Dr. Tina Brar of SIMEDHealth's Arthritis Center recently wrote an article for House Calls Magazine, a seasonal publication for the Alachua County Medical Society. The following article discusses advances in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis.

Article content:
Although psoriasis has been described since the time of Hippocrates, psoriatic
arthritis was identified as a separate disease entity in the 1960s by what is now the
American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Initially thought to be benign, it is now recognized
as a member of the spondyloarthropathies and is a debilitating, progressive illness with
a comparable impact on functional ability and quality of life as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Early
diagnosis is imperative to prevent long-term disability and ensure optimal management of the
disease and its comorbidities.
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a complex affliction with musculoskeletal involvement-
including arthritis, dactylitis, enthesitis and/or axial involvement as well as skin and nail
disease. Although the exact pathogenesis is not known, it is thought that genetic, immunologic
and environmental factors play a role. The prevalence of PsA in the United States is around
0.25%, however about 30% of patients with psoriasis also have psoriatic arthritis, affecting
men and women equally. It is therefore prudent to screen all psoriasis patients for PsA. Varying
patterns of the disease mimic different inflammatory conditions, such as gout and RA.
Approximately 15% of patients develop arthritis prior to skin involvement, making the diagnosis
difficult. Generally, laboratory tests are unhelpful as there is no specific test for PsA and
systemic inflammatory markers may be elevated in only half the cases. The genetic marker HLA-B27
is not a diagnostic test as no more than 2% of people born with this gene will eventually
develop a spondyloarthropathy. A multidisciplinary approach between dermatology and
rheumatology is helpful in analyzing many cases. Recognition of this disease process has
increased with the introduction of the classification criteria, CASPAR, as well as the development
of several screening tools that allow for timely intervention.
Anecdotally, treatment options for PsA were limited to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) and conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
Initially developed to treat rheumatoid arthritis, these medications have varying benefits
in treating inflammation and the vast manifestations of PsA as well. Multiple systematic reviews
have determined that the effect size of these DMARDs such as methotrexate, sulfasalazine and
leflunomide are not very high and cyclosporine is seen as toxic. Corticosteroids can be used both
locally as injections and systemically, although not supported by evidence-along with the concern
of rebound psoriasis upon withdrawal of the drug.
Spanning the past decade, the availability of targeted synthetic and biologic DMARDs
has revolutionized treatment. Given these advances, a "treat-to-target" approach towards
management has been proposed, following its favorable application in other rheumatic
conditions. The ultimate objective of therapy is to procure the lowest possible level of
disease activity in all aspects of the illness. Despite a lack of cure, there are now effective
Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), which block the inflammatory mediator TNF-α, have been
around for over two decades and have established breakthrough efficacy in patients with
PsA. Five TNFi are now available, including adalimumab, etanercept, infliximab, golimumab and
certolizumab. Along with improvement in clinical signs and symptoms, these treatments
also decrease radiographic evolvement of disease. All TNF-α blockers have been studied in
randomized control trials as well as in observational studies with consistent evidence
supporting their efficacy and safety in PsA. Currently, trial data is limited in
regards to switching from one inhibitor to another, although clinically it is a successful
strategy. The choice of agent is based upon patient preference as well as regulatory and
payor requirements and/or limitations
In recent years, new biologics with alternative modes of action have also been tested
and approved in PsA. Ustekinumab is an FDA approved IL 12/23 inhibitor with evidence in
treating arthritis, skin, enthesitis and dactylitis. Guselkumab, an IL-23 blocker, is
currently FDA approved for psoriasis only and is under investigation for the management of PsA with
promising data.
Research now highlights the importance of the TL- 17 pathway and a number of therapies
targeting this pathway are being studied. FDA approved anti-IL-17 therapies include
secukinumab and ixekizumab. Currently brodalumab is FDA approved for psoriasis only,
but has shown efficacy in trials for PsA as well.
Tofacitinib is an oral inhibitor of Janus kinase that has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of PsA in several randomized trials including patients with both an inadequate response to conventional DMARDs and TNFα(alpha) to inhibitors.
Abatacept, a selective T-cell costimulation modulator used in the treatment of
rheumatoid arthritis, has also shown benefit in patients with PsA in limited published
randomized trials and therefore became FDA-approved last year.
Apremilast, a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor, is a newly targeted synthetic DMARD that
induces suppression of several inflammation mediators including IL-2, IL-12, TNF-α, IFN-γ
and inducible nitric oxide synthase. Efficacy and safety in PsA has been demonstrated
through four multi-centric, randomized trials (PALACE Trials) compared to placebo in patients who
failed other biological options.
Unfortunately, evidence-based guidelines to navigate
how these therapies should be used are lacking. Several
international and national recommendation sets are created such as GRAPPA (figure 1) and
EULAR, with the aim to help rheumatologists in everyday clinical practice management. At this
time, drug choices are made according to available safety data, presence of extra-
articular manifestations, cost and patient's preference. Information directly comparing all
biological drugs and assessing the efficacy of treatment options specific for PsA is urgently
The hope is that in the future PsA patients will be treated earlier and more aggressively
with targeted drug therapies to escape marked progression of joint damage. Moreover, with effective
management of the skin and joint disease as well as the consideration of risk factors for
comorbidities, it will be reasonable to expect to improve the quality of life and function in these

Normally presented in the form of joint swelling, stiffness, and pain, arthritis affects 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. and is the leading cause of disability. Not only is May arthritis awareness month, but it's also the beginning of a season for summer travels and family activities.
Here Dr. Tina Brar, of SIMEDHealth Rheumatology, provides us with some tips on how to best manage symptoms to make the most of your summer.
Water Activities:
Because those with arthritis have a limited range of motion, it can be difficult to remain active. However, during the summer months, you can help to relieve the pressure on your joints by getting in the water. Additionally, Dr. Brar recommends yoga and tai-chi-like exercise to help strengthen the muscles around your joints to stabilize them.
"Regular activity is important for any healthy lifestyle. A lack of activity is what allows your joints to get stiff and for muscles to weaken and deteriorate," Dr. Brar said.
Scheduled Breaks:
"As long as you're not straining yourself, frequent movement and stretching will help to alleviate your joint stiffness," Dr. Brar said.
While you're traveling and getting outside this summer, Dr. Brar recommends taking scheduled breaks to stretch as well as scheduled breaks to rest. It's important to balance your periods of activity with periods of rest.
Diet for Weight Loss:
Sometimes activity for weight loss is not always possible if you have arthritis. However, dieting for weight loss can be especially important in helping to improve quality of life. According to Dr. Brar and the Arthritis Foundation, one pound of fat on your abdomen puts an additional 4 to 5 pounds of pressure on your knees.
Watching your diet will help to alleviate pressure on your joints and keep you more mobile during summer activities.
"Arthritis is a wide-spread problem. There are multiple types of arthritis and not all are treated the same," Dr. Brar said.
When it comes to supplements, Dr. Brar said there's no harm in taking turmeric or glucosamine, which are popular among the arthritis community. However, you should talk with your doctor prior to taking them.
Dr. Brar said she believes that those with arthritis should still be able to live fully.
"While we can't yet cure arthritis, we can manage how it affects our lifestyle," she said.
If you're experiencing additional symptoms or need help managing your arthritis, request an appointment to talk with a SIMEDHealth Rheumatologist today.
SIMED would like to take this opportunity to welcome Tina Brar, MD to the SIMED Arthritis Center. Dr. Brar is a graduate of the Xavier University School of Medicine and completed her Residency in Internal Medicine and Fellowship in Rheumatology at Brown University.
Dr. Brar is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and available to treat patients with a variety of rheumatological conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, Lyme's disease, tendinitis, cervical disease, scleroderma, and vasculitis.
Dr. Brar will be available for patients in our Gainesville and Chiefland offices. To schedule your appointment with Dr. Brar, please call (352) 378-5173 or schedule your appointment online.

On 9 November 1989, the Berlin Wall was opened following a press conference by the government of the Deutsche Demokratishe Republik.
Thirty years is a long time. The wall separating East and West Berlin has now been down longer than it was up. Erected in 1961 by a communist government to keep East German citizens from fleeing to freedom in the west, the barrier soon spread to much of the frontier between the two formerly united countries. It came to symbolize the slavery that communism imposed on its citizens.
I was stationed in West Germany in 1988 through 1990 and saw the last gasps of the communist system before it finally collapsed.
It was an amazing experience to see the wall open and the joy of those oppressed people. Unfortunately, the lessons of the evils of communism has been lost in a single generation. History it seems, is always doomed to repeat itself.

Headquarters location: CityAddis Ababa
Location(s) of impactEthiopia: Talalak district, Afar regional state
Problem: What problem is this initiative trying to address?Afar region is dry land. Mainly due to climate change and human factors, Afar pastoral communities are affected by cyclical droughts continuing to threaten their livestock based livelihoods causing massive death of livestock, shortage of pasture and water leading to food insecurity. In Afar the majority of the population is dependent on food aid (grain). 41% of children are stunted (DHS, 2016). Children and lactating mothers are commonly malnourished. Talalak is one of the most impoverished districts in Afar region.
Solution Summary: What is the proposed solution? What do you see as its most promising aspects for creating shared value?Cognizant of under nourished children, lactating and pregnant women in the region, AISDA launched a an innovative project named "Linking Agriculture with Nutrition in Talalak (LANT)" funded by the USAID. The project in completely new its kind in Afar region. It has been proposed to provide drought resistant, cheap and simple remedies for food and micro-nutrient deficiency among lactating and pregnant women; and children in the district. Main intervention is introducing the highly nutritious plant called Moringa Oleifera in combination with fruits and vegetables; and promoting the diversification of diets. In addition to massive plantation of moringa trees and fruits, massive awareness creation is creating shared value among stakeholders. AISDA's belief is, better nutrition would lead to improved health, enhances children's ability to learn, to become more productive as adults which in turn would help people escape poverty over time. The solution can be replicated in other Afar areas.
Impact: What is the impact of the work to date? Specify both the social and the environmental impact of your workFor about 49,000 direct and 92, 000 indirect beneficiaries, to date the project plated 1.1 million Moringa trees and thousands of fruit trees. Awareness improved through intensive community conversations, door-to-door education; support to school clubs, institutional enhancement to health facilities in rural areas, installed Moringa mills, and establishment and training to cooperatives divided in to producing, processing and marketing groups. A recent independent evaluation has revealed that People have now started consuming Moringa as meal and fruits in their daily diet. 73% respondents agreed Moringa's contribution to improved nutrition to their children and 41.5% have started consuming Moringa in their regular meals. Nearly 82% of them have planted 1-3 trees. 79.4% of respondents have the interest to buy and consume Moringa in the future. Massive plantation has created Moringa forest contributing to improved micro climate in the desert and a home to small animals like rabbits.
Financial sustainability plan: How is this initiative financially supported? How will you ensure its financial sustainability long-term?The project has been funded by the USAID. The project is designed considering long term financial sustainability as its new for Afar herder communities . By design, we have set up 11 cooperatives each having self help groups with specified tasks of production, processing and marketing. All cooperatives are equipped with training and tools. In addition to their own contributions, the cooperatives are provided with seed money for running their already established Moringa and fruit farms, packaging and branding, run their mills and diversify marketing areas. Again, our work on shared value has attracted the government to recognize the initiative for sustainability. The prize money is key for finalizing our gained success for more 2-3 years till full achievement of objectives and replicate it.
Unique value proposition: What makes your initiative innovative? How does your project differ from other organizations working in the same field?In Afar, to tackle the problem of under-nutrition and malnutrition the common approach has been providing children, pregnant and lactating women with free nutrient-rich food aid by INGOs. We believe, that approach has been unsustainable, expensive, insufficient and creates dependency. We are unique in trying to avoiding dependency, promoting self sustenance, solving nutrition gap by introducing a very nutritious, environmentally sound, cost effective, economically possible and simple approach.
Founding story: Share a story about the "Aha!" moment that sparked the beginning of this initiative.I am the founder of AISDA. We have been experiencing trying innovative approaches and projects that brought relative success to date. Example, we received an international health impacts award in 2012 as a result of an innovative approach in addressing health problem. Our team is keen to trying to new ways of solving community challenges. The nutrition project is no exception. We were all looking for ways to permanently solve the nutrition gap among children and mothers in Afar until we studied Moringa to be the best and simplest solution to it. We believe it brings a shift in eating habit. The miracle tree "Moringa" is far richer in contents of major micro-nutrients compared to foods like milk, fruits, egg and other foods. The trust and initiative from local partners to commonly share our new ideas has been very encouraging. For us, there is no hard to reach community. Yes, we can!

Budget carriers Scoot and Tigerair are not moving to Changi Airport's future Terminal 4 (T4).
This is despite the promise of savings from a widespread use of self-service options for passengers that will reduce the need for increasingly expensive labour.
Scoot's chief executive Campbell Wilson said that the terminal, which opens in 2017, is not suitable for the airline's operations because Scoot flies the Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 and there are only four contact gates for such wide-body aircraft. The remaining 17 gates and attached aero bridges are for smaller planes, such as the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737.
"This means we will have to bus passengers to and from the terminal and aircraft, which is an inconvenience," he told The Straits Times.
With plans to grow its fleet to 20 planes by early 2019, "T4 will not be able to accommodate our operations", said the head of the Singapore Airlines-owned long-haul budget carrier.
Changi Airport Group has said that so far, Malaysian carrier AirAsia, along with its affiliates Indonesia AirAsia and Thai AirAsia, as well as Korean Air, Vietnam Airlines and Cathay Pacific will operate out of T4, which will be able to handle up to 16 million passengers a year.
If Scoot does not move to T4, Tigerair will not move either, said Mr Lee Lik Hsin, chief executive of Tigerair, which is an SIA subsidiary.
Both airlines currently operate at T2, alongside SIA and its regional arm, SilkAir.
Mr Lee said: "Being part of the SIA group, it is important for us to leverage on all possible synergies.... We have considered all the various issues and the bottom line is that it is important for us to be in the same terminal as Scoot."
This is crucial as the two carriers are pushing for closer ties, including selling each other's tickets and growing the number of passengers connecting from one airline to the other through Changi Airport.
Mr Wilson declined to divulge numbers, but said that connecting traffic has more than doubled in the last few months and will continue to grow strongly.
Tigerair, which used to operate at the Budget Terminal until it was torn down to make way for the future T4, has stressed many times that closer ties with the SIA group is a key strategy to turn its loss-making business around.
Mr Lee spoke to reporters via teleconference yesterday after the airline announced a $1.7 million net loss in the three months from April to June, from a $65.2 million loss a year ago. He said the team will continue to work towards profitability, which includes growing non-ticket or ancillary revenue.
The airline has, for example, launched a neighbour-free seating scheme on selected routes, offering passengers the option of having an empty seat next to them for a fee to be determined through bidding.
"Ancillary revenue has been relatively stable but, of course, we would like for it to grow more," said Mr Lee.

What is the National Living Wage?
Posted on by lauren | No Comments
We are all well aware of the national minimum wage, but soon to be introduced is the national living wage. Not sure what it is? Let me explain. The national minimum wage was first introduced way back in April 1999 when Labour were in power by the Low Pay Commission. Its started at just £3.00

The new SES pay system will be important not only for SES members but also for other employees, particularly managers.
The SES, being a relatively small group of around 6,000, is seen as a testing ground for pay-for-performance in general and for linking individual performance to agency goals in particular. A series of laws enacted in the 1990s attempted to create such links, but agencies have found it difficult to recast their performance evaluation systems in those terms.
The Defense Department budget act containing the SES pay changes also authorizes the creation of a government-wide "human capital performance fund" similarly designed to reward good performers, while requiring that agencies show "a link between the pay-for-performance system, the employee performance appraisal system, and the agency's strategic plan."
Officials working out what that provision and other language specifically require indicate that it will be some time before guidance on the performance fund is issued. It appears likely that guidance on the SES system will come first – and thus set a precedent for employees at other levels.

The Man Who Fell On Mersin
For the first time in over three years, Om Fares, the kids and I all went on vacation together. We left Tartous on the morning of Thursday the 2nd and headed to the port of Lattakia. There, we boarded a ferry boat and sailed away to Mersin, Turkey. It took the 270-passenger catamaran a little bit under four hours to cross the 95 nautical miles. Come early evening, we were riding in Ugur's taxi to the Hilton in the quiet Mediterranean city (Ugur is the Cabby's name, and since I like to put a name on a face, "what is your name?" was my first question on my first time visit to Turkey).
While waiting in the modest passenger terminal at the port of Lattakia I was taking in phone calls from the office. There was one more important email I needed to reply to. Much to the chagrin of Om Fares and the kids, I took my laptop out and started typing away. Like all addicts of modern technology, I derive so much satisfaction from the fact that my ultraportable Vaio has a built in GSM receiver, WILAN, WWAN and the bullshit list goes on and on… However, when I saw the look on their faces and guessed at their whispers, I pushed the Send button and uttered my promise. As long as we are on vacation I would not touch the damn thing, read my email or even post on my blog. "Promise?", Fares asked. "Promise", I replied.
Mersin proved to be a perfect choice. Temperatures were soaring all over. The family mutually agreed on not wanting to go around places but to rather stay in one city. As far as I was concerned, all I dreamed of was to sit in the shade by a body of water (a stunning swimming pool), read a good book (The Man Who Fell to Earth) and sip my misty drink (Vodka with anything). The little ones were just ecstatic to spend so much time in my company and to swim all day. Om Fares and Diana couldn't ask for more than to be able to get away from the three of us and maraud the shops and markets of Mersin. An excellent status quo was reached during the daylight hours and later on in the evening when we would all regroup, we would experience the little joys of a family vacation.
That's my first visit to Turkey and I need to give credit where it's due. Mersin is such a nice place and only a stone throw away from Tartous. Knowing this city intimately, as I've done over the last few days, is akin to having an affair with your beautiful neighbor. The city is extremely clean and peaceful for its size. People are very polite and courteous although a very few speak Arabic. To my surprise, almost no one outside the bounds of the hotel speak any English. This might sound strange until you realize that Mersin is not a tourist destination in the first place. Many excursions out of Syria in particular pass through Mersin for an overnight stay at the most. This simply means that Mersin is so unique because it has not been exploited yet.
On the other hand, Turkey is not the cheap country we all thought it was. Prices are much steeper than in Syria. They are very similar to those of Lebanon, if not a little more. The only reasonable thing we happily paid for was the great rate we secured at the Hilton before leaving. The hotel is simply fantastic and first class. At US$80.00 a night, per double room, breakfast included, this price is less than half of what you'd pay at the Sheraton in Damascus. And, I need to add that the standard of service is much higher as well.
We ate a little bit of everything. The kids, as all aliens from outer space, preferred the fast food variety. I had spent so much time by the pool I really didn't care much about what I would have for lunch or dinner. We had a couple of nice experiences with local food, once in the center at Sabah, a traditional Turkish joint, and then in a small wooden hut by the beach. Late at night we would go out for a walk on the pedestrian-only esplanade by the sea. I have no idea how long this seafront path stretches out. I had walked in either direction away from the hotel for over an hour but there seemed to be no end.
We came back yesterday (Thursday the 9th), in the same ferry boat. I'm so happy I've been able to take my mind and body away from work. I'm ever so grateful to have this wonderful opportunity to spend this quality time with my family as I haven't had the chance to do so recently. I have been bitching about my need for a vacation and I finally was able to get it. I don't think the therapeutic effects will last long after our return but let's put it this way, if I hadn't stopped and taken this time off right when I did the consequences would've been dire. I was on the verge of strangling a few people, or was it the other way around; a few people were on the verge of strangling me.
Next time around we visit Turkey it would be in the comfort and convenience of our own car. We intend to continue north in our pilgrimage to this beautiful and hospitable country. May be all the way to Istanbul! May be for a couple of weeks! It was good to be away. It's good to be back.

Sounds nice hal Marsin, and you're so right; it is better when a city is untouched by touristic flavor, unlike old Istanbul.
Did you have Iskandar kabab? :D
Apple tea?

Welcome back, Abu Fares..
Having, myself, just returned from holiday only three days ago, I assure you that all the therapeutic effects have already evaporated.. The expanded waistline will take much longer!!.. I will write about my holiday very soon, I hope..
A return trip to Turkey is a must.. I recommend Istanbul unreservedly..

al hamdillah 3la al salameh Abu Fares, welcome back :)
I am glad you were able to extricate yourself from work commitments, albeit for a week.
I didn't actually know there is a ferry service between Lattakia and Mersin, I've always envisaged that my long-awaited trip to Turkey would only be on a bus. It's good to have an alternative, although seaworthiness is a question. (not the ferry's seaworthiness but mine! .... yes, I have a sea-nausea)..
Anyway, again I am glad to see you've re-energized, hope things will be better and smooth at work...

Hi Yazan
Family vacations are like boot camps. You have to get back to basics as far as the idea of fun is concerned.
And, this, my friend, requires a lot of skill and more importantly, patience.
- Unknown said...
You have to take my word for it, but when I was as old as you (and almost as sexy) I slept in far worse places than hostels.
Anyway, you're right, I always felt that life is unfair to the young. As for the old, it just sucks.

We've both missed our chance to meet this time. Please don't make a habit out of it.
Can't wait to hear all about your homecoming to Damascus, of course in your very own pleasant words.

For Om Fares & the kids, the worst part of the journey was the sea journey. For me, it was just a convenient way to get from point A to point B.
I would never even consider making this journey in a bus. I hate busses so much.
I'm more than willing to travel Turkey in my own car though. With careful planning, and a couple of weeks to spend, it will be a most interesting visit.
- KJ said...
El7amdella 3al salameh Abu Fares and welcome back!
I am very pleased to hear that you have enjoyed your holiday in Turkey, admittedly with a slight hint of jealousy as my trip to Turkey with my cousin, the other Kinan, has been cancelled due to my company not giving me a holiday.
In any case, we must make certain that for the next holiday we all go to Istanbul. Kinan and I have now a solid idea of the best places to sleep over, to dine in, and to experience some unspeakable yet novel things.

Welcome back sheikh el shabab ,
well your post came right on time , i'm planning a trip to turkey next month so thank you for the awesome guide and the in-advance trip :P
- Ammoontie said...
Glad to hear that you have had an enjoyable family vacation.
- Unknown said...
Hi KJ
It's good to be back.
I'm certain that you would enjoy your time in Turkey. Istanbul is my next objective of course. However, August is certainly not the best month for such an adventure. Next year, or whenever the opporunity arises I want to go there either in June or September. There's no point in visiting a beautiful city in this overwhelming heat. The whole point is to walk the streets and take in the essence of the place. So you might be lucky after all. Aim for Sep. or better yet Oct. if you can.
- Unknown said...
Hi Gray Fox
Ahlan BilRjal!
Please read my reply to KJ. Unless I want to be a beach bum and do nothing at all this is not the best time to travel. Next month would be just fine. I wish you the best of times and please let us know about it.
- Unknown said...
Hi Ammoontie
Glad to see you over. Thank you.

Hello Abu Fares. It seems you had a good holiday.
But I must ask. What is it about MEN the minute the get in a TAXI they have to ask name, model, price of car, is it personal car, petrol consumption.....ad nauseam taxi after taxi. Arrrrghhhhh!
I guess its like women at the hairdressers!!!
The sea journey does sound longish, but better than being in a car I think. Because when the kids arent sleeping they r fighting over who's elbow is taking up more space on the arm rest. :D
hamdillah 3la al salama! Hope you had a wonderful time...Turkey is so beautiful and you really must go to Istanbul sometime. I didn't realise that there was a boat from Tartous to Mersin....hmmmm maybe next time inshallah.
- Unknown said...
Hello Kaya
I thought you already knew that I hate taxis and busses. My successful attempt at friendliness with Ugur had an ulterior motive. He helped me with the luggage (although you might not think that I need any help because I exude an aura of masculine power and sex appeal, nevertheless I suffer from almost constant lower back pain - ah, it's another story, one of the those war stories distinguished men like myself use to impress young breainless chicks who might fall for this crap),,, OK where was I, yes, having felt that Ugur is a nice guy, I asked about his name and mobile number, which proved useful eventually. This isn't what you bargained for when you commented, but it so nice to hear from you, I can go on and on...
- Unknown said...
Hi Arima
Istanbul it is. Next time hopefully.
The ferry boat is between Lattakia & Mersin from July to August if I'm not mistaken. The round trip fare is US$118 for adults and US$50 for children under 12.
It's rather a boring ride although the speed, if you get on the upper deck of the catamaran, is exhilirating. It was a matter of convenience that's all. Still, next time, I'd rather have my car so that we can go places (assuming I have a longer vacation).
- Kinano said...
Welcome back abu fares, you have been missed :)
We all need a break of the hustle and bustle of our daily routines every once in a while. Glad you enjoyed your time with your family :)
Good to have you back. Btw, could you tell us more about this book you're reading?! ;)
- Unknown said...
Hi Kinan
"The Man Who Fell to Earth" is a 1963 novel by walter Tevis. It depicts the life of an extraterrestrial humanoid who landed on earth on a one way flight to save his own people on Anthea from extinction. It's a master piece of modern literature and I recommend it as a must reading. In 1976, David Bowie made his movie debut and starred as T J Newton (the extraterrestrial) in what had later become a monumental film with a huge cult following. There are some fundamental differences between the novel and the movie but both are great and highly recommended.
By the way, this is my third reading of the book. Once you read and watch it, please give us your insight.
- Unknown said...
I have recently learned that there is a new version of the movie being shot right now. I can't wait for its release although it will be very hard to top Bowie's performance.
- Kinano said...
thank you abu fares :)
I will try my best to get a hold of the book. Once i finish my never ending "to-read" list.
- Karin said...
SO GREAT you all hat a wonderful time - and that you returned safely!! I've been three times to Turkey and - besides of the "ONLY-for-tourist-places - love it very much! I can only urge you to make it to Istambul - it is an absolutely fascinating city you MUST see! Another tip is Konya, the center of the Derwishes as well as a fantastic place to buy clothes and other articles from leather! if history fascinates you as much as it does me, don't miss Asklepeion and Pergamon ... south of Istambul!
I love travelling by boat (never fed the fish!!) ... as much as I love to fly!
I forgot already what the word "vacation" really means .. I'm alright though!
- Unknown said...
Hi Karin
I'm so happy to hear from you and would certainly follow your advise on Istanbul.
Vacation... Ahhh, it's already in the past. I'm back to reality.
- mdlount said...
Nice to hear nice things about my city of Mersin where I come from, just left the city came back to Dubai (another expat who lives abroad).
That the pedestrian-only by the sea contunuies about 5km, yes unfortunitly not many Turkish people can speak English or Arabic, I did lived in Damascus as well as, many middle eastern cities.
Please do come back to Turkey there lot more to Explore:)
- Unknown said...
thank you mirdifderya
i really loved mersin an had a great and relaxing time there with my family.
i intend to return to turkey, hopefully one coming summer.


text: On our first night in Niagra Falls, New York, we stayed at Hillcrest, a lovely B&B owned and operated by the amazing Cassidy. She purchased and converted her grandparents home into this quaint and beautiful abode. This is the sunroom. I sat here, sipping an orange cordial while reading poetry by Chilean novelist, Roberto Bolaño. It was the perfect end to a day that found us driving over 500 miles.

Refinance our Mortgage
When we bought our house, in March 2006, we were lucky to get financing at all. So we had to take hat we could get. Which was a five year ARM, with an initial APR of 7.5%.
Now, a year later, with both our credit scores somewhere around 700, we thought it would be easy to refinance that first mortgage. So we responded to one of those *lower-my-bills* ads. We explained our financial situation in full detail, submitted about 50 pages of paperwork to prove it, and got pre-approved.
The mortgage broker sent an appraiser out to our house, we had to pay $400 for that. And then, very much to our surprise, the broker told us *Sorry, but we can't give you that money - Tom hasn't been self-employed for two years yet.*. We were pissed, to put it mildly.
But at least that mortgage broker knew somebody who works at a bank. And, using this personal connection, we finally managed to get the deal done. It took another two months, another 50 pages of paperwork, and approximately 20 phone calls. Now we have a 30-years fixed rate, at 6.4% APR - and sufficient cash back, so we can build a fence around our back yard. Armani will enjoy that!

A week before Donald Trump's November election victory in the U.S., Canadian tech leaders were beaming after Ottawa said it would introduce changes to attract skilled foreign workers.
Finance Minister Bill Morneau said the new "global skills strategy" set to launch in spring 2017 would target high-growth companies and include features such as a two-week standard to process visas and work permits.
These changes to immigration policy and Trump's victory both may give Canadian tech startups an edge in 2017 after the sector's struggles with a talent crunch in the previous year.
Vancouver tech companies like Canada Drives reported a rise in applications from the U.S. following Trump's win.
"With Trump coming into power in 2017 and talent crunch being a global issue, immigration of tech and professional talent in general for that matter will be a hot topic," said Ray Walia, a managing partner at Victory Square and CEO of the Launch Academy incubator.
"Locally we see opportunities, but don't be fooled – other countries are vying for the same talent we are and trying to build their own economies."
On the consumer side of things, Walia said sports-related virtual reality (VR) has been making a big push since October.
He expects the momentum to continue into the new year as other live forms of entertainment like concerts, plays and amusement parks adopt more VR and augmented reality (AR) elements.
Rocky Ozaki, vice-president of community at the BC Tech Association, told Business in Vancouver that the region could make a run at becoming a hub for VR and AR.
Surrey-based Conquer Mobile specializes in VR technology for health-care professionals. Beijing-based Match-Light Interactive Entertainment Technology Corp. hired 10 workers and opened its first North American office in Burnaby in September. About 30 developers are expected to be working on VR experiences at the company's subsidiary, Fire-Point Interactive, by 2018.
And in December, Port Coquitlam's Finger Food Studios unveiled its $1 million "Holodeck" – a 26,000-square-foot facility used for showcasing life-size holograms using Microsoft's (Nasdaq:MSFT) HoloLens headset.
Ozaki said Vancouver's own background in the film and TV sector gives it a leg up compared with other potential hubs in North America.
In a December report, Central 1 Credit Union forecast economic growth in B.C. would slip from 3.5% in 2016 to 2.3% in 2017.
Ozaki, who emphasized he's not an economist, said he does not expect the slowdown in the rest of the economy to interrupt the momentum the local tech sector has experienced this year.
"I don't think it's an option," he said. "We have to forge on."
Mojio, a Vancouver-based tech company that has developed devices to connect cars to the Internet through the vehicles' own built-in computers, has benefited greatly from the 2016 momentum.
At the end of the year, it closed US$15 million in financing and launched partnerships with companies like Amazon (Nasdaq:AMZN) and U.S. wireless carrier T-Mobile (Nasdaq:TMUS).
"There are half a billion cars between North America and Europe that could be connected [to the Internet] that are not," said Mojio CEO Kenny Hawk. "That's the market we're going after for the next several years."@reporton

Wisconsin students deserve qualified teachers
Out of the 132 elected representatives in the Legislature, only one is an educator, holding a lifetime teaching license. It's no surprise, then that the proposed budget to be voted on by the Assembly on September 13 and soon after by the Senate includes harmful provisions that will result in the quality of teachers in our students' classrooms.
Take action now to tell your elected officials to remove harmful teacher licensing provisions from the budget!
One of the worst provisions in the budget creates a backdoor way to lower teaching standards by allowing initial teaching licenses to be granted to individuals certified by online licensing factories that refuse to meet minimum standards set by the Legislature and Department of Public Instruction. This opens the door to outfits such as the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence, which operates in Florida, Arkansas and Tennessee, to name a few. The Board's website promotes its program as a way to earn teacher certification in less than one year, without taking on debt or returning to school. Student teaching is not required as a basis of certification.
WEAC and the DPI strenuously object to this provision, as Wisconsin has existing alternative pathways and also recognizes out-of-state licenses. Read and take action on the license provisions included in the budget.

Wayne White is an American artist, art director, illustrator, puppeteer, and much, much more. Born and raised in Chattanooga, Wayne has used his memories of the South to create inspired works for film, television, and the fine art world. After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University, Wayne traveled to New York City where he worked as an illustrator for the East Village Eye, New York Times, Raw Magazine, and the Village Voice. In 1986, Wayne became a designer for the hit television show Pee-wee's Playhouse, and his work was awarded with three Emmys. After traveling to Los Angeles with his wife, Mimi Pond, Wayne continued to work in television and designed sets and characters for shows such as Shining Time Station, Beakman's World, Riders In The Sky, and Bill & Willis. He also worked in the music video industry, winning Billboard and MTV Music Video Awards as an art director for seminal music videos including The Smashing Pumpkins' 'Tonight, Tonight' and Peter Gabriel's 'Big Time.'
More recently, Wayne has had great success as a fine artist and has created paintings and public works that have been shown all over the world. His most successful works have been the word paintings featuring oversized, three-dimensional text painstakingly integrated into vintage landscape reproductions. The message of the paintings is often thought-provoking and almost always humorous, with Wayne pointing a finger at vanity, ego, and his memories of the South. Wayne has also received great praise for several public works he has created recently, including a successful show at Rice University where he built the world's largest George Jones puppet head for a piece called 'Big Lectric Fan To Keep Me Cool While I Sleep.'
In 2009, Wayne's life and career were chronicled in an incredible 382-page monograph, edited by Todd Oldham. The book features hundreds of images from Wayne's earliest work as an illustrator all the way to his most recent fine art sculptures. Since the book's release, Wayne has been traveling the country delivering an incredibly entertaining hour long talk where he discusses his life and work, while making time for a little banjo and harmonica playing.

Investors were cautious for much of the month, likely waiting to see what President Trump would do during his first few weeks in office. After a slow close to December, equities picked up the pace during the early part of January as each of the indexes listed here closed the first full week of the month posting gains of nearly 1.0% or more. The market moved very little for much of the month until January 25, when stocks surged. The Dow reached the magic 20000 for the first time while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reached all-time highs. The stock market rally proved to be short-lived, however, as investors pulled back from stocks and moved to gold and long-term bonds. Nevertheless, each of the indexes listed here posted month-over-month gains, led by the Nasdaq, which closed the first month of 2017 over 4.0% ahead of its 2016 year-end value.
Despite OPEC's agreement to cut production, oil prices have remained in the low $50s per barrel for the month, reaching a high of $54.87 early in January and a low of $51.70 a few days later. But by the close of trading on January 31, the price of crude oil (WTI) was $52.80 per barrel. The national average retail regular gasoline price was $2.296 per gallon on January 30, up from the December 26 selling price of $2.254. The price of gold climbed at the end of January, closing at $1,212.50 on the last day of the month, up from its December 30 price of $1,154.30.
Chart reflects price changes, not total return. Because it does not include dividends or splits, it should not be used to benchmark performance of specific investments.
Last Month's Economic News
Eye on the Month Ahead
The stock market climbed following the presidential election. January saw the Dow reach 20000 for the first time in its history. The FOMC meets during the first week of February, and while indications are that interest rates will be increased throughout the year, it is unlikely that the Fed will raise the federal funds rate at this meeting.
