Open structure; rhinoplasty; columellar incision; external approach
35 - 39
Open structure rhinoplasty (OSR) is an old technique that has gained in popularity amongst plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists over the past twenty years. Opponents of the external approach cite potential problems such as unnecessary scaring, reduction of tip support, extended operative time and excessive post-operative tip swelling. However, even relatively inexperienced rhinoplastic surgeons embrace this approach, especially in cases with more complex tip deformities and skeletal abnormalities. Concerns about scarring and post-operative tissue reaction due to the more "aggressive" external approach make it necessary to consider the indications for the open approach carefully. Various incisions have been described for open rhinoplasty to reduce scarring, such as the Z, V, reverse V, and W incisions. There should be a strong emphasis on post-operative care in open approach rhinoplasty since open structure rhinoplasty is generally considered to be a more traumatic technique than the endonasal approach. Careful incision and dissection of the skin flap in the right surgical plane and proper suturing are essential to avoid short- and long-term complications. In conclusion, the external approach is preferable in selected cases where extended exposure (asymmetry cases, for example), per-operative assessment (revision cases), grafting and suturing are required. It allows the surgeon to work bimanually during reconstruction and the better per-operative evaluation reduces the revision rate.

Summit Racing now carries EPAS Performance electric power steering kits that make the swap to electric power steering a cinch. The kits use an electric motor and a control module to provide power assist. The control module measures the amount of effort applied to the steering wheel and tells the electric motor to apply the needed power assist. You can dial in the amount of assist you want with the potentiometer—for example, set the system at maximum for parking and less when driving on the highway. And in the unlikely event you lose electrical power, you still retain full manual steering control.
The EPAS systems do require the use of a manual steering box, EPAS says a power steering box's internals have a lot of drag and will put too much of a load on the electric motor. The EPAS systems retain the factory steering linkage, so there are no major or irreversible modifications made to your vehicle. Everything tucks up under your dash and out of sight.
EPAS Performance electric power steering kits come with the electric motor, prewired control module, and all necessary shafts, U-joints, wiring, and mounting hardware. Most installations will require steering column modification. If you don't want to modify your factory column, some EPAS kits do include an aftermarket steering column that's ready to install. EPAS Performance electric power steering is available for specific vehicles – even stuff like Studebaker, Packard, and early BMWs and in universal kits that are ideal for street rods and older classic vehicles.

I had a dream last night that when I went to sleep I would go places I had never been and do things that needed to be done and could only be done in my dreams. I can't remember any of them, but I know they were important.
In the last part of my dream I was prevented from going to sleep and I felt an extreme sense of urgency that I needed to do something in the dream world that could not be accomplished in my waking reality. I have no idea what is was, but that is when I became aware that Daisy, my dog, was my spirit guide.
I woke up after that epiphany and could not get it out of my head. What does it mean? What was it that was so important in my dream walk that I needed to accomplish?
I really do feel this dream was important, but I have no idea why.

The Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is known to travelers mainly for its large hotels and peaceful seaside resorts. The majority of tourists go there especially in "all-inclusive package" and unfortunately miss a rich and lively culture. A trip to the Dominican Republic in a backpack and out of hotels all-inclusive is it possible? Absolutely! Rum, Creole cuisine, Latin music, fresh fish, guaguas, pico pollo, beaches … This country has much more to offer than its superb hotels, trust me!
Backpacking In The Dominican Republic
My adventure actually began in Punta Cana, where I landed, but then I quickly headed to the beaches of Las Terrenas and Las Galeras, therefore I did not get the chance to explore Punta Cana this time around but hoping that I will the next time I am in the Dominican Republic
In Las Terenas, not only is the place full of mouth dropping beaches, but you cannot also miss the little cabanas-restaurants on the beach where you can enjoy any fish of your choice. Also, from the village, it is quite simple to rent a scooter (or otherwise find a driver) in order to explore your surroundings and get a better idea of where you are situated. When renting a scooter I simply had to provide my name; Nadine Gourkow, and they were able to rent the vehicle for me. The procedure was pretty straight forward. There are many things to be done in Las Terenas, but here are a few of my suggestions:
- A stroll to playa Bonita to surf on some waves as well as enjoying a beach much less crowded.
- Hiking to see the waterfalls El Limon.
Other locations
In Las Galeras, the beaches are in the spotlight and if you are lucky and the waters are calm, you can practice diving. This was unfortunately not the case when I went there and so I had to just explore the shores of the area is the beaches and Madame Fronton. I chose to go by boat to save time and I must admit that I found the trip quite difficult. The small boat was braving huge waves and several times I had the impression that we were flying instead of floating when the boat fell after having managed to pass a wave. It was not easy! Frankly, I believe that if there had been children on board, they would never have been able to stand, and I found everything at the edge to be dangerous.
Subsequently, I went through the capital, Santo Domingo, which very surprisingly I enjoyed very much. I am usually not a city fan, but I must say that the colonial area did impress me very much. In addition, I went to visit the museum of rum and listened to jazz outdoors in the evening sun.
Haitian Culture
For a glimpse of Haitian culture, do not miss the Haitian market close to the border where we were kindly invited to cross to see the village Anse-à-Pitre just across the line. "No matter if you do not have your passport, you'll be able to go anyway" I was told. Obviously, in terms of good plan I already saw better and I thought that Haiti would be for another time.

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana prefers to be an actor rather than simply being a hero on screen. He is happy with the path he has chosen and is looking forward to "break the mould" with his upcoming film 'Andha Dhun'.
Blinded by chaos, bound by fate, this one's going to be a thrilling ride... #AndhaDhun in cinemas October 5th. Trailer out now! https://t.co/dtPZ4NU8Tc— Ayushmann Khurrana (@ayushmannk) September 2, 2018
#Tabu @radhika_apte @manavvij #SriramRaghavan @itsamittrivedi @Viacom18Movies @MatchboxPix @ZeeMusicCompany @AndhadhunFilm pic.twitter.com/G2v1YRwMhY
Talking about his role in the film, the actor told The Quint "I have never done this before. I have always thought that things will happen to me. Your good work attracts different kinds of good scripts. But I wanted to break the mould of playing the guy in slice-of-life films. The best way out was to do a thriller and that too with the master of noir, Sriram Raghavan."
Ayushmann also opened up about his journey in the industry and his choices as an actor. "I always wanted to be an actor, in fact I wanted to be a hero also at the same time. But you know, sometimes your path is set from the first film. I am treading this path of realistic cinema, thankfully it's working for me and I'm happy that I have carved out a certain space in the industry. Someone like Varun Dhawan, who started his career with 'Student of the Year', for him 'Sui Dhaaga' is an anomaly. For me, an 'AndhaDhun' is an anomaly. So I think it's just the path you are treading," he said .
He stumbled upon love. She fell in it. What does fate have in store for them? Watch #AndhaDhun in cinemas on 5th October to know.https://t.co/dtPZ4NU8Tc#Tabu @radhika_apte @manavvij #SriramRaghavan @ItsAmitTrivedi @Viacom18Movies @matchboxpix @ZeeMusicCompany @AndhadhunFilm pic.twitter.com/qDqMOrtWes— Ayushmann Khurrana (@ayushmannk) September 4, 2018
"I would love to do a hardcore commercial cinema also at the same time. I would love to but again, the script should make sense," he added.
'AndhaDhun' will hit the screens on 5th October 2018.

MIKOS: Modelled Intelligence Object System
MIKOS has been under development for over 10 years. It is a software platform for Machine Knowledge (MK) applications.
MK endows computers with the capacity to represent human knowledge in a program and apply computers' already superb reasoning and memory processing capacities to extend and apply that knowledge, potentially equaling or surpassing human performance, over a vast field of application domains.
Our focus is to put knowledge, the most powerful end product of human cognitive processes, in computers. We are not recreating an artificial human brain any more than the Wright Brother's flyer was an artificial bird. Still, the natural demarcation between the human brain, it's cognitive processing, intelligence, and the result of the that process, knowledge, provides a compelling metaphor consistent with our design.
The "Brain"
The "Brain" is the software engine that interprets our MICA knowledge processing language.
The MIKOS software engine, taken together with the computer it runs on, may be considered the "Brain" of our technology. The engine is a multi-threaded Ruby program. The J-Ruby version, itself written in Java, was chosen to enable import of third party libraries as well as enabling MIKOS to run on a variety of operating systems. The engine's modular design supports "plugging-in" multiple data interfaces which can support information ranging from simple commands and data to conversational natural language.
The engine integrates with a third-party, highly available, multi-data model, non-SQL database which stores the knowledge model. The engine supports multiple application instances on a single engine instance and has recently been tested on Amazon Web Services (AWS). At runtime, the engine's primary function is to interpret MICA our reasoning and query language that acquires, processes, and extends knowledge.
The Intelligence
The "Intelligence" is a set of MICA procedures and functions that reason about the model.
Following our analogy, programs written in our proprietary MICA language provide the "intelligence" for an application. MICA routines covert incoming information into knowledge to extend the run-time knowledge model or as a result of reasoning about knowledge, perform tasks such as converting knowledge into an outgoing stream of information. The MICA language is itself a multi-threaded, object-oriented language with a full suite of programming flow control constructs such as procedures, functions and macros. MICA is fully cable of supporting the intellectual functions we perceive in our own minds involved with acquiring, extending and refining knowledge, such as interference, inductive and deductive reasoning, pattern-recognition and memory management.
The Knowledge
The "Knowledge" is an integrated directed graph structure residing in a non-SQL database. It is independent from the engine and MICA code.
All applications of our technology have a world model as their core. Models are information structures that exists independently of the MICA routines that process them. Models are designed to represent the reality of the problem domain, not the way people talk about it, and therefore are not related to any human language or any linguistic considerations at all. The model data structure is a unique modified directed graph where edges not only connect nodes but edges themselves may have outgoing and incoming edges.
To build a model, the modeller must first understand the domain to be modelled. Then through introspection of that knowledge, core concepts and their relationships are identified and using out knowledge editor, represented in the system. Representing concepts about the world or a domain as they are rather than as we talk about them takes some getting used to and has no analog in describing something using human language or writing a computer program. We call this unique technique, Epistemological Engineering (EpE).
Building an Application
The Modelling Process
Whether in a human mind or in a machine, most world or domain knowledge, is composed of concepts that are themselves composed of simpler concepts and so on until we get down to the core or atomic concepts. The most fundamental concepts are "meta-knowledge" concepts, those that relate to the nature and structure of knowledge itself. The discovery/design and incorporation of these concepts into our "epistemological kernel" represents an inter-displinary breakthrough combining insights drawn from computer science and an original theory of epistemology.
To build a model, the modeller need understand nothing of epistemology, since the epistemological kernel is already built-in. More importantly, no knowledge of algorithm design or of programming of any kind is required. The modeller need only understand the domain to be modelled and through introspection of that knowledge, core concepts and their relationships are identified and using our knowledge editor, incorporated into the application.
Model Scope
Core models are surprisingly compact depending on the domain. Even the Common-Sense Core model that New Sapience is developing to support comprehension of everyday human language has less than 3000 core world knowledge concepts. This is not too surprising since a human 5-year-old that has just learned to read and is ready to begin formal education is estimated to have a working vocabulary of around 2500 words. This is also consistent with computational studies that have shown that 80 percent of all the words on the Internet are the same 2000 words.
"Reasoner" scope
Most but not all applications will require some custom MICA programming that specifies how the system will interpret incoming information to extend or modify the original core model. The routines or "reasoners" that support general natural language comprehension are built-in. Applications may require custom reasoners to apply knowledge to solve specific problems. Here again, because the knowledge being reasoned about is totally in the model and never in the code, the lines of code are drastically reduced compared with conventional programming. Many reasoners operate at a level of abstraction allowing the system to solve classes of problems with the specifics being instantiated at runtime.
As the product advances, more abstract reasoners will be built-in such that the out-of-box product will have a successively higher "AIQ" with each new upgrade.

1. Introduction
Rebecca Schmidt's paper goes far in the attempt to map the foggiest areas of Global Administrative Law (GAL): in general terms, those areas in which, besides the absence of clear international and binding rules, we have the additional element of complexity given by the presence of entities and bodies difficult to classify according to the public-private divide.
The task undertaken by the Author is a difficult but necessary one, and it is carried out with conviction, and with a distinctive trait which in my view, clearly brings value to the paper: an analysis of a certain sector of private rulemaking and decisionmaking (which coincides with the area of intervention of GlobalGAP), to try and ascertain whether or not the features of GAL are present here.
As the Author puts it at a given moment, the question from which the paper departs is "whether formally private actors qualify as global administrative bodies, capable of producing GAL" (see section 2.1, page 7). The Author then goes on to state that her particular perspective is that this question should be answered using what is called a "practice-based approach" (see section 2.2, pages 8 ff). After analysing GlobalGAP's activity, the Author concludes that the said practice-based approach pays off, since it makes possible to see how GlobalGAP carries out activities "of common concern" and uses "GAL principles (…) in order to respond to such concerns and thus to create proper public practices"; and although the Author does not go so far as to state that GlobalGAP is a global public regulator, she does finish by stating that, due to the impact of this entity's activity on common public concerns, "it seems necessary to require compliance with public requirements such as the GAL principles" (see section 4., page 26).
I would like to make this comment an opportunity for a reasoned and open debate on a number of questions that Rebecca Schmidt's paper suggests. As we know, while writing a review – like this text – one should not criticise the thesis the Author presents, but rather the arguments and/or methodology that support it. Therefore, my aim is not to criticise the thesis (I have no reason to do so, it is a perfectly viable thesis, in theory), but to ask whether the arguments and methodology used by Rebecca Schmidt are sufficient to support it.
There are two main points which in my view are not entirely convincing in Rebecca Schmidt's paper, and I will consider them in turn, in the following sections. Firstly, I believe the approach on the "publicness" of the "GAL principles", and of GlobalGAP's activity, takes a poor perspective of private law and private bodies; in short, the paper does not do enough to demonstrate that GlobalGAP's activity and the rules by which it abides can't be considered private law, private activity, and so on (section 2. of this comment). Secondly, I think the theoretical consistency of the "practice-based approach" applied in the paper is quite doubtful, in purely methodological terms (section 3, par. a), of this comment), and in what regards the consequences of applying such a framework of thought (section 3, par. b), of this comment). We finish with some concluding remarks (section 4. and last of this comment).
2. Global law or global public law? The shortcomings of the approach on private law and private bodies
Benedict Kingsbury's paper "The Concept of 'Law' in Global Administrative Law", undoubtedly one of the centerpieces of the Global Administrative Law (GAL) movement, and an important reference for the text I am commenting, begins with a provocative question: "What justification is there for using the term 'law' in the theory and practice of the emerging field designated 'global administrative law'?"1
I would submit that Rebecca Schmidt's paper, in addition to that question, prompts another radical question: what justification is there for using the term 'administrative' in 'global administrative law'?
In fact, it can be questioned whether Rebecca Schmidt's text doesn't prove that (quite to the contrary of her argument, I think) the topic should be global law, and not global administrative law. I'll briefly try to explain why.
In her paper, the author begins by accepting that the public-private divide is relevant, even in the international realm; and then she clearly makes the claim that GlobalGAP has implemented GAL principles, as such, that is, as public principles, directed at creating public practices – for example when she states that "GlobalGAP has spent considerable efforts to implement GAL principles into its governance framework" (section 4.2, page 25), or that "GAL principles were used by GlobalGAP in order to respond to such common concerns and thus to create proper public practices" (Conclusion, page 26).
However, it is submitted that for Rebecca Schmidt's claim, regarding the "publicness" of GlobalGAP's activity and the law it is "submitted" to, to be accepted, the Author would have first to demonstrate two things which she has not demonstrated: that the "GAL principles" mentioned are public law principles, meaning they are fundamentally different, in some relevant way, from principles of private law; and that they are or have been implemented by GlobalGAP, or are applicable to it, as public law principles.
On this regard, the paper does not give enough attention to the fact that the purported "public principles", "GAL principles", "public practices", etc., are absolutely common in private law environments, and therefore, they can't, in my opinion, be used to draw conclusions on the "public" character of GlobalGAP's activity – at least, they are clearly sufficient to reach that conclusion.
There is indeed a lack of solid and consistent elements in the GlobalGAP case analysis, that would allow us to state that the principles implemented by that body derive, in any relevant way, from public law.
Take the example of review. Quite interestingly, the text offers us the indication that there is a review mechanism within the GlobalGAP certification scheme (see section 3.2, par. c), page 17, and section 4.2, pages 24-25). When we consider these rules (which the Author clearly admits to being voluntary rules, based upon contract), we do see things that are consistent with review mechanisms of a public nature: the decision is taken by the certifier and it is appealable before that entity, and in case the appeal is unsuccessful, further appeal is possible before the GlobalGAP secretariat. It is not hard to recognize that this is similar to review procedures that occur in functionally equivalent contexts in domestic (public) laws.
However, there is a problem: private law offers many examples of review procedures, and also of many of the other aspects presented by Rebecca Schmidt as "GAL principles".
On the general point that finding a review procedure in a private context is absolutely common, let's take a simple example: when you go to a restaurant and the waiter denies you something you think you are entitled to, you ask to speak to someone in charge, say, the manager. Obviously the waiter, on 99,9% of times, will call whoever is in charge, and in some of these cases, the person in charge will trump the waiter's decision, and say you are right, and in others, they will maintain the decision.
If we analyse this situation, we can find all the features of a review procedure: but it is a review procedure that flows entirely from private law. To make the parallel more accurate, we can even add this: imagine the restaurant in question is part of a multinational corporation, which has approved a "Costumer Charter" stating that patrons have the right to ask for the manager when they are dissatisfied with a waiter's decision. Here we have a formalized review procedure; created by general rules (the hypothetical "Costumer Charter" of the franchise); affecting a multitude of costumers in numerous countries of the world; and in a sector whose practices clearly deal with matters that affect common interests – the fact that practices of the food industry affect the health of all the users who consume the food, and thus are of common concern, is a basic assumption in Schmidt's text (and I agree with it; I simply don't see why and how we can consider that everything that is of common concern has to do with public law). But regardless of all these atributes of this "review procedure", can this, in any way, be considered a matter concerning GAL?
What is said about review procedures can be said, in my view, regarding all other GAL principles Rebecca Schmidt's paper refers to (mainly in section 4.2 of her paper).
Procedural participation and transparency are absolutely common in private law, profit-driven, activities. As we see every day, companies pay more and more attention to the feedback they receive from costumers and to giving information on their activities (see McDonald's recent campaign that invites patrons to visit their restaurant's kitchens). They also try to design their products with significant input from those costumers, sometimes actively promoting this participation (for example, in campaigns where companies ask costumers what they would change in a product). The products are increasingly a "collaborative" effort, where the stakeholders' interests are present. Is this Global Administrative Law?
The giving of reasoned decisions is present, also, in many private law contexts: for example, when two private entities are negotiating a contract they are bound to giving extensive information to each other2, and if they reach the advanced stages of that negotiation, and one of them withdraws from the talks, it is a common principle of most domestic (private law) systems that reasons must be given, or it is possible that culpa in contrahendo applies3. Also, when a party to a contract applies a contractual penalty to the other party, or terminates the contract on grounds of non compliance – in modern private law, these are all situations that demand giving reasons, for reasons of good faith. Can this be considered within the realm of Global Administrative Law?
Finally, substantive standards such as proportionality, means-ends rationality, avoidance of unnecessary strict means and consideration of legitimate expectations are all clearly present in western societies' private law. In fact, some of those principles or standards (like the consideration of legitimate expectations, which derives from the principle of good faith and fair dealing) were even developed and became part of private law's acquis long before they started being mentioned by public lawyers. Proportionality, for example, emerges as a principle in the law of contract, acting, for example, as a limit to contractual penalties4, and also in the rule that contracts may only be terminated on grounds of non compliance if the non compliance is fundamental5, thus excluding immaterial flaws. Means-end rationality is absolutely essential, these days, in Corporate Law, in order to ascertain, for example, if a manager has fulfilled his/her duties under the so-called "business judgment rule" – in fact, the said rule is currently considered a relevant standard in all contexts where fiduciary duties exist, be it in private or public organizations6.
As we can see, private law clearly offers at least similar legal principles to the ones mentioned by the Author. And the fact that they are "used" or applied by private entities appears to be due to the simple fact that the application of these private law institutes allows for good, fair and responsible business. Customers of private entities keep coming back if they are well treated, if they have access to information, if they are offered due opportunity to complain about something, and so on. The literature confirms that the reasons that lead the food industry to create certification schemes are related to (private law) rules like civil liability and reputation damage 7, as Rebecca Schmidt also acknowledges.
This relates to a topic that has been sharply referred to by Benedict Kingsbury, when he rightly quoted Fuller's statement that some of the elements of law are present in "managerial directives", but only "for reasons of efficacy rather than because they instantiate the reciprocity in relations of ruler and ruled (…)"8. That is: review, transparency, proportionality, means-ends rationality, etc., are also used in private law and by private bodies, because they serve private law and private bodies' purposes. This, I think, has little or nothing to do with public law.
It should be noted that my point is not to deny that Rebecca Schmidt's "public principles" are global. My point is that it is very hard, with the elements brought to the paper, to see them as "administrative" or "public" in any relevant way, when they are applied by a private body, through a purely voluntary contractual basis.
To sum up this point: it is submitted that in order to prove the argument that GlobalGAP, a private entity, "uses" review procedures, transparency, reasoned decisions, etc., as elements and principles of a public nature, the Author was required to demonstrate that those principlescan only be found, as such, in public law and public bodies' activities, or, at least, that those principles apply differently to a body such as GlobalGAP than they do in "normal" private law and private bodies.
It is my view that not only this demonstration was not carried out, but also that the Author does not feel that it is necessary. This, I believe, is in some way related to the methodological approach of the paper, and the role played, in the paper, by the "practice-based approach" towards public practices, to which I turn to in the following section.
3. Some remarks about the "practice-based approach"
a) Why is the "practice-based approach" a better one? And what does it actually consist of?
Having come to this point, of course it must be said that I suspect Rebecca Schmidt would admit that the purely private examples given above – like the example of the "review procedure" of the waiter's decisions – would not fall under the scope of GAL in any relevant way. However, Schmidt's analytical framework makes it difficult to explain why this is so.
This difficulty, in my view, emerges from the fact that the criterion which is offered by the Author as decisive for setting the scope of "GAL public bodies" and "public acts" – the "practice-based approach" – is too open und undefined.
Such a criterion basically assumes that in matters having any sort of relation to the common good, the existance of certain "apparently public" factors (review of decisions, reasoned decision-making, etc.) is sufficient reason for assuming that those bodies and practices are of a public nature, and therefore are not only aligned with GAL, but should be subjected to the "GAL principles" (the meaning of this is also unclear, as I will argue ahead).
In fact, the Author criticises formalistic approaches (like Benedict Kingsbury's), which demand a linkage between private bodies and a public institution so as to apply GAL to those private bodies. As the Author mentions (see section 2.1, page 8), her analysis, unlike the said "formalistic" approach, makes it easier to include private bodies and acts in GAL.
But what can be asked is this: can the chief argument for defending the "practice-based approach" be that it more easily encompasses private bodies? Should a given theory be defended simply because it maximizes the scope of application of GAL? If that is the case, how do we defend against the argument that Schmidt's paper simply aims at artificially enlarging a certain scientific field of study (that of GAL)?
It is submitted that the identification of areas that pertain to the province of GAL (to adapt Taggart's well known phrase) should be materially justified, and based on criteria that are (as much as possible) objective, verifiable. If these two prerequisites (material justification and objective criteria) are not verified, we will end up saying that everything that has to do with activities taking place outside the strict sphere of intimacy belongs to the realm of public law – and I believe nobody wants this. If we expand GAL beyond what is justified, the consequence is that we will treat private matters with public law's concepts and instruments, and this is wrong. Furthermore, private actors will most certainly be absolutely surprised that their activity falls under the scope of GAL – a very serious problem, since, as I will say, it is very unclear what are the consequences of being "subjected" to GAL principles.
In light of what has been said, it seems highly questionable that the "practice-based approach" is sufficient to allow the qualification of GlobalGAP's activity as "public". The theoretical purpose of this practice-based approach seems to be a surrogate for the requisite of social consensus in the formation of a customary rule. In other words, Rebecca Schmidt tells us that a practice should be considered as "public" if it has certain "publicness" features, which are indicated by practices, and in that case, we have (public) law.
However, there are problems with this argument: the first, as mentioned above, is that the "publicness" features identified by the Author are common to private law actors and activities. Rebecca Schmidt's framework would mean that you will apply "GAL principles" to virtually all NGO's, big companies, corporations and associations which represent and regulate industry interests with global reach, and so on. In other words: a massive expansion of "public" bodies.
The second problem is that it is unclear exactly what is the relevant "practice" to be taken into account, and under which criteria. It seems clear that if you refer to practices, you are talking about some sort of a factual appreciation: practices are things that happen in the world. This raises two issues, both of them, in my view, unanswered by the paper. The first: whose version of what is a "public practice" prevails? Is the way in which GlobalGAP views its own activity relevant, or in other words, is a body public if it views itself as public (a matter of self-image)? Or is it public if someone else views it as undertaking public practices? If the latter is the case, who is the relevant subject? Academics, like Rebecca Schmidt and myself? Courts of law, or international quasi-judicial bodies? Legislators? International Organizations? Other public bodies? The general public? All of the above?
The second issue is this: reading Rebecca Schmidt's paper, one does not find any solid evidence that would support that GlobalGAP is considered – by itself or by any other actor – as carrying out a public activity ruled by public law. The Author states that GlobalGAP has implemented, or used, "GAL principles" or "public principles", but we have absolutely no information about the intention of GlobalGAP: for all we know, they provide for a certification scheme simply because their associates think it's good for business and want to implement corporate social responsibility standards. What about third-party actors? The same absence of any solid element to support the claim that GlobalGAP's activity is "public" can be found: the paper does not point out a single court decision (international or domestic), a single formal position by any State or other public body, claiming that GlobalGAP (or entities alike) should be treated like a public actor and subjected to certain consensual public law procedural or substantive standards – we have positions of States claiming that GlobalGAP's activity was bad for their domestic economies and laws, but this obviously can be said of many for-profit multinational corporations.
In fact, the only clear claim that GlobalGAP's activity is of a public nature, and should therefore be considered subjected to certain public law principles, appears to be made by the Author. I would submit that this is insufficient to reach any relevant conclusion.
b) What are the actual legal consequences of the identification of a public body and public acts through the practice-based approach?
Finally, it is submitted that Rebecca Schmidt's paper leaves an important question to be answered. The reader does not fully grasp the actual consequences of the "qualification" or identification of a certain private body as a "public body" for the purposes of GAL.
Apparently, the alternative is the following: either this operation has a purely theoretical and possibly forward-looking purpose (and in this case, we would say something like "GlobalGAP is treated, by the law, as a private body, but it falls under the scientific category of a GAL public body, so it should be subjected to its principles, and if this is not the case, we should make changes in the existing law"), or it has a dogmatic meaning, and what the Author is saying is that it is possible, in the current state of law, to consider GlobalGAP a public body, subject to public law principles, which can be argued against GlobalGAP, if it fails to comply with them.
I would say the paper under comment seems to talk what we could call "the language of public law", meaning the language of norms that apply regardless of the opinion and consent of a certain (public) body. For example, Rebecca Schmidt talks about "setting normative requirements" to the activity of these private bodies (pages 3, 9); GAL bodies "subjected to procedural GAL and the publicness requirement if their practices call for it" (page 9); activities "redefined" as public (page 17); and the "growing necessity to take regulators such as GlobalGAP out of their club-like structures and connect them with the array of stakeholders they impact" (page 20). All of these references have in common that they give an idea of Global GAP being submitted, even against its will, to a certain number of legal principles.
However, in spite the language and concepts used clearly point to a framework of legal principles, we are left in total doubt as to the possibility of enforcing the public principles GlobalGAP is allegedly submitted to. But the enforcement problem is crucial: its absence leaves several important questions unanswered.
For example, let's return to the example of the review procedures in the certification procedure set up by GlobalGAP. Given the fact that this review is foreseen in a purely contractual scheme, we could ask ourselves what would happen if GlobalGAP simply eliminated the review procedure. If this entity were truly "submitted", or "subjected", to a "public principle" of review, in the same way a public domestic body is, it should be possible for a producer to enforce such a principle. But how does it work in a GAL context? What does it mean to say that GlobalGAP is "submitted" to public law principles, when from the data presented in the paper, there is not one single element that would differentiate this situation from any other private contractual arrangement with an international character? Is it realistic to speak about the submission to public law principles when, most probably, any review body that analysed a claim emerging from the relationship between GlobalGAP and its associates would end up applying the law of the contract, that is, the domestic law both parties indicated as applicable in the contract?
Of course, it is well known that the nature of the international order does not allow for a direct equivalence between domestic and international ways of enforcing rules and principles: we probably have to admit that when GAL principles are in play, enforceability and accountability must adopt different schemes9. But one thing is to admit this, and another is to ignore the problem altogether. In fact, even in light of the complex character of global law, in which sociological and economic considerations often play a more important role than in domestic laws, we must insist that legal theories are a normative construction, a specific kind of angle through which we see the world, which is not the same angle of sociology or economy10. And in the angle of law (even global law) the aspects of binding force, ways of enforcement, consequences of the breach of rules or principles and questions alike are essential.
These are probably some of the "significant normative and practical problems" that legal writers have referred to as one of the problems of applying GAL to private bodies11, as Schmidt is aware of (see page 7). However, the reader is surprised by the fact that these problems are simply mentioned, but not specificied, let alone addressed, in the paper. Future research on this topic would seem an important and necessary test to the Author's positions in order to establish the true consistency of the "practice-based approach".
4. Conclusion
Rebecca Schmidt's paper is an interesting attemp at going further than others have gone in a very difficult topic of GAL. A detailed case analysis clearly enriches the literature on private global regulation.
Some doubts remain, however, on key points of the Author's theoretical framework. The presentation of an innovative practice-based approach is weakened by several undefined aspects of how that methodology would work, and this is not without consequences: the criterion seems too generous in the identification of public bodies for the purposes of GAL; specifically, the Author's position overlooks the fact that many of the "public principles" GlobalGAP allegedly applies are easily explainable in a purely private law framework. This entails the real danger of expanding the reach of GAL beyond what is necessary or justifiable.
Moreover, there are serious doubts as to the consequences, namely binding value and enforcement, of the identified GAL principles, in these types of cases. Without clarification of these issues, any claim that entities such as GlobalGAP are subjected to GAL principles seems bold, to say the least.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Visit Panama City Beach and the Bay County Tourist Development Council report collections for December 2017 were up nearly 20 percent compared to December 2016.
Reports show Panama City Beach is up 5.5 percent for the fiscal year as well, which began October 2017.
"December results reflect strong holiday season visitation that carried through the 10th Annual New Year's Eve Beach Ball Drop festivities," Visit Panama City Beach President and CEO Dan Rowe said in a press release. "Panama City Beach has evolved into a destination for so many to make vacation memories all 12 months including ringing in the new year."
The Tourist Development Tax in Bay County is a five percent tax on short-term rentals including hotels and condominiums.

SCOTTBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — An airline providing government-subsidized service to three Nebraska and two Kansas cities plans to end the flights later this month.
PenAir notified the U.S. Transportation Department last week that service to Kearney, North Platte and Scottsbluff in Nebraska and to Dodge City and Liberal in Kansas will cease after Sunday. The information was first reported by an airline industry news site, ch-aviation.com.
The Anchorage, Alaska-based carrier announced last month that it was filing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan and planning to close its Denver hub.
The company says it had intended to continue service until replacement carriers were chosen and in place, but it says a massive exodus of its pilots forced it to end the two states' service far sooner.

Nursing student represents Dominican at national Up to Us summit
"In high school, I had wanted to join student government for a long time, but I kept putting it off," she recalls. "When I came to Dominican, I knew early on that I wanted to get involved with leadership."
After attending Dominican's TORCH program, led by Rabbi Henry Shreibman and aimed at helping students make the transition to college life, Elena felt empowered to seek out a leadership position on campus.
"The TORCH meetings helped me feel comfortable to seek opportunities to express my leadership skills on campus," Elena says.
This year not only was Elena serving as Associated Students of Dominican University of California (ASDU) sophomore class senator, she also is representing Dominican University as the campus coordinator for the national Up to Us program. In May, Elena represented Dominican at the Up to Us Fiscal Summit in Washington, D.C.
And, as a result of her growing focus in leadership, Elena is exploring how to integrate leadership and nursing once she graduates from Dominican.
"As a nursing student at Dominican, I want to make a difference and to help others make a difference. My work on Up to Us has helped me expand my vision for what I want to do in my future. I want to work as a nurse, but also eventually go into management or policy. I am seeing that there are so many opportunities to combine nursing, policy, and leadership."
Up to US is a program that empowers students to educate peers on the country's long-term national debt and determine what college students can do to have a voice in raising awareness of the country's fiscal challenges.
When Hanna Rodriguez-Farrar, VP for Public Affairs and University Relations, heard about the Up to Us program, she asked ASDU President Hallie Balch '18 to recommend a student to represent Dominican in the annual Up to Us competition. Impressed with Elena's leadership and focus on public service, Hallie passed along Elena's name.
The competition kicked off with an event in Atlanta at which all participating colleges received training and funds to run tailored, non-partisan campus campaigns to educate their peers and inspire collective action.
When she returned to Dominican, Elena, Mariana Hernandez '20, Cameron Yee '20, and Amy Chiu '20 organized three events – including a trivia competition about the national debt – designed to encourage students to sign pledges to support Up to Us in communicating that securing a strong fiscal future is a priority for today's students.
Elena also formed partnerships with several campus organizations and departments in order to help spread the word about Up to Us. As a result of her efforts, about 400 students signed pledges. The pledges are being delivered by Up to Us to representatives, senators, and other elected officials based on each student's zip code.
Thanks to the team's work and Elena's leadership, Dominican placed in the top 20 out of more than 100 teams that participated in this year's competition. The judges congratulated the Dominican team members on their ingenuity and effort to create such a great turnout for each event and plentiful partnerships with other groups across campus.

One of my "side" projects just turned 1 and the last 365 days have been insane.
I could probably write a book about it: 12 chapters, 1 for each month. Want to know something I find fascinating? I can actually remember what happened each month by just looking at the traffic and metrics. Neat, huh?
So here are some preliminary thoughts about off the top of my head as I look back into the murky pathway that lead me here (by accident or on purpose… yet to be determined): now over 3 Million Pageviews, nearly 10,000 members, conversations galore, visits from literally around the globe (every country that has internet), and traffic to die for.
Launched November 10th, 2007, the site got some critical acclaim by the likes of Mashable, TechCrunch, Kotaku, and others. Major spike it traffic that could really never again be duplicated. The floodgates opened. Servers fried, bandwidth was suck dry, and hours of sleepless nights were upon me.
It was great.
But it wasn't without it's issues. Managing a burgeoning community online is really nothing different than real communities offline. And that's lesson learned #1.
1. Online Communities have the same issues and problems that real communities have.
As obvious (or not as obvious) as this may sound I learned it very quickly. All types of people join a community: The happy, the sad and depressed, the lonely, the trolls/flamers, the confused, the egotistical, the lamers, the genuinely awesome, the nice, the not-so-nice, the "controllers", the pacifists… etc.
Every type of "person" you can think of is there. Diverse is the right word. And that's a good thing, but what that means is that the problems of an every day human being are there too.
Managing expectations, arguments, vented frustrations, conflicts, haterisms… was daily (but thank goodness for advanced technology, reporting, and account banning/termination!).
And that brings us to #2.
2. If the technology you use doesn't aid you in managing a community effectively, throw it away.
Again, this is probably a "no duh" type of lesson here but it's one that's not so obvious at first, and you don't know it until you find yourself up in the early AM trying to manage a he-said-she-said type scenario and you're asking yourself "why?"
Make sure you're using the right technology for the right crowd. Do some really great planning (and I mean really really good planning) and chart out where and what and how your community may engage.
Stay ahead of their needs but also stay ahead of your own. Building a startup from scratch means that you can't pay anyone to moderate and that you don't have any of those "trusted" community members yet to help navigate the madness.
And that leads us to lesson learned #3.
3. Give away the community as soon as you possibly can.
What I mean by this is find the people who are passionately engaged with the content and the site and give them "rights" and "control". This helps them understand that there's a level of trust, and that you're more interested in the community being theirs than your own.
This also aids the other fellow n00bs coming in as they recognize that there are actual flesh and blood people managing the site, not some corporate giant stuck in an office building doing. It'll help engender a real sense of community, not a contrived or controlled one.
Finally, giving away the community into the community's hands also has helped me do a lot of the management of the people. They combat spam, delete flame posts, and help be "arbiters of neutral justice" and keep things in line. They also evangelize like no other and free marketing is the best kind of marketing, and that's lesson learned #4.
4. Managing a Community is also about managing a constantly evolving marketing initiative and brand.
This may not make complete sense, but it is so very important. Managing a growing community is also about making sure the right message is being conversated, discussed, and spoken outside the walls of the immediate community.
This can be a little nebulous but the impact is dramatic, and managing this brand image is all a part of messaging. Now, you have to give up some of the control (and this really isn't a choice) but guiding your community to the right messages is possible.
As a result, the community grows in the right direction, even as things may change along the cultural and technological landscape… which leads me to my 2nd to last thought for the day.
5. Change is to be expected: Be ready to roll with the punches (and then get up).
We went through changes like no ones business. Every type of possible change, from the business side, to the design, to the technology, to the infrastructure, to the landscape of personalities… we went through it all.
But this wasn't the surprise; I knew that that would happen. The surprise was at how rapid a pace these things occured and how quickly a community manager has to respond, or die.
An online community, for the most part, is fairly malleable, and I say that with caution; they can only take so much change, but with the right ingredients they're willing to follow you. There's so much about this in Seth Godin's "Tribes" that I could cry (I wish I had that when I first started) but I'm glad I learned it with the Godinizing.
The big lesson though was learning about how willing, ready and open the community was to change and how quick they rallied behind the changes and killed nonsense and negativity from those that were overly critical and didn't really care much for the community anyways. And this leads us finally to my last closing thought on the previous 365 days:
6. The community will defend their caretakers and leaders.
Wow. This was a fantastic and eye-opening learning experience for me and one that I will continue to hold dear as I work in the online community space: If you nurture and care for your community, they will return the favor.
I could probably write much more on #6 alone, but I'll leave it at that. There are much more learning opportunities out there and I'm still learning daily.
It's an exciting time to be a "community manager," in whatever community and/or tribe you're leading.
Are you doing it well?

The next thing you feel after this is a terrible headache queasy feeling in your tummy. And, probably all those antics of yours have given you a muscle and joint pain as well. Welcome to the world of Hangover!!!
For the starters this hangover will be a bearable, with some basic precaution.
Don't drink on an empty stomach
Don't mix several different drinks. Stick to only one of the alcohol kind.
Drink lots of water once you have consumed alcohol to be free from hangover
However, if these precautions have failed you, and the hangover is unbearable, the following tips could help you get over it without causing any more discomfort.

Former US Defense Secretary says that the cabinet can't stop a nuclear war if President Donald Trump wants one.
Bill Perry, who served as secretary of defense for former President Bill Clinton, told Politico on Wednesday that nuclear war has "become more probable in the last year, partly because of President Trump," and partly due to events beyond the president's control.
He added that Trump doesn't understand the North Koreans, and doesn't understand what his rhetoric is doing.
Trump has often deviated from diplomatic protocols and attacked leaders of other nations by calling them names.
He stirred a controversy a few weeks back by deriding North Korea leader Kim Jong-un as "rocket man," a move that experts said was unbecoming of a president.
Perry mentioned US Secretary of Defense James Mattis and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as a "stabilizing influence," with this president.
Mattis had previously said the…

How to Naturally Pass a Drug Test After Smoking Weed
Nugg Team | July 24, 2015 | 15 Comments
For the modern-day cannabis-user, the infamous "drug test" can pose a daunting challenge, as it can be difficult to naturally pass. The truth is, company-sponsored tests can force you to make difficult decisions about your health and/or career. Luckily, there are a few (natural) preventative measures you can take to ensure you don't lose your job on account of ingesting your prescribed medication.
For the recreational marijuana-user, there's really no excuse; you can pass a drug test by simply not consuming cannabis for X amount of time before the test (more on how to determine X shortly). But for the medical user, things become more difficult. Not impossible, but difficult.

Spring forage management to reduce the risk of health problems in horses
SPRING FORAGE MANAGEMENT TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HEALTH PROBLEMS IN HORSES by Dr David Marlin
For most of us there are clear signs that Spring is on the way. This is good news as many owners will start to think about increasing turnout time for stabled horses. However, Spring and increased grass growth bring a few potential problems for domesticated horses.
This is one of the basic rules of feeding horses to avoid GI problems! In the same way that you should not switch from one hay straight on to another (but gradually mix the old and increasing amounts of the new for 10-14 days) avoid making sudden changes form hay/haylage to pasture as this can be a risk for COLIC and/or LAMINITIS due to disturbance in hindgut bacteria in particular. So as an example, if your horse is currently stabled with 8h turnout on poor pasture, as the grass starts to flourish it may be sensible to significantly reduce time at pasture or consider other ways of reducing intake (e.g. grazing muzzles, strip grazing, etc) for several weeks and allow the pasture intake to increase gradually. The highest risk is likely to be for horses that are prone to colic or have previously had laminitis but turning any horse straight out onto fresh pasture for long periods straight from being stabled and/or on winter pasture is a big risk. Feeding a high dose of a protected live yeast probiotic has been shown to help reduce GI disturbances due to forage change.
As with kids and sugar rush, the high sugar content and increased energy intake from fresh pasture compared with hay can lead to unwanted changes in behaviour. Look at any horse Facebook group and you will see the posts start to appear on this topic as the grass comes through. Another good reason to think about managing the transition from primarily hay to pasture or poor pasture to new growth in Spring.
Great Britain has the highest incidence of grass sickness in the world and the disease occurs in most areas of England, Wales and Scotland; Eastern counties being particularly at risk. Most cases are seen in April-July with a peak in May – when new grass growth occurs. Support of the Hindgut Microbiome may help reduce risk and the use of probiotics has been suggested by the Equine Grass Sickness Fund. Further information on EGS is available here: Equine Grass Sickness Fund
Horses prone to tying-up are best managed on low carbohydrate (starch, sugar) diets. New growth grass is much higher in carbohydates, especially sugars. The sugar content of the grass will normally be higher on very sunny warm days. In addition, sugar content tends to rise during the day (in relation to sunlight), peaking in the afternoon/early evening.
(1) Assess the risk to your horse. If your horse is a good doer, overweight, EMS/PPID/Cushings, has a history of colic, tying-up, grass-sickness and or lamintis, then new Spring grass represents a significant risk.
(2) If the risk is high, you can..
(a) try to manage turnout and grass intake – muzzle, duration, strip grazing, time of day, etc
(b) Provide some support with probiotics e.g.
Science Supplements BETA Award-winning Gut Balancer
……..20x more protected live yeast per dose than Protexin
(c) Do nothing and accept the risk
(d) If your horse is at livery you can speak to the owner/manager – if they refuse to do anything you can accept the risk or move your horse somewhere else.
(1) Be alert to sudden new grass growth as this can be a risk for Colic, Laminitis & Grass Sickness.
(2) Manage the transition from primarily stabling and or turnout on poor grass to increased turnout on new growth carefully.
(3) Remember that grass sugar content will be highest on very sunny days and int he afternoon evening. Turning out late evening and bringing in during the morning can help reduce sugar intake. Horses are also usually less active overnight and total intake is normally lower than during the day.
(4) A high dose protected live yeast probiotic can help reduce the risk of hindgut disturbance associated with changing pasture conditions and management in Spring.
