperor stands. This hall, measuring 210 by 122 feet (64 by 37 metres), is the largest single building in the compound, as well as one of the tallest (being approximately the same height as the Wu Gate). It was the centre of the imperial court. To the north, on the same triple terrace, stand the Hall of Central (or Complete) Harmony (Zhonghedian) and the Hall of Preserving Harmony (Baohedian), also loci of government functions.
Farther north lies the Inner Court, which contains the three halls that composed the imperial living quarters. Adjacent to these palaces, at the northernmost limit of the Forbidden City, is the 3-acre (1.2-hectare) Imperial Garden, the organic design of which seems to depart from the rigid symmetry of the rest of the compound. The garden was designed as a place of relaxation for the emperor, with a fanciful arrangement of trees, fish ponds, flower beds, and sculpture. In its centre stands the Hall of Imperial Peace (Qin’andian), a Daoist temple where the emperor would retreat for contemplation.
The Forbidden City ceased to be the seat of Qing (Manchu) imperial government with the Chinese Revolution of 1911–12. Although some of the ancient buildings (which had been repaired and rebuilt since the 15th century) were lost to the ravages of the revolution and during the war with Japan (1937–45), the site was maintained as a whole. Puyi, the last Qing emperor, was permitted to live there after his abdication, but he secretly left the palace (and Beijing) in 1924. In the late 20th century several of the palace buildings were restored.
The film The Last Emperor (1987), which portrays the life of Puyi, was filmed in part within the Forbidden City. | 2019-04-19T02:56:43 | https://www.britannica.com/topic/Forbidden-City |
Most YouTube creators never intended to be famous. In fact, many of them started their channels with the intention of sharing their thoughts, beauty tips, and creative endeavors to whoever might be listening. But over time, millions of people have listened, transforming many creators such as Jenna Marbles, John and Hank Green of the Vlog Brothers, and PewDiePie into full-blown celebrities.
But unlike their traditional media counterparts, those YouTubers have won hearts by simply being themselves rather than playing a part. Now, with millions of fans following their every move, creators have begun discussing the need to change their relationship with fans and find a balance that maintains the intimate spirit of YouTube while creating barriers of safety on both sides.
Early last month, popular UK lifestyle and beauty vlogger Louise Pentland, best known for her channel Sprinkle of Glitter, uploaded a video to discuss with fans all the reasons they should not idolize YouTube creators.
Pentland’s video came on the heels of her recent trip to Playlist Live, where she was met with thousands of screaming fans and security line between creators and their subscribers. Her overwhelming interactions with fans lead Pentland to bravely ask the questions on many creators’ minds: What is the best way for creators and fans to interact that is safe, is efficient, and doesn’t lose the personal spirit of YouTube?
While many fans claim to have fallen in love with these YouTubers, creators have set out to remind viewers that their lives are not perfect. Rather, they’re simply presenting the best version of themselves—with the rest of the footage left on the proverbial cutting-room floor.
People ask me if i’m a celebrity … and the answer is no. I’m not. I just make videos that [lots] of people like to watch. Does that mean that it’s okay for groups of girls to sit outside my house and wait for me to leave, or to ring my doorbell multiple times? I’m not sure it does. Does that mean I am able to perfectly handle walking into a room at an event or a meet and greet to be greeted by a wall of screams? No, I’m still not quite used to that one either haha!
As Sugg writes, there are very few YouTubers who originally set out to make content in the name of being famous. And years later, these same YouTubers have become some of the most subscribed, well-known names in new media.
The need to redefine these relationships is not just to provide more privacy and safety for creators; it’s important for fans as well. Earlier this year, allegations of sexual abuse were made against YouTube musicians Alex Day and Tom Milsom, who were accused of taking advantage of their celebrity status and their fans’ trust. These allegations quickly spurred conversations about consent and the need for both YouTubers and fans to engage in healthy, respectful relationships. Moving forward, where do things go from here?
Sugg is just one of many YouTubers, including Hank Green, Carrie Hope Fletcher, and Charlie McDonnell, who have come forward to continue Pentland’s conversation in both their own videos or in the comment section of hers. While few answers have been discovered, McDonnell suggests the solution is more respect on both sides of the security line.
For all the videos on the topic, check out McDonnell’s playlist here. | 2019-04-24T22:28:37 | https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/youtube-celebrity-culture-debate/ |

Book for Children: Mavis, the Japanese Boy called Ryo and the Magical World of Shimabara – Japanese Art, Books, Culture, Gifts, and Publishing.
The intriguing world of adorable birds and animals fused with aspects of Japanese and British culture. This comes together in the magical world of Shimabara where elements of Shintoism exist near the dangerous Dark Northern Forest. Therefore, Mavis the Magical Dog and the Japanese Boy Called Ryo is a really fresh approach aimed at cultural awareness.
Mavis and the Magic Curtain: The Little Boy Ryo and the World of Shimabara (http://www.lulu.com/shop/lee-jay-walker/mavis-and-the-magic-curtain/paperback/product-22839176.html) is a book that focuses on a child developing from being nervous because of bullying and then transformed into a magical world with a dog and other animals. The beauty applies to aspects of Japanese culture with an international dimension. Also, no real age limit applies because parents and single parents can read to children, or children can enjoy by themselves from an older age group. Overall, a world of magic, child development, nature, culture, and how all children are special tinged with the need for friendship and understanding.
Overall, a fascinating new book series that focuses on culture, education, friendship, imagination – and the world of magic. It is also interesting to note that many more books are in the pipeline related to this fascinating series. Therefore, it is really intriguing to think about the future development of Mavis the Magical Dog and the Japanese Boy called Ryo. | 2019-04-22T20:25:17 | https://mavisthedog.com/2017/03/03/book-for-children-mavis-the-japanese-boy-called-ryo-and-the-magical-world-of-shimabara/ |
Racism is but one of the largest problems in our society. It is used in so many different ways that many people are not aware. When will there be an end to this, many of us may wonder. In my opinion, it will go on forever. There does not seem to be too many people who really want to put an end to this controversy. Most of us do not realize how serious racism is and what it is doing to our society. In addition, if people do not begin to realize the seriousness of racism, it just may go on forever.
Blacks continue to struggle for equality and freedom, many racist whites feel that blacks does not deserve to live as well as them. They do not want to see them accomplish anything. Moreover, they will do whatever it takes so that blacks will not succeed. Instead of blacks standing up for themselves and making it their life dream to accomplish something, many of them settle for less.
Although we have to work harder to make our dreams reality, it is worth the time and effort.
During the year of 1995, there was a Million Man March held in Washington D.C. This was the largest black march ever. There were buses arranged to transport our black men to and from, the black women supported them. Although this was only for the men and there was some that were unable to attend, they previewed it live on television. This along with other black movements will go down in history.

the winter time when it's cold, wet, windy... We don't want to go anywhere except maybe just to the nearest pub, cinema or restaurant. Less movement, heavier food, fewer vegetables and frozen fruit that has lost its nutrition and vitamins.In both seasons our bodies and health systems start to struggle with what we are doing.
Summer brings more toxins, winter more fat and weight gain.Honey therapy helps us with our well-being. Honey is known as a natural antibiotic and booster for almost everything. We use it when we want something sweet instead of refined sugar, when we are cold or have flu, for cooking, for face and hair masks etc. Honey contains vitamins, trace enzymes, amino acids, and minerals like calcium, iron, sodium chlorine, phosphate, and potassium.
But how does it work as a massage therapy for our body?
Massage with honey has been known since ancient times to clean up the human organism. The massage acts on a deep level through the skin pores, the toxins and waste collected during the years are extracted with this treatment. It's a tonic to strengthen the immune system which recovers the ability to fight disease and along with it many benefits for good health in general. Honey therapy can reduce allergies, depression, insomnia, back pain, anorexia, migraine, rheumatism, skin problems and more.
These benefits are gained through manual massage on the back using flower honey with no sugar and a specific massage technique. The duration of the massage is between 15 and 20 minutes. The honey replaces the extracted toxins with vitamins and minerals needed to boost our immune system.For a full detox honey therapy is recommended at two points in the year for a duration of 20 days consecutively.
In Autumn during the months of September and October which prepares us for winter and again in Spring during the months of April and May for the upcoming summertime. For a health boost honey therapy can be used once a week and as a prophylactic once a month. | 2019-04-19T19:16:03 | https://www.mjkry.com/l/honey-therapy-what-why-when/ |

Nitrosigine® Revolution™ is a patented complex of inositol bonded arginine silicate. It is scientifically engineered to significantly boost nitric oxide levels, delivering benefits to those engaged in fitness training programs.
The studies have shown that Nitrosigine® is superior to standard arginine - doubling muscle pumps and increases in cellular swelling. Nitrosigine® has been shown to increase arginine levels in as quickly as 30 minutes and can last up to 5 hours – after just a single dose!
Arginine (Nitrosigine) is a precursor to nitric oxide and expands blood vessels to optimize blood flow. Silicate is contained within the walls of the arteries to help maintain their structural integrity. Inositol is a stress reliever and insulin sensitizer.
Studies have shown Nitrosigine is more effective than other supplemental forms of arginine.
Q: How should I take Nitrosigine?
A: As a dietary supplement, take 1 serving (two capsules) with water or beverage of your choice 30 minutes before your workout or in the morning on off days.
Q: What other MuscleSport raw products do you recommend stacking with Nitrosigine?
A: We recommend stacking Nitrosigine with Agmatine Sulfate and Citrulline Malate for a great non-stim pump concoction.

Increasingly, search engines are adopting paid submission. A submission plan takes advantage of this by leveraging elements of Inclusion programs. Some search engines give higher relevancy to sites they find themselves or in one of the topic specific or reviewed directories. A submission plan takes advantage of these boosters.
First off we generate our own electrical leads for our client/partners in local markets. Each and every lead we generate for you is an exclusive electrical lead, this means only you will benefit from this quality customer. We do not sell leads to multiple electrical contractors, this method of one lead per customer provides you with the highest quality lead and at the same time you are not having to deal with other electricians trying to sell your customer, there is no race to see who can give the lowest price for the electrical project. You maintain your margins while at the same time creating goodwill with the customer as they are not receiving numerous calls from other electricians.
What most cookie-cutter SEO firms do is that they’ll develop budget friendly as well as low quality back links from abroad to your internet site or go with moderate, dull back links that won’t obtain any sort of results.
This is the address associated with a business and how it relates to a Google zone or neighborhood. Are you on the edge of a zone? Then if you just place your address in a citation box you may market to people 10 blocks away, but not the people who are one block away but on the ‘other side’ of Google’s border.
It starts with search advertising built specifically for your business. You don’t need the middleman of a lead generation company doing this advertising for you (and all your competition at the same time). With contractor SEO management, you can get visibility on search for your business that clicks through directly to your website.
As an SEO specialist, you have various career paths open to you. You’ll generally start in a junior role on an internship and then move to SEO executive. As your career progresses you may become an SEO manager or account manager, then head of SEO to head of digital. However, you could equally move from SEO executive to a copywriter role and move into a broader digital marketing route earlier on.
Continuing professional development (CPD) is important in SEO work due to the fast-moving developments in emerging technologies. It’s possible to take a range of short courses to help with this, such those offered by CIM, IDM, Emarketeers and JellyFish Training.
Quality Control. Quality control the digital marketing team’s output. Confirm tasks are successfully completed based upon roles and responsibilities agreed upon, assuring full accountability and execution of plans. As an example: QC after a new site launch. | 2019-04-24T22:19:20 | http://theseoguysblog.info/seo-specialist-florida/2018/07/ |

If ever there was a man who was meticulous about paperwork, that was my father. Until the onset of dementia, he knew where every piece of paper was filed, every bill, every document. About five years ago he told me I would have to sort out his papers once he died. Knowing his predilection for tidiness, I didn’t think much more about this – until he died and I took stock of the enormity of the task.
After getting rid of decades of utility bills, holiday receipts and car repair invoices, I was left with around 20 box files full of documents to sort out. And then I had a thought: could I finally find an answer to a question I had asked my father years ago and to which I had only received a rather enigmatic reply.
The question? Why hadn’t dad taken his new bride back to Paris in 1947 where he could have continued his accountancy career? Why did he choose to stay in England and work first as an unskilled tailor’s presser for 15 years and then as a telephone operator for a further 20 years until retirement?
Zaida was my mum’s father (long dead at the point I asked the question) and I remember the look on dad’s face as he said this to me and the disparaging glance my mother cast him as he said it. We never discussed this again. Years later, dad had a conversation with my wife where he mentioned that he had secured a flat in Paris after the war but that his father-in-law had told him that as mum was an only child he would not allow her to go and live in France.
A little background. Dad was born in Paris in 1919, the youngest of five siblings. Along with their Turkish parents, they all lived in a two-bedroom flat in Rue Sedaine in the area renowned for its Jewish schmutter trade – Paris’ equivalent of London’s East End. I remember dad telling me he had trained to be an accountant before the war. Aside from that and the knowledge that he had worked for Dunlop as a tyre fitter when war broke out, we never spoke about his childhood or the pre-war years.
When dad took early retirement from British Telecom in 1981, he investigated the possibility of obtaining a French pension for his work before the war and for his service to his country. I found the handwritten document where he had listed his occupations and this confirmed four years as an aide comptable (accounting assistant). He had served his apprenticeship with two companies (Maison Bocquet and Robert Frères) in Paris between 1935 and 1939. He certainly had a viable career to return to.
As a Frenchman and so technically an ‘alien’, dad had to carry his Certificate of Registration book with him in England after the war. Finding this gave me more info. After being demobbed in Paris, he was granted permission to land at Dover some 13 days before his wedding in March 1947 with a two-month limitation on stay and a preclusion of employment. Both of these were lifted a month later making him free to live and work in the UK. Reading letters, it appears that a business venture fell through. With a new bride and badly needing employment, he took a job as a ‘gents presser’ with Cohen Cassenbaum, my grandfather’s tailor shop in Whitechapel, later that month.
While my father’s English would not have been perfect, evening classes for his language and to update his accountancy skills would have been possible. But they never happened. He worked for his father-in-law 10 hours a day, six days a week until 1964.
In summer 1948 my grandfather bought a house for my parents at auction. He paid the deposit and obtained the mortgage, taking the payment for the latter directly from my father’s weekly wages. And as a young child I remember the regular Sunday visits from my grandparents and the delivery of meat, fruit and veg for the week ahead. Later, I found out that this was also in place of wages to my father. The upshot of this was that my father had very little disposable income and was totally reliant on, or at the mercy of, his father-in-law. This continued for almost 20 years until my grandfather’s death in 1967.
I also found the deeds to my parents’ house. Looking through the conveyancing I had to check the entries twice to make sure I’d read them correctly. In 1948 the house had been put into two names: my mother and my grandmother. For 20 years my father paid the mortgage and every bill and yet didn’t own so much as a brick.
Another document showed that a month prior to the wedding, and while dad was still in Paris, my mother signed away her rights to take automatic French nationality after she married. I took that to mean she didn’t want to live in France.
The control exerted over dad was complete. No equity from his own home coupled with insufficient income to build meaningful savings and a wife who wanted to stay in the UK meant he never had the opportunity to return to what would have been a better life in France. The fact that he put himself through 35 years of mundane employment was due to his total devotion and love for my mother.
But is that the full story?
Prior to the British Nationality Act of 1948 there was no dual nationality in this scenario. To take French nationality Mum would have had to relinquish her British nationality, a decision she wouldn’t have taken lightly just after the war. And as an alien, could my father have obtained a mortgage? Even if he could have, given his earnings potential what bank would have given him such a loan?
At least I now partly understand my father’s ‘blackmail’ comment and his frustrations with life. Whether he was right I’ll never really know. | 2019-04-23T08:29:09 | https://viclennard.wordpress.com/2015/10/ |

Originally, this last blog of 2015 was long winded about why as a child I was relegated to dishwasher duty. I am messy in the kitchen. Also there had been a paragraph or two about the number of people packed into my parents 4 bedroom bungalow for a week. It’s squishy and a little like camping only with a functioning kitchen and bathrooms. If camping were only this organized, warm and dry!
But none of those stories are as funny as the stories I am collecting from spending 7 days hanging out, in some form, with my nieces and nephews.
We just celebrated my birthday. It’s fun celebrating surrounded by kids who love any excuse to be celebrating. I baked a cake for the event and decided it would be fun to have my nieces and nephews ice it.
This was my idea and as I began setting up to make the icing, oddly everyone above the age of 10 disappeared from the vacinity of the kitchen.
Standing in the kitchen with my 5 little helpers all vying for attention, all wanting to be part of mixing the icing, two were arguing, two were pushing their chairs around the kitchen, colliding with each other and the 5th was cutely grunting something I couldn’t understand.
Arranging the two fellas colliding was easy, next was refereeing the argument.
Behind me the two little boys were getting restless. Dancing on their chairs, poking the bag of icing sugar.
Not 5 minutes into our baking adventure and I was already not sure we’d all make it through unscathed.
New found respect for parents everywhere, how do they do this 24/7?!
The icing did get made, the cake did get iced however, before all that happened and 10 minutes into my adventure my sister stepped into the kitchen to give some tips on hardening up the icing. I handed her my mixing bowl, relieved her of my niece in her arms and scooted out of the kitchen.
Recently, I took my two nieces on a little road trip. They are at the perfect age where they want to be involved in what the adults are doing, even if it’s just eavesdropping.
Ahh, do I remember! A birthday gift from Grandma. An Arts & Crafts project that I was elected to help supervise that turned into me putting together the Yorkshire terrier yarn dog itself. The instructions for the craft looked simple enough but simple instructions don’t always translate to a simple, well-crafted project! Auntie D’s Yorkshire terrier yarn dog in no way resembled the picture in the instructions booklet. “I wish Grandma were here, she’d be able to make this better than you!” the same youngest niece had flatly informed me as I fumbled with 5 stray strands of yarn that went flying across the living room floor. You get the picture of what the yarn dog ended up looking like? And how my niece felt about the final product? A big lump of indistinguishable yarn!
“Of course, what did you name it?” I asked expecting an answer.
Complete silence from the backseat.
You know when two chatty ladies go completely silent, SOMETHING is going on. I tried thinking up a logical scenario for such silence and couldn’t imagine a suitable reason.
The youngest continued in her silence and I could only imagine she was making faces at her sister.
“OK, ok I will tell her for you, I will tell auntie D what you called your yarn dog,” she reiterated for emphasis, maybe even for approval.
More hesitation and a long pause.
“She called him MATZ**!” my eldest niece exclaimed loudly but firmly. There was no joking in her voice, simply a sense of urgency to get a terrible message out and then retreat as far back into her seat as possible.
I burst out laughing! I could hear the relief from the backseat of the car.
“He just looked like a Matz,” my youngest niece said flatly, no expression.
And so if the Yorkshire terrier yarn dog is any indication of what a Matz looks like, it is indistinguishable, misshapen, and poorly crafted!!
**Name changed. Why so funny? He was someone I had been seeing a year ago. I am not sure if my nieces were concerned that I would be upset at the choice of name? Or perhaps the youngest just really thinks her yarn dog looks like a human being. Needless, it was important for her to let me know of her Yorkshire terrier yarn dogs name and that in itself is really funny.
We are all well aware of Bat Man, Cat Woman but move over Bat Girl has arrived in town!
I love my niece’s and nephew primarily for how ridiculous they can be and funny.
It is important to know Bat Girl is on the loose today. My favourite part of the outfit are the yellow gloves.
So in other news, I spent the other day at the mall with another little munchkin. She’s a good little shopper but has decided malls are best for playing tag and hide and seek.
And off she’d dance circles around me trying to get me to run.
Instead of tag we settled for throwing pennies in the water fountain. I only had one penny, I know why didn’t I come prepared!! But that’s ok because it is fully acceptable to reach into the water and get the penny for a second, third, fourth, fifth throw. On the umpteenth throw the penny landed in with it’s friends. This is when the penny throwing came to an abrupt end.
We were also chewing gum that day. Its a big girl thing to do but after chewing for an hour she decided to spit it out.
And off she darted to dispose of her gum.
And with that she opened her mouth wide so I could smell her fresh minty mouth. | 2019-04-22T01:00:46 | https://ecitygirl.com/tag/nieces/ |

Fresh fruit and Veggie juices?
Each morning I make a fresh juice with 1 apple, 1 heart of romaine, 5-6 carrots, and ginger. I would love to log the nutrients in this juice but I can't find the stats of it anywhere -- it's not the same as pasteurized juices! Any tips?
You can try googling info for homemade juice, or just log it as 100% juice in the volume you end up with for the apple and carrot juices. I can't imagine that the calorie count of pasteurized 100% juice is that different from unpasteurized. I don't know that you'll find anything for the juice from the romaine or ginger, but the calorie count for those is next to nothing. Good luck! | 2019-04-24T16:03:42 | https://www.fitday.com/fitness/forums/fitday-custom-foods/1489-fresh-fruit-veggie-juices.html |
The song mirrors the year of 1989. We restored an electric 1975 ‘Kofferharmonium’ which sounds like a reed organ and rejoice at each sound of this extraordinary relic from Klingenthal.
You can hear each breath this elderly comrade takes, highlighted by the empathic sounds of Sebastian’s cello. Friendship!

Now that Shavuot has come to an end (well, for those of us in Israel, anyway), the complete cycle of my first year as a Jew has also drawn to a close. I have been fortunate enough to have my first experiences as a Jew with every one of our holidays in the Holy Land, which is really something special. Not every new Jew gets to jump on an El Al flight just weeks after conversion to live in Jerusalem. I guess there's no better way to make sure that you've joined the correct tribe than to live among the natives.
Shavuot holds a special place in my heart. It may not be as fun as Purim is, what with all its booze, encouraged public drunkenness, costumes and acting a fool in shul by blotting out Hamon's name as we recount the story of Esther. It may not be as profound as Yom Kippur, when we fast the day away, admit to our flaws and sins, and seek forgiveness from everyone we've wronged and from the King of Kings Himself, wiping the slate clean for another year. It may not be as significant and grandiose as Pesach, as we recount the story of overcoming slavery with the guidance of the hand of the divine over our chametz-free seder tables. And it's certainly not as odd and quirky as Succot, as we dwell in Sukkahs out in our yards or on our patios, shaking the four species in all cardinal directions (during my conversion, as I was discussing the difficulty of explaining Jewish practices to the people in my life who were wondering just what kind of people I've joined, an Orthodox rabbi friend of mine told me, "Just wait until you get to Succot. Invite them over for dinner in the little hut that you've built out in your driveway while you shake a bundle of branches and a citron around, and they'll think you've joined some bizarre cult)." But Shavuot has all of the aspects I look for in a chag: all night text study on a caffeine buzz with my fellow Jews, lots of dairy foods, including the heavenly taste of cheesecake, and the recounting of the story of Ruth. As a convert, I identity with and look up to the Moabite lady-turned Jewish. They said it couldn't (shouldn't?) be done, but Ruth defied the status quo, transcended ethnic and religious boundaries, and provided part of the lineage of the glorious Kind David. And of course, Shavuot commemorates the giving of the Torah--God's gift to the Jews.
With all of this text study and deep consideration of Torah, Shavuot certainly does inspire a multitude of philosophical questions and analytical discussion on all things Jewish. And since the wheels in my head are constantly turning with the momentum of a gushing stream of thoughts and questions about the nature of Judaism and where the Megan-shaped piece of the puzzle fits in to it, Shavuot just feeds my need to understand, to analyze, to question, to discover, to ponder--all done over copious amounts of coffee; all in all, it's a chag that pats me on the back for being neurotic and obsessive. The validation is comforting.
Just a few short months ago, I found myself agonizing over the realization of just how complex simply being Jewish is in the modern world, especially in terms of conversion. Nightmares, insomnia, anxiety and tears all plagued me as I considered the possibility of going through another conversion and what that would mean about the way I feel about my Jewishness currently. It's not as though I wasn't aware that a Conservative conversion just isn't going to cut it for some, but when I started to consider where I'd ultimately like to make my home in the world, and where I'd like to rest my bones once this crazy ride called life is over, I started to feel anxious about status as a Jew. Could I make aliyah one day? Can I have a Jewish wedding that will be universally recognized as legitimate? What if I have kids? What about when I die? And furthermore, what do you mean I'm not Jewish?! You might as well say that I'm not Megan.
So I suppose it's appropriate that we ask, for whom was the Torah intended? If Torah is God's gift to the Jewish people, and we are currently living in an unprecedented historical era where the question of who is a Jew has become more complicated than ever before, where does that leave our beloved Torah? If I can claim the the Torah belongs to me just as much as it belongs to any Jew by birth, even when there are plenty among those who I consider to be my fellow Jews who would not consider me legitimately one of them, then isn't that a good thing? We may be a non-proselytizing people, and we know that righteous gentiles are included in the World to Come (which is why I believe Judaism to be inclusive on a human scale, not exclusive for our distinction of being chosen), but surely there is something to those of us who want and believe that we are intended to play a role in this world as Jews. After all, Ruth had this realization about herself, and that seemed to work out rather well, right?
Perhaps there is something inherently weird and ultimately paradoxical about the concept of "choosing to be chosen," but I personally think it's a matter of perspective. My understanding of my own Jewish destiny is that I started down a path at a particular point in my life, and after many twists and turns, I found myself in Judaism. I didn't so much become a Jew by choice, as I chose to embrace who I'd become, which ultimately meant being Jewish and living my life as such. Also, I don't believe that God chose the Jewish people over any other people on the earth other than to play a particular role in this existence. If I'm going to meet up with my gentile family in the World to Come because they get a piece of God's glory in the end too, and if I understand that as a Jew, I'm obligated in my humility to not mistreat others, including the gentiles, the converts, the widowed, the orphaned, the poor, and my fellow Jews as well, then that says something to me about the nature of choice. Choosing an action over another one includes more than just the action; it includes accepting the subsequent consequences that action as well, whatever they may be. And since we are beings of free will, both blessed and cursed with the ability to choose, then I chose to embrace this life as a Jew, knowing that it can be a very complicated existence. It's up to God whether He chose me or not, but He chose me for something, just as He chooses every soul for something, otherwise we wouldn't be here. What we do with the divine gift of our lives, is up to us.
As I walked home this morning from the Old City after Shacharit at the Kotel, my exhausted mind reflected on my all night study marathon, and my stream of consciousness looked something like this (mind you, it was about 6:30 in the morning): "I'm so hungry; I have to get home; Wow, that was so cool, all of us at the Kotel at sunrise; I'm so happy with life right now; I want more cheesecake; Angels, humans and God--divinity and flaw, divinity within flaw...hmmm...; I can't wait until I can write down what that rabbi said at his shiur; I'm so happy that I became Jewish...hey. I'm in Jerusalem still. Wow." This is the state of mind of someone who is happy with the choices she has made.
Yes, I choose Shavuot as my favorite of all our chagim. Not because it's better or more important than the others; it's just special to me in the specific role that it plays for me in my life.
Love your line, "choosing to be chosen." In a way that's what Christians do, too. We chose to be part of the elect and we're elect because God knew in eternity past that we would choose. No doubt He knew what you would chose as well and has included you in "the chosen." | 2019-04-25T18:19:47 | http://lostjlem.blogspot.com/2012/05/shavuot-inspiration-for-converts.html |

I think websites are the way to go these days when it comes to finding (or posting) a job. I have compiled a list of those related to the spa industry.
If you are interested in the executive level, you might consider an executive search firm. One I know well is: Greger-Peterson Associates, Inc. in Portland, Oregon. They specialize in Hospitality and Spa Positions (High Level Only).

There are currently 2 consumer reviews about Tracker Marine available. Share your review.
The Tracker Service Center on Campbell and Sunset, the manager (Jason) is very rude. Went in there to explain to him that the trailer was dragged and had flat spotted the tires on the trailer. He just informed me that there is no way that could have happened. Also stated that they have several tires in their back lot that look just like the pictures that I showed him of our tires and that is due to a bad axle. Tried to explained to him that the axle was check at the time of service but did not want to listen. Told us to go to the sales manger at the main store. Spoke to Jason Baker and he basically said the same thing and did not want to listen to what I had to say. I informed him that I will never take the boat in there again for service and he said OK. I would think that a manager would at least be more pleasant and care more about his customer. Needless to say I will never buy another Track boat again.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi says his country and Switzerland have a "shared priority" in fighting tax evasion and the practice of squirreling away "black money" in Swiss banks.
Modi spoke Monday to reporters alongside Switzerland's president in a brief stop in Geneva as part of a five-country trip. Modi's next stop is Washington.
The Indian leader pointed to "the need for an early and expeditious exchange of information to bring to justice the tax offenders."
President Johann Schneider-Ammann said Switzerland will dispatch a state secretary for international financial matters to India on June 14 to explore tighter cooperation on the matter.
Schneider-Ammann said he and Modi did not discuss any figures about the number of Indian tax evaders or the total value of their assets involving Switzerland.

Incredible Easter Eggs Décor & Fabrication from Around the World!
Apr 18 • Event Decoration & Thematic • 120 Views • No Comments on Incredible Easter Eggs Décor & Fabrication from Around the World!
While you were scoping out your spring break destinations, we bet you totally forgot to research the holiday traditions of those faraway locales. Easter’s right around the corner, and it turns out we’re not the only ones obsessed with event decoration fabrication and the making of those beautiful Eggs. So while following up with décor & fabrication news for Easter, we’re sharing some of the prettiest and most decorative Easter eggs from across the globe. Hold on to your Easter basket and get ready to take a trip around the world in 10 decorated eggs.
1. Japan: If we are to think Japan, then the event decoration fabrication mission would go for pasting dark red, blue, black and white strips of paper onto the egg to make the design.
2. Czech Republic: Emitting an ambiance for your Easter with Décor & fabrication to reflect Eastern Europe culture is very brilliant. This master egg decorating technique requires weaving different thin metal wires around empty egg shells.
3. Poland: Using a sharp knife to scratch pictures into eggs doesn’t seem like the easiest way to decorate them, but that’s exactly how they do it in Poland.
4. Switzerland: The Swiss believe that wells are a source of life. Since Easter is celebrating new life, it makes sense that they go for decorating their wells with Easter eggs.
5. Egypt: Eating colored, boiled eggs is an Easter tradition that dates back all the way to the Pharaohs. Using vegetables to color the eggs gives them an extra little oomph in taste.
6. Mexico: Easter confetti? That’s what these eggs from Mexico provide. They’re called “Cascarones”, and they’re so much fun to smash on your friends’ heads.
7. Germany: In some parts of Germany, you’ll see that some kind of trees are absolutely covered in colored Easter eggs. We think we can apply this to some event decoration fabrication around Easter here!
8. South Africa: The famous “Diepkloof” egg that was decorated probably 60,000 years ago is still displaying its beauty today. In South Africa, Easter event’s decoration fabrication reveal some of the 270 fragments of engraved ostrich egg that archaeologists have collected from years of excavation at the Diepkloof Rock Shelter in South Africa.
9. Canada: Definitely we are talking about the giant egg that is found in Alberta, Canada. It’s actually the largest in the world, and it’s found in Alberta, Canada.
10. Slovenia: If you want to see some next-level egg decorating, check out these Slovenian masters, who carve out designs from empty eggshells. Amazing ideas that can light up your Easter event decoration fabrication like few can.

In short, I got to pay if I want information about jobs. There are free phones provided down at the JobCentres but they are no good as they don’t provide minicoms or offer to call on my behalf. I have to go home and pay to find out more details for jobs through JobSeeker Helpline. But this is another matter, which deserve a post on its own.
Anyway, tt has come to my attention that BT are offering free 0845 and 0870 calls if you are on the Anytime plan. So, preparing to abandon Virgin Media, I set out to find out more information whether these free calls will ring true if I use TextDirect prefix of 18001 before calling out. My first port of call – BT Customer Services……..
Gee – thanks a bunch, British Telcom!!! It is short-sighted of them to not to include TextDirect calls on this plan, considering that TextDirect service belongs to them.
Undeterred, I will give that “colleague” a call and will keep you informed on my progress. | 2019-04-25T02:26:31 | http://saltbar.co.uk/anytime-anyone-except-you/ |

Though it has been 50 years since a mill dumped mercury upstream from Grassy Narrows First Nation, the reserve’s children are showing troubling signs that the neurotoxin is still poisoning the community.
Children whose mothers ate fish at least once a week while pregnant are four times more likely to have a learning disability or nervous system disorder that is slowing their efforts in school, says new research led by a leading mercury expert. Those kids were compared to Grassy Narrows children whose mothers hardly ever ate fish.
Dr. Donna Mergler and a team of scientists surveyed the families of 350 children ages 4 to 17. The research is part of an ongoing, comprehensive study that has already revealed the adults of Grassy Narrows report higher rates of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts compared to other First Nations adults.
During the 1960s, the Dryden pulp and paper mill, operated by Reed Paper, dumped 10 tonnes of mercury into the Wabigoon River that feeds Grassy Narrows downstream. The mill was using the mercury to bleach paper. The mercury contaminated the walleye downstream and poisoned the people who ate the fish. They developed tremors, slurred speech, impaired hearing and tunnel vision, and lost muscle co-ordination.
The robust fishing tourism industry, especially at famous Ball Lake Lodge, was decimated. The commercial fishermen and guides went on welfare.
The new research is another strong indication that the dumped mercury — pollution that officials for years said would fade away — is still a problem.
Over the past two years, the Star and scientists have revealed that fish downstream near Grassy Narrows remain the most contaminated in the province, that there is mercury-contaminated soil and river sediment at or near the site of the old mill, and the provincial government knew in the 1990s that mercury was visible in soil under that site and never told anyone in Grassy Narrows or nearby Wabaseemoong (Whitedog) Independent Nations. Scientists strongly suspect that old mercury still contaminates the mill site and is polluting the river.
Parents or caregivers responded to the lengthy survey about their kids between December 2016 and March 2017.
The effort was spearheaded by community leaders and Mergler, a mercury expert at Université du Québec à Montréal. It was funded by Health Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-term Care.
The adult survey was supported by records of mercury levels in hair, blood and umbilical cord blood. Those same adults answered questions about their children for this survey.
It shows that Grassy Narrows children age four to 11 have a higher reported rate of ear infections, speech problems and learning disabilities compared to that reported by parents of other First Nations children. Grassy teens are struggling in school, with shorter attention spans than other First Nations teens, the research found.
This comparison is possible because the adult and children surveys were adapted from an older 2008 and 2010 survey that had been given to 12,000 people in First Nations communities across Canada.
Mergler has told the Star that the Grassy Narrows surveys were significant because “it’s the first time that there has been a population-based study of the community that links fish consumption to health outcomes and that looks at the difference between Grassy Narrows and other First Nation communities.
She has said that the survey shows the river must be remediated to protect future generations and that the community needs bolstered health care and education resources.
A report on the survey’s findings recommended that a learning centre be set up to give information on mercury’s impact on a developing fetus and child. It also called for more supports for children, including a full-time child psychologist and speech therapy programs, as well as a community kitchen that serves uncontaminated food. Finally, the report urged officials to revisit the current guidelines on walleye consumption as damage could be occurring at levels lower than previously believed.
At least 10 per cent of all Grassy Narrows teens have anxiety or depression.
The children of mothers who ate fish at least once a month during pregnancy are twice as likely to have visual problems and three times more likely to have chronic ear infections, compared to children of Grassy Narrows mothers who hardly or never ate fish during pregnancy.
Two-thirds of children and youth eat bannock and walleye, traditional foods, with half eating walleye at least a few times during the past year.
92 per cent of the children whose pregnant mothers ate fish at least once a week had a grandfather who was a fishing guide.
The likelihood of these grandchildren of fishing guides having been in the care of child and family services is five times greater than those whose grandfather was not a fishing guide.
“The tradition and culture of fishing and fish consumption have been passed down from one generation to the next,” the report said. “However, since the 1970s, so, too, has the loss of the traditional economy, unemployment and sickness. Fishing guides and their familes were the most highly exposed to mercury and the first to lose their jobs.
Last year, the provincial government committed $85 million to clean up the river and the federal government has pledged to help build a mercury care home that will help some of the sickest residents. The clean-up work has not yet begun, though experts are conducting research to determine how to best remediate the river.
And this year the province retroactively indexed payments from the Mercury Disability Board to inflation. The board, which was set up during the 1980s to compensate those who can demonstrate symptoms consistent with mercury poisoning, had long been criticized as being inadequate. Roughly 70 per cent of applicants had been turned down for compensation. Earlier this year, the board’s longtime neurologist quit after an allegation of bias. The doctor said he had done no wrong and wanted an apology, and when he did not get one, he said, he quit.
The new research also found signs that the children of Grassy Narrows are active despite their significant challenges.
More than two-thirds of all children and youth participate in community-organized cultural events, and 88 per cent of children swim, jog or mountain bike.
Many of the teens of Grassy Narrows have participated in logging blockades and marches to protest governmment inaction on the mercury contamination. Their song “Home to me” has more than a quarter-million views on youtube, the website says.
“Our youth are brave and talented people who have overcome great obstacles to leave their mark on Canada,” said Chief Rudy Turtle. “But every day they face the legacies of mercury, colonialism, and residential schools, so it is an uphill battle for them. They deserve to have a good life and to enjoy themselves like other youth do, without having to fight again and again for basic fairness. | 2019-04-21T08:41:58 | https://www.thestar.com/news/investigations/2018/12/05/children-of-grassy-narrows-have-higher-reported-rates-of-health-problems-learning-disabilities.html |
Plan of the lower floor of Jagannatha Sabha, Cave XXXIII, at Ellora from James Burgess' 'Original Drawings [of] Elura Cave Temples Brahmanical and Jaina, IIII.' The spectacular site of Ellora is famous for its series of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain cave temples excavated into the rocky façade of a cliff of basalt. The works were done under the patronage of the Kalachuri, the Chalukya and the Rashtrakuta dynasties between the 6th and the 9th Centuries. Jagannatha Sabha is one of a group of five Jain caves dating to the 9th Century excavated under Rashtrakuta patronage to the north of the site. The façade of this red granite rock cave consists of an architrave supported by heavy columns with cushion capitals and ridged shafts with animal brackets. | 2019-04-19T23:21:57 | http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/apac/other/019wdz000002217u00056000.html |

Zostavax is a vaccine manufactured by Merck & Co. intended to protect consumers from shingles. However, eighteen people from close to a dozen states have launched a product liability action against Merck in a New Jersey state court claiming they suffered serious medical problems after receiving the Zostavax inoculation, reports Law360.
The plaintiffs allege that each of them contracted a persistent strain of the disease, leading in some instances to postherpetic neuralgia. Postherpetic neuralgia is a complication of shingles, which is caused by the chickenpox (herpes zoster) virus. It affects nerve fibers and skin, causing burning pain that lasts long after the rash and blisters of shingles disappear, according to the Mayo Clinic. The plaintiffs also maintained that Merck neglected to alert them about the potential risks associated with the Zostavax vaccine.
On July 11, the lawsuit was filed in Middlesex County Superior Court, and states that the New Jersey-based company knew or should have known that Zostavax could cause side effects, including a viral infection. The lawsuit went on to allege that Merck did not adequately warn customers and health care providers about such risks. In addition, Merck knew or should have been aware of a safer alternative to the vaccine, the lawsuit states.
“If the plaintiffs were equipped with the knowledge of the defective condition and potential harms of the Zostavax vaccine, they would not have purchased it and agreed to have it injected into their body,” the lawsuit says.
Merck minimized the serious and dangerous side effects of its product to promote sales of the product, as a result, the lawsuits states, Merck placed its profits above its customers’ safety.
National law firm Parker Waichman LLP has extensive experience and success in representing clients in pharmaceutical litigation. Attorneys at the firm are available to answer questions for anyone seeking legal information for a potential lawsuit.
The eighteen plaintiffs are from Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Florida, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Michigan, and New Hampshire, the lawsuit notes. Along with Merck and a subsidiary, the defendants include a nurse who was employed by the company, and distributor McKesson Corporation. Similar litigation against Merck over Zostavax is pending in Pennsylvania federal court.
Zostavax is a stronger, more potent version of Merck’s chickenpox vaccine Varivax, and contains live latent varicella zoster virus whose virulence (ability to cause disease), is reduced or “attenuated,” states the lawsuit.
There have been a substantial number of reports involving Zostavax since the drug’s debut in 2006. The reports were made to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, the lawsuit notes. There had been 1,111 submissions of serious adverse event reports received regarding the vaccine as of September 2015, including 36 deaths, the lawsuits states.
Drug manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline has been developing a non-living shingles vaccine known as Shingrix. This drug would be a safer alternative to Zostavax that Merck should have had knowledge of, according to the plaintiffs.
‘In early state testing [Shingrix] has demonstrated clinical efficacy that far surpasses Zastovox, and does not pose any risks of reactivation that a live attenuated vaccine carries,” states the lawsuit.
The patient information sheet, label and prescribing information distributed with Zostavax, according to the lawsuit, did not sufficiently address the risk of viral infection and the risk of interactions between Zostavax and other common vaccines. Receiving any two such vaccines too closely together may decrease the efficacy of Zostavax, states the lawsuit.
Also, Merck failed to warn consumers that the effectiveness of Zostavax allegedly wanes over time, according to the suit. “The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published that the Zostavax vaccine wanes in efficacy within five years, having almost no remaining preventative effects after seven years. This allegation is not included on any labeling or packaging literature to alert users of decreased efficacy of the vaccine with time,” the lawsuit states.
If you or someone you know suffered illness associated with adverse effects related to Zostavax, you may be eligible for compensation. Parker Waichman LLP offers free, no-obligation case evaluations.

Historically, the pay-per-views between the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania have a tendency to get lost in the shuffle. Sure, last year both world titles changed hands in that stretch, as Bray Wyatt won the WWE championship and Goldberg took home the Universal title, but both of those outcomes were right in line with expectations for what was to come at WrestleMania 33.
Over the past three weeks, Monday Night Raw has done a tremendous job in making the Elimination Chamber feel like more than just a final hurdle for the favorites to leap before reaching WrestleMania -- there's plenty on the line, and while certain conclusions feel inevitable, over the course of the next two weeks WrestleMania 34 will go from a blank canvas to a far clearer picture.
Monday's edition of Raw hammered home all the points it set out to make, in a three-plus hour block that reminded fans how good the WWE can be when they're clicking on all cylinders on the road to WrestleMania. There was a comfortable familiarity in revisiting Miz vs. John Cena and Sasha Banks vs. Bayley after a long time away from those pairings, cohesive and interconnected storylines throughout the women's division and Braun Strowman innovating with his methods of destruction and terror yet again. Oh, and Ronda Rousey will be in attendance in Las Vegas to sign a contract and officially join the Raw roster.
And then there's the main event qualifying match for the final spot inside of the Elimination Chamber, which went from a Fatal 4-Way to a Fatal 5-Way to include Seth Rollins, ended in a double pin and led to both Rollins and Finn Balor qualifying for what's now the first-ever seven-man Elimination Chamber match.
With seven weeks of Monday Night Raw to go until WrestleMania, if WWE can maintain a pace and cohesion even mostly comparable to what we got on Monday night, the journey to WrestleMania 34 will be an absolute treat.
Before Raw began, Balor was the prohibitive favorite to walk away with the final spot in the Elimination Chamber, but with Jason Jordan sidelined and nowhere else for Rollins to go, Kurt Angle dropped him into the second chance qualifier.
Despite five guys heading in different directions, there was plenty of history to build off of and a dynamic enough difference in styles to make the match a frenetically-paced 20-minute race to the finish. While it was disappointing that the timing of the final match was such that fans at home missed the first three or four minutes of action, a sadly familiar feeling with TV main events, diving right in offered an opportunity to get right into the meat of the match.
Keeping everything moving while not doing too much at once is a real challenge with five different individuals in play, but the action moved seamlessly from pairing to pairing and spot to spot. Rollins revisited history with Wyatt and Balor, Matt Hardy and Wyatt kept their simmering rivalry moving and Apollo Crews continued to prove he's worthy of a second chance in the spotlight with dizzying spots and acrobatic delights.
Everybody had their chance to shine, culminating in a Rollins missed Phoenix splash, a Wyatt missed Sister Abigail, a Matt Hardy Twist of Fate, a Balor Coup de Grace and a Rollins Blackout on Balor to lay everyone out. Crews hit both a standing moonsault and a standing shooting star press with particular vigor, only to get two-counts on both occasions, and played a minor part in the ultimate finale of the match.
As Crews sat slumped atop the turnbuckle, Wyatt, having disposed of Hardy on the outside with a Sister Abigail, went to hit a superplex. Balor and Rollins raced over and hit a double powerbomb to complete the "tower of doom" and both exhausted men collapsed on top of Wyatt as the referee counted to three.
Raw went off the air in confusion, but in a Facebook Live video after the broadcast went off the air on USA, Angle put both men in the match and made it a seven-way contest.
Will it begin with three combatants? Is there enough utility in the construction to tack on another pod? Or will someone hilariously be shoved in and forced to share a pod with Braun Strowman? Only time will tell.
Bayley won the Raw women's championship and successfully defended it at WrestleMania in 2017, but since joining the Raw roster in August 2016, it's felt like something's been missing. She's had some great individual performances, and some heartbreaking moments at the hands of Alexa Bliss, but without her greatest adversary, Bayley hadn't quite reached the level she'd enjoyed at her peak in NXT.
Bayley teamed with Sasha Banks on a number of occasions, and competed in a number of multi-woman matches, but with the exception of a single one-on-one match almost a year ago, the two women who brought NXT to an entirely different frontier at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn in 2015 hadn't faced off one-on-one since their NXT women's championship Iron Man match in October 2015.
In a single night, and in one match, Bayley and Banks sent out a clear reminder that their matches together are as great an attraction as anything else that could happen in the WWE's women's divisions at this moment. They slipped almost immediately back into where they left off, and the edge that Bayley found over the course of this match was the missing piece of the puzzle. Her clotheslines, suplexes and everything she hit was sharper, showing off an aggression that suited her.
Banks gave it right back, as they traded forearms and anything else they could trade with one another. A missed flying elbow nearly handed Banks the match on a silver platter, and as Bayley struggled towards the ropes, Banks slipped further towards the dark side as she braced illegally against the bottom rope and hesitated to release the hold. Bayley caught Banks off-guard and landed a Bayley-to-Belly from the second rope to pick up a big win.
As the ongoing will they/won't they situation seemed ready to turn a corner and explode their friendship, Nia Jax came charging in and laid out both Bayley and Banks. "Over the last few weeks, they both took Asuka to the limit," Jax said. "I destroyed them in seconds. Only one woman can break Asuka's streak -- and you're looking at her."
With months to go before WrestleMania, pushing the "explosion of the mega powers"-esque breakup of Bayley and Banks off a little longer only helps their story, and Jax looks like every bit the heartless monster she needs to be to take on Asuka at the Elimination Chamber.
- Just when you think Braun Strowman can't come up with new ways to hurt people or destroy things, his revenge on Elias showed just how creative this monster could be. After Elias got one of his biggest crowd reactions to date, first positive, then negative, Strowman came out to do his version of Elias' act. To keep things to scale, he draped a standup double bass over his knee, and though he broke the strings trying to strum it in seconds, he showed some chops with his singing voice -- telling tales of how he wasn't finished with Elias or how he was going to "get these hands".
After a powerslam slowed Elias down, Strowman stalked Elias back up the ramp and ultimately smashed the giant string instrument over Elias' back with a great explosion. Sometimes it's just about the simple things in life.
- In what could've been a main event on a lot of Raws, Cena and Miz revisited their long-running rivalry -- first in a war of words, and then in a match that was as good as any they'd ever had. Miz got the drop on Cena via the Miztourage, Cena got his revenge by dropping a stipulation on Miz's head and both men kicked out of finishers after a lengthy show-opening match. After Miz teased the seemingly physically impossible top-rope Skull-Crushing Finale, Cena hit the super Attitude Adjustment for the win -- leaving Miz to assume the first entry position in the men's Elimination Chamber match.
- Roman Reigns vs. Sheamus felt similarly big enough to main event a Raw, and despite shenanigans involving Cesaro, Reigns won a solid match that ended with a spear on a flying Sheamus that looked really cool on replay.
- In a video package that lasted less than three minutes, WWE synthesized all of the stats related to Asuka's undefeated streak that made her look like a million bucks. From her Oct. 7, 2015 win over Dana Brooke through some 860 days and 240 women, Asuka has been as untouchable as any performer of the modern era.
- Alexa Bliss continued to try to mend fences with Mickie James, but James was having none of it. Absolution picked up the victory, as Rose hit her "Bed of Roses" (reminiscent of Awesome Kong/Kharma's go-to finisher) on James to pick up the win for her team.
- Ivory officially joined the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2018, and it was great to see the highlight reel include her time in GLOW and the Right to Censor.
- Thanks to a pre-match attack and a blind tag, The Revival got the final laugh with a win over Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson that seemingly brings their trifecta of matches to a close. | 2019-04-21T03:36:39 | http://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/22418621/wwe-monday-night-raw-results-balor-rollins-earn-spots-elimination-chamber |
There were plenty of winners and losers this week, with analysts warming up to a leading online travel portal operator after another blowout report and companies behind beverage maker platforms posting financials that proved hard to swallow.
SodaStream (SODA) and Keurig Green Mountain (GMCR) posted disappointing quarterly results this week. SodaStream posted another problematic report with double-digit year-over-year declines in all four of its regional territories. Folks just aren't interested in its once-trendy machine that turns tap water into carbonated beverages.
Single-serve coffee leader Keurig Green Mountain saw its stock take a 30 percent hit Thursday after posting results that were a lot weaker than its signature brews. Things just haven't been the same for the K-Cup champ since it rolled out a new platform that uses copy protection to assure that only Keurig-packaged coffee is being brewed.
The leading premium video service turned heads after announcing that it will offer unlimited maternity and paternity leave, and it will be a paid leave with full benefits for the first year. It's a big move, even in a tech field where the benefits can be plentiful to attract top candidates.
This is a brilliant move by Netflix. Sure, there were some people bellyaching about the decision, arguing that it's not fair to employees who won't be having kids. However, by and large, it seems as if most people now either adore Netflix even more or want to work for the company. That's going to help with attraction and retention for both subscribers and potential workers.
This week's social media loser was Checkers Drive-In, the chain of small-box burger joints under the Checkers and Rally's banners. A video went viral this week showing an employee at a franchisee-operator outpost in Baltimore deliberately dropping a burger bun on the floor, rubbing it around the floor and placing it on a sandwich.
Checkers claims that the burger was never served to a customer, but that's something that we'll just have to take on faith. The chain fired the employee, but the image will linger in the minds of potential customers.
At least two Wall Street pros see better times ahead for Priceline. Cantor Fitzgerald boosted its price target on the shares to $1,480 from $1,360. Even better, Benchmark jacked up its price target to $1,500 from $1,350. Yes, there are still some dot-com darlings out there that haven't gotten the itch to split their shares.
Priceline moved higher after yet another strong quarterly report. It managed to post better-than-expected growth even with the negative impact of the strong dollar on overseas bookings.
You know things are bad when even ESPN is feeling the pinch of cord cutters. Most of the leading cable channel and network operators took a hit after Disney (DIS) warned that ratings are down at ABC and tempered growth expectations for its cable properties.
It was really a matter of time. Streaming services are gaining in popularity at a time when cable service providers are shedding subscribers. However, it was assumed that live sports was one bastion that was untouchable given the immediacy of the news. Well, even ESPN is feeling the sting, as cord cutters continue to free themselves of costly cable bundles.

TEN Arquitectos has designed a new research support building for a NASA field center.
Built in 1942, the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland houses more than 3,000 scientists, contractors and administrators and has been the site of many innovations in space flight.
The architects will apply some of those NASA inventions to design the building to LEED silver specifications, including photovoltaics, tnemec paint and insulation. Construction began last month with an expected completion in 2020.
The facility consists of a constellation of primarily World War II-era brick buildings, which, despite their semi-circular distribution, lacked a central focus.
Set to rise on the main artery of Lewis Field—the center’s primary campus, and a recently minted historic district — the two story, 60,000 s/f Research Support Building will provide a new and contemporary public face for the NASA facility with amenities and opportunities to engage the entire campus population, serving as both anchor and core.
The main building will comprise a mix of dedicated and fluid work areas. A series of both open and private office spaces, meeting, conference, and training rooms, as well as an exchange store will be distributed throughout the two floors. Enclosed double height and landscaped internal courtyards will draw natural light into the surrounding work spaces and provide additional places to gather.
Offering more than 86,000 s/f of landscaped lawn, the exterior, dubbed “Wright Commons”, will serve as the central green.
“NASA is a ‘culture of functionalism’. This new building seeks to work within the vocabulary of the research infrastructure, like the amazing domes, gravity drops and pipes that weave throughout the campus. Our hope is this building will act as a platform for this community, connecting them to each other, to resources, to their past achievements and future opportunities,” said Andrea Steele, a partner at TEN. | 2019-04-18T21:35:32 | https://rew-online.com/2018/11/norten-over-the-moon-with-new-nasa-assignment/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A%20RealEstateWeekly%20%28Real%20Estate%20Weekly%29 |
The activity takes place with the class in a wide hall, entrance hall, or outdoors. Select one class member to roll the die and another to flip the coin.
1. Two class members, Student #1 and Student #2, stand about 20 feet apart as shown in Figure . Student #1 holds the end of the rope. Student #2 pulls the rope into a line, keeping the unused portion of the rope coiled at his or her feet.
2. Select a direction perpendicular to the rope to be the positive direction. The opposite direction will be the negative direction.
3. Student #3 grasps the rope approximately in the middle.
4. Flip the coin. Heads or tails determines the direction the person in the middle will move in Step 5 below.
5. Roll the die. The person in the middle of the rope takes a number of "baby steps'' (steps that touch heel to toe) perpendicular to the rope. The number of steps is equal to the number on the die: from one to six. The direction of these steps is determined by the outcome (heads or tails) of the coin flip performed in step 4. Student #2 lets the rope slip out to provide the extra length as needed.
6. Now Students #4 and #5 take up a position in the middle of each straight segment.
Figure 2.4: The initial steps of creating a rubber band or rope coastline as described in HandsOn 1 and 2.
7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 for Student #4, who takes the number of baby steps indicated on the die in a direction perpendicular to the rope indicated by the coin flip. Do the same for Student #5.
8. Continue this process, randomly deflecting the midpoint perpendicular to each straight segment, until you run out of either rope or students.
9. Take a photograph of the resulting "coastline." | 2019-04-25T21:06:32 | http://physionet.fri.uni-lj.si/tutorials/epn/html/chp21act3.htm |
The City of Boston is conducting a comprehensive study of the Downtown area, called PLAN: Downtown. The goal is stated as, "Building on past studies, the primary goal of the study will be to develop a new framework for the preservation, enhancement, and growth of the Downtown area of the City of Boston, while balancing the importance of livability, daylight, walkability, climate change, access to open space, affordability, and a dynamic mix of uses, among others." The City released a Request For Proposals in 2018 for teams to conduct the study and after reviewing nine responses, selected NBBJ who is partnering with Arup, Nitsch, Boston Conservation Associates, and others to complete the study. A preliminary map of the study area has been presented and is attached below. An Advisory Committee of residents and members of the public is being formed. Final recommendations and the study's completion is anticipated in the spring of 2020. The recommendations are intended to result in permanent zoning changes, but that is not a requirement of this study.
Planning for the downtown area is a result of mitigation efforts for the Winthrop Square tower project, which will itself have significant impacts on this diverse neighborhood. The Alliance strongly urged the City to undertake a comprehensive planning process during the Winthrop Square mitigation discussion. We then joined our partners at Friends of the Public Garden and Downtown Boston BID to form the Downtown Plan Advocacy Coalition and cooperatively we provided guidance to the City about the boundary of the study, what should be considered, and the priorities of those represented by each of our advocacy organizations. The Alliance is pleased that this planning initiative is moving forward and we will provide feedback throughout the process.
Alliance staff attends the first Advisory Group (AG) meeting. Information is presented by planning staff at the BPDA about the timeline of the study and expectations of the group. Members of the AG expresses concerns about the final product (guidelines or zoning for downtown) having enough "teeth" to be worthwhile. The Alliance is helping the study team determine which aspects of the boundary area are historically significant.
Staff attends a Preservation Round Table discussion with NBBJ (project managers) and other preservation professionals. The discussion revolves largely around the diverse nature of historic resources in the study area and how to best identify and plan for the preservation of those resources, which include buildings, streetscapes, viewsheds, open space, monuments and markers, paving and materials, etc. The group discusses ways to bring attention to these resources such as signage, public art, or technology. A need is expressed to connect the "character corridors" or sub-districts through hardscape, signage, lighting, etc. It was made clear that protecting the historic character of downtown is about more than protecting just the "historic" buildings but the sense of place throughout the district as defined by a collection of influences including businesses and cultural activities. Alliance staff agreed to help identify the unique qualities that create the sense of place in the study area.
The Boston Guardian publishes an article about the planning initiative. In the article, long-time Alliance Board member Beatrice Nessen is quoted, "I think development is exciting and necessary but what makes Boston special is its historic character and quality walking experience... all of that can be lost with development on a case by case basis. Unless you have a regulatory way to implement what's coming out of here, it won't amount to much." Beatrice also said that she wants to see Washington Street retain its historic properties and to protect the Common, and that new rules need to have teeth to prevent individual projects from affecting the area. The full article is attached below.
The first Open House and Information Session is hosted by planning and urban design staff at the Boston Planning and Development Agency. Alliance staff attends and provides feedback on the public boards and displays. Materials from that meeting can be found here. | 2019-04-26T02:48:00 | http://bostonpreservation.org/advocacy-project/plan-downtown |
Almacantar reported a profit of £1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 which includes net property income of £10.0 million from its three investment properties. This largely comprises rental income from office and other commercial occupiers of the properties, reduced by direct costs of managing and leasing the buildings.
A significant proportion of income arises under leases with fixed rental levels. Most leases have a remaining period of several years. However, as described below, it is expected that rebuilding of the Centre Point and Marble Arch Tower properties will begin in 2014. At that time, annual income from those properties is likely to decline, before an increase in the value of the properties is realized after completion of the building work.
The group’s finance expense for the first nine months of 2012, amounting to £4.8 million, largely comprises interest expense on bank borrowings which are secured on the properties. A substantial level (approximately 87%) of bank interest expense is fixed under interest-rate swap agreements.
At September 30, 2012, the share capital of Almacantar amounted to £276 million of which £96 million was not yet called for payment by the shareholders.
In May 2012, Almacantar applied for a building permit to convert the Centre Point tower into exclusive apartments of a very high standard. In September 2012, the application was refused largely because of delays in obtaining authorizations from the relevant government authorities. A revised application is being prepared. It is anticipated that the building work will commence in 2014. At that time, the building will temporarily cease to generate income, and additional bank borrowings will be obtained, for a period of between two and three years.
The building currently comprises offices, other commercial occupiers, and a cinema. Almacantar is working with an architect to design a mixed-use building, including high quality residential apartments. Construction work is expected to begin in 2014.
In July 2012 Almacantar completed the purchase of CAA House. This property is also in the center of London and is leased by a British government agency.
Almacantar will continue its strategy of increasing the value of existing investments, in particular by applying for permission to undertake construction work to improve March Arch tower and Centre Point, while generating net income from CAA House. In addition, new property investments in central London will be sought, which have the potential for Almacantar to use its real estate skills to transform and add long-term value. | 2019-04-22T17:08:38 | http://exor-reports.message-asp.com/en/2012/interim-report-9m-2012/review-performance-main-operating-subsidiaries-and-associates/almacantar |
Last week appears to have been good to the TI-Nspire, thanks mostly to user Danny "apcalc" Clark.
A very nifty application that deserves some attention is his release of nPlayer, a very slick little video player for the TI-Nspire series. Using Ndless 2.0 in tandem with some other utilities, video files are converted to a series of .bmp images which are then able to be played on your calc once appropriately compressed. Danny was kind enough to include very detailed documentation, complete with screenshots, making the use of his software a snap.
As if that was not enough, Danny has also released a port of Pegs, coded in LUA, for the TI-Nspire. Check out the download page for this release in order witness the addition of color to a calc classic.
I always loved Pegs on my 83+ back in the days. It was my 2nd favorite Puzzpack game after Block Dude.
It would probably be rather simple to convert the Pegs code to C, similar to what I did with Block Dude. | 2019-04-20T00:21:11 | https://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/14/147/147498.html |

This was a play that symbolized the Loyalsock season. The Lancers were knocked down several times, but they kept rising, fighting on and moving on. They nearly did it one last time Saturday against the state's No. 2-ranked Class AAA team.
Loyalsock built an 11-point first-quarter lead and still led by eight late in the third quarter before Trinity rallied and defeated it, 57-52, in the state quarterfinals. The Lancers (22-8) never really were knocked out and kept battling until the final second when Mitch Klingerman hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer.
They simply did not earn the decision yesterday. What Loyalsock did do was provide one last look at what made it so successful this season.
"That's just a good lifetime skill to learn. We all have ups and downs in our lives and we all face adversity, so they're kind of callous to that now," Loyalsock coach Ron Insinger said. "Hopefully, they learn from that and realize that tomorrow is another day and good things can happen again."
"Every single game in the state tournament we were the underdogs and we knocked out two private schools," Loyalsock guard Gerald Ross said after scoring a game-high 24 points. "Being a small school like Loyalsock, few people picked us to go this far."
That went double after Wellsboro defeated Loyalsock in the District 4 championship. Instead of moping, the Lancers went back to work. They rallied from a 15-point deficit to beat Holy Redeemer in the opening round on Ross's buzzer-beater and then stunned heavily-favored District 1 champion Valley Forge.
Loyalsock nearly played giant-killer again against a team featuring a 6-foot-10 Division I center for a second straight game as well as two players 6-5 or taller. The Lancers, with just one player taller than 6-4, settled themselves after Trinity scored the game's first four points in 23 seconds, dominating the first quarter and leading 19-10 after one. Loyalsock held its ground from there, leading 30-24 at halftime and using a 7-1 third-quarter run to go up, 39-31 with 2 minutes, 49 seconds remaining.
Ross scored 22 of his 24 points over the last three quarters, Klingerman continued his strong play with 14 points and Gair had five points during the third-quarter run. The Lancers had Trinity where they wanted them, but a team that has made the comeback its staple, fell victim to one.
"We controlled the game for 28 minutes. What I'm most pleased with is we played with so much heart," Insinger said. "At the end of the night you have to let the cards fall where they may. They're an outstanding team and that's why they're ranked second in the state."
Trinity coach Larry Kostelac Jr., called a timeout after Klingerman made a steal and fed Gair for the layup that pushed Loyalsock's lead to eight. Trinity came back looking like a different team, scoring the next eight points and tying the game, 39-39 in just a 99-second span. That set the stage for a furiously fought fourth quarter that featured several lead changes and in which no team led by more than three until 30 seconds remained.
"It was an outstanding effort. from the middle of the third quarter on we showed tremendous resolve and grit. That's what we needed to win the game," Kostelac said after earning his 699th career win. "Ron does such a great job and in the fourth quarter every possession was a battle. At this time of the year that's the way it's supposed to be. We feel very fortunate that things swung our way and that our kids stepped up and got the job done."
Ross hit two 3-pointers that twice put Loyalsock up three to start the fourth quarter. Matt Long hit his third 3-pointer to give Trinity its first lead since early in the first quarter, but Ross quickly answered with another 3-pointer as Loyalsock took its last lead, 48-47 with 4:43 remaining. From there, the Shamrock defense constricted as 6-10 center Sean Good served as an inside eraser, blocking three of his five shots. Good (12 points, 5 assists) fed Kalen Veres inside to put Trinity ahead to stay and hit a hook shot to put Trinity up, 52-49 at the 3-minute mark.
Good blocked another shot on Loyalsock's ensuing possession and on the next one, two potential game-tying 3-pointers were off the mark. Connor Watkins (8 rebounds, 3 assists) gave Loyalsock another chance with a late steal, but Loyalsock missed again. When Mike Scarpelli missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 1:10 remaining, Loyalsock had one last chance.
Trinity played good defense on that possession and Loyalsock called a timeout with 44 seconds remaining. Veres, who just recently returned from a broken ankle, then helped Trinity drop the hammer. The 6-7 forward made a steal in the backcourt, sped upcourt and threw down a one-handed dunk. Following another Lancer miss, Jack Bucher hit two free throws and clinched Trinity's first Final 4 appearance since 2013 when it defeated Loyalsock in overtime at Martz Hall on St. Patrick's Day.
"It (the steal) is a big deal. He just went up and ripped it. He did not hesitate," Kostelac said. "That was a big emotional lift. We put a challenge to him at halftime and he rose to the occasion the way we hoped he would."
Loyalsock did the same thing all season. The road was bumpy at times, but it ended up extending pretty close to Hershey. With four starters returning next season, maybe that road will go even farther next year.
"Hopefully they will all come back a little more polished than they are right now. That's what we talked about in the post game," Insinger said. "Now the 2018-19 season begins. You have to get in the gym. Basketball like most of these sports is 365 days a year, so if they don't touch a ball between now and November they're not going to get much better. But if we work all summer, then I'm excited for next year. I think we can again make a lot of noise in states." | 2019-04-26T02:27:45 | http://www.piaad4.net/news/2018/loyalsock-goes-down-battling-against-trinity-in-quarters/ |
What is the Cost of an Increase in Minimum Wage to a Minimum Wage Employee?
There is no question about it, minimum wage is not enough to help U.S. families out of poverty, there is an incredibly audible outcry for change.
How much of a raise do you feel you need? Some picketers hold signs asking for 15 dollars an hour; but let’s alter the reality of that perspective: this would exceed or come close to many management level salaries. When looking at the average salary levels on glassdoor.com for 11 smaller-box retailers in your average mall I found that a Store Manager’s salary could run anywhere from $15.54/hr(Journey’s) to $25.48/hr(American Eagle) with the average hourly rate being $20.00/hr. I went on to look at salaries for the First Assistants and they ranged from $8.76/hr (Journey’s) to $18.09/hr (Children’s Place) with the average hourly rate being $14.40/hr. The stores with the higher paid management typically made a habit of paying their sales associates more than minimum wage at an average of $8.85/hr.
An increase in minimum wage, will have one of two effects on store management. Either no effect, as that is far too high a deficit all at once for a company, meaning that some cashiers could be earning as much as their assistants. Or instead of raising everyone, just laying off to the bare minimum.
So what does a higher wage cost the minimum wagers?
A lower minimum wage means the ability to hire more, and work more employees. As a result of the high cost of workers former Starbucks president Howard Behar suggested the possibility that some may not have yet considered, “You’re going to see more automation. … Don’t be surprised if Starbucks goes to all-cashless payment.” Meaning instead of hiring employees that will raise our deficits, we will instead utilize computers in their place. Personally, in place of raising pay I would rather raise the amount of jobs available to workers.
Increase in pay will also result in an increase of cost, it’s a simple economic concept. If an employer has to raise it’s output it will also have to strategize a raise in income. The most obvious and necessary step of action would be to increase cost. Behar went on to explain “the $15-an-hour wage mandate will make a $5.20 order cost $6.20.” That’s only one dollar on your coffee, it may be five dollars on your jeans, it may be thirty cents to your loaf of bread, or fifty cents to your milk. Although these sound like small increases they will add up, and the cost of living will also climb.
So what’s a manageable increase?
It is time for a minimum wage increase, the last one was in the summer of 2009,(ironically) just a week after I had received a raise to $7.25 for my recent promotion to assistant manager with my employer at the time. That increase was less than a dollar, but also was the third one in three years in a row. So the true jump was from $5.15 to $5.85 in 2007 and then onto $7.25 in 2009. So considering the facts here, what do you think will be the more sensible increase?
What would be better than raising minimum wage?
A better quality of life. A better job title. Perhaps you should be reaching out to your own employer. Do you feel you are receiving adequate training? Perhaps you should ask your supervisor about advancement opportunities, ask for an employee evaluation to target the weaknesses you need to overcome that may be holding you back. Communicate your career goals with your supervisor directly and clearly. Allow for feedback on the steps to achieve these goals.
In December of 2009 my district manager asked all the managers of her district to send her our new years resolutions, one personal and one professional. I told her I aimed to be her assistant and after a serious talk and an updated employee evaluation I was working my way, achieving my goal by that summer.
This is a repost from my first month of blogging, but it is a topic that continues to resurface.
Very interesting blog post, one about the USA which gives me a contrasting view to the situation in the UK. It was short and snappy and got to the point very quickly, whilst questioning the reader. If you have time, please read my article concerning the minimum wage situation in the UK, which highlights the problems of minimum wage and was my first blog post.
Increasing minimum wage helps the employee to concentrate in their full time job. That is how I feel in taking many jobs to earn a living and having a hard time to concentrate in one.
I fully support any attempt to increase minimum wage. No one should have to work more than one job to feed their family.
Oh I totally agree minimum wage increase HAS to happen. I can’t believe it has taken THIS LONG. But, I believe the increase does not need to be more than double for the sake of outside factors.
I work at a hair salon so not exactly retail, but all of our assistants earn minimum wage while doing their training. This typically lasts 3 years. While that’s not an incredibly large amount of time, living in San Francisco is outrageously expensive and I don’t know how some of them survive. The owners of my salon are fully supportive of the wage increase, but they will probably start adding a service charge to all transactions so the customer absorbs the wage increase. It’s not an ideal situation but I can’t think of a better way to handle it. From an assistants perspective, they are majorly struggling on the current minimum wage.From my owners perspective, the assistants already are a large expense because they essentially generate no revenue for 3 years so paying them anything at all is an investment so increasing that significantly reduced their bottom line.
Gah, when I was a district manager I had store managers under me that were paid only around $25 to $26k a year, and these were managers that had been with the company for years! New managers were getting hired on based on new wages so were making somewhere around $30k. It wasn’t fair, drove me nuts, and I really did wonder how they made it work. I can only imagine how much it needs to come up in California, particularly San Francisco!
How long to you have to work to buy lunch? What are you willing to pay?
Wonderfully stated. I like fact and logic.
I base some of my purchases, such as lunch out, on how long I have to work to buy a sandwich at a fast food restaurant. I must work 1 hour to purchase a hamburger, fries and a drink. If I loose my job to a kiosk (which my employer has promised rather than raise the pay) and I no longer have the income and the price of goods goes up, I will no longer buy anything that isn’t necessary. It’s a vicious circle.
Thank you. My husband teases me because he is the conservative corporate worker and I am the liberal low paid employee and he is all about the raise and I am not 100% about it. The main reason being I worked for a company that I know at $15 They would have fired half the employees over spending anything…They also don’t raise the pay for upper management once that happens…I would kid you not when I say that assistant managers were paid as much as new hired sales associates when the minimum wage was bumped out last. And then they followed that with a raise freeze for literally three years. | 2019-04-26T09:49:59 | https://shopgirlanonymous.com/2017/01/28/what-is-the-cost-of-an-increase-in-minimum-wage-to-a-minimum-wage-employee/ |

TSCA incorporated approaches from older, more targeted laws including the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA; which regulates pesticides) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Its core provisions remain relatively unchanged nearly 40 years later, so it still reflects a much less intrusive approach to regulation than many later-amended laws governing air, water and waste. This blog summarizes requirements for chemical assessment; my next blog will discuss significant legislation introduced this month, seeking to address provisions widely seen as out-dated and inadequate.
Each PMN must provide all available test data relating to the new chemical’s effects on health or the environment. These data must cover the processing, distribution, and use or disposal of the new chemical substance, or any mixture or article that will contain the new chemical substance.
EPA has 90 days to review the information, and can allow, reject, or add conditions to the proposed use. If EPA fails to act, the manufacturer or importer can begin distribution.
Preliminary Assessment Information Report (PAIR) for chemicals that may pose “an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment” – these call for information analogous to PMNs and SNUNs.
Reporting on chemicals for which information reasonably supports a conclusion that the chemical poses a “substantial risk of injury to health or the environment” (Section 8(e) reports).
Priority Testing for chemicals designated by the EPA-sponsored Interagency Testing Committee (Section 4(e)) Priority Testing).
Chemical Data Reporting Rule, requiring most sites that manufacture 25,000 pounds or more of any chemical in the TSCA Inventory to report activities and volumes every 4 years.
In general, if EPA determines that a chemical poses “unreasonable risks,” the agency must evaluate regulatory responses and choose the “least burdensome” option. In addition, EPA has created a TSCA Work Plan under which the agency identifies priorities for peer reviewed studies of chemical-specific information.
TSCA itself is designed to provide EPA with access to health and safety information about chemicals (“chemical substances”), and to empower EPA to take regulatory steps it deems appropriate. However, in the years since 1976 other regulatory and commercial activities have arisen that make use of this information – except for information claimed to be Confidential Business Information. Most broadly, elements of the information from PMNs and SNUNs appear on Safety Data Sheets (SDSs, and their longstanding predecessors Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)), which the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to provide to employees who work with chemicals as part of the Hazard Communication Standard. (I blogged about HCS here) Note that HCS requires manufacturers to update SDSs/MSDSs when significant new information become available – for example, if new studies lead to different conclusions about chemical hazards.
Other environmental, health and safety (EH&S) programs also incorporate this information when regulators consider appropriate standards to protect public health, worker health, and the environment – using this chemical information to begin evaluation of possible Clean Air Act or Clean Water Act regulations, for example. In many cases, those EH&S programs require manufacturers and importers to conduct additional studies to expand and update available information – note that TSCA contains no blanket requirement that manufacturers to provide this updated information, so only those chemicals subject to one of the follow-on programs identified above (PAIR, Section 8(e), etc.) receives subsequent review under TSCA.

Gallant Man was one of the leaders of the outstanding crop of 3-year-olds of 1957 along with Bold Ruler, Round Table and Iron Liege. Bred in England by His Highness The Aga Khan III and Prince Aly Khan, Gallant Man was named for a horse in a Don Ameche movie.
Owned by Ralph Lowe and trained by John Nerud, Gallant Man won three of seven starts as a 2-year-old in 1956 before blossoming during his sophomore campaign. After losing the 1957 Kentucky Derby when jockey Bill Shoemaker infamously misjudged the finish line, Gallant Man came back to win the Belmont Stakes by eight lengths over favored Bold Ruler. Gallant Man set an American record of 2:26⅗ for 1½ miles in the Belmont. The Belmont record stood until Secretariat bested that mark 16 years later.
As a 3-year-old, Gallant Man also won the Travers Stakes, Peter Pan Stakes, Jockey Club Gold Cup, Nassau County Handicap and Hibiscus Stakes. He set a 1⅛-mile track record at Saratoga in the Travers and posted an overall mark of 8-4-0 from 14 starts and earnings of $298,280 as a 3-year-old.
Returning as a 4-year-old in 1958, Gallant Man added victories in the Hollywood Gold Cup, Sunset Handicap and Metropolitan Mile. Gallant Man was retired with a career record of 14-4-1 from 26 starts and earnings of $510,355. He won at distances from six furlongs to two miles.
Gallant Man had an influential stallion career at Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky. He sired 52 stakes winners and was the broodmare sire of Gallant Bloom and Genuine Risk. Gallant Man was pensioned from stallion duty in 1981 and died at the age of 34 in 1988. | 2019-04-24T08:01:39 | https://www.racingmuseum.org/hall-of-fame/gallant-man |

One of the partners in Tissot Ayram Partnership explained in this letter how he started with investing, but also what he has learned during the years of investing in different jobs and projects. Thanks to that he has become an experienced stocker, recommending himself for future long-term investments as well as a partnership with large companies.
First of all, he described himself as “dude from garage”, who firstly worked from library, public internet restaurant and literally from his garage with one computer and internet connection. He made lot mistakes investing in those jobs, but he learned one thing. No matter how smart and insightful he was, finding himself keen and piercing, mistakes he made was being made even in the most successful businesses. Needed skills in those jobs were character and temperament. Sometimes is important to sell stocks at right time, sometimes the smartest decision was to hold them even their value is on the very high level.
Our brain, as he explained, is learned to keep us safe from dangerous situations, and his most important function is a prediction. More important, the brain is contained in numerous parts and functions and each of them has its own behavior and knowledge. They are functioning as a team. During all of those processes, those parts produce hormones and each of them affects our body and mind. Learning how the brain works we can use its functions and skills for situations that are not particularly connected with nature and dangerous, but closer to daily situations and doubts we have. He actually learned how to use his brain for investments in stocks.
After that explanation, he moved to TPL (Texas Pacific Land Trust) and its growth during 70’s and after that, thanks to land possession and oil that was found on that land. This company (or he calls it “a trust”) measured growth in 2017 after few oscillations. It should grow to 40% in 2018. Another company with this large growth that year was MGP Ingredients. This company mostly focused on alcohol got great CEO Gus Griffin, who almost doubled their value. Author of this letter said that he is proud for being part of that growth and increasing of value during 2017.
He said something about Calloway’s Nurseries (CLWY), a 20-store chain of high-margin plant situated in Dallas. Besides those 20 stores, they own 11 another properties. This is not a big company, as the matter of fact, it is more a family company, with follows an assertive pattern – “slowly build a position, take control, repay debt, meaningfully decrease expenses, sometimes down – list companies, and eventually make”.
He finally mentioned a consulting company Franklin Covey (FC) that has great future as an investment company. There are possible additional actions mentioned in this letter, as well as mistakes that author made with Gemini, which also proves how much he learned after years of doing this job. | 2019-04-21T20:03:01 | https://www.stocktalkreview.com/annual-letter-about-tissot-ayram-partnership-for-2017/26014/ |

Exemplar – Andrew James Taggart, Practical Philosopher, Ph.D.
Camus is right. It is not that the suicide wants to die. It is rather that the suicide despairs of finding a reason for living. What can philosophy offer him by way of reply?
Before we answer this question in the affirmative, it would be wise to consider further why the suicide despairs of finding a reason for living where the reason, it should be added, is of the kind that the suicide can live, one, that is, that resonates in a strong ‘vitalist’ key.
The first claim the suicide can make is that the world is not and cannot be a home. The claim cannot be that he does not belong here (say, in New York), for if that were the case, then he would do well to move to, e.g., Boston or Vermont. Nor can the claim be that he does not belong to this family or workplace or social group for a similar reason: namely, because another more suitable family or workplace or social group might very well be suitable. Rather, the claim has to be that he cannot dwell in the world because the world, in some deep phenomenological sense, cannot be a home in which he can find his fit and dwell, in which he can belong, can just let be.
Let’s call this a “phenomenological claim” concerning one’s ill-at-homedness.
The second claim the suicide can make would be that he wants to lead a worthwhile life but no such life is possible full stop or possible for him. In the former case, the suicide adopts philosophical pessimism, the view according to which none of us has any reason for living and certainly no reason for reproducing. In the latter case, he makes an exception for himself, exempting himself from the human fold. That is, the fact that it is possible for others to lead fulfilling lives but not so for him may suggest to the suicide that there is something deeply the matter with him. Consequently, assuring him that this is not the case would hardly provide him with the consolation he needs since he is already convinced that others are so unlike him as to be living, effectively, in another moral universe and we happen to occupy the world from which he is estranged.
Let’s call this a “teleological claim,” a claim according to which there is and can be no final end toward which his life could be directed.
In light of either the suicide’s ill-at-homedness or his profound teleological pessimism, the only humane conclusion, it would seem, would be to appeal to medicine in general and to psychiatry in particular as the institutions of last resort. We must act on his behalf in order to save him from immediate harm. What good, after all, could reasoning with him do?
This will depend on whether the suicide is capable of self-reflection. If he is, then there is hope of the kind to be found in and offered by the philosophical life.
First of all, it must be impressed upon him that human life is the kind of thing that asks, as it were, to be brought into question. To claim this much is to claim that the lives of conscious beings–that is to say, of those beings who are capable of regarding their lives in the form of a question–is just the kind of activity we should undertake if we hope to live well in the first place. The oddity, we will want to inform him, is not that his life has been brought into question but that others have gone on as if living were the kind of thing best taken for granted. I do not say, the philosopher Robert Nozick relates, that the unexamined life is not worth living. I say only that the examined life is lived more fully. Yes, dear Robert, this is true.
It is here that a second logical point may open the suicide to further inquiry. The point here would be that the inference from the claim that this way of life is not suitable (in general or for him but doubtless the first) to the conclusion that life in general is not suitable is clearly invalid. From the claim that this way of life is unsuitable and from the claim that other ways of life (still) exist, it follows that some other way of life may be suitable.
The onus now falls on the philosopher to show that the suicide could live out some conception of a good life, i.e., a way of life that would be suitable for any good human life whatever. It seems to me that armchair reasoning has now reached its limits. For the suicide who acknowledges that life can be an object of inquiry and who also grants that some way of life could conceivably accommodate him is now hungry to be shown that this is so. It will not be enough, and rightly so, to grant that logical possibilities exist.
Perhaps only an exemplar could perform this lived demonstration and then too only by virtue of actually embodying a radiant way of being. The last may be misunderstood as saying that it is enough for the suicide to bear witness to the one who is, in his presence, leading a radiant life. But that may only make him feel as if he were the moon and the other the sun. The truth is that he wants to live, not merely to look on and experience secondhand. He does not want to be a hand-me-down, so to speak. Understood rightly, however, the philosopher, being radiant himself, is tasked with leading forth the suicide, with drawing him into a radiant way of life: yet drawing him not in a way that would run contrary to his will or his desires but in a way that would go according to the way. Furthermore, “leading him forth” does not imply “doing such and such for him” but bringing him walkingly alongside.
The suicide, in the presence of the philosopher, is learning about being radiant by participating fully in a radiant way of being. To be sure, it may seem ‘dim’ to him initially what exactly he is doing or why exactly he is doing this rather than that. Yet, if he is wisely guided, then he begins to feel an intimation that this way of life is not “out there” well and ever beyond his grasp but with him, within him, him, the best self that emerges as he learns to inquire further, as he continues to participate and partake and contribute more fully to a way of life into which he fits and in which he flourishes.
It is as if he has found himself for the first time such that the phenomenological sense of not-being-at-home and the teleological skepticism of not having a final aim have gone away, having receded slowly, having lost their shape and grip and fraughtness. They have gone away and are now visible far off in the distance, identifiable now as questions that are well at home in a previous way of life that has passed out of existence.
Indeed, one day it shall dawn on him that he is living an answer to the question of why one should live, and in so doing he is giving the only answer that could possibly be given. And that answer, just because it is so radiant, makes the question he once raised with such fervor come, from within this way of life, to seem almost silly. Once he arrives here with us, he and I and we spend quite a bit of time meditating and being silent and giggling. | 2019-04-24T10:39:48 | https://andrewjtaggart.com/tag/exemplar/ |

Trying to curb your carb intake? Try these flourless, lower-carb tortillas, which are made using only plantains, a little lime juice and some salt. They’re easy to make, totally delicious and only 50 calories a pop!
Chop each plantain (skin on) into 4 or 5 equal pieces, keeping skin intact.
Place the plantains in the boiling water and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the insides of the plantains are very soft. Strain and let cool slightly.
Remove the skins of the plantains and place in a food processor with the lime juice and salt. Process the mixture until smooth.
Spray the inside of a plastic baggie (like Ziploc) and insert one of the dough balls. Use a rolling pin or a tortilla press to flatten. Repeat with each dough ball.
Place one tortilla at a time on a skillet (coated with oil spray if needed to prevent sticking) on medium-low heat, cooking each side about 1 to 2 minutes. | 2019-04-24T22:45:58 | https://joybauer.com/healthy-recipes/plantain-tortillas/ |
Everytime you work with vitality instruments, make sure your apparel is nestled in properly. Any unfastened garments or prolonged, dangling head of hair or costly jewellery can easily come to be twisted throughout the instrument, finally inflicting trauma or one other failure. Tuck all issues in, take once more hair, explode dangling precious jewelry after which get right down to work.
When buying a natural leather couch, verify its base very carefully to determine if the leather is dyed uniformly all over. Whenever you notice some white gauze within the settee, it is made out of vinyl. A real leather-based materials couch have to be uniformly dyed, even inside the couch and involving the cushions.
Prior to rehearsing superior woodworking ways, ensure you’ve bought the fundamentals lower. Often these revolutionary techniques depend upon you knowing the fundamentals just like the back of your hand. When you do not, you may likely discover discovering as a really irritating encounter. So start sluggish, and work up after that.
Don’t allow yourself to fall in love with a bit of furniture until you’ve got learn the particular care directions. Plenty of pretty creations have crazy maintenance that teak garden furniutre can make having them an entire chore. Be sure washing, stain removing, sprucing and preservation are all reasonably achieved for the approach to life you lead.
In case you might be bored utilizing potential instruments in your woodwork task, try your hand at using traditional information tools. For a few years men and women utilized no potential with their woodworking. Every little factor was completed your self. It is a difficult approach to include pleasure and nice pride to the subsequent wooden working enterprise.
If you need a change, take into account shopping for accent pieces. You may brighten up a room and change the whole look by merely adding a couple of throw pillows, a brand new facet desk or an accent piece. You’ll be able to even add new wall pieces simply to spruce up the space.
Attempt to incorporate a “comfortable haven” at one of many areas in your house. It becomes a vital location as a way to need to enable you to unwind after having a very very long time of labor or establishment. Use peaceful colors with this place and attempt so as to add a hearth in this area. | 2019-04-19T20:44:18 | https://www.bagoesteak.com/in-want-of-furniture-read-this-first/ |
