Kleinfelter Syndrome
Klinefelter's syndrome is a condition wherein a male has an extra X chromosome. Typically, men and women have two sex chromosomes, women have two X chromosomes (46,XX), while men have an X and Y chromosome (46,XY). '46' refers to the total number of chromosomes present including both autosomes and sex chromosomes. However, men with Klinefelter's syndrome have three sex chromosomes (47,XXY) due to a process known as non-disjunction[1].
In some very rare cases there are two or more extra copies of the X chromosome present (48,XXXY, or 49,XXXXY). This generally results in more prominent clinical features. In approximately 20% of cases, 46,XY/47,XXY mosaicism can occur[2]. This refers to the situation where the extra chromosome is only present in some cells, this is due to errors occurring during mitosis.
Klinefelter's syndrome usually presents with a few standard clinical abnormalities. Affected men can have reduced fertility and hypogonadism. However, a high proportion of affected men may not show any symptoms and the severity of the disorder differs greatly from person to person. It is thought to be one of the most common conditions caused by non-disjunction[3].
This disorder was first described by Harry F. Klinefelter in 1942 [4]. He describes a disorder characterised by gynecomastia and a very specific type of hypogonadism, as well as an absence of spermatogenesis.
Signs and Symptoms
Androgen Therapy
Androgen therapy involves the replacement of testosterone. This is primarily given to stimulate the onset of puberty in affected males. Ideally, testosterone is given from quite a young age to encourage normal development. In addition to this, it assists in treating or preventing some of the more typical clinical presentations of this disorder. Testosterone replacement encourages secondary sexual attributes, and helps ensure standard bone and muscle mass[5].
Aromatase inhibitors can be administered to men, in order to lower intrtesticular estradiol levels. This is thought to encourage the production of testosterone and activate spermatogenesis[6]. There are two main methods used to treat non-obstructive azoospermia, microdissection testicular sperm extraction (TESE) and conventional TESE. These are methods of extracting what sperm is present in the testes for use in in vitro fertilisation (IVF). It has been shown that microdissection TESE has a higher rate of success[7]. The most common IVF technique used in these situations is intracytoplasmic sperm injection, where a single sperm is injected into a single egg. Thus, for the highest
Microsurgery Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) followed by in vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a common method utilised to treat non-obstructive azoospermia. Men are usually administered aromatase inhibitors for a few months before surgery. The surgery involves

The mayors of American cities large and small reacted with outrage on Wednesday as President Trump signed an executive order saying he would halt funding to municipalities that did not cooperate with federal immigration officials.
The defiant officials — from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and smaller cities, including New Haven; Syracuse; and Austin, Tex., said they were prepared for a protracted fight.
"We're going to defend all of our people regardless of where they come from, regardless of their immigration status," Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York said at a news conference with other city officials.
In Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel declared: "I want to be clear: We're going to stay a sanctuary city. There is no stranger among us. Whether you're from Poland or Pakistan, whether you're from Ireland or India or Israel and whether you're from Mexico or Moldova, where my grandfather came from, you are welcome in Chicago as you pursue the American dream."
Mr. Trump's order targeted what are known as sanctuary cities and counties, which generally do not comply with federal requests to detain undocumented immigrants who have been arrested on charges unrelated to their immigration status and turn them over to the federal authorities for possible deportation. Mr. Trump's order said that jurisdictions that refused to comply "are not eligible to receive Federal grants, except as deemed necessary for law enforcement purposes."
But while Mr. Trump's position was broad and biting, it was unclear just how extensive any funding cuts could be. In the current fiscal year, New York City expects to receive $8.8 billion in federal funding for a variety of programs, including education and transportation, to fill out its $84.8 billion annual budget. But the administration's ability to turn off the federal funds is limited, legal advisers to Mr. de Blasio said.
According to Comptroller Scott M. Stringer, the federal grants that might be vulnerable include $9 million from the Department of Justice and $156 million from the Department of Homeland Security. But because that money is for counterterrorism efforts, it would seem unlikely that it would be cut.
"The rhetoric doesn't match the legal authority," said Peter L. Markowitz, the director of the Immigration Justice Clinic at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York. "In fact, the president has very limited power to exercise any kind of significant defunding."
According to a 2012 Supreme Court decision, Mr. Markowitz said, Congress is not permitted to set conditions on spending to coerce states or localities to participate in a federal program against their will. Any conditions, at a minimum, must be directly related to the punitive action.
In other words, Mr. Markowitz said: "You can't say 'if you don't use your police officers to go after unauthorized immigrants, you don't get any money for your hospitals.' They can't impose conditions that are totally unrelated."
According to the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, a national group, at least 39 cities and 364 counties nationwide count themselves as sanctuary jurisdictions, but they vary in how limited they are in restricting cooperation with immigration enforcement.
California has been one of the leaders in offering sanctuary, and reaction there was strong.
An hour after the president signed the order, a group of California state senators said they planned to fight it in court, with help from Eric H. Holder Jr., former attorney general, whom the Legislature has retained to take on what the senators said they expected would be continued fights with the Trump administration. They said Mr. Trump's order violated the 10th Amendment by forcing local governments to enforce federal statutes.
Mayor Sam Liccardo of San Jose, who counts his city among the ranks of sanctuaries without using the term, said that, on matters of public safety, "our police chief is the best person to decide how to use the scarce resources we have."
"It's not simply an ideological decision," he said. "Our Police Department, like most, doesn't engage in federal tax laws, federal environmental laws or federal immigration laws."
San Francisco featured prominently in the debate over sanctuary city policies after the killing of Kathryn Steinle, a resident of the city, in July 2015.
Ms. Steinle was 32 when she was fatally shot by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an immigrant from Mexico who was in the United States illegally. He had a long criminal record, a history of heroin abuse and had been deported to Mexico at least five times.
During the campaign, Mr. Trump seized on Ms. Steinle's death as "yet another example of why we must secure our border immediately."
A case brought by the Steinle family in federal court in May blames the San Francisco county sheriff at the time, Ross Mirkarimi, for issuing a memo that ordered his staff to cut off all communication with federal immigration authorities, according to court documents.
Lawyers argue that the memo contradicted federal law and "surpassed his authority."
After Mr. Trump signed the order, San Francisco's mayor, Ed Lee, issued a statement in coordination with Mr. Liccardo and the mayor of Oakland, Libby Schaaf.
"We will not give in to threats, or political grandstanding," Mr. Lee said. "Together, the Bay Area will stay true to our values of inclusiveness, compassion and equality, and united against any and all efforts to divide our residents, our cities, and our country."
In New York, Mr. de Blasio said the president's order would threaten the relationship between the police and residents because undocumented immigrants would be hesitant to cooperate with law enforcement.
But perhaps no official went as far as Boston's mayor, Martin J. Walsh. "To anyone who feels threatened today, or vulnerable, you are safe in Boston," Mr. Walsh said at a news conference. "We will do everything lawful in our powerful to protect you. If necessary, we will use City Hall itself to shelter and protect anyone who's targeted unjustly."
Mr. Walsh said he would allow people to effectively take up residence inside City Hall, evoking the "sanctuary church" movement, in which religious groups have offered shelter to undocumented immigrants who fear deportation.
"They can use my office, they can use any office in this building," Mr. Walsh said. "They'll be able to use this building as a safe space."

Montage: 18 Times Obama Trashed America in Asia'We're a nation that was founded on the belief in the dignity of every human being; sometimes we've struggled to stay true to that belief'What is it about traveling abroad that seems to encourage President Obama to unload all manner of grievances on the United States? For whatever reason, traveling abroad appears to help crystallize everything wrong he sees in America. During his recent trip to Cuba and Argentina, for example, we counted 18 separate times he talked down his employer, the United States of America. His just-concluded trip to Asia was no different. Here are 18 separate attacks he unloaded while in China and Laos:

I'm back! I've Just had a great week not being at Spring Harvest! What I mean by that is we (the family) were at Minehead Butlins at the same time as people were Spring Harvesting but we lacked the necessary bracelets to gain access to anything Spring Harvesty. Jolly good time though and great to catch up with lots of friends who were Spring Harvesters (or maybe, Spring Harvested!)
Spring Harvest are all geared-up for 2009 already (I had a look in case we don't go again)
Interesting ethical dilema: Would it have been OK to sneak into SH stuff given that all are welcome in the Kingdom? (We didn't, but given that the SH bouncers were very fastidious in their wrist band inspection I don't think we'd have got away with it anyway)
Amusing moment: Walking between two rows of chalets and seeing Steve Chalke on every single TV? (I didn't know, until then, there was SHTV)
(anyone who knows the tribe called Macdonald and seeks further info on our holiday can by clicking continue reading)
Hi Mum/anyone else?
It was a great holiday and the offspring loved the level of independence they had on the Butlins site (this is a codified way of saying we didn't know where they were half the time).
H especially loved the freedom, and although we had to collect him from lost-property once, he was quite free. Most afternoons he took himself, a sandwich and a drink off to the Funfair and drove the dodgems again and again and again.
E loved the funfair and got a kick out of being tall enough, and therefore riding, the vomit inducing white knuckle stuff. I bravely watched 🙂
S loved cycling and running round EVERYWHERE and complaining at the injustice of not being 1.4 metres tall yet and thus barred from most of the rides his sister loved. There was however the ultimate indoor climbing and play area thing that E was too tall for, thus harmony (or at least parity of unfairness) was achieved.
My favourite moment was when we built a stone shelter on the beach at Porlock Weir and lit a fire. We sheltered from the wind drinking hot chocolate and toasting our sandwiches and hula hoops?

Pippi Langstrump
"This is the most anarchistic children's book in the
Swedish language," said one Swedish newspaper when Pippi Longstocking
was first published in 1945. Critics cited a number of "educational
irregularities" in Lindgren's book, that it was tasteless, abnormal and
even unsuitable for girls. Today such reproaches seem groundless and even
absurd. Nevertheless, women's studies are now examining Pippi under a
microscope and sometimes saying, reproachfully, that Pippi is really some sort of
super-girl or even a boy in disguise; some feminist scholars have even
suggested that the story's "sexist" content should be expunged. But
others see her as the influential forerunner of a new wave in children's
literature of active heroines who defy social convention.
Pippi Longstocking is one of the most influential books in its genre, and Pippi herself is a heroine who, after all these years in both book and film (as played by the excellent Inger Nilsson), has managed to preserve the greater part of her practicality, curiosity, humour and irony.

And Then There Were None E1 (BBC One) (2015)
Contains some mild spoilers for episode 1, but not whodunnit…
One of the most aggravating things about recent screen adaptations of Agatha Christie's novels is that today's generation of network executives seem to regard the source material as too old hat to trust on its own anymore. Instead, recent productions have tended to send up and spoof Christie's canon (the early series of ITV's Agatha Christie's Marple was particularly bad in that respect) or make the stories outright comedies (the woeful Partners in Crime for example.) Even the widely regarded, long-running series of generally excellent David Suchet Hercules Poirot dramas lost faith and started extensively rewriting and reimagining the stories toward the end, usually only managing to demonstrate a complete lack of understanding about what they were dealing with in the process.
It was therefore with some trepidation that I worried about what the BBC would do with its 2015 take on And Then There Were None, commissioned as part of global celebrations for the 125th anniversary of the Queen of Crime's birth. The book is a favourite of mine and is in fact the best-selling murder mystery of all time around the world, so you'll forgive me if I'm henceforth hyper-sensitive about any disrespectful failings that I might find here.

Sherlock "The Empty Hearse" / The Thirteenth Tale / Death Comes to Pemberley
Christmas is over, the New Year has been seen in, but just before we exit holiday standby mode here are three quick reviews of BBC television festive fare from the last week. There are some mild, implied spoilers but nothing too overt.
Sherlock S3 E1 "The Empty Hearse" (BBC One)
The BBC's high-quality modern version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous consulting detective finally made its long-awaited return to our screens two years after Sherlock Holmes' apparently fatal plunge off a hospital rooftop. There had been much speculation about how Holmes cheated death and the episode had great fun in dodging and deferring that question, instead presenting some of the more outlandish Internet theories that have been bandied around in the interim (one of which included a lovely cameo by Derren Brown); when the real solution is finally rolled out late in the day, the in-show conspiracy theorist deflates and pronounces it "Disappointing" before immediately picking holes in it, refusing to believe the answer – just like the real-life social media reaction that followed after the show aired. Co-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat know their audience, that's for sure. Read the rest of this entry »

ndorsed the principle of the double effect, the Court did not directly apply the principle to the practice of writing drug prescriptions. The logic of the opinion supports the conclusion that physicians can continue to write prescriptions for medically indicated drugs even with the knowledge that the patients might use the drugs to commit suicide, as long as the physicians intent is to prolong the patients life and prevent suffering. The dismissal of physicians ability to use their own discretion on determining who is and who is not a candidate for euthanasia has maintained a legal loophole for physicians. The theory that is the framework for terminal sedation is that it is appropriate for physicians to treat the pain and other suffering of patients aggressively, even if doing so is Tierce, 7 likely to bring about death. On a closer examination however, terminal sedation can at times be equal to euthanasia, or a variety of slow euthanasia.

Terminal sedation equates to assisted suicide, in that the sedated patient dies from the combination of the unconsciousness and the withholding of food and water.Without these two interventions on the part of the caregiver the patient would live longer before weakening to the illness. Thus in its fundamental actions terminal sedation bears a greater resemblance to euthanasia that to mere mercy killing. The withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment has been invariably allowed, because the patient dies from the underlying illness, not from the active applied interference of a physician or of a chemical substance. A person who is in a persistent vegetative state dies when a feeding tube is withdrawn, because the patients condition is responsible for their inability to eat and drink. That, however, is not the case in terminal sedation accompanied by the denial of nutrition and hydration. Assisted suicide requires the active participation of the patient; terminal sedation, however, can be induced without the patients knowledge thus making it more difficult to monitor and to maintain standards of procedure. Tierce, 8 As it stands now, patients have the right to be sedated for the relief of pain, but once sedated, they would lose the right to have nutrition and hydration withheld or withdrawn.
Now that the courts have essentially left open a back door for the perpetuation of terminal sedation, many have abandoned the movement for legalized assisted suicide. However the distinctions between the two cases are more symbolic than factual, and the hazards posed by terminal sedation far outweigh those which would be posed by physician assisted suicide. The hazards and indignities imposed by terminal sedation are still fundamentally unnecessary when one looks to assisted suicide for comparison. Terminal sedation serves fewer of the purposes of a right to die law than assisted suicide or euthanasia. And although terminal sedation ensures a painless death, it forces patients to accept a dying process that is prolonged when compared with what it would be in the instance of assisted suicide or euthanasia. Terminal sedation requires that patients linger in a condition that may profoundly compromise their dignity as well as destroy the memory they would choose to leave behind.
Terminal sedation also prevents patients from maintaining control over when and how they will die. Essentially terminal sedation is not giving solution to these Tierce, 9 problems which the right to die movement originated in order to protect. Under the courts ruling it appears that terminal sedation can be limited to appropriate cases. So similarly is it not possible that the government should be able to limit assisted suicide to its appropriate cases? Whatever regulations that physicians apply when deciding that terminal sedation is an appropriate therapy, can also be used to decide when assisted suicide is also appropriate treatment. The courts decision for terminal sedation and against assisted suicide implies that it cares as much about the reasons a patient desires to die, as about how the patient physically attains death.In approving terminal sedation regardless of the fact that it often amounts to euthanasia, the court is in essence saying that the right to die primarily reflects a concept of morality which states that people who are dying, as well as suffering intolerably, should be allowed to die simply through refusal of life-sustaining treatment. Although the debate for and against physician assisted suicide is far from over, the recent legal conclusions leave a rather vague understanding of the Supreme Courts intentions for the future of physician assisted suicide, euthanasia, and terminal sedation.
In their rejection of a constitutional right Tierce, 10 to physician assisted suicide, the Court has preserved a long-standing tradition in the distinction between the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment and assisted suicide and euthanasia. The Court has, however, undermined such a distinction by sanctioning terminal sedation. Though terminal sedation seems consistent with traditional medical care, it is often carried out as a form of euthanasia.
The practice of terminal sedation is ethically more problematic than assisted suicide or voluntary euthanasia because it can be perpetrated without the explicit consent of the individual being sedated.The Court seems to be implying that within the Constitution there is something to the effect of a right not to suffer at least when death is approaching. Although progress has been made, the Court has not truly broken new ground in the decisions affecting physician assisted suicide. Their concurring opinions can, however, be read as a warning to the individual stated that they should not attempt to adopt any restrictive statutes that would prohibit instead of inhibit physicians from doing everything in their medical power to prevent suffering. Clearly the legalization of physician assisted suicide rather than terminal sedation is the better choice for the United States. The United States should follow the example of the Netherlands and establish certain guidelines associated with physician assisted suicide in order Tierce, 11 to make the process less painful and less apt to commit any wrongdoing throughout the process.The patients who undergo terminal sedation are required to embrace a form of death that is less expedient and that is more vulnerable to abuse, and they are being placed in situations of possible peril by a government whose supposed intention in creating such an environment is to afford greater protection to them.
This question and other questions like it will have to be answered in future attempts to bring this movement to the forefront of Americas conscience. Bibliography Works Cited Annas, George J.

2G: Venice Lagoon Park
related projects
Location: Venice, Italy
Venice occupies the EDGE. It is the edge between land and sea. It is the edge between city and theme park. It is the edge between citizen and tourist. Today, it is on the edge of turning an unfortunate corner and losing its legitimate place as one of the great cities of the world. Venice must embrace the future development of tourism to remain a functioning community for its citizens.
The goal of the recolonization of the lagoon necessitates planning for large, temporary influxes of people (tourists) as well as a permanent base population (citizens). To facilitate this, new development needs to respond to the needs of a contemporary city in this unique location through a variety of means. This project proposes the recolonization of the Venice lagoon through the reestablishment of the population beginning with the development of the island of Sacca San Mattia. The site will, over time, become established as the new neighborhood of Sant' Antonio Abate through the creation of a Museum District and Venice Stadium. These create the needed commerce, organized tourism, and patriotism to support residential and support services development phases.

"Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" (PG): She may be called evil, but in this sequel, Angelina Jolie's character is outdone by her counterpart, Queen Ingrith (Michelle Pfeiffer). Ingrith's son is bethrothed to Maleficent's human goddaughter, Aurora (Elle Fanning), and to say that Maleficent and Ingrith don't get along is an understatement.

Discussion in 'Card Hunter General Chat' started by Will-, Sep 22, 2013.
Yeah, it's an MP thing. Perhaps I should add, that my advice is mainly for multiplayer.
All 3 of these are great items for the reasons previously stated, but their value largely depends upon your style of play. That being said, I hope you drop 4 legendary treasures to make the decision easier.
I have Perfect Resilience in my Randimar's. Is this worth the 2500G price tag? I mostly play PvE, but opinions for both PvE and PvP would be appreciated.
I dont think its worth a major token, Raging Resilience is a better alternative.
That being said I sometimes use Perfect Resilience in medium level campaign modules where I have major tokens to spare in my Firestorm wizard.
Perfect Resilient is good also in the map "The Secret of the elder mind" i think
3rd copy of Captain Cedric's Vow and/or True Silver, yay or nay?
Maybe saving gold for a new expansion...
1st Korenchkin's Tactical Tunic look like a good purchase.... it is more for SP or MP?
I bought my first a while back to complete the Adaptable collection and tried it out a bit in MP. It's decent but not really all that great. Adaptable is probably worst on a wizard compared to the other classes because you don't want to be taking damage in the first place. And there are better items for both Arcane Shell or Escaping Run. I haven't used it for a while now but I'm still happy to have it, it's definitely a pretty cool item. As for whether it's more for SP or MP, I would say MP.
So it is for MP where your wizard will take ranged damage usually? since of course any hawkwind moccasin can give me an escaping run
No restock this week?!? That sucks
I've been trying to rationalize that by this point it's become an annual tradition.
Somehow, that really doesn't help.
It's a bug with how they calculate when to restock. It happens every New Year. It's been like that for years. :-P
Should've recolled this; Not like it's my first year of playing this
Now that Randi is back, what do people think of Raging Resilience? I don't have the other double Antimagic Skin item yet.
@Kalin: Raging Resilience is super awesome. Double Antimagic + Trait for only a ? Firestorm central right there. Likewise, if you're going for an Arrogant Warrior build (like hopped-up on Assegais), this furthers your safety density (to mitigate Fumbles while staving off bad Traits).
Been awhile since I've actually gotten to play, though. (Just got the 'Net fixed, yaaay.) Might wanna hear from others -- although the week ends soon. $;^ J
Worth maxing out imo.
LOL at my Randimar's this week:
Cudgel Of Wrath
Dark Drewg's Mace (already own 1)
Flail Of Fury (already own 1)
(3 tokenless Divine Weapons)
I also have:
Flame Warper (already own 1)
Hylithia's Robes
Trained Tactics (already own 1)
Should I pick up any of these?
If you have doubts, probably not. You know your way around well enough by now.
Flame Warper should be an easy pick for burning wizards.
Separate names with a comma.

One of our Books of the Year 2014 - May 2014 Book of the Month A profound story about the effect of despair on society is touched with magic and humour by best-selling Roddy Doyle. When a black dog comes out of the clouds and settles itself in Dublin everyone's family is affected in one way or another. For Gloria and her brother Raymond it brings their Uncle Ben to stay when his business goes bust. What can the children - and all the other children in Dublin – do to chase the black dog away? After a wonderful night-time adventure through Dublin the children enlist the help of the animals in the zoo to chase is black dog away forever.
When Uncle Ben's Dublin business fails, it's clear to Gloria and Raymond that something is wrong. He just isn't his usual cheerful self. So when the children overhear their granny saying that the Black Dog has settled on Ben's back and he won't be OK until it's gone, they decide they're going to get rid of it. Gathering all their courage the children set out on a midnight quest to hunt down the Black Dog and chase it away. But they aren't the only kids on the mission. Loads of other children are searching for it too, because the Black Dog is hounding lots of Dublin's adults. Together - and with the help of magical animals, birds and rodents - the children manage to corner the Black Dog ...but will they have the courage and cleverness to destroy the frightening creature?

Roddy Doyle's magical contemporary fable conjures up an atmospheric Dublin of talking animals and helpful vampires, a city where the intensity of human emotion is tempered by a crackling verbal wit and warmth that shines through the swirling black clouds like a ray of sunshine.

Top 3 Reasons Why Changing Razor Blades Is Important For Your Skin
August 27, 2015 | Shaving & Shower
- Prevent Razor Burns and Cuts
Just imagine a blunt knife cutting a vegetable and how it ends up tearing the veggie instead of cutting it off nicely! The same thing happens when you use a dull blade in your razor. It doesn't cut hair, but tear down the hair, damages your skin to be followed by irritation, cuts and razor burn. A razor blade should easily glide across your skin. If you feel you're pulling your razor to shave, that probably means your blade has become dull. A sharp razor blade is needed to prevent razor burn on the neck and chin, which is one of the very sensitive areas of shaving your face.
- Prevent Acne
One of the primary reasons for acne is the excess of oil and dirt build up within your skin pores.When your blades don't get rinsed easily with water, there are high chances of dirt clogging on the blades. This causes whole lot of bacteria that is floating around on the blade to enter in your skin pores, thus flare-up your acne. So technically in order to reduce that risk, it come cartridges play key role on your skin and changing them regularly is important.
- Secret to Younger-Looking Skin
Having a fresh clean face and younger-looking skin every day doesn't need to be painful process. Many estheticians list quite a few benefits of shaving your face often. Shaving your face can have somewhat similar results to a professional dermaplaning procedure. [Dermaplaning provides a deeper exfoliation by removing the outer dead skin]

Are You Ass-u-me-ing With Your Target Market? (Marketing Help)
One of the #1 mistakes businesses make is assuming they know what their target market wants, and creating marketing copy, promotions, products & services based off of those assumptions.
Why is this a mistake? Well, you know the old adage: "When you assume, you make an ass out of u and me." Are you doing this with your clients and your business?
Creating your business offerings and marketing copy based on what you THINK your target market wants or needs versus what you KNOW they want is a recipe for failure.
Early on in my business, I created offerings "in a vacuum," meaning I created them based solely on my own ideas or beliefs of what seemd like a good idea to offer, or something I thought I could pull off and that people would be interested in. I also hear my private business coaching clients say to me often, "I hope I can get a good response to this."
It's sort of like throwing a party and hoping people will come.
What I've learned (through my own experience of failed attempts as well as the sage advice of my coaches) is that you don't have to be so concerned about that fear if you KNOW that your target audience is chomping at the bit for something.
And how do you KNOW (vs. assume) what they desperately want? Simple: YOU ASK THEM.
You must get out of your own head and into your ideal clients' heads. Once you understand fully what they most want RIGHT NOW, you can speak their language in all your promotional material to draw them in to your offerings, then show them that you understand their pains and have a solution for them.
Here are some ways to do this research:
1. Determine their top 10, 5, 3 needs & wants, pains & challenges (listen to my explanation of this on my free audio, "The 3 Keys You MUST Master…" which you can ask to receive in the fill-in form on the right). ==========================================>
2. Poll them in your blog or newsletter (be very specific and targeting with this, and do it in spurts so it's not overwhelming to them, and so you can gauge changes in needs/wants over time).
3. Ask directed questions of them on social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc.)
4. Talk to current and past clients
5. Find people you know in your area who fit your ideal client/target market profile (maybe from your networking groups) and offer to take them to lunch/coffee to "pick their brain" about what people in their situation could really use help with.
1. Come up with a list of questions you can ask your market to determine what they have an urgent and immediate need to have or solve.
2. Utilize one or more of the strategies above to get the answers
3. Come up with something really relevant and "juicy" to offer them to solve their problem or help them get what they want

Time to Invest in Debt Funds.
Recently the RBI imposed Liquidity tightening measures to curb Rupee Volatility. The liquidity tightening has resulted into higher bond yields. The shorter term as well as longer term interest rates have spiked up. This provides us an entry point to Invest in Debt Funds.
The Benchmark 10 year G Sec yield touched an intraday high of 9.47% on 20th August. This resulted in some value buying at those levels and later on intervention by the RBI in the Currency markets resulted in some cooling off. The 10 year Gsec closed at around 8.90% on 20th August.
The RBI also unveiled some new steps on 20th August in the evening :
- OMO purchases on 23rd August of Rs 8000 crores were announced with an aim to control long term government bond yields.
- Allow banks to transfer SLR from Available For Sale(AFS) book to HTM book up to 24.5% of their deposit at lower of the cost or value as on July 15, 2013 and spread the losses over a year
- Indication of calibration of further issuance of Cash Management Bills in order to keep money market rates at around 10.25% p.a.
The above steps aimed at protecting the banking system from adverse price movement in government bonds after 15th July 2013. The Fundamental issue of rupee volatility still seems unaddressed.
Analysts feel that RBI will keep conducting more OMO Bond purchases by buying long term government bonds in order to stabilize the longer end of the curve and at the same time keep short term rates higher in order to check the volatility in the rupee.
The Benchmark 10 year Bond yield is ranging around 8.32% today and rupee is trading at 64.23 despite all the efforts.
What should an Investor Do ??
a. Conservative Investors
We believe Investors should take advantage of the recent spike in money market yields and invest in FMPs (Fixed Maturity Plans). FMP's of different time horizon like monthly, quarterly, half yearly, yearly, period of – 2 year, 3 year and five years are being launched by various fund houses. The FMPs are also tax efficient and will provide better return than a Bank Fixed deposit.
b. Moderate Investors
Moderate Investors should look at the Short and Medium Term Income Plans where the funds invest in papers ranging from 1.5 to 3 years maturity. The Investment may have some volatility but if the investor is ready to hold till maturity he can have some additional gains as interest rates are bound to soften in 1.5 to 2 years time horizon. The Moderate Investors can also consider investment in Dynamic Bond Funds, wherein the fund manager dynamically manages the duration of the portfolio.
c. Aggressive Investors
The Aggressive Investors should start building their portfolio in long term Income Funds as long term interest rates have less space to move higher as per our view. The investment will be highly volatile looking to the current circumstances but will result into good profits if the investor is patient and understands the risk well.

We are excited to announce that we have just launched our new dehydration risk test in our "Alfred SmartCare" app. Dehydration in ostomy patients is a huge risk and a leading cause for readmission into the hospital. With the Alfred SmartCare app, you can monitor your hydration levels by placing your finger over the camera and flashlight on the back of your phone. The test will use your heart rate and blood flow and answers to simple clinical questions to calculate your score. This is quick and easy and can be done anywhere at your convenience. Download the app now to take the test and measure your dehydration levels.
Download the Alfred Smartcare App today on all Android and iPhone devices. Take part in our #NEW feature, the #hydration test!
"Every morning, I start my day by using the Alfred Care app to monitor my hydration. As an ostomate, it's especially important that I keep well hydrated, but sometimes I've been inconsistent with my fluid intake. I get busy, and I forget to drink water. I used to carry around a gallon jug of water just to make sure I don't forget how much water I've had! Now I just use the app to check my hydration risk every morning. The app sets my goal for fluid intake for that day, and every time I drink fluids, I enter it into the app to keep track. I used to drink the amount of water that I thought I should before using the app. I now drink the amount that the app tells me based on my heart rate! It's fascinating how it works, and it's already improved my energy levels, reduced my risk of getting migraines, and made my skin healthier. I'm reassured that I'm far less likely to have a problem with my ostomy, due to dehydration. As a Patient Coach, I'm happy that other ostomates will benefit from this technology and be reassured that they are taking proper care of themselves."
- Katie Vyn, Ostomy Patient

Why 2020 Will Be a Horrible Year – So we've already told you why we think 2020 will be a great year, and now we are going to give you the bad news. While many people tell us the world is becoming a safer place to be, you don't have to look far to find doomsday scenarios which tell us the human race is on the brink of extinction.
Moreover, if our natural environment doesn't collapse on us, some experts tell us inequality is only going to get worse and we can probably look forward to another economic crash down the line. It's these rather depressing news stories that can make scrolling through Facebook a dire experience. When it comes to wealth inequality it just looks like things are going to get worse.
From what we can see, this trend isn't going to reverse anytime soon. One report tells us that after the 2008 financial crash this trend of widening wealth distribution went into full effect and it has been getting worse. That same report estimated that by 2030 the world's one percent will have 64 percent of global wealth. Some people have said we are at a tipping point in terms of inequality.
2020 is of course just a stepping stone towards this alleged tipping point, but we might ask if the distribution of wealth is going to widen very quickly in the next few years. You've all heard of jobs being automated and people being put out of work. U. S Presidential candidate Andrew Yang has even made this one of his big issues, what he says will be mass unemployment coming to a country near you very soon.
If you keep up with new technologies you'll know that artificial intelligence is improving all the time. How long will it be until drivers are out of work, or we no longer talk to humans on switch boards, or accountants are replaced with accounting robots? If you listen to the people who own the technology they will tell you that the displaced will just be employed in better jobs, but not everyone believes this will happen.
The good news is that some experts in the USA at least tell us that unemployment there will not change much in the coming year, but it will rise from 3. 6 percent to 3.7 percent. This was a recent forecast announced by the Federal Open Market Committee. It also said that the GDP growth in the USA in 2020 will reduce and then rise again in 2021.
If that's not bad news to you, in 2019 the New York Times wrote that the USA could face recession in 2020. It said the trade war hasn't helped matters, and so we might hold on to our hats come next year. The same article said Europe could also find itself in a mess. This is one paragraph from that story, "The European economy, which has muddled along for years with low growth, may be tumbling into a recession, and if Britain crashes out of the European Union with no exit deal on Oct. 31, Europe could face still deeper challenges".
The Guardian said the same thing, stating that the economic experts veering to the side of pessimism are saying there will be a global crash next year. The conclusion to that article sounded very ominous. It said, "London-based forecasters Fathom Consulting have penciled in a global bust for 2020. Nouriel Roubini, who can claim to be one of the few economists to forecast the last crash,also nominates 2020. That's not much time to prepare".
As for war, well, the world could be said to be less war-torn than it was in the past,but globally thousands of people are still dying in wars. The good news is that come 2020 the USA might pull its troops out of Afghanistan, but that'snot for certain in the least.
What we can definitely say is that in 2020 a lot of fighting will still be going on,and if you believe an article published in The Nation in 2019 new wars might be around the corner. Iran was mentioned as a foe to the USA, but the article also said this, "After years of slogging it out with guerrillas and jihadists across the Greater Middle East, the US military is increasingly keen on preparing to combat 'peer' competitors China and Russia".
If you look at the "National Defense Strategy of the United States of America" you'll see that indeed the U. S. is prepping its military to go against China's quickly modernizing military. The question everyone is asking is will the trade war spin out of control?We might see in 2020. A lot of people are saying 2020 is going to be a volatile year.
Forbes wrote this year, "We are vulnerable, and we'll be lucky to get through the 2020s without major damage". The three main factors for this volatility according to that article was the China-USA trade war, a technology cold war between those nations, and tensions with Iran. A technology trade war might not sound like such a bad thing, but that's what the Cold War with the USSR was and that wasn't exactly a small deal.
That article also turned to Europe, saying the continent was in a "shambles", stating that economies were slowing down and a Europe-wide recession was on its way. This article also had an ominous conclusion. The writer said, "I expect 2020 to be one of the most volatile market years of my lifetime".
As for carbon emissions, it seems 2020 might be a peak year but the hopefuls believe we can turn this around in the years after that. Still, it seems 2020 won't exactly be a good year. Then there are the people that tell us we are doomed. Listen to this headline published in the LA Times in 2019, "Climate change is already here. 2020 could be your last chance to stop an apocalypse".
The article also contained this rather depressing fact, "Last year saw a global acceleration of emissions, as total carbon levels in the atmosphere reached 414. 8 parts per million in May, the highest recorded in 3 million years. The richer human society becomes, it seems, the more we poison the world". In fact, looking at data, emissions grew just about everywhere in 2018 with Europe being the only place to see a decrease according to the International Energy Agency.
It remains to be seen how 2019 turns out because it's not over yet. Then we have countries that have seemingly split in two. In the UK, it seems the country is split in half when it comes to Brexit. If Brexit does fully take shape there are going to be a lot of upset people. It seems the animus for the other side, driven by social media, is at all time high levels.
The same goes for the USA, the divide between the right and left is stark. Can we come together to build a better world? The novelist Jonathan Franzen wrote a controversial piece in The New Yorker this year in which he said the climate apocalypse was unavoidable. This became very controversial.
Later he said in an interview that one of the reasons we can't solve modern problems is because of our online rage. After the U. S election and a possible Brexit, what might happen?Will that rage dissipate? 2020 will be a telling year. Everyone is an expert and everyone knows they are right, online at least, and we might hope that we might work together come 2020. It's unlikely this is going to happen.
2020 might be when the rage really starts firing up. Especially if economic woes lie ahead. To change the topic entirely, we'll now talk about technology. In our positive show about 2020 we said a lot of good things about technological advances, such as how they will improve healthcare drastically. Nonetheless, one of the biggest fears is that the more connected we are and the more technology advances we will lose our privacy.
As we are writing this The Guardian newspaper has a headline that tells us, "'We are hurtling towards a surveillance state". Is Big Brother on the way? Are we running into the arms of this Orwellian nightmare willingly, uncaring that soon we might be watched over all the time? Not only has facial recognition technology showed us that it can be biased against minorities, but do we really want the government scanning our faces wherever we go?
Do we not deserve some privacy, and while such technology might cut down on crime, is it worth it for losing our freedom. Let's face it, the government has done things in the past not in our interests, or should we say not in the interests of everyone. Maybe you feel like protesting, but you want to remain anonymous.
Perhaps you feel you are protesting for an ethical cause, but the government might not see it that way. Will facial recognition prevent people from speaking up? Then there's the possibility of us being watched all the time and then given points. We become like rats in a Skinner Maze, always aware that we are being looked over.
It's unlikely scoring citizens on their behavior will become a thing in most countries,but it's happening in China. In the U. S. this year San Francisco said police would not be able to use such invasive facial recognition tech because it didn't want people to feel like they were living in a police state, but this technology no doubt is going to roll out more in 2020.
In one case in the UK when facial recognition tech was used by police one woman was spotted ten times and brought in for questioning. It turned out she wasn't the person police wanted. In China if you are caught in the net it could be bad, and it's not that hard to get on the wrong side of the government.
One American critic said this about China and its surveillance tech, "They've created digital prisons using facial recognition technology. You can't use your credit card, you can't get a taxi, you can't get a bus, your mobile phone stops working". He did then say, though, "But that's China. We're not China".
Still, it will be interesting to see what happens in 2020. In some countries in Europe the tech is already in use, but the problem is the citizens didn't get a say in it and are probably unaware it's being used. According to CNBC, China is right now busy exporting a lot of its surveillance software.
If all this depresses people that's perhaps why they might abuse prescription drugs. We all know about the USA's opioid crisis, and we know some people require prescription drugs to get them off opioids. The website Statistic a tells us that 1.7 billion dollars was spent on prescription drug spending for substance use disorder treatments in 2019 in the USA alone, but it's estimated that will go up to 1.8 billion in 2020.
The opioid crisis is by no means over, and while some presidential candidates have ideas as to how to solve it, that isn't going to happen in 2020 for sure. As for the homeless, in the UK, its reported that the problem is worse than it has been in a long time. The Guardian said this in October, "A record number of homeless people died last year,in the biggest increase in deaths since reporting began, amid warnings fatalities are likely to be even higher in 2019".
Will it get any better in 2020? The good news is that the government will be investing in a homelessness plan but the bad news is that change will likely not happen in 2020. We can also look at LA in the USA, where it was reported earlier this year that homelessness is on the rise. Is there any end in sight? It doesn't seem so, and things will likely get worse in 2020.
The LA mayor said this, "These results remind us of a difficult truth: skyrocketing rents statewide and federal disinvestment in affordable housing, combined with an epidemic of untreated trauma and mental illness, is pushing people into homelessness faster than they can be lifted out". The future looks grim in 2020 for those at the bottom of the pile, but perhaps 2020 will be the breaking point and in 2021 we will have solved a lot of our problems. What do you think? Tell us in the comments.

LUBBOCK — Are Americans liberty lovers?
That was the question posed by economist and author Walter Williams to an almost full room in the Allen Theatre of the Texas Tech Student Union Building on Thursday evening. Williams is on the faculty at George Mason University and has written more than 150 publications and a syndicated weekly column carried by approximately 140 newspapers, including the Avalanche-Journal.
"We need to look at how Americans view the government," Williams said in evaluating whether Americans love liberty.
Specifically, Williams said Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to collect taxes and lays out its responsibilities. But although Congress can regulate commerce with other nations, coin money and raise and support armies, he said there is nothing in the Constitution to tax and spend on items such as farm subsidies, bank bailouts, welfare payouts or food stamps.
"I think we can safely say we've made a significant departure" from the country's original principles of freedom, Williams said, principles that he said were embodied in private ownership of property and free enterprise.
"Up to three-quarters of what is spent today is not enumerated in the Constitution," Williams said.
However, he said, attempts by taxpayers to tell the government they would only pay for those items specifically allowed in the Constitution would likely be met with threats from the government.
Williams argued that the nation's first leaders who wrote the Constitution realized the essence of government is coercion, and that government should be kept as small as possible.
But he said most Americans don't recognize that it's wrong to take money from someone and give it to someone else, and a moral reawakening is needed in this country.
And Americans have themselves to blame for the problems, he said. Anyone running for Congress who said he would not try to bring back tax dollars to the community should not be elected, he said.
"If I (a hypothetical politician) do not bring back billions and billions of dollars, it does not mean that Texans won't pay that tax. It means that Oklahoma will get it instead," Williams said.
Almost every group has decided the government owes it something, Williams said, noting that farmers want crop subsidies, manufacturers want tariffs and intellectuals want funds for research.
"It's not politicians. It's us. Politicians do exactly what we elect them to office to do," he said.
Williams said he personally believes in helping one's fellow man in need — but from his own pockets.
However, he said, "Most people are not in the business of refusing handouts."
So the answer to his question, are American liberty lovers, he said, is that perhaps not as much as they used to be.
"I don't think there's much evidence that Americans love liberty the way the founders of our nation loved it," Williams said.
He said James Madison protested an expenditure to help French refugees as "objects of benevolence," and said charity is not a legitimate function of the government.
Williams said Americans have always managed to do the right thing eventually, but they need to be making some changes and limit the government as the founders intended. The country needs a moral reawakening, he said.
"That'll be the subject of my next week's column," he said in closing his address and the question-and-answer session afterwards.

text: Pat 0 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Given the current state of things at the White House, I find this very uplifting. 'Unlike sanctuary churches, sanctuary cities aren't pursuing a public act of subversion but rather a course of non-coöperation, telling their police and jail personnel to refuse assistance to federal immigration authorities in their efforts to deport immigrants.' Chicago, Seattle and New York support the sanctuary movement dates back 34 years: "The American movement to provide sanctuary to undocumented immigrants dates back thirty-four years, to the Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson, Arizona, where the Reverend John Fife announced that his church would protect refugees fleeing the civil wars in El Salvador and Guatemala. Because the Reagan Administration supported the regimes in those two countries, it was difficult, if not impossible, for Salvadoreans and Guatemalans who felt persecuted by government forces to gain political asylum in the U.S., and harboring them was done in open defiance of the federal government. Between fifty and a hundred people stayed at the church each night, sleeping on foam pads on the floor, or on the carpet in the chapel. Volunteers provided meals, legal assistance, medical care, and English-language classes. Over ten years, Southside Presbyterian harbored thirteen thousand refugees, and some five hundred other congregations across the country ultimately joined the effort. These churches and synagogues physically protected refugees in an act of open civil disobedience." http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-limits-of-sanctuary-cities?mbid=social_twitter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not really. Well I kind of did… let's just say I made my own. After I heard about the Mega Mac coming out in Japan I began to wonder why it hadn't come out here. (probably because Americans are already too fat) So I wouldn't be satisfied until I had a Mega Mac to call my own. Hit the jump to see pictures of the beast of a burger that will probably end up giving me a heart attack because it contained a lot more calories than I should have consumed in one day.

Need a Roof? Take into Account the Following!
At no time prior in America's history have home-owners had such a range of different types of top quality, resilient and cost-effective options for roof structure materials obtainable to them for their homes. Often, the rooftop picked boils down to a blend of individual inclination, pragmatism, as well as possible future strategies for the house. To illustrate, should you be placing a rooftop upon an economical leased house which you ultimately plan to sell, you could possibly select the most affordable (not to mention shortest lasting) roof covering product, asphalt shingle roofing, precisely, organic asphalt shingles. Based upon the actual two extremes inside weather and even temperature whereby they are actually subjected to, organic asphalt roofing shingles may be estimated to get a life-span somewhere between 10 and 20 years. Organic asphalt shingles are manufactured from re-cycled felt paper that has been waterproofed by using asphalt, upon which ceramic granules are actually coated. These kind of roofing shingles were definitely the market go-to product for decades, although in the past several years happen to have been virtually surpassed by that modern, well-known, fiberglass asphalt shingles, which are usually light as well as thinner. Lots of people around colder regions nonetheless much prefer the thicker organic asphalt shingles, while in hotter environments. the fiberglass variation rules supreme.
Men and women everywhere are really prefering the metal roof coverings, just like galvalume metal roofing or even galvanized roofing shingles and/or tiles. Normally metal roof prices are a little bit more in comparison with their asphalt counterparts, and that's why future concerns for the home in question are needed. A couple that plans to live for the remainder of their own everyday lives inside the property at hand are quite well advised to acquire a new steel rooftop, or perhaps synthetic slate roofing (re-cycled and additionally reclaimed silicone and also plastic roof shingles), if pertaining to virtually no additional cause as opposed to the indisputable fact that it's probably the final roof covering they are going to possibly have to actually get installed! Synthetic slate lasts from 50-100 years, and a metal roof, based upon the particular kind of metal picked, commonly will last from 40-80. Furthermore, those two forms of substance are really recyclable.
Having asphalt shingle roof coverings, homeowners have to be heedful to check the existing rooftop on a regular basis, particularly after really bad storms. Shattered tree limbs are able to pass through a real shingled roof structure, and additionally high squalls can knock back free or perhaps vulnerable roofing tiles right off of the roofing. A metal roof covering needs little servicing even though it may gain advantage, since it ages, from regular roof cleaning along with from repainting (galvalume) once the first finish starts to wear away, which usually can take 30 or more years.
