Apple has been denied permission to sue Kodak for patent infringement by the film company's bankruptcy judge, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The tech giant alleges that Kodak's digital cameras, digital photo frames and printers infringe on patents they own, according to the Times.
Judge Allan Gropper, who is presiding over Kodak's Chapter 11 proceedings in a US District Court in New York, shot down Apple's request on Thursday.

Judge Gropper's rulings apply to both a pending suit Apple has against Kodak over the patent, as well as another complaint the company wanted to file that covers damages Apple claims Kodak has owed since it filed for bankruptcy on January 19, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The pending suit in the US District Court in Rochester, New York, was stopped automatically by both the International Trade Commission (ITC) and bankruptcy law, but Apple sought to lift the "automatic stay" which protects Kodak, according to the Journal.
Though it appears to some that Apple is taking advantage of Kodak's Chapter 11 status, the struggling film company did initiate its own patent infringement lawsuit against Apple on January 10, just nine days before declaring bankruptcy, according to DailyTech.

The patent dispute is over the QuickTake 100 and 150 digital cameras that Kodak manufactured for Apple in the mid-1990s. Kodak alleged that both Apple and cellphone manufacturer HTC violated its patents with the design of the photo-taking and sharing features on their smartphone products, according to the Times.
Apple argued that it has rights to the technology defined in the patent because it was developed when Kodak and Apple were working together on the QuickTake.
In May 2011, the ITC ruled that Apple had not violated Kodak-owned patents pertaining to the way photos were displayed on digital devices. Kodak has denied Apple's claims to any ownership, the Times reported.
Judge Gropper asked Apple and Kodak to return to court on March 20 with recommendations of how to proceed with a hearing to resolve the argument efficiently, the Journal reported.
"The first 45 days are difficult in any bankruptcy case; the debtor has dozens of balls in the air, dozens of matters to take care of," the judge told an Apple lawyer during Thursday's argument, according to the Journal. "What's the need for immediate relief?"
However, Apple is worried that Kodak might sell the patent over the course of their bankruptcy, before the ownership of the patent is resolved, DailyTech reported. Kodak countered that Apple is purposely trying to slow the patent sale process, which requires that Kodak seek approval for patent auction bidding procedures under the terms of its $950 million bankruptcy loan.
The patents at stake are worth between $2.2 billion and $2.6 billion, according to DailyTech.

On 16 July during Luas Cross City works on College Green, monitoring archaeologists from Rubicon Heritage Services Ltd, working on behalf of the Railway Procurement Agency made a discovery of human remains. The archaeological team located an individual at a depth of 1.5m below the present ground surface, immediately north of the gates of Trinity College, Dublin. The individual was situated below the known level of post-medieval activity, suggesting the remains are most likely medieval or earlier in date.
Over the course of subsequent days the partial remains of at least four more individuals were uncovered within the trench; these were archaeologically excavated from the area in July. This suggests that this part of College Green functioned as a cemetery at some point in Dublin's past. Rubicon Heritage Site Director Nikolah Gilligan, who led the excavation, noted that 'all bar one of the individuals were positioned in north-south orientated grave cuts, apparently with no grave goods present.' Gilligan added that 'it is too early to confirm the date of the human remains, though the possibility that they are Viking cannot be discounted, given previously recorded Viking activity in the area.'
Rubicon Human Remains Specialist Carmelita Troy has carried out a visual assessment of the remains, confirming that at least one of the individuals was an adult male, while one of the others was a sub-adult, aged under 18 years at the time of their death.

Belfast man reunited with his mum thanks to Homeless World Cup
A homeless man has contacted his mother for the first time in a year and a half after he represented Northern Ireland in a football tournament.
Gerard Bannon (24), from the Falls Road in Belfast, starred for Northern Ireland in the Homeless World Cup which kicked off earlier this month in front of a capacity crowd in Glasgow.
More than 50 teams took part in the tournament, established to support and inspire through the sport.
Mr Bannon said: "When I became homeless I knew that football helped my mental health issues and to control my anger and ever since I have been doing stuff like that and I am representing my country now.
"It has also helped my mum get back into contact with me and know that I have changed.
"This is going to be the first time we have spoken in a year and a half and she has invited me down to see her, down over the border. It has helped me get my self-confidence back."
Gerard lives in the Ormeau Centre hostel in Belfast, but hopes to get his own flat soon. He would like to work night shifts in warehouses and has recently gained a forklift truck driving licence.
Up to 100,000 spectators watched the 416 matches which took place over seven days.

Mexico claim Homeless World Cup wins in both men and women's events
Marty Methven (29), originally from Perth in Scotland, is an ex-soldier who moved to Belfast for a relationship but found himself homeless.
He said: "It has been hard adjusting to civilian life, but I have had no problems getting motivated to get a job."
Brendan Kingsmore (27), is a former captain of the team, turned volunteer coach.
He said: "The boys are absolutely loving it, you can see a change in every single one of them, positive change.
"Some of them have issues with confidence and interacting with others but everyone has been together and they are motivating each other. It is amazing and great to see, something I thought I would never see."
From last year's team of eight players and one ex-player who is volunteer coach, seven now have homes and five have full time work.

text: Hey, sorry if I've missed a thread already asking this, but I have recently flashed my HTC Hero with FroYo (VillainROM Froyd). I have logged into my Facebook account and enabled contact syncing only for contacts already in my address book. Most of my contacts were synced with FB back in 1.5 so have the "<sn>id..." bit already in the notes, but it seems this has no use now. Only contacts who have their phone numbers published on facebook (so maybe 10% of my friends) are linked. I can enable all Facebook contacts to sync but that just adds 560 people to my contacts and still doesn't link the google contacts on my phone. Unlike in 1.5 there doesn't seem to be any option to manually link a contact with their FB profile, unless I'm missing something. Anybody got any advice? Thanks, Martin

Fashion Icons: Auntie Ameilia
by Petunia
It may come as a shock to some of you, but fashion sense is not something one is born with. Earl and I would not be half as well dressed (Ms. Mommy sometimes lets us wear or pajamas all day) if it weren't for the influence of one of our favorite people. You might call her a fashion icon, but we simply call her Auntie Amelia! Today my aunt has graciously agreed to sit down with me for a brief Q&A.
Auntie Amelia, how would you best describe your own sense of style?
I like to call it "classic casual".
What is your favorite, current, fashion trend?
Pastels and soft neutrals. I'm especially loving these paired with the ruffles and lace which are coming out this spring!
What is your least favorite fashion trend?
There are two trends I'm going to warn you about - and these are pieces of advice that will carry you through your years to come:
1. Crochet. Please don't wear it unless it is a present from G.G. or some other auntie.
2. Pastel Nail Polish. I understand you will go through stages later in life (and that Ms. Mommy thinks this trend is perfectly okay and has already bought you some pastel blue polish), but if you don't know what to do with your colors, a shade of pink will always work well.
What one piece of advice would you give to someone who is "fashion challenged"?
The most important thing in your wardrobe to have are the nice "essential" pieces (i.e. black tops, nice jeans, classic blazers). Once you have the essentials, you can change accessories and add fashion pieces to match the current trends. Spend more on the basics that you can wear across the seasons and you'll have more to spend on those fun pieces as they come and go.

Windows 7 Pro x64
Xeon Workstation BSOD after upgrade to Win 7 Pro.
I built this system in 2006, it had been running XP x64 without a problem, the s/w the customer uses, Solidworks, required the PC to be upgraded to Win 7 Pro x64 in April. He has been having consistent problems even after replacing the hard drives, the power supply and checking the ram.
Here is the config:
Supermicro X7DA8 (latest BIOS)
2 x Xeon 5160 CPUs
8 x Mushkin 2GB FB-DIMM
PNY Quadro FX 5000
2 x Adata 256GB SSD
1 x WD 500GB Green Drive (Backups)
Seasonic X-1050 1050W PS
No Overclocking!
I recently reloaded the system (again) after installing the SSDs, I used minimal drivers, just the audio and suggested Nvidia drivers recommended by Solidworks. I did not load any chipset drivers because I found that caused serious file transfer issues.
The system randomly gets BSOD, sometimes when working, sometimes when the PC is idle. Also after a fresh load of Windows that I did offsite, I had no issues while loading the PC (well none that I could not address) but once I returned the PC to his office, it BSOD the first boot. We removed his UPS and the PC booted fine, but the problems were just beginning. My guess is the hardware is just not compatible with Win 7 since we had zero issues with XP. Also I did test the RAM, but I can do it again.
Thanks for the help, this one has been driving me crazy.

Grey Matter Trailer (2011)
21 April 2011 Drama, Foreign 110 mins
Balthazar is a young African filmmaker on the brink of directing his first project, The Cycle of the Cockroach, a fictional story about a young woman who survived unspeakable atrocities only to find herself committed to the same mental institution as a man driven insane by the crimes he perpetrated during the war. Potential funders for the film insist the themes are too bleak and pessimistic-they encourage Balthazar to make a "message" film that raises awareness about gender-based violence or HIV/AIDS instead. But he refuses to give up. Instead of telling his production team the news, Balthazar continues preparations for the film without financing or equipment. After rehearsing a scene with each of the characters, reality blurs and scenes from the script materialize, provoking the question: Can a film like this exist only in the director's dreams? Armed with a daring and creative visual language...

The Sweet Life Begins
this cushion I made out of her last (and first!) fabric line, 'Beauty is You', and how much she liked it. As you can imagine I was delighted to hear this.
This led to Blend, the fabric company Cori designs for, asking if I would like some of her NEW line to see what I could make with it.
I said 'yes please!' and a package arrived last week containing this beautiful fabric.
I actually think it is even better than the first line! It is called 'The sweet life' and is full of Cori's adorable illustrations. I am working on something using the panel above and most of the other fabrics.
It's going to be a free downloadable project so if you like it you can all make one! And I've put a big order in for The Sweet Life so we'll have plenty of fabric ready when it comes out sometime in July.
The one I made a few weeks back was meant to be for a gift, but I couldn't bear to part with it once I'd finished. So I've made another one. This time with buttons.

Oh I still have two whole panels of the last line and now I know I will be buying the new one too ;) I love her fabric designs. Lucky you!ReplyDelete
That is such fun fabric and it would be fun in totes or bags.ReplyDelete

Lucky you! The fabric looks lovely.ReplyDelete
Oh I loved that original line, but never got any of it. Really wish I had. I'm definitely going to buy some of this one though. It looks so beautiful! Love the fabric bucket too :)ReplyDelete
Well look at you...I told you your star is rising!;)ReplyDelete
Those panels would look fabulous cut into the three sections...add a border around each one...get 3 sets of stretcher bars...make a quilt sandwich with each panel and staple them onto the stretcher bars then do lots of fun embroidery and embellishing on each one....hang and admire!:)
You know how much I loved beauty is you (my favourite quilt back EVER!) so can't wait to see more of this one. Have a nice trip!ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see what you're making! Have a great time in Whitby and don't forget to wave on your way past!ReplyDelete

Hi there! I was really stunned with your new project. It's really really cool and I have never thought of that ever since. Congratulations for a job well done! Thanks a lot for giving a new reason to quilt and create more useful stuff not only for ourselves but for our family.ReplyDelete

Skip to comments.The Diabetes Dilemma for Statin Users
Posted on 03/06/2012 9:26:10 PM PST by nickcarraway
Were overdosing on cholesterol-lowering statins, and the consequence could be a sharp increase in the incidence of Type 2 diabetes.
This past week, the Food and Drug Administration raised questions about the side effects of these drugs and developed new labels for these medications that will now warn of the risk of diabetes and memory loss. The announcement said the risk was small and should not materially affect the use of these medications. The data are somewhat ambiguous for memory loss. But the magnitude of the problem for diabetes becomes much more apparent with careful examination of the data from large clinical trials.
Statins have been available since the 1980s but their risk of inducing diabetes did not surface for nearly 20 years. When all the data available from multiple studies was pooled in 2010 for more than 91,000 patients randomly assigned to be treated with a statin or a sugar pill (placebo), the risk of developing diabetes with any statin was one in every 255 patients treated. But this figure is misleading since it includes weaker statins like Pravachol and Mevacor which were introduced earlier and do not carry any clear-cut risk. It is only with the more potent statins Zocor (now known as simvastatin), Lipitor (atorvastatin) and Crestor (rosuvastatin) particularly at higher doses, that the risk of diabetes shows up. The cause and effect was unequivocal because the multiple large trials of the more potent statins had a consistent excess of diabetes.
For those statins, the higher the dose, the more diabetes, though we dont have enough data yet to say with precision at which dose excess diabetes showed up for each drug. What we do know is that diabetes showed up. The numbers increase to one in 167 for patients taking 20 milligrams Crestor,

It makes me test higher in the morning.
Risk of Diabetes in Patients Taking Thiazide Diuretics
You mean your blood glucose?
USE Niacin...the real stuff...NOT the NON-flushing stuff...it has been proven to be nearly as good (or better) as statins, AND, it's cheaper. Start on a low dose and build up if you flush. The flushing won't kill you...it's just a little bothersome in the beginning.
My doc took me off Simvastin and switched me to Crestor 2 yrs ago. My cholesterol and blood sugar levels are where they should be.
I have taken Pravastatin for 14 years.
I can still remember everything from 1964....Mrs Moffat's cleavage in Music...I will die with that memory indelibly stained
but what the hell did I eat while typing 30 minutes ago?

a little memory loss so i can still eat ice cream yet remember female anatomy from 50 years ago is a damned fine trade off in my way of reckoning even if I have to study my kids to remember which is which sometimes
No one should ever take statins period. They are killers. The reason they are prescribed is bogus. The cholesterol is harmful argument is bogus. They kill your immune system and hurt your body and mind, permanently.
Why don't you make your kids wear name tags?
lol...that actually elicited a laff out loud in my home office
well done
i'm gonna crash on that note if I can find the bed..it's somewhere upstairs
(just listen for wifey's snoring)
Lipitor definitely contributes to memory loss that mimics dementia. Doctors have prescribed dosages that are much too high and should be cut in half, generally.
Laughing is a good way to call it a night. And lowers cholesterol.
Yes, Sorry.

i have been taking red rice yeast (2) and 2000mg niacin for the past year. also lost 22 pounds and exercis at least 200 minutes a week. my overall went from 241 to 183 and all my numbers are great. i take my niacin at night as i turn off the light and am usually asleep before the minor (for me) flushing starts.
Doesn't the flushing ever stop.....I take 1500 a day, and never flush anymore, unless I miss a couple doses.

Complaint Review: Ripoff Report | California Southern University
- California Southern University
United States of America
- Phone:
- Web: www.calsouthern.edu/
- Category: Adult Career & Continuing Education
California Southern University TRUSTED BUSINESS REVIEW: CalSouthern University offers accredited degrees & certificates, using a proprietary online learning platform. Students engage with other learners as well as highly qualified faculty mentors who are experience practitioners & experts in their fields. As an accredited institution recognized by the US Department of Education, the university maintains the highest standards at every level of the organization.
*UPDATE: Recognized by Ripoff Report Verified™ as a safe business service.
EDitor's UPDATE: A positive rating and recognition has been given to California Southern University for its commitment to maintain high standards and ethical business practices.
CalSouthern contacted Ripoff Report with the intent of wanting to address and resolve any customer issues and reports posted on Ripoff Report. They have joined the Corporate Advocacy Program because they want customers to know they will go to great lengths to resolve any and all customer issues.
Upon visiting their location in Irvine, California, our third party verifiers found a thriving organization that was warm and welcoming, eager to discuss what they call "the CalSouthern difference", a personalized approach to online learning which ensures that each learner receives the individual attention they need to be effective in an online learning environment. [continued below]....
The information provided in this report is based on comments made by university officials during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward California Southern University.
Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
In order to provide a great educational experience for potential students Cal Southern University has a proprietary model that looks at all students as prospective learners. They provide information about the school to see if the university is the right fit for them. Unlike other for-profit institutions which actively advertise to enroll students, Cal Southern takes a passive approach to see if they are a good fit. They have created a mandatory login for courses, which can be done at the students discretion based on their schedule and convenience factor. They have incorporated a mentor based learning model which allows students to be connected to their Advisor, Associate Dean, and Dean.
California Southern University is currently accredited with Distance Education Learning and are in the eligibility stage of WASC.
All of the professors at their university have one degree higher than what they are teaching, unless it is a terminal degree (Ph.D). Each has a masters with 18 credits from regionally accredited schools.
Customer Care
Since complaints were made on Ripoff Report, their university has made some changes to provide a better level of understanding about the expectations that they expect from prospective students. For example, now both students and alumni have complete access to an easy to navigate website with all details for them to understand and to provide them with standard information about the institution.
If a complaint is made, there are certain standards they take to effectively resolve them. Student complaints can come at different levels: to the advisor, associate dean, and dean. These issues are usually resolved immediately. There is an official complaint procedure for policy or performance, and it is published. There is also a formalized process that keeps track of all complaints and these reports are available to the accreditation agency. If they disagree with the decision, they can appeal it to higher levels. Most of their complaints require further clarification, and very few go past the dean.
During the onsite interview, executive members of the administration were was asked how they would handle a situation where a student has enrolled in courses, but their expectations were not met: "I would have regular check-ins with their academic advisor. There is a 10-day check if they are falling back on their coursework. They have the ability to add or drop within 14 days within the next month and get a 100% refund within the first week, and after that it is a sliding scale. If they don't perform, they are put on academic probation and are dismissed if they still continue to perform poorly after two extensions.
About Reports on Ripoff Report

NOTICE: About the Report below:
Ripoff Report feels the few Reports that have been posted on Ripoff Report were likely posted by the same person, they were not ever a student, and, in our opinion, they are false accusations/statements. If the posting was true, there would have been legitimate proof or some sort of documentation after our mailing to the people that filed the Reports. Ripoff Report was not sent any evidence for the claims the author of the Report below made – this could be a competitor. As a matter of policy, when a business joins the Corporate Advocacy, Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, .. Ripoff Report always emails everyone that filed a complaint so the member business could make things right with them… our program calls for the member business to err on the side of the customer. It is our opinion, the Report below is bogus. Ripoff Report had a 3rd party verifier inspected the offices CalSouthern. California Southern University seems to be a legitimate school offering a terrific resource for anyone considering going back to school to earn a bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree online..
California Southern University False Advertising InternetOkay, so the school is simply not regionally accredited meaning it is not up to par, unlike University of Phoenix, Kaplan, etc. which all share the Distance Learning Accreditation. Sharing a certification like this does not make up for not being regionally accredited, period. Period. This means they are NOT VALID!
Additionally, no one except for IDIOTS WHO PAID defend this school. What does it mean when only those who wasted their dollars or those who earn their living from this "school" defend it? You be the judge, or better yet, don't.

in process of WASC accredidation
AUTHOR: prettycool - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 20, 2012POSTED: Thursday, December 20, 2012
Yes it's important for the the schools to be regionally accredited however university of phoenix for example is not WASC accredited but by another regional body and not really worth beans when you go to their school in california for example because WASC is the accredited body for this state. It takes a very long process for the DETC and they need to show proof that they are doing well in order to receive WASC Accreditation. California Southern University applied to WASC for Candidacy within the state and WASC deemed that they are worthy of Candidacy and so now now the school is within the first stages of doing a self study. They have within four years to complete their tasks for WASC to receive regional accreditation. The point is that they are in the process of working on WASC which I don't think the school will be denied if they do well.

is it possible to block spam on ipad
- Asked by Graham B from Caboolture
1 Answer from the Community
The spam filters should work by itself. I have a Yahoo! email account and all my spam goes into the Bulk Mail folder. For Gmail, there's going to be a folder for the spam too. So if you consider this blocking, then yes, it is possible.

Sorry guys, I was vague on my last post - don't quote of course as I will delete this later but I was Leisylou and now changed to Summer. Just for privacy reasons.
Sorry I haven't kept up with the thread today I'm in a three day conference and it's fairly full on so no time to post, but I am reading along.
@infinity888 I am so happy for you that it wasn't a complete waste of time and they did get that one beautiful egg for you. I applaud your courage and grace through such a difficult time. You are an absolute legend!
@Bongley I am absolutely gutted for you sweetheart. It just doesn't seem possible that two perfect embies haven't implanted. I'm glad you're seeing your FS and questioning what is next, as like our beautiful @JulieMalooley did, throwing the whole immune protocol in has been the key to the best result she's ever had. You've had one bubba, so it can be done, but maybe things have changed a little? I really hope that the FS can support you in finding some answers and doing something a bit different next time. My heart goes out to you, to get to this point was a very hard slog and heartbreaking, the disappointment must be knocking you flat. Having said all that I'm still hoping you'll get two lines tomorrow.
@Chiefsgirl I'm absolutely wrapped that you've heard bubba again and all is on track - that is SO exciting! So glad it's all running smoothly so far, I really admire the way you forged ahead after so many disappointments and have a healthy baby on board.
A big to @winsor @Tahli @Blossom74 @Charlie74 @BlondeinBrisvegas @Green lady @JulieMalooley @Petal40 @Corbes @beckymae @emski72 @midnite01 @calypso75 - (sorry if I've forgotten anyone) I haven't written personals to you guys but I'm following along.
AFM I'm attending this conference with a friend, who bought a friend with her and she is 35 weeks pregnant (not planned -grrrr!), so the three of us are together all day, every day. The good news is that I am totally OK with it! I have a little twinge of sadness, but if this was three months ago, I wouldn't have been able to handle it at all and probably would have left the conference in tears and not gone back, wasting hundreds of dollars in the process. I even got the inevitable question from her "Do you have children" and I answered pretty easily "Just 5 angel babies", and asked her if this was her first. So that is a huge step forward for me in my healing! So proud of myself!
Although I'm not doing anything right now to boost my fertility other than being as healthy as I can be, DH & I still DTD every day or every second day (can I still claim to be on my honeymoon 4 years in??? ) and I'm 11DPO today and have been POAS for a couple of days now with stark white BFNs. I know it's not likely but all of my pregnancies have been natural so I still live in hope... Anyway, not this month...

@Summer. You have done so well to be able to hold it together at the conference. Not that your friend's friend isn't lovely company I'm sure, but we all know that sting of pain oh so well.
I think my DH would be very jealous of yours, lol. He hasn't seen any action for a month and a half now. Last thing on my mind, I'm sad to say. Oh well, all good things come to those who wait

I really surprised myself today which is a great thing - it's been just over a year now since my last loss, so I feel like I've broken through a big barrier in my healing. Totally understand why you're not up to DTD, very normal after what you've been through. Mine had to wait a month after my D&Cs and you'd think his throat was slit! I'd just ask him did his hand fall off?

@Charlie74 Yes Luv, they can tell if your eggs are good quality or not.
The appearance of the eggs is what tells them firstly, that they're mature and secondly, the quality. Poor quality eggs are often discoloured/dark looking and irregularly shaped. Here's a link to some pictures of mature/immature eggs and poor/high quality eggs:
I was always told by the Embryologists on all of my Cycles whether my eggs were mature/immature and the quality of them. I've had some poor quality one's and I've had a couple of eggs that even exploded when ICSI'd.... (Cycle 2/4 from memory) which also happens when the egg quality is sh!t.
Unfortunately, it's par for the course when you get older. Eventually there'll be more bad eggs than good which is why it's so frucking hard to find the golden egg when you're late 30's-40 and onwards or have poor egg quality to begin with regardless of age.

When I had my last EPU I produced three eggs. The embryologist told me right away they were all immature and therefore of no use. They even refused to take DH's sperm, they were so convinced it was a bust.
Half an hour later we got a phone call. One of the three has matured! We need a sperm sample NOW. Race back to clinic, to be told the other two have matured as well! Out of the three, two fertilised successfully. The first only divided to 3 cells but they put it in fresh anyway. The second was my Grade A Hatching Emby.
So there you go. Sometimes they get it wrong too.

@Blossom74 No...sometimes the eggs can mature up in the lab. So in the first instance when the Embryologist looked at them they looked immature, but depending at what stage they're at, they can mature up in the lab as I've had it happen to me with a few of my eggs on one of my Cycles

5 Reasons Of Weight Fluctuations You Have To Be Aware Of
Have you ever experience losing weight then gaining it back again? Frustrating, isn't it?
Weight fluctuations are common to most people. Colloquially called, weight loss roller coaster, this happens when a person successfully loses weight and then suddenly she has gained the weight back again. It can be frustrating and stressful and may seem like a total waste of time. Oftentimes, this is the reason why most people are tempted to give up their weight loss goals.
Ideal Ways To Recharge and Relax Your Mind
In this busy and hectic world, oftentimes it is difficult to find real peace and relaxation. No matter how much you take a rest and stay at home, there are times when you will still feel stress out and exhausted.
Stress does not only affect one's physical health but also mentally. According to study, 73 percent of American experience psychological symptoms of stress regularly. Psychological symptoms of stress may be a little more difficult to treat than the physical stress. It cannot be relieved easily by just resting and not doing anything else. Relieving psychological symptoms of stress involves the relaxing and recharging the mind and the body.
Foods For Dehydration (Aside From Water)
Dehydration is something that most us fail to put extra attention to. Most of us are not aware that dehydration can cause several body malfunctions which can affect our appearance, mood and performance.
In order for our body to function well, it consumes fluids we take in. It is important to replace the fluids lost in our body to keep us going all throughout the day and to avoid being dehydrated.
Foods That Can Help You Control Your Appetite
There has been a study showing that overeating alone can cause obesity in the US. This suggests that regardless of inactivity, overeating can cause someone to gain weight more than he or she needs.
Overeating can be a little difficult to avoid. You try hard enough not to overeat and so far we have been successful doing this at home but then you head outside and you are surrounded by all sorts of foods. It can be tempting to eat and eat while outside, especially if you are with your friends who are not minding their diet.
How Can You Boost Productivity While At Work
Are you experiencing that same work routine every day? Scrambling with paper works, answering calls and doing your monthly presentation? It seems to be a normal situation but what you didn't know is that frequently being in this situation can cause you to be unproductive.
We could not deny the fact that we all live in a busy world. But the chaos and disorder that we faced everyday could take its toll and can greatly impact the way we live our everyday life. Disorder can be part of our usual habits which can later on affect productivity.
5 Sleep-Enhancing Foods To Eat Before Bedtime
Perhaps, you are already aware how important getting quality of sleep is. Sleeping contributes to our overall quality of life. Getting enough sleep can make us look good and feel good about our body. We spend about one-third of our lives sleeping and contrary to what other people believe that it is just a wasted time, there is a magnanimous number of benefits that sleeping can provide to the body. When we sleep, our body gets to work to repair damage cells, rejuvenate and refresh the bodily functions. Sleeping has a profound effect on our physical, mental and emotional well being. But how is the body triggered to go to sleep?
Our body has a natural hormone called melatonin which our pineal gland is producing. During the day, when the sun is still up the pineal gland is inactive, thus, the production of melatonin is low. When the sun goes down and darkness occurs, the pineal gland is turned on by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). This initiates signals to other parts of the brain to control body temperature, hormones and other functions that play a crucial role in keeping us awake or falling asleep. When the pineal gland starts working, it produces more melatonin that would make us feel less alert which makes sleep so inviting.
Healthy Ways You Can Boost Your Self-Confidence
People with self-confidence are admired and adored more by other people than those people with low or no self-confidence at all. People with more self-confidence in themselves tend to see the brighter side of the situation and usually this radiates in their aura that makes them more likable and respected.
However, most people have low self-confidence. A lot of them do not have the guts to show to the world what they got because for certain reasons. It is not uncommon to see people look down themselves however; this can be avoided through some healthy and natural ways.

Mac Pro Shipping Times Improve to 24 Hours
Good news for all those who plan to purchase Apple's latest cylindrical Mac Pro, which was announced about a year ago. The shipping estimates for the long-anticipated device have improved to 24 hours. What this means is that if you buy a Mac Pro online today, it will be shipped within only one day.
Top 10 Stories of the Week
It's Sunday today, so looks like it is time to talk about the most interesting stories of the past seven days. Let's begin right now.
Apple's New iOS 8 Is Jailbreakable?
Good news for all jailbreakers - looks like Apple's new iOS 8 is jailbreakable. According to what security expert Stefan Esser (aka i0n1c) has tweeted a couple of hours ago, the guys from Cupertino haven't fixed the kernel bug used to jailbreak iOS-devices. This means that immediately after the public release of iOS 8 we may have a jailbreak for it.

iOS 8: What's New?
Apple has announced its long-anticipated iOS 8. In this short post I'll try to give you an idea about what new features the guys from Cupertino have added to their operating system for iPhone and iPad. So, let's start.
Top 10 Stories of the Week
Like every Sunday, I'd like to tell you about the most interesting posts of the last seven days. Let's start.
Mac Pro Ship Times Improve to 3-5 Business Days
Good news for all those who plan to buy a new Mac Pro. For the first time since its debut in December, the ship times have fallen to 3-5 business days. What this means is that if you purchase a completely redesigned Mac Pro now, it will be shipped to you in less than one week, not a month as it was earlier. Looks like the guys from Cupertino managed to overcome the manufacturing difficulties and now are working as were supposed to.
Top 10 Stories of the Week
The week has nearly come to an end, so looks like it's time for me to tell you about the most interesting posts of the past seven days. Let's start.
Cyberelevat0r: Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 7.1.1 [Video]
Good news for all jailbreakers: i0n1c has just posted a video showing his new utility for untethered jailbreak of iOS 7.1.1. It is called Cyberelevat0r and according to its creator, to jailbreak iOS 7.1.1 it uses a recently discovered kernel bug. Nobody knows for sure if the hacker plans to release Cyberelevat0r to public or not. Anyway, let's take a look at how it works.
As noted by
The jailbreak, which has not yet been released, is unique in that it uses a kernel bug which is hidden inside functionality that can be easily reached, even from within the iOS application sandbox.
I honestly hope that i0n1c will release its untethered jailbreak of iOS 7.1.1. However, I don't think that the release will take place before the release of Apple's iOS 8. You see, the hackers need to make sure that the bug used for jailbreak remains unpatched.
Apple is expected to announce its iOS 8 at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference, which is set to take place in June. The jailbreak may be released after the conference.
iOS 7.1.1 Successfully Jailbroken - Photo, Video
Good news for all jailbreakers - iOS 7.1.1 has been jailbroken. According to the image shared by famous security researcher Stefan Esser aka i0n1c, the devices running iOS 7.1.1 can be successfully hacked.
Apple Releases iTunes 11.2.1 with Fix for Hidden 'Users' Folder
Immediately after the release of OS X Mavericks 10.9.3, which took place on Friday, many users began reporting a problem with iTunes 11.2. The bug somehow made a 'Users' folder on their computers hidden. And this is a piece of bad news.
The good news is that Apple responded quickly to the issue and released a new version of iTunes today - 11.2.1. This version contains a fix for the problem.
Patent War Between Apple and Google is Over?
Apple and Google have decided to stop the patent war. According to the latest reports, the company from Cupertino and Google's Motorola Mobility unit have recently agreed to end all the so-called patent battles. This, however, doesn't mean that the tech giants will start cross-licensing each other's patents.
Flappy Bird to Come Back in August
Good news for all Flappy Bird fans. According to what the developer of the game Dong Nguyen has recently revealed, he's working on a new version of the game. This version will reportedly feature a multiplayer. It will be released in August.
4.7-inch iPhone to Come in August, 5.5-inch - in September
According to the latest report from Economic Daily News, Apple may release its long-anticipated iPhone 6 with 4.7-inch display in August, not in September as it was reported earlier. Moreover, the 5.5-inch handset will come in September. The company from Cupertino is expected to ship as many as 80 million iPhone 6 units this year.

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden will rally with House Democrats in defense of Obamacare on Wednesday, just one day before the seventh anniversary of its passage and a planned vote to gut the law.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Mr. Biden will join Democrats for the press event on the Capitol steps in a high-profile push to protect the Affordable Care Act and its coverage gains, even as President Trump and Republican leaders try to push the first phase of their replacement plan across the finish line.
"Since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, more than 20 million previously uninsured Americans have gained access to quality, affordable health care, and more than 155 million additional Americans who receive health insurance through their employers have benefitted from the law's historic protections," Mrs. Pelosi's office said in announcing Mr. Biden's return to Washington.
Mr. Trump is meeting with Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price at the White House early Monday, as they make a three-day push to gather the 216 GOP votes they need to send their health care bill to the Senate.
Ezekiel Emanuel, a former adviser to President Obama who's been called the "architect" of Obamacare, was scheduled to join them, adding a bit of intrigue to the meeting.
The House Rules Committee announced it will meet early Wednesday to vet final changes to the bill, dubbed the American Health Care Act, and set down the terms of floor debate.
Mr. Ryan on Sunday said the administration is considering tweaks that would provide more assistance to older Americans whose costs would soar under the plan as written.
Mr. Trump already reeled in a dozen key conservatives by agreeing Friday to amendments that would make changes to Medicaid, the insurance program for the poor.
The changes would allow states to impose work requirements on able-bodied people in the program, and let governors accept a block grant of federal funding for the program instead of a per-capita allotment.
Pivotal members of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus, however, have expressed deeper concerns and say they're prepared to vote against the bill unless they see major changes that will drive down premiums.
"While I've been in Congress, I can't recall a more universally detested piece of legislation than this GOP health care bill," Rep. Justin Amash, Michigan Republican, said on Twitter.
Republicans leaders cannot forfeit more than 21 GOP votes, because every Democrat is expected to reject the bill.
At least three centrists have said they cannot support the bill in its current form.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, Pennsylvania Republican, said on Facebook over the weekend that it doesn't do enough to address the opioid epidemic.
"I am continuing my discussions with House leadership, urging them to address our concerns and to develop solutions based upon transparency and free-market principles to drive down health care costs and expand access to all," he said in his post.
Two other centrists — Rep. Iliana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Rep. Leonard Lance of New Jersey — previously had said they couldn't support the bill without significant changes.
Meanwhile, America's Catholic bishops lauded pro-life provisions in the GOP bill but said its proposed overhaul of Medicaid and use of age-based tax credits would put coverage out of reach for the most vulnerable.
"Proposed modifications to the Medicaid program, a vital component of the social safety net, will have sweeping impacts, increasing economic and community costs while moving away from affordable access for all," Rev. Frank J. Dewane, committee chairman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, wrote to House members.

Why weather the bone-chilling rocky surface of Mars when you could call the clouds of Venus' earth-like upper atmosphere home?
That's the question posed by a NASA project that envisions a future where humans might live in solar-powered airships 31 miles above Earth's nearest neighbor.
Dubbed the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept (HAVOC) the project would first send a robotic scout to gauge the lay of the land (or clouds) followed by a 30-day manned mission in a zeppelin-style helium ship.
One day, a 'city' comprised of multiple space zeppelins would hover above Venus at a sweet spot where temperatures are around 167 degrees, according to IEEE.com.

New Measure of Voting Power
During last two decades we observe a boom of power indices literature related to constitutional analysis of European Union institutions and distribution of intra-institutional and inter-institutional influence in the European Union decision making. Growing interest to power indices methodology leads also to reconsideration of the methodology itself. In this paper a new general a priori voting power measure is proposed distinguishing between absolute and relative power. This power measure covers traditional Shapley-Shubik and Penrose-Banzhaf power indices as its special cases.

nhl Arena general information
Just off of AUT-720 in the heart of Montreal, Quebec, Canada is a National Hockey League arena that houses one of the best teams in the NHL along with some of the most passionate hockey fans in the world. Bell Center is a multi-purpose facility that mainly serves as the home for the Montreal Canadians. Over the years, the Canadiens franchise has proven time and again that they are consistently amongst the top teams teams in the entire league. With a great mixture of young talent and veteran leadership, the Canadiens are able to play to packed houses every night.
Arriving at Bell Center couldn't be easier, as there are major highways that run all throughout the local area. Autoroutes 10 and 40 are your best bets when coming into town, but you can also rely on Rene Levesque Street to get you around the local area. If you plan on using public transportation, commuter trains are able to take you to Windsor Train Station as well as Central Train Station, both of which can put you right at Bell Center before game time commences. Public buses are also available, and you will want to ride on the orange bus line in order to get you to the building.
The concourses at the Bell Center are definitely not some of the widest that you will come across in your adventures, but there is ample room for people to maneuver without having to worry about bumping into people. The main bowl of the arena is very beautiful and was constructed very well by architects who were put in charge of building Bell Center. There is the possibility to seat over 21,000 Canadiens fans to watch the hockey game, which means that this is one of the biggest building, seat capacity wise, in the entire National Hockey League. With an animated scoreboard and LED screens throughout the arena, you can easily keep up with out-of-town scores while being entertained by the large jumbotron. Concession stands are aplenty at Bell Center, and you won't find much variety outside of the various hot dog stands that have their own particular spaces in the arena. Traditional ballpark delicacies are the norm at Bell Center, however there are a couple of restaurants inside Bell Center, which offer a pleasant experience for anyone looking to take a break from the concession stand lines. La Mise au Jeu Bar & Lounge is open to the public and offers great drinks and food for you to indulge in. Hand-carved meats are the dish of choice in this eatery, and you will certainly find that the beverages will meet your expectations.
Trendy restaurants outside of Bell Center also provide a great place to find a bite to eat before or after you attend a Canadiens game. Club Chasse et Pêche is one of the more laid back experiences in a city that is known for being very particular about their food. At Club Chasse et Pêche, you will get more of a casual dining feel to your service, which can be a welcome treat after the hustle and bustle surrounding Bell Centre. You might also want to try m:brgr, which is a great restaurant to get all of your favorite American classics. They offer you the opportunity to build your own burger or choose from any one of a number of different dinner plates that are offered. m:brgr is one place that provides both high-quality eating along with a great atmosphere for you to dine in.
Good music and great drinks can be found at Loft Club (Le), which is a large-scale nightspot located in downtown Montreal. This is the perfect place to find a good time after you are done cheering on the Canadiens to victory. The music selection has more of an alternative rock feel, and there will be plenty of people at the club willing to dance the night away. Club Opera features their own live DJ so the tunes don't stop at any time during the night. Rue Sainte-Cathrine Oues is the road on which you will find Club Opera, and it is easily accessible by car or through one of the many taxi services that are available in this area of town.
Aside from the Canadiens game at Bell Center, you will definitely want to embark on one of the many all-inclusive tours that Montreal provides every day of the week. With over 200 points of interest throughout the city, the guides of the Montreal City Guided Sightseeing Tour make it very easy to follow along with the entire tour. For the price, you will not be able to find more entertainment value for your dollar than a sightseeing tour of Montreal. You can also take a trip to Old Montreal, which is a section of town that is known for its ability to showcase the history and tradition of this great city. Place Jacques-Cartier is the central hub for everything going on in old Montreal, and you don't want to miss all of the available activities that are made available for visitors of this historic location.
Everyone knows how great it is to be a hockey fan, especially in the country of Canada. There are very few cities around the world that support their sports franchises the way that Montreal shows its support for the Canadiens. Bell Center is the perfect home for this team, as it provides a big enough locale where thousands of eager Montreal fans can see their famed hockey team take the ice. Don't miss the opportunity to have one of the most overwhelming experiences in your life. Take a trip to Montreal to give yourself the chance to see a Canadiens game at Bell Center.

McAdoo resident charged with theft
A McAdoo resident has been cited after allegedly jerry rigging a propane tank hook up at 21 S. Kennedy Dr.
On Sept. 15, 2012, Valley Propane employees placed a lock on the tank at that address. In March the new tenant, Jaymz Hawkins, contacted the propane company to request a cost estimate, which was given. When Hawkins didn't call back the company went to retrieve the tank on May 31.
At that time the employee discovered the lock had been removed and the tank, which was almost empty, was hooked up to the house. The value of the missing propane and the hook up fee was estimated at $100.
Hawkins was cited for theft and receiving stolen property.

For the first time in 14 years, a Toyoda family member will lead the company as its President. And Akio Toyoda has an undoubtedly big challenge on his plate, that of leading the company back to profitability and stability in a horrific market that has seen even its considerable lineup of frugal cars take a sales nosedive. What Toyoda will do with American-market behemoths like the Sequoia and Tundra, which languish in the suddenly unpopular SUV and large truck segment, remains to be seen.
Toyota is expected to report a 150 billion yen ($1.69 billion) operating for for its fiscal year, which concludes on March 31. This is its worst operating loss in 70 years, a time span eclipsing its entire history of auto sales in the United States. How the mighty have fallen.
This must be more than a little frustrating for the Japanese giant who was but a few thousand units short of eclipsing GM in worldwide sales for 2007. But despite its sales dominance, GM is in far worse shape than Toyota, making sales dominance quite the pyrrhic victory.

I got a funny little call the other night. The Mrs. had received a package from Chase Bank a few days ago, and when she opened it on up she was surprised to learn that a) someone had ordered her credit score for her, and b) it was quite the large number!
That person who had ordered it, unbeknownst to him (even though he probably just forgot and/or didn't realize what he was doing in the first place) was me. I had received a phone call from Chase where our 1st mortgage currently is, and they were interested in helping us refinance and lock in a lower rate before taking my business elsewhere. Presumably (and correctly) USAA – who now happens to be on my list to call in case this Obama stuff checks out ;) But that's not the fun part here…
The FUN part is that my dear wife called to
gloat inform me of her new shiny number – that of the awesomely high 778. And as any good husband would do, I naturally applauded her for her supreme financial know-how. (I mean come on – that's sexy, right?!)
And then I hear this: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that's higher than yours, right honey?" *Gasp!* "Is that a challenge I hear from you, my dear lady?" I quickly shot back. "No no, Mr. BudgetsAreSexy. Not a challenge, just an observation ;)" (she didn't actually SAY a smile there, but you could tell she was bursting with enjoyment after every other word left her mouth).
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The wife was actually doubting the honorable J$! You don't get away with that unless you're incredibly beautiful and/or my mother ;) And of course, even then I couldn't leave it alone – now I just HAD to know what mine was! It's true the Mrs. beat me 4 years ago when accidentally buying our 1st house, but times have changed a lot since then, and I was pretty confident my recent years of rockin' it out have done some good.
So as soon as I got back from SXSW, I rummaged through the piles of mail until I finally came across that fateful envelope. The one that would either prove my innocence, or force me to clean the entire house by myself this week — my punishment if I lost our bet ;) So I tore that bad boy open, whistled for the woman to come downstairs, and read that sentence loud and proud:
"Your credit score is…. 791" I won, I won!!!!! Wooooooo!!!! Haha…
So there you have it. J$ is back on top again :) All that debt paying, on-time billing, smarty financial decisions is still pushing my boat forward. And without a doubt my trusty wife is right up there with me – doing her thang just as well! There's really no losers in this deal.
If you haven't checked on your credit score lately, go out and learn what it is! And then drop it like it's hot here in the comments. I KNOW some of y'all gots both of us beat. I wanna see one in the 800's :) Any of you already know yours? Let 'er shine!
PS: An easy way to do this is to first run your credit *report* (the most trustworthy one is Annual Credit Report, and you can run it FREE once a year (real free, not "spammy free")), and then
pay the $6 or $10 or whatever it is to then get your score use Credit Sesame to get your free *score*! That way you get the COMPLETE snapshot of your credit history, and can make sure there's no nonsense on your actual report once you skim through it.
PPS: I literally JUST did mine right now (took me less than 5 minutes) and now I'm set for the year :) And saved me the few bucks on the *score* since Chase just did it for me – W00T! Now go get your score! Curious minds want to know…
PPPS: Discover credit card has run my score a total of FOURTEEN (14) times this year to try and get my business… (every wonder how you get pre-approved randomly?) WOW. Damn good thing those checks aren't held against you!
Bonus tip: Find a good "balance transfer" offer to help pay off debt faster!
If you've been making payment after payment (on time) and still haven't been able to get your debt under control, snatching up a good balance transfer credit card offer may be the ticket to try. That's where in order to gain your business - credit card companies will let you transfer your existing debt to a new card and let you pay ZERO PERCENT interest on it. Saving you tons every month!
What's the catch? Usually balance transfer cards charge a fee (around 3% of your debt balance) to let you transfer your balance to their 0% interest offer. But we've found a great credit card that will let you do a balance transfer absolutely free. Click here to learn more and see if you qualify!
PS: If you don't trust yourself with another credit card, ignore this! This strategy is to help you get out of debt quicker, not risk adding more to it.

BEIJING -- Her e-mail popped in sometime around breakfast Friday. The U.S. men's volleyball team wasn't expecting to hear from Elisabeth McCutcheon. She told them she appreciated their efforts, that she was rooting for them.
And somewhere in Beijing, the Americans hoped the coach's wife could close her eyes and sleep.
Hugh McCutcheon calls his wife "Wizzy." It is just about the only sign of outward emotion the coach reveals. His team upset the Russians on Friday afternoon to make Sunday's gold-medal match, and all he could muster up was a slight smirk as he waited to shake hands. He is savoring this improbable run for the Americans. He knows how important it is to the 30-somethings on this team who have never touched an Olympic medal.
But these days, McCutcheon's thoughts bounce between Capital Gymnasium and to Wizzy, their home in Minnesota and what awaits him Monday when the Olympics are over.
"One of the reasons I'm here," McCutcheon said, "is that I know so many more lives are invested in this than just my own.
"This is wonderful for our team and for our organization. It's a fantastic achievement, and I'll embrace it and enjoy it. But as soon as we're done, I have to get back to where I'm needed, which is with my family."
Two weeks ago, they were 12 men and one coach consumed with finally winning. On Aug. 9, the day after the Opening Ceremony, Elisabeth and her parents were sightseeing when a knife-wielding attacker murdered her father and seriously injured her mother and their tour guide. Thirteen days of bedside vigils and hesitant goodbyes have followed.
Elisabeth's mother, Barbara Bachman, was eventually transported back home to Minnesota, but is still in the hospital. Now, a grieving wife and a coach are separated, pulled in two directions. He calls Wizzy three times a day, more if she needs it. Sometime late Thursday in the States, she reached out to the team that has put together a surprising 7-0 run in the Olympics.
"This is kind of what we can do," U.S. libero Richard Lambourne said. "If it helps them in any sort of way at all, then that makes us feel good."
The Americans haven't medaled in men's volleyball since Barcelona in 1992. Their last gold-medal match took place in Seoul in '88. They are not the buzz of Beijing. Their setter is a 36-year-old whom McCutcheon says was a risk to bring to the '08 Games because the Americans didn't medal with him for three straight Olympics. Their championship match will be played at midnight ET Sunday morning.
But setter Lloy Ball and his teammates jumped out to a two-game lead Friday afternoon. The U.S. didn't panic when the Russians tied it and the arena got progressively louder. David Lee rallied the U.S. from a 7-5 deficit in the fifth game, and set up match point with a booming spike off a quick set.
When their final shot hit the floor, and the Americans sealed a 25-22, 25-21, 25-27, 22-25, 15-13 win, they danced and mobbed each other while McCutcheon passively watched.
"I'm a fairly reserved person," he said. "I don't wear my heart on my sleeve. I wanted to shake the coach's hand because it was a hell of a match. That was it. And [then] I wanted to go meet the guys and celebrate with them. I'm not going to run around like a headless chicken. That's just not me."
None of the players lingering in front of the media gate late Friday afternoon could remember the last time the U.S. beat Russia in an important match. There was a time in 2004 when the Americans won a friendly match in Texas just before the Athens Games, hitter Riley Salmon said.
Sometime in Beijing, he said, the Americans came together. They practiced with the belief that they could medal, he said. Then the events of Aug. 9 pulled them even tighter.
"I didn't want to quit today," Salmon said. "When I needed a little bit of energy, I just thought about my family, thought about everybody else's family that's here."
McCutcheon briefly left the team after the stabbing, but his family eventually decided he needed to be here. On Friday morning, he told the Americans -- many of whom come from the West Coast -- that the hay was in the barn and all they needed to do was go play. Everyone understood what McCutcheon meant.
"He's an incredible guy," Lambourne said. "I've learned a tremendous amount about being a human being from him over the last four years.
"I'm not sure we could do it without him back."
For two more days, the McCutcheons will wait. Hugh didn't know if Wizzy was watching from Minnesota late Thursday night. He didn't know if it would bring any comfort.
"I hope they were sleeping," he said. "Because Lord knows they've been having a hard time doing it."

Having been introduced in the state with an aim to fulfil desired health needs of government employees, the cashless health insurance policy has proved a non-beneficial to employees as empanelled hospitals have refused to accept cases under the scheme.
Besides, most of the major hospitals, including DMCH, CMCH, Satguru Partap Singh Hospital and Fortis, here do not figure on the list of empanelled hospitals.
Similar is the case in other districts.The empanelled hospitals are limited and a number of them don't fulfil desired health needs as a majority of them are eye-care or orthopaedic hospitals.
A doctor at one of the empanelled hospitals bluntly refused to entertain a government employee under the scheme.
"We don't take cases of government employees under this scheme," he said.President of the Punjab State Ministerial Services Union Nachhattar Singh said, "Government employees have been left in the lurch as medical reimbursements of governments have been stopped for long on the pretext of starting this cashless insurance scheme."
Sukhwinder Singh, President of the Punjab Health Department Subordinate Offices Clerical Association, said, "The government must ensure that all hospitals accept the scheme.
The empanelled hospitals are less known and even those are refusing to take cases. In one of the cases, a person concerned from a empanelled hospital said we must deposit the fee.
It would later be reimbursed when the government submits the cash to the hospital.""Earlier, seeking reimbursement from the government was much better, as employees could at least get treatment from the preferred hospital," he said.
Ludhiana Civil Surgeon Dr Renu Chhatwal, on being asked about the majority of hospitals missing from the list, said the hospitals did not get empanelled.
Asked if it was not their responsibility to ensure that the hospitals were empanelled, she said, "We have not received any such guidelines.
"On being asked why major hospitals were not on the empanelled list, State Minister of Health and Family Welfare Surjit Kumar Jyani said, "There are shortcomings in this scheme. Meetings are being conducted in this regard and soon suggestions will be incorporated."
Curated from Cashless insurance scheme fails to benefit govt employees

Eventually numbers of congregants grew to over 300 adults, so larger premises were leased in Bridge St Sydney. When even bigger facilities were required, a building went up in York St Sydney. This new synagogue had comfortable space for 500 seats and was elaborately furnished. Its ark, larger and even more impressive than that in Bridge St, also survives. The final move came in the 1870s when a site in Elizabeth St was purchased.
Elizabeth St entrance, Sydney.

Keith's Site - Sydney Life - the suburb of Haberfield showed St David's Uniting Church 1869 that was designed by the same architect, Thomas Rowe. In particular, note the square Norman style tower, not totally dissimilar to the square towers in front of the Great Synagogue, created just a few years later.
