It has been a while since I've blogged about how to write a query letter to a literary agent. But I have a lot of new readers, and they may not have gone through my archives. So, for them, and for the world, I want to drive home a point about query etiquette that I first introduced in this post about appropriate rejection response:
Don't serial query.
Your Work May Not Be Ready Yet
When I pass on your work, I'm saying: this isn't ready yet. You probably wrote that project during the current phase of your development as a writer. I'm saying you need to get to the next phase of your development, and possibly the phase after that, or the phase after that phase, before you're ready.
So don't send me something else, immediately, from the same phase of your development. Or, even worse, admit that you're sending me something that's even older than what you're querying around now, that's from an even earlier phase of your growth as a writer. That's objectively bad query etiquette.
Give Your Skills Time to Evolve
I want people who grow and develop their craft every time they sit down to write. I don't want your old stuff. I want your new ideas, your new skills, your evolving talent…once you've given it time to evolve. My favorite Ben Folds quote is pertinent here, and I say it every time I speak to an audience: "Time takes time, you know?"
For some reason, I've been noticing a lot of serial queries lately. A query. A pass. Another query, almost instantly, for an old project you just happen to have lying around. That could possibly work if you had a blockbuster drawer manuscript, but if you do, why didn't you start out by querying that one?
Send me your strongest work, the best example of where you are as a writer today, then, if you get a pass, go back and write some more. Evolve. Then try again. LATER. Take the time to learn from each submission process. You can't possibly do that until you've gone through the entire submission process, though.
How to Write a Query Letter to a Literary Agent: Be Thoughtful, Deliberate, and Strategic
You really shouldn't be one of those writers who's like a log ride: manuscript after manuscript after manuscript coming down your query chute. I only want to work with thoughtful writers who deliberately learn from each craft experience and then strategically plan their next move. No mad grasping. No flinging stuff against the wall just for the hell of it. That's just my opinion about query etiquette, though. Maybe other agents appreciate getting hit with query after query for all the stuff you have up your sleeves. Go serial query them, once they raise their hands and endorse this practice. 🙂
Wondering how to write a query letter to a literary agent? Hire me as your query editor and we can work on your submission materials or dig deeper into your picture book, novel, or non-fiction proposal together.

JYJ Junsu Sells His Hotel For Profit, Employees Outraged At Unfair Treatment
JYJ's Junsu is embroiled in a controversy just days before he enlists in the South Korean military after workers from his hotel came forward claiming mistreatment and poor working conditions.
Employees from JYJ's Junsu's hotel have come forward alleging poor working conditions and their discomfort at the hotel's management style.
Junsu opened his hotel, Toscana Hotel, in September 2014 on the island of Jeju, South Korea. In the past, Junsu has revealed that it has been a life-long dream of his to own a hotel and that he loved the island of Jeju.
However, it's now been revealed that the hotel was sold to a real estate company on January 7, 2017. Junsu sold his hotel for a total of ~₩24 billion KRW ($21 million USD) for a net profit of ~₩3 billion KRW ($2.62 million USD).
Since the sale, employees have come forward with multiple allegations of financial grievances. The employees have claimed they are missing wages, been paid late in the past, received no retirement fund and have had zero communication from management.
Dispatch has now released an exclusive investigative report detailing the grievances of employees at Junsu's Toscana Hotel.
The Toscana Hotel — A Family Run Hotel
The Toscana Hotel is located in the Seogwipo area of Jeju Island. The hotel was freshly built on the land Junsu purchased in January 2011 for the amount of ₩1.72 billion KRW ($1.5 million USD). ₩15 billion KRW ($13.1 million USD) was then borrowed from the bank to build the hotel.
The hotel is composed of 61 rooms in the main four-story building and four villa suites in the outdoor area of the hotel. The largest swimming pool in the whole island of Jeju is also located at this hotel.
Management of the hotel is completely family-run. Junsu's father Kim Jin-Seok is the hotel Chairman, his brother Kim Moo Young is the CEO, his unnamed aunt is the business manager and his unnamed cousin is listed as the manager.
Employees revealed that due to the family run environment of the hotel, the financial infrastructure of the hotel was somewhat questionable. For example, Junsu's personal bank account was the designated account for all hotel accommodation fees, and there wasn't a separate bank account for the hotel.
"Delayed salaries for over three weeks."
The hotel's management style was extremely poor according to employees that spoke with Dispatch. Employees claimed that the management did not ensure steps were taken to maintain the well-being of the hotel and the employees. They claim there was minimal interest towards matters that did not directly involve or concern the family, even if it was regarding the employee's salaries.
Employees complained that their monthly wages were often extremely late and caused mistrust between the employees and the managerial staff.
"I have never been paid on time for my monthly salary. I have always had my salary delayed for at least 20 days."
— Anonymous Employee
Dispatch confirmed the shocking confession made by the employee through documents presented as proof. During the following months and years – the employee did indeed have a delay in payments for at least three weeks.
Payments made in December 2015 and the months of February, March April, July, October, November, and December in 2016 were late.
A text message allegedly from the Toscana Hotel Management was also shown to Dispatch, as evidence of the employee's claims. The text message reads as follows:
Thank you very much for your continued hard work. The hotel is going through some financial hardships so this is a text message to annouce that salaries will be delayed.
Please understand the stituation.
We will work hard to get your salaries sent [to you] as soon as possible.
— Toscana Hotel Management
Due to the continued delay in salaries, the employee confessed that they had to rely on credit cards to get by. They went on to reveal that because of continuous delays by the hotel to pay their salary, they were unable to make payments on the card in time.
Furthermore, banks denied loans to this employee because of their poor credit score resulting from late payments due to this incident.
January sale of the hotel and unknown job security for employees.
Through the public records of land registration on Jeju Island, Dispatch confirmed the sale of Toscana Hotel to a real estate developer on January 7, 2017. The transfer of ownership is still under process as of February 7, 2017.
Employees were not given a formal notice regarding the sale of the hotel and only found out nearly a month after the sale. Employees are concerned that after ownership of the hotel has been transferred, their continued employment may be uncertain.
Also, Toscana Hotel did not have a proper retirement fund process ready for employees. One worker stated that an employee who was set to retire had their official retirement delayed for nearly six months before being paid. The employee in question only received their retirement pay after threatening to report the hotel to the labor department.
Junsu's impending military enlistment and the future of Toscana Hotel
Junsu is set to enlist in the military on February 9, 2017, where serve for nearly two years before returning to civilian life.
Dispatch contacted Junsu's agency, C-JES Entertainment, and Toscana Hotel for a response but failed to get a clear answer to the issue at hand. His agency responded with the following when contacted:
"This is a personal issue of our artist, Junsu. Our agency has no relation to the hotel [or its] management, so details regarding this matter should be directed towards the hotel."
— C-JES Entertainment
Update: Seven hours after Dispatch released the investigative report, the Toscana Hotel released an official statement to express their position and Junsu's position on the issue.
Below is a full translation of the statement issued by the Toscana Hotel.
"We would like to address Kim Junsu's official position on the sale of the Toscana Hotel through this statement today.
First of, we would like to point out that Kim Junsu's sale of the Toscana Hotel was not an immoral act as painted by the media today. It was rather an inevitable act to prevent the worst from happening.
Sale of Toscana Hotel
The process of selling the hotel will be fully explained. The Toscana Hotel has been growing thanks to the support of our many customers over the years. Unfortunately, it fell under a financial hardship recently. It was too difficult to continue with normal operations due to the overlapping situations of employee wages, the monthly large-scale interest payments and the hotel's low season.
Even with these overlapping situations, Kim Junsu has been working towards a grand solution. A large portion of the hotel's operating expenses has been covered by Kim Junsu's personal income and investment. However, due to his impending military enlistment, this solution cannot be a long-term one.
Furthermore, due to all these problematic situations – time was an important factor at play. There was little time, and the problems kept growing larger with each passing day. We were worried the auction with the real estate company would be in jeopardy if we didn't act fast. In order to avoid a dire situation, Kim Junsu acted fast and sold the hotel to a professional manager who knows and understands how to maintain the hotel better than himself.
This sale does not mean that Kim Junsu is completely out of the picture in regards to the hotel's affairs. Kim Junsu will be more involved thanks to the conditions of the hotel's sale. Until now, he has been participating with the hotel through his family – with the sale's completion, Kim Junsu will personally be a part of the hotel's affairs as a joint stakeholder.
Employee Wage Issue
At the current period of time, there are absolutely no pending wages. All employee of the Toscana Hotel has been paid for. It is true that there were delays during the hotel's time with financial hardships. We would like to clarify that there are no overdue matters regarding wages. Any and all pending employee salaries were paid after the completion of the hotel's sale. Additionally, retirement benefits and dismissal benefits have been paid in full as well.
As mentioned previously, completion of the hotel's sale was the most immediate urgency. That was the most pressing matter, and that is why we also conducted conditions with the new owner. Most employees will be keeping their current jobs, and the buyer will try their best to accommodate as many employees. Employees will remain unconditional employees for the initial two months, and during that time, they are free to stay or leave the hotel. The salaries will be paid by the new buyer.
Kim Junsu has done the most he can to make the best out of this situation. He has made incredible personal investments to alleviate the transitioning process. The hotel has suffered a lot of financial losses to prevent the worst from happening. Through this hard process, it was possible to give employees retirement benefits.
Personal Bank Account Deposits
Lastly, many media outlets have raised questions regarding the direct payments to Kim Junsu's bank account for accommodation fees. To address this point, the Toscana Hotel is a private business of Kim Junsu. It is not owned by a corporation. Therefore, all transactions were made through Kim Junsu."
– The Toscana Hotel
Junsu is currently at home, preparing for his military enlistment making arrangements for his possessions for the next two years.

'Monogamy is hard, in writing as in life!'
On getting started as a writer
"Write what truly, obsessively interests you, not what you imagine will sell. You have to give yourself permission to write a terrible first draft. I often let myself put in several adjectives - e.g. brutal/savage/merciless/relentless - figuring that I can pick the right one later."
On writer's block
"I've never had writer's block yet, which I attribute, not just to luck, but also to my technique. I would advise anyone looking to ward-off writer's block to start writing something else, a completely different project. I'm always working on about six different projects at various stages of development, so if I don't feel like working on one I just turn to another. Basically, monogamy is hard, in writing as in life!"
On adapting the book to screenplay
"The only risk with a novelist adapting their book to screen would be if a novelist was just doing it out of propriety, not a genuine love of cinema. I think whoever wants to try her hand at it, she should in. I say 'she' because women are big successes in fiction but represent a pathetic share of screenwriters, so I'd love to see more female novelists do their own screenplays too.
Literary novels have no rules, infinite freedom and an infinite budget! Films have many more constraints and above all, less time to say everything in, so the first thing I did with Room was cut lots of characters and situations that weren't crucial for the film.

Lake Stymphalia is located in the mountainous region of the Peloponnese in southern Greece. It is one of the most important inland wetlands of its kind in the Mediterranean, harbouring such rare bird species as Aythya nyroca, Ixobrychus minutus, Ardea purpurea, which is why it is included in the Natura 2000 Network. According to Greek mythology, it is here that Hercules completed his 6th Labour, by defeating the Stymphalian birds.
The wetland presents a unique landscape where biodiversity intermingles with the ruins of the ancient city of Stymphalos and with the rich cultural heritage of the area. Ancient Stymphalos was inhabited from the 4th century BC until the 6th century AD. Nowadays, a big part of the city lies almost sunken under the Lake.
The dual identity of the site was used as the theme for the establishment of an interpretation trail "Man and Nature on the Paths of the Time" It was developed and built in collaboration between the Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation, the municipality of Sikyonion, OIKOM Environmental Studies Ltd, the Society for the Protection of Prespa and the Centre for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving and co-financed by the EU LIFE programme. It is an easy, self-guided, linear hiking route of 1.8 km (duration: 2 hours' roundtrip) that links the Environment Museum of Stymphalia with the wetland and the archaeological site.
Information signs are placed along the trail, highlighting the ecosystem of the Natura 2000 site, its cultural landscape and its archaeological finds. A bird observatory offers an unobstructed view of the Lake while providing information on the protected bird species. So far (April-September 2017), the path has been visited by around 1500 individuals, including school groups, scouts, NGOs, mountaineering clubs, etc.
An exhibition on the lake and Natura 2000 entitled "The Sixth Labour" has also been installed at the local museum in order to raise awareness about the lake's rich heritage and the need to protect it. Commenting on the Lake's mythological past, the exhibition gives Hercules' labour a new meaning: if mutually respected, man and the environment can co-exist in harmony. In recent times, the lake has suffered significantly from incompatible agricultural practices and bird hunting activities, these issues are now also being addressed through other aspects of the LIFE-Stymfalia project.
The ongoing exhibition attracted more than 47,000 visitors in the last 2 years and has inspired several parallel educational and cultural events.

Thrashers 4, Senators 3, OT
Bryan Little made the most of the scoring opportunity that opened up in front of him when Ottawa's Jason Spezza tried to make a blind pass.
Little jumped on Spezza's no-look pass in Atlanta's zone and drove down the ice to score his second goal of the game 1:09 into overtime, giving the Thrashers a 4-3 win over the Senators on Monday night.
''I knew the defenseman was coming, and I think he might have had it if it was a little harder of a pass, but it was soft and I had lots of time to get to it,'' Little said. ''I knew as soon as I tipped it I had a good chance coming up. My eyes lit up, definitely.''
Dustin Byfuglien had a goal and an assist for Atlanta, which recovered from blowing a 3-0 lead. Byfuglien assisted on Little's goal late in the first period and scored his ninth goal 17:38 into the second to give the Thrashers the big advantage they eventually squandered.
Jim Slater also had a goal, and Chris Thorburn had two assists in the first period. Ondrej Pavelec made 27 saves for Atlanta, which has won 10 of 12.
''Good teams find ways to win, and we've been doing that,'' said Thrashers defenseman Zach Bogosian, who held up Spezza to set up the Ottawa center's tying goal. ''Pav's been really big for us. They could have easily went up there by a goal at the end. He made some pretty big saves, so it was big on Bryan Little to step up in overtime and get that win for us.''
Spezza scored Ottawa's second goal in a span of 1:35 on a penalty shot 7:23 into the third as the Senators tied it 3-3. He snapped a shot past Pavelec for his eighth goal after Bogosian tied him up on a breakaway.
''It's part of the game,'' Bogosian said. ''Unfortunately, they got a goal on it but more importantly we got the win. The whole thing started with a bad bounce. I went to swat at it, and it just jumped over my stick.''
Ottawa captain Daniel Alfredsson started the comeback late in the second period when he ended a 10-game drought without a point by notching his first goal in 12 games.
Chris Neil drew the Senators within 3-2 with his second of the season 5:48 into the third.
Brian Elliott made 20 saves.
''It's encouraging that we kept plugging away,'' Alfredsson said. ''I think we've put a string of good games together here recently, and we can't get discouraged even though we don't get the two points. We've got to keep going forward and build off that and hopefully get a streak going.''
Alfredsson's goal with 1:29 left in the second was his first since Nov. 17, when he scored Ottawa's lone goal in a 7-1 loss at Carolina. This was his longest stretch without a point in his 16-year career with the Senators.
''It was nice to get it, no question,'' Alfredsson said.
Neil drew the Senators within 3-2 with his second goal 5:48 into the third.
Slater got credit for his fifth goal 9:36 in after Eric Boulton's shot went in off his skate.
Little made it 2-0 at 17:18 when he scored for a third straight game. Byfuglien carried the puck around Ottawa's zone before passing off to Thorburn, who drove a slap shot on net from the point. Little put away the rebound to extend his point streak to four games.
Ottawa's defensive pair of Chris Campoli and Matt Carkner was on the ice for the Thrashers' first three goals.
NOTES: Hall of Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins was in attendance. Jenkins, an Ontario native who won the National League Cy Young Award with Chicago in 1971, was given an ovation when he was introduced to the crowd during the second period. ... RW Niclas Bergfors, LW Ben Eager and D Freddy Meyer sat out for the Thrashers. ... The Senators played their 700th home game in modern franchise history.

Toronto mayor and brother to host online show
Toronto mayor to host online show
TORONTO - Embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and his brother say they will host an online show so they can take their message straight to "Ford Nation," the name of the show and the term they use for the mayor's conservative suburban supporters.
Doug Ford, a Toronto city councilor, told The Associated Press Friday that the show is meant to "to get their message out and not have that message be twisted by the media."
Since the mayor admitted to smoking crack in a "drunken stupor," Toronto's city council has stripped him of most his powers after he refused to resign or take a leave of absence.
Rob Ford said he has "declared war" on the council after it acted in response to his crack use, public drunkenness and a series of outbursts that have made him an international media sensation, to the embarrassment of many Canadians.
The new webcast follows last week's airing of a single episode of a TV talk show hosted by the Fords that premiered on Sun News Network before it was cancelled. Network executives said "Ford Nation" was the highest rated program ever on the two-year-old cable channel, but said it was too costly to make.
The Fords co-hosted the hour-long TV program. The mayor used much of the prerecorded program to defend himself and talk up his re-election bid.
Doug Ford said the new self-funded online series, also to be called "Ford Nation," will be uploaded to YouTube before Christmas.
"Numerous people have approached us around the world about doing a show and since technology has changed, you can get your message out easily to a larger audience on your own," said Doug Ford.
"The objective is to get a clear message out there," he said. "We'll say a sentence and the media will clip four or five words out of it and it won't be clear or balanced."
He said that since the council moved to strip his brother of most of his mayoral powers, Rob Ford has become "a man on a mission."
Ford said the mayor has given up drinking for good and is committed to leading a healthier lifestyle.
"If Rob comes back a new man, 70-80 pounds (30-36 kilograms) lighter, he's going to win the next election," he said.

Make it stop!
We don't see or feel any incoming teeth, but his screams are evidence enough that they're on their way.
Ramblings of a computer geek…
Oh geesh! That picture!….It hurts to look at!
If I may offer one piece of teething advice that helped my kids? Wet the bristles of a new toothbrush and freeze for several hours, before letting him chew on it. Sometimes the teething rings are way too big for such tiny mouths, but he'll be able to get the toothbrush right where he needs it.
Obviously, stay close while he uses it so he doesn't perform a self-tonsillectomy. Good luck.

Oh! very sweet idea.

Flanked by bamboo torches, a group of around 50 men carry a portable shrine (mikoshi) on their shoulders. At intervals they stop and shake the temporary home of the kami, then move onwards to their destination – the Kamogawa in Gion, Kyoto where the mikoshi will be purified with sacred water from the river. Following the mikoshi down Shijo-dori I clap and shout 'hoitto, hoitto' along with others in the crowd. The energy in the street is palpable. The Mikoshi Arai, part of the world famous Gion Festival, sets the stage for a series of events in Kyoto over the month of July. The Yamaboko Junko Parade on July 17th, featuring two distinct kinds of enormous wooden floats, is the best known and attended of these events. A week earlier the Mikoshi Arai, which stretches across dusk and darkness, purifies the entire Gion Festival.
Tsuyu, the rainy season
It's the fourth week of June 2016 and it is the rainy season in Japan. The season is known as Tsuyu, meaning "plum rain", because it coincides with the season of plums ripening. It is hot, sticky and very wet at times. It also means long days, vibrant vegetation, misty mountains, rice fields in flood, hydrangeas, the refreshing of water supplies and more. As you might expect, my thoughts over this period have turned to the element of water. I am using illustrations to help tell this part of the story of elemental Japan.

In real life I help people make sense of money and men...I get paid for the money portion. People pay me to be honest and help them find solutions. I have the unique experience of being from a mostly Black City,
, then modeling for a mostly white magazine, Playboy and then working in a male dominated industry, finance. I noticed that the white models(particularly the blonds) were freaggin ninjas when it came to getting men and that my black girlfriends were clueless and stubborn to boot. I studied them and took notes. Everything I share is from a place of love but again I work in money so I might be short sometimes (I don't take the extra time to smooth things over). Forgive me, if I offend. I want you to win and I'm going to give it to you straight. Chicago

A series of book covers for the Japanese zuihitsu classics – Essays in Idleness, The Ten Square Foot Hut and The Pillow Book.
Linear forms were extracted from everyday objects – hand-cut noodles, steamed eggs and foliage. Different line qualities – jagged angles, meandering curves, and intricate patterns – allude to the respective personalities of the three classics.

I Bring You…A Gift – A New Era for the Digital Age Artist by Kristen Lamb
Welcome to the Digital Age. It is an amazing time to be a writer. There are so many opportunities to succeed, and, for the first time in human history, it is actually possible for a fiction author to not only make a living, but earn a good living.
For the first time, an author's work ethic and training truly count. In the Digital Age, it ain't over until we quit. In the old paradigm, countless good books failed to to thrive because of a number of factors outside the artist's control. Additionally, many excellent works were never published for factors that had more to do with the market than the quality of the writing…(Read More at the Link above).

Dassault Falcon 2000
Country of Origin
Transcontinental range mid to large size corporate jet
The Falcon 2000 is the latest member of the Falcon business jet line, and is a transcontinental range, slightly smaller development of the Falcon 900 trijet
The Falcon 2000 shares the 900's wing and forward fuselage, but there are a number of design changes. From the start the Falcon 2000 was designed with a range of 5560km (3000nm) in mind, which is less than the transcontinental 900's range. This design range removed the need for the redundancy of three engines for long range overwater flights, allowing the two new CFE738 engines to be fitted, which offer considerable maintenance and operating economics benefits. The CFE738 engine was developed specifically for the Falcon 2000 by a partnership of General Electric and AlliedSignal, known as CFE. Meanwhile, the 2000's fuselage is 1.98m (6ft 6in) shorter than the 900's and so houses less fuel, passengers and baggage.
Another noticeable design change between the 900 and 2000 is the area ruled rear fuselage. Dassault engineers found that the three engine layout of the 900 to be aerodynamically efficient, whereas the twin engine design of the 2000 originally would have been comparatively draggy. To combat this and reduce drag to desired levels Dassault designed an area ruled (or Coke bottle) rear fuselage, using its Catia three dimensional computer aided design program.
Changes to the wing include a modified leading edge and the inboard slats have been removed, while the cockpit features a Collins four screen EFIS avionics system with optional Flight Dynamics head-up displays (allowing hand flown approaches in Cat II and Cat IIIa conditions).
Dassault has a number of industry partners in the Falcon 2000 program, foremost of these being Alenia, which is a 25% risk sharing partner. Alenia in turn has subcontracted some work to Dee Howard and Piaggio.
Dassault announced it was developing the Falcon 2000, then known as the Falcon X, in June 1989. First flight occurred on March 4 1993 and certification was awarded in November 1994. The first customer delivery occurred in March 1995.

Two 25.6kN (5725lb) CFE (General Electric & AlliedSignal) CFE73811B turbofans.
Max cruising speed at 39,000ft Mach 0.83-0.85. Max certificated altitude 47,000ft. Range at 0.80 Mach cruising speed with eight passengers 5560km (3000nm), at 0.75 Mach 5788km (3125nm).
Empty equipped 9405kg (20,735lb), max takeoff 16,238kg (35,800lb).
Wing span 19.33m (63ft 5in), length 20.23m (66ft 5in), height 7.06m (23ft 2in). Wing area 49.0m2 (527.6sq ft).
Flightcrew of two. Main cabin seating typically for eight passengers, or up to 12 in a high density layout.
First customer delivery occurred in March 1995. Over 60 delivered by late 1998.

In This Review
Sun damage is a major reason for skin discolorations. These may also appear naturally as a result of pregnancy, aging, or hormone changes. Whatever their cause, Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream was created to treat these discolorations, without causing further damage to the complexion.
The company claims that the product uses an advanced brightening formula, which limits the body's production of melanin, the compound that makes skin darker, and which can cause discolorations.
The goal is to end up with brighter skin, with fewer or less noticeable dark spots, a more even skin tone, and an overall appearance that is more youthful.
The product is intended for daily use, and says that it will not cause itching, flaking, or irritation.
Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream – Overview
Many skin lightening products contain hydroquinone, a chemical compound that can cause flaking, itching skin in some people. Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream does not contain this, so it should be gentler for the skin than some other products.
Instead, the company claims that this product works because of its revolutionary peptide technology, which is able to reduce the production of melanin by 40 percent.
Since melanin is responsible for darkening the skin, reducing it can lower the discoloration of dark spots, whether due to sun damage, melasma, or age.
Studies claim that most people who use this cream have seen some improvements in their skin tone after using it for 8 to 10 weeks.
The cream says that it is ideal for people with sensitive skin, due to its non-irritating and non-toxic components.
Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream – Ingredients
The lightening properties of this skin cream come from a natural component found in licorice root extract, which is also known to be helpful for atopic dermatitis.
Another compound, Phenylethyl resorcinol (marketed as SynWhite 377) is partially derived from the bark of Scotch pine trees, which contain some natural lightening compounds. Some studies claim that this chemical works to brighten the complexion, and harmful side effects were not observed.
People have also claimed that allantoin can stimulate healthy skin growth with a keratolytic effect and that it has beneficial anti-inflammatory properties, too.
As a moisturizing cream, this product contains a variety of humectants and emollients, which include:
- Glycerin
- Sodium PCA
- Caprylic / Capric Triglycerides
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Pentylene Glycol
Sodium hyaluronate is also included, which is supposed to penetrate deep into the skin, providing moisture to the spaces between connective fibers in the skin.
A relatively new compound, bis-ethoxydiglycol cyclohexane 1,4-dicarboxylate, is also included to condition the skin.
Complete list of ingredients:
Water (Aqua/Eau), Pentylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, 4-Dicarboxylate, Glycerin, Bis-Ethoxydiglycol Cyclohexane 1, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Decapeptide-12, Cetyl Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Panthenol, Sodium PCA, Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract, Ceteth-10 Phosphate, Sclerotium Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Phenylethyl Resorcinol, Dicetyl Phosphate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Aminomethyl Propanol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin, Butylene Glycol.
Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream Advantages
- Brightens the skin, reducing appearance of dark spots
- Non-irritating, non-toxic, and safe for all skin types and prolonged use
- Will not make skin more sensitive to the sun
- Stabilized so it will retain its potency
- Rich moisturizer that can be used with other retinoids
Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream Disadvantages
- Doesn't provide customers with proof that the cream is non-irritating
- Some of the claims made are contradictory; they mention the product doesn't cause irritations but on the complete list of ingredients the cream contains Cetearyl Alcohol
- Expensive product
- Makes unfounded allegations – the product cannot be suitable for all skin types since it has in its composition ingredients that are not advised for sensitive skin
Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream – FAQ's
Q: Is Lumixyl is Effective for All Skin Types?
A: Yes. The manufacturers claim the Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream is suitable for all types of skin. They also mention it is safe for prolong use. That can't be true as lightening cream can have severe side effects, particularly if they're being used long term.
Q: How to apply for better benefits?
A: Apply the Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream on the dry, clean skin in the morning and at night. Avoid the delicate area close to the eyes. The manufacturers advise us to use the cream with a sunscreen with an SPF of 30. If you're not using the Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream with sunscreen your hyperpigmentation problems can aggravate.

Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream – Final Verdict
The Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream uses revolutionary peptide technology, which the company claims lets it reduce the appearance of darkened skin spots due to sun damage, age, or other causes. The cream works to provide a more even skin tone and brighten the complexion. It avoids the use of the dangerous and irritating compound hydroquinone, which has been linked to cancer. The product is definitely not inexpensive, but it is much less costly than using a cosmetic procedure to attain similar results. Customers are advised to consult a dermatologist before starting to use the Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream.
Skin Brighteners aid in reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation revealing even skin tone. Skin brighteners also can help revitalize tired and dull skin resulting in a youthful, healthy glow.

Islamabad: In the latest development in the ongoing probe of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination, the Joint Investigating Team (JIT) has admitted that Pervez Musharraf's alleged threat call to the ex-premier in 2007 could not be traced either from the two mobile phones of Bhutto or the ex-military chief's cellphone.
The admission came from Mohammad Khalid Qureshi, JIT chief, during cross-examination by Barrister Farogh Nasim, Musharraf's counsel, in the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC), Rawalpindi.
However, he didn't deny the possibility that the then President Musharraf may have used one of his official phones to make the call.
Qureshi, who is a former additional director general of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), was the last prosecution witness in the high-profile murder case, Dawn News reported.
The prosecution's case was based on the threatening call which Musharraf allegedly made to Bhutto while she was at the office of US Congressman Tom Lantos.
According to the prosecution, US lobbyist Mark Siegel claimed that on September 25, 2007, in his presence at the office of Congressman Lantos in Washington, Bhutto received a telephone call which she later described as "a very bad call" from Musharraf.
The statement said the former military ruler had warned Bhutto that "her safety depends on the state of their (Musharraf and Benazir's) relationship".
According to Siegel, Bhutto sent him an email on October 26, 2007, in which she expressed her sense of insecurity. She also said if something happened to her, she would hold the military ruler responsible, apart from the individuals mentioned in her letter to Musharraf on October 16, 2007.
The individuals Bhutto had mentioned in the letter were -- retired Brigadier Ejaz Shah, retired Lt Gen Hameed Gul and former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.
During the cross-examination, Nasim asked Qureshi whether he submitted any forensic report of the email to the ATC.
In response, Qureshi admitted that no forensic report was submitted to the court and said the email was sent from two official accounts of Bhutto and did not need any forensic audit.
Qureshi also denied of having any direct evidence of the conversation between Musharraf and the then city police officer Rawalpindi Saud Aziz.
The prosecution had alleged that Aziz washed the crime scene to destroy the evidence on Musharraf's direction.
Bhutto, former two-time premier, was killed on December 27, 2007, when she was coming out of a park in Rawalpindi after addressing an election rally.

Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most well-known songs by the British rock band Queen. Originally written by Freddie Mercury for the 1975 album A Night at the Opera, Bohemian Rhapsody differs from many pop songs as it consists of various miniature sections without a chorus. It was a commercial success worldwide, selling over a million copies in its first year of release. Although initial critical reception of Bohemian Rhapsody was mixed, it now is frequently placed on modern lists of the greatest songs of all time. This intermediate level piano arrangement is prepared especially to give the pianist a very fun playing experience, it would be an excellent piece to play at a concert!
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.
Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Mama, ooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows),
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.
(Galileo) Galileo.
(Galileo) Galileo,
Galileo Figaro
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Never let you go (Never, never, never, never let me go)
Oh oh oh oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.)
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.
(Ooooh, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.
Any way the wind blows.

Brock Turner, the 20-year-old former Stanford swimmer convicted of three felonies in a rape case that's garnered national attention, has incurred a lifetime ban from USA Swimming, the organization that controls competitive swimming in the United States. This is welcome news to those of us outraged by Turner's paltry legal punishment after being charged with assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated or unconscious person, penetration of an intoxicated person, and penetration of an unconscious person. After reading the heart-wrenching victim impact statement from Emily Doe (a pseudonym), the 23-year-old woman Turner assaulted in January 2015, it's almost impossible to believe Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Turner to six months in jail—he'll probably only serve three—and probation. But he did.
The sentence is an atrocious, disheartening example of how some of our society views sexual assault. Nothing could ever make up for the frankly embarrassing lack of justice, but USA Swimming's statement on the matter is gratifying.
"Brock Turner's membership with USA Swimming expired at the end of the calendar year 2014. He was not a member at the time of his crime or since then. USA Swimming doesn't have any jurisdiction over non-members," USA Swimming spokesman Scott Leightman told USA TODAY Sports in an email.
He continued: "Brock Turner is not a member of USA Swimming and, should he apply, he would not be eligible for membership...Had he been a member, he would be subject to the USA Swimming Code of Conduct. USA Swimming strictly prohibits and has zero tolerance for sexual misconduct, with firm Code of Conduct policies in place, and severe penalties, including a permanent ban of membership, for those who violate our Code of Conduct."
In short, even though Turner will walk free after just a few months, he won't ever be able to pursue a competitive swimming career in the U.S. And yes, that's a good thing. Persky originally sentenced Turner so lightly because he worried a harsher sentence would have "a severe impact" on Turner. What about the severe impact on Emily, who has to carry with her the knowledge that her rape—which happened behind a dumpster while she was unconscious, which ended with pine needles and lacerations in her vagina, which she only learned the details of when she saw a news article about it—wasn't worth giving someone more than a slap on the wrist.
Turner deserves a punishment that impacts him severely. That's what should happen when you irrevocably, terribly, and yes, severely impact someone else's life just because she was unlucky enough to be at a party with you. So, no, the fact that Turner can no longer swim competitively in the United States isn't enough, but it's a damn good place to start.

I'm watching Dr. Drew's show from last night and there's a lot of discussion on which came first, the gunshot wound or the knife wounds. Of course this is a very important point.
But why is no one talking about the question of, if she did use the gun first, why not just keep shooting him? Did the gun only have one bullet in it, and if so, that in itself would be ridiculous (after all, she went to Walmart for crying out loud, and could've bought some there if needed). And surely even Jodi isn't stupid enough to only have one bullet, given all the planning and trouble she went through to get to Mesa and kill Travis. So for the sake of this particular argument, let's assume there were several bullets in the gun.
(A caller on one of the HLN shows brought up this point about "why-didn't-she-just-keep-shooting?", so I'm not taking credit for the question, this is just my theory on the order, and Why.)
The answer is fairly obvious – but despite all of the enormously vile sickery we've been exposed to over the course of this trial, maybe we're just not quite ready yet to go there. But I'm gonna go there.
The reason she didn't just kill him by shooting him, however many shots that may have taken, was because the knife created more pain, more terror, more grisly wounds, and overall, involved more cruelty, which she delighted in. It took more of her time and energy to kill him with a knife than it would have to kill him with a gun, and it allowed her to revel in, savor, and indulge in the killing. It took a lot of strength and endurance to create that many stab wounds, many of them deep, in such a short period of time. Using the knife was satisfying, and it met her needs to butcher him viciously.
That's what Jodi Arias wanted – the sweet, sweet pleasure of stabbing him in the heart, literally and figuratively, over and over and over….as many times as she had to, and as many times as she could. Notice most of the stab wounds on his back are centered, as are most on his front torso, aka in the heart area, including the 3-4″ deep stab wound very close to his heart. The photo that shows him holding his hands over his heart was 'directed' by Jodi-The-Murdering-Photographer, and was for her sick pleasure. She told him to hold his hands over his heart just before she stuck the knife in.
Desperately trying to escape, by the time Travis made it to the bedroom area Jodi realized she had to end it because he was too close to making it out, so she slit his throat. She let him get that far because she wanted to prolong the agony she was causing him, stabbing him all along the way down the hall, because it was incredibly satisfying for her. This is partly why she appears so happy-go-lucky and unburdened in those crazy TV interviews – committing the murder so viciously was like taking a massive weight off her back.
And then she shot him in the head just for good measure. Once she got all her needs met (i.e., stabstabstabstabslitstabstabslitstabstab, etc.), she simply shot him once to make sure he was dead.
The gunshot wound is non-personal, and was likely emotionally unimportant for her. All of the stab wounds are very, very personal. Some would say "intimate", even.

Troon, Scotland
The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews has rejected using PGA European Tour and PGA Tour scorers for this year's British Open at Royal Troon, despite strong lobbying from players hoping to avoid a repeat of the Mark Roe incident at Royal St. George's in 2003.
Roe was disqualified last year following the third round after not exchanging scorecards with playing companion Jesper Parnevik. Roe shot a 4-under-par 67 and was two strokes off the lead through 54 holes, but was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.
Roe was one of a number of players who wanted to see experienced scorers from the PGA European Tour and PGA Tour at this year's British Open. The R&A, however, will not go that route.
"It's fair to say that we felt that the R&A should be capable of dealing with their own scoring," said David Pepper, chairman of the championship committee.
R&A secretary Peter Dawson admitted the organization had discussions with the PGA European Tour about giving them greater involvement in scoring, but ultimately decided against it.
"In our discussions with the European Tour about scoring area difficulties and pressures, we came to the conclusion that what happened at the (British) Open could easily have happened on the Tour," Dawson said. "It happened to Padraig Harrington at The Belfry (2000 B&H International Open). So it's human error, but we're satisfied that the improvements we are making will make such an occurrence less likely. There is no way of totally eliminating it but it will be less likely."
The scoring officials at Royal St. George's last year were volunteer members from the club. There still will be club volunteers from Royal Troon in the scorer's hut this year, but they will play a minor role.
Players at this year's British Open will deal directly with R&A officials, who will handle all scorecards at this year's tournament.
"We've decided that it is probably unfair to subject members of the home club to what you might call the front line of the players letting off steam in the reporters hut," Pepper said. "We've expanded our R&A reporters from two to five and have recruited a few of our more numerate younger members.
"We've reorganized the scoring hut so that there will be a front and a back room, and the players will deal only with two R&A officials in the front."
Another new innovation is that players will be able to check their cards against an official computer before they sign and leave the scoring tent.
The rule that disqualified Roe, 6-6d (wrong score for hole), has not been changed, although Pepper and Dawson acknowledged the R&A and U.S. Golf Association have discussed the rule. It cannot be changed, however, until 2008, because the rules are only amended every four years.
The R&A also appeared to take a softer stance on allowing women to play in the Open. Tournament rules stipulate that only men can play in the championship. Dawson conceded, however, that the R&A would have to take a serious look at its criteria should, say, Michelle Wie gain one of the qualifying spots from either the Western Open or John Deere Classic.
"If she (Michelle Wie) were to qualify then the championship committee would have to look at it," Dawson said.
This year's championship will have a total prize fund of £4 million (approximately $7.2 million), an increase of £100,000 ($179,000) from last year. This year's winner will take home £720,000 ($1.29 million), an increase of £20,000 ($36,000) from 2003.
The Troon layout has been extended by 96 yards since the tournament was last held here in 1997, when Justin Leonard won. The biggest change comes at the 11th, which has been extended from 463 to 490 yards. However, it remains a par 4, and should rank as the toughest hole on the course since it normally plays into the prevailing wind. Par remains at 71.

OTTAWA — The federal Liberals are under pressure to help the wheels of justice spin a little faster, with some provinces asking for the right to do away with preliminary inquiries as a way to tackle the backlogs in the courts.
"We've got a challenge that has been given to us by the Supreme Court of Canada," Ontario Justice Minister Yasir Naqvi said in an interview.
"They have said there is complacency within the system, and bold reforms are needed."
Naqvi and other provincial and territorial justice ministers are gathering Friday in Gatineau, Que., for an emergency meeting with their federal counterpart, Jody Wilson-Raybould, on tackling delays in the criminal courts.
While it is not a new problem, finding a solution has become urgent.
The Supreme Court issued a groundbreaking decision last summer, R. v. Jordan, that set out a new framework for determining whether a criminal trial has been unreasonably delayed, citing a "culture of complacency" for contributing to the problem.
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms says someone charged with an offence has the right to have their case tried within a reasonable amount of time. In a 5-4 decision, the high court defined that period as 18 months for provincial courts and 30 months for superior courts.
There is room for exceptions, and the ruling came with a transitional measure for cases already in the system, but the dissenting minority argued the new time limits could lead to thousands of prosecutions being tossed out.
In a letter to Montreal newspaper Le Devoir, Wilson-Raybould noted the provinces are responsible for the administration of justice, handing 99 per cent of criminal cases.
"While I am currently reviewing our criminal justice system, I cannot act alone to solve the issue of delays," she wrote.
Some provinces, including Ontario and Manitoba, will urge the federal Liberals to change the Criminal Code to either curtail or eliminate the use of preliminary inquiries, which take place in certain serious cases to determine if there is enough evidence for a matter to go to trial.
"I think for the most part, the provinces recognize the status quo isn't an option and we need those changes to take place," Manitoba Justice Minister Heather Stefanson said.
That province wants to bring in a four-year pilot project to replace preliminary inquiries with an out-of-court discovery process, or, for less serious cases, do away with them altogether, but they need Ottawa to bring in legislation to let them do it.
The idea is a controversial one.
The Canadian Bar Association issued a letter to all 13 justice ministers Thursday to make the case against it.
"We believe that any evidence linking court delays to the preliminary inquiry is speculative at best," Rene Basque, the CBA president, wrote.
"Even when preliminary inquiries do not result in early resolution of dismissal of a case, as they frequently do, our experience is that they significantly reduce the time needed in superior courts."
According to Statistics Canada, preliminary inquiries took place in less than three per cent of cases in the adult criminal court system in 2014-15, and 81 per cent of those cases were completed within a 30-month period.
James Pickard, president of the Alberta Crown Attorneys' Association, said he is in favour of cutting back on preliminary inquiries, but would like to see more data on how that would save time in the courts.
Pickard said the issue is complicated, but most of it boils down to the need for more resources.
"There is a shortage of judges. There is a shortage of clerks. There is a shortage of prosecutors. Legal aid could use more money," he said.
Quebec agrees that reforming preliminary inquiries is part of the solution, but is also pressuring the federal government to appoint new judges.
"We need the federal government as a partner," said Isabelle Marier-St-Onge, a spokeswoman for Quebec Justice Minister Stephanie Vallee.
Eric Gottardi, one of the defence lawyers in R. v. Jordan, said the problem goes far beyond empty seats.
"If they were all filled tomorrow, it's not like the delay problem would disappear in the next three months," he said.
The higher number of mandatory minimum sentences the previous Conservative government brought in contributed to the problem, he said, as it took away a lot of discretion from both judges and prosecutors to find ways to divert trials.
"I think in promising to take a more comprehensive look at the criminal justice system and sentencing in general, maybe (the federal Liberals) didn't realize how big a problem it was and how far-reaching that would have to be," Gottardi said.
"It is a huge job and that may in fact be slowing them down," added Gottardi.

Earlier this month, we got word that The Walking Dead's Jon Bernthal would play The Punisher in season two of Marvel's Daredevil. With the Marvel Universe's deadliest "hero" coming to Hell's Kitchen, it was only a matter of time until he wound up butting heads with Ol' Hornhead. But how big a role will Frank Castle play? Jessica Chobot has the exclusive on today's Nerdist News!
According to our source, newly appointed co-showrunner Marco Ramirez is referring to season two as "Daredevil vs. the Punisher." We'll now take a brief hiatus while you high five everyone in the room. All done? Good! Now obviously we knew that Daredevil and the Punisher would wind up at each other's throats, but this news makes it seem like the Punisher could be the big bad for the entire second season. Or will he?
Given that the first season ends with — spoiler alert — Matt Murdock turning Kingpin into the police and pledging not to kill in the name of justice, it's natural that he would be at odds with the Punisher's take-no-prisoners style of vigilante justice. However, the title of "Daredevil vs. the Punisher" is more of a philosophical battle that'll take place over the season. With Kingpin out of the picture, a power vacuum will be created that the city's villainous vermin will try and fill. With all these termites crawling out of the woodwork, the Punisher will likely emerge and try to exterminate them. However, as the self-appointed protector of Hell's Kitchen, Daredevil is going to have to put a stop to that.
So if the Punisher isn't the big bad, then who is? With it all but confirmed that Bullseye and Elektra will be appearing in the show's second season, one can easily envision a scenario in which Matt Murdock falls for Elektra only to see her murdered by Bullseye (as per usual). This could prompt Daredevil and the Punisher to team up to take down the assassin-for-hire and create a source of friction between the two heroes in the process. And who hired Bullseye to do the dirty deed? Kingpin, probably. Hell, he's done a lot worse from behind bars. Granted, this part is speculation, but after hearing Ramirez's remarks, it's hard not to let the brain run wild. In the meantime, I would suggest re-reading Daredevil vs. Punisher: Means & Ends.
Thanks for watching today's show! Don't miss the latest episode of Because Science, and let us know in the comments below who else you'd like to see in season two of Daredevil.

Our integrated approach allows parents and teachers to be more involved and participate more actively in the education and treatment process.
View our range of services below:

Children's Outpatient Evaluation and Counseling
COMHAR offers outpatient evaluation and counseling for youth beginning at age 5. Services include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, family therapy, individual and group therapy for children, all with heavy focus on building familial strength and community support. Services are available both for children with existing behavioral health diagnoses and for those whose families want them to be assessed.
For more information, call COMHAR Central Registration at 267-861-4382 or
Multidisciplinary Evaluation (MDE)
The Multidisciplinary Evaluation (MDE) program is designed for families of children up to age 3 who are concerned about their child's development. A trained cognitive specialist will work to identify any difficulties, using a play-based assessment and the parent's own observations to evaluate the child's main areas of development. The assessment can be done at the child's home or at a daycare location. Families will receive feedback immediately following the session, and a type-written report shortly thereafter in clear, non-technical wording. COMHAR will refer the child for any ongoing services he or she is eligible for.
To refer a child who is newborn to 3 years old, please contact the Philadelphia Infant Toddler Early Intervention program at 215 685-4646.

Families can sign up for BHRS by calling 215-427-5750, via e-mail or by referral from a social worker.
School Therapeutic Services (STS)
School Therapeutic Services (STS) offers children grades K through 8 an alternative to traditional Therapeutic Staff Support (TSS) services in the school setting. The goals of STS are to provide youth with interventions that support academic learning and to prevent the child from going into crisis while at school. Treatment is done in partnership with parents and school leadership, with the highest priority placed on engaging the family in the process. This service can be requested by the family, school staff, or through district's Comprehensive Student Assistance Process (CSAP).
The child must be eligible for medical assistance and will be evaluated by licensed psychologist or physician to determine medical necessity.
Summer Therapeutic Camps (STC)
COMHAR provides therapeutic support at six different camp sites consisting of a Therapeutic Support Services Worker, who works with a group of up to 3 children and a Lead Clinician who provides daily support to the camp, your child, and the TSS working with him or her. Our staff are committed to making sure that each child has a fulfilling summer while doing our best to integrate each child into the total camp experience.

We're defining economic failure down
Two phrases that Daniel Patrick Moynihan put into America's political lexicon two decades ago are increasingly pertinent. They explain the insufficient dismay about recent economic numbers.
Moynihan said that when deviant behaviors – e.g., violent crime, or births to unmarried women – reach a certain level, society soothes itself by "defining deviancy down." It de-stigmatizes the behaviors by declaring them normal. And sometimes, Moynihan said, social problems are the result of "iatrogenic government." In medicine, an iatrogenic ailment is inadvertently induced by a physician or medicine; in social policy, iatrogenic problems are caused by government.
When the economy grew by just 2.6 percent in 2014's fourth quarter, The New York Times headline cheerfully said "Economy Pulls Ahead." The story said the U.S. economy is "an island of relative strength" in a world facing "renewed torpor and turmoil." This was defining failure down.
The Wall Street Journal said "U.S. Economy Hits Speed Bumps," as though speedy growth had been normal for a while. The speeding had consisted of one quarter (2014's third) of 5 percent growth. But the economy had gone 43 consecutive quarters without 5 percent growth, the longest such period since the government began keeping the pertinent records in 1947.
There also was unmerited triumphalism about November's job growth of 353,000. This was just the fifth month of 300,000-plus growth in the 68 months since the sluggish recovery began in June 2009. In the 1960s, there were nine months of 300,000-plus job creation – and at its highest, in 1969, the nation's population was nearly 118 million smaller than today's. In the 1980s, there were 23 months of 300,000-plus jobs, and the nation's population in 1989 was 73 million smaller than today's 320 million.
By the time – April 2014 – the economy returned to the number of jobs it had before the recession began in December 2007, there were 15 million more Americans. Nicole Gelinas writes in the Manhattan Institute's City Journal: "A healthy economy should add 200,000 new jobs every month, even when it's not recovering from a recession. By that standard, America should have 133 million people working in the private sector right now, not 118.4 million."
The lingering economic anemia is astonishing, given plummeting energy prices. To a considerable extent, the anemia is an iatrogenic social ailment, induced by government behavior. The business burdens and uncertainties created by the Affordable Care Act are just part of the Obama administration's regulatory mania (3,659 new regulations finalized in 2013 and another 2,594 proposed, according to Wayne Crews of the Competitive Enterprise Institute).
That the employment picture is not worse might owe much to the end of an iatrogenic policy. The Economist reports that during the recession, unemployment benefits were extended from 26 weeks for most workers to an average of 53 weeks, and 73 weeks in three states. Then in December 2013 Republicans blocked reauthorization of Emergency Unemployment Compensation.
Barack Obama's plan to tax the earnings from parents' "529" college savings plans lived just long enough to indicate why some progressives perhaps prefer slow rather than rapid economic growth. Rapid growth reduces the appeal of redistributive policies and the need for the bitter, jostling, divisive politics that advance such policies. The 529s help enable families to achieve self-sufficiency.
The progressive project of maximizing the number of people dependent on government is also aided by the acid of insecurity that grows rapidly when the economy does not. Anxious and disappointed people are susceptible to progressives' blandishments about the political allocation of wealth and opportunity – "free" this and that. By making slow growth normal, iatrogenic government serves the progressive program of defining economic failure down.

Proc Am Thorac Soc. 2008 Dec 1;5(8):834-41. Abstract: Cigarette smoke contributes to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) pathogenesis through unknown mechanisms. Whole-genome gene-expression studies of airway and lung tissue from COPD patients provide molecular insights into disease pathogenesis. This review integrates the few high-throughput gene expression studies that have been conducted on lung tissue and airway samples from smokers with COPD. Computationally comparing several lung tissue studies, we find that the studies suggest fundamental similarities and identify common biological processes underlying COPD. Additional lung tissue and airway gene-expression studies are warranted, and we present a roadmap for how such studies could lead to clinically relevant tools that would impact COPD management.

و رفعنا لک ذکرک محمدﷺ
Jawed Anwar
There are several deeds and sins of leaders and people;
that extremely displease God,
that invite anger of God,
that invite wrath of God,
that invite the vengeance.
God brought torment to the nations to correct them. It is another way of showing His love and mercy. God provides the opportunity to repent and ask forgiveness so that human beings may be successful in the life after death.
As a servant of God, we know the reasons for His wrath. He conveyed the message through His book and His Messenger ﷺ. That is our source of knowledge.
Canada (and many other developed countries) indulged in two serious sins/crimes against humanity;
In these two matters, God's wrath comes fast and severe; economies of nations collapse, and it destroys societies.
God declares war against those who indulge in interest-based economic system and transactions.
(Qur'an: 2:278) Believers! Have fear of Allah and give up all outstanding interest if you do truly believe.
(Qur'an: 2:279) But if you fail to do so, then be warned of war from Allah and His Messenger. If you repent even now, you have the right of the return of your capital; neither will you do wrong nor will you be wronged.
(Qur'an 2:280) But if the debtor is in straitened circumstance, let him have respite until the time of ease; and whatever you remit by way of charity is better for you, if only you know.
Please check the following article for a better understanding of why interest-based transactions invite the wrath of God.
Our Economic Policy: Spending, Charity, and Interest-Free
There was one unfortunate nation of Lut (Lot, A. S.) who first transgresses on this matter. Lut tried his best to save his nation from this evil endemic/pandemic.
"For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." And his people gave no answer but this: they said, "Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!" But we saved him and his family, except his wife: she was of those who legged behind. And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime!" Qur'an 2:280-284
Please check the following articles;
Can we repent even after COVID's destruction? COVID already forced to let no interest (rate zero) and separate/isolate men and women from gender and sexual misbehaviour.
Can our Prime Minister, his ministers, all MPs, and Senators repent?
Can our Premiers, MPPs of all provinces and territories repent?
Are we ready to fix the laws of the land to ban these two economic and social evils?
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms starts with the following golden words;
"Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law……"
If we really believe in the supremacy of God, then why we don't obey God?
COVID, a creature of God, is already here to enforce it.
Now, only repentance, asking forgiveness from God, and then correcting ourselves according to His Will, His Guidance, are the way of the protection.
COVID might go soon, but it may return if we don't repent now.
Mahmud Shiblee
Amazing and candid reflection of the Holy book in your writing. The beauty here is that God asks us to adhere to His love, compassion and mercy through repentance which ensures the success of humanity in this life and hereafter. With finance, the idea is if you have more money you can gain more sitting on the beach at the expense of someone else's sweat. So the love and compassion are gone there. On the other hand, how do we foresee a generation if we all become LGBT? Both are caught by a microscopic Covid-19 to stay home, rethink and re-evaluate what we do.
Tahsin Balkhi
This is a really good effort to promote Islam and the right direction towards Islam. I appreciate that you continue to guide people on the right path. I always forward your articles to family and friends. I make dua that God gives you the strength to continue writing and I pray for your health.
Mohammed Fazil Ali
May Allah swt reward you for addressing ruling elite class this moment and reminding them to turn back to the creator of mankind and repent from open violation of Devine laws of our beloved creator.
May Allah forgive His best creature ( human being ) and enable us to follow the right path. Aameen

Are you reading this on your phone? That's not surprising – according to a recent Litmus study, 51% of emails are opened on a mobile device.
There's a huge debate out there over Responsive vs. Adaptive vs. Fluid design, and which approach best meets the need for the myriad devices in today's marketplace. You can learn more about the issue here.
In the meantime, there are several things you can do to your email designs right this minute before you spend time and money bringing in someone to code new templates for you.
These are:
1) Go skinny – slim down to 550px or less to accommodate most devices and reduce scrolling.
2) Use larger fonts – different email management systems render fonts differently, so test and see what size is easiest to read on the smallest screens. Optimize design for that.
3) Shorten the "from" name – 32 characters or less.
4) Shorten your subject lines – 44 characters or less.
5) Reduce image size – use smaller files for faster loading.
6) Make your call-to-action easy to touch – this means bigger buttons or photo CTAs, not tiny links.
Need help? Contact PS Digital today for a free consultation. We'd love to hear about your email issues and how we might help.

American Life in Poetry
by Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate, 2004-2006
Poems of simple pleasure, poems of quiet celebration, well, they aren't anything like those poems we were asked to wrestle with in high school, our teachers insisting that we get a headlock on the meaning. This one by Dale Ritterbusch of Wisconsin is more my cup of tea.
Green Tea
There is this tea
I have sometimes,
Pan Long Ying Hao,
so tightly curled
it looks like tiny roots
gnarled, a greenish-gray.
When it steeps, it opens
the way you woke this morning,
stretching, your hands behind
your head, back arched,
toes pointing, a smile steeped
in ceremony, a celebration,
the reaching of your arms.

If your retirement goal is 65 and 60 is just around the corner, it's time for some final tweaks to your comprehensive financial plan. You've spent most of a lifetime accumulating assets; inflation, taxes and market volatility can quickly shrink the relative strength of your asset base to generate the income you need. Moreover, Americans are living longer, and many are concerned about outliving their retirement savings. In the mix, studies show that you or your spouse stand a 40% chance of entering a long term care facility after age 65. Senior Financial Planners, Mortgage Specialists and Realtors look at all of these factors as a whole to help you set realistic goals and mitigate the risks associated with retirement.
