My Investing Journey- My Experience With Multi-Baggers 1 comments
(P.S: Sorry for any disturbances the advertisements above may have caused you)
Those who have been investing for a few years would have seen their fair share of what Peter Lynch calls "multi-baggers". Stock price fluctuations in the short term tend to be random and subject to market moods but in the long run the intrinsic value of a good business ultimately creates the sustained price momentum that can reap enormous profits for the lucky/patient investor who sits and holds.
I'm sure most investors, if they have been in the market long enough, would have picked up their fair share of stocks which have eventually turned out to be such multi-baggers. Unfortunately, it is also common that many an investor has succumbed to the common adage of "you can't go broke taking a profit", sold out at the first signs of price resistance, and then watched the stock soar past all barriers to a stock Nirvana that punished many times over his initial inability to sit tight. In the same way that a war veteran shows his battle scars, I am proud to say that I have been through this experience several times.
Unisteel was listed in early 2000 at the price of $0.50, a valuation which amounted to about 18X trailing PE (an admittedly high PE, which just gives us a perspective on how bullishness in the tech sector has mellowed since the heady dot-com days). Unisteel was a major precision fastener supplier for the global hard disk drive suppliers, and its profit margins were breathtaking for such a seemingly boring business: >20% consistently for the previous few years. My stock picking strategy in late 2000 had graduated to a perfunctory check on the profit and revenue figures of a company: a consistently rising trend was the requirement; and then I sought other people's opinions on online forums as a corroboration. Those oldbirds on Shareinvestor.com will remember Mossie: he was a highly respected forummer and great insights; Unisteel was one of the stocks he recommended. I was encouraged by his views and bought into the stock progressively from Sep 2000 (yes, dollar cost averaging - I had progressed!), eventually accummulating 15 lots at an average price of about 42 cents by mid-2001. The company had continued its strong performance post-IPO, growing both revenue and profit by ~50% each for FY2000 (which reduced PE to 12X) but the price just did not move, trading within a narrow range of 40-50 cents. On retrospect, it was just a case of the price waiting for profit growth to catch up --- the entire tech sector was re-rating downwards in terms of PE --- but the scintillating growth of Unisteel should have meant something. It didn't ring a bell, I got impatient waiting and sold out my entire line in Aug 2001 at 46 cents (a 10% profit). September 11 came and went, Unisteel went close to 30 cents, but that was the last chance for a bargain. In early 2002 the company unveiled another scintillating set of results (for FY2001) which saw profit grow another 50% on increased operating margins, fund managers started to wise up to the potential of its lucrative if unexciting niche of precision fasteners and the share price showed a clean pair heels as it surged, on the back of continually strong earnings growth, to its current $2 today. Bonus issue-adjusted, I would have had a 6-bagger if I had held on till today. And that duration includes a gloomy 3-year period from 2000-2003 when stocks floundered to bargain valuations.
Or how about HTL? That was another of my inspired picks in March 2002. It was trading at 7X PE and had been growing revenue and profit consistently for the past 3 years. I bought in at 40 cents, then sold off at 49 cents within 2 months for a quick 20% gain. Not bad, unless you consider that within 2.5 years (by mid-2004) it was trading at a bonus-adjusted $1.60 or a 3-bagger on my initial investment if I had held on. Like Unisteel, the company showed ~40-50% profit growth year-on-year, and featured increasing profit margins. Like Unisteel, it became an institutional stock and underwent a PE re-rating from 6-7X to 10-12X, thus providing a double booster to share price over-and-above its earnings growth. Unfortunately I was too ready to convert my paper profit to cash in May 2002. Why? Because I was on a roll in early 2002 (more on that next time) when there was a small-cap rally, and wanted to keep the momentum going by buying and then selling a stock once it reached the 20% capital gain, then ploughing the money into other stocks. Why 20%? Just an arbitrary figure. Amd why the strategy? Frankly, now on retrospect it looks like a "stop gain" strategy (as opposed to stop loss); I was cutting the flowers off and not letting them bloom.
How does one catch a multi-bagger? That is the million-dollar question that nobody has a real answer to. Obviously the first step is to pick the correct stock. However, the more difficult thing to do, from my experience, is to sit tight on it. It is one thing to read about Warren Buffett preach about it, but it is another thing to practise what Warren Buffett preaches. Ultimately, one has to go through the experience himself to understand the full impact of the words. Then he will internalise the experience, and make the full transition to practising what he (not some other person, but he himself) preaches.

Learning Commons
What is a Learning Commons?
A learning commons, formerly known as the school library, is a shared learning space that is both physical and virtual. Like libraries, the learning commons supports a student-centered approach by providing quality resources and flexible space for instruction, social and collaborative learning, production and presentation.
Research shows that students who have access to quality school library services, whatever name it goes by, are more likely to exhibit advanced student achievement and literacy development. Immanuel Christian Elementary School is committed to providing this for our students.
Learning Commons / Library Notes
"Kid, you'll move mountains! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So get on your way!" -Dr. Suess
Welcome to another exciting year in the learning commons! We are looking forward to a great year together!
This year, we will be doing the Accelerated Reader Program again for students in grades 2 – 5. Accelerated Reader is a program that encourages students to read any book of their choice, at their reading level and then do a short comprehension test. This program has proven to be a successful tool in encouraging students to read more and improve their reading skills. They also have the opportunity to win prizes for the number of books read on an individual basis and books read by the entire class!
The following is the ICES learning commons schedule:
Tuesday: Gr. 2B, 2C, 5A & 5B
Wednesday: Gr. KA, 4A, 4B & 1B
Thursday: Gr. KB, 1A, 2A, 3A & 3B
Friday: Gr. 4C
Kindergarten students are allowed to take out 1 book, they must bring it back in 1 week to be able to take out a new book.
Grades 1 & 2 may take out 2 books for 1 week and they must be returned to be able take out new books.
Grade 3 – may take out 3 books and they may now keep their books for 2 weeks.
Grades 4 & 5 – may take out 4 books for 2 weeks.
Once again a book bag is provided to each student. The book bags are orange this year and have the student's name on it. These bags are used to transport the books to and from school. They help to protect the books from damage, backpack spills etc. Please encourage your children to use their bags. If students lose their bag, they can get a new one for 50 cents. If bags are damaged or worn out, it will be replaced for free. If they do not have their bag at the library, they cannot sign out books. Thank you for your support in this matter.
NOTE: Please keep library books in a safe place in their bag at home away from pets and small children. We ask that if a book is damaged due to normal wear and tear that you not repair it at home, but simply return it to the library with a note and we will take care of the repairs. If books are lost, we ask that parents pay the replacement cost.
Looking forward to another great year in the learning commons/library! Please do not hesitate to call or email me if you have any questions or concerns.

Children have a right to an education. This has been written into English law since the Forster Education Act of 1870, which began the process of making education compulsory for children aged between five and 13, and no one in their right mind would oppose that statement.
So when the number of permanent exclusions from schools is on the rise, the reasons behind this should be examined carefully. A child excluded from school is not accessing education, and therefore their rights have been violated. But is it really that simple?
A breakdown of the groups most often excluded does not bring up many surprises. In nearly half the cases, exclusions are for persistent disruption. Sex and drugs, bullying and racism come much further down the line. The types of children excluded are also, alas, not very surprising. Children over 14 make up more than 25 per cent of the number. There are three times more boys than girls excluded, four times more disadvantaged children than non-disadvantaged, and — this is perhaps the most concerning — children with special educational needs are seven times more likely to be excluded than those without.
Conspiracy theorists like to suppose that schools are keen to 'move on' students who are unlikely to make the grades and that this is why such a percentage of excludees (for want of a better word) are older. But how many of those conspiracy theorists actually work in schools? Might it not be the case that the older children are naughtier, more wayward and more aggressive than the younger ones?
I have to admit that when a child with persistent non-attendance, bad behaviour and a lack of interest leaves my class for whatever reason, I cannot help
but heave a sigh of relief. This is for two reasons. The more unworthy one is that with that child out of the class, my results will look better. I can't help it; as teachers we are judged on our results. But the other reason is more honourable. With that child gone, the rest of the class can work better. When I am not constantly struggling with the behaviour of an individual, I can give more time to the children who are struggling with their work.
I'm meant to be 'good with boys'. Often the ones who will not work for other teachers will make a stab at it for me. Why? It's because I sit down beside them, talk to them like human beings and help them understand the work we are doing. All well and good. But while this is going on, what is happening to the other 25 children in the class, who turn up day after day, do their best and still find it hard to analyse a poem? They are staring into space, twiddling their thumbs or looking mournfully at 'Tissue' (a poem on the curriculum that has us all foxed) in the hope that it will by magic spring into sense. The truth is that when the disruptive students are out of a class, results improve not only because of the loss of that one child, but because the other 25 will also do better. Do the 25 not have as much right to an education as the one?
If you Google 'school exclusions', one of the first responses is 'Child Law Advice'. If we take the reason for the majority of exclusions — poor behaviour — you cannot but wonder at the parents whose children behave so badly that they are excluded from school then taking the time to sue the school. Why don't they spend that time impressing on their children the importance of good manners and hard work instead of running off to a solicitor? Because in my view that is where the trouble starts: at home.
The majority of teachers will bend over backwards to keep a child in education. I have been sworn at, had a table thrown at me and narrowly missed a punch swung when I tried to break up a fight. None of those children was excluded, in part because I said I did not want to pursue the incidents. The table--thrower was a disadvantaged, special--educational-needs, free-school-meals boy. He ticked every possible box. When he came home without a detention his mother would reward him with a packet of cigarettes. On the days he was excluded, she would take him shopping. Her attitude (and therefore his) was that teachers were the enemy, out to get her boy. Oh, and why did he throw a table at me? Because I had to physically intervene to stop him from strangling another boy with his tie.
Not all problems, but certainly a huge number, have their roots in the home. It beggars belief the number of times I have rung a pupil's home and the mother just backs the child up. 'No, I can't get him to do his homework — it makes the atmosphere at home too difficult.' 'No, I'm not going to talk to him about his behaviour — that's your job.' The abrogation of responsibility is extraordinary.
The school I work at is implementing a new policy called Ready to Learn. There are ten simple rules which the children are expected to follow: rules as clear cut as turning up on time, working silently when asked, and not shouting out. If they breach one rule, their name goes on a board. If they breach another, they are sent to isolation for five lessons and an after-school detention.
It has had the most extraordinary effect on our school life. Not only the teachers, but the children, have noticed how much easier our lives have become. Even the ones who caused trouble last year say it is easier, because it is consistent and they know what is expected. Add to that the fact that our GCSE mock results were way up on last year's, and it is clear that a stricter system works. They are children and they need rules. Children will test the boundaries, but they have to know the boundaries are there.
The system has, however, caused a rise in fixed-term (one- or two-day) exclusions. If you up the ante on behaviour, you have to take it all the way. For this reason, a child who visits isolation too often is sent home for a day. These exclusions are not counted in government figures.
Do we send them home so that we can have quieter classrooms? No. We send them home so that they and (perhaps more importantly their parents) will understand that we mean business.
The other reason that we send them home is so that the other children, many of whom are also dis-advantaged, have special needs and are boys, can have a fair crack at their GCSEs. They, too, have the right to an education, and we will do our damnedest to make sure they get it.

Landscaping makes your yard look great by taking advantage of design theory to place elements correctly. It should also adapt to its necessary use, giving ample space for the needs of the homeowner. You may think that this is a lot to think about; however, if you follow the tips presented here, you will surely be able to create a workable plan.
There are many things to learn before beginning a landscape project. For example, you will need to know which plants work best in your climate and location. Be conscious of how the seasons will affect your landscaping. It is very important that you know this information in order to get the best results from your landscaping experience.
It is very had to do landscaping for your entire yard at one time. Dividing your overall project into phases will make it much easier on both you and your budget. By doing your landscape in phases you will also be able to make any necessary changes along the way.
Choose quality over price. Lower quality offerings may be more plentiful but good quality products are worth the investment of time and money. Go to a specialty store to get quality products and useful advice from qualified workers. Paying extra money will be worth it due to the fact that you'll get better products as well as great advice.
Many people think landscaping projects need to be completed by a professional, but that isn't true. Using a professional landscaper can be quite expensive. However, it can never hurt to speak with landscaper who can set you in the right direction as far as what you should do.
Considering all of the factors of landscaping, like function, as well as good looks, is something you must do when planning a project. You need to stick to the budget you created, while transforming the yard into what you want it to look like. Apply the tips you've just read to help you do this. Use the information you have learned, and you are sure to be amazed by the results.

Gas hydrates are ice-like systems made of a network of hydrogen-bonded water molecules (forming host cages) that is stabilized by the presence of foreign guest molecules [1]. The natural existence of large quantities of hydrocarbon hydrates in deep oceans and permafrost is certainly at the origin of numerous applications in areas such as energy, geophysics sciences and innovative technologies [2]. Their hypothetical occurrence in extraterrestrial objects (planets, comets and planetesimal) is also the subject of numerous researches in astrophysics [3]. At a fundamental level, their nanostructuration confers on these materials specific properties (e.g. molecular selectivity, transport properties) for which the host-guest interactions play a key role [4,5]. These interactions occur on a broad timescale and thus require the use of a multi-technique approach (Neutron scattering, Raman, NMR, Classical and ab-initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations). The presentation will review recent results obtained on the physical chemistry of clathrate hydrates towards two main issues - for which neutron scattering brings significant contributions: gas selectivity and structural metastability on one hand, and super-protonic conduction on the other hand.
Recent theoretical works suggest that the nitrogen depletion observed on the Jupiter family comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko might be due to preferential encapsulation of carbon monoxide with respect to nitrogen inside mixed gas hydrate [6]. The presentation will report the first experimental investigations of such a preferential trapping, together with unusual structural metastability, as revealed by means of Raman scattering, Neutron diffraction and Quantum Mechanics calculations in various mixed gas (CO, CO2, N2) hydrates [7-13].
In addition to gaseous species, clathrate hydrates may encapsulate strong acids. Such supramolecular assembly leads to generate super-protonic conductors (i.e. with protonic conduction of the order of 0.1S/cm) [14]. Quasi-elastic neutron scattering is a unique technique for disentangling the proton transport mechanism involved in such ice-like systems [15,16]. This issue will be reviewed by outlining the contributions of Neutron scattering together with complementary techniques such as ab-initio Molecular Dynamics, Raman imaging or pulsed-field gradient proton NMR. Moreover, new opportunities in the area of energy (electrochemical energy production [17] and hydrogen storage [18-20]) are offered thanks to the strong acidic character of clathrate hydrates. These points will be outlined.

It's a small world. It's a small car. Seems to be a perfect combination.
Chances are slim that you would see an Insight at a gas station, what with its 1250 km range on a mere 10.6 U.S. gallon fuel tank. In fact, chances are slim you would even see an Insight at all, considering there are less than 400 in Canada. But can you imagine seeing two Insights? Side by side? And, at a gas station no less?
While filling up for the 2nd time in as many months, I was approached by a man who was being eerily silent. "Oh no!" I thought. "What does this guy want?"
The silent dude nodded his head in a westward direction. I couldn't dig what he was communicating. He nodded again, smiling. Now, my clueless brain was thinking, "what the heck is this guy doing? Distracting me while he robs me? Distracting me while he slips a wad of hundreds into my pocket? Distracting me while he sucks my soul out through my nostrils? WHAT?"
He realized I was not catching his drift, and he added a little thumby-thumby action to his nod. I finally looked over and saw his silverstone metallic Insight parked in front of our car. My jaw dropped.
This was our first face-to-face encounter with another Insight owner, and it was bizarre. He told us he was passing by when he saw us filling up. He too, was shocked, and said he just had to pull in and talk to us.
And that's exactly what we did. And, boy were we surprised. Turns out that this mysterious stranger, an environmentally friendly dude who thought it was so cool to see another Insight that he just had to stop, knows, and has jammed with, one of Suz's best friends: Dave Gould.
I hate clichés, but that's all I could of think of: What a small, small world. I wonder if they would play it for me.

Metre (or meter), symbol m, is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Originally intended to be one ten-millionth of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North Pole, its definition of has been periodically refined to reflect growing knowledge of metrology. Since 1983, it is defined as the distance travelled by light in a complete vacuum in 1⁄299,792,458 of a second.

DNV GL: Transparent Aluminum Isn't Science Fiction
In the 1986 movie Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home, Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott went back in time, along with the rest of the Enterprise crew to capture a pair of humpback whales in order to save humanity from an alien space probe. To do so, Scott offered the formula for "transparent aluminum" in exchange for the huge plates of plexiglas needed to contain the whales on board … [Read more...]
This Tilting Lock Could Solve Traffic Problems Caused By Movable Bridges
A Dutch engineering firm has come up with a unique solution that it believes could be the answer to road and waterway traffic congestion caused by the raising or opening of low movable bridges so that tall vessels can pass below.

No shots heard today although hunters cars were parked nearby.
At the Bear Center, we saw weights for three of the bears: Ted (628), Lucky (495), Holly (297)—all up 4-8 pounds from 9-10 days ago. Tasha was a pound heavier than Holly back then and probably still is. Lucky is about 44 pounds heavier than he was at this time last year—probably still growing at the age of 11. In the wild, males taper off in growth at about 12.
Thank you for all you do.

A couple from Auburn, Massachusetts reached out to us regarding water seeping into their basement when the snow began melting this spring. We installed a triplesafe sump pump system in their basement in order to pump any future water out in a timely fashion, without allowing it to collect.
An out of state homeowner is looking to sell her house. With no basement problems before, she found out that during an open house there was water in the basement. She called us here at Leader Foundation Solutions in a panic, and with an emergency visit we were at the home ready to help! Getting rid of the water that was in her basement we were on a 3 day project to install a Triple Safe Pump. With the customer being satisfied with the work, the house can now be sold with no problem!
A previous customer of Leader Foundation Solutions called us with a problem. He had water going into the apartment downstairs, and he had never experienced the problem before. He wanted to find out why, and solve the problem. He called the right place, AGAIN! We installed a Triplesafe sump pump system for him, and no more water has entered since!
A customer had been having trouble with water accumulation in their basement for over 12 years, and finally decided they needed to seek professional help. The water had been seeping from the floor and the walls.
Our team went in, and they decided a triplesafe sump pump, would be what best fit the needs of the homeowner.
Our customer here in Worcester contacted us with water coming in the basement near a pipe. Unfortunately the house has had issues with water in the basement ever since it was build. The basement also has issues with humidity. We came in and installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, LawnScape and an Everlast Access Well.
Here you can see the basement before and after the sump has been installed.

A case using federal benefits law to challenge a 7% drop in IBM stock price will go before the U.S. Supreme Court Nov. 6, giving the justices their third opportunity in five years to consider 401(k) plans that allow workers to invest in their company's stock.
The dispute over
The Supreme Court first considered these questions in 2014's Fifth Third Bancorp v. Dudenhoeffer, which fleshed out what plaintiffs must include in their complaints to maintain one of these lawsuits. After Dudenhoeffer and the 2016 follow-up decision in Harris v. Amgen Inc., courts have almost universally dismissed these lawsuits, ruling for defendants in cases involving RadioShack, Lehman Brothers, Citigroup, Whole Foods, JPMorgan, BP Plc, and others.
The Second Circuit made a surprising break with this line of cases in 2018, when it partly revived the IBM lawsuit. The case may now give the Supreme Court a chance to reaffirm the high pleading standard facing employees who hold declining company stock in their 401(k) accounts, attorneys told Bloomberg Law. It's also likely to drive the outcome of pending cases involving Target Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., Allergan PLC, Boeing Co., and others.
Time For a Correction?
The Supreme Court may have taken the IBM case to correct a problem with the Second Circuit's interpretation of Dudenhoeffer, Amanda S. Amert, a Chicago-based litigator and chair of Jenner & Block's ERISA litigation practice, told Bloomberg Law.
The last time a federal appeals court ruled in favor of a 401(k) plan participant challenging a drop in employer stock price, the Supreme Court reversed the decision without hearing arguments. In Amgen—decided just a year and a half after the 2014 Dudenhoeffer decision—the Supreme Court said the Ninth Circuit "did not correctly apply" Dudenhoeffer.
The IBM case may meet a similar fate.
"I think it's pretty clear that the court took Amgen because it took issue with the interpretation of Dudenhoeffer that the Ninth Circuit was offering," Amert said. "You could reasonably infer that the court is doing something similar here."
Amert said it was "notable" that the Second Circuit's IBM ruling was one of the few post-Amgen decisions allowing a plaintiff to proceed past the motion to dismiss stage.
Todd M. Schneider, a plaintiff-side litigator and founding partner of Schneider Wallace Cottrell Konecky Wotkyns LLP, said the Supreme Court may ultimately use a different legal standard than the one used by the Second Circuit. But that doesn't necessarily mean the plaintiffs will lose, he said.
"I could see this case going either way, because I don't think the plaintiffs are overreaching here," Schneider said.
Schneider called the plan participants' main argument—that the IBM insiders should have more promptly disclosed the company's struggles—a "very measured request."
The Supreme Court also may be interested in resolving the circuit split created when the Second Circuit broke from rulings by the Fifth and Sixth circuits, Chris K. Meyer, a class action and ERISA-focused litigation partner in Sidley Austin's Chicago office, told Bloomberg Law.
The IBM plan participants dispute the existence of a split.
Watch the Feds
The IBM arguments will give the justices a chance to hear from three groups: the plan participants, the IBM defendants, and the federal government, which was granted 10 minutes to present its views on the case.
The government is expected to argue that ERISA doesn't require corporate insiders to make public disclosures beyond what's required under federal securities laws, as it argued in a recent brief. This argument stems from Dudenhoeffer's requirement that plan participants challenging a stock drop must identify an alternative action that plan fiduciaries could have taken instead of continuing to hold the disputed stock. The IBM participants have argued that publicly disclosing the company's struggles would have been an appropriate alternative to continuing to hold IBM stock.
"The fact that they gave the government some time to argue suggests some justices may be interested in that position," Meyer said.
Amert expressed some doubt that the high court would be persuaded by the government's position.
"That rule was available to the court in Dudenhoeffer too and it didn't adopt it," Amert said. "They chose not to do it for some other reason. ERISA and the securities laws are not identical and they serve different purposes."
Two New Justices
Both Dudenhoeffer and Amgen were unanimous rulings. But both were decided before the court's newest justices, Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh, took the bench.
Neither Kavanaugh nor Gorsuch authored a significant decision in an ERISA stock-drop case during their time as appeals court judges.
"I haven't seen anything that would suggest that either of the new justices would be skeptical of the court's previous opinion in Dudenhoeffer," Meyer said. "I haven't seen anything either way."
Justice Stephen G. Breyer may be one to watch during oral arguments, Meyer said, because he both authored the Dudenhoeffer decision and actively questioned the lawyers arguing that case.
Big Names Waiting on SCOTUS
The Supreme Court's eventual ruling in the case will likely drive the outcome of ongoing cases involving several large companies.
Employees of Wells Fargo, Target, and Allergan all filed ERISA lawsuits over drops in stock price, and each case was dismissed under Dudenhoeffer.
The Target and Wells Fargo employees appealed to the Eighth Circuit, which decided to delay consideration until the Supreme Court resolves the IBM case. The Third Circuit made a similar announcement in the Allergan case, as did a federal judge in Chicago in a case against Boeing.
The Ninth Circuit is weighing a stock-drop challenge involving Edison International's 401(k) plan. That case, which hasn't been paused, is set for argument Dec. 13.
Similar lawsuits involving the 401(k) plans of Kraft Heinz Co. and Johnson & Johnson are pending at the district court level.

Soil and Plant Recovery of Labeled Fertilizer Nitrogen in Irrigated Cotton
Issue Date2001
MetadataShow full item record
AbstractProper timing of fertilizer N applications in relation to crop uptake can serve to improve fertilizer efficiency in irrigated cotton. Earlier research has identified an optimum application window extending from the formation of first pinhead squares to peak bloom, which corresponds well with maximum crop uptake and utilization. Field experiments were conducted at the University of Arizona Marana Agricultural Center (Grabe clay loam soil) utilizing sidedress applications of ammonium sulfate with 5-atom % 15-N at pinhead square, early bloom, and peak bloom at a rate of 56 kg N/ha. The objective was to compare relative efficiencies in terms of fertilizer N uptake and recovery among these three times of application. Results indicate that all treatments averaged approximately 80% total fertilizer N recovery. Of the fertilizer N that was recovered, approximately 40 % was taken up by the plants and 60 % recovered in the soil, primarily in the top 60 cm of the soil profile.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a hearing before the Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism of the House Judiciary Committee that lasted nearly three hours on Monday, neither Sally Q. Yates, the former Attorney General of the United States, nor James R. Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, could produce any evidence Gen. James Flynn, former National Security Advisor to President Trump, had violated any law in his discussions with the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
In questioning that was at times highly political, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), ended the hearing by entering into the record a McClatchy Washington Bureau newspaper article dated March 20, 2017, that reported the FBI's Russian influence probe was investigating news sites Breitbart and Infowars, offering no proof that the McClatchy new report was true.
To date, Infowars has received no inquiry from the FBI regarding an investigation into collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Under questioning from subcommittee chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham, Yates testified she did not know how information about General Michael Flynn's conversations with the Russians got leaked to the Washington Post.
Yates refused to answer whether there was a FISA warrant authorizing electronic surveillance of either Kislyak or Flynn, nor would she answer whether Flynn was picked as a collateral person of interest simply because he talked with the Russian ambassador, who may have been the initial target of the Justice Department investigation.
Nor would Yates answer repeated questions regarding who in the Department of Justice authorized the "unmasking" of Flynn, identifying him by name in the electronic surveillance that involved the Russian ambassador, even though she admitted there should be a record within the Obama administration indicating precisely the identity of the person or persons with the Obama administration who requested and authorized the information about Gen. Flynn be "unmasked."
By "unmasking" the information, Flynn – an American citizen – was identified by name in intelligence reports as he was picked up in the electronic surveillance of the Russian ambassador being conducted by the Obama administration, supposedly under a FISA-court order.
Under oath, Yates testified she did not know how the classified information about Gen. Flynn got passed to the newspapers so soon after she explained it to the White House counsel.
She also testified that she never served as an anonymous source or authorized anyone to act as an anonymous source to leak information about Donald Trump to the press.
Under persistent questioning from Sen. John Kennedy, (R-La.), Yates admitted she wrote the memo that got her fired by President Trump, in which she instructed Department of Justice lawyers not to defend in court President Trump's initial travel ban executive order, because she felt the executive order constituted an unconstitutional attack on religious liberty.
"Who appointed you to the U.S. Supreme Court?" Kennedy asked, ending a line of questioning in which he accused Yates of exercising her personal political prejudices supporting Obama-era immigration policies that had open U.S. borders to Muslims fleeing the Middle East as refugees.
While there seemed to be a consensus among Democrats and Republicans on the subcommittee that Russia had intervened into the 2016 presidential election to benefit Donald Trump, the hearing neglected to investigate evidence Russia may have preferred Clinton had won, given the potential to blackmail the Democrats over lucrative business deals concluded with Russia while Clinton was Secretary of State.
Infowars.com has reported the Clinton Foundation was rewarded by Russia for then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's decision to award to Russia some 20 percent of U.S. uranium production, or that Clinton's 2016 campaign chairman, John Podesta, had been paid by Russia for his participation in the technology transfer to Russia under Sec. Clinton's "reset" policy, receiving stock from Russia through a shell company in the Netherlands that Russia created to facilitate money laundering.
Also, missing from the hearing was questioning over historical evidence the Russians had intervened in previous presidential elections to assist Democratic Party presidential candidates.
In 1968, Anatoly Dobrynin, then Russia's ambassador to the United States, was ordered by Moscow to offer Richard Nixon's Democratic Party rival, Hubert H. Humphrey, Jr., "any conceivable help in his election campaign – including financial aid."
In 1984, Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy asked then-Russian Premier Yuri Andropov to intervene in the U.S. presidential election to help defeat Ronald Reagan.

After contradicting his own officials multiple times, it seems that President Donald Trump is truly considering a plan to send migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border to sanctuary cities. In traditional fashion, the President presented the plan on Twitter on April 13, two days after the Washington Post reviewed emails saying as much, claiming that his administration would "have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities." Also predictably, he has presented the plan as a form of punishment for the liberal cities, despite the local mayors and activists who are happy to welcome additional migrants — the very people, they say, who make their community better.
"It sounds like he thinks that we should react in fear of immigrants coming to our city and actually I think the immigrants in our city are a strength," Marc McGovern, the mayor of Cambridge, Massachusetts, told MTV News. A city with a current population of more than 100,000 people, Cambridge is one of multiple sanctuary cities in the state. "So I'm not quite sure why he thinks we should be scared of this."
According to McGovern, there are a few main issues with the president's tweet: It's more of a political strategy than an actual policy, it's being framed as a threat when in reality, migrants should be seen as a welcome addition to any community, and it further exacerbates the misunderstanding of what a sanctuary city is.
A sanctuary city is a city whose laws protect undocumented immigrants from deportation or prosecution in certain situations, according to Vox. For instance, McGovern explains, if an undocumented immigrant wants to report a crime or is pulled over for speeding, their immigration status is not brought into question. However, if anyone is arrested for a crime, their immigration status will be checked; in that instance, undocumented people would be turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, even in a sanctuary city.
Trump's tweet called for "placing illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities only," but sanctuary cities don't have anything forcing people to stay within their city limits. According to the Washington Post, once immigrants enter the country, they tend to travel to nearly every corner and city, no matter where they originally settled: They head towards family, or towards work, or move for a myriad of other reasons.
"It doesn't even make sense," McGovern said, exhausted. "So he's going to round up who? And send them to our city, and then what? … I mean what does he think? They're going to come to Cambridge and we're just going to wall them all in? No. They're going to come to Cambridge and some will stay and some will go to Sommerville and some will go to Boston."
This makes it painfully obvious that the stance – and potential policy – that Trump is outlining in his tweets is more of a political strategy to reinforce his dangerous rhetoric about immigrants than an actual policy that could realistically go into effect.
"It's hard, often, to discern a policy from a tweet. It's a nonsense thing to have said," the executive director of Immigration Equality, Aaron C. Morris, told MTV News, adding that, in theory, the administration could move immigrants into major progressive cities, but the details are far from clear. "Does that mean that [the president] would just sort of open a bus door in the middle of Times Square? I don't know. It seems unlikely to me."
Unfortunately, because of how it incites his base, Trump othering immigrants is nothing new. He's described people who cross the Southern border as dangerous gang members and animals, a form of dehumanizing discourse that experts warn could lead the way to genocidal thinking. "They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists," Trump said in his 2015 presidential announcement speech, adding, "and some, I assume, are good people." Undocumented immigrants are considerably less likely to commit crime than native-born citizens, according to the CATO Institute, and many of the people making the arduous trek north to flee persecution, human rights violations, armed conflicts, or other crises or violence, according to Amnesty International.
"Unfortunately, the president's plan demonstrates the utter contempt that he and his Administration has for basic human dignity and the core values on which this nation was founded," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney told MTV News in an email interview. "I am offended – but frankly, not surprised, as this president has demonstrated time and again his desire to flout the rule of law to appease his political base – as he does today in proudly tweeting about the idea. To use people as tools for political retribution, without an iota of concern for their health and well being, is disgraceful."
Overall, sanctuary cities are proud of the additions immigrants make to their cities – and if Trump's tweet did somehow become a policy, migrant people would likely be placed in communities that would welcome them, surrounded by people who are helping them succeed in their new homes. That's a vast improvement upon the current detention, which advocacy groups have decried for their inhumane practices. And, sure, studies have proven how immigration helps bolster an economy — but the people MTV News spoke with view the work they do as the benefit in and of itself, regardless of material outcome.
"Accepting refugees is not a burden," Morris said. "It's a privilege."

This lengthy stretch of powdery sand sits right alongside Cabo's major hotel strip. The popular public beach is great for families, sandcastles and volleyball. Beach umbrellas are available to rent and ice cold beers are on offer throughout the day. A favorite with both joggers and surf fishers, this is not a beach for swimming. Very high waves are common and the currents in the area are notoriously unpredictable.
Playa Hotelera, El Medano Ejidal, Zona Hotelera, Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico
The Playa del Amor (Love Beach) boasts a stretch of unblemished sand and some impressive rock formations. The beach offers a breathtaking view, with its turquoise water punctuated by looming rock structures such as Pelican Rock and Neptune's Finger.
The beach faces the Sea of Cortez, which was famously called "the world's aquarium," by French explorer Jacques Cousteau. The area surrounding the beach is teeming with marine life and is popular with scuba divers. Surrounded by the calm waters of the Sea of Cortez, swimming and snorkeling are both possible in the area.
Connected to Lover's Beach, but facing the extremely choppy waters of the Pacific Ocean, Playa del Divorcio (Divorce Beach) is extremely dangerous for swimmers, so don't risk it. However, the beach is highly recommended for its sunsets, which are truly spectacular.
Also located on Cabo's Pacific side, Playa Solmar is known for its majestic golden stretch of sand. Strong, unpredictable currents mean swimming is not an option. Playa Solmar is semi-private as access is granted via the Solmar Suites Hotel and vendors are not allowed in the area. Although this is in some ways less convenient, it also makes Playa Solmar a great option for tourists looking to escape the crowds on the Playa Hotelera during the peak season.
Bring your own lunch and dedicate yourself to the serious business of soaking up the rays.
Playa Solmar, Solmar No 1, Col Centro, Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Without doubt Cabo's most famous beach – and the safest for swimming – Playa Medano is blessed with calm, clear water and stunning views. The beach has designated swimming areas and backs on to a broad selection of hotels, bars and restaurants. Medano (which means "The Dune") looks out onto the Land's End rock formations and famous Arch. The gentle surf makes this beach perfect for water sports – boogie boards, kayaks and jet skis are all available to rent.

Main Article Content
This research aimed to study severe depression and high suicidal risk among Thai police officers. Method of data collection was done through a self-screening questionnaire for depression 9Q and self-screening questionnaire for suicide 8Q. The participants were 112,989 Thai police officers who had received an annual health check with the Police General hospital from January to September 2018. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics; percentage, frequency and odds ratio was used to analyze the relationship of factors at 95% confidence intervals.
This study showed that Thai police officers that participated in this research study had severe depressive symptoms only .07% and severe suicidal risk .05%. The most influencing factor for severe depression are their work problems, including excessive workload, difficult job and not capable with people, personal life problems, and family problems. Factors that affect high suicidal risk are social and family problems. From this study, it can be used for planning to promote mental health and prevent depression and suicide among Thai police officers and make policy recommendations to the Royal Thai Police Headquarters.

Bass Pro Shop in Rocklin, CA
Last weekend we visited the Bass Pro Shop off Highway 80 in Rocklin, California. We see the shop all the time from the freeway but had never been inside. It is like a Disneyland of outdoor sporting goods. Amazing displays. They are also generally pet-friendly.

|Notes & Reviews
Vangelis entered the '90s with this fairly low-key album of electronic interludes and sparkling, poetic vignettes in honor of a city. He uses an enormous array of digital and high-tech sounds to describe his metropolis, suggesting that such a city yet resides only in the future.'Dawn' is a simply lovely paean to the opening light of the day. Light strings and melancholic trumpets rise over a skyline painted ambient shades of orange and ecru. 'Side Streets' begins with humming sequencers and sad violin stabs as car motors awaken. Voices litter the sidewalk, as flutes pipe in the oncoming day. 'Nerve Center' finally introduces engaging rhythms and lurching guitars into Vangelis' mix, portraying a teeming environment of bodies-stressed laborers huddled over their desktops, banging on surfaces with copper tubes. While not as in your face as DIRECT, THE CITY is involving all the same. [Note: This product is an authorized, licensed CD-R and is manufactured on demand]

Thanksgiving Thursday, I took advantage of some sales a local store was having. I picked up the new Celine Dion CD for $10, but that's irrelevant. They also had several Mill Creek 20 movie packs on sale for $5. (Whilst their regular price is $7.99 - about $2.50 more than the ones you'll find in Wal Mart's $5.50 bin, but Wal Mart's 35 miles away, so what are ya gonna do?) I picked up the Musicals 20 Movie Pack. I actually watched one of them this morning - Glorifying The American Girl. Interesting little film from the infancy of sound on film. I hear UCLA recently did a restoration restoring the two-strip Technicolor scenes and all the censorship edits, such as some *gasp* nudity. I'd love to see that, especially since this print was pretty nasty. But it was watchable and fairly enjoyable. A bit stagy, but most early sound films are. There were actually two or three films in the set that I was very much impressed with how great the transfers were, but at the moment, I couldn't tell you which ones. I've previewed all the titles, though, and they're all at least watchable.
Today, I was at a store called Mighty Dollar, and among several DVDs, they had the Mill Creek Detectives 10 Movie Pack. Well, a Mill Creek set for $1? You bet I snatched it right up. Having just previewed it, I have to say I'm blown away. This set offers some of the best transfers I've ever seen on budget DVDs of public domain fare. The Dick Tracy and Sherlock Holmes movies, save for the last one in the set (Can't currently remember the title.) are all near the quality of an official studio-released DVD.
I also picked up The World Of Hans Christian Andersen from Digivew and a double "cult classics" feature from Intercontinental featuring D.O.A. and Hell's House. I already had The World Of Hans Christian Andersen on a PC Treasures disc with The Pied Piper Of Hamlin...that's actually the reason I bought that disc, since I have The Pied Piper on DVD from Brentwood already. However, in the time I've been buying $1 DVDs, that may be the one time I've gotten one that was nearly unwatchable due to poor quality. It was obviously taken from a VHS that had been dubbed at least 5 times over in SP mode, with some considerable tape damage in some parts. Digiview's isn't much better, but it's definitely an improvement. As for D.O.A./Hell's House, the video and audio quality on both is quite good for public domain fare. However, this DVD had a price tag on it from Tower Records, where it sold for $4.99, so chances are they may have had access to better source materials. D.O.A. is the better of the transfers. Again, close to legit studio-released DVD quality.
I also bought a CD/DVD set from Starlight Records called The Humphrey Bogart Era. The CD contains popular 40's songs in listenable sound quality intro'd and outro'd with clips of Bogey speaking. The DVD contains the film Beat The Devil and the complete episode of The Jack Benny Show in which he appeared. The transfer of Beat The Devil is very nice. Not quite that of a legit studio-released DVD, but better than most. Wish I could say the same about The Jack Benny Show. The contrast and brightness are turned up so much on this, it's absolutely unwatchable. First $1 DVD purchase I've ever made that has something where the quality is so crappy that it's actually unwatchable. But for the music and the decent transfer of Beat The Devil, it's absolutely worth it.

Legislative Issues of interest to nurses
NAHN - May 2018
SB18-022 - Clinical Practice for Opioid Prescribing - On Monday, May 21, 2018, Governor John Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 18-22 Clinical Practice for Opioid Prescribing. The bill went into effect immediately upon the Governor's signature. This new state law limits the number of opioid pills a healthcare provider can prescribe and affects physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice registered nurses with prescriptive authority, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, and veterinarians.
Under the new law, a prescriber must limit a patient's initial prescription of an opioid to a seven-day supply, if the prescriber has not written an opioid prescription for the patient in the last 12 months. The prescriber may exercise discretion in including a second fill for a seven-day supply. These limits do not apply, if, in the judgment of the prescriber, the patient:
After the first prescription, the prescriber is required to check the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) database before prescribing any additional opioids for the same patient. Failure to check the PDMP constitutes unprofessional conduct if the prescriber repeatedly fails to comply with this new PDMP requirement. The second fill requirement to check the PDMP does not apply when a patient:
In addition, the bill requires the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to report on the PDMP integration of health systems and the results and effects of the prescriber report cards.
HB 1086 - Enhanced Nurse Compact was passed in January 2018 and has been signed by the Governor. This allows CO nurses to be part of a compact that allows them to practice in other states within the compact. Nurses licensed in CO after June 21, 2017 must pass a background check (including fingerprints).HB 1086- Community College Bachelor Science Degree Nursing - Concerning allowing community colleges to offer a bachelor of science degree in nursing. The bill allows, with board approval, a community college that is part of the state system of community and technical colleges (community college) to offer a bachelor of science degree in nursing as a completion degree (nursing degree). In considering a request from a community college to offer a nursing degree, the board shall consider student and workforce demand, cost effectiveness for students, and accreditation and licensing requirements. At least 90 days prior to requesting board approval to offer a nursing degree, a community college shall provide notice of its request to all state institutions of higher education. A reporting requirement is added providing that each state-supported institution of higher education that offers a nursing degree provide the department of higher education with an annual report concerning its nursing degree program.
HB18-1091 - Dementia Diseases And Related Disabilities - The bill updates statutory references to Alzheimer's and other dementia diseases and reflects that dementia diseases have related disabilities impacting memory and other cognitive abilities. Missing persons with a dementia disease and related disability are added to the missing senior citizen and missing person with developmental disabilities alert program, and the program is renamed to reflect this change. The Alzheimer's disease treatment and research center within the university of Colorado school of medicine is renamed the dementia diseases and related disabilities treatment and research center.
HB18-1104 - Family Preservation For Parents With Disability - The bill establishes that family protection safeguards for a parent or prospective parent with a disability are critical to family preservation and the best interests of the children of Colorado. These safeguards include: That a parent's disability must not serve as a basis for denial or restriction of parenting time or parental responsibilities in a domestic law proceeding pursuant to title 14, without a clear nexus to the parent's ability to meet the needs of the child; in a minor guardianship proceeding pursuant to title 15, without a clear nexus to the parent's ability to meet the needs of the child; or a dependency and neglect proceeding pursuant to title 19, except when it impact the health or welfare of the child; That a parent's disability must not serve as a basis for denial of participation in a public or private adoption, or for denial of foster care or guardianship, when it is otherwise determined to be in the best interest of the child; and That the benefits of providing supportive parenting services must be considered by a court when determining parental responsibilities, parenting time, adoption placements, foster care, and guardianship, and the court may require that such supportive parenting services be provided or implemented, given the resources of the family.
HB18-1112 -Pharmacist Health Care Services Coverage - The bill requires a health benefit plan to provide coverage for health care services provided by a pharmacist if: The services are provided within a health professional shortage area; and The health benefit plan provides coverage for the same services provided by a licensed physician or advanced practice nurse.
HB18-1148 - Stage Four Advanced Metastatic Cancer Step Therapy - The bill prohibits a carrier that issues a health benefit plan that covers treatment for stage four advanced metastatic cancer from requiring a cancer patient to undergo step therapy prior to receiving a drug approved by the United States food and drug administration if use of the approved drug is consistent with best practices for treatment of the cancer and as long as the drug is on the carrier's prescription drug formulary.
HB18-1196 - Applications For Aid To The Needy Disabled Program - Under current law, in order to receive assistance under the aid to the needy disabled program, an applicant must be examined by a physician, physician assistant, advanced practice nurse, or registered nurse. The bill adds to the list of persons authorized to perform an examination a licensed psychologist, or any other licensed or certified health care personnel the department of human services deems appropriate. Any person who performs an examination is required to certify the diagnosis, prognosis, and other relevant medical or mental factors relating to the applicant's disability.
SB18-149 - Records Of Denver Health And Hospital Authority - Currently, all records of the Denver health and hospital authority (authority) are subject to the open records law. The bill specifies that certain reports, statements, agreements, bonds, guidelines, manuals, handbooks, and accounts of the authority are public records. The bill also specifies that the content of an electronic medical record system and individual medical records or medical information are not public records, and that certain writings and other records concerning the modification, initiation, or cessation of patient care and authority health care programs or initiatives are not public records under certain circumstances.
HB18-1286 -School Nurse Give Medical Marijuana At School - Concerning allowing a school nurse to give medical marijuana to a student with a medical marijuana registry card while at school.
HB18-1313 - Pharmacists To Serve As Practitioners - The bill clarifies that a licensed and qualified pharmacist may serve as a practitioner and prescribe over-the-counter medication under the 'Colorado Medical Assistance Act' and a statewide drug therapy protocol pursuant to a collaborative pharmacy practice agreement.
HB18-1094 - Children And Youth Mental Health Treatment Act - The bill extends indefinitely the 'Child Mental Health Treatment Act' and renames it the 'Children and Youth Mental Health Treatment Act' (act). Significant changes to the act include: Continuing the ability of a parent or guardian of a non-medicaid eligible child or youth to receive mental health services for the child or youth without unwarranted child welfare involvement; When evaluating a child or youth for eligibility for mental health treatment services (services), the evaluating mental health agency shall use a standardized risk stratification tool; Establishing a new definition of 'mental health agency' to capture a larger set of behavioral health services providers; Reporting requirements for the department of health care policy and financing and mental health agencies that provide services for children and youth are updated and clarified; Requiring the department of human services to maintain and update a list of providers on its website, as well as post information from various reports required by the act, excluding any personal health information; and Revising the membership of the advisory board that assists and advises the executive director of the department of human services with the development of service standards and rules for the provision of services.
HB18-1177 - Youth Suicide Prevention - The bill requires the office of suicide prevention (office) in the department of public health and environment (department) to work with appropriate entities to develop and implement a plan to provide access to training programs related to youth suicide prevention for people who regularly interact with youth but who are not in a profession that typically provides such training opportunities, such as camp counselors, recreation center employees, youth group leaders, clergy, and parents. The office is required to approve at least 3 nonprofit organizations statewide to participate in a coordinated program of youth suicide prevention training. Classes and programs offered by the approved nonprofit organizations must be free to the public, and the department shall reimburse the approved nonprofit organization for any direct or indirect costs associated with such classes and programs. The bill further directs the department to coordinate efforts to create and implement a statewide awareness campaign about suicide and youth suicide prevention, as well as awareness of the suicide prevention hotline. The awareness campaign may include, but is not limited to, the use of written, electronic, radio, and television media. The age of consent for a minor to seek and obtain outpatient psychotherapy services is lowered from 15 years of age or older to 12 years of age and older. The licensed mental health provider is immune from civil or criminal liability for providing outpatient psychotherapy services unless he or she acts negligently or outside the scope of his or her practice. The bill clarifies that the age of consent for a minor seeking inpatient psychotherapy or other inpatient mental health services without the consent of a parent or legal guardian remains 15 years of age or older.
