The leader of Glasgow City Council has declared staying in Europe is in both the city and the UK's best interests.
Labour's Frank McAveety said he is putting his "full support" behind the Scotland Stronger in Europe campaign, which is urging Scots to vote to stay in the European Union (EU) in June's referendum.
Voters across the country go to the polls on June 23 to decide if the UK should continue to be part of the EU or not.
Mr McAveety, who leads Scotland's largest local authority, said he sees "the benefits of being part of the EU on a daily basis".
He stated: "Much of our work to encourage business and regeneration is underpinned by European funding.
"The ties and contacts made with our European neighbours provide further benefits still.
"Another of our priorities is creating jobs in the city.
"Many of the workers' rights we enjoy - paid holidays, equal rights for part-time workers and maternity and paternity leave - are enshrined in EU law."

He continued: "The risks and uncertainties associated with Brexit should not be underestimated.
"Uncertainty is bad for any economy, creating difficulties for public services like the NHS and education, and threatening the support and rights we currently enjoy.
"Last week, Glasgow City Council analysed a non-political paper which explored possible outcomes should the UK vote to leave.
"The cross-party consensus was clear; it is better for Glasgow and better for the UK to remain part of the European Union.
"I believe that it is in Glasgow's interests for the UK to remain in the EU.
"I therefore have no hesitations putting my full support behind Scotland Stronger in Europe."
A spokesman for the Scotland Stronger In Europe campaign said: "It's good news that Glasgow looks like being an 'In city'.
"Being in the European Union helps deliver social justice and economic prosperity.
"Civic leaders across the parties have studied the facts and come to the clear conclusion that staying in Europe is the right choice for Glasgow and Scotland."

As you can see, a lot of thought goes into choosing the right Uber accessories, as that will have the single greatest influence on how your riders perceive the riding experience. We hope that this guide has been able to give you some ideas on how you can improve that experience for your customers.
From products that improve the safety of everyone in the car like first aid kits to little quality of life accessories like air fresheners, everything plays its role in your vehicle. Thank you for taking the time to read over my guide.
Whenever there is a problem that needs to be solved within a company and the owners cannot do anything about it, then the only solution is to turn to people that have authority like council at the City Hall. I have been a part of such event before because I had many years of experience as a driver, so I can explain it to you the importance of this rally . First of all, what you need to understand is that every driver and employee of the company you are working for wants the same thing as you do and that is better working standards.
This means that you have to work together to achieve some changes, you alone won't be able to do anything, but if all of you or the majority of drivers stand together, they can have a really loud message that will be heard across the country. The council at the City Hall is the only place that can make some really huge changes that will affect your future, so if you have an idea that can work, you have to make a proposal for that idea.
The more people you gather to come with you to this even the better will be for the outcome because the council will realize that you are all dealing with a great issue that needs to be solved. They know that if they don't do something about it, you will never stop complaining and making problems for them. They don't want to see you protest at the City Hall, so they will do anything to get rid of you all. In some cases, the problem will be solved another way that you didn't expect it. The key thing is to work together with your co-workers and create a working environment that you are satisfied with.
In most cases, these are very big events where few hundred people are gathering to share one message with the council. The goal of these events is to make some changes to the system that will benefit the drivers in the future.
As a driver for some rideshare company such as Uber or Lyft, you will be experiencing all kinds of problems . Luckily for you, there are some meetings that are specially designed for drivers to gather and share some of their experience with each other as well as the owners of the company. These meetings are essential for a huge company such as Uber because they want to have happy and satisfied drivers.
Recall that by taking the expected value of various transformations of a random variable, we can measure many interesting characteristics of the distribution of the variable. In this section, we will study an expected value that measures a special type of relationship between two real-valued variables. This relationship is very important both in probability and statistics.
As usual, our starting point is a
random experiment
probability measure
on an underlying
Palladium Baggy Low Lp Women's Desert Boots Pink Garnet Rose/Silver Birch 655 UhRLtQwI2
. Unless otherwise noted, we assume that all expected values mentioned in this section exist. Suppose now that X and Y are real-valued random variables for the experiment with Shoe Closet Ladies Black Faux Suede Barely There Strappy Sandals Peep Toes High Heels Black 67Fm7w1ns
\E(X) , \E(Y) and variances \var(X) , \var(Y) , respectively.
The of (X, Y) is defined by \cov(X, Y) = \E\left(\left[X - \E(X)\right]\left[Y - \E(Y)\right]\right) and, assuming the variances are positive, the of (X, Y) is defined by \cor(X, Y) = \frac{\cov(X, Y)}{\sd(X) \sd(Y)}
Correlation is a scaled version of covariance; note that the two parameters always have the same sign (positive, negative, or 0). When the sign is positive, the variables are said to be positively correlated ; when the sign is negative, the variables are said to be negatively correlated ; and when the sign is 0, the variables are said to be uncorrelated . Note also that correlation is dimensionless, since the numerator and denominator have the same physical units, namely the product of the units of X and Y .
As these terms suggest, covariance and correlation measure a certain kind of dependence between the variables. One of our goals is a deep understanding of this dependence. As a start, note that \left(\E(X), \E(Y)\right) is the center of the joint distribution of (X, Y) , and the vertical and horizontal lines through this point separate \R into four quadrants. The function (x, y) \mapsto \left[x - \E(X)\right]\left[y - \E(Y)\right] is positive on the first and third of these quadrants and negative on the second and fourth.

Into the Night (John Landis, 1985)
6 comments:
- AnonymousJune 12, 2015 at 2:35 AM
I watched this on Cinemax or The Movie Channel back in the 80s. All I really remember about it was that there wasn't as much nudity in it as I hoped there would be. I might have to watch it again.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, except for some blink and you'll miss it Michelle Pfeiffer side and back nakedness, there's not nudity to speak of. But the film is an excellent mid-80s time capsule of affluent L.A. after dark.Delete
Nice review. I love this film mostly for what it conveys around the edges of the "wacky caper" plot - the excessiveness of it all, with the cars, the cameos, the sudden blood/gore, Landis's performance. It's a fever dream that must have been born of cocaine, it's that kind of movie, the perfect mid-80s comedy after Landis had done Vic Morrow in (Twilight Zone) and was on the brink of self-destruction.ReplyDelete
Second, it's a weirdly affectionate poisoned love letter to LA. The landscapes (suburban as well as neon-lit), the cars, the up-all-night aspect of it. Goldblum seems to sleepwalk through it (he has terminal insomnia in it which only adds to the dreamlike quality of his performance). The sincere if shiny-fake style shows the best of Landis's talents, as well as exposing the worst of it. It's too much and a blast.
Keep up the good work!
Nice comment.Delete
I read that John Landis cast himself as SAVAK goon at the last minute because the actors playing his fellow goons weren't funny. Or, to put it another way, they weren't as funny as he had hoped.
Yes, Roger nailed it, that's exactly what it is, his love letter to LA. When this first came out a friend of mine who crewed on it brought a VHS promo of the movie over to my house by Sunset Blvd, right behind the Palladium. He was so excited about the movie and said we HAD to watch it. He also had this huge bag of coke which wasn't my trip at the time but I remember him sitting behind my desk with all that blow and we watched the film and not 10 minutes into it I was sold. I think it is far more impacting for those that live or lived in LA. A masterpiece that will never get it's just due, I never tire of pulling this one off the shelf and might have to do it tonight, LOL - Thanks Yum Yum!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Coke was everywhere back then. In fact, if you look closely, you can see a cocaine shaker sitting next to the salt and pepper in the diner Amy Heckerling works. ;)Delete

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
This project tried to analyze how Japanese and Chinese saw themselves and their enemy, how those perceptions influenced their policy-makings, how policy-makers' perceptions acted upon the structur of interntional society.Hata asked why Japanese and Chinese failed to limit the Lugouqioconflict. Althought Hata agrees that Japanese China policy since Meiji-period made the disaster, he found that there were many psychological factors involved, misperceptions, miscalculations, distrust, hostility, for example.He reconstructed series of events of first three weeks just after the Lugouqiao incident, found that there were indicision on both sides, that Chinese distrusted Japanese policy-makers, miscalculated mutual military powers, that Japanese misunderstood Chinese intents, distrusted Guomingtang foreign policy, and filnally hostility on both sides made the crisis mismanaged.Yumoto found that there were some chinese intellectuals who caluculated how much economic resources and infrastructures chinese needed to win the war, insisted Chinese could not go into the war until they achieve modernization. Yumoto thinks that their voices influenced Chinese policy-makers.

The Committee considered the initial report
of Nepal (CEDAW/C/NPL/1) at its 434th and 439th
meetings, on 15 and 18 June 1999 (see CEDAW/C/SR.434
and 439).
(a) Introduction by the State party
The representative of Nepal informed the Committee
that there was an addendum to the initial report
of Nepal, which highlighted developments since
the submission of the report in May 1997. He
noted that in the past nine years, Nepal had
ratified several international treaties, including
those dealing with human rights. In conformity
with the provisions of those instruments, Nepal
had abolished the death penalty. The Nepal Treaties
Act of 1990 provided that the provisions of
an international treaty to which Nepal was a
party, which was inconsistent with a national
law, should supersede the national law to the
extent of such inconsistency. Several decisions
of the Supreme Court had also determined that
such inconsistencies should be resolved in accordance
with treaties.
The representative informed the Committee that
human rights in Nepal had developed on the basis
of equality. He noted that part three of the
Constitution of Nepal addresses fundamental
human rights. Despite those constitutional provisions,
both de jure and de facto discrimination
still existed in Nepal. Statutes based on traditional
practices and customs that were discriminatory
and inconsistent with the present Constitution
still existed, including the Muluki Ain,
which restricted women from independent use
of their property and inheritance of parental
The representative noted that although women
constituted 9.2 million, or 50.13 per cent of
the total population of 18.5 million, Nepalese
women faced sociocultural and economic discrimination
and there were no female ministers in the present
cabinet of Nepal. He informed the Committee
that Nepal was multi-ethnic, multilingual and
diverse, thus the status of women varied between
ethnic communities. However, the traditional
system of most communities in Nepal was patriarchal.
The representative noted that inequality between
women and men arose because of poverty, illiteracy,
traditional norms and stereotypes nurtured by
the patriarchal system. He informed the Committee
that half of the total population of Nepal still
lived in abject poverty and nearly 90 per cent
lived in rural areas.
The representative drew attention to the eighth
plan of the National Planning Commission and
the provisions of article 11 (2) (3) of the
Constitution, which provided for temporary special
measures so that women-specific targeted development
policies could be adopted in order to integrate
women in the national development programmes
and ensure participation in socio-economic and
political sectors. Some of the programmes established
under the eighth plan include the hiring of
4,150 teachers as well as free education for
females. In the area of health, training programmes
geared towards the improvement of the local
delivery system were organized for maternal
and child health-care workers, female health
volunteers and traditional birth attendants.
Recognizing that 57 per cent of Nepalese women
were engaged in agriculture, the Government
established a Women Farmer's Division within
the Ministry of Agriculture. Women-targeted
income-generating programmes were also set up
in the area of forestry and industry. In the
area of trafficking, the representative noted
that Nepal had established a self-reliance and
rehabilitation programme for victims of trafficking
and vulnerable girls. The victims underwent
a six-month training programme.
The representative noted that despite efforts
to improve the situation of women in Nepal,
challenges remained with regard to policies
and programmes. These included the lack of an
effective monitoring and evaluation system,
a high maternal mortality rate of 53.9 to every
10,000 births. He also noted that the average
life expectancy of Nepalese women was 53.4 years,
while that of the men was 55.9 years. The female
literacy rate in Nepal was about 30 per cent,
compared with 66 per cent for men.
The representative informed the Committee of
Nepal's long-term concept, which dealt with
the creation of a developed society on the basis
of gender equality, women's empowerment and
participation through gender mainstreaming in
all sectors of national development. The ninth
plan, 1997-2002, was directed at gender mainstreaming,
including through the assessment of women's
contribution to household labour within the
national accounting system, development of gender-disaggregated
indicators to measure women's participation
in development and effective coordination between
agencies and bodies engaged in the field of
women's development.
With regard to the elimination of gender inequality,
the representative informed the Committee that
laws and regulations that discriminated between
women and men would be reviewed by a task force
set up under the Ministry of Women and Social
Welfare. The Ministry had formulated a national
plan of action for the empowerment of Nepalese
women. The plan of action was designed to create
awareness among planners, policy makers and
politicians on gender and development issues.
The Ministry would increase the number of women
in Government and public service sectors through
classes organized by the Government and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs).
In reviewing the Beijing Platform for Action,
the Gender Equity and Women's Empowerment National
Work Plan 1997, which addressed the 12 critical
areas of the Platform, was formulated. The representative
informed the Committee that a national fund,
which would provide access to credit for Nepalese
women, would also be established. Concluding
the presentation, the representative noted that
Nepalese women still suffered discrimination,
but Nepal was committed to the goal of eliminating
all forms of discrimination.
(b) Concluding comments of the Committee
The Committee expresses its appreciation to
the Government of Nepal for submitting its initial
report, which follows the guidelines of the
Committee. It also commends the Government on
the addendum to the initial report, which updates
the report and for the oral presentation of
additional information. The Committee notes,
however, that the report does not include sufficient
reliable statistical data disaggregated by sex,
and provides insufficient information relating
to the implementation of a number of articles
in the Convention.
The Committee welcomes the fact that Nepal ratified
the Convention without reservations in 1990
shortly after it established a system of multi-party
The Committee commends the Government of Nepal
for sending a high-level delegation, headed
by the Secretary of Ministry of Law and Justice.
Positive aspects
The Committee commends the efforts made by the
Government of Nepal to enact the new 1990 Constitution,
prohibiting direct and indirect discrimination
based on sex, and establishing an independent
The Committee notes with satisfaction that as
a result of the 1997 Self-Governance Act, approximately
40,000 women are now involved in local government.
The Committee commends the Government for the
Basic Primary Education Programme, launched
in 1992, which is directed at the improvement
of women's and girls' education and contributes
to the advancement of women's social status,
as well as playing a key role in strategies
for poverty alleviation.
The Committee welcomes the creation of the Women
Development Division under the Ministry of Local
Development to, inter alia, execute two
central micro-credit programmes for women and
to implement programmes on income generation
and community development.
The Committee commends the Government of Nepal
for the adoption of the ninth plan which places
women's issues in the mainstream of development.
It also welcomes Nepal's commitments to reviewing
existing legislation and enacting appropriate
laws in accordance with international instruments.
The Committee also commends the national plan
of action for gender equality and the empowerment
of women formulated by the Ministry of Women
and Social Welfare and endorsed by the ninth
The Committee notes with appreciation that many
NGOs play an active role in the implementation
of the Convention.
Factors and difficulties affecting the implementation
of the Convention
The Committee notes that different cultural
practices and traditions and persisting highly
patriarchal values and norms affecting all spheres
of life are impediments to the full implementation
of the Convention.
The Committee notes that terrorist insurgencies
and the frequent governmental changes causing
political instability in the young democracy
of Nepal have also been obstacles to the full
implementation of the Convention.
The Committee considers that the widespread
poverty in rural and remote areas and the gap
between the situation of women in urban areas
and those in rural and remote areas as a major
obstacle to the full implementation of the Convention.
Principal areas of concern and recommendations
The Committee is concerned that the Government
has not taken sufficient action to reflect the
provisions of the Convention in domestic laws,
or to amend prevailing discriminatory laws.
The Committee is also concerned about the interpretation
of discriminatory laws by the Supreme Court
and the Court's view that if any laws do not
conform with culture and tradition, society
will be disrupted.
The Committee recommends that a definition of
discrimination in compliance with article 1
of the Convention be included in the relevant
laws. The Committee also urges the Government
to amend, as a matter of priority, discriminatory
laws on property and inheritance, the laws on
marriage, nationality and birth registration,
the Bonus Act, and discriminatory criminal laws,
including the new law on abortion.
The Committee is concerned at the very low literacy
rate amongst women, especially in rural and
remote areas, and the persistence of both a
quantitative and qualitative gender gap at all
levels of education. It is also concerned that
the Basic Primary Education Programme covers
only a small number of girls and women, and
that illiterate women are systematically barred
from vocational training because of the minimum
educational requirements for entry into vocational
centres. The Committee is also concerned that
school curricula and textbooks convey gender
stereotypes and entrench a vision of male superiority.
The Committee urges the Government to introduce
and implement policies and programmes for free
and compulsory education for all girls at the
primary level; vocational and skill development
training for income generation, especially for
marginalized rural women; and the facilitation
of women's access to non-traditional and non-stereotypical
education. The Committee also recommends that
the Government take concrete measures to increase
the number of women in higher education, in
particular in non-traditional fields. The Committee
also recommends that school curricula and textbooks
be reviewed in order to eliminate gender stereotypes.
The Committee urges the Government to take effective
measures, including incentives, to ensure that
parents comply with the obligation of compulsory
education. It recommends that massive social
awareness campaigns be undertaken to encourage
women's education.
The Committee is concerned that there is a need
to ensure greater gender sensitivity, knowledge
and training in gender-related issues among
groups charged with implementation of policies
and programmes to achieve equality for women.
The Committee urges the Government to launch
gender sensitization and advocacy programmes
aimed at the civil service and opinion leaders,
political decision makers, health professionals
and law enforcement officials so as to ensure
that a clear understanding of the obligations
under the Convention is achieved.
The Committee notes that the report does not
include sufficient reliable statistical data
disaggregated by sex, and provides insufficient
information relating to the implementation of
a number of articles in the Convention.
The Committee recommends that statistical data
disaggregated by sex be included in the next
report and that information be provided with
regard to all articles of the Convention.
The Committee expresses concern at the current
law, which criminalizes abortion, including
in cases of pregnancy through rape or incest.
The Committee considers that the current law
on abortion contributes both to the high maternal
mortality rate in Nepal and the higher number
of women prisoners in that State. It is also
concerned that the proposed amendments to the
current law continue to be restrictive, allowing
abortion only when the mother's health is in
The Committee urges the Government to revise
existing legislation and to reconsider the proposed
amendments so as to provide services for safe
abortions. The Committee recommends that the
Government prioritize prevention of unwanted
pregnancy through family planning services and
sex education. In these efforts, the Committee
suggests that the Government take account of
general recommendation 24 on article 12, "Women
and health".
The Committee is concerned about the high incidence
of prostitution and the increase in trafficking
in women and girls, in particular for the purpose
of prostitution. It expresses concern that girl
children are taken across the border for the
purpose of child marriage.
The Committee urges the Government to take effective
steps to review existing legislative provisions
on prostitution and trafficking in women and
their compatibility with the Convention, and
to ensure their full implementation and compliance.
It also calls upon the Government to initiate
regional and bilateral cooperation, taking into
account subregional, regional and international
agreements and standards on this issue. It urges
the Government to review its criminal code,
to punish persons who procure women for prostitution
or for trafficking, to establish repatriation
and rehabilitation programmes, and to support
services for victims of trafficking.
The Committee is concerned that, although the
Constitution guarantees that political parties
should reserve for women at least 5 per cent
of places on electoral lists of candidates for
elections to the House of Representatives, and
that at least three seats should be reserved
for women in the National Assembly, representation
of women in the National Legislature remains
very low. It is also concerned with the very
low participation of women in government administration.
The Committee recommends that the Government
take appropriate steps, including the introduction
of temporary special measures in accordance
with article 4.1 of the Convention, to ensure
greater participation by women at all levels
of decision-making.
The Committee expresses concern that traditional
customs and practices detrimental to women and
girls, such as child marriage, dowry, polygamy,
deuki (a tradition of dedicating girls
to a god or goddess, who become "temple
prostitutes", which persists, despite the
prohibition of the practice by the Children's
Act) badi (the ethnic practice of forcing
young girls to become prostitutes) and discriminatory
practices that derive from the caste system
are still prevalent.
The Committee recommends that the Government,
in coordination with civil society, including
women's groups and non-governmental organizations,
initiate policies and programmes to eliminate
discriminatory cultural attitudes towards women
and girls. It recommends implementation of an
extensive public awareness campaign in order
to increase the understanding of gender issues
and human rights of women amongst the people
of Nepal.
The Committee is concerned that women are concentrated
in low-skill jobs. It is concerned about both
the gender disparity in wages and the unequal
income distribution caused by the concentration
of the vast majority of women in unpaid family
The Committee urges the Government to adopt
labour legislation prohibiting wage discrimination.
It also recommends that the Government introduce
special measures to encourage women to participate
in all sectors of employment, and develop special
credit facilities for women to enable them to
establish small enterprises and that it introduce
special measures to encourage women to participate
in all sectors of employment.
The Committee notes with concern that there
is little information on the situation of women
in the rural areas, where the majority of the
population lives and where the majority of women
are engaged in the agricultural sector.
The Committee requests the Government to include
in its next report more information and data
on the situation of rural women, as well as
minority women, in particular with respect to
their access to public services.
The Committee requests the Government to respond
to the concerns in these concluding comments
in its next report.

UK Today News: Dancing With The Stars April 6 2010: Astronaut Buzz Aldrin Eliminated
The Dancing with the Stars April 6, 2010 episode, was yet another drama filled night that saw another "Star" leaving the show.
The one to leave the show was none other than the famous astronaut Buzz Aldrin – who from the start was considered as one of the weak contestants on Dancing with the Stars. Although it was not a shocking elimination, many reports say that it was Kate Gosselin who should have been kicked out.
The safe couples on this weeks Dancing with the Stars were:
Nicole and Derek
Aiden and Edyta
Erin and Maks
Niecy and Louis
Evan and Anna
Chad and Cheryl
Pamela and Damian
Whereas, the couples who were not safer were Buzz and Ashl, and Jake and Chelsie.
Sadly, the oldest contestant on this year's Dancing with the Stars Buzz Aldrin was eliminated.
It's about time Buzz Aldren left. Shannon dougherty was infinitly better but the rah rah of American nostalgia kept him around. He never should have been on in the first place. Next,I hope is Kate Gosselin who has two left feet and Pamela Anderson , who can't stop muggging every time the camera is on her. Surely this sterotypical bumb bimbo could follow the steps without continuously draping herself over her partner and pawing him. Another sad Marilyn Monroe wanna be and we all know how they all end up, dying young because getting older is not an option.


text: Six years ago, the CW canceled the sleuth drama Veronica Mars, which for three seasons starred Kristen Bell as a modern-day, all-grown-up Nancy Drew solving mysteries in the fictional seaside town of Neptune, California. The series may have been low rated, but is remarkable for the intense passion for all things Mars its fans had, and continue to have. On Wednesday, those fans enjoyed the geek-out of their lives. After six years of dreaming a dream—that their cherished show would one day be revived as a film—creator Rob Thomas announced that the movie version of Veronica Mars was a go. And it's those very fans he had to thank for it. Using crowd-funding site Kickstarter, they helped raise—in just one day—the $2 million needed to fund the film project.

The Cobb County Georgia School Board terminated its contract with Apple Computer late Sunday based on an investigation that found that the school system "deceived" the public in choosing the company to supply it with new iBook laptops for students.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports in its Monday edition that the board requested the investigation a month ago, after a witness testified, in a lawsuit to stop the program, that the bidding process was tainted.
An independent investigation found Apple got the contract even though it appears the company did not initially make the final cut of companies to be considered. Investigators also found Central Office staff "refused to tell the truth" to investigators. "The responses by the personnel conveyed misleading information in certain aspects and false information in others," the report stated. "Those responsible clearly wanted to create a false impression of the results of the negotiation to justify thier decision."
On July 28, a judge ordered an immediate halt to the laptop program, because the school system did not give voters "fair notice" about how they would pay for it through a special 1 percent sales tax voters approved in 2003.
Investigators gave no indication that Apple Computer had done anything wrong in its negotiations with the school district.

At first glance you may not see a connection between diabetes and joint pain - after all diabetes is a hormonal condition and hormones don't have much to do with joints. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 47 percent of people with arthritis also have diabetes. The connection isn't a direct one but that high of a percentage makes many doctors believe the two are related in some fashion.
Charcot's foot and diabetic hand syndrome are two common joint problems for diabetics. Let's review the symptoms of these two issues and how orthopedic treatment may provide relief.
Charcot's FootCharcot foot can occur in the one-third of diabetes patients who lose feeling in their feet and other lower extremities, a condition called peripheral neuropathy. In the early stages of Charcot's foot, bones in the foot may weaken and break. If Charcot's isn't diagnosed early, the foot will continue to fracture and can become abnormal in shape.
SymptomsMany patients don't realize they have Charcot's Foot until it is in the latter stages causing deformity. However, if diagnosed early, Charcot's is highly treatable. Common symptoms include:
- Numbness and tingling or loss of sensation in the affected joints
- Painful joints
- Swelling or redness around the joints
- Instability in the feet or ankles
- Swollen or misshapen feet
Orthopedic Treatment Options
- Casts to help fractured bones heal
- Special orthopedic footwear to protect the feet and add stability
- Surgery
- In advanced stages the only treatment available may be amputation
Diabetic Hand IssuesDiabetics often have issues with excess glucose in their collagen - the protein that makes up tendons, joints, ligaments and connective tissues. Excess glucose causes tissues to thicken which in turn leads to a variety of hand disorders including: carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, limited joint mobility, and Dupuytren's disease (contracture of the hand).
- Waxy and/or thickened appearance of the skin on your hands
- Limited finger movement - sometimes the finger is locked in a bent position
- Numbness and tingling or loss of sensation in the affected joints
- Lumps or noticeable thickening in the palm
Orthopedic Treatment Options
- Physical therapy
- Surgery

I returned from the Easter break to find 4 huge parcels containing 280 BBC micro:bits (one for each Y7 in school. This is tremendously exciting! I've had my teacher bit for, erm, a bit and have loved playing around with it, as has my 6 year old daughter and her friends (a small plea – MORE of this sort of thing please BBC – lots of other year groups and especially primary teachers would LOVE these resources).
The Y7 micro:bit pioneers club have been writing some excellent programs such as a compass, a real life snakes & ladders and a magic 8 ball too.
Now it's time to start introducing all of Y7 to their new devices. We've made the decision to keep the micro:bits in school whilst we work through the 4 lesson scheme of work and give them out at the end once pupils have become more familiar with the devices and (hopefully) some fires have been lit.
As usual, I've been busy creating resources, so here are:

China's Confucian Revival
Dent, Minn.
Orville Schell is at it again! In "China's Quest for Moral Authority" [Oct. 20] he claims that China needs to heal itself from centuries of foreign "humiliation." The anodyne is a revival of Confucian tradition: "China's current attention to Confucianism suggests that the Chinese…have begun to feel the moral void from which their government operates."
There are two problems with this:
1. It is not the Chinese people who are urging the revival of Confucianism. The Confucian institutes spreading throughout the world are under the auspices of the Foreign Ministry–not the initiative of private, locally based educational institutions.
Throughout Chinese history, the government has tried to enforce its legitimacy by making Confucius into an imperial icon. Beginning in the nineteenth century Confucian temples were erected. Confucius' birthday was celebrated in September. In a recent upgrade, the birthday party included a dance once reserved for the emperor.
2. Confucianism has joined the revival of Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism. By being used to serve the state's policy of transforming past resentments into an ideology of moral equivalency with the West, Confucianism has lost its dynamism. The government has enforced guidelines on the limits of the interpretation of Confucian tradition. Beijing has replaced the Maoist dictum "The East is Red" with the exaltation that Confucian "harmony" (ho) will lead China and the world to a purer community. In sum, China's Confucianism for export is just tradition redux and is inimical to the creation of a moral authority.
Orville Schell's article is very inspiring. However, he misplaced a couple of Confucius' sayings. It was in Book VII of his Analects, not in the Works of Mencius, that the Master said, "Riches and honors without justice are to me as fleeting clouds." And it was in Book III of Mencius, not the Analects, that we find "The moral power of a Junzi is like the wind, while the moral power of the common people is like the grass. When blown, the grass cannot but bend before the wind."

Statement: Senate Health Leader on the Anniversary of the ACA
Senator Hernandez recognizes the ACA accomplishments in California
SACRAMENTO – Chair of the Senate Health Committee Senator Ed Hernandez (D-West Covina) released the following statement on the signing anniversary of the Affordable Care Act:
"Today, on the 7th Anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the majority party in Washington is trying to convince enough members of Congress to ignore the health of their constituents and vote to repeal the ACA so that they can provide a massive tax cut to the wealthiest Americans.
"In the best tradition of honoring anniversaries of landmark events, I would instead like to reflect on the remarkable progress this nation has made over these seven years improving access to health care across America, and especially in California. Five million more Californians now have health insurance, thanks to the ACA. The percentage of Californians under the age of 65 without insurance declined from 22% to approximately 7% today – the largest percentage point decline in the nation. These numbers may sound abstract, but they represent lives saved, families protected from bankruptcy, people with chronic conditions able to return to work.
"To use the anniversary of this remarkable transformation in our healthcare system to yank the rug out from under these people is senseless and cruel, and is opposed by a clear majority of Americans. Today, just like other anniversaries, should be a time of celebration and of recommitment to the goal that brought us this far: affordable health care for all Americans."

About The Art of Calm

Packed with page after page of inspirational ideas to help you bring your life back to center, this is the perfect antidote to reducing the chaos of everyday life. Filled with exquisite photographs and insightful quotations, this elegant book offers an opportunity to enjoy guilt-free "me" time, as well as easy suggestions for a more peaceful existence—from keeping a bud vase on your desk to tucking yourself into bed an hour early with a book you love. The brilliant images are a reminder to savor the world's natural beauty—and ease the mind in an instant. This enriching, beautifully illustrated book is an inspiring guide to relaxation and harmony. Simple tips for how to unwind, ideas for spending quality time with loved ones, and illuminating quotes offer ideas on how to slow down and savor life's simple moments.
My Review
Let me start by saying this is an absolutely exquisite book. The stunning images, the simple yet inspiring and encouraging words indeed create a calming balm.
I have been dealing with very challenging issues lately in which I find myself overwhelmed at times requiring a recharge of my battery but..with responsbililites and limited time along with my high stress level I have failed at renewing myself until this beautiful book came my way.
No such thing as accidents, so it seems in my situation. I have enjoyed perusing the pages, absorbing the images and taking a few minutes to calm myself despite the various serious issues on my plate. A few minutes is all it takes to lose yourself in the illustrations paired with the wise words gently nudging, granting permission for respite from life's grueling demands. Sitting on my nightstand, I simply reach over to start and end my day with a moment of calm, believe me it works!
I enjoyed all the illustrations and words, I found this particular pearl of wisdom striking –
Gorgeous, amazing things come into our lives
when we are paying attention: mangos, grand nieces, Bach, ponds. This happens more often when we have as little expectations as possible…Astonishing material and revelation appear in our lives all the time.
Let it be. Unto us, so much is given.
We just have to be open for business.
This would make a fantastic gift for any woman encouraging her to find mere minutes in her life to feel a moment of calm, after all, WE can all use a dose in this chaotic, hectic world.
I love this book and I know you will too. I look forward to more from Rebecca Ascher-Walsh, no doubt she helped improve my life with her generous gift and art of calm. Simply lovely!

OCALA - Attorneys for convicted murderer Ian Lightbourne will continue to attack the Department of Corrections about the state's lethal injection procedure today during the last week of hearings prompted by the botched Angel Diaz execution.
The hearings, which are scheduled to last through Friday in Ocala, will look at the updated lethal injection manual to determine whether enough changes were made to avoid problems in future executions.
"CCR's job is to attack the changes in the protocol. ... and that those changes aren't enough to protect from another botched execution," said Assistant State Attorney Rock Hooker Monday, referring to the Capital Collateral Regional Counsel's office that represents dozens of death row inmates.
Dozens of DOC officials involved in the lethal injection process were subpoenaed, along with medical professionals. It is not clear which witnesses will be called today, but Hooker said he expected DOC officials to be asked about execution procedure in light of the recently updated protocols.
The litigation is the result of the December 2006 execution of Diaz. It took 34 minutes - twice as long as normal - for Diaz, 55, to die after an unusual second injection of the three chemicals used in the procedure. Then-Gov. Jeb Bush suspended all Florida executions later that month after a medical examiner said prison officials botched the insertion of the needles.
Last month, 5th Circuit Judge Carven Angel, of Ocala, ordered DOC officials to rewrite portions of Florida's execution protocol manual. Angel criticized the vague nature of the manual and asked officials to spell out detailed information about the execution team, its members and their training, among other items.
Those updates are the items that will be addressed this week. CCR attorneys will argue those changes don't guarantee another execution like Diaz's will occur.
Attorneys for CCR could not be reached for comment.
Hooker said DOC officials are trying to ensure against another botched execution.
"What happened in Diaz is not good," Hooker said. "There were mistakes and it was bad ... And DOC is making sure that it doesn't happen again."
A day after the Diaz execution, the CCR office, which represents dozens of death row inmates, filed petitions on behalf of all their clients claiming the penalty was cruel and unusual. The same day, on Dec. 14, the court chose the Lightbourne case to argue the issue.
Last month, Gov. Charlie Crist cleared way for Florida executions to resume. He signed a death warrant for Mark Schwab. Schwab, 38, was sentenced to death in 1992. He kidnapped, raped and killed 11-year-old Junny Rios-Martinez, of Cocoa, by smothering or choking the boy. Lightbourne, 47, was sentenced to death in 1981 for the murder of Marion County horse breeder Nancy O'Farrell, the daughter of a prominent horse farming family.
Schwab is scheduled to die in November. The Supreme Court will hear arguments in the Schwab and Lightbourne cases in October.
Angel is expected to rule in September on whether the current execution method is "cruel and unusual." His ruling will be forwarded to the Supreme Court who will study Ocala hearing transcripts and hold a hearing of its own.
Mabel Perez may be reached at email@example.com or 867-4106.

Thingyan Festival -
Thingyan, Myanmar's Water Festival, takes place toward the end of the hot, dry season and brings in the Myanmar New Year.
The festival lasts three or five days. Standing on bamboo stages erected along the streets, people splash water on passersby. Powerful water pipes douse people driving by in jeeps and trucks.
The locals use water pistols to drench their friends, relatives, and anyone else in range – only monks and the elderly are safe. It is great fun to join in!

You don't usually make children's movies. Why this one?
It's a film my own kids (Charlie, 9, and Kit, 6) could see. This was also the first time they were able to visit me on a set. Usually, I'm wearing a costume that's covered in blood or something.
Have they seen any of your other films?
Only Bugsy Malone (a gangster spoof). I want to show them Freaky Friday (the original from 1976), but they won't watch—they think it's a girls' movie.
In Nim's Island, your character, a writer, overcomes a fear of leaving her house in order to help a girl. Ever do anything scary for your kids' sake?
Ride on roller coasters. They love it, but it gives me a weird feeling in my stomach.

AMES, Iowa -- The City of Ames bus service, CyRide celebrated its 40th anniversary on Tuesday. CyRide officials were handing out cookies at bus stops in Ames.
"It's been a great 40 years obviously we've grown with both the community and the University together," said Sheri Kyras, Director of CyRide.
CyRide started in 1976 with only 20 employees and five vehicles. Today, the service has 197 employees and 105 buses. Initially, CyRide was a door-to-door service in Ames.
Now, the service is growing along with Iowa State University. CyRide is in service 16-20 hours a day on 10 routes around Ames and ISU. The buses travel 1,600,000 miles each year.
The service has expanded the bus garage and now there are so many buses they will not all fit inside.
"We're parking buses outside now and actually having starting discussion about having a second facility at a different location," said Kyras. "Due to the number of vehicles that we currently have, 105, were trying to pack them as tightly as we can at the current location but we are simply starting to outgrow that."
Eventually, CyRide plans to have 10 articulated buses which bend in the middle. Those large vehicles work the CyRide commuter lot to Central Campus.

The Conference organisers say "the entire transport infrastructure value chain has the opportunity to participate at this year's convention as exhibitors: public sector bodies, transport authorities and parastatals, contractors, engineering agencies, research & knowledge institutes, industry associations and suppliers of infrastructure products and services."
Mr. Sibanda, who is Business Development Executive & Commercial Partnership said there are varied reasons why participants must exhibit at the Convention.
Some of the reasons, he stressed, include the fact that the event is the gateway to the West Africa and Sub-Saharan market place; it helps exhibitors touch base with their target market and share their latest products and services; it creates access to high-level decision makers and personal contact with them; generates new sales opportunities within West Africa and sub-Saharan Africa as well as serve as an avenue to showcase professional development and enhance your corporate reputation and brand image.
"Efficient Supply chain and logistics management," Mr. Sibanda said, "are a driver of West Africa's sustainability, growth and development."
At the same time, efficient management of resources, collaboration, proper procurement procedures and risk management are the key factors that determine the creation of standard supply chain in West Africa.
Mr. Thabani Sibanda explained that "Local and International supply chain executives cannot ignore the African market. Africas growth, expected to average six percent by 2020, will be fueled by growing domestic demand, infrastructure development and an increase in continental trade. With endless supply chain and logistics opportunities available as Africa places itself squarely in the middle of the global value chain, now is the time to assess opportunities and risks in the local markets and exploit opportunities that avail."
The convention's targeted participants are Chief Executive Officers, Chief Procurement Officers, heads of Supply Chain/Procurement/Sourcing, Commodity Managers, Logistics Managers, Category Managers, General Managers, Inventory Controllers/ Managers, Administrators, Purchasing Managers and operations Managers amongst others.
Sponsorship and Speaking Opportunities
The organisers say the forum will confer on sponsors "absolute authority and quality status in the transport and supply chain industry."
In view of this, it will establish a sponsor as the pro-active industry player, and will "offer you unrivalled cost-effective and dedicated marketing exposure and brand recognition among key players in the industry. This is an unrivalled platform that presents you with an opportunity to develop a relationship with potential business and finance partners."
Companies desirous of participating are expected to contact the organisers at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

With the start of the legislative session just more than a month away, several of the Chamber's Sector Advocacy Teams (SATs) mobilized last week, meeting with industry experts and Chamber members to discuss the important issues likely to come up during the session.
The SATs will work to develop recommendations for the Chamber's advocacy efforts better aligning and bringing together the Chamber's public policy efforts with the specific needs of eight strategically identified industry sectors—construction/realtors/developers, entrepreneurism, manufacturing, healthcare, finance and financial services, professional services, hospitality/tourism and retail/services/business development.
Over two days late last week, the first four of eight meetings were held with a distinct goal—sharing and understanding legislative priorities and other issues facing the industry. And as the days unfolded, numerous legislative focuses and industry concerns emerged. Below are the highlights from each SAT meeting. The final four meetings will be held next week.
There were a number of speakers at this initial meeting including;Mike Puelle, Associated General Contractors, Lynne Anderson, NAIOP, Randy Traynor, Lobbyist NAIOP, Roxanne Rivera-Wiest, Associated Builders and Contractors, Dale Dekker, Home Builders Association and Cathy Colvin, Realtors Association of New Mexico.
P3 Legislation--would provide a clearer framework to getting more projects funded. Public-private partnerships allow local and state government to enter into long-term partnerships with private companies to build such things as schools, libraries, water projects, roads, government offices and recreation facilities.
Changing copper theft from a misdemeanor offense to a felony—for many in the construction business, a "minor" copper theft of $200 worth of material, can cost the contractor tens of thousands and in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs and delays.
Statute of repose—the statute would limit the amount of time contractors are responsible for construction defects.
Requiring home inspectors to be licensed—currently home inspectors in New Mexico are not subject to special licensing.
Subcontractor prequalification package—legislation that will make it easier to build. Subcontractors would be allowed to fill out a packet once per year rather than per job, eliminating duplicative financial and time requirements.
Preemption legislation— would provide for state government to be in charge of most labor decisions—such as paid sick leave and minimum wage—rather than individual municipalities, eliminating a "patchwork" of laws from one city to the next.
Industry experts who presented include: Mike Puelle, AGC; Lynne Anderson, NAIOP; Randy Traynor, Lobbyist for NAIOP; Roxanne Rivera-Wiest, ABC; Dale Dekker, Home Builders Association; Cathy Colvin, Realtors Association of NM.
Terri Cole, Becky Prescott, Tom Antram and Cindy McGill join in on a roundtable discussion for the Manufacturing SAT.
Water—Water is often an issue of contention during a legislative session and always a consideration as it pertains to new companies moving to the state or existing companies expanding. Brian Burnett of Bohannan Huston explained that the business community often engages on water-related bills from a defensive strategy. He offered flag words that the group should be mindful of when considering support or opposition to water-related legislation. Among many others, these included: watershed restoration, public-private partnerships (P3), cost share, brackish water, senior water rights, and water infrastructure.
Workforce—according to Jennifer Sinsabaugh from the New Mexico MEP (Manufacturing Extension Partnership), the number one issue for manufacturers is the lack of a career-ready workforce. Employers statewide have jobs open but potential employees can't pass basic math skills assessments, drug tests or felony background tests. Prospective employees also lack important soft- and problem-solving skills.
Jobs Training Incentive Program (JTIP) and Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) funds—according to many in the SAT group, companies are often discouraged from applying for these funds due to the amount of paperwork involved in the process. The group offered the need to simplify the process to encourage more companies to apply for the incentives.
Telecommunication Modernization—this legislation, endorsed by the Jobs Council, creates a regulatory environment where all telecom providers in the state are regulated in the same way. Cellular use in New Mexico surpassed POTS (plain old telephone service) users in 2013, but land line providers, like CenturyLink, are still governed by the 1985 Telecommunication Act.
Universal Service Fund Accountability Bill—would allow the Universal Service Fund to be used for broadband networks. Currently, the fee is 4.5%, applied to phone bills, and generates about $23-$24 million per year. Only rural telecommunication providers can access the Universal Service Fund, but there is no accountability to ensure its being used as intended. The legislation would vastly improve broadband access in the state.
Open trenching—New Mexico does not currently participate in open trenching unlike nearby states. This legislation would amend a section of the Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) to allow for broadband infrastructure development in areas with "open trenches" due to construction or road projects, for example. A broadband provider would be allowed to come in and pull fiber through conduit that the government entity would purchase. Government-purchased conduit could conflict with New Mexico's anti-donation clause, so this bill would serve as enabling legislation.
Industry experts who presented include: Brian Burnett, Bohannan Huston; Jennifer Sinsabaugh, New Mexico MEP; Katherine Martinez, CenturyLink.
Farron Sneed, CEO of Lovelace and SAT chair for our Healthcare industry, directed the conversation last week.
Financing—previous reduction in funding to Medicaid programs resulting in cuts in payments to hospitals. $80m impact in payments to hospitals.
Medicaid—with the expansion of Medicaid, 400,000 people are on the rolls. Currently, about 1 in 3 New Mexicans is on Medicaid. By mid-year next year, that number could be 1 in 2 according to industry experts. Without adequate Medicaid funding, there will be a cost shift to the private sector, and if hospitals can't adjust their costs to fit their reimbursements, they will be in jeopardy of closing.
Safe staffing act—there is concern that this legislation would be introduced during the session. According to Jeff Dye with the NM Hospital Association, the Act is a way to mandate certain staffing levels as a staff nurse majority would decide staffing levels allowing for management to be usurped.
Tort Reform—would limit the ability of those with a medical claim to "shop" for a venue where they may receive a more favorable opinion. Cases would be limited to the location where care took place or where individual lived.
Legislative Health Human Services bills—the LHHS has endorsed 14 bills including such proposals to care out behavioral health from Medicaid to having a school nurse in each district. Healthcare experts are currently reviewing the legislation.
New Administration—industry experts are keeping a watchful eye on the transitioning Administration with regard to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Industry experts who presented include: Jeff Dye, New Mexico Hospital Association; Dan Weaks, Lobbyist; Dr. Paul Roth, UNM HSC; Sandy Podley, Presbyterian.
Gary Oppedahl, Economic Development, Debbie Johnson, CNM, Stu Rose, BioScience Center discuss the entrepreneurial environment.
Severance Tax Fund—currently the State Investment Council invests about 5% of the allowable 9% of the Severance Tax Fund into differential rate investments.
Catalyst Fund—this fund is made up of $10 million dollars from the SIC, $5 million dollars of federal money that has been converted from an equity fund to a loan fund, and 5 million of private funds. The Catalyst Fund will make investments in other funding organizations that will make investments in companies that will encourage entrepreneurial activities. The challenge is getting approval. It is a matching fund and the organization will need to put up the same amount of money as the Catalyst Fund.
Remote/solo workers—think-tank data show that by 2025-2030, 52% of all work will be done by remote workers. New Mexico can be a very attractive place for remote employees who are interested in relocating for quality of life. Broadband is necessary statewide for employees of the new age.
Industry expert who presented: Harold Lavender, State Investment Council.

The Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce last Thursday celebrated its 99th annual meeting with a luncheon event held at Hotel Albuquerque.
Tom Antram, President of FRENCH Family of Companies was formally introduced as Chairman of the Board; retired Rear Admiral Scott Moore, a former Navy SEAL provided an inspiring message on leading no-fail teams. Chamber President and CEO Terri Cole emceed the event.
Moore, who served for 30 years as a SEAL leader and team member, is a master in organizational leadership and team building. Throughout his hour-long address, he outlined foundational principles—Leadership (that works), the Team, and the Culture—for creating the types of teams equipped for 'no fail' missions and applied the principles to the business environment.
Being a leader takes more time, more planning and more energy said Moore. But leaders must accept their role, make and explain their decisions to their teams and listen to the experience of other team members, regardless of position. He told the audience leaders must also be the most committed among the group and must "lead the decision from the front."
Above any individual, Moore said, there must always be an emphasis on the team. In SEAL training, there is an individual focus for the first couple of months he said, but then it turns to the team. "Your proximity to the target is not your importance to the mission," said Moore. The goal is cohesiveness and transparency among team members where dialogue is free-flowing, and built upon mutual trust. "Never talk bad about your team," he said.
The third foundation, culture, drives everything he said. According to Moore, role models create the culture and "buy-in" from the team makes it last. Moore stressed a 'culture of ownership' at the ground level. "Whoever encounters the problem, we expect them to act," he said. "We have to have enough trust in people that others can do it."
Moore's presentation was preceded by remarks from Antram who reviewed plans underway at the Chamber for the new program year which kicked off on July 1. Antram noted several key principles driving the Chamber's program of work; the principles resulted from months of research and benchmarking conducted by the Chamber's Strategic Planning Team which explored the ever-changing business landscape and addressed the Chamber's desire to stay ahead of changes in the ways that members communicate, interact and perceive value.
Antram said the Chamber will focus its efforts on customized engagement, the concept of association versus joining, driving the change, focusing on three key issues to fix things that don't work and a laser-focus on bold policy work through its Bold Issues Group (BIGs), Sector Advocacy Teams (SATs) and Connections Advocacy Network (CANs).

The new movie "Rings" comes out next Friday. It's the new sequel to the horror movie "The Ring" . . . where the girl with long dark hair climbs out of a TV. And there's a new YouTube video where the producers prank people by making it happen in real life.
They pranked people at an electronics store by showing them how realistic their HD TVs look. Then a girl who's dressed like the girl from the movie actually climbs out of one and attacks them.
It's actually amazing how many people don't realize it's a prank right away.
