Every Woman's Journey
Mood and Food
How what you eat affects how you feel
Come learn how different foods affect your mood and can be used to help regulate your emotions. Find out the answer to the question on many women's minds: does chocolate really make you happy?
With Nancee Perez, RD
PROMPT Training
Our Goals and Objectives
All scenarios: Closed loop communication is key to all critical situations and is stressed throughout all of the scenarios. Participants repeatedly see how improved closed-loop communication yields better outcomes during the simulation.
Local Anesthesia Systemic Toxicity (L.A.S.T): The ultimate goal of this scenario is for the team to deliver the baby within 5 minutes. During that time we look to ensure that proper ACLS/BLS occurs during the attempted resuscitation. At the debrief portion, the anesthesiologist explains the pathophysiology of L.A.S.T and the warning signs that accompany it.
Shoulder Dystocia: The goal is for the MD to not exceed routine axial traction. Use of a force-monitoring newborn mannequin is used to measure the actual force applied. We also afford each learner (nurses and anesthesiologists included) an opportunity to perform a shoulder dystocia delivery and give them real-time feedback on the amount of pressure they are applying. The importance of clear and accurate documentation is always emphasized during the debrief.
Postpartum Hemorrhage: Early recognition of maternal hemorrhage- Both overt and occult bleeding simulations are used to emphasize the importance of early recognition. Participants learn to clue-in on the patient's complaints, vital signs and clinical presentation. This scenario also gives the team a chance to become reacquainted with the hemorrhage cart and its contents. The team is also evaluated on how quickly they begin fluid resuscitation and invoke the Massive Transfusion Protocol.
Sepsis: We emphasize the importance of the "Golden Hour" and the need to start antibiotics and fluids, specifically 30ml/kg, immediately. The goal is to observe the team initiate the fluids before waiting for a drop in the blood pressure. We also look to see if the team orders serum lactate levels with the initial blood draw.
High Spinal Block: The main goal is that the team recognizes the respiratory compromise and begins supporting the airway immediately. No CPR is required if the team prevents the respiratory arrest from deteriorating into full arrest. Close attention to the patient's clinical status and proper communication of the vital signs are key. Mistaking respiratory arrest for full arrest can cause harm to the patient.
Managing Eclamptic Seizures: Our goal is to see that the participants protect the patient from self-harm and verbalize the need to start giving medications only if the seizure was prolonged or recurred frequently. Proper management of the blood pressure is also examined and discussed during the debrief portion.
The class was improved throughout the year by making the situations more clinically accurate and eliminating detractors such as irrelevant lab values. The flow from one simulation to the next was improved by using a different room for debriefing. This allowed the participants to focus on the video playback and discuss openly what they felt they had done well and what they felt they had missed. We also adjusted the rotation of the learners so that they were able be involved in different aspects of the patient's care. Sometimes the physician was the primary O.B. for the patient, other times they were called in emergently to assist with another MD.
The team-building aspect of this class, although hard to quantify, was of extreme value. Doctors and nurses come from different backgrounds and are trained differently. Having them spend 8 hours shoulder to shoulder working through difficult scenarios sheds much light on each participant's thought processes and allows them to anticipate each other's next move. Critical situations run more smoothly when the team is cohesive and communicates effectively.
Two Experiences of the Living Well After Cancer Program
Marilyn Franke was diagnosed in December 2009 at 58 years old. She began the program about three months after finishing her radiation treatment for breast cancer. "I didn't know what to expect and I was concerned it would be more than I could handle as I was still so fatigued from treatment," shared Marilyn.
Samantha Day was diagnosed in January of 2006 at 41 years old. She joined the program a couple of years after cancer treatment for breast cancer. "I have always been physically active, but I was interested in taking the different classes and learning new ways of staying healthy," explained Samantha.
Both ladies felt the camaraderie of the other participants was a huge factor in getting the most out of the program. Marilyn felt, "If others who had more aggressive treatment than I did can do the program, than I can too!" "I loved the laughs we shared while exercising and the trainers made sure that everyone in my group felt connected no matter what their fitness level was," said Samantha. This program is specially designed to work with cancer survivors and is structured to not push participants past their current strength and fitness level. Everyone works at their own pace and not pressured to do activities they don't want to try. The program offers classes in Zumba, Yoga, Lo-impact Aerobics, Pilates, Aqua and Hooping. Most participants are eager to try all the classes, in addition to the cardio and strength training that is part of the program.
Both Samantha and Marilyn felt the class was very beneficial and would recommend it highly to other cancer survivors. "It really helped with my fatigue, both emotionally and physically. I felt so much better after the program and was able to return to the activities I did before going through cancer treatment. I also thought the trainers were great and very supportive to the group." said Marilyn. Samantha says, "I loved having access to The Claremont Club during the program. My husband came to the club each time I went to class and worked-out in the weight and cardio room, and he also took a few classes. The entire staff was kind and friendly to everyone in the group. I learned so much about health and wellness and nutrition. At the end of the program there was a cooking demonstration and we all got to eat the healthy food after – it was great fun. All cancer survivors should attend this program."
Did this program change their life after cancer? "Yes - it gave me more confidence and brought joy back into my life. It was fun to look forward to going to the classes," shared Marilyn. Samantha agreed, "My focus went back to living my life not focusing on the cancer."
$100 Cardiovascular Screenings
Cardiovascular disease causes more deaths than cancer, respiratory disease, and accidents combined. Risk of stroke and heart attack increases with age, especially after 40 and even more if you smoke, have high blood pressure, or a family history of cardiovascular disease. About one-third of cardiovascular deaths occur before age 75.
A simple $100 screening could save your life.
A healthier future is just a phone call away. Schedule your screening by calling Stead Heart and Vascular Center
$100 Mammogram Program
Mammograms save lives. And, despite recent confusion, the American Cancer Society states that all women—starting at age 40—should have a yearly screening mammogram. The good news is that 92% of screening mammograms detect nothing suspicious. And, more detailed studies find breast cancer in only 2% of women. Which means, for almost all women, peace of mind is only a mammogram away.
And the Breast Health Center at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center wants to give every woman access to that peace of mind by offering high-tech digital mammograms at the lowest possible price.
The cost is just $100.
Which is a bargain for women with health insurance with a high co-pay or deductible, or even no insurance at all. Call 909.469.9395 to schedule your appointment at one of our three convenient locations; the Breast Health Center within The Robert and Beverly Lewis Family Cancer Care Center, the Pomona Valley Health Centers in Claremont or Chino Hills.
Peace of mind is just a phone call away, so call today.

The CleverArm motorised micromanipulator is built to highest standards for patch clampers who need absolute reliability, stability and precision.
The reliable stepper motors are driven by electronics mounted on the manipulator body, with a single power cable powering the card. The drive card receives commands from the CleverControl cuboid and the PC software via Wi-Fi signal.
Different frequency settings can be selected to coordinate different MCI devices in the lab. Cables are therefore kept to a minimum, which reduces the chances of electrical noise being picked by the typical bird's nest of cables around the setup. Opting for the wireless solution also solves the problem of cables exerting a pulling force on the manipulator, often a cause of electrode drift.
The CleverControl Cuboid has three ergonomically positioned control wheels for controlling the manipulator stages. The Cuboid also allows access to many more complex manipulator functions through the intuitive software. Six click-buttons are positioned next to the LCD screen to control the manipulator functionality through different screen directories. This allows the user to customise manipulator movement variables and offers extra functionality, like setting user preferences, memory positions and protocols.
The starting point for developing this manipulator technology was to meet and exceed the basic micromanipulator requirements for the electrophysiologist –
Stability – less than 1 um drift per hour. Each individual manipulator is tested in our laboratory and won't be shipped before meeting this criterium. A recording of this drift test will be included as a "birth certificate" when the CleverArm arrives in your lab. This is done under typical experimental conditions, so you can trust this specification to be real, and not a theoretical value, as is the case with some other brands.
Electrical Noise – The Wi-Fi signal emits a frequency outside the range of interest to the neuroscientist. These manipulators can be used for recording the smallest of signals without noise issues.
Reliable Stepper Motor Technology – Our stepper motors offer smooth movement (smoothness of 20nm – minimum step size of 100nm) and reliability that allows us to confidently offer our excellent 3-year warranty.
Modular – The modularity of the system allows for flexible positioning of the manipulator next to your rig. It also means you can switch between left and right handedness easily.
Virtual Diagonal Axis – an angular detector senses the angle of the electrode-mounting plate. The electrode can be moved at this angle when the Diagonal Axis function is activated.
Warranty – For your peace of mind, the CleverArm manipulator comes with a 3-year warranty, showing our confidence in this technology.
Why should this be your next micromanipulator? Judge for yourself – request a demonstration or more information on the CleverArm – the next generation in micromanipulator technology.
In this video you'll find out how you can adjust the horizontal rotary lock of the CleverArm in an anti-clockwise direction

|The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in a recent 3-2 decision involving Browning-Ferris Industries of California re-defined its standard for determining joint-employer status. The Board held that its previous joint employer standard had failed to keep pace with changes in the workplace and economic circumstances in light of the large numbers of the nation's employees employed through temporary agencies (Board Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce was joined by Members Kent Y. Hirozawa and Lauren McFerran in the majority opinion; Members Philip A. Miscimarra and Harry I. Johnson III dissented). This decision follows a similar case late last year where the NLRB General Counsel ruled that McDonald's, as a franchisor, can be held liable for employment decisions made by its approximately 13,000 US franchised outlets.
The NLRB has repeatedly changed its standard on whether temporary or leased employees may vote in the same bargaining unit as a company's "regular" employees. During the Clinton Presidency, temporary/leased employees could vote with regular employees if they were "jointly employed" by the leasing/temporary agency and the Company, but during the Bush Presidency temporary/leased employees could not be placed into the same bargaining unit with regular company employees unless all parties agreed to this inclusion—the union, the Company and the temporary/leasing agency.
The Board reasoned in this case that two or more entities are joint employers of a single workforce if they are both employers within the meaning of the common law; and if they share or codetermine those matters governing the essential terms and conditions of employment. In evaluating whether an employer possesses sufficient control over employees to qualify as a joint employer, the Board will, among other factors consider whether an employer has exercised control over terms and conditions of employment indirectly through an intermediary, or whether it has reserved the authority to do so.
So the Board found that BFI was a joint employer with Leadpoint, the company that supplied employees to BFI to perform job duties for BFI such as cleaning and sorting of recycled products. The Board based its decision on the fact that BFI had indirect and direct control that over essential terms and conditions of employment of the employees supplied by Leadpoint as well as BFI's reserved authority to control such terms and conditions.
Board members Miscimarra and Johnson in their dissent stated that this decision will "subject countless entities to unprecedented new joint-bargaining obligations that most do not even know they have, to potential liability for unfair labor practices and breaches of collective bargaining agreements, and to economic protest activity, including what have heretofore been unlawful secondary strikes, boycotts and picketing." They added that "the majority abandons a longstanding test that provided certainty and predictability, and replaces it with an ambiguous standard that will impose unprecedented bargaining obligations on multiple entities in a wide variety of business relationships, even if this is based solely on a never-exercised "right" to exercise "indirect" control over what a Board majority may later characterize as "essential" terms. This new test leaves employees, unions, and employers in a position where there can be no certainty or predictability regarding the identity of the "employer."
If you have questions regarding this and other joint employment issues call CAI's Advice and Resolution Team at 919-878-9222 or 336-668-7746.

Global spectroscopy of the water monomer
Given the large energy required for its electronic excitation, the most important properties of the water molecule are governed by its ground potential energy surface (PES). Novel experiments are now able to probe this surface over a very extended energy range, requiring new theoretical procedures for their interpretation. As part of this study, a new, accurate, global spectroscopic-quality PES and a new, accurate, global dipole moment surface are developed. They are used for the computation of the high-resolution spectrum of water up to the first dissociation limit and beyond as well as for the determination of Stark coefficients for high-lying states. The water PES has been determined by combined ab initio and semi-empirical studies. As a first step, a very accurate, global, ab initio PES was determined using the all-electron, internally contracted multi-reference configuration interaction technique together with a large Gaussian basis set. Scalar relativistic energy corrections are also determined in order to move the energy determinations close to the relativistic complete basis set full configuration interaction limit. The electronic energies were computed for a set of about 2500 geometries, covering carefully selected configurations from equilibrium up to dissociation. Nuclear motion computations using this PES reproduce the observed energy levels up to 39 000 cm(-1) with an accuracy of better than 10 cm(-1). Line positions and widths of resonant states above dissociation show an agreement with experiment of about 50 cm(-1). An improved semi-empirical PES is produced by fitting the ab initio PES to accurate experimental data, resulting in greatly improved accuracy, with a maximum deviation of about 1 cm(-1) for all vibrational band origins. Theoretical results based on this semi-empirical surface are compared with experimental data for energies starting at 27 000 cm(-1), going all the way up to dissociation at about 41 000 cm(-1) and a few hundred wavenumbers beyond it.

- Reviewer: Staff
Adored by some and thought abrasive and disagreeable by others, fashion icon Diana Vreeland and her psyche and cultural milieu are superbly deconstructed by Amanda Mackenzie Stuart (Consuelo and Alva Vanderbilt: The Story of a Daughter and Mother in the Gilded Age). Vreeland (1903–1989) was fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar and later the infamous editor-in-chief of Vogue during the tumultuous 1960s. Told she was ugly by her troubled and beautiful mother, Vreeland escaped into a private fantasy world. Her creation of an idealized image she called the Girl, coupled with a creative flair "and the development of an idiosyncratic way with words," propelled Vreeland into becoming one of the most influential tastemakers in American fashion. Photos by Richard Avedon, snapped around the world from the Arctic Circle to the Far East, paired with "Youthquake" fashions modeled by Jean Shrimpton and Veruschka, exposed readers to new ways of seeing fashion and the world. Vreeland possessed that rare sense for the next "it" object, person, or music style of the moment. "She looked instead for trends, particularly those that played themselves out through fashion and she put her own stamp on the decade as she did so." Stuart's biography is a tasty and erudite study of a complicated woman and her turbulent and colorful cultural life and times. (Dec.)
The patina of taste
Diana Vreeland launched herself at Harper's Bazaar with the column "Why Don't You?": "Why don't you rinse your blonde child's hair in dead champagne to keep its gold, as they do in France?" Such love for the superficial and luxurious may have been out of step with the austerity of the 1930s, but it foretold the direction of much of 20th-century American fashion. As fashion editor at both Harper's Bazaar and Vogue—where she was an early promoter of "youthquake" trends in the 1960s—and later as curator of the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute, Vreeland's professional influence was as eccentric as her personal style.
Rail-thin with severe black hair and a distinctive, crane-like profile, Vreeland's style developed as compensation for her perception that she was unattractive. In the insightful new biography Empress of Fashion, Amanda Mackenzie Stuart shows how Diana's debutante mother rejected her "ugly" daughter in favor of her more conventionally pretty sister. This hurt Diana, but she did not allow it to shape her life. Reinventing herself as "The Girl"—immaculate, stylish and positive—led to five decades of fashion-forward professional success.
Stuart uses Vreeland's vulnerable roots to create a sympathetic portrait of Diana, and also to explain her notorious lies about her background, such as her stories about growing up in Belle Époque Paris instead of New York City. She believed in telling the best story possible; if that meant gliding over the hurt of being an unloved daughter, so be it.
Diana Vreeland's life story is oddly inspiring. Why don't you give a copy of Empress of Fashion to your favorite fashionista this holiday season?

Ban cell phone use while driving?
The vast majority of cell phone owners who safely use them while driving have a right to be upset about a federal push to make everybody "hang up and drive."
The government should not punish all motorists for the bad driving of a few: Instead of a blanket ban on cell phone use by all drivers, it would make more sense to target those who can't seem to safely drive and talk on the phone at the same time. They should be cited by police for inattentive driving.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood recently said he supports banning all cell-phone use by drivers, including hands-free devices.
Saying that cell phones are an unsafe distraction for drivers, the Transportation Department is pushing for action, and according to the Star Tribune, it comes as Minnesota lawmakers have been looking into ways to build on the state's ban on driver texting and restrictions on teens with phones.
The national push includes a new federal Web site, www.distraction.gov, and a new nonprofit organization called FocusDriven, modeled on Mothers Against Drunk Driving and dedicated to the elimination of cell-phone use by drivers.
Janet Froetscher, president of the National Safety Council, supports the federal effort.
"We hope 2010 will be the year that we build a national consensus on the dangers of cell-phone use while driving," she said.
Safety Council research estimates that 1.4 million crashes a year are caused by drivers talking on phones, up from the 600,000 crashes a year estimated in a Harvard study from 2003.
The number of cell-phone users in the nation has more than doubled since then, to 270 million, she said.
The crash tally translates to one-fourth of all crashes nationwide. In Minnesota, about a quarter of crashes cite distraction as a contributing factor, according to the state's Department of Public Safety.
Even Oprah is hopping on the anti cell phone bus: On Monday, she helped kick off a national campaign to get drivers to put down their cell phones, and pay attention to the road.
The federal government is talking about using a carrot and stick approach to encourage states to adopt laws banning cell phone use while driving. LaHood said the federal government will consider financial incentives and penalties to encourage states to pass new restrictions.
State Sen. Steve Murphy, DFL-Red Wing, who heads the Senate transportation committee, said there will likely be a move this year to get the issue on the table in preparation for the 2011 legislative session.
Minnesota won't want to lose out if any federal funding becomes tied to a cell-phone ban, but that doesn't mean the public support is there for a ban. Gov. Tim Pawlenty does not support a full ban.
The Democrats on both the state and federal levels might want to back off on intrusive goverment measures like this one: the public is getting sick of them, and so are we.

Popularity in vaporizers has steadily increased year after year and with relaxing laws on weed it'll only get bigger. The market, in case you haven't seen the inside of your local smoke shop, is saturated with all types of weed vaporizers – pens, portable or desktop – that are looking for an owner. Which one's the one that works for your buzz? There are four of the thousands you can choose from – here's what they can do for your cannabis needs.
NimbinVap 4.0
This vaporizer gets a worthy mention from its uniqueness alone. First off, it's a pen constructed with interesting materials – hemp and beeswax among others – that make it 100% organic. The active charcoal filter picks up any particles made from the spent buds. It's also very small – around four inches long.
The NimbinVap 4.0 can be used in eight ways. It can be used in style similar to a pipe. Other styles let you use it to create makeshift hookahs, bongs and desktop vaporizer. There's other ways you can use it that you can see when you look on the NimbinVap website.
Lynx Vapor
The Lynx is a handheld beauty that is worth mentioning because it has four temperature settings. The flavor changes at when you heat the concentrate at a lower temperature, so it's definitively avape pen you wanna play around with. The hits are efficient from ceramic chamber, wick and titanium chamber that makes clean vapor.
From the outside it almost looks like a silver pen, and you can easily hide it in your palm if you want to be more discrete. It's very safe too – no melt-prone plastic or rubber, just high-quality rubber and glass.
Firefly 2
This upgrade from the previous model can work from either loose-leaf cannabis or concentrate. Just by touching the side sensors you get started on the process in zero-to-vapor instantly. The Firefly is all about heating the dry herb as you inhale so you get the experience as the THC is activated.
It's smartphone friendly, which is odd to say for a vaporizer but check this out. When you install the Firefly app, you can set the device to six setting for that precise hit. It also comes with 2 rechargeable batteries, a dock and a USB cable for a complete charging set.
Atmos Forge
This one is geared towards wax consistency pot, so this is definitely for aficionados. The package comes with a strong battery a dual coil atomizer. The dual coil combines with the titanium coil for an efficient vapor produced from the wax.
The chamber is coated with high quality materials and the mouthpiece protects you from any little spills that may come out from the pull. You can also adjust the airflow on it. There are a lot mouth pieces you can switch out from the battery for a different experience.
Vaporizers for all kinds and pleasures
These are just some of the weed vaporizers available for the biggest cannabis fans. There are so many that play around with dabbing using glass, huge industrial-grade ones and vape pens that might be up your pot alley. Just check out the reviews or videos and see after those sweet exhales which one looks the most appealing for you.

The Catholic Church has paid more than $2 billion in abuse settlements in the US alone in the past decade. Cases of sexual abuse by catholic priests have emerged in Ireland, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy and New Zealand to name a few, and such actions have severely damaged the credibility and appeal of the Catholic Church.
Members of the church hierarchy argue that sexual abuse is a common phenomenon in the secular world as well as in other religious institutions, and the rate of incidence is lower than in the general adult male population. Citing the ills prevalent in other religious denominations or society at large to justify one's own despicable actions is pathetic. Just because sexual abuse is a prevalent offence doesn't make it okay. An institution that derives its legitimacy from spirituality, purity of values and the will of God should be horrified at such offences as they poison the very root of its authority.
Public outcry and media hype focuses on the fact that not only are these abuses taking place, but they are being covered up by the top brass of the institution. Instead of recognizing the issue, reporting the crimes and working to address the cause of such behavior, the clergy is trying to cover their tracks by outright denial, moving the accused to a different parish or concealing evidence. Not only has the Church not reported many of these crimes, it has worked aggressively to obstruct any investigation into these allegations.
Many of the accused priests were sent for psychological treatment but more often than not this didn't cure them. The hierarchy has been harshly criticized for not acting more decisively to remove and defrock these priests, and the international outcry has put added pressure on them to act. On March 18, 2010 the Pope formally apologized for "stray priests" and asked the victims for their forgiveness and the guilty for their penitence. The Vatican on the 12th of April, 2010 also posted a guide online outlining the procedures it wants bishops to follow in abuse cases, but only words will no longer placate the public.
People want to see drastic changes in the procedures of the Church and Vatican. They want more transparency on the part of the chain of command, consequences for the offenders, cooperation with investigative authorities as well as compliance with civil law. The bishops should not be allowed to hold trials, pass judgments and take matters into their own hands, as the clergy is not above the law.
In November 2009, the Irish Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse reported its findings in which it concluded that, "the Church's pre-occupations in dealing with cases of child sexual abuse, at least until the mid 1990s, were the maintenance of secrecy, the avoidance of scandal, the protection of the reputation of the Church, and the preservation of its assets. All other considerations, including the welfare of children and justice for victims, were subordinated to these priorities."
How can one follow an institution that not only comprises of people who can commit such crimes, but is led by people who do nothing about it? The Pope along with every member of the Christian fraternity can no longer let offences go unpunished to protect their name. The standing of the Catholic Church doesn't depend on secrecy or lack of scandal; it depends on the public believing that their church is the house of God and their priest a pure spiritual leader.

Statement of Senator Barack Obama on Agreement in Kenya
"I join the people of Kenya and their friends all over the world in welcoming yesterday's power-sharing agreement. I congratulate President Kibaki and Raila Odinga and the people of Kenya for taking the steps necessary to achieve this important agreement. I applaud Kofi Annan, whose persistence and skill made this breakthrough possible, as well as President Kufuor, President Kikwete, Secretary Rice, Archbishop Tutu, former President Mkapa and so many others who worked hard to support the Kenyan people in their time of crisis.
Kenya's power-sharing agreement is a vital step forward, but it must not lead to complacency. The difficult work of constitutional and electoral reform, strengthening the rule of law, land reform, and addressing underlying inequalities in Kenyan society remains to be done. To build lasting peace and sustained progress, all members of the new coalition must make an enduring commitment to democracy, cooperation and national unity. Reforms must be implemented with a sense of urgency in order to restore peace and the confidence of the Kenyan people in their government and hard-won democracy. The United States, and the international community, must remain fully engaged and provide generous support to ensure swift and full implementation of this agreement.
As we look forward to a more hopeful future for all Kenyans, we will not forget those who were lost to the terrible violence of the last several weeks. Let the legacy of those who were lost be a Kenya that is more peaceful, more prosperous, and more united."

Been seeing someone for a month, about once a week for "lunch" at his place. I left it up to him to ask me out, which he did. He thanked me for a great day and I thanked him as well. Problem is, I've only heard from him once since then, exactly a week ago and I initiated the call. What gives? I only heard from him once a week before the date, but me being a girl am assuming the worst. I guess I assumed we were dating and I might get a call or text more often.
Is it just sex, or something more?

Normal life was affected here today following a dawn-to-duskbandh called by lawyers protesting alleged mismanagement during Lord Jagannath's Brahma Parivartan rituals and demanding a judicial probe into the matter by a sitting HighCourt judge.
Train and bus services were affected during the dawn-to-dusk shut-down called by Puri District Bar Association backed by the opposition parties as lawyers held picketing at various places including the railway station, police said. Agitating lawyers also blocked railway tracks and roads.
Shops, business establishments and educational institutions remained closed in the seaside town where roads wore a deserted look as vehicular traffic came to a grinding halt during the 12-hour bandh, supported by major opposition parties like Congress and BJP.
The bandh remained peaceful and no untoward incident was reported from any place, while train services were affected for some time, police said.
While blaming Odisha Government for the Brahma Paribartan fiasco on June 15, leaders of both the parties said they backed the bandh called by lawyers as centuries-old tradition had been violated in Shree Jagannath Temple.
President of Puri District Bar Association, Premanand Mohanty said mismanagement during Brahma Paribartan ritual had hurt the sentiments of all devotees and there should be a thorough inquiry by a sitting Judge of the High Court.
Stringent action should be taken against all those responsible for gross deviation in Brahma Paribartan ritual after thorough inquiry, he said.
Autorickshaw Association in the pilgrim town also supported the bandh call.
"Brahma Paribartan" of the deities in Sri Jagannath Temple, which was scheduled to be held on 'amabasya' night and 'Sankranti' on 'Chaturdasi tithi' on June 15, was delayed amidst chaos and Daitapati priests performed the most secret and sacred ritual during day time on June 16.
High Court Bar Association also supported the bandh called by Puri lawyers. High Court Bar Association President Ashok Kumar Mohapara has called upon other Bar Associations in the state to support Puri lawyers.

Intel Capital, Intel Corporation's global investment and M&A organisation, kicked off its annual Intel Capital Global Summit by announcing investments in 10 innovative technology companies, including a strategic investment in India. Totaling approximately $40 million, they cover a range of technologies from collaborating in the cloud and delivering enhanced digital entertainment to simplifying mobile payments and enabling new forms of device interaction.
Intended to help these companies grow to the next level, the investments reinforce the Global Summit's two-day agenda focused on company building.
The investments include Bollywood and South-Asian content distributor Hungama, secure content sharing platform Box, integrated circuit design house FocalTech, social radio platform Jelli, social game developer LIFO Interactive, mobile proximity platform NewAer, e-payment platform PagPop, cloud services provider Tier 3, 3-D game developer Transmension, and mobile advertising provider UUCun. Financial details of each investment were not disclosed.
"Business deals happen when Intel Capital brings together our vast global network with our portfolio company innovators," said Arvind Sodhani, President of Intel Capital and Intel Executive Vice President. "Our annual Global Summit and the ongoing Intel Capital Technology Days provide our portfolio companies with unmatched access to the decision-making executives critical to revenue-generating sales or partnerships. The 10 new investments in innovative companies stand to benefit greatly from these longstanding company-building resources," he added.
Indian company Hungama, which received an undisclosed sum from Intel Capital, is a leading digital entertainment company that launched India's first and largest on-demand digital entertainment storefront. The storefront has over two and half million pieces of content across genres and languages, in the form of music tracks, movies, music videos & mobile content.
Sudheer Kuppam, Managing Director at Intel Capital, APAC and Japan, said of the investment, "Hungama is another great example of an innovative Indian company. It has become India's largest on-demand digital entertainment storefront, which serves audio, video and imagery to South Asians across the world. We've been aware of Hungama's success for some time, and we're excited about working with the company to develop the brand and building upon the success it has found in India by taking the venture global."
Neeraj Roy, Chairman, Hungama said, "We have been working with Intel Corp over the last few years. As a company we are delighted to have Intel Capital partner with us on the Hungama opportunity." He added, "Hungama is the only platform-agnostic digital entertainment storefront that caters to over 1.5 billion South Asians worldwide, via mobile, internet, connected devices, DTH and retail."
Intel Capital has been investing in India since 1998. Since then, Intel Capital has invested over $300 million in 80+ companies across 10 cities in India.

If promises to go nude, if a cricket teams wins, and selfies exposing way too much weren't enough, Poonam Pandey is now back with a Yoga video.
The video begins with the 'Nasha' actress quoting "Yoga Se Hi Hoga" asking viewers to have a look at her Yoga regime and asking them to follow it too.
But with the camera zooming more into her cleavage and she calling it her "Breast aasan….sorry I meant Best aasan" we wonder if her intention was actually to promote Yoga or her seduce her viewers with another controversial video.
And guess what does she name this aasan? Doggy Style!
Watch the video here; and as Poonam Pandey says, "Stay Fit, Stay Healthy, Be Sexy".

Members Voluntary Liquidation - MVLMembers Voluntary Liquidation is a formal process used to close down a solvent company. The company's assets are turned into cash and then distributed to the members. It is a more cost effective than dissolving a company due to Entrepreneur's Relief, although these rules have recently been changed - see below. An MVL is carried out by a licensed insolvency practitioner.
|Read our free expert's guide to Members Voluntary Liquidation (17 PAGE PDF)
What are the benefits of an MVL?
If you have a company that has cash, assets, few liabilities but no future purpose (so is otherwise solvent), then a members voluntary liquidation could be the best solution to your problem. As mentioned above, an MVL will allow you to take advantage of Entrepreneur's Relief. Since March 2012, the ESC C16 (Extra Statutory Concession C16) is no longer a requirement when closing a company. So, if you have in excess of £25k in an obsolete company to be taxed on shareholders via capital gains tax (CGT) instead of dividends, you need to put the company into members voluntary liquidation rather than dissolution.
If the company has cash or properties that can be turned into cash then a solvent liquidation can be used to distribute the liquid assets to shareholders or distributed "in specie" (NB subject to personal taxation depending upon an individuals circumstances). The company can then be dissolved and directors' obligations removed.
Important Notice
Be aware the government introduced new rules in April 2016.
Distributions to individuals from the solvent liquidation of a company may be subject to income tax under the following circumstances
- The company is a closed company.
- Within two years after receiving a distribution the person is involved with a similar trade or activity.
- The winding up of the company appears to be to reduce tax.
This is aimed at serial liquidators who are taking advantage of entrepreneur's relief by accumulating funds in companies and taking the money out as capital rather than income. However anyone can be caught out in the new tax.
When is the MVL procedure appropriate?
The Members Voluntary Liquidation procedure is appropriate when a solvent company has come to the end of its useful life and needs to be wound up. For example:
- When a company is an old established family business where the owners/parents have retired and children or family do not want to run the business.
- Shareholders wish to retire and have cash, property, assets etc within the company which they want to transfer into their personal estate.
- Where a rationalisation of a group of companies is required; this may involve more than one MVL or a transfer to trading companies within the group.
- Now with the new provisions of entrepreneur's relief, it is also more tax efficient to take money out of the company via an MVL rather than taking it all out as a special dividend in most cases. It is always worth checking this with your accountant first.
- File the latest set of accounts up to the date the business has ceased trading
- Sell any remaining assets of the business
- De-register for VAT
- De-register as an employer
- Collect in any monies owed to the business
- Ensure all liabilities paid.
Remember, it is NOT appropriate if the company is insolvent. If this is the case and you swear the declaration of solvency, you could be committing a criminal offence. If your business is insolvent, you should consider a company voluntary arrangement or creditors voluntary liquidation.
What does 'solvent' mean exactly?
It means the company can pay all its liabilities in full, plus statutory interest AND the liquidation costs involved in winding up the company, within 12 months of the declaration of solvency. This statutory declaration is required as part of the MVL process and the directors have to swear an affidavit that the company is solvent.
Call us and we will arrange for our licensed insolvency liquidators to talk you through the process and help prepare the paperwork. You will need to fill out a statutory declaration of solvency which is sworn in front of a solicitor. Our team will arrange all creditors meetings, correspondence and legal notices.
In order to get an MVL underway, you will need to have completed the following;
How much does an MVL cost?
In relatively simple situations, the total cost can start from £3000 + disbursements. However, it can be a complex process and will depend on the individual case. Give us a call and we can give you a no obligation estimate of the costs.
Call us now on 08009700539 for more information and advice about members voluntary liquidations. We can arrange for the appropriate insolvency practitioner to call you free of charge to discuss your options.

Pop Up Dog Park - Memphis
Creatively Using Negative Space
The Barking Lot
I was in Memphis last weekend speaking to the Tennessee Municipal League. As I explored Memphis via the trolley that runs from the Convention Center to downtown, I came across this little dog park.
The lot is only about 20 feet across and appeared to be a former building site as evinced by the wall next to it. At the TML conference I got to meet Memphis Mayor A C Wharton and he explained that the former building had become derelict and had to be torn down. Rather than let this odd sized lot sit empty and ugly the city decided to make this little pop up dog park.
Kudos to the Mayor and the City for making something simple like this happen. It is an example of a low cost, high impact (and easily removable) love note. If this land is ever needed again for some higher use, it would be easy enough to take down the dog park and hopefully pop it up somewhere else that needs a good, temporary fix. Now they just need to get some more dog owners living downtown!

Chinese Laws and Chinese Legal Systems (LAWS6001)
This unit will provide students with an overall picture of the modern Chinese legal system. It will develop a perception of its unique character by tracing its role through major social epochs and the role of law in a socialist market economy.

The unit will illustrate these perceptions through the study of various legal regimes. Lecture topics may include: Chinese legal history; Chinese legal system; criminal law and procedure; constitutional law; civil law and procedure; legal profession; environmental law; contract law; property law; company law; intellectual property law; foreign joint ventures; arbitration and mediation; foreign trade law and taxation law.

The West Indies Cricket Board has decided to put the past behind them, and decided not to appeal against Arbitrator Seenath Jairam's decision to award $1.6 million to captain Ramnaresh Sarwan in damages, for allegedly making comments over his fitness and attitude.
A report in the Trinidad and Tobago Newsday says the Board had enough reason to appeal against the decision, but did not want to have any sustained legal battles with their players.
On their official Facebook page, the WICB stated, "The WICB recognised that there were grounds for appeal of the Ramnaresh Sarwan arbitration ruling in what the WICB had been advised is a highly flawed ruling by the Arbitrator. However, the Board wished to bring closure to the issue and has settled in accordance with the decision of the Arbitrator."
Sarwan had lodged an appeal against the WICB in March last year for unfairly questioning his fitness and attitude in public. He argued that this cost him a central contract for the 2010-11 season and damaged his "reputation as a professional cricketer" and "sullied his career as an international cricketer."
The whole issue flared up when WICB Chief Executive Ernest Hilaire communicated to Sarwan that they had reviewed their series in Australia and were concerned about his "attitude and approach to fitness and physical preparation."
The report also says that the cricketing body stressed that Hilaire or any officer of the Board did not instruct any selector on any course of action relating to selection of the West Indies team.
They said that the Selection Committee only considered opinions from the WICB Medical Panel and Team Physiotherapist and it was a Fitness Report of 11 March, 2010, that stated Sarwan was not fit for selection.
The WICB pointed out that there seemed to be "the deliberate circulation, by a not unknown party who continues to pursue an agenda of personal relevance, of information pertaining to matters which have been settled. It can only serve to continue a familiar pattern of discontent and discord which is readily identifiable with a certain modus operandi."
They also complained that when the matter went to arbitration "Sarwan presented his version of the events as his evidence to the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator did not allow WICB Counsel to cross-examine Sarwan on these matters nor did the Arbitrator seek to find any evidence of the claims made by Sarwan."
"The Arbitrator simply accepted WIPA's and Sarwan's version of evidence as true despite emails and letters which could have been provided to show contrary to the claims," the board said.
