I loved my finished product, Tammy and I worked together to come up with something that I would love and indeed I love it. We just came back from our Disney vacation and this product worked great for us, it was cool and comfortable around our necks and stylish. One side was a Mickey Mouse theme and the other was plain black with red lettering of our last name, totally reversible could use both sides. Overall I loved this product, Tammy was very helpful in answering all my questions and I received my finished product in a timely fashion.

I don't plan to spend much on my wedding gown so I'm looking into buying one online with China suppliers. I know it is very risky so I'm wondering if anyone out there had similar experience.
Please post pics of your wedding gown where you bought online and indicate which supplier you bought it from. The more info the better! Much appreciated!

Beyond the Sound Bite: An Interview with Christopher Chabris, Ph.D. and Daniel Simons, Ph.D.
If someone told you to keep your eye on a bouncing ball, do you think you would notice a gorilla entering into then departing your field of vision?
We kick off our summer reading series with the authors of "The Invisible Gorilla: And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us". In a most fascinating conversation with the cognitive psychologists, we explore key elements of behavioral science and many of its applications to decision-making including the myth of intuition, the illusion of knowledge (e.g. Amaranth), and the appeal of confidence and certainty ("...we prefer people who are confident even when we have all the information we need to see that they are less accurate in what they are saying."). Bernie Madoff, anyone?
Investors seeking to gain a better understanding of their own investment decision-making process will find the time spent listening to this podcast as time well spent.

Hardcore turn based strategy where Nazis could win the war!
Historically accurate games, or games that set the table for potential alternate histories are not as rare as some would think, but they are certainly not beasts that lend themselves to casual play. That is why Third Reich, a great turn based strategy and tactics top down game remains virtually unknown to the general public, while for the lover of simulated war gaming, this is known as a beloved stepping stone game. Now, even within those players that want to have access to a carefully designed simulation, there are players who also want to have fun. And boy, can you have fun with this one! The game puts you in the shoes of a general, issuing orders, moving the troops around while insuring that the supply chain is not broken. The game allows you to intervene at the level you want to, but for the most part you will want to keep an eye on the larger strategic picture, where you will decide the macro strategy to be enforced. While there are delays between orders being issued and these orders being executed, as well as other pre-programmed behaviors, you can still focus on every level at a time and only choose to dwell with the level of attention you are willing to put into the game. So, if you want a carefully plotted simulation of a battlefield and don't mind a Spartan game interface, this is the game for you. You can recreate history, rewrite history and know that the game can represent WWI combat reality at the most basic of levels as well as globally.
Game review
This is the best strategy game I have ever played and I am playing strategy games over 25 years. It has the best balance between complexity, unit and resource management and playability. It has numberless tactic and strategic options crucial for re-playing characteristic. It has very good solution for naval, air and amphibious warfare, solution which are, in most cases, crucial for game success. It has "What If" ability with very realistic outcome but in this part it need more and it has more with 4th edition rules and in, let's say, next generation of the same game called Advanced Third Reich. Unfortunately, 4th edition rules are not in computer game. Main flaw of this game is that it is very old made in very old programming language and it is not adapted to modern standards of single and multiplayer playing. I really hope that someone will make a remake of this game.

There were no bananas but a brace of bagels on Friday when Russian Maria Sharapova dismantled the World No. 1 Amelie Mauresmo to reach her first US Open final.
Former Wimbledon champion Sharapova rolled over Mauresmo with a 6-0, 4-6, 6-0 win to post her first career victory in four tries over the reigning Australian Open and Wimbledon champion.
Sharapova finished the match the way she started, needing just 24 minutes to win the first set 6-0 and 25 minutes to easily bagel Mauresmo again in the third.
"It was tough to get broken in the last game of the second set, but I hung in there and just kept going," said Sharapova, who had to be reminded by her volatile father Yuri to eat a banana to keep her strength up in the middle of her quarter-final match. "I'm not done yet. I'm thrilled to be in the final."
The 19-year-old Sharapova was to play second seed Justine Henin-Hardenne yesterday for the Grand Slam title.
Five-time major title winner Henin-Hardenne survived a scare from 19th seeded Jelena Jankovic on Friday, posting a 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 come-from-behind win.
Sharapova hammered 20 winners to reach her first Grand Slam final since winning Wimbledon in 2004.
Sharapova hit aggressively from the baseline and had Mauresmo on her heels throughout most of the 1 hour 35 minute match at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"I had a terrible record against Amelie and that ended today," Sharapova said. "I have a terrible record against Justine so hopefully that's a good sign."
Sharapova went to work right away by taking the early break in the first game of the opening set. In a sign of things to come, Mauresmo double faulted and sliced a backhand long.
Bidding to become the first French woman to win a US Open, Mauresmo had a dismal 30 percent success rate on first serves in the opening set and finished with a total of 38 unforced errors.
Mauresmo came to New York on a high after winning two Grand Slams this year but that new-found confidence was nowhere to be found against Sharapova.
The players stayed on serve for the first nine games of the second before Mauresmo got her first break of the match to grab the set 6-4.
In the third set, Mauresmo's earlier problems returned to haunt her as she served poorly and couldn't find an answer for Sharapova's stinging backhand.
Serving for the match, Sharapova opened with a double fault but then came up with another backhand winner to clinch the victory.
The Belgian second seed Henin-Hardenne has made it to all four Grand Slam finals this year but she had to earn this berth as the 21-year-old Serb Jankovic gave her all she could handle.
A heavy underdog going into the match, Jankovic came out with more intensity, surprising the 2003 US Open champ by stepping up her attack on big points.
Jankovic, who advanced further in the US Open than ever before, closed out some long rallies with flash backhands and clinically sliced drop shots which brought cheers from the crowd and a big smile to her face.
But she lost her nerve in the seventh game of the second set when she argued a call with the chair umpire. She was one set up and holding 4-2 lead in the second when she got distracted and failed to win another game in the match.

Tell Trudeau to End Canadian Commercial Seal Hunting
by Sheryl Fink, Director of Wildlife Campaigns in Canada, International Fund for Animal Welfare
— Our thanks to the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) for permission to republish this article, which first appeared on their site on March 15, 2016.
It's nearly spring in Canada. The snow is beginning to melt, the maple sap is flowing, and the ice floes on the east coast will be stained with the blood of seal pups.
We've known for years that Canada's commercial seal hunt doesn't make economic sense. Just last year, secret government documents showed that the Canadian government is spending $2.5 million each year to monitor the commercial seal hunt, more than twice the value of the hunt itself!
Even more shocking is the tens of millions more that have been spent over the past two decades on subsidies, bailout loans, and other financing for the sealing industry. Money spent to try to find ways to make seal meat palatable, or sell seal penis energy drinks in Asia; millions wasted on failed attempts to defend the seal hunt at the World Trade Organization and promote seal products overseas.
After two decades of government support, the seal industry is in the worst shape ever. Canada has lost major international markets for seal products, with bans now in 35 countries. The fur industry is in a major slump, only a few hundred active sealers remain, and processors say they have stockpiles of skins sufficient for several years.
So why is the Canadian government financing the expansion of an industry with no future?

TotalCurve – Feel confident & sexy with more youthful looking breasts.
It's all part of being a woman… It seems that no matter how well we eat, or exercise, or take care of ourselves, our breasts begin a slow but steady sag south…
… Dragging our self-esteem and confidence down with them.
Some women choose to combat the effects of aging on their breasts with surgical lifts or implants. But… UGH!
It's all so painful, costly… and awfully EXTREME.
The 2-Step Daily Breast
Enhancement Therapy System
Here at Total Curve™, we believe that ALL women deserve to feel confident and sexy with more youthful looking and feeling breasts – without putting their health and lives at risk with extreme surgeries!

More than just a cream or another daily vitamin, Total Curve™ is a complete breast enhancement therapy program that works both internally and externally to help tone and reshape your breasts for a more youthful appearance.
Let's take a look at how each component contributes to an overall improvement in the appearance of your breasts:
PART1: Total Curve™ Daily Supplements
With a Series of Natural, SAFE Phytoestrogens That Naturally Increase Overall Breast Volume!
The overall size and fullness of your breasts is impacted by the presence and ongoing shift of hormones like estrogen.
Woman with Pills. Total Curve Daily SupplementSo the foundation of the Total Curve™ System is a Daily Supplement that contains a series of natural, safe phytoestrogens…
… Which naturally mimic the action of estrogen to further firm and lift your breast tissues.
It has also been formulated to contain a variety of herbals, nutrients, antioxidants and hormone balancers that promote overall breast health while reducing symptoms of PMS, menopause, diminished sex drive, vaginal dryness, and more.
PART2: Total Curve™ Lifting & Firming Gel
With Volufiline™, Clinically Proven To Increase Breast Size By Up To 8.4% In Less Than 60 Days!
Next, you apply Total Curve™ Lifting & Firming Gel to your breasts every day and watch over the next 60 days as it begins delivering vital cell-plumping action directly to your breast tissues.
Volufiline™ contains sarsasapogenin, which stimulate lipogenesis – which simply means it interacts with the fatty tissue in the breast, causing the fat cells to grow in quantity and volume.
So you can enjoy enhanced breast fullness, contours, and cleavage, without any side effects, health risks, or damage to the surrounding structure of your breasts!
And the Total Curve™ Lifting & Firming Gel has been formulated with an ideal 3% concentration of Volufiline™ for maximum results for as long as you continue using the Firming Gel. Contd…..

Should Kids Be Allowed to Walk to School Alone?
Is Your Child Allowed to Walk to School Alone?
With kids heading back to the classroom, many parents are figuring out the logistics of getting their kids to school each day. Are they taking the bus, being dropped off, or walking it alone? Before making the decision to let your child be in charge of getting to school on time, there are several things to consider.
Start by checking out the trek to school. How many streets are involved? Is your child familiar with the route? Can he hook up with a walking buddy? And the understanding of staying away from strangers is essential. Gavin de Becker has a few suggestions, including taking the Test of Twelve before considering letting kids stay home on their own or riding bikes to school. It might also be worth making a call to your local police department. Why? Because letting your child walk to school unattended just might be against the law in your neighborhood.
That's right — across the country there are towns where you, as a parent, can be punished if your child walks it alone. Schools and officials are chiming in by setting an age they feel is old enough for making their way to school by themselves. There's no magic number for what the right age is, but shouldn't it be a parent's decision?
Is your child allowed to walk to school alone? Tell us below.

The Saatchi Gallery is in a right swanky part of London town near Sloane Square on the King's Road. It's right swanky let me tell you. But this swanksville vibe contrasted sharply with what was inside and on the walls. We caught a very bleak art exhibition about extreme poverty in Russia. It was unrelentingly depressing with the huge blown up images of cocks with runny growths on the ends being particularly harrowing. To cheer us up, I took a picture of a coy looking bear. Check him out below. Awwwww...

Last year WhatsApp had announced that it has 1-Billion active users every month, guess what, the number has now increased to staggering 1.3-Billion users every month. The number of daily users has also crossed the 1-Billion mark. WhatsApp has also been extraordinarily successful in implementing the Snapchat inspired Stories feature into status.
Other interesting statistics include 55 billion messages exchanged every day across 60 supported languages. A whopping 1 billion videos are shared on a daily basis while the number of photos stands at 4.5 billion. WhatsApp has been announcing new features in a very gradual manner and the latest one to make it to the final build was the ability to send any files to contacts.
Interestingly WhatsApp has grown more than two folds after it was acquired by Facebook in 2014. At the time of acquisition, WhatsApp had only 450-Million users on board. India has been one of the strongest markets for WhatsApp, in February this year the company announced that the active users in India have clocked an impressive 200 million.
"As we celebrate this milestone, we're committed more than ever to bringing you more useful features to enjoy, while delivering the reliability, simplicity, and security you expect with WhatsApp"- CEO, Jan Koum.
Acquiring users to the tune of Billions is no easy task and it is noteworthy to see how the user base has doubled in the last 2-3years. Unlike other messaging services WhatsApp has been very selective of the features they introduce. For instance, WhatsApp was late to the party when it comes to the video chat feature yet it was successful. In all likelihood, Facebook is expected to start monetizing from WhatsApp by introducing business integration.

text: Albert Camus – The Stranger Tl; dr – (Then read the book instead, you won't regret it.) In The Stranger Camus uses imagery of nature in an otherwise simply worded text to ultimately express the absurdity of the human condition, and the over-powering steadfastness of nature. "Aujourd'hui, maman est morte. Ou peut-être hier, je ne sais pas." Camus' style of writing is simple and neutral in comparison to the main events of the book. This style reflects the oddly calming existentialist view upon life which is portrayed. Arguably the sole purpose is for Mersault (and perhaps Camus too) to...Read More

Graffiti, A Movement: Judgements and Valuations — People have been distributing unsolicited art to unappreciative recipients since long before Sylvester Stallone left his "movie prop" on the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum, but it does seem to have become a trend these days. "The bronze Rocky statue, commissioned by Stallone himself, was originally placed atop the Art Museum steps, but it has been moved several times over the years because officials thought it was not art." – ABC 6 (Philadelphia) This begs the question of course: what is art?

When you start your own business, there is a natural temptation to trumpet your accomplishment to the world. Historically, the "go to" tactic was the grand opening celebration. This is still an accepted practice, and I did one myself when I launched my franchise business, but you need to know that a successful grand opening won't necessarily translate into immediate customers or clients.
Think of the grand opening as an introduction to the community. It's a way to meet potential clients, but more importantly, it signals business partners, your bank, community leaders and even employees that you are a viable business.
So take your time when you are planning your grand opening. Keep in mind the expression: "You only have one chance to a make good first impression." Your grand opening will define who you are and what you offer, so a big blowout is not as important as making sure your customers or clients understand your business and the benefits they will receive when they become customers or clients.
Think your grand opening activities through. Merely handing out balloons or serving popcorn and soft drinks doesn't translate into a sales pitch (unless you market balloons and popcorn).
For my grand opening, I handed out small cards listing our home care services, and guests had to visit with four of my staff members to learn about each one of services we offer. When the card was signed by all four staff members, the visitor was entered into a drawing for an iPad.
This helped ensure that my potential clients were educated about what we do, and the drawing was the incentive to complete the card.
Of course prior to the grand opening, I sent out a press release, did some advertising in the local newspaper, and distributed direct mail invites and posted it on my website.
Remember that the grand opening is merely the first volley in your battle for recognition, and by all means leverage the power of the grand opening, but it not the be-all and end- all. Follow up your grand opening with continued outreach and communication with anyone attending the grand opening.
Being an entrepreneur is a 24/7 endeavor, so your grand opening is only the first step towards your ultimate success. Plan accordingly.

Who wants to break this unity?
Massive protests are going on nationwide against the institutional murder of Rohith Vemula, a Dalit research scholar and a great political being from the Central University of Hyderabad. These protests are not for a single student or against a single incident. They are against a system, which has been tactically killing Dalit and marginalised students in the university systems in India. Right from the very start, these systems were inaccessible to a majority of students from the oppressed communities; now, in an era where the number of universities and colleges are rising and more students are coming into them, the effort is to find various ways to preserve the 'purity' of the Brahminical academia. This agenda of the oppressors is strongly backed by the current government at the centre, led by the biggest Brahminical party in India.
The incidents that lead to Rohith's death date back to the days he decided to become active in campus politics. A Dalit student who is ideologically Marxist and fluent in language is an immediate threat to the ABVP. During the Vignesh Chathurthi of 2014, Rohith posted a poem by the Telugu revolutionary poet Sri Sri on Facebook, mocking the Brahminical nature of such celebrations. Nandanam Vishnu Dutt, a BJYM leader from Lingampally and brother of Nandanam Susheel Kumar, filed a case against this Facebook post. That evening, the police took away Rohith for questioning; he was later released after his comrades protested at the police station.
A few months later, a photo was posted on Facebook along with allegations that Rohith had torn ABVP banners. Rohith posted a clarification note on Facebook describing the actual sequence of events where he was surrounded and abused by the ABVP members. The most recent row, which culminated in a false case against five Dalit scholars including Rohith, was similarly bogus. Even the Hyderabad Police Commissioner had stated in an affidavit that the case was cooked up and the alleged assault or attack did not take place.
The incidents that lead to Rohith's death date back to the days he decided to become active in campus politics. A Dalit student who is ideologically Marxist and fluent in language is an immediate threat to the ABVP. During the Vignesh Chathurthi of 2014, Rohith posted a poem by the Telugu revolutionary poet Sri Sri on Facebook, mocking the Brahminical nature of such celebrations.
After two weeks of this affidavit, the university administration and executive council decided to expel the five students without considering any proof or evidence presented by them. For this purpose, they found a suitable Proctor – Alok Pandey – who is an RSS pracharak on the social media. The pressure from the MHRD, the local MLC Ramachandra Rao and the central minister Bandaru Dattatreya was also clearly visible. Despite this clear and evident meddling, the MHRD minister Smriti Irani now shamelessly claims that her government cannot interfere in the 'autonomy' of a Central University.
It is not for the first time that UoH is bending over backwards to keep the BJP placated. One year ago, during Sukoon, the annual cultural fest in UoH, an ABVP leader broke a wall of the Men's Hostel–H. After a long protest by the SFI, the administration released the expulsion order. But miraculously, after one week, the punishment was diluted to just a hostel rustication. It appeared clear that pressure from MHRD played a role there too. By then, it had become obvious that the MHRD and the central government were willing to go to any extent to save the ABVP cadre, who on their behalf were instigating religious and fundamental politics all over India at the cost of the lives of the marginalized and the minorities. In fact, it is known that the BJP's very ascendancy to power has been paved by bloodshed, riots and massacres. And it is Rohith's speaking out against one such communal riot - which broke out in Muzzafarnagar, UP, in the run up to the 2014 elections - that led to the events that culminated in his death.
So, it is clear to us that the prolonged torture by the state (through the university administration) and the Sangh's fundamental politics were the factors that led to the circumstances leading up to Rohith taking his life. This is the reason why we are seeing an unparalleled united student movement today so that these kinds of institutional murders can be prevented. The unprecedented solidarity across student movements that we are witnessing today must be seen in this context.
This post is also a clarification to an article published by Hindustan Times on January 22, titled "Lal Salaam to Jai Bhim: Why Rohith Vemula Left Indian Marxists" written by Jashwanth Jessie. The article says:
"His disillusionment with the communists happened when he discovered that the boys and girls who had given up faith in god could not bring themselves up to abandon their faith in the caste system. He quit the SFI after he was discriminated for his caste by the so-called comrades who he hoped would deliver him and his people from this wretched social order. The treatment meted out to Rohith is public knowledge and even Dheeraj Paleri, the leader of SFI's Hyderabad university wing, admits that he was ill-treated by a few cadre because of which he had to leave the organisation."
Nowhere have I mentioned that Rohith faced caste discrimination in the SFI. What I had written in a Facebook post was that there was one individual in the organization who had issues with him, with me and with many of us for a variety of reasons. This person was a dominant leader, who many of us felt was autocratic. Owing to the dissent of many comrades, he was later expelled from the SFI state committee. This happened as part of routine organizational procedures within the SFI, which allows for dissent and scope for corrective measures.
"BJP's very ascendancy to power has been paved by bloodshed, riots and massacres. And it is Rohith's speaking out against one such communal riot - which broke out in Muzzafarnagar, UP, in the run up to the 2014 elections - that led to the events that culminated in his death."
The fact is that Rohith maintained very good relationship with all of us in the SFI even after he joined the Ambedkar Student's Association. Rohith was a sensible critic. He kept a critical position in all the organizations he worked with, a quality I believe is exemplary in an activist. He studied and applied dialectics in his world view.
I suspect that the intention of Jashwant Jessie's article is to keep the SFI and ASA-HCU at two poles. The two organizations have contested and won in UoH students' Union elections three times in alliance, and such an alliance is possible in the future too. When Rohith left SFI, the President of SFI-HCU was a Dalit and one of Rohith's close friends. There have been healthy debates between the SFI and ASA, and it would not be apt to see the two as political enemies. Both organizations, however, do have a common political enemy: the ABVP. The two organisations together have played an important role in ending the decades' long ABVP rule in UoH. Both organisations have found themselves at the receiving end of the ABVP's vicious attacks, including physical attacks on its members.
From the very beginning of this protest, SFI has supported ASA and has been a part of the protest to revoke the suspension. The day after the first incident (August 3, 2014) the police picked up the then Union President Vincent Benny, former president Dontha Prashanth and ASA leader Ashok in connection with the fake complaint booked by ABVP leader Susheel Kumar. SFI was part of the protest demanding the immediate release of the leaders, when students occupied the VC's chamber. The Joint Action Committee for Social Justice -UoH formed by fourteen organizations in the campus to revoke the illegitimate action against five Dalit scholars includes active members from SFI too, including the present students Union President Zuhail KP. SFI had won the last election in alliance with Tribal Students Forum and Dalit Students Union.
Having laid out the role and actions of the SFI in the events that have unfolded at the UoH, I come back to the Hindustan Times article, which makes false claims on why Rohith Vemula left the SFI; it is on this basis that the article goes on to make larger claims on the position of the Left vis-a-vis caste. I am curious to know the intent behind such an article. This comes at a crucial juncture, when a plethora of progressive forces are coming together to demand justice for Rohith. As a part of this movement, I wonder whether such discussions can lead us anywhere in what I see as a battle against the institutional murder of marginalized students in our campuses.

At the intersection of high-quality healthcare and the most affordable costs imaginable, sits a jewel of a hospital: Health City Cayman Islands (HCCI), just an hour's plane ride from Miami.
At a time when self-insured employers throughout North America are struggling with the inflated costs of employee benefits packages—and failing to find this unique combination of 50% savings accompanied by quality outcomes that meet or exceed the best American hospitals—they are discovering this tertiary care, 104-bed Center of Excellence.
Founded by U.S.-based Ascension, the largest nonprofit health system, and Narayana Health, this Joint Commission International (JCI)-accredited facility is nestled in the eastern districts of Grand Cayman for peace and tranquility.
"Ascension's objectives for the partnership in the Cayman Islands were to extend our mission into the Caribbean, create a destination for high-quality, low-cost healthcare, and determine what we might bring back to our U.S.-based sites of care," says John Doyle, executive vice president, Ascension. "We are very pleased with the progress of Health City Cayman Islands relative to the quality of care, the experience of the patients and the efficiency of the operation. We believe there is much for our country's healthcare system to learn from this example."
With sophisticated, modern technologies and the most innovative operational designs, Health City is already attracting many high-profile, mid- to large-size employer groups.
Simply stated, they like what they hear and see.
Many of these companies are waiving deductibles and co-pays to incent employee utilization of this benefit option. Here's why: Even after factoring in the cost of travel and accommodations for the employee and a companion, the savings are extraordinary and can significantly lower a company's total healthcare spend.
Driving adoption of the HCCI model rests upon key benchmarks.
Quality Performance & Outcomes
HCCI uses 90 Key Clinical Performance Indicators and International Patient Safety Goals monitored monthly. Here are some validated results: <1% infection rate; <1% readmission rate; 0% incidence of bedsores; and door-to-balloon (angioplasty) time for emergencies less than 90 minutes.
Bundled Pricing: Knowing Total Costs Up-Front
All-inclusive pricing transparency relieves employers of administrative burdens surrounding coding, billing and claims adjudication. Pricing bundles include consultations; pre- and post-operative investigations such as labs, X-rays, MRIs and CT scans; admission charges; physician's surgical fees; operating room fees; anesthesia fees; implant cost; room and food charges; medications; post-operative physiotherapy; and transportation. All physician visits up to two weeks post-treatment are also included.
Volume … That Speaks Volumes
Studies show that the higher the volume of patients in a hospital and the more experienced the surgeons, the better the care.
HCCI is modeled upon the 25 hospitals across 14 cities in India operated by Narayana Health and noted worldwide for their efficiency and quality. The Narayana cardiac hospital performs 40 heart surgeries a day for less than $1,600 a case.
Prior to joining HCCI, one cardiac surgeon was performing three to four open-heart surgeries every day, six days a week, over the past 10 years.
"That's more than what a typical U.S. surgeon does in a lifetime," says Dr. Chandy Abraham, MD, chief executive officer and director of medical services, who has held many senior administrative positions throughout his distinguished career.
Medical Team With Impeccable Credentials
All HCCI surgeons have 10 to 20 years' experience, backed by extensive education and training.
For example, an HCCI fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with 10+ years' experience as an arthroscopic and joint replacement surgeon has performed 4,000 orthopedic surgeries, 600 joint replacement surgeries, 1,000 arthroscopies and 700 arthroscopic ligament (knee) reconstructions.
HCCI purchases only the best heart valves and orthopedic implants, with all services supported by a robust electronic medical record system to augment clinical care.
Legal Recourse
The hospital and all of its physicians are covered by malpractice insurance. Under Cayman Islands law, any patient can sue for economic damages. Thus far, there has been no such litigation against Health City Cayman Islands in its three years of operation. Low-premium insurance is available to cover the costs of complications, should they occur.
Optimizing the Patient Experience
Concierge-level care is provided by a dedicated, international patient care team that helps each patient to navigate the process. Personalized guidance begins from initial contract, through on-the-ground and the in-hospital stay and with follow-up care at home and beyond. Patients typically stay between 3-14 days, depending upon the procedure and rehabilitation needs, with every effort made to ensure a rapid return to work.
A single point of contact coordinates the initial Skype consultation with surgeons, and the sharing and transfer of clinical records, X-rays and scans. As a patient advocate, the care team coordinator handles flight reservations, greets patients at deplaning and escorts them through immigration and customs. This service also includes hotel accommodations, on-island transportation and sightseeing as requested, as well as coordinated follow-up care in the home country.
Service Lines
Medical specialties offered at Health City Cayman Islands include Adult & Pediatric Cardiology; Electrophysiology; Adult & Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery; Adult & Pediatric Orthopedics & Sports Medicine; Neurosurgery; Spine Surgery; Urology (HIFU); Pediatric Endocrinology; Pulmonology & Sleep Lab; GI & Bariatric Surgery; Colorectal Surgery; Medical Oncology; and pharmaceutical support for treatment of Hepatitis C, HIV and more.
Robust Marketing
HCCI continues to host delegations of employers, healthcare business purchasing coalitions and other benefits influencers. Representatives are actively meeting directly with organizations such as the Northeast Business Group on Health and the Pacific Business Group on Health. They also visit employers of all sizes and in every industry, and contract via relationships with Third Party Administrators, brokers, benefits consultants and other intermediaries.
Companies in the East and Central regions of the U.S. dominate discussions with HCCI, with growing interest among those in the Midwest and West Coast as well as Canada, the Caribbean and Central America.
"What I think American employers like most about HCCI is the quality and affordability of our services, while the Canadians are interested in reducing wait times for surgery and some of the Caribbean countries simply don't have access to these end-to-end services," says Dr. Abraham. "We've been proposed as an example of the future of American and global healthcare, and expect to expand our footprint so that this model can serve an even greater number of companies and individuals worldwide."

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara University baseball team returns to Stephen Schott Stadium this week for a four-game homestand as they welcome the UC Davis Aggies and the Northwestern Wildcats to the South Bay. Wednesday's game against the Aggies will begin at 6 p.m. while the Broncos and Wildcats will face off in a 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon contest and finish up with a doubleheader on Sunday beginning at 1 p.m.
Tickets for each of the weekend's contests are available by calling (408) 554-4660 or by visiting the Leavey Center ticket office.
Santa Clara (10-10) is looking to get back to its winning ways after suffering a three-game sweep in Seattle over the weekend at the hands of the Washington Huskies. Outside of a 9-0 loss in Sunday's finale, Santa Clara's offense had a huge weekend, scoring 29 runs and pounding out 36 hits the rest of last week.
Eric Newton paced the big offensive week as he batted .429 in going 6-for-14 with a pair of homers, a double, six RBIs and five runs scored. Matt Long also had a fine weekend, highlighted by a 4-for-4 performance on Saturday against Washington where he reached base safely in all six of his plate appearances, collecting four singles and drawing a pair of walks.
Sophomore southpaw Donald Brandt also made his return to the mound in last Wednesday's 6-1 win over Sacramento State. After being off the hill for about a year following an elbow injury and subsequent Tommy John surgery, Brandt tossed four shutout innings and struck out a pair while allowing only two hits to earn his first win of 2006.
UC Davis (9-9) comes into the South Bay this week having dropped four of its last five contests. The Aggies suffered a three-game sweep at the hands of Oral Roberts two weekends ago and this past weekend split a two-game set with Utah Valley State. UC Davis is led offensively by Tyler LaTorre (.439, four 2Bs, HR, 11 RBIs) and Lukas Kirby (.308, four 2Bs, HR, 12 RBIs) while Jeremy McChesney (3-0, 2.70) paces the Aggie pitching staff. In the last meeting between the Broncos and Aggies, the Aggies prevailed 11-6 on Feb. 7 in Davis.
Northwestern (3-8) heads into this weekend's series on a four-game slide having also lost five of their last six ballgames. The Wildcats dropped two of three to Louisville two weekends ago and were swept on the road this past weekend by another squad of Wildcats, these ones from the University of Kentucky. This weekend's series with the Broncos will be the first three games of a seven-game WCC swing for Northwestern as they will also play a single game at Loyola Marymount before a weekend series next week at Pepperdine. The Wildcats are led offensively by the bats of Antonio Mule (.455, two HRs, eight RBIs) and Jake Owens (.408, two doubles, a triple, HR, and three RBIs).
Following this home-stand, the Broncos will travel to the big island of Hawaii for a four-game set against Hawaii-Hilo from March 25-27.

I still have to find a way to eliminate my wasteful habits when it comes to food and leftover ingredients. What kinds of ingredients do you buy that end up being thrown away because you forgot about them? Guilt gets the better of me when leftover ingredients turn green or collect mold and I have to chuck them. Onions and garlic are not a problem – I use them almost everyday, but these are the ingredients that spoil because of my negligence: celery, fresh herbs, ginger, scallions and cucumbers.
I am less wasteful with cucumbers and scallions, but fresh herbs, celery and ginger are the ingredients that I tend to use once and forget to use again.
Let's take ginger. At times, I'm able to find small pieces so when they end up in the trash, I don't feel as guilty. One day, the supermarket sold only large chunks and I was too embarrassed to ask the manager if he'd sell me only half (he would have booted me out of the store).
Someone gave me advice about freezing fresh herbs, but I wasn't sure I could do the same with ginger. So after using a small quantity, I wrapped it well in plastic and put it in a place in the fridge where I would notice it right away so I could use it again.
This chicken with ginger recipe that I found on the Net is a genuine "quickie." I tried to retrieve the link but could no longer find it. All I remember is that it had the words "rec food recipes and Edoc" in the URL.
This meal triggered fond memories of great meals served at Chinese restaurants (those were the days I ate out a lot because cooking was anathema to me).
The recipe is good for one person, so I doubled the quantities. When I say "2 skinless boneless chicken breasts", this is the quantity I'm referring to:
Supermarkets don't sell one breast, you'd have to go to a special butcher shop for individual quantities, but this supermarket tray with 2 breasts should be enough for two people, with leftovers for a second meal.
You'll need these ingredients:
2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
5 tbsp vegetable or peanut soil
1 cup thinly sliced onion rings
2 tbsp minced garlic
3 tbsp finely shredded ginger root (tip: if you don't have time to shred them, slice them into ultra thin strips and then mash them with the back of a wooden spoon to let their juices out)
4 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp sugar
3 stems scallions, chopped as in the picture below
Cut chicken breasts into small bite-size pieces (about 3/4 inch in diameter). Heat oil in a skillet. Add onions and garlic and cook until onions turn golden brown. Add chicken pieces. Stir frequently to avoid the chicken from sticking. Cook until chicken is no longer pink.
Blend ginger, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar. Add this mixture to the chicken. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes (no harm in doing it for 5 minutes – you want to make sure that the chicken is well cooked). Stir in green onions. Serve with rice.
Another tip: I thought that the sauce wasn't enough so next time I will double the sauce quantity – adding more soy sauce and red wine vinegar. I would make sure though that the sauce does not overpower the taste of the chicken and ginger.
This is a good meal, what I'd call a dish for all seasons. To add some creative flair, you could add chopped cashews and use red onion (or sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving).
As for minimizing waste, the next time I try a recipe with an ingredient that I don't use often, I'll have a list ready of 2 or 3 recipes that use this same ingredient. I think it's what business gurus call "forward planning."

Q. Can two printers be used with one PC? My old HP OfficeJet has been a good one with a fax but it is not too good for scanning pictures. I can get a good quality HP scanner/printer for pretty cheap but it does not have a fax. I would like to keep my old one for sending and receiving faxes and use the new one for my pictures. Is this possible?
A. With today's technology you can easily connect multiple printers to your PC.
If all of the printers are USB, then it is only a matter of having available USB ports on your computer. Just install the drivers and connect the printer. If you need more USB ports you can pick up a USB hub at your local computer store.
When you do have multiple printers hooked up, be aware that one printer is the default. This is the printer that your documents will be sent to when you click on the print button of your application. If you want to print to the other printer you have installed you will need to select File and then Print to see the choices and select the printer you wish to use.
To set a default printer, go to the Printers and Faxes folder in the Control Panel. From here right-click on the printer you want to use as the default and select "Set as Default Printer."
If you are trying to connect multiple parallel port style printers, you will need to purchase a Printer A/B switch to connect them to your parallel port. The same considerations apply but before printing you will also need use the switch to select the secondary printer.

Bottled or Tap Water?Food, Travel Tips — By sarahpruitt on April 15, 2010 at 2:08 pm
The scene: a fancy restaurant in New York City. The players: you and your waiter. He poses a question: bottled or tap water? What do you answer? If you're thinking of ordering the expensive bottled stuff because you're worried about taste/quality/getting sick…DON'T!
Not only does New York have the largest drinking-water system in the country–delivering around 1 billion gallons of water a day through 6,000 miles of aqueducts, tunnels, and pipes—but our tap water has consistently ranked among the purest and tastiest in the world. In a blind taste test conducted by ABC News's 20/20 a few years back, even those who proclaimed themselves dedicated bottled-water drinkers rated tap water higher than popular brands including Poland Spring and Evian.
Just this week, New York Magazine tested tap water from 14 locations around the city—including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, Madison Square Garden, Grand Central Station and Central Park—and proclaimed it pristine and safe to drink (despite infinitesimal amounts of sodium, iron and other additions).
Of course, taste and quality are not the only reasons people choose bottled water—especially if those multi-million-dollar ad campaigns have anything to do with it. So let's go back to that restaurant we talked about. If you're trying to impress your date or your traveling companions by ordering the expensive bottled stuff…still DON'T! If your date complains that you're a cheapskate, just say with confidence that New York City tap water is some of the best water in the world, and that people have actually bottled the stuff for sale. If all else fails, remind them that it's Earth Day next week, and do it for the environment!

Creating the Trust
When it comes to the cost of creating the trust itself, you have a couple of options. You can purchase the necessary paperwork from an online document provider or you can enlist the help of a lawyer. The cost of a lawyer will vary depending on where you live -- attorneys in metropolitan areas tend to charge more than those in rural locations -- as well as the complexity of your estate and whether you're married and want a joint trust. If you just want a basic trust, it will cost less than if you want to safeguard against a spend thrift heir who might whip through his entire inheritance in six weeks. You can prevent such eventualities, but your documents must include the correct language and this may necessitate the help of a professional. If you hire a lawyer to draft your trust, plan on spending at least $750 if your estate is very basic and uncomplicated and a minimum of about $2,000 if it is not.
Funding the Trust
A trust is a useless, empty entity unless it's funded, which means you've transferred ownership of your property from yourself into the trust. Some of your property will probably require special conveyances. For example, if you own real estate, funding your trust requires creating new deeds for each piece of property. Some attorneys will include these additional costs in their flat fees for preparing your trust, but others will not. If you're thinking of using a lawyer, ask upfront what the fee includes so you're not unpleasantly surprised later.
Other Documents
A comprehensive estate plan covers myriad contingencies, so you might not want to just create your trust and fund it, then leave it at that. A pour-over will catches property you've neglected to transfer to your trust and it directs it into your trust at your death. You'll also need a will if you have minor children and want to name a guardian for them, and you can include this provision in a pour-over will as well. Although a trust can take care of your personal business if you become incapacitated, it won't include provisions for your personal needs in this event so you might want to give someone power of attorney for healthcare decisions. These extra documents may cost additional money, although some attorneys include pour-over wills and powers of attorney in their fees for trusts.
Trustee Compensation
Living trusts fall into two categories: revocable and irrevocable. If you form a revocable trust, you can manage it and its property during your lifetime, and you can name a successor trustee to take over for you in the event of your death or incapacitation. If you form an irrevocable trust, you must appoint someone else to run the trust for you and he will probably expect compensation. You can ask a professional trust company to take over this task or a friend, family member or attorney. You might want to leave your successor trustee a bequest in lieu of paying for his services because if he accepts payment, it's income and he must pay taxes on it.

Wireless Solutions
Victorian Digital Smart Meter Project
RFI was chosen to provide the wireless communications in an Victoria's electricity infrastructure upgrade to Digital Smart Meters. RFI was to provide a communications solution (@824MHz) that would enhance communications from digital smart meters through to the electricity distribution centres.
Gas Metering Solution
A NSW Gas supplier was required to install infrastructure including metering in a number of large apartment block developments across Sydney. Attaching a communications device to each meter in the building did not seem a logical option.
Energy Solutions
Doomadgee 264kW Diesel Hybrid System
Working with Ergon Energy, RFI designed and project managed the remote, isolated Aboriginal community of Doomadgee QLD wind farm. This 264kW solar farm is expected to save around 115,000 litres of diesel each year for power generation to the local diesel grid.
Flinders Island Hybrid Energy Project
The Flinders Island Hybrid Energy project will significantly reduce the use and importation of expensive diesel fuel by up to 60 per cent. RFI was selected by Hydro Tasmania for the solar PV design and construction, which involves integration of solar generation with the existing diesel power station. "Diesel fuel remains the single largest expense in these remote energy systems and using renewable energy makes good economic sense"
Yamba Sewage Treatment Plant
RFI completed the EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) for the Yamba water treatment facility. It is a roof mounted 45kW grid-connected system. Fixed guardrails around the roof edges were also supplied and installed. RFI successfully managed multiple sub-contractors in this project to deliver better outcomes.

While some might be tempted at times to touch pieces of art in a gallery, we heavily advise against petting these animal sculptures. Polish artist Marta Klonowska assembles shards of glass into amazing creatures inspired by baroque and romantic paintings. Abstracted and geometric, each brittle composition brings life to a collection of sharp slivers of vitrified sand.
Each animal created by Klonowska looks as though it has exploded, sending jagged pieces of itself outward like electrified fur. Perhaps a statement on the fragile nature of life or the danger of wild creatures, each animal seems to pulsate with a crystalline energy. She begins her compositions by building a metal structure that is then carefully covered with glass. Three dimensional forms emerge from hundreds of two-dimensional fragments, straddling the transition between an object in a painting and a real-world installation. Klonowska is most famous for her works depicting the canine companions of important historical figures that acted as living symbols of wealth and power.
Says Klonowska of her work, "My animal figures are part of historical paintings, where they play a secondary role to the sitters. In my art the animals perform as the principal actor. Animals are difficult to understand and it is difficult to communicate with them. My glass animals open therefore a new reality, which is different from ours. The sitters in the painting, the animals and the audience of my art perform in a kind of theatrical stage, where the different levels become indistinct. This clash of realities should make us think about the uncertainties of life."
Klonowska has received such important awards as the Artist in Residence at both the Cité International des Arts in Paris and Akerby Skulpturpark in Sweden. She was also a finalist for the Bombay Sapphire Prize in London.

Desperate times require desperate measures, and President Bashar al-Assad's decision to deploy Scud missiles against his own people looks to me like the act of a man who realises his days are numbered.
Not even the tyrannical Saddam Hussein, the last Ba'athist dictator who fired Scud missiles in anger, dared to use the Soviet-era missiles against his own citizens. While he was more than happy to use chemical weapons to slaughter innocent Iraqis, as he did at Halabja in 1988, Saddam saved his Scuds for his enemies. During the first Gulf War, they were used against coalition forces based in Saudi Arabia, and also against Israel.
Covering the war for this newspaper, I had to clamber into my military-issue protective clothing every time the alarm sounded for a Scud attack, as there was a general expectation that Saddam would fit the missiles with chemical warheads.
In the event it never happened, not least because, as we later learnt, the Americans made abundantly clear to Saddam the dire consequences he faced if he undertook such action. Fire chemical weapons against us or our allies, and we'll nuke Baghdad, was the essence of the first Bush administration's message.
Moreover, the experience of having a besieged Arab dictator threaten his enemies with weapons of mass destruction galvanised the international community into renewing its efforts to address the menace of proliferation. Disabling Saddam's WMD arsenal became one of the cardinal requirements of the ceasefire agreement.
But the fact that, more than 20 years later, there are genuine concerns that another isolated Arab dictator might resort to similar measures – simply to save his skin – suggests that we have much work to do before we have rid the world of this particular threat.
To date, the Scud missiles fired by the Syrian regime at rebel forces have contained conventional warheads, and are seen by intelligence officials more as a sign of Assad's increasing desperation than a dry run for a chemical attack. There remains the distinct possibility, however, that Assad will be tempted to fit the missiles with chemical warheads if, as even the Russians now seem to expect, his regime finds itself in a battle for survival.
Those who knew the mild-mannered ophthalmologist before his country was engulfed by a civil war tell me that, for all his attempts to ingratiate himself with the West, at heart Assad is a die-hard defender of the Alawite cause who believes that it is the fundamental duty of the Syrian president to defend his regime no matter what the costs.
If that is the case, then it would be prudent to take seriously this week's intelligence reports that the Assad regime has taken steps to prepare its chemical weapons arsenal for use "at a moment's notice". If Assad succumbs to a bunker mentality, he might be deceived into thinking the use of WMDs against his enemies is the only option he has left.
Irrespective of the eventual outcome of the Syrian conflict, the fact that chemical weapons are once more being talked about as a major security concern suggests that we still have a long way to go before the challenge of containing the threat posed by WMD has been accomplished.
Apart from the continuing concerns over Syria's chemical weapons, this week saw North Korea, another rogue state, successfully launch a satellite, thereby defying a number of UN Security Council resolutions that have banned Pyongyang from conducting the type of missile tests that succeeded in placing the satellite into orbit.
The options, though, for punishing North Korea for this deliberate act of provocation are limited, as the regime is believed to possess a stockpile of primitive nuclear weapons and enjoys the unqualified diplomatic support of China, which makes retaliatory action all the more problematic.
Sadly, the West's inability to hold the North Koreans to account for these actions will only lend encouragement to other regimes, such as Iran's, not to take seriously any Western threats of retaliation. North Korea has a long history of supplying missile and nuclear technology to the Islamic Republic which, unlike Pyongyang, has yet to acquire a nuclear weapons capability. But if the North Koreans can get away with putting a satellite in space, the Iranians may well conclude that the West is not serious about preventing them from acquiring the Bomb.
Last week a senior official in the Obama administration claimed it has reached a "tipping point" in the decade-long war against al-Qaeda's terror cells. But to judge by this week's events in Syria and North Korea, the much more serious matter of bringing the world's rogue states to heel is far from over.

It's maddening isn't it? When he's in the zone, he plays as if he has no peers, bullying his opponents into submission with a technique so effortless that it seems nothing should ever go wrong. But then everything does go wrong - his balance shifts ever so slightly off-centre, and like the stacks of pennies that fine-tune the pendulums of Big Ben, one miniscule misplacement throws the entire mechanism out of kilter.
To whom am I referring? Steve Harmison? ... or Marcus Trescothick? In fact, the description could apply to both. Today, we saw an angry riposte from the one man, and another depressing failure from the other, and yet it could so easily have been the other way around. That's the deal with these two performers. They are England's all-or-nothing men - 11 wickets here, a brace of single-figures there. As such they are probably the most inscrutable characters in the England dressing-room.
Harmison was as enigmatic as the Mona Lisa as he fronted up to the media this evening. The morning papers had been merciless in their criticism - "It's Stephen Harmlesson" mocked the Daily Express after his first 15 (wicketless) overs had been clattered for 78. Today's analysis read like a two-fingered salute - 15.4-4-47-4 - as his comments afterwards amply confirmed.
"I didn't feel right yesterday," he muttered through an uncharacteristically stony-faced expression. "I don't know [what happened], I just didn't feel right. I can't put my finger on it, but it doesn't frustrate me one bit. I went on the field yesterday the same way I did today. Everyone has an off day. The whole team has had an off Test match."
The debate about Harmison's form and fitness (physical and/or mental) is gathering steam as surely as the Ashes bandwagon is rolling into town (96 days and counting, in case you escaped last week's cake-cutting hype). Reports of a back problem have been doing the rounds of late, although Harmison's own take on the situation implied it might be more of a soft-tissue issue further up his spine. "There's something in my side/back area that's causing concern," he eventually volunteered. "It's something new, but I'm not going to use that as an excuse because I didn't bowl very well yesterday."
Either it is a problem, in which case he needs a break from the grind and a chance to freshen up before the winter, or it isn't. But all this verbiage is about as substantial as the froth on a Starbucks cappuccino. Unless both he and Trescothick get run over by a baggage handler as they arrive at Brisbane Airport in November, there is absolutely no chance of England beginning their defence of the Ashes without them. For all the PC noises about avoiding dead-rubber syndrome, Harmison and Trescothick epitomise the singular lack of urgency about England's performance in this game.
Harmison didn't even try to hide his sense of "job done", as he flipped off his indifferent start to the game in a statement that dripped with complacency. "I've taken 20 wickets in four Test matches. Is that a worry? I don't think so. It will be a worry if somebody stops picking me, but I'm not worried that that will happen. I feel as though i contribute to the team, I feel as though I do a good enough job. Every time I pull that jumper on I feel as though I'm giving it everything. If 20 wickets isn't enough I'll have to work harder."
In actual fact, if England's stated aim is to get 20 wickets per Test every Test (as it should be), then Harmison's haul - as part of a four-man attack in a four-Test series - equates to precisely his share, no more, no less. It's all very egalitarian, but those are not exactly the sentiments that should be pouring forth from England's leading strike bowler. He's become the undroppable enigma, and he knows it.
Talking of undroppable, let's come back to Trescothick - a man who, famously, has been an automatic pick ever since he debuted against West Indies in 2000. "Marcus Trescothick has got five-and-a-half thousand runs in 75 Test matches for England," said Harmison, demonstrating an impressive head for figures (in fact it's now 5825 in 76). "He's a world-class performer, and that's the thing the whole country's got to realise. He's scored runs for fun [in the past] and he'll come back. If it had been a young lad, there might have been cause for concern. With Marcus, there are no concerns. If he goes through a bad trot, his good trot might be in Australia, which would be great for England."
The ridiculous thing is that it is probably true. Trescothick has managed as many runs in the series - 135 - as Kevin Pietersen produced in his single century at Headingley, leaving him with an average of 19.28, which is scarcely six runs healthier than the much-mocked Monty Panesar (his four not-outs in five innings notwithstanding). The only comparable period was his tour of woe in the Caribbean in 2003-04, when he strung together six single-figure scores in a row. England kept faith, however, Trescothick responded with 130 and 82 in the subsequent one-day series, and come the summer he was back on cruise control.
You see, it's all froth. Nine hundred and eighty-three words of it on this occasion, and apologies for that. England fly to Brisbane with a clutch of class performers whose form is currently temporary. They'll either be alright on the night or they won't be, and in the meantime we'll work ourselves into a lather trying to get into their heads. Welcome to the countdown to Ashes mania, 2006-07. It's going to be a fascinating and maddening few months.
