• We examined 58 surgical patients with two or more blood cultures positive for Staphylococcus epidermidis to determine factors associated with risk, mortality, and invasive sepsis. Bacterial sepsis was associated with gastrointestinal (GI) operations, total parenteral nutrition, and a regimen of two or more parenteral antibiotics. Mortality was 46% overall and significantly Increased with age greater than 50 years, GI operations, other gram-positive sepsis, recurrent sepsis (positive blood culture 24 hours or more after the first blood culture), and the presence of organisms sensitive to three or less antibiotics. Antibiotic therapy appropriate for more than 50% of the S epidermidis organisms cultured from each patient resulted in significant reduction in mortality. Staphylococcus epidermidis should be considered a significant pathogen in critically ill surgical patients. Invasive S epidermidis sepsis can be recognized and requires specific antibiotic therapy.

Long before jump shots became common and trivial, portrait photographer Philippe Halsman came up with the idea of "jumpology" and took some of the most interesting photos of people mid-leap. Among his celebrity "jumpers" are the Duke and Duchess of Windsor whom he photographed in 1956.1 1 Share Tweet

The Robert Ivey Ballet Company and Annex are teaming up with the Charleston County School of the Arts (SOA) Orchestra and local visual artists for the third annual multidisciplinary arts performance "Fascinations 3.0." This year the audience will witness an even more significant transformation – that of the Robert Ivey Ballet Company into "Charleston City Ballet," to become Charleston's own ballet company, continuing to provide a permanent home for the open arts platform that "Fascinations" has brought to life for three years.
When homegrown musicians and dancers share the stage with emerging local artists, the result is nothing short of a sensory feast. Five musical pieces will be paired with original choreography and custom artwork to create a mixed repertoire sure to satisfy the appetites of art lovers of all tastes.
Earning an "Excellent" rating on TripAdvisor 2013, one reviewer said of Fascinations 2.0, "It is just that – fascinating! A masterful blend of live music, dance and visual arts provides an evening of enthralling entertainment. In keeping with the European tradition, the orchestra is on stage with the dancers, not tucked away out of sight. While one would think it might be distracting, it actually brings even more energy to what is already a powerful performance."
In Fascinations 3.0, dancers from the Robert Ivey Ballet Company and Annex will perform classical and neoclassical ballet with a splash of modern dance for good measure. Directed by Michael and Olga Wise, dancers will perform en corps, in pas de deux and in solos.
The SOA Orchestra will be directed by Dr. Christopher Selby, featuring selections from Dvorak's "Symphony No. 8," Bizet's "L'Arlesienne" Suite #2, Tchaikovsky's "Symphony No. 5," Corigliano's "Voyage" and Glinka's Overture to "Russlan und Ludmilla." Before each piece, an introductory video will show how the collaborators achieved synthesis of their art forms.
Shows begin at 8 p.m. at Sottile Theatre, 66 George St., Charleston, S.C. Tickets are available through Brown Paper Tickets or at the door one hour before show time.

The U.S. Department of Defense has officially ended its long time policy of forcibly discharging troops with disabling injuries. In the past, the policy was to grant an honorable discharge, a pension (a percentage of the soldiers pay, at the time, commensurate with the degree of disability) and a transfer to the Veterans Administration (who would deal with further rehabilitation and any health problems.) Many such veterans did return to work for the Department of Defense, but as civilians. Disabled veterans were always given preference in such jobs, and sometimes the veteran ended up doing the same job. But dramatic advances in medicine, and artificial limbs and similar devices, have made it possible, and more practical, to keep many of the disabled soldiers in uniform. While many disabled troops still take the pension and leave, most want to stay.

Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in Portugal have cordoned off an area of scrubland amid mounting speculation that they are about to start a digging operation.
The area, in Praia da Luz on the Algarve where three-year-old Madeleine disappeared in May 2007, was taped off and local police officers were seen milling about with dogs.

Digging to begin in hunt for Maddie
Police have been given permission to start digging at sites in a Portuguese resort where British toddler Madeleine McCann went missing in 2007.
Scotland Yard, which is carrying out its own investigation into what happened to Madeleine, said the force was "not prepared to give a running commentary" about the case.
The apparent development came two weeks after Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley from Scotland Yard said officers are working through every credible line of inquiry in the search for the missing girl.
"In the forthcoming weeks we are going to be going to a substantial phase of operational activity on the ground in Portugal," he said.
"It's something that you would expect in any major inquiry.
"A thorough serious crime investigation works systematically through all the credible possibilities, and often in an investigation you will have more than one credible possibility.
"Therefore, just because we're doing a substantial phase of work in the forthcoming week doesn't mean that it's going to immediately lead to answers that will explain everything."
The Portuguese have also re-opened their inquiry into Madeleine's disappearance and while they are working with the UK force, they have refused to set up an official joint investigation.
The area cordoned off on Monday has been searched before.
One line of inquiry for Scotland Yard is a lone male paedophile who staged a series of sex attacks on young British girls while they were on holiday in the Algarve.

Take care of your little bun in the oven by taking care of yourself. It's often hard to maintain a proper nutritional balance during pregnancy' especially if your nutrition wasn't the best before hand. However' that's why prenatal vitamins like Zahler's Prenatal + DHA are formulated - to help expecting mothers get the nutrition both they and their babies need.
Zahler's kosher prenatal vitamins with DHA feature numerous essential nutrients like B vitamins' Iodine' and Calcium. Calcium is integral for a woman's health because it ensures bone density and overall bone health. During pregnancy' the same applies to the expecting mother's baby; proper calcium levels help ensure the bone development and structure of the baby's bones.
These kosher prenatal vitamins are also formulated with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). This omega-3 fatty acid has been suggested by some studies and research to possibly contribute to the healthy development of the baby's brain and eyes.
Zahler is proud to say that all their formulations—including Prenatal + DHA Softgels—are certified kosher in accordance with Jewish dietary laws. However' it's not just their ingredients that are kosher; everything from the tablet binders to the stabilizing agents are kosher as well.
Not only do we at PureFormulas offer you a great Customer Happiness Team that is ready to assist you in your online shopping experience' but we also proudly offer free standard shipping for all orders.
Zahler holds itself to a few' but very powerful guidelines. They believe in purity. That's why their formulations feature pure ingredients straight from nature; that means no artificial colorants or additives. They formulate their products by this code because they believe that ingredients closer to nature yield better nutritional content. All Zahler formulations are rooted in up to date and relevant research' bringing you not only pure' natural ingredients' but potentially affective formulations as well. Zahler also prides themselves on providing products that are certified kosher.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These products are not meant to diagnose' treat or cure any disease or medical condition.

Terrific Prenatal!
The DHA in it is an extra bonus to the regular prenatal supplement. I take this one because they say DHA is extremely important for a child's brain development. Besides for that this is one company I can surely trust due to the great outcome I've seen from some of their other vitamins. I would definitely recommend it to any pregnant or breastfeeding mom

Great prenatal.
I really like Prenatal +DHA Premium by Zahler, specifically for the real folate (not synthetic folic acid) and the additional DHA (I contacted the company to ensure there was in fact folate). They are large pills, but are easy to take, and I take one in the morning and one in the night. The only time this pill has added to my morning sickness was when I mistakenly took my morning pill on an empty stomach. No other issues, though! Zahler seems to be a great company that is ethically and morally run. I would recommend this to others!
Real folate, added DHA, easy to take.

Excellent Prenatal!
I like Prenatal + DHA Premium by Zahler because it contains real folate as opposed to synthetic folic acid. It lists folic acid on the label because that's recognizable to most people but it's indeed folate (I contacted the company). I love that it has DHA as well. This pill is easy to take in 2 daily doses, and does not make me feel sick or with a bad aftertaste. I really like that it doesn't have fillers and other unnecessary ingredients like most generic prenatals.
Quality ingredients No side effects.

Music is the basic and necessary foundation in life. For most of people, it plays a crucial part to have a better motivation. It is even called the thing that they cannot remain in shortage. In other word, music is the stream of life. It brings us passion and new wind to solve problems which we have to face it day by day. Just like the meal we enjoy every day, music also has its unique taste could not be refused. In my point of view, it is aroma and flavor of music. Like making a dish, music has its own ingredients and a recipe. And of course, we need a device to get started; it is the best record players. Let's go to the kitchen to figure out how to make the variously delicious dish together. Right now!
The same ingredients but different chefs
- By using the only one musical theory, musical sheets have been becoming more and more popular in the world. It is easily read by all musicians and scholars who know the theory.
- Besides, it has had a variety of remarkable works since the beginning of time. Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin are not the weird names in our minds. The talented composers left us a huge treasure with thousands of valuable compositions and created a strongly musical revolution at their current era. Each composer has their own ways to compose a song. It is also the causes for the unique and the diversity of musical dishes.
The dishes are tasty or not depending on a certain individual
Different people have different ideas about anything in life. Music is not the exception for that. No matter how light or strong impacts on humans; it is true when saying that music is a necessary thing of people need. It would be a common thing when a person thought that a song was so nice whereas the other person thought it was not good.
As the same way a person choosing his food, the things he might consider base on the taste of that kind of food. The choice of songs has the same process. Once again, to compose a song also need to be carefully prepared to reach the total satisfaction. As before cooking, a chef has to make a mindset. Musicians always prepare the main ideas to satisfy their audients for the most beautiful melodies.
Music and Personality
The beautiful present of man intellect and esthetics made available for us creates these wonderful sounds combined by rhythms, lyrics, melodies, verses, harmony and riffs which nourishes people's personality when composed well. However, every thing has two sides. Music also has its negative impact named bad nutrition. A melody that is intended to be confusing, offensive and misleading will become the sample example. A part of us call it art yet to most it is the plain crap. So, the good hungers for music need to be combined with appropriate choice and precautions.
It is fluctuated when talking about the musical experience of human. On average, a person listens to music 7 hours per day. By exposing to music, people tend to be impacted by the messages of songs bring to and might lead to affect on their own personality. Each person has a different method to enjoy the songs and also has a vary absorption from music. It is the truth when claiming that music likes a crucial dish in our life.
Go to the Kitchen and Prepare Your Own Dish
- Is it a great idea to make my own compositions?
- If the answer is yes, what should I do now?
- Where should I get started?
These might the questions happening in your mind. I would like to recommend you to begin with learning how to read a musical sheet. By simply, join to a musical center or find a great music tutor that helps you learn fast the basic musical theory. Another one need to prepare is the essential device includes the high quality musical instrument and the best record players which help you listen again your performances. This might be the simple way to make a song. No matter who you are, where you live and how old you are, crating your own songs always an interesting idea to color your life. Hope you succeed with the first composition and enjoy it on your own ways.

I'm sorry, I'm still stuck on:
"Proto, do you like Froot Loops?" "No, I don't like things that sweet in the morning." "Well, my MOMMY gives me Froot Loops and I'm going to tell her you think she feeds me bad food."
Oh my. I would be afraid to open my mouth in front of this child! She's a tough one to be around. I must be out of shape when it comes to this stuff. FWIW, I think you guys handled it the right way. The phone call could have led to getting that car seat out and it could have turned into a real interesting night/morning. Also, if you think the ex isn't too accepting of your marriage, wait until the (maybe) new baby comes along. Good luck on all counts!
I'd let her call. For one thing if the custodial agreement specifically states unlimited phone access then she could take you to court for contempt on that one. But also to this day I know that if I wake up at 3 am from a bad dream and feel compelled to call my mom, she will welcome that call - and I turned 40 this year!
Bottom line: I'm unconditionally available 24/7 to my daughter, but I do trust my ex's judgment as far as what will result in the least upset to DD.

I am a Human Development major at California State University, East Bay and as part of my senior thesis I am conducting a survey to develop a better understanding of the effect (if any) that portable electronic devices and social media sites have on the attachment between a parent and child. Technology has made leaps and bounds, yet this type of research is scarce and your participation is needed to explore this field of study. If you are a parent of a child between 1 to 5 years of age and you use a portable electronic device and/or utilize social media sites while caring for your child I invite you to take this short survey. If you have more than one child within the age range of 1 to 5 years old, please complete one survey for each child. It will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
Your participation in this survey will be completely voluntary and anonymous. You have the right to stop taking the survey at any point. The survey will ask you questions about your portable computer habits, internet use, and your feelings and perceptions about the attachment between you and your child. If you are uncomfortable sharing this information, feel free to decline the invitation to participate.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this survey, I encourage you to contact Professor Hoag at email@example.com. You can also contact me directly via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for your participation! Here is a link to the survey:

QUEBEC - Police in riot gear clashed with protesters in a haze of tear gas Friday as leaders of the Western Hemisphere's 34 democracies sought to advance plans to create the world's largest free-trade zone.
President Bush, attending his first international summit, held out the promise of a region of 800 million people "that is both prosperous and free." Yet Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez complained that many of the lofty goals set at a similar summit in 1994 have not been met.
Quebec City was tense and largely sealed off under tight security as the third Summit of the Americas got under way with arrival ceremonies, opening festivities and clashes between police and protesters.
Demonstrators tore down some sections of the concrete and chain-link security barricade near the summit site and pelted police officers in riot gear with cans, bottles, hockey pucks, rocks and stuffed animals. Police officers, who lobbed canisters of tear gas at the protesters, formed a line and marched on the demonstrators to force them back.
The summit drew an alliance of labor, environmental and human rights organizations and student activists in protest of the free-trade plan, capitalism and globalization.
"If they are protesting because of free trade, I'd say I disagree," Bush said. "I think trade is very important to this hemisphere. Trade not only helps spread prosperity but trade helps spread freedom."
The disruptions caused a delay of at least an hour in the summit's opening ceremony. They also fouled up Bush's plans to meet his counterparts in small groups.
Bush met with Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien as scheduled, but waited to begin his first huddle with Andean leaders for some 20 minutes because the presidents of Brazil and Bolivia could not make it through the security lockdown. Both joined the meeting later. Bush's meeting with seven Central American heads of state also was thrown off schedule.
And a meeting with leaders from Caribbean nations had to be canceled when they were unable to get to his hotel through the protests and tear gas, Bush aides said. Bush watched some of the street demonstrations on television in his hotel room.
Chavez, after meeting with Bush, said the goals of the 1994 summit in Miami had not been realized. "We have advanced very little - almost not at all - in the social objectives," Chavez said. "From Miami, they said we had to fight without rest for the education of children. But now there are more children without schools than before in Latin America and the Caribbean."
Seeking to prevent a repeat of violent demonstrations that shut down a 1999 international trade conference in Seattle, thousands of police and troops stood guard and merchants boarded up their shops.
While all 34 summit countries have endorsed the goal of a free-trade zone stretching from the Arctic Circle to Cape Horn, differences remain as to the pace and terms of this economic integration.
Still, "This is a remarkable achievement, one that would have been unthinkable just 15 years ago," Bush said on the White House lawn as he left Washington.
He noted that every nation in the hemisphere except Cuba is now a democracy. Cuban leader Fidel Castro was not invited to the gathering.
Bush received a red-carpet welcome at Quebec's airport, with red-jacketed Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers standing at attention in a brisk wind. Then, he was whisked by military helicopter into the secured area of the city.
"We are seeking new markets, to increase our business and generate new jobs," Colombian President Andres Pastrana told reporters. He said free-trade could help ease drug trafficking in his country.
It was Bush's second international trip. His first was in February to Mexico.
Bush campaigned on elevating the importance of Latin America and has made a free-trade zone a top foreign policy goal.

Remarkable advances have been made in recent years in the science and technology of these processes used to synthesize, characterize, and apply these materials processed under non-equilibrium conditions. Some of these techniques have evolved from laboratory curiosity to commercial-scale manufacturing in just a few years. In other cases, industrial necessity prompted development of the technology, and the science followed later.
The chapters in this book have been written by people who are world-recognized experts in their respective fields. Each chapter describes the principles, processing techniques, special features of the materials produced, and their applications. An extensive list of references is provided at the end of each chapter that will facilitate location of additional information on specific aspects of any technique.
Professor Suryanarayana has published more than 250 technical papers in the areas of rapid solidification, mechanical alloying, innovative synthesis/processing techniques, metallic glasses, quaiscrystals, and nanostructures and has authored/edited 10 technical books. The most recent one was an undergraduate textbook on "X-Ray Diffraction: A Practical Approach" being published by Plenum Publishing Corporation. The major emphasis of his research investigations has been on synthesis-structure-property relationships. He extensively makes use of transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques for materials characterization.
Professor Suryanarayana received numerous awards including the National Metallurgist's Day award of the Government of India, the Pandya Silver Medal of the Indian Institute of Metals, and the Young Scientist's Medal of the Indian National Science Academy. He is a Fellow of the ASM International, Fellow of the Institute of Materials, London (UK), a member of TMS, a Life Member of the Materials Research Society of India, a Life Member of the Electron Microscope Society of India, and

It's that time of year when tech pundits everywhere emerge with prognoses for the year ahead. I'm jumping on the bandwagon too.
Let's get into the details.
India is currently seeing quite a bit of excitement in the early-stage funding scene. By "early-stage" I mean companies raising (much) less than US$5 million in financing in their last round. There are sound reasons for the excitement — accelerating growth in smartphone usage, positive developments on the government and policy front, increased availability of early-stage capital, and a lot else. Yet at the same time, it is fair to say that valuations may be getting a little ahead of themselves.
I think there is still some room for valuations to build further, driven mostly by capital chasing high-quality entrepreneurs in attractive market segments, a combination that still remains scarce today. That is the bull case.
The bear case is that valuations will over-shoot and the trend will break — and this is what I think will happen. All it will then take is for a couple of leading venture capitalists, who have a lot of available capital in comparison to the size of these small early-stage rounds, to take a breather. I anticipate that this will happen in the second half of the year. These bigger funds will then retreat to their original focus on growth-stage investments and leave the early-stage scene to specialists and smaller funds.
Although Singapore is very small and hasn't produced big successes on a consistent basis, government support in one form or another — grants, equity funding, smart promotion of Singapore to entrepreneurs and financiers outside Singapore, assisting Singapore-based firms with commercialization and internationalization, educational resources, and more — has resulted in Singapore punching well above its weight in terms of the number of early-stage ventures at the top of the funnel. Even more so than in India, early-stage startups in Singapore have lots of sources of capital to choose from (and not just from the government). This implies that any decent early-stage startup can raise initial rounds of funding on attractive terms.
There's nothing to prevent more such startups being founded and many more will continue to be. However, it will remain true for the foreseeable future (not just in 2015) that the amount of early-stage capital available will easily dwarf the number of companies that can absorb that capital. This underpins my prediction.
Whether this story will eventually have a happy ending — and who will be its beneficiaries — is something to think about.
Note however that this is only about early-stage startups as I defined earlier. Among startups that are at series B and beyond, attractive companies will continue to raise money at appropriate valuations while others may find themselves plateauing or worse turning into zombies. At that stage, it is difficult to talk about valuations in broad-brush language.
Facebook has made many acquisitions in the US and a few elsewhere. In contrast, their deal activity in Asia has been subdued. In Emerging Asia (loosely defined as India plus Southeast Asia), Facebook has made only two acquisitions – an Indian startup called Little Eye Labs and Malaysian company Octazen.
This will change.
I think Facebook will make its first big acquisition in Emerging Asia in 2015, where I define "big" in this context as anything valued at over US$50 million.
My reasoning is straightforward. The two biggest countries in Emerging Asia are also two of Facebook's most important markets: India and Indonesia. Facebook's India userbase is set to surpass its US userbase in the near future. Indonesia is not far behind.
As to what Facebook might buy, I think it's very unlikely Facebook will purchase a company purely to bulk up its userbase. Facebook's traction is already so large and has such strong in-built network effects that it doesn't make sense to do this. They bought Whatsapp not (only) because it had a large userbase — of which a big proportion is in India and Indonesia — but because it brought them exposure to a new, parallel area. The same is true of Instagram, Oculus Rift, Internet.org, Little Eye Labs, and so on.
So what might Facebook buy in Emerging Asia that operates in a parallel domain and warrants a good-sized cheque? Here we move away from prediction and towards speculation, but here are some ideas anyway:
Google is perhaps the most global Silicon Valley company I can think of in terms of its userbase. Yet, most of its commercial focus has continued to remain the US and Europe. With the majority of its revenue still coming from its core search advertising business, Google doesn't gain much by aggressively pursuing users, new technologies, or even advertisers in Emerging Asia. This isn't to say that they will not grow their business organically in Emerging Asia; just that M&A dollars are far more easily justified in their home market. I'd love to be proven wrong with this prediction.
Singapore's two government-backed investment companies GIC and Temasek Holdings have raced ahead of their peers in terms of getting exposure to technology titans in the US, China, India and elsewhere, seemingly as a result of putting a formal programme in place rather than merely making opportunistic investments. Temasek-affiliated firms like Vertex Venture Holdings and Pavilion Capital have given Temasek further exposure to tomorrow's potential titans. I don't know of too many other sovereign investment firms that have done the same thing, barring the occasional one-off deal such as the Qatar Investment Authority's recent investment in Uber. I think this will change this year, as other sovereign investors start to pursue large tech companies who continue to stay private well past the US$1 billion valuation mark.
Many Chinese tech companies are already quickly becoming household names outside China by virtue of organic expansion and some investment activity. We can expect investment and M&A activity by these large technology companies to substantially ramp up in 2015, and specifically in Emerging Asia and the US. The most active players will be ones like Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu, but several other less known players will also appear on the scene.
This is perhaps the one prediction I am least comfortable with. I am aware of Southeast Asian companies that have already reached this valuation level. What I am less sure of is whether they will achieve an exit this year.
Over the past few years, Japanese investors have, for a variety of reasons — fall-out from Fukushima, contracting home market, desire to diversify away from China — looked at Emerging Asia as an attractive investment destination. Japanese firms generally make decisions in a careful and deliberate manner and thereafter tend to "stick with it" unless and until there are strong countervailing reasons to change course. Investments by Japanese firms in Vietnam, Indonesia, India and other countries in Emerging Asia have generally followed this pattern and I anticipate that this will continue in 2015.
The one exception to the steady-as-she-goes approach is SoftBank (of course), which has made big bang investments in Emerging Asia recently and is likely to follow these up with more such deals. A related investor is Visionnaire Ventures, a joint fund by Temasek Holdings and Taizo Son, brother of Softbank's founder Masayoshi Son.
So there you have it.
I focus in this post mostly on investment activity, not broader predictions about attractive new opportunities for startups and VCs because:

Over the past few years, there's been a trend of Indian startups moving to Singapore. To be sure, this is only true of a tiny minority of startups but the trend has become noticeable enough that Quartz felt compelled to write a piece titled How India Can Keep Startups from Moving to Singapore.
Find your own path
Now, there are several flavours of "moving" to Singapore:
As mentioned, the number of Indian startups actually making a move to Singapore remains small. Of this already small number, ones that fall under the 4th category above are an even tinier minority.
Some notable startups, not only from India, who've moved to Singapore from elsewhere:
Is all of this a 'problem' for India? In aggregate, I think not. In fact, for some startups, maintaining a presence in Singapore may actually be a positive. Here are some benefits that looking outside India can bring Indian startups:
A broader regional perspective
In my several years looking at startup investments not just in India but also across SE Asia, Australia and the US, I've noticed that Indian startups sometimes get "sucked in" to solving only problems in their own backyards and don't realise that other countries outside India may be just as attractive places to operate in.
Ease of achieving exits
We've started started to see good-sized exits coming out of India in the past few years. However, for a country of the size of India, the number of exits is still smaller than it should be and the exit valuations achieved could be higher, if not for the fact that the legal and financial environment for IPO and M&A exits in India could be more favourable.
Singapore (and some other places) in contrast is a good place to be based in when a startup has achieved exit velocity. Some startups plan ahead and domicile in Singapore from early in their development. As more and more exits start to happen, a virtuous cycle of innovation and entrepreneurship in India can get going.
Access to a different set of customers
Enterprise-focused startups have often related to me sorrowfully that the typical Indian enterprise doesn't like buying from startups and even if they do decide to go the startup route, there is a tendency to bargain for extreme discounts and favourable payment terms. For B2C customers, this is less of an issue. However, both B2B and B2C startups can benefit by at least examining the different market dynamics present in other countries, even if they ultimately decide not to expand outside India. Singapore offers one particular benefit in that a lot of major multinational corporations base their Asia headquarters in Singapore.
Spreading risk
Abrupt policy changes, corruption scandals, hot-cold investor sentiment and several other factors beyond one's control result in heartache for entrepreneurs. Being present in more than one country while certainly adding a layer of operational complexity may help reduce one's overall risk.
Access to complementary talent
Again this is a consequence simply of looking outside one's own backyard. Someone who would bring a lot of value to your team may not be able to move to Bangalore but might be quite happy to be based in Singapore or another city elsewhere.
Improving operational metrics
As a consequence of some of the above factors, operational metrics like margins, days receivable, pricing structure and so on can change quite dramatically from business-as-usual levels.
Each of the above can have a pretty major impact on a startup's path of development.
However, simply because the above benefits are available to startups in Singapore doesn't mean that India doesn't have complementary benefits of its own. It really isn't one versus another.
Some other perceived benefits may not actually be true. For instance, Indian entrepreneurs sometimes assume that Singapore's status as a global financial centre means that it's easier to raise startup funding in Singapore than in India. Arguably, this isn't really true. India has a far greater number of active VC firms and other sources of startup capital.
So should India worry when startups migrate to other shores? Mostly, the answer is no. If anything, this is something to be encouraged as Indian startups start to forge regional and then global identities as they grow and mature.
The piece Why India shouldn't worry about startups leaving for Singapore first appeared on e27.

Fascinating and so obvious when summarised thus:
If there is a park or some kind of store within a half mile of their home, school-age youth are more than twice as likely to walk. If destinations are farther, they wait for a parental chauffeur. Think of the implications: a community with one central mega-sports complex with several baseball diamonds and soccer fields can actually be bad for children's health if it replaces small parks scattered every few blocks.
Combine this with the tendency for lifelong exercise and eating habits to be influenced in childhood, and it's clear what the implications are.

From the Economist:
Motorists in America generally receive no punishment whatsoever for crashing into or killing cyclists, even when the accident is transparently their fault. This insane lacuna in the justice system reflects extreme systemic prejudice by drivers against cyclists, and would be easy enough to fix. All that America would have to do would be to adopt traffic regulations like the ones in place in the Netherlands, where the number of cyclists is vastly higher than in America while the rate of fatalities per kilometre ridden is far lower.
And does the Dutch system result in gross injustice or even a major inconvenience to drivers?
The Dutch regulatory regime places an extra burden on drivers. That burden can be summed up as follows: before you turn, you have to check carefully in the mirror to see whether there's a cyclist there. That's it. When you are driving in the Netherlands, you have to be more careful than you would when driving in America.
This is what is known as a no-brainer.

Clay Shirky on an important lesson from the poor implementation of Healthcare.gov:
In well run organizations, information runs from the top down and from the bottom up.
As Clay points out in his piece, well run organisations gain the benefits of efficiency and effectiveness by taking this approach.
Just as important, this approach also gives line employees a stake in outcomes and implicitly creates a sense of motivation and purpose. Without two-way information flow and some degree of devolution of control to those actually doing the work, your organisation is almost guaranteed to see talent walk out the door. Beyond a point, no monetary incentive can compensate for the frustration that talented employees feel from the lack of genuine control over one's work.
Which is what I mean by the very tongue-in-cheek title of this post: the more you frustrate your own employees, the more likely they are to leave and start something of their own.

6 bottle case @ 1/25/13 15:30 EST
Order # 2289
My apologies for not recognizing the wholesale order # you provided. As madbulldan85 corretly pointed out, we now have 4 such wholesale order numbers. The analysis on these 4 numbers provides the following data estimates:
Time elapsed between first and fourth wholesale order numbers: 4 months exactly.
# of wholesale orders during that time: 693
# of wholesale orders per month: 173.25
# of wholesale orders per day: 5.7
Thanks to everybody for waking me up on this matter, as I have stored the 4 wholesale order #'s. I hope the reporting by rbatr and others provides some useful insights on this issue.
I just ordered and received 2- 300ct bottles from GNC taking advantage of a special one day discount offer, while buying the gold card for the first time for an extra discount, but next time I'll be sure to get an wholesale order to see what the number is.
Curious if you know this to be 300 ct bottles? Can you let us know?
Haven't received the order yet. Called customer service they told me it would be the 300 count bottles. They said all orders are as of last Monday 1/21/13
Hi rbatr,
As the two posters below have suggested, can you provide the full character string of your order #? The data you've provided so far is insufficient for our needs. Thanks much!
so far:
2289, processed at 15:30EST on 25 January
2138, processed at 1445EST on 17 December
2112, processed at 1309EST on 12 December
1596, processed at 1728EST on 25 September
it does seem to add up...
what is the common price for those orders?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I'd hazard a guess that Chipper will ask you if that is the whole order number. If it's not, please post the complete number. Maybe check your account and see if there is another number. Thanks
Persyst is correct. The number will start with something like "A2013" and the pertinent numbers in that string right now are the last 7. The first 5 of that last 7 is the number Chipper needs.

This volume represents a summary of the present state of our knowledge concerning brain constituents and their metabolism. There are extended and valuable references, particularly to the more recent investigations in the general field of intermediary metabolism, so that the scope of the work is considerably greater than its title would indicate. There is an excellent historical introductory chapter, followed by a more extensive survey of the chemistry and metabolism of various brain constituents. A comprehensive chapter on brain oxidations has been contributed by Dr. J. H. Quastel of the Cardiff Mental Hospital. The purely chemical aspects of brain constituents are treated briefly, the emphasis being on their correlation as far as possible with metabolic function. The clinical aspects of the problem are not neglected and the book should prove of interest not only to the laboratory investigator but to the clinician as well.

I had heard that some time ago these two companies had serious merger talks and ever since it has been nothing but constant bickering. Just stop and realize what these two companies could do working under one roof. Yes, I am from the PIP board but that is not important to our mutual success. The new company would be the leader in providing the solutions to chemical warfare plus so many other ingredients. I say,let the dust settle after the court verdict is handed down and then have management from both sides grow up a little and work towards a mutual understanding on a newly formed company. All of us shareholders would benefit handsomely
How about some kicks in the balls instead?
This is a funny post because you almost come of sounding nervous about the appeal and the pending outcome, like you're begging for some sort of merger or way of working together in the future. It really sounds like desperation....but the part I find even funnier is that you're posting it on the pathetic MB where no one really knows a darn thing, nor can they do anything to "help" some sort of merger to happen. You might as well speak it to your silverware at home.
I had read some of your posts previous to my posting and couldn't help but notice how you speak down to everybody so I was hoping your smart alec tactics would bypass my post. Of course I realized that posting on this MB would not result in a call to action, it very seldom does but it was my intention to air a topic that might be food for conversation. Try and come down off of your throne and act like a normal person although I speculate that you believe yourself to be the 'king of the roost" on this board due to your never-ending posts. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders, too bad the tongue can't be a part of it.
Uh, Pensive, the lawsuit emerged precisely because Pip backed out of merger talks, and then wanted to have their cake and eat it too, in the form of the rough LATS. Merger now would make zero-to-no sense. And no, a joint company wouldn't "provide solutions to chemical warfare," since neither company is working on chemical warfare. Can't wait for PIP to go completely bust.
Kage you seem like a guy that can see the future options for SIGA. What's your take on the company going frwd?
1. given the supreme crt judgement goes SIGA's way.
2. the rest of the contract is carried out without CMX-001.
3. is there any pipeline worthy to note. If so the company hasn't shown any efforts in these areas to date.

Welcome to the beautifully kind world of Denver where this Christmas Eve Cannabis Can is freely giving away pre-rolled marijuana joints to anybody and everybody we meet on the streets in order raise awareness on homelessness!
Cannamas 2015
Thank you everyone for such a magically wonderful Cannamas! We want to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Please join us on social media and share in our enthusiasm to provide regular access to restrooms, showers and haircuts for the homeless!
Here at Cannabis Can, we are addressing the issue of homelessness in America with a completely new approach. We'll be out and about sharing big warm hugs and a gentle reminders that we are all human with rights and responsibilities to our community regardless of circumstance and without judgement. We believe in working together towards a solution that will allow our society to be more inclusive and cohesive as a whole.
We endeavor to offer a wide range of support services for people experiencing homelessness. Currently, we are engaged in interviews with various cross members of the homeless population to help assess immediate assistant needs and mediate a solution to their needs.
While we are working on many fronts to help the homeless, from interviews we've conducted thus far we have found a strong uniform desire for regular access to restrooms, showers, and haircuts. While there are several organizations already helping in this way, it is simply not enough to meet demand. Hence, we have recently created our "Restrooms and Grooms" fundraiser. We believe we can renovate and create mobile units to offer these services here in Denver and eventually expand into other cities across the US with this program. Each of our mobile units will offer free wifi, restrooms, showers, and a salon for haircuts. Our program and endeavor is similar to what Lava Mae has done for San Francisco.
We endeavor to create online drives accessible to the homeless for personal document retrieval and backups. Many people experiencing homelessness currently do not have backup copies of their identification nor employment history and we strive to immediately correct this. Additionally we are working to create accessible public restrooms so that anyone can use the facilities, no purchase necessary! Finally, we hope to be able to support a local drug rehabilitation program. With love and compassion we strive to help co-create a better system administratively, to offer regular access to food, shelter, housing, employment opportunities, education, as well as emphasizing their rights to common personal freedoms.
If you or someone you know would like to lend your support, please show that you care by signing up for our volunteer roster. Additionally, if you are so able, we appreciate any and all donations however minute they may be. Every Penny Counts! Please click the paypal link below and donate today! Currently over 90% of each dollar goes directly to the aid of a homeless individual. If for nothing else, make someone's day this Christmas Eve by passing on the love.

The Gothic settings of Susan Hill's The Mist in the Mirror (1992) include labyrinthine London streets, distant, haunted Northern villages and a school - all of which attest to Hill's reputation as a writer who revived the English ghost story. The Mist in the Mirror adopts the traditional ghost tale formulae, an archaic nineteenth-century tone with words such as "dreech" and "mizzle" giving a rather bleak Dickensian air to the whole. The story is told to the narrator by a returned traveller, Sir Jamie Monmouth, who, after an evening in the club, seeks out the narrator and begins gradually to recount his strange tale of threats from beyond the grave. Monmouth, with his skull-like, beak-nosed, gaunt face hands over a …

Hellgate: London
Ok, I got one question. I am at level 25 and almost finish with the game. I have a spot for a dye pack, to dye my armor. I can't seem to find a dye pack, or buy one. So how do you get one. And whare are they at?
Thanks if you can help me.
Zanatoas Unl. Member,
"life is my own, to live my own way."
look there: hellgatelondon.com/preorder
it says, that the dye kits are for the limited edition only.
"A Dye Kit is an in-game item that lets you color your online character's armor set to a particular theme, determined by the retailer you purchased your pre-order from."
but i hope that there will be some kind of work around or hack or something to choose your own colors for the stuff you are wearing.
right now i choose what armor i wear from the colors it has and from its look. (im still wearing level 6 boots, though i could have level 16 or 20 ones, but the level 6 have the cool dark blue colors, and the rest of my armor is pretty much orange and green or orange only.)

As cohabitation gains favor, shotgun weddings fade
WASHINGTON -- No longer taboo, living together has become a more common arrangement for America's couples who become pregnant while dating.
Soon-to-be-released government figures show a major cultural shift since the days of "shotgun weddings" aimed at avoiding family embarrassment. With marriage on the decline, the shift is helping redefine the traditional notion of family.
"The emergence of cohabitation as an acceptable context for childbearing has changed the family-formation landscape," said Christina Gibson-Davis, a sociology professor at Duke University. "Individuals still value the idea of a two-parent family but no longer consider it necessary for the parents to be married."
Still, she cautions that children in cohabiting households may face more difficulties if their unmarried parents are at higher risk of breaking up.
In all, the share of unmarried couples who opted to have "shotgun cohabitations" -- moving in together after a pregnancy -- surpassed "shotgun marriages" for the first time over the last decade, according to a forthcoming paper from the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The trend was affirmed by three demographers who conducted research on the topic.
It's the latest demographic tipping point as cohabitations turn mainstream -- a far cry from the days when the father of a pregnant daughter might use coercion, such as a shotgun, to make sure the boyfriend followed through on a wedding.
Demographers said the cohabiting trend among new parents is likely to continue.

Custom big rig show trucks are a passion of many truckers.....fine big rig trucks decked out from stem to stern with chrome and extra bling.
Many folks in the trucking industry, are attracted to these big rig 18 wheelers.
They're shiny, sleek and an awesome sight to see.....even those who don't own a customized unit, nor have any future plans to own one, can still appreciate the hard work and creativity that goes into the construction of these marvelous machines.
Some truckers do all of the restoration and custom work themselves, saving a 'ton' of money.
Specialized customization is outrageously expensive....like chopping to lower the roof, suicide doors, chop and shave the breathers (hide the straps & lower breathers), and on newer trucks, hiding the DEF equipment... love that low, mean, clean look but not the big price tag that goes with it.
Building a customized semi is often an expression of the trucker's passion for his line of work....lovin' that big machinery and lovin' the look.
At Smart Trucking, we love the hard-working big rigs.... the 'get dirty and make money trucks', no matter what the make or the model.
In our opinion, ANY big truck is a 'great truck', if it makes money.... 'cause that's what it is REALLY all about in this industry.
However, I must confess..... I am a 'custom truck junkie' too. Over the years, I've compiled a huge number of albums of photos of good-looking custom semi trucks...... from the new tricked out rigs, older vintage model customized trucks, back-yard mechanic builds to owner operator customized rides.
One thing I know for sure when I spot a cool ride, whether at a truck show, a show 'n' shine or see a hot looking rig at a truck stop or see one on the highway out for a stroll, I kinda loose my head for just a moment and get caught up in the beauty of such a fine looking machine. I get excited, just like a little kid. Love those big show trucks.
There's an endless list of ways to 'pimp your ride', but I personally have a few favorites.
Click on the images for a larger view.
I like 'em sleek and I like 'em sassy. Here's a few customized rigs and some big rig show trucks to light your fire: owner operator and show trucks.

Changes in Russian Poverty During Transition as Assessed from Microdata from the City of Taganrog
Björn Gustafsson
Göteborg University - Department of Social Work; Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)
Ludmila Nivorozhkina
Rostov State Economic University
Economics of Transition, Vol. 12, No. 4, pp. 747-776, December 2004
The literature lacks solid assessments of poverty in Russia under transition compared to the poverty conditions at the onset of transition. This motivates us to analyse survey data from the city of Taganrog collected in similar manners for 1989 and 2000. Under all assumptions applied, we find that the extent of poverty has increased. The results also show that a large proportion of households with members in work-active ages have fallen into poverty. While poverty in 1989 was heavily concentrated among the elderly, Russian poverty in 2000 is to a large extent a problem for people of work-active ages and their children. Russian poverty has changed from being predictable and perhaps stable to the opposite.
