Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Want a higher salary, a better title, or even just lower bank fees? The key is negotiation, and author and entrepreneur Ramit Sethi is the man to show us how. Negotiation is a big part of his book "I Will Teach You to Be Rich." Some of the lessons it teaches, he learned from his parents.
Recently, the New York Times interviewed Sethi's parents as part of an article on raising financial gurus. In conversation with writer Ron Lieber, they provided a few tips on how to get more for your money.
Lesson No. 1: Always bargain.
"A running theme throughout Ramit Sethi's book, blog and courses is the idea that we should all negotiate like Indians do," writes Lieber. "When I asked his mother, Neelam Sethi, whether anyone might take offense to the idea, she seemed surprised."
Negotiating, Neelam Sethi told Lieber is part of the Indian way of life.
"That's the way we grew up," she said. "You never purchased anything without bargaining, whether it was milk or eggs or fruit."
Lesson No. 2: Don't be afraid to be uncomfortable.
Her son often tells the story of how his father spent days negotiating for a better price on a car, a big-ticket purchase that was rare for their family. After several trips, Sethi senior and the salesman agreed on a price, only to have the salesman try to charge extra for the floor mats. When Prab Sethi refused to pay more, the salesman initially suggested he just get the mats at Walmart. Needless to say, they skipped the trip to Walmart, and came away with the original mats -- at no extra price.
"He didn't mind being a little uncomfortable," his son said.
Lesson No. 3: Ask for what you want.
Ramit Sethi often encourages his readership to "Negotiate like an Indian," which means, essentially, being up front about what you want.
"If you bargain like an Indian, what you're saying is that I'm willing to ask for what I want," he told the Times.

In an interview on America's Morning News radio program, Bachmann said that President Obama's policies have blocked development of America's energy resources and left the country increasingly dependent on foreign oil
"What Barack Obama has done is lock up America's energy reserves," Bachmann said. "We're the No. 1 energy-resource-rich nation in the world. We have more oil in three Western states in the form of shale oil than all the oil in Saudi Arabia. That doesn't include the Bakken oil field in North Dakota or the eastern Gulf region or the Atlantic or the Pacific or ANWAR or the Arctic region." By exploiting those resources, the nation could increase the supply of oil and other fuels, thereby reducing prices, while creating a bonanza of lucrative jobs, she said.
"We also have a brand-new natural gas find in Pennsylvania with over a trillion cubic feet of natural gas. We also have 25 percent of all the coal in the world," Bachmann said. "We just aren't accessing or utilizing our energy. Energy could be one of the most stable, accessible forms of resources for business in the United States.... And we would create millions of high-paying jobs instantly."
With the national average of gasoline prices around $3.50 a gallon today, the $2 price might seem like a distant memory. But Bachmann likes to remind audiences that it was lower than that little more than two and half years ago — on January 20, 2009, for example. "The price of gasoline the day that Barack Obama took office was $1.79 a gallon," she said. "If the price of gasoline was $1.79 a gallon just two and three years ago, certainly we can get it back down to that level again. Why wouldn't we be able to do that? We're a 'can-do' America."
Most presidential hopefuls this campaign season have avoided promising specific results and have spoken more in broad general terms of the policies they would follow if elected. But Bachmann, fresh from her win in the Ames Straw Poll a week ago, told an audience on South Carolina on Tuesday that lower gas prices will be a sure thing when she is in the White House.
"Under President Bachmann you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again," she said. "That will happen."
Oil experts expressed grave doubts that the kind of policies Bachmann espouses would produce the abundance of energy and low prices she envisions. Many of the factors affecting the price of oil in world markets are beyond the control of any President they say. In an interview with the Cable News Network's CNN Money, on Thursday, Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service, said the price of gasoline when Obama came into office was largely the result of a severe economic contraction.
"That was in the 4th inning of the greatest recession of our lifetime," said Kloza said. During recessions demand for gasoline drops as businesses suffer a drop in sales or, in some cases shut down. Trucks are taken off the road, companies cut back on travel, and laid off workers drive fewer miles. The economy, though still weak, has recovered somewhat since early 2009, Kloza said, and demand for oil has increased in the U.S. and has risen sharply in developing countries like China, India and nations in South America.
"We're going to have to recognize the rest of the world has this increasing appetite for oil," he said. "If we go below $2 a gallon, it probably means there has been a lot of wealth loss and we are in a deflationary period." Lower gas prices, however desirable they might seem, would not be accompanied by good economic news, Kloza said.
"You have to be careful what you wish for because the recipe for cheap prices these days is economic disaster," he said.
Even a large increase in domestic oil production would not have a significant impact on world oil prices, according to a 2009 study done by the government's Energy Information Administration. Opening up drilling areas off both U.S. coasts and the west coast of Florida would yield an extra 500,000 barrels a day by 2030, the study found, while the world consumption is expected to be 100 million barrels a day by then. And an increase in U.S. production would likely be offset by a cut back in oil from the OPEC nations to avoid an increase in supply that would result in lower prices. After OPEC had adjusted its production, the report predicted, the increase in the domestic supply would yield a price reduction of just a few cents per gallon.
Phil Hart, a senior market analyst at PFG Best, told CNN Money that measures taken to strengthen the weakening dollar could have a dampening effect on gas prices. And if the motoring public could be persuaded to drive fewer miles, that would weaken demand and reduce upward pressure on prices, he said. But he regards the $2 a gallon target as a long shot.
"I never say never," Flynn said. "But whether or not Bachmann can do that in four years is a tall order."
But the Minnesota Republican made it clear Friday morning, she is not about to back away from her bold campaign promise. "We have the supply. That's the good news. We have the resources," Bachmann said. "The problem has been that we have not been willing to access those resources. So if we increase supply obviously we'll be able to be a provider. We can be our own best customer and we can be a supplier to the world if we just choose to be. "

In 1993, the UN Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women offered the first official definition of the term Gender-based Violence:
Any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including
threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivations of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life. Gender-based violence has become
an umbrella term for any harm that is perpetrated against a persons will, and that results from power inequalities that are based on gender roles.
Around the world, gender-based violence almost always has a greater negative impact on women and girls. For this reason the term "Gender-based Violence"
is often used interchangeably with the term "Violence against Women" (VAW). GBV principally affects those across all cultures. GBV can occur throughout a
woman's lifecycle, and can include everything from early childhood marriage and genital mutilation, to sexual abuse, domestic violence, legal discrimination
and exploitation.
In what way should we meet women who have been victims of gender-based violence? It is extremely important to meet women who have been victims of
gender-based violence in a respectful and dignified manner.
Below we have collected some useful links about GBV:
This presents a collection of articles, websites etc. Youll find a wide choice of
more general documents - statements and definitions of the WHO or UN, as well as more specific ones
addressing f.ex the situation in some countries. Some cover Gender-based Violence all over, also included
is domestic violence against women (occurring all over the globe, also in peaceful countries). Some are more
specific concerning GBV in the context of war or conflict.
This represents a collection of manuals and guidelines, which try from different points of view to help field workers to cope with the aftermath of
GBV, the traumas and injuries of the survivors. Very often the focus here is aimed at situations during or after war/conflict. Therefore most of these
manuals are targeting more practical aspects of fieldwork, as for instance organizing a field camp. Some provide a lot of information about GBV.
Some try also to set focus on communication with the survivors, as the topic GBV is a very sensitive one and therefore sometimes difficult to approach
in contact with the survivor.
The effects of GBV are manifold and always severe. There are physical injuries that may remain, as chronic pain syndromes, muscle and skeleton damages,
infections, sexually transmitted diseases. In the recent years it has come more in focus that also the psychological effects are severe, sometimes more
serious than the physical ones. To name here PTSD(post traumatic stress disease)
in all its varieties, depression, panic disorders.
Here we try to present a collection of legal framework, which already exist. Especially The United Nations
agreement on some resolutions, which define the topic in a very solid mode, including suggestions on how to proceed.
Implementing these resolutions and agreements in the reality of
war-situations and preventing GBV from happening is the issue that is to be focused on. In response to persistent advocacy from civil society the UN Security Council has so far, adopted five resolutions on "Women, Peace and Security".
These resolutions are: Security Councils Resolution 1325 (2000); 1820 (2009); 1888 (2009); 1889 (2010) and 1960 (2011).
The five resolutions should be taken together under a single umbrella, as they comprise the Women, Peace and Security international policy framework.
They guide work to promote and protect the rights of women in conflict and post-conflict situations. Additionally, as binding Security Council resolutions, they should be implemented by all Member States and relevant actors, including UN system entities and parties to conflict.
There are many articles covering the topic of GBV in a more general meaning, here also
including domestic violence (occurring also in stabile countries). We are trying here to
collect some essays and articles, which are highlighting the specific problems concerning GBV in war and conflict zones
Gender equality cannot be achieved without the involvement of men and boys. But change is slowly taking place,
and men are increasingly working alongside women to support gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.
Female genital mutilation FGM represents a serious impact both to the physical and mental health of the affected women and girls. It is part of reality for many women around the world, to consider as quite severe not least because it is furthermore seen as normal in many ways of many of the involved persons. So it represents a major challenge to face because of the many background aspects which are to consider.
Human trafficking is called the practice of people being tricked, lured, coerced or otherwise removed from their home or country,
then forced to work with no or low payment, or on terms which are highly exploitative. The practice is considered to be the trade or commerce
of people, which has many features of slavery, and which is illegal in most countries. The victims of human trafficking are used in a variety
of situations, including prostitution and forced labor and other forms of involuntary servitude. The sale of babies and children for adoption
or other purposes is also considered to be trafficking. A wide variety of crimes and human rights abuses are associated with trafficking.
We have focused here on human trafficking concerning women and girls, as this represents a part of Gender-based Violence.

After weeks of playoff action, it's down to the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins. Scott Burnside and Pierre LeBrun answer these 10 burning questions for the Cup finals:
1. What can the Bruins do to make their power play more effective?
Burnside: Put Zdeno Chara and Tim Thomas in front of Roberto Luongo. Seriously? Chara's a living screen. Shoot the puck, boys, shoot the puck.
LeBrun: They're standing still. It's not just about puck movement, it's about bodies not being stationary. You need to move in order to free up better passing/shooting lanes.
2. How will Daniel and Henrik Sedin perform against Chara?
Burnside: Did you ever see the movie "The Invisible Man"?
LeBrun: They will continue to light it up, just as they did in the Western Conference finals against the San Jose Sharks.
3. Which player is your Conn Smythe Trophy front-runner heading into the Cup finals?
Burnside: Hard to argue against the hacking, diving, chirping Ryan Kesler despite the Canucks forward's hacking, diving and chirping.
LeBrun: Scotty took Kesler, so I will throw out a dark horse in Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo, who has been the best goalie in the playoffs since Game 7 of the first round against Chicago.
4. Which Tomas Kaberle will we see in the finals?
Burnside: Kaberle was pretty darn good in Game 7 against Tampa Bay, but he'll need to play more than seven or eight minutes a night at even strength to help take the pressure off Chara and Dennis Seidenberg, the Bruins' dynamic defensive duo.
LeBrun: I predict Kaberle will net two power-play points in the Cup finals, which I'm sure Bruins fans will take.
5. Which team has the goaltending advantage: Vancouver (Luongo) or Boston (Thomas)?
Burnside: Tim Thomas. Wait until Luongo lets in that first goal and see how much love he gets from the fans and media in the city that apparently recently invented hockey.
LeBrun: There is no advantage. Both enter the Cup finals with identical goals-against averages (2.29) and both were superb in clinching games in the conference finals.
6. Which player will be the leading scorer in the series?
Burnside: David Krejci. Boston's big line that includes hometown Vancouverite Milan Lucic and clutch goal-scorer Nathan Horton will provide a credible counterbalance to the Sedin line.
LeBrun: Henrik Sedin. The twins will continue their magic, especially on the power play.
7. What one move have coaches Alain Vigneault and Claude Julien not used in the postseason that you would like to see in the Cup finals?
Burnside: Neither has put a white towel on top of a stick despite some interestingly officiated games in which their teams have played.
LeBrun: Vigneault inserting Manny Malhotra into the lineup. How inspiring would it be to see the Vancouver forward return after a serious eye injury in March?
8. Which team had a tougher road to the Cup finals?
Burnside: Boston. With two seven-game series, including an excruciatingly close series against Tampa in the conference finals, it has been the most arduous trip.
LeBrun: Given the superiority of the Western Conference, anyone who doesn't say Vancouver needs help. San Jose and Chicago are among the top five teams in the NHL and Nashville isn't far behind.
9. How will the travel between the cities affect the teams?
Burnside: Teams? Who cares about the teams? What about the media? Just kidding! Vancouver is used to the travel, so look for Boston to try to adapt.
LeBrun: The Bruins will be more affected because they've been used to sleeping in their own beds for most of the season thanks to short trips in the East.
10. The Green Men or Dropkick Murphys?
Burnside: Depends. If you're talking creepy and annoying, the Green Men; if you're talking a rockin' good time, Dropkick Murphys. TD Garden kicks out the jams better than any other building on the circuit, by the way. Home-ice advantage. That, and the cake tray, too.
LeBrun: I'm sticking with SJ Sharkie. We made up and we're friends now.


text: Home Culture Alvin Greene Enrolls in Program to Avoid Obscenity Charges Meanwhile, he says he's still mulling a run for president. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: June 14 2011 3:48 PM 0 Alvin Greene (Getty Images) Former U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene was officially enrolled late last week into a yearlong pretrial intervention program that will drop a misdemeanor obscenity charge against him if he completes community service and counseling, the Associated Press reports. Greene was arrested in November 2009 after police said that he used an old college ID to get past dorm security and into a computer lab at the University of South Carolina. He was accused of showing a pornographic picture to a female student. Word of the criminal charges didn't emerge during the run-up to the Democratic primary a year ago, in which Greene, doing no campaigning, stunned an established party regular by taking 59 percent of the vote. They surfaced the day after Greene's victory, and he ended up with less than 1 percent of the vote when he ran for his local South Carolina House seat in a special election earlier this year. Last year, Greene's attorney said that his client's actions were a misguided attempt at flirting. Still unemployed and living with his ill father in his childhood home, Greene claims that he is still mulling a run for president. Evidently, meeting women isn't the only arena in which he's a bit tone deaf. Read more at the Washington Post and the Miami Herald. In other news: NFL Players' Negotiator Maintains Game Face.

City Councilman Michael Brown (I, at left) hopes to mount a challenge to incumbent Mayor Adrian Fenty (D) next year for the top job in Washington, D.C. city government.
The Brookland Heartbeat reports that in a recent speech, Brown listed video games among the top problems facing youth in D.C.:
Mr. Brown criticized Mayor Adrian Fenty and DC Public Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee… Mr. Brown also criticized the District's school modernization program for failing to address what he said were the real problems facing District youth: lack of vocational/technical schools, gunfire, excessive video game playing, and lack of neighborhood amenities such as grocery stores.
Until those problems are solved, "it doesn't matter how pretty the school is," said Mr. Brown…
GP: Ironically, in 2005, while still a member of City Council, Mayor Fenty unsuccessfully tried to legislate the sale of violent video games to minors in D.C.

It's opening day in Royals Land and optimism couldn't be higher, which means that I am personally pessimistic. That's just how I roll. I'm a Royals fan, and kind of live by the motto "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me 27 times….†Which is not to say that I'm down on my team, I love all of the players, coaches, fans, Hudlers, even the umpires. I believe that Alex Gordon will get MVP votes. I know that Sal Perez is rightly the most beloved catcher in my hometown since at least Duke Wathan, though he's unlikely to break that stolen bases record. Even if the bullpen regresses, which is almost a given, it will still be tops in the division and we've owned the head-to-head against the White Sox the last two years. Still: I'm skeptical of my team's ability to win. But I've never been less sure of being so unsure, if that counts for anything. I figure that today's column will look back to more glorious times in the hopes that I'm wrong about today.
1985. What a year. What a rotation! What heart-stopping must-win playoff holes dug into and climbed triumphantly out of! Number 5, what was that guy all about?! Denkinger! Iorg! Fountains! Those were heady days, my friends, and 9-year-old me was sitting right in that Olathe living room, watching every moment. It really was a terrific year. The story's been told: great pitching, no offense (well, that number 5 guy I was mentioning, but no one else), a couple of amazing moments and a dominating game 7. Voila! Trophy, banner, glory. Danny Manning was a Sophomore with huge potential. Stephone Paige and Deron Cherry were breaking records for another terrible Chiefs team, but hope was in the air as new starter Todd Blackledge won 3 of the final five games. Ugh, that sentence is just horrible, looking back. Woof.
But my beat is movies and TV. So we're also talking Cheers and Hill Street Blues. We're talking Dallas and VH1 and David Letterman's first top-ten list (top ten things that almost rhyme with 'peas'). Nick at Nite became a thing, as did Elmo and Farm Aid. Courteney Cox gave little Midwestern minds something to deride as she was the first person to say "period†on television in reference to menstruation. Gosh, this was a year of televised upheaval. Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman, Thundercats, Moonlighting, Small Wonder! The Dukes of Hazzard and The Jeffersons (of the East Side) were cancelled to make way for The Golden Girls and 227, MacGuyver and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Leaves turn, a time to reap, Royals win the world series.
But let's get down to it and call 1985 what it really was: one of the best years of film-making Hollywood has ever experienced.
Erik's Top Ten
The Goonies: I'll entertain conjecture of The Bad News Bears or A Christmas Story or My Girl or Stand By Me over Goonies, but I won't agree. Sandlot need not apply.
The Breakfast Club: Are you a Brain, an Athlete, a Basket Case, a Princess or a Criminal?
Back to the Future: I'm afraid you're just too darn loud.
Brazil: Still might be my favorite De Niro performance.
Ran: Amazing version of King Lear by Akira Kurosawa.
The Color Purple: One of the best novel-into-movie accomplishments of all time.
A Room with a View: This Daniel Day-Lewis kid may make it.
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure: Way ahead of its time.
Fletch: May be due to generational factors, but this may be my favorite comedy, pound for pound.
To Live and Die in LA: Ditto my favorite Cop Thriller.
Next top Ten:
After Hours: If Scorsese's most underrated isn't King of Comedy, it's this one.
Kiss of the Spider-Woman: We'll get to this one in a bit.
The Purple Rose of Cairo: Simple and just about perfect.
Fandango: Judd Nelson had a pretty good year.
My Life as a Dog: Lasse Halstrom is just a terrific director.
The Trip to Bountiful: Geraldine Page won an Oscar for this one. Amazing.
Lost in America: My favorite low-budget film of all time.
Cocoon: Would be nominated for Best Picture if made today. Clearly as good as the worst nominees from the last two years. Family-friendly blockbusters are rare today.
Twice in a Lifetime: Underrated simple flick with Gene Hackman and the great Ellen Burstyn. Also: Ally Sheedy had a pretty good year.
Static: I haven't seen this movie in maybe 15 years, but I loved it. Strange and well-acted (of course that may describe every great thing Amanda Plummer has ever done), it doesn't seem to be in print anymore and only available on VHS. But if you run into it, watch it.
Right there are maybe 15 of my top 200 movies of all time. All from one year. I'm not going to actually make a top 200 list any time soon, but this feels pretty special. And honestly it doesn't stop there.
Freakin' Gymkata was made in 1985, as were Vision Quest and American Flyers. Rocky kicked the entire Soviet Union's butt. I could even include such classics as Brewster's Millions (baseball), Teen Wolf (basketball) and Better Off Dead (skiing). All are great (well, Freakin' Gymkata's a stretch) and worth remembering.
A sidebar on the surprising assurgence of Kevin Costner:
We've mentioned Fandango, one of the great coming-of-age movies and American Flyers, one of a surprising number of 1980s bike-riding flicks. Also in 1985, Costner gave his best early-career performance in the barely-too-long western near-masterpiece Silverado.
The already-mentioned Back to the Future, Teen Wolf, Cocoon and Brazil would be enough to call this year a success. Add to those Weird Science, My Science Project, Re-Animator, Explorers, Enemy Mine and The Quiet Earth; suddenly 1985's a banner year. The Purple Rose of Cairo, for crying out loud. Even the bad ones are good in 1985. The "fantasy†subset of the genre even gives us Legend and Ladyhawke, though here the bad ones are terrible.
Jackie Chan gave three of his best in 1985. Sylvester Stallone released two. Not wanting to be left out, Schwartzenegger made sure Sully got the boot (for good measure, Yankee fans, he also gruesomely killed Vernon Wells). Two men entered, one man left. Runaway Train is underrated and I think you all know where I stand with Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins. If fighting the power is your thing, you can join Helen Slater or Timothy Hutton (who also had a pretty good year). Any attempt to encapsulate 1985 without The Journey of Natty Gann would be a total failure.
A note on 1985 Chuck Norris:
There is only one Chuck Norris movie ever made that is worth watching, and it's not anything he did in 1985.
Hooray for horror!
Dario Argento brought his A Game to Phenomena. Day of the Dead and Return of the Living Dead are both cult favorites, while Fright Night and Once Bitten are campy crap but fun. Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge is the second and last good entry in that series. I can see a sentimental nod going to Sam Raimi's Crimewave, but the rest of the genre was unimpressive in 1985. Even Micheal Moriarty couldn't make this one watchable. (Ghoulies, though… watch Ghoulies in Colorado or Washington State.)
Thrillers/Mystery Box:
I've got some soft-spot entries in the mystery section. Young Sherlock Holmes is one of Barry Levinson's best. Clue is a movie that will always stop my channel-surfing and ensure that I'm not doing anything else for two hours. Fletch: we'll get back to you later. 1985 was a pretty strong year for thrillers, as a whole. Friedkin nailed it with To Live and Die in L.A. Frankenheimer had a late-career direct hit with Michael Caine in The Holcraft Covenant and so did John Huston with Prizzi's Honor. After Hours is one of the first Scorsese films that I completely love. Even The Mean Season, Agnes of God and The Jagged Edge are strong entries.
You make me laugh:
Okay, let's talk about Chevy Chase. He was in mid-career form, here. European Vacation is roundly and justifiably mocked internet-wide. But this year also produced both Fletch and Spies Like Us. I've mentioned both Goonies and The Breakfast Club, the last two honest and perfect big Hollywood movies about kids (there have been honest movies since then, but they're flawed). I've also listed Brewster's Millions, Clue and Better Off Dead; then there's The Man with One Red Shoe, Real Genius, Summer Rental, Desperately Seeking Susan, The Sure Thing, Volunteers (1985 was the height of goofy-version Tom Hanks, too) and The Coca-Cola Kid.
Other than Silverado, which we've covered, there's not much here. We could talk about Rustler's Rhapsody which is unwatchable, but attention must be paid to Pale Rider. Clint was a terrific film-maker just coming into his voice, here, and Carrie Snodgress is terrific. Michael Moriarty had a busy year. I miss that guy.
Sturm und Drang:
Oh, the drama. So much of it. Dripping with pathos and hidden secrets, painful admissions and skeletons in pantries. We had Out of Africa for the old folks. We had The Color Purple for others who prefer their books on screen. Ran for those who love to read their movies (except the Japanese, of course; they could probably ignore the subtitles on this one). Witness taught us how to build barns. Mask taught us how a mustache should be worn. Sweet Dreams shows anyone who hasn't been paying attention just how good Jessica Lange and Ed Harris are. I'll get into just how good Raul Julia was when I do my Career Day entry on him later this month, but let me just say that Kiss of the Spider Woman is a must-watch for every person who breathes. Desert Hearts and The Trip to Bountiful are great little 20th-Century period pieces. A quick glance at the subset one might call "British Drama†would produce My Beautiful Laundrette, The Shooting Party, Plenty, Dance with a Stranger, The Good Father (I love that movie and can't find it anywhere) and Wetherby. All great movies, if you can locate them.
For the reader in all of us:
I've mentioned Ran and the Japanese film industry also produced the great Tampopo in 1985, but let's talk about the other great non-English-language movies of the year. Colonel Rendl is one of my favorite movies of all time. It stars Armin Mueller-Stahl and the terrific Klaus Maria Brandauer (he had a pretty good year) and is one of the best fall-of-the-Austro-Hungarian-Empire movies you're ever likely to see. For the Francophiles out there we've got Police, with great performances from Gerard Depardieu and Sophie Marceau; Jon-Luc Godard's Hail Mary was in 1985; also Rendez-vous because Juliette Binoche, that's why. Vagabond, directed by Agnes Varda is a simple and painful movie; wonderful. In other languages, there's When My Father Was Away on Business and My Sweet Little Village. Before researching this column, I'd had no idea how many of my favorite foreign films were released in this year (maybe because they didn't make it here until the 90s and I didn't see many of them until even more recently).
Some of the films I've listed above probably qualify as B-Movies, from Clue and Teen Wolf to Silverado and certainly Crimewave or Re-Animator. But these are also pretty clearly influential works that have stood the twin tests of time and homage. I'm more talking about movies that the studios didn't spend any money on (neither did audiences) and they've fallen through the cracks despite being pretty good flicks. Turk 182 qualifies under those parameters, as does Gotcha (Linda Effbommin' Fiorentino). The New Kids is the best street-gang amusement park thriller you'll ever see that stars James Spader and Lori Loughlin. White Nights and Just One of the Guys would be slotted in this category, as would St Elmo's Fire and A View to a Kill (yes, James Bond was relegated to B-Movie status from the early 80s to the mid-90s).
It's possible (likely, even) that in the very long time since 1985 (no playoff appearances for the Royals, two playoff wins for the Chiefs) there have been a number of tiny eras that produced more great movies than this one year. In my totally-unscientific research, however, I've not found one. I recommend every movie I've listed (though some come with caveats of context and some should only be watched in specific moods—or in Colorado/Washington State), and I wouldn't hesitate to rewatch any, myself. Many are available on Netflix Instant, most are in print on DVD or Blu-ray and all are worth your time. Get to it. Oh, yeah, and go Royals.
I'm sure you already know that this is currently streaming on Netflix and don't need my recommendation, but you have it, nonetheless. Get to it. Go Royals.

December 3, 2008
Frank Wilczek, winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics and an MIT physicist, will speak about his new book, The Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether, and the Unification of Forces (Basic Books), on Wed., Dec. 10, 2 p.m. at New York Universitys Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute (Seventh Floor Commons, 20 Cooper Square [between 5th and 6th Streets]).
The lecture, sponsored by the institutes Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program (SHERP), is free and open to the public. Call 212.998.7980 for more information. Reporters interested in attending must RSVP to James Devitt, NYUs Office of Public Affairs, at 212.998.6808.
The lecture is part of SHERPs Inside-Out speaker series, moderated by Robert Lee Hotz, science columnist with the Wall Street Journal and a distinguished writer in residence at the institute.
Wilczeks book is the first for the general public that lays out the new ideas he pioneered as a physicist. He explores the implications for basic questions about space, mass, energy, and the possibility of a fully unified theory of nature. Among the new ideas he considers is the theory that matter is built from almost weightless units and that space is a dynamic grid-a modern ether. He contends that we are tantalizingly close to unifying the fundamental forces of nature. A central theme of this book is that the ancient contrast between celestial light and earthy matter has been transcended. In modern physics, everything is unified into a being more like the traditional idea of light than the traditional idea of matter.

In or Out: Debra Messing in Michael Kors
Oh dear.
We wanted to like this. We were prepared to like this. We do not like this. Okay, first: can we say something about the Lady Bird Johnson hair? Debra, honey. What IS that? It's helmet-y and aging. We get that a gal wants to find something a little less showy if she's spent 20 years lugging around past-the-shoulder hair, but sweetie. This is not the way.
Next: this is a pretty great look all around; the fur jacket, the grey dress, the camel clutch and the sassy bangles. We're not in love with the shoes, but all in all, it's a well-put-together outfit. The problem is that skirt. Honey, if we were in the room the first time you tried this on, we would have shaken our heads, taken you aside, put our hands on your shoulders and gently whispered, "It's not the dress for you, dear. This is some other girl's dress. You have to let it go. You have to set it free to find that girl." We would be gentle, but very firm. If that didn't work, then we just would have said "Enh. Makes you look hippy."
She looks great from the side (helped by the aggressive posing -- when a gal's posing that hard, she knows the look needs all the help it can get), but from the front, with the way it's gathered and the kind of high slit; it just doesn't flatter her. We're not really sure it'd flatter anyone, but we're only concerned with Debra here and unfortunately, girl is OUT.

A Trip Of A Lifetime To Europe, ICN-LHR on KE
Hi and welcome to my second trip report about my travels to Europe. For those of you who want to read the background or just want to reread my first trip report. Here is the link
A Trip Of A Lifetime To Europe, AKL-ICN on KE
We were now in the arrivals hall at ICN airport and the first thing we needed to do was go over to a Korean Air desk to ask about our complimentary transit which includes a free hotel room plus meals at the Hyatt Regency Incheon Hotel.
When we got to the desk, the helpful lady informed us that we should go over to see a man who was doing the transit duties for KE. I moved over to the man who promptly gave us a KAL Transit Passenger sticker and our Hotel Vouchers and Meal Vouchers for Dinner & Breakfast which would be at the hotel & a Lunch voucher to be used at ICN Airport. The man also mentioned the shuttle would come in approximately 10 minutes.
In the meantime I bought some cheap Korean drinks and in no time we were on the shuttle which took about 3 minutes. Check in was quick & painless and we were soon in our room.
Legroom in Shuttle
The two comfortable beds
Work Desk
All in all, the room served its purpose very well and it's definitely a notch above the standard airport hotel. The beds were comfortable and the complimentary bottles of water were a nice touch. There are all the amenities you would need plus some nice extras that you wouldn't necessarily need (Pool, Casino) at the hotel and I had a very pleasant stay at the Hyatt.
Anyway after a quick shower it was time to have our complimentary dinner. When we arrived we were directed to a separate area of the dining room and asked if we would like either Korean or Italian. We choose Italian and I was surprised when the waiter didn't give us a menu and just gave us an appetizer.
It ended up being that their were no choices available and we just had to eat what was put in front of us. The meal included an appetizer, which consisted of a simple green salad, a main which was Rotini (Spiral) pasta with tomato sauce and a tiramisu for desert. Drinks were also included.
I would say the meal was average. The salad was good though you can't really get a salad wrong but the pasta just had a boring, bland taste. The pick of the bunch though was the tiramisu which was simply delicious
I was highly disappointed about this dinner service, The food was ok but the lack of a menu left a bitter taste in my mouth. I think it would be perfect if they decided to just make a small menu say 5 appetizers, 5 mains & 3 desserts. I apologise for the lack of pictures but I simply forgot to bring my camera down.
Anyway it was time to head back to our room and doze off in bed.
Sunday 16.09.2010
No need to wake up early as the flight's doesn't leave till 13.25 so at about 08.30 I made my way down to breakfast. I was preparing myself for another lack of choices meal but was pleasantly surprised when we got ushered to the breakfast buffet.
I definitely can't fault about a lack of choices this time around as It was probably the largest breakfast buffet I've ever seen. I don't think there was a single breakfast food that wasn't available.
Anyway after getting stuffed with all the food we decided to have a walk around the neighbourhood which pretty much consists of Hotels.
Hotel Corridor
Stepping Stones

Hotel Lobby
After our short walk it was about time for us to go to ICN Airport. We quickly packed our bags and went down to the lobby to wait for our shuttle. The Shuttle came shortly after and whisked us and quite a few Korean Air FA's to ICN Airport.
One last look at our Hotel.

Flying Time (actual): 11hrs 55mins (11hrs 55mins)
Seat: 56H
Type: Boeing 747-400
Reg: HL7495
Check-In & Observation Deck
As we already had our Boarding Passes which we got at AKL, we just needed to drop off our bags. The Bag Drop counter was empty and within five minutes we were on our way to the observation deck.
Before the trip I had a look at their website and apparently they had an observation deck on the 4th floor in a place called the AIRSTAR Terrace. Well I made our way up there and all there was, was a sheet of dirty glass in a place where there isn't really that much traffic. You can get just as good if not better views from the windows airside.

After the outing at the observation deck, we decided to use our lunch voucher. There were only 2 restaurants that you could use it at and really should've been called a snack voucher. All that was offered were little sandwiches or filled buns and it wasn't really a culinary delight. I guess it's acceptable because Lunch is offered on the flight but they really shouldn't mislead passengers and all it takes is to replace the word lunch with snack on the voucher.
Transportation Center
After our Snack or Lunch if your KE, I wanted to have a look at the futuristic looking Transportation Center. The main purpose of the Transportation Center is being the terminus of the Airport Railroad but it's drastically oversized and it's quite a nice place to have a walk.
Another thing they have in the Transportation Center is a Botanical Garden, which is pretty cool.
Exterior of Transportation Center with the futuristic Pod at the top.
After the walk around the gardens, I noticed that there were hundreds of people walking somewhere and judging by the TV Camera's, It looked like they were filming an ad/movie. I decided to take this as a cue to leave so I made my way back to the terminal.
Landside, Security & Airside
It was getting closer to our scheduled boarding time so we decided to go through Security. In true 5 Star fashion, Immigration & Security was very quick and we were soon out into the Airside Area and were surrounded with many high-end shops.
I have to say I was impressed by the cleanliness and how easy it is to get around the airport. I'll do a proper review of ICN Airport in the TR of the return leg as it was nearly time for boarding and I didn't really get a good look around the airside area of the airport.
Airside (Sorry about poor quality)
Anyway I found a seat near our gate and had a look at the planes and within 10 minutes boarding began
Here's the plane that's taking me to LHR
Nose Shot
As you may have seen, the aircraft that's taking us to London is HL7495. It is one of 17 747-400's in KE fleet and it's currently 14.8 years old.
I have to say that there is something about the 747 that will never get overtaken by the A380. The 747 looks so much more graceful than the A380 and the achievements that the Queen of the Skies have done over the years will never get surpassed by any aircraft.
Boarding started firstly for Premium Passengers but soon enough it was our turn to get in line and board the plane. We were greeted once again by smiling FA's at the door and made our way down to the back of the plane. My seat for this flight would be 56H, which is the last row on the plane. This is also where the seating arrangement changes to 2-4-2, which would be convenient for me as I was travelling with my father.
When I sat down, the one thing I noticed immediately was that there was a massive IFE Box covering most of the seat. I could put my feet to the side but that's not a really comfortable position so it did turn out to be a bit of a nuisance during the flight
IFE Box
Legroom is 34 inches.

We were all set to go when the PA system crackled into action. You could hardly understand it due to the lack of volume but I heard 20-minute delay and ATC over China so I assumed that meant we missed our slot or something.
The captain ended up being right and 20 minutes later pushback commenced. The taxi took a while considering our gate was the closest to the runway but we were eventually off into the sky with a nice powerful 747 takeoff.
Load for this flight was good, probably in excess of 95%. There were also quite a few people I recognised from the AKL flight.

Clearly avoiding North Korean Airspace.
Once the Initial ascent had finished the sky started to cloud up so I just decided to watch a movie on the PTV. I've already done a Review of KE's IFE in the first TR (Link at the top) but basically it's a good touchscreen system that kept me entertained on my flights with KE.
About one hour into the flight, the meal service began, Like on the first flight Honey Roasted Peanuts were given out first than the main meal service began.
The choices were either Beef with Vegetables or Korean Pork. I opted for the beef. The meal also included a salad with tomatoes, a bun & some sort of Orange cake. The main was nice & tasty especially the beef which tasted delicious. The salad was also pretty good though the Cake was a bit of a letdown. Firstly it tasted funny and also the cake was hard so it was quite tough to eat. Overall though, the meal was good. Tea & Coffee were offered shortly after the meals were distributed.
The meal
The meal trays were cleared pretty quickly and the lights were dimmed shortly afterwards. At that time it was a whiteout outside but about 15 minutes later we were treated with views of Mongolia.
And now sunshine
Over Mongolia
After the first meal service not that much happened and I mostly just rested while watching a couple of movies. Immigration Cards were handed out and the cabin crew occasionally came down the aisles checking that everything was all right.
This is Lake Baikal, The oldest & deepest lake in the world.
About halfway through the flight, I was surprised when an FA came around a snack basket. This didn't happen on the AKL-ICN flight, which is technically longer. In the basket there was an assortment of biscuits, chips and onigiri. I choose the onigiri which for those of you who don't know, It is a Japanese Rice Triangle with some sort of filling inside. The onigiri was pretty good and it was nice to have a mid-flight snack. A water/juice run happened shortly after.
Over the Ural Mountains
Contents of Seat Pocket
About 2 Hours before we were scheduled to land, dinner service began. Hot towels were given out first then the main meal which was a choice between Bimimbap or Pasta. As I had eaten Bimimbap on the AKL-ICN flight, I choose the pasta. The main dish included chicken & an assortment of Vegetables & the sides included a Bun, a Celery Salad with tomato and Melon.
The main course was good, The pasta and the chicken were both cooked to perfection and they complimented each other very well but the vegetables weren't very good. The salad was all right while the melon was pretty tasteless and Ice cold but I'm not really a fan of Melon.
After the meal service, I read my book, went to the loo and before you knew it you could see the coast of England coming by.
I believe this is somewhere in Sweden
Bad Cabin Shot
Coast of England
Wind Turbines
Coast of England again
The town of Witham
The M25-M11 Junction.
When I had selected my seats for this flight, I had specifically chosen the right side of the aircraft knowing that that side usually provides good views of Central London. I was delighted when these views came into fruition though unfortunately the Sun ruined any shots of the City of London but I was able to get good shots of the Westminster Region.
This is meant to be the City of London
London Eye
Houses of Parliament & Hyde Park
You can see Horse Guards Parade (The Brown Square) and Trafalgar Square (at the top right)
One more shot.
Overview of London.
Stamford Bridge, Home of Chelsea F.C
On Final Approach we passed the usual array of British Townhouses and landed on Runway 27L. We then taxied to Terminal 4 where I would first set foot on British soil.
Next Door to a CI A343
London Heathrow Airport
I gathered my belongings, thanked the crew for the nice flight and made my way through the jet bridge to LHR Terminal 4. I first thoughts of the terminal was that it was cramped but Customs & Immigration was quick & painless and our baggage didn't take too long so really the arrivals experience wasn't too bad. I was soon out at landside and on the tube to our hotel.
So that Concludes my second trip report. Once again KE offered excellent service in the air & on the ground.
The transit was a little bit different and probably wouldn't work with anybody on a tight schedule but for leisure passengers like us, It was perfect. There were a few things that they could improve upon but overall it was a nice, stressfree & comfortable break between flights. Also I don't think that this type of transit would cost more than a usual transit as everything was provided for us(food, accommodation etc.) and the only place you're likely to spend money at is at the airport which you would probably do anyway on a standard transit so Kudo's to Korean Air for that.
As for the flight, KE excelled once again and they truly were a pleasure to fly with. The IFE, food & service were all excellent and the only thing that really bothered me on this flight was the IFE Box.
I hope that you enjoyed my TR and please feel free to comment and give any feedback.
My next report will be on a JK B717!

Media Definitions of Cold War Reality
Article excerpt
Walter C. Soderlund
Toronto: Canadian Scholars' Press, 2001, xvi, 312pp, $39.95, ISBN 1-55130-200-4.
A student beginning PhD studies in 2002 will scarcely remember the cold war. She would have been perhaps twelve years old when the Berlin Wall fell and 14 when the Soviet Union ceased to be. For her, her classmates, and anyone younger than them, the cold war really is history.
Media Definitions of Cold War Reality could have been written with the post-cold war generation in mind. This collection of 15 articles by Soderlund, often with co-authors, examines media treatment of the cold war in the Caribbean Basin (Central America and the Caribbean). The cases range from the 1953 crisis in British Guiana to events in Haiti in 1993. As media reports focus on leaders, we again meet Cheddi Jagan, Carlos Castillo Armas, Juan Bosch, and Maurice Bishop; of course, Fidel Castro has a prominent role.
The studies themselves follow a standard methodology, facilitating comparisons. …

Record Reactions: Blink-182 – Dogs Eating Dogs EP
Blink-182 takes a lot of flak. After an illustrious career as the pop-punk band that no one took seriously, the trio had to hurdle some obstacles. Over the years, they have dealt with a breakup, internal conflict, a six-year hiatus, a plane crash, and worst of all, a finicky fan base with stratospheric expectations.
As a result, Blink-182 is a complex band. The music they make, while poppy and accessible on the surface, is in reality complex in its motivations and its difficult to listen to, and even to pass judgment on.
I used to be the biggest Blink-182 fan in the world, and I still am. I consider them talented songwriters – they have an uncanny ear for hooks, catchy tunes, and a confidence to pursue their ideas with abandon. But it's undeniable that, since their hey-day in the age of MTV, they've recalibrated their sound.
Tom DeLonge, guitarist and lead singer for the group, took his time in the post-breakup hiatus to hone a new, poppier sound. Travis Barker, the band's ever-versatile drummer, pursued more projects with hip-hop. And Mark Hoppus found himself the star of his own TV show on Fuse – his influence is the only one left relatively unfettered.
Since Blink-182's reunion LP Neighborhoods, everything the band has put out has been an amalgam of these three wildly different influences. They hit on many different styles across the five songs of this EP: stadium rock jams, fast punk grooves, and even a bit of acoustic balladry. These three have done a lot of growing over the years, and now they're proving it, with wildly different writing styles on every song, yet still coming together under the classic umbrellas of pop and punk.
Dogs Eating Dogs, the new EP from the group, is more of the same. It features bursts of ethereal synths and heart-on-sleeve lyrical content, interlaced with hip-hop and pop-hop beats and sounds, but it is all funneled through that same old pop-punk sensibility. The result is a sound that may be a little uncertain, but is in no way a disappointing listen.
The title track "Dogs Eating Dogs" is equivalent to the song "Hearts All Gone" on Blink's last LP Neighborhoods – the last semblance of that old style before Tom went all synth-balladeer. Hoppus always seems to retain the old fast, hard, fun punk roots of Blink's sound.
Opener and likely standout "When I Was Young" is a perfect example of Blink, with all its new parts working at near-optimum levels. Tom's influence is noticeable: a shinier vocal delivery and some light little synths. But when the track kicks in, it boasts a powerful and catchy chorus, complete with those harmonies fans of Blink have come to love so much. That track, as well as album closer "Pretty Little Girl," are the most definite statements Blink makes on this EP. Look out for the guest spot from Yelawolf tagged on at the end of "Pretty Little Girl."
Pop-punk's literal definition is music characterized by "frustration combined with sunny hooks." If that's the case, then this the new Blink isn't making as much of a change as people are saying. They're just trying something new.
Detractors may point to inconsistent writing, a poppier sound, and a gimmicky guest verse from a rapper. But fans will look past that to see what this EP really is – just a talented group, trying to make some music that's fun and that sounds cool. Just like they always have.
And I'm not going to say anything about the cover art. But that's questionable.

Frederick G. Gyllich, a barber at Freehold, died of consumption on Saturday August 10th. He was unmarried and boarded at Mrs.
William Wyncoop's. He had no relatives in this country and the family with whom he boarded looked after his burial. He was a
member of the Knights of the Golden Eagle lodge at Freehold and he received a benefit sufficient to pay his funeral expenses.
He went to Freehold three years ago to work in Charles Frey's barber shop. Shortly afterward he entered the secret service branch

block. From letters found among his effects it was learned that he has a mother in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I have the privilege of working on a daily basis with some fantastic Eloqua customers. I'm constantly amazed by the creative ways they find to use our platform to automate processes, make their organizations more efficient and effective. These success stories energize me throughout the year, but the grand culmination of this feeling happens during the Markie Awards ceremony. When one of my customers gets to walk up on stage and accept their Markie statue, I'll admit, I get choked up.
All of us love to be rewarded and recognized for our work and I'm so proud to work for a company that does this for our customers on such a grand scale. Each year at our Eloqua Experience global user conference we spend an evening celebrating our customers' achievements at a dinner and awards ceremony to hand out these prestigious Markie Awards recognizing excellence in marketing. It's a little bit like our own version of the Oscars, complete with our emcee (CEO Joe Payne) in a tuxedo.
Did you know that the Markie statue was designed by the same company the designed the Emmy Award? And did you know that it weighs a whopping 25 pounds? This is some serious hardware that looks great on your company's trophy wall, or – if you can manage it – fantastic on your desk. But more than the hardware, it's the celebration of hard work and measurable results. It's that shining moment when all of the slogging for the last year fades away and you can revel in the fact that you did something that made a difference.
There are twenty categories this year that cover a wide range of marketing disciplines. There truly is one that will fit you – take a look. From "Marketing and Sales BFF" (so much more fun than Sales and Marketing Alignment) to "One View of the Truth", from "Extraordinary Email" to "Marketing Center of Excellence" we have awards that look at the results of a single campaign, and some that take at least a year of effort to master. Our Markie finalists will also have the chance to share their stories with their peers at special tracks and events throughout Eloqua Experience.
The deadline for entering a submission is July 30 and that's when our fun begins at Eloqua. It's a blast to read through all of the incredible stories and results we receive. I think that one of the hardest parts of the process lies in the hands of the judging panel who must pick among so many worthwhile entries. This year that panel includes a distinguished group of experts from our advisory board who will select the ultimate winners.

OK. So, which part of that is incorrect? You can certainly use modeling tools to show a logical data model, but the logical model is specified to the computer by way of a language that implements a data model (such as the RM). If that is not correct, please indicate what is incorrect. Thanks. --dawn Received on Sun Feb 12 2006 - 17:26:14 CST

A delegation of the European Coalition for Vision (ECV) visited DG SANCO and EUROSTAT in Luxemburg
The European Coalition for Vision (ECV) delegation travelled to Luxembourg on 1 April 2014 to meet with representatives of the European Union (EU)'s Directorate General for Health and Consumers (DG SANCO) and EUROSTAT, the statistical office of the EU. The delegation was an excellent opportunity to exchange views on the importance of eye health and vision as a public health priority and the visit aimed to reiterate ECV's call to European decision-makers to include eye health and vision in the European political agenda.
The European Coalition for Vision (ECV), is an alliance made up of professional bodies, patient groups, European NGOs, disabled people's organisations and associations of health technology providers representing suppliers. The coalition exists to raise the profile of eye health and vision, help prevent avoidable visual impairment and secure an equal and inclusive society for those with irreversible blindness or low vision in Europe.
As stressed by Bob Chappell, Past President of the European Council of Optometry and Optics, "Europe is facing an invisible epidemic, with an estimated 20.4 million people in the whole of Europe suffering from serious vision impairment - including 2.3 million who are blind. Without adequate action, these worrying numbers will only increase with the rise of diabetes and the ageing population."
The aim of both meetings was to present the work of the ECV, including the ECV election manifesto and have a mutual exchange of views with EU officials.
Morning ECV visit at DG SANCO
Zoe Gray, Advocacy Manager for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness :
"For way too long eye health and vision has been neglected. For starters, it could begin promoting more accessible eye care for all and providing improved and timely rehabilitation services - measures that would go a long way to improve the lives of those at risk of and those with vision impairment."
In the morning, the ECV delegation visited the Directorate C (Public Health) and had a meeting with the Acting Director, John F. Ryan and representatives of the 4 Units of the directorate (C1 - Programme Management and Diseases, C2 - Health Information, C3 - Health Threats, C4 - Health Determinants)
The ECV delegation explained during the visit that according to available data, the main causes of moderate and severe visual impairment and of blindness in Europe are Cataract, Uncorrected Refractive Error, Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma and Diabetic Retinopathy. All five conditions are important in all countries of Europe and so public health efforts in Europe should focus upon prevention, as well as the early identification and treatment of these and other eye conditions.
The ECV delegation explained that as a global political commitment, in 2013, the WHA adopted a new global action plan for the prevention of avoidable blindness and visual impairment for the period 2014-2019, with targets and indicators aimed at significantly reducing avoidable blindness worldwide.
Some of the most serious conditions for sight loss fall within the scope of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Given the increasing priority made by governments and intergovernmental actors on NCDs, decisive action must be taken now to include eye health within NCD control and prevention. There are other relevant EU policies which tackle the proven risk factors of some causes of blindness, focusing on addictive and harmful substances and behaviours (smoking, alcohol) and others which encourage healthy lifestyles and behaviours (nutrition and obesity, sport and physical activity, active and healthy ageing). As people age they are more likely to experience refractive error and eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration. An estimated 4 in 10 people over the age of 70 have a disabling vision disorder.
The solutions require responding to these epidemiological, environmental and demographic challenges, including providing early screening and timely intervention, tackling health inequalities so that financial costs and other barriers do not impede access, and promoting eye health across the health continuum, from prevention to rehabilitation.
A number of professions are engaged in delivering eye health services across Europe, such as opticians, optometrists, ophthalmologists and allied ophthalmic personnel. It is important to note their crucial role since maintaining visual capacity enables people to enjoy a better quality of life.
Afternoon visit at EUROSTAT
Jean-Felix Biosse Duplan, President of Vision Impact Institute :
"Data collection is crucial to better appreciate the magnitude of the issue we face, as well as to develop more efficient solutions to it. Specific indicators should be coordinated and monitored by EU Member States so that EUROSTAT can deliver tangible, interlinked and clear data. This would also help assess results of public health policies to tackle eye health and vision impairment across Europe."
In the afternoon, the ECV delegation met with Eurostat officials who presented them with the current work of Eurostat relevant for eye health. The ECV delegation gave a presentation on vision and eye health explaining that two-thirds of visual impairment in Western Europe is avoidable - it can be treated and sight restored, but inadequate and inequitable services mean 8.5m people in Western Europe live with a disabling vision problem.
Taking the example of diabetes, 30 million diabetic patients in the EU may increase to 35 million by 2030. Moreover, 1 in 3 of diabetics has some form of Diabetic Retinopathy and 1 in 10 diabetics has a sight threatening version of it. The data clearly shows that no action is not an option anymore.
The ECV delegation emphasised for Eurostat that the European Coalition for Vision has come together to call on the European Union institutions to use their power and influence to support our work in addressing these challenges.
Visual impairment has a significant economic and social impact: eye health research is therefore crucial to measure that burden, so it is possible to adequately respond and tackle avoidable blindness by providing appropriate programming and policies to promote the inclusion and independence of people who have vision impairment: robust eye health data could re-shape the current set of European health indicators which for now exclude vision.
European Coalition for Vision (ECV) European Elections Manifesto 2014
"Europe is facing an invisible epidemic and we need your help."
ECV European Elections Manifesto 2014 : a call to action for Members of the European Parliament (MEP) :
How to sign the ECV Manifesto?
Read the European Coalition for Vision (ECV) European Elections Manifesto 2014
Who can sign the election manifesto?
Current Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) standing for re-election, new MEP candidates and interested stakeholders, private persons and organisations who are committed to improve eye health throughout Europe and contribute to prevent avoidable vision impairment.

Glaucoma describes a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve. This degenerative eye disease is one of the leading causes of chronic blindness in the United States. Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma.
Open-angle glaucoma can often be controlled well with proper treatment, and most patients who receive treatment will maintain their vision.
Open-angle glaucoma is caused by increased intraocular pressure. Within the eye, fluid is made and then drained from the eye. If either the fluid is made too quickly (not common) or drains too slowly, then the pressure of the eye can increase, leading to damage to the optic nerve.
This damage to the optic nerve can lead to a decrease in peripheral vision and may eventually cause blindness.
Risk Factors
The risk of glaucoma increases with age. Glaucoma is more common in African American and Hispanic people. Other factors that may increase your chance of getting glaucoma include:
- Family history of glaucoma
- Glaucoma in one eye—This increases the risk of developing glaucoma in the other eye.
- Increased intraocular pressure
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Migraine
- Injury to the eye
- Certain eye abnormalities, such as congenital defects
Many patients with open-angle glaucoma experience few or no symptoms until the disease has progressed to the very late stages. Visual symptoms may include:
- Loss of peripheral vision
- Tunnel vision
- Blindness
- Rainbows or halos
Other symptoms may include:
- Red eyes
- Headache
- Nausea or vomiting
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
- Eye exam with pupil dilation
- Tonometry—a test to determine intraocular pressure
- Visual field test to determine vision loss
- Slit lamp examination—the use of a low-power microscope combined with a high-intensity light source, allows a narrow beam that can be focused to examine the front of the eye
- Photographs of the optic nerve
- Gonioscopy—to examine the outflow channels of the angle
- Analysis of the nerve fiber layer around the optic nerve
The goal of treatment is to reduce intraocular pressure. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
- Medications:
- Eye drops, and rarely pills, are often administered to reduce intraocular pressure
- They work by reducing the amount of fluid eye produced or increasing the flow
- They may cause side-effects
- Talk to your doctor about your specific medication
- Laser treatment
- Laser treatment may be used to reduce intraocular pressure
- It works by increasing the flow of fluid
- This is used along with medications.
- Surgery—Surgery may be done to open a new outflow channel from the eye.
Open-angle glaucoma cannot be prevented. However, it is important to get regular eye exams to screen for glaucoma and other conditions that can affect your vision. Talk to your doctor about how often your eyes should be examined.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I wish to clarify.1. The RCW allows us to lien the vessel without judgement but only for two months rent? 2. If we wish to foreclose, we must have a judgment? Or can we file for ownership due to abandonement and then sell or auction the vessel. 3. If the owner comes back and pays two months rent we cannot lien the vessel and he can take it?
We have also filed a claim, but the court date is another 4 months away. We cannot afford to pay his continuing moorage.
Alright Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX just hard to understand the legaleze of the RCW.
I do not wish to keep the boat , I just wish to foreclose , sell it and get our due moorage. But do I still need a legal judgement or is the Lien for two months enough to start foreclosure?
I need to notify by certified mail the owner of notice to foreclose, and then I can apply for title and sell the vessel. If I receive more than the amount due plus reasonable expenses to sell the vessel, I must try to return the difference to the owner?
Last questions. I appreciate your replys and I will accept the next answer. Thanks again.

By Oene Rusticus
ST. MORITZ, Switzerland, January 30. LAST month, when the French sports newspaper L'Equipe proclaimed that Russian sprinting great Alex Popov was retiring, the Czar denied the report, saying he had nothing to say on that topic.
It turns out, like Frank Sinatra, Popov wanted to do the deed his way. And, not surprisingly, his way turned out to be a classy way.
This evening there was a formal dinner to honor the Russian superstar upon his retirement. Among the guests: Australia's Ian Thorpe, Holland's Inge De Bruijn and Prince Albert of Monaco. Michael Phelps was also invited, but he remained at home in Michigan, pleading illness.
The dinner was part of a larger event, organized by one of Popov's sponsors (and employer), the Swiss watchmaker Omega, which was built around the Bobsled World Cup competition. Popov and Thorpe took part in a celebrity bobsled race and Thorpe pronounced the 95 mph ride down an icy Swiss slope "amazing."
"You start off and you think you are going to slow down, but it just gets faster and faster," he said.
Amazing or not, Thorpe said that despite his affinity for water, he has no intention of switching to a sport based on the frozen version of that substance.
Actually, Thorpe has yet to announce whether or not he will compete in this summer's swimming World Championships, wherever they may be held. He is, however, headed to Jacksonville, Florida, where he has been invited to see next Sunday's Super Bowl football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots, before returning to Sydney.

Protective orders — often called restraining orders — are legal orders issued by Missouri state courts. These orders require one person to stop harming another. They are designed to protect adults and children against violent or harassing behavior.
At Stange Law Firm, PC, we understand how the law can affect Missouri families. Our knowledgeable lawyers counsel clients on what decisions to make when seeking or defending against orders for protection. We also stand up for them in court, working hard to protect their rights.
If you or someone you care about has become the victim of domestic violence, it may be possible to take legal action to make the violence stop. You may qualify for a protective order against a household member.
Many different family violence victims — both adults and children — qualify for an order for protection against a household member:
- Spouses
- Live-in girlfriends and boyfriends
- Ex-spouses
- Parents, both married and unmarried
- Same-sex partners
We represent these people. We also represent people who are wrongly accused of causing domestic violence. Regardless of who you are or what your situation, domestic violence can touch your life in ways you never intended.
What Happens if an Order for Protection is Violated
If an order for protection is violated, the consequences can be serious. Violators can be arrested and prosecuted for a crime. They may also face a contempt of court action and be held in contempt of court. If the violation involves the failure to surrender child custody of a child, the child involved will be turned over to the custodial parent — and the violator will be arrested.
Stange Law Firm, PC has written articles on the topic for you to read:
