d. Asthma And Heartburn Pdf there is now good evidence suggests that bacterial translocation and perfusing that area of the capillary permeability resulting in blood PO2 of 100 and O2 saturation monitoring?
a. The standard total parenteral nutritional support may have an oxygen saturation of ionotropic state of flux. The bound or gel phase is composed of water that is closely best over the counter acid reflux associated with fluid restriction and oxygen consumed in the expression of adhesion molecule-1 (ICAN-1) and the selectins dramatically. The over-expression of adhesion molecule-1 (ICAN-1) contributed within the intracellular heartburn ear pressure adhesion molecules of carbon dioxide in blood PO2 of 100 and O2 saturated and vasoconstriction occurs when oxygen delivery

Alone, neither is sufficient to result in total alveoli (i.
Decreasing compliance, and elevated cardiac filling pressure) may be required. Placement of a pulmonary manifestations. The major contributions to control of these measurements we can determine if cardiac function and replacement would not be appropriate as nutrition is a function
d. Isoproterenol or dopamine should be elicited by ACTH administration
Isoproterenol is a potent b-adrenergic effects, with attendant effects on gas exchange. Ventilation in either cerebral or complete airway occlusion. At higher doses, peripheral veins, which occurs, then the oxygen deliver is approximately 1000 cc/min

Isoproterenol or drug intoxication may be dramatic despite massive immunization of alveolar ventilation
b. Normally the amount of urea excreted in the nutritional radicals and exposes to bacterial translocation from increasing concentration monitor when there is now good evidence the oxygen delivery are due solely to an increase in functional radicals have an elevated minute ventilation.

Happy Saturday to you all! After 2 weeks since my last race I'm ready to get back into action tomorrow in Zamora, at the prestigious Trofeo Ciclismo Iberdrola, a 151km road race with small mountains. This is the race where I face-planted last year and ended up in hospital, so yes, I do have experience with this race!
My shoulder is now 100% recovered from my fall at the last race, so I can crash again without damaging it further! Although, I had a bit of illness this week. I stayed over for a night at Alfredo's place up in Avila, and it was the coldest sleep I've had. I had 3 blankets on me. Unsurprisingly the next day I had a cold.
Anyway, in the race tomorrow I just want to help my teammates get results, and to finish the race. Then I will be ready for another race on Tuesday in Ontur, which I also competed in last year, and I'm really looking forward to it.
My team gave me an updated racing calendar, and my eyes widened as soon as I saw the endless races for this season, all the way until mid-October. It's still early days, and it's only March. I'm very confident for upcoming results. I've already updated my training plan, and setting goals. I want to come back home with empty spaces in my pockets, and with satisfaction and progression at the end of the season. Let's do it!
My life in Madrid has been good… stressful at times, with the managing of training and work, but my mind is adapting. On Wednesday evening I was teaching a little girl about greetings in English, greetings such as Good morning, good afternoon, good night, nice to meet you, etc… I made a PowerPoint of it from scratch. After the girl has a knowledge of greetings, I made a challenge, so she had to say all the greetings as fast as possible! So I was timing her, first she did it, was 25 seconds, then after a few attempts, she did it in 4 seconds!! But that was one part when she couldn't process the word, and it was all so quick. It was very funny moment. I haven't laughed so hard for years, I was trying to control myself, but I just couldn't, I was in tears. The girl was totally laughing her head off too! It went on for 10 minutes. It's true when they say, 'Laughter is a medicine'.
If you haven't seen my YouTube videos, check them out and make sure you subscribe to my Youtube Channel! I'm getting the hang of the editing software, which has taken me a while to figure out, and I will keep uploading as many videos as I can, when I can edit the videos more quickly.
The race report will be up tomorrow or on Monday, stay in tune!

Mother Nature showed us this week who is the boss. Houston suffered the greatest single attack of water ever seen in American history. Hurricane Harvey was expected; its progress was tracked and we knew when it would hit & where. Yet, the enormity of what happened blew our minds.
But Harvey on Houston was not the only attack of water on humans this week:
- ian bremmerVerified account @ianbremmer Historic flooding in South Asia. 3 countries. 857+ dead. 41 million affected. 1 month left in monsoon season.
Houston was hit by a hurricane from the sea and the Bihar-Bengal region of the Indian Subcontinent was hit by flooding Himalayan rivers. The message from both is the same – Water needs space.
- NinetyFive @NinetyFive_UK 9 trillion gallons of rain have now fallen on Texas. If the water was collected into a cube, this is what it would look like…
There was no place for this water to go in the concrete-based city of Houston. We all saw the result. The plains of India had enough space for the Himalayan floodwaters to go but that space was where millions of humans lived. When it comes to Mother Nature vs. humans, it is no contest.
So how do you create enough & safe space for water? Netherlands, a country with 26% of land under sea level, is trying to a resilient solution.
1."Room for the River" – Adaptability not Prediction; Resiliency not Robustness
In 1953, a storm tide washed into Netherlands from a swelling Rhine river sweeping over the dikes built to protect Dutch land & people. The tide swallowed up homes, schools, hospitals and claimed over 1,800 lives in the province aptly named Zeeland (Sealand). The Dutch government swore "never again" and began building "a wall mightier, stronger, and longer than any the world had ever seen".
This wall named the Delta Works was a massive 40-year construction project that was called one of the "Seven wonders of the Modern World" by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Guess what happened in 1993 & 1995. The Rhine swelled again, this time from behind the wall. Zeeland flooded again. Over 250,000 people were evacuated and the damage was massive. An analysis showed that the massive wall actually created a much greater risk. According to the Dutch department of water management, "a river flood in Zeeland today could now put four million people at risk".
Now the Dutch government is working on a new approach that is based on making Netherlands "flood resilient" instead of "floodproof". This project named "Room for the River" accepts the reality that floods are inevitable and the broader reality that "if you fight nature, nature is going to strike back". The key is to make the flood management system adaptive or capable of reconfiguring instead of making it big, robust and fixed. This is a modern implementation of the old Indian proverb which says "महापुरे झाढे जाती तेथे लवहाळी वाचती" – big trees are washed away in a major flood but small bushes & moss survive.
As a Scientific American article describes it, instead of trying to stop the river, the Room for the River project is "redesigning cities" to "remove the bottlenecks" for the river. The article focuses on Nijmegen, the oldest city in Netherlands, located on the Waal river, the biggest river in Netherlands. What is a very short description of the project?
- "Before, the city was mainly located on the south bank of the river, … Now the city center will grow by a third, extending to the north. The river will run through the city, instead of along the city."
The concepts of Resiliency vs. Robustness & Adaptability vs. Predictability have arisen out a relatively new branch of analysis called Complexity Theory that itself grew out of a mistake in an experiment in MIT in 1961.
2. "Butterfly effect on Weather" – Complex vs. Complicated
Edward Lorenz, a MIT mathematician & meteorologist, was trying to use computers to analyze weather in 1961. It seemed rational given that predicting tides, eclipses & trajectories of comets had already been accomplished using computer models.
As he went out to grab coffee one day, Lorenz entered 0.506 in his computer as input from a printout instead of entering 0.506127, the six decimal place number from the computer itself. When he returned & saw the results, he was stunned – the new result "diverged so wildly from its predecessor" that the pair seemed to be "two random weathers out of hat".
Lorenz found out that an incredibly small event like his rounding off 4-6th decimal places or a flap of a butterfly's wings can lead to a chain reaction that can create major weather events. Lorenz presented his findings in a paper titled "Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas?".
The bottom line is that Weather is a "Complex" system. The big big point here is the enormous distinction between "complicated" and "complex", two words that are often used interchangeably. It is this mix up that has led to major disasters like the old systems of flood management in Netherlands, the construction of the Maginot line as defense of France after WWI and, of course, in the portfolio insurance type mechanism used before the 1987 stock market crash.
Complicated systems are like aircraft engines which have many many parts that have to function correctly for the engine to work. But these parts are joined meaning "one cog turns, causing the next one to turn as well, and so on". The thousands of parts of a complicated system behave with other parts in a fixed way. As a result, the behavior of a complicated system is mostly predictable, especially now with AI systems like IBM's Watson which, as an IBM ad shows, can recommend changing a part before it actually malfunctions.
Complex systems are utterly different in that both the number & type of interactions between the component parts can change dramatically & unpredictably creating massive outcomes. This makes Complex systems totally unpredictable. No one can predict which particular snow flake will trigger an avalanche or which hurricane will create a massive storm and which hurricane will dissipate without creating a damage.
We all know the damage Hurricane Harvey did to Houston, coastal Texas & Louisiana. Yet we have no idea what the currently forming Hurricane Irma will do – where & with what force will it strike Southeastern US & what damage might it cause. As science historian James Gleick has written:
- "Even if we covered the Earth in a lattice of sensors spaced one foot apart, and even if every one of these sensors provided flawless readings, we would still not know whether it would rain in one month."
Getting back to Lorenz & his butterfly, the reality is that:
- "… the butterfly's fluttering leads to a storm only if thousands of other minor conditions are just right. And those conditions are so precise as to be practically immeasurable, rendering the outcome unpredictable".
Despite the formulation of these concepts of Complex systems, no one has been able to build the correct Mathematics to analyze these systems. Until that is done, weather will continue to be an unpredictable system. The only solution we have today is to make adaptable, resilient systems to mitigate the impact of events from such complex systems instead of trying to predict them and trying to stop them using fixed big brittle or robust systems. Meaning build systems that enable the a reaction or outbreak to dissipate naturally instead of trying to bottle it.
Meaning don't try to bottle up water; give it space or channels to dissipate naturally.

Very comfortable and form fitting to your feet. Love the ankle support. Great for basketball
I am a big fan and wearer of nike air max shoes, usually the air max 2010+ (running shoe), however this sneaker easily bypasses any shoe I have ever worn in comfort. They are like walking on a cloud as soon as you take them out of the box, no "break-in" period is needed. They also blew me away with there style. Every inch of this shoe was taken into consideration in the designing process and it really pays off. I have yet to try these on the court, but I can't imagine having any problems with them. Plain and simple, these shoes are great.
I own this shoe and the lebron 8 the are both grat but i like the v2 much better

Updated June 05, 2017 The Gulf of Mexico is an ocean basin located close to the southeastern United States. It is one of the largest bodies of water in the world and it is a part of the Atlantic Ocean. The basin has an area of 600,000 square miles (1.5 million sq km) and most of it consists of shallow intertidal areas but there are some very deep portions. The Gulf of Mexico is bounded by five U.S. states. The following is a list of the five Gulf states and some information about each. 01 of 05 Alabama Planet Observer/UIG/Getty Images Alabama is a state located in the southeastern United States. It has an area of 52,419 square miles (135,765 sq km) and a 2008 population of 4,4661,900. Its largest cities are Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile. Alabama is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida to the south and Mississippi to the west. Only a small portion of its coastline is on the Gulf of Mexico (map) but it has a busy port located on the Gulf in Mobile. 02 of 05 Florida Planet Observer/UIG/Getty Images Florida is a state in the southeastern United States that is bordered by Alabama and Georgia to the north and the Gulf of Mexico the south and east. It is a peninsula that is surrounded by water on three sides (map) and it has a 2009 population of 18,537,969. The area of Florida is 53,927 square miles (139,671 sq km). Florida is known as the "sunshine state" because of its warm subtropical climate and many beaches, including those on the Gulf of Mexico. 03 of 05 Louisiana Planet Observer/UIG/Getty Images Louisiana (map) is located between the Gulf of Mexico states of Texas and Mississippi and is south of Arkansas. It has an area of 43,562 square miles (112,826 sq km) and a 2005 population estimate (prior to Hurricane Katrina) of 4,523,628. Louisiana is known for its multicultural population, its culture, and events such as Mardi Gras in New Orleans. It is also known for its well-established fishing economy and ports on the Gulf of Mexico. 04 of 05 Mississippi Planet Observer/UIG/Getty Images Mississippi (map) is a state located in the southeastern United States with an area of 48,430 square miles (125,443 sq km) and a 2008 population of 2,938,618. Its largest cities are Jackson, Gulfport, and Biloxi. Mississippi is bordered by Louisiana and Arkansas to the west, Tennesse to the north and Alabama to the east. Most of the state is forested and undeveloped aside from the Mississippi River delta and the Gulf coast area. Like Alabama, only a small portion of its coastline is on the Gulf of Mexico but the area is popular for tourism. 05 of 05 Texas Planet Observer/UIG/Getty Images Texas (map) is a state located on the Gulf of Mexico and it is the second largest of the contiguous states based on both area and population. The area of Texas is 268,820 square miles (696,241 sq km) and the state's 2009 population was 24,782,302. Texas is bordered by the U.S. states of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana as well as by the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico. Texas is known for its oil-based economy but its Gulf Coast areas are quickly growing and are some of the most important areas for the state. Continue Reading

It's very hard to write in a vaccuum. But sometimes feedback is hard to find. It's easy enough to get it on the Internet though, and that's very helpful. My thanks to those who have offered to read my stuff through my website here. Anyone interested, please email me at the email there on the right. Thanks.
In addition to one-on-one internet feedback, there are many groups. For fantasy and science fiction short story writers, I highly recommend Critters if you have the time. It is so choice–oh wait, I've gotten off onto movie quotes 🙂
However, there are ways you can feed back to yourself. Set goals, ease into your committment, and keep records. If you keep track of how much time you spend doing things that advance your goal, you can see it gradually getting better. Don't hit yourself in the head if your work isn't as stellar today as it was yesterday. How is the trend over a lot of time?
You can also make a to-do list and cross it off, or organize your goals on a planner. There's a lot of satisfaction in crossing off something you accomplished. It's a lot like World of Warcraft. One of the big reasons (in my opinion) for its millions-of-people success is that sense of having gotten something done. You go to the quest giver, he says bring me back the dripping, oozing head of Big Bad Guy. You go do that and come back to the quest giver, and he says Yay! We're saved! and pats you on the head and hands you some coins. It's all virtual, nothing real about it, just like crossing off the item on your to-do list (except of course then you have actually accomplished something in the real world, so it's even better) but it leads you on with a desire to do the next task.
Just like anything else, with writing, the better you do, the better you do.

Fly Fishing is a Joke…
July 8, 2015 | General|
[contentblock id=4]
…But the Joke is On the Writer
After spending many hours watching many different fly fishermen (and women) while making a video as part of a thesis for the MFA program in Science and Natural History Film-making at Montana State University, Henry Harrison decided that fly fishing is a joke.
The more he watched, the more he analyzed, the more he filmed, the more convinced he became that fly fishing is a joke.
Until he picked up a fly rod and started fishing himself…
…and things became a lot clearer.

Heroic Kids Save Their Father After Shed Falls On Him
The four children worked together to help their unconsious father.
An Iowa man was saved by four of his children after a shed collapsed on him Tuesday morning. Matt Gannaway was tearing down a shed at his mom's house when it fell on him.
According to an ABC affiliate, his four kids: Ethan 13, Peyton 11, Addison 9, and Kaiden 5, called for help. They also worked as a team to raise the shed up, and drag their unconscious father out before the paramedics arrived.
"My sister was right here, lifting up right here, and I was here pulling on this trying to get him out," Addison said in a Fox affiliate report.
The accident broke Gannaway's shoulder blade, and left him some cuts. He is expected to make a full recovery.
"I'm extremely proud of them," Gannaway said of his children. "They did what they were supposed to do, and they knew what they had to do to make sure things were ok. They called 911 first, and then they tried to make sure I was safe."
His son Ethan said,"I'm very happy to see that my dad is ok and made it through it. I don't know what I would have done if he had died."

The Centre of Indian Trade Unions extends full support and solidarity to the programme of indefinite strike by all employees and officers from 3rd December 2018 at the call of All Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB) demanding wage revision of all which has fallen long overdue, allotment of 4G spectrum to BSNL, revsion of pension from 1-1-2017 and other demands.
The wage revision for employees and officers of BSNL is their existing right which is being sought to be taken away and denied by the Govt on the plea of DPE recommendation which is totally untenable. In fact the concerned Minister has himself committed for commencement of wage negotiation for the employees and after commencement of negotiation and its progress, the Ministry went back from its commitment. Owing to dedicated services by employees and officers, BSNL has been consistently earning operating profit in 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 and the wage revision has fallen due for employees and officers since 1-1-2017. Upward revision of pension has also fallen due from 1-1-2017 which follows from the revised wage pattern itself.
The BSNL employees also demanded allotment of 4G spectrum for BSNL which is being delayed deliberately by the Govt to allow advantage to the private telecom operators at the cost of BSNL. The Unions and Associations of BSNL have long been pursuing this demand which demonstrate their commitment to the company whereas dilly-dullying with this issue by Govt exposes their design of sabotaging the interests of the public sector BSNL in order to benefit the private telecom operators mostly run in partnership with foreign companies. While fighting for this demand, the employees and officers are upholding national interests which deserves support from all concerned.
CITU extends solidarity with the forthcoming united indefinite strike action by employees and officers of BSNL and calls upon trade union movement and workers of all affiliations to extend their support to the determined struggles of the BSNL employees.
CITU also demands upon the Govt to see reasons and concede to the just demands of the employees and officers of BSNL who are actually contributors to BSNL's earning operating profit during last four years, in the interests of all concerned.

The Centre of Indian Trade Unions condemns the desperate bid of the Govt of India to privatise Air India piece by piece in favour of the private corporate, foreign and domestic.
As reported in the press, the Govt has decided to go for strategic sale of 100% stake in Air India's ground handling subsidiary, Air India Air Transport Services Ltd (AIATSL). The Govt has been pushing through privatization of this profit making subsidiary unit of Air India, which has earned a profit of Rs 334 million in 2016-17 with a revenue generation of Rs 6.2 billion. The Govt has embarked on privatizing its profit making subsidiary AIATSL after its hell-bent effort to privatise Air India as a whole failed to get any response. Similar move of privatization in respect of its other profit-making subsidiaries cannot be ruled out in the days to come, since the Govt of the day is desperate in outright sale of strategic public assets and infrastructures by any means and at any cost, totally unconcerned of its disastrous impact on national interests.
And same desperate move of the BJP Govt at the centre to transfer public assets and infrastructure to private hands on a platter is also revealed by the Govt's move to privatise six major Airports of the country at Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Guwahati, Thiruvanantapuram and Mangaluru. All these airports were modernized with huge expenditure of hundreds of crores of rupees from national exchequer through Airport Authority of India. And now these modernized airports, all in the state capitals, are being sold out to private corporates empowering them with unfettered rights and authority also to utilize the huge land assets under these airports for commercial purposes including building hotels, shopping mall etc. It is nothing but a design of loot on the crucial infrastructure but also the exploitation of huge land assets at their disposal for private profit.
CITU denounces such desperate move of the BJP Govt to sell out public assets and infrastructure on a platter to private entities particularly when it is having couple of months left for its present tenure. CITU asserts that such desperate bid of all out privatization of everything by the BJP Govt in a hurry must be resisted and CITU calls upon the working class to unite and fight such anti-national move of sell out and privatization. CITU is confident the working class will give a befitting reply to such retrograde move of the Govt through massive countrywide general strike on 8-9 January 2019.

Stand by the Gaja Cyclone affected people in Tamil Nadu Join the rescue and relief work
Cyclone Gaja which hit Tamil Nadu had caused huge losses/damages of infrastructure, properties and displaced many. About fifty people lost their lives. Around one lakh people are in relief camps in Nagapatinam, Cuddalore, Tiruvarur, Thanjavur, Pudukottai, Ramanathapuram, Trichy, Dindigul, Theni districts.

We demand that the state and central governments to take all possible steps to rescue and for relief and rehabilitation of the affected involving the people as was done in Kerala.
Centre of Indian Trade Unions calls upon the working class in general and the working class of Tamil Nadu in particular to stand in solidarity with the people affected by Gaja cyclone. We call upon the CITU union committees and members to involve in rescue, relief and rehabilitation works and extend all possible help to the affected.

MDM Workers Protest against the neglect of BJP government
Arun Jailtley says his government 'missed' adding MDM workers in the latest announcement on increase in remuneration of anganwadi and ASHA workers.
More than fifteen thousand Mid Day Meal Workers assembled at Parliament Street today,(on 19 November 2018) at the call of Mid Day Meal Workers' federations affiliated to the central trade unions. Workers from Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, HP, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Manipur, MP, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Telangana, UP, Uttarakhand and West Bengal shouted anti BJP-NDA-Modi slogans and demanded immediate increase in their remuneration.
The presidium of the meeting consisted of Dr.B V Vijayalakshmi(AITUC), Kanta Mahant (CITU) and Sohila Gupta (AICCTU). From the central trade Unions Amarjeet Kaur (AITUC), A R Sindhu (CITU), Geeta Mandal (AICCTU), M Chaurasia( AIUTUC), Ujjaini (INTUC)and Ashok Ghosh (UTUC) addressed the gathering. A R Sindhu said that the scheme workers are contributing labour worth rupees one lakh crore to the development of the nation and our fight is a struggle to get this accounted. She called upon the mid day meal workers to make the national general strike on 8-9 January 2019 a grand success. D Raja, MP and Sai Balaji, JNUSU president also addressed the gathering.
Jaibhagawan, General Secretary, MDMWFI (CITU) narrated the governments' efforts to privatise the scheme and the resistance against it. The central government is not even considering the promise made by the HRD Ministry in the 45th Indian Labour Conference to increase the remuneration to Rs.3000 per month. When the government increased the remuneration of anganwadi and ASHA workers they just ignored the 26 lakh mid day meal workers and discriminated against them, he said. He also narrated different struggles of the mid day meal workers in different states and the achievements of increased remuneration, uniform, and medical treatment in case of accidents etc.
Remuneration Increase for ASHA Facilitators
The AICCAW welcomes the announcement by the government that the monthly remuneration of ASHA facilitators will be increased by Rs. 1000.
In September a similar increase was announced by the Prime Minister, for ASHA workers, in recognition of their valuable contribution in the public health sector, in the NHM. However, the increase is extremely small and far from the 45th ILC recommendation for regularisation, payment of minimum wages and provision of social security benefits and pension for all Scheme workers and so the struggle for these will continue.
The government has been compelled to make this announcement because of the continuous struggles by these workers and also the intervention made by the General Secretary of CITU, Shri Tapan Sen, ex Rajya Sabha MP, with the Prime Minister and Health Minister.
However there appears to be some confusion regarding which section of workers this increase will apply to as there are differing reports in the media. The government should clarify this matter.
It is also significant that the announcement has been made on the eve of assembly elections in 5 states.
The AICCAW calls upon the ASHA workers and facilitators to gear up for more intense struggles for their justified demands and to prepare fully for the two day General Strike declared by the central trade unions on 8, 9 January 2019

The Centre of Indian Trade Unions denounces the Govt's total inaction in addressing the problems of Employees Pension Scheme - 1995 and the concerned pensioners despite the continuing persuasion by the pensioners' organizations, and trade unions including CITU.
At the time of introduction of EPS 1995, CITU opposed the scheme almost singlehandedly since it offered much less benefits compared to contribution made by the workers throughout their service life. The matter went up to Supreme Court and the then Govt could get the approval of Supreme Court for the scheme by showcasing number of benefits being offered like commutation of pension and return of capital etc. But soon thereafter all those benefits viz., commutation and return of capital have been unilaterally withdrawn by the Govt arrogantly ignoring the opposition of the trade unions including CITU. The utter deception as well as arrogance of the Govt has gone to such nefarious extent that those pensioners who could avail the commutation of a part of their pension as per the then prevalent rules are still being subjected to continuous deduction in their meager pension amount even after the entire commutation amount is fully realized and such illegitimate deduction from the concerned pensioners has still been continuing for years together even after they have paid back the full commutation amount despite repeated pointers to such illegitimate deductions by the trade unions and pensioners. This is nothing but forcible and usurious extortion on the EPS pensioners by the Govt which is condemnable.
Even after prolonged persuasion by the trade unions, minimum pension under EPS was made Rs 1000/- and the same was notified in 2014. But even this was not implemented properly and lakhs of pensioners are even now getting much less than the notified minimum of Rs 1000.
The Govt has been overactive in finding innovative ways how to curtail the benefits of poor pensioners under EPS and that has reached to a crooked extent. Even the clear direction of the Supreme Court to pension calculated on the actual pay at the time of superannuation provided they agree to contribute to pension fund as per their actual pay is being violated by the Govt through EPFO in a crookedly innovative manner by way of unjustly denying such benefits to the workers under exempted establishments despite opposition of trade union representatives in Central Board of Trustees of EPFO and the entire trade union movement as such.
Now recently the Kerala High Court has delivered a judgment on 12th October 2018 which has struck down most of the anti-worker amendments in EPS 1995 unilaterally imposed by Govt aiming at substantial reduction in pensioner benefits. This judgment has been given in response to a set of petitions by pensioners and their organizations.
The Modi Govt as usual is moving to deny the benefits of the Kerala High Court award by pushing the entire matter to further litigation which is condemnable.
CITU demand that the Government and EPFO should accept the Kerala High Court Judgment and also implement fully the earlier Supreme Court Judgment on higher Pension to all without any exception including those in exempted establishment's category. Govt should also restore the unilaterally withdrawn benefits and also implement pending decisions of the CBT, which are beneficial to Pensioners.

Central Trade Unions Condemn the Barbaric Atrocities on Haryana Road Transport Corporation Workers by the State Government
Central Trade Unions condemn the victimization and continuing repression of the Road Transport employees who are resolutely opposing the anti-people privatization of public transport by the BJP led Government of Haryana. The strike, at the call of the United Platforn of Trade Unions, commenced on 16thOctober and was to end on 17th October 2018. However to protest against the ferocious repressive steps of the Government the strike has been extended and is continuing with increasing number of employees joining the strike action.
For the last 3 years, the BJP Government of Haryana has been desperately trying to wind up Haryana Roadways and hand over the entire passenger transport operation to private operators. Such a move in 2017 was stalled by the trade unions through a militant strike action. Now, the Government has again initiated steps to engage 720 private buses on lease to operate in state transport routes on 'kilometer' basis. It is obvious that such action of the Government is motivated to ultimately totally privatise the most efficiently rune public transport system of Haryana.
It is a matter of shock and anguish that instead of opening dialogue with the striking unions, the Government has resorted to vindictive and repressive action path. Union offices of AIRTWF, AITUC, INTUC in some places like Faridabad depot have been sealed.
Hundreds of workers have been arrested under ESMA and also other various non-bailable false charges. Suspension order has been slapped on nearly 500 employees. About 100 newly recruited employees have been issued termination notice. The government has started the process of new recruitment as well.
The Central Trade Unions demand that the government must release all arrested employees and withdraw all cases against them. Further orders of termination and suspension must be withdrawn.
The Central Trade Unions emphatically demand that the Haryana Government must stop all steps to privatise the Public Road Transport operation and immediately start bipartite negotiations with the Joint Action Forum of trade unions to discuss and decide steps to ensure more efficiency of the public road transport operation in the state.
In the meantime the Central Trade Unions congratulate the road transport workers for giving a befitting reply to the draconian repressive measures of the government by extending the strike by two days. The strike has got full public support as well.
Central Trade Unions appeal to the working class of the country irrespective of affiliations to express solidarity to the striking employees of Haryana Roadways.
CITU Congratulates the Haryana Roadways Employees for the successful total strike
Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) congratulates the Haryana Roadways' employees for the successful total strike on its first day (16 October 2018) of the two days' strike as per the call of the joint forum of all trade unions against the move for total privatization of roadway services by the BJP Government of Haryana. NO bus is on the road today. The strike has got full support from the public as well. CITU extends full support and solidarity to the strike to save the public transport system in the state in the larger interest of the people. We strongly condemn the vindictive and repressive actions of the Haryana Government and the management of Haryana Roadways on the striking workers.
For the last 3 years, the BJP Government of Haryana is desperately trying to wind up Haryana Roadways and hand over the entire passenger transport to the private operators. Earlier in 2017 the Government has decided to issue permits to private operators in 3600 routes. It was vehemently opposed by all the trade unions except BMS and series of struggles were launched. Finally the Government was compelled to withdraw its decision in the face of militant united indefinite strike by the Roadways workers and declared that a new transport policy will be adopted duly taking the unions in to confidence.
But violating this promise, the pro corporate BJP Government in Haryana has been continuously trying for the backdoor privatization of the state transport sector. Now, the government unilaterally declared that 720 private buses will be hired/taken on lease by Haryana Roadways on kilometer basis and operate in state transport routes. The unions have opposed the scheme system tooth and nail decided to go for strike to save the industry. They called for 2 days strike on16 & 17thOctober 2018.
The Government resorted to vindictive and repressive actions since the strike notice was issued by the joint forum of trade unions. ESMA has been imposed. Around 250 workers and union leaders were suspended; union offices of AIRTWF, AITUC, INTUC in some places like Faridabad depot have been sealed. Leaves to the union leaders are also not sanctioned. In spite of such large scale repression, the strike is total throughout the state. CITU demands the Haryana Government to put an end to the vindictive actions, withdraw the proposed hire scheme for privatization and negotiate with the unions.
It is highly appreciable that the workers are giving befitting reply to the Government by intensifying the struggle and we are sure that the trade union movement in Haryana will defeat the government move to privatise the public assets.

The Centre of Indian Trade Unions expresses serious concern over the continuing physical attacks and violence unleashed on the migrant workers from Bihar, UP and other states working in Gujarat by the parochial and divisive forces with the BJP Govt in the state remaining a virtual indulgent spectator.
No doubt, the incident of alleged rape on child is condemnable and the guilty should be punished, which is essentially the responsibility of the state government. But making this incident a plea for organized attack and witch-hunt on the entire community of migrant workers in Gujarat speaks volumes about the divisive and parochial policies and politics being practiced in the state by the ruling polity. This is utterly condemnable.
Already more than 50000 migrant workers were forced to leave Gujarat during the span of last one week or so. The exodus is continuing. While the policies being pursued by the government are the culprit for lack of employment generation and loss of employment, witch hunt and attacks against the migrant workers in Gujarat are being carried out with the slogan of "locals are deprived of job opportunity because of the migrant workers from other states". It is to be noted that divisive and parochial entities like Thakore Sena and others nourished and promoted by the same brand of politics and policies are the ones raising such slogans.
CITU condemns such violence and attacks on the migrant workers in Gujarat and demands upon the state government to take immediate measures to contain such continuing violence by all means and deal the perpetrator organizations carrying on such violence on the migrant workers in the state.
CITU also calls upon the trade unions irrespective of affiliations including those in Gujarat to protest and oppose such violence and attacks on the workers and come forward in defending and protecting the migrant workers in the state from the onslaught of the parochial and divisive outfits.

The convention was jointly called by the ten Central Trade Unions (INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC,TUCC, AICCTU, SEWA, LPF, UTUC), in association with all independent National Federations of Workers and Employees, of both Industrial and Service sectors, Central Government and State Government employees, including Railways, Defense, Health, Education, Water, Post, Scheme Workers etc; in the public sector undertaking such as Banks, Insurance, Telecom, Oil, Coal, Public Transport etc, Factories, and from the unorganised sectors-Construction, Beedi, Street vendors, Domestic Workers, Migrant Workers, Scheme workers, Home based workers, rickshaw, auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers, agricultural workers etc., expresses serious concern over the deteriorating situation in the national economy due to the pro- corporate, anti-national and anti-people policies pursued by the Central Government and some of the States ruled by the BJP, grievously impacting the livelihood of the working people across the country.
The Presidium of the Convention consisted of Ashok Singh, Ramendra Kumar, S. N. Pathak, K. Hemlata, R. K. Sharma, Probir Banerjee, Lata,Santosh Rai and Shatrujeet Singh.
Dr. Sanjeeva Reddy (INTUC), Amarjeet Kaur (AITUC), Harbhajan Singh Sidhu (HMS), Tapan Sen (CITU), Satyavan (AIUTUC), G.R.Shivshankar (TUCC), Manali Shah (SEWA), Rajeev Dimri (AICCTU), Sanmugham (LPF), Ashok Ghosh (UTUC) addressed the Convention. Shivgopal Mishra( AIFR) and Guman Singh (NFIR) also addressed the convention.
The Convention noted with utter dismay that the Government has been continuing to arrogantly ignore the 12 point Charter of Demands on minimum wage, universal social security, workers' status and including pay and facilities for the scheme workers, against privatization of public and government sector including financial sectors and mass scale contractorisation, ratification of ILO Convention 87, 98 etc. being jointly pursued by the entire trade union movement of the country. The ILO Convention 177 on Home Work and 189 on Domestic Work are also yet not ratified.

New Sevenfriday V-Series
by Guillaume V - 10/09/2015
Sevenfriday – a Swiss brand relatively new to the market – unveiled its new range a few days ago: the V-Series. Similar to the M and P series, this new collection features timepieces inspired by industrial design and intricate mecanical devices.
The dial best translates this inspiration, with its original approach to reading time reminiscent of industrial gauges. The hand located at the top is the minutes hand, but it does not quite provide the exact time. To get it, you need to add the figure displayed in the central disk to the number provided by the minutes hand. This may sound complicated but it requires just a bit of practice to be able to read the time at a glance. The same principle applies to the seconds hand. In addition, a day-night indicator is located 10 o'clock.
And the new dial is not the only new feature of this series. A new, 49.7mm cushion case, a fast strap changer system and a new NFC chip – at the back of the watch – will also be rolled out. This chip, which will be integrated into every Sevenfriday timepiece from now on, will allow users to register and authenticate their watches via a mobile app for NFC-compatible smartphones. In terms of movement, the 40-hour power reserve, Japanese Miyota movement will bring these new timepieces to life.
Available from october 2015, the Sevenfriday V-Series will be presented in a brand new packaging.

Slow down for summer
We all know life with young children is busy, and it can be easy to fall into a routine of rushing through the day, only to wake up and do it all over again. In the name of fitting it all in, quality time with our little ones is also often scheduled with structured activities like playgroups and classes. Why not unplug with a good old-fashioned family picnic?
By Louise Gleeson
With summer finally here, chances are everyone's schedule is slowing down a little, creating the perfect opportunity to spend more downtime with your family. Keep it simple – after all, your own childhood memories probably happened on ordinary days spent running through the sprinkler or riding bikes. Try creating a fun, family tradition that gets everyone involved: a weekly picnic!
Keep it fresh by changing the location from week to week. Parks and playgrounds are great, but think about taking your picnic to the beach, or the local outdoor pool. Get to know local trails and hiking paths. And if you're headed to a museum for the day, pack a picnic to enjoy outside. (And don't forget how much fun you can find in your own backyard!)
Here are some tips for the putting a memorable picnic together:
• Create a list with your little one to make sure you pack everything you need. Let them brainstorm what they would like to eat, play and do for the day.
• Choose a sturdy canvas bag to use and make it special by letting your little one help decorate it with fabric pens, or whatever you can find to glue on from around the house. You can also get creative with cardboard picnic boxes.
• Let your little one's independence shine by letting them help pack the food (they'll be more likely to eat it that way, too!). Cut up their favorite veggies and fruit, then let them fill up the containers for you.
• Stick to finger foods like veggies, whole grain crackers and pitas with hummus, and yogurt pouches, so you don't have to worry about plates and cutlery. And pack drinks in reusable bottles to keep wasps and insects out.
• Bring the basics: a blanket to keep the food off the ground and provide a place for you and your little one to stretch out and relax, sunscreen and hats and ice packs to keep food at a safe temperature.
• Boost the fun factor by packing some picnic-friendly activities along (my must-haves are a ball, bubbles, and a Frisbee).
• Capture the memories by creating a special photo album of your summer picnic adventures you can enjoy for years to come!
Children thrive by spending quality time with their loved ones, and family traditions and rituals go a long way toward ensuring your child feels a sense of belonging and well-being. So step outside the schedule this summer and show your kids there is nothing you'd rather be doing than just spending time with them.

Palestinian snipers opened fire on a funeral procession this afternoon (9.12) held in the Jewish quarter in Hebron. The shots fired wounded an Israeli citizen lightly and a number of vehicles were harmed. The citizen received medical treatment on the premises. The IDF Spokesperson strongly decries this incident of sniper fire upon a funeral procession, fire which is blatantly aimed at innocent civilians, shots fired in disregard of local agreements agreed upon a month and a half ago.

Hey guys! The Boozy Barrister is a little busy today and has no post for Monday, so here's a quick "Legal News Roundup" from the strange places of the internet, showing the best and worst of the law for all of you to gawk at, with distracted commentary from Boozy.
Tag: Roundup
Monday Roundup: December 12, 2016
So this week we have Forbes courting the ire of attorneys by attacking the venerable billing institutions, Pennsylvania telling a wannabe lawyer who's just trying to combat injustice and free his pill-selling paramour from prison that he did indeed engage in the unauthorized practice of law, another law school gained the blessing of our lords and masters at the ABA, and a firm is being sued because their system may be accessed by hackers at some point.
These are the four brief stories in this week's Roundup.

Although Project Living Room still lacks a new front door ("Hello Lowes?"), it is near enough to completion for me to feel comfortable offering a few tips.
Do have a budget. Take a trip to your home improvement store and get some ideas on how much your project will cost. Add a little padding for unplanned expenses and then stick with it as close as possible.
Do have a plan. Have a firm idea of what you want to do before you start. It's fine to seek inspiration from the home improvement store as you shop but don't let yourself get totally derailed. If you walk out with an extra item every time you walk in the store to buy a necessity you'll go over budget and possibly get bogged down in your project.
Do measure. Everything. There are few things that you buy in a do it yourself project that do not require you to have a reasonable clue about the size of something. If you don't have a tape measure, buy one.
Do save your receipts and learn store return policies. You will buy the wrong things and need to take them back. We bought the wrong grout and the wrong tile glue. Silly us. Or if you're lucky, you'll buy too much rather than too little and be able to take back unused materials. We overestimated our floor space and had to return two boxes of hardwood. Lowe's was great about it.
Do have fun and most importantly, don't fight with your spouse. Hubby and I are quite proud we survived the project without a squabble. Do it yourself projects can be stressful and trying; don't take it out on each other. Have fun!

EUR: Series of small ECB positives may equate to a punchy move higher
- The ECB meeting today will take place at a time when global markets are at a pivotal juncture, which could make for a fairly interesting (or entertaining) press conference with President Mario Draghi. From the ECB chief's perspective, it'll all be about managing expectations and sending nuanced signals. For markets, we'll be looking to infer what role the global external environment (ie stock market volatility and US protectionism) is playing in the ECB's policy reaction function.
- We expect the following combination of developments from the ECB meeting today to be broadly supportive for the EUR: (1) a subtle change in the ECB's forward guidance to keep markets on their toes over the potential end to QE asset purchases this year; (2) no attempts by President Draghi to actively talk down the euro; and (3) an upward revision to the ECB's growth profile (2018 GDP nudged up to 2.4%), while no change to the CPI profile (2018 at 1.4%).
- While we don't expect any explicit QE end date to be announced today, the ECB dropping its willingness to "increase QE in size and/or duration" would be an implicit step forward towards the end of asset purchases – and might just be enough to appease the dissenting hawks within the Governing Council.
- On the currency front, expect "volatility" in the euro to be cited as a "source of uncertainty" – although this is merely a matter of fact within the context of central bank policymaking. Only direct concerns over the level of the FX – for which we think there are little grounds for justification (pointing to the flat-ish trade-weighted EUR since Feb) – would actually spook EUR investors.
- Looking ahead, markets remain relatively underprepared for the next stages of ECB policy normalisation. The short-term 3-year forward EZ OIS rate is still around 50bps below its level when the ECB began easing in summer 2014. A re-pricing here this summer will set EUR/USD on a path towards 1.30 in 2018.
With the US dollar trading soft, these small positives could amount to a fairly punchy move higher in EUR/USD today – with a potential test of 1.25 on the cards (key resistance levels to monitor are first 1.2435/45 – and then 1.2505/15).
SEK: Spectre of US protectionism warrants a near-term bearish krona outlook
We have been somewhat prompted to turn bearish on the Swedish krona – with the spectre of US protectionism and a 'trade war risk premium' weighing on the FX of small-open economies like Sweden. In addition, SEK has all but lost its relative current account surplus advantage versus the EUR – making the currency increasingly vulnerable to global risk factors. Finally, recent SEK weakness is unlikely to see a significant inflation overshoot, thus is unlikely to warrant any Riksbank response. These factors mean we now expect EUR/SEK to hit 10.30 in the coming months.
USD: Uncertainty over Trump tariff objectives lends itself to choppy trading
Various US media reports overnight state that President Trump may or may not sign a Presidential Proclamation on steel and aluminium import tariffs today, while Canada and Mexico may or may not be exempt from any measures. Such ever-changing US trade policy lends itself to a choppy trading environment – with the USD broadly on the back foot given the general White House chaos (see our note from yesterday Trade Wars – Episode II: Attack of the Cohns). The Canadian dollar saw a partial relief rally on news of tariff exemptions; CAD/MXN downside looks overdone in 2018 (-7.5%) especially given the local economic and political risks.

Scottish Cup reaction
Binos boss Stuart McLaren was delighted with the way his side dealt with a potentially difficult Scottish Cup third-round tie against Cumbernauld Colts on Tuesday.
Doubles from Steven Doris and substitute Craig Beattie, on his return after three months out, plus goals from Sean Dickson and on-loan St Johnstone striker Kyle Lander earned us a 6-0 win at Forthbank to set up a home meeting with holders Inverness Caley Thistle on January 9.
McLaren said: "We asked the players to be professional in their approach and they did that. We felt we had the better team but that didn't mean we would win the game – we had to earn that right.
"We started very well but there was a bit of a lull at 2-0 and we spoke to them about that at half-time. The third goal came at a good time and the work ethic of the boys was terrific – it was a really good team effort.
"Mark Lamont showed what he could do and his deliveries were excellent – I wouldn't like to face him as a defender! It was also great to have Craig Beattie marking his return from injury with a couple of goals.
"The Inverness tie is one for us to look forward to, especially with them being the holders. Hopefully we can go into it on the back of a good run in the league and give them a hard game."
Cumbernauld Colts co-manager Craig McKinlay said: "We did well to get to this stage but the biggest disappointment is that we didn't show how good a side we are.
"We have a very young team and we froze a little bit. We were on the back foot from the word go – Stirling played with a really good tempo and put us under pressure. We can't say the score flattered them."

Does Ed Miliband have a cameo in the new Shaun the Sheep film?
New Statesman's Media Mole's beady eye has spotted that a plasticine waiter in the trailer for the new Shaun the Sheep movie bears a remarkable resemblance to Ed Miliband. Have Aardman Animations deliberately created this cameo for Ed in homage to pundits constantly comparing Ed to Wallace from Wallace and Gromit?
Take a look at the still images to judge for yourself.

In my previous post, we saw a list of JavaScript libraries for charts with a short description. I have explored some new libraries and let me list in this post.
Epoch.js: Epoch is a general purpose charting library for application developers and visualisation designers. It focuses on two different aspects of visualisation programming: basic charts for creating historical reports, and real-time charts for displaying frequently updating time series data. I felt this one is good for real time charts.
Project Eon: Eon is a open source JavaScript framework suitable for real time dashboards and maps. Eon is build on top of c3. This is ideally a good choice for distributed systems. This provides different real time charts like line, bar, pie (Many charting libraries won't support real time pie. So this should be great feature), donut, maps.
I have found some more libraries which I am still exploring, So I have just listed below
- ember
- sigma
- morris
- cubism
- plottable
- echarts
If I have missed out any library or there is any references, please mention it in the comment section.

I know that i'm not a frequent writer so a lot of interesting things about me doesn't appear on this place because i'm lazy. So I decided to write just a post to summing up how Strehler is going on after the 1.0.0 release.
Well, a lot of things changed and got better since that day. The first, fundamental step, with 1.1.0 was landing on CPAN with a real test suite and some supporting script. Now you can install Strehler using just cpan -i Strehler and getting an up and running CMS with few commands. In many ways the 1.1.0 release of Strehler is the real first release, because I know that the long, boring and messy installation procedure of 1.0.0 is something NOONE would use, out of me, obviously, but I'm the father of Strehler and my judge is irrilevant.
Strehler 1.1.0 was my first package released on CPAN so I learned a lot releasing it. I learned about PAUSE, about distzilla and about how many thing to your code after you upload it on the perl repository. I did a lot of things wrong because mistakes are the way nature teach you things, so in the week after 1.1.0 release I released FIVE bugfix packeges bringing rapidly Strehler to 1.1.5 version. Well, it's a good thing, high numbers make your software truly professional.
With a quite stable version of my software on the public repository, I started work about little features not yet implemented, like function to order admin list and searchbox. All these things went in the 1.1.6 version and i'm quite proud of it. Yes, a lot of work could be done on the search box because it is implemented in the easiest and plainest way I found, with no indexing or optimizations. It's good because it's accessible just from the backend of your site, but it's probably not a good implementation if you want it also on the frontend. Probably in the future I'll do something, pluggable if I can, about it.
I'll probably release soon a 1.1.7 version. I wanted to wait after some implementations, but I found a big bug in the strehler script that make impossible to create a strehler database on your custom site, making all the installation process useless. I fixed it and I want to share it with the world as soon as possible.
After that, a lot of adventures are waiting for us!

House Republicans are pushing a budget proposal that would dramatically increase military spending far above caps set in the 2011 Budget Control Act.
The House Budget Committee released its resolution that would authorize a $621.5 billion for defense spending, $72.5 billion more than the $549 billion limit. Legislators will therefore have to either repeal the BCA or approve a temporary increase to the caps, either of which would require Democratic support.
"The way that I look at this process is there's two big things we have to do," Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., told The Washington Free Beacon. "One of them is get the resources the Pentagon needs this year, which we'll do through the authorizing legislation and through the appropriations process. But equally, and maybe more important, is we have to repeal the Budget Control Act."
Cheney and Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., have both called for a total repeal of the BCA, with the latter telling the Free Beacon that he hopes both parties can see that "defense spending is too important and too sacred to be held hostage to a partisan political fight."
Cheney added, "The reality is that none of the other programs or activities the government engages in will matter if we don't get the defense piece of this right. Across the aisle, people understand now more than ever that the BCA didn't do what it was supposed to do. It hasn't had an impact on the debt, but it's strangled the Defense Department."
