Columbus Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer
Types of Nursing Home Negligence
Nursing homes are highly regarded for the care they provide to our elderly and disabled loved ones. That is why it seems incomprehensible when these institutions break our trust, and worse, cause our loved ones harm or injury. If you or a loved one is a victim of nursing home neglect, reach out to The Mark Casto Law Firm, PC right away. Out of all the personal injury cases we've handled in years, our Columbus personal injury attorney takes nursing home negligence more earnestly not only because of the physical, emotional, or financial pain it causes but also because the victims are mostly those who cannot stand up for themselves.
The types of nursing home negligence case we usually handle include:
- Physical neglect- When patients do not receive adequate help when it comes to their hygiene such as bathing, brushing their teeth, changing their clothes or sheets, and more.
- Basic needs neglect- When patients are not provided with proper and reasonable food, water, and clean living environment.
- Medical neglect- When patients are not given proper medication and preventative care for medical concerns such as infections, bed sores, cuts, and other illnesses or diseases.
- Emotional or social neglect- When patients are ignored, left alone, or spoken to in a degrading manner by the nursing home staff
Signs of Nursing Home Negligence or Abuse
There are many cases of nursing home neglect or abuse occurring every day. Sadly, the majority of the cases are left unreported because the victims are unable to express the neglect or abuse inflicted upon them. This is why it's important for family members to keep an eye out on both obvious and subtle signs of nursing home neglect.
Some of these warning signs include:
- Bed sores
- Physical injuries such as bumps, bruises or cuts
- Sudden weight loss or malnutrition
- Sudden withdrawal from interacting with others
- Increased anxieties or fears
- Sedated behavior
Family members should also be wary when the nursing home staff refuses to leave your elderly or disabled loved one alone with you. Make sure that you have quality time to talk with your loved one on your own to check up on their wellbeing without fear.
Contact Us for a Free, No-Obligation Consultation
At The Mark Casto Law Firm, PC, we are committed to standing up for the injured especially those who cannot fight back such as the elderly or disabled. Allow our firm to be your loved one's strong advocate during their time of need. We are ready to work zealously to obtain justice and favorable compensation.
Give our firm a call at (706) 940-4002 to schedule your free consultation with our personal injury lawyer in Columbus and Harrison, GA.

The Sixth Stocktaking Report accounts for both progress made and setbacks identified in the last two years. Globally countries have made more inroads on new HIV infections among children since 2011 than in the previous decade, but the rate of slowing new infections isn't yet on track to meet Millennium Development Goal 6 by its 2015 deadline.
In the report, follow the narrative of how low- and middle-income countries have responded to HIV and AIDS in the first and second decades of a child's life. Several national governments have made remarkable progress on mother-to-child transmission, yet lagged where adolescent protection is concerned.

Proverbs 20:24
Man's steps are ordered by the LORD,
How then can man understand his way?
Matthew Henry Commentary excerpt:
"We have no foresight of future events, and therefore know not how to forecast for them: How can a man understand his own way? How can he tell what will befall him, since God's counsels concerning him are secret, and therefore how can he of himself contrive what to do without divine direction? We so little understand our own way that we know not what is good for ourselves, and therefore we must make a virtue of necessity, and commit our way unto the Lord, in whose hand it is, follow the guidance and submit to the disposal of Providence."
Sometimes I think I have life all figured out… I have "Plans" on how /what I would like to see transpire in my life and of course a time frame. The problem is I have a very limited view and regretfully it's normally "self-focused". If I have a choice, I may go with comfortable and easy, but God has bigger plans for me and my life. It is not necessarily about my comfort or liking certain parts of the journey but for helping me to grow closer to him. I see things and foolishly try to plan my steps but I only think I can have a certain amount of control. Truthfully I can't even direct my next breath. I can't see what is ahead …joy, heartbreak, blessing, devastation… He can! He can see my yesterdays, and all of my tomorrows. He sees the inside & out of my life (past present & future) and all the lives past, present & future of the peoples who's walk comes in touch with mine. I can only see my limited human tunnel vision of now.
WOW!!!! … Overwhelming just thinking of how Great God is and how I KNOW I can trust myself to his direction, his guidance (beyond what I can understand, beyond what I can see)

The International Wine and Spirit Competition names HRH Prince Robert of Luxembourg as their 2011 President
IWSC News
Prince Robert of Luxembourg, Clarence Dillon's great-grandson and Domaine Clarence Dillon's President, has been named as the 2011 President of the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC).
In the annual tradition which dates back to 1977, HRH Prince Robert has taken up his term in office, replacing Prinz Michael zu Salm-Salm of the distinguished Salm-Dalberg family of Germany, in supporting the efforts of the world's oldest and most presitious wine and spirit competition. The role of the president is to help raise the profile of the IWSC, and therefore continue to drive the agenda ofquality in the wine and spirits industry.
Prince Robert commented on his appointment; "The IWSC is growing its presence in a number of new markets. I'm delighted to help contribute to the understanding of great quality wines and spirits in these markets. Tasting wines and noting is all about guiding the consumer. I would also like to encourage consumers to taste and build up confidence in their own judgement as they become familiar with these magical drinks".
Having developed an early passion for the family wine business, Domaine Clarence Dillon, Prince Robert now oversees, and owns along with his family, two of the most prestigious estates in Bordeaux: Château Haut-Brion and Château La Misson Haut-Brion as well as Bordeaux's first Super Premium Brand Wine, Clarendelle. In 2005, Prince Robert launched Bordeaux Fine Wine Merchant Clarence Dillon Wines.
Allen Gibbons, Managing Director of the IWSC comments; "I'm absolutely delighted that Prince Robert has agreed to be the 2011 IWSC President. It's a huge boost for the competition to have yet again, such a highly influential figure within the industry, with such a prestigious wine estate. It's an honour to see Prince Robert supporting the competition further cementing the IWSC as the worlds most prestigious wine and spirit competition".
In August 2008, Prince Robert of Luxembourg, the fourth generation representative of the Dillon family producing some of the finest and rarest wines of Bordeaux, succeeded his mother, the Duchesse de Mouchy, as president of Domaine Clarence Dillon. 2009 was an exceptional vintage and four of Domaine Clarence Dillon's first wines were granted a potential 100/100 by Robert Parker.
2010 marks the 75th anniversary of the acquisition of Château Haut-Brion by Mr Clarence Dillon and 8 dinners in 8 great cities to celebrate 8 decades of the Dillon family's presence at the estate are being organised throughout the world in Paris, London, New York, Shanghai, Hong-Kong, Tokyo, Los Angeles and Moscow.

A continuation of people and things discovered at the O'Reilly TOC conference in NYC, February 13-15, 2012.
Valla Vakili, CEO of Small Demons @smalldemons
The title of Valla's talk was "Exaggerations and Perversions," a phrase he borrowed from William James' book, The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature. James writes, "…it always leads to a better understanding of a thing's significance to consider its exaggerations and perversions its equivalents and substitutes and nearest relatives elsewhere."
Valla and his team have created what they call the "Storyverse," where they bring all the details of fictional worlds to the real world. People, places, things. As they say at their site:
A place where details touch, overlap and lead you further. To new music to listen to. New movies to watch. Places to visit. People to know. And of course, new books to read. Getting started is simple. Just choose a book. See where it takes you.
This all seems very interesting. What does that character eat, drink. Where does she go? What other characters in other books end up in those same places? This can lead to an endless number of connections between an endless number of fictional characters. Readers have a passion, an obsession, for characters. I think of my own experience of reading Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises in college and always wanting to open a bottle of wine and drink along with the characters. The worry is that collecting all this information about these characters and connecting them to shopping opportunities will lead to a world where writers write with product placement in mind. Of course that's already occurred a couple of times. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime go obsess in that fictional world.
Eric Ries: entrepreneur and author of The Lean Startup. @ericries
His mantra: Build. Measure. Learn. His blog: StartupLessonsLearned
His provocative statement: if he were running a big publishing house he'd put together a group of 5-10 people whose sole job was to find manuscripts in the slush pile and turn them into bestsellers. Methodically. He doesn't believe bestsellers happen by accident. Build. Measure. Learn. Test content with friends and their friends. Test different covers online. (He photoshopped different colored book covers into bookstore display shelves and asked people to tell him which one "popped" for them. [the blue one]) Test, test, test.
He took "pre-orders" for his book even before he had written the book. Charged people $30 even though he didn't know what the publisher would charge. But put together 10,000 pre-orders before book was published. Kind of thing that gives everyone in the process a warm fuzzy feeling.
Len Vlahos (Book Industry Study Group) and Kelly Gallagher (RR Bowker) spoke on "Consumer Attitudes Toward Ebook Reading." (And I was glad they used "toward" and not "towards.")
Lots of stats:
E-book take-up flattened in 2011. Fiction is where the action is with e-books. When will other genres catch up? What does role of technology play in adoption.
And then this: heard from presenters more than once at this conference: "We tend to forget the reader." (And people wonder why publishers are so terrified? Don't forget your customers! Any first-day business-school student will tell you that.)
E-book buyer was originally male oriented but it is women with higher educations, higher income, homes. Perhaps women were waiting for the technology to shake out and settle down. Or is it just that women really are the readers and maybe it looked like men were readers because they were first to adopt the e-readers, but perhaps they were more interested in the technology than what you could read with it?
Fourteen percent of folks with an e-reader still haven't purchased an e-book. What prevents people from buying e-books?
- More comfortable with print.
- Difficult to share with others.
- Inability to resell books.
Power buyers are social people. Power buyers need ability to share what they're reading. While they buy 25 percent of physical books, they drive 50 percent of sales and value in the marketplace.
It seems that after two years of owning an e-reader, people to tend buy fewer books. In fact, there's a slight increase in the number of physical books bought at the time. Technology backlash?
Erin McKean, CEO of Wordnik.com @emckean
Everything is context. Wordnik is a large large dictionary. It connects words to other words. Words don't have meaning without context.
She says your content is your core. Getting people to the core of who you are is the new holy grail. How to discover books without browsing. How do you get books into venues where people aren't necessarily looking for books? People are reading blogs. Sweet spot for context/content delivery. But reaching out to bloggers is labor intensive. What if you could make an API for your content? And then people could connect your content to communities you might not even know about.
Bob Young, CEO of Lulu.com, @caretakerbob
Spoke about starting a business and how hard it has become since all the colleges now have entrepreneurial programs. Asking for a show of hands, turns out about half the people in the audience are either currently working for a startup or want to start a new business.
But it turns out that most of the people in the audience also say they were A students in college, and Bob says the chances of them succeeding in an innovative business are slim. It's the C students who start and succeed in business. If you're an A student, you've by definition bought into the system, the current education system, and that's not necessarily a good thing. Tom Peters once had a slide about this very topic. So Bob says, "please don't start a business." Well, he doesn't want any more competition. More on that…
But then he goes on to say that if you are going to start a business, 1) have fun, and 2) follow your customers. Advice clearly not followed by many since they say "we've forgotten about the reader."
What Bob set out to do at Lulu was to build a platform where authors could sell books directly to their customers. Books that generally have small specialty markets, e.g., cookbooks. Lulu really is fulfilling what Chris Anderson called "the long tail."
But in an echo of what Erin McKean was talking about, sharing APIs, Lulu at first saw all the other people coming in to the self-publishing realm as competitors, but then realized that since they had been one of the first ones in, they could in fact share their knowledge with all the newcomers. Which is what they do at developer.lulu.com.
Seems the whole world these days is about opening up your API. Sharing, transparency, all that.
Good place to end the conference. Funny guy, Bob Young. No slides, which was nice.

The following describes the process that is used by CADTH's pan-Canadian Oncology Drug Review (pCODR). More information is available in the Guidelines, Procedures, and Templates section.
Step 1.0 – Pre-submission Planning Activities
Either a drug manufacturer or a tumour group may submit an oncology drug to CADTH for a pCODR review. Before this submission is made, pCODR works with the manufacturer or tumour group ("the submitter") to prepare them for the submission process. This preparation includes setting up pCODR supports to assist both submitters and stakeholder groups through the review process, obtaining input from the Provincial Advisory Group (PAG), and notifying appropriate stakeholder groups of the pending review. It also involves determining the appropriate membership for the Clinical Guidance Panels and Economic Guidance Panel, as well as identifying additional resources and expertise that will take part in the review. This includes establishing either an ad hoc clinical panel or distributing a survey questionnaire to clinical leads affiliated with a provincial cancer agency with experience in the diagnosis and management of the condition for which the drug under review is indicated; all of this, to support the development of a provisional algorithm based on their clinical expertise.

Step 2.0 – Preparing and Submitting a Request for Drug Review
It is important that the submitting drug manufacturer or tumour group follow pCODR's Submission Guidelines, which help prepare the information required to start the review process.

Step 3.1 – Screen Submission and Initiate Review Process
CADTH screens pCODR submissions by reviewing the content against a screening checklist to ensure that the submission meets the requirements outlined in the Pre-Submission, Submission and Resubmission Guidelines. Once the submission is deemed complete, CADTH initiates the pCODR review process.
Step 3.2 (a) – Collecting Patient Group Information
During pre-submission planning, patient groups are notified of a pending submission and invited to provide relevant information. Guidance for providing patient input, including a patient input template, is available in the pCODR Patient Input and Feedback section of cadth.ca. Patient information is collected by CADTH and becomes input to the pCODR review.

Step 3.2 (b) – Collecting Registered Clinician Information
During pre-submission planning, registered clinicians are notified of a pending submission and invited to provide relevant information. Clinicians are required to register through the Registration Page only once. Guidance for providing clinician input, including a clinician input template, is available in the pCODR Clinician Input and Feedback section of cadth.ca. Registered clinician information is collected by CADTH and becomes input to the pCODR review. Registered clinicians will receive notifications via email of all upcoming reviews at pCODR. The email notification will have information pertaining to the drug and indication under review, the link to the clinician input template, and the deadline date for submitting input.

- pCODR Registered Clinician Conflict of Interest Declaration
Step 4.1 – Conducting a Clinical Review
The membership of the Clinical Guidance Panels is confirmed during pre-submission planning, and varies depending upon the type of cancer treated by the drug under review. Supported by a Methods Team, the Clinical Guidance Panels review the submission and integrates the input provided by the various stakeholder groups. A Clinical Guidance Report is prepared for consideration by the pCODR Expert Review Committee (pERC).

Last updated: April 13, 2011
Step 4.2 – Conducting an Economic Review
The Economic Guidance Panel membership is confirmed during pre-submission planning. This panel reviews the submission and integrates the input provided by various stakeholder groups, as well as the Clinical Guidance Panel. An Economic Guidance Report is prepared for consideration by pERC.
- pCODR Economic Guidance Report Template
Last updated: July 21, 2011
Step 4.1.1/4.2.1 – Clarifying Information with a Submitter During the Review
Throughout the clinical and economic reviews, the pCODR reviewers are able to ask questions of the submitter. A formal checkpoint meeting is also held during the review process to provide the reviewers with an opportunity to seek more clarity directly from the submitter. Responses to the questions posed during this part of the review process provide information that may be included in the final guidance reports.
- pCODR Disclosure of Information Guidelines
Last updated: July 21, 2011
Step 5.0 – Summarize and Review with pERC
At a pre-specified meeting date, CADTH provides pERC with information about the reviews, as well as the inputs from the various stakeholder groups. pERC reviews all the information presented to the committee, deliberates upon it using a deliberative framework, and formulates an Initial Recommendation. pERC may also comment on whether there are opportunities for additional data collection to inform the provisional algorithm, and, if the recommendation is a positive or conditional reimbursement recommendation, to offer an opinion on the provisional algorithm.
- pERC Deliberative Framework
Last updated: March 2011
Step 5.1 – Review and Confirm Implementation Considerations
The Canadian Association of Provincial Cancer Agencies (CAPCA) Board of Directors will concurrently receive the same information presented to pERC, and will specifically review implementation considerations submitted by PAG, including confirming their support of the recommendation specific to the provisional algorithm.
Step 6.0 – Prepare and Publicly Post Initial Recommendation and Reviews
The Initial Recommendation and a detailed discussion of how the recommendation was made are posted on cadth.ca. The clinical and economic guidance reports are also posted on cadth.ca.
Step 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 – Get Input from Stakeholders
After the Initial Recommendation is posted which includes the provisional algorithm, the submitter, manufacturer (if not the submitter), the registered patient group(s), and the Provincial Advisory Group have an opportunity to provide feedback. The feedback is submitted to pCODR using the feedback template below.
- Stakeholder Feedback on a pERC Initial Recommendation
Last updated: June 12, 2019
Step 7.4 – Assess Eligibility for Early Conversion
The pERC Chair and three pERC Members will assess the feedback provided on the pERC Initial Recommendation to determine if it is eligible to convert to a Final Recommendation without requiring pERC reconsideration. Where the feedback relates specifically to the provisional algorithm, it will be assessed by the PAG Chair and PAG members.
If the criteria for early conversion are met (i.e., no substantive comments about the pERC Initial Recommendation or about the provisional algorithm), editorial changes to the recommendation may be made, and the Final Recommendation will be posted on cadth.ca. This step allows for more timely recommendations in a limited set of instances. If the pERC Initial Recommendation is not eligible for early conversion (e.g., substantive comments relating to the recommendation or about the provisional algorithm), it is returned to pERC for further deliberation and reconsideration at the next possible pERC meeting.
- pCODR Procedures
Last updated: June 12, 2019
Step 8.0 – Summarize and Review with pERC
All feedback is noted, summarized, and provided to pERC, which meets to deliberate and reconsider, if appropriate, the Initial Recommendation. Substantive comments about the provisional algorithm will be shared with PAG. A Final Recommendation is made, which may or may not differ from the Initial Recommendation. There are limited circumstances for which this process step of reconsideration is not required.
Step 9.0 – Prepare and Publicly Post Final Recommendation and Post All Feedback Received
The Final Recommendation and a detailed discussion of how the recommendation was made are posted on cadth.ca. All feedback on the Initial Recommendation is posted, along with the Final Recommendation.

QM2 Today
Live from the QM2's Bridge Webcam
Queen Mary 2 is a unique ship, being the last of the great transatlantic liners in service. She has held this distinctive title since 2008 when Queen Elizabeth 2 retired from service.
When QM2's predecessor QE2 was launched in 1967, people the world over believed she was the final ocean liner. Thirty six years later Queen Mary 2 successfully completed her sea trials off the coast of Saint-Nazaire in France and entered service in 2004 amid much fanfare.
She has since made hundreds of voyages; sailing around the world multiple times. QM2 undertakes regular scheduled transatlantic crossings as well as a vibrant schedule in the mediterranean and northern Europe.From this page you can keep track of QM2 during her journeys around the world.

the theory :: chinese troops were massing along the u.s.-mexican border
in late 2011, reports began to surface that large numbers of chinese soldiers, tanks and arms were seen near border crossings on the mexican side of the border.
the story ::
there's not a lot to this one besides that. the sightings are always reported anonymously, but in great earnestness, to people whose world view dovetails nicely with the idea that there is a much bigger threat along the border than people coming to take jobs at wal-mart and home depot. the number of troops is reported to be very large- in the vicinity of one hundred thousand and opinions seem split on the extent to which the u.s. government [both the bush and obama administrations] is aware of this and complicit in it.
the originator ::
very hard to pinpoint, but the earliest example i could find comes from the web site your own world usa, back in 2000. this is just a brief mention [where the authoor also asserts that the panama canal is under the control of the chinese]. the first discussion i found on the topic came from dennis and anne bossack of dna live radio. dennis asserts that there have been large numbers of chinese soldiers near the border since at least 2002 and that he and his wife have spoken to border patrol officers who have seen them, but who are afraid to speak out. if you scroll down the page, you'll also see some email communications with people who do claim to have seen operations up close, or something like that. in this case, the troops were reported to be near the border crossing at tijuana- san diego. the bossacks do not claim to have seen any of this themselves, just that they've had sources tell them it was happening. they also say that there are russian and cuban troops as well [and one of the emails sent to them gives a figure of two hundred million russian soldiers along the canadian border.]
in march 2011, it was revived through this article on coup media.
the believers ::
this falls into the "strictly for the hardcore" category. as you'll see in the links above, even the bossacks and coup media are circumspect about what they can say for certain. everyone who reports on this story frames the discussion with something like "i'm not saying there are definitely chinese military bases in mexico, but..." therein lies the magic of the word "but" [stop giggling]: it's like a code, instructing you to disregard everything that's just been said, because the important part is coming up.
the bad guys ::
china. mexico. obama. bush. but mostly china.
the evidence ::
very, very shaky insofar as it exists at all. the earlier reports from the bossacks cite conversations with terrified border patrol agents. the common thread in the 2011 revival is the story of "the trucker". apparently this base is so top secret that they let a regular truck driver come right in and deliver goods and then let him sit there while chinese soldiers unloaded the goods. the trucker claims he was able to count ten thousand military vehicles parked on the site, which i think means that our source on this story is rain man.
radio host steve quayle [whose report on the subject unfortunately appears to have been removed from his site], upon hearing the story, sent his own scout down to check things out and the scout reported that the area was almost completely inaccessible because it was locked down. except for truckers. and the fact that it was crawling with mexican federales, which of course would arouse no suspicion, despite being nestled in the crosshairs of several highways connecting the major city of monterrey and the border crossing at laredo texas. [not sure if they've abandoned tijuana or if this is just a second outpost.]
at least one site has claimed to have captured pictures of barracks being built for the chinese army, although the base is cleverly disguised as a construction site for a subdivision. the disguise is evidently quite elaborate, since, if you search the development's name on google earth [real san pedro, monterrey, mexico], you'll see that it does appear to look exactly like a suburban development and not a chinese army base. they've built a starbucks and a paris crêpe restaurant to perpetuate the charade.
|the tanks are hidden underneath the shopping plaza
this is quite literally all the evidence i was able to marshal in support of this story. i mean, there are more, lots more videos and blog posts and mentions, but they're all traceable back to the sources i've already cited. no one who's actually seen anything has ever thought to pull out their cell phone and take a surreptitious picture. no one has ever employed the powers of google earth to see what's actually in the area[s]. until now.
going on the theory that the site that looked like a monterrey suburb was, in fact, a monterrey suburb, i went back to the article linked above from activist post. the location they give is not real san pedro, but an area that looks suspiciously empty. here's what i found...
|doesn't it look all creepy and isolated?
|no way is that just an ordinary group of buildings
|clearly a military installation, with 100,000 very cramped soldiers
so are those the mysterious military bases? no, i'm pretty certain they're not. i don't know what they are, but they're the only even vaguely base-like things i could find. perhaps the base has moved underground.
but all of this is mere distraction from the real problems with this whole tale:
- why would the chinese have a hundred thousand soldiers in northeastern mexico?
- why haven't they done anything?
none of the reports try to construct any serious narrative of why the chinese would want to invade america, although most seem convinced that's the ultimate plan, beyond just wanting to crush america. in fact, there's no place on earth that wants to see america's economy come crashing down less than china, because the second that happens, all those i.o.u.'s they're holding become worthless. furthermore, their own economy is dependent on having a healthy america willing to buy their goods by the boatload. so unless the entire u.s.-china trade economy is just a smokescreen thrown up to hide the real communist agenda... you know what, i'm gonna stop there, or we'll be here all night.
the likelihood :: 0/10
there are no chinese troops in mexico, unless they're vacationing at one of its many resorts. the chinese are not going to invade. this is not red dawn and we are not the wolverines.
ok, i have to admit that the reason i wanted to cover this one was just to give an example of a type of conspiracy theory that i encounter a lot. it never once occurred to me that there was any truth to it. [although i did my due diligence nonetheless!]
this type of theory is the kind of thing that one encounters a lot. it has a seedy allure- the idea that something big is happening, but more importantly, something that justifies the pontificating of those who declare that the end is near. they are, in a way, like old fairy tales, instilling a healthy fear of the dark and the world beyond our [literal and figurative] borders. they're flexible [hence the separate and slightly different instances] and they're tenacious, because by offering almost no supporting evidence, they offer nothing that can be disproved. this is why it's always important, i think, to ensure that there's something of substance to actually believe in before we actually fall down the paranoia hole.
this theory is really just an expression of bottled anxiety about america's place in the world and its problematic southern border. i could go on about the psychology behind it, but that's another series of posts.
p.s. :: i'm posting ptotw on saturday, whereas last week's was on friday. i hadn't really decided where i wanted it to go. do you have a preference? or did you just assume that i was late again? feel free to let me know either way.

The note that music plays in our everyday life is not thought of on a regular basis. Some people may never ever think about how music can effect our moods, our thoughts or our temperaments. Music can make one feel happy, sad, reflective, angry, passionate, foolish and spiritual. I don't believe that there is a human emotion that can not be effected or altered by music. There are a lot of people who believe that music is unimportant, that it is only for the young at heart or a waste of time. I find that these same narrow minded people do not find any of the fine arts to be of any value at all.
Music has been around since the beginning of recorded history of man. Early example of this can be found in the Bible. One of the most read and beloved books of the Bible is Psalms.
Psalms means praises or songs of praises. There are one hundred and fifty Psalms in this collection; they are credited to various authors. King David wrote the majority of the Psalms found in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, with a total of seventy three. The Psalms have been extremely popular as they reflect experiences common to the human race. They express the personal feelings of gratitude, attitude, emotions and interest in each other. As one reads them you can see that the purpose varies with each chapter. Some Psalms are petitions to God, praise and thanksgiving are common themes, as in reflection and forgiveness.
A poet writes words that describes his thoughts or feelings. A music artist writes these same thoughts and feelings then sets them into music. One doesn't have to have a great voice, play an instrument or have any knowledge of notes to connect with...

Former Pop Star and convicted paedophile Gary Glitter has agreed to solve Fabio Capello's left back conundrum and play for England during the world cup.
Glitter, who recently returned to England following a prison term for abusing young boys in the Philippines, was the bookies favourite after both Ashley Cole and Wayne Bridge were deemed unfit to for the position having only been involved in minor sex scandals.
"Gary is just what England needs" said a delighted Capello at a press conference today, "he is a tough, uncompromising man who has a proven record when it comes to national scandal. Discipline is a slight worry as he does have a habit of sliding in from behind, but I'm sure its nothing we can't sort out with a weekend training camp at the local primary school where we are basing ourselves for the duration of the tournament".
The decision to call on Glitter came after a frenetic week of activity. Cole had seemingly cemented his place in the team when it became clear he'd been knocking off pretty much anything wearing a skirt while married to his wife Cheryl, but following the divorce announcement yesterday all his achievements were technically undone under Fifa Rule 3b Section 2 which clearly states that any national player has to be "actively involved in extra marital affairs or at least appearing with a couple of naked women in a red-top daily", with the only exemption from the rule being given to Iain Dowie due to exceptional circumstances.
Bridge was then due to step in as replacement until the FA noticed that despite all the pictures of him in the paper with the girl that Captain John Terry had been giving a seeing to, when the application for the position was made in writing it seemed Bridge was actually a bit of a mummy's boy who had been honest, faithful and generous towards his partner during their time together. He was immediately expelled from the team to face Egypt and banned from selection until he "pulled himself together and got out a bit" according to a statement by the FA today.
Capello signed off today with an exuberant message for England fans. "What Gary gives us is a different option. We may play him from the start, he may come on as a sub, or we might just send him into the opposing team's dressing room before kickoff, which has proved astonishingly effective so far."

One such case came to fore on Wednesday where residents of Raman Vihar, developed by the Patel Nagar Cooperative Housing Society, alleged that the land grabbers have demolished boundary walls of their existing plots and are developing a new colony there. The new colony, 'Shaayam Sarovar', is being developed by another housing society, the Kirti Nagar Hosuing Cooperative Society, allegedly by issuing fake lease deeds (pattas).
Triyambak Singh, who owns a plot in Raman Vihar, alleged, "The records of our housing society was submitted to JDA in 1994. The Kirti Nagar Housing Cooperative Society submitted its record in 2012. In connivance with JDA and police, the land mafia is constructing walls, which is also a violation of the high court order. I was attacked when I tried to stop them from constructing boundary walls at our plots."
"In April 2017, the JDA officials had announced a regularisation camp for 'Shaayam Sarovar' colony with a different name. This was done to fool the Raman Vihar plot owners, as Shaayam Sarovar was being developed on Raman Vihar's land. JDA also claimed that Patel Nagar Cooperative Housing Society did not deposit its records. However, the camp was postponed after we produced audit documents done by the registrar cooperative department in 1995," said Puspa Kanwar, a widow who owns a plot in Raman Vihar.
It is witnessed many colonies are being recently developed in PRN scheme even after the Rajasthan High Court ban . In October 2010, the court banned all constructions in the area till the JDA prepares a plan for its systematic development. However, after the land prices increased, the farmers are land mafias are developing new colonies.
Giriraj Singh Khangarot, president of Prithviraj Nagar Sanyukt Jan Sangharsh Samiti, said, " Farmers who have sold their lands and developed housing societies earlier are purposely raising some technical issue to cancel the agreement. They then contact new land dealers to sell their land again on new rates."
In 2016, the then Urban development and housing (UDH) minister Rajpal Singh Shekhawat announced to initiate inquiry against the (JDA) officials who had allegedly promoted the development of illegal colonies in (PRN) in connivance with the private housing societies. One zone commissioner was transferred, however, this has not stopped development of illegal colonies.

Look up Creative Ideas
There are countless birthday party ideas to complete every possible theme you might consider. Use the internet and different websites, such as Pinterest, to find different decorations, goody bags, and desserts that match your birthday party theme. You can also find new ideas and techniques to put an interesting spin on an old birthday party classic. For example, rainbow and unicorn-themed cakes are popular and can be easily done with food coloring and baking supplies.
Book a Birthday Party Place
Booking a designated party place can be a great solution to throwing a stress-free and memorable birthday party. Professional party places have trained workers and entertainers who will help you plan a safe party for you and your children to enjoy. These employees will handle all of the setup and takedown of the party, which will give you the time and space to enjoy the party with your children and guests. You can also rest easy with safe and clean ball pits and play areas at a professional birthday party venue.
Enlist Party Helpers
In addition to professional party planners at a birthday party place, consider enlisting the help of close friends, family members, and fellow parents. These party helpers can help you design and set up decorations and goody bags. They can also serve as an extra set of eyes during the party to ensure that all of the children and your guests are safe and happy.

The Language of Biomedia
We've seen how advancements in genetic sciences have combined to result in genetically modified (GM) plants, animals, and now cloned humans. Artists have also engaged these developments, producing works that both celebrate and criticize the deployment of biotechnologies. The powerful information processing capabilities of silicon-based computing has enabled the sequencing and analysis of our genetic code, and that of many other organisms, but for the most part, the two components - biological DNA and information processing - have been considered independent. Well, according to Georgia Tech's Eugene Thacker in his new book Biomedia, that's all changing. The concept of 'biomedia' breaks down the traditional barriers between the biological body and technological machines. Not to be misunderstood as a furthering of the notion of the cyborg, 'biomedia' refers to emerging fields of research and development, like 'computational biology' in which information processing is achieved through biological means. BioPerl, a bioinformatics project based on the Perl programming language, is one example of such developments that leads Thacker to ask questions like 'What if 'life' turned out to be a form of computation?" - Ryan Griffis

Who is responsible for health and safety in the workplace?
Health and safety in the workplace is important as it ensures that all employees, and any members of the public who are affected by a business, are safe. The primary responsibility for health and safety in the workplace always rests with the employer. This does not mean, however, that the employer is the only person who is responsible for health and safety in the workplace.
Employers have a duty to ensure the safety of their employees, and employees have rights which include being provided with safety equipment and protective clothing free of charge, having rest breaks, having time off work during the working week, being able to report concerns about health and safety, being able to stop and leave the work area if there are reasonable concerns about safety, and having risks in the workplace controlled and minimised. Employees should also be free to contact the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) without fear of discrimination or reprisals.
An employee should also take reasonable care of their own health and safety. Employees should wear sensible clothing when operating machinery, as loose clothing or dangling jewellery, for example, could present a risk. They must also take reasonable care not to put their co-workers or members of the public at risk through their actions. All employees must co-operate with the employer on matters of training, and understand and follow the company's health and safety policy. An employee should not interfere with or misuse anything that has been provided for health and safety reasons.
It is the responsibility of the employee to report any illnesses, injuries or strains suffered on the job and also to inform their employer if there are any changes in their circumstances which would necessitate a change in the way they perform their job, such as pregnancy. Employees must also tell their employer if they are taking any medication which could affect their ability to perform their job safely, such as taking medication which induces drowsiness when having to drive a vehicle.
A company may appoint a workplace health and safety officer. The role of this individual is to assist managers by providing information and advice on the state of health and safety in the workplace. The health and safety officer should work with the employer to improve the implementation of health and safety legislation. This role carries considerable responsibility and it is important, therefore, that the right person is chosen. Whilst the health and safety officer is not responsible for assessing the safety of equipment, they are responsible for the setting up of health and safety systems and procedures, and for improving the attitude of staff towards health and safety.
The health and safety officer also provides both the employer and employees with a single point of contact for concerns about any health and safety issues. It is the health and safety officer's responsibility to stay up-to-date on the latest health and safety legislation and to ensure through training and advice that both the employer and employees are aware of any changes that will affect them.
If you have suffered a work-related injury or illness, Accident Advice Helpline can offer you sympathetic advice on whether you can claim or not, and how to proceed with any claim.

Consumer groups are reacting with alarm to President Trump's pledge to tear down consumer protections built into the Dodd-Frank Act, passed in 2010 to prevent a re-enactment of the financial meltdown of 2008 and to head off rules that try to rein in stock brokers and investment advisors.
"Wall Street titan Goldman Sachs seems to be taking over financial regulation in the United States, trying to make it easier for them and other big banks like Wells Fargo to steal from their customers and destabilize the economy," said Lisa Donner, executive director of Americans for Financial Reform in a statement to ConsumerAffairs. "That is a betrayal of the promises Trump made to stand up to Wall Street. If they succeed it will have painful consequences."
Trump said earlier this week at a meeting with small business leaders that he would do a "big number" on Dodd-Frank, and today he repeated that pledge in a meeting with Wall Street and big business leaders at the White House.
Trump told the executives that friends of his were unable to borrow money to support their business plans and, therefore, banking regulations in Dodd-Frank should be relaxed. The regulations are intended to ensure that banks have enough capital to withstand losses in their loan portfolios.
Critics of Dodd-Frank contend that it has hampered economic growth and harmed smaller banks.
"While the purported intent of supporters was to prevent another economic crisis, Dodd-Frank has centralized banking power into fewer big banks, crushing small town banks across the country. It has also made 'too big to fail' the law, rather than eliminating risks to taxpayers," said FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon.
"It placed restrictions and regulations on small, community banks. These are the banks that lend startup money to nearby entrepreneurs," Brandon said. "Dodd-Frank's effects have hurt rural economies across the country.
"Fiduciary rule" attacked
Trump is also taking aim at another Obama era regulation, a Labor Department rule that requires stock brokers and other investment advisors to act in the best interests of their client rather than simply trying to sell them whatever financial product is the most profitable.
"President Trump continues his streak of throwing middle class Americans under the bus – the very people he promised to protect on the campaign trail," the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and other groups said in a joint statement. "Today he plans to issue an executive order that threatens to strip working families and retirees of protections they desperately need when they turn to financial advisors for help with their retirement savings."
The groups said that rolling back conflict of interest protections for retirement savings will "take tens of billions of dollars a year out of the pockets of hard-working Americans in order to enrich powerful Wall Street interests."
The Labor Department rule has not yet gone into effect but is already benefiting consumers, the groups said.
"With implementation of the conflict rule just months away, it is already delivering real benefits to retirement savers: costs are dropping for retirement advice and products; incentives to act against customers' best interest are being eliminated; and investor choice of how to pay for advice has been preserved," according to the CFA, Americans for Financial Reform and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and Better Markets.
"All that will be put in jeopardy so that President Trump can cater to the powerful special interest groups that profit so richly under the status quo," the groups said.

Last week the Karinski.net homegirls took a trip back to 2001 to see All Saints play live in Shepherd's Bush. We'd already seen them once before when they sang dreadfully out of tune at Blackpool's swanky Winter Gardens but now older and on the comeback tale this, their first gig in 5 years, was going to be different.
Corporate hosted events are always going to be filled with alcohol, but 3 really pulled out the stops for this. We hadn't even bothered to press it up and just showed up as normal punters only to meet a shedload of free cocktails followed by a free bar, and more mini food then you could imagine. Nothing beat the chicken caesar salad myspace provided at The Cobden Club the other week, but the jam roly poly with custard nearly did!
Just before the band came on, Tamsin Outhwaite, her hubby, Kate Thornton and someone who looked like a third Appleton barged their way to the front positioning themselves almost on top of us. Naomi got to bump and grind with Outhwaite all night while they whooped and screamed "YAY NATALIE! NICOLE!! HI HI HI HI!". The girls looked the same as ever but had much more credible partners skulking at the back watching them then in olden days with both Liams knocking about.
I like new single Rocksteady a lot, and the other 4 new songs they played sounded equally as good. I've not heard them again yet on record so my alcohol blitzed memory can't really comment on them that much other than they were funky and as Shaznay would put it "had a bad-ass groove".

I was thinking of using an umbrella as props, since it did rain minutes before we took these shots.
Once again wearing Drei Soriano's faux leather jacket with cutouts, but this time with sweat pants. First time I think that I did this with a belt. Think I need something longer and with softer leather.
I like how the blue placket of the shirt gives the illusion of a skinny tie, from afar at least.
Now this really suits the title of this post. Only really lacking an umbrella.
I love love love sweat pants, though I must find trouser hybrids since these don't have belt loops and, more importantly, pockets.
Latching the zipper on a faux leather bag I recently thrifted. It joins my well-loved Young Camel satchel, which I also bagged at the thrift store.
My usual daily luggage consists of two bags, one for the shoulder and the other for the hand.
Sneakers by I thrifted a very long time ago, which I am now wearing again. Happy Monday!
