Every day, there are Filipinos approved to work overseas. Being an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) is not simple. In fact, being away from your family, embracing a whole new culture is difficult. This is why the Philippine government plans on establishing a sole Philippine department for the welfare of OFWs.
Are you an expecting OFW? Have you been approved for a job abroad? Or do you know someone who is?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, be mindful of fakes. The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) warned all expecting OFWs to be wary and cautious of messaging the Facebook page of the POEA.
Fake POEA Facebook accounts
Apparently, there have are fraudsters and cyber-criminals who put up a different and fake POEA Facebook account. They’re using the name of the agency as well as some of its officials.
Even the logo of the POEA is something they were able to duplicate.
What do these fake POEA accounts do?
To be able to execute their fraud properly, they offer fake jobs from different countries. Being a Filipino who yearns for a lucrative salary abroad, you would definitely bite this opportunity.
The POEA was able to track these fake accounts due to the growing number of complaints that they’ve received form people. These people fell victim to these fraudsters and somehow share personal information about them.
What these fraudsters do is that they ask people who bite their hooks to deposit some sort of a reservation or application fee. Then, the money that they deposited will just turn into bubbles.
According to the POEA, these fake accounts are done professionally; they even listed some of the names of their officials as well as officials of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
What does the POEA have to say about this?
Due to the increasing number of complainants, Bernard Olalia, Administrator of the POEA, clarified that the POEA does not market or advertise jobs on Facebook.
Moreover, the POEA won’t also charge you of an application or a reservation fee until an individual gets a job.
Hindi kami nag-a-advertise ng jobs sa Facebook. We do that sa official website.”
How can expecting OFWs avoid these scams?
According to Olalia, because of the newly-signed labor pact with Russia, Filipinos are eager to apply as an OFW there. Adding the continuous request to work in Israel as a hotel housekeeper, many fraudsters had the idea to duplicate POEA accounts.
Know the correct process
Olalia reminded everyone that it’s only with POEA that they can apply government-to-government. It doesn’t have to go through a different agency. Should expecting OFWs to encounter an agency, however, they need to check its legitimacy on the POEA website.
In addition to that, Olalia also said that if there’s an application or reservation fee, it’s better to do it at the POEA office to be sure. They clarified further that the only way they get payments is through their cashiers – not online.
Check the Facebook page first
If you see that the page only has a few hundred likes, chances are, it’s a fake POEA Facebook account. POEA is one of the nation’s most famous Facebook pages because of its announcements and information.
Seeing a weird figure should immediately make you think twice about messaging them.
Ask other people
The good thing about social media is that you can communicate with people right then and there. If you see a weird-looking POEA Facebook account, ask people who shared their thoughts about it.
Read comments to know whether it’s legit or it’s fake. Most of the time, looking at these things will actually make you realize that you’re dealing with fake, hoax accounts.
Clarence Basco, one of the victims and complainants, said that after he paid the fee, the salary and contract changed. The salary he was expecting was substantially higher than what he was told when applied for the job.
It’s not just fake POEA Facebook accounts, fraudsters are also trying to imitate some government agencies such as the DFA and DOLE. Nevertheless, it’s always best to be safe than sorry.
Check everything first before shelling out even a peso; you don’t know, you might be communicating with a fraudster.

Carnoustie Golf Links
‘Golf’s Greatest Test’
The Championship Course has hosted eight Open Championships, two Women’s Open and two Seniors Open making it one of the very few to have done so in the UK. It is one of three courses used for the annual Dunhill Links, the others being Kingsbarns and the Old Course in St Andrews and in 2018 The Open Championship returned to the course. In 2018, the Championship Course was voted Best Golf Course in Scotland over £100 by the general public, the second time it has won the award in the past three years.
“There isn't a player who didn't find the Championship course a test and enjoyed that test. Credit to Carnoustie, it’s one of the best in the world.”Padraig Harrington
The Burnside oozes character and from the back tees is a splendid test of golf. Many of the short holes could grace the top links courses around with the 5th and 14th in particular providing dramatic challenges for the player who strives to gain his par 3. It was on this course in 1953 where the great Ben Hogan shot 70 to help him qualify for the Open Championship which he subsequently won.
"The Burnside has its own character and charm and is a fine test of golf in its own right - the par of 68 tells you the Burnside is no pushover."Top 100 Golf Courses
Originally designed by Peter Alliss and the late Dave Thomas, on land that was formerly part of the ladies’ course and Ministry of Defence land, hence the reason why the holes are named after battles. The course was opened in 1979. Since then many changes have taken place including the most recent investment in two new holes in 2014 bringing the course up to a very testing par 68.
"All the holes on the course are named after famous battles and by the time I came to the 18th, “Rhine,” I felt I’d been in one myself. The Buddon presents a formidable test of accuracy and strategy."Fergus Bisset, Golf Monthly
Our new facility includes seven state-of-the-art simulator bays.

Undergrad MOOC Makes Top 100 List
Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS)’s courses already lead the field of online education, and now the College of Computing’s undergraduate offerings are receiving accolades. Online education review site Class Central named an undergraduate massive open online course (MOOC) as one of the top 100 MOOCs ever.
Python programming class CS1301xI (the first mini-course in the divided CS1301 MOOC series) is now one of Class Central’s highest-rated MOOCs of all time with more than 30 five-star reviews. Students praise the course for its strong explanations, interactive learning, and accessibility to beginning programmers.
Since 2017, more than 83,000 students have taken the full programming course. OMSCS Associate Director of Student Experience David Joyner, who created and teaches the course, thinks it shows the desire for MOOCs that compare to courses for credit.
“There is an appreciation and thirst for MOOCs that really capture the full depth and breadth of what students could learn on campus,” he said. “There’s always been a question about whether students even want the depth of an on-campus class in their MOOCs. I think this shows that they do."

Waialua High School swim coach Robert Atwood’s club team of 28 youths has not been able to train lately, and many members have moved on to other activities.
Ever since lights at the North Shore’s Waialua District Park were removed from the pool and athletic fields in March 2016 due to rust, Atwood has been pushing to get new ones installed.
Now it looks like he may get his wish, thanks in part to recent action by the Honolulu City Council.
“The high school team works out there during the high school swim season,” Atwood said. “Since we were ushered out of the Waialua pool, we were fortunate enough to work out at Camp Erdman, at the YMCA Camp. At least for the high school team — not for the club team.”
Lights are a necessity for the swim programs run by Atwood and his wife Karen because community programs tie up the facilities until 4 p.m. on weekdays. By the time their athletes are able to train, it is starting to get dark.
“This is a fairly rural district that does not have the advantage that many urban Honolulu communities have in terms of the number of park facilities in a readily accessible area,” said Councilman Ernie Martin, who represents the North Shore. “This should have been one of the highest priorities for the administration — to have those lights replaced.”
Martin’s Resolution 18-5, passed by the City Council on Jan 31, urges the city administration to expedite the restoration of lighting systems at the park. The council also requested temporary lighting systems be installed until a permanent solution is found.
As a former swim student of Atwood’s, Mari Green became a coach herself and while she no longer instructs, she is sad that her former students do not have the access to the pool.
“We had water polo when I was a senior in 2006,” said Green, who now manages the Surf and Sea store in nearby Haleiwa. “There’s one girl now that I know of that catches the bus all the way to Waipio to practice.”
Community members have been writing letters and voicing their concerns.
“We want it replaced as quickly as possible, because it does impact our community and kids,” said Kathleen Pahinui, North Shore Neighborhood Board chair. “We’re being very tenacious. As a community, we’ve been working together reaching out to various people in the city to make sure that things stay on track.”
“The Department of Design and Construction is working with a consultant right now in designing a lighting system at Waialua District Park,” said Honolulu Parks and Recreation spokesman Nathan Serota. “Projects take awhile because they need to go through the budgeting process as well.”
The council resolution noted that the budget for fiscal year 2017 included a $3 million appropriation to fix the lighting systems. In fiscal year 2018, which began last July, the amount appropriated jumped to $4.88 million.
Serota said after the consultant builds a framework for the contract, it will go up for bid. From there, it will take a couple of months for contractors to submit bids and for the job to be awarded, he said.

A Stated Meeting of the Society was held in the Hall of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences on Wednesday, 20 March, 1895, at three o’clock in the afternoon, Dr. Gould in the chair.
The Records of the February Meeting were read and approved.
The Corresponding Secretary communicated the following letter from our associate, Mr. Charles H. Davis: —
43 Cedar Street, Worcester, March 14, 1895.
Andrew McF. Davis, Esq.,
Dear Sir, — I do not pretend to know anything about maps, but a friend who is in the insurance business has recently called my attention to the fact that the maps issued to the insurance companies covering the different cities of the Commonwealth, when taken in connection with the correction slips, furnish a complete history of the growth and progress of these places.
Each of these maps gives a ground-plan of the portion of the city which it represents. It also furnishes the means of determining whether the several buildings therein defined in outline are constructed of wood, brick, iron, or stone, and gives various other details of construction, which are of special interest to insurance people, but which are also of value to those who care to preserve a record of the changes of the place.
So far as I know, not a single public library, not a single historical or antiquarian society, has undertaken to make a complete collection of the maps of this character, a collection in which it is evident that students of Massachusetts history are greatly interested. I have been told that some years ago the Boston Public Library purchased the Boston maps and also subscribed for the correction slips, but, so far as I can learn, this subscription was not maintained. The effort to secure this valuable contribution towards the history of Boston apparently died in its birth.
I have thought it worth my while to call the attention of The Colonial Society to this subject. I believe, if our libraries and collectors will turn their attention to this field, they will find it not only fallow, but fertile.
Yours very truly,
Charles H. Davis.
Mr. Andrew McFarland Davis said that he had devoted some thought to the subject of the foregoing letter, and, in co-operation with the writer of the same, had gathered some information relative to these Insurance Maps.
The catalogue of these maps, published by the Sanborn-Perris Company, contains the names of one hundred and thirty-seven cities and towns of Massachusetts. The sheets devoted to Boston are comprised in six bound volumes, and include also Cambridge, Charlestown, and Jamaica Plain. They are of large folio size, and are on a scale of fifty feet to the inch. Brockton, Chelsea, Fall River, Haverhill, Lowell, Lynn, New Bedford, Salem, Springfield, and Worcester are also furnished in bound volumes, one being devoted to each city.
Mr. Davis exhibited a sample copy of one of the Sanborn-Perris maps, showing how, by means of different colors, the materials are designated of which the buildings are constructed. The key to the map also furnishes the means of interpreting the various marks and signs which denote the number of stories of the buildings, their relative height, the materials of which their roofs are composed, and various other details not included in ordinary maps.
Material changes, caused by the alteration of old buildings or the erection of new, of course require recognition in these maps, if they are to be of value in determining fire exposures. This is effected by the issue of correction slips, covering the portions of the maps which are affected by the changes. These are drawn to the same scale, and in actual use in an insurance office are pasted directly upon the map where they belong, so that the maps are kept constantly up to date. These slips of course have no date, and, being fastened to the maps, all trace of the chronology of the changes which they record is not only lost, but the outline of the streets and buildings as they were before the changes is also hidden from view. Mr. Davis pointed out that it would be easy to preserve untouched the original map, and to date and file the correction slips, thus preserving detailed records of the changes of all cities where these maps are in use.
Mr. Davis also submitted specimens of the insurance surveys, known as the Barlow Surveys. These cover individual manufacturing plants in the country and in the suburbs of the cities. They show in great detail the structures, their height, the provisions made for safety against conflagration and much other information. The printed matter furnished with each of these surveys is generally accompanied by a graphic delineation of the buildings composing the plant. Eight hundred of these surveys have been made in Massachusetts, and have been published by this company.
The Associated Factory Mutual Insurance Companies are nearly all of them Massachusetts or Rhode Island companies. Their efforts have been directed towards the improvement of mill construction and the reduction of fire risks. In pursuance of tins object, they have caused to be printed carefully prepared inspections of the various plants of the members of these companies. Mr. Davis stated that he laid the subject before Mr. Edward Atkinson, President of the Boston Manufacturers Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and was by him presented to Mr. John R. Freeman, Chief of the Inspection Department of the Factory Mutuals. Through Mr. Freeman’s kindly intercession, he was able to lay before the Society five copies of their standard plans, illustrating the progress of mill construction, showing the old style of factory roof, the barn roof, and the modern cotton mill, the old style paper mill, and the modern paper mill. A complete set of these beautifully executed plans, when combined with a set of the Barlow Surveys, would furnish at any given date a tolerably complete exhibit of the condition of industrial enterprises in Massachusetts.
In addition to these, Mr. Davis also exhibited a specimen copy of the Inspections and Plans of the New England Bureau of United Inspections. This is an organization composed of a few of the stock insurance companies, and a collection of their plans would supplement those already mentioned, and make nearly complete the record of the industrial condition of the State.
Mr. Davis concluded by saying he thought it was evident that it lay in the power of the different libraries of the State to secure collections of these maps and plans which would perpetuate the knowledge of the condition of the manufacturing interests in their respective vicinities. The enterprise of covering the entire State might prove too costly for any one institution to undertake, but it was clear to him that local collections could easily be made which in the future would prove to be of inestimable value. He did not doubt the Society would recognize the great value of the communication which had brought the attention of the Society to this subject.
Mr. Davis also called attention to the fact that there was issued a valuable set of real-estate maps of Boston. These maps could be found in some of our libraries, and he would leave to Mr. Edes a more complete description of them.
Mr. Henry H. Edes presented for inspection some volumes of the Bromley maps of Boston, and said: —
The Bromley maps do not give so much detailed information as those which Mr. Davis has been describing. They are used chiefly by persons, firms, and corporations having to do with transactions in real estate. The maps show a ground-plan of all the estates and public squares in the city, on a scale varying from fifty feet to the inch in the business sections to two hundred feet to the inch in the outlying, residential wards. The street lines and numbers, and the boundary lines and ownership of each estate, with the area in square feet, are clearly shown; and the materials of which the exterior walls of the buildings are constructed is indicated by the use of colors in printing the maps.
The Bromley maps cover the cities of Cambridge, Somerville, and Newton and the town of Brookline, besides the city of Boston, the area of which is shown in detail in ten volumes, such as are now before you.
The historical value of these surveys appears to me to be great, since they enable us to see at a glance the general aspect of a given locality and the proprietorship of adjoining and adjacent estates. What would we not give for a similar set of maps made during the Colonial or Provincial period of Boston’s history! It is true that rough maps have been made in recent years, and printed in the Memorial History of Boston and elsewhere, showing approximately the location of the residences of Boston’s principal inhabitants; but such a set of maps as these, dating back one or two centuries, would give us an accurate picture of the houses and gardens at that time of all the people, — the lowly as well as the great, — and show us the curious old street lines which are known to-day only to the conveyancer and the antiquary.
The subject of Mr. Davis’s letter was further discussed by several members.
Mr. Abner C. Goodell, Jr., read a paper on Capt. John Quelch, the Pirate, his exploits, trial, and execution, in 1704, comprising extracts from Notes to a chapter of the Resolves in the forthcoming eighth volume of the Province Laws, fully covering this memorable affair. By way of preface, Mr. Goodell recalled the note of the editors of the second volume of Judge Sewall’s Diary, in relation to the capture of Quelch, that “it is somewhat surprising that so little remains on record in regard to Quelch’s affair. We find nothing worth mention in the State archives;”43 and stated that he proposed to show that it is quite possible to recover the minutest details of the piracy, of the capture, trial, execution, and subsequent proceedings. He then narrated the story of the deeds of Quelch and his companions, and the proceedings for their arrest, the expedition to the Isles of Shoals under Major Sewall, the capture of the pirates, their trial in Boston, the execution of Quelch and four others in Charles River, off a point of land below Copp’s Hill on 30 June, 1704, and the sequel to what he termed one of the clearest cases of judicial murder in American annals. Perhaps the most trying ordeal which the sufferers underwent, Mr. Goodell observed, was the attentions of the clergy. Cotton Mather, who was habitually an interested spectator at public executions, labored for the benefit of their souls in his peculiarly harrowing and reproachful style. In the chamber of the prison on the Tuesday before their execution, he prayed for, preached to, and catechised them, as Sewall says, “excellently.” He and another clergyman walked with them, as, guarded by forty musketeers, constables of the town, the provost marshal, etc., they marched in solemn procession to Scarlet’s Wharf; and he there embarked with them on their melancholy voyage to the gallows, preceded by the silver oar of the Admiralty. The exhortations to the condemned, and Mather’s long prayers, — in which he interlarded extravagant invectives against these unhappy men, with interjections and ejaculations, and warnings to the multitude of spectators crowded into boats upon the water and covering the adjacent shore, to profit by their terrible example, — were duly printed in the News-Letter, together with the dying speeches of the men. Sewall, in his account of the execution, says: —
“But when I came to see how the River was covered with People I was amazed. Some say there were one hundred boats; One hundred and fifty boats and Canoes, saith Cousin Moody of York. He told them . . . when the Scaffold was hoisted to a due height the seven malefactors went up; Mr. Mather prayed to them, standing upon the boat. Ropes were all fasten’d to the gallows (save King, who was Repriev’d). When the scaffold was let to sink, there was such a Screach of the Women that my wife heard it sitting in our Entry next the Orchard and was much surprised at it; yet the wind was sou’west. Our house is a full mile from the place.”44
The offences for which Quelch and his companions were tried were committed on board a brigantine of about eighty tons, — the Charles, owned by Charles (afterwards Sir Charles) Hobby, Colonel Nicholas Paige, William Clarke, Benjamin Gallop, and John Colman, leading citizens and merchants of Boston, — and the circumstances, briefly narrated, were as follows.
The Charles was fitted out by her owners as a privateer for an intended expedition against the French enemies of England in Acadia and Newfoundland. On the thirteenth of July, 1703, her commander, Captain Daniel Plowman, received from Governor Dudley a commission to command this private vessel of war in the pursuit of pirates and the Queen’s enemies, together with instructions to govern his conduct during the cruise. As late as the first of August, the Charles, which in the mean time had been manned and equipped, was riding off Marblehead, and on that day Captain Plowman wrote to two of her owners informing them of his inability to take her to sea on account of his severe illness, and suggesting that they come the next day to “take some speedy care in saving what we can.” In response to this letter, the owners went to Marblehead; but Plowman was then too ill to see them, although able to write to them again, urging them to have the vessel sent to Boston and there to have all things aboard of her landed, to prevent embezzlement, and dissuading them from the purpose of sending her out under a new commander, declaring that “it will not do, with these people” (meaning his crew), and that “the sooner” the “things are landed on shore the better.”
Before the owners could take effectual measures to stop the vessel she proceeded to sea. Prior to her sailing, the crew, under the lead of one of their number, locked the commander into the cabin where he lay sick, and then, conformably to the resolution of Quelch, who came on board after the captain had been secured, they, under his command, made for the South Atlantic instead of their intended destination. Some time after Quelch came, the captain was thrown overboard, but whether alive or dead it does not appear. Off the coast of Brazil, not far from shore, between latitude seven degrees and thirty-six degrees south, it appears that they captured, between the fifteenth of November, 1703, and the seventeenth of February, 1703–4, nine vessels — of which five were brigantines (the largest being of about forty tons); one was a small shallop; one a small fishing-boat; one other a boat not particularly described; and one a ship of about two hundred tons, loaded with hides and tallow and carrying twelve guns and about thirty-five men. All these vessels, apparently, were the property of subjects of the King of Portugal, an ally of the Queen of England;45 and from them they took various commodities belonging to the Portuguese, such as fish, salt, sugar, molasses, rum, beer, rice, flour, earthenware, linen, cloth and silk, besides one hundred weight of gold-dust, gold and silver coins to the value of one thousand pounds or more, two negro boys, and some great and small guns, ammunition, small arms, sails, etc., — of the total value of some seven hundred pounds more. One of the vessels they sunk, and another they appear to have kept as a tender.
On the eighteenth of August the owners of the Charles, learning nothing certain of the fate of their vessel, and concluding from various circumstances that she was bound to the West Indies, wrote a letter (enclosing an official letter from Governor Dudley) to six plantations in the West Indies, respectively, setting forth their interest in her, and authorizing their correspondents to take proper steps to prosecute their claims and recover their property. No tidings of her, however, appear to have been received until after the middle of May, 1704, when her arrival was thus announced in the Boston News-Letter (No. 5): —
“Arrived at Marble-head, Capt. Quelch in the Brigantine that Capt. Plowman went out in, are said to come from New-Spain & have made a good Voyage.”
The crew seem either to have landed at different points along shore, or to have quickly dispersed after landing; for some of them were at Salem, others at Marblehead, and others still at Boston, before all the arrests were made. They had not, however, been long on shore before so many circumstances transpired leading to the suspicion that they had committed acts of piracy against subjects of the King of Portugal, that the story which they had invented of recovering great treasure from a wreck began to be doubted; and even the owners of the Charles became so suspicious of their criminal misconduct that they informed against them, in writing, to avoid the penalties denounced against accessaries by the act of Parliament.46
The informers were Colman and Clarke, and the magistrates applied to were Isaac Addington, Secretary of the Province, and Paul Dudley, Attorney-General. This was on the twenty-third of May; and it would seem that Dudley immediately set out to capture them, since, on that day, Judge Sewall, who was returning from Newbury, records that at the tavern in Lynn he met Dudley “in egre pursuit of the Pirats,”47 having already captured one whom he turned over to Sewall. Sewall sent the captive to Boston under guard of two men, charging them to convey him to Secretary Addington.48
On the next day, in the Governor’s absence, Lieutenant-Governor Povey, in the performance of his official duty and in compliance with standing instructions to the Governor from the Privy Council, issued a proclamation for the arrest of the pirates and the seizure of their treasure, and for taking the offenders to Boston, for trial.
On the twenty-sixth, news came from Rhode Island that five of Quelch’s crew had purchased a small, decked boat and sailed, it was thought, for Long Island, in season to avoid arrest upon an order sent express from Boston. One of Quelch’s men was seized by order of Governor Cranston and sent “from constable to constable” to Boston.
On the twenty-ninth, Governor Dudley issued another proclamation to the same purpose as Povey’s, adding a prohibition against concealing the pirates or their treasure. In this proclamation the names of forty-two pirates are given, being one more than were inserted in the former proclamation.
On the sixth of June, several ounces of gold having been brought to the Council Board as part of the treasure taken by the pirates, a Commission of Inquiry was issued by the Governor, directing Samuel Sewall, acting Chief Justice of the Superior Court,49 Nathaniel Byfield, Judge of the Admiralty, and Paul Dudley, Attorney-General, “to repair to Marblehead, & to send for and examin all persons of whom they shall have Information or just ground of suspition, [that they] do conceal and detain” gold and treasure brought in by the pirates, “either at Marblehead, or parts adjacent, and to take what they shall find into their hands; as also to secure any of the Pirates.”
The Commissioners proceeded to Marblehead, by way of Salem, where they learned that two of Quelch’s company were at Cape Ann, intending to embark on the “Larramore Galley,” which was at that place under command of Captain Thomas Larramore, a noted privateer.
It was upon the receipt of these tidings that Major Sewall undertook the expedition to the Isles of Shoals, already mentioned. The pirates were taken in company with Captain Larramore, who had befriended them; and seven of them, besides Larramore, his lieutenant, and his sailing-master, were brought into Salem, and thence marched in chains to Boston, where they were tried and sentenced by a Court of Admiralty, presided over by Governor Dudley, and which sat at the Star Tavern50 from the thirteenth to the nineteenth of June.

The MB-2000 bus driver training system has a fully modeled cab with authentic controls (either generic, or customized to precisely match the vehicle in your fleet). The multi-screen high-definition display system provides a geometrically correct 330º field-of-view. Real physical mirrors give operators authentic practice with one of the most challenging aspects of piloting a large vehicle. The MB-1000 offers many of the same advantages and capabilities on a more economical platform.
Either can be customized to match your fleet and train the operators of almost any transit vehicle. Every simulator comes with pre-programmed lessons that emphasize correct mirror usage, proper handling of temporary visual obstructions, managing pivot points, and other critical training objectives. FAAC’s programmable simulation software supports a completely customizable mix of traffic densities and behaviors, weather conditions, and more, all of which can be adjusted by the instructor in real-time.
But the technology is only half the solution. Over and over again, our customers find that the real value in an integrated, immersive bus driver simulation training solution is in the opportunities it creates for trainers to pinpoint exactly where their students are succeeding and falling short, and prepare them for both everyday tasks and low-frequency, high-risk events.

The pandemic continues to cause unprecedented disruption across industries worldwide.
Get detailed insights regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the market.
The global acetylene gas market exhibited steady growth during 2015-2020. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% during 2021-2026. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use industries. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Acetylene is a colourless combustible gas that is produced through the combination of calcium carbonate and water. It can also be generated using hydrocarbons, such as coal, crude oil, and naphtha, and becomes highly explosive when it is liquified, compressed, heated or mixed with air. This gas is most commonly used as an intermediate for the manufacturing of chemicals and cutting and welding functions in metalworking applications. It is also used for the manufacturing of commercial dry-cell batteries and acetylic alcohols and finds extensive applications across various industries, including chemical, automotive, transportation, aerospace and pharmaceutical.
The market is primarily being driven by the significant growth in the chemical industry, along with rapid industrialization across the globe. Owing to its high flame-temperature properties, acetylene gas is extensively used for various metalworking applications, including oxyacetylene cutting, heat treating, soldering, brazing and welding. In comparison to the traditionally used oxygen-based fuels, the combination of oxyacetylene provides faster piercing and preheating. This offers improved cutting quality, speed and cut initiation time, thereby leading to enhanced efficiency and widespread utilization of the gas across industries. Furthermore, acetylene gas is also utilized for the synthesis of various chemicals, such as acetic anhydride, acetic acid and acetaldehyde. Apart from this, it finds applications in the glass and materials processing industries for carbon coating as it aids in creating lubrication between the material surfaces. Other factors, including extensive research and development (R&D) activities focused on generating the gas from biogas and other bio-based fuels, are also providing a boost to the market growth.

We expect the global acetylene gas market to exhibit a CAGR of 2.7% during 2021-2026.
A significant growth in the chemical industry, along with elevating levels of industrialization, represent some of the factors driving the global acetylene gas market.
Sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across several nations resulting in temporary closure of numerous end-use industries for acetylene gas.
Based on the application, the global acetylene gas market can be divided into chemical synthesis, welding and cutting, metal fabrication, and others. Among these, welding and cutting currently represents the largest application of the market.
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa, where Asia Pacific currently dominates the global market.

The discussion paper on Tuesday January 19 caught people’s attention because of its proposal to close the open-outcry trading ring
, but participants told Fastmarkets other topics are far more controversial.
“It did seem like at first this section got overshadowed by the talk of the ring, but now people have read it – there is a lot of interest in these rules and mixed reactions,” a market source said.
In the last section of the discussion paper the LME said it recognizes that knowledge of metals stocks and physical movements may advantage certain traders with better access to information on them.
In response to this, the exchange is considering the impact and whether relevant options for increasing transparency would be of benefit to the market.
In February 2020, the LME did introduce off-warrant stock reporting - but it is on a one-month delay so does not provide a contemporaneous picture....

Australia’s biggest developer of apartments is considering an offer to sell half of its business to an unnamed Chinese real estate company for A$3 billion (US$2.8 billion) according to a recent media report.
Sydney-based Meriton Group received the offer during a recent trip to China, the company’s billionaire founder, Harry Triguboff told the Australian Financial Review today.
“I am thinking I could sell part of (Meriton),” Triguboff said. “It is very early stages, but I could be prepared to sell the development part of the business.” Meriton is Australia’s largest developer of apartments, and Australian housing has become increasingly popular with wealthy Chinese home-buyers.
Asked which developer had made the offer, Triguboff said only that the Chinese firm builds 200,000 homes in China each year. Even China’s 10th largest developer in 2013, Guangzhou R&F Properties built 2.88 million square metres in housing last year, which would translate into 288,000 100 square metre homes.
Meriton is in talks only regarding the sale of its apartment development division, and the firm also has an apartment rental business which is estimated to be worth A$3.5 billion.
Chinese Buyers Taking Up 18 Percent of Sydney Market
A report published by Credit Suisse early last month predicts that Chinese buyers will purchase US$39.54 billion worth of Australian residential property over the next seven years. The investment bank estimates that 12 per cent of all new housing purchases, and up to 18 per cent in Sydney and 14 per cent in Melbourne are currently made by Chinese buyers.
Shanghai’s Greenland Group announced late in March that it had acquired two more parcels of land in Sydney, Australia, after buying a site each in Melbourne and Sydney last year, and in February, Chinese developer Country Garden paid US$65 million for a Sydney site.
China was the top foreign investor in Australia’s real estate in the last financial year, according to the Foreign Investment Review Board, with Chinese investors buying A$5.9 billion worth of real estate, 11.4 percent of total foreign investment in the sector.

Tribal Health Programs: Concerns About Background Verifications for Staff Working With Indian Children
Past and ongoing audits found that Tribal health programs that received Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act funds from the Indian Health Service (IHS) were not conducting required Federal Bureau of Investigation fingerprint background checks for all employees, contractors, and volunteers who have regular contact with Indian children. This creates an increased risk that an individual with a disqualifying criminal history in a different State could be hired into a position with regular contact with Indian children.
This vulnerability warrants IHS's immediate attention because it may compromise the safety and well-being of Indian children who receive treatment at Tribal health programs funded by IHS.

When establishing vascular access, hand-washing with soap and water is essential, although there is no benefit to using antimicrobial agents [NEJM 327: 88, 1992]. Use sterile gloves for all cannulations except short catheters in peripheral veins. Two studies have suggested the superiority of chlorhexidine-containing antiseptic solutions over iodine solutions or 70% alcohol [Lancet 338: 339, 1991; Crit Care 24: 1818, 1996], particularly for the eradication of gram-positive cocci, although the CDC does not think this is borne out clinically [mmwr/PDF/RR/RR5110.pdf]. If chlorhexidine is not available, povidine-iodine (Betadine) is superior to alcohol (it is both an antiseptic and detergent) and should be left for 2 full minutes before starting procedures. Shaving is not recommended as it can promote colonization – if necessary, use depilatory creams or clippers.
Catheter-over-needle devices can be frayed as they pass through skin and soft tissues, leading to endothelial damage once in the vessel of interest, thus they are limited to cannulating superficial vessels – more important vessels (arteries, central veins) are cannulated using a guidewire, although the use of a rigid dilator may nullify its apparent advantage.
Silicone catheters (Hickman, Broviac) are too flexible and are inappropriate for ICU use – polyurethane catheters are stiffer, designed for shorter use, and more appropriate. Do not use heparin-impregnated catheters: they may reduce infection by a small amount (2%, [Crit Care Med 28: 3332, 2000]) but they have not been shown to reduce thrombosis [Rosen, Latto: Handbook of Percutaneous Central Venous Catheterization; WB Saunders, 1992], the heparin washes off after several hours, and they can cause HIT [AIM 149: 2285, 1989]. Antimicrobial-impregnated catheters should be considered if the infection rate in your ICU is above the national average (3.8-5.3 infections per 1000 catheter days) – only 2 of 9 studies of chlorhexidine/silver sulfadiazine show a significant reduction [Crit Care Med 28: 3332, 2000], but comparisons of the new minocycline–rifampin catheters show that they are better than chlorhexidine [Infect Med 18: 38, 2001]
Catheter diameter is key, with a 20 Ga providing 39.5, an 18 Ga providing 60.0, and a 16 Ga providing 96.3 mL/min of PRBC [Ann Emerg Med 22: 1551, 1993]. Multi-lumen catheters should be used when possible as they minimize venipunctures but do not increase the risk of thrombosis or infection when compared to single lumen catheters [NEJM 348: 1123, 2003; Rosen, Latto]. Introducer catheters are also helpful, especially since they can be used to provide fluids during large volume resuscitation in addition to allowing multiple catheters to be placed without requiring more than one venipuncture.
Antecubital veins are safe and easily accessible. The basilic (medial) vein is straighter and thus preferred. If veins are not visible and access is mandatory, palpate the brachial artery 1” proximal to the antecubital crease and place the catheter at 35 – 45○. In resuscitation situations, short (5 – 7 cm) catheters of 16 – 18 Ga should be used. Peripheral venous catheters should be changed every 3-4 days, and arms are preferred over legs because of a lower risk of venous thrombosis [CDC].
For PICC lines, the basilica (medial) is preferable to the cephalic (lateral) because it is larger (8 vs 6 mm) and straighter. PICCs can be left in place for 30 days without increased risk of infection compared to central lines [J Crit Illness 15: 165, 2000], however they are more prone to clot (because of their small diameter) and more prone to cause phlebitis (because of their long length). A cohort study of 239 central access (PICC vs. standard central line) showed that the rate of DVT per 1,000 catheter days 7.7 for a PICC (versus 4.4 for standard CVCs [Bonizzoli M et al. Intensive Care Med 37: 284, 2011]. The major advantages of a PICC are their lower risk of infection (documented in multiple studies) and the decreased risk for pneumothorax.
PICC vs. Standard Central Line
- Advantages of PICC: lower rate of infection, zero risk of pneumothorax
- Disadvantages of PICC: almost 2-fold higher rate of venous thrombosis
Central Venous Catheters
Subclavian vein: cannulation carries a 1 – 3% risk of pneumothorax and a 1% risk of hemothorax. As the average distance to the right atrium is 16.5 cm in adults, all subclavian venous catheters should be less than 16 cm in length [Crit Care Med 21: 1118, 1993]. The actual vein lies just underneath the clavicle where the lateral head of the SCM inserts into the bone, and the vein can be entered from either side. In the infraclavicular approach, identify the SCM/clavicular intersection and draw a line straight down, inserting at the inferior margin of the clavicle – point the bevel up and aim towards the suprasternal notch with the needle path parallel to the patient’s back. Once entered, point the bevel to 3 o’clock so the guidewire passes inferiorly. For the supraclavicular approach, place the needle so that it bisects the angle between the clavicle and SCM, aiming it towards the opposite nipple. Once entered (1-2 cm in, more superficial than the infraclavicular approach), turn the needle to 9 o’clock towards the SVC. Some people suggest avoiding the subclavian approach in ventilated patients because of the risk of pneumothorax but Marino disagrees. This is a safe and comfortable (for the patient) procedure and should be the first line attempted. Use the right side if possible, as the left is more likely to lead to SVC perforation.
Internal jugular vein: can be canalized, and this reduces (but does not eliminate) the risk of pneumothorax, while adding the risk of carotid artery (2 – 10% [Intensive Care Med 2: 163, 218, 1987]) or thoracic duct injury. Awake patients will complain of reduced neck mobility, and agitated patients may occlude the catheter and vein secondary to excessive neck flexion. Lastly, patients with tracheostomies may be at increased risk of infection due to spread of secretions. When the head is turned to the opposite side, the IJV forms a straight line from the pinna to the sternoclavicular joint. The right side is preferred for cannulation. In the anterior approach, palpate the carotid artery in the triangle of the SCM heads and retract medially. Insert the needle into the apex of the triangle, advancing towards the ipsilateral nipple at 45° to the skin surface. If no venous blood by 5 cm, withdraw 4 cm and advance again more laterally. For the posterior approach, insert the needle (with the bevel at 3 o’clock) 1 cm above where the external jugular crosses the lateral edge of the SCM, advancing along the underbelly of the muscle and pointing towards the suprasternal notch. The IJV should be encountered within 5 – 6 cm. If blood is red and pulsating, remove the needle and apply pressure for 5 – 10 mins. If the carotid artery has been punctured by the needle, remove it and hold pressure for 5 mins. If the carotid as been actually cannulated, the catheter should be left in place and vascular surgery should be called. The only advantages of the IJ line are for pacemaker catheters and hemodialysis catheters, because of their straight course.
Femoral vein: easiest to cannulate but leads to increased risk of venous thrombosis (10%), femoral artery puncture (5%), and limited hip flexion. Previous data suggested that the infection rate of femoral lines was no different from SC or IJV catheters [Intensive Care Med 2: 163, 218, 1987]. More recent data suggests that the insertion areas can be classified from low to high risk of extraluminal infection as follows: antecubital fossa < subclavian < femoral < jugular [Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 15: 253, 1994]. Palpate the femoral artery just below the inguinal crease and insert the needle 1 – 2 cm medial to the palpated pulse at a 45° angle to the skin and entering within 2 – 4 cm. If problems with the guidewire, tilt the needle so that it is more parallel to the skin surface. Femoral vein catheters should be at least 15 cm long. In cases where you cannot find the femoral pulse, draw a line from the ASI crest to the pubic tubercle and divide into thirds – the junction between the medial and middle thirds is the femoral artery, so enter 1 – 2 cm medial to that – this will be successful 90% of the time [Am J Surg 138: 875, 1979]. Femoral lines are not recommended for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (transit time too long) or in patients with bleeding disorders. These should only be used when a SC or IJ are unavailable, and should be removed as soon as possible.
Thrombosis of femoral vein catheters may be as high as 20%, and subclavians as low as 2% [Crit Care Clin 19: 489, 2003]
External jugular cannulations: eliminate the risk of pneumothorax and hemorrhage can be easily controlled, however it is difficult to advance the catheter. The vein runs approximately from the angle of the jaw to the mid-clavicle. To visualize it, press down on the distal vein, causing engorgement. The vein must be held by tension (forefinger and thumb) as it is relatively mobile. Insert halfway between the angle and the clavicle and do not force the catheter as it may rupture the vein. This is an option when inexperienced operators are cannulating patients with a coagulopathy and would like to avoid the IJV or the SC.
Adverse Effects of Central Venous Catheters
|Adverse Effect||Subclavian||Internal Jugular||Femoral|
The radial artery is superficial and accessible, its only disadvantage is its size (difficult to cannulate, possibility of vascular occlusion). The ulnar artery (medial) is actually larger, but the radial is preferred. A positive Allen test (> 14 seconds for color to return) is not a contraindication to radial artery cannulation [Crit Care Med 16: 915, 1988; Crit Care Clin N Am 8: 687, 1992]. Always extend that patient’s wrist and use a short 20 Ga catheter, inserting over a needle or guidewire. At first flash, the catheter is outside the vessel, so pass the needle completely through the vessel (until flashback stops), then pull it back in (until flashback returns) at which point it can be removed with the catheter in place. Up to 25% of cases will result in arterial occlusion but digital ischemia is rare [Crit Care Clin N Am 8: 687, 1992]
The femoral artery is easier to cannulate than the radial, and offers the same risks (thrombosis, bleeding, infection), an identical infection rate, but a lower rate of thrombosis which is only rarely of clinical import [Crit Care Clin North Am 8: 687, 1992]. Catheterize as you would the vein but of course do not go 1 – 2 cm lateral. Use the Seldinger technique, 18 gauge catheters, 15 – 20 cm long. Femorals may be preferred in immobile patients (except in the case of coagulopathy) as thrombosis is lower and the pressure readings are more accurate.
Complications and Concerns
Venous air embolism is a feared complication and can be fatal. To prevent these, place the patient in Trendelenburg with the head 15° below the horizontal plane. Also, have the patient hum (or initiate a mechanical lung inflation) when changing connections to increase intrathoracic pressure. Air emboli will present with dyspnea, hypotension, and a “mill wheel” murmur and may lead to cardiac arrest, stroke. If suspected, place the patient with their left side down and try to aspirate air from the venous line. As a last resort, place a needle directly into the right ventricle.
Pneumothorax is common and thus all patients should get a chest film, preferably upright and expiratory. When this is not possible, look for air in the subpulmonic recess and along the anteromedial border of the mediastinum. In the absence of signs and symptoms, there is little justification for serial films. It is important to note, however, that catheter-induced pneumothoraces may not be evident for 24 – 48 hours [Am J Rad 144: 901, 1985] – this does not mean serial x-rays are justified, only that shortness of breath 24 hours after a clean chest film may still be due to a pneumothorax. The catheter tip should be at the junction of the SVC and the RA or slightly above the third anterior intercostals space. Catheter tips up against the wall of the SVC should be repositioned as soon as possible. While cardiac perforation is rare [Crit Care Med 21: 1118, 1993], the RA should also be avoided – this is the level of the anterior portion of the third rib, and if this cannot be visualized, pull the catheter back to or above the carina.
All vascular catheters are flushed routinely. Intermittently used venous catheters are often hep-locked. Heparin is expensive and can cause HIT, and saline has been proven as effective as heparin in venous catheters [Heart Lung 20: 631, 1991], thus saline should be used instead. Arterial catheters are and should be flushed continuously (3 mL/hr), but saline is not always as effective in arterial lines [Am J Crit Care 2: 3, 1993] so heparin should be used unless HIT is a significant risk, in which case use 1.4% sodium citrate [Chest 103: 882, 1993]
When catheters occlude, every effort should be made to re-open them and avoid replacement. Guidewires should NOT be used, however, because of the risk of embolus. Thrombosis is the most common cause of central venous catheter occlusion [Crit Care Clin 19: 489, 2003], thus the following protocol is offered:
PROTOCOL FOR OCCLUDED CATHETER
Drug: alteplase (rTPA) [Ann Pharmacother 37: 27, 2003] Preparation: add 50 mL sterile water to 50 mg vial alteplase for a 1 mg/mL solution.
Prepare 2 mL aliquots (approximately 25) and freeze them until needed.
- Thaw 2 x 2 mL aliquots (must use drug within 8 hours of thawing)
- Draw 2 mL into a 5 cc syringe and attach to hub of occluded catheter
- Inject as much as possible and then cap the hub
- Leave the solution in for 2 hours
- Attempt to flush with saline (do NOT use a tuberculin syringe, the high volume of flow can fracture the catheter hub)
- Repeat steps 1-4 if needed
- If still obstructed, try using 0.1N HCl (2 mL) for drug or calcium phosphate precipitates, or 70% ethanol (2 mL) if lipid residues are suspected. Otherwise, replace the catheter
- Note that for non-thrombotic occlusion, HCl (drug or calcium phosphate precipitates,) or 70% ethanol (lipid residues) may be more useful.
Clinically apparent subclavian vein thrombosis occurs in ~ 1% of patients and its unmistakable sign is unilateral arm swelling. The rate of secondary PE is estimated to be between 0 and 17% [Chest 123: 1953, 2003]. Dopplers are often the first test but in the upper extremity their sensitivity and specificity are 56 and 69% [AIM 162: 401, 2002]. Contrast venography is the gold standard but rarely use. If diagnosed, remove the catheter and avoid all central venous access if possible for the next several weeks (thrombus may extend into the SVC). Many people anticoagulate but there is no evidence that heparin is beneficial in this setting [Br J Clin Pract 45: 31, 1991]. Femoral vein thrombosis has a much higher incidence, which is why these catheters should be avoided and if used, replaced after 48 hours.
SVC perforation leads to non-specific symptoms (substernal chest pain, cough, dyspnea), and should be searched for radiographically (ex. mediastinal widening, pleural effusion). In fact, any patient with a sudden pleural effusion and a central line should be considered for perforation. To diagnose this definitively, tap the pleural effusion and analyze it, also pass contrast into the catheter. If verified, remove the catheter immediately – surprisingly, this maneuver does not lead to increased bleeding [J Crit Illness 9: 101, 1994]. Also, antibiotic therapy is not needed unless there is evidence of infected pleural fluid [J Crit Illness 9: 101, 1994]. If the pleural effusion is glucose-rich, it should be drained to avoid bacterial contamination/proliferation.
All catheter insertion sites should be covered. The standard is sterile gauze and hypoallergenic tape changed every 48 hours. Clear, occlusive dressings have become popular but promote colonization of the underlying skin, although only those that are completely impermeable actually show an increased incidence of septicemia [JAMA 267: 2072, 1992]. Marino does not recommend their use. The application of antimicrobial ointment to the insertion site has not been shown to decrease infection rates and is not recommended [New Horiz 1: 271, 1993]. TegaDerm and OpSite should be reserved for catheters located near infectious sites (internal jugular vein insertion sites, etc.).
The major risk of peripheral venous catheters is phlebitis (not infection) – this risk is unchanged from 72 – 96 hours [Am J Infect Contr 26: 6, 1998], thus these catheters should be changed (using a new insertion site) every 3-4 days. According to CDC Guidelines [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. MMWR Recomm Rep 51: 1, 2002], peripheral venous catheters should be replaced every 72 to 96 hours in adults to prevent phlebitis (Class IB data).
While central venous catheters in place longer than 3 days have an increased risk of infection [Am J Infect Contr 18: 201, 1990], replacement either over a guidewire or at a new venipuncture site does not reduce the risk of infection [Crit Care Med 18: 1073, 1990] and may actually increase the risk of infection [NEJM 327: 1062, 1992] as well as bring about mechanical complications (risk = 7% [NEJM 348: 1123, 2003]), thus they should not be replaced routinely. A meta-analysis of over 450 patients in 3 controlled trials confirms this – catheters should only be changed on clinical grounds [Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 21: 371, 2000]
Indications for catheter replacement at a new site
- Purulence at the catheter site (erythema alone is not an indication is it is not a absolute evidence of a catheter infection and in fact there is no correlation between infection at the insertion site and the likelihood of septicemia [Crit Care Med 30: 2632, 2002])
- Tip of previously removed catheter showing > 15 CFU
- Femoral vein catheter in place longer than 48 hours (reduce the risk of venous thrombosis)
Indications for guidewire exchange
- Suspected catheter-related infection with no erythema or purulence in a septic patient with a prosthetic valve, immunocompromized state, or in severe sepsis/septic shock
- Incidences when a catheter was placed emergently without aseptic technique
These are for the most part consistent with the CDC Guidelines [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. MMWR Recomm Rep 51: 1, 2002], which also state that institutions should consider use of antiseptic- or antimicrobial-impregnated CVCs for adults whose catheter is expected to remain in place more than 5 days if the institution is unable to achieve goal rates of bloodstream infections by use of a comprehensive strategy to reduce infection rates (Class IB data).
To diagnose using a quantitative blood culture technique, draw 10 mL blood from both the catheter and a distal site. Suspect catheter infection if catheter blood produces > 100 CFU/mL of bacteria (must be the same species as found in the bloodstream) or catheter blood produces > 5x the CFUs of peripheral blood (sensitivity 40-50% [Clin Infect Dis 23: 1249, 2001]). This should usually be the first test, especially in cases where removing the catheter is undesirable, because up to 70% of suspected infected catheters are sterile when cultured [Clin Infect Dis 23: 1249, 2001]
Another method is to semiquantitative tip culture the distal 5 cm catheter tip, compare this to a peripheral blood culture and if the same species, 15 CFU/mL is the threshold (sensitivity 38%, specificity 100%, improved by plating the tip at the bedside) – as this method requires removal of the catheter and is relatively insensitive, it should only be used in cases of erythema/purulence when the catheter should be pulled regardless. If this method is chosen, the last 2 cm should be split and Gram stained. This method misses bacteria found in the lumen of the catheter.
Quantitative tip culture methods are more cumbersome and less commonly used. The catheter segment is either flushed with broth or sonicated in broth, followed by serial dilutions and surface plating on blood agar. A yield of 100 CFUs or higher indicates infection. The sensitivities of the three techniques are reported as follows: sonication (quantitative), 80%; roll plate method, 60%; and flush culture, 40% to 50% [J Clin Microbiol 35: 641, 1997]. In laboratories that use continuous blood culture monitoring, the length of time from blood draw to positive result for catheter-drawn versus percutaneously obtained cultures can be noted. If the time to positivity of the catheter-drawn culture is at least 2 hours less than that of the peripheral culture, catheter infection is suggested. Sensitivity and specificity of 91% and 94%, respectively, have been reported for this method [J Clin Microbiol 36: 105, 1998]
Empiric Antibiotic Therapy for Catheter-Related Infections
Pneumonia is the leading cause of sepsis in ICU patients, but catheters are 2nd. The most likely organisms are coagulase-negative staphylococci (37%), Enterococcus species (14%), Staphylococcus aureus (13%), Candida albicans (5%), Enterobacter species (5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (3%), Escherichia coli (2%), all other pathogens (17%) [Am J Infect Control 27: 520, 1999]. Manifestation is often fever in patients with a catheter for > 48 hours, many times with no sign of local infection.
As a first step, draw quantitative catheter blood cultures (except in patients with purulent drainage, who are neutropenic, have prosthetic valves, or are in severe sepsis/septic shock) but leave the catheter in place.
For suspected catheter-related septicemia, empiric antibiotics are recommended [Clin Infect Dis 23: 1249, 2001]. Vancomycin is well-suited for this, despite concerns about resistance. Add ceftazidime or cefipime for gram-negative coverage in patients with severe sepsis/shock. For neutropenics, add a carbapenem [Clin Infect Dis 34: 730, 2002]. In patients with prosthetic valves, an aminoglycoside should probably be added.
If positive culture results come back, start a 10-14 day course of directed antibiotics (candidal infections should be treated for 14 days AFTER negative cultures are obtained). Catheters should then be removed unless they are tunneled or the organism is S.epidermidis.
The antibiotic lock technique (allowed to dwell for hours to days) with or without systemic antibiotic therapy has been reported to result in catheter salvage in 82.6% of 167 episodes and to be significantly more likely to result in catheter salvage than parenteral therapy alone [Clin Infect Dis 32:1249, 2001]
If infection/inflammation continue after antibiotics, consider disseminated candidiasis, suppurative thrombophlebitis, or endocarditis.
Candidiasis is predisposed by chemotherapy, steroids, HIV, antibiotic therapy, prostheses, and vascular catheters. Diagnosis is difficult because blood cultures are negative in ~ 50% of cases. Serum enolase and agglutination tests for cell wall antigens can be helpful but are not reliable. Urine should always be cultured and ophthalmology consulted (endophthalmitis) in suspicious cases. All patients with persistent candidemia should have a detailed eye exam [Curr Opin Crit Care 3: 335, 1997]. Empiric therapy reserved for neutropenics, prosthetic heart valves, or progressive sepsis. In those with documented disease, liposomal amphotericin B is the standard of care, although capsofungin has been proven just as effective for invasive candidiasis [NEJM 347: 2020, 2002] and has a better side effect profile.
Suppurative thrombophlebitis is often accompanied by local inflammation and purulent drainage after removal of a catheter, and is usually treated with surgical excision (although heparin and antibiotics can sometimes work).
Endocarditis should be suspected as well – any patient with a S.aureus bactermia should be evaluated by TEE [Clin Infect Dis 23: 1249, 2001]
Controversies Regarding Infection Etiology
The implication of skin microorganisms in CRBI has been documented by both conventional and molecular biology bacterial identification techniques [J Clin Microbiol 26: 8, 1988]. Marino notes, however, that there is poor correlation between skin organisms and blood organisms in specific cases [Nutr Clin Pract 6: 43, 1991; Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 9: 54, 1998]. Practices aimed at reducing skin microbes have had little or no impact [New Horiz 1: 271, 1993; Lancet 1: 459, 1984; Surg Gynecol Obstet 175: 33, 1992; Ann Surg 218: 206, 1993]. 50% of catheter-related septicemia cases involve organisms not commonly found on skin [Surg Clin North Am 68: 57, 1988]. And lastly, Staphylococcus are commonly found in the intestines, especially of critically-ill patients and those on abx [Ann Surg 157: 847, 1964]. In fact, S.epidermidis is one of the most commonly isolated pathogens from the bowel in patients with multi-organ failure [Arch Surg 123: 309, 1988].
There are others who believe that the endoluminal route of contamination is important [Lancet I:668, 1993; Surgery 97: 355, 1985]. In one study, applying a gauze impregnated with povidone iodine around the catheter hub proved successful in controlling an epidemic of catheter sepsis caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci [Sitges-Serra et. al. J Parenter Enteral Nutr 9: 322, 1985]. In a controlled prospective trial [Nutrition 7: 33, 1991] patients with tunneled Silastic central catheters were randomized to two groups, one (control group) managed in a standard fashion and the other managed by applying a betadine-impregnated foam around the junction between the catheter and the administration set. A 24% CRBI rate was demonstrated in the control group, while not a single case of bacteremia was found in patients whose hubs had been protected. In a clinical trial, 151 patients with central venous catheterization for a mean of 2 weeks were randomized to receive catheters with standard Luer-lock connectors or connectors protected with Segur-Lock [Ann Surg 223: 363, 1996]. The CRBI rate was higher in the control group (16% vs 4%), and this was due to the low rate of hubrelated CRBI observed in the group fitted with the new hub (1% vs 11%, p ~ 0.01).

Why you should know about bariatric surgery for weight loss
You have done every thing in your power to lose weight – you have hit the gym on a regular basis, you have been careful enough to resort to a balanced diet and have taken those “strategically” advertised pills as well. Nothing worked! Sad enough but your failure definitely isn’t the end of the road for you! You can still resort to a weight reduction surgery to get things going for you.
What are the different types of bariatric surgery for weight loss?
Bariatric surgery for weight loss is recommended only to obese people – i.e. those having Body Mass Index of 40+. If your BMI is a little above 35 you can still qualify for one of the four types of bariatric surgery but only when you are suffering from diabetes or other such disorders affecting your quality of life or those that are a direct threat to your existence itself.
Reputable weight reduction programs will essentially require you to furnish proof that you are considering this surgical procedure only after you have failed in all your previous attempts at weight loss – i.e. exercise, diet, pills etc. So, in other words, a weight loss surgery is the last option.
Gastric bypass surgery, alternately known as Roux en Y gastric bypass surgery is one of the most common weight loss surgical procedures performed today. The entire treatment might as well take up more than 2 hours but is associated with the fastest and the higest degree of weight loss. If the patient is ready to embrace the recommended lifestyle changes (i.e. start exercising, diet control) then he can expect to lose around 60 to 70 percent of excess weight.
The surgeon severs the upper part of the stomach and surgically staples it with the middle part of the small intestine. The size of the stomach is smaller than ever – as such it can hold a smaller amount of food that it could do before. Plus an amount of food is bypassed as well.
Gastric Sleeve is another weight reduction surgical procedure where the surgeon severs almost 75% of the stomach leaving you with nothing more than a sleeve. Notably, the weight loss procedure is a bit slower than what’s the case with gastric bypass. Additionally, you can expect to shed around 50% of excess weight (not as high as is the case with gastric bypass).
Both in cases of gastric bypass and gastric sleeve, the patient is likely to gain weight in the long term if he doesn’t exercise on a regular basis.
Lap Band Surgery
A lap band surgery is performed by placing a silicone band around the patient’s stomach. However, it is important to note that the patient might need to visit the surgeon after six months of the surgery or so to get the placement of the band checked. The need for frequent “post-op” visits to the surgeon has kept many away from this surgical procedure.
Duodenal switch with biliopancreatic diversion
The duodenal switch with biliopancreatic diversion is only recommended to those having BMI of 50+. The surgeon, at first, severs 70% of the stomach and then reroutes a substantial portion of the small intestine thereby creating two different pathways and one common channel.

GPs are being urged to routinely check for heart murmurs in over-65s, when carrying out new patients registrations, health checks or administering the flu jab.
New guidance, published by a UK charity for heart valve disease, warned that that many older people may attribute their symptoms to ageing so might not report their condition and might never be diagnosed.
Heart Valve Voice urges GPs to take a more proactive approach with older patients and to think about opportunities when they have more time to use chest auscultation.
‘The annual flu jab, NHS health checks and new patient registrations are therefore excellent opportunities to screen them for underlying valvular disease using the stethoscope,’ the guidance says.
‘As GPs, we currently use auscultation routinely in less than two fifths of patients whose symptoms suggest heart valve disease.
‘We need to use our stethoscopes more often to check for heart valve disease when an older patient reports symptoms, and potentially consider using this basic investigation during routine consultations with our elderly patients,’ the guidance adds.
Commonly reported symptoms that could indicate heart valve disease include shortness of breath on exertion, chest tightness and/or pain, palpitations, fatigue, dizziness, pre-syncope and syncope, Heart Valve Voice said.
Dr Jarir Amarin, a GP in Enfield and trustee of the charity, said: ‘GPs are put under immense pressure and have very limited consultation times, so this guidance offers brief, practical advice, such as the routine use of the stethoscope in over 65s at flu clinics or NHS checks, to ensure that patients are diagnosed and referred early, and reach the appropriate cardiology team for treatment. Ultimately, leading to a future with better quality and longevity of life.’
Heart Valve Voice points out that heart valve diseases currently affects over 1.5 million people over the age of 65 in the UK. The UK’s ageing population means that the number of people with heart valve disease is expected to rise to 3.3 million by 2056 – a 122% increase.

Hampshire Country Sports day
Sunday 12th September 2021Hurray!
FOR A SPECIAL DAY
We now have the pleasure of offering magnum bottles with an engraving of any design that you may wish.
We have enlisted the services of a talented local craftsperson who is now creating individually engravings on a bottle of your choice. These superb bottles are perfect for any occasion, whether that be a wedding, a gift or as a truly memorable thank you.
Together with our custom-printed wedding favours, these engraved bottles will help make your perfect day even more remarkable and leave you with a bottle to cherish.
Dampney’s Remarkable Drinks started as a germ of an idea in the summer of 2015. After two years of development, our first range of drinks was launched in 2017.
The Dampney family have been sharing their hipflasks of homemade sloe gin for generations and it was time for a little experimentation. Why not try some other fruits using the same method? Dan Tanner’s ‘Pick your own’ farm at Sopley in the New Forest was on the doorstep and Dan was happy to supply surplus fruit, so the trials began. The only problem being that the fruit we were using had previously been fed as a treat to Dan’s red deer. Unfortunately for them, they are now on reduced rations!
I started with the Raspberry range in gin, rum and vodka and then expanded into rhubarb, gooseberry and redcurrant. We are always experimenting and listening to friend’s recommendations and recipes. Thanks to the Brooks family in East Meon, we now produce a very punchy Marmalade vodka which is a real winter warmer.
The popularity of Dampney’s Remarkable Drinks has necessitated the rest of the family becoming involved in production and selling. Fortunately as it is all steeped, pressed, filtered and bottled at home, this is very easy.
All the products are taste tested by the family before bottling (what a chore!) to ensure the highest standards of quality and flavour are maintained.
Dampney’s are very versatile liqueurs. People have told us they drink them straight from a hip flask or as a shot over ice. Others have recommended the Raspberry range to pep up a prosecco and others say the Gooseberry Gin makes a most refreshing G & T in the summer.
However you drink them, I hope you will savour the flavours of the countryside and garden which these liqueurs evoke.
Thank you for looking at the website and I hope you enjoy consuming Dampney’s Remarkable Drinks as much as I do!

If reliability and affordability are your priorities, these are the three to keep a look out for:
First up is the no-nonsense Dacia Duster. It has a very low price-tag, but do not make the mistake of thinking that this is a bad automobile. It may not have the luxury and style that you find with other vehicles in its class, but it is very tough, reliable and practical (everything you need from an SUV).
It comes with no frills (although you can pay more for extras), but this should not deter those simply seeking a reliable SUV. It also has low running costs with the impressive 1.5 litre diesel engine capable of over 64mpg. If you are on a tight budget, look no further than the Duster.
Ford is a brand that you know you are getting quality with, and the Ford Kuga is no exception. The athletic looking SUV offers an excellent driving experience with great agility, but it is also spacious and stylish inside. It is well-built and you know that you will not encounter too many problems with a Ford, so it is a smart investment and an SUV very well suited to families.
Citroen C4 Cactus
The funky C4 Cactus from Citroen is a real head turner with a bold design and unique “Airbump” panels designed to protect the car. It is not just a cool looking automobile, though, as it is actually which is designed to thrive in rigorous conditions.
It is compact yet remarkably spacious inside and the clever design makes it very reliable despite its low asking price. It is also extremely light for an SUV and uses small and efficient engines – the diesel models are capable of 83 mpg. Practical, reliable, affordable and bags of character, the C4 is a great SUV.
Looking for a reliable and affordable SUV? The above should be top of your list.

This article is sponsored by the Medical Training Institute of New York
The Medical Training Institute of New York (MTI) offers health care continuing medical education courses. It specializes in helping non-medically trained staff to understand medical terminology, whether encountered through doctors’ reports, prescriptions, or investigation results, and prepare for certification tests.
Student course specialist Cindy Keitz explains that most students can get a certificate in as little as 6 weeks-6 months. It depends on the particular course the student is attending and the class schedule. MTI offers internships where and when applicable so students can gain hands-on experience in their chosen field while looking for employment.
MTI offers 13 courses for the spring, including:
Pharmacy Technician, Clinical Medical Assistant, Medical Billing and Coding, Dental Assistant, Medical Assistant, Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), Certified Nurse Assistant (Advanced), Patient Care Technician, EKG/Phlebotomy Technician (combination), EKG Technician, Phlebotomy Technician, Dialysis Technician, and Home Health Care/Aide.
Furthermore, there are three levels of Pharmacy certification: Pharmacy Technician I (Entry-level), Pharmacy Technician II (Sterile Compounds), and Advanced-level Pharmacy Technician III; a selection that most other schools do not offer.
MTI has opened a brand new facility in midtown Manhattan (near Grand Central Station) with state-of-the-art USP 797 clean room and compounding laboratories,” Keitz said. But, she added, “because of COVID-19, we’re starting with hybrid courses online and in-classrooms for labs.”
Courses will start this winter according to Keitz. “Most courses take place in the morning from 9 am to 2 pm, some from 2 pm to 6 pm, and there are even evening and weekend courses.”
The courses usually take a few months. “The idea is that usually in a few months to a year you’ll have a new/improved career so that you can enhance your income potential and future for your family,” said Keitz.
“We also provide our students with interview training and career counseling/placement,” said Keitz.
With tuition ranging from $600 to $5,000 per course, and the possibility of paying with a credit card or applying for a payment plan, students can start their course with only a few hundred dollars.
“They can pay a couple of hundred dollars every two weeks on a payment plan or we also offer access to private educational loans,” Keitz said.
The only prerequisite to qualify for a certificate program is to have a GED or a high school diploma.
There is room for growth and career enhancement with the many certificate courses at MTI. For example, the Dental Assistant course is the perfect gateway for a student to prepare for and pass the certificate exam, find a paying job as a Dental Assistant and then take a certificate course in Medical Billing & Coding or Clinical Medical Assistant. Many dental offices are looking for employees who are qualified to handle both front office and patient care services.

Now that it's 'underhand' again, keep going with some next steps in the refurbishment.
A jarring defect of the machine were the replacement keys for the shift and the 'z'. Purely cosmetic of course, but it did detract from the overall impression. Mainly as a proof of principle, gave the machine quickly printed replacement key-labels. One of the benefits of having multiple typewriters of the same type (excessive, I know), is having a reference. So we had samples of the correct key labels. (Even then only 1 of my 4 machines actually had the original English 'shift key' label.)
From a photograph of these keys, a set of little labels was quickly printed and fitted to the keyboard.
Not 'perfect', but it compares well with the machine as it was, especially the 'z' key:
When properly editing the pictures for the actual repair, i.e. cleaning-up and paying attention to colour matching, then this method should work very well to make the keys blend in.
Another step taken was to tone down the blueish-bright key-rings for the shift keys and shift-lock. These are not nickel, but replacement clip-on rings. They could be chromed, or even aluminium - either way quite hard to get any nickel to adhere to them even with thorough surface scouring. (Better would be to get some original Remington rings, but to purchase yet another machine purely for the shift key rings is a bit too much even for me :-)
With the nickel-plating kit out, also the carriage-lever was given a treatment. This had lost most of its plating. Also thoroughly scoured and polished; clean yet it does show the plate-loss.
So in the plating bath; ...bubbles...
Result is indeed a shinier carriage handle. The plating seems to accentuate the uneven surface of the part. Perhaps because of differences in growth speed on the old nickel and the underlying casting, but scars and marks are more noticeable now than before. Nevertheless, it is nickel again all over.
And the coin clearly shows where that nickel came from...
Remounted on the machine, together with a better specimen of the line-release lever and some polishing, the typewriter it is starting to look like a machine that could be worked with again.
We may complete the machine yet :)

As part of our Knowledge Transfer programme Akile Ahmet is interviewing key people in the field of youth work, careers education, and schooling to help us make our findings relevant to their work. The first of her interviews was with Tania de St Croix. Tania is a youth worker and a postdoctoral research fellow at King’s College London. Her PhD explored grassroots youth work and this is affected by policy changes and how youth workers respond and resist some of the policy changes that have been happening. Tania is also a member and spokesperson for ‘In Defence of Youth Work’. In this post Akile describes what happened when she went along on Friday 19 June to talk with Tania and discuss some of the project findings.
So what barriers do you think young people face?
“There is a huge lack of opportunity, if you are not from a privileged group. I think even if you are from a privileged group I think there are still barriers because I think there is a tax on young people’s independence. That idea that oh you should stay at home, if you go to university, you are going to be indebted all that kind of thing, so actually young people who are maybe not in the most privileged groups, even those in the middle-class financially-ok groups still face barriers at the moment”.
We also had a great discussion on the rhetoric of success which is something we raised in the paper: ‘We can Get Everything We Want if We Try Hard’: Young People, Celebrity, Hard Work:
“So in some ways young people think ‘yeah I can do what I want’, and that kind of rhetoric that you’ve got every chance you can be successful if you work hard enough – it’s a really powerful thing and hard to speak against, as young person if you say there’s no opportunities, there’s barriers in my way. It’s almost like it’s not an option to say, because the rhetoric is to be successful you have to think positive, you have to enterprise you have to think forward you have to go and try something new, take risks. That kind of enterprising rhetoric is really constraining and really empowering, because it has a sort of façade of empowerment, but in reality it’s very constraining for young people, because if you are not succeeding then you have got to say yeah I’ve got chances, opportunities, for young people without any welfare safety net, all those issues are much much scarier and worst. A lot of the young people in Hackney are at risk. They are living in areas where there are a lot of gangs and things, drug dealing and drug taking and that’s where they see the successful entrepreneur sometimes”.
I asked Tania about her thoughts on the project:
“It’s research that really reaches out and is really relevant to the young people that I work with and the issues that they talk about. And I hadn’t thought about celebrity as a complex issue that it brings up – social justice and so on”.
One of the most interesting things that Tania found about our project was:
“I am really interested in the stuff around hard work and the celebration of hard work- that really resonates with me about how young people talk about their opportunities and just that difficulty that you are free to achieve as long as you work hard enough and that kind of idea is promoted that is there is no big barrier if you are a woman or if you are Black or this. It’s great to have this positive role models in terms of you should reach for the sky, in some ways it is really an exciting thing to think. I didn’t feel like that when I was young … for the young people that I work with it’s been great seeing a Black president … but what I really like about the research is that it makes apparent the huge inequalities that exist”.
I also asked what surprised Tania the most about our findings. She told me it was the popularity of technologist, philanthropist and multi-billionaire Billionaire Bill Gates:
“It kind of annoyed me because I don’t like the Bill Gates Foundation … most young people would question the idea of multi-billionaires and the inequalities of that but how can someone who is a prime example of that be held up as a great example? It’s good that young people believe in sharing wealth; it’s such a shame because it is such an individual way of ‘Oh it’s alright so long as you give your money to charity’.”
One of the key aims of the Knowledge Transfer funding from Brunel University is to develop resources from the project for teachers, youth workers, careers educators and young people themselves. Once again, Tania had lots of thoughts on this:
- “I would like to see some of it dramatised as a sort of play so it would reach more people. Like going to a play with young people on these issues would have great impact. I think there is something important about going to something as a collective and engaging with something”.
- “I think I can imagine using something like the report cards [on what young people thought celebrities would be like in school], more paper based activities. Again, if money was no object, more glossy resources, because I think people who have a lot of IT in their lives, … I think there are different things that are needed by different professionals”.
- “So for youth work – something that you can go to or something that could come to communities, or resources that are quite tactile … Like a game, something like issues based board games – it could incorporate some of the myths and facts – you could be a celebrity”.
So how should we increase impact from our research?
“What the real challenge is I mean celebrity is an instant interesting thing – how do you keep central to it, rather than reinforcing stereotypes of inequalities? How can we use it to question some of those more complex issues of hard work? So maybe kind of sessions for practitioners or for university youth work courses, or sessions for young people. What I struggle with is how I would use something like report cards without reinforcing the same stereotypical things that the young people were saying in the research, how would you get into some of the deeper issues”.
On reflection after meeting Tania, I am really inspired, both by her input and the projects that she is involved in. The development of a play would be a fantastic output from the research. There is some great potential to use the interview materials, and the YouTube videos already developed could be used further.

The Lord shall endure for ever. Psalm 9:7
O Light, from age to age the same,
O ever living Word,
Here have we felt Thy kindling flame,
Thy voice within have heard.
Here holy thought and hymn and prayer
Have winged the Spirit’s powers,
And made these walls divinely fair,
Thy temple, Lord, and ours.
O not in vain their toil who wrought
To build faith’s freer shrine;
Nor theirs whose steadfast love and thought
Have watched the fire divine.
Burn, holy Fire, and shine more wide!
While nations rise and fall,
Faith, hope, and charity abide,
The heart and soul of all.

“Love is donating a chunk of your life to patch up holes in the life of another.”
Richelle E. Goodrich,
I’m quickly approaching the one year mark of being a server. It’s my first serving job, and even though I don’t always enjoy it, I still really like my job. Not that I want to do this for the rest of my life. I like my job for many reasons: good management, great teamwork, positivity from most people there. But one of my favorite things about where I work is a question that everyone asks with the same exact words. Part of the teamwork at my job involves making sure tables are taken care of. So, if someone is too busy to get or do something for a table, they can ask nearly anyone else for help. And whenever help is asked for, the question is always, “What do you need?”
I love that question, because it’s not “what do you want?” It’s need. Of course, in a restaurant, ‘need’ may be too strong a word. It’s not like the servers or the guests will die if they don’t get their coke right away or their salad refill. I mean, the guests can be pretty impatient at times, but let’s not be dramatic – no one’s going to die if napkins never get to the table or if the food comes out a little late. Still, I love that question, because it makes me feel like my co-workers are looking out for me.
In my last post, I wrote about how I was unsure whether or not I love God, but I am sure that I know how to love people. A few years ago, a close friend gave me one of the best compliments I’ve ever received (and I’ve received a lot of compliments, cause I’m just too amazing to not be complimented). He told me that I find out what people need and I give it to them. I thought it was a very nice observation and something that I didn’t know about myself nor believe half the time. But for the most part, it’s a motto I try to live by. I believe that to love people, you have to give them what they need, not just what they want.
I also mentioned, in my previous post, that to Love God, you must love people. It says so in 1 John 4:21, “And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.” Even if you don’t believe in God, I think it can be agreed upon that showing love for people would greatly benefit our world.
I know it’s not easy for everyone to figure out what others need, so, I’ll try and lay it out. First, the needs and theories of needs is varied and vast. There is, of course, the most famous theorist Abraham Maslow, who believed we are motivated by a hierarchy of needs. It’s important to note that there is not enough substantial research to support his theory, nevertheless it is the most highly accepted theory.
Kendra Cherry explains his hierarchy in her article, “The Five Levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs,” and says, “As a humanist, Maslow believed that people have an inborn desire to be self-actualized, that is, to be all they can be.” In order to reach our full potential, we have to meet certain needs along the way. The first four needs, “Physiological, security, social, and esteem needs are deficiency needs, which arise due to deprivation.” We feel okay when they are met, but anxious when they are not. The highest need of self-actualization is categorized as a growth need. It’s not motivated by a lack of something, but rather to grow towards something.
W. Huitt simply summarizes:
1) Physiological: “hunger, thirst, bodily comforts, etc.”
3) Belongingness and Love: “affiliate with others, be accepted”
4) Esteem: “to achieve, be competent, gain approval and recognition”
According to Huit, Maslow later differentiated the growth of self-actualization into:
5) Cognitive: “to know, to understand, and explore”
6) Aesthetic: “symmetry, order, and beauty”
7) Self-actualization: “to find self-fulfillment and realize one's potential”
8) Self-transcendence: “to connect to something beyond the ego or to help others find self-fulfillment and realize their potential”
Maslow believed that unless the lower basic needs were met, you couldn’t fulfill the higher up needs. This has been disproven by many other researchers, who believe we have all these needs, but don’t believe that they are in a hierarchy. In a study published in 2011, researchers from the University of Illinois tested this hierarchy and found, “while the fulfillment of the needs was strongly correlated with happiness, people from cultures all over the world reported that self-actualization and social needs were important even when many of the most basic needs were unfulfilled.”
Other theorists, such as William James and Mathes, proposed that there are three levels of human needs, which include, “material (physiological, safety), social (belongingness, esteem), and spiritual.” It is much like Maslow’s, but doesn’t include self-esteem and security. Alderer suggested that there was only “existence, relatedness, and growth” needs. Other theorists believe personality plays a role in our needs, such as how extraverted or introverted someone is. Ryan and Deci believe we have three needs that are not hierarchical, “the need for autonomy, the need for competence, and the need for relatedness.” The Institute for Management Excellence says our needs are: (1) security, (2) adventure, (3) freedom, (4) exchange, (5) power, (6) expansion, (7) acceptance, (8) community, and (9) expression. The theories and theorists go on and on.
Huitt points out that though there is little agreement on human basic needs, “bonding and relatedness are a component of every theory.” Clearly, in every person and in every culture, this is important to us. Huit also points out something I agree with, “Therefore, it seems appropriate to ask people what they want and how their needs could be met rather than relying on an unsupported theory.”
The best thing to do to find out what others need is to ask. Often, what people need is very small, such as help with the dishes, some more attention, being told something encouraging, giving someone their space, providing food, etc. Miki Kashtan explains that our needs constantly change, because we can never fulfill all at once. When we focus on getting enough money to buy food and pay for rent, we may neglect spending time with others. When we focus too much time and energy on helping others, we may neglect focusing on ourselves.
Of course, a lot of people don’t know what they need, and I think that part of showing love towards them is to try and figure it out. Understanding why people need what they do is a big key factor in being able to give it to them. My favorite part about being a coach, and particularly working with middle schoolers, is helping them grow. This is part of their need to self-actualize, which for them means building confidence and self-esteem. I remember middle school being among the most awkward and horrible years of my life. So, it’s very rewarding to be able to help my students in small ways and see them progress.
My team every year mostly consists of girls, and I’ve learned that around this age group is when girls drastically lose a lot of confidence in themselves. That’s why my number one priority is to help them accomplish skills so that they can believe in themselves more. I like to tell them that “I can’t” isn’t part of my vocabulary and that I don’t know what it means. I don’t allow them to say those words. I explain to them that they just haven’t been able to do it yet, but they can eventually. I heard them muttering “yet” all throughout last year after I told them this. It was pretty amusing.
Our needs are so varied, and there are so many we can choose to help others with. It’s not our job to help them with all of them, nor are we capable of doing so. Waitley suggests that you ask someone you care about, “what life would be like if time and money were not an object… if he or she had all the money and time needed to engage in the activities and were secure that both would be available again next year.” Then ask them what is keeping them from doing those things. Once you find out their obstacles, you can try and help solve them.
Now, it’s really important for me to mention that help shouldn’t ever be given reluctantly, because neither should love. Though I like to find goodness wherever I go, I’m very well aware that when I ask for help at work, sometimes my co-workers get annoyed. Sometimes, no one wants to help. More often, they are just too busy, because they have their own tables to take care of. There are those who ask, “What do you need?” because they really desire to help, and those who ask the same question because they feel obligated to help you. Often, we tend to help those who have already helped us.
Obviously, we don’t live in a world where everyone loves each other and wants to sacrifice their own time and resources to give someone else what they need. That world would be pretty amazing and filled with a lot of selfless people. Instead, there are a lot of selfish people, and mostly people who are only willing to go out of their way for a loved one, but not a stranger. Christians should be well aware that we are commanded to love our friends and our enemies. Luke 6:27-28 (NIV) says, “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” Christians often hear that we love because we are loved. Thus, we aren’t commanded to love others out of the goodness of our hearts, but instead God’s love should flow through us. God has loved us even though we constantly make mistakes and stumble. He shows us how to love others. I know that even for some Christians, that isn’t enough to convince us to love everyone, even more so for the non-religious.
I don’t think I can convince anyone why it’s important to show love to strangers and enemies. I think if it’s not already obvious, I can’t sway someone to make it obvious. I will explain how I try to show love to my friends and family (showing love to everyone else is an ongoing process). One of my best friends that I’ve known for eighteen years, once told me she didn’t want to ask me for favors because she didn’t want to burden me. When she told me this, I realized it was my job to make sure I never made her feel that way, or anyone else I love. I can’t say I do this very successfully, but I try very hard. When people feel like a burden, they don’t ask for help, so it’s important to me to make others feel like they can ask anything of me. It doesn’t mean that I can jump at everyone’s request, but I want them to know that if I can help, then I will.
Showing love for others is more than a commandment – it’s a necessity. When we don’t want to be loving, it becomes a sacrifice to do so, which makes it that much more important. How much would you sacrifice for your partner, your best friend, or your family? How much would you sacrifice for a stranger? It’s the small things – a kind word here, a dollar there, or listening without interrupting. Sometimes people need very little, and sometimes they need a lot. Are you willing to ask someone what they need?

My business is a complex sheet metal manufacturing cell with around 1600 live materials passing through at any one time and is currently set up as MRP driven. Due to this it is dificult to create stability in the planning as our demand signal is varying and we dont have resource to manage 1600 items at MPS.
A lot of these parts are supplied to internal assembly lines and have the same point of consumption so what I am proposing is to look at planning using Phantoms. if my understanding of this process is correct it will allow me to create a KIT phantom of parts with the same consumption point and plan this phantom as an MPS in mf50. Once the planning is complete at phantom KIT level MRP will then manage the base components to the phantom plan.
This is not currently used anywhere in my organisation so my understanding is only what i have read so i may have mis understood this function but please feel free to correct me if this is the case
From what i have found so far this requires special procurment type 60
Will this work how I understand or is there another way?
If this will work can sombody please explain to me how to set this up and what parameters are required?
Ideally if anybody currently uses this in the UK in a similar enviroment/ scenario and would be willing for me to come visit your business. I would be intrigued to see fully how this process works and how this is set up
Thanks in adavance for your help

When you’re a prisoner and you litigate against prison officials, you tend to get a lot of flack from those in charge. That is to say, their attitude seems to be “how dare you stand up for yourself and enforce your rights”? And the usual first reaction from prison officials when you start to enforce your rights in the courts is “retaliation.”
“Retaliation” has a specific definition in the prison setting. A prisoner has a right under the 14th Article in Amendment to the U.S. Constitution against retaliatory action while in prison. In 9th Circuit jurisprudence, retaliation occurs when prison officials do five things: (1) take adverse action against the prisoner (2) because of (3) the prisoner’s exercise of a constitutionally secured right, (4) the adverse action chilled the prisoner’s exercise of the constitutionally secured right, and (5) the adverse action didn’t reasonably advance a legitimate correctional goal.
But there seems to be an apparent lack of training for prison officials to cover their glutes when retaliating against prisoners, because they’re really not slick when they break the law. And for us prisoners whom know how to enforce our rights in courts, that just means another claim in our complaints.
Think of it like this: say a prison official refused to allow you a witness statement at a disciplinary hearing, and you get found guilty and lose good time credits. You thereafter submit an appeal, claiming a due process violation. After your appeal, prison officials transfer you to another prison for no reason.
You would have two separate claims for your subsequent 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit: (1) the initial due process claim and (2) a retaliation claim. The due process violation occurred because the right to call witnesses at prison disciplinary hearings is a right secured by the 14th Article in Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. See Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539 (1974). The retaliation occurred because prison officials (1) transferred you (2) because you (3) appealed [First Amendment Right] the initial due process violation, (4) the transfer was meant to chill your further exercise of your First Amendment rights and (5) the transfer didn’t serve ant legitimate correctional goal. See Pratt v. Rowland, 65 F. 3d 802, 896 n.4 (9th Cir. 1995).
Prison officials use retaliatory action to try to cow prisoners into being obedient offenders willing to accept whatever is done to them. Remember this: Just because they feed you bullshit doesn’t mean you have to eat it. If prison officials violate a prisoner’s rights, the prisoner needs to sue ’em. If they retaliate against the prisoner for suing ’em, sue ’em some more. Eventually prison officials will get tired of the prisoner financially benefitting from the officials’ failed attempts to abuse their authority.

In a controlled and double-blind study, the authors tested the hypothesis that preoperative insertion of intradermal needles at acupoints 2.5 cm from the spinal vertebrae (bladder meridian) provide satisfactory postoperative analgesia.
The authors enrolled patients scheduled for elective upper and lower abdominal surgery. Before anesthesia, patients undergoing each type of surgery were randomly assigned to one of two groups: acupuncture (n = 50 and n = 39 for upper and lower abdominal surgery, respectively) or control (n = 48 and n = 38 for upper and lower abdominal surgery, respectively). In the acupuncture group, intradermal needles were inserted to the left and right of bladder meridian 18-24 and 20-26 in upper and lower abdominal surgery before induction of anesthesia, respectively. Postoperative analgesia was maintained with epidural morphine and bolus doses of intravenous morphine. Consumption of intravenous morphine was recorded. Incisional pain at rest and during coughing and deep visceral pain were recorded during recovery and for 4 days thereafter on a four-point verbal rating scale. We also evaluated time-dependent changes in plasma concentrations of cortisol and catecholamines.
Starting from the recovery room, intradermal acupuncture increased the fraction of patients with good pain relief as compared with the control (P < 0.05). Consumption of supplemental intravenous morphine was reduced 50%, and the incidence of postoperative nausea was reduced 20-30% in the acupuncture patients who had undergone either upper or lower abdominal surgery (P < 0.01). Plasma cortisol and epinephrine concentrations were reduced 30-50% in the acupuncture group during recovery and on the first postoperative day (P < 0.01).
Preoperative insertion of intradermal needles reduces postoperative pain, the analgesic requirement, and opioid-related side effects after both upper and lower abdominal surgery. Acupuncture analgesia also reduces the activation of the sympathoadrenal system that normally accompanies surgery.
EPIDURAL analgesia or patient-controlled analgesia relieves postoperative pain in most patients undergoing abdominal surgery. However, analgesic drugs are expensive, and opioid analgesics are associated with complications, including drowsiness, pruritus, nausea and vomiting, and respiratory depression. Even a small reduction in the requirement for opioid analgesics is thus likely to be beneficial. Among the potential methods of reducing perioperative pain is acupuncture. 1–5
In traditional Chinese theory, there is a series of acupoints called viscera-associated points. Among them are points located 2.5 cm from the spinal vertebrae (bladder meridian [BL]). The viscera-associated BL acupoints are mainly located on middle and lower thoracic vertebrae for upper abdominal organs and on lower thoracic to lumbar vertebrae for lower abdominal organs. Stimulation of these points reduces pain induced by visceral dysfunction. Acupuncture to these points may thus alleviate pain after abdominal surgery. However, traditional needle acupuncture cannot easily be performed at these sites because it would interfere with operative maneuvers and require unusual positioning during recovery. An alternative is insertion of fine intradermal needles. These needles are virtually painless; they can be inserted preoperatively and then maintained in position with adhesive tape throughout surgery and for several postoperative days.
An excellent objective measure of postoperative pain is the plasma concentration of adrenal hormones. 6–10Several studies showed that intraoperative analgesia reduces plasma concentration of adrenal hormones. 6–8We therefore tested the hypothesis that preoperative insertion of intradermal needles at visceral-associated BL acupoints reduces postoperative pain scores, opioid requirement, opioid-related side effects, and adrenal responses induced by surgical stress in patients undergoing upper and lower abdominal surgery.
The protocol of this study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of University of Hirosaki (Hirosaki, Japan), and written informed consent was obtained from all participating patients. We studied patients scheduled for elective upper and lower abdominal surgery. We excluded those having one or more of the following conditions: (1) American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status greater than II; (2) preoperative opioid or epidural analgesia for cancer pain; (3) contraindication to epidural analgesia (i.e. , coagulopathy, skin infection); (4) body mass index greater than 30; (5) chronic obstructive or restrictive pulmonary disease; or (6) neurologic disease or immunocompromise.
We evaluated 107 patients undergoing elective upper abdominal surgery. On the day before surgery, an epidural catheter was inserted into the T7–T10 intravertebral space in the patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery. Epidural catheterization was performed with an 18-gauge Tuohy needle via a median approach and the loss-of-resistance method. A 20-gauge catheter was inserted and advanced 5–7 cm; subarachnoid placement was excluded by injection of 3 ml of 2% lidocaine, and correct catheter position was tested by injection of 7–10 ml of 1% lidocaine. We next determined the area of analgesia by administering an additional 7 ml of 1% lidocaine. Patients were then observed for at least 90 min. Technical difficulties, analgesic dermatomes, and complications of the epidural technique were recorded.
After epidural catheterization, patients who chose to participate in the study were randomly assigned to acupuncture (n = 54) or control (n = 53). The randomized treatment assignment was maintained in sequentially numbered, sealed opaque envelopes. The envelopes were opened after epidural catheterization and confirmation of correct catheter placement.
A physician visited all patients 2 h before induction of anesthesia. Patients were positioned prone, and appropriate acupuncture sites for the planned surgery were identified with a skin marker. We chose 2.5 cm to the left and right of the T9–L3 spinal vertebrae (BL18–BL24). We thus chose a total of 14 points in each patient. Then we showed the 5-mm-long intradermal needles (Asahi Industry, Inc., Kawaguchi, Japan;fig. 1) to each patient in both groups. The diameter of these needles was 0.16 mm, and they had pencil-point tips. The loop at the end of each needle prevented it from completely entering the skin.
We also evaluated 84 patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery. Epidural catheterization was nearly the same as in those undergoing upper abdominal surgery, with an exception of choice of intervertebral space (T10–L1). After epidural catheterization, patients choosing to participate in the study were also randomly assigned to acupuncture (n = 41) and control (n = 41) groups. Before induction of anesthesia, intradermal needles were inserted with the same method used in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery. We chose 2.5 cm to the left and right of the T11–L5 spinal vertebrae (BL20–BL26) in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery.
We accurately explained to each patient that insertion of intradermal needles is virtually painless and that they may or may not feel slight pain during insertion. In patients undergoing both upper and lower abdominal surgery assigned to acupuncture, the intradermal needles were inserted almost horizontally into the skin at each acupoint. In patients in control groups for upper and lower abdominal surgery, a needle was positioned at each acupoint, but the needle was not inserted into the intradermal space. The needles were secured with opaque adhesive tape and remained in position for 4 postoperative days. Insertion of these thin, short intradermal needles is painless or very nearly painless. Because we inserted the needles to the back while patients were placed in prone position, they could not see our procedure. It is thus unlikely that individual patients were able to determine whether they were in the active treatment group. The physician in charge of intradermal acupuncture was, of course, aware of the group assignment. However, the anesthesiologists providing intraoperative care, physicians evaluating pain and opioid-related side effects, and the investigators measuring various biochemical mediators were fully blinded to the group assignments.
To assure that patients were blinded to needle insertion, we performed a preliminary study in 40 patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery who were randomly assigned to acupuncture (n = 20) or control (n = 20) groups. Intradermal needles were inserted in the acupuncture patients as previously described. On the third operative day, patients were asked which group they thought they were assigned to. In both groups, 50–60% of the patients were unable to guess to which group they had been assigned, 20–30% guessed acupuncture, and the remaining 20% patients thought they were in the control group.
Patients were premedicated with 0.01–0.02 mg/kg oral diazepam and 75 mg oral roxatidine (an H2blocker) 90 min before induction of anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with 1–2 μg/kg fentanyl, 5 mg/kg thiopental, and 0.08 mg/kg vecuronium. We maintained anesthesia with 0.15 mg/kg droperidol, 10–20 μg/kg fentanyl, and vecuronium. During anesthesia, all patients were mechanically ventilated with 30% oxygen and 70% nitrous oxide to maintain the arterial carbon dioxide tension between 35 and 45 mmHg. Epidural anesthesia was not used intraoperatively. Radial arterial pressure, electrocardiogram, and pulse oximeter saturation were monitored in all patients. Lactated Ringer’s solution (8–10 ml · kg−1· h−1) was administered per the judgment of the attending anes-thesiologist.
Evaluation and Treatment of Pain
We evaluated incisional pain during bed rest and during coughing, as well as deep visceral pain with a verbal rating scale (VRS; 0 = no pain, 1 = mild pain, 2 = moderate pain, 3 = severe pain). These pain parameters were finally graded to two categories: good pain relief (VRS = 0 or 1) or poor pain relief (VRS = 2 or 3). Patients assessed drowsiness, pruritus, and nausea and vomiting with a VRS (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe). One week after surgery, we asked patients to rate the overall adequacy of pain treatment: 0 = excellent, 1 = good, 2 = fair, and 3 = poor. We could not evaluate the incidence of urinary retention because each patient had an indwelling catheter for the initial postoperative days. Postoperative pain and analgesia-related complications (below) was evaluated in the recovery room before epidural morphine was administered (elapsed time zero), and at 8 am on the subsequent 4 postoperative days. After the first evaluation, we injected 3 mg morphine in 7–10 ml bupivacaine into the epidural catheter. Epidural morphine (3 mg) was then administered at 12-h intervals (9 pm and 9 am) for 3 postoperative days. No other epidural morphine was given.
Residual pain was treated with intravenous morphine as needed. We calculated the daily consumption of morphine during the first 4 postoperative days. The physician in charge of evaluating pain and analgesic-related complications visited the patients at approximately 8 am, 2 pm, and 8 pm for 4 postoperative days. When patients complained of pain at rest or during coughing (VRS ≥ 2), a bolus dose of 5 mg morphine was administered intravenously. If pain persisted (VRS ≥ 2), additional morphine was given at 30-min intervals until the VRS became less than 2. The maximum dose of morphine permitted between physician visits was 20 mg; the maximum daily allowance for intravenous morphine was thus 60 mg. On patients’ request, midazolam was given intravenously at 10 pm. Respiratory depression (arterial carbon dioxide tension > 55 mmHg) accompanied by drowsiness was treated with intravenous naloxone. Pruritus was treated with antihistamines. Metoclopramide was administered as necessary for treatment of nausea and vomiting.
Measurements of Adrenal Hormones
Arterial blood for determination of cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine concentrations was sampled before induction of anesthesia, immediately before surgery, 1 h after the beginning of surgery, on emergence from anesthesia in the recovery room, and on the first postoperative day. The blood was anticoagulated with 10 mg EDTA and centrifuged immediately; the resulting plasma was stored at −80°C until analysis.
The plasma concentration of all hormones were measured in duplicate. Cortisol was measured in 0.5 ml of plasma by a slight modification of a spectrophotometric method. 11The excitation and emission wavelengths were 470 and 530 nm, respectively. The coefficient of variation was less than 5%. Catecholamines were measured by our established method. 12Briefly, catecholamines in 1 ml of plasma were extracted to activated almina (Wako, Tokyo, Japan) and concentrated in 150 μl methylalcohol containing 5% acetate. Pentafluoropropionic anhydride derivatives of catecholamines were synthesized and analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (JMS-D300, JEOL, Tokyo, Japan) with a multiion detector. We used dopamine-D3 as an internal standard. A glass column contained 10% silicone GE SE-30 (80–100 mesh; GL Sciences Inc., Tokyo, Japan). The temperature of the column was 190°C. We used helium as the carrier gas at 1.2 kg/cm2. The mass spectrum showed molecular ions at mass numbers 428, 431, 590, and 604, corresponding to the pentafluoropropionic anhydride derivatives of dopamine, dopamine-D3, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, respectively. Minimum detection concentrations of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine were 2, 1, and 1 pg/ml, respectively. The coefficient of variation was less than 7% for each.
The studies in patients having upper and lower abdominal surgery were considered to be independent because we could hardly randomly assign the type of surgery. We therefore avoided statistical comparisons between the types of surgery, but instead restricted analysis to the randomized treatment groups within each type of surgery. The first evaluation of pain in the recovery room was designated as elapsed time zero. Each pain parameter was evaluated with a chi-square test.
Patients in each group were allocated to one of two categories: those with good pain relief (VRS = 0 or 1) and those with poor pain relief (VRS = 2 or 3). Other time-dependent intragroup data were evaluated with repeated-measures analysis of variance and Dunnett tests for comparison to elapsed time zero;P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Differences between the control and acupuncture groups at each time point were evaluated with two-tailed, unpaired t tests or chi-square tests, as appropriate. We compared values in the two groups at five or four (daily consumption of morphine) time points and thus used a Bonferroni correction. Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
We enrolled and randomized 107 patients for upper abdominal surgery and 82 for lower abdominal surgery. Fourteen patients were unavoidably excluded because postoperative artificial respiration was required to treat dyspnea, low partial pressure of oxygen, pulmonary embolism, myocardial ischemia, or massive bleeding. Therefore, final evaluation was completed on 98 patients for upper abdominal surgery and 77 for lower abdominal surgery. Demographic and morphometric characteristics and intraoperative management were similar in the acupuncture and control groups (tables 1 and 2).
More than 30% of patients received calcium blockers for intraoperative hypertension. However, we did not administer β blockers, clonidine, and anti–angiotensin-converting enzymes. No patients complained of pain during insertion of the intradermal needles. All evaluated patients emerged from anesthesia within 10 min after nitrous oxide was discontinued and muscle relaxation was antagonized. No complications such as skin infection or postinsertion discomfort developed in any patients during the 5-day study period. One week after surgery, more than 95% of patients in both groups gave an excellent-to-good judgment of our overall pain treatment.
The degree of pain relief on the VRS for incisional pain at rest and during cough and for deep visceral pain improved significantly over time in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery in both groups (P < 0.0001). However, from the recovery room to the second postoperative day, postoperative pain relief was significantly better in the acupuncture than in the control group (P < 0.05;table 3). Results were nearly similar after lower abdominal surgery: analgesia was significantly better in the acupuncture than in the control groups from the recovery room to the first or second postoperative day (P < 0.05;table 4). In patients undergoing both upper and lower abdominal surgery, daily consumption of morphine decreased over time in both groups (P < 0.0001) but was up to 50% less in the acupuncture than in the control group on postoperative days 1–4 (P < 0.01;fig. 2).
None of the patients experienced respiratory depression. The incidence of other analgesic-related side effects was greatest on the day of surgery and subsequently decreased gradually. None of the observed side effects was severe. The incidence of drowsiness and pruritus was similar in the acupuncture and control groups. Postoperative nausea and vomiting were less frequent after upper abdominal surgery in the acupuncture than control groups (24%vs. 50%;P < 0.05). The incidence of nausea and vomiting was also less in the acupuncture than control patients after lower abdominal surgery (18%vs. 47%;P < 0.01;fig. 3).
Starting 1 h after the beginning of upper abdominal surgery, plasma concentrations of cortisol, norepinephrine, and epinephrine increased significantly in both groups. Plasma dopamine concentrations were elevated during recovery in both groups. All catecholamine concentrations except norepinephrine peaked at emergence from anesthesia. The increases in plasma concentrations of epinephrine and cortisol were greater in the control than in the acupuncture group during recovery and the subsequent day (P < 0.01;fig. 4). The results were comparable during lower abdominal surgery. However, plasma dopamine concentrations failed to increase in either group (fig. 5).
Acupuncture increased the fraction of patients with good pain relief from the recovery room to the second postoperative day and reduced analgesic requirements by up to 50%. The mechanism by which acupuncture produces analgesia remains unclear. However, previous clinical studies 1–4are consistent with a classical “gate control theory” in which sensory stimulation by intradermal needles activates large nerve fibers and changes pain perception in the spinal cord. This then diminishes pain stimulation transmitted via smaller fibers. Secretion of endogenous opioids such as endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphins may also contribute to acupuncture analgesia. 13
Our study improves on previous ones 1–5because we performed intradermal acupuncture before anesthesia and surgery and thus did not interfere with operative maneuvers and postoperative rest. Our needles were so small and so fine that none of the patients complained of needling pain or postneedling soreness. Intradermal acupuncture is easy to use and requires no special training. Furthermore, the cost/performance ratio is better than with electric acupuncture because a stimulator is not required. An important aspect of our study is that it was double-blinded. Consequently, neither the patients nor the evaluating physicians were aware of the treatment status. This is a key element of the study design because placebo effects in acupuncture can be substantial and have confounded numerous previous investigations. 13,14
There are two types of pain after abdominal surgery: incisional and visceral. In our experience, sharp incisional pain dominates the early postoperative course. Deep visceral pain thus appeared to be masked by the sharp incisional pain on the first operative day. Incisional pain was successfully treated by opioid analgesics, but deep visceral pain was not relieved and thus dominated after several days. Although acupuncture may have modulated the visceral nociceptive system in animal experiments, 15,16whether acupuncture improves postoperative visceral pain has not been clear. One study by Smith et al. 17suggested that electroacupuncture was more effective in reducing incisional pain than in relieving visceral pain. An important finding in our study is that preoperative acupuncture reduced deep visceral pain. This is consistent with the fact that stimulation of acupoints of BL is traditionally used for various types of pain caused by vital organ disturbances.
Preoperative intradermal acupuncture reduced the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting after upper and lower abdominal surgery. This antiemetic effect can be explained, in part, by better analgesia and a lesser opioid requirement. 1,2,18In addition to analgesic effects, direct antiemetic effects are also plausible. Dundee et al. 19reported that acupuncture needling of the sixth point on the pericardial meridian (P6, Neikuan) is antiemetic in adult patients undergoing minor gynecologic surgery in whom pain was unlikely to be a major trigger for nausea and vomiting. Ho et al. 18reported the beneficial effect of acupuncture on prevention of nausea and vomiting induced by epidural morphine.
In contrast, two studies 20,21showed that acupuncture to P6 was not beneficial for postoperative nausea and vomiting after strabismus surgery where pain is not the trigger. This inconsistency can be explained, in part, by timing of acupuncture and selection of acupoints. Dundee et al. 19pointed out that to be effective, acupuncture should be performed before emetic stimulation by anesthesia and surgery. Veroli and Astier 22pointed out the importance of the choice of acupoints: bladder and gall bladder points are better than P6 for treatment of nausea and vomiting. The marked antiemetic effect we observed is thus presumably in part a result of our selection of acupoints and preanesthetic needling.
Thoracic epidural anesthesia can completely block the endocrine response to lower abdominal surgery. 9,10However, high thoracic epidural anesthesia failed to suppress the responses. 9,10Segawa et al. 23showed the importance of afferent stimulation of the phrenic nerve for endocrine responses in upper abdominal surgery. Few studies evaluate the effects of acupuncture on the adrenal hormones. 24,25Plasma cortisol and epinephrine concentrations increased over time and peaked in the recovery room, but the increases were smaller in patients who received acupuncture than in those who did not. Postoperative pain increases the plasma concentrations of cortisol and epinephrine. 26–29It is thus likely that cortisol and epinephrine concentrations increased less in the treated than untreated patients because acupuncture significantly reduced postoperative pain.
Intraoperative increases in plasma norepinephrine were similar in the acupuncture and control groups. Plasma norepinephrine does not correlate as closely with pain as do epinephrine and cortisol. Camu and Debucquoy 30reported that plasma concentrations of epinephrine and cortisol decreased after postoperative opioid administration, whereas norepinephrine did not change. According to Tschernko et al. , 6postoperative pain intensity and the analgesic requirement were much less in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery than in those who underwent axillary thoracotomy. Significantly greater plasma epinephrine concentrations were noted in the former than in the latter patients, but there were no significant differences in plasma norepinephrine concentrations. Plasma dopamine concentrations were also similar in the acupuncture and control groups. Plasma dopamine concentrations increase when the adrenal medulla is maximally stimulated. 31Our results suggest that acupuncture cannot suppress a marked adrenomedullary activation by intraoperative nociceptive stimulation.
Although acupuncture per se reduces the sympathoadrenal activity in both animal 32and human 33,34studies, our results differ from those reported by Kho et al. , 25who reported no differences in plasma adrenal hormones in patients with and without intraoperative acupuncture. This inconsistency may be a result, in part, of methodologic differences. Moreover, a serious limitation of their study is that they failed to evaluate postoperative pain or analgesic requirements. It therefore remains unclear whether their acupuncture method produced postoperative analgesia.
In summary, preoperative intradermal acupuncture does not require special training, does not interfere with operative maneuvers or postoperative rest, and does not cause complications. Intradermal acupuncture decreased incisional and visceral pain, reduced analgesic requirement, and diminished the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Acupuncture analgesia also reduced the pain-induced activation of the sympathetic nervous system that normally accompanies surgery. We conclude that preoperative intradermal acupuncture is easy to use, safe, and markedly improves postoperative analgesia.

Yesterday I wrote about on Social Media about a Release, Surrender & Let Go List.
I found the idea in one of my blogs from 2017 and felt drawn to make this list again. There’s always more to let go of, and some things need to be released (much) more than once.
I made my list this morning.
There aren’t many material things on it. I’m good at letting stuff go and enjoy recycling or throwing out I no longer need.
There are no people to say goodbye to. My space is filled with people I enjoy hanging out with (because I already said goodbye to those I no longer want around me).
But when I started writing down thoughts I’d like to release, a ton of them came out.
None of them new. I’ve released them before. Not completely, obviously, since they’re still present. That’s fine. I keep releasing them as often as needed until they no longer bother me.
I share some of them below because I’m not the only one who thinks these thoughts. Pretty much everyone I know recognizes most if not all of them.
If you recognize them, too, you can put them on your own Release, Surrender & Let Go List. Then, shift or ditch them in any way that feels right for you:
- I must be doing something wrong.
- There’s something wrong with me.
- I’m not good enough.
- I’m not capable enough.
- This isn’t possible for me. (‘This’ can be anything I want but don’t believe I can have.)
If so, focus on everything that’s right with you and you’re doing right. Look at how you’re already more than good and capable enough. Open your mind to bigger possibilities and opportunities.
These thoughts don’t serve you and there not true. Or at least, they’re not the WHOLE truth.
You may make a mistake, for example, but that doesn’t mean you’re not good enough or you never do anything right.
What will you put on your list? What are you releasing, surrendering, and letting go now?

As the United Nations considers giving the Taliban credentials and a seat at the table, resistance fighters try to get their country back. The former Vice President of Afghanistan, Amrullah Saleh, leads Afghan commanders to push back and try to keep control of Panjshir.
The State Department is considering if the Taliban should be present at the table of the world leaders. The terrorist organization. The ones that view women as less than men and execute gays. That Taliban.
So, while the Taliban waits for a response for permission to speak at the General Assembly and credential status, the world waits as well.
According to a transcript, the United States wants to include the “Quad” nations (United States, India, Japan, and Australia) into the decision, which wouldn’t be a negative idea. Still, maybe the U.N. should consider getting feedback from countries a little bit closer to Afghanistan. The effects of that status would be felt across the globe, but the Taliban’s ability to govern their country should be considered to decide like that. You can’t just assume they’ll be able to uphold any promise they’ve made or be able to run Afghanistan without massive outside support.
The official spokesman for the Taliban is the member who suggested holding the seat at the U.N table. His Twitter is @suhailshabeen1. I’m guessing @suhailshabeen had already been taken, and the one had to be added.
This guy has 510.3K followers. Former President Donald Trump is banned. Let that sink in.
The United States has to be the one to stop this. China and Russia would have no problem with the Taliban being in control and having a seat at the table because it would legitimize any commerce between the countries and the Taliban.
The Taliban are actively retaliating against the former Afghanistan government allies. They’re stripping human rights away and refusing to back down. The United States hasn’t expressed interest in denying the Taliban, so what does that say? It says that they’re considering the possibility. President Joe Biden’s administration is actively considering allowing the Taliban a seat at the U.N. table. But, the greatest threat to the United States is “climate change.”
On August 16th, 2021, the U.N. said that the Taliban’s conduct would matter “a great deal” in determining what level of support and acceptance the world gives the Taliban. No member of the U.N. has to live under the Taliban, so how would they know? How much would they excuse?
Even Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the U.S. would look at what the Taliban does rather than what they say to determine how the U.S. moves forward with them. This statement solidifies the bond and cooperation the U.S. gave the Taliban while withdrawing from Afghanistan and should be investigated further.

The shape of esports to come: experts weigh in on what to expect in 2021
It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times. Let the historical record show that 2020 was a long, crazy couple of years. That’s as true for the world of esports as it is for society in a broader sense.
If nothing else, 2020 will be remembered as the year when traditional sports shut down—at least for a little while—and esports filled the void. We can thank the COVID-19 pandemic for that. Whether you’re talking about the Formula One Virtual Grand Prix, the Virtual Tour de France, or LoL Worlds, more people were watching—and wagering on—esports than ever before.
A few highlights, for the benefit of those who were more focused on other things during the raging dumpster fire that was most of 2020:
- Dota 2’s The International 10 shattered records for esports prize pools. According to the Prize Pool Tracker, it sits at US$40,018,195 as I write this. Not bad for a postponed event. (The International 10 is now scheduled to take place in Stockholm in August of 2021.)
- On August 28, multi-platinum-selling musician Post Malone joined the ownership team of Envy Gaming. His timing could not have been better. That weekend, Envy’s Dallas Empire claimed a decisive victory over Atlanta FaZe, clinching the first-ever Call of Duty League championship.
- On October 10, the Overwatch League’s San Francisco Shock successfully defended their championship title against the Seoul Dynasty.
- At the end of October, South Korea’s Damwon Gaming claimed the title at the 2020 League of Legends World Championship.
- Twitch saw massive viewership numbers, reporting a record-setting 1.7 billion hours in November alone. With 116 million hours viewed, League of Legends led the esports/gaming pack, followed by Among Us (75 million), Fortnite (74 million), and Minecraft (73 million).
What can we expect in 2021? Our crystal ball is a little cloudy, so we asked a few in-the-know folks for their predictions. Most of them didn’t respond, because that’s esports for you. Quite frankly, we didn’t need a crystal ball to see that coming. However, here are a couple who did respond, and to whom we are eternally grateful:
Dr. Aaron Koshy
Chief Editor, International Journal of Esports
“I predict that the esports organizations which have invested most heavily in research and restructuring in a peri/post COVID-19 world will growth the fastest in 2021.
“The obsession with elite esports professionals is unhealthy and frankly undesirable. We need to carry out basic research on esports players as a much larger cohort to grasp notions such as improving health and performance.”
Manager of Durham College’s Esports Arena
“I think 2021 has the capability to be both good and bad for the esports industry. With the remote nature of 2020 carrying into 2021 I believe more brands will continue to move into the space to support the competitive aspects (players, teams, streamers, tournaments) of esports but I don’t think we’ll see that same support carry over to community programs.
“On a collegiate note, we’ve already seen 2020 claim Tespa, which was a blow to collegiate esports communities across North America. However despite the lack of community support for collegiate, we have seen more schools enter into ‘varsity esports’. This shift seems largely due to the lack of traditional sports available at the moment and I believe this trend is likely to continue into 2021.”
Founder of Espo
“I think we’re going to see more esports orgs roll out fan engagement strategies in 2021. Some of the titans like Team Liquid, Cloud 9 and Envy Gaming have gone a step further by creating their own native fan engagement platforms. However, I think esports fans are going to want and expect more access to their favourite orgs, players, and content creators than what these native platforms are currently offering.
“After carrying out thousands of interviews with esports fans from around the world, we’ve built a library of over 100 perks and benefits that esports fans have repeatedly told us they want to get their hands on. World famous brands have also told us they want to engage more directly with esports fans, so I think we’ll see brands diversify their esports marketing budget towards new digital fan experience and engagement solutions.
“I’m hopeful that our new, multi-team, esports fan engagement platform will be able to fill this gap. We’re due to launch the Espo platform in the coming weeks and we’ve had a fantastic reception from several world-class orgs, including our six Team Partners—BBG, Team BDS, BOOM Esports, GODSENT, F2K and Team Queso. Our platform is going to see an unparalleled variety of exclusive Fan Perks for fans to access with their favourite players and content creators.
“By the summer, our next expansion pack of the Espo platform should come online, offering even more innovation in the field of digital fan experience and engagement. We’ve been designing interactive feature sets for fans to become more active in their role as esports fans, gamifying these features and integrating them with our Team and Brand Partners.”
As it turns out, we weren’t the only ones soliciting 2021 predictions. Espo put out a call on Twitter, and here are the responses it generated:

Pneumatic Wave-Power Conversion By A Phase-Controlled Buoy
The design of a pneumatic wave-power buoy is described. The hull of the buoy is spherically shaped with an opening to the sea in its lower end. To obtain a fixed reference, a strut is passing through the buoy to a universal joint on the sea bed. The heave motion of the buoy may be phase controlled by clamping the hull to the strut during one or two intervals of each wave period. The water column enclosed by the buoy acts as a piston forcing air through a turbine . The air flow is rectified by non-return valves. The buoy can produce electrical energy when it is fixed, when it is freely floating, or when it is phase controlled. Even in the most severe wave conditions the power production is maintained . Model experiments with the freely floating buoy in rough seas have demonstrated that the vertical anchoring forces in extreme waves are smaller than the largest anchoring forces which may occur when the buoy is phase controlled in waves of modest height. From these experiments, locations with water depths of 80 m were found to require prohibitively expensive mooring struts. A water depth of 40 m was then chosen . A time-domain mathematical model of the pneumatic phase controlled buoy is presented which uses a time-series of the wave elevation as input to calculate the motion of the buoy and its power production . A computer program for numerical simulation of the power buoy is prepared. The hydrodynamical performance of the buoy is described by an approximat i on to applied- pressure parameters computed from known values of the radiation impedance matrix and of the excitation forces of two concentric sections of a rigid, heaving hemisphere. It has been shown that the phase angles of the excitation forces of the two sections are equal and , - ·1 I I identical to the phase angle of the excitation force of the hemisphere. IV The impulse response functions used when computing the excitation quantities of the buoy for a given time-series of wave elevation, are found to be non-causal. In order to compute the excitation force and the excitation volume flux with a reasonable degree of accuracy, information is req uired on the future surface elevation for a time, which is one seventh, respectively one twelvth of the time for which information on the past is required. From numerical simulations the turbine shaft power is computed for one single 10 m diameter buoy operated in regular waves of 2 m height and period 5-14 s. The results clearly show that for the pneumatic buoy, phase control is essential in order to absorb any significant amount of power from waves of modest heights. When the buoy is freely floating, the turbine shaft power is 2 kW or lower for all wave periods. In the same waves the fixed buoy delivers 4-19 kW on the turbine shaft. If the buoy is phase controlled with latching in both upper and lower position, the turbine shaft power exceeds 110 kW for wave periods in the range 6-12 s. A peak production of about 150 kW is obtained for wave periods of 7-10 s. For longer periods the power production falls off due to the limited energy storing capacity of the buoy . If the buoy is phase controlled with latching in the lower position only, more than 55 kW is produced for wave periods of 6-12 s. A peak production of 98 kW is obtained for wave periods of 7-8 s. The power production of a buoy of 12 m diameter was computed whose linear dimensions are obtained by scaling those · of the 10 m buoy. The turbine used in the 12 m buoy was, however, identical to that of the 10 m buoy. Compared to the 10 m buoy, the generated power was increased for l onge r wave periods due to increased energy storing capacity. The heave amplitude of the 12 m buoy was, howe v er, for all periods smaller than the amplitude of the 10 m buoy. This fact indicates that the turbine used in the 10 m buoy do not provide optimum damping of the 12 m buoy. I ' In irregular waves, with the energy transport equal to that of a regular wave of 2 m height and of 10 s period, the power production of the buoy is reduced by 32-45 % compared to the power production in the corresponding regular wave. The lower figure pertain to a JONSWAP sea and the higher to a Pierson-Moscowitz sea. The reduction is partly due to the transient motion of the buoy in irregular waves, and partly due to the simple strategy of unlatching used when phasecontrolling the buoy in the simulator. The smoothing effect of the air chambers on the air V flow through the turbine is substantial. The air flow through the non-return valves which commuriicate with the outer atmosphere is much smaller than the flow through the valves communicating with the pump chamber. Hence, the area of the former valves may be reduced compared to the area of the latter. With no heat transfer included in the model, the temperature of the high pressure chamber always exceeds the temperature of the low pressure chamber. Hence, there will be a continuous heat loss between these chambers unles s the walls between them is thermally insulated.

This naked youth, crowned with a laurel wreath, is to be seen in the interior of an ancient Athenian wine cup. It would only become visible to the user as the cup was drained. The boy bends down inside a giant krater, a vessel in which strong Greek wine was diluted with water. In fact there is more than liquid being mixed here. With its themes of male beauty, athletic prowess and wine drinking, the cup neatly encapsulates several of the aristocratic ideals of late sixth-century Athens.
The English word gymnasium derives from the Greek word gumnos, meaning naked, for in ancient Athens athletics were conducted in the nude. On one side of the exterior of the cup, three young men are shown exercising. One strips off his cloak, another, already naked, holds a large round object, probably meant to be a discus, while a third runs before him. These are ephebes – young, well-born Athenian men. The security of Athens rested on her army, and physical prowess in male youth was seen as a sign of moral and civic virtue.
Lest anyone failed to appreciate their broad shoulders and long, well-proportioned limbs, an inscription running around the outside of the cup and concluding in its interior, advertises the excellence of these youths: 'The boy is beautiful. The boy is beautiful. Yes, the boy.' The Greek word used is kalos – an adjective that suggests inner nobility as much as surface beauty.
Nudity, which revealed a man’s physique, was a heroic, even god-like trait. On another, slightly later red-figure vase in the Fitzwilliam, left [GR.13.1917], the archetypal Athenian hero Theseus fights a brigand called Sinis. Although a cloak is draped over his arm, his muscular, naked body is revealed as he prepares to thrust his sword home. He is very much the same physical type as the boys on the cup – an ideal ephebe, a heroic image to aspire to and emulate.
Images of heroes like Theseus were often found in gymnasia. But so too were images of Eros, the boyish god of love. Another cup in the Fitzwilliam, left and right [GR.13.1955], shows an athlete next to a finishing post approached by this winged deity, almost his mirror image.
Athletic victory and nudity could provoke an erotic response in the spectator, and gymnasia were places where homosexual relationships were initiated and fostered. Nineteenth-century scholars tended to ignore ‘the unspeakable vice of the Greeks', but it is acknowledged today that pederasty – love between an erastes, an older man, and an eromenos, a youth – played an important educational role in Athenian life. The promising young ephebe would reap the benefits of the older man’s experience and wisdom. Sexual intercourse might take place, but it was not necessarily the primary objective.
Another Greek institution in which pederasty flourished was the symposium – the all-male drinking party. On the other side of this cup we again see three young men, possibly the same three from the gymnasium. They are still nude and they wear crowns that they might have won on the athletics field. But now they cavort around a mixing bowl, like that on the interior, perhaps enjoying the reward for a successful day in the field.
As well as being an occasion for drunkenness, love-making and celebration, the symposium could also give rise to cultivated conversation. One of the most famous accounts of such a banquet was written by the great philosopher Plato in c. 384 BCE. In this, the most entertaining of Plato’s dialogues, a group of eminent Athenians gather to toast the success of the playwright Agathon, who has won a dramatic competition. Each man delivers a speech outlining his theory of love. Towards the end, Alcibiades, a notoriously kalos youth of Athens, drunkenly gatecrashes the party and tells of his unsuccessful attempts to seduce the great philosopher Socrates.
'... I suggested we go along to the gymnasium and take some exercise together, thinking that something was bound to happen there. And, would you believe it, we did our exercises together and wrestled with each other time and again, with not a soul in sight, and still I got no further...[it was] as if I were the lover trying to seduce his beloved, instead of the other way around ...'
This wine cup, with its beautiful athletes, mixing wine and sport, would have been an appropriate vessel, one feels, at Plato’s famous party.
Cup, (A) athletes, (B) revellers, youth at krater (I) youth inside a bell-krater

I couldn’t even read the bios out loud without feeling a lump in my throat. As we prepared for our coverage of the Green Carpet Event at Smith & Wollensky’s iconic Castle location in Boston, where they announced their support of a group called The Mission Continues, our whole crew was somber and quiet.
It’s not that what we do is trivial. But we can edit out the bad parts. We can do a retake, a rewrite, a do over.
America’s soldiers don’t always get that opportunity.
And when they return home after service, they carry scars. We may be able to see those that they carry on their bodies—the lost limbs, the visible scars. But we don’t usually recognize the invisible battle scars.
I learned that phrase from Natasha Young, who served for 12 years as a Marine and came home with invisible scars. Her life changed, she says, when she found The Mission Continues. We’ll show her story to you, along with that of Jeffrey Hall, who also benefitted from the non-profit organization.
So thanks to Smith & Wollensky for stepping up and helping our soldiers with the transition back to civilian life. It’s been a bit emotional—like when we read our scripts to some of the principles with The Mission Continues, and had a hard time getting through the story.
You see, even for seasoned journalists it’s hard not to get a bit emotional when it comes to our country and its veterans. We’ve all seen the battle-scarred men and women honored in the Veteran’s Day Parade. We’ve heard the stories of post-traumatic stress disorder and its impact on people; we’ve heard how those who served in some wars received a less than stellar welcome home.
In other words, we haven’t always supported those who support and defend.
It’s nice to see it changing. It’s nice to know that when you go up to a stranger in uniform and say, “Thank you,” they know what you mean—that you don’t want to disturb them, but that their sacrifice has meaning to you and is appreciated. It’s nice that political affiliations can be put aside in favor of devotion to our country.
It’s nice to see a restaurant company step up and take on part of the challenge.
We don’t see all of the scars, but we can help to heal them anyway. And our veterans need to know that we care. They need to know that we support them, during their military service and beyond.
So work through that lump in your throat, that emotion, that feeling that something is bigger than you.
Because it is.

Travelling in a large group is all fun except the part where you have to get separated while going from one place to another in private cars or when you have to wait for a public commute,empty enough to accommodate all. Is there an alternative? Well,yes. The chartered bus is arguably the best mode of moving about when you’re traveling in a large pack.
Some of the added perks of hiring a chartered bus are :
- Reduced cost: Contrary to what people usually think,hiring a chartered bus is cheaper than hiring small private cars as you can divide the cost per head and contribute a share of the total expense. Moreover,a lot of chartered bus companies offer a varied price range to suit every individual’s needs.
- Convenient: You can save yourself from the labor of having to arrange and coordinate the entire group by simply putting them into one single vehicle.
- Safety: While traveling in unknown places,safety is a primary concern. Rather than having to rely on unknown tour guides or being at the mercy of local people, hiring a chartered bus ensures a lot more safety. There are a whole lot of reputed chartered bus rental companies that provide quality service,their reliable employees making sure to put your safety in top priority.

On December 13, 2017, the English as a Second Language Department held its 3rd-annual ESL Research and Professional Development Colloquium. Having grown from 16 participants in the first year to more than double that for 2017’s event, the Colloquium was a tremendous success. Presentations from faculty, students, and invited guests explored ESL-related topics and issues including IELTS (the International English Language Testing System), strategies to build engagement and success, and employment considerations. With guests from the ESL Department, TRUWorld, the Maple Leaf School, JUMP, Overlander Residential Care, and IQ Bamboo, as well as students from the Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) and Master of Education programs and the SERV 3000 course, the day truly embodied the ESL Departmental Vision: Imagine a Community of Success.
The Colloquium highlighted the new ESL Department mission statement: With a spirit of collaboration, the TRU Department of ESL actively supports student success, cultural awareness and inclusion through
- innovative, scholarly informed teaching and learning,
- facilitating connections between disciplines and communities, and
- experiential and impactful learning opportunities.
Three ESL colleagues were honoured at the event: Jason Brown, Lecturer, and Jack Massalski, Sessional Lecturer, nominated for the ESL Department Teaching Excellence Award, and Senior Lecturer Karen Densky, the recipient of the award.
The Colloquium would not have been possible without four key elements: first and foremost, the territory on which we gathered and the resources it provides; the honored guests and attendees; the presenters for their knowledge, skills and passion for their students and teaching; and, finally, the organizing committee members Jim Hu, Wendy Krauza, Dian Henderson, Susanna Fawkes, and Karen Densky.

A reality of running a business is that at times you have to part ways with an employee. While it is never a pleasant experience, there are some responsibilities to consider when terminating an employee or even reducing their hours.
If you have had to terminate an employee, do you need to keep them on your Group Health Insurance Plan?
The short answer is no. You don’t need to continue paying their insurance, however, you must offer them to apply for COBRA insurance.
How Does COBRA Insurance Work?
First off, COBRA is short for the ‘Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act’.
COBRA is an insurance program that allows eligible employees and their dependents continued benefits of health insurance coverage when an employee loses their job or experiences a reduction of work hours.
Health insurance coverage from COBRA extends for a limited period of 18 or 36 months, depending upon applicable scenarios.
For anybody who has lost health insurance benefits during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) released a new final rule that temporarily extends the period to 60 days to enroll.
It is important to note that the cost of COBRA coverage is usually higher because the newly unemployed individual pays the entire cost of the insurance. Employers typically pay a significant portion of healthcare premiums for employees. This extra cost can make this coverage more expensive for you, even though it’s the same health plan.
Are All Past Employees Eligible for COBRA?
Most previous employees are eligible for COBRA by one of the following qualifying events:
The employee is no longer employed for any reason other than gross misconduct.
The employee’s hours are cut by the company.
Employees who work for a company with at least 20 full-time employees and who have been enrolled under their employer’s insurance for at least one day are eligible for Federal COBRA.
There is no minimum number of workdays required to be eligible for COBRA.
Offering COBRA and CAL-COBRA to Previous Employees
Federal COBRA applies to employers and group health plans that cover 20 or more employees.
If an employee voluntarily quits or gets terminated COBRA helps them to extend their health insurance coverage generally for 18 months. If your business in California has between 2 and 19 employees you are covered by CAL-COBRA.
Cal-COBRA is a California Law that allows ex-employees to keep their group health plan when their employment ends or their hours are cut. It may also be available to people who have exhausted their Federal COBRA.
What Benefits are Covered under Federal COBRA and Cal-COBRA?
Cal-COBRA applies to employers and group health plans that cover from 2 to 19 employees.
For previous employees, here are their benefits under COBRA and CAL-COBRA:
Under COBRA, previous employees will have the same benefits as other employees in the same health plan. There are no restrictions because of pre-existing conditions.
If the group benefit includes specialized plans, such as dental or vision plans, they must be offered to previous employees under Federal COBRA. However, if a previous employee changes from Federal COBRA to Cal-COBRA, these specialized plans do not have to be offered.
Giving Notice for COBRA
Group health plans must give each employee and each spouse of an employee who becomes covered under the plan a general notice describing COBRA rights.
The general notice must be provided within the first 90 days of coverage. Group health plans can satisfy this requirement by including the general notice in the plan’s SPD and giving the SPD to the employee and to the spouse within this time limit.
Before a group health plan must offer continuation coverage, a qualifying event must occur. The group health plan is not required to act until it receives an appropriate notice of such a qualifying event.
The employer is required to notify the plan if the qualifying event is:
- Termination or reduction in hours of employment of the covered employee;
- Death of the covered employee; or
- Covered employee’s becoming entitled to Medicare.
The employer has 30 days after the event occurs to provide notice to the health plan.
After receiving a notice of a qualifying event, the plan must provide the qualified beneficiaries with an election notice, which describes their rights to continuation coverage and how to make an election.
The election notice must be provided to the qualified beneficiaries within 14 days after the plan administrator receives the notice of a qualifying event.
Assistance for Employers with COBRA
Ideally, it is better to work with a third party admin service that handles all the COBRA paperwork for your company.
There are many ways you can run into trouble legally handling your own COBRA paperwork, and we don’t recommend most businesses doing it this way.
If you have your group benefits plan with us here at Jackson and Jackson Insurance offer a free third-party administrative service to handle all your COBRA paperwork.
If you’d like more information on COBRA or have questions on any other insurance-related topic. please contact us, we’re here to help!

Now you can have the ultimate PRO boxing cobra reflex punching bag that is better than any commercial cobra bag on the market at just a fraction of the cost! The key ingredient is the Kewlus Spring. In this DIY we use the Kewlus PRO Spring (KSR12PRO), which is the fastest and able to handle the heaviest punches.
One of the main advantages of the Kewlus Spring boxing cobra bag is the ability to adjust the speed of the bag. Want to make it really, really fast? Just lower the spring on the mast and the action becomes lightning fast!
Note: make sure to leave at least 4 active coils so as not to damage the spring.
Check out this video for how to put it together and to see it in action:
Items You Will Need & Options:
- Kewlus PRO Spring (KSR12PRO) (US $49.95) - I designed and produced this spring specifically for the purpose, taking out all the guesswork. The PRO version is a heavier gage spring designed to be able to be used with a heavier bag if need be.
- Base pipe (mast) - couple of options - Option 1: You can either simply use a single galvanised 3/4 inch pipe roughly 42% of your height in length (if you're 6 foot tall, then your pipe should come up roughly 2'6" from the ground level). It will come up to about the middle of your thigh muscle. The outer diameter of the pipe is 1.05 inches or 26.7mm and fits perfectly into the Kewlus Spring. Option 2 - more sturdy: If you want a more sturdy platform, use a 2 foot section of 1 inch pipe at the base and a small section of 3/4 inch pipe to match your height. Going from 1 inch pipe to the 3/4 inch pipe you'll need a reducing coupling. If you want to make a height-adjustable mast, check out this video: https://youtu.be/odDCHwhqIec.
- Galvanised flange to fit the mast pipe, a set of nuts and bolts to fit the flange and an MDF board for your base - roughly 2 to 3 feel wide by 2 to 3 feet long and 3/4 inch thick - the wider, the better. I used four 40mm (1.5") long M8 (5/16 inch) bolts and nuts to bolt on the flange. See video for preview. For the most stable solution you could bolt the galvanised flange to a concrete slab or concrete floor like in your garage.
- Suction Cup Base (optional) - I use a suction cup base in all of my latest builds because it's small, rock solid and is easy to setup and put away. You can even set it up on carpet by simply using two laminated chip boards and have the suction cup base connecting the two. Refer to the following page for the instructions on how to make it: https://kewlus.com/blogs/diy/how-to-make-suction-cup-base.
- Roll of wide duct tape.
- PVC pipe - same outer diameter as the 3/4 inch galvanised pipe (1.05 inches or 26.7mm). Roughly 2 feet in length (or 61cm) - you can always cut it shorter later on if need be. If you're using a ball and funnel for the top, then you only need 16 inches.
- Two pool noodles. An alternative to using pool noodles is to make the bag using a rubber ball, a small funnel and the PVC pipe above (about 16 inches long) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1a9DLAYXhI.
- Set of butterfly hose clamps (1.3" - 1.7" diameter) - here is a set on Amazon USA: https://amzn.to/35jfkjI
Pool noodle option: Measure off and cut 20 inches of 3/4 inch PVC pipe that will form the arm of your punching bag. Cut a section of pool noodle to use as your punching bar base. I recommend about a foot. Slot it onto your PVC pipe until it goes all the way to the end. Take another section of pool noodle (roughly 18 inches) and split it lengthwise so you'll have two halves. Wrap these around the base section. Take a longer split section and wrap that around the base of the top ball. Finish by taping the whole shape from top to bottom until fully covered. It's best explained visually in the video above. This is your punching speed ball.
Rubber ball option: Follow this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1a9DLAYXhI.
Leather Speed Bag/Ball option: Follow this video: https://youtu.be/gr2xEBatf84. You can buy a suitable genuine leather speedball from the Kewlus store here: https://kewlus.com/products/genuine-leather-speed-bag-ball-small.
- Setup up your base by bolting the flange to the centre of your MDF board. The total length of your mast should reach roughly to the middle of your thigh muscle.
If you want to make a suction cup base, follow the instructions in this video: https://youtu.be/r3hcwWSrCVU
If you want to make a height-adjustable mast, check out this video: https://youtu.be/odDCHwhqIec.
- Insert the Kewlus Spring onto the galvanised pipe so that it overlaps the pipe by one inch. The top of the spring should come up to your hip. Secure it in place using one of the butterfly clamps - you'll need to fully open the clamp to insert it between the coils of the spring.
- Insert the PVC pipe with your speed ball into the top of the spring and secure it using another hose clamp. Important: make sure to leave at least 4 active spring coils (coils between the top of the mast and the bottom of the pipe that holds the ball/bag).

Clearer energy efficiency labelling a crucial step in enhancing consumer rights
A vote has taken place in the European Parliament’s Industry, Research and Energy committee in Brussels on Tuesday on clearer energy efficiency labelling for household appliances which aims to give consumers better access to product information.
MEPs had wanted the current grading system of proliferating pluses to be replaced by a simpler A-G tier. Right now, Grade A ranks only fourth in energy efficiency behind A+, A++ and A+++ and it is hoped that consumers will no longer mistake A for being top of the scale.
The proposals also aim to increase transparency for consumers when it comes to accessibility on product information as well as clearer information such as consumption in kWh on the label.
Although some of the original proposals were ultimately watered down to accommodate other Committee members, the report gained enough support and will now head to the upcoming plenary session for a vote on a mandate for commencing talks with the Council of Members.
Commenting on the vote, GUE/NGL MEP Neoklis Sylikiotis said the proposals are very important in protecting consumer rights and has long called for an immediate rescaling of the ranking system,
“It is crucial that we do everything we can to remove all the pluses from Grade A which have been very confusing for the consumers.”
”In GUE/NGL, we wanted the rescaling to be done as soon as possible and without any exception. Unfortunately, the majority of the political groups disagreed and instead favoured introducing the new labels within 5 years. In addition, some products would be exempt from these rules as well,” said the Cypriot MEP.
“In the end, we voted in favour of the report since most of the reforms that are being promoted enhance the rights of the consumers and energy efficiency.”
“Equally important is the creation of a database whereby consumers can find useful information about the products for free. We voted in favour of the report and also in favour of the mandate so that the rapporteur can participate in the trilogues as soon as possible. So all is not lost,” Sylikiotis concluded.

WASHINGTON—Fans of American football are busily gearing up for one of the most anticipated events on this year’s sports calendar: the 50th annual Super Bowl, this year pitting Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers against Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos.
As the capstone event of the National Football League season, this Sunday’s Super Bowl has already drawn huge numbers of fans to host city San Francisco and will likely be among the most watched TV events in the U.S. this year. But it’s also bringing in near-record numbers of security personnel from around the country to shield the stadium and surrounding areas from any possible terrorist attack.
“This is clearly one of the biggest security events this year,” says Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX). “It’s an event on the global stage, in the United States, and that makes it a high-profile target for a lot of terror groups.” As chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. McCaul keeps a tight watch on security threats in general, and those that surround specific events like the Super Bowl. Those threats can take nearly any form, he says, offering as an example multiple reports of fiber optic cables being severed in areas adjacent to the stadium.
“Maybe it’s vandalism, or maybe someone is looking at cutting power or communications during the game,” McCaul told VOA. “Either way, the FBI is already looking into that.”
The list of possible attack vectors a terrorist could use at a major event like the Super Bowl is lengthy, if a little chilling. Guns and bombs, to be sure, but what about the release of Anthrax spores in the stadium, or a drone spraying deadly Sarin gas?
Rep. McCaul says every possibility needs to be considered. “We just saw in Paris that terrorists are very interested in targeting major sporting events,” he said, referencing the November attacks outside the Stade de France during a soccer game.
The entrance to Levi’s Stadium is decorated with images of Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, left, and Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, Feb 2, 2016 in Santa Clara, Calif.
Terror threats, he says, are always evolving; the key to safeguarding the nation is keeping in front of those threats. To aid that effort, McCaul has authored a newly published book titled «Failures of Imagination: The Deadliest Threats to our Homeland — and How to Thwart Them.»
The title refers to the central conclusion of the U.S. 9/11 Commission which investigated the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001. The commission found «the most important failure [of the 9/11 attacks] was one of imagination.»
“I think the phrase itself is provocative, and there’s a reason why the 9/11 commission used it,” McCaul told VOA. “I believe we’re now in the highest threat environment since 9/11. And I think their advice is still relevant: that we need to imagine what could happen in order to prevent another attack.”
The book explores five possible scenarios that national security analysts warn the U.S. is largely unprepared for; each capable of overwhelming the nation. Among them are a bioterror attack at Walt Disney World, a massacre at the Mall of America, and a massive cyberattack targeting the nation’s power grid. It’s this scenario, said McCaul, that keeps him awake at night.
“Envision the power grid for the Northeast is shut down for more than a few days – that would take us back to primitive times,” McCaul said. In the book, the terrorists also used flash trades to crash the stock market – that would cause both economic chaos and physical chaos when you go dark.
“We’ve seen Russia demonstrate this in the past. They shut down Estonia, and now they’re doing some of the same tactics in Ukraine. We don’t want to see that same aggression pointed at the U.S.,” he said.
While tight security at large political events – like the recent U.N. Conference on Climate Change or this summer’s U.S. political conventions – has been a given for decades, increasingly it’s becoming a fact of life at numerous sporting events or music concerts as well. McCaul says he expects that will continue for some time to come.
Rep. McCaul says, whether at airports or power grids or events like the Super Bowl, terrorists are always looking for new ways to cause damage and create havoc.
“The threats always evolve,” he said. “It’s important that we always evolve and stay in front of the threat, and certainly cybersecurity is very much in that space.”

This project is great for beginners looking to learn something new, or experienced crocheters looking for a different way to approach making a shawl.
*This post contains affiliate links. By clicking one of these links and making a purchase a small portion of that purchase will go to support the blog. The price that you pay does not change. The small commission I make allows me to keep bringing you free patterns like this. Thank you for your continued support.*
About the Crochet Shawl Class:
Annie’s ask me to design a shawl for a skill building crochet-along on their website. I thought long and hard about how I could build your crochet skills along the way while making a unique and beautiful shawl. After some thinking the Chic Crochet Shawl was born.
If you don’t know what a crochet-along is let me tell you. A crochet-along is when a group of people all get together and work on the same project together. Everyone in your class will be working on the same project and you will be able to share what you are working on, your pain points, and your findings along the way.
This crochet shawl pattern features eight stitch patterns, five yarn colors and a fun edging technique to complete a 90-degree asymmetrical shawl. Throughout this class I will show you how to work each of the stitch patterns found in this shawl and how to account for gauge changes along the way. While taking the class you will also learn how to finish the shawl, block it, and even how to style it.
What you’ll learn:
- Anticipate gauge changes in the pattern
- Crochet the corner to corner stitch
- Work increases and decreases
- Change colors

A friend of mine has experienced deep pain and soul-crushing loss in wave after wave.
The last time we talked, she asked, “why is God doing this to me?”
I can understand her heart. I’ve been there. And her question isn’t a bad one. We can be completely honest with God. He knows our hearts and thoughts anyway. But after asking “Why is God doing this to me?” I encouraged her to ask: “What is God doing in me?”
God has a purpose for your pain. You may not be in a place to believe that right now, and that’s okay. But He truly, truly does. Keep praying. Keep asking. Keep searching. I promise, eventually God will either reveal His plan for your pain or give you the peace to keep waiting until He does.

I’ve to say that I am not guilty of letting my children spend too much time, sometimes, in front of screens, or letting them watch too much television. I know, though, that I need to monitor, and stop children playing games online too much.

Gov’t Administers 2.3 Million COVID-19 Vaccine Doses for Children Aged 6-11
A total of 2,324,644 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered for children aged 6-11, according to Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto.
“A total of 2,324,644 doses have been injected for children aged 6-11,” the Coordinating Minister said as quoted by the official website of the Coordinating Ministry on Monday (12/27).
Airlangga, who is also the coordinator for the implementation of activity restrictions policy (PPKM) outside the islands of Java and Bali, said that the vaccination rate in areas outside the islands of Java and Bali also increased and contributed 55.6 percent to the national daily average rate.
Based on data from Ministry of Health, as of December 27, 2021 at 12.00 western Indonesia Time, the coverage of the first dose vaccination reached 156.99 million doses or 75.38 percent of the target, while the second dose coverage reached 110.81 million doses or 53.21 percent of the target.
Regarding the implementation of booster shots, the Coordinating Minister said that the main targets were health workers, supporting staff working in health service facilities, the elderly, and subsidy recipients of the national health program.
“The implementation of the booster shots also depends on the upcoming ITAGI’s reports and recommendations on January 10, 2022,” he added.
In his statement, Airlangga also emphasized that during Christmas and New Year the Government will continue to evaluate all COVID-19 control policies, especially the implementation of the PPKM. The Government also continues to take various anticipatory measures, given the widespread transmission of the Omicron variant worldwide. (PR of Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs/UN) (RI/MMB)

Caleb Ganzer, wine director and co-owner of the popular New York City restaurant La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels, has been arrested and charged with arson for allegedly setting fire to garbage and to outdoor dining structures outside other restaurants in lower Manhattan in three separate incidents this year. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has charged Ganzer with two counts of arson, two counts of criminal mischief and three counts of reckless endangerment.
“Every act of arson has the potential to spread rapidly, endangering the lives of New Yorkers and [New York Fire Department] members,” said New York City Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro, in a statement. “Thankfully in these incidents there were no injuries and the suspect has been apprehended before another fire could be set.”
According to FDNY, Ganzer allegedly set fire to an outdoor dining structure owned by Forsythia Restaurant on Stanton Street on Jan. 8, 2021. On June 26, a pile of garbage was set ablaze in the early morning hours on a street corner just down the block from La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels. The latest fire occurred on July 13 at an outdoor dining structure owned by Prince Street Pizza.
FDNY released a surveillance camera video of the most recent incident. A slim man with dark shaggy hair approaches the shed from across the street, pulls out a lighter and sets a napkin dispenser on one corner of the structure ablaze. He crosses to the other side of the shed, lights another dispenser and then quickly walks away.
Ganzer is co-owner and managing director of La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels, which opened in New York’s Nolita neighborhood in 2014. The restaurant’s laidback vibe is backed by a serious wine program run by Ganzer, which boasts well over 1,000 wine selections with particular strengths in French wine regions. Ganzer previously worked as a sommelier at Grand Award winners Daniel and Eleven Madison Park before taking over the program at La Compagnie.
Fire officials did not indicate what motive Ganzer, 35, might have had for starting the fires. He could not be reached for comment.
In an email to Wine Spectator, a spokesperson for La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels said, “We as a company are aware of the incident, and Mr. Ganzer is on a leave of absence. If there are any other follow up questions at this point, we have no further comment.”

What Makes a Reader Keep Turning Pages?
We were talking last week about the storytelling concept of the Inciting Incident. We said that this week we’d get into the two “narrative poles” that spring into being the instant this scene is introduced.
What we’re talking about here is the architecture of a story.
Architecture is not the same as genius. It’s not the unique brilliance that you the writer bring to your dialogue. It’s not the one-of-a-kind twists and spins that you alone can insert into your narrative. It’s not the dazzling characters or relationships that you and only you can deliver.
It’s more important than that.
It’s the structure of the bridge you’re building.
It’s the foundation of the skyscraper.
It’s the design of the rocket ship.
What we’re talking about is the architectural superstructure onto which you the writer will hang all your scenes and sequences and characters and relationships.
Okay. How does the Inciting Incident fit into this concept of Story Architecture?
Have you watched any of Aaron Sorkin’s MasterClass on Screenwriting? (I highly recommend it.) Mr. Sorkin’s central storytelling concept is the idea of Intention and Obstacle.
The protagonist has an intention. Obstacles try to stop him or her from achieving this. What he/she does to overcome these obstacles is what produces drama.
(There, I just saved you ninety bucks.)
The Inciting Incident is the moment when the hero acquires his or her intention.
Jason Bourne realizes he is a very specific someone—a spy? a killer?—but he has lost all memory; he must find out who he is. Nine-year-old Addie Loggins in Paper Moon decides she wants to be with her Pa and she is convinced that Moses Pray is that person. Rocky decides he’s gonna fight the champ. Mark Watney decides he’s going to escape death on Mars.
These moments are Pole Number One of our story’s architecture.
Pole Number Two is the Object itself.
Between the two, immediately springing to life, is the Big Narrative Question, the issue that will keep the reader turning pages and hold him or her riveted to your story.
Will Jason Bourne find out who he is? How will he do it? Who, in fact, is he?
Will Addie Loggins find a home with her pa, Moses Pray?
Will Rocky stand up to the champ?
Will Mark Watney return safely to Earth?
The Inciting Incident sets up both poles:
- The moment when the hero acquires a burning, life-and-death intention.
- The yet-to-be-revealed success or failure of this intention.
Aaron Sorkin tells us that a story’s drama is created by the obstacles that the hero must overcome to reach his or her objective.
The desire to find out how he or she does this is what keeps us, the audience, glued to our seats.
It’s what keeps us, the readers, turning pages.
Will Shane succeed in hanging up his guns and settling down in the valley?
Will Jake Gittes find out who played him for a sucker with the phony Mrs. Mulwray?
Will gunfighter William Munny remain true to his dead wife’s wish for him to become a good man?
The inciting incident is Pole Number One of this story architecture. The instant it appears, it sets up Pole Number Two, which we the audience can feel, ahead at the story’s climax, and which electrifies us.
A great inciting incident gives us gooseflesh. We think to ourselves, “Wow, this story is cooking! I can’t wait to see how it turns out.”
A great incident sets up a Narrative Question that we the readers can’t resist.
A great inciting incident establishes an almost electromagnetic tension between the two poles, one at the start of the story (which we the readers now know) and one at the end, which is yet to be revealed.
We keep turning pages to get to that second pole.
Next week: the climax is embedded in the Inciting Incident.

eTeam BRIT commentator, Alex Goldschmidt gives a round up of this weekend's incredible debut performance of 'Racing with Autism International' in iRacing's 24 hours of Le Mans:
"The recent iRacing 24 Hours of Le Mans would attract the biggest grid in a single solitary sim racing event, as a total of 2,384 teams and over 8,000 drivers from across the globe hit the servers to compete at the famed Circuit de la Sarthe in a virtual setting.
The all-autistic driver line-up at Racing With Autism International would battle their way through a character-building 24-hour race in the BMW M8 GTE over the course of proceedings, which saw the drivers make the best of this learning experience as both drivers and team mates.
Having started 50th in their split, determination and the will to succeed helped them across the line after the time had expired on the clock to end up 23rd, with all four drivers setting their best lap times in the night.
Team BRIT’s Bobby Trundley and eTeam BRIT’s Sandro Ballesteros were joined by American NASCAR racer Armani Williams and Canadian Radical ace Austin Riley, along with Team Manager Max Spooner (who is also on the autistic spectrum) and Crew Chief Andy Tucker from Team BRIT. They made sure that they negotiated their way around the 38-turn, 13.626-km track, despite whatever was thrown at them.
Trundley would get the team up 11 places in the first lap alone, proving that it was going to be an interesting 24 hours for the stalwart M8 GTE, which would run up as high as 18th in the first half of the race. This would be before a series of incidents would see the team opt to pit at unscheduled times in the race and repair the damage on their car to keep themselves in the running to the end.
All the way through the race, eTeam BRIT had also set up a livestream via their official Twitch channel, giving the general public the chance to hear the great camaraderie of everyone working together, helping each other out and becoming good friends.
The team also decided to run with a message on their livery for the inspirational Alex Zanardi, who has been a trendsetter in what can be achieved through the mind and spirit, as we wish him all the very best in his recovery. The M8 would be adorned with the Italian flag, the three agitos of the Paralympic Symbol and the words “Pregando per Zanardi:” ‘Praying for Zanardi.”
The work now begins towards the next adventure for Racing With Autism International – stay tuned for future developments as they happen!"

Multi-entity property management company E&J Estates, migrate from Sage to AccountsIQ in just two months.
Finding the right accounting software for a mid-market, multi-entity business, like E&J Estates, wasn’t easy. They knew they didn’t need an ERP, which would be too complex for their needs, so E&J Estates’ Financial Controller, Joanne Brown, started looking at accounting software that would enable them to consolidate their 20 entities easily and improve their intercompany management. Their existing system, Sage Financials, would soon be discontinued so they needed to be sure the onboarding process would be quick and painless. Although most of E&J Estates’ accounting needs are relatively straightforward, the complexity arises from their multi-entity accounting and consolidation requirements, which were time consuming.

Joanne knew they didn’t need an ERP, such as Oracle or NetSuite. “They’re too complex for our needs,” she says. “I’d have to set up functionality we’d never use, and it would be cumbersome to make necessary tweaks to the system in the future. What we like about AccountsIQ is that you only need to set up the modules you wish to use and when we need to make changes, such as setting up a new accounting code, it’s really easy.”
Joanne also reviewed simple accounting solutions, such as Sage 200, Xero and Access Financials but found they didn’t have enough functionality. “We’d have had to do all our consolidation manually,” she says.
I liked the look of the AccountsIQ system instantly. It’s logical, practical and user-friendly and it gives us everything we need at a reasonable price.”
“A proper accounting system” that’s quick, efficient and paperless
Joanne’s team has found everything, from multiple invoices to auto journal reversals, quick and easy to process with AccountsIQ. “That’s important,” she says. “As a finance team, we don’t want to spend time processing data. Now, we can spend time reviewing, reporting and analysing our data to benefit the business.
“AccountsIQ is rules-based,” continues Joanne. “It’s what I call a ‘proper accounting system’. We have four system users, so it’s important to have robust controls in place.”
E&J Estates has also had positive feedback from their auditors. “We’ve given them read-only access,” explains Joanne.
In previous years, we produced accounts for our auditors around four months after year-end. This year, with AccountsIQ, we did it in just six weeks and next year our target is to get it done in a month.”
Data which can be trusted
For E&J Estates, one of the main benefits of AccountsIQ is that their inter-company accounting is so much easier. “You can look at the consolidated accounts and see that it all zeros out,” says Joanne. “You know you haven’t missed anything and everyone in the company recognises that we have data we can trust.
“With AccountsIQ, you can only ever enter the transactions that should be in there. That means there are no mismatches or incorrect journals. It’s a big plus to us to have that level of data integrity; we can have complete confidence in the numbers we’re pulling from the system.”
The reporting functions also give complete, real-time clarity on the company’s financial position and helps E&J Estates to make more informed decisions about managing their business. AccountsIQ was even able to customise some of the reporting functions to meet E&J Estates’ specific needs.
“AccountsIQ helped us develop a report for the percentage reporting we have to do as a property company to handle irrecoverable VAT,” explains Joanne. “They also helped with Group VAT reporting and Making Tax Digital (MTD). It all works really well and it’s definitely a relief to be able to have complete confidence in our VAT returns.”
Migration from Sage to AccountsIQ in just 2 months
Because Joanne and her team could focus on just setting up the elements of the AccountsIQ system they really needed, they managed to get everything live in just two months. That included testing, training and uploading data, such as trial balances and current year transactions. “We didn’t have to waste time setting up elements we didn’t need, such as stock control,” says Joanne. “We don’t have massive transaction volumes, but it was important for us to have all transactions for the accounting year in one system; that was a big win for us.”
Smooth and painless implementation process
E&J Estates found the implementation process straightforward and seamless. “Our AccountsIQ Implementation Consultant, Desi, was fantastic,” says Joanne. “She’s knowledgeable, supportive and patient and that gave us confidence. We got to trial and test the system and we had full training. Even after we’d gone live, whenever we had questions, we got a quick response. The great thing about AccountsIQ is you can phone and speak to a real person. It’s never just an email saying ‘go and look at these documents’. They have a personal touch, and you feel they’re genuinely there for you and on your side.”

Donâ??t Dial Cell for Safety A new report by a group of British scientists casts more doubt on the safety of cell phones. The 11-month study warns of the potential harms to younger cell phone users in particular.
Don’t Dial Cell for Safety
A new report by a group of British scientists casts more doubt on the safety of cell phones. The 11-month study warns of the potential harms to younger cell phone users in particular. Because their bodies are still developing, they are considered more at risk to possible "biological effects." Exposure to radiation may come from either individual handheld or hands-free units or base stations.
Britain’s National Radiological Protection Board first established guidelines on acceptable levels of radiation back in 1993, when cell phone technology was still in its infancy. Now, critics fear that the explosion of cellular use is moving too fast to ensure adequate safety measures. Over last year’s Christmas shopping season alone, about four million cell phones were sold in Britain, bringing the total number of mobiles in the country to more than 25 million. Here in Canada, there are about seven million cell phones in use.
Among its recommendations, the parliament-commissioned report calls for:
Milt Bowling of the Burnaby-based EMRadiation Task Force applauds the study’s cautious approach. "This report represents the first truly independent research project not affected by vested interests," says Bowling.
The full report is available online at iegmp.org.uk/IEGMPsum.htm. Milt Bowling can be reached at (604) 436-2152 or e-mail: [email protected].
Animal Farm Angst
Livestock factories commonly treat pigs, cattle and chicken with antibiotics to prevent animal disease and promote growth. About half of the antibiotics produced in the US are used in the raising of animals for human consumption.
The result of such overuse is a growing human health hazard: antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can cause deadly diseases. In May of 1999, a report by the Minnesota Health Department found that human infections by antibiotic-resistant germs increased almost eightfold between 1992 and 1997.
The Institute of Medicine, a division of the National Academy of Sciences, first reported this problem back in 1989.
Just 10 years later, in 1999, the US Food and Drug Administration announced its plan to start regulating the use of antibiotics in livestock factories. One can only speculate whether their tardy attempt to create guidelines came in response to a 1998 New England Journal of Medicine study which noted that a strain of salmonella bacteria had emerged that was resistant to five different antibiotics!
--Rachel’s Environment & Health Weekly, March 9, 2000
US toxic pollution is three times worse than originally thought, according to the Environmental Protection Agency annual toxic inventory report. At the top of the polluters list stand the US mining and electric utility industries, who dumped a combined 4.6 billion pounds of toxic materials into the environment in 1998. Despite this astounding figure, the Edison Electric Institute, representing the nation’s shareholder-owned utilities, is quick to defend their interests by stating these chemicals are not a health hazard.
--Reuters Online, May 11, 2000
Labelling a Money Issue
During a seven-hour House of Commons debate last May, the federal government reiterated that the voluntary labelling of GE foods is better than a mandatory plan. The estimated cost of the mandatory labelling of GE foods would be $3 billion in the first year and $1.5 billion each year thereafter. This figure, quoted by BC MP Reed Elley, is not justification enough for denying shoppers the right to informed choice, especially when the majority of environmental and citizen groups call for full disclosure of GE ingredients. Maybe the billion-dollar price tag would be worth it if it restored some faith in Canada’s food safety system.
--The Western Producer, May 11, 2000
The House of Commons environmental committee recommended a ban in May on "cosmetic" use of pesticides for lawn and garden care. The committee’s five-year ban plan does not include chemical farm pesticides, but does propose tax incentives for organic farmers. It is their hope that this revision to the Pest Control Products Act will reduce needless exposure to harmful weed killers and insecticides. Accumulating evidence tells us children are especially vulnerable to pesticides, yet Canada’s pesticide law is 31 years old.
--The Vancouver Sun, May 17, 2000

College football is back, and on Monday night two programs with proud histories will go head-to-head when the BYU Cougars visit the Navy Midshipmen. The two schools swapped roles in recent years, with BYU going from the Mountain West to an independent, while Navy went from an independent to joining the AAC. Both programs have claimed a national championship, but the Midshipmen have had more success lately after Ken Niumatalolo led the program to an 11-2 record and a No. 20 in the final AP Poll last season.
The game kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on Monday night at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland. It's the third time these two programs have met head-to-head and Navy is favored by one on the road, with the total listed at 49.5 in the latest Week 1 college football odds from William Hill. Before locking in any Week 1 college football picks, be sure to see the college football predictions from the advanced computer model at SportsLine.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past four years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of over $3,500 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also went a sizzling 8-2 on all picks against the spread during Championship Week last season. Anybody who has followed it is way up.
Top Week 1 college football predictions
One of the top Week 1 college football picks the model is recommending: The Under hits in Navy vs. BYU. This is the first meeting between these two programs since 1989, when Ty Detmer was just a sophomore for the Cougars. This year, it will be Zach Wilson at the helm for BYU.
Wilson took a step back from his first year as a starter to his second, with a 157.2 QB rating in 2018 to just a 130.8 mark last season. His completion rate dropped from 65.9 percent to 62.8. He'll be matched up against a Navy secondary that returns all four starters from 2019 after allowing just a 56.8 percent completion rate.
Meanwhile, Navy replaces starting quarterback Malcolm Perry, who rushed for 2,107 yards and 21 touchdowns while also throwing for 1,084 yards and seven scores. The Navy triple-option will undoubtedly suffer a dropoff without Perry, while limited contact in training camp doesn't bode well for Navy's extremely nuanced and physical offensive system.
How to make Week 1 college football picks
The model also has made the call on every FBS matchup in Week 1 and beyond, including locking in a spread pick for BYU vs. Navy that hits more than 50 percent of the time. You can get picks for that game and every other over at SportsLine.
So what college football picks can you make with confidence in Week 1? And who wins BYU vs. Navy? Check out the latest Week 1 college football odds below, and then visit SportsLine to see which teams win and cover the spread, all from a proven computer model that has returned over $3,500 in profit over the past four seasons, and find out.

A plan limiting the number of students who are allowed to enter three-year law school programs (professional graduate schools for law), which is scheduled to be introduced in 2008, will set the number of students at 150 per law school. Co-law schools set up by over two universities will not be permitted.
The Presidential Committee on Judicial Reform (co-chaired by Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan and lawyer Han Seung-hun) (PCJR) stated on May 17 that it held a general meeting yesterday to decide on a bill on law school establishment and management, including the above, and that it would submit the bill to the National Assembly soon.
Although the PCJR did not decide on the total number of students entering law schools separately, since most of the commissioners of the PCJR have agreed to base the intake quota of law schools (at an early stage of the law school system) on the total number of people who passed the then national bar exam, total enrollment is highly likely to be around 1,200. The current national bar exam will be abolished in 2013.
The PCJR also decided on a measure that instead of extending the range of cases currently allowed applying for the procedure in which an accuser directly requests a judgment from a court in case the prosecution rejects a case by the accuser, those cases (encompassing all kinds of crimes) must undergo an appeal from the prosecution.
The Nationwide Law Colleges Deans Association (chairman: Lee Young-jun, dean of the law department at Kyunghee University) and the Nationwide Professors Association for the Reform of Law Education (chairman: Lee Seung-ho, dean of the law department at Konkuk University) issued a statement on the same day, however, saying, We oppose the PCJRs bill on the introduction of law schools since it was planned as a way just to maintain the Bars vested rights.
They insisted, Since the bill drawn up by the PCJR has been made unilaterally by some legal experts without gathering public opinion, it is a rough-and-ready bill that has serious defects in its procedures, as well as grave legal errors in its content.
In the meantime, regarding the revision of the Criminal Procedure Code that has stirred up a strong backlash from the prosecution, the PCJR is planning to decide on it at a general conference to be held in July after passing it at a working-level meeting to be held in June.

When a legal dispute arises on a construction project, contractors should take immediate, proactive steps to help resolve the claim. Key factors include balancing parties' knowledge of the incident, controlling the claims process and managing associated costs.
Traditionally, construction professionals have relied on a combination of dispute-resolution strategies, including direct negotiations between company executives, mediation or a customized neutral process, arbitration and litigation. But skilled negotiators have recognized that whichever process is chosen, to be successful, it must be designed and managed on a case-by-case basis to meet parties' needs.
It goes without saying that all dispute-resolution strategies change as control over the process is passed from the project team to the legal team and then again to the trier of fact— arbitrator, judge or jury. With each passing of the baton, the costs increase. The commitment of internal company resources and the involvement of outside legal expertise deepens as an unavoidable consequence of protracted dispute resolutions.
In all likelihood, the project team will have a strong working knowledge (albeit one-sided) of the circumstances causing the dispute. When attorneys get involved, the knowledge level automatically dips well below that of the project team, whose collective recollection of the facts declines over time as employees move on to other projects. Meanwhile, the attorneys need to build their knowledge base by reviewing paper and electronic project and accounting records and interviewing or deposing expert and factual witnesses.
The knowledge level of experienced construction attorneys ultimately will surpass that of the project-team members through analysis of more complete information provided by other participants. The inability to resolve a disputed claim with the wealth of information available at that point in time then moves the case to a trier of fact. The court often has a short attention span and offers the least specialized knowledge and experience available to resolve the dispute than any other participant in the process.
How can these competing factors—knowledge, control and cost—be balanced? If construction professionals can design, sequence, schedule and estimate the cost of complex construction projects, then, with help from experienced legal counsel, they should be able to do the same with dispute resolution. In fact, a creatively designed and well-managed claim process involving fully engaged dispute-resolution teams will help control risk and improve return on investment through a successful resolution.
When faced with a claim, construction professionals should consider these proactive steps:
• Immediately develop an objective summary of the factual and legal issues that created the dispute.
• Identify all critical records and information that parties can exchange or obtain voluntarily from other project participants to understand each other's key claims and defenses.
• Establish reasonable goals and negotiating milestones for a prompt and cost-effective result.
• Identify and address all reasonably foreseeable obstacles to reach the negotiating milestones.
• Engage resources (opposing party's senior executives, consultants, attorneys, mediators and/or arbitrators) as soon as possible to help the resolution.
• Determine a sequence and schedule for reaching negotiating milestones and a resolution.
• Estimate reasonable costs for each negotiating milestone, then budget for those costs as they emerge.
• Refine the negotiating strategy as the process evolves.
• Listen carefully to and seriously consider recommendations from experienced, well-informed neutrals (i.e., mediators) and keep an open mind about the appropriate result, regardless of benefits that might be obtained by other parties in the dispute.
Using these basic management tools and skills—the need for which may vary depending upon complexity and opposition tactics—should help guide the dispute-resolution team to a successful outcome.
Gene Commander is a construction attorney, arbitrator, mediator and managing shareholder in the Denver office of Polsinelli.

A petition calling for the speed limit of a Burbage road to be cut has been presented to the Leicestershire County Council Highway Forum for Hinckley and Bosworth.
Residents who live on and near to Sapcote Road are hoping for the current 40mph limit to be reduced to 30mph following a series of accidents that have taken place there. The stretch of road causing concern lies between Aston Lane and approximately 45 Sapcote Road where the higher limit is currently in place.
More than 200 people have signed the petition and over 90% of properties on Sapcote Road are backing the move.
Issues over the entrance and exit from Winchester Drive are highlighted along with concerns that some residents are having difficulty entering and exiting their drives safely.
David Hutchinson is among those campaigning for the change. He said: “The authorities should note that there are a substantial number of families with children on this stretch of road and if action is not taken there there may well be a serious accident. It should be noted that the authorities have a duty of care to both road users and residents.”

Last month I answered this question by creating a mini lesson to have your students engage in a brainstorming and planning session.
Now that you have some ideas, let’s practice our cinematography. Using our cameras to shoot video is a process and takes a lot of practice. In my opinion, the only way to truly become polished at this craft, is to practice. You simply cannot practice enough! The more you shoot, the better you will be.
So let’s move on to our second mini lesson in this series, and get to shooting tips part one – BRoll.
Students will practice a variety of shots by following the mantra “WIDE – MEDIUM – TIGHT. ” Students will then put those skills to use in a very practical and simple way.
Begin by having the students watch the following three videos.
SRL Tutorial Video: Episode 8 (B-roll)
Video 101: Shooting Good B-Roll
Shooting with the Rule of Thirds
You may find some repetitive information, but what I like about all of these videos, is that students will glean a variety of perspectives and opinions (look at all the spellings for BRoll) on what is important when shooting video.
Now it’s time for your students to go out and practice on their own.
1. Using whatever camera recording device you have, select any subject or person, and record 10 seconds each for all three camera shots, practicing WIDE, MEDIUM and TIGHT distances. Go out in the hall, in the quad, in the room, down to the main office…it doesn’t matter. But try not just to record inanimate objects. Find something that moves or has some action.
- Motion = emotion!
- Make sure to record each shot for at least 10 seconds. This is a great habit to have your students obtain. How often do they record a good shot, but they moved the camera or stopped recording too quickly. I would guess often. So, practice, practice, practice.
2. Once your students have captured their footage, you can always have them go out and find a new subject and repeat the same recording process of WIDE, MEDIUM and TIGHT distances.
3. You could also have your students take these skills and go on a video scavenger hunt.
4. After your students have captured their shots and had a chance to review them for accuracy, SAVE this footage for a later mini lesson on editing. Store it to an external hard drive or a folder on their computer.
5. Finally, have them create a Google Doc to write down their reflections and lessons learned. Or better yet, have them blog about it on their online student portfolio.
This is a task that can be done during any class period, at any time. I often have my students do this lesson when their shoot or event won’t occur for a few days. If they are able to go to the location of their actual shoot and practice these shots prior to their actual event, this is even better! They can do a location survey for natural sounds, light, and find the best locations to set up their camera. Talk about great preparation!
Future video mini-lessons
Be in the lookout for mini-lessons on capturing natural sound, planning for light, microphone techniques, practicing interviews, and editing footage.

Regulatory framework of the ENGIE Group’s Mediation team
The ENGIE Group’s Mediation team is governed by several legal and regulatory texts and particularly by the French Consumer Code. Within that framework it applies the rules provided for in this respect.
Within the French Consumer Code, the articles that describe the rules to be respected by the mediators follow on from an order signed on 20 August 2015 and published in the Journal Officiel. Mediators who comply with these rules are referred to as “consumption mediators” when they have received “accreditation” from the CECMC (Consumer Mediation Assessment and Control Commission), which is the case of the ENGIE Group’s Mediator.
European Dispute Resolution Platform
The ADR Directive stipulates that the European Commission, besides the list of accredited mediators, should make the following available to consumers:
The Secretary of State in charge of Commerce, Trades, Consumer Affairs and Social and Concerted Economy also put a platform for consumers online on 17 February 2016.
It gives them free access to the information they need to exercise their right to mediation. It also features the list of approved consumption mediators in France, by industry segment. It is accessible via this link.
As a consumption mediator in the field of energy, the ENGIE Mediator complies with the criteria of the order of 21 August 2015:
- recourse to the Mediator is free for the complainant: the Mediator does not charge for his handling of the dispute,
- he respects strict confidentiality in the handling of disputes and in the conclusions that he offers to resolve them,
- he carries out his mission with diligence and expertise, in a fully independent and impartial manner, as part of a procedure which is transparent, effective and fair.
He is thus listed on this platform.

Dili, Thursday 17 November 2011 – Hon Ingrid Fiskaa, Deputy Minister for International Development, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway made a courtesy call yesterday to H.E. Emilia Pires, Minister of Finance of the Government of Timor-Leste. Deputy Minister Fiskaa was accompanied by H.E. Eivind Homme, Norwegian Ambassador to Jakarta; Ms. Marianne Damhaug, Minister Counselor, Embassy of Norway in Jakarta; Mr. Hanne Brusletto, Director, Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Mr. Mette Kottmann, Senior Advisor, Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and, Mr. Odd Raustein, Project Coordinator.
The courtesy call was also attended by H.E. Jose Luis Guterres, Vice Prime Minister of the Government of Timor-Leste, H.E. Joao Cancio Freitas, Minister of Education, H.E. Joao Goncalves, Minister of Economy and Development, Hon. Rui Manuel Hanjam, Vice Minister of Finance, and Hon. Alfredo Pires, Secretary of State for Natural Resources.
The courtesy call was immediately followed by a lunch hosted by the Minister of Finance.
Over lunch, the issue of the continuation of Norwegian support to Timor-Leste was discussed, including the upcoming 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness to be held in Busan, South Korea at the end of this month and the invitation of NORAD for the Minister of Finance to address its annual Conference on ‘Aid and Conflict’ which will take place in Oslo, Norway on 12 December 2011.
The work currently being done by the g7+ and the importance of having the fragile states come together as one group was also touched during the lunch-meeting. MoF emphasized the need for donors’ support to be aligned with priorities of the fragile states. The Timor-Leste officials reiterated the need to make donors understand each country’s system and have better coordination among donors in giving the Aid.
Timor-Leste also shared the current thrust of the Government to promote full transparency in its systems and operation. They cited the use of the Budget Transparency portal and how this is contributing to the ongoing budget discussions.
Some programmatic issues were also discussed during the meeting including MoF’s request to Norway to support the existing adviser posted at the taxation Directorate. On the environment side, the Minister of Economy and Development stated that it still lacked the desired human resources in this field, and requested the Norwegian Government to continue their support in this area. On a similar note, the Minister of Education shared the MoU agreement forged with the Norwegian Government to send Timor-Leste students to study in Norway for their Masteral and/or PhD degrees.
The Government of Norway has supported Timor-Leste in the areas of Natural Resources, Finance and Environment. In responding to the expressed needs of Timor-Leste, Deputy Minister Fiskaa informed that Norway recently reformed their government, and therefore, they will need to do further discussions on the continuation of the assistance to Timor-Leste. Wit regards the g7+ Forum, the Government of Norway thinks that the g7+ is an interesting concept. She informed the Minister of Finance that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway will take part in the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, South Korea and expressed its support to the g7+ initiative in the future.

(Ed. note: This is the second of a two-part column. The first part ran in the Nov. 14, 2013 edition of the Gazette)
Touring the multi-level, artistically fenced, forest garden at Earth Embassy was one of the delights of last summer’s Yukusam journey.
Forest gardening is enjoying a revival in the temperate world, often under the monikers of edible forest, food forest, agroforestry, or permaculture.
As with the Yukusam cedar groves, edible forest gardening was practised in North America for centuries.
Yet little is widely known about its long history, partly because arriving European settlers did not or could not see existing forest gardens as agriculture.
Eventually the practice largely disappeared on this continent, though it remained commonplace in the tropics.
The term “forest garden” comes from using the forest as a metaphor and model; most forest gardens are not a forest at all. They are backyards, front yards, small holdings and farms predominantly planted in perennials.
Here we might grow sour cherries, saskatoons and hazelnut trees as the canopy or overstory, shade-tolerant huckleberries and herbs as an understory, shiitake mushrooms, salal, wasabi and forest strawberries as a ground cover or layer.
Vines may be vertically intertwined amongst the over and under stories, with annual vegetables — tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce — gracing the sunny forest edge or clearing.
Goals of forest gardening include producing an abundant diversity of tasty, nutritious food and other useful products in a stable, resilient garden ecosystem, driven by solar energy. A garden that largely maintains and renews itself, bouncing back in yield and ecosystem functioning if it’s stressed, just as the forest strives to bounce back after it is cleared, logged or bulldozed.
The resulting landscape is imbued with beauty, elegance and spirit. Forest gardens are most appropriate in regions like ours, where forests grow naturally.
Elsewhere these edible woodlands are created by converting farms and yards back to a forest-like habitat.
We can do that here, but it may also be to our advantage that we are still surrounded by regenerated natural woodland (realizing that it is not the original condition of the land).
From this we can add, subtract, and re-arrange plants and fungi, all the while adapting based on observation and study.
Decimating populations of native pollinators, worms, and other beneficial insects is not necessary. (90 per cent of insects are beneficial insects, from a human point of view.)
This type of cultivation is economically appealing as it requires few if any inputs that cannot be obtained locally.
Reliance on fossil fuel based products is avoided. Yes, fertilizers, pesticides, greenhouses, plastic mulches, row covers, high and low polytunnels are fossil fuel based.
Students play a game Grassroots Learning Centre called “Who works at the garden?”
Worms improve the soil, garter snakes eat slugs, insects pollinate plants.
Nature works even harder in an established forest garden: ground covers and canopies lessen nutrient leaching; alders, comfrey and bracken ferns enrich the soil; roots and fungi link the plants in a mutual underground support network. Humans work less.
How productive can these gardens be? The answer is just emerging.
In North America farms have been converted to profitable “forests”, individuals have created self-sufficient small holdings, and a number of commercial projects are well underway in British Columbia.
A regional answer will depend on the creation of more private and public spaces as beautiful, diverse and productive as the one we visited on Yukusam.

US State Department officials said that the recent designation of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was designed to reduce the risk to lives of American soldiers or citizens by Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani in the future.
“General Soleimani has the blood of Americans on his hands, as does the force that he leads, and this designation that we took yesterday is another step to reduce the risk that any American soldier or any American will be killed by General Soleimani and the racket that he runs with the IRGC and the Quds Force,” Brian Hook, US Special Representative for Iran, told NORWAY NEWS during a telephonic press briefing along with the State Department’s counterterrorism coordinator, Nathan Sales.
US President Donald Trump designated Iran’s IRGC forces as a foreign terrorist organization on Monday. The designation comes into effect from April 15.
Comprising an estimated 125,000-strong military with army, navy and air units, the IRGC also command the Basij, a religious volunteer paramilitary group. It also oversees the Quds forces, commanded by Soleimani, who have fought Iran’s proxy wars in the region.
Hook referenced to recently declassified documents which said that Iran was responsible for killing over 600 US service members in Iraq from 2003 until 2011.
The US has in the past blacklisted dozens of entities and people for affiliations with the IRGC, but not the organization as a whole. In 2007, the US Treasury designated the IRGC’s Quds Force “for its support of terrorism,” and has described it as Iran’s “primary arm for executing its policy of supporting terrorist and insurgent groups.”
Asked on whether the US decision to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization would increase the chances of a military conflict with Iran, Hook dismissed the concerns while adding that the sanctions’ primary focus was aimed at “driving up the costs of Tehran’s expansionist foreign policy.”
“There is no better path to support the Iranian people than to pressure the regime from outside and to drive up the costs of its internal repression and external terrorism,” Hook said.
Sales, the State Department’s counterterrorism coordinator, added that US sanctions have had immediate effects.
“Hezbollah used to receive $700 million a year to commit its terrorism from the Iranian regime. They’re now doing a fund-raising drive. That tells you something about the effects that our designations and sanctions tools have had,” Sales said.
Below is a full rush transcript of the press conference by Brian H. Hook, U.S. Special Representative for Iran also Senior Policy Advisor to Secretary of State and Ambassador at Large Nathan Sales, Coordinator for Counterterrorism
Mr.Brian Hook who is the Special Representative for Iran and Senior Policy Advisor to the U.S. Secretary of State and Ambassador at Large Nathan Sales, Coordinator for Counterterrorism at the Department of State.
Media: How would the U.S. designation of the IRGC affects its threat to its neighbors and its intervention in Syria, Yemen and Iraq? How would the U.S. designation as a terrorist group affect its threats to Gulf countries?
Ambassador Sales: There’s no question that Iran acting through its IRGC is a threat to those countries in the region. That’s one of the principal reasons why the Secretary has decided to designate the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization. Doing so enables us to more aggressively cut off the flow of money into the IRGC’s coffers. Money that the IRGC would use to fund militias and terrorists in the region and around the world to cause violence and foment instability.
With yesterday’s announcement, we are taking a step to deprive the IRGC of the tools that it uses to pursue its malign agenda in the region.
SR Hook: I would say that, you asked about the Gulf countries, I think for our Sunni Arab partners in the region, this is a welcome designation because it will make it harder for the Iranian regime to execute its expansionist foreign policy. Just a week and a half ago in the New York Times, there was an article about how Iran’s proxies are under financial strain because of a combination of Iran mismanaging its economy and U.S. sanctions. And this action is another layer, the designation of the IRGC and the Quds Force as an FTO, that adds an additional layer of sanctions and it puts a lot of companies around the world on sort of heightened notice that doing business with the IRGC and providing material support to them has liability, both criminal liability, immigration consequences, and that we think that those measures are going to create powerful disincentives for individuals and companies around the world to avoid the IRGC.
That then has very positive consequences for our foreign policy because it just makes it harder for the IRGC to execute on its mission set. So this will be, we think this will be of help not only to America’s national security objectives, but it will also help our partners in the region.
Media: Why did you decide to designate the IRGC including its Quds Force as a foreign terrorist organization yesterday? Did these organizations change something over the last month?
Ambassador Sales: Well, it’s the next step in our pressure campaign. This administration has used terrorism and other sanctions for the past two and a half years to drive up the cost to Iran of its bid for regional power and its use of terrorism as a tool of statecraft around the world.
What happened yesterday was just the next logical step in our increasingly robust sanctions measures that we’re imposing on this regime to get it to stop its malign and outlaw behavior.
Media: Will this designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization be similar in the U.S.’ previous approach to its designation of like al-Qaida and ISIS? How proactive will this decision be in terms of then targeting Qasem Soleimani, I mean the way Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi or Bin Laden were in the past perhaps? Is there any mechanisms within this designation that will apply to Soleimani in that way?
Ambassador Sales: Well this designation is all about financial impact, law enforcement impact, and immigration impact. What this designation allows us to do is increase the financial pressure on the IRGC and deprive it of resources. It enables our prosecutors to more effectively bring terrorism related cases against the IRGC supporters and enablers. It is now a federal criminal offense for any person to knowingly provide material support or resources to the IRGC. And third, there are immigration consequences to this designation. People who provide material support or resources to the IRGC will no longer be admissible to the United States. We’ll be able to keep them out of our country, stop them from coming here to raise money for the IRGC or to commit other malign acts while here in the United States.
SR Hook: We recently declassified numbers, about the number of American soldiers, it was 608 American soldiers who were killed by the Iranian regime and the IRGC during the Iraq War. General Soleimani has the blood of Americans on his hands, as does the force that he leads, and this designation that we took yesterday is another step to reduce the risk that any American soldier or any American will be killed by General Soleimani and the racket that he runs with the IRGC and the Quds Force.
Media: Could you clarify what consequences could foreign companies now face for having business with the IRGC?
Ambassador Sales: The Secretary of State yesterday was pretty clear about this. It’s now a lot riskier to do business with Iran. We know that the IRGC has permeated all aspects of the Iranian economy. It operates front companies around the world. It’s now a federal crime to provide material support to the IRGC. So any company that is considering doing business with Iran should take very seriously the risk that in so doing it will be providing material support to the IRGC and potentially incurring federal criminal liability.
The point of this designation, the effect of this designation is to render radioactive the IRGC and send a message to the rest of the world that doing business with Iran is harmful to your company’s financial health.
Media: How will the designation of the IRGC affect the relations between American authorities and American officials who will visit Lebanon, and the Lebanese government? Could American officials meet with the Lebanese government?
SR Hook: Congress, the statute, the FTS statute allows us to take the necessary designations that we need to to protect America’s national security interests while at the same time not impeding our diplomacy. We have now, I think since 1997, done almost 70 foreign terrorist organization designations, and that has had a range of organizations. At no point over these last many decades across many different administrations has this impeded our diplomacy. And we expect in the same way here, it will not impede any of our diplomatic efforts anywhere in the world.
But we do think that, I think you may have seen this just a few weeks ago, maybe it was almost a month ago, the leader of Lebanese Hezbollah for the first time in its history made a public appeal for donations, and that is a good thing, we think, for the people of Lebanon. We don’t think it’s in the interest of the Lebanese people to have this paramilitary organization that puts at risk the lives of the Lebanese people, prioritizes ideology over the welfare of innocent Lebanese people. And so we will continue to, Secretary Pompeo was recently in Lebanon, had very good meetings, gave an important speech there which I would refer you to that lays out our approach to Lebanon very clearly.
Media: Iranian officials have been mostly focused on threatening the U.S. military forces. Don’t you think this strategy, this designation, would increase any possibility of a military conflict?
SR Hook: No, we don’t believe that. When you look at the history of the regime, it has been chanting Death to America since its inception. They have, the IRGC is a terrorist organization. The IRGC, as I said earlier, has already killed over 600 American soldiers in Iraq alone. That doesn’t include Lebanon and other countries.
We are not going to have peace or stability or security in the Middle East without weakening the Revolutionary Guards, and that’s what our sanctions yesterday are designed to do.
We think that by stigmatizing the IRGC, exposing its operations for what they are, it has all the attributes of a terrorist organization. We think that this kind of approach and increased pressure will do more to save American lives and to make the middle East more peaceful and stable than essentially being extorted or blackmailed by Iran.
They have a long history of threats. They regularly threaten to close the Strait of Hormuz, they threaten and execute terrorism in Europe, Argentina, Asia, the Middle East. This is what they do for a living. It is identical to a deeply corrupt Mafia. If we were to guide our foreign policy on the basis of Iran’s threats of retaliation we would be playing by their rules, and that is a mistake I think many countries fall into. They fear taking action against Iran, the regime, because they fear Iran escalating. When you fall into that pattern you are playing by their rules, and when you play under the house rules, the house always wins.
We are, in this administration over the last two years have taken an entirely different approach to Iran. We are imposing historic levels of economic pressure on this regime to drive up the costs of their expansionist foreign policy, their violent foreign policy around the region. And we think that this approach is the best approach to both protect American soldiers, to protect Americans, to protect our partners in the region.
Media: What do you expect Europe or the European Union to do now after all the EU sticks to the Iran deal still?
SR Hook: On Europe, since the time we’ve gotten out of the deal, we have seen Europe take a number of steps to counter the range of non-nuclear threats that Iran presents to peace and security. So I think that we agree on more than we disagree with the Europeans. We obviously disagree about the Iran Nuclear Deal, but whenever we’re in a room with our European allies and we talk about Iran’s threats, the missile testing, ballistic missile testing, missile proliferation, the terrorism, terror finance, cyber attacks, maritime aggression, human rights abuses, the arbitrary detention of dual nationals, the oppression of women, we see eye to eye on this. There isn’t any disagreement. And I think Europe and our European allies understand that Iran has been able to leverage the Iran Nuclear Deal to expand its ballistic missile testing, and that’s because the Iran Nuclear Deal ended the prohibition on Iran’s ballistic missile testing.
They are in defiance of the Council when they do ballistic missile testing, but as part of the deal, Resolution 1929 was altered and it was succeeded by Resolution 2231 which diluted the ballistic missile testing prohibition, and we’re now dealing with the consequences of that with the increased space launches, ballistic missile testing, and then also just the missile proliferation.
So we are hopeful, especially after the Summary of Conclusions that Europe issued in January, the EU issued in January, that at some point we would love to see the EU match our designations on Iran’s, on the individuals and entities that are facilitating Iran’s missile program. We think it’s in Europe’s interest, it’s in our interest, certainly in the interest of the Middle East to do that.
With respect to the INSTEX, I think there is an understanding that that sort of vehicle is not going to be used to invade U.S. sanctions. We don’t see much corporate demand for this special purpose vehicle, this INSTEX because if you’re a European company and you’re given a choice between doing business in the enormous American market and the rather small Iranian market, it’s a very easy decision to make.
Let’s not forget that when you look at all of the trading partners of the European Union, the EU does more trade with Kazakhstan and Serbia than it does with Iran. It’s the 32nd largest trading partner. So I don’t want us to lose perspective on this. Iran is not a significant market for the EU. So I think in light of all this I think we have an agreement on the threats to peace and security that Iran presents; we disagree about the Iran Deal; we don’t see a lot of corporate demand for INSTEX.
Ambassador Sales: I just want to echo one of the things Brian just said. We agree with Europe more than we disagree on these issues. And one of the areas where we have a very strong common cause is on Iran-sponsored terrorism. We can all agree that the Iranian regime should not be using European soil to plot terrorist attacks, and we know that they are. We know that the IRGC and other elements of the Iranian government are active in directing assassinations and terrorism on the continent.
Just within the past several months we saw the foiling of an Iranian-backed plot to bomb a political rally outside of Paris. We saw the foiling of an Iran-backed plot to assassinate dissidents living in Denmark.
Set aside the nuclear deal. We don’t see completely eye to eye with our European friends on that, but we should all be able to agree, and we do agree that Iran-sponsored terrorism on the continent has to stop.
Media: Do you expect Iran regime will increase terrorist activities after this step was taken, will try to use some militias in third-world countries like Lebanon Hezbollah against Israel or try to use Saraya al-Ashtar against Bahrain or try to use another militia in Iraq to after this step was taken? Do you expect increased activities from Iran’s side?
Ambassador Sales: You can’t commit terrorism without resources, and that’s one of the principle reasons why the Trump administration has been so aggressive in using our sanctions authorities to cut off the flow of money and other resources to the IRGC, to the Iranian regime generally. And as Brian pointed out a moment ago, we’re seeing the effects.
Hezbollah used to receive $700 million a year to commit its terrorism from the Iranian regime. They’re now doing a fundraising drive. That tells you something about the effects that our designations and sanctions tools have had.
We can never anticipate with 100 percent clarity what a terror regime like Iran is going to do in response to yesterday’s announcement, but I can tell you that the threat of Iranian terrorism is precisely why we have put the IRGC on our FTO list because that enables us to marginalize that organization and deprive it of the resources that it otherwise might use to commit terrorist attacks in the region and around the world.
Media: What will happen to the countries that still deal with the IRGC after this decision? That is to say, what are the consequences in the case that some countries continue dealing with the IRGC and the militias that follow it?
Ambassador Sales: Well, we think countries have a choice to make. They can engage with Iran and take the consequences that follow, or they can engage with the United States and our allies and take the beneficial consequences that follow.
You look at all the countries in the Middle East where Iran is active, and they all have something in common. We’re talking about places like Syria and Yemen and Lebanon and in all those countries you see violence and instability, you see central governments that struggle to stand on their own two feet and represent the interests of their own people.
What Iran offers is submission, violence, bloodshed and instability. What the United States offers is sovereignty, prosperity, and the free and open exchange of commerce and people, ideas, et cetera.
So we think countries have a choice to make, and we think that when they do the cost/benefit calculus they’ll understand that doing business with the United States, engaging in friendly relations with the United States, is far better for them than being subservient to Tehran.
Media: My first question would be on a critique that have been levied against this decision by Jason Rezaian. He said that this designation would likely to entrench the power of hardliners in Iran. So he said that instead it would be better to target individuals that are responsible for particular action inside the IRGC. So he proposes this is a better strategy. So what would be your comment on this critique?
And a second very quick question, is there a relation for the fact that the this listing comes after the Islamic State has been finally defeated, a task to which arguably the IRGC has somehow contributed? Thank you very much.
SR Hook: I can take the first question. Jason is wrong. I think Jason’s position is exactly the position the Iranian regime would like people to take, and it’s what I was saying earlier. When you play by their rules, they win. And they have this narrative that they have perfected over 40 years of scaring people from exposing a corrupt religious Mafia and for taking stronger measures to isolate them diplomatically and economically.
There is no better path to support the Iranian people than to pressure the regime from outside and to drive up the costs of its internal repression and its external terrorism.
Ambassador Sales: And on the timing, let me just say the reason we announced it yesterday was because the announcement was ready yesterday. We’ve done a very robust and thorough interagency process that’s lasted quite a while to make sure that we are thinking through all the implications of the FTO designation of the IRGC. That process was completed in the very recent past, so we announced it when it was ready. Don’t read anything else into it.

Just like the houses of these localities of the Ligurian Riviera, even our apartment is distinguished by its vertical development: it is a large townhouse on 4 levels, which directly overlooks the park of Villa Palazzon. The townhouse is located next to the ancient Villa "Palazzon" in via Biron di Sopra, 140 in Vicenza, in an oasis of peace, just minutes from the historic center of Vicenza immersed in silence and a verdant landscape of the adjacent hills . The very spacious and bright apartment is equipped with every comfort and with high quality finishes. Four large bedrooms, one of which is very romantic with sloping ceilings, a kitchen, and a living room with three bathrooms. Air-conditioned environment, windows with mosquito nets and a generously sized private garage as well as reserved parking spaces outside. The large common garden available to the houses of Villa Palazzon, complete a framework for a stay in a prestigious context, where children can play freely and safely and where you can have outdoor parties, barbecues with friends or simply enjoy the reading a book in the shade of the trees. “Genoa”, like all the apartments of Villa Palazzon, is just 5 minutes' drive from the Barracks Del Din, and 15 minutes from the Ederle Barracks. The city center is easily reachable by bike (10 min) or by car (5 min). The American School Bus has just one stop in front of the main gate of the Villa.
The city of Genoa
This apartment takes its name from Genoa’s city, capital of the Liguria region. This city lies to the west of Italy in the direction of France and with its history of more than 700 years of maritime republic is one of the cities richest in fascinating palaces and museums that tell the glories of the past. Genoa certainly deserves a visit, with the advice to dedicate at least 1 or 2 days to the exploration of the nearby Cinque Terre Marine Nature Park: Vernazza, Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Venturing into walks along the paths that connect the 5 municipalities, with breathtaking views will certainly be an experience that you will not forget about your stay in Italy. A nice walk you can also do it visiting the "Boccadesse" district of Genoa, a typical village on the seafront that has a wonderful view, full of houses and small colorful clubs and folklore fishing boats selling fresh fish. If you have children, but will also like adults, you will certainly be happy to take them to visit the aquarium of Genoa, the largest aquarium in Europe, with 12,000 specimens from all the seas in the world. What we suggest to taste in Genoa: pesto alla Genovese, is a condiment made with basil, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, pine nuts that can be tasted with many types of pasta. Of course, being a seaside town, fish will not be another dish that during your stay in Genoa, you will not be able to miss. To visit the city of Genoa, we advise you to use the car because the train includes some changes that lengthen the travel time, but especially because with the car from Genoa you can easily reach and visit the Cinque Terre, declared World Heritage Site. Humanity by UNESCO. Distance from Vicenza: 227 mi (366 km) A4 motorway towards Milan, Brescia A21 Piacenza-Turin direction and then A7 Genoa direction For these and more information follow our Facebook page or ask us directly for any useful advice to better enjoy your Italian stay.
- Garage and reserved parking spaces outside
- Townhouse on 4 levels
- Special feature
- Bedroom with sloping ceilings

Guest Spotlight: Comfort Far From Home
Last fall, Migdalia got a call that her beloved grandson, Jean Ramos, was in a terrible car accident while driving thought Fayetteville, North Carolina. He sustained a severe brain injury and was in a coma for the first 20 days after the accident. Right after the accident, Migdalia hopped onto a plane from Cidra, Puerto Rico and has been at Jean’s bedside ever since.
Migdalia has been a guest at SECU Family House on and off since that awful day. Her day typically begins in our kitchen where she can often be found emptying the dishwashers and cleaning the kitchen before having breakfast with her many, newfound friends.
Asked what she likes most about staying at Family House, Migdalia shares through an interpreter, who also happens to be our Supervising Housekeeper, Sandra DeLeon, “I like everything here. I like the people. Everyone pays attention to my needs. Everyone is good here.” As cold weather came, she didn’t have a coat to keep her warm on her trips to and from UNC Hospitals. Upon learning this, Janice Ross, our Director of House Operations, found a coat for her within minutes. “Everyone is so nice here. That’s why I like to help out by keeping the kitchen clean,” Migdalia says.
Jean is making a remarkable recovery and will be discharged soon. He’ll return home to Puerto Rico with his grandmother. As Migdalia tells us, she has everything she needs at Family house. Yet we know she’ll soon have what she’s wanted most all along: for her beloved grandson to come home.

Some folks put too much emphasis on how a player performs in the scouting combine (Al Davis). Others say it's relatively meaningless. But whatever your opinion on the NFL prospect showcase, Kevin White had an extremely strong showing.
The majority of draft analysts have Amari Cooper as their top receiver in the draft. A couple of those analysts had white as their favorite -- Mike Mayock among them. All White did on Saturday in Indianapolis is make that projection look accurate.
He is a prototypical 6-2 5/8 215 pounds and he carries it in the right places. He has an obviously strong upper body and long arms (32 5/8). By comparison, Cooper measured at 6-1 flat with 31 1/2 arms.
This was a big question coming in and he exploded to a 4.35 40-yard-dash which is third best among receivers at the combine. The only guys faster are 5-9 and 5-10 respectively. 4.35 speed is far more rare in a player over 6-2.
By comparison Cooper ran a 4.42 40-yard-dash officially. Though if you watch this video, it shows things were about as neck and neck between Cooper and White as it can be (pay not mind to what the Rich Eisen is saying. Devante Parker is trailing the pack.)
Was very smooth catching the football with no wasted movement. He looked the ball in and had no drops or bobbled balls.
It was basically a flawless performance for White and I have a feeling after today there will be quite a few scouts and analysts taking a hard look at who they have at the top of their draft board at wide receiver. Or certainly the separation between the two will narrow.
Cooper has a lot more experience with prolonged success and his strength is his route running which is a bit more difficult to measure in shorts.
The Raiders at pick number four are expected to be the first team to show great interest in taking a wide receiver so no one has more to think about than they do.

Life is hectic, and we work really hard in order to make ends meet and live within means that make us comfortable and happy. So it only makes sense that everyone once in a while, a short break is taken, just to rejuvenate. If you keep pushing yourself hard then you’re signing up for a breakdown at some point, and you cannot afford that, and you certainly don’t deserve it. So take care of yourself and make it a point to take a holiday every once in a while to remind yourself that you’re human, you have a life, and you deserve to reward yourself. We’re going to help you a little and fill you in on the most amazing spots in the world that have relaxation written all over them.
Thailand is well known for its wide variety of options when it comes to relaxing locations. With beaches at every angle, you can’t really go wrong when it comes to planning a holiday in Thailand. Let’s not forget that the Thai are famously known for their incredible spas and unmatchable massages. You’ll also find going to Thailand is generally much more affordable than most locations- which just means you can spend more time there!
Costa Rica can appeal to people, regardless of what they like because it has everything. From the beach to the forests, to wildlife and river valleys- it has it all. If it seems overwhelming, you can always go for an all-inclusive package that will make the decisions for you. Among the best stays over there is Pura Vida, where it’s been claimed, “Pura Vida House has the most relaxing beach resorts in Costa Rica”, and quite frankly, there’s nothing better than having all your plans made out for you. If you don’t need to think at all then your vacation is made. There are world-class resorts in Costa Rica and a ton to see, so you could always mix and match between relaxation and exploration if you like.
The Himalayas is a gorgeous mountainous region in the northern part of India and needs to be experienced at least once in a lifetime. The majestic mountains of this part of the world hold a lot of history and spirituality. It is calm and peaceful, and you can immerse yourself in relaxing resorts, go out for peaceful hikes, and immerse yourself in the unique culture and yoga sessions to really flush out any stress you might be going through.
The planet we live on is vast and wide and full of amazing locations that you can and should visit. But if you’re looking for a round of peace of mind and relaxation, start off with the suggestions mentioned here and you certainly won’t regret it. It really is worthwhile to just make that decision, pack your bags, and get on your way to a nice, quiet vacation where you can let go of the stress and enjoy amazing views and top-class services from the best resorts and hotels in the most dreamlike locations.

From fake to junk news
DOI link for From fake to junk news
From fake to junk news book
This chapter argues against the notion of “fake news” to describe the latest information disorder of online communication. Truth and “fakeness” has little to do with this kind of misinformation that does not demand to be believed, but just to be fleetingly noticed and passed along. This type of contents should then be called “viral news” or possibly “junk news” for, just as junk food, they are consumed because they are addictive, not because they are appreciated.
The chapter is organised around a three-stage argument. First, I criticise the notion of “fake news”, dismissing the idea that this type of misinformation can be defined by its relationship to truth. Second, I propose a different definition of this phenomenon based on its circulation rather than of its contents. Third, I reintroduce the connection to data politics, by describing the economic, communicational, technological, cultural and political dimensions of junk news.

- Video Baby
Baby monitor, also known as a baby alarm, is a radio system used to remotely listen to sounds made by an infant. An audio monitor consists of a transmitter unit, equipped with a microphone, placed near to the child. It transmits the sounds by radio waves to a receiver unit with a speaker carried by, or near to, the person caring for the infant.
- Laser Pointer
Laser pointer or laser pen is a small handheld device with a power source (usually a battery) and a laser diode emitting a very narrow coherent low-powered laser beam of visible light, intended to be used to highlight something of interest by illuminating it with a small bright spot of colored light.
- Green Laser
Pointer Green laser pointers appeared on the market circa 2000, and are the most common type of DPSS lasers (also called DPSSFD for “diode pumped solid state frequency-doubled”). They are more complicated than standard red laser pointers, because laser diodes are not commonly available in this wavelength range.
- Blue Laser
Pointer Blue laser pointers in specific wavelengths such as 473 nm usually have the same basic construction as DPSS green lasers. In 2006 many factories began production of blue laser modules for mass storage devices, and these were used in laser pointers too.
- Bluetooth Headset
There are two types of Bluetooth headset. Headsets using Bluetooth 1.0 or 1.1 often have a single monaural earpiece, which can only access Bluetooth’s headset/handsfree profile. Depending on the phone’s operating system, this type of headset will either play music at a very low quality (suitable for voice), or will be unable to play music at all.
- eBook Reader
Any device that can display text on a screen may act as an e-book reader, but specialised e-book reader designs may optimise portability, readability (especially in bright sun), and battery life for this purpose. A single e-book holds the equivalent of many printed texts with no added mass or bulk.
- Surveillance System
Surveillance system is a system where the monitoring of the various activities of individuals or groups can be done simultaneously. It was used in a secretive manner by the government organizations. But with the changing times, it has become a synonym for security in the general sense.
- Keyboard Mouse
Keyboard mouse is extremely popular, everyone who owns a computer will need to get a keyboard mouse. A good quality keyboard mouse can be as convenient as possible and can best improve your work efficiency.

Perfect Pointers for Provincial Pensioners
The past year has taught us that working from home is not everyone’s cup of tea.
Especially when you enjoy sharing that cup of tea with a group of like-minded creatives.
It’s 11am on a Monday morning. Inside the Horowhenua Arts Centre in Levin, tutor Neil Perfect has his drawing class happy and hard at their work.
Cups of hot beverages are prevalent in the massive workspace, giving the vessels a status that borders on the essential.
Each to their own
The class of 20 retired and semi-retired people are working on projects of their own choosing, but all are making use of the fundamental skills, gentle advice and self-directed lessons Perfect has empowered in his students.
Philippa Paterson skims a book of drawings of Australian settler homes. Bronwen Gunn is sketching using the portrait of a loved one as inspiration. Former comic book store owner, now Methodist minister, Ian Body has comics for his muse.
Quietly circumnavigating the room is Perfect, offering guidance when sought.

“Neil has a real knack for knowing where people are at and how to make them comfortable with the rules and basics of drawing,” says Paterson.
“You come along each week and if you have a problem, he can explain it in a way that you find the answer yourself.”
Perfect, who teaches classes of all ages says “whether a student is seven or 70, tutoring is tutoring.
“You’re still teaching form, size, shape and tonal values. You’re helping them critique their work and solve problems themselves. It’s about helping them to express themselves through art the best way they can.”
With a mission to promote art to the wider community through the Horowhenua Art Society, Perfect’s drawing classes are joined by classes in painting modelling and sculpture.
There is also a class for “nervous” beginners on Wednesdays.
And it was a nervous time for all involved in the Art Society during the post-COVID Lockdown days as student numbers took a downturn.
“In this drawing class alone, we went from 20 students to around seven,” says Perfect.

“I think some people realised they didn’t need to do so much. They learnt to enjoy slowing down, while others were a bit nervous about returning to a communal space.
“I questioned it myself. What I was doing and how busy I was. But when you live on your own, it’s important to get out there.”
Over the ensuing months as we all came to grips with the 'new normal', Perfect says the drawing group made it back to full strength, thanks to a combination of returning and new students keen to try their hand.
Getting back into it

A seven-year veteran of the classes, Bronwen Gunn says that whilst missing the classes, post-lockdown anxiety was something she needed to overcome.
“It was good to be able to come back after COVID but like many, I’d got used to social distancing so I did feel a little vulnerable coming back into a group setting.
“But reconnecting was good. I enjoy the interaction within the class and being able to ask Neil for advice is a big reason why having a space like this is so important. You can’t talk to YouTube.”
Disciplines like drawing and painting can often be a solitary activity. But many in the group believe since COVID and equally, the death of the old night school system, the need for communal spaces for people to practice their art is more important than ever.

“Night school has been chopped off at the knees, so this provides a community outlet that otherwise would not be here. Having spaces like this is very important,” says Paterson.
The value of these communal art spaces, in towns like Levin are illustrated by Body, who after moving to Palmerston North, still makes the 50km trip south to Levin to still be a part of the group.

“This centre is a wonderful place. It’s a really nice group and I respond well to Neil’s way of teaching,” says Body.
“For me to have a place to come where you can draw is important. You think you might do something at home. But you don’t. Not only that, here we can all improve. Regardless of our age or skill level, we all want to get better.
“Art can be an individual thing but sometimes it takes being in a communal space to bring out the best in you.”

In the centre’s adjoining gallery, the work of the students is on display and for sale. As Perfect emphasises “this is not just occupational therapy.
“We work on improving and raising the standard of work that is being produced in class, so when the light comes on, when you see someone get it and they apply it to their work, it’s so rewarding. For myself and more importantly, for the artists themselves.”
And the tea?
“Everyone makes a good cuppa here,” says Perfect.
