Cultural Survival's 2019 Indigenous Youth Community Media Fellows are hard at work. The Fellowship Project aims to support young Indigenous leaders between the ages of 16-26, who are committed and eager to learn about technology, program development, journalism, community radio, media, and Indigenous Peoples’ rights advocacy. Capacity of the fellows will be built through trainings, community radio station exchanges, and conference attendance. Read about what our Youth Fellows have been up to.
Kankuamo Youth Commission (Kankuamo) from Atanquez, Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, Colombia
"The word was given to live in harmony, in union. To communicate is to interpret the movements of nature, it is the knowledge that comes through the dream, it is the prevention of health. There are birds that warn, we must go to the knowledgeable to know how to prevent." --Mayor Kankuamo
The Kankuamo youth have carried out activities with elders of the community. They recently hosted an elder from Kankuamo, Daniel Maestre to discuss the importance of taking care of land and the relationship with oneself, emphasizing responsibilities. How do we commit to a shared responsibility? Youth reflected on this question and the ancestral practices of how the land has been managed in the past.
The youth also participated in a second session of audiovisual training lead by Jefry Montero, youth facilitator from Kankuamo, learning general concepts of communication. Between the training sessions youth went out into the community, cleaning up garbage and discussing alternative solutions in preventing future trash accumulation.
Jose Daniel Arias, a member of the group shares: “Our greatest learning has been the sharing of the word, the opportunity to learn from our elders and the possibility of creating and building something together. Understanding our role as Indigenous community journalists has allowed us to come to terms with a stronger commitment to our territory, culture, values and elders."
Youth fellows from Radio Kimsakocha in Cuenca, Ecuador
Manuel David Loja Pugo, Jessica Tatiana Sarango Rumipulla, and Cristofer Arévalo have been actively investigating and interviewing elder Indigenous leaders of the Cuenca area who have been protecting the sacred water for many generations. Tarquí, a village in Cuenca, where the community radio is based, is the only community that has had their own community-based water management system for over 47 years. Historically, the Kichwa community has been in conflict with a hydroelectric company, struggling to protect their only source of water from contamination and exploitation. A neighboring village has already lost their source of water because of a mining company operating in the area that has contaminated the local river. For this reason, the youth have been documenting the stories of the historic struggle of their community to reinforce the need to protect water. This is part of a radio program series to raise awareness of the need for environmental conservation.

The officially established Christian church in the nation of England is known as the Church of England, or the Anglican church. In addition to being the seat of Christian worship in England, the Church of England is also the mother church of Anglican beliefs, and it is considered the senior branch of the Anglican Communion. The Anglican Communion refers to a group of churches around the world which are in agreement with the See or Office of Canterbury, the highest Bishopric in Anglican church. These churches do not submit to Roman authority, along with many other branches of Christianity.
The roots of Christianity in England are quite ancient, with evidence of Christian worship emerging as early as the first century CE. Through the medieval era, England followed the Roman Catholic Church, seated in the Vatican. However, increasing conflicts between church and state led England to join the Protestant movement. The Protestant Reformation in Europe brought about a serious split in the Church, with Protestants rejecting Roman authority, considering the Bible the ultimate source of religious information, and believing that through faith alone, Christians can find Redemption.
Anglicanism got a jumpstart when King Henry VIII of England officially rejected Roman authority over English worship. He was concerned that the church held too much power, and he was also dissatisfied with certain aspects of Roman doctrine. Under his daughter Elizabeth I, the English church went through further reforms, with Elizabeth supporting the adoption of a Book of Common Prayer and the 39 Articles, a list of basic statements which are used as the foundation for Anglican doctrine.
Despite its link with the Protestant break, the Church of England is not considered a Protestant church. Many people consider it to be a middle ground between Roman Catholic and Protestant belief, since it incorporates a bit of both.
During the period of upheaval in England marked by the English Civil War, the Church of England underwent a series of major changes, although it re-emerged in a more or less familiar form in 1662. As the English explored and settled other parts of the world, they introduced new people to the Anglican Church, and numerous churches around the world follow the doctrine and principles of Anglicanism. The Episcopal Church, which originally began as a branch of the Church of England, is now officially separate, and it is seated in the United States. Despite their divisions, these two churches are similar in a number of ways, representing their relatively recent split.

After realizing that alcohol and spicy foods were excruciating to consume after treatment, throat cancer survivor Rob Paulsen learned that smoothies were a much healthier — and more soothing — option.
After being treated with chemotherapy and radiation for stage 3 squamous cell carcinoma (cancer of the throat), voice actor and CURE® Ambassador Rob Paulsen faced difficulties eating, ranging from a lack of taste to difficulty swallowing.
When both alcohol and spicy foods caused much discomfort, Paulsen realized that heading to his local smoothie shop was a much better option, where he could have high-calorie smoothies made with fruits, vegetables and yogurt. Not only would smoothies help him get the nutrients he needed, but the soft, cold liquid also felt good on his fragile throat, he explained.
“I couldn’t really taste it, but it was soothing. It was also something that felt good,” Paulsen said.
Paulsen was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, and though the road to recovery was long, he is now able to taste and enjoy eating once more and encourages others to stay hopeful.
Anything that had the least bit of spice (or) citrus, (like) orange juice lit me up. My mouth was so sensitive. Orange juice, apple juice ...
Forget booze. I've never been a big drinker. But when I started to heal, I asked my doctor, I said, “Is it OK if I have a shot of vodka?” (They said) “Sure, but remember, it's alcohol, and your mouth is pretty sensitive.” I had lots of sores inside my mouth. (My cancer treatment was) a really nasty procedure. And I hate to scare anybody, but I think it's better to know what you're in for. And the people who love you can pay attention.
I had a vodka and cranberry. Oh my god, I thought my head was going to explode. (It was the) same thing with relatively spicy Indian food. I thought, OK, well, I'm going to eat something with little spice in it, so that (I) can taste it and enjoy it. But the spice just lit me up.
So I then found Jamba Juice or Robeks. They all have different preparations with frozen yogurt and almond milk or regular milk, and maybe some fruit or some vegetables or something like that. (It was) something that I could get down. I couldn't really taste it, but it was also soothing. It was also something that felt good. Because there was a period of time that my mouth was like having strep throat for about a year. It was pretty gnarly.
But you know what, you get through it, and you figure it out. And now I'm in a position where I can at least go out and enjoy food.

A honey-coloured pocket of tiny towns and pretty green fields, the Dordogne brings the English Cotswolds to southwest France. It’s a region that draws gastronomes, history buffs and nature lovers in their thousands – and constantly catches hearts with its scenery, prehistory and slow French pace of life. Marvel at the many Michelin stars, admire the vine-striped hills, and take the time to wander the pretty cream-coloured river towns. Here, villas are just a gateway. France’s Périgord is authentic and historic – medieval châteaux are strung like pearls along the Dordogne and Dronne rivers, and there’s a heritage which recalls periods of rivalry and intense years of war.

ASX Technical Analysis: Range Base Under More Pressure Than Ever
- The ASX 200 has offered investors a scant, 160-point range since mid-May
- However the last few trading sessons have seen it confined to the lower half of the range
- Its base is under more pressure than it has been for months.
New to the trading world? Our beginners’ guide is here to help
Take a look at the ASX 200’s daily chart and at face value you’d be justified in thinking, “well, there’s nothing much to see here.”
For the index remains trapped within the tight, 160-point range which has somewhat bizarrely contained all the action on a daily-close basis since mid-May. Indeed, if you strip out the closing highs of mid-June (which at this distance I think we can) the range narrows even further.
A look at the above suggests that the shaded area remains all that traders have to play with, and that they should plan their strategies accordingly. That means buying around current levels and bailing as close to 5800 as their constitutions will allow.
However, if we take a closer look at more recent events, then things take a more sinister turn, at least for bulls.
September 1’s lower high of 5751 had not been confirmed when I last looked at the ASX. It has been now.
Moreover, although the current revival of risk appetite has seen the index gain, it still looks to be moving into a lower “sub range” of the old band, with its top around current levels.
While momentum indicators are giving little away – with the index neither overbought of oversold to any significant degree – it looks as though a tentative “pennant” might be forming on the charts. If sothis is what’s known in technical circles as a continuation pattern which means that, once it resolves, market action will spring back to the status quo ante. That would see the index take a leg lower.
From current levels that could be very significant. Watch the current range bottom; if the pennant scenario plays out, it could be about to give at last.

Quote Of The Day By Henri Nouwen
Henri Nouwen is one of my favourite authors. As I was reading some material of his today, I came across this quote that really spoke to my heart:
"The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing...not healing, not curing, that is a friend who cares."
That's it for today. Hope your day is filled with everything wonderful.

The nanny was startled. She couldn’t balanced herself right and fell to the ground with a “bang”.
The nanny immediately stood up, “Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Cha didn’t have time to talk nonsense with her. She quickly walked over to push her away, then picked up Shen Zhi and pulled out everything stuffed in his mouth.
There was nothing inside his mouth anymore, so Shen Zhi burst into tears.
Jiang Cha took out two wet wipes to wipe Shen Zhi’s face and mouth, while doing so, her fingers trembled with anger.
Her son was so frightened that he couldn’t even stop crying. He was sobbing all the time.
Jiang Cha patted Shen Zhi on the back. At the thought of her son’s attitude, this must have happened more than twice already.
Knowing this fact, Jiang Cha wanted to kill the nanny directly!
Jiang Cha gritted her teeth and said, “shut up.”
The nanny shrunk her neck and was afraid of facing the current Jiang Cha.
Although Jiang Cha didn’t smile much in the past, the nanny only felt that she was difficult to approach. She never had this frightening feeling.
The nanny knew that Jiang Cha would not let her go. She stood there with her eyes down and thought of a way to get out.
Jiang Cha coaxed Shen Zhi for a while. Because of mental fatigue, Shen Zhi fell asleep.
His little hand clung to Jiang Cha’s clothes as if it was his only life-saving straw.
Jiang Cha bit her lips for fear that she would wake her son up.
Shen Rang stood beside Jiang cha.
He was very sad.
As a father, he couldn’t protect his son from pain. Worse, he was the one who hired the person that abused his son.
He and Jiang Cha are both workaholics. In fact, they don’t have much feeling about this unexpected child.
From the birth of the child to the present, Shen Zhi is just four years old, and his time with the two people was very few.
The Shen family hired several nannies, and finally settled with one. Unexpectedly, she was a child abuser.
No wonder in his rare time of being with his son, he would always be cautious, timid and did not talk much.
Shen Rang always thought that it was because he and Jiang Cha did not spend much time together with him, so he did not feel close to them.
Shen Rang raised his eyes and glanced at the surveillance at home.
It has been installed ever since they bought the house. They should be enough evidence for the abuse of their child.
Shen Rang closed his eyes.
This was his fault. He’s neither a good husband nor a good father.
Shen Rang clenched his fist, and with a lower voice he told to Jiang Cha, “You go to the room first with the child in your arms, I’ll deal with her.”
“No.” Jiang Cha calmed herself down, looked up at Shen Rang, and then got up.
Jiang Cha carefully handed Shen Zhi to Shen Rang’s arms and helped him adjust the child’s posture.
Shen Rang rarely held the child and his movements were a little stiff.
But Shen Zhi didn’t wake up at all. Instead, he rubbed his head in his arms.
At this moment, Shen Rang feel something different.
Jiang Cha patted Shen Zhi and whispered to Shen Rang, “You go in with the child, close the door and I’ll deal with her.”
“I…” Shen Rang wanted to refuse. He was afraid that Jiang Cha would be bullied.
Jiang Cha smiled, but there was no feelings in her eyes.
“Don’t. Otherwise someone will say that our Shen family’s man bullies women.”
Our Shen family.
Shen Rang said this few words in his heart before he agreed to Jiang Cha’s proposal.
Shen Rang went to the room with Shen Zhi in his arms. Jiang Cha kept watching them.
When the door closed, Jiang Cha took a deep breath and look at the nanny.
The nanny subconsciously stepped back, “Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang, I can explain, really, I can explain.”
Jiang Cha raised her hand and pointed at the nanny.
“Explain your mother!”
Shen Rang in the room was putting Shen Zhi on the bed. When he heard this, he shivered unconsciously.
Outside… Was it really Jiang Cha?

As Niels Bohr, the Danish physicist, put it, “prediction is very difficult, especially about the future”. Prognostic models are commonplace and seek to help patients and the surgical team estimate the risk of a specific event, for instance, the recurrence of disease or a complication of surgery. “Decision-support tools” aim to help patients make difficult choices, with the most useful providing personalized estimates to assist in balancing the trade-offs between risks and benefits. As we enter the world of precision medicine, these tools will become central to all our practice.
In the meantime, there are limitations. Overwhelming evidence shows that the quality of reporting of prediction model studies is poor. In some instances, the details of the actual model are considered commercially sensitive and are not published, making the assessment of the risk of bias and potential usefulness of the model difficult.
In this edition of HPB, Beal and colleagues aim to validate the American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) Surgical Risk Calculator (SRC) using data from 854 gallbladder cancer and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients from the US Extrahepatic Biliary Malignancy Consortium. The authors conclude that the “estimates of risk were variable in terms of accuracy and generally calculator performance was poor”. The SRC underpredicted the occurrence of all examined end-points (death, readmission, reoperation and surgical site infection) and discrimination and calibration were particularly poor for readmission and surgical site infection. This is not the first report of predictive failures of the SRC. Possible explanations cited previously include small sample size, homogeneity of patients, and too few institutions in the validation set. That does not seem to the case in the current study.
The SRC is a general-purpose risk calculator and while it may be applicable across many surgical domains, it should be used with caution in extrahepatic biliary cancer. It is not clear why the calculator does not provide measures of uncertainty around estimates. This would greatly help patients interpret its output and would go a long way to addressing some of the broader concerns around accuracy.
“Radical-but-conservative” parenchymal-sparing hepatectomy (PSH) for colorectal liver metastases (Torzilli 2017) is increasing reported. The PSH revolution has two potential advantages: avoiding postoperative hepatic failure (POHF) and increasing the possibility of re-do surgery in the common event of future recurrence. However, early series reported worse long-term survival and higher positive margin rates with a parenchymal-sparing approach, with a debate ensuing about the significance of the latter in an era where energy-devices are more commonly employed in liver transection. No randomised controlled trials exist comparing PSH with major hepatectomy and case series are naturally biased by selection.
In this issues of HPB, Lordan and colleagues report a propensity-score matched case-control series of PSH vs. major hepatectomy. The results are striking. The PSH approach was associated with less blood transfusion (10.1 vs 27.7%), fewer major complications (3.8 vs 9.2%), and lower rates of POHF (0 vs 5.5%). Unusually, perioperative mortality (0.8 vs 3.8%) was also lower in the PSH group and longer-term oncologic and survival outcomes were similar.
Results of propensity-matched analyses must always be interpreted with selection bias in mind. Residual confounding always exists: the patients undergoing major hepatectomy almost certainly had undescribed differences from the PSH group and may not have been technically suitable for PSH. Matching did not account for year of surgery, so with PSH becoming more common the generally improved outcomes over time will bias in favour of the parenchymal-sparing approach. Yet putting those concerns aside, there are two salient results. Firstly, PSH promises less POHF and in this series, there was none. Secondly, PSH promises greater opportunity for redo liver surgery. There was 50% liver-only recurrence in both groups. Although not reported by the authors, a greater proportion of PSH patients underwent redo surgery (35/119 (29.4%) vs. 23/130 (17.7%) (p=0.03). Perhaps for some patients, the PSH revolution is delivering some of its promised advantages.
This new analysis took the current mortality data and sought to answer a simple question: how useful is this information in detecting differences in outcome at the individual surgeon level?
Well the answer, in short, is not very useful.
We looked at mortality after planned bowel and gullet cancer surgery, hip replacement, and thyroid, obesity and aneurysm surgery. Death rates are relatively low after planned surgery which is testament to hard working NHS teams up and down the country. This together with the fact that individual surgeons perform a relatively small proportion of all these procedures means that death rates are not a good way to detect under performance.
At the mortality rates reported for thyroid (0.08%) and obesity (0.07%) surgery, it is unlikely a surgeon would perform a sufficient number of procedures in his/her entire career to stand a good chance of detecting a mortality rate 5 times the national average.
Surgeon death rates are problematic in more fundamental ways. It is the 21st century and much of surgical care is delivered by teams of surgeons, other doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, pharmacists, dieticians etc. In liver transplantation it is common for one surgeon to choose the donor/recipient pair, for a second surgeon to do the transplant, and for a third surgeon to look after the patient after the operation. Does it make sense to look at the results of individuals? Why not of the team?
It is also important to ensure that analyses adequately account for the increased risk faced by some patients undergoing surgery. If my granny has had a heart attack and has a bad chest, I don’t want her to be deprived of much needed surgery because a surgeon is worried that her high risk might impact on the public perception of their competence. As Harry Burns the former Chief Medical Officer of Scotland said, those with the highest mortality rates may be the heroes of the health service, taking on patients with difficult disease that no one else will face.
We are only now beginning to understand the results of surgery using measures that are more meaningful to patients. These sometimes get called patient-centred outcome measures. Take a planned hip replacement, the aim of the operation is to remove pain and increase mobility. If after 3 months a patient still has significant pain and can’t get out for the groceries, the operation has not been a success. Thankfully death after planned hip replacement is relatively rare and in any case, might have little to do with the quality of the surgery.
Transparency in the results of surgery is paramount and publishing death rates may be a step towards this, even if they may in fact be falsely reassuring. We must use these data as part of a much wider initiative to capture the success and failures of surgery. Only by doing this will we improve the results of surgery and ensure every patient receives the highest quality of care.
If you have a hunger for statistics on organ transplantation, check out NHS Blood and Transplant. There are regularly updated and reflect what is actually happening in UK transplant today. We should have a competition for novel ways of presenting these visually. Ideas?!
ProPublica, an independent investigative journalism organisation, have published surgeon-level complications rates based on Medicare data. I have already highlighted problems with the reporting of the data: surgeons are described as having a “high adjusted rate of complications” if they fall in the red-zone, despite there being too little data to say whether this has happened by chance.
I say again, I fully support transparency and public access to healthcare. But the ProPublica reporting has been quite shocking. I’m not aware of them publishing the number of surgeons out of the 17000 that are statistically different to the average. This is a small handful.
ProPublica could have chosen a different approach. This is a funnel plot and I’ve written about them before.
A funnel plot is a summary of an estimate (such as complication rate) against a measure of the precision of that estimate. In the context of healthcare, a centre or individual outcome is often plotted against patient volume. A horizontal line parallel to the x-axis represents the outcome for the entire population and outcomes for individual surgeons are displayed as points around this. This allows a comparison of individuals with that of the population average, while accounting for the increasing certainty surrounding that outcome as the sample size increases. Limits can be determined, beyond which the chances of getting an individual outcome are low if that individual were really part of the whole population.
In other words, a surgeon above the line has a complication rate different to the average.
I’ve scraped the ProPublica data for gallbladder removal (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) from California, New York and Texas for surgeons highlighted in the red-zone. These are surgeons ProPublica says have high complication rates.
As can be seen from the funnel plot, these surgeons are no where near being outliers. There is insufficient information to say whether any of them are different to average. ProPublica decided to ignore the imprecision with which the complication rates are determined. For red-zone surgeons from these 3 states, none of them have complication rates different to average.
How likely is it that a surgeon with an average complication rate (4.4%) will appear in the red-zone just by chance (>5.2%)? The answer is, pretty likely given the small numbers of cases here: anything up to a 25% chance depending on the number of cases performed. Even at the top of the green-zone (low ACR, 3.9%), there is still around a 1 in 6 chance a surgeon will appear to have a high complication rate just by chance.
ProPublica have failed in their duty to explain these data in a way that can be understood. The surgeon score card should be revised. All “warning explanation points” should be removed for those other than the truly outlying cases.
ProPublica is an organisation performing independent, non-profit investigative journalism in the public interest. Yesterday it published an analysis of surgeon-level complications rates based on Medicare data.
Publication of individual surgeons results is well established in the UK. Transparent, easily accessible healthcare data is essential and initiatives like this are welcomed.
It is important that data are presented in a way that can be clearly understood. Communicating risk is notoriously difficult. This is particularly difficult when it is necessary to describe the precision with which a risk has been estimated.
Unfortunately that is where ProPublica have got it all wrong.
There is an inherent difficulty faced when we dealing with individual surgeon data. In order to be sure that a surgeon has a complication rate higher than average, that surgeon needs to have performed a certain number of that particular procedure. If data are only available on a small number of cases, we can’t be certain whether the surgeon’s complication rate is truly high, or just appears to be high by chance.
If you tossed a coin 10 times and it came up with 7 heads, could you say whether the coin was fair or biased? With only 10 tosses we don’t know.
Similarly, if a surgeon performs 10 operations and has 1 complication, can we sure that their true complication rate is 10%, rather than 5% or 20%? With only 10 operations we don’t know.
The presentation of the ProPublica data is really concerning. Here’s why.
For a given hospital, data are presented for individual surgeons. Bands are provided which define “low”, “medium” and “high” adjusted complication rates. If the adjusted complication rate for an individual surgeon falls within the red-zone, they are described as having a “high adjusted rate of complications”.
How confident can we be that a surgeon in the red-zone truly has a high complication rate? To get a handle on this, we need to turn to an off-putting statistical concept called a “confidence interval”. As it’s name implies, a confidence interval tells us what degree of confidence we can treat the estimated complication rate.
If the surgeon has done many procedures, the confidence interval will be narrow. If we only have data on a few procedures, the confidence interval will be wide.
To be confident that a surgeon has a high complication rate, the 95% confidence interval needs to entirely lie in the red-zone.
A surgeon should be highlighted as having a high complication rate if and only if the confidence interval lies entirely in the red-zone.
Here is an example. This surgeon performs the procedure to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy). There are data on 20 procedures for this individual surgeon. The estimated complication rate is 4.7%. But the 95% confidence interval goes from the green-zone all the way to the red-zone. Due to the small number of procedures, all we can conclude is that this surgeon has either a low, medium, or high adjusted complication rate. Not very useful.
Here are some other examples.
Adjusted complication rate: 1.5% on 339 procedures. Surgeon has low or medium complication rate. They are unlikely to have a high complication rate.
Adjusted complication rate: 4.0% on 30 procedures. Surgeon has low or medium or high complication rate. Note due to the low numbers of cases, the analysis correctly suggests an estimated complication rate, despite the fact this surgeon has not had any complications for the 30 procedures. Adjusted complication rate: 5.4% on 21 procedures. ProPublica conclusion: surgeon has high adjusted complication rate. Actual conclusion: surgeon has low, medium or high complication rate. Adjusted complication rate: 6.6% on 22 procedures. ProPublica conclusion: surgeon has high adjusted complication rate. Actual conclusion: surgeon has medium or high complication rate, but is unlikely to have a low complication rate. Adjusted complication rate: 7.6% on 86 procedures. ProPublica conclusion: surgeon has high adjusted complication rate. Actual conclusion: surgeon has high complication rate. This is one of the few examples in the dataset, where the analysis suggest this surgeon does have a high likelihood of having a high complication rate.
In the UK, only this last example would to highlighted as concerning. That is because we have no idea whether surgeons who happen to fall into the red-zone are truly different to average.
The analysis above does not deal with issues others have highlighted: that this is Medicare data only, that important data may be missing , that the adjustment for patient case mix may be inadequate, and that the complications rates seem different to what would be expected.
ProPublica have not moderated the language used in reporting these data. My view is that the data are being misrepresented.
ProPublica should highlight cases like the last mentioned above. For all the others, all that can be concluded is that there are too few cases to be able to make a judgement on whether the surgeon’s complication rate is different to average.
Version control has become essential for me keeping track of projects, as well as collaborating. It allows backup of scripts and easy collaboration on complex projects. RStudio works really well with Git, an open source open source distributed version control system, and GitHub, a web-based Git repository hosting service. I was always forget how to set up a repository, so here’s a reminder.
This example is done on RStudio Server, but the same procedure can be used for RStudio desktop. Git or similar needs to be installed first, which is straight forward to do.
Setup Git on RStudio and Associate with GitHub
In RStudio, Tools -> Version Control, select Git.
In RStudio, Tools -> Global Options, select Git//SVN tab. Ensure the path to the Git executable is correct. This is particularly important in Windows where it may not default correctly (e.g. C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin/git.exe). Now hit, Create RSA Key …
Close this window.
Click, View public key, and copy the displayed public key.
If you haven’t already, create a GitHub account. Open your account settings and click the SSH keys tab. Click Add SSH key. Paste in the public key you have copied from RStudio.
Tell Git who you are. Remember Git is a piece of software running on your own computer. This is distinct to GitHub, which is the repository website. In RStudio, click Tools -> Shell … . Enter:
You have now pushed your commit to GitHub, and should be able to see your files in your GitHub account. The Pull Push buttons in RStudio will now also work. Remember, after each Commit, you have to Push to GitHub, this doesn’t happen automatically.
Clone an existing GitHub project to new RStudio project
In RStudio, click New project as normal. Click Version Control.
In Clone Git Repository, enter the GitHub repository URL as per below. Change the project directory name if necessary.
High quality care for patients seven days a week seems like a good idea to me. There is nothing worse than going round the ward on Saturday or Sunday and having to tell patients that they will get their essential test or treatment on Monday.
It was stated in the Queen’s Speech this year that seven day services would be implemented in England as part of a new five-year plan.
In England my Government will secure the future of the National Health Service by implementing the National Health Service’s own five-year plan, by increasing the health budget, integrating healthcare and social care, and ensuring the National Health Service works on a seven day basis.
Work has started in pilot trusts. Of course funding is the biggest issue and details are sketchy. Some hope that the provision of weekend services will allow patients to be discharged quicker and so save money. With the high capital cost of expensive equipment like MRI scanners, it makes financial sense to ‘sweat the assets’ more at weekends where workload is growing or consolidated across fewer providers.
But that may be wishful thinking. The greatest cost to the NHS is staffing and weekend working inevitably means more staff. Expensive medically qualified staff at that. It is in this regard that the plan seems least developed: major areas of the NHS cannot recruit to posts at the moment. Emergency medicine and acute medicine for instance. Where are these weekend working individuals going to come from?
I thought I’d look at our operating theatre utilisation across the week. These are data from the middle of 2010 to present and do not include emergency/unplanned operating. The first plot shows the spread of total hours of operating by day of the week. How close are we to a 7 day NHS?
Well, 3 days short.
I don’t know why we are using are operating theatres less on Fridays. Surgeons in the past may have preferred not to operate on a Friday, avoiding those crucial first post-operative days being on the weekend. But surely that is not still the case? Yet there has been no change in this pattern over the last 4 years.
Here’s a thought. Perhaps until weekend NHS services are equivalent to weekdays, it is safer not to perform elective surgery on a Friday? It is worse than I thought.
Very pleased to to announce that the GlobalSurg protocol has just been published in BMJ Open. As well as this, the study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on the 29 June 2014. Both of these are important to ensure transparency and that the protocol doesn’t change after the start of data commencement.
The recent publication of the Ontario experience in the introduction of Surgical Safety Checklists has caused a bit of a stooshie.
Checklists have consistently been shown to be associated with a reduction in death and complications following surgery. Since the publication of Atul Gawande’s seminal paper in 2009, checklists have been successfully introduced in a number of countries including Scotland. David Urbach and Nancy Baxter’s New England Journal of Medicine publication stands apart: the checklist made no difference.
Atul Gawande himself responded quickly asking two important questions. Firstly, were there sufficient patients included in the study to show a difference? Secondly, was the implementation robust and was the programme in place for long enough to expect a difference be seen.
He and others have reported the power of the study to be low – about 40% – meaning that were the study to be repeated multiple times and a true difference in mortality actually did exist, the chance of detecting it would be 40%. But power calculations performed after the event (post hoc) are completely meaningless – when no effect is seen in a study, the power is low by definition (mathsy explanation here).
There is no protocol provided with the Ontario study, so it is not clear if an estimate of the required sample size had been performed. Were it done, it may have gone something like this.
The risk of death in the Ontario population is 0.71%. This could have been determined from the same administrative dataset that the study used. Say we expect a similar reduction in death following checklist introduction as Gawande showed in 2009, 1.5% to 0.8%. For the Ontario population, this would be equivalent to an expected risk of death of 0.38%. This may or may not be reasonable. It is not clear that the “checklist effect” is the same across patients or procedures of different risks. Accepting this assumption for now, the study would have only required around 8000 patients per group to show a significant difference. The study actually included over 100000 patients per group. In fact, it was powered to show very small differences in the risk of death – a reduction of around 0.1% would probably have been detected.
Similar conclusions can be drawn for complication rate. Gawande showed a reduction from 11% to 7%, equivalent in Ontario to a reduction from 3.86% to 2.46%. The Ontario study was likely to show a reduction to 3.59% (at 90% power).
The explanation for the failure to show a difference does not lie in the numbers.
So assuming then that checklists do work, this negative result stems either from a failure of implementation – checklists were not being used or not being used properly – or a difference in the effect of checklists in this population. The former seems most likely. The authors report that …
… available data did not permit us to determine whether a checklist was used in a particular procedure, and we were unable to measure compliance with checklists at monthly intervals in our analysis. However, reported compliance with checklists is extraordinarily high …
Quality improvement interventions need sufficient time for introduction. In this study, only a minimum of 3 months was allowed which seems crazily short. Teams need to want to do it. In my own hospital there was a lot of grumbling (including from me) before acceptance. When I worked in the Netherlands, SURPASS was introduced. In this particular hospital it was delivered via the electronic patient record. A succession of electronic “baton passes” meant that a patient could not get to the operating theatre without a comprehensive series of checklists being completed. I like this use of technology to deliver safety. With robust implementation, training, and acceptance by staff, maybe the benefits of checklists will also be seen in Ontario.

DealMakers - Q2 2022 (released August 2022)
The B-BBEE Commission (the Commission) was established to encourage and monitor the B-BBEE compliance of Corporate South Africa in order to drive strategic economic outcomes. It was designed to be restricted to exercising investigative powers only, approaching the courts for interdicts in the cases of identified fronting. The defining spirit of the Commission is the B-BBEE Act which, in turn, must be read together with the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act (Equality Act).
The practice of fronting has been identified as a significant impediment to the spirit and development of B-BBEE, and alleged wrongdoers have been hotly pursued by the Commission under the leadership of Commissioner Zodwa Ntuli. More than 80% of complaints received by the Commission relate to this practice.
Over the last eight months, three cases of alleged fronting were brought before the High Court. In all three cases, the findings were almost entirely unfavourable towards the Commission.
In October last year, a case involving the Commission’s publication of a final report on alleged fronting by CRRC E Loco Supply (CRRC) was brought before the High Court in Pretoria. The company – a joint venture between Chinese-owned company CSR: Zhuzhou Electrical Locomotives and empowered entity, Matsete Basadi Consortium – had been investigated by the Commission following two separate complaints lodged by former directors of CRRC.
When the Commission’s final findings’ report duly indicated instances of fronting by CRRC, the company took the matter to the High Court in a bid to stop the report’s publication. While the court did not find grounds for the majority of the complaints made by CRRC, it did rule that the Commission could not publish its final findings’ report, pending the outcome of investigations by other regulatory bodies.
Following the CRRC matter, two further cases on alleged fronting identified by the Commission were heard before the High Court in January and July of this year. In both instances, the Commission’s reports were found to be substantially lacking in factual evidence.
The January court ruling was in favour of Cargo Carriers, a leading provider of supply chain and logistics solutions. It concluded a matter that had begun in 2015, when complaints were made to the Commission by owner-drivers contracted under the Cargo Carriers’ B-BBEE owner-driver initiative (ODI). The complainants alleged insufficient empowerment through the ODI, regarding access to funds, assets and management training. Following an investigation, the Commission concluded in April 2019 that Cargo Carriers had engaged in fronting and was thus in breach of the B-BBEE Act.
In its rulings, the High Court found that “not a single jurisdictional fact for fronting was established by the Commission.” The Court had also noted that despite further documentation provided by Cargo Carriers in response to the Commission’s preliminary findings in June 2018, the final findings in April 2019 were “a copy and paste of the preliminary findings.”
In June this year, a fronting case made by the Commission against Sasol Oil was declared invalid and set aside by the High Court. While the Commission had notified Sasol Oil in 2017 that it was commencing investigations following complaints made against it, the case had its roots in an empowerment transaction entered into in 2006. At the time, Sasol Limited and Sasol Oil entered into an agreement with empowered company, Tshwarisano LFB Investment Proprietary Limited (Tshwarisano), in which the latter acquired a 25% shareholding in Sasol Oil.
At the conclusion of the empowerment transaction in 2015, a complaint was made to Sasol Limited by one of Tshwarisano’s minority shareholders about what it deemed had been an unfair preference share agreement between itself and its funding partner at the time of its share acquisition. Sasol Limited was able to facilitate a settlement agreement between the minority shareholder, Awevest Investment Limited (Awevest), and its funding partner.
When the Commission approached Sasol Oil in 2017, it was to outline a complaint against Sasol Oil, stating that it had been responsible for the unfair terms set out in the original agreement between Awevest and its funding partner, and had thus knowingly engaged in and perpetuated a fronting practice by claiming black ownership points flowing from Awevest’s participation in Tshwarisano.
Upon notification by the Commission of its final findings of fronting and recommended remedial actions in 2019, Sasol Oil approached the High Court. The Commission’s report was invalidated by the High Court, which ruled that “the Commission’s decision was based on incorrect facts and not on admissible evidence. The Commission took irrelevant considerations into account and relevant considerations were not taken into account by the Commission.” Furthermore, the Court ruled that the Commission’s findings were “made arbitrarily or capriciously within the meaning of section 6(2)(e) of PAJA and were irrational within the meaning of the section 6(2)(f)(ii) of PAJA” and “unreasonable within the meaning of section (6)(2)(h) of PAJA”.
The actions of the Commission in all of the abovementioned cases raise concerns. In the case of CRRC, the Court’s rulings indicate, in part, that the Commission was not following due regulatory process; in other words, the Commission had not awaited the outcome of investigations by other regulatory bodies before intending to publish its final findings’ report. Those further investigations could well have had an impact on the Commission’s findings and subsequent recommendations.
In the cases of Cargo Carriers and Sasol Oil, the Commission seemed intent on finding instances of fronting at all costs, neither considering additional documentation supplied to it by both companies following its initial findings, nor balking in the face of poor evidence.
It is doubtful that the Commission’s setbacks will dim government’s quest to rout out fronting. Earlier this year, Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Ebrahim Patel reiterated that resistance to B-BBEE impedes other related policies that the government has introduced, or plans to introduce, in order to broaden economic participation and combat inequality. He said, "Legal challenges against B-BBEE policies have sought to stall through litigation and aggressive posturing, the necessary journey of transforming the economy. It is a dangerous strategy that will fail. It will ultimately undermine the social stability that democracy rests upon."
Fronting was criminalised in the BEE Amendment Act in 2013. Individuals deemed to have had actual knowledge of a fronting practice can face criminal sanctions that might include a fine and/or up to ten years’ imprisonment. Convicted individuals could be barred from doing business with organs of state for a period of ten years from the date of conviction. Companies could be given an administrative penalty of up to 10% of annual turnover, with awarded contracts with organs of state cancelled.
The Commission’s actions, found to be wanting according to South African law, could well undermine the confidence of companies to develop empowerment transactions without fear of prejudice at a later stage. Companies are, nonetheless and in good faith, obliged to seek out empowerment partners to contribute to South Africa’s transformation. In an environment where an organ of state appears, for all intents and purposes, to have gone somewhat rogue, yet remains firmly backed by the state, companies are advised to reach out to empowerment transaction experts so as to create robust, transparent and compliant transaction vehicles that will withstand any scrutiny.

Is the B-BBEE Commission overstepping its powers?
by Evon Jeewan
South Africa’s B-BBEE Commission – the “enforcer” of BEE compliance – has, in recent months, found itself on the wrong side of the law.
Separate rulings made by the High Court indicate that the Commission’s zealous and single-minded approach to fronting could well be at odds with its legislative mandate to function impartially, without fear, favour or prejudice.

We live in times where being well-groomed, stylish and youthful is valued. From teenagers to uber sexual men, a visit to a salon for a regular dose of pampering is the norm. Such lifestyle choices have made cosmetology a promising career option.
Cosmetology is the study and application of beauty treatments. It brings together basic techniques like hair styling and manicures to salon-specific routines like facials, hair treatments etc.
Medical cosmetology, the more intensive side of cosmetology, largely deals with skin care. Problems like pimples, acne, wrinkles, dark spots, require medical expertise.
Treatments like botox and fillers are performed by medical cosmetologists or skin specialists.
Don’t confuse a cosmetologist with a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. A cosmetologist deals with beauty in a non-surgical manner while a plastic surgeon corrects or restores any part of the human body through surgery.
Mumbai-based medical cosmetologist Dr Jamuna Pai has an MBBS degree and specialises in skin and beauty management. “The turning point came when I realised that I could combine my interests in the beauty business with my medical practice,” she says.
As you probably have inferred, there are two aspects of cosmetology:
General Cosmetology: Courses in this field equip students with skills required in salon treatments (hair styling, manicures, facials, waxing etc). A certificate course in General Cosmetology is typically a one-year programme though some institutes offer a three-year programme. Specialised courses such as manicures, facials, or makeup art are usually of shorter duration, usually a six-month, short-term programme.
*VLCC Institute offers a diploma and advanced diploma courses in Cosmetology.
*Kosmoderma Institute in Bangalore offers a course in Cosmetic Dermatology.
*Schnell Hans Beauty School in Mumbai offers a diploma, an advanced diploma and certificate courses in hair dressing.
Medical Cosmetology: The basic requirement to practise medical cosmetology is a medical degree from any reputed medical college. But dermatologists, physicians, dentists with a diploma or master’s degree in dermatology, may also practise medical cosmetology.
Domain knowledge in science is essential as they work on skin, muscles, tissues and veins/ arteries. To perform an advanced cosmetic treatment, a degree in medicine is a must.
After completing an MBBS degree, candidates may undergo a training/ certification programme in order to become a specialist or a trainer.
Indian medical colleges, largely, do not offer these fellowship/ certificate programmes. The only institute that offers a 12-week certificate course in clinical cosmetology is the Indian Institute of Cosmetology in Mumbai.
Scope and career prospects
With a degree in General Cosmetology, one can work in a salon or a spa. Beauty therapists handle facials, clean-ups and hair styling. One can also explore the option of working as a nail technician (manicures/ pedicures/ nail art etc)
With a medical background and a cosmetology course, one can venture into more advanced treatments. Some of the more popular treatments are laser hair removal, anti-ageing treatments like botox, fillers, and skin rejuvenation treatments like chemical peels.
Those who already have a license/ certificate in skin treatment can work as assistants in a skin clinic. Typically, their responsibilities would include helping doctors perform laser treatments, hair removal treatments, chemical peels and so on. This is an ideal start for those who are aspiring to start their own enterprise in the future.
Salary and perks
General cosmetologists can expect a starting salary of Rs 3,000 to Rs 7,000 until they find a foothold in the industry. They can earn up to Rs 50,000 a month once they have three years of experience. Remuneration from medical cosmetology begins at a higher scale.
“A medical cosmetologist works with different skin types and age groups. You cannot always operate with a fixed and standard approach for all the skin types,” says Dr Jamuna Pai.
“Take pleasure in being able to enhance your client’s features. The challenge is in giving your patient realistic expectations and being able to live up to them,” says Dr Purnima Mhatre, Managing Director, Gorgeous Skin Care Clinics, Mumbai.
Keep abreast with latest trends
Research and science constantly throw up new techniques and treatments to minimise signs of ageing. Medical cosmetologists can now perform non-invasive surgeries to reconstruct appearances. Needless to say, a smart approach to move forward in this line of work is to stay abreast with the latest developments that are happening elsewhere in the world.
PG degree in Cosmetology
Anoo’s International Beauty School, in collaboration with Jawaharlal Nehru Technical University, Hyderabad (JNTU) is offering an MSc in Beauty Management. The two-year course will equip students with knowledge of skin, hair and nail aesthetics, and cosmetology, spa, aromatherapy treatments. Practical sessions will be conducted at the institute’s beauty and health care centres. Apart from the post graduate course, the institute also offers 30 short-term, diploma programmes under the same university. Students a bachelor’s degree in any discipline may apply before July 25, 2010. For details, e-mail: email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.org

Should Courts enforce social rights? The Experience of the Colombian Constitutional Court
The debate about the convenience of the judicial enforcement of social rights is one of the major issues that theories of law and democracy are facing today. It is a very difficult discussion, because there are strong arguments in favor of both positive and negative answers. While some argue that social rights must be judicially protected or else they are not real rights, others fear this protection will unavoidably drive to an antidemocratic government by judges.

The digital transformation of financial services organisations is extending into ecosystems, introducing new players and shifting traditional roles. The Institute of International Finance (IIF) and Deloitte have been working together, speaking with public and private institutions, to better understand how these new ecosystems are impacting the industry. These ecosystems are evolving into dynamic networks who create value through complex models of collaboration, competition and innovation. We will look at this across several dimensions in a series of reports.
In this report from the IIF and Deloitte we look at the impact of data policies and the importance of broadening the scope from Open Banking to Open Data, not just Open Finance. We explore how different data-sharing frameworks function as ecosystems with the potential to achieve goals for policymakers and market participants alike. We look at this across six aspects:
Stay tuned for more articles in the series where we will look at embedded finance, platformisation and policy-orchestrated ecosystems.

As companies are becoming more and more hybrid, many of them are based on a collaborative workspace model. Shifting from the traditional framework, where everybody comes to the office every day and has its own desk, to thisconcept is not easy. It requires some structure, a good management plan as well as the right tools. Are you wondering how to set up a shared workspace? Do you know how to manage a flexible office layout? deskbird’s team answers your questions and give you 7 extra useful tips to make this new working landscape a success.
What is a shared workspace? Definition
Meaning of a shared workspace
A shared workspace is an area where employees are using the same equipment and facilities. It can be a physical or an online space depending on the context and needs of the workers. The use of this new working model is increasing as many companies offer fully remote working opportunities or hybrid work options. Employees can book a desk in a public or a private shared workspace, but also within their company’s facilities if they provide a collaborative workspace. In this case, businesses can offer a hot-desking framework for instance.
💡 Good to know: the concept of "shared workspace" differs from "office sharing," which refers to renting different office spaces within an office building to different companies.
Examples of shared working spaces
There are 4 main types of shared workspaces:
Physical and collaborative;
physical and shared;
Virtual and collaborative;
Virtual and shared.
Physical and collaborative spaces allow employees to have a space to work together, with all the necessary equipment and facilities to operate in the best conditions. For example, a meeting room is a co-working space. However, it can also be a place rented by companies for team members to work outside of home or to have a place to meet.
Physical and shared spaces are more based on individual use. A single desk is shared by different people throughout the day or the week. Companies based on a shared desk concept often choose a hot-desking model which allows employees to book a dedicated desk according to their needs.
Virtual and collaborative spaces are used by team members to work together in real-time. It can be an onscreen meeting room or an online whiteboard for instance. A virtual and shared space is more a place to be used individually and to share information. A shared Google Drive is a good example of this kind of virtual collaborative workspace.
How to set up a collaborative workspace? 7 useful tips
1. Inform your employees about this new working model
It takes more time for some people to adapt to new situations. Therefore, it is very important that you talk to your employees about the incoming changes in the office working model. They will have time to think about it and be prepared for this new way of working.
2. Focus on your employees’ requirements
Such a shift in a company is the best occasion for you to give the chance to your team members to communicate about their needs in terms of office space. Take notes and, if possible, try to implement their suggestions. Focusing on employees’ satisfaction is crucial for the success of a company. Taking their feedback into consideration shows that you are caring about your employees’ well-being, an important area to focus on in today’s work environment.
3. Determine the equipment and facilities needed
Becoming a hybrid company can mean that you end up with too many desks according to the number of people that are actually in the office every day. It is important to know how much space, the number of desks as well as other equipment you really need.
💡 To remember: we recommend planning some extra space in case an unplanned event happens. For example, imagine that important clients are coming to your office, and all the meeting rooms are fully booked, what do you do?
4. Create and communicate clear guidelines
Like with anything new, your employees may be a bit confused at the beginning. Where am I supposed to sit? How can I see which desks are still available? What do I do if there is no availability in the office? To help them with this new set-up and to avoid a mountain of questions, it is best to create a clear shared workspace guideline.
5. Plan a variety of different workstations
All your collaborators do not have the same needs, therefore, it is important to define them and take them into consideration. Julius from the customer service team might be totally comfortable in an open space, while Michelle from data, performs better in a quiet area where she can focus. You can also try to build a creative working environment to make the ideas of your team members flourish!
6. Ask your employees for feedback
From the beginning, but also later, it’s important to collect feedback from the people who actually use this space. Is this model matching their requirements? Can they come to the office whenever they want? Do they feel safe when coming to the workplace? According to their answers, you can then analyse and bring some improvements. Never forget, the future of work is employee-focused!
➡️ Do you know about our covid-19 screening tool? Another great feature integrated into our app is to help you ensure a safe and healthy workplace!
7. Work with the right tools for hybrid businesses
Managing a collaborative workspace takes some good organisation skills and the right equipment. Online tools like Slack or Zoom for example have revolutionised the work environment over the last years. In terms of office management, the deskbird’s shared desk booking software makes your life easier.
Why is the deskbird’s collaborative workspace app a great support tool? Interactive floor plan
deskbird hot-desking software is providing real support for businesses that switch to a hybrid working model, and more precisely, to a shared workspace. Thanks to the deskbird app, companies can provide to their workforce an intuitive and useful tool to manage their working schedule. Within a few clicks, they are able to have an overview of their office space and book a dedicated desk.
However, as our focus is employee’s satisfaction, we wanted to go further by creating a new feature: the interactive floor plan. How does it work? In our new feature release: Interactive Floor Plan, we'll tell you how the new feature works in just 3 steps.
Your team members are planning a meeting at the office, but Mathew got caught in a traffic jam and arrives late. He knows the meeting started without him and doesn’t want to interrupt his colleagues to know in which meeting room they are. Mathew opens the deskbird’s app and clicks on the interactive floor plan feature. He can see in real-time who is at the office and where. His team is in meeting room number 4, he’s discreetly joining them without disturbing the current meeting.
Switching from a traditional office layout to a shared workspace requires some organisation. The collaborative workspace should match your needs but also your employees’. Our 7 recommendations should help you achieve this important goal. To help them embrace this working model and provide them with an easy tool to plan their schedule, deskbird’s shared desk reservation system is a must-have!

THE FOLLOWING IS THE FULL TEXT of D.V. Gundappa’s advice to young men who wished to enter public life to offer national service or generally wanted to contribute to national life in some meaningful way.
DVG has mentioned the backdrop that occasioned this letter. It was first published in the October 1971 issue of the Public Affairs journal that he edited.
In both form and content, the letter exhibits the typical flair of DVG — brevity, simplicity, grace, wisdom and uncompromising intellectual integrity. The advice derives its authority because its author has lived every word he has written.
It is our humble and sincere suggestion that readers take a printout of this brilliant piece and/or memorise it.
Here is the substance of what I wrote in reply to a young friend - a senior class student in a college - who asked me for advice as to what young people can do in the present predicament of the country. His question was based upon what I said to Sri G. P. Rajaratnam in the course of an A. I. R. interview broadcast on 6-9-1971 referring, among other matters, to the work of the Gokhale Institute of Public Affairs. I think there are others interested in the subject and I therefore have thought of publishing the letter here:
1. Conditions are, as you say, black and threatening on all sides. But let us give no room to despair. So long as there are young men among us of your earnestness to worry themselves about the country, India may well cherish every hope for her future. Your seriousness of the citizen-sense is our surest guarantee.
2. You find that money-grabbers and office-grabbers have seized seats of power. Please keep note of this for days when you come yourself into the world's Work. Make up your mind once for all never to seek a public position in order to make private gain.
You will no doubt need a means of livelihood — a job, a profession, a business. Not only is it desirable that you should have a definite occupation, it is imperatively necessary that you should have one. Economic competence in private life is a condition of independence in public life. Indeed the first duty of patriotism is that you should avoid becoming a burden upon society.
3. Herein is a pitfall. In the name of economic sufficiency, you may cross the limits of honesty and honour, and land yourself in ambition and self-seeking. To avoid this mortal danger, you have first to accustom yourself to ways of simplicity and keep nerves of steel against temptation and the lures of opulent living.
If you are not capable of resisting money-temptation and the temptation of public applause, you had better keep away from the public field. As a vernacular proverb puts it, you had better not foul the atmosphere in the temple rather than go as a worshipper and add to the stench of the crowds there.
4. Then, when you have kept self-seeking far away, your duty will be to study one or more questions of public welfare. Lack of knowledge and understanding in public men is our second great poverty, next to our poverty in moral idealism. Where we have moral purity and elevation of mind, fanaticism becomes our misfortune. Blindness to the other man's point of view, refusal to see at least the possibility of there being another view of the matter betokens insensibility to conditions of justice and is, to that extent, a lapse from the moral principle.
5. After acquiring knowledge and expelling bias of every kind comes the duty of articulation. Here too, India's poverty is lamentable. Not that we have no clever or intelligent men who are good public speakers. But they lack the strength of will to bear the responsibility of sharing in the formation and expression of public opinion. They exhaust their public spirit in street-corner grumblings and club-room fulminations. They love to hear denunciatory speeches made by others and hug any burning slogan to their bosom as all that there is to say. In one word, they have enough public spirit to be discontented and not enough public spirit to give reasoned and coherent utterance to that discontent. This deficiency in our democratic organization, it will be for our young men of the future to rectify. They should cultivate the habit of responsible public statement on public issues.
6. It is next to no good to look for improvements through legislatures and such other governmental bodies. They are formal in their procedures, and to be formal is not necessarily to be cognizant of the unofficially observable, but officially unrecognized, realities of the case. Any formal body or organ of Government is, in the very nature of our existing democracy, bound to be a tool of the ruling party. The majority of its members would naturally be people belonging to the ruling party and bound to vote for its view.
7. Democracy becomes a farce when designing careerists dominate it. Party is often their organization. It has as its nucleus the ambition of an individual or a group of individuals working for power for their hands and all that power would mean.
8. But parties or political groups are unavoidable. People having some common purpose to serve must have the liberty to form an association so long as their purpose is one not prohibited by law. And as interests are naturally various, parties are various, pulling the public interest in various directions.
9. Thus while the bodies of the legislature and the Government have their undoubted uses, it is needful that there should be a means of ensuring that those bodies carry out their functions in the manner intended; and here is the necessity for an institution of uncommitted and free-minded citizenship.
10. It is for the educated young men of today and tomorrow to build up such an institution. That is the only way I see to a good future.
11. We must once for all give up the notion that progress can be achieved by dramatic or revolutionary methods. Progress must be a slow process, as it means the education of the public mind to a new ideal and a new purpose. Our mental habits are not changed as easily as our clothes.
12. We must make up our mind to go forward with deliberate, gradual foot-steps.
13. Let me now summarise:
1) Don’t be obliged to anyone else for your living. Also not playing the parrot to any one else.
2) Delimit your worldly ambitions.
3) Avoid, as long as possible, joining a formal party organization.
4) But when you come to think that joining a party will promote the public interest better than your working solitarily, do two preliminary studies: (i) Examine your own mind and define to yourself the principles and ideals which are essential to you; (ii) Examine the objects and principles of the party that commends itself to you and the history of that party in actual working.
If, finally, you decide to join, make it clear to that party, when joining, that your membership will continue so long as the party will remain true to the principles you mark as essential.
5) But the work that needs to be done lies outside party and outside the houses of legislature — in the public platform and the press.
6) If you can form a group of non-party citizens for your work, so much the better.
7) Contest no elections.
8) You may agree to be a candidate for an election if your candidature will not be contested.
9) But it will be your duty to see that all elections are held under fair and just conditions.
10) Your duty will be more outside legislatures and other formal bodies than in them. You will think and act for the public at large — without reference to party, or religion, or caste or creed or economic class or social group. The general public will be your client, and the open platform will be your field of action, while your own conscience and good sense will be your guide in the light of knowledge and thought cultivated by study.
14. The future of the country will be what the educated young men of today will make it.
15. It will not do for young men to sit with folded hands on the plea that they have no responsibility and no power to act. The action called for is not on the physical plane; but it is on the moral plane and the intellectual plane of living. And the moral and intellectual planes are the field belonging to the student and the thinker and the moralist.
16. Never think of attempting a Utopia. Utopias are built either with self-perfected men and women or with brainless robots of obedience; but not with such mixture of good and bad as we are. Attempt at Utopia is therefore a delusion. It causes diversion of attention and energy which should go to little improvements that are achievable. The Utopia is thus the enemy of the practicable good.
17. Finally, young men must once for all banish all dreams of bringing about a change for the better by the use of brute force. Nothing is so damaging to the county's future as the spirit of demonstration of protests and resentment. Gheraos, Dharnas and mass-howling are repugnant to the spirit of India's culture and civilization. India has been gentle, forbearing and she would rather bear a little injustice herself than be unjust to others. I think it the duty of every young man to promote the spirit of harmony and friendly compromise with those whose interests differ from his own. A little loss suffered in order to win a lasting friendship is a surer gain and a more durable gain than success won through the loss of a desirable friendship.
I shall now close, wishing you the best of life.
D. V. G.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death with a 5-year survival rate of 10%. Quantitative CT perfusion (CTP) can provide additional diagnostic information compared to the limited accuracy of the current standard, contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). This systematic review evaluates CTP for diagnosis, grading, and treatment assessment of PDAC. The secondary goal is to provide an overview of scan protocols and perfusion models used for CTP in PDAC. The search strategy combined synonyms for 'CTP' and 'PDAC.' Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science were systematically searched from January 2000 to December 2020 for studies using CTP to evaluate PDAC. The risk of bias was assessed using QUADAS-2. 607 abstracts were screened, of which 29 were selected for full-text eligibility. 21 studies were included in the final analysis with a total of 760 patients. All studies comparing PDAC with non-tumorous parenchyma found significant CTP-based differences in blood flow (BF) and blood volume (BV). Two studies found significant differences between pathological grades. Two other studies showed that BF could predict neoadjuvant treatment response. A wide variety in kinetic models and acquisition protocol was found among included studies. Quantitative CTP shows a potential benefit in PDAC diagnosis and can serve as a tool for pathological grading and treatment assessment; however, clinical evidence is still limited. To improve clinical use, standardized acquisition and reconstruction parameters are necessary for interchangeability of the perfusion parameters.

To Verify or Not to Verify: Twitter Checkmark Pandemonium Point of View (POV)
Published On: 04/04/2023
On Saturday April 1st, Twitter began taking down its previous legacy checkmark program. (No, it wasn’t a joke.) Twitter has already added 2 other verification checkmarks in addition to Twitter Blue, including the Verification for Organizations/gold checkmark and Verification for Government/gray checkmark. We will review the features and differences between Twitter Blue and Verification for Organizations below.
Twitter Blue/the blue checkmark, released December 12, 2023, is between $8-$11/month for individual accounts. Top features include editing Tweets, longer video uploads, and Tweet character limits, and (possibly) priority display in reply chains.
Verification for Organizations/the gold checkmark will be $1,000/month for an organization with $50/month per affiliate account. An affiliate is any account the organization wants to associate with their brand (i.e., “leadership, brands, support handles, employees, or teams” as Twitter states). In addition to all the Twitter Blue features, the gold checkmark will give the organization new dashboard access and premium support as well as the Twitter Blue features. Twitter’s top 10,000 most-followed organizations and 500 biggest advertisers will be able to get the gold checkmark free.
It’s clear that Twitter’s model has shifted to a pay-to-play/pay-to-be-visible model. They are banking on organizations’ competitiveness to be verified because there is no decided platform that can replace it. (While Mastodon is making its way up, it’s still more complicated to use and a little niche-y with mostly tech-savvy users so far.)
Beyond the Twitter visibility factor, there are other considerations for choosing to pay-in or opt-out of the new verification policy. There’s the well-known fake account problem and the platform’s traffic decline to take into account. There’s concern about how verification may lessen the value of visibility on the platform: the Twitter feed may be seen more as promotional advertising… a feed of people willing to pay for verification means a limited set of voices for users to hear. Some organizations, including The New York Times, are decidedly against the Twitter subscription plans.
Ultimately, this is a Twitter user/organizational decision. From DBE’s perspective, you may want to take a moment before verifying. With changes happening so quickly, we don’t know if/how the prices or subscription models will continue to change. We don’t know who and how many organizations will jump on the verification bandwagon. We will be keeping a close eye on developments and suggest you do, too. Please let us know if you have any questions or thoughts. We will be happy to help.

Virtual Reality Gaming on PlayStation: A New Era of Immersive Entertainment
Virtual reality (VR) has revolutionized the gaming industry, offering players an unparalleled level of immersion and interactivity. With the release of PlayStation VR, Sony has brought this cutting-edge technology into the living rooms of millions of gamers around the world. In this article, we will explore the features and capabilities of PlayStation VR, its compatibility with a wide range of games, and the impact it has had on the gaming community.
The Birth of PlayStation VR
PlayStation VR, also known as PSVR, was released by Sony Interactive Entertainment in October 2016. It quickly became a game-changer in the world of gaming, as it provided an accessible and affordable way for gamers to experience virtual reality. Unlike other VR platforms that required expensive gaming PCs, PlayStation VR only required a PlayStation 4 console, making it more accessible to a larger audience.
Immersive Gameplay Experience
One of the key features of PlayStation VR is its ability to provide an immersive gameplay experience. The headset, equipped with high-resolution OLED displays and a 360-degree tracking system, transports players into a virtual world where they can interact with their surroundings. The combination of visual and audio effects creates a sense of presence that enhances the overall gaming experience.
Wide Range of Compatible Games
PlayStation VR boasts an impressive library of games that cater to various genres and preferences. From action-packed adventures to mind-bending puzzles, there is something for everyone. Popular titles such as “Resident Evil 7: Biohazard,” “Astro Bot Rescue Mission,” and “Beat Saber” have garnered critical acclaim for their innovative use of VR technology. These games take full advantage of PlayStation VR’s capabilities, providing players with unique and immersive gameplay experiences.
The Impact on the Gaming Community
The introduction of PlayStation VR has had a significant impact on the gaming community. It has not only attracted new players but also reinvigorated the interest of existing gamers. The ability to step into virtual worlds and interact with them in a more natural and intuitive way has sparked excitement and curiosity among gamers of all ages. Additionally, PlayStation VR has opened up new possibilities for game developers, who are now exploring innovative ways to create immersive experiences that were previously unimaginable.
Furthermore, PlayStation VR has also fostered a sense of community among gamers. With the ability to share gameplay experiences through social media platforms and online communities, players can connect with others who share their passion for virtual reality gaming. This sense of community has led to the formation of dedicated VR gaming groups and events, where players can come together to discuss their favorite games, share tips and tricks, and even compete against each other in virtual tournaments.
The Future of PlayStation VR
As technology continues to advance, the future of PlayStation VR looks promising. Sony has already announced plans for a next-generation VR system for the PlayStation 5 console, which promises even more immersive experiences and improved performance. With advancements in display technology, haptic feedback, and motion tracking, the next iteration of PlayStation VR is set to push the boundaries of virtual reality gaming even further.
In conclusion, PlayStation VR has ushered in a new era of immersive entertainment, bringing virtual reality gaming into the mainstream. Its accessibility, wide range of compatible games, and impact on the gaming community have solidified its position as a leading player in the VR market. As technology continues to evolve, the future of PlayStation VR looks bright, promising even more exciting and immersive experiences for gamers around the world.

To help Americans who suffer at the pump, Joe Biden gave out five million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve of the United States.
As it was revealed that between a fifth and a sixth of the reserved oil that the president boasted about releasing to improve supply really traveled offshore to nations in Europe and Asia in June, the president is being charged with executing a cunning maneuver.
Since April, Biden has approved the release of a million barrels each day. But despite his efforts, gas prices have continued to rise, with the national average resting at $4.74 per gallon as of Tuesday, which is still significantly more than the $2.28 average from just before he took office.
Government representatives are defending the President, saying that without his efforts, domestic gas prices would be significantly higher. He declared that he has approved the largest-ever oil release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR), releasing an extra million barrels of oil daily on average for the six months starting in April.
In a statement, the White House claimed that the President's action demonstrates his willingness to battle for Americans facing price increases as a result of Putin. Biden is acting in an instantaneous and reflexive manner in order to secure American energy independence.
Nearly 8% of the Gross Domestic Product of the United States and 10.3 million employees are supported by the oil and natural gas sector. Every year, they invest hundreds of billions of dollars locally to promote economic growth.
People in America are criticizing the President's present actions because they think he should be more focused on improving the country's economic situation rather than distracting attention from the issues with “Putin's Price Hike.”

There are limits to how far voices carry, even if those voices are lifted in song. The distance between the Hoosier State and the Palmetto State does not seem to stop Erin Phillips, an award-winning music educator with roots in Rochester, Indiana.
Currently, in her third year as Choir Director of the Walhalla High School Choir in Walhalla, South Carolina, Phillips traces her love of music to her mother, who always inspired and encouraged her to sing.
“We were involved in music and dance at our church for as long as I can remember," she says. "I loved it so much, and she always nurtured that and encouraged us to participate.”
That included participating under the direction of Donna Frissinger in a group called Arise. Arise is a musical singing group affiliated with Faith Outreach Center in Rochester. Participating in the musical group helped to light the spark that inspired Erin to gravitate toward music as her education continued. She cites a band director and a choir director as influential in keeping her on a musical path.
“We were always performing; they offered events for us to participate in to get as much experience as we could- or as much as we wanted.”
Knowing she wanted to pursue a career in music, Erin earned her Master's Degree in Vocal Performance but only later realized that teaching was her true calling. She went back to school to obtain a Teaching Certification for Music with an emphasis on choral music and soon found herself instructing at Ridge View High School in Columbia, South Carolina. After five years at that school, she moved on to her current position in Walhalla.
Under her guidance, Walhalla HS Choir students have participated in several esteemed regional events, earning awards and outstanding recognition in choir competitions and showcases. They were also invited to play at New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall in April 2020, but the event was sidelined, as many things were, by the COVID-19 crisis. Undeterred by the disruptive impact the virus has had on her students and herself, Erin continues to appreciate the opportunity to help young people discover their voices.
“Working with them is an awesome job! I have definitely learned how to be more flexible and more patient,” she says. “What I want to offer my students is opportunity and experience, and to inspire them to continue to consume choral music after they leave school- by participating in choir in college or within their community.”

CLARKSVILLE, TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES, July 29, 2021 — dinCloud, a leader in Virtual Workspaces and Cloud Services stated that secure and robust cloud infrastructure is the key to success in 2021 and moving forward.
The cloud industry has rapidly evolved over the past few years, and dinCloud has been an integral part of this evolution process. dinCloud has pieced together its cloud infrastructure with productivity, flexibility and security as the core elements.
We offer a wide array of cloud solutions such as Hosted Workspaces, Servers and Databases in the Cloud. Our state of the art cloud infrastructure gives you secure and easy access to nearly limitless storage, compute and processing resources.
This flexibility that is inherent in dinCloud’s solutions make it ideally suited for remote work scenarios. With our cloud infrastructure powering your data and apps, your workforce would be productive from any location, whether it’s the office, home or elsewhere.
You can avail dinCloud’s infrastructure as a service, at a fraction of the costs incurred over on-premise alternatives. This benefit is further augmented with dinCloud’s flat rate pricing model, so there are no hidden costs or unwelcome surprises in your cloud bill.

We rely on multiple means to secure your valuable data and apps that are hosted over our cloud infrastructure. We have virtual firewalls, encryption, ransomware and malware protection, endpoint security, user authentication and safe web browsing, to name a few.

Based on our global footprint of cloud data centers, our infrastructure provides unrivaled Business Continuity (BC) to your mission critical workloads. A robust Disaster Recovery (DR) is offered both as part of the core service, or as a standalone solution.
dinCloud’s infrastructure gives you the flexibility to choose a DR and BC plan that best suits your unique preferences, industry benchmarks or regulatory needs. As we head towards a Work from Anywhere (WFX) environment, you need a reliable partner like dinCloud.

Honest and convincing
DS: Lilli, for how many years in total have you lived in Peru?
LW: Roughly seven and a half years. Most of my time I spent as a teacher at Diospi Suyana’s Colegio. The last six weeks a friend and I spent in a Quechua village, as we wanted to truly experience the people’s living conditions.
DS: As a missionary teacher we did not pay you. How did you make ends meet?
LW: I have no fixed salary, but am dependent on the willing donations of my supporters. However, I never urged people to support me financially. I firmly trusted God that he would provide for me.
DS: Your faith in God does you credit, but, be honest, did you ever go hungry?
LW: No, I always had more than enough so that I could even give to others. I am 100% convinced that God cares for my needs.
DS: Did you ever regret exiting the German schooling system for so many years?
LW: Not in the slightest, since I knew that God wanted to have me here in Peru.
DS: What was your most life-changing experience during your time in Peru?
LW: Before starting at the Diospi-Suyana-School I was extremely concerned as to whether I would be able to lead a primary school class. I simply doubted that I knew enough Spanish. At the same time I had to temporarily leave the country in order to extend my visa. These moments of stress were a real test of stamina for me. But I learnt that God’s power becomes so real when we feel weak and powerless.
DS: Now you are heading back to Germany, initially, however, two weeks of quarantine. What happens then?
LW: I will spend as much time as I can with my family, as my mother is seriously ill.
DS: Do you think you might come back to Peru some day?
LW: If God definitely says “Go”, well, then of course!
DS: You believe then that something like God’s guidance really exists. How would explain it to a non-Christian?
LW: I experience an inner certainty, a deep peace. The process can last months. Advice given by friends and Bible verses I come across during my quiet times point me in a certain direction. Looking back on my life I can say that God has blessed and confirmed my path. I think that it is important being prepared to do God’s will whatever the circumstances and not to follow self-made plans.
DS: What experiences did you have during those weeks when you lived in a remote Indian village?
LW: A friend of mine and I lived in the mountains in extremely simple conditions: a cold shower in the morning, a sheepskin thrown on some wood as a bed. It was often drafty in the hut, especially at night. And since the paths get soggy in the rainy season we got used to wearing boots all the time. It sounds rather negative. But I want to underline the fact that I consider it a privilege that I was made a part of a village community. I regularly discovered that we often were at the right place at the right time. I will never forget the conversations I had with the locals. In many situations we saw God at work. Experiencing that was very impressive for me.
DS: Do you think that the Mountain Indians suffer under their hard life circumstances and are therefore sad?
LW: Being happy in life in not dependent on external circumstances. (S)He who experiences God being near feels safe and secure irrespective of whether one is living in a hut at an altitude of 3,500m or in a presidential palace at the time.
DS: In a couple of hours you will be on a plane Germany-bound. The next station is clear, but the future remains hidden.
LW: That is true. I simply trust in God that he knows the way and will lead me. He definitely can plan better than I can.
DS: I wish you a travelling mercies and God’s blessing for your next steps.

Easter is only a few weeks away. You probably have plans to entertain your family for a great Easter Sunday meal. I have a few inexpensive and Simple Easter Table Setting ideas, that will help you set a beautiful table for your family and friends.
You don’t need expensive things to make your table look nice for Easter. Just a little bit of time and imagination. I don’t buy table napkins, tablecloths and place mats every year, but I hadn’t in a long time, so this year I bough these nice blue place mats and white and blue polka dots table napkins that are perfect for an Easter or Spring table setting.
I used the Easter Eggs I decorated with my kids, and placed them inside a glass flower jar. I placed the jar on a wood slice and added candles. I also added two painted Mason jars with baby’s breath (from Costco) on each sides. That makes a lovely colorful Easter centerpiece.
Just imagine how proud your kids will be when you display the eggs they’ve decorated as your Easter centerpiece.
You could also use a larger painted Mason jar with baby’s breath.
Or one painted Mason jar with two lanterns. I purchased the lanterns at the dollar store.
These are just a few ideas to help you create a nice and Simple Easter Table Setting. Hope these inspired you. Have a great Easter !
Here are more great Easter Ideas:
Thanks for visiting Do It All Working Mom.

Ryan from Gilbert, Az writes
There are some fruit trees that are not in the area I want to treat but will be affected by common flood irrigation. Fruit production is over for this year. Am I within safe ratings for use regarding the fruit trees production next year?
We need more information in order to answer your question. What type of fruit trees are you going to be doing a preventative treatment on? How long after could the possible flooding happen? Please let us know.

The considerations and thoughts listed below is what I often tell my clients in response to the question, "Should You Tell Your Probation Officer About a New Arrest?"
Many probation clients find themselves faced with a dilemma after they have been arrested and have bonded out on new charges. They ask: should I tell my probation officer in Georgia of the new charges (which could result in an immediate probation violation arrest)?
Condition #1 of just about any criminal sentence in Georgia is "Do not violate the laws of this or any other governmental unit." The commission of a new offense while on probation would constitute a violation of that condition. However, being arrested for violating a law is not the same as having committed a violation of the law, and being arrested for a new offense is notk in and of itself, a probation violation; nonetheless, if a probationer is arrested for a new offense and his or her probation officer (PO) learns of it, a blazing red flag appears that the probationer may have violated Condition #1. So, what to do about it?
Breaching Trust of Your Probation Officer
Most probation officers will want to develop a rapport with their probationers and establish a level of trust that better serves both parties throughout the monitoring process. If a probationer fails to disclose an arrest, that failure may not only break a signed 'rules of understanding' agreement that might have been originally signed with probation, but it will also breach the trust of the probation officer. When that PO/probationer trust is breached, the consequences can be serious: any sentencing or resolution recommendation the PO may make as to the probation violation will likely be much worse than if there had been full disclosure; if/when the PO ultimately finds out about the arrest, there will definitely be a warrant for the probationer's arrest; the PO may not speak favorably to the prosecutor in the new case; getting the probationer on a revocation court calendar gets delayed and, accordingly, the wait-time in jail could increase, and the terms of future reporting are negatively affected and any 'breaks' the PO may be willing to give are probably gone.
When a probationer has bonded on a new offense and then tells the probation officer about the new charges, many times the probation officer will take a 'wait and see' approach and, prior to seeking revocation, will see what the disposition is of the new, "underlying" charges; or, even if the PO does not take a 'wait and see' approach, the PO may be willing to give a "walk-in" court hearing for the probation revocation; this "walk-in" hearing would not require that the probationer first turn himself in before he goes before the judge, which is a really, really helpful perk for the probationer.
While it is true that a PO may still arrest a probationer on-the-spot if a new arrest is reported, the consequences of not telling the PO of the new arrest can be dire. Obviously, if the PO has no way of finding out about the arrest, then the only way the PO learns of it is through an admission of the probationer, and probationers sometimes choose to hide the new development and hope to get away with it. Depending on how on-the-ball or actively involved the PO is, this could, on occasion, be successful.
We Live in an Age of Technology
However, the technology that allows for immediate sharing of criminal records information between government agencies has greatly improved over the past few years, and most probation officers (especially those working with the Georgia Department of Corrections, such as county felony probation officers) will not have any difficulty in checking on a probationer's current criminal status with GCIC (the central database where criminal arrests and convictions are transmitted in Georgia). As such, a probationer crossing his/her fingers and hoping the PO will not learn of the arrest is a significant gamble, and the odds are not in the probationer's favor.
Navigating through the thicket of probation concerns in the middle of worrying about the consequences for the new arrest itself is very difficult. Dealing with these issues without a Gwinnett County criminal defense lawyer is like jumping out of a plane using a parachute with a poor safety record: with so much at stake, it would seem like a good idea to invest in a good lawyer.
At Fox Firm, P.C., providing a safety net and the security of a good lawyer is our pride and specialty. Probation violation cases are no exception and Fox Firm, P.C., located in Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County, Georgia, welcomes the opportunity to represent probationers charged with probation violation all around metro Atlanta.

“20|20” – the first human eye-resolution immersive display
29 September 2017
Varjo Technologies is demonstrating the world’s first head mounted display that replicates how the human eye naturally works.
San Francisco Skyline - Comparison of details in the scenery (Credit: Varjo)
Designed for professional users and with resolutions more than 70X beyond any currently shipping or announced head-mounted display (including Magic Leap), this major technology advancement enables unprecedented levels of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR) realism. This is accomplished by Varjo’s patented technology that replicates how the human eye naturally works, creating a super-high-resolution image to the users gaze direction. This is further combined with video-see-through (VST) technology for unparalleled AR/MR capabilities.
Codenamed “20|20” after perfect vision, Varjo’s prototype is based on unique technology created by a team of optical scientists, creatives and developers who formerly occupied top positions at Microsoft, Nokia, Intel, Nvidia and Rovio. This technology will be shipping in Varjo-branded products specifically for professional users and applications starting in late Q4, 2017.
Varjo has demonstrated 20|20 to more than 30 technology journalists and analysts worldwide. Comparative images between different headsets and more can be found here.

So I'm back again. Over the past few months, I have enjoyed connecting with people again via social media. It seems that Facebook and Instagram were letting me post things, and I started to build up a new audience again. The devil fools with the best made plans. This morning I was hacked on both Facebook and Instagram. Completely shut out of my accounts. I know I could go through some dubious account recovery process. But I simply can't be bothered. This email and content writing is kind of like clapping with one hand. It doesn't have the spontaneity or networking value like social media does. For my own sanity it provides some creative outlet. So I guess I'll be back here, writing my little rants and posting my pictures. It's not easy being yourself nowadays - especially when its so different from the norm. Hope you are all keeping well.

Constantly dealing with unwanted body hair is a hassle that no one wants to go through. While some people do continue to shave and wax, there are long-term options out there for quickly and painlessly removing hair follicles. This includes laser hair removal, a modern treatment that could leave you with smooth and hair-free skin for weeks at a time. If you are considering your options for removing hair, take a look at these five facts about laser hair removal.
1. It Can Be Done Anywhere On the Body
Many people tend to think that laser hair removal is restricted to areas such as the legs and armpits, but this treatment option can be used practically anywhere. We have patients utilize this treatment for unwanted hair all over their body including the arms, back, upper lip, face, and bikini line.
2. Dark Hair Is Easiest to Remove
The process of removing hair with lasers is a relatively complex one. The lasers actually operate at a wavelength that is absorbed by melanin, or the dark pigment found in hair and skin. While laser hair removal can be very effective for lighter hair, the pigment found in dark hair responds wonderfully to these lasers.
3. Laser Hair Removal Is Not Permanent
Just as with shaving and waxing, laser hair removal is not going to be permanent. Luckily, it is typically going to last much longer than almost any other option as long as it is carried out correctly. Due to the fact that hair must be in the growing stage in order to be removed, we suggest that patients schedule additional touch-ups in the following weeks to remove any new hair.
4. Irritation Is Minimal
The sensation caused by laser hair removal is a unique one, and most patients describe it as a stinging feeling. Luckily, the discomfort is over quickly and is generally going to be less painful than other options such as waxing. After using the laser, the skin may be red for a short period of time, but patients will then be able to enjoy smooth skin with practically no irritations such as ingrown hairs.
5. Not All Offices Are the Same
The final thing patients should realize is that all offices are not the same. Our team takes the time to understand your own unique needs and then helps you build a treatment plan around those needs. We utilize only the most advanced tools and techniques in order to minimize discomfort without sacrificing the final results. We can also combine laser hair removal with a wide variety of other non-invasive procedures so that you can recreate your look from the ground up.
Smooth and silky skin no longer requires daily shaving or ongoing trips to the boutique for wax sessions. Instead, give Dr. Decorato a call today and set up an appointment to see if this amazing treatment is right for you.

Masashi & Trouble
Masahi has adopted Trouble as a "big brother" and Trouble has apparently taken over this role you!
The two dogs romp together on the meadow, rolling through the grass and run wrestling where most Masashi is allowed to win the match.
Trouble - is aware of his physical superiority - then threw himself on his back and can Masashi gain the upper hand and looking forward to it like a Cheshire Cat!
This behavior has nothing whatsoever to do with dominance behavior, we experienced two dogs that just play!
Masashi - a true all-rounder
In a moment, seemingly lost in thought and dreaming Masashi sitting on the lawn and the next moment he fired at house like a Tasmanian devil swirl across the meadow.
An absolute joyful dog, fine with many facets!
On the one hand, a gentleman who fondly clings to cuddle
and then come alive again a whirlwind of running
with the wind to race.

Dreaming about Jesus can be a powerful and evocative experience. For many people, dreams about the Saviour are a source of comfort, guidance, and spiritual insight. But what do these dreams really mean?
One possible interpretation of dreaming about Jesus is that it represents a desire for spiritual guidance or reassurance. For those who are going through a difficult time or questioning their faith, seeing Jesus Christ in a dream can be a comforting and reassuring experience. It may also be a sign that the dreamer is seeking a deeper connection to their faith or spiritual path.
Another possible interpretation is that it represents a connection to the divine or a higher power. For some people, dreams about god are a way of connecting with the divine and receiving guidance or insight from a higher source.
Whether you believe in a specific religion or simply feel a sense of spiritual connection, dreaming about Jesus can be a powerful reminder of the presence of a higher power in your life.
Understanding Dreams About Jesus Christ
Dreams about biblical characters are not uncommon, and they can hold significant meaning for those who experience them.
While the interpretation of such dreams can vary depending on the individual’s beliefs and experiences, there are some common themes and symbols that can help shed light on what these dreams might mean.
One important thing to keep in mind is that dreams about Jesus are not necessarily religious in nature. They can be interpreted in a spiritual or psychological context as well. Dreams are often a reflection of the dreamer’s subconscious mind, and they can reveal hidden fears, desires, and emotions.
When interpreting dreams about any character, it is important to pay attention to the details. What was Jesus doing in the dream? What was the dreamer doing? Were there any specific symbols or images that stood out?
All of these factors can help provide insight into what the dream might be trying to communicate.
Some common interpretations of dreams about Jesus Christ include:
- Seeking guidance: Dreams about any messiah can be a sign that the dreamer is seeking guidance or reassurance in their life. This could be related to spiritual matters, personal relationships, or career decisions.
- Finding peace: Dreams about Jesus can also be a sign that the dreamer is seeking peace and comfort in their life. This could be related to past traumas or current stressors.
- Spiritual growth: Dreams about Jesus Christ can be a sign that the dreamer is on a path of spiritual growth and enlightenment. This could be related to a desire to deepen one’s faith or to explore new spiritual practices.
Overall, dreams about divine characters can hold deep meaning and significance for those who experience them.
By paying attention to the details and symbols in the dream, the dreamer can gain insight into their own subconscious mind and the messages it is trying to communicate.
Dreaming about Jesus holds significant religious importance for those who believe in Christianity. For Christians, Jesus is the Son of God, and his teachings and life serve as a guide for their faith.
Therefore, when Jesus appears in a dream, it can be interpreted as a message from God or a spiritual experience.
Dreams about Jesus can be a manifestation of the dreamer’s religious beliefs, faith, or spiritual journey. For example, if someone is going through a period of doubt or questioning their faith, dreaming about Jesus may serve as a symbol of seeking guidance or finding reassurance in their beliefs.
In Christianity, Jesus is believed to be the savior of humanity, who died on the cross for the sins of mankind. Therefore, dreaming about Jesus can also be interpreted as a sign of forgiveness or redemption for one’s sins.
It can also be a symbol of hope and faith in God’s promises.
Dreams about Jesus can also be prophetic in nature, where Jesus may appear to deliver a message or offer guidance to the dreamer. In such cases, the dreamer may interpret the dream as a divine intervention or a spiritual experience.
Interpreting the Symbolism
Dreams about Jesus can be interpreted in many ways, depending on the context, emotions, and personal associations of the dreamer. Here are some common interpretations of the symbolism in dreams featuring Jesus:
- Symbolize: Messiah often symbolizes love, forgiveness, and salvation. Dreams about Christ can represent divine guidance, assurance, or a call to strengthen one’s faith. Seeing Jesus in a dream may also symbolize a longing for spiritual growth or a need to reconnect with one’s higher self.
- Cross: The cross is a powerful Christian symbol that can appear in dreams about Jesus. Seeing the cross in a dream may represent sacrifice, redemption, or the burden of responsibility. The cross can also symbolize the connection between the divine and the earthly.
- Message: Dreams about Jesus can be a message from the subconscious, the divine, or both. The message may be one of comfort, reassurance, or guidance. Dreams about Jesus can also be a wake-up call to pay attention to one’s spiritual life and beliefs.
- Bible: The Bible is a source of inspiration and guidance for many Christians, and it can appear in dreams about the Christ. Seeing the Bible in a dream may represent the importance of reading and understanding the scriptures, or it may symbolize the need to seek answers and guidance in the Word of God.
- Prophet: Jesus is considered a prophet by many Christians, and dreams about him can be interpreted as a message from a higher power. Seeing Jesus in a dream may represent the need to listen to the voice of the divine, to follow one’s intuition, or to trust in a higher power.
- Spiritual growth: Dreams about Jesus can also be a sign of spiritual growth and transformation. Seeing Jesus in a dream may represent the need to let go of old beliefs and patterns, to embrace new perspectives and experiences, and to open oneself to the divine.
- Symbolism: Interpreting dreams about Jesus requires an open mind and a willingness to explore the symbolism beyond surface-level meanings. The context, actions, and emotions in the dream can provide important clues to the message being conveyed. It is important to remember that dreams are highly personal and subjective, and the meaning of a dream featuring Jesus will depend on the unique circumstances and experiences of the dreamer.
Emotions and Feelings in Dreams
Dreams are often filled with emotions and feelings, and dreams about Jesus are no exception. When dreaming about Jesus, the emotions and feelings experienced by the dreamer can vary greatly. Some common emotions and feelings experienced during dreams about Jesus are:
- Joy: Many people report feeling immense joy and happiness when dreaming about Jesus. This can be a result of feeling loved and protected by Jesus.
- Guilt: Some people may feel guilt or shame during dreams about Jesus, especially if they have strayed from their faith or committed sins.
- Pain: Dreams about Jesus can also be accompanied by feelings of pain, especially if the dreamer is struggling with physical or emotional pain in their waking life.
- Anger: In some cases, dreams about Jesus Christ can evoke feelings of anger or frustration. This may be a result of the dreamer feeling like they are being judged or punished by Jesus.
It is important to note that emotions and feelings experienced during dreams are often subjective and can vary greatly from person to person.
Additionally, the interpretation of these emotions and feelings can also vary based on the individual’s personal beliefs and experiences. It is always recommended to approach dream interpretation with an open mind and seek guidance from trusted sources when necessary.
Jesus in Different Scenarios
Dreaming about Jesus can take on many different forms and scenarios. Here are some of the most common scenarios in which Jesus appears in dreams and their possible interpretations:
Dreaming about Baby Jesus may be a sign of new beginnings, innocence, and purity. It may also symbolize the need for protection, guidance, and nurturing.
Jesus Christ Carrying the Cross
Dreaming about Jesus carrying the cross may indicate a sense of burden, sacrifice, and suffering. It may also represent the need for strength, perseverance, and faith in the face of adversity.
Jesus in the Sky
Dreaming about Jesus Christ in the sky may symbolize transcendence, spiritual enlightenment, and divine guidance. It may also represent the need for a higher perspective, hope, and inspiration.
Jesus and Mary
Dreaming about Jesus and Mary may represent the importance of family, love, and compassion. It may also symbolize the need for healing, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
Jesus and Zodiac Signs
Seeing Jesus Christ and zodiac signs together in a dream may symbolize a search for spiritual guidance and understanding. The zodiac signs represent different archetypes and personalities, while Jesus Christ represents a divine figure who can offer wisdom and guidance. This dream may indicate a desire to explore different belief systems and find a sense of purpose or direction.
Jesus as a Divine Messenger
Dreams about Jesus are often viewed as a message from a divine messenger, regardless of the dreamer’s religious beliefs. Jesus Christ is often seen as a symbol of hope, love, and salvation.
In many cases, a dream about biblical characters can be seen as a form of divine communication, where he appears to guide and support the dreamer.
Many people believe that Jesus is a divine messenger who can perform miracles and communicate with people in their dreams. Some people believe that Jesus can talk to people in their dreams and offer them guidance and support.
Others believe that Jesus can appear in dreams to offer spiritual guidance and assurance.
Dreams about divine figures can also be seen as a reflection of the dreamer’s personal beliefs and experiences. For example, a dream about Jesus hugging the dreamer may symbolize a need for love and support.
A dream about Jesus being crucified may represent feelings of guilt or regret.
People who dream about Jesus often report feeling a sense of awakening or redemption after the dream. They may feel inspired to pray or seek spiritual guidance.
In some cases, dreams about Jesus can be seen as a sign of courage and strength, offering the dreamer the assurance that they are not alone in their struggles.
In many cases, dreams about Jesus are seen as a blessing, offering the dreamer divine guidance and support. Whether the dreamer is a Christian or not, Jesus is often viewed as a symbol of hope and love, offering comfort and assurance to those who seek him.
Negative Dreams about Jesus
While dreaming about Jesus can be a positive experience, it is possible to have negative dreams about him as well. These dreams can be unsettling and confusing, but they do not necessarily indicate that the dreamer is a bad person or has done something wrong.
One common type of negative dream about Jesus is a nightmare. In these dreams, the Son of God may appear as a threatening or scary figure, or the dreamer may experience a sense of dread or fear in his presence.
This type of dream may be related to the dreamer’s subconscious fears or anxieties about religion or spirituality. People reported even the messiah sending an apocalypse over to Earth.
Another type of negative dream about Jesus Christ is one in which he appears to be angry or disappointed with the dreamer. This can be a difficult dream to interpret, as it may be related to feelings of guilt or shame that the dreamer is experiencing.
It is important to remember that these dreams do not necessarily mean that Jesus is actually angry with the dreamer, but rather that the dreamer may be struggling with feelings of guilt or self-doubt.
Some people may also have negative dreams about Jesus in which he appears to be speaking directly to them. In these dreams, Jesus may be offering guidance or advice, but the dreamer may feel overwhelmed or confused by his words.
It is important to remember that these dreams are not necessarily prophetic or predictive, but rather a reflection of the dreamer’s own thoughts and feelings.
Finally, some people may have negative dreams about Jesus in which he appears in the sky or in some other supernatural form.
These dreams may be related to the dreamer’s fears or anxieties about death or the afterlife, or they may simply be a reflection of the dreamer’s own spiritual beliefs.
Overall, it is important to remember that dreams about Jesus, whether positive or negative, are a reflection of the dreamer’s own thoughts and feelings.
While they can be unsettling or confusing, they do not necessarily indicate that the dreamer is a bad person or has done something wrong.

A very common situation that arises is a woman with a small amount of breast “sagging”, and she would like to know how to correct this. A common request is a breast lift but without significant scarring, or a breast lift without mastopexy. Breast sagging can develop as a result of childbirth and breast feeding, weight loss, age, or genetics. Correction of breast sagging as a result of childbirth and breast feeding is part of the “mommy-makeover” procedure. Some women develop significant breast sagging as they age, and some women do not develop any sagging, or “ptosis”, at all. Women with very significant amounts of excess skin and sagging usually require a formal mastopexy, or breast lift, in order to improve breast contour. The tradeoff for this improvement in contour is scars on the breast. Some women do not mind having scars on their breasts in order to have improved contour, but other women can not tolerate significant scarring on their breasts. In women with small degrees of sagging, or ptosis, a significant improvement in breast contour can often be achieved with a breast augmentation using an implant, without the additional scarring associated with a formal mastopexy. A modification in technique of traditional under the muscle breast augmentation is required in order to achieve this, but in the right patient a nice result can be accomplished:
The above patient wanted to improve the contour of her breasts, but really did not want the extra scarring on her breasts from a formal breast lift (mastopexy). She had a smooth round silicone gel breast implant placed, “under-the-muscle”, using a slight modification in technique that would normally be used in a patient with no breast sagging or “ptosis”. She does not have the scars associated with a breast lift or mastopexy, yet she did get a very nice improvement in contour and a result that she is very pleased with.

Sub-freezing temperatures combined with sunny days form the most unlikely artwork of Mother Nature — icicles, which are always pretty in scenic pictures of winter wonderlands and of holidays past. But icicles have a dark side too, and can actually pose a real danger to people, pets and property.
Clogged gutters and downspouts generate excessive weight which can damage roofing and gutters. To prevent icicles from forming, keep your gutters clear of leaves, needles, and other debris. Clogged gutters can freeze the normal flow of water from your roof. The frozen, trapped runoff puts extra weight on the gutter fasteners, creates ice dams, and causes ice to form on sidewalks.
Protecting people, property and pets
When too much ice builds up, gutters become too heavy and can rip away, causing extensive and expensive damage to the property. Trying to chip the ice from the gutters is extremely dangerous and can create even greater damage. At that point, it’s best to enlist the support of a roofing professional to ensure that the gutters are cleared properly and safely.
Melting snow and ice can also get packed underneath roof shingles, causing water to seep into the cracks of the roof. A secondary problem is water damage — evidenced by the unsightly brown stains spotted on ceilings and/or walls.
Knocking off icicles is not recommended, and can easily cause damage to eaves, flashing and gutters. Once again, calling on the advice of a professional roofer can assist with proper removal, unless of course, the weather warms up and melts the icicles. But the gutters will still need gutting. When the warmer weather does arrive, you’ll need to attend to gutter maintenance swiftly to avoid leaking and other problems during spring rains.
Thousands injured from falls off ladders
Before you clean your gutters, however, make sure you review your ladder safety notes.
In the U.S., more than 500,000 people are treated each year just for falling off the ladder while trying to clean their gutters. Between 1990 and 2005, ladder injuries rose by 50%, and 97.3% of these injuries came from people who did not use a ladder occupationally.
Ladder Safety 101
- The ladder should extend at least 3 feet over the roofline.
- Always secure the ladder firmly on flat ground using leg levelers to reconcile uneven or soft ground.
- Check the ladder’s maximum load rating to ensure body weight and supplies do not exceed the maximum weight.
- Straight and adjustable ladders should have slip-resistant feet.
- Do not use a metal ladder near power lines or electrical equipment. Wood or fiberglass ladders are safer.
- Make sure all rung locks and spreader braces on the ladder are set before use.
- If possible, request a helper to hold the bottom of the ladder, or call for help if an emergency arises.
Hire a contractor
Getting on your roof yourself is not recommended if you’re not used to regularly climbing ladders at those heights. Not only are you risking serious injury, but you also risk causing further damage to your home. A trained professional has the tools and safety techniques to get up on your roof, clean and fix your gutters, and to also inspect it for other damage. Always ask to see their business license, proof of insurance, certifications, permanent business address and Better Business Bureau rating.
A reputable roofing contractor should be based locally and have a history of being in business in one location. If you have an insurance claim, your contractor should be able to help you determine what is covered, what is excluded, and how to prevent you from spending more than your deductible out-of-pocket.

A supplemental page was provided.
This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia.
A complaint inspection was conducted on 06/07/2021 and 06/08/2021. A complaint was received by the department on 05/20/2021 regarding allegations in the areas Supervision, Forbidden Actions and Behavioral Guidance. There were 77 children present and in the care of 17 staff members. The Director was contacted by telephone to initiate the virtual investigation. Three staff members were interviewed, one classroom was virtually observed and the records for one staff member and one child were reviewed.
The evidence gathered during the investigation supported one of the allegations and the complaint was determined to be valid. One violation was issued.
Standard #: 22VAC40-185-340-A Complaint related: Yes Description: Based on interviews with three staff and confirmation from staff, the center failed to ensure the care and protection of one child by not preventing the child from running out of one classroom.
1. Staff Member A reported that on 05/14/2021 she was in the hallway when Child #1 opened the door from the inside of Classroom #1 and ran out into the hallway. She was able to return Child #1 to his classroom.
2. Staff Member C reported that on 05/14/2021, she was teaching in Classroom #1 when Child #1 opened the door and ran out of the room and into the hallway.

Plan of Correction: The child disenrolled as of June 16, 2021.
For future corrective measures:
1. We will use a Safety Plan that has been instituted by COA. This is a positive support plan that uses strategies and tools to prevent or avoid problem behaviors. This plan involves parents and teachers who work together in a collaborative effort to set goals for the child who is having challenging behaviors.
2. If we have a child who attempts to run out of the classroom in the future and the teacher has implemented the safety procedures, we will assign a second teacher to the classroom to be close to the door to try additional positive strategies from the safety plan. If the child tries to leave the classroom repeatedly, parents will be notified.

The tours give an opportunity to view Dubai’s landmarks from the top in a short time, plus the exterior of the tallest building in the world can be ideally seen from a helicopter.
The tours differ with duration and locations. The Iconic Tour with the length of 12 minutes, departs from the Dubai Marina and gives viewers an opportunity to see Burj Al Arab, The Palm Jumeirah, The Jumeirah Coastline, Burj Khalifa, Godolphin, Business Bay, and Dubai Canal and costs AED 646 (175,88 USD) per person.

Taking a helicopter tour is not the only way to discover Dubai from above. For tourists who love risky, but safe adventures, it is best to skydive above the city of skyscrapers.
Skydive Dubai manages all skydive activities in Dubai and has two beautiful skydiving locations in Dubai: Desert Campus Drop Zone and Palm Drop Zone. The Desert Campus Drop Zone is situated outside the city, off the highway between Dubai and Al-Ain. Tourists can visit the drop zone not only one time but take courses for becoming a professional skydiver if they wish to. Skydivers can enjoy fantastic views of desert dunes that lead up to the Dubai Skyline. Palm Drop Zone is a bit more select option for skydiving and offers stunning views of Palm Islands and Dubai Skyline.
The price at the Desert Campus Drop Zone per adult is AED 1699 (462,53 USD), and for the Palm Drop Zone, it is AED 2199 (598,65 USD).
The general checkup procedure includes weighing and checking your BMI. The maximum amount of BMI for women is 27,5 and 30 for men. If you are underweight but live a healthy lifestyle, you should be good for skydiving. The person willing to skydive must at be 18 years old and have a valid ID or driver’s license. The prices also include a video, so be ready to be interviewed before you take off. The fly time to the diving altitude is approximately 20 minutes. You will exit the plane once it reaches 13,000 feet.
Although it might sound or seem scary, according to the United States Parachuting Association, it is much safer to skydive than being on the road.

Wrong Side, Wrong Site Brain Surgery Attorney Of Little Rock, Arkansas
A ‘wrong side brain surgery’ is exactly what it sounds like: the wrong side of a patient’s brain is operated on. “Unbelievable!” you might say, “That couldn’t happen in this day and age!” But it actually happens more than it should. Doctor negligence, poor hospital practices, and miscommunication can all help explain why such medical malpractice happens, but it does not excuse it.
In one instance, a nurse practitioner at Rhode Island Hospital failed to record which side of the man’s brain required surgery. The surgeon relied on his memory to recall which side of the brain required operation, without consulting a CT chart. When the surgeon realized he was operating on the wrong side, he switched sides and continued.
In the surgical team’s hast, they didn’t follow proper procedures. This wrong surgery was number 3 in the unit’s six years of practice. A consultant was hired to review this hospital’s surgical safety procedures. But this is too little, too late for those that were already harmed by the hospital’s negligence.
This is not an unpreventable accident. A wrong side surgery is failure to take the appropriate steps, often from the start. If a hospital has the right procedures and steps for preparation in place, such tragedies can be essentially eliminated.
If you or a loved one has experienced such a tragedy, please contact Duncan Firm for a free consultation. We can walk you through your options, and together we’ll figure out the best strategy to move forward. Call 877-638-6226 or contact us online.

ISLAND GOLFING AT
The heritage of the Cowichan Valley
is one based on respect for nature
and nowhere is that more true than at
Duncan Meadows Golf Course.
Duncan Meadows sets seamlessly into the landscape. The course’s many lakes and ponds create an eco-culture that is home to many types of waterfowl. And from every tee, golfers are rewarded with unforgettable mountain and valley views. Rolling waves of wild grasses border many holes while yet others are carved from wooded maple and fir. Rising high above the nearby majestic Mt. Prevost, eagles ride the thermals, watching over your every shot. Glimpses of deer and mist enshrouded greens await early morning foursomes.
The course itself is an exceptionally strong mix of parkland and links style holes exquisitely sculpted from the gently rolling and verdant landscape. Meandering creeks crossed with small rock bridges recall the roots of the game in Scotland while the manicure of the greens is consistent with today's best conditioned facilities.
Duncan Meadows has a deserved reputation as a player's course that rewards forethought and patience. Testament to the course's quality are the player's who have emerged as champions here... Both LPGA player Paula Creamer and PGA player, and B.C. native Chris Baryla have won major competitions at the course "Where Champions Are Crowned."

Minolta AF 75-300mm F4.5-5.6 D A-mount lens review by A68noob
|A68noob#45649 date: Feb-27-2021|
flare control: 2
|ownership:||I own this lens|
|compared to:||Sony 70-300G1 SSM|
Tamron 70-300 USD
Sigma 70-300 APO DG
Minolta 75-300 Big Beercan
Sony 70-400 G1&2 SSM
|price paid:||basically few euros|
|positive:||+most inexpensive 70-300 you can get|
+stopped down pretty good IQ
+not best, but alright minolta colours
+build is 'good': it feels cheap, but it is absolutely solid. nothing is wobbling, AF is alright, no zoom creep.. no cheap sigma plastic gears were used..
|negative:||-ridiculous purple fringing|
-many old school problems: filter still rotating, screw drive AF, narrow MF ring, etc
-too cheap even: no distance encoder or something similar
-silver colour.. oh god
-approximately after ~230mm the IQ is drastically falling
-no stunning sharpness at max. aperture.. but would you expect it at this dirt cheap price? no..
|comment:||I own two copies, bought both very cheap (30 & 40€ with bag, Dynax camera and 28-80) = dirt cheap.. in mint condition. |
Dont get me wrong, this is not the best lens ever.. but considering the price it is much better than you would expect from all those reviews here.
I tried shooting some birds in trees.. purple fringing literally everywhere - awful. I shot some lizards close up.. bokeh was nice, colours were nice, sharpness was nice.. I shot some face portraits wide open.. nice enough for any hobby photographer (must be focused correctly tho). I shot some body portraits and it can deliver quite some pleasing pictures.. nice again.
For occasional use in the FL region of 70-300 it can be a pretty good lens if you can avoid the weaknesses. I also owned SAL 70300G and i would choose this Minolta any day over the Sony, as i probably paid 20 times more for the Sony. The 70300G is (to me) basically this Minolta WITH zoom creep, SSM and no purple fringing. Is it worth it for me in this case and my profile of photographing? Absolutely no.
AF on modern bodies (i used it on A68) is fast enough and with camera focus limiter its even quicker.
The worst thing about this lens is that Minolta disappointed me. The AF line up from 1985 still rocks in 2021 but what did they do until they released this Dynax Kit Lens? Even worse purple fringing than a decade before and a very cheap plastic build + the awful silver colour. No wonder why they got bought soon after that by Sony..
Still, if you have the chance.. give it a try if it suits your photography style (avoiding high contrast situations) and you are a on a budget. I would also prefer this lens over any similar Sigma from the time around 2005 because you never know when the plastic sigma gears will fail..
(Ratings based on price/performance. 2* on flare for purple fringing)

Uploading your presentation
All presenters (invited presentations, oral presentations, ePresentations, ePoster presentations) will receive a message with detailed information on scheduling by Friday, 10 April 2020. In the week after, an information message on how to present at the Virtual Congress (including an upload link and technical details) will be sent.
- The material needs to be uploaded via a personalized link that will be sent to all presenters by 15 April at the latest.
- Recordings need to be uploaded by 15 May 2020, 23:59 CET.
- There will be technical support available for your upload. Details will be communicated.
Presenting at the EAN Virtual Congress
There will be scheduled slots for all presentations during the virtual congress. There will be a chat function as well as a live Q&A for all sessions during specified times. The presenters are kindly asked to be present during the scheduled time to ensure interaction with the audience.
As for the face-to-face congress the dress code is business casual. Please wear the same clothes for your presentation pre-recording as well as for the Q&A as you would have at the face-to-face meeting.
Session structure for all presentations
All sessions include pre-recordings as well as a live component. We want to make sure to retain as much human interaction as possible.
- Prior to the session (until the upload deadline on 15 May 2020), all lectures are recorded and uploaded to our system. They need to be of an exact length (as indicated in your information mailing) to ensure smooth development of the session.
- Please leave time for discussion. If your recording is too long, the time for discussion will be lost, which is one major component in the meeting
- At the scheduled timeslot of the session, the chairperson of the session has 5 minutes to open the session and introduce the speakers.
- Then the recording of the first lecture will be played. At all times there is a live-chat available, where all participants can contribute to the session or ask questions.
- After each lecture, there is some time reserved for a discussion with the chairperson. Lecturers and chairpersons therefore need to be online at the scheduled timeslot. They will discuss questions from the audience or further details of the session. There will be a timer available for the speakers’ convenience.
- This is the same procedure for all lectures – after the last one, the chairperson has a few more minutes to close the session and address any last-minute questions.
Please note that it is also possible for all participants to send a private message with questions to the lecturers, which will be answered after the congress and published on the platform so all EAN members can benefit from it. If the lecturer is not available to be online at the scheduled timeslot, we will also forward the questions from the chat to them and publish the answers after the congress.

Mr. Scheiderman’s band also performed at the event. “I am at a loss as to how the Town of Southampton could have issued a permit for such an event, how they believed it was legal and not an obvious public health threat,” said Dr. Zucker in a letter to Mr. Schneiderman. Mr. Schneiderman took to Facebook later Monday to post a video of the audience sort-of behaving at the concert. Here’s the tweet from someone who was on stage at the concert that has the state in a tizzy:

Which is better fuel for spinning class — protein or carbohydrates? Should you consume a sports drink on a long run? Is it safe to eat before a workout? Listen to locker room talk at the gym and you'll hear lots of conflicting tips about what you should eat and drink before and after you work out. These answers to five common questions about fueling your workout sort fact from fiction.
Will Protein Make My Muscles Grow?
Protein is an important part of a balanced diet, but eating more protein will not magically make you stronger. The only way to grow muscles is to put them to work, and eat the right amount of calories to build mass. Most people can get enough protein from food alone and do not need a supplement.
Carbohydrates are the major fuel for muscles and an athlete's diet should consist of mostly carbohydrate. The body converts carbohydrate to glycogen, which is stored in your muscles to power your workout.
Do Sports Drinks, Gels and Energy Bites Live Up to the Hype?
There's nothing special about the many sports drinks, gels and energy bites on the market. But it is important to replace lost fluids as well as provide carbohydrates to maintain blood glucose levels while working out for longer than one hour.
For some athletes, eating solid food in the middle of a workout can cause digestive upset. In these cases, easily consumed sports gels, chews or drinks may help. Food and fluid intake around workouts should be determined on an individual basis with consideration for an athlete's gastrointestinal tract tolerance, as well as duration and intensity of the workout.
Is It Best to Work Out on an Empty Stomach?
Your body needs fuel to function, especially if you're asking it to run, jump, swim or lift weights. Don't skip breakfast before a morning workout. Eating before exercise, as opposed to exercising in the fasted state, has been shown to improve exercise performance.
Eating in the morning helps replenish liver glycogen and steadies blood sugar levels. If it's hard to stomach solid food first thing in the morning, try a fruit smoothie, or a liquid meal supplement, and don't forget to hydrate before you exercise.
Regular Exercise Means I Can Eat What I Want and Not Gain Weight, Right?
Wrong. It's easy to overestimate the amount of calories you burn while working out.
You should adjust your calorie intake if you're engaging in serious training, such as for a triathlon, where you might be working out more than once a day. Recovery nutrition is necessary if you are an athlete participating in strenuous activity, especially if you are participating in multiple events in the same day. For the casual exerciser working out for an hour or less, a healthy balanced diet will work just fine.
Is Chocolate Milk Really an Athlete's Best Friend?
Because of its favorable carbohydrate and protein content, chocolate milk is indeed an effective recovery aid, but it's not your only choice. Replacing fluid lost during a workout should be your first priority. Plain water and water-rich foods such as fruit are good choices. Be sure to eat a balanced meal within a couple hours of working out to help muscles recover. For strenuous workouts, carbohydrates should be consumed within 30 minutes of finishing the workout. This can be done with a sports drink or a carbohydrate-rich snack such as a fruit smoothie.

Packing. Shipping. Returns. If the thought of adding these processes to your business makes you shy away from e-commerce, there’s good news. There are tons of resources and services to help micro, small and medium-sized companies like yours take on these tasks. The time is now to lace up, get your game on and make your company more competitive and resilient through these challenging times and beyond.
If you’ve been reading the other blogs and articles in this e-commerce series, then you already know how critical it is for companies of all sizes, especially brick-and-mortar stores, to push forward with online expansion.
But e-commerce isn’t just about finding new markets and increasing sales. The companies who thrive in this world will be those that meet the new demands of the COVID-19 consumer. During the pandemic, consumers’ buying habits changed; they’ve experienced the many benefits and conveniences of online shopping, and they have new expectations for shopping in the future—even once the pandemic wanes.
Shipping is easier than you think
Like many smaller businesses, you may be concerned about not knowing what customers want, how shipping costs will impact your bottom line, and how you’ll manage returns logistics.
The trick is to know where you can find the help and knowledge you need. EDC, Google, Shopify, the Trade Commissioner Service, and countless other organizations involved in the e-commerce supply chain have developed comprehensive programs and guides to help Canadian companies create and enhance their online presence, and Canada Post has done the same.
Because Canada Post ships more packages in Canada than anyone, we’ve built on that knowledge and expertise to share with companies across Canada. (Be sure to check out our new six-part vlog series, How to efficiently operate your e-commerce business.)
Knowing what your customers want
In our Canada Post 2020 Spring Survey (June 2020), we polled over 3,000 Canadian shoppers to understand how shopping behaviours will evolve over time. Here are some key insights to help you meet your customers’ expectations:
- Clearly communicate, on your home and product pages, your shipping rates, deadlines and your returns policy. Consumers want to know where their purchases are and when to expect them.
- 70% of online shoppers say they don’t mind waiting longer for online purchases to arrive, as long as they’re given an accurate delivery time frame up front.
- 60% of online shoppers picked a retailer over another based on a better returns policy (versus 50% in 2019).
Yes, you can offer free shipping
Free shipping could be the biggest thing you can do to boost to your online sales and influence shoppers to buy more. According to an infographic compiled by Invesp, 90% of consumers say free shipping is their No.1 incentive to shop online more frequently. When free shipping is offered, orders tend to be 30% higher, and nearly 60% of shoppers will add more items to a cart to meet a minimum free-shipping threshold requirement. Plus, 61% of shoppers say they’re likely to cancel an order if free shipping isn’t available.
“But I can’t afford free shipping,” you might be thinking. It’s a common misconception that free shipping means offering free shipping for every purchase. But there are other tactics you can use to offer free shipping while staying on a budget. Explore what’s best for your margins and manageable for your business.
First, keep in mind that free shipping is such a powerful motivator to buy that it packs twice the influence of a percentage-savings deal. Consumers are more likely to buy a higher-priced item with free shipping than to buy an on-sale item that charges extra for shipping—even if the end price is the same. So consider offering free shipping instead of a coupon.
Understanding this consumer psychology means you may want to consider building all or some of your shipping costs into the price of your product.
Another tip is to offer free shipping after an order reaches a certain dollar value. This will encourage your customers to buy more to reach the threshold, making free shipping on the larger order more cost-effective for you.
You can also consider offering free shipping on the products or collections that will most appeal to your customers, especially during peak selling periods when they’re engaged and ready to buy.
Regulations, duties and logistics for international shipping
When you’re selling online, your orders can come from anywhere. That means you need to understand the customs regulations of your customer’s market, duties and taxes, and the logistics of getting it delivered to them.
Fortunately, many countries have set a De Minimus, which allows orders under a certain monetary value to enter the country duty-free. This amount varies by country. For instance, it’s currently $800 in the United States (U.S.) and just €22 in many European countries such as Belgium, Denmark, Finland, and France.
You may also want to focus on markets where Canada has free trade agreements, but ensure the product you’re shipping is specified as an exempted good under the trade agreement.
It’s important to note that whoever is responsible for paying duties, depends on how and where you ship your package. If you ship through the postal network, meaning Canada Post, the recipient pays the duties. Customs officials will determine the amount based on the information you provide about the value of the shipment, the country of origin, materials used, etc.
If you ship through the commercial network (such as UPS, FedEx or DHL), payment of duties can be the responsibility of the merchant or the recipient, depending on the terms of the sale.
The U.S. is a great first market for your export sales. But shipping to another market, even our southern neighbour, can be complex. Here are a few things to consider:
Customs broker: If you’re shipping through the commercial stream, a registered customs broker can help ensure your products reach your customers, quickly and efficiently.
Postal Clearance: Items clearing in the postal network that don’t require formal customs entry will not require a customs broker to clear customs at destination.
U.S. Food & Drug Administrations (FDA): Digestible and cosmetic products, among others, are strictly regulated by the FDA, and your products must comply.
Scale: Ensure you’re able to scale your business and output to ten-times your current volume, and that you have strategically located inventory for rapid fulfillment. See the blog in this series on how to get your e-commerce business ready for action.
You can also learn more about the ins and outs of these considerations through our comprehensive guides. Our Guide to International Shipping Guide will tell you virtually everything you need to know about shipping, and our guide to navigating customs outlines what you can and can’t ship across borders, how duties and taxes work, how to fill out a customs form accurately and in detail, the customs process and more.
You’ll also want to check out our new Think Small program, which helps small businesses navigate the pandemic with tools, resources, knowledge, exclusive offers, and an introduction to our partners.
Increase sales by making returns easy for your customers
More than half of online shoppers look for information about returns before they make a purchase, but many new e-commerce sellers are concerned about how they can manage returns. Not to worry! We’ve talked to Canadian shoppers and entrepreneurs across the country, who told us what they want in a great returns policy.
One place to start is My Returns, a free online tool to create and manage your parcel return preferences. And, just in time for the holiday season, check out, Preparing your return strategy for the 2020 holiday season.
Another good solution is to work with a logistics provider who can help you incorporate a return process into your e-commerce platform. I’ve personally worked with companies to help them come up with a returns policy, and we have every possible kind of returns solutions a merchant could be looking for. So go ahead and reach out—you can book a free consultation with an e-commerce expert to help you design or improve your returns strategy for your business.

Eddie fights for children to receive the highest quality education for each and every student.
Our founding fathers recognized you can't build a new country and make it successful and mighty without an educated population. They recognized if all our American children we're given the chance for a great public education, It didn't matter “what side of the tracks” You were born on, you could become a success without a good education. That philosophy still holds true today. That is why we must fairly and properly fund our public schools so that all our children can have the opportunity to become successful and then contribute back to America in service and purchase power. The Governor and my party have presented many proposals to reduce the local tax burden and utilize the state resources to balance the states responsibility to appropriately fund all our public schools. Unfortunately, resistance from the majority party in Harrisburg has prevented these new ideas from helping both children and families. That is why we all have to vote for Democratic candidates to ensure that all of our children have the equal opportunity to learn and thrive.

Penal Code 288.7 PC - Sex with a Child Under 10
California law particularly harshly punishes sexual acts committed against minors—especially if the child is under 10.
If you're convicted of this crime, you could face up to life imprisonment—and even if you spend less time in prison, you'll have to register for life under California's sex offender registration system.
PC 288.7 says, “(a) Any person 18 years of age or older who engages in sexual intercourse or sodomy with a child who is 10 years of age or younger is guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a term of 25 years to life.”
Subsection 288.7(b) says, “Any person 18 years of age or older who engages in oral copulation or sexual penetration, as defined in Section 289, with a child who is 10 years of age or younger is guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a term of 15 years to life.”
To be convicted of violating PC 288.7, the prosecution has to prove that you engaged in sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation, or sexual penetration with the child when they were age ten or younger and that you were over the age of 18.
Notably, sex with a child ten or younger is a “strict liability” offense, which means the prosecutor does not have to prove you had malicious intent. In other words, proving that you just committed the sex act is sufficient to obtain a conviction.
Further, this sex crime can be committed by an adult performing a sex act on the child, or they cause the child to perform a prohibited sex act on them, someone else, or themselves. Let's review this law in more detail below.
Overview of PC 288.7
While there are numerous statutes in California criminalizing various sex acts involving minors, PC 288.7 deals specifically with the following sex crimes where the perpetrator is 18 or over and the victim is ten or younger:
- Sexual intercourse, such as vaginal or genital penetration by the penis;
- Sexual penetration, such as vaginal or genital penetration with a foreign object;
- Sodomy, such as anal penetration by the penis;
- Oral copulation, such as contact with genitalia or the anus by mouth.
Other things to know about this law:
- The cutoff point for the child victim under this law is up to their 10th birthday. In other words, “10 years of age or younger” refers to children who have not passed 10. If the child is older, different laws apply.
- Consent cannot be used as a defense under this law. Under California law, children under 18 have not reached the age of consent.
- Prosecutors don't have to prove criminal or malicious intent with this crime. They only need to show evidence that the sexual act occurred.
What Are Some Examples?
EXAMPLE 1: Bart, age 20, has sexual intercourse with his neighbor's daughter, age 8. Bart can be charged under PC 288.7.
EXAMPLE 2: Tim, age 15, has sex with his cousin, who is 9, convincing her they have a “special relationship.”
While Tim may be charged with other crimes, including PC 261.5 statutory rape, he cannot be charged under PC 288.7 because he is not yet 18.
EXAMPLE 3: Darlene runs a daycare center. She touches the genitals of one of her younger charges for pleasure but does not penetrate them.
While Darlene may be charged with other sex crimes, including PC 288 lewd acts with a minor, she won't be charged under PC 288.7 because there was no sexual penetration.
What Are the Related Crimes?
Several California statutes are related to Penal Code 288.7 PC sex with a minor under the age of 10, including the following:
- Penal Code 288 PC – lewd acts on a minor;
- Penal Code 288.2 PC – send harmful matter to a minor;
- Penal Code 288.3 PC – contact a minor to commit a felony;
- Penal Code 288.4 PC – arrange a meeting with a minor;
- Penal Code 288.5 PC – continuous sexual abuse of a child;
- Penal Code 287 PC – oral copulation with a minor;
- Penal Code 261.5 PC – statutory rape;
- Penal Code 647.6 PC – annoying or molesting a child;
- Penal Code 311.1 PC – child pornography;
- Penal Code 207/209 PC – kidnapping.
What Are the Penalties for PC 288.7?
PC 288.7 carries some of the most severe penalties under California law, almost always resulting in an extended prison stay.
For example, if you're convicted of this crime, California calls for the following penalties:
- For crimes involving oral copulation or sexual penetration: 15 years to life in prison.
- For crimes involving sexual intercourse or sodomy: 25 years to life in prison.
In certain conditions, defendants may be eligible for parole after serving their minimum sentence, 15 or 25 years, respectively.
Still, they will only be released after a favorable ruling from the California Parole Board.

In California, sex with a child under ten is considered a Tier 3 sex crime on the Sex Offender Registry. Therefore, if you are convicted, serve time in prison, and are released, you will still have to register as a sex offender for life.
This means you must register with local police upon release and re-validate your registration every year, and every time you relocate, for the rest of your life. You will also face restrictions on where you can live and work.
What Are the Defenses for PC 288.7?
Despite the severity of this crime, you may be able to implement specific defense strategies if you are accused of violating PC 288.7. These are discussed below.
Perhaps we can argue that there was no sexual contact. It is not a crime to have physical contact with a child that is not sexual. For example, perhaps you were bathing a child and touching their genitals, but not in a sexual way or for sexual purposes.
Perhaps we can argue that the child was over ten years old. While you may still be charged with other sex crimes with this defense, you may be able to avoid a long-term prison sentence or life in prison if you can show the victim had passed their 10th birthday during the alleged sexual incident.
Perhaps we can argue that the allegations are false. Maybe the accuser is lying or mistaken. Perhaps the child was coached by an adult with wrong motives. Possibly the child was upset over discipline and made false accusations.
Perhaps we can negotiate with the prosecutor for reduced charges or convince them not to file formal charges in the first place (DA reject). You can contact our law firm for a case review by phone or using the contact form. Eisner Gorin LLP is based in Los Angeles, CA.

Working toward the elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF), Eisai is involved in various support activities in disease endemic countries, including the free provision of an LF treatment, diethylcarbamazine citrate (DEC) tablets.
At Eisai's subsidiaries in LF endemic countries in Asia, Eisai has appointed internal ”DEC Project Managers” who are responsible for planning and promoting local activities to support LF elimination in order to help advance LF elimination efforts in each country.
The creation of leaflets for DEC tablets in Asian languages is one example of the activities conducted by DEC Project Managers. The elimination of LF involves mass drug administration (MDA) implemented by WHO to treat the entire at-risk population in endemic countries, where DEC tablets are simultaneously administered to residents in a target region including young children and the elderly. However, without fully developed health, welfare and medical systems in place, in these disease endemic regions where many people cannot even visit a hospital when they are sick, it is not easy to convince residents to participate in MDA.
Given this situation, Eisai's DEC Project Managers have designed and created the leaflet for DEC tablets in an effort to support the progress of MDA in disease endemic regions. This compact leaflet is designed for MDA volunteers, healthcare workers, and participating residents, featuring a simple explanation of DEC tablets including efficacy, precautions, and possible side effects. Currently available in English, Hindi, Telugu (a primary language of South East India), Thai, and Myanmar, the leaflet is used during MDA implementation.
Towards the global goal of eliminating LF by 2020, Eisai intends to continue contributing to advance international elimination efforts through the ongoing free provision of DEC tablets as well as the local activities proposed by the DEC Project Managers.

The ministries of Labor and Finance appear to be facing up to the failure of the hyped program to turn freelancers into salaried employees, which is funded by the Manpower Organization. A year after the program started they have issued a joint ministerial decision reducing potential participants in the program from 40,000 to just 2,000 people.
The decision also reduces the budget of the program from 156.8 million euros to 10 million, of which just 300,000 euros will be handed out within 2018.
The subsidy program, which grants up to 350 euros per month to employers who hire such freelancers, had been announced by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras himself during a visit to the Labor Ministry in the summer of 2017. Effectively, the program helps those who violate the law by inaccurately declaring they are self-employed by turning them into salary workers.

Will You Marry Us?
Unless you are getting married in a church, deciding on who will marry you can be stressful. After all, they are the ringmasters of your ceremony, they set the tone and pace, they walk you through what you will be saying to each other, they address your guests, they are responsible for getting the witness signatures and mailing out your wedding license. So how do you go decide?
First off, if you decide to go with a family or friend who has never officiated before, we recommend you give them a heads-up of at least 9-12 months so that they can get all the legal documentation they will need. Make sure that you are doing the research with them or that you consult with your wedding planner so that they can help. The requirements vary by state and sometimes by county, so please don’t leave it to the last minute if this is the route you are going to take.
If you decide to hire an officiant, we recommend you treat them like any other vendor you are selecting for your wedding and you do your research. Make sure that you interview them and find out what the scope of their services includes. Some officiants will go with you to the courthouse to make sure you get the proper documents. Other officiants like to meet with the couple a several times before the wedding day to get to know the couple, share stories of how the couple fell in love and more.
Be honest with your officiant during the interview and let them know the things that are important to you, like how religious or not religious you want the ceremony to be, is there any bible readings, poems, or passages you want to read. Do you want a short and easy ceremony or do you want something more elaborate, like including a candle ceremony, a sand ceremony, a glass ceremony, etc. Do you want it bilingual? Trilingual? (We’ve done it!). Do they charge for rehearsal? Is there a travel fee involved?
Don’t forget to ask to see videos of their past ceremonies and ask them to see their credentials. Remember, the person who will marry you will be in your videos forever!

Do you feel like you can’t stay on top of the news sources you love? Or maybe you know that you’re missing a lot of great content that’s being published, but you have no clue how to stop letting it slip through your fingers. For a way to gather all of the content you want to read in one place, you need a tool to help you out.
That’s where Feedly comes in – it’s a content curation tool on AI steroids. Not only can you follow your favorite sources and topics, but you can also have Feedly work on your behalf to seek out the content you’re (probably) interested in but wouldn’t find on your own.
On top of being a simple way to keep track of the content you want to read or save, Feedly can also be used for these purposes:
- Content creation that requires sources and/or quotes
- Content curation
- Ongoing research (keywords, competitors, topics, etc.)
- Social sharing
The service is free to start out – and if you’re happy with limited functionality, it can be free forever. Or you can upgrade to access customized-just-for-you features.
In this guide, we’re going to explain Feedly’s benefits, features and plans, and we’re also going to show you step-by-step how to set up your account to get the info you want – and ignore the rest.
- 1 Getting Started with Feedly
- 2 How to Add and Organize Sources in Feedly
- 3 How to Discover New Sources
- 4 How to Train Leo, Feedly’s AI Assistant, to Cut Through the Noise
- 5 How to Annotate and Share Content with Feedly
- 6 Wrapping Up
Getting Started with Feedly
To sign up for a Feedly account, go to the home page and click the green Get Started for Free button.
You’ll then have a few options for how to set up your Feedly account, like using Google, a social media login or Feedly itself. Once you select your preferred account creation tool and you fill in your info (I chose Google, so it auto-added information for me), you’ll be brought to your dashboard.
The Feedly Dashboard
We’ll go over a lot of the tools that you find in this Dashboard throughout this article, so here, we’ll just give you a super-quick overview.
The Navigation Bar
When you start with a free account, on the top-left of the page, you’ll see two bolded options:
- Today: This is where today’s collected articles will be stored so you can keep up with the latest and most relevant content.
- Read Later: You can create your own to-read-later list so the articles that are most important to you are waiting for when you’re ready.
If you upgrade to a Business plan, you’ll also see these options in the same area:
- Annotated: This is where you can find articles you’ve added Notes and Highlights to.
- Team Admin: This is where you’ll find everything team-related, including your added users, newsletters and analytics.
Under that is where you’ll see your feeds and boards, as well as your Team Feeds and Boards if you have a Business plan. Toward the very bottom, you’ll also see a Recently Read where you can see articles you’ve browsed or read recently in case you want to return to them.
At the very bottom of the left-side navigation bar is a link for Integrations. If you want to connect any of the other tools you use, this is where to do it. You can connect the following:
- Google Apps
- SAML infrastructure
- Security infrastructure
Changing the Theme
By clicking the Moon icon on the far-left navigation bar, you can switch between a light and dark theme. (When you have the dark theme on, that icon becomes a sun.) The light theme is on by default; here’s what the dark theme looks like:
New Features Feed
If you click the Gift icon underneath the Moon icon, a New Features feed will pop up with Feedly-related news and product updates.
Accessing Customer Support
Underneath the gift icon is a Question Mark icon, which gives you various support options:
- Contact support
- Getting Started guide
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Knowledge base
- Slack community
- Twitter account
Feedly has five plans, including a free version. Let’s go over them.
With the free Feedly plan, you can follow a max of 100 sources and create up to three feeds. This is a good way to start out with Feedly to see if you like the interface (and if you actually read all the content you gather).
The Pro plan costs $6 per month and is billed annually. Here’s what you get:
- Follow up to 1,000 sources
- Hide ads
- Notes and Highlights
- Power Search
- Publish public boards
- Save to Evernote, OneNote and Pocket
- Premium fonts and support
- Share to Buffer, Hootsuite, IFTTT, LinkedIn and Zapier
With the Pro+ plan for $8.25 per month, billed annually, you get everything that’s included in the Pro plan, plus:
- Follow up to 2,500 sources, including newsletters
- Google News and Twitters feeds
- Leo AI skills
The Business plan costs $18 per month, billed annually, and requires a minimum of three users. You get everything in the Pro+ plan, plus:
- Follow up to 5,000 sources
- Microsoft Teams and Slack
- Shared Notes and Highlights
- Team Feeds, Boards and Newsletters
The Business plan comes with a free trial, too.
The Enterprise plan has custom billing, and you can speak with a sales rep to figure out exactly what you need and how much it’ll cost. On top of everything included with the Business plan, you also get:
- Follow up to 7,500 sources
- Advanced Leo options
- API access
- Newsletter customization
- Onboarding and training
How to Add and Organize Sources in Feedly
Now that your account is set up, you’ll add your favorite sources to Feedly. A source is a place where you get content, such as:
- Keyword alert
- News site
- Research journal
- RSS feed
- Trade publication
Feedly will add and organize content from all of these sources. You’ll organize your sources into feeds, which you can categorize by industry, project or topic.
First, search for a source by clicking the Plus Sign on the left-side navigation bar and entering a topic, website or RSS link in the search field. Choose from the results in the drop-down menu, then click Follow to add a source to a feed.
Select a name for the feed that feels suitable – whatever makes sense for you. You can go with their suggested names or you can create your own.
Continue adding sources and organizing them into existing feeds or creating new feeds as you go.
If you have a Business or Enterprise plan, you can organize content with Team Feeds, which will sync for all users. The process is the same as outlined above. When choosing feed names, just make sure to choose wording that everyone will be able to decipher.
Boards are simply another way to organize your content on Feedly. When you find an article that’s especially valuable, you can add it to a Board or multiple Boards (you can create Team Boards, too). This is sort of like creating a library of content from the content that’s auto-added to your feeds. Your Boards can be found in the left-hand navigation bar.
Saving Content to Boards
When you come across an article in Feedly that you want to save to a Board, click the Star with Plus Sign icon. You can do this from the list of articles (pictured below) or when you open the article to read it in full – the icon is the same either way.
If you stumble upon an article off-site (as in off-Feedly), you can add that to a Board as well. Copy the article’s URL, then click Add Article in the Feedly Board. Paste the URL into the designated space.
Even easier, though, is downloading the browser extension, which lets you save content to a Board directly from the URL (pictured below). On mobile, you can use the Share menu to select the Feedly app.
How to Discover New Sources
If you want to find new sources based on topics or skills, you can do that with Feedly, too. You’re not limited to only the sources you already know. The Explore page has the top sources on practically any subject.
To get to the Explore page, click the Today link at the top of the left-hand navigation bar. (That link should be present wherever you are in Feedly, but if you need to get back to the home page for some reason, click the green Feedly icon on the very top-left of the page.) Next, click the Explore tab to the right of the Me tab. This is where you’ll see recent articles covering trending topics, separated by category (which you’ll see as you scroll down).
How to Train Leo, Feedly’s AI Assistant, to Cut Through the Noise
You use Feedly to make content less overwhelming, not more, right? Even with Feedly’s simplification tools, though, there can still be a lot of content to cut through. Enter Leo, the artificial intelligence (AI) assistant that’s here to help narrow down the options that are best for you. And like most AI assistants, you can train Leo to become better with time.
Here’s why Leo’s so helpful: let’s say you connect a source that publishes content several times a day. If you have a few sources like that, and you gather every new piece of content from all of them, your Feedly is going to quickly become cluttered – too cluttered to find what you need (let alone enjoy what you read). Leo will go through those sources and filter just the content that’s most important to you, leaving the rest out of your Feedly.
When Leo selects an article for you, it’ll have a special green label with information about why it was chosen. You can then tell Leo that it did a good or bad job so that similar content is or is not prioritized in the future. This is how Leo learns from your feedback, becoming better and better at selecting relevant content.
Leo is also able to remove near-duplicate content and news (when multiple sources report on the same thing) and summarize articles so you can skim them to get the info quicker. Plus, by selecting certain keywords and/or topics that you don’t care about, you can have that content muted.
Note that Leo is available for Pro+, Business and Enterprise subscribers.
Define a Priority for Leo
To start training Leo by defining priorities, select Train Leo, which you can access from the All tab under Personal Feeds or Team Feeds or from a specific feed.
There are four main Priority types to choose from:
- Business Events: Leo will select content related to funding events, partnerships, product launches and similar happenings.
- Industry: Leo will select content related to a specific industry, like retail or travel.
- Like Board: Leo will select content based on other articles you’ve saved to Boards.
- Topic: Leo will select content with mentions of companies, keywords, people, products, topics, etc.
Multiple priorities can be set for a single feed. Let’s say we want Leo to find articles about Disney. We’ll start by adding “Walt Disney World” and “Disneyland” as topics.
Topic is the selected Priority type. In the search box, I’ll add “Walt Disney World” as the first topic. I’m going to choose the location, not the keyword or related topics.
Next, I want to add “Disneyland” as a second topic. I’ll click the Plus Sign with Or to the right of “Walt Disney World,” then follow the same process as above.
Now, if I want to add a different type of Priority to further refine this rule, I can do that by clicking the Plus Sign with And. I’ll choose Business Event as the Priority, then select Product Launches as the type of Business Event. This way, I’ll get information about product launches that have to do with Disney Parks.
Once you’ve set your rules, you can find Leo’s Priority articles in the Priority tab of any of your feeds or in the Leo Priorities section, which is in the left-side navigation bar.
Set a Deduplication Skill
If you want to get rid of duplicate articles from your feeds, Leo can do that, too. Even better? It’s automatic. Leo already has this skill activated for your keyword alerts and feeds, getting rid of any articles that are very close to ones that are already there (85% or more content overlap). You can see how many duplicate articles have been removed by viewing the small gray box on the bottom-right of your feed.
You can also see how many total duplicates were removed by heading to your feed’s Analytics tab.
Note that this skill is only available with a Pro+ or Business account. Also, articles under 200 words can’t be deduplicated at the moment, but this feature may be coming in the future.
Set a Mute Filter
Figuring out what you don’t want is just as important as figuring out what you do want. With Mute Filters, you can get rid of content that includes keywords, whether that’s a specific author, company, topic, website, etc. To create one of these filters, select Train Leo, then Mute Filters.
You can then enter a company, product or keyword that you want Leo to mute, and you can choose which feed you want it muted in, including all of your feeds. Here’s an example of muting Apple-related information:
With Feedly, you can add Notes and Highlights to your saved content, and you can also share articles and annotations with the rest of the team.
Annotate Your Feedly Content
Feedly has Notes and Highlights annotation tools to let you interact with the content you deem the most important. And since Boards don’t expire, you can access those annotations whenever you need to.
To add a Note to an article, open the article and click the Add Note box at the top. This will open up a slightly larger pane where you can write your Note.
To add a Highlight, hold and drag your cursor over the segment you want to save. A menu will automatically pop up with several options, including Highlight at the top. You can also opt to mute or prioritize a selected phrase, search Feedly or Google for related content, or share the clip to one of your connected platforms.
Note that you need a paid plan to access this feature.
We mentioned in the section above how you can share a portion of an article to one of your connected platforms. If you want to share an entire article via email or social media or to a connected app, you can do that at the top:
Beyond that, if you have a Business plan, Team Feeds and Team Boards are a way to share high-value info with everyone on your team(s). You can also tag team members in the Notes and Highlights you leave on articles to catch their attention, and you can send Team Newsletters that round up the best content from your Boards.
There are all sorts of reasons for wanting to stay on top of content. You may have to perform ongoing research so you can remain competitive in your field. Maybe you have a trip coming up and need to know the latest info about the destination you’re traveling to. Or maybe you need to follow the status of a company or product launch so you can create your own content the minute information goes public.
Whatever your reasons for wanting to fill your daily reader, Feedly can help. And if you’re willing to shell out a bit of cash, you can make it work for you so you can spend more time soaking up information and less time trying to find something you want to read.

In the years before Instagram, Twitter was the platform to utilize hashtags. Yes, hashtags did have some use on Pinterest, and they are still used on Google+, but when someone thought about social media + hashtags, Twitter was the clear and obvious choice.
Twitter’s association with hashtags is now equal to the association you have between hashtags and Instagram. And perhaps, hashtags on Instagram are even more relevant given the fact that you often see about 10 or more hashtags on any posted Instagram image.
Why Use Hashtags on Instagram
In short, hashtag use on Instagram is less about being funny or clever, and more about getting your content found by the right people and you being able to find the content you most want to see. Hashtags included in Instagram photo captions and comments are clickable, and take you to a list of other images that use the same hashtag, shown in reverse chronological order. It’s the use of hashtags as a discovery mechanism that makes them so useful and critical from a strategy standpoint. That’s also why there are usually several hashtags included in every Instagram post (in comparison to the use of hashtags on other social media platforms).
Why You Should Research Hashtags Ahead of Using
The great thing about searching for Instagram hashtags is that Instagram includes a count of posts that use that hashtag to the right of the hashtag. This is key because something as minor as adding or removing an “s” from a hashtag can greatly impact your potential results.
In this example, you see that #fashiondesign is used in over 1.3 million posts, but #fashiondesigns (with the “s” added to the end) is only use 17,000 times.
How to Search for Hashtags on Instagram
There are 3 ways to search for what hashtags are best to use in your Instagram posts.
- Clicking on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the screen, within the Instagram app After clicking on it, you are met with a Search box at the top, plus Trending posts. Tap inside the Search box and then choose “Tags”. As you start typing out a word, Instagram will auto-populate with hashtag options.
- In the caption of your new Instagram post When you get ready to post a new image to your Instagram account and are on the screen where you can give a caption to your image, you’ll see that a hashtag search screen pops us as soon as you type “#”. As you type, Instagram will auto-populate hashtags options for you.
- On Instagram.com That’s right – the photo app can be searched in your browser! If you are doing some heavy hashtag research for your business, it’s likely easier to do it on your laptop instead of within the add. The Search box is in the center, at the top of the page on Instagram.com.Â
The best thing about Instagram hashtag searches is the fact you have several options to do so and can choose a method that best works for your work style.
Make sure to never take Instagram hashtag use for granted again, and do your research before you post!

Feeling stuck or lost. Struggling to break free from self-defeating patterns. Old memories bleeding into today. Uncertainty about the direction of life or relationships. These are all symptoms of unresolved experiences and hurts. You have survived - but you deserve to thrive.
Resolve is about uncovering the roots or origin of whatever is keeping you from living your best life. Often we aren't even fully aware of what we have actually walked through. In Resolve we look at your life with eyes wide open, to understand where you come from and what has impacted the way you live today. We focus on what happened before you became an adult, the most crucial periods of development. It's not about blame, it's about looking at things the way the really were, and really are - the risk of not doing so, is that you may continue to carry the burden of feelings and experiences that don't actually belong to you.
Part 1: Understanding Core Issues and Trauma (anything less than nurturing..the vastness of this umbrella may surprise you).
Part 2: Debriefing the timeline of your childhood and adolescence, connecting the dots between feelings and experiences from back then, with feelings and experiences in your present life.
Part 3: Experiential processing. Using a variety of modalities we hone in on the most significant people, places, and things that impacted you deeply. We work out shame, and give permission for feelings and words that may not have been available to you in the past. Our goal is to bring relief, resolution...resolve.
You will walk away from this experience changed.

The fundamentals of home décor is a dynamic subject, with global trends and décor sensibilities that evolve all the time. So, when you decide to deck up your room, you may consider the following trends and mix them with your tastes and preferences. There is also a constant dilemma when it comes to selecting décor items. Apart from the usual furniture and décor items, identifying a décor that is a truly inspiring and functional addition to your room can be a challenge. Regardless of any space, when you set out to decorate, there are a few essential aspects that should dictate your choice of décor. These include your inner creativity, paying attention to details, choosing the correct colour palette and, of course, avoiding décor faux pas at all costs.
To help inspire you for choosing the right décor for your room decoration, here is a handy list of must-have decor items:
Botanical wall art
Botanical interiors have seen a significant increase as a trend in the last few years. Not surprisingly, social media sites have seen botanical ‘posts’ and ‘saves’ as one of the most popular trends in home décor ideas. Because of the ever-increasing urban lifestyle, there is an indomitable desire among people to bring nature to their indoor spaces. Adopting the botanical theme doesn’t necessarily mean creating a ‘jungalow’. Ornamental elements such as wallpapers or wall frames can add a lot of drama and character – particularly when combined with actual indoor plants! These botanical prints make for a gorgeous and versatile visual element to any room – be it your bedroom, foyer or powder room.
Baskets have been a popular room decoration item since time immemorial. Apart from their practical benefits, baskets add a lot of depth and warmth to your room. In many households, baskets have been mainly used for storage purposes and were overlooked as statement pieces. However, you might lose count of the number of décor ideas to come up with using these baskets. From using the basket as planters, accessorizing your walls or simply storing coffee table books in it, the list is endless. Baskets come in numerous types of weaves and material; Ellementry’s grey metal baskets are perfect for mixing uniqueness with utility.
As a famous interior designer puts it aptly, “I like to put a mirror at a dead-end of a hallway, or opposite the window in a window-challenged room. Or to angle a mirror slightly, getting only the light and not the reflection. It’s also a classic above the fireplace—because it works.”
Mirrors are an integral part of interior design simply because they are functional, practical and decorative. It acts as decorative accents in foyers and drawing room while doubling up the space in smaller rooms. Mirrors act like magic room decoration elements that increase light, space and views.
With a large portion of our daily life spent in office cubicles, our homes must reflect and remind us of nature. And what better way to do so than to decorate your room with plants? Plants make your room lively and fresh, and it does a great job filling up awkward gaps and dead spaces. Indoor plants act as great purifiers, helping us fight the perils of air pollution. Plants add life to your home, no matter what colour scheme you have for your room. Using plants as hanging pots, wall planters, decorated on coffee tables, in bookshelves etc., you can also create your quirky little ‘jungalow’. Studies have confirmed that adding plants to your room helps in bringing down anxiety and stress, and it plays a major role in your mental and physical health.
Coffee tables are usually part of a living room or lounge room. However, they can be great accent pieces to create beautiful vignettes for any room. It has a lot of practical uses and is immensely versatile. You can use it to showcase your choicest books, your finest Cubans or just a small artefact that you picked up on your travels. It also acts as an anchor for your ottomans, sofas and armchairs. Although coffee tables rest unassumingly as a part of your room decoration with its utility and elegance, it is one décor item whose absence is noticeable in the first glance.
The lighting of the house can make a big difference. From ensuring that natural light comes in aplenty throughout the day to make a cosy environment in the evening, lighting is an essential part of décor. You can make a personal style statement with light fixtures that are sure to leave your guests spellbound – be it with lamps, fairy lights or candles. Besides, rather than going for the predictable overhead lighting, you can mix it up with a variety of sources like pendant lamps, floor lamps, table lamps etc. and customize their positioning to get a unique accent lighting output. Ellementry has a collection of awe-inspiring table and pendant lamps to choose from, take the relaxed elegance of the pebble pot lamp, for instance!
Rugs are to our homes what shoes are to a well-dressed outfit as they can be a real game-changer in a room’s appearance. A well-chosen rug can tie together the room and everything that’s in it. Continuing with the shoe analogy, you may end up mixing your tuxedo with flip-flops, by selecting a rug that is not in sync with your room. For example, if your room has many quirky decors, a soothing white rug can be a strange choice. There are many choices in rugs, and they come in all sorts of shapes and designs. You will never run out of options from the cool off-white shaded patterns to wool shag rugs and patchworks to Persians while selecting a rug. Rest assured, there is a rug just for your room decoration!
If you want to give a stamp of uniqueness and originality to your home, you should consider choosing Ellementry for its beautiful range of home decor options. Ellementry’s online platform houses carefully curated handcrafted décor items handpicked especially for you. While selecting from Ellementry’s decor range, you must pay attention to your room’s overall symmetry and try to combine the textures and colours. Room decoration is much like baking a cake, the layering of the decors and accessories can be the masterstroke in bringing out the stellar final look of your room.

Emerald Group Publishing Limited
Copyright © 2004, Emerald Group Publishing Limited
As you know I usually dedicate these lines to a discussion and description of the articles appearing in the issue. I’ll get to that in a moment, but first I would like to share with you an e-commerce anecdote, fresh on my mind as it has just reached closure. Perhaps there is a lesson in it.
A month ago the Systems Administrator in my office downloaded and installed a trial version of a popular server-side antivirus security suite. We were upgrading our systems and it seemed like a good opportunity to try out a robust security product. The download was smooth and the product performed as expected. So, what’s the problem? Well, at the end of the trial period we received a systems message asking us to buy and enter an activation key. We’re a small office and the five-user license was to cost just over $200, so it seemed a simple matter to go online with a credit card and execute the transaction.
But while the company’s Web site had allowed us to download the trial version, it had restricted actual online purchase to those businesses located in the US or Canada. In other words, “download it, try it, like it, but we can’t help you actually purchase it”. To make matters worse, there was a list of “other” countries where the company suggested offline purchases can be made after speaking to a salesperson – but Israel, and many other countries, did not have a sales office on the list.
So began a scramble to find an actual person somewhere in the world who would accept a credit card payment and provide the software activation key over the phone.
After four e-mails and a series of telephone calls to New York, California, Ottawa, London and Dubai, we were finally told that there is indeed a local Master Distributor in Tel-Aviv. A phone call to the Tel-Aviv distributor (who also could not sell direct), led us to the same Systems Integrator that had actually sold us our new hardware a month ago – who could sell us the software for less than the price (almost) offered online. Something is very wrong with this picture.
The reason underlying this sales debacle is the company’s desire to control its distribution channels and keep them motivated by limiting the consumer’s ability to purchase without going through a local office. Understandable? Only if you are short-sighted. A proper e-commerce strategy would:
structure distributor compensation to include a (possibly reduced) commission for online purchases originating in their territory; and
indicate to potential customers downloading trial software that there are restrictions as to online purchase.
What makes this case even more annoying is that we are talking about a company that makes its living selling products designed to make Internet usage smoother and safer. It also tells us that we still have a very long way to go in designing and implementing online and hybrid (clicks-and-mortar) marketing strategies. True story.
There is perhaps no better motivation for the first two papers in this issue. In “E-volution of a supply chain: cases and best practices” by Folinas, Manthou, Sigala and Vlachopoulou, we are shown that there are indeed better ways to plan and manage a supply chain. In “A practical evaluation of Web analytics”, Phippen, Sheppard and Furnell treat us to a fresh look at how to evaluate Web site performance and its actual correlation with company strategy. Now there’s something my security software vendor might consider – correlating their strategy with their Web site.
D’Ambra and Wilson, in “Explaining perceived performance of the world wide Web: uncertainty and the task-technology fit model”, focus on the use of travel related information. Their detailed empirical study reveals a number of new insights into the effectiveness of the world wide Web as information resource in supporting decision making by users and consumers.
Also in this issue we have Dixon and Quinn with “Franchising and the Internet: an exploratory study of franchisor Web sites” – an exploratory study in an area that has not received much attention to date – and Berry discussing “Internet research: privacy, ethics and alienation: an open source approach”, exploring an area that has received considerable attention, from a new and refreshing perspective.

End of SME-Project
January 24, 2023
On November 30, 2022, our European research and innovation programme project ended after 36 months. And what a time it has been – successes and setbacks, largely due to the Corona virus, were close together. For a detailed overview click here.
Overall, we can state that we have concluded the project with a positive outlook and the first commercial successes and partnerships.
What have we learned?
We are extremely grateful for the support we have received via the EIC programme, we have had a very good exchange with our project officers, our coaches and we have taken part in some of the additional programmes open to companies that are supported by the EU, from networking across Europe, seeking investment up to addressing the issue of carbon reduction. We are very happy to recommend the EIC programme for any company that is in advanced technological areas and needs help in their market-entry phase.
We underestimated the time it takes to take products from a proof of concept stage to the market and we are much more focused on this intricate process than 3 years ago. A difficult lesson to learn, but an invaluable step forward.
EIC Accelerator – Thank You Very Much

The final day of the Premier League was a pulsating one, as Manchester City staged an epic and dramatic comeback, slotting in three goals in five minutes to beat Aston Villa and retain the Premier League title.
Pep Guardiola’s side needed a win to secure their fourth title in five seasons, but the chances looked to be slipping away as goals from Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho at both ends of the interval put Villa 2-0 ahead and in control.
Just when it seemed like Steven Gerrard might have handed his former team, Liverpool, the title, Manchester City roared to life as Ilkay Gundogan, came off the bench to pull one back for City in the 76th minute.
Two minutes later, Rodri made it two, before Gundogan, struck again and sent the Etihad into wild celebrations, leaving Pep in tears.
The nerve-wracking game means Liverpool finished second, one point behind City, despite securing a comfortable win against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
