KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 — It's Day 18 of Datuk Seri Najib Razak's criminal trial today, but what if you have not kept track of all the goings-on in court or are just simply overwhelmed by all the shocking revelations?
We at Malay Mail think you will find this condensed summary useful. Here are some quick facts before we dive into the details of what has taken place so far.
Najib, 66, was prime minister of Malaysia from April 2009 to May 2018, and finance minister from September 2008 to May 2018.
He was charged with abusing the two positions to obtain RM42 million for his gratification by being involved in the government's decision to issue a federal guarantee for the Retirement Fund Incorporated's (KWAP) RM4 billion loan to SRC International Sdn Bhd.
He was also charged with criminal breach of trust and money-laundering over RM42 million of SRC International funds.
The company was initially owned by controversial state investment firm 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) before it was put under the sole ownership of the Finance Ministry's Minister of Finance (MoF) Inc.
The trial started on April 3 with the Attorney General Tommy Thomas outlining what the prosecution aimed to prove; 35 witnesses have already testified so far while 35 volumes totalling around 7,000 pages of documents have been presented by the prosecution to Najib's lawyers.
Now that you are primed, get ready to jump into this simplified recap and highlights of what the prosecution witnesses (PW) and multiple documents have revealed in the past 17 days of trial:
1. Before SRC International was born
The 28th prosecution witness (PW28) Datuk Kamariah Noruddin, former deputy director general (Macro) of the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) in the Prime Minister's Office, revealed that 1MDB had via Najib applied for a RM3 billion federal grant for SRC International to secure energy supplies.
However, Kamariah described 1MDB's August 2010 application for RM3 billion as challenging for the EPU to process as it came directly from the prime minister instead of the usual route of other Cabinet members; also, SRC International was not even set up yet then.
The EPU finally approved in October 2010 only RM20 million to establish SRC International, which was then formed on January 7, 2011. (More info on SRC International can be found here in this Malay Mail story.)
2. How RM4 billion entered SRC International
As a newly-formed company, SRC International approached KWAP in June 2011 for a RM3.95 billion loan with 1MDB as the guarantor. (This was via a letter addressed to PM Najib and which allegedly contained his handwritten note of approval to the proposal to borrow from KWAP).
PW29 Amirul Imran Ahmat, who was the KWAP officer tasked with drafting proposals for loans sought by SRC International, hinted at what he believed to be the reluctance of the pension fund to lend money to the company.
Amirul initially drafted in 2011 a proposal for a RM1 billion loan instead, amid the absence of multiple supporting documents, but the KWAP investment panel on July 5, 2011 deferred its decision until more information was available.
Amirul then had to prepare a proposal for a RM2 billion loan to SRC International, which was discussed at the KWAP investment panel meeting on July 19, 2011 in which the KWAP CEO disclosed that Najib had asked to speed up the loan approval.
The KWAP investment panel had raised multiple concerns over the issuing of a RM2 billion loan to SRC International that only had RM2 in paid-up capital and the overconcentration of risk in one company.
SRC International finally got its first RM2 billion from KWAP in August 2011 after securing a government guarantee for the loan. (This first loan was for the purpose of SRC International's working capital and general investments).
SRC International received another RM2 billion in March 2012 from KWAP, within about two weeks of applying for the second loan that was also backed by a government guarantee letter signed by Najib. (This second loan was for the purpose of SRC International's working capital and investments linked to natural resources.)
3. What did SRC International do with its funds?
According to bank officers who have testified, a total of RM85 million flowed out from SRC International's AmIslamic Bank account-650 (where the second RM2 billion loan was transferred from KWAP) a few years later to SRC International's subsidiary Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd's AmIslamic Bank account.
Bank documents also showed Gandingan Mentari transferred a total of RM50 million to SRC International's purported corporate social responsibility partner Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd's Affin Bank account.
Ihsan Perdana was later shown to have transferred a total of RM42 million to two of Najib's personal AmIslamic Bank accounts ending with -880 and -906.
4. How money in Najib's accounts was spent
Najib's two earlier accounts at AmIslamic Bank were closed on August 2013 with a total remaining balance of over RM12 million, and replaced with three accounts at AmIslamic Bank that were all opened on July 2013.
The three new Najib accounts were all specially indicated with AmPrivate Banking-1MY, AmPrivate Banking-MY, AmPrivate Banking Y-1MY as the primary name and with Najib's name as the secondary name of the account holder, AmBank Jalan Raja Chulan branch manager R. Uma Devi said.
These three Najib accounts had account numbers, but it appears that such information may not necessarily show up in all banking documents at other banks on transactions involving these accounts.
AmPrivate Banking-1MY is 2112022011-880, AmPrivate Banking-MY is 2112022011-906, AmPrivate Banking-Y1MY is 2112022011-898. (The two accounts ending -880 and -906 were singled out by the attorney general on the first day of trial as part of the money flows the prosecution will prove.)
During the trial, Maybank KL branch manager Halijah Abdul Wahab verified three transactions between the Maybank accounts of Putra Perdana Construction Sdn Bhd (PPCSB), Permai Binaraya Sdn Bhd and the AmBank accounts as part of a larger web of transactions involving multiple accounts and more companies.
Two of these also did not bear any account numbers and it took another witness, Maybank Treasury Settlement section head Noorlina Mahmud, to verify via other banking documents that a RM5 million transfer to PPCSB's Maybank account came from "AmPrivate Banking-MY."
Just based on the testimony of R. Uma Devi alone — the manager of the AmBank branch were Najib's accounts were opened and active — a dizzying pattern of funds movement in his accounts can be seen.
Curiously, over RM3 million was channelled from one of Najib's accounts to two credit cards — although it has not been disclosed in court to whom the cards belong or their purpose.
(For more details of what Uma Devi's testimony revealed, read Malay Mail's previous story of the spider web of money transfers in the Najib accounts.)
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) later raided the AmBank Group building in July 2015, with the central bank's manager Ahmad Farhan Sharifuddin confirming that AmBank was also fined in November 2015 for failing to report multiple suspicious transactions in six Najib accounts — four current accounts, two credit card accounts.
5. Then there were cheques
One of Najib's accounts (-906) was used to issue 14 cheques worth over RM7.2 million between January 30 and February 26, 2015, for purposes such as funding for Barisan Nasional political parties, the promotion of Najib's 1Malaysia campaign, monitoring the local Chinese community's sentiments, a welfare home and for expenses such as water tanks.
There was a separate cheque of RM3.5 million from another Najib account (-898) that was given to a law firm on January 21, 2015. The purpose of this cheque has not been mentioned so far.
Altogether, the cheques from Najib's accounts mentioned so far in the trial come up to RM10,776,514 or over RM10.77 million.
The three Najib accounts were closed in March 2015 (less than three years after their opening) with a combined balance of just over RM100,000 that was then sent to Ihsan Perdana.
6. Wage prospects for the politically ambitious?
During the trial, witnesses also testified to how much Najib took home as an MP and prime minister.
As an MP, Najib received a monthly income of RM10,355.18 (excluding special payments) from 2011 to 2014, which increased to RM19,846.59 from 2015 to 2018, a witness testified.
Another witness testified that Najib took home RM48,681.65 monthly as deputy prime minister from January to April 2009, and a total monthly income of RM58,605.15 as prime minister from May 2009 until April 2018, and then a pro-rated salary for May 1 to May 9, 2018 including allowances of RM6,627.09.
Najib received a total of RM1,017,014.39 in May 2018 from the Prime Minister's Office, with the amount including the pro-rated sum and a special RM1 million payment. Also, he further received two special payments of RM22,826.65 and RM11,413.30 in December 2011 and January 2013.
Other memorable incidents that took place during the trial period include witnesses hailing Najib as "Bossku", his former aide's unauthorised leak of selected excerpts of the court's recording of trial proceedings, his lawyer reading the Billion Dollar Whale book out loud in court and Najib denying taking a selfie during court proceedings.
Today, KWAP Legal and Secretarial Department vice president Azlida Mazni Arshad, is expected to continue testifying as the 35th prosecution witness.
The trial before High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali is expected to go on until at least July 3, but may be extended if necessary.
The trial now is at the prosecution stage in which the prosecution must prove that there is a prima facie case for Najib to answer. If the prosecution succeeds, Najib will be ordered to enter his defence and be able to call his own witnesses.
Najib's lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah has effectively announced his client's defence would be that he is an alleged victim in a purported "conspiracy" by fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho.
Najib also has trial dates scheduled up to April next year for his other criminal cases, which will all be heard in the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.
Najib has to be personally present during each of the trials, so the cases cannot be heard on the same days.

New Silkroutes will consult SGX on need to seek shareholders' nod for planned deal
NEW Silkroutes Group said that it will consult the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on whether shareholder approval is required for a planned acquisition of a chain of traditional Chinese medicine clinics.
New Silkroutes said that it is also of the view that director Vivien Chen is still considered independent even though she is a selling shareholder in the proposed deal.
New Silkroutes, an oil and gas company, said on Sept 15 that it plans to buy a 51 per cent stake in privately held Healthsciences International (HSI) for S$2.2 million.
In its Sept 15 announcement, New Silkroutes disclosed that the net loss attributable to 51 per cent of HSI was about S$291,372 in 2015, which was about 6 per cent of the US$3.5 million net loss incurred by New Silkroutes in the year ended June 2016.
In its queries to New Silkroutes, SGX said that as long as negative figures were used to calculate that profitability ratio, the company must consult the exchange on whether shareholder approval is required. New Silkroutes replied that since HSI's loss relative to New Silkroutes' loss resulted in a positive percentage, the company did not think that it had to consult SGX, but will do so nevertheless.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
SGX also noted that Ms Chen is a shareholder of HSI, along with non-independent New Silkroutes directors Lee Soek Shen and Goh Jin Hian. Ms Chen will receive S$389,657 in consideration as a result of the proposed deal. All three directors have agreed to abstain from voting on the deal.
New Silkroutes said that Ms Chen is still considered an independent director. Even though she is an interested party in the proposed acquisition, the transaction is a one-off deal and will not affect Ms Chen's judgment, the company said.

Blessing in Disguise?
so i pull around and i stop, put my blinker on, and sit and wait for this person to pull out of their spot so I can have it. All of a sudden I feel this "bump" and a hear a loud "screech". um... yah.
Merry friggin christmas.
There happened to be a lady that was pulling out of her spot and backed right into me with her honkin' suburban. didn't even see me.
All in all- it was fine. the only damage was to my drivers side door. Huge dent and a massive scratch to match. all the elecrtical still works, locks and it opens, and the window still works. So seriously- it wasn't that big of a deal. She was very nice and apologetic- hated that it happened.
no damage to her vehicle of course.
Called the police- got a report, got her insurance info blah blah blah. an hour later, i'm finally able to shop.
then i get home and immediately call her insurance agency. Come to find out, she's already called and put the claim in! Nice huh? So now I get to get some quotes and they'll cut me a check.
Now..... do i enjoy that I now have a white trash vehicle? no. BUT.... because of all of our moves, we've had to go into major credit card debt to pay for all of them. This check, can possibly wipe out almost all of it. So do we fix the van or do we keep the money and pay off some debt? Honestly- we're leaning toward keeping the $. Our plan was to keep this van until it dies, no plans of selling it or trading it in at any point. so we just live with the eye sore. Guess we'll see how much we get and what it's worth huh? (i'll post a pic later.... can't find my card right now)
on the other hand- We have this puny little 19" tv right? We got it as a wedding gift and it's been good to us. Over the years, the picture has slowly gone down. It's now to the point that the settings for the picture are at their highest and it's almost impossible to see what's going on. We've been looking around for a new TV for a while, just haven't gotten it. We go to watch a movie the other night and we literally couldn't see a thing. it was so annoying. So we sit and look at the finances and figure we can "afford" something. We go shopping and end up finding a fantastic deal and came home with a new LCD tv. hook the sucker up and holy cow!!! such a difference! RIck is dying- he's so in love with it- i told him to marry it. lol----- so there's our christmas, anniversary, and birthday gifts for the next 5 years. :)
anyone wanna come over and play Wii or watch a movie? it's friggin awesome! :)-

Sorry about your car accident. That happened to us about a year ago in the York Hall parking lot at SCAD. Only we had a big hassle with the girl who hit us. Anyway, We have also been looking for a TV. I am glad you found one. Our TV was working fine until Brian tried to get behind it and it landed picture down so we have a lovely Rainbow/black white circle as we watch tv. Really annoying. We are still looking and hope to find something in the near future. Possibly off Craigslist.
Hope your family is doing well in the "real" world. Robert passed his review! and has another one in Feb or Mar. We should be done in May. Did Rick get extra time to work on his final project or did he have to finish within the same quarter?
Talk to you soon.
- Jen Gallacher said...
Yucky on the accident! :( But suh-weet on the new tv. Brett would like one, but so cannot justify that right now.
- Lisa Brown said...
It must have something to do with Walmart parkinglots - the same thing happened to me last year. thank goodness it was in Kevin's car and not my van. How fun about the TV. The next time we move, it is on our list of things to buy :).
- jinxi~ aka angi said...
Crap about the van.. but can totally understand needing the cash!
YAY for your new tv!!!
- Unknown said...
I say keep the dent and pay off your debt. You can always fix the dent later but your interest will just keep adding up. Do you want to send us some of that check? :)

1 arrested for stabbing near fire station
A firefighter standing outside a station at West 1st Avenue and South Walnut Street Friday witnessed a stabbing and treated the victim's head injury, authorities say.
Dean Carr was on the south side of the fire station when he saw a man approach two people who were sitting in the grassy area just south of the station about 6:15 p.m., according to court documents.
Carr called 911 when a fight broke out and saw the assailant pick up two sleeping bags and walk away. He treated the man for a stab wound to the head and identified Richard A. Sala, 21, as the attacker. Spokane police had found a knife with blood on it in Sala's right front pocket, documents say.
Sala, who has previous convictions for assault, said he fought with the couple because he believes the sleeping bags belong to him, police say. He was arrested for first-degree robbery. The sleeping bags were recovered.
Two hours later, another stabbing was reported at 2305 W. Dean Ave. Suspect Kenneth W. Middleton, 32, was arrested for first-degree assault for allegedly attacking a man who was arguing with the man's own wife.
Both men appeared in Superior Court on Monday.

This book had me speechless! The emotions that I felt at times were overwhelming!! I was crying a river at the very beginning! Then came the anger! My anger was solely directed at Jeffrey! He was selfish to the point of being ignorant! He did not really care who was hurt in his quest to make Sara his!! He was arrogant enough to think that she would be waiting for him!!
As I read more, I realized what was up with Jeffrey. I became engrossed by his story, and the path his life had taken! His remorse as he told his story, and anguish for the pain he caused others! The reasons behind his actions becomes clearer! My thinking turned around and, so did my emotions! Yes, I became a Team Jeffrey Fan! I wanted him to find his Angel! My cries turned into sighs!
The author wrote an explosive final book for the series!! There are two others,and they should be read first. All three are well worth the time!!

Munster have done it again. The southern province are into their fourteenth Champions Cup semi-final thanks to a 17-13 win over Edinburgh in BT Murrayfield this afternoon.
Two tries from Ireland international Keith Earls proved to be enough in the end, with the 31-year-old crossing the line in both halves.
Brilliant by Murray!
Brilliant by Farrell!
Sensational from Keith Earls!

But it was a moment of absolute stupidity from prop Pierre Schoeman that ultimately cost Edinburgh the game. The South African was penalised with just over 10 mins to go for an off the ball hit on Tadhg Beirne that was both needless and stupid.
Tyler Bleyendaal kicked the resulting penalty into touch and Earls had his second not long after. Such a silly penalty. Hard luck Edinburgh.

It really has been an great adventure & huge learning experience for your children -- & for us. The fact that several of your children really wanted to stay longer speaks for how much they enjoyed themselves. And, of course, we worked hard to help make every day great.
As we said from our first meeting, our objectives were to keep your child safe & well the entire trip, and to provide an immersive Spanish language & culture learning experience that he or she couldn't get anywhere else. While it was a fantastic, fun, often exhiliarating, and tiring 2 weeks, we look at how things went and understand that not everything was perfect. A lot of time was spent trouble shooting (minor concerns with family or house, upset stomachs & headaches, classes they didn't like, visiting many churches & cathedrals, and more). Our first goal was always to help make something better. Beyond that we hoped to demonstrate how a group of 19 individuals can problem-solve & adapt on the fly.
Our daily meetings were the usual reminders about schedules and advice about being careful, being punctual, being aware of cultural differences & customs, & anything else we could think of that would help them appreciate & navigate their way through a city in Spain & living with a family they'd met only days ago. Pretty heady stuff, and we have to say that your children were fantastic. We received compliments from many people, from their families here to the school director to the excursion guides, from their teachers to leaders of other groups. We called every parent on the second day here, and they were delighted at how willing the kids were to speak Spanish & participate!
Of course, as well as we did as a group, none of us was 100% on our game every moment either. A few spoke Spanish 95-100% of the time here, and others got lazy with it at times. Some were where they needed to be when they needed to be there, and others had a real challenge with that. But to live in a new city, to travel to 5 different cities & towns, hundreds of kilometers on a bus, packing essential carry around items & a picnic lunch; to live with a Spanish family; to walk MANY miles every day; to attend Spanish classes every day; to negotiate purchases & go on tours & listen to lectures, & much more -- & and to never have a serious issue or concern speaks volumes about how they did very well when it was most important. Was it perfect? No, and if you have traveled before, you know that perfection isn't the point -- it's more how to assess each situation & make the best of it, right? It was awfully good most of the time, and when it wasn't, we worked together to do what we could to make it better.
At our pre-trip meetings, we often spoke of the other intangible life skills we hoped to develop as we traveled -- like adaptability, handling unexpected delays & disappointing realities, staying healthy & dealing with feeling tired or sick, building confidence, developing appreciation of another culture & its people, growing in both independence and responsibility, & working together as a group, among others -- and that is where you may see subtle & maybe not so subtle changes in your child. These are the skills that we believe will help them feel confident & capable in challenging situations in their future lives.
This is the inaugural trip, and we have learned a lot. For the seniors, we know that the experience will put them in a better position to adapt & succeed when they go to college and when they continue their travels to new lands. For the sophomores & juniors, we hope this has sparked their curiousity & appreciation of other cultures as well as their own and will feel appreciative of the many opportunities they have here in Region 18 and LOLHS!
It will be good to be back! We will bring home a little bit of Salamanca with us and certainly leave a little bit of the Wildcat spirit there

Body-Solid poised to grow, promote itself more, think bigger
In the less than three months since Scott McDonald and Stuart Glenn took over as CEOs to help Body-Solid enter "another era," as semi-retiring co-founder Earl Shraiberg called it, the two have hired staff, are looking to bigger marketing plans, shortened wait for products and have a goal to bring back more spark and drive.
"We all want to grow, not stand still. You're going to see an aggressive and assertive company," said David Kane, only onboard since early October as the company's new vice president of sales.
Kane has many years in specialty retail, including cycling (Trek and specialty retail), motorcycle (Helmet House) and fitness (Diamondback), all of which he said have laid just the right groundwork for his arrival at Body-Solid.
"The time in the motorcycle and bike industries is a classic fit for here," Kane said. "The potential is incredible."
When Shraiberg announced his semi-retirement in June at age 55, he was the first to say that the company needed younger and more aggressive management. So he and co-founders Tony Tsai and Steve Kuly were going to step back and hand off company day-to-day oversight (see SNEWS® story, June 17, 2005, "Body-Solid founders semi-retire, hand over the reins").
Their choice as the new leadership was a combination of McDonald, who was hired in mid-2004 as CFO, and Stuart Glenn, who has run the Fitness Factory retail branch of the business since that began 18-plus years ago.
Most of the changes won't really show up until next year, but the team has already worked on its free weight line's aesthetics, adding softer gray tones, and softened some of the lines on a few home gyms. Of course, the Forest Park, Ill.-based, company has already been working on some product updates, but the new team -- including a couple of new engineers, a company liaison to the Asian plant and some additions to customer service -- wants to take another leap forward. The company has always been known for good solid product with a good value, but taking a harder look at appearance and getting out the Body-Solid name is all part of the plan. Â
"It is furniture and it is going to be in the family room," Glenn told SNEWS® on a recent visit. "We're experimenting with a lot of different things.
"We believe it's time to start," Glenn added, noting that McDonald was in Asia in mid-October visiting factories, something that will be on the agenda more often than in the past. Â
More of the changes will be revealed at next year's Health & Fitness Business show in August in Denver, with more being readied for retail by fall 2006.
"Our plan is to have some ooo's and aaaah's for the August show next year," Glenn explained. That will include, in first order, new cardiovascular product with beefed-up features and more user-friendliness. Second, comes streamlined strength product.
For Kane's part, part of the advancement will include not only adding retailers in certain areas, but also working to educate and train the ones they do have.
"I'm passionate about the business of specialty retailing," Kane said. "If you educate the consumer as they should be, they will be your customer for life."
Education starts in-house with updated product shots (they've added a small photography studio in the back of the warehouse with a residential look), as well as working on "little stuff" like hangtags, brochures, signs and price tags.
"We feel really good about the future," Glenn said. "There'll be some ooo's and aaah's, but there'll also be a lot of little improvements."

Contact Your Representatives
The Honorable ________
Office Address
United States House of Representatives/United States Senate
City, State, Zip
Dear Representative/Senator ______________:
Homeopathy can save lives. At a time when there are many health concerns that deeply affect our country, such as the opioid crisis, the FDA has chosen to focus on restricting the availability of homeopathic remedies, remedies which provide a low-cost, inherently safe approach to address many common ailments, both serious and mild. The agency is doing this despite a record of safety that spans 200 years without a single documented injury or death attributable to homeopathy.
As an informed (mom, grandma, dad…) and consumer of homeopathic medicine, I am deeply concerned about the move by the FDA to withdraw the Compliance Policy Guidance (CPG) 400.400 which has effectively regulated the safety and purity of homeopathic remedies since 1988. That guidance has allowed homeopathic medicine to flourish in an atmosphere of trust and quality assurance. My feeling about the FDA's proposed changes is summarized by the familiar adage: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Nevertheless, the FDA has now created a Draft Guidance intended to replace the CPG 400.400. Rather than improving on an already good situation, this conceptually flawed and poorly worded Draft Guidance will undermine trust and quality assurance, sow confusion and uncertainty, and erode the freedom to choose inherently safe homeopathic remedies.
As a user of homeopathic remedies, it is vital to me that my freedom to choose homeopathy not be obstructed by the imprudent actions of the FDA.
In an effort to secure sound regulation of homeopathic remedies, Americans for Homeopathy Choice has filed a Citizen Petition in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. That petition is currently held in the docket of the FDA, docket #FDA-2018-P-2962-0001. I have read the petition and fully support all of the actions requested by Americans for Homeopathy Choice. These actions include:
- Formation of an FDA advisory committee on homeopathy.
- Withdrawal of the Draft Guidance on Homeopathy dated December 2017.
- Conversion of Compliance Policy Guidance 400.400 (with minor changes) into a regulation.
I am also encouraging you to join the Congressional Integrative Health and Wellness Caucus. The caucus was formed to "provide a platform for legislators to participate together and focus on the important opportunity that integrative health and wellness approaches offers across federally funded health programs, and find ways to make these solutions more available to the American people." Why is this important? For the simple reason that integrative approaches can offer improved outcomes with lower costs.
For example, homeopathic remedies are showing themselves both effective and economical in addressing pain management, drug addiction, allergies, overuse of antibiotics, and mental health conditions. From this caucus you can get important information about nontoxic, inexpensive approaches like homeopathy to many of our current health care challenges.
Chaired this year by Reps. Mike Coffman, R-CO and Jared Polis, D-CO, the caucus held its inaugural meeting March 15, 2018. You can read about that session at the following web address: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2018/03/prweb15363313.htm
I urge you to join the caucus and attend the next meeting or send a staff member if you are unavailable.
With all the challenges we face in health care, now is not the time to restrict the options available to Americans to improve their health outcomes. Now is the time to protect and expand those options in order to provide maximum flexibility and choice to practitioners and consumers alike as they seek better health for themselves, their patients and their families.
Thank you for your consideration of this very important matter.
Regardless of the individual political parties of these politicians, we call on our Representatives to protect homeopathy under the HPUS, as it was originally intended and understood, without rescinding the Compliance and Policy Guide 400.400 (CPG). Rescinding the CPG 400.400 is unacceptable, reckless and will be harmful to the American people who use homeopathy.
We make no statement politically, for or against these politicians. Instead, we appeal to citizens to exercise their right to contact their voted politician and express their concerns.
We encourage you to reach out to your district Representatives, urging them to take action.

"Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future."
To be very honest, I have been feeling a little uninspired about everything at the moment. Being so busy with school, internal after internal, prepping for youth councils coming up in the next few days, all while being smack bang in the middle of an intense production week; it's definitely been a rough few weeks. But there's always something that keeps me going even when I feel like I'm running on empty, and it's been my Christian friends - a few in particular who I meet up with every Friday for brekkie and Jesus time.
It all started after production season in 2016. I met a friend of mine called Bryre who was also a lead in the production, and we clicked right away. We both bonded over refusing to kiss a boy in a scene because... gross.
You know the moments when you meet someone, and you just know they're meant to be your friend? Take David and Jonathan in the Bible for example! It says in 1 Samuel 18:1-3, "After David had finished talking with Saul, he met Jonathan, the king's son. There was an immediate bond between them, for Jonathan loved David. From that day on Saul kept David with him and wouldn't let him return home. And Jonathan made a solemn pact with David, because he loved him as he loved himself".
Well this was one of those moments.
We both spent the next year catching up for coffee out of school, and we would talk about our faith and church; no matter where the conversation was heading, it always seemed to come back to Jesus. I always struggled expressing my faith with friends outside of church because I was worried about being seen as the 'Jesus Freak', and I simply didn't want to be judged because no one around me felt the same.
Bryre was desperate for Christian friends and was always worried when she would hear sermons about how 'you will become like people you're surrounded by', because her friends were non-Christians and into some... interesting stuff. Bryre and her parents spent years praying for God to provide her with friends who shared the same love for Jesus that she had. Looking back on it now, she says, "My prayers were suddenly and abundantly answered this year. I've found myself surrounded by the most beautiful Christian girls I could ever ask for, and I've learnt the power of spending time with sisters in Christ, encouraging each other, having the same values, being able to pray for each other and love God."
After a little while, it was placed on our hearts that we keep the conversation going and bring it to school. This challenged me a lot in my faith, but acknowledging that Jesus is with me WHEREVER I go was exactly what I needed to do.
So now we have a little group where we start our Friday by having breakfast together at school alongside our close friend, Ana, and we take this time out to chat about Jesus and where we're at. Through these mornings, I've been able to grow confident in my faith and know that I don't have to be afraid about sharing my love for Jesus. My sisters in Christ have helped me in so many ways, and they are a true blessing. God has been at the centre of these friendships, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
I want to encourage you to surround yourself with Godly people, for it is alongside these people where you learn more about yourself and your faith - and the more you know about yourself, the more you learn about God.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."

Podiatrists treat a wide range of foot and ankle problems. They are experts in the analysis of foot mechanics in other words, how the foot functions when we stand or move. Some of the conditions treated include: Achilles tendinosis, other foot tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, metatarsalgias (including Morton's neuromas), Sever's disease, and chronic ankle instability. They also commonly deal with other conditions within the lower limbs, including sports-related injuries, shin splints, runners knee and iliotibial band syndromes. Treatment modalities can include manual therapy (manipulation of the foot and ankle joints), exercise and/or taping regimes and the provision of orthotic devices where appropriate. They can also advise on footwear. Bob also now offers shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopathy (You can see Bob's blog on shockwave treatments for these conditions HERE

This month's Instagram Takeover features Western North Carolina native and fly fishing enthusiast Olivia Williams. Olivia, who lives in the Blue Ridge Mountain town of Brevard, North Carolina, has been fly fishing for a little over a year now. During that time—a period she describes as a long—strenuous learning process, she has documented her journey as a budding angler every step of the way. Born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, Olivia is a self-taught angler. When she's not fishing she spends her days working at the Asheville-based Hunter Banks Fly Fishing where she works in communications and marketing, maintaining and cultivating the shop's social media presence in addition to her own.
"The guys here at Hunter Banks have been great," Olivia said. "They really took me in and showed me the ropes of the Western North Carolina fly fishing scene."
You can keep up with Olivia's adventures here, and stay tuned to our Instagram account all week as we share some her favorite adventures.
[divider]A Q & A with Olivia[/divider]
BRO: How did get started in fly fishing?
OW: The very first fish I ever caught was a little brookie and all I can remember was being amazed by the colors and unique patterns on his back. I remember thinking that I just wanted to see more and couldn't do that watching from the river banks. I soon realized that the only way I could gain skills and experience was to just go out there by myself and keep trying. I started working night shift around that time and found it so easy to get off work and drive to the nearest river and cast a few lines. It became not just a habit for me but somewhat of a way to unwind from a busy night.
BRO: Any favorite rivers?
OW: WNC has so many different types of rivers and streams to offer to an angler that it is hard to pick a favorite. Plus if I told you my secret would be out. I can say, the small the better…
BRO: What is it about fly fishing that you find most appealing?
OW: The community built around fly fishing has to be one of the most supportive, knowledgable, and enthused group of individuals I have ever been apart of. This community is not just built on skills or experience. It is made of excited, passionate individuals who have a love for the small things.
BRO: Have you done any fishing outside of the Blue Ridge?
OW: I grew up spin reel fishing in the Boundary Waters up in Minnesota and Canada for Norther Pike and Walleye. Now that is whole other ball game!
BRO: If you could only fish one fly for the rest of your life, what would it be?
OW: One fly to rule them all… well my choice would have to be a dry fly, specifically a Caddis fly. For me, dry fly fishing is one of the most attractive style of fishing there is. Being able to sneak up on a little pocket of water, lightly cast your fly, watch it land and in seconds see a trout surface for it has to be one of the most exciting moments I've experienced.
BRO: What are some of your favorite outdoor activities aside from fly fishing?
OW: I'm very much a seasonal person. So during the summer my pup and I will earn our miles by doing some early morning trail running in search of a sunrise. During the winter I do a lot of hiking to find little creeks for the summer months. I always have my camera near me and, more often than not, find it difficult to not snap a couple shots wherever I am.
BRO: What advice would you give to a would-be fly fisher who hasn't quite made the plunge?
OW: Don't be afraid to step out into the river by yourself! Having to teach myself for the most part was the best thing I could have done for myself. You learn so much more with trial and error, losing countless flies and having days where you seemed to catch more tree limbs than fish. And when the day comes when you need a river buddy to show you around, ask for advice, or just to share a laugh with, don't be afraid to ask.

When our son Nicholas was 5 weeks old, we brought him and his twin sister Emmy to our pediatrician for what we thought was a routine well visit. Though the twins had been born four weeks early, Nicholas had only been in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for a few days with low blood sugar and jaundice. Both babies seemed healthy and we had no major concerns.
However, as we watched our pediatrician listen to Nicholas' heart and pulse, we realized something wasn't right. He told us the pulse in Nicholas' lower extremities was weaker than the pulse in his upper body. He suspected Nicholas might have coarctation of the aorta and referred us to our local heart center, where they confirmed the diagnosis and immediately scheduled us for surgery at Boston Children's Hospital. …
Experience Journal: 'Heart defects won't keep me from reaching my goals'
Emily Ryan was born with coarctation of the aorta and a ventricular septal defect (VSD). But these congenital heart defects have never kept her down. Even though she's had a pacemaker since age 4, she's always led an extremely active lifestyle.
Emily's parents and her team of caregivers from the Heart Center at Boston Children's Hospital have helped Emily understand her heart condition and have given her the confidence and encouragement to realize her full potential — both in the classroom and on the track.
Now a competitive Division 1 athlete and outdoor leader in college, Emily wants everyone to understand, "Just because you have a congenital heart defect, doesn't mean you can't be active or do whatever you want to do."
The Experience Journals are collections of stories, videos and personal experiences from families about what it has been like to live with their children's illnesses. This video is part of the Heart Experience Journal, created by the Department of Psychiatry and the Heart Center.

My name is Andy Pope. I am a lifelong pianist, composer, and musical playwright. In recent years, I have also been involved with journalism. My work has appeared on the independent news site Berkeleyside, the blog site Classism Exposed, and the news site Spokane Faith and Values. In addition, I've been published in a newspaper called Street Spirit, where my column — Homeless No More — has encouraged those who have escaped homelessness during their transition to indoor living.
I've also written a new musical, Eden in Babylon which explores the effects of homelessness on the youth of 21st Century America. As such, it portrays the hugeness of the division caused by the ever-widening gap between the super-rich and the grossly impoverished in today's society. Though meant to be entertaining, Eden in Babylon is also intended to be enlightening, since it depicts the world of youth homelessness in a realistic way.
Among my many pages and posts, you will find sound files, demo recordings, videos, a script, and other material pertinent to this project. While I don't want to give away the whole story on the front page, the comments below are from people familiar with it.

Dean Gaffney tries to go incognito in HUGE furry hood as he leaves court after getting off traffic charge
The former EastEnders star drew attention with his striking jacket
FORMER EastEnders star Dean Gaffney failed to go incognito on Friday as he left a courthouse in Manchester.
The 38-year-old was seen leaving Manchester Magistrates Court after being cleared over a minor motoring matter.
As he left court Dean instantly drew attention by pulling up a Canada Goose-style extreme weather jacket complete with a huge fur hood in an attempt to hide his face.
Initially father of two Gaffney - who became a surprise hit on the 2006 series of I'm A Celebrity - managed to obscure his face with the hood but was captured later - with the hood down chatting on his mobile.
The former EastEnders favourite had just had the case thrown out against him by a judge after prosecutors were unable to locate paperwork.
Dean shot to fame in 1993 when he landed the role of hapless Robbie Jackson in the hit BBC soap.
He spent 11 years on Albert Square before being axed from the cast in 2003.
The actor has since made two return trips to Walford, heading back for brief visits in 2010 and 2015.

Crowd2Fund, a regulated "five model" crowdfunding platform, has announced the launch of the Crowd Exchange, a new site that will a holders of debt or equity in private companies to sell their investments to other individuals online. Crowd2Fund states the primary objective of the exchange is to create a much needed "central market" for trading new asset classes such as crowdfunded investments that otherwise remain illiquid. Crowd2Fund is tackling a much discussed issue in the crowdfunding space – providing an exit for investors.
Crowd2Fund CEO Chris Hancock commented on the new exchange;
"The Crowdfunding sector has been crying out for a simple, inexpensive and transparent mechanism for exchanging small cap debt and equity investments. The internet and search engines such as Google make it possible for there to be far less need for heavy regulation and traditional compliance when compared with expensive alternatives such as AIM. We expect the Crowd Exchange to be largely self-governing due to the advent of wider access to information and the transparency which this brings. Investors now have all the tools they need to make their own decisions."
"One of the key challenges facing the Crowdfunding and P2P lending sector, which grew by £1.74 billion last year, has been to devise a means by which investors can exit their investments and gain access to their cash. The Crowd Exchange will make this possible, for loans which might otherwise take years to repay or for equity which might not attain material value until a company is either acquired or floated on a Stock Exchange at considerable expense."
Crowd2Fund states that they plan to form partnerships with institutions and wealth managers. The founders are confident that, if detailed data for each investment can be analysed more readily, this will attract the interest and subsequent liquidity of larger investors to the marketplace.
Crowd2Fund is a relatively new platform having soft-launched in 2014. The site has funded over £1 million in deals since the beginning of 2015.

I love a good plot twist. Mess with my mind, convince me that everything I've thought the entire way through a book or movie is wrong and give me the real story. Let me gasp in wonder and amazement about the author's brilliant mind to think of such interesting story turns.
Except I've found I'm hardly ever surprised by plot twists anymore. I don't know if I'm just good at guessing plot twists, or if it's because I've been reading more and I'm more aware of what to look for. I tried thinking of books I've read since 2013 started to see if any of them surprised me, which ones I saw coming from a mile away, and which ones didn't work for me.
I recently saw a spoiler of "The End Games on accident". I won't say what the spoiler was, but I was surprised because as soon as I read the summary, I took the spoiler as a given. I didn't even realize we were suppose to think that said spoiler would not happen. It just seemed a logically extension of the summary to me.
So, I decided to go through some of the books I've read since January & see which one surprised me and which ones I saw coming. (Don't worry, spoilers will be marked IN RED ALL CAPS LETTERS! IF THERE ARE ANY)
Saw it A Mile Away:
I think this one may have been intentional, but still. Not hard to guess. The foreshadowing starts within the first couple of chapters and with every bit of information we got, my theory made more sense and was justified at the end. I think most people saw this plot twist coming.
I was pretty certain how Pandemonium would end as soon as I finished Delirium. I found the plot of Pandemonium pretty predictable; of course Lena joins the revolution, of course plot reveal at the end happens, etc., which I think is why it was such a lackluster read for me.
There's a few different summaries for this book, but one of them mentions a psychopath, as and soon as we're introduced to the Period 8 kids, it's pretty easy to spot who it is. Unfortunately, this lack of a real twist is what made me not like the book as much as I could have.
Would Have Bet on It:
Twists I wasn't completely 100% sure of, but still pretty certain my hunches were correct–enough to put (a little) money on it.
OK, now that I've sufficiently warned you(but really, if you haven't read this book yet and don't want to be spoiled, here's your last chance to turn back! I know I hate spoilers, so I'm trying to give you ample room. Are you sure you want to continue? OK).
Edward turns up in the middle of the sea from nowhere and is evasive. Of course he's from the island. Juliet has to take injections for a "rare condition?" We know there's something fishy there. I was shocked by the ending, but more by the cliffhanger than any twists. I really do like these twists, though, even if I guessed them ahead of time; they were really well-done and horrifying.
Weird sudden onset of certain skills aside, The Maze Runner was pretty predictable science fiction. There's a twist at the end, but it's pretty easy to see coming when everything starts to wrap up a little too quickly. It's a bit of a cliffhanger that I really hated, despite being almost certain the book would end that way!
Yay! You Surprised Me!
I wasn't surprised by all the twist in this book, but I was surprised by the main one. The revelation came a little late for my liking, but it was still a really well-done twist that did catch me completely off-guard. My favorite kind.
Oh my goodness. The ending to this book is just. . . perfect. It is one of my favorite endings ever, and I did not see it coming. I did not have even an inkling of it. I'm pretty sure my mouth literally gaped open reading the last page. I had to sit and process it for a moment. I really enjoyed this book, but it wasn't perfect. The ending, however, was.
So, on the whole, out of the books that had significant plot twist, I saw the majority coming or at least had a hunch. If you're read any of these books, let me know how you felt about the twists! (Please be careful of spoilers–mark them clearly if you reference them! I'd hate for someone to be spoiled). I have to say my favorite twist of any book I've read this year is Parallel by Lauren Miller. I cannot get over the ending, I love it so much.

Super Duper Alice Cooper
Super Duper Alice Cooper is a 2014 biographical film by Banger Films about Alice Cooper (the man) and covers the time from his childhood up to the triumphant The Nightmare Returns tour of 1986.
Although the film features interviews with Alice Cooper and a range of musical icons (including Shep Gordon, Bob Ezrin, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith, Elton John, John Lydon and Dee Snider) it is notable in that none of them actually appear as 'talking heads'. The film also tackles the lack of video content from Alice's early years by cleverly animating photographs.
The film is also notable in that it touches on areas of Alice's private life that had not been widely covered in the past. Most notably, is the admission that Alice was addicted to cocaine, which nearly claimed his life in the 80's.
A few issues with the film are that (a) it doesn't feature original Alice Cooper Group member Michael Bruce, who was apparantly "hard to find" and (b) it's ending point, whilst understandable, means that nearly 30 years of Alice's career is not covered. On the latter, this comes across as though there has been nothing notable about Alice's career since 1986 (which some, not me, might argue is a fair point). Of course, there is always the possibility that another film may be released covering his latter years, but it probably wouldn't have the necessary appeal to make it worthwhile.
Overall though, the film is essential viewing for all Alice Cooper fans.
Super Duper Alice Cooper DVD
2014, Eagle Rock Entertainment, EV306599
This USA DVD version of Super Duper Alice Cooper comes in a clear case and features the film and a simple booklet, which is a cut-down version of the material provided in the Deluxe Edition (below). This copy is hand-signed by Alice on the front.
Super Duper Alice Cooper Deluxe Edition
2014, Eagle Rock Entertainment, EREDV1028
This UK version of Super Duper Alice Cooper, purchased from Amazon, is presented in a nice 60-page hardback book and contains a 4-page introduction by writer and producer Ralph Chapman and a stack of photos of Alice and the original band.
At the back are 4 discs which are the movie DVD, the movie Blu-Ray, a DVD of the partial 1972 concert at Centre Sportif Montreal and an audio CD of the July 2009 show at Montreux.
Super Duper Alice Cooper Deluxe Limited Numbered Edition
2014, Eagle Rock Entertainment, EVB334869
This UK version of Super Duper Alice Cooper was expensive at about £100 and features bespoke poster, T-shirt, panties and frisbee along with the Deluxe Edition book. The poster is nice as, much like the Classic Rock Welcome 2 My Nightmare Fan Pack, it features the name of everyone who pre-ordered the set (mine is either side of Alice's right eye for your information). Although the book is essentially identical to the Deluxe Edition (see above) the DVD version of the movie is Region 1 only (it doesn't work in Europe, which is Region 2) plus is has a 'Limited Edition' sticker over the original barcode (mine being 0,599 of 2,000).
When you look at what you get for the additional £70 or so over the Deluxe Edition, you can't help but feel a little short-changed. This is especially so when you consider that the Deluxe Edition wasn't announced for sale (for about £30) on Amazon until some time after the equivalent set was offered (for about £50) on the now inactive Super Duper Alice Cooper website.

Chiang Mai Police Sieze 80 Kg of Adulterated Honey
CHIANG MAI – Seven people have been arrested with about 80 kilogram of honey diluted with corn syrup, sugar and honey fragrance in San Sai district.
The adulterated honey was seized at a rented home on Tuesday evening by a team of police, health and administrative officials supported by soldiers.
Ranya Ratanasing, the operator of the plant, and six people working with her were detained. All of them are tenants.
Ms Ranya allegedly admitted they bought beehive honey from Phayao province and mixed it with corn syrup, sugar and honey fragrance. They also added bits of beeswax to make the product look like pure honey.
She said it cost them 50-60 baht per kilogram and they sold the adulterated honey at 80-150 baht per kilogram at flea markets.
They were initially charged with selling food that was not properly labelled. Tests would be made on the honey and if it were found to be contaminated additional charges would follow, officials said.
How to Tell If Your Honey Is Pure or Adulterated
Honey is well known for its positive health benefits, thanks to its high mineral and vitamin contents. Unfortunately, not all the honey sold at the supermarket is pure.
Honey is often adulterated, meaning it is mixed with glucose solutions or low-quality honeys with a high water content, because the honey has been taken from cells that are not properly covered with wax.
Here are a few simple tests you can do at home to check if your honey is high-quality and pure, or impure and with a high water content.
Read the label
The first thing you should do before buying a jar of honey is read the label and check that the ingredient list doesn't contain "high-fructose corn syrup" or commercial glucose, two additives that are frequently used to "stretch" the honey and keep it from solidifying.
Solidification of the honey
All honey is liquid, but with time they tend to solidify, or "crystallize" into a substance resembling grains of sugar. If you buy a jar of honey that is already crystallized, it is pure. If your honey is liquid, you can wait a few days to see if it solidifies or throw it in the fridge to accelerate the process. If the honey never crystallizes, there is a high probability that it is adulterated honey.
Tricks for knowing if your honey is pure
Here are some easy tricks that can be useful for checking if the honey you have bought is pure or if it has been in some way adulterated or has a high water content.
- Take a tablespoon of honey and put it in a glass of water. If the honey dissolves, then it is not pure. Pure honey should stay together as a solid when submerged in water.
- Take a bit of honey and mix it with water. Then place four or five drops of vinegar into the solution. If it turns foamy, the honey might have been adulterated with gypsum.
- Scoop a bit of honey into a spoon and let it fall from the spoon. Honey with high water content will fall quickly. Mature honey of good quality will stay on the spoon or fall very slowly.
- Light a match and try to burn some of the honey. If it lights and burns, then it is pure. Impure or low-quality honey often contains extra water that keeps it from burning.
- If you have iodine at home, take some honey, mix it with water, and add a few drops of iodine. If the solution turns blue, then the honey has been adulterated with some sort of starch or flour.
- Take a small piece of old, hard bread and submerge it in the honey. If, when you remove it 10 minutes later, the bread is still hard, then the honey is pure. If there is a lot of water in the honey, the bread will soften.
As you can see, these simple tests will help you confirm the quality of the honey you buy and choose the purest, highest-quality option, in turn helping you reap the maximum benefits of including honey in your diet.

Entertainer Carmen Electra is gracing the cover of LaPalme's summer issue, in which she opened up on her relationship with Prince.
Electra, who eventually became the music icon's protégée, revealed, "That first time I met Prince, he was very quiet. I was very shy, so there was this awkward moment of us just kind of standing in front of each other. He broke the ice by asking me if I wanted to play pool, and I was so horrible that he just kept laughing at me."
Prince also had some influence on her stage name. Electra explained, "I went in the studio and I loved it, but I reminded him that my name was Tara. He told me, 'You look like a Carmen, so, to me, you're Carmen.'"
Prince died unexpectedly at his Paisley Park estate in late April, and many are still wondering about the cause of his death. His mysterious nature was even apparent when he was alive and well. Carmen pointed out, "He was so mysterious, but one of the wittiest people I've ever met. He was simply one of a kind."
"As an artist and as a person Prince was so extraordinarily generous. It was very generous for him to give me chance to start a music career, and I'll always be grateful that he believed in me and took a chance on me," Carmen shared.
Once news broke of his death, many stars took to social media to express their sadness over the "Purple Rain" singer. Carmen elaborated, "We're all devastated, and it didn't seem like it was his right time to go. It's hard for everyone, from the people who knew him well to the people that never even met him, because he touched everyone's life in some kind of way with his beautiful spirit and his powerful music."
For more on Carmen, grab a copy of LaPalme's summer issue, out on newsstands June 1. She was styled on the shoot by Creative Director Derek Warburton.

It's kind of confusing really. You spend several years at school learning a subject, getting good marks and you expect to land a good job and start a rewarding career.
But more often than not, it doesn't happen that way.
And the problem is that school provides you with knowledge but doesn't spend enough time teaching how to leverage it in the real world.
It doesn't teach you how to compete for jobs in a crowd of people who can all claim they have mastered the same content with equal or better marks.
School does you a disservice by raising your expectations for success rather than equipping you will the tools and skills to start your journey.
And there is a good reason why the school doesn't deliver to you. They can't. They are replete with knowledge experts, not career experts. They don't have scholars who have achieved amazing results in organizations.
I have been fortunate to have learned some cool things that will help you not only get a job but propel yourself to a brilliant career.
If you take these 3 actions you will have an advantage over others in obtaining the job you want and the career you covet.
1. Shed the Crowd Behavior You Have Been Taught at School
School teaches you and everyone else in the job hunt the same things: facts, formulae, interpersonal communications, problem-solving methods – a pedagogy that is the accepted norm and practiced by all.
And that's exactly the problem when it comes to being successful. If you look like the other 100 job applicants why should the recruiting organization pick you? If there is nothing special about you, if you don't stand out in a way that is meaningful and relevant you will be ignored.
Standing out from everyone else is about determining how to be different; discovering an approach that no one else uses. For example, it could be a unique résumé or possessing an intimate knowledge of the recruiting organization – because you were prepared to put in the time to study them.
The point is to look for a twist or edge to what you do that will get the attention of others.
2. Start Building Your Network Well Before You Begin Your Job Search
Get connected early to people you believe will be able to help you. To a large extent job hunting and career development is a "community sport" requiring a synchronized effort to open up opportunities and present the candidate to an audience who is leaning their way.
Choose your connections wisely and methodically build relationships with them. Don't expect that every follower will be useful. Research their backgrounds and reach out to those who have a resume that resonates with your career choice.
Be patient and persevere because a successful connection requires time and energy to cultivate.
3. Search for a Mentor Who Has Done Stuff
Look for people with a rich background in achieving interesting and amazing things.
This is critical for the career "newbie".
You don't want a subject matter expert for guidance and advice, rather you want to rely on someone who has achieved something. Someone who has a reputation for turning the brave idea into a crude deed.
People who intellectualize a problem aren't that useful in a practical world characterized by uncertainty and unpredictability; on the other hand, individuals who have a successful track record of achieving success amidst chaos are the gems to covet.
Remember, what got you to graduation won't guarantee a winning career; you must learn new skills to make your academic pedigree work for you.
Learn and practice these 3 steps and watch your career take off.

A Greensborough woman whose birthday it is tomorrow has complained online about the introduction of multiple new laws always falling on her birthday. Danielle Lennon aired her complaint on Facebook yesterday, saying that the ban on single use plastic bags in supermarkets comes on the back of the smoking ban in 2007 and the introduction of GST in 2000.
Speaking to The Watsonia Bugle about what she referred to as a "gross injustice in calendar planning", Lennon also said, "It just doesn't seem fair. I mean, I can understand the GST one because it's the financial year and all that, but the other two are just opportunistic. Tomorrow will basically be the third birthday that's been marred by the introduction of a new law that is often unpopular with everyone. Coles are putting on extra staff tomorrow to deal with customer angst. Why does that cloud of anger and discontent have to sit over my birthday? Why not make it some other day?"
When we suggested that a change of date would just supposedly ruin someone else's birthday, and that at least two of her three examples were instances of positive change in society, Lennon was unrepentant. She said, "Share the love. I've copped three big ones in 18 years now, surely it's someone else's turn."

The 17th Judicial Circuit of Florida is warning Broward County residents of a possible juror scam, similar to one that it says has happened in other court circuits across the state.
It went like this: Someone who claimed to be a Broward sheriff's lieutenant told a resident that there was an outstanding warrant for his or her arrest, for failing to appear for jury duty. The caller said he could postpone the arrest if a payment was made that would later be refunded by a judge.
Chief Judge Peter Weinstein wants residents to know that the circuit court and law enforcement will not contact them by phone to collect money or Social Security numbers for failing to appear at jury duty.
The circuit court asks anyone who is solicited this way to hang up and call jury services at 954-831-6089.

"Death by chocolate" is the name of a dessert item at pretty much every restaurant with any self-respect, and tbh, it's always sounded like a pretty stellar way to go. Except it's not just an Applebee's dessert, guys. IT'S A HYPOTHETICAL REALITY.
Eating too much candy in one sitting–in one sitting, not even a slow but delicious decline brought on by high cholesterol or extreme diabetes–can actually kill you. And with Halloween a mere 4 days away, this has got us slightly concerned. Where is line between a food coma and a fatal sugar crash? 'Cause I'm really not tryna flatline on Snickers bars.
Fortunately, Tthe scientists at the Youtube channel Reactions (sponsored by the American Chemical Society, so you know it's legit) has done the math to figure out just how much sugar the average body can take before it goes out.
Unfortunately, the numbers are lower than I would've thought–I was expecting laughably astronomical amounts. I mean, I'm not saying I could definitely eat 1200 pieces of candy corn in one sitting. But I'm also not saying I definitely couldn't.nd as much of the science flies right over my English major head, I'm going to take their word for it. These are, however, just the calculations for the average-sized Americans, so different bodies wil have different limits. For figuring out your personal candy death-stroke, they've provided a handy little equation.
Check it out:
You heard 'em. Know your limits. You don't want to be the asshole strapped to a gurney because he way over-indulged on Almond Joys–especially because Almond Joys are disgusting.
Be safe out there, guys.
