In the US it has been alleged that "Julius Genachowski donated $3,494,919 to DNC [Democratic National Committee] and served as Chairman of the FCC [Federal Communications Commission] from 2009 to 2013" (Tyler Durden: "This Is How Much It 'Costs' To Get An Ambassadorship: Guccifer 2.0 Leaks DNC 'Pay-To-Play' Donor List" Zero Hedge, September 14 2016)
The wireless and cellphone industry is well aware of the potentially devastating costs of damage litigation when harm is eventually proved from low-level electromagnetic energy sufficient to convince all courts world-wide. At present the industry seems more concerned about short-term profits than the long-term safety of its products and tries to prevent the public becoming aware of the growing amount of evidence proving harm.
Members of ARPANSA (Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency) appear to belong to the minority clique of activists still clinging to Schwan's mistake of 1953. They seem to believe that the only adverse effect of EM energy is heating, despite the vast majority of scientists long accepting the established evidence for non-thermal effects, now used extensively in healthcare procedures and electronic weapons.
Criticism of ARPANSA's approach to Risk Management:
Criticism of ARPANSA TR 178 Synopsis on EMF Research Needs:
ARPANSA is limited in what it can say about bioeffects of EM energy because its freedom is restricted by the ARPANSA Act of 1998 which requires "that the Act will not prejudice either Australia's defence or national security" (Explanatory Memorandam, 1998):
Excellent reviews of ARPANA's deficient approach to the scientific evidence:
Australia: ARPANSA and ACEBR, links with ICNIRP
'Pseudoscience' by ARPANSA and ACEBR:
'Paper should be withdrawn'
A new analysis (Karipidis K et al, 2018) by two pro-wireless activist groups, Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) and the Australian Centre for Electromagnetic Bioeffects Research (ACEBR), claimed the incidence of brain tumours in Australia did not increase between 2003 and 2013. "People say mobile phones can cause cancer but our study showed this was not the case," said ARPANSA's Ken Karipidis, who led the study with ACEBR's Rodney Croft, under an A$2.6 million grant from the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia. Croft, a psychology professor, is a member of ICNIRP, and Karipidis is a member of ICNIRP's Scientific Expert Group. ICNIRP has long strived to counter any suggestion of a link between brain tumors and cell phones.
Others are skeptical. The work is incomplete and misleading —or worse, they say, since it included only brain tumours in Australia between 1982 and 2013 among those under 60. Karipidis and Croft excluded all cases aged 60 years or more at diagnosis. That decision has prompted widespread criticism because it leaves out the largest segment of the brain tumor population. In the U.S. the median age of brain tumor cases is 60, according the American Brain Tumor Association (that is, there are more cases among those older than 59 than those who are 59 or younger). If a similar distribution applies to Australia, Karipidis and Croft would have ignored a majority of all brain tumor cases in their analysis.
Limiting cases to those 59 and younger seems "quite bizarre and unnecessary" said Vini Khurana, an Australian brain surgeon and the director of CNS Neurosurgery in Sydney. Joel Moskowitz of the University of California, Berkeley said "It's a biased study". Bruce Armstrong, emeritus professor at the University of Sydney School of Medicine who led Australia's Interphone team, acknowledged the problem with the study design: if Karipidis's team had behaved "rationally," Armstrong said, they would have done it differently. "Interphone excluded people over 60 because it was argued at the time that these people had little mobile phone use." Karipidis and Croft's ecological analysis —a search for trends— is totally different from the case-control design used in Interphone. They have no information on the use of mobile phones by those with brain tumors. Interphone, on the other hand, went to great lengths to estimate each participant's exposure to RF radiation.
The Australian study runs counter to a paper (Philips A et al, 2018) in the U.K. They showed that the incidence of glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive type of brain tumor, more than doubled in England between 1995 and 2015. Philips said "By stopping at age 59, they are missing the group with the largest increase in GBM, and those with the most exposure to mobile phone radiation. This is impossible to justify. Frankly, I find their limited analysis shocking and I don't understand how it cleared peer review. For GBM, ignoring those over 59, eliminates 63% of all the cases in England. Essentially the entire increase in GBM over the last 20 years is among the older group of people. The Australian paper is nothing more than misleading pseudoscience and should be withdrawn."

"Phonegate" Scandal:
There has been sustained criticism of the way cellphones are apparently not assessed as required, or accurate results are not made available. It is alleged that ANFES, the French National Frequencies Agency, has not released essential information. It has not published its test reports for 2012-17

Wireless industry pressure on reporting Phonegate scandal:
ANSES EHS Report, 2018:
On March 27 2018 ANSES, a French government agency concerned with health and safety, published a report on Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS). The following comments are based on first impressions of the French version.
The ANSES website claims wrongly:
"current scientific knowledge shows no cause and effect relationship between the symptoms of people declaring themselves as electrohypersensitive and their exposure to electromagnetic waves".
This is clearly wrong. If ANSES's claim were true, hundreds of peer-reviewed would have to be withdrawn. It has been established for 50 years that people with real EHS have their specific symptoms because of exposure to EM waves. ANSES cannot undo established science because it wants to help the French government and the wireless industry.
Equally this ANSES report fails to assess the many studies showing that some people are sensitive to geomagnetic events, solar radiation, the aurora borealis and sferics. It is extraordinary that all these studies are omitted, along with the studies showing animal and plant sensitivity to man-made and natural electromagnetic energy.
"Hypersensitivity to electromagnetic waves: research efforts should be scaled up and suitable care provided for the people concerned" (ANSES: French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety, March 27 2018)
The following 14 points (March 28 2018) are based on the French version of the ANSES EHS Report published on March 27 2018. Collectively they show that the ANSES Report is not only worthless but actually highly damaging to people with real EHS.
"Hypersensibilité électromagnétique ou intolérance environnementale idiopathique attribuée aux champs électromagnétiques" (ANSES, 2018)
The ICNIRP is a private group of like-minded scientists all of whom hold the minority viewpoint that the only adverse effect of electromagnetic energy is heating, not the established and known biological effects. Like supporters of the wireless industry, they follow the mistake made by Schwan in 1953.
In 2010 ICNIRP accepted substantiated and known electrosensitivity symptoms from non-thermal exposure to low frequency fields, but it has not yet recommended non-thermal biological safety limits to protect people against these known adverse effects and ill health.
ICNIRP: "Guidelines for limiting exposure to time‐varying electric and magnetic fields (1hz – 100 khz)" (2010)
The ICNIRP accepts known and established adverse biological effects yet promulgates guidelines which concern only heating and not established and known biological effects. It relies on Schwan's mistake of 1953 in rejecting established and known biological effects because they did not agree with his heating hypothesis. All countries should adopt biological guidelines based on scientifically established known biological effects and not on unproven assumptions about heat.
The ICNIRP is aware that people with electrosensitivity and other vulnerable groups like children, the elderly and some chronically ill people, need biological guidelines, not ICNIRP's current heating guidelines.
ICNIRP: "Statement: General approach to protection against non‐ionizing radiation" (2002)
ICNIRP Draft Guidelines 2018
The ICNIRP is calling for comments on its draft 2018 guidelines, still based on Schwan's 1953 heating mistake. The ICNIRP should be providing guidelines for people it states are particularly sensitive to EM energy and need biological guidelines and not its invalidated heating guidelines, declared "obsolete" by the European Parliament in 2009.
The ICNIRP draft guidelines have been shown to be totally inadequate for protecting human health.
Areas which are scientifically invalid include:
ICNIRP continues to reject scientific evidence:
The "ICNIRP Note on recent animal carcinogenesis studies" (ICNIRP, Munich, Germany, September 4 2018) rejected the scientific evidence from the $25m USA's National Toxicology Programme's study and Ramazzini Institute's study. Both of these comprehensive and top quality studies showed that RF can cause cancer.
The Note was published during the ICNIRP's review process in re-issuing its 1998 6-minute heating limits. It attempted to justify the ICNIRP's rejection of the overwhelming weight of evidence which now shows that RF is a class 1 certain human carcinogen. According to the Note, the ICNIRP claimed that, for revising its 1998 6-minute heating exposure guidelines:
"these studies do not provide a reliable basis".
The ICNIRP admitted that the Ramazzini whole-body exposures were 0.001-0.1 W/kg, making all their local exposures within the ICNIRP 1998 heating limits, while the whole-body exposures at 0.1 W/kg only slightly exceeded the ICNIRP's whole-body limit of 0.08 W/kg, concluding about this Ramazinni study:
"In terms of relevance to mobile-phones, if any adverse health effects were shown to be due to local exposures, then these could be highly relevant to mobile-phones."
The ICNIRP's claim that the NTP and Ramazinni evidence is not "reliable" goes against the majority of expert international scientists and against the 2018 independent review panel for the NTP results.
For details on the ICNIRP, see also: World Health Organization
GLORE stands for "Global Coordination of Research and Health Policy on RF Electromagnetic Fields".
GLORE began as a bilateral meeting between Japan and South Korea. Its first meeting was in Tokyo in 1997 and its second in Seoul in 1998. The EU has been involved since 1999, the USA since 2000 and Australia and Canada more recently.
GLORE is still composed only of invited and "registered" representatives from governments supporting the wireless industry, industry and their associated academics.
Its meetings have included representatives from minority-viewpoint scientific groups like the ICNIRP and the WHO.
The second day of its meetings are held in secrecy and closed to outsiders so that political/critical issues can be discussed.
Meetings are usually held in November/December: Paris 2018 , FFC HQ Washington DC 2017, Washington DC 2013.
There are signs in India of an awareness of the problem of industry influence.
Attempted wireless industry censorship:
The 2012 AGNIR Report has been analysed in detail and shown to be a fringe minority viewpoint where its conclusions of no harm are not supported by the evidence which clearly and convincingly shows harm.
Starkey SJ (2016) "Inaccurate official assessment of radiofrequency safety by the Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation"Rev Environ Health.
The consequences of the inaccuracy of the AGNIR 2012 RF Report include the need to revise all advice given since 2012 based on the false conclusions of this Report. In the UK this Report was accepted by Public Health England, the agency of the Department of Health which gives advise on radiation harm. Since PHE has thus given the general public inaccurate information, it means that PHE will have to revisit the acceptable levels of involuntary radiation exposure permitted in schools, hospitals, workplaces, public and private spaces, etc. Other countries which have also used this AGNIR Report to support their heating-only limits will also now need to reject the AGNIR conclusions and revise the evidence based on the actual science and not on pro-industry 'inaccuracies'.
General criticism of Public Health England:
Public Health England's acceptance of individual Radiosensitivity since 1999. based on defective DNA repair:
(a) Public Health England accepts that some people have individual genetic radiosensitivity.
Public Health England also accepts that the fact that some people have individual genetic radiosensitivity raises ethical dilemmas if society allows levels of radiation dangerous to these specific groups and individuals.
Although these comments were written in relation to radiosensitivity from ionizing radiation, expert doctors nowadays accept that there are extensive overlaps between the ways ionizing and non-ionizing radiation affect the human body. Often the physical effects based on objective markers, such as DNA changes, cannot be differentiated between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. The dilemma recognized by PHE (HPA) and its AGIR over individual radiosensitivity and its ethical implications are relevant to radiosensistivity at low levels at other frequencies in the radio spectrum.
(AGIR: "Human Radiosensitivity" (HPA/PHE, 2013, pages 150-151)
(b) Public Health England accepts that individual genetic radio-hypersensitivity to cancers probably involves defective DNA repair:
(AGIR: "Genetic Heterogeneity in the Population and its Implications for Radiation Risk" (NRPB, 1999, p.36, 37)
NRPB (PHE, HPA): evidence of non-thermal effects in 2004:

UK: Reviews of 2004 and 2005
Irvine N: "Definition, Epidemiology and Management of Electrical Sensitivity" (Health Protection Agency, HPA-RPD-010, 2005)
Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has failed to provide robust and accurate information about the established dangers of radio frequency radiation.
On their webpage "Do mobile phones cause cancer?" updated October 5 2018 they made the following misleading claims:
In England the Advertizing Standards Authority (ASA) censored an information poster displayed in May 2017 by the non-profit Electrosensitivity UK (ES-UK). The poster stated, accurately according to the established majority science, that "More and more research is starting to show potential health risks" from man-made electromagnetic energy. The ASA did not produce a single "robust" peer-reviewed study to disprove the statement, but still censored it. The ASA claimed that they thought that the IARC's 2B classification as a "possible" human carcinogen did not mean that there was a "potential risk".
The NHS website, under the heading "Overview-Mobile phone safety" (reviewed 0/04/2016) makes misleading claims.
On the NHS page "Risks-Mobile phone safety" (reviewed 0/04/2016) there is the following instruction:
On the NHS page "FAQs-Mobile phone safety" (reviewed 0/04/2016) there is the following misleading statement:
Testimony to the FCC on disabling health effects of wireless radiation at levels above biological safety limits, as still used by the FCC, ICNIRP etc.:
FFC failure to follow majority science on wireless harm
FCC Broadband Development Advisory Committee mainly from wireless industry
FFC failure to answer requests
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NCRP
In 2014, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) posted "We recommend caution in cellphone use," on their website
Within weeks of posting their cell phone caution online, the passage was removed, along with a section that addressed potential risks of cell phone use for children. More than 500 pages of internal records suggest controversy at the agency over how to address cell phone risks, including disagreements about such risks among its scientists.
California Department of Public Health: 2008-2017
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Shelleyanne Chang ordered the state of California in March 2017 to turn over the final version of the "Cell Phones and Health" guidelines from 2014. In May 2017 the judge forced California health officials to turn over all the previous versions of the guidelines it had kept secret. Joel Moskowitz, a public health researcher at UC Berkeley who sued the state to force the release of the records, said state officials should never have withheld the warnings from the public. "It would have to be purely political to deny distributing this," Moskowitz said. "Science supports this."
In December 2017, after 9 years, California Department of Public Health issued an Advisory warning of the dangers of cellphone radiation. This was done under a Court Order. The California Department of Public Health's "Cell Phone Warning", cautioning children and pregnant women, was the same as one issued a decade previously by a top cancer center, the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, in 2007.

Farnum's proposal, ballot initiative no. 29, would make it illegal for cellphone providers to sell smartphones to children under the age of 13. The ban would require retailers to ask customers the age of the primary user of the smartphone and submit monthly adherence reports to the Colorado Department of Revenue."

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)
IEEE: to benefit its members and and the electronics industry, not primarily health
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) made recommendations which were part of the 1996 guidelines adopted by the FCC and the ICNIRP.
The IEEE does not conduct research into radio-frequency health effects.
US Government Officials stated 1976 that 10,000 microW/m2 is dangerous
"These beams have resulted in radiation densities within Chancery Offices and some apartments of personnel ranging from 1 to 15 microwatts per square centimeter."
"Our medical experts are of the considered opinion that prolonged exposure to microwave radiation at the levels measured in the U.S. embassy constitute a potential health hazard."

Media silence and industry spin
Individual pro-industry scientists
There have been leading scientists in many countries who rejected established evidence for biophysical and non-thermal effects of EMFs and wireless energy. Some have been physicists, unable to accept the complexities of quantum biology if that evidence clashes with what they believe is required by their preferred physics formulae. Good examples are (a) the beliefs in thermal noise dominating biological systems of resonances or coherences, and (b) linear dose-response beliefs discounting evidence for 'windows' of frequency effects.
Phainomena and Endoxa: This is not a new problem. Aristotle, in the fourth century BCE, can be seen as both the founder of evidence-based science and medicine ('phainomena'), and also the founder of the principles of physics ('endoxa'). Nevertheless he was able to hold both approaches together in a balanced methodology. The European medieval bias was towards Aristotle's principles or endoxa. This had to be corrected in the 1600s by a new emphasis on phainomena and a scientific evidence-based methodology by people like Bacon with his "Novum Organum" to replace Aristotle's "Organum", and Galileo. Isaac Newton's approach was mainly mathematical but focused more on astronomy and basic physics than on biophysical and biological systems, causing some physicists to undervalue biophysical evidence.
Some scientists, especially in the US, have been surprisingly dogmatic in rejecting biophysical and biological evidence, especially for non-thermal effects. Herman Schwan in 1953 chose safety limits based on his thermal belief or hypothesis, now long invalidated, that only heating can cause adverse effects. He was followed by a number of others who also put this non-thermal belief above evidence-based science, in a manner reminiscent of some European medieval churchmen. This small clique of like-minded believers in the thermal hypothesis seems to dominate groups like the FCC, ICNIRP and WHO, whereas the vast majority of scientists worldwide now accept non-thermal effects as established both for therapeutic and adverse roles.
Professor Robert Adair
Dr Robert Adair, Sterling Professor of Physics Emeritus at the University of Yale and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, wrote "Health Effects of Low-Intensity Electric and Magnetic Fields (and Scientific Error)" in about 2006 for the website of the American Council on Science and Health. In it, he asserted that public focus on threats to children's health should not include power-frequency electric and magnetic fields, because, in his words, "many published results of scientific research are wrong."
The media and regulators are often influenced by pro-industry groups, including government agencies.
This is true of many industries in addition to the Wireless, Cellphone and Power-line Industries, including: Asbestos, Chemicals, Food & Sugar, GM, Glyphosate and Pesticides, and Tobacco,
The pro-wireless private German group called ICNIRP was spun out of a pro-nuclear weapons radiation group and usually adopts pro-wireless viewpoints.
The US pro-wireless IEEE represents parts of the wireless industry.
The WHO's IARC had to remove Anders Ahlbom after his industry links were revealed.
A Canadian panel of the Royal Society of Canada had to remove Daniel Krewski after conflicting interests were revealed.
In the US there have been concerns about industry links by people in the FCC.
In England Sir Richard Doll, the scientist who confirmed the link between smoking and lung cancer, later switched to supporting some industries and was chair of England's NRPB pro-wireless and pro-power-line Advisory Group on Non-Ionising Radiation (AGNIR) from 1990 to 2003 denying serious adverse bioelectromagnetic effects at low levels of exposure.
Asbestos and Chemicals Industries:
Food and Sugar Industries:
GM, Glyphosate and Pesticides Industries:
Radiation Industry and WHO's subordination to IAEA:
Tobacco Industry:
Wireless, Cellphone and Power-line Industries:
One of the clearest examples of the systematic influence of the clique of pro-industry activists appears to be Wikipedia. It has been alleged that some editors are paid or expected to alter articles and entries in favor of the industry for which they work.
The Wikipedia entry on Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity used to have some balance between real physical EHS and psychological Electrophobia, with which it has sometimes been confused. Since 2016, however, it has been rewritten in a blatantly anti-scientific way, ignoring the established evidence since 1932 and instead pretending that all cases of real EHS are actually Electrophobia, without supplying convincing proof.
In fact it is not just conditions like EHS which have been misrepresented in Wikipedia. Much of natural medicine, organic farming and 'green' attempts to preserve life on planet Earth have also been unfairly condemned (see e.g. alternative medicine, dental amalgam controversy, Glyphosate, genetically modified crops, homeopathy, naturopathy, water fluoridation).

Date published: Sunday 9th July 2017 10:30
It might only be early-July, but Dietmar Hamann admits he "can't see beyond" Manchester City for the Premier League title.
City were expected to challenge next season but finished third after a disappointing debut campaign under Pep Guardiola.
There were signs of progress however, and the club have already signed Bernardo Silva and Ederson for a combined £77.9million this summer.
They are once more tipped to be one of the main challengers for the title this coming season, and former midfielder Hamann admits that he "can't see beyond them for the title".
"I'm not sure we will see a different Pep Guardiola next season – but I am certain we'll see a different Manchester City team this time," he said, as quoted by the Daily Mirror.
"I can't see beyond them for the title.
"Guardiola inherited an old, unbalanced squad with an ageing defence where all the full backs were the wrong side of 30.
"The squad was very poorly put together before Pep arrived, and given City's resources that was staggering really.
"I remember a game a couple of seasons ago they only had one outfield player under 30.
"And although they've tried to lower the age profile, signing Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne, John Stones and Jesus, I wasn't surprised when they struggled to keep up with Chelsea last season.
"Stones is a capable defender but he simply didn't have enough support last season, and in the end it was problems in defence that cost City. Those problems were coming for a while and should have been addressed.
"In attack I still don't think there's anyone more potent than City – and I think Jesus will be the star turn next season.
"He's clearly a talented boy with the right mindset."

Ek Aastha Aisi Bhee 30th May 2017 Written Episode Update
Ek Aastha Aisi Bhee 30th May 2017 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Balwan apologizing to Aastha and sits down on her feet. He tells that he didn't do anything. He tells that he went for jogging and didn't go there to meet Runjhun. He says I didn't see her in bad light. He tells that the goons were teasing her badly and I couldn't control my anger. He says I am Hanuman Bhakt and you are my Sita Mayya, and tells that I can't see anything happen to you or your family. He says I am telling you right that I was just saving her from goons. Aastha says I trust you, you don't need to give clarification. Balwan says Guru maa have decided to get us married, but I can't marry until you approve. Aastha says you are so good that anyone will want to get you married to her sister or daughter. Balwan thanks her and promises to keep Runjhun
Runjhun dances with Sharda. Sharda asks why you are dancing. Runjhun says she is happy as she will get engaged to balwan. Aastha and Ashok come there. Ashok says you are not married, and this alliance can be cancelled. Runjhun says I will marry for sure. Aastha tells her that Guru maa fixed her alliance to save her respect and says this marriage can break if some truth come out. Runjhun asks if she is jealous of her and don't want her to marry in the same house. Sharda says she is your sister. Runjhun asks why she is not happy with my happiness and tells that if this marriage, don't happens then that news will come on TV and then I will commit suicide. Ashok asks are you mad and says everyone is happy. Runjhun asks him to say if her eye lashes make up is fine.
Sharda tells Aastha that she understands what is she thinking and asks her to keep quiet thinking it as a Goddess' blessing. Aastha looks at the God idol. Kahan Ka Khuda Hai plays.s…..She comes near fountain thinking about Gurumaa, Runjhun and Sharda's words. She gets drenched by the fountain water. Shiv comes and asks her to move from there. He holds her and they fall on each other. Shiv asks the men to go. He asks Aastha why she was getting drenched in fountain water. Aastha says tears hide in water. Shiv asks why you were crying and asks her to share. Aastha thinks she can't tell him truth and tells that she is worried about her sister. Shiv holds her hand and asks her not to worry, says everything will be fine. Piya plays….
Runjhun and Balwan get engaged and make each other wear rings happily. Ashok congratulates Balwan. Guru maa thinks Aastha is my choice and I will do anything to hide the truth. Sharda hugs Lakshmi. Lakshmi says you shall be happy and asks her to do Runjhun's marriage happily. Sharda thanks Guru maa for settling down both daughters. Guru maa tells that God made sanjog. Aastha looks at Guru maa.
Guru maa gives money to the goons who comes to her in Pandit's avatar and tells that you have handled the garden work nicely. It shows that they are the same men who misbehaved with Runjhun. Guru maa asks them to go. Aastha comes and asks why did you give them money and what you were saying? Guru maa says whatever you see might not be true? She tells that these people are same, whom gave me video and I paid them. Aastha apologizes to Guru maa and asks her to find way to tell her truth to family. Guru maa tells that she has no option than to keep quiet, else Runjhun's marriage will break and she has to think about family's respect too. Aastha tells that she will be keep quiet till Runjhun's marriage and then will tell everyone. Gurumaa thinks she will make her Aasthik before Runjhun's marriage, and will make her bend her head infront of her before God. She asks Aastha to come and asks why do you don't believe on God?
She says you didn't find any big aasthik before, and tells that she is God's param bhakt. She says once you see God's miracle then you will start believing on God. Aastha tells that she respect her thoughts, but she can't hide truth from her family. Guru maa says if a lie is hidden for someone's betterment then it is not a lie. Aastha tells if a lie becomes burden then it becomes sin. Guru maa gets angry and tells that God want that you don't tell anything to anyone. Aastha says if this has happened, then you wouldn't have told Satya is Shiv, Shiv is Satya. Guru maa folds her hands and apologizes to God and asks him to make her Aasthik. She tells Aastha that God has given her message, says tomorrow is your muh dikhayi and God will do some miracle and whatever God sends me message, you will follow that.
Guru maa tells everyone that Aastha is a God's child and God will do some miracle today. She says Jai Maa Durga and flower garland from Goddess' neck falls on Aastha's neck. Everyone is shocked.

Finalists for the £30,000 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award will be announced on Tuesday September 19.
The judging panel of leading business people, journalists and academics can select a shortlist of up to six books that provide "the most compelling and enjoyable insight into modern business issues".
The shortlist will be published here along with full analysis of the judging process and interactive features. The September 19 print edition of the Financial Times will also feature the shortlisted titles.

Rather than going with the more traditional gingerbread house, Norma, the bakery at Le Parker Meridien hotel, decided to create a spectacle specific to NYC for City Harvest's Gingerbread Extravaganza. The pastry chefs looked to their immediate memories and decided to pay tribute to the infamous giant construction crane that dangled precariously over 57th St. during Hurricane Sandy. Complete with a street scene of concerned gingerbread men and women, the candy Hurri-Crane could nab the winning vote in this year's contest.
On October 29th, the crane on a $1.5 billion luxury high-rise construction site partially toppled over from the Hurricane Sandy's high winds. Although no injuries were reported, the guests and staff at the luxurious Le Parker Meridien were told to evacuate.
Norma's delicious gingerbread creation adorns the hall that was once left empty after the mass exodus. The soaring gingerbread replica of the half-built high rise is covered with aqua and grey fondant, except for the exposed gingerbread at the top representing the floors still under construction. A candy cane crane is affixed to the front of the gingerbread high-rise, with a broken red and white extension dangling precariously over the street scene below.
The lively street scene is chock full of gingerbread New Yorkers. Street signs are drawn out in detailed frosting, while fondant police barricades block off the site. Cookie taxi cabs, fire trucks and pedestrians are deliciously anchored to the fondant blacktop with white frosting.
The ginger spice Hurri-crane will be on display at Le Parker Meridien until January 6th.

equivalent results, is to estimate the cash flows to the firm prior to debt payments, but
after reinvestment needs have been met:
Earnings before interest and taxes (1 - tax rate)
– (Capital Expenditures - Depreciation)
– Change in Non-cash Working Capital
= Free Cash Flow to the Firm
The difference between capital expenditures and depreciation (net capital expenditures)
and the increase in non-cash working capital represent the reinvestment made by the firm
to generate future growth. Another way of presenting the same equation is to add the net
capital expenditures and the change in working capital, and state that value as a
percentage of the after-tax operating income. This ratio of reinvestment to after-tax
operating income is called the reinvestment rate, and the free cash flow to the firm can
be written as:
(Capital Expenditures - Depreciation + " Working Capital) )
Reinvestment Rate =
EBIT (1- tax rate)
Free Cash Flow to the Firm = EBIT (1-t) (1 – Reinvestment Rate)
Note that the reinvestment rate can exceed 100%17, if the firm has substantial
reinvestment needs. If that occurs, the free cash flow to a firm will be negative even
though after-tax operating income is positive. The cash flow to the firm is often termed
an unlevered cash flow, because it is unaffected by debt payments or the tax benefits18
flowing from these payments.
As with the dividends and the FCFE, the value of the operating assets of a firm
can be written as the present value of the expected cashflows during the high growth
period and a terminal value at the end of the period:
t =n
E(FCFF) t Terminal Value n E(FCFF) n +1
" (1 + r)t
Value 0 = + where Terminal Value n =
(1 + r) n (rn - g n )
t =1
where r is the cost of capital and gn is the expected growth rate in perpetuity.
17 In practical terms, this firm will need external financing, either from debt or equity or both, to cover the
excess reinvestment.
18 If you are wondering where the tax benefits from interest payments, which are real cash benefits, show
up, it is in the discount rate, when we compute the after-tax cost of debt. If we add this tax benefit as a cash
flow to the free cash flow to the firm, we will double count the tax benefit.
Estimating Model Inputs
As with the dividend discount and the FCFE discount models, there are four basic
components that go into the value of the operating assets of the firm – a period of high
growth, the free cashflows to the firm during that period, the cost of capital to use as a
discount rate and the terminal value for the operating assets of the firm. We have
additional steps we need to take to get to the value of equity per share. In particular, we
have to incorporate the value of non-operating assets, subtract out debt and then consider
the effect of options outstanding on the equity of the firm.
a. Estimating FCFF during High Growth Period
We base our estimate of a firm's value on expected future cash flows, not current
cash flows. It is the forecasts of earnings, net capital expenditures and working capital
that will yield these expected cash flows. One of the most significant inputs into any
valuation is the expected growth rate in operating income. As with the growth rates we
estimated for dividends and net income, the variables that determine expected growth are
simple. The expected growth in operating income is a product of a firm's reinvestment
rate, i.e., the proportion of the after-tax operating income that is invested in net capital
expenditures and non-cash working capital, and the quality of these reinvestments,
measured as the after-tax return on the capital invested.
Expected GrowthEBIT = Reinvestment Rate * Return on Capital
Capital Expenditure - Depreciation + ! Non - cash WC
Reinvestment Rate =
EBIT (1 - tax rate)
Return on Capital = EBIT (1-t) / (Book value of Debt + Book value of equity)
Both measures should be forward looking, and the return on capital should represent the
expected return on capital on future investments. In the rest of this section, we will
consider how best to estimate the reinvestment rate and the return on capital.
The reinvestment rate is often measured using a firm's past history on reinvestment.
Although this is a good place to start, it is not necessarily the best estimate of the future
reinvestment rate. A firm's reinvestment rate can ebb and flow, especially in firms that
invest in relatively few large projects or acquisitions. For these firms, looking at an
average reinvestment rate over time may be a better measure of the future. In addition, as
firms grow and mature, their reinvestment needs (and rates) tend to decrease. For firms
that have expanded significantly over the last few years, the historical reinvestment rate is
likely to be higher than the expected future reinvestment rate. For these firms, industry
averages for reinvestment rates may provide a better indication of the future than using
numbers from the past. Finally, it is important that we continue treating R&D expenses
and operating lease expenses consistently. The R&D expenses, in particular, need to be
categorized as part of capital expenditures for purposes of measuring the reinvestment
The return on capital is often based upon the firm's return on capital on existing
investments, where the book value of capital is assumed to measure the capital invested
in these investments. Implicitly, we assume that the current accounting return on capital
is a good measure of the true returns earned on existing investments, and that this return
is a good proxy for returns that will be made on future investments. This assumption, of
course, is open to question if the book value of capital is not a good measure of the
capital invested in existing projects and/or if the operating income is mis-measured or
volatile. Given these concerns, we should consider not only a firm's current return on
capital, but also any trends in this return as well as the industry average return on capital.
If the current return on capital for a firm is significantly higher than the industry average,
the forecasted return on capital should be set lower than the current return to reflect the
erosion that is likely to occur as competition responds.
Finally, any firm that earns a return on capital greater than its cost of capital is
earning an excess return. These excess returns are the result of a firm's competitive
advantages or barriers to entry into the industry. High excess returns locked in for very
long periods imply that this firm has a permanent competitive advantage.
In Practice: After-tax Operating Income
The income statement for a firm provides a measure of the operating income of the
firm in the form of the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and a tax rate in the
form of an effective tax rate. Since the operating income we would like to estimate is
before capital and financing expenses, we have to make at least three adjustments to the
accounting operating income:
The first adjustment is for financing expenses that accountants treat as operating
expenses. The most significant example is operating leases. Since these lease
payments constitute firm commitments into the future, they are tax deductible, and
the failure to make lease payments can result in bankruptcy, we treat these expenses
as financial expenses. The adjustment, which we describe in detail in chapter 4,
results in an increase in both the operating income and the debt outstanding at the
The second adjustment is to correct for the incidence of one-time or irregular income
and expenses. Any expense (or income) that is truly a one-time expense (or income)
should be removed from the operating income and should not be used in forecasting
future operating income. While this would seem to indicate that all extraordinary
charges should be expunged from operating income, there are some extraordinary
charges that seem to occur at regular intervals – say once every four or five years.
Such expenses should be viewed as "irregular" rather than extraordinary expenses
and should be built into forecasts. The easiest way to do this is to annualize the
expense. Put simply, this would mean taking one-fifth of any expense that occurs
once every five years, and computing the income based on this apportioned expense.
As for the tax rate, the effective tax rates reported by most firms are much lower than the
marginal tax rates. As with the operating income, we should look at the reasons for the
difference and see if these firms can maintain their lower tax rates. If they cannot, it is
prudent to shift to marginal tax rates in computing future after-tax operating income.
Illustration 12.6: Estimating Growth Rate in Operating Income - Disney
We begin by estimating the reinvestment rate and return on capital for Disney in
2003, using the numbers from the latest financial statements. We did convert operating
leases into debt and adjusted the operating income and capital expenditure accordingly.19
Reinvestment Rate2003 = (Cap Ex – Depreciation + Chg in non-cash WC)/ EBIT (1-t)
19The book value of debt is augmented by the $1,753 million in present value of operating lease
commitments. The unadjusted operating income for Disney was $2,713 million. The operating lease
adjustment adds the inputed interest expense on the PV of operating leases to the operating income (5.25%
of $1753 million= $92 million), the current year's operating lease expense to capital expenditures ($556
million) and the depreciation on the leased asset to depreciation ($195 million).
= (1735 – 1253 + 454)/(2805(1-.373)) = 53.18%
Return on capital2003 = EBIT (1-t)2003/ (BV of Debt2002 + BV of Equity2002)
= 2805 (1-.373)/ (15,883+23,879) = 4.42%
If Disney maintains its 2003 reinvestment rate and return on capital for the next few
years, its growth rate will be only 2.35%.
Expected Growth Rate from existing fundamentals = 53.18% * 4.42% = 2.35%
To make our estimates for the future, we look at Disney's returns on capital and
reinvestment rates from 1995 to 2003 in Figure 12.5:
Note the dramatic drop in the return on capital after the Capital Cities acquisition from
more than 19% in 1997 to less than 10% in 1998.20 While this may sound optimistic, we
will assume that Disney will be able to earn a return on capital of 12% on its new
investments and that the reinvestment rate will be 60% for the immediate future.21 The
expected growth in operating income over this period will be 7.20%.
20 Part of this drop can be explained by accounting factors; the acquisition of Capital Cities increased the
book value of equity and debt substantially.
21 We are, however, leaving the return on capital on existing investments at 4.55% since improving those
returns will be much more difficult to do.
Expected Growth Rate in operating income = Return on capital * Reinvestment Rate
= 12% * .60 = 7.20%
fundgrEB.xls: There is a dataset on the web that summarizes reinvestment rates
and return on capital by industry group in the United States for the most recent quarter.
b. Estimating Cost of Capital
Unlike equity valuation models, where the cost of equity is used to discount
cashflows to equity, the cost of capital is used to discount cashflows to the firm. The cost
of capital is a composite cost of financing that includes the costs of both debt and equity
and their relative weights in the financing structure:
Cost of Capital = kequity (Equity/(Debt+Equity) + kdebt (Debt/(Debt + Equity)
where the cost of equity represents the rate of return required by equity investors in the
firm, and the cost of debt measures the current cost of borrowing, adjusted for the tax
benefits of borrowing. The weights on debt and equity have to be market value weights.
We discussed the cost of capital estimation extensively earlier in this book, in the context
of both investment analysis and capital structure. We will consider each of the inputs in
the model, in the context of valuing a firm.
The cost of equity, as we have defined it through this book, is a function of the non-
diversifiable risk in an investment, which, in turn, is measured by a beta (in the single
factor model) or betas (in the multiple factor models). We argued that the beta(s) are
better measured by looking at the average beta(s) of other firms in the business, i.e,
bottom-up estimates, and reflecting a firm's current business mix and leverage. This
argument is augmented, when we value companies, by the fact that a firm's expected
business mix and financial leverage can change over time, and its beta will change with
both. As the beta changes, the cost of equity will also change, from year to year.
Just as the cost of equity can change over time as a firm's exposure to market risk
changes, so too can the cost of debt, as its exposure to default risk changes. The default
risk of a firm can be expected to change for two reasons. One is that the firm's size will
change as we project earnings further into the future; the volatility in these earnings is
also likely to change over time. The second reason is that changes occur in financial
leverage. If we expect a firm's financial leverage to change over time, it will affect its
capacity to service debt and hence its cost of borrowing. The after-tax cost of debt can
also change as a consequence of expected changes in the tax rate over time.
As a firm changes its leverage, the weights attached to equity and debt in the cost
of capital computation will change. Should a firm's leverage be changed over the forecast
period? The answer to this depends upon two factors. The first is whether the firm is
initially under or over levered. If it is at its appropriate leverage, there is a far smaller
need to change leverage in the future. The second is the views of the firm's management
and the degree to which they are responsive to the firm's stockholders. Thus, if the
management of a firm is firmly entrenched and steadfast in its opposition to debt, an
under levered firm will stay under levered over time. In an environment where
stockholder have more power, there will eventually be pressure on this firm to increase
its leverage toward its optimal level.
Illustration 12.7: Cost of capital - Disney
Recapping the inputs we used to estimate the cost of capital in Disney, we will
make the following assumptions:
The beta for the first 5 years will be the bottom-up beta of 1.2456 that we
estimated in illustration 4.5. In conjunction with a riskfree rate of 4% and market
risk premium of 4.82%, this yields a cost of equity of 10%.
Cost of Equity = Riskfree Rate + Beta * Risk Premium = 4% + 1.2456(4.82%) = 10%
The cost of debt for Disney for the first 5 years, based upon its rating of BBB+, is
5.25%. Using Disney's tax rate of 37.30% gives us an after-tax cost of debt of
After-tax cost of debt = 5.25% (1-.373) = 3.29%

Based on the 1942 novel by John Steinbeck by the same name, 20th Century Fox's 1943 ode to freedom The Moon Is Down centers on the Nazi invasion of a small costal Norwegian town during the very midst of World War II. While the book was a bit vague on the identities of the invading force, the movie - written by The Dirty Dozen screenwriter Nunnally Johnson - is as blatant as can be as to who the villains are. We begin with an extended shot of a typically angry Führer (or rather, his overly-expressive hands) shouting in his native tongue that Germany must occupy Norway. And, immediately after the credits have rolled, a large division of Nazis troops parachute in just in time to slaughter the local (tiny) military unit that's away on a routine training mission - making way for the baddies to simply walk into town and declare it theirs.
Leading the invasion is a bored Col. Lanser (Sir Cedric Hardwicke), who has been there and done that so many times over that he knows what to expect from a community such as this. And he gets it - big time - from the previously peaceful folks of the sleepy Norwegian town who don't approve of being occupied and forced to do that which they have no desire to do. Everyone's favorite classic movie angel, the great Henry Travers, plays the town's mayor - whose home is taken over by Lanser and his cronies in hopes he will be unable to persuade his people to rebel. Lee J. Cobb is Travers' longtime doctor pal, and Dorris Bowdon (the wife of screenwriter Johnson, who essentially retired from film after this) portrays a recently widowed housewife who unwittingly attracts the attention of a lovesick Nazi lieutenant (a young Peter van Eyck, in his first credited film role).
Irving Pichel (Dracula's Daughter) directs this fairly engaging drama about the triumph of the oppressed, tossing in a number of familiar faces (or soon-to-be-familiar faces) to fill in the bit parts including Jeff Corey, John Mylong (Robot Monster), and a young girl by the name of Natalie Wood - whom Pichel discovered and cast here in what turned out to be the doomed actress' debut. Fox brings this seldom seem WWII ditty to DVD via the Fox Cinema Archives, and presents the film in a more-than-passable presentation with a clear and precise mono soundtrack. There are no special features included with this release, but - if the subject matter doesn't appeal to any of you classic movie aficionados out there - the impressive cast of leads and extras alike might keep your brain occupied long enough to play "Oh, who is that person?!" for the better part of an hour-and-a-half.
I s'pose that should suffice if nothing else.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Heightening competitive pressure from Toyota Motor has given rise to the one-time unthinkable notion that Japan's largest automaker will unseat giant General Motors in terms of global market share.
Reporters grilled GM executives on the touchy subject at the Detroit auto show this week, and while acknowledging the scrum that lies ahead, CEO Rick Wagoner and company vowed to keep fighting.
"The game will be won by which company rolls out the best products in the most receptive markets," said Wagoner. "We really need to focus on big growth markets like China, Korea, Russia, etc."
But if GM GM, +0.51% fails to turn the tide, the world's largest automaker could lose its market share crown by the end of the decade. Toyota has targeted about 15 percent share at that point. General Motors held 14 percent of the global pie in 2004.
In the United States, the Toyota juggernaut is equally impressive as it roars toward displacing DaimlerChrysler in the Big Three.
Collectively, GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler saw their market share fall to an all-time low of 58 percent in 2004.
"This is not a birthright. We have to execute. If we do that, it's our game to win."
Last month, automotive research firm CSM Worldwide caused a stir when it predicted that Toyota TM, +1.59% would wrestle the third spot by 2009.
Toyota, at the time, held about 12 percent of the U.S. market, but CSM said it sees that figure growing to 14.1 percent within five years, which would be enough to supplant DaimlerChrysler DCX
"Robust growth for the automaker will stem from an unrelenting product offensive, intensified effort in the luxury market, incremental volume from Scion, and strong brand equity," said analyst Joseph Barker.
Lexus sales are pegged to grow 40 percent by 2009, with the 2006 GS luxury sport sedan leading the new product offensive while Scion will continue to attract a new, younger demographic, Barker said.
General Motors maintains a stranglehold with about 27 percent of the market, although that number has been steadily declining. Ford F, +1.43% comes in second at about 18 percent.
At the Detroit show, both GM and Toyota unveiled vehicles that drew mostly positive feedback. GM opened the show with its strategy for alternative fuel sources with the Graphyte hybrid and Sequel fuel cell concept vehicles. See full story.
Highlights from Toyota included the Lexus LF-A concept and the Toyota Avalon sedan, due to hit showrooms in February.
Kevin Smith, an auto expert at Edmunds.com, said domestic automakers made the expected, strong showing at the big auto show but said that it probably won't change the well-established trend.
"The home teams played very well in Detroit," he said, "but that doesn't translate into shifting the market share momentum away from the Japanese."
By all counts, General Motors has its back against the wall amid flagging sales and healthcare/pension concerns, but Wagoner still remains mostly sanguine about GM's global market share crown.
"This is not a birthright," Wagoner said. "We have to execute. If we do that, it's our game to win."

Anyone know how to successfully change the yumi.png file so that the picture will actually show up?

Opening Coconuts
Young coconuts and brown coconuts have different shell consistencies, so they have to be opened differently. We'd also strongly recommend using different tools.
Opening ripe brown coconuts
You can easily open up ripe brown ('hairy') coconuts using a hammer. Hold the coconut firmly in own hand or place it on a hard surface and create a faultline along the middle by hitting the sides in a horizontal ring. To do so, turn it around incrementally while hitting it on the side until it starts to crack and you see the delicious white meat. If you don't happen to have a hammer available, you can also use a sturdy kitchen knife (blunt side) or any other hard edge (e.g. the curb). Watch this video for a demonstration:
Opening Young Coconuts
Coconut openers
There are special tools that were developed specifically to open up young coconuts. You can find them in our shop.
In Brazil, coconut street vendors have a cart equipped with a tap made specially for quickly opening coconuts in a matter of seconds - the Cocomobile. If you come to one of our events with young coconuts you can see it in action.
When you've finished drinking the water, you can halve the coconut to get at the jelly-like meat. The ideal tool for the task is a cleaver or a sturdy sharp knife. Alternatively, you can also slam the coconut against a sharp stone or on the ground to break open the husk, thereby exposing the shell. That's how monkeys do it!
The machete is the traditional tool for slicing open coconuts in Asia. One precise stroke is enough to 'decapitate' a young coconut. But be careful not to chop off your fingers in the process!

It is about the exposure you get when you play teams from the northeast, not necessarily about the conference. The top of mind does increase enrollment. Most who follow this stuff feel we can ramp up our exposure by starting to play teams from there again. As far as the other posters comment about the Northeast decreasing...it doesn't matter they still dwarf the other parts of the country in population and income. They are the main ones paying the higher out of state tuition.
PS Losing Maryland is a big loss for us. IMHO we need to get back in that region so we are top of mind again.

Our Commitment to Concrete Action
Social Responsibility
Social responsibility has become commonplace over the years, and yet, it is often still seen as a gateway to a clean conscience rather than a commitment.
At Humania Assurance, we are committed to serving all our partners and the people we insure, and to making a contribution to the social, economic and environmental progress of our communities. Our company is always ready to make a contribution, monetary or otherwise, to concrete actions.
Community involvement
Every year employees and Humania Assurance come together to contribute to the annual Centraide Richelieu-Yamaska campaign. The generosity of our employees, their participation in the activities and the company's contribution to the 2016 campaign made it a resounding success yet again!
In 2014, Humania Assurance agreed to forge a partnership with the city of Saint-Hyacinthe to provide fifteen years of support for a cultural centre that brings the region's sociocultural organizations together under one roof. The Company pledged a total of $300,000 toward this municipal building, which is called Centre culturel Humania Assurance.
For sixteen years, the company has also supported Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe's week of activities promoting professional behaviour for students in various programs. The Company has also been contributing to the 2011-2016 fundraising campaign for the Fondation du Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, which provides financial aid to students.
Humania Assurance is proud to be involved in a range of causes related to health, youth and community organizations. The company supports the efforts of l'Hôtel-Dieu's Fondation Aline-Letendre in Saint-Hyacinthe to improve the lives of its long-term residents. It is also a major sponsor of the Défi Vélo Santé (cycling fundraiser) organized during the summer.
The Société de coopération pour le développement international (SOCODEVI) is a Canadian network of cooperatives and mutuals that share their technical expertise and know-how with their partners in developing countries. The goal: to create, protect and distribute wealth among the poorest populations.
In November 2016, Danielle Lacombe, Director of Human Resources at Humania Assurance travelled to Colombia to take part in a six-year project, called PROCOMPITE, launched in March 2014 aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of rural associative enterprises. The project works to bolster the production and entrepreneurial capacities of more than 6,000 farmers (3,000 families) in various departments of Colombia. The mission's primary objective was to provide to local managers, in their efforts to develop and implement customized human resource, strategies and tools for PROCOMPITE.
In September 2016, three members of the SOCODEVI network, including Sandrine Lahure of Humania Assurance, took part in a mission to raise awareness about international cooperation in Bolivia and the challenges of the cooperative movement.
"In 2016, Humania Assurance offered us the chance to take part in a contest organized by SOCODEVI to win a trip to Bolivia. I was one of the three lucky winners. The purpose of the trip was to raise awareness about international cooperation issues and to learn about the country's incredibly rich culture.
Throughout our stay, we were warmly received in the chocolate, quinoa and oregano cooperatives that SOCODEVI supports.
I was witness to the meaningful work that SOCODEVI does to help the cooperatives develop sustainably, to help the local population take charge of their project, and to promote gender equality.
This trip was, without a doubt, one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever been afforded."

And this are probably the reasons why:
1.Maybe I don't like them because in my house nobody ever wore even a watch,my parents never used a marriage ring and my mom barely uses earrings.
2.I always have my hands busy with something, paint,clay,plaster....So,If you are a creative person and you wear rings you feel very limited, for me is like been handicap (sorry to say that but I mean my hands are very important to me)
3.I need my hands to be free.
But still my favourite gem stone is Amethyst, I just love the geometric shapes the earthy look and the colour, not that I am found of violet but I like it.

Free Healthy Recipe - Watercress and Watermelon Salad
Low carbohydrate, Low fat, Low GI, Wheat Free
If you haven't yet tried yoghurt cheese do seek some out: available from good delis and some health food stores it's stored in olive oil often with some additional herbs. If you can't find it anywhere try substituting it with a soft mild flavoured goat's cheese. Both are easier to digest than cow's milk cheese.
2 cups watercress, trimmed
1 bunch fresh mint
½ cup cucumber, grated
2 kaffir lime leaves finely sliced
1 small red chilli, deseeded and chopped finely
2 tbsp preserved lemons or lime, chopped
1 cup seedless watermelon, cut into chunks
150 grams yoghurt cheese
Copyright John Paul Urizar
Wash the watercress and mint. In a small bowl combine the grated cucumber, kaffir lime, chilli and preserved lemons. Arrange the greens on individual plates with the cucumber in the centre.
Note: Watermelon is a cousin of the cucumber and like a cucumber contains small white edible seeds called "initials".

Thomas M., Kristen Sold My Hollister Home
One of the most important decisions you will make when moving is deciding on your real estate agent. Believe me, I know. We have moved 5 times in the past 12 years and between selling and buying we have had our share of agents. Some good, some bad, and some terrible. Kristen has been amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to list their home in the San Benito County area.
When you are looking for an agent you need someone who is transparent and will give you the details up front. Transparency is Kristen's specialty. She was upfront with what she thought the value of our home would be as well as a straight forward strategy on how to get the best price in this challenging market. Her projections were right on the money. Not only did we sell in less than a week, but we had multiple bidders and were able to get a better price.
You need an agent who is friendly and polite, but can be agressive and bold when needed. Kristen is a great balance of both. She is extremely friendly and complementary, but when it came time to be aggressive and fight for us, she was right there.
If you are looking for an agent, I can't recommend Kristen enough. Please give her a call and see for yourself. I rarely give 5 stars to any of my Yelp review, but she deserves 6 from the professionalism and expertise she brought to the sale of our home.
Bret T., Kristen Helped Me Relocate from San Jose and Buy a Home in Hollister
Kristen really knows her stuff and goes above and beyond to get her clients exactly what they want. She is professional and organized, extremely patient and never pushy. She got me the house and location I wanted in a VERY competitive market while keeping within my budget. her service to her clients doesn't stop once the deal is done, she has continued to check in to make sure everything is ok, and provides valuable local insight to those new to the area. I would HIGHLY recommend Kristen to anyone looking to buy or sell in the south bay or Hollister areas.
Barbara B., Kristen Sold My Home in Ridgemark
We could not have been happier with Kristen. She went out of the way to help us at a very sad time in our lives and she could not have been more professional. She was able to sell for us when none of the other condos on the same street were selling and got more than we were expecting.
She took care of everything and we never expected all the extra help she gave us above and beyond her job.
We would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She will exceed your highest expectations as she did ours.
Art C., Kristen Helped Me Buy a Hollister Home
I was a first time home buyer and clueless of where to start. Kristen pointed me in the rite direction on how to start and took me step by step thru the whole process and went above and beyond to help me get into my dream home. She was a great pleasure to work with very knowledgeable loves what she does and gives you 110 percent all the time and makes what can be a pain staking process to buy a home a very wonderful experience. Hands down she is a great realtor !!!! Thank You Kristen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gina G., Lender working with Kristen
Kristen and I have worked together several times over the last year with her acting as the client's Realtor and me doing their mortgage. She is great to work with and has the client's best interest in mind. She is always meticulous in her efforts to get the transaction closed. I would highly recommend her.
Matt P., Kristen Helped Me Buy and Sell My Hollister Home
Kristen was very helpful. As a first time home buyer she made to experience very easy for me. She kept me informed on everything that was going on. I highly recommend Kristen for your reality needs. Kristen is VERY friendly and hard working and knows her trade.
Kristen is a great realtor. Kristen acted quick on everything to get my townhouse. We had a small time frame to get everything done and she made that happen. She explained everything to me and made sure I understood everything. There was a time that I was frustrated with the process of getting townhouse and she assured me that it was normal procedure and to hang in there. I would refer Kristen to anyone who is looking to purchase a home and I would use her again if needed. Thanks Kristen you did a great job and I'm so happy with my new purchase.Nancy G., Kristen Helped Me Buy a Hollister Townhouse
Sandy P., Kristen Helped My Family Move
Kristen is a Great realtor and person. She went over and beyond what a relator I know would do for you. She helped my family purchase a home and when they where having their baby she even brought the papers to them and keys and asked if she could help out with anything else! Kristen is a real people person and if I were buying a home she would be the one for me.
Michele M., Purchased a Home with Kristen
It's been almost 3 years since we bought our house through you you are not only a great real estate agent but an awesome friend! Thank you for taking care of us! I think everyone should buy their house through you!!!!

The first month of patches, as photographed in yellow.
(There are CFL bulbs in one ceiling fixture.)
The last block of the month, and the year in this case. The first month of patches is now done. This patch got itself 60 stitches, for the 60 birthdays it represents.
Mom told me I was a nice tax deduction for the whole year.
New years eve was never the same for our family, but my brother had his 8th Christmas with his mom home! Which was important for her.
(in those days, they kept you in the hospital for a few days after giving birth.)
Even though there are only 48 rose buds on this cake, it did mean a flower for everyone! An important factor to this Gup and her granddaughters.
{I suppose if I changed the "year end" to "rear end" this post would end up on a kinky page of searches.}

Getting The Most Out From The Tanzania Safari Tour

If you happen to be into safaris or if you have dreamed of going into one, we suggest that you try Tanzania since this country is not only known for being the oldest inhabited area in the world, they also take pride on the many different wild animals and exotic birds they have. Furthermore, it has been said that in Tanzania, there lies the highest mountain in the whole of the African continent. Yes, it is true that the safari tours in Tanzania will give you the most fun and exciting day of your life, but we want you to keep in mind all the time that just like any other holiday destinations around the world, there is a need for you to make a plan ahead of your tour so that you can ensure that your trip will become as memorable as you wish is to be.
If you are going to make a plan for your Tanzania safari tour, there are several important factors that you must consider and one of which is to know as well as visit the top attractions in the country. When you plan on going to Tanzania for a safari tour, know that this is not the only thing that you can do and the only place you can visit as the said country has so much to offer you. We suggest that you visit the topmost areas in Tanzania as part of your safari list and this may include trekking and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, an inactive volcanic mountain, as this way, you will get the chance of seeing the volcanic cones. There are other interesting places that you can include for your safari tour like the Pemba Island, the Serengeti National Park, the Ruaha National Park as well as the Ngongoro Conservation Area and all these places are interesting in their own.
It is also of utmost importance on your end to make sure that you include in your plan the hiring of a tour guide and the choosing of the right tour package to avail as well. There is no need for you to look far and wide since Tanzania already has different tour companies that are putting together safari packages that will match the varying preferences and tastes of their tourists and visitors. Make sure that you choose the right tour company and check the safari package they have as this way, you can assure yourself that you will be getting the things you wish to enjoy during the tour.

Already in 2009, I have a Vegas trip lined up at the end of February and also have job searching lined up as well. By the end of June, my facility will be shut down and I will have to be somewhere else by then which is great because I just bought this house not even 6 months ago.
In geek news, the Watchmen comes out in less than two months, followed by the Wolverine prequel, and the sixth Harry Potter. Those movies and few others head up a rather unspectacular year to come in movies.
I'm tired of it being cold, not tired of snow though, not yet.

Advanced Glaucoma Treatment in India
Glaucoma attacks the drainage system of the eyes and it is specifically the leading cause of blindness or loss of vision among human beings. Glaucoma establishes it's self with a number of symptoms, but pressure is the number one factor that you will first experience with Glaucoma
Therefore, Glaucoma refers to the eye condition where there is increased pressure within one eye or both eyes. In case left untreated, it leads to peripheral vision loss and later total blindness
There are various types of Glaucoma and any of them must be detected before Glaucoma Treatment in India and they include;
Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma
It manifests its self suddenly. Within hours, the pressure in the eyes builds up and one will experience headaches, nausea, halos around light, red eyes, and dilated pupils among others.
Normal Tension Glaucoma
With this type of Glaucoma, there is no increased pressure in the eyes, but the problem lies with the optic nerve which is damaged. The IOP remains normal
Congenital Glaucoma
This type of Glaucoma is said to be present at birth, but usually detected at the age of 1 or 1 and a half years.
Secondary Glaucoma
It is as a result of chronic glaucoma accompanied by eye injuries, which leads to other elevated eye issues like inflammation
Acute (Angle Closure) Glaucoma
It is as a result of the drainage system being blocked
Possible Treatments
1. Glaucoma Laser Surgeries
Advanced technology has introduced us to a number of laser surgeries that can treat Glaucoma by reducing the pressure within the eyes. The selected laser surgery depends on the type of Glaucoma one suffers from
Other treatments include;
- Medications
- Drainage Implants
- Viscocanalostomy (Filtering surgery)
- Conventional Surgery
