EU threatens to ban vitamin supplements (The Independent on Sunday, 10 March 2002, page 13)
Some of the most popular vitamin and mineral pills are likely to be banned after a vote in the European Parliament this week. The vote, on Tuesday, is expected to put the finishing touches to a new EU law designed to crack down on the sale of the pills. Critics say that the law … will plunge countless people into distress, and put hundreds of health food shops out of business.
300 vitamin treatments face ban in Euro purge (The Daily Telegraph, 11 March 2002, page 7)
Ninety per cent of multivitamin and mineral preparations and many other supplements are likely to be removed from the shelves of British health shops and chemists if a European directive becomes law…
Euro law 'doom' for health shops (Evening Standard, 11 March 2002, page 5)
Hundreds of popular vitamin and mineral supplements will be removed from the shelves of British health food shops if an EU directive becomes law this week. Campaigners have described the new law as "ridiculous"…
The aim of this directive is to ensure that vitamin and mineral pills on the market are safe to be consumed as supplements to a normal diet. The legislation will put public safety and informed consumer choice first, and should help to solve the problems manufacturers currently face in marketing their products due to diverging national rules. Consumers across Europe will have a wide range of safe products to choose from, which is currently not the case in several Member States.
Manufacturers will be obliged to provide detailed labelling giving clear information to the consumer. Bottles of vitamin pills will have to include clear instructions about daily dosage, a warning about the possible health risks from excess use and a statement that the pills should not be used as a substitute to a balanced diet. Claims that the product can prevent, treat or cure illnesses will be prohibited and it must be made clear that a balanced diet remains the best approach to achieving good health.
Manufacturers will have to submit safety dossiers and make a good case for the efficacy of their product. The UK is, at present, among the more liberal countries in allowing doses far higher than the official recommended daily allowances (RDAs) compared with other EU Member States where over-the-counter supplements may contain only the official RDA. Anything higher must be prescribed on clear medical grounds. The new rules will mean all supplements will be assessed for safety on the basis of scientific guidelines to determine what the maximum levels of vitamins and minerals in food supplements should be.
The claim that extra costs will push health food stores out of business is untrue. If the food supplements contain natural ingredients and pose no health risk, there is nothing to fear from the new safeguards.

|Offline Explorer HAS to download HTML files besides images. It is because only HTMLs contain links to image files and without them it is impossible to see which images are located on the server.
Anyway, if you uncheck File Filters | Text category in the Project Properties dialog, these HTML files will be not saved to disk.

As America ages, more of us will find ourselves caring for a spouse, partner, parent, other family member or close friend. In fact, family members and friends provide about eighty percent of long-term care in our country today. The high cost and shortage of trained caregivers, the desire to provide personalized care within the family, and the varied and changing demands of caregiving, all mean that more people are learning new skills and making adjustments in personal, family, and work life as a result of caregiving responsibilities.
Caregiving experiences are just as unique as the people involved. Each caregiver has different needs, feelings, challenges and rewards. And each family member's relationship with the care receiver is unique, influencing expectations and the overall caregiver experience. Much has been learned about the differences in these experiences as the result of a growing body of research. For example:
Rhonda Montgomery, PhD, has been studying family caregiving experiences for more than 20 years with her colleague Karl Kosloski, PhD. Out of their work has emerged a theory called Caregiver Identity Change. In essence, it says the caregiving experience over time involves a systematic process of change--in activities, responsibilities, and in the partner-like relationship between the caregiver and person receiving care. It also involves a change in the way the person giving care views him- or herself in relation to the person being cared for. This new role grows out of the earlier relationship between the two care partners.
The caregiving role unfolds over time as the caregiver takes on greater responsibility--helping with everyday household affairs, personal care and decisions. Caregiving involves an identity change process. At some point, the person providing care begins to identify himself or herself as a caregiver in addition to being a wife, a son or other kind of relationship. The journey is different for each person in terms of when and how we begin to identify ourselves as caregivers. Caregivers who are providing assistance for a short period of time may never see themselves as a caregiver, while those providing care for years may see themselves and act more like a caregiver than spouse or adult child. This is reflected in a statement repeated by many adult children: "I feel as if I'm the parent now and not the child." They have assumed a caregiving identity and lost their identity as an adult child to their parent.
Personal rules and expectations play an important part in how we each feel about what we are doing in the caregiving role. Montgomery and Kosloski find caregivers experience increased levels of stress when a mismatch occurs between what they are doing and what they think they should be doing on behalf of the individual receiving care. Often, the source of distress is not the activity itself, but how the caregiver feels about it.
The first step to lowering caregiver distress is to identify its source. Once this happens, caregivers can work toward reaching a new comfort level. A number of strategies have been shown to help reduce caregiver distress:
Montgomery and Kosloski's research on the differences in caregiving experiences continues to move forward with the help of a national caregiver registry called the League of Experienced Family Caregivers (see http://www.familycaregivers.uwm.edu). The purpose of the League is to help create better services and resources to support family caregivers. Caregivers share their knowledge and insights by completing brief questionnaires in one of three ways--telephone interviews, mail-in surveys or online.
More than 1,000 caregivers are currently enrolled. The research has identified 22 different categories or pathways of caregiving experiences. These have been further distilled into six broad groups of caregivers. Each is derived from a different set of circumstances. Caregiving experiences are likely to change over time as one moves through the caregiving journey. Thus, a person can move from one category to another.

Anyone with experience of giving birth at Hull Royal Infirmary?(17 Posts)
Just wondered if anyone had given birth at Hull recently and had any feedback? I live halfway between York and Hull, so we're a little torn between the two! Thanks!
I gave birth at HRI 3rd week in April and it was absolutley fine. I'd heard horror stories about HRI but the Womens and childrens dept was clean, staff were pleasent and helpful, and although I was in a double room it wasn't busy so I had the room to myself. Can't really tell you much about the different labour options like birth pools as I just had a bog standard 'lets get this over with' labour, but again the room was clean and there were plenty of staff. Also phoned the midwifes once after we came home, panicing about what baby had thrown up and they were very helpful and reassuring. Hope thats of help and good luck.
We ended up giving birth in HRI in June this yr. We initially started out at the Jubilee birthing center as we hoped not to need epidural etc. After about 24+hrs we did need extra help as there was no progression from 7cm so were tranfered to HRI.
The staff there were really great, keeping me calm and informed of everything they were doing asking if we wanted to carry on or try something different. Two nurses even stayed past the end of their shift to see me into recovery after I ended up needing a C-section.
I had read some horror stories about HRI but then i think people only really post comments if they've had a really bad time/excellent time.
No ideas on York hospital. Have you requested the DVD tour of HRI - ask you're midwife if you haven't.
Hope that helps
Hi my choice was home birth in Bridlington and Hull in emergancy. I had to sign discliamer to have Hull due to distance in case of problems.(the rule is to take people to Scarborough and transfer out normaly York, or Middlesbrough)We ended up in Hull for 7 days in the end. We had great midwives, clean room, good serivce. Hull is teaching hosp so the midwives are up to date and well supervised. I choose Hull due to transport links and ease of access for my support network, if that helps.
I had my first little boy at the Jubilee and it was amazing but I had a haemorrhage afterwards so when I was pregnant with my 2nd they said I had to go to Hull Royal. I was gutted as I'd heard the horror stories but the labour ward was lovely. The midwives were lovely and everything my husband I wanted or needed we got.
The post natal ward on the other hand was awful. I was in a 6 bedded room but I was the only one which I initially thought was lovely but I think I was forgotten about. My son started crying at 9pm and didn't stop screaming until 3am and nobody came in at all. I was right outside the nursing station and spent hours and hours pacing up and down the room trying to stop him crying, whilst sobbing myself cos I just didn't know what to do, and they didn't come in once. They must have seen me pacing and crying, and couldn't fail to have heard Zac screaming(!) and I felt completely abandoned.
I maybe should have asked them for help but I felt as a 2nd time mum I should be able to deal with it, I'd have been fine if they'd come to me though.
Awful time it was, but going back to what I said first, the labour ward was really lovely.
Sal - I've had similar experiences with both of my births at Hull W&C. Labour ward is excellent but post natal ward is shocking. Some individual midwives are great, but generally they seem to be there to keep everyone alive and...erm...that's about it. No time to take babies from knackered mums while they get some sleep and no time to help with BF support (I'm not necessarily blaming them - I don't know if they just can't be arsed or whether they're massivly under-resourced).
Jubilee is excellent if you've no complications. Hull's great for giving birth if you're going to be in and out within a few hours, but prepare yourself for an uncomfortable ride if you have to stay in...
I'd totally agree with formerdiva . . .
I gave birth at HRI in December '10. We'd booked in at Jubilee, but had to go to HRI because of the bad weather (it closed due to the snow). By the time I got to HRI it was too late for any pain relief, but the delivery team were excellent.
HOWEVER, the postnatal ward was horrendous. The staff were great, but being in a room with three other women and babies who are shipped in and out at all times of day was awful. The beds are ridiculously hard, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get any sleep, the staff are over-stretched and (though lovely) are too eager to get you out of the ward and back home (which meant I had to go to Jubilee for aftercare, because I hadn't had sufficient breastfeeding support at HRI and my son was essentially starving when the Midwife called on her 1st visit).
I would ALWAYS choose to go to Jubilee. Failing that, give birth at HRI and transfer out of there to Jubilee for your postnatal care ASAP - they were absolutely FANTASTIC, and the aromatherapy baths weren't bad either!
Good luck all xxx
Strawberry, I also had a baby in HRI in December due to Jubilee being closed.
I agree that labour ward were fab, and also felt "kicked out" of post-natal ward, which in my case was true as I was rushed back there by ambulance 6 hours after arriving home! I ended up staying for a week and had a better experience from then, think that was because I had my own room and they had to keep a very close eye on me though.
The midwives were lovely however, it's very unfortunate that they're so overstretched.
Hi my name is Emma & I live in Goole. I gave birth to my second child Finley in October 2010 at Hull Royal. We were torn between our son being born at Scunthorpe or Hull due to our location. The reason I went for Hull in the end was that I had my first child there and I had a good experience. I was given an ensuite room of my own after I had given birth and the staff were all excellent. My daughter had to be taken to the special care unit after she was born and the facilities there were first rate so I felt as if we were in safe hands. Im glad I choose Hull again as I had a great experience second time round. Unfortunately I was in labour a long time and went through 3 midwives due to shift changes, but all of them were brilliant and I cant thank them enough. I havent heard anything bad about York so it might be just as good. Maybey you should base your decision on the hospital that is closest or fastest to get to by road just in case you have to make a dash for it! I hope everything goes well for you, Good Luck x
Hi, I gave birth to my son in Jan this year at HRI, and found the labour AND post labour wards to be excellent.
The staff on both were very helpful, and I got excellent BF support, one midwife spent 40 mins with me making sure my son was latched on properly.
I had a shared room, but found this ok.
Staff are REALLY busy, but will give lots of help if you need it.
Hope this helps
Hull Royal Infirmary - I had first child by emergency c-section in 2004, a VBAC in 2007, and then an elective c-section for twins in February this year. After the first one, I seriously looked into private maternity birth for my second child, but the nearest unit is Leeds - way too far to contemplate. I found the care in Hull Royal was fantastic if you need clinical help (the doctors have always been great), but that postnatal care and sometimes - dare I say it - the midwives to be indifferent at best. Some of the postnatal midwives are really caring and try their best but are very stretched, some are ignorant and unknowledgable. Those who haven't had children themselves are fab with the babies, but don't understand what its like to be a new mum in a clinical environment.
I have to say, the last time was much, much better. I had my own en-suite room which was clean and well-equipped and I had much more attentive care than previously. But then, they knew I was coming and I was more a '9-to-5' job than on previous occasions. A very different experience to number 2 where I turned up inconveniently in the middle of the night and was left to fend for myself on a ward as the staff said they didnt think I was far enough in labour to be admitted to delivery. By the time the sun had came up, number 2 was in her cot sleeping soundly, just as I expected.
If you need clinical intervention (i.e an op, or a doctor to assist in delivery) then the facilities are second to none, but if you're more a candles and birth pool kind of girl and want full support with the new baby, then I'd seriously start making preps to go the the Jubilee birth centre.
You can get very good care at HRI, but often its a case of she who shouts loudest. So be prepared to do some shouting! Having said that, I don't know much about York.......Good luck.
i work at hull royal as a nurse and just wanted to add that HRI has an amazing special care baby unit which accepts transfers from across the region, i know that no one wants to think about possible complications but i felt reassured knowing that if something did happen i was in the best place for it to be dealt with,
hope thats not to doom and gloom!!

i gave birth at hri jan 2009, first time in labour and i found it to be very pleasent, i was in a room on my own as there were complications with me and found all but one midwife to be very nice and very helpful with me and my little one . i was so scared when i got there but by the time we left the following friday id had a relaxing time and the midwifes were very helpful with showing me how to bath my daughter and letting me rest when i needed to.
if i have another i will definetly be going back to hri X
I am very surprised not to see more comments on this site. Following what I can only describe as an extremely traumatic experience at Hull Women and CHildren's Hospital, I have spoken to a large number of women who've had negative experiences there. The unfortunate element of this is that other than having a home birth, there is no choice. My complaint has been put with PAL; an independent complaints body, but the actions taken seem to be minimal so BEWARE!
Firstly, I would like to say that the doctors that treated me and cared for me during my time at the Hospital were absolutely fantastic and were kind, caring and everything a Dr should be. The issues were with the postnatal care on the Maple/Rowan Wards. The majority of the midwives were also excellent and very caring.
My bad experience commenced on the 24th December 2011 at 11am. I was induced on the 24th with a pessary. After 24 hours, this had failed to work and I was given 2 further pessaries. Following this, my waters were broken but they did not break fully. I was then put on a syntocynon (sp) drip which made the pain unbearable and I had to have an epidural. The quantity of the artificial hormone was gradually increased but failed to establish labour. After 72 hours, I was 7 cm dilated and was asked to 'push.'
Baby was not going to come and a scalp monitor was placed on baby's head and blood tests taken from baby's scalp to see if he was distressed fortunately, he was not!
Because labour was still not progressing after 75 hours and I couldn't 'push' (I now know baby was not adequately positioned to make an appearance), I signed a consent form to either have an episiotomy and forceps to get him out or for a c-section.
I had to have a c-section in the end as babys head could not be grabbed with forceps. All of this was traumatic, but it was after this my BAD EXPERIENCE commenced.
There was one midwife who worked on the labour ward whose actions traumatised me and almost made the difference between me living and dying due to the time it took for her to believe that I was feeling ill! Saying this, other midwives were fantastic and very kind/professional.
Following my c-section I was sore, but mobilised as suggested by the midwives - no problems. I had problems getting my baby to latch on in order to breastfeed him and felt that one particular midwife contributed to the fact that I have never established breastfeeding, despite my best efforts and perseverance. The manner in which the midwife tried to instigate feeding was traumatic to both me and my new baby - to summarise briefly: this involved her grabbing baby's head (whilst he was screaming hysterically) with one hand and my breast with another and forcing his head onto my breast on each occasion when I asked for her assistance.
The next day, I had very swollen legs (I couldn't even bend my knee because of the size of my legs) despite having no swelling throughout my pregnancy. This was put down to 'normal postnatal swelling,' normal - it was not!
I expressed to the midwife that I felt very poorly and she gave me some codeine which I said I did not want as it makes me feel sick but she told me to take it. I asked to take just one tablet and she was sarcastic stating that it wouldnt do me any good and I had to take both tablets - I was promptly sick and mentioned to another midwife that I had been sick and thought it was because of the codeine.
Over the course of the next two days, I maintained that I was feeling poorly and was shivering violently, had a headache, swelling where my liver is etc. I was once again told by this midwife to mobilise or I would get a blood clot. I expressed concern that I felt too poorly to look after my baby. To my distress, this comment appeared in my notes as 'emotional and can't look after baby.' I was shivering so violently that I couldnt hold a glass of water in one hand and a glass in the other and pour myself a glass of water without it missing the glass. The metal of the bed was rattling because I was shivering so violently.
The next day, on my next blood pressure/temperature observations, (many were missed or not taken as regularly as I feel they should have been despite me feeling ill) the midwife came to see me and stood at the end of my bed in an intimidating manner and told me off for complaining that she'd given me the codeine that had made me sick. I was obviously upset by her attitude (witnessed by my husband). She persisted in talking down/ranting at me for about 15 minutes then stormed off not taking my observations. I challenged the fact that she didnt believe I was feeling as ill as I was and that she thought I was being lazy.
Later on, the midwife came back with an assistant and my obs/temperature were taken by the assistant and shared with the midwife; the midwife was determined to prove there was nothing wrong with me. My temperature read 39.4 and at this point, the midwifes attitude changed as she realised I was not making my symptoms up due to laziness.
Turns out I had septicaemia and all of my veins collapsed leaving it nearly impossible to get a line in to give me IV antibiotics etc. If my illness had been discovered earlier through listening to me when I stated I was ill when I had first displayed the symptoms of a blood infection - (surely something to look out for in someone who has had major surgery) it is my opinion that the it the infection could've been prevented from becoming as serious.
Once I had requested my care to be taken over by another midwife and was moved to another area of the Ward, my care improved and the midwife who was working on that area was extremely kind, knowledgeable and efficient.
My actions will be to move house before having another child in order to avoid giving birth at Hull Women and Childrens Hospital.
I know op has long since had baby but thought I'd post for anyone else searching topics.
I originally went to hospital to be induced (thought my waters had broken 48 hrs before). Went at 7 in morning and was pointed towards a ward and left there to knowing what was going on. I eventually was spoken to after I told the woman that takes lunch orders that I didn't know what was happening. Midwife came, told me it was the busiest day of the year and I'd have to wait. At around 2 pm I was sent to the labour ward and sat listening to other women scream the place down with my fingers in ears!
At 9pm (14 hours later) a consultant came to see me and was rather abrupt. She said she didn't think waters had broken and didn't induce people for the fun of it. She said they'd sent for a copy of my records from castle hill but they were lost somewhere. She spoke to me as though i'd chosen the course of action. I was sent home.
I do understand that they were very busy
When baby actually was coming I had no complaints about midwives in labour ward. After having baby I was taken to post natal ward. I was left in a private room at the very end of a corridor. I had never touched a baby before and because it was already past insisting hours oh was told he would have to leave. The midwife didn't explain anything to me- I didn't even know where the light switch was and ended up groping around in the dark all night. I was so shaky that I was afraid to pick baby up as I couldn't even support my own weight. I didn't see anyone until the following morning.
I felt very alone, useless and didn't have a clue what I was doing.
Hospital wanted me to stay in another day but due to such poor after care and feeling that I couldn't cope another night alone I discharged myself when I didn't feel ready.
I gave birth in Hull Royal Infirmary back in 2015 and although I've heard horror stories, my experience was lovely. Everyone was so kind and helped me in every way possible.

So it comes as no surprise that the label has now released this CD by Stellari String Quartet, comprising Philipp Wachsmann on violin, Charlotte Hug on viola, Marcio Mattos on cello and John Edwards on double-bass. Besides that line-up being a roll call of top-notch string improvisers, it is noteworthy for breaking away from the conventional (i.e. classical) string quartet line-up of two violins, viola and cello. Substituting the double-bass for one of the violins extends the spectrum of sounds this quartet can produce, adding more bottom and giving the music greater depth and solidity. Although the phrase "string quartet" carries connotations and raises certain cultural expectations, here it simply signifies a foursome of string players, nothing more.
Refreshingly, the music here seeks to neither emulate nor deliberately avoid conventional notions of the string quartet. Instead, each of the four players brings their own distinctive voice and approach to their instrument plus openness to the music produced by the others. Across four tracks recorded live in concert in Switzerland in May 2007 and three studio tracks recorded in London the previous September, the four voices interact and immerse themselves in the collective identity of the quartet.
Telltale trademark traces of the individuals remain evident Wachsmann's soaring glissandi, Hug's simultaneous bowing of all four viola strings, the gravitas of Mattos's stately bowing, Edwards' percussive blows to the body of his bassyet the individual voices are more often subsumed into a dialogue in which their contributions overlap both in time and in frequency, creating a whole greater than any of its parts. It is a fascinating exercise to try to remain focused on one player throughout, but ultimately that is as difficult as following one particular strand through a richly woven tapestry.
Track Listing: Pleione; Merope; Alcyone; Sterope; Mintaka; Alnitak; Alnilam.
Personnel: Philipp Wachsmann: violin; Charlotte Hug: viola; Marcio Mattos: cello; John Edwards: double-bass.

Brands undergo a transformation from time to time. Some change their appearance, some launch new product lines, some make changes to their portfolio. But when a brand does a couple of these things all at the same time, it's like watching a badly choreographed dance move.
About a month ago, Best Buy abruptly closed over 100 stores of its sister brand, Future Shop, only to reopen about 60 of them as Best Buy stores. They didn't do this gradually or with consideration for the existing equity Future Shop had built, neither were they considerate for employees they laid off (employees have to reapply if they choose to work at Best Buy). As for customers, there were positive aspects of Future Shop that are now un-catered to. For instance, the instore auto section, that has now transitioned to Best Buy online. The service included providing guidance and also installation if required. Now that it's online, the experience is diluted and if the wrong auto part is ordered, returns and re-ordering is a hassle. Future Shop even had better payment options on their credit card.
Best Buy in its feeble attempt to stay afloat, is making hasty choices that will do the business more harm than good. Currently focussing on Amazon as competition, they have launched "Market Place" – a section on their website where third party merchants can sell their products. Neither is this model unique to Best Buy nor will it salvage their plummeting sales figures. It's an "I'll have what they're having" move. Amazon and E-bay have excelled at it with great customer service, free shipping policies, easy returns – not attributes Best Buy can hope to achieve right at the get go. Yes retail has experienced a huge online shift, but the brand experience needs to remain consistent with the traditional store. This market-place model does not do that.
Alot has been said about Best Buy shoppers not making it to check out and using the store to browse the latest technology and then purchasing elsewhere. Well, I don't think Best Buy can or should attempt to price-match and would do better if they turned their attention to other aspects.
Not to sound like the grim reaper but Best Buy is knocking on death's door with its current strategy(or lack of it). What the brand could be doing instead:
1. Enhance the in-store experience: Since the brick and mortar stores are still in operation, it would be a good idea to turn the focus on how to improve customer service, how to make Geek Squad more knowledgeable and helpful, find ways to reduce being under-stocked, enhance the store itself with brighter lighting and easier manoeuvrability.
2. Retain Future Shop's merits: They might have closed the store but they should incorporate the aspects of FS that worked well for the brand(as mentioned above).
3. Improve the web experience: If they want to compete with Amazon, they shpuld start by making online purchases hassle-free in every way possible. Easy returns, free shipping where possible and providing indepth information on new technology would incentivize consumers to want to choose Best Buy.
Surviving as a Big Box electronic retailer at a time where choices are plenty and the shopper is highly tech aware is not an easy feat, even more reason for prompt transformations before the brand becomes a case study in bad business strategies.

Gum and Bone Replacement
Placement of Gum and/or Bone where Teeth are Missing to Improve Appearance and/or reduce shadows Under Existing or Needed Restorations like Bridges.
Dental bridges (FPD-fixed partial denture) have been used for decades to replace missing teeth. Until dental implants emerged on the scene, they were the only way to replace missing teeth that did not involve a removable appliance. Now that dental implants are available for tooth replacement and with the increased interest in veneers and crowns to create beautiful smiles, we are re-examining the role the gums and bone play under bridges and between teeth in the overall esthetics of the smile. When the jawbone is narrow or gums are missing under bridges and between the teeth, shadows are created and black spaces occur that detract from the cosmetic appearance of the teeth or the overall smile. In many cases we can replace missing gums or bone to restore the ridge (Ridge Augmentation) where a tooth is missing or help support the gums around the teeth to improve the appearance of the front teeth.

Horses of the West
Black Nell - Wild Bill Hickok's Horse
Black Nell died in 1870. The horse's grave marker read: "Here lies Black Nell, the most gallant heroine of the Civil War and of the Plains."
Commanche - (1862-1891) - Survivor of the Battle of the Little Bighorn
Commanche was famous for having been the sole survivor of General George Custer's command at the Battle of the Little Bighorn on June 25, 1876. Commanche was of mustang lineage, captured in a wild horse roundup, gelded and sold to the U.S. Army Cavalry in 1868. The 15 hand bay became the favorite mount for Captain Myles Keogh of the 7th Cavalry. He was found two days after the battle by a burial party investigating the site. Severely wounded, the horse was transported by steamer to Fort Lincoln, 950 miles away, where he spent the next year recuperating. Comanche remained with the 7th Cavalry under orders excusing him from all duties. Most of the time he freely roamed the Post and flower gardens. When the Cavalry was ordered to Fort Riley, Kansas, in 1888, Comanche, aging but still in good health, accompanied them and continued to receive full honors as a symbol of the tragedy at Little Bighorn. Finally, on November 7, 1891, about 29 years old, Comanche died of colic. The horse is currently on display in a humidity controlled glass case at the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History, Dyche Hall, Lawrence, Kansas.
Buffalo Bill Cody's white horse that he had ridden in the 101 Ranch show.
Traveller (1857 - 1871)
Traveller, An American Saddlebred, was Confederate General Robert E. Lee's most famous horse during the American Civil War. As a colt he took the first prize at the Lewisburg, Virginia, fairs in 1859 and 1860. As an adult gelding, he was a sturdy 16 hands high and 1,100 pounds, iron gray in color with a long mane and flowing tail. Traveller was a horse of great stamina and was usually a good horse for an officer in battle because he was difficult to frighten. In 1870, when Lee died, Traveller was led behind the General's hearse, following the caisson with his master's boots reversed in the stirrups, his saddle and bridle draped with black crepe. Not long after Lee's death, in the summer of 1871, Traveller stepped on a rusty nail and developed lockjaw. There was no cure, and he was euthanized to relieve his suffering.

SIR – People shouldn't be too quick to blame farmers for not clearing rivers that flood. It is the farmers who are always there to help in bad weather – clearing roads in snow and removing cars from flooded roads.
We walk along the lesser Teise, a tributary of the Medway near Yalding in Kent, and we are continually phoning the Environment Agency, informing them of trees or rubbish in the river, but we are mainly ignored. The rivers are no longer dredged because of wildlife.
Elizabeth Day
Collier Street, Kent
SIR – We live on the outskirts of Yalding, and were cut off during the floods. In 2000 we moved into our 400-year-old house, and have experienced two major floods.
This time, I witnessed wonderful community spirit and heard much praise for voluntary organisations. The response of the Environment Agency was little better than in 2000, and worse in some respects. It gave the rivers Beult and Teise "flood warning" status; the Medway was given the same status the next morning. At no time was it raised to the highest "severe flood warning". It gave residents the impression that the flooding would be less than in 2000. In fact, it was far worse.
Fortunately, we were told what to expect by a neighbour in contact with operators of the Leigh flood barrier. Those that relied on the Floodline information service were not so fortunate.
The water far exceeded the capacity of the Leigh flood barrier. It may buy time for Tonbridge residents to be evacuated but seems to do little to limit flooding. Its capacity needs to be increased. Inaction comes at a heavy cost to householders and businesses in the Medway valley.
Rob Bird
Yalding, Kent
SIR – Yalding has flooded from time immemorial, but less frequently in the past 60 years, thanks to the work of the Medway Conservancy. In the Fifties, the Beult flooded Yalding most years. My father's farm flooded, but not the house. He would canoe across the river and up the high street delivering milk and bread to those who had decided to live upstairs.
No one thought of phoning the council. The village used self-help, with the WRVS providing food and blankets in the village hall. It appears that this fine tradition has been forgotten or lapsed – a great pity.
Peter Davidson
Tenterden, Kent
SIR – I am appalled at the state of the ditches around us in Hampshire causing floods. We keep our own ditches very clean, with no lying water round us, and we are in a valley. We have also dug out a pond and elsewhere a winter pond.
It's common sense: the water has to go somewhere and will behave quite well if guided.

Implementation challenges of CECL Methodology (Current Expected Credit Loss) & leveraging OFSAA LLFP Analytical Solution
In 2012 Financial account standards board (FASB) issued a proposed accounting standard update that proposes that banks and other financial institutions modify recognition of impairment from an "incurred loss" or "probable loss" basis to a "lifetime of loss" estimate. Global financial institutions need to set aside loan impairment reserve for duration of the exposure as opposed to reserving for ''probable losses''. This proposal require banks to calculate loan reserves future loss estimates based on past events, current conditions and reasonable forecasts about the future.
Under this new proposal, though there is no need to determine loan reserve at the loan level it is very important for banks to maintain granular detail throughout the life of the loan. In addition to considering loan attributes, borrower attributes historical loss experience of loan with similar characteristics also need to be considered. Effect of current economic environment as well as projected economic environment arised over the life of the loan.
While implementation of an expected credit loss model require significant work of banks & financial institutions, following are potential challenges to be considered.
a. Complex vintage analysis
b. Data requirements specific to life of loan calculation (LOL)
c. Discounted cash flow analysis
d. Forecastable features(like future drawdowns, delinquency, discount rates, prepayment).
Incorporating CECL method will have significant impact on how banks/financial institutions set aside reserves for future credit losses on impaired assets. In order to address many of these implementation challenges of CECL model Oracle financial services provides packaged solution, OFSAA LLFP which can be leveraged by global banks. LLFP solution provides capability like historical transition matrix , Cohort method for vintage analysis and discounted cash flow methodologies to address these challenges.

LOUISVILLE, Ky (WHAS11) – A teenage boy who dreamed of becoming a Marine, died tragically on Sunday when he accidentally hanged himself while trying to pull off a prank for Halloween. According to his mother, Ginger Rodriguez, 16-year-old Jordan Morlan was decorating the house for October 31 when he decided to prank his little sister by pretending to hang from a noose decoration he put up on a tree.
According to the coroner, Jordan placed the noose around his neck but became disoriented, cutting his brain off from oxygen within 20 to 30 seconds. His younger sister discovered him and his mother rushed to cut him down but was not able to remove her son from the tree.
He was taken to the hospital and placed on a ventilator, comatose. According to his mom, his organs began to fail and he died 12 hours after the accident occurred.
Jordan was a member of the ROTC rifle team and a sophomore honor student at Fern Creek High School. His mother described him as a motivated young man who had just started applying for jobs and was excited to get his drivers license.
Rodriguez spoke out about the events, hoping parents will talk to their kids about pulling pranks so that no other family will have to endure a similar tragedy.

Imagine you're on a road trip and you need to make a stop. You happen to arrive at one of the 430 Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores located in 41 states in the US. You fill up the tank, go into the convenience store for snacks, drinks and use the restroom. As you head up to the register and glance at the items on offer, you see the severed heads of several alligators on display for sale as novelties. Along with the usual impulse items is a callous and disrespectful display of the heads of members of a fellow species. Tell Love's to stop this cruelty!
Humans have largely vilified and feared, but also held a fascination for these ancient animals. Although alligators are predators to be respected, Love's sickening truck stops proves that we are far more deadly to alligators than they are to us.
Love's disrespectful and callous display of these individuals' heads may evoke smirks and trite conversation amongst some travelers, but to those of us who regard the lives of others, the sight is repulsive and abhorrent. We should not be subjected to the insensitive capitalization of animals' heads, or any other body parts, regardless of their species.
Love's merchandising department has not yet disclosed to us the number of its travel stops that profit from the selling of alligator heads. Let it be our mission to see that none of Love's truck stops be the purveyor of the heads of any species. The photo depicting the display of alligator heads at the Canton, Mississippi Love's Country Store was taken by our Justice for Animals Campaign Director, Doll Stanley.
Love's is family-owned and headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Tom Love is the founder and chairman of the corporation. Please join us in respectfully and convincingly letting him know that the selling of any species' head is offensive enough to dissuade us from stopping at a Love's center in favor of one of Love's competitors by making a call and sending our email.
1) Please call (800) OK-LOVES (655-6837) EX 6 and politely ask Stacey to tell Chairman Love that you will not be stopping at one of Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores until In Defense of Animals has reported that Love's has removed the heads of alligators from its travel stops "on-the-go items." Don't be daunted if Stacey is unable to answer. You may leave a message. If the message machine is full, try speaking with her, or leaving a message the next day. Even if you are not able to speak with Stacey, or leave a message, Love's will get the message that the controversy over the selling of alligator heads in any of their stores is not worth losing customers.
2) Please submit our alert which will instantly send an email to Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores.
Show Your Love & Stop Selling Alligator Heads as Novelties
Dear [Decision Maker],
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]
If you take action and have not already registered, you will receive periodic updates and communications from In Defense of Animals.

Fukushima Leaks
Radiation is my daughter's nickname
where they've relocated us, and we live
on the outskirts of town
because our neighbors built
a wall when we moved in.
The fish are fearless here
close to the surface, nursing
the turbulence of sky.
The mountains roar
and worry vies for height
with them. My daughter's
classmates cross the street
from her, give even her dress,
the one we sewed together,
a wide berth.
Sight stills at each tide,
and there is fear everywhere
in this new town.
At one edge of town,
us. At one edge of town
the fish boil up each crest
like burbling geysers
and the fishermen are no more
allowed nets.
The fish are all bad, aberrant,
but the fish can't care.
For the first time, they feel release.
Sovereign, they own the ocean.
Minikin prayers rest gingerly
in half-hearts. The people look
to the thinning sky,
to the mountains,
the sea,
and avoid our gaze. We float.
We ghost about.
And linger
where we have lost our names.
Where we have new ones not ours
and no one will touch us
where they put us.
I count pieces of rice
each midday tracing the sun
across the wall, waiting till
my daughter returns from school.
Not full of learning
but full of want.
The teacher counts heads
but avoids laying her hand on
my daughter's. The children notice
such things, as they always do.
She curls into dream and taunts
flick her feet in sleep. Her breaths
company like a sickly, hobbling dog.
She only gets older here.
Where I am no longer a nurse.
Where the fish nurse the sky.
Where the floods burn.
Where our burns mean nothing.
The News from Latournelle
Lekol closed
this Tuesday,
no teachers
from now on.
The building swollen
with lost
kids, still coming,
combed, uniformed
tatters, scummed-
up fresh, loud,
shiny bonjous.
Still the flag
staggers up
the twine in
Embezzlers working
for the Church
set off
their guffaws
like alarms,
get driven
to the next
to lick a
to survey
how far
the crack
has traveled
in the school wall,
to walk through
what's not done.
I sit back from all this.
A standard Haitian
dog, medium color, medium-
aged, stares at me, medium,
the only one who will
throw her a look
or a cracker. Under cover
of dusk, creeping, hunched
hoping to smooth
past the creaks, nightingale
-by-earthquake boards, I
undo my shirt pocket, spill
the crumbs precious
over the dust, and the chen,
won over, and so plain,
treats me like nothing
seen before, an alien, and
follows me for the week.
No one can know
I've done this.
My sin follows me,

Parenting Skills – Teach Your Children Anti-Bullying Skills
Hire Dr. Ben to get the personal coaching you need to teach your children the skills they need to stop bullying.
Peaceful methods (understanding, tolerating, logic, reasoning, forgiveness) are wonderful first steps and sometimes they stop mild bullying. But your children and teens will need firmer, stronger methods to stop relentless, determined bullies.
Good parenting requires you to teach them how to use other tactics and techniques to stop bullies in their tracks. You can teach them how to work their way up a sequence of methods.
- Peaceful, conciliatory methods that are often, but not always, effective.
- How to push back verbally.
- How to get allies and friends to help them.
- How to get school administrators to stop the bullying.
- How to push back physically.
Purchase "How to Stop Bullies in Their Tracks" from this web site and I'll ship it priority mail at no extra cost.
To maintain their independence, confidence and self-esteem, and to promote their effective emotional development, your children need to succeed against relentless bullies in school. That's also necessary preparation for them to succeed in the adult world at work and in their adult relationships with husbands, wives, partners, brothers, sisters, relatives, friends and neighbors.
See Dr. Ben on, "Should Kids Fight to Stop Bullying?"
- Help your children learn specific methods to prevent bullying before it starts and how to stop it when it's just begun.
- Help your children take the initiative and stop bullying even if it has gone on for a long time.

Tonight we returned to Amsterdam's famed Concertgebouw where we performed our Orlando di Lasso program in the chamber hall. It's a pretty oval room, with a lovely clear sound and very audience friendly - the whole oval is surrounded by places to sit and get refreshment. Orlando is a very specific program for a specific audience. Nobody comes who is not interested in this kind of music, which makes for a very concentrated audience and a very intimate experience.
The Orlando program finds us in our arc which demonstrates our interlocking tessituras

I love the Del Mar Track! This past Friday I was betting on the Ponies with some of my favorite San Diego Mommy Bloggers.
Earlier in the day I was on a winning streak and then this…
and that's exactly what I said when I woke up the next morning.
Here is our story as seen through the lens of my iPhone and HipMamaB's. I'd like to say Mama Mary, but as some point she managed to loose hers and Miss SugarJone's ran out of batteries! So I'm going to blame them for the holes in this picture post.
It all started off so innocently.
Group of Girlfriends out at the Track (hosted by DMTC. Not sure to thank them or blame them)
We look so sweet and innocent, how could we possibly get into any trouble?
We decided to go eat Sushi for dinner.
We caught a bug…
We got shushed at some point.
We weren't that loud…
Then HipMamaB and MamaMaryShow busted out this…
and then to prove how "Ghetto" I am I did this…
I have absolutely no idea what I was thinking and yes I have a dress on.
At some point Mama Mary may or may not have pissed her Assets.
Mary I sure hope you didn't take a picture of that with your missing iPhone.
I also believe this was the point we received a text from ooph.com stating that she had farted and was ready to fall asleep.
She's a slacker and couldn't keep up with us.
After that we headed over to L'Auberge
Mama Mary, Sugar and I. Wait, where was HipMamaB?
Oh she yeah, she was over there laughing at I mean with a Jockey.
Mama Mary later taunted the Jockey with her how tall she was.
Shortly after saving an anorexic girl…
Mama Mary lost her phone!
It was time to call it a night, but we are very proud of ourselves…
Even with the major hangover,
this was one of the best nights of my life!
I love you girls!

EC pulls up MHA over anti-Sikh riot compensation issue
In an order on the issue, the EC said the absence of a denial by the Home Ministry led to an "unmistakable impression" that a decision has actually been taken. The Commission said there should be an assurance that "such instances do not recur in future."
The EC was deciding on the Home Ministry's response to its notice issued on October 31 after news appeared that the government would give a fresh compensation of Rs 5 lakh to each of those killed in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The Commission had asked the government to give an explanation on the news item by November 3 as the election model code of conduct was in place in view of Assembly bypolls in Delhi, which have since been cancelled following dissolution of the House.
Referring to MHA's response to an earlier EC letter, the poll watchdog said while government has maintained that no decision was taken regarding compensation, the news was "widely published" and disseminated not only in the print media but also on the electronic media.
"Several panel discussions on various TV channels were also arranged," pointed out the EC order sent to the MHA. "The Commission has also not come across any denial of the above news by the government in the electronic media, etc.
"Thus, it cannot be denied that the above news item gave an unmistakable impression to the electorate that a decision to the above effect was in fact taken by the government and that had the likelihood to effect of disturbing the level playing field when the Model Code of Conduct was in force in Delhi in the context of the then ongoing bye-elections to the Delhi Legislative Assembly (for three seats), which ought to have been avoided," the two-page order said.

Contract dispute could black out popular channels for Hargray subscribers
Hargray Communications cable subscribers could lose popular Viacom channels, including MTV, BET and Comedy Central, if a contract dispute with the programmer isn't resolved by the end of the month.
The Hilton Head Island-based cable-television provider's contract with Viacom ends March 31, and the mass media company wants more money, according to a letter Hargray mailed to its customers, some of whom received them Friday.
"This is so egregious that we as a company can't accept the rate they are offering," Hargray vice president of sales and marketing Gerrit Albert said.
Attempts Friday to reach a Viacom representative were unsuccessful. The company also provides channels such as Spike TV, VH1, TV Land and Nickelodeon.
Hargray pays programmers such as Viacom a monthly per-channel fee. As contracts near expiration, new agreements are negotiated.
Albert said Viacom wants an increase 40 times the rate of inflation and much higher than the usual 8 to 10 percent increase most programmers are requiring. He declined to disclose Viacom's price.
Earlier this month, Albert said those increases were the primary reason Hargray raised its cable rates.
Starting April 1 -- the same day customers could potentially lose Viacom channels -- customers' monthly bills will jump by an average of $5. Coupled with a new $2 Internet charge, a customer with a cable TV-Internet bundle will pay $7 more a month, or $84 more per year.
However, fees for the firm's 30,000 cable customers could decline if Hargray loses Viacom, Albert said.
"We're contemplating, in the event of a loss in coverage, a number of things, one of which would be reduction to the price customers pay," he said.
Hargray is one of about 750 small- to medium-sized cable companies that make up the National Cable Television Cooperative, a negotiating agent sparring with Viacom on behalf of the companies.
The spat is similar to Time Warner Cable's dispute with CBS last year that cost Time Warner 300,000 customers.
Albert said battles between cable providers and programmers are the new norm for the telecommunications business. And often, it's the customers who pay.
"I think the whole content model is broken," he has said.

We have a system from Rostec, their service and support is terrible to say the least. We have the one camera that went down they did not want to try and fix it just sell us another one. We found a place in Edmonton that tried to help us but found out cameras are from China can't get any support or parts from them so that is $1600 down the drain.

I've been living in Copenhagen for six months now. Having realised this, my best friend Mads slapped me round the face with a Nordic fish when I told him I hadn't seen Drive director Refn's debut feature film Pusher. Mads did the only thing possible, he bought me the DVD. I watched it.
Centred around the story of a drug pusher desperately trying to escape a rising debt to a Copenhagen drug baron, the film is brilliantly simply, unfussy and totally gripping. Filmed on a shoestring budget, the confrontational handheld camera work, fast cuts and local slang mould together to create something organically immersive.
Whether it's Gosling as the Driver or Tom Hardy as prison battle-axe Bronson, Refn doesn't really do conventionally likeable protagonists. With pusher Frank, he's clearly an amoral man, but the sense of foreboding dread looming over his head is palpable and one can't help longing for him to come up trumps with the money.
It might borrow a bit heavily from Scorsese's plentiful representations of gangsta New York, and it might not have the strong aesthetic beauty of Refn's later works. Regardless, seeing Pusher illustrates how capable the Danish-American director is creating gritty, red-blooded drama. Long may his harsh world live on.
PS – Following his recent successes, Refn holds an exec producer role in a vibrant, British revamping of Pusher due out later this year. It'll be interesting to compare the two, especially here from a Danish perspective where the original is so highly regarded. Watch this durrty space.

Our Favorite Things: Freshly Picked Moccasins/
When we downsized to prepare for our move from 1,000+ sq feet to less than 300 sq feet, we got rid of 80% of what we owned. We are very careful with what we keep now, we are quick to get rid of things that aren't working for us; clothing that stays at the bottom of the drawer, shoes that are uncomfortable, dishes or appliances that aren't used. As a result, the things that we are left with are all things that we genuinely LOVE. Products, brands and items that we think deserve a place in our home!
We love Freshly Picked Moccasins! They're Abram's current favorite shoe and he's been wearing them everywhere and anywhere lately.
The moccasins are made from 100% real leather, made in the USA and they're so soft and comfortable.
I love that they stay on Abram's foot no matter how much playing, climbing, running, rolling or crawling he does. Abram was a pretty early walker, but he still trips over his feet and falls all the time. I find that soft soled, light shoes such as these seem to work better for him, it's almost like walking barefoot. They're excellent for tiny babies, crawlers, early walkers and busy toddlers!
Abram wears his moccasins outside and tromps through all kinds of rough terrain with them, they're tough enough to keep his feet safe while still allowing him to balance more easily over obstacles.
Another thing that I really appreciate about these moccasins is that they take up very little space. I've never realized how much space shoes take up until we started living tiny! We have a basket under the couch and that's where all of our shoes live. I love that Abram's moccs take up hardly any room!
While we were at my parents' house the other day, Abram dumped an entire mug of (luke warm) coffee all down his belly and all over his moccasins. I worried that they would stain or stay wet for a long time. Within minutes, they looked good as new! Low maintenance is a necessity for our family!
I really appreciate versatile shoes and clothing options for our whole family, since we're so careful with what we keep in our home! Abram's moccasins are tough enough to wear adventuring in the woods, cute enough to wear for family photos and nice enough to wear to church!
I can tell that he likes wearing them, and that's a big plus for me. It's totally not worth hanging onto a cute pair of shoes if it's a battle to get them on every time!

Transformation Tuesday
You can see it all over the place.
On Instagram.
On Facebook.
On blogs.
On Youtube.
It even has its own hashtag... #transformationtuesday
Doing what I do now...I share a lot about my own transformation. If I am being honest, when I started this, I was only concerned about losing weight. Not about changing my inside or my mental game or even about changing my eating habits. I wasn't interested in learning about health or fitness...I just wanted to get the scale down. I wanted "my number" to go down because that would make me feel better.
Transformation is an interesting thing because it never really happens exactly how we imagine it. Sure, we have goals and ideas and some sort of mental picture but it's really a wild card because the cool thing about transformation is that it is happening… It is like take a guess at the future. Today I want to share a story about a transformation that one of my challengers is experiencing.
We can get so caught up in the numbers game and focus on weight that we miss the beauty of what is actually happening in other areas. I don't just mean the internal changes, either. All my life, it was always about a number on the scale. My day, my attitude was made or broken in the first 5 minutes because of the number on a scale. Its crazy to me NOW to think about the power that scale had on me. Yes, BeachBody has helped reshape my mental perspective of how I feel and see myself, but there are also very real physical transformations occurring. And these are in real time! Actually occurring every day! Please don't become so laser-focused on one thing that you fail to notice the excellence you're achieving in other areas.
Waking up to messages like this really brings me to tears. Because i know for me...it took a long time to realize it is so much more than what that scale says. It really is about how are body is changing. How are mind is changing. How are life is changing. So, when i see my challengers realizing the same thing...its so huge.
I am extremely excited to share this…and I hope it encourages you as much as it does me.
***If you are looking for a friend to go on this journey with you...Im here.
Im a 44 year old Mom taking charge of her health and who's passionate about helping you live your healthiest, happiest life.

DETROIT, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Police said they were looking for an escape artist who apparently walked out of a Detroit jail by posing as another inmate who had posted bond.
Rocky Marquez, 34, was on the streets for five days before anyone realized he had switched identification wristbands with another man who was set for release Jan 20.
"Marquez has a big head start on us, but we're doing a national manhunt for him and hopefully we can locate him again," U.S. Marshal David Gonzalez told ABC News.
It was not the first time Marquez had successfully broken out of jail. He had been locked up at the Wayne County Jail while awaiting extradition to face charges that included escaping from a Phoenix lockup last year.
"He obviously has a penchant for getting out of jail and wanting to stay out of jail, but we hope we can put an end to that run here soon," Gonzalez said.
WXYZ-TV, Detroit, said Marquez was able to escape the Phoenix jail by having someone pay the bond of another inmate and then use that individual's wrist band to walk out the door.
Police said Marquez faced drug and traffic charges in Arizona and had an assault weapon handy when he was picked up in Detroit Jan. 15. Officials said he also had ties to Florida, California and Mexico as well as Michigan and Arizona.

While medical malpractice cases happen with some degree of frequency, it's very rare to see murder charges filed against doctors. In a bizarre case from Los Angeles, a physician has been convicted of second-degree murder after killing at least 3 patients with an excessive amount of prescription medication.
Many medical malpractice incidents are characterized by negligence or a lack of care on the part of a physician, but this case is somewhat unique given the doctor's blatant disregard for the lives and well-being of her patients.
A Wanton Disregard for Patient Safety
Prosecutors only filed three murder charges, even though at least 12 of the doctor's patients have died. This is because the other cases all involved other factors, including prescriptions from other doctors. However, the Deputy District Attorney in the case was able to prove that she wrote prescriptions for "crazy, outrageous amounts of medication" that the patients had no need for.
Proving a Civil Suit
The doctor yielded her license to practice back in 2012, and has reached settlements with several victims' families in their civil cases. To prove that her negligent actions contributed to the patient deaths, personal injury attorneys would have first been required to establish that the patients actually were treated by the doctor. The presence of a prescription, along with other medical documentation, would likely have been plenty to prove this relationship.
Next, the attorneys would have needed to prove that she was negligent in her actions when she prescribed excessive amounts of medication. This would be done with the assistance of medical experts, who can establish the standard of care given the unique circumstances of each case.
Finally, the attorneys would need to prove that the negligent action of over-prescribing led to the death of the patient. In this case, giving the patients access to copious amounts of highly-addictive medication clearly led to them overdosing and ultimately passing away.
