09.08.27 - Obamacare Called 'Euthanasia Bill' Critic: 'Reflects Regime Worse than China's One-Child Policy'
|Share with others:
The Democrats' proposed national health insurance plan would dictate medications, treatments and mental health services; determine coverages individuals are allowed to have; and operate with real-time access to personal bank accounts, according to a new analysis.
And it's worse, a critic said, than China's mandatory one-child policy.
"In the same way that the bill pushes elderly or the sick toward euthanasia, it is a pill that would cause economic suicide," said Mathew Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel. "It's a euthanasia bill for America."
Congress members have admitted they have not read the more-than-1,000-page bill, and Staver's organization is one of the first to go through it and offer an analysis.
In the Liberty Counsel analysis, Staver notes that under Section 163, the government would be allowed to have real-time access to individuals' finances, including direct access to bank accounts for electronic funds transfers.
Under Section 1308, the analysis finds, the government will dictate marriage and family therapy as well as mental health services, including the definitions of those treatments.
Will the elites control life itself? 'The Emerging Brave New World' documents the battle against the sanctity of life ethic
Under Section 1401, a Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research would be set up, creating a bureaucracy through which federal employees could determine whether any treatment is "comparatively effective" for any individual based on the cost, likely success and probably the years left in life.
It also, according to Staver, "covers abortions, transsexual surgeries, encourages counseling as to how many children you should have, whether you should increase the interval between children."
The plan would allow, in Section 1401, for the collection of information about individuals' health records, both "published and unpublished," and recommend policies for public access to data.
"It reflects a repressive regime worse than China's one-child policy," Staver told WND. "It's going down the road for a government that manages the most intimate matters of your life regarding health and safety."
Further, the plan is created to be the "only game in town," he said. And as people age or get sicker, it includes mandatory "consultations" offering suggestions on how to end life sooner, he said.
The Liberty Counsel staff that did the research was "astonished" by what they found.
J. Matt Barber, director of cultural affairs for Liberty Counsel, said in a commentary the bill reflects the influence of those who now surround President Obama.
"His choice of Harvard professor and self-styled 'neo-Malthusain' John Holdren as 'science czar' provides the latest and perhaps most troubling example of just how bad America really muffed it last November," Barber wrote.
"In the name of population control, Holdren has advocated both forced abortion and compulsory sterilization through government-administered tainting of the water supply. In a book he co-authored, entitled 'Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment,' Holdren calls for a 'Planetary Regime' to enforce mandatory abortions and limit the use of natural resources," he wrote.
Staver pointed to some of Holdren's outrageous suggestions, such as implanting sterility capsules in girls at puberty and extracting them only when they obtain government permission to have children. For men, he has suggested putting additives in the water system to cause sterility.
Barber wrote that Holdren has affirmed he believes there is "ample authority" under the U.S. Constitution for population growth to be "regulated."
"Even ... laws requiring compulsory abortion … could be sustained under the existing Constitution," Holdren suggested.
Nina May, founder of Renaissance Women, added to the arguments. She cited a 1948 Hitchcock movie about murder in which the victim's body is hidden in plain sight.
"The health care bill that Obama proposes has this theme at its core and has in its crosshairs the Baby Boomer engine that is pulling the derailed economy as it takes its final lap toward retirement. In less than two years, Baby Boomers will begin retiring in multitudes, expecting to reclaim the hard earned money they have been paying into Social Security. But this Health Care Bill, HR3200, has other plans for them," she wrote.
"Those 65 and older will be required to undergo mandatory 'end of life' counseling to determine if they are worthy to continue to not only live, but take much needed resources from those who are younger and more worthy to receive them. Counselors will be trained to discuss how to end life sooner, how to decline nutrition and hydration, how to go into hospice, etc.," she said.
"This will not be done without coercion. For those who have amassed assets enough to take care of themselves in their old age will have these assets confiscated in the name of fiscal responsibility, because by this time, every citizen will be entered into a national database under the guise of improved efficiency. This database will be run by a type of 'star chamber,' appointed by the president, that will determine whether or not you deserve the much needed operation your personal doctor thinks you need," she said.
The Liberty Counsel analysis also pointed out the government would be allowed to ration health care procedures, prevent "judicial review" of its decision, tell doctors what income they can have, impose new taxes for anyone not having an "acceptable" coverage, regulate whether seniors can have wheelchairs, penalize hospitals or doctors whose patients require "readmission," prevent the expansion of hospitals and set up procedures for home visits by health care analysts.
Under Section 440, Liberty Counsel said, the government "will design and implement Home Visitation Program for families with young kids and families that expect children." And Section 194 provides for a program that has the government "coming into your house and teaching/telling you how to parent," LC said.
WND reported earlier when Betsy McCaughey, the former New York state officer, told former presidential candidate Fred Thompson during an interview on his radio program the health care plan includes consultations for seniors on how to die.
"One of the most shocking things is page 425, where the Congress would make it mandatory absolutely that every five years people in Medicare have a required counseling session," she said. "They will tell [them] how to end their life sooner."
The proposal specifically calls for the consultation to recommend "palliative care and hospice" for seniors in their mandatory counseling sessions. Palliative care and hospice generally focus only on pain relief until death.
The measure requires "an explanation by the practitioner of the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available."

Pastries dripping with honey, detox salads and table views that will make you swoon. It's time to book a gourmet getaway in Istanbul…
With slick new restaurants springing up all over the city, Istanbul is well and truly flashing on Europe's foodie radar. Whether you're after a taste of traditional Turkey or up-to-the-minute cuisine, this cosmopolitan capital won't fail to delight your senses.
Where the wild things are
360 Istanbul (www.360istanbul.com) is a great place to eat on your first night. Here, you can throw any preconceptions about Istanbul out of the very high windows and enjoy a fabulous cocktail while you're at it. Perched on the top of an apartment block, with head-spinning views across the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn, it's the place to come for a trendy bite with a side helping of vertigo. The international menu, written in English and Turkish, will raise a smile with its cheekily named dishes, such as the 'Miss Piggy Pizza' and the 'Love Me Tender Beef Rib'. If you're more of a fish fan, try the fillet of dorade in vine leaves. It's melt-in-the-mouth delicious and the boozy raki sauce adds a tasty kick.
Fancy a kebab?
If the mere mention of a kebab triggers messy memories of Friday nights, get yourself to Hamdi Restaurant (www.hamdirestorant.com.tr) for some swift reprogramming. Hamdi make kebabs the way they should be - hot, hearty and full of flavour. The aubergine kebab comes highly recommended and the kebab with pistachios is another big hit. Book a table on the roof terrace and enjoy views of the Galata Bridge and the Golden Horn as you eat.
Seafood in style
It's no surprise that the Sultanahmet Fish House (http://sultanahmetfishhouse.com) is such a firm favourite with Istanbul's locals. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is warm and cosy. The only thing you'll find falling short is your bill! What more could you ask for? Sit back and tuck in as the coloured light from the lanterns spills over your table. The tasty mixed fish grill is ideal if you're feeling indecisive. Or go for the catch of the day cooked the way you like it. Just make sure you leave room for some honey-drenched baklava. It would be rude not to!
More than meze
If you want to sample some of Turkey's time-honoured greats, make your way to Güney Park Terrace (www.ritzcarlton.com/hotels/istanbul) at the Ritz Carlton for a traditional Turkish meze plate. The meze selection includes a little bit of everything and is a great representation of the country's finest foods and flavours; plump, juicy olives, tangy kashar cheese, delicious dolma… the list goes on! Finish up with the traditional Turkish dessert plate and declare yourself an expert in Turkish cuisine!
Detox of delights
If all that meat and meze has taken the shine from your halo, don't despair: just go to Saf (www.thelifeco.com/centers-c.asp) and polish it back up. Saf – Turkish for pure – serves convincingly tasty vegetarian cuisine with a splash of science. The organic ingredients are served raw or prepared at low temperatures so the shiny healthy enzymes don't fry. There's even a four-course weight loss menu. Take a bite of your courgette flower dolma and feel the nutrients whizz around your body!
Where to stay
Sultanhan Hotel - a new boutique hotel with lashings of charm, Ottoman-style fabrics and antique furniture. Doubles from €230.
Hotel Spina Istanbul - a converted 19th-century house with a beautiful wooden exterior. Doubles from €79.

Mail Buoy Watch was another tradition. We had a Foul Weather bell up on the forward starboard catwalk off the flightdeck. The guys on the Bridge could see it fine including the old man. You placed a Noob there and said now if you see a Buoy you ring the bell and wave your hands frantically at that guy up there on the bridge. We sent noobs around for a Bucket of Steam, a Light Bulb repair Kit and the best was a BT Punch. A BT was a Boiler Tech. noob came back and says everybody just laughed and hit my arm. In todays PC world I imagine tacking on a persons Crow { Hitting The Eagle on a new NCO's rank insignia} would be punishable now.
We did have several swim calls where the Captain stopped the ship and we got to swim. The tough part was we had to climb down a cargo net from the hanger deck to the water and back up. There were Marines watching with rifles in case sharks popped up LOL.
You forgot sending a noob to get x number of feet of waterline. :-)
Oh, and sending a noob to get some relative bearing grease.
We had them get upper relative bearing grease and water hammers.
That's pretty good.
And thank you for your service.

Game Informer Magazine recently featured an updated look at Retro Studios' first-person adventure Metroid Prime: Echoes. The print publication unearthed some new details about the anticipated game, as well as some interesting information on the development cycle behind it.
IGNcube has compiled the new tidbits below:
- Retro is still considering dual-analog support for the game
- Even before artists were called in, Retro first designed and built all of Metroid Prime 2's gameplay mechanics and levels so that everything worked and was fun
- Projectiles from Aran's Dark Beam can slide across the ground and home in on enemies
- The worm-like boss in the Prime 2 E3 2004 trailer is called Amorbis. The beast is constructed of three giant worms whose mouths can shoot dark projectiles
- New Space Pirate Commandos carry a Variable Pulse Cannon, an E-Grenade Launcher and an Energy Scythe, and can cycle between them. They also repel energy-based projectiles with a Barrier Shield and can speed across the land at high speeds using Boost Thrusters. This type of enemy can also use a Shadow Cloak to turn invisible; Samus will need to use the Dark Visor to spot them
- Space pirates play a "very, very small part in the game."
- New enemy Grenchlers follow Samus into the water
- Galactic Federation Troopers appear in the game
- There are at least four Beams in the game and possibly more
- The Echo Visor enables Samus to see sound; an enemy called a Shrieker attacks Aran with sound beams that can only be viewed with the visor
- There are Inglet, Warrior Ing and Hunter Ing in the game
- The Spider Ball will be able to roll over complex surfaces; Samus can, for instance, roll over spheres and jump from one sphere to the next
IGNcube will have more on the game as information becomes available.

When Mike Fernandez donated $3 million to Miami, Florida-based St. Thomas University for a new student activity and leadership development building, school officials wanted to be certain the generous gift would be used wisely and with extreme care.
Planning for the facility and the meticulous search for the best construction team took more than a year, according to Juan M. Zamora, Physical Plant Director at St. Thomas and a member of the building committee. Finally, the school turned to Lemartec Engineering and Construction Corporation to build the all-purpose structure as well as ensuring that the precious dollars would work as hard as possible.
School officials were not disappointed. The Miami based construction firm, using pre-engineered steel from Varco Pruden Buildings, erected The Fernandez Family Center for Leadership and Wellness, a beautiful 62,000-square-foot facility that is home to the school's men's and women's basketball teams as well as the women's volleyball team. Additionally, it is equipped with a fitness center, an athletic training room, team locker rooms, fitness locker rooms, a concession area, and mezzanine level multi-purpose classrooms and is the home to all Bobcat sports administration offices.
The facility, adjacent to its soccer field and softball and baseball diamonds, also is used for non-athletic events, including graduation ceremonies which are held in the gym twice a year.
Zamora said the decision to use pre-engineered metal was enthusiastically agreed upon by the building committee and the architectural firm of Villa & Associates as well as Lemartec.
"There were two major reasons we decided on pre-engineered steel: cost and timeline," said Zamora, who now is in his 14th year as physical plant manager. "When I was told it would take only 18 months to build this facility, with all it has to offer, I was skeptical. But they did it. The building was done on time and on budget. We were very pleased–there were no problems at all."
The pre-engineered steel supplied by Varco Pruden has long been a popular choice for many construction projects when price and time are major factors. Not only can metal building systems be built more quickly than most other types of construction–and at a sizeable cost savings–but steel buildings are extremely durable and, at the same time, offer environmental features that other types of construction cannot.
And while these two factors are of prime importance to building committees, two other major reasons—appearance and environment—are other crucial aspects that weigh heavily in the final decision for most construction projects. An attractive structure, well sited and handsomely landscaped, adds much more than merely providing a new facility to the campus.
"Today's metal buildings are no longer limited in their capacity to adapt to various wall materials, including architectural metal, glass, brick, block, stone or wood," said Chuck Haslebacher, President,Varco Pruden, one of the nation's leading providers of metal building systems and a division of BlueScope Buildings North America, Inc. "The industry now can fully support an architect's need for form as well as function."
Steel system construction uses factory made materials with the frame, roof and wall systems produced to exact project specifications to ensure correct fit and to minimize waste. With other types of construction, the building components are field cut, fitted and assembled on site so there is always the matter of wasted wood, steel and concrete. Beyond the unnecessary cost of wasted materials, with today's environmental concerns, waste becomes an even more important issue.
"In addition to eliminating a large percentage of waste, there are additional environmental advantages in using steel building systems. Steel buildings can provide a thermally efficient envelope. Even when the project has outlived its usefulness and must come down, there is the factor of recyclability of steel," Haslebacher says. "With today's advanced insulation technology for metal structures, efficiency can be achieved with a combination of modern insulation systems and cool paint offerings."
It should also be noted that steel is a highly-recycled material. Typically, 25 percent or more of the steel content in a metal building is taken from post-consumer waste. Steel is non-flammable and completely non-toxic; therefore, it does not have negative impact on indoor air quality.
Metal can be finished or coated to reflect the infrared heat from the sun, which is an advantage both externally an internally. Using solar- reflective coatings, steel roofs and exterior walls can reduce the impact from heat that would increase cooling loads in the building and also increase the local heat island effect.
In addition to all the qualities that metal systems offered, Lemartec also had its own design-build team working seamlessly with the architect to find ways to the cut costs through value engineering.
"I would estimate that our team was able to provide a significant cost savings to the project," said Manny Garcia-Tunon, president of Lemartec. "We're pleased that we could deliver the project economically and at the same time provide an attractive building that fits in so well with the rest of the campus. We used a pre-engineered frame and still were able to get the conventional look we wanted.
"The design adaptability of Varco Pruden's framing system allowed us to give it the architectural look the client wanted. The fact that there was no field welding allowed us to complete the job very quickly and economically."
St. Thomas officials say the structure brings more to its 140-acre campus than simply functioning as an athletic facility. In addition to its athletic and wellness purposes, the School of Leadership Studies offers specific classes and seminars in leadership training, including the "Lead Now Experience," which develops high potential students.
Mike Fernandez, chairman of MBF Healthcare Partners, says, "The creation of a leadership and wellness center builds an unprecedented opportunity for STU. The programs offered there can develop students' leadership skills, mold their minds, shape their bodies and build their spirits."
Founded in 1961 by the Augustinian Order of Villanova Pennsylvania, the school was originally named Biscayne College, but when it achieved university status in 1984, it changed its name to its present one. St. Thomas, located in northwest Miami, between Fort Lauderdale and downtown Miami, has a diverse student population, representing 35 states and 65 countries. Fifty-six percent of undergraduates are women, and 15 percent of undergraduates reside on campus.
Despite not having a football team, the school still has an impressive football tradition. It was once the pre-season training home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins, including the celebrated 1972 team, the only NFL team to win the Super Bowl with a perfect season. In fact, coach Don Shula's practice field tower still stands only several hundred feet from the Fernandez Family Center. Indeed The Shula Tower is a source of pride on The St. Thomas campus. As is its Fernandez Family Center.

The Bells.
The earliest record of the bells is to be found in the parish register commencing 1714 The note is as follows:
"On Friday the 8th day of December, in the year 1775, the tenor third and treble bells were returned being recast at Gloucester"
An article in the parish magazine for February 1873 lists six
It is possible that the tenor bell of 1775 was replaced in 1836 by two bells thereby increasing the number from five to six. An entry in the Churchwardens' books suggests an increase was made but the dates are not clear.
In 1875 the tenor bell was found to be cracked and the two oldest bells were so badly damaged that they needed to be replaced. In addition to replacing the damaged bells two smaller bells were cast to make a ring of eight.
The bells are inscribed:
Following the augmentation of the bells to eight in I875, a note in the parish magazine of December 1876 appealed for additional contributions to cover the cost of the glazing of the windows in the tower, the replacement of the clock and the installation of a chiming apparatus.
The magazine for April 1877 reported that an apparatus had been put in the belfry by which all eight bells could be chimed by one person. This is used to chime the bells for services when it is not possible to assemble enough people to ring them.
Using the chimes it is possible to ring hymn tunes and carols.
The last major refurbishment of the bells was carried out by Mears and Stainbank in 1954. It was then that the old wooden headstocks were removed and the "crowns" cut off the bells. The headstocks were replaced with cast iron and the bells were rehung on ball bearings which had been fitted in 1937. The only bell remaining with its original crown and a wooden headstock is the "Parsons" or "Prayer" bell which is inscribed "GOD SAVE HIS CHURCH "
The weight of the tenor bell is estimated to be 1.2 tonnes (24 cwt). The total weight of the bells is approximately 4.7 tonnes The oak bell frame in which the bells are hung was installed in 1884.
Click here to listen to the bells!!
The details of the bells are as follows:
In January 2006 work was completed on the installation of four additional bells which were installed in the tower by Eayre & Smith Limited. Theses bells being much lighter than famous eight bells, have enabled young children from the village to learn to handle a bell and join the band of ringers.
The details of the newer bells are as follows:
The light bells have been so successful that an order has ben placed with Taylors of Loughborough for the installation of another two bells to create an independent ring of six bells. These will hopefully be installed in the summer of 2013
Striking Competition 2013.
On Tuesday 4th June a band from Gresford tower competed in the Striking competetion of the Wrexham Branch of the North Wales Association of Bell Ringers. The competition was held in Chirk Tower. Congratulations to the team from Gresford who won the competetion!

FAMILIES of loved ones who gave the gift of life to others have been honoured.
Sarah Jane Burke, 17, was killed when taxi driver David Baillie knocked her down in Ormonde Street, Sunderland, in September last year.
He is now serving a seven year sentence and has been banned from the roads after being found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving.
Her organs helped five others survive, with her parents Stephen and Theresa, both 50, following through with her wishes after she and sister Melisa, 21, signed up to the register years earlier online.
Melisa collected an award in her sister's name from the Order of St John award for Organ Donation, run in conjunction with NHS Blood and Transplant.
She was accompanied by Sharon McMahon, whose son Dean, 33, died four days after suffering a head injury from a fall in Carlisle Terrace in Southwick in February.
Although Dean had problems with alcohol, his liver has saved the life of a woman who needed a new organ within 72 hours, and two others were helped with his kidney.
Sharon, who is a mum to seven children, said: "I had to make my mind up pretty quickly.
"But then it didn't take me long because I had lost my son and I didn't want to think someone else would be facing the same.
"I thought if somebody can live on, why not, and I think that's what Dean would have wanted."
Sharon, 51, has since received a note of thanks from the liver recipient, and encouraged her whole family to sign up to the organ donation register.
Allyson Makin, also from Sunderland, received an award in her husband Anthony's name. The self-employed radiator repairman of Southwick fell over and hit his head on a night out, leaving his loved ones with the heartbreaking decision to turn off his life support machine.
In addition to Allyson, he left daughter Jennifer Dawson, 39, and sons Anthony, 33, and Jacque, 25.
Allyson, 59, said: "My husband had said that when he saw kids on TV who needed organs, he would donate, and since he died, I've signed up as a donor and we want somebody to be helped."
An award ceremony for the families was held in Newcastle and presented by the city's Lord Mayor, Coun George Pattison.
Ian Mackenzie, chairman of the local County Priory Group of the Order of St John, said: "With around three people dying every day due to the shortage of organs, these donors and their families have carried out an inspirational act to help others to live."

in chemistry, the organized array of all the chemical elements in order of increasing atomic number—i.e., the total number of protons in the atomic nucleus. When the chemical elements are thus arranged, there is a recurring pattern called the "periodic law" in their properties, in which elements in the same column (group) have similar properties. (See.) The initial discovery, which was made by Dmitry I. Mendeleyev in the mid-19th century, has been of inestimable value in the development of chemistry. It was not actually recognized until the second decade of the 20th century that the order of elements in the periodic system is that of their atomic numbers, the integers of which are equal to the positive electrical charges of the atomic nuclei expressed in electronic units. In subsequent years great progress was made in explaining the periodic law in terms of the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. This clarification has increased the value of the law, which is used as much...

Watch out for the launching of Ford's European versions of its new Ecoboost petrol engine in the facelifted S-Max and Galaxy at the Brussels motor show. With a badge that says STCi, the new turbocharged 2.0-liter motor delivers 200bhp and 221lb ft, taking the S-Max to 62mph in 8.5sec. That makes it more than 2.0 sec faster than the 2.3-liter model it replaces.
It also gets 25% more power compared to its outgoing unit. CO2 emission are cut 19% to 189g/km. Combined fuel economy is 34.8mpg, while all STCi models get Ford's Powershift dual-clutch gearbox.
The upgraded 2.0-litre diesel is offered with three different outputs: 113bhp, 138bhp and 161bhp. Emissions for the entry-level diesel are recorded at 152g/km of CO2; this engine has a combined economy figure of 49.5mpg. An option on these models is the powershift gearbox.
The two models get new lights, including LED tail-lights. The higher-priced S-Max models will feature LED daytime running lights as standard. Styling modifications include new fascias, bonnets and lower grilles on both models. The Galaxy is given new fog lights and roof rails. For its interior, Ford has improved quality by offering new materials and colors.
The two models will also use Ford's Fold Flat System for the second and third rows of seats to increase load capacity.
When it comes to technology, the models also get a rear camera, Ford's blind spot information system and a speed limiter device. The grand unveiling will be at the Brussels motor show on January 13. It will continue to be built together with the Mondeo at Ford's Genk plant in Belgium. Pricing has yet to be announced.

Hello world from GEESE – Global Education in European Schools promoting Entrepreneurism.
What is entrepreneurism if not innovation and business creation, inquiry methods and idea generation, skills required for the field to take its place in a 21st Century workforce needed for competitive economies and markets?

Three French hostages kidnapped by Al-Qaeda militants in Yemen more than five months ago are on their way home, a tribal official involved in their release said on Monday.
"They travelled by land to the Sultanate of Oman and will be flying to France from there," the chief who led the mediation efforts with Al-Qaeda militants told AFP.
He said the three former hostages -- two men and a woman -- were in "good health."
Tribal sources had said in July that the french aid workers were seized by Al-Qaeda militants in the Hadramawt town of Seyun, 600 kilometres (370 miles) east of Sanaa.
Several days later, tribal sources said the kidnappers were from Al-Qaeda and were demanding a ransom of $12 million.
On Monday, the tribal chief said a ransom was paid to secure the release of the hostages but did not specify who paid it or how much was paid.
All three were members of the French NGO Triangle Generation Humanitaire and first disappeared on May 28.
Early Monday, the French presidency announced their release and expressed its thanks to neighbouring Oman for assisting in securing their freedom.

A NUMBER of Nabarro Nathanson secretaries suffering from upper limb disorder have been told they will have their salaries terminated.
The decision by the firm comes after some of the secretaries have been off work on full pay for between six months and two years.
However, the plan is not to terminate their employment but to arrange for them to have an income based on 75 per cent of their salary from a permanent insurance (PHI) scheme through an insurance company, says Nabarros' director of personnel, Charles Mead.
"We have not terminated anybody's job because of this condition. Unfortunately, we may get to the point where we have to say these people will not get better in the foreseeable future," says Mead.
"I have the greatest sympathy for these people, and I hope we are reacting in a responsible and sympathetic manner," he says.
Nabarros has had 24 cases of repetitive strain injury (RSI) and upper limb-related illness among staff in the last two years. The firm says it helps to rehabilitate people, by first moving them to other duties if possible.
The firm says 13 people have now gone back to typing. Five are still off work after between 6-24 months absence on medical advice.
Eight cases are now awaiting the outcome of claims for PHI insurance, which pays- out 75 per cent of total salary.
Half of those are thought to have been off work a long time. Many sufferers, including the eight, are still on 100 per cent salary from the firm.
However, signs are that staff are unhappy about the situation, fearing loss of jobs and a cut in their income.
"There is a very real problem there," says one secretary, who says staff are seeking legal advice. "It's a very underhand way of going about things."

Few seek waiver from health insurance
WASHINGTON — The government left the door wide open for millions of Americans to be excused from the Affordable Care Act's requirement that most people must carry health insurance or pay a fine, but so far relatively few have asked for such a pardon.
About 77,000 families and individuals have requested exemptions from the health-care law's so-called individual mandate, according to internal government documents obtained by The Washington Post. As of April 20, officials had approved tens of thousands of exemption requests and rejected none.
The rest are on hold or in the process of being vetted. Even so, the numbers are relatively small compared with the 8 million who have enrolled in private coverage on the state and federal marketplaces — a sign that people taking action as a result of the health-care law are by and large choosing to comply with the mandate, long the most unpopular aspect of the program.
Republicans have been sharply critical not only of the mandate but also of the many ways a person can skirt it. Various categories of people, including those belonging to certain religious groups, Native Americans and illegal immigrants, may request an exemption. There are also 14 "hardship" categories, some of them rather broad.
Republicans have reserved particular criticism for a vaguely worded, catchall category added in December — an exemption available to anyone who "experienced another hardship in obtaining health insurance."
"There's a real question as to whether the White House just abandoned the individual mandate, the heart of Obamacare itself," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters last month.
But the documents show that there has not been a wave of people seeking this exemption. Serco, the company processing the exemptions for every state except Connecticut, reported receiving 2,700 such applications as of April 20. Those applications are being set aside until federal officials provide guidance on how they are to be judged, the documents show.
Officials with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the federal health agency overseeing much of the implementation of the health-care law, said Friday that the agency is working with those individuals to see if their circumstances fit into a different exemption category.
Serco also has not yet processed more than 20,000 applications from people who say they cannot afford insurance. CMS officials said they are in the final stages of testing a tool that will allow them to calculate eligibility for an exemption based on income.
Of the 76,859 exemption applications received by Serco as of April 20, the company had processed about 26,000, representing as many as 43,699 individuals.
The numbers provide only an initial snapshot, because people can apply for exemptions year-round. Some will get automatic exemptions — for example, if they make too little money to be required to file tax returns. Others will be able to get one when they file their 2014 taxes next year.
The Obama administration has projected that 12 million people will seek exemptions to the insurance mandate in 2016.
The vast majority of exemption applications submitted so far — more than 32,000 — came from members of federally recognized American Indian or Alaska Native tribes. Native Americans were excluded from the mandate because the federal government is already responsible for their health care through the Indian Health Service.
Many Native Americans have been applying for exemptions simply because they can, but they later enroll in coverage when they realize that private insurance offers better benefits, said Jerilyn Church, chief executive of the Great Plains Tribal Chairmen's Health Board, which is helping members of North Dakota and South Dakota Indian tribes enroll in health insurance.
"A tribal member can apply for the exemption, but it doesn't mean that they can't apply for [insurance on] the marketplace," Church said, adding that many are filling out exemption forms "just to cover their bases."
The second largest group is those receiving religious exemptions, with more than 11,000 exemptions approved as of April 20. There have been organized efforts to file exemptions in Amish, Mennonite and Hutterite communities — religious groups that oppose insurance and already are exempt from Social Security and Medicare.
One category of people expected to make up a large proportion of those with exemptions are those who would have been able to join Medicaid if their states took up the health law's optional expansion of the program.
That could cover about 7.6 million Americans, according to the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. However, the majority of those people make so little money that they are not required to file taxes and therefore do not have to fill out any form to be pardoned from the mandate.
Others in that group will have to fill out a form — something few are eager to do after learning that they do not qualify for Medicaid, said Jason Stevenson, spokesman for the Utah Health Policy Project, a group that receives federal funding to help people sign up for insurance.
"Most people are so upset that the last thing they want to do is fill out another government application," he said.
As of April 20, Serco had received about 11,400 general hardship exemption applications, of which this Medicaid-ineligible population is a subset.

When It Comes to Health Coverage, Employers Insure More Than Obamacare
May 12, 2015
The RAND Corporation has published a thorough analysis of Obamacare's effect on health insurance that should have put an end to the Obamacare success narrative. Unfortunately, too many continue to confuse the effect of the delayed recovery with Obamacare. What the RAND study really shows is that employer-based benefits have been restored as jobs have started to come back, says NCPA senior fellow John R. Graham.
The headline is that 172.7 million people, ages 18-64, are covered in 2015, versus only 155.8 million in 2013. The number of uninsured dropped by 16.9 million from 42.7 million to 25.8 million, falling from 21.5 percent to 13.0 percent of the population in that age group.
However, the RAND survey examines people insured or uninsured at a point in time, reporting changes from September 2013 through February 2015. The good news is the number of people with employer-based benefits increased by 8 million, from 111.9 million to 119.9 million (The total population is adjusted for death, aging and migration over the period.) Digging deeper, it looks like this improvement would have been much higher, but for Obamacare.
- Only 4.1 million of those uninsured in September 2013 received health insurance through the poorly functioning exchanges.
- Some 3.6 million workers lost their employer-based benefits and got dumped onto exchanges. Of the 9.7 million newly dependent on Medicaid, 6.5 million were previously uninsured. That is only two thirds of the total. The remaining third comprises a net of 3.2 million people who were previously insured.
- Nearly 3 million who lost Medicaid coverage, over half - 1.7 million - either received employer-based benefits or bought non-subsidized individual policies.
Without Obamacare, they would surely have kept their benefits. The same is true for many of the previously uninsured who enrolled in exchanges or fell into Medicaid dependency, whom Obamacare has crowded out of employer-based coverage.

United States Patent is basically a "grant of rights" for a limited period. In layman's terms, it is a contract in which the United States government expressly permits an personal or organization to monopolize a particular concept for a constrained time.
Typically, our government frowns on any kind of monopolization in commerce, due to the belief that monopolization hinders totally free trade and competitors, degrading our economic system. A very good instance is the forced break-up of Bell Phone some years ago into the many regional telephone organizations. The government, in specific the Justice Department (the governmental agency which prosecutes monopoly or "antitrust" violations), believed that Bell Phone was an unfair monopoly and forced it to relinquish its monopoly powers over the telephone business.
Why, then, would the government allow a monopoly in the type of a patent? The government tends to make an exception to motivate inventors to come forward with their creations. In undertaking so, the government in fact promotes developments in science and engineering.
First of all, it ought to be clear to you just how a patent acts as a "monopoly. "A patent permits the proprietor of the patent to avert any individual else from generating the patenting an idea solution or using the approach covered by the patent. Believe of Thomas Edison and his most well-known patented invention, the light bulb. With his patent for the light bulb, Thomas Edison could stop any other particular person or business from creating, employing or selling light bulbs without having his permission. Essentially, no a single could compete with him in the light bulb enterprise, and consequently he possessed a monopoly.
However, in buy to receive his monopoly, Thomas Edison had to give anything in return. He needed to completely "disclose" his invention to the public.
To get a United States Patent, an inventor must fully disclose what the invention is, how it operates, and the very best way identified by the inventor to make it. It is this disclosure to the public which entitles the inventor to a monopoly. The logic for undertaking this is that by promising inventors a monopoly in return for their disclosures to the public, inventors will continually strive to produce new technologies and disclose them to the public. Providing them with the monopoly makes it possible for them to profit financially from the invention. Without having this "tradeoff," there would be few incentives to develop new technologies, since without having a patent monopoly an inventor's difficult operate would bring him no fiscal reward. Fearing that their invention would be stolen when they attempt to commercialize it, the inventor might by no means inform a soul about their invention, and the public would in no way benefit.
The grant of rights under a patent lasts for a restricted period. Utility patents expire 20 many years following they are filed. If this was not the case, and patent monopolies lasted indefinitely, there would be serious consequences. For illustration, if Thomas Edison even now held an in-force patent for the light bulb, we would probably want to shell out about $300 to buy a light bulb these days. With out competitors, there would be tiny incentive for Edison to improve on his light bulb. Alternatively, once the Edison light bulb patent expired, absolutely everyone was free of charge to manufacture light bulbs, and several businesses did. The vigorous competitors to do just that right after expiration of the Edison patent resulted in much better top quality, decrease costing light bulbs.
Types of patents
There are basically 3 types of patents which you must be aware of -- utility patents, style patents, and provisional patent applications.
A utility patent applies to inventions which have a "functional" aspect (in other phrases, the invention accomplishes a utilitarian outcome -- it in fact "does" one thing).In other phrases, the issue which is diverse or "special" about the invention have ideas for inventions to be for a functional function. To be eligible for utility patent safety, an invention need to also fall within at least one particular of the following "statutory classes" as required below 35 USC 101. Maintain in thoughts that just about any physical, functional invention will fall into at least one of these classes, so you need not be concerned with which category best describes your invention.
A) Machine: believe of a "machine" as some thing which accomplishes a job due to the interaction of its bodily parts, this kind of as a can opener, an car engine, a fax machine, and so forth. It is the mixture and interconnection of these physical parts with which we are concerned and which are protected by the patent.
B) Report of manufacture: "articles of manufacture" need to be believed of as factors which achieve a job just like a machine, but without having the interaction of numerous bodily elements. Even though content articles of manufacture and machines could look to be similar in a lot of cases, you can distinguish the two by contemplating of articles or blog posts of manufacture as far more simplistic factors which generally have no moving components. A paper clip, for illustration is an write-up of manufacture. It accomplishes a process (holding papers collectively), but is clearly not a "machine" since it is a easy device which does not depend on the interaction of numerous elements.
C) Method: a way of doing anything by means of one or far more methods, each and every step interacting in some way with a physical component, is acknowledged as a "process." A method can be a new strategy of manufacturing a recognized merchandise or can even be a new use for a acknowledged product. Board video games are generally protected as a process.
D) Composition of matter: generally chemical compositions such as pharmaceuticals, mixtures, or compounds such as soap, concrete, paint, plastic, and the like can be patented as "compositions of matter." Food objects and recipes are usually protected in this method.
A design patent protects the "ornamental appearance" of an object, rather than inventors and inventions its "utility" or function, which is protected by a utility patent. In other words, if the invention is a helpful object that has a novel form or overall visual appeal, a style patent may offer the proper protection. To avoid infringement, a copier would have to produce a model that does not look "substantially comparable to the ordinary observer." They can't copy the shape and all round visual appeal with no infringing the style patent.
A provisional patent application is a stage toward getting a utility patent, the place the invention might not yet be prepared to get a utility patent. In other phrases, if it looks as however the invention are not able to yet get a utility patent, the provisional application may possibly be filed in the Patent Workplace to set up the inventor's priority to the invention. As the inventor continues to create the invention and make further developments which enable a utility patent to be obtained, then the inventor can "convert" the provisional application to a full utility application. This later on application is "given credit" for the date when the provisional application was 1st filed.

In December of 2011, I gave a talk to an audience of scientists, Pentagon officials, politicians, and CEOs on the secret of life and how I'd figured it out the previous summer. Afterward, people came up individually and told me how much what I'd shared meant to them. This book is based on the truth I spoke about. It's something I learned from within myself, something I believed saved me. And more than that, the way I set about to do it.
This is a collection of thoughts on what I learned, what worked, what didn't. Where I succeed and importantly, where I fail daily. The truth is to love yourself with the same intensity you would use to pull yourself up if you were hanging off a cliff with your fingers. As if your life depended upon it. Once you get going, it's not hard to do. Just takes commitment and I'll share how I did it.
It's been transformative for me. I know it will be transformative for you as well.

"Largely useless fluff"
Repeat "I love myself" 2 billion times. The rest is just to boost word count.
"Not for everybody"
Appreciate you sharing your experience, however in my opinion it was not for me. I think whatever you needed to tell yourself to get through worked for you but truly these basic techniques of repeating mantras will not work for everyone. God bless.
"It's ok. quick read. "
I think it's a good book especially for people that haven't read many other books yet that go deeper into the topic. its basically a short and easy simple summary scratching the surface of a bunch of other books like Biology of Belief, the secret, E-Cubed, a new earth... etc.
"Rantings of a high school kid"
Rantings of a high school kid who is still discovering the ways of the world.
"Waste of Money"
Very boring and useless. Author just tells a personal story and repeats "I love myself" over and over.
"waste of time"
It was simplistically written to the point I fell asleep every time I attempted listening to the audio. I rather read blogs and get to the point of the issue athand. My time was wasted and I am now hesitant about the selection and ratings of titles on this app.
"A waste of my time"
I'm glad it was short because it was a complete waste of my time.
"Blah, blah, blah"
Just tell yourself, "I love myself, I love myself, I love myself", about 10,000 times over and publish. Anyone who has to repeat that to themselves constantly does NOT live themselves. Sheesh! I was really hoping for some actual self actualizing insight, but this book fails. This guy comes across as extremely fragile. It made my head hurt! Did not care for this book at all.
"Can't believe I wasted my time and money"
Was very disappointed in this book.
It offered little practical advice and was very thin on real content. What little content there was, was stretched out to fill out the book.
"Waste of time"
The book doesn't give any content, context or ideas. All chapters come down to repeating the phrase 'I love myself'. It was even unbearable to try to listen to it. I find it even rude to release such a book, when there are so many useful books full of ideas, trying to give methods about how to do something or change anything. You won't find it in this book.
"Terrible book."
I hated this book and it was a struggle to listen to. Nothing about it motivated me or made me believe his 'method' works. What is his method anyway? I'm not entirely sure. Repeatedly tell yourself "I love you' and meditate? Jeez. This book was a jumbled up mess.
"Please read this, you'll thank me later 😁"
Read this, it's short and you're worth it. The secret to life is held within
"Short, simple yet powerful."
A great book that reminds us to use one of the most powerful affirmations of all, 'I love my-Self'.
"A very easy listen and powerful"
I found this book flowed well and very easy to listen to. The words love yourself are so simple but so powerful at the same time. I found myself feeling a little emotional hearing those words particularly with the exercise being described where you look in the mirror and into your eyes and say those words over and over for 5 mins. I plan to listen to this audiobook regularly and will practice the advice given. Thanks Kamal x
"Incredibly simple but brilliant"
What a simple but brilliant book. Thank you for sharing it with the world. Life changing.
"wonderful book"
Beautifully narated captivating listen. Have listened more than once! For anyone with poor self image
"wonderful book"
simple. effective. applyable. perfect. the simple things truly are worth there weight in gold. enjoyed
"A truthful piece of advice"
At worst, it's a book that says what you should know in such a truthful and meaningful way that gets you somewhere.
At best, this will hit you really, really deep and change you for the better.
Do not let the length fool you. The chapters are one minute bite-sized pieces of gold.

Lots of gunplay
Large areas
Music is accurate to the movies
Gameplay is shallow
Camera angles add to game's difficulty
Controls need work
Terminator: Dawn of Fate acts as a prequel to the
original story of the popular movie series in which a mechanical
killer in disguise, known as a terminator, goes into the past
to kill the mother of the man who leads the human resistance
in the post apocalyptic future. In Dawn of Fate, you
play as one of three resistance fighters who must finish a
mission to try and take down Skynet, or if that's not possible,
send Kyle Reece into the past to save Sarah Connor.
The opening CG sequence sets a great tone, showing us the
world as it exists. From time to time, it looks like it's
pulled straight from the original movie and even though the
facial models don't look too realistic, the animation and
detail was great and added to the dramatic lead-in to the
game. Once the game moves into in-game graphics, you'll notice
some fine overall detail and excellent use of lighting. Each
level is large with a lot of environmental detail. Flashes
from explosions and gunfire reflect off of surfaces and the
direct lighting (overhead bulbs, etc.) really adds a nice
touch. I would have to say, though, that certain parts of
the game are too dark and can lead the player to run around
aimlessly until they find a lighted area. The levels really
capture the post-apocalyptic look from the movies. The character
models, though, look okay. They're a little blocky and stiffly
animated. The NPCs look fairly average and seem to fall under
one of four or five designs.
Dawn of Fate's gameplay is fairly to the point. You
can attack with a melee weapon and even perform sweep kicks
to knock enemies down, but you'll really only bother with
melee attacks when you run out of ammo. Most of the time,
you'll be using guns and bombs to blow your way past wave
upon wave of terminators. Along the way, you'll have small
objectives in each location, like turning on the generators
or using C4 to blast out a ceiling. From time to time, you'll
be able to use gun turret emplacements to lay waste to large
groups of terminators. While you have three characters to
use along the way, they all control and act the same, so don't
expect a character change to yield new moves and skills. During
each level, you'll also want to pick up debris from enemies
called Skynet Tech, which can be traded in at the end of each
level to improve a variety of skills, like effectiveness of
armor or health packs. The player can also hit the Black button
to use their Adrenaline meter, which slows down time, a lot
like Max Payne's Bullet Time.
The music for the game is ripped straight out of the movies.
When you hear the trademark pulse and slow heavy drums, you'll
know exactly where you are. And to go with the movie's more
straightforward symphony pieces are some high-octane metal
that cues up when the battle kicks in. The voice acting is
on par for the average videogame. It won't wow you, but it
serves it's purpose.
The biggest drawbacks with Dawn of Fate are the controls
and camera both lead to excess frustration. The in-game camera
is set at certain locations, so the player will have to move
into the next camera angle to see where enemies may be. While
the control is based on the camera angle, there is no forgiveness
when you cross into a new angle. Run into a room with a few
different angles and you might find yourself swinging back
and forth a couple times, which leads to more confusion than
needs. To make things worse, the camera angles seem to change
way too often. To compound this, the controls seem sluggish
and multiple times, you may have to hammer the Y button just
to get your player to pull a switch.
Because of the linear and shallow gameplay, Terminator:
Dawn of Fate is a rental at best. The game has too many
essential drawbacks to make it worthy of a purchase. It can
still be enjoyed, but for the price of a rental.
- Kinderfeld

Competition in business is supposed to raise quality. In cricket, even though the game has become a business, competitiveness has led to a profound decline in the ethics of the game. Often referred to as the gentlemans game still, cricket now has very few real gentlemen playing it. The Australian vice-captain, Adam Gilchrist, proved during the semi-final match against Sri Lanka that he is one of a vanishing breed. He walked when he knew he was out even though the umpire had ruled him not out. Most batsmen of the present era Brian Lara being the honourable and significant exception in a similar situation would have taken a fresh guard and counted their good fortune. This has become so much the standard and accepted practice that walking is considered an act of stupidity. Yet things were not always like this. One of the great stories from the archive of cricket lore recounts how Jack Hobbs, after he heard an appeal from Bert Oldfield from behind the stumps, asked, What was that Bert' The prince of wicket-keepers who never appealed unless he was certain replied, I think you are out, sir. Hobbs rejoined, Then I think I better go and he took off his gloves and began his walk to the pavilion without even a glance at the umpire. This was the spirit of cricket: a spirit informed by trust and mutual respect.
The action of Gilchrist is significant because it comes at a time when displaying ones displeasure at the umpires decision has almost become fashionable. Even captains do it. It is nobodys case that umpires do not make mistakes. They do and with the new technology that is available a mistake made by the umpire becomes public knowledge almost instantaneously. Players thus always have public sympathy when an umpire errs. The players could make the life of the umpire easier if they chose to walk. They dont. Similarly, bowlers and fielders often appeal when they know or should know that it is not out. Appeals for leg before the wicket from point or square leg are familiar sights in todays cricket.
To be fair, walkers have always been the exception rather than the rule. The great Donald Bradman was not a walker. His logic was that bad luck (given out when not out) and good luck (given not out when out) actually cancel each other out in ones career. But and this is an extremely important point he never expressed even the slightest displeasure at the decision of the umpire when it went against him. In fact, it is said, that he never left the ground, when given out, without a smile on his face. This example from the greatest of all batsmen only shows that even without being a walker, it is possible to be gracious and gentlemanly on the cricket field. It is important to underline in the context of this example that the Don was a very keen competitor.
It has become a popular refrain that cricket has changed and one can no longer survive within it as a gentleman. Aggression is supposed to produce winners. Gilchrist and the admiration he has received from some of his fellow players for his gesture have shown that there are gentlemen left in the game, that there are traditions in the game which players still want to uphold. All is thus not lost for the purist and the genuine cricket lover.
