We are awash in numbers, thanks in large part to the proliferation of personal mobile devices and the wrong-headed use of so-called big data.1 But applying statistical tools to the same set of data can support competing theories and lead to contradictory results. Such conflicting outcomes, known as antinomies if you remember Philosophy 101, cannot logically co-exist, and the field of statistics gets a bad reputation as a result. But big data can provide substantial value for people as individual patients. The key is to set some ground rules and understand the limitations of statistical investigation.
First and foremost, it's important to gain some clarity regarding the concept of false positives in regards to health. This statistical construct is familiar to all of us, although we may not be aware of it. If one of your doctors sends you for a laboratory test and the results are "positive", you'll be sent for follow-up tests until a final determination is made. If the final test turns out "negative", then the earlier results represented a false positive. The test results said you had the condition or disease, but in fact you did not.
False positives create numerous serious problems, not the least of which is the emotional toll of stress, anxiety, and fear experienced by the patient and her family and close friends. This is especially true when the suspected disease is a malignancy or other serious, life-threatening condition. It's useful and empowering for people to learn that 5% of all test results are falsely positive right from the start. Medical tests are designed this way. The 5% false positive rate is a necessary part of statistical analysis. It's built-in to the statistical design. In other words, test values that represent "normal" are obtained by cutting off the bottom 2.5% and the top 2.5% of a large sample of results from people who are "normal" for the thing being tested, such as white blood cell count or hemoglobin level.
Thus, 5% of normal people automatically have false positive results. Another way of stating this outcome is to consider that if you undergo a panel of 20 blood tests, one result (5% of 20) will be positive no matter what.
The vast majority of patients are not familiar with the statistical concept of false positive results.2 With a basic understanding of this construct and its implications, patients could ask their doctors meaningful questions such as, "What do the test results mean?", "Have you considered the possibility of a false positive result?", and "How will the additional tests you're recommending affect decision-making in my case?"
Posing such questions is tremendously empowering for you, the patient, and helps reestablish equity in the doctor-patient relationship.3 As a health care consumer, a little knowledge goes a long way. Gaining more than a little knowledge by reading articles on diagnostic methods and health care decision-making will further strengthen your own process as a patient.

Giddy. That's what I am. Or maybe just plain loca because my annual Back-to-School Fiesta! week this year has turned into a MONTH of giveaways. Now you probably have noticed that I've been doing less and less giveaways lately. Mainly because there's so much time and work that goes into them and I've been stretched thin. But this is the one time of year when I know MommyMaestra readers deserve the chance to win some awesome educational items to help boost their children's education.
SO for the next FOUR weeks, I'll be having a different giveaway every day during the week. I really hope you'll enter to win each and every one (oh, okay, at least those that your child could really benefit from), or the companies may not give me the opportunity to offer other great giveaways again here on the site. (You know how it goes.)
So we're starting off with an awesome Spanish curriculum!
One MommyMaestra reader will win a Level 1 Curriculum from Sonrisas.
This is an amazing 2-year program for kids in Pre-K through 5th grade. There is a heavy emphasis on culture and a strong literature component to it. You can read my full review here and decide if this sounds like the right curriculum for your children/students.
The Level 1 Curriculum comes with one Teacher's Guide and two CDs; one with Spanish songs, poems and chants for children to accompany the lessons, and the other with cultural songs. It has a retail value of $189.00.
Enter to win below using the Rafflecopter.

We are proud to be a member of the American Optometric Association and to be enrolled as InfantSEE® providers. This is a one-time service which offers early detection of potential eye and vision problems at no cost regardless of income or ability to pay.
InfantSEE® is a public health program, to ensure that optometric eye and vision care becomes an integral part of infant wellness care to improve a child's quality of life.
The Program's Mandate
- Identify and treat risk factors that may have adverse effects on eye and vision health.
- Reduce the impact of amblyopia (presently 1 in 30) and other conditions that may lead to impairments and/or loss of sight, or affect a child's spatial and cognitive development, through early identification.
- Educate parents about the importance of eye care for their children.
- Visual Acuity
- Refractive Status
- Eye Movement
- Eye Alignment/Binocular Potential
- Eye Health
In an effort to encourage infant eye and vision assessments and ensure they are accessible to everyone, the American Optometric Association (AOA), and The Vision Care Institute of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., and Optometry's Charity™ – The AOA Foundation, partnered to create InfantSEE®, a no-cost public health program developed to provide professional eye care for infants nationwide.
Through InfantSEE®, our optometrists serve Gloucester Township & Blackwood, NJ provide a one-time, comprehensive eye and vision assessment to babies in their first year of life, usually between the ages of 6 and 12 months, offering early detection of potential eye and vision problems at no cost regardless of income or ability to pay.
The Program's Goals
Though babies can't talk, optometrists use their clinical education, training and experience, along with instruments such as lighted toys to provide non-invasive eye and vision assessments for infants.
According to new data collected by the American Optometric Association (AOA) there is a growing need for early vision examination in infants. The data showed that two groups at greater risk for visual concerns were premature babies and minority babies.
Parents may learn more about the importance of infant vision care and the InfantSEE® program by logging on to www.infantsee.org. Please call our office to schedule your baby's InfantSEE® assessment.
Stages of Vision Development
Most parents believe that vision is something that just develops naturally, and therefore does not need to be checked until school-age when it has already fully developed. The truth is that vision is learned – and the most critical stages of vision development occur in the first year of life.

Have you heard? Erie Insurance partnered with Danny Lipford and the Today's Homeowner crew to spread the word about our valuable independent insurance agents and ERIE's signature Guaranteed Replacement Cost coverage.
Who is Danny Lipford?
Danny Lipford is known as America's Home Improvement Expert. As host of the Emmy-nominated, nationally syndicated Today's Homeowner television and radio program, podcast and the destination website TodaysHomeowner.com, Lipford delivers fresh, practical and trusted advice for maintaining and improving homes.
Like Erie Insurance, Lipford understands the value of protecting your home and assets—which is where ERIE's Guaranteed Replacement Cost (GRC) coverage comes into play.
"Over the years, I've seen many people not have the right homeowners coverage and, unfortunately, have to pay out of pocket when they have a total loss," Lipford says. "With Guaranteed Replacement Cost coverage, you don't have to worry. Your house will be replaced just as it was before the loss.1 That's why it's important to make sure you talk to your agent about your own individual insurance needs."
GRC will pay the full cost of rebuilding your house back to its previous size and specifications. With the high price of building materials and labor, it's easy to see why GRC from ERIE is the gold standard for homeowners insurance. And great news—it's included in the ErieSecure Home® base policy.
Spreading the Word
We couldn't team up with such a home expert and not spread the word to our customers.
Two videos were produced in partnership with Danny and the Today's Homeowner crew—one from our home office in Erie, Pa., and a second featuring Chelsea Lipford Wolf (Danny's daughter who is also active with the show) from her home in Mississippi.
"After meeting with Danny's team and learning more about their brand and audience, it was a no brainer for us," says Raychel Adiutori, senior marketing communications specialist at Erie Insurance. "We knew this partnership would be a good fit."
Choosing a location for Danny was incredibly important, which is why we decided to give the team a peek behind the curtain, letting them film in our state-of-the-art Technical Learning Center.
As part of the campaign, ERIE created a homeowners content hub on this website.
You'll find more than just the videos on our content hub. There's also links to download helpful home checklists, related blog stories and even a quiz to test your knowledge on your home inventory (and the importance of having one).
Protect Your Home
Your house is more than walls, wood and wires. It's where you've made memories and celebrated important milestones. There's no time like the present to review your home coverage so you can ensure you have the right protection—especially with the rising cost of building materials like lumber. Talk to us today and ask about Guaranteed Replacement Cost.
1Guaranteed Replacement Cost applies to dwelling and requires home improvements over $5,000 to be reported within 90 days – not available with all policies and in all states. Coverage of costs to comply with laws or ordinances is subject to limits. Depreciation will be deducted until repair or replacement is made. Contact us today for more information.
A better insurance experience starts with ERIE.
Haven't heard of us? Erie Insurance started with humble beginnings in 1925 with a mission to emphasize customer service above all else. Though we've grown to reach the Fortune 500 list, we still haven't lost the human touch.
Contact Reiswitz Insurance Agency today to experience the ERIE difference for yourself.

Downloading Fedora
Fedora provides three primary Editions tailored for some specific use cases. https://getfedora.org offers Fedora Cloud for scalable infrastructure, Fedora Server for organizational infrastructure, and Fedora Workstation for the developer and desktop user.
For alternative desktop environments or media built for more niche purposes, check out Fedora Spins.
Each of these downloads provides a different set of default packages, but you can add to your system after the initial installation to customize it for your needs. The installation process is the same for all spins and Editions, so you can use this guide for any choice you make.
Most modern systems are 64 bit x86 architecture. If your computer was manufactured after 2007, or you aren't sure, you probably have a x86_64
Changing a Fedora installation from one architecture to another is not supported. Use the following table to determine the architecture of your computer according to the type of processor. Consult your manufacturer's documentation for details on your processor, or resources such as https://ark.intel.com/ or https://products.amd.com/, if necessary.
Processor manufacturer and model | Architecture type for Fedora |
some Intel Atom, Core series, Pentium 4, and recent vintage Xeon; AMD Athlon, Duron, some Semprons; and older; VIA C3, C7 |
some Intel Atom, Core 2 series, Core i series and Xeon; AMD: Athlon 64, Athlon II, Sempron64, Phenom series, Fusion series, Bulldozer series and Opteron; Apple MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air |
Several media types are available. Choose the one that best suits your requirements.
- Live Image
Live images allow you to preview Fedora before installing it. Instead of booting directly into the installer, a live image loads the same environment you'll get after installation. Fedora Workstation and Fedora Spins are live images.
Use a live image to install your favorite system, test Fedora on new hardware, troubleshoot, or share with friends.
- DVD Image
DVD images boot directly into the installation enviroment, and allow you to choose from a variety of packages that are provided with it. In Fedora 21, the DVD option is only available in the Fedora Server Edition.
Use the Fedora Server DVD image when you want customized Fedora Server installations using an offline installation source.
- netinstall Image
The netinstall image boots directly into the installation environment, and uses the online Fedora package repositories as the installation source. With a netinstall image, you can select a wide variety of packages to create a customized installation of Fedora.
The Fedora Server netinstall image is a universal one, and can be used to install any Fedora Edition or your own set of favorite packages.
- ARM images
For many ARM systems, Fedora provides preconfigured filesystem images. Write the image to removable media and boot directly into a Fedora installation that's ready to use.
ARM devices often require special setup procedures that aren't covered in this guide. Start learning about Fedora ARM at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM
- Cloud Images
Fedora Cloud images are preconfigured filesystem images with very few packages installed by default. They include special tools for interacting with cloud platforms, and are not intended to be used outside of cloud environments.
Fedora Cloud comes in several varieties. The Fedora Cloud Base image is a minimal base for cloud deployments. The Fedora Cloud Atomic image is a Docker container host that uses Project Atomic technology for updates. A Docker base image for Fedora is also available.
Cloud images are preconfigured and do not require installation as described in this guide. Get started using Fedora Cloud at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud
- Boot Images
The tiny images at https://boot.fedoraproject.org/ are written to CDs, USB drives, or even floppy disks. The BFO image loads installation media from Fedora's servers and directly loads an installation environment, like the netinstall ISO.
BFO images work like PXE deployments, without having to set up a server.

Every kind of company must deliver a tax-return to HMRC that determines just how much tax should be contributed based upon income. When you do not submit your tax return or even if you deliver it overdue you would acquire a penalty fee and have to contribute interest on the pre-existing tax. That is certainly why it is so important to deal with this as soon as possible to make certain all things are finished by the due date.

We have received multitudes of testimonies from people that have repented
and have asked Jesus Christ to be their Lord and
Savior as a result of this site. These have surely been a blessing to us. We
give God the glory. Here are some of them.
I returned from work after a bad day, being disillusioned with God and my life in general. I turned on my computer and typed in a URL Your site came up. It was as if Jesus wanted me to see it. I read through the first page and at once knew what I had to do. I got down on my knees, repented (of) my sins and asked Jesus into my life. I know this is the start of a difficult path with many temptations ahead but with Jesus at my side I am determined to succeed. Thank you for putting together this site. UK
I walked with the Lord in a way that I knew was not pleasing to Him, and still went on doing it. I stumbled on this website while looking for something else. I am so grateful. I feel something in my heart that I never really felt before. I prayed the prayer in our toilet here at work and believe Jesus has forgiven me of my sins. Thank you for this site and I know I will be visiting it often. God bless. South Africa
(I want) to express my profound gratitude to God and to you for putting up this brilliant and inspiring site. The site has changed my life of recent when I started going through the Bible studies section and listening to the audio reading of the Bible. I am now saved by God's grace. Nigeria
I wanted to tell you that thanks to this site my eyes were opened. As a matter of fact I hold Bibledesk responsible for having showed me the truth. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Miami, FL, USA
I just prayed your prayer on the website. I have prayed this prayer Duluth, Minnesota, USA
Thank you for building such a wonderful site. I ask God to forgive me of all my sins and I want to be ready when Jesus comes. Columbia, SC, USA
I did repent and kneeled and said the prayer and believed with all my heart. Truthfully, this is the first time I have kneeled and said a prayer. Texas, USA
I have just re-dedicated my life over 2 God. I would really like to become a better Christian. Ireland
I recognize that I must have a continued relationship with God I said the prayer that was asked of me. Thank you for your website. USA
I have become lukewarm in my beliefs. I prayed and repented. Arizona, USA
I found your site by just typing (it) in. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. I want to thank you and say God bless you and your website. You have opened my eyes. Georgia, USA
I have taken the decision to follow Jesus. I write to give you my postal address for the free Christian literature you promised giving. Nigeria
Your website, it appeared out of nowhere. I read the prayer and received Jesus. Thank you for sharing your Bible knowledge with others. Washington, USA
I was saved (mainly) by this site! Yes, it's true! All grace to God! I was just an ordinary 19-year old Swedish guy. Yes, I believed in God, but I knew nothing or little about the Bible, even Jesus Christ Himself. I was following my own life and interests. I had no wish of becoming a Christian, and I didn't believe why I should. I had a life-goal, which I was about to fulfill. I did not need Christ, I thought. Then I found this site. For years, God (the Father) had prepared me for this occasion.... I was astonished by the sites claim that the prophecies proved the Bible was true....So I believed. The Bible is beyond any doubt the proven Word of God. Actually, I was shocked. I began to tremble, because I understood I was a sinner, and if I died tomorrow, I would surely end up in hell in burning fire. The Holy Spirit convicted my heart that I was a sinner, and I fell down to the floor asking God, "Have mercy on me a sinner." I did not simply believe, but I knew! There was indeed a heaven and a hell, and I had to make a choice. I chose life over death that night. I made the wise decision. THEN I WAS BORN-AGAIN! SAVED! HALLELUJAH!! This site DOES work because, God Himself has given His approval by using it to save me! God used THIS site out of all other sites on the Internet! Can you believe that?
(Many hundreds of people have linked to this site, for which we are extremely
and thank God. We have included parts of a few of the link letters we have received.)
I just wanted to say that your site has the most information I have ever seen. I also added your link to our website.
I have added your site (AmazingBible.org) to my Christian resource page.
After viewing a cross section of this site, I feel very comfortable (linking) this site. I have looked at the salvation areas, prophecy areas, views on the relevance of Israel, cults, as well as several other topics. I have found your site to be Biblically based and presented well.
My wife and I have viewed your website and we were thoroughly impressed! It was completely lacking in any kind of sales pitch and was overflowing with some of the purest, sound, Bible doctrine we have come across. We will be glad to include a link to your website God bless you in this work May He grant you many souls to come to know the truth of the Scriptures through this incredible site. Florida
Just went through your site (kind of fast) and loved it and everything I read sounded anointed by the Holy Spirit. Therefore was led to go ahead and add it to my site.
This site will be a tremendous blessing to our viewers. Thank you.
I am a pastor of a small church in North Carolina. Thanks for all your efforts to provide such an informative and Word-oriented site. We would be honored if you would add a link to our site from yours. Of course, we would be glad to reciprocate.
I visited (your site) and found that it would be a perfect link for my site. There were so many helpful resources and growth materials centered on God's Word which is precisely the types of links I was looking for. Thank you and God bless.
It will be a pleasure to add your link to our site. I am always looking for good resources to put on our website that encourage growth our church.
You have been linked to our website. I have been a fan of your site for quite awhile. (Gospel radio)

Do you want to sell your house for cash? Do you want to sell your house right now – this winter? Great news: Here's how to sell your house for cash in Birmingham during the winter…
It's one thing to try and sell your house during the winter. A real estate agent might be able to find you a buyer who wants to buy right away and can get financing without a lot of delays. But what if you want to sell fast, for cash this winter? What should you do?
Frankly, you'll probably want to skip working with a real estate agent and instead focus on a cash buyer who is able to move quickly, even during the winter season.
The Difference Between A Real Estate Agent And A Cash Buyer
A real estate agent will list your house and try to find a buyer who can help you. In most cases, that buyer will need to get bank financing.
Between the agent trying to find a buyer, and the buyer trying to get bank financing, you'll be stuck waiting a while because this process can take months. You may end up waiting until spring, depending on when you list your house.
How To Find A Cash Buyer
One way to find a cash buyer is to list your house "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO). However, you'll also need to specify that you're only accepting cash offers, which could actually limit the number of people who will buy from you.
Another way to find a cash buyer is to look online for a "sell my house fast" buyer or "cash home buyer" website and reach out to that person. However, you don't always know what you'll get when you do that.
Fortunately, we can help – we're cash buyers with the funds available to buy a property fast – and yes, we even pay cash to buy Birmingham houses in the winter!
Here's How To Work With A Cash Buyer
When you do find a cash buyer, they'll probably want to view your house and then they'll give you a cash offer. In some cases (such as when you work with us), there's no obligation so you get to choose if you want to accept the offer or not. You don't have to, but it's nice to know what the offer is.
If you do choose to accept the offer then you just tell the cash buyer when you want to close and if they're a professional company, they'll make all the arrangements for you.
Be sure to ask if there are any commissions or fees to pay. (We don't charge any but it's good to know if others do.)

Keeping your home cool in the hot summer months can be as costly as keeping it warm in the wintertime. These energy-saving tips can help you minimize your electricity bill while staying cool and comfortable during the heat of the summer months:
- Set your thermostat to 78° or higher. This can lower your cooling bill by approximately 12%.
- While you are away from home, set your thermostat higher and then lower it again when you return home.
- Use your ceiling fans in place of or in addition to central air conditioning. Using a ceiling fan with your A/C running makes it possible to raise the thermostat setting several degrees higher without sacrificing comfort.
- Open your windows and turn the A/C off in the cooler hours. If the temperature drops at night where you live, leave your windows open while you sleep to take advantage of the natural cooling, then shut them when you wake in the morning.
- Keep your cooling systems running efficiently with regular maintenance that includes replacing filters.
- Don't put lamps, TVs, or other appliances near your A/C thermostat. Heat from these appliances can cause your A/C to run more than it should.
- Use caulk or weather stripping to seal cracks and leaks around windows and doors to help keep the hot air out and the cool air in.
- Vacuum your cooling system registers regularly and make sure that furniture or household items are not blocking airflow.
- Avoid using the oven or the range on hot days. Use an outdoor grill, the microwave, a slow cooker, or a tabletop grill instead.
- Choose efficient lighting that runs cool. Approximately 85-90% of the electricity used with incandescent lighting produces heat, not light. LED lights are far cooler, and last longer.
- Wash only full loads of laundry or dishes, preferably in the cooler hours.
- Turn your water heater temperature down to a lower setting.
- Take quick showers instead of baths.
Saving Money with the Right Homeowners Insurance
Just as taking steps to save energy can reduce your cooling bill, finding the right homeowners insurance can also save you money. A number of factors affect the cost of homeowners insurance, including:
- Amount of coverage
- Location of your home
- Neighborhood crime statistics
- Fire safeguards
- Type of building materials
- Age and condition of the home
- Claims record
The amount of coverage you choose is a significant factor in the cost of your policy. The coverage you need will depend on the size and value of your dwelling, any other structures in addition to the main dwelling, the value of your personal property, and your exposure to liability. If you live in an area where natural disasters are more likely to occur, homeowners insurance premiums are often higher.
Your home is a major investment, and it is important to protect it with the right homeowners insurance policy. Our knowledgeable agency can help you obtain the homeowners insurance coverage you need at the best available price.

1For the sake of profit many sin,
and the struggle for wealth blinds the eyes.a
2A stake will be driven between fitted stones—
sin will be wedged in between buying and selling.
3Unless one holds fast to the fear of the Lord,
with sudden swiftness will one's house be thrown down.
4When a sieve is shaken, the husks appear;
so do people's faults when they speak.*
5The furnace tests the potter's vessels;
the test of a person is in conversation.b
6The fruit of a tree shows the care it has had;
so speech discloses the bent of a person's heart.c
7Praise no one before he speaks,
for it is then that people are tested.
8If you strive after justice, you will attain it,
and wear it like a splendid robe.
9Birds nest with their own kind,
and honesty comes to those who work at it.
10A lion lies in wait for prey,
so does sin for evildoers.
11The conversation of the godly is always wisdom,
but the fool changes like the moon.
12Limit the time you spend among the stupid,
but frequent the company of the thoughtful.
13The conversation of fools is offensive,
and their laughter is wanton sin.
14Their oath-filled talk makes the hair stand on end,
and their brawls make one stop the ears.
15The wrangling of the proud ends in bloodshed,
and their cursing is painful to hear.d
16Whoever betrays a secret destroys confidence,*
and will never find a congenial friend.e
17Cherish your friend, keep faith with him;
but if you betray his secrets, do not go after him;
18For as one might kill another,
you have killed your neighbor's friendship.
19Like a bird released from your hand,
you have let your friend go and cannot recapture him.
20Do not go after him, for he is far away,
and has escaped like a gazelle from a snare.
21For a wound can be bandaged, and an insult forgiven,
but whoever betrays secrets does hopeless damage.f
Malice, Anger and Vengeance
22Whoever has shifty eyes plots mischief
and those who know him will keep their distance;
23In your presence he uses honeyed talk,
and admires your words,
But later he changes his tone
and twists the words to your ruin.g
24I have hated many things but not as much as him,
and the Lord hates him as well.h
25A stone falls back on the head of the one who throws it high,i
and a treacherous blow causes many wounds.
26Whoever digs a pit falls into it,
and whoever lays a snare is caught in it.*
27The evil anyone does will recoil on him
without knowing how it came upon him.
28Mockery and abuse will befall the arrogant,
and vengeance lies in wait for them like a lion.
29Those who rejoice in the downfall of the godly will be caught in a snare,
and pain will consume them before they die.
30Wrath and anger, these also are abominations,
yet a sinner holds on to them.
* [27:4–7, 11–15] The importance of effective speech is a favorite wisdom topic; e.g., cf. 20:1–8, 18–20; 22:27–23:15.
* [27:16–28:11] Betrayal of confidence through indiscretion destroys friendship and does irreparable harm (27:16–21); cf. 22:22. False friendship based on hypocrisy and deceit is hateful to Ben Sira and, he adds, to God as well (27:22–24); it soon becomes a victim of its own treachery (27:25–27). The same fate awaits the malicious and vengeful (27:28–28:1). They can obtain mercy and forgiveness only by first forgiving their neighbor, being mindful of death and of the commandments of the Most High (28:2–7). And they must avoid quarrels and strife (28:8–11).
* [27:26] This expresses a popular idea of act and consequence; an evil (or good) deed is repaid by an evil (or good) result. The frequent metaphor is the digging of a hole for another to fall into; cf. Prv 26:27; Ps 7:14; 9:16; Eccl 10:8.

Iontophoresis Protocol: Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis may occur anywhere along the plantar fascia. Commonly it affects the fascia at its origin, at the medial tuberosity of the calcaneus, or along the medial aspect of the fascia. Inflammation here may result from:
• repeated overload to the fascia (e.g. through running)
• a pronated foot which has a flattened longitudinal arch.
• a high-arched, rigid foot.
• a sudden increase in body weight.
• a sudden increase in activity level.
Secondarily, if the problem is left untreated, often the inflammatory reaction at the calcaneus will produce a bone spur or. in extreme cases, calcification of the fascia itself.
Usually, the pain begins as a dull ache, progressing to a chronic, sharp pain. Commonly, the pain is worse upon arising, with the first few steps, and lessens as the plantar fascia stretches.

What is Barrett's Esophagus?
Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which the lining of the esophagus changes, becoming more like the lining of the small intestine than the esophagus. This occurs in the area where the esophagus is joined to the stomach.
It is believed that the main reason that Barrett's esophagus develops is because of chronic inflammation resulting from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Barrett's esophagus is more common in people who have had GERD for a long period of time or who developed it at a young age. It is interesting that the frequency or the intensity of GERD symptoms, such as heartburn, does not affect the likelihood that someone will develop Barrett's esophagus.
Most patients with Barrett's esophagus will not develop cancer. In some patients, however, a precancerous change in the tissue, called dysplasia, will develop. That precancerous change is more likely to develop into esophageal cancer.
At the current time, a diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus can only be made using endoscopy and detecting a change in the lining of the esophagus that can be confirmed by a biopsy of the tissue. The definitive diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus requires biopsy confirmation of the change in the lining of the esophagus.
Am I at risk for esophageal cancer?
There are two main types of esophageal cancer: squamous cell cancer and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. Squamous cell cancers occur most commonly in individuals who smoke cigarettes, use tobacco products and drink alcohol. In addition, African Americans are also at increased risk of developing this type of cancer. This cancer is also very common in many areas in Asia. The frequency of squamous cell cancer of the esophagus in the United States has remained the same. Another cancer, adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, occurs most commonly in people with GERD. It is also very common in Caucasian males with increased body weight. Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is increasing in frequency in the United States.
The most common symptom of GERD is heartburn, a condition that 20 percent of American adults experience at least twice a week. Although these individuals are at increased risk of developing esophageal cancer, the vast majority of them will never develop it. In a few patients with GERD (about 10 to 15 percent of patients), a change in the lining of the esophagus develops near the area where the esophagus and stomach join. When this happens, the condition is called Barrett's esophagus. Doctors believe that most cases of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus begin in Barrett's esophagus.
How does my doctor test for Barrett's Esophagus?
Your doctor will first perform an imaging procedure of the esophagus using endoscopy to see if there are sufficient changes for Barrett's esophagus. In an upper endoscopy, the physician passes a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope through your mouth and into the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. The endoscope has a camera lens and a light source and projects images onto a video monitor. This allows the physician to see if there is a change in the lining of the esophagus. If your doctor suspects Barrett's esophagus, a sample of tissue (a biopsy) will be taken to make a definitive diagnosis.
Capsule Endoscopy is another test that has been used to examine the esophagus. In capsule endoscopy, the patient swallows a pill-sized video capsule that passes naturally through your digestive tract while transmitting video images to a data recorder worn on your belt. With capsule endoscopy, the physician is not able to take a sample of the tissue (a biopsy).
Both of these techniques allow the physician to view the end of the esophagus and determine whether or not the normal lining has changed. Only an upper endoscopy procedure can allow the doctor to take a sample of the tissue from the esophagus to confirm this diagnosis, as well as to look for changes of potential dysplasia that cannot be determined on endoscopic appearance alone. Barrett's tissue has a different appearance than the normal lining of the esophagus and is visible during endoscopy.
Taking a sample of the tissue from the esophagus through an endoscope only slightly lengthens the procedure time, causes no discomfort and rarely causes complications. Your doctor can usually tell you the results of your endoscopy after the procedure, but you will have to wait a few days for the biopsy results.
Who should be screened for Barrett's Esophagus?
Barrett's esophagus is twice as common in men as women. It tends to occur in middle-aged Caucasian men who have had heartburn for many years. There is no agreement among experts on who should be screened. Even in patients with heartburn, Barrett's esophagus is uncommon and esophageal cancer is rare. One recommendation is to screen patients older than 50 years of age who have had significant heartburn or who have required regular use of medications to control heartburn for several years. If that first screening is negative for Barrett's tissue, there is no need to repeat it. There is a great deal of ongoing research in this area and so recommendations may change. You should check with your doctor on the latest recommendations.
How is Barrett's Esophagus treated?
Medicines and/or surgery can effectively control the symptoms of GERD. However, neither medications nor surgery for GERD can reverse the presence of Barrett's esophagus or eliminate the risk of cancer. There are some treatments available that can destroy the Barrett's tissue. These treatments may decrease the development of cancer in some patients and include heat (radiofrequency ablation, thermal ablation with argon plasma coagulation and multipolar coagulation), cold energy (cryotherapy) or the use of light and special chemicals (photodynamic therapy). In some patients, endoscopic techniques to locally remove abnormal Barrett's tissue may also be considered (for example, endoscopic mucosal resection).
It is necessary to discuss the availability and the effectiveness of these treatments with your gastroenterologist to be certain that you are a candidate. There are potential risks from these treatments and they may not benefit the majority of patients with Barrett's esophagus. There is much research being conducted in this area; you should talk with your doctor about the latest recommendations and guidelines.
What Is Dysplasia?
Dysplasia is a precancerous condition that doctors can only diagnose by examining tissue samples under a microscope. When dysplasia is seen in the tissue sample, it is usually described as being "high-grade," "low-grade" or "indefinite (or indeterminate) for dysplasia."
In high-grade dysplasia, abnormal changes are seen in many of the cells and there is an abnormal growth pattern of the cells. Low-grade dysplasia means that there are some abnormal changes seen in the tissue sample but the changes do not involve most of the cells, and the growth pattern of the cells is still normal. "Indefinite (or indeterminate) for dysplasia" simply means that the pathologist is not certain whether changes seen in the tissue are caused by dysplasia. Other conditions, such as inflammation or swelling of the esophageal lining, can make cells appear dysplastic when they may not be.
It is advisable to have any diagnosis of dysplasia confirmed by two different pathologists to ensure that this condition is present in the biopsy. If dysplasia is confirmed, your doctor might recommend more frequent endoscopies, or a procedure that attempts to destroy or remove the Barrett's tissue, or esophageal surgery. Your doctor will recommend an option based on how advanced the dysplasia is and your overall medical condition.
If I have Barrett's Esophagus, how often should I have an endoscopy to check for dysplasia?
The risk of esophageal cancer developing in patients with Barrett's esophagus is quite low, approximately 0.5 percent per year (or 1 out of 200 per year). Therefore, the diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus should not be a reason for alarm. It is, however, a reason to have periodic upper endoscopy examinations with biopsy of the Barrett's tissue.
If you have Barrett's esophagus and your first two upper endoscopy examinations with biopsies (performed about one year apart) do not show dysplasia, then upper endoscopy with biopsy should be repeated about every three years. If your biopsy shows dysplasia, then your doctor will make further recommendations regarding the next steps.

1. Nuniteinvesting: How To Recover Money From Nuniteinvesting Efficiently
In recent times, we have had a lot of complaints about a top platform for forex trading called Nuniteinvesting, it has been brought to our attention that there's a fraudulent scheme going on there with the aim to steal from investors. The FCA also confirmed in their publication that Nuniteinvesting.net is a scam platform. Just to clear any doubts, Nuniteinvesting.net is a SCAM.
If you have been scammed and you are looking for ways to recover your money from Nuniteinvesting, visit the The Capital Co (www.thecapitalco.net) website at www.thecapitalco.net.
All traders can access investing services from Nuniteinvesting. On the platform, no seasoned trader is likely to waste time or resources. Beginners need useful academic resources to comprehend how the market functions.
Nuniteinvesting positions itself as the top platform for forex trading. The investment company promises dependability and segregated funds. You get access to a variety of trading resources and tools. You must magically create an account in order to start making enormous profits. You do not go through the hurried registration process. You must, however, provide personal information when registering.
Review of Nuniteinvesting, the Nuniteinvesting Organization
As a result, there are a number of things to take into account before choosing to trade in any company. The world of trading is not for little kids. Negative outcomes are attracted by improper techniques. Scammers promise cutting-edge products and services. If you join up expecting identical services, the results are startling. Walk-in-the-park trading is provided by fraudulent businesses.
On its website, Nuniteinvesting doesn't offer enough details to endorse its services. Only various trading phrases are explained in the About US section. These trustworthy forex investment companies are using tried-and-true methods in the meanwhile. Through a practical method, you can benefit from respectable returns on your investment.
Top-tier liquidity providers' spreads for the Nuniteinvesting office. Everything it offers is absurd. The sales page's aspect is identical to that of many scam businesses. The investing company promises to monitor traders' demands. Accordingly, it asserts that a sizable customer base supports its offerings and business.
Nuniteinvesting Review
On Capitalglobalfc.com, quick investment execution is promised. Due to a non-emotional misinterpretation of the trading directives, automated trading is preferable to human trading. Even yet, con artists tout cutting-edge technologies. You should be careful not to buy the wrong tools because they will provide comparable results.
The investment firm does not advertise the algorithm of its software to generate money. Nuniteinvesting strives to produce enticing returns regardless of market circumstances. Results that are constant don't exist. You're probably going to have losing investments. Additionally, you can reduce losses by adding stop-loss to your appropriate risk management strategies. The investment company does not offer any loss prevention techniques.
All traders can access investing services from Nuniteinvesting. On the platform, no seasoned trader is likely to waste time or resources. Beginners need useful academic resources to comprehend how the market functions. Basic explanations of trade phrases are provided by con artists. Similar information is freely accessible online and free of charge. Furthermore, it is not a good idea to invest if you lack the necessary knowledge or market expertise.
Accounts with Nuniteinvesting and trading terms
Classic, ECN, and VIP accounts are available through Nuniteinvesting. The bare minimum investment is ten dollars. For the ECN plan, however, you can spend up to $1000. Customers can trade with a leverage of 1:1000 and fixed spreads starting at 2 pip. The investing company has no compelling reason to compel you to make more payments.
The dependable MetaTrader is incompatible with the trading program that is offered. Using a web trading platform only exposes you to malicious attacks from third parties. There is no proof that trade operations are occurring. Due to the likelihood of unfavorable results, similar data are lacking. The results to anticipate can be determined using trade history going back three months or more.
The trading conditions offered by the investment company are appalling. For trade services, you depend on the internet. The shifts in price patterns are influenced by inflation and price movements. In terms of investing, social trading is not the ideal strategy. When you invest, following trade recommendations that were successful for the account managers could not always have the same result.
The Workings of Nuniteinvesting
Nuniteinvesting does not offer a practical business plan. There are countless parallels between you and fraudulent businesses. It is foolish to anticipate any special treatment from con artists. The investing company guarantees favorable results. But academics make claims about returns that are unlikely to materialize, even with well-known companies. Consider your business done if you invest money with dodgy brokers. It has the effect of blocking your account or even access to its services.

Review of Nuniteinvesting and Features of Nuniteinvesting
Data for market analysis and news are available from Nuniteinvesting. There are hardly any revisions to the same information. The news and market analysis data come from dubious, unreliable sources. You're more prone to depend on inaccurate or outdated information. The investment firm does not just lack operational transparency.
Data about the company's founders or staff are not heard by Nuniteinvesting. There is no proof to support your claim that you depend on professional service. You could rely on trading advice from those who are unfamiliar with the workings of the market. False businesses keep their secrecy. To steal more money from unwitting clients, it generates clone entities.
Client Feedback Positive comments from its traders are absent from Nuniteinvesting. It asserts to have a sizable fan base. It receives very little traffic, which confirms the same. You are warmly welcomed to a trading firm by testimonials. It would be great if you took care not to believe any untrue statements, though.
Fraudsters pay experts to post favorable ratings. You'll probably come across stock photos and videos of purported content investors from services. To your horror, the individuals whose data is being used are completely unaware of Nuniteinvesting. Therefore, it would be better if you did not disregard the critical comments and warning signs.
Safety Fund Money security is not guaranteed by Nuniteinvesting. Your financial security should be a primary priority when choosing a platform. You run the danger of losing money by relying on strangers. Your information can end up in the wrong hands and be used for illegal purposes.
The investment company seems to primarily benefit the individuals who run it. It doesn't provide any information on quick trades made by traders. Without access to bank information, Nuniteinvesting cannot guarantee that money is secure. There is no demo account to practice using before making a real money investment.
Nuniteinvesting Contribution and Withdrawal
The minimum investment amount at Nuniteinvesting is $10. Fraudsters encourage non-refundable payment methods. Transactions made with a wire transfer or a cryptocurrency cannot be undone. The greatest choice to take into account for chargeback claims up to 540 days is credit or debit.
The investing company does not provide any proof of consumers' successful withdrawal transactions. It manages to keep your money for a very long time. They eventually vanish without a trace of your money. A withdrawal policy is not in place at Nuniteinvesting. It is uncertain how long it takes to handle comparable requests. If you are unhappy with the investing firm's services, there is no return procedure in place for you to get your money back.
Customer Service
Nuniteinvesting doesn't give any information regarding its whereabouts. You can get in touch with them by phone or email. You cannot be confident that your inquiry will be answered. Legitimate organizations will respond to inquiries quickly, if not immediately.
Building trust with the organization through customer support work is beneficial. Without good customer connections, it is unlikely that a friendly interface will be achieved. Once they have your money, fraudulent businesses stop communicating.
Status of Nuniteinvesting's regulation
A legitimate regulator does not appear to be monitoring Nuniteinvesting. There is no information about regulations that can be found. In most nations, using public monies without abiding by strict rules is prohibited. The authorities in charge of approving licensing for investment firms vary by nation.
However, these licensed forex investment companies exhibit a high degree of transparency. The available regulation documents can be quickly located and verified with trustworthy watchdogs. Scammers easily declare bankruptcy due to their inability to pay regulation costs. The founders and staff run the possibility of being prosecuted for engaging in illicit activity.
Nuniteinvesting It is unreliable for use in investments. The investment company is just interested in your money. It doesn't go into detail about how it provides traders with enticing rewards. Before making a purchase, it is best to do some research and read reviews from reputable sites.
Additionally, these trustworthy forex investment companies provide a positive trading environment. You benefit from reasonable returns or funds thanks to a focused approach, unlike Nuniteinvesting. Therefore, it is recommended to stay away from capitalglobalfx.com at all times until it increases its transparency.

Adult Female
Name: unnamed
Species: Tropical Leviathan
Birthday: Tuesday, July 9, 2024
Owner: FrostHusky
Element: Water
Beautifully colored sky blue and green, this creature feels silken smooth to the touch, its long crest delicate and thin. You are not fooled by its seemingly fragile appearance; coiled muscles and long tail can easily take down a ship, though this leviathan spends its time hunting for exotic plants to eat along the bottom of the lake.
Commonly found in the same locations as krakens, leviathans live in oceans or seas, but can frequent any body of water. Sailors told tales of boats being taken into watery depths by these massive beings, but leviathans only attack when provoked, or when the areas near their young are disturbed. With two webbed arms and a long, serpentine tail, leviathans travel at great speed and are great help to magis concerning matters of the sea.

Knee Arthroscopy
Knee Arthroscopy is a common surgical procedure performed using an arthroscope, a viewing instrument, to look into the knee joint to diagnose or treat a knee problem. It is a relatively safe procedure and a majority of the patient's discharge from the hospital on the same day of surgery.
Knee anatomy
The knee joint is one of the most complex joints of the body. The lower end of the thighbone (femur) meets the upper end of the shinbone (tibia) at the knee joint. A small bone called the patella (kneecap) rests on a groove on the front side of the femoral end. A bone of the lower leg (fibula) forms a joint with the shinbone.
To allow smooth and painless motion of the knee joint, articular surfaces of these bones are covered with a shiny white slippery articular cartilage. Two C-shaped cartilaginous menisci are present in between the femoral end and the tibial end.
Menisci act as shock absorbers providing cushion to the joints. Menisci also play an important role in providing stability and load bearing to the knee joint.
Bands of tissue, including the cruciate and collateral ligaments, keep the different bones of the knee joint together and provide stabilization to the joint. Surrounding muscles are connected to the knee bones by tendons. The bones work together with the muscles and tendons to provide mobility to the knee joint. The whole knee joint is covered by a ligamentous capsule, which further stabilizes the joint. This ligamentous capsule is also lined with a synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid for lubrication.
Indications for Knee arthroscopy
The knee joint is vulnerable to a variety of injuries. The most common knee problems where knee arthroscopy may be recommended for diagnosis and treatment are:
- Torn meniscus
- Torn or damaged cruciate ligament
- Torn pieces of articular cartilage
- Inflamed synovial tissue
- Misalignment of patella
- Baker's cyst: a fluid filled cyst that develops at the back of the knee due to the accumulation of synovial fluid. It commonly occurs with knee conditions such as meniscal tear, knee arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Certain fractures of the knee bones
Knee arthroscopy is performed under local, spinal, or general anaesthesia. Your anaesthesiologist will decide the best method for you depending on your age and health condition.
- The surgeon makes, two or three small incisions around the knee.
- Next, a sterile saline solution is injected into the knee to push apart the various internal structures. This provides a clear view and more room for the surgeon to work.
- An arthroscope, a narrow tube with a tiny video camera on the end, is inserted through one of the incisions to view the knee joint. The structures inside the knee are visible to the surgeon on a video monitor in the operating room.
- The surgeon first examines the structures inside the knee joint to assess the cause of the problem.
- Once a diagnosis is made, surgical instruments such as scissors, motorized shavers, or lasers are inserted through another small incision, and the repair is performed based on the diagnosis.
The repair procedure may include any of the following:
- Removal or repair of a torn meniscus
- Reconstruction or repair of a torn cruciate ligament
- Removal of small torn pieces of articular cartilage
- Removal of loose fragments of bones
- Removal of inflamed synovial tissue
- Removal of baker's cyst
- Realignment of the patella
- Making small holes or microfractures near the damaged cartilage to stimulate cartilage growth
- After the repair, the knee joint is carefully examined for bleeding or any other damage.
- The saline is then drained from the knee joint.
- Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures or steri-strips, and the knee is covered with a sterile dressing.
After the Surgery
Most patients are discharged the same day after knee arthroscopy. Recovery after the surgery depends on the type of repair procedure performed. Recovery from simple procedures is often fast. However, recovery from complicated procedures takes a little longer. Recovery from knee arthroscopy is much faster than that from an open knee surgery.
Pain medicines are prescribed to manage pain. Crutches or a knee brace may be recommended for several weeks. A rehabilitation program may also be advised for a successful recovery. Therapeutic exercises aim to restore motion and strengthen the muscles of the leg and knee.
Risks and complications
Knee arthroscopy is a safe procedure and complications are very rare. Complications specific to knee arthroscopy include bleeding into the knee joint, infection, knee stiffness, blood clots or continuing knee problems.

Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk and pass our long love's day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges' side
Shouldst rubies find: I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the Flood,
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow;
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast;
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart;
For, Lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate.
But at my back I always hear
Time's wingèd chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song: then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
The grave's a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.
Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,
Now let us sport us while we may,
And now, like amorous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour
Than languish in his slow-chapt power.
Let us roll all our strength and all
Our sweetness up into one ball,
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Thorough the iron gates of life:
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.

Washington, DC – With passage of the Wall Street Reform Conference Report, the Senate has approved a measure, authored by
U.S. Senators Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) and
Richard Lugar (R-IN), to increase transparency in the oil, gas and mining industries. The
Energy Security Through Transparency
(ESTT) provision will add stability to markets through greater information and predictability and help protect investors from undue risks associated with corrupt or unstable governments in oil-rich or mineral-wealthy countries. The provision requires extractive companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges to disclose, in their SEC filings, payments made to governments for oil, gas and mining.
"This provision is a critical part of the increased transparency and corporate responsibility that we are striving to achieve in the financial industry. Given the catastrophic events in the Gulf of Mexico, oil companies, in particular, should well understand that secrecy fosters instability, corruption and greater risk,"
said Senator Cardin, Chairman of the U.S. Helsinki Commission and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "Revenue transparency increases energy security and creates U.S. jobs by reducing the operating risk U.S. companies face in inherently unstable markets. We now have the tools to help people in resource-rich countries hold their leaders accountable for the money made from their oil, gas and minerals."
"Transparency empowers citizens, investors, regulators, and other watchdogs and is a necessary ingredient of good governance for countries and companies alike. The Cardin-Lugar amendment brings a major step in favor of increased transparency at home and abroad. It empowers investors to have a more complete view of the value of their holdings. It brings more information to global commodity markets, which would benefit price stability. Most importantly, it helps empower citizens to hold their governments to account for the decisions made by their governments in the management of valuable oil, gas, and mineral resources and revenues,"
said Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Lugar
in a Senate floor statement.
"The extractive industries transparency provision is another major step forward for protecting U.S. taxpayers and shareholders and increasing the transparency of major financial transactions,"
said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT). "This provision is about good governance and transparency so the American people and investors can know if they are investing in companies that are operating in dangerous or unstable parts of the world, thereby putting their investments at risk. It will also enable citizens of these countries to know what their governments are receiving from foreign companies in exchange for mining rights."
"This proposal is a great lever to support more transparency and healthier governance in poor countries," said
co-founder of the anti-poverty group ONE and U2 lead singer. "It will empower activists, media and good-governance watchdogs, both south of the equator and north, to ensure the continent's vast riches end up in service of its people, not lining the pocket of some kleptocrat. Senators Cardin and Lugar and Chairman Frank deserve tremendous credit, as do the many activists who brought this idea to fruition. And thanks to Senators Leahy, Chairman Dodd and Congresswoman Waters for their unflagging support of the world's poorest – this time through support for better transparency and governance."
"Congress' action is a big victory for the United States, for the citizens of every country with mining or oil or gas production, and for investors and people who recognize that financial transparency is essential for government and corporate accountability. The U.S. has raised the global standard for financial transparency for governments worldwide and for the oil, gas and mining industries,"
George Soros, Chairman of Soros Fund Management, LLC and founder of The Open Society Institute.
Passage of ESTT brings the U.S. to the leading edge of this issue and highlights its importance to our economic partners.
The Senators are hopeful that other major exchanges in Europe and Asia may soon follow suit.
The Cardin-Lugar provision is based on S. 1700, legislation offered by Senators Lugar, Cardin, Roger Wicker (R-MS), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Russ Feingold (D-WI), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).
The Cardin-Lugar language in the Conference Report requires companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges to disclose in their SEC filings payments made to governments for oil, gas and mining activities, resulting in:
Greater Corporate Transparency:
The extractive industries are capital-intensive and dependent on long-term stability to generate returns. Transparency of payments made to a government can help mitigate political and reputational risks and allow shareholders to make better-informed assessments of opportunity costs in what are often very high-risk operating environments that may be politically unstable, rife with corruption and have a history of civil conflict fueled, in part, by natural resources.
Increased Predictability for Investors:
Companies in the extractive sector face unique risks, which are heightened by the substantial capital employed in the extractive industries. The often opaque and unaccountable management of natural resource revenues by foreign governments creates unstable and high-cost operating environments for multinational companies. Minimizing those risks is crucial to investors.
Growth that Helps Alleviate Poverty:
Resource-rich countries are often home to some of the world's poorest people. Resource-revenue transparency enables citizens of these countries to hold their governments more accountable and can help ensure that a country's natural resource wealth is used wisely.
Enhanced Energy Security:
Increased transparency will directly benefit US energy security by helping to create more stable, democratic governments, and foster more stable business environments in resource-rich countries.

Beautiful woman looking for a Rich Husband!
Very often that women seek to marry rich men since they believe their beauty is worth lots of green bills, however, the following women posted this on a dating forum seeking a rich husband and the reply didn't take long! Her post reads: I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough. I'm here humbly to ask a few questions: 1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym) 2) Which age group should I target? 3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys. 4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married) Ms. Pretty A philosophical reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan below: Dear Ms. Pretty, I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money" : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased". Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool. Hope this reply helps. Signed, J.P. Morgan CEO
