ManpowerGroup Helps Launch The Global Business Coalition Against Human Trafficking
NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), the world leader in innovative workforce solutions, formally announced at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City today that it has partnered with eight other global companies to form the Global Business Coalition Against Trafficking, which provides businesses with tools designed to end all forms of human trafficking.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110330/CG73938LOGO-a)
"Fully engaging the corporate community is a critical step in the war to end modern-day slavery," said David Arkless, ManpowerGroup's President of Global Corporate and Government Affairs and gBCAT co-chair. "Human trafficking is a global problem which can only be eradicated by mobilizing global solutions. Corporations need to take action, get involved and become part of the solution."gBCAT will work to mobilize the expertise, resources and voices of coalition members to abolish human trafficking across industries. Founding members include: Carlson, Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines, ExxonMobil, LexisNexis, ManpowerGroup, Microsoft, NXP and Travelport. These members are committed to assisting to eradicate trafficking in supply chains where incidences of forced labor may be currently undetectable. More than 21 million slaves exist in the world today, according to the International Labor Organization. At the Clinton meeting today, President Barack Obama spoke out against human trafficking and cited gBCAT. Ending human trafficking "is one of the great human rights causes of our time," the President said. As a thought leaders' forum, gBCAT will develop and share best practices for preventing traffickers for entering a company's operations. gBCAT will pursue training modules for employees and general awareness-raising among consumers, suppliers and partners. gBCAT members will also continue collaborating with governments, NGOs and the general public to build out the cross-sector solutions which are necessary to eliminate all forms of modern slavery. ManpowerGroup has tirelessly worked for years through partner organizations such as Polaris, Verite, End Human Trafficking Now! and the U.S. Department of State to broaden the business world's awareness of how traffickers can take over a supply chain.

More than meets the eye
When I first saw the story about the conflict between the Social Science History Association (SSHA) and Duke University Press (DUP), I thought I had best not comment about it. But since then a number of my colleagues have gotten in touch with me and also made comments about the case that miss some essential elements, in my opinion. So I decided I will express my opinion about the dispute thus far, which is that there is probably no good outcome to this case.
Let me start by saying, however, that even though I work for Duke and specialize in copyright issues, I have absolutely no involvement in this case and no "insider" information. As Will Rogers said, "all I know is what I read in the papers." What I say here is my own opinion based on those reports and nothing more.
The basic facts are easy to restate. The SSHA has informed DUP that it wants to end its long-standing association and look for a different publisher for its flagship journal, Social Science History. The Press, however, asserts that language in their original contract means that the SSHA can stop participating in the journal, but cannot remove it from the control of DUP.
The first point I would make about this dispute is that it involves a specific piece of contract language that is probably unusual. For that reason I think some of the comments about how this case might determine the future for lots of other society journals are exaggerated. My guess is that this case will eventually be resolved through an interpretation of that specific language and thus, even if there is a court decision instead of a settlement, it will not have too much of a ripple effect.
Most of the comments I have seen (from librarians and academics) have assumed that Duke University Press is the bad guy here, trying to wrest control of a scholarly journal out of the hands of scholars. While I do not intend to mount a defense of DUP here, I do want to suggest that there is more to this case than a good v. evil argument about academic freedom. This is a business disagreement, and regardless of which side wins, in my opinion, it will probably not be a good outcome for scholarship.
To understand a lawsuit, it is always a good practice to ask why the plaintiff decided to file the litigation in the first place. A commenter on the Chronicle story linked above suggests that it is hard to understand in this case, since he believes the results could not justify the costs. But surely the SSHA thought it was worthwhile, and a little deeper reflection suggests why. In their statement, the SSHA explains that they wanted to "assess the open market" to find out what Social Science History is "worth." That should tell us pretty clearly that the SSHA wants to shop the journal around to the big commercial publishers in order to get a big payout to the Association. Other societies have done it before, and it seems clear that the SSHA wants to cash in on its journal. So the reason the lawsuit is worth the expense is that the SSHA has expectations of perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit if they can sell their "brand name" journal to Wiley or Sage.
By the way, this is why the society would not be satisfied to simply walk away and start up a new journal to compete with a continuing Social Science History published by DUP, as that same commentator suggests. As I said, this is a business dispute, and the key asset at issue is the brand of the journal, its "goodwill" as it is called in economic valuations. Presumably no large commercial press would be willing to pay big money for a new start-up that the SSHA might launch if it lost control over Social Science History. The marketing and the value for a new purchaser depends on that well-established title being on the auction block.
So what will be the result if the SSHA wins this lawsuit or gets control over the title in a settlement? I think the inevitable result will be a sale to a large commercial publisher and subsequently much higher subscription rates for libraries and other subscribers. In previous cases where a society has sold its journal or journals to a big publishers, we have seen prices increase by as much as three or four hundred percent, especially if the journal has had a fairly moderate price to begin with (I have no idea about the current subscription price for Social Science History). Nor do I think that a win by the SSHA would necessarily be a win for academic freedom or for keeping scholarship in the hands of scholars. If the journal is sold to a large publisher, experience suggests that the scholars who make up the society will have less control over it than they did before and that the quality of the journal will decline. But lots of money will potentially flow into the SSHA coffers.
What happens if, on the other hand, Duke University Press wins the case or otherwise retains control over the journal? In my opinion, DUP has taken the stand that it has in large part to defend the value of its journal list against the loss of one of its premier titles. So if they win, at least their journal package will not lose value. But this is still probably not a good outcome, since the journal will be divorced from its roots and from the scholarly community that has made it a valuable brand in the first place. As several people have suggested, DUP might have a hard time finding top scholars in the field who would be willing to edit the journal or review for it if it is severed from its connection to their scholarly society. So while its value for DUP would be preserved initially, I think a decline in quality and in value over time is inevitable.
This is why I find it impossible to root for either side in this dispute (even though I usually root for Duke teams). To me, this case is an object lesson in why scholarship should not be treated as a commodity around which commercial value, and the disputes that accompany such value, accrues. The radical distinction between the "gift economy" in which individual scholars work, giving away their most precious intellectual assets to publishers without remuneration for the sake of the scholarly mission, and the commercial economy in which publishers work, and to which some societies aspire, was never more clear. Whoever wins this case, the scholars who donate their labor as authors, editors and reviewers for this journal will be the long-term losers. And the only way to change that situation is to radically rethink they way scholarship is supported and disseminated. We need new business models, focused on open access and better ways to support the scholarly mission, while all this dispute offers us is a fight over the way the same old traditional pie of subscription money is sliced.

David Lewis says:
To address the questions of price and market, From Ulrich's the costs for Social Science History are as follows:
Print — USD 192.00 subscription per year to institutions (effective 2014)
Online — USD 160.00 subscription per year to institutions (effective 2014)
Print and Online — USD 200.00 combined subscription per year to institutions (effective 2014)
At my library we have access through the following aggregations:
from 10/01/1976 to 12/31/1999 in JSTOR Arts & Sciences VII Archive Collection
from 03/01/1997 to 1 year ago in Academic Search Premier (EBSCO) and SocINDEX with Full Text
from 01/01/1998 to 04/30/2000 in ProQuest Central
from Winter 1999 to present in Project MUSE – Premium Collection
from 2000 to 2011 in HighWire Press
In support of Kevin's argument we can see that Social Science History has moved in and out of various aggregator's collections — ProQuest to EBSCO and JSTOR to MUSE. So the association seems to be looking for the best deal with the aggregators and is willing to move to get it.
The interesting question to me would be since I guessing most libraries are now purchasing only the electronic version and likely doing so through one of the aggregators (in our case MUSE for the authoritative current, how much price leverage will the association or a new publisher have. I'm thinking now so much, but…
Jeffrey Beall says:
There's another possibility. Perhaps the SSHA has been enlightened by the noble work of open-access advocates and has decided to retake control of the journal and convert it to full open-access, for the good of the world.
Kevin Smith, J.D. says:
I would like to believe that is true, Jeffrey. Exactly that step was taken recently by Cultural Anthropology, and it is, I believe, a move in the right direction. But some statements from the SSHA itself make me doubt that that is what is happening here.
Jon Butler says:
I am surprised by the focus of the blog on alleged "business" issues when the blog misstates major facts of journal publication by scholarly associations.
The most surprising factual error is the assertion that scholarly journals are "sold" to publishers. This is not true, or seldom true. The journal or its scholarly association contracts with a press to "publish" the journal for a given period of time with a given financial arrangement. The journal is seldom "sold" but remains the property of the scholarly association.
The blog also neglects the specific history of the journal in question here, Social Science History. It existed prior to its publishing contract with Duke UP and originally was published by a non-profit center at the University of Pittsburgh. Duke UP is using a peculiar phrase in a renewal contract to claim that at some point the Social Science History Association effectively surrendered its property in Social Science History to Duke UP, and Duke UP also seems to be saying that the 5-year publishing contract with the SSHA has become, in effect, a contract for life with Duke UP or until the time when Duke UP is no longer interested in publishing Social Science History. It is nonsensical to think that the SSHA would have surrendered the title, Social Science History, to Duke UP or anyone WITHOUT a sale, for which a price would have been established in a sale agreement, just as sit is nonsensical to think that a 5-year contract has become a near lifetime contract.
Finally, the blog focuses in the end only on journal subscription costs for libraries and not to the context that sustains journals published by scholarly associations like the SSHA. The SSHA names the editors and editorial board of Social Science History and always has, as when my long time late friend Eric Monkkonen edited the journal in the late '80s and early 90s. The journal flourishes in good part because of the SSHA's organizational activities, especially its yearly meetings and the many networks of scholars in various fields that the SSHA has stimulated and helps sustain and which may be supported in turn by revenues that Social Science History generates, if any. Indeed, "the scholars who donate their labor as authors, editors and reviewers for this journal" that the blogger claims so much to support are the very ones who have so frequently been nourished by the SSHA, Duke UP serving as the SSHA's contracted printer and subscription manager but not the journal's owner and not the SSHA's sponsor. Indeed, the SSHA furnishes precisely the kind of non-profit support for "scholarly mission" that the blogger should admire.
True, some scholarly journals are created and published by presses. But that's not the case with Social Science History, never has been, and is the reason that so many people who know about the attempt of Duke UP to effectively claim ownership of the journal, leaving the SSHA without the journal it started and has managed since 1976, find the action by the Press so unnerving and wrong, especially in a "university press."
Michael Pye says:
Jon Butler writes:
"It is nonsensical to think that the SSHA would have surrendered the title, Social Science History, to Duke UP or anyone WITHOUT a sale, for which a price would have been established in a sale agreement, just as sit is nonsensical to think that a 5-year contract has become a near lifetime contract."
It may seem nonsensical, but unfortunately this is just what has been happening all the time in recent years, as publishers race to assemble packages of journals for sale to the libraries electronically, while the scholars don't realise what's being done to them. The agreements seem innocuous until suddenly a question of control arises (e.g. who appoints and sacks the editors), and then it's too late. In this case the phrase "participating in the journal" was fatal and should never have been signed in the case of a journal once belonging to a scholarly body.
Jon Butler says:
With due respect, the argument assumes the legitimacy of using the phrase "participating in a journal" to justify the equivalent of silently selling an academic association's journal to the press that the association had hired to print its journal without explicit statements to that effect. Duke UP might want its journals to publish articles about Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, but one could have hoped that the Press wasn't using Dickens' case as a model for its own litigation.
Michael Pye says:
To Jon Butler. I'm not sure if I quite understood your point. The problem undoubtedly is/will be that "participating in a journal" is not self-evidently the same as owning it. Having let that phrase go through as indicating the normal state of affairs, it may be inferred by others (unfortunately) that "ownership" was not asserted.
Jon Butler says:
You may be right that "'participating in a journal' is not self-evidently the same as owning it." But the effect is the same, since Duke UP insists that the phrase means that the SSHA agreed that the Press surrendered the right to seek a new publisher without Duke UP's permission and if this doesn't happen, the SSHA would need to abandon the title of the journal to Duke UP without having been compensated for doing so.
What's shocking about this is Duke UP's exceptionally "sharp" legal maneuvering that smacks more of Dickens's Jarndyce v Jarndyce than of a reputable scholarly publisher. Based on this, what adviser could suggest that a student publish a book with Duke UP given the Press's insistence on turning an obscure phrase in a contract into claims that effectively removed the author's interests in what he or she had written? And the reference to Jarndyce v Jarndyce is more than relevant because, like that case, in which legal proceedings exhausted the inheritance, the Press is forcing exceptional legal expenses on a small, non-profit scholarly association to defend its rights in a journal that it founded.

- 0Apr 7, '02 by susanmaryBelieve it is $21-22 range in the Hartford area plus differentials. My facility has excellent differentials -- 15% evenings, 25% straight nights, 25% weekends. Often loan forgiveness (most likely a portion), hiring bonus, tuition reimbursement, etc. Cost of living is very expensive. New grads -- you are more valuable than you realize -- negotiate the best offer you can in the facility that is the best "fit" for you.

Fixed Port L3 Managed Ethernet Switches
HP 5900 Switch Series
Posebna ponuda: Posebne ponude:
- Image may differ from actual product.
- The HP 5900 Switch Series is a family of high-density, ultra-low-latency, top-of-rack (ToR) switches that is part of the HP FlexNetwork architecture's HP FlexFabric solution. Ideally suited for deployment at the server access layer of large enterprise data centers, the HP 5900 Switch Series is also powerful enough for deployment at the data center core layer of medium-sized enterprises.
With the increase in virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic, customers now require ToR switch innovations that will meet their needs for higher-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic, the capability to handle virtual environments, and ultra-low-latency all in a single device.
Quality of Service (QoS)
- Powerful QoS features: Flexible classification: creates traffic classes based on access control lists (ACLs), IEEE 802.1p precedence, IP, and DSCP or Type of Service (ToS) precedence; supports filter, redirect, mirror, remark, and logging. Feature support: provides support for Strict Priority Queuing (SP), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR), SP+WDRR together, configurable buffers, Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED).
Data center optimized
- Flexible high port density: the HP 5900 Switch Series enables scaling of the server edge with 1 GbE and 10GbE ToR deployments to new heights with high-density 48-port solutions delivered in a 1RU design; the high server port density is backed by 40 GbE QSFP+ uplinks to deliver the availability of needed bandwidth for demanding applications; each 40 GbE QSFP+ port can also be configured as four 10GbE ports by using a 40-GbE-to-10GbE splitter cable
- High-performance switching: cut-through and nonblocking architecture delivers low latency (~1 microsecond for 10GbE) for very demanding enterprise applications; the switch delivers high-performance switching capacity and wire-speed packet forwarding
- Higher scalability: HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology simplifies the architecture of server access networks; up to nine HP 5900 switches can be combined to deliver unmatched scalability of virtualized access layer switches and flatter two-tier networks using IRF, which reduces cost and complexity
- Advanced modular operating system: Comware v7 software's modular design and multiple processes bring native high stability, independent process monitoring, and restart; the OS also allows individual software modules to be upgraded for higher availability and supports enhanced serviceability functions like hitless software upgrades with single-chassis ISSU
- TRILL and EVB/VEPA: TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) is supported to increase the scale of enterprise data centers; Edge Virtual Bridging with Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (EVB/VEPA) provides connectivity into the virtual environment for a data center-ready environment
- Full-featured console: provides complete control of the switch with a familiar CLI
- Troubleshooting: Ingress and egress port monitoring: enable network problem solving. Traceroute and ping: enable testing of network connectivity.
- Multiple configuration files: allow multiple configuration files to be stored to a flash image
- sFlow (RFC 3176): provides wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring
- SNMP v1, v2c and v3: facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices
Resiliency and high availability
- HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology: enables an HP FlexFabric to deliver resilient, scalable, and secured data center networks for physical and virtualized environments; groups up to nine HP 5900 switches in an IRF configuration, allowing them to be configured and managed as a single switch with a single IP address; simplifies ToR deployment and management, reducing data center deployment and operating expenses
- IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol: increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links
- IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees
- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP): allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments

Q: I went for accupunture treatment for vertigo and had 8 sessions. I developed pain in my lower abdomen and pain while urinating. Could it be a result of accupunture, or just a coincidence?
A:Our first reaction is that this is probably a coincidence, but it never pays to be over-assertive without a great deal of information to go on. Much would depend on where the needles were inserted and what kind of manipulation was applied to them. There are no standard treatments for vertigo, and the phrase we frequently use, that we treat the person not the condition, could mean that the needles were applied anywhere depending on your overall balance.
What we can say with certainty, however, is that adverse events after acupuncture are rare, and where these do happen, the vast majority are minor and transient, i.e. only lasting a day or two at most and generally speaking things like a mild headache or feeling slightly unwell. Longer term problems are extremely unusual, and would have to involve physical damage to body tissues. For this to happen it would probably mean being very conscious of the injury as it happened. UK practitioners all use pre-sterilised one-use disposable needles and are thoroughly trained in safe needling, so the chances of infection from the needling are very small.
Whatever the cause, however, it is important that you seek treatment with your GP promptly. Although these are not in themselves what we would call 'red flag' symptoms requiring urgent medical attention, the pain in the lower abdomen and painful urination suggest a possible infection or mild inflammation. This needs to be checked so that appropriate treatment can be arranged. If there is any suggestion that the treatment may have been responsible this can be followed up later.
Q: Do you know of a dentist in London who practices acupuncture and offers NHS treatment? I don't mind where in London as long as I find one.
A: If you are looking for someone who incorporates the use of acupuncture into their dental work, the best bet is to contact the British Dental Acupuncture Society. However, we have had a few problems trying to locate them of late, their web address not seeming to work. It may be worthwhile contacting the British Medical Acupuncture Society with whom many dentists undertake training. This group can be contacted at www.medical-acupuncture.co.uk.
The majority of dental treatments are for calming the gag reflex rather than managing pain through the consultation. It is possible that anyone trained by the BMAS may have wider skills to hand, the only requirement for training being a registrant of a statutorily regulated healthcare profession, but whether they are entitled to treat conditions other than dental pain is something you would have to explore with them. The text on one of the dental insurers' sites is very useful in this respect:
Q. I am a dental hygienist with training in acupuncture. Am I allowed to use these techniques in the dental setting and do I need any additional indemnity?
There are some aspects of the provision of dental treatment that the General Dental Council's Scope of Practice simply does not cover. Acupuncture would be a good example. In the past the GDC has been a little cautious about its use in dentistry, presumably because they are not quite sure where it fits in. The use of holistic medicine and hypnosis would be other good examples. This lack of clarity from the GDC is not helpful, although they would probably argue that there does have to be a point where the scope of practice has to be at the registrant's discretion.
If a registrant is to consider using these techniques, they would need to demonstrate that they are competent to do so and have acquired the necessary training. A training course run for DCPs by a UK dental hospital would probably be regarded as appropriate training.
The difficulty would be how you might decide to use this additional skill in the dental surgery. As a hygienist, using acupuncture as some form of relaxation technique would not seem unreasonable. If you intended using acupuncture for the treatment of TMJ dysfunction this would be quite a different matter. For obvious reasons this type of treatment is a long way outside the scope of practice for a hygienist.
The use of acupuncture for a condition that was unrelated to dentistry would also be unacceptable. Indeed it would be necessary to ensure that a clear distinction was made between this alternative practice and the practice of dentistry. You could not, for example, advertise yourself as being a hygienist and in some way give additional credence to the treatment you provide from your GDC registration. On these occasions you would need to obtain additional indemnity from another provider.
There are overlaps which tend to complicate matters even further. It is, for example, the duty of all clinicians to provide advice on smoking cessation and to encourage patients to give up the habit. In the past, acupuncture (rather like hypnosis) has been shown to be quite successful in this respect. It is debatable whether the use of acupuncture in such a way is part of the practice of dentistry, or outside the dental field.
From Dental Protection's point of view, provided you are using acupuncture as part of dental treatment, there is no particular difficulty in relation to recieving an indemnity as a benefit of dental membership. This may change in the future if the GDC should decide that it falls outside the scope of practice for a hygienist.
Any DCP members finding themselves in a similar situation are invited to contact Dental Protection for advice.
We have done a brief web search for a dentist using acupuncture on the NHS in London and come up with nothing,so it may well be only through direct enquiry that you manage to locate someone. In this context it may well be worth contacting Guy's dental school http://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/our-services/dental/overview.aspx. They offer emergency cover at all times and often seem to be in the forefront of new dental services. It may well be that someone there could advise you.
Q: I had a session of acupuncture to relieve some pain and inflammation. The acupuncturist I saw used points on my left hand and arm (close to the wrist). During the treatment I felt a heavy pain moving up and down my arm which was quite uncomfortable. When I got back home my wrist and hand swelled up and was painful. Today the symptoms remain the same . Should I worry or contact a doctor?
A: The short answer is, 'no, you shouldn't worry' but 'yes, you should see your doctor.'
Without knowing exactly what kind of acupuncture you had (traditional acupuncture according to Chinese Medicine principles or acupuncture from a doctor or physio) it's a little difficult to say with certainty what the heavy sensation was. There is a specific sensation elicited by the use of needles in traditional Chinese acupuncture which is called 'deqi', and which feels like a dull aching sensation which can travel along one of the channels in which the energy, or 'qi', flows. In China this is a sensation which the practitioner works hard to elicit, and many Chinese patients will not regard themselves as having been treated unless they feel this. In the West there is less insistence on making this happen, and often a greater use of Japanese needling techniques which cause little tangible sensation. If deqi occurs it is usually a good sign that the practitioner has managed to get things moving.
However, the wrist and hand swelling up is a little more of concern. The chances that there is an infection are remote. Most practitioners use pre-sterilised one-use disposable needles, and unless by a rare chance something was transferred from the skin surface to deeper tissue, there is unlikely to be an infection,. If there were the hand would be hot as well as swollen and quite clearly inflamed. The more likely possibility is that there has been some local bruising, possibly below the skin surface and not necessarily visible, which has caused some form of obstruction in the flow of blood and lymph tissue. The condition called carpal tunnel syndrome, which involved impingement of the nerves in the wrist near where your needles were inserted, can sometimes generate this as a symptom. In all probability the swelling will go down shortly.
However, with problems like this it is always safer to err on the side of caution, and we would advise you to make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible for both reassurance and for immediate treatment should it turn out to be more significant. Doctors do not mind being consulted where something is unclear, and nobody benefits from a symptom being allowed to run unchecked for any longer than is necessary.
It may be useful to ask the practitioner exactly what points were used and where. This will certainly help the doctor to be able to diagnose what is happening
Q: I have had problems with TMJ for approx 4 months. My dentist has now fitted me with a splint which I am building up to wearing day and night .Would accupuncture help with this problem?
A: We have produced a factsheet on facial pain which focuses heavily on tempero-mandibular pain
and the evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment is reasonable.
A great deal depends on the initial cause of the TMJ disorder. In many cases this may be a result of dental work itself, not least because some of the more difficult operations like root canal work and wisdom tooth extraction involve some considerable force being applied to what is a relatively unstable joint. This is not to blame dentists, though - it's just a possible risk of treatment like any other.
In Chinese medicine proper function determines structure, that is, if everything is working the way it should be, then the body will assume its proper shape. There are ways of analysing the flow of energies on the face and head which reveal whether they have been disrupted and whether treatment might reinstate them to good effect. This expert has certainly managed to deal with number of cases by using local treatment and on occasion used a much more systemic treatment when it is clear that the problem has been able to happen because of a generic weakness which has given rise to a local symptom because the musculature of the body was not as resilient as it should be.
However, that said, the people who may be able to offer the most direct help are cranial osteopaths. In this specialised sub-system of osteopathy, the TMJ is a central part of the focus of attention. The average osteopath's knowledge of treating it on a regular basis will far exceed the average acupuncturist's. That is not to say that acupuncture treatment may not be able to offer you some help. In fact, we would still recommend that you visit a BAcC member local to you for advice and an honest assessment of what they can do, and if they believe that referral to a local osteopath is a better bet, you will no doubt get a named referral, which is always better than picking a name at random out of a book.
Don't, though, under-estimate the value of advice from your dentist himself or herself. Many now offer much more comprehensive advice about the management of these issues, and often work closely with other professionals around them to provide joined-up care for their patients.
Q: My boyfriend had acne when he was younger and took acutane for that. While the acne went away, it left him with considerable nerve damage where he had a constant burning sensation on his face and scalp. The western medicine doctors say that it is because the medicine has made the nerve endings extra sensitive. The only relief that they recommend is painkillers, which is not working effectively either. Can acupuncture help with this? He used the acne medication 12 years ago and has been in chronic pain since.
A: This is a difficult question to answer. A great deal depends on the physical damage to the nerve endings caused by the drug, if this is indeed the cause of the problem. Chinese medicine has its limitations, as does any system of medicine, and if something has been damaged beyond repair, the best that one can hope for is a reduction in the severity of the symptoms.
On this score there may be some cause for hope. As our factsheets on chronic pain and neuropathic pain show
there is a fairly extensive body of evidence suggesting that acupuncture treatment may be helpful in reducing the severity of pain . While this is not conclusive, i.e. we can't say with certainty that treatment will help, pain management with acupuncture has been one of the most heavily researched areas since President Nixon's visit to China in the mid 70s and the remarkable photos of people having operations with needles alone. The markers for pain and pain control are easily measured, making it a very easy area to test. The main question is how much pain relief and how sustainable. If the relief is temporary and only ever reaches the same levels, then it becomes as much a financial problem as anything else - is the level of relief for the time it happens worth the expense?
However, from a Chinese medicine perspective there are other ways of understanding what is happening which may offer some hope. The theory of acupuncture is based on an understanding of the body mind and emotions as a flow of energy called 'qi', pronounced 'chee'. In very simplistic terms when the flow is deficient, excessive or blocked, pain results, and the skill of the practitioner lies in determining where best to treat to restore flow. This is particularly interesting when people present with scar tissue after operations or accidents where there is a literal break in the flow which is not always restored as the body recovers. It is just possible that the scarring which acne can cause has left some local disruption of flow as a legacy, and this might offer another avenue to explore.
The best solution, as we say on nearly every occasion, is to visit a BAcC member local to you for advice on the basis of a brief face to face assessment. Most members are more than happy to give up a little time without charge to cast an eye over a problem before committing to treatment.

Crumpling up a piece of paper, and attempting to toss it into a wastebasket across the room without getting up is deemed a sport. Failure to get a basket will often derive many comebacks and general bad attitude that can follow a man or woman around. In fiction, the competency of the thrower is often directly proportional to how well that character does at other things. Most of the time there will be a pile surrounding the basket of missed previous tries. If it's a literal waste basket, you can see more inside, unless the character is really a terrible shot. Often shown as a part of a Writer's Block Montage. This is also, of course, Truth in Television, to the extent that one can buy miniature backboards and nets to hang over the bin.

Retailers to work overtime to help bottom line
Updated On: Dec 10 2013 08:01:52 AM CST

There are only 14 shopping days until Christmas.
They face a tough task of getting people inside their stores to spend money to help their bottom line.
Businesses are coping with a one-two punch.
Thanksgiving was much later, cutting into the ever important holiday shopping season.
The snow and ice didn't help either.
It kept shoppers away.
With just two weekends left until Christmas, retailers have some catching up to do.

Hardcover: £37.00/46,00€/A$63.00
This book surveys current archaeological and historical thinking about the dimly understood characteristics of daily life in Great Britain during the fifth and sixth centuries.
Arthurian legends are immensely popular and well known despite the lack of reliable documentation about this time period in Britain. As a result, historians depend upon archaeologists to accurately describe life during these two centuries of turmoil when Britons suffered displacement by Germanic immigrants. Daily Life in Arthurian Britain examines cultural change in Britain through the fifth and sixth centuries—anachronistically known as The Dark Ages—with a focus on the fate of Romano-British culture, demographic change in the northern and western border lands, and the impact of the Germanic immigrants later known as the Anglo-Saxons. The book coalesces many threads of current knowledge and opinion from leading historians and archaeologists, describing household composition, rural and urban organization, food production, architecture, fashion, trades and occupations, social classes, education, political organization, warfare, and religion in Arthurian times. The few available documentary sources are analyzed for the cultural and historical value of their information.
Deborah J. Shepherd, PhD, is instructor of anthropology and archaeology at Anoka-Ramsey Community College in Coon Rapids, MN and postdoctoral associate at the Center for Medieval Studies at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus. Her published works include "Archaeology and the Social Meaning of Bearing Weapons in Anglo-Saxon Society before the Christian Conversion" published in Ancient Warfare and Funerary Ritual and Symbolism. She has excavated in Germany, Sweden, and at English sites in Hampshire and Cumbria. Shepherd has been awarded a Fulbright scholarship and received degrees from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA; University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA; and University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus.

Charging a fee for a preferred status is a fundamental flaw of the business model and constitutes a major conflict of interest. When the business incentive is to get a greater number of sellers ranked in order to boost revenues, that will invariably result in lax controls on their rating system.
If Alibaba makes good the customers that were defrauded (as it must), I don't see why it should be damaging to the business in the long term.
The value of a trusted intermdediary is greater in a country with an immoral business environment (as shown by repeated scandals such as the sale of toxic/fake baby milk, fake eggs, poisonous rice etc) and weak mechanisms of legal redress. Paradoxically, the Alibaba scandal only reinforces that equation.
Mind you, the story is a fascinating insight into the state of commercial ethics in China. No surprise that there are thousands of fraudsters out there eager to use the Internet to find suckers. But the company's own sales people, including managers and supervisors, were helping them? Destroying their own business and the rice bowl of their colleagues for the sake of a few kickbacks? Amazing.
Agree with @Bardamu that it should not be damaging to the business in the long term. The company is courageous to come forth with this when the problem only included (in 2010) ~1,200 members out of over 120,000 paid China Gold Supplier members (not to forget there are also over 650,000 paid China TrustPass members). It shows how determined the company is with making integrity on its platform a priority.
A note to Economist's article. DH Gate is not exactly a "new rival" - it's been around for a while, and it charges anywhere around 5% of gross transaction value. Alibaba already had introduced its similar transaction platform AliExpress in 2010, and apparently had surpassed DH Gate within a year of launch.
