TidyTilt's soft-touch folding panel lives on the back of your phone, and when you're ready to pack up your music, simply wrap the earbud cords over your device, snap TidyTilt closed, and pop them right off. The panel's detachable, so you can keep it on or off the phone. But that's just the beginning. You can also fold the panel up to use it as a stand for comfy viewing. Plus, thanks to this accessory's strategically-placed magnets, mounting your Apple mobile on fridges, dry-erase boards and other magnetically-responsive surfaces is a cinch.
Only for iPhone 4/4S. TidyTilt is a two part system: 0.7 mm-thin stainless steel frame sticks to the back of your iPhone with an advanced removable adhesive; 2 mm-thin polyurethane folding panel self aligns to the frame with embedded magnets. Because iPhones use flash memory, there's no risk of the magnets erasing your data; may affect your compass, which returns to normal when TidyTilt is removed; does not interfere with iPhone's signal. Ultra thin frame helps reduce scratching. Features hole for camera and flash.

Advice to BP: Forget Your Brand Image and Concentrate on Your Brand's Soul
The articles and blogs are flying in my world about what BP needs to do to fix their image in the shadow of this catastrophic disaster in the Gulf. Marketers and social media specialists are all gladly suggesting how to fix the Big Problem. But frankly, I'm not really concerned with BP's brand image right now. I'm more concerned with their brand soul.
We all remember the Exxon Valdez accident, and the damage it caused, not only to the Alaskan shoreline but also to the brand for many years. And it's clear now that Exxon had built such a strong, emotive brand among consumers at the time that the brand's goodwill helped save the company from total collapse in the end.
So what's going to happen with BP with what may be the worst man-made disaster in history? Does their brand have what it takes to overcome such a devastating blow? Here's what BP says about their brand on their Web site:
"Since BP petrol first went on sale in Britain in the 1920s, the brand has grown to become recognized worldwide for quality gasoline, transport fuels, chemicals and alternative sources of energy such as wind, solar and biofuels. We help the world meet its growing need for heat, light and mobility, and strive to do so by producing energy that is affordable, secure and doesn't damage the environment.
"BP is progressive, responsible, innovative and performance driven. Our logo – the Helios - symbolizes these values. Named after the Greek sun god, the Helios represents energy in its many forms. Of all the forms of energy that make up BP and its services, perhaps the most vital is the human energy our people bring to everything we do. This is what fuels our brand."
BP Group Chief Executive Tony Hayward discusses the oil spill cleanup operation with a U.S. Coast Guard officer
So good ol' Helios "symbolizes" all these great values that BP lives every day? Right. BP has had three of the largest and deadliest oil-related accidents in the last five years. My concern is not the beautifully-designed brand identity or the implementation that still takes the breath away of any designer worth their salt. My concern is that the company is not and may never have been living the brand, but rather just pretending to.
Few brands have been so consistent in their approach to creating a beautifully sustainable brand. They completely dropped British Petroleum for a more suave "beyond petroleum" moniker, and incorporated beautiful iconography of their new clean initiatives that reflected the brilliance of the green and yellow Helios. They even used lower case initials to soften their message to consumers. They started a blog called the Green Curve. They built a fancy, eco-friendly "gas station of the future" in L.A. Yeah, we bought it. Hook, line, and sinker.
Yet BP forgot a very basic principle of brand repositioning, building and marketing: Deliver on the promise of the brand. You can create anything, but it's only when a company embraces the pillars, the tenets of the brand, that this becomes reality. Pretty logos mean nothing if your actions don't back up what you say. As Gardiner Morse pointed out earlier this week for the Harvard Business Review, BP forgot to "walk the talk".
We're just now learning that BP may be one of the worst violators of environmental standards, as porous as they may be. The problem is, it's not about brand. Not about image. That would be easy to fix. People have died. Local economies are in danger of collapsing. And the environment could be permanently damaged.
I was wrong about BP, having cited them to be on the good side of the greenwashing debate among brands. I now agree that they've earned the "Emerald Paintbrush," bestowed upon them by Greenpeace, for blatant greenwashing. So here's my only brand advice for BP: Change your "beyond petroleum" tag to "better pray" while you still have a brand soul.

i waited a while to leave a review . here are my thoughts for $100 bucks this wall mounted vac is good and takes up less space then your traditional shop vac . i can tell you that this is better then the kobalt wall mounted vac that is sold at ***** for the same price. i belive this vac is made by VacMasters http://www.vacmaster.com/product.cfm?p=16 they look very identical. just hope sears dont discontinue the accesories. Overall it does everything i need it to do
note to all users do not leave the power on button on wireless it will get hot if not in use put it in the middle off position.

It works well when cleaning my cars or the garage. I like the remote control on the end of the hose and the multiple accessories.

I really like how little space this takes up when mounted on the wall. The suction is great for the size of the vacuum. The remote on/off feature is nice for cleaning the car or when you're on the other side of the garage.

I had been looking for a dust collection system for my woodworking shop rather than using my shop vac which always seemed to get in the way. These units can run $200-300 for small ones and then you have to buy hoses, conversion parts and attachments which add another $50-100. Was concerned that having only 5 Gal capacity the suction would be limited. Boy was I wrong! It has more power than my 9 Gal Rigid. The reduction in vacuum due to the length of hose has not been an issue for me. Wall mount is great! Keeps unit out of the way and with 20 ft. of hose I can cover 90% of my work space. It has everything I wanted and more than expected.
Hazlehurst, GA

I love it! I would like to have at least a 30ft hose instead of 20ft!
Eagle, ID
Excellent quality and convenience and longer hose is great. The unit has turned on by itself once or twice due to remote switch activating but can lock that out until needed.
Strafford, NH

Easy to disconnect from the wall and stretches out a long way for cleaning things not close to the wall outlet.

The vac works great , good power , shlong hose , wall mount - accessories ALL GOOD , BUT , I have to walk within reach of the power button to shut it down with the remote ? It turns on well over the length of the hose . It also must received radio signals from something else , twice in a week it was running when I went out to the garage ?
Los Altos, CA
via sears.com
Good shop vac. Works as well as my old Sears shop vac but at a much smaller foot print. Someone mentioned that connecting the two hoses provided with the vacuum, deminished the suction a bit. This is true but I don't see a reason to connect the two. The long hose is plenty long and the short hose is good if you are removing the vacuum from the mount.

It feels like a smoosh to me as well. It's like it's trying to hit a lot of different notes at the same time, but the result is kind of unsatisfying or incomplete in some way.
I could see something like this conversation happening in regards to this name: "What's your name?" "Emerett." "Emmet?" "No, it's Emerett." "Everett?" "No...*sigh*"
Not that this is the worst thing in the world. Though it can get a little maddening--take it from a Tawny who's been called Tammy and Tanya possibly more times than I've been called by my actual name. And Tawny isn't even a smoosh!human children:

Robert J. Keyes of Enterprise Holdings Inc. named 2013 United Way Volunteer of the Year in Southeastern Pennsylvania
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey (UWGPSNJ) returned to North Philadelphia today to lend a hand to friends and neighbors in need and continue its partnership with the Kensington community during its annual Day of Caring Signature Site event.
United Way's Day of Caring Signature Site kicks off the 365 Days of Caring civic engagement initiative, a year-round effort to achieve impact through corporate volunteerism. Three hundred sixty-five days of the year, United Way mobilizes volunteers in local communities to donate time and talent to help transform lives and drive measurable, lasting impact that none of us can achieve alone.
"We are proud to continue our investment in Kensington today to help improve the neighborhood alongside the residents who call this community home," said Jill Michal, president and CEO of UWGPSNJ. "Volunteerism is at the heart of what it means to LIVE UNITED, so what better place to recognize our Volunteer of the Year than our annual Day of Caring?"
The community event kicked off with a brief program and awards presentation at Hissey Park. In the spirit of community and corporate volunteerism, Robert J. Keyes, vice president and general manager of Enterprise Holdings Inc. was honored with the prestigious 2013 United Way Volunteer of the Year Award in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Serving as an active board member, Tocqueville donor, and member of United Way's Southeastern Pennsylvania Campaign Cabinet, Keyes has been a strong advocate and spokesperson for United Way's mission since 2007. He has been instrumental in leading successful strategic, development and volunteer initiatives, such as launching the Greater Philadelphia Corporate Volunteer Council and engaging Enterprise as a sponsoring partner of United Way volunteer events.
Following the program, a total of 300 community members and corporate volunteers from event sponsors Independence Blue Cross, Vanguard, SAP, Deloitte LLC, Altria Group, the Dow Chemical Company, Enterprise Holdings Inc., Saint Joseph's University and US Airways planted bulbs and trees, cleaned park areas, sorted and packed school supplies and tools for local teachers, and participated in a community resource fair.
"It is vital for us to come together as a community to help address serious issues faced by this Kensington neighborhood, starting with cleaning up recreational areas to help create a better quality of life and a safe space for residents to enjoy," said Maria D. Quinones-Sanchez, councilwoman, 7th District. "We need to build off the momentum established today during United Way's Day of Caring and work to maintain these efforts on a year-round basis."

T. Rex: The other white meat?
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! The Smithsonian staff will be taking the day off tomorrow to gather with family and eat our preferred turkey variant (turkey, tofurkey, turducken, etc.).
So, with food on everyone's minds, now seemed as good a time as any to address the inevitable question: What did dinosaurs taste like?
And, yes, the inevitable answer: Chicken.
Well, possibly chicken. The best clue comes from two studies conducted in 2007-2008, by John Asara of Harvard Medical School and Mary Schweitzer of North Carolina State University (whose work on soft tissue in dinosaurs was described in Smithsonian magazine's "Dinosaur Shocker.") As the Washington Post reported:
"Protein retrieved from a 68 millon-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex bone closely resembles the main protein in chicken and ostrich bones and is only distantly related to lizards', strengthening the popular idea that birds, and not reptiles, are the closest living relatives of dinosaurs.
In the new analysis, the team compared the order of 89 amino acids from the T. rex sample to the equivalent collagen sequence from a chicken, an ostrich, an alligator and a green anole lizard, a reptile commonly used in laboratory research.
The results indicate that T. rex, chickens and ostriches are evolutionary siblings, all descended from a single unidentified predecessor. Alligator collagen is more distantly related, and lizard collagen is more distantly related still."
When the research team first released their findings in 2007, the New York Times wryly observed: "The scientists resisted being drawn into speculation on the likely taste of a T-rex drumstick."
But, by 2008, Asara felt sure enough of his latest study to note, "Based on this data, you can be very confident that T. rex would taste more like chicken than it did last year."
Our distant ancestors could have confirmed this theory—and, no, I'm not talking about cavemen like the fur bikini-clad Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C. I'm referring to a shrew-like mammal named Repenomamus robustus, which lived 130 million years ago. In 2005, scientists at the American Museum of Natural History in New York announced they had found a fossilized specimen, with a baby dinosaur still in its gullet. "This is the first direct evidence that mammals fed on dinosaurs," said Jin Meng, a paleontologist at the museum. "Now we can say that dinosaurs could be very tasty, which is good news."
Well, good news if you're not a dinosaur. In the meantime, the precise answer to the question of what dinosaurs tasted like will remain a mystery.
However, this much we know for certain: They weren't kosher.

"Should you, therefore, find a dinosaur steak listed on your menu you should refuse it on the grounds of kashrut and due to the age of the meat."
I would /assume/ the results would be the same, but did they carry this experiment out with just the T. Rex or are any other dinos potentially on the plate? Naturally the predators like T. Rex are already very bird-like (that they would even HAVE drumsticks is telling, you would assume that in a cartoon they would be cooked like chicken without any scientific basis), but what about sauropods and ceratopsians and that sort, who–based purely on their physical appearance and ecological niches–have more in common with beef? Wouldn't it be more interesting and surprising in an "oh I didn't think about that" way if it went against an already made assumption, such as confirming that a Flintstones' "Bronto-Burger" is less Big Mac and more Grilled Chicken?
This is important!
Hey, at least the uniformitarians/Darwinians know how to take a thoroughly scientific, observable, prima facie invalidation of their entire world-view with such good humor. Finger-lickin' and rearend-kickin' good indeed.
[...] The debate also owes its origins to the festive Purim tradition of mocking serious rabbinical studies. (See, for instance, the discussion of whether dinosaurs are kosher, mentioned at Smithsonian's Dinosaur Tracking blog.) [...]
[...] it now seems that this view is not exactly right. In very exceptional circumstances , remnants of dinosaur soft tissue can be preserved, and a recently published paper in the journal Science throws new support to this controversial [...]

I am interested in changing the way I think about food and am starting on a journey to read and discuss books that will provide information for thought. My focus is more on healthy living rather than on dieting. The first book, "What To Eat" by Marion Nestle is organized around the layout of most supermarkets. Looking for 6 Boomer Ladies who want to commit to purchasing the book and reading select content for discussion two times a month for five months at local restaurants. We will meet the 1st …

This is a unique support group dedicated to single dad's and gives them a safe place to talk about their challenges and victories and also to jam out a classic rock or country song or two. As dad's, we need to have man time and this is an ideal opportunity to establish a single dad's "man's timeout" once or twice a week. This group understands that being a single dad takes up a lot of time including the commute to work, being the mom and dad, school events and always making sure the kids have …

Americans inherit from our ancestors a glorious tradition of freedom and resistance to oppression. Our country has long been admired by the rest of the world for her great example of liberty and prosperity—a light shining in the darkness of tyranny. But many Americans today are frustrated. The political choices they are offered give them no real choice at all. For all their talk of "change," neither major political party as presently constituted challenges the status quo in any serious way. Neit …

Calling all neighbors/locals in their 20s/30s! It'd be nice to have a group to go to brunch, happy hours, movies, yoga classes, comedy shows, museums, and more with people that live in Van Ness, Tenleytown, and Cleveland Park. The events don't need to be limited to this area, but I'm hoping this will be a great way to always have a low key brunch buddy or someone to try new things with.

2013 will cost you more than 2012
Posted at: 01/02/2013 7:09 AM
Experts are expecting 2013 will cost you more than 2012.
Starting at the grocery store, meat, poultry and dairy prices are expected to go up around four-percent. Also, cereal and bakery goods will rise close to three-percent. This is because of droughts and bad wheat and corn crops.
Economists also predict college costs will rise steeply across the country and health care premiums will have you checking your bank account. Some experts say they could go up by six-percent.

Page Introduction
Page Body
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC –James) places the highest priority on ensuring the safety of patients participating in clinical trials. Every therapeutic interventional trial conducted at the OSUCCC –James must include a plan for safety and data monitoring.
The data and safety monitoring plan will involve the continuous evaluation of safety, data quality and data timeliness. Investigators will conduct continuous review of data and patient safety at their regular disease group meetings (at least monthly) and the discussion will be documented in the minutes.
The principal investigator (PI) of the trial will review toxicities and responses of the trial where applicable at these disease group meetings and determine if the risk/benefit ratio of the trial changes. Frequency and severity of adverse events will be reviewed by the PI and compared to what is known about the agent/device from other sources; including published literature, scientific meetings and discussions with the sponsors, to determine if the trial should be terminated before completion.
Serious adverse events and responses will also be reviewed by the OSUCCC –James Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC). The PI will also submit a progress report (biannually for Phase II and quarterly for Phase I) that will be reviewed by the committee per the DSMC plan. All reportable serious adverse events will also be reported to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of record as per the policies of the IRB.

Ireland - Donegal (Chapter)
This is the County Donegal chapter from Lonely Planet's Ireland guidebook.
County Donegal is the wild child of Ireland. The rugged interior with its gorgeous mountain passes and shimmering lakes is only marginally outdone by the long, labyrinthine coastline with its precipitous cliffs, windswept peninsulas and vast expanses of golden sand.

The release of a new bipartisan Senate plan to overhaul the nation's immigration laws and a policy address expected Tuesday from President Obama have launched dramatic new momentum on a long-stalled issue.
Now the hard part begins.
More from PostPolitics
The political lessons of the late president of South Africa.
After two days of silence, the White House acknowledges the president lived with his uncle Omar for a brief period in the 1980s.
The blueprint unveiled by senators Monday amid warm bipartisan unity settled some of the most difficult questions that have bedeviled efforts to change immigration laws, particularly by endorsing a path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants. But it left unanswered dozens of key questions, all of which must be meticulously negotiated in the coming weeks under competing political pressures. And nobody thinks that will be easy.
"We still have a long way to go," Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Monday, while calling the broad framework a major breakthrough.
"A first step in what will continue to be difficult — but achievable," said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
The politics for passage are quite treacherous, with a number of key Republicans already labeling this latest iteration of immigration proposals as amnesty for the nation's 11 million illegal residents. But even before the group of four Democrats and four Republicans can focus on the persistent GOP opposition, they must translate their broad statement of principles on the issue into a detailed bill that can withstand intense legislative scrutiny.
That means tackling a number of extremely difficult issues by the end of March, when the group has said it hopes to draft a bill. A bipartisan group is also working on legislation in the House, but most proponents believe legislative action will start in the Democratic-held Senate.
For instance, the Senate plan calls for offering illegal immigrants the chance to quickly achieve probationary legal residency, provided they register with the government and pay a fine and back taxes. But it does not outline how large a fine or how long the applicants would have to pay off their taxes.
"I think the question is, how broad will the road to citizenship be?" said Ai-Jen Poo, director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance. "We have to make sure that it's not so expensive and onerous that it doesn't leave millions of people in limbo for an extended period of time."
More critical to the coming debate is the senators' requirement that illegal immigrants could not seek a green card — the first step to full citizenship — until the U.S.-Mexican border is secure and other enforcement measures are in place. The measures include a system for employers to verify the legal status of workers and a new way to track legal visa holders.
But the framework is silent on how federal officials would certify that the border is secure. It envisions the creation of a commission of governors, attorneys general and others living along the border to "make a recommendation regarding when the bill's security measure outlined in the legislation are completed." But it is not clear whether that recommendation would be considered advisory or would by law allow those with probationary status to seek permanent residency.

Voices from the Moon
What it was like, in the astronauts' own words. Excerpts from a new book by Andrew Chaikin.
- By Andrew Chaikin with Victoria Kohl
- AirSpaceMag.com, May 20, 2009
The biggest philosophy, foundation-shaking impression was seeing the smallness of the Earth….Even the pictures don't do it justice, because they always have this frame around them. But when you …put your eyeball to the window of the spacecraft, you can see essentially half of the universe….That's a lot more black and a lot more universe than ever comes through a framed picture….It's not how small the Earth was, it's just how big everything else was….You look around and you say, "Shiiiit, there ain't anything else, anywhere." I mean, that is all there is, really, except for the sun, which you didn't look at. You look around, and you don't see any stars; you just see this dull black, and this [Earth] is the only thing there. Okay?
—Bill Anders, Apollo 8 lunar module pilot

Another excellent book on this is Rocket Men by Craig Nelson. What I found fascinating about this book was the way Nelson deftly wove together the Apollo story with ongoing global events. The likes of Werner Von Brown, Walt Disney, Khrushchev, the Cold War, all come together in such a way as to shed a new light on an often told story.

Report: Junior Seau had brain disease CTE
This story originally published on
Junior Seau
Barry Wilner
Associated Press
Posted Jan 10, 2013
Researchers find that former NFL linebacker Junior Seau suffered from effects of years of head trauma.
Junior Seau, one of the NFL's best and fiercest players for two decades, suffered from a degenerative brain disease often associated with repeated blows to the head when he committed suicide last May, the National Institutes of Health said in a study released Thursday.
The NIH, based in Bethesda, Md., said Seau's brain revealed abnormalities consistent with chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE. It said that the study included unidentified brains, one of which was Seau's, and that the findings on Seau were similar to autopsies of people ''with exposure to repetitive head injuries.''
Seau's family requested the analysis of his brain.
The 43-year-old star linebacker played for 20 NFL seasons with San Diego, Miami and New England before retiring in 2009. He died of a self-inflicted shotgun wound.
He joins a list of several dozen football players who were found to have CTE. Boston University's center for study of the disease reported last month that 34 former pro players and nine who played only college football suffered from CTE.
Take a look back
at the career
of the former All-Pro linebacker.
''I was not surprised after learning a little about CTE that he had it,'' Seau's 23-year-old son Tyler said. ''He did play so many years at that level. I was more just kind of angry I didn't do something more and have the awareness to help him more, and now it is too late.
''I don't think any of us were aware of the side effects that could be going on with head trauma until he passed away. We didn't know his behavior was from head trauma.''
That behavior, according to Tyler Seau and Junior's ex-wife Gina, included wild mood swings, irrationality, forgetfulness, insomnia and depression.
The NFL faces lawsuits by thousands of former players who say the league withheld information on the harmful effects of concussions. According to an AP review of 175 lawsuits, 3,818 players have sued. At least 26 Hall of Famer members are among the players who have done so.
Seau is not the first former NFL player who killed himself, then was found to have CTE. Dave Duerson and Ray Easterling are the others.
''He emotionally detached himself and would kind of `go away' for a little bit,'' Tyler Seau said. ''And then the depression and things like that. It started to progressively get worse.''
He hid it well in public, they said. But not when he was with family or close friends.
Dr. Russell Lonser, who oversaw the study, said Seau's brain was ''independently evaluated by multiple experts, in a blind fashion.''
''We had the opportunity to get multiple experts involved in a way they wouldn't be able to directly identify his tissue even if they knew he was one of the individuals studied,'' he said.
The NFLPA
makes a comment
on findings of study of Seau's brain.
The National Football League, in an email to the AP, said: ''We appreciate the Seau family's cooperation with the National Institutes of Health. The finding underscores the recognized need for additional research to accelerate a fuller understanding of CTE.
''The NFL, both directly and in partnership with the NIH, Centers for Disease Control and other leading organizations, is committed to supporting a wide range of independent medical and scientific research that will both address CTE and promote the long-term health and safety of athletes at all levels.''
NFL teams have given a $30 million research grant to the NIH.
Before shooting himself, Duerson, a former Chicago Bears defensive back, left a note asking that his brain be studied for signs of trauma. His family filed a wrongful-death suit against the NFL, claiming the league didn't do enough to prevent or treat the concussions that severely damaged his brain.
Easterling played safety for the Falcons in the 1970s. After his career, he suffered from dementia, depression and insomnia, according to his wife, Mary Ann. He committed suicide last April.
Mary Ann Easterling is among the plaintiffs who have sued the NFL.
''It was important to us to get to the bottom of this, the truth,'' Gina Seau said, ''and now that it has been conclusively determined from every expert that he had obviously had it, CTE, we just hope it is taken more seriously.
''You can't deny it exists, and it is hard to deny there is a link between head trauma and CTE. There's such strong evidence correlating head trauma and collisions and CTE.''
Tyler Seau played football through high school and for two years in college. He says he has no symptoms of brain trauma.
Gina Seau's son Jake, now a high school junior, played football for two seasons but has switched to lacrosse and has been recruited to play at
''Lacrosse is really his sport and what he is passionate about,'' she said. ''He is a good football player and probably could continue. But especially now watching what his dad went through, he says, `Why would I risk lacrosse for football?'
''I didn't have to have a discussion with him after we saw what Junior went through.''
Her 12-year-old son, Hunter, has shown no interest in playing football.
''That's fine with me,'' she said.

The presentation is both abstract (theory of social security) and concise (structure of social security systems). In taking into account the diversity of ways in which social security has been shaped by priorities of place and time, Dr Pieters delineates the distinct alternatives that can be adhered to in establishing a social security system. He builds a frame in which these various concepts, principles, options, and techniques can be put into perspective. Although this approach hints at a `common law of social security, Dr Pieters goes no further in that direction than a brief general survey (in his last chapter) of the possible features of a comparative social security law.
Social Security: An Introduction to the Basic Principles is sure to find a welcome among many sectors of the legal and policy communities. Full of insight and information, and eminently readable, the book may be seen in a number of different ways: as a road map explaining the social security systems of various states; as an overview of the various options available for building a social security system; as an exploration of the possibilities of rethinking or reforming an existing system; as the first tentative step toward a scientific discipline of comparative social security law; and much else besides.
Preface . 1. The concept of social security. 2. Sources of social security law. 3. Administering social security. 4. Personal scope of application. 5. Social risks (concept). 6. Social risks and social benefits (general). 7. Old age. 8. Decease. 9. Incapacity for work. 10. Unemployment. 11. Family burden. 12. Health care. 13. Care (dependency). 14. Need. 15. Financing social security. 16. Judicial protection. 17. Enforcing social security law. 18. Protection of personal privacy and of fundamental freedoms. 19. International social security law. 20.
