Fontana di Trevi
The Trevi Fountain, featured in a number of notable films and beloved by tourists, was built in its present form the 18th century. Its roots, however, go back to imperial Rome. Legend holds that in 19 BC thirsty Roman soldiers were guided by a young girl to a source of pure water thirteen kilometres from the city of Rome. The discovery of the source led Augustus to commission the construction of a 22 km aqueduct leading into the city, which was named Aqua Virgo, or Virgin Waters, in honor of the legendary young girl. The aqueduct served the hot Baths of Agrippa, and Rome, for over four hundred years.

As he said, almost 16 thousand Afghan students have graduated from Iranian schools and universities and voiced Iran's readiness to offer scholarship to talented Afghan students.
"Currently, 900 students are studying at the Islamic Azad University in Kabul," Velayati said. "We are ready to offer scholarships to Afghan citizens who are talented and wish to have higher education."
According to Velayati, the Islamic Azad University has branches in Russia, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and a number of European countries. "We would like to particularly expand our branches in regional countries where we share more commonalities," he added.
Khwaja Omari also noted that Afghanistan is ready to expand and develop academic relations with Iran, "We hope that Islamic Azad University will cooperate academically with us as well. For this end, we need closer cooperation with the Islamic Azad University."

United Airlines is launching a 15 hour nonstop flight from San Francisco to Singapore from June.
This will be the first ever direct route connecting the two cities and the only current nonstop flight from the US to Singapore.

Overview of Mexico
By 2020 Mexico is widely projected to be a top 10 economy. (Source Euromonitor International ). Mexico is expected to be the 6th largest trading nation in the world by 2050.
Mexico is a politically stable country with prudent management of its economy. It has a population of 125 million with 46% of the population under 25 years of age (source cia.gov)
Mexico's main export commodities are manufactured goods, oil and oil products, silver, fruits, vegetables, coffee, cotton
Mexico's main import commodities are metalworking machines, steel mill products, and agricultural machinery, and electrical equipment, automobile parts for assembly and repair, aircraft, aircraft parts
Mexico is a favourite for foreign direct investment attraction, as companies seek to nearshore operations to the world's largest economy, the United States. Its relationship with the US turns over at US$1 million a minute. It is responsible for two-thirds of the region's advanced manufactured exports and is a world-class producer of minerals, petroleum and agricultural products.
Mexico's Business culture
Business in Mexico is built on relationships. It is often expected that a social relation is required to be established in order to develop a business relationship. However it is worth noting that commercial reasons will supersede the social relationship when a business relationship is developed.
Spanish is the language of choice when negotiations are conducted.
Mexico's approach to business is increasingly sophisticated. This is a reflection of Mexico's extensive agenda for economic reform, its maturing trade relationships (especially as a result of NAFTA, but also the EU and the Pacific Alliance) and the general rise in the education attainment levels.
Mexico accounted for 35% of the entire region's foreign direct investment in 2015.
Setting up in Mexico
For companies seeking to create a presence in Mexico by using an agent or distributor, this will require patience and work. Though there may be many qualified candidates, companies should use high standards in selecting an agent or distributor.
Most Mexican firms usually distribute in local areas, foreign companies should consider appointing representatives in multiples cities to broaden the distribution, and take caution if considering an exclusive, national agreement. Providing the appropriate training, marketing support, samples, product support, and timely supply of spare parts is critical for success.
Many companies use a distributor and/or a retailer to distribute their products in Mexico. This channel can be used to distribute products in various regions or to distribute to several lines of business. Usually a sales agent is a freelancer; however, some Mexican firms are interested in serving as sales agents for foreign companies. This channel can be efficient for reaching smaller cities or more remote locations.
The approach to setting up in market will differ significantly according to the sector(s) in which your company operates.
Banking and Finance
Mexico's commercial banks offer a full spectrum of services within one institution. These services range from offering deposits accounts, consumer and commercial lending, corporate finance, and the operation of trust and mutual funds, to foreign exchange and money market trading.
Tariffs and Regulations
Mexican Tariffs and duty rates are constantly revised and are subject to change without notice. For further information please visit the
Tariffs and non-tariff barriers
Mexican import tariff controls have been significantly eased in recent years. Most products no longer require prior import permits and import duties & taxes have also been reduced. Duties are generally assessed based on the transaction value of the products imported into Mexico.
Mexico is also a member of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). This agreement was signed in February 2016 but has not yet entered into force. Mexico is an active member of a number of trade multilateral organisations, including the WTO, APEC, OCDE and ALADI. (Source: ProMexico).
Non-tariff barriers
For companies wishing to export products into Mexico, the product labels are required to be in Spanish. The labels are to contain information such as the contents of the product, name and country of origin of the producer, and information about the importer, port of entry, etc.
All imported merchandise should meet minimum sanitary and safety standards and many products must also comply with the Mexican Standards of Quality, referred to as Mexican Official Norms (NOM).
Mexican Regulations stipulate that the minimum required information to be included on labels is:
- description of the goods
- importer's name and address
- warnings or precautionary information in the case of hazardous products
- instructions for use and storage
- Expiration date (if applicable).
Certain imports and exports are also subject to regulations by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT).
Some imported products must receive sanitary or phytosanitary authorisations issued by the Ministry of Health (MH). There are also rules establishing the classification of goods whose importation is subject to regulation by the Commission for the Control of Pesticides, Fertilisers and Toxic Substances. (Source: PWC, Doing Business in Mexico, January 2015).
Product certification, labelling and packaging
Special certificates
Mexican Authorities wants the importer to re-label the products in Spanish and include the relevant information about the contents name and country of origin of the producer and information about the import, port of entry, etc. All imported merchandise should meet minimum sanitary and safety standards.
A wide variety of products must comply with the Mexican Standards of Quality, referred to as Mexican Official Norms (NOM). Certain imports and exports are subject to regulations by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT). Some imported products must receive sanitary or phytosanitary authorisations issued by the Ministry of Health. There are also rules establishing the classification of goods whose importation is subject to regulation by the Commission for the Control of Pesticides, Fertilizers and Toxic Substances. (Source: PWC, Doing Business in Mexico, January 2015).
Methods of quoting and payment
Quoting and payment terms vary dependant on the industry sector and customer. Companies should scrutinise all payment terms as they can differ markedly. There have been recent examples where state-owned enterprises have made decisions to alter payment terms to as much as 180 days without prior consultation.
Documentary & Clearance Requirements
Essential customs information and procedures to consider.
Documentation required:
- waybill
- commercial invoice with value breakdown
- instructions letter
- import and broker licence
- Specific requirements according to commodity code for goods.
Customs process:
- clearance process time depends on commodity code
- The importer must be a registered person or legal entity.
Duties and taxes for formal entry clearance:
- customs fees
- Import duties will depend on the HS code (Harmonized Tariff Code) of the product
- Customs Broker fee (depends on shipment value).
All commercial invoices must meet the following requirements:
- tax ID for the importer
- full goods description and Harmonized System Code (HS) – if shipment origin is a Mercosur country it must include the Mercosur Common Nomenclature number (NCM)
- merchandise unit cost, quantity and currency
- Applicable incoterms used.

Business risks
It is recommended that all companies wishing to do business in Mexico are advised to spend time investigating the market, obtain professional advice where appropriate and thoroughly investigate the issues in entering the market and before establishing business relationships.
Companies wishing to operate in Mexico should commit to the highest level of corporate behaviour and familiarise themselves with the laws of their country and the penalties pertaining to bribery of foreign officials.
Intellectual property protection
The 1991 Industry Property Law covers intellectual property. This law regulates, amongst other things, patents, trademarks, industrial designs, licenses, slogans, franchises, etc.
It is not necessary to submit for prior approval and registration contracts for the use of patents, trademarks or trade names or for providing technical assistance or know-how.
However, for due protection of patents, trademarks and copyrights, license agreements for these should be registered with the proper Mexican authorities, particularly to ensure enforceability vis-a-vis third parties. (Source: PwC Mexico – Doing Business in Mexico 2015).
Dispute resolution
The Mexican legal system is a written law based on the Roman or civil law tradition. Mexico is a federal country and its legal system has federal, as well as local laws, for each of the 31 states and for the Federal District (Mexico City, and Federal District, or DF) that forms the country.
The Mexican legal system is integrated by federal laws (i.e. Commercial Code, Federal Code of Civil Procedures and Federal Civil Code) and by local laws of each of the Mexican states (i.e. Civil Code for the Federal District and Code of Civil Procedures for the Federal District).
The scope of local laws is limited to the state that enacted them, and the scope of federal laws applies to all Mexican states, including the Federal District. However, it will be necessary to address the nature of the act in question and the specific area of law to determine whether it is a local or a federal matter (i.e. the Commercial Code, which is a federal law, contains substantive and procedural rules; it regulates commercial acts in general and establishes the rules governing the commercial court proceedings, which can be processed by local courts [ordinary] and/or federal courts because, under Mexico's Constitution, there is concurrent jurisdiction between local and federal courts with respect to disputes involving the application of the Commercial Code).

Forbes magazine this month put its stamp of approval on on L.A.'s role as one of the world's foremost providers of popular culture.
The problem is that the publication didn't give us nearly enough credit.
Forbes ranked the 50 largest American metropolitan areas based on how well locals did with crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter. The issue with that became pretty obvious when we saw which city came in first place on this list of "America's Most Creative Cities:"
San Francisco topped the ranking. Its citizens did well with such crowdfunding sites as Bandcamp (1st place), ReverbNation (2nd), Kickstarter (1st) and Indiegogo (4th).
Half of those companies are based in Northern California (Kickstarter is based in New York and ReverbNation is based in North Carolina), where crowdfunding is a much more integrated part of the tech and creative scenes than it is in other cities.
So, if you ask us, San Francisco had a built-in advantage.
If Forbes gave L.A. a similar head start it would have based these rankings based on how many millionaire douchebags invested in projects for producer credit.
In any case, we made number 7 on this list, beat out by the likes of Nashville (number 3), New York (5) and Portland (6). (Yeah, right!).
Consolation prize: Forbes said we ranked 2nd in Indiegogo fundraising.

You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Here's how the magazine came up with its list, according to its own explainer:
To find America's Most Creative cities, we started with America's 50 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and Metropolitan Divisions (MSADs), home to half the U.S. population. Then we ranked these places based on four metrics: activity per capita on project-funding platforms Kickstarter and Indiegogo and music sites Bandcamp and ReverbNation. The goal was to capture organic creativity, since many artistic and musical types have "day jobs" outside of creative pursuits.

Not too many people know about the sinking of the Leopoldville on Dec. 24, 1944 in the English Channel and the cover-up that followed. I have written about it on my blog before and it is very moving to read some of the comments left on those posts, many of them from the relatives of the survivors or the relatives of the men who died from this ship. http://georgiagirlwithanenglishheart.blogspot.com/2012/01/leopoldville-disaster.html
(There, you should be able to click on that link to see my Leopoldville post.)
Allan Andrade wrote a book, "S.S. Leopoldville Disaster Dec 24, 1944" with lists of all the survivors that he could find.
He later added new material with photographs along with a revised list of the survivors in a book entitled "Leopoldville: A Tragedy Too Long Secret". I have read both of these books. If you click on this link: http://leopoldville.org/ you will see a list of all the men who died along with drawings by Richard Rockwell, depicting the tragedy.
How did I find out about it? When I worked as a travel agent, one of the army veterans came in to arrange his military reunion and told me that he had survived the sinking of the Leopoldville and that I wouldn't have heard about it because it had been kept top secret for over 50 years. That army vet's name was W. S. Connor. He told me that there was a book about it but somehow, his name was not listed as one of the survivors. The author, Allen Andrade, was kind enough to inform me that Mr. Connor's name was now listed in his second book and I am very grateful that this is so.
"Forgotten by many, remembered by few", that is the quote from Clive Clessler about this tragedy...you may read an article about it here.
In Allen Andrade's introduction to his book, he tells us that in research for a book he was planning to write he found that in one American business, over 700 employees served in the military during World War II. (The Oneida Company). Thirty two of them were killed. One of them, was an orphan who celebrated his 20th birthday on board the Leopoldville on Dec. 1, 1944. He perished in the tragedy. His name was Staff Sergeant Benjamin J. Blaskowski and it is to his memory that this book is dedicated.
|The ship was torpedoed and sank just five miles off the coast of Cherbourg, France.

We have nationally recognized attorneys with firsthand knowledge of the long term care industry, and we use a team approach that matches the way health care providers do business.
Firsthand Experience
The Benesch Long Term Care Team boasts firsthand experience in the long-term care field, which gives us an entrepreneurial view of your business. For instance, partner Janet Feldkamp is a registered nursed, former nursing home administrator and former nursing director who also practiced in long term care facilities. We not only know about the legal challenges in your business, but we also know from experience the clinical issues you contend with every day.
From matters relating to licensure and Medicare and Medicaid certification to certificates of need, survey and enforcement, and reimbursement and compliance matters, Benesch has done it all. Our attorneys are well-versed in federal and state regulations and familiar with for-profit and not-for-profit operating environments. We have built strong relationships with health insurance companies, medical suppliers and state and federal regulators. The firm also assists long term care clients in acquisitions, dispositions, restructuring and reorganizations, financing, development and construction, and litigation.
Our attorneys have built a national reputation in the long term care field, and our expertise is often sought out by both the legal community and the industries we serve. Our attorneys have been on the legal committees of the American Health Care Association and the American Association for Homes and Services for the Aging, and have chaired of the Long Term Care Program of the American Health Lawyers Association. Our active trade association involvement enables us to bring a national perspective on long term care matters to your organization.
A Proven Consultant Team
When you take the Long Term Care Team's extensive experience and add a highly functional team approach, you get consultants who offer personalized service. As explained by Janet Feldkamp, "The way we practice law is in many ways parallel to the way good health care providers practice health care: by offering a team approach. Like our clients, we have an interdisciplinary team, in which we call in the specialized expertise of certain attorneys as dictated by the client's situation." Using this approach, our attorneys offer clients customized services, from in-service training for nurses designed to help them deal with the ever-mounting paperwork requirements to training on how to prevent and spot patient abuse and neglect before it's flagged by a state surveyor.
Our team is fully aware of the many challenges in the long term care industry. In the midst of deciding how to extend the life of your aging facilities and how to diversify to maintain the bottom line, you contend with increasing regulatory oversight, mounting liability and criminalization cases and greater scrutiny over quality of care. Given these challenges, many of our clients ask our attorneys to come to their long-term care facilities to proactively identify any potential care or compliance issues and to recommend ways to resolve those issues as quickly as possible. Our experience in the long-term care field enables our attorneys to provide these exceptional consultant services.
The Long Term Care Team is well-equipped to provide clients with insight into how industry changes could impact their business. Our valuable foresight allows you to make informed decisions on how to prepare and position your long-term care practice for the future. In addition, our registered lobbyists also represent and advocate on behalf of clients to provide legislators, owners and administrators the information they need to establish laws and regulations that are relevant and not overly burdensome.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce will miss the team's upcoming two-game road trip with a concussion.
Coach Bill Peters announced Pesce's condition Wednesday, one day after the defenseman was struck in the head by a puck during practice.
Pesce is in the concussion protocol and will not travel on the trip. Carolina plays at Colorado on Thursday night and at Arizona two nights later.
The 22-year-old defenseman signed a six-year contract extension worth roughly $24 million that goes into effect next season and runs through 2023-24. He skated in all 82 games last season and shared the team lead with a plus-minus rating of plus-23.

Finding a good home is necessary for you to feel safe and secure. Everybody wants to live in an excellent neighbourhood, clean surroundings and with friendly neighbours. When you are searching for a house in any area, you need the help of real estate agents. An agent will keep your preferences in mind and show you real estate properties that fit your budget.
Investing all your savings into building your house or buying a house means you need to find the best-suited house for your family. Real estate agents are familiar with the surroundings of many neighbourhoods. They are well acquainted with neighbours and can help you break the ice with your neighbours. They also have a lot of information about the how a particular area was in the past and how it developed through the years. While buying a house, you need to ask the professionals about a few things and ask for a house inspection to ensure the safety of the building.
Value of property
The value of property changes from one area to another. If you are buying a house at a lower rate, it may because the demand for houses is not high in that area. In fact, a glimpse at your surroundings and neighbours will give you a better picture on how well or bad your investment will turn out. If the agent is showing you a house in a posh locality, you can see that the maintenance of roads is good, the house is spacious and the area is quiet and green. So, keep asking theagents about properties that fit your budget. Most agents also have good networks of building contractors for repairs if that comes necessary.
Consult Pattaya's number 1 real estate agency for the best property for you.

Didn't see that coming – it's simply Suba
There were the early Leone wagons, one of the first crossover or SUV machines, with all-wheel drive for tough tracks and beaches.
There have been the dirt-chewing, rally-winning WRX sedans and hatchbacks and the family-friendly Subaru Forester and Outback in company with the Impreza and SVX.
Since the 1990s, all Subarus, aside from the low-slung BRZ coupe, have been all-wheel drive.
This, plus the Subaru's flat, boxer engines, should mean a better-balanced machine with the centre of gravity lower.
There is a more symmetrical driveline and all-wheel grip adds handling control, on good roads and bad. All this engineering, plus new models with swags of fresh technology, saw Subaru sales across Australia lift 7.6 per cent last year to 43,600 machines. Among showroom heroes in 2015, was the all-new, bigger and sleeker Liberty Outback wagon. The Outback these days has taken a price cut and starts out at a recommended $35,990.
In 2016, this new version also looks better, boasts more cabin space and better on-road handling tuned for Australian conditions and driving tastes.
Now Subaru's EyeSight system is included on every auto Outback and the Vision Assist pack added to Premium and 3.6R versions.
EyeSight includes adaptive cruise control (so a driver doesn't run up the back of a car in front), pre-collision braking, pre-collision braking assist and pre-collision steering assist (monitors helping drivers to stop or minimise accidents), lane departure warning (sometimes annoying on country roads) and front vehicle start alert (waking up drivers when the car ahead moves off).
Subaru's clever system can even interpret brake lights ahead and help the electronic devices keep the Japanese wagons out of trouble.
Vision Assist includes blind spot monitoring, lane change assist and rear cross assist which warns of vehicles coming across your stern when backing out of car spots in place like busy shopping centre car parks.
These two systems should add extra road safety and mean fewer bingles for Outback owners, adding to the Subaru's good road manners, active safety dynamics and seven airbags.
Joining the all-new Outback this season is a revised Subaru Forester.
Smaller and boxier than its big brother, the Forester has a well-earned reputation as a competent tourer and rough road rider.
For 2016 there's been style touches and suspension upgrades to this compact SUV. Among body changes are new front bumpers, grille and taillights.
Inside, it's tidier and quieter than before with thicker door window glass and new sound deadening material.
Ride and handling dynamics are better again, with changes to spring rates and dampers plus rear suspension geometry tweaks. It sits a bit flatter and handling is more neutral than before. There remains the choice of petrol or diesel engines, manual or CVT auto (Constantly Variable Transmission) with Forester prices starting at $29,990 and running through to a decent $47,990. That seems a mighty leap but today many customers are on the hunt for all the bells and whistles.
From entry-level to top-of-the-tree, the Subaru Forester remains a mighty crossover machine - one for all manner of roads and tracks. It may not be the most stylish of SUVs in this class but it is one of the most honest and competent.

The organization that stands behind many of the nation's mortgages is taking broad steps to make home ownership easier for lower-income Americans, particularly recent immigrants and minorities, people involved in the effort said today.
Under the new rules, banks would have more flexibility in lending to people who already owe a considerable amount of money or who cannot afford a down payment equal to 20 percent of the price of a home, the people said. Tuesday Announcement
The change is to be announced on Tuesday by the Federal National Mortgage Association, popularly known as Fannie Mae. Officials at Fannie Mae would not comment on the plan.
President Clinton is tentatively scheduled to attend the announcement. The Administration is urging that loans be more broadly available to poor and lower-middle-income Americans.
In addition to changing its guidelines, Fannie Mae plans a national educational campaign that will seek to teach recent immigrants and minorities how to obtain mortgages. The campaign will be aimed particularly at immigrants in a dozen "gateway" cities where the percentage of home ownership has been declining.Continue reading the main story
The long-term goal is to broaden the economic and ethnic diversity of homeowners. About 70 percent of white households now own their homes, compared with 40 percent of black and Hispanic households. Two Million Excluded
Mortgage experts have estimated that up to two million American households are excluded from buying homes now because of conservative mortgage lending standards. These include Americans with minor blemishes on their credit records, for such things as changing jobs repeatedly or failing to pay utility bills on time. Most mortgage experts assume that even people who fall behind on other bills will struggle to make mortgage payments lest they lose their homes.
"Mortgage-lending criteria have been very conservative, and we have a lot of people who should be creditworthy and have been cut out," said Thomas H. Stanton, a former Fannie Mae lawyer.
It is not clear how many of these households might be covered immediately by Fannie Mae's changes in mortgage guidelines.
Fannie Mae and the much smaller Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, better known as Freddie Mac, are publicly traded enterprises that were created by the Federal Government to help provide more money for mortgages. They have issued or guaranteed securities made up of about $1 trillion worth of mortgages bought from lenders.
Freddie Mac loosened its guidelines for low-income mortgages a few weeks ago. But Deepak Bhargava, the legislative director of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a New Orleans-based group of affordable housing advocates, said that Freddie Mac's guidelines remained more restrictive than Fannie Mae's.
Next week's changes in Fannie Mae's guidelines will probably widen the gap between the two institutions' policies, Mr. Bhargava said. Freddie Mac officials did not return phone calls made to their homes and office this evening. -------------------- Realty Appraisal Shift
WASHINGTON, March 9 (By Bloomberg Business News) -- The Federal Reserve loosened lending regulations today on bank holding companies by requiring fewer appraisals of property involved in real estate loans.
The rules exempt banks from conducting a real estate appraisal for loans of $250,000 or less, raising the threshold from the previous $100,000.
Appraisals on some loans are required by the 1989 Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act, though Congress gave Federal banking agencies the power to set a threshold to exempt smaller loans from the requirements.
Three banking regulators -- the Fed, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency -- proposed raising the threshold to $250,000 last June. The Fed is the only agency so far to approve the proposal.
In its proposal, the Fed staff said raising the threshold would increase the availability of credit and ease the regulatory burden on banks without endangering the safety and soundness of the banking industry.Continue reading the main story

- Be prepared to empty your pockets of loose change, keys and your cell phone. Carry as little in your pockets as possible.
- Have your ID and travel documents in your hand.
- Consider carrying a medical card on hand to discreetly communicate about special needs to security officers. The TSA has a notification card available for free download at www.tsa.gov.
You can talk to a representative through TSA Cares, a toll-free hotline at 1.855.787.2227, to get more information about screening that is relevant to your specific disability or condition.
Grooming Tip from Facebook Member
Jan Kilpatrick, a member of the IETF Facebook Awareness Group, often found her shaky hands to be an obstacle when holding her toothbrush or keeping her razor secure while in the shower. After trial and error, she discovered a new technique that she recently shared on our Facebook page.
Simply place the toothbrush in your hand between the index finger and thumb and put the handle across the inside of the middle and ring finger and then rest it on the pinky finger. "It stays still so much better. It's the little things," Kilpatrick said.

It's hard to know what a pharmacist would have to do to have her licence revoked by the Ontario College of Pharmacists.
Consider the disturbing story of one pharmacist, who was allowed to keep her licence and will be back practicing, in a position of public trust, next year.
Amany Hanna submitted false claims totalling $202,784.55 to the Ontario Drug Benefit Program — paid for by taxpayer dollars — for everything from dispensing drugs to dead patients, to filling prescriptions from a doctor who had died 10 years earlier, to claiming for drugs for a colonoscopy for a patient who had not been prescribed the drugs.
But although she pleaded guilty in 2012 to the criminal charge of fraud over $5,000, the college didn't revoke Hanna's licence despite finding her conduct "disgraceful, dishonourable and unprofessional." Instead it suspended her for 18 months.
Really? If "disgraceful, dishonourable and unprofessional" conduct doesn't merit revoking a licence, what would? Where is the deterrent to that type of behaviour when a pharmacist with a criminal record is allowed to keep her licence?
Considering the college's leniency, it's no wonder that Hanna is one of 107 health-care professionals in fields of practice such as pharmacy, chiropractic, dentistry and optometry who were found guilty of fake billing during the past five years.
As reported by the Star's Kenyon Wallace, almost all of them kept their licences, even in cases like Hanna's that resulted in criminal fraud convictions.
It seems on the face of it that the penalties for breaking the public trust are too lenient. Especially when Hanna was stealing from a tightly stretched health care budget that doesn't include a pharmacare program for the poor.
How distressing, then, that while some patients regularly go without drugs they are prescribed because they can't afford them, Hanna and her husband, who operates another pharmacy, own three cars (two Mercedes and a BMW), two oceanfront condos in Florida, and live in an upscale Willowdale home.
In the end, the Ontario College of Pharmacists should have permanently revoked Hanna's licence. And other regulatory bodies whose members falsely bill our public medical system or other insurance plans should mete out the same penalty.
It's not only the right thing to do; it's the only thing to do to maintain public trust in our health care system.

Microfluidic pillar array sandwich immunofluorescence assay for ocular diagnostics
- 360 Downloads
- Citations
Uveitis and primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) are diseases associated with the invasion of lymphocytes into various regions of the eye, accompanied by expression of inflammatory cytokines. While these diseases are very different in terms of survivability and treatment options they have similar symptoms that make accurate diagnosis challenging. Furthermore, the diagnostic yield with state-of-the-art techniques for cell and cytokine analysis of vitreous and aqueous humor samples is under 20% due to inadequate sensitivity. This paper describes a simple sandwich immunofluorescence assay (sIFA) microfluidic device that is capable of identifying important analytes in ocular biopsies as a potential alternative to current diagnostic approaches. Detection is accomplished by capture of the target molecules on antibody-coated, vertical, oval shaped pillars in a microfluidic device followed by a biotinylated detection antibody and finally florescent avidin for target molecule quantification. Cytokine concentration measurements were carried out on aqueous humor samples from rats with endotoxin-induced uveitis as well as human cataract patients. Results correlated well with conventional protein quantification techniques and additionally, measurements from the human samples surpassed detection limits of current state-of-the-art immunoassay techniques. The single-digit femtomolar range of detection of this sIFA system provides lower limits of detection when compared to traditional techniques and allows for the mapping of the cytokine content of vitreous biopsies with detection limits that have yet to be realized using cost effective microfluidics. Furthermore, the relative simplicity of the device design, fabrication and ability to automate makes it easily translatable from the laboratory to a clinical setting.

I have always been a person that people talk to. I sometimes joke and say that I am a priest as I seem to have strangers confessing their sins to me or their deepest secrets or shameful feelings. Only I don't prescribe Hail Marys or Our Fathers!! Haha. If you are gifted in this way but sometimes feel that you get burdened by other people's problems or you're just not sure how to help, don't worry. I was completely the same and I'm here to share with you some of the things I've learnt that can help!
I haven't always been able to detach myself. It has been something that I have had to learn as I feel things very deeply and react to things, if not outwardly, definitely inwardly, like thinking of ways to help the person or analysing to understand why or re-living or remembering my own experiences that were similar. These were natural responses to me (not necessarily bad, in fact, often times very helpful) but something I felt that I had little control over and sometimes I would have trouble knowing what is my energy and what is the energy of the other person. I felt that I really struggled with boundaries and couldn't choose which things affected me and which ones to block out and felt that I couldn't protect myself from the painful feelings that would be brought to the surface. If you have experienced any kind of abuse, this may exacerbate this. Over the years, I have tried many helpful and unhelpful ways to manage this. Here are some of the helpful ones:
1.Understand that you are a reflector. A mirror. And other people are reflectors too. Reflectors are everywhere. They can be seen in people, in animals, in nature (photo of a lake somewhere in Miami, Gold Coast, Australia).
What is particularly neat about reflectors is they don't necessarily have to say anything. In fact, the best reflectors are completely still and quiet. They provide a looking space where people can"see" things in themselves that they are ready to deal with to move forward. Reflections don't just help you to see some of your traumas, your emotional buttons or deep dark feelings (though often in the counselling room, this is exactly what people would project onto me or bring up), they can also work in positive ways too. Like when you feel "inspired" by someone's story, they reflect back to you your own sense of courage, creativity or bravery. Or when you see a new born baby, you are reminded of your own baby and those feelings of new life, hope and innocence (or the opposite, depending on your birth and baby experiences).
The realisation of being a reflector has really helped me and created a barrier between me and the person/thing that I had been taking so personally before hand so I created this illustration (available in the shop if you like it).
Just like reflective sunglasses reflect back if you look at them, they also protect the wearer from the sensations coming in too and what is going out. My stories, my personal experiences of pain, loss, suffering, anger, shame, are protected, though I can share these if I perceive it to be right and beneficial to do so. Go back to this post if you are not sure of the things you should say at particular times.
2. Listen to your body
Many times the feelings and sensations that are coming up for me are what the person is experiencing too. Though many times, they may not be aware of this. My body helps me to relate and connect and acts like a guide in where to take the conversation to help them to understand and integrate their experiences. To really get in touch with your body and the many sensations and thoughts that it has, it may help you to learn some mindfulness. I am dedicating my entire next post to mindfulness, but as mentioned previously, check out this website for more information and a bunch of resources. I will also be sharing more about Energy in workshops which you can get info about here.
3. "Not my energy"
When I notice that my energy changes around particular people, I have actually found it helpful to tell myself (inwardly or out loud) "this is not my energy". And then give myself an affirmation confirming my own energy.
4. Let go
When the other person is being your reflector and you are relating so deeply that some of your issues are coming up too, do not judge this. This is a beautiful thing and means that your body is ready to let go of some of your traumas and experiences too. Acknowledge them and let them go. Like a kick board being held under water, if you don't let these go, they can burst out in really unhealthy ways so if you need support with this, see the points below or the services here.
5. Energy Exercise
If you have taken on someone else's energy and you just can't seem to shake it off, watch this video of an energy releasing exercise. I find this extremely useful and practice it regularly to reset my energy.
6. Channel the colour silver or white
Silver is a reflective colour just by its nature. It is protective so I like to wear it on my body but if you don't like silver to wear, just find some silver things and bring them into your world. The colour clears and releases any issues you may be holding onto and reflects that clearing to others too for them to clear. Being in between black and white, it represents a balance between light and dark, an intuitive and responsible judgement, taking into account all points of view. Truth. The colour of perception which is totally needed when you are being a reflector. It is also related to the moon, the ebb and flow of the tides and relates to going with the flow, keeping things moving. It is fluid, emotional, sensitive, mysterious, calming and purifying. White is similar but is a great reminder to me to send back light to the person.
7. Find your own reflector and express yourself
This could be a friend or family member that you can chat to, a professional counsellor, or you may like to write in a journal or do some art, play some music. I always carry a journal with me and find expressing my feelings through writing, music and art to be extremely helpful to integrate, understand, let go and move on.
8. Moon gaze
Had to throw this one in given the super moon this week. The moon is a great reflector. There are lots of advantages of moon gazing including increased intuition. Here is a photo I took of the super moon.
9. Be intentional in what you are reflecting
Being someone people open up to, you are seen as trust worthy. Think about what type of values you are showing towards yourself, others and the world as others will be looking to you to learn about themselves and may mimic what you do. I felt this as pressure at times, feeling that I had to have everything perfect, but it doesn't have to be when you focus on values. For example, if respect is a value of yours, show self respect then show others respect and that will reflect to others who will reflect back respect to you. If trust, authenticity and honesty are values of yours, read my post here. More on values later.
10. Say no
I used to feel bad saying no to someone when they needed a listening ear but I don't anymore. You can choose polite ways to say this so it's less offensive such as "I need some quiet thinking time for a bit" or "Now's not the best time for me, can I call you back at another time?" It may hurt people but if they have some things coming up that they need to sort through, there will be other opportunities, other reflectors around that will present themselves. Being gifted with this gift means you get to choose when to use it.
11. Limit negativity
Be mindful of the energy you surround yourself with and limit that which affects you in a negative way. This can include people but also limiting your exposure to the news and current affairs, music or situations.
12. Know yourself
It may be that within your energy you are running something that says that you help others. Though this is a lovely thing, it may also come from hurt or past where you are then attracting needy people. You can clear this and change this through some Energy Clearing sessions.

Lo drove me home from her brothers' new villa, the two of us wearing a second elephant skin of latex wall paint.
We sat in silence, which was new.
Usually tethered and talky, our paired souls settled without a whisper as her hand flicked to the angular stereo controls and Takk baptized us. The San Gabriel air was biting and fresh, miniature stars tracing the hills and shifting in 3D as we wound our way back to Bungalow Heaven.
Glósóli began and decades filled the window, thousands of images attaching themselves to the rocks and trees flashing past us in the dark. Time collapsed and by Saeglópur uncontrolled notes lifted from my throat and erupted from the tectonic fractures of Jonsi's soul, now together in a slow, spreading wave. The night reversed to sunset, and back to sunrise, arcing through days and months in a schizophrenia of cascading memories.
Notes create worlds.
Or awaken them.
Jón Þór Birgisson writes songs that have fingerprints, unmistakably part of the whole but unwaveringly unique, and instantly penetrating. Takk has a sound, but in fractions of seconds we know exactly what song it is, by the drone, by the falling bells, by the rising strings.
To write like this. To pull my own inner world up through my windpipe and sing it into collision with this one. To give songs thumbprints. To evoke in seconds, to shift a human heart with just a few notes.
To let my own soul shift.
To let my world create worlds, and let those worlds form a constellation of music.
I looked to Lo as she twisted the key and unplugged her phone, my face striped with glassy paths. We climbed our steps. Time accordioned back into place.
Unempty silence.
Art by Bene Rohlmann.

In 2008, I moved to British Columbia, Canada from Jamaica as an international student. I attended the Okanagan College and was enrolled in a Diploma in Crimnal Justce a two year program. I had enough to pay for a for my first semester and first two months of rent but beyond that I would be depending on my mom for assistance. At the time, I had to be enrolled for 6 months before I could apply for a work permit and accept empoyment.
My first semester was good, I made the deans list and felt pretty confident about moving forward. This was when reality struck. I found out from my mom she would not be able to help past the next semester so I would need to figure out my way forward. The cost of international tuition fees and plus the cost of my rent was proving to much for her. After completeing my second semester I was able to get a work permit. The work permit allowed me to accept work while school was on break. I started looking for work but because I was a immigrant, no one was willing to hire until the last two months of my summer break. This was a little too late as I was not able to save enough to cover tution cost. It was not possible to work and save for international student tution and cover rent in that time frame.
At the end of 2009, a friend of my mom who lived in Brampton offered to put me up for a few months. I reluctantly accepted the offer as it would mean giving up my progress at my current college. Once I was settled in Brampton I started applying for schools taht offered similiar programs. I was accepted to the Sheridan College that offered a similiar program but I ended up loosing some credits. Nonetheless, I continued to work and save and was able to cover a year of studies at sheridan college from September 2011 to may 2012. I ended with a 4.0 GPA.
At this point, time and money again caught up with me. I was working a minum wage job and would not be able to save enough to cover my tution completely for the next semester. A friend advised me to come work in Alberta for the summer as the pay their was much better that in Ontario. I listened and went to Alberta to find better paying work for the summer. In retrospect this was a bad idea. Even though I was able to find a better paying job, it was not enough to cover my tuition. I decided to stay in Alberta and maybe transfer to a new school. Again this was a bad idea as some credits were not transfereable. I was young and feeling pressured so I didnt make the best decisions.
I was accepted into a Bachelor of Arts in Policy studies program at the Mount Royal University. At the time I thought this was great but I wasnt wise enough to see the bigger picture. If I was struggling to complete a two year Diploma program because of the cost, there is no way I would be able to afford to complete a four year Bachelor program. I started classes in 2013 with my transfer credits putting me ahead a year and a half. I attended classes and worked while I could until April 2017 when my study and work permit expired. I was unable to renew beacause I could not show enough money to cover the rest of my degree.
I currently have just over a year of full time sutdies left, quite a few credits, some unused but no degree or diploma to show. I need to find a way to pay for the remainder of my tuition or face going back home with alot of alot of education, valuable work experience but no tangible degree to show. I found that no matter how brilliant you are, if you do not have a peace of paper that says so, all your brilliance dosent mean much. I made a few bad decisions but I do not regret them as I learnt a lot along my journey. I just wish I could finally complete what I started.
If possible I would like to come up with $10000 cad to cover the final year of my studies. If i'm able to get half this much by April 2018 I would be able to re-enroll in my program in September and move towards completions.

There are factories in other parts of the world who are just sloppy, not caring about their work. They don't sift and knead the clay properly, they don't place their tiles in precise hand-wooden molds to get a consistent size and thickness of each tile, the air-drying time is reduced and they don't wood-fire at extremely hot temperatures for at least a 3 day period to receive a less-porous and more durable terra cotta tile.
For many of our customers, they come to us for French Reclaimed Terra Cotta Tile Flooring. They choose this product for their beauty, durability and sense of history. But do they know why they can chose this product in the first place? This product is salvaged from Chateaux and Farmhouses around France because over 100 years later, it can be. The process 100 years ago of making European terra cotta tile flooring is the same process today - and French Reclaimed Terra Cotta Tile Flooring is the proof that there lies an incredible technical durability to this building material.

For many clients who come to us for French Reclaimed Terra Cotta Tile, they are adverse to anything but that, due to the shady reputation that terra cotta tiles have earned in America. However, clients are becoming more savvy and just like cars, homes and perfume - quality can vary greatly. With proper education, clients are realizing that Pave Tile's European Terra Cotta Tile Collections are just not to be compared to the sloppier versions of the product. It's like comparing...well...you get the idea.
For over 11 years at Pavé Tile, we have only been using European Terra Cotta Tile for all our own collections. It's our canvas upon which we produce incredibly old-looking terra cotta tile with decoratives that are subtle and elegant. We romance the product and have discovered secrets to achieve a patina that looks even better than it's reclaimed brother.

For many, terra cotta is a word they have heard, but not truly understood. According to Wikipedia, "Terracotta, Terra cotta or Terra-cotta is baked earth. It is clay deposits from the ground that exist around the globe in numerous countries. Throughout centuries, cultures have used clay as a primary means of expressing their culture in terms of sculpture and art as well as for building construction. From vessels and water pipes to surface embellishments - such as a portico over a door or covering the surface of a floor. Covering the surface of a floor in terra cotta tile - or baked earth - has been in existence since the beginning of civilization. In Mesopotamia 2800 B.C., terra cotta bricks and tiles were made for defensive city walls, floor coverings and wall decoration of important shrines. Some archaeologists believe that the invention of firing clay into tiles and other art forms came simultaneously from the Chinese and the Sumerians from Mesopotamia."
Phew! A little history first to underline how incredible terra cotta tile is for a building product. Like our beloved trinity of French terra cotta, French Limestone and French Oak - one cannot be installing more green of a product than from our perfect French triad of natural building materials.
The last part of my blog are photos from one of the French factories that make our terra cotta tile and the process of making superior terra cotta clay tiles.
It must begin with the clay. This lovely lump of clay looks like churned butter for the artisans have properly sifted it from impurities and kneaded it to release air pockets making the clay buttery smooth and malleable. This is the first finished step before it's placed in hand-made wooden molds.
|Hard work, the artisan knows just how much clay to place in each mold and for how long to manipulate the product to get a precise thickness once the tile is fired.
|Various textures can also be achieved at this stage of the process. From smooth to rough - depending on the techniques that the artisan employes.
|A seasoned terra cotta tile artisan, this gentleman and his family has been making terra cotta tiles for over 2 generations.
|The 3rd and last step of the drying process where the greenware clay tiles are stacked vertically to dry.
Finally, the terra cotta tiles are ready to be fired. There a various ways to fire terra cotta tile, and within our factories, the artisans use wood. Wood has so many benefits artistically and technically. A hot wood fire - for a period of 3 consecutive days - makes the tiles more durable and less porous. In wood-burning kilns, the temperature of 1800 degrees Fahrenheit is achieved using a mixture of olive pits and their branches. The fire has to be continually stoked and artisans will sleep over night and take turns in shifts at the factory to keep a watchful eye on the temperature of the wood. Artistically, due to the wood firing, the temperature will vary in degrees and depending on where each tile is placed in the kilns, the final colors will vary from rose and red to ocher and moss.
|The photo above is one of the cavernous wood-burning kilns used at this factory to produce our terra cotta tiles.
I need to end this blog with a final thought - "Wear your terra cotta tile well". Pavé Tile's European terra cotta tile flooring is not "a bull in a china shop" situation. This is one the best work-horses of building materials you could install in your home. Life is messy and fortunately it's the mess that makes a terra cotta tile floor even better. The texture will become more leather-like, the colors will deepen and any surface knicks or stains will become a part of the floor.
In that idyllic French farmhouse where they reclaimed terra cotta tiles, the living conditions were - well - not like ours today. Chickens and pigs in and out of the house, mud from the fields, wine spilled from too many family gatherings - and your are worried about your kids????? Living of course with our own product installed in our home, I have watched through the years as my floor has darkened. Installed in the front entry as well - in New England - years of mud, slush and snow have just made my floor even richer. It cleans up so well - stains that I thought I saw are just now characteristics of my floor. I love that floor.
À la prochaine!

You may have just noticed that Teacups and Typewriters has had a complete re-vamp over night! Well, this happened on Sunday afternoon actually. It's not 100% where I'd like it to be yet, but I'll be working on it slowly but surely!
My blog isn't the only thing that's getting a shiny and new look and feel, because I'm gathering home office makeover ideas too!
I spend a fair amount of my downtime on Pinterest, drooling over all the pretty home offices out there. I'm jealous. I need a pretty home office for myself. Here are some of my favourite pictures that I've pinned so far, and they all have three things in common: light, bright, and white. And super organised too.
So over the next couple of weeks I plan to start accumulating all the goodies I'll need to re-do my office space at home. I am excited!
What does your home office look like? Any tips or recommended places to buy nice stationery and other office goodies?
