Working Life: Marco Avila, Vice President of Medical Affairs, Teva Europe
Pharmafile.com met with Marco Avila, Vice President of Medical Affairs at Teva Europe to discuss his life in the industry, his work ethics and the lessons he's learned throughout his career.
How did you begin your career in the pharmaceutical industry?
I've been in the industry over 20 years now. I'm from Costa Rica and a physician by training, so I've been close to the practice of medicine and patients from a very early age. I'm a person who always likes to approach different challenges, and I'm always looking for environments that are dynamic that can stretch me to achieve more. For that reason, I jumped from the practice of medicine into the industry. I was convinced I was making the right step, even when my family had concerns. I prefer to move into the unknown than never knowing what could have happened.
My first job was as a sales rep, and it's one of the experiences that I will never forget. Going into sales shaped me a lot because it helped me to understand the real goal of a patient when they are facing a doctor. It even helped me to see my friends and colleagues in a very different perspective. We all have different targets or objectives, but in one shape or form, we have to deliver results, and when I was there I learned that everything in life is a sale: I need to convince people, I need to convince my wife, I need to convince my son that what I do is meaningful and is valuable, and there's nothing wrong with that.
What experience have you gained from working across different continents and cultures over the course of your career?
After my third year in the industry, myself and my wife moved to the US and we were there with Eli Lilly for three years. It gave me the opportunity to go from a relatively small country in Costa Rica to a very big geography with almost 300 million people – a very advanced market and a completely different and new environment for me.
Going from different countries, for instance, from the US to China, was one of my first massive challenges – not just because of the size but also because of the cultural change. However, it enabled me to advance as a leader, as a person, as a communicator in a culture that has so many differences from the West. When I was in China, for the first six months I tried to understand the culture and this allowed me to be more culturally sensitive and aware – to affect people and deliver results, and there was also the massive benefit for my family and me.
After that, we moved to Europe, and when I joined the European office of AstraZeneca I remember I went into a meeting with respiratory professionals, and all of them had white hair – I was the only guy with black hair. I was surrounded by scientists from the R&D side in Sweden and the UK, and little by little I was able to adapt to the European cultural environment. Now I can say, after eight years in Europe, the way that I deal with a person from Spain is very different from the way I deal with a person from Sweden or Germany.
What would you say was your most valuable take away from that experience?
To be impactful. If I can walk the walk then people see that I have made an effort to understand the culture, rather than just remaining with my own background. If I want to be effective and grow, get out of my comfort zone and leave a legacy, I first have to demonstrate that I am willing to understand the reality and to adapt myself before I ask others to adapt to me.
You've been in your current role for just over a year – how are you finding it so far, and what challenges have you faced?
I really see my role as highly dynamic, diverse, challenging, deep, and broad because we have a broad portfolio spanning speciality medicines and generics. Leveraging the strengths of that portfolio is part of my learning, as well – I love to learn.
One of the key challenges, if I can highlight one, is the pursuit of talent. One thing is to manage our internal talent, but also refreshing that talent and attracting and developing talent from outside. It's my challenge, but it's also the challenge of the industry as a whole. The way we are approaching that challenge is two-fold: we have a strong programme that retains and expands the experiences of the people that we have in-house.
Secondly, from an external perspective, we have a lot of assessment from the outside so that we can anticipate the people outside Teva that could potentially be key players, both now and in the future. And, of course, I am always trying to find people better than myself – if I'm the smartest person in the room then I am not surrounded by the right people. Trying to find the right mix of science, passion for patients and an understanding of the reality of our commercial environment is what I would call an art form. It is not a straightforward game.
What advice would you give to junior colleagues who come to you seeking guidance on their career or looking to step into the pharmaceutical industry?
Firstly, make sure you invest your energy, money and time in securing a solid academic education – that, to me, has been very important. Secondly, don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. Why do I say that? Because when I reflect on situations when I have consciously decided to either take the road less travelled or to face the unknown – those are the situations where I have learned the most and been challenged the most, and have contributed the most to my growth as a person and as a leader. Thirdly, believe in yourself; believe that you are here with a specific purpose. To me, the purpose in life is that I can achieve and positively impact the lives of as many people as I can.
How do you still manage to push yourself out of your comfort zone in your current role at Teva?
On a daily basis, one of the ways is I try to understand areas beyond my own. I consider myself an enterprise leader; I don't consider myself just a medical leader. What do I mean by that? I'm always seeking to understand more – for example, the commercial element of the organisation.
The job that I do depends a lot upon others. In order to be impactful, I see it as a spider web that runs throughout the organisation. One of the things I do is push myself to get closer to areas that are not in my backyard in order to understand all of it so I can be more effective.
As I believe with any leadership position, I spend a lot of time with front-line colleagues, with medical scientists and sales reps in the field, trying to understand: "What are your obstacles? What are your hurdles? Are we listening to you? Are we doing what is relevant for you, or not?"
And as I get closer to them, I get closer to doctors. One of the key ways I get out of my comfort zone is to ask doctors: "How is Teva relevant for you? Are we relevant enough to your daily practice or not?" And when I do that, I hear, at the beginning, polite answers, and then people see that I am listening attentively and respectfully, so they say: "Maybe Teva can put more emphasis here or there, or approach this clinical programme in a different way." Asking the questions that we sometimes don't want to hear the answer to gets myself and my team out of our comfort zone.

I wanted to let everyone know I got the coolest package from Banga ever! And she has been so patient with me. We were having a problem with our furnace. So I stayed like a week at a friends with no internet connection and now I am to lazy to walk back out in the blizzard to get the camera.
I got a recipie book with some yummy stuff in it. I made honey mustard scallops for the friend we stayed with and the day after Christmas (which is Mama and kid day) I am going to make her banana foster french toast. I even got my Gran's cheesy potato recipie to put in already.
I also received these beautiful gift tags. They are hidden because I am going to use them as from Santa tags. Traditionally at our house each person get a gift and a from Santa gift. To keep them a surprise and to not let the 3 year old know we always use special paper and ribbon. I gave my mom a couple of the tags for her Santa presents. You have no idea how awesome I think the tags are and how special they made the gifts look.
I will bring in my camera tomorrow, I swear. But I am just TIRED of snow. We have gotten about 3 to 4 feet since Friday. Between the blizzard and the lake effect snow, I am moving to Aruba.

A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Olu Falae, has given more details on how he disbursed N100million he received from a leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, Tony Anenih, ahead of the 2015 elections.
The money was part of at least $2.1 billion allegedly diverted by a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, from arms purchase to politicians.
Mr. Falae has admitted receiving the funds from Mr. Anenih, a former chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees.
On Saturday, Mr. Falae told PREMIUM TIMES by phone that the fund was received through the account of his party, Social Democratic Party, before it was distributed to the state branches of the party.
He also dispelled the statements by some party members that they were not aware that the N100million was received by the party from the PDP, for the elections.
"It is true I received the money for the party and then it was distributed to the state branches of the party for onward distribution to other levels of the party," he said.
"The money came through the party's account and it was through this account that the monies were distributed.
"The account is there for everyone to verify. I can assure you that all the branches of the party in the states received the money."
Mr. Falae said it was unfair for some party members to claim that they were not aware of the donation, because their respective branches were informed and received the money.
"We have over 200,000 people in the party, am I supposed to go around telling every one that I have received the money," he asked.
Mr. Falae noted that once the party leaders were involved, they reached out to those at the grassroots.
"I have my integrity in tact," he said. "I was a former MD of a bank, I was a former minister and a former secretary to the government of the federation.
"Once they cannot link us to the Dasuki thing, they are coming up with all sorts of things.
"Based on my integrity, these allegations should be discarded. At 78, what will I be doing with public funds."

ruffle collar shirt, top dress, and shoes from Taiwan. white dress from H&M, pettiskirt from flea market, cardigan from thrift
I was really exited about a certain package I received on Friday. When the mail guy took out the box, I let out a pretty loud "OH MY GOD." SO EXCITE. Though, I'll be doing mostly homework on it.
I'm planning on sewing a dress when I have time! There's still a discrepancy between things I can design and things I can sew. I can make the pattern for it, but I don't know if it will work without trial and error, and dresses will take up a lot of muslin.
Soon after I got the machine set up, I sewed a peter pan collar using the materials I bought a couple months ago. I'd meant to make one a while back but never got around to it.
I hope I'll be able to make some nice things on this! I need more time to practice.
Love, Kaia

Ah! woe is me! poor silver-wing!
That I must chant thy lady's dirge,
And death to this fair haunt of spring,
Of melody, and streams of flowery verge,–
Poor silver-wing! ah! woe is me! That I must chant thy lady's dirge, And death to this fair haunt of spring, Of melody, and streams of flowery verge, —Poor silver-wing! ah! woe is me!
That I must see
These blossoms snow upon thy lady's pall!
Go, pretty page! and in her ear
Whisper that the hour is near!
Softly tell her not to fear
Such calm favonian burial!
Go, pretty page! and soothly tell, —The blossoms hang by a melting spell, And fall they must, ere a star wink thrice Upon her closed eyes, That now in vain are weeping their last tears, At sweet life leaving, and these arbours green, —Rich dowry from the Spirit of the Spheres, Alas! poor Queen! // John Keats
Happy hump day lovelies, some visual inspiration paired with some poetic genius to tide you until the weekend which, with much luck will see to us all at a much more rapid pace. Then again that will make it another week closer to Christmas and I am still no closer to even remotely starting that never ending list of gift shopping.
How are you guys going? Getting any closer to completing your holiday lists? Want to do mine as well?

Caller: 25-year old brother calling on behalf of his sister
Problem: Adderall addiction
Seeking: Intervention information with inpatient treatment program
Reason(s): The brother is worried that his sister is struggling with an Adderall addiction, but is afraid to bring it up to his parents. According to him, his sister admits to taking Adderall for non-medical reasons, specifically because she enjoys the pleasurable sensations she receives from the drug. He said, "I started looking up Adderall online and I was extremely surprised that it acts on the same reward circuit that stuff like meth does. I know that some people might not look at it the same way but my sister is just not acting like herself. I do not want to tell my parents because I am unsure whether they would believe me or what they would do to her if they did believe it." According to the brother, his sister did attempt to stop using the drug for a period. However, he said that the anxiety, extreme fatigue and depression that accompanied no longer using, ensured that his sister went back on the drug very quickly. He said, "I want to make sure that I know everything about getting her help. That I have information about places that can help her, maybe even have enough information to consider an intervention? I want to know everything I can do before I bring it up to my parents."

Sign-up here for regular updates on the progress of the Zero Waste Project, details of upcoming events and all that's happening in the world of Zero Waste.
06 October 2016
The contract to build a state-of-the-art energy-from-waste
plant for Edinburgh and Midlothian was signed today with
environmental services company FCC Medio Ambiente SA.
Environment leaders from the City of Edinburgh and Midlothian Councils joined FCC on Thursday (6 October) to finalise the 25-year contract to build and operate the facility at Millerhill, Midlothian.
In December 2014 FCC was named as preferred bidder by the partnership Zero Waste: Edinburgh and Midlothian to design, construct, finance and operate the plant. This will be fuelled by waste collected by both councils that would otherwise go to landfill.
The Councils have been supported throughout the procurement by Scottish Futures Trust, a Scottish Government-appointed body, which has brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to Zero Waste.
Construction is set to begin imminently, with the plant expected to begin operation in 2018.
Councillor Lesley Hinds, Environment Convener for the City of Edinburgh Council, said: "I am pleased that FCC will now be able to begin work on this state-of-the-art facility. In Edinburgh we have made great progress increasing the amount of waste we recycle. This new facility will provide a sustainable way of disposing of any waste that can't be recycled by using it as an energy source for locally-generated heat and power.
"The procurement of this project is an example of successful partnership working between the two councils, and will benefit both Edinburgh and Midlothian's zero waste strategies over the coming years."
Councillor Jim Bryant, the Cabinet Member for Economic Development at Midlothian Council, said: "This is another exciting milestone in an innovative project that will turn a derelict, brownfield site into an energy production centre.
"This represents another sizeable infrastructure investment in the Shawfair area. In addition to increasing recycling rates, the plant will produce electricity for the National Grid."
The contract to process up to 135,000 tonnes of mixed waste annually will provide a long-term, competitively priced solution for the recovery of value from the landfill waste collected by City of Edinburgh and Midlothian Councils.
It is hoped the project to treat both food and landfill waste on the site, creating renewable energy in the process, will help both authorities contribute to the national recycling target of 70% by 2025 and the national landfill diversion target of 95% by 2025.
A food waste treatment plant, which takes all of the food waste collected by the partner councils, is currently in operation on the Zero Waste Parc next to the Millerhill Marshalling Yard in Midlothian.

Quigo Technologies launched a private label version of AdSonar, their contectual advertising program, today.
Private Marketplace will allow publishers the ability to sell advertising on their site through the AdSonar interface, chose the advertisers that appear, and offering advertisers the ability to advertise on the sites they choose.
Quigo is also offering a different renevue split for publishers who sign up advertisers through Private Marketplace, as opposed to the rev share for those advertisers that Quigo has brought into the program. They offer full disclosure of the revenue share in the Private Marketplace Program.
Unfortunately, Private Marketplace is limited to those publishers who have at least one million page views per month. Many publishers who might have used Quigo's new program will fall under this page view requirement.
In an interview with Quigo CEO Mike Yavonditte, Pamela Parker of ClickZ News reports that AdSonar now has a higher average bid than the $.50 a click it soft-launched with.
On The Knot, the companies set a $0.50 minimum bid price, but Yavonditte says the average price has risen considerably since the product was soft-launched two months ago.
"The average bid price seems to be around $0.70 a click, which is obviously a healthy number. The marketplace will dictate where prices will go," he said.
Publishers who have signed onto Private Marketplace include USAToday.com, The Knot, iExplore, DenverPost.com and RockyMountainNews.com

arrive yesterday into Tuglha (15,000ft), passing through some
amazing villages and mountain scenery. Visiting one of these
villages, Pangboche, was an uplifting experience for all team
members. It was one of the most incredible and fascinating
mornings of the entire expedition so far.
The highest Lama of the village was kind enough to visit
the expedition at the local monastery. As expedition team
members usually go into the monastery to pay their respects
and monasteries are not that accessible, the Lama thought
it was a good idea to come outside and sit in the courtyard
in the sun. Amazingly enough, the sun shone directly on the
Lama. Everyone was truly touched during the ceremony and the
Lama gave our expedition an extra boost of higher power in
order for us to accomplish our mission and our goals of the
whole Team Everest '03 campaign.
The weather thus far is improving on a daily basis in typical
pre-monsoon fashion. Beautiful clear blue, high Himalayan
mornings with the sun melting the frost on our tents from
the previous night. I think all of the team gets energized
by the early morning warmth.
Support thus far from trekkers, climbers and the press as
we continue to Mount Everest Base camp has been overwhelmingly
positive. A Korean expedition and all its members took the
time at the end of a long day for their team to come by our
camp and wish us all good success. Disability awareness is
continuing to thrive throughout the world.
ascended very slowly from Pangboche at 3,800 meters (12,500ft)
to one of the oldest yak settlement villages in Nepal - Pheriche
at over 4,200 meters (13,800ft). This is the village that
we will be chartering a helicopter from at the end of the
expedition to fly back to Kathmandu. Pheriche was a welcome
sight as we all found the leap of around 1300ft a bit of a
hard push. We are functioning, living, camping as a team at
a height higher than any point in the continental United States.
Of all the villages in Nepal, Pheriche is possibly one of
the most accessible and everyone is enjoying the flat bottom
of this valley. We will spend another day here in Pheriche
to acclimatize, build team spirit, and enjoy the progress
we have made thus far.
All the local villagers are in awe of our expedition and
how far we have come. It is an amazing contrast sometimes,
because on one side, we have the media bringing us international
coverage, and on the other, we have basic grass roots awareness
building in the villagers of Nepal. If we can change the mind
of one villager in Nepal regarding the potential of people
with disabilities, why is changing the minds of so many in
the Western world so difficult?
members are feeling positive, although the cumulative effects
of the altitude can break even the most determined individuals
and hardened athletes. After our first night in Pheriche,
all members were anxious to day hike/stroll during our acclimatization
day. However, not everyone was up to the challenge due to
the altitude increase and opted to take a rest day. Gary S.
and Vince B. led the team members that were ready for an acclimatization
hike up the Chukkung Valley and ascended Chukkung Ri at approximately
18,000ft. Another group of team members ascended a different
ridge to approximately 17,500ft in order to acclimatize further.
After these acclimatization hikes and a day and a half at
this altitude, team spirits were for the first time at an
all-time low. You have to remember folks, we are a team of
29 individuals from all backgrounds - different abilities
and disabilities - living, operating and working as a team
in the most extreme of conditions. To revitalize the team
spirit, we read aloud all the numerous emails of encouragement
we have received from you, our supporters. The effect this
had on the team was awesome. Good positive thinking, support
and inspiration breeds very quickly.
mentioned in the last dispatch, Kim Smith has stayed behind
due to stomach problems and we had received word that she
was ten minutes from Pheriche, on her way to rejoining the
expedition. We immediately sent two Sherpa with hot chocolate
to accompany her. As it was later in the afternoon and the
fog was rolling in and the temperatures were dropping, I went
with the Sherpas to assure her safe arrival into the awaiting
arms of rest of the team. Huge clapping, laughing, crying
and a feeling of true renewed encouragement filled the spirits
of the team. We're whole again!
It even gets better. Nima Dawa Sherpa along with our other
high altitude climbing Sherpa sent word that they have established
our place at base camp and are awaiting our arrival. Next
it's Lobuche, Gorak Shep, then Base Camp! Team Everest '03
continues to move upward and onward. As Dennis Borel, the
executive director at the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities,
says: "Team Everest '03 will crush the stereotypes and
perceptions that are still held by so many toward the disability
Please continue to support our expedition, CTD and the improvement
of the quality of life for all people. You can do this through
emails, good wishes
and much needed financial
few words from team members to folks back home:
Barry Muth of San Antonio says hello to all of his family
and supporters.
Chris Watkins says hello to all of Canada and his family,
especially his kids.
Matt Standridge and Riley Woods, our Team Everest '03 mischief
makers, send many high fives to all their friends!
Erich and Lee from the Dallas Morning News appreciate the
hard work and dedication it takes to promote the Team Everest
'03 Expedition.
Ted Holmes, the Rogers family and Steve Bernstein all send
their hellos.
Janis Tupesis sends a HUGE thank you to all of his friends
and colleagues at the University of Chicago Hospitals for
their help in making this possible. His appreciation for all
the sacrifices you have made to let him be here is felt on
a daily basis!
Thank you again. You'll be hearing from us at our next stop!

This was our table! The circus in the book was black and white so we went with that theme. We covered a beach umbrella with gossamer using rubber bands and staples! The umbrella pole is halved and we put it in an outdoor umbrella stand. Easy! (Haha I say easy but I cried A LOT). We hung silver beads and silver and purple Christmas ornaments from the inside of the umbrella.
We decorated the inside of the tent with glittered bottles--just roll a clean wine bottle minus the label in modge podge and glitter!
Each place setting had a mercury glass bottle with each guest's name on it. Then there was an explanation about the bottle tent from the book. Then, I attached a special memory I shared with each guest
My group of girlfriends!
I may cry and get all worked up when it comes to doing my table, but in the end, it's always worth it. Nothing is more fun than a night out with girlfriends, and when your night out equals books for children, it makes it even better! Each year, we raise tens of thousands of dollars, and this year were are able to purchase $23,000 books! That's something to be proud of!! I'm already looking forward to next year's "Night Under the Big Top"! I've done a tent, so stay tuned to see what kind of tricks I have up my sleeve!

In a press release by the Sher Institute, they discuss comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) - a method in which DNA derived from a small egg chromosomal structure known as the first Polar body (PB-1), located immediately below the egg surface is tested. This testing aims to identify and then selectively fertilize only those eggs that are chromosomally normal and were thus deemed highly likely to be capable of developing into chromosomally normal embryos.
The results they report are good - a 74% live birth rate from a single cycle. In addition, they only transferred a maximum of two embryos, significantly reducing the risk of higher order multiples.
The same press release also mentions egg freezing using CGH and vitrification (a new method of rapid freezing of the ova, without causing damage to them) to freeze top-quality eggs for future use. 95% of the eggs frozen in the study thawed successfuly and 60% developed into viable embryos.

Flippa seller theshawshank has sold several sites in the home decor niche that all follow the same blueprint. His latest offering is https://flippa.com/2875575-home-site-140-monthly-adsense-earning-more-than-500uv-daily-no-work and is another in a line of decent-but-not-great home design niche sites that are one level above turnkey sites:
- https://flippa.com/2829821-pr1-home-site-250-adsense-revenue-in-september-low-cost-maintenance-no-work
- https://flippa.com/2849677-pr1-kitchen-site-5-average-earning-daily-up-to-400uv-daily-low-reserve
- https://flippa.com/2842328-powerful-adsense-site-with-137-adsense-earning-monthly-potential-for-growth
- https://flippa.com/2824432-pr1-home-site-238-adsense-in-september-video-proof-killer-machine-money
Besides their niche, these sites share a few characteristic traits:
- Low PR (0-1).
- Monetized with Adsense.
- Derive most of their traffic from Google Image Search, so theses sites are diversifying their traffic sources into more universal search.
- Facebook fans. Some of the sites have a widget on the homepage listing genuine fans.
- Posting schedule of up to five times a day. One way to get good traffic from Google is to update your site multiple times a day. So the seller just needs to keep up a frantic schedule for a month or a little longer and then flip the site. The seller theshawshank mentioned that he outsourced his article creation.
The sites are selling anywhere from $600-$2300. I think these are decent AdSense sites with good themes, although the written content has obviously been outsourced and doesn't read very well. Another issue is that the seller is grabbing the pictures off of Google Images. As the seller theshawshank has explained:
I get image from the original site and google image, but I write in post title about the owner of image, for example: "Colorful Patio Armchair Made of Recycle Materials by Dedon", I also give credit for the site owner.
This sounds okay for product images direct from the company's site, but sourcing images for your site from Google Images is just asking to get sued by the license holder of those pics.
These sites are ultimately making only a couple hundred dollars a month from Google AdSense for up to 5 articles a day with images. That seems like a lot of work for a meager payoff, but the new owners of these sites will probably be satisfied if the site makes around $100 a month at a more leisurely 3 or 5 times-a-week posting schedule.

From October 2, 2009, to February 7, 2010, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts will host the largest-ever retrospective of works by the celebrated British artist John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). J. W. Waterhouse: Garden of Enchantment is the first large-scale monographic exhibition on Waterhouse's work since 1978 and the first to feature his entire artistic career. This retrospective features some eighty works that are among the finest and most spectacular of the artist's production, on loan from public and private collections in Australia, England, Ireland, Taiwan, the United States and Canada. It will also present many of the artist's attractive studies in oil, chalk and pencil. Several of these works have not been exhibited since Waterhouse's lifetime. The exhibition has been organized by the Groninger Museum, the Netherlands, with the collaboration of the Royal Academy of Arts, London, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibition, which premiered at the Groninger Museum, will also be presented at the Royal Academy of Arts (June 27 to September 13, 2009), and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (October 1, 2009, to February 7, 2010).
In addition, the Tate has just agreed to allow Waterhouse's The Lady of Shalott travel to Canada to be a part of the exhibition. There is more information about the exhibition here.

2DMax with PowerGrid
2D algorithm combines texture and shape for superior code reading
2DMax is a 2D code-reading algorithm that handles a wide range of degradations to 2D direct part mark (DPM) code quality. 2DMax with PowerGrid technology combines both textural and geometric data to reliably read low quality 2D codes, including codes with defective quiet zones and finder and clocking patterns. 2DMax offers exceptional 2D code read rates and robustness on the most difficult and degraded codes.
2DMax with PowerGrid can correctly read 2D codes when vital elements of the DataMatrix code are missing or damaged. A traditional vision-enabled barcode reader uses a shape-based algorithm to locate the finder and clocking patterns to determine the proper code orientation and module size for DataMatrix codes. When there is little to no quiet zone or when the finder pattern or clocking patterns are blocked or missing, a secondary texture-based algorithm is needed to locate and read the code. 2DMax combines shape-based pattern searches and texture-based analysis that looks at the scene and locates texture resembling data modules clustered together. Once it has found the modules, it then works to determine the size of the modules and the overall size of the DataMatrix code. Then, the traditional 2DMax code reading algorithms take over to read and decode the data.

Questions over fairness and merits of Vancouver empty homes tax
In the weeks following the City of Vancouver's mail-out of pamphlets about the new empty homes tax, homeowners and experts have been debating the fairness of the measure, the first of its kind in Canada.
Rainer Borkenhagen, a semi-retired physician, worked and lived in Vancouver for more than 35 years, during which time he and his wife downsized from a detached house in Vancouver to a 700-square-foot condo not far away. For the last four years, they've made their primary residence on the Sunshine Coast, and maintained the Vancouver home, which they and their family members use year-round, for short stays.
Borkenhagen was upset to learn that, for the purposes of the city's new bylaw, his family's Vancouver home is considered "empty," meaning he could be on the hook for an $8,000 hike in his property taxes next year.
"There is something inherently unfair about this," he said.
Starting this year, Vancouver homes deemed empty will be subject to an additional tax of one per cent of the property's assessed value. For the purpose of the bylaw, a home is considered empty if it's not occupied by a tenant for at least 180 days in a year. That means properties that are currently empty need to be occupied by a tenant before July 1 in order to be excluded from the tax.
Anthonia Ogundele, chair of the Coal Harbour Residents Association, said a number of residents in her community have expressed concern and confusion about the tax, which they say will affect many of the area's homeowners who, for a variety of reasons, only use their downtown condos part-time.
There are probably thousands of other Vancouver homeowners in a situation similar to Borkenhagen, said Michael Geller
, a Vancouver architect and real estate consultant.
Geller said it's unfair to penalize those who own a secondary home in Vancouver for use as a "pied-a-terre." Pied-a-terre is a French term describing a secondary residence used for either a portion of the year or of each week, usually by a relatively affluent person.
"We should be welcoming people who want to make Vancouver their second home. The irony is these people are paying full property taxes and placing relatively little demand on municipal services," Geller said.
"If Vancouver wants to be a cosmopolitan, international, world-class city, we shouldn't be telling people they can't have second homes, but if they want one they have to pay a penalty."
The empty homes tax is a misnomer, Geller said, because under the current bylaw, many homes, including those belonging to Borkenhagen and other people he's talked to, would be subject to the tax, even though they aren't "empty." They are people's homes, although they're not lived-in for the 180 days a year required for exemption.
Thomas Davidoff, executive director of the University of B.C. Sauder School of Business's Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate, said he agrees with Geller that the tax will affect people with seasonal residences and pied-a-terres in Vancouver, and agrees the empty homes tax is probably misnamed.
But Davidoff disagrees with Geller on the fundamental question of whether it's fair to tax owners of pied-a-terres or vacation homes.
"A pied-a-terre doesn't provide housing for the workforce," he said, adding while people should be free to own multiple residences if they can afford to, it's not unreasonable to charge a progressive tax on them in a city with an acute housing shortage.
Further, Davidoff added, Vancouver has relatively low property-tax rates to begin with, so even for homeowners facing a one-per-cent-increase, it will bring the property-tax rate to a level not unusual by North American standards.
"In Vancouver, we have this insane combination of low property taxes and high income and sales taxes," Davidoff said. "Which is just egregiously bad policy … It's saying, 'We want to encourage people to invest in real estate, but we want to discourage them from living and working here.' Well, that's the definition of an affordable-housing problem. So if you take a step like the empty homes tax, to put more of a burden on people who don't earn income here or pay tax on it, but do own property here, that's a fantastic thing to do."
The bylaw was meant to address "both empty and under-utilized properties," said City of Vancouver housing policy staff in an email. "Careful consideration was given to the impact of the tax on owners of second homes, however, this impact was weighed against the goal of the tax and the enforceability of the program," said the email.
Meanwhile, Borkenhagen, the semi-retired doctor, is trying to mobilize a group of similarly affected Vancouver homeowners, and is assembling an Unfair Vancouver Vacant Homes Tax Coalition, first with a Facebook page, and with plans for a website soon. He said he hopes the city could amend the bylaw to exclude existing homeowners in his situation from the tax.
"The city has no idea how many people are in our situation, and neither do we," Borkenhagen said. "It's not that we want to fight the city, we want to work with them."

There are many different things that can chip a tooth. When this happens, the compromised dental integrity can leave it at increased risk of suffering a severe dental fracture.
To prevent this from happening, Dr. Cynthia S. Becker & Cynthia A. Pistoia might be able to repair the fractured tooth with a silver amalgam dental filling. This type of dental material is known for being durable making them a good choice for repairing a chipped molar or premolar.
Amalgam is made from a blend of dental grade metals that can be somewhat malleable when they are first applied and shaped, especially when it's composed of silver. Once the amalgam dental filling has been cured by a special ultraviolet light it will harden and bond with the surrounding tooth enamel.
If the chip in the tooth enamel is large or it has compromised the tooth's biting surface, Dr. Cynthia S. Becker & Cynthia A. Pistoia might recommend restoring the tooth with a dental crown. This treatment method will fully replace the entire tooth enamel layer with a special material like dental porcelain, gold, or an alloy of base metals.
Once the integrity of the tooth has been fully restored you can expect it to last for many years to come. If you have a chip on one of your teeth, and you live in the Fishers, Indiana, area, you should call 317-849-0999 to have it treated at My Dental Care.

Developing a more effective virtual onboarding program
The issue
The HR department of one of the worlds largest global companies had become concerned about the costs and effectiveness of its onboarding programs. Central to these programs were face-to-face events that lasted several days. While these were well received their cost and the associated logistical challenges meant that only a limited number could be run each year. As a result many new hires were working in the company for several months before attending an onboarding program. It was widely recognized that reductions in the time it takes to get new people up to speed results in considerable cost savings for the company, so there was a need for a more flexible and effective approach to onboarding.
The Challenges
While existing on line onboarding tools were providing valuable support for new hires they were doing little or nothing to facilitate the social integration of the employee into the organization and its culture. They were also of limited value when it comes to developing the ability to solve many of the challenges that employees face in their day-to-day work. In many instances this can only be facilitated through coaching and dialogue with subject matter experts and more experienced colleagues.
Successful on boarding programs require the involvement of multiple departments from within the company all working together to welcome and engage new employees. Within this company the leading subject matter experts are distributed all over the world and by their very nature these people are in high demand and find it difficult to allocate time to supporting the on boarding programs. The same can be said for senior leaders whose presence and active participation in these programs demonstrates to new employees that they are considered to be important assets to the organization.
Engagement and inspiration is critical during the onboarding process, as research has shown that 90% of employees are still deciding whether they will stay at an organization throughout their first six months.
The Solution
Illustra worked with the company's HR teams and subject matter experts to design and implement an effective live virtual program that enabled more frequent on boarding events across the year at considerably lower costs. This program consists of a series of live virtual workshops, which bring new hires together from around the world so they can enter into live dialogues with top subject matter experts from across the organization. During these virtual workshops they engage in challenging interactive exercises, simulations and role-plays that mirrored the challenges they encounter everyday in their work. During these workshops the participants create action plans that document how they intend to implement key learnings from the program. A follow up virtual event held several months later enables them to discuss the challenges and lessons learnt in implementing their action plans with colleagues, subject matter experts and the Illustra coaches
The Result
The unique televisual approach pioneered by Illustra has proved to be particularly suited to promoting interaction and dialogue between participants and subject matter experts from different parts of the organization. It has also enabled new hires to get to get to know colleagues from around the world and to engage in dialogues with senior executives who previously had rarely found it possible to attend the face-to-face events. The new virtual onboarding strategy with its series of virtual workshops and follow up events several months later provides new entrants with a strong sense of support across the initial period of their employment. The end result is a cost effective solution that has greatly enhanced the company's ability to socialize new hires into its organizational culture and reduce the time it takes for them to reach full effectiveness in their roles.
What Participants say

Jesus said to make disciples "baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you..." (Matthew 28.19-20). Dr. Benjamin Rush, one of the youngest signers of the Declaration of Independence, wrote "There is a peculiar aptitude in the minds of children for religious knowledge." Jesus, Himself said, "Let the little children come unto Me" (Mark 10.14).
Ideally this teaching begins at home, but it also continues in the church and school. Our instructions for youth begin in Sunday Youth Bible Study, Christian Day School, and Tuesday Evening Classes (for children who do not attend our school).
Bible History
Tuesday Evenings 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. in the Lower Level
This class is for 3rd and 4th grade students and 5th and 6th grade students not attending Good Shepherd Lutheran School. In this class we teach all the major Bible stories of the Old and New Testament. This class is required before beginning 7th and 8th grade confirmation class. For more information contact Carol Walther.
7th and 8th Grade Catechism
Tuesday Evenings 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the Lower Level
Tuesday, Wednesday, & Friday at Good Shepherd Lutheran School 8:20-9:00 a.m.
This class prepares students for Confirmation and participation in Holy Communion. This class focuses on the main teachings of the Bible using Martin Luther's Small Catechism. Teachers: Pastor Walther, Pastor Adle, Mr. Mueller, Mr. Westphal.
Our most important text is the Bible. But the Bible is loaded with information that we can study for a lifetime. Martin Luther's Small Catechism helps us find the important things that new Christians need to know. Bibles and Small Catechisms are available at the Church or School.
Sermon Notes:
We like to say that the Catechism class really begins on Sunday. Everything we teach is connected to Christian worship. An important part of our learning process is to learn what is going on in worship. To help with this we require our students to take sermon notes. Students who are unable to attend worship may take notes from the online sermons. Directions for taking sermon notes.
Learning By Heart:
God encourages us to learn His word by heart (Psalm 119.11). This is a great help to our living by faith. But it also has other benefits as memorization trains the mind. We encourage you to set aside a little time each day for Learning by Heart. See Learning by Heart verses below.
Parent's Role:
Martin Luther wrote the Small Catechism first for parents to use when teaching their children. We urge parents to work with their children in this vitally important aspect of their lives.
Members of Other Churches (School):
At this age students often ask very challenging questions. They can be especially sensitive to the differences in the teachings of different churches. If there are things taught in this class that you don't understand or have questions about, don't hesitate to email or call the teacher.
You know by now the classes at Good Shepherd are thoroughly Lutheran. We also hope you know that we are respectful of those who differ with our beliefs. "Respect" means that we will not ridicule or falsely characterize anyone's beliefs. We are also careful to show the good that can be found in all religions.
However, sometimes we do have to say that we disagree with a certain teaching. This can cause tension in a young person's heart. There's no way to avoid this. We all have to wrestle with these things sooner or later. If there are doctrinal differences, our advice is to talk about them with your children. Explain what you believe and show them why. Talk to your pastor or with the teacher for more clarification. We do have a series of classes which cover the same teaching for adults. You're welcome to attend at anytime.
Important Dates:
Practice for Profession of Faith Service, Tuesday, April 21st, 2020 at 6:30 p.m.

Stop Jumping The Gun
January 13, 2012 by Deborah Calla
Filed under Blog
Do you let your blood boil? Do you respond to a provocation without thinking? Do you sometimes answer before truly thinking about the question? Do you jump to conclusions? Do you act on things only to regret a moment later? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you suffer from "jumpenites of the gun."
But don't feel bad. You are not alone. I ought to know being a Sagittarian (fire sign) and Latin (fire birth right).
But here is the good news. There is now a remedy for jumping the gun. It is called: Taking time.
Now don't confuse being spontaneous with jumping the gun.
Being spontaneous means you have a strong feeling inside. An example is when one is overcome with a sense of love and follows through by telling a person how much they love them or give them a hug or a kiss. That's usually a good thing unless the recipient doesn't know the giver or the spontaneity is out of place.
Jumping the gun, is when we are reacting to something rather than initiating. In these situations stopping to take time will either allow us to see the light or allow for a greater sense of certainty.

There are moments in our lives when we need the support and assistance of a doctor. These professionals are trained to do their best in taking care of us and treating our medical problems. When our health is at stake, compromises should never be taken. To some doctors, we owe our health and maybe our lives. But there are cases when mistake or negligence jeopardize the well-being of the patient. Thus, there is the risk for you to wake up after a surgery with your older problem not solved, but with a new issue caused by the wrong performance of the surgery procedures. Or, you can have severe side-effect because of a treatment set wrong, without respecting your medical history or without a through investigation.
If these cases occur to you, you should never be afraid to claim compensation from the people that did you wrong. They caused you unnecessary sufferance, pains, and additional health issues that should never exist. You asked for their help with the hope you'll feel better and will be able to lead a normal life. Leo Claims can take care of your medical negligence. Regardless of your issue or medical negligence, they can help you solve your problem. You should never accept such situations, as you had the right and paid for quality medical services. Today's doctors should be the ones to trust most, and the persons who believe that medical problems are something that can be treated lightly should be punished.
Because of medical negligence, some of us might need supplementary medical attention and treatment. Instead to managing a single problem, we end up managing more, which only leads to a decrease of your life quality. If you don't know how to fend for your right, ask support from Leo Claims, and are your medical negligence cases will be solved. Whether it is a dental problem, medical accidents, negligence that happens during hospitalization, birth injuries, cosmetic surgeries or infections caused by improper conditions, everything will have a solution. Your health should be on the front row, and everything attempting to its integrity should pay the price.

Ahhh...take me back to Florida! Over spring break this year we were able to take a week vacation to visit my parents in St. Petersburg area. We were blessed with the most perfect weather while we were there - sunshine everyday, no rain, mid 80's...it was beautiful!! But it all has to come to end sometime, right?
This time (as we've been there multiple times now) our close friends, Dana and Dustin, also made the trip with us so our vacation was that much more fun! Their son, Jamye, who is close in age to Aubrey, our oldest, had a blast playing together at the beach. Jayda is only 2.5, and though she continues to get braver and braver every time we go to the beach, didn't venture very far in the water so it was nice that Aubrey and Jamye had each other.
We've made it a point to not really have set plans for when we are down there because then it feels as though we are always running around and not "relaxing." We spent nearly everyday enjoying the beach. Couldn't ask for much more than that! We also really enjoy fishing! It's so much more of a thrill fishing in the ocean because you honestly have no idea what is or could be on the end of your line. So we did plenty of fishing as well. We caught a handful of Amberjacks, Jonathan caught a Cobia (which we found are highly protected in the area and difficult to catch), a couple of Pufferfish (happened to be the first fish Jamye ever caught!), and a handful of other small fish.
As it turns out, the Easter Bunny knew we were staying with Grandma (the girls now find it funny to call her Grammy, haha) and Papa!!! Aubrey, Jayda and Jameson were thrilled to see a bowl of candy on the table and find their Easter baskets! Ok, maybe not Jamo, but the girls had no problem going through his basket for him. :)
He even hid eggs outside in the yard for the kids to find!
As a side note, after uploading over 100 photos, I've realized that I wasn't in a single picture! Make sense since I'm always the one on the other side of the camera... So I've decided to add a bunch of the images that I took with my phone at the bottom of the page as well.
