2010 Trips
May- We took a day trip out to San Francisco. We went to the zoo then walked around Fisherman's Wharf and Ghiradelli Square. Then we met Grandma Michele for dinner and a drive down the curviest road in the US.
June- A week after school got out I took the kids to Stinson Beach, just north of San Francisco. It was a little chilly in the beginning but then it warmed up. I got so sunburned, it was really bad. The kids had a great time and played in the water for ever. Parker, however, was terrified of the sand and wanted nothing to do with it.
July- We drove up to Seattle with Josh's mom and sister for fun afternoon in Seattle. We went to a House of Hoops opening and saw Brandon Roy. We had a yummy lunch and walked around a little bit. It was Josh's first time in Seattle.
August- While in Portland we went to Lincoln City for the day. The weather was perfect. Parker was terrified of the sand for the first hour or so. Grandpa was finally able to get him to walk around in it and then he had fun. We had Dairy Queen and the kids had their first dilly bars.
August- I took the kids up to visit Portland before school started and to meet Holden. Josh was able to meet us for 2 days at the end of the trip. The kids played and played outside. They just love being at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
November- While my mom, brother Ryan, and nephew Jack visited we took a day trip to San Francisco. We took the kids on their first trolley ride. Parker loved it. I was able to meet up with a child hood friend that I hadn't seen in 12 years. It was a great day in San Francisco, warm and sunny!

Day 365 of 365
Today is the last day of the year and Carson's 7th birthday. I have successfully blogged every day this year! Today Carson picked chocolate chip muffins for breakfast. He played the Wii and then we got ready for his birthday party. He invited Cam, Abbie, and Rian to his party, a Giants theme of course. He had a wonderful party. After his party we had pizza, put Legos together and watched a movie. Carson really wanted to stay up until midnight, but he only made it until 9:45. I still can't believe he is 7 years old!! Happy Birthday little man!

Day 364 of 365
Today we attempted to get a few things accomplished. Josh had to work for an hour. We cleaned up the house a little. Josh and Carson took all the cardboard and garbage from Christmas to the dump. We had waffles, again. Tonight we dropped the kids off at the Bassett's. They were so nice. They watched the kids for 3 hours and fed them dinner. The kids had so much fun playing over there. Josh and I went on our date night. We went to dinner, went to the mall, and went to a few places to do some birthday shopping for Carson. It was a wonderful, kids free evening!

Day 363 of 365
Today we were a little more productive. Josh worked on the 2010 video. Then we cleaned the house up before Nicole, Cam, and Tanner came over to visit. The kids had fun playing with Cam and showing them all their new stuff from Christmas. I made a big dinner but no one was really into it. Josh made me a special video with all the pictures of us. Out of 40,000 pictures we had 5 minutes worth of pictures with both of us. We must be better about taking pictures together!

The kids played with their toys and games all day. They are still very occupied! Josh and I relaxed. I looked through some new cookbooks. It has been wonderful being lazy.

Day 359 of 365
Today was Christmas Day! Carson started waking up at 5:00 asking if we could open presents. I said no, then he was up at 5:30, 5:45 and finally at 6:15 we said ok. We got Parker up and let him wake up a little. The kids ran out of our room to see what Santa brought them. They were so excited to see their stocking full, presents by the fireplace and the cookies eaten. We opened stockings. Stocking favorites- mini Lego (Carson), tube of sharks (Cooper), Lipstick and bracelets (Emma), the Joker and Thomas (Parker), razors (Joshua) and new perfume (me). After stockings the kids opened the presents from Santa, new stuffed animals, 120 crayon box for each of them, how to draw books, Legos, Barbies and Thomas. While they played with those presents I made breakfast. We had french toast, eggs, and sausage. Josh and I took a quick shower and then we opened presents. The kids really did a great job opening just one at a time and watching everyone else open their presents. We opened presents from Mommy and Daddy. Then we did our gift exchange presents. We took a little break to pick everything up and get a little more organized. Then we opened presents from Uncle Kurt and then got on Skype to open presents with Grandma, Grandpa and everyone else watching. They all got exactly what they asked for! After that we opened presents from Grandma Michele and Grandpa Jim. They loved everything they got. It was almost 1:00 by the time we finished opening everything. Carson and Cooper spent the afternoon playing their new Wii games, DS games, and Leapster games. They also made some Flip videos and tried on new clothes. Emma spent the afternoon playing Barbies, playing with the Leapster and dressing up in her new Tangled dress. Parker spent the afternoon playing with all the new Batman toys and of course, his Bigfoot. He loves that thing and it is so funny to watch him play with it. Josh and I relaxed, put toys together, and clean up all the garbage that comes along with Christmas. We had a nice dinner. Then everyone got in their pj's, Cooper of course in his new shark robe, and we watched Despicable Me. It was an amazing Christmas!! We are so blessed!! What a fantastic day!

Source: Catholic Outlook, September 2016
Dear friends,
Last month, the Church celebrated the 102nd Migrant and Refugee Sunday, which was made all the more special in the context of the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Pope Francis, speaking on this occasion, acknowledges that refugees and people fleeing their homes challenge individuals and communities, and their traditional ways of life; at times they upset the cultural and social horizons which they encounter.
However, we need to see them as our brothers and sisters who, like us, are in search of justice, freedom, dignity and opportunity for development.
Affirming our Christian duty of care for them in the face of rising intolerance, the Pope writes: "Today, more than in the past, the Gospel of mercy troubles our consciences, prevents us from taking the suffering of others for granted, and points out a way of responding which, grounded in the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity, find practical expression in works of spiritual and corporal mercy."
As Christians, our attitude towards those in need is formed by our own experience of God's love and mercy. We can show them the love and mercy of God precisely because we ourselves are the recipients of the same love and mercy.
Our encounter and acceptance of others is intertwined with the encounter and acceptance of God himself. Welcoming others means welcoming God in person!
Pope Francis admonishes us: "Do not let yourselves be robbed of the hope and joy of life born of your experience of God's mercy, as manifested in the people you meet on your journey."
Many of us in Western Sydney are, in fact, beneficiaries of the Australia that dared to welcome the unwelcomed. As a former refugee, I remember with pride and gratitude the Australia that rose to the challenge in the wake of the boat people crisis in the 1970s and 80s. It accepted an unprecedented number of Asian refugees for the first time in its history.
Even though there have been challenges in their resettlement and integration, the Australia that embraced them exemplified the best of the Australian spirit.
It dared to afford the privilege of opportunity to the underprivileged and a fair go to the underdog. It lived up to its call and destiny as a civilised, free, diverse and richly blessed migrant nation.
Migrants and refugees are beneficiaries of Australia. But they, in turn, also enrich this nation. Australia is what it is today because of their love of freedom and fundamental human values. Australia is what it is today because of their determination and drive for a better future.
We honour the legacy of this great nation not by excessive protectionism, isolation and defence of our privilege at all costs. Rather, we make it greater by our concern and care for asylum seekers in the spirit of 'a fair go', compassion and solidarity that has marked the history of our country from its humble beginnings.
We stand united with one another, with men and women of goodwill in working for the coming of the Kingdom. We stand united with Pope Francis who has given us a strong leadership on the care of asylum seekers and refugees.
His words and gestures, in particular, inspire us to speak and act in favour of God's poor for whose cause we will be judged. "As you did it to the least of these, you did it unto me" (Matthew 25:40).
These words of Jesus teach us to see the face of the Incarnate God in our asylum-seeking brothers and sisters. It is our duty, as Pope Francis says, to replace indifference with compassion, ignorance with respect and suspicion with love.
Our Catholic faith commits us to build a new society and a new world according to the kingdom vision of Jesus. With the men and women of goodwill, let us build a better Australia and a better world with the values of the Gospel.
May our endeavour to replace the culture of fear and indifference with that of encounter and acceptance be brought to fulfilment in accordance with God's vision of the fullness of life for all humanity.
Yours in Christ,
Bishop Vincent Long OFM Conv

What Mitch Kapor writes in the context of Chandler is relevant for us also:
Implementation must be sequenced: It's not a real project until commitments are made to defer some capabilities. Doing everything at once is not an option.
First, provide core functionality users expect. In order for the product to be adopted, it must have the critical mass of features people expect.
A few killer features are needed from the outset to make adoption worthwhile. Killer feature ideas must be sufficiently well-developed as ideas to be willing to place bets on them.

Former WNBA players Allison Feaster and Stacey Lovelace make the most out of NBA post-career opportunities
Both finished the inaugural class of the NBA Basketball Operations Associate Program and are in with the G League
Allison Feaster and Stacey Lovelace were both dominant college players on the basketball court in the '90s. They both went on to have lasting professional basketball careers. And after retiring from the game, they both turned to the same NBA league program to lead them into their next chapter in life.
They both were part of the inaugural NBA Basketball Operations Associate Program, which was created to prepare former NBA and WNBA players to pursue career opportunities in team management positions.
Along with former NBA players Brian Cardinal, Drew Gooden, Corey Maggette and Troy Murphy, Lovelace and Feaster were trained in basketball operations core competencies and gained exposure to team-facing league departments.
The experience gives participants one year of full-time employment while offering league office experience that includes joining meetings, lending their input to league initiatives, and attending games and league events (All-Star Weekend, draft combine and summer league).
"There was no employment promise at the end of the program, just having faith that something would materialize," Feaster said of the yearlong program based at the NBA's offices in New York.
Feaster led the nation in scoring at Harvard University in 1998 before being drafted fifth overall into the WNBA by the Los Angeles Sparks. Over her 10-year career, she also played with the Charlotte Sting and Indiana Fever, as well as in Europe from 1998 through 2016. While playing in Spain she contemplated switching gears. She'd already earned her MBA and was an NBA Ambassador in Europe and Africa — volunteer work she loved.
"I got a job offer to work at NBA Spain, in Madrid," she said. "Right as I was about to accept that role, I got a call from Greg Taylor [senior vice president of player development for the NBA] here at the league office, telling me about this program. It was obviously an opportunity that I couldn't let slip away. It was the opportunity I've been waiting for so many years."
Feaster is now the G League player personnel and coach relations lead and serves as one of the primary liaisons for the NBA G League Basketball Operations group. Her responsibilities include maintaining relationships with players, agents and coaches, engaging with the NBA G League Competition Committee regarding playing rules and roster construction, and serving as the point person for the league's international strategy.
Feaster calls her experience in the program door-opening and educational. In addition to the program's work assignments, they were tasked with exploring their areas of weakness. The end result was a Harvard Business School executive education program as a part of the management development program.
She advises other players transitioning out of basketball to "be prepared."
"A lot of players expect a transition from the court to a front office or to the league office or to the next career to be seamless, and it's not …," Feaster said. "There are people that are nonathletes that have worked years and years to have their positions in these organizations. Just the simple fact of being a former player is not enough.
"It's hard dedicating your life to physically being at your best and competing in one arena day in and day out, and then to have that door close and have to start completely over. I would say invest the free time that you have as a player to strengthen yourself. It's a grind."
Feaster and Lovelace both identified the G League as a place where they'd fit.
"It just so happens that toward the end of the program, a position became available," Feaster said.
Lovelace, a Detroit native, started her WNBA career with the Seattle Storm in 2000 and played professionally for 14 seasons. The Purdue standout and two-time Associated Press All-American retired from the WNBA in 2008 and earned a master's degree in sports management from the University of Michigan in 2014.
She found the business of sports intriguing. She was an assistant coach at Oakland University in Michigan when she got the call about the operations program. She didn't want to pass up on the new and exciting opportunity.
"It was something that I had inquired about in passing, but because it was a new program at the time, there weren't a lot of specifics as to what the program would look like," Lovelace said. "I jumped at the opportunity. … I felt like it was something I would be interested in."
Lovelace is now the player development program officer for the NBA G League. She is responsible for the execution of NBA G League Player Development programming, including team awareness meetings and the NBA G League continuing education and life skills program.
"The operations program was an immersing experience into the business side of basketball at the NBA," Lovelace said. "We got to learn about a lot of the different areas that the league has available. As a player, we're kind of limited to our exposure to the business. What the program did was expose us on a different level to all of the different areas of the business, from referee operation, from basketball operations, to player development, which is what I do now, to G League, W, just all of the things that's going on behind the scenes in the league office."
For other WNBA players interested in the program, Lovelace's advice is to "just work."
"The opportunities will present themselves if you just work and continue to utilize relationships that you built," she said.

I went through a toxic relationship. Blinded by our memories, I ignored every sign in front of me. I made him my priority, but to him, I was not.
We broke up and it was hard on me. I kept thinking about him. Hell, there were nights I didn't want to sleep because I was afraid I would dream about him. He was just there, in my life. Texting him every day right when I wake up, before I shower, before I get out of bed. Basically before anything else. He just became a routine, you know? A favorite routine.
Then one day he's gone.
I wake up crying, I look at my phone and there were no texts from him, I would cry while taking a shower. I couldn't stop crying for months thinking "Why wasn't I good enough?" "What did I do wrong?"
God, I missed him so much.
But then one day, I decided to not be that broken hearted girl. I don't want to be the girl with just another breakup story. I had two choices, to go back to being the old me or become a new me.
I wanted become better, happier than before. I needed to wake myself up. That my happiness doesn't rely on others, it relies on me. I kept moving forward, I thought more about myself, I kept a positive mind. I started to be a new me, a happier version.
I spent more time with friends. I caught up on what's happening with them and if there's something new. That day, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. That the grass is greener on the other side. But it all came crashing down. The light started to fade and I turned to a different tunnel. There I was, standing, I was indeed a new me, but a different one. At least not the one I expected to become. There was a third way to becoming new.
I was happy, contented with life, friends, and family, but I was afraid. I was afraid that something could sneak up on me and change everything. It was like an itch I couldn't scratch. And I realized, that fear, that itch, was a relationship.
I was afraid of being in a relationship.
I was afraid of being in love again. The fear of not being good enough. The fear being blind again. I never want to go back to that place again. So, I made myself unavailable.

Notice of Conclusion of Re-investigation
Archived - Stainless steel sinks
Archived Content
Information identified as archived is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. Please contact us to request a format other than those available.
Ottawa, July 7, 2016
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today concluded a re-investigation of the normal values, export prices and the amounts of subsidy of certain stainless steel sinks originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China, in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA).
The re-investigation was initiated on March 1, 2016, as part of the CBSA's enforcement of the finding made by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal on May 24, 2012.
The subject goods are described in Appendix 1 and are normally classified under the listed ten-digit Harmonized System classification numbers contained in Appendix 1. Additional product information explaining which products are subject to duties and which products are not subject to duties is also provided in the appendix.
At the initiation of the re-investigation, the CBSA sent Requests for Information (RFI) to importers, exporters, vendors, and the Government of China to solicit information on the costs and selling prices of subject and like goods as well as any subsidy programs that may be applicable to subject goods. The information was requested for purposes of updating the normal values, export prices and amounts of subsidy for subject goods imported into Canada. Specific normal values and amounts of subsidy for future shipments have been determined for all exporters that provided a complete submission.
Exporters that have been provided with specific normal values effective July 7, 2016:
Guangdong Dongyuan Kitchenware Industrial Co., Ltd.
Guangdong Yingao Kitchen Utensils Co., Ltd.
Guangzhou Komodo Kitchen Technology Co., Ltd.
Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise Ltd.
Where sufficient information is not available to determine a specific normal value, normal values for future shipments will be determined by ministerial specification, which is calculated by advancing the export price of the goods by 103.1%. For all exporters of subject goods not listed above, normal values will be determined by this ministerial specification.
Amount of subsidy for co-operative exporters effective July 7, 2016:
|Amounts of Subsidy (Chinese Renminbi per Unit)
|Guangdong Dongyuan Kitchenware Industrial Co. Ltd.
|Guangdong Yingao Kitchen Utensils Co. Ltd.
|Guangzhou Komodo Kitchen Technology Co., Ltd.
|Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise Ltd.
|All other exporters
For all other exporters of subject goods from China, the amount of subsidy will be determined in accordance with a ministerial specification, and is equal to 264.94 Chinese Renminbi per unit.
Normal values and amounts of subsidy will be effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after July 7, 2016. All normal values and amounts of subsidy previously in place expire on this date. In addition, the normal values and amounts of subsidy determined on the basis of the re-investigation will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re-determined at the time of the conclusion of this re-investigation.
No case arguments or reply submissions were received during the course of the re-investigation.
Where a producer or exporter becomes aware that there have been substantial changes to domestic prices, market conditions or costs associated with production and sales of subject goods, the CBSA should be advised in order that normal values can be reviewed and updated if required, to reflect current conditions. Similarly, the amount of export charges to be deducted from the export price may also need revision to reflect current conditions. Where changes have occurred and the CBSA has not been advised in a timely manner, the extent of these changes could warrant retroactive assessments of anti-dumping duties.
Importers are reminded that it is their responsibility to calculate and declare their anti-dumping and countervailing duty liability. If importers are using the services of a customs broker to clear importations, the brokerage firm should be advised that the goods are subject to anti-dumping and countervailing measures and be provided with sufficient information necessary to clear the shipments. To determine their liability for anti-dumping and countervailing duty, importers should contact the exporters to obtain the applicable normal values and amounts of subsidy. For further information on this matter, refer to Memorandum D14-1-2, Disclosure of Normal Values, Export Prices, and Amounts of Subsidy Established Under the Special Import Measures Act to Importers, on the CBSA's website at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d14-eng.html.
The Customs Act applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti-dumping and countervailing duties. As such, failure to pay the duties within the prescribed time will result in the application of the interest provisions of the Act.
Should the importer disagree with the determination made on any importation of goods, a request for re-determination may be filed with the Director General, Trade and Anti-dumping Programs Directorate, 11th Floor, 100 Metcalfe St., Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0L8. Such a request must be received within 90 days from the making of the determination in the form and manner outlined in Memorandum D14 1 3, Procedures for Making a Request for a Re-determination or an Appeal of Goods Under the Special Import Measures Act, on the CBSA's website at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d14-eng.html.

Appendix 1
Product Definition
Subject goods are:
Stainless steel sinks with a single drawn bowl having a volume between 1,600 and 5,000 cubic inches (26,219.30 and 81,935.32 cubic centimetres) or with multiple drawn bowls having a combined volume between 2,200 and 6,800 cubic inches (36,051.54 and 111,432.04 cubic centimetres), excluding sinks fabricated by hand, originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China (hereafter referred to as certain stainless steel sinks).
Additional Product Information
For purposes of the definition of the subject goods, volume is calculated as the product of the length, width and depth of the bowl, regardless of the taper and radius of the bowl, where length and width are measured from front to back and left to right of the bowl rim and where depth is measured from the bowl rim to the bottom of the sink at the point closest to the drain.
For purposes of the definition of the subject goods, "sinks fabricated by hand" refers to the process by which sinkware is formed by hand. The sink stock is notched and folded, and sides are then welded and hand-polished to form a box-like shape. Hand-fabricated sinks may also be referred to as handcrafted or handmade sinks.
The subject goods may be supplied with seals, strainer or strainer sets, mounting clips, fasteners, sound-deadening pads, cut-out templates, and additional accessories such as rinsing baskets and bottom grids.
Stainless steel sinks are commonly used in residential and non-residential installations including in kitchens, bathrooms, utility and laundry rooms. Stainless steel sinks sold in Canada are required to be manufactured in accordance with ASME A112.l9.3-2008/CSA B45.4.08. Stainless steel sinks are available in a variety of shapes and configurations. They may have single or multiple bowls, and may be undermount, top mount, or designed as work tops.
Stainless steel sinks are generally made from grades 301, 304 and 316 cold-rolled stainless steel sheet that is 16, 18 or 20 gauge. The subject goods may be made of additional stainless steel grades and thinner or thicker gauges. Gauge refers to the nominal thickness of steel. Typically, the lower the number, the thicker the material (e.g. 16 gauge = 0.060 inches, 18 gauge = 0.046 inches, 20 gauge = 0.035 inches). Grade identifiers such as T301, T304 and T316 are American Iron and Steel Institute designations for the chemical composition of stainless steel.
Each designation has a specific chemical makeup that provides the steel with its unique properties (e.g. mechanical properties, weldability and corrosion resistance). Terms such as 18-8 and 18-10 are commonly used to describe the chemical composition of the stainless steel. The first number defines the nominal percentage of chromium in the steel and the second number defines the nominal percentage of nickel in the steel.
Additional Product Information

The media world is reeling after the announcement of the death of Caroline Flack.
Another celebrity has taken her life. OK, there are many factors at play here: her mental health wasn't stable, she was in a social world which is rife with trolls, she had risen to fame through many popular TV shows, and she was unfortunately waiting for a court trial.
But, in spite of everything, should the onslaught of troll vitriol be the norm for celebrities? Should they put up with hate comments just because they are famous?
Overflow of emotion
For the past few months I have noticed more announcements on social media that people are fed up of hate comments. This detrimental style of engagement is not appreciated any more. Both by those who are at the receiving end, and by those who come across them.
There is a trend going away from negativity towards positivity. Away from horribleness towards being kind to each other.
Even Caroline herself tweeted about this before she died:
And this image was highlighted multiple times during the Twitter storm that occurred in the 24 hours after her death was announced, including the hashtag #BeKind.
Why so much negativity?
The world appears to be saturated with negativity. You see it everywhere: online and offline media, advertising, social interaction, politicians throwing unkind comments at each other across the parliament floor. (Celebrities are now starting to open up saying they can't cope with negativity on Twitter.)
And who is it that has fuelled this? Is it the media, press and other influencers? Has it become an acceptable way of life? Does it really have the desired effect it is working towards?
An interesting point was made in television discussions following this incident. People are still willing, nay compelled, to click on negative links and titles. They still buy the newspapers and subscribe to the media shows and social media news, in spite of the terrible content which is delivered.
The ordinary 21st century person is enthralled with horrible, detrimental, nasty and negative subjects. There are even more negative words in our vocabulary for us to choose from when making our hate comments. How can we drag ourselves away from this?
Ditch hate comments
It's time to take a step back and look at ourselves. Stop reacting on impulse to whatever we have just read, heard or watched.
I know we live in a world when everything needs to be immediate, tasks need to have been done yesterday and any kind of delay is intensely irritating. We have lost the power of patience. The British used to be experts at queuing and being polite. What has happened to this?
Technology has allowed us to instantly respond. It has become normal to show our appreciation or disgust. And unfortunately disgust is more prevalent in hate comments. Many people take on troll-like tendencies and criticise even the tiniest point because it doesn't match their considered perfection.
Where is our tolerance? The ability to bite your tongue and give yourself time out to calm down is evaporating fast! Who really stops and thinks about the effect their negative comment will have on those who receive it?
There is even a TV advert about a girl who changes her comment about her friend's new hairstyle from a negative to a positive one. The ad even shows the implications that arise from doing so. Any snide comments about her friend's fringe would have far reaching consequences which would have been more than just losing a friend.
Start being kind instead
One of the reasons why Caroline Flack took her own life was because of her mental health. It's not easy being a celebrity. There are huge demands put upon you which are extremely stressful to fulfil.
However, I'm sure a constant flow of negativity wouldn't have helped if you are wavering on the brink of depression. Being bombarded with hate comments is the last thing you want.
But these despicable and psychopathic people who continuously trolled her had no intention of understanding her situation. They had an axe to grind, never mind the implications this caused. To them Caroline was invincible, an empty shell with no emotions, her celebrity status protected her from any negativity thrown at her.
But this isn't true – not for anyone, let alone Caroline. Many successful people are experts at hiding their emotions. It's not good to be seen weeping, you have to plaster on that smile however you feel.
One tweet I saw said "Just because a person carrys it well, doesn't mean the load isn't heavy. Be kind always." And that's just it! We need to start being kind – always!
Ramp up the positivity
Positivity breeds kindness. Consideration. Understanding the other person's reactions, emotions, point of view. This is an anathema to a troll. But it shouldn't be for the ordinary, everyday person!
What we really need is some sort of crisis, where everyone comes together and pulls their weight. A bit like all the flooding that has happened in Wales, Yorkshire and the South West this winter. But this needs to have a much wider spread.
Just like the floods, there is the potential for loss of life. The situation for these people has become untenable. Something needs to be done to prevent this catastrophe from happening again. But it needs everybody to stop writing hate comments, not just a few.
The general way of thinking needs to change. We need to stop and think before we publish. Try to curb our impulsiveness and consider the other's point of view. Be tolerant of and appreciate differences and rather than wanting to destroy them.
And above all we need to understand why we should do this. We need to see the mess we're in and be shown the way forward to rectify this. We need to be given guidelines in how to behave properly: be kind, considerate, forthcoming, appreciative, positive.
And if you want to know more about this, then take a look at my 'How to deal with a troll' e-course. This is much more than just sorting out trolls, I have a large section on negativity as well, not to mention my underlying message throughout: be kind and positive – always!

text: Another hurdle encountered in human relationship is - hardheartedness, cruelty. A man does not treat his subordinates affectionately. With his superiors, he has to behave himself perforce, or he would be in hot water. How can one maintain one's superiority if one treats his inferiors on an equal footing? This concept seems to be well entrenched in our society. A master experiences difficulty in treating his servant gently. But he takes great pride in speaking softly and sweetly with people of his own status. But how can one be soft and sweet to one's servant? A servant must be treated severely with customary abuse. This concept has vitiated all our relationships. Everywhere today it has become the general rule to treat one's inferiors with severity. If a mill owner treats the labourers gently, how can he get any work out of them? How will the mill function? Such notions have effected a great breach in social contacts and social and human relationships. We seem to have forgotten that through love and goodwill and pure and holy sentiments, a man may be so awakened and inspired as is not at all possible through severe regimentation. Today, through scientific research, new truths have come to light, such as the fact that it is possible through holy and loving sentiments to develop plants and flowers and to increase the crop-yield. In view of this, why cannot a fully conscious person further evolve in an atmosphere of purity and goodwill? After all he is not a lifeless stone. Even a stone may be somewhat endowed with consciousness with pure feelings. When a big rock has to be lifted, 5-7 people wholly dedicate themselves to it, and lift the rock through sheer will-power.Courtesy, gentleness, softens everyone. If you entertain kindly feelings of love towards anyone, he melts. Treated with affection, the cow starts giving more milk, the tree more flowers and fruit, and the vines start growing in a different direction. A Christian woman conducted an experiment. She sowed a few saplings. However, one creeper would overshadow and cover them completely, so they did not get an opportunity to thrive. One day, the woman went to the creeper and said to it very gently - "0 creeper! I am sorry I shall have to cut you off! Do pardon me!" And she cut off the part of the creeper overshadowing the plants. She then made a suggestion to the creeper that it should grow in a particular direction. After a few days, the woman observed that the creeper had changed its path and started growing in a different direction! If a creeper, a plant is affected by courtesy, why should not a human being? How is it possible for a man to ignore gentleness? But we have formed anobstinate belief that man cannot be ruled by gentleness. Such a notion has only served to embitter human relations. One man continues to look upon another as an enemy, an alien.

When to have breast revision surgery will depend on your unique situation. There are several factors to consider before scheduling surgery.
Breast Implants Take Time to Settle
Most women are immediately happy with their breast augmentation surgery. However, some women are disappointed with their results and want a breast revision right away. Patients need to understand that their results may take 6 months to a year before the implants relax into their final position. Once the implants have settled in, most patients find that they are happy with their outcome. The body needs time to recover from major surgery. If after a year the patient is still unhappy, then revision surgery should be considered.
The most common reasons for dissatisfaction with breast augmentation are; the size of the implants, the choice of saline or silicone, the shape, or the style.
Choosing the Right Breast Implant
Dr. Miguel Delgado, M.D. spends a great deal of time with his breast augmentation patients to help them choose the right implant the first time. He has them do the "rice test" which allows them to visualize the size. He has them hold a saline implant and a silicone implant so they can feel the difference. Dr. Delgado explains in detail how different projections and size will fit their chest based on their chest size.
Each patient needs to decide how comfortable they are waiting to have surgery for aesthetic purposes. At some point, they may need a revision for a complication that needs to be addressed such as; a capsular contracture, a ruptured or deflated implant(s), a double bubble, asymmetry, symmastia or other complication. If the patient wants to change the size, style, or type of implant, ideally the time would be best when another revision is needed. However, this is a personal decision and the right time for surgery is when she is ready, and her body is ready.
Call Today!
Call (415) 898-4161 for an appointment today to meet with Dr. Delgado to discuss any breast revision concerns you may have.

Kraft Recalls Velveeta Shells & Cheese Products
Kraft Foods is recalling three types of Velveeta Shells & Cheese single-serving microwaveable cups due to the possible presence of small pieces of metal in the food products.

Health benefits
Saw palmetto is a remarkable herb for both men and women and is used by natural health practitioners to treat a variety of ailments such as testicular inflammation, urinary tract inflammation, coughs and respiratory congestion. It is also used to strengthen the thyroid gland, balance the metabolism, stimulate appetite and aid digestion. This wonderful herb is becoming famous for its uses in hair restoration, prostate health, sexual vigour, breast enhancement and as a nutritive tonic.
Saw palmetto berry also tones the urethra and it may be used to uphold the healthy function of the thyroid gland and urinary system.
Historical use
In the United States, its medicinal uses were first documented in 1879 by Dr. J.B. Read, a physician in Savannah, Georgia, who published a paper on the medicinal benefits of the herb in the April 1879 issue of American Journal of Pharmacy. He found the herb useful in treating a wide range of conditions. He wrote,"By its peculiar soothing power on the mucous membrane it induces sleep, relieves the most troublesome coughs, promotes expectoration, improves digestion and increases fat, flesh and strength. Its sedative and diuretic properties are remarkable".
Benign Prostate Hyperplasia
There is much scientific documentation outlining the effectiveness of the herb in treating irritable bladder and urinary problems in men with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), an enlargement of the prostate gland. BPH results in a swelling of the prostate gland that obstructs the urethra. This causes painful urination, reduced urine flow, difficulty starting or stopping the flow, dribbling after urination and more frequent nighttime urination. In addition to causing pain and embarrassment, BPH can lead to serious kidney problems if undiagnosed and left untreated. It is a common problem in men over the age of 40. Estimates are that 50-60% of all men will develop BPH in their lifetimes.
Saw palmetto does not reduce prostate enlargement. Instead, it is thought to work in a variety of ways. First, it inhibits the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). BPH is thought to be caused by an increase in testosterone to DHT. Secondly, saw palmetto is believed to interfere with the production of estrogen and progesterone, hormones associated with DHT production.
Clinical trials
Since the 1960s, extensive clinical studies of saw palmetto have been done in Europe. A review of 24 European trials appeared in the November 1998 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The trials involved nearly 3,000 men, some taking saw palmetto, others taking Proscar and a third group taking a placebo.
The men taking saw palmetto had a 28% improvement in urinary tract symptoms, a 24% improvement in peak urine flow and 43% improvement in overall urine flow. The results were nearly comparable to the group taking Proscar and superior to the men taking a placebo.
In a controlled clinical trial with patients with enlarged prostate glands, 50 patients who received saw palmetto (320 mg per day - 4 tablets taken in two separate doses with meals) were compared to 44 patients receiving placebo. Patients treated with saw palmetto urinated less frequently, produced a better flow rate and amount of urine and had less pain and discomfort in urinating than control subjects. There were actually fewer adverse side effects in patients receiving saw palmetto than in controls.
Presently, saw palmetto is being evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of BPH. If approved, it would become the first herbal product to be licensed by the agency as a treatment for a specific condition.

NEW: Now your Disney Photos are linked to your Magic Bands!
Disney has announced that all guest who were active Magic bands can now have Attraction Photos associated to their My Disney Experience account. All attraction photos that were taken in a 45 day time frame will be included.
If you don't have a magic band, no problem, you can still have your attraction pictures associated to your MDE account via your park ticket ( or memory maker card if you should have one) and a new touch point photo preview wall.
This function is currently available at the following attractions:
*Buzz Lightyear's Space ranger spin
*Space Mountain
*Splash Mountain
*Rock n Roller Coaster
*Tower of Terror
By mid November Disney hopes to implement this functionality at the following attractions:
*Test Track
*Expedition Everest
Not only will you be able to see attraction pictures on your MDE, you will now be able to see videos that previously only guests who purchased the Memory Maker package would see. Attraction Videos are now available for:
*Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
*Tower of Terror
of course all those "Magic Shots" ( you know those ones that photo pass photographers take and then but an overlay on it), will also be included on your MDE.

Economic damages are the financial costs and losses suffered by the plaintiff in a personal injury accident. These damages are intended to compensate the victim for their financial losses. For example, if a Lyft driver causes an accident, then the driver, Lyft, and the insurance company should compensate the injury victim. If you have questions about how you can recover economic damages in a Lyft accident lawsuit, contact your Colorado rideshare accident attorneys.
The attorneys at accidentdenver.com have represented injury victims of Lyft accidents and their families throughout Colorado. We will investigate your accident claim, deal with Lyft and the insurance company, and fight to get you the maximum compensation. Contact us today for a free consultation.
What Economic Damages Are Available in a Lyft Accident
Under Colorado Revised Statutes § 13-64-202, "economic loss" means pecuniary harm for which damages are recoverable under the laws of this state. Economic damages after a rideshare accident can include any financial loss, cost, or expense caused by the accident. In an auto accident personal injury lawsuit, economic damages may include:
- Cost of car repair,
- Property damage,
- Medical treatment,
- Medications,
- Physical therapy, and
- Loss of income.
Economic damages in a Lyft accident may also include future damages. For example, the losses caused by a car accident may not end with the filing of a lawsuit. The injury victim may have to deal with the financial impact of an accident long into the future. This includes future medical treatment and loss of earning capacity.
Future Economic Damages After an Accident
Future economic damages generally involve an accident that caused permanent injury. A serious back, neck, or head injury can require continuing medical care for years. Permanent injuries may also limit a person's ability to continue in their career, limiting their income potential.
A personal injury lawsuit will help the injury victim recover future losses so they do not have to continue paying the price for someone else's negligence.
Economic Damages for Victims Hit or Injured by a Lyft Driver
Sharing the road with other drivers means there is always some risk of an injury or accident. This includes other drivers on the road, pedestrians crossing the street, or cyclists out for a weekend ride. Drivers, including Lyft drivers, have a duty of care to others to drive responsibly. When a driver is careless, distracted, or violating a traffic law, it can put others at risk of an injury.
When another driver, pedestrian, or cyclist is injured in an accident with a Lyft driver, the accident liability coverage may be based on the driver's personal insurance, or Lyft's policy, depending on whether the driver was on the app at the time. If you have questions about who is responsible for compensating your losses after an accident, talk to your Denver rideshare accident attorney.
Economic Damages for Lyft Passengers Injured in an Accident
Lyft passengers expect Lyft drivers to be responsible, attentive, and follow the traffic laws. Lyft passengers are putting their health and safety in the hands of Lyft and the Lyft driver. Unfortunately, there are inherent risks of Lyft driving, which may put the passenger at risk of an injury.
When the passenger is injured in a Lyft accident, the passenger should be covered by Lyft's insurance policy with a maximum liability limit of $1 million. The time limit to file a personal injury claim related to a car accident is generally 3 years in Colorado. Contact a Denver personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident.
Denver Lyft Accident Injury Lawyers
The attorneys at accidentdenver.com have successfully represented their clients and families who were involved in injury accidents with Lyft drivers. Our Colorado attorneys understand how the rideshare and insurance companies operate and will fight to get the maximum compensation available for your injuries.

Roger Bacon Academy, the private, for-profit education management organization (EMO) that runs four public charter schools in eastern North Carolina and is headed by prominent charter school advocate Baker Mitchell Jr., appears to have failed to comply with a state-imposed September 30 deadline requiring public charter schools to disclose the taxpayer-funded salaries of any staff who are employed by the private EMOs that manage them.
A directive issued on August 13 by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction's CFO, Philip Price — on behalf of State Board of Education Chair Bill Cobey – requested all NC charter schools who contract with private, for-profit EMOs to disclose the salary information of the EMO employees who operate or help staff their schools no later than September 30, 2014. Failure to comply with this directive would result in the state placing the charter schools in financial noncompliance status, which could set them on a path toward closure.
The non-profit organization that Roger Bacon Academy manages to oversee their four schools, Charter Day School, Inc., submitted documentation to DPI on September 30, but did not include salary information for employees of the private, for-profit company.
"CDS does not possess individual salaries paid by any private corporation that furnishes services," said John J. Ferrante, chairman of the board of Charter Day School, Inc., in his September 30 letter to DPI.
North Carolina's charter schools are public and receive taxpayer dollars to operate.
Last summer, the General Assembly approved legislation that allows private, for-profit charter school management companies to keep their employees' salaries secret, even though they are paid with public funds.
The bill, SB 793 Charter School Modifications, stipulated that the salaries of charter school teachers and those who sit on charter schools' non-profit boards of directors are subject to public disclosure – but left out of that requirement are staff who are employed by for-profit companies who manage the schools.
That bill coincided with Baker Mitchell's months-long conflict with multiple media outlets that had asked him to fully disclose the salaries of all employees associated with his charter schools—teachers as well as employees of his for-profit EMO, Roger Bacon Academy. The Wilmington StarNews eventually filed a lawsuit against Charter Day School, Inc. for failure to comply with state public records law.
Gov. Pat McCrory said he'd veto any bill that shields charter schools' salaries from the public eye – but ultimately he signed the legislation, qualifying his move by saying aid he'd ask State Board of Education Chair Bill Cobey to ensure that charter schools' contracts with private entities also require the disclosure of salary information.
Following passage of SB 793, Cobey, by way of CFO Price, directed charter schools to disclose the salary information of their for-profit management companies.
"After we looked at the law with lawyers, they ensured me it was our [the State Board of Education] authority to ask all charter schools, even for-profit education management organizations, to send all the salary info to us," said Cobey.
Baker Mitchell operates four charter schools in eastern North Carolina, from which he has personally profited in the amount of 16 million taxpayer dollars in management fees over the past several years, according to IRS filings.
Mitchell is also deeply involved in charter school politics at the state level, having served on the state Charter School Advisory Board until his recent (and unexpected) resignation. He has also made campaign contributions to Sen. Jerry Tillman (R-Randolph), a key charter school advocate who sponsored SB 793, which now allows for-profit education management companies to hide their employees' taxpayer-funded salaries.

"We do not want merely to see beauty… we want something else which can hardly be put into words – to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it."
Beauty is life and life is beauty.
Life is a part of us in every way. Webster defines life as the existence of an individual human being. You exist. I exist. We are here together… we are here for a reason… called out of the darkness to live. To exist.
We are designed to fight for life, for beauty to be in union with both. By nature we are yoked to beauty. We are born with a desire to see beauty because we yearn for and appreciate beauty. Beauty can be seen in every aspect of life.
Why do I think so? If you will allow me the privilege… May I tell you a story…
I was at a very large arts festival this year… very large… I mean thousands and thousands of people. Saturday morning… the biggest day of the festival, I opened my gallery space up ten minutes early to prepare for the crowds to start filling in downtown Fort Worth. It was beautiful weather after a Friday of rain. I was ready to meet people and sell my images.
The first hour was steady traffic… not many buyers, but that is usual. People survey the artists' work, evaluate the pieces they like, and then buy mid to late day so they don't have to carry the work around the vast blocks of the festival. Usually, we have a steady traffic of small sales on a Saturday morning, but this morning we hadn't sold a thing… not a thing! I honestly couldn't understand it.
In retrospect, I know now why I didn't sell anything. It was so I would pay attention to what happened next.
Usually kids come to the festivals with their parents because they have to come… mom and dad want them to experience the world of art or, let's face it, they couldn't find a sitter. It was close to noon when my perspective was about to change.
It was coming up on noon. No sales. No prospects of sales. Except for the prospect I didn't expect. A young man about the age of my third son, Nicholas, was walking around looking at images. He was so quiet I didn't even notice him. He was not with anyone, so I assumed he was filling time waiting for his parents. Just then I was approached by an older woman who wanted to discuss one of my images, but nothing in her hand… I wasn't expecting more than conversation, but that's okay… I enjoy any opportunity to share.
After a few minutes, I assumed the boy had left as I occasionally looked over the woman's shoulder to find an empty space. As the woman wished me well and began to turn and leave, I see the boy who had been standing behind the woman. There was something different about the boy this time… he was holding a print. Just then a couple entered the gallery. They had been standing outside. I had assumed they were waiting for someone to meet them. My assumptions were correct, but was nowhere near right.
The couple was the boy's parents, and they were waiting on him. They were waiting on him to find his next piece for his collection. "How much is this, sir?" he asked. I replied with the price as he studied the image. By the way, the image he was holding is one of my favorite… one that is a reflection of my faith… the image was "Home".
"May I ask your name?" I said. "Brandon," he replied. "Nice to meet you, Brandon." I said with a smile. "May I ask how old you are?" He said, "I just turned eleven." Just then, he looked over his shoulder to his father with a smile. His father looked at me and said, "Do you accept cash, check or charge?" to which I replied, "Yes" with a smile.
As I was preparing his image for purchase, I had to ask the question I always ask… only this time I was so anxious to know the answer, I thought I was going to jump out of my skin. "Brandon, what speaks to you about this image?" His response would change my attitude and teach me a life lesson. I was taught at a young age… always find a life lesson in every experience you have… every experience.
We do not want merely to see beauty… we want something else which can hardly be put into words… well, Brandon… eleven year old, art collector Brandon did. "In the most barren places, beauty can still be found" he said. What that boy… what I mean is, young man said, just about brought me to tears.
Let me savor those words again… In the most barren places, beauty can still be found.
That's why my morning was slow… It was so I would hear those words out of the mouth of an eleven year old young man. My… his parents must be so proud of that intellectual young son of theirs.
As they began to leave, Brandon's mother said, "Thank you." I replied, "It is I who should be thanking you."
What I learned is that beauty is shown through life. The life of people… of young sons and daughters. Beauty can be seen through the life of the broken and the life of the those with faith and hope. Yes… beauty is life and the fingerprint that life leaves behind.
The image "Home" is not a composition or a concept I sketched before shooting. It was a true life landscape that was captured in one of the worst droughts in the history of West Texas. After capturing the image, I was reminded of the verse in 2 Corinthians, "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands."
This is my story about beauty.

Drug Addiction in Health Care Professionals
The abuse of prescription drugs—especially controlled substances—is a serious social and health problem in the United States today. People addicted to prescription medication come from all walks of life. However, the last people we would suspect of drug addiction are health care professionals—those people trusted with our well-being. Yet health care workers are as likely as anyone else to abuse drugs.
Even though the vast majority of DEA registered practitioners comply with the controlled substances law and regulations in a responsible and law abiding manner, you should be cognizant of the fact that drug impaired health professionals are one source of controlled substances diversion. Many have easy access to controlled substance medications; and some will divert and abuse these drugs for reasons such as relief from stress, self-medication, or to improve work performance and alertness.
This guide will help you recognize the signs that may indicate that a colleague or co-worker is diverting controlled substances to support a substance abuse problem.
What are My Responsibilities?
You have a legal and ethical responsibility to uphold the law and to help protect society from drug abuse.
You have a professional responsibility to prescribe and dispense controlled substances appropriately, guarding against abuse while ensuring that patients have medication available when they need it.
You have a personal responsibility to protect your practice from becoming an easy target for drug diversion. You must become aware of the potential situations where drug diversion can occur and safeguards that can be enacted to prevent this diversion.
How Do I Recognize a Drug Impaired Co-Worker?
Confusion, memory loss, and difficulty
concentrating or recalling details and instructions. Ordinary tasks
require greater effort and consume more time;
Interpersonal relations with colleagues, staff and
patients suffer. Rarely admits errors or accepts blame for errors or
Heavy "wastage" of drugs;
Sloppy recordkeeping, suspect ledger entries and drug
Inappropriate prescriptions for large narcotic
Insistence on personal administration of injected
narcotics to patients;
Progressive deterioration in personal appearance and
Uncharacteristic deterioration of handwriting and
Wearing long sleeves when inappropriate;
Personality change - mood swings, anxiety, depression,
lack of impulse control, suicidal thoughts or gestures;
Patient and staff complaints about health care provider's
changing attitude/behavior;
Increasing personal and professional isolation.
Should I Become Involved?
Health care professionals often avoid dealing with drug impairment in their colleagues. There is a natural reluctance to approach a co-worker suspected of drug addiction. There is the fear that speaking out could anger the co-worker, resulting in retribution, or could result in a colleague's loss of professional practice.
Many employers or co-workers end up being "enablers" of health care practitioners whose professional competence has been impaired by drug abuse. Addicted colleagues are often given lighter work schedules, and excuses are made for their poor job performance. Excessive absences from the work site are often overlooked. Drug impaired co-workers are protected from the consequences of their behavior. This allows them to rationalize their addictive behavior or continue their denial that a problem even exists.
If you recognize the aforementioned signs or symptoms in a co-worker, it's time to demonstrate concern. You may jeopardize a person's future if you cover up or don't report your concerns. Many well-educated, highly trained, and experienced health care practitioners lose their families, careers, and futures to substance abuse. Tragically, some health care workers have even lost their lives to their drug addiction because the people who saw the signs and symptoms of their drug use refused to get involved.
By becoming involved, you can not only help someone who may be doing something illegal, but more importantly, your action could affect the safety and welfare of your addicted employee or coworker AND those patients or the public who may come in contact with him or her.
What If I Know That Drugs Are Being Sold or Stolen?
Drug abuse and drug dealing are serious problems that should be handled by qualified professionals. If you suspect that a drug deal is in progress, do not intervene on your own. Contact security or notify the police.
If you are a DEA registrant and become aware of a theft or significant loss involving controlled substances, you must immediately report the theft or loss to the nearest DEA office as well as your local police department.
What Can I Do to Help?
For some employees, the mere fact that their supervisor talks to them about their poor work performance is enough to help them change. For others, however, the problem may be more severe and require more drastic measures. The threat of losing a job may have more influence on a drug abuser than a spouse's threat to leave or a friend's decision to end a relationship. Many drug abusers will seek help for their problem if they believe their job is at stake, even though they have ignored such pleas from other people important in their life.
Drug addicts can recover, and effective help is available. Encourage your co-worker or employee to seek drug treatment assistance. Treatment programs range from self-help to formal recovery programs. A number of state licensing boards, employee assistance programs, state diversion programs and peer assistance organizations will refer individuals and their families to appropriate counseling and treatment services. These services will maintain the confidentiality of those seeking assistance to the greatest extent possible.

Email today from the lovely girls who run the Curves where I work out:
Salut les filles,
Comme chaque mois, vous trouverez en PJ le programme des activités du
mois de Février.
Nous vous avons concocté plusieurs activités sympas, en espérant vous
voir nombreuses!!
So I suppose "en PJ" is a reference to the PDF file that was attached with the monthly schedule of special extra classes, etc. It's short for "pièce jointe". (Actual translation: "Hey girls, As with each month, you will find the February monthly program attached. We've concocted many great activities, hoping to see many of you!" You have to LOVE a gym where they invite you to work out and also invite you to have crèpes and cider to celebrate Candlemas or La Chandeleur, which is a holiday for eating -- bien sûr -- crèpes. Only in France would they bring that kind of food into a gym... and not feel the least bit guilty about eating a little of it.)
But reading it at first glance? *I* thought they were inviting us to come and do a workout in our PAJAMAS. Because yes... in French, I AM just that dumb.
Yeah, this sort of thing, right here, is why no French company in their right mind would hire me. In my 8th year in France and still getting about 30-40% of everything WRONG.

The names of Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing are world-famous for the first recorded ascent of Everest on 29 May 1953, but can you name anyone else involved in the expedition? Chances are, unless you have some personal interest, you cannot and it is a sad fact that so often it is only the summit party that makes the news.
The 1953 expedition, which has often been regarded as the last great expedition on earth, was led by Colonel (later to be Brigadier) John Hunt, the son of an Indian Army Captain who was killed in the First World War. Born in India in 1910 the young John Hunt spent much of his childhood, after the death of his father, in the Swiss Alps, where his love of the mountains was born. In 1930 John Hunt was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the King's Royal Rifle Corps (KRRC) and returned to India.
John, a proven sportsman especially for rugby and polo, and with a great taste for adventure, soon found himself on the 'front line' as he was seconded to the Indian Police, often dressed as a civilian working undercover at a time when the Indian independence movement gained momentum. During his time back in India he regularly climbed in the Himalayas and applied to join the 1936 Everest Expedition, but was rejected on medical grounds.
After the outbreak of World War Two John Hunt was back in the United Kingdom as the Chief Instructor for the Commando Mountain & Snow Warfare School at Braemar in Scotland, before returning to his Regiment to command 11th Battalion of the KRRC.
After taking command he immediately deployed to Italy leading them in the Italian Campaign; in 1944 John Hunt received an immediate award of the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) for his leadership in bitter fighting on the Sangro River. The award of the DSO is clear evidence that John Hunt was a hands-on commander, and he could often be found leading patrols deep behind enemy lines and organising raids and ambushes. Also in 1944, his battalion was transferred to Greece during the unrest that resulted in the Greek Civil War, his leadership earned him the rank of temporary brigadier; he later described the task of keeping the peace as – 'the most tense and difficult period in all my experience, before or since'
After World War Two John Hunt took on a number of Army staff posts then in 1952 whilst serving on the staff at Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force, he received the surprise invitation to lead the 1953 British Mount Everest expedition. It was the Himalayan Committee of the Alpine Club and The Royal Geographic Society which governed all British attempts on Everest and jointly decided that John Hunt's outstanding military leadership and massive climbing experience, including time in the Himalayas, would give the best hope for success.
At first, his choice was not popular with many expedition members including Edmund Hillary. But the committees knew it was critical that the expedition was a success, the French had permission to mount an expedition in 1954 and the Swiss in 1955; chances were that Britain would not return until 1956 and Everest would have been conquered by that time.
The 1953 Everest expedition is well documented; they established Base Camp on 12 April and then at 1130 on 29 May 1953, New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay from Nepal reached the summit.
News of the success arrived in London on the morning of 2nd June 1953 the day of Queen Elizabeth's Coronation. Following the successful expedition, the now Sir John Hunt, returned to duties with the Army before retiring in 1956, after leaving the Army he led a number of appointments including the first Director of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and the first Chairman of the Parole Board. Plus advisory work on policing in Northern Ireland at the height of The Troubles, which led to the creation of the Ulster Defence Regiment.
Created a Knight of the Garter in 1979, Lord Hunt died on 8 November 1998 aged 88 in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
So who were the true heroes of the 1953 Everest expedition? No one can doubt the daring of both Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing. But what about the support team that helped them to the summit; the cooks, porters and guides, the doctors and all the base camp staff? And finally, the man who ensured they all worked on one common theme or as the military phase goes 'All singing off the same hymn sheet' – John Hunt; whose focused effort and leadership ensured the success of the expedition.

Cambodia is a developing country supported mainly by three pillars of economic development – agriculture, tourism and textiles. With an average growth of 7.6% from 1994 to 2015, Cambodia is the fastest growing ASEAN economy.
In line with Cambodia's desire to modernise and increase its economic prosperity, there are developments taking place in the country's intellectual property system, which indicate that the government is serious about fostering and promoting innovation and foreign investment.
We highlight below several avenues for securing patent rights in Cambodia.
Protection under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)
On 8 December 2016, Cambodia became bound by the PCT system. This means that any international patent application filed on or after 8 December 2016 automatically includes the designation of Cambodia. International applicants, if they so choose, are able to enter the national phase in Cambodia within 30 months from the earliest priority date. Furthermore, nationals and residents of Cambodia are entitled to file international applications under the PCT from 8 December 2016.
European patents to be recognized in Cambodia
A validation agreement between the European Patent Office (EPO) and the Cambodia Ministry of Industry and Handicraft (MIH) was signed on 23 January 2017, making Cambodia the first Asian country and the 4th non EPC Member State to recognize EPO granted patents. This validation agreement entered into force on 1 March 2018 and applicants are henceforth able to validate European patent applications and patents in Cambodia.
It should be noted that validation into Cambodia is only available for any European or international application filed on or after 1 March 2018.
The fee for Cambodia is EUR 180 and is payable at the time of validation for other EP contracting states. The applicant will also need to provide Khmer and English (if the EP application is not already in English) translations of the granted European patent and pay a publication fee to the MIH.
ASEAN Patent Examination Cooperation (ASPEC)
Launched on 15th June 2009, ASPEC is a regional patent work-sharing programme among the ASEAN Member State IP offices of Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. While the local search and examination fees at local IP offices still apply, search and examination results can be shared among the members to improve the quality of work, and reduce duplicative work for time and cost savings.
The use of the ASPEC system is recommended to applicants who are looking to file in multiple ASEAN jurisdictions and wish to expedite prosecution in these jurisdictions.
Patent Cooperation with Singapore
Patentees or applicants with a Singapore patent or patent application will be able to:
- Re-register the Singapore patent in Cambodia
Under this scheme, the Singapore patent must be in force at the time of the request, have a filing date on or after 22 January 2003 and meet Cambodian requirements for patentability.
- Submit IPOS-issued Search and Examination Report to Cambodia
Applicants may request that IPOS submit to the Cambodian patent office a copy of the final search and Examination Report together with the final specification of the related Singapore patent application. The first ever patent in Cambodia was granted via this system.
Cooperation for Facilitating Patent Grant (CPG) with Japan
Starting from 1st July 2016, patent applications already examined and granted in Japan can be used to accelerate related patent applications in Cambodia under this scheme. Participation of CPG requires that the Japanese patent application has the same priority date or filing date as the Cambodian patent application, the corresponding Japanese patent application has been granted, and all the Cambodian application claims correspond to the claims of the Japanese granted patent.
Exclusions to Patent Protection
It should be noted that inventions relating to pharmaceutical products are generally excluded from patentability in Cambodia. This stems from the fact that Cambodia is under the World Trade Organisation waiver, which allows Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to avoid granting and enforcing IP rights on pharmaceutical products until 2033. As defined in Cambodia's Law of Management of Pharmaceutical, pharmaceutical products are:
"one or many kinds of substances which are primarily from chemicals, bio-products, microbes, plants combined in order to:
– use in the prevention or treatment of human or animal diseases,
- use in the medical or pharmaceutical research or diagnosis,
- change or support the functioning of the organs."
Accordingly, this includes serum and vaccines, blood or blood products, traditional medicines and poisonous substances.
Chemical compositions and new chemical entities for non-medical uses are still patentable.
For further information in relation to the patent filing routes discussed above, please do not hesitate to contact the authors.

Handpicked and processed on the full-moon this is an actual Yue Guang Bai (Moonlight White) from ancient tea trees dating back as old as 400 years old in the high mountains of Yunnan. The locals believe this special tea holds a unique energy and spirit from the phase of the moon. The production method is a closely guarded, mysterious secret spanning hundreds of years; only the local tea masters know it. The tea gets its name comes from its unique shape and color. On one side of the leaf it is white and on the other is a shadowy black, like the moon, as if the moon shines on tea bud.
This tea is only harvested between March to May in very limited quantities when the first buds and tender tea leaves emerge on the ancient tea trees. The cool spring weather gives the slow-growing buds a concentrated flavor and aroma. It is only in the spring season that the climatic conditions are present for the proper withering and curing of Ancient Moonlight White. It is delicately air dried. There are many ideas about what kind of tea a Yue Guang Bai (Moonlight White) is. The Yunnan people regard it as a white tea, but when pressed into cakes a Puer.
2023 Spring
This tea has a rich and lively feel in your mouth with a smooth sweet flavor. The complex floral aroma and sweet finish suggest pit fruits, persimmons and wildflower honey. The color of the brew is first yellow, then changes to red and then again yellow again. It is bright and clear. Only 6 grams of this tea can be brewed 10-12 times. It's a perfect tea can be aged indefinitely if stored in an environment at a stable temperature, dry, no direct sunlight. Over time the value can increase significantly creating a wonderful investment. The flavors will change and health benefits increase exponentially.
Packed with powerful antioxidants, this tea can strengthen the immune system and raise your energy level. It also improves concentration, enhances mood and can be beneficial for depression. It destroys free radicals thus beautifying the skin.*
