May 29, 2019 - /PressAdvantage/ - An Israel-based pharmaceutical company has agreed to an $85 million settlement with the state of Oklahoma over its alleged role in spreading the opioid epidemic. Teva Pharmaceuticals was accused by Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter of creating a public nuisance through its production and marketing of opioids.
Teva said in a statement that the agreement "does not establish any wrongdoing on the part of the company". The company also said that it has "not contributed to the abuse of opioids in Oklahoma in any way".
This makes Teva Pharmaceutical the second company to settle with Oklahoma over the opioid crisis. Earlier this year, drug manufacturer Purdue Pharma agreed to a similar settlement that cost $270 million. Purdue Pharma is the maker of OxyContin, and is the center of several lawsuits involving the company and the members of the Sackler family who runs it.
Teva is one of the world's largest generic drug manufacturers. It had been due to appear in court alongside Johnson & Johnson.
"Today's announcement is a testament to the state's legal team's countless hours and resources preparing for this trial and their dedication and resolve to hold the defendants in this case accountable for the ongoing opioid overdose and addiction epidemic that continues to claim thousands of lives each year," Hunter said in a statement.
Hunter tweeted: "We have agreed to an $85 million settlement agreement with Israeli-based Teva Pharmaceuticals for its role in fueling the state's opioid epidemic."
"Nearly all Oklahomans have been negatively impacted by this deadly crisis and we look forward to Tuesday, where we will prove our case against Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries," Hunter added.
The attorney general said that the money from the Teva settlement will go towards combating the opioid crisis, which is still killing thousands of Americans each year. State attorneys expect it will take between $12.7 billion and $17.5 billion over a 20 to 30-year period to abate the opioid crisis in Oklahoma.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that overdoses involving opioids were responsible for more than 47,000 deaths in 2017 alone. 36 percent of these deaths involved prescription opioids.
Furthermore, a poll released by NPR and Ipsos found that a third of Americans have been affected directly by the opioid epidemic. According to the survey, 57 percent of Americans believed that pharmaceutical companies should be held accountable for worsening the opioid crisis.
"It's something, no matter your age, your gender, no matter where you live, your party affiliation, that people believe in large numbers," said Mallory Newall, the lead Ipsos researcher on the survey. Click the link to see Aurora's top rehab placement programs.
The Oklahoma case is being monitored closely by plaintiffs in other opioid cases. This includes South Dakota and 1,850 other municipal and state governments that have filed charges against the same drug makers.
Meanwhile, Johnson & Johnson will continue to face trial for its alleged role in the opioid crisis. Whether or not the company will choose to go for a settlement remains to be seen.
Addiction experts believe that the opioid crisis will require billions of dollars in funds over the course of several years before it can be fully resolved.
If someone in the family is struggling with opioid or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against drug abuse. But because every individual is affected by addiction differently, a comprehensive program tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.

By: Bill Uhl
Court-Qualified Expert Witness and Safety Trainer regarding ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles and motorcycles dirt bikes
Tel: 360-335-8488
Email Bill Uhl
If you are not personally an expert operator of all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles or motorcycle dirt bikes and you take on a case involving an ATV, UTV, motorcycle or snowmobile, you'll most likely search for an Expert Witness who specializes in off-highway vehicle (OHV) cases. Consider the following:
Even though manufacturers haven't been fully forthcoming about many known issues and dangers concerning OHVs, they have issued and posted warnings that safety training is necessary for operators, passengers and bystanders of many types of off-road vehicles. The expert witness you hire needs to understand the many diverse perspectives of OHV equipment manufacturers, retail sales personnel and OHV operators, whether they use their OHV on the job or for recreation.
Your expert witness also needs to comprehend what tour companies, tour guides, racing facilities, trail builders and maintainers, OHV rental facilities and equipment maintenance personnel should be doing to ensure safety. Your expert witness should understand what manufacturers do and often fail to do to ensure operator safety. All of these many components of OHV cases have been important in my professional work.
I have over 50 years of experience with all types of OHVs, including winning five gold medals as a competitive rider around the world, building trails, providing R&D functions for several manufacturers, co-owning an OHV retail store, serving as a Lead Mechanic and being inducted into the International AMA Hall of Fame. For many decades, I've provided safety training for all types of OHV riders, ranging from U.S. Special Forces personnel and other government agencies to OHV operators in corporations across the U.S. and Canada. (Contact us for a complete list of clients.)
Serving as a Court-Qualified OHV Expert Witness for many decades, consulting with attorneys, conducting site visits, assessing the merits of cases and providing depositions and court testimony have enhanced my expertise addressing a wide breadth of causes of OHV accidents and how to prevent them. I also help attorneys understand Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) guidelines for ATVs, UTVs and snowmobiles. Although I'm frequently asked to provide many additional types of information, this article is designed to address the specific issue of how the need for safety training may relate to your ATV or UTV cases.
ATV and UTV manufacturers say ATVs and UTVs are not toys and can be hazardous to operate. Manufacturers issue warnings like: These vehicles handle differently than other vehicles, such as motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers like turning or driving on hills or over obstacles if an operator fails to take proper precautions.
Manufacturers provide multiple cautions in owner's / operator's manuals. They state that operators cannot rely on what the individual thinks they know about ATVs and UTVs from their past experience driving cars, trucks or even off-road motorcycles. Manufacturer warnings include:
Manufacturers tell operators in owner's and operator's manuals that safety training is essential to prevent accidents, injuries and even death. These documents make it clear that specific knowledge, training and skill development are vital to the safety of the actual operator, passengers, bystanders and to other machine operators in the area.
Manufacturers include basic information regarding how to prevent accidents and injuries and what to do if someone in the area has a vehicle that veers out of control. Owner's and operator's manuals state that OHV operators must understand how to operate their vehicles properly in a variety of situations appropriate to the types of use they'll engage in. This includes diverse weather conditions, a wide variety of terrains and an understanding of how to navigate if other operators will be operating in the area, especially if these individuals will be in close proximity.
These are just a few examples of why an expert witness who is also a safety trainer can be beneficial to your cases. Click here to learn how I have assisted in over 77 other legal cases. Contact us for your 15-minute complimentary case consultation regarding your ATV, UTV, snowmobile, motorcycle dirt bike, dual sport, motocross, mountain bicycle or street bike case. We welcome your request for a CV and letters of recommendation from other attorneys.
Bill Uhl is a Safety Trainer and Court-Qualified Expert Witness for cases involving all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), utility vehicles (UTVs / side by sides / ROVs / SxS / RZRs), snowmobiles, motorcycle dirt bikes, dual sport bikes and off-road bicycles trails.

Talking to people from all over the world may seem like an odd concept when we live and surround our days with humans right in front of us. Why would we want to go out of our way to talk to people far away? However, talking to people who weren't brought up in a similar background can be very influential. People's opinions are almost always based on things that they have grown up with or experienced. For example, I have never experienced being in a war zone, so my view on war is a lot different from those who live, or have lived, in one. My opinion and their opinion are a lot different because of the experience we have had.
Now I am pretty new to blogging, so I have not had much time to blog, however I do have experience with talking with those all around the world. At my school we had a group of exchange students last week. I had the chance to talk with one of the girls about her opinions on the Chinese government. She was telling me about how they are not allowed to visit sites from other countries, only those from China. To me growing up in the USA, this was very surprising. We really don't have any restrictions to what we can look at and what we can't. However when I asked her what she thought about having the restrictions, she seemed fine with the idea and she thought it was weird that we had no restrictions. We had grown up in different scenarios, and that made for a really great conversation. However, not everyone has the opportunity to have exchange students come to school, and that is why blogging is so great. It's accessible and easy.
Above is a map of all the places that people have visited our public Age of Ex Blog. Looking at the map, it is incredible to think that someone from Egypt is reading our opinions, and maybe even commenting on them and sharing their views on the world. Whether you are talking about politics, or your view on pets, blog it and share with the world. You will never know who will read it!

Garden Reviews
Rainier Acres
James and the Giant Buds…
Rainer Acres is a Tier II located in Airway heights, just west of Spokane. They started growing in August of 2015, and recently acquired the new facility on January 1st. Their new grow was formerly a project that James Hart, owner of Rainer Acres, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars renovating. Their 2,600 square feet flower room is just about to have its first harvest.
"…growing a premium product at a price point people can afford." – James Hart, owner
Their plants are grown in soil using organic nutrients mixed on-site. Their grow is pesticide-free, and verified by Trace Analytics. Water is run through reverse osmosis and applied, by hand, to each plant. Curing and drying are both done on an individual basis: drying between 4-7 days, and curing between 10-14 days, on average. James currently has 7 consistently-grown strains, but just brought in 100 new genetics to begin experimenting with. The fan favorite is Primus, but all the strains in their rotation are hits.
As James and I walked through the facility, he explained the company's methods and history, as well as their overall mission: to make sure nothing toxic is left in the plant. "We put our heart and soul in this place," James said. His master grower, Michael Bush, vigorously nodded in agreement. James says their goal is "growing a premium product at a price point people can afford." The flowers are lush, the microbial test results are 0s, their inventory sells out every month and their numbers show sustainable growth.
They currently offer flower, joints and extracts made by Bodhi High. In the near future they will be bringing their extracts in-house, and plan to release a game-changing oil cartridge. Get some!

Special Report: Demand helps sulphur market growth
With demand for sulphur rising, the UAE, KSA and Kuwait are launching new or expanding on existing sour gas projects. The region could account for up to 35% of sulphur production within the next decade
Gone are the times when sulphur used to be viewed as a by-product of the oil and gas industry. Sulphur is now coming to the fore as its versatility and potential is realised by businesses around the world. Sulphur is also the primary source in producing sulphuric acid, the world's most used chemical – which is used in a multitude of applications from fertiliser production through to steel, wind turbines and electronics.
The sulphur industry has seen a change of fortunes in recent years, reversing the perception that sulphur simply accounted in the cost of production in oil and gas processing. However, as the market becomes more competitive across the globe, the Middle East can lead by example in providing a long-term, sustainable business framework.
"Sulphur demand in traditional sectors has grown significantly over recent years. In future these applications will grow further but new sulphur demand, such as use as a fertiliser nutrient in its own right, will also add to global consumption," Dr Peter Harrisson, senior consultant and Sulphur team leader at CRU, said.
Harrisson spoke on the sidelines of the Middle East Sulphur Conference organised by CRU Events in Abu Dhabi from February 12th-16th. "Supply growth in the Middle East will make the region one of the most influential origins for the global sulphur market. As the sulphur market moved into surplus in 2016, the existence of efficient and flexible logistics infrastructure to move sulphur to market is more important than ever," he said. "The UAE has succeeded in developing this infrastructure to mean that sulphur will offer a real opportunity to add value whether the global market is in surplus or deficit over the coming years."
The widening use and recognition of sulphur is of significant importance to the UAE, which at an output of around 18,000 tonnes a day, is one of the biggest sulphur producers in the world. This figure may increase in the coming years as the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's (ADNOC) current production sites in Shah and Habshan could be joined by a number of gas fields that are yet to be utilised for sulphur extraction. With the country's impending targets for economic diversification, sulphur's alternative uses puts it high up on the agenda of paths that businesses in the UAE could take.
An example of that is the recent announcement from Austrian energy major OMV Group which says it plans to step up investments in the UAE by building on its strong, existing partnerships with Abu Dhabi's state-owned energy companies, the CEO of OMV said. "We are ready to increase our investments and further intensify our partnership with IPIC and ADNOC. OMV has a clear vision about its business in Abu Dhabi. We would like to build step-wise, an integrated business as an investor and as a strong partner of ADNOC," Rainer Seele, OMV's CEO, was quoted as saying in a media report.
"And this is just in the UAE. There are projects going on in Saudi and Kuwait," Angie Slavens, managing director of UniverSUL Consulting, said. "Most of the gas in the region is sour. So we are saying that Middle East accounts for 20% of the world's sulphur production, based on the current projects. Looking into the next decade, the Middle East could account for 30-35% of sulphur production."
On the question of how big the sour gas processing and sulphur producing market in the region can be estimated to be worth, Peter D Clark, senior research advisor at Canada-based Alberta Sulphur Research Ltd told Oil & Gas Middle East, "The question of the magnitude of the sour gas and sulphur processing market in the Middle East in terms of financial value is difficult to answer. If we try to answer the question as to how valuable is sulphur, it is indispensable in terms of industrial operations, because not only is it used in food production but also numerous other usages. In some ways we are quite lucky that sulphur is co-produced as a by-product with sour gas and this is sold cheaply."
He continued, "But its utilisation worldwide…..really if we did not have it most industrial operations could not have functioned as they function today. So the net economic benefit of producing sulphur is huge. It is in fact invaluable."

What we can learn from Unix
Saturday, May 28th 02016
The Unix Philosophy is a wonderfully cohesive way to thing about program execution and composition. Its beauty relies in its simplicity, somewhat unfortunately this is also tied to the fact that Unix is dealing with software on the operating system level. We're going to explore what the Unix Philosophy is and what it allows us to do when working in a Unix shell. All the while exploring how Unix can guide our attempts to create simpler programs at a higher level of the stack.
Designing for a use case
Friday, January 29th 02016
When you develop an application or some software artifact you consider what task the program is to complete. You make a model of who your customers are, and how they interact with your service, and then you proceed to implement that.

Around 8% of babies are born prematurely in the UK1. Premature babies have very different nutritional requirements to full term infants as they need to attain the growth that would have occurred in utero, as well as achieve functional development2. Inspired by breastmilk, we are committed to delivering products and services to help preterm babies thrive through appropriate nutritional support.
The first 1,000 days from conception to toddlerhood is a crucial window of opportunity and meeting the nutritional needs of infants during this period will positively influence short and long-term health outcomes3,4.
In the UK, around 60,000 infants are born every year before 37 weeks' gestation5, of which 10% have a birth weight of less than 1,000g6,7. This means they have very specific dietary requirements.
Preterm nutritional needs and challenges
Preterm infants will face a multitude of challenges including: respiratory complications, poor thermoregulation, problems with gastrointestinal (GI) tract, low body stores of many nutrients and other medical complications8.
The final trimester of pregnancy is particularly important for fetal development9,10. This is a time of extensive development of organs9,10, immune system9,10 and the establishment of nutrient stores11 so preterm infants must complete much of this development ex utero12.
Feeding preterm infants
2010 ESPGHAN guidelines established recommended intakes for all major nutrients2. The focus was on enteral intakes in stable, growing preterm infants from a weight of 1-1.8kg2.
Key ESPGHAN recommendations
Advantages of breastmilk
Breastmilk is the best source of nutrition for preterm infants and offers many significant benefits to both infant and mother. It provides13:
- Protection from infections
- An improved feeding tolerance
- A reduced risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC)
- Digestive enzymes
- Benefits for baby's gastrointestinal (GI) tract
- Psychological benefits for mum
However, many preterm infants may have higher nutritional requirements than breastmilk alone can provide2,13. The table below highlights the protein requirements of a preterm infant by body weight as stated in the ESPGHAN recommendations2. It highlights the potential gap between the amount of protein needed and the amount of protein breastmilk can provide.
Protein recommendations by body weight
Also, the daily intake volume that the preterm infant can tolerate is often not enough to cover their increased nutritional needs15-17 as the graph below shows:
The differences between the nutrition requirements of a preterm infant and the nutrition provided in breastmilk highlight the requirement for additional supplementation in the form of either a human milk fortifier and/or a protein supplement.
Breastmilk ingredients
Some of the key components of breastmilk, all of which prove beneficial to a preterm infant's development, include:
- Prebiotic oligosaccharides (OS)
- Beta-palmitate
- Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs)
The role of prebiotic oligosaccharides
Prebiotic OS are non-digestible oligosaccharides that occur naturally in breastmilk18. Upon ingestion, they serve a number of functions19-23:
They first pass through the stomach and small intestine. The prebiotic OS mixture is then metabolised to produce Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) in the large intestine. SCFA promote a thicker mucous layer lining the intestine and also lower pH levels in the intestine.
The presence of prebiotic OS prevents harmful bacteria from attaching to the intestinal lining and entering the bloodstream. They also encourage the growth of friendly bacteria and feed the beneficial bifidobacteria in the gut.
The role of beta-palmitate
Dietary lipids, or fats, provide preterm infants with a large proportion of their energy, with essential fatty acids and lipid soluble vitamins13.
The structure of fats in breastmilk consists of a glycerol group with three fatty acids attached, called a triglyceride. When palmitic acid is in the beta (β) position, lipids are metabolized more efficiently by infants24. This provides several beneficial effects, including: better fat absorption, improved calcium absorption, easier digestion and softer stools24-28.
The role of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids
LCPs are important for the healthy development of an infant's brain29,30, eyes31, and nervous system32.
For preterm infants, LCPs such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) are conditionally essential as the third trimester is a critical period for brain growth33-37.
The ability to make DHA and AA in the body is very limited in the first few months of life33-35. Preterm infants fed formulas without LCPs develop poor DHA & AA status38-42. Formula enrichment with the LCPs, DHA & AA is recommended for preterm and post discharge feeding2,13,15,16,43,44.
It is recognised that the preterm infant is particularly vulnerable and has different nutritional needs to the full term infant. Breastmilk is the best source of nutrition and provides significant advantages, including key ingredients such as prebiotics, milk fats and LCPs. However, in instances where breastmilk is not available or the production of breastmilk is not sufficient to meet the preterm infant's specific requirements, supplementation is recommended.

Homemade Pesto
By LT Sauces, Marinades & Rubs Pasta No Cook
August 6, 2016
No store-bought jar of pesto can compare to this easy to make fresh homemade version of basil pesto. Classic recipes call for pine nuts and if you have them by all means go ahead and use them. I find walnuts to be more economical and I like the flavor a little bit more. When tossing with pasta, mix with some of the starchy pasta water to thin pesto.
- Prep: 10 hrs
1Grate parmesan cheese with food processor's shredding blade, set aside
Using chopping/mixing blade of food processor
1Smash whole garlic gloves with side of chef's knife (carefully of course) or bottom of a wine bottle, remove peels and add to food processor, pulse until coarsely chopped
2Add walnuts and pulse 5-6 seconds
3Add basil, salt and pepper, turn processor on low and slowly drizzle in EVOO until finely pureed
4Add parmesan cheese and mix another minute
5Sever immediately or store in air tight container like a mason jelly jars
Store in mason jelly jars refrigerated 7-10 days. Pesto also freezes well. Tip: add thin layer of EVOO on top of pesto when storing.

The Klytode androids were also used by the Klytode (albeit with a different appearance) to destroy the Earth by exploding them at weather control stations around the world. Their destruction would have led to the release of toxin bombs destroying the planet. When the Tenth Doctor pointed this out, the androids rebelled, not wanting to die. They turned on the Klytode and helped secure his capture and restraint on Earth. (COMIC: Return of the Klytode)

Atom vs lone pair
Why does a lone pair of electrons push away bonds more than a typical atom. For example, "120 degrees" vs "less than 120 degrees"

Re: Atom vs lone pair
Lone pairs have higher electron - electron repulsion and thus they take up more space than atoms, pushing the surrounding atoms closer together and lowing their bonding angle.
Re: Atom vs lone pair
Yes, since lone pairs are concentrated closer to the central atom than bonding pairs.
Re: Atom vs lone pair
lone pairs each have a negative charge, and they also have to respond to the charges of the atoms, making them push in the directions that they do push in. Think of it as a bunch of magnets of identical charges.

The ancient Greek word for "bear" was άρκτος.
The Arctic is named after the animal; it's the place where bears are.
Naturally, when you find a place at the opposite side of the globe from the Arctic and where there are no bears, it's the anti-Arctic - in other words, Antarctica.
So the Arctic is Bears Place, and Antarctica is Not Bears Place.
@noelle I was going to say "the arctic bear is the bear-bear" but they named it the polar bear
@noelle @InspectorCaracal
I'm pretty sure the Eurasian brown bear is Ursus arctos arctos. So it's a bear bear bear, which is as much bear as any bear can be.
Mathematically, you could call it a bear^3.

Know any creative individuals over 18 who would be interested in participating in a video contest to promote alcohol and drug abuse prevention and positive mental health? Now is their chance to shine: not one but two contests are seeking video public service announcements (PSAs) tackling these topics.
The first contest, sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), is timed to coincide with the start of National Prevention Week 2012. Entrants to the Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Video Contest are asked to create videos that are either exactly 15 seconds or 30 seconds long and focus on the theme, "We are the ones. How are you taking action?"
Videos should showcase the work young people are doing in their communities to "prevent alcohol and drug abuse and promote emotional well-being," according to SAMHSA.
The grand prize winner will get national exposure through online channels, his or her video will be included in the Drug Enforcement Administration's "Target America" traveling exhibit, and he or she will get an all-expenses-paid trip (for up to four people) to the June 2011 meeting of the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors in Indianapolis, Ind., where the PSA will be shown.
Submissions to the Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness contest are due April 15, 2011; entrants must be between 18 and 25 years old.
For the second video contest, How Do You Score?, the nonprofit Screening for Mental Health (SMH) is calling for 30-second entries that address binge drinking on college campuses and promote anonymous screenings for alcohol abuse at www.HowDoYouScore.org. Winners could get up to $500 for their entries and their videos will be shown nationwide "as part of this year's National Alcohol Screening Day campaign," according to SMH.
"The PSA contest gives students an opportunity to connect with their peers around commonly experienced feelings of stress, depression and self-destructive thinking, giving all involved a sense of social responsibility and a lasting culture towards good mental health practices," said Douglas G. Jacobs, M.D., founder and president of SMH.
Submissions to the How Do You Score? contest are due March 24, 2011. Entrants must be 18 or older.

After 15 days hanging around in Nairobi and Mombasa I have finally received a tourist visa for Eritrea!
Tomorrow morning I'll be off to Isiolo. And then hell will brake lose! From there on at least 500 Km corrugations, rocks and sand…. the leg from Isiolo to Moyale is regarded as one (or the ) worst roads on the east route through Africa.
I'm planning to make a video and lots of pictures. Next info will be from Addis Ababa.

Koln vs Erzgebirge Aue
Germany – 2. Bundesliga
Date: Saturday, 25 August 2018
Kick-Off at 12:00 UK
Venue: RheinEnergieStadion (Koln).
Koln are going to host Erzgebirge Aue in the third round of the German 2. Bundesliga on Saturday noon.
After being relegated from the top flight last season, the hosts are looking forward for an express comeback. They've started the campaign with a win and a draw and they want to continue their good streak. Jonas Hector and the lads have been playing pretty well in the back as they've allowed just one goal so far. Koln had a terrible first half of the season last time and although they improved their game, that bad run costed them the place in the Bundesliga.
On the other hand, Erzgebirge Aue managed to survive the last campaign only after beating Karlsruher in the relegation playout. Their poor finish pushed them down into the danger zone and they were also lucky enough to avoid the direct relegation as they stayed one point ahead of Braunschweig. Daniel Meyer's side has been poor in the front, while their defence allowed too many goals. They cannot be proud of their start in the current campaign as well as they've managed to snatch just a point so far. The visitors still haven't managed to find the back of the oppositions' net.
Koln v Erzgebirge Aue: Head-to-head
Koln have been much more successful in their head to head clashes and they managed to beat their rivals two times in the last three occasions. Their clashes have been very efficient and five of the last six matches went over 2.5 margin.
Koln v Erzgebirge Aue: Prediction
Koln are strong favourites in this one and they shouldn't miss the chance to secure all three points in this one. The visitors should be looking for their first win elsewhere and the home side should remain in the very top of the table.
The hosts have been excellent in their DFB Pokal clash last weekend when they celebrated a 9-1 away win over BFC Dynamo. As their head to head clashes are very efficient, in this one we should expect another high scoring game and at least three goals in total.
Koln v Erzgebirge Aue: Bet Tips
Home win @ 1.50
Over 2.5 FT @ 1.80

The amendment in Australia's Immigration Law has turned out to be favorable for applicants who are single or have skilled spouses.
With an update in the points system used to determine an applicant's potential economic contribution, Australia has offered equal opportunities to the single immigrants. This clearly implies that the amendment has given preference to applicants who have a skilled partner or skilled candidates who do not have a partner.
The amendment in Australia's Immigration Law will come into effect from November 2019. The changes made in the law are inspired by the report of Productivity Commission recommendation 2016. The Commission had stated that around 50 percent of immigration applicants have limited skills, thus not having any significant contribution to the economy. The Commission had stated that it is important to assess the contribution of immigrants to the Australian economy. Thus, it became imperative for the immigration authorities to prioritize skilled personals.
In a statement issued by the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs it has been explained what affects Migration Amendment Regulations 2019, would have on candidates applying to come to Australia via the General Skilled Migration visas.
The main purpose of the Skilled Migration Program is to attain maximum economic benefits for Australia. Therefore, points awarded to candidates are according linked with the applicant's ability to make the greatest economic contribution.
The major amendment done to the point system is an increase in the points awarded to an applicant with a skilled spouse or de facto partner. Applicants whose spouse is competent in English will be awarded 5 points; while, candidates who do not have a spouse or a de facto partner will be awarded 10 points.
Australia is a highly developed country with a high standard of living and balanced lifestyle backed by a strong economy and scenic landscape, making it a leading choice among aspirants looking to settle abroad for a better life.
The General Skilled Migration Program of Australia consists of a number of independent and sponsored visas designed to allow skilled workers and their families to immigrate to Australia. A minimum score of 60 points is required for entry into Australia via the Skilled Migration visas. The score is calculated based on factors like age, experience, and qualifications.

Our first job for Stena Line involved flying our drones from the decks of each of their ferries as they made their crossing of the Irish Sea. We captured imagery and video from the ports of Holyhead and Dublin as well as out at sea. Flying from a moving ship brings plenty of challenges, especially with any sort of cross wind and all of the electronic interference from the boat. It was fun sitting in the Captains seat for a bit too!
Our second project was to document some major refurbishments that had taken place at Holyhead Port which could only be captured from the air. This was all done from the safety of dry land!

It is right here. The 106th edition of Cage Warriors is coming down to London and this time, they are moving to a new venue: the prestigious Eventim Apollo. The card is stacked and it does look like one of the biggest Mixed Martial Arts event we have ever had in Europe, UFC included. As far as I am concerned, I feel like a handful of the athletes competing this Saturday are already UFC materials, and we are looking at the best talents from Europe as from the start of the prelims.
Now, let's look deeper into the last 3 fights of the evening. BUT FIRST (lemme take a selfie), I'll quickly introduce myself as this is only my second article ever in English. If you don't care, just skip till you read « Dean Trueman vs Mads Burnell ».
Hey. I'm Chris. I used to be an active MMA blogger in French, I also wrote a book in French and my next challenge is to write one in English. Practice makes perfect, therefore I decided to write more and more using the Universal language. Hence, this article. In the art of fighting world, I also am the head coach of Red Kings, that you may know via Cage Warriors athletes Brian Bouland and Donovan Desmae.
DEAN TRUEMAN vs MADS BURNELL
Where everybody expected Soren Bak to face Dean Trueman (10-4), a turn of event gave Mads Burnell (11-3) a well-deserved opportunity to fight Featherweight's champion at CW106. This is a very good fight for the fans because of their diversity and their love for chaos. Both of them are extremely comfortable in all aspects of the game, have a high-volume approach to striking and a scramble-based style in grappling and wrestling exchanges. On top of that, they're both opportunists able to end a fight in the blink of an eye. What I like the most in every fight is the gameplan that athletes and their team come up with. Dean Trueman has a lot of success at kicking range, and Mads Burnell is finding a new love for the boxing range and will probably have to close the distance and force exchanges to be where he needs to be. Mads' head movements are getting better; he moves proactively and has also good defensive reactions, which comes in handy when an athlete wants to pressure a high-volume striker with excellent lateral movement, such as Trueman. Bottom line, I believe this will be where the fight will be decided: Will Mads be able to pressure Trueman, cut angles and forces boxing exchanges, or will Trueman be able to keep a distance between the cage and his backfoot so he can keep a kicking (or even karate) range and attack from there ? I don't see either shoot for a takedown, but I hope a KD or a clinch leads to some grappling display because this would be beautiful, with a lot of transitions.
JAI HERBERT vs JACK GRANT
This might be the fight most people are looking forward to and it makes sense; two exciting strikers with excellent grappling skills facing each other for a belt. Who wouldn't like this teaser? But let's talk about what make them such great fighters and how it plays out when put together. Once again, here, I'll mostly talk about the striking aspect of the fight as I can't even recall when either of them shoot for a takedown. Their comfort zone is to stand. Jai Herbert (8-1) is what I like to call a fundamentalist; he has solid bases in boxing and Muay Thai, he only uses the classic attacks but his technique is so perfect it makes it dangerous. He has a boxing posture, boxing movements, but he integrated a slick kicking game into his arsenal. He likes to stay at a range where he can hit you at all times, while constantly moving his head out of the center line. Simple, but efficient. His opponent, Jack Grant (15-4) is quite the opposite in a way; even though his fundamentals are very good, he has a more extravagant style and you see him go for unusual techniques. That said, the main difference is really in how they position themselves; Jai wants to keep his opponent at an hittable range at all times and will move with his opponent, whereas Jack finds success in managing the rhythm of the fight. He decides when there's an exchange, he decides when he can rest. But he is a master at putting pressure and volume and you believe you can rest. This is what I love about the fight. One fighter will try to keep the same distance at all times and probably builds his game off his jab, while the other will have to change the distance on a frequent basis. This is the perfect example of a dynamic fight. I can't wait.
ROSS HOUSTON vs NICOLAS DALBY
The main event will feature the undefeated champ Ross Houston (8-0) against UFC vet Nicolas Dalby (17-3) and it is quite a fight we have ahead of us! I said in one of my Tweet that Trueman vs Burnell is a lovely fight for the fans as it is two scamble-based fighters facing each other. Well this one has the perfect example of a control-based fighter in the champion, facing a scramble-based fighter in the interim champ. Ross Houston has the same approach whether he's striking or grappling with two keywords: patience and pressure. He mitigates risks, he takes his time, he is efficient (and powerful!) in his attacks. He uses very small movements and has an economic footwork; it looks like he always has the right angle to engage or to stand his ground and counter. On the ground, he looks to secure his position, avoids floating, and looks to advance with pressure, leaving no space for his opponent to work on a sweep or a submission. Dalby is lighter on his feet, utilizes a lot of movements; in and out, resets at a different angle and will vary his attacks; different angles, different levels, using feints to play with his opponent's mind, keeping him thinking. His experience makes him a very intelligent fighter who will take the fight where he feels he can dominate his opponent the most. If the co-main event will be a fight for the control of the rhythm/pace, this one will be a fight for the control of the direction. Movements vs Ground standing. Efficient simplicity vs Diversity. Control vs Scramble. To make this main event even better, just remember the heart shown by both these guys; Ross Houston against Paterno, and Nicolas Dalby against Darren Till.
Guys, we got ourselves an event. Quite an event. See you on Saturday !

Know your circumstances – and yourself
In effect, to start a business is much more than just starting it – it is about making sure it keeps running, profitably. And before profits comes the hard part of it – working hard to make your business survive. Yes, it is a game of survival first, success later.

For you to be ready to start a business, it takes immense planning,video production austin , intense foresight and the ability to make quality judgement in decisive situations.

Roe v. Wade was about the human rights of women: privacy, self-determination, and equality. Abortion was the driver for the court case, but it wasn't the core. At its center, Roe v. Wade said that women were entitled to the same rights as men. Small wonder, then, that "conservatives" hate it so. Teapublicans hate equality, and Roe cost them a lot of control over women.
See that chart up there? It's what happens when most women don't vote. White "Republican" men and their quisling spouses voted in 2010 and 2014 while non-Teavangelical women largely sat it out, and now all American females are at imminent risk of being returned to second-class status.
It's neither a surprise nor a secret: the GOPee has had the subjugation of the majority of our citizens (reminder: that's women) as its goal since long before the Supreme Court announced its historic decision on this day in 1973. All Roe did was make "republicans" less complacent and more energetic in their efforts to keep women under the thumbs of men.
Meanwhile, the majority of women have themselves become complacent. A significant minority have joined the oppressors, and the few who dare raise their voices at the shameful treatment women are receiving these days are mocked at best, and violently assaulted or killed at worst.
American women will have no one to blame but themselves if current trends continue: they are the majority of eligible voters and could stop all this s*** in a few short election cycles. Let's hope that happens.
Mr. Blunt and Cranky

Review Information
General Commentary and Game Overview
Now this is certainly an interesting idea: a fangame of a fangame. The "Bullet Bill" fangames were very popular flash games that you played exclusively with a mouse (or a Wiimote if you were willing to cope with the choppy framerates of the Wii's internet browser) starring the Bullet Bill character ramming through a bunch of stuff, trying to wreck up as much of a high score as possible. I think the idea, then, is a marvelous one to revive and even try to put a new spin on!
Question is: does this unofficial-unofficial-sequel deliver? Or does it make you want to drown in Soda Lake?

From inventory and equipment to rent and employees' wages, there is a never-ending list of expenses that comes along with owning and running a business. However, it is possible to cut costs. Take your credit card processing services, for example. The cost of credit card processing varies, depending on several factors, including the amount your business processes a month and your merchant services provider. Consequently, decreasing spending on this part of your business can result in extra capital to reinvest in others.
Here are several suggestions about how to lower the cost of credit card processing:
Compare Providers
Merchant services providers often sneak in hidden fees at high rates on their clients' credit card processing statements. One way to learn if you're being overcharged is by comparing the cost of your current provider to that you'd spend if you switched to another. This can help you make an educated decision. But first, you'll need to calculate just how much you're paying in credit card processing fees, and then, conduct some research on other well-known, reputable merchant services providers. If you discover you are, in fact, paying more than necessary, either change providers or negotiate with your current one.
Consider Other Pricing Systems
If you haven't already, look into the different pricing options offered by your provider. Here are the top three:
Charge breakdowns vary for each pricing model. As a result, there may be one more cost-effective than the others. If you're not completely clear on what would be the most beneficial for you, contact your provider or another reliable merchant services expert, and learn about what each pricing system entails. Typically, the answer lies within your credit card processing statement, though those are notoriously difficult to comprehend.
Reduce Chargebacks – Reduce fraud (See Below)
Chargebacks are consumer refunds following a disputed charge on their credit card bill—typically because their card information was stolen. While it's near-impossible to stop every chargeback case from occurring, as some people knowingly dispute purchases they themselves made, merchants can decrease the amount of claims they have to deal with by turning their attention to fraud prevention. Doing so reduces the likelihood of hackers stealing consumer information from their place of business, and thus, associated reimbursements to customers and chargebacks to their merchant services provider.
Become PCI Compliant
One way to avert fraud is to become PCI complaint. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) were developed more than a decade ago for this very reason—protecting consumer information and helping avoid data breaches and chargebacks. For a business to become PCI compliant, it must meet certain requirements. This includes having a vulnerability management team to implement anti-virus software and maintaining an information security policy employees must adhere to.
Adopt EMV Technology
Similarly to PCI compliance, EMV (Europay, MasterCard, Visa) compliance helps fight against data breaches and improves consumer card information security. While adopting EMV isn't a requirement, it would certainly be advantageous for merchants to do so. Plus, since many consumers today have credit cards with EMV chips, they may be hesitant to shop somewhere that doesn't yet utilize this technology.

It appears that the hans are trying to upgrade themselves to a two ocean country by setting up in gwadar to project power into the arabian sea. This seems to go hand in hand with their grabbing of SLs hambanthota port as well as setting up ports in the maldives waters. They have also secured port visitation rights from the beedis as well
At this very heart, India sits like a ginormous and permanently moored aircraft carrier, with almost limitless potential to cause damage as well as interdict and restrict the SLOCs at will.
All this is pure mahan and both the amerikis as well as the hans are acutely aware of this predicament.
Additionally, no one expected India to weaponize her long range nuclear strike capabilities so quickly or develop a robust MIRVed second strike capacity with a multidimensional MAD strategy.
And like you said, it's a Russian gift.

Deepdale - New York - USA

William Kissam Vanderbilt II commissioned Charles Blair Macdonald and Seth Raynor to lay out the original Deepdale golf course at his Lake Success summer estate on Long Island in 1924.
All was well for thirty years until the routing of the new Long Island Expressway through part of the course forced the club to relocate. It was at this point that Dick Wilson was called in to carve out 18 holes on a nearby hilly, forested site.The tree-lined fairways at Deepdale Golf Club – many of them tight and sharply doglegged – lead to famously fast, heavily contoured greens. Prominent holes include the 415-yard 8th, the 450-yard 11th and 425-yard 15th, all of which play to raised greens that are heavily protected by sand.
Reviews for Deepdale
When Deepdale was formed it had a small, exclusive membership and was built in Nassau County, relatively close to New York City. Its proximity to the city made it an ideal "alternative" course that allowed its elite members to play during the week without making the longer trek out to Suffolk County to play at Shinnecock Hills or The National Golf Links of America.
Located on the Hempstead Plains, the terrain of the course is ideal for golf, with sandy soil and rolling hills. The golf course of today is in great condition; while tee to green the course is fair and imminently playable, I found the tilted greens to be especially tricky and challenging. This is the only course I have ever played where I was on a par three in regulation and walked off with a double-bogey (and a head of steam).
A par of seventy, the course only has two par fives: one on each nine. I found the length of the holes to be good, a nice mix of long and short par fours, although the two par threes on the front play roughly the same distance as do the two on the back (at least from the middle tees).
If Deepdale ever wanted to look for a new name for the club, it could appropriately be called "The Dog-Leg Left Golf Club." Charles Blair Macdonald was a famous slicer of the ball and when he designed courses, he is said to have favored designs with dog-leg right holes, which didn't penalize the slicer as much. Deepdale is the opposite. I don't know if Dick Wilson was a hooker of the ball, but he certainly appears to have liked dog-leg left par-4 holes. The first hole is a dogleg left par four, as is the third. The most acute examples are the seventh and eighth holes. The seventh is a 365-yard dogleg left par four. The eighth is a 415-yard par four. To give a sense of the severity of the dog-legs. The eighth green returns the golfer back to the seventh tee; thus, you play in a complete 360-degree loop in the space of two holes.
The ninth hole is a dogleg left par four as well, finishing off a sequence of three back-to-back dog-leg left holes. Holes fourteen and fifteen are also back-to-back dogleg left par fours. Eighteen is a dogleg left, and, you guessed it, a par four. Not that there is anything wrong with a par-4 dogleg left hole, it just seems that the course has an over-abundance of them. I'm not criticizing, just observing. When I think about Merion, Pine Valley, and the National Golf Links just to name a few of my favorite courses, each has two or three dogleg left holes, so, for me it was clearly noticeable how many lefties there were at Deepdale. The other thing to explain in more detail is that the doglegs are not subtle, little benders to the left, they are almost all pretty sharp left turns.
Deepdale's two more defining characteristics are its proximity to Manhattan and the exclusiveness of its members. Today it remains a club dominated by New York's movers and shakers. It is reputed to have more billionaire members than any other golf course in the United States. Looking at the handicap list hanging in the locker room, it was indeed a list of tycoons, media personalities, and financiers; the creme-de-la-creme of New York's media, fashion, and finance industries. No need to Google the names on the membership list, many are recognizable at first blush. The club also has its own helipad to make it more convenient for members who so desire to take a chopper out to chase around the little white ball. Considering the traffic and roadways in Nassau County and Queens, it is no wonder they would want to do so. The historic, rambling clubhouse itself is spectacular, as is the bar area, locker room, and outdoor patio.
