Customs is an authority or agency in a country responsible for collecting and safeguarding customs duties and for controlling the flow of goods including animals, transports, personal effects and hazardous items in and out of a country.[1]
Depending on local legislation and regulations, the import or export of some goods may be restricted or forbidden, and the customs agency enforces these rules.[2] The customs authority may be different from the immigration authority, which monitors persons who leave or enter the country, checking for appropriate documentation, apprehending people wanted by international arrest warrants, and impeding the entry of others deemed dangerous to the country.
In most countries customs are attained through government agreements and international laws. A customs duty is a tariff or tax on the importation (usually) or exportation (unusually) of goods. In the Kingdom of England, customs duties were typically part of the customary revenue of the king, and therefore did not need parliamentary consent to be levied, unlike excise duty, land tax, or other forms of taxes.
Commercial goods not yet cleared through customs are held in a customs area, often called a bonded store, until processed. All authorised ports are recognised customs area.
Red and Green channels[edit]
Customs procedures for arriving passengers at many international airports, and some road crossings, are separated into Red and Green Channels.[3][4] Passengers with goods to declare (carrying items above the permitted customs limits and/or carrying prohibited items) should go through the Red Channel.
Passengers with nothing to declare (carrying goods within the customs limits only and not carrying prohibited items) can go through the Green Channel. Passengers going through the Green Channel are only subject to spot checks and save time. But, if a passenger going through the Green Channel is found to have goods above the customs limits on them or carrying prohibited items, they may be prosecuted for making a false declaration to customs, by virtue of having gone through the Green Channel.
Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States do not officially operate a red and green channel system; however, some airports copy this layout.
Airports within the European Union (EU) also have a Blue Channel. As the EU is a customs union, travellers between EU countries do not have to pay customs duties. VAT and Excise duties may be applicable if the goods are subsequently sold, but these are collected when the goods are sold, not at the border. Passengers arriving from other EU countries should go through the Blue Channel, where they may still be subject to checks for prohibited or restricted goods. In addition, limitations exist on various tobacco and alcohol products being imported from other EU member states and use of the Blue Channel if those limitations are being exceeded would be inappropriate. Luggage tickets for checked in luggage within the EU are green-edged so they may be identified.[5][6] UK policy is that entry into a particular Channel constitutes a legal declaration.
Privatization of customs[edit]
Customs is an important part of the government involved in one of the three basic functions of a government, namely, administration, maintenance of law, order and justice and collection of revenue. However, in a bid to mitigate corruption, many countries have partly privatised their Customs. This has occurred by way of engagement of Pre-shipment Inspection Agencies who examine the cargo and verify the declared value before importation is effected and the nation Customs is obliged to accept the report of the agency for the purpose of assessment of leviable duties and taxes at the port of entry.
While engaging a preshipment inspection agency may appear justified in a country with an inexperienced or inadequate Customs establishment, the measure has not really been able to plug the loophole and protect revenue. It has been found that evasion of Customs duty escalated when pre-shipment agencies took over.[7] It has also been alleged that such involvement of such agencies has been causing delays in the shipment process.[2] Privatization of Customs has been viewed as a fatal remedy.[7]
Summary of basic custom rules[edit]
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2013) |
European Union[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2013) |
The basic customs law is harmonized across Europe. This includes customs duties and restrictions. Customs tax from 150 €. In addition, see regulations of each Member State.
Up to €22 there are no taxes (it is free). From €22 up to €150, it is necessary to pay VAT (EUSt in Germany) which is 7 or 19%, depending on the goods. From €150 it is necessary to pay VAT and customs.
Customs may be very strict, especially for shipped goods (from anywhere outside the EU). Up to €10 goods/package
Czech Republic and Slovakia[edit]
Up to €22 there are no taxes (it is free). From €22 up to €150, it is necessary to pay VAT (DPH in Czech/Slovak) which is 21%. From €150 it is necessary to pay VAT and customs. Customs may be from 0 to 10%, the amount depending on the type of imported goods.
North America[edit]
The United States imposes tariffs or "customs duties" on imports of goods.: 3% on average.[8] The duty is levied at the time of import and is paid by the importer of record. Individuals arriving in the United States may be exempt from duty on a limited amount of purchases, and on goods temporarily imported (such as laptop computers) under the ATA Carnet system. Customs duties vary by country of origin and product, with duties ranging from zero to 81% of the value of the goods. Goods from many countries are exempt from duty under various trade agreements. Certain types of goods are exempt from duty regardless of source. Customs rules differ from other import restrictions. Failure to properly comply with customs rules can result in seizure of goods and civil and criminal penalties against involved parties. United States Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") enforces customs rules. All goods entering the United States are subject to inspection by CBP prior to legal entry.

Nobody complained about SS2's health bar, and as far as realism goes er...your fighting mutants in an underwater city, it's not a particularily realistic setting in the first place.
Has it crossed anyone's mind that perhaps in Bioshock, a game based on PLASMID POWERS, that perhaps the health bar above enemies is a PLASMID POWER, and not just a free feature that shows up without any explanation whatsoever?
Everything that we've heard so far tells us that there will be an story/explanation behind every feature in the game. This feature is most likely optional, not mandatory.
I took a pic of the box that pops up when he is hacking the turret (around 1:45-1:50)and it does show that he has a plasmid activated but he also has lots of credits so he might just be overrideing it.
I would like to add to the HATE chorus! *siiiiiiiiiing*
I don't need some big arsed bar to tell me when they're gonna die. They'll die when I pump enough lead into them, that's when they'll die!
Let me be stressed. Let me worry. Let there be some mystery.
(Actually, on the boards for GTA IV I am a strong proponent of hyper-realism and I hope R* takes a very realistic approach for the new one. Because of this I have been espousing a desire for NO HUD AT ALL. Want to know how many bullets you have? Check the clip. Want to know how much money you have? Check your wallet. Want to know where you are? Look at a cell phone GPS or a map. Street name? Check a street sign. How much health do you have? Well, are you bleeding? How about stumbling around? I'd say it's time to go to a hospital.
Having said that, I don't have the same hyper-realistic expectations for Bioshock though. I mean, come on. So I'm basically happy with the HUD elements so far. What I do expect is pure, unadulterated fun! Well that, and no enemy health bars. Grrrr!)
Note: In addition to agreeing with the above long-winded dude about HATE for the bars, I also am long-winded and apologize to all! Luckily I'm a speed reader/typer.
p.s. that video was awesome.
Righhht so I suppose if your in a firefight and want to know how many bullets you've got left, he's gonna have to take all the bullets out, count them and put them back in the clip.
Not gonna happen, the last game that did something like that was tresspasser, "clip feels about half-full" (shudders) that is the last experience I want to repeat.
I noticed a couple of things about the video. I thought it was confirmed that when an enemy is killed by being shattered once they are frozen, you can't loot their bodies and get the goodies from them but in the video it cleary shows the goodies falling not to far from the splicer once you shatter him.
and when the guy set oil pools on fire, didn't it look really jolty to you?
Also, I thought the ice plasmid was called Winter Blast? The video had it as Cryo Shards.
And the Little Sisters voice has gone back to that scratchy voice she had in the 14 minute video.
You ever been in a firefight? (No, I haven't either.) But I assume that unless you are counting in your head, you don't know how many bullets you have left.
And if you are hiding behind a car or something, sure, you could check - but I wouldn't recommend it. I'd just keep firing till you hear *click* and hope it isn't at a bad time.
Other notes on the video:
Health bar freezes over - cute!
Particle effects when the box was shot with machine gun - cool.
I have no doubt you would lose count of your bullets, all I'm saying is that doesn't make for a fun game, I love immersion just as much you seem too. I just don't think it would be a good idea for this game. However having re-read your post it seems you were arguing that GTA IV should be more realistic and not Bioshock, so I must apologise for taking this out of hand.
I personally don't mind the health bar but regret that they didn't make a little less overt.
Actually, yeah, I'm agreeing with people here, I do hope you can turn the health bar off, I like it, I just won't like it all the time.
Good eyeballs!
I didn't see stuff actually fall out, but it did look like it was giving him a button option to get something? Yeah, I thought stuff was destroyed too. I'll check that part again.
#2. Yes, it seemed like he set the pool on fire and then BOOM there was a burning splicer on the opposite end already dead; you didn't even see him walk into it. I just assumed it was an editing glitch or something.
#3. I love the name 'Cryo Shards' way better than Winter Blast. However, the Bioshock website and cultofrapture downloads are both recently using the name Winter Blast.)
#3. It sounded like the original little sister to me! I'm glad to know she's still in it. Perhaps there are different voices.
hey, didnt someone on these forums say they liked cryoshards? i think someone here made it up and the devs saw it.
I think LordLeckie made it up.
Hm... now I'm almost certain that the health bar will be optional, just as the arrow is, think way back (actually not that far back at all :P) to the 17 minute video. The designer (I think) played through a section in a garden, and there was no health bar (but there was an arrow, which wasn't on the new video) over the people, from this and the new video, I think it will be completely optional.
yea, i remember somebody came up with the name cryoshards not too long ago. people were mad at the name "Winter Blast," and somebody was like well let's make a compromise and suggested "Winter Shards" and then somebody said they liked "Cryo Blast," and then somebody said "how about Cryo Shards." -and look what the new name is eh? haha.
i thought she said "I'm a good girl now"
are you guys talking about 3 ways to clear a room? it's a cool vid if I ever saw one
but the splashing mud was kinda sub par (halo 1 level graphics o.O)
but you can't ever rely on just these dumb internet video players
ok, maybe not that bad, but upon watching it again, the freezing plasmid effect on your hand looks really nice!
also, some of the first person animations (very beggining) with the pistol look a little tincey wincey bit choppy, but not that big of a deal
but yeah, very exciting video
Haven't watched the video yet (15 minutes to go), but I will say this about the HUD issue; I like Tomb Raider's. It's clean, simple, and only appears when you're in combat, or use a medkit.
I think Bx would do well going down the same route. Ammo, health, and eve only appear when you're using them (or taking damage). Perhaps you could also have the crosshair only come on when you shoot.
As for enemy health bars, I can both side of the issue, and personally it doesn't really bother me either way. What I think would be a good answer is giving players the choice, but giving it to them in-game with a Combat Awareness tonic.
I think Cryo Shards used to be the name, and now it's Winter Blast. Remember that this video could have been recorded months ago, and some things may have still changed since then.
Absolutely, I agree. When I heard it, I thought to myself . . . damn, it's really going to be hard to exploit the little sisters if they keep saying stuff like that. You're really going to feel like a monster if you hurt them.
Which is why, it sure would be LOST-worthy trickerynessness if ol Ken Levine got us caring for them and protecting them and at the end the now 'fixed' girls reign down hell upon you in vent-land and make chum out of your sympathetic hide.
To this day I shudder at the very mention of her name, but ken's friend Ayn Rand was the absolute QUEEN of justifying selfishness for libertarians, free marketeers, and conservative corporate a-holes everywhere don't-cha-know?
Hope it goes on XBL marketplace!
When I came to these forums, my interest in Bioshock was mostly in exploring the atmospheric old-timey/underwater setting. But with each new video this game looks more and more like it'll be a blast to play!
That'll probably sum up my tour through Bioshock - come into a room with guns blazing and get owned, but notice something that I can use on a stealthier second try. I love the fact that you can reset traps. You turn the Little Sisters into what they once were? What do you do, on the spot GI replacement? Hit her with a "Fix Little Sister" plasmid? Use her stock of Adam to fix her instead of keeping it yourself? I don't think I can bring myself to waste the Little Sisters; I had a hard enough time playing the Alien campaign on AVPII.
I don't like splicer's melee skills... they kinda suck. Well at least by looking at all the videos it seems that you can always dodge their melee attacks... I hope they are not so easy to dodge, cause it almost seems funny the way they jump at you trying to hit you so slowly, and the player just moves a little and the splicer misses... Anyway I suppose playing the game will be a whole different story.
but yeah, like someone already stated
this video is probably several months old
when [game disign] teams work on their games, they'll make the video ahead of time, so when they are at a stage that they think they can revial the information in said video, it will already be done and they won't have to waste more time and resources then, and they also keep you guessing!

The thing that bothers me is that the playing and singing is so great, why not have a great sounding recording to go with it? Everytime I listen to it I will think about how great it could have sounded.
I realize this is what they signed off on and wanted, and I'm a big CT fan, so I'm kind of confused. He has always had full-fidelity on his recordings, and that's one fo the reasons I enjoy them so much. Sorry if my dissapointment dissapoints you.
Another album that dissapointed me like this was the final Cadillac Sky album. After 2 great recordings someone decided to go vintage style recording on their 3rd (and ultimatly final) album. It sounds like I got ear muffs on.

Rowling hits at lone-parent stigma (From Hampshire Chronicle)

Rowling hits at lone-parent stigma
10:03am Thursday 19th September 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has said her self-esteem was eroded by the stigma of being a single mother and she has hit out at the dim view society takes of lone parents.
The writer, who has become one of the wealthiest women in the UK on the back of her books, said she is prouder of the way she coped as a single parent than of any other part of her life.
Rowling, president of single-parent charity Gingerbread, called on the Government to do more to help people who find themselves in that situation to be able to get into employment.
She famously began working on her Potter books after splitting from the father of her daughter Jessica, writing with the youngster at her side. As she could not afford childcare, she took a low-paid filing job at a local church in Edinburgh, where she had settled, which allowed her to take her daughter along.
Writing for the charity, Rowling said: "My overriding memory of that time is the slowly evaporating sense of self-esteem, not because I was filing or typing - there was dignity in earning money, however I was doing it - but because it was slowly dawning on me that I was now defined, in the eyes of many, by something I had never chosen.
"I was a Single Parent, and a Single Parent On Benefits to boot. Patronage was almost as hard to bear as stigmatisation. I remember the woman who visited the church one day when I was working there who kept referring to me, in my hearing, as The Unmarried Mother. I was half annoyed, half amused."
Rowling said the stigma around single parents - including a view that they do not want to work - needs to be "challenged". "I find the language of 'skivers versus strivers' particularly offensive when it comes to single parents, who are already working around the clock to care for their children. Such rhetoric drains confidence and self-esteem from those who desperately want, as I did, to get back into the job market."
She said the Government should look at further ways of helping people into the workplace and out of poverty: "Nothing outlandish: affordable childcare, decent training, employers embracing flexible hours, and a long, hard look at low pay."
And she reassured others who have found themselves in the position in which she formerly found herself.
"I would say to any single parent currently feeling the weight of stereotype or stigmatisation that I am prouder of my years as a single mother than of any other part of my life. Yes, I got off benefits and wrote the first four Harry Potter books as a single mother, but nothing makes me prouder than what Jessica told me recently about the first five years of her life: 'I never knew we were poor. I just remember being happy'," Rowling said in a message on the Gingerbread website.

Who says that humor and cosmetology can't mix? Monique Madrid, who is both a comedienne and a cosmetologist, proves that cutting hair can be quite humorous, especially in her show, "Monica Barcelona: Bitch, I'll Cut You." This multitalented hairstylist doesn't just style hair and make jokes about it either. Monique is also a freelance writer, does makeup, acts, teaches and does voiceover.
Monique is living a double-life. As a cosmetologist, she does hair and makeup for weddings, album covers, photo shoots and tons of other exciting events. In her comedy show, Monique acts as Monica Barcelona, her hilarious alter ego. During this show, she invites two audience members on the stage. One of the members of the audience gets a free haircut on stage and the other receives a free makeover. Her fun loving personality and skill with scissors has caught the attention of many websites. In fact, Time Out Chicago, a website dedicated to reviews and information regarding different entertainment, attractions and accommodations in Chicago, proclaimed that her show was a critic's picks.
Her show was part of the Chicago Women's Funny Festival, which is festival comprised of female comediennes. As she improvs a day at the salon with real audience members, you will laugh hysterically. The website "Causing a Scene" declares that watching "Bitch, I'll Cut You" is like watching a reality talk show. Monique is sassy and inspirational. Causing a Scene also states that the concept of her show is captivating.
Madrid has not let the success of her show go to her head. She still styles hair professionally at reasonable rates and takes on jobs of all sizes. However, she did say that being accepted as part of the Chicago Women's Funny Festival was really, really exciting. She only started stand-up about a year before she started this show. She started doing it as a challenge to herself. She feels that doing stand-up leaves you more vulnerable, while doing improv allows you to have a supportive team behind you.
Her clients are excited for her. Because she still works as a professional hairstylist, she does not want to offend anyone, so she steers away from using personal stories that clients have shared with her. As for fellow stylists, she is not sure how they are going to react. She also notes that she does not know a lot of stylists who are also comedians, so it will be interesting to see how everyone responds. She states that she does not know if this show will one day include another stylist or not.
The goal of Monique's show is just to make people laugh while she gets to do something else she loves on stage — hair and makeup.

Westfield State Community Ponders Their President's Performance as Board Prepares to Meet
The board of Westfield State University meets Wednesday to consider the fate of school president Evan Dobelle. Massachusetts officials are pressuring the board to punish Dobelle over lavish spending on travel using university credit cards.
PROFS TO WEIGH IN: Westfield State faculty to announce results from 'no confidence' vote
DOBELLE FIGHTS BACK: Defiant response after governor tells Dobelle to get serious
TO THE COURTS: Westfield State prez threatens Lawsuit if board suspends him
BACKSTORY: Boston Globe's Scott Allen on how the Dobelle saga got to this point
Earlier this month, the state suspended some grant money for the school. Business major Ryan Moquin doesn't see the wisdom in that.
"Yeah, that's unfortunate. I feel like the school needs [the money]," Moquin says. "But...that's just hurting the students, not really him."
Moquin says he feels like Dobelle is doing some good things at the school. But other students, like Erica Santana, say they have nothing good to say about Dobelle.
"I think he should get fired. Actually, we're trying to get some of the students together," Santana says. "When they have their meeting, we're going to stand outside and, you know, hopefully they listen to us."
Westfield's faculty and librarians also hope to have a say in the matter. Their union's president says members are voting on whether they have confidence in Dobelle. Those results will be announced at the board meeting Wednesday.
Dobelle has acknowledged he made mistakes. But he says he paid back some of the money and says his travel benefited the university. His spokesperson accuses the state higher ed commissioner of trying to "blackmail" the university's board by cutting off some funding.

Hi all,
I have found this forum, after "Goddessoflubbock" gave me this reply on twitter:
"I've never read an article before that said so little in so many words. It is like my doc, ideas without implementation."
After this I had to see what she was doing
Beside that, I have a big interest in Diabetes Type 2 and how to reverse it without use of prescription medicine.

In a country where so many are medicated I'm surprised the box office wasn't through the roof. Maybe it was too true?
Amazing movie! Must see!
I'm really hard to please when it comes to movies. But I absolutely loved this movie. The plot kept me interested. Bradley Cooper is a great actor. Props.
Great film
Loved this movie. The caste alone makes it worth seeing.
Critic Reviews powered by Metacritic ™
Total Film
Russell follows "The Fighter" with a softer, soapier family dysfunction drama, lightly comic enough to make for palatable Friday-night viewing. As its nutty lovebirds, Cooper and Lawrence save Playbook from the director's surprisingly mundane impulses. Full Review
Ann Hornaday
Washington Post
Thankfully, this fractured fairy tale of mental illness, family drama, ragged romance and die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fandom has landed in the superbly capable hands of David O. Russell. Full Review
Claudia Puig
USA Today
Silver Linings is consistently entertaining, with its scrappy, well-drawn characters, offbeat humor and indefatigable positive outlook. Full Review
Eric Kohn
Incredibly heartfelt to a large degree because of its cast. Full Review
James Berardinelli
Ultimately, this is an engaging, uplifting, and life-affirming motion picture that reminds viewers that it is possible to do interesting things with a romantic comedy while still sticking to some of the conventions. Full Review

Wow this guy is clueless. The very statement "The nicest thing you can say to somebody, no matter who it is, is to get a job. When you're walking down the street and a man is panhandling and you say, 'Get a job,' you're complimenting him. You're saying, 'You have the will and the means to get a job", tells most of us this guy does not have the will to put himself in others shoes.
How does he know that homeless guy is capable of getting a job. Maybe that guy is like the homeless guy my company hired who was trying to overcome an anxiety disorder and could not attend meetings and would miss work every other day. Maybe the homeless guy is a vet who fought in one of our many wars and now suffers from a mental disorder making it impossible for him to work.
Reagan not hip you say? Reagan was an actor and very popular. You don't think Reagan was voted in because of his "coolness".
It is an outright joke to claim your a modern day Republican and yet you still look to Reagan as the father of your party. The guy gave 3.1 million illegals amnesty, and how many relatives of those 3.1 million people have been coming here ever since? Dang they now have people here that can petition for them to get here legally.
Reagan was a target for those kind of people, "Gutfeld said, and when he talked about low taxes and free markets he was described by the media as "mean, as cold and as evil.""
No they didn't. The media embraced Reagan and his ideas. But again, let's stop burying history. Reagan raised taxes 12 times, because his lower taxes and high spending on a nuclear arms race caused major debt.
Gutfeld said his latest book was born from the Reagan era. He said the book describes people "who pretend to be tolerant when in fact they're not at all. They use tolerance as a weapon to shut you up.
This is a common theme with Republicans. The fact is that liberals are intolerant of bigots, racists and homophobes. And there are plenty of those in the Republican Party.
There are plenty on BOTH sides, get a clue!
ANY person (typical leftist) who would tell their audience to WORSHIP a President (ie: J Fox, typical (name calling removed), racist, Lefty, super rich, actor), is basically sealing their own deal. Watch where they turn out when their lights go out....
The ONLY way this country will ever prosper, will be when BOTH SIDES learn to get along.
Both sides not wanting to bend, good old H REID, stating before the negotiations, that S.S. reform is OFF The Table, NOT passing or even VOTING on a budget in 3+ years, BOY, that is real leadership.
Worse than this country going down the toilet, is California, soon to go totally down the toilet.
Raising taxes will NOT fix this mess, it is SPENDING. Unless someone out there knows how I can go purchase 10 cars and 20 tv's, because spending more will make me prospserous.
How is it, ALL OF US have to be subject to OSAMAcare, and unions get a free pass?
And all legislators dont have to be subject to their own H.C. plan either?

Hey guys, I removed my original question since today I had a chance to try some wetsuits.
So, please ignore the answers below, and just reply to this question.
I tried the XCEL drylock 4/3 size LT and it fit well in length and comfort. There was a little bulge under the armpit. Would that be ok?
I tried the smaller size, the MT, and although length was very good in arms and legs, i felt some tension when lifting the arms or putting my chest out. I am not sure if in the water or after wearing a couple of times, it will give in, and stretch a little. What do you think?
I also tried the Rip Curl F-BOMB 4/3 in LT. Length was very good and felt snug, yet comfortable overall, except when lifting the arms. There is some tension when I lift the arms. I tried the other size, XLT and was way too big.
Is it normal that there is some tension when lifting the arm, and it will stretch once it goes in the water or I wear it a couple of times?


text: 06 February 2008 archive Tweet See all show photos CITING the Dutch World War I courtesan-turned-spy Mata Hari as her inspiration, Alice Temperley left behind the seaside of spring and the Russian exiles of last fall to explore an edgier brand of femininity - one suffused, like the Mata Hari herself, with exotic glamour coupled with a sexy, rock and roll vibe that kept things from feeling dated or literal. Temperley's ill-fated heroine could be found in the many flounced and ruffled dresses and gowns (clearly designed for seduction in shades of persimmon, teal and muddy yellow, edged in lace that concealed as much as it revealed), while things took a tougher turn with buttoned-up military jackets, braided-trim minis, sexy black leather leggings and a corseted leather pencil skirt that just might get one arrested for looking too hot. But Temperley didn't totally abandon the pretty knits and prints for which she's known, she just sexed those up, too, with graphic stripes (some curved around the contours of the body, others dangerously jagged) - and her delicate lacy knit dresses revealed the black underpinnings (and gartered stockings) beneath, hinting at the idea that, as with the Mata Hari, what you see isn't always what you get.

KILLER PAINKILLERS: As the prevalence of prescription painkillers increases, the number of people hospitalized for overdosing on them appears to, too. High-profile celebrity deaths are just a few instances of this growing problem, say authors of a new study.
Image: ISTOCKPHOTO/ZUZLIK
The number of deaths and hospitalizations caused by prescription drugs has risen precipitously in the past decade, with overdoses of pain medications, in particular opioids, sedatives and tranquilizers, more than doubling between 1999 and 2006, according to a new study.
In fact, by 2006, overdoses of opioid analgesics alone (a class of pain relievers that includes morphine and methadone) were already causing more deaths than overdoses of cocaine and heroin combined.
"Teens and others have different attitudes in using these drugs," often presuming the prescription substances are safer and less addictive than illegal drugs such as cocaine or heroin, says Jeffrey Coben, a professor of emergency and community medicine at the West Virginia University School of Medicine in Morgantown and lead author of the new study. "I think that's a false assumption. Aside from the fact they can be taken orally rather than injected…[many prescription drugs] really are every bit as powerful, addictive and dangerous as heroin," he notes, adding that, "when you combine them with other sedatives, that mix can become particularly lethal."
Using data collected by the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, which gathers hospital patient information for about 8 million people every year, Coben and his colleagues were able to assess what drugs were implicated in the majority of poisonings—and in many cases whether the poisonings were intentional or not. The team selected opioids, sedatives and tranquilizers as the focus of the analysis because these substances are "contributing the majority of prescription drug overdose deaths," Coben says. These categories of prescription drugs can kill and injure people by suppressing breathing, depriving the body of oxygen.
For prescription opioids, sedatives and tranquilizers—commonly prescribed for pain management—the number of hospitalizations for poisonings increased 65 percent between 1999 and 2006 (the first and last years, respectively, for which data were comparable and collected). The number of hospitalizations for all poisonings, including illegal drugs, other prescription medications and miscellaneous substances, increased during this time period as well, but that jump (33 percent) was about half the rate of those for the prescription pain drugs.
Unintentional poisonings from these drugs climbed 37 percent during the seven-year period, the researchers found. Intentional overdoses, in which people meant to inflict self-harm or death, jumped 130 percent (a far cry more than the 53 percent increase of intentional poisoning from other substances in the same time period). Intent was not listed in all cases and can be subject to reporting error. The results are detailed online April 6 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
No accident
Poisonings, from prescription drugs and other substances, are classified in medical records as injurious or accidental deaths. But regardless of whether the incidents are listed as unintentional or intentional, they are rarely true mistakes, noted Leonard Paulozzi, a medical epidemiologist with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in congressional testimony in 2007. "Most unintentional drug poisoning deaths are not 'accidents' caused by toddlers or the elderly taking too much medication," he noted. "These deaths are largely due to the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs."
Accidents overall were the fifth most common cause of death in the U.S. as of 2005 (accounting for 117,809 deaths—4.8 percent—that year), according to the National Vital Statistics Report [pdf]. Of injury deaths, poisoning is the second most common cause of death in the U.S., having doubled between 1985 and 2004, according to a 2007 Department of Health and Human Services analysis [pdf]. Among people 35 to 54 years old, poisoning is the most common accidental death—even more so than auto-related deaths.
Many experts think that the sheer prevalence of many of these drugs recently has contributed to the drastic increase in poisonings. Although growing illegal markets and distribution of these drugs might be a driving factor in their increasingly large role in poisonings and deaths, perfectly legal prescriptions are probably playing a role as well, Coben says.
"I think the whole issue of the availability of these drugs and whether they're being over-prescribed" should be investigated, says Susan Baker, a professor at Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy, who was not involved in the new study but coauthored a 2009 report in the same journal about recent trends in injury mortality.

I have been working with relatively large companies as a contractor. In that setup, I didn't really concern about "contract" since they provided with all necessary contract forms and I just needed to sign and return them.
Recently, I started working with small businesses and I found many of small businesses do not have a good process to handle contractors. So I think I may need contract forms before working with them to prevent from getting unnecessary lawsuits or something similar. I tried to find any online resource to build such forms but couldn't do that. May I have to talk to a lawyer for this? Any tip or point to such materials would be appreciated.

Are you able to download apps from the computer? But unable to from your device? If unable to download from within the device, check your settings. Settings>Store. Log into your acct on your device and see whether you have "Use Cellular Data" turned off or on. I don't know if this is issue but worth a look. I keep "Use Cellular Data" turned off because my area has barely any reception.
