Fraud, conversion, new practices: the tough choice of your payment method
In a previous article, Cosmina addressed the topic of how to better choose your payment method. I'll do the same here, but from a different perspective.
Choosing your payment method is a serious matter that should not be done in haste. As the shops' activity is constantly increasing, one should be able to change their payment method to better meet the client's expectations. I find it hard to believe that we can choose a payment method that always matches our changing needs. How to choose the right solution? What are the main criteria? How to determine the resistance and sustainability of the chosen solutions?
In Europe, the total card fraud losses reached €1.55 billion in 2013.
A wide range of solutions
We are still not too far from those times when you had toRead more « Fraud, conversion, new practices: the tough choice of your payment method »
Is your eCommerce site legally compliant? (2/2)
How to make sure your site is compliant with the legislation in force
As promised in the previous article on the new Consumer Rights Directive, this time I will go into more legal details that all e-traders need to take into account in order to become legally compliant.
Reconsider your Terms & Conditions, legal mentions and licenses
The innovations brought by this new Directive automatically entail an update of your General Terms & Conditions of Sale, particularly the provisions on the transportation of the goods delivered to the client, as well as the withdrawal and refunding deadlines.
This is the perfect occasion for you to make sure whether the use of the eCommerce platform products (CMS platform, AddOns, additional tools) complies with the purchased license. With SaaS products, it's highly unlikely to be outside theRead more « Is your eCommerce site legally compliant? (2/2) »
Is your eCommerce site legally compliant?
E-traders, get ready for some new legal changes that may affect your business!
June 13, 2014 saw the adoption of the Consumer Rights Directive, a new EU legislation aiming to enhance consumer protection for online payments and purchases. Considering Pentalog's positioning with regard to e-traders, it seemed quite interesting to focus on these provisions, as they have a great impact on eCommerce sites which, if not updated yet, have become non-compliant with the law.
But how might this legislation affect your business? Here are the main aspects that need to be brought in line before and after confirming the order (also called contract):
Before confirming the order
1. No more hidden charges and costs on the Internet

2013 Year in review
I think it's high time we had a brief transparent 2013 overview in a plain language.
The consultancy and outsourcing services in digital strategy
As anticipated, 2013 has been a very difficult year. I will no longer insist on the issues we have already debated in January and February. Two weak points would be the activity of the Pentalog-Ausy joint venture – whose sales department is not managed by us and whose most important contract registered a 75% loss (although we had equally signed a contract with the global semiconductor sales leader) – and the one of Pentalog Germany, which registered a less predictable slowdown.
Nevertheless, these two counter-performances have been magnificently absorbed by the French and US markets. The former alone has brought us a 20% growth increase during a gloomy year andRead more « 2013 Year in review »
Nearshore Magento and Prestashop e-commerce development: Romania rocks!
Prompted by Pentalog, Romania discreetly continues to set the basis of its e-commerce expertise. We have probably initiated some of the first nearshore projects generating several million in annual sales.
It must be acknowledged that the bar has been constantly raised for Prestashop and Magento. Ever since we have started to use Magento as choice platform for our offers, we have recruited several specialists who enable us, after training, to state that we have about fifteen experts. We have identified several hundred on the market. At present, we are going to try to enter the Drupal Commerce market after a very promising meeting with Commerce Guys, a French-American software publisher.
By adding the Php resources from major cities, the country holds a leading position in one of the only double-digit growth sectors in theRead more « Nearshore Magento and Prestashop e-commerce development: Romania rocks! »
The habardasher lady, her working capital requirement, the cloud and China
We are all familiar with the charming, old-fashioned notions store whose ribbons and thread reels, guarded by a bored, fat cat , are as faded-out as the shop window, as if the old lady had never cleared her stock since she first opened the shop.
Let's say that this old lady has initially invested €1000 in her stock of products while another entrepreneur would have placed the same amount in the www.mercerie.com stock, promising his clients to find all the colors and qualities and serve them wherever they are in the world.
It is very likely that the digital trade turns inventory much faster, recovering its capital outlay and a small margin. Knowing the most connected wholesalers in the world, she will also rebuild its stock much faster than her sister from the old
Pentalog at eCommerce 2012 Trade Show
From September 18 to 20, 2012, Pentalog will attend the eCommerce Paris 2012 trade show as an exhibitor. eCommerce Paris is a trade show dedicated to eCommerce, mCommerce and Cloud Commerce that allows visitors to go through key issues related to competitive eCommerce.
With over 100 engineers working daily on eCommerce solutions for its clients, Pentalog obviously plays an important part in this event. I would like to invite you to explore all our nearshore and offshore services together at our booth S19, pavilion 7, Paris, Versailles gate. Along with Sophie Lelarge, Pentalog Group's Sales Director and our Project Managers specialized in eCommerce solutions, I will be happy to present you our services and success stories of which I would like to mention Meetic, Sensee.com, the leader of on-line travelRead more « Pentalog at eCommerce 2012 Trade Show »
E-commerce, Magento, Drupal, PHP, Dotnet: After signing 5 major contracts in 2012, our revenue is set to exceed 1.5 billion euro on the platforms we develop or co-develop together with our clients.
With more than 100 engineers mobilized by Pentalog for the best players on the e-commerce and web markets in France and Germany, plus the best software and the best platforms, no effort has been spared for two years. It is our vision to create THE growth solution preferred by the European growth players. We are on the verge of winning this bet in a sector foolishly neglected by IT giants.
It is no little thing to be there, when the number of developers in PHP and related technologies in France covers only 40% of the market demand. About a year ago, in a conversation with Marc Simoncini, a well-known web tycoon in France (Ifrance, Meetic, Sensee, Winamax etc.), at he time of the launch of the Internet trade school, we could conclude that whenRead more « E-commerce, Magento, Drupal, PHP, Dotnet: After signing 5 major contracts in 2012, our revenue is set to exceed 1.5 billion euro on the platforms we develop or co-develop together with our clients. »

While Bellator Fighting Championships officials have yet to reveal the full eight-man field for the promotions upcoming bantamweight tournament, a few of the matchups are already taking shape.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned from sources close to the fighters that Zach Makovsky vs. Nick Mamalis and Ulysses Gomez vs. Travis Reddinger will take place at Bellator 27.
Featuring a featherweight title fight between current champion Joe Soto and top contender and season-two tournament winner Joe Warren, Bellator 27 takes place Sept. 2 at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio, Texas.
Makovsky (9-2 MMA, 1-0 BFC) has yet to be formally announced as a competitor in Bellator's bantamweight tournament, though he has been an expected addition to the field since a June submission win over Eric Luke at Bellator 21. "Fun Size" previously defeated Josh Rave via technical submission in the opening round of M-1 Global's "M-1 Selection" tournament, held this past April.
Meanwhile, Mamalis (10-4 MMA, 2-0 BFC) returns to the promotion for a third time following two stoppage wins during Bellator's recent second season. The current Victory Fighting Championship title holder, "Garfield" is on a five fight win streak and has yet to lose since dropping from 145 pounds to the bantamweight division.
A heavily decorated grappler, Gomez (6-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC) makes his Bealltor debut. The current Tachi Palace Fights flyweight champion, "Useless" has earned five of his six career victories via submission. Gomez currently trains with Marc Laimon's Cobra Kai Jiu-Jitsu.
Meanwhile, Reddinger (14-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) also fights for the first time under the Bellator banner. "The Hurricane" sports a massive tattoo in his torso that reads "Bellator," so his inclusion in the tourney seems a natural fit (though the tattoo was completed more than four years before the fight promotion was created). Reddinger has won eight of his past nine fights, and eight of his 14 career victories have come via submission.
For additional coverage of Bellator 27, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

I have been reading very nice reports of the fellow pilots for a long time,giving me a chance to learn how things work in the other cockpits.I have been planning to spend some time to write one of my trips but the summer times are quite busy around here ,I barely can find enough time to spend with my family.
2 A 319's added to our existing A320/321 fleet in Turkish Airlines a few months ago(which are originally destined for AtlasJet but cancelled due to financial problems of that company)just on time that the RJ100's were leaving the company and they are assigned to the domestic routes which were served by RJ's in the past.
Couple of months ago I was complaining about the climb performance of the fully loaded A321 comparing to my previous type(737) in the Tech Ops.forum Pihero(who is an A 320 family captain) told me about the great performance of the A319 and I was looking forward to lay my hands on the "hot rod" 319.As I saw my name on the roaster to fly one of our routes served by 319,I though it may be a good occasion to write my first trip report.
The flight was from ÝST to-GZT(Gaziantep Oðuzeli)Airport.Departure time was 1400.Local time.I leave 30 minutes before the sign in time as I live very close to the Ýstanbul Atatürk airport.I drove for 5 minutes and parked my car to the THY parking lot in the airport.Actually if I walk straight forward from my door to the apron it would take less time to reach to the airplanes.You can see my apartment at the end of runway from a previous flight of mine.The skid marks from a Russian plane skidded off the runway the previous day.
I met my captain which I flew before(its really difficult to fly with the same people in short time intervals since THY expanded hugely since the few years and we have more than 1000 pilots know,its nice to see someone you know from the past.We went to the Dispatch office to get our flight plan,weather imformation and Notams,after that we went back did some talk in the pilots lounge as the CFA(Chief flight Attendant) came to introduce herself and reported that the other 2 crew members were also ready so we went to the briefing rooms.
In THY we meet and make our preflight briefings with the crew members in the cubical briefing rooms.Basicly Everyone introduces each other and the captains brief the FA's about the safety procedures,requests of general conduct with the passengers,and special information about the weather conditions expected enroute and at the destination.Then the CFA made her briefing to the crew members and we were ready as our airplane changed color on the info screen which means it is refuealed,loaded and cleaned at the gate and we were OK to go the plane.
We got on the crew bus and our airplane was docked at the domestic terminal gate 107.We have a funny looking but nice display of gentlemenship during boarding.The CFA leads first and the female FA's line according to their seniority to climb the leaders first then goes the most senior male crew(mostly the captain and FO)infront and the male FA's trailing.
As we board everybody goes to their stations and we go into the cockpit.
This is how the interior of the brand new baby looks like.
The first thing I look is to check the the landing gear pins which are located behind the box where I put my bag,so I see 3 of them and put my bag,sit on my seat and check the plane's maintenance log.We already recieve the maint.situation of the airplane on the dispatch briefing but there may be new ones from the last leg or may be continued items,required usege of MEL.
Captain and I decide who will be the PF and PNF on the leg and PNF goes for the walkaround and PF starts preparing the airplane.
Today I was PF and the capt.went out I did turn on all the lights of the airplane to check if all of the working.I did check my emergency equipment,and oxygen and done an bomb search checklist which is another gift of post 9/11. Then I adjust my seat and armrest positions for my side stick and take out the Jeppesen approach charts for the departure and arrival airports.
Please check your spelling (press "Check Spelling" above)

Good News For Gulf Fishermen
Posted On October 29, 2014 by J.P. Brooker
The prognosis for the long-term recovery of red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico brightened considerably last Thursday with the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's passage of a measure known as "Amendment 40"—also known to fishermen as "Sector Separation." Amendment 40 will allow separate management of private recreational anglers and for-hire charter vessels that fish for red snapper.
Although the red snapper fishery in the Gulf is managed as a single stock, the reality is that fishermen from the Florida Keys to South Texas face different situations and fish for different reasons. A for-hire captain who takes customers out of Southwest Florida and deep into federal waters may have a different set of concerns or needs than the weekend recreational angler who has a boat and likes to go red snapper fishing with friends and family but might not venture far from their home marina in the Florida Panhandle, Louisiana, or Texas. It is because of these vastly different situations among fishermen that a new management strategy was needed to address individual concerns, while also ensuring that conservation and rebuilding of the stock remains paramount.

Paper Abstract:
Examines freedom of press vs. ethical reporting, code of ethics, role of court, examples of questionable ethics, invasion of privacy, coverage of celebrities. Outline.
Paper Introduction:
Freedom of the Press is a phrase given high value in the American system, but it is not an absolute. Freedom of the Press is found in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and the courts give great importance to this amendment when considering competing rights. Still, there are cases where the courts find that the press goes too far, and the public often believes this is true. Unethical behavior by the press is behavior that goes against a fundamental and protected individual right and that does so by breaking one of the elements of the currently adopted Code of Ethics. Recently, the Society of Professional Journalists held a meeting in Arlington, Virginia at which those attending the convention voted on a new Ethics Code. The code contains the four principles seen as most important in ethical behavior for journalists by this group:
Text of the Paper:
The entire text of the paper is shown below. However, the text is somewhat scrambled. We want to give you as much information as we possibly can about our papers and essays, but we cannot give them away for free. In the text below you will find that while disordered, many of the phrases are essentially intact. From this text you will be able to get a solid sense of the writing style, the concepts addressed, and the sources used in the research paper.
The issue of the First versus the Sixth Amendments has been raisedseveral times. New York: Columbia University Press, 1989.Hall, Kermit. However, Freedom of the Press means freedom from most governmentinterference, and not only can the press print what it wants to a greatdegree, it also cannot be forced to print something it does not want. Definition A. Indeed, it seemsat times as if newspapers and other media are more interested in thisscandalous story than is the public, contributing to the view that it isbusiness rather than news judgment driving the frenzy. Freedom of the Press is found in theFirst Amendment to the U.S. Code of Ethics 1. The distinction made by Lindbergh continues to be made by many in theprofession, and they see the regular press on one side and the tabloids,such as the National Enquirer, on the other. Playing It Straight. What is held up as news isshaped not by events as much as by rules of how to please the public. The argument over whether or not thepress should have done this became an argument over the "character issue,"and that has been the phrase used ever since to refer to investigationsthat go beyond competence or questions of professional background. California's courtsdismissed the case and its higher court dismissed it as well, but the U.S.Supreme Court cleared the way for an invasion of privacy trial. Thebroadcast media has been treated somewhat differently because the airwavesare considered a finite resource so that broadcasters are licensed, asnewspapers are not. New York: Longman, 1988.Bossert, Rex. The Paula Jones lawsuit has occupied the attention of the news mediafor a long time, and even with the discovery of new scandals aboutPresident Clinton, the Jones suit has remained a central issue. TheFirst Amendment has evolved a great deal in this century. Otherscandals are talked about as if they were related to the Jones suit. M Minimize harm. Public serviceII. The classic case of the press breaking its own code involves the firsttrue media celebrity in this century--Charles A. Lance. Unethical behavior by the press is behavior that goes against afundamental and protected individual right and that does so by breaking oneof the elements of the currently adopted Code of Ethics. 241 [1974]), the Supreme Court struck down a law from Floridathat required newspapers to publish replies to criticism about politicalcandidates, stating that requiring a newspaper to publish one story asopposed to another was an unconstitutional interference with the rights ofeditors to determine the content of their newspapers (Hall 811). While heseemed to put the matter to rest and did win the presidency, doubts haveremained and continue to make Clinton's character an issue with critics ofhis actions and his administration. Limits/Boundaries C. This sort of case makes theethical rule not to do harm very difficult to follow, leaving us to askwhat constitutes harm. The Hart case "focused publicattention on how far the press should venture in reporting private lives ofpublic officials" (Goldstein 3). Individual Right to Privacy 1. Since then, the press has not needed a challenge but delves into theprivate lives of candidates at will. Her law suit was not forlibel but for invasion of privacy. The press frenzy around recent major cases such as that of O.J.Simpson, the Unabomber, and the Oklahoma City bombing raised questions inthe public about the ethics of the press in covering these trials. Unauthorized photos of her son werepublished, along with confidential details of her financial situation, andphotos of her son appeared in television ads for the Enquirer. Still, the basic principle applies to both, and thereare many court cases supporting the right of newspapers and the news mediato be free to print what they want and to be free to ignore a story if theywant. Freedom of the Press is a phrase given high value in the Americansystem, but it is not an absolute. New York: Columbia University Press, 1989. TheEnquirer settled days after the Supreme Court announcement (Bossert 3).The Enquirer often fights to avoid the fourth element in the new code--"beaccountable." Even journalists following the precept to seek information of publicimport may be accused of invasion of privacy. Ms. Hood is the mother of an illegitimate son by actor EddieMurphy and was the subject of a 1992 article. Mr. Fellows felt that this law was about "peace of mind andpersonal feelings" ("California: False Light Privacy Treated Like Libel"4). was the celebrity partiallycreated by a media that then believed it owned him. Just as the consumer is kept passive bythe media, so is the media kept passive by economic realities and thetendency to protect the way things are so as not to change the prevailingpower of the news to attract an audience (Bennett 17). Tornillo(418 U.S. Broadcast Media 1. Charles Lindbergh, Sr. The way the media has treatedthis entire story fits the image of the "feeding frenzy" said to occur whenall reporters descend on the same story at the same time. C. The Character Issue 3. Consider the important right to a fair trial, and courts today areoften asked to consider which of these rights should be first in differentcases. Tornillo 2. In deciding how to follow astory, reporters must consider what is ethical and what is not. Arthur Fellows a.

Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist's credibility (Hernandez and Schmitt 22).Few argue that press ethics in themselves are a bad thing or that thereshould be no code of ethics by which professional journalists recognize thefact, but there are strong arguments about specific issues and whether theyconstitute ethical failures or not. The Enquirer won the case when the California court determined thatunder false light invasion of privacy there needed to be a proof of specialdamages ("California: False Light Privacy Treated Like Libel" 5).

The issue has been raised recently in circumstances inwhich the press is seen as both intrusive and unethical by much of thepublic, and though the press privilege has been supported by most courts,journalists are still concerned about what might happen in the future: But the privilege accorded to the press depends on public support, and will wither without public support.

Classic car destroyed in Edwardsville garage fire
EDWARDSVILLE - A classic car and the garage that had been housing it were gutted by flames Saturday afternoon.
Edwardsville Fire Chief Ray King said crews at about 11:30 a.m. were dispatched to the area of 47 S. Wyoming Ave. - across the street from Long John Silver's - on the report of a garage fire.
According to King, the single-car garage was housing a 1960 Ford Thunderbird, which was destroyed by the fire. King identified the owner of the garage as Brian McQue.
"He had a battery charger going and he was moving (the Thunderbird) today," King said. "He was charging the battery, so I think that might've had something to do with the origin (of the fire)."
The official cause of the fire is undetermined, but King said a state police fire marshal would investigate.
"The car is so badly destroyed - I have a feeling that it might have started in the car and set the garage on fire," King said.
The garage at the time of the blaze was unoccupied and no injuries were reported. The fire was knocked down about 10 minutes after firefighters arrived on scene, King said. Responding units were from Edwardsville and Kingston.

In the Chinese tradition of Taoism, there are eight legendary xian who became immortal by following the way of Tao. Each of the Eight Immortals represents a different facet of humanity and had unique powers — as well as unique paths to immortality. For the 2014 All-Star Profiles, I took a look at the Eight Immortals of the NBA. Kyrie Irving is Han Xiang, a teacher of philosophical balance who tested his by tring to climb the tree of immortality.
Things have gone really poorly for Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers this year. There's no nice way of saying that. In the best case scenario of the most optimistic observer, 2013-14 represents a learning moment for the entire Cavaliers organization, top to bottom. The problem is that the lesson isn't exactly clear. Cleveland's drafted poorly, but "don't draft bad players" seems axiomatic. Free agency has been miss or miss; again, "make the most of free agency" is a pretty good idea. They lost LeBron James; "don't part ways with the best player in the NBA if you can help it," check.
So maybe it's not the lessons themselves. Maybe 2013-14 was a chance for the Cavs to practice emergency preparedness. If they thought they'd bottomed out before, how wrong they were — this year has revealed a basement below a basement in which only a Cleveland franchise could make a home. That's okay, says the optimist. You have to take the good with the bad. And you need to mix in a little bit of the balanced, too. A little neutrality never hurt anyone. Striving for .500 and a playoff berth for the sake of making the postseason was okay, because a little mediocrity teaches you to appreciate the good times and that the bad times don't last forever.
It's the pride, though, that'll get you. Being too proud to learn the lessons and do the homework wastes the opportunity to make good from bad and balance from it all. There's nothing wrong with striving to climb to the highest rung and shout your supremacy to the winds, but you better be right each time you reach up for the next branch. If you swing, and you miss, the fall can last forever.
When things are going right for the Cavs, though, Irving is that balance. He's their scorer and their offensive initiator in equal parts. He's their Han Xiang, the Immortal who nearly wasn't. Han Xiang was a great philosopher and poet. His lessons centered on the three core elements of humanity: good, evil and balance. Failing to balance all three — including balance, it's all very meta — would have disharmonious effects, and blatant disregard for their proper order meant cacophony. In the eyes of Han Xiang, such was the state of the royal court, which he believed to be too heavily influenced by Buddhist teachings. For voicing his displeasure with the way things were, Han Xiang was banished to the wilderness. With nothing to lose, he went into the beastslaying business, finding a village endangered by a dragon and…eliminating the danger, so to speak.
Once you've killed a dragon after you've already been exiled, you basically dare the universe to stop you from conquering it. Han Xiang happened upon the tree of immortality and came to the same conclusion that any five-year old would: that thing needed to be climbed, immediately. How tall can a tree of immortality really be? 30 feet? 40 feet?
Turns out the answer is forever. When you're starting from the bottom and trying to become one of the Immortals, you have a long, long way to go. And if you try to fight gravity, you'll probably never make it. Han Xiang told others that balance was the way, yet he let his pride allow him to risk the fall. And fall he did. He'd yearned to see how the Immortals lived and paid for his folly. He knew it. He realized he'd made a mistake.
And though he was now well on his way to cratering, he'd generally been pretty awesome. So right before he hit the ground, he conveniently became immortal. He hit the dirt, realized he was alive, dusted himself off, and went about a life of showing off just how immortal and magical he was. When his uncle didn't want to give up a job working for the government to come play wizards with him, Han Xiang made his gourd pour an endless supply of wine, just to prove how awesome magic was.
Eventually, Kyrie Irving's going to get to that stage of his career. Right now, though, he and the Cavs are still victims of physics, in free fall until something intercedes. Immortality or the ground — which strikes first in Cleveland?

Millions Of Songbirds Slaughtered For Food
Take a careful look at this moving image by photographer David Guttenfelder on the National Geographic website. A Redstart hangs in the air unable to detach itself from a "lime stick" – a trap made from cut branches covered with sticky glue usually made from boiled plums or other fruit which is placed there to catch such songbirds. At first you think the bird is quite dead and any movement is merely due its wings and feathers moving in the wind. Then you realize, as the bird suddenly makes a desperate attempt to free itself, that it is indeed still alive. In the background there is an identical bird suffering the same slow lingering death. Each and every year millions of tiny birds like these are trapped, netted, or shot right across Southern Europe and into North Africa. This slaughter is illegal and takes place purely and simply to satisfy a huge demand for songbirds to be used as food.
Make no mistake, this is in no way a form of subsistence hunting which can be justified in terms of supporting a native way of life in the way that, for example, an Innuit might get exemption from legal restrictions on killing bears or whales. This wholesale capture and killing is carried out to provide banned "delicacies" in homes and restaurants and is often conducted simply for profit or, at worst, simply for fun.
The birds are used in many dishes, such as ambelopoulia. This consists mainly of a type of warbler common in Europe, the Blackcap, although other species are used. The whole bird is eaten including the legs and beak. Over 150 species have been found in the various forms of traps and over 70 of those would be classified as endangered by the EU Birds Directive. The trapping methods are indiscriminate and non-selective. This activity is not just cruel it is environmentally disastrous. But the financial incentives continue to drive the trade. In Cyprus, where all forms of bird trapping have been illegal since 1974, ambelopoulia itself is banned but is still widely available illegally in restaurants around the island where it can fetch prices ranging from 40 to 80 Euros. Similar dishes are available as far afield as France, Italy, and Egypt. The Egyptians often roast songbirds stuffed with rice.
Despite legislation and concerted attempts by conservation organisations like the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and Birdlife International, little has been achieved in stopping the killing. Some groups like Germany's Committee Against Bird Slaughter have taken more direct action. "CABS" members frequently visit the most affected countries to challenge and confront trappers in the field.
Here in the UK the robin is the nation's favourite bird and, as in many countries, it has become a symbol of Christmas with millions of Robin images adorning cards, wrapping paper and packaging. How outraged would people be if they knew that this tiny bird also falls into the hands of the trappers?
"Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul". Thus wrote Emily Dickinson in her poem of the same name. One can only hope that concerted international effort can end this cruelty.

NHS 111 workers may get access to private medical records
The government has announced proposals that would provide thousands of unqualified NHS 111 workers access to our private medical records, posing a massive risk to patient privacy.
Patients have a right to know about any changes to how their medical records can be accessed and deserve clear and transparent information about how they will be effected. The Department for Health has yet to announce how they will make patients aware of the proposed changes and we are yet to see whether they will write to every patient in the country as the last government did about the Summary Care Record.
When asked about concerns about unauthorised access to medical records and the impact on patient's privacy and confidentiality, the Department for Health has said that call center workers will have to seek permission from individual patient's before they access the records. However, our research has highlighted that data protection regulations, which in theory should protect patients from having their information accessed unnecessarily, does not stop serious data protection breaches occurring, with instances ranging from sharing patient's information on Facebook to looking at each other's medical records.
If trained medical professionals who have a duty of care are falling foul of data breaches, can we really rely on the assurances of the Department for Health that NHS 111 workers, with as little as 2 weeks training, should have access to highly sensitive and private medical records?
The proposal by the Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt, comes at a time when the Government is creating a database of medical files to enable NHS staff to more easily share patient information. Barely a week seems to go by without a new raft of people being able to access our most intimate medical details yet patients continue to be denied basic information about what is happening or given the choice to opt-out.
The NHS has been accused of not doing enough to ensure confidential patient information is protected, and clearly putting that information into even more people's hands could be a recipe for disaster. The Department for Health must provide plans for far more stringent safeguards to ensure our medical records are protected before these proposals are even considered being rolled out across the country.

yeah nothing like having the person who needs to know your condition denied access to key information.
NEWSFLASH everyone in ANY company has access to the relevant info.
'unqualified'? what a red herring… if they were not qualified they wouldn't be in the job.
DPA is part and parcel of any job.
But sure let's have the ignorant masses decide whats best for company policy on something they know nothing about. If the public know best then why do they bother with doctors.

My reply to 'anon.e.moose', what a load of rubbish..
tim12th September 2013
'anon.e.moose' 111 call takers are unqualified they have absolutely no medical knowledge whatsoever and are following a protocol. They don't need to know when you last had a smear or a chlamydia test, or what antidepressant you take, or that your cross dress. They don't need to know this but they will.
If someone wanted access to your complete medical record all they need do is apply to work for 111 and 2 weeks later have access to it all. There is no such thing as confidentiality any more.
not again13th September 2013
Because of repeated data breaches within the NHS I have opted out of almost everything that is NHS. If 111 are going to have access to medical records then I will opt out of the NHS completely. It has cost me a fortune over the years as I have had to go private.
111 advisers do not require access to our medical records and nor should they have access. This government is hell bent on removing any privacy and confidentiality we have. It is Big Brother, in the widest sense, gone completely mad.
We should demand for our records to return to paper records. That way they cannot be shared in the ways that are fast becoming the norm by a government that does not know about or care about confidentiality.

I went on a tour of Amish and Mennonite farms yesterday, in Southern Maryland. Learned that the difference between the two is that the Amish felt that the Mennonites were moving away from the original tenants of their beliefs of simplicity in faith and lifestyle so broke away in 1693.
The Mennonites are tolerant of innovation, education and technology, feeling that they can be a positive influence. The Amish feel differently.
So riding through the lush green countryside, sniffling, sneezing violently and scratching at my eyes, I got to peek into their lives.
There were 14 of us with a woman who runs "tours to the Amish". She's loud, effusive, knowledgable and occasionally funny… all the qualities a good tour guide. She's lived in this area her entire life and knows the Mennonite and Amish farmers personally. I think they tolerate she and her tours because they introduce potential customers to their produce stands, small shops and businesses. They handed us business cards and fliers when we left and encouraged us to return sometime…without her.
So stuff I learned about my new neighbors…who moved to the area in 1940 to buy old tobacco farms…I'll give you information as randomly as the guide gave it to us….
1. Mennonites always drive black carriages. Amish always drive gray carriages…because they want to. If there's a significance in the different colors she didn't know what it was.
2. They are both Christians. They believe they should live simply in the manner of Christ, which is why they choose to live the way they do.
3.They don't believe in infant baptism. They believe following Christ in all aspects of their lives is an adult decision.
4. They attend church every other Sunday in this area. The communities are so large they have to split it up…my guess is by alphabet.
5. The Mennonites have small churches, with horse parking garages. Their sermons last 3 hours and the person giving the sermon is chosen randomly that morning…"you…get up it's your turn…make it a good one."
6. The Amish meet in their homes…they take turns. Someone is in charge of the tables and benches and hauls them to the next house on the list.
7. On their Sunday off they visit neighbors, have picnics, play ball and enjoy the day.
8. Amish children speak only German the first 5 years of their lives. When they start school they learn English through classroom immersion. They are not allowed to talk to a stranger unless their parents give them permission. They won't wave and they avert their eyes if you attempt to chat with them…the younger kids don't understand us anyway. They're really well-behaved, or so it seems to me, but I don't live with them.
9. Teachers in Amish schools are young Amish girls…14 and up.
10. Amish children leave school at 14…they feel that any further knowledge will undermine their beliefs and is pointless.
11. Mennonite children attend Mennonite schools, but their education continues through high school. It depends on how progressive the family is rather the child attends a public university. There is a Mennonite University…somewhere.
12. Amish women marry as young as 15. If the match doesn't work there's no divorce…there is no infidelity…they suck it up. They can remarry if there is a death…(not going to comment)
13. The kids are seriously the cutest little things you have ever seen…personal observation.
14. Amish clothing is limited to blacks, browns, blues and some prints, but the leader of the local church gets to pick the colors the group wears. You have to hope he has good taste.
14. Amish women don't have buttons or hooks on their clothes…they use straight pins. I could never be Amish. When the guide asked her Amish friends why the straight pins she was told that it makes sense…women's shapes change…the pins make it easy to adjust the clothing. Men can have buttons. The buttons don't match…they don't care.
15. Amish men wear high waters. They do it on purpose, so their pant legs don't brush the dirt and wear longer. They wear straw hats in summer, black felt in winter. Women wear white cotton caps when out. Little girls are given their caps and capes at 8 to wear out…fot modesty reasons.
16. Amish women never cut their hair, Amish men cut their hair like I did my son's when they were small…bowl cut.
17. Amish men have uncut beards they grow after they get married. Mennonite men never have beards. Neither have mustaches…ever. It's the mark of a warrior and they don't believe in the trappings of war.
18. Amish and Mennonite do pay taxes, but do not pay into the social security system. They have SS cards for tax purposes, but don't collect Social Security.
19. Neither group uses insurance…they pay for medical care with products and goods (in this area) and have a community fund to use if a member requires extensive care. No dental plan…They keep their old people at home…no extended care.
20. Their homes are sparten…they make the really beautiful furniture for us, but don't need it in their homes.
21. There is a family here that just lost their home to a fire two weeks ago. The mother managed to get all the kids out, but didn't get the dog or cat. The community just finished their new home…with some contributions of wood, windows and such from local businesses. Another family lost their home in a fire a few months back…the mom got all but one of her 13 children out. She and the kids have been in the hospital, the communities in the area are helping with the cost…rather amazing.
22. The Amish and Mennonite men wear their clothing loose to hide their amazing bodies…it's a modesty thing. Because of the clothing we don't know if they are lying about their bodies. Women wear their dresses just above their ankles and someone told all of them to wear black tennis shoes.
23. Amish kids make out and have parking spots. They have few incidences of pregnancy before marriage…but then they get married in their teens…good thing because they have lots of kids. They are allowed to go out at night and stay out for as long as they like. The flashlight is their best friend.
24. They shun. The length of the shunning depends on the cause, but it can last for years. The shunned person is allowed to live in the home and eat with the family, but no one passes them food or talks to them. I think THE MAN is shunning me…I threw out some old cinnamon rolls he wanted.
25. The Amish and Mennonites are the only ones in Maryland allowed to grow tobacco. They smoke…
26. They don't like their picture taken..it's a graven image thing.
27. They refer to us as English…just like in the movie "Witness".
28. They bathe once a week…heating water is hard and time consuming. They don't wear deodorant. I would bet the women don't shave, but I didn't ask.
29. The women wear big underwear…saw them on the clothes lines…no evidence of bras.
30. They all use out houses…and they have spiders in them.
There was more, but that's as much as I could retain without making notes.
I felt weird driving down lanes, poking through barns and peering into their sheds. The residents were in the fields and they left notes saying to honk if you wanted to buy something. Some people went on the honor system…leaving a basket to put money in if you made a purchase.
They told us if they had a sign out they want us to stop by, but still it felt weird…the canned foods are amazing, the vegetables fresh and healthy, the goat cheese smells, the furniture is beautiful and the quilts are museum pieces.
I know a lot more about my neighbors, which is always good… and I know where to get fresh eggs. I have my eye on a table if I can find the farm again and I can tell if you are Mennonite or Amish when I see your carriage…I wish I knew why that was important.

Maya Angelou 'memoie of s, so why? put in a bird cage sings, takes place during atime when the laws of segregation have ruled most of the south. cos', as the strength of his habe estimate of s? influenced by the law
One Response to "How might Maya Angelou have been affected by the segregation laws?"
Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Ann Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri, on April 4, 1928. In 1931, when she was three years old, her parents divorced and she and her 4-year old brother, Bailey, were sent alone, by train, to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. While living with her grandmother, Angelou participated in a wide variety of dance classes including tap, jazz, foxtrot, and salsa.
After four years in Stamps, the children returned to their mother's care in California. At age eight, Angelou confessed that her mother's boyfriend, Mr. Freemen, had sexually abused her, and Angelou's uncles beat the man to death. Horrified by the outcome, she became mute, believing, as she has stated, that "the power of [her] words led to someone's death." She remained nearly mute for five years, at which point her mother sent the children to live with their grandmother once again. Angelou credits a close friend in Stamps, Mrs. Flowers, for helping her "re-find her voice."
She began to speak again at age 13 and returned to live with her family. She graduated 8th grade with honors at the Lafayette Country Training School. In 1940, while spending the summer with her father in the Los Angeles area, Angelou was assaulted by her father's live-in girlfriend, which led to her running away from home and spending a month as a resident of a junkyard that housed other homeless children. She finally called her mother and was sent a ticket back home to San Francisco, but her month of homelessness had a profound effect on her way of looking at the world. As she says in p. 254 of Caged Bird, "After a month my thinking processes had so changed that I was hardly recognizable to myself. The unquestioning acceptance of my peers had dislodged the familiar insecurity…After hunting down unbroken bottles and selling them with a white girl from Missouri, a Mexican girl from Los Angeles and a Black girl from Oklahoma, I was never again to sense myself so solidly outside the pale of the human race. The lack of criticism evidenced by our ad hoc community influenced me, and set a tone of tolerance in my life."
Angelou's first work of literature, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, is an autobiography that was published in 1969. Angelou's disruptive life inspired her to write this book. It reflects the essence of her struggle to the restrictions that were placed upon her in a hostile environment. Angelou wrote with a twist of lyrical imagery along with a touch of realism. The title of this book is taken from the poem "Sympathy" by the great black poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar.
She spent part of her young life in the South living with her paternal grandmother. It was there she encountered the prejudice of the Old South.

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - The Pittsburgh Penguins didn't have their
newest star on the ice, but received a contribution from one of their old ones
to pick up yet another victory.
Evgeni Malkin delivered a goal in his return from a nine-game absence, while
Tomas Vokoun turned back all 20 shots he faced as the red-hot Penguins ran
their winning streak to 14 straight games with a dominating 4-0 decision over
the Winnipeg Jets at the CONSOL Energy Center.
Pascal Dupuis scored twice and Chris Kunitz added a goal and an assist for
Pittsburgh, which made some additional headlines with its blockbuster
acquisition of two-time 50-goal scorer Jarome Iginla from the Calgary Flames
in the early-morning hours of Thursday.
Iginla has yet to join his new teammates, with the accomplished veteran
forward likely to make his Penguins' debut when Pittsburgh hosts the New York
Islanders on Saturday.
Vokoun, pressed into duty with No. 1 goaltender Marc Andre-Fleury injured in
Tuesday's 1-0 triumph over Montreal, also notched an assist in addition to
recording his 50th career shutout.
Al Montoya finished with 39 saves for the Southeast-leading Jets, who entered
the matchup of division front-runners having won two straight.

|Timeshare Users Group
This page provides you with the history of Timeshare Users group and everything you get by joining the TUG family!!!!!
TUG Banner Ads .. click for details on this banner program
Why was TUG formed?
Hi, I'm Bill Rogers. I initiated TUG because my wife and I traded our very nice (Gold Crown & 5 Star rating) resort for what can only be described as a run-down converted motel. To say that we were upset, is to put it mildly.
The picture in the Exchange Resort Directory looked great! The description had everything we were looking for, even tennis. But when we got there...... The condo was probably WW II vintage and still had the original furniture (I have seen better thrown away on the street). But the straw that broke the camel's back was the tennis court (we love tennis and all our trades usually have tennis available). The only court was over grown with weeds and did not even have a net!) When we asked about it, we were told it had not had a net for years! So much for Resort Directory pictures and write-ups! We vowed we would never be ripped off again! From that time on, when we are in an area (and have time) we tour the timeshare resorts to find out what they are really like. We will no longer rely only on the Exchange companies for this information!
During our vacations, we found that most timeshare owners feel the same way. So, with the help of other timeshare owners, we have formed the Timeshare Users Group. We invite you to join us in this organization. The more members we have, the better the quality of information. Currently our BBS online forums has more than 60,000 other owners just like you! (previous versions of the TUGBBS forums over the past 19+ years have had hundreds of thousands of timeshare owners as well!)
By the way, the exchange company did credit us with their exchange fee ($69) to be used toward another exchange. What a joke! We lost a week's vacation, not to mention, the hundreds of dollars in maintenance fees we had to pay at our home resort.
Who can Join TUG?
Membership is available to anyone who owns or is thinking of purchasing a timeshare resort unit ( the best time to join our group is prior to buying your first resort so you can take advantage of the members experiences and learn which resorts to buy and how much to pay ). TUG is not limited to the USA and anyone in any country can join and participate!
How Much Does It Cost?
The membership fee is only $15 for an entire year! ( renewal dues are only $15 a year or a discounted 3 year renewal for $30 and you receive free classified ads in the Timeshare Marketplace! )
What Do I Get For My Membership?
TUG provides the following for all members for only $15!
Read Member Testimonials and Comments about TUG!
Access to Ratings and Reviews of thousands of resorts all over the world! These reviews are written by actual timeshare owners who have traveled to these resorts and give you an accurate account of the property, room, local attractions and more! Also view pictures from the resort as well as videos and virtual tours! Check out this sample review of the Wyndham Seawatch Plantation as an example of what we provide! Click to View Review!

All ads are open to the public and do not require membership to browse! Ads come complimentary with your TUG membership so you can post your timeshare for sale, for rent, and for exchange all for the cost of the membership fee!
TUG Advice is probably the most helpful section of the site for new buyers/sellers just getting into timesharing. Written by owners, members and experts. These articles cater to the entry level and intermediate level timeshare individual and are a must read for anyone thinking of buying or selling a timeshare and those who want to make the absolute most out of their timeshare experience!

If you've read this blog for any length of time, you might be scratching your head at the change in tone from "hey, this is what's happening with my family…" to "stand up and be counted."
It's intentional. During the election, I blogged politics on a separate site and lost focus on what to do here. Consequently, I gained a ton of readers to that blog and lost many on this one. After the election, I was somewhat burned out and mostly gobsmacked that we had actually succeeded in electing a gifted, smart, talented couple to the White House. It was one of the few times I've been at a loss for words.

A police chase this weekend has landed a Beaufort woman in trouble with the law.
Morehead City police say they tried to stop a car speeding down Broad Street Saturday night. Police say when they activated their lights and siren the car sped up to about 60 miles per hour. Officers say the car ran a red light and eventually pulled into a driveway on Cedar Street.
Police say Darleen Riggs and a 20-year-old passenger were both drunk. The 48-year-old woman's blood alcohol level was .22, more than twice the legal limit of .08.
Riggs has been charged with DWI, careless and reckless driving, speeding to elude arrest, open container of alcohol, running a red light, and giving alcohol to someone less than 21 years of age.

Judge Rules Against New Drilling Regs
In the aftermath of the BP spill, federal regulators promulgated sweeping new rules governing the drilling and operation of offshore wells. These new rules apply not only to the operators of deepwater wells, like BP's Macondo, but to shallow water drilling as well. Largely as a result of these new rules, and uncertainty among regulators and the oil and gas operators as to their meaning | Read More »

If you didn't already know, Evan Blaustein, our founder and CEO, is a Babson alum.
Recently, his alma mater spearheaded a really neat crowd-sourcing project promoting their consistently #1 ranked entrepreneurship education programs by asking people across the globe to connect and redefine the term "entrepreneurship."
The campaign is super fresh and forward thinking. A short spot featuring several entrepreneurs is included below:
Evan's brainchild was featured in a special print edition of Entrepreneur magazine where he defines entrepreneurship as "being a pioneer by fearlessly following a dream — the bigger the better — with the prowess and resolve to make it real." The following blurb highlights how Blaustein upped the ante for the flash game, "turn[ing] the stodgy world of flash memory into an avenue for pop culture quirkiness."

Many companies have been gearing towards Blu-ray lately, but Paramount will be doing it with greater justification.
Paramount Home Entertainment will be shipping several Blu-ray disc movies that will offer more bang for the buck than the version available on HD-DVD.
Blades of Glory will be the first movie the company ships that offers more on Blu-ray. The movie will feature the lossless, or uncompressed, soundtrack of the movie with a PCM 5.1 soundtrack. Of course the movie will be in HD format but the extra feature will not be available on the rivaling HD-DVD format.
Along with Blades of Glory, Paramount will also be releasing Face/Off two weeks later. It will include special features found on DVDs but in HD format. Again these additions will not be available for the HD-DVD format.
Paramount is not doing this purely for marketing reasons, but for the fact that HD-DVD is not capable of holding all the content on one disc, and due to constraints, Paramount decided it would be best to not offer the content.
Stay with PSU for further info!

All relaxation therapies can put the body into a state of homeostasis and trigger the parasympathetic nervous system, which can put the body back into a state of balance. For the body to be healthy and avoid 'dis-ease' all the body's systems, organs and glands need to work together harmoniously.
Ancient Eastern medical systems have long upheld that emotional states can reside in specific areas of the body. Problems with these emotions manifest along the meridians (energy channels) that run throughout the body to all major organs and glands in the body and 'get stuck'. All forms of therapy can help to unblock these congested areas to help the body and mind back to a balanced state.
Feeling stressed, anxious or out of kilter? Try one hour of therapy and see for yourself how much better you will feel.

The body seeks this state of homeostasis where healing can take place. All forms of massage induce deep relaxation, allowing the nervous system to calm down, blood flow to improve and aid the removal of toxins.
Dr. Herbert Benson of Harvard's Mind Body Institute, has studied stress reduction for 35 years. He found that stress causes physical or emotional blockages and that stress reduction was essential to the creation of health. He coined the phrase "relaxation response". He defines this as "a physical state of deep rest that changes the physical and emotional responses to stress – for example: decrease in heart rate, blood pressure and muscle tension." He also found that regular elicitation of the relaxation response has been scientifically proven to be an effective treatment for a wide range of stress-related disorders. In fact, to the extent that any disease is caused or made worse by stress, the relaxation response is essential to healing it.
I am passionate about complementary therapies and the benefits they can bring for your health and wellbeing. A thorough consultation is always carried out on your first appointment to pinpoint areas of concern and a personal treatment plan will be tailored to your needs.

Reiterating a suggestion I previously made... if you're a filmmaker/producer/distributor reading this, and your film is streaming on Netflix, please let me know. Netflix unfortunately doesn't have what I feel should be a more efficient search/sort method, and it can be quite a chore trying to find something worth watching. So, help me out if you can.
The same goes for non-filmmakers. If you stumble across any titles that you think should be featured in this weekly series, let me know!
But as usual... These aren't necessarily recommendations. Consider the list more of an FYI - films and TV shows we've talked about on this site, at one time or another, that are now streaming on Netflix, that you might want to check out for yourselves.
Without further ado, here is this week's list of 5:
1 - The film that launched Nicole Beharie's on-screen career, also her feature film acting debut, American Violet - a factual story set in small town Texas, in 2000, that tells the story of Dee Roberts, a 24 year old African American mother of four, who is swept up in a drug raid and falsely accused based on the uncorroborated testimony of a single informant. Despite the urging of her mother Alma, Dee rejects a plea bargain that would release her from jail but forever brand her as a felon. With the custody of her children at stake, she instead decides to take on the powerful district attorney behind it all, Calvin Beckett, and with inspiring courage and dignity, she overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles, forever changing her and the Texas justice system.
Then newcomer Beharie was joined by Alfre Woodard as Dee's mother, Charles S Dutton, and many more.
Tim Disney, the great-grand nephew of Walt Disney, directed the film.
It was a strong acting debut for Beharie and worth a look if you've never seen the film.
