'A Better Solution Than Trump's Border Wall' – Ron Paul's Jan. 30th Column
by Ron Paul
Just one week in office, President Trump is already following through on his pledge to address illegal immigration. His January 25th executive order called for the construction of a wall along the entire length of the US-Mexico border. While he is right to focus on the issue, there are several reasons why his proposed solution will unfortunately not lead us anywhere closer to solving the problem.
First, the wall will not work. Texas already started building a border fence about ten years ago. It divided people from their own property across the border, it deprived people of their land through the use of eminent domain, and in the end the problem of drug and human smuggling was not solved.
Second, the wall will be expensive. The wall is estimated to cost between 12 and 15 billion dollars. You can bet it will be more than that. President Trump has claimed that if the Mexican government doesn't pay for it, he will impose a 20 percent duty on products imported from Mexico. Who will pay this tax? Ultimately, the American consumer, as the additional costs will be passed on. This will of course hurt the poorest Americans the most.
Third, building a wall ignores the real causes of illegal border crossings into the United States. Though President Trump is right to prioritize the problem of border security, he misses the point on how it can be done effectively and at an actual financial benefit to the country rather than a huge economic drain.
The solution to really addressing the problem of illegal immigration, drug smuggling, and the threat of cross-border terrorism is clear: remove the welfare magnet that attracts so many to cross the border illegally, stop the 25 year US war in the Middle East, and end the drug war that incentivizes smugglers to cross the border.
The various taxpayer-funded programs that benefit illegal immigrants in the United States, such as direct financial transfers, medical benefits, food assistance, and education, cost an estimated $100 billion dollars per year. That is a significant burden on citizens and legal residents. The promise of free money, free food, free education, and free medical care if you cross the border illegally is a powerful incentive for people to do so. It especially makes no sense for the United States government to provide these services to those who are not in the US legally.
Likewise, the 40 year war on drugs has produced no benefit to the American people at a great cost. It is estimated that since President Nixon declared a war on drugs, the US has spent more than a trillion dollars to fight what is a losing battle. That is because just as with the welfare magnet, there is an enormous incentive to smuggle drugs into the United States.
We already know the effect that ending the war on drugs has on illegal smuggling: as more and more US states decriminalize marijuana for medical and recreational uses, marijuana smuggling from Mexico to the US has dropped by 50 percent from 2010.
Finally, the threat of terrorists crossing into the United States from Mexico must be taken seriously, however once again we must soberly consider why they may seek to do us harm. We have been dropping bombs on the Middle East since at least 1990. Last year President Obama dropped more than 26,000 bombs. Thousands of civilians have been killed in US drone attacks. The grand US plan to "remake" the Middle East has produced only misery, bloodshed, and terrorism. Ending this senseless intervention will go a long way toward removing the incentive to attack the United States.
I believe it is important for the United States to have secure borders, but unfortunately President Trump's plan to build a wall will end up costing a fortune while ignoring the real problem of why people cross the borders illegally. They will keep coming as long as those incentives remain.

Good News: Washington Frozen Out of Syria Peace Plan
Written by Ron Paul January 2, 2017
As the US mainstream media obsessed last week about Russia's supposed "hacking" of the US elections and President Obama's final round of Russia sanctions in response, something very important was taking place under the media radar. As a result of a meeting between foreign ministers of Russia, Iran, and Turkey last month, a ceasefire in Syria has been worked out and is being implemented. So far it appears to be holding, and after nearly six years of horrible warfare the people of Syria are finally facing the possibility of rebuilding their lives.
What is so important about this particular ceasefire? It was planned, agreed to, and implemented without the participation of the United States Government.
In fact it was frustration with Washington's refusal to separate its "moderates" from terrorist groups and its continued insistence on regime change for the Syrian government that led the three countries to pursue a solution on their own for Syria. They also included the Syrian government and much of the opposition in the agreement, which the US government has been unwilling to do.
We have been told all along by the neocons and "humanitarian interventionists" that the United States must take a central role in every world crisis or nothing will ever be solved. We are the "indispensable nation," they say, and without our involvement the world will collapse. Our credibility is on the line, they claim, and if we don't step up no one will. All this is untrue, as we have seen last week.
The fact is, it is often US involvement in "solving" these crises that actually perpetuates them. Consider the 60-plus year state of war between North and South Korea. Has US intervention done anything to solve the problem? How about our decades of meddling in the Israel-Palestine dispute? Are we any closer to peace between the Israelis and Palestinians despite the billions we have spent bribing and interfering?
Non-intervention in the affairs of others does not damage US credibility overseas. It is US meddling, bombing, droning, and regime-changing that damages our credibility overseas. US obstruction in Syria kept the war going. As the Syrians and Russians were liberating east Aleppo from its four year siege by al-Qaeda, the Obama Administration was demanding a ceasefire. As Syrians began to move back into their homes in east Aleppo, the State Department continued to tell us that the Russians and Syrian government were slaughtering civilians for the fun of it.
So why all the media attention on unproven accusations of Russian hacking and President Obama's predictable, yet meaningless response? The mainstream media does the bidding of Washington's interventionists and they are desperate to divert attention from what may prove to be the beginning of the end of Syria's long nightmare. They don't want Americans to know that the rest of the world can solve its own problems without the US global policemen in the center of the action. When it is finally understood that we don't need to be involved for crises to be solved overseas, the neocons will lose. Let's hope that happens soon!

New Year's Resolutions for Donald Trump and Congress
By Ron Paul
In the spirit of New Year's, here are four resolutions for president-elect Trump and Congress that will enable them to really make America great again:
1) Audit the Fed….and then end it: The Federal Reserve Bank's easy money polices have eroded the American people's standard of living and facilitated the growth of the welfare-warfare state. The Fed is also responsible for the growth in income inequality. Yet Congress still refuses to pass Audit the Fed, much less end it.
During the campaign, then-candidate Donald Trump promised that Audit the Fed would be part of his first 100 days agenda. Unfortunately, he has not spoken of auditing the Fed or another aspect of monetary policy since the election. President-elect Trump should keep his promise and work with Congress to pass Audit the Fed and finally let the American people know the truth about the Fed's conduct of monetary policy. Then, of course, end the Fed.
2) Bring the troops home: President Barack Obama has not only failed to withdraw American forces from Afghanistan and Iraq, he has further destabilized the Middle East with reckless interventions in Egypt, Libya, and Syria. The Obama administration has also brought us to the brink of a new Cold War.
President-elect Trump has criticized the 2003 Iraq war and promised to end nation-building. However, he has also made hawkish statements such as his recent endorsement of increased US military intervention in Syria and has appointed several hawks to key foreign policy positions. President-elect Trump also supported increasing the Pentagon's already bloated budget.
America cannot afford to continue wasting trillions of dollars in a futile effort to act as the world's policeman. Rejecting the neocon polices of nation-building and spreading democracy by force of arms is a good start. However, if Donald Trump is serious about charting a new course in foreign policy, his first act as president should be to withdraw US troops from around the globe. He should also veto any budget that does not drastically cut spending on militarism.
3) Repeal ObamaCare: ObamaCare has raised healthcare costs for millions of Americans while denying them access to the providers of their choice. Public dissatisfaction with ObamaCare played a major role in Donald Trump's election.
Unfortunately, since the election president-elect Trump and the Republican Congress have talked about retaining key parts of Obamacare! While it is reasonable to have a transition to a new healthcare system, Congress must avoid the temptation to replace ObamaCare with "ObamaCare lite." Congress must pass, and President Trump must sign, a true free-market health care plan that restores control over healthcare to individuals.
4) Cut Taxes and Spending: President-elect Trump and Congressional leadership both favor tax reform. However, some leading Republicans have recently said they will not support any tax reform plan that is not "revenue neutral." A true pro-liberty tax reform would reduce government revenue by eliminating the income tax. Fiscal hawks concerned with increasing federal deficits should stop trying to increase tax revenues and join with supporters of limited government to drastically cut federal spending. Congress should prioritize ending corporate welfare, reducing military spending, and shutting down unconstitutional federal agencies like the Department of Education.
If President Trump and Congress spend the next six months passing Audit the Fed, ending our militaristic foreign policy, repealing ObamaCare and replacing it with a true free-market health care system, and cutting both spending and taxes, they will begin to make America great again. If they fail to take these steps, then the American people will know they have been fooled again.

Federal government plans to legalize mass hacking through rule change
Why do we have congress anymore?
Government Can't Help; It Can Only Hurt
by Ron Paul
Three recent stories regarding three government agencies — the IRS, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) — show why we should oppose big government for practical, as well as philosophical, reasons.
In recent months, many Americans have missed their flights because of longer-than-usual TSA security lines. In typical DC fashion, the TSA claims the delays are because of budget cuts, even though Congress regularly increases the TSA's funding!
The TSA is also blaming the delays on the fact that few Americans have signed up for its "PreCheck" program. Under PreCheck, the TSA considers excusing some Americans from some of the screening process. Those who wish to be considered must first submit personal information to the TSA and pay a fee. Only a bureaucrat would think Americans would be eager to give the TSA more information and money on the chance that they may be approved for PreCheck.
The TSA is much better at harassing airline passengers than at providing security. TSA agents regularly fail to catch weapons hidden by federal agents testing the screening process. Sadly, Congress will likely reward the TSA's failures with continued funding increases. Rewarding the TSA's incompetence shouldn't surprise us since the TSA owes its existence to the failure of government to protect airline passengers on 9/11.
If Congress truly wanted to protect airline passengers, it would shut down the TSA and let airlines determine how best to protect their passengers. Private businesses have a greater incentive than government bureaucrats to protect their customers and their property without stripping their customers of their dignity.
The head of the VA also made headlines last week when he said it is unfair to judge the VA by how long veterans have to wait for medical care, since no one judges Disney World by how long people have to wait in line. Perhaps he is unaware that no one has ever died because he waited too long to go on an amusement park ride.
For years socialized medicine supporters pointed to the VA as proof that a government bureaucracy could deliver quality health care. The stories of veterans being denied care or receiving substandard care demolish those claims.
If Congress truly wanted to ensure that veterans receive quality health care, it would stop forcing veterans to seek health care from a federal bureaucracy. Instead, government would give veterans health-care vouchers or health savings accounts and allow them to manage their own health care. Congress should also dramatically reduce the costs of providing veterans care by ending our militaristic foreign policy.
Another story last week highlights the one thing government does do well: violate our rights. The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on impeaching IRS Commissioner John Koskinen over his role in the IRS's persecution of conservative organizations.
Those who value liberty and constitutional government should support impeaching Koskinen. However, truly protecting Americans from IRS tyranny requires eliminating the income tax. Despite the claims of some, a flat tax system would still require a federal bureaucracy to ensure Americans are accurately reporting their income. Since the income tax is one of the foundations of the welfare-warfare state, it is folly to think we can eliminate the income tax without first dramatically reducing the size and scope of government.
The TSA, VA, and IRS are just three examples of how government cannot effectively provide any good or service except authoritarianism. Individuals acting in the free market are more than capable of providing for their own needs, including the need to protect themselves, their families, and their property, if the government gets out of the way.

2017 NDAA bill to require women to register with Selective Service
Defense Bill Coming This Week: A Boost for War and Tyranny
By Ron Paul
For many of us concerned with liberty, the letters "NDAA" have come to symbolize Washington's ongoing effort to undermine the US Constitution in the pursuit of constant war overseas. It was the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2012 that introduced into law the idea that American citizens could be indefinitely detained without warrant or charge if a government bureaucrat decides they had assisted al-Qaeda or "associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States." No charges, no trial, just disappeared Americans.
The National Defense Authorization bill should be a Congressional mechanism to bind the president to spend national defense money in the way Congress wishes. It is the nuts and bolts of the defense budget and as such is an important oversight tool preventing the imperial executive from treating the military as his own private army. Unfortunately that is no longer the case these days.
Why am I revisiting the NDAA today? Unfortunately since 2012 these bills have passed the House with less and less scrutiny, and this week the House is going to vote on final passage of yet another Defense Authorization, this time for fiscal year 2017. Once again it is a terrible piece of legislation that does great harm to the United States under the guise of protecting the United States.
Unless some last minute changes take place, this latest NDAA will force young women for the first time to register to be drafted into the US military. For the past 36 years, young men have been forced to register with Selective Service when they turn 18 or face felony charges and years in prison. Under a perverted notion of "equality" some people are cheering the idea that this represents an achievement for women. Why cheer when slavery is extended to all? We should be fighting for an end to forced servitude for young men and to prevent it being extended to women.
The argument against a draft should appeal to all: you own your own body. No state has the right to force you to kill or be killed against your will. No state has a claim on your life. We are born with freedoms not granted by the state, but by our creator. Only authoritarians seek to take that away from us.
Along with extending draft registration to women, the latest NDAA expands the neocons' new "Cold War" with Russia, adding $3.4 billion to put US troops and heavy weapons on Russia's border because as the bill claims, "Russia presents the greatest threat to our national security." This NDAA also includes the military slush fund of nearly $60 billion for the president to spend on wars of his choosing without the need to get Congress involved. Despite all the cries that we need to "rebuild the military," this year's Defense Authorization bill has a higher base expenditure than last year. There have been no cuts in the military. On the contrary: the budget keeps growing.
The Defense Authorization bill should remain notorious. It represents most of what is wrong with Washington. It is welfare for the well-connected defense contractors and warfare on our economy and on the rest of the world. This reckless spending does nothing to defend the United States. It is hastening our total economic collapse.

Draft encryption bill is 'ludicrous, dangerous and technically illiterate'
Congress is Writing the President a Blank Check for War
by Ron Paul
While the Washington snowstorm dominated news coverage this week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was operating behind the scenes to rush through the Senate what may be the most massive transfer of power from the Legislative to the Executive branch in our history. The senior Senator from Kentucky is scheming, along with Sen. Lindsey Graham, to bypass normal Senate procedure to fast-track legislation to grant the president the authority to wage unlimited war for as long as he or his successors may wish.
The legislation makes the unconstitutional Iraq War authorization of 2002 look like a walk in the park. It will allow this president and future presidents to wage war against ISIS without restrictions on time, geographic scope, or the use of ground troops. It is a completely open-ended authorization for the president to use the military as he wishes for as long as he (or she) wishes. Even President Obama has expressed concern over how willing Congress is to hand him unlimited power to wage war.
President Obama has already far surpassed even his predecessor, George W. Bush, in taking the country to war without even the fig leaf of an authorization. In 2011 the president invaded Libya, overthrew its government, and oversaw the assassination of its leader, without even bothering to ask for Congressional approval. Instead of impeachment, which he deserved for the disastrous Libya invasion, Congress said nothing. House Republicans only managed to bring the subject up when they thought they might gain political points exploiting the killing of US Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi.
It is becoming more clear that Washington plans to expand its war in the Middle East. Last week the media reported that the US military had taken over an air base in eastern Syria, and Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said that the US would send in the 101st Airborne Division to retake Mosul in Iraq and to attack ISIS headquarters in Raqqa, Syria. Then on Saturday, Vice President Joe Biden said that if the upcoming peace talks in Geneva are not successful, the US is prepared for a massive military intervention in Syria. Such an action would likely place the US military face to face with the Russian military, whose assistance was requested by the Syrian government. In contrast, we must remember that the US military is operating in Syria in violation of international law.
The prospects of such an escalation are not all that far-fetched. At the insistence of Saudi Arabia and with US backing, the representatives of the Syrian opposition at the Geneva peace talks will include members of the Army of Islam, which has fought with al-Qaeda in Syria. Does anyone expect these kinds of people to compromise? Isn't al-Qaeda supposed to be our enemy?
The purpose of the Legislative branch of our government is to restrict the Executive branch's power. The Founders understood that an all-powerful king who could wage war at will was the greatest threat to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That is why they created a people's branch, the Congress, to prevent the emergence of an all-powerful autocrat to drag the country to endless war. Sadly, Congress is surrendering its power to declare war.
Let's be clear: If Senate Majority Leader McConnell succeeds in passing this open-ended war authorization, the US Constitution will be all but a dead letter.

As his swords touched the sides of the neck of the last Scral, he looked it straight in the eyes, before he send its head flying into the air. Cleaning his swords, he sheathed them, before moving towards the ruins they had desperately protected. At first glance, there was nothing unusual about it. No strange sensor readings, no confused radars, nothing out of the ordinary at all. "Fleet Command, come in, this is Group Alpha, I have reached the site, nothing unusual here. Over." "Roger Alpha, continue your search. Over." "Fleet Command, there's just some rocks here. Looks like ruins, but nothing else. Should I blow it up, see if that fixes the disturbance? Over." "Negative Alpha. Continue your search. Over." "Acknowledge, Fleet Command." he responded, sighing. He had looked forward to blowing it up. He liked blowing things up. A bit too much perhaps, but nobody cared as long as he only blew up Scral things. He walked to the largest ruin, only to find something unusual as soon as he approached it. The ground beneath his feet disappeared, without disappearing. As if the earth had suddenly been replaced with a hologram. He fell down, immediately engaging his jet pack to keep him afloat, only to have it shut down by some strange force. He looked down and saw a complex structure, of alien design, almost like a temple. Pushing his thrusters to the maximum, he cursed as a loud blow revealed that they had been shut down as well. He switched towards a cable gun and fired it, managing to hit a long pillar. As he neared the ground, he felt how the cable gun slowed his descend tremendously. He condescended slowly, gently touching the ground. Just as he sighed in relief, he felt how he got pulled sideways. With an incredibly painful movement, he got smacked against a wall, his suit going haywire, system after system failing. "EMERGENCY RELEASE!" he screamed, almost panicking. The belts in his suit opened up, releasing him, as his suit cracked in two. It destroyed his suit, but at least he got out. He landed nimbly on the floor a few feet below. He looked up at his suit, and managed to jump aside in the nick of time as it came crashing down. He cursed, moving towards it, looking if there was anything he could salvage. A gun, a flamethrower, a grenade, anything. But his search turned up nothing. Everything that even remotely contained electronics was useless. He had nothing, safe his swords. next -4 Views: 654 Submitted: 02/13/2013 Facebook Twitter Google+ Tumblr Pinterest

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses.
In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.
Speaker Bio:

For organizations that have amassed large sums of software complexity, taking a microservices approach is the first step toward DevOps and continuous improvement / development. Integrating system-level analysis with microservices makes it easier to change and add functionality to applications at any time without the increase of risk. Before you start big transformation projects or a cloud migration, make sure these changes won't take down your entire organization.

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks. We're in the midst of a wave of excitement around AI such as hasn't been seen for a few decades. But those previous periods of inflated expectations led to troughs of disappointment. Will this time be different? Most likely. Applications of AI such as predictive analytics are already decreasing costs and improving reliability of industrial machinery. Furthermore, the funding and research going into AI now comes from a wide range of com...

RPS board members: now is not the time for vanitySubscription
So the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) national pharmacy board elections are over for another year. Now begins one of the most important phase: the election of the president of the RPS.
Travel health services provided through UK community pharmaciesSubscription
In 2016, there were 70.8 million visits abroad by UK residents[1] and the World Tourism Organization expects worldwide tourist arrivals to increase to 1.8 billion by 2030
Experience of setting up and running a referral scheme from the secondary care anticoagulant clinic to community pharmacies in SwindonSubscription
The new medicines service (NMS) is an advanced service in the community pharmacy contractual framework. It consists of community pharmacist structured interviews with patients during their first month of treatment with a new medicine. The service aims to improve medicines concordance and improve patient understanding of their treatment.
Making patients aware that healthy eating can prevent diabetesSubscription
A survey Diabetes UK has just conducted shows that most of us (59%) now know someone with type 2 diabetes. Yet most people would ignore four out of six symptoms of diabetes (thrush, fatigue, increased urination and extreme thirst).
Managing stained teethSubscription
Many people often visit pharmacies to ask for solutions to stained teeth. We write to highlight to pharmacists briefly the different types of staining and treatment options available.
Using the new RPS websiteSubscription
The Retired Pharmacists' Group (RPG) Committee wishes to share its thoughts on the design and usability of the new Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) website.
Treatment-resistant epilepsy in children: new hope from cannabidiolSubscription
A large clinical trial conducted on a drug derived from cannabis has demonstrated reduction of convulsive seizures experienced by children with a severe form of epilepsy by nearly 50%[1]. The results, ...
Pharmacy market still showing resilience despite cutsSubscription
Following the High Court's ruling on 18 May 2017 rejecting the case made against the government's funding cuts to community pharmacy in England, many may be left wondering what the future holds for the community pharmacy market.
Negative feedback from health monitoring devicesSubscription
Health is more than the sum of laboratory results and monitoring figures. In the same way, quality of life needs to reflect more than just observations.
Improving packaging safetySubscription
In Emma Wilkinson's excellent feature on pharmaceutical packaging design (The Pharmaceutical Journal 2017;298:281), she stated that tall man lettering was introduced in 2009 following research by the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA). The packaging for Wockhardt UK Ltd's cephalosporin range was approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory ...

The future of the RPS depends on member engagementSubscription
In light of the pitiful turnout for the recent Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) pharmacy board elections, it is timely to give some serious thought to the relationship between the RPS and its members. I was hopeful for a healthy turnout, given the 'noise' of social media activity, but it seems those participating represented a small minority ...
Is the chief pharmaceutical officer of England serving patients and the profession well?Subscription
Upon his appointment in 2005, the chief pharmaceutical officer for England Keith Ridge stated that: "Over the past few years, patients have demanded change to how health services are delivered, including pharmacy.

Prescribing of medicines by pharmacists and the new community pharmacy contract will increase access to healthcare. I intend ...

Community pharmacy saves the day againSubscription
On Friday 12 May 2017, we saw what was possibly the biggest attack on the NHS IT infrastructure. Despite not appearing to be a specific target, it has had a massive effect on patient care. There were many GP surgeries unable to access online patient records or issue electronic prescriptions; enter community pharmacy.
Chief pharmaceutical officer of England ought to be congratulatedSubscription
From Graham Phillips's letter about his attendance at the 'Quality for patients: pharmacy practice now and in the future' conference (The Pharmaceutical Journal 2017;298:234), I thought he was going to report on the conference but all he offered was a rant at the chief pharmaceutical officer (CPO) for England for, in his view, inadequate ...

Engaging both members and non-membersSubscription
Over the past few weeks, I have been delighted to see a higher level of engagement than has probably been seen in the past. Much of this has been through modern social media routes such as Twitter and Telegram. This is something the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) should investigate further to see how it utilises these media to maximise the engagement with members and non-members that utilise these media routes. The debate has been challenging and maybe some of it has drifted into ...
RPS needs to focus more on the needs of its membersSubscription
So much of the work done by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) is positive and I greatly appreciate this, but to retain and grow the membership, we must focus more on the needs and wants of the members. The work around the Faculty is a case in point. Most grassroots members I know can see no current value in joining and building a Faculty portfolio. With the introduction of General Pharmaceutical Council's (GPhC) revalidation, members will look to the RPS for support.
The time for action is nowSubscription
The writing is on the wall or, to be more precise, the writing is in the 'Five year forward view', the Murray report and your local sustainability and transformation plans (STPs).
Mental health awareness week: bullying in the pharmacySubscription

I don't want a profession without a voiceSubscription
I dream of a day when newsbites don't begin with: 'The strain on the doctors and nurses…', but instead states: 'The doctors, pharmacists, and nurses…'.
One true voice for pharmacySubscription
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) must overtly support all sectors of our profession, address our issues and capitalise upon opportunities.
Media revelations: trust your pharmacist supported by the RPSSubscription
The latest media revelations advising that taking "even short courses of certain painkillers increased the risks of heart attacks" shows how important it is for pharmacists to be accessible as trusted healthcare professionals. Unfortunately in this era of media hype, social media hysteria, and 'Doctor Google', patients and customers often have misinformation overload. This means that the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS), in its unique position as leader of the profession, must take ...
What makes a good quality RPS pharmacy board memberSubscription
Following my first full term I have been reflecting on my time as a Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) English Pharmacy Board member and the opportunities still to be realised.
Have you voted yet?Subscription
In the heat of general election fever, it would be easy to get voter fatigue. But the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) national pharmacy board elections closing on 26 May 2017 could determine the future direction of the RPS. Successful candidates will hold the post for three years, and with the current pace of healthcare change, this is a crucial decision for our profession, so make your vote count! Nothing will change if you do not do anything differently, so vote for someone passionate ...
I want a professional body that works for everyoneSubscription
I hope colleagues will forgive my reference to the Theresa May rhetoric, but as a community pharmacist I have to ask, is the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) really working for me? It seems that the RPS is obsessed with the practice pharmacist initiative (which, I agree, is excellent) but the implementation to date has been to benefit the few (2,000 practice pharmacists) at the expense of the many (around 30,000 community pharmacists).
How to deal with the downward spiral of pharmacySubscription
Pharmacist unemployment is a real issue. An oversupply pushes down wages and quality, and can impact on professionalism.
Dear Mr Hunt, do you know what we do?Subscription
Dear Jeremy Hunt, I am a community pharmacist. You want to cut our funding and I am not convinced you know what we do so I would like to tell you a story to explain what your proposals are really doing.
We want pharmacy board candidates to support local practice forumsSubscription
As a group of volunteers up and down the country, local practice forum (LPF) steering group members work hard to provide a local offering for members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS). This includes, but is not limited to: education and training events; research symposia; networking and support; mentoring opportunities; PR campaigns with local politicians; engagement with schools and universities; liaising with third sector organisations and plenty more, to ensure the profession ...
Let's have an open and frank discussion about what we want from the RPSSubscription
Many pharmacists I have spoken to agree that the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) has lost touch with its members and that The Pharmaceutical Journal is irrelevant to them. These are seasoned pharmacists with years of experience and significant responsibility within the areas in which they work.
Problem with registering for NHSmailSubscription
I am aware that the NHS Urgent Medicine Supply Advanced Service (NUMSAS) is due to be launched in the North West of England in May 2017. Our pharmacy had previously applied for a shared NHSmail account because this is an essential part of the qualifying criteria for the NUMSAS. I have repeatedly enquired on the progress of this application, receiving the reply that pharmacies registered for NUMSAS were prioritised. The problem is that pharmacies cannot register for NUMSAS until they ...
Informative video about biosimilar medicines for patientsSubscription
The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) has put together a video about biosimilar medicines which are entering the UK market as originator biologic medicines come off-patent. We want to encourage pharmacists and their staff to signpost suitable patients who are currently being prescribed biologics to this important new resource.
Identifying antibiotics associated with Clostridium difficile infection Subscription
The increase in Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) in the early 1990s was associated with the widespread use of clindamycin, cephalosporins and quinolones. A nationwide drive to implement strict antimicrobial stewardship guidelines has changed the nature of the antibiotics associated with C. difficile. As a result, in NHS England and the Heart of England Foundation Trust (HEFT), C. difficile incidence has decreased by over 75% from 2007 to 2017, because ...
Flossing still has its place in oral hygiene careSubscription

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
– Pablo Picasso
Going to see your health care provider can be a boring, nerve-wracking experience, especially if you're a child. Thanks to the talented art students at Saddle River Day School and a generous donation from Jennie Li and Bryan Ho, our children in foster care have some interesting art to look at when they visit our Medical Services & Advocacy Center. The lovely pieces have become conversation starters with the children and have added vibrancy to the exam area!
Camp is in full swing…please help us help our children
Many of our children would like to go to camp this summer, but we are still short of funding. We need your help!You can help transform a child's summer – and life – by helping them go to camp. Summer camp is where children learn to swim, develop a love of the outdoors and a sense of adventure and independence. Our children also go to camps that teach them cooking, sports, arts and crafts and pottery. Here's what your gift will do:
$50 will help offset the cost of sending a child to Lacrosse camp for a week.
$100 will help send a child to baseball camp for a week.
$200 will help send a child to gymnastics and cheerleading camp for a week.
$250 will help pay for two weeks of sleep away camp.
$700 will help pay for a teen to go to Frost Valley for the summer.
We also take our children on fun summer outings, such as minor league baseball games, the movies and to local water parks. We're in need of ticket donations.
Your donation will make a huge difference to our children this summer. It will do more than send a child to camp – it will open their eyes to a world of opportunities and experiences.
Summer fun in the sun
First annual Field Day for children in foster care
Our children living in our group homes had a blast during their summer Field Day at Van Saun Park. There were four teams-- the Safe Journey Ironman, Path II Princesses, Woodlea Warriors and Path I Cool Kids – and each child wore a shirt that their team designed. The day was packed with games, including bean bag and water balloon toss, jump rope, relay race, arts and craft and volleyball. Field day ended with a staff vs. kids kickball game.
Special thanks to United Water's volunteers for helping to staff the event and for providing water and ice. Everyone had a fun and memorable day!
Turrell summer campers' adventures
Campers at Turrell Child Care & Early Learning Center are keeping their minds sharp and staying active this summer. The camp's theme is "Literary Adventure," and the campers are reading about graphic novel super heroes like Iron Man, casting magic spells with Harry Potter, and discovering Greek and Roman mythology with Percy Jackson.They also take frequent breaks for fun activities, such as the egg toss game pictured here.

Bibliographic Details
Title: THE EMPTY FAMILY: STORIES - Scarce Pristine ...
Publisher: New York City, NY: Scribner, 2011
Binding: Hardcover
Book Condition: As New
Dust Jacket Condition: As New
Signed: Signed by Author
Edition: 1st Edition.
1st Printing. Signed. 280 pages. Published in 2011. Retrospective collection of short stories. One of the greatest short story collections of our time. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Colm Toibin's "The Empty Family". Nine stories which have received near-universal acclaim from fellow writers, critics, and readers. Some (but not all) of the stories are gay-themed even though Colm Toibin does not self-identify as a gay writer (because he isn't; he is instead a writer who happens to be gay), and his books are not shelved or ghetto-listed under "gay literature". At the same time, Toibin is uncompromising towards triumphalist gay readers and advocates as well as the general audience in his depiction of gay lives that are fragile, corrupted, and broken, just like straight lives, with humanity rather than sexuality being the real problem. It is often easily forgotten or taken for granted that Toibin's unflinching yet sympathetic portraits of Ireland are unsurpassed among writers of his generation. His women characters are not a male or gay writer's fantasy projections but real women drawn from real life. Apart from his exquisite prose, Toibin's technique of telling one story in full while alluding to another in passing is nothing less than a fresh way of re-telling what is otherwise a familiar, even banal theme: The very human need for and ultimate failure of love. In Toibin's masterly hands, the story that is alluded to is of as much interest, if not even more so, as the main narrative. In the eponymous piece, the "narrated" and "suggested" stories are given nearly equal emphasis, in impressionistic writing of the most allusive kind. In the longest piece, "The Street", Toibin has written a 72-page novella that he has nevertheless decided to call a short story, as Alice Munro, one of his mentors, calls longer pieces. "This is some of Toibin's most beautiful and heart-stopping writing. The story, 'The Street', is one of the great love stories of our time, gay or straight" (Edmund White). An absolute "must-have" title for Colm Toibin collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Colm Toibin. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page or bookplate. Laid-in is a copy of the New York Public Library Souvenir Program of the event during which the signing was held. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First American Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COLM TOIBIN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 143913832X. Bookseller Inventory # 16315
Synopsis: Colm Tóibín?s exquisitely written new stories, set in present-day Ireland, 1970s Spain and nineteenthcentury England, are about people linked by love, loneliness and desire. Tóibín is a master at portraying mute emotion, intense intimacies that remain unacknowledged or unspoken. In this stunning collection, he cements his status as ?his generation?s most gifted writer of love?s complicated, contradictory power? (Los Angeles Times).
?Silence? is a brilliant historical set piece about Lady Gregory, widowed and abandoned by her lover, who tells the writer Henry James a confessional story at a dinner party. In ?Two Women,? an eminent Irish set designer, aloof and prickly, takes a job in her homeland, and is forced to confront devastating emotions she has long repressed. ?The New Spain? is the story of an intransigent woman who returns home after a decade in exile and shatters the fragile peace her family has forged in the post-Franco world. And in the breathtaking long story ?The Street,? Tóibín imagines a startling relationship between two Pakistani workers in Barcelona?a taboo affair in a community ruled by obedience and silence.
Tóibín?s characters are often difficult and combative, compelled to disguise their vulnerability and longings. Yet he unmasks them, and in doing so offers us a set of extraordinarily moving stories that remind us of the fragility and individuality of human life. As The New York Review of Books has said, Tóibín ?understands the tenuousness of love and comfort?and, after everything, its necessity.?
Review: Amazon Best Books of the Month, January 2011: A young woman returning to the small island of her childhood summers; a nephew caring for his dying aunt; two men cautiously discovering love amid a community shrouded in tradition--these are the delicately rendered characters inhabiting Colm Toibin's remarkable collection of short stories, The Empty Family. Toibin artfully constructs the quiet moments in the lives of individuals, examining the unexpected ways in which people become strangers to one another as families fragment, separate, and regenerate in new forms. With a tone that moves seamlessly between fervor and melancholy, Toibin examines the imperfect relationships of parents, children, lovers, and friends, and--with a befitting nod toward Henry James--the meaning of love in its many forms. In The Empty Family, Toibin proves once again that his mastery of language is matched only by his acute understanding of human longing. --Lynette Mong

Then all you need is to set up SSH keys and have a script similar to: ########### #!/bin/bash REMOTE_HOST=remote.host REMOTE_USER=remoteuser REMOTE_FILEPATH=/path/to/remotefile.txt LOCAL_FILEPATH=/path/to/localfile.txt scp $REMOTE_USER at REMOTE_HOST:$REMOTE_FILEPATH $LOCAL_FILEPATH # Optionally convert the file (uncomment the correct direction below to # activate) #dos2unix $LOCAL_FILEPATH #unix2dos $LOCAL_FILEPATH ########### So long as the user you run that as has its public SSH key in "authorized_keys" on $REMOTE_HOST it should do everything you need. Can you explain why you have to use WinSCP? Ben -- Unix Support, MISD, University of Cambridge, England Plugger of wire, typer of keyboard, imparter of Clue Life Is Short. It's All Good.

Well Balanced Spiritual Life
Memorizing Scritpure is like Breakfast
Most of us wouldn't think about leaving the house & facing a day of work without some kind of breakfast! Maybe it's just morning coffee or a couple of eggs or at the least a breakfast muffin. But most of us need something to eat before lunch. We're busy, lots of work to be done, and we need energy!
Isn't our spiritual life the same?!? All too often we leave the safety of our home and enter a busy work day and step out into the world ill-equipped for the challenges ahead. My suggestion for a spiritual breakfast is to begin memorizing a verse a week.
Joshua 1:8 says, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success."
It's Tough to Meditate on Something you Don't Know
The only way to really meditate on scripture, so that it does not depart from your mouth, is to get it inside your head! It's really a lot easier than you think. I've got one friend who is memorizing the book of Colossians right now. He memorizes a couple of verses a day & reviews the earlier verses (Thanks Justin for all these great resources & for encouraging me to memorize!).
Great Resources for Scripture Memory!
Here are some great words from John Piper on memorizing scripture: http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/TasteAndSee/ByDate/2006/1799_Why_Memorize_Scripture/
I've been working on memorizing a verse a week with my boys. Currently we are on our 4th verse. I print them on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper and hang them in their room so they can see them throughout the day. Sometimes they even work on them on their own. We can also review former verses this way.
Here's a link to a complete set of verses to help you memorize a verse a week for the next 5 years (check our "Fighter Verses")! Also some great articles on how to memorize entire books of the Bible: http://www.hopeingod.org/resources/scripture-memory/fighter-verse-program
We're finally settled on memorizing in the ESV (English Standard Version). It's a great translation, very literal, and a little awkward at times. Seems to help in locking in some of the words. Especially when they are a little quirky.
Take the Challenge
Seems like cereals are always trying to get us to take the challenge, to try them for a week. I dare you to try meditating on scripture by memorizing. It may sound "old school" but it will change your life!
—Dallas Willard, professor of Philosophy at the University of Southern California, wrote, "Bible memorization is absolutely fundamental to spiritual formation. If I had to choose between all the disciplines of the spiritual life, I would choose Bible memorization, because it is a fundamental way of filling our minds with what it needs. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth. That's where you need it! How does it get in your mouth? Memorization" ("Spiritual Formation in Christ for the Whole Life and Whole Person" in Vocatio, Vol. 12, no. 2, Spring, 2001, p. 7).
A Fresh Idea
In a world full of never ending information, sometimes a short quote can be just the thing to stir a fresh idea or offer new direction.
If you lead a small group I think you will find this helpful as you pray & prepare to lead group.
"In Small Group a goal is to stop talking about STUFF and to start talking about OURSELVES."
Ever find your group discussing, debating, and solving the problems of the world but never really changing personally? Make sure you are talking about yourselves!
I love to challenge people with some of the following questions:
-"That's a great idea, so what would that look like in your life this week?"
-"So we've talked a lot about what this could look like. What are you going to do personally?"
-"What are you leaving here with tonight?"
What do you think? How do you get people to talk about themselves? Especially when it comes to "applying" Biblical content.
Post your answers and let's learn together!

How to solve the 0xc000007b error in Windows 8
Please tell me how do i solve this Windows 0xc000007b "the application was unable to start correctly" error. I keep getting this when ever i try to install multiple software and run them. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Yes this is a common error faced by many Windows users and the good news is that it can be fixed. However you will need to try each method that i describe below in order to fix it. You don't need to worry these are very simple steps and hopefully they will fix the issue.
Option#1: In many cases, the .Net framework installed on your PC is causing the trouble. To fix it, download and install the framework from this link:
Option#2: It is also possible that the program or data that you are installing got corrupted during installation. In this case, you will have to try to Remove and Re-install the program again.
Option#3: You can also try running the program as an administrator. Sometimes running the program as a normal user or admin can also cause this problem. To run the program as an administrator, simply Right-click on the application shortcut and click on "Run As Administrator".
Option#4: Restarting your PC might also help fix this problem. Sometimes the files cause problems on running windows because other processes are running. Do try to restart once.
Option#5: If your Windows hasn't been updated for a long time then perhaps this is the best time to update it. Many corrupt and missing files get fixed automatically when new updates are applied.
Option#6: Install Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit or 64-bit depending upon the version of Windows you are running. You can download both from here:
32-bit LINK
64-bit LINK
Hopefully after trying these steps the problem will be solved. Do let me know if it gets fixed or if you get in to trouble. Thanks.
Wow! Option#1 solved my problem in no time! Thanks a lot. Wasn't expecting such a fast reply from your side. Thanks you so much for the prompt service.

I have chosen him for a good reason. His photo album displays the most natural smiles of all the smiles of all the other dentist that I have reviewed. When I had my veneers done last year, everybody told me oh you look much better what have you done to your face but in reality i had my smile redone , that was as awsome experience.
That's the best compliment you can get people look at you and say you look great but they can't pinpoint what it is exactly what has changed. The amount of detail which comes into fabricating porcelain veneers is quite interesting, as he has a photo album of his work with lots of details which can be placed into a porcelain veneer, I spend a good 30 minutes looking at all the photos until I decided what I wanted and that's exactly what I got. I couldn't be any happier and I'm very grateful to this man and his office staff. I get approached by strangers all the time who compliment me on my smile !
He is very friendly, down to earth, easy to talk to and the lab technician is truly an artist like himself.
